Are 1,000 receiving yards coming?

Very interesting number-crunching on Bucs wide receiver Chris Godwin. (more…)

“Can’t blame this one on me, Glazer, or on Lovie.”

Joe has often said that no professional sports team writes a soap opera quite like our Tampa Bay Buccaneers. No Hollywood screen writer could craft this story.

“Only the Bucs” is a phrase that too often fits — and it’s rarely good. (more…)

If the Seahawks would’ve done this on 2nd-and-goal against the Patriots, they probably would’ve won another Super Bowl.

Just run the ball. (more…)

Triggered by Bucs jersey

When it comes to sports, “this Joe” is very much a jingoist. (more…)

Creating mismatches.

This is just a delicious idea. But Joe isn’t sure if it will become a reality. (more…)

Trashes America.

Joe has to give the devil his due. Anyone who can take an Ezekiel Elliott story and twist it into a prediction that America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, “maybe” has but a handful of games before his NFL days are done has some kind of a gift. (more…)

Talks Bruce Arians.

Joe is cleaning out his voice recorder of interviews conducted with NFL analysts earlier this year. One was with the creator, curator and overall guru of Pro Football Talk, the great Mike Florio. (more…)

Thinks Bucs’ CB is salvageable.

One reason former NFL general manager Bill Polian is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame is that he had (has?) a sharp eye for talent. (more…)

Compared to Bucs WR.

Former Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward was one of Joe’s favorite players. (more…)

M.J. Stewart speaks

With the 53rd pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, our Buccaneers stunned plenty of draft gurus and selected cornerback M.J. Stewart out of the University of North Carolina.

He would get more bust chatter around town if it wasn’t for The Ronald Jones Experience. (more…)

Ranked.

Every summer, prickly Pete Prisco comes up with his “Top 100” players list. To add to the fun, CBS Sports decided to have its entire staff come up with a Top 100 list. (more…)

There are fans and there are super fans.

And then there are those who write 404-page books in defense of one of their favorite players. (more…)

One man who has both a Super Bowl ring and is a former employer of Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians is liking how the Bucs pulled his old comrade out of retirement and gave him the reins of the team. (more…)

Is RoJo the next C.J. Anderson?

Calling Ronald Jones’ rookie season a disappointment would be the understatement of the year.

But how did it stack up against Pro Bowl running backs who did not tear up the league during their rookie campaigns? (more…)

Long-term outlook.

If Joe would have to lay cash, Joe would bet a pricey sum the Bucs will be coached by Bucco Bruce Arians in 2020. (more…)

Linebacker chatter.

Joe suspects the next-best thing to pull information from ISIS animals imprisoned overseas is to force them to watch the Bucs defense from last season. (more…)
