The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a major defensive problem heading into Week 4 of the 2026 NFL season, and the numbers are starting to make it impossible to ignore. Former Buccaneers great Gerald McCoy recently appeared on the This Is Football podcast with ESPN's Kevin Clark and identified Tampa Bay as the most disappointing team through the first three weeks of the season. McCoy also shared an alarming observation about the Buccaneers defense, saying that based on what he has been hearing, players are being taught things that simply are not going to work. Evan Winter breaks down McCoy's comments and why they are worth paying attention to — especially when you compare them with what is actually happening on the field. One of the biggest issues is Tampa Bay's inability to generate pressure and create turnovers. The Buccaneers are also struggling to get consistent production from their pass rush, while players such as David Walker may not be receiving enough opportunities despite producing when they are on the field. But the biggest statistical problem might be tackling. According to Pro Football Focus, the Buccaneers have missed 20 tackles through the first three weeks of the season. The NFL average is only 10.5 missed tackles. Tampa Bay also has seven players who have missed at least two tackles, tied with the Minnesota Vikings for the most players in the league in that category. That means the Buccaneers are missing tackles at nearly twice the league-average rate. The problem doesn't stop there. Four of Tampa Bay's linebackers rank among the six Buccaneers players allowing the most yards after catch per reception, while the defense has allowed 376 yards after catch through three weeks. Those missed tackles are turning short completions and routine plays into much bigger gains — and that can completely change the outcome of NFL games. So is this simply a matter of individual players failing to execute? Or is there a bigger problem with how Todd Bowles' defense is putting those players in position? Evan Winter breaks down Gerald McCoy's comments, David Walker's role, Tampa Bay's tackling issues, the problems at linebacker and why the Buccaneers need to find a solution quickly. What do you think? Is this primarily a player execution problem, a coaching problem, or some combination of both?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers received some good news on Baker Mayfield's thumb injury, but his absence creates a massive opportunity for Jalon Daniels — and one major mistake Tampa Bay cannot afford to make. Baker Mayfield's MRI came back clean with no ligament or tendon damage and no surgery needed, according to Todd Bowles. However, Bowles said Baker will miss a minimum of three weeks, meaning Jalon Daniels is expected to take over at quarterback while Mayfield recovers. Evan Winter breaks down what Baker's injury means for the Buccaneers, why Jalon Daniels has a legitimate opportunity to keep Tampa Bay competitive, and why the Buccaneers cannot allow Baker's absence to influence their evaluation of Todd Bowles at the end of the 2026 season. Daniels enters this opportunity as an undrafted rookie who had never taken a meaningful NFL snap before earning the Buccaneers' backup quarterback job during the preseason. His preseason performance was strong enough to force Tampa Bay to choose him over veteran Jake Browning. Now he'll get a chance to prove what he can do in real NFL games. The good news for Daniels is that he doesn't have to be Superman. Tampa Bay still has important pieces around him, including Tristan Wirfs, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving and a defense that showed some encouraging signs against Minnesota. The Buccaneers are also still technically alive in the NFC South despite their 0-3 start, which means a few wins during Baker's absence could potentially keep Tampa Bay relevant in the division race. But Evan explains why the bigger issue is what happens with Todd Bowles. Tampa Bay cannot simply look at a difficult stretch without Baker and use it as an excuse for the team's performance. The Buccaneers were already 0-3 with Baker as the starter, and Evan argues that the larger problems surrounding Tampa Bay extend beyond the quarterback position. If Jalon Daniels struggles, the Buccaneers' front office needs to separate the quarterback's performance from its evaluation of Bowles. If Daniels unexpectedly plays well, that creates an entirely different conversation. Can Jalon Daniels keep the Buccaneers competitive while Baker Mayfield is out? And what should happen with Todd Bowles if Tampa Bay continues to struggle?