Fiery rookie

Three men will fight for the Buccaneers’ Day 1 starting running back gig this year: Jacquizz Rodgers, Peyton Barber & rookie Jeremy McNichols.

No. Charles Sims already proved he can’t run between the tackles, so he won’t win the job. (more…)

Lavonte David said new, big-money defensive tackle Chris Baker is “sparking up the locker room?”

But who is sparking up Baker? (more…)

Jets’ loss. Bucs’ gain.

The more Joe studies what new kicker Nick Folk brings to Tampa Bay’s table, the more Joe is certain Roberto Aguayo will be calling Journey RV Rental for an extended September vacation. (more…)

Signed.

Like  the Christmas Truce of World War I, Bucs fans can breathe easy now. (more…)

Guilty, foolish or brilliant.

One of the great stains on the Bucs franchise is also one of its greatest accomplishments. (more…)

It’s Wednesday, and that means more Lunch With Real Rock Riley! Catch up on Monday’s episode here.

Today, Rock gets in front of edge rusher Noah Spence and fellow DE DaVonte Lambert. Enjoy!

Targeted for months.

Yes, the draft is over and so is rookie minicamp. Still, it intrigues Joe to learn just how much the Bucs were in deep love with tight end O.J. Howard. (more…)

It seems winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter better be lighting plenty of candles this offseason in hopes that America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, stays healthy. (more…)

Pressure.

There are lots of angles Joe is looking forward to when “Hard Knocks” sets up shop at One Buc Palace in July. (more…)

Pushed aside?

It may be way, way, premature to talk about bubble players in mid-May. But that doesn’t stop folks. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Reality-show veteran

Well, it’s clear that rookie manbeast tight end O.J. Howard is one guy who won’t be uncomfortable when the Hard Knocks camera crews roll into Tampa. (more…)

Robert Ayers has answers, fingers Mike Smith.

Robert Ayers might not know exactly what caused the Buccaneers’ widely publicized defensive communication issues last year, but he has clear thoughts on a fix. (more…)

Talks responsibilities.

Don’t try to pigeonhole Chris Godwin. (more…)

Due for step back?

One reason Joe is proud to have the Custodian of Canton, the King of New Port Richey, Tampa Bay’s lone Hall of Fame presenter, eye-RAH! Kaufman, on board is his refreshing voice of diversity and his wealth of NFL knowledge, experience and contacts. (more…)

Talks controversial move

A lot of Bucs fans wring their hands in angst because third-year offensive lineman Ali Marpet is expected to start at center. (more…)

NFC: Bucs are coming for you.

You want a team with impact? Adam Schein has your team. (more…)

The GM is talking

Action is heating up at One Buc Palace.

Real action. Exciting action. (more…)

It was a throwaway line toward the end of an early-May news conference, but Joe was paying close attention and raising an eyebrow. (more…)

Yes! Rock Riley is killing it with his Monday, Wednesday and Friday reports: Lunch With Real Rock Riley.

Today, Rock goes 1-on-1 with Keith Tandy and Cameron Brate. Grab a sandwich and enjoy!

Fresh local slap endured

Kwon Alexander took it on the chin during the Pro Bowl selection process. Totally snubbed.

And many say he took it somewhere else from Charles Davis on NFL Network last year, too. (more…)

Guessing the NFL outcomes of teams in May is always dicey. Who knows who will get injured in those useless debacles preseason games? (more…)

Lauded by dubious source.

With the exception of a couple of games, Joe is just not won over by Charles Sims. (more…)
