Speaker 1: We still have I'm at a clerky. Three to go.
Speaker 1: Devin white got up great second season, but that's it.
Speaker 1: We're Casey bocks on the Super Bowl champions. They can't
Speaker 1: stop at the clock. We call them the salty dogs.
Speaker 1: Welcome into the latest episode of the Salty Dogs Podcast,
Speaker 1: wherein we talk mostly about buccaneers football, but also occasionally
Speaker 1: get off track a little bit. But Hey, that's part
Speaker 1: of the fun of it, right. Yeah, that's what it's
Speaker 1: all about. I'm Scott Smith. We are the salty dogs.
Speaker 1: We are yes, we're feeling pretty good. We're gonna have
Speaker 1: feeling really salty. In fact, I was walking downstairs and
Speaker 1: someone said you definitely must be getting ready to do
Speaker 1: the salty. Yep, I'm warming up in the hallway right
Speaker 1: we're also gonna have a good time. Let's let the
Speaker 1: listeners know what they're in store for today. We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about letting me know what we're in store. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you tend to have to wing it anyway. We
Speaker 1: were gonna talk about that great win in New Orleans
Speaker 1: and the fact that the bucks are too we know something.
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about something they haven't done ever before. Um,
Speaker 1: that we have done already this season. You don't. You
Speaker 1: got a quizzical look on your face. So I'm gonna
Speaker 1: catch you by surprise, like we're gonna take. We're gonna
Speaker 1: have a nice interview with Brandon Walton, we are, who
Speaker 1: played a surprisingly important role in that when in New Orleans.
Speaker 1: How do you do that? Has Four snaps previously, I
Speaker 1: think they were all on special teams. Yeah, and then
Speaker 1: he goes in. He had never played a snap on
Speaker 1: offense when all of a sudden he's protecting Tom Brady's blindside. So,
Speaker 1: and he did a good job. So we are going
Speaker 1: to have a good time talking to him. And then
Speaker 1: in our third say he's a local. He's a Tampa seminal. Right,
Speaker 1: seminal heights kid. I think it's heights penellas. Yeah, Penellas County. Well,
Speaker 1: that's part of Tampa Bay. Yeah, but it's not Tampa.
Speaker 1: That's what I reverted back. Tampa Bay. Yeah, the Tampa
Speaker 1: Bay area, yes, as it is known. Uh, not the
Speaker 1: actual water. He's not from there and he uh. So
Speaker 1: we'll have a good time with that one. And in
Speaker 1: the last segment we're gonna answer fans questions. And Jeff,
Speaker 1: I think last week you said our numbers are up. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I think our engagement is too. We have more people
Speaker 1: listening and more people. You know why, s e o? No,
Speaker 1: because you're giving them the website. That's what I was about.
Speaker 1: You caught me off well. I asked you if you
Speaker 1: knew why we are having more Internet. You can send
Speaker 1: us fan questions. You can send US questions. They don't
Speaker 1: have to be about fans and Um, and we will.
Speaker 1: I am a big fan of fans because it turns out, Um,
Speaker 1: we have, you know, on the road. I don't currently
Speaker 1: have like a small fan to pack in my suitcase
Speaker 1: and I like having a fan on when I'm sleeping,
Speaker 1: so I downloaded an APP on my phone that sounds
Speaker 1: like a fan really. Yeah, so at least I get
Speaker 1: the sound. Anyway, you can send us questions and we
Speaker 1: will answer them almost certainly. We try to answer all
Speaker 1: of them, if we can at least most of them,
Speaker 1: and send it to salty dogs at buccaneers DOT NFL
Speaker 1: dot com. Easy, easy, don't forget the DOT NFL. That's
Speaker 1: the part that's a little strange. That's the one that
Speaker 1: gets everybody. I think people are getting right, though, because
Speaker 1: we have a lot of questions again this week, Jeff.
Speaker 1: So we got a lot to do so I guess
Speaker 1: we should dive into it. But anyway, send US questions
Speaker 1: and you know you can always if that's the part
Speaker 1: you're most interested then you can always just fast forward
Speaker 1: to that part, come back and pick up whatever, and
Speaker 1: you also can make comments too. It's not just questions
Speaker 1: and faturvations disputes. In fact I got a very nice one.
Speaker 1: That is not a question, but it was very enjoyable later.
Speaker 1: So first of all I said something. The buckeers have
Speaker 1: done something they've never, never done before. Do you have
Speaker 1: a guess is or what that might be? Um, won
Speaker 1: two road games to start a season out. Correct. Correct. Now,
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they won their first two road games,
Speaker 1: because we've done that before. Sure, season opener two and Oh,
Speaker 1: start with both wins on the road. First time the
Speaker 1: bucks have ever done that. Crazy, isn't it? And it
Speaker 1: happens around the league. It's happened forty two times since
Speaker 1: the merger, which is like fifty two years. So Um, two,
Speaker 1: and I'll start with two road wins. Um. So it's
Speaker 1: not that common and you gotta feel like you're in
Speaker 1: a good spot when you start the season with two
Speaker 1: road wins in your in your bank, considering that you
Speaker 1: went up against two playoff teams last year. Well, those
Speaker 1: saints weren't, but well, play team they played. They were
Speaker 1: closed and, yeah, I should take that back. The Saints
Speaker 1: beat us like a drama for the we're halfway through.
Speaker 1: We're halfway through what was considered this gauntlet of the
Speaker 1: first month with a two and oh. That's great because
Speaker 1: worst case scenario, and I don't think this is what's
Speaker 1: gonna Happen Now, but worst case scenario, you get out
Speaker 1: of that with two and two, and the schedule then
Speaker 1: eases up quite a bit because we have we have
Speaker 1: the packers and the chiefs coming to town. But so
Speaker 1: we're in. You know, it's a good spot. It's a
Speaker 1: good spot to be. In fact, the buccaneers have won
Speaker 1: six straight road games. Bit, taking back to last night,
Speaker 1: which is you knew that one too. Yeah, which is
Speaker 1: good because we're a road team. Now, I'm going with that.
Speaker 1: Not for the next three weeks, though. No, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be strange, but you know what, here we are in,
Speaker 1: you know, the third week of the of the NFL season.
Speaker 1: We were on the road for three or two preseason games.
Speaker 1: We spent five days in Nashville. So I just feel
Speaker 1: like we've been on the road a lot. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna be really kind of unusual to go to Raymond
Speaker 1: James Stadium and go, Oh, yeah, this is where we play. Yeah,
Speaker 1: now I have to. Now I can bug my wife
Speaker 1: a lot more, a lot more often. So, Um, I'm
Speaker 1: sure Giselle is really excited, and by that he means
Speaker 1: my wife, not Giselle Tom Braids. That meant Tom Brady's wife.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Um, so the bucks are too. And Oh,
Speaker 1: there's no reason to complain, right, especially because knocking off,
Speaker 1: knocking off the Stane, there's many reasons to complain. That's
Speaker 1: what fandom does. Well, yeah, but but for us, no,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything to complain about. So I see.
Speaker 1: So I see a headline on the TV yesterday and
Speaker 1: it's one of these sports shows and the little crawl
Speaker 1: at the bottom says concerns over Tom Brady's slow start.
Speaker 1: I'm telling you, what you should be concerned about Tom
Speaker 1: Brady slow start is if, and only if, you're talking
Speaker 1: about fantasy football. Oh yeah, I was in a fantasy
Speaker 1: football show. It was not if you're if you have
Speaker 1: if you're starting Tom Brady and fantasy football. And Yeah,
Speaker 1: the first two weeks you didn't do well and there's
Speaker 1: a reason to be concerned that the buccaneers won't be
Speaker 1: throwing for three six yards per game like they did
Speaker 1: last year in forty three touchdown passes. I mean, he's
Speaker 1: probably not going to reach that again based on having
Speaker 1: two in the first two games. But in real life,
Speaker 1: which which is more important? Um, the the reasons for
Speaker 1: this statistical down, for turn for Tom Brady to start
Speaker 1: the season are pretty clear and obvious. I would think so,
Speaker 1: considering that we're having some struggles in the receiver department.
Speaker 1: We had Chris Guy went out, Julio Jones Out, Mike Evans,
Speaker 1: which we'll be talking about in a bit, didn't play
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, and Russell Gag and Brashad Perriman played
Speaker 1: despite being questionable coming into the game and probably not
Speaker 1: at that's what you're dealing with. And then it was
Speaker 1: go ahead. There were opportunities to complete passes that just
Speaker 1: didn't happen. Yeah, and there was a lot of near
Speaker 1: misses between Tom Brady and Scotty Millnow, who do not
Speaker 1: appear to have the same connection they had, and I
Speaker 1: sure wish they'd get it back, because I really like Scott.
Speaker 1: I do too, and I think he can give us
Speaker 1: some big plays. But I think the type of routes
Speaker 1: that we're just missing on are ones that would be
Speaker 1: better for Chris Godwin, yes, and they would be better
Speaker 1: for Julio Jones and they would be better for Mike Evans.
Speaker 1: It makes bigger targets when you're total sense, when you're
Speaker 1: trying to run like those deep posters, those deep crossers,
Speaker 1: they're usually a pretty tight window and having that big
Speaker 1: catch radius and physical nature of play that all of
Speaker 1: those other guys I just mentioned have makes it more
Speaker 1: likely they're gonna pull that ball in. Now there's nobody
Speaker 1: else that's gonna run down the sideline as fast as
Speaker 1: Scotty and he's provided us some big plays doing that.
Speaker 1: But we need more of the Godwin, Jones Evans type
Speaker 1: of snaps also, and in fairness to the tight ends struggled,
Speaker 1: the tight ends are are not nobody we have in
Speaker 1: our Titan group is going to replace what Rob Gronkowski no, no, no,
Speaker 1: so that's not there. The offensive line is large, large,
Speaker 1: largely reworked and was missing. Donovan's totally reworked. Tristan worse
Speaker 1: is still there? Oh yeah, I was missing Donovan Smith.
Speaker 1: And to my way of thinking, they've done a pretty
Speaker 1: darn good job the first two weeks. You know, the
Speaker 1: Russian game wasn't as effective, but saints are very good
Speaker 1: against the run all the time and, and that's the
Speaker 1: other thing, is you have to give credit to the
Speaker 1: opposing team. You have to realize that dellas is a
Speaker 1: pretty good front four and the saints are no slutch
Speaker 1: in that department either. So you're up against some pretty
Speaker 1: good teams too. So you have a lot of reasons
Speaker 1: why this offense is not really clicking in terms of
Speaker 1: big passing numbers like we expected to based on the
Speaker 1: last two years. But presumably we are going to become
Speaker 1: healthier in the receiving corps. Mike Evans has to probably
Speaker 1: sit out this next game unless he successfully appeals the suspension,
Speaker 1: which is happening as we are talking about this. These
Speaker 1: types of suspensions are very rarely overturned. It maybe would
Speaker 1: have been nice if it could have at least the
Speaker 1: process could have taken a little while and he could
Speaker 1: play in this game, but then he would miss the
Speaker 1: Kansas City game. So which one do you want for
Speaker 1: their well, maybe maybe, you know, like sometimes a guy
Speaker 1: gets suspended for three games and they cut it down
Speaker 1: to one game. But maybe maybe they'll cut it down
Speaker 1: to half a game. You can't start the game, but
Speaker 1: you can finish. That sounds like something fast. You can't
Speaker 1: play the first half, or you only get to play
Speaker 1: two quarters. You pick that, you choose, or or thirty
Speaker 1: five plays. There you go, somebody you have to be
Speaker 1: keeping one. It's like that's a clever idea. I like that.
Speaker 1: You're welcome. I'm gonna write that down. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 1: have a pin. That's all right. You have almost like
Speaker 1: a photographic memory. So you I don't know if that's true.
Speaker 1: You're pretty good remembering stuff. So, especially if I or
Speaker 1: on something, they're very good. Yes, so there's reason to
Speaker 1: believe that the passing game will be better, I think,
Speaker 1: and I'm not worried. I mean do you have you
Speaker 1: seen throws from Tom Brady that make you think he's
Speaker 1: lost it, like Lake Manning did in his last year?
