0:00:05.600 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in everybody to Bucks Insider, presented by Ticketmaster. I'm

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:12.000
<v Speaker 1>Bucks senior writer Scott Smith, and with me is staff

0:00:12.039 --> 0:00:14.200
<v Speaker 1>writer reporter Breanna Dixon. You get the two of us

0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>again this week because Casey's still unavailable, But don't worry

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.119
<v Speaker 1>every one, case He will be back very very soon.

0:00:19.160 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, we've got a lot to talk about.

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>A great game, a Rendez Barber event, lots of players

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>doing amazing things.

0:00:25.280 --> 0:00:26.920
<v Speaker 2>So let's dive right in. Uh.

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.240
<v Speaker 1>First of all, I think it's fair to say that

0:00:29.280 --> 0:00:31.880
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of national analysts and maybe fans around the.

0:00:31.920 --> 0:00:33.879
<v Speaker 2>League that are a bit surprised if the Bucks are.

0:00:33.840 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 3>Two and oh right, Yeah, protection is not exactly correct.

0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Inside the building, though there's not much surprise, right, I

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:43.159
<v Speaker 1>think the Bucks expected to be this good, And you know,

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:45.120
<v Speaker 1>the players, they're feeling it a little bit. Let's hear

0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>from a few of them how they felt after they

0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>went to two and zero against the Bears.

0:00:49.240 --> 0:00:51.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm gonna make predictions, economies.

0:00:51.479 --> 0:00:55.640
<v Speaker 2>Man, we're here, I know we're coming for. I know

0:00:55.760 --> 0:01:00.680
<v Speaker 2>we're coming for. Talk on me. Nothing off with the work.

0:01:02.200 --> 0:01:05.679
<v Speaker 2>We have more work than you know. And I got

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>my first job.

0:01:07.040 --> 0:01:09.119
<v Speaker 4>Man, can you begin you buy it to that hype Yeah,

0:01:09.120 --> 0:01:11.080
<v Speaker 4>you can't buy it to the hype man. We're putting

0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:12.240
<v Speaker 4>that work at from day one.

0:01:12.319 --> 0:01:14.240
<v Speaker 2>We know what we got. They don't know what we got.

0:01:14.280 --> 0:01:16.640
<v Speaker 4>That's why he's saying that, but usting out the locker

0:01:16.680 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 4>room must want that to sit in that facility.

0:01:18.560 --> 0:01:19.319
<v Speaker 2>We know, do we even work.

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:20.679
<v Speaker 4>We've been putting that since day one.

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>A couple of rookies we see in there really enjoyed

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:28.479
<v Speaker 1>themselves early on. Huh, including Christian is Ian. Uh, he's

0:01:28.480 --> 0:01:31.560
<v Speaker 1>off to a great start. You know, he won that

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that slack corner job as an undrafted rookie, and he's

0:01:34.720 --> 0:01:36.760
<v Speaker 1>really a very confident young player.

0:01:36.920 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>What have you seen from him so far?

0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:41.200
<v Speaker 3>Well, two starts in the regular season and two interceptions,

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.600
<v Speaker 3>So I think he has an impressive resume thus far,

0:01:43.640 --> 0:01:46.040
<v Speaker 3>with one against the Vikings and then one against the

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 3>Bears that really put the exclamation mark on that victory

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 3>after shock bearts picked six. But I think just really

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:54.000
<v Speaker 3>all throughout training camp and even the preseason, you saw

0:01:54.240 --> 0:01:56.960
<v Speaker 3>the range, you saw that the quick twitch that he has,

0:01:57.400 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 3>just making plays from sideline a sideline, and really he's

0:02:00.280 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 3>just kind of elevated that defense, and then obviously against

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 3>the Bears, you know, Antoine Winfield hit Chase Claypool and

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 3>knocked the ball out. Christianizzian was right there. So I

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.320
<v Speaker 3>think it's just exciting to see him coming into this

0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:13.680
<v Speaker 3>role and to already make the impact that he's having,

0:02:13.720 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and he has that chip on his shoulder and he

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:16.040
<v Speaker 3>plays that way.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.679
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and as you see here on the screen, he's

0:02:17.760 --> 0:02:22.239
<v Speaker 1>already making NFL history as just the fourth undrafted rookie

0:02:22.600 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>interception in each of his first two games.