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a major defensive problem heading into Week 3 against the Minnesota Vikings, and the numbers show it clearly. Through two games, the Buccaneers have struggled to defend opposing tight ends, allowing 17 receptions, 172 yards and two touchdowns to the position. Evan Winter breaks down why Tampa Bay continues to struggle against tight ends, why Todd Bowles does not believe it is a major issue yet, and why the Buccaneers need to find answers quickly. The biggest concern is not just the production. It is that this has become a recurring issue for Tampa Bay's defense. The Buccaneers have struggled against tight ends in recent seasons, and opposing offenses continue finding success attacking that matchup. A major reason comes down to Todd Bowles' aggressive defensive philosophy. The Buccaneers frequently blitz, which can create pressure but also leaves open areas of the field for athletic tight ends to exploit. The solution may not be simple. Tampa Bay needs to find a way to generate pressure with fewer blitzes while improving execution in coverage. With the Vikings coming up in Week 3, the Buccaneers will have to solve this issue quickly if they want their defense to reach its potential. Do you think Todd Bowles is right that this is not a major concern, or are the numbers telling the real story?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a problem at linebacker, and Alex Anzalone has been a major part of it through the first two weeks of the 2026 NFL season. Evan Winter breaks down Anzalone's struggles and explains why the Buccaneers may have a surprisingly simple solution: move the defensive green dot to Antoine Winfield Jr. and use Anzalone in a more rotational role. Anzalone was brought to Tampa Bay this offseason on a two-year, $17 million contract following Lavonte David's retirement. The expectation was that the veteran linebacker could help fill the void left by David, but his early performance has raised significant questions. The biggest issue has been tackling. Evan cites Pro Football Focus data showing Anzalone has missed 23.5% of his tackles, ranking sixth among qualifying linebackers with at least 93 defensive snaps. Rookie Josiah Trotter is also among the league leaders in missed tackles, but Anzalone's experience makes his struggles particularly concerning. The bigger complication is Anzalone's role as the Buccaneers' green-dot linebacker. That means he is responsible for communicating the defensive calls from the headset and helping get the defense lined up correctly. Simply benching him would therefore create another problem. But Tampa Bay already has a potential solution in Antoine Winfield Jr. Winfield has been in Todd Bowles' defense since being drafted in 2020, has established himself as a leader in the Buccaneers' locker room and rarely leaves the field. Evan explains why Winfield could take over the green-dot responsibilities while Anzalone remains involved as part of a rotation with SirVocea Dennis and Christian Roseboom. The goal would not necessarily be to completely remove Anzalone from the defense. Instead, Tampa Bay could take away the green dot, reduce his workload and see whether a different linebacker combination can improve the second level of the defense. With the Minnesota Vikings coming up in Week 3, the Buccaneers may not have much time to figure things out. Evan explains why Kevin O'Connell's offense could put even more pressure on Tampa Bay's linebackers if the same problems continue. Should the Buccaneers take the green dot away from Alex Anzalone?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 2-9 over their last 11 games dating back to last season, and after another disappointing loss to the Cleveland Browns, the pressure on Todd Bowles is reaching a new level. Evan Winter breaks down just how short Todd Bowles' leash could be with the Buccaneers as Tampa Bay enters a crucial stretch of the 2026 NFL season. The Buccaneers have six NFC games in their next seven games, including matchups against the Minnesota Vikings, Green Bay Packers, Dallas Cowboys, Chicago Bears, Carolina Panthers and Atlanta Falcons. With so many conference and divisional games ahead, Tampa Bay has very little room for error if it wants to remain in the playoff race. Evan explains why the upcoming schedule could ultimately determine Bowles' future in Tampa Bay and why a poor record entering the bye week could force the Buccaneers to make a coaching change. But the argument isn't simply about Tampa Bay's record. Evan examines the recurring problems that have followed the Buccaneers through the first two weeks of the 2026 season, including penalties, missed tackles, busted coverages, poor offensive execution and a pass rush that has struggled to generate pressure. The Buccaneers' four-man pass rush has been particularly concerning. Vita Vea, Yaya Diaby and Rueben Bain Jr. have combined for just two pressures through Week 2, while Tampa Bay has struggled to create pressure without blitzing. When Todd Bowles does send additional pressure, Deshaun Watson was able to take advantage of the openings against Cleveland. Evan also breaks down Tampa Bay's decision-making late against Cleveland, including the decision to kick a field goal instead of going for it on fourth-and-two, and explains why he believes Bowles needs to create a greater sense of urgency inside the organization. With the Vikings up next, the Buccaneers' margin for error is getting smaller. How long do you think Todd Bowles' leash should be in Tampa Bay?