WEBVTT - Bucs Offense Erupts, MNF Preview | Bucs Insider | Tampa Bay Buccaneers

0:00:01.120 --> 0:00:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Bucks Insider, coming to you from the Bucks Studio,

0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.640
<v Speaker 1>presented by Ticketmaster Casey Phillips here with Scott Smith and

0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:09.600
<v Speaker 1>Breed Dix. I don't know if I remember time that

0:00:09.640 --> 0:00:12.600
<v Speaker 1>more has happened in the week leading up to this show.

0:00:13.119 --> 0:00:14.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, we've all been through it.

0:00:15.080 --> 0:00:18.040
<v Speaker 1>And then we had one of the wildest games that

0:00:18.120 --> 0:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I can remember watching, not just from a Bucks standpoint,

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.720
<v Speaker 1>but a football standpoint, that was insane, so much to

0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:25.240
<v Speaker 1>talk about.

0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:26.640
<v Speaker 3>We haven't done this in a couple of weeks, and

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.720
<v Speaker 3>we decided we weren't going to come back until the

0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 3>Bucks survived a hurricane and.

0:00:32.760 --> 0:00:33.040
<v Speaker 4>A game.

0:00:33.240 --> 0:00:34.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we wanted to make sure there was enough for

0:00:35.000 --> 0:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>us to talk about here, and we have it. So

0:00:37.400 --> 0:00:39.559
<v Speaker 1>of course we got to start with the run game, right,

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean, this was just such a massive part of

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.640
<v Speaker 1>this game, and you know, a massive part of what

0:00:44.680 --> 0:00:46.880
<v Speaker 1>they'd wanted to do this whole year, and such a

0:00:46.920 --> 0:00:49.560
<v Speaker 1>point of emphasis the last couple of years. So tell

0:00:49.600 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>me what stands out to you now about this absolute

0:00:52.159 --> 0:00:53.760
<v Speaker 1>explosion of the ground game.

0:00:53.880 --> 0:00:56.720
<v Speaker 5>Well, the Bucks finished with the third most rushing yards

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 5>in a single game in team history with two seventy seven,

0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:01.959
<v Speaker 5>So I think I think that's pretty telling. But with

0:01:02.080 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 5>Rashaud White out dealing with foot injury, both Bucky Irving

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:07.759
<v Speaker 5>Sean Tucker really stepped up, and I think you could

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:11.880
<v Speaker 5>see they were disciplined in their footwork that's accelerated quickly

0:01:11.920 --> 0:01:15.600
<v Speaker 5>through holes. Sean Tucker was named the NFC Offensive Player

0:01:15.760 --> 0:01:18.160
<v Speaker 5>of the Week. I'm sure he probably sent out the

0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.240
<v Speaker 5>little please tweet, but I think you just saw his

0:01:21.360 --> 0:01:24.520
<v Speaker 5>ability that slash style, and then how they compliment each other,

0:01:24.600 --> 0:01:28.279
<v Speaker 5>and then Bucky Irving with the lateral cuts, the lethal

0:01:28.440 --> 0:01:30.160
<v Speaker 5>tiff arm, kind of all those things to get the

0:01:30.160 --> 0:01:32.319
<v Speaker 5>crowd riled up. And then there was a lot of

0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:34.480
<v Speaker 5>gap runs and I think one of the staples of

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.920
<v Speaker 5>that is the counter that's been really successful and one

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:40.880
<v Speaker 5>of my personal favorites, I think both of you can

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 5>probably say the same is Bucky Irving's thirty one yard

0:01:45.360 --> 0:01:48.600
<v Speaker 5>zig zag rowing that came off of a counter. Both

0:01:48.760 --> 0:01:52.560
<v Speaker 5>Kate Atton Cody Map pulled across the formation and then

0:01:52.880 --> 0:01:56.480
<v Speaker 5>Bucky was patient, letting Kid get the backside block, and

0:01:56.480 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 5>then Chris Godwin also opened things up, getting the crack

0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 5>block on the edge, and then Bucky just made a

0:02:01.920 --> 0:02:05.000
<v Speaker 5>move on the outside cut back inside and then flowed

0:02:05.080 --> 0:02:07.960
<v Speaker 5>laterally across to move away from the congestion. And I

0:02:07.960 --> 0:02:11.280
<v Speaker 5>think what you're seeing is just the cohesion everybody being

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 5>on the same page between the rushers, the offensive line,

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.040
<v Speaker 5>and then even the receivers and the tight ends in

0:02:17.120 --> 0:02:17.639
<v Speaker 5>the ball game.

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.440
<v Speaker 3>Right as you were saying gap run, the the replay

0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.799
<v Speaker 3>that was showing was a Sean Tucker run, the thirty

0:02:23.840 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 3>one yard run. I think it was to the right

0:02:26.160 --> 0:02:29.760
<v Speaker 3>and it was exactly that great Tristan Wurf's pulling block.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 3>But I think the guy you didn't mention that's so

0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:34.040
<v Speaker 3>important in the blocking scheme was Baker Mayfield.

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:39.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, right after he was there was literally the first play,

0:02:39.720 --> 0:02:41.760
<v Speaker 2>first play he was offense fulls end.

0:02:44.639 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 3>I was joking about that. But another important player in

0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:49.600
<v Speaker 3>the blocking scheme is Chris Godwin. And Coach Bole said

0:02:49.600 --> 0:02:52.320
<v Speaker 3>it just the other day that Chris is as important

0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 3>to the run game as he is the past games.

0:02:53.919 --> 0:02:57.320
<v Speaker 3>Just kind of ridiculous considering he's like, I think, first

0:02:57.360 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 3>in the league in receptions and tied for first and touched.

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:02.480
<v Speaker 3>So if he's just as important as the past game,

0:03:02.520 --> 0:03:04.440
<v Speaker 3>that's saying a lot. And then also when you talk,

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 3>I mean the run game. Also, when you talk about

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:08.919
<v Speaker 3>Chris Godwin, all of the little short passes in which

0:03:08.919 --> 0:03:09.640
<v Speaker 3>he gains.

0:03:09.400 --> 0:03:11.720
<v Speaker 4>More yards is almost like an extension of the run game.

0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:14.639
<v Speaker 3>And last week in that game against New Orleans, he

0:03:14.639 --> 0:03:18.400
<v Speaker 3>had one hundred and five yards after the catch of

0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 3>his one hundred and twenty five yards, so only.

0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Twenty yards were through there.

0:03:22.240 --> 0:03:22.640
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:03:22.680 --> 0:03:25.679
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean the touchdown was fifty five point five

0:03:25.720 --> 0:03:27.560
<v Speaker 3>yards of yak because he caught it a half yard

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:30.359
<v Speaker 3>behind the line of scrimmage and we all, yeah, look

0:03:30.360 --> 0:03:31.799
<v Speaker 3>at the route tree there. I mean those were short,

0:03:31.919 --> 0:03:34.200
<v Speaker 3>mostly short passes, and that he was taken to the

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:37.480
<v Speaker 3>house that is on the one. So yeah, Chris is

0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:38.960
<v Speaker 3>important in this office in so many ways.

0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember last year when he came on the show

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:43.000
<v Speaker 1>that I did with Ali Marpett last year and we

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>found out that he grew up playing offensive line.

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.240
<v Speaker 4>In like, that's so we love to bring that one.

0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:49.520
<v Speaker 1>I love it because I feel like it just makes

0:03:49.560 --> 0:03:52.119
<v Speaker 1>so much sense. Ye It's like yes, because I feel

0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.920
<v Speaker 1>like everyone had described him as a guy that seemed

0:03:53.960 --> 0:03:57.000
<v Speaker 1>to have the mentality of an offensive lineman of this like,

0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm not super flashy, I'm just here to get the

0:03:59.360 --> 0:04:00.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna do the al work. I'm here to get

0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:03.600
<v Speaker 1>done whatever's asked of me. I'm involved in the block game.

