Welcome everybody to the 0:01:20.640 --> 0:01:25.280 Salty Dogs Podcast, our second one. Yeah, preseason stuff, preseason. 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:27.280 I'm Scott Smith, I'm Jeff Ryan, and we are the 0:01:27.280 --> 0:01:28.520 Salty Dogs. Yes we are. 0:01:28.800 --> 0:01:31.319 And had we not been in New Jersey and things 0:01:31.440 --> 0:01:33.520 shifting around, we would have done one up there, but 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:34.640 it just got too crazy. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:37.360 Yeah. Yeah, there was reasons to be salty up there. 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.920 Yeah. I think I was on a bus more than 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.440 I really wanted to. I'm just saying, Yeah, it was. 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.000 Funny because the change of plans and we the Giants 0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:47.560 were gracious enough to let us do our second practice 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:48.840 because we were going to do it on a high 0:01:48.840 --> 0:01:52.880 school field nearby. Their facility like ours is really nice 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:54.960 and it was nice to them. Let's come out and use it. 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.160 But it was a long bus ride, yes, longer than 0:01:57.160 --> 0:01:57.680 it would have been. 0:01:58.040 --> 0:01:59.480 Yes, So it's a bit of a giving you know. 0:01:59.680 --> 0:02:01.320 You know, it's a long bus ride when you can 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:02.600 see Manhattan from the. 0:02:04.720 --> 0:02:05.320 It was fun. 0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:06.360 It was a good week up there. 0:02:06.560 --> 0:02:09.320 You enjoy your week up there. I didn't do anything really. 0:02:09.400 --> 0:02:11.400 I spent when I wasn't working, I was in my 0:02:11.440 --> 0:02:16.200 hotel room time, read a book. This is really good. 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:18.560 Podcasting like this is really exciting for people, but. 0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.239 You have to understand it when you're on the road 0:02:20.240 --> 0:02:22.959 and you're facing another I watched a Little League World Series. 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.480 I did that also, I read a book. 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:27.560 I was rooting for Tennessee because of the Southeast, for 0:02:27.600 --> 0:02:28.560 the Southeast. 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:31.960 Yeah, I was. I was very fortunate. I actually I 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:35.240 actually had a fun Friday afternoon. I got to go 0:02:35.280 --> 0:02:38.920 play golf and had a real nice dinner. So, you know, 0:02:39.160 --> 0:02:41.200 through it all, it was great. Yes, it was very good. 0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:45.160 But I did like I did like the the practice 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:47.160 with the Jets. I thought that was a lot of fun. 0:02:47.200 --> 0:02:50.120 I think the Jet fans are so into it right now. 0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:52.760 I just hope they're not disappointed. 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:55.760 Boy, I'll tell you what. They are excited. They love obviously, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.760 the love Aaron Rodgers. They love themselves, some Garrett Willes. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:02.320 Oh yeah, I mean they anytime Garrett Wilson did anything, 0:03:02.400 --> 0:03:03.639 the crowd went crazy. 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:06.200 And I loved the chance they were doing there there 0:03:06.200 --> 0:03:06.880 they were all in. 0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.480 It was it was a good and useful practice. Unfortunately 0:03:10.560 --> 0:03:13.240 it had one bad moment. One of the two big 0:03:13.280 --> 0:03:15.120 pieces of news. Obviously the quarterback is the other thing 0:03:15.120 --> 0:03:19.720 that's sure about. But before that happened, Russell Gage non contact, 0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:24.080 didn't contact injury actually actually, according to Mike Evans, made 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:26.240 a really nice catch on them play but just went down. 0:03:27.120 --> 0:03:29.080 Found out later it was a torn Peteller tendon. So 0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:32.440 his season is over and that is he is. You know, 0:03:32.560 --> 0:03:35.040 this was not an injury prone player we signed him. 0:03:35.040 --> 0:03:37.440 I think he missed four games in four years in Atlanta. Yep, 0:03:37.560 --> 0:03:40.480 he just had terrible lucks. Horrible. I mean, this is 0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.200 the worst one. Of course, maybe the maybe the neck 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:46.120 injury in the concussion in the playoffs was scarier, But 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.040 this is the one that's having the most impact because 0:03:48.040 --> 0:03:49.680 he's missing the whole season. Yeah, such a shame. 