Joe had a simple question for Mike Evans yesterday, one he easily could have blown off or answered with vague nothingness. (more…)

Listen to what the man said.
Todd Monken calls plays and calls it like it is with equal distinction. Tampa Bay’s refreshingly candid offensive coordinator recently acknowledged what Buc fans have suspected all along — this team was mentally weak in 2017. (more…)

The Bucs came within 30 seconds of their first 3-0 preseason start since 1999, when they advanced to the NFC championship game.
Let’s not get carried away, I don’t see the second coming of Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks or Ronde Barber out there, but I don’t see a 5-11 club, either.
Tampa Bay’s 20-6 halftime advantage was well deserved because the Bucs outplayed the Lions in all three phases. The start of the game was delayed an hour by dodgy weather, but the real storm front was an offensive line that manhandled Detroit on the opening drive.
If you didn’t see the game, shame on you. Here’s what you missed: (more…)
Mike Evans needs to “take the hits.”
The stat pattern says Mike Evans is poised for a monster season in 2018.
But if Evans does get back to his 2014 or 2016 form, it will be because he’s just following his simple formula. (more…)
DeSean Jackson has returned a grand total of three punts in the past four seasons for a grand total of -5 yards.

Teammate breaks him down
“I mean, if Vernon was your starting nickel and you had another guy you liked at the other corner opposite [Brent] Grimes, there isn’t another team in the league that wouldn’t like to have Vernon Hargreaves as their nickel. You usually don’t pick a guy in the first round to be your nickel. Stuff works out how it works out. Vernon is going to be a big part of what we do. I know he’s anxious to get started. He wants to be an every down player. But at the very least, Vernon’s going to be our starting nickel.” Dirk Koetter, March 2018 (more…)
Unique take.
Sometimes his off-field stunts make one wonder. But America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, is a very bright guy. (more…)
What an inspiration Jason Pierre-Paul is.
Man, after watching this, Joe almost believes that one man can transform this Buccaneers defense.
Don’t skip this one. JPP was on Good Morning Football today on NFL Network. There’s a reason Joe’s not writing about this; you must watch.
