Tampa put on a show in the 30 to 13 win over the Cleveland Browns and both sides of the ball showed great signs of how good they can be. Here are a list of the positives to take away from it all.Offensive Line:Many bucs fans seemed to be worried about the oline as if they weren't one of the strengths of this team and without question they proved it yesterday. Even without offseason acquisition J.R. Sweezy, Ali Marpet and Kevin Pamphile the offensive line had their way with the Browns Dline. One lineman in particular that stood out was fill in guard Josh Allen as he was mauling guys on every play and no doubt showed his value to coaches as well as showing the depth of the Oline. Winston consistently had time to make throws and work through his progressions, evident by the multiple down the field throws.Defensive Line:The Dline line looked terrific. The overall speed across the line is amazing. McCoy and Ayers looked like the veterans they are and consistently pushed the pocket. Jack Smith and Noah Spence when in together were flying around the corners drawing RG3 in to McCoy and company. The Dline accounted for 7 of the 8 sacks on the night and always seemed to rush the throws. Most of the sacks came on 4 man rushes which brings back signs of the bucs great Dlines of the past. Can't forget to mention William Gholston and Howard Jones who both got sacks yesterday and continue to make plays.Special Teams:Robert Aguayo! He was no doubt the biggest question mark of the preseason. Everyone thought his confidence was shot and that he was a waste of a second round pick. Well he proved that he can make kicks going 6 for 6, 3 Field goals of 48, 21 and 27 yards and 3 extra points. Its only one preseason game but going 100% is movement in the right direction, especially when the first kick was the deep 48 yard kick after having to face all the scrutiny all week. Aguayo is no doubt the bucs kicker and the more kicks he gets the better. Also the punt return team looked great. Adam Humphries had a 73 yard return for a touchdown but it was mainly from key blocks from guys like starting CB Verner and Rookie Noah Spence.No huddle Offense:Pretty much the entire first half the bucs were in a no huddle offense. Winston took total control of the offense and made plenty of nice reads to dismantle the Browns defense. Yes, there weren't many rushing plays but there often isn't going to many during a 2 minute no huddle offense. Winston came out of the game with 259 yards and 2 touchdowns in one half. Beautiful numbers which were mostly run in the no huddle offense and best of all, NO interceptions.Winston/Evans Connection:Winston and Evans look as if they are both ready for week one. Evans seems to have found his hands again as he caught everything that touched his fingers. They hooked up on many timing throws and plenty trust throws where Evans is just bigger than the corner and Winston is throwing it up exception Evans to win the battle. Evans came out with 5 catches for 115 yards and 1, 37 yard touchdown that was a thing of beauty. They are primed for one productive season.These are good signs but again it is preseason and can't get too high as there is more work to be done. The main thing is the team will be full strength for the most part to start the regular season which is 2 weeks away.
