Activated.

The cavalry is here.

The Bucs’ best cornerback, Carlton Davis, will be ready to play on Sunday. Whether he is active on the gameday roster or how many snaps he may take will not be answered until then.

But Davis will be ready. That’s because the Bucs activated Davis from the 21-day, injured-reserve practice window. So not only is he making the trip to Atlanta, if he can play it sure smells like he will.

Antonio Brown has made a nice living by getting defensive backs off balance. He just did the same to his head coach. (more…)

Bucco Bruce Arians

“It pisses me off,” Bucco Bruce Arians said today. (more…)

Bad news for the Bucs.

Starting safety Jordan Whitehead pulled a calf in practice this week and Bucco Bruce Arians said it could be a major injury. He will not play Sunday in Atlanta.

Jaelon Darden (concussion) is out, as well.

Arians said the Bucs have options at safety with Ross Cockrell and Andrew Adams. Mike Edwards is suspended three games for using a phony vaccination card.

The numbers show the Bucs of the Bucco Bruce Arians era have perhaps the greatest rushing defense in the history of the NFL.

But why? (more…)

Joe’s not sure former Bucs guard Ian Beckles (1990-1996) is a voice of reason when it comes to all things Bucs. But he certainly is a big voice unafraid to call it as he sees it. (more…)

TAMPA TWO has got its focus on the field of battle. Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks dives in with Sage Ira Kaufman, the venerable JoeBucsFan.com columnist.

More fun from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

Flash poll posted at 5:45 a.m. Poll closed at 8:20 a.m.

Underrated?

We all know Bucs receiver Chris Godwin is damn good. But how good? Well, let’s see what NextGen Stats has to say. (more…)

The Falcons are weak

The Falcons have scored three touchdowns in their last three games and have averaged just eight total points in those three games.

Read that again. It’s not a typo. (more…)

Bucs WR Antonio Brown

The last time Joe took a stand when the Bucs were involved in a major, national NFL scandal/story, Joe’s stand was the opposite of what happened. (more…)

Lousy quarterback.

Sean Payton has a blind spot. (more…)
