WEBVTT - Breaking Down the Win over Dallas, Key Matchups with the Saints | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.880 --> 0:00:08.760
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Bucks Insider Live Casey Phillips, who was senior

0:00:08.800 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>writer and editor Scott Smith, and we have a week

0:00:11.320 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>one win to talk about, always our favorite on this show,

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and then we're gonna of course look ahead of the

0:00:15.560 --> 0:00:17.480
<v Speaker 1>Saints game, and if you have any questions for us,

0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.440
<v Speaker 1>you can leave those underneath our Facebook live video will

0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.200
<v Speaker 1>get to those in a minute. So of course, as always,

0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>we just like to start with major takeaways from the game,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.280
<v Speaker 1>which is always a more fun segment after a win,

0:00:27.360 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, yeah, sure is. Obviously that was a defensive

0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:32.879
<v Speaker 1>driven game and it was a dominant defensive performance, and

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:35.640
<v Speaker 1>that's where you should begin when describing how the Buccaneers

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.159
<v Speaker 1>won that game. But honestly, the biggest takeaway from me

0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>was that the offensive line performed a lot better than

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.920
<v Speaker 1>probably a lot of people outside the building anticipated that

0:00:44.920 --> 0:00:47.640
<v Speaker 1>it would. Now to be clear, there was plenty of

0:00:47.680 --> 0:00:50.960
<v Speaker 1>confidence in that line inside the building, and particularly Jason

0:00:51.040 --> 0:00:53.959
<v Speaker 1>Latt has been outspoken about how the Buccaneers have confidence,

0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>particularly in the two young guys Robert Hainsey and Lukettiki

0:00:57.560 --> 0:00:59.640
<v Speaker 1>playing center and left card and we have talked, i

0:00:59.640 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>think this show about how those guys were drafted to

0:01:03.240 --> 0:01:05.440
<v Speaker 1>become starters. It was a third round pick on Hainzy.

0:01:05.440 --> 0:01:06.920
<v Speaker 1>They didn't know if they're gonna be able to resign

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Jensen, so they had anticipated him, you know, taking

0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>over at some point. And when they drafted Luke Getticky

0:01:12.840 --> 0:01:14.960
<v Speaker 1>in the second round, they said, this guy's competing right

0:01:15.000 --> 0:01:17.840
<v Speaker 1>now for the starting left guard job, which he won.

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 1>The offensive line performed very well. They actually ran the

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.280
<v Speaker 1>ball extremely well. Leonard Fournet did to the left side

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:26.760
<v Speaker 1>behind Luke Ettickey and and um Donovan Smith and then

0:01:26.800 --> 0:01:29.479
<v Speaker 1>Josh Wells and tight ends over there as well. Both

0:01:29.520 --> 0:01:31.559
<v Speaker 1>both of the rookie Titans did a great job blocking

0:01:31.600 --> 0:01:34.640
<v Speaker 1>according to the coaches. And it was just a really

0:01:34.800 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>encouraging performance by those guys. And I had Luke Getticky

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>on our Salty Dogs podcast yesterday and he was he

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.960
<v Speaker 1>was saying that it was a huge boost of confidence

0:01:43.959 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 1>for him and and that's good. He said that they

0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>feel a lot better moving forward. They got that first

0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:51.120
<v Speaker 1>game in it was against some pretty good defensive front

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.000
<v Speaker 1>and they not only held their own, they kind of

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>dominated at times. To me, that's the biggest takeaway from

0:01:55.240 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>the game. And in a broader perspective. I think it

0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:02.680
<v Speaker 1>shows that while this team has been passing attack driven

0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>with Tom Brady the best passing attack in the league

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the last two years, and there's gonna be some huge

0:02:07.120 --> 0:02:08.960
<v Speaker 1>days for those guys, I have no doubt whatsoever. But

0:02:09.040 --> 0:02:12.520
<v Speaker 1>this team might have a different formula some weeks for winning.

