I am Scott Smith and I am 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:22.399 Jeff Ryan, and we are the Salty Dogs. We are 0:01:22.520 --> 0:01:23.959 which we haven't explained in a while in case we 0:01:23.959 --> 0:01:25.680 have new listeners. If you don't know the term, it's 0:01:25.720 --> 0:01:29.160 like it's it's kind of refers to older sailors who've 0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:31.800 been on the seas for many years. Yeah, crusty old guys. 0:01:32.160 --> 0:01:34.479 So yeah, we did get a little salty though last week, 0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.960 or I did over the three games in eleven or 0:01:36.959 --> 0:01:39.880 twelve days. Oh yes, but this is gonna be a 0:01:39.959 --> 0:01:42.119 nice We're gonna be nice to each other this time. Jeff, 0:01:44.120 --> 0:01:46.679 I mean, I can I bet you before this is 0:01:46.720 --> 0:01:48.880 over with, I'll irritate you someone. Well, you do have 0:01:48.920 --> 0:01:50.880 a way. I do. I work at it. He told 0:01:50.920 --> 0:01:52.920 you have something to say, Now I do. We're brought 0:01:52.920 --> 0:01:55.520 to you by beef. O Brady's just remember wings, beef, 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.400 beer and wings. You got it. That's Nobody's combines them 0:01:58.440 --> 0:02:01.680 like beef. Oh Brady's start with the award winning traditional 0:02:01.800 --> 0:02:05.440 or boneless wings and a variety of sauces and dry rubs. Next, 0:02:05.480 --> 0:02:09.080 pick your favorite brew says all your favorites on tap 0:02:09.160 --> 0:02:12.600 beefo Bradies where game time meets beer time and wing 0:02:12.720 --> 0:02:16.720 time all the time. And your Beef Brady tip of 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:19.720 the week, it is a tip you this time. So 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:22.200 let's say you're you decided to get some carry out 0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:25.440 and what you want is wings, my wife, and if 0:02:25.440 --> 0:02:28.120 we get beefs carry out, it's almost always wings. It's easy. 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:30.640 They transport well, but you do you usually want something 0:02:30.680 --> 0:02:33.920 with it, and so we would get wings and fries. 0:02:34.320 --> 0:02:36.519 So what you gotta do is you gotta get the 0:02:36.560 --> 0:02:41.239 fries home quickly and open that box and and serve 0:02:41.320 --> 0:02:43.079 them as quickly as possible, or you're gonna have to 0:02:43.080 --> 0:02:44.560 throw them back in the oven, because in the box 0:02:45.160 --> 0:02:49.080 and not this isn't probably, this is science, this isn't 0:02:49.120 --> 0:02:51.639 just for beef. So you gotta get that box open 0:02:51.680 --> 0:02:53.840 quickly and need them right away or because they they'll 0:02:53.840 --> 0:02:56.600 steam inside that box. But they're really good when they 0:02:56.600 --> 0:03:01.120 are crispy. Do that? All right? All right, that's it. 0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:05.640 So now let's talk about football. You wanna I you know, 0:03:05.680 --> 0:03:11.240 what I enjoyed. I totally enjoyed the Bears game. You 0:03:11.320 --> 0:03:15.640 enjoyed that it was it was fun. Um can be 0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.519 disgruntled for a change because you didn't score as many 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:20.840 points as your thoughts. Been a long time since we've 0:03:20.840 --> 0:03:23.720 been able to complain that we should have scored so 0:03:23.760 --> 0:03:25.600 many ways. You like it because it was fun and 0:03:25.639 --> 0:03:27.280 we blew them out, but also because you get to 0:03:27.280 --> 0:03:29.880 complain about it. Well, that's it. It's a perfect world. 0:03:29.960 --> 0:03:33.880 I'm happy and I get a bitch about something, probably 0:03:33.880 --> 0:03:35.880 not as much as the Bears are bitching about right now. Um, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:39.480 you know they have a pretty good defense, though they do. 0:03:39.600 --> 0:03:41.240 You know what was good. But what was good about 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:43.720 that game is because it looked on paper like we 0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.040 should win that game, no question. We were like twelve 0:03:46.080 --> 0:03:50.080 and a half point favorites. Um, we're averaging like thirty now, 0:03:50.160 --> 0:03:52.880 like thirty three points a game. They were only scoring 0:03:52.880 --> 0:03:56.960 about sixteen points a game. There. The rookie quarterback is 0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.920 having a tough time. He's getting terrible protection. They're often 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:03.200 has been bad so and they had they were missing 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:05.560 some guys even on defense. They were missing a Chem Hicks. 