Speaker 1: They weren't sucks, there weren't things, just like it was like, Oh,
Speaker 1: if the ball would have got there, they could have
Speaker 1: caught it. No, the ball was there. There was some
Speaker 1: good place, there was some good place and I am
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm going to jump ahead here, but you
Speaker 1: want to know if Tom Brady's arm still works. The
Speaker 1: periman throw. That was one of the most beautiful passes
Speaker 1: I have seen ever. The way it just dropped. I
Speaker 1: mean it was like who does that? He's like he was.
Speaker 1: It was like it was a drone dropping the ball
Speaker 1: in his in his hands. It was that perfect. Reminds
Speaker 1: me of the back Corner Scotty Miller touched on in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Didn't they more have a good term for that?
Speaker 1: When it's like yeah, it's some kind of box or something,
Speaker 1: I have to ask him again. Yeah, you're right, there
Speaker 1: is a term for that. It was. It was beautiful
Speaker 1: and I'm not concerned about Tom Brady's arms, his motivation,
Speaker 1: his health, anything. Okay. But in addition, two, me believing
Speaker 1: that our passing game is gonna get better. I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily think it's going to be as good as it
Speaker 1: was last year and I don't necessarily think it's going
Speaker 1: to be as heavily weighted. Last year we ranked last
Speaker 1: in the league and run percentage ratio last you know,
Speaker 1: we are this year seven and first in run percentage.
Speaker 1: That means the Percente of plays you run on first
Speaker 1: and ten first first in the league. It worked really
Speaker 1: well in Dallas. The rushing numbers were not great in
Speaker 1: New Orleans and especially that it was frustrating on some
Speaker 1: thirds from very short third and fourth downs. We ran
Speaker 1: every time and it didn't work. And Todd Bowles said
Speaker 1: on Monday we have to find a way to get
Speaker 1: one yard if we're gonna he said that we have
Speaker 1: to find a way to get reliably get one yard
Speaker 1: if we're gonna be doing this gold frown correct and
Speaker 1: so that will develop, but it was pretty clear through
Speaker 1: the first two weeks. Now remember Todd Bowles has said
Speaker 1: on multiple occasions after he took over his head coach
Speaker 1: and everybody wanted to know how the offense would change,
Speaker 1: that he wants to do whatever it takes to win.
Speaker 1: So if that means throwing Tom Brady throwing five times, fine,
Speaker 1: if that means US running thirty five times, fine. The
Speaker 1: buccaneers went into that game against the saints and it's
Speaker 1: pretty obvious that they felt the winning formula involved running
Speaker 1: the ball a lot, particularly on first down. It was
Speaker 1: sometimes you watch a game or a couple of games
Speaker 1: and you think, man, we always run on first time.
Speaker 1: We were talking about some people complaining about what you see.
Speaker 1: Your eyes did not fool you. On Sunday in the
Speaker 1: Superdome jail were doing twenty three first downs. We ran
Speaker 1: the ball on eighteen of them. If you take that
Speaker 1: counts two kneel downs, so it's fifteen one. Would we
Speaker 1: would we average first downs two yards? Well, it wasn't good.
Speaker 1: We did have a six yard round, a thirteen yard run,
Speaker 1: a seven yard run to five yard runs and another five.
Speaker 1: There were some good ones, but there are also a
Speaker 1: lot that were um but that was clearly the plan.
Speaker 1: We ran on first down and one, two, three, four,
Speaker 1: five six. Our first six first downs we ran and
Speaker 1: then the first passing through on the first down was
Speaker 1: to Leonard Four Net and we even ran the next
Speaker 1: time on first and fifteen when we got a false
Speaker 1: start to start the drive. So that was clearly the plan.
Speaker 1: It was a bit frustrating to watch for three quarters.
Speaker 1: But who won the game? Well, I get everyone's all
Speaker 1: cranked up about the offense and Blah Blah Blah, but
Speaker 1: I look at it this way. The team won. Not
Speaker 1: playing their best ball and there's so many times where
Speaker 1: we have been in buccaneer games where, in order for
Speaker 1: the team to win, they had to play lights out
Speaker 1: the whole game to win the game. This is a
Speaker 1: good football team that wants to bring its best game.
Speaker 1: But it didn't have its best game but found a
Speaker 1: way to win and to me that is worth everything
Speaker 1: because they can win without being their best. Now it's
Speaker 1: not that they're not try to be their best, but
Speaker 1: you're having all these injuries, you're shifting people around, you're
Speaker 1: having dropped balls, you're having things not go right. But
Speaker 1: I don't think it was the game plan that went wrong.
Speaker 1: It was the execution and I always, always remember that
Speaker 1: from Tony Dungee. It's the plays will work, you just
Speaker 1: have to execute them. So yeah, and then sometimes, as
Speaker 1: you said earlier, you just got to give the other
Speaker 1: team credit for making a gay but um, but but defensively,
Speaker 1: Scott two games, thirteen points and we were on the
Speaker 1: airplane and I met a comment. Yeah, that last time touchdown.
Speaker 1: Maybe I shouldn't say it was garbage, and you go, no,
Speaker 1: it was. It was a garbage touchdown, meaning they were
Speaker 1: playing a prevent defense a little softened up a little bit. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but what you do with the three score lead? Right,
Speaker 1: but you go against the top rated high scoring team
Speaker 1: last year in the Dallas Cowboys, holding them the three points,
Speaker 1: and then the Dell and then New Orleans Saints, who
Speaker 1: were playing pretty well or it had a great fourth
Speaker 1: quarter against Atlanta Falcons the week previously. So you figure what,
Speaker 1: they can score points and I am well, I'm pleasing
Speaker 1: if I'm pleased as punch. If you told me, um
Speaker 1: before the season started that the defense, the bucks defense,
Speaker 1: wouldn't allow a touchdown until fifty seventeen game minutes into
Speaker 1: the season, I'd be perfectly fine. I'll take that. And
Speaker 1: you tell me. Did we win those games? And we
Speaker 1: allowed the bucks allowed a field goal on the first
Speaker 1: drive in both games and some third dunk conversions on
Speaker 1: both of those drives, which at the beginning of the
Speaker 1: game you tend to get a little frustrated. Are we
Speaker 1: were going to stop them both cases from then on out,
Speaker 1: practically just shut them down and we're very, very good
Speaker 1: on third down. Well, it was like six quarters before
Speaker 1: we actually scored period. It was because the last game
Speaker 1: that we played against the saints was four quarters, nine yeah,
Speaker 1: it was nine nothing and then you're like going, Jesus,
Speaker 1: are they ever gonna Score? At a halftime I was
Speaker 1: like wow, you know, we had a chance for a
Speaker 1: field goal, but we didn't take the field goal. We
Speaker 1: went four, were at fourth and one and got stopped.
Speaker 1: You know. So there were there were opportunities, but I
Speaker 1: did like on the fumbled snap on the first drive.
Speaker 1: The first two drives were good ended Um. But it
Speaker 1: may just be that, even though I think there's gonna
Speaker 1: be some I think there's too much talent on offense
Speaker 1: and the offensive line seems to be handling all the
Speaker 1: transitions decently enough that we are still going to have
Speaker 1: some of those really explosive afternoons that we've were growing
Speaker 1: accustomed to. But maybe this team on a number of weeks,
Speaker 1: as it certainly was the case this week, wins with defense.
Speaker 1: Wins with defense and grinding it out on offense. If
Speaker 1: you have to do it that way, it's good that
Speaker 1: you're capable of doing it that way until you get healthy.
Speaker 1: So I think, I think if everybody was healthy and
Speaker 1: we're and the team is playing that way, I would
Speaker 1: be concerned then, but I wouldn't as long as it works.
Speaker 1: But I'm just saying is that I think it's way
Speaker 1: too early in the year to be panicking. Even you know,
Speaker 1: if you were O and two, you have concerns, but
Speaker 1: is not a panic yet. Well maybe, maybe the titans
Speaker 1: have got a panic going on, but you know, I'm
Speaker 1: just saying that, yeah, it's just so early. But Yeah,
Speaker 1: look at the raiders. They blew up in overtower, at
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter and then overtime. So it's like what
Speaker 1: Byron left, which said a week or two ago, maybe
Speaker 1: last week. He's he's people always say do you do
Speaker 1: you want the bucks have a more balanced offense. By
Speaker 1: wish they generally a more close to split between running
Speaker 1: and passing. He says balance isn't what he's concerned with.
Speaker 1: He's concerned with being multiple, and what he means means
Speaker 1: by that is the buckaneers offense has multiple ways that
Speaker 1: it can help the team win the game. If they
Speaker 1: have to do what they did this week, well it's
Speaker 1: good that they were able to do it. If the
Speaker 1: BUCCANEERS had to do a game plan like they did
Speaker 1: offensively in New Orleans, it's good that they were able
Speaker 1: to get out of it with a win. Right there
Speaker 1: will be other ways that this bucks if, if it
Speaker 1: works according to Byron's plan, there will be other ways
Speaker 1: in which this team wins Games. Now let's talk about
Speaker 1: how that all went down, though, because it was three
Speaker 1: to three. BUCCANEERS didn't didn't get it. Didn't get a field.
Speaker 1: Did get on the board until the third quarter, but
Speaker 1: it's still tied the game. And was that stadium loud?
Speaker 1: You know. Well, we gotta get to that too. Do
Speaker 1: you want to just digress there right now? Well, no,
Speaker 1: we I'm just saying is that you're three to three
Speaker 1: and they have home field advantage. It was so loud.
Speaker 1: I want to talk about that stadium a little bit.
Speaker 1: We can. So it's three to three. The buccaneers have
Speaker 1: had the buccaners have the ball kind of deep in
Speaker 1: their own territories. Still still not really in sync on offense,
Speaker 1: and Tom Brady tries to hit Scotty Miller down the
Speaker 1: right sideline. Um, it's incomplete and there's a decent amount
Speaker 1: of contact between Scotty and Marshall Lattimore. Decent amount, you're being.
Speaker 1: You're being polite. Well, if I think, if, if that
Speaker 1: was on a street, that would be called a mugging
Speaker 1: and there would have been in arrest and obviously, if
Speaker 1: we were saints fans, we'd probably be seen. It was perfect,
Speaker 1: perfect form. He was doing the whole he was doing
Speaker 1: the whole. Raheemorris looking leaning on the sideline. You kind
Speaker 1: of leaning on him and I don't know, in my
Speaker 1: opinion it looked a lot more grabby than before. Before
Speaker 1: we can get a punt off as both teams are
Speaker 1: trying to get sure. Oh yeah, their units in for
Speaker 1: the point. Something happened something. First of all, if you
Speaker 1: go back and look at some of the videos that
Speaker 1: have surfaces, surfaced Mike Evans initially walks right past marshawn
Speaker 1: and there might have been some things said back and forth,
Speaker 1: but nothing happened. I will say, I always say, that
Speaker 1: that's the problem with video is depending on where you
Speaker 1: pick the where you pick up on the tape, if
Speaker 1: you if you follow the tape after the play is
Speaker 1: over with. Here's the problem that most fans have. You're
Speaker 1: looking at the TV tape and they're showing there, there.
Speaker 1: They're not showing you a complete I saw a tape
Speaker 1: from NFL films. That's a little bit more and you're right,
Speaker 1: he walks past and doesn't get involved. But there was
Speaker 1: some jawing. Obviously, let's never know, angels and the Oh. No,
Speaker 1: there was just some joint from our sideline. And this
Speaker 1: is a build up. This was not just one play.
Speaker 1: This has been building up for years, more than one game,
Speaker 1: and both sides tend to do a lot of talking.
Speaker 1: We know the history between Marshawn and Mike Um and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's sort of boiled over. And marshawn and
Speaker 1: Tom Brady were arguing. I think Tom Brady as moments
Speaker 1: and games where he he barks a little bit and
Speaker 1: I don't know who said who who first, but it
Speaker 1: was your quarterback and your nemesis arguing. And then, uh,
Speaker 1: I think there was a little shove as Leonard and
Speaker 1: then pretty, you know, pretty's hard shoved by marshawn two letter,
Speaker 1: which is what Mike' saw. He comes flying out of nowhere,
Speaker 1: back into the picture, knocks marshawn down. Both of them
Speaker 1: get ejected. Well, there's also a big pile up and
Speaker 1: then the scrub. Then everybody's down and then they're trying
Speaker 1: to pull mike up and then Mike comes up. And
Speaker 1: when I was surprised that Mike took his helmet off,
Speaker 1: so there was an issue there. So it might have
Speaker 1: come off without him. He could have been but at
Speaker 1: least he had it, you know, he had it in
Speaker 1: his hand, so that ends right. Obviously this is a
Speaker 1: big emotional undertaking. Um You can decide on which side
Speaker 1: who lost their cool. And after that, well, I would
Speaker 1: say both sides lost their cool. I know, but I'm
Speaker 1: saying that was probably destined to be a turning point,
Speaker 1: regardless of which way it went. And had the buccaneers
Speaker 1: not done what they did and lost, I think everybody
Speaker 1: would be blaming that moment for the buckaneers once again
Speaker 1: losing their coolers. New Orleans. That's not what happened. But no,
Speaker 1: they were able to retain. Well, Jacob Marta goes back
Speaker 1: and he jacobard had a nice day, but in this
Speaker 1: particular case he kind of shanked the twenty six year points.
