Line shift for Bucs: Jace Daniels now getting look at first-team guard, Jamon Meredith focusing on tackle for now.
It appears first-year pro Jace Daniels is the next man up for that opportunity. The former undrafted rookie from Northern Michigan spent most of last season on the practice squad, but in Sunday’s practice, took all the reps at right guard with the first team.
“Jamon didn’t play as well as he needed to, so we’re going to let him concentrate a little bit more at the tackle position and give that next group of guards an opportunity,’’ Bucs coach Lovie Smith said. In order to get to the first team … you have to do some good things at practice, and Jace has been doing that throughout, whether it be at center or guard,’’ Smith said.
