WEBVTT - Free Agent Possibilities & Greatest Need in the Draft | Bucs Insider

0:00:04.760 --> 0:00:08.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning everybody. It's time for Buccaneers Insider Live, presented

0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:11.280
<v Speaker 1>by Miller. Like Casey Phillips, here was senior writer and

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:13.680
<v Speaker 1>editor Scott Smith. And as always, this is where we

0:00:13.720 --> 0:00:16.120
<v Speaker 1>take all of your questions, thoughts, comments, all that, And

0:00:16.160 --> 0:00:17.639
<v Speaker 1>definitely I know this is the time of year we

0:00:17.760 --> 0:00:19.680
<v Speaker 1>enter where we have a lot of those because we

0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>have everything with free agency and craft and resigning people

0:00:22.400 --> 0:00:24.920
<v Speaker 1>new people and trades and all these things that this

0:00:25.000 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 1>is when we get to be sort of analytical and

0:00:27.520 --> 0:00:30.320
<v Speaker 1>hypothetical about everything. So there's a whole bunch of stuff

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:31.960
<v Speaker 1>you guys can ask us about. If you're not already

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:33.960
<v Speaker 1>watching on the Facebook page, head on over there and

0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.519
<v Speaker 1>you can submit your questions for us there um be

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:38.839
<v Speaker 1>or we get to all of that. Of course, we

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:42.239
<v Speaker 1>have incredibly sad news that we need to address and

0:00:42.280 --> 0:00:43.959
<v Speaker 1>just that I wanted us to be able to talk

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>about a little bit with the news of the passing

0:00:46.240 --> 0:00:49.479
<v Speaker 1>of Vincent Jackson, former Buccaneers wide receiver and Scott I

0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:51.080
<v Speaker 1>dis forige. You can start with you giving some of

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>your thoughts on on that news and what he meant

0:00:53.040 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>to this franchise and city. Well, I think my initial

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 1>thought is the same as everybody else. And that's my reaction,

0:00:59.040 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>I guess you would say, and that's incredible shock. Um.

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:05.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, this franchise has been around for forty five

0:01:05.520 --> 0:01:08.759
<v Speaker 1>years and so and and has had thousands of players

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and at some times you're gonna lose them. But you

0:01:12.160 --> 0:01:15.080
<v Speaker 1>would not have guessed Vincent Jackson if you were told

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:18.920
<v Speaker 1>that somebody had passed away, a former player only thirty

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>eight years old. Just incredibly highly respected inside the organization,

0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.840
<v Speaker 1>outside the organization, throughout the community, for all the work

0:01:27.880 --> 0:01:31.000
<v Speaker 1>that he's done, certainly among all the military families that

0:01:31.080 --> 0:01:36.399
<v Speaker 1>he helped. Um. Just just shocking and obviously very very sad,

0:01:36.840 --> 0:01:40.000
<v Speaker 1>sad for his family. UM. You know, there's not much

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.679
<v Speaker 1>more I could say. I know, the people that really

0:01:42.720 --> 0:01:45.959
<v Speaker 1>really had a connection with him, UM said things on

0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:49.840
<v Speaker 1>Twitter and elsewhere, like Mike Evans and Gerald McCoy and

0:01:49.880 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 1>people like that, and uh, you know, I think their

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:55.320
<v Speaker 1>their words say a lot about how much he meant

0:01:55.320 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>to so many people. Yeah, I completely agree, um, And

0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.080
<v Speaker 1>I one of the things I love about my all

0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:01.680
<v Speaker 1>with the organization is how much I tend to cover

0:02:01.840 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>those community events, UM and do sort of the off

0:02:04.360 --> 0:02:07.120
<v Speaker 1>field stories. And one of the very first stories I

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.440
<v Speaker 1>did when I started here was about Vincent opening his

0:02:09.560 --> 0:02:12.800
<v Speaker 1>cast restaurant, him giving me a tour, and I just

0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:15.760
<v Speaker 1>remember that story realizing he talked about how he had

0:02:15.800 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>personally gone and selected some of the reclaim material that

0:02:18.760 --> 0:02:20.760
<v Speaker 1>they were using in the ceiling of this restaurant. Just

0:02:20.760 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>seeing all these little details that he focused on, and

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it showed why he was so good on the field,

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:27.959
<v Speaker 1>And then it carried over to off the field, where

0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:29.359
<v Speaker 1>this wasn't something where he just kind of put his

0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.799
<v Speaker 1>name on it. He cared about everything that he did.

