WEBVTT - Bucs Insider Live, Oct. 16 0:00:07.880 --> 0:00:10.680 Welcome to Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller. Like Casey 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:14.120 Phillips and Scott Smith here and plenty to talk about 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.600 this week. We know you have tons of thoughts, comments, questions, 0:00:16.640 --> 0:00:18.279 all of that. Make sure you head over to the 0:00:18.280 --> 0:00:21.760 Buccaneers Facebook page leave all of your questions underneath our 0:00:21.800 --> 0:00:23.799 live video. That's where we would be pulling them from 0:00:23.840 --> 0:00:26.160 in the time before people get a chance to submit 0:00:26.200 --> 0:00:28.400 some of those. I just wanted to hear your thoughts 0:00:28.440 --> 0:00:30.480 on we found out the big news yeshay, Mike Smith 0:00:30.880 --> 0:00:34.000 being released and you have now Mark Duffner being promoted. 0:00:34.000 --> 0:00:36.600 So what do you feel like this does for the 0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:39.000 team right now? And how does something like this you 0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:41.240 get employed? Even? I mean, what are the tangible effects 0:00:41.240 --> 0:00:43.080 of something like this? Well, first of all, before I 0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.120 directly answer that, I just want to say, and I 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:48.280 know it, it's not really critical to this decision. It's, 0:00:48.640 --> 0:00:50.680 as coach would say, it's a production based business and 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:53.320 it's not necessarily something that fans care that much about. 0:00:53.360 --> 0:00:55.400 But Mike Smith is a wonderful guy. We all really 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:59.040 loved him. Um, just one of the nicest guys you 0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.920 ever gonna want, every gonna want to meet upbeat all 0:01:01.960 --> 0:01:04.200 the time, and I'm sure it was very, very difficult 0:01:04.280 --> 0:01:06.360 for Coach Cutter, who's known him for a long time, 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:09.399 to make that decision, which he said was his decision. 0:01:09.600 --> 0:01:14.199 Coach Coach Cutter said, so uh so that being said again, 0:01:14.319 --> 0:01:16.600 it is a production based business, and when something is 0:01:16.640 --> 0:01:19.840 going as badly as our defensive results have been for 0:01:20.240 --> 0:01:23.800 the last two seasons, really, um, it's not a shocking 0:01:23.840 --> 0:01:26.840 move and certainly something that fans had been predicting for 0:01:26.880 --> 0:01:29.280 a little bit for a little while to make that move. 0:01:31.280 --> 0:01:33.960 The question is what what's the impact going to be? Right, Because, 0:01:34.080 --> 0:01:36.679 as as almost always the case, when you let go 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:38.800 of a coordinator in the middle of the season, you 0:01:38.920 --> 0:01:41.600 promote somebody from within, and that's something in this case 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:44.119 is Mark Duffner. And this is a man who's been 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.920 working under Mike Smith for the last three seasons, and 0:01:46.959 --> 0:01:49.160 they've been working in tandem, you know, with all the 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:52.920 other coaches trying to get this right, and so it's 0:01:52.960 --> 0:01:55.160 they're cut they're coming from the same system, you know 0:01:55.160 --> 0:01:57.120 what I'm saying. So I imagine that there are ways 0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:58.760 that Mark duffer is going to make changes, but it's 0:01:58.800 --> 0:02:00.920 not immediately obvious. In so we see it in actually 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.800 a few times what those are going to be. And 0:02:02.840 --> 0:02:04.640 there's only so much you can do because you're not 0:02:04.680 --> 0:02:06.880 gonna make any substantive changes in personnel in the middle 0:02:06.880 --> 0:02:10.919 of the season. So there can be some changes in approach. Um, 0:02:10.960 --> 0:02:13.240 you know, just from the most simplistic ways of putting it, 0:02:13.360 --> 0:02:16.359 maybe maybe he would press more or press less, or 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.200 blitz more, blitz less. And you know, from standpoint of 0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:22.359 coach Duffner, what the players were saying yesterday, Lavante in particular, 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:27.600 is that he's really very energetic, enthusiastic, uh, excited guy 0:02:27.880 --> 0:02:30.400 on the field, and Lavante thinks that could make a 0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:34.000 difference in terms of getting that to all three levels 0:02:34.000 --> 0:02:36.280 of the defense, not just the linebackers. So that's true, 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:38.880 and I mean, I think that was what was interesting 0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:40.919 is before when coach had been asked about letting him 