Coach Jon Gruden says Antonio Bryant and Galloway play the same split end position, and the choice is clear.

"Antonio is the reason," Gruden said. "Right now, that's just the way it is. It's unfortunate. Michael Clayton is our flanker and Joey is a split end and so is Antonio. (Those are) the positions they play. Hopefully you are not holding that against me for playing Antonio Bryant.

"Joey has been our split end. It sounds easy. It sounds achievable. Joey is not the kind of guy right now in my opinion that is comfortable coming off the bench and playing 18 to 20 plays a game. He's a guy that functions better when he's playing (every down). Being a third receiver, being a guy that comes in and plays (in situations) -- it's not for everybody. It's hard. It's frustrating for me. We tried to mix it up early in the season with Antonio at flanker. That's obviously not his best position. It's obviously not Joey's best position. We have two guys that play the same position. It's unfortunate, but it's reality."

--The Bucs had no pass completions of 50 yards or more before Monday night, when Antonio Bryant had two.