0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:33.919
<v Speaker 1>It was always something near and dear to his heart.

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:35.360
<v Speaker 1>And he was so welcoming to me. And I mean,

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>he was such a vet by that point, a big

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:40.240
<v Speaker 1>name player, super successful. He didn't need to do videos,

0:02:40.280 --> 0:02:42.440
<v Speaker 1>he didn't need to help us with some of that stuff,

0:02:42.480 --> 0:02:45.080
<v Speaker 1>but he was always so willing um to do that

0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>and made it so fun. And um, I got to

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.000
<v Speaker 1>cover his military events he did and the baby shower

0:02:50.040 --> 0:02:52.079
<v Speaker 1>he and his wife would throw for the military moms,

0:02:52.120 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and um, you could just tell that the genuineness behind

0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>it and how much he cared and how much he

0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>meant to a lot of those players and there's been

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.440
<v Speaker 1>so so much turnover in this organization that I think

0:03:00.440 --> 0:03:02.320
<v Speaker 1>there's only something like eight players that were here when

0:03:02.360 --> 0:03:05.040
<v Speaker 1>he was here. Um But he made a mark for

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:07.920
<v Speaker 1>a very long time on everybody that came into contact

0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>with him. So yes, we're praying for his family and

0:03:09.800 --> 0:03:11.560
<v Speaker 1>everybody that was close to him, but we just wanted

0:03:11.560 --> 0:03:13.200
<v Speaker 1>to make sure we started with a bit of a

0:03:13.200 --> 0:03:15.720
<v Speaker 1>tribute to a guy who was a great football player

0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>and an even better guy off the field and impacted

0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.799
<v Speaker 1>Tampa in huge ways. U. You were right to start

0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.519
<v Speaker 1>with his community work and stuff he did off the field,

0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.080
<v Speaker 1>but it's also worth noting what a great player he

0:03:27.200 --> 0:03:29.679
<v Speaker 1>was and one of the best Breegent signings, the most

0:03:29.680 --> 0:03:33.040
<v Speaker 1>successful freed and signings the Buccaneers have ever made. Um So,

0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:36.520
<v Speaker 1>just a real pro on and off the field. Absolutely.

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:38.520
<v Speaker 1>Um So, Now as we start moving to some of

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>these questions I know everybody has Again, if you're just

0:03:40.280 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>joining us, if you have questions for our show, you

0:03:42.760 --> 0:03:44.360
<v Speaker 1>can go ahead and put them in the comment section

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>underneath the Facebook Live video. Of course, I saw that

0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>I knew would be getting this one pretty quickly. J J. Watt.

0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:54.440
<v Speaker 1>We had a feeling that was going to be a start.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>Bryce started out asking, um, is J J. Watt of possibility?

0:03:58.240 --> 0:04:00.160
<v Speaker 1>He brought out the idea of he thought of as

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:02.560
<v Speaker 1>will Shock. He added with will Shack be back? And

0:04:02.560 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>then I just figured in general, that would be an

0:04:04.160 --> 0:04:07.240
<v Speaker 1>interesting place to start of where you know, as people

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:09.000
<v Speaker 1>look at, is J. J. Watt a good fit here?

0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>How you see what position in this defense and that

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.200
<v Speaker 1>sort of thing. Well, just from a fit, I think J. J.

0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Watt would be a great uh ed rusher, sort of

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.839
<v Speaker 1>inside outside guy in Todd Bull's defense. And a year

0:04:22.839 --> 0:04:26.239
<v Speaker 1>ago I would have easily and quickly dismissed this. They're

0:04:26.320 --> 0:04:28.719
<v Speaker 1>just saying it's very unlikely that the Buccaneers will go

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>after J. J. Watt. But after what Jason Lett and

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians and their staffs did last year, every time

0:04:34.760 --> 0:04:37.440
<v Speaker 1>the possibility of something came up, like Rob Gronkowski or

0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:41.080
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette or Antonio Brown, uh, it felt easy to

0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:44.279
<v Speaker 1>dismiss it, and then it happened. So I think after

0:04:44.360 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>last year, I'm gonna be a little less quick to

0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:51.000
<v Speaker 1>dismiss concepts like this. I still think it's unlikely, so

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, take it with a grain of salt, but

0:04:53.560 --> 0:04:55.760
<v Speaker 1>I think that the question of there had it, had

0:04:55.800 --> 0:04:59.800
<v Speaker 1>it probably framed the right way. If for some reason

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:04.359
<v Speaker 1>Shaquille Barrett was not resigned, that would make it more likely.

