Dirk Koetter says Buccaneers have one major area of focus this week

Published Nov. 18, 2015 1:02 p.m. ET

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have done a lot of very good things over the past few weeks, but one thing that seems to have slowed down a bit is their run game.

Starting with three games ago against the Atlanta Falcons, we've seen Doug Martins' yards per carry drop to the likes of 3.1, 2.8 and 3.5. During that span, Martin never topped 71 yards.

While Charles Sims had a nice game against the New York Giants, rushing eight times for 78 yards, he failed to top 22 yards in either of the other two games.

It's obviously not a massive cause for concern just yet, but offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter said that the team is still focused in a big way on getting the run game going again, according to Scott Smith of Buccaneers.com.

How this extra focus impacts Tampa Bay's run game in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles will be interesting to watch.
