Before Lavonte David announced his return for a 14th Bucs season, head coach Todd Bowles and Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht said they were giving David lots of time and space to decide whether he wants to continue his career. (more…)

What the d-line could be.

If the Haason Reddick the Bucs just signed is the same guy wilding on quarterbacks from 2020-2023, racking up 50.5 sacks and less like the Ghost Johnson he was with the Jets, Bucs fans could see an explosion of production on their defensive front. (more…)

Secret to Baker Mayfield’s success.

So Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht decided to put his shrink hat on. As a result, he may have figured out how Baker Mayfield went from the cusp of being out of the league to being a star. (more…)

Why the hate?

Joe knows each and every year a good number of Bucs fans choose a player to hate. (more…)

New Patriots cornerback Carlton Davis has a fresh three-year, $60 million contract in New England and memories of half-assed practicing as a young player. (more…)

So last March, credible Dianna Russini, now of TheAthletic.com, claimed there were eight teams hoping to make a run at Mike Evans and win him over if he hit free agency. (more…)

“Tenth in the NFC?”

The Bucs have been to the playoffs five straight seasons. That’s four consecutive NFC South titles after winning a Super Bowl. (more…)

“Hey Lavonte, you let me know if you see loafing against the run.”

Joe knows Todd Bowles is a stop-the-run-first kind of guy. This coaching philosophy is often at odds with the way the NFL is near the quarter pole of the 21st century. (more…)

“Zach, baby, it’s 4th-and-3 with 1:49 remaining.”

Not one, not two, but three voices have been in Todd Bowles’ ear on gamedays as trusted consultants for game-management decisions.

That was the case last season, and the way Bowles described it to Joe, man, it sounded like chaos. (more…)

“Looking at you, Jason Licht.”

Some folks at One Buc Palace are just not all that comfortable being in the media spotlight. (more…)

Alabama ILB Jihaad Campbell.

The only reason Joe is posting the following is because it comes from a former NFL general manager and a high-ranking limb of the Bill Parcells tree, on which Bucs coach Todd Bowles has a branch as well. (more…)

Two members of Team Glazer.

Joe’s learned over the years that it’s tough to poll fans on how they feel about Buccaneers ownership. (more…)

Sua Opeta (left) with fellow guard Ben Bredeson.

Joe is getting Aaron Stinnie vibes.

Remember when Stinnie, a postseason/Super Bowl hero at guard during the 2020 season, blew out his ACL in a worthless 2022 preseason game? (more…)

Improvement?

In a way, Joe feels sorry for new Bucs offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard. It’s hard to believe he can elevate the offense. (more…)

South Carolina ILB Demetrius Knight.

OK, so, Joe is open-minded about this Alabama linebacker Jihaad Campbell. (more…)

“Mark, we’re very different.”

Those who often find themselves thinking about Bucs history, moves and non-moves, will be intrigued by this admission. (more…)

Upside.
