WEBVTT - Optimism Surrounding Carlton Davis & Secondary | Bucs Insider Live

0:00:21.360 --> 0:00:23.800
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in to Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller like

0:00:23.920 --> 0:00:26.680
<v Speaker 1>Casey Phillips and Scott Smith. Here, we were off for

0:00:26.720 --> 0:00:28.800
<v Speaker 1>a week, so we've got a couple of weeks. Hopefully

0:00:28.840 --> 0:00:30.960
<v Speaker 1>we've stored up questions from all of you guys, so

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:32.599
<v Speaker 1>make sure any of those questions you have for us.

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:35.160
<v Speaker 1>Were just a little over two weeks away from training camp,

0:00:35.200 --> 0:00:37.320
<v Speaker 1>which is crazy to realize. So put all those questions

0:00:37.360 --> 0:00:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you have in the comment section under the live video

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.920
<v Speaker 1>on Facebook if that's not already where you watching and

0:00:40.920 --> 0:00:43.680
<v Speaker 1>of course we always love hearing where everyone is watching from.

0:00:44.080 --> 0:00:47.160
<v Speaker 1>We won't be here next week either because I'm on vacation. Sorry, man,

0:00:47.240 --> 0:00:49.159
<v Speaker 1>So you gotta get all the questions in now. No,

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that's okay, I'm fine. I think that we'll just wait.

0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, so this is it. You gotta get those

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.320
<v Speaker 1>questions in now because we're gonna have another week without

0:00:55.320 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 1>the show and then it will basically be training camp,

0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.120
<v Speaker 1>which is kind of crazy. So um, so as we

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:03.080
<v Speaker 1>give people a chance to start submitting some of those questions. Um,

0:01:03.120 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>we did have the news of Jamaldine signing. Uh so

0:01:06.319 --> 0:01:08.120
<v Speaker 1>where does that leave us now in terms of the

0:01:08.240 --> 0:01:10.560
<v Speaker 1>rookie class, and how many of them are signed. All

0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.919
<v Speaker 1>of them, is said Devon White, which is what you'd expect.

0:01:12.959 --> 0:01:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Sometimes you get them all done by this point. Um,

0:01:15.560 --> 0:01:17.959
<v Speaker 1>there's a handful of first round picks that still aren't signed.

0:01:17.959 --> 0:01:21.000
<v Speaker 1>I think the Raiders just signed their guy yesterday or today,

0:01:21.080 --> 0:01:24.920
<v Speaker 1>Josh Jacobs. So teams are getting it done. Basically, it's

0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:27.640
<v Speaker 1>not that hard anymore to sign most of these guys

0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:29.640
<v Speaker 1>because of the formula and the slidding of salaries. So

0:01:29.680 --> 0:01:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of teams getting done really quick when the

0:01:31.360 --> 0:01:33.760
<v Speaker 1>rookies first come to their their center and they can

0:01:33.880 --> 0:01:36.680
<v Speaker 1>actually haven't signed. Um. Sometimes a couple of the drag

0:01:36.720 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>on for pretty what are to you and I pretty

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:40.560
<v Speaker 1>unimportant reasons. But there's no doubt that all those guys

0:01:40.600 --> 0:01:43.200
<v Speaker 1>are gonna get signed now. The fifth overall pick is

0:01:43.240 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of a complicated one, obvious some

0:01:46.520 --> 0:01:49.480
<v Speaker 1>of the Sometimes the argument can be over how much

0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.400
<v Speaker 1>of it is guaranteed. Lots of times those guys get

0:01:51.440 --> 0:01:54.400
<v Speaker 1>fully guaranteed for your contracts, things like that or offset

0:01:54.480 --> 0:01:57.280
<v Speaker 1>language or whatever. Who knows what the negotiation if there

0:01:57.360 --> 0:01:59.560
<v Speaker 1>is a whole of at all between Devin White and us.