Speaker 1: So after this emotional moment, game tied, New Orleans has
Speaker 1: the ball close to midfield. I'm betting their fans were
Speaker 1: feeling okay, this is a momentum here. No question. Jamal
Speaker 1: Deane changed everything. I know he changed everything. Johnny on
Speaker 1: the spot two plays into the drive. Jamis tries to
Speaker 1: go deep to crystal lava, which he was trying to
Speaker 1: do all day, all day, by the way, sidebar here,
Speaker 1: which you're not gonna lie because it's about fantasy. But
Speaker 1: if you have crystal lava that game, you could read
Speaker 1: that game one of two ways. Either you need to
Speaker 1: play him all the time or well, Jamis, you could
Speaker 1: say Jamis, clearly can't hit him on those deep balls,
Speaker 1: so I don't want to play him, or you could say,
Speaker 1: holy cow, Jamis is trying hard to get him a
Speaker 1: deep ball. Heath must have thrown five deep balls to
Speaker 1: him in that game, right. So if he's the one guy,
Speaker 1: they weren't sitting Michael Thomas deep and they weren't sitting
Speaker 1: Jervis landry deep and but need of those guys is
Speaker 1: particularly fast. So Chris Alave is gonna be your big
Speaker 1: play guy. And we all know Jamis likes to chuck
Speaker 1: it deep. So if you got him, I'd sit on
Speaker 1: him for a while see if it works out. I
Speaker 1: was a little fantasy advice. I have him on one
Speaker 1: of my teams. I haven't played him yet, but I
Speaker 1: still think he might be. This is your theory right now.
Speaker 1: I kind of hope it doesn't happen because I want
Speaker 1: the saything to be bad. Okay, back to back to
Speaker 1: the scenario. It all looks good for New Orleans, and
Speaker 1: then Jamis tries to get um the love deep down
Speaker 1: the middle and Jamal jumps up, intercepts the ball lands
Speaker 1: on the end zone. Boom it was in the ensuing drive,
Speaker 1: admittedly with the help of a few penalties. But you
Speaker 1: know what you make their? Those those three unnecessary roughness
Speaker 1: calls on tackles, two against us, one against them. We're baffling. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I am. Yeah, and I'm trying to figure out. I
Speaker 1: noticed it in our game more and then I noticed
Speaker 1: it last night watching the two Monday night games. Whenever
Speaker 1: there's a flag, the officials now talk to each other.
Speaker 1: It's never just well, I think that's good. I don't
Speaker 1: know if they don't talk, whatever the initial calls is
Speaker 1: gonna be the call. Yeah, but I mean if if
Speaker 1: the guy throws the flag, I mean, why do you
Speaker 1: have to have three of them? You would have the guy. Hey,
Speaker 1: I think I saw this, but what did you guys see?
Speaker 1: One Guy, because first takes a long time, for instance,
Speaker 1: that first one, and then and then sometimes it's not right.
Speaker 1: So I think the first time, the first one of
Speaker 1: those was on Keanu Neil, you think, and it caused
Speaker 1: a fumble and the play wasn't even over. The guy
Speaker 1: wasn't even down. When I think it was called on
Speaker 1: Keno as the second guy there, as if he had
Speaker 1: come and jumped on the pilot the play was over,
Speaker 1: but that wasn't even the case. The play was not over,
Speaker 1: the guy was not down and he fumbled the ball.
Speaker 1: I don't I don't get that one at all. And
Speaker 1: then Levante with David Lewan, looked to me on replay
Speaker 1: like they thought he went helmet to helmet. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: think he did touch it. You know, there's times he
Speaker 1: I think he lived with his shoulder and sometimes you
Speaker 1: try helmet and sometimes you try to do that and
Speaker 1: you end up helmet to helmet and as as the
Speaker 1: Leaguer has made clear, your intentions don't matter. If it happens,
Speaker 1: it's a penalty. But in this one it just looked
Speaker 1: like he hit him and the helmet just kind of
Speaker 1: grazed on the sides a little bit. I don't know
Speaker 1: that's appenalty. And then the one that they committed on
Speaker 1: Cambraid didn't look like a particularly good penalty either. So well,
Speaker 1: the good news is that they were consistent in making
Speaker 1: you wonder if it was or not. So, and that's
Speaker 1: all you asked for, right, if you're gonna call it,
Speaker 1: if you're gonna call it questionable, right, you're saying there's
Speaker 1: some questionable calls against the buccaneers. So now one. But then, yeah,
Speaker 1: then there's some questionable calls against the saints that you know,
Speaker 1: Saints Fans are saying, Ohh, I look at it as
Speaker 1: as long as it's consistent, I'm good with it. It's
Speaker 1: when you go that was a little sketchy, I'm calling it,
Speaker 1: and then it happens to the other team and then
Speaker 1: they don't call it. So well, I think they mostly
Speaker 1: did a good job on not throwing past a parents
Speaker 1: flags when they shouldn't be. Um The fans there. I
Speaker 1: mean we just talked about how, in our opinion, marshawn
Speaker 1: probably did enough to get a a pass offerance penalty
Speaker 1: on that play Um against Scottie, but the fans were
Speaker 1: very ecstatic. They didn't but freaking any time one of
Speaker 1: our defensive backs breathed them one of theirs, they were
Speaker 1: losing their minds. The replay would go up in a
Speaker 1: look exactly the same. We're like, okay, that wasn't and
Speaker 1: the crowds just booing their heads off, kind of like
Speaker 1: in the replace they were trying to they're showing their
Speaker 1: you know, and it was instant replay and they're showing
Speaker 1: you know over and over and over and it's like that.
Speaker 1: That's speaking of which that Chrysal loave fumble at the
Speaker 1: end on the fifty one yard catch. That was an
Speaker 1: indication of how that rule has evolved in the last
Speaker 1: couple of years because based on the rule, as they
Speaker 1: used to call it, where if you were going down
Speaker 1: in the process of making the catch, if you didn't
Speaker 1: hold onto the ball upon hitting the ground, it's not
Speaker 1: a catch. I think they've sort of call that rule
Speaker 1: now is if there's some kind of move that they make,
Speaker 1: a football move. So I guess they were saying he
Speaker 1: got a couple of steps down, and I don't I
Speaker 1: look at that and looks to me like he extends
Speaker 1: to catch the ball and because of that he starts
Speaker 1: to stumble and he falls down because he touched him. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but he didn't have movement of the ball he got
Speaker 1: the ball, took two steps and then went down. So
Speaker 1: that's what you say happened. Yes, what I saw. That's
Speaker 1: what they say too, and that's what I'm saying. Well,
Speaker 1: you are right. I mean I saw what would have
Speaker 1: been called an incompletion by the rules of a couple
Speaker 1: of years. But now if they see him stumble a
Speaker 1: little bit, they don't necessarily say that that's him falling
Speaker 1: down in process of making the catch. You know what else?
Speaker 1: I go by the reaction of the guy who fumbles
Speaker 1: or does anything, because when a guy thinks he doesn't
Speaker 1: do it, he's very animated. But he kind of just
Speaker 1: got up. Yeah, he kind of got up and was like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm in trouble. I got back to the better.
Speaker 1: He doesn't learn to usually you're adrenaline tells you you know,
Speaker 1: you're you're you don't have to be a rookie. I mean,
Speaker 1: if you don't think he did something, you're gonna jump
Speaker 1: up and go no, there's no way. Well, in any case,
Speaker 1: I was a bit surprised, and happily so, by that call.
Speaker 1: So bucks drive after that Jamal interception and they scored
Speaker 1: the what would be the go ahead touch and Um,
Speaker 1: it was very exciting. And around this time I'm in
Speaker 1: the press box and I decided, and they had been
Speaker 1: announcing all the rules about the freaking elevators, and I decided,
Speaker 1: if I have any chance of getting down there, and
Speaker 1: because you can get stuck and then not make it
Speaker 1: down for the postgame press conference, which I needed, being
Speaker 1: I left that freaking elevator with seven minutes left to
Speaker 1: go in the fourth quarter and a whole lot of
Speaker 1: stuff happened after that, so I had to get to
Speaker 1: the locker room. So were you in the elevator the
Speaker 1: whole time? Everything was happening, but I did not see
Speaker 1: the second chamel dean interception. I was about to get
Speaker 1: on and there's, you know, you can see through the aisles,
Speaker 1: the aisles and Um, the two workers there. We're going
Speaker 1: what happened, and the one I goes they just intercepted
Speaker 1: it again. I'm like, oh sweet, and I get on
Speaker 1: the elevator and I come to find out it was
Speaker 1: and it was I was. I went down there was
Speaker 1: no TV. I wanted to, I wanted to sit there
Speaker 1: and continue working on my laptop while watching the game
Speaker 1: on a TV, but there was no TV in the
Speaker 1: press conference room. Press Conference Room, by the way, slash
Speaker 1: equipment who did double Dudeo. You know, when you say hey,
Speaker 1: they put a new locker room in, you're thinking you
Speaker 1: can't be worse. You Think, Oh, this is awesome, and
Speaker 1: then you go really, this is worse than the old one.
Speaker 1: Before the game they're walking to go where's the press
Speaker 1: comments room, and one of the guy goes it's the
Speaker 1: equipment room. It is so well, it's the equipment room
Speaker 1: in the beginning and then for the press Cott is
Speaker 1: they moved the equipment out, which I'm sure the equipment
Speaker 1: guys love too. Well, they love when we're in there connecting,
Speaker 1: but at least we can talk to each other more.
Speaker 1: So it's it's builds, its team building. You say it
Speaker 1: is team building. So I was sitting in a chair
Speaker 1: in the middle of the locker room and the only
Speaker 1: people in there were Mike Evans and some some workers, uh,
Speaker 1: watching the game, and it was just it was it's just.
Speaker 1: Once again, like you said, you think Oh, new, new
Speaker 1: locker room, which is only because they took the place
Speaker 1: where the locker room was and changed changed it into
Speaker 1: like luxury suite. So, which is kind of weird. Because
Speaker 1: nothing ever gets better there. Well, the craziness is the
Speaker 1: Tulane locker room is still there and Tulane doesn't play
Speaker 1: there anymore. So but that locker room just they didn't
Speaker 1: do anything to it. It must have been the one
Speaker 1: I kept walking by. They said the locker room one. Maybe. Maybe. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: because I heard a discussion about that. But anyways, uh, so,
Speaker 1: you didn't see it or you saw it on TV? No,
Speaker 1: I saw a bunch of but I'm just complaining about
Speaker 1: the super dominant. The best thing about that win is
Speaker 1: we don't have to go back to that place unless
Speaker 1: there's an unlikely playoff game, for at least a year. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were saying that on the plane and we're very
Speaker 1: happy about that. The nules trip is over. Nothing against
Speaker 1: New Orleans, the city, but the New Orleans trip is over.
Speaker 1: I don't have to worry about that place for a while.
Speaker 1: I think it was louder than ever. You know, we're
Speaker 1: up there in the press box. Were at the highest level,
Speaker 1: so right at the same level as the speakers, and
Speaker 1: for like forty minutes during warmups they were playing like
Speaker 1: techno and dance and it was so loud it was
Speaker 1: just hard to come, but they were also playing some
Speaker 1: nineties rap. That you were. I do like the choices. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you were. Rumor has it that you hear in the
Speaker 1: press box rapping in your seat, you know, and the
Speaker 1: and not only were you rapping, but you knew every
Speaker 1: single word. Yeah, well, I think it was rex in effect.
