This week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a mini camp. This marks the end of the first part of the NFL offseason.
We are finally nearing the start of the NFL season. It’s been a long time since we’ve seen Tampa Bay humiliate themselves against the Dallas Cowboys on the field.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers sports team is going through a new era, and things look a lot different. This team still has a lot to figure out and decide, so here are five things to watch for the rest of the summer.
QB battle
Many people believe that this job has already been decided as it looks like Baker will be responsible for this crime. Now, I’m still not sure, but I agree that Baker’s situation is a lose-lose situation at this point. This does not mean that this cannot happen. As death said, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers spent a second round on Kyle Trask, and that’s nothing.
They must have liked what they saw because the front office that made that choice is still there. Although this position has largely been decided, it is still the most important position in football, and the Bucs’ coaches and front office will have to make the most important decision about it. The quarterback is also one of the centers in millions of soccer bets on favorite websites, such as bets mostly on the individual QB’s offensive performance.
How will Bush’s offensive line fill out?
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are undergoing a remarkable reshaping of their offensive line. Tristan Wirfs, who previously held the right tackle position, has now switched to the left tackle position. This change entails filling in the remaining spots on the offensive line to achieve a cohesive unity. While Ryan Jensen appears to have secured his place as center, the other positions are yet to be finally decided.
Although it has been suggested that last year’s second round draft pick Luke Goedeke could assume the right tackle role as he did during his college stint, there are reservations about his performance last season. Hence, certainty in this regard is lacking.
As for janitorial sites, there are many contenders vying for spots. A mix of players like Robert Hennessy, who temporarily filled Jensen’s place after an injury cut short his season, Cody Mauch, this year’s second-round pick, Aaron Steiny, who started in the Super Bowl, and/or Brandon Walton would likely fill those roles. It is critical that the Buccaneers significantly improve the performance of their offensive line, which was the weakest group last year. The decision-making process regarding these positions is of paramount importance, especially since the quarterback position can no longer be relied upon as a strength position.
Devin White mode
Devin White came to mini camp last week, but he didn’t seem too excited to be there. He may be “detained” to avoid a fine, or he may be hurt by the summer. This could be due to a lot of things, but I wouldn’t guess what it is. What I can tell you is that White asked to be traded because his contract talks with the Bucs went nowhere. He is currently in the final year of his initial contract as a rookie.
The main problems are that he plays a position that isn’t a financial priority for many teams, it’s past the time when teams were willing to spend a lot of money on full-backs, and no team would be willing to give a new contract to a good, but not great, inside-back. No hard feelings. He just isn’t strong enough in negotiations, and the Bucs may soon have to make a tough choice to avoid the locker room circus.
Bucs fans will likely see a new veteran running back
Chase Edmonds is a good man. He has a lot of personality. It probably won’t start soon. But what about Ezekiel Elliott and Dalphine Cook? They could give the Bucs a more reliable and stable option for the position now that Lenny is gone. Both are former All-Pro players and can help the Bucs, who were the worst rushing team in football last year. In a perfect world, Rachael White would start saving the Bucs some money, but who knows what will happen once summer ends and the Bucs figure out a few things.
Quick Rotation Bucs Edge
So far, Joe Tryon-Soyinka’s play as a pass defender has not been this great. He didn’t live up to the Bucs’ first-round billing in the class of 2021, so they took out Louisville’s Yaya Diaby in the third round to fill the spot. Tampa Bay has Shaq Barrett, who returned from a tough Achilles injury, and Anthony Nelson, a former fourth-round draft pick who was re-signed this summer, to complete the passing rotation. This gives them the opportunity to use four different players in the position.
Tom Brady’s time is up (what, you think I’m never going to talk about him?). These pirates look and should be viewed in a completely different way. However bad they may be, there won’t be any bad stories about how bad they are because the most they have to hope for is to be able to compete in the worst league in football. So instead of worrying about whether or not the Bucs will defeat division foes like the Saints, Falcons, and Panthers, keep an eye on these five things.
