WEBVTT - Shaq Barrett's Status & the Run Game vs. WFT | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.160 --> 0:00:08.280
<v Speaker 1>They're Bucks fans. How's everybody doing on this Wednesday morning,

0:00:08.320 --> 0:00:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Casey Phillips, you were senior writer and editor, Scott Smith.

0:00:10.920 --> 0:00:14.000
<v Speaker 1>This is actually our normal time for Buccaneers in Satura Live.

0:00:14.080 --> 0:00:15.960
<v Speaker 1>We had one yesterday and guess what, we're also going

0:00:16.000 --> 0:00:18.119
<v Speaker 1>to have one tomorrow. We're just making sure you guys

0:00:18.160 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>have all of the Buccaneers content that you could possibly

0:00:21.440 --> 0:00:24.000
<v Speaker 1>want going in this layoff game, making sure that everybody

0:00:24.120 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>is all caught up, so as we give people a

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.680
<v Speaker 1>chance to start submitting some of the questions on the

0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:31.400
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page. Um, we got a lot. Actually we can

0:00:31.440 --> 0:00:34.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about even just that has happened since yesterday. First,

0:00:34.760 --> 0:00:37.440
<v Speaker 1>let's go ahead and start with the Hall of Fame news. Yeah,

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.680
<v Speaker 1>it's really really good news. Um, it's not surprising. It's

0:00:40.720 --> 0:00:43.760
<v Speaker 1>still it's still a great accomplishment, but it's not surprising

0:00:43.760 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>anymore that John Lynch has made it through to the

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>finalist stage of the selection process in this case for

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 1>the Class of for the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

0:00:52.840 --> 0:00:56.680
<v Speaker 1>It's the eighth straight year that this has happened, and

0:00:56.720 --> 0:00:59.920
<v Speaker 1>that in and of itself tells me that the voters

0:01:00.320 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>on the selection committee do think he's a Hall of

0:01:02.320 --> 0:01:04.720
<v Speaker 1>Fame caliber player. They wouldn't keep making him a finalist

0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>and giving themselves a chance to put him in. But

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:09.880
<v Speaker 1>the even better news is that Rande Barber joined him.

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:12.640
<v Speaker 1>This is his fourth year of eligibility, and quite frankly,

0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.240
<v Speaker 1>I've been surprised the last three years, especially the last couple.

0:01:16.280 --> 0:01:18.040
<v Speaker 1>Maybe the first year wasn't a big surprise, but I've

0:01:18.040 --> 0:01:20.280
<v Speaker 1>been surprised the last three years that he didn't make

0:01:20.319 --> 0:01:22.520
<v Speaker 1>it through to the final stage. But now he has.

0:01:22.720 --> 0:01:25.920
<v Speaker 1>So the Buccaneers have two of the fifteen finalists. And uh,

0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.520
<v Speaker 1>they're both very, very well deserving. We've obviously stated their

0:01:28.520 --> 0:01:32.240
<v Speaker 1>cases many times here and in other places, but uh,

0:01:32.280 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, you got to make that step before you

0:01:33.800 --> 0:01:35.280
<v Speaker 1>get all the way to the Hall of Fame. And

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>this year, instead of voting on the day before the

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.280
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl in the host city, which is the traditional way,

0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going to hold a virtual meeting on January nineteenth,

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:46.640
<v Speaker 1>so we may find out even sooner than that. Yeah,

0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that is just such great news. They're both so deserving,

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.520
<v Speaker 1>and I mean, man, of all the years, the fact

0:01:51.520 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that it would be here in Tampa, it's like they've

0:01:53.800 --> 0:01:56.320
<v Speaker 1>been deserving any year and We'd be happy for them

0:01:56.360 --> 0:01:58.480
<v Speaker 1>to get in any year, but if it could happen

0:01:58.520 --> 0:02:00.680
<v Speaker 1>this year, that would just be so h all. Yeah,

0:02:00.720 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>Originally I thought twenty would be the perfect year for

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.400
<v Speaker 1>Randy Barber to go in. Uh you know, number twenty,

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:09.160
<v Speaker 1>his number, nobody else, nobody else wears that number anymore

0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>for the Buccaneers. So, but now I agree with you,

0:02:11.800 --> 0:02:13.800
<v Speaker 1>would be very fitting for one or both to get in.

