WEBVTT - Facing Rams' Aaron Donald & Another Shaq Barrett Great Performance | Bucs Insider Live 0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:03.400 Welcome in to Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller like 0:00:03.520 --> 0:00:05.640 Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here and this is where 0:00:05.640 --> 0:00:07.920 we ask all the questions from you guys. We get 0:00:07.920 --> 0:00:09.920 a chance to answer those. And if you're not already 0:00:09.920 --> 0:00:11.799 watching on Facebook, make sure your head over there. That's 0:00:11.800 --> 0:00:14.360 where we can find those questions that you guys have. Um, 0:00:14.400 --> 0:00:15.800 just make sure you leave them in a comment section 0:00:15.880 --> 0:00:19.600 underneath the actual live video on here. So as we've 0:00:19.600 --> 0:00:21.439 already got a lot of people that are chiming in here, 0:00:21.560 --> 0:00:23.520 um already, we actually can start with this. I was 0:00:23.560 --> 0:00:25.480 gonna ask you about this news to begin with anyways, 0:00:25.480 --> 0:00:27.640 And Austin already asked what are the Bucks going to 0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:31.200 do with the extra cap from JPP? Oh? Well, I 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.239 don't think we can know right now, right, I mean, 0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:37.760 there's plenty of things. Yeah, you caught me by surprise 0:00:37.800 --> 0:00:40.320 on that one. I don't know at this moment. You Nope, 0:00:40.320 --> 0:00:42.400 I definitely don't know the plan. Um. But I mean 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.400 it is always nice to know that you have, all 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:46.080 of a sudden this time of year and all of 0:00:46.080 --> 0:00:49.200 a sudden end up with extra cap space super often. Well, 0:00:49.200 --> 0:00:52.680 what if you started talking to Shack Barrett about an extension. 0:00:53.200 --> 0:00:56.120 Would one deal right now? Yeah, that's a really great point. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:57.400 Seems like a guy I'd like to keep around a 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.000 little bit longer. That's a really great point. We again, 0:00:59.000 --> 0:01:00.480 so as we give people a chance to submit some 0:01:00.520 --> 0:01:02.880 of their questions in that live video, figured we go 0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.160 and start talking a little bit about the game against 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:07.120 l A that you know, playing against a team that 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.920 was in the Super Bowl last year. How similar or 0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.520 different do they seem to be from that team and 0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:14.640 is it going to still be a team that is 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.640 potentially a Super Bowl content. Well, statistically, it seems like 0:01:17.760 --> 0:01:19.759 they're getting things done in a different way. They're three 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:21.840 and oh, so they're getting it done. Uh. Last year 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.959 they scored i think thirty two points seven points per game. 0:01:24.000 --> 0:01:26.679 Only the Chiefs scored more. And while their defense was 0:01:26.720 --> 0:01:30.360 good and obviously revolves around Aaron Donald, Um, they were 0:01:30.400 --> 0:01:34.000 clearly an offensive led team. Um. It turned out differently 0:01:34.040 --> 0:01:36.160 in the Super Bowl, as it turns out. But uh, 0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:38.640 this year, their offense is good, but it's about middle 0:01:38.640 --> 0:01:40.520 of the pack right now, and their defense has been 0:01:40.640 --> 0:01:43.679 very good. So uh, I would just say that's probably 0:01:43.680 --> 0:01:47.119 small sample size. They still have almost everybody back from 0:01:47.200 --> 0:01:49.279 last year. Really, the only two changes on their offense 0:01:49.280 --> 0:01:52.520 were two guys on the offensive line. Their left guard 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.280 and their center are new and their young second year players, 0:01:55.280 --> 0:01:58.360 and I think the offensive line maybe has has struggled 0:01:58.400 --> 0:02:00.760 just a little bit for the RAM so far. But 0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.200 that's a lot of potential on that offense. One thing 0:02:03.200 --> 0:02:06.279 about it is they've got those three receivers, Robert Woods 0:02:06.280 --> 0:02:10.120 and Cooper Cup and Brandon Cooks, and they're on the 0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:12.119 field all the time. You know how teams use three 0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.480 receiver sets and you see two tight insets. All three 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.080 of those guys are on the are on the field 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:18.280 for more than their snaps. So that's what you're gonna 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:19.960 see all the time, all three of those guys. And 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:22.160 you've got Brandon Cooks who can take the top off. 0:02:22.400 --> 0:02:24.800 You've got Robert Woods who does everything, does jet sweeps, 0:02:24.800 --> 0:02:27.120 there's a good blockers, a good all around receiver. And 0:02:27.200 --> 0:02:29.320 the Cooper Cup is the one getting all the high volume. 