<v Speaker 1>Huh. Hey there. Everyone, Welcome into Buccaneers Inside or Live

0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.360

<v Speaker 1>you head over to the Buccaneers Facebook page and you

0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:29.160
<v Speaker 1>can leave your question in the comments section underneath our

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>live videos as we give people chance to do that.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.360
<v Speaker 1>I know there's been some talk about the fourth down rules,

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>the on site kick revisions, of of trying to think

0:00:39.200 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>of new, potentially fun ways to to give teams more

0:00:42.000 --> 0:00:44.000
<v Speaker 1>of an advantage there. So I want to hear your

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.040
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on some of these proposed changes and what you

0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>think they could mean. Well, I kind of like the

0:00:48.760 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>fourth and fifteen on site kick alternative. It's something that

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 1>has been kicked around in the media and you know,

0:00:55.080 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>behind the scenes for a couple of years now, um,

0:00:57.640 --> 0:00:59.480
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like there might be on the verge

0:00:59.480 --> 0:01:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of put that into play. Uh. You know, the basic

0:01:03.040 --> 0:01:05.840
<v Speaker 1>idea is that made a bunch of changes to how

0:01:05.880 --> 0:01:08.680
<v Speaker 1>you kick off, which has in turn made it very

0:01:08.760 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>very difficult for an on site kick to work. It

0:01:10.680 --> 0:01:13.600
<v Speaker 1>used to be about sixteen percent success rate and now

0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>it's about four or five percent. And all those changes

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>were made for safety reasons. So you really don't want

0:01:18.400 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 1>to go You don't want to backtrack on any of

0:01:20.080 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>those rules. I don't think anytime the NFL ever implements

0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>anything aimed at player safety does it ever go back

0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:27.600
<v Speaker 1>from that um So you have to come up with

0:01:27.600 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>another way. If you look at the numbers of third

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>and fourth down and fifteen to go, uh, it's about sixteen.

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:36.039
<v Speaker 1>So it's pretty much right on the money, and you

0:01:36.040 --> 0:01:38.080
<v Speaker 1>do that from your own twenty five. So if you

0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.399
<v Speaker 1>don't convert it, then obviously it's the same penalty as

0:01:41.440 --> 0:01:43.280
<v Speaker 1>an onsite kick, although maybe a little bit worse, and

0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>that you're giving the other team really good field position.

0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.840
<v Speaker 1>But you know, you can only have so much sympathy

0:01:48.880 --> 0:01:50.680
<v Speaker 1>for a team that's a couple scores down and is

0:01:50.680 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>looking for a way to get back into the game.

0:01:52.720 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>You know, they should have to keep everybody interested. There

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:57.560
<v Speaker 1>should be a way, but it shouldn't be that easy.

0:01:57.640 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>The team that built that big lead, you know, just

0:02:00.040 --> 0:02:02.040
<v Speaker 1>serves that big lead. And so I think it's a

0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>good compromise. And you know, from a personal standard point,

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:08.160
<v Speaker 1>I guess from a Buck standpoint, I think the Bucks

0:02:08.200 --> 0:02:09.760
<v Speaker 1>would be in pretty good position one of the better

0:02:09.800 --> 0:02:12.320
<v Speaker 1>teams to take advantage of this rule. Hopefully won't be

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.560
<v Speaker 1>down by two scores very often, but if you are,

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, the Buccaneers led the NFL in past plays

0:02:19.040 --> 0:02:20.919
<v Speaker 1>of twenty or more yards last year. So if you

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>have an offense with guys like Mike Evans who can

0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>make those plays down to feel I mean, think of

0:02:24.560 --> 0:02:27.240
<v Speaker 1>a great fourth and fifteen or third and fifteen play,

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.920
<v Speaker 1>a back shoulder sideline fade to Mike Evans, I mean,

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.240
<v Speaker 1>he runs that play perfection, and now you got Tom Brady,

0:02:33.240 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>you can probably put it right on the money. So

0:02:35.480 --> 0:02:37.280
<v Speaker 1>you know, I like the idea, and I also think

0:02:37.320 --> 0:02:38.919
<v Speaker 1>that the Buccaneers would be in good shape to take

