WEBVTT - Bucs Look Ahead to Division Matchup vs. Panthers, Multi-TD Mike | Bucs Insider 0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:08.719 Welcome into Bucks Insider, presented by Verizon Casey Phillips here 0:00:08.720 --> 0:00:11.200 a senior writer and editor Scott Smith. And it is 0:00:11.240 --> 0:00:14.720 finally football weather here in Florida. I'm gonna pretend it's 0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:17.080 gonna last till Sunday where we can wear this kind 0:00:17.120 --> 0:00:20.320 of gear. Don't kill my joy, don't kill my hope. 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:22.279 For everybody that's living in the Tampa area, you know 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:24.160 what I'm talking about. Right now, it finally feels like 0:00:24.200 --> 0:00:25.360 football weather outside. 0:00:25.360 --> 0:00:26.560 We're going to hope it stays here. 0:00:26.600 --> 0:00:29.800 But man, I know this last week definitely not the 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.280 outcome the team was hoping for. And now with the 0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:33.920 Panthers comeing in, I mean, that's going to be an 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:37.040 incredibly important game in terms of now everything is about 0:00:37.080 --> 0:00:39.000 these division games for the most part. 0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:40.440 But what are some of the big. 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.920 Takeaways from this Colts game that you feel that the 0:00:42.920 --> 0:00:46.080 team can learn from and apply to these next games, 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:48.720 knowing how basically every game now is so crucial. 0:00:49.040 --> 0:00:52.479 I think my takeaway is probably pretty similar to players, coaches, 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:57.200 and fans. It's frustrating because every game I feel like 0:00:57.240 --> 0:01:01.400 the Buccaneers are making progress in certain areas that should 0:01:01.440 --> 0:01:06.120 turn this losing streak around, but then something else happens 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:06.679 that's not good. 0:01:06.720 --> 0:01:09.680 So, for instance, Bucks ran the ball great in that game. 0:01:09.920 --> 0:01:11.720 That's been a problem for the Bucks all year, not 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:14.360 being able to run the ball efficiently one hundred and 0:01:14.360 --> 0:01:16.520 twenty five yards six point six years per carry. They 0:01:16.560 --> 0:01:18.959 played great third down defense two of eleven. Those are 0:01:18.959 --> 0:01:22.319 two of the major problems that the Buccaneers were experiencing 0:01:22.360 --> 0:01:25.720 earlier in the season. You resolve those and you think, okay, 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:27.920 now we're gonna get the results we want. But then 0:01:28.000 --> 0:01:30.960 other stuff happs, like now you're struggling to score points 0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:31.679 in the red zone. 0:01:32.360 --> 0:01:35.440 Things like that. It just this is when you. 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.760 Hear coach Bowles talk after a game or on Monday, 0:01:38.280 --> 0:01:40.720 it's this is what he's talking about when he says 0:01:40.760 --> 0:01:45.399 it's it's just something different all the time, and they 0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:49.440 don't understand. It's hard to understand because when they practice 0:01:49.760 --> 0:01:54.000 they do fine, and then then the games, one person here, 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.120 one person there does the wrong thing and it doesn't 0:01:56.160 --> 0:01:58.960 work out. And so this is still a team that 0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:01.600 totally believes. You can tell after every game, even after 0:02:01.640 --> 0:02:03.400 the losses in the locker room, this is a team 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:06.800 that totally believes that it can win every game, but 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:09.720 it's just not getting it done, so you know, it's 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:11.800 still out there in front of him. It feels weird 0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.799 to say they're only a game out of first. I mean, 0:02:14.080 --> 0:02:16.000 you don't like to keep saying that after every loss. 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:16.920 But it's true. 0:02:17.520 --> 0:02:19.600 They're only a game out of first, and there's six 0:02:19.639 --> 0:02:23.000 games to go, including four against division opponents, including two 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:24.760 against the one that dhim Panthers. 0:02:24.360 --> 0:02:25.600 And starting this week. 