Postgame – Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Head Coach Adam Gase (Postgame)

What did you think of the first team offense out there tonight?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: I thought it was good. Seemed like they were operating in good tempo. We robably have a couple things to clean up when we watch it but it felt right.

The idea of first play out of the gates was to put QB Ryan Tannehill on the move?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: I mean, it’s just — I wouldn’t look too much into that. It’s just what everybody liked to start the game.

Your first team defense was in there for two possessions. Was that a plan or did that evolve?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: We didn’t go in with — we had kind of a play number but we just wanted to really feel it out. So those guys wanted to keep some of those guys in. I think a few guys came out, a few guys stayed in. We have kind of a mixed group of guys. We felt like that was what we wanted to do after that first series.

The backup quarterback, QB David Fales and QB Brock Osweiler both did things. Did either of them…?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: I don’t know. This is going to take all of training camp. It’s going to take all preseason.

What’s one thing you liked tonight and one thing you didn’t?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: I liked the energy. I liked the focus that we had. Leading up to the game, I thought before we even got out there, guys were wired in and they were ready to go. Then when we got out there, there was a lot of good execution. There was some things that we have to work on. We were really shooting to get — you know, have zero pre-snap penalties. We fell short of that. Just putting the ball on the ground, that’s something that we just have to make sure that we don’t. I mean, first glance, you see (Kalen) Ballage go over the top of the guy but we lose the ball. So that’s just a young kid trying to make a big play and making a mistake and he’ll learn from that and he’ll get better from it.

The first-team defense, how did you feel they played?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: It’s hard for me to tell from just watching. When we watch the tape, it will be easier.

Any immediate thoughts on S Minkah Fitzpatrick and TE Mike Gesicki?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: I’ve got to watch it in detail to really evaluate anybody.

Any word on LB Mike Hull?

HEAD COACH ADAM GASE: Yeah, right now, I mean, I just know it’s a knee. I don’t know the exact details of what’s the timeframe and things like that.
