Bright Lights - Quarter One

Pretty tough to find any positives at 0-4, but there are a few: 1. Trotter playing well Rookie LB Josiah Trotter was a big part of the Bucs' success in limiting Green Bay's rushing attack, as he recorded a team-leading nine tackles. According to Next Gen Stats, the Packers only averaged 2.2 yards per rush attempt when he was on the field, as he played 50 of the team's 60 defensive snaps. Trotter missed the Buccaneers' Week Three game against Minnesota due to a shoulder injury, but in the three games he has played he has racked up a team-best 30 tackles. 2. Bucs defense overall One week after allowing the Vikings to convert on just two of their 15 third-down tries, the Buccaneers held Green Bay to only two conversions in 10 attempts. That equals the third fewest third-down conversions Tampa Bay's defense has ever allowed in a two-game stretch. Overall, Tampa Bay ranks sixth in the NFL with a third-down success rate allowed of 32.69%, prior to the game on Monday night between Atlanta and New Orleans. The Buccaneers also ranks in the top five in per game rates allowed in total yards (282.8), yards per play (4.96) and first downs (16.3). 3. Daniels wasn't overwhelmed. He had turnovers, but . . . "Daniels threw 27 passes in his debut and completed 19 of them (70.4%) for 148 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He also rank for 55 yards on eight carries. Those rushing yards were the most ever by a rookie quarterback in Bucs history, just surpassing the 54 gained by Parnell Dickinson against San Diego on Sept. 19, 1976, which was just the second regular-season game in franchise history. That was the most rushing yards by a Buccaneer quarterback since Baker Mayfield ran for 68 yards against the New Orleans Saints in the 2024 regular season finale. Daniels' 55 rushing yards were the second most ever by a Buccaneers quarterback making his starting debut.

Walker finally had over 50% of the defensive snaps yesterday. Imagine that.

He’s the best pass rushing EDGE on the team.

He should be getting a snap share like that.
