We've done all those 0:00:15.760 --> 0:00:18.600 training camp reports live. They are super fun. I love 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.159 me out there and having all the fans cheering, the 0:00:20.200 --> 0:00:23.279 music going and here. Yeah, we don't have quite the 0:00:23.280 --> 0:00:25.480 excitement happening behind us, but we'll we'll try to make 0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.320 up for it. We'll try to bring all the excitement here. 0:00:27.320 --> 0:00:29.640 And man, we do have a lot to talk about. 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:31.680 And yes, all of you guys can also help us 0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:33.920 decide what we're gonna talk about, sending all those questions 0:00:33.960 --> 0:00:36.240 on Facebook. If you're not already watching the show there, 0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.440 head over the Bucks Facebook page and put all of 0:00:38.479 --> 0:00:41.479 your questions in the comments below the live video. As 0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:44.280 we let people get those questions in. We had the 0:00:44.400 --> 0:00:47.159 entire roster cut down over the weekend. It wasn't it 0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.360 just a one day thing. That were even moves after that, 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:52.360 So let's start with Saturday for you. The big ninety 0:00:52.400 --> 0:00:54.360 down to fifty three cut down some of the high 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.400 level things that you noticed of either guys that were 0:00:56.440 --> 0:00:58.640 cut you were kind of surprised by our guys that 0:00:58.680 --> 0:01:00.520 made it that you were interested by, and some of 0:01:00.560 --> 0:01:03.200 those ear Um, I think the two surprise cuts were 0:01:03.200 --> 0:01:05.160 the ones that were surprised to everybody. So I'm not 0:01:05.319 --> 0:01:08.160 reinventing the wheel here or anything, but veteran defensive backs 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:11.560 keep Tandy and Josh Robinson, both of them technically safeties, 0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.600 although Josh was basically that special team's days. I didn't 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:17.800 see that one coming, and for that reason, I was 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.759 a bit surprised that Isaiah Johnson made the team, not 0:01:20.840 --> 0:01:23.319 because I didn't think he was a good player. You know, 0:01:23.400 --> 0:01:25.200 he made he made the active roster at the end 0:01:25.200 --> 0:01:26.960 of last year and another time earlier in the year. 0:01:27.120 --> 0:01:29.120 He's clearly been a guy that's been improving throughout his 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:30.480 two years here. I just thought it was gonna be 0:01:30.480 --> 0:01:32.839 a numbers crunched in safety because I thought I'd already 0:01:32.840 --> 0:01:35.200 had five account in four and I didn't think we 0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:37.399 could keep six safeties when it seemed clear we're gonna 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:40.800 keep at least five corners. Ended up keeping six, So um, 0:01:40.840 --> 0:01:42.280 that was a bit of a surprise. But when you 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.040 see it shake out, you see they were able to 0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.040 keep six corners, and I think the reason for that 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:49.160 was m J. Stewart. He still wasn't practicing on Monday. 0:01:49.200 --> 0:01:50.800 It looks like there's a chance he's not ready to 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.400 go for Week one. So you have another quarterback there, 0:01:54.400 --> 0:01:57.000 and it's actually a former New Orleans Saint Devanta Harris 0:01:57.040 --> 0:01:58.280 who was just cut. I knew it was a few 0:01:58.280 --> 0:02:01.080 weeks ago on this waen claim him off waivers, right, 0:02:01.360 --> 0:02:03.640 and so what did you think? We talked a lot 0:02:03.680 --> 0:02:06.880 about the idea of the roster moves being things where 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:08.799 sometimes it's not that you're cutting a guy or keeping 0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.400 a guy just because of that, but because of all 0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:12.360 the other needs what different guys can do it. And 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:14.399 special teams is one of the areas where we knew 0:02:14.400 --> 0:02:16.040 that there might be some cuts to make room for 0:02:16.200 --> 0:02:19.160 other positions that we knew just really earned their spot. 0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.280 And we talked about wide receiver being one of the 0:02:21.320 --> 0:02:22.960 ones we thought could affect that. It's it will be 0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:24.920 interesting to see who picks up the slack and the 0:02:24.960 --> 0:02:27.959 snaps and the tackles from two of your better special 0:02:27.960 --> 0:02:30.480 teams players in Keith Tandy and Josh Robinson. And you 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.640 know that is a general thing that generally turns over 0:02:32.680 --> 0:02:34.839 a lot because it's usually a lot of young guys. 0:02:34.880 --> 0:02:36.920 So it's not anything new that this is happening, but 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:39.400 you do have to replace that. In addition, DeVante Bond 0:02:39.480 --> 0:02:41.040 is on injury reserve right now and he was our 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.640 leading special teams tackler last year. So some guys are 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:46.359 gonna have to step up. And you mentioned wide receivers. 