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers suffered another disappointing loss in Week 2, and Evan Winter breaks down the biggest problems exposed by the Buccaneers' performance against the Cleveland Browns. After two weeks, the Bucs are dealing with serious questions about Todd Bowles, offensive coordinator Zach Robinson, Baker Mayfield and a pass rush that continues to struggle to generate pressure. Evan starts with Todd Bowles and his approach to correcting the Buccaneers' problems. Tampa Bay's mistakes have continued to pile up, including penalties, turnovers, missed tackles, busted coverages, dropped passes and miscommunication. The concern is that these aren't simply isolated mistakes — they are part of a larger process problem. Zac Robinson also comes under the microscope after another questionable game of offensive play sequencing. The Buccaneers have been able to run the ball effectively at times with Bucky Irving, but the offense continues to move away from the run game and put too much responsibility on Baker Mayfield. Mayfield also struggled again through the air, particularly on deeper throws. The Buccaneers haven't consistently created opportunities downfield, and the combination of poor passing execution and questionable play sequencing has left the offense searching for answers. Defensively, Alex Anzalone is another major concern after struggling in coverage and missing tackles. Evan discusses whether the Buccaneers should consider rotating more players at inside linebacker and potentially moving the green dot to Antoine Winfield Jr. The pass rush is another major problem. Vita Vea, Yaya Diaby and Rueben Bain Jr. combined for just two pressures, with Vea and Bain failing to record a pressure. After all the offseason hype surrounding Bain, the rookie has now gone two games without generating a pressure despite showing tremendous potential during training camp and joint practices. There were a few positives, including Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, Cade Otton, Chase McLaughlin and a Buccaneers secondary that has unexpectedly emerged as one of the better-performing units on the defense. But with the Minnesota Vikings coming to Tampa Bay next week, Evan explains why the Buccaneers have a lot of work to do — and why the problems exposed through two weeks are becoming increasingly difficult to ignore.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are looking for their first win of the 2026 season, and there are three major weaknesses on the Cleveland Browns that Tampa Bay needs to exploit in Week 2. Evan Winter breaks down the three biggest areas the Buccaneers should attack against Cleveland, including the Browns' slot coverage, their pass rush and the Deshaun Watson-led offense. The first matchup to watch is Browns nickel corner Myles Harden against the Buccaneers' slot receivers. Harden was targeted four times in Week 1, and all four targets resulted in completions for 54 yards and a touchdown. With Jalen McMillan expected to return after practicing twice in full capacity, Tampa Bay should have a much deeper group of options from the slot, including Chris Godwin Jr. and Emeka Egbuka. The second weakness is Cleveland's pass rush. The Browns struggled to generate pressure against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 1, with Jared Verse recording zero pressures on 16 pass-rush snaps. If the Buccaneers' offensive line can neutralize Verse and the rest of Cleveland's defensive front, Baker Mayfield should have significantly more time to operate than he did against Cincinnati. Finally, the Buccaneers need to force Deshaun Watson to beat them consistently through the air. Watson's Week 1 numbers can look better at first glance than they actually were, particularly because several of his deep attempts came in obvious passing situations and his longest touchdown pass came in garbage time. Tampa Bay will still need to account for his mobility, including zone reads and quarterback runs, but limiting the easy throws and preventing Watson from creating manageable down-and-distance situations will be critical. Evan also breaks down Tampa Bay's chances of bouncing back after the Week 1 loss to Cincinnati and explains why the Buccaneers have an opportunity to get their season back on track against Cleveland.