Lack of Leadership in Buccaneers Camp Exposed as Unlikely Figure Emerges as Instigator of Mike Evans’ Punch That Got Him Ejected; How Did Tom Brady and More Expose Todd Bowles’ Lack of Leadership?

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.

In a video shared by Barstool Sports, one can see Bruce Arians on the sidelines. When the brawl began, the Ex-head coach asked Mike Evans to go onto the field and defend Tom Brady. According to Total Pro Sports, Arians mentioned, “Hey Mike, get out there.”

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.

However, from the offensive stance, Todd Bowles has failed to impress. Indeed, he has Tom Brady and some great offensive behemoths in the mix. 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.

Tampa Bay has a long way to go and a lot of situations to address. Will they clinch the Lombardi under Todd Bowles? It is subject to witness.