0:02:39.280 --> 0:02:42.720
<v Speaker 1>of it. Okay, and uh, I know that we've also

0:02:42.880 --> 0:02:45.200
<v Speaker 1>we've talked so much about the offense this offseason for

0:02:45.200 --> 0:02:48.280
<v Speaker 1>for very understandable reasons. But the last couple of weeks

0:02:48.320 --> 0:02:50.480
<v Speaker 1>we've got a chance to have media availabilities. They don't

0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>look like they used to their over zoom. Uh. You know,

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.160
<v Speaker 1>normally we'd be having things like O T A S

0:02:55.200 --> 0:02:57.120
<v Speaker 1>and Recommennicamp and stuff like that. It's time of year

0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>and you just get a chance to hear from a

0:02:58.440 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 1>bunch of guys as they come off the field. Are

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.000
<v Speaker 1>some of the guys taking the podium. But they've had

0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:05.760
<v Speaker 1>um a few players doing Zoom media availabilities and uh

0:03:05.760 --> 0:03:08.560
<v Speaker 1>in recent weeks it's been Sean Murphy, Bunting and Devin White,

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.200
<v Speaker 1>and of course they're kind of saying, hey, don't don't

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>forget about us defensive guys. You know we we were

0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:16.120
<v Speaker 1>pretty good at this football thing too, So I want

0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>to hear what are some the things that you got

0:03:17.919 --> 0:03:21.160
<v Speaker 1>out of those media availabilities and their attitudes and just

0:03:21.200 --> 0:03:25.359
<v Speaker 1>their optimism about the defensive side of things this year. Yeah.

0:03:25.400 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 1>I think the one thing we should point out about

0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.399
<v Speaker 1>that is the Bucks have started doing that pretty regularly

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.000
<v Speaker 1>at least once a week, and this week there's gonna

0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>be two of them. And you know, a fan can't

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>get into the Zoom meeting in order to ask questions,

0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>but you can watched the stream live on buccaneers dot com.

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>And Todd Bowles is going today too, I believe, and

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.920
<v Speaker 1>then Alan Mark pet tomorrow at one thirty I might

0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>have those two times backwards. I can't remember today's one

0:03:47.520 --> 0:03:50.240
<v Speaker 1>thirty tomorrows too, But anyway, come around one thirty or

0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.320
<v Speaker 1>so two Buccaneers dot com and you can watch Todd

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.000
<v Speaker 1>Boles today and el Mar pet tomorrow. But I think

0:03:55.000 --> 0:03:57.680
<v Speaker 1>what you were alluding to is both John Murphy Bunting

0:03:58.000 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>and Devin White, who were both very good rookie defenders

0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:04.480
<v Speaker 1>last year and are probably gonna be cornerstones for this

0:04:04.520 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>defense a long time. Both of them made comments along

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.680
<v Speaker 1>lines of, hey, we want to be the side, the

0:04:10.800 --> 0:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>unit the defense that sometimes puts his team on its

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.200
<v Speaker 1>back and carries. And everybody knows we have Tom Brady

0:04:16.279 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>and all these great offensive stars, but last year the

0:04:19.800 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>Bucks defense really came on in the second half is

0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:23.839
<v Speaker 1>what was one of the better ones in the league.

0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 1>And they're confident they're gonna be even better this year.

0:04:26.240 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>So it's just good to have those young, outspoken, very

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.080
<v Speaker 1>confident leaders on defense who want to say, hey, this

0:04:33.120 --> 0:04:35.880
<v Speaker 1>isn't all just about that star studared offense. We plan

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.159
<v Speaker 1>to be the reason that the Buccaneers are winning games.

0:04:38.200 --> 0:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>And I mean, if this defense does play like it

0:04:41.200 --> 0:04:42.839
<v Speaker 1>was at the end of last year or even better.

