WEBVTT - Will Shaq Barrett Have a Breakout Game vs. Denver? | Bucs Insider

0:00:04.559 --> 0:00:07.120
<v Speaker 1>Hello and good morning. Welcome to Buccaneers inside our Live

0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:10.200
<v Speaker 1>presented by Miller light, Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and of course this is where we are every Wednesday

0:00:12.160 --> 0:00:14.800
<v Speaker 1>morning attending to take your question. So if you're not

0:00:14.800 --> 0:00:16.960
<v Speaker 1>already watching a Facebook head on over there and that's

0:00:16.960 --> 0:00:18.680
<v Speaker 1>where you can leave your questions for us in the

0:00:18.720 --> 0:00:21.080
<v Speaker 1>comments section as we give people time to do that.

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:23.640
<v Speaker 1>After game. I was just love hearing your thoughts, your

0:00:23.640 --> 0:00:26.480
<v Speaker 1>initial takeaways. Great to get a win, Great to win

0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>at home, even though the right no fans and hardly

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>felt like a home game, but still that was such

0:00:30.800 --> 0:00:32.960
<v Speaker 1>an important game. I feel like um for this team.

0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>And then I just want to hear for you the

0:00:34.360 --> 0:00:36.199
<v Speaker 1>things that you felt really good about coming out of it,

0:00:36.280 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>and then we're encouraging you. Yeah, I mean it was

0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:42.920
<v Speaker 1>another good effort by the defense. I know at the

0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:45.240
<v Speaker 1>end Carolina had had put up a lot of yards,

0:00:45.280 --> 0:00:47.839
<v Speaker 1>but a lot of that was on drives at the

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:51.839
<v Speaker 1>end um where we were clearly playing a defense designed

0:00:51.840 --> 0:00:54.880
<v Speaker 1>to eat up as much clock as possible. But obviously

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>the key things you need to make this defense work.

0:00:57.600 --> 0:01:02.280
<v Speaker 1>We're there to takeaways and sacks. Four takeaways, five sacks.

0:01:03.000 --> 0:01:04.600
<v Speaker 1>The way these guys are playing, if they can add

0:01:04.640 --> 0:01:07.399
<v Speaker 1>those two elements, that's gonna be a winning effort most times,

0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.080
<v Speaker 1>I think. And it was good because it was a

0:01:09.080 --> 0:01:10.880
<v Speaker 1>group effort. I mean there was four different guys with

0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:15.000
<v Speaker 1>those five sacks, led by and Dominansoue with two, and uh,

0:01:15.040 --> 0:01:17.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, four different guys really created the turnovers as well.

0:01:17.800 --> 0:01:20.640
<v Speaker 1>It was good to see rookie Antoine Winfield make his

0:01:20.720 --> 0:01:23.000
<v Speaker 1>first big, you know, big play, which I think is

0:01:23.040 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>what they're expecting a lot of from him. And I

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 1>think that that. I think Antoine Winfield's got a really

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:30.520
<v Speaker 1>bright future in this league. So that was another big

0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:33.280
<v Speaker 1>thing to see. It was good to see that interior pressure,

0:01:33.360 --> 0:01:36.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, before uh, the season started in training camp

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:39.400
<v Speaker 1>at Nomenkinsoue was on one of these zoom calls and

0:01:39.480 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>he's he you know, he kind of theorized that possibly

0:01:42.640 --> 0:01:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he and Vita Vea might have a few more one

0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>on one opportunities this year because at this point, teams

0:01:48.080 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>they have to start paying more attention to Shack and

0:01:49.960 --> 0:01:52.120
<v Speaker 1>JPP on the outside. And I think that's what we

0:01:52.160 --> 0:01:55.240
<v Speaker 1>saw in this game, in particular, you know, between Sue

0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:57.880
<v Speaker 1>and Will Golston that was three sacks. Um. We can

0:01:57.920 --> 0:01:59.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about the offense as well, but I've been going

0:01:59.600 --> 0:02:01.320
<v Speaker 1>on quite a bit about the defense. I'll stop for

0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>a second. Yeah, when that works out well, because we

