Mike Tomlin speaks.

Fun practice ahead.

Joe is on the ground in Pittsburgh. (more…)

Tougher, bigger, smarter.

One cool thing about covering training camp practices is access to people Joe would otherwise not get a chance to talk to. (more…)

How much longer?

Joe has a pretty good guess that a guy who runs a popular football website is going to end up being shamed by the popular Twitter account, @OldTakesExposed. (more…)

Offers fans inside look at drafting.

Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht has made quite a name for himself when it comes to the draft. And it’s well-documented that Licht puts a very high value on character. (more…)

Reminisces?

Once upon a time in the NFL, there were six worthless preseason games. For NFL players, that made for a grueling summer. (more…)

Todd Bowles

Without coaching a game, Todd Bowles apparently has flipped one of the loud voices in intelligent NFL media into his corner. (more…)

Out.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles today took a page from the NHL. And it has Joe spooked. (more…)

Todd Bowles is tight-lipped about UDFA Desmond Watson.

As Joe typed in today’s practice notes, Joe did not see Chris Godwin, Tristan Wirfs or Rachaad White at practice today at Thornton Mellon University (sarcasm alert). (more…)

Bucs begin practice at Carnegie Mellon University Wednesday morning.

Joe is waiting for next week’s media schedule to be released but this may be the second-last open practice of the year. Tomorrow the Bucs have their joint practice with the Steelers. (more…)

The Bucs are on the field at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, an underwear football practice session on turf. Current temperature is 73 degrees.

Joe will have nuggets and observations later today.

No. 1 seed?

So have the Bucs taken on the personality of their head coach?

Joe’s not referring to players enjoying Gladys Knight, trips to Publix, low-grade chocolate chip cookies, NBA games and going to bed early. (more…)

In football jail.

Joe waited a few days to type about this because Joe was hoping it was just a bad dream. (more…)

“Careful under that bus, Desean.”

Never again. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Lynchpin?

A man who has a serious, if not misguided notion about the Bucs’ coaching staff still believes there is hope for the Bucs having a helluva season. (more…)

Grade!

Joe isn’t sure how anyone can decipher or judge a rookie from two targets and one catch (and almost a wild catch for a second reception). (more…)

Job security.

Michael Pratt, we hardly knew thee. (more…)

Questioning Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht on an offensive line evaluation is the equivalent of doubting Rondé Barber’s knowledge of defensive back play.

Yeah, nobody’s perfect, but these aren’t people to doubt in their area of expertise. (more…)
