It's the Jaguars, on the road, which is never a good combination for the Bucs, pre or regular season.
I expect a physical game. I also expect QB Jeff Garcia to play most, if not all of the first quarter. I will be looking for at least one sustained drive that scores points.
It's also time to get the tight ends involved in the offense. I also hope to see what RB Kenneth Darby can do with the first team. He may not get the chance.
Defensively, I expect a turnover. All I ask is for one, by the fisrt team defense. I will also be looking for a vast improvement on the fornt four QB pressure. They need to start shoing something now.
I would also like to S Sabby Piscatelli in action. He's looked REALLY good in camp.
My main concern is that this is the time of the preseason the players are as sore as they'll be before the season starts. I don't want to see someone get hurt out there because they lolly-gagged on a play or two because this baby doesn't count. We'l also get a good look at who is mentally tough on this team. With most of the team working through body aches, it's the mind that will get them through. What do you think?
