Guest columnist: Giants have a real quarterback

November 7, 2015 general

Saturday, 10:37 a.m. First off, let me point out what an honor it is to appear as a guest lecturer on Gary Shelton’s website. I know Mr. Shelton well, consider him a friend, and am aware he has covered football for some time. I remember, in fact, a column he wrote after the wild card […]

Koetter’s way has led to a better Bucs’ offense

November 6, 2015 general

Friday, 6 a.m. This year, there is a direction. This year, there is an identity. This year, there are expectations. This year, darned if the offense of the Tampa Bay Bucs doesn’t look, well, coordinated. No, they are still not a fireworks show. They are still not lethal. They are still not the kind of […]

Winston’s first game-winning drive means hope

November 4, 2015 general

Wednesday, 6 a.m. You can judge a quarterback by his touchdown passes. Or by his completion percentage. Or by his quarterback rating. You can judge him by how pretty a spiral he throws. Or how few interceptions he has. Or by the way his teeth glisten in his television commercials. But, really, there is only […]

Ranking a fistful of Lovie Smith victories

November 3, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m.   Before you decide where the Bucs’ 23-20 victory over the Falcons ranks among Lovie Smith’s list of victories, you first have to say this: The list isn’t nearly long enough. There have been only five wins in a season and a half, a number that would embarrass most coaches in the […]

For the Bucs, only the victory will matter

November 1, 2015 general

Sunday, 9 p.m. In the end, the second straight collapse did not matter. In the end, the much debated decision to go for it did not matter. In the end, all the yardage piled up by Atlanta quarterback Matt Ryan did not matter. What mattered, as Gerald McCoy held on to Ryan’s legs and the […]

Can Winston’s strengths overcome Smith?

October 29, 2015 general

Thursday, 6 a.m. He just got here. The price tag is not off of him yet. His helmet probably has that new lid smell to it. Still, it is not too early to ask the question: Can Jameis Winston be the guy to save Lovie Smith’s job? They are trending in opposite directions. Winston is […]

Winston off to a decent start for Tampa Bay

October 20, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. A couple of times, he has been wobbly. A couple of times, he has given a glimpse of how good he can be. And so it has gone with Jameis Winston, a little good, a little bit, a little up, a little down, a little bit sure, a little bit shaky. He […]

Bucs win, but fall short of making fans happy

October 11, 2015 general

Sunday, 6:51 p.m. TAMPA It was like having a candy bar for dinner. Sweet, perhaps, but hardly satisfying. With a team trying to learn how to walk, however, this is what you get. Thirty-eight points worth of offense. Thirty-one given up by the defense. Finally, a win at home. Almost, a secondary capable of blowing […]

First month in NFL has been difficult for Winston

October 6, 2015 general

Tuesday, 6 a.m. At times like this, it feels wrong. At times like this, he feels wrong. The National Football League looks too big for Jameis Winston, too fast, too slick. The schemes that the opposition uses seems too advanced, too complicated. He has dared to be a rookie, merely one month into his career, […]
