Be the Bucs

What do I mean by that? Well, the Saints are ranked 27th in defense overall. They are ranked 31st in pass defense. Be the Bucs, do what the Bucs do. They will be able to move the ball against New Orleans. They haven’t had a good defense in a long time.

The only facet of the game that the Saints defend well is the rushing attack, ranked 11th. Of course a solid running game is going to help on Sunday. The Bucs may just have to get into it by using the passing game to open it up. With Charles Sims likely back in the lineup, open the defense up with some short passes and screens.

It may be a shoot out, but the Bucs can keep up.
