FAB 1. Bucs Need “Dominant Donnie” Again

Bucs quarterback Tom Brady called out his teammates for an embarrassing lack of effort on this week’s Let’s Go! Podcast. He didn’t mention any names, but after watching the film of Tampa Bay’s 16-13 come-from-behind victory against the Los Angeles Rams, Brady could have been talking about left tackle Donovan Smith – among others.

Smith played his worst game of the year on Sunday – largely due to a lack of effort.

The 29-year old left tackle is better than this, and needs to regain his form from a year ago when Smith easily had his best season in the NFL. Smith was “Dominant Donnie” in 2021, allowing just four sacks and committing only eight penalties. In the first nine games of the 2022 season, he has already allowed four sacks and committed five penalties. At this pace, he’ll wind up allowing eight sacks and 10 penalties for the year.

Three of the five sacks he’s allowed this year have come in the last four games when the Bucs have gone 1-3. And all five of Smith’s penalties have come in the last three games, including two versus the Rams.

Smith gave up a fourth down sack to Aaron Donald to kill a drive, committed a season-high two penalties and was lackadaisical at times as a run blocker, notably on third-and-goal from the 2-yard line. Let’s take a look at some of the game film.

On the third-and-goal play from the Rams’ 2-yard line in the first quarter, Smith just throws a shoulder into Rams defensive lineman A’Shawn Robinson, who slides right off the half-hearted block attempt and easily makes the tackle of Leonard Fournette for a 1-yard gain.

The Bucs were forced to kick a field goal on the next play as their red zone woes continued. Look at the frustration by Brady in the clip above.

Pro Football Focus is not the definitive source for offensive linemen evaluation, but they do a decent job. PFF gave Smith a season-low 53.4 overall grade against the Rams. Smith earned a 71.7 grade in pass protection in the game, but a season-low 30.2 grade in run blocking – largely due to plays like the one above.

Part of the reason why the Bucs have struggled to run the ball this year is not just having a new center in Robert Hainsey in the lineup or a rookie at left guard in Luke Goedeke. It’s been Smith, an eight-year veteran, not playing up to his ability.

Here’s another play where Smith’s lackluster effort didn’t help the offense. The Bucs attempt a middle screen to Fournette and Smith gets a clean release off the line of scrimmage without having to navigate around a defender. He’s got a clear shot at a Rams linebacker, but instead of charging right at him and pancaking him at the 5-yard line as he’s capable of, Smith shuffles towards him and then leans on his shoulder in another failed block attempt.

Giphy Downsized Large

Here’s another run blocking play where Smith has a fairly easy block on Rams inside linebacker Bobby Wagner, but sloppily grabs a hold of him and essentially tackles him to the ground. That draws a blatant holding penalty – one of two penalties Smith had on the day. Instead of a 6-yard gain, it’s a 10-yard penalty.

Giphy

To be honest, Smith has never been a dominant run blocker. He’s had his bright spots in the run game and in the screen game at times, but the Bucs have really leaned on him for his pass protection, which has been well above average over the years.

Smith has five straight games with at least a 71.7 grade (Rams game) in pass pro with a high of 78.1 (Steelers) since Week 5. But Smith’s run blocking grade, which was 83.3 vs. the Cowboys and 76.1 vs. the Chiefs, has been atrocious since Week 5. His PFF run grades are listed below.

Week 5 vs. Atlanta: 46.2
Week 6 at Pittsburgh: 57.1
Week 7 at Panthers: 49.3
Week 8 vs. Ravens: 43.2
Week 9 vs. Rams: 30.2

Smith has a season-long PFF run block grade of 49.3 compared to a 72.6 pass block grade in 2022. Why Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich has decided to run to the left so much behind Smith, who has been lousy in the run game, and rookie Luke Goedeke, one of the worst guards in the NFL, is beyond reason.

To be fair, Smith has been dealing with a hyper-extended right elbow that he suffered in the season-opening win at Dallas. That injury caused him to miss two and a half games. Smith also is having to adjust to playing with a new left guard, as his best friend and team captain, Pro Bowler Ali Marpet, retired this offseason.

But it’s not Smith’s arm that is the problem. It’s his footwork, which can get lazy at times – even in pass protection – and his effort.

Here are the three sacks Smith has given up over the last month of football, beginning with a big one on Rams All-Pro defensive tackle Aaron Donald on fourth down last Sunday.

