WEBVTT - Breaking Down the LeSean McCoy Signing | Bucs Insider 0:00:10.480 --> 0:00:13.120 Good morning, Good morning, Hey there, Bucks fans. How's it going. 0:00:13.240 --> 0:00:16.279 It's time for Buccaneers Insider Live, presented by Miller. Like 0:00:16.520 --> 0:00:19.959 Casey Phillips here with Scott Smith, and this is the 0:00:20.000 --> 0:00:22.919 insider we've all been waiting for. His football things have 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.760 started happening. There's actual football happening on the field now 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.880 again no pads, not yet. We've still gotta wait a 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.600 little bit for that. But after this offseason, we will 0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.360 take whatever we can get out there. So uh, and 0:00:34.400 --> 0:00:37.159 we've had exciting news of signings and it just so 0:00:37.240 --> 0:00:38.800 much has been going on this last week. So let's 0:00:38.800 --> 0:00:41.840 go ahead and start for now with Lashawn McCoy that edition. 0:00:41.880 --> 0:00:45.240 And I wanted to hear your thoughts on that signing overall, 0:00:45.360 --> 0:00:47.120 and then now that we've also gotten to hear from him, 0:00:47.120 --> 0:00:48.440 he spoke to the media the day, which if you 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:49.879 haven't gotten a chance to see that, it's up on 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.440 buccaneers dot com. So based on the signing and then 0:00:52.440 --> 0:00:54.600 what you've heard from him saying in his media session, 0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:57.320 what are your initial thoughts. Yeah, I'll get to Lashan 0:00:57.400 --> 0:00:59.080 in the second. I wanted to start by saying something 0:00:59.120 --> 0:01:01.240 I forgot last week, which was the first time I 0:01:01.320 --> 0:01:03.560 was back in the office doing this that the only 0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:06.399 reason I can do this without wearing a mask is 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:08.360 I'm in my own office with the door closed and 0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.680 nobody else in here. Otherwise I, like everybody else, has 0:01:11.720 --> 0:01:13.560 to wear a mask everywhere we go. I didn't want 0:01:13.560 --> 0:01:16.560 anybody watching this to think that I'm messing up with 0:01:16.600 --> 0:01:19.880 the rules and endanger in the team because player safety 0:01:19.920 --> 0:01:22.280 and getting the season going is the number one issue. 0:01:22.400 --> 0:01:27.679 So there's right there. There is also that that lanyard 0:01:27.760 --> 0:01:29.720 has a chip tracer in it. If I get within 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:31.520 ten feet of a player, it starts beeping in a 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.160 very annoying noise. It makes me feel like a criminal, 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.920 so um, believe me, that won't happen. Yes, And it's 0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:39.600 funny because it makes me think that it's like a 0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:41.679 shock caller, Like I think about that with dogs where 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.280 they get close to the fence and it's like beets 0:01:43.280 --> 0:01:44.640 to warn them that I'd love to see if you 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:46.800 kept going if it also has a bit of a 0:01:46.840 --> 0:01:49.280 shock factor, And I thought, I'm not gonna find out. Yeah, 0:01:49.360 --> 0:01:52.560 let's not find out the noise that the noise has 0:01:52.560 --> 0:01:55.960 battened up. Believe me, believe me on that Lashawn McCoy. Yes, 0:01:56.080 --> 0:02:00.080 he he got signed early enough yesterday, you know, you know, 0:02:00.120 --> 0:02:02.040 it had been reported for several days. But he still 0:02:02.040 --> 0:02:03.520 had to do the COVID test and had to do 0:02:03.560 --> 0:02:06.120 the normal physical but he got it all done in 0:02:06.200 --> 0:02:09.280 Thailand Tuesday morning to go out on the field with 0:02:09.320 --> 0:02:11.239 the team. So he's already had one and he's doing 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.360 one now, I presume workout with the team. And then 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:17.200 he did a one of these zoom interviews afterwards, and 0:02:17.560 --> 0:02:19.960 I really I really enjoyed his interview. And you know, 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.640 you can tell a guy is is not phoning it in. 0:02:23.800 --> 0:02:27.079 He's he's actually really paying attention and looking Francis when 0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.079 he makes like good natured jokes. He's not just saying 0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:34.919 whatever cliche one day at a time. Give somebody asked 0:02:35.000 --> 0:02:36.960 him what Several times he was asked about what he 0:02:36.960 --> 0:02:40.400 thought his role would be in the offense, and um, 0:02:40.760 --> 0:02:43.640 he answered, well, I think I'll probably get somewhere between 0:02:43.639 --> 0:02:45.959 twenty and twenty five carries a game. And my brain 0:02:46.000 --> 0:02:48.360 went immediately before I realized it was a joke. I'm like, wait, 0:02:48.400 --> 0:02:51.880 that's like the feature back, Like very few guys get 0:02:51.919 --> 0:02:53.919 twenty five carries in the game, and if they do. 