On this episode of the RBLR Bucs Podcast, the guys discuss the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ recent 44-32 loss to the Buffalo Bills and look ahead to their upcoming game against Rams.
Here’s a breakdown of the key topics:
Defensive Concerns
The guys express worry about the Buccaneers’ defense, especially after recent struggles against strong quarterbacks like Josh Allen. They question if the trend will continue against the Rams’ potent offense.
Jamal Dean and Benjamin Morrison
We discuss Jamal Dean’s injury and his improved performance this season, attributing some of his success to a rotation with rookie Benjamin Morrison. They also talk about Morrison’s struggles as a rookie and the importance of playing time for his development.
Sean Tucker and the Running Game
We are encouraged by Sean Tucker’s performance against the Bills, especially with Bucky still out. The krewe advocates for Tucker to be the primary running back, citing his upside and Rashad White’s limitations as a traditional runner. We also briefly touch upon the controversy surrounding Tucker’s tweet after the game.
Carolina Panthers and Michael Penix
Then we discuss the Panthers as a potential threat in the division, highlighting Dave Canales’ coaching, Rico Dowell’s resurgence, and Bryce Young’s development. They also express sympathy for Michael Pennix’s ACL injury and the Falcons’ quarterback situation with Kurt Cousins stepping in.
Rams Offense and Defense
We believe the Rams as a top-three team in the NFL, highlighting Puka Nacua as an elite wide receiver despite injury concerns. They also discuss the Rams’ solid defense, particularly their defensive line and standout players like Byron Young and Kobe Turner.
MVP Race
We dive into the NFL MVP conversation, suggesting Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson as contenders. They strongly argue that Jonathan Taylor deserves the MVP award this year, especially if a non-quarterback were to win, criticizing the award’s current quarterback-centric nature.
Weekly Over/Under
Finally, we make our weekly prediction, with one going under and the other over on Sean Tucker’s rushing yards per carry against the Rams’ tough run defense.
