If the pre-season play of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is an indication of how the re-gular season will go, it looks like the NFC South will be a three-team race.<\/p>\n

With starter Robert Griffin, III<\/b> watching from the sidelines, the Redskins had no trouble beating the Bucs 30-12 at Raymond James Stadium, and going 4-0 for the pre-season. Redskin fourth-string quarterback, Pat White<\/b>, threw for 181 yards, ran for a touchdown, and set up another touchdown with a 66-yard completion to Dezmon Briscoe<\/b>.<\/p>\n

The performance by the Buccaneers was a repeat of their other pre-season games, sloppy, including their lone victory against the Miami Dolphins by one point. Third-round draft pick, Mike Glennon<\/b>, played like a rookie for the Bucs, completing 7 of 16 passes for 63 yards and one interception. He also lost a fumble when the ball appeared to just slip out of his hand before his arm moved forward to throw.<\/p>\n

The lone Buccaneer touchdown came on a interception by linebacker Najee Goode<\/b>, who returned the ball 37-yards for the score. The extra point was missed. The Bucs will open their regular season on the road against the New York Jets.<\/p>\n

Underwood, Goode Among Buc Final Roster Cuts<\/b><\/p>\n

\"TIQUAN<\/a>Getting their roster down to the final 53 players, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers announced wide receiver Tiquan Underwood (pictured)<\/b> and linebacker Najee Goode <\/b>were being released.<\/p>\n

Both players were replaced by wide receiver Russell Shepard<\/b> and defensive tackle Chris Jones<\/b>. Shephard<\/b>, out of LSU, went undrafted in April, and Jones, out of Bowling Green, was grabbed off waivers.<\/p>\n

Goode <\/b>had been the 2012 5th-round pick of the Bucs and played in three games as a rookie. Underwood<\/b>, who failed to survive the initial cut to 53 players a year ago returned to the team later and played in 14 games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
