With the exception of 2021 season when they were simply average, Tampa has had a terrible rushing attack since 2016. Three different HCs, different players - but results are almost constant.
This season they stink again. What is the reason behind it? Draft choice strategy prioritizing passing?
I’m curious if Jordan Mailata is the Wilt Chamberlain of Samoan ancestry with his incredible blend of size and athleticism, because if more teams could find someone like that, everyone’s run game would be much better.
