Rookie Dexter Jackson returned a punt 83 yards in the Bucs’ 16-6 win over the Texans, which won him the starting job as a returner.
Matt Bryant, who missed three field goals going into the game, missed two more, and the Texans will discuss the issue before the season opener.
Rookie right guard Jeremy Zuttah, who’s been a starter for only a week, didn’t take a single snap.
Fighting for the last quarterback job, Luke McCown went 5-for-5 for 52 yards and Josh Johnson was 4-for-8 for 56 yards. Chris Simms went 9-for-15 for 71 yards and interception, but is expected to be released.
Johnson led three drives that ended in field goals.
The team is interested in signing former Bear left tackle Fred Miller.

I don’t see why the Texans care whether or not Matt Bryant is choking, so why would they discuss it?

Just goes to show what a gem the Bucs got in Zuttah, and how much Gruden trusts that he can handle the job.

doclobster: The Texans are a very caring football team. They’ll probably discuss the Bucs kicking situation for hours on end:
“Those poor Bucs! I surely hope they get their field goal kicking situation straightened out. Let’s discuss this for a few more hours!”
