The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had a pretty disappointing start to the season. At 2-3 and with poor performances in the majority of their games, they’re wasting what should have been their breakout season.
So what could the Bucs have done differently this offseason to prevent that? Should they have invested even more in the offense, or added better defensive talent? I tend toward the latter—there’s a long list of holes on defense right now, and the Bucs failed to do much to address them.
Number one on that list has to be pass-rusher. Noah Spence is slowly turning into an impressive player and Robert Ayers has his moments, but the Bucs still lack an impactful edge presence.
