Too soon?

Well, Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht seems to think so, but he almost couldn’t help himself. (more…)

“What short arms?”

Joe tends to add more weight to a guy’s tape playing football than measurements. (more…)

Being a leader of the Bucs defense last season was not something a guy probably wanted to announce at a busy Hooters or a typical neighborhood bar in December. (more…)

A delicious plate of Hooters wings and their great salads, sandwiches and shrimp make for a heck of a lunch or dinner! Get it done! Lots of great lunch specials today. Locations are across the Bay area and online ordering is always easy from Joe’s great friends.

As usual Todd Bowles wasn’t heard from after Friday’s Round 2 and 3 of the NFL Draft, and he did not address the media after the final day of the draft.

Why that happens, Joe will never understand. (more…)

Titans head coach Robert Saleh.

This bodes extremely well for an edge rusher entering the Todd Bowles defense.

The Buccaneers’ head coach likes to ask his edge guys to put a lot on their plate outside of rushing the passer. (more…)

Hardcore NFL fans saw that somehow ex-Bucs quarterback Chris Simms of NBC was an invited guest at the exclusive annual poolside head coaches drinking extravaganza at the NFL annual meeting in Phoenix a month ago — a month after he talked to dozens of prospects, coaches and general managers for NBC at the NFL Scouting Combine. (more…)

Thievery.

Everybody and their brother seems to think the Bucs got a steal in the draft: Hurricane-hitting nickel corner Keionte Scott.

Well, almost everyone.

(more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Just once since Bucs coach Todd Bowles came to town in 2019 has his defense not been ranked in the 20s for passing yards allowed per game (generally bottom-third in the league). (more…)

Has Jason Licht on her radar.

There is nothing scary about Kay Adams. But she said the way Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht added playmakers to the defense in last week’s draft, the Bucs defense ought to be scary good. (more…)

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

Bucs fifth-round pick DT Demonte Capehart.

It seems new Bucs defensive tackle DeMonte Capehart is a monster of a human being who, perhaps down the road, might have more than a part-time, fill-in role. (more…)

As expected, the Bucs added a late-round pick to bolster their interior line over the weekend. (more…)

Bucs show faith in oft-injured defensive tackle.

UPDATED: It appears Calijah Kancey, healthy or hurt, will be with the Bucs in 2027. (more…)

A lot of Bucs would have been high-fiving on Thursday night if the Bucs drafted edge rusher Akheem Mesidor at No. 15 overall.

They didn’t. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Rookie Bucs fourth-round Ted Hurst.

Fun monitoring ahead out of Round 3 of the NFL Draft. (more…)

Ex-Bucs QB big on Bucs.

If for some odd reason you don’t buy what Nevin Shapiro is selling, maybe Joe can interest you in Dan Orlovsky? (more…)

Rueben Bain’s arms are three inches shorter than those attached to the torso of YaYa Diaby. (more…)

It smells like the Bucs were too comfortable on defense last year, if you listen to the words of one of the fired Bucs defensive coaches. (more…)

Perplexed.

Reading Mel Kiper’s breakdown of each Bucs player drafted last week, you’d think helmethair of BSPN would have given the Bucs a good overall grade. (more…)
