NFL Stripped Bucs Of A Spring Practice
June 11th, 2026
NFL commisioner Roger Goodell
Uplifting stuff from Todd Bowles this afternoon after practice.
The Bucs didn’t practice yesterday. Why? The NFL canceled it, Bowles said, because the league reviewed the Bucs’ first spring practice and decided “we had too many guys on the ground.”
Remember, all practice video is reviewed by the NFL and hitting his not allowed. It’s supposed to be glorified flag football with helmets.
Joe applauds this reality. The Bucs tried to get a little tougher through offseason personnel additions. They also brought it in a bunch of new assistant coaches and, Joe has been told, Bowles is all in favor of edgier practices.
It seems the Bucs went a little overboard. Bravo!

The ghost of Ray Perkins Three-A-Days will haunt Goodell for this – wait and see…

Would rather have to reign in it, than motivate to even be an element of practice.
Work hard, play harder

They’ve proven they don’t learn anything in practice, so might as well avoid the inevitable injuries.

Best team update I’ve heard all off-season. Although I have a funny feeling the Bucs might wanna sign Baker before the season starts. Gonna be a fun year to be a fan of the team stays healthy.

I like what I hear. Week one I want to see the bucs bully the bengals in the trenches.

So teams pay players more to practice less. Ok. Seems the NFL doesn’t want a better product. Plus ive heard many former players say the extra hitting prepared their bodies for the season. Oh well.
