“They Quietly Are Seething”

This nugget is extra interesting to Joe because it comes from a national media guy actually at Bucs practice today.

A CBS Sports crew is at One Buc Palace today and it includes well-respected analyst Charles Davis and national insider Prickly Pete Prisco.

While on CBS HQ this morning, Davis talked about Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht.

With how Licht has “shopped at home” by re-signing his star players, Davis said Licht is the kind of GM players want to be their boss.

Davis also confidently explained that folks inside One Buc Palace are pissed off.

“They quietly are seething at the fact that they’ve won the last two division titles and all any of us media people are talking about is Atlanta, and what’s going on in Atlanta,” Davis said. “They don’t want to hear it anymore. They’re tired of it.”

Joe’s written about this team mindset previously, but it’s more striking coming from a guy who likely just talked to various people in the organization.

Can the collective team anger fuel the Bucs, especially against Atlanta in Week 5?
