Jim Miller will always have a soft spot in his heart for the Buccaneers.
Pat Kirwan’s broadcast partner on “Movin’ the Chains,” a long-running SiriusXM NFL Radio program, landed in Tampa Saturday to watch the Bucs practice. The former quarterback of the Steelers and Bears who owns a Patriots Super Bowl Ring, came away impressed. (more…)
The Bucs had lost five consecutive preseason openers, so there are plenty of positives to feel good about after Thursday night’s victory.
There were also several areas of concern because the Dolphins moved the football up and down the field all evening. Let’s give Tampa Bay an overall grade of “B” as the Bucs move on to next week’s scrimmages and matchup in Nashville.

Ira talked to GM Jason Licht, Peyton Barber and more for his Monday column.
BY IRA KAUFMAN
Peyton Barber has heard all the hype surrounding rookies Ronald Jones and Shaun Wilson.
Jones, a second-round pick out of Southern Cal, is described as a home-run run hitter who adds juice to a wilted run game. Dirk Koetter is gushing over Wilson, an undrafted free agent from Duke who has picked up the playbook quickly.
His right knee may not be 100 percent, but Demar Dotson’s truth-meter is working overtime.
The longest-tenured player on the Bucs stayed after practice at the indoor facility the other day, patiently signing autographs for more than 50 fans. He smiled for pictures and shook hands before reinforcing his reputation as Tampa Bay’s most candid player. (more…)

Unbridled optimism abounds across NFL outposts this time of year as players report to training camp.
Every team enters the new season with a blank record — except here in Tampa, where the Bucs are apparently 0-3. If you’ve been listening to national pundits and local talk radio, it seems almost everyone weighing in already has the Bucs stumbling out of the gate. (more…)
