Week One X-Factor: WR Chris Godwin We know the story lines.

Jameis is out http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/lavonte-david-jersey , Fitzpatrick is starting. The Bucs are on the road in a hostile environment against a division rival that many have pegged to compete for a Lombardi Trophy. I’ve said numerous times that this game will come down to the defense’s ability to neutralize Alvin Kamara and get pressure on Drew Brees while the offense has to ground and pound to eat up the clock.But Chris Godwin may end up being the key to it all.Godwin started off his rookie campaign slowly, but really came on towards the end of the season. In his final two games, Godwin finished with ten receptions on eighteen targets with 209 yards and a touchdown - 111 yards and that touchdown coming against this Saints team to close out 2017.Mike Evans is the guy for the Buccaneers, but he and Marshon Lattimore have quite the rivalry budding and Evans hasn’t exactly lit the world on fire in games against New Orleans. Last season when facing the Saints, Evans had six receptions for 68 yards and no touchdowns.Another factor to take into account is Godwin’s production when Ryan Fitzpatrick is under center. In Fitz’s three starts, Godwin finished with eight receptions for 123 yards. They have a rapport from working with one another on the second team offense all last season and that trust has been built, established http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/kwon-alexander-jersey , and will be on full display.With Lattimore facing off against Evans and the Saints’ safeties likely focusing on keeping him off the stat sheet, Godwin will get some solid looks. It’ll be on Godwin to take advantage of the opportunity and show that he’s taken his next step to becoming the high level compliment to Evans we all believe he is.Bold Prediction: Godwin finished with seven receptions for 80+ yards and two touchdownsThe international perception of Tampa Bay Every summer, my family and I go on a vacation. Usually, our vacation is at an all-inclusive type resort somewhere in the Caribbean. This year we decided to change it up and head overseas. The two cities we selected were London and Dublin. At this point, you are probably wondering how the heck does this relate to Buccaneers football? I’m glad you asked. During my time in these two countries, which has been about a week, my Buccaneers tattoo has caught the attention of some other tourists. On three different occasions other tourists http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/vernon-hargreaves-iii-jersey , who weren’t from the United States, London, or Dublin, have started conversations amongst their group about the Buccaneers after seeing the tattoo. As you can imagine, the conversations that were started weren’t positive, and the main topic from all three situations was in fact the suspension of Jameis Winston and his “troubles.” After the third separate occasion of people talking about Jameis Winston’s off the field struggles, my father turned to me and said Womens Gerald McCoy Jersey , “It’s really a shame that when people from around the world think about the Buccaneers, the first thing that comes to mind is Jameis Winston and his past actions.”Going off that quote from my father, I have noticed the same type of thing back in the States. The more and more people comment on the Buccaneers to me, the first thing out of their mouths is Jameis Winston and his suspension.I think that this was an interesting story because the National Football League isn’t nearly as big in these two countries as it is in the United States. Yes, the National Football League has played games at Wembley Stadium, but still, a good majority of the people who live in Europe or other parts of the world Womens Donovan Smith Jersey , have probably never heard of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.With that being said, the ones that have, mostly have a negative view on Jameis Winston and I am at the point in my mind where I don’t know if that will ever change, no matter how many games he wins.
