Bucs’ coordinators break down top players, upcoming matchup vs. Saints
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got the one that mattered most against the New Orleans Saints in the divisional round of the 2020 playoffs en route to a Super Bowl win, but they’ve still been swept by their NFC South rivals in each of the past two regular seasons.
They’ll hope to end that drought Sunday, when they travel to New Orleans for a Week 2 showdown.
After Thursday’s practice, Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and co-defensive coordinator Larry Foote broke down the matchup, what they’re expecting from some of their top players, and more:
"It's good to see him out there rolling the way he was rolling."
