Outlook: Coach Remy Rodrgiuez has 13 starters back, but he must replace key skill position talent. Newcomer Matthew Pena is likely to step in at QB for the Buccaneers, while Abel Fitts moves up to the starting RB slot. Michael Perry is a good candidate to be Pena's top target in the passing game. Rodriguez's team is not very deep, and though the playoffs are the goal, the Bucs must avoid injuries and have key players step up in big spots.
