Speaker 1: Hey, they're Bucks fans. How's everybody doing. We are so
Speaker 1: excited for this edition of Buccaneers Inside Our Live, presented
Speaker 1: by Miller Lite. As you can already tell one thing
Speaker 1: is different, I don't know if you can tell. Scott
Speaker 1: is in the facility. He has made it into advent
Speaker 1: Health training Center. There are players in there, there are coaches,
Speaker 1: and their most importantly, Scott is in there. So things
Speaker 1: have changed since the last time we've had one of these,
Speaker 1: and I just feel like, in general, this is the
Speaker 1: most information answers certainty we've had about a lot of
Speaker 1: things in quite some time. So I'm very excited abou this.
Speaker 1: I feel like we finally are going to have some
Speaker 1: answers for these people's questions that we've been having to
Speaker 1: just say we don't know too. So again, if you
Speaker 1: have a question for us that we hopefully will have
Speaker 1: an answer to this time, please go ahead and put
Speaker 1: those in the comments section on Facebook if you're not
Speaker 1: already watched there, we're gonna get a chance to read
Speaker 1: some of those. So as we give people a chance
Speaker 1: to hop on there ask him a questions. I know
Speaker 1: there's a few different things that we can talk about.
Speaker 1: First of all, there were a couple of roster moves
Speaker 1: um that came out of the press conference with Bruce
Speaker 1: Arians And we'll get into everything he said in the
Speaker 1: press conference, but for now, why don't you take us
Speaker 1: through those roster moves and what they mean. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like you said, this is a couple of topics that
Speaker 1: people have asked us about repeatedly, and we always had
Speaker 1: to say, we probably have to wait until the players
Speaker 1: get back in the building to really have an answer,
Speaker 1: and that's what happened. So we've been asked a lot
Speaker 1: about Justin Evans, the safety, he's had foot problems since
Speaker 1: a season and a half ago. And then Kendall Beckwith,
Speaker 1: who hasn't actually played since his very good two seventeen
Speaker 1: rookie season because he heard his ankle in a car
Speaker 1: accident in the following off season. And now we know
Speaker 1: that the Buccaneers are placing Justin Evans on active pup
Speaker 1: too start camp, which, to be honest, isn't really a
Speaker 1: great sign. You would kind of hope he'd be ready
Speaker 1: to go by now, and with camp being so short,
Speaker 1: any time he misses makes it harder to figure out
Speaker 1: how he's gonna work into the mix um. You know,
Speaker 1: usually if a guy starts on active pup, if he's
Speaker 1: gonna end up on reserve pup or he comes off
Speaker 1: it at some point, but it usually takes a week
Speaker 1: or two and that that compromises our comprises most of
Speaker 1: camp at this point, so he kind of it kind
Speaker 1: of puts a big question mark over the Justin Evans situation.
Speaker 1: Hopefully he'll be able to make it back. Who it's
Speaker 1: been a long long haul for him. Uh, same thing
Speaker 1: really with Kendall Beckwith who was waived with an n
Speaker 1: f I non football injury that is designation. He's been
Speaker 1: for the last two years, been on reserve and if
Speaker 1: I trying to make it back from that ankle injury,
Speaker 1: but it just hasn't happened, so that actually reduces that
Speaker 1: actually reduces the roster eighty six, so it opens up
Speaker 1: a roster physician to be clear, Justin Evans on an
Speaker 1: active pup list is still counts against the roster. The
Speaker 1: point of putting them on that is that it makes
Speaker 1: it possible for you to later do reserve pup if
Speaker 1: you have to. Right, Yeah, that's and it's so sad
Speaker 1: for both of them that they've they've had to go
Speaker 1: through this. They both have been such promising players, especially
Speaker 1: Kendall Now. I mean that that first year, he just
Speaker 1: looks so incredible. But yeah, I feel like asked our
Speaker 1: questions about Justin and Kendall have been some of the
Speaker 1: most common that we've gotten on this show. So at
Speaker 1: least there is a little bit of clarity for now,
Speaker 1: especially with Kendall, But with Justin now, we're just gonna
Speaker 1: hope that he gets a chance. Um And yeah, you
Speaker 1: know that came out of the press conference with Bruce
Speaker 1: arians So what were some of the other things that
Speaker 1: you felt like you learned from him and that we're
Speaker 1: talked about there. Well, he seems Bruce seems confident that
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a sixteen game season, but he also
Speaker 1: had had to point out that for that to happen,
Speaker 1: it's going to take a lot of discipline. For example,
Speaker 1: he said, for him, he's basically only going to be
Speaker 1: in two places for the entire camp in season, either
Speaker 1: at home or here in the office, and that's it.
