Speaker 1: Welcome in to Buccaneers Inside a live presented by Miller
Speaker 1: like Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here, and this is
Speaker 1: always where we take your questions. And we know draft
Speaker 1: one week out. I bet they don't have any questions.
Speaker 1: I bet they have nothing to ask us. Yeah, I know, right.
Speaker 1: And it's been great because we now have guys out
Speaker 1: on the field actually getting to do Phase two. Just
Speaker 1: hurt an airhorn right now. They're literally out on the
Speaker 1: field right now. Um, so we've got a little bit
Speaker 1: of clarity on some stuff. And also, I mean it's
Speaker 1: still not really football. They're they're doing sort of the
Speaker 1: individual drills. There's no contact, but at least the coaches
Speaker 1: are getting to be out there with them, which is cool.
Speaker 1: And we also have a little bit of breaking probably
Speaker 1: saw me sneaking and peeked down on my phone. We
Speaker 1: actually have right now breaking news. Um. We don't know
Speaker 1: the full schedule until later tonight, but we've been informed
Speaker 1: that the game we're gonna play against the Carolina Panthers
Speaker 1: in London is going to be at the Tottenham Hotspur
Speaker 1: Stadium on October thirteenth. That's week six, and it's the
Speaker 1: kickoff our local time. Will that's so awesome. That's got
Speaker 1: to be the earliest game the Buccaneers have ever played,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure, So what does that kind of say
Speaker 1: to you? What do you learn from that about the
Speaker 1: schedule and what what could that mean for the team overall?
Speaker 1: Of whin that is in the London game, Well, we
Speaker 1: kind of knew it was going to be and it's
Speaker 1: usually in the week like six to eight range, so
Speaker 1: that's not surprising, um it. It probably also means that
Speaker 1: our bye week will be week seven, because you usually
Speaker 1: get your bye week the week after you play in London.
Speaker 1: It's just a cool experience. We've been to London twice
Speaker 1: and it's been fun both times. But this is there's
Speaker 1: a new wrinkle here and that this is a brand
Speaker 1: new stadium. There is gonna be one more game on
Speaker 1: the whole International series before ours, so we'll be the
Speaker 1: second game ever in that stadium. It's brand new. It
Speaker 1: was built with the NFL in mind. Actually, it's obviously
Speaker 1: it's main purposes to be the home team of the
Speaker 1: soccer club of the same name, but they it's a
Speaker 1: it's a multi purpose stadium built one of the purposes. Specifically,
Speaker 1: it was that was I said specifically while there, I
Speaker 1: specifically said that word well as um it was the
Speaker 1: NFL because they want to keep attracting more and more
Speaker 1: NFL games over there. So, for instance, they have their
Speaker 1: usual soccer pitch, but it splits and retracts, and underneath
Speaker 1: it there's a synthetic turf for NFL teams to play on.
Speaker 1: That's really I'm sure there's some other features as well
Speaker 1: that are specific to the NFL, but it's just a
Speaker 1: sign of how much that international series is progressing. I mean,
Speaker 1: there's five games in it this year. Every year it
Speaker 1: seems like there's more. I think there were five scheduled
Speaker 1: last year as well, But when this whole thing started
Speaker 1: it was one one game year. Right, it's five, four
Speaker 1: in London and one in Mexico City, so it's it's
Speaker 1: becoming a bigger and bigger deal. But um, it should
Speaker 1: be fun to play at that new stadium. That's gonna
Speaker 1: be awesome. I can't wait. Um So yeah, stay tuned
Speaker 1: for the full schedule at least later tonight at eight o'clock. Um, alry,
Speaker 1: we've got question starting rolling. We've got people from watching
Speaker 1: all over the place. I saw a Czech Republic and
Speaker 1: a bunch of really unique places that we Uh. It
Speaker 1: seems like new new people chiming in here. Um and
Speaker 1: I think his name is raw. I hope I got
Speaker 1: that right from the Bahamas. Um says, is it true
Speaker 1: that we don't have much money left on the cap
Speaker 1: to sign our draft picks? Uh? Just as we said
Speaker 1: heading into free agency when it looked like it wasn't
Speaker 1: it wouldn't even be possible for the Buccaneers to sign anybody.
