But first things first. Score that amazing Tampa Bay limo experience this weekend. It’s always worth it.

Joe went back and forth this morning on WDAE-AM 620 with former Bucs guard Ian Beckles. All sorts of topics were on the table, from regime change to Mike Glennon and more. Full audio below.

Schiano is always teaching

Bucs commander Greg Schiano spent years working for Joe Paterno at Penn State and wore a tie to work there everyday, so he told NFL.com back in September.

Why so formal?

Paterno demanded it because “we were teachers,” Schiano said. [read more]

Bill Sheridan makes a stunning revelation

Now this should spread immense hope and optimism throughout the Tampa Bay area for the next eight months leading into the 2014 season.

Struggling defensive end Da’Quan Bowers “has never been well” this season, Bucs defensive coordinator Bill Sheridan said. [read more]

Greg Schiano has stayed away from reflecting on the 2013 season during his chats with local media this week.

When asked big-picture questions or to evaluate players, Schiano largely has said he’ll get to that on Monday after the Saints-Bucs game. But Schiano did engage in a little reflection with the New Orleans media. [read more]

Saints S Malcolm Jenkins seems to be a fan of Bucs QB Mike Glennon

Joe really believes that if Bucs commander Greg Schiano survives to coach the Bucs another year, it largely will be because Team Glazer offered Schiano a mulligan for how Rip Van Freeman maliciously attempted to tear apart the team and, in doing so, tried to Pearl Harbor Schiano’s career in order for Mr. Third String/Healthy Scratch to get his selfish way.

WDAE-AM 620 Bucs beat writer Tom Krasniqi shared an intriguing nugget from Darrelle Revis this afternoon.

Per his daily notebook, Krasniqi said the $1-million-per-game cornerback wants a hand in improving his new team. [read more]

Brian Billick talks about the Bucs’ formula and why it’s not working

Bucs fans remember the old Tony Dungy offensive formula to win football games in Tampa. It wasn’t always pretty.

Former Super Bowl winning head coach Brian Billick knows all about it. He used the same philosophy. But Billick doesn’t think it suits the current Bucs under Greg Schiano.

Billick will call the Bucs-Saints game Sunday, and he called the Bucs-Rams game last weekend for FOX, so that means he’s been studying all things Bucs meeting with players and coaches. [read more]

Greg Schiano weighs in

The leader of the New Schiano Order worked on Christmas Day honing the Bucs-Saints gameplan, but he didn’t settle on a starting left guard for Sunday.

Gabe Carimi, Carl Nicks, Ted Larsen, Jeremy Zuttah and Jamon Meredith have all gotten the call there this season. [read more]

King demands higher standards

What would the Christmas season be without hearing from former Bucs quarterback Shaun King?

King, one of three quarterbacks to lead the Bucs to the NFC title game, offered many passionate takes this morning, including a call for fans to wake up and start being pessimistic. [read more]

Bradenton Herald columnist Alan Dell threw a few punches to the gut of Greg Schiano this morning.

Dell not only calls for the swift firing of Schiano, he makes a case that Schiano is worse than the ol’ ball coach, Raheem Morris. [read more]

There’s no truth to the rumor Da’Quan Bowers recently injured his knee fervently praying for the double-digit sack season Greg Schiano expected of him, a March decree that was no Nostradamus moment.

Today, Bowers, who has one sack in 2013, was placed on injured reserve for the season finale. [read more]

Change around Mike Glennon? Or a change of QB?

In this CBSSports.com video preview of the Bucs-Saints game Sunday, NFL insider Pat Kirwan, the former Jets personnel chief and linebackers coach, seems stunned that Greg Schiano’s job might be in jeopardy. Kirwan reveals he’s heard new intelligence this week that blindsided him.

Kirwan endorsed a Schiano return, though he wasn’t robust about it. [read more]

Lavonte David leads one of the NFL’s best red zone defenses.

There’s not much to be proud of for Bucs fans this year outside of some superb individual performances.

But the red zone defense is a major source of Bucs pride.

After 15 games, the Bucs rank sixth in the NFL in red zone defense. Tampa Bay has allowed an average of 4.42 points every time an opposing offense gets into the red zone.

And it isn’t just the red zone. When opponents get a series of downs inside the Bucs-10,  they’re not scoring many touchdowns. The Bucs have allowed the second-fewest average points per visit inside the 10 — 4.5 points. Their goal-line stand that led to a forced fumble kept the game close in St. Louis on Sunday.

The defense really hasn’t been the problem this season. It’s been the NFL’s worst offense. Yeah, the ones wearing pewter and red. This annoys Joe more than warm beer.

Film junkies weigh in

Joe knows there is a push for NFL types to name Bucs linebacker Lavonte David as the defensive player of the year. He certainly is the Bucs defensive player of the year, but the stain of that stupid penalty in the media capital of the world in Week 1 likely has branded David for the foreseeable future. Unfair, yes. But that’s how the cookie crumbles.

Gerald McCoy is now considered one of the elite defensive tackles in the game. So he sure is a Pro Bowl player. [read more]

Left guard Jamon Meredith was benched in the second quarter Sunday.

Bucs commander Greg Schiano isn’t exactly doing jumping jacks over the play of his offensive line.

Watching Bobby Rainey run time after time after time into a wall Sunday was enough for Joe to jump off the ledge of the Ed Jones dome. Granted, the Rams get paid, too, and they did their job but it wasn’t like there were holes for Rainey to run through.

Schiano detailed woes of the offensive line Monday, as Joe documented, but Schiano also explained the formula to fix them. [read more]

Joe makes the case

The case against Greg Schiano has its opening argument rooted in December 2012.

The 6-6 Bucs, alive in the playoff hunt, were home against the struggling 3-9 Eagles led by rookie quarterback Nick Foles. [read more]

Joe makes the case

Joe just laughs when Bucs fans demand consistency from their team. That’s a true and a noble goal. Consistent winner. It’s not like it can’t be done in the NFL; it’s not like the Bucs have never done that. Joe can’t argue with wanting if not demanding consistency with victories.

Then, just as quickly as Bucs fans scream consistency, they want to run Bucs commander Greg Schiano out of town right now. [read more]
