Your new Walking the Plank hosts are back to recap another Buccaneers’ loss and talk about the most recent coaching rumors. The episode then wraps up with a look at this week’s season finale against the Saints.

Well, I guess you all didn’t hate Zach and I because we’re back for another week! Walking the Plank is back to recap a Christmas Eve loss for the Buccaneers. No cat puke and no whining dog this week, so we’re getting better on that end. If you’re back on your commute to work after the holidays, doing some work around the house or just need some Bucs talk in your life in the coming days, we hope you’ll give us a listen.

To kick things off, we look back at Sunday’s loss to Carolina. We talk about another good performance from Jameis Winston, give our thoughts on the struggling offensive line and wonder why in the world Dirk Koetter gave Doug Martin second half carries over Peyton Barber. Then, we discuss the trend of Tampa Bay fans wanting to give up on players far too early.

Speaking of Koetter, we dive into the most recent coaching rumors. Jon Gruden, Bruce Arians, Josh McDaniels and Matt Patricia all come up as Zach and I go over potential candidates if Koetter is given his walking papers next week.

To wrap things up, we preview Tampa Bay’s season finale against the New Orleans Saints and give our score predictions and players of the game.
