Run-game moves.

When Rachaad White catches a pass in the flat, Joe is on the edge of his seat. White is electric catching passes out of the backfield. Production and entertainment. (more…)

Touchdowns in the red zone.

This is another reason why Joe is pretty confident, short of Team Glazer dumping a major bag of loot in Liam Coen’s lap, that Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen will be a head coach somewhere next year. (more…)

Doubted by an ex-Buc.

Joe is ecstatic about the Bucs offense thriving through two games without Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. It’s damn impressive.

Others have a different view. (more…)

Injury status.

While Bucs coach Todd Bowles wasn’t sure if defensive tackle Greg Gaines or wide receiver Jalen McMillan will play Sunday, he didn’t rule them out. (more…)

George Kittle is not OK with blocking Vita Vea.

Props to 49ers tight end George Kittle for his biting sarcasm concerning a Bucs heavy hitter on defense. (more…)

For now, Joe will take the word of an old man with a ton of experience calling plays in the NFL. (more…)

Six-time Bucs Pro Bowl defensive tackle Gerald McCoy looks at electric rookie running back Bucky Irving and thinks of another famous fourth-round draft pick. (more…)

Flash poll posted at 4:17 a.m. Poll closed at 8:36 a.m. Last week’s results linked here.

Short passes; big numbers.

It wasn’t long ago that Joe used to cringe thinking about a short-passing offense. (more…)

New weapons emerge.

Bad teams would throw in the towel after losing two great receivers, who also happen to play in the same offense, in the same game, one for weeks and the other for the season. (more…)

Nursing sore toe.

Ordinarily, when a top-shelf NFL quarterback having a career year misses two straight days of practice, that sets off fire alarms, tornado warnings and emergency alert systems causing cell phones to buzz Amber Alert-like warnings across a region at 5 a.m. (more…)

Hurdling to season debut.

This has been rumored for a few weeks, but 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan pretty much confirmed yesterday that star running back Christian McCaffrey should be on the field of The Licht House Sunday when the Bucs host the 49ers. (more…)

There are soft schedules, and then there are cotton-ball, baby-bunny-soft schedules. The Bucs’ have the latter to close the 2024 season. (more…)

So how do the Buccaneers perform when there’s significantly less time to prepare? (more…)
