Not going to worry about rust.
When the Bucs offense takes the field Sunday afternoon at the Den of Depression, it will be the first time in 22 days that the offense will have played in a game condition.
That’s not ideal. Of course, what has been ideal thus far for the Bucs since the NFL season began? [read more]
Jameis explains
There’s a great Bill Parcells story that Joe referenced once on the Ira Kaufman Podcast. [read more]

You might have heard Fenton and The Free Stretch on local and national airwaves, but it’s been years. (Actually, it’s only been a week; the kickoff episode is linked here.)
Today, Bobby dives deep into expectations on the Bucs and his belief that most hurricane evacuations and panic are are absolute lunacy. And there’s plenty more on the Buccaneers and the NFL, too. [read more]
“Show them, my son.”
Yes, there really is a Mike Glennon Mob.
That wasn’t a figment of Joe’s vivid imagination. Heck, in 2015, a prominent Bucs beat writer was adamant that America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, should have been forced to win the starting job from Glennon in a true competition. [read more]

Bye week helped some.
When the Bucs were thrown a curveball by the NFL and learned their bye week would be opening week instead of Nov. 19, a lot of Bucs fans thought this could be good for safety T.J. Ward. [read more]

Dodging and coping with Hurricane Irma.
In case you missed it, the Bucs had a walk-through last night and a practice today. That’s largely because the Bucs did a helluva job corralling players who were scattered across the nation for their unexpected bye week and many had plans to return Monday until Hurricane Irma called. [read more]
Little substance gleaned.
What about all this talk of Mike Glennon giving valuable information to Bears coaches as they plan for Sunday’s game against the Buccaneers? [read more]
