One of the most surprising parts of the Buccaneers 2016 season has been the script flip from before the season. In the hot, sweaty months of July and August all the chatter surrounding the Bucs was in regards to their offense. Dirk Koetter’s system was headed into year two with Jameis Winston, Mike Evans, and Doug Martin set to lead the charge behind what was expected to be a solid offensive line.
The defense on the other hand was coming off of a horrific 2015 campaign and had to learn new defensive coordinator Mike Smith‘s scheme.
