Question Marks:
- Josh Freeman - Freeman has had a roller coaster of a career already, with 2010 clearly being his best season. While last year was not horrible, it was less than what the Buccaneers would want from their franchise quarterback. The team selected Mike Glennon in the third round, so Freeman has to perform this season, or he could be passed by the North Carolina State QB.
- Secondary - The Buccaneers are the only team to allow more passing yards than the New Orleans Saints last year, with Tampa Bay giving up 4,758 yards through the air. The team addressed the secondary aggressively this offseason, including the trade for Darrelle Revis and picking Johnthan Banks with their first selection of the Draft. Now, they just need the pieces to all work together.
- Pass Rush - If there was a unit that was worse than the Buccaneers' secondary in the NFL last year, it was the Buccaneers' pass rush. They tallied 27 sacks last season, 29th in the league. And, they lost their top pass rusher in free agency when Michael Bennett bolted for the Seattle Seahawks. Generating pressure on opposing quarterbacks will be a question mark all season long.