0:04:03.640 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>That it was like I felt like I saw, especially

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>like Ali's reaction to that.

0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:09.400
<v Speaker 2>Of like this all makes sense, yeah, which I thought

0:04:09.440 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 2>was really great.

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.520
<v Speaker 1>All right, So now we talked about that part, but man,

0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:13.560
<v Speaker 1>we got to give the defense some props as well,

0:04:13.560 --> 0:04:16.000
<v Speaker 1>and we saw, you know, some important pieces come back,

0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.480
<v Speaker 1>which was very exciting. So for you, Scott, what stands

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.080
<v Speaker 1>out about the defensive performance in this game?

0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:22.599
<v Speaker 3>Well, I mean, this isn't really the topic I was

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.960
<v Speaker 3>going to start with, but he was just rewatching the

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.040
<v Speaker 3>game yesterday and it was clear in the second half

0:04:27.120 --> 0:04:29.320
<v Speaker 3>against Spencer Ratler, who did some really nice things in

0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:32.400
<v Speaker 3>the first half that Todd Bull said, nah, we're not

0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 3>going to have this anymore. And they set the edges

0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 3>and then just threw every kind of blitz and simulated

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:40.200
<v Speaker 3>pressure known to man as Spencer Ratler. They didn't score

0:04:40.240 --> 0:04:43.159
<v Speaker 3>in the second half, and four of the five sacks

0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:45.240
<v Speaker 3>that the Bucks got came in the second half, and

0:04:45.279 --> 0:04:48.000
<v Speaker 3>that's five sacks in that game, fifteen over the last

0:04:48.040 --> 0:04:50.560
<v Speaker 3>three games, which leads the NFL in that span. This

0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.880
<v Speaker 3>is after it seemed like it was going to be

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:54.760
<v Speaker 3>a problem because the Bucks only had two sacks in

0:04:54.800 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 3>the first three games combined and not a lot of

0:04:56.920 --> 0:04:59.440
<v Speaker 3>pressure overall. But I think what has been key is

0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:02.239
<v Speaker 3>Vitam missed some time, Van missed some time, came back,

0:05:02.520 --> 0:05:05.240
<v Speaker 3>and now Klijah Cantsey just made his debut after missing

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:07.320
<v Speaker 3>the first five games. And those two guys in the

0:05:07.360 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 3>middle are what we were talking about before the season started.

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:14.360
<v Speaker 3>Callija in his second season, Vita after sort of you know,

0:05:14.400 --> 0:05:17.839
<v Speaker 3>getting into peak form peak Vita vea form back to

0:05:17.880 --> 0:05:20.640
<v Speaker 3>that in the off season that this duo in the

0:05:20.680 --> 0:05:24.120
<v Speaker 3>middle was going to really drive a good pass rush,

0:05:24.200 --> 0:05:26.040
<v Speaker 3>and I think we saw that in New Orleans. I mean,

0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:29.479
<v Speaker 3>ten different guys have been involved in getting our seventeen

0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 3>sacks and nobody has more than three. But a lot

0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.240
<v Speaker 3>of people are involved, and I think a lot of

0:05:35.240 --> 0:05:36.840
<v Speaker 3>that has to do with the fact that those two

0:05:36.880 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 3>guys in the middle demand so much attention. And you know,

0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 3>you saw I Collidja made an instant impact. Everybody saw it.

0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:45.359
<v Speaker 3>You could see it with you could see it just

0:05:45.480 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 3>watching the game, but also coaches talked about it afterward.

0:05:49.160 --> 0:05:51.920
<v Speaker 3>He got a sack in his first game, bag Vita

0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:55.080
<v Speaker 3>gotta sacked for the third straight game, and his impact

0:05:55.080 --> 0:05:56.440
<v Speaker 3>on everybody else was pretty clear.

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.159
<v Speaker 1>And there's such a ripple effect right of you get

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:02.320
<v Speaker 1>Vita back and that helps your secondary because he's bringing

0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:03.880
<v Speaker 1>some stuff right in the guy's face, and the same

0:06:03.920 --> 0:06:07.280
<v Speaker 1>thing Colijah back helps Vita, and then having Antoine and

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Georgie were back there helping this. It just was so

0:06:09.240 --> 0:06:11.239
<v Speaker 1>cool to see all the ways that having these pieces

0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:13.680
<v Speaker 1>back wasn't just about their play, but it was how

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:16.360
<v Speaker 1>it elevated everyone else around them. And I you know,

0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.920
<v Speaker 1>Zion McCollum came on the show with us this week

0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and he talked about how having Vida back, having Colijah back,

0:06:22.200 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>that he could just sense how different it was even

0:06:25.120 --> 0:06:27.800
<v Speaker 1>for them as corners of like, oh, like, it's so

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:30.120
<v Speaker 1>great to have all of these guys back because then

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.599
<v Speaker 1>that's even less that we're having to do. But there's

0:06:32.640 --> 0:06:33.840
<v Speaker 1>less time I'm having to cover.

0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.280
<v Speaker 2>There's the guy isn't as comfortable sitting back there.

0:06:37.040 --> 0:06:39.120
<v Speaker 1>But I did want to highlight I mean, our corners, man,

0:06:39.520 --> 0:06:42.200
<v Speaker 1>what a game. When you're asked, you see an undrafted

0:06:42.839 --> 0:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>rookie has not really had a chance to do much

0:06:45.600 --> 0:06:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and then thrown into in terms of Tyreek Thunderberg, that

0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:51.359
<v Speaker 1>like thrown into the fire. And yes, gave up that

0:06:51.360 --> 0:06:53.760
<v Speaker 1>one touchdown and Coach bole said his eyes weren't where

0:06:53.800 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>they needed to be, but he said, outside of that,

0:06:55.640 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>had a great game. And I think that's a that's

0:06:57.360 --> 0:06:59.279
<v Speaker 1>a great sign for us that it's hard to have

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a backup corner and you know they typically are targeting

0:07:01.760 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>you like crazy, going after you and to come in

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.480
<v Speaker 1>for jaml like that and handle it great, which it

0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>was a great shoe. Yeah, this was his this was

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:12.160
<v Speaker 1>his debut and then of course Tike Smith, this guy

0:07:12.360 --> 0:07:15.440
<v Speaker 1>has been such a rock, so solid, and you know,

0:07:15.480 --> 0:07:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Coach Boules said on our show this week that he

0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.280
<v Speaker 1>that he gets the least rookie treatment out of all

0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:23.080
<v Speaker 1>of them, and he called the most the most veteran

0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 1>treatment because he makes the least mental errors that in

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.520
<v Speaker 1>terms of as a rookie, this guy has just had

0:07:28.560 --> 0:07:31.360
<v Speaker 1>the i Q down to Pat and Tom Bowles. Defense

0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:33.640
<v Speaker 1>is not easy to learn, it's correct not easy to learn,

0:07:33.680 --> 0:07:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and especially at that position what you're being asked to do.

0:07:36.120 --> 0:07:38.400
<v Speaker 1>And so I feel like to see what he did

0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.160
<v Speaker 1>with these force fumbles, which in my opinion, maybe they're great.

0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm telling you, I don't know I'm allowed to get

0:07:44.360 --> 0:07:45.360
<v Speaker 1>fined for saying these things.

0:07:45.360 --> 0:07:48.040
<v Speaker 2>But if if we are, we don't mean it, don't

0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:49.640
<v Speaker 2>We're just kidding. We're kidding around.

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>But I mean, should have maybe had two force fumbles,

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>got the interception. He's doing everything everywhere and again not

0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:59.480
<v Speaker 1>making those mental errors that you would expect of a rookie,

0:07:59.480 --> 0:08:01.960
<v Speaker 1>and I think that's in Zion. His confidence level just

0:08:01.960 --> 0:08:03.960
<v Speaker 1>seems through the roof this season, and I love seeing that.

