Mike Evans

No, Joe doesn’t expect the Bucs to make a Super Bowl run. It would be loads of fun, but nah, can’t go there in June. [read more]

#Fail

Somehow, sadly, this did not surprise Joe at all. [read more]

No mere mortal QB.

Man, Joe is starting to think Bill Belicheat held Tom Brady back. [read more]

Bucs RB Rachaad White.

This is just ridiculous. [read more]

Buccaneers linebacker Devin White may not be all smiles with team officials these days after requesting a trade and not practicing with the team this spring.

However, White continues to work on and off the field. [read more]

To help fix the Buccaneers’ running game, Tampa Bay added a veteran running back who scampered for 245 yards and two touchdowns last season.

Ironically, the Vikings, the Bucs’ opening day opponent, will be passing the torch from Dalvin Cook to a running back who had 283 yards and five touchdowns last season. [read more]

Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett.

Joe likes how former NFL players and coaches now in analyst roles, guys who actually watch Bucs games, are completely lost when it comes to evaluating this season’s Tampa Bay team. [read more]

Nothing hacked Tom Brady off more than coming up short on the football field.

He was disappointed, devastated and distraught after every setback, knowing he had to wait a week before an opportunity for retribution. If losing was No. 1 on his must-to-avoid list, taking a sack ranked a close second.

Clean looks were the norm.

Whether he was sailing a ball deliberately out of bounds or firing one into the ground, Brady was a master at frustrating the league’s premier pass rushers. And that knack for avoiding the sack will prove challenging for his successor this fall. [read more]

Depressing numbers.

If you thought the Bucs dialed back the offense last year and went more conservative (safe?) than in the previous six seasons, your eyes did not deceive you. [read more]

Surprising (telling?) numbers.

Joe is eager to find out if Chris Godwin is reborn with new offensive coordinator Dave Canales. [read more]

Better without Tom Brady?

Some Bucs fans confess that no Tom Brady this year could end Mike Evans’ NFL-record, career-opening streak of consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. [read more]

Not his fault. At all.

Joe understands some fans like to throw shade on Tom Brady’s play last season. No clue why or what the motivation is. [read more]

Antonio Brown did a wild and confusing job explaning why he simultaneously was a me-first guy but still a team player during the Buccaneers’ 2021 season — the one in which he famously quit during the Week 17 Bucs-Jets game. [read more]

Stop trying to pigeonhole the Buccaneers offense.

Though he never would say it that way, that was sort of the message from new Buccaneers offensive coordinator David Canales last week. [read more]

“TB, I’ve got bills to pay. Can I be in your next dumb movie?”

Now this almost surprised Joe. When is the last time a Bucs running back was targeted in the passing game this often? [read more]

New start to career.

One big mystery of this offseason is the Bucs really didn’t add any running back of significance to bolster the league’s worst rushing attack. [read more]

Bucs coach Todd Bowles.

By the end of November, Bucs fans should know if the Bucs are a contender, a poser or if Bucs coach Todd Bowles is in trouble. [read more]
