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. On the field, Freddy Peralta was brilliant in a two-hit shutout as the Rays took two of three from Detroit, and Rick and Steve close with reaction to the Jed York police bodycam video. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Rick Stroud reports live from Jacksonville after a joint practice the Bucs would rather forget — Baker Mayfield admitted afterward that "if this was a full game, I don't think we would have come out on the winning side," and Chris Godwin, in his tenth year, called out the team for getting out-physicaled by Liam Cohen's Jaguars. Rick and Steve break down what went wrong, why a wake-up call now beats one in Cincinnati, and the real bright spots buried in a rough day: Tristan Wirfs back in full pads and moving well, Rueben Bain Jr. continuing to wreck practice reps, and Benjamin Morrison finally getting through a complete practice for the first time in ages. They also preview Friday's preseason finale against the Jaguars and the roster crunch coming this weekend as the Bucs cut from 90 to 53.On the Rays, Tampa Bay's AL East remains at 3.5 games after a 4-1 loss to Detroit, with Rick and Steve digging into the tiebreaker math that still favors the Rays down the stretch, a remarkable stat line from an opposing starter who didn't get a single swing-and-miss in over 80 pitches against Tampa Bay's contact-heavy lineup, and what the Rays need from their rotation to hold on. They close with a tribute to Dolly Parton, who died at 80. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
River Wells of Bucs Gameday on SI joins Rock Riley to discuss the Buccaneers' biggest preseason questions, starting with Tristan Wirfs' progress and Baker Mayfield's expected appearance Saturday. With Baker and Jalon Daniels splitting quarterback snaps almost evenly, Rock and River explore what that could mean for the young QB and the Bucs moving forward. They also discuss Benjamin Morrison practicing for the first time during training camp and whether Vita Vea can find a way to get a deal done before Week 1, despite Jason Licht maintaining Tampa Bay will not trade him.
What does a GREAT season look like for the Buccaneers in 2026? After failing to win the NFC South last season, I believe winning the division is the first step — and honestly, it's a MUST for this team. But I need more than just a division title; with the talent on this roster, from Baker Mayfield and Chris Godwin to Tristan Wirfs, Bucky Irving, Emeka Egbuka, Vita Vea, Antoine Winfield Jr., Kalijah Cancey and Rueben Bain Jr., I believe the Bucs are capable of making noise in January. For me, the formula is simple: win the NFC South, get into the playoffs and win a playoff game. Could this team accomplish more? Absolutely. But based on where this franchise was last season, if the final whistle blows and Tampa Bay has won the division and a playoff game, I'd call that a GREAT season. Where do you set the bar?
Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick preview the Buccaneers' preseason opener against the Jets at MetLife Stadium, breaking down who's likely to play and who's held out. Expect several key veterans to sit (Baker Mayfield, Chris Godwin, and Tristan Wirfs among them), while rookies and young players trying to make a mark get extended run — first-round pick Rueben Bain Jr., backup QB Jalon Daniels, undrafted corner Ayden Garnes, edge rusher David Walker returning from a torn ACL, and running back Josh Williams. Rick shares what it meant to Garnes and Daniels to finally take the field in the NFL.Then it's mailbag time. Rick and Steve field listener questions on how long teammates will stay patient with Vita Vea's contract holdout, the Bucs' biggest weakness heading into the season (hint: it's cornerback depth), Rick's most memorable preseason game after decades on the beat (a trip to Tokyo for the 2002 American Bowl), whether the Rays are a lock to win the AL East, whether a title run helps secure stadium funding, and which Tampa Bay team — Bucs, Bolts, or Rays — is most likely to bring home the next championship.Plus a look ahead: the Rays return home from a 9-0 road trip to host the Orioles in a four-game series this weekend. