WEBVTT - Devin White Leading the Defense, Split Field Practices & Cornerback Depth | Bucs Insider Live 0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:13.319 Welcome in to Buccaneers Insider Live, presented by Miller like 0:00:13.400 --> 0:00:15.320 Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here and this is where 0:00:15.360 --> 0:00:17.360 we take all of your questions. So if you're not 0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.640 already watching on the Facebook page, head on over there 0:00:19.680 --> 0:00:21.560 and you can leave your questions, thoughts and everything in 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.880 the comments section underneath. And as always, we love hearing 0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.080 where everybody is watching from. I know we've probably got 0:00:26.239 --> 0:00:27.800 a ton of questions now that we finally got to 0:00:27.800 --> 0:00:29.520 see the rookies in here. So first of all, I 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:31.880 want to just hear your thoughts of after seeing rookie 0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:33.919 mini camp and and actually seeing some guys out there 0:00:33.920 --> 0:00:36.199 a little bit more football scenario than we had in 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:37.640 Phase one and Phase two. What were some of your 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:40.680 initial thoughts. Well, the rookie camp, it's really there's not 0:00:40.680 --> 0:00:42.519 a lot you can get out of that because you're 0:00:42.520 --> 0:00:45.559 basically you have about half the team that's out there 0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.600 was on tryout contracts. There's they're not really they're trying 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.320 to absorb some of the playbook and they're trying to 0:00:50.320 --> 0:00:52.360 get a look at some of these guys that maybe 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.520 would be slight upgrades to the roster. And indeed they 0:00:54.560 --> 0:00:56.840 did find forward to sign, so you know it was 0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:59.480 a success. Again, I think much more telling was the 0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.360 beginning of a t as yesterday. And now you're seeing 0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.320 the rookies and the veterans together, and you're seeing where 0:01:05.400 --> 0:01:08.160 guys play. You know, there's it's a new defense. So 0:01:08.160 --> 0:01:11.000 there's outside linebackers now instead of defensive ends, and all 0:01:11.040 --> 0:01:13.600 the defensive linemen you might call d t s or 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.720 or bigger d s are called d l's and guys 0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.360 like Lavonte David are called inside linebackers now we've always 0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.479 thought of him as an outside linebacker. And just seeing 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.160 where they're playing. And also even though the Buccaneers went 0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.480 inside to the indoor facility yesterday because they thought it 0:01:26.520 --> 0:01:29.119 was going to rain and in fact it did, um 0:01:29.240 --> 0:01:31.240 they still did the the only one field work with. 0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:33.840 They still did the plan of breaking practice into two. 0:01:34.120 --> 0:01:37.240 And you had like Jameis Winston and you know, Chris 0:01:37.240 --> 0:01:39.639 Godwin and Mike Evans and all the what should consider 0:01:39.640 --> 0:01:41.680 the veterans and the first line guys on one half 0:01:41.720 --> 0:01:43.240 and then a bunch of really young guys on the 0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:45.640 other half. And they got in a lot of work 0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.280 and it was a lot to watch, to be honest 0:01:47.280 --> 0:01:48.920 with you, but you're kind of starting to get a 0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.000 feel for who fits where. Okay, cool um, And speaking 0:01:52.040 --> 0:01:53.840 of that, Alan wants to know what's going on with 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.280 the backup quarterback situation. Have we been able to tell 0:01:56.400 --> 0:01:58.800 much about who's taking what reps there? Yeah? Well again, 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.920 because they split them into two, everybody's getting a lot 0:02:01.000 --> 0:02:04.520 more reps um Blaine Gabbert. Okay, so there were four quarterbacks, right, 0:02:04.760 --> 0:02:07.560 Blaine Gabbert joined Jamis Winston on the side with the 0:02:07.560 --> 0:02:09.400 mostly veteran players, and on the other side you had 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.360 Ryan Griffin and Nick Fitzgerald. I don't know if that 0:02:11.360 --> 0:02:15.000 says anything. That was one practice. Perhaps today they'll flip fits. 