0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:09.799
<v Speaker 1>is time for Buccaneers Inside our Live presented by Miller.

0:00:09.880 --> 0:00:12.879
<v Speaker 1>Like Casey Phillips, here was senior writer and editor Scott Smith.

0:00:12.920 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>And as always, this is where we take all of

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:17.279
<v Speaker 1>your questions, and I'm sure there are a lot of

0:00:17.280 --> 0:00:18.919
<v Speaker 1>them because we've been gone for a few weeks. This

0:00:19.000 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>is always the time of year when the office kind

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.480
<v Speaker 1>of shuts down a little bit, people take their vacations,

0:00:23.520 --> 0:00:25.040
<v Speaker 1>and then now we are ready to hit the ground.

0:00:25.120 --> 0:00:28.319
<v Speaker 1>Riding training camp is starting this week, So if you

0:00:28.320 --> 0:00:30.800
<v Speaker 1>have questions for us, head on over to the Buccaneers

0:00:30.840 --> 0:00:34.120
<v Speaker 1>Facebook page and you can ask them there. And before

0:00:34.200 --> 0:00:36.440
<v Speaker 1>we start getting to some of those, give people chance

0:00:36.479 --> 0:00:38.720
<v Speaker 1>to submit some of them. Of course, there was the

0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:41.720
<v Speaker 1>White House visit yesterday and I know you got to

0:00:41.760 --> 0:00:43.320
<v Speaker 1>be one of the lucky people to go, so tell

0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>us a little bit about what that was like and

0:00:45.800 --> 0:00:48.720
<v Speaker 1>what happened and just getting to witness such a big

0:00:48.720 --> 0:00:52.159
<v Speaker 1>event in buccaneer history. Yeah, I definitely feel felt privileged

0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.760
<v Speaker 1>to be along for that ride because it is it

0:00:54.880 --> 0:00:56.880
<v Speaker 1>is a big moment. As most people know, the Buccaneers

0:00:56.880 --> 0:00:58.360
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to go to the White House when they

0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.680
<v Speaker 1>won Super Bowl thirty seven due to basically world events

0:01:02.120 --> 0:01:04.880
<v Speaker 1>and um. And then recently, you know, teams haven't been

0:01:04.880 --> 0:01:07.880
<v Speaker 1>going for for a variety of reasons, you know, including

0:01:07.920 --> 0:01:09.920
<v Speaker 1>the virus. So this is the first team to go

0:01:10.000 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>since two first NFL team to go since two thousand

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.480
<v Speaker 1>and seventeen. UM. So it was. Yeah, it was a

0:01:15.480 --> 0:01:18.080
<v Speaker 1>big moment, and I think everybody treated it as such.

0:01:18.120 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>And I can tell you one thing. It was very,

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:24.440
<v Speaker 1>very hot. I'm sure that fans saw all those players

0:01:24.480 --> 0:01:27.520
<v Speaker 1>and the coaches sweating behind President Biden. But that was

0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 1>it was well worth it. And I'll tell you one

0:01:29.480 --> 0:01:33.080
<v Speaker 1>big takeaway from me is I'm really People in Foxboro

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:34.840
<v Speaker 1>will probably already know this, have known for years, but

0:01:34.880 --> 0:01:37.679
<v Speaker 1>it's becoming increasingly obvious that Tom Brady make sure he

0:01:37.760 --> 0:01:40.520
<v Speaker 1>is well prepared for any big moment, whether it be

0:01:40.560 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>a football game or in this case, a speech on

0:01:42.680 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>the South Bone at the White House. Because he he

0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:46.360
<v Speaker 1>was nailing it. I mean, he had the jokes and

0:01:46.400 --> 0:01:49.440
<v Speaker 1>they were well timed, and they hit the mark, and uh,

0:01:49.440 --> 0:01:51.280
<v Speaker 1>he did a really nice job and a very brief

