Josh Grizzard: Bucs Can Have A Better Offense
May 22nd, 2025
Bucs OC Josh Grizzard.
Last year the Bucs had the No. 4 scoring offense in the league, averaging 29.5 points a game. Pretty good, huh?
Well, new Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard thinks that can be improved.
When Dave Canales took the offense in 2023, it had been awful under ill-suited Byron Leftwich. Leftwich and Tom Brady scored but 18.4 points a game, 25th-best in the NFL.
Then Liam Coen took over from Canales and inherited a slightly better yet disappointing offense that averaged 20.5 points a game, 20th in the NFL. So improving on a No. 4 offense seems to be a bit of a task.
One reason Grizzard thinks the Bucs can do it because players are not learning a new offense.
“What we’ve been harping on is that — even though in different categories, it was a good statistical year — at the end of the day, points per game can always go up,” Grizzard said. “Essentially, everything can go up. And through our fundamentals and techniques and asking the right questions and pushing the guy beside you,” the offense can improve.
And since Grizzard is just fine-tuning, he can focus on individual improvement that will lead to team growth.
“What can we do individually this time of the year, to improve fundamentals?” Grizzard said. “Because then that will allow for us to make a deeper run in the playoffs and score points.”
If Grizzard can improve the Bucs’ scoring offense, buckle up, folks. A top-two Bucs offense and a Super Bowl push would have Joe thinking the Bucs will be seeking their fifth offensive coordinator in as many years come February.
