On this episode of The Frozen Pirate Podcast, we start with Mike Evans’ injury — a major blow to the offense and what it means long-term for a receiver chasing his 11th straight 1,000-yard season. What does his absence mean for this team’s identity and Baker Mayfield’s rhythm with the offense?
Then we move into midseason grades — offense, defense, and coaching. What’s working, what’s not, and where the Buccaneers need to tighten up to stay in control of the NFC South.
Next up — the trade deadline. Should Tampa Bay be buyers, sellers, or stay put heading into the second half of the season? We’ll break down which moves make sense and which would do more harm than good.
We’ll also revisit the last two games — the loss to the Lions and the bounce-back win over the Saints — and what they revealed about this team’s mentality heading into the bye.
Finally, we’ll look ahead to the upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots and what adjustments Todd Bowles needs to make for the Bucs to start their post-bye stretch strong.
Plus — we’re bringing back “State of the South” with Ralph from Damn YouToo Sports Talk, breaking down where every team in the NFC South stands and who’s really built to last.
