Thanks for helping the powers that be understand that there will be no fans unless the architect of lifelessness is “retired.”

A lot of little nuggets! Yes, “hope” and “energy” are the words going into this game and for future changes. Still rooting for a win on Saturday.
In agreement about number 7. Feel bad for him, however I think after he got hurt last season things haven’t been the same for him. Needed to always use Tucker and White more too.
Special Teams has never been held answerable for their mess. Injuries have been an avoidance of accountability. Miami had injuries during the last game, and they still played with force and for the win.
I am sorry to say; if the Bucs do a full rebuild, they may need to look at the medical, trainers, dietician, and other areas too. And I believe that falls on the shoulders of the owners, GM, and a little bit on the coach of who they bring in.

Not that this defense was firing all cylinders before but does Reddick have anything to do with the defensive collapse at all? Is he having a negative influence on the defensive players? Just spit balling. I’m not in the locker room like the Joes.

All the years listening and this is the first time I’ve ever heard Steve so disappointed and mad at the Bucs. Usually sits back and lets the other 2 go at it. I loved it and his take on everything. One of your best podcast I think!
I would love to hear which 2 Bucs are done and checked out though.

Part of becoming a better football player is film study. It’s just as important as lifting weights. If players have checked out they aren’t studying film. Write their names down and cut THEM ALL at the end of the season. THAT WOULD SEND A MESSAGE. Same as not working out. If people aren’t lifting they aren’t maintaining or getting stronger. CUT THEM! They are being paid millions of dollars to play against the best players in the world and you can damn well bet they are lifting. And frequently.

Someone was laying down on the field before the Bucs first play from scrimmage against the cardinals. Does anyone know who that was and why?

Jon Gruden HC and Rod Marinelli DC and keep Tom Moore as offensive assistant for 2026. I believe if these changes are made, this team with a few roster changes could be SB contenders in 2026. Division Champs out of the worst division in NFL is not good enough anymore. Go Bucs!!!

I think that was Tykee Smith. This occurred before the Bucs’ first offensive possession from scrimmage, following a defensive series. Shoulder/neck stinger if I recall.
