If you’ve watched Tampa Bay’s wins this year, you’ll notice a common thread: the offensive line has generally performed very well.
That proved especially true Sunday against the Miami Dolphins, as the Bucs’ starting 5 completely neutralized any pass rush and allowed Tom Brady to dissect Miami’s defense to the tune of 400 yards and 5 touchdown passes. The GOAT faced only 9 pressures all game, a season low.
The interior line of Ali Marpet, Ryan Jensen and Alex Cappa have allowed just two combined sacks in five games thus far, and their run blocking has improved in the last two games as well after struggling to generate consistent push in the first month of the season.