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.760 So it's all still in front of the Buccaneers. But 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:29.600 at the moment, I think there's a lot of frustration 0:02:29.720 --> 0:02:32.119 that they can't get it all right on the same day. 0:02:32.280 --> 0:02:34.960 Yep. Yeah, that makes complete sense in terms of the game. 0:02:35.240 --> 0:02:37.920 We've joked on this show every week that we might 0:02:37.960 --> 0:02:40.160 as well have a Levante and Mike Evans segment every week. Well, 0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:41.920 unfortunately we're not gonna be able to have a Levante 0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:44.040 one since he had to miss the game. We do 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:46.679 still have Mike Evans one because again, every week he's 0:02:46.720 --> 0:02:49.080 just given us stats, he's given us things to talk about, 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:53.000 and has given us just reminders of what a all 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:54.600 time great player he is. 0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:57.480 Yeah, he scored two touchdowns to get to nineties, just 0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.240 the fifteenth player in the history of the NFL to 0:03:00.280 --> 0:03:05.040 have ninety or more touchdown catches. He has more two 0:03:05.120 --> 0:03:09.480 touchdown games than everybody except DeVante Adams among active players. 0:03:10.280 --> 0:03:12.519 And if you look at that, that a one yard 0:03:12.600 --> 0:03:16.480 touchdown pass he just scored. An interesting note about that play, 0:03:16.600 --> 0:03:17.720 if you look at see how. 0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.600 Wide open he is, that was crazy. 0:03:19.520 --> 0:03:23.120 The closest defender to him, according to NFL next Gen stats, 0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:25.520 and here we'll see next Gen sort of showing you 0:03:25.560 --> 0:03:27.919 with the dots, the closest defender to him when he 0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.080 caught the ball was seventeen point one yards away, and 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.400 you could see why because two defenders jumped on paying 0:03:32.440 --> 0:03:35.960 Durham running that very shallow slant and Mike, who kind 0:03:35.960 --> 0:03:38.040 of faked in for a second and then went. 0:03:37.960 --> 0:03:39.280 Out, was just wide open. 0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:43.800 Weirdly, they've been tracking these things since twenty sixteen. That's 0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:47.600 the most separation, So the most open that a player 0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:50.640 catching a pass in the end zone has ever been 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.760 since they've been tracking into that. 0:03:52.760 --> 0:03:53.280 That's crazy. 0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:55.800 And of all people, I don't feel like Mike is 0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:59.560 ever that open because teams focus on him so un 0:04:00.080 --> 0:04:01.760 and frankly, he doesn't even need to be that open 0:04:01.760 --> 0:04:04.080 because we know that he can make all those contested catches. 0:04:04.280 --> 0:04:06.640 I'm sure to him it was probably like, what is 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:07.800 happening right now? 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:10.440 You wonder when you're too open to Oh. 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.280 My god, I remember feeling that way in basketball. I 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.240 hated being that open for a shot. You're like no, no, no, no, no, 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:15.920 someone come guard. 0:04:16.600 --> 0:04:20.080 Here's I was talking about before nineteen two touchdown games 0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:22.360 or three multiple touchdown games. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.440 But in this case too, only Devanta Adams has more. 0:04:25.760 --> 0:04:26.600 Again what a list? 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:28.280 Yeah, look at those names and. 0:04:28.240 --> 0:04:29.800 He is at number two, which is incredible. 0:04:30.600 --> 0:04:33.000 So that obviously was not one of the failed red 0:04:33.080 --> 0:04:36.080 zone no attempts. That one went pretty dang well, but 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:38.000 there were a few others that ended up making a 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:40.320 pretty big difference in the game. What does it seem 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:42.160 to be in terms of the red zone? What are 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:43.839 some of the things maybe they're focusing on, or what 0:04:43.839 --> 0:04:46.200 do we think is leading to some of these being 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:47.360 three instead of seven? 0:04:47.520 --> 0:04:50.880 Or well sometimes it's penalties in this that happened in 0:04:50.880 --> 0:04:51.520 this last game. 0:04:51.880 --> 0:04:54.880 That game started so well, couldn't start better. 0:04:55.080 --> 0:04:56.800 Had the ball first or right down the field and 0:04:56.839 --> 0:04:59.279 no problem, got the first goal at the one you 0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.880 usually scored touchdown when you're first and goal at the one. 0:05:02.200 --> 0:05:04.279 Unfortunately, they tried to Baker Mayfield sneak. 