LAKE BUENA VISTA - For the fans who come to watch the Bucs train at the Disney Wide World of Sports complex each day, no player warrants a louder cheer than fullback Mike Alstott.
Clearly, he is a player fans wish would be more involved in the offense. And, as it turns out, they just may get their wish this season.
While holed up inside his darkened office during the off- season, Coach Jon Gruden spent some of his time designing about two dozen new plays specifically for Alstott.
``He created some plays for me,'' Alstott said. ``Probably, I'll get more reps in the passing game this year. We've been working on some situations to get me more involved there.''
One reason for that may be the potential loss of running back Michael Pittman, who faces a possible jail sentence and/or NFL suspension as a result of his arrest on domestic violence charges May 31.
