Preseason - Week 1 - Buccaneers, news and observations


Recommended Posts

With two joint practices scheduled before each of the last 2 preseason games, the game next Saturday will likely to be the only one to feature established starters out there. If Burrow throws more than one pass against Tampa Bay, it will at least double the total number he's thrown in preseason games in his entire career COMBINED. 

 

By comparison Mahomes threw 17 passes in the 2023 preseason alone.

Geoff Hobson on Friday's practice:

 

SLANTS AND SCREENS: Charlie Jones is having a nice week to join the impressive play of Jackson and Andrei Iosivas. There have been plenty of snaps to be had with Chase and Higgins being managed and Burton sitting out with an ankle tweak.

On Thursday, Zac Taylor said he showed the offense the tape of a Jones play from earlier in the week where he read the safeties to convert a big play down the middle against Cover 2.

On Friday, Jones tracked down that Burrow Go Ball despite tight coverage by Newton and appeared to hold on despite both rolling on the grass after the play. Newton wasn't so sure he held on and, as Hilton said, "If he did, that's a heck of a catch." …

A few glances at the one-on-one pass-rush drill saw a nice vet-rookie matchup with vet right guard Alex Cappa going against third-rounder Mckinnley Jackson. Cappa got him on the first set and Jackson came back to rock him under the chin and move him back …Left tackle Orlando Brown Jr., used his hands to fend off Joseph Ossai and rookie right tackle Amarius Mims, back after sitting out Thursday's practice, bodied up Myles Murphy as their talented first-round battles continue …

So the Big man is at an acceptable weight?

I'm thinking he may have been pushing 375 and they wanted him in camp 20 lbs lighter...

 

Glad he's ready to practice plus it gave Mims time to open coaches eyes on his abilities.