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.080
<v Speaker 1>actually a question from Mike Um asking about how realistic

0:02:06.160 --> 0:02:08.080
<v Speaker 1>is it that Winfields could have a chance for Defensive

0:02:08.080 --> 0:02:09.520
<v Speaker 1>Player of the Year, and I feel like we might

0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>want to throw in the Rookie of the Year. Yeah. Yeah,

0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's a player of the Year, but I

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.320
<v Speaker 1>feel like Rookie of the Years is a lot more

0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:19.680
<v Speaker 1>feasible for him to Yeah. Um, you don't see a

0:02:19.680 --> 0:02:23.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of safeties win Defensive Player of the Year. I

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:25.280
<v Speaker 1>mean it was kind of a surprise when uh, when

0:02:25.360 --> 0:02:28.720
<v Speaker 1>cornerback one last year usually goes either to whoever leads

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:33.399
<v Speaker 1>league in sacks or some linebacker who makes a million plays. Um,

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:35.680
<v Speaker 1>So it would be hard for any safety, and certainly

0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>a rookie safety is not likely to win Defensive Player

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.639
<v Speaker 1>of the Year. He's got a shot, of course at

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.239
<v Speaker 1>rookie Defensive Player of the Year, but I wouldn't put

0:02:43.280 --> 0:02:45.919
<v Speaker 1>odds on any particular player, especially after just two games,

0:02:45.919 --> 0:02:48.360
<v Speaker 1>so I wouldn't suspect that's a real high chance to that,

0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>But what's gonna take is a lot of big place

0:02:50.560 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>He's gonna have to have a you know, four or

0:02:52.639 --> 0:02:54.919
<v Speaker 1>five six interceptions plus some other big plays, and the

0:02:54.919 --> 0:02:57.440
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers are gonna have to be really good for him

0:02:57.480 --> 0:02:59.720
<v Speaker 1>to win that. But there may be some of those.

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.079
<v Speaker 1>There's probably some awards in his future. I just I

0:03:02.600 --> 0:03:04.800
<v Speaker 1>don't know. There's not a lot of evidence yet, but

0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.720
<v Speaker 1>he just feels like he he came into this league

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.800
<v Speaker 1>like a veteran almost, so he's not He may not

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:13.000
<v Speaker 1>have that same rookie adjustment period that a lot of

0:03:13.000 --> 0:03:14.760
<v Speaker 1>guys have, like you saw our cornerbacks have for the

0:03:14.760 --> 0:03:17.040
<v Speaker 1>first half of last year. Yeah, I think that we

0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>cannot overstate how impressive it is for any rookie this

0:03:20.480 --> 0:03:23.000
<v Speaker 1>year to play well, Like I just feel like, with

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:26.760
<v Speaker 1>as much as they missed and how weird this offseason is. Um,

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.120
<v Speaker 1>it really is incredible for any of them to be

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:32.799
<v Speaker 1>seeming NFL ready and not a liability at the beginning,

0:03:32.919 --> 0:03:36.600
<v Speaker 1>much less making some big splash plays early on. And

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.200
<v Speaker 1>that is where I'm sure him having you know, a

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:39.960
<v Speaker 1>dad that played in the league for fourteen years is

0:03:39.960 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 1>probably helpful. You get to watch film with someone like

0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>that your whole life. You probably are going to be

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:46.160
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more NF already. Yeah, And he said

0:03:46.240 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>he learned early in his life from his dad the

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>importance of watching tape and that he still goes over

0:03:50.680 --> 0:03:52.360
<v Speaker 1>a game tape with his dad for about an hour

0:03:52.400 --> 0:03:54.720
<v Speaker 1>after every game. So I mean that would be in

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>addition to helping him. How much fun would that be

0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>to be able to do that with your dad? Yeah,

0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:03.640
<v Speaker 1>that's cool. What's going on? Like that which you said

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:06.080
<v Speaker 1>about the rookies also applies to Tristan Worse, who's been

0:04:06.080 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>pretty darn solid his first two games. I completely agree,

0:04:08.760 --> 0:04:11.600
<v Speaker 1>especially with Cam Jordan being your first matchups. Yeah, that's

0:04:11.600 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>got to make us feel really great about where he's

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be. Is only going to get more comfortable

0:04:15.040 --> 0:04:18.279
<v Speaker 1>in this offense, offense and more ready. Um John had asked,

0:04:18.279 --> 0:04:19.599
<v Speaker 1>and I think this is a great question. Do you

0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.520
<v Speaker 1>think we break the woes against backup quarterbacks this weekend? Denver?

