Akeem Spence who missed the first half of the 2015 season with a back injury, is ready to return and is excited about the Tampa defense. “I can tell you all of us up front especially are excited. The young guys like Noah Spence coming in and then just this defense. Lots of different pieces, a lot of different looks we are showing people. Guys are really excited about it and we are out here giving our offense fits with the different looks.”– Quote from an interview Spence conducted with Mark Cook of Pewter Report
He owes a lot of that confidence to the new defensive coordinator Mike Smith, and how the change in the defensive scheme will be something for the players to look forward to. “That is me tipping my hat to Coach Smith and the staff. We have been able to learn this defense twice from OTAs to minicamp. Guys are picking it up well. Learning the rules and now we are just rolling. Now we are playing ball. Now we can fine tune it. We have six weeks off, then we come back for training camp, fine tune it and start playing ball games.”– Quote from an interview Spence conducted with Mark Cook of Pewter Report
Fans and players alike are excited about the upcoming season and hopefully, this is the season we finally get to see some post season action. Quotes
