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…)

Donovan Smith leaves One Buc Place with his head held high and his hand extended for another lucrative contract.
At the age of 29, Smith is still young enough to generate considerable interest from a contending NFL team in search of a dependable left tackle. He won’t come cheap — and he won’t come at all as a free agent if a suitor suggests Smith is viewed as a quality backup. (more…)

Let’s shift our focus off Kyle Trask for a moment, shall we?
Replacing Tom Brady was never going to be a simple task. Let’s see what Dave Canales can do to play to the strengths of the new guy under center this fall.
The Bucs need a couple of running backs to complement Rachaad White and this offensive line is about to undergo significant changes.
But enough on that side of the ball for the moment.
Let’s take a hard look at the pride and joy of Todd Bowles, a defensive unit that faces an overhaul in the next two months. (more…)

Smart, Bucs. Very smart.
After evaluating the available options, Tampa Bay’s brain trust has arrived at the proper conclusion … let’s take a step back in order to move ahead.
Let’s take our lumps in free agency and not be foolish enough to replace Tom Brady with a high-priced veteran under center. (more…)