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:56.840 They're like Ezekiel Elliott. You know, it's not a common 0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:00.040 thing in today's nfluh. And then then he cracked and 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.600 started laughing. And he doesn't know, nobody knows yet what 0:03:02.680 --> 0:03:04.480 his role is going to be. But this is a 0:03:04.520 --> 0:03:08.640 guy um that average four point six yards per carry 0:03:08.720 --> 0:03:11.000 last year with the Chiefs. Now he his role was 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:12.640 reduced and he didn't really get to play in the 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.040 priests in the postseason, but he was pretty good when 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.200 he was on the field. And he's started two years old. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:21.359 He's coming off his lowest production season because he didn't 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:24.480 get to play that much of his career. But I 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:26.160 still think it's a guy that might have something offer. 0:03:26.200 --> 0:03:28.560 We're gonna find out, and it kind of makes that 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:31.239 running back room catch up to the tight ends and 0:03:31.280 --> 0:03:34.160 the receivers in terms of there's a lot of guys 0:03:34.200 --> 0:03:36.440 there and it's hard to tell who's gonna get fed 0:03:36.480 --> 0:03:38.800 the football the most. But we'll find out. Is something 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.880 I have to figure out pretty quickly, of course, with 0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.280 the you know, with a short training camp. Yeah, that's true. 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:46.480 And just a reminder to everyone, we always love answering 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.560 your questions, so go ahead and put those in the comments. 0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:52.120 Section underneath the Facebook live video. UM, and I know that. 0:03:52.160 --> 0:03:53.680 You know, we just talked about the fact that we 0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:56.480 don't exactly know what Lashawn McCoy's role is going to be, 0:03:56.520 --> 0:03:58.480 but we did see that. Clifton asked, what kind of 0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:01.440 impact can you see him having at his age? So 0:04:01.680 --> 0:04:03.800 knowing the Lashawn McCoy that we've seen in his six 0:04:03.840 --> 0:04:07.160 Pro bowls in those years, UM, how similar different do 0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:09.040 you feel like he could be? Or just even looking 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:11.200 at this Buck's offense and what they might need looking 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.880 at maybe why they signed him, what would your guests 0:04:14.960 --> 0:04:17.320 be about what they want him to be doing. I 0:04:17.360 --> 0:04:20.440 think he's something of an insurance policy. Um. You know, 0:04:20.800 --> 0:04:23.480 we did have three running backs go on the COVID list. 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:26.960 Now that's probably temporary, and it doesn't even mean that 0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:29.680 any of them or all of them contracted the virus. 0:04:29.720 --> 0:04:33.839 They could have just been in contact with someone who did. UM. 0:04:34.040 --> 0:04:36.479 So you know, at the moment you're down a few bodies. 0:04:36.600 --> 0:04:39.800 But also in the regular season, you're counting on either 0:04:39.880 --> 0:04:42.640 Ronald Jones becoming more of a receiver or Keyshawn von 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:44.760 the rookie coming in and they think he can be 0:04:44.800 --> 0:04:47.640 a pass catcher. And I want to differentiate. And Ronald 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:50.480 Jones actually sort of alluded to this, and I'm sorry 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:53.120 not Ronald Jones, uh. Lashawn McCoy actually alluded to this 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:56.000 when he was talking yesterday that there's a difference between 0:04:56.360 --> 0:04:59.520 being the checkdown guy the quarterback looks around, can't find 0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:01.360 me open, checks it down to the running back who's 0:05:01.360 --> 0:05:04.280 out in the flat um. Most running backs can do 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.599 that just fine, but but they often offenses will ask 0:05:07.680 --> 0:05:10.680 running backs to go split out into the slot and 0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.080 run an actual receiver routes, not necessarily deep ones, but 0:05:14.120 --> 0:05:16.200 a number of difference he routes. And he mentioned that 0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.719 he can do that, and I think we believe the 0:05:18.760 --> 0:05:21.560 team believes that that Keishawn Von can probably do that too. 