Mr. Blocked Kick, Corey Lynch, took time out from sweating to speak on the Buccaneers Radio Network following the preseason-opening loss to the Dolphins Saturday night.

On the blocked punt: “I got free and stretched out. I couldn’t get up too easy in that mud. I think we will be a solid unit. We’re learning our roles. I was just able to beat my guy, feel [the play] out and if it’s there, take it.

“A knack for blocks? Oh, I dunno. If it takes making interceptions, making tackles, blocking kicks, I will do it.

“I almost feel like a new guy since we installed this defense late [last] year. I am just starting to mentally grasp this defense.”
