And again, this 0:00:21.720 --> 0:00:23.000 is the time of year that we really love taking 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:25.200 all these questions because it's all these big picture things 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.240 that it's all the looking ahead of the season and 0:00:27.240 --> 0:00:29.000 looking at the different position groups and how it all 0:00:29.040 --> 0:00:32.440 could shake out. Of course we know everything. I'll take 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:36.720 that next week. That's true. This week. It's a very 0:00:36.760 --> 0:00:40.040 good point. So yeah, don't wait because them is shutting 0:00:40.080 --> 0:00:43.199 down next week. That's it. And uh we are included. 0:00:43.240 --> 0:00:45.519 We're I'm I'm taking off a little vacation before the 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:48.080 season starts. Yeah, I'm going up. I'm going on a cruise. 0:00:48.080 --> 0:00:50.480 It's gonna create. So yeah, I'm pretty excited about it. See, 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:51.960 I get all those questions, and this is your chance 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:55.200 breaks down. Yeah, I would like for that to not 0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.280 happen either, And now if it happens, it is your fault, 0:00:57.320 --> 0:00:59.680 So thank you for that. I appreciate that. So as 0:00:59.720 --> 0:01:02.080 we get started here, UM, a lot of we did 0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:05.000 release the training camp dates, and I just always love 0:01:05.040 --> 0:01:08.040 hearing what you are most excited to see during training camp. 0:01:08.080 --> 0:01:09.400 I know you and I've talked about how much we 0:01:09.440 --> 0:01:11.240 love one on ones where there's to be O line 0:01:11.240 --> 0:01:13.600 and D line one on ones, the wide receiver corner 0:01:13.640 --> 0:01:15.480 one on ones. Are those still the things that you 0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:17.960 most look forward to? Yeah, And I would say my 0:01:18.000 --> 0:01:22.560 favorite drill is the wide receiver defensive back one on ones, um, 0:01:22.680 --> 0:01:25.520 And you know it favors the offense. Obviously there's no 0:01:25.560 --> 0:01:28.560 pass rush or anything. The quarterback is completely unmolested, he 0:01:28.680 --> 0:01:30.880 is throwing. But still some when the defense does really well, 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:33.959 that says a lot. Um. Did you want to talk 0:01:33.959 --> 0:01:35.840 about this training campra, Yeah, I wanted to hear this 0:01:35.840 --> 0:01:37.400 training camp for you, the big things you're going to 0:01:37.440 --> 0:01:39.959 be watching well to play off of that, Um, you know, 0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:43.440 we have three really good grass fields here. They're like 0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:45.720 rated the best and best practice fields in the league. 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:48.120 And in previous camps here at one Buck we've been 0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:50.760 here since two thousand nine, and previous camps there was 0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:53.080 bleachers were kind of next to the field over here, 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:56.560 there's bleachers around one long end on one field field one, 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:58.840 and then at the back of it, and that was 0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:00.840 pretty much where you had to be if you're gonna 0:02:00.880 --> 0:02:02.280 watch it. So if there was a drill you light 0:02:02.280 --> 0:02:04.360 going on in the field two or even field three, 0:02:04.840 --> 0:02:06.960 you really can get a really up close to look 0:02:07.000 --> 0:02:08.520 at it. Sometimes we may not see much of it 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:11.079 at all. Now there's not gonna be bleachers, and we'll 0:02:11.160 --> 0:02:12.919 get to that in a moment, but you're gonna be 0:02:12.960 --> 0:02:16.080 allowed to go around the entire perimeter of the three fields, 0:02:16.080 --> 0:02:17.720 so you should be able to get close to whatever 0:02:17.840 --> 0:02:19.839 drill you want to see. Yeah, that's a great point. 