0:02:14.280 --> 0:02:16.600
<v Speaker 1>That would be incredible. Um, And Richard had asked, if

0:02:16.600 --> 0:02:18.720
<v Speaker 1>you had to pick one who gets in Lynch or

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>RANDI that's a really good question. And and I want

0:02:21.720 --> 0:02:24.639
<v Speaker 1>to make sure that that it's understood that when I'm

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.679
<v Speaker 1>saying this, I'm not saying that one player is better

0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.080
<v Speaker 1>or more deserving than the other. Just circumstantially, I feel

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:31.680
<v Speaker 1>like this could be the year for John Lynch. And

0:02:31.680 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 1>believe me, I understand that I've said that before on

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:37.079
<v Speaker 1>a couple other occasions. But you look at who The

0:02:37.120 --> 0:02:39.359
<v Speaker 1>first thing you have to do is understand that it's

0:02:39.400 --> 0:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>a maximum of five of those fifteen, and you have

0:02:41.720 --> 0:02:44.320
<v Speaker 1>to look at the first year candidates and guys that

0:02:44.440 --> 0:02:47.119
<v Speaker 1>you know are probably gonna make it in the first year.

0:02:47.160 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>So how many spots are they gonna keep take up. Well,

0:02:49.200 --> 0:02:52.600
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Manning is obvious, clearly he'll get in the first year.

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:54.880
<v Speaker 1>And I think there's a very good chance that Calvin

0:02:54.960 --> 0:02:58.480
<v Speaker 1>Johnson and uh, I'm blinking on the other one right now, Oh,

0:02:58.560 --> 0:03:01.720
<v Speaker 1>Charles Woodson will will also get in. They seem like

0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.720
<v Speaker 1>first ballot types, so you've got two spots there. And

0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.800
<v Speaker 1>and looking at all the other players that are eligible,

0:03:07.880 --> 0:03:10.639
<v Speaker 1>like some Tory Holtz and Alan Fanicas and and and

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.320
<v Speaker 1>guys like that, um, he seems just as good of

0:03:14.360 --> 0:03:16.840
<v Speaker 1>a choice as any of them. So I do believe

0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.880
<v Speaker 1>that the Hall of Fame committee takes opportunities to clear

0:03:19.960 --> 0:03:22.399
<v Speaker 1>up log jams or to take care of a guy

0:03:22.440 --> 0:03:24.560
<v Speaker 1>they've been trying again but just couldn't make them top

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.280
<v Speaker 1>five before when they have a chance. And so I'm

0:03:27.320 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>thinking this could be John's chance. And yeah, I'd love

0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:31.560
<v Speaker 1>to see Rodney go in, but he might have to

0:03:31.600 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>wait a couple of years. Yeah, that's that's I I

0:03:33.960 --> 0:03:36.160
<v Speaker 1>can understand that logic for sure. So hopefully, yeah, this

0:03:36.200 --> 0:03:38.240
<v Speaker 1>is the year that at least one of them can

0:03:38.280 --> 0:03:40.040
<v Speaker 1>get in. All right, Well, we also had some exciting

0:03:40.040 --> 0:03:41.920
<v Speaker 1>other award news, not quite Hall of Fame level, but

0:03:42.000 --> 0:03:45.280
<v Speaker 1>still pretty exciting for UH kicker Ryan suck Up. Well,

0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:47.360
<v Speaker 1>hey yeah, those awards along the way help you get

0:03:47.440 --> 0:03:49.560
<v Speaker 1>in the Hall of Fame eventually, and the Buccaneers have

0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>had a lot of these specialty or I mean Player

0:03:51.800 --> 0:03:54.080
<v Speaker 1>of the Week awards. This year, Ryan suck Up it

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:57.320
<v Speaker 1>wanted for the second time. He had fourteen points, made

0:03:57.360 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>all eight of his kicks, which was big because the

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Bucks offense was pretty much moving the ball at will.

