Bucs OC Dave Canales.

We’ve heard this a lot from Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales, that the Bucs run game will take time for the players to learn the nuances of his offense. That there is no shortcut. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Some very interesting details here on how the Bills owned the Bucs for about three quarters in last Thursday’s Bucs loss. [read more]

Mixed messaging, results.

What are the Bucs to do? [read more]

Not shopping Mike Evans.

Well, as Joe types this here post, it is 68 minutes before the trade deadline (and still no running back). But Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht made one thing clear this morning. [read more]

Titans RB Derrick Henry.

Are the Bucs serious about making a playoff run, and perhaps winning a game or two (or more?) in the postseason? Joe will know the answer to that question by late this afternoon. [read more]

Smelly last three games.

Joe remembers a few weeks ago someone brought up to Bucs coach Todd Bowles that Ryan Neal isn’t playing all that great. [read more]

Buds coach Todd Bowles

This here Joe has maintained on the “Ira Kaufman Podcast” that the Bucs defense is not the problem with the team. For the most part, the Bucs defense is holding opponents to scores that should not be insurmountable for a decent NFL offense. [read more]

Cornerback Carlton Davis.

A not-so-nice distraction from Devin White’s 14-game sackless streak is Jamel Dean’s 20-game run without an interception — while fellow cornerback Carlton Davis hasn’t grabbed a pick in his last seven games. [read more]