0:02:20.000 --> 0:02:21.960 If the wide receiver dbs are going on in field 0:02:21.960 --> 0:02:23.560 two and that you like that that as much as 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:25.359 I do, just go run the back and get a 0:02:25.400 --> 0:02:26.959 better look at it. That's a great point because based 0:02:26.960 --> 0:02:28.280 on where some of the bleachers were, if they were 0:02:28.280 --> 0:02:31.200 doing things three fields away, it's it's very challenging to 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.239 see and and you know, it's kind of a challenge 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.959 for our for our grounds guys too, they're very very good. 0:02:36.280 --> 0:02:38.600 But because we wanted to give the fans as much 0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:41.320 of a close look as we could, we spent most 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.560 of our time, especially in team drills on that one field, 0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:45.440 and so trying to keep that field in good shape 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.000 while the others weren't getting much use was tougher. But 0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.280 that should be easier now. But the reason there's not 0:02:50.280 --> 0:02:52.920 gonna be bleachers is because we already have bleachers in 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.400 the indoor facility, which the Bucks are gonna be able 0:02:55.440 --> 0:02:57.079 to use for the first time in training camp that 0:02:57.160 --> 0:02:59.160 just started using it last fall in the middle of 0:02:59.200 --> 0:03:02.880 the season. In some parts of the open practices are 0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:04.280 going to be like the second half of them are 0:03:04.280 --> 0:03:07.480 going to be in the endoor facility and there's bleachers 0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.840 and best of all, air conditioning and cover. So, you know, 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.200 the toughest thing about training camp in the reason you know, 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:14.760 cheerleaders are coming around with freezy pops because it's so hot, 0:03:15.200 --> 0:03:16.880 and one thing you do to avoid that is to 0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:20.040 have practice early in the morning. And then we are 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:23.000 doing that again, so every effort is being made for 0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:25.320 when the fans do come out here that's as comfortable 0:03:25.360 --> 0:03:27.880 as possible. Right, Yeah, that's a really great point. I 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.920 already know I'm going to butcher this name of the 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.480 person who asked this question, so I'm very sorry. Um, 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:36.400 it looks like guiche friends Si French. Uh. So he 0:03:36.440 --> 0:03:38.000 wants to know who you think is going to start 0:03:38.080 --> 0:03:40.480 at defensive end this year. I think you'll probably see 0:03:40.680 --> 0:03:43.360 Jason Pierre Paul at left end, which is where he's 0:03:43.400 --> 0:03:46.200 most used to playing. And I think you'll probably see 0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:50.480 Vinny Curry starting at right end um and then there'll 0:03:50.520 --> 0:03:52.560 be a lot of rotation from there, and and maybe 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:55.880 Curry sometimes goes inside. Will Golston might be in in 0:03:56.000 --> 0:03:59.200 some first downs if it's you know, if it's we 0:03:59.240 --> 0:04:02.200 think it's a run stopping situation. He's he at least 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:04.800 in two thousands sixteen he was our best run stopping 0:04:04.800 --> 0:04:07.360 defensive end, and he didn't have quite the same year 0:04:07.440 --> 0:04:09.480 last year, but it really seems he's trimmed down some 0:04:09.640 --> 0:04:11.680 and he really seems motivated to get back to his 0:04:11.960 --> 0:04:14.640 two thousand sixteen form, so he'd be in the rotation too. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:17.120 And you got Noah Spence to be a designated pass 0:04:17.160 --> 0:04:19.680 rusher kind of guy, so there'll be a lot of rotation. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:22.120 But I think your starters were probably Curry and JPP. 0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:24.880 And speaking of the defensive line, Stephen wants to know 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.400 what will Noah Spence's role look like with the new 0:04:27.440 --> 0:04:29.520 additions to the line and the fact that he seems 0:04:29.560 --> 0:04:31.240 to not only be healthy but added a little bit 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:33.719 of bulk to him. Well, that is a great question, 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:37.440 really well informed and thorough, really good question about Noah Spence. 