The Buccaneers defense from a health perspective is a total mess. The team has been without top pass rusher Jason Pierre-Paul, top linebacker Lavonte David, last years first round pick Vita Vea and arguably the most athletic safety on the roster, Justin Evans. Four key players who have yet to suit up yet... it hasn’t made a bit of a difference overall.
Todd Bowles was brought in to change the culture on defense and it began with a scheme change. Part of that scheme change is a mentality change all around.
