Lovie said it himself at 12:01 p.m. EST today.
The head coach made it crystal clear at the One Buc Palace podium moments ago: Jameis will be the guy from Day 1 of training camp.
Rough day for the Mike Glennon Mob, which was yearning for a what they called “fair competition.”
New Bucs DE George Johnson explains
The 2015 savior of the Bucs’ edge pass rush, George Johnson, a new arrival from the Lions, explained today that the Tampa Bay defense has a very serious mission through the next few weeks. [read more]
A heralded defensive end out of Clemson, a second-round draft pick of the Bucs, Da’Quan Bowers doesn’t play that position any longer.
Joe talked to Bowers this morning as he arrived at One Buc Palace. [read more]
Underdog 30-year-0ld starting strongside linebacker Danny Lansanah knows a lot about working hard for what he has.
The guy was out of football and playing minor league football for another shot to make it in the NFL, which came with the Bucs two years ago. [read more]

Tampa Bay’s superstar rookie of 2014, 21-year-old Mike Evans, was a very optimistic cat this morning as he reported to One Buc Palace with the rest of the Bucs veterans. [read more]
Buccaneers veterans reported for training camp this morning, but very few were there at One Buc Palace before Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback. [read more]
Super Bowl in first year?
Joe has stated time and again he thinks this year’s Bucs squad looks like a six-win team, which would be a vast improvement over 2-14 last season. [read more]
Lovie gets a powerful vote of support for his O-line
If you have extreme confidence in Lovie Smith, like Bucs’ Super Bowl defensive tackle Booger McFarland does, then of course you sleep without the aid of narcotics. [read more]
Studs.
Yes, Joe is of the mind that arguably the best one-two punch of NFL receivers is Godzilla Evans and Vincent Jackson. If there are one-two punches better than the Bucs’ duo, the list is damn short. [read more]
If only the Buccaneers had a dozen more guys like Lavonte David.
Remember when Alterraun Verner named David, not Gerald McCoy, as the hardest worker on the Buccaneers? [read more]
Joe and other media types who saw Gerald McCoy practice all through the spring surely would say he was in fine shape. Perhaps the best shape of his career.
But a lot has changed in the six weeks since Tampa Bay left minicamp in June. [read more]
A BSPN writer is no fan of the “Muscle Hamster.”
Harsh words from the keyboard of Eric Karabell of BSPN.com. And Joe can’t really argue a whole lot about his findings. [read more]
It’s the countdown feature you’ve all been waiting for. Not really, but on the heels of last year’s award-winning “20 Worst Buccaneers Of The Past 10 years” feature, Joe had to deliver.
A list like this is highly subjective and toxic. Fits of rage were common during production meetings at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters. Scared interns soiled their pants. Full beer bottles were smashed, and a treasured Rachel Watson poster was accidently destroyed. But order was restored.
Current and former general managers and head coaches might not like what’s coming, but it had to be done. This is what happens when your team is 30-70 in its last 100 games. [read more]
Noted NFL analyst is high on ASJ.
Joe is willing to give mulligans to a couple of Bucs rookies who didn’t exactly live up to their billing in 2014.
One is Charles Sims. The guy started the year with a bum wheel and it sure looked as if Sims was forced into the lineup to try to prove a point, and maybe it was way too premature. [read more]
A noted NFL analyst has a dire warning if Patrick Omameh starts.
Yes, just about every Bucs fan knows this: The key to the season is the offensive line.
It must protect “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, for the future of the franchise, not to mention this season. [read more]
Last night, following Jason Licht’s Town Hall event on WDAE-AM 620, a question was posed to the general manager about whether the entire roster would be healthy and ready to play football on Saturday when training camp begins. [read more]

A former Buccaneer has a warning for Bucs fans
Some ferocious football negativity was hurled at Jameis Winston this week.
Joe just doesn’t get it. [read more]
Bucs rookie left tackle Donovan Smith
The No. 34 overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft is one confident dude. Sometimes, he reminds Joe of the No. 1 overall pick, America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston. [read more]
Yesterday might have been the second worst day of 2015 for the Mike Glennon Mob. [read more]
The GM says Bowers has been “humbled.”
Joe recognizes that many fans remain in stunned disbelief because Tampa Bay re-signed Da’Quan Bowers this week. [read more]
The Bucs’ 2015 rookie class hasn’t put pads on yet, but there are positive signs across the board.
It’s noteworthy that none has raised a red flag since joining the team, general manager Jason Licht said last night. [read more]
Logan Mankins (r) reported in A-list shape in April. Evan (Dietrich) Smith (l) was quite a bit softer.
Not only are the Bucs confident in Logan Mankins reviving his borderline Hall of Fame career, one that derailed last year with the absence of a barbecue venue, a key Bucs official has called him the “father of the locker room.” [read more]
