WEBVTT - Bucs Plan To Apply Pressure To Panthers | Bucs Insider 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.920 Welcome into Bucks Insider, coming to you from the Bucks Studio, 0:00:02.920 --> 0:00:05.640 presented by ticketmaster Casey Phillips, here with Senior writer and 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:08.319 editor Scott Smith and staff writer Breed Dix. And we 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:11.360 had a Bucks win to talk about. It's Thanksgiving week. 0:00:11.600 --> 0:00:13.560 We have plenty to be thankful for this week, for 0:00:14.000 --> 0:00:16.439 very handy and I'm sure just in general, going to 0:00:16.480 --> 0:00:18.640 do Thanksgiving dinner with friends and family. A lot more 0:00:18.640 --> 0:00:20.720 fun coming off of a win for everyone involved on 0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:23.480 this team. So excited to talk about so many things, 0:00:23.480 --> 0:00:26.639 And one is there were big plays in this game, 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:28.640 something that I think we'd been lacking a little bit 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:30.360 in the games before. So Scott tell us a little 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:33.200 bit about especially this explosive plays that we saw really 0:00:33.280 --> 0:00:33.760 come to life. 0:00:33.800 --> 0:00:36.080 And I think we talked about it last week. You 0:00:36.120 --> 0:00:38.800 weren't here because you left us and you missed stranded, 0:00:38.960 --> 0:00:41.000 you miss paced so much. But I think we talked 0:00:41.000 --> 0:00:42.920 about the fact that in the previous two games before 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:46.440 the bye, the Bucks had really lacked explosive plays. And 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:51.400 we all rightfully credited both Liam Cohen and Baker Mayfield 0:00:51.440 --> 0:00:54.760 for keeping the offense moving pretty decently after the injuries 0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:57.400 to Mike Evans and Chris Gotwin, but what was missing 0:00:58.400 --> 0:01:01.120 was explosive plays, and Baker Mayfil himself talked about it. 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:04.559 So it's hard to score like you want to score 0:01:04.800 --> 0:01:07.120 when every drive has to be methodical. You know. We 0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:09.280 saw in the first in at the opening of the 0:01:09.360 --> 0:01:13.320 Giants game, we saw a methodical fourteen play eight and 0:01:13.319 --> 0:01:15.319 a half minute drive. That was great, but you're not 0:01:15.319 --> 0:01:17.119 going to get a million of those games. You need 0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:19.840 some explosive plays to cut the field in half and 0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.640 get some shorter drives and score some more points. Because 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.479 of those methodical drives, you can always make one mistake 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.560 and kill it. Well. In the two games before the bye, 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:31.000 the Buccaneers had zero plays of twenty or more yards 0:01:31.120 --> 0:01:33.720 zero and they've been averaging for a little more than 0:01:33.760 --> 0:01:37.039 four of them per game leading up to that, so 0:01:37.640 --> 0:01:39.959 that was clearly a problem yep, and the points were 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.280 slowly going down well. In this game, Mike Evans being 0:01:43.360 --> 0:01:44.720 back definitely had something to do with it, but the 0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.400 Buccaneers had six plays of twenty or more yards and 0:01:48.440 --> 0:01:51.840 five of those were receptions by five different players. After 0:01:51.840 --> 0:01:53.560 the San Francisco game, we talked about how that was 0:01:53.560 --> 0:01:56.160 the difference. The Bucks couldn't get explosive plays, and the 0:01:56.200 --> 0:01:59.600 forty nine ers had I think five different players have 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:03.080 an explosive play, and that's like the ideal, and that's 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:05.880 what the Buckeer's got in that game. And so you know, 0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:08.520 they got five different guys catching passes. And then plus 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.440 I think you saw in one of these clips here 0:02:10.480 --> 0:02:13.880 just a few seconds ago, obviously Bucky Everring had that 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:17.320 fifty six yard run. So six explosive plays totally made 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.120 the difference. That's why the Bucks got back to scoring 0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:20.160 thirty points in the game. 0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:22.679 Yeah, and it's it's so true because not only is 0:02:22.760 --> 0:02:24.680 it I love it, it's not just explosive plays, but 0:02:24.680 --> 0:02:26.560 to so many different people. Right you talked about it 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.560 was all those passes were to five different people. They 0:02:29.600 --> 0:02:34.359 also just threw passes to eleven different people. That is incredible. 