With the exception of 2021 season when they were simply average, Tampa has had a terrible rushing attack since 2016. Three different HCs, different players - but results are almost constant.
This season they stink again. What is the reason behind it? Draft choice strategy prioritizing passing?
The last two years it has been bad interior blocking combined with poor play design/run timing. That’s pretty consistent throughout Tampa’s recent history.
