This week the Buccaneers head to Miami to make up their week one game against the Dolphins.  During the regular season, the all-time series is tied 5-5, with Tampa Bay winning four of the last five meetings.

We are hoping the Buccaneers can make it five in a row vs. the Dolphins which would give the Buccaneers back-to-back wins for the first time this season.

Coming off an ugly win against the Jets, Tampa Bay will still be lead by Ryan Fitzpatrick and might need to muster more than the paltry 187 yards in the air.  Mike Evans return should help on that front.

Mike Smith‘s defense will need to stop the young running backs of the Dolphins to have a chance and look for Brent Grimes to have a revenge game as he gets to play against the Dolphins for this first time in a Bucs uniform.

Let’s look at five players on Tampa’s roster who will help shape this weekend’s game.
