In episode 24, Todd discusses wide receivers who are not worth their projected fantasy value.

Tom Brady trainer/fitness guru/health coach Alex Guerrero (right) is a fixture with the Bucs.

So how many Bucs are working the TB12 fitness/diet/training method in some form?

Light has been shed this week. (more…)

Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen might not play this season, but he certainly won’t be on the field in September.

Jensen got the official “injured reserve” designation today, as expected because of his bad knee injured five weeks ago.

Jensen is now off the 53-man roster and is eligible to return in four weeks. It seems the Bucs would be lucky to get him back in 14 weeks. The team still has not released the specifics of Jensen’s injury.

Deeper?

Joe thought Super Bowl-winning Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians may have had a cocktail or two in him when he recently claimed Todd Bowles is now leading a roster better than the team Arians coached in the Super Bowl two years ago. (more…)

ESPN’s Troy Aikman.

As Joe has written, it’s fascinating how Tom Brady taking an 11-day vacation and skipping the middle of training camp really has the football world turned upside down. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

So now that the 2022 roster is set — for now — Joe’s attention is turned to Week 1 and the Bucs’ first opponent, Dallas. (more…)

Rookie Bucs punter Jake Camarda was a star at the University of Georgia.

The nuances of punting are not Joe’s forté. So Joe had no clue that Tampa Bay’s rookie punter Jake Camarda is not kicking — in practice or in games — like some sort of punt god. (more…)

In episode 23, Todd discusses the most productive wide receivers from 2021 and how they again are the key to you winning big in 2022.

Linebacker chatter.

Bucs coach Todd Bowles harped he wasn’t getting good enough preseason special teams play from his receivers, specifically at gunner on the punt team. (more…)

Texans head coach Lovie Smith.

It’s official. The Houston Texans have claimed booted Buccaneers receiver Tyler Johnson, Tampa Bay’s fifth-round pick in 2020.

Poor Johnson, kicked off the NFC’s best roster with Tom Brady and landing with Lovie Smith to catch balls from Davis Mills.

Young football players, learn to love and play special teams.

Todd Bowles

A little stress relief was delivered this afternoon by head coach Todd Bowles. (more…)

Todd Bowles closed the book on Tyler Johnson this afternoon at One Buc Palace following Johnson getting cut yesterday. (more…)

He’s earned it.

When you are Tom Brady, you have a different set of rules. (more…)

Encouraging talk about Ryan Jensen.

An important guy at One Buc Palace sure made it sound like Bucs Pro Bowl center Ryan Jensen will play this season. And Joe may have found some parallel history. (more…)

Ex-Bucs WR Tyler Johnson.

One of the many reasons Joe was shocked by the release of receiver Tyler Johnson is that it leaves the Bucs without a healthy receiver at a specific spot. And it makes Joe wonder if the offense is changing. (more…)

In episode 22, Todd reminds everyone the Alvin Kamara Christmas Miracle was in 2020 and nothing great has happened since.

Bruce Arians

Back at the combine in February 2020, Bucs quarterback coach Clyde Christensen spilled that he was given the task to start studying and producing scouting reports on quarterbacks Drew Brees, Philip Rivers and Tom Brady. (more…)

“Jason, tell Byron to run!”

Joe thinks the world of former Bucs great Rondé Barber. He is one of the most intelligent guys. (more…)

Aggressive.

Last year when the Bucs failed on first down passes, they were coming after your arse on second down. Believe it! (more…)

Steve White

UPDATED 11:12 p.m. – Former Bucs defensive lineman Tyoka Jackson announced on Twitter tonight that his former teammate, Bucs defensive end Stephen White, passed away. White was 48. (more…)

Bucs rookie tight end Ko Kieft.

History says the official 2022 Buccaneers 53-man roster likely will be different in a matter of hours, and especially in days.

Joe wrote about this phenomenon earlier today, but it’s worth repeating so nobody runs out and buys, say, a Ko Kieft or a Brandon Walton jersey. No Ke’Shawn Vaughn tattoos until Halloween, please.

Joe has no doubt the Bucs will be seeking special teams help and a quality body on the offensive line. Will they find one?
