2007 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Tickets – Gruden’s Revenge

1) The Pursuit - More than anything Jon Gruden wants to give Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets back the prestige they once had. After winning a Super Bowl the Buccaneers sank back into the tar pits of NFL mediocrity. But Gruden has had enough time now to rebuild his team and Tampa Bay should make some waves in the NFC South.
2) The Defense – After struggling along for years with the remnants of an aging Tony Dungy defense, the Buccaneers have started to rebuild. Via the NFL Draft, Tampa Bay landed Clemson defensive end Gaines Adams, Oregon State safety Sabby Piscatelli, and outside linebacker Quincy Black of New Mexico.
3) Ryan Sims – To go along with the rookies, Buccaneers tickets also present Ryan Sims, defensive tackle from the Kansas City Chiefs. Sims will play a major role in improving the Bucs run defense.
4) The Quarterbacks – You can’t say Chris Simms isn’t tough. Returning to a game after rupturing his spleen is proof enough. But is Simms the answer at QB for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Maybe. But then again, Jon Gruden signed Jeff Garcia away from the Eagles. Gruden loves a veteran quarterback and Garcia proved last season that he’s still got the fire. The competition at QB will spark some controversy to go with your Tampa bay Buccaneers tickets.
5) The Cadillac – Carnell “Cadillac” Williams suffered through the sophomore jinx in 2006. That’s over. With the Buccaneers new emphasis on the running game Williams will improve on his 2006 numbers.
6) Joey Galloway – No doubt that Galloway’s numbers suffered in 2006 as the Bucs went to battle with Bruce Gradkowski under center. With either Simms or Garcia under center you can expect over 1,000 yards and double digit TD’s from Galloway.
7) A Raging Jon Gruden – Regardless of his team’s performance you can expect some Kodak moments with Jon Gruden. From the pre-game warm-up to the post-game interview, nobody can match Gruden for temper. Seeing him live on the field is worth picking up a few Tampa bay Buccaneers tickets.
8) The Competition- Playing in the NFC South means the Bucs won’t have an easy road to the NFL Playoffs. The Carolina Panthers should be markedly improved, the Atlanta Falcons are operating under new Head Coach Bobby Petrino, and the New Orleans Saints narrowly missed out on their first Super Bowl appearance in 2006. All will visit Raymond James Stadium.
9) Raymond James Stadium – They shoot cannons when the Bucs score. The crowd goes into a frenzy. Enough said.
10) Tampa Bay Remembers the Super Bowl – When all is said and done, Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets have delivered a Super Bowl to the fans of the Bucs. That’s a huge advantage in the chase for another title.
 

Get your Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets and come roll with the Cadillac. Carnell Williams, Tampa Bay's top pick in 2004, lived up to his billing and made an immediate impact in his NFL debut. The Bucs rode their rookie running back to an NFC South crown and returned to the NFL playoffs. Jon Gruden's young team will be looking for more in 2006.

The Buccaneers were the last NFC team to win the Super Bowl. In Gruden's first year in Tampa, the Bucs thrashed the favored Oakland Raiders 48-21 to win Super Bowl XXXVII. The cast of characters has changed drastically from the 2003 squad. Chris Simms has taken over the reigns at quarterback. The son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, Chris Simms took over for injured starter Brian Griese early in the 2005 season. He promptly responded by going 8-5 as a starter. The former Texas Longhorn completed 61 percent of his passes and threw for more than 2,500 yards in only his third year in the NFL. Now a seasoned quarterback, Simms is poised for bigger and better things this year.

It doesn't hurt to have Williams in the backfield. A powerful, upright runner, Williams broke numerous rookie marks last season. Despite being slowed by injury and missing three games, Cadillac rushed for nearly 1,200 yards and six touchdowns. At Auburn, Williams played in the same backfield as current Miami Dolphin running back Ronnie Brown. The two rising NFL stars led the Tigers to an undefeated season in 2004. Gruden plans on riding the Cadillac all season and thinks the second-year running back is the Bucaneers' ticket back to the Super Bowl.

Perennial Pro Bowl linebacker Derrick Brooks is one of the few holdovers from the Super Bowl champion Buccaneers. The 12-year veteran just keeps going, gobbling up opposing quarterbacks along the way. He tied his season-high in sacks in 2005. He’ll be at it again this season, bolstering another tough Tampa Bay Buc defense that also features sack-machine Simeon Rice.

With a talented, but young offense, combined with a stingy, experienced defense, the Buccaneers are once again a threat to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Seats at Raymond James Stadium are always hot commodities. So pick up your Tampa Bay Buccaneers tickets and roll with the Cadillac.