0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:19.079 Uh Griffin, you lose Fitzpatrick, but you still have a 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.120 Ryan and now even Fitzgerald. Yeah, I was gonna say 0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:22.840 I was super impressed you actually got it right that 0:02:22.880 --> 0:02:24.480 first time. I was like, if like, we're gonna mess 0:02:24.520 --> 0:02:26.160 that up all? Yeah, So you might switch Griffin. I 0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:28.280 don't know, we'll see today practices is actually pretty soon 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:30.600 from now, maybe a switch Griffin and blame Gabbert. But 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.520 that first one would seem to indicate that Blaine, and 0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.679 I think because of his experience actually playing in the 0:02:35.720 --> 0:02:38.800 regular season and playing in this offense. Before you know, 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:41.640 you connect the dots. He seems like the obvious first 0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.760 choice to be the number two quarterbacks. One thing that 0:02:44.800 --> 0:02:47.840 was interesting is that Nick Fitzgerald when they first I 0:02:47.840 --> 0:02:50.240 walked into the building and they were doing um, the 0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:52.800 quarterbacks were doing drills with Clyde Christenson and there were 0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:54.840 only three of them, and like, who's missing all it's 0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:56.760 Nick Fitzerald, Like wonder why he can't be here. They 0:02:56.840 --> 0:02:58.520 used to have some some schools that were on quarter 0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.840 systems couldn't come back this early, but I didn't think 0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.480 Mississippi State was that, and in fact, they changed that 0:03:04.560 --> 0:03:06.680 role last year, so it's not even rule anymore. Uh. 0:03:06.720 --> 0:03:08.359 The reason he wasn't there is because he was doing 0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:11.359 special teams. I was doing punt and you know, we're 0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:14.600 really not supposed to reveal a lot of details about 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:16.640 where guys are playing, but so I won't say exactly 0:03:16.680 --> 0:03:18.200 what he was doing. But he was playing. He was 0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.840 practicing with specialty. That's pretty awesome. And he said he 0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:23.200 wanted to do Yeah, that's pretty cool. I like that. 0:03:23.360 --> 0:03:24.919 All right. Andrew said, what do you think will be 0:03:24.960 --> 0:03:27.440 the major change on the field coming this year. So 0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:28.920 of course we know that there's a new coaching staff. 0:03:28.960 --> 0:03:31.080 I don't think he just means what has changed, but 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:33.280 just what what will be the biggest changes when you 0:03:33.320 --> 0:03:35.160 go to a game and watch with this project, Well, 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.960 it's a new defense, and it's it's on one hand, 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.720 it's very true and we said it many times and 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:41.880 the coaches have said it that every team plays some 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.480 three four and some four or three looks, and when 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:46.200 you're in sub packages often you have four down linemen. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:48.840 So even though we're called a three four now, you're 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:50.360 gonna see a lot of this. You know, you're still 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:51.720 going to see a lot of four or three looks. 0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:53.800 You're still gonna see plays with four guys with their 0:03:53.840 --> 0:03:56.600 hands in the dirt and all that. But that being said, 0:03:56.640 --> 0:03:58.960 it is a new defense. I mean we have guys 0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:02.840 specifically playing what you'd call outside linebacker, so Karl Nasset 0:04:03.080 --> 0:04:05.240 standing up, rushing the past or maybe dropping into cover 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:08.400 some Anthony Nelson the rookie um. And is this a 0:04:08.400 --> 0:04:11.160 better defense for Noah Spence? He looked good yesterday, fast 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:14.520 off the edges um. And then it's supposedly it's going 0:04:14.600 --> 0:04:17.120 to be more aggressive. Apparently that you're gonna get more 0:04:17.120 --> 0:04:18.880 pressed from the corners, which I think our fans are 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:22.000 gonna like, because there were times where when things were 0:04:22.000 --> 0:04:24.960 going badly, it was easy to point at what looked 0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.880 like a passive approach to defense, especially on the outside. 