0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Even though there were a couple things late in the

0:08:05.440 --> 0:08:07.200
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta game that I'm sure he'd love to have back,

0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it didn't affect his aggressiveness this week. I mean, he's

0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.520
<v Speaker 1>leading the league and passes defense, had his first two

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:16.200
<v Speaker 1>career interceptions in recent weeks, and I think that he's

0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:18.560
<v Speaker 1>only going to be better with Antoine and Jordan back

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>there too, because Zion also this week on the show

0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:23.880
<v Speaker 1>mentioned how with having Antoine back, they had this level

0:08:23.880 --> 0:08:25.800
<v Speaker 1>of communication where was like, Hey, because you're back here,

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:27.560
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to be able to play under some of

0:08:27.600 --> 0:08:30.240
<v Speaker 1>these routes that they have a very specific like you

0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>do this, I do this kind of a thing that

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>he said wasn't the case when Antoine wasn't back there,

0:08:34.920 --> 0:08:37.120
<v Speaker 1>that is affecting the way that and he was basically

0:08:37.200 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>kind of almost crediting that for the interceptionals you know

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:42.880
<v Speaker 1>that I know I can do these things, and even

0:08:42.920 --> 0:08:44.800
<v Speaker 1>just for him to have the confidence to now say,

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.000
<v Speaker 1>be playing those little games with this guy, like hey,

0:08:47.040 --> 0:08:48.960
<v Speaker 1>you do this, I can do this. We talked about

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.800
<v Speaker 1>how as a rookie and when you're early on, you

0:08:50.840 --> 0:08:53.240
<v Speaker 1>don't feel like you can do anything other than exactly

0:08:53.920 --> 0:08:56.679
<v Speaker 1>the game plan. And Lavonte's mentioned this too, where when

0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:58.480
<v Speaker 1>you're early on you can't do anything but the exact

0:08:58.480 --> 0:09:00.520
<v Speaker 1>game plan. But now the longer you're in it, the

0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>more confident you get, you can be like, hey, actually

0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:03.280
<v Speaker 1>in this, why don't you do this?

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:04.920
<v Speaker 2>And I do this? And Zion's at.

0:09:04.800 --> 0:09:07.160
<v Speaker 1>A position to start making some of those calls now,

0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:08.280
<v Speaker 1>which I thought was really exciting.

0:09:08.360 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 3>Rindy Barber and Derek Brooks used to talk about that. Yeah,

0:09:11.040 --> 0:09:14.920
<v Speaker 3>after a while, they were so insane great the defense

0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:17.000
<v Speaker 3>that they would talk to you, to them go, okay,

0:09:17.040 --> 0:09:18.720
<v Speaker 3>we always do this with you on this sight and

0:09:18.760 --> 0:09:22.000
<v Speaker 3>you on this said let's switch this time. Yeah, And

0:09:22.160 --> 0:09:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Derek and Ronde love to tell that story.

0:09:23.920 --> 0:09:25.120
<v Speaker 2>I love that all right.

0:09:25.160 --> 0:09:27.199
<v Speaker 1>So also, as we talked about the importance of how

0:09:27.200 --> 0:09:29.560
<v Speaker 1>many guys we were able to get back this last week,

0:09:29.920 --> 0:09:32.120
<v Speaker 1>it's a very big deal. So again, because of the

0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:34.199
<v Speaker 1>weird you know, not having the Monday night schedule, we're

0:09:34.200 --> 0:09:36.400
<v Speaker 1>a day late on everything. So normally in the show

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>we have an injury report by now we do not,

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:40.560
<v Speaker 1>but so tell us what we're keeping an eye on

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:42.720
<v Speaker 1>once we do start seeing those injury reports come out

0:09:42.720 --> 0:09:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of who's good.

0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:44.320
<v Speaker 2>To go, who may not.

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.800
<v Speaker 5>Wait, Well, Jamaldine exited the Saints game early on with

0:09:47.920 --> 0:09:48.920
<v Speaker 5>a hamstring injury.

0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:51.440
<v Speaker 2>He will seemingly miss.

0:09:51.240 --> 0:09:53.760
<v Speaker 5>Some time with the Bucks activating Keenan Isaac from the

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:56.880
<v Speaker 5>practice squad to the active roster, so his condition is

0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 5>certainly something that will monitor. And then Graham Barton, he's

0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.640
<v Speaker 5>been dealing with the hamstring injury, didn't play against the Saints. Now,

0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.439
<v Speaker 5>Robert Hainsey had an incredible game, boosted the run game,

0:10:05.520 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 5>So if he's not able to go, then Robert Hainsey

0:10:08.000 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 5>would obviously step in. And then like Evans was kind

0:10:10.880 --> 0:10:12.360
<v Speaker 5>of in and out of the Saints game, So we'll

0:10:12.400 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 5>get some clarity on that injury as well this week,

0:10:16.040 --> 0:10:19.959
<v Speaker 5>and then also seeing how Trey Palmer progresses any confession protocol.

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:22.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, so then now let's get into our trivia

0:10:22.920 --> 0:10:24.120
<v Speaker 1>for this for this week.

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:25.520
<v Speaker 2>For you, what do you have for of us here?

0:10:25.640 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 5>Okay, ready for this? I am when the Buccaneers beat

0:10:29.240 --> 0:10:32.000
<v Speaker 5>the Ravens for the first win in the two thousand

0:10:32.040 --> 0:10:35.760
<v Speaker 5>and two Super Bowl season. Who had the pick six

0:10:35.880 --> 0:10:39.160
<v Speaker 5>that sealed the twenty five to zero shutout?

0:10:42.280 --> 0:10:44.600
<v Speaker 2>I don't know, I know, I'm thinking.

0:10:45.040 --> 0:10:46.280
<v Speaker 1>I was wondering if I was gonna get a hint.

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>I feel like sometimes you give me a hint and

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:49.400
<v Speaker 1>then well usually the hint.

0:10:50.000 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 4>Two thousand and two team, thank you, he played defense.

0:10:52.559 --> 0:10:52.920
<v Speaker 2>Thank you.

0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:57.160
<v Speaker 1>If that had changed my mind of who I was picking,

0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>that would have been if I was like, ah, dang it.

0:10:59.800 --> 0:11:02.839
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, it was at the very end and they were

0:11:02.920 --> 0:11:05.200
<v Speaker 3>Baltimore was close to scoring and it didn't matter. We

0:11:05.200 --> 0:11:08.599
<v Speaker 3>were going to win the game, but the team really wanted.

0:11:08.360 --> 0:11:08.880
<v Speaker 4>To shut out.

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:09.719
<v Speaker 2>I like it.

0:11:09.760 --> 0:11:12.280
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's gonna be mentioned a right, So Scott, tell

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:14.240
<v Speaker 1>me a milestone tracker for this week. What are we

0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:15.679
<v Speaker 1>going to be watching it this Monday night game?

0:11:15.800 --> 0:11:19.240
<v Speaker 3>Okay, we've been off the air for a few weeks now,

0:11:19.320 --> 0:11:22.760
<v Speaker 3>so please forgive me for going back to the same well,

0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:24.080
<v Speaker 3>but it's really important.

0:11:24.080 --> 0:11:25.880
<v Speaker 4>It's Mike Evans.

