It won’t be ground-and-pound, but the era of Air Bowles ends right now.
Bowles was not happy with 45-year-old Tom Brady averaging 43 throws per game in 2022, but he yielded authority to Byron Leftwich. It didn’t work. Unlike the first two seasons with Brady under center, the pass-happy Bucs stunk offensively en route to an 8-9 finish. (more…)

The Bucs are taking a Pilates approach to roster construction.
When Jason Licht looks at the depth chart, he can’t help but think the Bucs need to strengthen their core. They’ve got some solid players, maybe even a few elite ones, but not enough difference-makers to be considered a championship contender — even in the relatively weak NFC. (more…)

In sports, as in life, you try to play to your strengths.
For the past three seasons, the strength of Tampa Bay’s offense was the legend under center. When you’ve got Tom Brady to make split-second decisions and read defenses, your path to victory is clear: throw the football. (more…)

As he heads into his 10th draft as GM of the Buccaneers, Jason Licht has an opportunity to correct a major oversight.
Licht has made more than his share of dynamic picks since 2014, but he can’t be proud of his record for choosing disruptive pass rushers. And as the 2023 draft approaches, Todd Bowles is looking for a few good men to hound opposing quarterbacks off the edge. (more…)

Todd Bowles took his seat at the table this week during the NFC coaches breakfast with the media.
Todd Bowles
He answered every question directly, smiling often and radiating optimism about the 2023 Buccaneers.
Many of the queries came from a co-owner of this website, the only Bucs beat outlet that bothered to make the trip to Phoenix, where Joel Glazer and Jason Licht also discussed the state of the franchise exclusively with JoeBucsFan.
Next March, the annual owners meetings will likely shift back to Florida. Will Bowles be breaking bread at the breakfast table — or will somebody else be taking questions about the 2024 Bucs? (more…)

The NFL owners meetings are slated for next week in Phoenix, where Bucs co-chairman Joel Glazer is expected to discuss the state of the franchise with local media.
Things have changed markedly from 2020, when the Tom Brady era began in Tampa and ownership charged GM Jason Licht with an aggressive approach that would maximize the club’s chances for a Super Bowl title. Licht responded in kind, trading for Rob Gronkowski, adding Leonard Fournette as a free agent just before the season opener and signing Antonio Brown in midseason as he was finishing up an 8-week NFL suspension.
Back in 2007, Glazer sat down with me in Phoenix during a gathering of owners. The Bucs were coming to the end of a cycle and had just endured a 4-12 season with Bruce Gradkowski under center. The defense wasn’t very good and the offense was awful, averaging 13 points per game. (more…)