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.480
<v Speaker 1>And it's kind of harkens back the old buck in

0:02:14.560 --> 0:02:16.960
<v Speaker 1>your days of really good defense and a really good

0:02:17.040 --> 0:02:18.880
<v Speaker 1>running game. Yeah, and to know you can do that.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>And I agree with you about the confidence on the

0:02:20.320 --> 0:02:22.200
<v Speaker 1>old line. I mean, I think this game it had

0:02:22.240 --> 0:02:25.040
<v Speaker 1>all the elements of what you want to feel confident

0:02:25.080 --> 0:02:27.720
<v Speaker 1>that it's prime time and it's you know, the first

0:02:27.720 --> 0:02:29.160
<v Speaker 1>game the season, and it is again it's a good

0:02:29.160 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>defensive front. Where it's one thing to just have a

0:02:31.480 --> 0:02:33.520
<v Speaker 1>game under your belt, it's another for it to have

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>all those different elements of under the bright lights in

0:02:35.800 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>the big moment, that you can do that against a

0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>good defensive front, that you're right that now it's like, oh, well,

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:42.520
<v Speaker 1>what else could be thrown at us? Although again this

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.120
<v Speaker 1>week going to one of the loudest, hardest places, I

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.080
<v Speaker 1>do think it'll be a great test for not just

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>their ability to play but their communication will be it

0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:51.240
<v Speaker 1>will be a good test and we'll see if they

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.079
<v Speaker 1>can string some games like that together in a row.

0:02:53.360 --> 0:02:56.079
<v Speaker 1>But you know, they also only allowed two sacks of

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, and that's one of the things that's been

0:02:58.480 --> 0:03:01.600
<v Speaker 1>a really good harbinger for sets for the Buccaneers in

0:03:02.000 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>since Tom Brady got here, when they have allowed zero

0:03:05.040 --> 0:03:07.399
<v Speaker 1>to two sacks in a game, look at that three

0:03:07.400 --> 0:03:09.600
<v Speaker 1>and two. So keeping the pressure off of Tom Brady

0:03:09.680 --> 0:03:13.520
<v Speaker 1>is paramount, and they did that. Brady appreciates it to Yeah,

0:03:13.639 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>and now there's you can and they didn't. They only

0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.480
<v Speaker 1>committed five penalties. That's been good. They had barely had

0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:21.320
<v Speaker 1>positive points off of turnovers. It was one each and

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.400
<v Speaker 1>we gotta field goal and they didn't. But still it counts.

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:25.720
<v Speaker 1>And then that run twenty one plus times. Now it

0:03:25.840 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>is very true that that is not always causitive, but

0:03:32.000 --> 0:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't choose thirty plus runs. I chose twenty one,

0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.960
<v Speaker 1>which is not a ton. I mean, that's that's a

0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:40.360
<v Speaker 1>normal number. So you can get there without being game specific.

0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:43.080
<v Speaker 1>You can run twenty one times in a game, whether

0:03:43.120 --> 0:03:47.440
<v Speaker 1>you're ahead or behind or whatever. Fourteen and three. So listen,

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>if the Buccaneers can do this. I'm not saying it's

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.280
<v Speaker 1>gonna happen every week. I'm just saying we might win

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>some games in a different way than we've been used

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to seeing the last couple of years. And I know

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 1>I asked Todd Bowls about that on our radio show

0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.200
<v Speaker 1>of is this a game plan that is the Odd

0:04:00.200 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>Bowls ideal game plan? And he said, no, the Todd

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>Bowls ideal game plan is what the game decides. That

0:04:07.560 --> 0:04:09.920
<v Speaker 1>which I think is it speaks to either way that

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>it's there is not going to be one formula. But

0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:14.720
<v Speaker 1>now the team knows that whether it is the deep

0:04:14.720 --> 0:04:16.960
<v Speaker 1>ball passes, it is a past heavy game like Week

0:04:17.000 --> 0:04:20.440
<v Speaker 1>one of last year we're growing fifty times, or it's

0:04:20.480 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>this way, I think, And yeah, so we know that

0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:25.920
<v Speaker 1>whatever it can be done in any way. And that

0:04:25.920 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>that's what Bowls really seems to be. You know, harping

0:04:28.320 --> 0:04:29.760
<v Speaker 1>on is that, Look, we're not just going to say

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:32.160
<v Speaker 1>this is what we do, no matter what. Each game

