Every team needs a dominant edge pass rusher if they want their shot at that big trophy at the end of the season and the Buccaneers are no different. Despite the flashes of brilliance last year, they still haven’t produced a double-digit sack performance since Simeon Rice in 2005. Last year, the Falcons sported Vic Beasley who posted 15.5 sacks. Von Miller posted 11 for the Broncos in their title year of 2015, and has posted as many as 18.5 in a season.
Clearly it is important to have a strong pass rush off of the edge.
