Make sure you head 0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.360 over the Facebook page if that's how today where you're watching, 0:00:27.400 --> 0:00:29.560 and you can submit them in the comments section under 0:00:29.560 --> 0:00:32.120 our live video get a discussion going. We love hearing 0:00:32.400 --> 0:00:34.639 even just the thoughts and comments other than the questions. 0:00:34.680 --> 0:00:36.000 And now is the time when we do get to 0:00:36.000 --> 0:00:38.080 talk about a lot of these big picture things because 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.320 the players are on this five week break that they 0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:42.639 get between mini camp and training camp. This is when 0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:45.240 we really dive into a lot of the potential potential 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.239 battles of training camp of who's gonna be at what's 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:50.000 starting spots or even roster moves, things like that, who's 0:00:50.000 --> 0:00:52.440 gonna make the final fifty three? Uh So, for you 0:00:52.520 --> 0:00:54.560 to start off this break time, just want to hear 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:57.120 what's your thoughts were on O T A S. Mini Camp, 0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.280 the whole big pictures so far of the off season, 0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.319 anything that we have learned or that you're you're even 0:01:02.400 --> 0:01:04.920 more uh you know inquisitive about now going to take 0:01:04.920 --> 0:01:07.840 away if you will take away or two? Um, you 0:01:07.880 --> 0:01:10.319 know many camp the three days of minicamp were probably 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.280 most instructive of all because we watched all of that. 0:01:13.800 --> 0:01:17.080 We didn't necessarily want all the ottees weren't open to 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.320 the media, and we didn't see every minute of those practices, 0:01:19.560 --> 0:01:21.840 but we saw every minute of those three practices, and 0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:25.480 I think my biggest takeaway was the defense seemed to 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.600 be a little more successful than the offense. And that's 0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:30.960 on one hand, that's not really unusual for this time 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.160 of the year. You know, the defense is by nature 0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.200 more reactive, and they do have the play and playbooks, 0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:40.759 but um, their success isn't quite as dependent upon being 0:01:40.800 --> 0:01:42.800 so perfect on knowing your plays and being the right 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.800 place as offenses, right, So it's not surprising that the 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:48.360 defense would be ahead. On the other hand, it's probably 0:01:48.400 --> 0:01:50.960 good news because that's the side of the ball that 0:01:51.040 --> 0:01:53.840 needed the most fixing after last year, which was quite 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:56.120 obvious by our offseason moves, right, I mean, that's I 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.840 got a lot more attention. The other side basically got 0:01:58.920 --> 0:02:02.960 Ronald Jones and Ryan Jensen, the big big changes. There 0:02:03.000 --> 0:02:06.120 wasn't a whole lot of change otherwise. Um, so that 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.800 was good to see, I think, um, and you know, 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:12.200 it's good that it was competitive. You know, I was 0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.200 saying this to you earlier. We hear a lot this 0:02:15.280 --> 0:02:18.360 offseason players saying different things about the vibe round here, 0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:23.840 how it seems more confidence, more closeness, um, you know, 0:02:23.960 --> 0:02:26.360 just a different energy level around here. And while I 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.080 think that's probably true, or at least true to the 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.079 extent that they believe it, and that's a good thing, 0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.919 it's still kind of what you'd expect players to say 0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.840 at this time of the year. Now. When Coach Cutter 0:02:36.080 --> 0:02:39.720 specifically said he thought it was practices were way more 0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.720 competitive this spring than a year ago, that carries a 0:02:41.760 --> 0:02:43.320 lot of weight with me because he's not really prone 0:02:43.320 --> 0:02:45.600 to exaggeration. Yeah, that's a great point. Um, So if 0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:47.760 it is true that it's a lot more competitive, I 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.160 think that's a really good sign. You know, Yeah, that's 0:02:50.240 --> 0:02:52.840 very true. Um. How much credence do you put into 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.799 those things of where players are saying it's more we're 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.679 having more fun or