A lot of money is tied up in these guys, yet the Bucs secondary has not excelled thus far.
Mark Barron, a former top-10 pick, is adequate as strong safety, though he has never quite developed into the impact player the Bucs expected. AndAlterraun Vernerhas proven worth the four-year, $25.75 million deal he signed this offseason.
Other than that, the Bucs have an empty cupboard.Johnthan Banksis a huge liability despite being the starting corner. The Ravens absolutely need to pick on him.
Dashon Goldsonwas a high-priced free agent from San Francisco, but he has never been a great cover guy at safety. His struggles have continued this season.
The Ravens have a chance to shred this secondary, especially considering the Bucs minimal pass rush.Joe Flaccocould have a very big game.
