Questioning Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht on an offensive line evaluation is the equivalent of doubting Rondé Barber’s knowledge of defensive back play.

Yeah, nobody’s perfect, but these aren’t people to doubt in their area of expertise. (more…)

Joe heard the following and immediately became obsessed with receiver Davante Adams having another 1,000-yard season for his new team, the Los Angeles Rams. (more…)

Calijah Kancey means business.

So Calijah Kancey led the Bucs with 7 1/2 sacks last season in just 12 games. That’s a beastly total for a defensive tackle, and Kancey had more tackles for loss and quarterback hits than Vita Vea, despite playing in four fewer games. (more…)

Bucs OC Josh Grizzard.

Joe tends to give a lot of credibility to those who have been there, done that. (more…)

Arrow pointing up. Coaches and executives survey released.

Baker Mayfield, in the eyes of NFL coaches and suits, improved last year. (more…)

Made an impression.

So former NFL offensive lineman and current NFL Network talking head Brian Baldinger has been posting highlights on his Twitter account of plays and players that made an impact in the first week of worthless preseason games. (more…)

Welcome to your Morning Cup of Joe, an eye-opener to help Joe’s readers ease into their busy workday with a few football links, wacky news and a pleasant distraction. (more…)

Why sign a RB?

Joe’s antennae are up. (more…)

Mike Evans

Mike Evans seems to know something a lot of fans don’t. And he let a squirt of the toothpaste out of the tube. (more…)

A delicious plate of Hooters wings and their great salads, sandwiches and shrimp make for a heck of a lunch or dinner! Snow crab, too! Get it done! Locations are across the Bay area and online ordering is always easy from Joe’s great friends.

New Bucs quarterback Teddy Bridgewater.

Preseason depth charts are rarely worth the digital space they occupy, or they paper they’re printed on. (more…)

Antoine Winfield, Jr.

Joe tries to shove away all thoughts of Mike Evans and Lavonte David no longer suiting up for the Bucs. (more…)

Tez Johnson returned to practice. (Photo from an earlier practice.)

Today was technically the final practice of 2025 training camp at One Buc Palace. (more…)

Tough times for Lavonte David.

One of the mindblowing lines delivered during the dark side of Bucs history came in January of 2019. (more…)

Who will start on Saturday?

Last week Bucs coach Todd Bowles stated starters would get the night off in their first worthless preseason game against the mighty Titans. (more…)

Mid-practice scolding?

Roughly halfway through practice this morning, Joe thought the Bucs called the practice way early. All players, whether from the defensive sideline or the offense gathered behind the quarterback, came forward to the middle of the field. (more…)

Happy moment for the Bucs offense. Starting tight end Cade Otton was back on the practice field today, his first practice this month. Otton had a hamstring injury.

Joe sure hopes all the hamstring issues the Bucs have now are two-weekers like Otton’s.

Official good news on running back Rachaad White today.

Sage Ira Kaufman previously shared the positive report on his Sunday podcast: Rachaad White’s groin injury is not serious. Today, head coach coach Todd Bowles said White is “day-to-day.”

Joe is exhaling. White scored nine touchdowns last seasons and ranked in the top-five in the NFL in catch percentage. That’s a lot to replace.