0:01:51.320 --> 0:01:54.080
<v Speaker 1>little he packed a lot into a pretty brief little speech,

0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, you could tell he was prepared

0:01:56.240 --> 0:01:58.800
<v Speaker 1>and he enjoyed himself. Yeah, That's what I love about

0:01:58.880 --> 0:02:01.000
<v Speaker 1>him is it's not even just ball, it's anything like

0:02:01.080 --> 0:02:03.880
<v Speaker 1>you see that same preparation and work ethics. So I

0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:06.920
<v Speaker 1>think if he was that well prepared for that speech,

0:02:06.960 --> 0:02:08.919
<v Speaker 1>I don't think anybody has to worry about his preparation

0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:11.520
<v Speaker 1>for the season as well. He's gonna be doing just

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.760
<v Speaker 1>as well with that. Um okay. Our first question is

0:02:14.760 --> 0:02:17.080
<v Speaker 1>from Daniel who asked, how good on paper is our

0:02:17.080 --> 0:02:22.960
<v Speaker 1>special teams compared to last year and what is its potential? Well, yeah,

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 1>I would say in some cases it's the same on paper.

0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:28.760
<v Speaker 1>You know that you would expect Ryan stuck Up to

0:02:28.800 --> 0:02:31.720
<v Speaker 1>be good again after he basically solved that problem that

0:02:31.760 --> 0:02:34.320
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks had at the kicker spot for about a decade.

0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.000
<v Speaker 1>It was very much the reliable kicker, especially from four

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:40.840
<v Speaker 1>yards in that that coach wanted the team has been

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:43.639
<v Speaker 1>trying to get for a long time. Bradley, opinion, is

0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:48.000
<v Speaker 1>still a very good directional and and uh in situational punter,

0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:50.720
<v Speaker 1>and he also is great on touchbacks. I don't think

0:02:50.720 --> 0:02:53.679
<v Speaker 1>any of that will change the questions therefore, are will

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:55.960
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks be better in coverage and will be better

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:58.840
<v Speaker 1>in return. The return game was okay last year. We're

0:02:58.919 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>not really a lot of big plays until the very end.

0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:05.000
<v Speaker 1>And uh, the coverage by rankings at least wasn't very good.

0:03:05.080 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>You know, you don't get a lot of kickoff returns,

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>So don't read too much in the fact that the

0:03:08.440 --> 0:03:11.400
<v Speaker 1>Bucks were last in coverage, because one big return can

0:03:11.400 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty much kill your average when you only have maybe

0:03:14.000 --> 0:03:15.919
<v Speaker 1>twelve or thirteen of them, then the cover all year.

0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.720
<v Speaker 1>But the coverage needs to be better, and the Buccaneers

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.040
<v Speaker 1>paid attention to that in the draft, and they drafted

0:03:21.080 --> 0:03:24.120
<v Speaker 1>guys that maybe could you know, have defensive our offensive

0:03:24.160 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>roles in the future, but really are expected to help

0:03:26.280 --> 0:03:29.040
<v Speaker 1>out right away and on special teams, including the linebackers

0:03:29.120 --> 0:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>kJ Brett and Grant Steward, and they both know that

0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.360
<v Speaker 1>they both are well aware that they're being counted on.

0:03:33.600 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>And if those guys are core special teamers, then maybe

0:03:36.560 --> 0:03:38.400
<v Speaker 1>it will get a little bit better. And maybe Jalen

0:03:38.480 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Darden will you know, win the return job and provide

0:03:41.600 --> 0:03:44.160
<v Speaker 1>a spark there. So there's definitely a chance on paper

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.520
<v Speaker 1>that the Bucks will be better, uh in those in

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:48.440
<v Speaker 1>those two areas, of special teams, but obviously we have

0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:49.800
<v Speaker 1>a long way to go to find out that out

0:03:49.840 --> 0:03:54.160
<v Speaker 1>for sure. Yes, very true. Um Christopher asked who's going

