3 easiest games on schedule in 2019 for Tampa Bay Buccaneers
By Rob Leeds
Week Nine: Arizona Cardinals
This game is a tossup despite the fact that Arizona had the worst record in football last season. The Cardinals have brought in a new head coach with a new offensive strategy and first overall pick Kyler Murray. Murray captained an electric offense at Oklahoma and looks to bring his dual threat abilities to the NFL despite his small size.
Kyler Murray has the ability to extend plays with his legs while also being an accurate thrower of the football. His athleticism is unique to the NFL as quarterbacks have generally been larger, less mobile throwers. Kyler will have to be prepared for with great detail, but it is likely that Todd Bowles is the defensive mind necessary to keep the rookie contained.
The Buccaneers should have the capacity to trade with the Cardinals and their equally high-octane offense, and the new Bucs defense should have the ability to make some stops when it counts. Tampa Bay should have a deeper team on both sides of the ball, especially on defense. Outside of cornerback Patrick Peterson for the Cardinals, the depth on the defensive side of the ball is lacking and the Buccaneers will look to exploit that.
