Here are some of the best Bucs quotes following their the team’s training camp practice on Sunday, August 13.
Bucs Head Coach Todd Bowles
On Bucs linebackers SirVocea Dennis, Jose Ramirez and Yaya Diaby not practicing:
“They’re just sore. Those guys will be fine. There’s no sense – they played most of the game – just coming back after that, they got days off.”
On if he’s concerned about Bucs RB Rachaad White pulling up at the end of practice:
“Not at this time. It probably scared him more than anything else, but he should be fine.”
On how he thought the Bucs pass rush was in practice today:
“I’ve got to look at the film. I saw a lot of balls completed down the field on certain ones. To see what could or could [not] have been sacks…It’s more about assignment football right now. I know we can rush when we decide to rush. It’s about doing the right things. I thought we left the ball out in the game twice in critical situations – one was third-and-long and they got a first down, so we’ve got to worry about our rush lanes more than just our rush. We’ve got to concentrate on that. I’ll look at the film and see.”
On there being a lot of deep completions today and if the quarterbacks are more comfortable spreading the ball around:
“Some of the plays are dialed up that way. It’s an opportunity for us to work on some of the things and I though they got the ball down the field pretty [well].”
On if he’s looking forward to joint practices against the Jets:
“I am because it’s a different scheme. It’s a different scheme. They’re a good football team, we feel like we have a good football team. We get to look out for different blocks on both sides of the ball and go against different receivers in different schemes. That’s always good to test your rules on.”
Bucs Wide Receiver Trey Palmer
On his touchdown reception:
“I just saw the ball and got [the] ball. That’s what I always taught: if you see the ball, keep your eyes on the ball, so that’s what I did. I just made the catch and tried to get my foot down, too.”
On how Bucs training camp has been:
“I’m just a quick adjuster. I learn the playbook very easily. And having the veterans like Chris [Godwin], Mike [Evans] and Russ [Gage] in the room and they’re just teaching me the game and I’m just learning it. Then just keep going and perfecting my craft.”
On what his goals are going into the second preseason game against the Jets:
“It’s really the same thing, the same process: practice, practice, practice makes perfect. That’s what I do. I don’t even look at the game, I just take it one day at a time.”
Bucs Cornerback Zyon McCollum
On things he wants continue to work on from a tackling aspect:
“Tackling aspect – staying on my feet for as long as possible. I [have] to run my body into guys, wrap them up, continue to drag my feet. It’s something I have to work on every day during practice until it’s perfected. Like I said before, if I’m missing a tackle in the game at any point in my career it means that I need to work on it. So at this point, if I don’t have a missed tackle in the game it’s something that I am going to continue to work on.”
On his comfortability making plays in games:
“Yeah, just using my brain for one, understanding my defense, where my health is, and then watching film, understanding offensive receiver splits, [and] scheme. All that just comes in when I’m covering guys. Whenever I’m just out there winging it, that’s when I kind of put myself into harm’s way and get out of technique that I want to use, but when I stick to what I have planned going into a game and I’m playing, calm, collected, and understanding where my health is, that’s when I’m at my best.”
On joint practice with the New York Jets:
“I’m super excited, for one because our group of DBs (defensive backs) have been waiting for this and had this circled for a long time to go up there and challenge those receivers, and really cement our place in this league. And for me at last year’s joint practice, everything was happening fast, so you’re catching up constantly, doing things, and finishing in ways that you don’t necessarily have to this league. You know, when you’re beat, you’re beat, and in practice you have to stay as healthy as you can. Just having all that experience going into a joint practice, I’m eager to put my technique to the test, but play smart at the same time.”