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are turning the page to Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, but five players in particular need to bounce back after disappointing performances against the Cincinnati Bengals. Evan Winter breaks down the five Buccaneers players who need to step up this week, including Alex Anzalone, Rueben Bain Jr., Cody Mauch, Vita Vea and Cade Otton. Alex Anzalone had seven tackles in Week 1 but failed to make a splash play and was involved in a costly coverage breakdown. Now he faces a Cleveland Browns offense featuring tight end Harold Fannin Jr., who Todd Bowles expects to get his catches. Rueben Bain Jr. also needs a response after a quiet NFL debut. The 15th overall pick finished with just one pressure on 24 pass-rush snaps, and Todd Bowles acknowledged that Bain became frustrated after being stalled and chipped before trying to do too much outside the defensive scheme. On offense, Cody Mauch needs to improve after struggling against Dexter Lawrence and allowing a team-high three pressures. The Buccaneers need better interior offensive line play if they want to give Baker Mayfield the time necessary to operate the offense. Vita Vea also needs a much better performance after returning to the field following his offseason contract standoff. Vea recorded just one pressure on 26 pass-rush snaps and had zero run stops against Cincinnati. With his new contract and importance to Tampa Bay's defense, the Buccaneers need their defensive centerpiece to start making an impact. Finally, Cade Otton needs to bounce back after recording three catches for 26 yards and dropping a pass that contributed to a negative sequence for Tampa Bay. After signing a three-year, $30 million contract with $20 million guaranteed, Otton will be expected to play like a starting tight end who can contribute as both a receiver and blocker.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a problem with Baker Mayfield that goes beyond his turnovers — and it could become a major issue for the offense in 2026. Evan Winter breaks down Baker Mayfield's deep-ball struggles and why the Buccaneers need to see more consistency from their quarterback when throwing 20-plus air-yard passes. Baker has had multiple seasons with below-average deep-ball efficiency during his time in Tampa Bay, and the issue showed up again in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Baker attempted only one pass of 20-plus yards in the game, and that throw was underthrown to a wide-open Emeka Egbuka. The concern becomes even more interesting when looking at the bigger picture. Baker has generally had relatively clean pockets on his deep throws, meaning pressure hasn't always been the explanation for his struggles. Tampa Bay needs explosive plays from its passing game, and if Baker can't consistently connect on opportunities down the field, it could put a ceiling on what the Buccaneers offense can become. Evan also breaks down the encouraging injury updates coming out of Tampa Bay, including Jacob Parrish, Jalen McMillan and Sean Tucker all participating in practice. Getting Parrish back would be especially important for a Buccaneers secondary that has already dealt with injuries, while McMillan's return could give Baker another legitimate weapon and create more room for Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin. Sean Tucker also provides valuable depth behind Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. Can Baker Mayfield fix his deep-ball issues? And which of the injury updates is most important for the Buccaneers?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers lost their Week 1 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, but the game revealed both exciting developments and major concerns. In this Buccaneers winners and losers breakdown, Evan Winter analyzes the biggest takeaways from Tampa Bay's 33-27 loss, including rookie linebacker Josiah Trotter's historic debut, Baker Mayfield's struggles, Emeka Egbuka's strong performance, Bucky Irving's return to form, and the biggest concerns facing the Bucs moving forward. Josiah Trotter was the clear bright spot, becoming the first NFL rookie since sacks became an official stat in 1982 to record both a pick-six and a sack in his debut. The rookie linebacker finished with 10 tackles, a sack, interception returned for a touchdown, two tackles for loss, a quarterback hit and a pass breakup. But Tampa Bay also had several disappointing performances. Baker Mayfield's three fumbles proved costly, Alexander Loney struggled in the middle of the defense, the Buccaneers pass rush failed to consistently pressure Joe Burrow, and the offensive line struggled against Cincinnati's defensive front. Plus, Evan breaks down the performances of Emeka Egbuka, Bucky Irving, Benjamin Morrison and the Buccaneers secondary. Who was your biggest winner and loser from Buccaneers vs Bengals?
