<v Speaker 1>in the comments section under our live video. While people

0:00:32.320 --> 0:00:33.760
<v Speaker 1>do that with We're gonna go ahead and start off.

0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>There's there's been some stuff happening this week. It's so exciting.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>There were coaches back in the building. It's it's crazy,

0:00:39.760 --> 0:00:42.960
<v Speaker 1>what a big step that feels like after after the

0:00:43.000 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>last few months here. So coaches went back into the

0:00:45.440 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>building on Monday. And I know that offensive coordinator Byron Left,

0:00:48.440 --> 0:00:51.559
<v Speaker 1>which spoke to the media yesterday via zoom. Uh so

0:00:51.600 --> 0:00:53.080
<v Speaker 1>I want to hear what were some of your thoughts

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.840
<v Speaker 1>on anything that he said or what you might have

0:00:54.840 --> 0:00:57.120
<v Speaker 1>gotten out of that. Yeah, I'm not even in town

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.560
<v Speaker 1>and I still get all this news. Uh of all

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:02.000
<v Speaker 1>this of the it's a it's a good feeling because

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:05.600
<v Speaker 1>it sort of feels like we're progressing back towards football. Uh.

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.120
<v Speaker 1>And Byron talking yesterday, I believe, was another example of that.

0:01:09.200 --> 0:01:11.760
<v Speaker 1>And he did a good twenty five minutes on a

0:01:11.800 --> 0:01:14.320
<v Speaker 1>bunch of questions about what's gonna happen with this offense

0:01:14.400 --> 0:01:18.760
<v Speaker 1>because everybody by now would have normally, we normally had

0:01:18.760 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>all those O T A s. And I think the

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>rookie minicamp, I mean, and even the regular full mandatory

0:01:22.640 --> 0:01:24.240
<v Speaker 1>mini camp would be over by now, and we'd have

0:01:24.280 --> 0:01:27.200
<v Speaker 1>a lot of data so to speak, of what the

0:01:27.200 --> 0:01:30.000
<v Speaker 1>Bucks offense looks like on the field. Um, we don't

0:01:30.000 --> 0:01:32.840
<v Speaker 1>have that obviously. So and you saw a little bit

0:01:32.920 --> 0:01:35.520
<v Speaker 1>or you heard a little bit of that in Byron's answers,

0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:38.279
<v Speaker 1>you know, asked about, for instance, the running backs and

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.720
<v Speaker 1>if there's a pass catching running back in that group,

0:01:41.760 --> 0:01:43.479
<v Speaker 1>there is there something who can really fill that role

0:01:43.560 --> 0:01:46.440
<v Speaker 1>more so than last year. Because that's one thing Bruce

0:01:46.440 --> 0:01:49.000
<v Speaker 1>arians has talked about several times during this offseason as

0:01:49.040 --> 0:01:51.960
<v Speaker 1>he wants that in his offense, and certainly Tom Brady

0:01:51.960 --> 0:01:55.040
<v Speaker 1>has made great use of that in former Patriots offenses

0:01:55.080 --> 0:01:57.320
<v Speaker 1>like James White for example, And and he said he

0:01:57.360 --> 0:02:00.120
<v Speaker 1>thinks we have a couple candidates, you know, keys on

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 1>Von being one of them. Ray Calais being another one,

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.320
<v Speaker 1>and but he doesn't really know yet. We have to

0:02:05.360 --> 0:02:07.160
<v Speaker 1>get him on the field and get our hands on him,

0:02:07.160 --> 0:02:09.680
<v Speaker 1>as he said, and find out. Um. So it's just

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>another example of the uncertainty and and all the ground

0:02:12.560 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>that has to be caught up on when these guys

0:02:14.800 --> 0:02:16.880
<v Speaker 1>get back on the field. You know, maybe training camp

0:02:16.880 --> 0:02:18.480
<v Speaker 1>starts a little bit earlier this year, maybe it's a

0:02:18.480 --> 0:02:20.560
<v Speaker 1>little bit longer. I don't think it's finalized yet or

0:02:20.639 --> 0:02:24.280
<v Speaker 1>heading in that direction, and it's gonna be it's gonna