0:11:25.920 --> 0:11:29.920
<v Speaker 3>Since we last broadcast this show, he's got a couple

0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:32.880
<v Speaker 3>more touchdowns and so he's at ninety nine now and

0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:36.160
<v Speaker 3>that's tied for eleventh with a guy from the Packers

0:11:36.160 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 3>from the thirties and forties named Don Hudson, and it's

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.760
<v Speaker 3>tied for eleventh. So one more, we'll give him one hundred,

0:11:43.240 --> 0:11:45.840
<v Speaker 3>and that will make him the eleventh player in the

0:11:45.880 --> 0:11:48.360
<v Speaker 3>history of the NFL with one hundred receiving touchdowns, and

0:11:48.480 --> 0:11:50.959
<v Speaker 3>the other ten, eight of them are already in the

0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.680
<v Speaker 3>Hall of Fame, and the two that aren't are Antonio Gates,

0:11:53.720 --> 0:11:55.679
<v Speaker 3>who was just eligible for the first time last year

0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:57.600
<v Speaker 3>and is going to get in yep, and Larry Fitzgerald

0:11:57.679 --> 0:11:59.480
<v Speaker 3>is probably going to get in on the first ballot

0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.280
<v Speaker 3>when he's all So we've kind of put to bed

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.679
<v Speaker 3>whether Mike Evans is a Hall of Famer or not,

0:12:04.720 --> 0:12:06.920
<v Speaker 3>but that one hundred touchdown is going to be huge.

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.679
<v Speaker 3>He actually has one hundred total touchdowns because he had

0:12:09.679 --> 0:12:11.880
<v Speaker 3>one on a fumble recovery and he's tied for twenty

0:12:11.920 --> 0:12:14.920
<v Speaker 3>fourth in league history and that, but that's not as

0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.760
<v Speaker 3>cool as sounding as like top ten.

0:12:17.000 --> 0:12:19.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, well, and it's funny you're going to be tracking

0:12:19.400 --> 0:12:21.560
<v Speaker 1>that milestone. I'm going to be tracking if he keeps

0:12:21.600 --> 0:12:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the football because Mike Evans is he has a history

0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:28.839
<v Speaker 1>famous for throwing the football into the stands and then

0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:37.000
<v Speaker 1>later being like, dang it.

0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:35.640
<v Speaker 2>Throw you know, his own whatever.

0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:36.880
<v Speaker 1>And so it was funny last week, you know, you

0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.040
<v Speaker 1>mentioned he got the one hundredth touchdown or two weeks

0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 1>ago and threw it and everybody's like, no, there's like,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.079
<v Speaker 1>well it was ninety ninth receiving.

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:43.800
<v Speaker 2>It was his hundred.

0:12:44.120 --> 0:12:47.120
<v Speaker 1>So everyone's like, okay, well, now this next one, he's

0:12:47.120 --> 0:12:48.640
<v Speaker 1>going to keep it right, And so I think that's

0:12:48.640 --> 0:12:50.959
<v Speaker 1>what I will be tracking is if he scores, does

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.600
<v Speaker 1>he throw the football and then does he regret?

0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:55.280
<v Speaker 3>You know, teams have a getback coach yah sidelines, we

0:12:55.280 --> 0:12:56.959
<v Speaker 3>need to we need don't throw.

0:12:56.840 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>Coach on each put the put the net up behind

0:12:59.679 --> 0:13:01.719
<v Speaker 1>the field thing wherever he is to keep it from

0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:02.400
<v Speaker 1>going on the stands.

0:13:02.400 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 2>Move the net in front of him.

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:04.840
<v Speaker 3>By the way, his next game will be his one

0:13:04.880 --> 0:13:06.760
<v Speaker 3>hundred and sixty first, which will break a tie with

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.679
<v Speaker 3>a great former center named Tony Mayberry for eighth placed

0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:11.360
<v Speaker 3>in team history. And it's weird to think that three

0:13:11.360 --> 0:13:14.160
<v Speaker 3>of the top ten most games played are on the

0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 3>team right now.

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, that's impold to David will Golston and Mike Evans.

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.160
<v Speaker 3>And yet the Buccaneers are something like the third youngest

0:13:19.200 --> 0:13:19.960
<v Speaker 3>team in the league.

0:13:20.080 --> 0:13:20.920
<v Speaker 4>It's kind of a weird mess.

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:22.440
<v Speaker 2>That's interesting, all right.

0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.520
<v Speaker 1>So now let's flip into our fantasy watch, which that's

0:13:25.559 --> 0:13:27.120
<v Speaker 1>my favorite, that is your favorite for.

0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:29.160
<v Speaker 2>Sure, So tell me what are you going to be watching.

0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:30.640
<v Speaker 2>What advice do you have for people?

0:13:30.640 --> 0:13:32.760
<v Speaker 3>Well, everybody's going to be deciding whether or not they

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:36.040
<v Speaker 3>should ad Sean Tucker and you know because really, honestly,

0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.120
<v Speaker 3>he had fifty three yards from scrimmage in his career

0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:41.199
<v Speaker 3>before this last game when he had one hundred and

0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:45.080
<v Speaker 3>ninety two and Rashad Whit's gonna come back at some point,

0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:47.120
<v Speaker 3>and there's been talk of the three headed monster. And

0:13:47.160 --> 0:13:49.920
<v Speaker 3>that's what every fantasy player dreads is a backfield where

0:13:49.960 --> 0:13:51.800
<v Speaker 3>you don't know what's going to happen and which guy's

0:13:51.840 --> 0:13:54.040
<v Speaker 3>going to have the yards and the touchdowns this week

0:13:54.280 --> 0:13:57.360
<v Speaker 3>next week, the week after. But in fantasy football, you

0:13:57.400 --> 0:13:59.800
<v Speaker 3>got to take the shot at a running back because

0:13:59.800 --> 0:14:02.760
<v Speaker 3>they're so hard to find, especially in season, and you've

0:14:02.760 --> 0:14:04.920
<v Speaker 3>got injuries and you've got bye weeks and you need

0:14:04.960 --> 0:14:07.520
<v Speaker 3>some depth. Take the shot. Put them on your bench,

0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.840
<v Speaker 3>see what happens. See what happens. So I would say,

0:14:09.840 --> 0:14:11.800
<v Speaker 3>if you're deciding whether or not pick up Sean Tucker,

0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:12.800
<v Speaker 3>definitely do so.

0:14:13.040 --> 0:14:13.199
<v Speaker 5>Yeah.

0:14:13.240 --> 0:14:15.480
<v Speaker 3>And then secondly, if you're a person like I do

0:14:15.559 --> 0:14:17.760
<v Speaker 3>a lot, you stream defenses, like you pick one a

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 3>different one each week, just based on matchups, stay well

0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 3>clear of this ballgame on Monday night, because these are

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.240
<v Speaker 3>two of four highest scoring teams in the league. Bucks

0:14:26.280 --> 0:14:28.680
<v Speaker 3>just had five hundred ninety four yards. I think the

0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:31.800
<v Speaker 3>Ravens had about four hundred and sixty yards against the Commanders,

0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:34.360
<v Speaker 3>and they average more than two hundred yards a game,

0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:35.920
<v Speaker 3>so rushing yards a game.

0:14:35.960 --> 0:14:37.720
<v Speaker 4>So just don't bother with this game.

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 2>That's a good call. I like that very much, all right.

0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.320
<v Speaker 1>So now this is where typically we talk about sort

0:14:41.360 --> 0:14:43.880
<v Speaker 1>of the human interest side off the field. Typically it's

0:14:43.880 --> 0:14:46.240
<v Speaker 1>about all player that we find some fun fact about

0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:48.560
<v Speaker 1>them or interesting storyline. But of course, with this last

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>week with the hurricane coming through and the herculean efforts

0:14:52.120 --> 0:14:55.280
<v Speaker 1>of our travel staff and everything they did for this organization,

0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 1>we just felt like that was what we.

0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.720
<v Speaker 2>Needed to focus on, talk about just what it took

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.720
<v Speaker 2>to have this happened. So, Bree, you were part of

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:02.920
<v Speaker 2>the travel party.

0:15:02.760 --> 0:15:05.520
<v Speaker 1>To New Orleans, tell us what stood out to you

0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>about it and just what it was like to watch

0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:10.360
<v Speaker 1>what all it it took for the that department to

0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:11.680
<v Speaker 1>get this done well.

