What makes a draft class go from OK to great is how many guys picked on the third day of the draft make the team, start and have an impact. (more…)

Important season.

Is this a make-or-break year for Bucs outside linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka? From a career standpoint, no. From a money standpoint, yes. (more…)

Bucs LT Tristan Wirfs.

So, how badly did Bucs All-World right tackle Tristan Wirfs want to move to left tackle? The way Wirfs answered a question about the move made Joe wonder. (more…)

So in recent weeks, it seems more and more players are getting popped for violating NFL rules on gambling. (more…)

But Bowles was talking a little health this afternoon. (more…)
