Bucs notes: QB Winston shows mobility in the pocket

TAMPA — The ability to stand inside a collapsing pocket, keep his eyes downfield and deliver the ball accurately has long been considered one of QB Jameis Winston’s greatest strengths.

The ability to move around in the pocket or escape it when necessary are proving to be strengths, as well.

Winston didn’t take a sack while facing one of the fiercest defensive fronts in football on Sunday, and his coaches are giving Winston as much credit for that as they are his offensive line.

“The offensive line played well,’’ Bucs coach Lovie Smith said Monday, one day after a 19-9 loss to the Texans.
