After three seasons as the defensive coordinator on a Tom Brady football team, surely Bucs head coach Todd Bowles learned a thing or two from The Goat. (more…)

Bucs OLB coach Bob Sanders

Interesting angle earlier this week from new Bucs OLB coach Bob Sanders. It seems if he can’t find something wrong with a guy, he won’t fix what’s not broken. (more…)

The Buccaneers’ defensive backs have been a tight, young unit for years. (more…)

GM Jason Licht

If the Bucs didn’t have a sexy enough draft for you with names you heard Mel Kiper, Todd McShay and others babble about daily, relax. (more…)

That beloved Buccaneers logo has been circulating quite a bit. (more…)

Rookie Bucs tight end Cade Otton, the first pick of Round 4.

A former general manager (no, not Mark Dominik) assessed the Buccaneers’ 2022 NFL Draft and his tone of voice clearly suggested he had a favorite pick by Tampa Bay. (more…)

Bucs co-DC Kacy Rodgers.

Entering the draft, Joe hoped the Bucs selected a corner early. Remembering this defense collapsing whenever the Bucs had an injured starting cornerback (which happened a lot), depth at that position was a big-time need. (more…)

Rookie talk.

Joe loves the attitude flowing from the Bucs’ top three rookies. (more…)

Bucs DT Logan Hall.

Attention: Gamblers. This may be worth examining. (more…)

Did an injury or conditioning limit Vita Vea’s snaps?

Joe understands folks want Vita Vea on the field more. You always want a guy that good on the field more. (more…)

Dominant overseas.

Joe is a history geek, and listening to a history pod a week or so ago Joe heard a good story. (more…)

Joe already wrote about how rookie Bucs running back Rachaad White could be the anti-Ronald Jones.

That was based on film and data, but White even sounds like he’s no RoJo. (more…)

Streaming debut.

If you’ve got a Smart TV, a working remote, and $9.00 to spend, you can breathe easy. (more…)

Effort questioned?

One of Bucco Bruce Arians’ final duties as head coach was filling the outside linebackers coaching gig held by Larry Foote, who is now co-defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach. (more…)

Joe was intrigued when Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders, now head coach at Jackson State University, publicly named 16 HBCU players that he believed should be drafted last week. (more…)

Bucs head coach Todd Bowles

It always makes Joe take pause when a Buccaneer is asked about losing Bucco Bruce Arians and doesn’t say anything about the guy. (more…)

Rookie third-round pick running back Rachaad White

An NFL grade of each team cannot be complete without the input of prickly Pete Prisco from CBS Sports. (more…)

Opponent in Munich set.

It’s official. The time, date and opponent for the Bucs when they play the first NFL game on German soil is locked in. (more…)

Bucs rookie defensive lineman Logan Hall played hard-to-get.

Call Logan Hall hard to get. And it is understandable if the Bucs would have passed on their second-round pick after he dodged team officials. (more…)

New goals from new coach?

Someone is either channeling Chucky or Bucs defensive coaches were briefed before speaking with the local Fourth Estate yesterday. (more…)
