Interim coach explains.

Last night famed JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman Twittered that he spoke with Bucs Super Bowl-winning coach Bucco Bruce Arians who had tested positive for the COVID, and Ira reported Arians was dealing with minor symptoms.

Sounded more like a cold than the flu to Joe. [read more]

Ouch!

Interim Bucs head coach Harold Goodwin just revealed that Antonio Brown “might have tweaked” his injured ankle, and that’s why he has missed practice time this week after lighting up the Panthers on Sunday in his triumphant return from injury and a three-game suspension.

Goodwin said Brown “has a chance” to play Sunday against the Jets.

The signs, and more importantly, the actions, of the Bucs and Mike Evans seem to draw a picture that Evans will play against the Jets Sunday. [read more]

Bitter?

Todd Bowles’ career is a tale of a many stories. [read more]

The interior of the Bucs’ defensive line was dominant last Sunday and that was without one of its cornerstone performers.

Defensive tackle Rakeem Nuñez-Roches was on the COVID list for that game but he’s officially back today, per the Bucs.

Man, Mike Evans is back and now Nacho. Joe is feeling playoff-ready!

No more COVID?

Well, this is a strong ray of sunshine on the second-last day of 2021.

Bucs stud receiver Mike Evans is off the dreaded COVID list. How so? Well, NBC Sports Edge reported Evans practiced today.

If Evans is able to play Sunday, he will enter the game 101 receiving yards short of his eighth-consecutive 1,000-yard receiving season. Hitting that mark would extend his NFL record to eight seasons.

Last year, Evans broke the tie he was in with Randy Moss for most consecutive 1,000-yard seasons to begin a career.

It’s about disrespect.
