Three Bold Moves Tampa Bay Buccaneers Made in the 2023 Offseason | General Sports

This summer, the Buccaneers did more than just change things on the field. The team added some players who could make a big difference, and it also made some important changes on the bench.

The most important hire was Dave Canales, who took over as offense coordinator from Byron Leftwich. He came from the Seattle Seahawks, who have been successful for more than a decade. The Bucs hope that he can bring some of that attitude to Tampa Bay. We want to talk about one of Canales' hires.

Skip Peete was hired as the new coach for the running backs. It was a quiet hire, but it could be the most important thing the team did all summer. He came from the Dallas Cowboys, where he made Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard the best running backs in the game.

This is the pitch: the coach of the best running back duo in the NFL is coming to fix the NFL's most embarrassing running game.

It would be easy for Peete to do, but the long-term effects could be big. This year, Rachaad White is the RB1 and is set to have a big season. Chase Edmonds joined the team as a free agent, and he takes with him a lot of experience. Ke'Shawn Vaughn is still here as well, and since this is his contract year, he has a reason to improve his worth.

All of this means that a team that had one of the worst rushing attacks in the league last year will now have one of the best in the league. With Peete, White could become a star at RB for the Bucs whilst working with Canales to revitalize the team's offense totally.

We shouldn't forget that the Seahawks liked to collect running backs like rare coins and use them well. When you add that from Canales to what Peete brings to the table, the Bucs are suddenly cooking.
