Defensive Coach Vs. Offensive Coach
April 16th, 2020
Bucco Bruce Arians’ 1989 roommate was talking today.
Joe’s referring to Buccaneers icon and Hall of Fame head coach Tony Dungy, who joined The Rich Eisen Show.
Dungy expressed many of the typical thoughts about the Arians-Tom Brady marriage, which he thinks will mean more wins for the Bucs. But Dungy did venture to a different theme, one he understands well.
While Arians and Bill Belicheat have similar old-school styles, Dungy said, Brady will appreciate a major philosophical change.
“The difference is Tom has spent 20 years with a defensive coach,” Dungy said. “Now he’s with an offensive guy. Very similar style but different thought processes. Bruce is creative. Bruce is going to push the ball. They’re going to score points. And I think Tom is going to enjoy that and appreciate it.”
The Bucs racked up 28.6 points per game last season, third most in the NFL. Just imagine what would happen if Brady is better than Jameis Winston and the Bucs find a threatening running back and a consistent freakin’ kicker.
As for Brady having a say in the Tampa Bay draft, Dungy seemed to think that wouldn’t happen. Peyton Manning didn’t go there in Indianapolis.
“He obviously had his thoughts. And he’d want to know who was good, who we were looking at. But it was never the type of thing where he’d come in and say, ‘We ought to take this guy,'” Dungy said of Manning and the NFL Draft.
However, Dungy said Manning was very eager to have his voice heard in free agency every year.

Funny, because Bruce Arian’s offenses are always bad but his defenses are good.

Those first three comments were like a comedy skit. Including the names. Well done.
In BA I Trust!

The number of times our former QB handed the ball to opposing offenses really hurt our defense. I think we will see our defense benefit more from Brady than our offense. Go Bucs!

Ugggghhh…Stop telling me GOAT QB and one of the best coaches of QB can not put together a passing scheme. With Mike Evans, Godwin, Brate, and OJ (possibly????).

Joe serious ? You say we averaged 28.6 per gm 3rd best. Does this factor in tds scores by our defense or no?

I’m thinking the kicker won’t be quite as important with Brady……BA will probably opt to go for it more on 4th down & Brady will probably connect on earlier downs more often…..
Still need a good kicker…..Hopefully, Gay is that guy.

Anybody remember when Brady was throwing to a then “HOF-caliber” WR? Now imagine him throwing to two!
That Patriots team was 16-0! Tom Brady threw 50 (FIFTY!) TD passes.
Is there any reason NOT to be excited?!

Tony Dungy said: “As for Brady having a say in the Tampa Bay draft, Dungy seemed to think that wouldn’t happen. Peyton Manning didn’t go there in Indianapolis.”
Right coach. Clyde Christensen and you made Peyton Manning run Clyde’s offense. I don’t believe that for a second. Dungy is a good coach but wouldn’t know offensive talent or an effective scheme if he tripped over it. It is far more plausible that the defense he installed and leaving Peyton Manning the hell alone won the Colts the Superbowl.

Everyone keeps thinking that the Bucs are going to score 40 points a game with Brady. They are basing that on last year. Last year we had turnover prone Jameis, so we had to throw a lot. We also had no running game to speak of. We will now have a more balanced offense and we will not be trying to “make up” for turnovers. That will translate to wins as long as our defense stays healthy.

From the article: “Just imagine what would happen if Brady is better than Jameis
Winston”
It doesn’t take imagination. It take imagination to get to the world where you would have to imagine that.

And I don’t want to hear Winston was better than Brady if he doesn’t throw 5000 yards. It will be about wins and toughness of the team.

>>> It doesn’t take imagination. It take imagination to get to the world where you would have to imagine that. <<<
Is that the same world where Jameis has better stats? We live in that world. No need to imagine. Kick the door down from your dark closet of hate you locked yourself into.

Its going to be veeeeery interesting if Brady throws 17 plus ints this season

Honestly, no one ever mentions how are defense sucked way before Winston threw 30 touchdowns. Our secondary was garbage and the front line couldn’t apply pressure if it wanted to. Winston was drafted #1 cause the team sucked before he got there so we to stop blaming everything on Winston and except the front office made mistakes and didn’t build any consistent improvements till recently that Brady will benefit from. They need to keep a coach more than 2 -3 years and learn to run the ball and not throw it 50 times a game common sense. No run game makes you one dimensional and Brady won’t be able to survive throwing it 30 plus times a game. We need coaching balance not egos to feed. Brady brings a winners mentality so I get it we didn’t have to trash Winston in the process. H is very young and will do great for another team once he grows into his starting role. Bucs go 12-4 this season Brady throws 3950 22 Tds 7 ints we win division. Make it to divisional round.
