Atlanta coach Artie Smith.

Normally, Joe would be outraged by the following stats. Not today. (more…)

Mike Evans is nothing but consistent. And it’s that consistency that put him in Canton. (more…)

Game 13

Bucs (5-7) at Dixie Chicks (6-6) 

Kickoff: 1 p.m.

TV: CBS (WTSP-TV Channel 10 locally) with Spero Dedes, Adam Archuleta and Aditi Kinkhabwala.

Documenting coverage.

So what the hell is going on with Chris Godwin? A graphic that outlines his play may offer a window. (more…)

Failed Bucs OC Byron Leftwich.

Last year’s Bucs-Steelers game in October completely turned Joe off on former Bucs offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich. (more…)

Free football.

(more…)

“Big fella, you need to have a talk with these young Bucs.”

Not even Ian Beckles can tolerate it any longer. (more…)

Lavonte David is back. But not so with Devin White. (more…)

Blitzes not getting to QB enough.

Linebacker J.J. Russell.

Bucs defensive line coach Kacy Rodgers has been coaching in the NFL for 20 seasons. He’s seen a lot. (more…)

Dissed?

Bucs fans learned this week that words matter a lot at the Godwin household, and Joe suspects a phrase dropped by a coach yesterday at One Buc Palace hit home in a very unpleasant manner. (more…)

Addressing Chris Godwin touches.

Look, Joe likes Bucs offensive coordinator Dave Canales. Really good dude. And he’s a sneaky good quarterback coach. (more…)
