Not many offensive flags.

Joe had two gripes with first-year offensive coordinator Dave Canales last year. (more…)

Lavonte David

Last year it was the same as it’s always been since the guy was drafted in 2012. (more…)

Calijah Kancey

Beastly second-year defensive tackle Calijah Kancey doesn’t sound like a guy who played in 14 regular season games last season plus two good playoff performances. (more…)

So Chris Godwin played about one-third of his snaps in the slot receiver position last year yet folks at One Buc Palace are good at making it sound like he didn’t play there in 2023. (more…)

Todd Bowles is watching.

It sounds like the polish is dripping off Buccaneers third-round pick Jalen McMillan, the receiver out the University of Washington. (more…)

Newcomer is impressing. And no, it’s not Antonio Brown.

Joe has tried to warn fans that “the preacher” is also a baller. (more…)

It’s always nice when the collective yawn of underwear football season, aka voluntary spring practices, is interrupted by something that makes you sit at the edge of your chair for a moment.

That happened today when the greatest receiver in Bucs history, Mike Evans, took time off from rest, relaxation and his well-known training regimen to attend the Bucs’ seventh “OTA” session of the season at One Buc Palace. It was the third open to media.

Evans was in shorts catching easily thrown balls and bonding with teammates.

The team’s mandatory minicamp is next week.

Let his wheels take over.

Yes, Joe understands the Bucs drafted a gifted receiver, Jalen McMillan, in the third round. Just based on that investment, one could guess he’ll get on the field a bunch this season. (more…)

Still disrespected.

Last year, long-time SI.com NFL columnist Conor Orr picked the Bucs to lose 15 games. (more…)

Misleading ranking.

At first glance, this appears to be a slap in the face to Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield. But pulling the onion skins back, it’s almost a compliment. (more…)

You could whine about the Bucs offensive line if you wish — and so many do. Habitually. Constantly. (more…)

Joe is trying to figure out what Baker Mayfield did to hack off #NFLMedia. (more…)

Outmaneuvered star player.

Now Joe doesn’t want to type something like how Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht got over on Mike Evans. It’s not like the two are adversaries. (more…)

Can he get nine sacks?

On a nice, sunny Sunday afternoon when the Gulf of Mexico or cold beers at Hooters are trying to lure Joe out of his lair, unlike most normal Tampa Bay area residents, Joe stays indoors and does research on the Bucs.

Hey, it’s what Joe does! (more…)

Poor ranking.

Rachaad White may be the second-best running back to catch passes in the NFL behind Christian McCaffery. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

The phrasing from this insider really intrigued Joe because he’s been a confidant of Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)

Feed him screen passes.

Joe is a huge believer that if a team is having success with something, then it should keep going to that well over and over until a defense proves it can stop it. (more…)

Joe climbed the roof of One Buc Palace and started bugling when Tampa Bay’s safeties unit got the best-in-the-NFL label from a former coach and personnel executive who crowned them as such two weeks ago. (more…)

Podcast appearance.

Really cool podcast sitdown Bucs defensive lineman Will Gholston had late last month. (more…)

Bucs ILB K.J. Britt.

After Tuesday’s underwear football practice, Bucs coach Todd Bowles said inside linebacker K.J. Britt never truly struggled in pass coverage. (more…)

Bucs rookie RB Bucky Irving.

Joe landed in a heated conversation with a Bucs fan recently about rookie running back Bucky Irving out of the University of Oregon.

Tampa Bay drafted him in Round 4. (more…)