0:02:24.320 --> 0:02:28.359
<v Speaker 1>be a real jam packed, intense, uh period of weeks,

0:02:28.680 --> 0:02:30.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, to get this team. But the thing is,

0:02:30.280 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>and this is another thing that Byron said during that

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.080
<v Speaker 1>time during his talk, it's the same for everybody. So

0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:37.040
<v Speaker 1>it's not a disadvantage for the Buccaneers. I guess you

0:02:37.080 --> 0:02:39.320
<v Speaker 1>could say any team that's trying to incorporate a new

0:02:39.360 --> 0:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in their offense has a little bit more of

0:02:41.600 --> 0:02:43.679
<v Speaker 1>a hurdle to clear, but everybody's pretty much on a

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:46.280
<v Speaker 1>level field. Yeah, that's a good point, and I do

0:02:46.320 --> 0:02:48.640
<v Speaker 1>think it's interesting. I've heard a few people talk about

0:02:48.680 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>the potential advantage for teams who didn't change coaches, didn't

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:55.079
<v Speaker 1>change systems. That was something that Byron left which I

0:02:55.120 --> 0:02:57.760
<v Speaker 1>thought mentioned that you know, everybody, for the most part

0:02:57.800 --> 0:02:59.160
<v Speaker 1>on the team is gonna be in their second year.

0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:01.440
<v Speaker 1>Of course, Brookies are all always new for everybody, so

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:03.680
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be challenging across the board for all teams.

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:05.520
<v Speaker 1>But there is a bit of an advantage there. But then,

0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:07.959
<v Speaker 1>of course Brady is sort of new to the system.

0:03:08.040 --> 0:03:09.799
<v Speaker 1>So where do you feel like we stand compared to

0:03:09.840 --> 0:03:12.640
<v Speaker 1>other teams on the challenge you have ahead of you

0:03:12.680 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>of making sure that everybody's on the same page. Yeah,

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.399
<v Speaker 1>even before Byron talked about that defensive Cordne or Todd

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:19.359
<v Speaker 1>bowl Is a week or two ago said the same thing,

0:03:19.400 --> 0:03:22.600
<v Speaker 1>but a little more emphatically. Definitely the continuity and the

0:03:22.639 --> 0:03:26.639
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff, and definitely the continuity in the defense. Uh

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:30.160
<v Speaker 1>In that basically the entire starting defense is back and

0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:31.959
<v Speaker 1>a lot of those guys are very young players who

0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 1>really hit the stride in the second half of last year.

0:03:34.880 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 1>He says, that's gonna help an awful lot now. He

0:03:36.720 --> 0:03:39.400
<v Speaker 1>also caution that you're still back starting at square one

0:03:39.440 --> 0:03:41.320
<v Speaker 1>every year. You can't assume any of your gains from

0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:44.760
<v Speaker 1>the past year are automatically, automatically gonna roll over, but

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.600
<v Speaker 1>he did acknowledge that that continuity will be helpful and

0:03:47.720 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>because the guys are starting where they are now, he's

0:03:50.040 --> 0:03:51.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be able to do a lot more, you know,

0:03:51.880 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>the the thing that he can do to make defense

0:03:54.600 --> 0:03:56.960
<v Speaker 1>even more complicated, and it's a comple It's a complicated

0:03:57.000 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>defense for opponent opponents, and it always has been because

0:04:00.360 --> 0:04:02.320
<v Speaker 1>he does a lot these multiple as they say, and

0:04:02.360 --> 0:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>he's one of the more aggressive coordinators in the league.

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:06.920
<v Speaker 1>But what they can do more and more and more

0:04:06.960 --> 0:04:10.040
<v Speaker 1>of is disguising. So you know, there's only so many

0:04:10.040 --> 0:04:12.160
<v Speaker 1>different ways you're gonna come at the opponent on defense,

0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:13.720
<v Speaker 1>but you can make it look like a lot of

0:04:13.720 --> 0:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>different things. So Sean Murphy Bunny was talking about that too.