0:01:59.560 --> 0:02:01.640
<v Speaker 1>But I'm not concerned about it. I think they just

0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>get it done right before the start of training camp.

0:02:03.760 --> 0:02:06.040
<v Speaker 1>You know, there hasn't been a holdout for the Buccaneers

0:02:06.040 --> 0:02:09.919
<v Speaker 1>since I think Trent Dilfer for a rookie, So I'm

0:02:09.919 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>not really worried about it. I think we'll be in

0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:13.639
<v Speaker 1>on time, okay. And the other bit of news going

0:02:13.680 --> 0:02:16.760
<v Speaker 1>on right now, the supplemental draft if you want, if

0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.239
<v Speaker 1>you want to call it news, so that was gonna be.

0:02:18.320 --> 0:02:21.119
<v Speaker 1>My question is how important is this? What sort of

0:02:21.160 --> 0:02:23.359
<v Speaker 1>attention should be paid. If we weren't talking about it

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.000
<v Speaker 1>right now, probably most people wouldn't realize it's happening today.

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.520
<v Speaker 1>It goes by without anybody hearing about it for the

0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.320
<v Speaker 1>most part because they don't even really It's not like

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:33.160
<v Speaker 1>there's a draft and they all get in a room

0:02:33.160 --> 0:02:35.919
<v Speaker 1>and they go pick by pick. It's just there's a

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.359
<v Speaker 1>lot of weighted lottery system to determine the draft order,

0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.600
<v Speaker 1>and then you just kind of email the league and say,

0:02:40.639 --> 0:02:42.040
<v Speaker 1>if you want to put a pick in and around

0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.079
<v Speaker 1>and maybe again you know a few of the highest pick,

0:02:44.120 --> 0:02:45.880
<v Speaker 1>then you can. If the actual draft was like this,

0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.919
<v Speaker 1>it would be quick. You just send an email like, hey,

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:49.440
<v Speaker 1>I kind of like this guy. I don't think the

0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.160
<v Speaker 1>NFL would want to leave the millions on the table

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:53.760
<v Speaker 1>do they get from the coverage of the draft. So

0:02:54.040 --> 0:02:57.080
<v Speaker 1>there's five guys. Basically, what the supplemental draft is is

0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.120
<v Speaker 1>sometimes or every year they're a handful of guys, is

0:03:00.120 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>that their eligibility for the upcoming college season changes between

0:03:04.200 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 1>the regular draft and now for some reason they get

0:03:06.800 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 1>declared ineligible, whether it's violating and C double A rules

0:03:09.639 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 1>or something right, So those guys their options then are

0:03:12.919 --> 0:03:14.960
<v Speaker 1>to just sit out a whole season and maybe play

0:03:15.000 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>their their final season the next year in college, or

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:19.720
<v Speaker 1>go into next year's real draft, or they can just

0:03:19.760 --> 0:03:22.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of accelerate the timetable and go into the supplemental draft.

0:03:23.280 --> 0:03:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And usually there's one or two guys that are considered

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.200
<v Speaker 1>possibly draft worthy. I think this year there's a safety

0:03:29.440 --> 0:03:31.880
<v Speaker 1>Jalen Thompson I think from Washington State, and a West

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Virginia wide receiver named Marcus Sims. I think who are

0:03:34.760 --> 0:03:36.920
<v Speaker 1>considered guys that could be drafted, Like if they were

0:03:36.960 --> 0:03:39.440
<v Speaker 1>in the draft, that might have been third or sixth

0:03:39.520 --> 0:03:42.520
<v Speaker 1>round picks. And so if you draft one of those guys,

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:45.200
<v Speaker 1>then you forfeit that pick that you use like a

0:03:45.200 --> 0:03:47.680
<v Speaker 1>third rounder in next year's draft, So it's kind of

0:03:47.680 --> 0:03:49.240
<v Speaker 1>a big decision for a team if they want to

