In pre-season, the bucs have not stopped the run up the middle.

This is interesting to me, because I've always thought the weakness of the Bucs' D was to a power running game between the tackles. That was how the Raiders smoked the Bucs last year, 45-0.

Then the Glazer powers-that-be cut Culpepper

Are you saying this was not a Dungy move?!? It certainly was a shock to GMs around the NFL.

Interesting on the Bucs from today's paper:

After being six points from the SB last year, they have 10 new starters, compared with who started 1st game last season (7 on offense).

Position/Last Year/This Year

WR/Emanuel/Johnson
LT/Gruber/Pierson
RT/Diaz/McDaniel
C/Mayberry/Christy
RT/Odom/Wunsch
WR/Anthony/Green
QB/Dilfer/King

RDE/White/Jones
NT/Culpepper/McFarland
MLB/Nickerson/Duncan

I would rate 6 of the 10 improvements; 3 downgrades; 1 to be determined.

Then you add in a new offense coordinator, who knows whats going to happen this year?

Yes, Sapp has put on a few, but I wouldn't call him slow.
