Shaq Barrett Is OUT | Brady And Gronk Connection Broken? | Buccaneers Are Ready For The Road Ahead
12/28/21 • 35 min
Buccaneers' sack leader Shaquil Barrett is out for the remainder of the regular season as injuries continue to pile up for the Buccaneers. On top of that, they are now dealing with Covid issues between WR coach Kevin Carver and star receiver Mike Evans placed on the reserve/Covid list. However, the NFL is beginning to implement some changes to their Covid protocol and the CDC announced some changes that might impact the NFL. Mike Evans could play this Sunday if his hamstring allows.
We get a question on the voicemail line that asks a simple question - after the struggles the past few weeks, what is going on with the Tom Brady to Rob Gronkowski connection? The two have not been able to hook up for plays against the Saints and Panthers, so is this another cause for concern heading into the final two games of the regular season and into the playoffs?
Finally, James gives his big takeaway from the week as he rewinds the clock to 2020 and compares the difficult road the Bucs traveled there on their way to a Super Bowl title and sees how it stacks up against the 2021 team. One road was tougher, but one road has its share of bumps. Can the Bucs catch lightning in a bottle again?

Buccaneers Clinch NFC South | Jordan Whitehead Frustrates Panthers
The hats and t-shirts were broken out as the Bucs beat the Panthers 32-6 to clinch the NFC South for the first time since 2007. Ke'Shawn Vaughn, Ronald Jones, Antonio Brown, and Jordan Whitehead were big contributors to the win and the Buccaneers have guaranteed themselves a home playoff game for the first time since that last division title. We dive into how it all played out for the Bucs - and wonder why the Panthers kept rotating quarterbacks with virtually no rhyme or reason to any of the moves when they were made.
Benny calls in from Los Angeles and asks some questions regarding the concern over the offense given the loss of weapons recently and the Buccaneers' struggles to find the end zone against Carolina. He's also curious about if something isn't right with the Bucs inside the facility that is leading to what seems like a huge influx in injuries for Tampa Bay this season - especially some high profile names.
James gives his play and players of the game and since David isn't here, we give a game ball to one offensive and one defensive player this week with plenty of stellar performances to choose from.

Bruce Arians, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Jamel Dean Test Positive | Leftwich and Bowles Have Interest From Jags | Remembering John Madden
The Jacksonville Jaguars, in their search to replace Urban Meyer, have reached out to the Buccaneers for permission to speak with both offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and defensive coordinator Todd Bowles about the vacancy. Leftwich has obvious connections to the team as he was their first round pick and quarterback for many years while Bowles is looking for an opportunity to redeem himself from his stint as head coach of the New York Jets. That said, would either one be interested in joining one of the most dysfunctional organizations in the league?
Bruce Arians announced he tested positive for Covid and will not be at the game Sunday against the Jets. Joining Arians as well as Mike Evans are cornerbacks Jamel Dean and Sean Murphy-Bunting who each tested positive. Who is going to step in to replace them? Or will they actually be able to play thanks to the NFL's new protocols announced on Tuesday.
Finally, we step away from the world of Buccaneers football to remember a legend. John Madden, a legend in the world of football, passed away on Tuesday morning. Some know him as a coach, some a broadcaster, some as a guy that the video game is named after. Regardless, we take time to honor who John Madden was and what he meant to so many.
