Canales has already mentioned him playing more outside or on the boundary. I'm excited

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
I haven't forgotten how great this offense was in 20-21, but I'm so excited to see something different after it crashed and burned in 2022.
Boots/roll-outs/waggles, new emphasis on and wrinkles in the run game, Godwin outside. These are exciting changes for the better.

It's a completely new offense. People make it seem like because many of the "pieces" are the same it means the same menu, but it doesn't work like that at all.
You give 5 different chefs the exact same kitchen you'll get 5 different meals. This is so much more than "going from Brady to Baker/Trask".

Right. We have a new (unknown) chef, and worse ingredients.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
Leftwich’s firing has @Doctor in some sort of purgatory. The Bucs don’t make mistakes! But, who else do we blame for the offensive struggles last season? Or do we twist a bunch of incompatible thoughts together and saw everyone was great and no mistakes were made!MJW wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 6:36 pm"It was all Leftwich's fault" is the new "He just needs more time."Doctor wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 6:32 pm It's a completely new offense.

Play calling was horrible last year, not hard to see

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
It’s a combination of not having Jensen, Marpet, Gronk, AB, or a healthy Godwin, having a distracted Brady and then Leftwich not being able to adjust to those already crippling factors.MJW wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 6:36 pm"It was all Leftwich's fault" is the new "He just needs more time."Doctor wrote: ↑Tue May 30, 2023 6:32 pm It's a completely new offense.

Not to mention flat out ignoring analytics. Refusing to run play action. Calling the most first down runs in neutral situations in the NFL. Refusing to run in the red zone. And just being generally predictable all around.
Cluster-eff.
Sadly for the tankathon crew our offense is likely to be much improved over last year.

Also, Smith’s spiral, the complete lack of being able to run the ball effectively, plus our new #3 Gage being hurt and a non-factor most of the year and no one else stepping up as a reliable target.
That’s just on offense, and I’m sure there were more to list before getting to the defensive issues.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
Not going to read through 50 pages of content, but am I the only one who thinks Canales was brought in to replace Bowles?
This supposition is entirely based on if his offense can be at least mid-tier given who we will be trotting out behind center.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
So Dirk Koetter 2.0 then?
Tell me this franchise isn't that predictable. There's also no indication a guy who's in his 1st year as an NFL OC & playcaller is ready or even capable of taking the helm at HC.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
No one thinks that Canales is going to be the next HC. Leftwich just historically sucked as an OC. His play calling and designs were from a different era. It is hard to adequately describe how the Bucs offense was incredibly poor in every single aspect. Leftwich could not gameplay for our weaknesses or for the opposing teams possible inefficient area’s. Definitely addition by subtraction!

Leftwich probably could gameplan effectively if he wanted to, but he said at MULTIPLE press conferences that he didn't gameplan at all. "We are just going to run our offense" and "you can't change what you do week-to-week" and so on.
Dude had the coaching acumen of a burrito.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
If we had the same team as last year, yeah, it would have solved a lot of issues short of the damage done by all the injuries. We wasted Brady's last year with Fatwich being among the worst OC's in Bucs history.
With a healthier season and nearly anyone else alive as OC, we are still contenders. Maybe not Champs, we weren't as talented as the title winning team, but contenders.
Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
Damn these two guys look like shit. For most any other NFL team this would be a battle for 3rd string qb.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
It's not all that difficult to edit a 1-2 minute clip of video to make a QB look bad, or good. I've watched a few of them indicating how woefully inaccurate they both are and after an initial miss there are multiple throws on the numbers.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
• Trask took reps with the second-string offense again on Tuesday, but head coach Todd Bowles said that both Trask and Baker Mayfield were alternating days as the starter. The third-year quarterback had a strong finish to practice, throwing a touchdown to undrafted free agent receiver Kade Warner in the end zone, and launching a low strike to undrafted free agent receiver Ryan Miller, who made a great diving catch.
• Mayfield took starting reps once again and overcame a somewhat slow start to catch fire at the end of practice. He showed great anticipation hitting Warner on a quick slant and following that up with a dart to sixth-round pick Trey Palmer on a skinny post. Mayfield also showed great patience in allowing routes to develop just outside the red zone before finding a wide open Rakim Jarrett for a score. Once inside the red zone, Mayfield showed off his scrambling ability on a designed QB keeper end-around for a rushing touchdown.
Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
Brady wasted his own year and probably should've stayed retired. We'd be a full season into the Trask experiment and had avoided some less than stellar resignings.
Of course you welcome him back in, but it really threw a wrench in a lot of the planning. But what's done is done, we pivot. And I think we've done about the best darn job we could in the pivot to give ourselves the best chance to 3peat the division but still hedge our bets for next season.
In the very likely event we need to pivot at QB next offseason we'll at least have a year in our new offense for our WRs and our revamped OL, a (hopefully) established run game with White and Tucker, and a top 5 defense. Pretty much the ideal situation you'd want for a new QB.
In the unlikely event a QB emerges. Well by golly we'll have all that plus a QB.
So while Brady may have knocked us off the Arians Trask transition plan, the majority of the reload is still in play.

Re: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Official 2023 Off Season Thread
This completely ignores the QB search the Bucs went on prior to Brady coming back, but sure...we can pretend that they planned on Trask being the starter last season.Doctor wrote: ↑Wed May 31, 2023 10:49 am Brady wasted his own year and probably should've stayed retired.

I keep playing that song “All I need is a miracle” as I look at the Bucs poster in my room. Hey, if Nike can sign Michael Jordan, maybe Baker Mayfield can become Tom Brady.
