Buccaneers Observer

Some rookies have been signed, but not all, and now it is time for them to shine at this weekend’s rookie mini-camp. According to the stats, is Suh better than McCoy? Ralph breaks out his soap box and “Ouija Board Theory” to explain why seeing the positives with the Bucs is better than looking for blame. Molly slogs through some more coach interviews, and applies the Bright Spots Theory to the Buccaneers. Ralph debunks the notion that we have a hole at right guard. Jameis Winston decides that his head is not that important and is best used for party tricks. Devin White surprises everyone with a number change. Find out which reporter has been covering the Bucs since Molly was in diapers.

Gerald McCoy’s message for fans rubs Molly the wrong way almost as much as the media’s persistent ass kissing. Jason Pierre-Paul’s car wreck appears more serious than the Bucs initially let on, putting his future with the team into question. Ronde Barber will be inducted into the Buccaneers Ring of Honor this fall.

With the long train of coach press conferences last week, Molly and Ralph are still going through all of them so you don’t have to.

It’s a slow news week following the NFL draft. The Bucs waive six players, including fan favorite Riley Bullough. The other players on the chopping block were P Hayden Hunt, K Phillip Andersen, DE Hunter Dimick, and DT Nick Thurman. We delve into Andersen’s former team, the Berlin Eagles, and touch on that other sport they call “futbol”. With Riley Bullough quickly finding a home at the Tennessee Titans, we posit whether the Buccaneers are a feeder team for the AFC team, and reminisce about other feeder leagues. Remember that XFL player nicknamed “He Hate Me”? Ralph does! With Devin White choosing No. 41 out of respect for Mike Alstott, Ralph divulges where the Bucs’ jerseys stand amongst the rest of the league. We postulate the methods used to design the Bucs uniforms, and reminisce about group projects. What will the offensive line be after George Warhop’s reign?

Who are going to be some of the major players both new and old? What is Arians’ record as a coach in the NFL and what does that tell us about his chances for taking the Buccaneers to the playoffs? This and more on the lastest edition of the Buccuneers Observer podcast.

Bruce Arians makes his second press conference of voluntary minicamp and accountability is ringing in our ears. Donovan Smith battles illness at home, while B.A. powers through. We discuss the leadership styles of JPP, Lavonte David and Gerald McCoy. Bruce Arians uses the media to send messages to his players, both good and bad. Plus, we’ll delve into the Devin White pick and why the move is less about talent and more about culture.

Voluntary minicamp began today, and Bruce Arians took the podium. What was his take on Jameis Winston? Gerald McCoy? Find out why everything you hear between now and Thursday is a lie.
