Tampa Bay Buccaneers: 3 Burning questions entering training camp
By Cory Kinnan
1. Who will play right guard?
After a tumultuous performance at right guard a year ago from Caleb Benenoch, the new coaching staff as moved him to right tackle, where he is expected to compete for a back-up swingman role. The Buccaneers decided not to address the position during the heart of free agency or through the draft, putting their trust into last year’s third rounder Alex Cappa to take over the role.

Apparently, things are not going as planned for the Buccaneers and Cappa as he may not be developing as quickly as the coaching staff would like him to. This offseason, the Buccaneers did sign a lineman who was drafted by Arians in Arizona and has since become a journeyman player in Earl Watford.
Watford will have a chance to win the job, as well as recent addition to the room Josh LeRibeus. Will it be Watford, LeRibeus, Cappa? Will the Buccaneers look to make another move and bring someone else in at the position?
After a terrible 2018 on the ground, the Buccaneers have to establish a potent rushing attack this year. Failing to properly address the right guard position to this point is not a promising start, and a question the team must answer during camp.
