Listen Now

Ken and Leo spent the last episode discussing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offseason changes, but they avoided talking about one specific topic. Darrelle Revis. So for this episode, the guys talk about the decision to cut Darrelle Revis after failed attempts to trade him. Where do the Bucs go from here without one of the best players of this generation? Did the Buccaneers make the right move in simply cutting Revis? Have they done enough with other free agent signings to make up for losing the best player at corner in the NFL? If you thought Ken sounded upset in the last episode, just wait until you listen to this one!

Ken and Leo are back to discuss all of the changes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers now that the initial flurry of roster moves have been made during the 2014 free agency frenzy. The guys consider the addition of Michael Johnson, and if he can be the elite pass rusher that Lovie Smith wants in his defense. Can Clinton McDonald give the Buccaneers their money's worth as an interior disruption on passing downs? They also consider Alterraun Verner, and while not comparing him to any previous Buccaneers (that comes in another podcast), the guys discuss the playmaking ability and contract of the Bucs' newest defensive back. (Note: This podcast was recorded before Evan Dietrich-Smith was signed.) (Note: Discussion of Darrelle Revis and the impact of his departure will happen on the next podcast.)

Ben Natan of WithTheFirstPick.com joined Leo for a special episode of the podcast to discuss the NFL Draft and some of the prospects that he likes, and doesn't like in this year's class. The guys begin by discussing the top quarterbacks in this draft, as Ben reveals the one quarterback (and only one quarterback) he'd take with a top-10 pick. Ben and Leo then discuss the other options the Buccaneers will have at the seventh spot in the draft. Can Khalil Mack fit the Buccaneers' defense? Which tackle is better, Jake Matthews or Greg Robinson? And is Sammy Watkins a sure-fire star in the NFL who is ready to have an "elite" impact? Finally, the guys discuss some of Ben's favorite mid to late round players, to give you some insight into some less-talked about players who may surprise you in the NFL.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers unveiled a new logo and helmet this past week, but as Ken and Leo discuss on this episode of the podcast, that won't be the last change the Buccaneers make this summer. Discussions are raging on among Buccaneer fans about Donald Penn, Carl Nicks, Davin Joseph and the Buccaneers' offensive line. What do the guys think about the disappointing front line for the 2013 Bucs? Ken and Leo discuss Penn's level of play, Joseph's contract and Carl Nicks' injury status, and look ahead to the NFL Draft and if adding a left tackle via the draft makes sense.

Ken and Leo are back with another episode of the podcast, and they kick things off by discussing the teams' upcoming logo/helmet change. Will the current uniform be a "throwback?" by the end of the week? As for the rest of the podcast, we will issue this warning. There will be Mike Glennon talk. A lot of it. And it's not positive. What do the Buccaneers have in Mike Glennon, and what are others seeing in him that the writers of The Pewter Plank don't? Given some recent praise for Glennon by other media outlets, the guys give their honest take on the Bucs' starting quarterback. Bruce Gradkowski, Bucco Bruce and Blaine Gabbert all make an appearance on this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast.

It's been a relatively busy week in Tampa Bay as the Buccaneers have made some moves, and the Pewter Plank podcast is back to discuss it all. Ken and Leo begin the discussion by talking about Sammy Watkins, one of the most talked about draft prospects for the Buccaneers this season. Is he really the answer for the Buccaneers' offense? Or is he just another Troy Williamson? The guys also take a moment to discuss the Mike Williams situation. What's his future with the Buccaneers? And finally, they break the news that happened this week, and discuss the release of Gabe Carimi and Derek Landri, and the signing of Mike Kafka.

In this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast, Ken and Leo discuss the Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks and how the Buccaneers can build a strong team like the Seahawks and make a run at a title. How does the Tampa Bay defense compare to Seattle's? And in the areas where the Buccaneers lack, how do they reach the level of the Seahawks? The guys talk about Russell Wilson, Mike Glennon, roster changes and Michael Vick. All this and more in this episode of the Pewter Plank podcast.

It's been a while since the last podcast, so Ken and Leo take some time to recap all of the news relating to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The guys discuss the new general manager, Jason Licht, and consider what his addition will mean to the team. How will he work with new head coach Lovie Smith? The guys also run through the defense, and consider the future at every position. Will there be changes on defense under a new head coach, and where do the Buccaneers need the biggest upgrade? Finally, the guys give their Super Bowl picks, and talk about a prop bet that Ken believes will be sure to win.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new coach, and the new GM has yet to be announced. So Ken and Leo have begun the process of looking back on the 2013 season, and considering where the Bucs must improve to raise their record from 4-12. The guys talk about the players on offense who are set to return, and which ones should be let go. Should Carl Nicks be retained by the Buccaneers? How about his fellow guard Davin Joseph? Leo gives some horrible gambling advice, along with some draft and free agent talk and more on the episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a new head coach, so Ken and Leo are back in action to tell you what they think about the new leadership in Tampa Bay. Is Lovie the right man for the job? Can he bring the Buccaneers back to the playoffs? The guys give their opinions on Smith and his history as a coach, and how he'll translate to the Buccaneers. With Lovie Smith comes a new coaching staff, so who else will be on the sideline in Tampa Bay? And finally, Leo took a look at Blake Bortles, and shares his thoughts on UCF's quarterback and how he might fit with the Bucs.

