A little light was shed into the secret world of the Buccaneers’ personnel decisions this week. (more…)

24-HOUR POLL ENDS 3 P.M. Wednesday – It’s time for the 24-hour Lovie Smith confidence poll. Here are last week’s results. Joe will compare and contrast on Wednesday night, including working in last year’s data.

Former Bucs commander Greg Schiano wasn’t as crazy as some would have you believe.

Joe remembers the Bucs under former commander Greg Schiano, almost in a fit of desperation, went radical because they were so frustrated their front four couldn’t breathe on a quarterback. (more…)

Has a pattern developed among Jameis’ picks? (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

No quarterback was hotter in the NFL than America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. He had gone five straight games without throwing a pick. That’s even impressive for Tom Brady, much less a 21-year old rookie. (more…)

Dallass partisans are screaming foul on the game-winning run by Jameis.

Let’s just say the Bucs should not be scared of the Beagles in Philadelphia on Sunday.

The Bucs gave away a game against Redskins on the road. They should have beat the Giants but for tons of dropped passes. And of course, the Bucs beat the Cowpokes, so the big, bad NFC East doesn’t look so menacing now, does it? (more…)

America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, landed with the Bucs as an NFL-ready prospect, but that doesn’t mean he’s a finished product.

And that’s part of what is so exciting about the 21-year-old Tampa Bay leader. (more…)

Swearinger out. DE signing is imminent.

The axe keeps swinging at One Buc Palace. The big head it chopped today is safety D.J. Swearinger, an offseason waiver claim the Bucs were excited about for many weeks. (more…)

There are a couple things very out of character in a video released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. (more…)

Mauling and balling

Joe is so damn impressed by how Evan Smith has turned around his attitude and his play.

It’s pretty damn stunning. The guy has been money filling in for 1 1/2 games for Ali Marpet at right guard. (more…)

The stat geeks may not be aroused by Lavonte David’s solid game against the Cowboys, but those with much deeper knowledge see perfection. (more…)

Still targeted repeatedly.

Joe has noticed some fans squirming in their seats wondering why America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, has targeted receiver Mike Evans so much. (more…)

There were plenty of fans laughing at Joe last week, when before the Cowboys game, Joe wrote all about how the Bucs’ run defense was the best in the NFC — anchored by Gerald McCoy and bolstered by space-eating Akeem Spence emerging as a starter. (more…)

Lovie Smith declared at his Monday news conference that America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, is not a rookie any longer.

The head coach explained himself during his evening radio show. (more…)

Tees off on Gerald McCoy.

Yesterday, Bucs fans from near and far were basking in the glory of Victory Monday. Given the fact it happened against the Cowpokes, it made the win all that much sweeter. (more…)

Bucs center talks Jameis in game-winning drive.

Center Joe Hawley talked to Joe right after the passionate postgame sermon America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, gave his teammates — after his touchdown run gave the Bucs their fourth win of the season Sunday. (more…)

Joe noticed fantastic reaction on both Twitter and on this here corner of the Interwebs for the video of Jameis Winston, America’s Quarterback, pumping up his teammates in the locker room after the Bucs beat the Cowpokes Sunday. (more…)

My way.

Bucs defensive play caller and head coach Lovie Smith believes in his defense more than Joe believes beautiful blonde women should be afforded free parking and liquor at all area beaches and bars. (more…)

Jameis goes to bat for his crop of receivers. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

Joe wonders how much more America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, would have developed during this rookie year of his — if he had his top receivers available each game. (more…)

“Sanchize” expected to start against the Bucs next Sunday.

No, no, no. Joe promises we will wallow in the warm waters of victory through tomorrow. But news has surfaced that impacts the Bucs a great deal, as they battle to stay alive for a wild card berth. (more…)

An Xs and Os guru weighs in, and Sterling Moore talks to Joe.

The Bucs’ new dedicated lockdown cornerback, Sterling Moore, arrived in Tampa as a nickel corner telling everyone who would listen that he shouldn’t be pigeonholed and was in the hunt for a starting outside corner job.

Finally, and thankfully, Lovie Smith took him seriously. (more…)
