BR’s Buccaneers Christmas Wish List
Tork Mason / USA TODAY NETWORK / USA TODAY NETWORK

It’s that time of year again Buccaneers fans. Trees are being trimmed, presents being wrapped and loved ones traveling here and there to meet up for the Christmas holiday.

Have you gotten all of your Christmas shopping done? Did you make sure to make out a Christmas wish list for Santa? While we can’t help you with your shopping list, we CAN give you our Christmas wish list for the Buccaneers.

JT Olson, Lead Analyst 

The holidays are often about giving and receiving material things, but we often lose track of the fact that it’s what’s on the inside that really counts. In that spirit, I am not asking for anything new with my Bucs Christmas wish list. Instead, I am asking that the Buccaneers figure out who they are on the inside and develop a logical identity. Do they want to be an aggressive press man defense or keep pushing towards more zone coverage? Do they want to be a running team or use the pass to open up the run? On paper, the Bucs are still one of the most talented teams in the NFC. If they can figure out who it is they really want to be and can utilize that talent to their ability, then I believe we will have a very happy new year!

My Xmas wish list is for Dave Canales to use the strength of his offense which is the pass to set up the run. I would like to see Canales utilize Mayfield’s legs for more play action, rollouts, and spread offense to where Baker Mayfield can thrive by throwing on the run and to receivers in stride. Canales must understand that the passing game will ultimately create opportunities for the run game to thrive due to defenses having to keep the box light with the fear of a passing attack. The Bucs passing game can also create bigger leads early in the game where the defense will not have to play so cautious and perfect and will be able to pin their ears back and rush. These offensive plays I have come up with is my gift to Canales. Crank this offense the BUC up! Go Bucs!

Dear Santa,

I’ve asked for a lot of things and my life. I know that, but this one may be the most difficult of all for you to deliver. At some point or other in my life, I have said “all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth” i’ve asked for a bicycle and even a computer, but this may be overreaching. I just want Buccaneers fans to really act like Buccaneers fans. To understand that it’s OK to be happy and root for your team. Stop complaining and count your blessings. That it’s OK to be critical, but balance it out with some positive positive.

Yes, I know… Now I’ve gone way too far. You can cover the entire world in one night visiting every house but this… This is over the line.

Now I’m gonna get a stocking full of coal.
