Joe hasn’t slept since the report connecting the Bucs and pending free agent edge rusher Khalil Mack.

What an upgrade that would be! (more…)

Offensive chatter.

Few head coaches have had two first-time NFL playcallers get plucked back-to-back like what happened with the Bucs the past two offseasons. (more…)

Stopping NFC South QBs.

Yeah, Joe gets it. No need to consult with a NASA rocket scientist or a Ouija board to figure out the Bucs will draft for defense because there is really no hole on offense. (more…)

Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Joe truly, honestly believes the Bucs are maybe two solid defensive players away from making a serious Super Bowl run. (more…)

Todd Bowles was pounding a drum for ballhawks last week in Indianapolis. (more…)

Once upon a time at One Buc Palace, Jon Gruden had a laboratory where he worked on hidden talents.

Per the words of Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht, it sounds like Todd Bowles has maintained the Bunsen burners and sterilized the old beakers and test tubes. (more…)

Won’t be lone mail carrier.

Todd Bowles had an interesting comment at the combine in Indianapolis last week. It may have been a window into the Bucs’ rushing attack this fall. (more…)

Fans and Joe saw it. So did Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht. (more…)

Looking for third-straight homer.

Last year the Bucs drafted seven rookies. Of those, five had an impact in at least one win. Often, they had major positive impacts. (more…)

Too much thinking.

As Bucs coach Todd Bowles met with a gaggle of Tampa Bay pen and mic club members last week at the combine in Indianapolis, when Bowles spoke about rookie outside linebacker Chris Braswell, Joe couldn’t help but think of a pop culture icon from the past. (more…)

Clock ticks.

Before the combine started last week, the Bucs got a two-week extension to get a deal done with wide receiver Chris Godwin that pushed the deadline to sign him and avoid a massive cap hit to March 12. (more…)

Bucs were interested in 2018, too.

So the guy who broke the story last March claiming the Bucs were shopping Carlton Davis and Jamel Dean is now claiming, after a week at the NFL Scouting Combine, the Bucs are potentially in the sweepstakes for beastly edge rusher Khalil Mack. (more…)

Baker Mayfield is not a one-size-fits-all kind of guy.

Heck, one day he’s hammering skinny margaritas and the next day it’s old school American beer. (more…)

So in celebration of Tampa Bay becoming a lasting contender under the direction of Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht, Joe has talked to a lot of people not named “Licht” about how the boss has gotten the job done. (more…)

Discovery.

Well, we certainly know one takeaway Todd Bowles had about his Bucs last year: They needed a lot more takeaways. (more…)

Defensive lineman Will Gholston.

Joe loves when head coaches are asked these kinds of questions. (more…)

Job security with Bucs.

Last March, ESPN NFL insider Jeremy Fowler reported the Bucs were open to trading a starting cornerback as Carlton Davis or Jamel Dean were being shopped. (more…)

Last Chance U for Devin White?

Is the Las Vegas Strip now the Boulevard of Broken Dreams for former Bucs star Devin White? (more…)

Chris Godwin.

So the combine is over, at least the combine that NFL media attends. Joe’s not referencing the indoor track practice TV show. (more…)
