Demar Dotson
I have said for many years that the offense revolves around the offensive line. When the offensive line plays well, everyone else looks good on the offense. When the offensive line breaks down, nothing works. With the offensive line goes the offense.
We need more out of Demar Dotson. According to Pro Football Focus, Dotson is the 25th ranked tackle in the league, and it shows in the numbers. We know that the Bucs need an effective running game to be at their best. Well, when running behind right tackle, the Bucs are averaging 2.56 yards per carry, and 2.94 yards per carry around right end, according to Football Outsiders. Doug Martin has returned from injury but has not yet been his old self, rushing at a three yards per carry clip. Donovan Smith has been better around the right side (3.81 yards per carry around left end, 2.94 yards per carry behind left tackle). They need more out of Dotson.