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:43.839 go after the Chicago game, he said, okay, and now 0:02:43.880 --> 0:02:46.160 what So that really had been the big discussion, and 0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:49.120 how just changes in general in the middle of the 0:02:49.160 --> 0:02:52.320 season it can can be tough. So what what do 0:02:52.360 --> 0:02:53.880 you feel like the effect could be of, you know, 0:02:53.880 --> 0:02:56.040 when there are changes, what this team is going to 0:02:56.160 --> 0:02:58.079 need to do to make sure that that doesn't derail 0:02:58.360 --> 0:03:00.799 what they're wanting to do. Well. I mean, on one hand, 0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:03.520 I could see like you said, Coach Cutter said, and 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.880 then what right? But at some point you decide, well, 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.200 something needs to change and this isn't guaranteed to work, 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:11.760 but maybe it will help. And sometimes when you're making 0:03:11.760 --> 0:03:13.760 a change, especially like you know, if you've had a 0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.079 team Bucks only done this once in team history. But 0:03:16.120 --> 0:03:18.280 if you change head coach before the season is over, 0:03:18.639 --> 0:03:21.200 that's generally a season that's already off the rails. Right. 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:23.320 That's far from the case here with the Bucaneers. Yes, 0:03:23.400 --> 0:03:24.800 the Bucks have lost three in a row and now 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:27.280 we're two and three, but really it's far from over. 0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.840 We're two games out of first there's eleven games left. 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.359 We still got four games against our division points, three 0:03:32.360 --> 0:03:34.640 of which are at home, and we have a really, 0:03:34.720 --> 0:03:37.640 really good offense. So this team, even two of the 0:03:37.640 --> 0:03:40.160 three games we've lost, came right down to the wire. 0:03:40.440 --> 0:03:41.800 And that's the way it is in the NFL. And 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:43.800 that happened to the Buccaneers repeatedly last year, and they 0:03:43.800 --> 0:03:47.080 didn't win many of those games and ended up what 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:50.120 were we five and eleven? UM and and Coach Cutter 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:51.520 said that many times, look at all the games we 0:03:51.560 --> 0:03:53.880 lost by three points or less and one score or less, 0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.040 you know, we flip a few of those around. So 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:57.880 that's what we're talking about here. We're talking about a 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:02.040 relatively thin margin that the Buccaneers are on here on 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.000 winning or losing. And if you can make any bit 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.760 of difference on the defense side of the ball. Now, 0:04:07.120 --> 0:04:09.640 nobody really expects the Buccaneers to turn into one of 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.360 the best defenses in the league at this point, right, 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.880 that would be very surprising, but they don't have to 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:17.160 be to compliment this really good offer. Yeah, that's an 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:20.240 interesting point. So looking at you said two and three, 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.640 definitely not over yet, and that's a really huge thing 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:25.520 to emphasize when there is a change like that. You're right, 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.960 I think it gives people sort of this idea that, 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:29.800 oh my gosh, you know what's going on to the team. 0:04:29.880 --> 0:04:32.160 So how big now do you think this makes this 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.039 weekend's game to essentially, you know, after coming you know, 0:04:36.080 --> 0:04:38.839 three game losing streak, just overall the mentality of the team, 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.359 the feel about it. Do I mean, we never like 0:04:41.400 --> 0:04:43.400 to say that one game is must win or a 0:04:43.520 --> 0:04:45.360 huge deal, But I do feel like this game has 0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:48.159 a lot of significance. Yeah, before this last game, I 0:04:48.160 --> 0:04:50.400 think you're asked me a similar question. My opinion on 0:04:50.440 --> 0:04:53.279 the matter was that the Buccaneers had more to gain 0:04:53.440 --> 0:04:56.880 from winning than they had to lose from from losing, right, 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:59.520 didn't I say that? Because if you had gone to 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.559 three and two and you were one game out of first, 0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:04.160 and you had two division wins already in your pocket, 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.080 both of them on the road, that's a really good 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.760 position to be in. Falling to two and three where 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:13.000 they have isn't isn't good, of course, but it's not disastrous. 