0:03:54.200 --> 0:03:56.800
<v Speaker 1>to back up Shack and JPP? So overall, I feel

0:03:56.800 --> 0:03:58.760
<v Speaker 1>like it'd be good to just talk about that position

0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.880
<v Speaker 1>and not only starter verse backup, but just kind of

0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:04.840
<v Speaker 1>the number of reps you see certain guys getting, because

0:04:04.840 --> 0:04:08.200
<v Speaker 1>that's definitely position where starter verse backup doesn't always um

0:04:08.600 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>mean the same thing depending on who those guys are. Yeah,

0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:14.160
<v Speaker 1>if you were asking who the who the backup was to, like, say,

0:04:14.200 --> 0:04:16.680
<v Speaker 1>the inside linebackers, it would be a different question because

0:04:16.760 --> 0:04:18.440
<v Speaker 1>barring injury, that guy is not going to play at

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:20.599
<v Speaker 1>all because Lavante and Devon never come off the field.

0:04:20.640 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>But when you're talking about the outside linebackers and the

0:04:22.400 --> 0:04:25.400
<v Speaker 1>edge rushers, you're talking about a rotation because those guys

0:04:25.480 --> 0:04:28.040
<v Speaker 1>never play a hundred percent of the snaps. Now, Barrett

0:04:28.080 --> 0:04:30.839
<v Speaker 1>and and JPP are very much up there in terms

0:04:30.880 --> 0:04:33.120
<v Speaker 1>of how many snaps they do play. They both take,

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>especially JPP. They both want to be on the field

0:04:35.240 --> 0:04:37.359
<v Speaker 1>a lot, but you do want to have a rotation,

0:04:37.360 --> 0:04:39.880
<v Speaker 1>and maybe even a little bit deeper of one this year,

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:43.400
<v Speaker 1>just to keep those two guys fresh for one thing, Um,

0:04:43.680 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you saw what can happen when that pass rushes at

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.720
<v Speaker 1>its best in the last two games of the postseason. Um. Obviously,

0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.680
<v Speaker 1>last year, Anthony Nelson was your third guy and he

0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:56.599
<v Speaker 1>played about the defensive snaps and really other than that,

0:04:56.640 --> 0:04:59.400
<v Speaker 1>there wasn't much. I mean, Quentin Bell got here and

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>there got a upple snaps, but it was basically just

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.360
<v Speaker 1>those two guys and then Anython Nelson in the rotation.

0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>And now you have those three guys plus Joe try On,

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:09.479
<v Speaker 1>and I know they want him to be in the

0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:12.080
<v Speaker 1>rotation right away and think that he can make a

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:13.680
<v Speaker 1>mark right away. So I think you got a little

0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:15.960
<v Speaker 1>bit deeper there than you have in the past. And

0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:19.080
<v Speaker 1>you you're you're in a situation assuming that Joe Tryon,

0:05:19.279 --> 0:05:21.719
<v Speaker 1>can you know, play well enough as the Bucks expect

0:05:21.800 --> 0:05:24.400
<v Speaker 1>him to to be comfortable with him on the field,

0:05:24.440 --> 0:05:27.320
<v Speaker 1>you you might be able to give Shack and JPP

0:05:27.440 --> 0:05:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more of a breather this year. So

0:05:29.440 --> 0:05:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I actually think, barring injury, the rotation there is pretty good.

0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.360
<v Speaker 1>And I don't want to get you know, forget Quentin

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>Bell either. Um his coach Um has already said, he's

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, Larry Foote, He's already, He's already. Um, what's

0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.880
<v Speaker 1>what I'm looking for. He's lobbying to keep five guys

0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.520
<v Speaker 1>at that position this year. So whether it be Quentin

0:05:47.520 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>Bell or Cam cam Gill is actually what I meant

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.320
<v Speaker 1>to be talking about. Um, whether it be one of

0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.200
<v Speaker 1>those two guys is the fifth guy, so you have

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:54.919
<v Speaker 1>a shot to have a deeper rotation there than in

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:57.120
<v Speaker 1>the past. I'm sor, are you telling me a position

0:05:57.160 --> 0:06:01.039
<v Speaker 1>coach is lobbying for more guys at his position that

0:06:01.040 --> 0:06:03.520
<v Speaker 1>that's brand new, that's never happened before. It just needs

0:06:03.560 --> 0:06:05.919
<v Speaker 1>more work for him. I guess yeah. I always love that.

