Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have captured the passions of Tampa Bay fans from young to old. Their first season, 1976, the Buccaneers went 0-14.

Through many recent quarterback changes the Buccaneers continue to be fierce competitors in the NFL and go toward their 2nd Super Bowl win, which should not be far away for these champions in Tampa Bay.

If so, they will run it with young, fresh legs.

Coming off a 3-13 season, the Bucs will be even more inexperienced this season. It begins with quarterback Josh Freeman, who went 3-6 as a starter last season. Freeman could have as many as two rookie receivers to throw passes to.

On defense, the Bucs will rely on two rookie defensive tackles: Gerald McCoy, a first-round pick from Oklahoma and Brian Price, a second-rounder from UCLA.

"(Coaches) told me I needed to make the quarterback uncomfortable and that the quarterback needs to feel us," McCoy said.

Morris, who took over the defensive play-calling duties the final six games last season,...
QB Freeman returns to practice for Buccaneers (AP): Tampa Bay quarterback Josh Freeman practiced for the first time since breaking the thumb on his throwing hand and expects to play in the Buccaneers' season opener against the Cleveland Browns.

Big concerns: NFC South (SportingNews.com): Atlanta Falcons The starting secondary will play together for the first time in Sunday's opener at Pittsburgh. CB Dunta Robinson didn't play in the preseason because of a tight hamstring. He did practice the last two weeks, but the coaches didn't want to expose him to injury in a meaningless exhibition game. During the offseason minicamp and spring practices, he lined up on the left side. He will play the right corner against Pittsburgh.