0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:53.480 It really and and he really uh he had talked 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:56.800 to us at training camp talking about how this was 0:03:56.840 --> 0:04:00.040 his year to reinvent himself, to be all in and 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:00.920 then that happens. 0:04:00.960 --> 0:04:04.520 What I wonder about and obviously the worst of it 0:04:04.560 --> 0:04:08.560 here is is for Russell so everything else is less important. 0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.440 But what I wonder about is the domino effect here 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:14.360 of not having him because Russell didn't start. He wasn't 0:04:14.400 --> 0:04:16.599 practicing when training kept started because he was overcoming a 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:19.440 hamstring injury. But once he got back going full speed 0:04:19.480 --> 0:04:22.520 and was doing team drills, he was definitely the third 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:25.200 receiver with Mike Evans and Chris Godwin that they would 0:04:25.200 --> 0:04:27.279 come in together most of the time as a package, 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.960 and often Russell Gage was in the slot. And now 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:33.839 we've heard a lot since this new co offensive coaching 0:04:33.839 --> 0:04:38.480 staff got here that Chris Godwin, who's a beast in 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:40.160 the slot, it's still going to play in the slot, 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:41.800 but not as much because they want to do stuff 0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.480 with him on the outside. Sure where they think there's 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.719 untapped potential or it's been tapped before, but not in 0:04:45.760 --> 0:04:49.479 recent years. So if Russell Gage was supposed to be 0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:53.000 the guy that's taken those slot snaps, who's going to 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.240 be now? Is it possible they change their plans with 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.200 Chris I that's I'm talking about a donal here. They 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:00.600 this might force them to play Chris Godwin more in 0:05:00.640 --> 0:05:04.200 the slot. I'm kind of hoping not. Obviously, the receiver 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.320 that stepped up the most amongst all the other candidates 0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:10.159 that you would think might get more playing time with 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.120 Russell Gage Odds. Trey Palmer, I'm not sure he's a 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:15.680 slot guy though, I think he's more of an outside 0:05:15.680 --> 0:05:18.159 take the top off the defense kind of go correct. Actually, 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:21.040 there's a really good article. This is one of two 0:05:21.080 --> 0:05:24.520 times I'm gonna plug our colleague Brianna Dix. But on 0:05:24.560 --> 0:05:26.359 buccaneers dot Com there's a nice article with a lot 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:29.359 of quotes from Brad Idzach, the wide receivers coach, on 0:05:29.560 --> 0:05:34.279 Trey Palmer, and I would I would suggest you read it. 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.120 It's great. It's funny because Brad says he's the entertainer 0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:40.880 in the room. He's the guy that's joking they laugh. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:45.040 But he's also a really good student, like he's just 0:05:45.160 --> 0:05:48.159 he's really good at absorbing the playbook. And so Brad 0:05:48.240 --> 0:05:51.040 was also talking about how obviously speed is his best 0:05:51.080 --> 0:05:53.880 asset and he can win deep. 0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:57.240 I like what he said today after practice that when 0:05:57.240 --> 0:05:59.320 he sees the ball, that's always looking at is the 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:00.960 ball doesn't care who's defending him. 0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:03.599 It doesn't. He have this his little phrase, his motto 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:05.320 is like no name, no face. Yeah, it means he 0:06:05.360 --> 0:06:07.600 doesn't he doesn't even think about his covering, right, so, 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:10.679 which I think first came about when he got past 0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:13.600 Sauce Gardner, who might be the best corner in the 0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:17.200 NFL in that Jets game. Now we're not here ripping 0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:19.760 on sast Gardens, a phenomenal player. They were in cover 0:06:19.880 --> 0:06:21.839 zero on that play. He had no safety help and 0:06:21.839 --> 0:06:24.960 and and trasers really fast, so bad play worked out well. 