WEBVTT - Filling Out The Roster, Potential Rule Changes | Bucs Insider | Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0:00:00.240 --> 0:00:02.759 Welcome into Bucks Insider, coming to you from the Bucks Studio, 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.640 presented by Ticketmaster Casey Phillips here with Scott Smith and 0:00:05.760 --> 0:00:06.360 Bree Dix. 0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:08.039 And we have plenty to get to today. 0:00:08.080 --> 0:00:09.719 Just when you think it is the dead time of year, 0:00:10.600 --> 0:00:13.039 no such thing. And so we've got signings we talked 0:00:13.039 --> 0:00:13.960 about a little bit last week. 0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:14.840 We're going to dive more into. 0:00:14.880 --> 0:00:16.840 We got a new one, We've got the owners meetings 0:00:16.840 --> 0:00:19.720 coming up with potential rule changes, so plenty to dive into. 0:00:20.079 --> 0:00:22.040 Let's start with the signing we had not gotten to 0:00:22.160 --> 0:00:23.840 address yet from last week, and that. 0:00:23.880 --> 0:00:26.640 Is Sua Opeta is resigned and returned. 0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.440 Bucks fans may be like, wait, who, because unfortunately for him, 0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:32.440 he didn't get a chance to play last year because 0:00:32.920 --> 0:00:34.800 he came off that ACL But I do feel like 0:00:34.840 --> 0:00:37.640 this is a great signing for the potential of the 0:00:37.640 --> 0:00:38.680 depth of the offensive line. 0:00:38.720 --> 0:00:41.000 Yeah, Jason Light just keeps bringing them back, Jason Light 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:43.800 and company. This is a lot like the resigning of 0:00:43.800 --> 0:00:46.640 Bryce Hall. You know, he got hurt in the first game, 0:00:46.840 --> 0:00:49.800 had played about eleven snaps, but the Bucks resigned him. 0:00:49.800 --> 0:00:52.600 Because both these guys obviously have recovered or are close 0:00:52.640 --> 0:00:54.880 to finishing recovery from their injuries, and if they liked 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:58.040 them a year ago, you know there's they like them still, 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:02.960 Sue Opeta. What he brings is a valuable experience to 0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.480 the interior line and depth because if you look at it, 0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:07.520 I know they like Elijahklin a lot, last year six 0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.680 round draft pick, but he didn't really get to play 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:12.479 because firstly, nobody got hurt, which is great, not yet void, 0:01:13.840 --> 0:01:17.720 but everybody Klein and everybody else of the Bucks having 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.440 their current depth chart behind the really good three starters, 0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:23.120 has virtually no experience, so it's nice to have that 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:25.720 veteran there. He stepped in for six games with the 0:01:25.760 --> 0:01:27.520 Eagles in two thousand and three, and that's a really 0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.200 good offensive line, stepped in for some good players when 0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.720 they were hurt and kept everything strong. So I think 0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:36.559 he's a perfect addition to this line. Even though it's 0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:38.119 very strong upfront, it does need. 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.399 Some teps well, considering this significant injury to Opeta but 0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.319 also Bryce Hall, I think that just goes to shown 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.800 as a testament to what they saw during that small, 0:01:45.840 --> 0:01:47.880 simple size that they did get to see them, that 0:01:47.920 --> 0:01:50.160 they were able to bring them back yep. 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:52.080 And I think that it's been a theme we've talked 0:01:52.080 --> 0:01:55.360 about a bit this off season, is that last year 0:01:55.400 --> 0:01:58.320 when a backup was called upon, they were very green. 0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:00.920 They had not played a lot, either for us or anybody. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:03.680 They were, especially on defense. But it was it was 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:06.040 a common theme, and now we've seen that by resigning 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.639 guys like Sue Opeda and even Anthony Walker that we'll 0:02:08.639 --> 0:02:09.519 talk about as well. 0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:11.760 But now if again knocking on the way. 