0:06:05.960 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>They're always like, no, my position needs to be one

0:06:08.160 --> 0:06:10.240
<v Speaker 1>the one with the extra players. Like, but you're not

0:06:10.279 --> 0:06:13.600
<v Speaker 1>biased at all. I think receivers coaches are usually like that.

0:06:15.040 --> 0:06:17.039
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, they're like, actually, if we could have fifty three,

0:06:17.080 --> 0:06:20.880
<v Speaker 1>that'd be great. Um, okay, our next one, Richard asked

0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.400
<v Speaker 1>how big is the ring ceremony ceremony going to be

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.560
<v Speaker 1>and will it be live? It will not be broadcast live,

0:06:27.720 --> 0:06:30.599
<v Speaker 1>but we will have tons of coverage from it going

0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>on to our website or social media. All of that stuff,

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:34.680
<v Speaker 1>So make sure you stay tuned tomorrow night for all

0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.279
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna be showing the rings, showing guys getting

0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.840
<v Speaker 1>the rings, and yeah, believe me, there's there's gonna be

0:06:39.839 --> 0:06:41.680
<v Speaker 1>plenty of stuff up there. It's just not something that

0:06:41.680 --> 0:06:44.640
<v Speaker 1>will be broadcast live per se um. I think part

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>of that is even just the abilities to and they've

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, a lot of the planning of events in

0:06:48.240 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>COVID times has been a little less minute and having

0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.480
<v Speaker 1>to move things around. So yeah, it's it's not going

0:06:53.520 --> 0:06:55.279
<v Speaker 1>to be live, but you will get to see plenty

0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:57.320
<v Speaker 1>from it. And in terms of how big, I don't

0:06:57.360 --> 0:07:00.360
<v Speaker 1>know if he means how many people or how much

0:07:00.440 --> 0:07:02.400
<v Speaker 1>production is going into it, but I think the answer

0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:04.719
<v Speaker 1>is both. It means basically the whole bucks. Uh, you know,

0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:09.159
<v Speaker 1>employees and and players, coaches, staff, all of that, and um,

0:07:09.440 --> 0:07:12.120
<v Speaker 1>I get to which I'm very excited about. So yeah,

0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>I'll get a chance to introduce you know, the players

0:07:14.480 --> 0:07:16.320
<v Speaker 1>that are all going to speak, ownership is gonna speak.

0:07:16.360 --> 0:07:18.680
<v Speaker 1>There's gonna be some videos about the ring in the season.

0:07:18.800 --> 0:07:21.480
<v Speaker 1>So yes, it's gonna be a very fun event. I

0:07:21.480 --> 0:07:23.040
<v Speaker 1>think I spoke over you, so just to make sure

0:07:23.040 --> 0:07:25.720
<v Speaker 1>everybody heard you're going to be in seeing the event. Yes, yes,

0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:27.800
<v Speaker 1>I am so. Yeah, I get to introduce all the people.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>So it's heard your voice when I was coming back

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.600
<v Speaker 1>in the airport the other day, right on the tune. Yes,

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.200
<v Speaker 1>the voice of the tram on at Tampa Airport. Just

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:38.080
<v Speaker 1>for another little bit. It was just for the month

0:07:38.080 --> 0:07:41.840
<v Speaker 1>of July. Um, Yes, but it was very cool. Yeah,

0:07:41.840 --> 0:07:43.480
<v Speaker 1>it was a fundraiser for a United Way and it

0:07:43.560 --> 0:07:46.920
<v Speaker 1>was a very cool opportunity to receive videos from all

0:07:46.960 --> 0:07:50.960
<v Speaker 1>of my friends listening to me on the drom. Um.

