Joe always pays a little extra attention when Tampa native (Alonso High) and eight-year NFL vet Leger Douzable, who played for Todd Bowles with the Jets, is talking Bucs football. (more…)

Winning.

If 2008 through 2019 was The Lost Decade of Buccaneers football, then the Bucs are in the winning decade. (more…)

Defending the NFC South.

OK, Joe has to give veteran NFL.com reporter Judy Battista (friend of Ira Kaufman) credit. She didn’t copy/paste what most national NFL reporters have done this offseason bemoaning how the Bucs are supposed to replace Shaq Barrett and Devin White. (more…)

Seeing is believing.

No, Antoine Winfield was not talking about Rachaad White trying to run the ball. (more…)

General manager Jason Licht.

So Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht re-signed all the big fish he wanted to keep in the Tampa Bay fishbowl this offseason.

The haul was historic, Licht believes, when you look at the résumés of those players. (more…)

Cha-ching!

Antoine Winfield seems to always wear a smile on his face. He acknowledged that today. (more…)

So Joe has spent a bunch of time digging into new Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen and what makes him tick. (more…)

Path to starting Week 1?

Just the premise of this screams: “Some editor who hasn’t been to a football game since a dude tried to pick her up as a sophomore at Cornell and who spends the first week of the football season at the U.S. Tennis Open wants me to type about how a player can win a starting job in underwear football.” (more…)

So how much cash will Chris Godwin demand when his contract ends after this season?

A three-time Super Bowl winning receiver with a good handle on the market weighed in on the subject. (more…)

Bucs RB Bucky Irving.

The reaction Joe gets after typing stories about Rachaad White is bipolar if not Jekyll and Hyde. (more…)

Uh, oh.

NFL Network stats princess Cynthia Frelund has run the numbers. And her results won’t make Bucs fans smile. (more…)

Claims not valid, says NFL.

As Joe has pointed out, if you believe in Warren Sharp’s rest edge, the Bucs are at a disadvantage this year. (more…)

New Bucs playcaller Liam Coen.

Much has been trumpeted out of One Buc Palace about how new offensive coordinator Liam Coen is a blossoming branch from the tree of Sean McVay, the superstar 38-year-old Rams head coach. (more…)

Head coach Todd Bowles.

It’s rare for a team to be able to boast(?) that it pays its No. 2 safety as much as its most expensive pass rusher. (more…)

Bucs CB Zyon McCollum.

As an athlete, there is no doubt Bucs corner Zyon McCollum is a stud.

As an NFL cornerback, well, we’re going to find out. (more…)

Bucs QB Baker Mayfield.

Could the Bucs be knotted in another close division race? It’s possible. And it seems NFL.com is all but bracing for such an ending to the 2024 regular season. (more…)

It’s been that long.

This really shocked Joe. (more…)

Former Bucs head coach and current Falcons head coach Raheem Morris.

Joe loves getting nuggets of truth from past Buccaneers regimes or eras.

Team executives are tight lipped about nearly everything, so getting a bite of truth is to be savored as it represents a puzzle piece of history. (more…)

Talkin’ Baker Mayfield’s swag.

No, you very likely won’t see this in national #NFLMedia platforms because it goes against a narrative. (more…)

Joe needs to clarify the stance of the man who delivered Lavonte David and Will Gholston to the Buccaneers.

Former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik (2009-2013) shared an eyebrow-raising explanation for giving Tampa Bay’s 2020 NFL Draft haul a B+ grade on radio yesterday. But Joe later learned that Dominik changed his stance. (more…)

Factoring in rest.

One reason Joe fully enjoys Warren Sharp’s work is Sharp’s patience to dig for minutia that actually turns out to have a big impact. (more…)

Sharing TV time Week 7.

Hey, at least the Bucs are the main event when they host the Crows on Monday Night Football. (more…)