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.000 He's a more of a possession type receiver, you know, 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.639 like eleven point five yards per catch, but he catches 0:02:34.639 --> 0:02:37.760 everything really well. He gets open and uh so you've 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.760 got all those different types of receivers. They do their 0:02:39.760 --> 0:02:41.840 own things, They have their own niches in that offense, 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:45.000 but all of that plus tied Gurley makes for a 0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.919 pretty hard offensive stop. So even though their offensive numbers 0:02:47.919 --> 0:02:49.919 haven't been through the roof this year, they've definitely been 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.560 in decline from the year before. That's probably just a 0:02:52.560 --> 0:02:54.320 small sample size, so I think this is a really 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:57.919 tough offense. Um, we have a couple of people asking 0:02:58.080 --> 0:03:01.400 about Devin white Jade, you know when he's going to 0:03:01.400 --> 0:03:03.560 potentially be back or what we know about him. David 0:03:03.560 --> 0:03:05.600 had also asked about him, So when when do we 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:07.840 know if you know, he's going to be able to return. 0:03:07.960 --> 0:03:10.880 So we always have the show on Wednesdays in the morning, 0:03:10.880 --> 0:03:13.120 and it's always a few hours before the first injury 0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:15.400 report comes out. And since we're playing the Rams and 0:03:15.440 --> 0:03:17.720 there are three hours behind, the injury report probably won't 0:03:17.760 --> 0:03:20.920 be out until late this afternoon, maybe early evening, but 0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.600 that'll be our first opportunity because during the portion of 0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:26.240 practice that was open to the media and there for 0:03:26.480 --> 0:03:28.799 us that we can talk about, they were just doing 0:03:28.800 --> 0:03:31.120 special teams, which Devon doesn't really do anyway. So we 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:33.320 don't have a report yet or until coach says it 0:03:33.360 --> 0:03:36.760 in his post practice press conference, if he says these 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.000 guys didn't practice, then we'll have a little bit better idea. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:42.000 I you know, he didn't practice at all last week 0:03:42.360 --> 0:03:44.480 and then was out for the game. It wouldn't surprise 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.920 me if he was still sidelined for a little while longer. 0:03:46.960 --> 0:03:49.360 But the fact that coach continues to say I'm still 0:03:49.400 --> 0:03:51.880 calling it day to day tells me they think he's 0:03:51.920 --> 0:03:55.320 not that far away. Okay, um, Gary had asked about 0:03:55.520 --> 0:03:58.280 do you think Rojo is gonna be getting the starting spot? 0:03:58.320 --> 0:04:00.120 So I figured overall we can just talk about the 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.080 two running backs and and the fact that they're they're 0:04:02.080 --> 0:04:05.960 both doing well. Yeah, and Rojo's looked really good, really 0:04:05.960 --> 0:04:07.720 really good, and I think he's going to continue to 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:12.600 get you know, more and more higher percentage of the snaps. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.240 I guess we get this question every week, so I 0:04:15.240 --> 0:04:17.680 guess it's important to people, maybe because of fantasy football, 0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.960 who starts running back? The really the much more important 0:04:21.000 --> 0:04:24.359 question is who gets more snaps? And if Rojo continues 0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.800 to run the way he is. You know, Peyton has 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.840 been good too, but I think if you look at 0:04:28.839 --> 0:04:31.400 their yards per carry, Rojo's definitely head and He's had 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.560 some more dynamic runs. Peyton's had a couple as well, 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.360 but I think Rojo seems to be consistently giving us 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.520 those dynamic runs with the second cuts six or seven 0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.800 yards downfield for another three or four or five yards 0:04:42.839 --> 0:04:45.359 probably a better big play. We haven't really