it seems more competitive. You said 0:02:59.680 --> 0:03:02.000 that Cutter isn't prone to exaggeration, but I think a 0:03:02.040 --> 0:03:04.320 lot of times players, you know, will say what they 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:08.639 know they're supposed to say. So does that also feel 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.480 a little different to you than than other years past, 0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:11.760 or how much weight do you put on I think 0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.560 it depends on the player, Like, um, some guys. Some 0:03:14.600 --> 0:03:17.120 guys are just naturally more a beat, right and actually 0:03:17.120 --> 0:03:20.040 more effusive in the way that they talk. But I'll say, 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.000 Lavante David was saying stuff like that, and he's not 0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.000 a man of a lot of words. I also don't 0:03:25.040 --> 0:03:28.360 think he's going to exaggerate or or just say that 0:03:28.400 --> 0:03:30.320 there's a different vibr on here just because it's the 0:03:30.400 --> 0:03:33.640 right thing to say. So, um, given enough players talking 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.400 that way, I think there's something to it. That being said, 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:41.040 there's always a bit of cause and effect to this issue. Um, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.720 you know what, For instance, guys are saying that they 0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:45.720 want to have more fun this year, and that's good, 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.680 but what comes first? You know, it tends to be 0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:52.880 more fun, and your team tends to be closer and 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:55.560 so on, so we'll see. I think the most important 0:03:55.560 --> 0:03:57.640 thing is not necessarily going to be the vibrun here, 0:03:57.640 --> 0:04:00.600 but if we were successful in adding talent that's going 0:04:00.640 --> 0:04:03.400 to take us to the next level. Like on paper, 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.480 what was done to the defensive line is fantastic. It 0:04:06.560 --> 0:04:10.240 looks awesome, and I think it will work, but you can't. 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:14.160 You can't guarantee it. You know, you you hope do 0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:15.720 the best you can to put the pieces together. I 0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:18.080 do think not only I know they want to run 0:04:18.160 --> 0:04:20.920 eight nine deep in a rotation if everything works out well, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:22.719 and that would be great because I think that's a 0:04:22.760 --> 0:04:24.640 proven way to really get the most out of your 0:04:24.720 --> 0:04:26.719 d line in the NFL, like the Eagles did last year. 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.040 But it also gives you a little bit more leeway 0:04:29.040 --> 0:04:31.760 to weather injuries. Like when Noah Spence went down last year, 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:35.400 we didn't really have another, you know, premier edge rusher 0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.040 type to replace them, right, so you didn't have to adjust. 0:04:38.400 --> 0:04:40.640 Now we've got a lot of guys that we can 0:04:40.720 --> 0:04:42.360 roll in it down there. And if you know, if 0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:44.960 Vinny Curry isn't available for a particular game, knock on 0:04:44.960 --> 0:04:47.159 what I didn't choose him for any particular nation. Uh, 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.599 you know, you still have a lot of depth to 0:04:48.760 --> 0:04:50.960 still have that good pass rush. Hopefully. That's a great point. 0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:53.760 Jeff wanted to know win training camp starts, and this 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:56.080 is a question that I've seen a lot, and part 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:58.000 of why I hadn't even brought it up is because 0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:01.240 we don't know all those dates for sure, yet is 0:05:01.279 --> 0:05:03.839 that still accurate at this point now? I was out 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.960 of town the last few days, but I don't believe 0:05:05.960 --> 0:05:08.400 there's been an announcement. It's usually right around this time 0:05:08.440 --> 0:05:11.039 of year. UM. I wrote about that in my last 0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:13.920 week's mail bag. It's last year. Last couple of years, 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:16.200 the announcement of which training camp dates were open to 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:20.160 the public, UM usually came in around June. So it 0:05:20.200 --> 0:05:22.280 should be coming out any day now, I would think, 0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.640 judging my history, one little trick you can do to 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.040 figure out when training camp starts is that teams are 0:05:28.040 --> 0:05:30.720 not allowed to start training camp more than fifteen days 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:34.080 before their first preseason game. Uh. To start counting back. Yeah, 0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:35.800 and they're not going to give away any of those days. 