It will be interesting to see how this offensive scheme changes with Tom Brady replacing Jameis Winston, but if it’s anything like last year’s offense, sign me all the way up. Arians’ passing offense is as aggressive as it gets, finishing first in downfield pass rate with top-seven rankings in both pass rate on early downs (7th) and while trailing (4th). The rest of the offense needs some work, however. Arians wasn’t aggressive enough on fourth downs (18th), didn’t incorporate play action enough (30th), and essentially punted on giving his running backs chances to find space. The Bucs’ 30th-ranked offense in both outside run rate and shotgun run rate were enough for me to keep them out of Tier 2 even though the aerial passing attack is something you love to see.