broken a 0:04:45.400 --> 0:04:47.360 real big one yet, probably a better option for that, 0:04:47.800 --> 0:04:50.839 and we've we've seen him in the in the passing game. 0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:52.520 Hasn't got a lot of throws, but when we've thrown 0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:56.400 to him it's worked really well. So UM, I don't 0:04:56.400 --> 0:04:59.159 think it matters a ton who starts. I guess at 0:04:59.200 --> 0:05:01.920 some point you have two running backs and one of 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:03.800 them gets to such a higher percentage or the other 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:06.120 that he's clearly the higher use guy, then you might 0:05:06.160 --> 0:05:09.000 just go ahead and make the change. But more importantly 0:05:09.040 --> 0:05:10.640 is how many snaps do they each get? And I 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:13.640 think it's going to continue to sort of turn in 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:16.599 Rojo's favor. Kevin had asked, how much more can the 0:05:16.680 --> 0:05:19.440 defense improve during this season? You think, well, they can 0:05:19.480 --> 0:05:21.719 improve quite a bit over last week, at least in 0:05:21.720 --> 0:05:24.840 the secondary. Um. I felt this way, and I think 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.320 most people did, but coach arians said it, so we 0:05:28.360 --> 0:05:31.560 can you know, repeat what he said. The front, the 0:05:31.600 --> 0:05:33.800 defensive front, the front seven or eight or whatever you 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.200 want to call it. Front six played very well and 0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:37.760 there was a lot of pressure on the quarterback. There 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:41.160 was nowhere to run for the running backs. But the 0:05:41.200 --> 0:05:43.560 secondary had his worst game, and there was some blown assignments, 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:45.920 particularly on the big catch by Sterling Shepherd in the 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:48.640 game winning drive. Uh, And it just was not a 0:05:48.680 --> 0:05:50.400 really good game for those guys. You know, they had 0:05:50.440 --> 0:05:53.800 played pretty well in the first two weeks, but we're 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.000 still talking about a lot of really young guys. And 0:05:56.040 --> 0:05:57.800 I think there's a lot of room for improvement for 0:05:57.800 --> 0:06:00.200 those guys to you know, get more experience and and 0:06:00.720 --> 0:06:03.760 learn to communicate well and and you know, just become 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.479 a better unit altogether. And it's it's probably hard to 0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:09.599 do when you're starting a rookie safety, a first year safety, 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.279 a second year cornerback, a second year quarterback. At nicol 0:06:12.360 --> 0:06:15.279 and Vernon Hargraves is your you know, your elder statesman. 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.200 That group, it's a young group. I think there's room 0:06:17.240 --> 0:06:19.440 for improvement there. I don't know if you can ask 0:06:19.480 --> 0:06:21.080 for a whole lot more from what your D line 0:06:21.120 --> 0:06:23.400 is doing, because they've been just absolutely phenomenal is the 0:06:23.480 --> 0:06:27.080 run and their pressure is helping Shack in particular, but 0:06:27.160 --> 0:06:29.880 also Carl gets quarterback. So it's on the back end 0:06:29.920 --> 0:06:32.640 that we have to get better. Um. Justin asked, why 0:06:32.680 --> 0:06:34.240 did we take the foot off the gas in the 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.960 second half on something. I don't think they took the 0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:37.920 foot off the gas. I just think they didn't execute. 0:06:38.000 --> 0:06:40.440 I mean there was in the third quarter we just 0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:43.359 didn't convert on some third downs. Um. That happened also 0:06:43.400 --> 0:06:45.560 in the in the fourth quarter on the you know, 0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:47.320 the one where Cam got tripped up. If we'd have 0:06:47.360 --> 0:06:51.120 made that third down, we probably would have, uh you know, 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:52.960 probably would have been able to run off the clock 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.080 or get close to it. Um. The only thing I 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:59.080 would say in agreement to that is the fourth and 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.040 two play when we were up by three and fourth 0:07:01.080 --> 0:07:02.480 and two and their five on third and two, we 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:06.920 ran a read option. Uh. Coach said that Jami has 0:07:07.000 --> 0:07:08.680 made the right read because of what the end did 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:10.920 to give it to Peyton and he didn't have to 0:07:10.960 --> 0:07:12.280 get five yards for a touch and he just had 0:07:12.320 --> 0:07:13.960 to get two to get a first down, and we 0:07:14.040 --> 0:07:16.600 just didn't block it well on the front end. So, Um, 0:07:16.720 --> 0:07:18.560 you get to that point. Now it's fourth and two. 