No pass rush did more with less than the Buccaneers’ last season.

With Todd Bowles working his deceptive magic, Tampa Bay somehow finished with 45 sacks. Only six teams posted more takedowns as Bowles sent defenders flying from all angles in an effort to disrupt the timing of opposing passers. (more…)

The last time James Wilder carried the ball for the Buccaneers, the original Batman movie ruled at the box office.

The year was 1989 and Tampa Bay slogged its way to a 5-11 record under Ray Perkins, who would be fired toward the end of the following season. That was a long, long time ago.

How long? Lavonte David was a newborn.

Yet all these years later, Wilder still rules as the franchise’s career rushing leader with 5,957 yards. Wilder was a workhorse in 1984 and 1985, but those were the only two seasons he ran for more than 704 yards. (more…)

Antonio Brown is at it again, lashing out at a slew of new targets including Tom Brady.

Yes, Tom Brady, who has always had Brown’s back and once vouched for him with Bill Belichick. Brown can’t help himself. It’s always the fault of someone other than the man in the mirror.

His day of reckoning is coming. (more…)

Nothing hacked Tom Brady off more than coming up short on the football field.

He was disappointed, devastated and distraught after every setback, knowing he had to wait a week before an opportunity for retribution. If losing was No. 1 on his must-to-avoid list, taking a sack ranked a close second.

Clean looks were the norm.

Whether he was sailing a ball deliberately out of bounds or firing one into the ground, Brady was a master at frustrating the league’s premier pass rushers. And that knack for avoiding the sack will prove challenging for his successor this fall. (more…)

At times, he’s been his own worst enemy. Now, he needs to embrace new friends.

You would think Baker Mayfield gets it by now. The Browns weren’t convinced he was their guy. The Panthers weren’t impressed. The Rams let him move on as a free agent. (more…)

Don’t sleep on the rest of the NFC South.

The history of the NFL tells us lousy divisions don’t stay lousy forever. The 2022 Bucs caught a huge break last year as the Panthers, Falcons and Saints all slogged to 7-10 records, allowing a subpar Tampa Bay team to capture a second consecutive division crown.

Don’t expect another 8-9 finish to get the job done.

Just look at the NFC East as an example of fleeting success and failure. In 2021, the division collectively finished four games below .500, despite a 12-5 mark by the Cowboys.

A year later, the division was plus-20 as the Eagles, Giants and Commanders all improved while Dallas finished 12-5 once again. (more…)
