WEBVTT - Bucs Offseason Updates, Pro Bowl Preview | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.960 --> 0:00:09.200
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Bucks Insider, presented by Verizon. Casey Phillips here

0:00:09.200 --> 0:00:11.479
<v Speaker 1>with senior writer and editor Scott Smith, and we are

0:00:11.480 --> 0:00:14.440
<v Speaker 1>getting into our off season versions of these shows. But man,

0:00:14.920 --> 0:00:16.759
<v Speaker 1>we have plenty to talk about. Just because the season's

0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:19.440
<v Speaker 1>over did not mean we were hurting for content here. Yeah,

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>on this edition of Insider, I had some developments, some developments,

0:00:22.480 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>that is a way of putting it. We will start

0:00:24.000 --> 0:00:27.040
<v Speaker 1>with a very sad one for us. Happy for him,

0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:30.600
<v Speaker 1>coach Canalis leaving to go to the Panthers. Incredible opportunity

0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.040
<v Speaker 1>for him, which is wonderful, But I know all of

0:00:32.120 --> 0:00:34.280
<v Speaker 1>us here are very sad to see him go. Great coach,

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:36.720
<v Speaker 1>even better guy to work around and be around, in

0:00:36.800 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>a great family, and just very excited for them. But

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>all of us here very sad.

0:00:40.360 --> 0:00:44.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's bittersweet for us obviously because I think he

0:00:44.560 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 2>said but it's twofold.

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:45.839
<v Speaker 1>No.

0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 2>I think he did a great job and heading remained

0:00:47.960 --> 0:00:50.280
<v Speaker 2>in that post as our offensive coordinator. I think it

0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 2>would have just got better and better. Very talented guy, obviously,

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 2>but also a guy that grew to like very very

0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:58.520
<v Speaker 2>much in just one season. So it's sorry to see

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:00.800
<v Speaker 2>him go. But when you are find of a person,

0:01:01.200 --> 0:01:03.960
<v Speaker 2>you want to see them live their dreams. You know,

0:01:04.760 --> 0:01:06.720
<v Speaker 2>I note was his dream. He said he'd prepared for it,

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 2>and obviously prepared well because the Panthers interviewed a lot

0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:14.399
<v Speaker 2>of people, and I don't think two months ago Dave's

0:01:14.440 --> 0:01:16.800
<v Speaker 2>name was being mentioned in the same level as like

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 2>Ben McDonald or somebody like that, and so for him

0:01:20.120 --> 0:01:22.319
<v Speaker 2>to be the one that went in and got the

0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:26.240
<v Speaker 2>job suggests that he really interviewed very well, which is

0:01:26.319 --> 0:01:27.880
<v Speaker 2>as knowing him, we're not say.

0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:30.400
<v Speaker 1>Anybody's watched any of his Prescofference says, we can understand

0:01:30.440 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of what it probably was like.

0:01:31.800 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 2>So good for him. It's hard to say we wish

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:37.240
<v Speaker 2>him the best since it's the Panthers beat the Saints.

0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:38.600
<v Speaker 2>Can you do that for us? Beat the Saints?

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>There we go, that's what we can ask for. And

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.399
<v Speaker 1>then not only is he leaving, but typically the way

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.200
<v Speaker 1>this goes is as either coordinators get hired or head

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:47.360
<v Speaker 1>coaches get hired, they tend to, you know, they start

0:01:47.360 --> 0:01:48.920
<v Speaker 1>working on their staff and it tends to be a

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:51.360
<v Speaker 1>lot of people they have worked with in the past,

0:01:51.400 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and that's how that works. And so it looks like

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.680
<v Speaker 1>a few other Buck staff members are leaving to go

0:01:55.760 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>join coach Canalisis, which.

