Antonio Bryant's red zone proposal

WR Antonio Bryant, asked about the Bucs' red zone struggles this season, offered a potential solution: throw him the ball a bit more.

"I would like to be involved more in the red zone, to be honest," Bryant said. "I'm quite sure a lot of the receivers would like to be involved more. But we have our designated plays that we're going to run and hopefully we're going to execute them a lot better. Unfortunately, we've been in the redzone many a time. It's not like we're not getting there. We just have to capitalize. The biggest thing is to just consistently score touchdowns."

That's something the Bucs haven't done too frequently inside opponents' 20-yard lines. Tampa Bay has scored 18 touchdowns in 51 trips inside the redzone (35.3 percent). That pales in comparison to their opponents, who have scored 14 touchdowns in 28 visits to the redzone (50 percent).
