Undrafted Bucs rookie cornerback Ayden Garnes today practicing in New Jersey.

Joe hasn’t written much about undrafted rookie cornerback Ayden Garnes for a couple of reasons. (more…)

Happy with his team’s work.

It seems cracking heads with another team wearing another jersey, playing a different scheme in a different city, state and atmosphere, is exactly what the Bucs needed. (more…)

On the field today in New Jersey.

Bucs cornerback Benjamin Morrison is just about off the shelf. (more…)

Vita Vea plays spectator again at Bucs-Jets joint practice today.

Training camp began for the Bucs a full two weeks ago, and manbeast defensive tackle Vita Vea has only assumed the role of Tampa Bay’s largest fan. (more…)

Yesterday, Joe shared how Miami Mauler rookie Bucs edge rusher Rueben Bain did not have a standout Tuesday against the New York Jets in joint practice.

Nothing bad, but his bar is set so damn high, just being good isn’t interesting. Today, Bain was eye-opening. (more…)

Back injury.

UPDATED: There’s a little clarity now on what’s going on with the Bucs’ No. 2 quarterback and how that affects the Bucs’ first worthless preseason game on Friday night. (more…)

UPDATED: The Bucs, you may have heard, are practicing just across the river from New York City. And the Gotham media is watching. (more…)

Where is he?

UPDATED: Not a good sign when you can’t see a man supposed to be at work when everyone else is at their desk. (more…)

Feeling good about new offense.

It seems Bucs running back Sean Tucker really liked squaring up against the Jets yesterday in New Jersey. (more…)

Baker Mayfield has got the data down — 9, 4, 11 — and it means a lot to him. (more…)

Josiah Trotter’s play gives Bucs fans a reason to smile.

Joe’s passion, obsession and desire for sacks from an edge rush drive some fans nuts. However, don’t ever expect Joe to shut up about sacks. (more…)

Sweet one-hand grab.

Between all the fights and the Luke Goedeke helmet-toss, there was a play pretty much not noticed or was mostly ignored at the Bucs-Jets practice yesterday in New Jersey. (more…)

Joe started the day entering the elevator at the Bucs’ team hotel to head to practice early.

Joe pressed the “L” button and the elevator stopped one floor down. In walks Vita Vea. (more…)
