TAMPA — No need to map out parade routes just yet. No need to print up those playoff tickets.
But go ahead and allow yourself to be somewhat optimistic about the Bucs as training camp swings into its first full week. Even if it's just a little bit. Even if it's cautiously so. Even if we're talking specifically about one side of the football.
Dare we say, "Fire those cannons?!"
Compared to where the Bucs were a year ago at this time, it's easy to get excited thinking about the Bucs moving the ball from here to there with "there'' being past the closest first down marker and into the nearest end zone.