0:04:27.920 --> 0:04:32.320 Now it's an easy thing to get upset about and 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.839 forget that. The Bucks have also used that sort of 0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:37.360 defense in a very successful way many times, and I 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.760 think it can be done. Maybe it's not used. You know, 0:04:39.800 --> 0:04:41.760 the cover two as your base and as you're in 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.040 all the time, as the great Buck defense was in 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:46.720 the Super Bowl era isn't really in vogue right now, 0:04:46.760 --> 0:04:49.200 and maybe that's you know, so you don't see a 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.440 lot of teams playing like that a lot, so when 0:04:52.480 --> 0:04:54.760 things were going badly, that's certainly was something you could 0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:56.560 point on. Go man, our corners were playing ten yards 0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.520 off on on third and seven. Right now, it's whether 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:01.960 or not that was good football knowledge or not. It certainly, 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:04.920 as a casual fan, looked not great. So I think 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.240 our fans are gonna enjoy seeing a more aggressive defense. 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:10.560 And because it's this three four with outside linebackers and 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.480 even inside linebackers like Devin White and La Monte David 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:15.960 that they think can blitz. I think you're just going 0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.960 to see a lot more aggressiveness, a lot more variety, 0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:20.880 a lot of different types of blitz is, and I 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.800 think that will be fun to watch. It's a more 0:05:22.800 --> 0:05:25.680 aggressive defense. Is a risk of your demons, You know that. 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.360 That's the difference between the philosophy of hey, make them 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:29.719 grind it all the way down the field and they'll 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:32.600 mess up at some point against let's make a big 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:35.440 play on defense and get the ball back quickly. Sometimes 0:05:35.480 --> 0:05:37.680 that means you give up big place. Right. Yeah, that's 0:05:37.680 --> 0:05:39.240 a great point. I know we've only had a couple 0:05:39.240 --> 0:05:41.880 of days of rookie Minicamp, but Kevin said, does it 0:05:41.960 --> 0:05:43.760 seem like Devin White is starting to emerge as the 0:05:43.839 --> 0:05:46.479 leader that Bruce arians expects and hopes him. Yeah, I 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.320 don't think there's any doubt that that's gonna happen. He 0:05:48.400 --> 0:05:50.719 was vocal on the field yesterday and that was his 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:53.080 first practice mixed in with the veterans. So it really 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:54.880 didn't mean much if he was the most vocal guy 0:05:54.920 --> 0:05:56.839 in the in the rookie minicamp, because he's the star 0:05:56.920 --> 0:06:00.799 of that right, the first overall pick, and it's all rookies. Uh. 0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:03.560 He was apparently vocal on the field. Coach Arean so 0:06:03.640 --> 0:06:05.760 that afterwards, and I don't think that's going to go anywhere. 0:06:05.760 --> 0:06:08.039 I mean, you've met him, right, I met him. He's 0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.960 very outgoing, yes, yeah, and he was a leader at 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:13.280 an early age at L s U. He was a 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:15.120 leader with guys that were a couple of years older 0:06:15.120 --> 0:06:17.359 than he was. And it's just some guys are just 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.440 like that, you know, and you can be a talker, 0:06:20.320 --> 0:06:23.120 but people tune you out. I mean a it helps 0:06:23.160 --> 0:06:25.560 to be very very good and being what you're saying 0:06:25.600 --> 0:06:27.760 is important and how you deliver that message. Of course, 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.400 he's also playing right next to Lavante David, who is 0:06:30.400 --> 0:06:33.240 a team captain for years and probably will be again, 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.560 and so he's got a veteran leader right next to him. 