If we’re talking about a Buccaneers player who didn’t play in the last team game, it’s probably not a positive story. But we talk about it anyway, because it’s relevant, and it’s happening.

For Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston, this might seem like déjà vu with a hint of change. Many things are the same. The star quarterback is accused of sexual misconduct by a female. Ronald Darby is a witness to the events leading up to, and after, the event in question. And once again, there is a very large group claiming he’s guilty before the ink has even dried on the first tweet sent about it.

More from The Pewter Plank

As the hosts of the Walking the Plank podcast, James Yarcho and I tackled this topic as real as we could. We used what we know, and what we don’t know, to try and make some sense of it all as we wait to see which shoe will fall next. James already staked his opinion on the matter, earlier, in writing.

Winston’s latest predicament wasn’t the only thing we discussed. We talked about his understudy quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and his own back-up, Ryan Griffin.

We also recapped the Week 11 win in Miami as well, and looked forward to Week 12 in Atlanta to face the Falcons.

Lots of words were said, some stories were told, and some opinions were formed. In the end, it was a good conversation.

Oh, and Greg Auman’s statistical prowess was also brought up, as was his guest appearance on The Pewter Report’s Pewter Nation Podcast.

Check out all of this, and hear what we had to say this week on the Robert McClain episode of Walking the Plank!
