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…)

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…)
