seasoned NFL fan can tell you how important training camp is - there is no need in discussing that topic.The first real look at the 2018 Bucs will begin when veterans report to training camp on July 25th. It’s anyone’s guess as to how camp will play out Womens Bryan Anger Jersey , with the main goal being the health of the players.Let’s take a look at some topics that are bound to spring up during training camp.Just missed the cut: The battle at RG. 1) Will Ronald Jones II take over as the No. 1 back?Bucs Nation’s own James Yarcho and David Harrison discussed the expectations for Jones in his rookie year a couple of weeks ago on their Locked On Bucs podcast. Expectations are pretty high for the former USC Trojan, as they should be. RoJo’s talent and game-breaking abilities give the Bucs a running back they really haven’t had since Warrick Dunn. In a crowded but not-so-talented backfield, he should be able to step up and take the starting spot by the end of training camp and the preseason. His main competition will likely be Peyton Barber, who had a very good finish to the 2017 season. Jacquizz Rodgers and Charles Sims have experience in the system, but that’s the only advantage they hold over Jones. 2) The improvement of the defensive lineArguably the most important detail of the offseason, all eyes will be on the revamped defensive line. There is no where to go but up in 2018, but it remains to be seen if the Bucs can get there. Jason Pierre-Paul, Vita Vea, Beau Allen, Vinny Curry, and Mitch Unrein were all brought in during the offseason to give All-Pro defensive tackle Gerald McCoy the most help he has had since he was drafted. The Bucs need Vea to put his mean face onKim Klement-USA TODAY SportsThe wildcard here is a healthy and hulked-out Noah Spence. As we all know, he had a tremendous rookie year before landing on IR early in 2017. If he can bounce back, then there should be an immediate improvement to the pass rush.3) Chris Godwin continues his upward trajectoryBuccaneers.com’s Scott Smith recently stated that Adam Humphries is well-entrenched as Tampa Bay’s slot receiver http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/jameis-winston-jersey , which is justified considering he is coming off of a career year, but it runs incongruous with the recent reports and expectations for second-year receiver Chris Godwin.Smith also mentioned that offensive coordinator Todd Monken stated Godwin “had earned the right” to start. You know football is back whenever inconsistent statements, analysis, and opinions are floating around!Regardless of what happens with Godwin, it will be important to keep tabs on his development during camp. If he continues the pace he was on from last season then he will add another valuable weapon to the Bucs’ offense.4) Ryan Fitzpatrick, Jameis Winston, and the first-team offenseWe all know that Winston is suspended for three games, but he will be allowed to practice with the team during training camp. What does this mean for Fitzpatrick and the first-team offense?Will there be an even share of reps? Will it lean more in the favor of Winston? Should Fitz get more reps at this point?You can’t blame Dirk Koetter and co if they decide to give Fitz as much practice time as possible, but you also can’t blame them for wanting to give Winston as much as possible considering the fact he won’t be able to practice with the team while he’s suspended. It’s quite the decision to make, but that’s why these guys get paid millions of dollars. A lot of eyes will be on Fitzmagic this summerKim Klement-USA TODAY Sports5) Can one of the rookie cornerbacks crack the starting rotation?It wasn’t just Tampa Bay’s defensive line that held the defense back last season. A bad pass rush coupled with a bad secondary made life hell in 2017. It became apparent that the Bucs would try and improve the secondary through the draft when the only move they made in free agency was the re-signing of Keith Tandy and Brent Grimes. M.J. Stewart and Carlton Davis were both drafted in the second round back in April. Stewart’s versatility and Davis’ size will - amongst other factors - be key in whether or not both players see the field early on.One of them should be able to at least get involved in the base and sub-package rotations. If that happens in camp, then expect the Bucs’ secondary to drastically improve. With a Week 7 victory over the Cleveland Browns the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are back to .500 on the season with a chance to get back into the green next week in Cincinnati. First things first, let’s take a look at five key moments which helped secure the Bucs’ third win of 2018.THE PLAY: The good incompletion.It’s not often you’re happy to see an incomplete pass, but in this case Authentic Peyton Barber Jersey , I certainly was.With a 9-2 lead and the ball on the Cleveland side of the fifty-yard line, Jameis Winston dropped back and scanned the field looking for an open receiver.He saw nothing. So he did what most quarterbacks do and started to get happy feet. He eventually moved up and outside of the pocket.Then, suddenly, it appeared the fourth-year quarterback was going to run the ball and Cleveland defenders started closing down on him. Just as suddenly Winston flicked his arm and wrist and the ball flew towards wide receiver Adam Humphries who had suddenly come open just slightly due to the defense reacting to Winston’s running action.Alas, the ball fell to the ground. Incomplete. For me it was a sign of what we’ve all been wanting to see out of the Buccaneers’ still young franchise quarterback.Solid field awareness, good decision making, and decisiveness. He’s not all the way there yet. But he’s improving.The pass