Why I believe the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will win the NFC South

in #tampa7 years ago

So I am sure there will be a ton of flack for this, but just here me out. With free agency and the draft over, I feel like now is a great time to do a little prediction game. What has Tampa been missing since Jameis Winston was drafted? Blazing speed that can take the top off of the secondary and prevent defenses from stacking the box. Mike Evans is a terrific player, top 1-3 in my honest opinion. He is as sure a handed wide receiver as they come, but let's be honest, if he gets double teamed by a fast corner and a moderately sized safety, his yards after the catch truly suffer. With DeSean Jackson getting signed, Jameis now has the speed to remove the double cover from Evans, and improve his already deadly play action pass. That alone is going to prove to be deadly for opposing defenses, but wait, there's more! With the draft came two major steals for Tampa. O.J. Howard falling to pick number 19 was an egregious offense to him, but a treasure for Tampa. You don't find a 6ft 5in tall tight end that can catch and inline block. Did I forget to mention that he also runs a 4.5 in his 40 yard dash? Then, in the third round, another great draft pick in Chris Godwin. This dude has been an unstoppable beast in training camp and really should have been a 2nd round pick. The offensive juggernaut has now been assembled for Jameis and CO. It's up to him to get everything underway and I believe that he is ready to take that leap and excel at this challenge. In my next post, I will explain the defensive side of the ball, and the reasons for why the other teams in the division will lag behind.

Sort:  

no flack from me. I am a Chiefs fan so don't follow your division real closely but you are definitely a team rising. Seems pretty reasonable to expect to win that division.

I appreciate the comment. It has been too long since Tampa was considered even a good team. I look forward to seeing what Tampa and KC do this season!

how's your D?

Our D looks solid. Mike Smith is much better as a defensive coordinator than a head coach.
