0:00:08.440 --> 0:00:11.000

<v Speaker 1>comments section. As we give people chance to head on

0:00:21.840 --> 0:00:23.759
<v Speaker 1>over there and start asking some questions. Figured we just

0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.439
<v Speaker 1>start with some of the overall takeaways from the game

0:00:26.440 --> 0:00:29.480
<v Speaker 1>in Nashville. Um, it was sort of a hard game

0:00:29.480 --> 0:00:32.280
<v Speaker 1>to interpret at times of where man, lots of mistakes

0:00:32.280 --> 0:00:34.680
<v Speaker 1>that happened, but then you're still have a lead, you know,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>late in the third, which based on how things have gone,

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.760
<v Speaker 1>I feel like that's sort of encouraging and not. It

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:40.879
<v Speaker 1>was just sort of a hard game to to figure out.

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:42.280
<v Speaker 1>And then you have the fumble at the end that

0:00:42.400 --> 0:00:44.519
<v Speaker 1>turned into not a fumble, and I felt like it

0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.199
<v Speaker 1>could have led a very different storyline. How how that

0:00:47.400 --> 0:00:50.839
<v Speaker 1>if that had gone differently minutes? Yeah, that's kind of

0:00:50.840 --> 0:00:52.600
<v Speaker 1>handy in the end of a football game. I've heard

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to be ahead there, so just how how have you

0:00:54.640 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>now that you've got a chance to look back at

0:00:56.360 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit. Um, diagnosed what all pros cons good

0:01:00.080 --> 0:01:02.320
<v Speaker 1>bad happened in that game. You know, during the game.

0:01:02.440 --> 0:01:04.800
<v Speaker 1>The thing that struck me in the first half was

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 1>that every time it seemed like we were grabbing the

0:01:08.720 --> 0:01:11.160
<v Speaker 1>momentum in some way, we gave it right back. It

0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>was really an air filled and um first half and

0:01:15.600 --> 0:01:19.720
<v Speaker 1>uh first half full of momentum swings. As an example,

0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:23.479
<v Speaker 1>very first possession, you get the big past inference calling

0:01:23.560 --> 0:01:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Mike Evans part of his huge day. You got a

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>first and goal right away, and then you don't get

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:32.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball in the end zone. So momentum momentum swinging back.

0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>First drive for Tennessee. The defense looks phenomenal. Jpp as

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:37.959
<v Speaker 1>a sack on the very first play of the season

0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:40.720
<v Speaker 1>for him again it feels like, okay, we're taking control here.

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.000
<v Speaker 1>The next six plays after the punt were essentially all negative.

0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>It was like penalty, penalty, penalty, uh, turnover, penalty, touchdown.

0:01:52.400 --> 0:01:54.360
<v Speaker 1>And that kept happening throughout the first half, and it

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>started to feel like, man, this is gonna be a

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.720
<v Speaker 1>long day. And then I will say, and I know

0:01:58.840 --> 0:02:02.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't see quite what the comments are, but I'm

0:02:02.600 --> 0:02:05.440
<v Speaker 1>suspecting they're not going to be very very today, happy today.

0:02:05.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 1>And I get that. So nobody's gonna want to hear

0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:10.480
<v Speaker 1>me say that the word encouraging, I'm sure, but it

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:14.839
<v Speaker 1>was encouraging to me that they did come back from that.

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 1>All those issues in the first half, some of themselves inflicted.

0:02:18.000 --> 0:02:20.000
<v Speaker 1>Some of them just bad luck, you know, some of

0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>them good play by Tennessee. The touchdown right before the

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.320
<v Speaker 1>half on a nice drive. Mike Evans had to make

0:02:25.320 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>an amazing play to get us down there, and then

0:02:26.840 --> 0:02:28.600
<v Speaker 1>he scored the touchdown on a really nice play by

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:31.600
<v Speaker 1>Jamis and then to get another touchdown right after the half.

