This week in Buccaneers talk

The shows are pretty bullish on the Buccaneers this year, with most picking them to win the NFC South. A lot of the optimism centers on their defensive front, particularly new edge rusher Ruben Bain Jr., who multiple hosts are picking for defensive rookie of the year. There's also talk about Baker Mayfield having something to prove on a healthy offensive line, and overall confidence that Tampa Bay's roster is talented enough to compete in the division.

Written by The Cutdown's reader from this week's clips.

12 clips · 41 min. Some clips only play in the app.

In this week's clips: Baker Mayfield, Bryce Young, Ruben Bain Jr., Vita Vea, Yaya Diaby, Rueben Bain Jr., Calijah Kancey, Walter Nolen III.