0:04:16.960 --> 0:04:19.960
<v Speaker 1>How the more they know not just what their job is,

0:04:19.960 --> 0:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>but what the offense is trying to do to them,

0:04:21.960 --> 0:04:24.039
<v Speaker 1>and they get that through more and more film study,

0:04:24.040 --> 0:04:27.240
<v Speaker 1>which they can still do during this strange offseason. H

0:04:27.480 --> 0:04:31.320
<v Speaker 1>the more they can anticipate but also disguise what they're

0:04:31.360 --> 0:04:34.599
<v Speaker 1>doing and give the defensive look that they think is

0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:36.880
<v Speaker 1>what's going to happen. But they're really planning on doing

0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.239
<v Speaker 1>something else. So I think that is a big advantage

0:04:39.240 --> 0:04:41.280
<v Speaker 1>in terms of the continuity. And then, as we said,

0:04:41.279 --> 0:04:43.640
<v Speaker 1>the flip side of that is integrating a new quarterback

0:04:44.120 --> 0:04:46.960
<v Speaker 1>makes it diff more difficult than some other teams. We

0:04:47.000 --> 0:04:49.280
<v Speaker 1>had a question from Michael, and I thought, this is interesting.

0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>This is someone we haven't talked about a ton as

0:04:51.760 --> 0:04:54.200
<v Speaker 1>far as the effect of them leaving that. Michael lasked,

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm curious if the loss of Karl Nassi will have

0:04:57.040 --> 0:05:00.600
<v Speaker 1>a major impact on the defense. Well, it could. I

0:05:00.600 --> 0:05:02.320
<v Speaker 1>would say the impact is that there isn't a lot

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.240
<v Speaker 1>of depth there and we're so so happy to be

0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.400
<v Speaker 1>able to get Shack Barrett and Jpp back, and uh

0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:10.400
<v Speaker 1>that's a real dynamic duo at the outside linebacker position.

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.559
<v Speaker 1>But after that, you don't really have a single experienced player.

0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I think they hope that Anthony Nelson, the

0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:19.360
<v Speaker 1>fourth round pick from last year, steps up, but all

0:05:19.360 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>the other guys are basically late drawn round draft picks

0:05:22.880 --> 0:05:24.840
<v Speaker 1>or undrafted free agents from a year ago and this

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:28.440
<v Speaker 1>year who haven't really played any NFL regular season games yet.

0:05:28.760 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>And so there's a lot of guys there that have

0:05:30.720 --> 0:05:34.240
<v Speaker 1>intriguing talent and somebody or several somebody's could emerge from that.

0:05:34.560 --> 0:05:36.599
<v Speaker 1>But you look at the depth chart right now, and

0:05:36.640 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>it's that really stands out as one of the positions

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.839
<v Speaker 1>where after the front line. Uh, you don't have much experience,

0:05:42.880 --> 0:05:44.520
<v Speaker 1>You don't have much that you know for sure is

0:05:44.560 --> 0:05:48.000
<v Speaker 1>gonna work out, which is why uh, you know, Bruce

0:05:48.040 --> 0:05:50.520
<v Speaker 1>arians was talking about how there are still three or

0:05:50.520 --> 0:05:53.000
<v Speaker 1>four spots open on the roster right now. Usually you

0:05:53.360 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>run at your full ninety max during the off season

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and training camp without practice, it wasn't that big of

0:05:58.800 --> 0:06:01.280
<v Speaker 1>a deal. And they have purpose left some positions, some

0:06:01.320 --> 0:06:04.279
<v Speaker 1>spots on the roster open for what they consider possible

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:07.040
<v Speaker 1>veteran additions, and uh, the guys would kind of be

0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:08.479
<v Speaker 1>able to come in and hit the ground running and

0:06:08.480 --> 0:06:10.839
<v Speaker 1>know what they're doing. And he mentioned some positions that

0:06:10.880 --> 0:06:13.839
<v Speaker 1>they might do that at and that included, uh, linebacker,

0:06:13.880 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 1>but also defensive line, and that includes really in our situation,

0:06:17.560 --> 0:06:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the outside linebackers. So wouldn't be surprised to see a

0:06:20.160 --> 0:06:22.800
<v Speaker 1>veteran addition there if it was a value signing. But

0:06:22.960 --> 0:06:24.760
<v Speaker 1>I would say the loss and Carl massive means you

