Running Backs


Cadillac Williams will be the starter, of course, but the Bucs would really like to see him earn the right to stay on the field on third down. To do that, he has to become a better pass catcher than Michael Pittman. That’s asking a lot because Pittman is one of the best in the business, but it’s more important than ever this year, because the backs’ ability to make plays in the passing game will be the key to any success Garcia has at quarterback. When he took over the Eagles offense late last season, Garcia leaned heavily on Brian Westbrook to carry the load for him. He’ll need to do something similar here, so Williams’ ability to become an every-down back is crucial. It will also be crucial for the Bucs to get a strong contribution form their fullbacks, Mike Alstott and B.J. Askew. Both are good pass catchers so both should get plenty of playing time.
