Sunday, 6 a.m. Hello, I’m Bill Belichick. And it would be much easier to believe that I was a genius if I didn’t have my finger up my nostril. – Doctors are going to examine Lawrence Phillips’ brain. My guess it’ll be in great shape, having never been used. – Wow, Two thoughts about  last night’s Cardinals-Packers […]

If Koetter is to succeed, he’ll need help

January 15, 2016 general

Friday, 6:10 a.m. It doesn’t matter where a coach comes from. It matters what sort of help he gets once he’s here. That’s the part that has always been difficult for the Tampa Bay Bucs to fathom. They have hired former pro coaches, four of them. They have hired former college coaches, three of them. […]

The questions Koetter must answer are defensive

January 14, 2016 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. The coach is offensive. The questions are defensive. It is doubtful that Jason Licht asked Dirk Koetter a lot about his offense this week. Does he want to know what he thinks about Jameis Winston? About Doug Martin? Look at the tapes. Want to know what he would do in a goal-to-go […]

Random Thoughts: Bucs barely missed playoffs

January 10, 2016 general

Just think. If the NFL expanded its playoffs to only 22 teams, the Bucs would still barely miss. – If Nick Saban wins on Monday night, do they change the name of the joint to Sabanburg? – Just getting it out there. Next year, I plan to vote for Fred McGriff again. I do not […]

If the Bucs hire Koetter, are they better off?

January 8, 2016 general

Friday, 6 a.m. On the afternoon of October 25, no one thought Dirk Koetter was the solution to the Bucs’ problems. The Bucs had just had a meltdown against the Washington Redskins. The offense, which had come so far under Koetter, had blown a late first-and-goal situation from the five that could have iced the […]

Bucs start over, fire Lovie Smith as coach

January 7, 2016 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. The move smacks of desperation. It cries out of impatience. It was sudden, and it was shocking, and it was dramatic. But, in the echo of Lovie Smith’s firing, is any of that really wrong? For the Tampa Bay Bucs, these are desperate times. Shouldn’t the team be impatient? Doesn’t the situation […]

Winston needs to be careful with his passion

December 24, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. It was an early-season game in Buffalo, just as the Bills were taking over the division from the Miami Dolphins. And things weren’t going well for Miami. Dan Marino was irritated. He didn’t have time, and he didn’t have open receivers. And Mark Clayton had just run an incorrect route. And there, […]