0:06:24.800 --> 0:06:27.359
<v Speaker 1>don't you're a little scary at depth at the moment

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.760
<v Speaker 1>and hard. I mean getting all the guys back that

0:06:30.800 --> 0:06:33.599
<v Speaker 1>we got on defense. Losing just Carl Nassa is not

0:06:33.720 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>too hard to smile considering everybody else be able to

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>bring back, right, Yeah, um Jay asked, is there too

0:06:39.880 --> 0:06:43.320
<v Speaker 1>much hype on the bus and if so, do you

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:46.640
<v Speaker 1>think the experience of Tom Brady could help quell that hype? So,

0:06:46.680 --> 0:06:48.400
<v Speaker 1>in other words, how is there too much hype in

0:06:48.440 --> 0:06:50.160
<v Speaker 1>the way that it might affect the way the team

0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:54.040
<v Speaker 1>handles themselves goes forward. What's kind of the pressure. I'd

0:06:54.040 --> 0:06:56.160
<v Speaker 1>probably say qualified yes to the first and the yes

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:58.880
<v Speaker 1>to the second one. I mean, yeah, there's there's probably

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:01.479
<v Speaker 1>too much hype, just because it's impossible not for it

0:07:01.560 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>not to build when you add the greatest quarterback of

0:07:03.920 --> 0:07:07.120
<v Speaker 1>all time and then you also get his favorite target

0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.160
<v Speaker 1>of all time, Rob Gronkowski, and the way the defense finished,

0:07:10.200 --> 0:07:12.880
<v Speaker 1>and it's easy for an analyst, not just us, but

0:07:12.920 --> 0:07:15.400
<v Speaker 1>you see it from national analysts to look on paper

0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>and say, there's really not a lot of weaknesses on

0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>this team. This team by adding Tom Brady and and

0:07:20.600 --> 0:07:23.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, maybe hopefully probably fixing the turnover problem that

0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.520
<v Speaker 1>was the main cause of us, uh, you know, not

0:07:26.560 --> 0:07:29.960
<v Speaker 1>being able to go be over five last year. It's

0:07:30.000 --> 0:07:33.440
<v Speaker 1>easy to connect the dots, but every single coach in

0:07:33.480 --> 0:07:36.400
<v Speaker 1>this situation will tell you hype is fine, and we

0:07:36.400 --> 0:07:39.640
<v Speaker 1>we welcome all the uh, we welcome all the expectations,

0:07:39.680 --> 0:07:42.080
<v Speaker 1>but it doesn't mean much until we get on the field.

0:07:42.640 --> 0:07:44.640
<v Speaker 1>So that's what I would say, probably qualified yes to

0:07:44.720 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>that first one, and yes absolutely to the second part

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 1>of that question. With Tom Brady being the one that

0:07:49.840 --> 0:07:53.560
<v Speaker 1>can guide a team through that, I think that's absolutely

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>something's gonna be doing. And when all the way back

0:07:56.120 --> 0:07:58.760
<v Speaker 1>when we first signed Tom Brady, Jason Light said, yes,

0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>we were signing him because not because of what he's

0:08:02.000 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>done before, but what we think he can still do

0:08:04.000 --> 0:08:07.320
<v Speaker 1>the next two years. But also he fast emphasized over

0:08:07.320 --> 0:08:09.840
<v Speaker 1>and over again the value of his leadership in the

0:08:09.840 --> 0:08:11.440
<v Speaker 1>locker room and on the field. And I don't think

0:08:11.440 --> 0:08:16.160
<v Speaker 1>there's any doubt that's gonna happen. Yeah, that's a good point, um, Revn.

0:08:16.320 --> 0:08:17.760
<v Speaker 1>I think is how you say the name. I feel

0:08:17.800 --> 0:08:20.560
<v Speaker 1>like I might have butchered that. He's watching from Denmark

0:08:21.200 --> 0:08:24.200
<v Speaker 1>and he you would appreciate this, he said, I love

0:08:24.240 --> 0:08:27.520
<v Speaker 1>Scott's offseason. Beard Oh great. I didn't know if anybody

0:08:27.520 --> 0:08:30.120
<v Speaker 1>had noticed. It's kind of the off season scruff coming in.

