It’s painfully clear how desperate Bucs fans are for an edge rusher. (more…)

During the 2013 college football season, Joe thought Brett Hundley was the next best stud quarterback. After Jameis Winston, that is. Joe was really impressed. (more…)

A Duck on the Bucs’ radar?

No, Joe does not have NCAA Men’s Basketball fever, but Joe would like to see a big, athletic, active offensive lineman on the Buccaneers.

One of those guys might have been on display yesterday in Oregon. (more…)

Joe watched University of Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota’s Pro Day on NFL Network yesterday.

It was rather boring. Mariota looked alright, but a little uncomfortable in his NFL-style scripted throwing session. (more…)

Practicing what he preaches.

Bucs general manager Jason Licht was not bashful telling folks one of the most important lessons he ever learned in the NFL came while working alongside Bill Belicheat. (more…)

Bucs fans from near and far were glued to the NFL Network Thursday, thirsty for any drop of Greg Hardy news.

Joe was just riddled with questions yesterday about defensive end Greg Hardy possibly coming to the Bucs.

Joe couldn’t answer because he didn’t have an answer. It intrigued Joe as well. (more…)

Joe loves Mike Mayock’s draft guru work on NFL Network, but it’s becoming clear that Mayock is struggling trying to evaluate Jameis Winston off the field. (more…)

Another new signing reveals the bigger picture

Yes, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed likely backup cornerback Sterling Moore in free agency late this afternoon.

But Moore represents a bigger picture. (more…)

Love and respect for Lovie Smith is what draws most of his players to the Buccaneers head coach. In other circles, it is called relationships.

New Bucs defensive lineman Henry Melton played with Lovie in Chicago and knows him well. (more…)

The Falcons have signed BoyDog, former Bucs defensive end Adrian Clayborn, and they obviously think he can play like one. (more…)

Eagles are shopping guard Evan Mathis.

You know the Bucs need a right guard. Joe knows they need a right guard. Hell, the Bucs know they need a right guard.

Now the Bucs believe that since left guard Logan Mankins has found a place to practice his barbecue pitmaster skills, they are good at left guard. (more…)

Lovie Smith and GMC sold free agent defensive lineman Henry Melton on the Bucs.

New Bucs defensive lineman Henry Melton didn’t even try to dodge or BS about why he is now a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs. It was because of two guys: Lovie Smith and Gerald McCoy. (more…)

New Bucs defensive tackle Henry Melton had five sacks for the Cowboys last year.

How refreshing to hear a free agent Buccaneer come to One Buc Palace and talk about what he has to prove. (more…)

New Bucs safety Chris Conte

New Bucs safety Chris Conte was very emphatic today at One Buc Palace when Joe asked Conte about wearing John Lynch’s No. 47 during his four seasons with the Bears. (more…)

New Buccaneer Henry Melton speaks

Brand new Bucs defensive tackle Henry Melton, a former Pro Bowler, played Gerald McCoy’s position under Lovie Smith with the Bears.

So where will he fit in with the Bucs? (more…)

Crab-legs-stealing, BB-gun-shooting, obscenity-hollering, Heisman-Trophy-winning, former national champion Jameis Winston, the pride of Florida State University, continues to look like a much better quarterback prospect than Mike Glennon.

It’s Joe’s daily nugget on the Jameis Watch, celebrating the best quarterback ever to wear No. 5 in the state of Florida. (more…)