0:15:11.680 --> 0:15:13.360
<v Speaker 5>And it's funny because I think a lot of times

0:15:13.480 --> 0:15:17.600
<v Speaker 5>we in this industry, we get so you have your

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:20.440
<v Speaker 5>regimented schedule and unless you have a Mina night football game,

0:15:20.480 --> 0:15:23.760
<v Speaker 5>a Thursday night football game, every week essentially mirrors the

0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:25.800
<v Speaker 5>week before, like you know, exactly what you're doing every

0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:30.760
<v Speaker 5>single day. So this took flexibility adjustments by everybody, and

0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:34.360
<v Speaker 5>just obviously gratitude for the Glazier family for prioritizing the

0:15:34.400 --> 0:15:38.800
<v Speaker 5>safety of the team, the staff, getting everybody out, and

0:15:38.880 --> 0:15:42.120
<v Speaker 5>I just think, you know, you just got to see

0:15:42.160 --> 0:15:45.840
<v Speaker 5>the behind the scenes look of every single aspect. People

0:15:45.920 --> 0:15:49.400
<v Speaker 5>making makeshift desk, people working in the mill room, people

0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.239
<v Speaker 5>working on the floor, working in hotel rooms. Because practicing

0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:57.920
<v Speaker 5>at Tulane university, and then we're shifting multiple hotels, we're

0:15:57.960 --> 0:15:59.880
<v Speaker 5>doing meetings in one hotel, we're staying in one. Then

0:16:00.000 --> 0:16:03.200
<v Speaker 5>we're all getting on the buses again, shifting hotels on Friday,

0:16:04.040 --> 0:16:06.240
<v Speaker 5>but just to see, you know, and I think throughout

0:16:06.280 --> 0:16:09.360
<v Speaker 5>the week. Initially you're worried about loved ones. Obviously you're

0:16:09.360 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 5>worried about the city of Tampa because a lot of

0:16:11.160 --> 0:16:15.440
<v Speaker 5>people had their their pets, their spouse, you know, grow

0:16:15.560 --> 0:16:17.280
<v Speaker 5>or whatever on the trip. If you had a lot

0:16:17.320 --> 0:16:20.160
<v Speaker 5>of people that all of their family wasn't on the

0:16:20.160 --> 0:16:22.960
<v Speaker 5>team planes, wasn't able to evacuate, so you had them

0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:29.640
<v Speaker 5>back at home. And then just absolute props to Tim Jarrocky,

0:16:30.000 --> 0:16:32.760
<v Speaker 5>the senior director of Team Operations, that I don't think

0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.440
<v Speaker 5>probably slept at all. I think every single time I

0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.360
<v Speaker 5>saw him he was on the phone, coffee in hand,

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.640
<v Speaker 5>but just not only booking multiple options going into the

0:16:43.720 --> 0:16:46.520
<v Speaker 5>trip and kind of having that contingency plan, uh is

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.480
<v Speaker 5>it New Orleans, is.

0:16:47.400 --> 0:16:50.760
<v Speaker 2>It somewhere else? But then also after the fact.

0:16:50.560 --> 0:16:54.320
<v Speaker 5>Of booking places for people that still had flooding, that

0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:56.600
<v Speaker 5>still had issues in their homes that they couldn't go

0:16:56.640 --> 0:17:00.240
<v Speaker 5>back to if we couldn't get back to Tampa. So

0:17:00.280 --> 0:17:02.360
<v Speaker 5>all of that throughout the week and just the ability

0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:05.280
<v Speaker 5>of the team and the staff to just block out

0:17:05.359 --> 0:17:09.600
<v Speaker 5>those distractions but use it as fuel against the Saints.

0:17:10.200 --> 0:17:13.520
<v Speaker 5>And then also kind of the same with Duke Preston

0:17:13.800 --> 0:17:17.680
<v Speaker 5>and Tyler Thompson with player engagement and just working with

0:17:18.160 --> 0:17:21.520
<v Speaker 5>the players individually to see, okay, what what is the

0:17:21.520 --> 0:17:23.640
<v Speaker 5>home situation, like do you have flooding? Do you need

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:25.840
<v Speaker 5>somewhere to go? And then booking, you know, getting the

0:17:25.840 --> 0:17:29.760
<v Speaker 5>hotel rooms ready. So it was definitely a team effort,

0:17:29.920 --> 0:17:33.639
<v Speaker 5>a very very interesting week, but happy to say that

0:17:33.680 --> 0:17:35.640
<v Speaker 5>we got the win, and I think it was fun

0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:36.760
<v Speaker 5>just to see the video.

0:17:36.640 --> 0:17:39.399
<v Speaker 4>Of the game. Balls yeah, yeah, yeah, Tim Drackey, that

0:17:39.480 --> 0:17:40.399
<v Speaker 4>one didn't, didn't.

0:17:40.480 --> 0:17:43.840
<v Speaker 3>Duke uh and his people also set up like excursions

0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:44.640
<v Speaker 3>for the families.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.679
<v Speaker 5>Yes, so they had a big zoo day one of

0:17:47.680 --> 0:17:49.679
<v Speaker 5>the days for the kids.

0:17:50.000 --> 0:17:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Yes, And I'm sorry.

0:17:52.200 --> 0:17:56.239
<v Speaker 3>The point being giving them something to do and so

0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 3>the players the the The whole idea was to be

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:04.879
<v Speaker 3>so structured and organized that the players could really focus

0:18:04.960 --> 0:18:07.400
<v Speaker 3>on football like they normally do and they're worried, right,

0:18:07.600 --> 0:18:10.360
<v Speaker 3>and bringing the families along allowed them not to worry

0:18:10.400 --> 0:18:13.560
<v Speaker 3>about their families back home. So it's not that it's

0:18:13.560 --> 0:18:15.879
<v Speaker 3>not a heartless thing like focus on football. It's like,

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.160
<v Speaker 3>let's take care of everything.

0:18:17.320 --> 0:18:19.480
<v Speaker 4>So these guys feel comfortable focusing.

0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:21.960
<v Speaker 5>On football well. And I love what Zion McCollum said too,

0:18:22.119 --> 0:18:25.520
<v Speaker 5>is that if you had a question or going through

0:18:25.600 --> 0:18:27.359
<v Speaker 5>film studying, you're doing different things.

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.800
<v Speaker 2>He's like, we didn't have to send a text, you

0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:30.720
<v Speaker 2>didn't have to call somebody.

0:18:30.800 --> 0:18:33.320
<v Speaker 5>I could literally just walk down to someone's room and

0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.560
<v Speaker 5>go in there and talk about things. You were in

0:18:35.600 --> 0:18:39.080
<v Speaker 5>this own little world, locked in in a hotel space,

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.320
<v Speaker 5>and even though it's different and it's out of your

0:18:41.359 --> 0:18:44.480
<v Speaker 5>realm of what you're normally doing. I think the guys

0:18:44.480 --> 0:18:47.200
<v Speaker 5>were really really good about being focused and being locked

0:18:47.240 --> 0:18:50.560
<v Speaker 5>in despite everything else throughout the week.

0:18:50.840 --> 0:18:53.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I really think that you can't overstate the idea

0:18:53.800 --> 0:18:56.200
<v Speaker 1>that part of why we won is because of the

0:18:56.240 --> 0:18:59.680
<v Speaker 1>efforts of the Travel department and the Glazer family, because

0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:01.560
<v Speaker 1>the mental side is such a huge part of it.

0:19:02.040 --> 0:19:05.600
<v Speaker 1>And if you are frantic and worried and running around

0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.440
<v Speaker 1>and all that, the odds of you really, like you said,

0:19:07.480 --> 0:19:10.000
<v Speaker 1>being able to focus on the game. So there's the

0:19:10.080 --> 0:19:13.679
<v Speaker 1>side of the empathetic human side, where this organization in

0:19:13.680 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 1>the Glazer family took care of everybody that it wasn't

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:19.120
<v Speaker 1>just about football, it was your safety is first, your

0:19:19.160 --> 0:19:22.439
<v Speaker 1>family is first, like they don't have to do that.