Speaker 1: He's not gonna go out to any restaurants anything. And
Speaker 1: really that's what's gonna take is is everybody buying in
Speaker 1: and doing everything to protect themselves when they're way from
Speaker 1: this building, because, as Bruce said, it's not gonna be
Speaker 1: a problem in the building, because you can't come in
Speaker 1: this building until you've been test and your negative Believe me,
Speaker 1: I know from experience three times already, so and and
Speaker 1: other people have had to do it more. So there's
Speaker 1: not gonna be a problem with people contracting it here.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a problem with somebody potentially getting the
Speaker 1: virus outside the building, and then if they had came
Speaker 1: in contact with other people, then then you start to
Speaker 1: have a problem, you see with the Miami Marlins. So
Speaker 1: it's gonna take a lot of discipline, but he does
Speaker 1: think it's very very possible any think it's going to happen,
Speaker 1: So that's very encouraging. Obviously. The other side of this
Speaker 1: is you're going to be playing regular season football games
Speaker 1: after about two or three weeks of practice, which is
Speaker 1: just mind boggling to think the team can get ready
Speaker 1: that quickly. But everybody's in the same boat, is what
Speaker 1: coaches will always say, Right, That's that's very true, and
Speaker 1: I keep hearing that of how everybody's in the same boat.
Speaker 1: But at the same time, it's not the case because
Speaker 1: not every team has a new quarterback, not every ting,
Speaker 1: you know, so it is interesting. But I mean, we
Speaker 1: do at least have the consistency of a coaching staff,
Speaker 1: so it's like we we sort of are in a
Speaker 1: better position than some other teams, especially maybe teams that
Speaker 1: have a new quarterback, but it's a rookie, you know. Least,
Speaker 1: if you're going to have a new quarterback, one that's
Speaker 1: been doing it pretty well for twenty years, feels like
Speaker 1: a good option. But it is sort of interesting that, yes,
Speaker 1: everyone's under the same protocol, but I don't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna affect every team the same way. So it will
Speaker 1: be interesting to see if you can start to tell,
Speaker 1: you know, who was hardest hit by these short offseasons. Um.
Speaker 1: We had a question from Chris Washington asked, who do
Speaker 1: you think will be the feature back this year? Well,
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a committee thing. Um, you
Speaker 1: just look at what Bruce has said several times that
Speaker 1: that's the way most teams do it now. Not too
Speaker 1: many teams have just that one bell weather back like
Speaker 1: Zigal Elliott that's going to carry every time, or Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: Most teams are doing it with multiple backs, and I
Speaker 1: think that's what Bruce wants to do. And even if
Speaker 1: you look at last year, Ronald Jones emerged, took the
Speaker 1: starting job away from Peyton Barber. But I was just
Speaker 1: looking at their for answering a similar question for a
Speaker 1: mail bag. I was just looking at their their carries
Speaker 1: game by game, and even after Ronald Jones took over
Speaker 1: the starting job from Peyton, there were still four or
Speaker 1: five games where they basically had the act the same
Speaker 1: number of carries. Now, if Keshawn Von again, the rookies
Speaker 1: are gonna have a harder time acclimating to the NFL
Speaker 1: in such a short period. But running back is a
Speaker 1: position at which you can you generally can acclimate to
Speaker 1: the NFL better than any other position. You see. Rookies
Speaker 1: make instant effects every single year. Just look back at
Speaker 1: Doug Martin, Callick Williams work done, and it's happened multiple
Speaker 1: times in Bucks history. There is the complication that Keshan
Speaker 1: Von started camp on the COVID nineteen reserve list. Uh that,
Speaker 1: by the way, we can't say, and we don't know
Speaker 1: because we can't be told, whether that means he has
Speaker 1: contracted it or has been in close contact with someone
Speaker 1: who did. That list is for both types and you're
Speaker 1: not allowed to say what it is, so we don't
Speaker 1: know beyond that. But he is on that list, which
Speaker 1: means there's a certain period of time. Hopefully by time
Speaker 1: practices beginning, he'll be ready to go. So my point being,
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty confident that keishaw Von will be
Speaker 1: ready to contribute alongside Ronald Jones when the season begins.