0:01:57.200 --> 0:01:59.040
<v Speaker 2>Worked out for all of them because some of these

0:01:59.040 --> 0:02:01.240
<v Speaker 2>guys there were on expiring contracts, so they could have

0:02:01.240 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 2>stayed here but had new deals, but there was nothing

0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 2>blocking them from following, and I think the Buccaneers wished

0:02:07.360 --> 0:02:12.160
<v Speaker 2>them well. Harold Goodwin following him, Joe Gilbert, those two

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:15.080
<v Speaker 2>have been officially announced by the Panthers. It's only reported

0:02:15.080 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 2>so far that brad Izac will be Dave's OC, but

0:02:18.720 --> 0:02:21.079
<v Speaker 2>given how close we know those two are, that seems

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:24.440
<v Speaker 2>very very believable. So the Buccaneers have some vacancies on

0:02:24.440 --> 0:02:25.919
<v Speaker 2>their staff that they need to fill out.

0:02:26.120 --> 0:02:29.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, especially the Harold Goodwin and Joe Gilbert ones. They

0:02:29.120 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 1>were the big, a huge part of the running game.

0:02:32.120 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>That It's not Skip Pete who was the running back coach,

0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 1>but it was Harold Goodwin was your run game coordinator?

0:02:38.880 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>Joe Gilbert, where's your offensive line coach? And we saw

0:02:40.880 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 1>how much progress the run game had been making this year.

0:02:43.400 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>And so I think that's going to be a really

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.320
<v Speaker 1>interesting thing to track this offseason of who replaces them

0:02:47.400 --> 0:02:50.320
<v Speaker 1>and how they're able to try to keep that momentum

0:02:50.320 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>that had been built.

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.919
<v Speaker 2>It's an interesting dynamic though, because and I'm not saying

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:55.720
<v Speaker 2>in any way that there was any problems in the

0:02:55.720 --> 0:02:58.200
<v Speaker 2>relationship between Todd Bowles and those coaches, but he didn't

0:02:58.240 --> 0:03:01.400
<v Speaker 2>choose those coaches. Those were Bruce Aaron coaches. He inherited

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.720
<v Speaker 2>most of this coaching staff. So it to be interesting

0:03:03.760 --> 0:03:06.080
<v Speaker 2>to see what sort of connections out there, because Todd's

0:03:06.120 --> 0:03:07.640
<v Speaker 2>been in the game for a long time, he had

0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.120
<v Speaker 2>some connections who's out there who he would pick to

0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:11.240
<v Speaker 2>put in those positions.

0:03:11.360 --> 0:03:13.280
<v Speaker 1>And so of course now the attention for the box

0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>turns to replacing first coach Canalis, obviously, because then now

0:03:16.840 --> 0:03:18.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll determine a lot of these other positions as well.

0:03:18.960 --> 0:03:20.960
<v Speaker 1>So what do we know about who the team has

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>talked to and who some of the candidates are that

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>are out there.

0:03:23.040 --> 0:03:25.400
<v Speaker 2>Well, I didn't wait very long because coach Canals was

0:03:25.480 --> 0:03:29.000
<v Speaker 2>hired by the Panthers last Thursday, and then on Friday,

0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 2>the Bucks did the first interview for OC. It had

0:03:31.639 --> 0:03:33.720
<v Speaker 2>to be a virtual one because it was with Antoine

0:03:33.760 --> 0:03:37.360
<v Speaker 2>randelll who was here briefly started his coaching career here

0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 2>and he's the Detroit lines wide receivers coach, and last

0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Friday they were still in it. You know, they're preparing

0:03:43.920 --> 0:03:45.760
<v Speaker 2>for the NFC Championship Games, so that one had to

0:03:45.760 --> 0:03:48.960
<v Speaker 2>be virtual. And then today, I mean this week, to

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 2>get things started, they've done in person interviews at the

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:54.520
<v Speaker 2>advent Held Training Center with Alex van Pelt, who was

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:59.360
<v Speaker 2>most recently the Cleveland Browns offensive coordinator, Gerrod Johnson, who

0:03:59.400 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 2>is the Houston quarterbacks coach, which means he worked with C. J. Stroud,

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:03.840
<v Speaker 2>so he did a good job. That one's off the

