Bucs 2003 & Dolphins 2005

[BenchFiedler]

I think these 2 teams are very similar in a way...The Bucs had 1st year coach John Gruden(compared to Saban 1st year coach) who brought in an old veteran (Brad Johnson) who took them to the promise land...
I'm not saying we will win the superbowl but the scenarios are very similar.

QB--- Brad Johnson = Gus Frerotte
Shaun King =AJ Feeley

WR--- K. Johnson = Marty Booker
Joe Jurevicius < David Boston
Keenan McCardell < Chambers

RB--- aLStott and Pittman < Ronnie Brown and Ricky Williams

Kevin Carter could be our Warren Sapp
Z. Thomas could be our Derrick Brooks

There is a trend here and I don't want to say superbowl but it is very similar to the Bucs ....

brad johnson was a pro bowler and threw for over 4,000 yards one year.

You are missing one huge thing, Dungy left Gruden with a good team. Wanny left Saban with a mucked up pile of crap.

The 2002 tampa Bay Buccaneers had one of the two best defenses of the last five years9the other being the 2000 baltimore Ravens)

Agreed. Nuff said.

The Bucs had outstanding Defensive and Offensive Lines. We are still piecing together our D line and our O-Line last year was one of the worst in history.
The D-Line may get to where its "good" but I seriously doubt "great" this season.
The O-Line is gonna take more time...even for Houck.