0:05:13.080 --> 0:05:14.680 Now you have a chance to get back to three 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.279 with Cleveland here. Cleveland is definitely an improved team, but 0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.200 now you're at home and they are one of the 0:05:20.360 --> 0:05:23.160 you know, after playing this pretty difficult start to the 0:05:23.200 --> 0:05:26.800 season on paper, this is a I don't want to 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:30.240 use the word easier, but kind of easier matchup. And 0:05:30.279 --> 0:05:33.279 again you're at home, the offense is still clicking under 0:05:33.360 --> 0:05:35.920 Jamis Winston. So it is an opportunity to get back 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:38.720 on track, and and I do think that's big. Falling 0:05:38.760 --> 0:05:41.640 to two and four would be worrisome, particularly because that's 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.640 four losses in a row, and as Jeff Ryan likes 0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:45.479 to say on our SELFI dogs podcasts all the time, 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:48.920 that's when things start. It's not losing one game, it's 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:51.200 when one turns into two and then that turns into three. 0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.280 Same thing happens on the winning side. If we can 0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:56.120 get there. Yeah, both winning and losing is contagious, and 0:05:56.160 --> 0:05:58.800 you definitely don't want to get that four. With four 0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.280 straight losses, we wouldn't be able to sit here next 0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:03.520 week on the same show and say, yeah, everything's still 0:06:03.600 --> 0:06:05.599 We're still in good spot. Right. Let's at that point 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.600 we'll be saying it's not over, but we got a 0:06:07.600 --> 0:06:09.880 hold of day out. Yeah, that's very true. And uh, 0:06:09.920 --> 0:06:11.760 speaking of the odds of being able to turn around 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:14.080 the ship, Jarrett said, there's no way that Baker Mayfield 0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.279 comes to Tampa and drops five tds, right, So I 0:06:17.320 --> 0:06:20.680 think that it's this idea of we've played some prolific offenses. 0:06:20.680 --> 0:06:22.520 So yes, the defense knows they have not been playing 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.040 how they need to. But you know, we've gone against 0:06:25.080 --> 0:06:28.599 the likes of Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberger and Matt Ryan, 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.160 and I mean it's it's a tough We've talked all 0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.640 offseason about that tough beginning stretch. So, um, do you 0:06:34.680 --> 0:06:38.000 feel like now, regardless of any changes even being made 0:06:38.040 --> 0:06:40.480 with Mike Smith and Mark Up, that already the defense 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.279 has the potential to have a much better game simply 0:06:43.279 --> 0:06:46.320 because you're not going against a potential future Hall of Famer. 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:48.360 I'm a pretty big Baker Mayfield fan, and I think 0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:50.160 he's got a lot of really good days ahead of him, 0:06:50.200 --> 0:06:52.359 and I personally think it's possible he could have a 0:06:52.360 --> 0:06:54.479 big game it happens, you know. I mean, you said 0:06:54.480 --> 0:06:57.279 all the great quarterbacks we faced, but it was Mitchell Trabiskie, 0:06:57.480 --> 0:06:59.400 who didn't exactly have a good track record, who's that 0:06:59.440 --> 0:07:02.960 very best day maybe against. So I don't I don't 0:07:02.960 --> 0:07:06.520 say that because I anticipate that happening, but it certainly can. Uh. 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.760 But yeah, if the defense, like last week, we were 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:12.680 coming off that horrible Chicago game and then through the 0:07:12.720 --> 0:07:14.800 by and we're hoping, as coach Cutter said when he 0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:17.320 was explaining why he didn't make the Mike Smith decision 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:20.280 then but then he did this week, they were hoping 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.040 that the changes they made in the game plan they 0:07:22.080 --> 0:07:24.240 came up with would produce better defensive results and you 0:07:24.240 --> 0:07:27.720 wouldn't have to do something drastic and then that didn't happen. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:32.680 So um, if you could just make a small improvement 0:07:32.840 --> 0:07:35.800 before the Cleveland game, the you know, like you're saying, 0:07:35.800 --> 0:07:38.680 it's an opportunity for the defense to make a small 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:41.840 step forward and that's enough to probably get a win. Okay, 0:07:42.000 --> 0:07:44.400 And Kevin wants to know, do you see us making 0:07:44.440 --> 0:07:47.160 any trades to help the secondary? Yeah, I'm just gonna 0:07:47.160 --> 0:07:48.760 have to say the same thing I say whenever these 0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:52.040 trade questions come up. It's possible, but they it's just 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:54.320 look back in history. How often has it happened. It's 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:56.600 just doesn't happen that often. There's not a lot of 0:07:56.600 --> 0:07:58.880 guys that are going to be difference makers that are 0:07:58.880 --> 0:08:01.480 being traded now. I know there are rumors out there 0:08:01.520 --> 0:08:04.000 about certain players being available, which we can't really address 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:06.800 directly because they're under contracts other teams. Right And as 0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:08.560 I'll go in and addressing you, we had Paul asked 0:08:08.600 --> 0:08:11.480 us about Patrick Peterson because we we see your comments 0:08:11.480 --> 0:08:13.640 and questions, but unfortunately that's just not something we can 0:08:13.680 --> 0:08:17.720 really get into. I just go back to history. It's 0:08:17.760 --> 0:08:19.960 just getting an impact player on either side of the 0:08:20.000 --> 0:08:21.760 ball at the trade deadline in the NFL is so 0:08:21.880 --> 0:08:24.560 rare that I just never count on it. If it happens, great, 0:08:24.560 --> 0:08:27.360 but it's rare, right. Um. We also had a question 0:08:27.360 --> 0:08:30.640 from de Kwan actually about the radio show last night 0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:33.559 where um, I got to talk with JPP for an hour, 0:08:33.640 --> 0:08:37.640 which was amazing. He's he's great. He is very candid, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:43.040 very insightful. Um, so passionate about football in this team. Uh, 0:08:43.120 --> 0:08:46.200 de Kwan wants to know our what the impression of 0:08:46.440 --> 0:08:49.400 his answer. Somebody called in and asked about seeing some 0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:52.640 of the defensive guys dancing on the sideline after they 0:08:52.640 --> 0:08:55.880 had stopped on a third down, and people were saying 0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:58.680 that they didn't like how it looked because it was 0:08:58.760 --> 0:09:01.160 just a stop on they're down there acting like they've 0:09:01.600 --> 0:09:04.600 done something more, and so JPP was asked his thoughts 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.160 on it, and he was just kind of I think 0:09:07.480 --> 0:09:09.160 I'm trying to remember the essence of what he said, 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:12.760 but basically the idea of that he felt like, yeah, 0:09:12.800 --> 0:09:15.560 like we need to be more accountable for our behavior 0:09:15.600 --> 0:09:17.280 and stuff. He seemed to believe that, yeah, we need 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:19.320 to take things a little bit more seriously. I don't 0:09:19.320 --> 0:09:21.319 know I wasn't as offended by it because I'm a 0:09:21.360 --> 0:09:24.880 big I'm a big advocate of supporting when you do 0:09:24.960 --> 0:09:27.000 something well and celebrating it because then that can be 0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:29.319 especially on defense, you've got to have that attitude of 0:09:29.840 --> 0:09:32.160 getting excited and getting rolling, and you've got to be 0:09:32.160 --> 0:09:33.840 fired up, and especially when you don't have the home 0:09:33.920 --> 0:09:38.040 crowd behind you. I and maybe I'll just sound like 0:09:38.080 --> 0:09:41.040 a Homer here saying this, but I I was not well. 0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.680 But I did think Jpp's answer was interesting. That he's 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.000 just big on individual accountability. I think was what he 0:09:46.040 --> 0:09:48.319 was saying, of taking care of who you need to 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:49.920 be on the field, and he didn't sound like he 0:09:49.920 --> 0:09:51.560 really made a judgment on them one way or the other. 