0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:06.000
<v Speaker 2>books now though, because he got a promotion and a

0:04:06.120 --> 0:04:10.960
<v Speaker 2>raise to stay with the Texans. Brian Johnson, formerly the

0:04:10.960 --> 0:04:14.840
<v Speaker 2>Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator, and Thad Lewis the first in

0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.680
<v Speaker 2>house candidate. That's the quarterbacks coach, who I know everybody

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.400
<v Speaker 2>over at one Buck is very fond of. I think

0:04:19.440 --> 0:04:21.400
<v Speaker 2>he's done a really nice job and obviously he worked

0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:23.720
<v Speaker 2>very well with Baker Mayfield. Now there have been some

0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.800
<v Speaker 2>other reported connections. I think we're going to keep seeing

0:04:28.279 --> 0:04:30.200
<v Speaker 2>several more interviews before this is all said and done,

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:31.919
<v Speaker 2>but those are the ones the team has confirmed so far.

0:04:32.040 --> 0:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we remember Coach Bowls interviewed a lot of people

0:04:33.880 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>before choosing Canalis, so it does not seem surprising that

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>he would do the same thing.

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:38.640
<v Speaker 2>Well, it makes sense to cast a wide net.

0:04:38.720 --> 0:04:40.919
<v Speaker 1>Yes, absolutely, and then you brought up Mayfield. We have

0:04:41.000 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>some great news when it comes to both Baker Mayfield

0:04:43.440 --> 0:04:45.880
<v Speaker 1>and Tristan Wurf's So tell us what happened this week.

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:48.120
<v Speaker 2>They were both named to the Pro Bowl roster. We

0:04:48.200 --> 0:04:50.600
<v Speaker 2>knew they were high alternate, so this was a possibility.

0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:55.679
<v Speaker 2>Worse specifically replaces Trent Williams because he's in the Super Bowl,

0:04:55.960 --> 0:05:00.760
<v Speaker 2>and Baker specifically replaces Dak Prescott, who I think is

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:03.800
<v Speaker 2>playing maybe not playing due to injury, And by playing

0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:06.560
<v Speaker 2>is a bit of an exaggeration because Tristan won't even

0:05:06.560 --> 0:05:09.200
<v Speaker 2>play I imagine in a flag football game, and Baker

0:05:09.200 --> 0:05:11.279
<v Speaker 2>will play. I guess Mike Emans is not going to

0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.480
<v Speaker 2>play due to injury. I don't think it's anything serious,

0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.200
<v Speaker 2>but he's actually he's a Pro bowler. He still counsel

0:05:16.200 --> 0:05:18.560
<v Speaker 2>as a Pro bowler, but he's not going. So Tristan

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.280
<v Speaker 2>is that's his third Pro Bowl and it's pretty cool

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.920
<v Speaker 2>that he won two Pro Bowl earned two Pro Bowls

0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.280
<v Speaker 2>as a right tackle. Made the switch this this year

0:05:26.320 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 2>to left tackle and is still in the Pro Bowl.

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:31.279
<v Speaker 2>And that's three Pro Bowls in four seasons, and honestly,

0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.000
<v Speaker 2>as a rookie he probably was deserving, but he ties

0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Mike alstat that's the most Pro Bowl invitations in the

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 2>first four seasons of a buccaneer player's career. That's pretty cool, huh.

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.320
<v Speaker 2>And then even the ones that too, is a pretty

0:05:44.360 --> 0:05:45.440
<v Speaker 2>exclusive and cool list.

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.880
<v Speaker 1>That is really great. Maybe I feel like a future

0:05:47.960 --> 0:05:49.880
<v Speaker 1>article for you could be how many players make Pro

0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Bowls at different positions.

0:05:51.120 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 2>It's just hard to look up. I'm sure I know

0:05:53.200 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 2>he's not the first, because I knew off the top

0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 2>of my head Orlando Brown had done it. But I've

0:05:58.040 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 2>even talked to some of the other reporters about that

0:05:59.839 --> 0:06:02.280
<v Speaker 2>very topic. Yeah, it's a really difficult thing to rehearse.

