Early impressions.

Joe has noticed one thing about rookie linebacker SirVocea Dennis: He makes plays. [read more]

Hold-in or held out?

So yeah, disgruntled Bucs linebacker Devin White showed up yesterday for mandatory minicamp. That’s all he did. Showed up.

White didn’t practice. He stood on the sidelines and joked with teammates. It almost seemed like a coordinated thing. [read more]

Todd Bowles

Man, what irony for CBSSports.com to publish a feature on NFL coaches sitting on the proverbial hot seat just as their analysts team arrived at One Buc Palace to interview Todd Bowles and others. [read more]

Baker Mayfield

So a 12-year NFL general manager was at One Buc Palace today watching practice and scoring access with important Buccaneers and came away with a strong impression. [read more]

Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield prepare for position drills as Bucs OC Dave Canales (far right) looks on.

The Bucs offense looked uneven today, some good, some bad. Bucs quarterback Baker Mayfield hinted one reason the offense wasn’t smooth was this was the first time the defense had all starters at practice, sans Devin White and Shaq Barrett who watched from the sidelines. [read more]

GM Jason Licht.

Shaun King is no Peter King. [read more]

Sneaky offense.

Joe gets this question all the time. Of course, there won’t be an answer until a couple of real NFL games are played. [read more]

New Bucs guard Matt Feiler, a veteran of 75 NFL starts, including playoffs.

The Bucs were not good at left guard last season and believe they have an upgrade firmly in place. [read more]

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

Competiting quarterback Kyle Trask is in full student mode. [read more]

UPDATED 11:54: Buccaneers savior linebacker Devin White joined Shaq Barrett and Russell Gage on the sidelines today as the team opened its three-day mandatory minicamp. [read more]

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

One national NFL columnist doesn’t believe the Bucs are “half-tanking.” [read more]

Last chance.

Man, most national NFL stenographers are absolutely killing either Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht for signing Baker Mayfield, or just killing Mayfield. [read more]

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

Mandatory minicamp starts today. It’s a three-day function before Bucs players scatter across the country and likely won’t be seen until training camp opens next month. [read more]

New offseason honor?

Joe thinks Bucky Brooks is pretty accurate with this. [read more]

First-round draft pick Calijah Kancey

Joe watched this 14-minute film breakdown and got even more hungry for opening day. [read more]

Dalvin Cook

This was a subject over the weekend on the Ira Kaufman Podcast, but Joe held off writing about it here to see what would happen on the free agent market today. [read more]

A window into playcaller Dave Canales’ offense has opened.

A very diverse and unpredictable offense seems to be on its way. [read more]

Bucs hoping someday to wear the creamsicles for a throwback day.

This will fire up those who care what the Bucs wear.

A version of the Buccaneers orange creamsicle-colored uniforms will return to The Licht House for one game on Oct. 15 against the Lions. Joe likes how the Bucs are playing against a former rival in the old NFC Central division (where they were before moving to the NFC South).

The Bucs are calling it more than just a throwback uniform day. Apparently, there will be a “Creamsicle gameday experience.”

Joe hopes that includes a “W.”

Bucs QB Kyle Trask.

This blew Joe away yesterday. Joe thought maybe it was due to polishing off one too many cans of Bromosa. [read more]