Giphy

Donald just bull rushes Smith, puts him on skates and drives him right back into Brady’s lap. Smith never got set, nor did he ever adjust and anchor during Donald’s rush.

Here is the sack that Smith gave up to Pittsburgh edge rusher Alex Highsmith, who also forced a fumble.

Giphy Downsized Large

Seeing that Highsmith was lined up wide, Smith was too wary about giving up an inside rush and didn’t respect Highsmith’s speed off the edge. Highsmith dipped and ripped under Smith, whose footwork was too slow to mirror the Steelers defender.

Here’s the sack that Smith surrendered to Carolina’s Brian Burns.

Giphy

Burns begins with an outside rush that forces Smith to over set. Smith was off balance from the start and by the time Burns hesitated and then charged inside, the left tackle wasn’t in good position to recover.

When Jameis Winston was the quarterback, Smith had a bad habit of taking an occasional play off or coasting on a play, and that would come back to bite the Bucs when those lapses in concentration led to sacks and sack-fumbles. It seemed like Brady’s arrival got Smith to focus and eliminate those plays for the better part of two years. But the way Smith has played so far this year has been reminiscent of those plays in the past.

Smith needs to return to his old form. Going up against Seattle’s leading sacker Uchenna Nwosu, who has seven sacks on the season, this week would be the perfect time to become “Dominant Donnie” again. Smith played his best football in helping the Bucs to a franchise-best 13-4 record last year. And that trend of dominant play actually began after the bye week back in 2020 when Tampa Bay went on an 8-0 run, including a 4-0 mark in the postseason, to win Super Bowl LV.

Bucs Lt Donovan Smith

In the final eight games of the 2020 season, Smith had just two of his 11 penalties that year, and he only surrendered one of his six sacks down the stretch. Smith gave up 39 pressures in 2020, but only six came in the final eight games.

That is how Smith is capable of playing.

Leading up to this week’s Seahawks game, I asked Bucs head coach Todd Bowles to assess Smith’s play this season.

“I don’t think any of us are playing at the level we want everybody to play [at] or we’d be undefeated,” Bowles said. “He’s got work to do, just like everybody else. It’s easy to sit up here and point out what he gave up, but we don’t point out what he did well – he does a lot of things well. He’s our left tackle, we like him. We understand we can’t have holding calls and we never want to give up sacks, but it happens here and there. We just need it to happen less frequently.”

To Smith’s credit, he owned up to not playing his best football this season and held himself accountable when I asked him about his play so far.

“It’s been alright, but it needs to be better, obviously,” Smith said. “That’s all I have to say on it. It’s definitely something that we’re working at continuously. Yeah, I’m going to be better.”

I believe him.

Smith has shown in the past that he can turn it on and play more consistent football – having done so in the second half of the 2020 season. And he did that for most of the 2021 campaign, where he posted a career-best 83.3 overall PFF grade, with a 70 run grade and an 84.7 pass protection grade.

“I feel like everybody could give more effort,” Smith said. “In that case, we would be winning more for sure.”

If Smith’s effort level picks up this week, he could keep Nwosu at bay and the Bucs might be able to run for more yards and get a much-needed win to help turn around their season before the bye week.

FAB 2. Nice Guy Otton Flips The Switch

Bucs rookie tight end Cade Otton is coming off a career game against the Rams in which he caught five passes for a team-high 68 yards and the game-winning, 1-yard touchdown. Otton had the longest reception in the game for Tampa Bay, a 28-yarder, just two weeks after having a 35-yard catch-and-run at Carolina.

But Otton’s first NFL touchdown was made even more memorable due to the fact it came in dramatic fashion with just nine seconds left to lift the Bucs to a 16-13 win.

Bucs Te Cade Otton

“You think about it happening, but you really don’t know what it’s going to be like until it does,” Otton said of his first career touchdown. “For the most part, I’m just thrilled about the win. Obviously it’s cool to get your first touchdown, but I’m just so happy for our win and for the team.”

Otton’s teammates have seen the rookie’s rise over the last couple of games as his confidence grows with more experience. The fourth-round pick has seen an increased workload with veteran Cam Brate out with a neck injury after he suffered a concussion earlier in the season.

“This kid’s got it,” said Bucs backup quarterback Blaine Gabbert of Otton after Sunday’s win over Los Angeles. “He’s going to be really good. He’s doing great job for us.”

