WEBVTT - Rule Changes: How the NFL Will Look in 2024 | Bucs Insider | Tampa Bay Buccaneers 0:00:03.480 --> 0:00:06.520 Welcome into Bucks Insider, presented by Verizon Casey Phillips. Here 0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:09.040 was senior writer and editor Scott Smith, and we actually 0:00:09.039 --> 0:00:12.160 were in Orlando this week already for the annual league meetings. 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:13.480 A couple of nice drives on night Ford. 0:00:13.680 --> 0:00:15.760 Yes, who doesn't love doing that? Who doesn't love it? 0:00:15.800 --> 0:00:17.240 But you know, there's always a lot that comes out 0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:19.759 of it that's so interesting. You have owners voting, you 0:00:19.800 --> 0:00:21.520 have coaches and gms there for people to talk to. 0:00:21.600 --> 0:00:23.400 So we are going to get into that in a minute, 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:26.680 but we cannot go without mentioning the Levante David press 0:00:26.680 --> 0:00:28.639 conference last week. Again on the show last week we 0:00:28.720 --> 0:00:31.280 mentioned he had re signed, but the press conference hadn't 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:33.720 happened yet and there were just too many lovely things 0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.159 that his daughter, for instance. I mean, who doesn't want 0:00:36.240 --> 0:00:38.519 I want to get into every press conference. I think 0:00:38.520 --> 0:00:40.440 it should be a requirement, but there's one at every 0:00:40.440 --> 0:00:42.760 press conference. But we wanted to give you a listen 0:00:42.960 --> 0:00:45.560 to Jason Light and Levonte David talking at the press 0:00:45.560 --> 0:00:46.760 conference last week. 0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:49.839 For organization to you know, you know, draft me and 0:00:49.920 --> 0:00:52.400 I'll be able to you know, you know, have that 0:00:52.479 --> 0:00:54.480 faith in me, you know, give me a contract after 0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:57.200 three years, you know, just goes to show like how 0:00:57.200 --> 0:00:59.320 they feel about me. So it was only right that I, 0:00:59.360 --> 0:01:01.560 you know, rid it out to see you know how 0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:04.280 far it'stn't gonna go. And you know, you know, it's 0:01:04.319 --> 0:01:07.360 been a blessing and I'm thankful, you know, and we 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:08.160 got a Super Bowl. 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:10.160 I love it. So I'm definitely grateful for that. I mean, 0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:13.920 he is the He's the poster child literally for us. 0:01:13.920 --> 0:01:16.520 We have a picture of a silhouette of a buck 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:20.320 player in our draft room. Says, I am that man, 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:22.959 and this is the person that we want in a player, 0:01:23.200 --> 0:01:25.880 the traits that you just or some of them that 0:01:25.880 --> 0:01:28.280 we just said, and it's doesn't show his face, but 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:32.120 it is Levante. So he's the one that we that 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:33.959 we look for every year. He's the standard. 0:01:36.080 --> 0:01:38.120 I just love this idea of whatever it is that 0:01:38.200 --> 0:01:41.560 everybody watching does that your company, your friends, your family, 0:01:41.560 --> 0:01:45.160 that everyone would say things like you're the prototype for 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:47.760 this thing would be nice, Like what a compliment of 0:01:47.840 --> 0:01:51.040 Like as we look for future players, we want them 0:01:51.080 --> 0:01:53.840 to be Levante David's. And I think that every single 0:01:53.880 --> 0:01:56.640 person that is interacted with Levante at this facility as 0:01:56.680 --> 0:01:58.560 a fan in any capacity would agree. 0:01:58.360 --> 0:02:01.560 With that, and we were. That was no accident that 0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:03.040 they chose that. It wasn't just because it was a 0:02:03.040 --> 0:02:05.720 good picture or something like, we want Levonte David to 0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:07.440 be the guy we're staring at when we're deciding what's 0:02:07.440 --> 0:02:08.920 the next guy we want to bring to this team. 0:02:09.000 --> 0:02:09.480 It's amazing. 