WEBVTT - Free Agent Options at QB & Breaking Down Mock Drafts | Bucs Insider Live

0:00:07.160 --> 0:00:09.479
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Buccaneers Inside our Live presented by Miller like

0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:12.080
<v Speaker 1>Casey Phillips here with Scott Smith, and as always, this

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:14.280
<v Speaker 1>is where we get to your comments, questions, thoughts, all

0:00:14.320 --> 0:00:16.320
<v Speaker 1>of that. So if you're not already watching on Facebook,

0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.400
<v Speaker 1>head on over there and leave your questions in the

0:00:18.440 --> 0:00:22.200
<v Speaker 1>comments section as we have people chance to start submitting

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>some of their questions. I know we talked a little

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:25.799
<v Speaker 1>bit last week about John Lynch and the hopes for

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.520
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame, and I know I hate to

0:00:27.560 --> 0:00:30.000
<v Speaker 1>even start the show with this, but I just wanted it.

0:00:30.400 --> 0:00:32.120
<v Speaker 1>I know it was going so well. I just wanted

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:35.279
<v Speaker 1>to hear your thoughts on what it is that just

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.199
<v Speaker 1>seems to keep him from getting in every year, and

0:00:37.200 --> 0:00:39.440
<v Speaker 1>if maybe they're just wanting the real cool storyline of

0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>it being in Tampa next year, Well, you would think

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>him being at the super Bowl would have been a

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>good enough storyline. And yeah, that weekend didn't really work

0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.960
<v Speaker 1>out all that well for John Lynch, but I mean,

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're a finalist for the Hall of Fame and

0:00:51.080 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>you're in the super Bowl, you're doing well. I mean

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>I wish it would at least one of those that

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:56.920
<v Speaker 1>have worked out a little better for him. But I

0:00:56.960 --> 0:01:00.240
<v Speaker 1>don't know Casey at this point. I'm obviously by best.

0:01:00.960 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>I thought this was a good shot because, as I

0:01:05.120 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>suggested beforehand, I thought there was only one surefire first

0:01:08.440 --> 0:01:11.440
<v Speaker 1>ballot guy, and that was Troy Palamello. And indeed that

0:01:11.520 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 1>was the case. Uh Steve Atwater for the Broncos made

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:17.720
<v Speaker 1>ins I picked two safeties and four saved. Four or

0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:20.240
<v Speaker 1>five safeties have gotten in the last three or four years,

0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.880
<v Speaker 1>so that log jam and that deprivation at the position

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:26.600
<v Speaker 1>has sort of been cleared up a little bit. At

0:01:26.680 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>this point, I really don't have a good answer for you.

0:01:28.720 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think obviously think he's worthy. Um, I

0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:35.839
<v Speaker 1>don't know. I feel like he's getting that whole Well,

0:01:35.880 --> 0:01:38.840
<v Speaker 1>there's already two players from that incredible defense in the

0:01:38.840 --> 0:01:40.240
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame. How many of them do you want

0:01:40.280 --> 0:01:42.080
<v Speaker 1>us to put in the same thing. I think you

0:01:42.080 --> 0:01:44.520
<v Speaker 1>may have heard the note that John this was his

0:01:44.560 --> 0:01:47.160
<v Speaker 1>seventh consecutive year as a finalist, and there have been

0:01:47.160 --> 0:01:50.480
<v Speaker 1>fourteen other people who have had seven straight years as

0:01:50.480 --> 0:01:53.040
<v Speaker 1>a finalist, which obviously means they didn't get in the

0:01:53.040 --> 0:01:55.760
<v Speaker 1>first six, and thirteen of those fourteen are now in

0:01:55.800 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>the Hall of Fame. Uh. The only other one was

0:01:58.760 --> 0:02:01.520
<v Speaker 1>an offensive alignment for the offense, same Bob Kuchenberg. And

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.720
<v Speaker 1>in his case, there were two other linemen from that

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>great nineteen seventies Dolphins team that we're already in the

0:02:07.400 --> 0:02:09.720
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Fame, and it's considered probably the reason why

0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.480
<v Speaker 1>he didn't make it. And he almost feel bad for

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>him and for John because it's just a matter of timing.

