The massive overhaul on the Buccaneers’ defensive line also means a change in approach. (more…)

Fresh chatter for Jason Licht to digest

Twenty-four years on the Giants beat for the New York Post gives Paul Schwartz a lot of street cred.

So Joe’s ears perked hearing Schwartz speak confidently this morning about what the Giants will do/not do with their No. 2 overall pick. (more…)

Feather-brained idea.

The NFL draft has now reached the absurdity level. (more…)

Developing Marcus Davenport.

Yeah, Joe is still stoked that Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager swung a deal with the Giants to get Jason Pierre-Paul.

Perhaps this national nightmare of no edge rush for the Bucs has finally ended? (more…)

Please don’t wait.

More evidence of you get what you pay for when an NFL team tries to go the cheap route for a running back. (more…)

Todd is pleased the Lightning moved on but blasts them for a lousy performance in Game Five. The Devils were done and didn’t want to make the trip to Tampa, but the Lightning let them hang around all afternoon. Games like that get you beat in the Stanley Cup Playoffs and the Lightning got away with one against probably the 16th best team of the 16 teams that made the postseason.

A few guys showed up to play for Tampa Bay, including Mikhail Sergachev, and Todd dives into those positives and much more.

Todd Wright isn’t just the fantasy football podcast guru and golf chief around here. The longtime national and local sports radio personality has loads of knowledge about the Tampa Bay Lightning. So launching the Todd Wright Lightning Playoff Podcast was a no-brainer.

The podcast will run through the Bolts’ exciting playoff run right here. Todd has media credentials for home games and will provide plenty of fresh insight.

(Also, the JoeBoltsFan podcast with Tom Lang has been a big hit every Friday.)

Canes DT on Bucs radar?

Now this is something different. (more…)

“Dude — that jacket. Why?”

At this point, nobody has an idea outside of the tightest of tight circles within the NFL how the new no helmet-first rule will affect the league. (more…)

GM Jason Licht

Perhaps general manager Jason Licht will keep things simple for a change. (more…)

Rare relationship

Relevant trivia time!

Entering their fourth straight season as a playcaller/starting QB tandem, where do Dirk Koetter and Jameis Winston rank in the NFC when it comes to time served consecutively in the most important relationship on the football field? (more…)

Does the talent match the hype?

This one is a bit lost on Joe. (more…)

Talkin’ running backs.

Damn, Joe could spend all night and all day listening to and reading Mike Mayock’s breakdown of players. The guy is so damned good. Best Joe has heard since the late Joel Buchsbaum. (more…)

Joe had an all-football day Saturday (no Lightning hockey) that included Ryan Smith film study, followed by a Tums run and listening to draft gurus Mel Kiper and Todd McShay on ESPNU on SiriusXM NFL Radio. (more…)

Can you imagine how much different life would have been for Jason Licht as GM of the Buccaneers if he could just play DraftKings? He doesn’t have to carry a kicker on his roster!

Would that change his horrible history of wasting big money on lousy free agents and for some stupid reason actually caring about where a kid went to college in his draft philosophy? Well, no it wouldn’t.

So the Bucs results would be pretty much the same. Still, the kicker and fantasy football seem to have an endangered relationship much like the NFL and kickoffs. As a Commissioner, Todd lessened the single game impact of kickers in his league last year and plans to do the same this year. Not as many points as standard scoring leagues for long field goals and penalties for any kick missed from 39 yards and in. Todd calls it “The Matt Prater Adjustment.” Matt Prater is a terrific kicker and one hell of a weapon for the Detroit Lions. However, do the Detroit Lions win championships because of him? No.

Should your fantasy football team win a championship simply because of him? Todd says no. Todd discusses kickers in this pre-draft podcast and invites your thoughts on how kickers should be scored, if at all, in your season long leagues at ToddWrightFantasyFootball@gmail.com.

Joe would wager that Ryan Fitzpatrick starts on opening day for the Buccaneers this season, but that’s a story for another day (probably Tuesday).

In the meantime, Fitz landed quite an endorsement last week. (more…)

Mike Mayock speaks

Joe learned a few things after hearing NFL Network super draft guru Mike Mayock get peppered by reporter questions for an hour yesterday. (more…)

NFL analyst frowns.

One busy NFL draft analyst isn’t of the mind that Washington defensive tackle Vita Vea is all that. (more…)
