Lavonte David is eager to strap on his mentor’s helmet once again and show a young teammate how it’s done.

Devin White looked the part of David’s willing disciple in 2019, when he arrived at One Buc Place at the age of 21. David did his best to show him the NFL ropes, but White ended up in a tug-of-war with the organization. (more…)

Say hello to a man of leisure.

Bruce Arians returned to town this week for his induction into the Tampa Bay Sports Club Hall of Fame. Accompanied by his wife, Christine, the coach who guided the 2020 Bucs to a Super Bowl victory looked healthy, relaxed and quite bullish about Tampa Bay’s fortunes this fall.

“If they stay healthy, this is going to be a really good football team,” Arians said. “Jason (Licht) and the guys did a great job adding the right pieces, putting more and more quality out there. I’m really excited. I stay away on purpose because the year I didn’t, I was around too damn much.” (more…)

It’s almost impossible to lead from behind.

Lavonte David remains amazingly productive, but he’s 34 and the clock is winding down on his accomplished career. When David retires, the Bucs will need a new face for their defense and the clubhouse leader by a nose is Antoine Winfield Jr.

Winfield has the goods and the contract to justify that status, but most defensive leaders patrol the front seven, not the secondary. (more…)

There’s a lot to like about the Buc schedule.

Those who like to play the disrespect card have to admit that slating four night games is a clear indication the league considers Tampa Bay a worthy prime-time franchise, two years after Tom Brady skipped town.

We already knew the Bucs would be playing the NFL’s final four teams from 2023 — the Chiefs, the 49ers, the Ravens and the Lions. No surprises there. You win the division, you pay a price. But a deeper dive into the schedule reveals a soft underbelly that can be taken advantage of if the Bucs play up to their capabilities. (more…)