0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:49.280 I think Freddie Martino and Justin Watson are two candidates 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:51.560 for that. We already know that Freddie Martino is a 0:02:51.600 --> 0:02:54.360 great special teams player. Justin Watson seems to have the 0:02:54.360 --> 0:02:56.560 capability to be a very good special teams player and 0:02:56.600 --> 0:02:58.760 he has said that he wants to do that. Um. 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.360 The only thing about that is if both those guys 0:03:01.720 --> 0:03:04.320 are up and active, that keeps six receivers active on 0:03:04.320 --> 0:03:07.040 game day, which isn't very common for us, and it 0:03:07.040 --> 0:03:08.720 would cost you something. You might only be able to 0:03:08.760 --> 0:03:10.680 keep up three tight ends and stuff four or something 0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:13.280 like that. So it may be the case where only 0:03:13.320 --> 0:03:15.400 one of those two guys is active on any given 0:03:15.760 --> 0:03:19.400 uh Suddenly, you know, injuries obviously change matters, but so 0:03:19.440 --> 0:03:21.520 it'll be interesting to see which one gets to call 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.519 because that guy is not going to get a ton 0:03:23.520 --> 0:03:26.120 of reps on offense with all the other four guys healthy, 0:03:26.240 --> 0:03:28.280 So we'll see how that pans out. Yeah, that's true. 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.520 Any position groups in general that had some things that 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.880 you think are were sort of surprising, or in general 0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:35.960 just guys that made it that you think, man, this 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:37.680 is going to be interesting to see. I think going 0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.800 ten deep on both the defensive in the offensive line 0:03:41.200 --> 0:03:44.520 is deeper than you usually see. Especially on the offensive line. 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:46.720 I think nine is a more common number. And then 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.080 you keep uh seven of them active on game day. 0:03:49.200 --> 0:03:51.760 But again, both of those positions and the decisions made 0:03:51.760 --> 0:03:55.880 at them were impacted quite a bit by injuries, you know, um, 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:58.360 especially the offensive line. You still don't know what the 0:03:58.400 --> 0:04:00.280 status of Donovan Smith is going to be this week. 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.880 He didn't practice on Monday. I wouldn't read a ton 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:05.000 into that because that's a bonus practice and maybe you 0:04:05.000 --> 0:04:07.640 wouldn't really expose that guy to that. Anyway, we'll learn 0:04:07.680 --> 0:04:10.400 a little bit more about Donovan as the rest of 0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.400 the week goes on, or we may not learn a 0:04:12.400 --> 0:04:13.920 whole lot because I have a feeling this is one 0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:16.160 of those topics where coach Cutter is gonna want to 0:04:16.240 --> 0:04:19.719 volunteer a lot of information, so um, you know, it 0:04:19.839 --> 0:04:21.599 was not really by the time we got to the cuts, 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.320 it wasn't a particular surprise that Mike lib Key made 0:04:24.320 --> 0:04:26.279 the team because he was one of the great stories 0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.440 of training camp and he had made such a rise 0:04:28.680 --> 0:04:31.800 and it played so well. Pressed into duty at tackle, 0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:34.160 which is the position he came into league as by 0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.680 the way, before the Bucks were working on the inside, 0:04:36.720 --> 0:04:38.680 so he has experienced there. But it was good to 0:04:38.680 --> 0:04:40.640 see him hold up. And now on our very first 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:43.160 depth chart we put out, lidd Key is listed as 0:04:43.200 --> 0:04:47.520 the backup to um Donovan Smith. Now on game day, 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:49.800 the reality of it is, you really probably only keep 0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:52.000 one tackle up and he's your back up with the 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.640 bull spots, and that could be Leonard Wester instead of Licky. 0:04:54.680 --> 0:04:56.880 But then you also kept Adam Gettis, and you you've 0:04:56.880 --> 0:04:58.960 had Evan Smith has missed a little bit of time, 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:01.160 Caleb Ben and I has missed a little bit of time. 