“This Joe” believes there is nothing resembling the crater-sized hole on the Bucs’ roster than the one at inside linebacker. But a member of the PFF tribe seems to think otherwise. (more…)
“Don’t take Liam’s calls, Kyle.”
Yes, popular Bucs backup quarterback Kyle Trask is a pending free agent.
And considering he was “this close” to beating out Pro Bowler Baker Mayfield for the 2023 starting job, Joe suspects there will be significant demand for Trask’s services. (more…)
Promising rookie season.
Joe likes to say rookies play like rookies because they are rookies. But there is one Bucs rookie that Bucs coach Todd Bowles is confident will raise his game in 2025. (more…)
Contract year.
Unless Bucs right tackle Luke Goedeke has been telling people off the record he’s going launch Operation Shutdown like left tackle Tristan Wirfs did last year, Joe doesn’t understand the hyperventilating to extend Goedeke’s contract. (more…)

BY IRA KAUFMAN
This Buc offseason is all about trying to gain an edge.
Don’t be fooled by the numbers. Todd Bowles always finds a way to stack up impressive sack totals, but anyone who watched the 2024 Bucs knows this defense lacked a consistent pass rush. (more…)
Bucs offensive assistant coach Josh Grizzard.
So once upon a time in 2009, when the Bucs were enduring excruciating growing pains, the team hired an offensive coordinator to call plays — except he literally couldn’t do it. (more…)

So which in-house offensive coordinator candidate do the Bucs want to replace Liam Coen, if any?
Well, at least one is garnering a lot of interest. (more…)
Props from Todd Bowles.
Joe knows every Bucs fan and their brother is still fixated on the Liam Coen saga and who the Bucs will choose to replace him. (more…)
Key to strong o-line.
