Sneak was freed.

Sunday’s 2023 debut of running back Ke’Shawn “Sneak” Vaughn presumably was because he’s a good football player and had jumped undrafted rookie Sean Tucker on the depth chart.

That may not be the whole truth. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht on QB Baker Mayfield.

It seems Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht knew Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield was a guy’s guy before the rest of us learned Mayfield got a woody on the football field over a play developing. (more…)

Admits mistake.

Well, it wasn’t exactly an “Ohio Herb” moment. But it was a mea culpa from a prominent chronicler of the NFL who predicted the Bucs would be horrific this year. (more…)

Hitting like Tony Gwynn.

Now these draft stats are something Joe had no clue about. And they are mindblowing. (more…)

Still involved.

Really cool insight into offensive line play, team building and how the Bucs have rebuilt the line from none other than the architect himself. (more…)

Potent on third downs.

This shocked Joe. And not many things do when it comes to football. (more…)

Leader.

Prickly Pete Prisco is kicking himself for this. (more…)

The original version of Chris Godwin mic’d up Sunday is quite different from the one re-published minutes ago on YouTube, via the official Tampa Bay Buccaneers account. (more…)

It’s best to pay attention when six-time Pro Bowler Gerald McCoy, the retired Bucs defensive tackle, talks about the Buccaneers.

McCoy has close friends in the Tampa Bay locker room and a keen understanding of all things Bucs. (more…)

Joe loves the low key anger rumbling through a segment of the Buccaneers roster. (more…)

NFL history shows it’s hard to have a crappy record with a top-10 defense in the category of points allowed. (more…)

No. 1 tight end Cade Otton

When Joe thinks of things the Bucs might do before the Halloween trade deadline to enhance the roster for a Super Bowl run, Joe thinks of tight end — immediately after running back help. (more…)

Reflects on week off.

When a team gets a bye is pretty damn important. (more…)

Update.

Joe has noticed in the comments on this here website a growing frustration over the absence of first-round pick, defensive tackle Calijah Kancey. (more…)

The word from longtime ESPN NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler is that Mike Evans is heading to the MRI chamber for a look at the hamstring he pulled/tweaked Sunday in New Orleans.

There was speculation after the game that Evans only had a mild injury, and Fowler echoed that this morning on X.

The bye week landed at just the right time for Evans, who is more than one-third of the way to his 10th consecutive 1,000-yard season with 14 games remaining.

“Hey, Schefter, what do you think?”

One of the rare preseason Bucs believers in the national media, a big-name former Buccaneer, emphsized yesterday that Baker Mayfield’s hot start is not a fluke and maybe not even special. (more…)

Reflection pays off.

One thing Bucs fans likely have noticed by now, certainly they saw it in the win over the slimy Saints, is Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales uses a lot of different plays. (more…)

Receiver Deven Thompkins holds on.

It sure feels like there’s a special camaraderie on this Tampa Bay team. (more…)

Will stick to the run game.

Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales has made it clear: He’s not going to scrap the run just because the Bucs can’t run. You must keep at it, he has said. (more…)

Much of the nation will now see the return of the creamsicles.

If Joe had said two young quarterbacks who had seen some postseason success but whose original teams had given up on them, would lead their new teams with rich histories of losing to be flexed nationally over a game involving teams from New York and Philadelphia, people would have Baker Act’ed Joe. (more…)

Fun video.

Now this is something cool to kick off your Tuesday — Bucs offensive linemen getting their jobs done. (more…)