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:33.960
<v Speaker 1>could be different, and now we know we can do

0:04:33.960 --> 0:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>it a bunch of different The key there is that

0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:37.560
<v Speaker 1>if you have to do it that way, you're capable

0:04:37.560 --> 0:04:39.719
<v Speaker 1>of doing which is going to be great and so

0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:41.840
<v Speaker 1>now I know another area that doesn't always get the love,

0:04:41.880 --> 0:04:44.359
<v Speaker 1>doesn't always get the attention. But it was a storyline

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.680
<v Speaker 1>coming out of the preseason was the special teams that

0:04:46.720 --> 0:04:49.440
<v Speaker 1>there were some games in the preseason where the performance,

0:04:49.560 --> 0:04:52.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, whether it was the coverage or missing a

0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>couple of field goals or whatever it might be, wasn't

0:04:54.440 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>what the team was hoping for, even the return game

0:04:57.560 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 1>all of that. So what were the things that you

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.840
<v Speaker 1>felt like you a week one from the special teams front, coverage, return,

0:05:02.960 --> 0:05:05.040
<v Speaker 1>actual kick games. Well, it's not just the preseason. It

0:05:05.120 --> 0:05:06.800
<v Speaker 1>dates back to the last year where there were some

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.839
<v Speaker 1>areas of the special teams that we're not up to

0:05:09.920 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>what the standard, what the team wanted in in a game,

0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.240
<v Speaker 1>especially in games like against the Saints, it was it

0:05:14.279 --> 0:05:16.479
<v Speaker 1>was it was common that they would have a special

0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.160
<v Speaker 1>team's edge because they would kick and they would cover

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.520
<v Speaker 1>better than we would. And then yeah, and the special teams,

0:05:20.560 --> 0:05:22.840
<v Speaker 1>there were some coverage issues and some long returns, but

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles explained that they were having Jay Camarta just

0:05:25.760 --> 0:05:28.359
<v Speaker 1>blasted as far as he could. So they were trying

0:05:29.000 --> 0:05:31.320
<v Speaker 1>specifically not to get fair catches because they wanted to

0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.360
<v Speaker 1>evaluate a bunch of cover guys and then they did,

0:05:33.400 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>and there was a lot of guys and not all

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.560
<v Speaker 1>of them are on the team right now, and so

0:05:36.600 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>it really isn't what we're doing now. The special teams

0:05:40.400 --> 0:05:43.599
<v Speaker 1>in that game in Dallas probably wasn't the winning is

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>because the defense was so dominant. We won by sixteen points,

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:48.720
<v Speaker 1>but if that game had been close, special teams might

0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:50.360
<v Speaker 1>have been the edge right there. You know, Ryan stuck

0:05:50.400 --> 0:05:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Up made four of his five field goals. Jake Comarta

0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:55.720
<v Speaker 1>lasted a sixty five yard or he had one off

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.920
<v Speaker 1>the scoreboard that didn't count, but overall his other two

0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:00.960
<v Speaker 1>points were one was fair hot for like a forty

0:06:01.000 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>something in our net and one was returned for three yards.

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>And they have a really dangerous return man. So there

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:08.680
<v Speaker 1>were some numbers coming out of that game, like the

0:06:08.800 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>kickoff drive start for the Cowboys, like where they started

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 1>after the kickoffs on average was yards and that was

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the best in the league. That was a lot better

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.479
<v Speaker 1>than what the Buccaneers were getting last year. So uh,

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, here here's some of it right there. The

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>kickoff drive start first average. Actually I made a mistake there.

0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:28.400
<v Speaker 1>That punch drive start was not first it was fifth,

0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>but still pretty good. Sorry about the the typo there,

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:34.240
<v Speaker 1>but gross playing average, net, putting average and Kate dot

0:06:34.920 --> 0:06:37.560
<v Speaker 1>h three attack. He was blowing people up the special

0:06:37.600 --> 0:06:40.480
<v Speaker 1>teams and kJ Britt also had two tackles, so there

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:43.040
<v Speaker 1>were a lot of nice performances on special teams and

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>it came together into what could have been a winning edge.

