Soapy, OS tables don't work on BBCode boards.
Probably someone screenshotting. I put it in ChatGPT to give me all of the BBCode switches and there are two codes in the tables themselves that won't show up in BBCode even with a switch.
this is a very good layoutThe Sauce wrote: ↑21 Aug 2023, 11:47
| Mayfield Looks Sharp in Preseason Loss to Steelers, 27-17
The Buccaneers fell to the Steelers, 27-17, in the 2023 preseason opener
Baker Mayfield is expected to win the preseason starting quarterback battle over Kyle Trask.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers fell to the Pittsburgh Steelers, 27-17, in preseason Week One. Self-inflicted wounds solidified the outcome of the Bucs' preseason opener. Tampa Bay was penalized three times for 20 yards in the first two drives, putting the club behind the chains.
However, early in the second quarter, the Bucs struck. Baker Mayfield hit rookie Trey Palmer in the back corner of the end zone for an eight-yard touchdown.
Through the first three series, Mayfield went eight-of-nine for 41 yards and a touchdown before calling it a day.
“He was composed, did a good job of commanding the offense,” Bowles said of the No. 1 overall pick from the 2018 draft. “He made the plays he needed to make.”
Kyle Trask took over in the second quarter but was not able to find the end zone. He was intercepted by Steelers' Trenton Thompson and concluded his night by completing six-of-10 passes for 99 yards.
The Buccaneers went scoreless in the third quarter, while Pittsburgh put up 10, courtesy of a 67-yard touchdown bomb from Mason Rudolph to Calvin Austin and a B.T. Potter 43-yard field goal.
The Bucs had a last-ditch touchdown just under the two-minute warning as John Wolford hit Payne Durham for a four-yard touchdown. However, it wasn't enough as there were just too many miscues early on that sealed the Bucs' fate in preseason Week One.

RAPID REACTIONS
- Without Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, and starting running back Rachaad White, Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask worked with the same supporting cast on offense, providing a thorough evaluation process. Mayfield outperformed Trask.
- Linebacker Cam Gill raised his stock this week. He tallied one sack and split another one. In his first action since suffering a season-ending Lisfranc injury in the 2022 preseason opener, he played really well. Gill is competing with third-round pick Yaya Diaby and sixth-round pick Jose Ramirez for backup duty.
- Wide receiver depth looks like a tight battle! Rookie Trey Palmer, second-year wideouts Deven Thompkins and Kaylon Geiger, and veteran addition David Moore received extensive playing time during the first half. Palmer's speed was on full display during his touchdown catch. He continues to make a solid case for one of the remaining receiver spots on the depth chart behind Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Russell Gage Jr., along with second-year pro, Thompkins.
Thompkins finished the 2022 season as the club's primary return specialist and got the starting gig on punts/kickoffs on Friday night. He has impressed throughout camp, making sensational acrobatic catches with his small, 5-foot-8 frame.
- Many players were thrown into the mix during the offseason for the Bucs' impending slot corner battle. The role of a nickel corner in the NFL is a complex one, personifying the phrase "Swiss Army Knife." However, one name in particular is starting to gain traction, and that standout is undrafted free agent Christian Izien out of Rutgers.
