The PFF tribe speaks.

This had Joe shaking his head, wondering if someone spiked his mug of Community coffee. [read more]

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Old Bucs fans spent a lot of years booing former Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb, the five-time Pro Bowler who twice led blowouts of Tampa Bay in the playoffs. [read more]

Explains his off game.

Yes, the Bucs already are about 13 1/2 miles over the 2023 salary cap (about $50-plus million) and need to shave salaries in a matter of weeks. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

Joe has no earthly idea what to make of Todd Bowles’ job security. [read more]

Found a way.

Joe wrote last night how Joe Tyron-Shoyinka hasn’t lived up to his first-round draft selection status. He had as many sacks (four) last season as he did in his rookie season. [read more]

Ex-NFLer thinking of Bucs ballers.

Former Cowboys defensive end and current talking head on BSPN Marcus Spears had direct words for Bucs shot-callers last week. [read more]

Questions.

Well, this is certainly one way to look at things. [read more]

“Mr. Glazer. Nobody plays us. Nobody.”

Interesting chatter out of Seattle from a former quarterback who says he knows new Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales quite well. [read more]

Titans QB Ryan Tannehill.

Face it, folks. The NFL world is not sold on Kyle Trask starting for your Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2023. [read more]

Seattle QB Geno Smith.

The Bucs need a quarterback. Joe believes we can all agree unless you are a family member or close friend of Kyle Trask. [read more]

Thin ice?

It seems the Bucs are between a rock and a hard place, the very worst position to be in. [read more]

“Mr. Glazer, I think we have a leak.”

A dozen NFL quarterbacks officially have salaries at $30 million or more for the 2023 season. [read more]

Not everyone sees Todd Bowles as Dead Coach Walking. Some see a beast of a leader whose methods succeeded on the grandest stage. [read more]

Flashes.

It’s sort of unfair to judge a draft class/rookie class by one season. [read more]
