The official Tampa Bay Buccaneers thread; Jameis Winston/Dirk Koetter era

We've given you the keys to the kingdom, Mr. Schiano. Please don't let us down! Failure is not an option.

Three big additions to the team for 2012. Vincent Jackson, Eric Wright and Carl Nicks. Money well spent.

The Buccaneers also added two impact players in the first round of the 2012 NFL draft. Safety Mark Barron from Alabama was taken with the 7th overall pick and running back Doug Martin from Boise State was taken with the 31st overall pick. They also traded up into the tail end of the second round to select linebacker Lavonte David from Nebraska with the 58th overall pick. All three players are expected to start in 2012 and make an immediate impact.

I'm looking for somewhere around 8 wins this year.

[iAM-IncReDiBLe-]

I'm seeing 6-10, 3-3 in the division spitting every game with each team and wins against the Skins, Rams and cowboys. Leo Eric wright is not a good pick up. He's one of the worst cbs in the league. I loved the Bucs draft. I want to see how Blunt and Martin idea works out.

Just curious as to what makes you think this?

He had a bad season last year. I think he gave up the most receptions in the NFL or close to.

Eric wright is not a good pick up. He's one of the worst cbs in the league.

He was ranked 24th in the entire NFL in WPA out of every CB in the league that played more than a third of their team's snaps last season. About 70 guys or so qualified.

He was horrible for the Lions. Statistically almost if not the worst cb in football. The season before that he was pretty damn bad for the Browns. At one point in his life he was decent with potential. At this point he is straight garbage but who knows what happens this season. He was throw at the second most times out of any cb last season because qbs no he sucks. Expect the same this year since Talib is damn good an they won't go after him with Wright on the other side.

Re: The official Tampa Bay Buccaneers thread; the Greg Schiano era (2012-)

I see the last 4 games determining if Tampa can squeak in the playoffs. I won't be disappointed if the Bucs don't make the playoffs though. For goodness sake I just want them to be competitive in every game.

[TheShizNo1]

I'm seeing 7-9 wins. I'm interested to see what we do on defense. The pickups make me think we'll still use a decent amount of cover 2.

I'm very anxious about the offense. I blame a lot of last season on the play calling, especially Blount's lack of production. With that offensive line and VJax, I can't help but be excited about the potential.

Assuming talib doesn't spend next season in the slammer.

I am liking Greg Schiano more and more each day.

Classy move right here.

[TheShizNo1]

I've definitely become a huge fan.
