Bucs OC Dirk Koetter explains why America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, may have an easier transition to the NFL than other drafted quarterbacks.

Joe knows many fans go nuts when they hear or read this: The spread-option offense, so popular in college, is killing the NFL.

First, look at the roadkill of spread quarterbacks littering ditches outside NFL facilities. For every spread QB that makes it, it seems a half-dozen or more are thrown aside. (more…)

Bucs C Evan Smith found a way for him and his fellow offensive linemen to bond: blowing away targets.
