Joe feels very good about the Bucs opening the season against Minnesota in 119 short days for one primary reason. (more…)

“I played for a defense-first coach, too, Kyle. But he was different than most.”

Is Kyle Trask on the wrong football team?

A former Pro Bowl quarterback dropped very harsh words last week when it comes to defense-first head coaches like Todd Bowles developing a young QB. (more…)

Harold Goodwin explains.

From time to time (often when Joe publishes practice notes), Joe will be asked how an offensive lineman or a linebacker looked during underwear football. (more…)

Bucs rookie DB Josh Hayes.

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.