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Bucks sure seemed like they'll be hard to beat. I

0:04:46.120 --> 0:04:49.360
<v Speaker 1>completely agree. And speaking of the defensive side, Jeffrey wanted

0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:52.400
<v Speaker 1>to know, do you see Shack having double digit sacks

0:04:52.440 --> 0:04:55.040
<v Speaker 1>again this year? Yeah, I think you can get to

0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:57.359
<v Speaker 1>double digits. You know, I wouldn't be the first to

0:04:57.400 --> 0:04:59.680
<v Speaker 1>say it. And there's no reason to expect Shack to

0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.560
<v Speaker 1>get anything and to have sacks before. I mean, in

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:05.840
<v Speaker 1>the first forty three years of Buck's history, the highest

0:05:05.839 --> 0:05:07.960
<v Speaker 1>anybody ever had with sixteen and a half, and that

0:05:08.000 --> 0:05:09.640
<v Speaker 1>was by a Hall of famer warr And SAPs. So

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.160
<v Speaker 1>you know, Shack's nineteen and a half to lead the

0:05:12.240 --> 0:05:16.240
<v Speaker 1>league last year was incredible and um and well, you know,

0:05:16.279 --> 0:05:18.200
<v Speaker 1>every part of it was earned. I'm not saying anything

0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.200
<v Speaker 1>like that, but sacks, like interceptions, can be a fickle

0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 1>stat sometimes you I think Shack could be easily be

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.960
<v Speaker 1>just as effect of rushing the password this year, and

0:05:27.120 --> 0:05:30.240
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he had seventy eight I think combined pressures,

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:32.680
<v Speaker 1>hurries and sacks, and that's a ton. It was like

0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>third highest somewhere near the highest of the league. And

0:05:36.760 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 1>and he could do that again, but not get near

0:05:39.360 --> 0:05:42.680
<v Speaker 1>nineteen sacks, maybe ten twelves something like that, but certainly

0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:46.880
<v Speaker 1>he's capable and absolutely mh and uh Lee wanted to know,

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:52.200
<v Speaker 1>is there any potential interest in Jamal Adams? Well, I

0:05:52.240 --> 0:05:55.599
<v Speaker 1>mean Jamal Adams safety for the Jets. I don't know

0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.839
<v Speaker 1>who would not be interested in Jamal Adams. He's a

0:05:57.880 --> 0:06:01.359
<v Speaker 1>fantastic player. But first of all, there's no reason to

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:03.760
<v Speaker 1>believe that. I know there's been some discord there, but

0:06:03.839 --> 0:06:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it appears like the Jets don't want to get rid

0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>of Jamal Adams, so it's probably a mood point. And

0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:11.680
<v Speaker 1>then you also have to think about, uh, what do

0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.039
<v Speaker 1>we take if the Jets decided to trade him to somebody,

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>It's gonna take like pretty high draft capital again him

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:21.919
<v Speaker 1>think about Jalen Ramsey needing two first round picks to

0:06:21.920 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>go to the Rams. I think corner maybe a somewhat

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:28.080
<v Speaker 1>more premier position than safety, but it would still cost

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>quite a bit in draft capital, I assume. And I'm

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:33.400
<v Speaker 1>not sure if you're just drafting Antoine Winfield this year,

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Mike Edwards last year, Jordan Whitehead the year before that,

0:06:36.920 --> 0:06:40.039
<v Speaker 1>that the Buccaneers wouldn't rather just keep that draft capital

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.440
<v Speaker 1>find out what they have in Winfield and and you know,

0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>build their safety position out of what's already on hand, right,

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Daniel lasked. He said, Tristan works has incredible speed, athleticism,

0:06:50.560 --> 0:06:53.120
<v Speaker 1>Gronk is a great blocker. How much will that improve

0:06:53.200 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>ball control with short yardage passes, especially in the screen

0:06:56.320 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>pass and turnovers. Yeah, well, they're both. I thought that

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.640
<v Speaker 1>was going to go in direction of short yards in

0:07:04.720 --> 0:07:07.080
<v Speaker 1>terms running the ball better, right, I think we could

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>do both. The run game, you can you can take

0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.640
<v Speaker 1>at that direction too. Well. There's a lot of people

0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:16.240
<v Speaker 1>that are excited about Tristan Worse and Rob Gronkowski ning

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:18.119
<v Speaker 1>up next to each other on that side of the line.

