The arrival of Tom Brady for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will drastically change the landscape of their offense in more ways than one. In a conference call with reporters, Bruce Arians explained how Brady will change Tampa Bay's offense in 2020.
“I think, probably, our audible system, our check-with-me stuff, where the quarterback puts us in the best plays,” Arians said on Thursday's video conference call with reporters. “We didn't do a lot of them. We did some of that last year, not a lot of it. It's something that he's very comfortable with. So I think that part of it and the no-huddle stuff, getting good in two-minute quick and some of those. I think 1st-and-10, that'll take care of itself. I mean, he's going to know the concepts, he's going to know that stuff and the situational football — third down, red zone, two minute and the no-huddle stuff.”
Prior to joining the Buccaneers, Brady spent 20 seasons with the New England Patriots. While with the Patriots, especially in the latter part of his career, Brady had more control over New England's offense.
Due to his experience in the NFL, Arians doesn't believe it will take Brady long to adjust to Tampa Bay's offense. At the same time, Arians wants to allow the 42-year-old quarterback to be comfortable in the offense by allowing him to make certain calls. On Thursday, Arians revealed that Tampa Bay will run their base offense out of 12 personnel.
Just a season ago, the Buccaneers boasted one of the best passing offenses in the NFL, led by Jameis Winston. Now, with Brady leading the charge under center, Arians expects to give the veteran signal-caller free rein in the offense.
