Ali Marpet was smiling and wearing a floppy hat and sneakers at practice yesterday. (more…)

Health = wins, Bucs coach says.

Last year the Bucs defense was a wretched lot.

Nothing personified how ugly Lovie Smith’s defense was more than getting pistol-whipped by the likes of Case Keenum. Against a team with its mind focused on “California Dreaming.” On national TV no less! (more…)

Greed

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that cancelling the Bucs’ already rescheduled preseason game tonight would be a reasonable, and likely smart, idea. (more…)

There are two schools of thought on Mike Glennon. (more…)

Prefers helping teammates.

So Joe is still mesmerized by the fact Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, one of only three stud draft picks that team has had in a dozen years, took Bucs pass rushing specialist Noah Spence aside to coach him up on how not to telegraph his moves. (more…)

Gaudy prediction for America.

One reason Joe slammed his work desk daily begging, pleading with Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht to draft America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was not only the Bucs’ dire need for a quarterback, but the team had never had a franchise quarterback. (more…)

“I feel ya’ Mark. You tried to sign a deity for a fullback and I had an unholy ghost for a defensive end.”

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, huddled up your beloved Buccaneers following pre-practice stretching this afternoon. (more…)

Lots of players were talking about the fourth preseason game in the Bucs’ locker room this morning, but Joe was far more interested in the digital message flashing there. (more…)

Expecting big things from America.

This is the time of year for predictions as football fans suffer through the banal final week of preseason football.

Kickoff for the new regular season is just nine days away — nine! (more…)

V-Jax talks to Ian Beckles

What could be more fun than Vincent Jackson loosening up during an interview with former Bucs guard Ian Beckles? (more…)

Impressive evaluation

Joe loves how Dirk Koetter calls it straight and has no problem setting team expectations and putting the hopes of Bucs fans on his back. (more…)

Time to find WR depth.

If the Bucs really washed their hands of the misplaced Calgary Stampeder, Donteea Dye, as he was placed on the waivers/injured list yesterday, per Jenna Laine of BSPN, that tells Joe there will be a new wide receiver coming in the next few days. (more…)

Team preparing for his exit.

It seems the Bucs are preparing for the post-Mike Glennon era. (more…)

Last chance tomorrow?

To date, these are the highlights of Kenny Bell, now in his second preseason with the Bucs. (more…)