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:51.120
<v Speaker 1>do that. On the other hand, it is you kind

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:53.640
<v Speaker 1>of your last chance to potentially add an impact player

0:03:54.040 --> 0:03:55.760
<v Speaker 1>that can make a difference this year. They can go

0:03:55.800 --> 0:03:58.240
<v Speaker 1>into training camp, So if you needed help at safety,

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:01.080
<v Speaker 1>you might consider it that. I Jillen Thompson held to

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.400
<v Speaker 1>work out after he was declared ineligible and decided to

0:04:04.440 --> 0:04:06.280
<v Speaker 1>go into this draft, and twenty six teams showed up

0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:08.920
<v Speaker 1>to watch, so I think there's a good chance till

0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.480
<v Speaker 1>you drafted. Personally, I don't think it'll be us because

0:04:12.080 --> 0:04:13.920
<v Speaker 1>we have a lot We've drafted a lot of safeties

0:04:13.920 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>in the last three years, and we have a lot

0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of depth there. It still has to be worked out.

0:04:17.720 --> 0:04:20.400
<v Speaker 1>I think that's the most interesting position battle going into camp.

0:04:20.760 --> 0:04:23.120
<v Speaker 1>But um, there's a lot of young guys that are already.

0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:25.520
<v Speaker 1>Do you really need to add another young safety? Probably

0:04:25.520 --> 0:04:28.000
<v Speaker 1>not so. And then receiver depth is pretty good here too,

0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.719
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think we're gonna do anything. The draft

0:04:29.760 --> 0:04:32.279
<v Speaker 1>starts at one. You won't find it on the TV anywhere.

0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.960
<v Speaker 1>You set to wait and hear what happens. All right,

0:04:35.000 --> 0:04:37.000
<v Speaker 1>Wait a question from Colin who said, is there a

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:39.640
<v Speaker 1>fullback on the roster or would we have one? Now?

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.599
<v Speaker 1>There isn't a fullback on the restaurant. I imagine you'd

0:04:41.600 --> 0:04:44.400
<v Speaker 1>probably see guys. Um. You know, basically what a lot

0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.159
<v Speaker 1>of teams now do now is if they want a

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.719
<v Speaker 1>blocker in the backfield, they just just take their tight

0:04:48.800 --> 0:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>end that's most closely like an h back and put

0:04:51.680 --> 0:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>them back there. So a lot of teams aren't carrying

0:04:53.880 --> 0:04:57.000
<v Speaker 1>fullbacks anymore. I guess you know Daria ogooma wall he

0:04:57.080 --> 0:04:59.120
<v Speaker 1>is a pretty big guy. You might consider seeing if

0:04:59.120 --> 0:05:00.719
<v Speaker 1>he could do some of the But no, there's not

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.200
<v Speaker 1>a player that has the designation of fullback on the roster. Uh.

0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:07.440
<v Speaker 1>Antonio said, how do you feel about our secondary? Well,

0:05:07.480 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean tentatively, um optimistic. You know, it was really

0:05:12.760 --> 0:05:14.640
<v Speaker 1>the results were really bad last year and I don't

0:05:14.640 --> 0:05:16.800
<v Speaker 1>know who you want to blame that on. Um. Some

0:05:16.839 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>of the guys that were there are no longer with us. Uh.

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.000
<v Speaker 1>You know, there's a new defensive scheme which I think

0:05:21.040 --> 0:05:24.600
<v Speaker 1>is more aggressive. There's a lot of young talent that

0:05:24.640 --> 0:05:27.480
<v Speaker 1>has to be sorted out, and I want to be

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.680
<v Speaker 1>optimistic about every single one of those guys, but history

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:32.440
<v Speaker 1>suggests that not every single one of them is going

0:05:32.440 --> 0:05:34.400
<v Speaker 1>to turn into a really good player. So who's it

