The Bucs offense had a pretty good game last Sunday against the Falcons as the unit put up 31 points and over 350 total yards. The best news is the unit can be even better as one of their top players had an off day. That would be all-pro receiver Vincent Jackson who was targeted seven times and ended up with two catches for 18 yards. Now this could be because of Desmond Trufant who was matched up against Jackson most of the game and is a great corner. The Bucs were smart by going towards the weaker corner in Alford and Mike Evans took advantage for 99 yards and a TD. Now heading into week 2 against the Cardinals, look for Vincent to have a bounce back week as he knows he needs to pick it up and OC Todd Monken believes he will as well.
"He's got to play better, and I got to coach him better. He knows that, and I got to find a way for him to play better, and he is capable, he is a darn good football player. We are counting on him to have a big game this week, and I expect him to bounce back."This is called being accountable and the coaching staff and the players are doing a great job of that so far. Monken is right as Jackson should bounce back this week as he has a favorable matchup going against the Cardinals secondary which features a rookie corner in Brandon Williams who will likely be targeted again this week by the Bucs offense. Jackson needs to be a big part of this offense because he is still a very good player and can make big plays. Look for the Bucs to move their wideouts around this week to find the favorable matchups and stay away from Patrick Peterson.
