Last season, the Tampa Buccaneer secondary was the worst in the NFL. So the Bucs went out and signed Darrelle Revis<\/b> from the New York Jets.<\/p>\n
Without a pass rush, the question has been asked how much difference will Revis<\/b> make this season?<\/p>\n
Former Buccaneer and Indianapolis Colt head coach, Tony Dungy<\/b> was asked that question.<\/p>\n
As the architect of the famous Tampa 2 defense, the groundwork was laid for real Buccaneer history. That defense won Coach<\/b> Dungy<\/b> a Super Bowl with the Colts and a place in history.<\/p>\n
On the Buccaneer defense, Coach Dungy<\/b> said, it\u2019s kind of backward, building a defense from back to front, rather than front to back.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think you can build a defense that way with the rule the way they are. Having good corners and all that helps, but I don\u2019t know you\u2019re going to have may Hall of Fame corners who didn\u2019t have good rushers in front of them.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coach<\/b> Dungy<\/b> said with the great Buc defenses, even with Hall candidates John Lynch<\/b> and Ronde Barber<\/b>, it began up front.<\/p>\n
Coach<\/b> Dungy<\/b> said he has nothing against Revis<\/b> and his skill set, or against Bucs head coach, Greg Schiano<\/b>.<\/p>\n
\u201cI guess their thought is they\u2019ll get more with more coverage. But to me, it starts with the rush. You have to disrupt the quarterback.\u201d<\/p>\n
Coach<\/b> Dungy<\/b> said he hopes what the Bucs are doing works, and he thinks their thought is they will get more with more coverage.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt will only work if those guys can create pressure. They must have faith in them.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