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:35.320
<v Speaker 1>That was a nice job of coming back. And it

0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:38.080
<v Speaker 1>was a bit surprising at that point when the defense

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>which had given up very little, uh the two touchdowns

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.560
<v Speaker 1>the Tennessee scored where drives up like four and five yards,

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.399
<v Speaker 1>they had given up very little. They gave up two

0:02:46.400 --> 0:02:48.880
<v Speaker 1>extended drives that were ten points. And that was a

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:52.359
<v Speaker 1>bit surprising at the time. And that's what has to change, right,

0:02:52.600 --> 0:02:55.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, somebody has to make a play in those situations,

0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:58.160
<v Speaker 1>especially on third down, which is what Bruce arians was

0:02:58.160 --> 0:02:59.880
<v Speaker 1>talking about. You just we gave up a couple of

0:03:00.040 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>or downs that we have to not do and stop

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:07.280
<v Speaker 1>that drive. But even then you're down by four and

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:09.280
<v Speaker 1>you still have a shot. And then the great play

0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>by Devin White on the fake field goal and what

0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.720
<v Speaker 1>could have been a touchdown but wasn't, and then of

0:03:13.760 --> 0:03:16.920
<v Speaker 1>course the fourth down play that didn't work, and so

0:03:16.960 --> 0:03:18.360
<v Speaker 1>you end up at the end of that game. I

0:03:18.360 --> 0:03:22.360
<v Speaker 1>think I think the team felt worse at the end

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.200
<v Speaker 1>of that game than any other game this year except

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:27.360
<v Speaker 1>maybe the Giants, and probably worse because things have accumulated

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>since the Giants game just left you one and two.

0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.840
<v Speaker 1>This game leads you two and five. So a lot

0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:36.320
<v Speaker 1>of emotional swings in that game, and and again at

0:03:36.360 --> 0:03:39.120
<v Speaker 1>the end, it felt like really one other than the

0:03:39.120 --> 0:03:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Giants game. It's the number one game that got away.

0:03:41.400 --> 0:03:42.960
<v Speaker 1>But you at the end, you're like, how did we

0:03:43.000 --> 0:03:45.560
<v Speaker 1>not win that game? Yeah, that's a great point. Um,

0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>I know we we're probably gonna get a million questions

0:03:47.360 --> 0:03:50.520
<v Speaker 1>related to this topic, so we'll start. David asked, why

0:03:50.600 --> 0:03:52.160
<v Speaker 1>was there not more of a push for help in

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.200
<v Speaker 1>the trade deadline? Well, again, it's the same, it's the

0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>same answer as always. I know, it seems like the

0:03:58.800 --> 0:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>trade deadline and the week before, you know, there was

0:04:01.600 --> 0:04:03.520
<v Speaker 1>a couple of deals made, There was a lot of activity,

0:04:03.520 --> 0:04:07.200
<v Speaker 1>but overall there really wasn't how many teams actually went

0:04:07.200 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>out and got something that helps them because there's not

0:04:10.360 --> 0:04:12.960
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of that available usually, right. I mean,

0:04:12.960 --> 0:04:14.880
<v Speaker 1>a couple of guys got receivers, a couple of teams

0:04:14.920 --> 0:04:17.800
<v Speaker 1>got receivers. Yet to be seen if mohammedan new is

0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:19.159
<v Speaker 1>going to be a different s Maaker in New England

0:04:19.240 --> 0:04:24.160
<v Speaker 1>or or Emmanuel Sanders in San Francisco. Uh, you know what,

0:04:24.440 --> 0:04:26.640
<v Speaker 1>they are sure they would have liked to tackle a

0:04:27.240 --> 0:04:30.880
<v Speaker 1>you know, some offensive line help. Um, a cornerback who

0:04:30.920 --> 0:04:33.200
<v Speaker 1>got one of those you know, a key till he

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:34.840
<v Speaker 1>was traded, but he's on injured reserve and he was

0:04:34.839 --> 0:04:38.279
<v Speaker 1>basically it looked like a salary dump. So the reason

0:04:38.320 --> 0:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>that there wasn't a lot done is because there's usually

0:04:40.839 --> 0:04:42.880
<v Speaker 1>not a lot done. Yeah, that's a great point, goodline,

0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.600
<v Speaker 1>especially not something substantive that helps a team that's two

0:04:45.600 --> 0:04:49.160
<v Speaker 1>and five suddenly become a team that wins every week. Right. Um.