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:29.279
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's it's funny because it does feel that way, right,

0:04:29.400 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Like you go into a game against I don't know,

0:04:32.000 --> 0:04:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Matt Moore, case Keenum and you think, well, we got

0:04:34.560 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>a better shot because they're starters out that's like. The

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>thing about that is it's relatively recent history that makes

0:04:41.160 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 1>us feel that way. Um. You know, if you look

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>at the two thousand and two Super Bowl season as

0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:48.680
<v Speaker 1>an example, the Buccaneers got a little bit lucky that year.

0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.640
<v Speaker 1>They were a great team, obviously and especially by the

0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:54.440
<v Speaker 1>end of the year, but that year was really crazy

0:04:54.480 --> 0:04:58.039
<v Speaker 1>in the number of backup quarterbacks that didn't really last

0:04:58.040 --> 0:05:00.000
<v Speaker 1>and leave at the Buck's face that you're like Randy

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.799
<v Speaker 1>Fasani and Carolina. Tell me if you remember these names.

0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:07.520
<v Speaker 1>Randy Fasani. Um uh, Jeff Burris there was. His last

0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.560
<v Speaker 1>name was Burrus. He was the Chicago starters in the

0:05:09.640 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>year Baltimore had h I like a starter who are

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.919
<v Speaker 1>who barely made any games that year? So I know

0:05:17.000 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>what this this person is his name John right, I

0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>know what John is saying. I feel the same way.

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>But it's there's no reason to expect that just because

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:29.640
<v Speaker 1>the backups in that terrible things are gonna happen for

0:05:29.720 --> 0:05:34.000
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks again. And honestly, in this particular game, Jeff Driscoll,

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.680
<v Speaker 1>who's the backup, has more NFL starts than the guy

0:05:36.720 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>he's replacing, Drew lock. Um, So I'm not sure how

0:05:40.120 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>much of a difference we're really looking at there. Okay,

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:46.159
<v Speaker 1>and Daniel had asked about, what are your observations of

0:05:46.240 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Gronk so far this year? Well, I mean, I think,

0:05:49.880 --> 0:05:51.520
<v Speaker 1>for one thing, he's been on the field a lot,

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.039
<v Speaker 1>and he's in line as a blocker a lot and

0:05:54.080 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>helping a lot in that respect. I think it was

0:05:55.920 --> 0:06:00.520
<v Speaker 1>that in particular, was better this week than in week two. Clearly,

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Um still working on getting him more involved in the

0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>passing game, and a couple of the plays we've tried

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:06.680
<v Speaker 1>to go to him have ended up in bad plays

0:06:06.720 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>like the interception and the last one that's not necessarily

0:06:09.400 --> 0:06:12.480
<v Speaker 1>his fault the ball sailed over his head. But Um,

0:06:12.480 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>clearly that part of the offense has not been unlocked yet.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>And you know, coach said Coacharian said yesterday, our offense

0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:22.640
<v Speaker 1>does not throw a million passes to the tight ends.

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He didn't say million. I'm paraphrasing, you know, And that

0:06:26.520 --> 0:06:30.040
<v Speaker 1>makes sense with the guys that we have. So I

0:06:30.120 --> 0:06:32.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know if if you should we should probably temper

0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>our expectations at this point and not expect like an

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.400
<v Speaker 1>eight hundred yard season from Gronkowski. But I do believe

0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:40.119
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna be more involved. Yeah. Funny when I've talked

0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:42.320
<v Speaker 1>to Bruce, you know, for the show that I do

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.280
<v Speaker 1>with him, and he kind of I asked him just

