It’s no secret, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary has been among the worst in the league over the past two seasons. The team has been picked apart through the air and defensive coordinator Mike Smith needs to find answers in 2018.
Last season, the Bucs ranked dead last in pass defense, allowing over 260 yards per game. Tampa Bay’s inability to stop the pass was the Achilles heel of the entire defensive unit in 2017.
As Pro Football Focus continues to rank units across the NFL, the Buccaneers secondary was slotted in the 31st spot.