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.600 But you don't really know. You don't know for sure, 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:27.640 and because there's such an abbreviated time before the season starts, 0:05:28.120 --> 0:05:30.880 it's probably a little, I don't know, you feel a 0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:34.840 little unsure about expecting a rookie to do exactly what 0:05:34.839 --> 0:05:37.000 you're hoping he will do. Now, running back is a 0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:39.599 position that a lot of rookies can assimilate into the 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:42.880 NFL very quickly. There's rookies who make big impacts at 0:05:42.960 --> 0:05:46.560 running back every year, more so than most positions. But 0:05:46.640 --> 0:05:48.760 still they don't have a lot of time, so you're 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.680 not sure. So you know, and and Bruce and and 0:05:51.760 --> 0:05:54.520 Jason I had both talked about how in today's NFL 0:05:54.839 --> 0:05:57.040 most teams have a running back by committee. I think 0:05:57.040 --> 0:05:59.840 that's what Bruce arians wants. It also allows you, it 0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.760 gives you depth. So if guys aren't available by for 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.040 injury or illness, for other reason, you have other guys available. 0:06:06.040 --> 0:06:07.960 And I think that's what happened with the Chiefs last year. 0:06:08.279 --> 0:06:10.479 You know, they he did a lot early on, and 0:06:10.480 --> 0:06:12.839 then his role kind of diminished because they had other guys, 0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.960 and you know, getting through the season, it might take 0:06:16.000 --> 0:06:19.839 all of those guys. Yeah, yeah, that's true. Um. Scotty 0:06:20.120 --> 0:06:23.760 Martinez asked, how is Gronk looking coming a year out 0:06:23.760 --> 0:06:26.400 of practice? Does he look like he never skipped a 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:30.200 beat or look a little sluggish? He looks big. He 0:06:30.279 --> 0:06:33.880 looks very big. You know. I watched the practice the offenses, 0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:36.960 uh practices on Monday and Tuesday. They're running a lot 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.440 of routes and uh, you know, as far as I 0:06:39.440 --> 0:06:41.680 could tell, he looks like he's moving just fine. I 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:45.359 did highlight one play. At the very end on Monday, 0:06:45.440 --> 0:06:48.880 they were doing red zone throws and for the most 0:06:48.880 --> 0:06:52.440 of receivers those were back corner fades. You know, these 0:06:52.440 --> 0:06:54.560 are just this isn't giving anything away because these are 0:06:54.560 --> 0:06:57.719 regular routes that every team runs practices that weren slants 0:06:57.720 --> 0:06:59.560 and posts and so on, And there were running some 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.120 routes for the tight ends end up in the back 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.240 of the end zone and Tom Brady threw it like 0:07:03.360 --> 0:07:06.080 fifteen feet in the air because he knew that gron 0:07:06.160 --> 0:07:08.400 could go. Man. And Gronk is six ft six two 0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:10.760 whatever he is now sixty pounds, you know, that's why 0:07:10.800 --> 0:07:13.880 he's trying to get to He's already six ft six 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:15.720 with long arms when he also jumps, and I mean 0:07:15.840 --> 0:07:18.600 he caught a ball so high, and I'm like, nobody 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:21.000 could have gotten that. A quarterback can throw it there 0:07:21.280 --> 0:07:24.160 and know it won't be intercepted and maybe this guy 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:26.160 can go get it. So that was the most eye 0:07:26.160 --> 0:07:28.320 opening thing I saw from Gronk on the first couple 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.200 of plays. That sounds exciting. I can't wait to well. 