0:07:18.400 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>Rob Gronkowski is obviously a phenomenal blocker and always has

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:25.679
<v Speaker 1>been huge dude. Tristan Worse very athletic, as I said,

0:07:25.720 --> 0:07:28.800
<v Speaker 1>And the Buccaneers didn't really run the ball particularly well

0:07:28.920 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>last year. Um, they didn't run the ball well in

0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the formation you would expect, which is two tight ends

0:07:35.000 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>or twelve personnel. You don't you can run or throw

0:07:37.680 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>out its twelve obviously, And the Buccaneers when they can

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.440
<v Speaker 1>put like Gronk and O J. Gronk and Cam or

0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>somebody together in the field it's gonna be tough for

0:07:45.120 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>defenses and know what's gonna happen. But you also should

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.840
<v Speaker 1>be able to run the ball relatively well out of that,

0:07:49.920 --> 0:07:51.480
<v Speaker 1>at least as well as you're running the ball out

0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:55.800
<v Speaker 1>of other formations. And the Buccaneers, out of two tight informations,

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>only ran about two point yards per carry, which isn't

0:07:58.800 --> 0:08:00.040
<v Speaker 1>very good. And I think that's going to be a

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:02.600
<v Speaker 1>lot better this year. Uh. And so when you start

0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:05.240
<v Speaker 1>running the ball better out of that, then obviously you're

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>short passing your screens, your play actions are going to

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:09.640
<v Speaker 1>get better too. So you know, I think it'll all

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:12.320
<v Speaker 1>be better with those two additions. It's a great point.

0:08:12.320 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm always amazed where you don't know these questions

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:16.080
<v Speaker 1>are coming and you can still spit out a stat

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like that, like, oh, you know about two yards, you know,

0:08:19.280 --> 0:08:22.640
<v Speaker 1>just somewhere around there. I was writing about it yesterday,

0:08:22.680 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>so I had the advantage. Okay, alright, Well you didn't

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:26.160
<v Speaker 1>have to tell us. We would have just thought you

0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>had all these numbers to start there, all Jack said.

0:08:29.920 --> 0:08:32.120
<v Speaker 1>And he's he said, he's watching from Hong Kong, which

0:08:32.120 --> 0:08:35.839
<v Speaker 1>is very cool, he said. Devin is such a confident man.

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.120
<v Speaker 1>Do you think he will break out this year apart

0:08:38.160 --> 0:08:41.320
<v Speaker 1>from injury. I wonder what time it is in Hong

0:08:41.400 --> 0:08:46.079
<v Speaker 1>Kong right now. I don't know the difference. Idea um

0:08:46.200 --> 0:08:50.160
<v Speaker 1>could be happy are uh yeah, you know Devin White

0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.439
<v Speaker 1>barring injury, but you would say that about anybody, So

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.040
<v Speaker 1>there's no reason to expect him to be injured. I

0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:56.720
<v Speaker 1>know he had a little misfortune with his knee early

0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.880
<v Speaker 1>on and that slowed down his progress. As Bruce Arian said,

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.640
<v Speaker 1>then you saw him really start to hit his stride

0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>in the second half of the season. So let's say

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.040
<v Speaker 1>that doesn't happen again, because it probably won't knock on wood.

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:11.079
<v Speaker 1>So let's say that doesn't happen again. He should be

0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.880
<v Speaker 1>able to come into the season, you know, with a

0:09:12.880 --> 0:09:15.760
<v Speaker 1>full headed momentum and just be that all over the

0:09:15.800 --> 0:09:18.680
<v Speaker 1>field range e, playmaking guy. And yeah, this could definitely

0:09:18.720 --> 0:09:20.320
<v Speaker 1>be a breakout year for him. I think he sort

0:09:20.320 --> 0:09:22.280
<v Speaker 1>of breakout at the end of last year, but this

0:09:22.320 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>is the guy that could take it to the next level.

