1. K Nick Folk
When the Buccaneers released Roberto Aguayo following their first preseason game, all signs pointed to Folk being the team’s kicker for opening day. But in Tampa Bay’s second preseason game, Folk had an extra point attempt blocked – the result of a low kick – and was two-for-three on field goals, missing his only kicker further than 40 yards. Folk will be pushed by Zach Hocker, but handled all of the Buccaneers’ field goal attempts against Jacksonville.
2. CB Ryan Smith
Head Coach Dirk Koetter said that Smith struggled at times during the Buccaneers’ preseason opener, but got a little better when the team played their second preseason game.
