Especially recently, the Buccaneers’ identity has been based on throwing the football rather than rushing.
Other than Doug Martin and LeGarrette Blount, there have been very few Bucs running backs of note during the past decade, and those two only accounted for three above-average seasons during that time.
Unfortunately, this has been the case in Tampa Bay for some time now. The massive dependence on throwing the ball has often made running the football an afterthought in the game plan.
What makes matters worse is the abysmal defense that the Buccaneers have fielded since the massive success during the 2000s.
