Gabbert started Saturday night's 34-3 preseason loss to the Titans and went 3-for-6 for 33 yards. He also fumbled once but recovered.

EDGE Analysis

Despite the unremarkable numbers and the near turnover, Carmen Vitali of the Buccaneers' official site reports Arians has been very pleased with the projected No. 2 quarterback's recent work. "I think Blaine has been really, really good," said Arians. "He had great practices against [the Titans]. If we catch the ball for him, he's going to take us right down the field and score again. So I've got all the confidence in the world." Gabbert saw action in four games last season and went 9-for-16 for 143 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions, and he appears set to beat out Ryan Griffin for the top backup job for the second consecutive season.