0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I saw a few people asking about Brashad Perriman and

0:04:52.320 --> 0:04:54.400
<v Speaker 1>if that would have been someone that maybe could have

0:04:54.400 --> 0:04:57.680
<v Speaker 1>been either you know, traded or um just the idea

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:00.159
<v Speaker 1>of what his value is. Trade talks or e you

0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>when you're like, okay, I think we should trade Bushad

0:05:04.000 --> 0:05:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Perriman for X. Well, you gotta get something to agree

0:05:06.440 --> 0:05:09.800
<v Speaker 1>with you, right, Um, So all we had. There were

0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>also a few people asking just about his value um

0:05:12.680 --> 0:05:14.600
<v Speaker 1>to the team moving forward. And I've also seen a

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>couple of people asking if, um, there's a chance that

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.360
<v Speaker 1>you could move like an O j Ra cam into

0:05:20.400 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>that more of a true receiver spot. I think there's

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>some valid um validiting to that. You. The point is,

0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 1>and I'm sure that person knows that are two starting receivers,

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:36.159
<v Speaker 1>Mike Evans and Chris Godwin are the most productive duo

0:05:36.320 --> 0:05:41.320
<v Speaker 1>of receivers in the NFL, and it's not particularly close. Um,

0:05:41.360 --> 0:05:43.400
<v Speaker 1>and those guys are producing off the charts. I mean,

0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:46.279
<v Speaker 1>it's amazing to me to think that Mike Evans is

0:05:46.320 --> 0:05:49.359
<v Speaker 1>still on pace for about fifty yards when so is

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin. You would think that would be a little

0:05:51.839 --> 0:05:54.280
<v Speaker 1>given take there, but I guess the give and take

0:05:54.360 --> 0:05:57.240
<v Speaker 1>has come with everybody else there. If you look at

0:05:57.320 --> 0:05:59.760
<v Speaker 1>all of the people that have played third receiver for us,

0:06:00.320 --> 0:06:03.919
<v Speaker 1>their combined output is very very small, Uh, and and

0:06:03.960 --> 0:06:06.480
<v Speaker 1>I agree we have two tight ends at least maybe

0:06:06.480 --> 0:06:11.040
<v Speaker 1>even three with Tanner Hudson who can do something and

0:06:11.120 --> 0:06:14.240
<v Speaker 1>create mismatches in the passing game. And so yeah, what

0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.400
<v Speaker 1>you're basically talking about is playing instead of playing is

0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:18.560
<v Speaker 1>so much eleven personnel as we've been playing, playing more

0:06:18.600 --> 0:06:21.760
<v Speaker 1>twelve personnel. Uh. And then yeah, you could flex, ub,

0:06:21.960 --> 0:06:24.679
<v Speaker 1>you could push, and they do. They can put Cam

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.640
<v Speaker 1>or or o g Out in a slot and create mismatches.

0:06:27.680 --> 0:06:29.280
<v Speaker 1>And the good thing about that also is when you

0:06:30.000 --> 0:06:32.040
<v Speaker 1>when you do go out there in twelve, defense usually

0:06:32.080 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>responds with more of a base package than going to Nickel.

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.039
<v Speaker 1>So you're you're gonna have o J or Cam in

0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.000
<v Speaker 1>the slot, and what does he what do they match

0:06:41.040 --> 0:06:43.000
<v Speaker 1>up with him? It's usually a safety or linebacker. And

0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:44.719
<v Speaker 1>that's of course they don't want to match him up

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>with the quarterback is of the size problem. But match

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>them up certain safeties and certain linebackers are gonna have

0:06:49.360 --> 0:06:53.279
<v Speaker 1>issues with the speed. Right. So yeah, I think there's

0:06:53.279 --> 0:06:55.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of validity and that and hopefully o J

0:06:55.160 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>comes back quickly from his um hamstring injury. I know

0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Cam was a bit beating up at the end of

0:07:00.680 --> 0:07:02.160
<v Speaker 1>that game. So if those guys are available, like, I

0:07:02.240 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>definitely think there's a lot of validity in that. Okay,

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.520
<v Speaker 1>and round that same position with Gene asked, what is

0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:09.400
<v Speaker 1>the status on Tanner Hudson. Um. I guess he's just

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>sort of meaning the role that he could play moving

0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:13.320
<v Speaker 1>forward or how we felt. That was his first game

0:07:13.360 --> 0:07:16.160
<v Speaker 1>actually being active this season because o J was out.

0:07:16.320 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>I think every game they're going to go into it

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>with the intention of having three active tight ends. We

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.600
<v Speaker 1>have four on the roster, and there's gonna be three. Uh.

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:25.640
<v Speaker 1>Tanner was obviously active, and he's a pass catching tied in.

