The Buccaneer defense as a whole was abysmal in 2019 with games that were won basically being a shootout. The secondary was bare bones and riddled with injuries but that was not an excuse enough for the ease with which opposing teams were able to carve up the field through the air. Sean Murphy-Bunting is looking to right the ship this year as a starter on this new and improved defense.
On a team that is going through some pretty dramatic changes defensively, Murphy-Bunting is in a great spot for the 2019 season. SMB is coming in as the likely CB1 for his first year although the competition to be the starter will be fierce amongst a number of players.
