WEBVTT - Will the Super Bowl Be A High Scoring Matchup? | Bucs Insider

0:00:04.600 --> 0:00:07.560
<v Speaker 1>Hey there, Bucks fans. Good morning everybody. It is time

0:00:07.640 --> 0:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>for Buccaneers and satur Live presented by Miller Like Casey

0:00:10.440 --> 0:00:13.800
<v Speaker 1>Phillips and Scott Smith here with you again, just like

0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:16.360
<v Speaker 1>we were here yesterday morning, and we will be here

0:00:16.400 --> 0:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>tomorrow mornings. While to get you guys all ready to

0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:21.239
<v Speaker 1>go for the Super Bowl, which is just a few

0:00:21.320 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 1>days away. It feels like we've been waiting for this forever.

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.840
<v Speaker 1>Two weeks is brutal. I'm dying over here. I'm ready

0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>for the game to be here. But at least we

0:00:29.960 --> 0:00:31.600
<v Speaker 1>have this to be able to talk about all Bucks

0:00:31.600 --> 0:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>things until that time. UM, So if you guys have

0:00:34.120 --> 0:00:35.839
<v Speaker 1>questions for us, make sure you put them in the

0:00:35.840 --> 0:00:39.479
<v Speaker 1>comment section underneath the Facebook Live video. Now, I know,

0:00:39.680 --> 0:00:43.000
<v Speaker 1>injuries is definitely where we're gonna start. Um, as of yesterday,

0:00:43.120 --> 0:00:45.080
<v Speaker 1>we were still sort of operating off of the injury

0:00:45.080 --> 0:00:47.960
<v Speaker 1>report from last week that had the designations as if

0:00:48.000 --> 0:00:50.640
<v Speaker 1>it had been the game was last time, and you know, yeah,

0:00:50.640 --> 0:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>they kind of had a walk through Tuesday, but those

0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:55.080
<v Speaker 1>aren't as helpful. So now at least we do have

0:00:55.160 --> 0:00:57.480
<v Speaker 1>more recent information. There was a practice, there was an

0:00:57.480 --> 0:00:59.160
<v Speaker 1>injury report, so what can you tell us about some

0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:01.400
<v Speaker 1>of those updates. Yeah, first off, I'm gonna have to

0:01:01.400 --> 0:01:02.920
<v Speaker 1>disagree with you. I think it was a very good

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.240
<v Speaker 1>thing that we had these two weeks because some of

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.360
<v Speaker 1>these guys might not have been ready to go last Sunday.

0:01:07.600 --> 0:01:09.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I was just talking about my poor little heart.

0:01:09.520 --> 0:01:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't talking about for the sake of the team.

0:01:11.319 --> 0:01:13.880
<v Speaker 1>I was just talking about my anxiety over here. That

0:01:14.040 --> 0:01:17.880
<v Speaker 1>is number one. So I understand. Um, yeah, it's I

0:01:17.920 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 1>think it was good news. Uh, all four of the

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:23.640
<v Speaker 1>guys that were concerned about are did practice, Yes, but

0:01:23.800 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>the only player who didn't practice was Jason Pierre Paul.

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:28.720
<v Speaker 1>And honestly, I'm not sure he's practiced in a month.

0:01:28.840 --> 0:01:30.959
<v Speaker 1>He just they're really made I'm not kidding. I think

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:32.760
<v Speaker 1>I really don't think he's practicing in a month, and

0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:36.120
<v Speaker 1>they're just trying to maintain that knee. He knows what

0:01:36.160 --> 0:01:38.440
<v Speaker 1>he's doing. On game day, as we can tell, he's

0:01:38.440 --> 0:01:40.920
<v Speaker 1>playing very well. So, um, if the guys we were

0:01:40.920 --> 0:01:44.040
<v Speaker 1>concerned about obviously are Lavante David with the hamstring, Jordan

0:01:44.080 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>whitehead shoulder, Antoine Winfield Junior with the ankle, and Antonio

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:52.240
<v Speaker 1>Brown at the knee. So a full gamut there. Um,

0:01:52.360 --> 0:01:54.560
<v Speaker 1>they all practiced in a limited fashion yesterday, which is

0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:56.559
<v Speaker 1>I think what you were hoping for heading into this week,

0:01:56.600 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>that by the beginning they're at least running around. Um,

0:01:59.480 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>Jordan wy ight Head had a black jersey on, which

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>meant no contact, so make sure you don't hit him.

