Inside are live presented by Miller like 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.400 Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here and this is where, 0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:14.480 as always we answer your questions, talk about all of 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:17.040 the thoughts, commons, things that are on your mind, especially 0:00:17.040 --> 0:00:19.320 this time of year when it is all the speculation. 0:00:19.560 --> 0:00:21.919 This is when the show is really based on a 0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.200 lot of y'all's questions and what you want to talk about. 0:00:24.239 --> 0:00:26.279 So if you're not already watching on Facebook, head on 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:28.720 over there, leave your questions in the comment section of 0:00:28.760 --> 0:00:31.320 our live video. Where you're from? Yeah, tells where you're from. 0:00:31.320 --> 0:00:34.160 We always love hearing that and where people are watching from. Um, 0:00:34.240 --> 0:00:35.920 so as we get people chance to start submitting some 0:00:35.960 --> 0:00:39.280 of those questions. Uh. Two things sort of developments since 0:00:39.479 --> 0:00:42.080 our last show. Uh One is that we know Drew 0:00:42.080 --> 0:00:44.080 Brees is gonna return with the Saints and the others 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:46.600 that we actually got to hear from Bruce arians this 0:00:46.680 --> 0:00:48.800 last week after you know, once the season ends usually 0:00:48.800 --> 0:00:51.880 there's a kind of prolonged period of no access to 0:00:51.880 --> 0:00:53.760 to those guys. So let's start with Bruce. What were 0:00:53.800 --> 0:00:54.960 some of the things you guys talked to him about 0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:56.760 in any insights or things that came from fact. I'm 0:00:56.760 --> 0:00:58.640 not sure i'd label that as a development because it 0:00:58.720 --> 0:01:01.800 was basically the oposite of a development. You know, it's 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:06.240 funny in this period when something like this happens and 0:01:06.800 --> 0:01:09.639 the general public probably thinks, oh, he did Drewce decided 0:01:09.640 --> 0:01:11.720 to come out and say something about these topics for 0:01:11.760 --> 0:01:14.080 the first time in like six weeks. Well, it wasn't 0:01:14.080 --> 0:01:16.840 really that. What happens is your coach, your GM just 0:01:16.880 --> 0:01:18.839 happens to be available at some event, and the media 0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:20.480 is aware of it, and they're doing their jobs, and 0:01:20.480 --> 0:01:21.800 they go there and if they get a chance to 0:01:21.840 --> 0:01:23.759 talk to him, they asked the questions they haven't got 0:01:23.760 --> 0:01:25.959 to ask in six weeks, so they did. But as 0:01:25.959 --> 0:01:28.360 it turns out, most of what Bruce said was the 0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.520 exact same thing he said six weeks ago. And he said, 0:01:30.680 --> 0:01:33.080 nothing's really changed, and he repeated one of the lines 0:01:33.120 --> 0:01:35.360 he said back then, which gets a lot of play, 0:01:35.360 --> 0:01:38.400 And that's basically too paraphrase, what's behind door number two? 0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:41.640 And that's in reference to what are the Buccaneers going 0:01:41.680 --> 0:01:43.319 to do? What do they want to do with quarterback 0:01:43.400 --> 0:01:47.000 Jamis Winston? And what's behind door number two means what 0:01:47.080 --> 0:01:49.480 other options are out there, and it is important to 0:01:49.520 --> 0:01:51.559 know that. I don't think anybody would think a team 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400 was doing their due diligence on deciding what direction to 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:57.600 go with their potential franchise quarterback or some other if 0:01:57.640 --> 0:02:00.160 they don't have a good comparison. It's not necessary really 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.680 a slight to Jamis or a vote for Jamis. It's 0:02:03.720 --> 0:02:05.760 the thing that a team should do. And until you 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:07.800 know for sure who's going to be available, and until 0:02:07.800 --> 0:02:10.000 you get to talk to some of them, you know, 0:02:10.120 --> 0:02:12.200 you can't really put all the pieces together. Yeah we 0:02:12.280 --> 0:02:13.920 know now, like you said that Drew Brees is not 0:02:13.919 --> 0:02:15.960 going to be available, not think but he thought he 0:02:16.000 --> 0:02:18.480 was coming here. But does the fact that Drew Brees 0:02:19.000 --> 0:02:21.399 is definitely coming back mean Teddy Bridgewater is more likely 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:24.119 to leave? As an example, so I would think so, yeah, 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:26.200 And I think that seems to be the assumption the 0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.720 way everyone's talking about it is just that he