0:09:23.840 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And if you think about that, next to Lavonte David

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:28.240
<v Speaker 1>going strong. We always talked about how the Bucks have

0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:31.319
<v Speaker 1>probably the best wide receiver duo in the league. Those

0:09:31.320 --> 0:09:34.079
<v Speaker 1>two could probably make a case this year if Devin

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>White really does break out for the best inside linebacker

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:40.600
<v Speaker 1>duo in the league, would be exciting. Yeah, completely agreeing. Um, Yeah,

0:09:40.640 --> 0:09:42.959
<v Speaker 1>Lavante is probably one of people. I'm most excited for

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.960
<v Speaker 1>the fact that we have gotten Brady and Grunk, but

0:09:45.280 --> 0:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>now more people, hopefully we're going to see how amazing

0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>he's been for so long that we've all known about it. Um.

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:53.319
<v Speaker 1>Robert's watching from Denmark. I wanted to know what are

0:09:53.320 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>our predictions on the Bucks record? You know, I did

0:09:57.679 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>a thing the other day where I took other people's

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.120
<v Speaker 1>predictions media, you know, esp dot com, NFL dot com,

0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>various sites, and uh, what their win predictions were, what

0:10:07.720 --> 0:10:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the power polls are actually power polls or something different,

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>but win predictions. And just about every outlet I could

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>find had the Bucks in double digit wins. Not everybody

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:20.400
<v Speaker 1>has this overcoming the Saints yet. And and that's that's

0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>like the next hurdle for this Buccaneers team. Back in

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>the nineties, the first thing the Bucks had to do

0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>is they started to rise to prominence. You know, they

0:10:27.320 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>made it back to the playoffs in nine seven. UM

0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>made it to the NFC Championship game in ninety nine.

0:10:32.240 --> 0:10:34.679
<v Speaker 1>But the team that was always in the way, uh,

0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.720
<v Speaker 1>the hurdle that they had to clear was Green Bay

0:10:36.760 --> 0:10:39.199
<v Speaker 1>and they were winning the NFC Central. They had Brett Farve,

0:10:39.559 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>had the great warrant set, Brett Farve battles. The Bucks

0:10:42.520 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 1>finally started to overcome the Packers in like nine and

0:10:45.640 --> 0:10:48.720
<v Speaker 1>ninety nine, and then you saw that they continued and

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:50.360
<v Speaker 1>then they had to beat the Eagles who they couldn't

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.840
<v Speaker 1>get past, and that and then got to the super Bowl.

0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:54.560
<v Speaker 1>This Bucks team that was hoping to get back to

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.480
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs and into long drought, it's the Saints that

0:10:57.520 --> 0:10:59.120
<v Speaker 1>are standing in the white. The Saints have won the

0:10:59.200 --> 0:11:01.680
<v Speaker 1>last three divisions. They were thirteen and three last year,

0:11:01.880 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>and they can match Tom Brady Withdrew Brees, and they've

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>got a good defense with the great off with a

0:11:06.000 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 1>great pass rush. They've got a great offensive line. Um,

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.679
<v Speaker 1>I forgot where this question started. Griffin on the Saint

0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:16.040
<v Speaker 1>What you think the record is going to be? Yeah, yeah,

0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:17.920
<v Speaker 1>So if you if if I were just to agree,

0:11:17.960 --> 0:11:20.480
<v Speaker 1>because obviously people are gonna think we're gonna be homers here,

0:11:20.480 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 1>So if we just agree with what the outside media

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.000
<v Speaker 1>is saying Bucks are in the ten to eleven win

0:11:25.080 --> 0:11:27.680
<v Speaker 1>drain wind range, but that won't necessarisarily be enough to

0:11:27.679 --> 0:11:30.280
<v Speaker 1>win the division, So that's gonna be interesting. But I

0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.319
<v Speaker 1>think double digits is the starting point for this team. Um.

0:11:33.360 --> 0:11:36.079
<v Speaker 1>If you see odds makers, I think they usually put

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:38.720
<v Speaker 1>us on the over undered about nine point five wins.

0:11:38.720 --> 0:11:42.440
<v Speaker 1>So ten is what I think is the baseline expectation.