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:07.680
<v Speaker 1>But he's coaching. He's running around fine, which you know,

0:02:07.760 --> 0:02:10.320
<v Speaker 1>of course it's a shoulder injury, so just don't hit

0:02:10.360 --> 0:02:12.840
<v Speaker 1>him on the shoulder right now. Um, you know, it's

0:02:12.880 --> 0:02:16.240
<v Speaker 1>a good start to the week. I think that's about

0:02:16.240 --> 0:02:18.040
<v Speaker 1>all I can say about that. It's just it's it

0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:20.400
<v Speaker 1>was the right It was the right first step in.

0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:23.120
<v Speaker 1>And by the way, Super Bowl Pro practices are a

0:02:23.160 --> 0:02:26.480
<v Speaker 1>little different than usual because they're actually not open to

0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:29.280
<v Speaker 1>the media, and we included ourselves in that. So the

0:02:29.320 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>only person going to practice is the pool report reporter,

0:02:31.960 --> 0:02:33.640
<v Speaker 1>which in this case was Rick Stroud of the Tampa

0:02:33.680 --> 0:02:36.680
<v Speaker 1>Bay Times, so he shared all that information. Of course,

0:02:36.680 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 1>coach talked about it, but he also pointed out that

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:41.359
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks broke off in the middle of practice, went

0:02:41.560 --> 0:02:43.520
<v Speaker 1>into the indoor facility and stayed there for twenty six

0:02:43.600 --> 0:02:46.120
<v Speaker 1>minutes because they were simulating. He wanted to get used

0:02:46.120 --> 0:02:48.600
<v Speaker 1>to how long halftimes are the Super Bowl, Because they're

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>usually like thirteen minutes. You basically have time to go in,

0:02:51.320 --> 0:02:53.520
<v Speaker 1>sit down, take care of a few things, maybe talk

0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:54.920
<v Speaker 1>to your coaches for a couple of mints, and go

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:56.519
<v Speaker 1>right back out. But this one is going to feel

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:59.560
<v Speaker 1>like an extended period for those guys. That's an interesting point.

0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:01.239
<v Speaker 1>I like the idea of getting in used to that

0:03:01.240 --> 0:03:03.360
<v Speaker 1>that that's a that is an interesting point. Um Jay

0:03:03.440 --> 0:03:06.280
<v Speaker 1>asked what is the deal with Kansas City and their

0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:10.160
<v Speaker 1>COVID scare What's the deal? I mean, the way I

0:03:10.200 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>understand it, Uh, they have Uh they had a barber

0:03:14.160 --> 0:03:16.480
<v Speaker 1>probably you know, we've seen this before. Back when we

0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:20.320
<v Speaker 1>were allowed in the building. There'd be guys people in

0:03:20.360 --> 0:03:23.600
<v Speaker 1>the service industry who would sometimes come by because it's

0:03:23.600 --> 0:03:25.160
<v Speaker 1>hard for these guys to find time in their day,

0:03:25.200 --> 0:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>so maybe they're buying suits or something like this. That

0:03:27.919 --> 0:03:30.080
<v Speaker 1>in this case, um, they were all a lot of

0:03:30.200 --> 0:03:32.639
<v Speaker 1>Chiefs were gonna get their hair cut by the same guy. So,

0:03:32.760 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>and I don't know if it's in a facility or

0:03:34.240 --> 0:03:38.880
<v Speaker 1>somewhere else, but um, he the chiefs decided to arranged

0:03:38.920 --> 0:03:40.720
<v Speaker 1>to have him tested for COVID and it came back

0:03:40.760 --> 0:03:44.200
<v Speaker 1>positive and at that point he'd only cut two guys hair,

0:03:44.920 --> 0:03:47.880
<v Speaker 1>so they had to put those guys into quarantine. Those

0:03:47.880 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 1>guys in testing for five straight days. Assuming they're negative,

0:03:50.200 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>they should be able to play. But he was supposed

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:54.560
<v Speaker 1>to to cut the hair of like twenty people, including

0:03:54.560 --> 0:03:57.640
<v Speaker 1>Patrick Mahomes. So depending upon the time of when he

0:03:57.680 --> 0:03:59.960
<v Speaker 1>did that, you know, and if any of them are

0:04:00.000 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>atually contracted the virus, I could have been a pretty

0:04:01.840 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>crazy thing that happened right before the Super Bowl, but

0:04:04.040 --> 0:04:06.880
<v Speaker 1>it seems like they have it in check. Yeah, absolutely, Um,

0:04:06.880 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>all right, so this is an interesting question. Chris is

0:04:08.520 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>talking about how he wanted to know how are we

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>going to cover Hill while also containing Kelsey and Mahomes.

