It wasn’t pretty in the Bucs’ 13-3 loss to the Titans in Nashville on Saturday night. There were a lot of mistakes in all three phases of the game. The offensive line, which struggled during joint practices all week, continued to fail Blaine Gabbert and Kyle Trask. Special teams really struggled, especially in punt coverage. And Jaelon Darden, who is the Bucs incumbent return man, couldn’t get anything going in the return game.

Here are the most disappointing players and moments from the Bucs’ second preseason game:

Punt Coverage

After a booming 62-yard punt by rookie Jake Camarda, the Bucs’ punt coverage team allowed 27 yards on the return. On Camarda’s second punt, which traveled 51 yards, the Bucs gave up 15 yards on the return, setting the Titans up near midfield. Camarda’s third punt of the game, this one for 55 yards, saw the Bucs’ coverage team surrender 35 yards on the return, setting the Titans up at the Bucs 44-yard line.

It remained problematic in the second half as well. On a punt in the third quarter, Camarda got the bounce he wanted, pinning the Titans deep in their own zone, but the gunners couldn’t keep it out of the endzone. Late in the fourth, another booming 65-yard punt for Camarda resulted in a 21-yard return for Tennessee. It was a bad look all around for the punt coverage team.

LB K.J. Britt

On the first play of the game, Britt’s aggressiveness put him out of position and he gave up an easy 21-yard completion. Britt also missed a tackle on a 25-yard scramble by Malik Willis and a missed another on a Hassan Haskins 10-yard run on the next play. He was outshined during the game by undrafted rookie Olakunle Fatukasi.

Third-Down Offense

The Bucs started the game going 0-4 on third down in the first quarter, and things didn’t get much better from there. Their woes continued in the second quarter, where they squandered good field position with another three-and-out. On the night, the Bucs would go just 2-for-13 on third down.

KR/PR Jaelon Darden

After a questionable decision to take the ball out four yards deep in the endzone on the opening kickoff, Darden managed to gain 25 yards. However, he still wound up four yards shy if he had just taken the touchback. He followed that up with a punt return where he gained zero yards. Not an impressing showing for the Bucs’ leading return man.

OT Fred Johnson

Johnson let up a huge sack with the Bucs pinned against their own goal line that almost resulted in a safety. He also garnered a holding penalty on the play. Johnson had trouble with his anchor all night, continuously letting pressure come from the right side. Johnson was also responsible for the block in which Trask’s arm was hit when he threw, leading to an interception that set up the Titans’ touchdown.

OLB Carl Nassib

Nassib had a dead-to-rights sack on Malik Willis that would’ve downed him on the Titans 2-yard line, but he couldn’t hold on for the tackle. That allowed Willis to make an 18-yard completion, which sparked a scoring drive for Tennessee.

WR Scotty Miller

Miller was wide open on a deep pass from Kyle Trask in the first half. He laid out for the ball, but couldn’t come down with catch. It would’ve potentially pumped some life into a stagnant Bucs offense. Miller did make up for it later, converting the Bucs first third-down attempt late in the second quarter, but that previous catch could’ve sparked the offense.

RB Rachaad White

Unfortunately, any time you fumble the ball, you’re going to make this list. The positive was that it was a spectacular 16-yard run after a shovel pass from Trask. However, the turnover led to points on the board for the Titans, who went up 6-0 after capitalizing on the play.

OG Luke Goedeke

Goedeke had two holding penalties in the game, wiping out runs of 16 and seven yards. He also let up a sack in the final two minutes of the first half when the Bucs were gaining momentum. He did have some good reps, but those penalties and the sack were drive killers.

OT Brandon Walton

While you could make the case that Trask should’ve thrown the ball away on a 3rd & 10 and settled for a field goal, Walton’s guy beat him on the play. That led to Trask’s fumble, which knocked Tampa Bay out of field goal range. He also drew a holding penalty on the play.
