Bucs Hot Reads: QB Winston not working on TD celebration
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Jameis Winston celebrates with Mike Evans after they scored against the Houston Texans.THE ASSOCIATED PRESS By Roy Cummings | Tribune Staff Published: October 1, 2015 TAMPA — Unlike Panthers quarterback Cam Newton, who pretends to rip open up his shirt the way Superman did, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston has yet to develop a signature touchdown celebration.He’s not trying to come up with one either.“Right now, I’m working on third downs and scoring in the red zone,’’ Winston said. “No, I don’t have a touchdown celebration at all. I just go out there and play. Whenever I score a touchdown I’m just happy, so my touchdown is whatever comes over me and I express it.”Did you know?WR Vincent Jackson has posted three straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons as a Buccaneer. If he reaches the 1,000-yard milestone this year he will become the first player in franchise history to have four such seasons.Stat of the dayBucs RB Doug Martin has seven career 100-yard rushing games. He needs only one more to pass Mike Alstott, LeGarrette Blount and Reggie Cobb for seventh in team history.Quote of the day“They’ve been kicking our tail for the past four tries, so I don’t see it as a rivalry. It’s a division opponent in my opinion. It’s not a rivalry.’’— Bucs DT Gerald McCoy, on playing the PanthersUpcoming scheduleSunday: Carolina, 1 p.m. (Fox, Ch. 13)Oct. 11: Jacksonville, 1 p.m. (CBS, Ch. 10)Oct. 18: ByeOct. 25: at Washington, 1 p.m. (Fox, Ch. 13)