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:20.800 At the five, you're up by three. If you kick 0:07:20.840 --> 0:07:23.239 a field goal, which we did, then you're up by six. 0:07:23.360 --> 0:07:25.240 But either way, a touchdown is gonna beat you, and 0:07:25.280 --> 0:07:27.920 that is in what ended up happening. So I might 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:30.520 agree with the with the assessment of taking the foot 0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:32.280 off the guests and choosing to kick the field goal 0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.240 and so the touchdown there, But I don't think from 0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.200 a play calling standpoint, that's what we were doing. I 0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:40.240 think I think they they stumbled out of the halftime 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.200 and didn't execute wall on offense. I don't think it 0:07:42.240 --> 0:07:45.960 was a matter of strategy, you know what I'm saying. Okay, Yeah, 0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.880 Jim asked why hasn't o J been involved the more 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:50.680 he was in the last game, And I think they 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:52.720 made a particular effort to do so, and they hit 0:07:52.760 --> 0:07:55.880 him downfield several times. He drew in a big pass 0:07:55.920 --> 0:08:00.880 interference on another downfield pass. So after the first two games. 0:08:00.880 --> 0:08:02.640 In the first game, of course o J had you know, 0:08:02.720 --> 0:08:04.239 he had a couple of miss kews. He had a fumble, 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:05.480 he had a ball that went through his hands and 0:08:05.520 --> 0:08:08.520 was intercepted. He actually got targeted. He had four catches 0:08:08.520 --> 0:08:10.840 in that game, was targeted several other times in the 0:08:10.880 --> 0:08:13.760 Carolina game, the ball didn't find him. The coaches said 0:08:13.760 --> 0:08:16.600 that was just a product of who they decided to cover. 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.480 The best example being Chris Godwin's twenty touchdown, which was 0:08:20.520 --> 0:08:24.160 a pair of really well run uh posts, right to 0:08:24.320 --> 0:08:27.000 posts together and OJ was the other one. The defense 0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:29.680 went towards him, left no safety over the top for Chris, 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:31.480 and so James made the right reading through to Chris. 0:08:31.480 --> 0:08:32.959 Had been the other way around, he probably would have 0:08:32.960 --> 0:08:35.680 thrown to o J. And in this last game, other 0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:38.319 than than Mike Evans, I think o J was the 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:40.880 number two options in that game. So yeah, that's a 0:08:40.880 --> 0:08:43.000 great point. Kevin said, what would you say is the 0:08:43.000 --> 0:08:45.240 over under on how many sacks Shack Barrett will end 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.360 up with this year? That's a really good question because 0:08:48.400 --> 0:08:52.480 right because he's on you know, eight after three would 0:08:52.480 --> 0:08:56.040 be like two and two thirds times sixteen, close to forty, 0:08:56.240 --> 0:09:01.600 so probably forty. No, yeah, that's standard. Uh You obviously 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:05.320 you can't expect him to continue to get uh three 0:09:05.400 --> 0:09:08.120 or four sex every week. But I don't think what 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:10.480 he's done has been flukey. I think he's getting a 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.959 lot of one on one opportunities because as we said, 0:09:13.400 --> 0:09:16.960 Vida Vea and and Sue and uh Will Golston are 0:09:17.000 --> 0:09:20.800 all doing well and commanding double team blocks because there's 0:09:20.880 --> 0:09:23.440 there they're just so hard. They're powerful men, and they're 0:09:23.440 --> 0:09:27.520 hard to stop. So they're they're letting they're who whether 0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:29.040 it's a tight end or the tackle on that end, 0:09:29.120 --> 0:09:32.080 they're letting him. You know, this is a guy's your responsibility, 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:33.880 and Shacks just making all kinds of really good moves. 