WEBVTT - Takeaways From OTA Practices, Secondary Depth | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:09.320
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Buccaneers Insider Live, presented by Miller. Like Casey Phillips,

0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.600
<v Speaker 1>here was senior writer and editor Scott Smith. And we

0:00:11.680 --> 0:00:13.600
<v Speaker 1>are still in the middle of O t A s,

0:00:13.640 --> 0:00:15.680
<v Speaker 1>which is an exciting time because it's our first chance

0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to see some of the veteran players alongside the rookie players,

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and our first time to hear from a lot of

0:00:20.280 --> 0:00:22.599
<v Speaker 1>people at the podium that we haven't got a chance

0:00:22.640 --> 0:00:25.560
<v Speaker 1>to talk to since last season and get their opinions

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>on some of the new editions and what's going on

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.280
<v Speaker 1>with the team. So, uh, first, well, just any kind

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:31.639
<v Speaker 1>of big takeaways from O t A so far, some

0:00:31.680 --> 0:00:32.800
<v Speaker 1>of the moments of podium and I we have a

0:00:32.840 --> 0:00:34.240
<v Speaker 1>few different things we're going to get into, but just

0:00:34.320 --> 0:00:36.400
<v Speaker 1>kind of big picture. Well, it is interesting some of

0:00:36.440 --> 0:00:38.880
<v Speaker 1>the veterans that have showed up recently, like this week,

0:00:38.920 --> 0:00:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Shaq Barron and Devin White and Vida vet has been

0:00:41.640 --> 0:00:43.400
<v Speaker 1>there the whole time. There's a good number of veterans

0:00:43.440 --> 0:00:45.519
<v Speaker 1>there and the turnout has been pretty impressive because remember

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:49.279
<v Speaker 1>these are completely voluntary and really the entire NFL has

0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>sort of trended the last couple of years towards this

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.680
<v Speaker 1>being more about the young players. Those are the guys

0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>that the team wants to get the most snaps right now,

0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.560
<v Speaker 1>so that, as as Todd Bowles put it on two Day,

0:01:00.800 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>they get enough set, They get enough foundation set so

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:06.800
<v Speaker 1>that when they hit training camp they can hit the

0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.440
<v Speaker 1>ground running and they can reasonably compete. They'll know enough

0:01:09.800 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>to be close enough to the veterans in their knowledge

0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:13.199
<v Speaker 1>to be able to compete, and they're not just trying

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:15.760
<v Speaker 1>from square one. So that's what most of it's about.

0:01:15.920 --> 0:01:17.759
<v Speaker 1>But you still have some of these guys showing up

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like Devin White or Shack or that they have a

0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>reason they're in the area. Check says, I'm in the area,

0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:25.160
<v Speaker 1>why would I not show up at work and try

0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>to get better? So, um, there's no there's that's not

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>to contrast to anybody that's not here. There's perfectly good

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:33.600
<v Speaker 1>reasons not to be here. And again it's incredible and

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.160
<v Speaker 1>completely that's what I'm looking for voluntary. But some of

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:39.200
<v Speaker 1>these guys see the value in it, Like a Devin

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.360
<v Speaker 1>White's working on his diet and his training, and he

0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.640
<v Speaker 1>also there's new wrinkles to the defense apparently that they're installing,

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>and so he wants to get that and learn it

0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>in person. So, um, that's what a lot of it's

0:01:50.760 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>about for those guys. But really the main purpose of

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:55.880
<v Speaker 1>this time is to help the young guys. And I

0:01:55.920 --> 0:01:57.760
<v Speaker 1>know Russell Gauge is one of these new guys that

0:01:57.800 --> 0:02:00.280
<v Speaker 1>we haven't talked a ton about yet because he's not

0:02:00.320 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>a draft pick. We spent a lot of time on

0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:04.120
<v Speaker 1>the draft, and uh, now he's the guy that I

0:02:04.120 --> 0:02:07.320
<v Speaker 1>think can maybe that signing maybe even been a little overlooked.

