Apologies for being late with the Slow-Mo video. Here it is though. Enjoy Carnell Williams vision and cutback ability. While it's another run by Williams, you will see a lot of different things in this video than usual. If the video is too large and intrusive to the website, make sure your webpage view is set to "Wide" and not "narrow." You can do this on the left-hand side of the...

Listed at 6-5, 305 lbs., on the Bucs roster (he’s probably more like 325), Donald Penn is hardly a symbol of fitness. He’s a tough, gifted, smooth-footed left tackle, but he hardly looks capable of running the floor in NBA. Penn, however, disagrees. A former All-State high school basketball player in California, Penn said he could score a long [...]

Aside from Kellen Winslow and Sammie Stroughter, the Bucs receiver with the best hands Sunday wasn’t a receiver. It was tackle Donald Penn. Penn showed some savvy for a bulking 300-pound receiver, including instinctively switching hands to carry the ball as he rumbled downfield. Joe would still love to find out where Penn learned that from. So impressed [...]

Joe has been geeked the way Geno Hayes has played since he figured out how to read a clock (just kidding Geno). He’s been one of the very few bright spots in what already has been a horrid season. Because the Bucs are so bad, with the exception of Donald Penn, Joe didn’t think any Bucs [...]

The Bucs’ stellar left tackle, Donald Penn, signed a one-year restricted free agent tender offer in the spring for about $2.8 million. Surely, the Bucs could have locked up the undrafted 26-year-old to a long term deal, but opted to make him prove it on the field for one more season. As Penn continues to perform at [...]

Lost in the sewage that has been the Bucs’ first three games has been the play of possibly the best Bucs player thus far early in the season: offensive tackle Donald Penn. Consider that Penn had to play two of his first three games against Dallass and the New York Giants and their two stud players, [...]

View full size photo uploaded September 24, 2009 Lee Caz posted an article the other day that looked at our secondary and the round at which they were drafted. It got me thinking, is there any correlation with the Bucs in terms of talent and draft position? So I took the two deep roster of the Bucs, ignoring special teams and looked at their draft position, how we acquired them, and who acquired them...

JoeBucsFan.com analyst Steve Campbell is in a Bruce Springsteen kind of mood since last weekend and he decides to branch out a little to give his observation not just on the offensive line, but the team in general. By Steve Campbell JoeBucsFan.com analyst I had the opportunity to go down to South Florida this past weekend to attend [...]

It has been very slow here lately. But don't expect to return to what it once was this summer. For now, here some links more geared toward stats that I found to be quite interesting: - Justin Bopp awesomeness with visuals at Beyond the Boxscore just got better. He now has created a way to view a players ability through a diamond (baseball diamond). See the Carlos Pena one for power awesomeness and...

This will likely be the last post about the Dallass loss from Joe. But for the cheerleaders (no, not the kind who possess natural and surgically-enhanced flotation devices) out there who say Joe is too negative (Joe has yet to figure out how a bad loss is positive), this is for you. While a lot of [...]

Setting a record for most post titles featuring a question in a row, Aqib Talib was arrested today in Tampa Bay . Not a shock considering his previous background with week and the fact he tried to use his helmet as a weapon earlier this year: Earlier this year, Talib got into a scuffle with Donald Penn, and Talib the always-wise decision to remove his helmet and swing it like a weapon. The helmet struck...
