FAB 1. Bucs Will Emphasize Running To Win This Year

The Bucs told us what they were going to do this offseason and how they were going to transform their offense. They showed us with the personnel moves they made in the spring and summer.

While Bruce Arians’ offense will always be pass-first, there was going to be a renewed emphasis on improving the production of the running game this year. That was apparent with the personnel decisions that were made in free agency and in the 2022 NFL Draft.

The most prominent move was the re-signing of running back Leonard Fournette to a three-year deal worth $7 million per season. Granted, the three-year free agent deal that No. 3 wide receiver Russell Gage got at $10 million per year is actually richer. But the market for receivers has become higher than that of running backs, and the Bucs were just following market value in signing both players.

But Fournette will receive far more touches and opportunities than Gage will. If Fournette just maintains his stat line from a year ago, he’ll touch the ball more than Mike Evans and Chris Godwin combined just due to the nature of his position.

Last year, he rushed for 812 yards and eight touchdowns on 180 carries and caught 69 passes for 454 yards and two more TDs. That’s 249 touches, compared to the combined 177 touches that Evans and Godwin received a year ago.

With a bigger emphasis on running the ball this year under new head coach Todd Bowles, those numbers should only increase. If he can stay healthy, Fournette should be Tampa Bay’s first 1,000-yard rusher since Doug Martin’s Pro Bowl season in 2015.

But re-signing Fournette wasn’t the only sign that the Bucs were going to prioritize the ground game this season. They traded for run-blocking right guard Shaq Mason to replace Alex Cappa and drafted a physical, run-blocking offensive lineman in Luke Goedeke to replace retired Pro Bowler Ali Marpet. The Bucs also drafted another rusher who is coming off a 1,000-yard season at Arizona State in Rachaad White.

The team also selected a pair of tight ends who excel in run blocking in Cade Otton and Ko Kieft. And the free agent tight end signed to help replace Rob Gronkowski is Kyle Rudolph, who specializes in blocking.

Tampa Bay realizes that it has a 45-year old quarterback who is the key to the franchise’s success this year – more so than any other player. The best way to protect Brady, especially with three new interior offensive linemen – including two players getting their initial starts this year – up front is by having him turn and hand the ball off.

Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich studied the team’s recent losses to two NFC nemeses – the Rams and the Saints. Tampa Bay has lost three straight to Los Angeles, including the postseason, and seven straight regular season games to New Orleans. The common denominator in those games was losing the turnover battle – often with too many interceptions – and not being productive enough on the ground running the ball.

Bucs Rb Leonard Fournette

In two losses against the Rams last year, the Bucs ran the ball for just 35 yards in Week 3 and 51 yards in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. In a 2020 defeat, Tampa Bay had just 42 yards rushing.

In the seven losses to the Saints, the Bucs have averaged just 74 yards rushing in those games. The last time the Bucs beat New Orleans in the regular season, Tampa Bay rushed for 112 yards. In the playoff win at New Orleans in 2020, Tampa Bay ran the ball for 127 yards.

“You’ve got to stay really balanced against these guys,” Brady said about the Saints, who are Bucs’ Week 2 opponent. “I don’t think you can turn it into a pass-a-thon. Stay balanced and be really efficient in what we’re doing up front and play physical and don’t turn the ball over and score points in the red area and play well in the kicking game and try to get some turnovers on defense – if we can do all those things I think we’ll be pretty happy at the end of the day.”

Despite being the most prolific passer in NFL history, Brady doesn’t mind his offense having a strong running game. In fact, he’s thrived with it in the past in New England.

Patriots Rushing Rankings In Brady’s Last Decade

2019: 18th – 106.4 ypg.
2018: 5th – 127.3 ypg. (Super Bowl victory)
2017: 10th – 118.1 ypg. (Super Bowl loss)
2016: 7th – 117 ypg. (Super Bowl victory)
2015: 30th – 87.8 ypg.
2014: 18th – 107.9 ypg. (Super Bowl victory)
2013: 9th – 129.1 ypg.
2012: 7th – 136.5 ypg.
2011: 20th – 110.2 ypg. (Super Bowl loss)
2010: 9th – 123.3 ypg.

Prior to Brady’s arrival in Tampa Bay over that same span, the Bucs struggled mightily to run the ball with any success outside of the 2012 and 2015 seasons.

