Tanking? Rebuilding? The Bucs Aren’t Ready to Quit on 2026

Rock Riley starts with the latest on Reuben Bain Jr. after Todd Bowles announced the young pass rusher will not play Friday night, then turns to the Vita Vea holdout and what it could mean for Tampa Bay’s future. A caller argues that the situation could be the first sign of a rebuild, prompting Rock and Tim to debate the Bucs’ direction, the weakness of the NFC South and whether tanking makes any sense. Tim remains Mr. Positive, while Rock lands somewhere between skepticism and optimism.
