On Monday, the day after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' 2015 season ended with a 38-10 loss at Carolina, Head Coach Lovie Smith spent most of his day-after-game press conference talking about the picture, in terms of both the 2015 and 2016 seasons. He did specifically mention one player on the team who finished his season on a high note.
"Lavonte David was outstanding yesterday, too, I might add," said Smith, "like he’s been all throughout the year."
True and true.
David tied for the team lead on Sunday with 12 tackles, while also adding a sack, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries.
