Mike James came into last season as Doug Martin’s backup and with low expectations. Martin was to be the workhorse, bellcow type of guy and was sure to get well in excess of 70% of the total running back snaps. The rest would be given principally to Brian Leonard, with James picking up any remaining …Read More
Back at camp after a trip to Canton for Derrick Brook’s enshrinement and I saw some things I like to see and a few things I did not. Highs: Good work in goalline by the 1’s against the 1’s – We have depth at LB (Casillas, Fletcher and Glaud) – Tight Ends improving Lows: Too …Read More
The pads were on and we had contact! This was the first chance to see the new squad hit and everyone was excited including Mr. Sapp who was on hand with his cell phone and Bucs cover! Overall another sloppy outing but the athleticism is evident on the team. Jacksonville will be an important measuring …Read More
Word for the day: sloppy. Not due to weather, the practice today was mired in dropped passes and reduced accuracy. It was VERY hot but I suspect at this point the practice level will improve with the pads coming on today. Verner stood out with an outstanding practice and our RB’s do look exceptionally shifty …Read More
Weather screwed up the schedule but did not dampen the mood of the fans. The team is as big as advertised and in great shape but I think we need to figure out what we are going to do at the the TE spot if we plan to block with them.
Training camp is nearly upon us. The offseason tends to be the most hated and most overly analyzed part of the entire football year. That’s the nature of the beast with offseason. Months pass without a single real game or significant practice causing severely addicted football fans to scratch and claw at anything close to …Read More
This is another guest article by friend of the program, Conor Philpott. I tried to lure him with stories of fame and fortune but he is apparently too smart for that (Dammit). Though not updated from the Dolphins game, the article addresses many of the points the fans are discussin. Bio: Conor Philpott is a teenage writer …Read More
The Buccaneers returned to the practice squad on Saturday in full pads and were joined by the savior of the secondary, Darrelle Revis. Still limited in both individual and team drills, Revis took part in 11-on-11 walk-throughs and fielded punts. The training staff continues to bring him back slowly from the ACL tear he suffered …Read More
The high temperatures at Wednesday’s training camp session brought out the best in starting quarterback Josh Freeman. The twittersphere was abuzz with compliments of Freeman’s accuracy. He continually hit receivers in stride, over the middle of the field, a task in which he has not always been successful. For the second practice in a row …Read More
Drew Hamilton was in attendance and got the 411 on camp as the Bucs showed up with pads and got in work. Follow him @DHTampa and let us know what you think.
