Room to improve, Tristan Wirfs says.

Sure, NFL offensive linemen enjoy jousting with pass rushers when their quarterback steps back into the pocket. [read more]

Free football.

Hot start.

Despite what some may determine, Joe is not an anti-stats guy. Stats are nothing more than information. When exactly is information bad? [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

The Bucs were on a roll before the bye. Not only have they won three of their first four games, but the Bucs rolled the slimy Saints in their own voodoo-laced crib (Joe likes to call it “Lincoln’s Tomb” because the place is dark like Lincoln’s Tomb and given its location, maybe just as haunted). [read more]

The Kancey Man can.

You wanted it, you got it. Calijah Kancey is on his way. [read more]

Lavonte David

Interesting words from veteran linebacker Lavonte David on whether rookie defensive tackle Calijah Kancey can get on the field and play Sunday, Creamsicle Day against the Lions. [read more]

Bucs OC Dave Canales.

The Bucs haven’t been greased lightning in the first quarter this season. In fact, the Bucs are entering their fifth game still looking to score their first touchdown in an opening quarter. [read more]

Lions edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson.

On paper, the more Joe looks at this game with the Lions on Creamsicle Day come Sunday, the more nervous Joe gets. [read more]

Hot commodity?

It’s never too early to look at free agency. At least, that’s what FOX Sports thinks. [read more]

Get ready.

It’s just a matter of time, Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales said. It’s coming. Just wait. [read more]

The bye week appears to have worked its magic.

Various banged up Buccaneers have make it through a full practice for consecutive days, including battered No. 2 cornerback Jamel Dean (neck/shoulder).

Only one player missed practice today, and that was Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett, who was listed out with an “illness.”

Mike Evans (hamstring) tested himself today and was “limited” in practice after sitting out on Wednesday.

That’s about as healthy as a team will ever be in mid-October.

Respecting the Lions.

We all know Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales wants the Bucs offense to look like Seattle’s, from whence he came. The Seahawks have always had a productive run game to go along with a dangerous passing attack. [read more]

Yeah, the Lions are not an iconic NFL franchise.

In fact, they’re the opposite. [read more]

Story behind the story.

Want to know all about how Baker Mayfield became your Bucs quarterback? Well, here is a very deep dive into the backstory of how Mayfield got here and won the starting job. [read more]

Buccaneers savior inside linebacker Devin White.

What has happened to the run defense? [read more]

Being smart.

Everyone loves to see a quarterback bust his tail and fight for a first down to keep a possession rolling and the chains moving. [read more]

Improvement.

When one man can’t get on the field, it’s an opportunity for another man to shine. [read more]
