Preseason Week One - Bucs @ Bengals

[ravishingone]

Not really surprised about the game outside of Aguayo.   I'll be curious to see as the regular season approaches if Koetter starts to ramp up the hitting in practice.  I think that is the plan.  If the offense can have good health,  a defense trying to play man coverage against them is going to lead to a bunch of explosive plays.

You see the potential with our offense. We need to do a better job finishing in the red zone. Its the first preseason game but aggravating they still are having issues with that. Our D is still bend but don't break. Hats off to VH3 for the nice read and pick to halt the Bengals drive on the 1. Overall we can't give up that kind of yardage as a defense though. Kwon had 5 tackles on that first drive alone!

Agreed the offense looked on the right path until the redzone where Jameis missed on two throws with the same exact look. But overall, for a first preseason game it's what you expect, inconsistent play in the trenches, and mistiming on some passes but overall not upset with the product. On to week 2

Howard did a really nice job of sealing the back side leaving the RB one on one computer with safely.   The guy is the complete package.
