Bucs OC Josh Grizzard.
Joe gets this question a lot from Bucs fans. Some get frustrated with Joe, maybe because they had different ideas in their noggins.
What is the new offense like under Josh Grizzard?
The new Bucs offensive coordinator isn’t dumb. He has an Ivy League degree. And the Bucs offense was superb last season. Why would anyone want to change?
Grizzard sure doesn’t. But what he is doing is adding to the Bucs offense from last year.
Joe has spoken to several players about this. The following is a nutshell of what the Bucs offense is this fall.
The base offense of the Bucs is the 2024 Bucs offense. There will just be some new tweaks. They are building off of what former Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen built.
For example, think of a huge box. That box is the Bucs 2024 offense. So what Grizzard is doing is taking that box, and adding some little boxes on top of the big box.
The little boxes include new additions and new plays. Both the big box and the little boxes on top are the Bucs’ 2025 offense.
A word Joe has heard a lot from players and coaches is “diverse.” Last year, the Bucs offense was a dink-and-dunk offense, no matter how peeved Coen got at Joe for typing that. Rarely did the Bucs throw passes over 20 yards.
Grizzard, though he doesn’t want to stray from Coen’s offense much, wants at least the option of doing some different things, including throwing deep from time to time.
Grizzard thinks the Bucs have the weapons to stretch the field a little more. He wants to be able to use those options if a situation presents itself to be able to use those options.
So don’t worry. This year’s offense will largely be the same as last year’s. Grizzard just wants to add more tools to the toolbox.
What can we expect to see from the Bucs new OC, AKA "The Grizzard Experience"? ™️😂
Mike Evans says it's a similar offense "but with his new wrinkles — and I like those new wrinkles.” 🔥@heykayadams | @MikeEvans13_ | @Buccaneers #WeAreTheKrewe pic.twitter.com/IJodaC3vwB
