Scout's Eye: Buccaneers' Core Of Young Talent Is Maturing Rapidly

IRVING, Texas – Games like this are perfect example how quickly things can change in the NFL.

It’s only been three years since these two teams squared off – a 16-10 Dallas win. Considering how different the rosters look, though, that might as well have been a decade ago. Josh Freeman was the Bucs’ quarterback in that game, and DeMarco Murray scored the Cowboys’ only touchdown.

Looking at this week’s highlighted opponents further demonstrates that. Of the three, only one – Lavonte David – was even on the Tampa Bay roster. As a rookie, he recorded five tackles.
