TAMPA — Robert Ayers began the offseason calling the Bucs defense ''terrible,'' as players were learning the new system under defensive coordinator Mike Smith. So how much improvement does the Giants free agent think his new team has made as mandatory minicamp wraps up?
"We're a little less terrible," Ayers said Wednesday. "We're getting better, and that's all we can ask for. We're trying to get to the end of the tunnel, so each day is a day to get better, a day to prepare, a day for me and my guys to get to know each other better and grow as a unit and build a chemistry.
