Buccaneers' Rushing Attack Seeks to Sustain Breakout 2024 Season
27 Aug
Summary
- Buccaneers' run game was a key part of their success in 2024
- Backfield depth could lead to reduced individual stats but overall team success
- New offensive coordinator must maintain 2024's exceptional rushing production

As the 2025 NFL season approaches, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are focused on sustaining the success of their rushing attack. In 2024, the Buccaneers' ground game was a key part of their overall offensive success, ranking 4th in the league with 2,536 yards and averaging a robust 5.2 yards per carry.
The Buccaneers enter the new season with the same talented backfield, led by 1,000-yard rusher Bucky Irving. However, the team's depth at the position, with Rachaad White and Sean Tucker also proving capable, could lead to a more even distribution of touches. While individual statistics may dip slightly, the Buccaneers' priority is ensuring their rushing attack remains a dominant force.
The biggest challenge will be maintaining last season's exceptional production under new offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard, following the departure of Liam Coen. The Buccaneers' coaching staff and players will need to work in sync to ensure the run game does not regress. If they can build on 2024's success, the Buccaneers' rushing attack will be a key factor in their quest for a championship in 2025.
