We continue our series, taking a look at each opponent on the Atlanta Falcons’ schedule in 2015. We move onto the Falcons’ divisional rival, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

You can find the other interviews here:

• Philadelphia Eagles: Interview with Inside The Iggles editor Anthony DiBona
• New York Giants: Interview with GMEN HQ editor Chris Schissler
• Dallas Cowboys: Interview with The Landry Hat editor Steve Mullenax
• Houston Texans: Interview with Toro Times editor Randy Gurzi
• Indianapolis Colts: Interview with Horseshoe Heroes editor Evan Reller

We are very fortunate on the FanSided network to be joined with great team sites for every other NFL franchise, which gives us the opportunity to speak with writers for each Falcons’ opponent. I spoke with Jesse Uruchima, a staff writer at The Pewter Plank. Uruchima gives us great insight into the Buccaneers’ offseason, as well as his take on the two games.

Just how good will the Bucs be in 2015?

They have the pieces on paper to be strong, with the addition of quarterback Jameis Winston. Winston was selected with the first overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft and will face a lot of expectation right off the bat.

Can Winston turn the Bucs into playoff contenders? Eventually maybe, or could he do it in his first year?

Andrew Luck did just that in Indianapolis. Maybe Winston will make the unpredictable NFC South a four-horse race.
