BUCCANEERS 101

Last week, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had to insert Demar Dotson into the starting lineup at right tackle in place of the Jeremy Trueblood, who was nursing an ankle injury.

Either Dotson played extremely well in the eyes of his coaches or Trueblood is still too injuried to play, because the Bucs announced to today on their new blog that the change at right tackle appears to be permanent, at least for now.

That's right, Trueblood has been benched and Dotson is the Bucs' new starting right tackle.

This news is not really surprising to Buccaneers101.com. On the eve of training camp, the Bucs approached Trueblood and told him to take a $1 million pay cut or be cut.

That and the fact that he was just leapfrogged over by Dotson doesn't bode well for Trueblood, who will be a free agent after this season.

Trueblood is a former second-round pick and has started 83 games for the Bucs since joining the team in 2006.
