Jameis Hits The Practice Field On Friday
May 4th, 2015
How pumped up is Joe?
Joe already is counting the hours until the start of Bucs rookie minicamp.
That starts Friday, when Jameis Winston will be on the practice field slinging footballs around for the first time in a Buccaneers uniform.
And Winston won’t just be tossing the rock around with a bunch of tryout players, he’ll be firing balls at new rookie receivers Kenny Bell (fifth round) and Kaelin Clay (sixth round.)
This will be a lot more fun that last year’s minicamp, when noodle-armed Brett Smith out of Wyoming was the gunslinger-in-chief.
Remember, Joe will bring you all the need-to-know nuggets, and Joe’s got a special surprise in store.

Can’t wait Mr. Joe.
Just can’t wait.
May 4th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
Oooh I like surprises.
May 4th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
I hope Joe bring an extra pair of shorts, just in case he gets too excited!
May 4th, 2015 at 4:22 pm
Let me guess? You’re having Winston’s love child!
tickrdr

I don’t understand why people are so excited about JW. All he might do is make the Bucs nationally relevant again and cool again and sell tickets and put us on MNF and perhaps win games and take us to the playoffs and beyond. Just don’t get it. 😉
May 4th, 2015 at 4:28 pm
Ohhhh. I love surprisers!
Let me take A guess! Joe is going to apologize too the Realist and place Adrian Clayborn on the list of the top 20 worst Bucs of the last 10 years!

Hahahaha, awesome post!!!

Lets dooooo it
May 4th, 2015 at 4:58 pm
Haven’t been on here since we drafted Jameis.
I’d just like to say, sorry to all the MM fans, and welcome to Tampa, Mr. JAMEIS WINSTON!!!!
May 4th, 2015 at 5:05 pm
Finally a real QB in Tampa. Just stay away from Freeman’s favorite nightly hotspots.
May 4th, 2015 at 5:06 pm
@ Hawaiian Buc
How about the I-train……good pick for us?
May 4th, 2015 at 5:06 pm
Lets hope Donovan Smith’s big toe is OK…..
May 4th, 2015 at 5:07 pm
I’d like to say thanks to all the Mariota fans who jumped off the Bucs bandwagon. My cousin texted me about going to the opener. With so many of you jumping off and heading to Miami/Jax/Tenn it really makes it easier to get tickets.
May 4th, 2015 at 5:09 pm
@Maze pretty safe bet that Winston and Freeman don’t hang out in the same clubs.
May 4th, 2015 at 5:17 pm
Somebody better be working on that indoor practice facility- I mean pronto!
It’s going to be exciting for , I dunno, the next decade or so!
Happy days are here again
May 4th, 2015 at 5:17 pm
Best Buc QB to wear 3 –
And he hasn’t taken a snap yet!!!!!!
It’s the Winston era Now!!!
May 4th, 2015 at 5:22 pm
Winston doesn’t need an indoor facility…..Joe will happily mirror his every movment holding an umbrella over Jameis head
May 4th, 2015 at 5:23 pm
Do you think we will ever find out if he was told #5 was not an option due to (Josh Freeman)marketing reasons?
Is it a foregone conclusion that La’el Collins will sign with the Saints if he is cleared?
May 4th, 2015 at 5:24 pm
Joe in a #3 Winston jersey won’t be a surprise.
May 4th, 2015 at 5:28 pm
@TampabayBucFan,
I wrote about him in his article. I think he’s got a shot to make the team.

Ha. Good one.

Winston said it was his first number. He just wanted to go back to it, fresh start/new beginning.

@Stranglassman
Actually, if I were Collins….screw the Saints….my home team wouldn’t even risk a 7th round pick on me…..I’d actually be more motivated to play for a division opponent.
May 4th, 2015 at 6:12 pm
I know the story he told everyone but I just felt like they said if you couldn’t wear 5 what’s your next choice. Maybe I’m over thinking it but I can see why for marketing purposes they would ask him to choose another one.
The saints would have had to risk a 3rd rounder on Collins if they wanted him to sign. But yea I can see him being disappointed the Saints didn’t pick him. Probably best for him to get out of that area either way.
May 4th, 2015 at 6:29 pm
So Excited! This will be an exciting season! I think that even when we loose a game this year we shouldn’t look like a total joke of a team. Going to be fun to see Winston and this new team with Koetter as OC and the D in it’s 2nd year with a lot more holes filled with better talent ( even if some struggle this season). GO BUCS!!!
May 4th, 2015 at 6:38 pm
Joe’s surprise is the unveiling on his Winston shrine in his bedroom! Can’t wait.

Oh….I thought this place was Winstons Shrine….
May 4th, 2015 at 7:44 pm
I’m excited to get this season going, but can we at least tell the other teams in our division that it won’t start till November. I don’t want them having an unfair advantage two years in a row!! Lol
May 4th, 2015 at 7:59 pm
Saints have two good young OTs under contract and then they spent a 1st on Andrus Peat. It would be pretty hard to convince Collins that he would have a legit chance to come in and compete for a job…at least at OT. If he came to Tampa, he would have a legit shot to start this season at either LT or RT or even either of the OG positions. I would think Tampa would be a far more attractive option for Collins.
May 4th, 2015 at 8:14 pm
Can’t wait to hear… “Touch Down Tampa Bay…Winston to Jackson..Fire those Cannons!”
May 4th, 2015 at 8:29 pm
everyone give Joe a break about being excited. It is an exciting time to be a Bucs fan… for a change. After the draft hangover I am pumped pumped pumped! So much promise.
May 4th, 2015 at 8:32 pm
A ‘possible’ effect on Collins could be the same as with Doug Williams. The ‘main’ reason that Doug left Tampa was because Hugh Culverhouse was a cheapskate, but he also said he needed to ‘get away’ after his wife died. His mother was going to take care of his new baby, and he wanted to be closer. Collins may fight the same demons.
May 4th, 2015 at 9:21 pm
Eagerly awaiting the rumblings out of the tennessee/tampa rookie camps. Should be interesting
May 4th, 2015 at 9:46 pm
We CANNOT LOSE vs the Titans!!!!! How embarrassing would that be!!!!!!!
May 4th, 2015 at 9:58 pm
Idk y y’all are so excited, he trew a bunch of int’s in his last game he played and the coach got all over his a__ for acting like a b____ about it. He can’t even go 1 hr after he was drafted to something stupid. I’m hopeing for the best, but w/ all this national attention we’re probably gonna get……. I just hope we don’t look like fools like we always do.I guess I don’t really see where he’s all that great. But I hope I’m wrong.
May 4th, 2015 at 10:02 pm
polk co buc fan…how many INT’s did he throw in his last game?
1.
May 4th, 2015 at 10:09 pm
Well not sure which receiver was behind him but he missed him too. Point is , he make about as many mistakes as he does “NFL” throws.
May 4th, 2015 at 10:16 pm
Look there was a reason why he was touted to go in the top 5 picks. Not because he sucked in his last game…which he didn’t, according to me and many “experts” that watched that game.
I don’t hope you’re wrong, I know your wrong.