isn't 0:02:29.080 --> 0:02:31.840 definitely not coming back, that Bridgewater will move on that 0:02:31.880 --> 0:02:34.720 he would think. I mean, he made seven and a 0:02:34.760 --> 0:02:36.680 half million, I think to be a backup last year. 0:02:36.720 --> 0:02:39.359 But you look at projections, what if some team wants 0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.760 to pay million to be at a starter, right, he 0:02:41.880 --> 0:02:43.760 tells me he's going to take that. Yeah, especially when 0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.160 the Saints still have Taysom Hill. It's not like they're 0:02:46.160 --> 0:02:47.440 all of a sudden like, oh man, we don't have 0:02:47.440 --> 0:02:51.200 a backup that they view him as a very viable backup. So, um, 0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:53.079 and he's a restricted free agents so they have a 0:02:53.080 --> 0:02:55.280 pretty good chance of keeping him right, which is a 0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.200 great point. Um, We've got a lot of people chiming 0:02:57.200 --> 0:02:58.840 in with where they're listening and watching and from, which 0:02:58.880 --> 0:03:01.440 is cool. We got Kansas City, We've got Puerto Rico. 0:03:01.680 --> 0:03:03.560 So a Bucks fan in Kansas City right now, I 0:03:03.600 --> 0:03:05.560 guess yeah, it's probably gonna be pretty miserable having to 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:09.399 watch all of that Puerto Rico. We've got Georgia, Kentucky, um, 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:12.680 North Carolina, Texas, a whole bunch of really fun places, 0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.080 which is awesome. You could just make it up, that's 0:03:15.080 --> 0:03:17.360 also true. Well, we've definitely had people do that the past, 0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.359 considering somebody I think at one point hit Antarctica and 0:03:19.639 --> 0:03:24.000 really sure that wasn't t yes, Nathan asked do you 0:03:24.000 --> 0:03:26.560 think we could get Bridgewater? So as we were discussing that, 0:03:27.240 --> 0:03:29.840 I mean, well, I mean seriously, though, when you start 0:03:30.639 --> 0:03:32.840 and that's if you can answer that question making the 0:03:32.840 --> 0:03:35.520 presumption that the Bucks are not going to resign Jamus Right, So, 0:03:36.320 --> 0:03:38.320 how many teams are going to be looking for a 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:40.800 quarterback and are going to be in the in the 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:43.280 business of paying in the position to pay somebody a 0:03:43.360 --> 0:03:47.520 veteran moving teams twenty million dollars. There's not a ton 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:49.200 of them really when you look at it. So if 0:03:49.240 --> 0:03:51.400 Teddy Bridgewater is looking for a place to start, and 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:53.800 if it becomes clear that the Buccaneers are not going 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:56.160 to continue forward, jamis and I would think this would 0:03:56.160 --> 0:04:01.280 become one of the top destinations that these quarterbacks would 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:02.920 be looking at, especially when you consider who you're going 0:04:02.960 --> 0:04:04.360 to get to throw the ball to. Right, I mean, 0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:06.000 I would think any quarterback would want to come here 0:04:06.000 --> 0:04:08.839 and throw it to Mike and Chris and O Jane. Yeah. 0:04:08.840 --> 0:04:11.240 I can't imagine any quarterback being like, no, that does 0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:14.800 sound fun. Um Austin asked, is it possible to afford 0:04:14.800 --> 0:04:17.600 Shack and trade for Jamal Adams. I think that would 0:04:17.600 --> 0:04:19.600 really put the defense over the top. What are your thoughts? 0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.800 He said? Also, I'm from Martinsburg, West Virginia, only fan around, 0:04:23.520 --> 0:04:26.560 so we get to resign check, but we also get 0:04:26.560 --> 0:04:28.279 to trade for one of the best safeties in the league. 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:32.080 That'd be great. Yeah, it's possible to afford it. Um, 0:04:32.200 --> 0:04:36.840 you know, you're probably making a priority decision there though, 0:04:36.839 --> 0:04:39.360 because it's probably not possible to do that and get 0:04:39.440 --> 0:04:42.120 Jamal Items and bring back all of your all the 0:04:42.160 --> 0:04:45.000 other potential defensive free agents like in Diamond Ensue and 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:47.320 Jason Pierre Paul and I know we Bruce Arians would 0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:50.520 definitely like to have all those players back as if 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.880 he could. And in any case, are the Jets really 0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:55.320 gonna trade Jamal Items? I mean, are we just gonna 0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:57.480 