Key in preparing Robert Hainsey?

As Joe has stated, after speaking with several folks at One Buc Palace, Joe doesn’t sense that Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht is on his phone non-stop trying to obtain a veteran center to immediately replace injured star center Ryan Jensen. (more…)

Bucs OLB Joe Tryon-Shoyinka

With a season under his belt, Bucs edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka was not satisfied. (more…)

Bucs TE Ko Kieft signs a football for a young Bucs fan after training camp practice Saturday.

We all know the story by now. Ko Kieft isn’t supposed to be able to catch the ball. He’s not supposed to be a weapon in the passing game. (more…)

Joe will keep this simple. Chris Godwin has no detectable limp, he was signing autographs for fans today, and Joe continues to rack up comments — from multiple sources — that Godwin is on track to be ready to play in Week 1, Sept. 11 at Dallas.

Ira Kaufman will reveal his source on this exciting news during Sunday’s Ira Kaufman Podcast.

Bucs safety Keanu Neal, the 2017 Pro Bowler.

Sadly, a lot of fans in Tampa and across the NFL write off safety Keanu Neal as a washed out safety who never was the same after blowing out his knee late in the 2018 season and then his Achilles in 2019.

Neal turned 27 this week and has a very different opinion. (more…)

Day 4 of training camp (still nobody in pads) was a veteran day off for Donovan Smith. (more…)

Former Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians chats with a couple of assistants right before Saturday practice begins.

UPDATED 3:13 p.m. – So today was the day for the defense. The offense just wasn’t crisp. Not awful, just not sharp. Tom Brady had miscues. Blaine Gabbert was eh and Kyle Trask had an up-and-down morning –some good plays and some eyerake plays. (more…)

New Bucs guard Shaq Mason

After practice today, Joe caught up with starting guard Shaq Mason, a new 2022 arrival from the Patriots. (more…)

Says, “No, no, no” to Tom Brady.

The Bucs offense, even with Tom Brady returning after a Vet Day off, was not its usual razor-sharp self. Brady wasn’t bad but he wasn’t otherworldly like he often is. (more…)

Continuity be damned.

That’s the operating slogan bouncing off the walls of One Buc Place with the season opener looming only six weeks away. (more…)

Bucs center Robert Hainsey.

Well, the guy that may end up replacing Bucs star center Ryan Jensen confessed yesterday he wants to be like Jensen — to a point. (more…)

“Been there, done that, Clyde.”

Joe gets the sadness and moaning and angst pulsating through Bucs fandom since Ryan Jensen tore up his knee on Thursday.

But Joe asks fans to remember David Andrews and the lesson of 2015. (more…)

Student of the game.

Joe spoke with a couple of Bucs veterans on offense and asked them about the signings of former Pro Bowlers Julio Jones and Kyle Rudolph. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Savvy intel here from a former Giants and Eagles beat guy. (more…)

New Buccaneer Julio Jones

Sean Murphy-Bunting and Mike Evans are on the same page when it comes to the dangerous and educational buffet that is the Tampa Bay receiving corps. (more…)

Mike Evans warming up with Tyler Johnson.

After today’s training camp practice, head coach Todd Bowles named Russell Gage as a standout receiver through three practices.

Mike Evans was asked a similar question about who is shining at receiver, and he chose another Buccaneer. (more…)

Todd Bowles was pointing fingers today. (more…)

Injury spooks gamblers.

Little gets past our friends in the desert. (more…)

Reserve (starting?) center Nick Leverett gets coached up by Harold Goodwin at Bucs’ training camp practice Friday morning.

Today was the first practice in the possible post-Ryan Jensen era for the 2022 season. Despite this, Bucs franchise Tom Brady did not demand to practice and take snaps from possible starting center Robert Hainsey. You do the math here. Joe finds it interesting a workaholic like Brady wasn’t motivated to practice with Hainsey today. (more…)

Antoine Winfield, Jr.

Former Pro Bowl tight end Kyle Rudolph had an old friend/fan in the Bucs locker room when he landed here this week, even if he didn’t know it. (more…)
