“All Hands On Deck”
July 24th, 2024Joe remembers when Lovie Smith rolled out a new rallying slogan and t-shirts to his team about 10 years ago and players seemed to think he was clueless.
It was “California Dreamin’.” The idea was that the Super Bowl was to be played in California that season, so guys should be fantasizing about getting there. That was almost as bad as the Siege The Day marketing slogan that once infested the Bucs’ business office.
California Dreamin also was the title of a popular 1960s song that, Joe suspects, Lovie thought players might know.
Fast forward to the Dirk Koetter era, and the Bucs had training camp shirts that read “Discipline Driven.”
At today’s first day of training camp, Joe saw Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht wearing a new shirt that appears to carry the 2024 mantra, “All Hands On Deck.” (See photo above.)
Joe suspects the line ties to Todd Bowles stressing that he needs contributions from every player, much like he got from double-digit rookies last season.
Regardless, Joe is always intrigued by the messaging being pumped through One Buc Palace.

I’m not big on slogans and it seems they backfire more than they work. I guess pound the rock worked but maybe it is more that the day when slogans had an effect is past.

Not suprising, turf toe is still kicking Deion Sanders’ butt and he hasn’t played a down in like 17-19 years

Hopefully Hainsey is sent to do “Sweepers” on game day

None were that bad, not even “Siege the Day!” except the California Dreamin’ That was horrible. So much for one game at a time

I told the AI to come up with some slogans — this is what it created on its own…
1. “Unleash the Buccaneers”
2. “Dominate the Seas”
3. “All Hands on Deck”
4. “Relentless Pursuit”
5. “Conquer the Season”
What’s the odds?

The worst one was βNo Fly Zoneβ after Dominik traded for Revis to play alongside guys in the secondary we signed off the street.
Always thought a team sea shanty would be cool, like a song to sing after we beat someone something for the players and fans to sing after victories
