Joe already wrote a few nuggets from when legendary Bucs linebacker Lavonte David sat down with another Tampa Bay legend to talk ball and life. But wait, there’s more!
That other local legend is Buccaneers Ring of Honor head coach Jon Gruden, aka Chucky.
Their [Barstool Sports sitdown](https://www.barstoolsports.com/blog/3545901/jon-gruden-talking-ball-with-lavonte-david-is-must-watch-for-real-buccaneers-fans) was a highlight of the offseason.
During that chat, Chucky told David the Todd Bowles defense “works” because it’s unorthodox and can do a lot of things. Chucky, however, asked David is he thinks the Bucs have enough talent and depth to get back to the Super Bowl and win it.
> “I believe so. I think so. Not I believe so. I know so,” David said. “Me being the leader, me being the oldest guy on the defense, I put it on myself. And I know we got the tools to get ourselves over the hump. The guys are motivated and the guys are going to be ready. I’ll make sure they are.”
David went on to blame the Bucs defense for a chunk of losses last season.
Do the Bucs have enough defensive talent get back to the Super Bowl? Joe could probably answer that in October.
As for the offense, David was beaming with pride when Chucky gushed about their talent and depth. “And everybody has the same mindset, a dawg mentality,” David said.