0:05:34.440 --> 0:05:36.200
<v Speaker 1>going to be? I mean, I really feel good about

0:05:36.200 --> 0:05:39.600
<v Speaker 1>Carlton Davis. Um, I'm hoping for Anon Hargraves can avoid

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:40.960
<v Speaker 1>the injury bug this year and we can see what

0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:42.480
<v Speaker 1>he can do because he looked like he was starting

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:44.480
<v Speaker 1>off the season really well last year. And you got

0:05:44.480 --> 0:05:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the draft picks from this year. Uh, you know, Mike

0:05:47.120 --> 0:05:51.080
<v Speaker 1>Edwards looked really good out there. Um, Sean Murphy Bunting

0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>and Jamal Dean who were just talking about, had their moments,

0:05:54.400 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 1>you know. So there's a lot to sort through there.

0:05:56.680 --> 0:05:58.680
<v Speaker 1>I think fans are gonna like the style of play

0:05:58.680 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more because it going to be more aggressive,

0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.240
<v Speaker 1>which can lead to big plays on both sides. Don't

0:06:03.240 --> 0:06:05.200
<v Speaker 1>get me wrong. There's a reason why some teams play

0:06:05.240 --> 0:06:07.679
<v Speaker 1>a very ben bid, don't break style, and that style

0:06:07.680 --> 0:06:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of defense has traditionally worked very well in Tampa at

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:13.120
<v Speaker 1>certain times, but hasn't really worked well lately. And so

0:06:13.160 --> 0:06:15.280
<v Speaker 1>I think fans are probably gonna like the way this

0:06:15.360 --> 0:06:19.280
<v Speaker 1>secondary plays a very aggressive style. But um, there's so

0:06:19.360 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>much to sort through right now that I think it's

0:06:21.320 --> 0:06:24.360
<v Speaker 1>irresponsible to say I feel fantastic about it. You know, Yeah,

0:06:24.400 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 1>that's that's a great point. I like this question. Christopher said,

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:30.280
<v Speaker 1>who is more likely to make the roster Justin Watson, Uh,

0:06:30.320 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>Scotty Miller or Bobo Wilson. That is a fantastic question

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:36.160
<v Speaker 1>because I think there's a decent chance that those three

0:06:36.160 --> 0:06:40.320
<v Speaker 1>guys will be the final candidates for two spots. Um. Wow,

0:06:40.480 --> 0:06:42.920
<v Speaker 1>I think Scotty Miller is the most likely because he's

0:06:42.960 --> 0:06:45.680
<v Speaker 1>the new draft picking because he's a different type. You know,

0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:48.359
<v Speaker 1>Justin Watson, he drew a lot of praise for what

0:06:48.400 --> 0:06:51.360
<v Speaker 1>he was doing the offseason. Two Um didn't really play

0:06:51.400 --> 0:06:54.159
<v Speaker 1>a ton, didn't really have a lot of opportunities as

0:06:54.200 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 1>a rookie. But he's more of like a similar type

0:06:57.120 --> 0:07:01.240
<v Speaker 1>receiver to what Mike Emmons is. UM. And so I

0:07:01.240 --> 0:07:04.200
<v Speaker 1>think Scotty Miller is a different kind of player. You know, quick,

0:07:04.480 --> 0:07:06.839
<v Speaker 1>really really fast, and he may be able to grab

0:07:06.839 --> 0:07:08.320
<v Speaker 1>the slot shots. So I think he's got a really

0:07:08.360 --> 0:07:10.480
<v Speaker 1>good shot. So if that's the case, then we're talking.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:12.480
<v Speaker 1>You know, maybe they keep six and they keep all

0:07:12.520 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>three of those guys. The thing to remember about Bobo

0:07:15.000 --> 0:07:18.840
<v Speaker 1>Wilson is he has um return abilities and that kind

0:07:18.880 --> 0:07:20.560
<v Speaker 1>of thing can make the difference when it comes down

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.520
<v Speaker 1>to that final roster spot. So, UM, I think when

0:07:23.560 --> 0:07:25.840
<v Speaker 1>it comes down to it, the talent at the receiver

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:29.520
<v Speaker 1>position may make you keep one more of those, you know.

