NFL Week 4 News: Looking At The Buccaneers Strategy Against The Panthers

What kind of style will the Tampa Bay Buccaneers employ against the Carolina Panthers when both teams meet Monday at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Florida?

Apparently the Buccaneers seem to be having some sort of identity crisis, blowing hot and cold against their previous opponents.

The Bucs suffered a blowout loss to the Titans initially and then came back strong against the Saints.

Just recently, Tampa Bay was sent back crashing once again by Houston as the Bucs continued to show signs of struggles. So if the trend is to be followed, would this mean the Bucs will be scoring one over the Panthers?

Well it could all depend. For one thing, the Panthers are not just any team – they are perfect at 3-0 thus far. Add to that the fact that Tampa Bay has yet to win at home under coach Lovie Smith and the odds don’t seem to stack up all to well for them.

But then again, a wise game plan could tilt the tide in their favor. And perhaps it would be best to take special notice of two key Panthers – quarterback Cam Newton and tight end Greg Olsen. Disrupt the connection and then the Bucs could get a chance of snagging one over undefeated Carolina.

But defense is not the only angle they have to address. They need to provide support to their rookie quarterback, Jameis Winston. With the right adjustments and game plan, the Bucs could end up with a smooth offensive flow that should work to their advantage.

While their defensive stance could pretty much holdup if they check Newton and Olsen, the fact remains that unless their offensive line hums, all that will be for naught. That includes limiting the errors which, if unchecked, could lead to another costly loss.