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:31.880 I mean, yeah, I just think about that, you know, 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.320 cambraid and you know they've just been the red zone 0:07:35.360 --> 0:07:37.560 options now and Mike Evans and how big and long 0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:39.320 he is, Like, it really does feel like the play 0:07:39.320 --> 0:07:41.480 can just be Brady covering his eyes and throwing it 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.800 up and one of those guys is going to come 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:46.360 down with it. Uh that that'll be my contribution to play. 0:07:47.000 --> 0:07:49.680 I'll tell Byron this is my idea. Tell him to 0:07:49.720 --> 0:07:52.920 turnin backwards, heave it over his head. One of one 0:07:52.960 --> 0:07:56.080 of those guys has it. Um Okay, Daniel said, I'm 0:07:56.080 --> 0:07:58.480 nervous about our depth in the defensive line and outside 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:01.640 linebacker at the ass rusher. Have you heard that they 0:08:01.640 --> 0:08:06.280 have anyone in their sites? Well, I agree on half 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.559 of that. I think the d line, the the down 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:12.600 lineman depth is fine, especially within domin con Sue Nacho's back. 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:14.920 I know we lost bow Allen, but he really didn't 0:08:14.960 --> 0:08:18.400 have a ton of snaps last year. Um Nacho can 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.600 take more of those We drafted Khalil Davis, h we 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.880 got Will Goldston, Vita Vella Vita Vea is probably gonna 0:08:24.880 --> 0:08:28.320 take more snaps this year. That's what Todd Bole said. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.119 So I don't think we have any issues with depth 0:08:30.240 --> 0:08:33.480 on the down lineman. I agree on the outside linebackers, 0:08:33.559 --> 0:08:36.520 at least in terms of there's not much proven behind 0:08:36.600 --> 0:08:42.680 Shack and jpp Um. Anthony Nelson is obviously the best hope, 0:08:42.760 --> 0:08:45.920 the best case scenario the drafting the fourth round pick 0:08:45.960 --> 0:08:47.800 that I know. They felt really good about getting him 0:08:47.800 --> 0:08:50.160 in the fourth round. Last year saw his rookie season 0:08:50.600 --> 0:08:53.360 kind of slowed down by hamstring injuries, but they liked 0:08:53.360 --> 0:08:55.760 what he did when he was in practice. Um, if 0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:58.960 he could step up and be the next Carl Massive, 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.319 that third man in the rotation or a guy that 0:09:01.400 --> 0:09:04.280 starts when somebody's not available, I think you'll be fine. 0:09:04.559 --> 0:09:07.200 But it's it's definitely fair to be worried about that. Um, 0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:11.240 do they have anybody? There's a lot of guys still unsigned, 0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.400 claim Matthews types that are unsigned. I don't know if 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.559 the Bucks are looking at him or not. At the moment. 0:09:16.600 --> 0:09:19.240 They actually have to get the roster down by a 0:09:19.280 --> 0:09:23.120 few spots before August six, so it's a possibility. Um, 0:09:23.200 --> 0:09:26.040 it wouldn't shock me. I mean, I was saying all along, 0:09:26.040 --> 0:09:28.559 I didn't think we're gonna sign another running back, and 0:09:28.600 --> 0:09:31.000 then we signed with Shawn McCoy, So so what do 0:09:31.080 --> 0:09:34.360 we know? Like, I just think that I had a 0:09:34.360 --> 0:09:36.400 lot to do with it feeling like a good fit 0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:39.160 and maybe maybe worried about the depth there, so it 0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:42.880 could be the same issue, yeah, Sean said. Tristan mentioned 0:09:42.960 --> 0:09:44.599 last week and his interview with the media he was 0:09:44.640 --> 0:09:46.679 looking forward to going against the best pass rushers in 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.080 the league, including Shock. How fun is that matchup going 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.319 to be in practice? Um, and then I'll add my 0:09:52.360 --> 0:09:54.320 little part out of the question of how important is 0:09:54.400 --> 0:09:56.840 that for him to have guys like that in practice 0:09:56.880 --> 0:10:00.600 with such a reduced offseason, no preseason games. I mean, 0:10:01.080 --> 0:10:03.480 you kind of forget the impact that having good players 0:10:03.480 --> 0:10:06.120 on your team has on your team in practice. Yeah, 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:08.360 that's that's a very good point. He's gonna need He's 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:11.520 gonna need those guys too, Sharpen and iron On ironed, Uh, yeah, 0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.680 he's not gonna get any preseason games, and the first 0:10:13.679 --> 0:10:16.040 time he takes a live snap will count and he'll 0:10:16.080 --> 0:10:19.320 be protecting Tom Brady presuming he wins the right tackle job. 