0:06:44.320 --> 0:06:46.600
<v Speaker 1>about the Titans overall in the chemistry there, and it's

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:48.960
<v Speaker 1>funny he kind of um laughed and said, well, you know,

0:06:49.000 --> 0:06:51.039
<v Speaker 1>I've never really thrown the tight ends as much as

0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:53.360
<v Speaker 1>people seem to, you know, think or whatever. That it

0:06:53.400 --> 0:06:55.280
<v Speaker 1>was kind of funny that you remember that. Yeah, I mean,

0:06:55.880 --> 0:06:57.360
<v Speaker 1>part of it is going to just be the design

0:06:57.400 --> 0:06:59.599
<v Speaker 1>of the offense. There are only so many you know

0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.479
<v Speaker 1>all to go around, and when you have so many

0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.000
<v Speaker 1>offensive weapons, and um that maybe it is. It can

0:07:06.040 --> 0:07:08.360
<v Speaker 1>mean that the Titans are doing a great job of

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:11.040
<v Speaker 1>what they're asked to do in this offense, and it

0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:13.520
<v Speaker 1>may just not be what people assumed they were going

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.480
<v Speaker 1>to be asked to do in this offense, which is Yeah,

0:07:15.680 --> 0:07:17.600
<v Speaker 1>I think what we need is just just one of

0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:20.400
<v Speaker 1>those that first Gronck moment where he catches some pass

0:07:20.400 --> 0:07:22.840
<v Speaker 1>over the middle of the field and starts bowling over guys.

0:07:23.240 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean that's gonna happen at some point. I think

0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:26.480
<v Speaker 1>we'd all feel that better once we get to see

0:07:26.480 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>one or two of those. Yeah, and I just I

0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:31.840
<v Speaker 1>need a gron spike in the end zone. Yeah, that's right. Okay.

0:07:31.960 --> 0:07:34.640
<v Speaker 1>Richard asked, does Shack Bear go off this week for

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 1>the revenge game? That makes a lot of sense. And

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:39.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's dying to get on the board after

0:07:39.960 --> 0:07:41.640
<v Speaker 1>two games without a sack. You know, we only had

0:07:41.960 --> 0:07:44.080
<v Speaker 1>four games that he didn't have a sack game last year,

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:46.680
<v Speaker 1>and uh, he had nine sacks by the end of

0:07:46.680 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 1>his first four games. So last year was the real

0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>hot start, a little bit of a lull, and then

0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>a good second half. Maybe this year it's it's a

0:07:54.520 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>different pattern, but he still gets to double digits. And

0:07:57.320 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>it sure would make a lot of sense for it

0:07:58.680 --> 0:08:00.920
<v Speaker 1>to start here because I don't know, revenge is the

0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>right word, you know what I'm saying. It's not like

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>they cut him. They gave him a shot. First of all,

0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:06.960
<v Speaker 1>he was an undrafted rookie. They were the first team

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.520
<v Speaker 1>to give him a shot, and uh, he played. He

0:08:09.600 --> 0:08:13.080
<v Speaker 1>was there five years, played four years, and you know,

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:15.200
<v Speaker 1>he got to play quite a bit and it launched

0:08:15.240 --> 0:08:17.000
<v Speaker 1>his career. And then he was a free agent and

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't like you know, den Vershuneda, really there wasn't

0:08:21.120 --> 0:08:23.200
<v Speaker 1>He didn't have a ton of offers. If you remember,

0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>he got a one year deal from the Buccaneers, like

0:08:25.400 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>a prove it deal and proved it in the biggest

0:08:28.320 --> 0:08:31.400
<v Speaker 1>way possible. Uh. And that's awesome. All that is good news.