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.080 So every team starts on that exact day they're allowed to. 0:05:38.240 --> 0:05:40.800 So find out that what is it dogs twelve? Look 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.480 up the first preseason game, count back fifteen days, and 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.840 you're probably right about where the start of it will be. Okay, Uh, 0:05:46.960 --> 0:05:52.480 Brandon said, who are you most impressed by so far? Well, UM, 0:05:52.560 --> 0:05:56.920 Chris Godwin, just because according to the coach, he has 0:05:57.000 --> 0:06:00.719 been not only good, but so consisting instantly good like 0:06:00.760 --> 0:06:04.559 he does stuff every single practice that people feel good about. 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:10.479 UM on defense. You know, I will say this when 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.240 Brent Grimes and his voluntary we have to keep repeating 0:06:13.279 --> 0:06:15.280 that wasn't it every O t A. But he was 0:06:15.320 --> 0:06:18.040 at mandatory minicamp and there was an obvious difference. There 0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.839 was a clear difference. He's a playmaker. He uh. He 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:22.400 made a bunch of plays in the red zone and 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.520 one of the practices I was watching, and that makes 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.760 me also think of O. J. Howard who looked really 0:06:26.760 --> 0:06:28.400 good in the red zone in some of those drills. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:29.760 So he couldn't be a guy that takes a really 0:06:29.800 --> 0:06:32.000 big elite forward. That's great to hear. And I'm I'm 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:33.880 excited about this question. Kevin said, or any of the 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.080 offseason rule change is going to make a big difference. 0:06:36.120 --> 0:06:37.800 We haven't talked about that a whole lot on this show. Well, 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:41.239 I just wrote and we're posting today about the kickoff 0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:44.120 rule changes, and UM, I would urge you to go 0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.440 read that because I talked to our special teams coach 0:06:46.520 --> 0:06:48.320 Nate Catser because I want to know what he thought 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.680 would be the effect of all that. UM. Before I 0:06:51.720 --> 0:06:53.600 get into that, I will say the one that has 0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:56.560 the potential to make the most difference is obviously the 0:06:56.560 --> 0:06:59.360 new helmet rule, the leading with your helmet rule. Depending 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:03.920 on how strictly that is called, that could significantly change 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:05.640 the game. I tend to be of the belief that 0:07:05.680 --> 0:07:08.200 it's not. I'm not. I'm not one of these people 0:07:08.200 --> 0:07:10.400 that's really worrying about it a lot. If it happens, 0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:13.280 then we'll worry about it. I think they're they're looking 0:07:13.280 --> 0:07:16.160 for the egregious hits. I think they'll be eight or 0:07:16.200 --> 0:07:19.040 ten more those over the season than you've been used 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.000 to seeing. But I don't think it's gonna cause the 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:23.960 Floria flags every time when guy's helmet comes in contact 0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.840 with somebody else. I don't think that's the biggest ure. 0:07:25.840 --> 0:07:26.960 I think it's gonna be the ones where you can 0:07:27.040 --> 0:07:28.480 and you know, you can picture them in your mind, 0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.200 where a guy clearly could have made the tackle, even 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:34.240 a hard tackle, without involving his helmet, but he made 0:07:34.240 --> 0:07:36.040 this conscious decision to put his head down and leave 0:07:36.040 --> 0:07:37.280 with his helmet. And that's what they're trying to get 0:07:37.360 --> 0:07:40.320 rid of. Now, back to the kickoff thing. Um nate 0:07:40.440 --> 0:07:44.280 cats are are special teams. Coordinator says it's not clear 0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:46.320 yet which side is going to benefit the most. The 0:07:46.600 --> 0:07:50.240 design of the reason for the rule changes is UH 0:07:50.280 --> 0:07:53.720 to make the place safer. Um, but it will probably 0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:56.600 also result in one side or another kickoff or return 0:07:56.720 --> 0:07:59.680 coverage or return getting a bit more of an advantage. UH. 0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:01.600 And it if it turns out to be that it's 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:03.960 better for the return team, then that's gonna be a 0:08:03.960 --> 0:08:06.200 big change because the kickoff has been fading a little 0:08:06.200 --> 0:08:08.800 bit and there were only I think seven kickoff returns 0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.920 for touchdowns in the NFL last year. If that number 0:08:10.920 --> 0:08:13.760 goes up by eight or nine, ten, and hopefully one 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:15.120 or two of those are the Buccaneers that can make 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.960 a big difference, it could be exciting. I personally don't 0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.880 want to see it go up by like I don't 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.160 want to see a touchdown kickerf returning every game, but 0:08:22.240 --> 0:08:24.440 a few more would be cool. Yeah, I agree with that. UH. 