The Drive w/TKras

FOX Sports' Greg Auman joins TKras for a deep dive into everything happening with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as training camp heats up!

The Bucs just wrapped up a wild first joint practice with the New York Jets, featuring plenty of competition, multiple fights and some intriguing takeaways on both sides of the ball. What did Greg see from Tampa Bay? What matters — and what doesn't — when it comes to joint practices?

TKras and Greg also get into the bigger picture surrounding the Bucs: Baker Mayfield, the defense, Todd Bowles, the young talent, roster battles and the biggest questions facing this team heading into 2026.

Most importantly, what should Bucs fans really know about this team right now? Are they ready to make a run in the NFC South, and what could ultimately determine whether Tampa Bay gets back to the playoffs?

Things got HEATED between the Buccaneers and Jets at Tuesday’s joint practice in New Jersey — with multiple fights breaking out and Luke Goedeke right in the middle of the action.

TKras breaks down what happened, why the intensity boiled over, and the biggest question for Bucs fans: Is this a problem, or is this exactly the kind of competitive edge you want to see before the season?

Goedeke joins the show to discuss the confrontation with Jets rookie David Bailey, what sparked the altercation and whether there’s anything more to make of the chaos. Plus, what can Tampa Bay actually take away from a practice that featured plenty of fireworks — but also some important football reps?

TKras and Chris Mathis go head-to-head in Take It or Leave It, tackling some of the biggest questions facing the Buccaneers heading into the 2026 season.

Will Baker Mayfield be the Bucs’ quarterback beyond 2026 — no matter what happens this season? If Tampa Bay makes the playoffs, should Todd Bowles be guaranteed another year? And should the Bucs even consider trading Vita Vea if they can get significant value in return?

Plus, the guys debate whether Vita is the most important player on the defense outside of Antoine Winfield Jr., whether a Pro Bowl season would force Tampa Bay to make Baker one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks, which rookie will make the biggest impact between Rueben Bain Jr. and Josiah Trotter, and whether the Bucs have enough talent right now to win the NFC South.

And we can't leave the Rays out of it: Are they the best team in the American League right now?

It's a full slate of bold takes, strong opinions and plenty of disagreement. Take it or leave it!

The Rays were down 6-2 and looked like they were headed for a frustrating loss—but then came the eighth inning. Tampa Bay erupted for eight runs, capped by Junior Caminero’s three-run blast and a relentless rally that turned a four-run deficit into a 10-6 victory over the Athletics.

On this episode of TKras, we break down what that comeback really tells us about this Rays team. Is it simply a wild August win, or is it another sign of a team with the depth, confidence and resilience to make noise when the games matter most? From Caminero’s growing impact to the lineup’s ability to keep battling, this comeback says plenty about the identity of these Rays.

The big question: What should this win tell you about Tampa Bay heading down the stretch?