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he would like to show Denver what they're missing,

0:08:34.520 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>especially now that they don't have Von Miller. But um,

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if revenge is the right word. Yeah,

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>I was thinking that a lot of times we hear

0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:43.400
<v Speaker 1>so much about football players do better when they have

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.400
<v Speaker 1>a bit of a chip on their shoulder, and after

0:08:45.480 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>having nineteen and a half sacks, it might be a

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.600
<v Speaker 1>little harder to come up with a chip on your

0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.800
<v Speaker 1>shoulder for some games. Except this one, though, feels like

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>that that leads itself to it a little bit. Well,

0:08:54.520 --> 0:08:56.320
<v Speaker 1>I would say, in a bigger sense, the chip on

0:08:56.360 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>his shoulder would be that to prove that last year

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.040
<v Speaker 1>was no fluke. And you know, this is also a

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.080
<v Speaker 1>player who's again on a one year contract because it's

0:09:03.080 --> 0:09:06.560
<v Speaker 1>a franchise deal. Uh And obviously next year is hoping

0:09:06.600 --> 0:09:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to get a long term deal, and so that would

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.000
<v Speaker 1>help for him to have another big season for sure.

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.960
<v Speaker 1>Timmy asked if for Nette has another solid game, do

0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:16.679
<v Speaker 1>you think he'll be the starter in week four? This

0:09:16.760 --> 0:09:18.880
<v Speaker 1>is clearly the question that we're gonna have to answer

0:09:18.960 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>every week in every forum, our podcast, this mail bags.

0:09:24.440 --> 0:09:27.000
<v Speaker 1>We're gonna we're gonna be answering this question week after

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:30.160
<v Speaker 1>week after week until and unless that change is made,

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's gonna be the same answer every time. I

0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:35.440
<v Speaker 1>don't think it's that big of a deal. Honestly, look

0:09:35.440 --> 0:09:38.200
<v Speaker 1>at last year, Peyton Barber was the starter for the

0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:40.440
<v Speaker 1>first seven games, then ron Jones was starter for the

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:43.600
<v Speaker 1>last nine games. But even after the switch, they still

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:47.559
<v Speaker 1>were splitting the carry is almost the same amount um

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:49.840
<v Speaker 1>and and they're both wrong. Jones and Leonard Fronette are

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>both going to run the football. That's going to happen. Clearly,

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.840
<v Speaker 1>you can tell from Bruce arians is usage of the

0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:58.000
<v Speaker 1>back since he got here that he wants at least

0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>two guys that are basically feature backs, and he plans

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>to use them both. And didn't matter that Leonard Fournett

0:10:03.920 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>didn't start the last game. It really didn't, you know.

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.319
<v Speaker 1>And we had several good drives with Ronald Jones on

0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:11.079
<v Speaker 1>the field, and he scored a touchdown, had some nice runs,

0:10:11.080 --> 0:10:13.319
<v Speaker 1>made some nice plays, and then Leonard Fournette had the

0:10:13.320 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>fresh legs at the end, which was awesome. A power runner,

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.280
<v Speaker 1>and you know, he reached like twenty one point four

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:21.760
<v Speaker 1>miles per hour on the touchdown run. Uh, the formulas

0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.280
<v Speaker 1>working and and so there's no real need. I mean,

0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.959
<v Speaker 1>does it matter who's the first guy on the field

0:10:27.240 --> 0:10:29.760
<v Speaker 1>now that being said, if Leonard Fournette keeps having a

0:10:29.800 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 1>hundred yard games, and yes, of course they will start them,

0:10:32.160 --> 0:10:34.880
<v Speaker 1>but at this point it really doesn't matter. Yeah, And

0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:36.680
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was an interesting question to go along

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>with it because of the thin air in Denver. Could

0:10:39.240 --> 0:10:40.800
<v Speaker 1>it be a good approach to have for Nette as

0:10:40.800 --> 0:10:42.520
<v Speaker 1>the closer in the second half? And I know coach

0:10:42.559 --> 0:10:44.800
<v Speaker 1>talked about the idea of him having the fresh legs

0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.559
<v Speaker 1>this last week. So to your point, the way you

0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:52.760
<v Speaker 1>utilize guys isn't always just about a starter mindset. But yeah,

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>I thought that I want to hear your thoughts on that,

0:10:54.520 --> 0:10:56.440
<v Speaker 1>and then just maybe overall the altitude and the way

0:10:56.480 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>it could affect the game plan overall. It's a good

0:10:59.080 --> 0:11:01.000
<v Speaker 1>question on the altitude. You know, it's been eight years

0:11:01.040 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>since we've been there. Um, which means most people haven't

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:07.440
<v Speaker 1>even gone there that have been on this right now.