0:04:37.480 --> 0:04:40.359 And obviously Stephen has been reading up and knows that 0:04:40.400 --> 0:04:43.320 Noah Spence has put on weight, you know when he 0:04:43.480 --> 0:04:45.320 when we got him, and you get these numbers from 0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:47.320 their college numbers, so they're not necessarily a percent accurate, 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.040 but he was listed as two or fifty one pounds, 0:04:49.200 --> 0:04:51.040 but last year in training camp he got all the 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.560 way down to like two thirty two, and that's that 0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:55.680 was just too light for him to be able to 0:04:55.720 --> 0:04:58.359 hand up stand up to the rigors of again, especially 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.839 this bigger offensive tackles. He used those this whole offseason 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:04.240 after getting healthy during the season because he was shut 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:06.080 down pretty early with the shoulder. He had a special 0:05:06.080 --> 0:05:08.640 procedure with the shoulder, and it's kind of hard to explain, 0:05:08.680 --> 0:05:10.599 but it's supposed to it took one piece of bone 0:05:10.600 --> 0:05:12.640 from somewhere and put it somewhere else. I'm supposed to 0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:16.400 prevent those sublixations or dislocations. And so hopefully if he 0:05:16.400 --> 0:05:19.960 can avoid that. Uh, he won't be missing time because 0:05:20.000 --> 0:05:21.760 of that, and he'll also be able to stand hold 0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.159 up a little bit better. And he also in the 0:05:24.160 --> 0:05:27.680 process of recovering from that, really took to sort of 0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:29.480 resculpting himself a little bit. And he's up to two 0:05:29.680 --> 0:05:32.400 or fifty seven pounds as of the last practice, and 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:33.919 he is you know, you can look at him and 0:05:33.960 --> 0:05:36.120 see he's just jumped up right, and he didn't put it. 0:05:36.240 --> 0:05:39.800 He put on a muscle. So he's he's a bigger guy, 0:05:39.800 --> 0:05:41.960 but but not so much bigger that he's gonna lose 0:05:42.000 --> 0:05:44.760 his speed and his quickness, and so he thinks that 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.440 he's gonna have a better chance and standing up against 0:05:47.720 --> 0:05:51.840 the bigger offensive tackles. And you know, I think he's 0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.200 going to be a situational pass rusher. I think that's 0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.840 his main goal. I mean, his main role. But you 0:05:56.839 --> 0:05:58.719 can put a guy in there thinking it's a pass 0:05:58.839 --> 0:06:01.680 rush down and then not throw. They may run. So 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.120 he's still going to have to stop the run. Even 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.520 if he's considered more of a pass rusher, he's gonna 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:07.960 have to stop the run at times and being able 0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:09.360 to hold up, which he thinks he's gonna be able 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:10.800 to do. Is gonna be really good for him. So 0:06:11.040 --> 0:06:12.920 hopefully that will give him just more opportunity to be 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:14.400 on the field, because if he is one of your 0:06:14.440 --> 0:06:16.479 better pass rushers, you're gonna want him out there as 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:20.760 much as possible in passing situation. Right, Yeah, that's very true. Question. Yeah, 0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:22.120 it's a great question, And you know, we've had a 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:25.200 lot of questions um about Jamis on here and some 0:06:25.200 --> 0:06:26.359 of the rumors that have been out there, but we 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:28.120 really just I'll just go and sum it all up 0:06:28.120 --> 0:06:29.719 before I ask that. You know, the league has not 0:06:29.760 --> 0:06:32.480 released anything and so we don't really have any information 0:06:32.839 --> 0:06:34.520 on that at this time, so I'll just kind of 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.160 save everybody a little bit of time that I've seen 0:06:36.200 --> 0:06:38.120 a lot of different questions and thoughts about it, but 0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.600 we unfortunately can't answer anything about that that thing has 0:06:40.640 --> 0:06:43.120 been released by the league yet. Uh So, now going 0:06:43.120 --> 0:06:44.800 on to our next question, Randy wants to know are 0:06:44.800 --> 0:06:48.320 we going to incorporate more plays utilizing our number one 0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.720 tight end tandem in the league, Which, first of all, 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:52.920 we can already have you assessed whether or not this 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.960 is you would agree the whole number one tight end 0:06:54.960 --> 0:06:58.280 tandem in this league. You know, if you break down 0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:00.200 the numbers and you and you look at what the 0:07:00.200 --> 0:07:04.080 tight end position as a whole, uh accomplished for the 0:07:04.080 --> 0:07:05.920 Buccaneers last year. They're up there in the top three 0:07:06.000 --> 0:07:09.640 or four tight end positions in terms of catches, yards, touchdowns. