Week 1 Buccaneers vs Dallas

In week one the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will be taking on the Dallas Cowboys in a match up that will be a definite test for this years Buccaners team. The Cowboys will be making the trip into Raymond James Stadium without T.O. (now w/ Buffalo) who was released in the off season, but still have very capable receivers in Williams, Crayton, and TE Jason Witten. The also have their Running back tandem of Marion Barber, and Felix Jones along with a Beast of an offensive line.



For the Buccaneers to have a shot in this game they need to:

1. Stop the run - The defense has to contain Barber and Jones or they will run all over them all day long.


2. Pressure the QB- The Bucs must get to Romo and pressure him. If they can't sack him, they at least have to pressure him and hurry his throws.
3. The Buccaneers MUST: RUN, RUN, RUN the football to set up play action or it's going to be a very long day.

4. Last the Bucs have to use play action to take some shots down field. When they do take the big shots down field,they MUST capitalize on them!!

With all of this said I believe it is going to be a hard fought and close game and will be the first chance to see what this years Bucs team is made of, but in the end I believe that it will be a 24-17 win for the Dallas Cowboys.
