Taking a quick look at TB front 7-best in football vs run

[Verdict]

We are well aware how poor this team's run defense was this season. It should be the biggest priority, outside of resigning their franchise QB.

Tampa Bay runs a 3-4 Base Defense under Todd Bowles

DE-Suh (3 Tech)
NT-Vea (Missed majority of the yr)
DE-Gholston (Very good base run defender)

Hill/Gallimore can play the 3, we heard rumblings McCoy may return as well. Team needs a quality NT and good run defending base DE.

OLB-Pierre-Paul (former down 4-3 lineman with the Giants)
OLB-Barrett (Broke out last season)

Combo of Lawrence/Gregory is comparable against the run.

MLB-Devon White (Elite inside backer)
WLB-L. David (More of the run and hit player)

I think both Lve/Jaylon fit more as that run and hit LB. Team needs a stud MLB.

I'm going off of memory here, but weren't Suh, Vea and Gholston all three first round picks? Top half of the first round, if I recall.

I'm pretty sure Pierre Pail and Barrett were also first round picks as well.

 

[Verdict]

Aren't Suh, Pierre Paul and Barrett all three free agent acquisitions? Or am I thinking of the wrong Barrett?

Believe Gholston and Barrett weren't 1st rounders, but the others were.

 

[Ranched]

Lawrence was not anywhere near as effective from a two-point stance.

Lawrence hasn't been effective until the latter part of the season period. Overpaid=Less Production

I was told Brady was the only reason TB made the playoffs. Defense doesn't matter if you're an "elite" QB.

I'm having a hard time understanding what the point of this is. Their defense is average.

TB led the league in rushing defense, allowing 3.6 ypc. Dallas finished 31st, allowing 5.0 ypc.

TB was 8th in points allowed. Dallas finished 28th. "Their defense is average." Yeah, okay.

Their defense is top 10. Dallas' defense is bottom 5. That's the point.

*waits to be told (again) that the only difference was injuries*

Run defense doesn't matter, pass defense does. Their defense was average.

Points is mostly a product of schedule.