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:13.760 We never want injuries, but if they do happen, you're 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.360 not feeling necessarily like you're having to call upon someone 0:02:16.360 --> 0:02:19.280 who doesn't have as much experience. My one little fun 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.160 fact I have about Sue Opeda, you know, I love 0:02:21.200 --> 0:02:24.040 to have a fun fact. He had the highest number 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.440 of bench reps his year at the combine of any 0:02:26.440 --> 0:02:29.800 position of any player, thirty nine. And he beat the 0:02:29.840 --> 0:02:32.639 next best guy by five reps. So it wasn't even 0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.519 just like one more. He crushed the field his year. 0:02:36.160 --> 0:02:36.880 That's impressive. 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.120 Yeah, So obviously, great strength, great strength. 0:02:39.200 --> 0:02:41.760 We got that going course was from interior alignment in particular. 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:42.360 Big deal. 0:02:42.440 --> 0:02:44.280 So all right, so let's move on to a couple 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:45.960 of these guys that we did mention last week that 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.200 they had re signed. But now, of course they've had 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.120 their press conferences, we've gotten to hear a little bit 0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:53.840 more from them. So let's start with wide receiver Sterling Sheppard. 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.440 This is a guy who had seemed like he played 0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.720 a lot in the league, been very successful, ended up 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:00.359 on the practice squad a little bit, but then got 0:03:00.400 --> 0:03:02.919 called upon to do some pretty major things. So tell 0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.960 us a little bit about why you think they wanted 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.880 to bring him back and the value he has brought 0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:07.520 to this offense. 0:03:07.760 --> 0:03:09.600 Well, like you said, originally when they signed him last 0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:11.920 year on the one year deal, started on the practice squad, 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:15.440 and then they activated him in Week five, and he 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:18.600 played a significant role following the injury to Chris Godwin, 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.680 kind of emerged as that number three guy, and I 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.000 think you saw just kind of his impact on third 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:24.680 downs over. 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:25.240 The middle of the field. 0:03:25.240 --> 0:03:28.720 But also he has that familiarity with Baker Mayfield going 0:03:28.760 --> 0:03:31.919 back to their days at Oklahoma, and I think you're 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.560 just going to get to see that chemistry that they 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.120 have kind of continue to grow. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:37.640 And I loved in. 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.360 His presser he talked a lot about the way that 0:03:40.400 --> 0:03:42.200 Mike Evans, the way that Chris god With, the way 0:03:42.240 --> 0:03:43.000 that Tristan works. 0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.120 They all attack the game of football. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.040 Has kind of reignited his love for the game and 0:03:48.080 --> 0:03:50.240 motivates him and makes him want to go that much 0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:50.840 more hard. 0:03:51.080 --> 0:03:52.800 Yeah, think about it. I mean, he admitted he was 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:55.920 kind of on the road to retirement last offseason after 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:57.880 that time with the eighth Giants, and I think it was 0:03:58.160 --> 0:04:00.720 largely because after a real nice start to his career, 0:04:01.200 --> 0:04:03.560 he really lost a lot of time for about three 0:04:03.680 --> 0:04:06.000 or four straight years with injuries, and so you can 0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.000 understand why a player has been struggling to get through 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.480 the season might decide, Okay, this is the time to 0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.280 hang him up. I've had a good career. But he 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.000 comes here. He did have some injury issues before the 0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:17.440 season started, and like you said, began the season on 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:20.839 practice squad, but he pretty quickly grew into an important 0:04:20.920 --> 0:04:23.240 role and by the end of the season he was 0:04:23.320 --> 0:04:26.280 healthy and he didn't have any He didn't play seventeen 0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.359 games because he started on the practice squad, but he 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:30.279 didn't miss any time due to injuries, and I think 0:04:30.360 --> 0:04:32.960 that kind of reinvigorated him, like I've still got football 0:04:33.000 --> 0:04:34.440 left to him. He said, it was like the most 0:04:34.440 --> 0:04:36.440 football he's played in a long time. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:38.760 Yeah, well, let's take a listen to his press conference 0:04:38.760 --> 0:04:40.839 where he addressed what we just talked about. 0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.359 I knew that I had a lot to give in 0:04:44.440 --> 0:04:48.320 the tank after leaving New York. It was just kind 0:04:48.320 --> 0:04:51.240 of the situation and not really being in the position 0:04:51.279 --> 0:04:52.800 to play as much and then wanting to go with 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:56.400 the younger guys, which is understandable, but I knew I 0:04:56.440 --> 0:04:58.640 had a lot more to give, and as soon as 0:04:58.680 --> 0:05:00.760 I got my opportunity, I had to make the most 0:05:00.800 --> 0:05:03.520 of it. And you know, I feel like I have 0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:07.040 a little bit of ball left to play and I 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:08.520 just want to max it out all the way. I 0:05:08.520 --> 0:05:10.200 feel like I can clean up some of the stuff 0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.800 that I even did last year. It was more bald 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:16.080 than I got to play in a long time last year, 0:05:16.160 --> 0:05:18.320 So I feel like getting that underneath me is going 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:18.880 to help me out. 0:05:19.640 --> 0:05:19.839 Yeah. 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.200 Very excited to have a guy like Stirling back. And 0:05:22.440 --> 0:05:24.279 again we've talked about how much they've loved to bring 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.480 back these guys. They already know who they are, what 0:05:26.520 --> 0:05:29.359 they bring, that consistency, especially on offense. 0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:30.799 Everyone is back. 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.480 Every great but one of the few new editions we've 0:05:34.480 --> 0:05:37.920 had from free agency is Anthony Walker linebacker. So Scott, 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.360 tell me a little bit about what stands out to 0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:41.040 you now about him, and especially now that we've gotten 0:05:41.040 --> 0:05:41.560 to hear from him in. 0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:42.000 The press, Cools. 0:05:42.080 --> 0:05:44.200 I think I covered already last week. The most important 0:05:44.240 --> 0:05:46.880 note about Anthony Walker right, yes, northwest, of. 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:48.440 Course, most important by far. 0:05:49.000 --> 0:05:51.400 What I liked in this press convice was and I 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.520 think maybe an issue we've had in the middle of 0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:55.760 the field. We've had some issues in the middle of 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:59.400 field of coverage last year or two. Obviously, Levante has 0:05:59.400 --> 0:06:01.839 always been good that his career, but he's just one man. 0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:05.159 I think Anthony Walker has shown throughout his career that 0:06:05.200 --> 0:06:08.200 he's a good coverage linebacker. And especially when you're playing 0:06:08.200 --> 0:06:11.240 in Tampa too. You guys know this. You got the 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.920 middle linebacker has a lot of response. Yeah, and see 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:17.040 he he was funny because he kind of laughed. I 0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.160 guess these players do sometimes pay attention to like PFF 0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:22.640 grades and stuff like that. He's like that stuff's out there. 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:25.479 You watch the film. I do not get beat down 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:27.560 the middle behind me, and I do not get beat 0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:29.679 down the middle in front of me. So I can't 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:31.640 what else can you ask for? I can't claim that 0:06:31.680 --> 0:06:34.280 I would then ran and watched the film, so I 0:06:34.360 --> 0:06:35.920 will just take his word, take him his word, but 0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:38.200 that's something that would be a very nice edition to 0:06:38.240 --> 0:06:39.200 the Buck Stefens. 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.560 And you brought up Alevonte David and we found out 0:06:41.560 --> 0:06:43.200 that this is another key component. 