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:28.400
<v Speaker 1>You remember from the preseason, he had an enormously good preseason,

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.280
<v Speaker 1>tons of numbers and a lot of really like acrobatic catches,

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean, really showed off some amazing hands. But the

0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>storyline along the same time was he's still developing as

0:07:36.080 --> 0:07:39.280
<v Speaker 1>a blocker, same thing that they've said about Cam throughout

0:07:39.280 --> 0:07:43.560
<v Speaker 1>his career. Um, so he's more likely to be your

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 1>replacement for O J when he's hurt. Right, Uh, You're

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:49.720
<v Speaker 1>gonna keep Antonio Claire up because they love his blocking

0:07:49.760 --> 0:07:51.040
<v Speaker 1>and you need a guy like that for a lot

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>of your two and three tighten sets, and then you

0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:55.360
<v Speaker 1>have O. J. And Cam who are both good and

0:07:55.400 --> 0:07:58.440
<v Speaker 1>proven pass catchers. So as long as those guys are healthy,

0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:01.560
<v Speaker 1>Tanner sort of just waiting his turn, right, But I

0:08:01.600 --> 0:08:04.160
<v Speaker 1>do like him. I do like his potential. I was

0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:06.680
<v Speaker 1>sad he didn't get that one touchdowns, especially he's from

0:08:06.720 --> 0:08:09.760
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee and his whole family was there would be it

0:08:09.800 --> 0:08:11.720
<v Speaker 1>was a it was a tough catch. Yeah, I don't

0:08:11.720 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>think you're expected to make that catch, but maybe he

0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:16.760
<v Speaker 1>would have. Um Nick said, looking at this first half

0:08:16.760 --> 0:08:18.520
<v Speaker 1>of the season and the mistakes that have been happening,

0:08:18.560 --> 0:08:21.200
<v Speaker 1>what do you think is the biggest issue that needs

0:08:21.240 --> 0:08:26.120
<v Speaker 1>to be corrected, either for this season or for next year. Well,

0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>the biggest issue just simply by the numbers. Obviously the

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.760
<v Speaker 1>past defense hasn't been good enough, although it was quite

0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.800
<v Speaker 1>a bit better. I think in this last game, if

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you look at what the receivers for Tennessee did, it

0:08:38.800 --> 0:08:41.160
<v Speaker 1>was about fifty yards. We didn't seem to have an answer.

0:08:41.160 --> 0:08:43.640
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know if his breakdowns or mismatches or what.

0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:46.080
<v Speaker 1>For their two tight ends, they koind of for about

0:08:46.080 --> 0:08:52.520
<v Speaker 1>a d twenty of their two forty yards, right, um

0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:55.439
<v Speaker 1>you know, the biggest issue for this team obviously is

0:08:55.440 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 1>the turnovers. But that's not as simple as saying, Okay,

0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:59.679
<v Speaker 1>next year we have to have a few returnovers and

0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.800
<v Speaker 1>there's It's not like they don't already know a lot

0:09:01.800 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>of different things go into it. I mean, take one

0:09:03.559 --> 0:09:07.920
<v Speaker 1>of the turnovers, the first fumble that went off James's

0:09:07.960 --> 0:09:11.720
<v Speaker 1>face mask on the snap. Coach makes a point of

0:09:11.840 --> 0:09:14.200
<v Speaker 1>telling us afterwards, and it seemed prettybvious actually watching it

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:16.439
<v Speaker 1>that really that wasn't Jameis fault ause the snap came

0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.199
<v Speaker 1>too early, so then you think, well that was Then

0:09:19.360 --> 0:09:21.400
<v Speaker 1>that means it was the center's fault. Range in his

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.199
<v Speaker 1>fault because he snapped early. Well, Harold Goodwin on one

0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:25.840
<v Speaker 1>of the radio shows on Money, he was with you,

0:09:26.440 --> 0:09:29.640
<v Speaker 1>so you know, he explained that when it's loud in

0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>a visiting stadium, you often have a system where the

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:33.640
<v Speaker 1>guy next to him, who's a guard who can look

0:09:33.679 --> 0:09:36.280
<v Speaker 1>back and get the signal from the quarterback right taps

0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:38.160
<v Speaker 1>him and then that tells him okay, in a second,

0:09:38.160 --> 0:09:40.760
<v Speaker 1>I snapped the ball. But didn't Harold say that he

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:43.560
<v Speaker 1>was whoever was and Ali? Yeah, he said that it

0:09:43.640 --> 0:09:46.199
<v Speaker 1>was Ali. That Ali was trying to communicate something else