0:07:51.040 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 1>So are We also wanted to bring up, um, the

0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>way training camp is gonna work at. This will be

0:07:56.960 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>our last insider for a bit like this because we

0:08:00.320 --> 0:08:02.040
<v Speaker 1>are going to be having training camp lives. It made

0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:03.520
<v Speaker 1>me think of it when somebody was asking about if

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.360
<v Speaker 1>the ring ceremonies live that training camp. We will be

0:08:06.360 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>doing these live shows from every open practice for the

0:08:09.520 --> 0:08:12.200
<v Speaker 1>first thirty minutes of practice. Um, and we know that,

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, there's gonna be a lot of people who

0:08:13.520 --> 0:08:15.080
<v Speaker 1>want to come to training camp that aren't going to

0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:16.800
<v Speaker 1>get a chance to just because of all the stuff

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:19.280
<v Speaker 1>of COVID and having to restrict how many people come

0:08:19.360 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and even you know, some days in the indoor. So

0:08:21.480 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna try to give you guys as much as

0:08:23.160 --> 0:08:26.640
<v Speaker 1>we possibly can as a way to watch practice and

0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.520
<v Speaker 1>be in there. Um. So I would definitely, um if

0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:32.319
<v Speaker 1>you if you want to see what's going on in advice,

0:08:32.400 --> 0:08:34.960
<v Speaker 1>tune and into that for every practice, because my understanding

0:08:35.000 --> 0:08:36.839
<v Speaker 1>is we're gonna have more cameras on the field and

0:08:36.840 --> 0:08:38.320
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna be able to show more of the work

0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:40.440
<v Speaker 1>than just you know, sometimes in the past it's been

0:08:40.480 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>whatever happens to be right behind us, But I think

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna do more to bring the action from camps

0:08:45.400 --> 0:08:49.080
<v Speaker 1>fans during that show. So definitely see that stuff. Yes,

0:08:49.120 --> 0:08:52.440
<v Speaker 1>Thankfully because of of COVID rules, now we can have

0:08:52.520 --> 0:08:55.120
<v Speaker 1>camera people right there on the sideline, whereas last year

0:08:55.160 --> 0:08:57.440
<v Speaker 1>we had to kind of rely on a robo cam

0:08:57.760 --> 0:09:00.000
<v Speaker 1>that we were that our producer was trying to operate

0:09:00.040 --> 0:09:02.880
<v Speaker 1>it while also producing and directing us. So yeah, I

0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:04.520
<v Speaker 1>think this year we're gonna have a lot more action

0:09:04.600 --> 0:09:07.000
<v Speaker 1>from right on the field. So we're excited about that. Uh.

0:09:07.000 --> 0:09:09.360
<v Speaker 1>And Delvin asked us, since we returned all the starters,

0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.720
<v Speaker 1>where do you see the best position battle being yeah,

0:09:12.760 --> 0:09:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I like that question, and there are always battles and

0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.800
<v Speaker 1>UM coach was basically asked something along those line if

0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:22.520
<v Speaker 1>there would be competitions in camp of and the question

0:09:22.559 --> 0:09:25.880
<v Speaker 1>I actually asked him for starting spots, and he said, oh, no,

0:09:26.000 --> 0:09:28.760
<v Speaker 1>probably not starting spots. And every coach will tell you

0:09:28.800 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>that you have to you have to battle, and you

0:09:30.440 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 1>have to keep your job, you know you unless I

0:09:32.440 --> 0:09:34.280
<v Speaker 1>mean Tom Brady is not gonna lose his job. But

0:09:34.720 --> 0:09:36.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't just roll into camp as a veteran and

0:09:36.720 --> 0:09:38.560
<v Speaker 1>assume you're gonna get your job if you don't perform

