Right tackle Justin Skule.

Was it as simple as a boost in confidence that has helped Justin Skule rise above his mighty struggles? (more…)

Joe suspects every Falcons fan would agree on something, and it has nothing to do with how lucky the team got Sunday against the slimy Saints. (more…)

CB1?

If you ask Joe, Jamel Dean is the Bucs’ No. 1 corner. He’s a veteran starter. He has a ring. And he’s being paid like a No. 1 corner. (more…)

While this nugget comes from a high-ranking Buccaneers official, Joe is labeling it a “report” because it’s so hard to believe. (more…)

The read-between-the-lines crowd will like this. (more…)

MVP chatter.

Joe was listening to a national sports radio show not found on SiriusXM NFL Radio and the host was rattling off teams he believes are the NFC’s best. (more…)

“Start fast, Baker.”

Baker Mayfield was sharp against the Eagles. One reason that got a lot of run for his good day was getting rid of the ball quicker. (more…)

Sunday at The Licht House, Baker Mayfield had a pass that if you didn’t know any better, you’d think it was thrown by the guy up in the FOX broadcast booth working as a commentator. (more…)

Still out.

Man, the Bucs have a long injury report today. (more…)

The Bucs still aren’t throwing deep (very much).

Joe sensed a pattern through the first three weeks. Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen wanted to limit his quarterback throwing 20 yards or more downfield.

That mostly continued Sunday against the Eagles.

Coen has had Baker Mayfield largely throwing outside the hashmarks. That was, until the Eagles’ game. On Sunday, Mayfield scattered passes all over, just not deep.

Mayfield had four attempts over 20 yards, per NexGen Stats, completing just one. Overall, Mayfield was 30-of-47 for 347 yards with two touchdowns and no picks.

One cool thing about covering the Bucs is that their stars don’t beat their chests and woof about how good they are like guys on other teams. (more…)

Laid down the law.

One nugget Joe unearthed prowling the Bucs’ locker room after the beatdown of the Eagles is that a Bucs captain last week tore his teammates a new rear end for how they stunk up the joint against the lowly Broncos. (more…)

One memorable moment of Joe’s career came during a heated parking lot exchange at a Lee Roy Selmon’s restaurant grand opening in 2011. (more…)

UPDATED: A theme was rolling at One Buc Palace today. (more…)

Bucs fans like Joe that watch the All-22 film have noticed a trend the past couple of weeks. (more…)

“Rondé, you make me feel special.”

It seems Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht might have stress management challenges that fans don’t realize. (more…)

Polynesian Power.

Joe can’t remember the last time former NFL offensive lineman Brian Baldinger of NFL Network didn’t include highlights of a Bucs defender for his Twitter breakdowns of Tampa Bay games. (more…)

Path forward.

Today is Oct. 1. Six weeks from now Joe and fellow Bucs fans will have a great sense of whether the playoffs and/or an NFC South division title is within reach. (more…)
