The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are expected to do little in 2023, but one player has different thoughts on what others think.
The Buccaneers are a team that has lost quite a bit, including the greatest player ever, Tom Brady. They are expected to compete for something other than the Lombardi Trophy like they have the last few years.
The Buccaneers can still be a good team in 2023 and may shock the world. Their stud cornerback Carlton Davis definitely thinks they will turn some heads, as he had a powerful message for the rest of the league.
"We're about to do it to 'em," Carlton Davis told Tyler Dunne. "Anybody who feels we've lost Tom — and lost something — is going to be in for a rude awakening. A rude awakening. Tom was a great addition to us, but obviously, it's a team sport. Obviously, you need components to be successful. We still have those components. And I'm only getting better."
The Buccaneers were a decent team before Tom Brady. They were not near a championship contender, but they were a team that could have made the playoffs had a few other things been different.
Brady didn't win that Super Bowl all by himself. The defense was amazing, and they are also expected to be pretty good in 2023.
"A lot of times, we would do stuff, and because Tom is the greatest player to ever play the game, a lot of credit would go toward him being here," Davis said. "Now, it gives us a chance to be independently great. People can't say, 'Oh, it's Covid.' Or, 'Oh, it's because Tom was there.' They've got to give us the credit. That's something we're fighting for."
That's a powerful message that should scare some of the league. The Buccaneers aren't taking 2023 off just because they lost Tom Brady. They are coming for it all, and even if they don't get it, they damn sure won't be a pushover.
