The Bucs officially signed DT Tony McDaniel on Tuesday. At $2.5 million for one year, it’s a logical, low-risk contract that will provide depth on the interior defensive line. Akeem Spence may miss significant time so adding another quality player is not a bad idea. So now with plenty of depth at DT and good play from the LBs during camp, the Bucs figure to be strong against the run yet again. What is worrying me is the team’s pass defense.
It’s a similar story to what we’ve seen the past several seasons. Last year the defense was 19th in the league against the run but 28th against the pass.