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:25.000
<v Speaker 2>It's kind of crazy.

0:02:25.000 --> 0:02:27.360
<v Speaker 1>It's only happened four times and two of them are

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:28.880
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers ray Eisaman.

0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:30.200
<v Speaker 2>That was in nineteen eighty seven.

0:02:30.240 --> 0:02:32.680
<v Speaker 1>There was there were some replacement games during a player

0:02:32.720 --> 0:02:35.000
<v Speaker 1>strike in eighty seven, but that was not during those games.

0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:37.680
<v Speaker 1>These were back when the players, when the regular players

0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:39.919
<v Speaker 1>were back. So it's a pretty big accomplishment for him

0:02:39.960 --> 0:02:43.000
<v Speaker 1>and a great start. Another guy that we saw there

0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.400
<v Speaker 1>in those clips with Shaq Barrett. It was really an

0:02:45.440 --> 0:02:48.120
<v Speaker 1>inspirational story for a number of reasons. One of them,

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.120
<v Speaker 1>of course, is he's coming back from the achilles tendon

0:02:50.160 --> 0:02:51.800
<v Speaker 1>injury and it was kind of a surprise when he

0:02:51.840 --> 0:02:54.720
<v Speaker 1>was full go at the start of training camp and

0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>we're just so thrilled to see him back back to

0:02:58.600 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>full speed, you know now that we're back.

0:03:01.600 --> 0:03:05.120
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, one, just to see Shaq at peak form, you know.

0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:08.880
<v Speaker 3>And on that play he kind of initially stunned inside

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 3>and then dissected the play, looked at fields, dropped back, pivoted,

0:03:13.040 --> 0:03:15.440
<v Speaker 3>and then was able to make the interception kind of

0:03:15.480 --> 0:03:17.520
<v Speaker 3>by closing that passing windows. So I think just not

0:03:17.639 --> 0:03:20.800
<v Speaker 3>only like you said, him coming back from the Achilles injury,

0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.880
<v Speaker 3>but also just he lost his two year old daughter

0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.800
<v Speaker 3>Arya in April, and I think just to see the

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.840
<v Speaker 3>way that the team rallied around him and even his

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.280
<v Speaker 3>teammates kind of helping push him into the end zone,

0:03:32.320 --> 0:03:35.160
<v Speaker 3>I think is just kind of an embodiment of the

0:03:35.200 --> 0:03:38.480
<v Speaker 3>team really rallying around him and his family and Geordanna

0:03:38.640 --> 0:03:42.480
<v Speaker 3>throughout this the offseason. So, you know, not a player

0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.520
<v Speaker 3>that you could root for more than Shack.

0:03:44.560 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>And I think we saw from his reaction, which we'll

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>look at here, that really meant a lot to got

0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:56.680
<v Speaker 1>of his own end zone to go on a pick

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>six just.

0:04:00.600 --> 0:04:03.400
<v Speaker 3>Unbelievable. You know, you can't even have him going through

0:04:03.440 --> 0:04:04.160
<v Speaker 3>something like that.

0:04:04.240 --> 0:04:05.680
<v Speaker 4>To see him go through it and come out on

0:04:05.720 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 4>the other side, play like he's playing right now to

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 4>be where he is right now. So i'nbelieved I always

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 4>play for my family already, but camera was on me

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:16.320
<v Speaker 4>after I made the play Tota love you miss You,

0:04:16.360 --> 0:04:19.440
<v Speaker 4>which he was here, and so I'm glad I'm able

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.480
<v Speaker 4>to still get some spotlight for her.

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 2>Awesome moment. Everybody felt it, and you know, he's a

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.200
<v Speaker 2>great player. Want our best players. You know, he sealed

0:04:26.200 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 2>the win for us today.

0:04:29.120 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>And it's so hard what the Bared family has been through.