0:02:07.320 --> 0:02:09.120
<v Speaker 1>Now it's been a bit and a bit of a

0:02:09.120 --> 0:02:11.240
<v Speaker 1>refresher and we got to hear Antoine Winfield Jr. Talk

0:02:11.280 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>about him. So what do you feel like you learned

0:02:12.600 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>in that? Well, first of all, about Russell Gauge, he

0:02:14.840 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>is here, he's he's at the facility while these okayes

0:02:18.520 --> 0:02:20.720
<v Speaker 1>are going on, but he's not working out right now.

0:02:21.000 --> 0:02:23.840
<v Speaker 1>He coach wasn't really specific about his injuries. He just

0:02:23.880 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>says he's getting treatment and he's kind of sore, but

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:28.320
<v Speaker 1>it won't be an issue for training camp. But really

0:02:28.480 --> 0:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>it's not that big of a deal. You could say

0:02:30.760 --> 0:02:33.280
<v Speaker 1>he might be trying to work on chemistry with Todd

0:02:33.440 --> 0:02:35.600
<v Speaker 1>tom Brady, you know, because Tom Brady is famously very

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>specific about how he likes his guys to run their routes.

0:02:38.440 --> 0:02:41.000
<v Speaker 1>But Tom Brady hasn't really been working yet, hasn't been

0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.079
<v Speaker 1>there either, so he doesn't he doesn't really need to

0:02:43.120 --> 0:02:46.680
<v Speaker 1>work on his chemistry with Cole Trask. But yeah, I

0:02:46.680 --> 0:02:50.919
<v Speaker 1>think everybody's really excited about the addition of Russell gauge. Um.

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.200
<v Speaker 1>One thing to note is that we're not sure if

0:02:53.240 --> 0:02:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin is going to be there for the very

0:02:55.240 --> 0:02:58.320
<v Speaker 1>start of the season, hopefully but not necessarily. And so

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>as Antoine Winfield was talking, he thinks Russell Gaves would

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.560
<v Speaker 1>be awesome in the slot. We already have an awesome

0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 1>slot receiver and Chris Godwin, but he may not be

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:07.440
<v Speaker 1>there at the beginning. And then when he is there,

0:03:07.480 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>you really make him very interchangeable. And as you can

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:12.440
<v Speaker 1>see here on this graphic right here, Um, this this

0:03:12.520 --> 0:03:15.040
<v Speaker 1>is showing what guys, how these guys were targeted on

0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 1>third downs last year, and obviously Russell was in Atlanta.

0:03:18.120 --> 0:03:20.840
<v Speaker 1>You look at these numbers really tell a story of

0:03:20.919 --> 0:03:24.080
<v Speaker 1>different types of receivers and targets. Look at Mike Evans,

0:03:24.280 --> 0:03:26.959
<v Speaker 1>very very successful when we throwed him in third down,

0:03:27.000 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>but his target rate is lower than the other guys.

0:03:29.360 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And if you look at Chris Godwin, who has has

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:33.520
<v Speaker 1>the same number catches but a lot fewer yards, but

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.200
<v Speaker 1>look at how much of that is after the catch,

0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>and you can you can see that in your mind.

0:03:36.640 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 1>You can see Chris Godden catching that real quick slant

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.440
<v Speaker 1>and making ten more yards and getting the first down

0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:44.400
<v Speaker 1>his target rate. Now if he's not there, to look

0:03:44.440 --> 0:03:46.640
<v Speaker 1>at Russell Gates, he was very good on third down

0:03:46.720 --> 0:03:49.760
<v Speaker 1>and very highly used by the Falcons last year. He

0:03:49.800 --> 0:03:51.600
<v Speaker 1>had a little more YAK than Mike, so he might

0:03:51.600 --> 0:03:52.800
<v Speaker 1>be able to do the same sort of things that

0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Godwin did. But I think just just paints a picture

0:03:55.480 --> 0:03:57.400
<v Speaker 1>on how these guys are used on third down. Yeah,

0:03:57.440 --> 0:03:59.200
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be incredible. And another guy that we're gonna

0:03:59.200 --> 0:04:01.560
<v Speaker 1>be interested to see how he's used is our new

0:04:01.800 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>first pick. I keep wanting to say first round pick,

