Offensive cordinator Dave Canales.

This sounds really, really whacked, but when Joe learned the Bucs missed out on Jets reject running back Michael Carter this week, Joe wanted to start doing shots to celebrate. (more…)

Hot seat chatter.

So let it be written; so let it be done. (more…)

Yes, the Bucs have a 4-5 record. Yes, the Bucs have problems. (more…)

Bucs LT Tristan Wirfs.

Joe hears all the hollering and braying and stomping of feet (as usual) about how the Bucs have a worse offensive line than Northside Christian. (more…)

Consider Joe baffled that the Bucs can’t figure out how to have a slightly below average rushing attack with an elite superstar monster of an athlete at left tackle who weighs 360 pounds.

That’s right — 360! (more…)

Out.

Good news on the Bucs injury front. Only fan-punching-bag safety Ryan Neal has been ruled out of Sunday’s game at San Franciso.

Carlton Davis (toe) is set to return, and Mike Evans (quad), Luke Goedeke (foot) and Devin White (foot) will play through their minor issues. Starting left guard (former starting guard?) Matt Feiler is back from his knee injury.

Hey Bucs, it’s Week 11. You’re a relatively healthy team with quality talent and a ton on the line. No reason to come out flat, or to look like a punching bag.

But what disturbes Joe is that so many think Tampa Bay cannot compete. (more…)

This saddens Joe. (more…)

Bucs edge rusher Markees Watts. (Photo courtesy Buccaneers.com.)

Look, Joe would love nothing more than for rookie edge rusher Markees Watts to totally blow up and become the second coming of Simeon Rice. (more…)

Defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers.

Last year the Bucs went out to NoCal to play the 49ers and got their arses kicked. Physically beat up. (more…)

Sick stat.

Joe will start this morning off with a cool story about how a coach, against his conscience, decided to mold an offense around his talent. (more…)

Defies probabilities.

So the NextGen Stats elves are playing with their completion probability numbers. And they seem to like Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield. (more…)

All-World Bucs left/right tackle Tristan Wirfs draws a hard line at four feet. (more…)

Can the Bucs offense handle the truth?

Playcaller Dave Canales went there today and explained that his unit must be prepared for an ultimate wakeup call — good or bad. (more…)