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:32.720
<v Speaker 1>But it's just good to see him get some joy

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.360
<v Speaker 1>there with a play like that, especially one that basically

0:04:35.480 --> 0:04:38.120
<v Speaker 1>sealed the victory from the Buccaneers. Another guy that's been

0:04:38.160 --> 0:04:41.240
<v Speaker 1>inspirational to his teammates already in just two starts as

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:44.320
<v Speaker 1>the buccaneers new starting quarterback is Baker Mayfield. Yes, I

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.279
<v Speaker 1>think we see from Baker that he's willing to do

0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:50.080
<v Speaker 1>whatever it takes to win right that is, And some

0:04:50.120 --> 0:04:51.919
<v Speaker 1>of that some of that is simple things that the

0:04:51.920 --> 0:04:53.640
<v Speaker 1>coaches want him to do, like throwing the ball away

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:56.839
<v Speaker 1>rather than putting it in harm's way, but also sometimes

0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.080
<v Speaker 1>he takes off and runs, and when he runs, he

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>seems to mean it, and he got an award for it.

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:06.720
<v Speaker 3>Actually, I'll tell you who's the true psycho.

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.520
<v Speaker 4>Who's repping this shirt, who's repping this Segment's repping this

0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.000
<v Speaker 4>Show's repping this network and rep in.

0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 2>The sport Baker Mayfield. Let's go last week, Week one.

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.640
<v Speaker 2>Out of nowhere, Baker says, get your weight up. There

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:20.880
<v Speaker 2>goes the Baker with his stiff our Mike always he

0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.800
<v Speaker 2>looks like Gaston on the sideline and he's screaming and

0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:24.200
<v Speaker 2>he wins.

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:25.599
<v Speaker 4>Now, if you're just new to this segment, you're like,

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:27.400
<v Speaker 4>what's with this idiot screaming all the time?

0:05:27.520 --> 0:05:29.200
<v Speaker 2>Some piece of crap stuff? Do you think the players

0:05:29.240 --> 0:05:31.600
<v Speaker 2>care about that? Do I think the players care about that?

0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:33.559
<v Speaker 4>Baker Mayfield's trophy winner?

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 2>Did you get the scepter anger set right here? So,

0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.000
<v Speaker 2>like I say thank you to Kyle and everybody. A

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 2>good morning football. Hopefully there's more to come for the

0:05:41.400 --> 0:05:46.000
<v Speaker 2>bucks here. You're damn right, Bake, and there he is.

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 2>That's right, that's how you do it, Jamie pointing.

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:51.039
<v Speaker 4>Out it does appears in some kind of sauna.

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:53.760
<v Speaker 2>It's an angry sauna, though I like it. It you throw

0:05:53.800 --> 0:05:56.680
<v Speaker 2>the water over those rocks and it's steamy. Is helling it? Extoliatehs,

0:05:56.680 --> 0:06:02.520
<v Speaker 2>we love it. Baker Mayfield Week one Winner of the Seven. Yeah,

0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.560
<v Speaker 2>I don't know who's working harder there, Baker.

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Or Bran Right, he really settles out.

0:06:07.960 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 2>They both really sell out.

0:06:09.480 --> 0:06:12.080
<v Speaker 1>I think I was very impressed with Baker's play in

0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:14.479
<v Speaker 1>You know, he played well in the Vikings game, but

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>I think he took it up another level against the Bears.

0:06:16.839 --> 0:06:18.479
<v Speaker 1>He was twenty six of thirty four, He had his

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.359
<v Speaker 1>first three hundred yard passing game as a buccaneer, And

0:06:21.400 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 1>a stat that our PR department unearthed after the game

0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>is he's been incredible on third down. Yes, I think

0:06:28.320 --> 0:06:31.839
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty three and a passer rating like one hundred

0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>and thirty two point two. It's supposed to get harder

0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.240
<v Speaker 1>on third downs, You're not supposed to get better because

0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:38.920
<v Speaker 1>everybody expects you have passed. So I've been impressed with

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:40.440
<v Speaker 1>him so far, and I think he's done a really

0:06:40.440 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>good job grabbing this opportunity to be a starter again

0:06:42.600 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>for a team.

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:45.160
<v Speaker 2>What have you, right? What really stands out for you

0:06:45.160 --> 0:06:46.160
<v Speaker 2>from Baker's port, I think.