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.800
<v Speaker 1>but it's not quite right close enough. Logan Hall, and

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 1>you talked about Vita Villas here, and this is definitely

0:04:08.640 --> 0:04:11.400
<v Speaker 1>a guy whose opinion on Logan Hall, I was excited

0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.880
<v Speaker 1>to hear. Yeah, Vita thinks he said he's very I

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>can already tell he's very athletic, he thinks he's going

0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 1>to do big things, and obviously those two guys will

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 1>probably and Golden Locals will be your three primary guys

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:25.039
<v Speaker 1>on that down line, in that interior line. Um, what

0:04:25.240 --> 0:04:27.719
<v Speaker 1>Vita was saying about him is that he's just he's

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.480
<v Speaker 1>very active and very athletic, and obviously the Buccaneers are

0:04:30.480 --> 0:04:33.599
<v Speaker 1>hoping that he adds a certain number of sacks and

0:04:33.640 --> 0:04:37.080
<v Speaker 1>pressure from the interior. The interesting thing, though, is I

0:04:37.120 --> 0:04:39.600
<v Speaker 1>think you maybe might have to temper your expectations just

0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:42.200
<v Speaker 1>a teeny little bit. He could have a very nice

0:04:42.279 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>rooky season, but he won't necessarily have like the six

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:48.039
<v Speaker 1>sacks that in Dominquensue at Lessure. Hopefully he will. But

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:50.200
<v Speaker 1>if you look at some of the most notable defensive

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>tackled interior lineman rookies that the Buccaneers have had, I

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>put Santana Dotson on there because he holds the Buck's record,

0:04:56.720 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>uh for Sax's rookie ridiculous. He was like a fifth

0:04:59.480 --> 0:05:01.720
<v Speaker 1>round pick. The rest of those guys were all notable

0:05:01.800 --> 0:05:05.080
<v Speaker 1>first round picks by the Buccaneers, all defensive tackles. Marcus

0:05:05.160 --> 0:05:07.719
<v Speaker 1>Jones eventually switched in, but he was a defensive tackle

0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.080
<v Speaker 1>upon being drafted. I mean, look at the Moren SAPs

0:05:10.240 --> 0:05:12.560
<v Speaker 1>Hall of Famer. We love Vita Via Gerald McCoy went

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>to six Pro Bowls, but their sack toles as rookies

0:05:15.400 --> 0:05:17.680
<v Speaker 1>weren't really that enormous, right, Sometimes it takes a little

0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>while to get into it. Hopefully Logan Hall falls somewhere

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>in between Sap and the rest in Santana Dotson. But

0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:24.960
<v Speaker 1>what we'll have to wait and see. Yeah, that's going

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:26.880
<v Speaker 1>to be interesting for sure. And then I know that

0:05:26.960 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>since Coach Bowls has taken over, now we do still

0:05:29.279 --> 0:05:31.880
<v Speaker 1>have Byron left which is the offensive coordinator, so consistency there.

0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:34.280
<v Speaker 1>But when Bruce arians was so known for his no

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:37.120
<v Speaker 1>risk a no biscuit and everybody's wondered, how how could

0:05:37.120 --> 0:05:40.280
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles taking over maybe change what this offense could

0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:43.080
<v Speaker 1>look like in the team overall. So with a few

0:05:43.080 --> 0:05:44.680
<v Speaker 1>people at the podium now this week, do you feel

0:05:44.680 --> 0:05:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like you've gotten any kind of sense on what that

0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:49.239
<v Speaker 1>could mean and what they're looking at. I think there's

0:05:49.560 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>a certain bit of angst out there that with Todd

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:53.880
<v Speaker 1>Bowles taking over, even with Byron left wid still being

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:56.279
<v Speaker 1>your play caller, that he's going to force the team

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>to be a run first offense, and and and he's

0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:00.720
<v Speaker 1>just gonna try to pound it as much as possible.

0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>And I just don't think that that's something they have

0:06:02.839 --> 0:06:07.520
<v Speaker 1>to worry about. As Todd Bowle said very straightforwardly on Tuesday,

0:06:07.800 --> 0:06:10.000
<v Speaker 1>he's gonna do one offense what it takes to win.

