Koetter: Demar Dotson will start at right tackle, competition at center

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will start Demar Dotson at right tackle this year, or that is at least the plan going into training camp, Dirk Koetter told the media in Boca Raton today -- via Roy Cummings. Gosder Cherilus will be the swing backup tackle, with Kevin Pamphile the other backup lineman. Pamphile can play all across the offensive line, though Koetter also said that Pamphile would be expected to compete with J.R. Sweezy at left guard (via Rick Stroud). Koetter also noted that Joe Hawley and Evan Smith will compete for the starting job at center, via Scott Smith.