Bucs left tackle Donovan Smith, who often lines up next to Otton at the line of scrimmage, has been impressed with the rookie.

“He’s definitely next up for us, as you can see,” Smith said. “He’s smart, he’s physical, he’s tough. He can run and he can catch. He can do it all. To have him on our side is huge.”

In just a few short weeks, Otton has gone from primarily being a blocking tight end to a more involved piece of the offense as he builds a rapport with quarterback Tom Brady. Otton’s coming out party was a six-catch, 43-yard game against Atlanta in Week 5. The rookie was targeted a season-high seven times in the 21-15 win over the Falcons.

Bucs Te Cade Otton

But it was the following week at Pittsburgh when Otton made a diving, 17-yard catch with a linebacker draped all over him where he really began to earn more trust from Brady.

“Absolutely, because doing it in practice is one thing – you build confidence in practice,” Otton said. “But to be able to do it in a game – you just want to build on that each week. That was a huge catch for me.”

While he’ll never be Rob Gronkowski, Otton is growing into a role where he’s becoming more of a vertical threat down the stretch of the season for the Bucs. Brady has been very pleased with his progress.

“He’s done a good job,” Brady said. “Works hard in practice. Football means a lot to him. He’s off to a good start in his career. He’s a hard-working kid, shows up every day, tries to do the right thing, is really prepared. We all have a lot of confidence in him.”

Otton’s love of football has been well documented since the Bucs drafted him out of Washington. His father and grandfather coached high school football in the state of Washington. While Otton is a smiling, mild-mannered guy off the field, he said that a switch flips for him when he steps on the gridiron. For years, Otton has donned warpaint under his eyes to help him get ready for his battles in the trenches.

“It just kind of gets you going because on game day it’s a little different,” Otton said. “It’s a game face sort of thing. I’m a little different during the game, especially in one-on-one situations. It’s either you or me that’s going to win this rep. You have to have a little bit of an edge to you – to have the mindset to get that done. There definitely is a switch that flips for me – from just talking to you here and when a guy lines up across from me.”

Bucs Te Cade Otton

While Otton is making a name for himself as a receiving tight end with 23 catches for 246 yards and a touchdown this season, he plays a big role as an in-line blocker. Otton has good size at 6-foot-5, 247 pounds, and will probably be close to 255 pounds by next season after a full offseason in the Bucs weight room. But it’s his tenacity and physicality as a blocker that appealed to the Bucs in the pre-draft process.

Otton said that came from playing on defense throughout his youth.

“I’ve loved playing football for a long, long time and I remember in third grade it clicking for me,” Otton said. “That’s when I wanted to impose my will on other people. I loved to run down on kickoff and make tackles. Middle linebacker was my main position through high school. I committed to U-Dub (Washington) as a linebacker and then before my freshman year, I moved to tight end and started contributing there.”

Now, Otton is contributing big time at tight end for the Bucs during his first NFL season – warpaint and all.

FAB 3. Matchups To Watch: Bucs Offense vs. Seahawks Defense

Each week, you can find five matchups to watch on offense and defense in my SR’s Fab 5 column. Here are the five key matchups to watch on offense when the Bucs take on the Seahawks in Germany on Sunday.

LT Donovan Smith vs. OLB Uchenna Nwosu

Nwosu has been a breakout star for Seattle this year. The 2018 second-round pick leads the Seahawks with a career-high seven sacks halfway through the season. His previous personal best was five sacks, which he’s put up three times in his career, including last season. Nwosu wins with effort and intensity. His undersized, 6-foot-2, 251-pound build allows him to get under the pads of bigger left tackles and win the corner with ideal leverage.

Smith’s play is in the crosshairs, as he’s not played well over the last month of the season. While he’s been better in pass protection than he has in the run game, Smith needs to play without any lapses in concentration when Tom Brady drops back. Smith has surrendered three sacks in the last four games and can’t afford to let Nwosu create a momentum-changing play from Brady’s blind side.
ADVANTAGE: Push

WR Mike Evans vs. CB Tariq Woolen

Bucs Wrs Mike Evans

Woolen, a fifth-round pick this year, leads all rookies with four interceptions this season, including a pick-six. He has yet to allow more than 54 receiving yards in any game and has only surrendered two touchdowns. Woolen has impressive size at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds, and was one of the fastest cornerbacks in the draft, timing under 4.3 in the 40-yard dash. The UTSA product has the length and the swagger necessary to match up against a Pro Bowler like Evans.

