The Rondé Barber Show

Mike Tomlin believes the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have found their winning formula. The Super Bowl champion head coach joins Rondé Barber to explain why Bucky Irving, an elite defense and a commitment to the run make the Bucs more competitive than their record suggests. Tomlin shares what fans might overlook about Todd Bowles, how the running game can create opportunities for Baker Mayfield, and why Caleb Williams presents such a difficult challenge against Chicago. The conversation also gets personal. Tomlin and Rondé revisit their Tampa Bay beginnings, the dinner that helped keep Rondé with the Buccaneers, and the friendship that carried them from One Buc Place to the Pro Football Hall of Fame stage. Plus, Tomlin explains the thinking behind some of his most memorable Tomlin-isms. Later, Rondé and JB discuss Rashad Johnson’s impact on the Bucs’ cornerbacks, make their Pick Six selections, and debate aggressive vs. conservative coaching in The Extra Point.