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.400 And the fact that both those I think it's the 0:07:11.440 --> 0:07:13.680 only duo of tight ends in the league on any 0:07:13.680 --> 0:07:15.680 team where they both got at least six touchdowns. So 0:07:15.800 --> 0:07:18.040 if you want to massage the numbers the right way, 0:07:18.040 --> 0:07:20.080 you can probably make that claim. And I also think 0:07:20.640 --> 0:07:23.160 that there's a lot of room for improvement for both guys. 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:25.000 They can get, they can do a lot more, So 0:07:25.120 --> 0:07:27.080 I wouldn't argue with it. I don't know if it's 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:29.320 a hundred percent true the best one in the league. Uh. 0:07:29.360 --> 0:07:30.960 And I've talked about that so much that I forgot 0:07:31.000 --> 0:07:33.200 what the actual question is. Oh, just if they're going 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.280 to be more plays geared towards them? Yeah, you know, 0:07:36.320 --> 0:07:38.240 you're part of the offense. I think so. And I 0:07:38.280 --> 0:07:41.760 think that's because I think their cutter likes using that 0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:46.920 too tight information, which is called eleven eleven. I believe 0:07:46.920 --> 0:07:48.920 that's eleven because you count the receivers and running backs, 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:51.080 and so that'd be one running back, one receiver. I 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:55.280 mean two receivers. I've lost it. It's either eleven I 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.000 think it's eleven personnel, or maybe it's twenty one whatever. 0:07:58.040 --> 0:08:00.400 I'm gonna have to look that up. But the point 0:08:00.440 --> 0:08:03.720 is you've got two tight ends and ideally they're both 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:06.000 threats to catch passes, which both those guys are, and 0:08:06.080 --> 0:08:08.560 ideally they both can block. So as defense, when you're 0:08:08.560 --> 0:08:10.960 faced with that, it's not an easy read on. Okay, 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:13.000 well that guy's in and he always blocks, so I 0:08:13.040 --> 0:08:14.680 don't have to worry about covering him going out on 0:08:14.800 --> 0:08:17.800 or route. Uh you wanna you want to offer them 0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:21.760 a lot of uncertainty, right. The problem was last year 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:25.080 the Bucks didn't run the ball well at all out 0:08:25.080 --> 0:08:26.600 of the two tight ends set. I did a big 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:28.880 study of that. There's an article on buccaneers dot com 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:32.199 about it's some months ago, um and just the numbers 0:08:32.200 --> 0:08:35.200 weren't there. The passing numbers out of that set were good. 0:08:35.200 --> 0:08:37.720 They were better than our our numbers on other sets, 0:08:37.720 --> 0:08:40.560 So above average results in the passing game with two 0:08:40.600 --> 0:08:44.800 tight ends, which isn't always Cameron Brake and and O. J. Howard, 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.440 but usually right, and our passing numbers out of that 0:08:47.480 --> 0:08:50.200 were good. Are rushing totals yards per carry out of 0:08:50.200 --> 0:08:54.600 that were far below other sets. So those guys and that. 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.760 That doesn't mean it's all on those two guys obviously, 0:08:56.880 --> 0:08:59.079 but uh, we're gonna have to get better results in 0:08:59.080 --> 0:09:02.440 the running game in order to put that formation on 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:04.720 the field more often. But I think we would like to. 0:09:05.240 --> 0:09:07.520 We did it trying to remember the exact number. It 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.079 was a while going whenever wrote the article, but maybe 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:12.040 of the plays we were in that and that's right 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:14.720 around LEA average, and I think they would probably prefer 0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.120 to be a lovely le average, especially because you also 0:09:18.160 --> 0:09:21.680 have Antonio Claire who's a player