0:07:29.720 --> 0:07:31.480
<v Speaker 1>I think they most teams like to go with five,

0:07:31.840 --> 0:07:33.480
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes they go with six. I could see us

0:07:33.560 --> 0:07:36.800
<v Speaker 1>keeping six and and um and maybe only going three

0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>tight ends so you could keep all of them. I

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:41.360
<v Speaker 1>think that's gonna be a great battle. Yeah, that is

0:07:41.360 --> 0:07:43.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be really interesting to see. UM. Kevin asked what

0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:45.480
<v Speaker 1>side of the ball are you looking forward to seeing

0:07:45.480 --> 0:07:47.720
<v Speaker 1>the most in camp? Well, defense, because there's gonna be

0:07:47.760 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>so much different. We know what this offense is. I mean,

0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:52.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a new offense, but we know what the players

0:07:52.240 --> 0:07:53.760
<v Speaker 1>are capable of. There really isn't a whole lot of

0:07:53.840 --> 0:07:56.440
<v Speaker 1>change there other than you know, some of the switching

0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:58.480
<v Speaker 1>out of the wide receiver with de Shawn and Adam

0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:02.200
<v Speaker 1>Humphreys leaving and Scotty Miller arriving in brishad Perriman. But

0:08:02.320 --> 0:08:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the tight ends, the offensive line, the quarterback, the running

0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.400
<v Speaker 1>backs are all very similar to what they were. Um,

0:08:07.440 --> 0:08:10.600
<v Speaker 1>and it was very productive last year. The defense was

0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:13.000
<v Speaker 1>not good last year and really for several years in

0:08:13.000 --> 0:08:15.040
<v Speaker 1>a row. There's a lot of new pieces there and

0:08:15.080 --> 0:08:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Don mckinsue, Devin White, the Ricky d Bees, and there's

0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:20.080
<v Speaker 1>a whole new scheme which we were just talking about.

0:08:20.160 --> 0:08:23.520
<v Speaker 1>So there's a lot more that's gonna be different on defense.

0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:25.360
<v Speaker 1>So that's the side of this monster. But but really

0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:27.440
<v Speaker 1>in training camp, when you're watching one, you're watching them

0:08:27.440 --> 0:08:30.640
<v Speaker 1>both like you have to decide that's true. Uh. David

0:08:30.680 --> 0:08:32.760
<v Speaker 1>asked what you think the past rush could look like

0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:36.000
<v Speaker 1>this year. Well, I think it'll be varied, multiple. I

0:08:36.000 --> 0:08:37.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know what the right word for this is. You're

0:08:37.760 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>gonna you're gonna see guys coming from all over the place.

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:45.160
<v Speaker 1>And I think the harder, the less successful we are

0:08:45.240 --> 0:08:47.719
<v Speaker 1>early on getting the quarterback, the more varied it's gonna be.

0:08:47.760 --> 0:08:50.040
<v Speaker 1>They're gonna bring more blitz. They'll they'll blitz if they

0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:52.120
<v Speaker 1>have to, because I think they'll be determined to get

0:08:52.160 --> 0:08:56.160
<v Speaker 1>to the quarterback, Todd Bowles and his coaches. So I

0:08:56.200 --> 0:08:57.720
<v Speaker 1>think you're gonna see guys come. You know, we haven't

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.200
<v Speaker 1>seen a three four here in a long time. And

0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.679
<v Speaker 1>the great thing at the three four Um, the thing

0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 1>that's always been bothersome for our offense when we played

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.400
<v Speaker 1>three fours is it's a little harder to predict where

