I Don’t Want to Take All the Credit: Buccaneers’ Devin Irving Credits His Success to His Teammates
Despite his recent success, Buccaneers running back Devin Irving is hesitant to take all the credit. According to Irving, his recent success is due to his teammates on the offensive line, who have been “getting the job done up front.” Irving believes he needs to do something special for his teammates for Christmas as a token of appreciation.
Irving’s usage has increased in recent weeks, with offensive coordinator Liam Cohen using “pony packages” to get Irving and Rachaad White on the field together. This dual-threat approach has helped to stress defenses, with Irving praising the flexibility it offers. “21” personnel, which features two running backs, is a favorite of Cohen’s, allowing for a variety of plays and schemes to be executed.
Irving’s contributions have been instrumental in keeping the Buccaneers in contention for the NFC South title. At 6-6, they sit behind Atlanta due to losing the tiebreaker, but they have a favorable schedule ahead, facing just one team with a winning record in their final five games.
