The first road trip of the season won’t be typical

Yes, Buccaneers players are expecting to get a sleep schedule from their head coach. [read more]

Congratulations, Mike Edwards!

It’s not every day that a guy coming off the bench hauls in a major award.

But it’s hard to argue with Bucs safety Mike Edwards getting the NFC Defensive Player Of The Week honor after two critical pick-6 interceptions against the Falcons on Sunday. That’s a rare feat, and the fist interception was a thing of beauty.

Pretty wild that the Bucs have two 2019 third round picks, Edwards and Jamel Dean, making major contributions in their Super Bowl-winning secondary. And people wonder why Joe calls the Bucs’ home turf The Licht House.

But despite all the warnings, the Bucs proved you can’t mess with human nature. [read more]

Bucco Bruce Arians was fed up last week and was ready to change his initial approach to facing Atlanta. [read more]

Team guy.

Joe is confident given the words this week that Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians fingered Tom Brady for holding the ball too long on his sack/fumble against the Falcons, all of Brady’s sycophants and bootlickers in Bristol, Conn. will have their briefs bunched up at Arians.

Rams coach Sean McVay.

Yeah, teams so far through two weeks have pretty much abandoned the run against the Bucs’ defense and instead have gone to the air. [read more]

Last year, some moronic analysts blasted Bucco Bruce Arians for pointing public fingers of blame at Tom Brady and acted like Arians didn’t know how to coach a superstar quarterback. [read more]