0:05:04.800 --> 0:05:06.760 It didn't work and he injured his ankles, so he 0:05:06.800 --> 0:05:08.560 came out of the game for a couple of plays. 0:05:08.600 --> 0:05:11.280 And then critically, there was a false start penalty. So 0:05:11.320 --> 0:05:13.680 now instead of being able to just bash it in 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.800 from the one, because the Bucks have been actually been 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.440 pretty good on goal to go this year, especially that close, 0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:20.400 they've been able to get the ball in off and 0:05:20.480 --> 0:05:23.560 sometimes were shod White. But now you're second and six, 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.400 you run Rashid White. Now he gets three yards. That 0:05:26.440 --> 0:05:28.359 would have been great from the one yard line, but 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:31.600 it wasn't so helpful from the six. And then and 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:35.000 incomplete pass on third down, and then another time there 0:05:35.040 --> 0:05:40.400 was a sack, So protection issues and ill time penalties, 0:05:40.440 --> 0:05:43.360 and that's what I was saying. Before other things get 0:05:43.360 --> 0:05:45.520 fixed and then something else crops up. And so from 0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.880 that point on, you go all the way down the field. 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:49.360 You get first and goal on the one on your 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:52.479 first drive, that seems like a great situation. Then you 0:05:52.520 --> 0:05:53.960 have to settle for three and then they score the 0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:56.040 next seventeen points and the momentum. 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:58.360 Has swung a lot. Now after that, the Bucks did 0:05:58.440 --> 0:06:01.200 rally and had a chance great at this year they have. 0:06:01.279 --> 0:06:02.840 They fought to the end, Yeah, every time. 0:06:02.920 --> 0:06:04.880 And I know we talked about how there were definitely 0:06:05.000 --> 0:06:07.200 plenty of things that we know the team didn't do 0:06:07.279 --> 0:06:08.640 the way they wanted to, things that didn't go the 0:06:08.680 --> 0:06:11.240 Bucks way. And as you talked about though, there's also 0:06:11.279 --> 0:06:14.320 each week something that is really encouraging that happens on 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:15.240 the other side. 0:06:15.000 --> 0:06:17.320 Of the coin. And this week that was Rashad White 0:06:17.360 --> 0:06:18.000 in the run game. 0:06:18.040 --> 0:06:21.240 And because it's been Rashad White in the receiving game, 0:06:21.240 --> 0:06:23.160 it's been him in the screen game. This game, it 0:06:23.200 --> 0:06:26.599 was like, this was Rashad White, the running back getting 0:06:26.640 --> 0:06:30.440 one hundred yards rushing on the dot one hundred yards rushing. 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:32.000 What did you see in terms of and also his 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.200 career long run we're watching right now. Yeah, And so 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.239 I feel like that was just such a great game. 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.560 It was, you know, the best rushing game he's had 0:06:39.560 --> 0:06:42.039 since well Germany last, you know, last time. 0:06:42.120 --> 0:06:44.440 So I look at the hole and that play, I mean, 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:48.640 they gave him some seems to run, some lanes to run, 0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:51.120 and he hit him hard and we had five explosive 0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.280 runs in that game, which is runs of more than 0:06:53.600 --> 0:06:56.520 ten yards and that's mostly had in any game. So 0:06:56.600 --> 0:06:58.320 he actually he had the thirty eight one, but he 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.960 also had like fourteen and eleven. Chase Edmonds had an eleven. 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.640 Baker Mayfield had a fourteen yard scramble that was pretty 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:06.919 entertaining where he kind of ran over the guy at 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.599 the end, but as you can see, he's. 0:07:08.480 --> 0:07:09.880 Just on that one. 0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.240 He bounced it around the end, and I got to 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:13.960 believe there was some kind of issue with the cult 0:07:14.000 --> 0:07:15.680 Stephen's on that one because it shouldn't have been that 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:16.720 wide open around the end. 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.640 But he recognized the way to go. 0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:20.440 Yeah, you know that's part of eight blocked by standing 0:07:20.480 --> 0:07:21.120 on that one too. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:24.200 So the run blocking was good, the lanes were good, 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:26.480 he hit them well, he recognized when he should bounce 0:07:26.520 --> 0:07:28.480 that one with the outside. It was just how the 0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:31.400 run game is supposed to work. And that's encouraging going forward. 