0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.800 But well, I would draw a distinction between some bits 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:57.319 of celebration and others, and I think that thing tends 0:09:57.360 --> 0:10:01.200 to bother fans. I think, like I've seen people they 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:04.360 hear about the players laughing on the plane flight back 0:10:04.440 --> 0:10:07.599 or something like that. And your tendency sometimes as a 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:09.640 fan after things go badly, is to want everybody to 0:10:09.679 --> 0:10:12.400 suffer and willow and suffering for as long as possible, 0:10:12.440 --> 0:10:14.400 And at some point it's just human nature. You get 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:16.719 excited about things that go well. I would say it's 0:10:16.720 --> 0:10:19.280 a case by case basis. If you're losing forty two 0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:21.760 nothing to the Titans and in Austin, Soferian Jenkins is 0:10:21.840 --> 0:10:24.040 high stepping it into the end zone after a touchdown, 0:10:24.520 --> 0:10:27.880 that's bad. But if in the NFL you said it 0:10:27.920 --> 0:10:31.000 a little bit, don't you want your defensive players to 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.079 be fired up and having fun. They talked about that 0:10:33.120 --> 0:10:35.400 all the time. They're just hanging their heads after stuff. 0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.000 They're not going to start turning things around. If you 0:10:38.040 --> 0:10:39.680 make a big play, you're going to celebrate it. And 0:10:39.720 --> 0:10:42.200 that game was never completely out of hand now, so 0:10:42.480 --> 0:10:44.200 there was really if you get a big stop, you're 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:46.560 gonna want to celebrate. And sometimes, as we've talked about 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:49.320 it here before, even when your defensive results overall aren't 0:10:49.400 --> 0:10:51.240 very good, you win the game sometimes just because you 0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.600 get one or two key stops that could have been 0:10:53.600 --> 0:10:55.640 a very important play. I'm not familiar with the player 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:57.199 you're talking about, but it could have been a key 0:10:57.240 --> 0:10:59.560 play in the game. So that one from your description 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.400 doesn't buy on me at all. Karl wants to know 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.480 when Kindle back with is coming back. Well, he'll be 0:11:03.559 --> 0:11:08.439 eligible to come back starting this week. However, when asked 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:12.400 about that last week, coach Cutter definitely did not define 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.600 that would be this week. He left the door open eligible, 0:11:15.679 --> 0:11:17.600 but yeah, you don't. You've got about a three week 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:20.080 window to do something, and if you don't put him 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:22.760 back on the active roster by the end of that window, 0:11:22.800 --> 0:11:24.439 then he's just basically on I R for the rest 0:11:24.440 --> 0:11:27.679 of the year. So definitely, from the tone of his answer, 0:11:28.000 --> 0:11:29.600 it didn't sound to me like he'd be back this 0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:31.480 week even though he could, so I guess you just 0:11:31.480 --> 0:11:34.600 crush your fingers and hope it's in the two weeks 0:11:35.040 --> 0:11:37.800 still exists. Andrew said, what can Dufner do different to 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:40.760 improve the defense that Mike Smith wasn't doing? Well, That's 0:11:40.800 --> 0:11:43.520 an excellent question, and that's really the question, right And 0:11:43.720 --> 0:11:46.000 I don't know if there's a fantastic answer to it, 0:11:46.480 --> 0:11:50.719 because presumably you're not overhauling the playbook. You have your 0:11:50.760 --> 0:11:53.439 same package of the things that you do. You could. 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:57.040 To me, the only answer is you emphasize certain things 0:11:57.080 --> 0:12:00.360 you and de emphasize other things because it's all coming 0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:04.440 from the same place. I guess he could make some 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:08.120 personnel changes, but what would those be You know, we're 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:10.800 kind of with Chris Conti and Vernon Hargrave's both out, 0:12:10.880 --> 0:12:13.000 you don't have a lot of leeway from making changes 0:12:13.040 --> 0:12:17.000 on defense right Um, with maybe with more the defensive 0:12:17.040 --> 0:12:19.040 line getting healthy, and that will depend up a little 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:21.720 bit of how Jerald McCoy is feeling. You could get back, 0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:25.040 you could finally get to that deeper rotation that you 0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:26.640 wanted to have at the beginning of the year. You 0:12:26.679 --> 0:12:28.760 could blitz more, you could blitz less. We did blitz 0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:30.880 a little bit more in Atlanta, and it was with 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.760 mixed results. You have to blitz more effectively. It's not 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.320 just blitzing, as we talked