Don't Fall Prey To The Pass Rush Hype

Jacqueis Smith and Howard Jones have laid down a few numbers that have the desperate Buccaneer faithful reaching.

Simeon Rice left in 2006 and took with him the pass rush. Unheralded as he was, he put up greater sack numbers than any non Hall of Fame player that Tampa has ever had. The team is still desperate to find a man who can come off the edge that's in the same league as Rice. Even after finding the next Sapp in Gerald McCoy, pressure has been intermittent at best.

Jacquies Smith lead the league in sacks as of week two, and Howard Johnson got two sacks in his first NFL game- one on his very first play.