0:07:31.880 --> 0:07:33.120 Yeah, I think it's a great sign. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:37.120 And another encouraging thing is, man, we got some talent 0:07:37.200 --> 0:07:40.800 that is young in terms of pass rush. Yeah, Elijah 0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:44.800 Knsi Ya Yadyabi are putting up some incredible numbers for 0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.120 how especially how many games, how many snaps they've had. 0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.320 You know, ya Ya was coming off the bench Calida. 0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:52.560 It was hurt a lot. And they're still leading rookies 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:55.560 in a lot of these sack, tackle for loss QB, 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:59.600 pressure type stats. It's just to me, this is such 0:07:59.600 --> 0:08:02.560 ancouraging thing thinking about the future of this Bucks pass. 0:08:02.360 --> 0:08:05.200 Right, especially because it's both of them. I mean, I 0:08:05.200 --> 0:08:07.560 guess you sort of expected the nineteenth overall pick to 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:11.400 have an instant impact, but finding impact edge rushers in 0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:14.040 the third round is not common. Now there's Collide' getting 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.160 his sack. Yaya didn't have a sack in this game, 0:08:17.240 --> 0:08:20.760 but he has been making impact plays one or the other, 0:08:20.840 --> 0:08:24.720 and sometimes both of them make very noticeable impact plays 0:08:25.040 --> 0:08:28.280 every game now. And one thing to note is that 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:32.240 Yaya actually started this game, and on the new depth 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:34.640 chart this week, he's listed as a starter ahead of 0:08:34.720 --> 0:08:37.319 Joe Tryan Shayanka. Now here's what you were talking about. 0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:40.360 The tackles for loss. You know that includes sacks, but 0:08:40.400 --> 0:08:43.240 it's not all sacks. And Clide just tied for first 0:08:43.240 --> 0:08:46.560 even though he missed basically four games, and Yaya's tied 0:08:46.600 --> 0:08:49.080 for third, and they're making a lot of plays in 0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:53.160 the opposing backfield. But as I was saying before, Yaya 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.600 actually started, but it was a three outside linebacker formation, 0:08:56.679 --> 0:08:59.320 which was unusual, and Logan Hall wasn't in the game, 0:08:59.320 --> 0:09:01.719 but Joe trying should go. Shaq, Barrett, and Yaya were 0:09:01.760 --> 0:09:04.000 all in on the first play, in the first couple plays, 0:09:04.400 --> 0:09:06.240 and so that was kind of a new wrinkle that 0:09:06.280 --> 0:09:10.120 we saw. And you know, they David wasn't in the game, 0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.920 so they actually started with just one off ball linebacker 0:09:13.280 --> 0:09:15.560 and an extra defensive back. It was kind of an interesting, yeah, 0:09:15.559 --> 0:09:18.480 interesting sackage. So I think that was all part of 0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:20.640 like how do we deal with the guys that were 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:24.800 missing and doing some interesting new things. But in terms 0:09:24.840 --> 0:09:27.080 of going forward on the depth chart, it now says 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:28.520 Shaq and ya Ya are the starters. 0:09:29.040 --> 0:09:30.679 It's going to be interesting to watch for sure. And 0:09:30.920 --> 0:09:33.079 part of this, you know, the Buck's recent success on 0:09:33.120 --> 0:09:34.800 third down is thanks to the guys like that making 0:09:34.800 --> 0:09:37.280 some big plays when it's a more obvious. 0:09:36.960 --> 0:09:38.400 Pass rush down. 0:09:38.559 --> 0:09:40.320 And we saw earlier in the season that was a 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:42.800 stat that was killing the Bucks in some games, was 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:45.720 the conversion rate on third down, and especially also third 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:50.320 and long was just so out of character for this defense. 0:09:50.720 --> 0:09:52.560 And then now it feels like that's another area is, 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:55.000 to your point, that has been improving and cleaned up 0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:55.360 a little bit. 0:09:55.480 --> 0:09:58.600 Yeah, if you look at this, I mean after seven games, 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.440 and we noted this all the time because it was 0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.800 just glaring that the Bucks third down defense, and we 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.280 don't know, I don't have the numbers for a third 0:10:05.280 --> 0:10:07.480 and long here, but I think anecdotally we can recall 0:10:07.920 --> 0:10:10.200 that we were getting up lots of third and long 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:13.160 conversions and in the last four games that really haven't 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:16.959 been any And in terms of overall third downs thirty 0:10:16.960 --> 0:10:19.040 one point nine percent over the last four games, that's 0:10:19.040 --> 0:10:20.120 the sixth best in the league. 