New Bucs ILB.
In a passing league, the Bucs decided to hit the way-back button to the 1970s.
With stud pass rushers Ed Oliver and Josh Allen on the board, the Bucs chose inside linebacker Devin White.
Don’t ask Joe to logically explain this.
The LSU linebacker should start right away. In the proud Bucs tradition, they are allergic to pass rushers.
Curious prediction.
Many folks inside and outside of NFL circles believe the Bucs will soon part ways with stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.

Bucs GM Jason Licht.
The fun part about the draft is speculation, drama, and hope all rolled into one. Combine all three in a handful of hours, and you have a full day (so long as it also includes Joe’s good friend Alcohol). (more…)
Smooth operator.
Joe has decided to document highlights of Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians captured when he coached Arizona during the inaugural season of “All or Nothing,” a “Hard Knocks”-like miniseries by NFL Films that follows a pro or college team throughout a season and is exclusive to Amazon Prime. Joe hopes these highlights will help Bucs fans learn what to expect from the 12th coach in franchise history. This series of posts will appear periodically until the days leading up to the draft later this month.
Bruce Arians can cuss with the best of them. But one reason players seem to bond with him is deep down, he cares for them. (more…)
Yeah, tonight’s the big first round of the NFL Draft, but Joe’s not expecting fireworks.
Barring a special trade offer, the Bucs will sit tight and, hopefully, do the smart thing and draft a defensive lineman.
Joe’s already more focused on Round 2. (more…)
Adjusts practice times.
This might be a cool thing for Bucs fans. (more…)
