You Call The Defensive Line Moves

Sunday, March 18th, 2018

Poll posted at 8:15 a.m.


Still Need A DE

Sunday, March 18th, 2018

Don’t stop.

OK, so the Bucs added a defensive end yesterday, sort of poaching from the Super Bowl champions. Joe wrote “sort of” since Vinny Curry was released, in part because the Eagles traded for Michael Bennett who the Bucs turned their noses up on.

Again! (more…)

Are Numbers Lying?

Sunday, March 18th, 2018

Digging for context.

Joe remarked yesterday that he was, overall, shrugging his shoulders at the signing of Eagles defensive lineman Vinny Curry. (more…)

Sweezy’s Future

Saturday, March 17th, 2018

“Jason, why is this guy here? I don’t need to buy a timeshare in Colorado with the wine snots when I can just go to Ed’s place and hang with Trump.”

There will be changes on the offensive line.

That much is clear. (more…)

Tyrann Mathieu, Rashaan Melvin Sign Cheap

Saturday, March 17th, 2018

Bad Year For Trading Down In Round 1

Friday, March 16th, 2018

It’s Now A Punch Line

Friday, March 16th, 2018

It’s coming.

The edge rush of the Bucs is such an embarrassment, it is now becoming a joke. (more…)

Free Agency Open Thread, Day 3

Friday, March 16th, 2018

Joe is virtually speechless because the Bucs have fully ignored their three most critical needs thus far in free agency.

Joe also senses Bucs fans are more emotionally distraught than others realize.

Available defensive ends? Outside of one talented yet injury-prone project, nothing there. Running backs? All but an empty tray. But corners, there are still a few solid veterans available as Joe is typing this here post.

Bang it here with comments all day if you can figure out if you seem to care more about filling craters on the roster than the braintrust at One Buc Palace apparently does (or does not).

3-4? Pfft. It’s “A 4-3 Attack Scheme”

Friday, March 16th, 2018

“”Swaggy, I said ‘attack’ not ‘stop for a snack.'”

Many Bucs fans — and some media — run around convinced the Bucs are preparing to transition to a lot of 3-4 defense.

Those people haven’t been paying attention. (more…)

Gaines And Bucs A “Fit”

Friday, March 16th, 2018