Speaker 1: That's what it was. I don't know, but they but
Speaker 1: I got a report on Scott Smiths. Scott Smith is no,
Speaker 1: I wasn't, bree. Scott Smith is rapping and I go
Speaker 1: it was the nineties. Yeah, Oh, yeah, he does. Well.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing. They always seem surprised when I when
Speaker 1: I know nineties music. Jeff, you graduated from college. You
Speaker 1: do know. Nothing happened until after they were born. Just
Speaker 1: remember that. What generation are we talking about anymore? IS
Speaker 1: IT Z? I have no idea, but if it, if
Speaker 1: it was two thousand before, two thousand before, before, before
Speaker 1: the iphone, nothing never happened. But here the surprise of
Speaker 1: the thing that I don't understand, the surprise from from
Speaker 1: the young staffers when they overhear something I had, is
Speaker 1: why wouldn't a guy who was in his twenties when
Speaker 1: this music came out? Why wouldn't you know that, because
Speaker 1: they look at us like we're parents. We were never young.
Speaker 1: I don't have any knowledge about the current rap scene whatsoever. None. No,
Speaker 1: you should be surprised if I'm singing. I don't even
Speaker 1: know Kendrick Lamar. I guess go with my son listens
Speaker 1: to that. Yeah, I don't know what it is. You
Speaker 1: have a college age son. You're more exposed to it
Speaker 1: in the car with them or because when car we'd
Speaker 1: play my music and he'd have he he wanted to
Speaker 1: listen to his own. That's true. You would rule that.
Speaker 1: The kids generally nowadays they have all their music on
Speaker 1: whatever device and they listen to in their headphones. So
Speaker 1: you don't hear what they're listening right. So that doesn't
Speaker 1: really work out. I know Alex is ever like closed
Speaker 1: the doors into his bedroom and like pump the stereo.
Speaker 1: Doesn't have a stereo. Do the kids? They even asked.
Speaker 1: Don't think they do. They just listen on their devices, right,
Speaker 1: which is fucking yeah, it's probably better they have access
Speaker 1: to all. Are Not getting the turn it down, yeah,
Speaker 1: but they're doing they're getting the you're getting the no
Speaker 1: response from Alex, Alex, Alex, doesn't matter anymore. He's off
Speaker 1: in college. So but you're still in the house going Alex. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the goes of UH. So, after my digression about how
Speaker 1: much I can't stand that place, it was sweet walking out,
Speaker 1: but I was but I always say this and and
Speaker 1: true story and I have witnesses to back it up.
Speaker 1: It was awesome. Just before the Mike Edwards pick, they
Speaker 1: come out of the huddle and I have an all
Speaker 1: call button that UM talks to everybody who's on the
Speaker 1: broadcasting gene, Dave, uh T, J parabolic people, producers, everybody. Then,
Speaker 1: if you don't know this, Jeff Ryan is our what's
Speaker 1: your exact title? Director of broadcast octoration. Right. So during
Speaker 1: the broadcast I can talk to everybody if I want
Speaker 1: to or individually, but I hit the all call button.
Speaker 1: I said be ready pick six, here it comes. I did.
Speaker 1: It was a Jamis thing and my philosophy was he
Speaker 1: was getting comfortable in his throws and who was out
Speaker 1: there but my kid and he baited him because you saw,
Speaker 1: he just stepped in front of the receiver and went.
Speaker 1: So it was like I'm gonna stand here and they're
Speaker 1: gonna JAMIS IS gonna look over here and I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna Count Three, two. Lunch got it done. So after,
Speaker 1: after it was over with, everyone wanted to take me
Speaker 1: to vegas because I was making the call. Like but,
Speaker 1: but there is a lot and and listen, uh, there's
Speaker 1: a lot of fondness for Jamis Winston, for he's a
Speaker 1: was a good guy when he was here. Holds a
Speaker 1: ton of the team records. He went to. Yeah, he
Speaker 1: went to F S U. So Jean has a fondness
Speaker 1: for him. But you if you're gonna look at all
Speaker 1: the kid, you can't ignore history and the reason. There
Speaker 1: is a reason why he is not the quarterback of
Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay buccaneers. There was he had that thirty
Speaker 1: thirty and Tom Brady was available and they made a
Speaker 1: move and I always look at it and and so,
Speaker 1: you know, he goes to another team. Good for him
Speaker 1: and good for him. Kind of wish it wasn't in
Speaker 1: our division. I totally agree, but I I'm not going
Speaker 1: to root for him to do great, you know, because
Speaker 1: we have friends on a lot of teams. You know,
Speaker 1: John Lynch is a general manager oft. I wish them success,
Speaker 1: him and kyle good luck, but not against US period.
Speaker 1: Um so so in that aspect, I think that that
Speaker 1: Um it almost was like to me. I thought we
Speaker 1: were just kind of, you know, the game plan was
Speaker 1: to go ahead and get him confidence and go forward,
Speaker 1: and unfortunately that is what the same fans are going
Speaker 1: to go through. You know, there's gonna be some awesome
Speaker 1: throws and some not so awesome throws, and our defense
Speaker 1: capitalized on it. So and Devin white is taking some
Speaker 1: heat for what he said, but I don't necessarily say
Speaker 1: it's a bad thing when, after the game he said
Speaker 1: we knew, we knew what he was going to do.
Speaker 1: We waited and on one hand I say, yeah, you're right,
Speaker 1: on the other hand is hey, you gotta play him again.
Speaker 1: So maybe you ought to keep that to yourself. But
Speaker 1: and I don't know if if you if you're doing
Speaker 1: anything that's gonna make it more aggressive. That, well, there's
Speaker 1: that too. And and oh by the way, it's not
Speaker 1: like the saints were ever very gracious winners. That's true. So, Hey, listen,
Speaker 1: uh spoils go to the victor. So there you go. So, uh,
Speaker 1: throw you way way off a little bit. You're okay.
Speaker 1: So you're way off your sheet. I'm sorry, I've got
Speaker 1: a lot and we're not gonna get to you need.
Speaker 1: You need to write. We're not. You need to write.
Speaker 1: This is where Jeff goes off to the races. So
Speaker 1: go ahead. What do you got? Okay, I gave you. You
Speaker 1: You get here, you are befuddled. You get credit for
Speaker 1: your prediction of the peace six H two other people
Speaker 1: you give credit to for something like that, not nearly
Speaker 1: as dramatically, but one of them is myself. After the
Speaker 1: the bad punt and they have the ball at the
Speaker 1: I predicted they're gonna go deep here. Yeah, and they
Speaker 1: didn't on the first time, but they did on second.
Speaker 1: They're gonna get going to take their shot right now.
Speaker 1: Then I'll give credit to Andrew Holman of our communications department,
Speaker 1: who was seated next to me, or I was seated
Speaker 1: next to him, and he got very excited on the
Speaker 1: interception and I could tell to him it felt like
Speaker 1: a momentum switch and like this is the thing we need.
Speaker 1: And I I said we still have to go eight yards.
Speaker 1: I mean we haven't scored, but you stopped them. So
Speaker 1: I understand where Andrews he felt quicker than I did
Speaker 1: that this was the turning point, and it was, because
Speaker 1: it was. From then on hemped it. It's a good
Speaker 1: job for him. So he's a numbers guy like you.
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't he does game book, which is
Speaker 1: he does so anyway. So now that we've kind of
Speaker 1: recapt what happened, how about we go back to this
Speaker 1: Evans suspension? I think some people are upset that, um,
Speaker 1: he was the only one suspended. I I kind of
Speaker 1: tend to agree with that. It's close. It's close. Well,
Speaker 1: I'll say this. The reason, the reason why I believe
Speaker 1: that is you're an instigator. You're creating a lot somewhere
Speaker 1: down the line. You're not innocent in this aspect either.
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna, if you're gonna suspend somebody in
Speaker 1: an altercation like that, you just can't I don't think
Speaker 1: you can just go one sided. I think it sends
Speaker 1: a message to everybody that, uh, if you get into
Speaker 1: a fight, both of you are going out. I think
Speaker 1: that's the message that should happen. If there's a fight
Speaker 1: like that, both both parties go out. Okay, but you
Speaker 1: often see fights or some shoving matches. I see shoving
Speaker 1: that don't result in necessarily ejections or suspension. I think
Speaker 1: to summarize what the League believes and why Mike got
Speaker 1: the suspension is because there was a phrase, and I'm
Speaker 1: paraphrasing a little bit, but because I saw the letter
Speaker 1: that they sent to him and it said you or no.
Speaker 1: I saw their stations and he was, quote in the
Speaker 1: violated the part of the rule book that had been violated,
Speaker 1: you know, rule twelve dash five, and the thing that
Speaker 1: they were emphasizing was that he launched himself at an
Speaker 1: opponent who had no reasonable expectation that he was going
Speaker 1: to get a defensive opponent. Yes, marshawn didn't know that
Speaker 1: Mike is Coming, whereas when marshaun shoved Lattimore, they were
Speaker 1: facing each other and they are so already sort of engaged.
Speaker 1: So while it was enough to get him a suspension,
Speaker 1: it wasn't a specific thing that when he sho Leonard, Leonard. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that was the difference in there. But I did, I
Speaker 1: did totally appreciate Mike Evans saying, you know, it's Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: which you expect, and I totally I get the point.
Speaker 1: I don't think that's two things. Two things one is
Speaker 1: Tom Brady. Would you want me to do? I like that.
Speaker 1: And number two, well, three things. One is that two
Speaker 1: is putting his hand in front of the things one
Speaker 1: is that two is putting his hand in front of
Speaker 1: the camera like the camera guy. No reason for the
Speaker 1: camera guy to be that close. Camera Guy's gotta get
Speaker 1: the shot, but the camera guy needs to be about
Speaker 1: five feet off and and he was able to put
Speaker 1: his hand there. So that's an issue. Are that? That's
Speaker 1: the second. The third is Mike stops, sees a young
Speaker 1: kid with the number Thirteen Jersey on, takes his gloves off,
Speaker 1: gives the kid the gloves and then goes moment in
Speaker 1: the moment he remembers the Fan. So I totally appreciate
Speaker 1: he does do that. Even gives away footballs. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just so that can't you said the cameraman should be
Speaker 1: five feet ways. So he was getting the shot of
Speaker 1: Mike leaving from in front of him. Claimed because after
Speaker 1: that obviously he was upset and there was a discussion.
Speaker 1: He's claimed he was giving him five feet and then
Speaker 1: I'm like, well, if that's the case, then how did
Speaker 1: was Mike able to touch her camera without even Hartley?
Speaker 1: So that was not true. That was not true, and
Speaker 1: I saw, I saw some film on that you saw
Speaker 1: some film and he was pretty close. He was very,
Speaker 1: very close. So get we understand you gotta get the shot, sure,
Speaker 1: but you don't have to be that close. That player,
Speaker 1: for it doesn't give you that you know you can
Speaker 1: get the shot. But again, like you said, if you're
Speaker 1: five feet away, you're getting the same shot. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but hey, cameraman is trying to do his job, Mike,
Speaker 1: but Mike, Mike was stilled. So the thing that I
Speaker 1: think about when Mike gets the suspension is I start
Speaker 1: to worry about the thousand yards season. There you go,
Speaker 1: because it's hard. One game that he's missing, sure, but
Speaker 1: I look at it this way. It's one game he's missing,
Speaker 1: so he'll get it in sixteen and he got it
Speaker 1: in sixteen before. Well, that's one way to look at it. Um,
Speaker 1: it would be nice to have the seventeen game, though.
