Ryan Delaire, a defensive end who spent all offseason and training camp with the Bucs, sacked Jameis Winston twice today.
Over and over again in Buccaneers training camp, No. 75 would flash against second- and third-teamers.

Bucs WR Vincent Jackson claims the Bucs are not fundamentally sound.
The Bucs tossed their cookies on the field of the Den of Depression this afternoon.
Uh-freaking-gen, man!
Yes, the blowhard haters will point to the four picks thrown by America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, the first foursome by a Bucs quarterback since then-veteran Josh Freeman at New Orleans in December 2012. [read more]

The Bucs were far more competitive in their first two home games of 2014, than in their first two home games of 2015.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Derrick Brooks and Mike Alstott are telling Bucs fans they need to be patient. [read more]

You have got to be s(p)itting Joe!
The Bucs, after a woeful start, had a chance at the end of the first half to tie the game 17-17. America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston is famous for last minute drives, and he had the Bucs marching in the Stinking Panthers red zone. [read more]

Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, sure was awful against Carolina today. He looked more like America’s Disappointment on this afternoon.
But what was most disturbing was that Jameis repeated mistakes. [read more]

Leave.
Enough! Joe doesn’t give a damn how far you can kick a field goal so long as you miss chip shots time and again.
Already Kyle Brindza, who has two of the longest field goals in Bucs history, has cost Tampa Bay 17 points in two games (well, through six quarters). [read more]

Mike Evans hauling in passes sure would help out the Bucs today.
On face value, just looking at the box score, Mike Evans had a nice game against Houston last week.
He tied a career high with seven catches, for 101 yards and an average of 14.4 yards a catch.
But those who watched know a bigger truth: Evans had a game he would like to forget. [read more]

How Stinking Panthers TE Greg Olsen fares will speak volumes about Lovie Smith’s defense.
When you know a specific player is coming at you and a defense still cannot stop said player, it says something about the players used to defense said weapon, or the defense employed to stop said weapon.
Either way, it all falls back on one man today. That would be Bucs coach Lovie Smith. [read more]

Mike Evans makes a stunning admission: He forgot what real football was like.
So how rusty was Mike Evans last Sunday?
Consider this, he hadn’t been tackled since 2014. The old school NFL players in Joe’s reading audience just crapped their pants. [read more]

Offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter
In these unsettled times of devastating Bucs losses, constant change and growing pains, Joe thought it would be wise to bring back THE OPTIMIST.
THE OPTIMIST is Nick Houllis, a Bucs fan and an accomplished writer whose steadfast allegiance to the Buccaneers goes back to the 1970s. Houllis is the founder, creator and guru of BucStop.com, a place Joe goes to get lost in time via Houllis’ stunning video collection.
THE OPTIMIST will shine that positive light in your eyes. Some will love it. Some won’t. … Of course, THE OPTIMIST’s opinions are his alone and are not influenced by Joe. [read more]

Much better start than Lovie.
Yesterday, Joe brought word that yet another former Bucs great is preaching patience with the continued losing of the Bucs under coach Lovie Smith.
That would be 3-16 Lovie (and counting). [read more]

Mike Alstott has words for Bucs fans. They don’t sit well with Joe.
Who is ready to sit in the Den of Depression tomorrow and hear the A-train whistle blow again? Joe sure is. Chills.
That whistle, of course, is for Ring of Honor entrant Mike Alstott, who lives in Pinellas County and often counsels Buccaneers fans. [read more]

Joe already shared that Mike Evans thinks Jameis Winston is so on target he might be fooling referees.
But Evans also has other theories when it comes to pass interference calls against him. [read more]

Despite being benched, CB Alterraun Verner is in Lovie’s corner.
Joe can understand any player, much less a proud guy like Bucs cornerback Alterraun Verner, being totally peeved about being benched and having to bite his tongue in frustration. [read more]
