Pro’s pro.

The way this season is going, there is only one bright spot to all the moves made this past offseason.

His name is Jason Pierre-Paul.

Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht absolutely swindled the Giants in pulling JPP out of New Jersey for a third-round pick. Joe has the shivers thinking about just how awful this defense would be without JPP.

Well, yesterday JPP told the local pen and mic club that if the Bucs defense — barreling toward NFL history — is going to turn it around it has to begin with the defensive line.

“It has to start up front,” JPP said. “I think it’s going to be up to the D-line and Coach Buck (Buckner) always says, it’s up to the D-line that we’re going to have to take it over from here, and I believe so.

“It always started with the D-line with the great wins in the Super Bowls and the playoff runs – we had the D-line going. I think for future reference you’re going to see us getting after it. We run to the ball in practice and just trying to do the extra stuff to get guys going.

“I’ll say, man, I’m always out there on Sunday, and whatever comes, comes.”

You damn right JPP is always out there. The sad question is, where the hell are his teammates? Loafing enough that Bucs Bit-O-Honey-snacking coach Dirk Koetter (a players’ coach) has to call out his defense twice in the same day for loafing.

Some dudes can’t even be motivated playing next to one of the game’s greats. Geez.
