Bucs WR Mike Evans.

Mike Evans is just a handful of games from finishing his eighth season in the NFL and his resume says he’s a future member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He’s every bit the veteran. He’s seen a ton of defensive backs come and go. (more…)

AND

Bucs CB Richard Sherman.

The Bucs announced two players have entered a 21-day window to be added to the active roster.

And Joe is wondering if there is a hidden message here. (more…)

O.J. Howard’s coach speaks out.

Newspapers and subscription sports websites remind Joe a lot of Bucs tight end O.J. Howard. (more…)

Cool chatter here from Joe’s good friend Jason McIntyre of FOX Sports. (more…)

America’s Jockey!

Jason Pierre-Paul is a shell of himself, as is Devin White. Ndamukong Suh turns 35 next week and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka isn’t the rookie version of Noah Spence or Adrian Clayborn.

Giovani Bernard

Not even a week ago Bucco Bruce Arians was talking about how Scotty Miller would return punts against Atlanta because Jaelon Darden would miss the game with a concussion and Miller had been working on the role all season. (more…)

Drooling

Joe thinks it’s a safe bet to predict what Bills defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier is going to do Sunday at The Licht House. (more…)