0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:06.040
<v Speaker 1>But I don't know if the timetable is going to

0:05:06.120 --> 0:05:09.039
<v Speaker 1>work there because he's J. J. Watt is already actively

0:05:09.480 --> 0:05:11.320
<v Speaker 1>searching for a new home, and you see plenty of

0:05:11.360 --> 0:05:14.080
<v Speaker 1>reports with him being linked to various teams that are

0:05:14.080 --> 0:05:18.080
<v Speaker 1>possible signings. So J. J. Watt might sign somewhere before

0:05:18.120 --> 0:05:20.720
<v Speaker 1>we know what's gonna happen with Shaq Barrett. Yeah, I think.

0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:23.440
<v Speaker 1>I think given the salary cap and the incredible number

0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:27.000
<v Speaker 1>of free agents we have, including some very important ones,

0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:29.039
<v Speaker 1>I think the majority of our work is gonna be

0:05:29.080 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>done trying to keep what we have intact, and so

0:05:32.320 --> 0:05:34.719
<v Speaker 1>it makes it seem less likely to have big signings

0:05:34.720 --> 0:05:37.040
<v Speaker 1>like a J. J. Watt, which is perfect cause. Our

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>next question was from Michael, who said, what is the

0:05:39.520 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>realistic expectation of keeping the boys together now that we're

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.240
<v Speaker 1>a couple of days past celebrations and we start looking

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>towards next season, so we're the likelihood and then what

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>is the salary cap situation when it comes to all

0:05:49.080 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>of that, Well, the salary cap situation isn't completely in

0:05:51.920 --> 0:05:53.719
<v Speaker 1>stone yet. I know there's been a lot of reports

0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.680
<v Speaker 1>that will be about a hundred eighty million. But then

0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:58.760
<v Speaker 1>we also have the recent reports that the NFL and

0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.880
<v Speaker 1>their broadcast part are getting close to new tenure deals

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:07.880
<v Speaker 1>which could include a whole new infusion of of you know,

0:06:08.080 --> 0:06:11.479
<v Speaker 1>dollars that could be possibly spread around in different ways

0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.760
<v Speaker 1>to sort of make up for the impact of the

0:06:13.760 --> 0:06:17.280
<v Speaker 1>pandemic and maybe push that salary cap just up just

0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:19.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit, which would help the Buccaneers and a

0:06:19.080 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of teams. Of course, um, I think it's relatively

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.719
<v Speaker 1>realistic to expect to get most, probably not all, but

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:29.040
<v Speaker 1>most of the Buck's key free agents back, just because

0:06:29.320 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of motivation on both sides. I mean,

0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:34.039
<v Speaker 1>you heard it at the parade, You've you've heard players

0:06:34.040 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>say it. I think now I've heard in Dominican Sue,

0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:41.200
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin, Lavante, David Shack, Barrett. I'm pretty sure I've

0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:42.880
<v Speaker 1>heard all of them say at some point in another

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.440
<v Speaker 1>that they do want to continue here with the Buccaneers.

