Monster Georgia DT Jordan Davis.

Joe confesses to being mocked out. It sure would help if folks only did one mock draft. What kind of confidence do you have in your mock if you have to change it almost as often as you change your underwear? [read more]

Graybeard.

Former Bucs defensive tackle Booger McFarland recently held court on local sports radio and had several interesting things to say. [read more]

Michigan safety Dax Hill.

Yeah, the late-January loss to the Rams is seared in Joe’s hard drive. Aside from seeing the defense gouged by Matthew Stafford and Cooper Kupp, one element of the cornerback play was galling. [read more]

Texas A&M LG Kenyon Green.

Get Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht talking offensive linemen and the former Nebraska guard for Tom Osbourne gets a big smile on his face. [read more]

Bucs backup QB Kyle Trask.

Ultimatum?

This is just fun stuff. [read more]

Pedigree lauded.

Retired Bucs center and 2021 assistant coach A.Q. Shipley wasn’t just slapping the media and wanting Antonio Brown back on the field during his recent chat on national radio. [read more]

In Bucs’ sights?

Joe understands this won’t be a true shock for those hung up on the defensive line. Those same people can go home tonight and rest comfortably as they squeeze their pillows tight, armed with the knowledge an NFL insider thinks Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht may fulfill their nightly dreams.

“Kyle. grab an oat milk and tell me about this guy.”

When you’re a team all-in for a Super Bowl, your eyes must be wide open for fast-impact in moves. [read more]

Begging for a new edge rusher.

One of Joe’s favorite all-time Bucs made a surprise appearance last night on “Path to the Draft,” seen on NFL Network. [read more]

Please, not at No. 27.

This would be a reckless move and Joe doesn’t think Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht is a reckless man. [read more]

Bucs safety Mike Edwards

Whenever Joe reads or hears someone suggest the Bucs need a safety, Joe shakes his head violently so the ear wax dislodges, or runs to a sink for an eye-cleansing face wash. [read more]

All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs

Beastly Bucs All-Pro right tackle Tristan Wirfs was talking last night.

Bucs GM Jason Licht

This year’s draft crop doesn’t appear to be among the best of this century. And for Bucs general managers who want to trade down, sometimes the war room hotline doesn’t ring. [read more]

Tom Brady with former Bucs center and coach A.Q. Shipley

It’s odd how a Bruce Arians-loving guy caught in the middle of a major controversy jumped on a popular national show and punted an opportunity to explain how his former boss never did the things he’s accused of doing. [read more]