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:36.880 And on our show Monday with Chris Godwin on and 0:02:36.880 --> 0:02:38.320 he was like, I don't think I knew we had 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.560 eleven eligible receivers. 0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:44.320 We had twelve. Yeah, ko Keift was the only said 0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:48.519 they were like, actually there were thirteen because Vitavea was 0:02:48.520 --> 0:02:49.280 eligible for two. 0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.240 Plays, which again I'm very upset both Co and Vita 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:53.560 didn't get a pass I need. 0:02:54.080 --> 0:02:57.720 Now we're spoiled. We have gotten to witness that. 0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.360 Well, we'll try to make sure you get to waste 0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:03.320 one on your type because it's majestic and wonderful. Yeah, 0:03:03.320 --> 0:03:05.680 eleven different people caught a pass, and then of course 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:09.520 that also leads into four different people scored a rushing touchdown, 0:03:09.560 --> 0:03:13.200 which has never happened, which has never happened in franchise history. 0:03:14.040 --> 0:03:17.040 And also we already have more rushing touchdowns than we 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:17.840 had all of last Sea. 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:19.400 Three more, yeah, a lot more. 0:03:20.240 --> 0:03:21.160 There's six games to go. 0:03:21.919 --> 0:03:23.880 It wasn't very long before we were going to surpass 0:03:23.960 --> 0:03:26.400 that total. But I just felt like, as much as 0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:29.000 you talked about the explosive plays, I was like, man, 0:03:29.040 --> 0:03:31.320 I want to talk about this run game a little bit, because, 0:03:31.360 --> 0:03:34.880 for one thing, the Giant strength was their defensive line 0:03:34.920 --> 0:03:37.240 and their defensive front, guys like Brian Burns, guys like 0:03:37.280 --> 0:03:39.000 Dexter Lawrence in there, that that was going to be 0:03:39.040 --> 0:03:42.440 the strength of their team. And for the first time, 0:03:42.480 --> 0:03:44.080 I mean in franchise history, I have all these different 0:03:44.080 --> 0:03:46.200 players rush for a touchdown. And then also the team 0:03:46.200 --> 0:03:48.400 overall rushed for one hundred and fifty six yards as 0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:50.120 a team, which is the third most in the game 0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.880 this season, and we have at least one hundred rushing 0:03:52.920 --> 0:03:56.600 yards in eight of our eleven games, only had six 0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:59.440 games over that last year. And then this is the 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.440 stat that I think is the most exciting when you 0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:04.119 just look at the rushing game so far this year 0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:07.320 for us, we're sixth in the lead in yards per attempt. 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:10.200 That was not the stat the last couple of years. 0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.720 Last yes, last, dead last. 0:04:12.560 --> 0:04:14.400 Dead last the last few years. To go from that 0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:18.840 to sixth is incredible. And I think that, of course 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:20.560 we have to give credit to guys like Bucky. We 0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:22.599 saw his big, you know run that he had, and 0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.599 of course maybe even credit to Baker for his blood 0:04:24.640 --> 0:04:26.920 game than that. But really, of course we have to 0:04:26.920 --> 0:04:29.760 give the offensive line so much credit, and I know 0:04:29.800 --> 0:04:33.280 we've done that a few times recently, but especially this week, 0:04:33.320 --> 0:04:35.279 and I love that Coach Bowles mentioned it both in 0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.599 his press conference and my show of just what a 0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:40.479 great job those guys are doing, and he specifically shouted 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.560 out Graham Barton and Cody Mauch that he said, you 0:04:44.680 --> 0:04:48.000 forget their first and second year players. They've helped us 0:04:48.000 --> 0:04:52.720 from a strength, attitude and intelligence standpoint and then he said, 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:53.919 Cody goes more unnoticed. 