Let's be the real the defense has been pathetic over the first three games of the season. Now granted the offense hasn't helped them out with 8 turnovers so far, but this defense is still allowing way too much in order for this team to win. Lack of pass rush, poor communication, and bad play calling has hurt this defense and is keeping it from being successful. Mike Smith spoke with the press today and pointed the finger at only one person and that is himself via Rick Stroud.
Mike Smith is right as he needs to be better by putting his players in better position to succeed on the field. Smith went on to say the pass rush has been "dead average" and he needs to do better in finding ways to get that going. The amount of explosive plays that are being allowed are hurting this defense from being a more consistent unit. The Bucs need to make this defense simple by playing more press man coverage, keep the safeties back, and let the front seven stop the run.#Bucs defensive coordinator 'Mike Smith: "The only guy who has to get better is Mike Smith."— Rick Stroud (@NFLSTROUD) September 29, 2016
Focus on keeping everything in front, and then attack from all angles to put pressure on the Qb. Mike Smith also said this defense needs to be more resilient as it's time to be accountable and flat out play better. I'm glad that Mike Smith is being accountable as he knows he must be better in order for this defense to be where it needs to be. Bucs defense has their hands full with the Broncos offense as they are very good and put up 28 points a game. It's time for this unit to show some fight and bring it for four quarters.
