Falcons look to best last year’s win total versus Bucs
Sunday’s game kicks off at 1 p.m. It marked just his third game without an interception this season. The latter is coming off a game in Washington in which he saw extensive action and caught his first National Football League touchdown pass.
Winston, who led Florida State to a national championship as a redshirt freshman, is being developed by former Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter. He has been sacked 12 times and has a passer rating of 85.7.
Against the Falcons, Winston will not have his receiving corps at full strength.
Vincent Jackson sustained a knee injury last week and is not expected to play on Sunday, according to Rapoport, via source informed of Jackson’s progress.
A total of four open spots on that 10-man crew were created with the Humphries move plus the departures on Tuesday of cornerbacks Keon Lyn and Dax Swanson and tackle Martin Wallace.
Tampa Bay is 2-4 on the season, 3-3 against the spread and 4-2 with the over.
In all, the 6-1, 205-pound wideout played in 43 games with 30 starts for USF and recorded 153 receptions, 2,136 yards and 17 touchdowns.
Murphy had 10 receptions for 198 yards this season. “Adam Humphries has been in that role before, but we’ll just kind of look at our options out there and then go from there”.
“On the back ends, yes, it’s unacceptable on what we got”, he said. Stanford was also on the Bucs’ practice squad in Week Two. They were penalized 16 times for 142 yards in the loss to Washington. Defensively, the Falcons yield 274.7 yards in passing and 78.6 yards in rushing.
“It’s all good”, wide receiver Roddy White said. “I think first off you have to be a decent team to get up 24-0 on a team in the NFL”. “We have to get out of it. We have to keep battling and keep going and keep trying to get better and fix these things”.
