Impressive stat.

There seems to have been a whole lot more chatter the past couple of days that Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales might be a one-and-done kind of a guy in Tampa. [read more]

Focused on goal.

Awesome answer from Bucs coach Todd Bowles this afternoon. [read more]

Hates Saints defensive end Cam Jordan.

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan is one of the great anti-Bucs windbags of the 21st century. He’s trashed the Bucs repeatedly.

So it’s sort of fun to note that Jordan is now a trash player. [read more]

A former Buccaneer is angry.

As Joe painfully shared earlier this week, no team has allowed more passing yards this season than Tampa Bay.

And one former Buccaneer is angry about it — because he feels there’s an easy fix. [read more]

So what about that learning curve for first-year offensive coordinator Dave Canales?

During a radio interview, Canales got candid. [read more]

Injury report.

So today’s injury report was released as the Bucs prepare for a win-and-they’re-in game with the slimy Saints. A key cog to the offense didn’t practice.

Bucs receiver Chris Godwin has been nursing a sore knee and the Bucs gave him a day off as his injury was listed as “knee/rest.” Godwin had the same rest day last week.

Godwin joined Bucs sacks king outside linebacker Shaq Barrett (groin), corner Carlton Davis (concussion) and tight end Ko Kieft (shoulder) as Bucs players not on the practice field.

One and done?

When a team succeeds and a key member of its coaching staff has a nice body of work with successful starters — especially quarterbacks — it’s no shock to see said coach’s name floated as a head coaching candidate. [read more]

While they still boast a few stars, the 2023 Buccaneers have won the region over with a one-for-all attitude that helped them persevere through a horrendous midseason slide that would have doomed this franchise in years gone by. Tampa Bay took on adversity head on and never whined about injuries, official’s calls or bad breaks. [read more]

Joe was adamant on preseason Ira Kaufman Podcasts that the Bucs would throw a lot this year because good sense or desperation would prevail no matter how badly Todd Bowles might want to be a run-first team.

And here sits Baker Mayfield with the eighth-most passing attempts in the National Football League. [read more]