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Bucs-Jets Joint Practice Turns ChaoticRick Stroud recaps a joint practice between the Buccaneers and Jets that devolved into roughly six bench-clearing fights. The flashpoint: linebacker Luke Goedeke, who had been jawing with Jets rookie first-rounder David Bailey, appeared to take a cheap shot from another player and responded by ripping a helmet off an opponent's head and hurling it 15-20 yards downfield — an act Stroud says would draw an ejection and 15-yard penalty in a real game. Stroud expresses frustration that officials on hand didn't remove him, and that head coach Todd Bowles said he didn't personally witness the incident. Stroud draws a contrast to the Tony Dungy era, recalling how Dungy once sent Hardy Nickerson off the practice field for fighting. Despite the chaos, both hosts agree the underlying competitiveness was a positive sign, and note that team leaders eventually stepped in to calm things down. They expect calmer emotions at the next joint session, with coaches likely warning players against retaliatory penalties.Offensive Line Concerns Without WirfsWith All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs still out, Stroud says the drop-off is stark. He references last season's five-game stretch without Wirfs as evidence of how much the offense suffers. Elsewhere, the offense looked mixed — Bucky Irving ran well, Baker Mayfield mixed strong and shaky throws — while the defense dominated, generating multiple takeaways including a pick-six from Anzalone. Rookie Josiah Trotter continues to impress Stroud, who calls him a future star and pairs him with Rueben Bain Jr., as a young defensive foundation. Geno Smith struggled throughout for the Jets.Backup QB Injury ConcernsJake Browning, penciled in to start the preseason opener with Mayfield sitting out, tweaked his back late in practice and may not play, thrusting Connor Bazelak and Jalen Daniels into bigger preseason roles. Stroud is intrigued by Daniels' "quick-twitch" playmaking ability.Rays Riding Hot StreakShifting to baseball, the hosts marvel at the Rays' dominant road trip (up 12-2 in a game against Oakland as they record), including a Taylor Walls two-homer game and Junior Caminero's continued MVP-caliber season (tied for MLB home run lead). They discuss Caminero's uncertain contract timeline given the pending stadium situation, ownership change, and new CBA negotiations (including a possible five-year max-contract rule), and praise trade-deadline pickups Victor Mesa Jr. and improved outfield defense. Both hosts declare themselves believers in a Rays World Series run given their commanding AL lead. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

How does Vita Vea's trade request and Baker Mayfield's contract status impact the team this year. Plus the Rays beat the Rangers 3-0 despite only getting 3 hits. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Vita Vea has reportedly requested a trade after extension talks with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers failed to produce a new deal. Meanwhile, Baker Mayfield is also entering the season without a contract extension.What should Jason Licht and the Bucs do next?We break down the latest surrounding Vita and Baker, whether Tampa Bay should seriously consider trading its Pro Bowl defensive tackle and which players on the current Buccaneers roster should be considered completely untouchable.Would you move Vita for a second-round pick? Is Baker worth another major contract? And outside of players like Tristan Wirfs, Bucky Irving and Emeka Egbuka, does Tampa Bay have anyone it should refuse to trade under any circumstances?
JoeBucsFan.com's Ira Kaufman joins TKras for a loaded conversation on everything happening at Buccaneers training camp. They break down the latest surrounding Vita Vea's reported trade request, discuss the growing speculation about the Bucs heading into 2026, and examine the continued absence of All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs from practice. Plus, Baker Mayfield looked every bit the franchise quarterback as he put together an impressive day on the practice field. From contract drama to quarterback confidence, TKras and Ira separate fact from fiction and tell you what really matters as Tampa Bay's season gets underway.
Chris Mathis puts TKras on the hot seat with a series of tough Buccaneers "Would You Rather" questions that every fan will have an opinion on. Would you rather get a third-round draft pick for Vita Vea or have the Pro Bowl defensive tackle suit up for the Bucs this season? Would you rather build around three more years of Yaya Diaby or Vita Vea? Who's more important to have a monster season in 2026: Tristan Wirfs or Vita Vea? And finally, would you rather see Antoine Winfield Jr. return to his All-Pro form from 2023 or Baker Mayfield match the outstanding production from his 2024 campaign? TKras gives his answers, Chris Mathis pushes back, and the debate is on.
The first day of Buccaneers training camp featured plenty of headlines before the whistles even blew. TKras dives into the latest surrounding Vita Vea's ongoing situation and why it's become the dominant storyline in Tampa Bay. He also discusses the notable absence of Tristan Wirfs from the opening practice, what it could mean moving forward, and why Baker Mayfield's performance offered an encouraging glimpse of what's ahead. From contract questions to quarterback confidence, get caught up on all the biggest developments from Day 1 of Bucs training camp on The Drive with TKras.