0:02:14.960 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, if they're saying, well, we can't have more

0:02:16.639 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 1>than two, well, if John Lynch had been eligibly before

0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:22.880
<v Speaker 1>Derek Brooks and Warren Sapped were in, then that argument

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.520
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be held against him, and maybe he'd be in.

0:02:25.760 --> 0:02:27.760
<v Speaker 1>So I don't know what to do about it, to

0:02:27.800 --> 0:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>be honest with it. And next year seems like it

0:02:29.240 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>will be there's some big names along. That's very unfortunate. Um,

0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.280
<v Speaker 1>all right, we have a question from Rich. He said,

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.919
<v Speaker 1>other than jamis, do you think either of our other

0:02:38.000 --> 0:02:40.320
<v Speaker 1>quarterbacks on the roster could win with the offense that

0:02:40.360 --> 0:02:44.680
<v Speaker 1>we have. There's just no way to know. Because Ryan

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:47.280
<v Speaker 1>Griffin's from what four passes in his career. He looks

0:02:47.320 --> 0:02:49.400
<v Speaker 1>good in the preseason and in training camp and on

0:02:49.440 --> 0:02:53.799
<v Speaker 1>the practice field every year, so um possibly. And then

0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Blaine Gabbert. We didn't get to see him hardly at

0:02:55.840 --> 0:02:57.920
<v Speaker 1>all because he heard his shoulder pretty early in training

0:02:57.960 --> 0:03:00.760
<v Speaker 1>camp and and that was that. Uh. You know, Blaine

0:03:00.760 --> 0:03:05.440
<v Speaker 1>Gabbert has won some games for Bruce Arians in Arizona. Uh,

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.400
<v Speaker 1>so there's reason to believe he could do so with

0:03:08.400 --> 0:03:10.519
<v Speaker 1>this talented offense. But let's also point out that he's

0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.799
<v Speaker 1>only on the roster technically right now. He's due to

0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:15.280
<v Speaker 1>become a free agent, so for that to even be

0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>an issue, he'd have to be resigned. Okay, and Frederick asked,

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>do you think we'll be getting a new running back?

0:03:21.320 --> 0:03:23.720
<v Speaker 1>I would think absolutely we're getting at least one, if

0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:27.680
<v Speaker 1>not more, new running backs. Peyton barber Is is a

0:03:27.800 --> 0:03:30.440
<v Speaker 1>unrestricted free agent in March, so if you want to

0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.959
<v Speaker 1>bring him back, that involves another contract and so there's

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.680
<v Speaker 1>no guarantee there. And beyond that, really all you have

0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:39.080
<v Speaker 1>is Ronald Jones, who did have a good year, and

0:03:39.240 --> 0:03:41.880
<v Speaker 1>then Daria Goomba Wally and t J. Logan who's basically

0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:44.880
<v Speaker 1>a return guy. So that you're gonna have, you're gonna

0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:47.040
<v Speaker 1>take five or six or seven running backs to training

0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>camp and it just makes sense to add something there,

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:51.760
<v Speaker 1>maybe even you know, a second day draft pick or

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>something like that. So I would be certain that there'll

0:03:53.680 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>be at least one new running back in that group.

0:03:55.760 --> 0:03:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I know that we always, you know, get asked about

0:03:57.840 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>Jamis every week now and again we don't have any

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>new information, but we have had a few people ask

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>about some of the other quarterbacks that are available as

0:04:04.960 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>free agents this year, and we've had a lot of

0:04:07.880 --> 0:04:09.800
<v Speaker 1>a lot of questions about that, and yeah, a lot

0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:12.280
<v Speaker 1>of interesting names out there. So UM figured out to

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:13.600
<v Speaker 1>kind of combined a few of the things that people

0:04:13.600 --> 0:04:15.920
<v Speaker 1>are asking and just ask your thoughts on of those

0:04:15.920 --> 0:04:17.760
<v Speaker 1>guys if we were to bring one in, who might

0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:20.360
<v Speaker 1>potentially fit the Bucks the best or have the best

0:04:20.360 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>shot there. Yea, So the names are gigantic. I mean,

