Talks expectations.

Today, Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy held court, per his custom on Thursdays. With a fire of fan unrest simmering about his play, GMC talked about expectations. (more…)

Next great tight end? (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

It is always refreshing to hear nice things said about Bucs players from one of the best to ever play the game.

However, given what Joe currently knows, this high compliment seems premature if not dubious. (more…)

Derrick Brooks speaks to fans

Living legend Derrick Brooks made a call to Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans yesterday — and it wasn’t about making plans for a playoff run. (more…)

No. 99, iconic Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, is making demands of Gerald McCoy. (more…)

So what changed for America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, after his gruesome, four-interception performance against the Carolina Panthers 5 1/2 weeks ago? (more…)

Does Joe head to strip clubs and/or poker rooms when finished wrestling with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig, every Wednesday?

No. Joe listens to Gerald McCoy open windows to his soul on the Buccaneers Radio Network. (more…)

Selfish players leading to penalties?

Lovie Smith’s defense is beset by penalties.

Wheter it is maddening calls for lining up in the neutral zone, or just downright dumb penalties for unnecessary roughness, the mental lapses on defense are fueling the Bucs to become the most penalized team in NFL history. (more…)

Jason Licht should be smiling

Legendary personnel guru and architect of the first Cowboys dynasty, Gil Brandt, is still grinding away in his 80s, traveling the country scouting players and working for NFL.com and SiriusXM NFL Radio..

Yesterday, Brandt identified 10 rookies that could possibly make a Pro Bowl this season. (more…)

“It messed my whole day up,” says Demar Dotson.

Little bit of fun over at One Buc Palace yesterday. Well, not so much fun for offensive tackle Demar Dotson. (more…)

Still haunting.

Of all the swings and misses Bucs coach Lovie Smith made in free agency last year (Anthony Collins and Stewart McClown to name a couple) none was more sinister than signing Ghost Johnson. (more…)

The Big Dog, Steve Duemig

It was time again this evening for Joe to dive into the steel cage with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620. (more…)

Joe had a simple question for Lovie Smith today in the wake of the massive cornerbacks shakeup Sunday. (more…)

It seems, sometimes, Lovie’s players on defense don’t get it.

Interesting back and forth yesterday afternoon when Woody Cummings of the Tampa Tribune made his weekly appearance on Miller and Moulton on WWCN-FM 99.3 in Fort Myers. (more…)

Joe asked Dirk Koetter today about his apparent disinterest in analytics and data. Koetter unloaded, “I don’t need a freakin’ piece of paper.”

It’s safe to say Bucs’ offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter doesn’t subscribe to Pro Football Focus.

Joe’s not surprised, considering PFF data is about as valuable as Joe’s advice on courting hotties. (more…)

Jameis is looking for TDs.

Had the Bucs converted their red zone opportunities on offense last Sunday against the Giants, they likely would have won. (more…)

Vincent Jackson may not be able to practice, but he is still keeping his hands sharp.

Just a quick practice update from One Buc Palace:

Vincent Jackson was in shorts but that doesn’t mean he is resting today. Jackson caught a lot of balls gunned out of a Jugs machine. From what Joe has heard previously, it would be very much a surprise if Jackson plays Sunday against the Cowboys, but at least he is keeping his pass-catching skills sharp. (more…)

Mike Evans has a plan to help raise his game. (more…)

Play of rookies like RG Ali Marpet is not the problem for the Bucs.

On this Veteran’s Day, those who served in the Armed Forces should be proud, and so should all Americans for their service.

But for the football veterans on the Bucs, this season is not (yet) something to be proud of. (more…)

The Bucs make the correct call and won’t mess with the offensive line and starting right tackle Gosder Cherilus

Demar Dotson has returned to the Buccaneers’ roster and will not start Sunday, he revealed with a somber tone this afternoon. (more…)

Ali Marpet

Good news from the Bucs’ locker room this afternoon started with Ali Marpet walking around with his injured ankle bare and only a slight limp. (more…)

The Bucs already have attempted more field goals through half of this season than they did all of last year. (more…)

Would you toss your infant to Mike Evans? (more…)
