Locked On Bucs – Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

James is joined by WTSP 10 Tampa Bay's Evan Closky to dive into all things Buccaneers this week as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have an opportunity to secure the NFC South crown this week with a win over the Buffalo Bills - as well as with some help from some other teams around the NFL. What are the scenarios for the Bucs to win the division and what are the scenarios for the Bucs to just come out of Week 14 with a playoff berth. One is much easier to accomplish but which of those two is it?

Speaking of the Buffalo Bills, they are coming off a horrendous display on Monday Night Football against the New England Patriots where they lost 14-10. Mac Jones threw just three passes against the Bills while the Patriots running backs ran for over 200 yards. Why should the Bucs be wary of Buffalo this week? Are they still the dominant team many believed them to be early in the season? Or have the recent struggles and inconsistencies changed the minds of Buffalo believers? And what can Josh Allen's fantasy football trends tell us about what to expect on Sunday?

Finally, as he does every Wednesday, Evan gives his player of the game, score, and bold predictions as the Bucs look to win their fourth consecutive game and propel themselves to a 10-3 record while staying in the hunt for the number one seed in the NFC.

Behind wide receiver Chris Godwin's franchise record-setting 15 reception day and three touchdown passes from quarterback Tom Brady to tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Cam Brate, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers upended the Atlanta Falcons, 30-17.

With the win, Tampa Bay takes a four-game lead in the NFC South with just five games remaining in the season.

The Buccaneers defense was victimized by Atlanta wide receiver Russell Gage who had a great individual performance, but their five sacks of Matt Ryan (Ndamukong Suh 2, Vita Vea 2, Cam Gill 1) helped pave the way to one of the most critical plays of the day.

In this episode, James Yarcho and David Harrison go over the decision to throw back-to-back screen passes resulting in a pick-six by Falcons defensive lineman Marlon Davidson, and how the Bucs bounced back to complete a multi-score win. Their ninth of the 2021 NFL Season.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Atlanta Falcons face off for part two of their 2021 regular-season series.

Can the Falcons get revenge?

If they do, Aaron Freeman of the Locked On Falcons Podcast will tell us how it happens as he joins David Harrison to discuss this weekend's NFC South Divisional contest.

For Tampa Bay, getting complimentary football for 60 minutes has to be the focus.

While Atlanta will likely try to get tight end Kyle Pitts and running back Cordarelle Patterson working early, the Buccaneers will need to rely on linebackers Devin White and Lavonte David for containment to stifle the opposing attack.

Of course, injuries always play a role in these capabilities, so we discuss the latest updates from both the Bucs and Falcons, as we found out wide receiver Antonio Brown will not only miss this game, but will likely be out for more.

Finally, who wins this matchup? David and Aaron share their thoughts on the 11 1/2 point line that has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers favored to win over the Atlanta Falcons!

It's a WTSP Wednesday! Evan Closky of 10 Tampa Bay rejoins the show after a week off to talk about the Buccaneers beating the Indianapolis Colts and what that win means moving forward for a team that has struggled on the road throughout the 2021 NFL season. For Tampa Bay, the win harkens back to a pivotal point in 2020 and we get Evan's thoughts on whether history is about to repeat itself or not.

A few listeners called in to ask some questions including whether or not the upcoming divisional matchup with the Atlanta Falcons falls into the category of a trap game. Evan also answers a caller that brought up that the Buccaneers are all but guaranteed a spot in the playoffs at this point so when should the team begin to think about resting players. Given the injuries to high profile players like Carlton Davis, Sean Murphy-Bunting, Rob Gronkowski, Richard Sherman, Vita Vea, and Antonio Brown, should the Bucs focus on the end game rather than the final stretch of the regular season?

Finally, Evan drops his player of the game, bold, and score predictions for the game coming up in Atlanta against the Falcons as the Buccaneers look to get one step closer to winning their first division title since 2007.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers corner Jamel Dean left the week twelve game against the Indianapolis Colts in the first quarter due to injury. On Monday, Bruce Arians told the media the MRI revealed no structural damage and that Dean could play as much as his pain tolerance would allow. That's big news for the Bucs' secondary who just got Sean Murphy-Bunting back and have Carlton Davis on the way.

It's a Takeaway Tuesday, so we give our biggest reactions to the game that was as well as look a little into the future. We dive into the Buccaneers' play calling on the offensive side of the ball - something fans have not been thrilled with, but is that reaction results oriented or fantasy football oriented?. There are also the discussions of the Bucs' third down defense that struggled against the Indianapolis Colts, how Sunday could be remembered as a statement win as well as a turning point, and how to avoid an Admiral Ackbar situation this week against the Falcons.

On top of all this, there are some listener voicemails sprinkled in as fans continue to react to the win in Indianapolis that has the Buccaneers sitting at 8-3 ahead of a divisional matchup in week thirteen.

In Week 12, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers recorded their eighth win of the season defeating the Indianapolis Colts, 38-31.

Leonard Fournette led the Tampa Bay offense with 100 yards on the ground, another 31 through the air, and four touchdowns combined. Tight end Rob Gronkowski continued to be one of Tom Brady's favorite targets, hauling in seven passes for 123-yards in the winning effort.

On defense, the Buccaneers secured four takeaways for the team, and the special teams unit added a fifth to help secure the win.

The unit, led by Lavonte David and Vita Vea also helped to contain league-leading running back, Jonathan Taylor, for most of the afternoon.

Shaquil Barrett's strip-sack of Colts quarterback Carson Wentz proved to be a turning point in the contest, and Antoine Winfield Jr.'s interception over Indianapolis wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. put the comeback in full motion.

After the win, the Bucs now have a three-game lead in the NFC South Division and are third in the NFC Playoff race.

With Vita Vea and Devin White back at practice on Thursday it would appear the Buccaneers are ready to go on the defensive side of the ball in the quest to shut down the NFL's top rushing threat = Jonathan Taylor of the Indianapolis Colts. The Bucs have some other good news/bad news situations on the injury front but then again so doe Indianapolis. The Colts appear to be in danger of missing their best offensive lineman - guard Quinten Nelson - and their best defensive player Darius Leonard has been limited thus far. Something to keep an eye on moving into the weekend.

The semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame were announced this week and Tampa Bay Buccaneers legend Ronde Barber made the cut yet again. Is this the year Barber gets his gold jacket? Or will he get a gold jacket at all? James and David discuss that as well as looking at the resume of pass rusher Simeon Rice. Rice has had a groundswell of support to get into the Hall but does he have the numbers to do so? And if he's Pro Football Hall of Fame worthy, why isn't he in the Bucs' Ring of Honor?

Finally, we take a look at the keys to the game, give our bold predictions, player of the game predictions, and score predictions as the Buccaneers look to move to 8-3 while the Colts strive to stay in the hunt for the AFC South title.
