“He Listens”

Wednesday, August 29th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The right knee of Donovan Smith will determine Tampa Bay’s starter at left tackle in New Orleans. If Smith is cleared by the doctors, he figures to be charged with protecting Ryan Fitzpatrick’s blind side.

That’s a medical issue. The murky situation at right guard is a competitive issue. (more…)

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Lions

Saturday, August 25th, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The Bucs came within 30 seconds of their first 3-0 preseason start since 1999, when they advanced to the NFC championship game.

Let’s not get carried away, I don’t see the second coming of Warren Sapp, Derrick Brooks or Ronde Barber out there, but I don’t see a 5-11 club, either.

Tampa Bay’s 20-6 halftime advantage was well deserved because the Bucs outplayed the Lions in all three phases. The start of the game was delayed an hour by dodgy weather, but the real storm front was an offensive line that manhandled Detroit on the opening drive.

If you didn’t see the game, shame on you. Here’s what you missed: (more…)