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:26.280 Don wants to know who's the front runner to start 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:30.880 opposite of Grimes at corner boy. That's a that's a 0:08:30.920 --> 0:08:35.440 loaded question. That competition is so well, this is good, 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:38.480 it's so there's so many possibilities there. Okay, you can't 0:08:38.520 --> 0:08:40.679 discount Ryan Smith because he was the guy last year. 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.360 Um Carlton Davis has really opened a lot of eyes 0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:48.319 and could be a weapon against bigger receivers. But he's 0:08:48.320 --> 0:08:50.600 a rookie so whole. I think it's awesome. He's done 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.320 well so far. There's still a long way to go 0:08:52.360 --> 0:08:54.120 for him to be proven that he should be starting 0:08:54.120 --> 0:08:56.840 from day one when Pad's haven't even gone on yet exactly. 0:08:56.880 --> 0:09:01.079 And then um vernon hardrays because we mentioned several times, 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.760 has looked quite good and slot the spring, but it's 0:09:03.800 --> 0:09:05.520 been said that he's still in competition to start on 0:09:05.520 --> 0:09:07.640 the outside and maybe have a hybrid roll in and out. 0:09:07.720 --> 0:09:09.920 So are you asking me the thing? Did he ask 0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:14.280 me the favorite? Put me on the spot. I'm gonna 0:09:14.360 --> 0:09:17.360 I'm gonna roll the dice and go with Carlton Davis. Okay, 0:09:17.400 --> 0:09:19.679 I like that? Yeah, I hope so that would be 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.800 a good That would be a good sign. Okay. Uh, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:25.000 Joseph wants to know who seems to be imposing their 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:26.760 will more and the trenches, the O line or the 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.360 D line. I'll already start with the caveat you're gonna give. 0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.240 There's no pads on, so it's not exactly a representative sample, 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.360 but not at all is there anything that you feel 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:35.920 like you'd be able to tell him that you can't 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.440 tell they they just can't. We get fined and have 0:09:39.520 --> 0:09:41.960 practices removed if they were hitting each other way they 0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.000 were supposed to, and and really when you just come 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.760 up and make contact with them, kind of hold it there, 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:49.199 How can either side be imposing their will? I just 0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.640 don't see how it's possible to tell that. Being said, 0:09:51.679 --> 0:09:54.360 it's gonna be great when we get to training camp 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.440 and we get to see Ryan Jensen going against Vida 0:09:56.480 --> 0:09:58.120 bay at two new player. I mean Ryan just against 0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:01.080 Jerone quite too, But I'm talking about two players. Which 0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:04.000 one or both will you know, get the upper hand 0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.160 and you know which so which side will proven to 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.360 have a better edition? I like that. Chad said any 0:10:09.440 --> 0:10:13.160 chance a mid to late round or possibly even undrafted 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.120 player has a chance to be a surprise starter Starter 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:20.400 starter starter starter. Um, well, let's go down the Late 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.600 Lake guys. Would be if fourth round counts Jordan Whitehead, 0:10:23.600 --> 0:10:25.480 he's got a shot, He's got a shot safety because 0:10:25.520 --> 0:10:27.200 I think that's a little bit wide open. You can't 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.240 really count out. I think Justin Evans is almost a 0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:30.880 lock to be one of them, and Chris Conti is 0:10:30.920 --> 0:10:33.920 the incumbent and would be the probably other starter, but um, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:36.280 I think they viewed him, even as a fourth round pick, 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.080 as a guy that that could develop into a starter. 