0:04:53.920 --> 0:04:56.000 You know, he talked about how everybody loves to talk about. 0:04:55.760 --> 0:04:57.680 Tristan and Luke and even Graham is a rookie, he's 0:04:57.720 --> 0:04:59.880 like Cody kind of we don't talk about him as much. 0:05:00.320 --> 0:05:02.520 But he was come out he's done an incredible job 0:05:02.560 --> 0:05:05.120 and that he's put on some weight, improved his technique 0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:08.000 and isn't getting pushed back like he was some last year. 0:05:08.200 --> 0:05:09.680 And then he said Graham is playing like a two 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:12.039 or three year guy in terms of making the calls 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.719 at the line. I think that's definitely something that fans 0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:18.240 don't always know to appreciate, is how much weight are 0:05:18.839 --> 0:05:21.559 you taking off of Baker? How much are you also 0:05:21.640 --> 0:05:23.560 then communicating to the rest of the line, And that 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:26.320 for rookie centers sometimes you don't even ask them to 0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:28.200 do that very much if you don't trust them to 0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:30.320 do it or believe in it. And I remember even hearing, 0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:32.600 you know, when Jason Kelsey retired from the Eagles that all 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.800 of sudden, Jalen Hurts was having to do all of that, 0:05:35.200 --> 0:05:37.240 and it was like he was talking about, like, WHOA, 0:05:37.320 --> 0:05:39.280 this is a load on me that I hadn't been 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:42.360 having to do. So the more your rookie center can 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:45.479 already be doing in that area, that's a great sign 0:05:45.720 --> 0:05:47.320 for moving forward and what that's going to mean. And then, 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:49.920 of course, also Justin School a great job in Tristan's 0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:51.960 wake that I know that you know, we had wondered 0:05:51.960 --> 0:05:53.720 how that was going to go, because especially when he 0:05:53.720 --> 0:05:55.160 had to come in in the Lion's game and go 0:05:55.200 --> 0:05:56.280 against Aiden Hutchinson. 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:59.480 That's rough for anybody. So I think this was a 0:05:59.480 --> 0:05:59.920 great sign. 0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.719 Have seen that again against a good defensive front that 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.160 the Giants have, that School hung in there really tough. 0:06:06.200 --> 0:06:08.960 You didn't notice, and that's the goal of an offensive 0:06:09.000 --> 0:06:10.560 lineman is to kind of not notice them. 0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:13.800 Remember when Tristan Wurz was switching from right tackle to 0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:16.520 left tackle and everybody, including him, talked about how that 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.240 could be a really hard transition. Think about the fact 0:06:19.240 --> 0:06:22.200 that a swing tackle in the NFL, like justin School, 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:24.760 has to know how to play Bowl week at any point, 0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.839 and he has and he's played. The Detroit game was tough, 0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.040 as you said, but since then he's really filled in nicely. 0:06:31.080 --> 0:06:34.080 In four other starts on both sides. That can't be easy. 0:06:34.120 --> 0:06:36.360 And also we didn't plan this, but I ran across 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:39.280 Jason Light this morning as I was coming into the building, 0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:42.880 and I talked about the fact that i'd heard that 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:45.920 before the game on Sunday, he predicted that our offensive 0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:47.920 line was going to have a great game and specifically 0:06:47.960 --> 0:06:51.720 mentioned Ben Brettison going back to play the Giants. And 0:06:52.000 --> 0:06:54.240 I thought, that's a really bold prediction to make in 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:56.719 this game, because, as we talked about last week, the 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.600 Giant's main strength is their pass rush. That's their best thing. 