Why Tampa Bay Buccaneers are consistently bad at rushing? (alien.top)

Tampa rushing yards per attempt with league ranks:

2023: 3.1 (32nd)

2022: 3.4 (32nd)

2021: 4.3 (15th)

2020: 4.1 (25th)

2019: 3.7 (27th)

2018: 3.9 (31st)

2017: 3.7 (27th)

2016: 3.6 (29th)

With the exception of 2021 season when they were simply average, Tampa has had a terrible rushing attack since 2016. Three different HCs, different players - but results are almost constant.

This season they stink again. What is the reason behind it? Draft choice strategy prioritizing passing?

Long story short they had people running “fuck it chuck it” offenses for several years, always seem to have at least one major flaw on the o line, and have focused more picks/FAs on the passing game instead.
