The newcomer in the Bucs’ secondary, veteran cornerback Robert McClain, is keeping quiet on a sensitive subject. (more…)

Red zone chatter.

There is no way to sugarcoat this. The Bucs were just bad when needing six points in red zone offense last year. (more…)

Talks DeSean Jackson.

America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, likes to say “iron sharpens iron.” That means practicing with and/or against good players makes everyone better. (more…)

Uh, oh.

Joe isn’t sure what AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht or winning Bucs coach (or if you prefer, U2-listening Bucs coach) Dirk Koetter did to the spreadsheeters other than defend Donovan Smith. (more…)

Enjoy! (more…)

Simple logic.

Despite recent explanations why the Bucs moved former right guard Ali Marpet to center, it still has many Bucs fans lying awake at night. (more…)

Gushes over Chris Godwin.

As Joe has stated, Joe is scared to heap praise on Bucs rookie receiver Chris Godwin. (more…)

Bucs DE Noah Spence
