Joe’s got practice video

Multimedia Joe aims to please, and what could be more pleasing than Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback completing a quick strike? (more…)

Joe was back in the steel cage this evening with the dean of Tampa Bay sports radio, Steve Duemig of WDAE-AM 620.

The “JoeBucsFan Hour” returned for madness and mayhem and all kinds of takes out of training camp. (more…)

Charley Casserly of NFL Network is a big fan of Austin Seferian-Jenkins.

Joe will never forget after a memorable training camp practice last year, where Bucs linebackers struggled to stop tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Joe mentioned to ASJ that he had a helluva day. (more…)

Bucs RT Demar Dotson is on this third rookie starting quarterback.

Bucs right tackle Demar Dotson won’t say it, but Joe is guessing he’s had his fill of rookie quarterbacks.

Dotson was not starting in 2009 when then-rookie, leaky, sleepy Josh Freeman started every game after the Bucs left London with their tails between their legs. (more…)

Finally! Sunshine and broiling humid conditions at One Buc Palace for training camp. Order is restored. Joe’s got all kinds of goodies and your need to know from Day 4.

Enjoy! (more…)

Running back by committee?

Based on the news that seeped out of One Buc Palace this spring and summer, it seems new offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter may have saved Doug Martin’s gig. (more…)

As Joe wrote yesterday, Jameis Winston was given a homework assignment by Derrick Brooks.

So Joe asked Jameis about that today to see if he completed his assignment. (more…)

Joe’s got video of the Jacquies Smith/Donovan Smith battle today

Tampa Bay fans have been crying for an edge pass rush. They’ve also been weeping for a left tackle since Donald Penn left the building.

Today at practice, Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith joined the first team offensive line. (more…)

Don’t worry about Jameis’ picks, said Bucs CB Alterraun Verner. Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.

Yes, “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, had a shaky performance today — good passes and ugly picks.

Just like yesterday, he started out Gabbert-like with two picks in his first three passes, but quickly got over the shakes and the longer practice went, threw better and better. (more…)

The steamy fields of One Buc Palace were broiling this morning for Day 4 of training camp.

And after two interceptions by Jameis Winston, in his first three throws of 11-on-11 work, America’s Quarterback was on the hot seat. (more…)

Bucs second-year wide receiver Robert Herron

Once upon a time, the Bucs gave $10 million guaranteed to a wide receiver who already had proven he had Jell-O hands and Vaseline fingers (no, not a tight end.)

It was mind-numbing. A team just can’t carry a receiver that can’t catch. (more…)

Look, no one pined, beat the drum, hollered from rooftops, and coerced more bartenders that the Bucs needed to draft “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, more than Joe. (more…)

Joe is well aware Bucs fans are nauseous in the pits their stomachs about the woeful status of their franchise.

Losers of 70 of the past 100 games, the Bucs are at the bottom of the NFL with the Jags in total losses since the Bucs jettisoned Chucky (and that factors in Raheem Morris’ stunning 10-6 season in 2010). (more…)

Last chance.

Bucs fans don’t want to hear it, but Joe thinks the re-signing of former second-round pick Da’Quan Bowers last week was a smart move.

Look, the guy is coming in as camp meat. He’s being paid as camp meat. No promises were offered. Prove it or lose it. (more…)

If America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, wants to have a visible freakout because he threw an interception — like he did too often in yesterday’s practice — then Lovie Smith is just fine with that. (more…)

Bucs C Evan Smith has finally given up his silent treatment of “America’s Quarterback.”

Progress is being made at One Buc Palace.

And it has to do with the two guys who touch the ball on every offensive play: veteran center Evan Smith and “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Bucs second round pick, guard Ali Marpet, talks to Joe about his NFL learning curve.

Maybe it was a good thing there was a flooding emergency of sorts in Tampa and the Bucs closed what was an open practice this afternoon, in part, to keep people safe and off the local rivers streets. (more…)

It sure is soggy at One Buc Palace, but the Bucs threw on the pads and hit each other for the first practice today. Joe got a first-hand look.

Enjoy! (more…)

Everyone knows Mike Evans had a couple of training sessions this offseason with eventual Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss.

Evans already explained to Joe that Moss is one of the “tightest dudes” he’s ever met, but what did they really work on? (more…)

Clinton McDonald

The Bucs were grinding at a fast pace today at practice. The pads were finally on, and 11-on-11 was in full swing with live blocking.

Late in the two-plus hour session, guard Kadeem Edwards was roasted, and then Logan Mankins, on successive snaps. (more…)