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.039
<v Speaker 1>Now that doesn't mean they're gonna give some great, big,

0:06:48.120 --> 0:06:50.840
<v Speaker 1>huge hometown discount, but it could be more along the

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>lines of how you structure your deals to make all

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:56.479
<v Speaker 1>of them fit together. So I think the fact that

0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:58.360
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of belief that this team could chase

0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>another championship next year and you know, for a few

0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:05.359
<v Speaker 1>years possibly um is a good motivating factor in the

0:07:05.440 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 1>right direction. Still, some of these guys are definitely gonna

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:10.920
<v Speaker 1>get paid, though. I mean, I have to also imagine

0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 1>that getting to have a boat garade in February doesn't hurt,

0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:15.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you look at these different cities you're

0:07:15.960 --> 0:07:18.600
<v Speaker 1>choosing from, I just feel like, you know, I feel like,

0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.520
<v Speaker 1>how do you not want to live in Tampa as Yeah,

0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I got relatives shoveling the driveways this week, so we've

0:07:25.920 --> 0:07:28.640
<v Speaker 1>had our air conditioning on, so I think I'd prefer

0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.800
<v Speaker 1>to be here. Yeah, I feel like this winter storm

0:07:30.800 --> 0:07:32.720
<v Speaker 1>that has swept most of the country is probably helping

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.680
<v Speaker 1>our free agent con um. All right, So we had

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.240
<v Speaker 1>a question from Justin who said, do you see us

0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:42.680
<v Speaker 1>drafting a running back in the first round? Um, if

0:07:42.720 --> 0:07:45.200
<v Speaker 1>some of the guys or said let's see, or if

0:07:45.240 --> 0:07:47.560
<v Speaker 1>he said E T. N from Clemson, if we're still

0:07:47.600 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>on the board at that point, So it looks like

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 1>maybe just some first round priorities he's wondering about. Yeah,

0:07:51.720 --> 0:07:54.480
<v Speaker 1>e t n And and um Naja Harris of Alabama.

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.280
<v Speaker 1>They both are guys are projected to possibly be around

0:07:57.560 --> 0:08:00.120
<v Speaker 1>in the second half of the draft. Um, you know,

0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:03.120
<v Speaker 1>running back in the first round sometimes feels like a

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.800
<v Speaker 1>bit of a luxury pick. But the Bucks are in

0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.280
<v Speaker 1>a position to make a luxury pick now. Again though

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:09.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's I think we're gonna be saying this to

0:08:09.360 --> 0:08:11.880
<v Speaker 1>just about all these personnel questions for the next couple

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.440
<v Speaker 1>of months. It largely depends on what happens. Does Leonard

0:08:14.480 --> 0:08:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Fournette come back, because if you have Leonard Fournette back

0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:21.720
<v Speaker 1>and Ronald Jones and Keyshawn Vaughan, I think you probably

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.720
<v Speaker 1>could use your first round pick on something else. Um.

0:08:24.760 --> 0:08:27.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, we talked about every year how much a

0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of the front office people wish you could switch

0:08:30.480 --> 0:08:32.440
<v Speaker 1>the draft in free agency order. And I feel like

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.640
<v Speaker 1>this is the first year that's actually kind of nice

0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.200
<v Speaker 1>for us to have free agency first, that we do

0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>have so many guys that we like and want to

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.880
<v Speaker 1>bring back that this is the first time it feels

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:42.920
<v Speaker 1>more like this is good that we're going to know

0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:46.920
<v Speaker 1>the free agency situation before the draft. Yeah, because I

0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:50.000
<v Speaker 1>think you'd rather have Chris Godwin than any receiver you

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.920
<v Speaker 1>could take at thirty two. Um. But you know if

0:08:53.960 --> 0:08:56.120
<v Speaker 1>you sort for some reason lose Chris god when that

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.360
<v Speaker 1>does put that on the table, right. Yeah. Samuel asked

0:08:59.440 --> 0:09:01.440
<v Speaker 1>do you think Bucks will do a lot of short

0:09:01.559 --> 0:09:03.760
<v Speaker 1>term deals and wait until next year when the cap

0:09:03.880 --> 0:09:06.839
<v Speaker 1>is more to sign longer deals. That makes some sense,

0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.000
<v Speaker 1>and I think that could work with some guys. I mean,

0:09:09.360 --> 0:09:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I believe in domin Con Sue, for instance, has signed

0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>three straight one year deals counting the RAMS. But there's

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.719
<v Speaker 1>some guys that aren't gonna want one year deals. I

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.320
<v Speaker 1>think Shack Burry is an example, really wants to get

0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>a long term deal done at this point. I would

0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>think Chris Godwin, who who has so far only played

0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.320
<v Speaker 1>on his UM rookie contract, would want a long term deal.