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Had been a really close kid. That is amazing to

0:06:47.240 --> 0:06:49.760
<v Speaker 1>see with Kaide because as we talked about his contributions

0:06:49.760 --> 0:06:51.760
<v Speaker 1>to this team, I don't think we mentioned special teams.

0:06:51.760 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 1>I don't think I was thinking at any point. Yeah,

0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:55.240
<v Speaker 1>I don't believe we thought that that was going to

0:06:55.320 --> 0:06:58.240
<v Speaker 1>be where he could make some of his biggest contributions.

0:06:58.240 --> 0:07:00.880
<v Speaker 1>So that's just icing on the cave. And Hey, before

0:07:00.960 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>the game on the radio, Jason I was talking about

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:05.919
<v Speaker 1>all the rookies that were gonna make an impact. And

0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>this is a very veteran team. We have like fifteen

0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:12.080
<v Speaker 1>guys or a thirty year older. But ka Dot awesome

0:07:12.120 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>and special teams, very good blocking, Jake camarda Luke Gettick.

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>He had a great game. Shotwhite didn't get to play

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.480
<v Speaker 1>a ton, but he looked pretty good when he did.

0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.040
<v Speaker 1>Um I'm probably forgetting with somebody. But I mean, yeah,

0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:23.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean there's a lot there's a lot of different

0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.920
<v Speaker 1>coach in there for well early on they all got

0:07:26.920 --> 0:07:28.320
<v Speaker 1>in there. That's going to be so interesting. Well, how

0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.480
<v Speaker 1>don't we take a look now at the Saints game

0:07:30.600 --> 0:07:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and what are some of the biggest things that we know?

0:07:32.200 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>This is a team we know very well. So this

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>team this year, new head coach, a few new pieces.

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>What is going to be in your mind similar or

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:42.200
<v Speaker 1>different to the other matchups that and especially what we

0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>hope will be different is a win as compared to

0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the last seven regular season matchups, but not the playoffs.

0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.360
<v Speaker 1>Not the playoffs where you know, I'll segue into this

0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>by saying, have you seen our injury report this week? Yeah?

0:07:53.400 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>I was. I was trying to forget. I think they

0:07:56.000 --> 0:07:59.400
<v Speaker 1>should just put offense questionable, right you and are going

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>to get called Potentially five of the seven receivers are

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:04.560
<v Speaker 1>on the injury report for the Bucks. The reason I

0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>bring that up, not to bring this whole um, is

0:08:11.960 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 1>that the Saints have a new look receiving corps and

0:08:14.920 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>it's something that has me a little bit concerned in

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:20.760
<v Speaker 1>this matchup. Um Michael Thomas has it's most of the

0:08:20.800 --> 0:08:24.280
<v Speaker 1>last two years and he's played seven games. Uh, he's back,

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.360
<v Speaker 1>and it was a sort of a question mark is

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:28.400
<v Speaker 1>he fully healthy coming in the season when I scored

0:08:28.440 --> 0:08:31.160
<v Speaker 1>two touchdowns. They signed Jarvis Landry kind of late in

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>the offseason after the draft. You see the day that

0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.679
<v Speaker 1>he had, and most of this was like in the

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 1>fourth quarter, by the way, because they couldn't get their

0:08:37.320 --> 0:08:40.080
<v Speaker 1>passing game going for the whole first half. And uh,

0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and then Crystal Lobby is the guy. They took him

0:08:42.559 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 1>eleventh overall, but that was after several trades. So the

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>amount of draft capital they poured into getting Crystal Lovey

0:08:47.840 --> 0:08:50.240
<v Speaker 1>was actually pretty huge. This is what they have now.

0:08:50.320 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>Last year it was no Michael Thomas. It was it

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:54.760
<v Speaker 1>was a bunch of guys that you had barely heard of.

