Bucs offense in walkthroughs Monday.

Sad views of the practice fields at One Buc Palace today. First, it was a return to full-blown underwear football. No pads, no “shells.” Just helmets with the Great Gazoo caps. No fans. Deconstruction of the bleachers had begun to the point they looked like aluminum skeletons.

* Baker Mayfield dumps off a pass to the right for Bucky Irving and he doesn’t get much as a gang of Bucs defenders met him at the line.

* Kyle Trask throws to Mike Evans along the right sideline and Evans beats Bryce Hall for the ball.

* Trask throws to Ryan Miller along the left sideline and Miller just gets his feet inbounds.

* Trask to Tanner Knue on a short pass to the left sideline.

* Ramon Jefferson runs right and there is no room for the Kentucky product to run.

* Volleyball: Mayfield throws for rookie receiver Jalen McMillan to the left near the left hashmarks but he couldn’t hold on. The ball bounced forward. There, Devin Culp was Johnny on the spot for the catch.

* For some reason McMillan is wearing a black jersey without a number on it.

* Mayfield throws to the left sideline for Chris Godwin and Lavonte David jumps the route and nearly had a pick. He did knock the ball away.

* Mayfield threads the needle throwing through a crowd and hitting Evans in the back of the crowd. Must have been close as the defense, both the guys on the field and those watching on the sidelines, let out a giant moan when Evans pulled away from the crowd with the ball.

* Trask connects with McMillan down the left side.

* Mayfield throws for McMillan also down the left sideline and McMillan gets his feet inbounds before going out of bounds. The play happened right in front of Jamel Dean who was close but not close enough.

* Before the next play is snapped, Joe could hear offensive coordinator Liam Coen holler in a not-so-happy tone of voice, “Time out!”

* Both Coen and offensive line coach Kevin Carberry bring a lot of energetic chatter to practices each day. Juice! Both are quite vocal.

* McMillan gets a dump-off pass to the left from Mayfield.

* Godwin catches a Mayfield pass over the middle.

* Looked as though there wasn’t a clean handoff on a run play (Joe was screened and couldn’t get the numbers) but veteran free agent defensive lineman Eric Banks fell on the loose ball for a recovery.

* Trask throws short to Cody Thompson on the left side and he has a convoy in front of him.

* D.J. Williams takes a pitch and runs left.

* Jefferson catches a Trask pass in the left flat.

* Jefferson runs up the middle angling right.

* For some weird reason whenever Joe types Jefferson’s name, he thinks of linebacker Charles Jefferson of “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” fame.

7-on-7/Red zone

* Mayfield throws over the middle for Cade Otton for six.

* Mayfield throws to Rachaad White down the left seam.

* Mayfield connects with Irvin along the right sideline near the goal line.

* Mayfield to Otton down the right seam for a score.

* Otton catches another touchdown pass from Mayfield in damn near the identical play. David dove along the goal line but couldn’t get a hand on the ball. Mayfield celebrates by squatting down and shooting (imaginary) pistols with both hands. Gunslinger!

* Evans catches a throw from Mayfield just across the goal line along the right sideline.

* Joe couldn’t tell who Trask was throwing to in the far right corner of the end zone but Joe did see rookie UDFA corner Marcus Banks sky to break up the pass.

* Otton catches a touchdown pass from Trask over the middle.

* Trask was throwing to someone deep in the end zone and J.J. Russell came racing in from the right, dove and knocked the ball down at the goal line.

* John Wolford has a pass broken up in the end zone, this time by Keenan Isaac.

* Rookie UDFA receiver Latreal Jones jumps in front of Isaac to catch a touchdown pass from Wolford on the left side.

11-on-11

* Mayfield throws to the right for Godwin for a screen pass and Godwin has a convoy of blockers in front of him.

* Mayfield looked right but saw Anthony Nelson collapsing the pocket from the right. He then throws to the left sideline for Otton.

* Irving runs to the right but there’s not much there.

* Joe just realized and is pretty sure he hasn’t seen White run the ball once all practice. Make of that what you wish. Is Bucs coach Todd Bowles sending another message? Joe recalls a practice early in camp where the only time White ran the ball was with the third team, though he caught several passes that same practice with the first team.

* Mayfield throws a bullet down the middle over the middle for a diving Trey Palmer just enough for a first down, some 10 yards downfield.

* Trask to Sean Tucker down the left sideline for a short gain.

* Coen doesn’t like what he sees after the Bucs break the huddle. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! Timeout! Huddle up, please!”

* Trask connects with Knue on a short pass to the left sideline.

* “No huddle, let’s go!” Coen barks.

* Thompson catches a short pass down the left seam from Trask.

* White catches a pass from Trask short along the right sideline.

* Godwin on a short pass down the left hashmark and Mayfield gets him the ball.

* Mayfield sidearms a short pass to the right hashmark for Miller.

* Irving catches a short pass from Mayfield on the left side.

* Wolford the victim of a coverage sack.

* Mayfield is flushed up the middle.

* Mayfield is sacked as the pocket fully collapses around him. Joe couldn’t tell who it was that got to Mayfield but seemed like the entire defensive front caved in the offensive line.

* Irving up the middle.

* Irving up the middle, angling towards the right.

* Mayfield to Palmer along the left sideline on a short pass.

* Mayfield links up with McMillan over the middle for about 15 yards.

* D.J. Williams ends practice with two runs up the middle, the second run he angled to the right.

No practice on Tuesday as the Bucs travel to Jacksonville. The Bucs and Jags are scheduled to have two joint practices on Wednesday and Thursday.

Underwear football day at One Buc.
This drill is reminiscent of Ira Kaufman when Golden Corral rolls out a fresh tray of fried shrimp. https://t.co/TU9fMUw58S