0:06:43.640 --> 0:06:48.000 So both Leavonte David and Anthony Walker, they're both from Miami. 0:06:48.040 --> 0:06:50.960 They've trained together in the off season, and he said 0:06:51.040 --> 0:06:53.640 in his presser that they've lobbied to be on the 0:06:53.680 --> 0:06:56.880 same team since Anthony Walker was drafted. Now the dream 0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.040 comes true, And I just think I loved his quote 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.919 on the David just talking about. 0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.599 The impact that he's had, the way that he's. 0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.600 Touched so many lives in the city of Tampa, and 0:07:06.600 --> 0:07:09.120 that essentially for him, there was no better player that 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.680 he would rather play alongside. So I'm excited to see 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.080 the way that Todd Bowles uses Anthony Walker but also 0:07:15.240 --> 0:07:17.920 Servassi a Dennis and kind of how that ends up looking. 0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.320 I think it's going to be really interesting to watch. 0:07:20.360 --> 0:07:23.000 That's definitely one of the position groups that his the 0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.160 potential to have the most change. But they think godness 0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:28.200 Lavante is still back, so there is some of that veteran. 0:07:28.000 --> 0:07:30.640 Consistency, a draft pick there, but might add a draft 0:07:30.640 --> 0:07:30.920 pick there. 0:07:30.960 --> 0:07:32.760 That's going to be a really interesting group to watch. 0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:34.960 All right, so we have a trivia question. I did 0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:36.640 end up getting a stump Scott, but we got it 0:07:36.680 --> 0:07:38.280 to last minute to add, so stay tuned for that, 0:07:38.800 --> 0:07:41.800 oh in coming weeks. I just didn't notice it in time. 0:07:42.400 --> 0:07:45.240 That dang hidden messages part of the Instagram app but 0:07:45.280 --> 0:07:48.120 got me. But we I did find it, so person 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.680 who sent it to me, I appreciated it. 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:51.640 We will use it for now. We're going to do 0:07:51.640 --> 0:07:54.200 our regular trivia question. So, Brie, what do we got here? 0:07:54.240 --> 0:07:58.800 Alrode. When the Buccaneers drafted punter Ja Kamarta in twenty 0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.880 twenty two, he was from rush Off winning a national championship. 0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.360 With Georgia prior to that. 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.160 Who was the last player from a reigning Division one 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:09.680 champion drafted by the Buccaneers. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:14.640 I no, okay, I was hopeful as she started reading 0:08:14.680 --> 0:08:16.480 the question. I was hopeful the question was just gonna be. 0:08:16.560 --> 0:08:18.680 Where did Jake win the championship? And I was gonna 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:19.720 be like Georgia. 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.960 Yeah, no, all right, So we're gonna cover another little 0:08:22.960 --> 0:08:24.240 topic and then we'll give you the answer at the 0:08:24.360 --> 0:08:26.000 end for everyone playing along at home, We'll give you 0:08:26.000 --> 0:08:27.960 a few minutes to think about it. I wish I 0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:29.600 didn't have to keep talking, so I could think harder 0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:32.200 about it and have a chance. Okay, great, and then 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:34.960 I'll think okay. So we have the owners meetings coming 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.240 up next week, which a is always a great chance 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.240 to hear from owners, general managers, coaches, people like that. 0:08:40.320 --> 0:08:42.320 But it's also one of the big things is the 0:08:42.400 --> 0:08:45.080 rule changes that get proposed, Some get passed, some do not. 0:08:45.120 --> 0:08:47.839 And it's always funny. Some years nothing happens. Some years 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:50.200 a lot happens, and of course last year was one 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:52.320 of those times that there was a fairly large rule 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:55.600 change that, especially that kickoff stuff. So tell me Scott 0:08:55.640 --> 0:08:57.559 a little bit about what are the things that are proposed, 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.000 how we feel about it, how likely some of these 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:01.040 things are to pass. 