Summary
Luke Goedeke said a joint practice with the Jets turned chippy after rookie David Bailey lost a one-on-one drill, shoved him, and Kingsley Enagbare then "cheap-shotted" him from the side.
The Buccaneers tackle responded by grabbing a Jets player's helmet and throwing it, later acknowledging it was the kind of act that would draw a flag in a game.
Goedeke said he regretted the decision but insisted he would not "get punked," framing the flare-up as part of the intensity that often comes with joint practices.
The incident underscored how quickly preseason joint sessions can spill over from drills into confrontations teams try to keep from carrying into actual games.
