Koetter’s Two Offseason Keys

January 1st, 2018

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Buc fans can only hope this franchise does a better job of addressing its priorities in 2018.

A year ago, Dirk Koetter singled out the lack of explosive plays as a major issue after a 9-7 season. In that regard, Tampa Bay zeroed in on DeSean Jackson in free agency, adding a speedy target who can stretch the field. [read more]

A Charity Thank You, Fantasy Playoff Drafts & Chatting Saturday Night With Jon Gruden

January 1st, 2018

Todd’s first podcast of 2018 is ready and has some really interesting items to start the new year. First, since Todd Gurley owners around the world wanted to give back to him, our Todd Wright has an idea to play off that same charitable concept. For any of you who won a little something in fantasy and feel that listening to the podcast or sending those emails to Todd helped you do it, Todd has a charity he supports that he invites you to support as well. Todd’s asking for $1 of your winnings if you feel he helped you and the details are in this podcast for SydneyHasASister.com. Todd also had an interesting last Saturday night of 2017 as Jon Gruden had some things to say to Todd in person at a huge Outback Bowl party in Tampa that were totally unexpected and unsolicited. Todd also walks you through what the fantasy podcasts will be like for the NFL postseason, as he’ll keep delivering twice per week thru Super Bowl 52 thanks to Hooters and Westchase Golf Club.

Martin Matches 2016 Production

January 1st, 2018

NFL career likely over

As expected, after -3 yards of rushing in yesterday’s season finale, Doug Martin gave the 2017 Bucs exactly what they got through 2016: a starting running back who finished the season averaging 2.9 yards per carry while other running backs around him were significantly more productive. [read more]

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Bucs-Saints

December 31st, 2017

BY IRA KAUFMAN

With one glorious throw by Jameis Winston, a pass that both surprised and thrilled Dirk Koetter, the Bucs changed the narrative.

When that 39-yard strike landed in the reliable arms of Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay gave its long-suffering fans a taste of what might have been. The Saints played hard with an NFC South title at stake – but the Bucs played harder.

They were rewarded for their efforts with a 31-24 triumph that ended the second 5-game losing streak of a bitterly disappointing season. [read more]
