Joe ran directly into blunt objects this afternoon after listening to Dirk Koetter. [read more]

Ahh, welcome to late August, when NFL teams are banged up before a meaningful snap has been taken. [read more]

Bucs fans are rightfully fantasizing today about the Vernon Hargreaves becoming the next Darrelle Revis.

And the extra good news is Tampa Bay won’t cut him after his first Bucs season, like they did to Revis. [read more]

Evan Smith might win back the starting center gig

Outside of right tackle Demar Dotson’s false start on the Bucs’ first drive, Joe is sure the first-team offensive line has plenty to smile about today. [read more]

Interesting insight from Dirk Koetter on Tampa Bay’s first touchdown last night. [read more]

Still looking to make a play against an opponent.

Joe has only one word to say about the depth of the Bucs wide receivers after last night’s preseason game with the Jags. [read more]

Trade winds blowing?

Very interesting nugget dropped on the Bucs-Jags telecast by good guy Chris Myers seen (and heard) locally on Channel 38 last night. [read more]

God bless, Dirk Koetter.

He is a regular guy who worked his ass off to get an NFL head coaching job at 57 years old, but he hasn’t lost his regular-guy ways. [read more]

Shouldn’t stress out.

As Joe noted in his Gameday post, with Doug Martin sitting the game out, backup running backs would get plenty of reps to show their wares. [read more]

Last week was understandable. Tonight was downright scary. [read more]

Mike Evans hauls in TD pass Saturday. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

The touchdown catch by Mike Evans in the first half from America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, was some grab. [read more]

Joe cannot fully blame the lack of a pass rush on GMC’s absense.

All through preseason and very much so last week against the Eagles, the Bucs had a pass rush that folks were so shocked to see, it was as if it was an optical illusion. [read more]

Will Vernon Hargreaves bench Alterraun Verner?

How bout that A-list, diving pass breakup by Brent Grimes on deep ball tonight to Jags stud wide receiver Allen Robinson.

There’s a reason nobody’s talking about it. [read more]

The first throw of the night in Jacksonville by America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, was hot garbage, low and uncatchable to an open Vincent Jackson on the right sideline.

His night didn’t improve quickly. [read more]

The Bucs and Jags are ready to rock and roll. What about you?

So the Bucs face a bit of a better team tonight for the battle of Florida quarterbacks (sorry Ryan Tannehill, you don’t count). It’s the pride of Florida State vs. Mr. UCF; America’s Quarterback, Pro Bowler Jameis Winston, vs. Blake Bortles.

Bang it here in the comments section all throughout the game with your thoughts on who is playing well, and who should apply to work at Disney World.

And remember to stay with Joe for postgame news and commentary like you will not receive from any other outlet.

Night off.

It appears Doug Martin isn’t the only Bucs stud to get the night off. [read more]

Out

Wait a minute. Doug Martin says he needs the preseason work but he won’t play tonight, per a Rick Stroud report. [read more]
