One person isn’t happy with the way Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Mike Smith is using his secondary: passively. That person is Louis Riddick, a former NFL safety and former personnel executive for the Philadelphia Eagles. He’s generally one of the most insightful analysts out there.
#Bucs defense refuses to challenge receivers at the line of scrimmage & play aggressive. Becomes 7 on 7 passing drill for good offenses.

Small corners + high volume soft off man/zone coverage = 28th ranked defense in pass yds per play.