0:09:38.600 --> 0:09:41.679
<v Speaker 1>better than the gap behind you. But practically speaking, the

0:09:41.720 --> 0:09:44.560
<v Speaker 1>starting lineups are pretty much set, but he said there's

0:09:44.559 --> 0:09:47.400
<v Speaker 1>definitely competition for other jobs and four spots on the

0:09:47.440 --> 0:09:50.719
<v Speaker 1>depth chart, and and and sometimes not even whether or

0:09:50.760 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>not they get a job, and whether or not they

0:09:52.080 --> 0:09:53.679
<v Speaker 1>get at home on Sunday, but just how big their

0:09:53.760 --> 0:09:54.960
<v Speaker 1>role is going to be. And the one that I

0:09:55.000 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>find most intriguing is the running back situation. And I

0:09:57.920 --> 0:10:00.520
<v Speaker 1>honestly get asked this a lot, and I honestly have

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.360
<v Speaker 1>to say I don't know the answer yet, and I

0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:04.240
<v Speaker 1>think it's fair to say that I don't think the

0:10:04.280 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>coaches know for sure the entire answer in the backfield.

0:10:07.480 --> 0:10:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Yet um, you know, Ronald Jones was the starter, the

0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:14.680
<v Speaker 1>guy getting basically a two to one carry of margin

0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:17.200
<v Speaker 1>over the Leonard Fournett during the regular season and was

0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:19.280
<v Speaker 1>productive and was going to have a thousand yard season

0:10:19.280 --> 0:10:22.360
<v Speaker 1>before he missed time at the end and lost that opportunity.

0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:25.160
<v Speaker 1>And then when that happened, Leonard Fournete stepped in and

0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.120
<v Speaker 1>we all know what happened in the playoffs. And so

0:10:27.160 --> 0:10:29.320
<v Speaker 1>now he's got the momentum and you've seen him be

0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:32.480
<v Speaker 1>the kind of producer that made him the I think

0:10:32.480 --> 0:10:35.240
<v Speaker 1>fourth overall pick in the draft a few years ago. Uh.

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:36.760
<v Speaker 1>And so you got both of those guys that the

0:10:36.800 --> 0:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>coaches really like in coach arians called them basically thinks

0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:43.400
<v Speaker 1>of both the starters. It's intriguing enough how the carries

0:10:43.440 --> 0:10:45.600
<v Speaker 1>and touches are gonna be split between those two guys.

0:10:45.800 --> 0:10:47.960
<v Speaker 1>But then also factor in that the Bucks now have

0:10:48.040 --> 0:10:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Geo Barney Bernard, who was one of the best pass

0:10:50.360 --> 0:10:52.120
<v Speaker 1>catching backs in the league and that's an area we

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:55.439
<v Speaker 1>could probably use more of. And Keyshawn Bonn, the guy

0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.560
<v Speaker 1>they drafted in the third round just a year ago,

0:10:57.840 --> 0:10:59.840
<v Speaker 1>and I know they like him. Coach arians and said

0:10:59.880 --> 0:11:02.600
<v Speaker 1>they if they have all the trust in the world

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 1>as a runner, it's just how has he's a past catcher?

0:11:05.920 --> 0:11:08.720
<v Speaker 1>How has he as a block on the backfield? I think,

0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:11.120
<v Speaker 1>especially considering the fact that of those four guys, the

0:11:11.120 --> 0:11:13.480
<v Speaker 1>only one under contract pass this year is Shaan Vonn,

0:11:13.800 --> 0:11:15.280
<v Speaker 1>you gotta believe they'd like to see what they have

0:11:15.360 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>in him. So how did they figure out how to

0:11:17.600 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>get the ball distributed amongst those four guys? And again,

0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:23.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't think the answer is set yet. It's going

0:11:23.000 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>to be set by how those guys doing camp in

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the early part of the season. So to me, that's

0:11:26.880 --> 0:11:29.680
<v Speaker 1>the number one competition that that I find intriguing because

0:11:29.679 --> 0:11:31.760
<v Speaker 1>I don't really know what the answer is. Yeah, Yeah,

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a great point sort of related to this.