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:49.240
<v Speaker 1>because essentially Jamis had asked to change who was going

0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:51.560
<v Speaker 1>to be on the mic, and you know some of

0:09:51.600 --> 0:09:54.680
<v Speaker 1>these matchups for blocking, and Ali was trying to convey

0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>that to Jens, trying to get his attention, and in

0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 1>doing that, tapped him in a too similar way to

0:10:01.320 --> 0:10:03.839
<v Speaker 1>the hey, snap the ball right now. So yeah, it's

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:05.800
<v Speaker 1>just one of those sort of things. So yeah, one

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:07.480
<v Speaker 1>of the things that you blame. You say, Okay, that

0:10:07.880 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>was a turnover you shouldn't have in an easy touchdown

0:10:09.880 --> 0:10:12.520
<v Speaker 1>for them, But that's kind of a flukey thing, right,

0:10:12.559 --> 0:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, yeah, Okay, Ali knows maybe next time to

0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:19.120
<v Speaker 1>try to tap them in a different way, but that's

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>not really like a problem you have to fix or

0:10:21.240 --> 0:10:24.040
<v Speaker 1>the last touchdown at the end of the game. Coach

0:10:24.160 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Coach Arian said after the game that the routes, the

0:10:28.760 --> 0:10:31.679
<v Speaker 1>route wasn't run right and uh and Dave Moore, who

0:10:31.760 --> 0:10:33.720
<v Speaker 1>was on her broadcast on the radio, was explaining that

0:10:33.760 --> 0:10:36.400
<v Speaker 1>when it's when it's covered to like that, that route

0:10:36.440 --> 0:10:39.560
<v Speaker 1>is supposed to cut more in like post and didn't.

0:10:40.360 --> 0:10:42.880
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, that makes a lot harder to identify what

0:10:42.920 --> 0:10:44.439
<v Speaker 1>all is going on that it's Yeah, if it's a

0:10:44.440 --> 0:10:47.360
<v Speaker 1>different reason for every turnover. It's hard to fix, but

0:10:47.360 --> 0:10:50.520
<v Speaker 1>but I think there are things decision making, better protection,

0:10:50.600 --> 0:10:55.200
<v Speaker 1>all that goes into Yeah, Michael said, do you think

0:10:55.240 --> 0:10:57.640
<v Speaker 1>it is more personnel or scheme that is causing the

0:10:57.679 --> 0:11:03.160
<v Speaker 1>secondary problems? Uh. I don't think it's scheme, but it

0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:08.920
<v Speaker 1>could be failure to execute the scheme. UM. In the

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:11.920
<v Speaker 1>last before the last game, because we haven't talked to

0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.920
<v Speaker 1>him yet, Todd Todd Bowles was talking about what they

0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:17.760
<v Speaker 1>were trying to clean up in the secondary because you know,

0:11:17.800 --> 0:11:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Carolina game wasn't great and UM and he said the

0:11:21.960 --> 0:11:23.960
<v Speaker 1>word communications settle times. So I think there's a lot

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:26.240
<v Speaker 1>of times when, especially if you're in zones or whatever

0:11:26.360 --> 0:11:29.439
<v Speaker 1>you're you're trying to communicate with each other. There was

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:34.400
<v Speaker 1>a play the first touchdown for UM Tennessee in this

0:11:34.480 --> 0:11:37.200
<v Speaker 1>last game was really really easy. You know, you see

0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:39.600
<v Speaker 1>a struggle on all these first and gold plays from

0:11:39.600 --> 0:11:41.680
<v Speaker 1>the four and then they just do this really nice

0:11:41.720 --> 0:11:43.680
<v Speaker 1>easy play to the tight end and they're like, well

0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that was off the easy, but well there was a

0:11:45.240 --> 0:11:48.160
<v Speaker 1>breakdown and communication on that and he essentially didn't get

0:11:48.160 --> 0:11:51.760
<v Speaker 1>covered right. So it doesn't really matter what the scheme

0:11:51.840 --> 0:11:56.160
<v Speaker 1>is if they're not getting right. Um, I think it's jammir.