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.600 It's just that Lavante maybe isn't quite as vocal of 0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.400 a guy, right, Yeah, that makes sense. Um Frank said, 0:06:41.400 --> 0:06:43.400 who has been the most impressive so far from the 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:51.839 football we've gotten to watch? Mm hmmm, we've seen one practice. Well, 0:06:52.320 --> 0:06:54.960 I don't know if he's most impressive, but I'll tell 0:06:55.000 --> 0:06:57.760 you two guys. One one that won't be surprising. I 0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:00.240 saw several really nice plays from O. J. Howard, And 0:07:00.240 --> 0:07:02.600 of course it's a big interesting thing to see how 0:07:02.640 --> 0:07:05.080 well and how much Bruce Arians, who has never had 0:07:05.080 --> 0:07:07.240 tight ends like O. J. Howarden Camber right before, how 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.000 much he's going to use them, and how well and 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:11.760 how much Downfield. And I think any coach, no matter 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:13.440 what his system is, would find a way to get O. J. 0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:16.040 Howard downfield saw a couple of those plays. And on 0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.280 the other side, as when the young guys were practicing 0:07:18.720 --> 0:07:21.080 uh first year tied in, Donnie Ernsberger seemed like he 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.320 was making a big catchdown field like every other play, 0:07:23.600 --> 0:07:26.520 So that's kind of off the you know, a little 0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:28.800 off the off center one for you like that. And 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.040 then it was good to see Breshad Perriman getting deep 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.480 and getting behind guys and getting a step on guys. Um. 0:07:35.320 --> 0:07:36.720 I don't know if they completed a ton of them. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.480 They completed one big one for a touchdown in seven 0:07:39.480 --> 0:07:41.160 on seven and there was another one down the middle, 0:07:41.440 --> 0:07:44.600 but he was getting separation and getting behind the defense 0:07:44.680 --> 0:07:46.640 and Jamis was reading it and throwing to him and 0:07:46.880 --> 0:07:49.560 Bruce Arians on one there was a deep ball straight 0:07:49.560 --> 0:07:51.160 down the middle that ended up landing in the end 0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.720 zone a couple of feet in front of Brashade. But 0:07:54.320 --> 0:07:57.119 Bruce really praised Jamis for his read on that plane, 0:07:57.160 --> 0:07:59.520 his decision and said, actually it was a pretty good throw. 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.640 He just things Bush looking back lost in the scene inside, 0:08:03.680 --> 0:08:06.200 and so, um, it was a good decision. That's a 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.800 good thing because Jamie's thrown the deep. All betters couldn't 0:08:08.800 --> 0:08:11.120 make this often take a big step forward. And then 0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:14.120 another guy, Scotty Miller. Everybody, I think there are people 0:08:14.160 --> 0:08:15.840 and it's probably way he's available in the sixth round 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.640 that are concerned about a guy of his size about 0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.160 five n um how he's going to hold up in 0:08:21.160 --> 0:08:24.720 the NFL. But he is definitely quick. Yeah, I mean 0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:28.040 he is really quick. So that's gonna be awesome. Uh. 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:32.120 Justin said he's watching from looks like no, not Justin Watson. 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.679 Uh he said, what three games are you looking forward 0:08:34.679 --> 0:08:39.040 to the most this season? And why? Well, m hmm, 0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:41.160 I'm trying to go back to the schedule in my brain. 0:08:42.120 --> 0:08:43.920 I know, of course the London game right off the 0:08:43.920 --> 0:08:45.960 bat is just that's gonna be cool, especially since it 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:47.959 is a division game. Those are always exciting anyways, and 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:50.040 then you throw it in London. How about the first 0:08:50.080 --> 0:08:53.080 game back at home after those? I know we'll be 0:08:53.120 --> 0:08:55.000 looking forward to that in the middle of those seven weeks. 