Joe was really sickened by a piece of commentary from Gerald McCoy yesterday.
A rookie back in 2010, McCoy started 13 games for a 10-6 team, his only winning team in five seasons, and McCoy didn’t have fun so it wasn’t a happy memory for him.
Bucs fans are hungry for victory, hungry to see Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, wash the stain of losing that’s soiled the proud Buccaneers franchise for too long. [read more]
Lauds Jameis.
Asked about the rookie quarterbacks starting Sunday, Marcus Mariota and America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, Gerald McCoy sounded like Dick LeBeau.
McCoy said Mariota is not a rookie to him, instead, he is the starting quarterback of the team he needs to beat. When the subject of Jameis came up, GMC raved about Jameis like few other teammates have. [read more]
Talkin’ Jameis.
When the PC crowd and those who daily look for reasons to be offended and outraged learned the Bucs were interested in drafting America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, their reaction was as if Team Glazer ordered cable TV stations to remove Lifetime and MSNBC from their channel options. [read more]
Former Bucs OC Jeff Tedford’s offense in the CFL is struggling.
When Lovie Smith brought Jeff Tedford to be his offensive coordinator, it was thought by some to be a bold strike by Lovie.
Tedford, who ran pretty good offenses in college, was a supposed to be a new breed of play caller. [read more]
The “Custodian of Canton” has troubling data on the Bucs.
Yes, the Bucs are 30-70 in their last 100 games. A brutal, brutal stretch that harkens to the last month of the Chucky administration when he lost his final four games as Bucs coach (one to, of all people, JaMarcus Russell at home).
Few dreamed it at the time, but it proved to be a harbinger of terrible times. [read more]

Former Bucs QB Shaun King
The Bucs’ offensive line cannot be expected to pass block consistently. Evidence to the contrary simply doesn’t exist. [read more]
Former Bucs commander Greg Schiano may be gone, but his philosophy is very much still with the Bucs defense.
When former Bucs commander Greg Schiano first came to town, it didn’t take long for him to alienate a lot of Bucs fans when he bristled at the cliché, “Make a play.” [read more]
This was not the scene at One Buc Palace this afternoon

Joe has no issue with starting rookies on the front line, like LT Donovan Smith. (Nor does Joe have an issue with Colleen Wolfe.)
Joe knows Bucs fans are screaming that their beloved pewter pirates are starting two rookies on the offensive line. Screaming! However, Joe is fine with that.
After all, these guys, Donovan Smith and Ali Marpet, were drafted in the second round for a reason. [read more]
It shouldn’t get much easier than Sunday for starting defensive end Jacquies Smith.
It’s the 255-pound speedster versus the gargantuan 335-pound rookie right tackle; Bucs leading sackmaster (Joe uses the term loosely here) Jacqueis Smith simply can’t lose this battle on Sunday. [read more]

Prickly Pete Prisco muscles up with his forecast for the 2015 Bucs.
The way the predictions for the season are rolling in from national talking heads and stenographers covering the NFL, Bucs fans are going to want to shove their heads into a groundhog hole.
None other than prickly Pete Prisco of CBS Sports has thrown in his two cents. He too believes the Bucs will be woeful. [read more]
Can the Buccaneers be bad and still be on the right track?
Yes. And Joe predicts the Bucs will be in that state in 17 weeks.
Joe projects a garbage 6-10 finish for Tampa Bay in 2015. [read more]
Bucs OC Dirk Koetter said there are ways to help protect Jameis if the front line breaks down.
Having a lousy edge pass rush for yet another friggin’ year, or a lost running game if Doug Martin gets hurt, are not the absolute worst fears of Bucs fans this fall [read more]