0:11:07.520 --> 0:11:11.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess Lavante would remember. Maybe Will Golston um Shack

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:15.880
<v Speaker 1>obviously will know what it's like. Uh you know, I

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:19.040
<v Speaker 1>think this is where you lean on your sports science people,

0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure they are doing things to prepare for this,

0:11:21.880 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>just like they would for unique circumstances anywhere we go. Um.

0:11:26.559 --> 0:11:29.080
<v Speaker 1>But to your point, if if there are issues with

0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:33.679
<v Speaker 1>fatigue that are strengthened by the high altitude in the

0:11:33.679 --> 0:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>thinner air, then yeah, depth becomes more important this weekend.

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>Where I think that might actually be more interesting to

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>note is on defense, because through the first two games

0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:47.280
<v Speaker 1>we've really relied on our main core a lot. I mean,

0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:49.800
<v Speaker 1>all of the guys that started have played a ton

0:11:49.840 --> 0:11:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of snaps, and so guys like Anthony Nelson or Mike

0:11:54.240 --> 0:12:00.080
<v Speaker 1>Edwards or Andrew Adams or Ryan Smith or Kevin a

0:12:00.120 --> 0:12:04.560
<v Speaker 1>Mentor have played zero or very few snaps. And that

0:12:04.559 --> 0:12:06.079
<v Speaker 1>could change this week. Maybe you have to rely on

0:12:06.120 --> 0:12:09.760
<v Speaker 1>your debth for a little bit more. Okay, and Turner asked,

0:12:09.760 --> 0:12:11.319
<v Speaker 1>do you think that we could make it to first

0:12:11.320 --> 0:12:19.160
<v Speaker 1>place in the division soon? We already are, but Saints

0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:22.840
<v Speaker 1>have the I mean they got a tiebreaker. You know

0:12:22.880 --> 0:12:25.920
<v Speaker 1>what apply tiebreakers right now? That's that's for playoffs, right

0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>If you say we've tied for first, yes, I could

0:12:29.400 --> 0:12:30.800
<v Speaker 1>we get there? Of course we could get there and

0:12:30.800 --> 0:12:33.319
<v Speaker 1>get there. This week we're playing at Denver and the

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.839
<v Speaker 1>Saints have the Packers. That's a tough draw. I mean

0:12:37.080 --> 0:12:40.000
<v Speaker 1>it's in New Orleans, but still the Packers offense has

0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.360
<v Speaker 1>been incredibly prolific. So sure it could happen this week.

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>That'd be cool. James asked, do you guys travel with

0:12:47.640 --> 0:12:51.800
<v Speaker 1>the team to away games and where do you watch from? Well,

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.680
<v Speaker 1>it was James, was it? James? The answer to that

0:12:54.760 --> 0:12:58.600
<v Speaker 1>question for twenty eight years and five seventy two games,

0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.839
<v Speaker 1>not all of them, that's all games, not road games,

0:13:01.000 --> 0:13:05.000
<v Speaker 1>was yes. But this year the streak is over. And

0:13:05.120 --> 0:13:07.360
<v Speaker 1>uh and Casey you obviously I'm speaking for you, but

0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:11.000
<v Speaker 1>you travel as well. Uh. We we were and generally

0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>are part of the traveling party. And uh, it just

0:13:14.840 --> 0:13:17.760
<v Speaker 1>this year because of the efforts to keep the game

0:13:17.800 --> 0:13:21.000
<v Speaker 1>going in in this pandemic and and to keep that

0:13:21.400 --> 0:13:24.840
<v Speaker 1>bubble as tight as possible. Um, most of us that

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:28.080
<v Speaker 1>usually travel that aren't players and coaches, are not traveling,

0:13:28.160 --> 0:13:31.720
<v Speaker 1>so it's unfortunate. I'm sure you know from a personal standpoint,

0:13:31.760 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>we would like to be traveling still and be there

