The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have developed a lethal rushing attack as of late. But can they keep it going?
At the beginning of the season, it seemed like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' run game would once again be dead on arrival. Plays were getting stuffed at the line, runs were going nowhere and the offensive line still appeared to struggle in that facet of the offense.The Bucs demolished their division rivals, the New Orleans Saints, 51-27 last Sunday, and in doing so, put up a monstrous rushing attack.
"Just communication," Bowles said. "I mean, the offensive line is going well, Baker getting us to the right call, the backs making some great cuts and the line doing some very good blocking."Quarterback Baker Mayfield "getting us to the right call" is another dimension of this offense that offensive coordinator Liam Coen has brought to Tampa Bay.
"I’m not really a stat guy but to really look at the numbers and see the type of run game that we had, it was impressive," Mayfield said. "It takes everybody in that group as an offense to be able to run the ball like that and so it was impressive, we have to keep it going.” But Tampa Bay is on the right track. And according to Tucker, Coen is bringing a new energy to the run game that wasn't there before.
