For a number of different reasons, don't be surprised if the Buccaneers' passing attack really takes off this season.
After a season that saw the Buccaneers finish last in the league in rushing, Tampa Bay’s running game has understandably been a hot discussion topic throughout the offseason.
These changes don’t guarantee an improved rushing attack. So you can expect to hear plenty more discussion about the team’s running game as the offseason churns along, but another aspect that is closely tied to these new additions — that isn’t being talked about enough — is the team’s passing attack.New investments in the offensive line? Check. More depth at the running back and receiver positions? Check. New, creative, and aggressive offensive coordinator? Check. Continuity? Checkmate.
But as the season went on, and Baker Mayfield began to develop chemistry with his receivers, the Buccaneers' passing attack started to show signs of life. Early in the year, Mayfield was one of the worst quarterbacks in the league in terms of deep ball accuracy. He wasn’t hitting his receivers downfield, and the team wasn’t scoring enough points because of it.
Following the first day of training camp, Antoine Winfield Jr. was asked about the chemistry he’s seen from Mayfield and his receivers, specifically Evans. “Last year, we heard all the talk about ‘we lost Tom’, ‘we’re going to be trash’ and things like that but we knew the caliber of players that we had. And this year we’re going to be better. I feel like. It’s already showing. I know it’s just Day 1, but OTA’s, it was different than it was a year before. We know Baker is going to be the guy. Last year, we didn’t know that, preparing. So, it’s a lot more continuity. Just learn the new offense and we’ll be good.
