TAMPA, Fla. – The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are set to kick off their three-day mandatory minicamp Tuesday, which will be the first time the entire team – veterans, new free agents and draft picks – will take the practice field together under new head coach Todd Bowles, who said he expects full attendance and more competition overall.
“There will be more 'good-on-good.' But, not more in the physical sense – more of a competitive, situational standpoint sense – as far as executing the plays,” Bowles said. “Whether it’s fourth-and-goal on the 5-yard line, whether it’s a two-minute drive, whether it’s third down, whether it’s backed up – we’ll emphasize more situational things with ‘good-on-good,’ with the defense understanding what the offense is trying to do and vice versa.