0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:15.240
<v Speaker 1>And you know, we've talked about each of these guys individually,

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:17.280
<v Speaker 1>but I do think it is important to say that

0:04:17.680 --> 0:04:19.760
<v Speaker 1>with all three of them together, that they really do

0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:21.280
<v Speaker 1>affect your game point because there's one thing of how

0:04:21.279 --> 0:04:24.040
<v Speaker 1>you might cover Hill if Kelsey didn't exist or vice versa,

0:04:24.080 --> 0:04:26.000
<v Speaker 1>and if Mahomes wasn't the kind of quarterback he was.

0:04:26.040 --> 0:04:27.680
<v Speaker 1>So let's kind of talk about all three of those

0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.120
<v Speaker 1>guys together and the way they influence how you can

0:04:30.240 --> 0:04:32.839
<v Speaker 1>try to attack each It's kind of like when you

0:04:32.960 --> 0:04:35.520
<v Speaker 1>play one with one of these NBA teams with with

0:04:35.600 --> 0:04:37.479
<v Speaker 1>the Big Three, which is all in vogue now. You know,

0:04:37.600 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>you get three superstars and some of them just sort

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:41.479
<v Speaker 1>of have a gravity of their own, you know, like

0:04:41.520 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>if you have Lebron James on your team, obviously he's

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.920
<v Speaker 1>pulling defenders towards him and that, you know, makes it easier.

0:04:47.920 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>And all three of those guys do that for each other.

0:04:49.839 --> 0:04:53.679
<v Speaker 1>And that's the case here with the Chiefs, because Travis

0:04:53.720 --> 0:04:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Kelsey has a incredible knack for getting open, for finding

0:04:57.920 --> 0:04:59.360
<v Speaker 1>spots in his zone if it's his own, or he

0:04:59.440 --> 0:05:02.960
<v Speaker 1>runs some amazing routes. Uh you know, he'll do like

0:05:03.000 --> 0:05:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a out and then a pivot and up and um.

0:05:05.800 --> 0:05:07.760
<v Speaker 1>You know, they're just really hard to cover man demand,

0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:09.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's really good at getting open. Then you have

0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill, who you have to make a choice on

0:05:12.560 --> 0:05:14.479
<v Speaker 1>how tightly you want to cover him and if you

0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:16.280
<v Speaker 1>want to press him, and he beats the press and

0:05:16.240 --> 0:05:18.040
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna go. There isn't quarterback in the league that's

0:05:18.040 --> 0:05:19.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna catch up to him if you've give him too

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.320
<v Speaker 1>much space. However, because you're worried about getting run by.

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.240
<v Speaker 1>Then they do a lot of underneath stuff where he

0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.440
<v Speaker 1>gets yards after the catch. Then you have Patrick Mahomes

0:05:27.760 --> 0:05:30.239
<v Speaker 1>who led the league with nine and fifty one passing

0:05:30.320 --> 0:05:33.960
<v Speaker 1>yards while running uh this season, and that's defined as

0:05:34.200 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>as moving at least eight miles per hour, which is

0:05:36.920 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 1>easily the most in the league. As you would imagine, Um,

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:43.480
<v Speaker 1>he also is just absolutely lethal against the blitz, like

0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:47.480
<v Speaker 1>a thirty passer rating. So again you see Mahomes goes

0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.400
<v Speaker 1>on the run that has a gravity of its own,

0:05:49.440 --> 0:05:51.840
<v Speaker 1>and that creates more open spaces and obviously creates more

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.240
<v Speaker 1>time for and and usually when he's on the run,

0:05:54.279 --> 0:05:56.320
<v Speaker 1>his favorite target is Travis Kelsey, but you also have

0:05:56.320 --> 0:05:59.880
<v Speaker 1>Tyreek Hill out there running around. So how you stop it? Well,

0:06:00.040 --> 0:06:02.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's been a conundrigan for just about every

0:06:02.000 --> 0:06:04.280
<v Speaker 1>defense in the last two years, and it's been hard

0:06:04.279 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>to do. I think it's like sometimes when we used

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:10.039
<v Speaker 1>to play the Saints and Drew Brees and all his weapons.