start picking guys out that. Yeah, we forget that. There 0:04:57.480 --> 0:04:58.800 has to be the other half of where they have 0:04:58.839 --> 0:05:00.920 to be willing to get rid of this person, and 0:05:01.200 --> 0:05:02.880 that's probably not something they want to do well. I 0:05:02.880 --> 0:05:04.960 mean there obviously there was some talk about that during 0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:06.680 the season, which is why somebody would bring it up. 0:05:06.680 --> 0:05:09.760 But I would suspect he stays. But it's it's like 0:05:09.800 --> 0:05:12.120 with anything with trades, it's always easy to talk about 0:05:12.120 --> 0:05:13.800 like our end of it of what we want to do, 0:05:13.880 --> 0:05:16.960 and the same thing even with the draft of you know, well, 0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.120 can we trade down, It's like Yeah, you gotta have 0:05:19.160 --> 0:05:21.560 someone that's willing to do the other part. I mean, yeah, 0:05:21.600 --> 0:05:23.640 let's go ahead and resign Shack and trade for Jamal 0:05:23.640 --> 0:05:25.800 and maybe you get J J. Wattmaole. We're at it 0:05:26.560 --> 0:05:31.400 like I like I was coming together. Yeah. Sean asked 0:05:31.440 --> 0:05:34.040 what we drafted running back this year. I'd say there's 0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:37.159 a good shot. I would be surprised if it's in 0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:40.200 the first round. Um. I think we've talked about this 0:05:40.240 --> 0:05:43.240 a lot with some with some exceptions in recent years, 0:05:43.279 --> 0:05:45.400 like just the guys that are expected to be really 0:05:45.400 --> 0:05:49.839 elite workhorses like Ezekiel Elliott and Leonard Fournette. Um, the 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:52.200 running backs aren't going as high as they used to 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.440 write UM because they're considered assets you can get like 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.800 Alvin Kamar in the third round. Guys like that, right, 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:02.040 And so teams go into it thinking we can use 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:03.680 our first round pick on something else, because we do 0:06:03.720 --> 0:06:05.240 think there's a good chance of getting one in the 0:06:05.279 --> 0:06:07.200 second or the third round. But yeah, that seems like 0:06:07.240 --> 0:06:08.800 something the Bucks could definitely do with one of their 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.240 Day two or three picks. Um Scott said he's watching 0:06:12.240 --> 0:06:15.480 from New Mexico and yep, and he's uh, he asked, 0:06:15.560 --> 0:06:18.400 isn't Philip Rivers just an older Jamis? So as a 0:06:18.400 --> 0:06:20.440 lot of people have asked about Philip Rivers and how 0:06:20.480 --> 0:06:22.320 he would fit here and whether you'd want him over. 0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.039 I can get it. I get it. Everybody saying the 0:06:24.040 --> 0:06:27.920 same thing because um he I guess Philip Rivers had 0:06:27.960 --> 0:06:31.400 the third most interceptions in the league with twenty um. 0:06:31.440 --> 0:06:34.000 But they're not the same player. I mean that everybody 0:06:34.160 --> 0:06:36.599 since we got Jamis wanted to say that Jamis was 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.039 just a younger Ben Roethlisberger. But they're not really the 0:06:39.080 --> 0:06:41.200 same player. I get the point, though. I think the 0:06:41.240 --> 0:06:44.320 point is, do you if you're moving on from Jameis Winston, 0:06:44.360 --> 0:06:47.120 it's not because he threw yards and thirty touchdowns, it's 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:50.040 because of all the turnovers, right, And if you're moving on, 0:06:50.480 --> 0:06:52.640 do you then want to sign a new quarterback but 0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:56.240 over an older one, uh, who's probably beyond his peak, 0:06:56.640 --> 0:06:59.040 who also last year turned the ball over a lot. 0:06:59.120 --> 0:07:01.640 So I understand, but they're not the same guy. Yeah, 0:07:02.040 --> 0:07:05.279 um Seawan asked, what is taking so long to sign Shock, 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:07.880 Sue or JPP? So let's talk about it all, just 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:09.640 the timeline of some of that stuff. It was, we've 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.600 talked about this a couple of times. Just to be 0:07:11.680 --> 0:07:12.960 sure I was right about this, I went back and 0:07:13.000 --> 0:07:15.280 looked at our transaction logs from like the last ten years, 0:07:15.400 --> 0:07:17.280 and there's always a couple of guys you're trying to 0:07:17.320 --> 0:07:19.920 resign before the start of free agency. Free agency, right, 0:07:20.880 --> 0:07:24.120 Almost every one of those happened in March, and most 0:07:24.120 --> 0:07:26.560 of them were really close to the start of free agency, 0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.720 