0:04:05.600 --> 0:04:09.920 They were missing Robert quinn Um so there were some reasons. 0:04:10.640 --> 0:04:13.080 And then they lost their their starting right tackle, Um, 0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.920 who was already the second string guy because Jermaine Effetti 0:04:16.040 --> 0:04:18.600 is on Andrew reserve went on a couple of weeks ago, 0:04:18.880 --> 0:04:21.200 and so I went to the second guy, Elijah Wilkinson, 0:04:22.040 --> 0:04:24.240 but he was put on the COVID list on Sunday morning. 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.360 The fourth guy they put on the list that week 0:04:26.680 --> 0:04:31.320 like every day. So there right tackle was somebody named 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:34.280 Lachevius Simmons. And I have to say, I've never heard 0:04:34.320 --> 0:04:37.320 of Lachevius Simmons, and it was his first career start. 0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:40.719 I looked bad up Now, Lachevia Simmons has probably never 0:04:40.800 --> 0:04:44.960 heard of me either, um, and he has a chance 0:04:45.000 --> 0:04:47.320 to make his name more well known. But it was 0:04:47.360 --> 0:04:49.760 a rough first game for him, a rough situation. He's 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:51.799 a seventh round pick last year out of Tennessee State, 0:04:52.080 --> 0:04:54.880 making his first career start, and Shack. Shack had a 0:04:54.880 --> 0:04:58.520 good time. Shack was mostly rushing on that end offensive 0:04:59.240 --> 0:05:03.159 the you know, but I didn't finish my thought head. 0:05:03.520 --> 0:05:06.000 All of that looked like on paper like you should 0:05:06.000 --> 0:05:10.280 win handling, And I feel like those games they don't 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.440 unfold that way we expect them to. And this one did. 0:05:13.520 --> 0:05:16.599 I mean, it's just we just dominated from in the beginning. 0:05:16.640 --> 0:05:19.599 I think field position was just huge. I mean that. 0:05:19.800 --> 0:05:23.440 I mean, if you look at the numbers, you yes, 0:05:23.520 --> 0:05:26.200 Tom had four touchdown basses, but when you look at 0:05:26.240 --> 0:05:28.640 the numbers, you're gonna he had his season low in 0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:31.760 passing yard That's what I mean, right, and left a 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:33.920 couple of touchdowns out there in the second half on 0:05:34.000 --> 0:05:36.920 a couple of failed inside the tin drives, which is 0:05:37.160 --> 0:05:39.520 which is concerning because if you're in a tight game 0:05:39.640 --> 0:05:43.120 you have to deliver on I would say it's concerning 0:05:43.120 --> 0:05:45.440 if it's been a season long problem. But the Buccaneers 0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:48.919 are something like, wait, I got it right here, I 0:05:48.960 --> 0:05:52.600 got papers. You always have papers, have more everything. We're 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:55.599 still ninth in the league and red zone touchdown percentage strong. 0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.880 That's still pretty good. Sure, down a little bit from 0:05:57.960 --> 0:06:01.440 last year. It's at the nice part is the team 0:06:01.520 --> 0:06:04.960 is now elevated where you can look at things and 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.320 become a little more critical even though you win, where 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:10.240 there are times that both you and I know, if 0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.000 you got to win, you didn't care. You just got 0:06:12.000 --> 0:06:14.800 to win. I didn't want to look at anything else. Yeah, 0:06:14.920 --> 0:06:18.159 we were happy. We were happy anyway, they and we 0:06:18.240 --> 0:06:22.240 still are. We've made that point before. But it also 0:06:22.279 --> 0:06:25.600 gives you something to talk about. Two, if you're the team, 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.440 the players and coaches to dissect an analyze, figure out 0:06:28.440 --> 0:06:31.800 what needs to be always improvement. There's never a perfect game. 