Buccaneers WR Dezmon Briscoe "Taking Control" Of Starting Job

  1. Dezmon Briscoe says he learned to read defenses playing NCAA Football, not just the real thing but the video game from EA Sports. "In this day and age, they actually scout the defenses now, and it helps you read and make reads," Briscoe said. "When I get on the field, I try to visualize things as if I was playing the video game, and it usually slows the (real) game for me." In the preseason opener Friday at Kansas City, he led the Bucs with four catches for 60 yards, all in the first half. Activated for the final two games last season after No. 2 receiver Arrelious Benn went on injured reserve with a torn ACL, Briscoe, 21, stepped in and stood out. He caught six passes for 93 yards, four of them for first downs. With Benn making a slow recovery from knee surgery, Briscoe has taken control of the starting job opposite Mike Williams. "I had to wait until my opportunity came and make sure I seize it," Briscoe said.

    Jizz in the pants? Bucs are going to be fiesty this year. I think they may slip in and take the 2nd wild card, 3 teams from the NFC South in the playoffs?