and some of them were even on the day of 0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:30.840 or a couple of days after. And in the case 0:07:30.880 --> 0:07:33.960 of say Shack, you potentially could use the franchise tag 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:37.360 and extend those negotiations for weeks after the start of 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:40.200 free agency. And so you've got two sides here that 0:07:40.280 --> 0:07:42.320 are trying to meet in a middle in a middle 0:07:42.320 --> 0:07:46.200 ground that works for both And as he absolutely should, 0:07:46.560 --> 0:07:48.200 Shaq is going to try to get as much in 0:07:48.240 --> 0:07:50.640 his contract as you can, and the Bucks, as they 0:07:50.640 --> 0:07:52.240 absolutely should, are going to try to make it as 0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.760 affordable for them as they can. And so it takes 0:07:54.760 --> 0:07:56.360 a while. You know, you're not gonna Shacks just not 0:07:56.400 --> 0:07:58.000 gonna take the first deal of Bucks went on the 0:07:58.000 --> 0:07:59.640 table or the first number they throw out there, and 0:07:59.680 --> 0:08:03.119 probably vice versus. So these things tend to be driven 0:08:03.120 --> 0:08:04.760 by deadlines, is the way I would put it. So 0:08:04.800 --> 0:08:07.000 that's why we're not hearing anything. You if you look 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.480 back at all these types of transactions, you're not going 0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:11.920 to find a single one on what's today, December eighteen, 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:16.640 You're not gonna find one. I was like, you're definitely 0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:21.280 not going to find him December exactly. Umaun Christmas, Yes, 0:08:21.840 --> 0:08:23.920 better get out there in hurry. Chauncey said, Um, are 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.040 we going to address offensive line in the draft early? 0:08:28.920 --> 0:08:30.320 I think it's a good idea. And I've said that 0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:32.480 a couple of times. Uh. And if by early, I 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:35.520 hope that means first round. Um, there is a good 0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.680 offensive tackle in particular depth in this draft, to the 0:08:38.720 --> 0:08:41.640 point where there's probably gonna be one or two guys 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:44.400 that would normally be a top ten pick who are 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:46.480 available at fourteen, which is where the Bucks are just 0:08:46.480 --> 0:08:48.360 start the first round. And if you look at a 0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:50.480 lot of mock drafts, you see a lot of that 0:08:50.640 --> 0:08:52.840 trust and worse from Iowa being one of them. You know, 0:08:52.880 --> 0:08:58.960 there's there's just McKay Beckton Will's um Anthony Thomas I 0:08:58.960 --> 0:09:02.400 think is from Georgia. Uh. Yeah, there's a lot of 0:09:02.480 --> 0:09:06.079 there's a lot of them. Austin Jackson from usc UH 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:09.480 probably'll they'll start to um shake out a little bit 0:09:09.520 --> 0:09:11.640 in terms of the expected order that they'll go after 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.120 the combine. But no, I think it's a really good idea. 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.120 And I feel like that's reassuring when there are that 0:09:16.160 --> 0:09:18.640 many names all at the same position that especially even 0:09:18.640 --> 0:09:22.640 have been mocked to us, that it shows that it's 0:09:22.640 --> 0:09:25.760 not like there's one guy that's right, that's the only 0:09:25.880 --> 0:09:27.920 viable one. Like if you're gonna want and you know 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:30.000 an offensive lineman, you better hope you get him or 0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:32.040 that's it. If they're that many guys, I feel like 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.080 that's a great sign. Yeah. I would contrast that with 0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:36.000 another player that the Bucks are getting a lot in 0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:39.280 mock drafts is South Carolina defensive tackle. I guess we'd 0:09:39.280 --> 0:09:42.040 call him a defensive lineman in our defense, Javon kind Law. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:46.760 And in that case, I think Auburn's Derrick Brown is 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.080 expected to go really high. But after that, he's clearly 0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.560 the next guy on everybody's board and there's not a 0:09:51.559 --> 0:09:54.400 lot of other ones, so um, that one makes it. 0:09:54.440 --> 0:09:55.960 You'll see that in a lot of mock drafts, and 0:09:55.960 --> 0:09:57.200 that it seems to me like that would be a 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.240 good pick, But I also think it's less likely because 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.679 you only need one Sam in front of us to 0:10:02.120 --> 0:10:05.120 really want an interior defensive lineman to make that not happen. 