Locked On Bucs – Daily Podcast On The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday night football, but it wasn't without more problems. The Buccaneers lost cornerback Richard Sherman to a hamstring injury and we have a caller on the show that voices his concern about the secondary continuing to be battered and bruised.

Normally we give our biggest takeaways on Tuesdays but we dive into those now. For starters, with the coaching upheaval in Las Vegas, there are some names on the Bucs staff that could become top targets and candidates for the Las Vegas Raiders' Head Coach position after the 2021 season.

What if we told you that Mike Evans was no longer the top wide receiver on the team? The numbers are pretty revealing that what James told you about starting in August is beginning to come to fruition - and with no signs of slowing down. Even with one fewer game played than Evans or Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown is now leading the team in targets for Tom Brady. All three receivers are close in terms of receptions and yards, but AB seems to be Brady's go-to guy when he's on the field.

Ronald Jones may be looking out for his future after the season and it isn't out of the realm of possibility that 2021 will be the last season we see RoJo in a Buccaneers uniform. The more Leonard Fournette asserts himself as the top guy, the more likely it is that RoJo is out the door.

Forget the Arizona Cardinals being undefeated or the Buffalo Bills looking to be unstoppable - the Bucs are still the best team in football and it isn't particularly close. The Locked On Bucs Podcast explains why.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers finally had a strong primetime showing in their Week 6 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday Night Football.

Playing in Philly, the Bucs came away with a 28-22 win thanks in large part to the rushing and receiving of running back, Leonard Fournette.

With 127 all-purpose yards, Fournette led the way while quarterback Tom Brady was up to his usual strong showing, throwing for 297 yards and two touchdowns en route to a 102.1 quarterback rating, with one interception.

The leading receiver of the game for the Bucs was wide receiver Antonio Brown who brought in nine of his 13 targets for 93 yards and one score.

Fantasy football players who have Mike Evans on their roster will wake up disappointed as the star receiver had just two catches on four targets for 27 yards. Meanwhile, Chris Godwin had a better night with five catches on five targets and 43 yards, although zero touchdowns are sure to disappoint some.

Tampa Bay won't be flying home disappointed, and defensive tackle Vita Vea continued his All-Pro caliber season with a dominating performance that won't show up on the stat sheet (three tackles and one sack) as impressively as the film will show.

One victim of Vea's strong play was Eagles running back Miles Sanders who ran for 56 yards on nine carries, but had one potential gain halted in its tracks by a very impressive play from the Buccaneers defensive tackle.

Philadelphia quarterback Jalen Hurts struggled to find a rhythm in the passing game after his first drive produced a touchdown, and completed less than half of his 26 pass attempts, throwing for 115 yards, one touchdown, and one interception.

The primetime matchup to watch heading into the night was Fournette and Eagles wide receiver, Quez Watkins. While his team didn't get the win, Watson led his team with 44 yards receiving, catching three of his five targets.

After the rise of 'Playoff Lenny', 'Lombardi Lenny', and the recent discovery of 'Regular Season Lenny', Fournette's 'Primetime Lenny' was a welcome change to usual Tampa Bay football under the lights.

Something fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will hope continues, when the team hosts Justin Fields and the Chicago Bears, in Week 7.

With Thursday Night Football kicking off the NFL Week 6 festivities with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles squaring off in Philly, David Harrison of Locked On Bucs and Gino Cammilleri of Locked On Eagles joined forces to preview the primetime matchup!

Final injury reports are in hand, and all that's left is to get the game started. For Tampa Bay, they'll be without star players like linebacker Lavonte David, tight end Rob Gronkowski, and safety, Antoine Winfield Jr.

Tom Brady was on the injury report all week, but was listed as a full participant and is good to go for Week 6. As are wide receiver Antonio Brown and cornerback Jamel Dean, among others.

For the Eagles, an up and down start to the year has seen big days from both the offense and defense, and slow days for each as well. Typically, they come in different weeks with each unit alternating which one shows up, and which one needs picking up.

Last week in a win over the Carolina Panthers, it was the defense, and not quarterback Jalen Hurts' offense, which led them to victory over Tampa Bay's NFC South rival.

While Bucs fans are certainly thankful for their contributions in Week 5, the aim is to leave Week 6 with another victory, the team's fifth of the season.

Doing so would not only add another notch in the win column, it would also grow the confidence of a team that is currently one of the more injury bitten at this point in the season.

A key player who could help the Buccaneers to this week's victory is running back Leonard Fournette.

Fournette dominated the Miami Dolphins defense this past Sunday, and while Bucs fans have been celebrating his emergence as the top running back on the team, the national audience has yet to catch up to this excitement.

A big game on Thursday night from Fournette could change all that.

For the Eagles, they'll be looking to fast-rising wide receiver Quez Watkins as they enter the contest relatively healthy, only missing offensive tackle Lane Johnson due to a personal matter.

Although, they could be without tight end Dallas Goedert, who still has a slight chance of playing at the time of this report.

For Tampa Bay fans expecting an easy win, they may find themselves shocked at what the Eagles have to offer. But as long as the Bucs come out on top, they'll get another week to celebrate their team being one of the best in the NFL.

