Buccaneers move Vernon Hargreaves inside, but will it last?

When the Buccaneers defense stepped onto New Era Field in Week 7, the first thing I did was look for Hargreaves. Of course, I looked outside, expecting him to be lined up against one of the Bills’ perimeter receivers.

Instead, to my surprise, I found him inside in the slot. Not only was he inside, but he was right on the line of scrimmage. Playing tight against Buffalo’s slot receiver.

Now, I say I was surprised, but it wasn’t a negative. I was pleasantly surprised. Along with some other media sources who from various echelons of coverage, I’ve been just one voice calling for Hargreaves’ move to the interior for weeks now.
