TAMPA - In retrospect, we probably should have seen that 4-12 disaster that was the 2006 season coming.

Though they were coming off an encouraging playoff run and had 21 of 22 starters returning, the 2006 Bucs were a team with an aging defense and an inexperienced offense.

That certainly won’t be the case this year. The Bucs have injected a lot of youth into their defense and most of the kids on offense have either matured a little bit or been replaced.

Whether that will make for a more successful season remains to be seen, but it should make for a rather dramatic training camp. With lots of position battles to be waged, this could be one of the most interesting camps in years.

With that in mind, here’s a position by position breakdown of the Bucs and a look at the players to watch as the battle for roster spots and starter’s job wages on at training camp.