0:11:56.240 --> 0:11:58.960
<v Speaker 1>I hope I'm saying that right. Um said, well, do

0:11:59.000 --> 0:12:01.760
<v Speaker 1>you ever see Ronald Jones is getting more than twenty

0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:04.400
<v Speaker 1>touches in a game? Well, twenties a lot. By the way,

0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:06.760
<v Speaker 1>just so you know, I think Derrick Henry you would

0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:08.880
<v Speaker 1>call him a bell cow back, right, he gets about

0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.719
<v Speaker 1>twenty three touches a game Chris Carson for Seattle. I

0:12:11.760 --> 0:12:13.439
<v Speaker 1>was just looking at his numbers. He gets about twenty

0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:15.880
<v Speaker 1>three touches of game, So twenty touches a game is

0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.920
<v Speaker 1>a primary running back. I don't Ronald Jones isn't close

0:12:18.960 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to twenty touches a game yet, so let's get to

0:12:21.920 --> 0:12:23.920
<v Speaker 1>twenty feet. But yes, I can see him getting I

0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 1>thought there were several carries in the Tennessee game where

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.600
<v Speaker 1>he looked really sharp. The running game never really quite

0:12:29.640 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>got going. I think we ended up with a hundred

0:12:31.280 --> 0:12:33.840
<v Speaker 1>six yards, but fifty three of those were Jamus scrambling.

0:12:34.040 --> 0:12:37.040
<v Speaker 1>But she did a good job, by the way, Um, yes,

0:12:37.160 --> 0:12:40.720
<v Speaker 1>I can see Ronald Jones his share of touches getting higher. Okay.

0:12:41.120 --> 0:12:43.880
<v Speaker 1>Dennis asked, do you see Earl Watford taking over the

0:12:43.920 --> 0:12:45.720
<v Speaker 1>starting position? And then we also had a couple other

0:12:45.760 --> 0:12:48.280
<v Speaker 1>people just ask about the old line overall and how

0:12:48.280 --> 0:12:50.960
<v Speaker 1>we feel like they're playing. Yeah, no, I wouldn't think so,

0:12:51.000 --> 0:12:52.839
<v Speaker 1>because I thought they were pretty happy with Alex Kappa

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:55.680
<v Speaker 1>before he got hurt. So when Alice can return, um,

0:12:55.720 --> 0:12:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I think he'll go right back in there. But it's

0:12:57.559 --> 0:12:59.440
<v Speaker 1>nice to have Rol Watford, who has been solid in

0:12:59.559 --> 0:13:04.800
<v Speaker 1>his in his place. Um. The old line, you know,

0:13:05.040 --> 0:13:08.079
<v Speaker 1>ups and downs. There's been times this year when I

0:13:08.080 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>think they played really well. I wouldn't say we've had

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:13.280
<v Speaker 1>the performance of one of the best lines in the

0:13:13.320 --> 0:13:16.600
<v Speaker 1>league or anything, but it hasn't been a disaster. Yeah. Um.

0:13:16.840 --> 0:13:18.960
<v Speaker 1>We also had a few different people asking about the

0:13:18.960 --> 0:13:21.720
<v Speaker 1>play calling overall, and do you see how much Bruce

0:13:21.800 --> 0:13:24.040
<v Speaker 1>is or isn't involved, And then just overall how the

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>offensive play calling seems to have gone. You know, when

0:13:26.080 --> 0:13:28.440
<v Speaker 1>when Bruce talks about some place that went wrong, and

0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes and all coaches say this, they'll come down to execution.

0:13:32.280 --> 0:13:34.280
<v Speaker 1>You know, there wasn't really necessarily anything wrong with that

0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.160
<v Speaker 1>play call. It is just we didn't execute it very well.

0:13:37.440 --> 0:13:39.520
<v Speaker 1>And then there's a few times when he'll say I

0:13:39.520 --> 0:13:41.800
<v Speaker 1>should have vetoed it. So you know, Byron left, which

0:13:41.840 --> 0:13:44.280
<v Speaker 1>is making the calls, but obviously Bruce is on the helmet,

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:45.599
<v Speaker 1>and you go, yeah, you know, I don't think we

0:13:45.640 --> 0:13:47.720
<v Speaker 1>should do that. And I'm sure the fact that he

0:13:47.760 --> 0:13:50.360
<v Speaker 1>has said on several occasions I probably should have vetoed

0:13:50.400 --> 0:13:53.079
<v Speaker 1>that play means there are times when he vetos plays

0:13:53.200 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>so um he's involved in the offense, but Byron is

0:13:56.280 --> 0:13:59.640
<v Speaker 1>still a play caller. I mean, the offensive output as

0:13:59.640 --> 0:14:01.920
<v Speaker 1>a whole has not been terrible, and I understand there

0:14:01.960 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>are moments like the fourth and one carry that was

0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.000
<v Speaker 1>so critical at the end of the game that we

0:14:06.000 --> 0:14:09.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't get where people are going to second guess play

0:14:09.360 --> 0:14:13.120
<v Speaker 1>calls and you're you're that's what you do as a fan.

