The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will take on the Miami Dolphins in the first of three preseason games this Saturday. The first team offense will not be playing in the game. Rookies will be playing the majority of the game. Other inexperienced players such as the third teamers will also receive playing time. The game is set to kick off at 7:30 so let’s take a look at the Buccaneers vs Dolphins preview.
The most notable absence will be quarterback Tom Brady who is taking a hiatus and won’t be back until after the second preseason game against the Titans. Brady’s absence is related to a personal matter and was known before the start of camp. This leaves the door open for the other quarterbacks Blaine Gabbert, Kyle Trask, and Ryan Griffin to receive reps during the first couple of games. Other rookies such as running back Raccard White or tight ends Cade Otten and Ko Kieft will receive the bulk of the action.
The Dolphins are the Favorite to win
The game will be played at Raymond James Stadium and will be covered by the television network WFLA. The game marks the 33rd meeting between the Bucs and Dolphins in the preseason. This is the most against any opponent in preseason history. The game will also be covered on social media and fans can view pictures at any time during the game.
The Dolphins are expected to win the game and have a good roster. It is yet to be seen who wins because the game has not been played yet. The Dolphins have a good roster as do the Bucs. It will be interesting to see how they match up with the Bucs talented players and who can keep up. Hopefully, Bucs fans can expect great production out of the rookies and inexperienced players.
