The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a lot to figure out before their Week 11 matchup with the New York Giants, including who will run the offense.

Offensive coordinator Todd Monken said Thursday it hasn't been decided who will call offensive plays during Sunday's game, according to PewterReport. He also said head coach Dirk Koetter is "the best offensive coach and the best offensive play-caller he's ever been around."

Monken had been the primary play-caller to start the season, but Koetter took over against the Washington Redskins last week.

Tampa Bay outgained the Redskins by 215 total yards but it didn't translate to points on the board as the Buccaneers lost 16-3.

"It stinks. It is execution. It has nothing to do with who is calling the plays. It is frustrating, for the players and for all of us," Monken said, according to WFLA's Gabrielle Shirley.

Tampa Bay's 452.8 total offensive yards per game and 361.2 passing yards per game are both first in the NFL. Their defense has given up more than 400 yards on seven occasions this season.

The Buccaneers currently sit last in the NFC South with a 3-6 record.
