Podcast appearances and mentions of Baker Mayfield

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick dig into one of the more improbable quarterback stories in franchise history: undrafted rookie Jalon Daniels beating out Jake Browning and Connor Bazelak to become Baker Mayfield's backup. Rick traces just how rare this is — the last rookie the Bucs handed the QB2 job to was Mike Glennon back in 2013 — and walks through how a three-star recruit out of Kansas who went undrafted turned heads in joint practices against the Jets and Chiefs, then got an extended (and rocky) look against Jacksonville's twos and threes before locking down the job anyway. They debate what the call says about Browning, whether the coaching staff may have stumbled onto Baker Mayfield's eventual successor given how similar their games are, and run through the rest of the roster cuts — including Chris Braswell's release and moves along both lines — before previewing the two-week runway to the season opener at Cincinnati.Then it's over to the Rays, who somehow won two of the strangest games of their season against the Padres — a shortstop's non-contact knee injury on an errant throw home that flipped one game, and a bizarre would-be series-ending catch-and-drop in left field that got ruled a home run and reignited the "what actually is a catch" debate — before pulling out the extra-innings finale on a Liam Hicks throw that nailed a runner at third. The sweep pushes Tampa Bay to 82-54, four and a half games up on the Yankees. Rick and Steve also dig into the latest on the Rays' "forever home": with Tampa City Council and Hillsborough County's approval in hand, the next steps are bond filings (30 to 90 days) and prepping Hillsborough Community College for portable classrooms, plus why this ownership group's commitment to staying in Tampa feels different than the Stu Sternberg era ever did.

Reporting from Jacksonville, Rick Stroud relays the scary moment nobody around the Bucs wanted to see — Rueben Bain Jr. missing practice with a sprained AC joint, though Rick notes the lack of any real treatment on the field is a good sign he'll be ready for Cincinnati. Rick and Steve also dig into an eyebrow-raising development at quarterback: with Baker Mayfield and Trevor Lawrence getting the bulk of the joint-practice reps, it was Jalon Daniels — not veteran Jake Browning — taking the number two snaps, and Rick walks back some of his own skepticism about whether the undrafted rookie has already locked down the backup job. Plus, Tristan Wirfs is back in pads and looking like himself, which both hosts agree makes him the best player on the roster.They also break down the massive stadium news on deck — Tampa's city council voting today and Hillsborough County following Friday on the Rays' new ballpark — along with a tour of Jacksonville's chaotic, crane-filled Everbank Stadium construction site ahead of the season opener there.

They dig back into the Jalon Daniels debate — why his string of strong preseason relief outings still shouldn't make him QB2 over veteran Jake Browning — and break down the wild news out of Cleveland, where Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, setting up a loaded Week 2 matchup when the Browns visit Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield faces the quarterback who effectively pushed him out of Cleveland.

The Buccaneers enter as the betting favorites behind Baker Mayfield despite a late-season collapse last year, while the Falcons bring in new head coach Kevin Stefanski to try to unlock their talented roster. The Saints look for continued growth in Year 2 under Kellen Moore, and the Panthers, last year's surprise division winners, try to prove it wasn't a fluke with Bryce Young taking another step forward.

Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick break down the Bucs' 16-15 preseason win over Kansas City, where Baker Mayfield's night was cut short behind a patchwork offensive line missing three of its top four tackles, but the starting defense — even without Vita Vea — flashed real teeth, with Rueben Bain Jr. terrorizing the pocket and Anthony Nelson turning in a monster first half. Once again it was Jalon Daniels rallying the offense late, and Rick and Steve debate whether the rookie has already played his way onto the 53-man roster and turned the Bucs into an unlikely three-quarterback team. They also dig into the wave of players testing a new court ruling that allows a return to college eligibility — Jack Pyburn's situation, plus the wild story of the Browns releasing tight ends who got calls from Lane Kiffin — and preview this week's joint practices with Liam Cohen's Jaguars in Jacksonville.On the Rays, Nick Martinez was brilliant — six innings, one hit — in a 3-1 win over Baltimore that snapped a three-game skid and avoided a fourth straight series loss to the Orioles. Rick and Steve talk about what's behind the second-half stumble in the pitching staff, and why holding onto the AL East lead down the stretch matters as much for the bye it could buy as anything else.
