Bay Buccaneers are off to their fastest start in eight years.Speedy receiver DeSean Jackson is making a difference http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/vernon-hargreaves-iii-jersey , too, finally beginning to deliver what the team has been expecting since signing him in free agency before last season.Fitzpatrick has thrown for 819 yards and eight touchdowns in victories over New Orleans and defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia the past two weeks. Jackson has a pair of 100-yard games receiving and three TDs — two of them on plays of 50-plus yards."It's unbelievable. He's playing out of this world right now," said Jackson, who scored on a 75-yard reception of the first play of scrimmage in Sunday's 27-21 win over the Eagles."He's in his prime," the 31-year-old receiver added of the 35-year-old quarterback who's filling in for suspended starter Jameis Winston. "Us old guys, we are in our prime. He's playing like he's 28 and I'm playing like I'm 24. So as long as we keep doing that, it's going to be a good year."Jackson, coming off a disappointing debut with the Bucs in 2017, has nine catches for 275 yards and three TDs the past two weeks after having one of his least productive seasons with 50 receptions for 668 yards and three TDs in 14 games a year ago.He followed a five-catch, 146-yard, two-TD performance against the Saints with a four-catch, 129-yard performance against the Eagles.And with TDs of 58 and 75 yards this season, he's eased ahead of Hall of Famers Lance Alworth and Terrell Owens for the third-most TD receptions of 50-plus yards behind Hall of Famers Jerry Rice (36) and Randy Moss (29).Jackson, who spent six seasons with the Eagles and three with the Washington Redskins before signing a three-year, $33.5 million contract to join the Bucs, has 23 career TDs of 60 or more yards — tied with Rice for most in league history."I talked about this since I was younger, it's being legendary and leaving something for the league to understand that I made my mark, man," Jackson said. "I still have a lot of ball left in me. To tie Jerry Rice's records is very emotional for me."When Tampa Bay signed Jackson in March 2017, the Bucs were coming off a 9-7 finish the season before and envisioned the speedy wideout adding a much-needed element to their offense: a deep threat not only capable of stretching defenses, but someone able to turn short completions into big gainers."For me Womens Gerald McCoy Jersey , it's unbelievable to have a guy like DeSean out there running around," Fitzpatrick said. "Loft the ball up and he can go get it and turn it into a 75-yard touchdown. He's a special player, and he showed that again."Through two games, Fitzpatrick has four completions of 50-plus yards, all for touchdowns. In addition to teaming with Jackson on the first play against Philadelphia, the 14-year veteran connected with tight end O.J. Howard on a 75-yard catch-and-run play against the Eagles.Meanwhile, four-time 1,000-yard receiver Mike Evans and second-year pro Chris Godwin each have two TD receptions."We have good skill guys. ... Chris Godwin is an emerging star. O.J. Howard is an emerging star. DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans (are) proven, big-time players," coach Dirk Koetter said. "If you really think about it, we've still got Cam Brate and Adam Humphries, who just aren't getting very many chances right now."Next up is a Monday night matchup against Pittsburgh at home, with a chance to begin a season with three consecutive wins for the first time since 2005."You can't peak too early. We have a lot of football left," Jackson said."We have a big one coming up with Big Ben (Roethlisberger) and AB (Antonio Brown) coming to town," the receiver added. "I grew-up a Steeler fan, so I'm going to be amped up for that game too."Five bold predictions for training camp The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have their first training camp practice on July 26th, but the team has already begun to assemble at One Buc Place. The rookies reported Monday and the veterans will begin to report today. Along with football season comes predictions. With that being said, here are my five bold predictions for training camp. Carlton Davis will beat out Vernon Hargreaves for the outside corner job. I think that Davis has a chance to be a really good cornerback in this league. Of course, cornerback is one of the harder positions for rookies to learn, but I think he will be just fine. The Buccaneers have to adjust when it comes to Davis. Mike Smith must let him play his style which is press coverage. If they force him to play off coverage Womens Donovan Smith Jersey , like they have with other players in years past, we are going to see him struggle. I think that Hargreaves will ultimately be the team’s starting slot cornerback with Brent Grimes and Carlton Davis on the outside. 2. Vita Vea will be the starting defensive tackle opposite Gerald McCoy. Tampa Bay spent the 12th overall pick on Vita Vea and clearly have big plans for the former Husky. Vea certainly won’t be playing the whole game, and will probably have limited snaps through the first few weeks as he learns the NFL game, but he will be a part of the weekly game plan. Guys like Beau Allen, Mitch Unrein and William Gholston will ultimately challenge Vea for the starting job, but I predict he beats them out in camp. Tampa Bay is certainly hoping Vea can come in and contribute heavily from day one and improve what was the worst defensive line in football last season. 3. Chris Godwin will start on the outside opposite of Mike Evans.It should have happened last year, but better late than never, right? There have been reports from multiple media outlets that the Buccaneers are considering this option, but there will always be a competition. Nothing will be handed to the second year receiver. In all seriousness, I believe Godwin should be opposite of Mike Evans on the outside. If this scenario turned out to be true, DeSean Jackson would then be the team’s slot receiver which could create nightmare scenarios for opposing defenses. The goal is to get the best players possible on the fieldat all times, and this move would allow Tampa Bay to do just that.4. Ryan Fitzpatrick shows he’s ready for the challenge. This may not be the boldest prediction out there, but I’m confident in the 35 year old to be up for the challenge that lies ahead. Fitzpatrick is going to need to be at the top of his game if the Buccaneers want to get off on the right foot this season. Call me crazy, but I can’t see Fitzpatrick not finding a way to win at least one of the team’s first three games. Fitzpatrick knows what it takes to win in this league and I expect him to come out sharp in the pre-season. Fitz understands how the league works and it will be extremely hard to come back from an 0-3 record, so I believe he will show a greater sense of urgency this August then he has in year’s past. Hopefully for the Buccaneers sake, he can repeat his 2-1 performance last season. 5.The Buccaneers finally find a kicker! Chandler Catanzaro and Trevor Moore will battle it out in training camp to see who the starting kicker will be come week one. While I hope this is not a jinx, I just have some sort of feeling that the Buccaneers finally found something. By all accounts, both kickers were impressive during mini-camp and will look to carry that over into training camp. My bold prediction is that Catanzaro will not miss a field goal during the preseason games and be named the starting kicker. He will also have a career best kicking percentage this year and lift the kicking curse that has been over Tampa Bay for what seems like a lifetime.