Bucs Rushing Rankings Over The Last Decade

2019: 24th – 95.1 ypg.
2018: 29th – 95.2 ypg.
2017: 27th – 90.6 ypg.
2016: 24th – 101 ypg.
2015: 5th – 135.1 ypg.
2014: 29th – 85.9 ypg.
2013: 22th – 100.8 ypg.
2012: 15th – 114.8 ypg.
2011: 30th – 91.1 ypg.
2010: 8th – 125.1 ypg.

In 2020, Tampa Bay’s ground game ranked 29th, averaging 94.9 yards per game. So, that may go against the grain of this column, especially considering that Brady and the Bucs won Super Bowl LV that year. But in the postseason, the Bucs had three games with 127 yards rushing or more and averaged 122.5 yards per game on the ground. That’s an improvement of 27.6 yards per game in the postseason, which was a key element to the Bucs’ Super Bowl run. That running game – rushing for 122.5 yards per game in the postseason – would have ranked 13th in the NFL during the regular season.

Bucs Rb Leonard Fournette

That’s the type of increase in production the Bucs are looking for this year after rushing for just 98.4 yards per game in 2021. That ranked 26th last year.

With Fournette rushing for 127 yards on 21 carries in a Week 1 win at Dallas and the Bucs rushing for 152 yards in total on Sunday, Tampa Bay appears to be moving in the right direction. It’s just Week 1, but the Bucs have the league’s eighth-best rushing attack to start the season. An impressive feat considering that two interior linemen and two rookie tight ends were getting their first NFL starts on Sunday.

The Bucs only topped 150 yards rushing just once last year. That was with 159 yards in a 32-6 win at Carolina in Week 16.

Make no mistake. There will be some games this season where Brady throws for 300 or 400 yards and the Bucs’ ground game fails to get near 100 yards. After all, Tampa Bay does have the G.O.A.T. under center and a stellar collection of wide receivers.

Throughout the season, a stronger rushing attack should make Brady’s play-action passes even more effective. And a more balanced attack could lead to better results – and outcomes – against the Saints and Rams this year.

We’ll find out if the Bucs’ running game is for real this Sunday in New Orleans.

FAB 2. Bucs Establishing Ground Game For 2022 – And Beyond

Even in today’s pass-happy NFL, Bucs head coach Todd Bowles believes in stopping the run first. If a team can run the ball at will against an opponent, it can control the clock, physically wear down the opposition and keep the other offense off the field. Successful ground games can be vital when playing in inclement weather, and in salting away wins by running out the clock when teams have a lead.

That’s why Bowles puts so much emphasis on stopping the run first on defense. No other defensive play-caller likes to blitz as much as Bowles does. And that doesn’t happen nearly as often when opponents are in third-and-3 situations. But when Tampa Bay has opponents in third-and-6 situations – or longer – Bowles will almost always bring pressure.

Bowles understands the importance of the ground game from his playing days with the Washington Redskins under Joe Gibbs in the 1990s. And being brought up in the coaching ranks early under Bill Parcells has forged that understanding, too.

As was discussed in Fab 1, Bowles and offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich studied the recent losses to the Rams and Saints and discovered that not being able to produce in the ground game contributed mightily in those defeats.

In order to run the ball better against L.A. and New Orleans, Tampa Bay had to commit to running the ball better all season long. It’s been an emphasis since training camp, as Pewter Report documented in late July and August.

The Bucs can’t be a pass-happy offense all season and then show up and just run the ball at will against the Saints and Rams. With three new starters along the offensive line in rookie left guard Luke Goedeke, center Robert Hainsey and right guard Shaq Mason, Bowles and Leftwich wisely decided to play to their strengths – run blocking – and hide their weakness – pass protection – in a Week 1 win at Dallas. Leonard Fournette ran for 127 yards on 21 carries (6.0 avg.) and the Bucs ran for 152 yards versus the Cowboys.

“He was great and the line was great and the receivers blocked well and there was good communication,” Bucs quarterback Tom Brady said. “We’re going to need that all year, so it was a great way to start. We’ve got to continue to build on it.”

But the Bucs aren’t just establishing the run for the 2022 season. And they didn’t re-sign Fournette to another one-year deal.

The team knows that this is likely the last season with 45-year old quarterback in Brady in Tampa Bay. While the Bucs still have potent passing game weapons in Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage under contract for the next few years, whoever replaces Brady won’t be nearly as prolific as a passer.