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>Of course, there's the option using the franchise tag on

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:32.400
<v Speaker 1>one of those guys, which could end up being a

0:09:32.400 --> 0:09:35.360
<v Speaker 1>one year deal. Um. I think the questioner makes a

0:09:35.360 --> 0:09:37.520
<v Speaker 1>good point. It makes a lot of sense. You just

0:09:37.559 --> 0:09:41.120
<v Speaker 1>have to have motivation on both sides. Um. Christopher had asked,

0:09:41.160 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>do you see us trading down or up or staying

0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.520
<v Speaker 1>at thirty two. Yeah, I could see us trading down.

0:09:46.600 --> 0:09:48.320
<v Speaker 1>It makes a lot of sense. I mean, you're already

0:09:48.320 --> 0:09:51.040
<v Speaker 1>at thirty two is practically the second round. If you could, like,

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.360
<v Speaker 1>let's see, you could trade down five or tin picks

0:09:53.440 --> 0:09:55.800
<v Speaker 1>and reclaim the fourth rounder that you gave up to

0:09:55.800 --> 0:09:59.960
<v Speaker 1>get Rob Gronkowski. Um, that's probably a good move, particularly

0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.719
<v Speaker 1>because it's you know, the Buccaneers aren't going into this

0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>draft with a giant glaring need. I think they clearly

0:10:06.559 --> 0:10:09.920
<v Speaker 1>needed to get a tackle last year. Um. And and

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:14.640
<v Speaker 1>everybody kind of knew that. Um, I don't see that here,

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:15.920
<v Speaker 1>So you would think that there are a bunch of

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:18.000
<v Speaker 1>positions on the board and when that With that being

0:10:18.040 --> 0:10:19.360
<v Speaker 1>the case, it probably doesn't hurt you at all to

0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.439
<v Speaker 1>move down five or tin pick. So somebody's really motivated

0:10:21.480 --> 0:10:23.439
<v Speaker 1>to move up and give you a third or fourth

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.720
<v Speaker 1>round pick. I think it makes a lot of sense. Okay,

0:10:25.800 --> 0:10:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And Richard asked, are there any assistant coaches going to

0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:32.800
<v Speaker 1>other teams for promotions? Yeah? I think I think the

0:10:32.960 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>Lions made it official maybe today or yesterday, that Antoine

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.880
<v Speaker 1>Randall els our new wide receivers coach. So good for him.

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:41.440
<v Speaker 1>We loved having him. It's too bad that he's gone,

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>but that's great for him. I have not heard of

0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:46.560
<v Speaker 1>any others. And how much is that going to impact

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:49.360
<v Speaker 1>this team's ability to have success again next? I think

0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:52.880
<v Speaker 1>we talk a lot about resigning players. UM in your mind,

0:10:52.920 --> 0:10:55.960
<v Speaker 1>how big of a factor is bringing back coaches? You

0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:59.199
<v Speaker 1>always hear every single time how much a team values

0:10:59.240 --> 0:11:01.600
<v Speaker 1>continuity when it's going into a training camp and it

0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:05.400
<v Speaker 1>has the same coordinators in particular UM running the same systems.

0:11:05.559 --> 0:11:07.720
<v Speaker 1>So I think it's a it's a huge benefit to

0:11:07.720 --> 0:11:09.640
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers. We I think we saw a little bit

0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:11.320
<v Speaker 1>of that last year. You know, it was a little

0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>there was the big transition with Tom Brady, your quarterback, UM,

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, fitting into the system. But otherwise the defense

0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:20.960
<v Speaker 1>under Todd Bowles. You know, they had most of the

0:11:20.960 --> 0:11:22.920
<v Speaker 1>crew back and the same schemes, and I think you

0:11:22.920 --> 0:11:25.360
<v Speaker 1>saw how that paid off. So it's definitely a plus

0:11:25.360 --> 0:11:28.719
<v Speaker 1>for the Bucks. Don't don't get used to it, though,

0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:31.400
<v Speaker 1>because I'm not sure that's gonna last that long. Uh.