0:06:46.080 --> 0:06:51.120
<v Speaker 3>Specifically from that Bears game, the Bears pressured Baker Mayfield

0:06:51.600 --> 0:06:54.760
<v Speaker 3>seventeen times and they didn't take him down once. And

0:06:54.800 --> 0:06:56.839
<v Speaker 3>I think you saw a lot of times where it

0:06:56.880 --> 0:06:59.760
<v Speaker 3>was almost closed his legs were being wrapped up, and

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 3>even if you just looked at the initial picture, you

0:07:01.640 --> 0:07:03.800
<v Speaker 3>would think he's going down to the ground, and then

0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.360
<v Speaker 3>some way, somehow he would maneuver around it, he would

0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.120
<v Speaker 3>evade the sack, he would get off one of those

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:13.880
<v Speaker 3>incredible side arm, yeah, sidearm passes and keep drives alive.

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.680
<v Speaker 3>So I think that was one of the biggest things

0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:18.120
<v Speaker 3>for me, is just the effort that he plays with,

0:07:18.240 --> 0:07:18.520
<v Speaker 3>and he.

0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:19.280
<v Speaker 2>Really spread it around.

0:07:19.320 --> 0:07:21.560
<v Speaker 1>When you look at this chart here, you know, thrown

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:25.080
<v Speaker 1>to all corrants quadrants of the field, and like you said,

0:07:25.160 --> 0:07:28.960
<v Speaker 1>making some just really off platform throws. I think everybody

0:07:29.160 --> 0:07:30.680
<v Speaker 1>on the one you were talking about where he was

0:07:30.720 --> 0:07:33.200
<v Speaker 1>basically being tackled by his feet and he was almost

0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:34.239
<v Speaker 1>horizontal to the ground.

0:07:34.320 --> 0:07:35.600
<v Speaker 2>Yes, flipped the little side arm.

0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Or too, maybe Kate Ott and I think it was

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:39.880
<v Speaker 1>it just it reminded a lot of people of the

0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:42.840
<v Speaker 1>Great Bucks Super Bowl victory here when we're playing against

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes and the deepens an amazing job against Patrick Mahomes,

0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:48.600
<v Speaker 1>but he still made a number of crazy plays like that.

0:07:48.680 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 1>You know who else could do that with Patrick Mahomes, Well,

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:53.360
<v Speaker 1>we saw a little bit of that from Baker Mayfield.

0:07:53.360 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 2>But one thing, one of the reasons.

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 1>Why Baker had such a game is because he very

0:07:57.280 --> 0:08:01.480
<v Speaker 1>wisely kept throwing the ball to one my Evans. Mike

0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.119
<v Speaker 1>Evans finished with six catches for one hundred and seventy

0:08:04.120 --> 0:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>one yards and a touchdown for the second week in

0:08:06.600 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 1>a row. He's another guy that maybe NFL analysts around

0:08:10.840 --> 0:08:16.440
<v Speaker 1>the around the nation and fans, maybe we're underestimating, you know,

0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:19.080
<v Speaker 1>going into his tenth season, is Mike is Mike on

0:08:19.120 --> 0:08:23.680
<v Speaker 1>the decline? You know, he's he's played, you know, he's

0:08:23.680 --> 0:08:26.040
<v Speaker 1>played in so many games, He's played so many catches.

0:08:26.600 --> 0:08:28.320
<v Speaker 1>Is this the point in his career he starts to claim,

0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.080
<v Speaker 1>And I think it's pretty clear at this point he

0:08:30.120 --> 0:08:31.320
<v Speaker 1>isn't right right.

0:08:31.160 --> 0:08:33.400
<v Speaker 3>When I think you almost get to the point where

0:08:33.440 --> 0:08:35.959
<v Speaker 3>he had nine straight one thousand yard seasons, and I

0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.840
<v Speaker 3>think at some point people have just become a little

0:08:37.880 --> 0:08:41.760
<v Speaker 3>bit desensitized to what Mike Evans is able to do. Sure,

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.760
<v Speaker 3>and I think, you know, against the Bears, he had

0:08:43.880 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 3>seventy nine yards after the catch career high that seventy

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:49.560
<v Speaker 3>yard catch and run. But I think one of the

0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 3>most impressive things when I look at Mike Evans is

0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:54.400
<v Speaker 3>his route running ability, and I think it's one of

0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.880
<v Speaker 3>the things that he's maybe not has talked about, little

0:08:57.080 --> 0:08:59.560
<v Speaker 3>undervalued in that in that area. But I think you

0:08:59.640 --> 0:09:03.480
<v Speaker 3>saw the synergy with Baker Mayfield with Mike Evans. Even

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:06.160
<v Speaker 3>on the seventy yard catch and run. He kind of

0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.160
<v Speaker 3>initially pushes like he's going to run a vertical route.

