Lots of Bucs getting a night off for various major and minor injuries. Nothing surprising here. And Joe things DeSean Jackson made the list because the Bucs don’t want/need their fancy hot rod on a wet track.
Here’s the full list. [read more]
“Bigger.”
It seems to be fashionable for Bucs fans to always gripe about the offensive line. [read more]
Smeared
Joe was intrigued by the recent public, on-air scrutiny of a Dirk Koetter-Jameis Winston conversation that never happened.
It was a great example of the hot topic of “fake news.” [read more]
Valuable or twisted stats?
Joe enjoys the work of the Football Outsiders crowd much more than the PFF tribe. Joe’s been over this several times. [read more]
The No. 1 reason the Buccaneers’ future is stable rests in the mind of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston.
That was the message delivered by the man who knows best. [read more]

While you prepare for the first preseason home game tonight against the protesting Browns — Joe would protest too if he was part of that outfit because they have been garbage for so long — why not get your Bucs fix by listening to Joe from his appearance yesterday on ESPN Tallahassee? [read more]
Yes, some key Tampa bay Buccaneers won’t play against the bumbling Browns tonight. Don’t expect to Gerald McCoy, Brent Grimes, Kwon Alexander and Mike Evans, who are all nursing various physical issues, some of which are more serious than others.

The Buccaneers’ preseason is heating up with reps that mean a lot for many individual players. During tonight’s game against the Cleveland Browns at the soon-to-be Den of Happiness that is Raymond James Stadium, that bodes true for the starters. [read more]
New Dolphins DC Matt Burke has inherited a shaky pass defense.
Yeah, two preseason games remain for the Bucs, but it’s all about opening day on Sunday, Sept. 10, against Miami in South Florida. Daily, Joe will bring you a nugget to two on the Dolphins to prime you for the big day (and/or the night before). Of course, Joe watched a good chunk of the Dolphins-Eagles preseason game Thursday night. [read more]
Dismisses injury.
In the words of Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, it’s all a fuss over very little. [read more]

The notion of the Tampa Bay Bucs trading for LeSean McCoy, either now or at some point this fall, shouldn’t be dismissed out of hand.
Will it happen? Probably not.
Could it happen? Yes it can.
Some Buc fans appear convinced that McCoy is breaking down at the age of 29. I don’t see it. [read more]
Stunning patient
Time to tip the ol’ cap to general manager Jason Licht and his personnel team and medical staff. [read more]
Not just a pass-catcher.
Joe was impressed by who really flashed during the last day of training camp practice. [read more]
