The Buccaneers just signed DE Marques Douglas from San Francisco. Douglas is a good player, not a great one. His obvious talent is stopping the run, as is evidenced by his 250 career tackles against 19 sacks in nine years with three teams. Ok, fine, good pick-up for the Bucs. Here's the interesting part.

Douglas said he will be the starting left end on first and second downs, and he will move inside to defensive tackle on passing downs with the Buccaneers.

I hope this is just wishful thinking on Douglas's part and not something the Buccaneers promised him. With their current stable of defensive ends, I don't know how you don't start Greg White and Gaines Adams. Again, for the billionth time, the strategy this offseason was to get better at the pass rush; to get to the quarterback more. You don't do that with a run-stopper playing defensive end. I can see Douglas challenging Jovan Haye for under tackle and working into the rotation with Jimmy Wilkerson to relieve the starters at DE. But he thinks he's going to be an every-down player? I'd really like to know what Bruce Allen told this guy before he signed him.