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>We're also asked, who do you think is the successor

0:11:34.800 --> 0:11:40.520
<v Speaker 1>after Brady. I don't think we can answer that question yet, because,

0:11:40.520 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>first of all, how many years are we talking about,

0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:44.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he seems to be motivated to play beyond

0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:47.680
<v Speaker 1>two years. That would require another contract for that to

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:50.520
<v Speaker 1>happen in Tampa, UM, but a lot can happen between

0:11:50.559 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>them and now the Bucks could use a draft pick

0:11:52.160 --> 0:11:55.840
<v Speaker 1>on a quarterback certainly. UM coach Arians did talk about

0:11:55.840 --> 0:11:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Blaine Gabbert the other day though, how much he thinks,

0:11:58.120 --> 0:12:00.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, he could, how highly he thinks of him,

0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>and that's a possibility. I mean, we are talking about

0:12:03.640 --> 0:12:06.199
<v Speaker 1>a former very high first round pick. So we've all

0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.559
<v Speaker 1>seen his arm, talent on the field. He played well

0:12:08.600 --> 0:12:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in that stint that he had in Detroit. I don't

0:12:10.480 --> 0:12:12.400
<v Speaker 1>know if that's a big enough sample to really you know,

0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>know what you got, but I think there's a lot

0:12:15.200 --> 0:12:18.760
<v Speaker 1>of confidence in him. And Jared asked, do you see

0:12:18.760 --> 0:12:21.200
<v Speaker 1>the Rams as being the biggest challenger in the NFC

0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:26.160
<v Speaker 1>next season? I think that would. I think I'd have

0:12:26.200 --> 0:12:27.800
<v Speaker 1>to go with Green Bay to be honest with you.

0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I mean, what they were the team standing there at

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:33.440
<v Speaker 1>the end with the Buccaneers. They had the first they

0:12:33.440 --> 0:12:35.199
<v Speaker 1>had the home field advantage in the first round. By

0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:37.400
<v Speaker 1>I know, the Rams have an excellent defense and now

0:12:37.440 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>they have Matt Stafford. Um that you know, they're definitely

0:12:40.760 --> 0:12:43.040
<v Speaker 1>gonna be a top continder. I would think, um, but

0:12:43.160 --> 0:12:45.880
<v Speaker 1>I think I would go with Green Bay first. Um,

0:12:45.920 --> 0:12:47.719
<v Speaker 1>and then we'll close with this one. Richard asked, if

0:12:47.760 --> 0:12:50.320
<v Speaker 1>we do get a chance to resign most of our guys,

0:12:50.400 --> 0:12:55.160
<v Speaker 1>what would you say is the biggest need on the team.

0:12:55.200 --> 0:12:59.839
<v Speaker 1>I think probably not just next year, but moving forward,

0:12:59.880 --> 0:13:03.040
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers could use some help on the edges on defense.

0:13:03.080 --> 0:13:06.520
<v Speaker 1>You know, some edge rushers or a you know, one

0:13:06.520 --> 0:13:08.839
<v Speaker 1>guy that you could develop into a special player. Uh.

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.679
<v Speaker 1>That's not easy to get when you're picking as low

0:13:10.720 --> 0:13:14.640
<v Speaker 1>as thirty two though, so UM. Otherwise, I don't know,

0:13:14.679 --> 0:13:16.920
<v Speaker 1>there's they're just not glaring needs, right I mean the

0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>offensive Yeah, the offensive line is in great shape. Maybe

0:13:21.240 --> 0:13:25.000
<v Speaker 1>you want another, uh inside linebacker to start preparing for

0:13:25.040 --> 0:13:27.439
<v Speaker 1>the hopefully not too soon days when you don't have

0:13:27.800 --> 0:13:30.439
<v Speaker 1>Lavante David, But I don't know he should be around

0:13:30.440 --> 0:13:33.520
<v Speaker 1>for a while. It's a pretty solid roster up and down,

0:13:33.559 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 1>so you know, a dynamic kick returner would be nice,

0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 1>but that's not something you're gonna go after in the

0:13:38.640 --> 0:13:41.120
<v Speaker 1>first round. I don't think so. I think this feels

0:13:41.200 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>like the same question is what should the Bucks go

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.559
<v Speaker 1>after in the first round? And to me, the probably

0:13:45.600 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>the best way to go is is outside linebacker edge rusher. Right,

0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, well that's gonna do it it for us. On

0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>this edition of Buccaneers Inside Er Live presented by Miller Light,
