WEBVTT - How Will the Bucs Contain Tyreek Hill? | Bucs Insider 0:00:04.880 --> 0:00:08.360 Good morning, Bucks fans. How's everyone doing, Casey Phillips here 0:00:08.360 --> 0:00:10.159 have a senior writer and editor, Scott Smith. It is 0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:13.560 time for another Buccketeers Insider Live presented by Miller Lte. 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:16.520 And I know you probably have tons of commons, thoughts, questions, 0:00:16.560 --> 0:00:18.400 all those things. We did the show yesterday and I 0:00:18.480 --> 0:00:20.520 know I did not get to nearly all of them, 0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:22.759 but we're doing it again today and again tomorrow, and 0:00:22.760 --> 0:00:24.920 then we'll also do it next week Wednesday, Thursday, Fridays. 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:26.759 There's plenty of time for you guys to get all 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.920 of your thoughts, comments and questions into us. So if 0:00:28.920 --> 0:00:31.160 you're not already watching on Facebook, head on over there, 0:00:31.200 --> 0:00:33.520 and underneath our live video is where you can leave 0:00:33.560 --> 0:00:36.599 those while we give people a chance to start submitting 0:00:36.600 --> 0:00:38.640 some of those. I know there was an injury report 0:00:38.640 --> 0:00:40.000 that came out yesterday and that's where I'm sure a 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:41.519 lot of the questions are going to be about, is 0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.240 the injuries. But it's not quite a normal injury report. 0:00:45.320 --> 0:00:47.600 So phillis in a little bit on what was the 0:00:47.640 --> 0:00:50.080 difference in it and what we could learn from it. Yeah, 0:00:50.080 --> 0:00:51.680 the whole thing is a little bit strange because you 0:00:51.720 --> 0:00:54.160 do an injury report this week as if you have 0:00:54.200 --> 0:00:57.640 a game on Sunday, uh, even though we don't. Uh. 0:00:57.720 --> 0:00:59.440 I mean, it's nice to get the information, to be 0:00:59.440 --> 0:01:01.560 honest with you, it even on Friday, when we get 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.280 the Friday the bole teams are gonna put out a 0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:05.760 report as if there really was a game on Sunday, 0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:09.160 complete with game status designation. So if you had a 0:01:09.160 --> 0:01:12.440 guy this Friday that you didn't think could play this Sunday, 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:15.560 you'll rule him as out or maybe doubtful or questionable, 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:17.440 and there probably will be a few of those on 0:01:17.480 --> 0:01:19.959 our injury reports. So it's important for fans to realize 0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.600 not to panic with what they see on Friday, because 0:01:22.920 --> 0:01:26.000 that that refers to this Sunday. Next week we'll get 0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:28.720 a whole new injury report and that Friday will get 0:01:28.760 --> 0:01:30.880 the real designations for the Super Bowl. So I would 0:01:30.880 --> 0:01:33.480 expect you might see a couple outs are doubtful as 0:01:33.520 --> 0:01:37.360 there were five guys that we're not practicing or actually 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:39.880 the Bucks didn't even practice Wednesday, but neither did the Chiefs, 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.199 but they had to put out an injury report based 0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:45.039 on estimations of what they would have done in practice. 0:01:45.120 --> 0:01:48.080 So five guys the Bucks would have held out, including 0:01:48.240 --> 0:01:52.040 both safeties Antoine Winfield and Jordan Whitehead and Antonio Brown. 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.520 Jasa Pierre Paul has pretty much been held out practice 0:01:54.520 --> 0:01:56.040 for weeks now, but it's still getting it done on 0:01:56.080 --> 0:01:58.040 game days. And then the one that popped up that 0:01:58.120 --> 0:01:59.840 was a little bit of something to keep an eye 0:01:59.840 --> 0:02:02.600 on is Lavante David, who apparently has a hamstring ailment, 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.440 and he would not have practiced yesterday if the Bucks 0:02:05.440 --> 0:02:08.440 had practiced. So I'm glad we have this extra week. Yes, 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:10.640 I think that is a very safe statement. I'm like, Nope, 0:02:10.680 --> 0:02:13.799 that's not allowed. We're not okay, not acceptable. We're gonna 0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.360 have to fix that. Um. And speaking of the injuries, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:18.400 I guess, Quamaine, I think it's how you say it. 0:02:18.440 --> 0:02:20.639 Wanted to know, would you guess that A B will 0:02:20.680 --> 0:02:22.800 be able to play in the next game. I'm really 0:02:23.600 --> 0:02:26.720 I'm really always leary of making these guesses on in guys, 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:28.440 partly because I feel like I have a really bad 0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:31.839 track record on it, and so, um, I would think 0:02:31.840 --> 0:02:34.200 so on all those guys, on on Jordan white Down, 0:02:34.240 --> 0:02:37.000 on anto Winfield, and on Antonio Brown. We talked about 0:02:37.000 --> 0:02:39.320 this a little bit yesterday. I think the