Read-Option: First Options On First Down

There’s been a lot of talk of tendencies and success rates in this week’s Cover 3, but all of that is relative to what is going on around the league. At the end of the day, this isn’t every other team in the NFL – this is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And what’s good for the league might not be what’s good for them.

Do you believe that, or do you believe this offense staff needs to stop overthinking things and follow the trend of throwing more on first down?

What was your opinion of this Bucs offense last year? Was it too predictable? Were the right plays not called, or was it really that this team just didn’t have the talent to make it happen, especially up front on the offensive line? How much do you think needs to change as opposed to the team getting better naturally via the new guys coming in?

What’s your opinion on Dirk Koetter as an offensive mind?

Are you confident with him in control or does offensive coordinator Todd Monken need to take over the play-calling and let Koetter manage the game as a head coach?