0:04:02.600 --> 0:04:05.800
<v Speaker 1>They scored on all five of their first half drives

0:04:05.840 --> 0:04:07.960
<v Speaker 1>against Atlanta, but they were having a little trouble in

0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the red zone, um, so they had to kick field

0:04:10.600 --> 0:04:12.080
<v Speaker 1>goals and he made all of them, which allowed the

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Bucks to take that twenty three to ten halftime lead

0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:16.479
<v Speaker 1>and then hold on and kind of pull away at

0:04:16.520 --> 0:04:18.920
<v Speaker 1>the end. So it's a great award for Ryan. It's

0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>actually the seventh time he's won it in his career,

0:04:21.880 --> 0:04:23.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times with Casey and a couple of

0:04:23.480 --> 0:04:26.719
<v Speaker 1>times with Tennessee. Uh. He is the first Bucaneer, however,

0:04:27.080 --> 0:04:29.720
<v Speaker 1>to have won this the Special Teams Player of the

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.280
<v Speaker 1>Week award twice in one season, which I was surprised

0:04:32.279 --> 0:04:33.920
<v Speaker 1>to find when I looked it up because I figured

0:04:34.160 --> 0:04:36.719
<v Speaker 1>Martin Grammatica, who did win it multiple times, it's just

0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>never won it twice in one season. Wow, that's a

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:41.560
<v Speaker 1>really interesting staff there. I love that will. Congratulations to

0:04:41.640 --> 0:04:44.760
<v Speaker 1>Ryan and I know that Bucks fans have loved his consistency.

0:04:45.440 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it is really great to have that kind

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.880
<v Speaker 1>of confidence that your your kickers getting the Player of

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the Week award right before the playoffs. That it's a

0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty thirty one and I think something like the last

0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:59.560
<v Speaker 1>twenty six or something like that. So you're feeling very

0:04:59.560 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>good about m Yeah, that's great. And UM, finally, we

0:05:02.360 --> 0:05:04.719
<v Speaker 1>just wanted to before we get to these questions, figure

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:07.120
<v Speaker 1>out what all we learned from some of the press

0:05:07.160 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>conferences yesterday morning from the practice that happened. It was

0:05:10.480 --> 0:05:13.599
<v Speaker 1>essentially a walk through, um, but what different players and

0:05:13.640 --> 0:05:16.239
<v Speaker 1>coaches said that they gave us some insight into, especially

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.880
<v Speaker 1>things like health, but just overall team things. Well, first

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>to walk through, and that's a that's an important distinction

0:05:21.440 --> 0:05:24.320
<v Speaker 1>because uh, and then the teams do this generally when

0:05:24.320 --> 0:05:27.040
<v Speaker 1>they have an accelerated schedule. Since we have a Saturday game,

0:05:27.240 --> 0:05:29.760
<v Speaker 1>you're practicing on Tuesday what you would normally do on Wednesday,

0:05:29.800 --> 0:05:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and so on. But two days after the game, it's

0:05:32.680 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>the last game, isn't a lot of time for players

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to recover. Sey generally don't do a full speed practice.

0:05:37.480 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 1>What they do is a walkthrough. So uh, most notably

0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 1>Mike Evans and Carlton Davis did take part in the walkthrough,

0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:49.200
<v Speaker 1>which is a good sign, because a walkthrough is you

0:05:49.520 --> 0:05:51.120
<v Speaker 1>line up how you're going to run the players you're

0:05:51.200 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>choosing to use on Saturday, and then you walk through them.

