TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS threw Duffel Bags in all directions and bought an ISLAND and a High-End SAFETY and was that enough to get them past the FALCONS or in the "Fight for VINCE" Tourney...#BUCSnation #ItsABucsLife #FIREtheCannons #CampSCHIANO

Have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers arrived in the NFC South and can you put them in the same breathe of the Falcons or even the Saints in 2013? The Big Pirate Ship Owners, The Glazers, spent a nice chunk a change to get Bucs Lead Man Schiano a few New Toys like Revis Island and my dude Dashon @theHawk38 Goldson among other pieces. Can Bucs QB Josh Freeman take that next step to put him in that Top 10 QB Class on Sunday" Will the "Muscle Hamster" come out of his cage with no Sophomore Slump? I know this that Defense and that Secondary will be "Too Legit to Quit" and forget Hammer Time...#ItsABucsLife.

*Revis Island as we go to press is practicing but not on the field in full contact drills....

Offensively the Bucs are right there as WR V-Jack and Williams tore up Secondaries but it still all goes back to Freeman an ho he performs. Boise State's by way of the East Bay RB Doug "Muscle Hamster" Martin went off his Freshman Season and what will he do for encore as he is a Hybrid Ray "Charm City Express #27" Rice with 2nd level hyper warp speed. The O-Line is intact and the only concern is 2013 Free Agent Pick-Up Gabe Carmimi for the Bears as he is penciled opposite of the strong side of that Bucs O-Line starting with Penn and Nicks. #rd Wide out is another huge question as there is a lack of quality depth as they did pick up ex-Cowboy WR Kevin Ogletree.

Defensively this is where the Bucs where make their mark in 2013 as they should be ferocious. DT Gerald McCoy is finally living up to his lofty expectations as is DE Adrian Clayborn from Kinnick Stadium Lore. They have a Top 10 Tackler in 2nd year Backer Lavonte David of Big Red Lincoln who is the other side of Panthers Stud Backer Luke Kuechly. Then you have that retooled Secondary led by 2013 FA Pick Up from the Niners FS Dashon @theHawk38 Golson who is very underrated and checks are already in the mail headed to League Office as we go to press. He has 2nd year stud SS Mark "Robber" Barron of 'Bama and Revis Island if he is healthy for Week 1. They will go with opposite of Revis Island the 2012 Jim Thorpe Award Winner Top 2013 Pick Mississippi State CB Jonathan Banks and he was a 2nd round pick with definite 1st round talent.

Schiano and Company have the rugged NFC West and the what looks to be average at best AFC East. The Division Games with two against both the Falcons and Saints will be rough. That revamped Secondary to go with that aggressive Defense will all hinder around Freeman the QB as its a "QB Driven League".

Projected 2nd in NFC South at 10-6...