Speaker 1: He so. What we're talking about is that he's the
Speaker 1: first player in NFL history with eight straight thousand yard
Speaker 1: seasons to open his career. But he's also close to
Speaker 1: the all time record and you know, obviously you all
Speaker 1: want him to keep getting so in a seventeen game
Speaker 1: season you would need fifty eight point eight yards per
Speaker 1: game to get to a thousand and through his first
Speaker 1: two games, including this one that he didn't get to finish,
Speaker 1: he hit he was over that mark both times. He
Speaker 1: had like seventy two in Dallas and sixty one in
Speaker 1: New Orleans, so he was on pace. But now he's
Speaker 1: got to pick those fifty eight point eight yards up
Speaker 1: somewhere else. So he's gonna have to have a few
Speaker 1: games where he does a little bit more than you
Speaker 1: would to expect, which you would hope. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: you would hope he would be able to do that
Speaker 1: and perhaps, perhaps, with Atlanta and Carolina coming up in October,
Speaker 1: he can make up the difference. Right now, speaking of
Speaker 1: this whole situation, I had to go to the saints
Speaker 1: website for something and it pains me to go to
Speaker 1: the website. I'm just Um, hey there, fellow they do
Speaker 1: the same thing. Some these people do the same thing
Speaker 1: I do. Son temporaries are piers, piers, so I'm we're
Speaker 1: all did you go to website and the main picture
Speaker 1: in you know, at the top of the page, is
Speaker 1: a picture of of that of Mike Standing there marshawn
Speaker 1: on the graphs. Of course they're emphasizing this and then
Speaker 1: you go do this. I don't remember who the writer was,
Speaker 1: but it was three observations from the game. That's something
Speaker 1: all websites to trianaddicts five observations for us. Their take
Speaker 1: on the whole thing, with the two injections was to
Speaker 1: me a bit laughably homerrific, because they said it was
Speaker 1: a advantage for the buccaneers because they lost a receiver,
Speaker 1: but we lost our top cover corner. So we just
Speaker 1: lost a receiver, we lost our leading receiver. You lost
Speaker 1: your leading cornerback, and I'm surprised they didn't say they
Speaker 1: lost their choir boy. And then it goes on to
Speaker 1: say that had marshawn been in the game that they
Speaker 1: might not have been able to complete that pass to
Speaker 1: Brushad Perriman. Huh, but if marshawn had been in the game,
Speaker 1: he would have been covering Mike Evans. Yeah, he would
Speaker 1: not have been. He would have been covering there's what
Speaker 1: they're saying is is that Mike Got Ejected and and
Speaker 1: had marshaw not been ejected, then he would have been
Speaker 1: on Pam. They're saying that the loss was unequal. They
Speaker 1: lost more than we did. And then this this idea,
Speaker 1: that that you're pulling out a thin air, that, Oh,
Speaker 1: if you had marshawn, they wouldn't have scored that touchdown.
Speaker 1: You don't know that. Not to mention then we would
Speaker 1: have kicked a field goal and we still would have
Speaker 1: won the game. We would have just wanted six, ten. Correct. Now.
Speaker 1: They didn't say had there not been two picks, they
Speaker 1: would have won the game. There have been three. WHO's counting? Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: if the buckets had only brought eleven players to the game,
Speaker 1: we can't get into that. Oh, you know, I meant
Speaker 1: they've scored more points than we did. They would have won.
Speaker 1: Just a little note for to back up what I
Speaker 1: was saying about crystal love. In fantasy earlier he was
Speaker 1: targeted on passes that traveled three sixty five yards in
Speaker 1: the air. That is an enormous number. It's like it
Speaker 1: was like six, it was like fifty yard bombs constantly.
Speaker 1: Three sixty five air yards. I think he ended up
Speaker 1: with but it doesn't do it doesn't do any good
Speaker 1: if it's not coming. I'm just kind of throwing that out.
Speaker 1: You are correct. Right. Thank you. There's a little bit.
Speaker 1: We've been going for a while now. Yeah, you're around
Speaker 1: six minutes. But Um, there was some stuff elsewhere around
Speaker 1: the league that I found very interesting talk about. Well,
Speaker 1: obviously the big story was that there were two just
Speaker 1: gigantic comebacks Miami. Something like twenty eight points of the
Speaker 1: fourth touchdowns in that game, but Um, two each to
Speaker 1: waddle and Tyreek Hill. Um, so an amazing comeback in
Speaker 1: the Arizona made they're amazing comeback to the raiders. The
Speaker 1: raiders and then wanted in overtime. I didn't make up
Speaker 1: any of these notes, I just him across them. But
Speaker 1: the last seven and the previous seven hundred and eleven
Speaker 1: games in which a team had a twenty one point
Speaker 1: lead in the fourth quarter and low, they won. This
Speaker 1: was the first time in seven and twelve games that
Speaker 1: that happened. Isn't that amazing? It's and listen, how what
Speaker 1: would you expect happen there? Baltimore imploded and committed a
Speaker 1: bunch of turners, no turnomers, and maybe Miami got the
Speaker 1: got the help of Um, they did the special teams return.
Speaker 1: It was called the Fu play. Literally it was I
Speaker 1: won't say the word, but that's what it's called, because
Speaker 1: they were just it's just a play that just doesn't.
Speaker 1: Just get out there and run. Ye, get it done.
Speaker 1: Happened sometimes and like when you're playing street ball, come
Speaker 1: just get it, just get just just make a play.
Speaker 1: Just Um. But it was Baltimore that actually had a
Speaker 1: special teams touched. Miami didn't have that. They didn't. They
Speaker 1: didn't have any takeaways. They did have. Baltimore had three
Speaker 1: scoring plays of seventy five or more yards. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how Miami won this guy. Well, how about how
Speaker 1: about the jets? The jets that come back? Yeah, that's huge, cleveland. Yeah, Yep,
Speaker 1: how about that? You know, New York City is all excited.
Speaker 1: The giants are two one, oh, jets are a hey, listen,
Speaker 1: when you're a jets fan, you're gonna take it. Oh,
Speaker 1: I think I heard it. Um on Sunday was the
Speaker 1: first time, and I don't remember when, it was the
Speaker 1: first time in a very long time that the Yankees,
Speaker 1: jets and giants at all one day. Um, and I
Speaker 1: don't think the Yankees have been the problem there. And
Speaker 1: only six undefeated teams left. Yeah, and we're the only
Speaker 1: one with two road wins already. Um, you name the
Speaker 1: six right, you can name I can name them. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can name the buffalo correct. Um, I'd have to
Speaker 1: probably go through the divisions. Yep, okay, I got buffalo
Speaker 1: with Miami. Um, Kansas City. Correct, that's your three. There,
Speaker 1: there's three. That's my three. That's three. Three that I get.
Speaker 1: So you can keep going. UH, San lost their first week.
Speaker 1: They're out. That's not them. Um, it's unexpected this week.
Speaker 1: It's unexpected teams. It's not. Jacksonville. No, it's not. Go
Speaker 1: to the NFC. Okay, Um, oh, Philly, Philly, Ye, unexpected
Speaker 1: a little bit. Yeah, I know some people who thought
Speaker 1: that pretty good. Yea, uh no, not Minnesota. They think
Speaker 1: about it. We were just talking about the city. Were
Speaker 1: the giants? The giants. There's one more to go. Yeah, UH, Scott,
Speaker 1: one more to go. I already said the bucks. Right. No, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, the bucks. Yeah, so I got there. That
Speaker 1: look on your face, I thought, no, you did. You
Speaker 1: hit all. That's why, when I said when you hit three,
Speaker 1: did the A F C, I was like, okay, now
Speaker 1: go to the NFC. Yeah, well, that that Arizona plant game.
Speaker 1: Did you see any of the highlights of the Arizona Game? Yea, yeah,
Speaker 1: when I got home, what I think it's hilarious is
Speaker 1: if there was a very important two point conversion of
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray's court, and if you read the play by play,
Speaker 1: the entire thing says K Murray rush has left end
Speaker 1: attempt succeeds. What actually happened is that, according to Info
Speaker 1: next instands, he ran eighty five yards. Gonna say you
Speaker 1: can't the guy, the guy that's writing that go just
Speaker 1: he ran touch. I think it's probably your pushing certain
Speaker 1: little things, pushing buttons Um, but I mean that is
Speaker 1: technically accurate. Ye, I'll tell you what was nice. I mean,
Speaker 1: I know we're running along here, but what I thought
Speaker 1: was nice was actually having at one o'clock eastern, that
Speaker 1: was game, and being on we at home. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: being on the road. Uh, it's a little harder when
Speaker 1: you're on the road on central time because, like, I
Speaker 1: went to the stadium, I left for the stadium at
Speaker 1: seven o'clock in the morning, even though I was telling
Speaker 1: myself it's really eight o'clock in the morning. By boy,
Speaker 1: it was hard because I got up at five thirty
Speaker 1: that time, which is really six thirty here, and I
Speaker 1: say just like okay, lie to yourself, tell you this
Speaker 1: is great, but it was. It was weird walking out
Speaker 1: of a stadium and the sun was out, you know,
Speaker 1: and it was and getting home and actually it was still,
Speaker 1: you know, dusk by the time we landed to watch
Speaker 1: the night and I got to watch the night games. No,
Speaker 1: but still it was like wow, I'm home, this is nice. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was good. It worked up. But I will say
Speaker 1: this though, if I, you know, if I gotta picket,
Speaker 1: as much as I love one o'clock games, I'll take
Speaker 1: the prime times because that means we're good. So Primetime
Speaker 1: Monday's on the road are not great then, but we
Speaker 1: don't have we don't have no, I think. I think
Speaker 1: probably when made it extra special was the Dallas game
Speaker 1: was a night game on Sunday night, and last Monday.
Speaker 1: I didn't really feel great until like two, well, probably Wednesday,
Speaker 1: just because you know, you're running on four hours sleep whatever.
Speaker 1: But Um, I think that UH, like it's pretty nice.
Speaker 1: We got game against the packs, then we have a
Speaker 1: night game at home, so that's not so bad, and
Speaker 1: then we have two road trips that are one o'clock games,
Speaker 1: so that's pretty so well, this last one worked out
Speaker 1: perfectly for me because we landed around seven thirty and
Speaker 1: then I just did the short little drive over the
Speaker 1: main airport, flying from Atlantic. So I waited like ten
Speaker 1: minutes and there she was. Done. Get any better than that? Right?
Speaker 1: All Right, m one more thing. Okay, Um, we're recording
Speaker 1: this on Tuesday. It has not become official yet, but
Speaker 1: it will. But by the time you're hearing it this
Speaker 1: should have happened. The buccaneers are signing wide receiver Cole Beasley. Um,
Speaker 1: interesting signing, I think so. Yes, now again, also because
Speaker 1: we don't have all the information yet. The report is
Speaker 1: that he's gonna be signed to the practice squad, but
Speaker 1: that doesn't really mean much because a you can be
Speaker 1: elevated and be you could later just be signed, especially
Speaker 1: if the if the Evans suspension holes and you have
Speaker 1: a roster spot open if you want to. And the
Speaker 1: good news, and the good news too, is that if
Speaker 1: he's on the practice squad, you don't have to release
Speaker 1: anybody off your fifty three. You wouldn't have to my point,
Speaker 1: because no, I'm saying Mike Evans being suspended opens the
Speaker 1: spot afterwards, afterwards, but you have to release somebody from
Speaker 1: the practice squad. So that's not gonna be good news
Speaker 1: for somebody. We don't know that name yet. Don't. Um.
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley might be surprising. Now had eighty two catches
Speaker 1: each of the last two years, so it's fair to
Speaker 1: say he's still got something left in the tank. Um,
Speaker 1: he is. I think what he helps. I think why
Speaker 1: the bucks would want him, why Tom Brady would want
Speaker 1: him is I think he helps. He could help us
Speaker 1: get some of the easy throws that were missing. especially
Speaker 1: with Chris and God one down, we're not getting a
Speaker 1: lot of the easy throws. He Beasley works almost complete,
Speaker 1: almost exclusively out of the slot. Knows what he's doing there.
Speaker 1: You can probably pick up an offense pretty quickly, especially
Speaker 1: it's just some simple things in the slot right, and
Speaker 1: he might give Mike, I mean Tom Brady, some of
Speaker 1: those layups that have been hard to come by with
Speaker 1: with the receiving. Interesting enough, though, he's a little guy.
Speaker 1: He's kind of little. I mean he's probably remember how
Speaker 1: Adam Humphreys was little, but then he also got kind
Speaker 1: of Jack that he played big. I would suspect that's
Speaker 1: the same thing with Cole Beasley. I don't. I don't
Speaker 1: think he's five nine. Um, it's a little guy for
Speaker 1: a receiver, considering you know, Mike. I don't know this,
Speaker 1: but I'd be willing to bet he's pretty solid, though.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, aren't they all? So I don't think that's
Speaker 1: that big of an issue. Okay, that's all I got, Jeff.
Speaker 1: All right, that's good. So should we get Walton? Yeah,
Speaker 1: let's do that, because we're running long. But that's okay.