0:09:06.400 --> 0:09:08.120
<v Speaker 1>the pass rushers are going to come from. So it's

0:09:08.120 --> 0:09:10.760
<v Speaker 1>going to be interesting in that regard. Okay, Sean asked,

0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>what's the depth behind O J and Cam. Well, there's

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:17.280
<v Speaker 1>still Antonio Claire, and then we got the guy that

0:09:17.280 --> 0:09:21.240
<v Speaker 1>we picked off off waivers from the Jets. Um blanket

0:09:21.240 --> 0:09:23.840
<v Speaker 1>on his name right now. And then the two guys

0:09:24.320 --> 0:09:28.719
<v Speaker 1>from last year that got called up late in the year. Um,

0:09:28.840 --> 0:09:31.000
<v Speaker 1>help me. I'm sorry, I was reading some of these

0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:33.840
<v Speaker 1>questions here all of a sudden, Donny Earnsberg Burger and

0:09:35.080 --> 0:09:37.720
<v Speaker 1>another one. There was another guy that we called up

0:09:37.760 --> 0:09:40.800
<v Speaker 1>late late. Yeah, so I'm sorry that I'm blanking on

0:09:40.880 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>names right now. No offense, but there's the two young

0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:45.280
<v Speaker 1>guys from last year and the guy we got from

0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.480
<v Speaker 1>the Jets, and then the three holdovers. It's not a

0:09:47.520 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 1>lot of depth, to be honest with you. It's it's

0:09:48.960 --> 0:09:52.160
<v Speaker 1>kind of a top heavy group. Because O J and Cam,

0:09:52.200 --> 0:09:54.040
<v Speaker 1>I think there's a lot of beliefs that they could

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:56.520
<v Speaker 1>be one of the best tightening combinations in all of

0:09:56.559 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>the league. But after that, you got a guy Antonio

0:09:58.640 --> 0:10:01.480
<v Speaker 1>Claire who has you know, impressed with his blocking, but

0:10:01.520 --> 0:10:03.480
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have a lot of you know, history of

0:10:03.520 --> 0:10:05.480
<v Speaker 1>catching the ball. And then the other guys are all

0:10:05.480 --> 0:10:09.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty much unproven, right yeah, Um, Jordan Leaguette, who's the

0:10:09.840 --> 0:10:12.959
<v Speaker 1>guy from that? Okay, there you go. George said, how

0:10:13.000 --> 0:10:15.000
<v Speaker 1>strong do you think our old line will be this year?

0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:19.160
<v Speaker 1>That's a very important question. Um, I'm hoping that the

0:10:19.160 --> 0:10:23.319
<v Speaker 1>old line can be uh at least league average, if

0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:25.959
<v Speaker 1>not a little bit better. Um, you know, allowed, that's

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:29.720
<v Speaker 1>going to come down probably too, how well DeMar Dotson

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:31.400
<v Speaker 1>holds up, you know, because he's getting up there, and

0:10:31.520 --> 0:10:33.840
<v Speaker 1>last year he had to battle through some injuries and

0:10:33.960 --> 0:10:36.600
<v Speaker 1>that's been a thing for him in recent years, and um,

0:10:36.640 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, he it's it's not easy for a guy,

0:10:39.440 --> 0:10:44.000
<v Speaker 1>especially a six nine guy you know, who has taken beating,

0:10:44.080 --> 0:10:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, pounding through the years for him to stay

0:10:48.559 --> 0:10:51.440
<v Speaker 1>percent healthy throughout a season. And then what happens at

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.280
<v Speaker 1>right guard, because that's really probably the most wide open

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:57.520
<v Speaker 1>position on the team right now, and whoever is in there,

0:10:57.960 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>it could be a very unproven player like like Alex Kappa,

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:02.520
<v Speaker 1>which I think is what they would like the solution

0:11:02.520 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>to be. Um. Jake wanted to know, do you think