0:09:33.880 --> 0:09:35.680 I mean, he's had somewhere he's powered the guy back, 0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:38.360 but he seems to be particularly good at you know, 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:40.760 as soon as he engages with that tackle on the outside, 0:09:41.000 --> 0:09:43.160 he gets that shoulder low and then is able to 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:45.840 accelerate around him right and then and then again on 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.080 another play. And you know where I know this from 0:09:48.160 --> 0:09:51.640 is because I watched Randy Barber's film session thing, which 0:09:51.640 --> 0:09:53.679 is one of my favorite videos on the website every week, 0:09:53.679 --> 0:09:56.160 and I would highly recommend watching that every week, and 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.000 this week he'll give you a little bit more idea 0:09:58.480 --> 0:10:01.280 of why Shack was so successf game. And like one 0:10:01.360 --> 0:10:04.800 of the Shacks Sacks that's fun to say was actually 0:10:04.840 --> 0:10:07.400 Karl Nassa just completely had a straight arm on the 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.280 tackle and just pushed him all the way back to 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.520 Danil Jones and forced Daniel Jones over that way and 0:10:11.720 --> 0:10:14.400 then here comes Shack. So Karl Nassa really made that 0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.400 play happen, but Jack did what he had to do. Um. So, 0:10:17.440 --> 0:10:18.839 I've been talking about Shack for a while. I can't 0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:21.959 remember what how many sacks you think he's gonna So 0:10:22.080 --> 0:10:24.720 he's playing well, so I don't expect him to just 0:10:24.960 --> 0:10:26.280 all of a sudden, this was a fluke and it 0:10:26.280 --> 0:10:29.559 gets no more. So let's say, uh, you know, he 0:10:29.559 --> 0:10:31.679 has a couple other two seconds which agave him to 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:35.120 twelve one. I'd say fourteen or fifteen, which would be 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:38.200 close to the Buccaneer records. That'd be incredible, That'd be awesome. 0:10:38.640 --> 0:10:41.400 Jacob asked, what have you seen as Brichard Perriman's role 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.640 so far? Well, I mean he is the third guy. 0:10:43.640 --> 0:10:45.480 He's on the field a lot as your third receiver, 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.400 and so far we've been throwing him the ball kind 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:50.240 of underneath a lot. You know, he's he's kind of 0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:52.600 a speedster. He's had a lot of big plays last 0:10:52.679 --> 0:10:54.720 year in the second half for Cleveland. But we've been 0:10:54.760 --> 0:10:57.520 sending as you saw him last game. Mike Evans deep constantly, 0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.280 and Chris Godwin gets some kind of more like winning 0:11:00.280 --> 0:11:03.319 in twenty yard targets, and when the ball does find Brushott, 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.400 it seems to be finding him underneath a little bit more. 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:07.920 These catches are all like five and six yards so far. 0:11:08.440 --> 0:11:09.959 He had the opportunity to catch that one in the 0:11:10.040 --> 0:11:12.360 end zone in Carolina. It was a tough play. Didn't 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:13.920 make that play. That would have been a bigger play. 0:11:14.000 --> 0:11:15.920 But he's out there on the field as your number, 0:11:16.080 --> 0:11:19.160 as your three receiver, your third receiver, and the Bucks, 0:11:19.200 --> 0:11:21.920 like every NFL team does a lot of three receiver sets. 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.400 He probably should get some bigger numbers going forward, but 0:11:26.400 --> 0:11:28.319 I would think it would be, you know, one game, 0:11:28.360 --> 0:11:30.120 maybe it's three or four catches in one game. He 0:11:30.160 --> 0:11:32.080 doesn't it Just again, who's the ball going to find? 0:11:32.840 --> 0:11:36.360 Ken asked, what's the game plan for stopping Todd Gurley? Well, 0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:38.880 I think, you know, you could feel a little bit 0:11:38.880 --> 0:11:41.360 confident in this regard after what they did against Christian 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.240 McCaffrey and sick when Barkley back to back, and I 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:46.160 know Barkley got hurt and was out the second half, 0:11:46.880 --> 0:11:50.320 but even before that they were phenomenal in stopping him 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:52.680 and Todd Gurley like, I mean again, this is like 0:11:52.679 --> 0:11:55.320 a murder's row of the hardest running backs in league 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:58.000 to stop. But after you do so well against McCaffrey 0:11:58.080 --> 0:12:00.400 and Um and Barkley, you gotta believe we have shot. 0:12:00.640 --> 0:12:02.440 And it's the same thing we talked about last week. 0:12:02.480 --> 0:12:06.000 It's gap integrity and it's swarming to the ball and 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.839 we've been doing that. All you gotta do is keep 0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:10.400 doing what you've been doing. Yeah, Travis asked Um, how 0:12:10.400 --> 0:12:12.160 many wins you feel like it is feasible over the 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:16.280 six week road game stretch of what would be considered successful. 