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.600
<v Speaker 1>And if those guys are taking part in them, that

0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.360
<v Speaker 1>means the club that's hoping has, you know, some optimism

0:05:59.360 --> 0:06:01.479
<v Speaker 1>that they'll be out there. Otherwise they wouldn't bother to

0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:04.120
<v Speaker 1>put them in the practice for what you're gonna do

0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:07.480
<v Speaker 1>on the game. However, the the actual injury report is

0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>based upon a full speed practice, so when you walk through,

0:06:10.160 --> 0:06:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you have to estimate what would have happened if you've

0:06:12.640 --> 0:06:15.760
<v Speaker 1>gone full speed. And the Bucks said that Carlton and

0:06:15.800 --> 0:06:19.799
<v Speaker 1>Mike would not have practice, which isn't a setback or anything. Uh.

0:06:19.960 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>It was always a target of Thursday for Mike. So

0:06:22.760 --> 0:06:24.440
<v Speaker 1>it's not bad news. I think it's actually kind of

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:27.080
<v Speaker 1>good news, but it's it's not anything certain yet as

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.159
<v Speaker 1>for the press conferences. I think the biggest, probably the

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:33.080
<v Speaker 1>best statement anybody made was Bruce arians saying, we don't

0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.440
<v Speaker 1>think we're playing a seven and nine Washington team. We

0:06:35.440 --> 0:06:37.960
<v Speaker 1>think we're playing a four and one Washington team because

0:06:38.160 --> 0:06:40.160
<v Speaker 1>that's what they are under Alex Smith. And it's a

0:06:40.200 --> 0:06:42.479
<v Speaker 1>good point. All right. Well, now let's get into some

0:06:42.480 --> 0:06:45.640
<v Speaker 1>of these questions, uh, Jamir, I think is how you

0:06:45.680 --> 0:06:48.560
<v Speaker 1>say it? Um said, how do you think Mentor will

0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>do in the middle and place of Devon White? Well,

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:53.440
<v Speaker 1>based on this last game and the three games that

0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:56.240
<v Speaker 1>he played in White's absence early last year, I think

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:58.400
<v Speaker 1>he'll do pretty good. I mean, we saw that he

0:06:58.440 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 1>could do all of the things that you want that

0:07:01.480 --> 0:07:03.760
<v Speaker 1>position to do in this defense. He can rush the

0:07:03.760 --> 0:07:05.800
<v Speaker 1>pastor a little bit if you need him to. So

0:07:05.880 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>that element of that blitz up the middle that White

0:07:08.560 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>has done so well this year is still there. I'm

0:07:10.760 --> 0:07:14.160
<v Speaker 1>not gonna say there aren't any many linebackers inside linebackers

0:07:14.200 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>that can blitz like Devin White, so let's not go

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>that far. But he Mentor can also range around the

0:07:19.360 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>field to make tackles on rushing plays and even covered

0:07:23.520 --> 0:07:26.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty well down the field. So Um, He's a solid

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:29.760
<v Speaker 1>guy who knows the defense backward and forward. And uh

0:07:29.880 --> 0:07:32.760
<v Speaker 1>has a ton of experience with Bruce Arians and played

0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.560
<v Speaker 1>pretty well last week, so I think he can do

0:07:34.680 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>just fine. And Greg asked, Uh, do you think all

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.120
<v Speaker 1>Claire or Hudson will get activated this week or do

0:07:40.160 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>you think they will want to use an O lineman

0:07:41.880 --> 0:07:45.440
<v Speaker 1>to help in pass protection? Well, Um, I think they'll

0:07:45.440 --> 0:07:47.320
<v Speaker 1>probably do well. Claire would be my guest. That's what

0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>they did last week. And obviously with this ferocious Washington line,

0:07:51.000 --> 0:07:52.640
<v Speaker 1>I think you're gonna want your blocking tight end a

0:07:52.640 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>little bit more. You could still use that um extra

0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.440
<v Speaker 1>offensive lineman is a tight end. It's kind of six

0:07:59.440 --> 0:08:01.160
<v Speaker 1>of one have to isn't of another? Or you could

0:08:01.200 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, you might have some jumble packages where you're