0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.960
<v Speaker 1>Obviously we're hoping for more like eleven or twelve, yes,

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Um. And it worked out really well that

0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:50.800
<v Speaker 1>you happen to bring up the Saints because our next

0:11:50.840 --> 0:11:52.640
<v Speaker 1>question is from Kenneth and he said, what's the key

0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.680
<v Speaker 1>to stopping Breeze and Thomas this year? And he said,

0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>we gotta take the division over again. So yeah, so

0:11:58.000 --> 0:12:00.360
<v Speaker 1>the idea of how to how to how to beat

0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Breeze and Thomas, which you know, I'm pretty sure if

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.960
<v Speaker 1>we knew the answer to that, a lot of people

0:12:04.000 --> 0:12:07.000
<v Speaker 1>in the league would be paying us a lot of money. Yeah,

0:12:07.000 --> 0:12:10.360
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas to me the Breeze to Michael Thomas combination, which,

0:12:10.440 --> 0:12:13.360
<v Speaker 1>by the way, when you and I and Carmen were

0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 1>doing a roundtable week a couple of weeks ago, and

0:12:15.520 --> 0:12:18.680
<v Speaker 1>one of the questions was what's the biggest challenge for

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:23.160
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks offense defense. My answer was Drew Brees to

0:12:23.240 --> 0:12:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Michael Thomas, and it's just everybody knows it's coming, and

0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:30.040
<v Speaker 1>yet you can't stop it. He's very He's good at

0:12:30.120 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>physically beating people, you know, like you know if the

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:35.560
<v Speaker 1>press or it breaks, and he's just such a good

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.800
<v Speaker 1>route runner. And then Drew Brees is so precise with

0:12:37.840 --> 0:12:40.160
<v Speaker 1>his passes that you can know what's gonna happen, and

0:12:40.160 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 1>he still catches passes on you. And by the end

0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:45.160
<v Speaker 1>of the year he's got a hundred I think he

0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:48.360
<v Speaker 1>had a hundred forty five receptions, so in sixteen games.

0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:52.079
<v Speaker 1>That's like in the game. So I think that probably

0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:55.839
<v Speaker 1>the key is accept the fact that Drew Brees is

0:12:55.880 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 1>going to complete some passes to Michael Thomas, but keep

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:02.200
<v Speaker 1>them from being a big place. And sometimes with some

0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.560
<v Speaker 1>of the some of the best players you face on

0:13:04.600 --> 0:13:07.440
<v Speaker 1>either offense or defense, you know they're gonna they're gonna

0:13:07.440 --> 0:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>have some success against you. Just gotta try to limit it.

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:13.160
<v Speaker 1>M We also got a response from our guy watching

0:13:13.240 --> 0:13:16.120
<v Speaker 1>from Hong Kong. He says it's ten pm, so he said, yes,

0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:21.040
<v Speaker 1>happy hour it's been a long happy hour, Okay, right, yeah,

0:13:21.040 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 1>happy hours. Cloral Dennis wanted to know what will key

0:13:24.320 --> 0:13:30.079
<v Speaker 1>Shawn Vaughan's role be. Well, if you take what the

0:13:30.120 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>Bucks had last year, and their primary carries were split

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>between Ronald Jones and Peyton Barber, and now Peyton Barber

0:13:37.240 --> 0:13:41.040
<v Speaker 1>isn't with us anymore, He's he's with Washington now, Keyshawn

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:43.679
<v Speaker 1>Vaughn to me would easily at the baseline step in

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:47.360
<v Speaker 1>there and take those number of snaps that Peyton Barber

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:51.120
<v Speaker 1>was getting. After the two Ronald Jones became the starter,

0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>about this eighth came in and then was the starter

0:13:54.240 --> 0:13:56.560
<v Speaker 1>rest away and and then got more snaps, and he

0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.520
<v Speaker 1>ended up with I think something like dventy two carries

0:14:00.520 --> 0:14:02.959
<v Speaker 1>to pet Barber's hun forty five or something like that.

