I am faced with a few complications as far as keeping up to date with the Bucs news in the UK. Distance is obviously a big one, 4454 miles to be precise from door to door. Then there is the time difference, Tampa is 5 hours behind the city I live in. Twitter helps bridge some …Read More
As you know, we tend to be very active in the community. Our 501c3, What the Buc Really Matters Foundation continues to grow and partner with community groups and provide whatever time, talent or treasure our group and those we touch (used that word for you, Matt) can muster. Well, three years ago we started …Read More
The next installment of my “Welcome Aboard” series is an interesting story about another one of the Buccaneers rookies that most of you probably haven’t even heard of yet. Eric Nzeocha has had a long journey on his way to Tampa Bay and he’s got a long ways to go, but he’s been given an amazing opportunity …Read More
This week as I am traveling, I will be hopping on Super Heavyweight’s (@superhvyweight) show, Buc What Ya Heard instead of doing a show from the road. We will be talking Bucs and be joined by Buccaholics Albuquerque (Still not a real place) Captain, Nikki (@Bucs_Princess) via Google Hangouts. Expect chats about camp preview, player contracts, who needs to …Read More
This next installment of my “Welcome Aboard” series is about one of the unsung workhorses of any NFL offense, the fullback. Quayvon Hicks is one of two fullbacks currently on the Bucs roster for training camp, but there are no guarantees that he’ll make the team. He’s not only competing with veteran Austin Johnson but …Read More
The next installment of my “Welcome Aboard” series about another rookie undrafted free agent signed by the Buccaneers right after the 2017 NFL Draft. Jesus “BoBo” Wilson is a former Florida State Seminole and has been reunited with his former college quarterback and current Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston. He’s hoping that the familiarity and chemistry between …Read More
This next installment of my “Welcome Aboard” series is about undrafted free agent safety Alex Gray. Safety is going to be an interesting position to watch in training camp as the Bucs currently have 6 safeties on their 90-man camp roster. Three of those six, Chris Conte, Keith Tandy and J.J. Wilcox, have NFL experience while two …Read More
The next subject of my “Welcome Aboard” series isn’t exactly a new player to the Bucs, but he is a new player to the offensive line. J.R. Sweezy has been raising eyebrows and turning heads during OTA’s for his nastiness and tenacity as a blocker. Let’s just hope that he can stay healthy and pick …Read More
The next subject of my “Welcome Aboard” series is one of the unsung heroes of the special teams, the new veteran longsnapper Garrison Sanborn. After a very consistent 8 year stint with the Buffalo Bills, he’s coming back home to Tampa and he couldn’t be happier. Sanborn is a Florida native having graduated from Jesuit High …Read More
The next installment of my “Welcome Aboard” series is yet another one of Dirk Koetter’s and Mike Smith’s former Falcon players. James Stone is a center that the Buccaneers signed back in January to a futures/reserves contract. He’s a real longshot at making this 53-man roster as a backup with the group they have currently, …Read More