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:12.439
<v Speaker 1>we'll keep three quarterbacks again? Yeah? I'm kind of hoping not, Um,

0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>because I like to have that extra position on the

0:11:15.600 --> 0:11:18.200
<v Speaker 1>fifty three man roster, but I think when it comes

0:11:18.200 --> 0:11:21.520
<v Speaker 1>down to it that they probably will. Um. If you

0:11:21.559 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>look at Bruce, I asked Bruce that question. Coach Arean

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.400
<v Speaker 1>to that question in the off season. I think it

0:11:26.440 --> 0:11:28.440
<v Speaker 1>was when we were in Phoenix for the league meetings,

0:11:28.800 --> 0:11:32.200
<v Speaker 1>and he said he would prefer to keep too, but

0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.640
<v Speaker 1>sometimes you have to keep three. And if you look

0:11:34.679 --> 0:11:37.600
<v Speaker 1>at his five years in Arizona, for the vast majority

0:11:37.640 --> 0:11:39.920
<v Speaker 1>of those five years he had three quarterbacks on the roster.

0:11:40.040 --> 0:11:41.720
<v Speaker 1>Some of that was because guys are getting hurt, but

0:11:41.840 --> 0:11:46.040
<v Speaker 1>that happens, so Um, I'm guessing we end up with three.

0:11:46.120 --> 0:11:47.920
<v Speaker 1>I would prefer and I think the team would prefer

0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 1>that it's too, but I don't know if that will

0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.160
<v Speaker 1>work out or not. One thing you could do is

0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:57.360
<v Speaker 1>keep two and if you like um, Nick fits Patrick,

0:11:58.720 --> 0:12:01.800
<v Speaker 1>what every time every time we're Ryan Fitzpatrick fitz We

0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:07.920
<v Speaker 1>kept going Ryan Fitzgerald last year and it wasn't so

0:12:08.040 --> 0:12:10.280
<v Speaker 1>if they like him enough and think maybe he could

0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>do something long run in this sort of Taysom Hill

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:15.559
<v Speaker 1>kind of versatile role, you can keep him. If you

0:12:15.600 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>can get him through waivers, you can keep them on

0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:19.640
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad, and that's your third quarterback, because if

0:12:19.640 --> 0:12:21.880
<v Speaker 1>you keep three quarterbacks on the active rusher, you're not

0:12:22.000 --> 0:12:24.360
<v Speaker 1>keeping the third one active on game day, So it

0:12:24.360 --> 0:12:27.000
<v Speaker 1>doesn't matter. It's not helping you. If two guys get

0:12:27.040 --> 0:12:29.400
<v Speaker 1>hurt either way, you're down to a non quarterback. So

0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:31.840
<v Speaker 1>if that happened, Oh guy gets hurt, you just bring

0:12:31.920 --> 0:12:33.360
<v Speaker 1>up your guy from the practice squad in the week

0:12:33.360 --> 0:12:36.520
<v Speaker 1>that follows. Okay, we've had several questions just about running

0:12:36.520 --> 0:12:39.000
<v Speaker 1>back overall. Someone whos asked if you thought we might

0:12:39.040 --> 0:12:41.720
<v Speaker 1>trade for somebody or stay put, and just overall how

0:12:41.800 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>you feel like that group is shaking out. And then

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>there's also a question I saw about what this coaching

0:12:46.600 --> 0:12:49.560
<v Speaker 1>staff sees in Peyton Barber as compared to maybe what

0:12:49.600 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>others have in the past, And just so overall running back.

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:55.200
<v Speaker 1>I figured we'd combined like eight of those questions in one.

0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.680
<v Speaker 1>I think you know, we have to with running backs.