with a lat of promise, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:23.640 and you have Alan Cross and we've got a couple 0:09:23.679 --> 0:09:25.800 of rookie Titans that we kind of like, at least 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:28.080 in the early going. So you may have three or 0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:30.319 four Titans that you like and a number of different 0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.680 two tightening combinations. So I know that person was talking 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:35.360 about O J and CAM, but um, it could be 0:09:35.400 --> 0:09:37.360 other groups and I think they would like to use 0:09:37.400 --> 0:09:39.439 it more. So my my answer to the question, we yes, 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.400 I think we will see more of that, but that's 0:09:41.400 --> 0:09:43.640 gonna be contingent on running better out of that formation. 0:09:43.720 --> 0:09:48.040 Our next question says, who is going to start at safety? 0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:51.400 I mean, are we gonna answer this every single week? Probably? Okay, 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:55.880 I should just write down an answering prepared. Uh. Well, 0:09:55.920 --> 0:09:58.840 I think you're your surest bed is Justin Evans because 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:01.200 last year we started in basically a four man competition 0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:03.560 for two spots right, and it was kind of a 0:10:03.559 --> 0:10:06.120 lot of rotation the first few games, but then Justin 0:10:06.160 --> 0:10:09.160 Evans clearly became an every down player and a starter 0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:11.560 for what the last twelve or thirteen games of the season. 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.440 And he's only in the second year. He had a 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.800 good first year type for the team leading interceptions. You 0:10:15.840 --> 0:10:18.440 were talking one time about how acrobatic he is with 0:10:18.520 --> 0:10:21.040 his interception. He's got very good hands and body control 0:10:21.320 --> 0:10:23.720 when when making a play on the ball. I would 0:10:23.720 --> 0:10:25.640 think he's the favorite to have at least one of them, 0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:28.120 and then until he's unseated. I think he got stick 0:10:28.160 --> 0:10:30.800 with Chris Conti, you know, I think he's I think 0:10:30.880 --> 0:10:33.240 he's a pretty good player and he's gonna have to 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:35.480 be beaten, you know, for further to be a change. 0:10:35.520 --> 0:10:37.679 But they like that Jordan white had a lot, Uh, 0:10:37.760 --> 0:10:39.800 he was limited a little bit by injuries in the 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.000 off seasons and program, so we're gonna have to wait 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:44.040 to camp to see how quickly he comes along. And 0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:46.840 then you've always got Keith Tandy, who we feel so 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:48.480 confident in, and he was a little bit limited by 0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.600 injuries last year, which is why didn't play as much 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.800 on defense, but still helped out a lot on special teams. Um, 0:10:53.880 --> 0:10:55.960 they I know, they feel very very confident him if 0:10:56.000 --> 0:10:58.000 he has to be on the field, but I would 0:10:58.000 --> 0:10:59.959 say the default for the start of the season is 0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:03.160 probably the incumbents, Justin Emmons and Chris County. Okay, we 0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:06.000 also had um I think his name is Mirror wants 0:11:06.040 --> 0:11:09.120 to know how are the rookie secondary players coming along. So, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:10.640 you know, we just heard about m. J. Stewart a 0:11:10.679 --> 0:11:13.360 little bit, but now throwing just talked about Jordan Whitehead 0:11:14.440 --> 0:11:16.920 and then also m m J. Stewart missed some time 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:18.920 too with a minor injury, although he's back I think 0:11:18.960 --> 0:11:21.400 by the end of the mini camps, so he should 0:11:21.400 --> 0:11:23.520 be fine for training camp. The one guy that really 0:11:23.520 --> 0:11:26.600 has stood out the most out of those is Carlton Davis, 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.160 the second of the two corners that we've picked in 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:32.520 the second round, and he uh, he you know, we 0:11:32.559 --> 0:11:34.800 like him. We liked him in the draft for one thing, 