Slight edge?

Joe has long maintained that for Kyle Trask to start, he must practice/play worthless preseason games so well that the Bucs can’t take him off the field. (more…)

“Todd, I can vouch for him! He’s no Aqib Talib.”

One mystery of Bucs roster construction is who will play nickel corner. Joe has heard names thrown out like Ryan Neal or Dee Delaney.

And Joe wrote all about the rookie favorite last week. (more…)

The pattern of Buccaneers acting like Tom Brady leaving the team has made no impact continues.

Perhaps it’s because no impact is being felt. (more…)

Angry running.

Joe’s favorite play from last season had to be when Bucs running back Rachaad White delivered a ferocious stiffarm that planted Seattle safety Quandre Diggs into the Bavarian soil in Munich. (more…)

Lavonte David talks tackling.

Including the regular season and playoffs last season, iconic linebacer Lavonte David led the Buccaneers in combined tackles, solo tackles and tackles for loss.

David was not the problem when it came to Tampa Bay’s questionable tackling. (more…)

Bonding Baker..

The Buccaneers live in the “team hotel” near the stadium during training camp, and the setup is helping Baker Mayfield. (more…)

Bucs rookie TE Payne Durham.

After hearing Todd Bowles today, it’s safe to say rookie tight end Payne Durham will be a very a part-time player unless he can prove he’s a true touchdown player under the bright and beautiful lights of preseason. (more…)

Ke’Shawn Vaughn in footwork drills.

Fans who attended practice today were welcomed with a steady cool breeze. It made enduring a Florida summer morning in the sun almost pleasant. (more…)

Baker Mayfield talks QB battle.

Baker Mayfield is battling to lead the Bucs on opening day — in 38 short days. (more…)

For those who didn’t read it or didn’t pay attention, Mike Evans dropped quite a nugget during his private sitdown with Ira Kaufman earlier this week. (more…)

RB Jonathan Taylor.

When Joe watches training camp practices, Joe doesn’t see any workhorse or dynamic running back in an offense both Bucs coach Todd Bowles and offensive coordinator Dave Canales claim is going to be run-centric. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

So the Bucs will practice six of the next seven days. The first worthless preseason game is a week from tomorrow, Aug. 11, against Pittsburgh at The Licht House. (more…)

Joe has mentioned this on the “Ira Kaufman Podcast,” for many Bucs fans, mention Derrick Brooks returning a pick-six to seal a Super Bowl win or Chucky doing his dance on the sideline that night, and they look at you like a puppy that turns his head sideways and perks his ears at the sound of a whistle.

Bucs’ DL coach reacts to YaYa Diaby’s play in practice.

Bucs defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers is a very even-keeled guy. Rodgers, who has worked beside Todd Bowles for many years, has a personality similar to the Bucs head coach. (more…)

Newcomer veteran Bucs running back Chase Edmonds (left) enjoys giving tips to undrafted rookie RB Sean Tucker.

Flash back to the 2022 offseason and the Bucs were flirting with throwing a massive pile of cash in front of free agent Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds. (more…)

Bucs practiced indoors last night. (File photo)

Better late than never. (more…)

Challenge.

Look, Joe is not anti-Todd Bowles. He’s one of the best defensive coordinators in the game. Perhaps one of the best defensive coordinators ever. (more…)

Starting Bucs left guard Matt Feiler.

Tis’ the season to overblow individual plays and drills and drops.

And why not, that’s part of what being a fan of a team is all about. With only 20 or so games per year, hyper-analyzing practice and offseason moves are critical to mental health. (more…)