0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.280 Richard is watching from California, and he asked, who your 0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:12.600 favorite draft prospect is that would potentially be the best 0:10:12.600 --> 0:10:14.719 fit for the Bucks. Well, I guess we're going to 0:10:14.840 --> 0:10:17.360 say that we could actually get right, because if you can, 0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:19.520 if I can say anybody, i'd want to Chase Young, 0:10:20.080 --> 0:10:22.439 or even if you're if you're deciding to make a 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:24.920 change of quarterback Joe Burrow right, so we're talking realistic. 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:28.439 I really like the idea of I gotta get this right. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.679 I keep saying it wrong. Calivan, Clive and Chase on 0:10:31.960 --> 0:10:36.079 the l s u uh edge Rusher. Um, this could 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.760 depend upon what happens. I mean, even if you get 0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:41.520 Shack back, you still could use another one. But if 0:10:41.520 --> 0:10:43.960 you resign Shack and JPP and maybe even Carl Nasson, 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:45.920 then that's probably not a big need. But I really 0:10:45.920 --> 0:10:48.319 do like that prospect a lot. I think I think 0:10:48.320 --> 0:10:50.160 there's a lot of room for him to grow. He's 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:52.480 got a lot of talent. Um I know he didn't 0:10:52.520 --> 0:10:54.600 have huge numbers last year, but he was really coming 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:56.040 on at the end of the year, and I just 0:10:56.080 --> 0:10:59.640 think that's a guy that could really grow into even 0:10:59.640 --> 0:11:02.400 better lier than news right now. I saw that, Um 0:11:02.440 --> 0:11:04.520 it was I think John and Cameron and a few 0:11:04.520 --> 0:11:07.199 different people brought up justin Herbert, if there's a possibility 0:11:07.200 --> 0:11:09.160 that that's someone we either could get and would want 0:11:09.200 --> 0:11:12.679 to probably have to trade up for that, I would think, Um, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.080 you know, I keep saying if you look at mock drafts, 0:11:15.080 --> 0:11:16.920 and yes, mock drafts are just mock drafts are just 0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:21.760 somebody's guesses, but uh, and if you look at them, 0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:25.120 you'll see him usually going in top ten, mayven, top five. 0:11:25.200 --> 0:11:27.840 You know, if if if he goes before to uh 0:11:28.200 --> 0:11:30.760 or if even there's three quarterbacks in the top five 0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:33.480 and then and what makes me think that will happen 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:35.280 or something like that will happen is and we've talked 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:38.559 about this many times in recent years, the quarterbacks tend 0:11:38.600 --> 0:11:42.560 to rise to get closer, right because teams, that's if 0:11:42.559 --> 0:11:45.800 you're gonna make a big investment in a quarterback, you 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:47.800 probably have to do it high in the draft, right. 0:11:47.840 --> 0:11:50.360 And so if you even if you're picking ten and 0:11:50.400 --> 0:11:53.360 you're hoping a guy will fall to to you. You 0:11:53.400 --> 0:11:55.199 can't take that risk, so you trade up. So it 0:11:55.720 --> 0:11:57.240 and in the end it tends to be that the 0:11:57.280 --> 0:12:00.480 quarterbacks that are highly regarded rise. So when I see 0:12:00.559 --> 0:12:03.840 Justin Herbert going in the top five and most drafts, 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:06.960 makes me think it's definitely gonna be at least that high. Right, Yeah, 0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:09.880 that's they rarely fall and it has happened, but it 0:12:09.880 --> 0:12:14.679 doesn't happen. It doesn't happen very often. Um Brandon is 0:12:14.720 --> 0:12:16.720 watching from d C and asked if there's any chance 0:12:16.720 --> 0:12:22.400 we make a run at Melvin Gordon. Yeah, I guess. Um, Again, 0:12:23.800 --> 0:12:26.559 I would think Melvin Gordon would would command a pretty 0:12:26.559 --> 0:12:29.440 big salary, a pretty big contract for running back, and 0:12:30.400 --> 0:12:32.599 he's had some good years in San Diego. But I 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:35.080 don't even even thinking it necessarily has the track record 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.920 of say Todd Gurley when Ted Gurley got his big 0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:40.439 