0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:06.440
<v Speaker 1>using both of them. So but again, as I said yesterday,

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.720
<v Speaker 1>even against a pass rush like this, you have to

0:08:09.760 --> 0:08:13.280
<v Speaker 1>remember the head coach that's that's running things. And and

0:08:13.440 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians, even against tough pass rushes, doesn't like the

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:18.960
<v Speaker 1>max protect that much. He likes to put players out

0:08:18.960 --> 0:08:22.400
<v Speaker 1>into routes. And Richard asked, are you concerned that it's

0:08:22.440 --> 0:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>a night game considering how those have gone for us

0:08:24.960 --> 0:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>this year. Well, I mean I would be if I

0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>thought there was any particular reason for that little mini trend.

0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is. It doesn't there's really not

0:08:34.040 --> 0:08:36.280
<v Speaker 1>much sense to it. Um. I think it was just

0:08:36.360 --> 0:08:40.520
<v Speaker 1>coincidental that the Buccaneers kept playing their worst games in

0:08:40.559 --> 0:08:43.200
<v Speaker 1>the evening. So no, it doesn't really concern me at all.

0:08:44.280 --> 0:08:47.199
<v Speaker 1>John asked when will the Bucks fly to Washington and

0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:50.839
<v Speaker 1>also do we think Rojo's carries will increase this week? Well?

0:08:51.679 --> 0:08:54.360
<v Speaker 1>To start back, Well, okay, they'll fly up on Friday.

0:08:54.360 --> 0:08:56.480
<v Speaker 1>Of course, they always fly the day before. Um, I

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:58.440
<v Speaker 1>don't know the exact time and probably wouldn't give it

0:08:58.440 --> 0:09:01.840
<v Speaker 1>out if I did. But um, as for Rojo's carries,

0:09:02.080 --> 0:09:05.360
<v Speaker 1>it's it's all just how the game unfolds. Uh. You know,

0:09:05.760 --> 0:09:08.240
<v Speaker 1>this is still a passing team, and Rogo looked great

0:09:08.480 --> 0:09:11.240
<v Speaker 1>in the last game, and I know Bruce arians wants

0:09:11.280 --> 0:09:13.920
<v Speaker 1>to use him and was certainly encouraged by how he played.

0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:16.880
<v Speaker 1>But we're gonna pass first for the most part in

0:09:16.920 --> 0:09:19.079
<v Speaker 1>most games, and then see how the game develops, and

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>and that usually is what indicates how many carries that

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.480
<v Speaker 1>your primary running back gets. So if the Bucks have

0:09:25.520 --> 0:09:27.319
<v Speaker 1>a nice lead in the second half. Yeah, he'll get

0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:30.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot more carries. I think. Um. Bruno had a

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:33.800
<v Speaker 1>question he's watching from Brazil, which is um. He said,

0:09:34.080 --> 0:09:36.360
<v Speaker 1>we know that Devin White won't be able to play Saturday,

0:09:36.440 --> 0:09:38.760
<v Speaker 1>but would he be able to play the next week

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.960
<v Speaker 1>if we win? Yeah? Yeah, I think that's the presumption.

0:09:42.000 --> 0:09:44.880
<v Speaker 1>In fact, Um, you know, Bruce arians wasn't thrilled. I

0:09:44.920 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>think it was the way you put it that we

0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:48.680
<v Speaker 1>drew a Saturday game instead of a Sunday game because

0:09:48.679 --> 0:09:50.760
<v Speaker 1>he thought there might be a chance of White coming

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:53.520
<v Speaker 1>off that list. For all we know, he's ready to

0:09:53.520 --> 0:09:56.559
<v Speaker 1>go right now. It's just the protocol says ten days.

