The Arizona Cardinals face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10. Aside from knowing the Bucs have lost four straight games and are coached by Bruce Arians, what has been going on for Tampa Bay?
Here are some of the stories from the last week Cardinals fans should know about.
Bruce Arians is expecting the Bucs to get on a roll with win
The Bucs have lost four games in a row and have not played at home for over a month. They technically had a home game during that time but it was in London. Bucs coach Bruce Arians, despite the 2-6 record, believes the team will get on a roll. That starts with a win at home.
RB Ronald Jones has earned starting job
Peyton Barber was the Bucs’ starting running back. Ronald Jones is now. According to Bruce Arians, he has earned it. Barber didn’t do anything to lose it. Jones has been more explosive. He finally is coming into his own after a very disappointing rookie season.
Jameis Winston tries to remain optimistic and makes confusing analogy
Despite four straight losses, Winston declares the need to remain optimistic. Rather than talking about a half-full cup, he says the cup has to be full, or half-full, or really still full because of the air that fills it.
I don’t get it.
Rookie CB Jamel Dean having learning experiences
Because of an injury to starting cornerback Carlton Davis, Dean was forced into action against the Seattle Seahawks. He struggled. Bucs defensive coordinator Todd Bowles says he can learn from the experience. He will need to learn them as he will play a big role against the Cardinals.
Bucs LB Devin White makes call to Tampa Bay fans
It has been more than a month since the Bucs played in their home stadium. White wants their fans to come out in full force to cheer them on against the Cardinals.