The Buccaneers are back on the practice field, but the biggest story isn't football—it's the ongoing contract drama surrounding Vita Vea. TKras breaks down where things stand, why tensions are rising, and what it could mean for Tampa Bay heading into the season. Plus, All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs was nowhere to be seen for the opening practice, raising even more questions. On the field, though, Baker Mayfield looked sharp, setting the tone for an offense hoping to build on last year's success. It's everything you need to know from Day 1 of Bucs training camp on The Drive with TKras.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially back on the practice field, but training camp opened with more questions than answers. Vita Vea reported after requesting a trade but didn't practice. Baker Mayfield took every first-team rep despite entering a contract year without an extension. Tristan Wirfs missed practice with a hamstring injury, while Bucky Irving looked explosive and Zyon McCollum came away with an interception. We break down everything from Day 1 of Bucs training camp, what Todd Bowles had to say, why Chris Godwin's comments matter, and whether the Buccaneers can keep the contract drama from becoming a season-long distraction.SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS:Download Upside with my link or use my code DAN77949 to get 50¢ per gallon extra cash back on your first gas fill-up and 20% extra cash back on your first restaurant or grocery purchase!

Penei Sewell is an elite NFL offensive tackle, not the 10th-best, as ESPN pundit Mike Clay ranked him. He finished third in pass protection efficiency at 98.2 with only two sacks, six hits, 11 hurries, and 19 total pressures allowed, plus a 95.1 overall and 96.7 run blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. Is ESPN underrating Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell? Yes. Detroit Lions offensive tackle Penei Sewell ranks among the NFL's best, not 10th. As Jeff Risdon noted, Pro Football Focus graded Sewell at 95.1 overall with a 96.7 run blocking grade, and he allowed just two sacks, six quarterback hits, 11 hurries, and 19 total pressures in 2025. Those results track with a 98.2 pass protection efficiency, which placed him third among qualifying tackles. ESPN's ranking leans on a proprietary pass block win rate and on the note that Sewell is moving sides. Risdon acknowledged that switching from right tackle to left tackle is a fair consideration, but he emphasized Sewell has played left tackle in the NFL and handled it well. Every visible performance marker says he belongs at the top tier. Does pass block win rate measure what matters in protection? No. What matters is not losing, and Sewell rarely loses. As Jeff Risdon said, the ESPN metric is subjective and measures “wins,” while pass protection success is about preventing losses. Sewell's 98.2 efficiency shows he prevents losses as well as almost anyone, backed by only 19 total pressures conceded across a 50 percent of 1,294 snaps qualifier pool. Context also matters. Protection can change based on a tight end's alignment, the guard inside, or compensating for interior issues. Risdon pointed out that Detroit often had to shade inside last year because the center struggled, and Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is not mobile under quick pressure. That reality affects how any tackle is scored snap to snap. How should fans view the Detroit Lions offensive line at 19th? As conservative. The unit projects better than 19th even with moving parts. Risdon accepted ESPN's 19th as a defensible output for a formula, noting the Lions have starters at three new positions, but he stated Detroit will outperform that slot. Continuity takes time, but the cornerstone is overwhelming. Sewell's dominance stabilizes the front, and Detroit Lions offensive line coach Hank Fraley can lean on elite edge play while integrating the new starters. That foundation raises the floor and the ceiling for the group. What do the comps say about other top NFL tackles? They reinforce Sewell's standing. In pass protection efficiency, Denver Broncos offensive tackle Garrett Bolles ranked first and New York Giants offensive tackle Andrew Thomas second, with Sewell third at 98.2. Pro Football Focus also showed Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs at 92.7 overall, while Sewell's pass protection grade of 80.3 matched San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Trent Williams and topped San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Colton McKivitz. Risdon added that Sewell's pressure totals were equivalent with Chicago Bears offensive tackle Darnell Wright, and he flagged Detroit Lions offensive tackle Larry Borom appearing in the top 10 for pass rush efficiency as an encouraging pickup. The eye test and the data converge on the same conclusion: Sewell is elite, and Detroit's line trends up from a formulaic 19th. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #peneisewell #espntackleranking #profootballfocus #darnellwright #pff #olrankings #lionsoffensiveline Learn more about your ad choices.

Baker Mayfield has officially cracked the NFL Top 100 at No. 77, and Chris Mathis believes it's a sign that the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are earning more respect across the league.