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 2>It's some I mean research. Some things, your research you

0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:07.600
<v Speaker 2>just have to figure out how and get the right

0:06:07.640 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>parameters and it goes quickly. Some things you have to

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:13.320
<v Speaker 2>do by blunt force, just going year years. It's not

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:14.280
<v Speaker 2>worth it to me, to be honest.

0:06:14.760 --> 0:06:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, forget that.

0:06:15.240 --> 0:06:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I started to get Yeah, nobody, nobody, no articles.

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:20.560
<v Speaker 1>There, and then Baker Mayfield not only got the honor

0:06:20.600 --> 0:06:22.000
<v Speaker 1>of getting to play in the Pro Bowl. But he

0:06:22.040 --> 0:06:23.960
<v Speaker 1>got another honor as well. But I think everyone here

0:06:24.000 --> 0:06:25.320
<v Speaker 1>thinks he's very deserving.

0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:29.360
<v Speaker 2>Most Improved Player by Pro Football Writers Association or of America.

0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.440
<v Speaker 2>I'm not sure which one it is. And then he

0:06:31.480 --> 0:06:33.719
<v Speaker 2>also is one of the five candidates for a Comeback

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.520
<v Speaker 2>Player of the Year, which we'll find out in the

0:06:35.560 --> 0:06:39.719
<v Speaker 2>NFL Honors show. But yeah, he obviously deserves that honor.

0:06:39.760 --> 0:06:41.279
<v Speaker 2>I didn't even know that honor existed, to be honest

0:06:41.320 --> 0:06:42.080
<v Speaker 2>with you, that aword, but.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:43.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we had to come back a lot.

0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:45.000
<v Speaker 2>But I haven't heard the most of most Improved. But

0:06:45.000 --> 0:06:47.120
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of neat. And if you look at his

0:06:47.200 --> 0:06:50.279
<v Speaker 2>numbers from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three, you

0:06:50.320 --> 0:06:52.680
<v Speaker 2>can see why. And you know, twenty twenty two he

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 2>had been traded by the Browns to the Panthers because

0:06:56.520 --> 0:07:00.280
<v Speaker 2>the Browns traded for Deshaun Watson and and so rid

0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:03.240
<v Speaker 2>of Baker, and then it wasn't a great situation in Carolina.

0:07:03.320 --> 0:07:05.200
<v Speaker 2>Matt Ruhle he got fired I don't know, five or

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:08.880
<v Speaker 2>six games in the season, and then they had rotating

0:07:08.920 --> 0:07:13.480
<v Speaker 2>quarterbacks in Carolina, and eventually the Panthers who were having

0:07:13.480 --> 0:07:15.560
<v Speaker 2>a terrible season, waived him in December, he got picked

0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:18.040
<v Speaker 2>up by the Rams, had one really great game right

0:07:18.080 --> 0:07:19.840
<v Speaker 2>after he got there, and one Player of the Week.

0:07:20.560 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>But overall, when you put all the numbers together for

0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:26.000
<v Speaker 2>that season and then compare him to this season, I mean,

0:07:26.040 --> 0:07:27.920
<v Speaker 2>I think the most important thing is the very top

0:07:28.040 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>mark that top line up there the starting record two

0:07:30.520 --> 0:07:32.480
<v Speaker 2>and eight to nine and eight. But every number he

0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:34.600
<v Speaker 2>improved in and if you look at the difference of

0:07:34.600 --> 0:07:38.040
<v Speaker 2>the passer rating, that's quite impressive, incredible. It was a

0:07:38.040 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>great season. And you know, I don't know how to

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.280
<v Speaker 2>feel about most improved because he probably would think. I mean,

0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:45.760
<v Speaker 2>if you'l could twenty twenty he has very similar numbers

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 2>to twenty twenty three when he was with the Browns

0:07:47.440 --> 0:07:49.960
<v Speaker 2>and took them to the playoffs. So it's almost more

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:54.520
<v Speaker 2>like rebound right to the level of play that he

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.480
<v Speaker 2>knew he could get to.