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:03.079 Well, we'll start with what you were just talking about, 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:06.920 that the new kickoff format with the players five yards 0:09:06.960 --> 0:09:11.400 apart and the landing zone and all that. That A 0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:13.360 lot of times when you have a big major rule 0:09:13.440 --> 0:09:16.480 change like that, think back when we did the you 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.600 could review passer inference, you could challenge passer inference or 0:09:19.640 --> 0:09:21.960 non passer inference calls. They do that on a one 0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.640 year basis and if they like how it went, then 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.240 they vote to do it, you know, make it permanent. 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.480 Now that nobody liked that pass and inference once, so 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.280 they scraped that one. But they're happy with the how 0:09:32.320 --> 0:09:34.840 the kickoff format worked in terms of it's a safer 0:09:34.880 --> 0:09:36.920 play now. It was the most dangerous play in the game, 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.959 highest number of injuries, and they're happy that they've managed 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:44.000 to make it a less dangerous play. So they want 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.760 to keep the format, but they weren't really necessarily happy 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:49.160 with the amount of returns. It went up from about 0:09:49.200 --> 0:09:51.920 twenty one percent of kickoffs getting returned before the new 0:09:52.000 --> 0:09:54.640 rule to about thirty two percent. So like, how can 0:09:54.679 --> 0:09:56.679 we make now that this is a safe play, we 0:09:56.720 --> 0:09:58.440 want to get more returns in the game, how do 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.600 we do that? Well, going to put their proposing making 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:04.280 the touchback on a kickoff not the thirty but now 0:10:04.320 --> 0:10:06.400 the thirty five, even. 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:09.160 More penalty for doing one, Like, we want you to 0:10:09.200 --> 0:10:09.840 not do this. 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.960 We don't want touchbacks. So the reason being, so the 0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.839 touchbock was at the thirty and the average drive start 0:10:16.920 --> 0:10:18.920 on when they did return the ball was around the 0:10:18.960 --> 0:10:21.520 twenty nine. So most teams are like, let's just give 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:23.520 them one more yard and not risk giving up the 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.560 big one, right. I don't know about you, guys. You 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.640 can tell me how you feel. I don't like it. 0:10:29.200 --> 0:10:32.880 Tell me at some point, at some point, we're making 0:10:32.920 --> 0:10:35.760 this too easy for offense. Think about the Dallas game 0:10:35.840 --> 0:10:39.080 last December. Bucks kicked off to start the game, The 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:42.160 defense held Dallas to thirty yards, and they kicked a 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.400 field goal. Yep, because they have one of these great, 0:10:44.520 --> 0:10:48.000 big laid kickers. We were already talking about how the 0:10:48.000 --> 0:10:50.240 calculus of the game has changed with the new touchback 0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:54.199 rule and how far these these kickers can reliably make 0:10:54.200 --> 0:10:55.920 field goals From that, you don't even have to have 0:10:55.960 --> 0:10:58.280 a good drive anymore to score a field goal. So 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:00.880 now think about starting five yards even closer. You could 0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:03.240 get like one eighteen yard pass and all of a sudden, 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:03.720 you're kicking. 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.439 A fifty years, which we will love if we are 0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.679 the team doing that to win the game. Yes, I mean, 0:11:08.760 --> 0:11:10.640 that's so It's funny, is it depends on like it's 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.160 You're right, it definitely is favoring the offense. But then 0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:16.520 in the league that they've clearly decided that that's their priorities, 0:11:16.520 --> 0:11:17.720 trying to create more offense. 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:19.439 A lot of the rule changes have been about that. