One could hear the frustration if not desperation in Roy Miller’s voice after the game. Speaking on the Bucs radio network, Miller, despite playing a good game and being a stud rookie, was grasping for words as to why the Bucs are making a run at the top overall pick in the NFL draft next spring.

“You have to give Donovan [McNabb] credit,” Miller said. “We let up a few big plays and that cannot happen. We have to go to work. That’s all there is to say. Sure, [the Eagles] are great players on the field, but we cannot let that happen.

“We started out we were in the game the whole time. Jimmy [Wilkerson] was able to get on the edge and get some sacks. Got to give him credit. He had some great [offensive] tackles to go up against.”
