High praise for Bucs’ offensive line.

While Giants coach Tom Coughlin raved about America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston — “no question,” Coughlin said about Jameis’ improvement in recent weeks — and is positively giddy about the one-two punch of Doug Martin and Charles Sims, Coughlin added the Bucs’ success is obviously about their offensive line.

Sackless George Johnson

Perhaps the biggest disappointment among the new crop of Buccaneers picked this offseason is defensive end. George Johnson, a Bucs trade target who is paid good money.

Jameis Surprised Bucs’ Brass

Friday, November 6th, 2015
Changing the culture.

Changing the culture.

Exhaustive pre-draft research of America’s Quarterback, Jameis Winston, let the Bucs know Jameis was their guy — barring something earth-shattering like the Colts trading Andrew Luck for the No. 1 overall pick.

Tampa Bay believed it finally had that bigger-than-life personality of a quarterback, with talent to match his Magic Johnson-like charisma that this franchise possibly never had enjoyed. (more…)

Joe found good one today, an educational assassination of the Giants’ defense, which the Bucs face Sunday. The best part? It’s on the Giants’ official website. (more…)