fact that 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:42.720 they were calling Antonio Brown game day decision all last 0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:44.720 week before deciding not to take him on the trip 0:02:44.760 --> 0:02:47.040 because they didn't think he was close enough and his 0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:49.639 his knee might swell on the plane flights. So if 0:02:49.800 --> 0:02:51.560 if they if they were thinking it was a possibility 0:02:51.639 --> 0:02:54.400 last week, it's certainly logically seems to me like it 0:02:54.400 --> 0:02:56.760 would be a much better possibility two weeks later. So 0:02:56.960 --> 0:02:59.160 we'll have to wait and see. But I would be 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.880 cautiously I domistic, Yes, I think that's a good way 0:03:01.880 --> 0:03:03.680 of hedge in your bets on that. That's a that's 0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:05.800 a good answer for sure. Um, And we had a 0:03:05.800 --> 0:03:08.640 few questions about the uniforms will be wearing, of what 0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:10.920 they are and why that choice got made or how 0:03:10.960 --> 0:03:14.280 that choice got made. So the Bucks did announce that yesterday. Yeah, 0:03:14.280 --> 0:03:16.960 white jerseys and Peter pants and and maybe I know 0:03:17.000 --> 0:03:18.800 we went red in the Super Bowl last time. And 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:21.520 because the Bucks are technically the home team, it's the 0:03:21.600 --> 0:03:23.919 NFC's year, they get to choose first, and then the 0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:27.200 other team has to basically where the opposite. Um, I 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:30.040 think they're just doing it because it's been going well 0:03:30.080 --> 0:03:32.079 in that in that combination. I think I don't think 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:34.400 we've lost in that combination this year. So it's a 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:36.520 little bit of a superstitious thing, it seems like, but 0:03:37.000 --> 0:03:38.960 you know, I like it. It's a good look. Yeah, 0:03:38.960 --> 0:03:41.760 it seems like a lot of people were being superstitious 0:03:41.800 --> 0:03:44.120 based on what they wore in the other Super Bowl. 0:03:44.400 --> 0:03:46.720 I could see that, but that is a different team 0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.960 and maybe winning in these jerseys. I think that that 0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:52.839 maybe Brady likes throwing a white jerseys. I don't know, Yes, 0:03:52.960 --> 0:03:55.960 that is that is also true. Um. We also had 0:03:55.960 --> 0:03:59.640 a question about if the practices are going to be 0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:04.200 different than normal right now of are they going harder 0:04:04.200 --> 0:04:06.160 because you have two weeks out? Are you going less 0:04:06.200 --> 0:04:08.280 because it's already you want to just keep everybody healthy. 0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.360 What what do practices look like these weeks compared to normal. Well, 0:04:11.400 --> 0:04:13.720 we'll start finding out today. The first one starts in 0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:17.760 about an hour. UM. I would guess though that they 0:04:17.760 --> 0:04:19.680 would be a little bit light this week. There's just 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:23.080 no reason to push these guys real hard. And honestly, 0:04:23.600 --> 0:04:25.480 that's not even necessarily a Super Bowl thing. That's a 0:04:25.560 --> 0:04:27.440 late in the season kind of thing as you you 0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:29.960 see every year, and it really doesn't matter for teams 0:04:29.960 --> 0:04:32.920 in contention or not. Later in the season, you see 0:04:32.920 --> 0:04:36.000 a lot more walkthroughs, um, just because the guys are 0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:39.560 beat up and there you know their their bodies are tired, fatigued, 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.680 you know, so it makes sense not to run them 0:04:41.720 --> 0:04:44.920 too hard. I would suspect it won't be real strenuous 0:04:44.920 --> 0:04:49.000 practices this week, okay. Um, and we had Daniel ask 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.919 is Rojoe's injury still lingering at all or is he 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:54.320 completely healthy? I would have to say it's not lingering 0:04:54.360 --> 0:04:58.120 because he is not on the injury report. Um. Yes, 0:04:58.160 --> 0:04:59.679 I would agree with that. And I think some people 0:04:59.680 --> 0:05:01.800 were asked because the fact his carries have not been 0:05:01.880 --> 0:05:04.400 quite as high recently. But um, you know, and I 0:05:04.400 --> 0:05:07.520 think maybe the injury could have been something. They're still 0:05:07.560 --> 0:05:09.240 but it seems like also it's just the way foreign 0:05:09.240 --> 0:05:11.679 Net's been playing well and he's still got ten carries 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:13.400 in that Green Bay game, which really was I don't 0:05:13.440 --> 0:05:15.840 remember Leonard's exact total, but it wasn't that much lower 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.360 than Leonard's. Um, it just happened to be in the 0:05:18.440 --> 0:05:20.920 Leonard was a little more effective, I think. But there 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:22.320 