Mike Smith Praises His Buccaneers’ Defense

The Buccaneers had a lot to be excited about coming out of their week one victory, on offense and defense. We have talked about Jameis Winston and company, but let’s take a look on the other side. On defense, they sacked Matt Ryan three times and had several other pressures, and against the run they held the Falcons to 52 yards.

Pretty good I would say.

Thursday is a coordinator day around the NFL, and the Bucs followed that protocol yesterday. Defensive coordinator Mike Smith talked to the media, and had some great things to say about his defense.