0:08:55.400 --> 0:08:58.520 I hope I'm looking forward to. Our final game is 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:01.320 at home against Land I think so. Yeah, I sure 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.200 hope I'm looking forward to that one. That would mean 0:09:03.240 --> 0:09:07.520 it's very meaningful. What else we got, Oh, yeah, we have. 0:09:07.679 --> 0:09:10.000 The Buccaneers have not played a game in l a sin. 0:09:11.440 --> 0:09:13.679 So that'll be neat. That's really cool. I like that one. 0:09:13.720 --> 0:09:16.840 That would have been that we get to go to 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:20.280 Seattle too, don't we. Okay, well, that's always a fun trip. Yeah, 0:09:20.280 --> 0:09:24.360 that'll be cool. Uh. Lewis said he's watching from Guadalajara, Mexico. 0:09:24.640 --> 0:09:28.800 Is Cosin Daniels in the O t A s Yes, Yeah, absolutely, 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:33.240 And that's that's a great story. I imagine he knows 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:35.240 the story if he's asking. But you know, Cousin is 0:09:35.280 --> 0:09:37.240 a guy that at the age of five got in 0:09:37.240 --> 0:09:39.960 an accident with a scooter and lost the site in 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:42.840 his right eye, but never stopped him from playing sports 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:45.600 and being really good at it. And he went to Charleston, 0:09:45.640 --> 0:09:49.800 I think, and in West Virginia, and he he basically 0:09:49.840 --> 0:09:51.680 didn't really let a lot of his teammates and coaches know. 0:09:51.880 --> 0:09:53.400 I mean, I think some of the coaches knew there 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.160 was an issue, but didn't really realize he was completely 0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.120 blind in that, all right, And it didn't it wasn't 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:59.760 even really well known until there was a story it 0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:01.760 just a week or two before the draft, um by 0:10:01.800 --> 0:10:04.360 one of the sites, CBS Sports or something and um, 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:06.080 and they kind of did the whole story, and then 0:10:06.080 --> 0:10:09.679 everybody knew. And then you know, Bruce Arian said he 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:13.120 didn't know until a week before the draft. So the 0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:16.679 guy is, he's here, and it's a great story. And 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.800 you know, with the uncertainty about Jason Pierre Paul, which 0:10:19.800 --> 0:10:22.160 I'm sure we would get asked about at some point anyway, 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.839 it's an open question who how the those outside linebackers, 0:10:25.920 --> 0:10:27.640 how many are you gonna keep? Which one you're gonna keep? 0:10:27.640 --> 0:10:29.319 There some opportunities maybe for a guy like him or 0:10:29.360 --> 0:10:32.559 the guy we signed after he tried out, David Kinney. Um, 0:10:32.600 --> 0:10:34.360 there's a lot of there's gonna be a lot of 0:10:34.440 --> 0:10:37.439 jacking for position. I think you're gonna want some depth 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.559 there five or six guys, So there's an opportunity for 0:10:39.640 --> 0:10:43.240 some guys like that, right, Dion said, how is Scotty 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:45.280 Miller coming along? And do we think he could be 0:10:45.320 --> 0:10:48.520 the next Adam Humphries. You know, it's a little too easy, 0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:49.719 and I don't want to do either of them a 0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.880 disservice by just making that direct comparison. In fact, when 0:10:52.880 --> 0:10:55.319 Scotty was talking the first day he met the media 0:10:55.360 --> 0:10:57.640 here during training, he said, I think I'm really more 0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:02.800 like DeShawn Jackson, you know, a little more like that size. 0:11:02.840 --> 0:11:05.200 I don't I don't think people realize how yoked up 0:11:05.480 --> 0:11:08.200 Adam Humphreys is. I mean, he's a really solid guy. 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:11.280 And uh, I think just based on their forty times, 0:11:11.280 --> 0:11:14.160 Scotty is probably faster. Um, So they're not really the 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.040 exact same sort of player, But you don't have to 0:11:16.120 --> 0:11:19.160 have the exact same sort of player to have some 0:11:19.280 --> 0:11:21.800 success both in the slot, which is what everybody expects 0:11:21.800 --> 0:11:23.880 Scotty to be because of his size and quickness. But 0:11:23.920 --> 0:11:25.400 I think the Bucks actually see him as a guy 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.719 they can also play on the outside and really take 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.559 the top off the defense. Right. That's a great point. 