Baker Mayfield Shares His Zac Robinson Excitement

January 29th, 2026

The Bucs’ franchise quarterback is fired up! And no, he wasn’t talking contract extension.

Tampa Bay’s new offensive coordinator, Zac Robinson from the Sean McVay coaching tree, has Baker Mayfield thinking about how much more aggressive the Bucs’ offense will be this season, so he told the WFLA streaming show known as The Rondé Barber Show.

Barber asked Mayfield to name what McVay plays the Rams use that Mayfield wants to seee more of Tampa.

“There’s just some more, he calls it ‘keepers, boots,’ whatever you want to call it,” Mayfield said, referring to Robinson. “Some of that stuff, and just the under-center play-action. And obviously, it was hard last year without our starting five [offensive] linemen all playing at once.

“It’s hard to settle the marriage of the run and pass, but this is something that I know Zac is going to live and die by the sword. So just being able to run some of the play-action stuff and attack team downhill with the run game on top of that. We need to be more aggressive and Zac hit on that; we’re always going to play aggressive, be the attacker. And that’s the mindset with [Robinson, Sean McVay and Liam Coen]; they’re trying to guy you anytime they step on the field.”

Mayfield noted how he and Robinson have stayed in touch for years and he loves everything that the McVay tree and coaches represent after spending one-third of a season there in 2022 with Robinson as his QB coach.

“I think that’s what I realized when I got to L.A. This is the kind of system, these are the kinds of coaches I want to be around — that are truly going to adapt to the personnel, to what the guys’ strengths are and go from there,” Mayfield said.

If Mayfield is happy, then Joe is happy. That QB-OC relationship is arguably the most important on the team.

    Same old tired article about the OC and Baker being in lock step.
    I remember countless Grizzard articles after the failed 2024 season.
    Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
    3rd and 28
    Same old tired comment. Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Todd Bowles is still here. Feel free to call Bucs headquarters whenever you choose to comment here. –Joe

    About to post a post that is being reported that Mike Evans will leave the Bucs.

    “ 𝗥𝗨𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗦: People around the NFL expect Mike Evans to move on from the Bucs this offseason, per @TonyPauline

    “Those I’ve spoken with over the past week believe it’s less than 50-50 the veteran wideout re-signs with Tampa and that his career with the Buccaneers is likely finished. He’d like to go to a contender and win another title.”

  5. Mhystc Says:

    Can’t see big Mike in another uniform.

  6. BucFanDMV Says:

    I have no issue with Evans trying to get another ring before he retires. It is very difficult for WR’s to get into the hall of fame as we all see with Torry Holt still waiting. Mike has earned the right to go out on his own terms, I would hate to see him go but I understand it, the Bucs in our current state are not contenders.

    If the Bucs can hit on three OCs in four years that’s a hell of a batting average. Feeling good about getting Baker on the move more. Too few boots were called last year and that’s his strength. Now about that D, anybody heard from Schwartz lately?

    Joe…. just think you and the rest of us have another 6 to 7 months of these morons comments. Appreciate the articles, let the haters – hate.

    =======================================
    That’s right, Mayfield is “coddled”, especally when he lowers his shoulder to pick up a first down after scrambling. 813bucboi, go drink another 12 pack and get lost.