Speaker 1: It's not that hard to create the cap space that
Speaker 1: you need. That no team has ever like passed on
Speaker 1: draft picks because they didn't have the cap space for it.
Speaker 1: Don't worry about that. We will have the cap space
Speaker 1: to sign all our draft picks. Whatever the number you're
Speaker 1: seeing on spot track or whatever website you go to
Speaker 1: right now that's making concerned, don't worry about it. It'll
Speaker 1: be fine. Yes, Um okay. And another question, we've been
Speaker 1: getting a lot and now we at least have heard
Speaker 1: a little bit from Jason light On. Tito said, what's
Speaker 1: going on with Kendall beck with uh, and I we've
Speaker 1: heard from Jason. I don't know that we have a
Speaker 1: lot more than we've had before, yeah, three times now.
Speaker 1: And Jason actually addressed this fact. He said, I know
Speaker 1: I spoke to you at the Combine about this, and
Speaker 1: I spoke to you at the NFL Owners meetings about
Speaker 1: this that at both times I said we'd have more
Speaker 1: information in a specific amount of time, and in this
Speaker 1: case it was mid April, and he said, we were
Speaker 1: not there yet. What we do know is that Kindle
Speaker 1: has not been clear to practice. The team has moved
Speaker 1: into phase two of the off season, where you can
Speaker 1: have assistant coaches on the field, you can do position drills,
Speaker 1: you can't do offense versus defense, but you can do more.
Speaker 1: And Kindle's not out there. He hasn't been cleared, so
Speaker 1: that's obviously not a positive step forward or a positive
Speaker 1: step forward that hasn't been taken yet. But he also said,
Speaker 1: we still are a little bit away from having our
Speaker 1: you know, our true knowledge of what's going to happen.
Speaker 1: So we still don't have an exact answer for you yet.
Speaker 1: We The only part of that that's new is that
Speaker 1: we know he's not been clear to practice, and he
Speaker 1: was practicing in the middle of the last season, so
Speaker 1: that's a little confusing. Yeah, that's true. Uh. Something else
Speaker 1: that Jason was asked about him that we are also
Speaker 1: being asked about is Gerald McCoy and the fact that
Speaker 1: he's not at the workouts, And it's always a good
Speaker 1: time to remind everybody that these are voluntary workouts, and um,
Speaker 1: you know there's I think on every team, I would
Speaker 1: be safe to say that there's usually players that choose
Speaker 1: to work out other places and aren't here. But what
Speaker 1: did Jason say when asked about Gerald McCoy. Well, I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of all the same thing. Uh,
Speaker 1: Like you said, it's voluntary, and Jerald McCoy is on
Speaker 1: the team right now. Um, you know, he gets asked
Speaker 1: constantly are you trying to trade him? Or is he
Speaker 1: staying away? And basically there's not a lot more to
Speaker 1: say about it than Jerom mcois on the roster and
Speaker 1: he's not practicing here, but he doesn't have to be right. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's very true. Uh TC said, I've seen a lot
Speaker 1: of mock draft showing that we might trade our fifth
Speaker 1: overall pick back for another second round pick. Do you
Speaker 1: see that as being a well, last year we traded
Speaker 1: from seven to twelve and got two second rounders. Um,
Speaker 1: you have to look at that draft value chart to
Speaker 1: get a good idea of and I don't have an
Speaker 1: in front of me of what exactly you would pay
Speaker 1: or get for different moves. One thing that I found
Speaker 1: interesting in what Jason Light said yesterday, and it matches
Speaker 1: up with what I was believing. Anyways, there is only
Speaker 1: a certain point to which we would trade down. We're
Speaker 1: at five. Jason said, there's five guys he would absolutely
Speaker 1: love to take there, so there's no urgency necessary if
Speaker 1: you could sit there and you're gonna get a guy
Speaker 1: you love. And that's true whether or not Kyler Murray
Speaker 1: goes first. It's probably easier if Kyler Murray goes first,
Speaker 1: because then you're reducing the four guys because he's surely
Speaker 1: not on our list because we're not taking a quarterback
Speaker 1: and five. I think that's pretty obvious. So, um, you know,
Speaker 1: it becomes five guys, four guys instead of five, or
Speaker 1: three guys instead of four that can be taken in
Speaker 1: front of you. Um, I don't know what it is,
Speaker 1: but there's some line where they won't trade back, and
Speaker 1: and that could that that decision will be made when
Speaker 1: we're on the clock at five, because you don't know
Speaker 1: right now which four guys are going. So let's say
Speaker 1: you have Jason said, there's they've drawn a line between
Speaker 1: they're absolutely top tier, great prospects and just the very
Speaker 1: very good ones. There's a there's a specific line there.
