Jones II in the second round of this year’s draft Womens Carlton Davis Jersey , it was clear that the Buccaneers were going to mix him into a one-two punch with third-year pro Peyton Barber. But what has seemed fairly unclear throughout the summer was which of the two would occupy the No. 1 spot. After Monday’s practice, head coach Dirk Koetter acknowledged that Barber currently occupies the starting role. From Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times: Koetter appears to be sending mixed signals here, as he both names a starter and says there’s still time to sort things out. Regardless, it seems that Barber is making it hard for Jones to come in and take over as the lead guy, despite what many have predicted over the last few months. Koetter later made it obvious that Tampa Bay won’t be using a three-down back, noting how difficult it is to rely on just one guy with the way the NFL is nowadays. Barber got almost all of the snaps with the starting offense in the preseason opener against the Dolphins, rushing for 21 yards and a touchdown on four carries. In 2017, he was the lone bright spot in a poor Buccaneer backfield. He finished the year as the team’s leading rusher with 423 yards, averaging 3.9 yards per carry. Doug Martin had 30 more carries than him, but put up just 406 yards.Jones only nine yards on eight carries in last Thursday’s preseason opener, but did pick up his first touchdown. He saw most of his snaps behind a second team offensive line that was missing a few guys Authentic Ryan Fitzpatrick Jersey , so his lack of production shouldn’t be all that alarming.Rotating in behind Barber could be what’s best for the rookie as he continues to further develop as a pass-catcher and improve his pass-blocking. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see him get some snaps with the starters as the preseason rolls on, but it’s more than clear that the Bucs have no plans on phasing Barber out of the mix. For now, and potentially for the foreseeable future, Barber is the “one” in what should be a strong one-two threat.Highlights From Training Camp: 7/28/18 The first day of padded (well, somewhat) practice was today and damn, it was hot. An early breeze quickly faded as the day progressed and soon enough, my ginger-self was roasting like a marshmallow over a campfire.That didn’t stop the Bucs from making some good plays in training camp. It’s still early, but it’s encouraging to semi-starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick connecting with receivers early-on for big plays. It’s encouraging to see MJ Stewart stepping up and making plays. And it’s encouraging to see the coaching staff get creative with major pieces like Jason Pierre-Paul.My excellent cameraman skills caught some today’s big plays just for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy them below!MJ Stewart sacks Ryan FitzpatrickAs mentioned above, both players are making plays early in camp. On this play, Stewart comes from Fitzpatrick’s blind side and well, if this were a game Authentic Ryan Smith Jersey , Fitz would’ve eaten some dirt - take that to the bank. It’s also worthy to take stock in the fact that this was during an 11-on-11 drill. Stewart’s versatility is coming in handy thus far. Mike Evans’ awesome sideline grabMike Evans made two major plays today on the sideline. Check out Pewter Report’s awesome video of his first catch over Brent Grimes. He then later made a spectacular, acrobatic catch on the sideline where he tip-toed his way to a complete catch. The first play was with Fitzpatrick throwing the ball and the second was with Jameis Winston. The only difference was one drill - Fitzpatrick’s - was an 11-on-11 while Winston’s was a 7-on-7. Regardless of quarterback or situation, it’s good to see Evans finding chemistry with whomever, whenever. Gettin’ physicalI’ve watched this play over thirty times and even though it’s hard to tell which two players are involved, I think it’s Alan Cross and Nigel Harris.The supposed-Harris comes flying in like a missile and the maybe-Cross does just about all he can to ward him off. Football’s back, baby.Fitzpatrick finding the right spotWe all know that Fitzpatrick is a veteran who has seen just about everything in the NFL. On this play, even though it’s 7-on-7, we see him just sit back and find the open man. One is led to believe that if this play is blocked correctly, then oftentimes this will be the final result. Even more encouraging is the fact that it’s Adam Humphries that’s on the receiving end of this one. Fitzpatrick loves to spread the ball around when he can and nothing’s changed.Winston and Brate doing their thingOne of the more effective quarterback-tight end duos in the league, Winston finds Brate on a quick pass for a moderate gain. Winston needs all the time he get with the first-team players.
