The Atlanta Falcons and Kirk Cousins exposed the Tampa Bay Buccaneers secondary as it continues to miss Antoine Winfield Jr. while he recovers from his injury. The Falcons were expected to have a dynamic passing attack but it never showed itself until it faced the Bucs in Week 5.
Despite their breakout performance that saw Cousins pass for over 500 yards, Bucs cornerback Zyon McCollum says he is not changing his style of play.
Speaking to the media on Wednesday, McCollum says he is going to continue playing aggressively. He went on to explain it “motivates” him to be able to find success in that play style and has to learn from it.
McCollum has played well this year despite his performance in Week 5. Many believe that he has a chance to earn a long-term, meaningful role with Todd Bowles directing him. The return of Antoine Winfield Jr. will help his development and make the workload more manageable.
Until then, he has to be able to handle these more significant assignments and learn as he says.