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.839 But Brad Isaac was saying that what he's working with 0:06:28.880 --> 0:06:31.960 him on is making his first five or six steps 0:06:32.240 --> 0:06:36.560 of every route look the same. So because then you 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:39.039 can do well. The first thing a cornerback has to 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:41.159 worry about, which tray is him running right past it? Sure, 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:44.560 so if you always look the same in your first 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:46.279 five or six steps, they're always going to be worried 0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:48.279 about getting beat deep and they're gonna be on their heels. 0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.840 If you're giving away with some of your movements that 0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:52.279 this isn't going to be a deep rod, it's gonna 0:06:52.279 --> 0:06:55.360 be a slant sh I'm sure, then they're more prepared 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.440 to jump on that. So if he can make those 0:06:57.480 --> 0:07:00.400 first five or six steps look the same, his is 0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:05.400 actually useful even on like short routes. That's that's because 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.000 it gets them on their heels and then you can 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:07.960 run like a you know. 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.880 Like a square in or some Yeah, that's a great tidbit, 0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.320 yea to be looking at that. 0:07:11.360 --> 0:07:12.560 Well, I mean, I think that's the case for a 0:07:12.600 --> 0:07:14.320 lot of receivers. Sure, you don't want to give away 0:07:14.320 --> 0:07:16.920 all your intentions, because that's your advantage over the defender, 0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:19.200 is that you know where you're going and they don't. 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.840 Right right there you go, unless it's an option route, 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:23.840 which says you don't necessarily know where you're going until 0:07:23.880 --> 0:07:27.200 the last second. But I was I find options. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:28.280 So you corrected yourself right now. 0:07:28.360 --> 0:07:30.440 Well, I'm just saying option ruts, you know what I mean. Like, Yeah, 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.760 they get to the line and they release, and depending 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:37.080 upon where the defender is, they might go in or out. Sure, 0:07:37.280 --> 0:07:40.520 And I've always found that fascinating because if you're if 0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:42.560 you're using option routes, which I think we are going 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.520 to use in this defense because they did in the offense, 0:07:44.560 --> 0:07:47.640 because they did in Seattle and I saw him practicing 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:51.440 them the other day. You and the quarterback have to 0:07:51.480 --> 0:07:53.280 make the same decision. You have to read it the 0:07:53.280 --> 0:07:56.000 same thing. Because that that guy is gonna break in 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.080 and you're gonna throw and if he breaks out, you 0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:01.600 might be thrown it right to his safety. So I 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:04.600 find them fascinating. I'm surprised that it seems so risky 0:08:04.640 --> 0:08:06.240 to me, and I know coaches are risk adverse. 0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.400 It's called it's called being on the same page, so 0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:09.960 to speak. 0:08:10.080 --> 0:08:12.640 Yeah, which I don't think is necessarily. 0:08:12.280 --> 0:08:16.080 No, it's not. No, I'm looking forward. So I don't 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:17.160 know who I was talking to. 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:21.160 Yesterday that it was a long time ago. Yeah. Well, 0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.400 they were just basically saying, well that the offense very memorable. 0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.760 Yeah, it was really because they were saying the offense 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:28.880 looked really vanilla and blah blah blah. Of course it is, 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:30.880 and I'm like, it's perfectly so. 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.559 Yeah. It was like, there's a reason for that. They'll 0:08:34.559 --> 0:08:36.559 say it before the game, unt say it's going to 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:37.240 be a vanilla game. 0:08:37.240 --> 0:08:39.200 Play is the most basic plays there. 0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:41.320 Are as a very good example for this. It was 0:08:41.320 --> 0:08:43.560 something I wanted to touch on. I know that our 0:08:43.600 --> 0:08:46.520 running game doesn't look any better right now, but and 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:49.200 hopefully will be. There's no guarantee there will be. It 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:50.600 was the worse in the league, so I can't really 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:54.360 go any worse last year, but don't judge it on 0:08:54.400 --> 0:08:56.160 what you've seen in the preseason. I don't think they're 0:08:56.160 --> 0:08:59.120 even running the basic plays we're gonna I haven't seen 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.640 anything that look to me like mid zone or wide zone. 