Speaker 1: And so if you get to let's pick a number
Speaker 1: and see there's ten of them, a nice round number.
Speaker 1: If you get to pick five and there are five
Speaker 1: of those, let's say that's there's seven of those guys
Speaker 1: left on your list, then you can move back seven spots,
Speaker 1: but no more and be guaranteed you can gamble that much.
Speaker 1: On the wise you're you're not guaranteed of getting that guy.
Speaker 1: You could probably move one more depending upon who you're
Speaker 1: trading with, if you know they're trading up to get
Speaker 1: a quarterbacks and you don't have to worry about that
Speaker 1: pick being rid of your guys. So there is a spot.
Speaker 1: I do believe that we're willing to trade, and absolutely
Speaker 1: you can get a second round pick out of that
Speaker 1: if you're trading two spots down like we did in
Speaker 1: um in two thousand and twelve. We traded down with
Speaker 1: the Jaguars I think in two thousand twelve from five
Speaker 1: to seven, and they took the wide receiver who who
Speaker 1: didn't last, and we took Mark Barron and we only
Speaker 1: got like a high fourth. I found another five to
Speaker 1: seven trade from another pair of teams that they got
Speaker 1: a third round pick for it. So if you're talking
Speaker 1: one or two spots, you're probably only getting like a
Speaker 1: third or fourth round pick. But anything more than that,
Speaker 1: you're almost certainly going to get a second round pick
Speaker 1: out of it. And you saw from seven to twelve
Speaker 1: was worth two second round picks, right, Yeah, that's very true. Um,
Speaker 1: Travis wanted to know do you think Josh Allen or
Speaker 1: Devon White at five? So I don't know if he's
Speaker 1: asking which you'd prefer or what you think is more likely.
Speaker 1: You can answer either way or but I think Devin
Speaker 1: wants more likely because I think Josh Allen will probably
Speaker 1: be gone. But UM, I think I would pick Josh
Speaker 1: Allen out of those two. We've been saying this all along.
Speaker 1: Whatever I answer that question doesn't mean that I wouldn't
Speaker 1: like to have the other one. Unfortunately, can only have one. So, UM,
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen would be a perfect fit for
Speaker 1: Todd Bowl's three four defense. I know as Jason was
Speaker 1: saying yesterday, you're gonna see four three, you're gonna see
Speaker 1: three four, you're gonna see Nicole. You're gonna see a
Speaker 1: lot of different looks. But let's just call to three
Speaker 1: four and there are as Jason was saying yesterday, running
Speaker 1: that defense and the multiple schemes really opens up the
Speaker 1: amount of prospects. It makes more prospects viable for you
Speaker 1: to draft, which is nice. It also helps some of
Speaker 1: the players that are already on the roster. As Carmen
Speaker 1: wrote about yesterday, Um, you can read that here on
Speaker 1: buccaneers dot com um or we're on Facebook now right, yes,
Speaker 1: well whatever on Buccaneers dot com um. That was going
Speaker 1: a little bit off tangent there. But the point is
Speaker 1: Josh Allen would be a really good fit. Now, another
Speaker 1: guy that maybe you're seeing rise up a lot of
Speaker 1: mock drafts lately is at Oliver. That's funny. That actually
Speaker 1: is the next question. A lot of people were asking
Speaker 1: if you feel like he would be a good fit.
Speaker 1: Here do and I think at Oliver would would be
Speaker 1: a viable pick for the Buccaneers if Josh Allen, Nick Bolsa,
Speaker 1: Quentin Williams is a lot of mock draft show are
Speaker 1: all going right before them, then I think he's a
Speaker 1: good choice there. I think if not, if Ed Oliver
Speaker 1: even goes before us, then that knocks another guy down.
