WEBVTT - Breaking Down the 53-Man Roster & Dissecting the Depth Chart | Bucs Insider Live

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.240
<v Speaker 1>Welcome to Buccaneers Insideer Live presented by Miller like Casey

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:13.520
<v Speaker 1>Phillips and Scott Smith here and man, we haven't been

0:00:13.520 --> 0:00:15.000
<v Speaker 1>doing this for a while. We haven't done it since

0:00:15.040 --> 0:00:17.160
<v Speaker 1>training camp and that was mainly talking about what was

0:00:17.200 --> 0:00:19.040
<v Speaker 1>going on there camp. Get it just a chance to

0:00:19.320 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 1>answer everybody's questions. We've had all the roster cuts, we

0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>know who the bucks are now, so plenty to get

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to today. And again, if you're not already watching on Facebook,

0:00:25.840 --> 0:00:27.000
<v Speaker 1>make sure you hit over to there, and if you

0:00:27.000 --> 0:00:29.440
<v Speaker 1>have any questions, thoughts, comments, all of that, leave that

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>for us in the comments section underneath our live video

0:00:32.000 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>and as we give people a chance to do that. Um,

0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.879
<v Speaker 1>I just want to hear your initial thoughts on now

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 1>you've seen the fifty three man and who's on the

0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:39.840
<v Speaker 1>practice squad and what are some of the biggest things

0:00:39.880 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>that stood out to you of either who did make

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:43.559
<v Speaker 1>it or who didn't make it. I like the way

0:00:43.600 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>you said we know who the bucks are now, because

0:00:45.760 --> 0:00:48.000
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of what Bruce Aaron said he told the

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.279
<v Speaker 1>team in his first meeting with them after they came back.

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Because it was a long weekend while those cuts and

0:00:52.800 --> 0:00:55.520
<v Speaker 1>roster tweaks were being made, and he told them we

0:00:55.520 --> 0:00:57.880
<v Speaker 1>weren't the Bucks until now now we're the Bucks, right.

0:00:58.640 --> 0:01:00.000
<v Speaker 1>That's kind of that was the message to the team

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.480
<v Speaker 1>as well. There really wasn't a ton surprising. I don't

0:01:02.520 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>think did you think so? I know we were. We

0:01:05.000 --> 0:01:07.280
<v Speaker 1>were wondering if Tanner Hudson had done enough to make

0:01:07.319 --> 0:01:09.000
<v Speaker 1>the team. I thought that they would keep a fourth

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.200
<v Speaker 1>tied in, and they did. I think they did that

0:01:11.280 --> 0:01:13.920
<v Speaker 1>initially by going a little light on running back with

0:01:14.000 --> 0:01:15.880
<v Speaker 1>only three of them. But now we're back to four

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:19.000
<v Speaker 1>because we picked up uh t J Logan as a

0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 1>waiver claim. That was a guy that coach Areans really

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:22.679
<v Speaker 1>had his eye on. He was kind of hoping he'd

0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.680
<v Speaker 1>get cut no offense TJ in Arizona, but it all

0:01:25.680 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 1>worked out for everybody. Obviously. Uh didn't really think he

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>would because he had a nice preseason over there. It's

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:32.600
<v Speaker 1>a guy that he really wanted to get in here,

0:01:32.640 --> 0:01:35.160
<v Speaker 1>specifically to get the kickoff return job. And I'm kind

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.440
<v Speaker 1>of excited about that because we haven't had much in

0:01:37.480 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 1>the kickoff return game. Actually, we've been pretty much last

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:43.040
<v Speaker 1>in the league the last few years at kickoff return,

0:01:43.120 --> 0:01:45.160
<v Speaker 1>So any spark in that part of the game would

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.440
<v Speaker 1>be useful and and maybe as time goes on, t

0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.680
<v Speaker 1>J can help us more and things like punt returns

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and being a gunner run and maybe even fitting into

0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:54.520
<v Speaker 1>the offense a little bit, right, I know, Noah Spence

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:56.680
<v Speaker 1>was one that seemed to kind of catch some people's

0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.840
<v Speaker 1>eye that he did not make the team, So overall

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.200
<v Speaker 1>thoughts on that and and let's just go through what

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.040
<v Speaker 1>our defensive line will look like. That was one of

0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>the big questions we had all preseason, was what that

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:06.560
<v Speaker 1>was going to look like in this new three four.

