The last time the Tampa Bay Buccaneers played the Minnesota Vikings, it was not in Minnesota, but right here in Tampa Bay. Considering the game was only 3 years ago, it really shows how much of a change this team has made since the last year of the Jon Gruden/SuperBowl era Bucs. This first video is of the pregame introduction, and includes the starting players introduction. Look at how many players are still on the team!
On defense, as many players are starting on the Bucs defense from 3 years ago as are starting on the Bucs from 13 years ago! 1- Ronde Barber! On offense, there are a bit more, most notably on the offensive line where the Bucs are starting the same 4 players on Sunday than against the Vikings 3 years ago; Donald Penn, Jeff Faine, Davin Joeseph, and Jeremy Trueblood. Earnest Graham is also on the team. Perhaps its no doubt the Bucs offense is doing better than the defense.

For the second clip, later in the game Derrick Brooks made a spectacular play covering Adrian Peterson out of the backfield on 4th and 1 late in the 3rd Quarter. Brooks was in his last year, and maybe not as fast as he used to be, but Brooks was smarter, and studied harder. He once said in his Derrick Brooks show that he studied players in College to learn their traits before making it to the pros. One of those players was Peterson. Watch as Brooks perfectly times his pass defense.
