Everyone at One Buc Palace seems to be all smiles since Jim Bates was defrocked.

Speaking yesterday on Sirius NFL Radio, Derrick Brooks was asked about the Bucs’ rush defense and why it’s been more sorry than good this season.

In short, he applauded Raheem the Dream for taking over the defense.

Brooks explained the Bucs problems stopping the run come down to personnel.

“The Bucs went back to a single-gap scheme and got back to a system they were familiar with and comfortable with and it showed,” Brooks said.

“I was watching the non-verbal actions [of the defense] and clearly they were more comfortable under the system that Raheem came up through, Monte Kiffin’s scheme and not what Jim Bates tried.

“To be fair, Bates didn’t have the personnel that fit his system.”

Alex Marvez of FoxSports.com, who was co-hosting with Brooks, went a step further and called out the Bucs’ front office.

“Oh, there was no maybe about it,” Marvez said. “It was an absolute disaster by the Bucs front office in not getting the proper personnel for Jim Bates.”