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:12.520 And then Levonte himself, how much I know Buck fans 0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:15.600 already love him deservedly so, but how much more do 0:02:15.639 --> 0:02:16.080 you love him? 0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:17.680 When you hear you know? 0:02:17.720 --> 0:02:19.280 I could have left it any time no one was 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:21.480 eight years, but that didn't feel right. I wanted to 0:02:21.520 --> 0:02:23.560 be there when we got I wanted to be part 0:02:23.560 --> 0:02:25.959 of turning it around rather than leaving, and he would 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:28.040 have felt like a quitter. Yeah, so I'm so glad 0:02:28.040 --> 0:02:29.160 it worked out for him, right. 0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:29.400 Of course. 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:31.520 Yeah, he absolutely has deserved the fact that now he 0:02:31.600 --> 0:02:33.280 does have the ring, he does have a little bit 0:02:33.280 --> 0:02:35.480 more national attention. We all know he deserves it and 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:38.720 Hall of Fame resume. We are not biased, but let 0:02:38.720 --> 0:02:41.120 me tell you, I think that we all know and 0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:44.000 agree that he is a Hall of Famer through and 0:02:44.040 --> 0:02:46.160 through on and off the field, just a wonderful guy. 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.440 We're so glad he's still around. 0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.280 We're so glad of all people to be able to 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:53.000 sign four new deals with him, which how does that 0:02:53.040 --> 0:02:56.160 does not happen often? Someone else signed a deal with 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:59.000 the Bucks. Again, we are continuing to dwindle down that 0:02:59.040 --> 0:03:02.080 free agency list a little bit. Zach Trinner, the long 0:03:02.080 --> 0:03:03.959 snapper re signed with the Bucks. Tell me a little 0:03:03.960 --> 0:03:05.320 bit about this and then what it means for how 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:07.480 many guys we still have on that Penning free agency. 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:10.200 Yes, obviously, right before freegency and right in the first 0:03:10.240 --> 0:03:12.280 few hours of it, the Bucks had their top priority 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.080 list and Mike Evans, Baker Mayfield all that, but you 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:16.600 know there were some other guys there on that list. 0:03:17.200 --> 0:03:20.240 Originally twenty three players if you count the guys that 0:03:20.280 --> 0:03:22.400 could have been restricted and exclusive rights for agents, and 0:03:22.480 --> 0:03:26.280 then Russell Gage's last year option was declined, so it 0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:27.960 ended up being a total of twenty three guys. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:28.440 And to this. 0:03:28.520 --> 0:03:31.120 Point you could see the list here. Four of them 0:03:31.120 --> 0:03:34.079 have found spots on new teams and seven of them remain. 0:03:34.320 --> 0:03:36.120 But the Buccaneers have brought back twelve of them. And 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.840 that's listed alphabetically. That's not in order of who I 0:03:38.840 --> 0:03:42.560 thought was most important. Antoina, of course, has a franchise tag, 0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:44.160 but they're working on a long term deal. 0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.839 So a lot of the work has been done. 0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.360 There's maybe a couple guys over here on the right 0:03:48.360 --> 0:03:50.200 hand column that still could come back. I wouldn't be 0:03:50.240 --> 0:03:54.080 surprised Will Golson, another lifelong buccaneer, Cam Gill, because you 0:03:54.080 --> 0:03:57.040 could always use more depth at that position. So, but 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.360 a lot of work done and it's pretty impressive. 0:03:59.480 --> 0:04:01.920 Yeah, is And that was something I know we got 0:04:01.960 --> 0:04:03.920 to hear a little bit of at the owner's meetings. 