0:08:54.800 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>And it really they sunk to actually the worst passing

0:08:57.480 --> 0:09:00.960
<v Speaker 1>attack in the league, thirty second in passing. I think

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>they're looking a lot difference. Jameis Winston is back, He's

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.120
<v Speaker 1>he's healthy, and he's leading that band there and they

0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:11.080
<v Speaker 1>have a treeo receivers that is going to test our guys. Now,

0:09:11.160 --> 0:09:14.240
<v Speaker 1>our guys. Uh did a great job in coverage in

0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.560
<v Speaker 1>the Dallas game. But Dallas had Ceedee Lamb and then

0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.000
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of guys that you haven't basically heard of. Well,

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>it'll be a bigger test now. Carlton Davis and Jamal

0:09:21.200 --> 0:09:23.959
<v Speaker 1>Deane were great in coverage. Antoine Winfield did really well

0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:26.120
<v Speaker 1>in the slot, and I think there, I know they're

0:09:26.200 --> 0:09:27.880
<v Speaker 1>up for the challenge, but it is a bigger challenge

0:09:27.920 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>this week. Yeah. So speaking of that, we do have

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:35.120
<v Speaker 1>a Facebook question here. Um Kyle wanted to know why

0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.920
<v Speaker 1>did Sean Murphy Bunty not get more time in the secondary?

0:09:38.040 --> 0:09:39.679
<v Speaker 1>Well he didn't get any actual yes, yeah, well that

0:09:39.720 --> 0:09:43.240
<v Speaker 1>he kind of put that out of trying to make nice. Okay, Well,

0:09:43.320 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>because Jamal Deane won the starting job, Antoine Winfield was

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:50.000
<v Speaker 1>in the slot, and and before we had three corners

0:09:50.280 --> 0:09:52.000
<v Speaker 1>playing a lot because you're in nickel a lot in

0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the third corner was on the field. With Antoine Winfield

0:09:54.520 --> 0:09:57.480
<v Speaker 1>getting all the slots slot snaps in this game, there

0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 1>just wasn't a package that they needed Shawn and for.

0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:03.000
<v Speaker 1>But coach Bowls has said they did ask some other

0:10:03.080 --> 0:10:06.240
<v Speaker 1>things that would have involved Sean and maybe even Ken O'Neil,

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.560
<v Speaker 1>who also didn't play on defense. They just didn't get

0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.320
<v Speaker 1>to them because of what the Cowboys were doing and

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>what the Bucks were doing was working. I mean, I

0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.880
<v Speaker 1>think that's the key right there. Now we know we

0:10:14.960 --> 0:10:17.880
<v Speaker 1>have a very good player and Sean Murphy Bunting available

0:10:17.880 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 1>to play, and he didn't get a chance in this game,

0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:22.440
<v Speaker 1>but in this particular name, what they were doing was working.

0:10:22.440 --> 0:10:24.400
<v Speaker 1>And if it is, you stick with every stick with it. Yeah,

0:10:24.400 --> 0:10:27.240
<v Speaker 1>And we were talking about the wide receiver uh injuries here,

0:10:27.360 --> 0:10:29.679
<v Speaker 1>Chad wanted to know now that Chris Godwin is out

0:10:29.679 --> 0:10:32.280
<v Speaker 1>for a couple of weeks, would Julio be that number two?

0:10:32.360 --> 0:10:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Then e Gauge, then Perriman or what do you see

0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.679
<v Speaker 1>as the order there? And also depending on the different

0:10:37.720 --> 0:10:40.199
<v Speaker 1>injury situation, I think I think I'll answer the question

0:10:40.200 --> 0:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>on an assumption that everybody's healthy, and I don't think

0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:44.280
<v Speaker 1>that's actually a valid assumption because I doubt that all

0:10:44.320 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>five of those guys on the injury report are gonna

0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:49.240
<v Speaker 1>be fine for this game. But in terms of health,

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.559
<v Speaker 1>if Chris god wasn't there and everybody else is available,

0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>I think Julio Jones is probably your second outside guy

0:10:54.480 --> 0:10:56.959
<v Speaker 1>along with Mike Evans and Russell Gauge is your primary

0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.800
<v Speaker 1>slot guy. Now, maybe in just a two receiver set,

0:11:00.640 --> 0:11:02.960
<v Speaker 1>it's probably a mixture of Russell Gauge and Julio Jones.

