Several members of the current Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense expressed the unit’s desire to live up to the standard that the legendary 2002 Buccaneers’ defense set during the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl championship run. The question is can this batch of Bucs do it?
The Buccaneers are at their best when they have a dominant defense. That isn’t exactly news since the age-old adage is that offense sells tickets and defense wins championships. It’s especially true with the Buccaneers. The Bucs don’t have the greatest history, but when they had good teams they had great defenses.