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:21.719 And of course, Bruce Arian said, no, no, rookie is 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.640 guaranteed a jobs, so he still has to win it. 0:10:23.880 --> 0:10:26.400 But he's obviously the guy that they're expecting to be 0:10:26.440 --> 0:10:29.680 the one step in there. You know, it's a tough 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:34.800 transition for even the best offensive tackle prospects to transition 0:10:34.840 --> 0:10:36.760 from the college into the NFL. And that's even from 0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:40.040 a from a like an old line factory like Iowa. 0:10:40.080 --> 0:10:42.880 I mean, those guys. You can hardly find a guy 0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:45.280 that you could expect to be more ready for the 0:10:45.400 --> 0:10:49.560 NFL to make that instant transition than Tristan Worth. So 0:10:49.640 --> 0:10:53.080 that's good news, but it's still a tough position to 0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:56.560 make a transition at and that's particularly true in pass blocking. 0:10:56.600 --> 0:10:58.360 And and you know he's gonna right off the bat, 0:10:58.360 --> 0:11:01.680 He's gonna have Cameron Amaron Jordans, like you said, and 0:11:01.720 --> 0:11:03.320 there's not a lot of let up on the schedule. 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.520 There's a lot of good pass rushers there. So yeah, 0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:08.160 if Shaq, can you know, give him a little welcome 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:09.920 to the NFL this is what it's like here and 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.960 JPP as well, Um, that will help a lot. But 0:11:13.240 --> 0:11:15.760 you know what I liked about Tristan works because that 0:11:15.880 --> 0:11:19.800 question was mentioning his interview the other day. He he 0:11:19.840 --> 0:11:22.600 didn't he wasn't really willing to go with you know 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:25.520 that common Hey, you're such a nice it's clearly like 0:11:26.200 --> 0:11:28.559 he seems like a gentle, nice guy when you're when 0:11:28.559 --> 0:11:30.240 you're watching them on these in interviews, He's like, do 0:11:30.280 --> 0:11:32.520 you have a switch that flips and then you're a 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:35.520 mean nasty dude on the field. He's like, no, not really. 0:11:35.880 --> 0:11:38.280 You know, I don't think you have to flip a switch. 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:40.839 You just have to beat your guy and then beat 0:11:40.920 --> 0:11:42.400 him again on the next snap, and then beat him 0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:44.240 again on the next snap, and then that's just as 0:11:44.240 --> 0:11:47.160 good as like, you know, talk of trash and spitting 0:11:47.160 --> 0:11:49.120 and yelling at him. If you just beat him constantly, 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:52.160 that's as intimidating as being a mean, nasty guy and 0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:54.040 flipping the switch. I just really like that answer. I 0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.720 thought it was it was very genuine. Yes, I agree 0:11:56.720 --> 0:11:58.679 with that, and it's true. I mean, we think so 0:11:58.760 --> 0:12:01.000 much about whatever kind of attitude you have to have 0:12:01.040 --> 0:12:03.280 all your do your job. Who if you're doing your job, 0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.400 who cares? I much rather have a guy that's nice 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:08.640 and gets his job done, and a guy that's trash 0:12:08.679 --> 0:12:10.280 talking and me and all the time, and then you know, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.840 gets beat like yeah, I mean, I know before we 0:12:12.880 --> 0:12:15.000 started this, a couple of minutes before we started, I 0:12:15.000 --> 0:12:17.720 started just yelling and screaming obscenities at you, just just 0:12:17.800 --> 0:12:20.280 to flip that switch to get ready exactly. That's how 0:12:20.320 --> 0:12:23.840 I got everybody's like that. That's why I was like, 0:12:23.880 --> 0:12:29.000 I know Scott's ready. Now that's ready. Um. Byron and 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.679 we kind of talked about this in terms of the 0:12:30.760 --> 0:12:35.000 Lashawn McCoy signing and then also with uh defensive ends 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.120 and you know, different other the positions, but he has 0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:39.280 Do you think we'll have another big signing before the 0:12:39.280 --> 0:12:41.600 season starts. If so, I think it would be an 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:44.640 outside landbacker. Um. You know, I think Lashawn McCoy is 0:12:44.640 --> 0:12:48.080 probably the big shot you took right before camp. It's 0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.760 not a time when teams in the Bucks in particular 0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.839 have generally added big names. It happens from time to time. 0:12:53.920 --> 0:12:56.040 You know, you got the Logan Makings trade a few 0:12:56.120 --> 0:12:59.240 years ago and stuff like that. Sure, and the Buccaneers 0:12:59.520 --> 0:13:02.280 clearly are all in. I mean, every move that has 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:05.040 been made this offseason has proven that they're all in. 0:13:05.320 --> 0:13:08.200 So it wouldn't be shocking, but it's not something that 0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:12.960 normally happens. Okay, Jermaine asked, how many Pro Bowlers do 0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:20.880 you think we will produce this year? Jermaine Jermaine phillips, Nope, nope, nope. 0:13:21.280 --> 0:13:23.360 You used to call him Flip. That was his nickname. 