Congratulations, Mike Edwards!

It’s not every day that a guy coming off the bench hauls in a major award.

But it’s hard to argue with Bucs safety Mike Edwards getting the NFC Defensive Player Of The Week honor after two critical pick-6 interceptions against the Falcons on Sunday. That’s a rare feat, and the fist interception was a thing of beauty.

Pretty wild that the Bucs have two 2019 third round picks, Edwards and Jamel Dean, making major contributions in their Super Bowl-winning secondary. And people wonder why Joe calls the Bucs’ home turf The Licht House.

The Rams have Tampa Bay’s full attention, and that’s a very good thing or Buc Nation.

All during the offseason, Bruce Arians drove himself hoarse after constantly reminding the defending Super Bowl champs they are now the hunted. He kept telling his players and coaches that Tampa Bay needed to bring its “A” game every week because opposing teams would be amped up to topple the kings of the NFL hill.

But despite all the warnings, the Bucs proved you can’t mess with human nature. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians was fed up last week and was ready to change his initial approach to facing Atlanta. (more…)

Video breakdown.

This video is sort of X’s and O’s geeky but it’s pretty cool to see how plays develop. (more…)

Team guy.

Joe is confident given the words this week that Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians fingered Tom Brady for holding the ball too long on his sack/fumble against the Falcons, all of Brady’s sycophants and bootlickers in Bristol, Conn. will have their briefs bunched up at Arians. (more…)

Rams coach Sean McVay.

Yeah, teams so far through two weeks have pretty much abandoned the run against the Bucs’ defense and instead have gone to the air. (more…)

Last year, some moronic analysts blasted Bucco Bruce Arians for pointing public fingers of blame at Tom Brady and acted like Arians didn’t know how to coach a superstar quarterback. (more…)

O.J. Howard

O.J. Howard made a strong, 21-yard catch over the middle against the Falcons on Sunday, his first and only target of the 2021 season. (more…)

If there’s one former Buccaneer who knows a lot about the psychology and mentality of a football player, it’s blocking icon Michael Clayton. (more…)

Bucs QB Tom Brady.

No, the Bucs defense through two games hasn’t played (yet) to the level it played in the playoffs last year. But one national writer put that in perspective. (more…)

Yes, Tom Brady was in Aaron Rodgers’ ear during his offseason saga that had fans thinking he might leave the Packers. (more…)

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

Here is another example of why as Bucs fans we are now living charmed lives. (more…)

Home run hitter.

Antonio Brown is everything DeSean Jackson was supposed to be. (more…)

Hoop dreams set him apart.

Sometimes, ball skills from one sport to the next do indeed translate. (more…)

Historic run.

Yes, Joe understands players must wait five years after their retirement before being eligible to be voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That may have to change. (more…)

Bucs coach Bruce Arians winces referencing mistackles.

In consecutive games to open the 2021 season, the Bucs’ pass defense has coughed up 391 yards to the Cowboys and 293 to the Dixie Chicks. (more…)

Wanted.

The Bucs have company. (more…)

Only one man leads the Buccaneers in receiving yards and total catches this season. (more…)

Linebacker Kevin Minter

The Sickness remains a concern for every NFL team and the Bucs have been hit today.

Bucs announced linebacker Kevin Minter and practice squad wide receiver Travis Jonsen are now on the Reserve/COVID-19 list.

Man, from a football prospective, Joe has fingers crossed for the rest of the Bucs’ linebackers corps.

Joe wishes Minter and Jonsen a speedy, healthy return.