0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:25.679
<v Speaker 1>That was above and beyond for how the travel department

0:19:25.680 --> 0:19:27.399
<v Speaker 1>handled it, how the Glazier family handled it, all of

0:19:27.400 --> 0:19:30.320
<v Speaker 1>it was above and beyond. And then also to see

0:19:30.320 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>how well they did it that it affected the way

0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:35.480
<v Speaker 1>that the team was able to focus and be ready

0:19:35.520 --> 0:19:37.640
<v Speaker 1>for a game. To see that they hit both sides

0:19:37.640 --> 0:19:39.399
<v Speaker 1>of that of the human side and the football side

0:19:39.480 --> 0:19:42.760
<v Speaker 1>so well was amazing to see. And I just think

0:19:42.800 --> 0:19:45.359
<v Speaker 1>that that was truly a heartwarming thing of you know,

0:19:45.359 --> 0:19:47.760
<v Speaker 1>football as family that they always say that, and it

0:19:47.800 --> 0:19:49.879
<v Speaker 1>was very cool to see that. And it wasn't just

0:19:49.920 --> 0:19:51.600
<v Speaker 1>the football side either, that they were taking care of

0:19:51.600 --> 0:19:53.359
<v Speaker 1>the business side. That they were telling everyone on the

0:19:53.359 --> 0:19:56.080
<v Speaker 1>business side, hey, like if you need hotels, the Glazer

0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.159
<v Speaker 1>family has paid for them these different places. And I

0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:03.080
<v Speaker 1>thought that was so incredibly again above and beyond an

0:20:03.119 --> 0:20:06.640
<v Speaker 1>amazing and to feel cared for by your organization during

0:20:06.800 --> 0:20:11.159
<v Speaker 1>such a stressful, chaotic time, I thought was really amazing.

0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:13.440
<v Speaker 1>It may be proud to work here for the way

0:20:13.440 --> 0:20:14.840
<v Speaker 1>that they handled it, and I just I thought that

0:20:14.880 --> 0:20:17.960
<v Speaker 1>was really amazing and continued on, Yeah, there are still

0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.879
<v Speaker 1>people that they have in hotels because they don't have power,

0:20:20.960 --> 0:20:22.919
<v Speaker 1>or they're flooded, or you know, whatever the case may be.

0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:24.280
<v Speaker 1>It was not a thing that, like to your point,

0:20:24.280 --> 0:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>that ended with the New Orleans game.

0:20:26.119 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 2>It is still ongoing.

0:20:27.119 --> 0:20:29.919
<v Speaker 3>So the Glazier family provided the resources. But you mentioned

0:20:29.920 --> 0:20:35.000
<v Speaker 3>Tim Jiroki and Zach Worth give made it happen, Yes,

0:20:35.160 --> 0:20:38.320
<v Speaker 3>and they didn't. They started this on Friday before the

0:20:38.359 --> 0:20:41.960
<v Speaker 3>Tuesday trip. Tim was coaching, helping coach his son play

0:20:41.960 --> 0:20:44.840
<v Speaker 3>football when he got the call. So on a Friday,

0:20:45.080 --> 0:20:48.920
<v Speaker 3>just a normal friday, Yeah, a high school football night, right,

0:20:50.040 --> 0:20:52.119
<v Speaker 3>And so I don't think he slept a whole lot,

0:20:52.160 --> 0:20:54.720
<v Speaker 3>as you mentioned after that, but they also they had

0:20:54.720 --> 0:20:58.440
<v Speaker 3>contingency plans. They also found rooms in Houston in case,

0:20:58.960 --> 0:20:59.560
<v Speaker 3>in case there.

0:20:59.480 --> 0:21:01.320
<v Speaker 1>Wasn't going to be Yeah, if planning one of these

0:21:01.400 --> 0:21:03.040
<v Speaker 1>wasn't crazy enough, let's do too.

0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:05.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, And there wasn't enough rooms at the jaw where

0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:06.840
<v Speaker 3>we were going to stay over the weekend, and did

0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:08.800
<v Speaker 3>stay over the weekend, right, So they had to this

0:21:08.840 --> 0:21:11.439
<v Speaker 3>hotel and then this hotel had had the meeting space,

0:21:11.480 --> 0:21:13.919
<v Speaker 3>and so just to put it all together, it's pretty.

0:21:13.640 --> 0:21:14.880
<v Speaker 2>Amazing, incredible, good job guys.

0:21:14.880 --> 0:21:16.800
<v Speaker 1>All right, well, now let's turn the page as much

0:21:16.800 --> 0:21:19.399
<v Speaker 1>as this was an incredible week, and let's look ahead

0:21:19.440 --> 0:21:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to this next game against the Baltimore Ravens. There is

0:21:22.960 --> 0:21:25.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot to look at with this team. They are

0:21:25.600 --> 0:21:28.400
<v Speaker 1>pretty dang good. They are lighting the league on fire,

0:21:28.520 --> 0:21:31.720
<v Speaker 1>especially on the offense. So tell me what stands out

0:21:31.760 --> 0:21:32.960
<v Speaker 1>to you. Of course, to start the.

0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:34.960
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, they lost their first two games kind of flukey,

0:21:35.040 --> 0:21:37.280
<v Speaker 3>especially the Raiders game, but they have won four in row,

0:21:37.359 --> 0:21:40.639
<v Speaker 3>coming in and pretty handily and against some good competition.

0:21:41.080 --> 0:21:43.000
<v Speaker 3>And what stands up first of all is the running game.

0:21:43.000 --> 0:21:45.040
<v Speaker 3>They're averaging two hundred and five rushing yards per game,

0:21:45.440 --> 0:21:49.439
<v Speaker 3>which after in the offseason they thought, hey, let's sign

0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:54.720
<v Speaker 3>Derrick Henry, the enormous running back for the Tennessee Titans,

0:21:54.920 --> 0:21:56.920
<v Speaker 3>and put him in the backfield with Lamar jack Look

0:21:56.920 --> 0:21:59.440
<v Speaker 3>at the two of them next to each other, Lamar Jackson,

0:22:00.200 --> 0:22:02.600
<v Speaker 3>who is such a rushing threat on his own, and

0:22:03.200 --> 0:22:06.960
<v Speaker 3>let's see what this pair of running threats can do

0:22:07.119 --> 0:22:10.960
<v Speaker 3>to defenses. And you got to say it's proof of concept.

0:22:11.000 --> 0:22:13.159
<v Speaker 3>It's been exactly what they were hoping for because I mean,

0:22:13.240 --> 0:22:14.520
<v Speaker 3>especially think about a ready.

0:22:14.720 --> 0:22:18.880
<v Speaker 1>Now he's out running DB's with the football in his hand,

0:22:18.920 --> 0:22:20.439
<v Speaker 1>and he's like twice their size, which.

0:22:20.280 --> 0:22:22.440
<v Speaker 4>He's done throughout his career. But he's thirty years old.

0:22:22.560 --> 0:22:25.440
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, he's already reached over twenty one miles per hour

0:22:25.680 --> 0:22:28.879
<v Speaker 3>several times this season. He's running his fasts and when

0:22:28.880 --> 0:22:31.080
<v Speaker 3>he gets it into the open field, he runs as

0:22:31.119 --> 0:22:33.320
<v Speaker 3>fast as in the league. And he's huge, and he's

0:22:33.359 --> 0:22:35.440
<v Speaker 3>thirty years old. So it's really not fair. But you saw,

0:22:35.480 --> 0:22:37.240
<v Speaker 3>I think I think you saw in one of those

0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:39.879
<v Speaker 3>plays there was what you call his own read. So

0:22:40.000 --> 0:22:41.879
<v Speaker 3>Lamar Jackson's either going to give it to Derek or

0:22:41.960 --> 0:22:42.280
<v Speaker 3>keep it.