Speaker 1: It's a bunch of fan questions. Okay, we'll be back
Speaker 1: the salty dogs. And we're back here on the salty
Speaker 1: dogs podcast. I am Scott Smith and I'm still Jeff
Speaker 1: Ryan and where the salty dogs. But now we have
Speaker 1: with us our special guest of the week, tackle Brandon Walton. Brandon,
Speaker 1: thank you for your time here. I know it's a
Speaker 1: busy day. No problem, no problem. So let's just start
Speaker 1: with the most exciting part Um. This past weekend, you
Speaker 1: got in the game at left tackle, one of the
Speaker 1: most important and difficult positions on the field. Um, Diamond
Speaker 1: Smith was out, Josh well started, but I got hurt,
Speaker 1: and correct me if I'm wrong, but this was your
Speaker 1: first regular season action on offense in your career. Right, yes,
Speaker 1: it was. So just tell us what that experience was like.
Speaker 1: It was just crazy how it happened, but you know,
Speaker 1: coaches looked at me say your next up, and I
Speaker 1: just went out there and I did what I had
Speaker 1: to do. You know what I'm saying? I had good
Speaker 1: coaches with me and my teammates helped me a lot,
Speaker 1: so it just turned out great. You knew that coming
Speaker 1: into the game that if anything happened at left tackle,
Speaker 1: you were next in. Yeah, figuring out plan. So wait,
Speaker 1: coach was has been asked about you a couple of
Speaker 1: times coach Poles since then, obviously, and has said very
Speaker 1: nice things. But I think both times he started with
Speaker 1: the fact that you just went in there and fought,
Speaker 1: that you weren't gonna get pushed around and you fought.
Speaker 1: When you're in that position like that, when you're thrust
Speaker 1: in and you haven't had a lot of experience yet,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure you're confident in your talents. Is it
Speaker 1: start with that? Just being tough? Yeah, so it's just
Speaker 1: you go in there and put everything out in the
Speaker 1: film and do what I can for my teammates and
Speaker 1: win the game, and that's how I'll continue to play
Speaker 1: moving forward. How difficult was it to just starting the
Speaker 1: superdome and as loud as that was. I mean it's
Speaker 1: hard enough that you're being thrown into it, but then
Speaker 1: the noise because it was loud. Yeah, so how did
Speaker 1: you deal with that? So we prepared for that during
Speaker 1: the week and when I went in I had to
Speaker 1: go into the type of zone with my teammates and
Speaker 1: just focus on what I had to do each play.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying? It's like kind of minimize
Speaker 1: everything outside of the huddle. Like can you watch the ball?
Speaker 1: I mean, how do you know when this when it's
Speaker 1: that loud? How do you know when the movie? We
Speaker 1: watch the ball and then we have other cues for
Speaker 1: my guards and stuff. So what team is helping me up? Um,
Speaker 1: at any point after the game was over with, did
Speaker 1: you just kind of go holy cow, I just played
Speaker 1: in an NFL game immediately? Yeah, so actually, before the
Speaker 1: game was over, Um, it was three seconds left. Offense
Speaker 1: went on into the field and I kind of sat
Speaker 1: there on the bench and then I realized I was
Speaker 1: like we still gotta do a figure formation, and so
Speaker 1: everybody was calling, calling for me and I was sitting
Speaker 1: there on the bench and like wow, I just really
Speaker 1: playing my first in the full game. So it hit
Speaker 1: me for what I even happened. But ever since then
Speaker 1: I realized that's my that's my job now. That's the
Speaker 1: best play for an offense. Almost missed the best play
Speaker 1: exactly now. Um, we'll get back into your past a
Speaker 1: little bit here in a minute, but you played tackle
Speaker 1: in college, right, and when the bucks signed you last
Speaker 1: year midway through camp, when there was a lot of injuries,
Speaker 1: you were still playing tackle at that point, right. So
Speaker 1: when did this switch? Because in this year in training
Speaker 1: camp we saw you playing a lot of garden, even
Speaker 1: competing for the starting spot of left guard. So when
Speaker 1: did that switch? Or maybe not switch, but you're adding
Speaker 1: that to you. I came into the League as a tackle,
Speaker 1: but I got trained as a guard uh buffalo and
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh so when I got claimed off waivers, actually
Speaker 1: only played left guard last year and I started playing
Speaker 1: tackle again during scout team just to give the guys
Speaker 1: a look and I had experience from there, from college,
Speaker 1: and so coming into the training camp I wanted established
Speaker 1: myself as a person that can play guard and tackle
Speaker 1: moving forward. It's a smart move. In preseason game, did
Speaker 1: you not play three different positions on the line. I did,
Speaker 1: I played. I played the left tackle, right guard, right tackle,
Speaker 1: I think, some left guard too. Okay, the same game. Yes, mindset.
Speaker 1: How what do you have to switch up to go
Speaker 1: from the left side to the right side? I mean
Speaker 1: you just you're just lining up and going. So what
Speaker 1: I had to do with learning from a center's perspective.
Speaker 1: So I can flip each side and played center before,
Speaker 1: like I practiced center, but I've learned it from a
Speaker 1: center's perspective. Someone, I do flip certain sides. I don't
Speaker 1: have to change anything in my mind, if that makes
Speaker 1: sense for someone to play a play standpoint. Okay, so
Speaker 1: when you're you're learning left guard, you're you're in your mind,
Speaker 1: you're you're learning it from a center's perspective. So I
Speaker 1: know the whole play before. Yeah, that's pretty cool. Can
Speaker 1: you play center? The more you can do. Yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: just gonna say so. You're you are a local guy, right.
Speaker 1: You played high play. He grew up in Larga. Yeah, cool.
Speaker 1: Is stre your bucks hand growing up? I was it's four,
Speaker 1: you years old. Oh, he must have done some reading up.
Speaker 1: Why do you let him to go ahead? I just
Speaker 1: want you to know, Scott did I know things? Yeah, but, Um,
Speaker 1: I got a tot someone that when they first won
Speaker 1: the super bowl, I remember going outside and my whole
Speaker 1: neighborhood was going crazy and I'm like wow, that's something
Speaker 1: I want to do one day, and then it's just crazy.
Speaker 1: Now I'm here doing that. So we were there. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were. It was pretty cool. It is very, very cool. Um,
Speaker 1: you know now. I mean you grew up in the
Speaker 1: in the bay area, grew up in Largo. It's almost
Speaker 1: surreal that you're playing for the home team. So your
Speaker 1: families here and so that they're coming to the game
Speaker 1: on Sunday. Okay, how many? I don't even know yet.
Speaker 1: I got a number and then I've got a couple
Speaker 1: more tickets. Just to make sure you'll figure it out
Speaker 1: and get your page. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, when you
Speaker 1: find out that, you owe the team something. So it
Speaker 1: seemed like you were a pretty good recruier coming out
Speaker 1: of high school, right, three stars something that, and you
Speaker 1: had a number of offers. What made you choose Florida Atlantic, while, Um, so,
Speaker 1: I chose Ford Atlantic because they were a big epicenter
Speaker 1: of business opportunities as well as they played to power
Speaker 1: five teams every year. So I got both the business
Speaker 1: connections and playing in south Florida, but also I have
Speaker 1: the opportunity to make it to the NFL, and I
Speaker 1: got both of those things coming out. Like I stopped
Speaker 1: connections in Boca and I'm here now, so it worked
Speaker 1: out for I mean, you don't have to get you
Speaker 1: too specific. For what sort of business are you hoping
Speaker 1: to be in? Oh I was just like people my
Speaker 1: friends investing and me and France with people in businesses
Speaker 1: like mine. So I can be in tune with that
Speaker 1: with my money after football. Yeah, I'm sure you want
Speaker 1: to play football for as long as possible, I guess.
Speaker 1: But Um, afterwards, do you have ideas in your head
Speaker 1: what you might want to do? I have a lot
Speaker 1: of ideas, but I just haven't pen pointed a couple yet.
Speaker 1: But I just have. I have like a little drawing boarder.
Speaker 1: They don't want to do so. I try personally not
Speaker 1: to ask the Tom Brady question because every one of
Speaker 1: your players get asked the same question. Butever, you kind
Speaker 1: of yeah, the fact that your first real regular season
Speaker 1: action was protecting Tom Brady's blindside sort of ratchet's up
Speaker 1: kind of the I'm not gonna say tension of the situation,
Speaker 1: but it made it kind of serious, didn't it? Um
Speaker 1: going into the situation, uh, kind of had a mindset
Speaker 1: of simplifying the whole situation to myself, so I didn't
Speaker 1: feel the tension as I was inside the game. So,
Speaker 1: like the fact that we were in a super dominant
Speaker 1: fact it was Tom Brady, the fact it was my
Speaker 1: first start, I just went out there, I'm just gonna
Speaker 1: do what I do each play and do what I
Speaker 1: can to help the team and then let everything else
Speaker 1: hit me afterwards. But like, while I'm in it, I
Speaker 1: kind of just focus it on one thing. Wow, that's
Speaker 1: that's not easy to do. Yeah, it's probably. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean to take the emotion out of it in the moment. Well,
Speaker 1: and that was a particularly emotional game as well. You
Speaker 1: probably already knew, but if you didn't, you do now,
Speaker 1: that it's not a real friendly rivalry between the buccaneers
Speaker 1: and was that pretty obvious right from the beginning or
Speaker 1: not until it kind of spilled over there? I got
Speaker 1: some of it last year and I just realized what
Speaker 1: it was and going into the game I realized how
Speaker 1: much of mental people around here so I want to
Speaker 1: do my part. Yeah, it was. How much fun was it, though,
Speaker 1: for you? I mean now that now a couple of
Speaker 1: a couple of days now removed, now you set a
Speaker 1: bar where you're supposed to be. So what are you
Speaker 1: working on this week? Just getting better, being a better
Speaker 1: player and still being a piece that they can trust
Speaker 1: and put me in the game, if it's a left
Speaker 1: tackle or another position. I just want to be there
Speaker 1: to help the team win. And how do you feel
Speaker 1: after your first game? I feel great physically. Yeah, physically
Speaker 1: I feel great. I feel like I can play in
Speaker 1: this league and I know I can contribute. So I'm good.
Speaker 1: What do you know of the packers so far? I mean,
Speaker 1: they do have a pretty good a couple of good
Speaker 1: edge guys, right, so they yeah, they have some really powerful,
Speaker 1: own big guys. So we don't what we can prepare
Speaker 1: for them. That's good. Yeah. I mean what's interesting, though, is,
Speaker 1: and you brought it up, during training camp, we noticed
Speaker 1: brandon being put in position to play a little bit more. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and this is in the very beginning to training camp,
Speaker 1: is that when you hit an inkling that things were
Speaker 1: going to be going to edit in the right direction,
Speaker 1: for your career. During during camp, Um, I'll actually say
Speaker 1: oh t a S. I got vote the UM place.
Speaker 1: We ran at O t s and I felt confident
Speaker 1: moving again and having a Um, kind of a blueprint
Speaker 1: what I need to work on in that month off.
Speaker 1: So I came into train and camp like, okay, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna going to attack each day and one player at
Speaker 1: a time, doing what I can to be the best
Speaker 1: football player I can be and see how far we go.
Speaker 1: Did that come from getting to be on the practice
Speaker 1: squad the entire season last year? Yeah, I was. It's
Speaker 1: meeting on the practice squads. Um, I just learned a
Speaker 1: lot and just going to get our defense every day.
Speaker 1: You cannot get back around. Yeah, do you have any siblings? Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have, Um, two steps siblings and two half brothers,
Speaker 1: and you have a daughter. I do. And how old
Speaker 1: is your daughter? She's four, so she's now actually comprehending
Speaker 1: that what you can do. Yeah, I was just talking
Speaker 1: to one of my friends actually that she's gonna grow up.
Speaker 1: No one not play football. She's not gonna realize that.
Speaker 1: She's a little bit holdest. She's like, Oh, your dad
Speaker 1: doesn't play football. Everybody's dad does. What's her name? Do you?
Speaker 1: And you're really close to your mom too. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: mom's going to be at the game cheering the loudest. Okay, see,
Speaker 1: that's the best. I think that's absolutely the best. That
Speaker 1: when you were able to share it with your family
Speaker 1: and then here in your hometown, I'm sure you're hearing
Speaker 1: from a lot of people you didn't even know you
Speaker 1: were friends with you right now. All right, Brandon, we
Speaker 1: thank you for your time, like I said, and and
Speaker 1: he's really squeezing it in for us because this has
Speaker 1: been a crazy Wednesday. Well, thank you all talking. Thanks
Speaker 1: the salty dogs and we're back here one more time
Speaker 1: on the salty dogs podcast. This is your part of
Speaker 1: the show. Yeah, it's a fun part. We're gonna take
Speaker 1: your questions and, like I said at the top, they've
Speaker 1: been coming in. Man, we're getting a lot about good
Speaker 1: so I'm happy about that. Without further ado, go to him.