Evans is having a good, but not a great year. He has four drops on the season, including two last week against the Rams. He only has three touchdowns on the year, and none in the past five games. Evans had a chance to score at Carolina in Week 7, but dropped a wide open TD. The Bucs need Evans to have better focus and catch the ball more consistently down the stretch. Tampa Bay will move him around, but when he’s playing the split end position on the left side of the field, he will draw the talented rookie in coverage.
ADVANTAGE: Push

RB Leonard Fournette vs. ILB Jordyn Brooks

Brooks has played second fiddle to Bobby Wagner for the last couple of years in Seattle. But Wagner’s departure has allowed Brooks to shine this year. He’s leading Seattle in tackles with 90. The next closest Seahawks defender is fellow inside linebacker Cody Barton, who has 62. Brooks had a career-high 184 tackles last year and is a key component to shutting down opponents’ running games. The 6-foot-1, 245-pound Brooks is stout at the point of attack.

Fournette – or rookie Rachaad White – will need to hit the hole with authority in the Bucs’ between-the-tackle duo run scheme. Fournette has seen his playing time and carries diminish over the last couple of games as he’s struggled to be productive. The best thing Fournette can do is run with a purpose and a nasty demeanor. If he starts the game off with a few big runs, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich might be inclined to continue with the hot hand. That means running through Brooks and making him miss.
ADVANTAGE: Brooks

TE Cade Otton vs. FS Quandre Diggs

Bucs Te Cade Otton

Bucs TE Cade Otton – Photo by: Cliff Welch/PR

Diggs has plenty of NFL experience as he’s in his eighth year in league. He’s a savvy veteran who roams the middle of the field as Seattle’s free safety. Diggs has 19 career interceptions, including a pair of five-INT seasons in back-to-back years in 2020-21. But he hasn’t picked off a pass this year and he’s due. Diggs will be responsible for the Bucs’ weapons that roam the seam, including slot receiver Chris Godwin and Otton, the rookie tight end who won the game against the Rams last week.

The arrow is pointing up for Otton, who had a five catches for a career-high 68 yards in last week’s win over the Rams, including the 1-yard game-winning touchdown. At 6-foot-5, 247 yards, Otton has the size to win this matchup down the seam, playing against the 5-foot-9, 200-pound Diggs. Tampa Bay’s fourth-round pick leads all rookie tight ends in catches (23) and receiving yards (246) this season and will be an integral part of the passing attack moving forward.
ADVANTAGE: Otton

C Robert Hainsey vs. NT Al Woods

Woods is a massive man at 6-foot-4, 330 pounds. At age 35, he’s slowing down some, but still knows all of the tricks of the trade. Woods is the centerpiece of Seattle’s 3-4 defense and the plugger in the run game. While he excels as a run defender, Woods can still collapse the pocket and rush the passer. He already has two sacks this season, which ties his career high.

Hainsey is not the biggest center, nor is he the strongest. But he spent all of training camp battling 6-foot-4, 350-pound Vita Vea and Akiem Hicks, who is similar-sized. He won’t be intimated by Woods’ size, but he will need help from either right guard Shaq Mason or left guard Nick Leverett on occasion in the running game and in pass protection. Hainsey wins with technique and a quick first step off the snap. He’ll need to be on top of his game to move Woods off the line of scrimmage.
ADVANTAGE: Woods

FAB 4. Matchups To Watch: Bucs Defense vs. Seahawks Offense

Each week, you can find five matchups to watch on offense and defense in my SR’s Fab 5 column. Here are the five key matchups to watch on defense for the Bucs as they try to win back-to-back games for the first time since Weeks 1-2 by beating the Seahawks in Germany.

ILB Devin White vs. QB Geno Smith

The 32-year old Smith is having a career resurgence in Seattle under Pete Carroll. He’s putting up Pro Bowl-worthy numbers with 15 touchdowns and just four interceptions while completing an impressive 73.1% of his passes. Smith is avoiding turnovers and making plays, and he’s getting Seattle into the right plays due to his experience. Not only will Smith battle White in the pre-snap chess matchup, but he also averages 4.8 yards per carry and is a dangerous scrambler.

