Tampa Bay Rookie Linebacker Josiah Trotter Reaches Rare Two-Game Tackling Milestone

Football coverage spans NFL previews and college play. One podcast reviews Nick Caley’s take on the previous week, previews the Colts’ Week 3 opponent with Colts analyst Charles Arbuckle, and discusses each team’s biggest gaps. Another weighs an impressive offense against defensive concerns after a new-stadium opener and looks ahead to a Chargers game, while a separate report highlights Buccaneers rookie linebacker Josiah Trotter, who opened his NFL career with at least 10 tackles in each of his first two games. In college football, Georgia quarterback Gunner Stockton powered the Bulldogs past Arkansas with 97 rushing yards and a touchdown pass, helping Georgia remain unbeaten and start SEC play 1-0.
Josiah Trotter and Tennessee linebacker Anthony Hill were reported as the first rookie linebackers since Fred Warner to record at least 10 tackles in each of their first two NFL games. The article also described Trotter and Tampa Bay’s secondary as the defense’s few bright spots.
The Week 2 podcast said the team’s new stadium had just been officially opened, with celebrities and former players attending; it also teased an unusually awkward interaction with one of them.
Against Arkansas, Gunner Stockton completed 10 of 13 passes for 147 yards and a touchdown, and his 97 rushing yards included a 62-yard run; the article said his running helped open up Georgia’s offense.