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.960
<v Speaker 1>So if that means Tom Brady throwing the ball fifty

0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:13.719
<v Speaker 1>five times in a game, if that's what's working and

0:06:13.720 --> 0:06:15.520
<v Speaker 1>that's what the game plan says, we're gonna do that.

0:06:15.839 --> 0:06:18.520
<v Speaker 1>If we run, if we're running well, and you run

0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>thirty times and you win, he's going to do that.

0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>But as cam Brad pointed out a little bit later,

0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.840
<v Speaker 1>there are a couple opponents that the Buccaneers have had

0:06:26.880 --> 0:06:29.839
<v Speaker 1>trouble with the last few years, the Rams and the Saints.

0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:32.280
<v Speaker 1>It's no secrets. Of the ten losses the Bucks have

0:06:32.360 --> 0:06:34.520
<v Speaker 1>had the last two years, seven of them. Again, then

0:06:34.560 --> 0:06:37.680
<v Speaker 1>against those two teams, it's very unfortunate ones in our division,

0:06:37.680 --> 0:06:39.279
<v Speaker 1>and one just seems to be a team we always

0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:41.960
<v Speaker 1>have every single year, and and you know they're probably

0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>in each other's past in terms of trying to get

0:06:44.040 --> 0:06:47.320
<v Speaker 1>the Super Bowl. Uh As Cam Brady was pointing out

0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.720
<v Speaker 1>against some teams he thinks the Buckners really do need

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>to try to establish the run and successfully do so.

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.040
<v Speaker 1>And that's the Saints and the Rams, because we simply

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:00.080
<v Speaker 1>haven't run the ball very well against those teams in

0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.120
<v Speaker 1>and so in that case, the Bucks might need to

0:07:03.160 --> 0:07:06.760
<v Speaker 1>do that. And the point is not just to get

0:07:06.760 --> 0:07:09.840
<v Speaker 1>the running game going, but that the making them fear

0:07:09.960 --> 0:07:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the running game opens up options for your pass right,

0:07:13.880 --> 0:07:15.800
<v Speaker 1>And I just threw this up here. Now, this is

0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournett's runs last year, all of them is. He

0:07:18.840 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 1>had about carries overall, and it shows you what fronts,

0:07:22.720 --> 0:07:24.520
<v Speaker 1>how often they had an extra man in the box

0:07:24.560 --> 0:07:26.400
<v Speaker 1>that's stacked at the bottom, how often it was just

0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>seven people, and how often it was six or fewer. Now, look,

0:07:29.280 --> 0:07:31.960
<v Speaker 1>Leonard Fournette clearly did better against the lighter fronts, and

0:07:32.000 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>that's great for him, right, But the few, the fall

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.920
<v Speaker 1>small number of snaps against stack fronts tells you that

0:07:39.000 --> 0:07:42.920
<v Speaker 1>teams were not fearing our running game. Obviously, it's harder

0:07:42.920 --> 0:07:44.880
<v Speaker 1>to run against stack fronts, but if you can force

0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.240
<v Speaker 1>them into those, you can do play action and so

0:07:47.320 --> 0:07:49.360
<v Speaker 1>on and really do more things in the passing games.

0:07:49.360 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 1>So obviously the Buckners would like Leonard to still have

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:56.000
<v Speaker 1>success against the lighter boxes this year, but they probably

0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.640
<v Speaker 1>like to see more stack boxes overall. Okay, well we're

0:07:58.640 --> 0:08:00.640
<v Speaker 1>going to take a couple of our Facebook questions now.

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>If you have one of those, you can head on

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:04.440
<v Speaker 1>over to the Buccaneers Facebook page and underneath our live

0:08:04.560 --> 0:08:07.360
<v Speaker 1>video you can leave your question there. And of course

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:11.640
<v Speaker 1>I bet you can guess, uh, yes, there it is.

