As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers returned to practice Tuesday after their bye week, coach Raheem Morris was asked for an overview of the NFC South.

“It’s all clumped up in the NFC South,’’ Morris said. “(There is a) 'Somebody has to do it. Why not us?’' mentality in our locker room.’’

Morris has a point. The Saints are 5-3. The Bucs and Falcons each are 4-3. The Bucs play the Saints on Sunday. The Falcons play the Saints the following week. But Morris went a step further and included the Carolina Panthers in the mix.

“It is exactly what we thought it was going to be,’’ Morris said. “It is a fight. You got Atlanta , New Orleans and Carolina. The best 2-6 team I have seen in the NFL. I got a chance to watch a little bit of that game as a fan and (Cam Newton) is scary. Steve Smith, he is back. I guess he is back because I didn’t know he went anywhere.’’

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