0:04:23.040 --> 0:04:26.559
<v Speaker 1>there's never probably been a potential list of free agents

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>like this, and that doesn't mean it's going to be

0:04:28.640 --> 0:04:30.840
<v Speaker 1>there when we get to March eighteenth. But think about

0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.159
<v Speaker 1>the fact that Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Philip Rivers, they're

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.960
<v Speaker 1>all potentially on the market. The only one that I

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:38.680
<v Speaker 1>think is certain that will be on the market out

0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.640
<v Speaker 1>of that is Philip Rivers because the Chargers have made

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:43.040
<v Speaker 1>it clear that they're moving on, and so I think

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>he's probably the most likely one. And there's some parallels

0:04:45.880 --> 0:04:48.760
<v Speaker 1>there between. Uh. You know, if you look at what

0:04:49.040 --> 0:04:52.359
<v Speaker 1>Bruce arians did in Arizona when he got there and

0:04:52.400 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>they brought they didn't really have a quarterback, and they

0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:57.480
<v Speaker 1>brought in Carson Palmer. You know, he was the longtime

0:04:57.960 --> 0:05:00.200
<v Speaker 1>good starter for Cincinnati and it kind of ended had

0:05:00.200 --> 0:05:03.720
<v Speaker 1>Cincinnati and he went on to Oakland. Nothing great happened there,

0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 1>and then he came to Arizona. And I don't think

0:05:06.600 --> 0:05:09.040
<v Speaker 1>when Carson Palmer went to Arizona everybody thought, oh my god,

0:05:09.080 --> 0:05:11.200
<v Speaker 1>they just got the answer and this is gonna be great.

0:05:11.200 --> 0:05:14.120
<v Speaker 1>But he was great, And Philip Rivers has been great

0:05:14.160 --> 0:05:17.240
<v Speaker 1>for a very very long time. Last year wasn't his

0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:20.120
<v Speaker 1>best year, and of course, like everybody on this list,

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>he's getting up there in years, but I think there's

0:05:22.920 --> 0:05:25.640
<v Speaker 1>still something left in the tank there. So I would

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:29.799
<v Speaker 1>think he seems like the most likely one. Okay, Um,

0:05:29.880 --> 0:05:33.039
<v Speaker 1>We've had again a few questions about the the front seven,

0:05:33.160 --> 0:05:35.680
<v Speaker 1>especially the defensive line part of it. If we have

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>so many free agents in that area. As we talked

0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.200
<v Speaker 1>about the free agent quarterbacks that are out there that, um,

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>the amount of free agents we have on the defensive

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.560
<v Speaker 1>side is is really incredible, And um, what would you

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 1>say are the odds? I guess we had a few

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>different people ask about the odds of being able to

0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.720
<v Speaker 1>keep the defensive line intack the way that it is,

0:05:51.800 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 1>which is what Bruce Arian said he wanted to do

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:56.880
<v Speaker 1>at that final press conference of two thousand nineteen. And

0:05:56.920 --> 0:05:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it's understandable that he would because the front seven of

0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.279
<v Speaker 1>that defense played really well all throughout the year. You know,

0:06:02.279 --> 0:06:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the secondary sort of was rough early and then good

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:06.839
<v Speaker 1>at the end, and then when that all came together,

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:09.679
<v Speaker 1>the defense was pretty good. But the front seven, particularly

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:12.520
<v Speaker 1>against the run and also getting forty seven sacks, which

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.320
<v Speaker 1>is the second most that the Bucks have ever had

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>in the season, was good. So of course he wants

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>to keep it together. It's just not necessarily gonna be easy.

