..this might be the most impressive roster the bucs have fielded in YEARS.

still, we all know that what works on paper doesn't always translate to wins on the field. injuries are inevitable, and that early bye week doesn't bode well for a long season.

significant upgrades:

darrelle revis
dashon goldson
jonathan banks
jonathan casillas

current issues: health

darrelle revis might be the best cb in the league, but that means nothing if he isn't healthy. the loss of connor barth will likely have a serious impact.

the additions of glennon, hillis, and crabtree bring much needed depth for such a physical team.

*ronde barber's retirement is a significant loss. his leadership on the field was invaluable. hopefully, schiano's smart enough to offer him a position in the coaching staff.

right now, schiano needs to show serious improvement in his ability to manage games. if the bucs plan to compete for a championship, they need to show that they have what it takes to finish games strong.
