An NFL analyst seems to think the best way to defend the Texans is to let Houston QB Ryan Mallett throw early and often.

A common theme among defensive coordinators is that they want to turn an offense into a one-dimensional force.

That way, it is predictable.

But when you turn an offense into a one-trick pony, and that pony really has no tricks, you’ve shut down an offense. (more…)

BSPN impressed with Jameis last week.

Joe remembers talking with a trusted Bucs source over the summer and mentioning that if America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston, could be among the top-third tier of quarterbacks in the NFL, the Bucs would come out bandits.

Said Bucs type just smiled and replied, “Oh, home run!” (more…)

Trent Dilfer talks about offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter and Jameis Winston

Yes, Tampa Bay went all turtle late in the game against the Saints.

But the Bucs really weren’t playing scared of Jameis Winston and what he might do with the ball, says former Bucs and Super Bowl quarterback Trent Dilfer. (more…)

It’s Luke Stocker time!

Ugh!

It’s back to the cold tub/hot tub/crying tub for second-year tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. (more…)

Young, talented players often are unpredictable, and second-year tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins has been consistently inconsistent since arriving in Tampa.

That was on display big time Sunday in New Orleans. (more…)

Freeman’s new coach has ties to Lovie Smith and Greg Schiano

Joe must commend former Bucs franchise quarterback leaky, sleepy Josh Freeman.

The guy is stopping at nothing to resurrect his career. (more…)

Listening to Lovie Smith last night on the Buccaneers Radio Network, Joe sensed Lovie was especially happy that his defense finally displayed the identity he craves for it. (more…)

Lovie Smith seems to believe rookies G Ali Marpet (above) and LT Donovan Smith are progressing nicely.

Yes, the Bucs are banking on three rookies to lead the way offensively.

It’s rare to succeed with so many rookies, one of which includes America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

Those listening closely to the Bucs-Saints television broadcast heard Ronde Barber take an early shot at Johnthan Banks. (more…)

Jacquies Smith already has four sacks, which leads the NFL. (Photo courtesy of Buccaneers.com.)

Yesterday, Joe had to do a double-take. Rub his eyes and blink.

It couldn’t be true, could it? Is this some type of Bourbon Street hangover? Joe looked at the top sack men in the NFL and atop the list sat a Buccaneer. (more…)

Bucs fans were giddy about how the pewter pirates seemingly rose from the dead and punked Drew Brees in his own crib.

It was a nailbiting, exhilarating win, and Bucs fans are drinking in the good vibes. (more…)

Jameis’ dad is sitting on a fashion trend setter.

And the owner of the shirt is none other than Jaboo, Sr., the father of America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. (more…)

In the first week of the season, John Breech of CBS Sports rightly gave the Bucs an “F” grade for their pathetic performance against the Titans.

My, how much a difference a week makes. (more…)

A rarely heard theme from the 2014 version of Lovie Smith was accentuated by the head coach tonight.

(more…)

A BSPN talking head mocks the anti-Jameis crowd.

Joe discussed yesterday the crowd that hates America’s Quarterback, Bucs signal-caller Jameis Winston. Joe has dubbed these knuckledraggers the “anti-Jameis blowhards.”

Yesterday, Jameis shut up all of these blowhards save the stubborn, die-hard types. (more…)

Joe does not subscribe to the pound-your-chest macho belief that football players must be wild beasts eager to gouge their opponents’ eyes out and insult their mamas. (more…)

Gerald McCoy talks about what will make the Bucs relevant in December

Remember how Buccaneers officials talked a lot this offseason about all those close games the team played in 2014, all those tight losses?

Gerald McCoy talked about them today. (more…)

Another great promotion and amazing prizes by Joe’s friends at Original Hooters. Fantasy football like you’ve never played before.

Stat geeks will point to numbers that show America’s Quarterback is having a better year than a future Hall of Famer.

Now Joe has made no bones over the fact he thinks quarterback ratings are the biggest pile of feces this side of a southern Illinois Heifer pasture.

Any hatched stat that claims David Garrard was a better quarterback than Roger Staubach should be banned from public discourse as a simple matter of national security. (more…)

Saints wide receiver Willie Snead didn’t know what hit him

There were a lot of standout plays by the Bucs yesterday, but if Joe were forced to pick just one, it would go to the guy with the iron fist, the Larry Holmes uppercut. (more…)
