Rookie Running back D.J. Williams takes a pitch from Kyle Trask as offensive coordinator Liam Coen looks on. This from Wednesday’s final practice of 2024 training camp.

It is over. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ No. 1 running back (for now) has thrown down the hammer. (more…)

Second-year Bucs running back Sean Tucker.

A guy with deep knowledge of the NFL’s new kick return format, as well as the Buccaneers, was talking this week. (more…)

Perhaps the best news out of today’s joint practice with the Dolphins at One Buc Palace was the return of defensive tackle manbeast Calijah Kancey.

And it was special. (more…)

No great fanfare or sitdown with the head coach when the Buccaneers ‘starting center was named this week. (more…)

Decisions.

Two weeks ago, if you had asked Joe, the Nos. 5 and 6 receivers (provided the Bucs keep six receivers) would have been Sterling Shepard and Rakim Jarrett. (more…)

Todd Bowles gives thumbs-up.

On Friday night, several Bucs players will play their final game of football. (more…)

Changed man.

So what’s the difference between Antoine Winfield of 2024 and the rookie Winfield who ended the 2020 season flashing the deuces in the face of Cheetah Hill and running off the field of The Licht House a world champion? (more…)

In the spirit of nurturing hope and good preseason vibes, Joe has not mentioned until now that Kyle Trask and the Bucs offense were ugly on opening drives through two preseason games.

The numbers are scary. (more…)

“Liam, you’re lucky I like you.”

As Joe pointed out, including in practice notes yesterday, new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen is very much an interactive coach. (more…)

Higher priorities.

So the Bucs will play their final worthless preseason game of the summer Friday night against the Dolphins. (more…)

Does Luke Goedeke crave center stage?

Joe is a big Luke Goedeke fan. The guy is super strong (stronger than Tristan Wirfs), plays hard, talks trash and had a strong 2023 season. (more…)

Several carries.

Not a bunch to type about in this practice. (more…)

Bigger role.

The Buccaneers’ big-money veteran quarterback has a little more on his plate right now (more…)

“Don’t let Tristan down, Rachaad.”

So Baker Mayfield made it clear yesterday that he expects the Tampa Bay run game to be “drastically better” than last year in 2024. (more…)

Gave Bucs a scare.

So early in Bucs practice the team has individual drills and then team drills and walk-throughs. Nothing serious. Little to no hitting. (more…)

Never wanted to leave Bucs.

A lot has been made of the Bucs bringing back their free agents. (more…)

Absorbing rookie knowledge.

In years gone by in the NFL — hell, maybe still with some teams — rookies were to be seen and not heard, unless they were singing their school fight song at lunch as ordered by the veterans. (more…)

“Ed, we’ll bankroll Jason. He knows what he is doing with our players.”

The Bucs had serious players entering the free agent market this past spring. And most fans focused on Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht, the players and their representatives. (more…)

“They’ll follow us, ‘Bake.'”

When the Bucs lost six of seven games midseason, entering the month of December with a 4-7 mark, it sure looked like Todd Bowles’ hot seat was scalding. (more…)

Teammate paints him as angry worker.

So it seems right tackle Luke Goedeke gets a little angry sometimes at the state of being the No. 2 tackle on Tampa Bay’s offensive line. (more…)