0:04:03.960 --> 0:04:05.960 You know that Todd Bowles and. 0:04:05.800 --> 0:04:08.120 Joel Glazer and a bunch of different people were talking 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:10.720 about the fact of what Jason Lyden his staff have 0:04:10.760 --> 0:04:12.800 been able to do bringing all these people back and 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.000 how amazing it has been. But also, of course one 0:04:15.000 --> 0:04:17.560 of the big takeaways of the annual meetings every year 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:20.160 are the potentials for rule changes. This is where they 0:04:20.200 --> 0:04:23.080 get voted on. So what was discussed, what was past 0:04:23.120 --> 0:04:23.480 this week? 0:04:23.560 --> 0:04:24.200 Yeah, there was a lot. 0:04:24.240 --> 0:04:25.680 Actually I'm not going to go through all of them, 0:04:25.680 --> 0:04:27.360 but I think i'll hit the ones that probably got 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:28.000 the most attention. 0:04:28.120 --> 0:04:29.480 One of them was the ban of the. 0:04:29.520 --> 0:04:31.600 Hip drop swivel tackle and got to get the word 0:04:31.600 --> 0:04:34.320 swivel in there, because that's one of there's like three 0:04:34.400 --> 0:04:36.120 parts of it that you have to do in order 0:04:36.160 --> 0:04:38.560 to draw the flag, and the most important one is 0:04:38.880 --> 0:04:41.240 they're calling a swivel, but it's the part where you've 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.600 grabbed the guy from behind and then you take all 0:04:43.640 --> 0:04:44.000 your weight. 0:04:44.040 --> 0:04:45.720 They say you unweight yourself. 0:04:46.200 --> 0:04:48.560 Basically, you're taking your feet off the ground, swilving your 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.400 hips and that causes all your body weight to bring 0:04:51.440 --> 0:04:54.080 down the ball carrier and you land on the back 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:57.920 of his legs, which has a disproportionate number of injuries. 0:04:57.960 --> 0:04:59.560 So that's why they wanted to get that playout of 0:04:59.600 --> 0:05:02.159 the game. You know, it's going to be interesting to 0:05:02.160 --> 0:05:05.120 see how this is officiated early on. It's of course important, 0:05:05.279 --> 0:05:07.919 and Jason Light said this that player safety is what 0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:09.960 that rules about, and that's of course very important. It's 0:05:09.960 --> 0:05:12.840 the same thing when they banned the horse callar tackle 0:05:12.880 --> 0:05:14.760 a few years back. To me, I can see this 0:05:14.839 --> 0:05:16.520 unfolding a little bit. You remember a couple of years 0:05:16.520 --> 0:05:18.720 ago when they decided to emphasize the part of the 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:21.360 roughing the passer rule where you couldn't land on them 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.400 with your full body weight, and for like the first 0:05:23.480 --> 0:05:25.680 five six seven weeks of the season, those flags were 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.840 everybody everywhere, and everybody was losing their minds. And then 0:05:28.880 --> 0:05:31.400 they kind of calmed it down, right, They kind of 0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:32.560 figured out how to call it right. 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.200 It wasn't happening three times a game. 0:05:35.000 --> 0:05:36.800 There was an egregious calls that you thought were bad, 0:05:36.800 --> 0:05:38.920 and so I think you'll probably have an adjustment period here, 0:05:38.960 --> 0:05:41.360 but in the long run, it's gonna make the game safer, 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:44.040 which is what everybody wants in the end, right. 0:05:44.160 --> 0:05:45.920 Yeah, And this is where I'm sure teams are going 0:05:45.960 --> 0:05:47.720 to be talking to their players too, if you know, 0:05:47.839 --> 0:05:50.160 this will be a point of emphasis, especially in these 0:05:50.200 --> 0:05:51.599 early weeks, So don't do it. 0:05:51.680 --> 0:05:53.839 Yeah, And Todd Bowles's reaction to it was, it's not 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:55.599 really a big problem for us because we don't tackle 0:05:55.600 --> 0:05:57.400 that way. We don't teach it, we don't preach it, 0:05:57.440 --> 0:05:59.400 we don't practice. Of course, you really don't practice tackling 0:05:59.440 --> 0:06:03.039 at all, but you definitely wouldn't practice that technique. So 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:04.679 he doesn't think it's going to be a big adjustment 0:06:04.720 --> 0:06:06.840 for the Buccaneers. I'd say one of the other really 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.960 big rules was the new kickoff that they're going to try. 0:06:10.000 --> 0:06:10.919 It's one of those rules. 