Bucs QBs were terrorized last season — no thanks to the ole’ blocking of left tackle Anthony Collins.
Yes, Joe has concerns about the offensive line and had concerns about it last season.
But never did Joe’s wildest dreams foresee the complete and total jailbreak it morphed into. It really was something to behold, and not in a good way. [read more]
Joe isn’t sure where this concept of “mentoring” started, that rookie quarterbacks have to be so babied they need a teammate that is more wet nurse than backup quarterback. [read more]
The Cowboys are using drones to film their OTA practices, and Joe is using similar tactics to gain intelligence from the Buccaneers’ sessions, which were closed to media yesterday and today. [read more]
Joe’s perspective regularly differs from his Bucs media peers.
Sometimes, the contrast is so drastic that it drives Joe to repeatedly bang his head against a wall. [read more]
There’s rabid panic, nausea and teeth-grinding at JoeBucsFan.com world headquarters when the topic turns to warm beer the Buccaneers’ offensive line.
But it’s all sunshine and daisies inside the posh media confines of One Buc Palace. [read more]

Joe caught up with Doug Martin a few weeks ago when he was volunteering with the Buccaneers at a community youth event in Clearwater. It was then that Martin shared some info on his changed body. [read more]
Nothing gets the Mike Glennon Mob more excited than knowing their guy is the Buccaneers’ No. 1 quarterback.
Well, they also get all hot in the pants for the new “29-and-15” bumper stickers, representing Glennon’s touchdown-to-interception ratio. [read more]

Yes, the Bucs began flag football OTAs yesterday with the full complement of all 90 on the roster.
No, no one outside of a Bucs employee saw this as the practice was closed. [read more]
Ross Tucker of NBC Sports Network isn’t a believer in the Tampa-2.
Last year, the echoes from none other than former Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Chucky bounced off the walls of NFL offices when he repeatedly stated on Monday Night Football that the Tampa-2 is near death in the pass-happy NFL. [read more]
Former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik explains some mistakes he made during his administration.
But for one year, the records are terrible. And as former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik said Tuesday, it’s on his resumé.
In what Joe believes is the most telling Dominik has been publicly about his Bucs tenure, Dominik shed light on his former administration, confessed mistakes, and sort of explained why some moves later backfired. [read more]
The magic of “America’s Quarterback” didn’t rub off last night.
All good things must come to an end. And so it was last night when the Tampa Bay Lightning lost at home to force a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs. [read more]
John Madden checks in
Joe shared yesterday that pal of Lovie Smith and former Bucs defensive backs coach Herm Edwards believes tools that “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston, has to work with are elite, receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson. [read more]
Joe really enjoys the Tampa Bay Lightning but can’t bow to the hockey gods, not on this day, not on the first real day of significant practice on the heavenly fields of One Buc Palace.
Media was not allowed in, but Joe had covert drones flying overhead and operatives on the ground. [read more]
A close friend of Lovie weighs in
Joe did not know a close friend and confidante of Lovie Smith, a guy coming to patrol the sidelines at One Buc Palace this summer, once coached Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback. [read more]
Today is a massive day at One Buc Palace. [read more]
Earnest Graham asked Joe for a favor
If Joe sees something amazing on a football field connected to the Bucs, then Joe is going to share. [read more]
Sometimes it’s not what an important Buccaneer says, it’s how he says it.
Joe experienced one of those moments last week at One Buc Palace. [read more]
Video emerges
“America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, and fellow rookie Bryce Petty, who were both clients of quarterbacks guru George Whitfield, showed up at a local Indianapolis high school the day before the two were to throw at the NFL Scouting Combine. [read more]
Rookie left tackle Donovan Smith should be a big key if the Bucs can improve their offense this season. His arm candy improves anything.
When thinking of last year’s truly offensive offense, Joe doesn’t know whether to chug Kaopectate or Bushmills.
That offense was about as miserable as it gets. Juvenile quarterbacking, turnstile blocking, and not one running back who ran for 500 yards. Joe swears Team Glazer could have pulled some PlayStation Warrior out of the beer line at the Den of Depression and had the same production. [read more]
As a reader of Joe’s pointed out yesterday, if the Bucs have what Joe expects to be a 6-10 season, that means in two years Bucs coach Lovie Smith has won but eight games. [read more]
An ex-NFL offensive lineman breaks it down
So the Buccaneers have their quarterback, “America’s Quarterback,” Jameis Winston. While he may have damned near been Superman in college, he is now playing against grown-arse men, not children.
Jameis may have the work ethic that is expected of a franchise quarterback, but playing the game is a different matter. [read more]
No holiday for “America’s Quarterback.”
No, Joe does not take off Memorial Day or any holiday. That’s what separates Joe from other sites. Easter, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Fourth of July, Earth Day, doesn’t matter. Joe posts stories. [read more]
Jiminy freakin’ Christmas, one vague line from a Titans official, relayed by ESPN.com, has Jamies Winston haters and the Marcus Mariota Gang pounding their chests. [read more]