The in-house replacements at quarterback next year are second-year QB Kyle Trask and 32-year old current backup Blaine Gabbert – provided that he re-signs with the Bucs next year. Outside of Lamar Jackson, who will likely be given the franchise tag by Baltimore if he doesn’t re-sign with the Ravens, there are slim pickings in free agency.

It’s doubtful we see quality QBs available on the trade market like we did in the spring. The 2022 offseason was a major outlier for quarterback trades.

The 2023 NFL Draft appears to have some promising QBs. But if the Bucs are successful this season and pick late in the first round, there might not be many good passers left by the time they’re on the clock. As Bowles found out in New York with the Jets, starting a rookie quarterback usually leads to an eventual firing. Raheem Morris found that out in Tampa Bay with Josh Freeman, as did Greg Schiano with Mike Glennon and Lovie Smith with Jameis Winston.

Whoever is under center for Tampa Bay in 2023 would be aided by a strong ground game. That’s why the Bucs are laying the foundation for that this year. Tampa Bay wants to win with a more balanced offense in 2022 – and beyond.

 FAB 3. Matchups To Watch: Bucs Offense vs. Saints Defense

Each week, you can find five matchups to watch on offense and defense in my SR’s Fab 5 column. Here are the five key matchups to watch on offense in the Bucs’ Week 2 battle with the Saints in New Orleans.

QB Tom Brady vs. MLB Demario Davis

This will be a chess match between two grizzled veterans. While Davis isn’t 45 years old, he’s almost 34 and is still one of the league’s best middle linebackers. Davis started his 11th NFL season with six tackles against the Falcons and was the second-highest graded Saints defender in Week 1 with a 71.4 Pro Football Focus grade. Davis is an all-around linebacker that can defend the run, drop in coverage and blitz. He’s recorded a sack on Brady before and will certainly test the young interior of Tampa Bay’s offensive line on Sunday with an A gap blitz or two.

Davis and Brady will be dueling pre-snap, attempting to call the right play against each other. Expect the Bucs to use a quick, rhythmic passing game to get the ball out of Brady’s hands quickly. The Saints didn’t register any sacks against Marcus Mariota in Week 1. Part of that was due to Mariota’s scrambling ability, which Brady lacks. But another part was due to play-action and using some max protect schemes. Expect Brady and the Bucs to follow suit with that blueprint on Sunday. Brady has struggled with interceptions against New Orleans due to pressure and disguised coverages. He’s thrown just six touchdowns and eight picks in four regular season games.

ADVANTAGE: Davis

LT Josh Wells vs. DE Marcus Davenport

Bucs Qb Tom Brady And Saints De Marcus Davenport

Whether it’s an injured Donovan Smith at left tackle or Wells, Smith’s backup, this will be a key matchup. Davenport, a former first-round pick, has come into his own as a pass rusher. Staying healthy has been a problem, but last year Davenport notched nine sacks in 11 games. He has three career sacks versus the Bucs. At 6-foot-6, 265 pounds, Davenport wins with length and strength. And don’t be surprised to see a few reps from Cameron Jordan against the Bucs’ left tackle, especially on third downs.

Wells did an admirable job filling in for Smith last week in Dallas after an elbow hyperextension knocked the starter out of the game. He’s better as a run blocker than he is a pass protector, evidenced by the sack he surrendered to Micah Parsons last Sunday. They key for the Bucs to protect Wells and the young interior offensive linemen is to avoid third-and-long situations.

ADVANTAGE: Davenport

LG Luke Goedeke vs. DT David Onyemata

Onyemata is one of the more underrated defensive tackles in the league. The 30-year old has never been to the Pro Bowl because he’s not an elite pass rusher, but he’s still a very good overall interior lineman. His career high is 6.5 sacks in 2020, but he only notched two in 11 games in 2021, but one of those was against the Bucs. Onyemata won’t be squaring off against Pro Bowlers in Ali Marpet and Ryan Jensen this year, and that should give him a clear advantage.

Goedeke was decent as a run blocker (61.1 PFF grade) in his first NFL start last week at Dallas. His pass protection was lackluster (31.8 PFF grade). Onyemata won’t be as quick as Cowboys defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa was last week. But he’ll win with power and veteran savvy. Goedeke will have his hands full against Onyemata, and don’t be surprised if the Saints kick Davenpport inside against Goedeke on pass-rushing downs and bring in situational pass rusher Carl Granderson to rush against the left tackle.

