Tampa Bay apparently has decided to switch DE Greg White from left defensive end back to right end, his natural position.

The Bucs had hoped White could start at LE and his pass rushing ability would compliment RE Gaines Adams. However, after two preseason games, Tampa Bay did not see the production from White it had hoped for and seems to be giving up on the move. White had never played left end prior to this season, so his struggle should not come as a major surprise.

As a result, DE Kevin Carter will likely start at LE this season with his backup to be determined. The possible candidates are Greg Peterson, Charles Bennett, or White.

White had 50 tackles, eight sacks, one pass defensed, seven forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries last season. He hoped to obtain a new contract from Tampa Bay after 2007, even missing the first day players had to report for training camp as a result. White signed a minimal contract offer ($370,000) before Tampa Bay’s first practice and will have to shine as a backup to receive a better contract offer next season.