0:13:33.760 --> 0:13:36.280
<v Speaker 1>in person. But that's hardly the worst thing that's happened

0:13:36.280 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>because of this, So you know, it just is what

0:13:38.400 --> 0:13:42.360
<v Speaker 1>it is, uh for me. I there, our radio broadcast

0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:44.920
<v Speaker 1>is not traveling either, and they have set up shop

0:13:45.000 --> 0:13:48.000
<v Speaker 1>and away games at Raymond same stadium in the control

0:13:48.040 --> 0:13:51.080
<v Speaker 1>booth that runs the scoreboard because they can get a

0:13:51.120 --> 0:13:53.240
<v Speaker 1>lot of extra feeds in there, the like an All

0:13:53.320 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>twenty two feed where it helps your broadcasters see what's

0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.360
<v Speaker 1>going on and see formations and so on, helps them

0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:01.960
<v Speaker 1>give the fans of better idea of what's going on. Uh.

0:14:02.000 --> 0:14:04.320
<v Speaker 1>And because they're up there, and because I do a

0:14:04.320 --> 0:14:07.160
<v Speaker 1>few things for the radio broadcasts and those feeds are nice.

0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:09.440
<v Speaker 1>I worked the first game up there, and I intend

0:14:09.440 --> 0:14:12.920
<v Speaker 1>to continue to do that until and unless we get

0:14:12.960 --> 0:14:15.920
<v Speaker 1>to start traveling again. Casey, do you do years from home? Yeah?

0:14:16.000 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>I I did it at home for the road game

0:14:18.000 --> 0:14:20.400
<v Speaker 1>because I'm preparing for my radio and TV shows that

0:14:20.400 --> 0:14:22.520
<v Speaker 1>are on Monday. So that actually is really helpful for

0:14:22.520 --> 0:14:24.640
<v Speaker 1>me in some ways to you know, beginning to just

0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>sit there with my laptop, taking notes, getting the script

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:30.000
<v Speaker 1>already to go, listening to the announcers, as compared to

0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:31.480
<v Speaker 1>normally when you're kind of in a press box and

0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.680
<v Speaker 1>things are a little hectic and um, you've got other

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.040
<v Speaker 1>stuff going on. You don't get to hear all the

0:14:35.080 --> 0:14:38.240
<v Speaker 1>commentary about the game and everything. So in some ways

0:14:38.280 --> 0:14:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it's been helpful, but it is definitely sad to not

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.880
<v Speaker 1>feel as much a part of the team and and

0:14:42.920 --> 0:14:46.320
<v Speaker 1>to know the sort of ins and outs of you know,

0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:48.040
<v Speaker 1>all the little things that you see on the sideline

0:14:48.040 --> 0:14:49.880
<v Speaker 1>before the game, and like there's a lot of insight

0:14:49.960 --> 0:14:51.920
<v Speaker 1>that I do feel like I miss in some ways.

0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:54.440
<v Speaker 1>But for me on just a preparation standpoint for my

0:14:54.480 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>next day makes it a lot easier. And you know,

0:14:56.920 --> 0:14:59.040
<v Speaker 1>not getting in at two and three in the morning,

0:14:58.600 --> 0:15:01.800
<v Speaker 1>for that's the over lining. Yes, actually a lot of

0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>what you said is actually true for here, not during

0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:07.240
<v Speaker 1>the games, but here at home, you know, here at

0:15:07.240 --> 0:15:11.160
<v Speaker 1>the at the facility. Um, I'm working at the facility.

0:15:11.240 --> 0:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>You come in sometimes, but we're not in contact with

0:15:14.280 --> 0:15:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the players or the coaches. So it's a lot different

0:15:16.760 --> 0:15:18.560
<v Speaker 1>this year, it is. It is very different, right, Well,

0:15:18.560 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for us on Buccaneers Insider Live

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.240
<v Speaker 1>presented by middle Light. Thanks to all of you guys

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:24.680
<v Speaker 1>for joining us, thanks to those amazing questions. We'll be

0:15:24.680 --> 0:15:26.800
<v Speaker 1>back here next Wednesday at ten a m. See then,
