Several carries.

Not a bunch to type about in this practice. (more…)

Bigger role.

The Buccaneers’ big-money veteran quarterback has a little more on his plate right now (more…)

“Don’t let Tristan down, Rachaad.”

So Baker Mayfield made it clear yesterday that he expects the Tampa Bay run game to be “drastically better” than last year in 2024. (more…)

Gave Bucs a scare.

So early in Bucs practice the team has individual drills and then team drills and walk-throughs. Nothing serious. Little to no hitting. (more…)

Never wanted to leave Bucs.

A lot has been made of the Bucs bringing back their free agents. (more…)

Absorbing rookie knowledge.

In years gone by in the NFL — hell, maybe still with some teams — rookies were to be seen and not heard, unless they were singing their school fight song at lunch as ordered by the veterans. (more…)

“Ed, we’ll bankroll Jason. He knows what he is doing with our players.”

The Bucs had serious players entering the free agent market this past spring. And most fans focused on Bucs AC/DC-loving general manager Jason Licht, the players and their representatives. (more…)

“They’ll follow us, ‘Bake.'”

When the Bucs lost six of seven games midseason, entering the month of December with a 4-7 mark, it sure looked like Todd Bowles’ hot seat was scalding. (more…)

Teammate paints him as angry worker.

So it seems right tackle Luke Goedeke gets a little angry sometimes at the state of being the No. 2 tackle on Tampa Bay’s offensive line. (more…)

PRESENTED BY

Rookie running back Bucky Irving.

It’s been about five weeks since Baker Mayfield dropped what may have been the Bucs quote of the summer. (more…)

Baker Mayfield has not gone soft after finding a football home and a fat new contract. (more…)

Terrific catch to end practice.

There are still training camp practices to be had as the Bucs begin to prepare for the joint-practice with the Dolphins on Wednesday. And today’s practice was the third-last fully open practice to the Bucs’ local pen and mic club. (more…)

Former Bucs tackle Gosder Cherilus.

Back in 2015, Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht proved he could find quality offensive line starters on the street in August and September. (more…)

Rest easy, Bucs fans. Joe Tryon-Shoyinka is going to be OK.

Joe’s being a little sarcastic about the fourth-year edge rusher still looking for a breakout season. But Todd Bowles delivered the good news today about Tryon-Shoyinka’s nagging summer neck injury; he’s making progress and is trending toward a Week 1 return.

Joe can say the same about YaYa Diaby’s ankle sprain, as well.

Joe always pays attention when former Bucs rock star general manager Mark Dominik (2009-2013) is talking Tampa Bay football. (more…)

Todd Bowles

Todd launches into a speed round to discuss more fantasy players than any previous podcast this season. The Todd Wright Fantasy Football Podcast is presented by Hooters!

Named starter.

Joe understands this news is sort of like saying Christmas is coming in December, but it seems the Bucs finally want to admit the obvious.

Per JC Allen of SI.com, the Bucs have decided to finally refer to Graham Barton as their starting center.

Barton has been damn near dominant in the Bucs’ first two worthless preseason games. Saturrday at Jacksonville, Barton again owned defensive linemen in limited play. Joe is guessing that the Bucs finally saw enough and decided to no longer play games with the first-round pick from Duke.

“You know Greenberg, this Albert Breer guy is alright in my book.”

A lot of Bucs fans, when they see national media members pile on the Dixie Chicks’ bandwagon largely because of Kirk Cousins, wonder what these media types are watching. (more…)
