TAMPA — For all the good the Bucs have done this preseason — they've moved the football as if it were on wheels — all that seems to be left is to score touchdowns in the red zone.
They are built for it, with an array of tall pass catchers from Mike Evans (6-foot-5), Cameron Brate (6-5), O.J. Howard (6-6) and Chris Godwin (6-1).
Evans caught eight passes inside the red zone last season, seven for touchdowns. But at Cincinnati in the preseason opener, Evans and quarterback Jameis Winston failed to connect on two fade routes into the end zone over 5-10 cornerback Adam Jones.