0:10:38.160 --> 0:10:40.360 So maybe if that happens quickly, I don't see how 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.720 fifth rounder Justin Watson or sixth round rounder Jack City 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:46.720 is really in line to start unless Kindle back with 0:10:46.800 --> 0:10:48.760 us out and at the start of the season, City 0:10:48.840 --> 0:10:51.040 is the best option there, But I don't think either 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.080 those are terribly likely, although I do think they'll both 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.280 be on the roster. Um undrafted guys, there's some guys 0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:58.320 that are gonna make it. I'd keep my eyes on 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.120 Sean Wilson, the running the running back, ack Um, the 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:04.280 tight end, some of those tight ends, maybe Donnie Earnsberger Um, 0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.880 the safety, Godwin Iguay b K. But I don't think 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.000 any of those would probably be starters. Okay, Yes, Ed said, 0:11:11.080 --> 0:11:12.280 it looks like the d line is going to be 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:16.280 much improved. How does that affect the scheme in the secondary? Well, 0:11:17.320 --> 0:11:21.040 it affects the secondary simply by hopefully reducing by a 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.280 good amount the amount of time that they have to cover. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.120 Because in the NFL, with these receivers and these quarterbacks. 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.880 You can't give them too much time or they're always 0:11:28.920 --> 0:11:31.040 going to get somebody open, right, And we saw a 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:32.360 little bit of that. We saw a lot of that 0:11:32.440 --> 0:11:34.120 last year, didn't we. Yeah. Do you do you think 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:37.400 that that would increase the amount of press coverage that 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.160 they would want to do, especially knowing that again they 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:42.040 wouldn't have to cover as long But then or is 0:11:42.080 --> 0:11:44.200 that more of a decision about personnel in the secondary, 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.640 And probably because the reducing the time helps you whether 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:51.760 you're doing press or zone, um in different ways. But yeah, 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:53.800 you could see. I do think there's gonna be some 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:56.920 more press and if you can combine a faster pass 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.559 rush with effective press coverage, you can keep guys from 0:11:59.640 --> 0:12:03.000 ever getting into their route quickly enough for the quarterback 0:12:03.040 --> 0:12:05.600 to have a chance to throw it. Um. So that's 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:09.080 a good thing. I think in terms of scheme, it 0:12:09.160 --> 0:12:12.200 may affect a defensive line more. Um. You may just 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:16.839 have more simpler lineup and go get your go get them, 0:12:16.960 --> 0:12:18.760 rather than need to do stunts and things like that. 0:12:18.800 --> 0:12:21.520 I think it may be a simpler approach up front, 0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.400 just with more rotation and pressure legs. Yeah, that was 0:12:24.440 --> 0:12:28.280 something that some some people were discussing as seeing it 0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:31.200 practice how they were all playing different positions on the 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:33.719 line that coach Buckner seems to really be emphasizing to 0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:36.680 them that they are d alignment. They are not interior 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:40.560 or outside that they are. So maybe we'll see alignment. 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:42.839 And I thought that would be intriguing. So maybe we'll 0:12:42.840 --> 0:12:44.440 see a couple of stamps where I don't know, general 0:12:44.520 --> 0:12:47.800 mccoise on the edge would be interesting. And they said 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.840 there was an example of JPP being on the inside. 0:12:49.840 --> 0:12:52.160 It's just I find all of that to be really interesting. 0:12:52.200 --> 0:12:56.680 That would be cool if if opposing teams are coming 0:12:56.679 --> 0:12:58.559 into a game thinking, this is this is the guy 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:00.920 we got to stop, whether that's McCoy or JPP or whatever, 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:02.720 it would be good if there was some mystery as 0:13:02.720 --> 0:13:04.600 to where they were going to find that guy from 0:13:04.640 --> 0:13:07.800 snap to snap. Yeah. Uh, Stephen wants to know. Is 0:13:07.800 --> 0:13:12.800 there a front runner in the kicker battle this early? Yeah, 0:13:12.920 --> 0:13:15.240 the guy we signed as a free agent, Chandler Cotton Zarow. 