Will SirVocea Dennis be a marked man by Jalen Hurts?
If the Bucs have an Achilles heel on defense (aside from the perpetually inconsistent if not non-existent edge rush) it is soft pass coverage in the middle of the field. (more…)

If you want to know what’s different about this Buccaneer culture club, ask the outsiders.
That was my mission in Tampa Bay’s locker room this week as the Bucs prepare for Sunday’s home game against the Eagles, a matchup between two of the NFL’s six unbeaten clubs. (more…)
Heads-up play.
There is a play floating around social media that shows Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield checking out of a call in the Bucs’ final drive, a game-winner last week against the Jets. (more…)

Wirfs has been “full-go” in practice all week. Godwin practiced fully Wednesday and took yesterday off. He was on the field today but his activity status will be reported later.
