Tampa Bay Buccaneers Lack of Edge Rush Could Lead to Team Missing Playoffs in 2024
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something in 2023 that not many people thought they would do — they made the playoffs. Not only did they make the playoffs for a team that was supposed to be picking within the top five of this past April's NFL draft, but they went on to win their Wild Card round game against the Philadelphia Eagles who had just made it to the Super Bowl themselves the year prior.
The Bucs' starting edge defenders are currently slated to be Yaya Diaby and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka, who wouldn’t have ranked among the top 30 edge defenders in regular-season QB pressures even if you combined their output." The Bucs sack % in 2023 was just at 7.14%, good for 17th in the league, and they had a total of 48 sacks amongst them. It is difficult to see Tampa Bay improving in this area, but with a jump from Yaya Diaby and even a bit more improved Joe Tryon-Shoyinka in a contract year should help.
