@the-freeman - I think this is a pretty realistic breakdown. I’m surprised with how much I see Kancey playing A gap NT on film and having success with his get-off. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Bowles give Olines different looks by throwing him inside some and moving Vita to under tackle especially in 4 down linemen nickel.
- Kancey, we should see the usual 4-5 men's rotation on the Dline with Vea only playing 55-65% of the snaps every year (NT/3-tech), Gaines(NT), Kancey(3/4i/5-tech) and Hall(3/4i/5-tech)... Licht's probably looking to sign a cheap FA for the 5th men (Gholston?), unless Bowles really likes Senat!?
- Mauch, week 1 starting (Left) Guard! (looks like we're moving Wirfs at LT, Goedeke at RT and Hainsey at RG)
- Diaby/Ramirez, backup/ST... fighting with Gill for the 4th & 5th spots, but may play a bigger role the first weeks of the season (depending on Shaq's return date)!
- Dennis, backup/ST... LVD and Devin never leave the field! if Dennis shines during the preseason, Britt should be a ps candidate. (Gilbert's a better ST player!)
- Durham, backup... may receive 5-6 snaps per game in the Red Zone, Bowles probably wants the good run-blocker on the field!
- Hayes, need to shine on ST or could be a ps candidate... Licht needs to sign a vet nickel back! (Troy Hill? Bryce Callahan? P.J. Williams? Logan Ryan?)
- Trey Palmer, is he a new Scotty Miller/Tyler Johnson or the next Jaelon Darden/Justin Watson/Kenny Bell? now we have a young group of receivers fighting for the last 3-4 spots (including the KR/PR jobs)!
Don't forget that Palmer is a return specialist.
Hayes can play safety as well as nickle and he will have to prove his worth on special teams. Honestly I can't think of many of these players being inactive on gamedays as far as I see so far based on the current roster.

Diaby does a lot of work in the inside during passing downs as well so there is scheme versatility with the players the Bucs drafted. Expect to see some NASCAR packages on third downs mixing up these players to cause confusion against OL blocking assignments.
Mauch will start , along side
Witfs ,Hainsey ,Jensen, Mauch and Goedeke
Diaby will see plenty of snaps , he is a older prospect with a bunch of moves to get to the QB
Dennis is more about next year , STs this year
Duraham will split snaps with Otten when they both are t in field together .
Goedeke and Jensen being handed starting jobs while Leverett was dropping bodies last year is disrespectful.