0:13:23.400 --> 0:13:26.920 I like that nickname. Um, how many Pro Bowlers we 0:13:27.000 --> 0:13:29.160 I think we talked about this, didn't we? Yeah? I 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:33.240 think maybe that somebody suggested they thought five or so. Yeah. 0:13:33.520 --> 0:13:35.800 I thought that was crazy, and then I started counting it. 0:13:36.080 --> 0:13:39.640 I mean, we already had Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and 0:13:39.720 --> 0:13:42.360 Shack last year. So and and all those guys obviously 0:13:42.440 --> 0:13:45.080 are quite capable of repeating. And especially once you get 0:13:45.120 --> 0:13:46.600 your foot in the door in the Pro Bowl and 0:13:46.640 --> 0:13:48.000 you've been to a few of them, you get that 0:13:48.080 --> 0:13:50.120 Pro Bowl momentum. I'm not sure the Pro Bowl is 0:13:50.120 --> 0:13:52.400 actually gonna be played, by the way, but they will 0:13:52.440 --> 0:13:54.240 probably still pick it even if they don't play it. 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:56.319 So you can start with those three. Is a pretty 0:13:56.320 --> 0:14:00.880 decent guest. And we're all hoping that, um, the greater 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:03.440 attention that's gonna come to the Bucks because we have 0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:07.160 Tom Brady and Rock Brenkowski and we're considered, uh, you know, 0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:11.120 good postseason candidates will shine a spotlight on guys that 0:14:11.160 --> 0:14:14.000 maybe have been underappreciated. Obviously, the poster boy for that, 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:17.240 for good reason is Lavante David. Um, you could see 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.360 that a lot of people think this might be an 0:14:19.400 --> 0:14:22.280 opportunity for Alan mar Pett or Ryan Jensen, some of 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:25.600 the good offensive lineman Donovan Smith that have been playing well. 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:27.600 I don't think you get more than one of them, 0:14:27.640 --> 0:14:29.320 but you might get one of those guys. Maybe Alan 0:14:29.400 --> 0:14:31.720 mar Pett gets his first Pro Bowl and already you're 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.880 at five at this point, right, So maybe Devin. If 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.560 Devin White becomes the playmaker that everybody expects, he could 0:14:38.600 --> 0:14:41.040 be a top ten linebacker in the NFL and which 0:14:41.080 --> 0:14:43.000 might make hip top five in the NFC, and he 0:14:43.040 --> 0:14:45.480 could get in there. Um. You know, Bruce Arians said 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:47.760 the other day that he thinks Carlton Davis is a 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:51.240 top ten cornerback in the NFL. If that's the case 0:14:51.560 --> 0:14:54.000 and it's recognized, he's got a shot at the Pro Bowl. 0:14:54.040 --> 0:14:56.480 So you know, know, all those guys aren't gonna make it. 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.600 But um, I could see if the Bucks win. And 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:01.760 that's what happened in the nineties when they were winning, 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.560 they were getting five, six, one time eight guys in 0:15:04.600 --> 0:15:06.600 the Pro Bowl. And you stop winning, you go for 0:15:06.640 --> 0:15:08.040 a few years and you're happy when you get one 0:15:08.120 --> 0:15:11.240 or two. So if the Bucks win, I would say five, Okay, 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.640 well that's gonna do it for us on this edition 0:15:12.680 --> 0:15:15.360 of Buccaneers Inside Our Live presented by Miller Lite. Thanks 0:15:15.360 --> 0:15:17.880 as always for those awesome questions. We are so excited 0:15:17.920 --> 0:15:20.240 that football is happening again out there at Advent Health 0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:22.760 Training Center, and we're also getting even closer to Scott 0:15:22.760 --> 0:15:24.360 and I getting to do training camp live. So I 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:26.040 know it's tough for people knowing they won't be able 0:15:26.080 --> 0:15:28.640 to come to training camp practices. We're gonna do our 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:30.520 best to get you as much coverage and make you 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:32.360 feel as much like you were there as possible. So 0:15:32.360 --> 0:15:33.800 that's gonna be starting in about a week and a 0:15:33.880 --> 0:15:36.840 half hopefully. Uh So, Yeah, thanks for tuning in, thanks 0:15:36.840 --> 0:15:38.480 for all those questions, and we'll see you next week.