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:11.839
<v Speaker 1>You would go into that saying, well, we're not going

0:06:11.880 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>to stop him. He might get two in orn eighty yards. Um,

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:17.440
<v Speaker 1>this guy might get this many, Michael Thomas might get

0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:19.000
<v Speaker 1>this money. But we have to contain them as much

0:06:19.040 --> 0:06:21.160
<v Speaker 1>as we can and then keep up. And I think

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.200
<v Speaker 1>that's what you have to hope for here, Um, that

0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>you can contain them to the best of your ability,

0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:28.200
<v Speaker 1>hopefully with some pressure on the homes, and then just

0:06:28.480 --> 0:06:31.720
<v Speaker 1>outscore them right well. And that actually leads perfectly to

0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.359
<v Speaker 1>the next question Richard had asked, do you think nerves

0:06:34.600 --> 0:06:37.600
<v Speaker 1>might limit how much of a shootout we're expecting so

0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of overall, maybe whether it's from nerves or anything

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.160
<v Speaker 1>else with the game, I think a lot of people

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:44.279
<v Speaker 1>are expecting is to be a shootout. Is there any

0:06:44.279 --> 0:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>situation where you don't see it panting out that way? No,

0:06:47.560 --> 0:06:49.680
<v Speaker 1>I wouldn't think it would be nerves if if, if

0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't end up being a shootout. And I guess

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:54.400
<v Speaker 1>you could compare this to UM Super Bowl a couple

0:06:54.400 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 1>of years ago, the last one that Tom Brady was in,

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.240
<v Speaker 1>when the Patriots beat the Rams, and those are two

0:06:59.279 --> 0:07:01.760
<v Speaker 1>teams that had pretty good offenses, and the game ended

0:07:01.800 --> 0:07:04.160
<v Speaker 1>up being ten three and it wasn't a touchdown until

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:07.600
<v Speaker 1>the fourth quarter. UM, nobody expected that, And I guess

0:07:07.600 --> 0:07:10.360
<v Speaker 1>in that case it was just two defenses that were

0:07:10.440 --> 0:07:12.560
<v Speaker 1>very well coached. You know we Todd Bowles has had

0:07:12.560 --> 0:07:14.440
<v Speaker 1>two weeks to work on this problem we're talking about

0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:17.840
<v Speaker 1>and uh and Steve Spagnolo has had two weeks to

0:07:17.880 --> 0:07:20.679
<v Speaker 1>work on Tom Brady and the Buccaneers. So you could

0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:23.960
<v Speaker 1>possibly have a coordinator that comes in with just an

0:07:24.000 --> 0:07:25.960
<v Speaker 1>incredible plan. That would be one way and the other

0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:28.760
<v Speaker 1>way I guess would be turnovers. But again, sometimes turnovers

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:32.040
<v Speaker 1>lead to points, so that doesn't necessarily kill the uh

0:07:32.320 --> 0:07:35.120
<v Speaker 1>the shootout, but um, if you saw like the last

0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:37.520
<v Speaker 1>time we played the Chiefs, it was right. I don't

0:07:37.520 --> 0:07:39.840
<v Speaker 1>know if anybody would call that a shootout, particularly with

0:07:39.880 --> 0:07:42.760
<v Speaker 1>two teams that averaged more than that during the regular season.

0:07:42.840 --> 0:07:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But the Buccaneers struggled early on third downs and in

0:07:45.800 --> 0:07:48.000
<v Speaker 1>the second half the offense was great, but there were

0:07:48.000 --> 0:07:51.000
<v Speaker 1>two interceptions and that took away two scoring opportunities. So

0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:53.800
<v Speaker 1>there's ways that it can happen. But my money would

0:07:53.800 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>still be on a game that you need to score

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:58.160
<v Speaker 1>thirty points to win. Okay, and Mike asked, do you

0:07:58.160 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>think we have the kicker edge? Uh? He in terms

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:03.920
<v Speaker 1>of just our field goal kicker versus their's, and how

0:08:03.920 --> 0:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>that could potentially affect some of the game decisions. I

0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:09.080
<v Speaker 1>know that our kicker has been very good thirty six

0:08:09.120 --> 0:08:12.120
<v Speaker 1>and thirty nine including the playoffs. And also, you know

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.480
<v Speaker 1>he maybe there's a home field advantage there. He's been

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.960
<v Speaker 1>kicking there all all year and Harrison Butker has had

0:08:16.960 --> 0:08:19.640
<v Speaker 1>just one game there. Maybe he understands the wins a

0:08:19.680 --> 0:08:22.040
<v Speaker 1>little bit better. Um, but I think Harrison Bucker is

0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:23.800
<v Speaker 1>a pretty good kicker. I'm not sure i'd say there's

0:08:23.840 --> 0:08:27.000
<v Speaker 1>an advantage for either team there. Yeah, that's an interesting point. Okay, Well,

0:08:27.000 --> 0:08:28.560
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for us on this edition of

0:08:28.600 --> 0:08:31.520
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers Insider Live presented by Miller Lte thinks as always

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:34.040

<v Speaker 1>We'll see then,
