Buccaneers | Doug Martin likely feature back

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 01:26:52 -0700

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie RB Doug Martin, one of the team's first-round selections, is likely to be the team's feature running back in his first season. Martin is an all-around back with two 1,000-yard seasons under his belt. He also caught 28 passes each of the past two seasons.

Running backs are rarely taken in the first round to ride the pine, so Martin is likely to immediately leap past RB LeGarrette Blount on the team's depth chart. Bucs head coach Greg Schiano has sent out hints that the team wants to run the ball and has implied Blount's pass protection and fumbles could be liabilities for the team.

Tampa Bay gave up second- and fourth-round selections to trade back into the first round to acquire Martin at 31st overall.

Buccaneers | LeGarrette Blount on notice

Wed, 28 Mar 2012 09:52:30 -0700

Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Greg Schiano has told RB LeGarrette Blount that he must do a better job of protecting the ball, or he will not play. "I think LeGarrette has tons of ability," Schiano said. "No one who touches the football will get touches if they don't protect the football. That is one of our core covenants - the ball. It's so important they named the game after it. We make a big deal about it." Blount rushed for 781 yards and five touchdowns last season but fumbled five times and lost three of them.

Buccaneers | LeGarrette Blount needs to prove himself

Fri, 02 Mar 2012 11:24:35 -0800

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB LeGarrette Blount won't have a lot of time to prove himself to the team's new coaching staff before the NFL Draft. Due to new league rules, the Buccaneers cannot begin their workout program until April 2. As a result, Blount will have less than a month to show the team's new coaching staff that he is capable of being trusted as a blocker and a receiver, allowing him to earn regular snaps on third down. In his first two seasons, Blount was not able to do enough to earn that role. There is speculation the Buccaneers could use their fifth pick on RB Trent Richardson (Alabama).