Speaker 1: So I don't know if we're really gonna have a
Speaker 1: feature back if I have to choose with Ronald Jones,
Speaker 1: but I think it's gonna be more of a mix. Okay,
Speaker 1: and I've love this. I've seen we have people watching
Speaker 1: from both Rio and Sal Paulo, Brazil and Pero Rico.
Speaker 1: We've got a very widespread audience this morning. Everybody is
Speaker 1: excited about the start of training camp and speaking of that,
Speaker 1: we had Sean asked, are we going to be able
Speaker 1: to see video footage from training camp since fans won't
Speaker 1: be able to attend um. Yes, and Scott and I
Speaker 1: will have a live show that we are planning to
Speaker 1: do from the padded practices because we know those are
Speaker 1: the ones that fans did to enjoy watching. The most
Speaker 1: happens there most closely resembles football as some of the walkthroughs.
Speaker 1: And yes we will um have some people that are
Speaker 1: able to take footage that we will be able to
Speaker 1: be out there. Will just you know, everyone's kind of
Speaker 1: at different tier levels of how far away they're going
Speaker 1: to have to be. But yes, we will have video
Speaker 1: for you guys from training camp, which is going to
Speaker 1: be really exciting. And uh, Scott, I wanted to hear
Speaker 1: you know what we've sort of found out about training
Speaker 1: camp overall now since the last UM time we've done
Speaker 1: one of these shows of a you know, what players
Speaker 1: have had to do maybe to be in the building,
Speaker 1: and then what we know about the schedule itself. You know,
Speaker 1: we've been one during how will this compared to normal
Speaker 1: training camps of how quickly they get into practice, how
Speaker 1: much is strength and conditioning? So, um, what have we
Speaker 1: found out now about what the actual schedule is gonna
Speaker 1: look like for the next few weeks for the guys. Well,
Speaker 1: it's interesting because the dates of the beginning dates stayed
Speaker 1: the same. The quarterback, well, we did move the rookies
Speaker 1: from the twenty one to three, but the quarterbacks were
Speaker 1: supposed to report on the three, all the veterans were
Speaker 1: supposed supposed to report yesterday on those dates remained intact.
Speaker 1: But it's not really where you would have been starting.
Speaker 1: You would have been coming in on the twenty eight
Speaker 1: and practicing by the twenty night, not in pads. You
Speaker 1: would have had a couple of days where you can't
Speaker 1: do pads or contact. But now that beginning part. First
Speaker 1: of all, they have to do the COVID testing and
Speaker 1: they have to do by Lead Protocol, two of them
Speaker 1: seventy two hours apart, both of them negative before they
Speaker 1: can come into building. So some of the rookies should
Speaker 1: be able to be in the building at this point,
Speaker 1: and then the veterans are just starting to get their tests.
Speaker 1: So the first time you're gonna see veterans in the
Speaker 1: building is probably we're gonna be August first. After that
Speaker 1: there's gonna be some amount of strength and conditioning where
Speaker 1: they're not on the field except to run or whatever.
Speaker 1: They're not doing practices, So I don't think you're gonna
Speaker 1: see any training camp practices that you're used to seeing
Speaker 1: until the middle of August, and I don't think that
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers have at least any specific dates yet, so
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do that, but I would imagine middle
Speaker 1: of August is when they will start, and then a
Speaker 1: couple of days after that they'll be over. Pats and
Speaker 1: Paul asked, who do you think will have the best
Speaker 1: rookie season of the guys we drafted? Well, you know,
Speaker 1: the the guy that that obviously you needed the most
Speaker 1: because it took him in the first round, was Tristan Works.
