Bucs CB Carlton Davis.

If recent history is a window into the future, the Bucs secondary very easily could have the last laugh this year. (more…)

Reviews Bucs rookie.

So yesterday was the first time veteran defensive lineman Will Gholston wore a Bucs helmet for any purpose since the Bucs’ loss to the Cowboys in the January playoffs. (more…)

Avoiding long field goals helps.

In the NFL, you’ve got to have a little luck. (more…)

Safety Ryan Neal.

One reason Joe thinks this Bucs defense has a chance to be special (if Joe Tryon-Shoyinka can raise his play above Gaines Adams-level production) is a guy the Bucs got on a Dollar Store budget this spring. (more…)

New Bucs DT Greg Gaines.

Dollar Store shopping, as the average Joes know, often runs you $3.99 for an item instead of the standard price of $1.25. And that higher-priced item is often a ripoff. (more…)

Todd Bowles explains.

Earlier this year from the combine in Indianapolis, Bucs coach Todd Bowles said that Joe Tryon-Shoyinka needs to finish his rushes. (more…)

Todd Bowles puts his foot down.

Todd Bowles wants Buccaneers fans at training camp practices and says fans help team energy level.

Whomever made the decision to not have fans at One Buc Palace for today’s start of camp apparently wasn’t considering the head coach’s desires. (more…)

Devin White

Buccaneers linebacker Devin White was on the field and flying around today during the short first training camp practice. Great news. (more…)

Bucs quarterbacks (from left) Baker Mayfield, John Wolford and Kyle Trask going through drills Wednesday morning to begin Bucs Training Camp 2023.

So the first practice of training camp is in the books. It is still underwear football. Pads are expected to come on next week. (more…)

The pads aren’t on and it’s only underwear football, but Todd Bowles likes what he saw in Day 1 of training camp from Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett. (more…)

Training camp started today at One Buc Palace and veteran receiver Russell Gage was seen smiling and laughing with teammates and watching practice.

He wasn’t on the field, or at least the main practice field. Earlier in the practice, he was running sprints on a side field. (more…)

Juice!

One thing about this 2023 Bucs season that just about every Bucs fan is eager to find out is what new Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales can deliver. (more…)

Luck and injuries.

To win a Super Bowl, most teams need good luck when it comes to injuries. (more…)

Influence still felt?

Joe wrote something a few times that Joe is sure didn’t go over well within the walls of One Buc Palace. (more…)

Big prediction.

Hear ye, hear ye. Bucs rookie defensive tackle Calijah Kancey will ball out this year. (more…)

“Tom, that number isn’t that awful.”

You would think a quarterback throwing into the end zone, if he has any sort of decent receivers, would have a decent completion percentage, right?

Well, think again. (more…)

The flag was waving high outside One Buc Palace and the Bucs’ commander-in-chief stepped to the media podium inside.

It was then that general manager Jason Licht grabbed his Kyle Trask flag and started waving. (more…)

Kyle Trask

So when will Baker Mayfield get the damn ball? Or will he get the ball at all?

Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht touched on that this morning. (more…)

“Can I find my Chips Ahoy there, Jason?”

Tenth-year Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht doesn’t strike Joe as a guy crusing the Dollar Store shelves ($1.25 now) of South Tampa looking for sweet deals on Crunch ‘n Munch, hummingbird feeders, replacement spatulas and frozen broccoli imported from China. (more…)

Expectations from GM.

Joe truly believes the Bucs are one element away from having a kickarse, dangerous defense.

An edge rush. (more…)

“Jason, you’re nuts for drafting that guy!”

No, don’t think that. Unless something wild happens, Joe will bet a lot of bread the starting quarterback for your Buccaneers, baby, is currently at One Buc Palace today as veterans reported for training camp. (more…)

Clashing feelings.

Todd Bowles has a group of players claiming to be jacked up, in some cases annoyed, at national media repeatedly suggesting the team has taken a massive step backward without Tom Brady at quarterback. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

It’s hard for Joe to believe but the final worthless preseason game will end exactly one month from the first day of Bucs training camp, which is tomorrow.

And by then, Todd Bowles will know who his starting quarterback is for the 2023 season. And so too will Bucs fans. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

The flag has been planted. (more…)
