Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin stated earlier in the week that the offense was in a “good spot,” and after the first drive against the Miami Dolphins in their third preseason game, we tend to agree.
With a host of starters getting reps, Baker Mayfield and the offense clicked into gear from the first snap. … on a way to a 24-14 win.
While Mayfield hit completions of nine, 17, and 28 yards (a dime to rookie Jalen McMillan), running back Rachaad White also had carries of four, five, and three yards before punching it in for a four-yard touchdown to cap off the perfect drive.
For Baker, he went 3/3 for 54 yards on the first drive as the Buccaneers offense put the foot down on their first drive.
All offseason, the Buccaneers have been hard at work learning Liam Coen’s new offensive system. With some calling it hard and complex, there have been a lot of moving parts that have to be accounted for in Coen’s scheme.
But if the first drive of the game against Miami is anything to go by, when it clicks, Tampa Bay looks superb.
