Maurice Jones-Drew explains.

The Bucs’ running game stunk out loud last year.

Ronald Jones was a rumor. Peyton Barber ran hard but didn’t have many yards to show for it (please don’t confuse effort for production). Jacquizz Rodgers? Meh. (more…)

Fired Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith is a busy man on Super Bowl’s Radio Row this week, grooming his new white beard and selling shoulder pads and his 2015 book  — You Win In The Locker Room First. 

Perhaps that’s why he can’t seem to find much nice to say about the Bucs. (more…)

PRESENTED BY*Joe thinks it’s very cool to have Todd Wright diving back into the kind of thing he was known for nationally. 

For the last three years, Todd Wright has been podcasting here almost exclusively on fantasy football and Lightning playoff hockey. While those podcasts are not going away permanently, they each clearly have offseasons.

So, for the new year, Todd has a new podcast. And it simply covers pretty much anything that Todd finds interesting. No limits. Sort of like he did for nearly two decades on national radio as host and creator of AllNight with Todd Wright on ESPN in addition to other roles with Fox Sports Florida, Sirius/XM, Sporting News Radio, etc. Our thanks to Brandon Legal Group for their continuing support of both Todd Wright Tour golf tournaments as well as the TODDcast into 2019. Enjoy.

Call this Part 2 of DeSean Jackson’s airing of grievances.

Part 1 is linked here. It’s Jackson sharing yesterday his desire to play for the Rams and how coaches don’t understand that he shouldn’t be asked to practice much. (more…)

D-Jack says he wants to play for the Rams

And now we understand more about Bucs malcontent wide receiver DeSean Jackson. (more…)

Winning.

Good ol’ Aqib Talib is always great for a good quote. (more…)

Knows GMC.

Joe vividly remembers last year at Super Bowl Week when manbeast defensive tackle Aaron Donald of the Rams appeared on “Pro Football Talk Live,” seen on the NBC Sports Network, and said he watches tape of Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy to learn how to become a better player. (more…)

Talkin’ Bruce Arians.

A man who started in a Super Bowl only to lose a duel to the great Joe Montana, and who now makes a living as a talking head, believes the task at hand for new Bucs coach Bruce Arians is simple. (more…)

“Jason, lotta warm biscuits out there.”

The Buccaneers’ chief of college scouting has been talking. (more…)

Stoked about the Bucs.

Bucs fans, how dare you not get excited about your team! Why, even a popular radio and television personality anchored in New York City is geeked for your Buccaneers, baby. (more…)

Showed promise.

It is damn sad how many draft picks the Bucs have used on players for the secondary and still that unit was a sieve. (more…)

Former Bucs safety Mark Barron.

It just blows Joe’s mind what a horrible talent evaluator former Bucs inept coach Lovie Smith was. (more…)

Broncos GM John Elway

The Broncos hit the draft Lotto jackpot this season with DE Bradley Chubb at the No. 5 overall pick. What a productive, 12-sack rookie monster he was. (more…)

Former Bucs DE talks.

Former Bucs defensive end Adrian Clayborn is living the dream. (more…)

Chatter out of the Carolinas

Ryan Fitzpatrick’s final five games as a Bucs starter would make even Josh McCown blush.

The numbers tell much of the story, 7 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, 5 losses — 47 expletives shouted at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. (more…)

Ex-Bucs quarterbacks Jake Plummer and Byron Leftwich combined to play just three games in pewter and red, but they have a connection.

Plummer is an admirer of the new Tampa Bay playcaller. (more…)

Supported.

Yes, Joe’s at the Super Bowl. As usual, Joe’s scoping out various off-the-radar NFL voices to offer insight on the Bucs.

And as usual, Joe plans to hound former Tampa Bay players at “Super Bowl Media Night” later Monday for their two cents on the Bucs. (more…)

PRESENTED BY BILL CURRIE FORD

Talks Bruce Arians.

How well does new Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians fit the team? An NFL talking head has the answer. (more…)

If you listen to Bucco Bruce Arians’ very recent words about the Bucs offense, you can tell he thinks the quarterback and offensive line positions need work. (more…)

Defensive fixture

The Bucs need a pass rusher. Shoot, everyone needs a pass rusher. (more…)

Keeping Donovan Smith?

Joe is obviously locked in on everything Bruce Arians. Even interviews Arians has conducted Joe is listening to again to ensure nothing was missed. (more…)
