How Do the Buccaneers Stop the Broncos’ Defense?

James Yarcho

Quite simply, I don’t know if they can. Despite the loss of DeMarcus Ware, this Denver defense is still head and shoulders above the rest of the NFL.

Shane Ray filled in perfectly last week, getting three sacks while Von Miller is, well, Von Miller. You have a Bucs’ team without Doug Martin, which hurts the run game drastically given Charles Sims can’t run between the tackles. You’re missing Luke Stocker which is a much bigger loss than some fans are willing to admit. When you lose the best blocker on the team, it hurts in both facets of the offensive game plan.

Mike Evans has been one of the best receivers in football thus far, but he will be facing former Buc Aqib Talib, which is no easy task. With Vincent Jackson missing in action, that will limit the passing game to Adam Humphries and Cameron Brate.

This is a game that favors the Broncos in every match-up. We have the most potent offense arguably in team history, but against that Broncos’ defense things can turn ugly in a quick hurry.