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.840 I think those are hedges against injury situations. And then 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:07.919 of course we started on Sunday with ten defensive alignment, 0:05:07.920 --> 0:05:10.280 but at the moment we only have nine because they 0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:12.080 put Mitch on right on injury reserve and just a 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.000 quick side on that. That was the plan all along, 0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.440 but you had to keep him on the fifty three 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:21.279 men restler at least into Sunday in order to be 0:05:21.320 --> 0:05:23.080 able to put him in an injury reserve but have 0:05:23.160 --> 0:05:26.000 them be eligible for one of those designated for return positions. 0:05:26.200 --> 0:05:28.840 That doesn't necessarily, Saider really mean it will be him 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.200 in the end, but he's eligible for it now, So 0:05:31.320 --> 0:05:33.400 if he can come back after eight weeks, then he can. 0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:35.839 But now we're down to nine, which is a little 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:38.400 more common number for defensive alignment. Okay, and bringing up 0:05:38.440 --> 0:05:41.760 the injured reserve idea, How did injuries end up affecting uh, 0:05:41.800 --> 0:05:43.440 this roster, some of the guys that were put on 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:45.840 some of the different injury um areas because you know, 0:05:45.880 --> 0:05:47.599 we hadn't known a lot all preseason because they're not 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:50.440 required to put out stuff in terms of an injury report. 0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:52.640 So I feel like this was actually the biggest indicator 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.800 of the overall health of the team all all preseason. Yeah, 0:05:55.800 --> 0:05:58.200 we'll look at the linebacker position. In the weeks leading 0:05:58.240 --> 0:06:00.520 up to it, we talked many times about how that 0:06:00.560 --> 0:06:04.000 was a great competition and um in Coach Cutter even 0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:06.680 when prompted, ask where's the competition remain here in the 0:06:06.760 --> 0:06:09.840 last few days? What positions, and he'd usually say linebacker 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:13.600 and wide receiver. Um. As it turned out that competition 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.080 almost was decided by default because both Devonte Bond and 0:06:17.160 --> 0:06:20.080 Riley Bullah suffered foot injuries and both of them ended 0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.839 up going on injured reserve. Now there's still if you 0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:27.720 put a got an injury reserve before UH preseasons over, 0:06:28.640 --> 0:06:31.880 you can still work out an injury settlement with them 0:06:32.000 --> 0:06:35.279 and release them, and then they would they'd be abiable 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:37.359 to sign anywhere else. But they also at some point 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:39.800 in the future could return to you that you have 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:41.960 to if you work out an injury settlement. That is 0:06:41.960 --> 0:06:44.520 supposed to the way an injury summit works is you 0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.960 pay them for the number of games you think they 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:49.080 would have missed have they been injured but still on 0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:51.840 the roster. So for after you do that with a guy, 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.120 he can return to you after that many weeks plus three. 0:06:55.400 --> 0:06:57.080 So I'll say, if we made a five week injury 0:06:57.080 --> 0:07:00.200 settlement with Devonte Bond, we could resign him eight weeks 0:07:00.279 --> 0:07:01.840 later if he was still there and there was interested 0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:04.039 in that. Okay, UH, and you know, we talked about 0:07:04.120 --> 0:07:05.840 there was the big cut down Saturday, but then there 0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.440 were some other moves the next couple of days, and 0:07:07.440 --> 0:07:10.000 we actually Ryan asked about how Karl Nassib is going 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.440 to help. I'm sure that everyone is uh pretty familiar 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:15.600 with him hard knocks. We've got our own accountant here 0:07:15.600 --> 0:07:17.480 now on the team. And uh, he asked, is he 0:07:17.560 --> 0:07:19.880 really that much better than Will Clark, which was the 0:07:19.920 --> 0:07:22.880 corresponding roster. Yeah, And and and in that situation, I figured 0:07:22.920 --> 0:07:24.720 something's gonna ask that, and it's really kind of the 0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:28.400 easiest answer, easiest question answer because clearly, if you switch 0:07:28.440 --> 0:07:31.640 out one guy for another guy at the exact same position, 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.200 you think he's something of an upgrade to you. And 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:36.400 not to say anything bad about Will Clark, but they're 0:07:36.440 --> 0:07:40.640 always looking to do that, especially at the um you know, 0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.760 second or third levels of the depth chart. You're happy 0:07:43.760 --> 0:07:45.560 with the guys you kept, they like Will Clark, but 0:07:45.600 --> 0:07:47.040 if you see a guy out there, if you if 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:49.800 you like player A, but Play or B becomes available 0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:51.600 and you're great on him, is a little bit higher. 