TAMPA, Fla. -- One day after losing pass rusher Jacquies Smith for the season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers?signed running back Jacquizz Rodgers to a one-year deal.The move reunites him with Dirk Koetter and Mike Smith, his former offensive coordinator and head coach, respectively, with the Atlanta Falcons.The Bucs were down to two running backs last week after Mike James was placed on injured reserve. Rodgers, 26, who was among the Bears final roster cuts, worked out for the team last Tuesday. Rather than sign him and be on the hook for possible veteran termination pay, the team opted to promote Peyton Barber from the practice squad.Per the NFLs Collective Bargaining Agreement, players with four or more credited seasons who are on NFL rosters in Week 1 of the regular season and subsequently released, are allowed to collect one-time termination pay. If a veteran player is on an NFL roster after the season opener, he is still entitled to those payments but at a reduced rate.Rodgers played in Koetters offense from 2012-14, and provides the Bucs a change-of-pace option for the teams primary running back, Doug Martin, and the sure-handed, pass-catching back, Charles Sims.Last season with the Bears, he saw action in just five games, suffering a broken arm in Week 5 against the Kansas City Chiefs. His best seasons came in 2012-13 with Atlanta, where he recorded 764 and 673 yards from scrimmage, respectively, and six touchdowns altogether.In addition to being a change-of-pace back for the Bucs, he can return kicks. From 2012-13, he had 48 kickoff returns for 1,167 yards, averaging 24.3 yards per return. Against the Falcons in Week 1, the Bucs had Adam Humphries lining up for both punt and kickoff returns, and newly-signed wide receiver Cecil Shorts III is expected to work in there as well.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- The roar of "Tahiti" from 20,000 fans was as inspiring as it was unsettling for a group of footballers who struggle to attract 100 fans to their matches usually. Never before had they played in front of such a big crowd. Never before had they even made it to an international football tournament watched by millions around the world. But this was the tiny island paradise of Tahiti, more accustomed to the isolation of the Pacific Ocean, taking on Nigeria at the Confederations Cup. The record books will show a 6-1 drubbing by Nigeria, the four-time World Cup participants ranked 31 in the FIFA rankings that have Tahiti at 138. But in the Mineirao Stadium, Tahiti not only avoided humiliation by scoring that single goal but provided moments of menace to trouble the African champions. It wasnt even the teams only professional player who scored the Tahiti goal. Jonathan Tehau headed into the net from a corner early in the second half to reduce the teams deficit to 3-1. "Its just huge," Tehau said. "Already, coming here to Brazil, and then scoring the goal, Im very happy for me, for my family, my friends and my teammates." "My first thoughts are for my family and my parents because they give me the opportunity to play football when I was a kid and today I scored," he added. The team then gave its rowing boat "Paddle" celebration its biggest audience yet, with 20,187 in the stadium, and millions watching on television including Tahitis government, which interrupted its weekly cabinet for the game. "Its not easy for us," defender Nicolas Vallar said. "We needed to be supported by all the world and all the supporters in the stadium. "Its very, very exciting to hear Tahiti, Tahiti. Its not usual because in Tahiti we usually play with 100 people and 20,000 today -- thats amazing." Even more amazing is the fact Tahiti landed among the eight teams at the 2014 World Cup warm-up event despite having just one professional player in the squad: striker Marama Vahirua "Weve shown the world theres some real quality in Tahiti," said Vahirua, who is currently at Greek club Panthrakikos.dddddddddddd "Just our presence here is a victory and it was fantastic to be adopted by the Brazilian public." The expectations were that Tahiti would be overawed but it managed to claim the first shot on goal after just two minutes, when defender Vincent Simon struck a low effort. But a mix-up in the defence allowed Nigeria to go in front three minutes later. A shot from Uwa Echiejile from 20 yards pinged off Alvin Tehau, and took a final deflection off Nicolas Vallar which wrong-footed goalkeeper Xavier Samin as the ball landed in the net. A misplaced Tahiti pass allowed Nigeria to double its lead in the 10th, with Nnamdi Oduamadi beating two players before scoring. Oduamadi was on target again in the 26th after Samin spilled Ahmed Musas cross. Nigeria appeared to be taking the game too casually, missing a succession of chances. And although there was never any threat of anything but a Nigeria victory, Tahiti showed adventure throughout, managing five shots. The goal came in the 54th minute when Vahirua floated a corner in and Tehau rose above Efe Ambrose and headed in home at back post. "They came out to fight like lions and it was a little bit difficult to up our game when you know you are playing against them," Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said. "You think everything is easy but they showed us they can play football and ... I was worried because we had clear chances, 100 per cent chances and you need to bury the goals." But having avoided conceding again, Nigerias nerves were steadied in the 69th when goal-scorer Tehau turned the ball into his own net from Oduamadis cross. Oduamadi completed his hat trick when he turned in the ball from close range from Brown Ideyes cross and Echiejile slammed in the sixth in the 80th. "The last 15 minutes were really difficult for us physically because weve never experienced such a tough game before," Tahiti coach Eddy Etaeta said. It will get even tougher. Tahiti has Spain and Uruguay still to play. ' ' '