0:11:33.960 --> 0:11:36.520
<v Speaker 1>Alan had asked, do you think Tyler Johnson will have

0:11:36.559 --> 0:11:38.640
<v Speaker 1>a bigger role this year? So for me, that's definitely

0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:42.160
<v Speaker 1>one of the position battles that I will be intrigued by.

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Is you know, kind of like we talked about earlier,

0:11:44.280 --> 0:11:46.839
<v Speaker 1>how many wide receivers do you keep? Is it because

0:11:46.840 --> 0:11:49.280
<v Speaker 1>of special teams? Is it because of their wide receiver role?

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.960
<v Speaker 1>And you know what those guys behind your Mike Evans,

0:11:53.000 --> 0:11:55.240
<v Speaker 1>Chris Goddens that were like, okay, yes, we know their

0:11:55.320 --> 0:11:56.840
<v Speaker 1>their thing. What what do you see in terms of

0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.800
<v Speaker 1>those last wide receiver spots and Tyler Johnson's role. That's

0:11:59.840 --> 0:12:02.400
<v Speaker 1>it interesting because to start this week with camp coming

0:12:02.400 --> 0:12:04.280
<v Speaker 1>at the end of the week, I put a story

0:12:04.320 --> 0:12:07.560
<v Speaker 1>on buccaneers dot Com just saying six other than the

0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:10.760
<v Speaker 1>obvious guys and people first time that fans have got

0:12:10.800 --> 0:12:12.679
<v Speaker 1>to come to camp. You know, select groups have got

0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:15.160
<v Speaker 1>to come to camp since we got Tom Brady. So yes,

0:12:15.160 --> 0:12:17.360
<v Speaker 1>everybody's gonna be watching Tom Brady and everybody's gonna be

0:12:17.360 --> 0:12:19.720
<v Speaker 1>watching Devin Wide Shack Bear. But how about some other

0:12:19.720 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 1>guys to keep an eye on because they have interesting

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>stories heading into camp. Tyler Johnson was one of my

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.640
<v Speaker 1>six choices for that list, and that's partly because of

0:12:28.679 --> 0:12:31.240
<v Speaker 1>a lot of the guys going into camp. His role

0:12:32.559 --> 0:12:35.360
<v Speaker 1>is it's not obvious how he his path to two

0:12:35.400 --> 0:12:38.600
<v Speaker 1>more playing time, but there is room for him to

0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.200
<v Speaker 1>grow quite a bit in his role depending on what

0:12:41.240 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>happens with the rest of the receivers. Because the situation

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.560
<v Speaker 1>is basically the same as last year in terms of

0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:48.760
<v Speaker 1>It's hard to picture how he gets the ball a

0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.400
<v Speaker 1>lot when you are when you have Mike Evans and

0:12:50.440 --> 0:12:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown and Scotty Miller and all

0:12:52.880 --> 0:12:54.839
<v Speaker 1>those tight ends, and now you might be throwing more

0:12:55.160 --> 0:12:58.480
<v Speaker 1>passes to the running backs. So where's the Where's the

0:12:58.480 --> 0:13:01.600
<v Speaker 1>football for Tyler Johnson? But they found ways to get

0:13:01.640 --> 0:13:03.280
<v Speaker 1>him in. I know we only had like twelve catches

0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.120
<v Speaker 1>last year, but there were some big ones, like the

0:13:05.160 --> 0:13:07.160
<v Speaker 1>big third down catch in New Orleans in the claoffs,

0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:09.520
<v Speaker 1>had a couple of touchdowns where he was about Tom

0:13:09.520 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 1>Brady's fourth or fifth read, but he made sure he