0:09:09.280 --> 0:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>Then once the dB bit on it, he would pivot

0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:15.680
<v Speaker 3>then flip around and before he would even turn, Baker

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:17.960
<v Speaker 3>Mayfield had already released that ball and it was right

0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:20.640
<v Speaker 3>in Evans numbers, And I think that was really encouraging

0:09:20.679 --> 0:09:22.959
<v Speaker 3>to see. I don't know only just Mike, but Chris

0:09:23.040 --> 0:09:25.360
<v Speaker 3>ran the same route. They had a connection there. So

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:28.320
<v Speaker 3>just to see that chemistry between those guys early on

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.640
<v Speaker 3>in the season can't help but get fants excited.

0:09:31.760 --> 0:09:34.520
<v Speaker 1>The touchdown was another example of that, and Baker Mayfield

0:09:34.520 --> 0:09:37.040
<v Speaker 1>did a really nice job of describing that play because

0:09:37.080 --> 0:09:40.839
<v Speaker 1>he said, initially the Bear's defense gave them a two

0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>safety look, and so there was a safety over where

0:09:44.120 --> 0:09:46.640
<v Speaker 1>Mike was but at the snapper right before they rolled

0:09:46.679 --> 0:09:48.720
<v Speaker 1>that safety to the middle of the field, and Baker

0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.640
<v Speaker 1>saw that knew that he had Mike out there one

0:09:50.679 --> 0:09:54.120
<v Speaker 1>on one and they were playing off coverage and so

0:09:55.040 --> 0:09:57.360
<v Speaker 1>off man, so it's man to man, but the corners

0:09:57.360 --> 0:09:59.880
<v Speaker 1>playing very deep. And as Baker said, Mike Evans is

0:09:59.880 --> 0:10:04.599
<v Speaker 1>the best receiver in the NFL at beating off man coverage.

0:10:04.720 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 1>And what he did is he bran it what they

0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.880
<v Speaker 1>call an inside go and the dB because Mike's long

0:10:09.920 --> 0:10:13.280
<v Speaker 1>striding speed is so deceptive the dB, and he gets

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.360
<v Speaker 1>on the dB before you expect him to and then

0:10:15.360 --> 0:10:17.520
<v Speaker 1>he's buy him before you know what's happening. And so

0:10:17.640 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Baker saw that he had him. Even though he had

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:21.360
<v Speaker 1>pressure in his face, he and he's falling backward. He

0:10:21.400 --> 0:10:23.400
<v Speaker 1>lopped up because he knew he just had to get

0:10:23.400 --> 0:10:25.480
<v Speaker 1>it over that dB and Mike would make them play

0:10:26.040 --> 0:10:28.000
<v Speaker 1>and so he didn't. So it's really good to see

0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.600
<v Speaker 1>the chemistry for those two. I think Baker was excited

0:10:30.600 --> 0:10:32.200
<v Speaker 1>when he got here to be playing with maybe the

0:10:32.200 --> 0:10:34.720
<v Speaker 1>best wide receiver duo he's ever had in Mike and Chris,

0:10:34.720 --> 0:10:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and we're seeing that in action. Already, So that's pretty exciting,

0:10:37.800 --> 0:10:41.840
<v Speaker 1>and Mike himself continues to move up the charts of

0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:44.360
<v Speaker 1>the all time greats. We're gonna talk about Rodney barbera

0:10:44.360 --> 0:10:45.880
<v Speaker 1>here in a second. This guy is on his way

0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:47.600
<v Speaker 1>to the Hall of Fame, I believe as well. He

0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.800
<v Speaker 1>got his eighty third touchdown catch and you could see

0:10:49.800 --> 0:10:52.560
<v Speaker 1>that ties him for twenty fifth with some pretty big names.

0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.599
<v Speaker 1>But as you can see, every time he makes a

0:10:54.679 --> 0:10:57.400
<v Speaker 1>catch pretty much for a touchdown catch, pretty much for

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.440
<v Speaker 1>the rest of the season, he's going to be moving up.