0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.280
<v Speaker 1>So um, yeah, he would be assuming that he is

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.319
<v Speaker 1>healthy and ready. Um, there's nothing that would stop him

0:10:03.360 --> 0:10:05.360
<v Speaker 1>from coming off that list in time for a second

0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:09.040
<v Speaker 1>round game if the Buccaneers get past Washington, and Curtis asked,

0:10:09.040 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>what are the odds of a Buccaneer home game in

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.640
<v Speaker 1>the playoffs? Well, they're not high, and they never are

0:10:13.720 --> 0:10:17.120
<v Speaker 1>for any wild card team. And you'll know at least

0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.880
<v Speaker 1>for the next round before the Buccaneers even play, because

0:10:19.880 --> 0:10:22.880
<v Speaker 1>the Rams and and Seahawks will play on Saturday afternoon.

0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:25.880
<v Speaker 1>And if the Seahawks win, then the Buccaneers definitely won't

0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:28.800
<v Speaker 1>have a home game in round two. They would go

0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:33.040
<v Speaker 1>to either Green Bay if um New Orleans beat Chicago

0:10:33.200 --> 0:10:36.959
<v Speaker 1>or Seattle. If Chicago beats New Orleans, if the Rams win,

0:10:37.000 --> 0:10:39.040
<v Speaker 1>then it remains a possibility because if the Rams and

0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:41.080
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers win on Saturday, and then the Bears win

0:10:41.120 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday, then all three wild card teams won and

0:10:43.840 --> 0:10:46.120
<v Speaker 1>as the highest wild card team, the lowest wild card

0:10:46.160 --> 0:10:48.680
<v Speaker 1>team would would which would be Chicago, would go to

0:10:48.720 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Green Bay, and as the highest wild card team, we

0:10:51.240 --> 0:10:53.760
<v Speaker 1>would host the Rams. So yeah, it's possible. And then

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:55.880
<v Speaker 1>even if it doesn't happen this week, if at least

0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:57.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the Rams or the Bears wins and the

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.720
<v Speaker 1>Bucks win this weekend, there remains of possibility for the

0:11:00.800 --> 0:11:04.199
<v Speaker 1>m C Championship game in Tampa. But somebody's gonna have

0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:07.160
<v Speaker 1>to knock off Green Bay for that dappen. Yes, that's true. Um,

0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>all right. We also had a question, do you see

0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>uh there being more quick slants to someone like a

0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:15.360
<v Speaker 1>b because of going against this pass rush, so get

0:11:15.440 --> 0:11:19.400
<v Speaker 1>rid of the ball quickly. Um, well, I guess it

0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:22.240
<v Speaker 1>depends on how well, we're holding up because we are

0:11:22.320 --> 0:11:25.480
<v Speaker 1>rightfully talking about how good that Washington pass rushes and

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>star studded with first round picks. But remember that we

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:31.000
<v Speaker 1>have a very good offensive line, and I think they're

0:11:31.000 --> 0:11:33.600
<v Speaker 1>really hitting their stride as the season ended. I mean,

0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.800
<v Speaker 1>if you watch this last game against Atlanta, I know

0:11:35.840 --> 0:11:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it Land doesn't have the same defensive line, but they

0:11:38.400 --> 0:11:40.760
<v Speaker 1>have some talented defenders as well. Tom Brady had a

0:11:40.840 --> 0:11:42.719
<v Speaker 1>lot of time to throw, a lot of time, and

0:11:42.920 --> 0:11:45.760
<v Speaker 1>that allows you to look downfield. So I would think

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 1>what you have is every play has a number of possibilities, right,

0:11:49.360 --> 0:11:52.720
<v Speaker 1>so you have your chance to hit the ball downfield

0:11:52.720 --> 0:11:54.160
<v Speaker 1>if you have time. Otherwise you get rid of it

0:11:54.280 --> 0:11:56.920
<v Speaker 1>more quickly to somebody underneath. Um, I don't think you

0:11:57.000 --> 0:12:01.720
<v Speaker 1>necessarily call more slants because you're terrified of their pass rush. Okay,

0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>well that's going to do for us on this edition

0:12:03.320 --> 0:12:06.160
<v Speaker 1>of Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller Lite. Thanks as