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.200
<v Speaker 1>There's nothing wrong with that. That's part of the process.

0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>That's part of the enjoyment. You know, you know that

0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:21.760
<v Speaker 1>guy shouldn't have done that, they should have done this, whatever,

0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's part of being a fan. I get it.

0:14:23.520 --> 0:14:26.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm personally not a huge believer in second guessing play

0:14:26.880 --> 0:14:30.320
<v Speaker 1>calls because I think generally you're doing it because it

0:14:30.400 --> 0:14:34.280
<v Speaker 1>just didn't work. My point would be the opposite of

0:14:34.360 --> 0:14:38.080
<v Speaker 1>that would be saying, oh, that was a terrible play call,

0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:41.480
<v Speaker 1>but it worked. Often do you hear that. You never

0:14:41.560 --> 0:14:44.200
<v Speaker 1>hear that, You only hear the opposite, that was a

0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:48.520
<v Speaker 1>terrible call because it didn't work. Um, you know, I

0:14:48.680 --> 0:14:50.720
<v Speaker 1>don't get me wrong. There there have to be times

0:14:50.720 --> 0:14:53.680
<v Speaker 1>when coaches make bad calls. And maybe that fourth on

0:14:53.720 --> 0:14:55.600
<v Speaker 1>one call was a bad call. I don't know. But

0:14:55.800 --> 0:14:59.000
<v Speaker 1>most of the time it really just it's a play

0:14:59.040 --> 0:15:01.000
<v Speaker 1>that didn't work, so therefore it looks like a bad call.

0:15:01.160 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>And take that fourth in one run. I know how

0:15:03.240 --> 0:15:07.160
<v Speaker 1>I react to it emotionally on the moment. I don't

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:09.160
<v Speaker 1>like it, and I think part of that is because

0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:12.480
<v Speaker 1>it's such a quick thing. Okay, you know this play

0:15:12.520 --> 0:15:14.360
<v Speaker 1>is absolutely critical. If we don't get it, we're losing

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:16.080
<v Speaker 1>the game. You know that. So he's like, we have

0:15:16.240 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 1>to make this play and then it's snap handoff, tackle done,

0:15:20.280 --> 0:15:23.000
<v Speaker 1>and you're like, that's it. If it had been something

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.680
<v Speaker 1>like Jamis rolls out, he's got two levels, he's maybe

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:29.560
<v Speaker 1>he can run for it. Then as the play is developing,

0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.960
<v Speaker 1>you're thinking, well, if something breaks down, maybe something else

0:15:32.960 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>can happen. But that play could blow up to it

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:38.200
<v Speaker 1>took a little bit longer, and now you're thinking, maybe

0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:41.000
<v Speaker 1>we had a shot. But all comes down to that

0:15:41.040 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>fourth and according to Bruce, the fourth and one play

0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:48.400
<v Speaker 1>didn't work because there was miss block on the back side. Okay, well,

0:15:48.440 --> 0:15:49.760
<v Speaker 1>if you do that roll up play I was just

0:15:49.760 --> 0:15:52.560
<v Speaker 1>talking about, it could not work because the Titan was

0:15:52.560 --> 0:15:54.760
<v Speaker 1>supposed to release in this direction and he went too

0:15:54.800 --> 0:15:57.440
<v Speaker 1>deep or something. You know what I'm saying. But I

0:15:57.520 --> 0:16:00.680
<v Speaker 1>understand because it just happened so fast and then it's

0:16:00.720 --> 0:16:02.960
<v Speaker 1>over and you're like, well, we had to have that

0:16:03.000 --> 0:16:06.400
<v Speaker 1>and we ran straight into the line and nothing happened. Yeah, understandable. Yea,

0:16:06.440 --> 0:16:07.600
<v Speaker 1>all right, Well that's gonna do it for us. In

0:16:07.600 --> 0:16:10.080
<v Speaker 1>this edition of Buccaneers and Satura I presented by Miller Lyte.

0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Thanks so much for being with us, and we'll see

0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:12.400
<v Speaker 1>you back here next week.