ADVANTAGE: Onyemata

WR Mike Evans vs. CB Marshon Lattimore

Bucs Wr Mike Evans

Lattimore and Evans have battled it out since the Saints’ top cover corner entered the league in 2017. Yet, in 11 games against Tampa Bay, including the 2020 playoffs, Lattimore only has one interception. But the Ohio State product wins with great coverage and by shutting down receivers rather than by creating turnovers. At 6-foot, 192 pounds, Lattimore has enough size and length to match up with the 6-foot-5 Evans and create problems. These two have had some heated battles that have led to some fights on occasion. Both players will have to be mindful not to draw a personal foul penalty to hurt their team.

Evans has struggled to produce outside of the red zone against the Saints. In fact, he has just one 100-yard game against New Orleans since entering the NFL in 2014. That came mostly against Lattimore in 2018, when he had seven catches for 147 yards and one TD. The Bucs beat the Saints, 48-40, in Week 1 in New Orleans that year. So, maybe the key to finally beating the Saints is this matchup – and Evans producing 100 yards? He played well last year with three catches for 62 yards and a TD in two games, but he missed most of the second matchup due to an injury. Evans had five catches for 66 yards and a TD in two games in 2020. Even in Tampa Bay’s postseason win at New Orleans in 2020, Evans had just one catch, but he made it count as it was a 3-yard TD.

ADVANTAGE: Push

RB Leonard Fournette vs. LB Pete Werner

Werner didn’t receive a stellar PFF grade (58.1) for Week 1, but he was the most productive Saints defender with 13 tackles and a key forced fumble. The Saints played a lot of nickel defense last week at Atlanta, even when the Falcons went with 13 personnel (one back, three tight ends). It was just Werner, a second-round pick in 2021, and Davis on the field for the New Orleans defense. With the Bucs expected to run the ball quite a bit, Werner should be in for plenty of action on Sunday.

Fournette had one of his most productive days rushing the ball in red and pewter last week in Dallas. He carried the ball 21 times for 127 yards, and also had two catches for 10 yards. Fournette tweaked his hamstring in the fourth quarter against the Cowboys and was limited in practice this week. That will be something to watch on Sunday, as it could affect his workload/availability. If he can stay healthy, Fournette could have another big day if he has some running room.

ADVANTAGE: Fournette

FAB 4. Matchups To Watch: Bucs Defense vs. Saints Offense

Each week, you can find five matchups to watch on offense and defense in my SR’s Fab 5 column. Here are the five key matchups to watch on defense for the Bucs in New Orleans in this NFC South clash.

OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka vs. RT Ryan Ramcyzk

Ramczyk has been a rock for the Saints at right tackle. It’s a toss-up between he and Tampa Bay’s Tristan Wirfs for the best right tackle in the league. In the last four games he’s played against the Bucs (he missed the Week 15 game last year), Ramczyk has allowed a total of three hurries and no hits or sacks. He only allowed one hurry last week against Atlanta, too. As good as Ramcyzk is in pass protection, he’s even better as a run blocker. His lowest PFF grade in the running game for any season has been 78.1, and that was his rookie year. Ramczyk earned an 85.6 run blocking grade last year.

Tryon-Shoyinka is a very long, quick, athletic edge rusher for Tampa Bay. But entering his second year, he’s still raw in some areas. Defending the run is one of those spots, as he has a tendency to get too far up-field, create too big of a gap and get exposed against off-tackle run plays. The Bucs will play Tryon-Shoyinka on both sides of the line, but last week, he played 44 snaps on the left side. The Bucs have tried to use Shaquil Barrett on the left side against Ramcyzk, but the results haven’t been good, especially on passing plays. JTS is bigger and longer, so maybe he can find the chink in Ramcyzk’s armor this year.

ADVANTAGE: Ramcyzk

ILB Devin White vs. RB Alvin Kamara

Bucs Ilb Devin White

The Bucs have done a decent job of corralling Kamara since Todd Bowles arrived in 2019. He’s scored four touchdowns in seven games and only totaled 100 yards three times. Kamara is still a dangerous weapon in both the running and passing game, and he’ll need to be accounted for. Last year was the best year that White and Tampa Bay’s defense defended him. He ran for just 89 yards and one touchdown, and caught five passes for 28 yards – combined in two games.