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:33.840 That's what Tim was saying today. He says he could 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.760 so he's played three regular season games and I don't 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.320 know what another forty in the playoffs. Probably, he says 0:06:39.320 --> 0:06:42.200 he can count on one hand. He probably doesn't even 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:45.159 need an entire one hand to count how many times 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:47.160 the game has gone exactly the way he had hoped 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:52.920 it would go. So the thing, though, is that, so far, 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:55.000 with the exception of the Rams game, obviously, the Buckaneers 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:57.640 have been able to win even without putting together what 0:06:57.640 --> 0:07:00.320 they think is a really great game. That it's not 0:07:00.320 --> 0:07:03.360 gonna that's not gonna last though, and that starts this 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:07.080 week at New Orleans, no question, no question. And they 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:09.840 know that. Oh yeah, I don't mean they're the ones 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:14.520 saying that there is no love lost between the Bucks 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.560 and the sentence And and how crazy is it It's 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:22.560 on Halloween night or Halloween afternoon, so it is, that's 0:07:22.600 --> 0:07:25.000 just a crazy time. Anyways, but it at least will 0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:28.600 be entertaining. So, like Bruces said several times, and I'm 0:07:28.640 --> 0:07:29.920 sure you since here about it, and I've heard other 0:07:29.920 --> 0:07:32.320 people say how interesting it's gonna be in the Superdome 0:07:32.360 --> 0:07:35.720 with the fans back on Halloween Day. Personally, I could 0:07:35.720 --> 0:07:38.040 do without it. I know, I find those people annoying. 0:07:38.240 --> 0:07:41.560 I understand, and I could. I would prefer that we 0:07:41.560 --> 0:07:43.560 weren't going to play there on Halloween, right, But it 0:07:44.000 --> 0:07:47.360 will be fun people watching, no no matter what. So hopefully, 0:07:47.520 --> 0:07:50.160 hopefully it's a game. I think it's going to be 0:07:50.200 --> 0:07:53.560 a battle. There's no question. Um. Of course, the big 0:07:53.600 --> 0:07:56.400 story is always about you know who used to be here, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.600 and that's Jamis Winston and how well he's doing with 0:07:59.640 --> 0:08:01.320 the same send him. Happy for him because he is 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.200 doing well with the Saints. It'll be fun to watch 0:08:05.720 --> 0:08:08.040 how this unfolds. Yeah, we'll get to the Saints here 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.560 in a minute and Jamis, but we haven't done my 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:12.640 my thing, which that you get to do your little 0:08:12.680 --> 0:08:16.120 beef braves read and I could do favorite thing what 0:08:16.360 --> 0:08:19.600 your stats? No, just your favorite thing from each last 0:08:19.600 --> 0:08:22.200 game every week we've been doing. If you would think 0:08:22.200 --> 0:08:25.240 you might remember that our favorite thing, your favorite thing 0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:27.960 from the last game, which was the Chicago game. Yeah, okay, 0:08:28.240 --> 0:08:30.640 my favorite thing. I thought, maybe you're saying your favorite 0:08:30.640 --> 0:08:33.199 thing is and you love doing stats and your favorite thing. 0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:35.640 I mean, yes, that's true. You want to do this 0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.520 segment called my favorite thing from the game we do 0:08:38.559 --> 0:08:40.679 every week now, all right, Uh, you want me to 0:08:40.720 --> 0:08:43.800 go first? If you like a couple of things. I 0:08:43.840 --> 0:08:47.120 like that. There were two times when one by Chris 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.400 Godwin and one by Mike Evans, they made a big 0:08:49.440 --> 0:08:51.560 play to get us near but didn't quite get in, 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.400 and Brady immediately reward them by throwing them a touchdown pass. 0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:57.480 I did like that, so you know, Mike got the 0:08:57.520 --> 0:08:59.720 fort yard, was dragged down about the two and like 0:08:59.760 --> 0:09:01.320 they hurried to the line staff that just did the 0:09:01.320 --> 0:09:05.360 back shield of fade touchdown. You're getting your touchdown. He's like, exactly, 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:11.520 just deserves that's one. And then I liked all the 0:09:11.600 --> 0:09:14.280 runs of ten or more yards. I believe we had 0:09:14.320 --> 0:09:16.560 eight of them in that game. Runs of ten or 0:09:16.559 --> 0:09:19.640 more yards we had seven coming into the game. We 0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:20.960 had more in that game than we had in our 0:09:21.000 --> 0:09:26.880 first six games combined. That's that's big strong. I loved 0:09:27.120 --> 0:09:32.560 how the offensive line played. I guess it's a good 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:37.360 good against a good defense. Khalil Mack. I also loved that, 0:09:37.840 --> 0:09:43.240 um the kickoff return returned rather which was part of 0:09:43.280 --> 0:09:45.920 what you were talking about about the field position, field position, 0:09:46.120 --> 0:09:50.040 so and and almost broke it. Yeah, he was close. 