There were plenty of positives to take away from Friday night’s preseason game between the Buccaneers and Steelers. Ronald Jones looked like a transformed player, the offense was clicking, the run defense was stout. All great things the team can continue to build on.
There was, however, a glaring issue that the Buccaneers have dealt with for as long back as many of us can remember - penalties.
Although it seemed pretty even and that there was a flag on every other play, the Bucs finished with fourteen penalties for 112 yards. Granted, the Steelers had ten penalties for 74 yards, but that doesn’t excuse some of the boneheaded mistakes the Bucs made.
