Buccaneers: Noah Spence and his budding greatness part II

Sack Number Four

This one takes place deep in Bucs territory, but that doesn’t face Noah Spence. Again he is lined up on the left side of the defense, taking on Bears right tackle Bobby Massie (70). Again, Spence’s strength and speed take over as he uses an outside speed rush to get to Jay Cutler.

At this point, it looks like Massie is in good position. He has used an effective slide step to stay with Spence to this point. He appears to be right in his way, ready to keep Cutler safe. Keep watching as that is about to change.

Spence’s step around the outside was simply too fast for Massie. Spence is already halfway past him. Now he has his hands up on Massie, rendering him off-balance and unable to keep his feet going. That essentially ends the play for Massie and ends the play for Cutler shortly thereafter. Oh, it takes some pursuit from Spence after Cutler extends the play.

Down goes Cutler. It’s these type of plays that shows the world that Noah Spence is the total package as a pass rusher. We have only begun to open the curtain on why Jason Licht coveted this young man so much.

On his fifth and final sack, not even penalties that go uncalled could stop Spence from getting to the quarterback.
