The Facts: After finishing 2-14 with one of the league’s worst offenses, the Bucs replaced Marcus Arroyo with a proven NFL OC in Dirk Koetter, and the one player who could benefit the most is Seferian-Jenkins, who is expected to be featured in Tampa Bay’s new offense. “Obviously not having the offensive coordinator here that signed up for the job not being here due to health issues was not good,” Seferian-Jenkins said. We still had the time to get it going, though, but we are looking forward to next year. It’s 2015 now.”
Diehards Line:According to PewterReport.com's Scott Reynolds, Seferian-Jenkins will be a featured weapon in Koetter’s offense and he should return to the form he showed in Washington when he hauled in 146 catches for 1,840 yards and 21 touchdowns in three seasons for the Huskies. Koetter has the reputation for maximizing the abilities of his TEs. During his coaching career at Arizona State, Koetter helped tight end Zach Miller become an All-American and break Todd Heap’s Sun Devils records with 144 passes for 1,512 yards and 14 touchdowns. After leaving ASU for Jacksonville, Koetter helped Marcedes Lewis have two of his best seasons, catching 32 passes for 518 yards (16.2 avg.) and two touchdowns in 2009 and hauling in 58 receptions for 700 yards and 10 TDs in 2010. While he was 36 and 37, Tony Gonzalez had two of his most productive seasons in his illustrious NFL career with the Falcons in Koetter’s offense, catching 93 passes for 930 yards and eight touchdowns in 2012 and finishing with 83 receptions for 859 yards and eight scores in 2013. ... Bottom line? It's safe to assume Seferian-Jenkins will play a large role in helping the Buccaneers win in 2015.