0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:01.600 They were leading the league in sacks for pass play, 0:07:02.000 --> 0:07:04.599 and they got no sacks and two quarterback hits and 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:09.000 Dexter Lawrence was mostly a non factor. And he was 0:07:09.040 --> 0:07:12.400 just raving about the fact that Ben Brettison was like 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:15.360 a Shack Bearratt type of signing and that you got 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.560 him at a very reasonable cost and then he's made 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:19.400 a huge impact. 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:20.040 That's awesome. 0:07:20.080 --> 0:07:21.960 And then of course we talked about the Giants the 0:07:22.000 --> 0:07:25.080 defensive front being their strength. Our defensive front was one 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.240 of our strengths in this game. One hundred percent. I 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:29.280 think we did what they wished they could have done. 0:07:30.360 --> 0:07:34.640 Vita and Calija just this little one two punch out there, 0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.200 tell us I mean, we all saw they were doing 0:07:37.240 --> 0:07:39.760 amazing things. But tell us what you noticed about their production, 0:07:39.840 --> 0:07:41.240 what they ended up meeting to this defense. 0:07:41.280 --> 0:07:43.720 Yeah, well, big day overall war the Bucks past rush. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:45.400 Four players got sacks. 0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:48.360 She mentioned Clydia Kanty Vitavea, and then Anchwine, Winfo Junior 0:07:48.360 --> 0:07:51.400 and Anthony Nelson. But Clydeija Kancy vidave and they have 0:07:51.400 --> 0:07:54.119 a combined eleven sacks, and they've laughed that they're both 0:07:54.280 --> 0:07:55.400 trying to one up each other. 0:07:55.520 --> 0:07:57.680 They're both battling to get double digit sacks. 0:07:57.960 --> 0:08:01.040 But I think you just see how they compliment on 0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:02.720 each other each other. 0:08:02.760 --> 0:08:04.200 They're playing at an elite level. 0:08:04.240 --> 0:08:07.680 You have Vitavea that has that raw power, is able 0:08:07.680 --> 0:08:10.200 to drive blockers back, and then you have Callijah. 0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:10.600 That coming out of Pitt. 0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:12.720 The big thing with him was that explosive first step, 0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.400 the quickness, the change of direction, and you're seeing the 0:08:15.400 --> 0:08:18.320 fruition of that. But then you have guys like Anthony 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:20.720 Nelson that it seems like every single time he's put 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:23.360 in there, he's making an impact whatever seb package it is. 0:08:24.120 --> 0:08:26.400 And then even just on I mean, Todd Bowles was 0:08:26.480 --> 0:08:30.080 relentless and bringing pressure on Tommy DeVito, who only had 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:34.079 three completions in the entire first half. They totaled forty 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:36.400 five yards, which was the least amount of the Bucks 0:08:36.440 --> 0:08:40.120 have given up in his single half this season. So 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:42.240 you're just starting to see all of those elements I 0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.480 think come into play, and that starts with their ability 0:08:44.520 --> 0:08:46.160 to get push in the interior. 0:08:46.240 --> 0:08:47.600 Yeah, I mean, I just think it was such a 0:08:47.600 --> 0:08:49.680 big game for the defense overall. Hold them to forty 0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:53.640 five yards in the first half, that's unbelievable, and I 0:08:54.040 --> 0:08:55.840 just feel like we saw kind of all the levels 0:08:55.880 --> 0:08:57.880 working well together. And of course, like you said, it 0:08:57.920 --> 0:09:00.320 helps that they're getting that push. They're not let them 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:01.960 have all day to sit back there and throw. It 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:02.680 helps everybody. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:05.839 Producer Cody, can can we do requests? I don't know 0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:07.320 if you can do requests. 0:09:06.880 --> 0:09:09.080 Like are calling in a phrom you play? 0:09:09.559 --> 0:09:12.160 Can you play that Beata Veasak again? I don't know 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:14.640 how easy that is to just call up on the spot. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.760 I would love to see that again and comment on it. 0:09:17.800 --> 0:09:20.160 That's true. It was one of the most incredible things 0:09:20.160 --> 0:09:20.400 for me. 0:09:23.480 --> 0:09:26.400 It's it's not nice what he did to that person. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.040 He makes it look like he's playing you know, with 0:09:29.200 --> 0:09:32.360 like kids sports, they have like the age and weight divisions. 0:09:32.880 --> 0:09:34.120 He looks that. 0:09:36.240 --> 0:09:39.000 He looks like he's the kid playing down in age 0:09:39.080 --> 0:09:40.240 or weight class. 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.320 Ye, that's like, hey, let's check his birth certificate out 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:44.400 here with these guys. 0:09:44.160 --> 0:09:47.520 Like thanks, Cody Bullet. It was funny because that's that's 0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:49.880 the play. Obviously the collide was talking about when he 0:09:49.880 --> 0:09:52.000 spoke to the media on Monday, and he said, it's like, 0:09:52.160 --> 0:09:55.400 he's not mean, He's he's in the huddle before the play, 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:58.360 laughing and making jokes. He's like, he's not pissed off, 0:09:58.559 --> 0:09:59.960 like and then he goes out and he does that 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.920 to a grown man, What would he look like? 0:10:02.920 --> 0:10:03.480 Not angry? 0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:06.839 Yeah, that highlights that. 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:09.000 Was pretty incredible. Well, we uh, I know that. 0:10:09.120 --> 0:10:11.240 We talked about how the bye week was very well 0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:15.000 timed for it seems like a reset some injury recoveries. 0:10:15.120 --> 0:10:17.000 It was great to have Mike Evans back out there 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.840 and Jamel Dean back out there. But of course now 0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:23.000 we have some other new injuries things to look back 0:10:23.040 --> 0:10:25.000 at and to see who might be coming back win. 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:27.160 So we don't because we're shooting this. 0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:30.120 Wednesday morning, we don't have an injury report yet, but 0:10:30.120 --> 0:10:31.440 what are you going to be keeping an eye on 0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:32.400 going into this game. 0:10:33.080 --> 0:10:36.280 Well, so it's expected that Jordan Whitehead's gonna miss extended 0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.120 time with that pectoral injury. We still don't know kind 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.599 of the full diagnosis of that yet. Todd Bowles is 0:10:41.640 --> 0:10:43.080 going to give us more on that today, but he 0:10:43.120 --> 0:10:46.200 did confirm that Joe Tryon Shoyinka has his brained ankle. 0:10:46.640 --> 0:10:48.320 We're not sure if the severity of that or how 0:10:48.400 --> 0:10:51.600 much time he's going to miss. And then Baker Mayfield 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:54.560 exited the game briefly with that next stinger, but of 0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:56.960 course Baker immediately. 0:10:56.559 --> 0:10:57.000 Came back in. 0:10:57.480 --> 0:11:01.520 And then Tristan Wurf's last week with that foot knee injury, 0:11:01.520 --> 0:11:03.280 did a little bit practice in a limited fashion, a 0:11:03.320 --> 0:11:05.000 little bit with the second team, So we'll see kind 0:11:05.000 --> 0:11:07.200 of how he's able to progress what he does this week, 0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:09.480 along with Tykee Smith with the knee injury. 0:11:09.679 --> 0:11:12.040 Yeah, it'll be interesting to see what Tristan does in practice. 0:11:12.080 --> 0:11:14.280 It was good news they was on in the practice 0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:16.760 student all last week, but he wasn't taking a lot 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:20.160 of team drill snips and a lot of first team snaps, 0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:22.240 and so that was a good indication that they didn't 0:11:22.240 --> 0:11:23.679 expect him to be able to play, but I bet 0:11:23.720 --> 0:11:24.319 you he's close. 0:11:24.559 --> 0:11:27.319 I also feel like of the injuries that have happened, 0:11:27.760 --> 0:11:29.880 we have to be really reassured by the fact that, Okay, 0:11:29.920 --> 0:11:31.840 so Tristan depends on when he comes back and what 0:11:31.960 --> 0:11:32.480 level he's at. 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.320 I mean, just in school did really well. 0:11:34.720 --> 0:11:37.000 And then the timing of Jordan Whitehead missing time and 0:11:37.120 --> 0:11:40.720 us having signed Mike Edwards pretty incredible on that front. 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:44.199 And then Tykee Smith, who's been incredible but man coach 0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:48.960 has just praised Christianizian so highly. In this league, it 0:11:49.000 --> 0:11:51.800 is not that common, I think, for a starter and 0:11:51.880 --> 0:11:54.199 star player to get hurt and it not be an 0:11:54.200 --> 0:11:56.440 incredibly noticeable. 