0:07:56.240 --> 0:07:58.040
<v Speaker 1>So I know that one of the things this time

0:07:58.080 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 1>of year is always we're wondering who's going to be

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>part of the team this next year when his free

0:08:01.560 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>agency start. One of the probably least paid attention to

0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>parts of that is the practice squad. But this is

0:08:06.840 --> 0:08:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the time of year that we do find out a

0:08:08.000 --> 0:08:09.960
<v Speaker 1>lot about who's coming back, and we've seen that can

0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:11.680
<v Speaker 1>be an incredibly important part of the team in terms

0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:13.400
<v Speaker 1>of not just getting your starters ready, but guys that

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.560
<v Speaker 1>can get called up and end up playing some big roles,

0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:18.680
<v Speaker 1>especially if there's injury or things going on. So what

0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:20.360
<v Speaker 1>do we know about who will be coming back in

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>terms of the futures contract?

0:08:21.760 --> 0:08:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, so the and you're right. A lot of times

0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:27.680
<v Speaker 2>a guy like say Jose Ramiers, the sixth round guy

0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.800
<v Speaker 2>Edge that we drafted, he ended up on the practice

0:08:30.800 --> 0:08:32.240
<v Speaker 2>squad this year and spent the whole year on the

0:08:32.280 --> 0:08:36.160
<v Speaker 2>practice squad, but he can definitely, you know, rise next

0:08:36.240 --> 0:08:38.319
<v Speaker 2>year to the roster potentially depending on who's here and

0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:41.520
<v Speaker 2>who's not and how much he improves. And fee look

0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.520
<v Speaker 2>at Mike Green, same thing. We resigned him after a

0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:45.880
<v Speaker 2>year on the practice squad and then he made the

0:08:45.880 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 2>active roster this past year, even started a couple games.

0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:52.480
<v Speaker 2>So reserve future contracts are contracts that you sign like

0:08:52.600 --> 0:08:55.520
<v Speaker 2>right now in January, but they take effect in twenty

0:08:55.559 --> 0:08:57.120
<v Speaker 2>twenty four. It just means you don't have to wait

0:08:57.520 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 2>and you can get those guys back right away, but

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.640
<v Speaker 2>they don't affect the salary cap right now. They've applied

0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.319
<v Speaker 2>to twenty twenty four and the Bucks re signed fourteen

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:10.120
<v Speaker 2>of the sixteen guys that were on their practice squad

0:09:10.200 --> 0:09:11.880
<v Speaker 2>at the end of the season, and there may be

0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:15.280
<v Speaker 2>there may he might eventually resign the other two as well,

0:09:15.320 --> 0:09:18.000
<v Speaker 2>but for now it's guys like Hoser Ramirez, David Wells.

0:09:18.040 --> 0:09:20.120
<v Speaker 2>Remember he started the year on the active roster as

0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:24.160
<v Speaker 2>one of the tight ends. Keenan Isaac, a cornerback that

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>they played a little bit. Evan Decker is the long

0:09:26.360 --> 0:09:28.520
<v Speaker 2>staffer that they signed last year out of college out

0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:31.439
<v Speaker 2>of Duke is back, so maybe he'll be pressing Zach

0:09:31.480 --> 0:09:34.319
<v Speaker 2>Trinner potentially for the job. And then one we did

0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:37.080
<v Speaker 2>sign a handful of guys from other teams or just

0:09:37.120 --> 0:09:39.960
<v Speaker 2>off the roster. One interesting one is a young man

0:09:40.040 --> 0:09:44.640
<v Speaker 2>named lual You Gouick. I practiced that luell you Gouick.

0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:47.959
<v Speaker 2>He's he's from Canada. His family is originally from Sudan.

