From his perch in central Georgia, 435 miles from Tampa, Bruce Arians watches the Bucs with a keen eye.

The coach who led the 2020 Bucs to a Super Bowl victory is feeling prideful for the job his hand-picked successor is doing as Tampa Bay seeks a fourth consecutive NFC South title. I caught up with Arians this week to talk about Todd Bowles, Jason Licht, Liam Coen and Tampa Bay’s 4-2 start heading into a dynamic Monday night matchup against the streaking Ravens. [read more]

“Don’t worry Chris, pressures are a f@#$ing joke.”

Running back Bucky Irving makes slimy Saints defenders whiff.

One of Joe’s biggest gripes with Rachaad White as a runner (Joe has zero gripes and only loud praise for him as a receiver) is that White either has awful vision or he just doesn’t read blocks correctly. [read more]

So not only has playcaller Liam Coen turned the Bucs’ offense into a diverse and dangerous unit, he’s overseeing Baker Mayfield’s best season, which includes running the ball. [read more]

There’s one big reason why national hype has been flowing the Bucs’ direction since Sunday’s hammering of the Saints 51-24. [read more]