0:12:16.320 --> 0:12:19.160 And it's five games. It's six weeks, but five games, 0:12:20.440 --> 0:12:24.360 two road trips, London bye week, two more road trips, 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:29.440 So it's five games in six weeks, Um, you know, 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:32.240 feasible for in the NFL, it's any anything from zero 0:12:32.280 --> 0:12:35.640 to five is feasible. And so if you want me 0:12:35.679 --> 0:12:37.559 to say a number in between, like two or three, 0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.400 then you're asking me to say, well, which ones we're 0:12:39.440 --> 0:12:40.960 gonna lose? And I don't think you go in any 0:12:41.000 --> 0:12:43.679 game with that, you know, with that mindset. But that 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:45.720 being said, if you're looking at this from the outside, 0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:47.280 I'm sure I know the Buccaneers are nine and a 0:12:47.280 --> 0:12:50.040 half point underdogs this week. I'm sure that what will 0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.960 be underdogs when we go to Seattle, and then the 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.160 other trips are New Orleans without Drew Brees and Tennessee, 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:57.040 and I would think those would be ones where we 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.400 would can be considered more like, you know, more of 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:02.920 an even thing. And then in Carolina, I mean in 0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.680 London where we're the home team, we're playing Carolina without 0:13:05.760 --> 0:13:07.439 Cam Newton. I don't know if that's better or worse 0:13:07.480 --> 0:13:10.360 at this point, considering the way Cam was limited, but 0:13:11.000 --> 0:13:12.400 I think most of the time you prefer not to 0:13:12.400 --> 0:13:17.079 play candid breeze, so feasible the answer that is five? 0:13:17.320 --> 0:13:18.960 Would what would you be happy with at the end 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:21.800 of this Three? Right, and then you'd be at five 0:13:22.160 --> 0:13:23.560 and then you're heading into an easier part of your 0:13:23.600 --> 0:13:25.400 schedule where you have a lot of home games. Right 0:13:25.800 --> 0:13:29.200 thre't we three and two? Yeah? We'd be Yeah. Three 0:13:29.240 --> 0:13:32.000 would be something that would make them happy they want five. 0:13:32.400 --> 0:13:33.800 I would be pretty pleased if at the end of 0:13:33.800 --> 0:13:36.040 this we had three wins. Okay, um, and we'll close 0:13:36.040 --> 0:13:37.640 out with this. When Steve asked why didn't we try 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:39.160 to get a touchdown at the end of the game 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:41.480 when we had time to try. So overall, now you've 0:13:41.480 --> 0:13:43.240 got to hear from coach few different times about all 0:13:43.320 --> 0:13:46.240 this was that that was the first time we got 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:49.480 the point blank question about what about this about the 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:51.480 very end, not the fourth and two I was talking about. 0:13:51.480 --> 0:13:56.040 But they so let's just go over that sequence because 0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:57.640 I can't believe we haven't talked about it till now. 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.280 Mike Evans catches the ball at the nine yard line 0:14:00.320 --> 0:14:01.920 with and they run up and spike it with about 0:14:01.920 --> 0:14:04.760 thirteen seconds left. The point is to maintain your time 0:14:04.760 --> 0:14:07.000 out so then you can position the ball where you 0:14:07.040 --> 0:14:08.959 want it, because they specifically wanted to get it off 0:14:09.000 --> 0:14:11.640 the right hash because while Mackay has been very, very good, 0:14:11.960 --> 0:14:14.000 if he's had problems, they've noticed it's been on the 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:15.720 right hash. So they wanted to get him off the 0:14:15.760 --> 0:14:18.080 right hash. So from the moment you catch the ball 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.040 with at the nine yard line and the offenses run 0:14:21.080 --> 0:14:22.960 down the field, your goal is to spike the ball 0:14:23.000 --> 0:14:25.160 to save your time out and then use another play 0:14:25.240 --> 0:14:27.280 to position the ball and then kick a shot field goal. 0:14:27.960 --> 0:14:31.240 That is a completely reasonable strategy that many, many, many, 0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.080 if not all, coaches in the NFL would take. It 0:14:33.200 --> 0:14:36.960 might be the highest percent a chance of success of 0:14:37.000 --> 0:14:40.200 all the strategies, because anyone you throw out there, you say, okay, 