0:14:03.280 --> 0:14:05.640
<v Speaker 1>So you can probably start that as the baseline because

0:14:05.720 --> 0:14:08.720
<v Speaker 1>I think from comments you hear from both Bruce Arians

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:10.959
<v Speaker 1>and Jason Light is that there just aren't many teams

0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:15.079
<v Speaker 1>anymore that are just giving all their carries carries to

0:14:15.200 --> 0:14:17.719
<v Speaker 1>one back, you know, They're most teams are using a

0:14:17.800 --> 0:14:19.600
<v Speaker 1>variety of running backs, and I think that's what we're

0:14:19.600 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>going to be, like, uh Keshan I think could expand

0:14:23.200 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>his role beyond that if he proves to be a

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 1>good pass catcher and not just a guy screen passes,

0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>actually splitting out and running some routes. That's what we're

0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:33.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna find out. They think he's capable of doing that.

0:14:34.120 --> 0:14:35.520
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna find out if he can do that on

0:14:35.560 --> 0:14:37.880
<v Speaker 1>the NFL level, And if he can, I think you

0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.760
<v Speaker 1>could see his role expanding. But in the very least,

0:14:40.760 --> 0:14:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I think he's part of the one to punch with.

0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.400
<v Speaker 1>Ron Okay and Christopher wanted to know, do you think

0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:48.760
<v Speaker 1>we'll see O. J. Howard play more than last year

0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:51.400
<v Speaker 1>or will we see more Cameron Brakes? So which one

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:52.720
<v Speaker 1>of those guys you think we're going to see more

0:14:52.720 --> 0:14:57.400
<v Speaker 1>playing time from. Yeah, I don't think you're probably would

0:14:57.400 --> 0:15:00.080
<v Speaker 1>expect O. J. Howard if to play more than you

0:15:00.120 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 1>did last year when you've added Rob Gronkowski to the mix.

0:15:03.400 --> 0:15:05.320
<v Speaker 1>So I guess the question is who's gonna play more?

0:15:05.760 --> 0:15:08.600
<v Speaker 1>O J. Howard or Cam brad Um. Just based on

0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.000
<v Speaker 1>the snaps last year, O J. Howard played significantly more

0:15:12.080 --> 0:15:14.720
<v Speaker 1>than Cam in games where they were both healthy. Uh,

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:18.240
<v Speaker 1>So I wouldn't expect that to change, but I'm interested

0:15:18.280 --> 0:15:20.600
<v Speaker 1>to see how all that shakes out. You know, I

0:15:20.640 --> 0:15:22.520
<v Speaker 1>think they're gonna be creative with those three guys, and

0:15:22.520 --> 0:15:24.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure they'll have a good role for cam Bread,

0:15:24.880 --> 0:15:26.960
<v Speaker 1>especially in the red zone where he's always proven to

0:15:27.000 --> 0:15:30.480
<v Speaker 1>be so effective. I mean, he's twenty four touchdowns over

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.200
<v Speaker 1>the last four years, that's fourth among all tight ends

0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:36.520
<v Speaker 1>of that span, and almost all those are plays that

0:15:37.120 --> 0:15:40.800
<v Speaker 1>are snapped inside the opponent's twenty So, um, that's where

0:15:40.880 --> 0:15:42.800
<v Speaker 1>his bread and butter is. And he said that before,

0:15:42.920 --> 0:15:45.440
<v Speaker 1>like his sweet spot is around the fifteen yard line,

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:48.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think he's still quite a weapon there. But

0:15:48.880 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 1>if you ask me which one I think will get

0:15:50.280 --> 0:15:54.000
<v Speaker 1>more snaps overall, probably Howard okay, And Cash said, do

0:15:54.040 --> 0:15:56.360
<v Speaker 1>you think Scotty Miller is going to be placed in

0:15:56.480 --> 0:16:01.480
<v Speaker 1>more packages? That probably depends on how how good Tyler

0:16:01.560 --> 0:16:05.320
<v Speaker 1>Johnson proves to be. I mean, last year, Breshad Kerreman

0:16:05.400 --> 0:16:08.160
<v Speaker 1>was your three, and if you look at it, the

0:16:08.440 --> 0:16:12.520
<v Speaker 1>snaps snap differential between Breshade and Scotty Miller when all

0:16:12.560 --> 0:16:16.000
<v Speaker 1>the receivers were healthy, it was pretty wide. Breshade was

0:16:16.040 --> 0:16:19.920
<v Speaker 1>taking almost all the third receiver stabs and Scotty was

0:16:19.960 --> 0:16:22.040
<v Speaker 1>getting you know, maybe ten a game or something like that.