Speaker 1: Didn't you think Brendan Walton was Nice? We didn't purposely
Speaker 1: do too offensive linemen in a row. No, but you know,
Speaker 1: I kind of like the fact that we're talking to
Speaker 1: guys that that most people don't know. You know yet
Speaker 1: and Um, they're always very happy who want Tom Brady,
Speaker 1: I mean, and they're all very happy to do it.
Speaker 1: They have been, which is which is nice. Okay, here's
Speaker 1: the first one from Sam and Nashville, and this one,
Speaker 1: unlike the rest, this one actually arrived a week ago,
Speaker 1: when today, when we were doing this. So he's going
Speaker 1: to be referring to the first game, but when I
Speaker 1: got back up to my desk there it wasn't like well,
Speaker 1: that's gonna have to wait till that. What a great
Speaker 1: way to start the season. I'm confident we will get
Speaker 1: the red zone offensei figured out. So Am I, but
Speaker 1: I was happy to see how well the old line did,
Speaker 1: since that was the unit I was most concerned about. Again,
Speaker 1: he's talking about the dollars. This question has nothing to
Speaker 1: do with football, but I enjoyed y'all's harmony of the
Speaker 1: bucks fight song last week. Bu Ce CE and eats,
Speaker 1: go bucks. I think I also sang a Bonnie rate
Speaker 1: ate at one point. You did no singing this week.
Speaker 1: That's a plus for yeah, there we go. We haven't yet.
Speaker 1: It's still early and you're not gonna get me to wrap,
Speaker 1: not even the chronic I will wait and see. which
Speaker 1: got me curious. Who is the favorite band slash group
Speaker 1: for each of you? And if you had to start
Speaker 1: your own band, I think he means together, what instruments
Speaker 1: would you guys play and who would be the lead singer? Anyway,
Speaker 1: thanks for a great work, and let's curse the saints
Speaker 1: in the fourth quarter. Well, I'm old school, so so
Speaker 1: give us a couple of guys, a couple of things.
Speaker 1: A band, bands. My favorite band was the doors. Oh,
Speaker 1: that's cool. Yeah, I got into the doors for a
Speaker 1: while and yeah, very much so. I mean, if if
Speaker 1: you have to go to just one, it would be
Speaker 1: the hard to go to just one man. Yeah, that's
Speaker 1: what for me it is, because you know, if my
Speaker 1: favorite recording arts of all time is Prince, okay, I
Speaker 1: could go with that. And I even got to go
Speaker 1: to the Purple Rain Concert when I was like sixteen
Speaker 1: years old. You don't even forget that, right? Well, I
Speaker 1: mean he's he's just incredible. Sure I don't. I can't
Speaker 1: say that I listened to a lot of prints and
Speaker 1: more unless happened to be listening to an eight station,
Speaker 1: but throughout my life that's probably the main go too.
Speaker 1: More recently, I really like the rack and tours, but
Speaker 1: you probably don't know who that is. Um, and involves
Speaker 1: white D I can't think of his first name, but
Speaker 1: from the guy from the white stripes, Jack White. It's
Speaker 1: another bandits Um. That one's really good. I was into
Speaker 1: youtube for a long time. Yeah, still classic. Joshua Tree.
Speaker 1: Joshua tree is the best. My name baby is pretty good.
Speaker 1: I think Josh Tree. But my my, my best moment
Speaker 1: seeing youtube was after Uhum, it was the after nine eleven,
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl after nine eleven. It was in New Orleans,
Speaker 1: as a matter of fact, and Youtube was the halftime
Speaker 1: entertainment and they scrolled all the names of the survivors
Speaker 1: of aren't not survivors of who lost their lives in
Speaker 1: the world trade centers. Um, but it was a very
Speaker 1: emotional and that's a concert that I always I saw
Speaker 1: him here. I mean Bruce Springsteen. I mean you know,
Speaker 1: I mean I can throw, I can see. I thank you. Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I'm not interested. Um. Yeah, Bon Jovi, no,
Speaker 1: I mean they're fine. There's not anything a C D
Speaker 1: C whatever. Back in black is a good song. Wow,
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a lot of favor black sabbath. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not a black Sabbath guy. I was never much
Speaker 1: noticing you notice I'm kind of throwing out head banger music.
Speaker 1: I liked prince in in my form of years in
Speaker 1: the eighties. I like Prince and I liked a lot
Speaker 1: of alternative stuff. That Red Corvette as one of a favorite. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was off the nineteen. That's off the ninth, it was?
Speaker 1: It something like that. Okay. So what is this other question? Yeah,
Speaker 1: if we were a band, what okay for me? First
Speaker 1: of all, I have no talent, musical talent at all,
Speaker 1: other than my angelic singing voice and Um, so I'm
Speaker 1: taking this as a fantasy in which I would be
Speaker 1: able to play. Well, it would be freaking cool to
Speaker 1: be able to tread on guitar. So I would want
Speaker 1: to be a guitarist. I played the drums. Okay, so
Speaker 1: you'd be the drummer. I probably would do some of
Speaker 1: the singing, I think, because I do like to say
Speaker 1: quite sure you do. You break into song down the
Speaker 1: hallways to do that Uite a bit. Yeah, Um, yeah,
Speaker 1: I was singing. Well, I told I said I wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna saying so I won't say. Okay, so that's that one.
Speaker 1: Thank you for the interest, Sam Um. I appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Next one, with the injury to Donovan Smith, any chance
Speaker 1: Tristan worth's slides to the left side? Godspeed rich. That one, uh,
Speaker 1: obviously came before the UM here. Here's what I'd say
Speaker 1: to that. Brandon Walton was playing in that game. If
Speaker 1: the if the bucks, were going to do this, I
Speaker 1: think they would have done that before going to Brandon Walton,
Speaker 1: who did a great job but had never played before.
Speaker 1: I think the problem when you started switching people. Now
Speaker 1: you've got two positions that people aren't used to doing.
Speaker 1: And not not that he could not, Christen couldn't do it,
Speaker 1: but why are you going to take another position and
Speaker 1: put h Tristan two unknowns? Tristan Um? Tristan is obviously
Speaker 1: he was a first team all pro and I think
Speaker 1: the other guy, I can't remember who was, maybe his
Speaker 1: worth or somebody, was a left tackle. So he was
Speaker 1: basically considered the best right tackle in the game last
Speaker 1: year and he's still that good. And if you move
Speaker 1: him the right left tackle, now no one how good
Speaker 1: Tristan is. Maybe he maybe immediately excited at it, but
Speaker 1: there's a chance he's not quite as good on that side.
Speaker 1: But things are different. Make a few mistakes because your
Speaker 1: hand mirror different. Everything changes so um and and in
Speaker 1: this particular game it wouldn't have made any sense because
Speaker 1: their most dangerous pass rusher as Cameron Jordan's and he
Speaker 1: rushes exclusively from the other side over the right tackle.
Speaker 1: So we had our best guy on their best guy.
Speaker 1: I think if you're ever gonna do a Tristan worse
Speaker 1: to left tackle thing, it's going to be a between
Speaker 1: seasons thing. If at some point Donovan Smith's tenure here
Speaker 1: comes to an end. Um, I think he's got at
Speaker 1: least one more year left how contract, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 1: If that happens at some point, then maybe you consider
Speaker 1: Tristan worse and then you take your time over the
Speaker 1: off season. So I don't think they're gonna do it
Speaker 1: in the season. I don't see it either. And and and
Speaker 1: nowadays there's so many good pass us was you kind
Speaker 1: of need to have a great player on both sides
Speaker 1: just so just leave your great right tackle a right tackle.
Speaker 1: I think that's the philosophy. Okay, next one from todd. Okay,
Speaker 1: here's a question that needs an answer and he wrote
Speaker 1: that needs K and e e d S. See what
Speaker 1: I did there, Scott. It's about the case of the
Speaker 1: disappearing kneepads. I've noticed over the past couple of years
Speaker 1: that kneepads have all but become extinct. Lineman now sport
Speaker 1: knee braces. I get it. No kneepads translates to greater mobility,
Speaker 1: but man, it strikes me to be a gamble. That
Speaker 1: kneecap isn't the rock of Gibraltar. Is there any science
Speaker 1: behind non protective needs being a worthy risk from an
Speaker 1: injury standpoint? I love your show. It's my first go to.
Speaker 1: Once published and Hashtag screw the saints. Appreciate so hum
Speaker 1: usually it's not the KNEECAP that goes bad, it's usually
Speaker 1: the side. But I can understand his point. Can you
Speaker 1: just thinking about like a helmet hit in my kneecap
Speaker 1: is chilling. Well, they have to wear they're required to
Speaker 1: wear certain pads. Okay, so let me ask you what
Speaker 1: you think. The answer this question is of him saying why? Why? Why?
Speaker 1: The disappearing kneepads? Because, uh, they found out that knee
Speaker 1: braces are better. No, the answer is he's wrong. KNEEPADS
Speaker 1: are required as a part. I went down and asked. Okay,
Speaker 1: so in other words, they're not as bulky. It's obviously
Speaker 1: not clear. That right, right? I mean, if you're watching
Speaker 1: the game you think they're not wearing could you go
Speaker 1: down see Brad Mike and I'm like, because, do any
Speaker 1: of our guys still wear kneepads? Because I kind of
Speaker 1: took this question and look at you. He goes yeah,
Speaker 1: they all do. He said they're required to. They required
Speaker 1: to wear kneepads, antipads. I guess it's just not as
Speaker 1: obvious anymore. No, because it's more sewn into the uniform
Speaker 1: than it is then, you know, like you would put
Speaker 1: it on and then put your pants over it. It's
Speaker 1: more in already. So so todd, take a closer look,
Speaker 1: because they are wearing knee very good. I didn't notice that.
Speaker 1: I know there there are requirements for certain pads. That
Speaker 1: didn't know. Knee and thikay. Hey, Scott and Jeff, right
Speaker 1: after the Super Bowl win, Super Bowl Win, I had
Speaker 1: written in and told you that I found out we
Speaker 1: were going to have a baby and that I'd have
Speaker 1: to fight mom to make the baby not a Seahawk Fan. Well,
Speaker 1: the surprise follow up is that we had twins, so
Speaker 1: now each could influence one. They just turned well, this
Speaker 1: gets better. They just turned one the day before the
Speaker 1: season opener and the cowboys game was the first real
Speaker 1: time they paid attention. Every time the bucks gotta tackle,
Speaker 1: my daughter would point and laugh, so I think she's
Speaker 1: going to be a fan. My son was just excited
Speaker 1: to see everyone running. Yeah, that's a difference between a
Speaker 1: girl and a guy. No real question. Yeah, I like
Speaker 1: that was enough to excite. The boy running around. Awesome.
Speaker 1: The girls being more analytical about it. No real question
Speaker 1: this time, but wanted to share a follow up. Here's
Speaker 1: a fun picture of the family watching a game last year.
Speaker 1: Stay salty fill from spokane, Washington. Now I did not
Speaker 1: bring the picture down, but I will describe it to
Speaker 1: you because it indeed was very cute. It's from the
Speaker 1: perspective of behind the two babies, who are sitting with
Speaker 1: their mom, who is wearing a bright green seahawks jersey,
Speaker 1: and they're facing the TV and the right, next to
Speaker 1: each other, and one has on the left has a
Speaker 1: Red Jersey that I assumed to be a bucks and
Speaker 1: the one on the left has a green. One night's
Speaker 1: gonna be a seahawks and on their backs that says
Speaker 1: are two on one and d two on the other.
Speaker 1: So that's very cute. And they're watching and they're watching
Speaker 1: the game. They're watching the TV. Also, I could see
Speaker 1: in the corner credit to Phil and perhaps his wife,
Speaker 1: maybe both of them, maybe her. They had a very
Speaker 1: nicely decorated Christmas tree. It was beautiful. Look at you
Speaker 1: looking in the background. See, whenever you take a picture
Speaker 1: you gotta make sure, you gotta look at everything, assuming
Speaker 1: that the names on the back are their names. They're
Speaker 1: they're finning in and Quinn. I like those names. Yeah,
Speaker 1: probably Finnigan will end up being called Finn. So Finn
Speaker 1: and Quinn, Quinn. It's good names for twins. It even
Speaker 1: rise with twins. Yeah, look at you, you're a poet.