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:21.280 So that's a huge. 0:10:21.960 --> 0:10:24.480 Fix, yep, from one of the main things that was 0:10:24.559 --> 0:10:28.079 hurting the Buccaneers. And that goes into so many things 0:10:28.120 --> 0:10:30.480 because you're talking about extending drives, you're talking about time 0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:32.679 and possession, you're talking about not getting off the field 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:35.080 and not getting the ball back to your offense. All 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:38.520 kinds of things come out of how well you were 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.600 doing third downs. So the fact that doing so much 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.040 better defensively on third down is encouraging. 0:10:43.720 --> 0:10:44.320 Put it all together. 0:10:44.480 --> 0:10:45.559 Yeah, yeah, absolutely. 0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:48.040 Now we're going to look ahead to this game against 0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.280 the Panthers, and I feel a little deja vus here, 0:10:50.559 --> 0:10:53.760 as I say, the Panthers just fired their head coach. 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.720 The Bucks will be facing an inn aroum because this 0:10:55.840 --> 0:10:58.360 was exactly the situation that we were in last year. Now, 0:10:58.400 --> 0:11:00.000 last year, I think we were the second game out. 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:02.600 After this year, we will be the first game after 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:05.520 they've fired their head coach. Of course, I think that's 0:11:05.520 --> 0:11:07.520 always an interesting wrinkle that throwes in that we've seen. 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:09.760 There's a lot of times that teams, you know, for 0:11:09.800 --> 0:11:11.880 whatever reason, a head coach gets fired in that team, 0:11:11.920 --> 0:11:14.520 maybe that next week has a little extra home for 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.360 some weeks. Yeah, with the you know, the Raiders this year, 0:11:17.480 --> 0:11:20.040 some other teams. And also it throws a wrinkle unto 0:11:20.080 --> 0:11:21.679 you don't know what changes are going to be made. 0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:24.040 That's probably not going to throw out the whole playbook, 0:11:24.480 --> 0:11:26.400 but you never know. You know, now you've been scouting 0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.160 a team led by this guy, now they're led by 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:28.800 somebody else. 0:11:28.840 --> 0:11:30.920 It's an interesting wrinkle, particularly late in the season. 0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.040 Yeah, there's there's kind of one thing that's sort of 0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:36.680 concrete and one that's not so much. And that latter 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:39.080 one is what you were talking about, the new coach bounce, 0:11:39.200 --> 0:11:41.719 Like the Raiders got when they fired Josh McDaniel's and 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:44.600 won their next two games. You do sort of see 0:11:44.640 --> 0:11:46.400 that from time to time, that they make a coach 0:11:46.400 --> 0:11:50.160 and change, at least in the short term. It maybe 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.160 galvanizes a game or brings them together or gives them 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.120 something to fight for. 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:56.480 Like I said, that's not real concrete. 0:11:56.600 --> 0:11:58.480 What is concrete is Now there's gonna be a new 0:11:58.520 --> 0:12:01.240 play caller because Frank Wright had been calling the plays 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.640 and then about five weeks ago he turned it over 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:07.720 to Thomas Brown, their first year offensive coordinator, who came 0:12:07.760 --> 0:12:10.319 from the Rams, but after three games, Frank Reich took 0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:13.560 it back, so until he was dismissed, he was the 0:12:13.559 --> 0:12:15.800 play color bone. Now Thomas Brown is going to go 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:18.160 back to calling the plays because the interim head coach 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:21.480 is their special teams coordinator, which Rodney Barber made a 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:23.560 good point to me yesterday, is like, other than the 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:26.200 head coach, the one guy who deals with everybody on 0:12:26.240 --> 0:12:29.120 the team is the special teams coordinator, So it makes 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.520 sense to make him the interim coordinator. And then you 0:12:31.600 --> 0:12:35.600 still have your two offensive and defensive coordinators and Thomas 0:12:35.640 --> 0:12:37.800 Brown now will be calling the place. So what that 0:12:37.880 --> 0:12:40.680 means to what they do is hard to say, but 0:12:40.800 --> 0:12:44.120 it is a concrete change in what the Bucks would 0:12:44.160 --> 0:12:44.679 be seeing this. 