0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:53.800 It only makes sense as long as it makes financial sense. 0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.600 And there's no financial issue with this one. So I 0:07:56.680 --> 0:07:59.320 just assume they think he's maybe a bit more of 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:02.040 you know, maybe a more powerful guy off the edge. 0:08:02.200 --> 0:08:04.720 He is definitely bigger than a lot of the guys 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:06.760 that we've had in generally. Yeah, I mean we have 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.520 some big d lineman, but uh, for a defensive end, 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.320 he's he's a pretty big dude. I think it's an 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:14.240 intriguing signing or claim. After I was a little bit 0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:16.560 surprised that Cleveland cut him. They they cut him, They 0:08:16.600 --> 0:08:19.720 kept him to Sunday, and then they claimed five players 0:08:19.720 --> 0:08:23.600 off waiver. Remember Cleveland has that enviable position that the 0:08:23.640 --> 0:08:25.840 Bucks did in two thousand and fifteen, I think, where 0:08:25.880 --> 0:08:28.560 you have the first waiver claim, and it's not like 0:08:29.200 --> 0:08:31.400 guys used to playing fantasy sports. No, they if they 0:08:31.400 --> 0:08:33.360 have the first claim and they claim a guy they 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.959 dropped back to twelve or whatever the last in the 0:08:36.120 --> 0:08:38.400 NFL until a game has been played, or maybe I 0:08:38.440 --> 0:08:40.719 think it's three games have been played, you have the 0:08:40.760 --> 0:08:44.160 first waiver claim on every single person. So they used 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.079 it and picked up five guys and and they decided 0:08:47.080 --> 0:08:49.480 one of those guys was better for them than Carl Nassa. 0:08:49.559 --> 0:08:51.560 And then the Bucks decided that Carl Nasson was better 0:08:51.559 --> 0:08:53.800 than them for them then Will Clark, yeah, which is 0:08:53.800 --> 0:08:55.800 always interestingly thinks of it as the roster cut Saturday, 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.000 but it's so much more than that. You want to 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:59.120 see who else everybody else is cutting and then go 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.120 And you know we talked about Mitch on Ryan and 0:09:01.160 --> 0:09:03.200 you you wanted to keep a spot for him to 0:09:03.200 --> 0:09:04.599 get him through the Sunday and then put him in 0:09:05.040 --> 0:09:06.839 Drew reserves. So what the Bucks did, and they've actually 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.600 done it two years in a row, is they cut 0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:11.240 both of their long stampers and then they just signed 0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.560 Garrison s and more and back the next day. Right, 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.400 So we got cut and then signed back the next day. 0:09:15.440 --> 0:09:17.679 And I'm sure they told him, oh, yes, that that 0:09:17.720 --> 0:09:19.200 This is what I mean. You take a little bit 0:09:19.200 --> 0:09:20.640 of a risk if somebody comes along and wants to 0:09:20.640 --> 0:09:22.679 sign him. But considering the fact that we just signed 0:09:22.720 --> 0:09:24.280 him a week ago, they probably figured it was a 0:09:24.280 --> 0:09:27.440 reasonable risk. That's true. Um, I know some people are 0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:28.800 tuning a little bit later, that weren't he at the 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:30.880 very beginning. So Kevin actually asked who was the most 0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:34.079 surprising cut from Saturday? And uh, I know you kind 0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.680 of answered this at the beginning, But Keith Andy for sure, 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.520 and and safety overall was the position. I think we 0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:42.000 probably got more questions about than anything all preseason, So 0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:44.800 taking into considerately, he was someone that we didn't talk 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:46.640 a ton about, and especially not in the idea of 0:09:46.640 --> 0:09:49.640 thinking that he was