Baker Mayfield's Confidence in the Buccaneers' Ground Game
Baker Mayfield is making waves as he expresses his extreme confidence in the Buccaneers' ground game, a critical aspect as they gear up for the 2024 season. In the previous season, the Bucs' rushing statistics were concerning, but with new offensive coordinator Liam Coen at the helm, changes are underway. The last two seasons saw Tampa Bay at the bottom of the league in rushing success, but positive trends are emerging.
Positive Changes for 2024
This season’s strategy emphasizes running better on first downs, a pivotal element for the team's offensive success.
- Bucs ranked last in rushing success rate (24.2%) last season.
- Minnento recruit Graham Barton as center to strengthen the line.
- Adding versatile playmaker Jalen McMillan to the roster.
Mayfield noted, "...I’m extremely confident in the guys we have doing it..." He highlights a collaborative effort among coaches to enhance the ground game's effectiveness and create favorable offensive situations.
Looking Ahead: Strengthening the Offense
As they approach their first game against the Week 1 2024 Commanders, the Bucs' offensive prospects look bright with Mayfield leading the charge joining the capable receiving corps. The emphasis on efficiency and improved performance on early downs could propel Tampa Bay into a formidable offensive unit this year.
