Get To The Passer

Martin and McDonald are huge additions. Especially if Martin can get back to form, the Bucs offense adds a deadly weapon that will only make them better. Depth on the defensive line is always a good thing as well.

But, if the Bucs are going to get back into it, they must get to the passer. They have the ability to run off some wins, but not if they can’t get rush the quarterback. The pass defense has been bad. They added Brent Grimes and he hasn’t helped the way he was expected to. They have to help the defensive backs out, and that is done by getting to the quarterback. Noah Spence has looked better in recent weeks. Spence and company will have to get some work done to improve the second half. Martin and McDonald are not enough.
