Todd Bowles

One reason Joe enjoys reading Warren Sharp and the stats his elves dig up is because of the gems they unearth. [read more]

Ready to carry bigger load.

It took a long, long while, but the Bucs’ running game finally was kick-started in Munich. [read more]

Value of Chris Godwin.

Yesterday was the first time Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich spoke to the local pen and mic club since the Bucs offense finally broke out and had a strong game in a win over the Seahawks in Munich. [read more]

Bucs OC Bryon Leftwich.

So Joe is still trying to figure out if the best game the Bucs have played offensively right before the bye, over Seattle in Munich, was a fluke or a sign of things to come. [read more]

Talks return.

Bucs defensive back Logan Ryan was in the Bucs’ locker room yesterday — about a week and a half after he Twittered in the hours after the Bucs beat the Seahawks that he would return “soon.” [read more]

Math time, Julio.

Joe loves when Tom Brady starts fast-talking.

As a rule, that’s when he’s being more transparent and candid. [read more]

Todd Bowles

The must-watch Todd Bowles accountability speech to the team is in the video below.

Presumably it was given a few days prior to the Week 9 Rams game, which makes it more interesting. [read more]

Focused on now.

When Tom Brady played with the Belicheats, some seasons began rather blah and then the next thing you know the Belicheats were in the Super Bowl. [read more]

Can he take advantage?

Look, the Bucs seemed like they were the old Bucs in Munich. Running and throwing with success. [read more]

Joe sincerely wishes all readers (and the haters addicted to this site) all the best today on one of Joe’s favorite holidays. [read more]

Bucs ILB Devin White.

Lavonte David

As a face of The Lost Decade of Buccaneers football, Lavonte David knows the years of pain he endured.

And he’s unafraid to share it with teammates. [read more]

Gigantic men and foot injuries are a terrible mix.

And this one feels worse given the recent clarification of Vita Vea’s weight. [read more]

Leonard “Lombardi Lenny” Fournette took a couple of losses against the Seahawks 10 days ago despite the Buccaneers big win. [read more]

Head coach Todd Bowles keeps telling media — again today — that he’s not getting a definitive internal medical update on center Ryan Jensen’s blown knee.

Joe doesn’t buy it, but regardless, Jensen hasn’t practiced since the late-July disaster.

Joe asked Bowles today about Jensen’s potential return this season and Bowles threw a bunch of cold water on it.

“We expect to go without him,” Bowles said.

So there you go. It’s Robert Hainsey or bust … for now.