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.440 And it does make it potentially more exciting and fun 0:11:22.480 --> 0:11:24.599 to have these chances where you'd normally say at the 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:26.200 end of the game, at least the rest of the game. 0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:28.079 I kind of agree with you on, like, all right, 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.040 let's make them work a little bit here to at 0:11:30.120 --> 0:11:32.079 least get three. But how cool at the end of 0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.160 the game that there might be more chances to have 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.439 that game tying or game winning field goal when you 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:37.200 might otherwise not. 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:38.480 I'm trying to make the optimist. Scott. 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.680 Let me I agree with a love. Do you love 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.600 watching field goals? Do you want a lot more field goals? 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:44.920 No? 0:11:45.000 --> 0:11:46.760 But I want them if we're down by three. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:50.599 Twenty seconds only applies to the Buccaneers. We're happy with. 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:52.920 Okay, yes, yeah, there we go. Now we've settled that. 0:11:53.440 --> 0:11:56.240 Then another one is uh, phile, I think put this one. 0:11:56.320 --> 0:11:58.640 And they want to make the regular season overtime rules 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:03.480 the same as post season, which now you know each 0:12:03.559 --> 0:12:05.559 team possesses the ball at least once, even if the 0:12:05.600 --> 0:12:07.800 first team scores a touchdown and till he wants to 0:12:07.880 --> 0:12:11.520 do that like that that co sign. Yeah, I mean 0:12:12.240 --> 0:12:14.440 for a while, I think the Bucks would have liked 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:17.160 that rule last year, Yeah, because the Atlanta and Kanas 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.520 City games went overtime and they never touched the ball 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:21.760 on overtime. So I'd be willing to bet we get. 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:22.880 We won't guess on this one. 0:12:22.920 --> 0:12:24.760 I've always even been the proponent of I wish we 0:12:24.800 --> 0:12:27.760 even did the college rules for overtime those I love that, 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.240 So I'm like, at least this is better, you know. 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:32.480 But yeah, I think the sudden death thing, I mean, 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:34.400 you can always make the argument again of like defense 0:12:34.440 --> 0:12:36.600 has got to step up, but it's just it's rough 0:12:36.720 --> 0:12:38.680 when you don't even get the chance and it's. 0:12:38.600 --> 0:12:39.560 Based on a coin flip. 0:12:39.600 --> 0:12:41.719 It's right, That's what I think is so sad is 0:12:41.760 --> 0:12:44.160 it's it's the fact that the coin flip is so 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:46.400 vital and imperian and you have no control over that. 0:12:46.520 --> 0:12:48.160 And how many times have we seen that play out 0:12:48.200 --> 0:12:49.640 between the Chiefs and the Bills. 0:12:49.679 --> 0:12:54.000 I'm sure I imagine he's the one that submitted the. 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:59.200 But it's just like every single time, it's like, just yeah, 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:01.160 they they an opportunity to. 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:03.520 So those are probably some of the top ones. What 0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:04.079 else do we have? 0:13:04.679 --> 0:13:06.480 They want to expand you know what they call the 0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:10.080 sky judge, where they you know, they see something upstairs 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.079 and they just really quickly get it down to the 0:13:12.160 --> 0:13:13.959 officials and they get the call right. They want to 0:13:14.000 --> 0:13:19.320 expand the number of plays and occurrences that this can apply. 0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:21.200 To, which I think is probably usually the sky dridge 0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:23.600 is quicker than like a full review. It's been working 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.280 and so therefore it's like we all want the calls 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:26.760 to be right, and we all want the game to 0:13:26.880 --> 0:13:28.360 not be delayed more than it has to be. 0:13:28.640 --> 0:13:30.480 So that feels like a two birds ones. 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.439 I mean, I think like we've seen that it works, 0:13:32.880 --> 0:13:35.679 so just letting it work on more things is probably 0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:37.880 a good thing. You get it right, get it right quickly? Right? 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:38.080 Sure? 0:13:38.120 --> 0:13:38.400 All right? 