0:11:55.960 --> 0:11:58.400 Because you don't normally have a backup that's anywhere close. 0:11:58.559 --> 0:12:01.160 And that, to me is what is so interesting about 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.880 these specific injuries of like, if this is what you're 0:12:03.920 --> 0:12:06.520 gonna have injury wise at this point, this crucial time 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.480 in the season, I feel like it's great to know that, like, hey, 0:12:09.640 --> 0:12:12.440 we have people at each of these spots that we 0:12:12.480 --> 0:12:14.840 feel really good about. So now let's get into some 0:12:14.920 --> 0:12:18.160 Bucks trivia. Brie, give us our question for everyone to answer. 0:12:18.440 --> 0:12:20.120 Oh, by the way, last week I read one that 0:12:20.160 --> 0:12:22.800 you would have known you did that on purpose. 0:12:24.120 --> 0:12:25.640 He didn't believe, which means I'm not going to know 0:12:25.679 --> 0:12:28.719 the day I've already I've already accepted it. 0:12:29.120 --> 0:12:32.040 Okay, So Mike Evans had two hundred and seven receiving 0:12:32.160 --> 0:12:35.600 yards against the Panthers on January first, twenty twenty three. 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.280 But he's not the only Buccaneer with a two hundred 0:12:38.360 --> 0:12:41.199 yard receiving game against Carolina. 0:12:41.600 --> 0:12:43.800 Who is the other one? Not? 0:12:44.200 --> 0:12:46.200 If I'm not gonna now, I'm like, well, it's obviously 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:47.280 nobody obvious. 0:12:47.480 --> 0:12:49.280 I don't know, maybe like Carrier or someone. 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:51.720 That's like uh Mark Carrier last played for the Buccaneers 0:12:51.760 --> 0:12:52.600 in nineteen ninety two. 0:12:52.720 --> 0:12:56.920 Yeah, I thought, I don't know, maybe pans did exist. 0:12:59.320 --> 0:12:59.800 The weapons. 0:12:59.800 --> 0:13:02.240 When I try to guess, I just picked an obscure person. 0:13:04.240 --> 0:13:06.040 The thing about Mike is we would love him to 0:13:06.040 --> 0:13:08.600 have another two hundred yard game against them, Yeah, because 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:12.160 he's got that whole I don't think it's foremost on 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:14.160 anyone's mind. It would be great if it happened. If 0:13:14.200 --> 0:13:16.400 he got to a thousand yards for the eleventh straight season. 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:18.760 Once he came back, he needed to get ninety five 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.160 per game, and he got sixty eight against the Panthers 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:22.880 because we didn't throw a pass in the fourth quarter, 0:13:23.440 --> 0:13:26.000 so it was situationally he probably would have gotten there. 0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.120 But now he has to almost exactly get one hundred 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:30.040 yards per game down the stretch, which he's capable of, 0:13:30.320 --> 0:13:32.280 but you don't normally get a hundred, one hundred, one hundred, 0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.600 a hundred. He's going to need one big one or 0:13:34.600 --> 0:13:36.440 two big games. It'd be nice if it happened. 0:13:36.200 --> 0:13:38.560 Against that would be very handy. I have another guest, 0:13:38.559 --> 0:13:39.520 but I don't want to say it out loud. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:41.120 Go ahead, I don't know. 0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:42.200 Maybe Vincent Jackson. 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:43.760 That's a good guess. 0:13:43.800 --> 0:13:44.120 Thank you. 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.160 That's not correct, but that is absolutely good guess. 0:13:47.559 --> 0:13:49.040 This is a good effort. I tried. 0:13:49.080 --> 0:13:50.960 I had to redeem myself after it, but he didn't 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.880 exist then, so I had to do something else, all right, 0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:56.319 So milestones were tracking, Oh, I forgot what it was, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:13:57.520 What is. 0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:00.920 It, Baker? And then uh, yeah, you have your. 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:05.920 So Baker had finished that game against the Giants with 0:14:05.960 --> 0:14:08.200 a one oh seven point five passer rating, which is 0:14:08.240 --> 0:14:10.640 good but not off the charts, right, but think about 0:14:10.679 --> 0:14:12.520 the fact that he didn't throw a touchdown pass because 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:14.000 we kept getting stopped at the one yard land and 0:14:14.040 --> 0:14:16.280 running in, which is fine, which is fine anyway you 0:14:16.320 --> 0:14:18.560 get the ball in. They don't care. But he didn't 0:14:18.559 --> 0:14:20.360 have a touchdown pass and he had a one hundred and 0:14:20.360 --> 0:14:23.320 some point five passering, So I looked it up. That's 0:14:23.360 --> 0:14:27.480 the best single game passer rating in Buccaneer's history when 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:30.080 you didn't throw a touchdowns, which all that does is 0:14:30.120 --> 0:14:32.320 show you how unbelievably efficient he was. 