Speaker 1: You didn't know it. I didn't know it. I kind
Speaker 1: of did that on purpose. Okay, rapid. Well, thanks a lot, Phil.
Speaker 1: That was a very cute picture. I enjoyed that quite
Speaker 1: a bit. All right, hey, Yo, salty dudes. I noticed
Speaker 1: in the past that when we have injured players, they're
Speaker 1: not always on the sidelines. Is that by choice or
Speaker 1: determined by the team parentheses, example, season ending injured players.
Speaker 1: Mike's suspension just came through and my other question is
Speaker 1: when a player is suspended for a week, can they
Speaker 1: not get team treatment for any injuries? Do they have
Speaker 1: to go to an off site center or just wait?
Speaker 1: Thanks for making our plus of one work day, one
Speaker 1: work day very smooth with the pod as always. Mackay Polaro,
Speaker 1: I like how you said an hour plus. I like that.
Speaker 1: So Um, two questions here then. The first one is
Speaker 1: can injured players be on the sideline? They can. Um.
Speaker 1: I also got a question in my written mail bag.
Speaker 1: Can practice squad players come on trips? And they can,
Speaker 1: and sometimes they usually all do, and then they especially
Speaker 1: do if they think there's a chance they might get elevated.
Speaker 1: And the reason why a lot of coaches like to
Speaker 1: take the practice squad players is because if you get
Speaker 1: elevated and it's a road trip, they don't want them
Speaker 1: to go. Okay, how do I get to the bus?
Speaker 1: Where do I need to go? What rooms? They already know.
Speaker 1: They know the routine and there is, there is actually
Speaker 1: a routine of how you arrive. It's a process and
Speaker 1: if you don't know, you do feel like a fish
Speaker 1: out of watch. A little bit. So they injured players
Speaker 1: can come and be on the sideline and I think
Speaker 1: it's more just choice by the team whether or not
Speaker 1: to do whether or not they come on the trips
Speaker 1: is probably determined by will going on the trip make
Speaker 1: it harder for them to do treatment or cause them discomfort? Right,
Speaker 1: like if you had if your back was really messed up,
Speaker 1: you probably wouldn't be a three hour plane fight, right. Okay,
Speaker 1: so yeah, you can, and the decisions based mostly on
Speaker 1: is it a good idea? Right? And then as for
Speaker 1: players who suspended, Um, the rules evolved a little bit
Speaker 1: in recent years. They definitely can come in and get treatment.
Speaker 1: They could probably eat meals too, but they cannot, it's
Speaker 1: expressly said when in the letter to them that they
Speaker 1: cannot practice with a team or engage in football activities
Speaker 1: and foot and conversation. So they can be in the
Speaker 1: building because really you don't want to deprive players of
Speaker 1: treatment and you don't want to make them go somewhere
Speaker 1: else because you don't know what they're doing. They planned
Speaker 1: for players here, so it all makes very much sense.
Speaker 1: But that's a good question. Okay, moving on. You're doing good. Hey, guys.
Speaker 1: I know we're not supposed to condone. This is Mike
Speaker 1: and Kinnecticut. I know we're not supposed to condone fighting,
Speaker 1: but I love having Mike Evans on the bucks. He's
Speaker 1: not taking any crap from anyone, especially that fraud who
Speaker 1: wears twenty three for the saints. Let's be clear that.
Speaker 1: How do you feel about Marciall? He's a good one.
Speaker 1: He's a good player, no question. I won't give him
Speaker 1: the respect of saying his name. I will always back
Speaker 1: a player who stands up for his teammates. Twenty three
Speaker 1: gets away with murder and never shuts up. That being said,
Speaker 1: I am surprised there was a suspension, given that Aaron,
Speaker 1: that Aaron Donald, can swing helmets like clubs and nothing happens.
Speaker 1: I'm also surprised only Mike got one, when only Mike
Speaker 1: got one, when three is just as guilty by throwing
Speaker 1: a punch at I think it was a shove. I
Speaker 1: don't think it was a punch. Um. And the thing
Speaker 1: about Aaron Donald is it happened in a practice, so
Speaker 1: it's not subject to league rules, it's subject to team discipline. Um,
Speaker 1: I mean when he got a stern warning when myles
Speaker 1: Garrett swung his helmet at East Rudolph. He did get
Speaker 1: a multi game suspension, so that would have happened. Asked
Speaker 1: my question. It seems even more appropriate now. Last week
Speaker 1: a listener asked the over under for games lost due
Speaker 1: to Ryan Johnson Ryan Jensen not being on the field.
Speaker 1: My question is what you're over under for fights now
Speaker 1: that Jinsen is out. He was always good for a
Speaker 1: few per season and I love him for it, so
Speaker 1: long they didn't come at the wrong time. I'll put
Speaker 1: the over under two. And since Mike already hasn't had one,
Speaker 1: I'm taking the over. By the way, since Tommy started
Speaker 1: it on Sunday, I hope he's paying. Mike's fine. I
Speaker 1: don't know if Tom Really started. You think it's a
Speaker 1: little nebulous. I hope you guys have a good week. Thanks, Mike.
Speaker 1: Go Bucks have a good week as well. Um, I'll
Speaker 1: take the I'll take the over because there's fifteen more games.
Speaker 1: I'M gonna take the under because I don't think there's
Speaker 1: gonna be any more. You don't think it's gonna be
Speaker 1: a single fight? I think after Um, after an eviction
Speaker 1: there you can't. You can't the coaches get a little
Speaker 1: more it's like, what are you doing here? Okay, you
Speaker 1: took the under, I took the over. Okay, I just
Speaker 1: think it's human nature at some point and when we
Speaker 1: talk about it. Okay, let's plus range rang J could
Speaker 1: be back this year. Ye, what define a fight? Well, right,
Speaker 1: so just a little shoving doesn't count. No, because that's
Speaker 1: not a fight. When it's when it's multiple, multiple and
Speaker 1: then more people comment. Yes, Melee. Yeah, I mean just
Speaker 1: to shove. That's just the other team could start it,
Speaker 1: by the way, correct. So sometimes you just don't back down.
Speaker 1: As a our team does not back down. So that's
Speaker 1: why I'm taking the over all. Right, one more, okay,
Speaker 1: of course, sure, our friend in Brazil, Alexander a hoy
Speaker 1: salty ones. Hope this finds you both well and relieved.
Speaker 1: The curses over, which means obviously, let me make sure
Speaker 1: that I did get to all these questions and not
Speaker 1: to that one. Yeah, to that one, the curse. I
Speaker 1: get the saints. Can you please, can you guys please explain?
Speaker 1: which is a good group, by the way too. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the voodoo dolls. Yeah, there's a group called the Voodoo dollars,
Speaker 1: I think. So. Here's a group called the Google dolls. Well,
Speaker 1: maybe it's the Google dolls. Then I think there is
Speaker 1: a Voodoo, a band with the word Voodoo, and if
Speaker 1: I can't thing, there's also Marie Lebou were you a
Speaker 1: blue Oyster Colt Guy? Yeah, pulled that one out of thing. Wow,
Speaker 1: you did. They're the ones with the cowbells. Do they
Speaker 1: have the Cowbell Song? Yeah, there were a lot of
Speaker 1: cowbells in the late sixties, early set. That's what made
Speaker 1: it great. Yeah, you know, your whole job. You know,
Speaker 1: if you were if you couldn't play an instrument or anything,
Speaker 1: they gave you a cowbell and you just like you've
Speaker 1: seen the famous will field. He was very enthusiastic about
Speaker 1: very much. I need more cow bill. Uh. Can you
Speaker 1: guys explain to me how the NFL suspended only Mike
Speaker 1: and he spells it the way? Mike's Little with the
Speaker 1: M One k three for Sunday's melee, without getting in trouble.
Speaker 1: I think I already did that. Yeah, we did. I
Speaker 1: think it's because he launched himself and a guy that
Speaker 1: couldn't reasonably expect to know he was gonna be it
Speaker 1: either in or either in, or it could be it
Speaker 1: could be a movie called the blind side. But he
Speaker 1: has another question. If not, how can we incorporate a
Speaker 1: totally new receiver in Cole Beasley, with just three practices
Speaker 1: to make him a factor, and on our first home
Speaker 1: game since you did? Thanks for reading. Alexander and in in Essement,
Speaker 1: though from saying that's actually pretty easy. He's a football player,
Speaker 1: so you just give him a couple of number of
Speaker 1: plays to study, you know, and then he does. He's
Speaker 1: not going to learn the whole playbook, he's just gonna
Speaker 1: learn what he needs to do for for the number
Speaker 1: of places. And part of the answer to is there's
Speaker 1: no guarantee he is playing this week. This doesn't it
Speaker 1: might be, but it isn't necessarily assigning for this Sunday.
Speaker 1: It might be. I don't know, but Um and they might.
Speaker 1: You know, they're bringing him in. They liked what they
Speaker 1: see and they want to see more. You know, you know.
Speaker 1: I mean they sign him, he's on the practice squad,
Speaker 1: but they want to see more. You know how much,
Speaker 1: what kind of shape he's in, a series and good shape.
Speaker 1: I mean we could get a positive trend in receiver health.
Speaker 1: Mike probably will remain suspended, although it's not sure, but
Speaker 1: if you get a couple of guys back, then maybe
Speaker 1: you don't necessarily need to press him in the action
Speaker 1: right away, but you got him down there for depth
Speaker 1: if the injuries occur again and and so he was sitting.
Speaker 1: He was on the street right I mean you could
Speaker 1: take a we have six team practice squad spots. It's
Speaker 1: probably not that hard to work out there, but it was.
Speaker 1: It was what I said before. I shouldn't have brought
Speaker 1: it up because I should have saved it for here,
Speaker 1: but I just think he gives you an opportunity for
Speaker 1: some of the easy laps that this offense has been lacking.
Speaker 1: We've had a we've had a handful of downfield play.
Speaker 1: Scotty had one, Mike had one, we had Julio Jones
Speaker 1: in the first game. Um, I think Mike had another
Speaker 1: twenty something your we've had a few of those and
Speaker 1: we don't have uh, Rob Gronkowski to give you the
Speaker 1: occasional seams splitting both play uh. We need. I think
Speaker 1: we need more short and intermediate stuff and that's the
Speaker 1: kind of stuff that he can provide you. He has
Speaker 1: something like five catches, but a career average of, I
Speaker 1: don't know, ten, eleven yards per carry, which is relatively low.
Speaker 1: It's more like a Jervis Landry type of profile. So
Speaker 1: if you've seen what Jervis Landry has done for the
Speaker 1: first two games in New Orleans, which has been pretty productive,
Speaker 1: this is what cold Beasley could give the bucks. And
Speaker 1: I agree with you he doesn't have to learn the
Speaker 1: whole playbook right away. To give him a limited amount
Speaker 1: of stuff. Use Him for fifteen or twenty snaps. Get
Speaker 1: some easy laps, help, help move the chains. And the
Speaker 1: other thing too, is you can go to the same
Speaker 1: play more than one time. So well, and in a
Speaker 1: lot of plays have options on them, especially when you
Speaker 1: work in the slot. Yeah, so you see, you see
Speaker 1: what the coverage is and you and the quarterback figure
Speaker 1: out there he's gonna go this where he's gonna do
Speaker 1: that one. Well, and now and now we, uh, we're
Speaker 1: getting ready for another fun, frolicking game the Green Bay packers. Uh,
Speaker 1: we those are always entertaining games. They've been good for
Speaker 1: US lately. They have been very good for us. So
Speaker 1: that'll be fun. The last two times that Tom Brady
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers have met in a regular season game,
Speaker 1: the winner of that game has gone on to win
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl really is two eighteen with the Patriots
Speaker 1: and the buckets. That's a good little like that one.
Speaker 1: How did you find that one? The NFL set out
Speaker 1: some notes today. One of them you just gotta read. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's nice. That's a good note. Let's keep that straight.
Speaker 1: I'll use US. That will be in our broadcast somewhere else. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll try to remind you. Well, either that
Speaker 1: or you can use it when you're on your your
Speaker 1: second okay, alright, cool, we got we're done. I have finished.
Speaker 1: I am exhausted. Exhausted all my time. We did good.
Speaker 1: All right, since you did, thanks for listening.
