When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers began looking at the possibility of moving guard Ali Marpet to center early in 2017, it was with the goal of getting the "best five players on the field" as an offensive line. That's a phrase repeated often by both Head Coach Dirk Koetter and General Manager Jason Licht.
Beyond that, the Buccaneers are also trying to determine the best seven-man combination of linemen to keep active on game days. And in a larger sense, they will use training camp and the preseason to figure out which nine or 10 O-Linemen make up the best possible crew overall.
