The big test for the Tennessee Titans defensive backs came when the Tampa Bay Bucs arrived on Wednesday.

Titans cornerbacks and safeties got a chance to look at not only some receivers who are different from their own guys, but some guys with explosive talent as well.

In particular, the big physical play of the Bucs’ Mike Evans apparently gave the Titans defenders some problems at times in Wednesday’s work. Combine that with DeSean Jackson’s speed and talents, and the Bucs have enough to give any team a good challenge.

“Yeah, they were sharp, they were sharp. It started right off the bat in one-on-ones; they came out smoking. Just naked eye, I thought Mike had a really good day. DeSean didn’t get quite as many opportunities, but when he did he looked good. It should be no surprise; those guys are good players,” Bucs coach Dirk Koetter said.

Koetter said that the receivers should be winning the one-on-one matchups consistently with no pass rush to balance things out.

“When it’s one-on-one, the offense should win. There’s no pass rush,” he said. “That’s an offensive drill. It evens out when you get to 11-on-11. They’ve got good corners, we’ve got good receivers – it’s fun to watch those guys compete.”