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.240 It just looked like trap plays and duo. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.240 You know who I did like watching was Tucker did Yeah, 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:08.640 I did like watching him. 0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:10.720 Right, you know, he's had some good runs. He obviously 0:09:10.720 --> 0:09:12.400 had that one he bounced to the outside and maybe 0:09:12.400 --> 0:09:14.160 that was his own play. I don't know, but a 0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.080 lot of them haven't been what I think is going 0:09:16.120 --> 0:09:17.760 to be the staple of our offense because there's no 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:19.520 reason to put it on tape right now. They can 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:23.320 practice it in practice. So I I'm not here to 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:24.880 tell you I know that our running game is gonna 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:28.959 be good. I think it can't hardly help would be better, 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:32.200 But just telling you not to judge about what you've 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:34.720 seen in these games. Maybe maybe we'll see a little 0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.320 bit in the third game when the starters played the 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:36.880 first half. 0:09:37.160 --> 0:09:39.320 Yeah, a little, but not I don't think a lot, 0:09:39.840 --> 0:09:42.640 simply because you're ten days to Minnesota. 0:09:42.800 --> 0:09:45.200 Anyway. To get back to the point I had started 0:09:45.200 --> 0:09:48.080 with was with h Russell, gage out who's taking the 0:09:48.080 --> 0:09:50.679 snaps in the slot. Maybe Trey Palmer is a guy 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.160 that can play in the slot. I don't really know. 0:09:52.240 --> 0:09:55.120 He doesn't seem like he's that type of receiver. Is 0:09:55.160 --> 0:09:59.079 it Trade? Is it Devin Tompkins? Is it David Moore? Well? 0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:02.719 Yeah, was See that's interesting because David Moore is as a. 0:10:02.679 --> 0:10:04.120 Veteran, the only one. 0:10:04.240 --> 0:10:07.160 Yeah, and the other two are young ones. 0:10:07.240 --> 0:10:10.319 Well, everybody else is either first second player. 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:13.080 And so you know, it's horrible to say, but it's 0:10:13.120 --> 0:10:16.240 always next man up, and you know, what something happens, 0:10:16.280 --> 0:10:17.960 you have to be ready. So it'll be fun to 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:19.600 see who I just does step up. 0:10:19.600 --> 0:10:21.800 I wish I had a good feel for who will 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:25.240 be getting snaps in the slot, and I really honestly 0:10:25.280 --> 0:10:26.600 don't know. I don't know who it is. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:28.920 That's something we're going to watch then on Saturday. 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.560 Keep an eye on it, Okay, I'm gonna make it specifically. Yeah, 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.720 tell Dave because Dave always Dave more. Yeah, tell Dave 0:10:34.800 --> 0:10:36.280 to look for that and then let me know because 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:38.199 he's good at just instantly. 0:10:38.240 --> 0:10:41.760 See who's doing in the slot. Yeah, Okay, I mean 0:10:41.800 --> 0:10:44.880 I can you can you can also tell him when 0:10:44.880 --> 0:10:47.400 you see him when you come into your segment. But okay, 0:10:47.480 --> 0:10:48.240 I'll talk to him. 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.240 So I what are we How many minutes are we 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:52.280 into this podcast? 0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:52.520 Ten? 0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.680 And we have not? Well? First of two things, okay, 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:59.560 I only have one fan question for our final segments 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.040 to be brief, and I think it's partially because I 0:11:02.120 --> 0:11:05.240 keep forgetting to say at the top correct send us questions. Yeah, 0:11:05.280 --> 0:11:08.120 we love your questions. Well, we usually answer all of them. 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.800 Are close to all then sure, send it to Salty 0:11:10.880 --> 0:11:15.920 Dogs at Buccaneers dot NFL dot com. We love to 0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:18.760 hear from you. We love that's the third Segment's awesome 0:11:18.800 --> 0:11:19.920 where we answer these questions. 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.480 That's my that's my favorite sec. 0:11:21.720 --> 0:11:23.080 Is it other than to the interview? 0:11:23.200 --> 0:11:25.520 Yeah, other than talking to the interview. And my least 0:11:25.520 --> 0:11:26.240 favorite one. 