Gerald McCoy is out with a bad calf so the manbeast rookie is in.

Vita Vea will make his first start on Sunday, Dirk Koetter announced on the Buccaneers Radio Network. The head coach implied that Vea is behind Beau Allen on the depth chart, but it won’t matter against the Browns.

Change is coming to the Buccaneers defensive line. (more…)

Christmas in October.

The Browns, if you don’t think Bucs coach Dirk Koetter is blowing smoke, have the best rushing attack the Bucs have faced this season. (more…)

Injury report update.

The already sack-deprived Bucs defensive line will be without two of its best sackmeisters. (more…)

Touchdowns, please.

There seems to be one flaw in the game of America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. (more…)

PRESENTED BY BILL CURRIE FORD

Former team captain

The two primary faces of the Tampa Bay franchise were not chosen to be the team’s leadership faces by their peers. (more…)

Defensive tackle Beau Allen

The Buccaneers’ defense is still waiting for the full power of the Super Bowl ruboff, aka the positive effects of signing three Super Bowl winners in the offseason. (more…)

Talks Bucs defense.

When a successful former NFL head coach becomes a coordinator and then is so bad at his job he’s fired mid-season, that warrants a full segment of discussion on “Pro Football Talk Live” on NBC Sports Network with the creator, curator and overall guru of Pro Football Talk, the great Mike Florio, and long-time NFL scribe Peter King. (more…)

Last year Bucs wide receivers were awful in YAC (yards after the catch). (more…)

“Jason, you realize what a home loss to the Browns means, right?”

When a team is at a crossroads, fans and media often say the team’s next game is a “must-win.”

That’s not the case in Tampa. (more…)

Twice in the past three weeks the Browns have channeled their inner Buccaneers, allowing 45 points to the Raiders in Oakland and 38 to the Chargers in front of the Dawg Pound.

They’re a battered and bruised defense, now down to a third-string cornerback starting. Their starting center is highly questionable, too. Strong video here by the Cleveland.com beat folks.

Will Browns run on him?

Joe has noticed one thing that happens when Vita Vea enters the game. (more…)

What is going on? (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com)

There is something strange going on and Joe can’t put his finger on it. But he can sure smell the smoke. (more…)

Bucs legend couldn’t believe his eyes.

You feel like slamming your head against the wall after watching what the Bucs call “defense?” Imagine being in Warren Sapp’s shoes. (more…)

Last week, Joe talked to a Bucs veteran in the locker room and asked what kind of impact Falcons safety Keith Tandy might have via sharing Bucs secrets — since he played in the Tampa Bay defense and knows the offense so well. (more…)
