Buccaneers vs. Titans: 3 players to watch
By Ryan Doyle
The Buccaneers continue their preseason slate against the Titans. Here are three players to watch in their Week 2 matchup.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into their second preseason game on a high after putting together a dramatic win over the Miami Dolphins.
Tampa Bay gave a strong first impression and after a few days of joint practices with the Titans this week, the team hopes for a repeat performance.
As injuries piled up along the offensive line, the Bucs still managed to move the ball down the field with ease. Each of the Tampa quarterbacks led successful drives and were in rhythm with their receivers.
Defensively, rookie defensive backs stole the show. The performance of Carlton Davis, M.J. Stewart and Jordan Whitehead can make defensive coordinator Mike Smith breathe a little easier.
During the week, the Bucs and Titans held joint practices in Nashville. The Tampa Bay receivers stole the show and picked on Malcolm Butler to create some jaw-dropping highlights. Tampa Bay got their money’s worth in the trenches this week.
The Titans feature some of the league’s best linemen on both sides of the ball, and it provided a unique test for the big bodies up front.
After a strong start to the preseason and a tough week of practice, here are five players to keep an eye on during Buccaneer-Titans.
