Bucs bench rookie G Luke Goedeke during Panthers game

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are switching gears at left guard after the rookie’s early-season struggles

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are trying something different at left guard, benching rookie Luke Goedeke in the first half of Sunday’s game against the Carolina Panthers.

Nick Leverett has replaced Goedeke, giving the Bucs a little more experience at the left guard spot.

A second-round pick out of Central Michigan, Goedeke played right tackle in college, but earned the starting left guard job during training camp after the surprising retirement of Pro Bowler Ali Marpet.