Speaker 1: Hopefully you'll step right in. But rookie, even really talented
Speaker 1: rookie offensive tackles um sometimes have a hard time getting
Speaker 1: completely up to being stud left tackles or right tackles
Speaker 1: right from the beginning. I would expect Tristan be a
Speaker 1: very good right tackle right from the start. I think
Speaker 1: he'll probably in that job, even though Bruce arians said
Speaker 1: it's not certain, but it would be asking a lot
Speaker 1: for him to be you know, Joe Thomas level. I'll
Speaker 1: tackle right off of that. It just doesn't often happen
Speaker 1: without its planet. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he's
Speaker 1: an absolute star from the very beginning. But it's a
Speaker 1: tough thing to predict. Uh, you know, Keshan Vaughn, Tyler Johnson.
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fighting for snaps and jobs. But I
Speaker 1: think the guy that's probably in position to really make
Speaker 1: an impact right away that you'll notice and be excited
Speaker 1: about is probably hand Kwan Winfield. I think he's got
Speaker 1: a really good shot at winning one of those two
Speaker 1: starting jobs, even though it's a very crowded battle, and
Speaker 1: he's got Jordan Whitehead and Andrew Adams and Mike Edwards
Speaker 1: and Dakota Dixon a lot of really good candidates, but
Speaker 1: he's such a playmaker and they want that on the
Speaker 1: field as soon as possible, even if maybe he takes
Speaker 1: a few weeks. Maybe it's not right away from week one,
Speaker 1: but I do think Andrew Winfield is gonna be a
Speaker 1: playmaker in this secondary relatively quickly. So that would be
Speaker 1: my pick. Okay, and I thought we also people watching
Speaker 1: from South Carolina and Canada. We love hearing that, so
Speaker 1: always make sure you get send that in when you're
Speaker 1: watching here. Jermaine asked who will have the most yards
Speaker 1: and most receiving touchdowns. I don't know if he means
Speaker 1: receiving on both or yards. You know, I'm assuming yeah,
Speaker 1: because I don't think we're gonna count quarterback here or
Speaker 1: something like that. So most receiving yards and most receiving touchdowns.
Speaker 1: So the old pick between Mike Evans and Chris Godwin question, huh.
Speaker 1: If you remember last year it went back and forth.
Speaker 1: Chris Godwin was leading the team and then Mike had
Speaker 1: a run, and then he was leading the team. And
Speaker 1: you remember we got to Atlanta and Mike was like
Speaker 1: eight yards away from getting his thousand yards, and uh,
Speaker 1: that would make him than Randy Moss, the second guy
Speaker 1: to do it for six straight season to start their career.
Speaker 1: So we're already with that note because he's like eight
Speaker 1: yards away, and and somehow Chris Godwin gets like a
Speaker 1: hundred fifty yards and beats Mike to a thousand. Mike
Speaker 1: did get there, and then Chris took over, and then
Speaker 1: Mike even to back up. I think Mike actually got
Speaker 1: ahead a little bit, but by the time they got hurt, um,
Speaker 1: Chris was just a little bit ahead of Mike, just barely.
Speaker 1: There were both on paste get close to fifteen her
Speaker 1: yards and I think it ended up was it nine
Speaker 1: touchdowns for Chris and eight for Mike. So I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, it could go either way. Touchdowns in particular
Speaker 1: are fickle. You know, you saw Chris Gotland. There was
Speaker 1: been six times last year when he was tackled inside
Speaker 1: the five yard line. He could have had fourteen touchdowns
Speaker 1: and he had nine. I think, so, UM, if I
Speaker 1: have to guess, I'll go with Chris just I'll go
Speaker 1: with the incumbent. He won the battle last year or so.
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be close. It's gonna be one of
Speaker 1: those two. I I don't foresee Gronkowski or anybody else
Speaker 1: taking that away from those two. Okay, and uh J
Speaker 1: asked who's going to be our slot wide receiver? Um?
Speaker 1: And I also just overall wanted to talk about the
Speaker 1: slot position in general and where you use a slot
Speaker 1: wide receiver, where you might even want to use a
Speaker 1: tight end sort of split out a little bit wider.
