Read-Option: Run Stopping Worth The Price?

So how do we feel about what the Bucs have done so far this offseason to fix their problem? Was run defense this team’s biggest glaring weakness, and did they do enough to fix it?

Was the defensive problem on the line enough for you to approve of the drafting of 347-pound defensive tackle Vita Vea over strong safety Derwin James?

How much blame do you give Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith? How much do you give general manager Jason Licht? How much was defensive line coach Jay Hayes to blame? Do they get any sort of pass for not having the players on the roster? Or was that part of their blame, too?

How confident are you in the Buccaneers’ run-stuffing depth chart going into 2018 with new defensive tackles like Vea, Beau Allen and Mitch Unrein and new defensive end Vinny Curry?

Did they find the beef? Is there enough beef?

Can they control the line?