0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And now he only needs five more to be tied

0:11:02.800 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 1>for fourteenth. Of course, DeVante Adams could get some more too,

0:11:05.240 --> 0:11:08.160
<v Speaker 1>so that could change a little bit. But he's just

0:11:08.200 --> 0:11:11.840
<v Speaker 1>climbing that chart really really quickly, and he's just making

0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a kind of a new bit of Buccaneers history every time.

0:11:13.920 --> 0:11:14.840
<v Speaker 2>He catches a touchdown.

0:11:15.520 --> 0:11:17.800
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, that's actually a pretty good segue because if

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:19.960
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about possibly him ending up in the Hall

0:11:20.000 --> 0:11:23.319
<v Speaker 1>of Fame, he would be joining a growing number of Buccaneers.

0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 1>The latest is Rodney Barber And last night we had

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the premiere at great just ornate, beautiful Tampa Theater of

0:11:31.160 --> 0:11:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Prototype The legacy of Rodney Barber. Steven Lynch, our great producer,

0:11:35.000 --> 0:11:38.160
<v Speaker 1>Emmy winning producer, made this great movie. It's an hour

0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:40.440
<v Speaker 1>and twenty minutes long, and it's not just about his career,

0:11:40.440 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 1>it's about his Rondie's whole life, his family.

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 2>It's awesome. If you were there, I'm sure you loved it.

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>One of the things that really impressed me at this

0:11:49.679 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>premiere was I was not expecting this.

0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.840
<v Speaker 2>How enthusiastic the crowd was.

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:58.520
<v Speaker 1>They were having the best time, chants and cheers and

0:11:58.600 --> 0:12:02.040
<v Speaker 1>laughing at all the funny spots. They were just pouring

0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>out the love for Randi Barber, and it was really awesome.

0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.560
<v Speaker 1>If you weren't able to get there, that is going

0:12:06.600 --> 0:12:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to be put on the Buccaneers YouTube channel at seven

0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>o'clock tonight. It'll also be on Buccaneers dot com, so

0:12:12.920 --> 0:12:14.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to wait very long.

0:12:14.360 --> 0:12:15.480
<v Speaker 2>I highly recommend it.

0:12:15.760 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>If you he really enjoyed Rhandi's career, are just a

0:12:19.280 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers fan, You're going to really love it.

0:12:21.960 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't want to miss that.

0:12:23.679 --> 0:12:26.439
<v Speaker 3>I think one of my favorite moments in the documentary

0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:29.760
<v Speaker 3>was Mike Tomlin, who used to be Barbarer's former Devins

0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:32.559
<v Speaker 3>Bocks coach, and he said that when he came in,

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:37.160
<v Speaker 3>he joked and told Ronde that he was LT and

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:39.640
<v Speaker 3>he was Bo Parcels and he said, I knew that

0:12:39.640 --> 0:12:41.760
<v Speaker 3>that's what he would mean to me as a coach,

0:12:42.400 --> 0:12:45.680
<v Speaker 3>and I thought, there is nothing more telling than that.

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.120
<v Speaker 3>I mean, you're talking about Lawrence Taylor, who is one

0:12:48.120 --> 0:12:52.080
<v Speaker 3>of the greatest defensive players time, one of the greatest players,

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.800
<v Speaker 3>if not the greatest player. And I mean just offensive

0:12:55.840 --> 0:12:59.080
<v Speaker 3>linemen had to change their stance because they couldn't get

0:12:59.080 --> 0:13:02.120
<v Speaker 3>out of it fast enough against a guy like Lawrence Taylor.

0:13:02.679 --> 0:13:05.480
<v Speaker 3>And to say that Rende Barber was going to be

0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.679
<v Speaker 3>that player for him to really take the Buccaneers to

0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.720
<v Speaker 3>the next level. But I mean, he was just a

0:13:10.760 --> 0:13:13.679
<v Speaker 3>guy that did it all and he kind of refined

0:13:13.720 --> 0:13:18.200
<v Speaker 3>that nickel corner position with blitzing, with being an inside

0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 3>linebacker setting that edge against the run, and a guy

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:24.800
<v Speaker 3>that just really has been kind of transcendent across the NFL.