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:33.120 Rob said, with all the new dbs, should anyone be concerned? 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:34.600 I guess he means the guys that were on the 0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:38.760 roster last year at dB. So. Yeah, so I think competition, 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.880 and they keep saying they want to foster as much 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.319 competition as possible at every position, and that right now 0:11:44.400 --> 0:11:48.000 nobody is guaranteed a starting job, so everybody should be concerned. 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:52.400 But that's good thing, you know. Uh, And I don't 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:53.760 know if I've ever said this before, but I don't 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.480 think you can get enough depth of cornerback. So that 0:11:56.559 --> 0:11:59.479 may be the first time I've ever mentioned that. Um 0:11:59.559 --> 0:12:02.880 So even if even I look at it the other 0:12:02.880 --> 0:12:04.520 way around, I don't look as like, oh my gosh, 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:07.240 now we have too many corners, and I think it 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.240 just means you've got you've got more talent to choose 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:11.680 from there, and you're gonna end up with a with 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:14.520 a deeper crew overall, because as our coaches, the new 0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:17.800 staff has pointed out several times, the problem, the main 0:12:17.840 --> 0:12:20.719 problem with the secondary last year was when guys got hurt, 0:12:20.760 --> 0:12:23.199 and we did get a lot of guys hurt. The 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.360 the experienced and ready to play depth wasn't there, So 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:29.280 you got to get more of them and coach them up. Right. Yeah, 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:31.800 that's a great point. Um, I'm going to combine like 0:12:32.120 --> 0:12:34.640 eight questions into one. Here we had a whole bunch 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:39.839 of stuff about jpp Gerald, Karl Nessab, Noah Spence, all 0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.360 this stuff. So overall, let's just take a look at 0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.320 the defensive line, at what we know as of now, 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:48.320 what we don't know, what that could end up looking like, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:51.000 and what this offseason will need to tell us about that. Well, 0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:54.280 there's two different questions really, because Joe McCoy is really 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.560 separate from the other people that were mentioned there. He's 0:12:56.600 --> 0:12:59.080 more in this defense down lineman. He'd probably be a 0:12:59.120 --> 0:13:02.599 perfect three four defensive end um and it wouldn't be 0:13:02.600 --> 0:13:04.160 a whole lot different than what he's used to doing. 0:13:04.840 --> 0:13:06.719 And as he said, which I think is accurate, he 0:13:06.760 --> 0:13:10.199 can play in any defense. Um. But still, as you 0:13:10.240 --> 0:13:11.440 can see on a roster if you go to the 0:13:11.440 --> 0:13:14.680 website now where finally the positions that correspond to what 0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.760 these guys would play in this defense have been have 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.959 been added. So like if you saw a guy named 0:13:19.080 --> 0:13:21.319 Jeral McCoy next, his name in previous years has always 0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:23.199 ad DT for defensive tackle. Right now it says d 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.400 l uh Will Golston, who has been known as a 0:13:26.440 --> 0:13:28.839 defensive end. It's just as d L. But that's because 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:31.480 he's one of the bigger front seven guys who will 0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:33.400 be having his hand in the dirt. So when you're 0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.240 in your base three four you get you basically have 0:13:35.240 --> 0:13:37.679 a nose and to three four defensive ends, and those 0:13:37.720 --> 0:13:39.800 are bigger guys that might be called defensive tackles and 0:13:39.840 --> 0:13:42.640 a lot of defenses. So you got guys like I 0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:47.080 think you have decent depth there. Obviously, I can't ignore 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.000 the fact that there's some uncertainty about the future of 0:13:49.040 --> 0:13:51.440 Gerald McCoy and he's not here now, and and all 0:13:51.440 --> 0:13:53.800 that coach is saying about that now, which is what 0:13:53.840 --> 0:13:55.440 every coach would do in this situation, is Hey, I'm 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.520 gonna talk about the guys that are here, ok so 0:13:58.160 --> 0:14:00.840 um if and when Gerald's here, then he becomes more 0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:03.600 of the conversation. But right now, who's here that plays 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:06.400 those down linemen. It's primarily your first round pick from 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.200 last year, Vita Vea, who coaches can play all over 0:14:09.200 --> 0:14:12.560 the interior line but also does seem to be an 0:14:12.559 --> 0:14:15.080 extremely perfect fit as a nose tackle in the three four. 0:14:15.320 --> 0:14:18.600 Then you've got guys like Will Ghoston bow Allen and 0:14:18.679 --> 0:14:20.400 some younger guys or guys that really haven't had a 0:14:20.440 --> 0:14:22.400 shot yet, Like don't forget we still have Stevie two 0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:25.320 Colavato on this team. Uh, there's a bunch of other guys, 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.880 Rocky Nunez Roches who played last year, Nacho is what 0:14:28.920 --> 0:14:31.720 they call him. Um, So you've got those guys, and 0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:33.760 I think there's still a lot of depth, at least 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:35.720 by numbers. We'll have to sort out which guys are 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:37.840 really right to the top there. And then you got 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:40.480 your outside linebackers, which is what Jason Peter Paul and 0:14:40.560 --> 0:14:42.760 Karl Massim and the others that you were saying there 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.560 they comprise, and uh, those guys have to be a 0:14:46.600 --> 0:14:48.920 little bit more versatile, like and Anthony Nelson. The rookie 0:14:50.040 --> 0:14:52.360 can stand up and rush off the edge, or he 0:14:52.400 --> 0:14:54.480 can put his hand in the ground when you're in 0:14:54.520 --> 0:14:57.480 sub packages in a four man line, or maybe even 0:14:57.480 --> 0:15:00.360 get some snaps as a three four to and svent 0:15:00.440 --> 0:15:02.320 a little farther inside. So they think he can do 0:15:02.400 --> 0:15:03.920 a lot of different things that are just confronted out 0:15:03.920 --> 0:15:06.520 what he does best. So it's there's a lot to 0:15:06.520 --> 0:15:08.400 be sorted out there. Because it's a new defense with 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:10.960 some new assignments and they're just getting their first looks 0:15:11.000 --> 0:15:15.160 at which guys are are really good at which responsibilities, 0:15:15.280 --> 0:15:18.080 Like maybe Noah Spence happens to be really really good 0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.440 at standing up and rushing off the edge in the 0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.760 three fore front, and so when you're in stamps like that, 0:15:23.000 --> 0:15:24.600 he gets still play more when you're in more of 0:15:24.600 --> 0:15:26.640 a four or three look than he doesn't. So we'll 0:15:26.640 --> 0:15:29.640 find out. But there's a lot of depth. I don't 0:15:29.640 --> 0:15:32.320 think we're lacking for depth, but it's fair to say 0:15:32.600 --> 0:15:36.280 that there's not a lot of proven depth yet because 0:15:36.400 --> 0:15:38.800 if you look at it and you go, who amongst 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.800 all these guys is going to give you five to 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.800 seven sacks? Who's gonna give you ten sacks? I mean, 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.640 if you're Jason Pierre Paul is not in the picture 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:46.560 for some amount of time because it was a neck injury, 0:15:46.960 --> 0:15:49.880 that was your tin sack guy? Uh? Is it Karl Massive? 0:15:49.920 --> 0:15:51.280 I mean he would seem like the main one. Maybe 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:54.880 Noah Spence emerges. What does Anthony Nelson give you? Is 0:15:54.960 --> 0:15:57.680 vita vea pass rushing presence in the middle. A lot 0:15:57.680 --> 0:15:59.920 of questions still to be answered, and maybe it's just 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:03.200 sends up being you get a decent pass rush out 0:16:03.200 --> 0:16:05.200 of a bunch of guys getting five or six sacks, 0:16:05.680 --> 0:16:08.440 plus some sacks from your linebackers when they're blitzing, your 0:16:08.520 --> 0:16:10.440 your safeties when they're blitzing, and things like that. So 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:12.120 there's a lot to be sorted through there. That is 0:16:12.240 --> 0:16:13.840 very true. All right. Well, thanks so much for joining 0:16:13.880 --> 0:16:16.040 us on this edition of Buccaneers Inside Are Live presented 0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:17.480 by Miller Lytton, and we'll see you next time.
