Bucs-Jaguars Joint Practice Preview, Baker's Revenge Game Takes Shape, and the Rays Win 78th Game
from Sports Day Tampa Bay
Reporting live from Jacksonville ahead of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ joint practices with the Jaguars, Rick Stroud and Steve Versnick recap the shaky tackle depth behind Baker Mayfield in the preseason opener and preview what to watch as the Bucs get real practice reps against Liam Cohen's similarly-schemed offense. They dig back into the Jalon Daniels debate — why his string of strong preseason relief outings still shouldn't make him QB2 over veteran Jake Browning — and break down the wild news out of Cleveland, where Todd Monken named Deshaun Watson the Week 1 starter over Shedeur Sanders, setting up a loaded Week 2 matchup when the Browns visit Tampa Bay and Baker Mayfield faces the quarterback who effectively pushed him out of Cleveland. Rick also weighs in on the arrest of 49ers owner Jed York and what it means for accountability at the ownership level.On the Rays, Drew Rasmussen and Nick Martinez keep building Cy Young cases with back-to-back dominant starts, and closer Bryan Baker pushed his save total to 38 as Tampa Bay knocked off Detroit behind some old-school, back-to-back bunt small ball. At 78-53, the Rays have already topped last year's win total with 31 games still to play. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