0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.719
<v Speaker 1>And he also said, Casey, I loved your show with

0:08:32.760 --> 0:08:35.400
<v Speaker 1>Alian Donovan. Are we gonna get something similar this season?

0:08:35.880 --> 0:08:38.080
<v Speaker 1>And no, the Alan Donna show was just kind of

0:08:38.120 --> 0:08:41.839
<v Speaker 1>a one year fun thing. Um, but then last year

0:08:41.920 --> 0:08:43.440
<v Speaker 1>and then again this year, we're gonna have the Bruce

0:08:43.440 --> 0:08:45.920
<v Speaker 1>arians show, which is which was great and I think

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:49.000
<v Speaker 1>everybody loves getting to hear from coach and um, so yes,

0:08:49.040 --> 0:08:52.200
<v Speaker 1>I appreciate, appreciate the fandom, appreciate you know you're gonna

0:08:52.240 --> 0:08:54.280
<v Speaker 1>grow in off season Beard, Casey. You know I'm working

0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.080
<v Speaker 1>on It's just not really coming in the way that

0:08:56.120 --> 0:08:58.280
<v Speaker 1>I wanted. I was hoping we threw up. Now not

0:08:58.320 --> 0:08:59.640
<v Speaker 1>so much. I think that we're gonna leave to the

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:04.240
<v Speaker 1>year year territka Um sorry, uh, Dennis asked, And I

0:09:04.280 --> 0:09:06.080
<v Speaker 1>feel like we get this question a lot, and I'm

0:09:06.200 --> 0:09:08.000
<v Speaker 1>sure you still don't have too much of an answer

0:09:08.000 --> 0:09:12.280
<v Speaker 1>for it. But Dennis asked, what's going on with Justin Evans. Yeah,

0:09:12.679 --> 0:09:14.640
<v Speaker 1>that's yet another thing that we would have a lot

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:16.640
<v Speaker 1>more information on if this team was on the field.

0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:19.040
<v Speaker 1>I think they had been targeting him coming back somewhere

0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.360
<v Speaker 1>in the O t A sh so we know by

0:09:21.400 --> 0:09:24.040
<v Speaker 1>now whether that had happened or not. And honestly, we've

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:27.360
<v Speaker 1>got nothing. I mean, um, he's still very much an

0:09:27.440 --> 0:09:30.640
<v Speaker 1>unknown quantity going into training camp, and uh the good

0:09:30.880 --> 0:09:32.839
<v Speaker 1>The flip side of that is, I don't know how

0:09:32.920 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>much we're we're necessarily counting on. I mean, you draft

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Antoine Winfield in the second round, you're probably hoping he

0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:39.840
<v Speaker 1>can step in right away, and you've got a number

0:09:39.880 --> 0:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of other candidates at safety, so it would be a bonus.

0:09:42.280 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I guess if Justin Evans comes back and plays like

0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:47.200
<v Speaker 1>he did as a rookie and at the beginning of

0:09:47.200 --> 0:09:49.160
<v Speaker 1>his second season, Um, you know, there was a lot

0:09:49.240 --> 0:09:51.000
<v Speaker 1>of promise there. There were some ups and downs before

0:09:51.040 --> 0:09:54.280
<v Speaker 1>he got hurt, and obviously he's been unfortunate in that

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:55.920
<v Speaker 1>regard ever since for about a year and a half.

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:58.520
<v Speaker 1>But I guess I would look at that, is the answer.

0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:00.480
<v Speaker 1>The question is, no, we don't really have any new information,

0:10:00.520 --> 0:10:03.800
<v Speaker 1>but it could just be a bonus when we had. Yeah,

0:10:03.880 --> 0:10:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I have to imagine that outside of rookies, he might

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.680
<v Speaker 1>be someone at this time is the least ideal for

0:10:10.280 --> 0:10:12.640
<v Speaker 1>you know that the way this offseason is going because

0:10:13.040 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>he hadn't hurt so much and that he needed a

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:17.720
<v Speaker 1>chance to prove that he was healthy and hadn't lost

0:10:17.720 --> 0:10:20.679
<v Speaker 1>his stuff. That he probably more than anyone other than rookies,

