O-line Has Been The Best Unit

This unit was the biggest weakness two years ago and now the Bucs offensive line is probably their strongest unit on the team. The line has been pretty good so far in 2016 as Donovan Smith and Ali Marpet are becoming better and better with each passing game. The line is really athletic and physical which allows them to open up the screen game very well. The group was better this past week in the run game and should get better as the season goes once the run game finds its rhythm.

The pass protection has been phenomenal though as they have only allowed 5 sacks against 142 pass attempts. This group doesn't get the credit it deserves and really does a great job as an unit. They give a good pocket for Jameis to throw and he usually has enough time. This last week against the Rams front four I thought they did very well and pretty much dominated throughout the game. Donovan Smith, Kevin Pamphile and Ali Marpet are looking to be cornerstones for this line and are just getting better. Bucs Gm Jason Licht has invested into this unit and so far it has paid off as the unit looks to be a strength for the foreseeable future. Coach Koetter needs to ride this line by keeping this offense more balanced and let them be physical by running the ball.
