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]

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.”