0:22:42.920 --> 0:22:43.359
<v Speaker 5>How do you do?

0:22:43.560 --> 0:22:44.479
<v Speaker 4>How do you defend that?

0:22:44.600 --> 0:22:44.760
<v Speaker 5>Is?

0:22:45.760 --> 0:22:46.520
<v Speaker 4>That is rough?

0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:46.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah?

0:22:46.920 --> 0:22:47.280
<v Speaker 4>Defense.

0:22:47.440 --> 0:22:50.000
<v Speaker 1>I remember the first time we saw Derek Henry, like,

0:22:50.040 --> 0:22:51.840
<v Speaker 1>we went to the joint practices in Tennessee and he

0:22:51.880 --> 0:22:53.600
<v Speaker 1>walked past us, and I remember you and I just

0:22:53.600 --> 0:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>been like.

0:22:54.680 --> 0:22:57.199
<v Speaker 3>She's not exaggerating, it's true. And we talked about this

0:22:57.240 --> 0:22:59.520
<v Speaker 3>a lot, but we both were like we knew he

0:22:59.560 --> 0:23:00.800
<v Speaker 3>was huge. He walked by on the end.

0:23:01.119 --> 0:23:02.120
<v Speaker 4>That's a running back.

0:23:01.960 --> 0:23:03.720
<v Speaker 1>He said, Really, that's a defensive end. That's not a

0:23:03.760 --> 0:23:05.000
<v Speaker 1>running back. That's a defensive end.

0:23:05.320 --> 0:23:07.399
<v Speaker 3>I get the most amazing stat, and you're going to

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:09.080
<v Speaker 3>talk a little bit about their defense, but the most

0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:12.399
<v Speaker 3>amazing stat to me right now through six weeks, the

0:23:12.520 --> 0:23:16.639
<v Speaker 3>Ravens are out rushing their opponents by an average of

0:23:16.640 --> 0:23:19.040
<v Speaker 3>one hundred and forty eight yards hundred forty six yards

0:23:19.040 --> 0:23:21.120
<v Speaker 3>a game. They are averaging one hundred and forty six

0:23:21.160 --> 0:23:23.000
<v Speaker 3>more rushing yards per game.

0:23:23.280 --> 0:23:25.800
<v Speaker 1>If you were just averaging that many rushing yards, that's great,

0:23:25.840 --> 0:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>and then more than the yeah, that's whow.

0:23:28.760 --> 0:23:31.040
<v Speaker 4>So hopefully the Bucks running game can change that a

0:23:31.080 --> 0:23:31.359
<v Speaker 4>little bit.

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.159
<v Speaker 2>Yes, all right, so Bree, what are you taking a

0:23:33.200 --> 0:23:33.920
<v Speaker 2>look at for this game?

0:23:34.119 --> 0:23:36.920
<v Speaker 5>Yes, well, on the defensive side, Zach Orr was promoted

0:23:37.000 --> 0:23:41.600
<v Speaker 5>promoted to defensive coordinator. I think it's interesting, little bit lopsided.

0:23:41.920 --> 0:23:45.600
<v Speaker 5>They are first in the NFL in run defense and

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:47.879
<v Speaker 5>thirty first in past defense.

0:23:47.720 --> 0:23:53.240
<v Speaker 1>So maybe we should I'm gonna go to Cohen's offense

0:23:53.240 --> 0:23:54.800
<v Speaker 1>after this and be like, I got.

0:23:54.680 --> 0:23:56.760
<v Speaker 4>It, I got an idea. This came to me just

0:23:57.280 --> 0:23:57.920
<v Speaker 4>wideboard thought.

0:23:59.080 --> 0:24:02.359
<v Speaker 5>Yes. So, as much as they've struggled against the past

0:24:02.480 --> 0:24:04.760
<v Speaker 5>or four C teams, to be one dimensional. I think

0:24:04.760 --> 0:24:08.280
<v Speaker 5>that all starts with Travis Jones, their nose tackle, who

0:24:08.960 --> 0:24:11.159
<v Speaker 5>plays with good leverage at the point of attack, has

0:24:11.200 --> 0:24:14.800
<v Speaker 5>kind of been their anchor inside, and then their defensive tackle,

0:24:14.840 --> 0:24:18.200
<v Speaker 5>and I really hope I do not butcher this nond

0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:24.800
<v Speaker 5>to Bak again, who just has the short area of quickness,

0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:29.040
<v Speaker 5>the athleticism to stop rushers. And then linebacker Roquan Smith,

0:24:29.080 --> 0:24:32.000
<v Speaker 5>who leads their demon tackles and it's just kind of

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:35.040
<v Speaker 5>a speed demon can out outpace rushers to the boundary

0:24:35.080 --> 0:24:35.960
<v Speaker 5>explosive in space.

0:24:36.000 --> 0:24:36.960
<v Speaker 2>So I think those.

0:24:37.119 --> 0:24:38.880
<v Speaker 5>Guys are going to be kind of the key of

0:24:38.920 --> 0:24:42.120
<v Speaker 5>that defense and have kind of been their game wreckers

0:24:42.160 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 5>each week.

0:24:42.760 --> 0:24:46.840
<v Speaker 3>By the way, thirteen sacks last year outrageous, which is

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:47.840
<v Speaker 3>why he got his bag.

0:24:48.640 --> 0:24:50.239
<v Speaker 1>I figured I would talk about the fact that, like

0:24:50.440 --> 0:24:52.400
<v Speaker 1>we went into the whole run part of their offense

0:24:52.960 --> 0:24:56.440
<v Speaker 1>and that that alone would probably be anything else. Yeah. Yeah,

0:24:56.920 --> 0:25:00.080
<v Speaker 1>they put all their resources into just that. Yeah, And

0:25:00.080 --> 0:25:01.320
<v Speaker 1>that was what I wanted to focus on, is the

0:25:01.359 --> 0:25:03.200
<v Speaker 1>fact that that's not it that that's not all that

0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.560
<v Speaker 1>would be enough, but it's not. So they also have

0:25:06.800 --> 0:25:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of course, they their offense as a hole.

0:25:08.720 --> 0:25:09.160
<v Speaker 2>It's insane.

0:25:09.200 --> 0:25:11.560
<v Speaker 1>Their stats first in the league and yards per game,

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:14.840
<v Speaker 1>yards per play, running yards per game, running yards per play,

0:25:15.040 --> 0:25:18.000
<v Speaker 1>and sack rate and third down conversion, all of those

0:25:18.040 --> 0:25:19.280
<v Speaker 1>categories first.

0:25:19.119 --> 0:25:20.800
<v Speaker 3>In the Yeah, but they're only like eighth in passing

0:25:20.840 --> 0:25:22.440
<v Speaker 3>yards right.

0:25:22.040 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Right, So then there's that weakness they And then as

0:25:26.760 --> 0:25:28.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked about, let's say, okay, we stopped the run,

0:25:28.680 --> 0:25:31.760
<v Speaker 1>let's say we just oh, okay, I'm gonna just say that,

0:25:31.760 --> 0:25:35.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna We're gonna do that. They have zay flowers

0:25:35.160 --> 0:25:38.760
<v Speaker 1>out there. And then he's sent new career highs and yards.

0:25:38.840 --> 0:25:41.400
<v Speaker 1>The last two weeks in a row. He had nine

0:25:41.440 --> 0:25:43.119
<v Speaker 1>catches for one hundred and thirty two yards in the

0:25:43.160 --> 0:25:45.640
<v Speaker 1>first half versus the Commanders last week and the week

0:25:45.680 --> 0:25:47.680
<v Speaker 1>before he had seven catches and one hundred and eleven yards.

