To start the offseason and run up to the 2012 NFL Draft we take a look at the current Defensive unit roster. After finishing in the Top 10 in points allowed per game in 2010, the 2011 edition dropped to dead last in the league giving up a ludicrous 30.9 points per game to the opposition. The collapse of the team at the end of the season resulted in opponents scoring more than 40 points in three of the last four games of the year and the defensive squad finishing 30th in total yards surrendered (394.4 yards per game). Tampa Bay was dead last in the NFL against the run giving up 156.1 rushing yards per game.