0:09:50.160 --> 0:09:52.480 He was he I think he was. I think he 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:54.240 was hoping to get around the corner on the punter 0:09:54.800 --> 0:09:56.679 and he said, he said if he I think if 0:09:56.679 --> 0:09:58.560 he had a chance to do it over again after 0:09:58.600 --> 0:10:00.760 listening to him yesterday, would have tried to tried to 0:10:00.760 --> 0:10:02.560 put a move on him and maybe could have like 0:10:02.600 --> 0:10:04.240 cut back. Yeah, he thought he was going to beat 0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:06.760 the angle. Yeah, he didn't know, and he didn't want 0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:08.280 to cut back as there were other pursuers there. If 0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:09.800 he could have got around the puttery, he might have 0:10:09.800 --> 0:10:12.840 gone the distance, which is something that uh, you know 0:10:12.960 --> 0:10:16.320 they've been talking about Darden being able to do this 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:21.080 and um, here we are weak. That would have been 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:25.400 six seven and he gets to come in and immediately 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:28.960 goes what he needed to do. So his comfort level 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:31.720 in the NFL seems to be there. It certainly gives 0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.439 us opportunities in games down the road that perhaps he 0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.000 can break one. You probably know that I've been pretty 0:10:38.000 --> 0:10:40.440 excited about him since we drafted. Yeah, I really, you know, 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:42.920 you like him. If we had gotten that touchdown, it 0:10:42.960 --> 0:10:44.199 would have been you know when the last time we 0:10:44.200 --> 0:10:49.680 had a punt return touchdown. Oh gosh, that would have gone. Um. 0:10:49.720 --> 0:10:52.120 It was actually against the Saints. Yeah, I can't remember 0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:56.360 his name, his first name. It was spelled not the 0:10:56.400 --> 0:10:59.680 way it's normally spelled. Does that help. Oh, I wasn't 0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.440 Michaels Spurlock. It was it was Michael Spurlock, who spells 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:07.440 his name. Yeah, that was kind of a uh. It 0:11:07.559 --> 0:11:10.080 was that game. It was that game in two thousand 0:11:10.160 --> 0:11:13.360 nine when the Buccaneers were terrible thou nine. I think 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.280 we had two wins maybe at that point, and it 0:11:16.360 --> 0:11:19.160 was like the second to last week. These Saints would 0:11:19.160 --> 0:11:21.160 go on to win the Super Bowl here and they 0:11:21.200 --> 0:11:23.600 did not rest their starters in that game, but the 0:11:23.640 --> 0:11:26.600 Bucks beat them. It was one of the biggest in 0:11:26.679 --> 0:11:28.319 terms of the two records of the teams. It was 0:11:28.320 --> 0:11:31.040 one of the biggest upsets in NFL history, and it 0:11:31.080 --> 0:11:34.640 was made possible by Spurlock tying the game with the 0:11:34.640 --> 0:11:37.520 part return touchdown late in the game and then we 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:41.000 wanted an overtime, and I think that's um part of 0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:44.560 the game that's gone away because there's no kickoff return 0:11:44.600 --> 0:11:47.720 there's no kickoff returns really and and but it was 0:11:47.760 --> 0:11:51.400 fun to watch it. You know, you just with with 0:11:51.520 --> 0:11:53.840 him back there, you can't put your head down. You 0:11:53.840 --> 0:11:55.360 know a lot of times there is usually take a 0:11:55.400 --> 0:11:57.760 nap at certain times. Well sometimes you you'll look at something, 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.640 You'll you'll glance down, you'll try to find a note, 0:12:00.800 --> 0:12:04.200 You'll you can't do that with him now. So that's 0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.719 that's a good thing. That was um. My other takeaways 0:12:07.960 --> 0:12:13.560 were the human interest stories of I did laugh when 0:12:13.960 --> 0:12:18.120 Mike gave away the six um touchdown ball. That was great. 