0:11:34.840 --> 0:11:36.959 because he was a bigger corner and there aren't a 0:11:37.000 --> 0:11:38.319 lot of those, and there certainly aren't a lot of 0:11:38.360 --> 0:11:40.040 those in our rostery. When when the corners are out 0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:42.760 there doing their individual drills, is very very obvious which 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:46.000 guy Carlton Davis is without seeing his number, even because 0:11:46.000 --> 0:11:48.320 he's just he's clearly the biggest guy, and they want 0:11:48.559 --> 0:11:50.440 they want to have that option to match up against 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:54.640 bigger receivers, especially if we play some more press than 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:58.680 we have in the past. So, um, he's looked really 0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:00.360 really good at the other two. I think we really 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:02.320 just haven't hand enough of a look at him yet. Okay, 0:12:02.760 --> 0:12:04.480 I like this question. Jason wants to know how many 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.240 wide receivers do you think will make the fifty three 0:12:06.240 --> 0:12:08.360 man roster. And that's a good question, and it really 0:12:08.920 --> 0:12:11.240 it really comes down to a given take between other positions. 0:12:11.240 --> 0:12:14.080 So you've got you know, I think the default number 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.920 they would normally like to go with is five. Like 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:17.199 I bet you they write up on the board. I 0:12:17.240 --> 0:12:19.319 think they do. They write up on the board, you 0:12:19.360 --> 0:12:21.520 know each position and a number next to it, and 0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.160 have it add up to fifty three. And they'd like 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:25.480 to keep five receivers and four backs and four tight 0:12:25.520 --> 0:12:27.959 ends something like that. But sometimes you just don't want 0:12:27.960 --> 0:12:30.000 to let you got six, You got six receivers that 0:12:30.000 --> 0:12:32.000 you don't want to let go, and you go, well, okay, 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:36.160 we'll keep one fewer tight end or one fewer running back, 0:12:36.240 --> 0:12:39.200 something like that. I would say it's got to be 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:41.040 at least five, and it would not surprise me as 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:44.319 six because it seems pretty certain that you'd have Mike Evans, 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:46.760 DeShawn Jackson, and I'm Humphries, Chris Godwin, and then you 0:12:46.880 --> 0:12:49.480 just drafted that Justin Watson, guy who who looks like 0:12:49.559 --> 0:12:51.920 he could be something pretty good right as he develops, 0:12:51.920 --> 0:12:53.920 and you're not gonna let him go. So that's five 0:12:54.040 --> 0:12:56.600 right there. And we haven't even talked about Freddy Martino, 0:12:56.760 --> 0:12:59.240 Bernard Ready. I'm sure there's a couple others I'm not 0:12:59.280 --> 0:13:02.280 even thinking of right out. So um, I think if 0:13:02.320 --> 0:13:04.600 you're if our bettman, I say, six guys make it, 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:07.400 especially if one of those other receivers is either a 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.000 special team stud on coverage and stuff, like that like 0:13:10.000 --> 0:13:12.400 Freddie Martin Wiz or a potential option in the return 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.240 game like a Bernardo Right Um and and related to 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:16.960 the discussion of how many of them are gonna on 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:18.640 the team, Tim wanted to know how often you think 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.480 we'll see a combination of Mike Evans, Chris Godwin into 0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:23.680 Seawan Jackson all on the field at the same time. 0:13:24.280 --> 0:13:25.800 I think they'll see more of it than you did 0:13:25.880 --> 0:13:27.880 last year. I think Godwin got a lot of his 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:30.880 snaps when either de Shaun or Chris needed needed to 0:13:30.960 --> 0:13:33.240 arrest or was out injured, and so you didn't have 0:13:33.280 --> 0:13:35.400 as much of that right with all three of those 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:38.400 guys together, because if you have to Shawn and and 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.520 Mike on the field, are used the outside guys, your 0:13:40.640 --> 0:13:42.800 your ex and your Y and you're you know, your 0:13:42.800 --> 0:13:45.040 extra and your Z and your slack. Eye was