Great response by Todd Bowles today.
Fresh off the cupcake, no-pads practice field in Jacksonville after light work against the Jaguars, Bowles was asked about a deep connection in practice from Kyle Trask to Trey Palmer.
“It would have been a great play if he wasn’t sacked,” Bowles said, referring to Trask.
No knock at the reporter asking the question. Joe’s just applauding how one line from Bowles put a bullet hole in so much August reporting from training camps across the NFL.
Much of what happens is not football reality. Completions are really sacks. Sacks often are a function of quarterbacks hanging in the pocket because they know they can’t get hit.
There was no forceful touching allowed in today’s underwear football session, and no tackling was the rule yesterday.
Runs in training camp aren’t really runs. And Joe has witnessed Bucs defensive linemen clearly not going top speed at times.
Bring on real football!
