Here are some of the best Bucs quotes following their team’s training camp practice on Tuesday, August 10 at the AdventHealth Training Center.

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians opening Statement:

“Good, solid practice – loved the effort. More of what we’re used to seeing, both sides of the ball, great competition. The tape grades itself. We’ll go in and grade the tape and see how good the practice was, but I loved the competitive spirit and everything that was going on out there.”

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians on OLB Jason Pierre-Paul fighting through injuries last year:

“I mean, the stories are legendary. He played with two sprained MCLs the year before I got here. I don’t think he’s been truly healthy until now since we’ve been here together, and he never stops. He’s always going full-speed. He’s a great example for everybody else on what it’s like to be a pro. You’re never going to feel great. Hopefully you feel great in the first game; after that, you’re not going to feel great anymore, but you’ve still got to play.”

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians on having Buccaneers Legends at practice:

“Oh, it’s awesome. I always love that. I wish we could have all the guys back all the time, but with the protocols we can’t get them in the building and get them where we want, to be around our guys. I love having Sapp, Rondé and all those guys back as much as we could possibly have them.”

Bucs head coach Bruce Arians on having guys who have enough experience to be able to perform well even if they aren’t practicing every day:

“For him (Jason Pierre-Paul), it’s dropping into coverage and doing all the things that we’re asking him to do. It still helps to rush the passer against Tristan [Wirfs] and Donovan [Smith]. You’re always sharpening your skills. Nobody’s just going to lay it down and jump out there and play on Sunday. You might show up, you might be out there, but you ain’t really going to make a difference.”

Bucs quarterback Blaine Gabbert on re-signing with the team this offseason:

“It’s been a lot of fun – my third training camp here, having you guys back, having the fans back, it’s been a lot of fun. We’ve returned nearly everybody on the football team so you can see the continuity building – we’re still making mistakes, but we’re learning everyday, and we’re kind of picking up where we left off last year which was great because it took us a while to click last season. But if we kind of get a jump start on where we were, I think the sky is the limit.”

Bucs quarterback Blaine Gabbert on what they have emphasized to the young receivers:

“They’re all doing a great job – the biggest thing we’ve tried to relay to the young guys is – you could potentially have three Hall of Famers that you’re watching in Chris [Godwin], Mike [Evans], and AB (Antonio Brown) – and that’s unheard of, that has never happened before on an NFL team. So just watching those guys run, how they learn, how they are in meetings, how they handle themselves individually, get ready for practice, how they work after the catch – they set great examples – nothing really needs to be said. Because like I alluded to, there are potentially three Hall of Fame guys in that group, which speaks for itself.”

Bucs outside linebacker Joe Tryon on how excited he is for the first game of preseason against the Bengals on Saturday:

“It’s going to be real fun. I’ve been with these dudes for a couple of months now, so we have a good little camaraderie going. It’s going to be fun to showcase what we built up these last couple of months.”

Bucs outside linebacker Joe Tryon on what he has learned going against tackles Donovan Smith and Tristian Wirfs:

“You have to have a plan to execute really. Your technique has to be on point. You have to have that mindset that they’re not going to stop you. You’re not going to win every rep and you have to have that realistic mindset.”