0:10:20.840 --> 0:10:24.679
<v Speaker 1>is bummed about the way that this offseason has gone. Yeah,

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.560
<v Speaker 1>and he hasn't even got to do that with this

0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:28.680
<v Speaker 1>coaching staff at all because he didn't get on the

0:10:28.679 --> 0:10:31.439
<v Speaker 1>field last year, So the Bruce Arians coaching staff doesn't

0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:33.280
<v Speaker 1>know much about him really beyond what they've been able

0:10:33.320 --> 0:10:36.120
<v Speaker 1>to watch on tape. Yeah, that's a good point. Um

0:10:36.200 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Jarvis asked what undrafted free agent do you like to

0:10:39.160 --> 0:10:41.199
<v Speaker 1>make the team, and he said he likes the L

0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:43.880
<v Speaker 1>s U linebacker. And I'm sure that normally you'd have

0:10:43.920 --> 0:10:45.480
<v Speaker 1>a bit more of an opinion on this because again

0:10:45.520 --> 0:10:47.760
<v Speaker 1>we would have gotten to watch them do things on

0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:50.199
<v Speaker 1>a football field. But this might be a tough question

0:10:50.240 --> 0:10:53.120
<v Speaker 1>for you right now. Well, Michael Vivinity would be a

0:10:53.160 --> 0:10:54.520
<v Speaker 1>good call. I thought he was a guy that could

0:10:54.559 --> 0:10:57.679
<v Speaker 1>possibly get drafted. Um, he finished his college career is

0:10:57.720 --> 0:10:59.000
<v Speaker 1>pretty strong there when he got to play in the

0:10:59.120 --> 0:11:03.679
<v Speaker 1>last game. Um, I think the quarterback um uh as

0:11:03.800 --> 0:11:06.319
<v Speaker 1>read stint it has a shot just simply because the

0:11:06.640 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>team definitely wants a developmental quarterback. And you know, Bruce

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.520
<v Speaker 1>arians did mention the other day that the idea of

0:11:11.600 --> 0:11:14.400
<v Speaker 1>a quarantine quarterback, you know, keeping a quarterback that can

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:18.920
<v Speaker 1>nose the system um away from the rest of them. Uh,

0:11:19.000 --> 0:11:21.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe you even keep forward, you know that that would

0:11:21.440 --> 0:11:24.800
<v Speaker 1>be kind of extreme. Uh. You could also possibly keep

0:11:24.840 --> 0:11:26.640
<v Speaker 1>read stand it on the practice squad, so that'd be

0:11:26.640 --> 0:11:29.320
<v Speaker 1>another way of making it so to speak. Um. I

0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.560
<v Speaker 1>like also, uh, some of these some of these young receivers,

0:11:32.600 --> 0:11:36.400
<v Speaker 1>they're all from small schools, like Travis Johnson. Uh, but

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:39.120
<v Speaker 1>they all did. They all put up really big numbers

0:11:39.120 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>and small programs, and I think there's room for competition

0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.400
<v Speaker 1>at the bottom of the receiver depth chart, especially if

0:11:44.440 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>you end up keeping six of them instead of five.

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.439
<v Speaker 1>So those are all decent choices, but it's a much

0:11:49.440 --> 0:11:51.520
<v Speaker 1>harder question to answer. I know by this point every

0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:54.440
<v Speaker 1>year I always have a favorite or two among those

0:11:54.520 --> 0:11:56.480
<v Speaker 1>undrafted free agents, just from seeing what they've done on

0:11:56.520 --> 0:12:01.200
<v Speaker 1>the field. So this is basically just you know, pulling

0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:02.559
<v Speaker 1>a rabbit out of a hat. At this point, it's

0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>hard to see. Yeah, it's it's gonna make us definitely

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.360
<v Speaker 1>have to pay a lot more attention to a lot

0:12:06.400 --> 0:12:08.800
<v Speaker 1>more things than people at training camp to learn. Yeah, well,

0:12:08.840 --> 0:12:10.560
<v Speaker 1>the good news is we'll have a lot more to

0:12:10.600 --> 0:12:12.640
<v Speaker 1>talk about that will be fresh when a training camp

