Harsh feedback.

Joe doesn’t believe in summer siestas. That’s why it is common during these steamy days for Joe to bring a laptop to a beach bar and bang away on the keyboard while enjoying the (ahem) summer scenery over a cold, frosty mass-produced domestic lager. (more…)

Prediction from NFL.com.

Back when Joe was a true football junkie in high school and college and Joe couldn’t read about and watch enough football, Joe used to rail to the heavens that Kellen Winslow (the good one) was not a true Chargers tight end but often a slot receiver the way Don Coryell lined him up. (more…)

Data implies faster action is necessary

Joe really likes the NFL’s computer-generated NextGen Stats because they’re not subjective in any way.

Technology tracks footballs and uniforms and out comes a mountain of granular data. (more…)

Joe’s heard a lot of rather empty talk from former Tampa Bay head coaches about their interest in welcoming ex-Bucs into the mix at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Though Bucs fans know two sure starters on the defensive line, barring injuries, the third starter on the new-look 3-4 defense is a mystery. (more…)

Not progressing, says ESPN.

For those Bucs fans whose favorite recreation is to howl about the Bucs’ offensive line, loosen up those vocal cords. (more…)

Storyline.

So what will folks be watching for in the NFC South when the ball is in the air to start the season? The gang at BSPN’s “NFL Live” chimed in. (more…)

The Bucs didn’t draft an offensive lineman this year and definite starters Donovan Smith, Ali Marpet, Ryan Jensen and Demar Dotson have a combined 24 years of experience. (more…)

FOX-13, the wise TV channel that employs JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman on its pregame show during football season, also has a reporter who is all over the Buccaneers beat. (more…)

Waiting

If there ever was a need for the Bucs to have a running back break out of the darkness and lift this team, it exists now. (more…)

Fixing fundamentals.

Sometimes, things buried pop up at the oddest times. (more…)

Gets props from Bucs QB.

There is always one player from a draft who seems like a dark horse to make an impact. This year, that could be wide receiver Scotty Miller. (more…)

Hired!

Head coach Bucco Bruce Arians publicly shared his excitement for the veteran tryout players coming to Bucs minicamp early this month.

Today, one of them earned a contract. (more…)

 Same old Jameis Winston in 2019?

Offensive line talk from a Hall of Fame GM

For those that enjoy howling about the Bucs’ offensive line, let the dog whistle be sounded. (more…)

No breakout needed.

A lot of folks are typing as we inch towards Training Camp 2019 that Bucs tight end O.J. Howard could have a breakout season. (more…)

Overlooked.

If this is the mentality of the NFL, Joe believes the Bucs have a secret weapon. (more…)
