Buccaneers’ Defensive Lineman A’Shawn Robinson enters Week Two looking to make a bigger impact against Cleveland. The veteran defensive lineman joined Tampa Bay during the offseason.
Robinson brings valuable experience to a defensive front that struggled against Cincinnati. Tampa Bay recorded only one sack and seven total pressures in Week One.
– Total Tackles: 3-5
– Sacks: 0-1
– Tackles for Loss: 1
– Quarterback Hits: 1-2
– Forced Fumbles: 0-1
Robinson’s value goes beyond his individual statistics. His ability to occupy blockers can create opportunities for Tampa Bay’s linebackers and pass rushers.
The Buccaneers need their defensive line to respond after an underwhelming season opener. Robinson should have opportunities to make his presence felt against Cleveland’s offense.
Cleveland scored only 10 points during its Week One loss to Jacksonville. The Browns also struggled to protect their quarterback, allowing five sacks.
That could create opportunities for Robinson to attack the pocket. His strength against the run should also be important throughout the afternoon.
– Total Tackles: 4
– Sacks: 0.5
– Tackles for Loss: 1
– Quarterback Hits: 1
– Forced Fumbles: 0
Robinson should provide a steadier presence along Tampa Bay’s defensive line in Week Two. I expect him to contribute against both the run and pass.
The half-sack projection reflects his ability to generate interior pressure without needing heavy pass-rush volume. Four tackles would give Robinson a solid overall performance.
Prediction: Four tackles, half a sack, one tackle for loss and one quarterback hit