0:13:24.960 --> 0:13:26.160
<v Speaker 2>And that's why he's in the Hall of Fame.

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, and on Monday night, this is very fitting that

0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers are going to be playing the Philadelphia Yes,

0:13:31.920 --> 0:13:33.960
<v Speaker 1>and he's going to run he's going to receive his

0:13:34.200 --> 0:13:36.319
<v Speaker 1>in a halftime ceremony. He's going to receive his Hall

0:13:36.360 --> 0:13:38.800
<v Speaker 1>of Fame ring and on the Ring of Honor at

0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.720
<v Speaker 1>the stadium. His name's already up there, of course, because

0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.680
<v Speaker 1>he's in the Ring of Honor, but like Tony Dungee

0:13:43.720 --> 0:13:45.839
<v Speaker 1>and Warren Sapp and Derek Brooks and John Lynch, he's

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:48.080
<v Speaker 1>going to have his Hall of Fame logo presented next

0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>to his name, So that'll be exciting.

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:53.280
<v Speaker 2>And team again. I'll tell you there.

0:13:52.840 --> 0:13:54.800
<v Speaker 1>Was a panel after the movie last night up on

0:13:54.840 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>the stage which I was fortunate enough to moderate, and

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:00.640
<v Speaker 1>we were getting to the end of it and Ronnie

0:14:00.720 --> 0:14:02.439
<v Speaker 1>was talking about what he was most proud of about

0:14:02.440 --> 0:14:04.560
<v Speaker 1>his career, and there was a lot of good answers there,

0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:05.760
<v Speaker 1>but at the end he kind of made a joke.

0:14:05.800 --> 0:14:07.679
<v Speaker 1>It's like, I'll tell you what I think I'm most

0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:08.959
<v Speaker 1>proud of, just being a pain in.

0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:10.440
<v Speaker 2>The butt for the Philadelphia Eagles.

0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.559
<v Speaker 1>So it's so fitting that it'll be against the Eagles,

0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:16.120
<v Speaker 1>and that's going to be really exciting too. But you know,

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.119
<v Speaker 1>before we go here, that's a big game for the Buckaneers.

0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.560
<v Speaker 1>Two and zero Eagles are two and oh it's the

0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:25.560
<v Speaker 1>only matchup of undefeated teams in the NFL in Week three,

0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 1>and for the Buccaneers, it's really an opportunity to prove

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that this two and oh start isn't a fluke and

0:14:31.880 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>that they are actual contenders because the Eagles are the

0:14:34.320 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 1>defending NFC champs and they're very good again this year. So,

0:14:38.960 --> 0:14:41.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what are the challenges that the Buccaneers are

0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:42.040
<v Speaker 1>going to be facing on under now?

0:14:42.080 --> 0:14:44.280
<v Speaker 3>I think one of the biggest challenges is certainly going

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.240
<v Speaker 3>to be Jalen Hurts, who has that incredible dual threat

0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:51.240
<v Speaker 3>mobility Like Justin fields last week, I think that gives

0:14:51.240 --> 0:14:53.160
<v Speaker 3>you a little bit of confidence this week coming in

0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:56.760
<v Speaker 3>after they held Justin fields to just I think three

0:14:56.840 --> 0:15:00.480
<v Speaker 3>yards three yards on four carriers, So that again, but

0:15:00.560 --> 0:15:03.480
<v Speaker 3>just to be disciplined in your run fits. They were

0:15:03.520 --> 0:15:05.840
<v Speaker 3>able to contain Justin fields to where he wasn't able

0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:07.640
<v Speaker 3>to do the boot action all those kinds of things.

0:15:07.680 --> 0:15:11.240
<v Speaker 3>But the Eagles system is predicated on Jalen Hurts with

0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 3>the the RPOs, and then once the defense kind of

0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:18.400
<v Speaker 3>allocates resources there, then that kind of creates those advantageous

0:15:18.440 --> 0:15:21.840
<v Speaker 3>matchups down field for Devonte Smith. So I think that's

0:15:21.880 --> 0:15:23.880
<v Speaker 3>going to be a really big thing. And then their

0:15:24.240 --> 0:15:27.520
<v Speaker 3>defense has a lot of star set of players like

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:31.200
<v Speaker 3>Hassan Reddick, who is one of the most explosive pass

0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:34.120
