Monday, August 1st, 2022
Joe has said the center call after Ryan Jensen’s ugly knee injury is Tom Brady’s audible to make. (more…)

Bucs WR Russell Gage.
One thing about training camp, through the first four practices jumps out at Joe, albeit all underwear football practices.

Bucs DL Logan Hall.
The pads come on today! (more…)

NFL’s senior citizens.
Speaking with a handful of Bucs players last week, Joe honestly doesn’t know who is more geeked, players or fans. (more…)

Lavonte David
Through four days of underwear football at training camp (aka pads-free practices), the explosiveness of Lavonte David is in Joe’s top-3 most encouraging signs.
The NFL’s active leader in solo tackles looks fantastic. (more…)

Cameron Brate’s Gronk spike.
Don’t get pissed at Joe for the headline. It comes from a true Buccaneers insider with first-hand knowledge of the situation. (more…)
Do not tell Buccaneers savior linebacker Devin White he did a good job reading keys and reacting after the snap. (more…)

Todd Bowles reacts.
You can take the head coach away from the defense but you can’t take the defensive coordinator out of the head coach. (more…)

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.
