What can the New York Giants defense expect when they face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by Baker Mayfield?
The New York Giants are coming off of a bye week to face one of the top offenses in the NFL this week in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What kind of challenges does a Baker Mayfield led Bucs offense pose?I don’t know if there’s a quarterback in the NFL right now who’s outperformed expectations the way that Mayfield has with the Bucs.
Sterling Shepard and Trey Palmer have been the Bucs’ main receivers in recent weeks since the Bucs are also without Chris Godwin, who will miss the rest of the season. Running backs Rachaad White and Bucky Irving have been impact players this season as pass-catchers out of the backfield. If he can’t play, Justin Skule, who filled in for him against the 49ers, will likely start in his place.
Offensive coordinator Liam Coen was originally from the college ranks. He spent some time with the Los Angeles Rams, where he briefly worked with Mayfield, before going back to college and eventually ending up with the Bucs. With the Rams, Coen picked up mixing zone runs with duo and has added that to the repertoire, giving the Bucs one of the more versatile run schemes in the NFL.