0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>this time. Right there, Um Tracy asked how can we

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:18.880
<v Speaker 1>improve our running game to help Brady out to have

0:12:18.920 --> 0:12:21.600
<v Speaker 1>a record setting year? So, Um, basically I would love

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:23.440
<v Speaker 1>to hear from you, especially is it going to be

0:12:23.440 --> 0:12:25.240
<v Speaker 1>more about the running backs? Are more about the old

0:12:25.240 --> 0:12:27.839
<v Speaker 1>line in your mind? Well, it's all together, and uh,

0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:32.240
<v Speaker 1>we already hopefully have helped by um by drafting Tristan Worfs,

0:12:32.240 --> 0:12:35.720
<v Speaker 1>who is a powerful runback blocker, and by adding Rob Gronkowski,

0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.040
<v Speaker 1>who's one of the best blocking tight ends in the league.

0:12:38.640 --> 0:12:41.400
<v Speaker 1>You put Rob next to Tristan Worse, and you know

0:12:41.440 --> 0:12:43.839
<v Speaker 1>you might have a lot more power over there. Even

0:12:44.080 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>even in his best days, the bar Dotson was probably

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:50.000
<v Speaker 1>a better pass blocker than a run blocker, and he

0:12:50.000 --> 0:12:51.280
<v Speaker 1>was good at both, and he was a great player

0:12:51.320 --> 0:12:53.600
<v Speaker 1>for US for ten years. But now you got Tristan

0:12:53.640 --> 0:12:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Worse and whenever Rob Gronkowski's line up were over there,

0:12:56.360 --> 0:12:59.960
<v Speaker 1>And I also think, uh, we might see more twelve

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:02.040
<v Speaker 1>personnel this year with two tight ends, so you'd have

0:13:02.080 --> 0:13:04.320
<v Speaker 1>a blocker on each side of the line, and we

0:13:04.360 --> 0:13:05.839
<v Speaker 1>can throw out of that as well. That's why we

0:13:05.880 --> 0:13:07.560
<v Speaker 1>can run a lot of that. There's a lot we

0:13:07.559 --> 0:13:09.360
<v Speaker 1>can do out of twelve personnel. But whenever you have

0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>twelve personnel in the field, you should be able to

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:14.079
<v Speaker 1>run the ball well. And that's something we really were

0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:16.559
<v Speaker 1>not good at at all last year. Surprisingly. I went

0:13:16.559 --> 0:13:18.560
<v Speaker 1>through the stats a little bit before he went on

0:13:18.640 --> 0:13:21.120
<v Speaker 1>vacation and for a story, and I think we average

0:13:21.120 --> 0:13:24.120
<v Speaker 1>about two point eight guards per carry while in twelve personnel,

0:13:24.120 --> 0:13:26.720
<v Speaker 1>and that that simply shouldn't be that that that group

0:13:26.800 --> 0:13:28.600
<v Speaker 1>should be better at running the ball, and I think

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.000
<v Speaker 1>you can expect some regression to the means simply the

0:13:32.040 --> 0:13:35.959
<v Speaker 1>results should be better regardless. But also that's another year

0:13:35.960 --> 0:13:37.720
<v Speaker 1>in the system for all those guys too. You have

0:13:37.760 --> 0:13:41.319
<v Speaker 1>four out of your five offensive lineman returning uh Ali

0:13:41.360 --> 0:13:44.200
<v Speaker 1>marpet got better, Diamond Smith got Petter, Bryan Jensen has

0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.640
<v Speaker 1>best year, Alex Kappa uh the coaches were saying they're

0:13:47.640 --> 0:13:49.200
<v Speaker 1>really happy with what he did in his first year.

