Who isn’t pumped up for the upcoming Buccaneers season? Heck, we all felt that way immediately after last season ended. A five-game winning streak nearly ended the long playoff drought. The Bucs have an elite player on the outside in Mike Evans, and a defense that not only grew, it grew together. When you get a team playing on that level that is improving as a group, special things happen.
They haven’t stood pat either. The roster that was on the verge of the playoffs is, at least on paper, better. DeSean Jackson and O.J. Howard make the offense downright scary.
