Baker Mayfield Calls out Buccaneers After Joint Practice With Jaguars
Baker Mayfield called out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offense after their joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield criticized the team after their first joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Speaking to reporters, Mayfield acknowledged that the team understood the system and checks but felt they lacked execution and physicality. He stated, "I don't think that anybody's too far behind when it comes to the knowledge of what we're trying to get done, but when you have that down, the execution needs to be there."
Mayfield also mentioned that the Jaguars out-physically dominated them during the practice. He added that if it were a full game, they wouldn't have won. First Coast News' Rachel Phillips observed that Josh Hines-Allen could have disrupted Mayfield and the offense during a real game and praised Antonio Johnson and Buster Brown for their interceptions and pass breakups.
The teams will face each other in a preseason game on Friday, giving Mayfield and his teammates a short window to review their performance and prepare for their first regular season game against the Cincinnati Bengals on September 13.
