Sees the light with Baker Mayfield.

The lightning rod that is media personality Skip Bayless is doing his victory laps. Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield, Bayless said, is proving him right. (more…)

Three first-round draft picks.

Joe didn’t see a lot of designed runs for Falcons QB Michael Penix on Sunday, so it’s fair to say he dropped back to pass more than 45 times against Tampa Bay.

The Bucs tallied just one sack. (more…)

Joe gets that things sound better than usual when Laura Rutledge says them. (more…)

Still out.

The Bucs are getting healthier as Monday night’s game in Houston approaches. (more…)

If Baker Mayfield were to retire today, he’d be known for winning a Heisman Trophy, being a No. 1 overall draft pick and for having an obscene amount of coordinators in his professional life. (more…)

These two don’t just dress alike.

Praise for Baker Mayfield usually comes in the form of respect for his rifle arm, tough-guy mentality, vocal leadership and the always popular “moxie” love. (more…)

Rachaad White scored nine touchdowns last season and was a key piece of the Bucs offense even after Bucky Irving became the No. 1 running back.

So why did White have a historically low number of touches Sunday? (more…)

Bucs WR Emeka Egbuka.

Whenever Joe hears someone talk about “leaders,” Joe cannot help but remember that godawful morning sports radio host that used to pollute the local public’s airwaves, Dan Sileo. (more…)

Calijah Kancey celebrates with YaYa Diaby after the Bucs’ outside linebacker tackled Atlanta QB Michael Penix.

Last year Joe felt bad for YaYa Diaby. All offenses had to do was take out YaYa and they knew the Bucs more often than not wouldn’t have an edge rush. (more…)

Cornerback Ben Morrison.

The Bucs’ heralded rookie cornerback from Notre Dame may just see his first NFL snaps on Monday night. That’s the word from Bucs coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Baker Mayfield

Was last week’s ho-hum production by the Bucs offense (aside from Baker Mayfield’s three touchdown passes, including two to Emeka Egbuka) enough to raise questions? (more…)

“Good job, Jamel.”

Each season, no matter if the Bucs are bad or good, Bucs fans have to have a player to beat up on. (more…)

Haason Reddick is banged up.

The Bucs defense has taken a bit of a hit. (more…)

Todd makes the case for Minnesota upgrading their defense as much as Green Bay, the Jaxson Dart “Bubble Wrap” theory and whether Baker Mayfield can get away with bad reads against the Texans.

PRESENTED BY