0:13:49.240 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>You can probably expect him to get better, um and

0:13:51.920 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>then we'll see what the addition to Keyshawn Vonda is

0:13:54.200 --> 0:13:56.040
<v Speaker 1>in one more year for Ronald Jones. But it's kind

0:13:56.040 --> 0:13:58.000
<v Speaker 1>of you can't really say it's just the offensive line

0:13:58.040 --> 0:14:01.040
<v Speaker 1>or just the running backs that kind of all works together. Um,

0:14:01.080 --> 0:14:03.480
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of a room for improvement, especially on

0:14:03.520 --> 0:14:06.200
<v Speaker 1>a per Carrey basis. So I would suspect it will

0:14:06.240 --> 0:14:08.280
<v Speaker 1>be better this year. If it if it's a lot better,

0:14:08.760 --> 0:14:11.240
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna mean very good things for our offense. But

0:14:11.280 --> 0:14:14.319
<v Speaker 1>we'll see. Yeah. And Sean Asia asked what are your

0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>expectations for Sean Murphy Bunteen. Well, I mean we all

0:14:18.640 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>saw how Sean and Jamal Dean and Carlton Davis played

0:14:21.600 --> 0:14:25.480
<v Speaker 1>down the stretch last year. Um, they all were really

0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:27.120
<v Speaker 1>getting their hands on the football at which was a

0:14:27.120 --> 0:14:29.000
<v Speaker 1>big change for us, you know, even the first half

0:14:29.040 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 1>of that year, but also the last couple of years.

0:14:30.640 --> 0:14:33.160
<v Speaker 1>We just haven't had that kind of playmaking in the secondary. Now.

0:14:33.360 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>Todd Bowles was saying the other day that we need

0:14:35.600 --> 0:14:37.800
<v Speaker 1>to start catching those balls past his defense are great,

0:14:38.080 --> 0:14:41.240
<v Speaker 1>but we need more than to become interceptions. Uh So

0:14:41.320 --> 0:14:44.920
<v Speaker 1>all those guys, But the question was about Seawn so Um,

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:47.960
<v Speaker 1>for one thing, he's very very confident after that, and

0:14:48.320 --> 0:14:50.960
<v Speaker 1>he already was confident, but he was very confident after that,

0:14:51.000 --> 0:14:52.320
<v Speaker 1>and you could tell when he did one of these

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.200
<v Speaker 1>interviews earlier in the spring that that was the case.

0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:59.480
<v Speaker 1>And they all feel like that extensive film study has

0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.480
<v Speaker 1>really helped the a lot. And as I was saying earlier,

0:15:01.680 --> 0:15:03.200
<v Speaker 1>they feel like they're going to come into this just

0:15:03.560 --> 0:15:06.120
<v Speaker 1>this season with a better idea of not just what

0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:08.240
<v Speaker 1>they're supposed to do, but what the offense is trying

0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:10.160
<v Speaker 1>to do to them, and that will help them a lot.

0:15:11.080 --> 0:15:13.400
<v Speaker 1>You know, he's still just a second year player, so

0:15:13.400 --> 0:15:14.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to shoot for the moon here, but

0:15:14.880 --> 0:15:17.560
<v Speaker 1>he he had three interceptions last year and came on

0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:19.800
<v Speaker 1>strong at the end, So he could be our first

0:15:19.920 --> 0:15:22.200
<v Speaker 1>five or six in reception guy we've had in a while.

0:15:22.240 --> 0:15:23.800
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, we haven't had a lot of that

0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.400
<v Speaker 1>since I guess if you believe we've had, our leaders

0:15:26.400 --> 0:15:28.840
<v Speaker 1>have usually been around three or four. So of the

0:15:28.920 --> 0:15:30.680
<v Speaker 1>three guys that I just talked about, he was the

0:15:30.680 --> 0:15:33.040
<v Speaker 1>one who was best at converting his chances at the

0:15:33.040 --> 0:15:36.440
<v Speaker 1>football into interceptions. So I would say my expectations would

0:15:36.440 --> 0:15:39.520
<v Speaker 1>be that he would leave the team in interceptions, particularly

0:15:39.520 --> 0:15:42.040
<v Speaker 1>if he ends up playing that hybrid role where he

0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:43.760
<v Speaker 1>starts on the outside and base and then goes into

0:15:43.760 --> 0:15:45.720
<v Speaker 1>the nickel, which is where they're gonna start. There'll just

0:15:45.720 --> 0:15:48.680
<v Speaker 1>be competition after that. Okay, well that's gonna do it

0:15:48.720 --> 0:15:50.880
<v Speaker 1>for us on this edition of Buccaneers Inside a Live

0:15:50.920 --> 0:15:52.880
