Unique O-line players (10) puts them in a tie for last for most O-Line players used. Carolina's run game has been good with similar platooning, but the Vikings are vthe other team with 10 and their run game is worse than the Bucs.
Panthers RYPG 136
Bucs RYPG 98.1
Vikings RYPG 93.9
Here are the metrics and the Bucs O-line rank
run block win-rate . . 29th. (the Bucs were 6th in 2024 per ESPN)
pressure rate allowed . .24th
pass block win rate . . 17th (the Bucs were 5th in 2024 per ESPN)
yard before contact/carry . .25th
stuffed run percentage . . 15th

Just saw this. Right side of the line is the culprit. Left side doing their job (somewhat), but having to help the right. TE’s having to help the o-line, pulled out of passing game except for check downs, and RB being anchored in pass pro. Even with this, it allows Baker less time and opens him up to more hits.
Got to address RT - but that’s not the only spot…

Bredeson is horrendous and Barton is right behind him. Everyone just says “tHe RiGhT sIdE” but these two are making LG and C perhaps the biggest 2026 needs.

Nobody is arguing that Bredeson and Barton are playing well.
But, to pretend that the dogshit we’re marching out on the right side of the line isn’t God-awful, is as comical as your Freeman takes.
Speaking of your usual shit takes, how’s Tucker’s rush/EPA this year?
They aren't playing well and it isn't helping them when the play calling is easy to predict.
A perfect storm

I can’t get enough of that guy talking down to people with his personnel evals. Perfect 10, no notes.

Coen comparison. The Jaguars have 6 Unique O-line players compared to Bucs 10, so relatively healthy. They started fast and Coen dramatically improved the Jags run game, but they have since fallen off:
"Jacksonville averaged 136 rushing yards per game during its 4-1 start. It was exactly how Coen, who helped the Buccaneers finish with the NFL’s fourth-most rushing yards as their offensive coordinator last year, wanted his team to look.
The run game has fallen off since then. The Jaguars have averaged 76.5 rushing yards per game during their losing streak.
Coen is hopeful a restful bye week will help his team up front. None of Jacksonville’s offensive linemen have been on the injury report this week.
“Getting a little bit healthier up front helps,” Coen said. “Being off a week and getting these guys feeling better to where we can get back to running the football, creating a little bit more movement up front, just creating a little bit more of an advantage. … Different variations can help as well, but just getting back to running the football a little bit more, a little bit more violence.”
Bucky was our best make-you-miss guy, sort of speak.” Bowles told The Sage of Tampa Bay Sports.
“He could make you miss in the open field and in the hole. So, he got extra yards because he was more jittery and one-cut and still full speed. There are all different kinds of running backs. The other two are very good, as well, but Bucky could make one or two guys miss and make you miss, and make the make the O-line look a little better. So we miss that type of dynamic, I think, when you talk about our offense.”