0:12:18.240 --> 0:12:21.840 I loved it. Uh. I think that that was an 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.559 interesting sideline. I also liked the fact there's a couple 0:12:25.600 --> 0:12:29.040 of things. Of course, everybody's talking about Tom Brady and 0:12:32.520 --> 0:12:37.760 which was a terrific terrific But Leonard four Nette gave 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:44.080 his jersey away to um a young lady. Uh she 0:12:44.360 --> 0:12:47.360 I would say by looking at her probably between I 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:49.600 don't know eight and eleven or eight and twelve, something 0:12:49.640 --> 0:12:56.720 like that. Um, he just she was cheering him and 0:12:56.840 --> 0:13:00.520 he took his game day jersey off after the game, 0:13:00.600 --> 0:13:04.120 right after the game and handed the tour and she 0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:08.400 just her tears and just and it made me think 0:13:09.040 --> 0:13:13.760 that's what sports should be, pure enjoyment. There shouldn't be 0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.480 a dollar value because it's a jersey or because it's 0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:20.920 a football. It's just a straight you know, you're you're 0:13:20.960 --> 0:13:25.080 touched by one of your heroes when you're that age, 0:13:25.320 --> 0:13:28.440 and so I like those. I like that aspect, but 0:13:28.840 --> 0:13:32.120 that one didn't get much much pluba when when you're 0:13:32.120 --> 0:13:35.199 compared to Tom Brady, a nine year old cancer survivor, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.720 that's going to get the headline that's it. Good story. Yeah, 0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:41.040 it was a great story, and it's it's very interesting 0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:44.200 and he's a um you know, you kind of look 0:13:44.240 --> 0:13:47.120 at all all of that that goes on during a game, 0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:50.720 but that's kind of what happens when you're ahead, when 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:54.280 you're I think you're being a sweet dog this week. No, 0:13:54.320 --> 0:13:57.320 I'm just well, I'm just saying is that I don't 0:13:57.320 --> 0:13:59.600 necessarily know if all that stuff happens if you lose 0:13:59.600 --> 0:14:02.079 that game. Uh you see it. That's what I'm looking 0:14:02.120 --> 0:14:05.240 at is that the game is a feel good game 0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.000 all the way across the board. How's that well? And 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:11.160 I was saying, I've been excited about Jalen Darden since 0:14:11.200 --> 0:14:13.920 we drafted him, uh, in part because I really wish 0:14:13.920 --> 0:14:16.679 we could find a dynamic punt returner, and you're right 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:20.000 that that is going away because somehow CBS had this 0:14:20.040 --> 0:14:22.440 and we just that was the longest point returning in 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:24.760 the entire lage. I was surprised when I saw the 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:26.880 forty three yards the longest one in the whole league 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:28.400 this year, at least to that point. I don't know 0:14:28.400 --> 0:14:29.760 if that held up through the rest of the weekend. 0:14:29.840 --> 0:14:31.720 And first I thought what it was forty three of 0:14:31.840 --> 0:14:35.480 ours and I was like yeah, and then I was like, 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:41.120 wait a minute, that's that's the league. So yeah, um, 0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:45.560 it's it's exciting. So Jalen technically beat out Jaden Mickens, 0:14:45.640 --> 0:14:48.320 the incumbent for the return jobs, got the spot on 0:14:48.360 --> 0:14:50.920 the actor roster, while Mickens went to the practice cractice 0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:54.520 squad to start the season. But coach Arians then decided 0:14:55.360 --> 0:14:57.560 I'm not sure I'm quite ready to throw the rookie 0:14:57.600 --> 0:14:59.600 into the fire. He hasn't seen a lot of situations 0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:04.600 yet big game, Thursday night shows, Cowboys, So Jaden mckins 0:15:04.680 --> 0:15:07.240 gets called up from the practice squad and then he 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.960 in the next week they just