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 1>The TJ basically just sort of yelled Gronk's name at

0:08:15.600 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>us multiple times, and you know, ask her, is there

0:08:18.520 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>is there any news on his returns? At least there's

0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>some bit of I don't know if i'd call it

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:29.480
<v Speaker 1>news that activity activity that was in town and he

0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>and Rod got together and they were just right over there. Yeah, uh,

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.439
<v Speaker 1>Tom was taken some hacks And which am I the

0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:38.680
<v Speaker 1>only person that noticed? Yes? Why it was? I didn't

0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:40.920
<v Speaker 1>feel like people were talking about this, and I was like,

0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>wait a minute, what could he just really? Throwing right

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.600
<v Speaker 1>handed and swinging left handed is the absolute perfect combination

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:48.760
<v Speaker 1>for a baseball player, because you can play any don't

0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.760
<v Speaker 1>say this, or he's just gonna randomly, all of a

0:08:50.800 --> 0:08:54.320
<v Speaker 1>sudden go play baseball, golf, yeah, just everything else. Why

0:08:54.320 --> 0:08:56.199
<v Speaker 1>not He's conquered in the whole rest of the world. Well,

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:59.000
<v Speaker 1>Michael Jordan won three more championships after he went played baseball.

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:03.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, Brady open don't uh yeah, I mean you

0:09:04.000 --> 0:09:05.720
<v Speaker 1>you want to be right hand throw left and swinger

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.400
<v Speaker 1>and baseball. It's advantageable times. There you go. Of course,

0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.520
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady, of course, why would he not have advantage

0:09:10.520 --> 0:09:14.800
<v Speaker 1>on Hopefully after that little session with with Gronkfield and

0:09:14.800 --> 0:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>the flyballs that that Tom's left handedly hitting, they got

0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.400
<v Speaker 1>together and had a little discussion, isn't this fun to

0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>play games together? Let's exactly. So. I don't know how

0:09:25.400 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>much you want to read into that kind of him

0:09:28.040 --> 0:09:31.600
<v Speaker 1>reading why not. We're just kind of we're all kind

0:09:31.600 --> 0:09:33.760
<v Speaker 1>of waiting and hoping. You know. It was funny because

0:09:33.800 --> 0:09:36.200
<v Speaker 1>I think it was Byron Leftwitch that was at the podium,

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.160
<v Speaker 1>not this week, but last week and said so when

0:09:39.160 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>they were asking about Gronk and if you know when

0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:43.080
<v Speaker 1>he comes back, if he comes back, if he doesn't

0:09:43.080 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>come back, and he answered if he comes back parton,

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.959
<v Speaker 1>he says, I really don't want to think about the

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:50.280
<v Speaker 1>possibly of gron Hosky not come back. Yeah, so same

0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.880
<v Speaker 1>if you like in the building, there's a general hope

0:09:52.880 --> 0:09:54.520
<v Speaker 1>that's going to happen. Yeah, I would agree with that.

0:09:55.200 --> 0:09:57.920
<v Speaker 1>Al right. So Willie asked, how do our corner and

0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:01.200
<v Speaker 1>safety positions look? Um, so in terms of I would

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>have guess he means both in terms of depth and

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.040
<v Speaker 1>just health and starters and all of that stuff. Well,

0:10:06.280 --> 0:10:08.000
<v Speaker 1>if if he means how they look at O T S,

0:10:08.040 --> 0:10:09.839
<v Speaker 1>it's really not an easy question to answer because most

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:11.800
<v Speaker 1>of your starters aren't there. You know, you know you're

0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>not seeing Carlton Davis and Antoine Well, now, I guess

0:10:14.360 --> 0:10:17.319
<v Speaker 1>Antoine Winfields been around, but they're not all there. Mike

0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:21.080
<v Speaker 1>Edwards has been around. Uh, but I think the depth

0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.760
<v Speaker 1>is pretty good at safety. You lost Jordan Whitehead, but

0:10:23.760 --> 0:10:26.079
<v Speaker 1>you signed Logan Ryan and Kean O'Neil and you still

0:10:26.080 --> 0:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>have Mike Edwards and obviously Antoine Winfield. I personally think

0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:31.240
<v Speaker 1>even though we went to the Pro Bowl last year,

0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:34.520
<v Speaker 1>Antoine Winfield is on upward trajectory and is going to