0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:38.840 What's next? 0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.640 This one? I really actually like. Detroit wants to remove 0:13:43.200 --> 0:13:46.600 the automatic first down part of the penalty for defensive 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:51.079 holding an illegal contact. I have always felt that this 0:13:51.320 --> 0:13:54.360 was an overly punitive penalty, and it just I mean, 0:13:55.000 --> 0:13:58.439 I like to think of this in the the the 0:13:58.640 --> 0:14:01.199 eyesight of a fan, like when you're watching the game. 0:14:01.480 --> 0:14:04.079 Are there many more irritating occurrences that happened in the 0:14:04.160 --> 0:14:06.400 game than when your defense is on the field, it's 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:08.840 third and twelve, they throw the ball over to the right, 0:14:09.600 --> 0:14:11.640 it's incomplete, but there's a flag on the other side 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:14.920 because of defensive holding, and it's an automatic first down. 0:14:15.040 --> 0:14:17.160 Yeah, that seems just too much. 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.920 Now, there's been a lot of pushbacks since this was 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:23.640 announced that there will be as they keep saying, unintended consequences. 0:14:23.720 --> 0:14:26.160 Yeah, people holding on third and twelve, coaches. 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:28.120 Teaching him to do so. I still think it's worth that. 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:30.160 I don't think it would make that big of a difference, 0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:32.080 but you know, it could be wrong. I don't actually 0:14:32.080 --> 0:14:33.040 expect this to pass though. 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.000 Interesting. I'm kind of with you. I think I like 0:14:35.040 --> 0:14:36.440 it all right. And then the next one, of course, 0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:37.640 is the one the Eagles. 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:40.400 Care they Well, it wasn't then that it was Green 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.200 Bay that made this proposal to ban the push push play. 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:45.880 I don't really have a strong feeling on this, do 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:46.160 you guys? 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.800 Yeah, well, I kind of I liked what Todd boll 0:14:48.880 --> 0:14:51.560 said about it at the at the combine was kind 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:53.120 of like, well, and then we find a. 0:14:53.160 --> 0:14:53.800 Way to stop it. 0:14:54.000 --> 0:14:56.080 They're going to keep having success with this, so why 0:14:56.120 --> 0:14:57.840 don't you just find a way to stop it instead? 0:14:58.480 --> 0:15:01.280 And the actually you know what it's called. 0:15:03.280 --> 0:15:06.120 That's our counter to that rule change is having vita vea. 0:15:06.240 --> 0:15:07.960 So I think that's why we're like it's fine, and 0:15:08.040 --> 0:15:10.640 other teams like no, because they don't have a veta. 0:15:10.680 --> 0:15:13.680 It's just really specific. Yeah, and they don't even want 0:15:13.720 --> 0:15:17.160 to ban pushing from by a teammate, just can't push 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.720 like immediately after the snap. 0:15:18.800 --> 0:15:20.560 And I don't know, yeah, I would like to also 0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.520 ban the flying over it like we saw in the 0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:26.640 that that had got ridiculous. All right, so next what 0:15:26.760 --> 0:15:27.520 we have got a couple. 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:30.200 More Yeah, this is a big one. This comes up 0:15:30.240 --> 0:15:32.600 every few years whenever there's a team that finishes with 0:15:32.680 --> 0:15:35.680 a record that's noticeably better than the division winner, but 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:37.120 they're a wild card and they have to go on 0:15:37.200 --> 0:15:40.640 the road. That's never bothered me personally, but Detroit, I 0:15:40.760 --> 0:15:44.880 think uh suggested to the seating is only based on 0:15:45.160 --> 0:15:48.320 your record, So last year, Minnesota would have been seated 0:15:48.360 --> 0:15:49.840 higher than the Rams, and the Rams would have had 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:55.120 to go to Minnesota. To me, I guess I'm I'm not. 0:15:55.160 --> 0:15:57.240 I don't view myself as old school a by a 0:15:57.280 --> 0:15:58.720 lot of things, But I think I am on this one. 0:15:58.760 --> 0:16:02.640 I mean sports more sports and ours in particular have divisions, 0:16:02.720 --> 0:16:05.440 and they always have and they've meant something, and if 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:07.920 you win your division, you get a reward. That's just 0:16:08.000 --> 0:16:11.360 always the way it's been. So I don't know, I 0:16:11.560 --> 0:16:13.320 think you should still. I know that every now and 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.520
