Ali Marpet weighs in
Ali Marpet held his hand high today trying to make a point to reporters after practice. (more…)

A toasty one today, though it was broken up by cloud cover and a light rain halfway through for a couple of minutes. And there was a breeze. So not terribly bad. (more…)
If there are serious position battles on the Bucs, they lie at running back and among the bottom of the receivers’ depth chart. (more…)

Giovani Bernard
Tampa Bay has a new veteran player on the practice field.
They really do. Joe promises. (more…)

Lavonte David
The pads come on this morning for the first time at One Buc Palace, and one Buccaneer is extraordinarily happy about it. (more…)

Antonio Brown is not the fastest receiver on the Bucs. That honor goes to Scotty Miller.
However, Brown’s truly elite gear is measured very differently. (more…)
So when did Bucs officials know that Tom Brady’s knee was all messed up and would require surgery? (more…)

It sounds like Gators fans or anyone else should accept that Kyle Trask is far down the Bucs’ quarterback depth chart and there’s little expectation for him to climb this season. (more…)
Joe wasn’t going to type this up, but hey, it’s Friday. And it’s certainly interesting. (more…)

The heavy hitters are starting to show up. (more…)

“Joel, if Bruce Arians keeps winning Super Bowls, he can say whatever he wants about soccer.”
This might spark a conversation at the highest reaches at One Buc Palace. (more…)
The rich get richer. (more…)
It may surprise some fans to learn that Tom Brady has attempted 80 preseason passes since turning 40, and that’s with no preseason last year. (more…)

The sun stopped shining at One Buc Palace today. (more…)

Too much in 2020?
Two days ago Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians gave some older Bucs a vet day so they could have a two-day weekend of sorts to rest. (more…)
A good buddy of offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and a former Bucco Bruce Arians player says the Bucs have the greatest receiving corps the NFL has seen in the past 10 years, and he thinks Tampa Bay is a stone cold lock for the NFC South crown.
But he did toss out a scary negative. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians
Some NFL analysts believe the Bucs will feast this season on a softer schedule than last year. These same people are focused, naturally, on win-loss records of 2021 opponents. (more…)

Argues Tom Brady > Bruce Arians.
In New England, one of the best bar arguments isn’t who was the best Red Sox hitter, Ted Williams or Carl Yastrzemski, it’s who should receive the bulk of the credit for the Belicheats dynasty, Bill Belicheat or Tom Brady? (more…)

Handing offenses a defeat.
Football Outsiders has a pretty cool stat they call “defeats.” That’s basically when a defender owns a ball carrier or gets a defense off the field. In a good way.
