If you had asked me a few months ago what my biggest concern for the Buccaneers was, I’d have likely told you “offensive line”. I was thankfully wrong, and in fact, this unit turned out to be one of the few strengths of the team. The two biggest reasons for that? Center Ali Marpet, and right tackle Demar Dotson. If the season ended today, there’s a good chance that both players would be pro-bowlers.
Marpet’s move from right guard to center was one of the biggest story lines of the Buccaneer off-season, given how strong his play had been during his first two seasons.
