The defense of the Bucs has been pathetic overall this season.  They have allowed 187.3 yards rushing (5.2 ypc) and 245.0 yards passing per game (113.6 QB Rating).  Those are incredible numbers to digest as there is no way to sugarcoat it…..they have sucked on defense so far this season.  Linebacker Barrett Ruud is still the best player on defense for the Bucs and he is still playing hard.  He leads the team with 32 tackles this season but he isn’t getting much help.  The most incredible thing about Ruud’s tackles total is that opposing offensive linemen are getting to him on the second level because of the pathetic play of the D-Line.
