Couldn’t the Bucs use an effort like Alstott’s?

October 5, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. For a running back, there wasn’t a lot of wiggle to his game. That’s okay. There were other guys to wiggle. There were faster guys, and there were sleeker guys, and there were guys who could dance more in the hole. There were guys who gained more yards. There were guys who […]

Scattered passing, scattered kicking beat Bucs

Bucs’ defense was a huge disappointment

September 28, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. Kicker? Right about now, you’re ready to kick him to the curb. Receivers? Right about how, you’re ready to drop one or two the way they dropped the football. Coach? Right about now, you’d be in favor of it. At 3-16, Lovie Smith can start anytime. You can gather the usual suspects, […]

Sunday, 5:50 p.m. In their self-identification as one of the bottom-dwellers of the National Football League, this is what they do. Any questions? Anyone want to know exactly why the Tampa Bay Bucs have won only three of their last 19 games? This. That’s why. Missed kicks. Dropped passes. Dumb penalties. Wayward throws. Meager pressure. […]

Looking back, Williamson wasn’t enough for Bucs

September 24, 2015 general

6 a.m., Thursday The eyes. I still remember the eyes. His voice could raise and turn salty, the way the voices of most coaches can. The veins in his neck could jut out in frustration. The forehead would furrow in failure. But the eyes. The eyes gave you a glimpse of the pain Richard Williamson […]

Urgency hits Tampa Bay Bucs early in the season

September 16, 2015 general

Wednesday, 12:33 p.m. First came the storm. Now Lovie Smith must switch the narrative. Last Sunday, his Tampa Bay Buccaneers appeared lost and without vision, like blind mice scrambling in a coat closet.