White had a sensational start to the 2022 season in Week 1. He was assignment sound and led the Bucs with eight tackles and two sacks. White was also great in coverage and nearly had a pick-six. As a Louisiana native, he always gets up to play the Saints, especially in the Superdome. However, the last time White made the trip to Louisiana, he drew three personal foul penalties. White has to play with more discipline and keep his emotions in check. If he does, the outcome could favor the Bucs.

ADVANTAGE: White

DT Akiem Hicks vs. RG Cesar Ruiz

Ruiz struggled in Week 1 against the Falcons in both run blocking and pass protection. PFF gave him a 43.9 grade after Ruiz gave up a sack and a pressure. After recording a season-long 43.4 grade as a first-round pick in 2020, he graded out better with a 63.8 grade last year, but surrendered five sacks. He didn’t fare much better in the ground game last week with a 47.4 grade. That’s down slightly from his 52.9 season-long grade as a run blocker last year. If the Saints have a weakness up front, it’s at guard where Ruiz and Andrus Peat are below-average players.

Hicks had a very quiet debut for the Bucs last week in Dallas. Going up against perennial Pro Bowler Zack Martin was a big reason why. Hicks had two tackles, one hit and one pressure while playing 40 snaps. The Bucs will need Hicks and rookie Logan Hall to really win this matchup and get pressure on Jameis Winston up the middle. Hall only played 20 snaps in his NFL debut, but between the athletic defensive tackles, they’ll need to make sure Ruiz has a second bad game in a row to start the 2022 campaign.

ADVANTAGE: Hicks

CB Carlton Davis III vs. WR Michael Thomas

Bucs Cb Carlton Davis Iii

Thomas didn’t play against the Bucs last year, and the last time he did was back in 2020. Thomas was held to just three catches for 17 yards and five catches for 51 yards in each of the regular season games, mostly going up against Davis. In the playoffs, Davis and the secondary held him without a catch on 44 snaps in a 30-20 win in the NFC Divisional round. Thomas had five catches for 57 yards and two touchdowns last week to help key a 16-point rally to beat the Falcons.

Davis and Thomas have battled for years and don’t like each other. The Bucs’ top cover cornerback has taunted Thomas on social media over the past year and this should be the key matchup to watch. Davis, with his 6-foot-1, 205-pound frame, has the size to match up well with the 6-foot-3, 212-pound receiver. The key will be tight coverage in the red zone. Keeping Thomas out of the end zone is a must for the Bucs to win. And don’t sleep on the Jamel Dean vs. Jarvis Landry matchup on the other side of the field, either.

ADVANTAGE: Davis

DB Antoine Winfield Jr. vs. TE Juwan Johnson

Johnson is the secret weapon on the Saints’ offense. He was the highest-graded run blocker in the Week 1 win over the Falcons. Johnson was the lead blocker at the point of attack on Taysom Hill’s 57-yard QB keeper and his 19-yard TD run. He also caught two passes for 43 yards. For as much focus as the Bucs will have to pay toward Hill, who can line up at QB, TE or WR, Johnson can be just as deadly.

Winfield will face a lot of different foes on Sunday lining up in the slot. The Saints will use Chris Olave there and perhaps Michael Thomas or Jarvis Landry to create some different matchups. But Winfield will also be charged with defending the tight end position, and that could be Adam Trautman, Hill or Johnson. Winfield had a great debut as the nickel slot cornerback in Dallas with six tackles and a key interception. He’ll need to be mindful that Johnson can hurt the Bucs as a blocker or receiver, and win this battle at or near the line of scrimmage.

ADVANTAGE: Winfield

FAB 5. SR’s Buc Shots

• JONES STILL HAS THE JETS: As Fox NFL commentator Brian Baldinger points out, new Bucs wide receiver Julio Jones still has speed at age 33. That was on display on a 12-yard end-around and a 48-yard catch at Dallas in Week 1.

• FOURNETTE HAS NO TEARS FOR PARSONS: Bucs running back Leonard Fournette threw a de-cleating chip block on Cowboys pass rusher Micah Parsons on Tom Brady’s 48-yard pass to Julio Jones. After the game, Parsons was crying about it on Twitter. Fournette gave him a set of Michael Jordan tears in response.