usually 0:13:45.040 --> 0:13:46.520 Adam Humphreys because he was very good in that role. 0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:49.760 It still is, so Um, that would mean Adam Humphries 0:13:50.040 --> 0:13:51.800 is probably I mean, there's some four receiver sets, but 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:54.960 I think we're talking about the very common three receiver sets. Um, 0:13:55.640 --> 0:13:57.760 Adam Humphreys would be off the field for that, and 0:13:58.240 --> 0:13:59.920 that means one of one of those other guys is 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:02.040 in the slot, and I think there will be a 0:14:02.040 --> 0:14:04.079 little more variety this year, and who who plays in 0:14:04.120 --> 0:14:06.200 the slot like DeShawn might play some more in the slot. 0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.840 You might even put Mike Commins in the slot because 0:14:07.840 --> 0:14:10.000 your goal is always to find him some open space 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.000 and less double teams and so on, so if you 0:14:12.040 --> 0:14:13.960 can sort of surprise teams with where those guys are, 0:14:14.160 --> 0:14:16.440 so I think and Chris Gowin could plain this slot, 0:14:16.440 --> 0:14:18.720 but I think he's probably best on the outside. So 0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:22.600 I think that's gonna depend on how um versatile the 0:14:22.640 --> 0:14:24.640 packages with who plays in the slot. But yes, I 0:14:24.640 --> 0:14:26.000 do think we'll see more of that. That That all right, 0:14:26.040 --> 0:14:27.720 And then we'll close out with this one. Who do 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.440 you think is going to start at guard? And I 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:32.480 think they mean that right guard, because I don't left guard. 0:14:32.800 --> 0:14:34.880 To me, the favorite is Caleb ben Enock, And I'm 0:14:34.920 --> 0:14:38.280 not discounting jarr Sweezy was essentially the incumbent, but he 0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:40.480 just he's not on the field yet, so until he is, 0:14:40.520 --> 0:14:42.480 he's really not part of the equation. We all wish 0:14:42.720 --> 0:14:44.560 he would get better and be able to play and 0:14:44.600 --> 0:14:47.320 be part of the competition, but uh, they seem to 0:14:47.360 --> 0:14:49.680 just take a lot of the coaches take a lot 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:51.880 of opportunities to kind of slip nice things in about 0:14:51.920 --> 0:14:53.880 Caleb bin Knock on how much he's progressed. I think 0:14:53.920 --> 0:14:56.040 they feel pretty good about him. He's going into his 0:14:56.080 --> 0:14:59.000 third season, former fifth round pick, very virtual guy started 0:14:59.000 --> 0:15:01.040 at right tackle the end a lot next year. Um, 0:15:01.080 --> 0:15:03.000 but when you've seen him taking first team reps, that's 0:15:03.040 --> 0:15:06.440 usually cale about here for now. You you will probably 0:15:06.440 --> 0:15:08.840 would probably bring up Alex Kappa. And I know I've 0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:11.040 seen some stuff you've written about him, and I've heard 0:15:11.040 --> 0:15:13.440 you talk about him, and he does have a nice 0:15:13.880 --> 0:15:16.240 a lot of potential and good attitude, you know, that 0:15:16.360 --> 0:15:18.800 same sort of nasty attitude that they want Ryan Jensen. 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.360 But I think the guy who's been here for two 0:15:21.440 --> 0:15:23.120 years probably as the leg up in the rookie I 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:24.720 would agree with that. All right, Well, that's gonna do 0:15:24.760 --> 0:15:26.560 it for us here on Buccaneers Inside a Live presented 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:28.400 by Miller Lyte. Thanks so much for joining us and 0:15:28.440 --> 0:15:31.240 for all your questions. Have a fun and save July fourth, 0:15:31.280 --> 0:15:33.280 and we'll see you back here after the holiday. And oh, 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:34.920 actually you know it, right before we close out here, 0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.560 I almost didn't do it. Our intern, Logan, who has 0:15:37.600 --> 0:15:41.040 been faithfully manning the camera this whole last few months here. 0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:42.760 This is his last week, is there last time with 0:15:42.800 --> 0:15:44.440 her intern. I'm gonna make him stand out in front 0:15:44.440 --> 0:15:46.560 of the camera and he's gonna hate me for said, 0:15:46.880 --> 0:15:49.120 look at come on, you gotta just come come over here. 0:15:49.120 --> 0:15:51.320 It's yeah, it's part of your internship to come around 0:15:51.440 --> 0:15:54.400 and wave at everyone and say hi. Oh there we go. 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.000 There's Logan. Hi. Mom right.
