The Buccaneers defense is way ahead of their offense so far in the pre-season and the offense needs to catch up if the Bucs are going to return to the playoffs.  The Bucs are averaging 117.0 rushing per game on offense, and are getting 3.7 yards per carry.  The pass offense is averaging 185.5 yards per game through the air, but is completing 67.4% of their passes.

The defense has been devastating.  The Bucs are only allowing 65.0 yards rushing per game and only 3.0 yards per carry.  The pass defense is only giving up 157.5 yards through the air, but opponents are connecting on 62.9% of their passes.
