The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense has been the biggest culprit in recent struggles, but it appears things may not be changing any time soon.
With questions about whether or not Liam Coen would prove capable of maintaining and building on the momentum the Dave Canales Buccaneers offense built last season combined with doubts that quarterback Baker Mayfield could stack another successful season on top of 2023 infected just about any conversation had about the defending NFC South Division champions.
“What’s not happening is we have about four or five plays a game where we either miss a tackle or we’re not dropping where we’re supposed to and we give up a big play," head coach and defensive play-caller Todd Bowles responded when questioned about the struggles and whether or not he'll continue running the team's worst unit. "I’ll continue to call plays.”
Bowles was asked how he's going to change things if the personnel packages and the play-calling isn't going to. The coach has a point. There's a limited amount of players Bowles and his staff can lean on, and not an endless supply of talent to pull from week to week. Simply changing players who are struggling out for others is not always as simple as it sounds.
