" NFL DraftNFL Draft2019 NFL Draft: Tampa Bay Buccaneers2019 NFL Draft Results: Buccaneers select WR Scott MillerNew Brent Grimes Jersey ,24commentsTampa Bay looks to add to their group of receivers.EDTIn the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, the Buccaneers selected wide receiver from Bowling Green State, Scott Miller.The Bucs day is starting to wind down on Saturday and Arians finally added a name to their offense via the draft. A projected undrafted free agent, Tampa Bay felt they needed to needed to get into the sixth round to get him. For what it’s worth, Miller ran a 4.39 40 at his pro day.Here is an overview from NFL.com’s draft analyst Lance Zierlein on Miller:Slim, slot target with legitimate track speed and short area burst to separate over the top and underneath. Miller was lightly recruited out of high school but posted strong catch production for Bowling Green over the last three years. He’s tough, but durability will be a concern for NFL scouts considering how often he absorbs big contact. There are boxes he won’t check, but the speed/separation is one that gets an immediate check and that could help him find a roster spot as a three-level target and Day 3 selection. EDTWhen it comes to making the right decision, that’s what Leftwich looks for the most. “See, it’s not always about a money throw for me, it’s a money decision, and that’s what the position is all about. Everyone wants to see the big Cameron Brate Jersey , 40-yard post and trust me, that’s coming. That’s there.”“But that’s not what we’re going to ask Jameis to do every snap. What we’re going to ask him to do is put us in the right position and make the right decision. Put us in the right place to be successful in this play.”The depth that Leftwich is willing to dive into in order to help Winston is admirable and the detail in his responses reflect a coach that knows what needs to be done. And it’s beginning to show in camp. Winston found running back Andre Ellington on a quick, four-yard dump pass that allowed Ellington to scamper into the end zone with little resistance for a touchdown. Leftwich came over and emphatically tapped Winston on the helmet after the play, obviously excited that the work that has been put in throughout the offense is starting to show through. “That play, he probably only throw a four-yard pass, right? But that was the right decision, because that’s what we’re asking him to do.”It’s also nice to have a coach who played the position with success in the NFL. Leftwich continued, “That’s hard for us to do as quarterbacks, right? You know, we want to throw the ball down the field. It’s hard for us to run guys down the field then look down and take that four-yard pass. But when he does make that right decision, he gets to come in, watch the tape William Gholston , and he gets to see Andre Ellington running into the end zone.”Byron Leftwich knows how the game is played and that should help Winston’s development.Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports“Those are the type of reps, that if we can get him to make those decisions, that is huge. That ball was supposed to go right there, so the fact that it went right there is huge. That was the best play of the day. That four-yard pass was the best decision and the best play that he made during camp that day.”<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="fYnJnG">Leftwich’s crosshairs aren’t fixed solely on Winston, though. It’s on the entire offense. When asked about the receiving corps, he heaped praise on them, calling the group “exceptional”. But that doesn’t mean he’s giving them any slack, either. “We are trying to this as difficult for the quarterback and the receivers as possible,” he adamantly stated at the podium. “And in doing that - the way these guys are responding - it’s a breath of fresh air to see these guys respond and see the plays that we’re making, the plays that we should be making, the plays we are capable of making or we didn’t make, but will begin to make.” “It’s exciting to see that we’re all on the same page. We’re seeing it collectively as a whole. That’s what we want.We want everyone in the huddle to see it as a whole and that’s what we’re doing right now.”The same goes for the rest of the offense. It’s probably fair to say this team didn’t know how to handle adversity under the last couple of coaching regimes and eight losing seasons over the past decade speaks to that. “A lot of the time we’re trying to put these guys in the worst situation Shaquil Barrett Jersey White , to be honest with you, especially early in camp so they know how to respond,” Leftwich said during Tuesday’s media availability when asked about how practicing against Todd Bowles’ defense benefits the offense. “Once they know how to respond to the danger of what can happen to a protection, to a passing route – once they know how to handle all of that - they’ll be fine going against any regular, old coverage.”“So, we’re putting these guys into tough situations, especially early on. These guys will be fine, they’re responding well to it.”<hr class="p-entry-hr" id="ghSzhk">While it’s not very reasonable - or fair - to expect an instant turnaround, as long as progress is made it should make the Buccaneers a better team and Leftwich knows this. “It’s going to be those types of decisions in those types of situations that will make us really consistent and a really good football team,” he said back in reference to the Ellington play. When the pressure gets dialed up, we find out who really are as people. It’s about time for the Bucs to fly.
