In this series, we’ll break down different scenarios that could, should, and will happen before the Tampa Bay Bucs get a chance to play them out.

They’ll embark upon that journey on Monday Night Football, against the Philadelphia Eagles. Some things that could, should, and will play out during their quest—

Buccaneers punter Jake Camarda named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week

The young punter has a canon for a leg.

The National Football League today announced that Tampa Bay Buccaneers punter Jake Camarda was named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week for Week 2. Camarda is the first punter in team history to win Special Teams Player of the Week accolades multiple times with Tampa Bay.

Camarda led the NFC with three of his four punts pinned inside the 20-yard line, including one inside the 10-yard line, in Tampa Bay’s Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears. Among all players with three-or-more punts in Week 2, Camarda finished third in...

Buccaneers’ linebacker Devin White on his offseason trade request: I’m stupid for trying to leave’

It would appear that the Buccaneers’ star linebacker has changed his tone.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker Devin White made headlines this offseason when he decided he had had enough of his current contract and therefore, enough of Tampa Bay. The 2019 first-round pick went public with his displeasure requesting that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers trade him away. Predictably, the Buccaneers dismissed his trade request like kids at the end of a school day.

Unlike Florida weather, the trail went cold until May, when Buccaneers linebacker coach Larry Foote addressed the defender’s situation—

“He’s not going to be the first and...

The Day After: Buccaneers vs. Bears Week 2 Reactions

The Day After: Buccaneers vs. Bears Week 2 Reactions

The Bucs keep the good times rolling.

The Buccaneers are 2-0 on the season after an impressive 27-17 victory over Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears. The offense was able to move the ball much more effectively this week while the defense continued their strong play.

Baker and Evans Continue to Bake

The Baker Mayfield to Mike Evans connection has been strong to start the season and only got stronger with a dominant week 2 performance. The two looked in rhythm and had plenty of explosive plays including a big time touchdown on a third and long to put...

Report: Buccaneers to lose Chase Edmonds for 4-6 weeks

Doesn’t appear the team will fill the void he may leave.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have celebrated their 27-17 win over the Bears Sunday, but have some apparent news that’s not worthy of a celebration by any means.

Running back Chase Edmonds went down during the Bucs victory on Sunday. Edmonds would eventually be ruled out for the remainder of the game and it is reported that he will miss significant time.

This news coming from NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, where the timetable Schultz is reporting looks to be four to six weeks.

Edmonds has been a key role player...

Buccaneers Week 2 Top Performers vs Chicago Bears

Buccaneers Week 2 Top Performers vs Chicago Bears

Despite a close call on the scoreboard, several Tampa stars dominated Chicago nearly whistle to whistle.

Missed red zone opportunities and some costly defensive lapses made it closer than it needed to be, but the Buccaneers still secured their home opener against the Chicago Bears, 27-17, to improve to 2-0.

Baker Mayfield looked comfortable and confident, the defense harassed Justin Fields all day, and the Bucs head into their biggest test thus far with a head of steam next week against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football.

Big-time stars and unheralded pieces both stepped up big on Sunday, so...
