Buccaneers’ backfield problems lie with the offensive line

Okay, so hindsight is 20/20. There’s the required disclaimer for this article. Now, think about this past offseason for the Buccaneers. General manager Jason Licht made some great moves, upgrading the receiving corps and picking up some pieces for the defense. However, nothing was done to bolster the run game. Many expected Licht to find a running back in free agency or the draft. A smaller number of people thought the offensive line needed some re-shaping. Instead, nothing was done for either group. Things haven’t exactly panned out.

Since his return from suspension, Doug Martin has been the team’s leading running back.
