Steve Duemig
Joe was back in the steel cage with The Big Dog, Steve Duemig, on WDAE-AM 620 this evening.
The “JoeBucsFan Hour” is like nothing on local radio. [read more]
When Mike Evans first came to the Buccaneers, he tweaked a hamstring in spring practices.
Last season, he blew a groin in Pittsburgh but only missed a game and a half. [read more]
Bucs G Ali Marpet and the rest of the offensive line sure surprised Joe last night.
Watching America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, march the Bucs downfield last night, mixing in strong runs by Doug Martin and timely, accurate passes, Joe got weak in the knees.
Could the Bucs, the ground-and-pound Bucs, the defensive-minded Bucs, a team so putrid at times on offense you often went to the crapper when the Bucs had the ball, actually provide offensive excitement for a change? [read more]
In the Bucs’ locker room last night, Gerald McCoy had a little playful fun with rookie guard Ali Marpet. Various players were talking about penalties, and Marpet was smiling.
McCoy shot a look at him and said, “What did you get?” [read more]
Bucs rookie WR Kenny Bell has no catches this preseason
Who’s going to make the final roster? Who’s on the bubble? Who’s getting noticed?
With two preseason games in the books, the bubble is taking shape. [read more]

Yes, Joe is still tingly all over this morning after watching America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, prove to the whole country on national television in prime time why he was the No. 1 overall pick in the draft.
When the lights flip on, Jameis shines. [read more]
Last night’s Bucs game meant nothing.
The game didn’t count. It was phony football behind a real-football façade.
But what was real is the exploding impact of Jameis Winston. [read more]
Remember when Lovie Smith directly instructed Joe not to read much into Henry Melton practicing at defensive end because, per Lovie, Melton only practiced there because somebody probably needed “a blow?”
Yeah, well, Joe never bought that. And Melton started at left defensive end last night. [read more]
Danny Lansanah (51) tackles Bengals running back Jeremy Hill last night. Lansanah admitted tongue-lashings from coaches inspired the Bucs. Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.
Man, it was like Joe was watching two different teams. Ten days ago, in their first at-bat of the 2015 preseason, the Bucs didn’t look better than they were last year.
Last night? Geez. Where has this team been? [read more]
“America’s Quarterback” sure seemed at ease the past two weeks playing behind backup center Jeremiah Warren.
Joe mentioned last night how, at least from the naked eye, it seems like “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, is very comfortable taking snaps from backup Jeremiah Warren. [read more]
Jameis caught by cameras off the field pumping up his fellow Bucs.
Last night, as with all home games, Joe was in the press box. There, Joe has to get out of his seat and crane his neck to see a TV replay of the Bucs play during a telecast, and there is no audio (for obvious reasons as folks are working). So often, fans will see (and hear) more on TV from home than Joe ever will. [read more]

Strange words from the very mouth of “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston.
Strange indeed. [read more]
Rookie starting middle linebacker Kwon Alexander
Lovie Smith anointed a new quarterback of the defense last week, a 21-year-old rookie fourth-round pick, Kwon Alexander. [read more]
“America’s Quarterback” seems so much comfortable with Jeremiah Warren at center.
Joe isn’t being off the wall here.
Jeremiah Warren is a backup to starting center Evan Smith for a reason. He hasn’t been that good. [read more]

A home victory. Wow!
It doesn’t count, but it feels so good. At this rate, Joe might soon have to retire the Den of Depression nickname. [read more]
Doug Martin takes a handoff from “America’s Quarterback.” Joe thinks it is safe to say the “Muscle Hamster” has returned. Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.
Joe had heard Doug Martin say how he is healthy and ready to rock and roll this year.
Then again, what did Joe expect Martin to say, he wanted to barf on Evan Smith and get cut?
So Joe was skeptical entering the preseason games of what Martin could do. [read more]
George Johnson almost made fans forget Michael Bennett tonight
Look, when a Tampa Bay defensive end has a sack and a half before halftime, and the Bucs have three first-quarter sacks, local fans collectively have a football orgasm. [read more]
No catches this preseason for Mike Evans
The Bucs play the Titans in 19 short days, and Mike Evans has a new hamstring injury.
It’s unclear what happened in tonight’s game against the Bengals. [read more]

Bucs RT Demar Dotson is eyeing an earlier return than first thought.
Man, when Joe saw injured right tackle Demar Dotson on crutches last week, Joe thought the dude was on stilts he is so big.
One of the nicest guys you will ever meet, Dotson injured his knee late in the first half of the first preseason game because Lovie Smith feared for the safety of “America’s Quarterback,” Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. [read more]
