Good with feet, not great.

Is Baker Mayfield a mobile quarterback? Sure. He gets out of jams, moves in the pocket and when he sees an opportunity to run for a first down, he certainly will bolt. (more…)

So yesterday Bucs coach Todd Bowles was asked what he’s going to do about his running attack. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

So last night, the bungling Broncos put a nail into the coffin of the 2024 season for the slimy Saints by blasting them in Lincoln’s Tomb 33-10. (more…)

Valuable addition.

Todd Bowles pretty much the art of gameface down. When he stands at a podium, you’d think he was a pallbearer at a funeral because he’s so stoic. (more…)

Development hit speed bump.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles made it clear today: Eventually, rookie wide receiver Jalen McMillan “will be fine.” But McMillan’s body let him down with rotten timing. (more…)

Rookie running back Bucky Irving is assessed by Todd Bowles.

So one message given to Bucky Irving hours after he fumbled late during the Week 5 debacle in Atlanta went something like this

“Man up. Deal with it. You will fumble as a running back and instant recovery is what matters.” (more…)

Joe really enjoyed one nugget from Ira Kaufman’s chat with a Buccaneers legend this week. (more…)

Bucs fans saw their No. 1 (?) cornerback leave Sunday’s game in the first quarter with a nasty looking injury. (more…)

Surprising numbers.

Now Joe doesn’t know if the Bucs are in the top-10 in explosive plays, definitions of explosive plays vary depending who is manning a keyboard. But Joe admits to rubbing his eyes in disbelief looking at these offensive numbers. (more…)

One of George Carlin’s seven dirty words foils Bucs highlight package.

Joe really, really, really wanted to show this breakdown of the Bucs’ offensive line by a former offensive lineman and assistant coach. (more…)

Help wanted at outside linebacker.

Over at BSPN, good guy Jeremy Fowler looked at players who may get traded to contending teams. An interesting name popped up for the Bucs. (more…)

It seems Baker Mayfield is foot-rubbing Rob Gronkowski’s type of quarterback.

Or was that Tom Brady? (more…)

Complete game desired.

Very interesting observation on if the Bucs can take another step up in play (and wins) now that the team is beginning to pull away from two NFC South foes. (more…)

NFC Offensive Player of the Week Sean Tucker.

Interesting perspective from the Buccaneers’ running backs coach. (more…)

From his perch in central Georgia, 435 miles from Tampa, Bruce Arians watches the Bucs with a keen eye.

I caught up with Arians this week to talk about Todd Bowles, Jason Licht, Liam Coen and Tampa Bay’s 4-2 start heading into a dynamic Monday night matchup against the streaking Ravens. (more…)