0:10:34.600 --> 0:10:38.040
<v Speaker 1>get even better this year. Uh. Mike Edwards, you know,

0:10:38.120 --> 0:10:40.319
<v Speaker 1>might get more snaps and what a ball hockey is,

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think they have very specific roles in mind

0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:45.360
<v Speaker 1>for Kean O'Neil and Logan Ryan that allow them to

0:10:45.360 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>do a lot of different things at cornerback. You have

0:10:47.440 --> 0:10:49.720
<v Speaker 1>your top three back from last year. Hopefully you have

0:10:49.760 --> 0:10:52.520
<v Speaker 1>better luck in terms of injuries. You know, Carlton Davis,

0:10:52.800 --> 0:10:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Sean Murphy Bunting both missed pre significant amount of time.

0:10:56.320 --> 0:10:59.520
<v Speaker 1>Jamal Dean missed I think two games. So if you

0:10:59.520 --> 0:11:01.280
<v Speaker 1>can get key those guys in the field more, you're

0:11:01.320 --> 0:11:03.920
<v Speaker 1>probably feeling pretty good. And then the big question there

0:11:04.000 --> 0:11:06.240
<v Speaker 1>is whether the fifth round Rickie's I am McCollum was

0:11:06.280 --> 0:11:09.480
<v Speaker 1>incredibly athletic and fast and big, really fits a great

0:11:09.480 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>profile for this defense, but it is making a big

0:11:11.440 --> 0:11:14.319
<v Speaker 1>jump from sam Houston State to the NFL. If he

0:11:14.360 --> 0:11:17.280
<v Speaker 1>can show enough to be your fourth corner, then you're

0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>probably feeling pretty good there. And you know that fourth

0:11:19.800 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>corner is going to get some action at some point. Okay,

0:11:22.080 --> 0:11:25.839
<v Speaker 1>and then we will close out with this. Jose said,

0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.360
<v Speaker 1>do you see Logan Hall being a starter? Yeah? I

0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.960
<v Speaker 1>think he probably will be um at this point. You know,

0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:33.199
<v Speaker 1>we often get in a surprise weren't asked? Is in

0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.760
<v Speaker 1>Dominican sue coming back? And all along I've been saying

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:37.599
<v Speaker 1>I think he's probably up to him. He's trying to

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.640
<v Speaker 1>decide if he wants to play and how much would

0:11:39.640 --> 0:11:42.280
<v Speaker 1>make it worthwhile. But we're in what we're getting pretty

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:45.040
<v Speaker 1>close to June now, so unless something happens, I think

0:11:45.080 --> 0:11:47.320
<v Speaker 1>we have to kind of picture this moving forward without

0:11:47.360 --> 0:11:49.600
<v Speaker 1>in domic ensue. And in that case, I think Logan

0:11:49.600 --> 0:11:52.840
<v Speaker 1>Hall is pretty much the obvious three technique starter, Vida

0:11:52.880 --> 0:11:55.040
<v Speaker 1>b and the Nose and um Will Galston more on

0:11:55.040 --> 0:11:57.800
<v Speaker 1>the four technique where he really fits perfectly. And I

0:11:57.840 --> 0:11:59.680
<v Speaker 1>think all three of those guys are gonna get a

0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:03.439
<v Speaker 1>lot of naps. Your main backup is where Keim Nacho.

0:12:03.800 --> 0:12:06.040
<v Speaker 1>He's mostly a backup to Vita Vea. So I think

0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.960
<v Speaker 1>there's room for either somebody to step up or for

0:12:08.000 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks possibly to sign another guy on the defensive

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.280
<v Speaker 1>line as a reserve to rotate with Logan and and

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>we'll go smendod Yes, I do think Logan will probably

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:17.280
<v Speaker 1>be a starter. All right, Well, that's going to do

0:12:17.320 --> 0:12:19.079
<v Speaker 1>it for us on this edition of Buccaneers Inside a

0:12:19.120 --> 0:12:21.240
<v Speaker 1>Live presented by Miller Ltte. Thanks so much for being

0:12:21.240 --> 0:12:22.360
<v Speaker 1>with us. We'll see you next time.
