Greg White and company didn't get to Jay Cutler on Sunday.

Name a Super Bowl-winning defense without a pass rush, or at least one undeniably big-time pass rusher.

Yeah, good luck with that.

Gaines Adams, Greg White and company have had their moments this season, but the Bucs just don’t have the defensive line to do what’s necessary to advance in the playoffs. No matter how sharp the secondary, or how quick the linebackers, the Bucs defense can’t reach greatness without pressure on the quarterback.

Five games into the season, and there’s no apparent improvement on the defensive line from last season. 

Not to say the Bucs are horrible in the trenches, they’re just not good enough. It was painfully obvious in the 16-13 loss against Denver on Sunday. And if they can’t get to Jake Delhomme next week without compromising their coverages, Carolina will stick it to them.
