Pound the Rock

It’s Kansas City game week! The Bucs travel out to Arrowhead Stadium to face the highly touted 7-2 Chiefs. Luckily for the Bucs, the Chiefs great outside linebacker Tamba Hali will be out, but their star pass rusher is back. Justin Houston will finally make his 2016 debut this weekend, and you can bet the Bucs are already game planning for him.

In my personal opinion, the best way to deal with Houston is to utilize the run as much as possible. The Chiefs rank 27th in the league against the run and the Bucs would be wise to expose them. Now in his second week back, if Doug Martin is able to carry a heavy workload this team can push Houston out of the equation. The ground and pound offense of the Bucs needs to show up in full force this Sunday.