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.240 And that's not too um, you know, say anything bad 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.240 about the rookie and the Rockey kicker actually look pretty 0:13:20.240 --> 0:13:22.440 good at the driver more Y, Yeah, he's been looking 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:26.320 really great too. But seriously, you sign and it's still 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.559 no matter what happens. Is an awesome opportunity for Trevor 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:30.959 Moore and every every kicker's NFL kirker's career has to 0:13:31.000 --> 0:13:33.080 start somewhere, and most of them take a while to 0:13:33.080 --> 0:13:34.760 get started. Most of them are on you have too guys. 0:13:35.040 --> 0:13:36.440 Most of them have to go to a few camps. 0:13:36.800 --> 0:13:38.360 Maybe Trevor more will win the job here. I'm not 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:40.480 going to discount that. But the obvious front runner is 0:13:40.520 --> 0:13:43.880 the guy you gave a pretty decent sized free agency contract, right, Yeah, 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.280 that's it's always interesting how that does seem too effective 0:13:47.320 --> 0:13:49.600 instead of it just being about these two. I mean, 0:13:49.720 --> 0:13:53.240 how you acquire a player can factor into the decision 0:13:53.280 --> 0:13:55.440 to a degree. And I'll say that, and I say 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:58.920 that not because I think that his the contract that 0:13:58.960 --> 0:14:01.400 he's getting is the important part of the equation here, 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:03.520 that the Bucks are going to choose him because they 0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:05.880 give him that much money. But simply you got that 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.480 much money because you have already established yourself as a 0:14:08.559 --> 0:14:12.880 good NFL kicker, and therefore if you have any early 0:14:12.880 --> 0:14:16.679 struggles in training camp, knock on what hopefully it doesn't happen. Um, 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:18.839 you're going to be given a little more leeway because 0:14:18.840 --> 0:14:21.240 there's a track record. You know, if if Chandler misses 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:24.640 a kick in his first preseason game, We're not you know, 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:26.840 getting all worried thinking what we gotta go with the 0:14:26.840 --> 0:14:29.600 young guy. So I think that's the reason that's true. 0:14:29.600 --> 0:14:31.160 All right. Well, and with this one, Ryan wants to 0:14:31.200 --> 0:14:34.200 know what is the most important offseason edition we made? 0:14:36.640 --> 0:14:41.160 M Can I have like a five way tie? I 0:14:41.200 --> 0:14:43.240 think in the I think in the long run it's 0:14:43.240 --> 0:14:48.120 gonna be de Bayo, really, but maybe right away i'd 0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.320 say the I'm gonna cheat a little and say the 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.280 combo of the combo vans of of JPP and Vinny Curry. Okay, 0:14:54.400 --> 0:14:56.960 so the immediate improvement versus the long term effect on 0:14:57.000 --> 0:14:59.160 the franchise, that would be or two different. And you know, 0:14:59.760 --> 0:15:02.840 you took some people question vitave over some other positions, 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.400 which as defensive tackle, especially after we signed Bone, may 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:07.480 not have seemed like the biggest need. But I think 0:15:08.480 --> 0:15:11.120 I think they value this guy as you know, as 0:15:11.120 --> 0:15:14.200 a guy that can become a game changing defensive tackle 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:16.080 and the likes of Gerald McCoy or Aaron Donald and 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.600 those aren't easy to get Gino Atkins, guys like that, 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:21.200 and when those guys developed into that, like all the 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:23.480 guys I just mentioned, they tend to be good every 0:15:23.520 --> 0:15:25.120 year for a lot of years in a row. And 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:27.280 that's a good thing to have. And so even though 0:15:27.320 --> 0:15:29.680 you have Jeral McCoy, it can't hurt to have another 0:15:29.720 --> 0:15:33.080 defensive tackle who's among the elite. And I think they 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.760 drafted him because they think he will be that. And 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:39.560 and that's probably of everybody we added three or four 0:15:39.640 --> 0:15:41.480 years ago, three or four years from now, we're going 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:43.760 to think that was the most important one. Yeah, that's 0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.320 a great point. All right. Well, thanks so much for 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.760 joining us here on Buccaneers Inside are Live, presented by 0:15:47.800 --> 0:15:49.880 Miller Lte. Thanks for being here this week, and we 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.240 hope you'll join us next week as well, and be 0:15:51.280 --> 0:15:53.920 thinking of those questions throughout the week to send us 0:15:53.960 --> 0:15:55.880 on Facebook. Have a great rest of your day.