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:31.839 Is this part, Yes, talking to me? So we also 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:34.200 are going to have d Delaney on yes, who I'm 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.520 going to surprise him. I have thought of a nickname 0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.560 for him. Don't you say anything, I'm not. I'm not. 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:39.760 I think it's good man. 0:11:39.760 --> 0:11:41.360 If it's coming from that, I. 0:11:41.360 --> 0:11:42.800 Think you could get a tattoo of it. 0:11:42.960 --> 0:11:45.000 You are a wordsmith, so it should be interesting. 0:11:45.280 --> 0:11:47.400 So and then finally, oh, I. 0:11:47.320 --> 0:11:49.200 Wanted to say something about make sure you send your 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:51.880 questions in because if you don't, they're going to take 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.440 that email address away from us because they're cleaning up 0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:56.040 all the emails that aren't being used. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:59.200 Yeah, well it's it's getting some Yeah, I mean I 0:11:59.200 --> 0:12:00.480 still get spams sometimes. 0:12:00.480 --> 0:12:04.080 Oh great, perfect, Maybe we could talk to them. 0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.600 So well, I also got an email. I'm not going 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.400 to read it because it wasn't really a question, but 0:12:09.400 --> 0:12:11.880 do you remember we've had a question from a guy, 0:12:11.960 --> 0:12:14.720 a Bucks fan in Australia, Yes, who was in radio. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.280 Yeah, he's a he's a presenter. 0:12:16.360 --> 0:12:19.839 His name's Elliott Lovejoy and he's just he reached out 0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:21.200 because he's going to be in Tampa at the end 0:12:21.200 --> 0:12:23.160 of the season. Really he's going to get to see 0:12:24.640 --> 0:12:27.880 two games and just thought maybe he could come and 0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:30.160 check out the facility. I think we could probably work 0:12:30.200 --> 0:12:30.520 that out. 0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:30.800 Yeah. 0:12:30.880 --> 0:12:34.600 Yeah. So finally we're like what fifteen minutes into this podcast. Yeah, 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:36.520 we have not yet spoken about the fact that the 0:12:36.559 --> 0:12:39.640 Buccaneers have named a starting quarterback dead day. 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:41.000 When did this happen? 0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.440 I this was what this was a fun professional moment 0:12:44.480 --> 0:12:47.880 for me. Right, because you were ready that. I was 0:12:47.960 --> 0:12:51.600 the first person who tured out because I had a 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:56.200 feeling I had some inside intel that coach Bowls after 0:12:56.240 --> 0:12:58.439 practice yesterday was going to go to the podium and 0:12:58.679 --> 0:13:02.679 and now that Baker Mayfield. 0:13:02.280 --> 0:13:04.400 Was the starting what time would that happen? Because he 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.080 knew he was going to get the inevitable question of well, 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:09.640 cry your name a starter. It's getting awful close to well. 0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:11.800 The funny thing was the way that he didn't. I 0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.160 thought he might just start the press converence by saying, 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.840 before I take any questions, yes, no, no, So I 0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:20.200 think it was the second question, and it was worded understandably. 0:13:20.600 --> 0:13:22.880 It was worded like, I know you're not close to 0:13:22.960 --> 0:13:23.880 naming a starter. 0:13:23.720 --> 0:13:26.080 Yet, but is it neck and neck? 0:13:26.360 --> 0:13:35.360 Baker one. I had the the tweet with attached story yes, 0:13:36.440 --> 0:13:38.080 lined up, ready to go. So as soon as you 0:13:38.080 --> 0:13:39.960 said it, I put, I mean, I guess it's an 0:13:40.080 --> 0:13:42.800 X not a tweet. Yeah, I pushed go, So I 0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:43.680 know I was first. 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.520 I had X open and I was waiting to see 0:13:48.000 --> 0:13:48.920 who would go first. 0:13:48.920 --> 0:13:50.800 I don't get the break news, and you did. 0:13:50.880 --> 0:13:53.560 You popped it. You were at least a minute ahead 0:13:53.559 --> 0:13:56.640 of everybody else. Yeah, that's because they all had and 0:13:56.640 --> 0:14:00.960 then the national guys they're they're like, there are a few, yeah, yeah, 0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:02.800 they're like four and five minutes behind. 0:14:03.559 --> 0:14:06.040 So Baker Mayfield, now I know that there are a 0:14:06.080 --> 0:14:08.360 lot I've already I've already heard it personally. I've heard 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:11.280 it from several people that are out there saying, well, duh, 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:13.120 of course, Baker, we all knew all along. 0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:13.800 That's not true. 