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:24.160
<v Speaker 1>And then there were two games where Brushad was out

0:16:24.400 --> 0:16:26.800
<v Speaker 1>and Scotty Miller played a ton of snaps, and then

0:16:26.840 --> 0:16:28.280
<v Speaker 1>he got a little bit more towards the end of

0:16:28.280 --> 0:16:31.840
<v Speaker 1>the year before he heard his hamstring. Um. So to me,

0:16:31.960 --> 0:16:34.440
<v Speaker 1>if Tyler Johnson quickly grabs that third receiver role, then

0:16:34.440 --> 0:16:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Scotty is probably in the same position again, getting a

0:16:36.880 --> 0:16:39.240
<v Speaker 1>snaps where he can and and and getting more when

0:16:39.440 --> 0:16:41.960
<v Speaker 1>some guys are out with minor injuries. But on the

0:16:41.960 --> 0:16:43.920
<v Speaker 1>other hand, Scotty, I'm sure is going to come into

0:16:43.960 --> 0:16:47.280
<v Speaker 1>this camp whenever it happens with his goal of winning

0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.720
<v Speaker 1>the third receiver job. And um, you know that speed,

0:16:50.720 --> 0:16:52.960
<v Speaker 1>he's got his real he might be the fastest receiver

0:16:53.040 --> 0:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>on the team. And when you go to three ride receivers,

0:16:55.240 --> 0:16:57.640
<v Speaker 1>we often put god When Chris Scott went into the

0:16:57.640 --> 0:17:00.320
<v Speaker 1>slot where he was very effective last year, and and

0:17:00.360 --> 0:17:02.840
<v Speaker 1>if you put Scotty on the outside where he mostly played,

0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you've got that guy that can clear out the defense,

0:17:05.440 --> 0:17:07.480
<v Speaker 1>maybe make some big plays, but at very least sort

0:17:07.520 --> 0:17:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of clear out the defense to give more room for

0:17:09.680 --> 0:17:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin working over the middle of the field. So, uh,

0:17:12.600 --> 0:17:15.120
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna come down to who really wins the primary

0:17:15.119 --> 0:17:18.120
<v Speaker 1>third receiver job between those two guys and maybe Justin Watson.

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.600
<v Speaker 1>But um, so that's what you know. We'll see, we'll see, uh,

0:17:22.640 --> 0:17:24.880
<v Speaker 1>and we'll close with this. I think the name is East. I.

0:17:24.880 --> 0:17:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I hope I didn't botch that. East. I said which

0:17:27.560 --> 0:17:32.720
<v Speaker 1>position group will have the biggest battle this year. That's

0:17:32.720 --> 0:17:37.680
<v Speaker 1>a good one. Sounds like a good roundtable discussion. Warners,

0:17:37.920 --> 0:17:42.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, safety, Uh, that would be one. Yeah, I'd

0:17:42.800 --> 0:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>probably have to go with safety. I think at most

0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:49.320
<v Speaker 1>most spots, at the first two levels on defense, the

0:17:49.440 --> 0:17:52.680
<v Speaker 1>starters are probably pretty close to set um and then

0:17:52.680 --> 0:17:55.359
<v Speaker 1>on offense, you you can predict the offensive line. You

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:58.640
<v Speaker 1>know who the Titans are gonna be playing quarterback receivers. Yeah,

0:17:58.680 --> 0:18:00.680
<v Speaker 1>I think it's got to be safety. And uh, that's

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:02.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of young guys, including a rookie that they're

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:05.560
<v Speaker 1>really high on, that have to sort out. And that

0:18:05.640 --> 0:18:08.840
<v Speaker 1>doesn't necessarily mean just two guys win and everybody else watches.

0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles will do some stuff with free safeties and

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.440
<v Speaker 1>they'll have different packages. So we'll see how that goes.

0:18:14.480 --> 0:18:16.800
<v Speaker 1>But I think that's probably the best battle. All Right, Well,

0:18:16.800 --> 0:18:18.320
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for us on this edition of

0:18:18.320 --> 0:18:20.600
