Opportunities:
1st round selection DT Gerald McCoy from Oklahoma &
2nd round selection DT Brian Price from UCLA
could dramatically improve the ‘Bucs defensive line.
Backup RB Kareem Huggins and 4th round pick WR
Mike Williams impressed in preseason.
2nd round pick WR Arrelious Benn has major potential.
Threats:
QB Josh Freeman’s fractured thumb,
loss of WR Antonio Bryant,

In division (Super Bowl champs New Orleans Saints,
playoff caliber Atlanta Falcons, .500 finisher Carolina Panthers).
Schedule Analysis:
In 2010 the ‘Bucs will play just 5 times against playoff squads from a season ago;
Other potentially imposing matchups for this young squad include;
Coming into the season it appears Tampa Bay might be underdogs in at least eleven of their
games.
Record Projection:
We project the Buccaneers to go (4-12) in 2010 as
inexperience is likely to get the best of the squad in ’10.