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:15.240 That is not how it played about. 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:15.360 Now. 0:14:16.160 --> 0:14:19.800 It was Kyle. Kyle did a nice job, and it 0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.360 was a real competition. 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.720 Yep, yep. And and I think it's it's easy to say, oh, 0:14:25.760 --> 0:14:28.240 you're it was Baker. You could you could bank on that, 0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:28.840 you could. 0:14:28.560 --> 0:14:30.480 Say, because he's the one with experienced. 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.000 Correct and that's what everybody was thinking about. But they 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:34.560 did not go in with that with. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.440 Well, no, they could think that would be a bad 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:39.360 way to go about it, right, Although Baker did say 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.800 I expected to start, which is of course the attitude 0:14:41.880 --> 0:14:42.240 that you. 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.960 Have if he said, yeah, boy, I'm really lucky I 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.040 got I can't not the guy I wanted there coming in. 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:50.680 I know we don't have a confidence issue. That's been 0:14:51.640 --> 0:14:55.160 and so that is the I wonder if it's harder 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:58.960 because if Kyle had not performed well in the preseason 0:14:59.120 --> 0:15:01.560 and in training camp and then he was told Baker 0:15:01.600 --> 0:15:04.920 got the job, I mean maybe that would have been 0:15:05.360 --> 0:15:07.360 how it would that make it easier to take. But 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.520 Kyle did do well. 0:15:08.720 --> 0:15:11.840 He did well, and I think I think Todd said 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.160 it best. He has a good relationship with Kyle and 0:15:14.200 --> 0:15:18.880 they very open, very honest relationship. So he seems like 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:22.080 a smart kid. And he also has been doubted from 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:25.680 high school on, so he's he'll be ready if something. 0:15:25.840 --> 0:15:28.400 You know, Listen, you gotta have luck to make it 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.760 through the whole season. That's for any player on any team. 0:15:31.840 --> 0:15:33.760 Although Tom Brady just did three times in a row. 0:15:33.840 --> 0:15:39.760 What yes, Uh, but he wasn't taking any hits. 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.160 I think it's it might have been maybe I don't 0:15:44.160 --> 0:15:45.800 know if for me, maybe it'd be a little bit 0:15:45.800 --> 0:15:47.880 harder to take when I performed well but didn't get 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:51.760 the job. But from the Bucks point of view, Uh, 0:15:51.800 --> 0:15:55.440 it's it's kind of great because I don't think that 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.040 we really knew for sure going into this offseason whether 0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:03.000 Kyle Trask had a future as an NFL starting quarterback, 0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:05.000 And I feel closer to feeling that way. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:05.280 I do. 0:16:05.360 --> 0:16:07.160 I totally agree with you. I think I thought he 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:10.360 looked really good against the Jets. He moved around. Well, 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:13.480 he's maybe not quite as mobile as Baker, but he's. 0:16:13.520 --> 0:16:17.720 He got a lot of props from me when uh, 0:16:17.760 --> 0:16:20.640 he does the first half and then John gets hurt 0:16:21.120 --> 0:16:23.920 and he finds his helmet and goes in and plays 0:16:23.960 --> 0:16:27.080 the rest of the game, and and wasn't you know 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:27.800 it's so rare. 0:16:28.360 --> 0:16:30.080 It's like it's like taking a picture out and then 0:16:30.080 --> 0:16:31.440 pop back in. Yeah happens. 0:16:31.520 --> 0:16:33.600 I mean, you're you're It's like you said, it took 0:16:33.640 --> 0:16:37.000 him a few snaps to get back into the rhythm 0:16:37.000 --> 0:16:37.440 of the game. 0:16:37.960 --> 0:16:42.760 The thing about that whole sequence is that I think 0:16:42.800 --> 0:16:44.640 everybody kind of got a little bit of inkling at 0:16:44.640 --> 0:16:47.360 that point. Yeah, that a decision, if not totally made, 0:16:47.480 --> 0:16:51.360 was close to being made because not playing Baker told 0:16:51.400 --> 0:16:53.760 a lot of us Okay, that probably means he's going 0:16:53.800 --> 0:16:56.200 to be the starter. Yeah, they've already you know, they're 0:16:56.200 --> 0:16:58.560 already at least close to making that decision. The other 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.840 thing about that is we have I've seen John Wolford 0:17:01.880 --> 0:17:04.439 walking around in the building that I don't want to 0:17:04.440 --> 0:17:06.720 say anything on his behalf of how it feels. But 0:17:06.760 --> 0:17:07.600 he looks pretty good. 0:17:07.680 --> 0:17:09.520