Joe Bussell, otherwise known as @NFLosophy on Twitter and former staff member of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, joins us yet again for a special edition of the podcast. There has been plenty of big news in Tampa Bay over the past week, with the firing of head coach Greg Schiano and the reported hiring of Lovie Smith. Was it time to move on from Greg Schiano? And if so, is Lovie the right choice? Leo and Joe also discuss Jeff Tedford and what the offense will look like under a new regime. Can a college coach call the right plays in the NFL? And finally, the guys discuss the front office, and consider some names who will continue to build the roster in Tampa Bay. Who will call the shots now that Mark Dominik is gone? All that and more on this episode of The Pewter Plank Podcast.

Black Monday has come and gone, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have made sweeping changes in the front office and on the sidelines. General Manager Mark Dominik and Head Coach Greg Schiano have both been let go by the Buccaneers following a 4-12 season, and the search is on for the next leaders of the Tampa Bay franchise. Is it going to be Lovie Smith? If so, can Smith turn the Buccaneers around? What are some other names that may take over at coach and GM? Plus a look back at the fantasy football season in the Pewter Plank fantasy league.

Ken and Leo are back with another podcast, and this week, they get serious about the future of the franchise. The three "big" positions (Coach, GM, and Quarterback) are all in doubt heading into the offseason. Who stays? Who goes? Will Mark Dominik keep his job as general manager? Has he assembled the right roster during his time in charge? How about the coach? Is Greg Schiano the problem with the 2013 Buccaneers? With Black Monday approaching, will the former Rutgers head coach keep his job for next season? All that plus Jeff Garcia, Ken not liking Peyton Manning, and more on this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast.

In yet another special edition of the Pewter Plank Podcast, Zachary Gardner (@DJ_zer0grav) hops on the mic to talk about some draft prospects. How good can Blake Bortles be? Who are some linebackers and pass rushers to keep an eye on? All that and more on this special episode of the podcast.

For this special edition of the Pewter Plank Podcast, NFL Draft analyst Chris Dougherty (@DraftInsider) stops by to talk about some of his favorite prospects. Is A.J. McCarron a first-round quarterback? Should the Buccaneers take a defensive tackle? Check out his thoughts on those topics and more in this special episode of the podcast.

The Buccaneers have won again, and yet again Ken and Leo have as many questions as answers. But that doesn't prevent some positive discussion, as the guys take a moment to consider how good Lavonte David has been playing, and discuss the other key contributors to the Tampa Bay defense. The conversation then turns to the quarterback, the coach, and where the team goes with the current personnel at those positions. Will the second half struggles and anemic offenses continue? All that, plus Toyotas with nice wheels, Mike Leach, and Rodney Harrison in this week's edition of the Pewter Plank Podcast.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are officially eliminated from playoff contention after falling to the Carolina Panthers on Sunday. So where do the Bucs go from here? Looking forward to the draft and the offseason becomes the focus on this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast. Ken and Leo talk about draft options, Mike Glennon's future, the draft order, and everything else as it pertains to the first round of the NFL's annual selection meeting. (Note: The podcast was recorded PRIOR to the news about Marcus Mariota came out.) The guys also talk about fantasy football, pizza parties, and UNLV football.

The Buccaneers have won another football game, but there are still more questions than answers for the team from Tampa Bay. Greg Schiano has won three games, and received what seemed like a vote of confidence from the owners of the Bucs. Ken and Leo still aren't sold on the second year head coach, but one of them is afraid that Schiano's ticket to 2014 is already punched. Ken and Leo also talk about Mike Glennon, and the future at the quarterback position. Glennon has shown improvements, but is it enough to win over the hosts of the podcast? All that, plus Chinese food, fantasy football, and Trent Dilfer on this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast.

Twitter favorite and former employee of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Joe Bussell, otherwise known as @NFLosophy on Twitter, is our special guest for this special edition of the Pewter Plank Podcast. Leo got a chance to talk to Joe about the state of the franchise, and in particular spend time talking about quarterback Mike Glennon, and his future with the team. Can Mike Glennon overcome his lack shortcomings to become the franchise QB for the Buccaneers? Joe talks about Glennon's problems under pressure, and points out the positives of an accurate quarterback who has every chance to prove himself. Joe also breaks down the possible draft options, and compares them to Mike Glennon. Would he rather have Bridgewater, Mariota, Manziel, or even Jameis Winston? Leo and Joe then discuss the Tampa Bay defense, and consider the talents at every level. How good is Darrelle Revis, and how is he being used by the Buccaneers? The duo also talk about Lavonte David, Mason Foster, Adrian Clayborn, and the future of the front seven for the Buccaneers. The discussion then turns to the coaching staff and front office, as Leo and Joe consider what makes a good head coach and who some potential head coaching candidates could be if Greg Schiano is fired.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have won two games in a row, and Ken isn't happy about it. In this episode of the Pewter Plank Podcast, Ken and Leo discuss the future of the franchise, and if winning now hurts the team in the future. Where will the Buccaneers win up in the draft? They also talk about Sunday's win over Atlanta, and consider what it means for Mike Glennon and Bobby Rainey moving forward. The attention then turns to quarterback options, and names like Akili Smith and Jay Cutler are brought up. Plus, fantasy football shoutouts and a wager is placed on the rest of the season.