0:06:10.920 --> 0:06:13.320 They approve it for one year and see how it goes, 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:14.719 and then they can make it permanent after that. 0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:16.240 Because this is a massive change. 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:18.720 I explained most of it last week when we were 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:21.240 talking about the stuff they were going to discuss. But 0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.400 the big thing is there's a landing zone from the 0:06:23.440 --> 0:06:25.279 goal line to the twenty where that's where you're trying 0:06:25.320 --> 0:06:28.080 to hit. They did change one little alteration this week. 0:06:28.400 --> 0:06:31.200 If you get a touch back in the end zone, 0:06:31.240 --> 0:06:33.280 like flies all the way into the end zone, the 0:06:33.360 --> 0:06:35.640 ball comes out to the thirty They previously said thirty five, 0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:37.760 So it's a little less punitive if you want to 0:06:37.800 --> 0:06:41.200 just keep kicking touchbacks and not worry about returns. 0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:43.080 This is going to be really interesting and I just 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:44.800 I can't wait to see all the ways this will 0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:49.000 affect a team's strategy players they keep, because you know, 0:06:49.080 --> 0:06:52.360 even the idea of special teamers that they almost make 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.600 the roster purely for their special team skills, is that 0:06:55.680 --> 0:06:56.960 more of a thing less of a thing? Does it 0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.480 change the body type the type of player that is 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:02.320 your protote typical one? Is speed less important than just 0:07:02.880 --> 0:07:06.280 short field tackling ability. I just is your punter is 0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.320 your kicker, the one kicking off. I just I think 0:07:08.320 --> 0:07:09.640 it's going to be fascinating. 0:07:09.800 --> 0:07:11.600 We have a lot of answers ahead of us. But 0:07:12.480 --> 0:07:14.760 said you mentioned, like the how you put a roster together. 0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.160 One little thing that Todd Bowles pointed out when somebody asked, 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:19.600 you know, do you want to find more options as 0:07:19.600 --> 0:07:23.440 a return man and he said, well yeah, because on 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:26.080 kickoff now you have to have nine men from the 0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.600 return team at the thirty five. But you can have 0:07:28.680 --> 0:07:30.880 two return men and you don't want to let the 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:32.720 ball we talk about this last week. You don't want 0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:35.400 to let the kick hit in the landing zone then 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:37.040 go into the end zone because then it's a touch 0:07:37.080 --> 0:07:39.160 back to the twenty. So I think it's likely that 0:07:39.200 --> 0:07:41.600 people will put two returnment back and have him split 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:44.200 the field. And so you want two guys you're comfortable 0:07:44.240 --> 0:07:47.360 return like last year Devin Tompkins literally handled every single 0:07:47.360 --> 0:07:49.480 punt and kickoff return for the Bucks. You got to 0:07:49.480 --> 0:07:51.400 have another guy that you're confident in to put back there. 0:07:51.440 --> 0:07:52.080 So that's interesting. 0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:53.280 That will be interesting, all right. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.640 And then you mentioned Todd holes speaking that that's part 0:07:55.680 --> 0:07:58.480 of these annual meetings as they have a coach's breakfast. 