Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield assessed his team’s joint practice with the Jacksonville Jaguars, stating the Jaguars were the more physical team. He indicated the Buccaneers would likely have lost had the practice been a regular season game.
Mayfield made the blunt assessment after facing the Jaguars’ defense during the Tuesday practice session. The practice was designed to provide live-game reps against an opponent before the start of the NFL season.
According to Mayfield, the Jaguars demonstrated a clear advantage in physicality. He stated, “They were more physical than us today,” acknowledging the Jaguars’ dominance during the practice. Mayfield went on to say, “If that was a real game, we probably would have lost.” This admission highlights the Buccaneers’ need to improve their physical play before the regular season begins. The Buccaneers and Jaguars will face off again in a preseason game this coming Saturday.