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:34.400 In that game, right, that's amazing, And I love how 0:14:34.400 --> 0:14:36.880 he keeps doing interesting things with passer ratings of like he. 0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.680 Had the Green Bay game with the perfect one. First 0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:39.280 person to do. 0:14:39.240 --> 0:14:41.600 That in Lambell, Like he's just he keeps finding ways 0:14:41.640 --> 0:14:43.840 to have unique stats with passer ratings. 0:14:43.840 --> 0:14:45.520 He's like, you know what, whatever takes, I'm gonna get 0:14:45.520 --> 0:14:45.840 it done. 0:14:45.880 --> 0:14:48.240 The only guys with a pass rating of one oh 0:14:48.280 --> 0:14:49.840 five are better in a game when they didn't throw 0:14:49.840 --> 0:14:52.600 a touchdown pass or him, Kurt Warner in the early 0:14:52.600 --> 0:14:55.200 two thousands and Ben Roethlisberger in like twenty fourteen, and 0:14:55.200 --> 0:14:56.640 plus he give us all this entertainment. 0:14:56.760 --> 0:14:59.360 He was like, I felt like, especially with Gladiator coming 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:02.800 out right now, like. 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:06.360 He's diving into the end zone. He's blocking fifty yards 0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:07.280 downfield and love. 0:15:07.320 --> 0:15:09.400 We also talked about this on our show Monday with 0:15:09.440 --> 0:15:13.040 cameras that we were laughing that he's like, come on, Bucky, this. 0:15:12.960 --> 0:15:17.560 Way, I know where you should run. How about this one? Yeah, 0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:21.280 the only like ten yards to get that fumble. 0:15:22.160 --> 0:15:24.760 I was laughing because it's like he didn't play quarterback 0:15:25.280 --> 0:15:28.120 against he just played He did everything. 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:32.760 It was just he was doing everything running back. You 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:34.560 have to love it, and you know it inspires the 0:15:34.600 --> 0:15:35.000 whole team. 0:15:35.040 --> 0:15:37.040 You know, they're like, if this guy's making these kind 0:15:37.040 --> 0:15:39.200 of effort plays, if this guy's doing this, and also 0:15:39.240 --> 0:15:41.520 he's getting a little skirmish on the sideline at one point, 0:15:41.520 --> 0:15:42.160 Like I just love it. 0:15:42.200 --> 0:15:44.600 This was definitely like a Moxie Swag game. 0:15:44.800 --> 0:15:48.040 He blocked a guy named Flat. The guy's name was Flat. 0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.040 It's not great. 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:53.320 It's not great, all right, So Fantasy watch, what are 0:15:53.320 --> 0:15:54.240 we looking at for you? 0:15:54.400 --> 0:15:54.760 Okay? 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:56.760 So I think now I've said in the past that 0:15:56.800 --> 0:15:59.840 the Bucks backfield from fantasy purposes is a difficult thing 0:16:00.200 --> 0:16:04.080 because you just never know. And we ran three guys. 0:16:04.120 --> 0:16:06.360 I think now is the time that it's if you 0:16:06.400 --> 0:16:09.640 have buckets every but Bucky, everything's on somebody's team in 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:12.640 your league. If you have him, you can start playing 0:16:12.680 --> 0:16:14.280 the week to week every week. Now, I think I 0:16:14.280 --> 0:16:16.640 think he's a safe play if you look at it. 0:16:16.880 --> 0:16:20.160 He has over eleven points in seven of the last 0:16:20.240 --> 0:16:22.480 nine games. And generally, if you if you if you 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:24.160 could start a guy and know he's going to give 0:16:24.240 --> 0:16:25.720 you ten or eleven points, and you're fine with that, 0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:27.920 and maybe it'll be more, but you know you're gonna 0:16:27.920 --> 0:16:30.560 get ten or eleven, you're cool. He's had over eleven 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.760 points in seven of the last nine nine games. In 0:16:32.800 --> 0:16:35.760 his last six are eighteen point five, sixteen point seven, 0:16:35.960 --> 0:16:39.280 fifteen point four, six point four, seventeen point seven, and 0:16:39.400 --> 0:16:42.040 twenty seven point one in this last game. So he's 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:44.360 getting it done week after week after week. And now 0:16:44.560 --> 0:16:46.920 in this last game two things. For the first time 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:50.240