new deal, and obviously that one hasn't really worked out 0:12:40.480 --> 0:12:43.800 that well. Um, if we were to sign a clearly 0:12:43.800 --> 0:12:46.160 talented running back like Melvin Gordon, I would be excited 0:12:46.200 --> 0:12:48.000 about it. I'm sure a lot of people would be too, 0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:51.960 But I just still continue to question the wisdom of 0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.640 big contracts for running backs because it doesn't seem like 0:12:55.679 --> 0:12:58.520 they work out as often as they should. Um Matt 0:12:58.559 --> 0:13:01.400 asked after Shack, who is the highest priority to resign 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:05.640 on defense? Is it my decision or what the team 0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:09.480 actually thinks. Yeah, I was gonna say, I don't think 0:13:09.480 --> 0:13:12.160 you know the answer necessary. I would think it comes 0:13:12.200 --> 0:13:15.560 down to um In Dominan Sue versus j PP. And 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:17.319 it might be hard if you're also getting shocked to 0:13:17.400 --> 0:13:20.160 keep all three. If you're asking me, since you're already 0:13:20.160 --> 0:13:21.920 going to be investing in the edge rusher in Shack 0:13:21.960 --> 0:13:23.880 and you could maybe even draft one in the draft 0:13:24.400 --> 0:13:26.839 in Dominican, Sue would be the one I'd go after next. 0:13:27.160 --> 0:13:30.600 Um it's just the way he solidified that front, how 0:13:30.600 --> 0:13:32.480 well he worked with Vida Va and Will Gooleston, how 0:13:32.520 --> 0:13:35.760 great our run defense was, how often he commanded double teams. 0:13:36.000 --> 0:13:37.960 That's not just me saying that, there's stats out there 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:40.560 of how often he was double teamed, which helps everybody 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:44.080 else get favorable matchups and really helped the pass rush 0:13:44.120 --> 0:13:45.960 we we ended up with. Yeah, I know, he only 0:13:45.960 --> 0:13:48.280 had what two and a sacks something like that, I think, 0:13:48.559 --> 0:13:50.800 but the team ended up with forty seven sacks, which 0:13:50.840 --> 0:13:52.560 is the second most we've ever had in a season. 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.800 So I think he was a big part of that, 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.200 even though it doesn't doesn't show up in the stat line, 0:13:57.440 --> 0:13:59.640 and he was obviously one of the main reasons we 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.360 had the run defense in the league and the best 0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.000 run defense statistically that the Bucks have ever had. I 0:14:04.040 --> 0:14:06.520 would like to keep as much of that intact as possible. Yeah, 0:14:06.559 --> 0:14:08.920 that makes complete sense. Um and Daniel asked, what are 0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:11.320 your thoughts on Leonard Williams. What kind of salary would 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:15.480 he command? Versus and Dominican sue, well, is he, uh, 0:14:16.080 --> 0:14:20.560 free agent? I believe so? Yeah, Okay, oh yeah, that's right. 0:14:20.560 --> 0:14:24.920 I was reading that somebody projecting that the the Giants 0:14:25.000 --> 0:14:28.720 might franchise tag him because they made a pretty aggressive 0:14:28.760 --> 0:14:30.880 trade to get him, and even though he didn't necessarily 0:14:30.960 --> 0:14:33.680 light up the world for them. Um, if you're gonna 0:14:33.760 --> 0:14:37.040 trade those assets, you'd like to keep him around. Probably, Uh, 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.720 Leonard Williams. I'm gonna have to be honest here and 0:14:41.760 --> 0:14:44.760 say I don't really know his top strength. I don't 0:14:44.800 --> 0:14:46.160 is he a great run stopper? I mean, they know 0:14:46.240 --> 0:14:47.560 he's a big I know he's like the third guy 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:49.640 drafted overall, and I'm sure he's supposed to be an 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:52.480 all around stud in the middle there. I don't think 0:14:52.520 --> 0:14:55.400 his career has been as impactful as his two teams 0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:57.880 have been hoping it would be, right as like the 0:14:57.880 --> 0:15:01.320 third overall pick, I think, so I'd stick with in 0:15:01.400 --> 0:15:04.760 Dominicansu and I think he'll probably be cheaper because he's 0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.760 farther along in his career right, so he's probably gonna 0:15:06.760 --> 0:15:08.680 get shorter deals as he's been. He played the last 0:15:08.680 --> 0:15:10.560 two years on one year deals. Yeah, that makes a 0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:11.800 lot of sense. All right, Well, that's gonna do it 0:15:11.840 --> 0:15:14.320 for us on this edition of Buccaneers Insider Live presented 0:15:14.320 --> 0:15:16.800 by Miller Lite.
