·59 min·5 clips

The Buccaneers' offensive line is decimated, guaranteeing they won't field their intended starting five all season.

The episode begins with hosts Rhett Matthew and Evan Wanish introducing guest Ian from Jet Central to preview the Buccaneers versus Jets Week 3 game. They immediately address the Buccaneers' injury woes, noting offensive linemen Cody Malk is out for the season and Luke Gedeke is on injured reserve, while Tristan Wirfs remains sidelined. The discussion shifts to the Jets, where quarterback Justin Fields is out with a concussion, leading to Tyrod Taylor starting. Ian explains that Taylor's veteran experience and ability to protect the football could benefit the Jets against Todd Bowles' defense. The hosts analyze historical trends, noting the Buccaneers' poor Week 3 record and the challenge of facing a backup quarterback. Ian provides insight into the Jets' offensive line, praising rookie tackle Armand Membu for his performance against TJ Watt. The conversation covers the Jets' defensive struggles, particularly against the run, and how the Buccaneers might exploit this with running backs Bucky Irving and Rachaad White. They discuss the impact of Buccaneers injuries on their offensive game plan and the need for creative play-calling from coordinator Josh Grizzard. Ian shares his thoughts on new Jets head coach Aaron Glenn's leadership and the cultural changes he's implementing. The episode concludes with score predictions: Rhett predicts a 21-17 Buccaneers win, Evan predicts 20-17 Buccaneers, and Ian predicts a 20-16 Jets victory.
