No. 89 will be missed
Rookie wide receiver Russell Shepard joins the double-digit tally of Buccaneers lost for the season because of injury, the team announced today.
Not a big deal. Right? Well, not really.
Shepard was a special teams ace in all phases, so Dave Wannstedt explained to Joe.
Sadly, Shepard will be best remembered as the guy on the wrong end of Eric Page’s ill-advised handoff Sunday.
Mighty Rams DE Robert Quinn is up next
A veteran left tackle gets beat a couple of times and fans are ready to run him out of town. Such is the case with Donald Penn.
Sunday against the 49ers wasn’t his best. But the week before, with Mario Williams and the NFL’s top sack unit of the Bills across the line of scrimmage, Penn stood strong. (By the way Buffalo rebounded Sunday with five sacks.)
Penn is set to earn $6.4 million next season at a critical position. (more…)
Longtime national radio star Todd Wright sits in for Tampa Bay sports radio icon Steve Duemig this afternoon, and Joe and Wright will talk all things Bucs for an hour starting at 5 p.m.
It’s the “Wednesday JoeBucsFan Hour!” You don’t want to miss it. And tune in at 4 to hear the great Derrick Brooks talk all things Bucs and college football.
It’s must-listen radio for Bucs fans!
Schiano responds
There’s no greater off-the-field NFL theater than a head coach taking unfiltered calls from fans on live radio.
Unfortunately, Chucky had no interest in talking to the masses, but Tony Dungy, Raheem Morris and Greg Schiano embraced the madness. Schiano’s taken real darts over the past couple of years (along with plenty of love), and a sharp one was fired at him Monday on WDAE-AM 620. (more…)
David’s status highlights the urgency at One Buc
Joe was intrigued by what former Jets linebackers coach and front office man Pat Kirwan, of CBS Sports and SiriusXM NFL Radio, had to see about Lavonte David.
Yes, David’s a great player. But Kirwan explained that David is “what everybody’s looking for in the modern game.” (more…)

The Bucs had a tough time tackling people Sunday, apparently a season-long plague.
Joe watched in amazement Sunday how the Bucs struggled to bring 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and running back Frank Gore to the ground. Those were two reasons the 49ers dominated the Bucs.
But Joe wrote that off, initially, as a fluke. Kaepernick is one of the hardest guys to tackle in the NFL. The dude is big, strong and elusive. It’s not like trying to tackle an immobile object like Matty Ice. (more…)
Josh Freeman never led an offense as bad as the Bucs offense is now.
Ears still ring from all the hollering on local sports radio the past couple of days about how awful (except for two possessions) the Bucs offense was, how poorly (except for two possessions) quarterback Mike Glennon was, and how the Bucs offense seems to be getting worse by the week instead of improving.
Then, in a bizarre explanation during what seemed like a record-long press conference Monday, Bucs commander Greg Schiano, said he didn’t go back to a hurry-up offense in the loss to the 49ers, the only time the Bucs appeared to have a pulse offensively — and scored two touchdowns — because, in part, the team hadn’t practiced it in the days leading up to the game.

Bucs commander Greg Schiano explains why he didn’t run the hurry-up offense more Sunday, despite its success.
The Bucs offense Sunday, for all but two possessions, was about as miserable as you will ever see. Word is Will Muschamp watched the game from Gainesville and grew nauseated. The offense was so bad Father Dungy wanted to kill off a bottle of Crown.
The offense was so bad, Trent Dilfer was laughing.
Again, that was the Bucs offense for all but two possessions. Of the 13 possessions the Bucs had against the 49ers, there were two scoring drives and the remaining 10 possessions the Bucs gained a grand total of 11 yards. (more…)
A former Buc weighs in
There’s still two games to play this season, which means the Bucs could rack up another 400 yards of offense, but who’s your Bucs’ offensive MVP right now?
Bobby Rainey? He’s been the running back leading the team to four wins, coming off his couch to average 4.3 yards per carry (106 attempts) and not fumbling.
Vincent Jackson? A former Buccaneer has a different pick. (more…)
It blows Joe away that there are actually people out there who still hate Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. These are simply little people, who clearly don’t watch games and must have agendas or unresolved childhood issues because they don’t like nice people. (more…)