0:11:03.000 --> 0:11:04.760
<v Speaker 1>But if you have three on the field, which you

0:11:04.840 --> 0:11:08.600
<v Speaker 1>do what you do usually the snaps, it's probably Mike

0:11:08.640 --> 0:11:11.080
<v Speaker 1>and Julio on the outside and Russell Gage in the slot. Okay,

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:14.120
<v Speaker 1>And then Richard asked, what is going on with Kyle

0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:16.320
<v Speaker 1>Rudolph that he was not active? I thought he would

0:11:16.320 --> 0:11:19.440
<v Speaker 1>be a good blocker. Well, I mean probably would be.

0:11:19.480 --> 0:11:21.440
<v Speaker 1>But the Buck Singers have been very happy with the

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:23.880
<v Speaker 1>way that Kate Dotton and co Keept in particular have

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>been blocking. And both those guys did prove good in

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:29.599
<v Speaker 1>that regard in that game. But Coach Bull said yesterday

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.719
<v Speaker 1>that the difference was special teams and they stats there.

0:11:33.760 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if you didn't have Kate Dotton on those

0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.319
<v Speaker 1>coverage units, it might have been worse. Right, So, um,

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:40.920
<v Speaker 1>both of those guys contributed on special teams and they

0:11:41.080 --> 0:11:43.240
<v Speaker 1>didn't really have a role for Kyle on special teams.

0:11:43.440 --> 0:11:46.320
<v Speaker 1>And part of the thing here is A you're keeping

0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:49.120
<v Speaker 1>up six receivers and B you got to name six

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:52.080
<v Speaker 1>guys inactive right there, isn't a whole lot of chaff

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:55.079
<v Speaker 1>on that defensive side. You have four corners because I

0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.560
<v Speaker 1>call him out, you got four safeties, You've got four

0:11:57.800 --> 0:12:00.960
<v Speaker 1>outside linebackers plus one you elevated, and Genard Avery got

0:12:01.120 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>four inside linebackers, and just you're looking to go where

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:05.680
<v Speaker 1>we're going to find an inactive from and you mostly

0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.120
<v Speaker 1>have to take from offense. So we notably only kept

0:12:08.120 --> 0:12:11.240
<v Speaker 1>three backs and three tight ends active. And they felt

0:12:11.440 --> 0:12:13.880
<v Speaker 1>felt with the special team's contributions that Kate and Kyle

0:12:13.880 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>would make it made more sense to keep them up. Okay,

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.199
<v Speaker 1>and then we will close with this one, Christopher said.

0:12:18.280 --> 0:12:20.880
<v Speaker 1>Or the Bucks looking to sign another offensive lineman since

0:12:20.920 --> 0:12:23.280
<v Speaker 1>the Donovan Smith injury. Oh no, I don't think so.

0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:26.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think this is a long term thing at all. Um,

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:28.880
<v Speaker 1>we know how tough Donovan is, right, they called this

0:12:28.920 --> 0:12:31.120
<v Speaker 1>a pain coach called it a pain Tons issue. Now,

0:12:31.840 --> 0:12:33.400
<v Speaker 1>if he doesn't play, I don't want to sound like

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:36.160
<v Speaker 1>we're calling out his toughness. He's extremely tough. He's missed

0:12:36.200 --> 0:12:38.760
<v Speaker 1>one game since he was drafted in two thousand fifteen,

0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:40.920
<v Speaker 1>and we know at times he's played through injuries to

0:12:40.960 --> 0:12:44.160
<v Speaker 1>make that happen. So if it, if there's a player

0:12:44.800 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>who can get through a pain tolerance issue, it's done

0:12:47.160 --> 0:12:49.319
<v Speaker 1>and done it now. It could just be too bad

0:12:49.400 --> 0:12:51.120
<v Speaker 1>that he can't play. We'll see later in the week,

0:12:51.160 --> 0:12:52.640
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think this is a long term thing,

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:54.360
<v Speaker 1>so I doubt they'll sign anybody. All right, Well that's

0:12:54.400 --> 0:12:56.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it for us on this edition of Bucks

0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Insider Live. Thanks as always for joining us, and we'll

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:00.040
<v Speaker 1>be back here next week, so make sure he's in

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>your questions in mum hmm. Thanks up.