about before the game. I 0:12:37.360 --> 0:12:40.000 think going into that game. I looked this up before 0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.640 the Planta game because I knew people were talking about, hey, 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:43.720 we need a blitz more because we're not getting there. Well, 0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.080 we were giving up a one point eight passer rating 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:48.000 on place when we blitzed, So there's no point in 0:12:48.040 --> 0:12:51.000 blitz and all the time if it's not working. Uh, 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:52.720 And speaking of this, this kind of goes to that 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.280 same point. Chad said, well, our defense be more aggressive, 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:56.600 and I think there's a lot of ways you can 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:59.080 take the idea of more aggressive, whether you mean the 0:12:59.160 --> 0:13:01.680 type of cover that your corners are playing, you know, 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:05.240 at the line of scrimmage versus blitzain versus. Yeah, so well, 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:07.080 how would you take that question of how what are 0:13:07.080 --> 0:13:08.880 the ways you potentially could see them being more or 0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:10.840 less aggressive? Yeah, that's about it, really right. You can 0:13:10.880 --> 0:13:13.480 play more aggressive coverages. I guess somebody could say that 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:15.840 playing man is a more aggressive way playing defense and 0:13:15.840 --> 0:13:18.320 playing zone. Um, so I guess you could play more 0:13:18.360 --> 0:13:20.680 man to man courage, you play more press coverage, you 0:13:20.720 --> 0:13:24.120 could blitz more often, And that's really about it. And 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:26.400 Nick had asked do you think that we'll see more 0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:29.760 press coverage? He said he's tired of seeing the drop 0:13:29.760 --> 0:13:31.959 off of the five to ten yard off coverage. I 0:13:31.960 --> 0:13:33.040 think a lot of people have been asking you for that, 0:13:33.120 --> 0:13:35.720 especially since Carlton Davis was drafted. But of course he 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:37.920 wasn't a probably the best press corner, but he wasn't 0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:41.200 available exactly. So um, yeah, that could happen. Sure, Okay, 0:13:42.280 --> 0:13:45.160 that's true. Um And then Mark asked, are there any 0:13:45.200 --> 0:13:47.199 updates on Hargraves and Davis? I know one of those. 0:13:47.240 --> 0:13:49.520 We definitely have an update, well, not an update but 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:51.760 we just know, Yeah, well, except for the fact that 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.800 you can come back from my r R. That's it 0:13:53.880 --> 0:13:56.000 seemed to me that the sentiment when Hargraves went on 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:58.200 injuries or was his injury was not likely to be 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:00.040 one that he could come back from this season. And 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:02.480 then Carlton Davis was, you know, he's been more of 0:14:02.480 --> 0:14:04.920 a day to day thing. I think he was right 0:14:05.000 --> 0:14:07.640 up to game time decision in a couple of games 0:14:07.640 --> 0:14:09.480 this week, and then the last one it was it 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.360 was decided he couldn't go. He's got a couple of 0:14:11.360 --> 0:14:13.360 things going on because he's had the groin injury I think, 0:14:13.480 --> 0:14:16.439 and then or was his knee. He had the groin 0:14:16.679 --> 0:14:19.920 and then he had the tweaked Yeah, so that was 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:21.520 the different That was the thing is that it was 0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:22.800 it looked like he was going to be fine, and 0:14:22.800 --> 0:14:24.600 it was a second. Yeah. The same thing happened to 0:14:24.920 --> 0:14:27.400 Jordan Whitehead the previous week. So we've had some bad 0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.360 luck on the practice field because it's usually if you're 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.440 if you're getting guys hurt with little nagging injuries on 0:14:31.440 --> 0:14:33.720 the practice field, it's usually you're like thirty four year 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:36.160 old veterans, not your rookies. You know why we've been 0:14:36.160 --> 0:14:38.680 having such poor luck in that regard. But I don't 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:40.960 think he's got anything that's long term, so hopefully he'll 0:14:40.960 --> 0:14:42.640 be back this week. Okay, well, it's going to do 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:45.360 it for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.360 presented by Miller Lite.