0:12:57.720 --> 0:12:59.920
<v Speaker 1>I always say this every time we have to basic

0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:02.240
<v Speaker 1>go on what the coaches are saying right now, because

0:13:02.240 --> 0:13:04.240
<v Speaker 1>you can't tell a whole lot of practice when you

0:13:04.280 --> 0:13:07.439
<v Speaker 1>can't hit. I mean, every every run breaks through, right,

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:09.880
<v Speaker 1>Maybe you can see some fast cuts. Maybe you can

0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:12.640
<v Speaker 1>see some guys with with good hands. I think everybody's

0:13:12.640 --> 0:13:15.160
<v Speaker 1>pleased that Ron Jones seems to improve his hands. Um,

0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:17.839
<v Speaker 1>so maybe he can be more of a past catching back,

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:19.679
<v Speaker 1>which you'd really like him to be, because he's so

0:13:19.960 --> 0:13:21.599
<v Speaker 1>fast and dynamic that if you can get him the

0:13:21.600 --> 0:13:23.719
<v Speaker 1>ball on the edge, that's a great thing. And it's

0:13:23.760 --> 0:13:26.600
<v Speaker 1>something we didn't have in our offense last year. Really,

0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 1>I mean, do we throw the backs very much. I

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:30.400
<v Speaker 1>think we're hoping maybe Shawn Wilson could be that. Um,

0:13:30.480 --> 0:13:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Barber maybe isn't the guy you're gonna throw fifty

0:13:32.679 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>passes to on the on the edge, right, So, and

0:13:35.679 --> 0:13:38.480
<v Speaker 1>and Bruce Arians offenses in Arizona had a lot of that,

0:13:38.600 --> 0:13:40.960
<v Speaker 1>especially when David Johnson was at his peak. But David

0:13:41.000 --> 0:13:43.040
<v Speaker 1>Johnson is kind of a different animal. He's he's an

0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:46.480
<v Speaker 1>amazing player. But I'm pretty sure that the coaches that

0:13:46.559 --> 0:13:50.520
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians would like to have uh more passing to

0:13:50.600 --> 0:13:54.080
<v Speaker 1>the backs out of the backfield, and so if Ron

0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:56.800
<v Speaker 1>Jones can be that, or Seawan Wilson or somebody can

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.040
<v Speaker 1>be that, Andre Ellington he's done it before, Um, it

0:14:00.120 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>would be a very big improvement for our running back corps.

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:04.600
<v Speaker 1>But otherwise, all we can really go on is what

0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:06.920
<v Speaker 1>they're saying, and they've They've constantly said that they like

0:14:07.000 --> 0:14:10.439
<v Speaker 1>Peyton Barbera a lot. And then during the offseason, everybody

0:14:10.559 --> 0:14:13.560
<v Speaker 1>from James Winston to every coach you talked to was

0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.319
<v Speaker 1>raving about how much Round Jones looked more confident and

0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:18.800
<v Speaker 1>looked improved. I get it. Those are just words at

0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:20.440
<v Speaker 1>this point, and we'll know a little bit more in

0:14:20.480 --> 0:14:22.080
<v Speaker 1>training camp, and then we'll know a lot more when

0:14:22.120 --> 0:14:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the preseason games start again. This, I'd say, this is

0:14:25.040 --> 0:14:26.720
<v Speaker 1>kind of like the question about the secondary, where I'm

0:14:26.760 --> 0:14:28.920
<v Speaker 1>cautiously optimistic, but I understand they have to prove it

0:14:28.960 --> 0:14:31.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's certainly not a guarantee. Yeah, that's very true. Well,

0:14:31.280 --> 0:14:33.040
<v Speaker 1>thanks so much for being with us on this edition

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:35.440
<v Speaker 1>of Buccaneers Inside Are Live presented by Miller Lte. Again.

0:14:35.480 --> 0:14:36.880
<v Speaker 1>We won't have a show next week, but then we'll

0:14:36.880 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>be back the week after that and it will be

0:14:38.240 --> 0:14:40.440
<v Speaker 1>almost time for training camps to get all those questions

0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 1>ready for us, and we'll see you then
