The Saints vs. Buccaneers game delivered to the hype. It is not in playing productivity but in trash-talking and on-field brawls. The game saw Mike Evans and Marshon Lattimore fight with an unlikely figure provoking the WR to dive in. Since the season took flight, the Buccaneers stand undefeated. However, it raises some questions about Todd Bowles’ leadership capacities. Did he fail to establish command?
The Week 2 game saw the Tampa Bay defense moving rampant over the Saints. However, both teams have a grueling rivalry that goes long back. Especially Evans and Lattimore throwing hands led to all athletes diving into the chaos. However, a video showcases a prominent Buccaneers figure, Ex-Bucs HC Bruce Arians, telling the WR to save Tom Brady.

After that moment, Evans took off from the sidelines and shoved Lattimore to the ground. He had a heated interaction with Tom Brady and Leonard Fournette. Moreover, in another video shared by FOX Sports: NFL, the Bucs sideline also had some verbal exchange after a play. It indicates how instead of Bowles, Arians made the apparent call.
The referees dismissed Mike Evans and Lattimore from the play for inciting the incident but neutralized all other penalties. It is not the first instance that got the two players out of the game for fighting each other.
Did HC Todd Bowles fail to provide sufficient supervision and advancement?
The Mike Evans-Marshon Lattimore brawl hints at how the team lacked discipline during the games. As far as the team’s productivity and innovation stand, Todd Bowles’ work raise concerns at specific points. Bowles is a defensive-minded coach, and he built it in a way to look assertive. The franchise’s defense has developed under the new HC, and the power led to an undefeated start. Tampa Bay’s defending system is a top-tier unit.

But since Bowles took over, the Buccaneers’ offense has scored a touchdown in six quarters, according to Rick Stroud. They tried to fill in the offense during the offseason. But Brady’s division has failed to progress because of an injury plague.
