ORIGINAL: marty You're both right, it was a combination of the Bucs' players in their 2ndary, and up front heavily studied Mahome's tendencies. It wasn't really elite players. You could have plugged Barr or Kendricks in there, and they would have been making plays. Stick Griffin or Hunter, or Joseph of 2 years ago, and they would have been making plays with the Bucs. Stick Rhodes, or even Waynes in there, have them do mega studying of Mahome's tendencies, and with the pressure up front, they would have been making plays in the SB. Nobody thinks it is either one or the other. Well ... except for Brad. Not true. It works in concert. But if you can't cover, you got now shot in this era. And if you can't pressure the QB, you get slaughtered in this era. I agree. But an average d-lineman can look good with great corners. Ask New England, who barely had a d-lineman you could name for years but always had a great defense. Offenses have changed. The ball gets out so quickly that even a great defensive lineman has no chance if the offense is clicking.