fell incomplete, but later in the same drive when Winston attacked the line of scrimmage on a similar play the defense hesitated. They didn’t react as fast as they had the first time. Perhaps the memory of Winston throwing after running towards the line of scrimmage cost the defenders precious reaction time. Because by the time they realized Winston wasn’t interested in throwing this time, he was in the end zone for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ second touchdown of the game.THE PLAY: Kwon Alexander leaves the game.The Tampa Bay Buccaneers had put up points on three straight possessions. The Browns had punted on five. Minus the safety early in the first quarter, there weren’t really any red marks yet. But then the storm clouds began to roll in.First came the interception. With O.J. Howard running free behind the defense and with nothing between him and the end zone but a pass over the top, Winston fired a bullet right into the hands of linebacker Christian Kirksey on the Browns’ 27-yard line.Then, following another Cleveland punt, Cameron Brate fumbled his first catch of the afternoon on the Bucs’ own 19-yard line.But daylight broke and appeared to shoo away the clouds as Lavonte David poked the ball free from the clutches of quarterback Baker Mayfield as he tried to convert a clutch first-down for his team. Just then Authentic Chandler Catanzaro Jersey , everyone realized there was a Bucs player laying on the field. Injured. It was Kwon Alexander, and it was as if the foundation itself holding Raymond James Stadium sunk about six inches.Alexander hasn’t had his best season as a pro this year. We all know it and I’m sure he knew it too.But his energy was undeniable and was likely just one of the things which led to his being selected as a team captain ahead of this weekend’s game.Early reports aren’t good as NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweeted out shortly after the second-half began.Without Alexander, the Buccaneers moved forward without two of their starting three linebackers; already missing the services of Kendall Beckwith.Energy felt lower coming out of the locker room. Nick Chubb had more room to run. The Browns offense found more success over the middle of the field.Alexander wasn’t having the best season of his career, but the drop-off following his injury was visible and painful. Without a doubt, his absence is one thing which directly led to the Browns’ comeback bid and near victory.THE PLAY: O.J. and Rojo combine for the score.Up just one score, Tampa Bay had held the ball for just three minutes when they got the ball back with seven left in the third quarter.Momentum was slipping and the team needed someone to find a way to spark the offense.Alan Cross helped on the drive, converting a big fourth-down with the ball outside of field goal range but too close to punt.But the daggers came from the 26-yard line when Winston found O.J. Howard for a 24-yard gain putting the ball on the Cleveland two. On the very next snap, Ronald Jones scored the first touchdown of his career running the ball in and putting the Bucs back up by two scores.In a game which ended in overtime, and for a team who has struggled to score in the red zone, the two plays breathed new life into the team and kept the pressure on Cleveland and their rookie quarterback.THE PLAY: O.J. misses the ball.Cleveland answered Tampa Bay’s touchdown run with one of their own when rookie Nick Chubb punched it in from one-yard out.With renewed confidence in their own abilities though, the Bucs offense took the field looking to push the lead right back to two scores.Six plays later, Winston had his offense at midfield again and despite several penalties on both sides, the Bucs looked like they were orchestrating another scoring drive.On third-and-three http://www.tampabaybuccaneersteamonline.com/mike-evans-jersey , the quarterback targeted Howard again to make a big catch and move the ball into Browns territory.This time though, the ball sailed through Howard’s hands and fell harmlessly to the ground.Tampa Bay punted and Cleveland marched right back down the field against a stunned Bucs defense.With the ball on the one-yard line, head coach Hue Jackson and offensive coordinator Todd Haley put the game in the hands of Mayfield on a quarterback sneak. The Buccaneers defensive line stood up and stopped him, and all was forgiven for Howard.Or was it? Three plays later the Bucs punted again, and Jabrill Peppers brought the ball all the way back to the Tampa Bay 16-yard line. On the very next snap, Mayfield made good on his second opportunity and found Jarvis Landry for a touchdown.The game was tied, and one can’t help wonder if the usually sure handed Howard had pulled in the third-down pass two possessions prior if the Browns would have ever gotten within reach of tying the game at all.THE PLAY: JPP’s prediction comes true. Almost.Earlier in the week Jason Pierre-Paul talked about the Browns’ rookie quarterback and his ability to beat you with his legs and his arm.JPP lamented about how he wished NFL quarterbacks would just stay in the pocket because it would make his job much easier. Don’t we all.Mayfield made good on Pierre-Paul’s comments though, and facing 2nd-and-26 the quarterback escaped the defense and ran downfield for 35-yards and a new set of downs on the Tampa Bay 41-yard line. As mentioned previously, the drive ultimately ended with a failed fourth-down sneak by the same player, but had the Buccaneers defense been able to contain his legs here the entire drive could have had a much different outcome.In the end, the Browns got the first down, firmly grabbed hold of momentum and would turn it into a touchdown just eleven plays later.