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:00.880 They split it up AFC NFC into different rooms and 0:08:00.920 --> 0:08:03.320 every coach is given a table and then the media, 0:08:03.360 --> 0:08:05.000 whoever wants to listen to them, kind of goes and 0:08:05.040 --> 0:08:07.280 surrounds that table and gets to hear from that coach. So, 0:08:07.720 --> 0:08:09.560 I know you were there listening to Todd Bowles and 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.280 his speech. What did you learn from that? 0:08:11.360 --> 0:08:13.840 Sci You know, a thirty minute interviews is a really 0:08:13.880 --> 0:08:16.040 long interview. So by the end of it, someone who. 0:08:17.600 --> 0:08:20.320 Coach, he used to be an hour, literally an hour, 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:22.320 so many questions. 0:08:21.960 --> 0:08:23.560 And well it gets to the point where people are 0:08:23.560 --> 0:08:25.280 cycling around and they come back and they ask a 0:08:25.360 --> 0:08:26.680 question that's already been asked before. 0:08:26.720 --> 0:08:27.280 But whatever. 0:08:27.480 --> 0:08:30.400 In thirty minutes you cover a lot and so we 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.439 Todd hit on a lot of different parts of the team. 0:08:33.720 --> 0:08:35.640 A couple minus stood out for me. We've already talked 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.040 about Jordan Whitehead and his return and how much how 0:08:38.040 --> 0:08:39.960 good that is for the Buccaneers. But another point he 0:08:40.000 --> 0:08:43.760 made was Jordan's a really good communicator and and you know, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.839 not that Antoine isn't back there, but when the two 0:08:46.840 --> 0:08:48.760 of them played together, Jordan was the more vocal the 0:08:48.800 --> 0:08:50.600 two in terms of getting people into place, and so 0:08:50.679 --> 0:08:52.199 now Todd feels like. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:54.120 He's got a really good communicator at all three levels. 0:08:54.160 --> 0:08:56.640 And Beata Bay up front, Levante David in the middle, 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.320 and Jordan white Head back there at back. 0:08:58.360 --> 0:08:59.160 So that's interesting. 0:08:59.280 --> 0:09:01.160 Yeah, And then I know, you know, we always love 0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:02.599 talking about edge and corners. 0:09:02.920 --> 0:09:04.679 Those are our little soap boxes of how you can 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:07.240 never have too much depth. What did he mention about 0:09:07.280 --> 0:09:08.120 those two positions. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.040 Well, the addresser position. Of course, you had the tough 0:09:11.080 --> 0:09:13.360 decision of letting Shack go and he's now with the Dolphins, 0:09:13.360 --> 0:09:16.400 and so clearly you know you need somebody at least 0:09:16.440 --> 0:09:19.680 for those snaps at the very least. I think the 0:09:19.720 --> 0:09:21.800 way Todd sort of thread the kneels like, yeah, of 0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:23.640 course that's something we could look to add at. 0:09:23.640 --> 0:09:25.760 But we do like the depth that we have. 0:09:26.120 --> 0:09:28.520 And he mentioned two guys that maybe don't immediately come 0:09:28.520 --> 0:09:30.480 to mind for Bucks fans when they're thinking about what 0:09:30.520 --> 0:09:34.600 that rotation is, and that's Marquise Watts and Jose Ramirez. Now, 0:09:34.640 --> 0:09:37.320 Marquis Watts made the team as an undrafted free agent, 0:09:37.360 --> 0:09:39.000 had a couple of nice moments during the season, but 0:09:39.000 --> 0:09:40.319 really didn't see a ton of playing time. 0:09:40.360 --> 0:09:41.640 But I think they like his development. 0:09:41.920 --> 0:09:43.959 And then Jose Ramirez was the six round draft pick 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:46.800 who actually spent the season on the practice squad, but 0:09:46.840 --> 0:09:50.560 he's still around and he resigned, and so he said, 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.560 they're really high on both of those guys. So we'll 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.360 have to see how that impulse, but it's interesting. And 0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:56.640 then as far as the corners, he was talking about 0:09:56.640 --> 0:09:58.960 the two new ones that the Bucks signed, Bryce Hall 0:09:59.400 --> 0:10:03.439 and todby Thomas, and he just explained that both those guys, 0:10:03.440 --> 0:10:06.160 like TAVIERI says, is a very tough guy. He can 0:10:06.200 --> 0:10:08.719 play in the nickel, he can be an option there, 0:10:08.760 --> 0:10:10.360 and he's also probably going to be a really core 0:10:10.400 --> 0:10:12.920 special teamer. And then Bryce Hall is a guy they've liked. 