The first day of padded (well Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hats , somewhat) practice was today and damn, it was hot. An early breeze quickly faded as the day progressed and soon enough, my ginger-self was roasting like a marshmallow over a campfire.That didn’t stop the Bucs from making some good plays in training camp. It’s still early, but it’s encouraging to semi-starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick connecting with receivers early-on for big plays. It’s encouraging to see MJ Stewart stepping up and making plays. And it’s encouraging to see the coaching staff get creative with major pieces like Jason Pierre-Paul.My excellent cameraman skills caught some today’s big plays just for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy them below!MJ Stewart sacks Ryan FitzpatrickAs mentioned above, both players are making plays early in camp. On this play, Stewart comes from Fitzpatrick’s blind side and well Tampa Bay Buccaneers Hoodie , if this were a game, Fitz would’ve eaten some dirt - take that to the bank. It’s also worthy to take stock in the fact that this was during an 11-on-11 drill. Stewart’s versatility is coming in handy thus far. Mike Evans’ awesome sideline grabMike Evans made two major plays today on the sideline. Check out Pewter Report’s awesome video of his first catch over Brent Grimes. He then later made a spectacular, acrobatic catch on the sideline where he tip-toed his way to a complete catch. The first play was with Fitzpatrick throwing the ball and the second was with Jameis Winston. The only difference was one drill - Fitzpatrick’s - was an 11-on-11 while Winston’s was a 7-on-7. Regardless of quarterback or situation, it’s good to see Evans finding chemistry with whomever, whenever. Gettin’ physicalI’ve watched this play over thirty times and even though it’s hard to tell which two players are involved, I think it’s Alan Cross and Nigel Harris.The supposed-Harris comes flying in like a missile and the maybe-Cross does just about all he can to ward him off. Football’s back Customized Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jerseys , baby.Fitzpatrick finding the right spotWe all know that Fitzpatrick is a veteran who has seen just about everything in the NFL. On this play, even though it’s 7-on-7, we see him just sit back and find the open man. One is led to believe that if this play is blocked correctly, then oftentimes this will be the final result. Even more encouraging is the fact that it’s Adam Humphries that’s on the receiving end of this one. Fitzpatrick loves to spread the ball around when he can and nothing’s changed.Winston and Brate doing their thingOne of the more effective quarterback-tight end duos in the league, Winston finds Brate on a quick pass for a moderate gain. Winston needs all the time he get with the first-team players. Coming off a weekend of drama and story lines, the Buccaneers’ initial injury report is raising some eyebrows - and concerns. Fitzmagic is back in Tampa Bay www.authenticstampabaybuccaneers.com , but there are some stars that missed practice Wednesday that could be huge blows should they not be able to play in Sunday’s game at Carolina.Leading receiver Mike Evans was held out with a knee injury. Hopefully this is just a day for him to rest and by Sunday he’ll be good to go.Jason Pierre-Paul also missed practice, as has become the norm for him on Wednesdays.Gerald McCoy did return in a limited capacity which is encouraging, while Vita Vea wasn’t listed at all despite getting an MRI Monday for fear of a torn ACL.Ronald Jones will miss some time due to the pulled hamstring, so don’t expect him to suit up this weekend.For the Panthers, Cam Newton and Greg Olsen were limited but expect both to play while Julius Peppers was held out.