signed him to the 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.800 active roster room and he has held the return job 0:15:12.200 --> 0:15:13.640 except for the Rams game when he was out with 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:17.320 an injury, so Jane Jalen only got to play one game. 0:15:17.560 --> 0:15:21.600 But before this last game, Jenen mckins put back on 0:15:21.640 --> 0:15:25.800 the practice squad. The job's yours, Jalen. Yeah, and it's 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.640 exciting because he took it. And like you said, instant 0:15:28.640 --> 0:15:31.200 field position. I think that's the part of the coaching 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.960 and the evaluation of talent that kind of gets overlooked 0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.920 because when you when you kind of just go, oh, 0:15:37.920 --> 0:15:40.040 he got I guess he just wasn't you know, it 0:15:40.160 --> 0:15:42.680 wasn't what they thought he was, but he is. Or 0:15:43.280 --> 0:15:46.600 they never changed their opinion on him. They just they 0:15:46.640 --> 0:15:49.680 he needed, he need playing situations. Yeah, and I and 0:15:49.800 --> 0:15:54.560 at great management of your roster. Yeah, we've had him 0:15:54.560 --> 0:15:58.520 on this year. Yeah, so that's exciting. You mentioned Mike 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.200 Evans and the six hunter touched him and and then 0:16:01.360 --> 0:16:06.520 Mike Evans cut his sixth huner first touchdown and second 0:16:07.120 --> 0:16:10.120 and so why has six D so more important than 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:12.760 six O two? Would It's just their nice round number. 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:14.200 He's the first guy ever to get to six hundred. 0:16:14.320 --> 0:16:16.320 He's also the first person to get to six two. 0:16:17.520 --> 0:16:20.400 For that matter. People like the round numbers. It's a milestone. 0:16:20.800 --> 0:16:23.640 So and don't this is not a joke. He could 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:27.480 conceivably we could be in a year or two talking about, oh, 0:16:27.520 --> 0:16:30.600 he's closing in on seven hundred. Because okay, right now, 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:33.320 right now, he has twenty one touchdowns through seven games. 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:35.480 If you just take the easiest possible route and say 0:16:35.480 --> 0:16:37.720 that's three touchdowns the game time seventeen is fifty one, 0:16:37.920 --> 0:16:39.480 it would not be at all surprising if he got 0:16:39.480 --> 0:16:41.600 the fifty one, which would be thirty more touchdowns this year, 0:16:42.280 --> 0:16:45.080 So he'd be at like seven thirty something, right, six 0:16:45.200 --> 0:16:48.800 thirty something. If he plays next year, which I think 0:16:48.800 --> 0:16:51.520 he's planning too, the contract goes through there, he throws 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:54.400 another thirty to forty touchdowns, He's suddenly at six sixties 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:57.080 six seventy, and if he decides to play with another year, 0:16:58.080 --> 0:17:00.000 you have a good shot at It's hard to even 0:17:00.040 --> 0:17:02.560 imagine that we can seriously talk about that, but it's 0:17:02.600 --> 0:17:04.399 not out of the question. See what I what I 0:17:04.480 --> 0:17:08.679 love is how focused players are on just playing the game. So, 0:17:10.600 --> 0:17:12.320 and this is what I love about it because if 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:15.280 you ask a player, who are we playing? Not again 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:16.760 to the Saints, but who are we playing after the 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.639 bye week, They'll look at you with blank, blank stare 0:17:19.720 --> 0:17:23.439 they have no idea. And I love that because everybody's 0:17:23.480 --> 0:17:26.600 into stats and this and that, and players are focused 0:17:26.600 --> 0:17:28.600 on what they need to leave the stat gazing for 0:17:28.640 --> 0:17:31.359 guys like me. Yeah, but I did love the look 0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.760 on Mike space when he goes, I gave away the ball? 0:17:33.920 --> 0:17:36.920 But what did I do? And we have just kind 0:17:36.920 --> 0:17:41.199 of half smiling. Yeah. Yeah, So it is funny, but 0:17:41.320 --> 0:17:43.920 it's it's funny because it did work out really really 0:17:43.920 --> 0:17:46.760 well and it wasn't some craziness. So that speaking of 0:17:46.840 --> 0:17:51.080 Mike Evans and um crazy stats. Okay, so those three 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:54.919 touchdowns got him in his career to a total of 0:17:54.960 --> 0:17:59.879 sixty nine, which is only two behind Mike all stop now, Michael. Okay, 0:17:59.880 --> 0:18:01.920 So originally before Mike also came out on the Bucks, 0:18:01.920 --> 0:18:04.720 all time leading touchdown guy was James Wilder with forty five. 0:18:05.760 --> 0:18:08.800 Mike destroyed that record. Um got it all the way 0:18:08.840 --> 0:18:11.359 up to seventy one. For certainly for a long time, 0:18:11.359 --> 0:18:13.520 You're like, well, who's gonna break that record. I mean, 0:18:13.640 --> 0:18:17.119 there's other franchises with better touchdown record career touchdown records, 0:18:17.160 --> 0:18:19.960 but for the Bucks, nobody's come close for a long time. 