Absolutely! The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are a way better team than anyone gives them credit for being. A couple of rookie mistakes and a crappy kicker in the first 4 gamesĀ gave way to our 2-3 record. And we are the best 2-3 team in the NFL. I think it is even safe to say, we are better than most 4-2 and 4-1 teams.
“I look around at our guys ā Iām not even going to talk about Gerald [McCoy] and Lavonte [David] ā but you look at Jacquies [Smith], heās one of the tops in the league in sacks. You look at George [Johnson], the plays heās made. Look at Kwon Alexander and especially Bradley McDougald and the plays heās making and the things heās done. Then youāve got me, Mike [Jenkins], Tim [Jennings], Vern [Alterraun Verner] ā I honestly think we have a top-five defense.āIf you look at these guysā history and their pasts, that tells you we have a top five defense and we can be the best defense in the league if we really go out and put it together.āĀ -JohnthanĀ Banks v.i.a Eric Horchy
