I've been thinking about this for a bit. I think it's too early to draw any conclusions, but it might be good to chew on a few things.
I looked up who Freddie has coached for. He's worked under some big names like Parcells and Saban. But according to this article, his biggest coaching influence was Bruce Arians.

https://thepewterplank.com/2019/01/12/buccaneers-what-to-expect-from-bruce-arians-offense/For those that don't want to take the time to read it, I will provide a few takeaways:
--Runs a lot of vertical routes
--Takes a lot of shots down the field
--Plays take time to develop
--Utilizes quirky formations
--Puts a lot of pressure on the defense because they have to respect the deep passes
--Runs a lot of deep post routes and double-moves on the outside. The words "quite extraordinary" were used
--Has a knack of calling the right play at the right time.
What was not said in that article was that BA does not favor max-protection. Obviously, that puts a lot of pressure on the OL. It also means that your qb better process information quickly. Those two items are the reason I started the Offensive Scheme thread.
Now, I realize that a lot of people want to draw conclusions immediately and not give adequate time for things to evolve, so I will say that Freddie has been using more 12 and 13 Personnel after he realized that protection was a problem and that his qb was not processing things quickly.
