The Buccaneers and Titans will take the field Saturday in Nashville marking the second game of the preseason for each club respectively. Both of these teams had joint practices this week that featured short fuses by players. But those moments did not escalate to anything more.
As the Bucs continue to prepare for the regular season, we should see more from the starters on Saturday. After the first team played a few series last week, they should see an increased workload in Nashville well into the second quarter. That means we’ll more than likely see a lot of Ryan Fizaptarick, Mike Evans, Gerald McCoy, and some others. The good thing is that it means the same for Tennessee. It’ll be a much better test than last week.
Both sides of the ball will be tested due to the Titans’ secondary and their offense behind Marcus Mariota. The former Oregon star is a threat both on the ground and through the air.
We’ll see how ready Tampa Bay truly is.