in danger of getting cut. So 0:09:50.240 --> 0:09:52.160 what instead of just the idea of him getting cut, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:53.800 what does him getting cut tell you about the guys 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:55.520 that are still on the roster and how that position 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:57.000 will look. Well. One of the things that tells you, 0:09:57.120 --> 0:10:00.280 um is that they really like Isaiah Johnson. They've him 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:02.040 here for two years. He came on as an undrafted 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:05.720 guy out of South Carolina in two thousand sixteen, made 0:10:05.720 --> 0:10:08.480 the practice squad and kind of unusually, he was on 0:10:08.480 --> 0:10:10.679 the practice squad for every single week of the two 0:10:10.720 --> 0:10:14.000 thousand and sixteen season. That's a bit unusual because that 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.040 turns over so much. Sometimes those guys get promoted the 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.200 active roster, or sometimes you've seen enough of them and 0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.960 you have you have more of a need at linebacker 0:10:21.000 --> 0:10:23.320 than safety or whatever, so you make a switch there 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:24.880 for one. For a guy to stay on the whole 0:10:24.880 --> 0:10:27.480 seventeen weeks doesn't happen very often, but it's an indication 0:10:27.559 --> 0:10:29.760 they liked him a lot. I wanted to make sure 0:10:29.840 --> 0:10:31.599 they kept him around and took him to camping in 0:10:31.720 --> 0:10:34.240 next year. Uh. And then in two thousand and seventeen 0:10:34.280 --> 0:10:36.280 it was another step up for him because twice he 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.000 got promoted when the MUCKs Bucks needed help at safety, 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.400 once in October and once in December. So again you're 0:10:41.400 --> 0:10:43.920 seeing they like him even more now. When Coach Cutter 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:46.600 was discussing him on Monday, the first day we got 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:48.600 to talk to him after the cuts, he really was 0:10:48.640 --> 0:10:52.480 saying how much that that player has improved over those 0:10:52.480 --> 0:10:54.520 two years. It's just the classic example of what you 0:10:54.640 --> 0:10:57.400 use the practice squad for. So I gotta I gotta 0:10:57.400 --> 0:10:59.600 believe they like him a lot. You know. It's kind 0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:01.679 of the thing where he takes the place of a 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:04.200 guy who's getting a little bit, a little bit farther 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.679 along his career, probably in terms of how much he's 0:11:06.720 --> 0:11:08.920 making is more. And that happens let in the NFL. 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.760 It's it's natural turnover. It's it stands out a lot 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:14.480 to us because, like you said, we never talked about 0:11:14.559 --> 0:11:17.360 Keith as being in any danger and everybody loves Keith 0:11:17.400 --> 0:11:20.000 Tandy for good reason. And so when a guy that 0:11:20.040 --> 0:11:22.280 you value in so many ways, not just what he 0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:24.199 does for you on the field, but just what kind 0:11:24.200 --> 0:11:25.920 of a guy is you hate to see it happen. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.040 I knowing him, I'm sure he took it um well 0:11:30.080 --> 0:11:32.679 and considered and just started considering his next move. Yeah, 0:11:32.760 --> 0:11:35.600 that's true. I love this. Chris said, he took Peyton 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.880 Barber and his fantasy draft in his fantasy draft, so 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:39.480 let him know to do well and make me look 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:42.720 like a very smart person. Uh So, over, we hadn't 0:11:42.720 --> 0:11:44.400 talked a ton about the running back position so far 0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:45.960 in terms of who all made the roster. I know 0:11:46.040 --> 0:11:47.640 that that was an area that you've been sort of 0:11:47.640 --> 0:11:49.960 interested in, those last one or two spots there, and 0:11:49.960 --> 0:11:52.280 you're your guys, Shawn Wilson, you've been singing his praises. Well, 0:11:52.520 --> 0:11:55.520 let's just be and you gotta back me up here 0:11:55.800 --> 0:11:57.440 that I was the first one on the Seawan Wilson 0:11:57.760 --> 0:11:59.920 absolutely from the very beginning camp, right, he was my 0:12:00.000 --> 0:12:03.439 predicted guy to keep, and then a lot of people 0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.640 got on by the end of camp, and by the 0:12:05.679 --> 0:12:08.360 time we got through there to the end, I don't 0:12:08.360 --> 0:12:09.520 think there was a lot of doubt that he was 0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:11.640 going to make the team, especially after Charles Simms went 0:12:11.640 --> 0:12:14.960 on into reserve, because at that point Coach Cutter