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:08.640
<v Speaker 1>So looking at who made the team and who didn't,

0:02:08.680 --> 0:02:10.680
<v Speaker 1>what did we learn about the defense? I can't go

0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>so far as to say that I would have predicted

0:02:12.760 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 1>that Noah Spence would be waived, But in retrospect, it's

0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>not terribly surprising when you look at the fact that

0:02:18.160 --> 0:02:20.320
<v Speaker 1>he played every snap on defense in the third game.

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:22.640
<v Speaker 1>He played pretty much the whole first half of the

0:02:22.919 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 1>of the fourth game, which is really rare for a

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:26.880
<v Speaker 1>guy who's listed as a starter. He was basically the

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>only starter who didn't who played in that game, and

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:32.800
<v Speaker 1>they clearly just they needed to see. They had a

0:02:32.840 --> 0:02:35.440
<v Speaker 1>feeling that this wasn't working out, but they wanted to

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.839
<v Speaker 1>give him one last extended opportunity, and coach Arean said

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:42.360
<v Speaker 1>that he said nothing but positive things about Noah Spence's approach.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:44.799
<v Speaker 1>How hard he worked, He said, nobody worked harder. It's

0:02:44.840 --> 0:02:48.200
<v Speaker 1>just a simple fact of the production per snap was

0:02:48.280 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>not as good as the guys they kept. Just wasn't

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:54.040
<v Speaker 1>producing the same way that Patrick O'Connor, who was subsequently

0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:56.320
<v Speaker 1>then waved and signed back to the practice squad and

0:02:56.400 --> 0:02:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Demone Harrison, guys like that. So you know, it eventually

0:02:59.320 --> 0:03:01.160
<v Speaker 1>comes down to product, and you know, hopefully I saw

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I got a trout in Buffalo, hopefully gets another shot somewhere.

0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:07.600
<v Speaker 1>But it wasn't terribly surprising. I guess in the long run,

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you wish that a second round, high second round draft

0:03:10.000 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 1>pick would be on your team longer than he was,

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.800
<v Speaker 1>So that didn't really work out. Now you're talking about

0:03:13.800 --> 0:03:16.839
<v Speaker 1>the defensive front. Obviously no was in that group called

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:19.639
<v Speaker 1>outside linebackers, but I know what you mean. They land

0:03:19.680 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 1>up on the line for the most part. It's a

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:25.880
<v Speaker 1>little I think they only kept five right now. I

0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>could see this evolving over time, but they only kept

0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:32.120
<v Speaker 1>five down Linemen and Dominckensue and Vita van all that.

0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 1>That seems a little light to me. I would have

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.120
<v Speaker 1>expected six. But I think that's probably good news regarding

0:03:37.200 --> 0:03:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Vita vias health. He wasn't practiced yesterday, and I think

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>they would have gone a little deeper on that line

0:03:42.520 --> 0:03:43.760
<v Speaker 1>if they thought he was gonna be out for any

0:03:43.760 --> 0:03:46.040
<v Speaker 1>extended time. And we did have a question from Robbie

0:03:46.040 --> 0:03:48.720
<v Speaker 1>who asked, was a Vita limited in practice at all? Well,

0:03:48.760 --> 0:03:50.720
<v Speaker 1>we didn't get a practice report because that was a

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.560
<v Speaker 1>bonus practice day. I mean an injury report. We'll get

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>our first injury report today and that's how they do it.

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.920
<v Speaker 1>On Wednesday and Thursday they say full practice limited or

0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.640
<v Speaker 1>no practice at all. Um, you know, I can't really

0:04:01.720 --> 0:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>report on anything beyond what the media is allowed to see,

0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.480
<v Speaker 1>which is the first twenty minutes or so, and individuals.

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>During individuals, he was doing everything that everybody else is doing.

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Whether or not he was limited in the remainder of

0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:15.280
<v Speaker 1>practice isn't really open to reporting right now because that

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.520
<v Speaker 1>part's closed. But we'll have a better answer for that

0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.080
<v Speaker 1>at the end of practice today when we get an

0:04:19.080 --> 0:04:21.920
<v Speaker 1>injury report. Okay, Eric said, I know you always hate

0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>these questions about asking about our record. But Eric said,

0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 1>is it wishful thinking that the Bucks could finish eleven

0:04:27.040 --> 0:04:32.040
<v Speaker 1>and five? Well, it's yeah, I mean I think it

0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:36.119
<v Speaker 1>by definition it's probably wishful thinking, but not outrageous wishful thinking.

