The Tampa Bay Buccaneers aim to advance to a 2-0 record when they take on the Houston Texans on “Monday Night Football.” However, it appears the club is experiencing injury woes on the offensive line that could spell trouble for quarterback Baker Mayfield.
Which i think was likely always the most probable explanation.
Brady wasn't inevitable. Belichick wasn't either, Vinatieri, assorted other support actors. It all needed to come together to create a dynasty.
Bucs G Mike Jordan, elevated from practice squad, started and played every snap in the opener, said he wasn't on the couch when Bucs called with an offer at start of training camp. He was at the Cincinnati Zoo with his family, by the manatees. "It's a blessing from God," he said.
Not only is Bucs corner Zyon McCollum from Galveston, an hour from Houston, but he played four games at Houston's NRG Stadium when he was at Sam Houston State. The "Battle of the Piney Woods" rivalry with Stephen F. Austin is played there, and he went 4-0, with an INT in 2021.
Bucs safety Rashad Wisdom, on having two tackles on kickoff coverage in his NFL debut Sunday: "It was a dope experience, something I've been looking forward to a long time. I'm really glad we got the win. If we would have come out with the L, I would have felt a lot different."
Video: Bucs corner Zyon McCollum is excited to play another game close to home in Houston on Monday. Between him and Mike Evans, he said “I’m sure the entire city of Galveston will be in attendance.”
Bucs assistant Larry Foote on OLB Haason Reddick: "He was fast. We know he's a mismatch for a lot of guys with his speed, his power. I'm impressed. He's a little man, but he has power. He brings juice and energy and I think guys are feeding off that."
