If Cody Mauch is unavailable in Week 1, that may undoubtedly create one other enormous query for a Bucs’ offensive line with loads of them. He’s anticipated to step proper in because the starter on the place after the staff traded Shaq Mason away within the offseason, and there’s not a ton of depth after him.
Presumably, subsequent in line can be Aaron Stinnie, who re-signed with the staff within the spring. In any other case, some line shuffling could also be so as, with Nick Leverett both filling in at proper guard or shifting him to left guard for a sport and taking part in Matt Feiler, one other offseason acquisition, at proper guard.
Irrespective of the way you slice it, it’s not good if Mauch – somebody the Bucs assume extremely of for his potential inside Dave Canales’ offensive scheme – is out on Sunday. For an offense inserting a heavy emphasis on operating the soccer, Mauch is seen as a key ingredient in getting in area and mauling opposing defenders. It is going to be attention-grabbing to see his degree of participation in follow tomorrow.
