Tampa Bay Buccaneers – one of the most volatile team histories in the league. A 1976 expansion laughingstock that was mostly terrible for 20 years, then in the late 90's they catch a heater and go to the playoffs a bunch and win it all in 2002, then rapidly drop off into obscurity again for over a decade, then pop right back up again on another heater and get Brady and win another in 2020. There are some ancient and storied teams in the NFL that haven't even won ONE superbowl (Minnesota) and Tampa has 2. Their swings from awful to great and back and forth are certainly entertaining.
Regarding their Effectiveness Summary – this is the final NFC South team, and after the strange stats coming out of Atlanta and the Saints, maybe we're seeing a bit of a pattern here? The NFC South teams each played 6 games vs. the rest of the NFC South which was awful, so their defensive and offensive stats seem to misrepresent how bad they are, because they played a lot of bad teams (each other).
Still praying that one day Antoine Winfield jr will be a Steelers
Imagine alstott on philly now days, or even san fran. He would slay
I know this is y’all’s job to know this and I’m sure you do just as well as I do but the reason the bucs blitzed sm. It wasn’t because Bowles was stubborn (although he is), it was because our 4 man rush was so inept it made us just as, if not more vulnerable in coverage as blitzing an extra was
Bucs were 8th passing based on what metric?
“We have vita vea F you were running dime”😂😂-Brett Kollman
Saints winning the division 😂😂😂😂
“pundits aren’t stupid” If they predict a team to be bottom barrel and they win 9 games while at the same time most of their takes are way off, that means yes, they are stupid.
I think Bryce Hall gets that #2 corner spot
Spent half the video glazing Lavonte David 😂
This Training Camp is going to be fun to watch. Licht has really been good recently with the draft. Baker is the man. I love that he plays like a linebacker. He puts his head down and stiff arms linebackers and safeties. He has no fear.
As a Bucs fan I wish you broke down the coverage problems of Devin white, ryan neal and the consistent secondary issues that DROVE Todd Bowles ultra aggressive blitz rate. Brian Flores and Mike McDonald are both essentially students OF Todd bowles and Belicheck. Except they had infinitely better and more consistent safety play from the duo as a whole.
A saints hoodie really????? You are public enemy number 1
Been watching brett and ej for years. Watched bootleg from the start. Always respected your combined football knowledge and always enjoyed your vids.
I like you guys but fuck off with that sweater. It would be more respectful to this video's audience if you showed up naked.
Edited cause I think I got too mad 😵💫
That Dline during the superbowl run and the year after is why Bowles could be confident to sit back and let the dawgsss up front eat. JPP Vea Suh Barret were on fire and in snyc. I feel this year will be a close rendition of that DLine. With how good kancey and Diaby looked in the final games of the season and playoffs.
Alstott's the man. Along with Derrick Brooks, Warren Sapp, John Lynch, Ronde Barber, Lavonte David, and Mike Evans. Let's add Tristan Wirfs, Yaya Diaby, Antoine Winfield and Chris Godwin among many others too. LFG BUCS!!! Jalen McMillan is going to be a star.
And I KNOW everyone looks back with rose colored glasses but for the first HALF of there year (more or less)…the offense was TERRIBLE. I know Canales gets his roses NOW….but the Buc offense was AWFUL for the majority of the season. They came to life at the END of the season. The last 5 games or so. It's to be expected of course but let's not get out of pocket here. Lets not pretend that that offense was good. The TALENT allowed them to win games they shouldn't have. MIN in week 1 is an example. This year should be similar. They're gonna struggle early (new OC). We'll see how it goes..
I'm also unsure why y'all really think the talent level in N.O. is all that great? NON-New Orleans homers don't look at that team like y'all do. We see a mediocre QB…and TERRIBLY inconsistent. An aging RB. One FANTASTIC WR…and a bunch of "meh" after that. An aging defense that isn't what it used to be. To think that New Orleans is the "class" of the NFC South is kinda silly.
Crazy any team signs Mike evens , Tristan wirfs , and AWJ would be the darling of the off-season..unless it's the bucs . Just crazy to me something tells me you knew what you were doing when you wore that saints sweater only time you wore the opposing teams sweater is this one saints suck go bucs
Not for the disrespect for the sweatshirt I would have gave you a subscribe
Bucs had 80 million in dead cap also…You cant dismiss the blitzing by looking at statistics…I watched the games…They couldn't get any pressure with 4…They had to blitz to try and save their DB's from covering for 5 seconds and getting gassed and beaten worse. You are so misinformed…Bowles didn't lay off blitzing the year they won the SuperBowl…1 game they played that way for a specific team…They were 5th in blitz percentage in 2020…Dont get on and spout nonsense to form a narrative that isn't true…Nobody thinks Licht only won because of Brady besides talking heads and NFC south rivals…17 of 22 starters in the Bucs Super Bowl were drafted by Licht…
Canales run concepts made the interior look worse than they were, not that they were good. He did some good and some bad. I hated the rote playcalling. Our record couldve been better if not for that and defensive injuries.
