We expected that, with (Bucs defensive coordinator) Mike Smith and him coaching me, being my head coach. And Dirk Koetter, also. They know what Im capable of doing. We just knew coming into the game that they were going to do that.I feel like I played my position and did my part by drawing coverage.
