Quick Take: Buccaneers at Texans

Keep your eye on ...

Buccaneers wide receivers: The starting job opposite Joey Galloway remains open going into the final preseasson game. Veteran Ike Hilliard is trying to fight off Michael Clayton, Antonio Bryant and Maurice Stovall for the position.

Bucs coach Jon Gruden: In a game that does not mean much, except to figure out who will inhabit the final spots on the roster, keeping an eye on the animated gesticulations of the Bucs coach could be one of the most entertaining parts of the game.

Texans WR Kevin Walter: The wide receiver has looked sharp in Houston's last two preseason games, recording six receptions and a touchdown in each contest. Look for Walter to continue hooking up with QB Matt Schaub, though playing time will probably limit him to fewer catches against the Cardinals.

Texans safeties: C.C. Brown and Will Demps are locks to start, but the battle for the Texans' backup safety spot is still raging heading into the final preseason game. Rookie Dominique Barber is competing with Glenn Earl, Nick Ferguson and David Harris.
