Buccaneers record book watch: Week Three The Buccaneers

Youth Chris Godwin Jersey , to the surprise of many, are 2-0 to start the season after picking up wins against the Saints and Eagles. They return to the field on Monday night for a primetime matchup against the Steelers. Here’s where things stand in the franchise record book heading into week three:Career Receiving YardsMike Evans is inching closer and closer to being No. 2 in receiving yards. With 83 yards against the Eagles on Sunday, he now has 4,809 yards. He needs 120 more to pass Kevin House (4,928) for that second spot.Career Receiving TouchdownsWith his touchdown against Philadelphia, Evans is now tied with Jimmie Giles for most receiving scores all-time (34). If he finds the end zone against Pittsburgh on Monday, he will own the franchise record very early in his fifth season. Career ReceptionsWith 10 catches on Sunday, Evans passed Mark Carrier for second all-time. He now sits at 326, which is 104 behind James Wilder (430) for the top spot. Rushing TouchdownsThe Bucs are still without a rushing touchdown this season, so Peyton Barber and Jacquizz Rodgers haven’t moved up at all. Barber is still tied for 25th in franchise history with four rushing scores, while Rodgers is close behind at 29th (three). With two on Monday, Barber would pull into a tie for 16th. Career TacklesWith six tackles last week, Lavonte David now has 559 in his career. He is slowly working his way toward third on that list, a spot currently held by Hardy Nickerson (680). For David, it’s all about the week-to-week progress in this category. Kwon Alexander’s six tackles against Philly moved him from 18th to 16th. He currently has 248 White Chris Conte Jersey , which means he needs six more to pass Martin Mayhew (253) for 15th.With his two tackles on Sunday, Gerald McCoy pulled into a tie for 24th with Brad Culpepper (204). He needs three more to pass Simeon Rice for 23rd.Career SacksMcCoy picked up his first sack of the season on Sunday, which brought his career total up to 49 1/2. He is now 20 behind Simeon Rice for the franchise’s second spot.Career SafetiesLavonte David is in a first-place tie for career safeties with one.Career InterceptionsDavid is tied for 17th in career interceptions with 10. One more pulls him into a 15th-place tie with Jermaine Phillips and Jeremiah Castille, while two more brings him up to a 12th-place tie with Dwight Smith, Jeris White and Mark Robinson.Career Passes DefendedWith one pass breakup last week, David tied Brent Grimes for fifth in franchise history with 35. Both guys are 18 away from passing Aqib Talib for fourth. With Grimes on his way back from injury, he could be getting some separation from David.Career Fumble RecoveriesIn past versions of the record book watch, it was said that David needed one fumble recovery to tie for fifth all-time. While that is somewhat correct, it was still an oversight. That listing included players on both offense and defense, meaning the top four spots were occupied by three quarterbacks and a running back. Admittedly, that makes no sense.So... As far as defensive players are concerned, David is now tied with Ronde Barber for most fumble recoveries (12) after falling on the ball at the end of Sunday’s win against the Eagles. He needs one more to hold the franchise record.Career Forced FumblesDavid is two forced fumbles away from a second-place tie with Simeon Rice.Career Games PlayedMonday will be McCoy’s 112th career game with the Bucs, which ties him with Donald Penn for 22nd. Demar Dotson is about to play his 103rd game with Tampa Bay, which will get him one game away from tying Hardy Nickerson (104) for 31st.David is set for his 94th game, which ties him for 46th with Kevin House. It was another rollicking win for the Buccaneers Youth Mike Evans Jersey , full of big plays and fun.And while quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was stealing the show on the field and off (by showing up for his postgame press conference wearing DeSean Jackson‘s clothes and jewelry), the guy who used to be the quarterback was sending messages of his own.According to Peter King of NBC’s Football Morning in America, the suspended Winston sent a group text to the Buccaneers rececivers after the game which read: “Awesome game!”鈥淭hat was great to hear from him,鈥?wide receiver Mike Evans said. 鈥淛ameis did an awesome job in camp, and he supported Fitz all the way. But he鈥檚 a team guy.鈥漌inston has one more game to serve on his suspension, for allegedly groping an Uber driver in 2016. And there’s no certainty that he’s automatically going to get it back.For one thing, Fitzpatrick is playing as well as any quarterback in the league not named Mahomes at the moment. Secondly, the Bucs have a short week in Week Four, coming off next Monday’s home game against the Steelers and pouring straight into a trip to Chicago on Sunday. Then comes their bye week, which could be a more natural time to make the switch.But the simplest question is “Why switch at all?” when things are going so well.鈥淲e can be as explosive as any team in the league,鈥?Evans said. 鈥淲e鈥檙e not surprised by this success. I think there鈥檚 a lot more out there. Ryan鈥檚 working really hard, spreading the ball around, and he鈥檚 playing great football with great playmakers around him.鈥滱nd he may continue to.