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>I think it. What it's going to come down to

0:04:38.279 --> 0:04:42.560
<v Speaker 1>is is this defense fixed the defense? The results on

0:04:42.680 --> 0:04:44.839
<v Speaker 1>defense last couple of years have been very, very bad.

0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:47.480
<v Speaker 1>Let's be honest about it, right. I think last year,

0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:49.960
<v Speaker 1>had the Buccaneers had even the middle of the road defense,

0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.520
<v Speaker 1>they probably wouldn't won eight games instead of five. I

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 1>think we want you know you you lost a number

0:04:54.760 --> 0:04:57.839
<v Speaker 1>of games by three points. Your average about twenty five

0:04:57.880 --> 0:04:59.720
<v Speaker 1>points a game that you should win most of your

0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.760
<v Speaker 1>games if you're averaging points a game. So if you

0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:07.160
<v Speaker 1>get that defense improved, even just league average, I think

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you're looking at least five. Because the offenses, I don't

0:05:10.080 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>see how it's any worse than it was before. It's

0:05:12.360 --> 0:05:14.960
<v Speaker 1>pretty much intact basically, and I think Bruce is a

0:05:15.000 --> 0:05:18.000
<v Speaker 1>good offensive mine and Byron Leftwich, so the offense should

0:05:18.000 --> 0:05:21.800
<v Speaker 1>be fine. Now. If for some reason the defense doesn't improve,

0:05:21.880 --> 0:05:23.960
<v Speaker 1>then obviously you can see where you get the same results.

0:05:24.040 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>If it's better than even I expect, then maybe you

0:05:27.000 --> 0:05:28.839
<v Speaker 1>can get to double digit victories. I think it's all

0:05:28.920 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna all hinge on that. It's a little hard to

0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 1>predict at the moment. But like I said, I think

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:37.320
<v Speaker 1>it's not outrageous, but yes, a little bit of wishful thinking, right, Um,

0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we had someone asked who technically took Noah Spence's spot,

0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:43.039
<v Speaker 1>would it be Shack Barrett? No. I think Shack Barrett

0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.479
<v Speaker 1>was gonna make the team regardless, and you were gonna

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>have a rotation among the outside linebackers anyway, so I

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:52.479
<v Speaker 1>think it would be more like Demone Harris that took

0:05:52.480 --> 0:05:56.239
<v Speaker 1>a spot. Um Scott asked, should we have kept Spencer

0:05:56.279 --> 0:06:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Schnell over Scottie Miller? Well, no, and I don't think so.

0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:05.119
<v Speaker 1>And if they had really really thought that Spencer Schnell

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.480
<v Speaker 1>was something they really didn't want to lose, I'm sure

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>they would have. Had they would try to sign into

0:06:10.040 --> 0:06:12.160
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad, and that didn't happen. They signed Emmanuel

0:06:12.200 --> 0:06:15.400
<v Speaker 1>Hall instead. Listen, I'm not saying anything negative about Spencer Snell,

0:06:15.520 --> 0:06:18.360
<v Speaker 1>but he had one really good quarter in the first game,

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.479
<v Speaker 1>and and that guy people really excited for good reason,

0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and good for him and everybody that was excited for him.

0:06:24.240 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>But um, I don't think that that meant he was

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:31.040
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden a better prospect than Scotty Miller. Okay, Um,

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.640
<v Speaker 1>we had a few different questions about the safeties, and

0:06:33.760 --> 0:06:37.839
<v Speaker 1>especially now that Justin Evans is back, who the starters

0:06:37.839 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>will be and how that safety rotation could look. That's

0:06:40.320 --> 0:06:43.160
<v Speaker 1>going to depend a lot on injuries and how those

0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.080
<v Speaker 1>guys are coming back. Mike Edwards is you know, he

0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.720
<v Speaker 1>hasn't played in about three weeks. Is he ready to go?

0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.000
<v Speaker 1>Because before he got his minor injury, he was clearly

0:06:53.560 --> 0:06:55.839
<v Speaker 1>locking down that starting spot, and Jordan White had has

0:06:55.839 --> 0:06:57.920
<v Speaker 1>played very well. So I would suspect that those two

0:06:57.960 --> 0:07:01.000
<v Speaker 1>would be the starting safeties to begin the season at

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 1>the very least if health is not an issue. But

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:05.880
<v Speaker 1>then you also have Justin Evans. He just came back

0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:07.720
<v Speaker 1>and he didn't really get a chance to play in

0:07:07.760 --> 0:07:10.440
<v Speaker 1>any of the games. He was going to play in

0:07:10.480 --> 0:07:12.800
<v Speaker 1>the final game, and then they got there in Dallas

0:07:12.880 --> 0:07:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and he I guess he had a little bit of

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.280
<v Speaker 1>irritation and Achilles. That's what coach Aaron said after the game.