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 2>He was born in Canada and he's played a little

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 2>bit in the CFL, but this is the first time

0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 2>he signed with anybody in the NFL. He's a defensive tackle,

0:09:56.320 --> 0:09:59.840
<v Speaker 2>so it'll just be interesting to see. Yeah, what's because

0:09:59.840 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 2>he it's not often that a guy his first time

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.040
<v Speaker 2>signed by an NFL team is in January.

0:10:04.160 --> 0:10:06.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's really interesting. That'll be fun to watch. And

0:10:06.320 --> 0:10:08.120
<v Speaker 1>then I know we're going to close with this For

0:10:08.160 --> 0:10:10.840
<v Speaker 1>the next several weeks. We're gonna pick a different position

0:10:10.960 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>each week to look at of the draft in terms

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.080
<v Speaker 1>of is this something that we feel like the team

0:10:15.160 --> 0:10:18.040
<v Speaker 1>could be targeting as we turn our attention to the

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.440
<v Speaker 1>draft and the offseason. So tell us the first position

0:10:20.480 --> 0:10:22.280
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to address and see if this is something

0:10:22.320 --> 0:10:22.920
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks metage.

0:10:22.960 --> 0:10:24.439
<v Speaker 2>Right, So the Bucks are picking twenty six in the

0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.400
<v Speaker 2>first round, so when I talk about potentially addressing this

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:29.840
<v Speaker 2>in draft, I'm talking high maybe this pick, maybe second round,

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:33.560
<v Speaker 2>something like that. And we haven't made a real deep

0:10:33.600 --> 0:10:36.440
<v Speaker 2>dive into the draft yet. I haven't done a single

0:10:36.480 --> 0:10:38.199
<v Speaker 2>mock draft. So this is more just like each week

0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:40.120
<v Speaker 2>we're gonna look at a position and see what's the

0:10:40.160 --> 0:10:42.400
<v Speaker 2>state of that with the Bucks, maybe draft something at

0:10:42.440 --> 0:10:45.560
<v Speaker 2>that spot high. The Bucks did get to forty eight

0:10:45.600 --> 0:10:48.640
<v Speaker 2>sacks this season, which is the third most in the

0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>season in team history. Yet I would still say, do

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.720
<v Speaker 2>we have that star edg dresser that can get you

0:10:54.880 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 2>twelve sacks, fourteen sacks in the season, and I think

0:10:58.120 --> 0:10:59.880
<v Speaker 2>you know, yeah, yah Yabi the rookie who had a

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.360
<v Speaker 2>eight rookie season led the team in sacks, which is awesome,

0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:05.480
<v Speaker 2>especially out of the third round. So that's a nice

0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.840
<v Speaker 2>piece right there. But seven point five sacks as your

0:11:07.880 --> 0:11:09.800
<v Speaker 2>sack leader, you'd probably like to see that be a

0:11:09.840 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>little bit higher, right And we last year was six

0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:16.000
<v Speaker 2>point five by Vida Veas. So the Buccaneers got a

0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:18.720
<v Speaker 2>lot of sacks, but it's almost by committee. They had

0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:20.559
<v Speaker 2>nine different players have at least two and a half sacks,

0:11:20.600 --> 0:11:23.240
<v Speaker 2>and that includes some safeties and some linebackers, and so

0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:27.599
<v Speaker 2>it all added up to a good sack number. And

0:11:27.880 --> 0:11:30.800
<v Speaker 2>the Buccaneers were tied for the most players on a

0:11:30.800 --> 0:11:32.079
<v Speaker 2>team this year they had at least two and a

0:11:32.120 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 2>half sacks, and that's good and it also speaks to

0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>Todd Bowles's play calling prowess. But I still think it's

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.600
<v Speaker 2>possible that the Buccaneers would be interested if maybe a

0:11:41.600 --> 0:11:43.880
<v Speaker 2>guy like Chop Robinson from Penn State or something like

0:11:43.920 --> 0:11:45.120
<v Speaker 2>that makes it to twenty sixth.

0:11:45.200 --> 0:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, that's going to be interesting to see all right,

0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>that's going to do it for us on this edition

0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:51.240
