Dont get excited about that. No cooler air headed our way. Showers and thunderstorms move out towards the coast as we head through the evening hours. By 9 00 p. M. Or so, i think most of the rain will be over with though so after sunset tonight and then quiet into the overnight hours. A few though. But when you wake up tomorrow morning, it wont feel as bad as this morning did. We will be in the upper 70s to start the day. Wednesday afternoon, scattered storms develop.

Cleveland browns spending the week with the bucs and that means rg3. And it worked well for the bucs last week. They played okay and won the game. They like the heat. Let me tell you, the great chris thomas once said, its even hot in fargo this time of year. Trust me, its hot in browns camp in cleveland as well. For the seco training camp, the bucs hit the field with another nfl team. And as i mentioned, its the bucs playing host to the Cleveland Browns. And like last week in jacksonville, dirk koetter not the happiest coach on day one. There were good plays. Jameis winston to bernard. Look at that. Bucs fans will take that. Typify toes. And keeping it inbounds. Drop and Jameis Winston is going to tip a pass here. Koetter mum by the end of the workout. What didnt i like . No juice. No one wanted to practice ted. We had balls tipped, throws, bad protection. Overall, just a bad day on offense. I wasnt on the offensive field. Coach smith said over there. But and these joint practices when i only get to see half, i would want know the rest until i get in and watch it. You heard the defense mentioned. The first team today, nabbed a couple interceptions off the browns quarterback. This side of the ball has received praise throughout camp and were beginning to see why. The defensive tackle, seen it all in his time with the bucs and has hopes for the season. Know, and got a lot of experience. Really good player. And got a lot of nastiness to them. Guys that develop, really having a good camp. Coach smiths scheme is great, man. It leaves opportunities for everybody to make plays. The bucs defense held th last saturday. And thats after a good showing against the eagles keeping that offense to less than 200 total yards. The numbers are telling the story so far. How good is the defense . Its hard to tell in the pre season because we have first team, second team, third team. But last week, they came up with four intersections. The week before, four quarterback sacks so theyre doing what the scheme, as we it. The offensive line is getting the pressure. Defense wins ball games. Thats right. I think its going to be a great defense this year. Like to hear that. Well be back.