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:45.480 Week, all right. 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:47.800 And then now also looking at the knowing that they 0:12:47.840 --> 0:12:50.520 are the people that had the first overall pick Bryce 0:12:50.600 --> 0:12:52.839 Young quarterback, what are we going to be seeing first 0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.400 time getting a look at this new rookie. 0:12:54.480 --> 0:12:56.480 Well, Bryce Young has had the ups and downs that 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.320 you would expect from a rookie quarterback. 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:01.080 You know, we see CJ. 0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:04.439 Stroud doing amazing and we saw it first hand in Houston, 0:13:04.480 --> 0:13:07.760 and you know, you're tempted to compare them, but the 0:13:07.760 --> 0:13:10.080 fact is Stroud. 0:13:09.720 --> 0:13:10.840 Is the exception, right. 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.200 They don't usually just fall into the league totally top 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:17.280 ten quarterback. You know, they have their they take their lumps, 0:13:17.280 --> 0:13:18.840 and they have their ups and downs, and that's certainly 0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:22.160 been the case for Bryce Young. He's got nine touchdowns 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:26.480 to eight interceptions. Neither number is particularly remarkable, but you 0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:29.120 want a better ratio than that, and I think they're 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:32.720 only averaging he's only averaging five point four yards per temp, which. 0:13:32.600 --> 0:13:33.320 Is pretty low. 0:13:34.160 --> 0:13:37.640 So they're not really getting the ball downfield much. And 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:41.920 Adam Thielen is their leading receiver. He's got seventy seven catches, 0:13:41.920 --> 0:13:43.800 which is a lot, but he's only averaging a career 0:13:43.880 --> 0:13:47.080 low nine point five per catch, so again, they're not 0:13:47.080 --> 0:13:49.520 getting the ball downfield. It's more of a possession type thing. 0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:52.400 And then the next leading pass catcher only has twenty 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:58.000 eight receptions, so they don't They haven't necessarily found or 0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:02.480 developed a second guy like Chris Godwin, so you know, 0:14:02.520 --> 0:14:04.720 it's been a bit of a struggle for them offensively, 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:05.280 to be honest. 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:06.840 Yeah, it's going to be an interesting but he's a. 0:14:06.880 --> 0:14:09.880 Very talented player. Yes, so you never know what to expect. 0:14:09.920 --> 0:14:11.240 Yeah, And I mean, of course you never want to 0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:13.480 take a team or their record lightly, or knowing they 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:15.719 have a rookie quarterback, all those things that Thankfully, I 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:17.160 don't think the Bucks start in a position to do 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.960 that because they now know what these what these division 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.240 games mean. So I don't think that you're worried at 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.800 all about them taking a one and ten team lightly. 0:14:25.560 --> 0:14:26.560 Well, and we need this. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.520 Coach Bowls is like when this kind of topic was 0:14:29.520 --> 0:14:32.200 thrown at him on Mondays, like, none of that matters 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:32.560 to us. 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:33.720 We have to fix us. 0:14:34.160 --> 0:14:37.240 And if they could be twelve and h we wouldn't 0:14:37.240 --> 0:14:39.720 make a difference, So the Bucks are definitely not looking 0:14:39.760 --> 0:14:41.400 at this as an easy win. 0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:42.840 Yep. Yes, it's interesting. 0:14:42.880 --> 0:14:44.360 Also, this game is going to be my cause my 0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:47.040 cleats game always one of my favorites every year, so 0:14:47.080 --> 0:14:49.040 I encourage everyone to make sure they're going to buccaneers 0:14:49.080 --> 0:14:50.880 dot Com to learn about all the different causes that 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:53.960 everyone will be supporting on their cleats.