0:06:19.120 --> 0:06:21.040
<v Speaker 1>The odds of keeping it all together, I would think

0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.360
<v Speaker 1>are very low. I I would think it would be

0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>very very difficult to resign Shack, Barrett Jpp and Dominican

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>Sue Karl nassav even the some of the reserves like

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:34.839
<v Speaker 1>bo Allen, bo Allen and Rakie, Nuniez, Rochez, Nacho, We'll

0:06:34.839 --> 0:06:37.599
<v Speaker 1>just say Nacho and uh Sam Macho. Even you know,

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.400
<v Speaker 1>we're going down the list of the reserves, but that's

0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:43.039
<v Speaker 1>like seven guys. It just doesn't seem realistic to me

0:06:43.080 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>that we'll be able to keep them all together. But

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:47.880
<v Speaker 1>if you take it more just an overall look at it,

0:06:48.320 --> 0:06:51.080
<v Speaker 1>I think it's realistic to keep it mostly intact, and

0:06:51.320 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 1>that would do it. I mean, you know, some of

0:06:52.839 --> 0:06:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the pieces have to change from year to year, and

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>maybe if you lose one of those guys, maybe second

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.520
<v Speaker 1>year player Anthony Nelson gets a bigger role and you

0:06:59.560 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 1>fill the app that way. Obviously, that's the priority. As

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:06.159
<v Speaker 1>Bruce arians also said in that last press conference, he

0:07:06.240 --> 0:07:10.080
<v Speaker 1>he really listed especially Shack Barrett obviously, and JPP and

0:07:10.320 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>Dominan Su as like top three priorities. Okay, um Alec asked,

0:07:14.360 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>what's up with all these mock drafts have us taking

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.440
<v Speaker 1>a D lineman in the first round. Seems like an

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>O line or other position might be a better fit. No, Um,

0:07:22.480 --> 0:07:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't think that's strange at all. And and based

0:07:24.840 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>based on what I was just saying there, like let's

0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:29.640
<v Speaker 1>just say um and I don't want this to happen,

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.680
<v Speaker 1>But let's just say in Dominican C was playing elsewhere

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.120
<v Speaker 1>next year, Well, then you do, and bow Allen's also gone,

0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and then you do have an opening there. And Vita

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Villa really had a nice year, right, And he's just

0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:44.200
<v Speaker 1>that huge and nimble guy in the middle that clogs

0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:46.160
<v Speaker 1>up on the lanes and stops to run. But what

0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:49.440
<v Speaker 1>if you put next to him a defensive tackle of

0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:52.040
<v Speaker 1>the three technique type who really gets to the quarterback. Well,

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:54.400
<v Speaker 1>guys like Warren Sap. I mean, I'm not gonna pay

0:07:54.400 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>anybody to Warren Sap, He's a whole famer, but even

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Gerald McCoy is prime. You know, if you've got a

0:07:59.000 --> 0:08:02.880
<v Speaker 1>pass rushing defensive tackle, if you got a force pass

0:08:02.960 --> 0:08:05.080
<v Speaker 1>rushing force in the middle, and you've got Vita va

0:08:05.160 --> 0:08:07.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean, my goodness, that can be something special, right,

0:08:07.920 --> 0:08:10.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't think like I think the one that I've

0:08:10.200 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>seen mocktus a lot is South Carolina's Javon kin Law.

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a real nice idea. Now that being said,

0:08:16.480 --> 0:08:19.360
<v Speaker 1>as that question said, I also, I think I've said

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>several times and very high on the idea of us

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:23.760
<v Speaker 1>using that pick on an offensive Lenman. So, and that

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>relates to the next question we had. J asked, what

0:08:25.560 --> 0:08:28.960
<v Speaker 1>do you think is the biggest needs in the draft. Well,

0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:32.080
<v Speaker 1>there's We're gonna talk about this a little bit later

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:36.240
<v Speaker 1>in another segment, but um, that's gonna be dependent quite

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.240
<v Speaker 1>a bit on what happens in free agency. Right now,

0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>I would say offensive line, offensive tackle in particular, but um,

0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>if things don't go the way we want them to

0:08:46.760 --> 0:08:49.920
<v Speaker 1>in free agency, might be outside linebacker or defensive tackle

0:08:50.120 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>or even quarterback. So right now I'd say offensive tackle,

0:08:53.320 --> 0:08:55.680
<v Speaker 1>but that could change drastically. All right, Well, that's gonna

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:57.839
<v Speaker 1>do it for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live,

0:08:57.880 --> 0:08:59.840
<v Speaker 1>presented by Miller Lte. Thanks so much for joining us
