With the start of Tampa Bay Buccaneers training camp just days away, the podcast team of Downey & Martez took a look into some of the position battles & storylines for the upcoming season. For starters, Trey & Len discussed how the success running back Leonard Fournette had in the team's playoff run last year would affect the amount of carries he could see this year & if the free agent signing of Giovani Bernard gives the team their all-important third down back.  The podcast stayed on the offense throughout the discussion including how this season may be a make-or-break year for tight end O.J. Howard & how fellow tight end Cameron Brate has earned the trust of his seven-time Super Bowl Champion quarterback.  In the midst of a few wrestling references, the gents also debated whether or not Antonio Brown is locked in as the team's third receiver & of course one of the hosts had to fuel an on-going debate asking, "What does it mean if Kyle Trask isn't listed as the number two quarterback behind Tom Brady?"  Don’t forget to subscribe to Bucs Nation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever else you get your podcasts.

Downey & Martez : 2021 Bucs Training Camp Preview

Training camp is drawing closer and this week Trey Downey and Len Martez concluded their look at the NFC south by taking a deep dive into the New Orleans Saints. The guys debated whether it was a given that Jameis Winston will be the starting quarterback and whether the team lost too much to even be considered a playoff contender. Last week Trey mentioned that he might start a riot if Mike Evans wasn't ranked as a top 3 wide receiver in ESPN's series of polls of NFL executives. Well, Evans was ranked 7th on that list so Trey was certainly fired up. The guys discussed the merits of that list and why some of the players that were ranked above Evans might be a prisoner of the moment type thinking.

FROM THE SBN NFL SHOW: Is Tom Brady the best QB in the NFC South?

Another week, another list to discuss for Trey Downey and Len Martez. This week the boys had something more substantial than just one person underrating a Buccaneer. The guys discussed a group of NFL coaches and players naming Devin White the best linebacker in the league. Trey questioned whether Lavonte David is still underrated on that same list. The gents then continued their preview of the NFC south heading into training camp. This week the Carolina Panthers were on tap. The conversation of the Panthers centered on Sam Darnold and if he can make the strides many expected him to make under Matt Rhule and Joe Brady. The preview of the Panthers ended with a debate on their playoff chances. Don’t forget to subscribe to Bucs Nation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever else you get your podcasts.

Downey & Martez : Devin White Gets Recognition From His Peers

A list can be described as a number of names written consecutively one below the other. But when talking sports, a list usually means someone has decided to rank players or coaches. And this week on their podcast, Trey Downey & Len Martez had a discussion on how anyone that talks sports for a living could leave Tampa Bay Buccaneers Head Coach Bruce Arians off his/her "Top Ten Coaches In The NFL" list. Because of his Super Bowl win & being the only active head coach who has won a Coach Of The Year award with two different teams, both Downey & Martez agreed that any top ten list not having Arians on it just isn't right. While Arians is just weeks away from his third training camp as Buccaneers head coach, one of the rivals in the Buccaneers' division will have a new head coach on their sidelines. Arthur Smith was hired this off-season as the new Atlanta Falcons head coach & on their first of NFC South team previews, Trey & Len take a look at the changes the Falcons have made, hoping to avoid their fourth straight losing season in Atlanta.

Downey & Martez : Is Bruce Arians Underrated?

It's been over 16 months since Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady was a free agent & looking for a new team after spending 20 years playing for the New England Patriots. And on a soon to be aired episode of HBO's The Shop, Brady gives everyone a small glimpse of the "shopping" process when he talks about how he responded to finding out a team that initially showed interest to signing him, had decided to stick with the quarterback on their roster at that time.    Brady's response to a team choosing a certain quarterback over him has definitely drawn various thoughts & even drew some laughs from Trey Downey & Len Martez, who on their podcast this week discussed who may have been the team that turned down arguably the greatest quarterback of all-time. One of the host was steadfast in thinking the team that withdrew their interest in Brady has a former Buccaneers head coach running their franchise. While the other host gave various reasons why the team that Brady was referring to on the show currently has a quarterback starting for them that he helped obtain Super Bowl rings.   Before Trey & Len finished off another episode of their podcast they dug into a list ranking NFL quarterbacks created by, ironically, a former Buccaneers quarterback.   Don’t forget to subscribe to Bucs Nation on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio, or wherever else you get your podcasts.

Downey & Martez : Where Does Tom Brady Rank Amongst Current Top QBs?

Over the last few months, like every off-season, NFL teams have been making moves to make their roster better. But unlike most off-seasons, the defending Super Bowl champions didn't have to replenish their roster because their own free agents chose to re-sign with the team for a chance to win a second Super Bowl ring. In this week's edition of Downey & Martez, Trey & Len opened up their podcast with a discussion about the Buccaneers' off-season & how most national publications rate Tampa Bay as having the best off-season of any NFL team. The conversation included one host recalling how some thought the Buccaneers would have to choose which free agents were a priority to bring back while another host identified other teams adding new pieces to their team but none no bigger than the 22 returning starters to a team looking to win another Super Bowl. Lastly to wrap-up the podcast, Downey & Martez took a quick dive into the new Madden 22 cover & if fans of either the Buccaneers or Kansas City Chiefs should be concerned with their quarterbacks sharing the cover together & if the Madden Curse even exists.

FROM THE SB NATION NFL SHOW: Chris Godwin thinks the offense can be better?

For the first time since winning Super Bowl LV, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers practiced as one during this week's mandatory mini-camp. But even before their first practice on Tuesday, the team announced that Head Coach Bruce Arians & General Manger Jason Licht were given new contracts. And that news was just one of the things Trey Downey & Len Martez discussed during this week's podcast.    Trey & Len discussed other revelations including the fact that quarterback Tom Brady had been nursing a knee injury since last spring which led to his knee surgery after the team's Super Bowl win.    Downey & Martez didn't end their podcast this week without elaborating on what they both saw during this week's mini-camp practices plus why they felt the team had the best off-season of any NFL team without making a blockbuster deal or having any significant free agent signings.   Learn more about your ad choices.
