Bucs reinforce Donahoe faith in balance
"There's still nothing wrong with offense," Donahoe said. "But it speaks to the fact that you've got to have balanced offense. For some reason, the Raiders got into the mind-set where they didn't have to run the football; they didn't even have to try. They got away with it for a while, but it caught up to them Sunday.
"To me, it's not sound football. You have to be balanced, and you have to be good on defense. In both respects, Oakland was a bit of a flawed team. Their defense got better, but it was never a dominating defense. It's almost a classic case again of a run-and-shoot offense that sooner or later is going to come undone."
Nice to know we're not just going to rely on offense. I'd take a #1 defense over a #1 offense any day of the week.
