From 2021 to 2022 a lot changed for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Most notably the overall team success diminished greatly. 2021’s Buccaneers stacked 13 wins, last year Tampa came in well under expectations with just 8 wins. Speculatively, there’s multiple reasons for the team’s dip in victories. An undeniable factor was the depletion and subsequently poor performance of the Bucs offensive line.
2022 offensive line woes:
—Multi-year starter, Alex Cappa, was lost to the Cincinnati Bengals in free agency.
—Star center and true cornerstone, Ryan Jensen, suffered a major knee injury before the team ever lined up to play a game.