0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So they decided to hold him out, So is he

0:07:19.760 --> 0:07:22.640
<v Speaker 1>ready to go? I totally would not be shocked if

0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>if for some reason, Mike Edwards isn't fully ready to go.

0:07:25.600 --> 0:07:29.160
<v Speaker 1>If actually Darren Stewart starts the first game opposite Jordan

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:33.000
<v Speaker 1>Whitehead or along with Jordan Whitehead, just because Stewart is

0:07:33.040 --> 0:07:35.200
<v Speaker 1>a ten year, tenth year veteran, he really knows what

0:07:35.200 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>he's doing, and I think they probably feel comfortable putting

0:07:37.560 --> 0:07:39.600
<v Speaker 1>him in there. So it really comes down to injuries.

0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's Edwards and Whitehead if there are

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:44.760
<v Speaker 1>no injuries involved. Okay, Stevens had asked about what our

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:48.960
<v Speaker 1>backup center situation looks like generally you have if you

0:07:48.960 --> 0:07:51.080
<v Speaker 1>look at our depth chart or backup center situation as

0:07:51.080 --> 0:07:53.520
<v Speaker 1>a blank. Yeah, that's and I think that's kind of

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.840
<v Speaker 1>their Their actual question said, why do we not have

0:07:55.920 --> 0:07:58.360
<v Speaker 1>a backup so you know you're you're just nine is

0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:01.239
<v Speaker 1>a normal number to keep of starters and four backups,

0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.240
<v Speaker 1>and you keep two of those guys in active usually

0:08:03.240 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>on game day to have them active and too inactive.

0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:08.680
<v Speaker 1>So all you're really doing by leaving that blank is

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:11.160
<v Speaker 1>not putting a name that you're you're only putting every

0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>name on their once. Some teams will make sure that

0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>they list a backup at every spot, and some teams

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:17.280
<v Speaker 1>will just put every name on their one. So if

0:08:17.280 --> 0:08:19.440
<v Speaker 1>there's an open spot, there's an open spot, right, So

0:08:19.880 --> 0:08:22.520
<v Speaker 1>the backup center is probably could be you know, I

0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:24.840
<v Speaker 1>would guess one of the main options would be Alex Cappa.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:28.720
<v Speaker 1>If Ryan Jensen can play, Alex Cappa slides over to

0:08:28.760 --> 0:08:31.280
<v Speaker 1>center and somebody like Earl Watford or Zach Bailey comes in.

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.000
<v Speaker 1>But every team cross trains three or four guys so

0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.240
<v Speaker 1>that they have options at center. You'll see that at

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.360
<v Speaker 1>the beginning of every practice. You've got I guess we

0:08:39.440 --> 0:08:42.200
<v Speaker 1>probably have four quarterback three do we have a quarterback

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.280
<v Speaker 1>on the Yeah, we got next fixt deral and practice squad,

0:08:44.320 --> 0:08:46.760
<v Speaker 1>So we've got four quarterbacks on the team right now,

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.920
<v Speaker 1>counting the practice squad. And at the beginning of practice,

0:08:49.160 --> 0:08:51.840
<v Speaker 1>they do that little drill where they have the quarterback

0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>center exchange off to the side, and you'll probably see

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>four different guys snap in the ball. It could be

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Earl Watford, he apparently can play all five positions. I

0:08:59.360 --> 0:09:01.640
<v Speaker 1>think Alice Apple would be one of them. Obviously, Ryan

0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.640
<v Speaker 1>Jensen I don't really know if the rookie Zack Bailey's

0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>a scener yet, but I suspect they would try to

0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:09.400
<v Speaker 1>train him in that. And in relation to the office

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>of line, Jacob asked, do you think we can expect

0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:14.720
<v Speaker 1>better offensive line play than last year? Yeah? I think so. Um,

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:17.040
<v Speaker 1>it's a different scheme and that could make a big difference.