Speaker 1: What is sort of the reasoning behind who you put
Speaker 1: there and win and who were some of those people
Speaker 1: on this team that could fulfill that role, whether or
Speaker 1: not it's a traditional slot role like you picture at
Speaker 1: the speed this like small quick guy. Yeah, it's a
Speaker 1: very good question because they referred to that as the
Speaker 1: Z and the Z encompasses not only third receivers, but
Speaker 1: the second tied end when you have to tight end. Uh,
Speaker 1: you can even have a back that you put out
Speaker 1: in the slot. So whoever that extra receiver is, whether
Speaker 1: it's whatever position they call the z um so. But
Speaker 1: I think probably the question is about which receiver is
Speaker 1: going to be the third receiver on the field when
Speaker 1: we go to three, which, by the way, we did
Speaker 1: about of the time last year, which I think is
Speaker 1: pretty in keeping with most of the league. There's a
Speaker 1: few teams that buck that trend last year, but most
Speaker 1: of the league is going fifty in eleven personnel, which
Speaker 1: is three wide receivers. And uh, when we did that, However,
Speaker 1: the guy that came in as a third receiver wasn't
Speaker 1: always in fact wasn't primarily the slot receiver you'd usually
Speaker 1: put Chris Godwin in the slot. He played about I
Speaker 1: think his snaps in the slot, and so Chris Godwin
Speaker 1: was essentially the answer to who's your slot receiver? But
Speaker 1: if you want to know who the third receiver is,
Speaker 1: it seems like a battle primarily between Scottie Miller, Justin Watson,
Speaker 1: and Tyler Johnson, maybe Bryant Mitchell, who was having a
Speaker 1: nice camp last year before he got hurt. Um, you
Speaker 1: know the intriguing guy to me there obviously Tyler Johnson,
Speaker 1: but we'll have to see he was not gonna have
Speaker 1: a lot of time to get ready for his first season.
Speaker 1: The intriguing guy is Scotty Miller because if you put
Speaker 1: him on the field and you put him on the
Speaker 1: outside and with all that speed you saw him start
Speaker 1: to make some big plays last year before he got
Speaker 1: hurt again, with all that speed on the outside, that
Speaker 1: just open things things up for Chris and Mike. So
Speaker 1: even if Scotty's not getting a ton of catches, he
Speaker 1: can impact the game like Rashotte Perryman did as the
Speaker 1: third receiver for a good portion of last year. So
Speaker 1: if I'm guessing, I'm going Scottie Miller, but I'm interested
Speaker 1: to see how quickly Tyler Johnson it may be my
Speaker 1: committee kind of thing. Great, Yeah, that's true. Uh, we'll
Speaker 1: close out with this one. Daniel asked how good could
Speaker 1: Raymond Calais be for Calais. I keep saying it wrong.
Speaker 1: We gotta go with the Frenchies at the French Calais.
Speaker 1: It sounds cooler, I think, he Um, I wouldn't expect
Speaker 1: a gigantic role in the offense right away. To be
Speaker 1: honest with you, um I think that Coach will probably
Speaker 1: have a few things for him, presuming he makes a
Speaker 1: roster because it's certainly not a lock for in the
Speaker 1: seventh rounder. And that gets me at a point that
Speaker 1: my point that most six and seventh rounders, fifth rounders,
Speaker 1: they need to find some role on special teams to
Speaker 1: make the roster and to make the active game day list,
Speaker 1: and in Raymond's case, that could very very well be
Speaker 1: either one of the return jobs. He was a good
Speaker 1: kick returner at Louisiana Labat and obviously that's been a
Speaker 1: position at which we haven't had a lot of impact
Speaker 1: in recent years. I don't think he's done a bund
Speaker 1: of a bunch of punt returns, but neither I t
Speaker 1: J Logan before they put him back there last year
Speaker 1: and that went well. So um I think that Raymond
Speaker 1: has a chance to make an impact right away as
Speaker 1: a kick returner, which is something the Buccaneers could really use.
Speaker 1: And if that's the case, that will get him active
Speaker 1: and in the mix on game days and Coach will
Speaker 1: have a chance to fallop some special things for him,
Speaker 1: maybe some catches out of the slot, but again, we're
Speaker 1: talking about seventh round rookie who's only have a few
Speaker 1: weeks to you ready for the season, so I wouldn't
Speaker 1: expect a ton for him at the beginning. Okay, well,
Speaker 1: that's good to do it for us on this edition
Speaker 1: of Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller Lyte, Thinks as
Speaker 1: always all of you who joined us and submitted questions,
Speaker 1: and we'll see you right back here next week. H
