THAT was an entertaining preseason game. Backups on the defense showed a lot of promise. Nate Brooks, Antonio Hamilton and Joe Jones impressed. That list is not exhaustive, either. On the offense, Jaelon Darden made splashes reminiscent of Tyreek Hill. Giovanni Bernard also made plays against his former team.

In other news, the Buccaneers made three cuts ahead of Tuesday's deadline to reduce the roster to 85. WR Cameron Kinley, TE De'Quan Hampton and WR Josh Pearson were the first casualties.

Devin White received his diploma from LSU last week.

The NFL has begun to release its top 100 list. As of recording, Tristan Wirfs, Shaq Barrett, Chris Godwin and JPP made the list.
