The talented Bucs will open up the 2017 season against the talented Dolphins in Miami and the Dolphins seem to have the quarterback situation figured out with Jay Cutler playing as well as he has in years. The Dolphins also have all sorts of talented such as receivers Jarvis Landry, Kenny Stills, running back Jay Ajayi and tight end Julius Thomas. Miami also has a very solid defense with the veteran defensive end, Cameron Wake and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. The Bucs finally have the leadership at quarterback with Jameis Winston, receivers DeSean Jackson and Mike Evans and I could be wrong. With Doug Martin out due to suspension, Jacquizz Rodgers will shine. The Bucs defense played lights out during the preseason with leaders Gerald McCoy, Lavonte David and with the signing of safety TJ Ward, I really can’t wait to see how the secondary matches up with Landry and Stills.
