“Mr. Glazer, let me show you what’s behind Doors No. 1, 2, 3 and 4.”

Lots of chatter out there about how the Buccaneers have the second-worst salary cap situation entering the 2023 season.

PRESENTED BY

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

There are two reasons why Joe is typing this story. (more…)

Close friend speaks.

Former Belicheats receiver Julian Edelman is tight with Tom Brady. They are bros (along with foot-rubbing Rob Gronkowski). (more…)

Real recognizes real.

Micah Parsons was doing Micah Parsons things against the Bucs on Monday night. (more…)

Relays Bucs players’ moods.

Bucs fans aren’t the only ones outraged at how the season ended. It seems so too are Bucs players. (more…)

“Hey, Rondé, would you mind keeping your mouth shut until April?”

Joe pays close attention when Rondé Barber talks Bucs because he’s a man with ownership access at One Buc Palace and is tight with general manager Jason Licht, and he works for the club calling preseason games and is part of its in-house media team year-round. (more…)

Disconnect?

Now that the season is over, Joe can offer a fair assessment of the Bucs offense based on 17 games and a playoff game: (more…)

Tampa Bay had 47 sacks last season and 45 this season. Those are strong season totals by NFL standards.

However, the pass rush looked a lot different. Even novice fans without a data-nerd subscription could see a change. (more…)

Appalled by Bucs’ play.

Joe believes Todd Bowles did a good job with the Bucs defense this season. (more…)

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Former Dallas scouting director Gil Brandt is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame for a reason. He was a key cog in helping build two dynasties: The Cowboys of the 1960s and 1970s, and the Cowboys of the 1990s. (more…)

With the great Tom Brady on the team, a coaching staff with a Super Bowl pedigree and many players with Pro Bowl on their résumés, Joe is stunned that head coach Todd Bowles is talking about making a specific major change. (more…)

Roster turnover coming.

Joe spoke to, texted and communicated on social media with several people yesterday who all seemed to ask the same question. (more…)

So how involved was Todd Bowles in the offense this season? (more…)

Byron Leftwich

The door was flung wide open for head coach Todd Bowles at his year-ender news conference this afternoon. (more…)

Chris Godwin

The Bucs didn’t look ready for prime time or even 1 o’clock against the Cowboys in last night’s playoff opener/closer. (more…)
