One message at One Buc Palace this week has been to not blame backup right tackle Justin Skule for Lions edge rusher Aiden Hutchinson playing game-wrecker with 4 1/2 sacks on Sunday.

But today it felt like there was a new message. (more…)

Football smarts.

Joe wasn’t alone in this. (more…)

Let him rest.

It blows Joe’s mind that Bucs Pro Bowl defensive tackle Vita Vea could bounce back this quickly from a knee injury.

And the way Joe looks at it, it may be too early.

(more…)

Manbeast defensive tackle Vita Vea left Sunday’s game in Detroit with what was classified as a Grade 2 knee sprain (MCL). (more…)

Mike Evans is proud of Chris Godwin.

Boy oh boy, it is so refreshing for Joe to follow an NFL team that has next-level receivers with little to no ego. (more…)

Poor running attacks butt heads Sunday.

If the first two weeks of the season are a barometer, on Sunday when the Broncos face the Bucs at The Licht House, two of the four worst teams in successful run percentage will battle each other like a couple of old women. (more…)

Right call at the right time.

Yesterday when Bucs offensive coordinator Liam Coen spoke to the local pen and mic club for the first time since the Bucs’ win over the Lions, Coen set up how Baker Mayfield’s number was called for the game-winning touchdown. (more…)

Future Hall of Fame center no longer wanted to tangle with this man.

Former Eagles center Jason Kelce, who gave a speech for the ages when the Eagles won the Super Bowl in February 2018, may go down as one of the more popular athletes in Philadelphia.

And a guy Bucs defensive tackle Vita Vea ran out of football. (more…)

Status.

Luke Goedeke could not go at Detroit last week because of a concussion. And the Bucs sorely missed their right tackle in Detroit.

A report this afternoon suggests Goedeke will not play this weekend, either.

Per J.C. Allen of SI.com, Goedeke is unlikely to clear concussion protocol by Sunday. If so, Goedeke would miss his second straight game.

His backup, Justin Skule, was simply abused by Aidan Hutchinson Sunday. Fortunately for the Bucs, the Broncos do not have a talent on the defensive line like Hutchinson.

Interesting nuance was offered today by Buccaneers offensive coordinator Liam Coen. (more…)

This is fun. Former Bucs quarterback Mike Glennon (2013-2016) weighed in strong on Baker Mayfield.

Glennon also talked about the topic of “investiture.” (more…)

In episode #313 of The Todd Wright TODDcast, Todd praises organizations like the Bucs, Rams, Eagles and 49ers for recently being proactive with replacing franchise quarterbacks, while six others paid a combined $1,000,000,000+ to maintain status quo with QBs who have not (and likely will not) get them to a Super Bowl.