Speaker 1: So either way, him rising up the board can have
Speaker 1: an impact on the Buccaneers. Okay, uh TC wants to
Speaker 1: know who you know. It's important to note that when
Speaker 1: I say rising up the board, I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: consensus the mock draft Roar, it's not I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think over the last couple of weeks we're
Speaker 1: gonna like it a bit. Yeah, that's that's a very
Speaker 1: good clarification that we are not up there sneaking draft board.
Speaker 1: Uh TC said, who do you think will win the
Speaker 1: backup QB job? Gabbert or Griffin? I think probably Gabbert. Um,
Speaker 1: I think we'll keep all three of them, though U
Speaker 1: Albert has obviously more game experience because as we always
Speaker 1: say about Ryan, he hasn't had the chance yet to
Speaker 1: throw the ball in a regular season game. Uh but
Speaker 1: he's he has said he likes Ryan Griffin, that he
Speaker 1: being Bruce Arians. So, UM, I don't think it's a gimme,
Speaker 1: But if you're asking me which one I think probably
Speaker 1: Gabbert Justin said, should we consider trading up for the
Speaker 1: guy we really want? Consider? Of course, but um two
Speaker 1: things they're the guy we really want could be several
Speaker 1: of different guys. I mean, we we could have a
Speaker 1: very similar grade on three guys. And if that's the case,
Speaker 1: then I don't think you want to trade up and
Speaker 1: give away valuable draft assets to get one of those
Speaker 1: three when you can get one of them by sitting still.
Speaker 1: Um two, I just don't think with seven a total
Speaker 1: of seven picks and a lot of needs, it makes
Speaker 1: a ton of sense to trade any of that a way.
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't see trade up happening right. Um
Speaker 1: A J is already putting you on the spot. Here,
Speaker 1: what is your prediction on what our regular season record
Speaker 1: will be? Man, I know you always hate this questions. Well, right,
Speaker 1: because you can't. I'm gonna look bad whatever I do here,
Speaker 1: Because you can say like eleven and five, like come on,
Speaker 1: you're being a home er, say nine and seven and
Speaker 1: what you don't believe in this thing, I'll just go
Speaker 1: in nine and seven, I mean, because that's what you
Speaker 1: don't believe in, the exactly appreciate that, Thank you. M
Speaker 1: Richard asked, when is the next Salty Dogs podcast. We've
Speaker 1: been talking about doing one soon, um, because we've got
Speaker 1: some players in the building now, so be cool to
Speaker 1: have one of those guests on. That's a good question,
Speaker 1: and if that person is interested in Salty Dogs, know
Speaker 1: that you can email us questions at Salty Dogs at
Speaker 1: Buccaneers dot NFL dot com. I'm gonna email and ask
Speaker 1: you what do you think of records? Thank you and um.
Speaker 1: In addition, you could suggest so I guess you might
Speaker 1: like us to have on, like of all the new players,
Speaker 1: do you want us to talk to day On? We can?
Speaker 1: And do you talk to Jack Barrett? And I could
Speaker 1: lead us in the direction. We've been talking about doing
Speaker 1: another one soon, so I think it'll be quite soon.
Speaker 1: Chris said, if we trade back, let's say into the teens,
Speaker 1: is there a chance we go cornerback at that position? Absolutely,
Speaker 1: and and that'll but again that's if one of those
Speaker 1: players on their list that I was talking about their
Speaker 1: top tier is a quarterback. If if if there's a
Speaker 1: quarnerback on that list, then yes, But I don't think
Speaker 1: they trade back past the point of where that list ends.
Speaker 1: And then they go all the ends of linebackers going
Speaker 1: that are gone. We took the corner. I don't think
Speaker 1: that's the scenario that's gonna unfold. If a cornerback is
Speaker 1: good enough to be on that list of what they
Speaker 1: think are the top great player tiers, then then yes.
Speaker 1: Second okay, Gerald said, is Ed Oliver too small to
Speaker 1: play three for defensive end? Light said, Bowls likes his
Speaker 1: d NS a certain size well, and the size is
Speaker 1: definitely the question mark about Oliver um. But I don't
Speaker 1: there's been some players around that size that have that
Speaker 1: have been able to play at that size. I don't
Speaker 1: think Aaron donald is the biggest guy in the world,
Speaker 1: you know, and he's obviously the most dominant. He's definitely shorter.
