Seems Bucs C Evan Smith and “America’s Quarterback” were at odds a fair amount of time in OTAs.

Joe always wondered what the hair was up Bucs center Evan Smith’s tailpipe about “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.

For the longest time, the marginal center acted in public as if Jameis had farted in his dinner plate. (more…)

ASJ needs to knock off the Michael Clayton impersonation.

It is beginning to worry Joe. Through seven training camp practices, tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has been unable to come up with easy catches.

It began last Saturday night in the first practice, when “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, hit ASJ right in the hands for a short pass and it was if the ball hit a rock. Incomplete. (more…)

Yes, that’s Gerald McCoy writhing in pain after colliding with fullback Jorvorskie Lane

Rain delayed today’s training camp practice by 90 minutes, but the Bucs got their full work in and Joe’s got your need-to-know notes and observations. (more…)

Joe’s got video

It’s the combination for which every Bucs fan yearns.

And Tampa Bay faithful were treated to it this evening at One Buc Palace — sort of. (more…)

Joe’s written quite a bit over the past two practices about rookie Division-III right guard Ali Marpet. The Buccaneers’ second-round pick has looked capable — sometimes more than capable — running with the first team in full pads.

On WDAE-AM 620 this afternoon, Bucs general manager Jason Licht skyrocketed hopes even more when it comes to Marpet. (more…)

Wow, Joe is really happy that Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht joined Joe live on WDAE-AM 620 during a special Saturday afternoon broadcast from Bucs training camp at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Gerald McCoy offered a glimpse into his preparation.

Sure, the Bucs’ offense is breaking its collective butt to find an identity with a new offensive coordinator, a new system and a 21-year-old rookie quarterback.

But life is different among the guys wearing the red training camp jerseys. (more…)

It’s another soggy, soaked day at One Buc Palace with more rain on the way. The Buccaneers’ sixth day of training camp practice, scheduled for 2:30 p.m., has been rescheduled for 5 p.m.

Of course, that still could change.

The good news is you can kill time and dive into all things Bucs on the radio with Joe from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on WDAE-AM 620. Yes, Joe is live at One Buc Palace and has the microphone. Listen online at 620wdae.com.

Lovie is missing an ingredient

Good pass rushers have that sixth sense, an ability to sniff out a quarterback and put him to the ground.

It’s not just about dominating an offensive lineman, like Bucs defensive end like Larry English did yesterday (scroll down for video) to Donovan Smith and Demar Dotson. (more…)

ESPN and NFL Films analyst Ron Jaworski talks training camp interceptions and “America’s Quarterback.”

Joe knows Bucs fans got nervous, and haters of “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, celebrated that Jameis had six interceptions in his first week of his first NFL training camp. (more…)

Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith

The Bucs have a very hungry corps of defensive ends, “yungry,” as Raheem Morris liked to say.

Larry English has the most career sacks at that position (12), and he’s the elder statesman and best known for being the Chargers’ first-round bust in 2009. (more…)

Plenty of work ahead for Jameis. Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.

Imagine the whirlwind that “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, has been through this year.

First, he was grilled by many NFL teams interested in his services, bouncing from city to city, all the while working on improving his mechanics. (more…)

A win for the defense is a head-shaking moment for the offense. It’s the see-saw of training camp.

But anything that can lead to the impaling of Jamies Winston, America’s Quarterback, is a bit troubling. (more…)

Johnthan Banks talks how “America’s Quarterback” has improved since May.

As Joe wrote earlier, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, had an up-and-down day. He started off sluggish — his habit through a week of training camp — and later had solid moments. (more…)

Busy day at Bucs training camp practice this afternoon. Tampa Bay practiced before a packed house of season pass holders, plus a crew of 30 BSPN SportsCenter crew.

Of course, Joe was there to soak it all in and provide your need-to-know. Enjoy! (more…)

The ups and downs of rookie training camp continued for “America’s Quarterback” Friday.

Yesterday, Joe saw it with his own eyes. “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, looked every bit the part of a quarterback drafted No. 1 overall. He was sharp. (more…)

Robert Herron has had a knack for getting wide open and actually holding on to footballs this summer in first-team action.

It’s easy to love a wide receiver with blazing speed and a knack for getting open with crisp route running, but if the guy has Michael Clayton hands, then he’s downright useless. (more…)
