Each of the Bucs defensive backs wear gloves, but they have been as useless as catcher's mitts this season considering how rarely they have gotten their hands on the football.
In Sunday's 38-31 win, the Bucs let Jaguars quarterback Blake Bortles throw for 303 yards and a career high four touchdown passes. In fact, opposing quarterbacks are feasting on Tampa Bay's soft secondary and have a 105.7 passer rating, which ranks 29th; only the Saints, 49ers and Lions are worse.
In 33 pass attempts by Bortles, Bucs defensive backs only defensed three passes. It's not as if they're helping on the run, either.