0:14:40.240 --> 0:14:42.680 let's run down the respect the ball. We have a 0:14:42.680 --> 0:14:44.720 time out, so let's throw one into the end zone. 0:14:44.960 --> 0:14:48.040 I don't have a problem with that concept. But you 0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.080 gotta admit you could throw an interception, you could get sacked, 0:14:51.120 --> 0:14:53.160 and now you're in real big trouble. Things can happen 0:14:53.200 --> 0:14:54.920 if you choose to run the ball. Maybe they'll be 0:14:54.960 --> 0:14:56.480 think it passed. Hey, we might catch them on a run. 0:14:56.640 --> 0:14:58.680 You can fumble. I'm not saying you will, But I 0:14:58.720 --> 0:15:01.000 also don't think you expect him miss a thirty four 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.920 yar field goal, right. I think any coach in the league, 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:06.960 after Mike catches that ball, if the outcome is we're 0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:08.480 down by one point and we're about to kick a 0:15:08.520 --> 0:15:10.480 thirty four yard feel gonna win. They're gonna take that. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:13.040 It's the most basic and obvious strategy, and it might 0:15:13.080 --> 0:15:16.480 even be the highest percentage one afterwards, and it's part 0:15:16.480 --> 0:15:18.480 of watching the game, and I understand it. But afterwards, 0:15:18.720 --> 0:15:20.080 it's easy to say, well, we could have thrown in 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:21.800 the end zone, or we could have run one more time. 0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:26.920 But the strategy that the coach took is completely reasonable 0:15:26.920 --> 0:15:28.600 and I think almost every coach in league would do 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.920 it now. In between, there was the delayed game penalty 0:15:32.120 --> 0:15:34.640 that turned a and then the kneel down costs two 0:15:34.640 --> 0:15:36.560 more yards, but the delayed game costs you five yards, 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:39.080 so it made the kick five yards further. There was 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.040 some there's been some complaints about the two things that 0:15:42.080 --> 0:15:45.440 Bruce said on Sunday and Monday, And except for one 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:47.880 little part of it, none of it's really contradictory. When 0:15:47.880 --> 0:15:49.880 he said he did it on purpose on Sunday, as 0:15:49.880 --> 0:15:51.760 he clarified on Monday, he means he saw that we 0:15:51.760 --> 0:15:53.640 were going to get the penalty. We couldn't get the 0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:56.480 snap off because of the substitutions and the ref standing 0:15:56.480 --> 0:15:59.400 over the ball, so he purposely made the decision to 0:15:59.480 --> 0:16:01.800 let the penalty happened rather than using the last time out, 0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.600 so then they could then position the ball. It's not 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:06.960 like he ran out there saying, I want a penalty 0:16:07.160 --> 0:16:08.440 for the nine. We can't kick from the nine. We 0:16:08.480 --> 0:16:10.520 need to kick from from the fourteen or the sixteen. 0:16:10.560 --> 0:16:13.000 After the kneel down. I don't have a problem with 0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:15.200 that either. And actually, if you look at those win 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.520 probability graphs that I sometimes bring up, which shows you 0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:21.040 know which team is expected to win in this particular situation, 0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:24.920 after the catch from Mike Evans, which would have put 0:16:25.000 --> 0:16:26.880 us in position for a twenty seven yard field goal, 0:16:27.560 --> 0:16:30.120 we were eighty two point to percent likelihood of winning. 0:16:30.360 --> 0:16:32.680 After the penalty, it dropped all the way to eight 0:16:32.840 --> 0:16:35.560 two point zero. The point being in the NFL, you 0:16:35.600 --> 0:16:37.520 expect your kicking to make a twenty seven or thirty 0:16:37.520 --> 0:16:40.760 two yard now, as it turned out, because of execution, 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.400 we missed it. And not only did Matt Gay miss it, 0:16:43.440 --> 0:16:45.440 but he missed it just barely to the right. And 0:16:45.480 --> 0:16:47.320 you think, if we're a five years culture, maybe that's 0:16:47.320 --> 0:16:50.200 in And that's totally true. But it doesn't mean that 0:16:50.240 --> 0:16:53.520 the strategy the execution lacked. It doesn't mean the strategy 0:16:53.600 --> 0:16:55.520 was wrong. Okay, Yeah, that's a great point. Yeah, that's 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:57.040 a great explanation. All right, Well, that's gonna do it 0:16:57.040 --> 0:16:59.560 for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live presented 0:16:59.560 --> 0:17:01.280 by Miller I, thanks so much for joining us, and 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:02.080 we'll see you next week.