0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:15.079 Had some injuries early in his career, but they've liked 0:10:15.080 --> 0:10:15.920 his tape for a while. 0:10:15.960 --> 0:10:16.200 Now. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:17.719 He can play a little outside, he can play a 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.120 little slot and maybe even a little safety. So these 0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.360 are a couple more guys that fit into that mold 0:10:22.400 --> 0:10:24.800 of the very versatile defensive back that the Bucks obviously like. 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:26.960 And then I know, of course Tod Goles is gonna 0:10:26.960 --> 0:10:28.760 ask answer a lot of things about the defense. 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:30.040 That's kind of his thing. 0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:32.439 But I know He also talked about Rashad White and 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:34.480 what we've seen from him leading up to this point 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:35.719 and what they expect from him this year. 0:10:35.720 --> 0:10:36.240 What did you learn? 0:10:36.360 --> 0:10:39.240 Yeah, I think we all enjoyed the development of Rashad 0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.240 White last year in his first year as the full 0:10:41.280 --> 0:10:43.679 time starter and really one of the few bell kyw 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:47.160 backs in the NFL who handled like eighty five percent 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:50.800 of what you did in the backfield. And Todd said 0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:52.920 he really developed as a runner as the season went 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.839 along because he did a better job of understanding where 0:10:55.880 --> 0:10:56.920 his cutback lanes. 0:10:56.720 --> 0:10:57.280 Were going to be. 0:10:57.760 --> 0:11:01.640 Instead of waiting to see them, he hit them quicker 0:11:02.040 --> 0:11:05.000 and before they could close. And that's why if you 0:11:05.040 --> 0:11:08.199 look at now his pass catching numbers throughout the season, 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:10.320 we're very consistent. That was a good addition all along. 0:11:10.360 --> 0:11:13.440 But in the this is including the postseason. First ten 0:11:13.480 --> 0:11:15.320 games of the season, you see he was averaging forty 0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.600 five point nine yards per game and three point three 0:11:17.640 --> 0:11:19.760 per carre, which is not great. And we were talking 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:21.600 about that at mid season, how the running game still 0:11:21.640 --> 0:11:24.240 wasn't going great. And then as he started to see 0:11:24.240 --> 0:11:26.680 those lanes better, you see seventy three point one yards 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:29.160 per game and four point two, which is totally acceptable, 0:11:29.160 --> 0:11:30.600 and if you could get that for a full season, 0:11:30.640 --> 0:11:31.560 you'd probably be pretty. 0:11:31.320 --> 0:11:31.840 Happy with that. 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:33.360 Yeah, I think that's very accurate. 0:11:33.600 --> 0:11:35.160 It always makes me think of the quote you always 0:11:35.160 --> 0:11:37.440 hear of a Peyton Manning talking about how he was 0:11:37.480 --> 0:11:41.160 taught like what open was in the NFL row and 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.559 how it's like you have to predict it being open, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:46.200 and that the tenth of a second of a window 0:11:46.320 --> 0:11:48.839 is open. And it feels similarly with the running back 0:11:49.040 --> 0:11:51.640 and how you diagnose those lanes that if you already 0:11:51.640 --> 0:11:52.600 see it. 0:11:52.240 --> 0:11:53.960 It's too late, it's going to be closed. Yeah, time 0:11:54.040 --> 0:11:54.679 ball gets there yet. 0:11:54.760 --> 0:11:55.320 Yeah, that's interesting. 0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.360 All right, Well, that's going to do it for us 0:11:56.360 --> 0:11:58.400 on this edition of Buccaneers in Cider. We'll see you 0:11:58.400 --> 0:11:58.880 next week.