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.960 And now here comes Mike and he's gonna get it. 0:18:22.960 --> 0:18:24.880 He's gonna get it this year. He's got seven through 0:18:24.880 --> 0:18:28.320 seven games, he's gonna get two more. So good this week. Yeah, 0:18:28.359 --> 0:18:32.120 that would be great. Uh he I just think it's 0:18:32.119 --> 0:18:34.560 a it's we have notes every week, and especially with 0:18:34.600 --> 0:18:38.480 Tom Brady, he's some milestone every freaking week, and that's 0:18:38.520 --> 0:18:40.480 it's nice we have things to talk about. The PR 0:18:40.520 --> 0:18:43.160 department has can put out these big liners every week, 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.320 but this one, to me is big, passing Mike Alstot 0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:49.399 to be the all time leading touchdown score. To me, 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:52.399 that might be Mike Coms has a ton of records, 0:18:52.400 --> 0:18:55.240 but that would be my favorite one when he gets it. Yeah, 0:18:55.280 --> 0:18:57.680 And I think the reason for it is because it's 0:18:57.720 --> 0:19:02.760 Mike allt and Mike is a guy that you know, 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:06.080 it's not that far removed from the game and a 0:19:06.119 --> 0:19:08.840 lot of people grew up with if you if it 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:10.639 was going to score, give it to Mike. Yeah, and 0:19:10.680 --> 0:19:13.560 that's what you're gonna get So that's Mike and it's Mike, 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.240 and they're about Mike, two of the most beloved players 0:19:17.240 --> 0:19:21.439 in franchise history. Questions, Um, I would I mean, I'm 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:22.719 saying this to the point, and I don't know if 0:19:22.760 --> 0:19:24.800 anybody in our team has reached out. If it's a 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:27.879 home game, I hope Mike's there. Oh, Mike comes to 0:19:27.960 --> 0:19:29.600 the games. He comes to every game. Yeah, he's there 0:19:29.600 --> 0:19:31.000 all if you have a suite or something. I believe 0:19:31.040 --> 0:19:33.320 he does. I bring him down to the sideline, you know, 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.440 like when um Sap was there when Shaq broke his 0:19:36.520 --> 0:19:39.560 sack record, And that's how it should be. Yeah, and 0:19:39.600 --> 0:19:43.120 I'm sure Mike would totally enjoy the experience. Oh yeah, 0:19:43.240 --> 0:19:46.440 Mike would be the biggest one routine that you surpassed 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:48.639 the record, No question. Records are made to be broken. 0:19:48.720 --> 0:19:53.320 And I'm sure tobbyous. Mike loves the Buccaneers, identifies as 0:19:53.320 --> 0:19:57.320 a Buccaneer for life. So you want to see Buccaneers 0:19:57.560 --> 0:20:00.280 other Buccaneers players, Well, I'm sure he'll be really happy 0:20:00.280 --> 0:20:04.000 about that. So, um, that was the highest scoring first 0:20:04.040 --> 0:20:07.800 half we've ever had, and how much good they add more? 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.480 And I was wrong with my notes earlier we had Yeah, 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:14.240 like we have. We had eight runs of ten or 0:20:14.240 --> 0:20:17.560 more yards in that game by four different guys, and 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.000 we had nine not seven coming in. It was still 0:20:20.040 --> 0:20:23.040 almost doubled it, sure, And so you you you brought 0:20:23.080 --> 0:20:25.840 up the offensive line, and that's yeah, they're they're doing 0:20:25.920 --> 0:20:27.960 they're doing better. They're they're open holes better in their 0:20:27.960 --> 0:20:30.359 backs are the backs are picking the holes better? Even 0:20:30.359 --> 0:20:33.560 coach said that. And and what I love is when 0:20:33.600 --> 0:20:36.400 an offensive lineman has to run downfield and blocked, they 0:20:36.480 --> 0:20:38.479 are well, yeah, a couple of guys are really more, 0:20:38.480 --> 0:20:44.600