Not something many are used to, yet.

Tom Brady and Jalen Hurts bring the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles to the field on Thursday night, to get the NFL's Week 6, underway.

As the Tampa Bay Buccaneers turn the page towards Week 6 against the Philadelphia Eagles, we get our first injury report of the new week.

Lavonte David, Rob Gronkowski, Ryan Jensen, Tom Brady, Chris Godwin, Jason Pierre-Paul, Giovani Bernard, Antonio Brown, Jamel Dean, and Ryan Succop headline a star-studded injury report for the Bucs.

For the Eagles, Derek Barnett, Dallas Goedert, Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce, Jordan Mailata, and Landon Dickerson all start the week on the injury report as well.

It's not likely all of those contributors will miss time for the Buccaneers, but it's equally likely they'll have to play on a short week without at least a couple of them.

All of this is beginning to set the stage Tom Brady will lead the Tampa Bay offense back onto the field, looking for yet another personal best for two weeks in a row, and another piece of NFL history.

With four touchdown passes on Thursday night, Brady would become the first quarterback in NFL history to reach 600 career touchdown passes.

Helping him reach that milestone are three star wide receivers (Mike Evans, Godwin, and Brown) who need under 60-yards a game each to give the Bucs three 1,000-yard receivers in 2021.

As the Tampa Bay offense starts looking more and more like the late 2020 version which helped carry the team to a Super Bowl win, another big performance in Week 6 would give a big jump in confidence this team can weather all the injuries it's suffered thus far.

They won't be pushing the Buccaneers towards victory alone, but it's nice to know a team can lean on their offense to score in bunches when the defense needs them to. Still, a lot of credit should be given to Todd Bowles and his position coaches, for producing a defense that has held three of their five opponents to 25 points or less this season, despite the laundry list of injuries suffered on that side of the ball.

We talk about all of this, and more, on today's episode of the Locked On Bucs Podcast!

James Yarcho and David Harrison host the top-ranked podcast on the Apple Podcast charts focused on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their pursuit for another Super Bowl title in the 2021-2022 NFL Season!

In Week 5 of the 2021 NFL Season, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defeated the Miami Dolphins by a score of 45-17.

Quarterback Tom Brady's 411 yards on 30 of 41 passing and five touchdowns not only led his team to victory, it set a personal career-best notching his first win with over 400-yards throwing and five or more touchdowns.

Wide receiver Antonio Brown played a big role in that production and set an NFL record himself becoming the fastest NFL wide receiver to 900 receptions, doing so in 143 games. The previous best was 149 games, a mark set by Marvin Harrison of the Indianapolis Colts.

Brown brought in a total of seven receptions, for 124 yards, and two touchdowns in this game.

Joining Brown in the end zone on Sunday was wide receiver Mike Evans and running back Leonard Fournette. Evans finished with two touchdowns, while Fournette had one to go along with his 5.6 yards per carry average.

On the defensive side of the ball, linebacker Devin White led the team with eight tackles while Shaquil Barrett led the way with 1.5 sacks, including a big strip-sack of Dolphins quarterback, Jacoby Brissett.

Defensive tackle Vita Vea also got in on the sack party, notching half a sack, while linebacker Lavonte David also tallied a sack for the Buccaneers.

Not all good news, unfortunately, as David left the game with a high ankle sprain, leaving his status on Thursday Night Football against the Philadelphia Eagles, in question.

In the win, the Bucs offense converted 73 percent of their third downs (8/11) and held the Dolphins to a 26 percent conversion rate (2/7) while dominating time of possession by nearly 15 minutes.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers improved to 4-1 on the year, and now look towards Week 6, and a road game against Jalen Hurts, Devonta Smith, and the Philadelphia Eagles.

James Yarcho and David Harrison host the top-ranked podcast on the Apple Podcast charts focused on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their pursuit for another Super Bowl title in the 2021-2022 NFL Season!

On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers placed cornerback Carlton Davis III on injured reserve ahead of their Week 5 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. On today's episode of the Locked On Bucs Podcast, we dive into that move and the rest of Thursday's injure report for Tampa Bay and Miami.

Then, Tom Brady is coming out with a new media project soon. Get the details and thoughts on the GOAT's newest venture, today.

After that, James and David go down the list of their favorite prop bets from BetOnline.ag and choose sides. Total scores, touchdowns, and more are on the table for our hosts to pick from.

Finally, we discuss why Leonard Fournette and Mike Edwards are slated to be the key players in a Buccaneers win, make some bold predictions, and give our final thoughts on who will win this Week 5 contest, and the score they'll reach to do so.

Along the way, members of Bucs Nation call in and share their thoughts and questions. One wants to know about free-agent cornerback options if Jason Licht and the Buccaneers look to add to Richard Sherman with more additions after injuries to Davis, Jamel Dean, Sean Murphy-Bunting, and safety, Antoine Winfield Jr.

We also hear from another Bucs fan about the future of tight end O.J. Howard. With Rob Gronkowski’s injury and the presence of Cam Brate, does it make sense to keep Howard or trade him once Gronk is back in playing shape?

Our final look at this weekend's game, and a lot of fun conversations to be had, on the Locked On Bucs Podcast!
