Can't really complain about the Bucs output this season even though they missed the playoffs by a tiebreaker. The offensive line is still the glaring weakness of the team, and I felt like the offense was sputtering quite a bit in the last half of the season. Winston progressed. There's still kinks that need to be worked out (overthrows, overthrows, and overthrows), but watching him during plays that break down is a treat. The Bucs have never had a QB be able to make something happen out of the pocket like this. Evans cleaned up the drops and is now firmly an elite receiver. Brate is the perfect safety valve. Martin got hurt then tried to drug his way back, and the rest of the running game was real bad. There were flashes at times, but having to split the load because of Sims health and Quizz/Barber being inconsistent really hurt the offense. The defense was a massive surprise. I cannot believe the secondary played as well as it did. Grimes was great, Hargreaves made rookie mistakes but did well compared to expectations, and Tandy was a surprise. Chris Conte still blows though. David and Alexander were solid. David got off to a rough start, but by the end, he was a human tackling machine again. The D-Line was inconsistent at times, but it was a huge step up overall. Mike Smith deserves a ton of credit for the way he coached this group, and the game against Seattle is his masterwork. Really hope he doesn't get hired away. Second Round Kicker sucked a lot. Third Round Punter was real cool though.
