Bucs’ offense is slipping, but winning forgives it

December 13, 2016 general

Tuesday, 4 a.m. Winning changes everything. It forgives a team’s shortcuts. It consoles an underachieving receiver. It forgives a running back who can’t get going. It pats a quarterback on the back. That’s what winning does: It gives everyone a get-out-of -jail-free card. It fumigates the air. It brightens colors. It increases milage. It makes […]

How bad will Bucs’ season get before it’s over?

November 4, 2016 general

Friday, 4 a.m. The plane is going down. Below, someone has let the zombies out. There are volcanos. Giant dinosaurs roam the earth. There are fires and floods and quicksand and malaria.. Gee, you wonder. Just how bad is this going to get? Is it going to be blame-the-blueprint bad? Is it going to be […]

Winston-to-Evans combo off to a good start

August 28, 2016 general

Sunday, 5:30 a.m. Say what you want about the way Tampa Bay took the Clevland Browns to school Friday night. It started with chemistry class. Suddenly, Jameis Winston and Mike Evans are clicking. The duo was deadly Saturday night against the Cleveland Browns in a 31-13 preseason victory. Winston hit 16 of 25 passes for […]

How good can Winston-to-Evans be for Bucs?

August 1, 2016 general

Monday, 6 a.m. As players, you still measure them more with potential than production. You squint and look toward the horizon, and you can see Jameis Winston taking off. You saw enough in his rookie season to believe. The arm. The legs. The competitive spirit. His interceptions don’t scare you. His inaccuracy doesn’t measure him. […]

For Bucs, Winston-to-Evans has to be more lethal

April 12, 2016 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. It starts with a simple game of pitch and catch. If the Tampa Bay Bucs are going to be better this year, that’s where it starts. It’s Jameis Winston throwing. A good amount of the time, it’s Mike Evans catching. If the Bucs are going to win, those two have to be […]

Bucs need to use their best weapons to beat Rams

December 16, 2015 general

Wednesday 6 a.m. Going in a game, the amount of plays a football team gets is not predetermined. It is not a matter of chance. It is not arbitrary. How many plays the Bucs get, largely, is up to the Bucs. All of which make it kind of sad to hear offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter […]

Game on line, would you have believed in Evans?

December 7, 2015 general

Monday, 6 a.m. Who would you have picked? Given a huddle of Buccaneers, given the pressure, given the moment, whose number would you have called? And when Mike Evans cried “Me, me, me,” would you have responded by saying “Hee-hee-hee?” In the biggest moment of the Bucs’ biggest game of the season, Winston simply looked […]

Winston leads the Bucs to another win

December 6, 2015 general

Sunday, 7 p.m. There are passers who look pretty in the pocket and invincible on the stat sheet. The throw as if they are posing for a painting, and the ball leaves their hands in a spiral. They stack up 300-yard games and pose with cheerleaders. Jameis Winston is not one of those. There are […]