After a tumultuous week weathering some criticism from Warren Sapp and Pewter Report, White responded with a great game against the Rams. He didn’t make many mental errors and played under control. White will need to do that and make some splash plays this week against Smith and the 6-3 Seahawks, who will be the toughest team the Bucs will have faced since Kansas City in Week 4. White has not recorded a takeaway or a sack since Week 2 against New Orleans. He’s past due for a big play or two.
ADVANTAGE: Smith

ILB Lavonte David vs. Kenneth Walker III

Bucs Lb Lavonte David

Walker leads all rookies in rushing with 570 yards rushing and seven touchdowns. He’s averaging 5.1 yards per carry and is taking on more of the workload now that Rashaad Penny is out with an injury. Seattle loves to run the football, and Walker is a fast, physical downhill back who is adept at breaking tackles. He already has a pair of runs longer than 60 yards, so he’s capable of making a game-changing play at any moment. Walker is not experienced in the passing game, so he’s kind of a one-dimensional threat for the Seahawks.

David is the Bucs’ best coverage linebacker, but he is also a force in run defense. His 63 tackles are second to White’s team-leading 67 stops this year. Where David will come into play is filling the cutback lanes when Seattle runs right and Walker cuts it back on zone runs. The Seahawks also like to run behind left guard Damien Lewis, who is their best run blocker. When they run to the weakside toward David, he’ll be at the point of attack and will need to be a sure tackler against the 5-foot-9, 211-pound hard-nosed runner.
ADVANTAGE: Push

CB Jamel Dean vs. WR DK Metcalf

Like Tampa Bay’s Mike Evans, Metcalf typically plays the split end position on the weak side of the formation. That means he’ll be battling Jamel Dean for most of the game. Metcalf is having another very good year with 42 catches for 510 yards (12.1 avg.) and four touchdowns. He’s Seattle’s deep threat with a pair of 50-yard catches this year, but Metcalf doesn’t have a reception longer than 18 yards in seven of the team’s nine games in 2022. Will Smith target Metcalf down the field against Dean?

Dean has been the best and most consistent cornerback in Tampa Bay this year. He’s in a contract year and is playing very focused football. Dean has only given up two touchdowns this year, with both coming against Green Bay back in Week 3. He leads the Bucs with two interceptions, but both of those came in Week 2 at New Orleans. Dean has the length at 6-foot-1, 205 pounds to match up against the 6-foot-3, 229-pound Metcalf and must play physical.
ADVANTAGE: Push

CB Carlton Davis III vs. WR Tyler Lockett

Bucs Cb Carlton Davis Iii And Saints Wr Michael Thomas

Lockett leads the Seahawks with 51 catches for 598 yards (11.7 avg.) and four touchdowns. At 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, Lockett wins with quickness and elite route-running to create separation. He’s Smith’s go-to receiver on third downs and in the red zone. Lockett is one of the most consistent receivers in football and can’t be taken lightly. He has enough speed to go deep and strike with a touchdown downfield at any moment. Lockett is slightly faster than Davis and might challenge him with some vertical routes.

Davis returned to action last week from a hip injury and played great against the Rams. The physical Davis was second on the team with six tackles and didn’t allow much in terms of yards after catch. Davis will need to be physical at the line of scrimmage and not allow Lockett to have clean releases. And he’ll need to try to reroute the smaller receiver to prevent his lack of deep speed from being exposed downfield.
ADVANTAGE: Push

LG Damien Lewis vs. DT Vita Vea

Lewis is playing the best of the Seahawks’ unheralded offensive linemen. He’s a real force in the running game and has the best Pro Football Focus grade (68.4) of any Seattle player on the line of scrimmage. At 6-foot-3, 332 pounds, Lewis is a load, especially in the running game when he wins off the snap. He’s not the most athletic lineman, but his size and punch are worthy of respect.

Vea is having a career year in terms of sacks with 6.5 through nine games. His previous best was four sacks last year in his first Pro Bowl campaign. Vea is coming off a career-high two-sack game versus the Rams, and the Bucs will need a similar performance from him if they hope to win in Germany. But first and foremost, Vea has to be more stout in run defense on first and second down to help set Tampa Bay’s defense up to rush the passer in third-and-long situations. Vea has been inconsistent in run defense this year.
ADVANTAGE: Vea
