Status.

Luke Goedeke could not go at Detroit last week because of a concussion. And the Bucs sorely missed their right tackle in Detroit.

A report this afternoon suggests Goedeke will not play this weekend, either.

Per J.C. Allen of SI.com, Goedeke is unlikely to clear concussion protocol by Sunday. If so, Goedeke would miss his second straight game.

His backup, Justin Skule, was simply abused by Aidan Hutchinson Sunday. Fortunately for the Bucs, the Broncos do not have a talent on the defensive line like Hutchinson.

In episode #313 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd praises organizations like the Bucs, Rams, Eagles and 49ers for recently being proactive with replacing franchise quarterbacks, while six others paid a combined $1,000,000,000+ to maintain status quo with QBs who have not (and likely will not) get them to a Super Bowl.

Accuracy.

Have we stumbled upon why Baker Mayfield is off to such a strong season? (more…)

“You guys are really good again, Kyle.”

It is said that Tom Brady overanalyzes and overprepares for everything. (more…)

A telling point was made by the Bucs’ new offensive coordinator this week, one that illustrates how the NFL has changed. (more…)

Baker Mayfield

Former Dixie Chicks general manager Thomas Dimitroff runs a stat service you may or may not have heard of, Sumer Sports. There, tracking all NFL plays, the Bucs are impressive in the pass game.

The run game, well, eeerr, um, Joe will be polite and say, not so much. (more…)

Sunday’s game against the Broncos and their slimy head coach is not sold out. (more…)

Why Bucs worked for Baker Mayfield.

If you look at the big picture, this is just about remarkable. (more…)

Impressing Bucs coach.

Since the Bucs drafted Graham Barton, they crowed about the first-round pick and bragged him up so much they wouldn’t confirm he would be a center for months. (more…)

Mixed messages.

The stat nerds are going to have a slapfight over this. (more…)

Cornerback Zyon McCollum.

Joe was concerned that Zyon McCollum may have needed a season or two of seasoning to become his best self. (more…)

So Joe soaked in yesterday’s long interview with Lions superstar receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown. (more…)

UPDATE: Justin Skule fans might like the sound of this. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

A lot of folks who make decisions for the Bucs were downright outraged last year and this summer with seemingly 90 percent of #NFLMedia coronating the Dixie Chicks as new kings of the NFC South. (more…)

Linebacker SirVocea Dennis.

One huge takeaway Joe had from the dominant defensive performance against Detroit was the play of second-year linebacker SirVocea Dennis. (more…)

Tight end Cade Otton

Yes, coaches just want to win, but they also know the ball must be spread around to keep offensive players happy, motivated and improving. (more…)
