Shame for Atlanta GM Thomas Dimitroff

As the Bucs hope and hope and hope that second-round pick Noah Spence is the answer to the annual question at defensive end, Joe can’t ignore what’s happened in Atlanta. (more…)

Key year for ASJ.

Joe understands Bucs fans are frustrated with talented tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins because he is too often on the sidelines injured rather than playing. (more…)

Promising third-day draft pick.

Joe is sure just about every knowledgeable fan knows the Bucs’ defense stunk last year.

Even the most devout crony and apologist of Coach My Scheme would have to admit a 70 percent completion percentage by opposing quarterbacks was not and should not be acceptable in the NFL. (more…)

Father Dungy might not appreciate this

Ronde Barber was on fire Thursday with all kinds of great takes.

Who could forget how he praised Tampa Bay for dumping its defensive approach and coach, and embracing a philosophy counter to that of Coach My Scheme. (more…)

Charles Sims’ next step, per running back’s coach Tim Spencer.

Want a quality peek into an upgrade for the 2016 Bucs offense?

Joe’s got a good one. (more…)

Lofty expectations from the four-letter.

There were a lot of player acquisitions by Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht this offseason.

But which was the best? (more…)

Discusses o-line turnaround.

Under the bus you go! (more…)

Bucs OC wants more points from passing attack.

A coach’s job, whether it be an assistant or a head coach, is to help the charges before him improve.

Whether that is learning new techniques or maybe a kick in the rear end or a caring arm around the shoulder, a coach must figure out any and all ways to better his players. (more…)

Another bold call

Opinionated Florida State icon Jamie Dukes played for the Falcons, works for the Falcons and covers the Falcons.

He always has plenty to say about Dirk Koetter and America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)

Last July, the Buccaneers’ front office was buzzing about a new deal to bring virtual reality training to its quarterback stable led by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. (more…)

Bucs quarterbacks coach happy for rookie corner.

Usually, an offensive coach sticks to offense. And, understandably, is selfish and wants offensive players drafted. (more…)

Bucs OC talks Mike Evans.

Joe hates to be repetitive (but hey, it’s May), but Mike Evans is one of the more gifted receivers in the NFL. His footwork along the sidelines is magical. (more…)

Ronde Barber likes the change at defensive coordinator and says the Bucs have stopped going through the “insanity thing.”

Iconic Buccaneer Ronde Barber, a man who blossomed under the glory days Tampa-2 defense and wore Bucs colors for 17 years, says replacing Mike Smith for Lovie Smith was a damn good move. (more…)

Bucs OC Todd Monken meets the press yesterday.

When Todd Monken was introduced as the Bucs’ offensive coordinator back in January, he met before the Tampa Bay pen and mic club and could barely contain his excitement about his new job and he had a chance to work with, namely America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston. (more…)

Yes, Joe has loads of readers throughout the greater Orlando area. The quantity might shock you. However, Joe can’t pretend to be pleased by a new report. (more…)

While Ali Marpet’s legendary eating never hit a roadblock, his training did. (more…)

Ronde Barber speaks

Is Ronde Barber a trusted member of general manager Jason Licht’s personnel team? (more…)

Irked by QB hits.

Last year the Bucs were tied for fourth-best in the NFL in fewest sacks allowed with 27, and the Bucs were fifth in total rushing yards (2,162). (more…)

Running backs coach Tim Spencer explains

Regular readers here know Joe is a huge fan of running back Mike James. There’s also another big fan of James, one who will have a major say in him winning the No. 3 running back job this season. (more…)

Better shape = better fundamentals.

Don’t be surprised to see a new America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, when the regular season kicks off this September (roughly four months away). And it isn’t just his slimmed down physique. (more…)

Programming note!

Buccaneers offensive assistant coaches are available to Joe and local media today at One Buc Palace.

That means plenty of goodies to share. Take a late lunch and hit up Joe about 1:20 p.m., after you read this mornings fun below.

There’s a new Lieutenant Colonel of the Kenny Bell Mob

Joe’s never seen a little-known a receiver, a fifth-round draft pick, a second-year player who has yet to catch a preseason pass, garner so much love from intelligent fans and media.
