Buccaneers reach a deal with Ndamukong Suh. We ponder what the Bucs defense will look like with this addition and the impact he could have on Vita Vea. Ralph admits he was wrong and Molly was right. We touch on Suh’s dirtiest plays and Molly tells us how she really feels about Aaron Rodgers. The Bucs defensive communication improves. Will Gholston puts on some weight. You’d be surprised how much agents can make. Ex-players Ronde Barber and Booger McFarland make an appearance at OTAs. The 2020 Combine makes its way to prime time and it brings Molly back to the Presidential Fitness Test. Oklahoma drills phase out.

One of the things I love about Bruce Arians is that he’s an open book. Literally. I mean, the man wrote a freakin’ book. Typically, you get a new head coach that is all coach-speak and you spend hours watching film or reading between the lines of said coach-speak to really get a feel for their coaching style/philosophy. Not B.A. It’s all right there in black and white.
He’s been around the league and coached some of the best: Peyton Manning, Ben Roethlisberger, Andrew Luck. He’s spent decades studying quarterbacks. For a short time, he was one. In fact, up until 2016 he held the record for single season rushing touchdowns by a quarterback at Virginia Tech – a record that Michael Vick was unable to overtake. In short: the man knows quarterbacks.

We know publicly B.A. has stated, unequivocally, Jameis Winston is our quarterback. But as Jameis enters the final year of his rookie contract, Bucs fans are left to ponder whether he’ll be added to the long list of quarterbacks that either crash and burn with the Bucs or move on to bigger and better things (there has been, in our experience, no in-between).
