Bucs DC Todd Bowles.

Joe just does not understand why NFL teams cannot tackle well. It blows Joe’s mind. (more…)

Offensive line computer data.

Let Joe be clear here: Joe absolutely loves the Bucs offensive line and as in the famous monologue/opening to one of Joe’s favorite movies, “Patton,” recited by George C. Scott portraying Gen. George S. Patton, Joe would be proud to go to battle with the Bucs’ offensive line “anytime, anywhere.” (more…)

There is a big ray of sunshine surrounding that smelly thing we saw (and enjoyed) last week. (more…)

Safety Antoine Winfield

In Todd Bowles’ first two seasons as defensive coordinator, his Bucs defenses have only given up 400 yards passing twice. (more…)

Remembers plays this year.

We all know the Bucs’ offense, which returned all 11+1 starters, is more efficient than last year at this time. (more…)

MVP odds.

Joe is guessing those who wagered a few bucks on park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking, tequila-shooting, smartphone-phobic, waffle-grilling, trophy-throwing, roller-coaster-scared, numbers-rules-peeved, helmet-tossing, football-punting, Bucs-Super Bowl-winning quarterback Tom Brady to win the NFL MVP race were smiling after Brady had such a fantastic night to open the season.

Candid and somewhat confusing comments from Bucco Bruce Arians. (more…)

Shaq Barrett (back), Antonio Brown (knee) and Jordan Whitehead (hamstring) all were full-go at practice today. The Barrett “injury” was fresh news, as he was not on the official injury report with Brown and Whitehead last week.

Bucco Bruce Arians already has said Whitehead will play Sunday, his 2021 debut.

New to the 2021 injury report is Jason Pierre-Paul with a hand injury. He was “limited participation” today.

Joe always worries about a bending and violent pass rusher like Shaq having a back issue, but there’s no reason to think it’s serious.

Says Week 1 can be deceiving.

Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians was talking about mirages, indirectly. (more…)

Bucs coach Bucco Bruce Arians.

No, Joe didn’t use that headline to describe the Bucs cheerleaders from a few years ago. (more…)

Good news out of One Buc Palace. (more…)

Like he did during most of his New England years, Rob Gronkowski played 75 percent of the Buccaneers’ offensive snaps last season. (more…)