0:13:11.840 --> 0:13:13.760
<v Speaker 1>stayed on his route and was there where he's supposed

0:13:13.800 --> 0:13:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to be when Tom got to him. I think there's

0:13:16.480 --> 0:13:19.240
<v Speaker 1>promising this guy, and at some point you're gonna be

0:13:19.320 --> 0:13:22.240
<v Speaker 1>needing to think about replacing And how long is Antonio

0:13:22.320 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>Brown gonna be here? Are the Bucks gonna be able

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.920
<v Speaker 1>to sign Chris Godwin long term? I hope so, but

0:13:25.960 --> 0:13:28.520
<v Speaker 1>you never know. So Again, like he shan Van, they

0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:29.880
<v Speaker 1>want to know what they have in this guy, and

0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.120
<v Speaker 1>I think he's got a lot of talent and a

0:13:31.120 --> 0:13:33.640
<v Speaker 1>lot of potential. I think he could blossom someone in

0:13:33.640 --> 0:13:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the way that Chris Godwin did. It's it's you know,

0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot to put on a guy, but we're

0:13:37.480 --> 0:13:40.000
<v Speaker 1>talking about a Day two or Day three pick who

0:13:40.040 --> 0:13:42.640
<v Speaker 1>was produced well more than that would suggest that. I know,

0:13:42.679 --> 0:13:43.880
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks felt like they got a bit of the

0:13:43.920 --> 0:13:46.440
<v Speaker 1>steel when they got Tyler Johnson in the fifth round.

0:13:46.480 --> 0:13:48.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's a very intriguing story. It's hard to see

0:13:48.760 --> 0:13:50.400
<v Speaker 1>the path a lot of playing time, but yet I

0:13:50.480 --> 0:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>still feel like there's a chance that does get more

0:13:52.320 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 1>this year. And you brought up to Chris Goden thing

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:56.640
<v Speaker 1>will close with this. Antony had asked, are there any

0:13:56.800 --> 0:14:00.840
<v Speaker 1>updates on the Chris Godwin resigning situation. Well, we're past

0:14:00.880 --> 0:14:02.840
<v Speaker 1>the deadline where that can happen. He has to play

0:14:02.880 --> 0:14:06.600
<v Speaker 1>this year on the the one year the tag one

0:14:06.679 --> 0:14:08.680
<v Speaker 1>year contract. That doesn't mean that the Bucks and he

0:14:08.720 --> 0:14:11.480
<v Speaker 1>has to stop talking. They can still start laying the

0:14:11.520 --> 0:14:14.400
<v Speaker 1>groundwork for the potential of a new contract after the

0:14:14.440 --> 0:14:17.000
<v Speaker 1>season over much as like what happened with Shaq Barrett.

0:14:17.360 --> 0:14:19.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure it seems logical with the Bucks would like

0:14:19.880 --> 0:14:21.880
<v Speaker 1>to keep Chris Godwin around, but you just never know.

0:14:22.320 --> 0:14:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Um and then some players when they get to the season,

0:14:25.600 --> 0:14:27.720
<v Speaker 1>like to say, hey, I'm not gonna let that be

0:14:27.800 --> 0:14:30.200
<v Speaker 1>a distraction for the year. Let's take all those talks

0:14:30.240 --> 0:14:31.880
<v Speaker 1>till we get to the end, so you never know,

0:14:31.920 --> 0:14:33.600
<v Speaker 1>there could be stuff going on in the background. But

0:14:33.680 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>this year he will play on a one year contract.

0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:37.440
<v Speaker 1>All right, Well, that is going to do it for us.

0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:39.720
<v Speaker 1>On this edition of Buccaneers Inside Our Live, presented by

0:14:39.720 --> 0:14:42.080
<v Speaker 1>Miller Lyte and again, we will be going live the

0:14:42.160 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 1>first thirty minutes of every open training camp practice to

0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:47.760
<v Speaker 1>make sure you join us there. We'll still be taking
