Hopes were high, just to have them come crashing down for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after they were beat in a divisional matchup against the New Orleans Saints. In a 31-24 defeat at the hands of the Saints, the Buccaneers’ defense surrendered 314 yards and four touchdowns through the air to backup quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.
Exposed, the secondary looked raw, outclassed, and undisciplined; the Buccaneers have nobody to blame but themselves as the current secondary consists of numerous players taken in rounds one through three. To make things a bit sweeter for the Bucs is that their current best player in their secondary is a fourth round gem in safety Jordan Whitehead.