in the second there was a couple of drives in 0:05:22.360 --> 0:05:23.600 a row in the second half of it was all 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:27.080 Ronald Jones, and uh, I don't think that. I don't 0:05:27.080 --> 0:05:30.719 think that Leonard has playoff. Lenny has played really well, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:32.760 but I don't think he has minimized Ronald Jones. I 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:34.839 think you'll see plenty of Ronald in the Super Bowl. 0:05:35.080 --> 0:05:37.600 I agree with that. Um Richard asked, do you think 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.760 the Bucks would add another safety just in case Winfield 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:43.240 and or Whitehead would not be ready? And is there 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:47.679 still depth behind Mike Edwards and Andrew Adams. Well, there 0:05:47.760 --> 0:05:50.159 there is when you bring up Javon Hagen from the 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.960 practice squad. That's where we were in the last game. 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:57.640 Once with with Mike and I mean with Antoine Winfield out, 0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:02.479 they promoted Javon or elevated Javon Hagen from the practice squad, 0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:05.039 and then when they decided not to play Winfield, they 0:06:05.120 --> 0:06:08.320 kept Hagen active. And then when Edward or not Edwards, 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.400 but when white had got hurt and ad Andrew Adams 0:06:11.400 --> 0:06:14.640 came in, and Adams and Edwards you're one backup safety. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.800 There was Javon Hagan, the rookie that's been with us 0:06:17.800 --> 0:06:19.680 all year. Honestly, we don't know much about him me. 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.479 He has played on special teams a few times, but 0:06:22.520 --> 0:06:25.200 has not played on defense as of yet. But you know, 0:06:25.240 --> 0:06:27.520 we've seen how they've made that work with her Miller 0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:29.159 a couple of times when the cornerbacks got a little 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:31.720 bit thin. So I don't think you'd add somebody at 0:06:31.720 --> 0:06:33.880 this late of a date. Maybe put somebody on the 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.279 practice squad to add a second one if you're feeling 0:06:36.720 --> 0:06:40.280 concerned about both of those guys. It's possible, but but no, 0:06:40.400 --> 0:06:43.480 I would guess not. Okay, And Frank said, what do 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:45.840 you think that we do in this game to get 0:06:45.839 --> 0:06:49.320 a winning result? Based on the last time playing Casey, well, 0:06:49.320 --> 0:06:51.720 the problems we had and with Casey the first time, 0:06:52.160 --> 0:06:56.000 we're really really slow starts on both sides of the ball. Obviously, 0:06:56.320 --> 0:06:58.320 one thing that has to be different is we have 0:06:58.400 --> 0:07:00.560 to figure out a way to contain ty Rekill a 0:07:00.560 --> 0:07:02.800 lot better. I think he had a record number of 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:05.320 yards in the first quarter, if I remember correctly, ended 0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:08.039 up with something like two d sixty yards in that game. 0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.320 You can't do that. I mean, I'm not saying that's easy. 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:12.440 I'm not saying just because you say you're gonna do it, 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:14.280 you can do it. But it's kind of like in 0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:17.040 green Bay. We when we went to Green Bay and 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:19.080 they had been doing very very well. I know we 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:20.440 beat him the first time, but that was a lot 0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.120 a long time ago, and we said what we needed 0:07:23.160 --> 0:07:26.560 to do was get pressure on on aon Rodgers. Now 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:27.880 you don't know for sure you're gonna be able to 0:07:27.920 --> 0:07:29.520 do it, but they were able to do it, and 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.560 that made the difference in my estimation this time. You 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:34.160 know what, I'm not saying it's easy, but you gotta 0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.120 contain tyreek Hill a little bit better. Otherwise, the offense 0:07:37.480 --> 0:07:39.720 after that Solow start wasn't wasn't too bad. And I 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:42.040 do think there are opportunities for the Bucks offense against 0:07:42.040 --> 0:07:44.920 that Chief's defense. So mainly I think it's starting faster 0:07:45.200 --> 0:07:47.640 and keeping Tyreek Hill and Travis Kelsey in a little 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.040 bit better check than last time. And speaking of that, 0:07:50.120 --> 0:07:52.480 the next question was do you from Bruce, do you 0:07:52.680 --> 0:07:54.960 think we need to double Hill or Kelsey or how 0:07:55.000 --> 0:07:57.080 do you how do you see them trying to contain 0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:59.760 them