- Buccaneers.comTampa Bay's offensive depth chart has 26 players on it after Saturday's cuts http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/lavonte-david-jersey , including six from a receiving corps that may have been the team's most talented position in training campD-Line Gets Added Depth Over Linebackers - Buccaneers.comThe Bucs kept 10 defensive linemen on their initial 53-man roster while retaining only five linebackers, though injuries likely played a part in both of those decisionsPeyton Barber A Popular Guy - JoeBucsFan.comBucs running back Peyton Barber may not be a household name, but apparently, those who enjoy wagering are big fans.Buccaneers keep their entire draft class on the 53-player roster – ProFootballTalkThe Buccaneers chose to keep safety Isiah Johnson over Keith Tandy, with Tandy (pictured) among the team's cuts Saturday. Tampa Bay also released safety Josh Robinson, receiver Bobo Wilson, receiver Bernard Reedy, cornerback Javien Elliott, defensive end DaVonte Lambert, offensive tackle Brad Sea...Keith Tandy: Released by Bucs - CBSSports.comTandy has been a regular in the Buccaneers secondary since he was selected in the sixth round of the 2012 draft http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/kwon-alexander-jersey , but a recent hamstring injury may have forced the hands of the front office.Bucs Likely To Put Beckwith On PUP, Unrein Could Go On IR To Start Season | Pewter ReportThe Bucs will likely put LB Kendell Beckwith on PUP list and may put DT Mitch Unrein on injured reserve with a designation to return.The Buccaneers’ quarterback room is just fine Remember when news of Jameis Winston’s three-game suspension broke and it caused mass panic? Remember when people said the Buccaneers absolutely had to trade for Nick Foles or Teddy Bridgewater — who is going to New Orleans — or some other backup somewhere in the league because Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Griffin weren’t reliable backup options? Remember when people said that even when Winston returns, Tampa Bay doesn’t have a long-term answer at quarterback because he lacks what it takes to be a successful NFL quarterback? “Well, well, well... How the turntables...” -Michael ScottSure, you can say that it’s only preseason. But even if it’s “only preseason,” Tampa Bay’s quarterbacks have done a whole lot to quell any worry in the last few weeks. Like Pewter Report’s Trevor Sikkema expertly outlined in his most recent “Cover 3,” what a quarterback does and how a quarterback looks doesn’t have to be judged by the defenses that he is facing. Whether a defense is full of starters, backups or third-stringers doesn’t have much connection, if any http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/vernon-hargreaves-iii-jersey , to the field vision, decision-making, arm strength and ball placement that a quarterback puts on display.If you’re not big into Pro Football Focus’ grading system, watch the film on Winston, Fitzpatrick and Griffin from the last three games. You’ll see big throws, smart decisions and good ball security from all three. With the talent that this team has at the wide receiver and tight end positions, those three things will be enough for the Bucs to field a strong offense.If you’re just into the basic stats, check those out too:Winston: 30-of-41 (73.2 percent) for 388 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptionsFitzpatrick: 17-of-28 (60.7 percent) for 183 yards Womens Gerald McCoy Jersey , no touchdowns, no interceptionsGriffin: 34-of-48 (70.8 percent) for 367 yards, three touchdowns, no interceptionsThere’s a reason that Winston was drafted No. 1 overall in 2015 and has set NFL records early in his career. It’s no coincidence that Fitzpatrick is heading into his 14th season in the league. And the Bucs aren’t keeping Griffin on the roster for the fourth straight year just because they feel like it. All three guys are valuable to this team, and for good reason.This quarterback group has put its full potential on display in the last three weeks. The coaching staff and front office clearly believe in the group they have. After everything we’ve seen, is there any valid reason that the fan base shouldn’t feel the same way?
