TAMPA, Fla. – Takeways from Browns’ joint practice with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers …

1. Browns win: The teams practiced on adjacent fields, so the head coaches had to choose which one to focus on. Both coaches chose to watch their offenses. Judging from comments and our own observations, the Browns “won” each side. On offense, Terrelle Pryor beat cornerback Brent Grimes consistently, handling some pinpoint sideline throws by Robert Griffin III. Griffin was intercepted by rookie Vernon Hargreaves, intended for Andrew Hawkins, and by Ryan Smith, intended for Taylor Gabriel. Griffin also overthrew Josh Gordon once – something Brandon Weeden never was able to do. Overall, Jackson was pleased with what he saw, adding, “Obviously, we have some things to clean up. It’s unfortunate sometimes their defense got their hands on too many of our balls.” On defense, Joe Haden had an interception of a Jameis Winston pass tipped by linebacker DeMario Davis, linebacker Dominque Alexander intercepted Mike Glennon, and Jamar Taylor intercepted a pass from No. 3 QB Ryan Griffin. Afterwards, Bucs coach Dirk Koetter was anguished with his offense. “No juice, no juice. No one wanted to practice today,” he said. “We had balls tipped, we had poor throws, we had bad protection. That’s a bad combination. Overall, just a bad day on offense.”

2. Some like it hot: When practice started at 9:50 a.m., the temperature was 90 degrees and the heat index was 100. Then it warmed up. “We’ve got to handle the elements, right?” said Jackson. “It’s a little hot, little humid and I’m glad it is. The hotter the better, because that’s the way it’s gonna be when we start during the season, obviously against Miami [for Game 3 on Sept. 25].” Receiver Josh Gordon, who can stand to lose a few pounds, said, “I think we’ll all lose a bunch.” Receiver Terrelle Pryor, who credits his work ethic for keeping him on the field for every practice, said, “I’m not gonna lie. It [the oppressive conditions] hit me. I view myself and a lot of guys as very hard workers. Tomorrow should be better. It kind of takes a day or two to adapt. I think we’ll have a better day tomorrow than today.”

3. Frazzled: The Bucs took a lot of heat for using a second-round draft pick, No. 59 overall, on place-kicker Roberto Aguayo of Florida State. Aguayo has melted under the pressure and is now consulting with outside kicking coaches and what he termed “a mental coach.” Then he came out Tuesday and missed 3 of his 6 field goal tries, causing more consternation among coaches and Bucs VIP visitors in attendance. “He’s struggling a little bit right now. So he’s got to work his way through it. We’ve talked to him. He knows what he has to do,” Koetter said. Meanwhile, former Bucs kicker Patrick Murray continues to hold off incumbent Travis Coons for the Browns’ place-kicking job. Murray was 4 for 4 on Tuesday while Coons was 2 for 3. If Aguayo doesn’t snap out of it, the Bucs may look for a replacement, so Coons could be auditioning right before their eyes. “I wouldn’t think that’s an option,” Koetter said about replacing Aguayo, “but that would be a question for Jason [Licht, Bucs GM].”

4. Observations: Rookie receiver Corey Coleman appeared limited in team work. Pryor said, “He’ll be back [Wednesday].” On special teams, Coleman muffed the first punt and a scramble for the loose ball ensued … Four-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy returned to Bucs practice after turning an ankle in joint workouts with the Jaguars last week. McCoy doesn’t line up directly over the center, so he didn’t have much to say about Browns center Cam Erving, who was Jameis Winston’s center the last five games at Florida State in 2015. “I didn’t go against him today. He seemed alright to me. I’d have to look at the film and I’ll be able to answer that question better tomorrow,” McCoy said.
