A friend of Todd Bowles who used to be a linebackers coach sees a deficiency on the Tampa Bay roster. (more…)

Rookie edge rusher Chris Braswell.

Of course there’s excitement for the Buccaneers’ draft picks.

Unless a guy looks like a complete mess, high hopes flourish in May, June and July. That’s why the guy was drafted. (more…)

Taking the next step.

Here’s a stat that really jumped out at Joe about outside linebacker YaYa Diaby. (more…)

Surprised?

Joe doesn’t see this ending well at all. (more…)

J.J. Watt explains.

One of the greatest defenders to ever play the game doffed his cap to a man who, sadly, not all Bucs fans have yet accepted. (more…)