Speaker 1: He's I think he's six to I think he's yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I was better and Donaldson there wait a yeah,
Speaker 1: he's short of I think he's also bulked up a
Speaker 1: lot since he came in to the league. You know.
Speaker 1: Here's what I'd say about that, and it was I
Speaker 1: don't think it was a question about Oliver Our specifically.
Speaker 1: But um Jason was asked yesterday about a player and
Speaker 1: would he fit in this and was the size right,
Speaker 1: And he said, Todd Bowles knows how to take a
Speaker 1: guy and not use him in a way that if
Speaker 1: his size makes him not perfect for a certain role,
Speaker 1: then he'll devise a role for him that will work.
Speaker 1: So I think if he's talented enough, um, his his
Speaker 1: size won't be an issue. Okay, Morton said, um, I've
Speaker 1: seen some people predicting that we might trade with the
Speaker 1: Packers to go back in the first round. Do you
Speaker 1: see that as a possibility? Who are the Packers training
Speaker 1: up four? Right? That's the thing is like, it's I
Speaker 1: think the questions are always funny of the idea of
Speaker 1: just oh yeah, we'll trade back with them, but they
Speaker 1: have to want to trade up. And I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess some people were saying, I've seen predictions that they
Speaker 1: might take a QB to replace Rogers eventually. Eventually he
Speaker 1: just signed like a year worked really well when he
Speaker 1: sat behind far for a while, so maybe they're like,
Speaker 1: let's do that again. Yeah, but they took her and
Speaker 1: Rodgers at around the little different trade up to take
Speaker 1: him a little In fact, that was historically, um an
Speaker 1: amazing draft in that everybody passed on him all that, right,
Speaker 1: and Alex Smith I think went first in that draft.
Speaker 1: Um no, I mean yeah, you tell me who it
Speaker 1: is the Packers are trading up for, because twelve is
Speaker 1: a spot that I could see happening five to twelve
Speaker 1: and you probably still learned that range of players on
Speaker 1: that top tier list. And if you trade from five
Speaker 1: to twelve, like I did a mock draft this for
Speaker 1: this past at the on Monday casing, Carmen and I
Speaker 1: did our last mock draft and I had the Bucks
Speaker 1: pick because we alternate picks, and I had us trade
Speaker 1: back with Miami at thirteen because Miami was trading up
Speaker 1: to get a quarterback. Um. And then as it turned out,
Speaker 1: I eventually traded back up to nine. But in any case,
Speaker 1: the traft chart worked out. I got a second and
Speaker 1: a third, had to had to give back a fifth.
Speaker 1: If you move from from five to twelve, you're probably
Speaker 1: getting something like a second and a third or two seconds.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the Packers have up so um yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean that could work. I just don't see the
Speaker 1: motivation on the other end. Okay, And we'll close with
Speaker 1: this one uh TC. As we know, JPP will start
Speaker 1: his defensive end either left or right, who do you
Speaker 1: think will start opposite of him? Probably right now, you'd
Speaker 1: say Carl Nassa. And I think there's a belief that
Speaker 1: Karl Nassi is one of those guys that could drop
Speaker 1: back and coverage a little bit. Now. Shack Barrett when
Speaker 1: he when he came here said one of the reasons
Speaker 1: he came here was he was told up front, He's like,
Speaker 1: this is who we got, and we're not guaranteeing you
Speaker 1: a start, but you're gonna get an You're getting an
Speaker 1: opportunity to compete, to be a starter. He wants to start,
Speaker 1: or at least play a lot more. And as we've
Speaker 1: said on some of these questions, sometimes it's not all
Speaker 1: important who's listed as a starter, right, if you're getting
Speaker 1: the snaps, doesn't really matter that you're not listed as
Speaker 1: a starter. So, but that aside um, i'd say Carl now,
Speaker 1: but check there is certainly gonna get a chance to
Speaker 1: compete for it. Okay, well, it's gonna do it for us.
Speaker 1: In this edition of Buccaneers Inside of Live, presented by
Speaker 1: Miller Lte And we have one more before the draft.
Speaker 1: To make sure you're back here next week with all
Speaker 1: those final draft questions and hopefully we'll also see you
Speaker 1: at the Draft party at the Stadium next week as well.
Speaker 1: We'll see you then. Two