0:25:47.680 --> 0:25:50.120
<v Speaker 1>So he can go off, obviously if you don't pay

0:25:50.119 --> 0:25:52.119
<v Speaker 1>attention to him, if you get too focused on Derek Henry.

0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Of course, Mark.

0:25:52.960 --> 0:25:54.719
<v Speaker 1>Andrews had been in a bit of a slump for

0:25:54.840 --> 0:25:57.760
<v Speaker 1>him for a while, caught his first touchdown of the

0:25:57.760 --> 0:25:59.760
<v Speaker 1>season last week, had a couple solid games now in

0:25:59.800 --> 0:26:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a row, so you really don't want to let him

0:26:01.720 --> 0:26:04.399
<v Speaker 1>get on that role that start letting him and you

0:26:04.440 --> 0:26:06.600
<v Speaker 1>know them get back into that same rhythm that they've had.

0:26:06.840 --> 0:26:09.240
<v Speaker 1>And then the interesting thing is the one potential weakness

0:26:09.240 --> 0:26:11.159
<v Speaker 1>that seemed like their offense was going to have this

0:26:11.240 --> 0:26:13.320
<v Speaker 1>year was their offensive line. That they made some moves,

0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:15.760
<v Speaker 1>they did some different things, new guys. First couple games,

0:26:16.119 --> 0:26:17.880
<v Speaker 1>it was looking a little rough. It was like, oh, man,

0:26:17.920 --> 0:26:20.159
<v Speaker 1>like you need that offensive line to do what you

0:26:20.160 --> 0:26:21.440
<v Speaker 1>want to do with Derrick Henry and with.

0:26:21.400 --> 0:26:22.000
<v Speaker 2>The passing game.

0:26:22.280 --> 0:26:24.720
<v Speaker 1>And then they seem like they have figured it out

0:26:24.760 --> 0:26:26.520
<v Speaker 1>and we know how to is with the offensive line

0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:29.920
<v Speaker 1>of sometimes it takes that chemistry, that communication a little while,

0:26:30.000 --> 0:26:32.919
<v Speaker 1>and it feels like they are because now they had

0:26:32.960 --> 0:26:35.800
<v Speaker 1>three new starters coming into the season and then they

0:26:35.800 --> 0:26:37.520
<v Speaker 1>had some moves due to injury, and it seems like

0:26:37.520 --> 0:26:40.159
<v Speaker 1>it's actually gone really well. They've now allowed the least

0:26:40.440 --> 0:26:44.160
<v Speaker 1>sacks in the league, so again number one in the league.

0:26:44.160 --> 0:26:46.560
<v Speaker 1>They've allowed the least sacks across the whole season, so

0:26:46.600 --> 0:26:49.080
<v Speaker 1>even factoring in those couple games that they weren't playing

0:26:49.080 --> 0:26:50.960
<v Speaker 1>as well. So obviously this is going to be a

0:26:51.000 --> 0:26:53.520
<v Speaker 1>tall task for our defense. But we've seen that like

0:26:54.000 --> 0:26:56.200
<v Speaker 1>Tod Bowles can figure things out that man is back.

0:26:56.200 --> 0:26:58.400
<v Speaker 1>They're dialing up different things, and I feel like we've

0:26:58.400 --> 0:27:00.359
<v Speaker 1>seen what a nice time to have so many of

0:27:00.359 --> 0:27:03.159
<v Speaker 1>our defensive guys back that I want to see, you know,

0:27:03.200 --> 0:27:05.119
<v Speaker 1>and I read all this, I'm like, but we have Vita,

0:27:05.240 --> 0:27:07.159
<v Speaker 1>but we have Antoine, but we have all these things,

0:27:07.359 --> 0:27:09.960
<v Speaker 1>and I'm just so thankful that for the timing of

0:27:10.000 --> 0:27:11.560
<v Speaker 1>all of it, that we have a lot of our

0:27:11.640 --> 0:27:12.200
<v Speaker 1>guys back.

0:27:12.600 --> 0:27:15.159
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, it's going to be an interesting thing they have.

0:27:15.240 --> 0:27:17.680
<v Speaker 3>They're starting a rookie at right tackle and Roger Rosengarten.

0:27:17.760 --> 0:27:19.679
<v Speaker 3>He's a second round pick. But this last draft was

0:27:19.760 --> 0:27:21.960
<v Speaker 3>so deep in tackles that you could find a guy

0:27:22.000 --> 0:27:24.479
<v Speaker 3>in the second round. So and also you didn't even

0:27:24.480 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 3>mention Isaiah Likely a second tight end who is a

0:27:28.000 --> 0:27:29.160
<v Speaker 3>very dangerous threat as well.

0:27:29.200 --> 0:27:30.360
<v Speaker 4>So there's a lot going on.

0:27:30.320 --> 0:27:32.600
<v Speaker 1>There, there is, all right, So now it's time for

0:27:32.680 --> 0:27:34.639
<v Speaker 1>our answer to our trivia question.

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:41.040
<v Speaker 2>I thought, I go ahead, Well, I.

0:27:41.040 --> 0:27:42.840
<v Speaker 4>Don't need to put on because I know who it is.

0:27:42.920 --> 0:27:44.720
<v Speaker 4>It's uh, did you have a guess?

0:27:45.240 --> 0:27:49.000
<v Speaker 1>Well, I mean I always guess Ronde, okay, which feels

0:27:49.040 --> 0:27:50.520
<v Speaker 1>like it would have been a decent guess.

0:27:51.119 --> 0:27:53.240
<v Speaker 4>Brian Kelly led that team in interceptions that year.

0:27:54.320 --> 0:27:59.320
<v Speaker 5>I can't guess because because you know, the answer looked, I.

0:27:59.280 --> 0:28:00.320
<v Speaker 2>Didn't have the yes.

0:28:00.800 --> 0:28:02.280
<v Speaker 4>The answer is Derek Brooks look at that.

0:28:02.320 --> 0:28:04.320
<v Speaker 3>And this was the beginning of his two thousand and

0:28:04.359 --> 0:28:07.320
<v Speaker 3>two NFC Defensive Player of the Year campaign, in which

0:28:07.320 --> 0:28:10.560
<v Speaker 3>he scored five touchdowns. This was the first one ninety

0:28:10.600 --> 0:28:14.120
<v Speaker 3>seven yard touchdown. I can still picture him running because

0:28:14.119 --> 0:28:16.800
<v Speaker 3>he had kind of an unusual running gait and you

0:28:16.840 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 3>don't usually see your linebackers running ninety seven yards. It's

0:28:19.520 --> 0:28:22.520
<v Speaker 3>the second longest interception return in team history after a

0:28:22.560 --> 0:28:25.280
<v Speaker 3>shut in Quarrels ninety eight yard against the Packers, and

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:30.760
<v Speaker 3>tied for the third longest touchdown of any type in

0:28:30.800 --> 0:28:33.359
<v Speaker 3>team history. And he would go on to do great

0:28:33.400 --> 0:28:35.400
<v Speaker 3>things that year. But they wanted that shut out bad

0:28:35.440 --> 0:28:36.240
<v Speaker 3>and Derek Brooks.

0:28:36.000 --> 0:28:36.480
<v Speaker 4>Made it happen.

0:28:36.680 --> 0:28:38.240
<v Speaker 2>All right, Well there's our answer. I hope some of

0:28:38.280 --> 0:28:39.080
<v Speaker 2>you got it right.

0:28:39.240 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 4>I bet something like we got it wrong.

0:28:41.240 --> 0:28:41.680
<v Speaker 2>That's true.

0:28:41.720 --> 0:28:43.480
<v Speaker 1>That one feels like a thing maybe people would have done.

0:28:43.520 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 1>All right, that is going to do it for us

0:28:44.960 --> 0:28:47.000
<v Speaker 1>on this edition of Bucks Insider. Thank you so much

0:28:47.040 --> 0:28:48.480
<v Speaker 1>for being here with us. We'll see you next week.
