My thoughts exactly.

But Bowers being behind Bennett is just a precautionary deal, IMO.  He'll be the #1 come week 1/final depth chart.

Davin third is good. Maybe they see how much he sucks now.

As usual I'm upset with where they use Graham. Is he really that much better at fullback than lorig? Because he's actually a pretty solid number 2 running back but instead he's gonna get banged up playing fullback.

David third isgood. Maybe they see how much he sucks now.

Davin hasn't looked bad in the little time he's been at TC so far. I actually saw a couple clips of him driving McCoy back.

Just got word that Davin Joseph at 3rd string was a printing error. Just got updated one and Davin is the starter. from justin Pawlowski

Figured as much...

...just like it figures that people are already freaking out over the first depth chart being released.  Chill out.

[tatmanfish]

lol, theres a bunch of errors in that link. Surprised so many didnt pay any attention to them and took it as actual depth chart. lol. Its quite obvious from what the Bucs and PR has told us that its inaccurate.

[dbucfan]

Guess it is pre-season for the guys who write up the depth charts as well.

[SunnyD]

Yes, lots of errors.

Had Earnest Graham listed as a QB, Davin as a third stringer, etc.

[BucD]

It's fixed now on the site...won't let me modify my post though...

A couple of interesting notes:

Spurlock and Parker currently have the 5th and 6th spots, as we all probably assumed. Between those two, Parker may have the edge because he's ahead of Spurlock on the returns depth chart, but on the other hand Raheem mentioned potentially being able to use Spurlock at QB with that new 3rd string QB rule, so who knows. Either way, I see Webber and the others probably hitting the practice squad at least initially.

Trueblood...ugh.

Not too happy about Graham at FB still. Make him the #2 RB already.

If Tanard Jackson comes back, Ahmad Black would likely be the odd man out with Asante being ahead of him.

Gaitor ahead of Mack. Heck yes.

During Raheem's radio interview today, he said that he was very impressed with Bowers but won't just hand over the spot, he'll make him earn it. So being behind Bennett kind of makes sense, but then Foster being ahead of Mackenzie is odd...how could Foster have earned that spot yet, especially considering how close that battle has been? And with Bowers so far being extremely impressive, I would think that if either him or Foster had won a spot already it would have been Bowers.

If the FO believes in Parker and Stroughter on STs it would be nice if we could get a late pick for Spurlock

[Feel Real Good]

Since Dotson has no chance at starting at left tackle, I hope he's at least considered for right tackle depending on how he plays.