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:21.120
<v Speaker 1>And uh, you know, I thought that the past protection

0:09:21.160 --> 0:09:23.439
<v Speaker 1>in the preseason wasn't great. It was pretty good in

0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the first couple of games, it was it was it

0:09:25.679 --> 0:09:27.520
<v Speaker 1>was very poor in the third game they really made

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.480
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of mistakes. But all of that, even the

0:09:30.480 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 1>good and the bad is a small sample size. I

0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:35.959
<v Speaker 1>think the team is very, very you know, solid with

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Diamond Smith and Ali Mark Patt and Ryan Jensen. Uh,

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.880
<v Speaker 1>Damar Dotson in the last three or four years, whenever

0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>he's been healthy or you know, it's healthy as a

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:47.880
<v Speaker 1>guy who's been in LEAs song can be. Uh, he's

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:50.360
<v Speaker 1>been pretty good. And so the question mark and the

0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.200
<v Speaker 1>really the weak spot last year was right guard and

0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>that's Alex Cappa now and they had high hopes for

0:09:56.440 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>him all offseason and he took that job and never

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>let it go. So I think a lot of it's

0:10:01.120 --> 0:10:03.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna hinge on Alex capp on how well he plays.

0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:05.640
<v Speaker 1>It's it's that whole only as strong as strong as

0:10:05.640 --> 0:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>your weakest link. Thing. Um. I think it will be improved,

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.920
<v Speaker 1>but that's definitely a unit that has to prove itself. Okay.

0:10:12.120 --> 0:10:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Kyle asked, was this a surprise that m J. Stewart

0:10:14.600 --> 0:10:17.160
<v Speaker 1>is listed ahead of Sean Murphy Bunting. No, and it

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.680
<v Speaker 1>was actually a little. The only reason it wasn't switched

0:10:19.679 --> 0:10:23.480
<v Speaker 1>earlier is because teams don't really put much attention into

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>their depth chart during the preseason when you got ninety

0:10:25.480 --> 0:10:27.560
<v Speaker 1>guys and there's all kinds of shuffling going on. But

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>when you make your first one for the regular season,

0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you try to make it reflect reality. And the reality

0:10:33.040 --> 0:10:35.600
<v Speaker 1>is m J. Stewart is you're starting nickelback right now,

0:10:35.920 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>and therefore he has a job where he's gonna be

0:10:38.880 --> 0:10:42.559
<v Speaker 1>on the field for fifty sixty percent of the snaps,

0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Whereas of the moment, I don't think Sean Murphy Bunting

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.480
<v Speaker 1>has that role. I'm sure you will at some point,

0:10:47.760 --> 0:10:50.280
<v Speaker 1>but it's Carlton Davison, Vernon Hargraves, and then MJ's your

0:10:50.320 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>third guy, so he should be listed ahead of him.

0:10:52.760 --> 0:10:55.040
<v Speaker 1>And uh, we'll close with this one. Eric said, how

0:10:55.080 --> 0:10:57.440
<v Speaker 1>do you think time will be split between Peyton and

0:10:57.520 --> 0:11:01.960
<v Speaker 1>ro Joe? Getting a lot closer to at this point,

0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:04.520
<v Speaker 1>I think, um, I would have not said that going

0:11:04.559 --> 0:11:06.440
<v Speaker 1>into the off season. I would have thought more like

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:09.599
<v Speaker 1>maybe seventy thirty and that was hopeful that Rojo was

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:11.400
<v Speaker 1>going to have a bigger role. But he just looks

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:13.920
<v Speaker 1>like a guy that if you needed him to be,

0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.800
<v Speaker 1>could be in every down back I'm talking about round

0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>Jones at this point. He's he ran well in between

0:11:17.840 --> 0:11:20.280
<v Speaker 1>the tackles during training camp, and he also has that

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:23.120
<v Speaker 1>explosiveness out on the edges that I think he's the

0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:26.120
<v Speaker 1>only guy that gives you that right now. So I think,

0:11:26.600 --> 0:11:29.559
<v Speaker 1>as Coach has said on several occasions, if somebody has

0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>a hot hand, they're going to stick with it. And

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.520
<v Speaker 1>so I could see Rojoe having a good game, being

0:11:34.520 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>in the middle of a good game, and and Coach

0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:38.240
<v Speaker 1>deciding just to keep feeding him, and then you're getting

0:11:38.240 --> 0:11:40.400
<v Speaker 1>a lot closer to right. All right, Well, thank you

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:42.439