more? Yeah, I mean safety hellp for for Hill 0:07:59.760 --> 0:08:02.080 when make a lot of sense because you can't just 0:08:02.160 --> 0:08:04.480 have your corners play ten yards off a hill because 0:08:04.480 --> 0:08:06.400 they're worried about the deep ball because he catches a 0:08:06.440 --> 0:08:08.680 lot of underneath stuff and then it's just like a 0:08:08.680 --> 0:08:11.640 water bug all over the field. He's he's essentially the 0:08:11.680 --> 0:08:14.920 fastest player in the NFL. So, um yeah, safety help 0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:17.360 for him does make a lot of sense. It does 0:08:17.440 --> 0:08:20.320 also help to double Travis Kelsey, but it's hard to 0:08:20.320 --> 0:08:22.280 do that with both of them, and I know, um, 0:08:22.320 --> 0:08:24.880 we just we don't want to play double high safety 0:08:24.920 --> 0:08:27.960 the whole game. So what I would say is trust 0:08:28.040 --> 0:08:29.600 and Todd Bowls to come up with a good plan 0:08:29.760 --> 0:08:31.240 and to mix it up as the game goes along, 0:08:31.280 --> 0:08:33.360 so they won't be doubled all the time, but sometimes 0:08:33.360 --> 0:08:35.960 they will. And we had several people asking about if 0:08:35.960 --> 0:08:37.920 they will be able to fire the cannons in the 0:08:37.960 --> 0:08:41.800 game or not. Um, it'll be interesting to see if 0:08:41.880 --> 0:08:44.120 they use them at all or how because I mean, again, 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.760 they cannot make it seem like an actual home Bucks 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:49.760 game that we are not the ones doing the in 0:08:49.920 --> 0:08:52.520 game production. It is a league thing. It is a neutral, 0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:56.520 uh situation. So but it's like that's such an iconic 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:58.880 thing of the stadium and I've I have often wondered 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.800 if the Bucks weren't in the game at all, would 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:03.840 they have maybe fired them some more just because it 0:09:03.920 --> 0:09:06.520 is such a um iconic part of the stadium. So 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.880 I'll be interesting to see if they decide to use 0:09:07.920 --> 0:09:09.920 it maybe in pregames somehow, or if they're just gonna 0:09:09.920 --> 0:09:12.120 be like nope, can once the game's over, you know, 0:09:12.160 --> 0:09:15.160 you fire off the cannons for whoever won. Yeah, yeah, 0:09:15.200 --> 0:09:17.600 it's gonna be uh yeah, it's gonna be very interesting 0:09:17.640 --> 0:09:20.480 to see what they decided to do there. Um. We 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:24.120 also had a question about our offensive line and how 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:27.160 confident you feel and them, especially with what we've seen 0:09:27.160 --> 0:09:29.400 with Aaron Stanny the last couple of games. Yeah, I 0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:31.480 don't know how you cannot be confident in our line 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:34.320 right now, since since the bye week, really they've been 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.640 playing at a very very high level. Um. I know 0:09:36.679 --> 0:09:38.760 that Aaron Stinny we lost Alice Kappa and had to 0:09:38.760 --> 0:09:41.559 have a replacement in there. But he, you know, from 0:09:41.760 --> 0:09:43.679 what all his teammates and coaches are saying, he's playing 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.080 very very well there. So you've been able to make 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:48.760 that change without a drop off. And you know, the 0:09:49.040 --> 0:09:51.840 protection for Tom Brady has been outstanding. There was one 0:09:52.440 --> 0:09:54.520 missed blitz pick up in the last game, otherwise he 0:09:54.559 --> 0:09:56.199 had time to sit back there and do pretty much 0:09:56.200 --> 0:09:58.640 whatever he wanted. Um, and that's been the case for 0:09:58.720 --> 0:10:01.640 most of the games recently. So the running game is 0:10:01.679 --> 0:10:03.640 doing better right now than it has for most of 0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:06.520 the season. So those are basically the two things you 0:10:06.720 --> 0:10:08.760 usually judge an offensive line on. I think they've been 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:11.960 doing fantastic. Uh. Scott had asked, do we know if 0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:14.920 Mahomes is still struggling with turf toe? Well, he was 0:10:14.920 --> 0:10:18.040 a or They didn't practice yesterday, but he was listed 0:10:18.080 --> 0:10:20.959 on the injury report as a full participant, so they weren't. 0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:22.440 They weren't going to limit him, and I assume they 0:10:22.480 --> 0:10:24.760 won't limit him when they do practice today. So no, 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:26.559 I don't think that's a problem on I mean, I'm 0:10:26.559 --> 0:10:28.400 not gonna say unfortunately, because we don't want anybody to 0:10:28.400 --> 0:10:30.839 get hurt. But um, it's good news for the Chiefs. 0:10:30.840 --> 0:10:32.640 That's a good way to put. Yes, I think that 0:10:32.679 --> 0:10:33.960 is very fair. Al Right, Well, that's gonna do it 0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.080 for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live presented 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.079 by Miller Lyte.