almost 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:18.280 always keeps four tailbacks on the depth chart at least 0:12:18.320 --> 0:12:20.480 and and actually he usually keeps all four of them 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.600 up on game day and one of them at least 0:12:22.600 --> 0:12:25.240 will do something for you on special teams. Um So, 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.360 Sean Wilson was basically battling darry On Gooomba Wally, who 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:31.920 was doing great and by the way, made the practice squad, 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:33.680 but I felt like Sean was a little bit ahead 0:12:33.679 --> 0:12:36.480 of him. And uh so, I didn't think Dorry didn't 0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:37.960 have to pass him, so I didn't think it was 0:12:37.960 --> 0:12:41.240 a big surprise. But I like that. And um you know, 0:12:41.280 --> 0:12:44.240 the guy who drafted Peyton Barber will be happy to 0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:47.360 know that he's our starter right now. And there was 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:51.240 a lot of talk about Round Jones uninspiring numbers in 0:12:51.280 --> 0:12:54.520 the preseason, right, and that's fair, But Coach Cutter really 0:12:54.520 --> 0:12:56.040 made a point and you can see it in these 0:12:56.040 --> 0:12:59.840 games that lots of times a broken down run is 0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.920 somebody else's fault. And you know, you saw the very 0:13:02.920 --> 0:13:05.880 first carry in the last game. He got the handoff 0:13:06.080 --> 0:13:09.800 and was hit immediately by a defensive lineman. Because there 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.080 had been a bust upfront and the guy came immediately in, 0:13:12.520 --> 0:13:15.720 so that can happen. I would just say he didn't 0:13:15.760 --> 0:13:17.679 have a great preseason, but I wouldn't read too much 0:13:17.679 --> 0:13:20.320 into it. That being said, Peyton Barber looked great to me, 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.280 and he deserves what he got. He was the one 0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:25.520 running back who and he got to play with the 0:13:25.520 --> 0:13:27.679 first team line most of the time, so that says 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:29.840 something too. But he was the one guy who was 0:13:29.880 --> 0:13:32.679 creating yards for himself, which is something he did very 0:13:32.720 --> 0:13:35.080 well last year. He's good at picking up extra yards 0:13:35.120 --> 0:13:37.800 after first contact, and uh, you know, I just thought 0:13:37.880 --> 0:13:39.880 he looked a little bit more dynamic this year. He's 0:13:39.920 --> 0:13:42.120 He's always been a nice, powerful runner, a good goal 0:13:42.120 --> 0:13:44.440 line back, but I think he looks more dynamic. Okay, 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:46.199 we got about a minute left. We'll try to get 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:49.000 through two last questions here. One Marshall wants to notice 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.280 vive I have any realistic chance of playing on Sunday. Well, 0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.079 I we will know more about that in the next 0:13:54.120 --> 0:13:56.880 two days. He did not practice on Monday. If I'm 0:13:56.880 --> 0:13:59.400 a betting man, I would say it's probably not gonna happen. Um, 0:13:59.520 --> 0:14:03.200 he would only get two or three practices. If he 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:04.800 does play, I would imagine it would being a very 0:14:04.880 --> 0:14:08.319 limited role. Um, I'm and we are still just guessing here. 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.960 This is not information that the Bucks have put out. Um, 0:14:11.000 --> 0:14:13.920 and Coach Cutter again was not real. I didn't have 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.840 a lot of details to share on this, but he says, 0:14:16.840 --> 0:14:19.440 come along fine, but just from my guess, I would 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:21.920 guess now, okay. And then the last one here, Kevin 0:14:21.920 --> 0:14:24.560 wants to know, do you consider Justin Watson the fourth 0:14:24.680 --> 0:14:28.200 or fifth wide receiver? Fifth? Yeah, because the other four 0:14:28.240 --> 0:14:30.520 in front of have clear and obvious roles and the 0:14:30.680 --> 0:14:33.160 very productive players. Um, so it could be a little 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.160 while to like god when last year, it could be 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.880 little while till he has some significant role on offense 0:14:38.000 --> 0:14:40.520 or injuries could open the door. Hopefully not, hopefully not. 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.560 He has to be hopefully just either earns a spot 0:14:42.600 --> 0:14:44.400 or everyone's playing so great that we have the best 0:14:44.760 --> 0:14:46.880 top five wide receiver group in the league. All right, 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:48.640 that's gonna do it for us here on Buccaneers Inside 0:14:48.640 --> 0:14:50.440 a Live presented by Miller Lite. Thanks so much for 0:14:50.520 --> 0:14:52.040 joining us, and we'll see again next week.
