Bucs Add To NFC Best Run Defense Numbers

November 15th, 2015

McCoypointWhere was that allegedly mauling Cowboys offensive line? A line that was anchoring a hot running game and the NFL team leading the league in time of possession.

It wasn’t happening today.

Folks dared to fire darts at Joe this week when Joe wrote that the Bucs had the best run defense in the NFC. The Bucs entered today’s game allowing just 3.7 yards per carry, best in the conference.

Well, those numbers got better this afternoon. Dallas managed just 42 yards on 21 carries.

There’s a real difference with Akeem Spence back in the mix, and Will Gholston is a load in the run game, even if he can’t rush the passer.

There’s also some guy named McCoy in there, a guy end

    We did stopped the run….and probably got more pressure on Cassel than anyone else……the difference was our CBs…..they actually COVERED!!!

    LVD & KWON were forces…..the D looked very good.

  2. Hopeful Tampa fan Says:

    Not trying to be a hater, but seems like McCoy gets blown up rather easily on most run plays. Kwon Alexander is everyone and will gholston is an animal on first and second down

    Kwon Alexander is everywhere***

    What’s up Joe, really like you guys, always on the website, and been a Bucs fan since 1997. Please stop posting Jameis like Jesus or any blasphemys,, he will be a good quarterback, but Jesus Christ is the one and only God who was savagely murdered for our sins. You cannot compare anything or anyone to the messiah. God bless all my bros and sis.

    @Bucnut2,

    You’re hilarious dude. With every trolling post you make, you just make yourself look more and more pathetic. Keep it up!

    Lighten up, Edgar

    I think it’s time that Joe starts praising Lovie’s defense as much as he praises Jameis. The two young corners have made a huge difference in the pass defense, and they’re not bad in run support either. That game was vintage 1999 Buccaneer football, the defense suffocated the Cowboys and gave the offense a chance to win late in the 4th quarter. This team has clearly turned the corner and I believe they are going to make a strong run to finish the season. Lovie Smith for President!
