Wrong move?

Evan Closky of WTSP-TV Channel 10 isn’t the first person Joe has heard asking aloud why the Bucs had quarterback Teddy Bridgewater running the first team offense Saturday night in Pittsburgh in the Bucs’ second worthless preseason game. (more…)

Receiver Jalen McMillan and tight end Cade Otton celebrate a McMillan touchdown last season.

It looked so much worse. (more…)

Big play in practice Tuesday.

It’s technically not training camp. There are no fans at One Buc Palace. The bleachers have been removed, packed up and stored until next summer. (more…)

Chris Godwin celebrates after he caught his first touchdown of the 2024 season.

So Chris Godwin has been injured for 10 months and the Bucs won’t offer a hint of his status — what he’ll miss or when he might return.

Fellow receiver Jalen McMillan was injured Saturday and already Todd Bowles has said he’ll miss games and a credible report has surfaced that it could be half a season. (more…)

Emeka Egbuka’s QB goes national.

Todd Bowles has said rookie Emeka Egbuka is a true No. 1 receiver.

Baker Mayfield seems to think Egbuka could become anyone’s No. 1 receiver. (more…)

If it were up to tight end Cade Otton, he’d be a Buccaneer for life.

Receiver Jalen McMillan walks to the Bucs locker room after Saturday’s preseason win over the Steelers wearing a neck brace.

Don’t bank on Jalen McMillan to be in uniform when the Bucs travel to Atlanta for the season opener in 19 short days. (more…)

Do the Bucs now have a killer instinct on defense since they are 2-0 in worthless preseason games? (more…)

Groping for interceptions.

Joe asked Todd Bowles about throwing a go-ball to Bucky Irving against the Steelers on Saturday and Bowles responded with a reference to a basketball player who retired 52 years ago. (more…)
