WEBVTT - Bucs Insider Live, Oct. 30 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:02.759 Welcome to Buccaneers Insiderer Live presented by Miller like Casey 0:00:02.759 --> 0:00:05.360 Phillips and Scott Smith here and as always, we love 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:08.000 taking all of your thoughts, comments, questions and using those 0:00:08.000 --> 0:00:09.280 on the show, So make sure you go over to 0:00:09.320 --> 0:00:11.520 the Facebook page if you're not already watching on there 0:00:11.840 --> 0:00:13.800 and comment under our live video and we'll try to 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:15.480 get to as many of those questions as we can 0:00:15.520 --> 0:00:17.640 so while we give people a chance to start sending 0:00:17.640 --> 0:00:19.880 those in big news of the week the change at 0:00:19.960 --> 0:00:23.360 quarterback or the announcement at quarterback for Carolina, So just 0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:24.880 your initial thoughts on what that's going to mean for 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.760 this team going into a very important divisional game. It 0:00:27.760 --> 0:00:29.960 seems like we have one of these big announcements every 0:00:30.160 --> 0:00:32.520 couple of weeks, doesn't it. We have the defensives lively 0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:35.640 for us, you know. Yeah, So, as everybody obviously already knows, 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:39.280 Um dark Cutter didn't decide to hold onto the mystery 0:00:39.320 --> 0:00:41.360 throughout the week and told everybody on Monday that he 0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.040 has decided that Ryan Fitzpatrick will go back to starting. 0:00:44.479 --> 0:00:49.000 This comes after Jamis Winston's for interception performance in UH 0:00:49.080 --> 0:00:51.320 Cincinnati that got him pulled late in the third quarter, 0:00:51.360 --> 0:00:53.960 and when Ryan Fitzpatrick came in, he did well. Now, 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:55.800 if you look at the numbers of these two guys, 0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:58.280 and you look at our overall offensive numbers, you can 0:00:58.360 --> 0:01:01.520 see that both James Winston and Ryan Fitzpatrick are fully 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:03.520 capable of moving this team up and down the field, 0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:07.440 and if throwing touchdown passes. The difference rather obviously is turnovers. 0:01:07.440 --> 0:01:09.360 And Jamis has ten interceptions in about three and a 0:01:09.400 --> 0:01:12.240 half games, and you just can't win that way. Does 0:01:12.280 --> 0:01:17.160 that mean Jameis Winston won't ever rebound from this problem. No, 0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:19.920 but right now, when it happens week after week, it's 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:22.080 it's kind of a pretty obvious decision, to be honest 0:01:22.120 --> 0:01:23.880 with you. You've got two guys that are fully capable 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.080 of moving this offense and one of them is stuck 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.640 in some some turnover problems, and you just you can't 0:01:29.720 --> 0:01:32.160 keep going on that way right now? At least that's 0:01:32.200 --> 0:01:35.400 a great point. Um. J already wanted to talk a 0:01:35.440 --> 0:01:37.000 little bit about the defense as well, so I know 0:01:37.000 --> 0:01:38.560 we'll come back to I'm sure there's gonna be plenty 0:01:38.560 --> 0:01:41.120 of questions about the quarterback situation, so I'll go ahead 0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.440 and get Jay's question in here. He says, what needs 0:01:43.480 --> 0:01:46.000 to happen for the defense to improve, Well, it already has. 0:01:46.080 --> 0:01:49.680 It already has, And um, you saw that obviously in 0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:51.560 the in the Cleveland game and in second half at 0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.400 Cincinnati it was actually really really good, you know, except 0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.840 for that final drive. And you know, great players like A. J. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.040 Green are going to occasionally make great plays. But other 0:01:59.080 --> 0:02:02.640 than that, they were practically they didn't procatically give up 0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:04.960 nothing the entire second half. Now you can't just wash 0:02:05.000 --> 0:02:07.640 away the first half. That happened and they had three 0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:10.639 seven yards in that half. But um, what's going to 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:12.840 need to happen for the Bucks more consistently put up 0:02:13.280 --> 0:02:16.919 a good defensive results, and it's gonna right back to 0:02:16.960 --> 0:02:19.760 we're just talking about. Is turnomers just not getting any 0:02:19.840 --> 0:02:23.040 at all. I mean we are negative thirteen I believe 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:27.480 in turnovers and we have one in the last four games. Uh, 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.440 and that was on special teams. The defense has not 0:02:30.520 --> 0:02:32.800 created a turnover since the first quarter of Week three, 0:02:32.919 --> 0:02:38.320 which is almost Yeah, I'm not even necessarily commenting on 0:02:38.360 --> 0:02:40.640 how good or bad they are at that. It's just amazing. 0:02:41.000 --> 0:02:43.720 The luck just isn't even there. That so much about 0:02:43.720 --> 0:02:47.040 turnovers can be flukey of a tipped pass here there, 0:02:47.080 --> 0:02:48.880 and are there guys in the area where it gets 0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.480 tipto that it's just so frustrating. I had Carlton Davis 0:02:51.480 --> 0:02:52.840 on the radio show last night and I asked him 0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:55.959 about this idea of are they as fluky as as 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:57.600 we kind of think they are? You know, how much 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:01.040 can you guys be striving to improve on turnovers? And 0:03:01.040 --> 0:03:03.520 he said, yeah, interceptions are not something that you can 0:03:03.520 --> 0:03:05.560 typically be like, Okay, we're going to do this in 0:03:05.560 --> 0:03:08.520 this to get more interceptions, right, But he said that 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.160 they could do a better job of trying to make 0:03:10.160 --> 0:03:12.600 plays on the ball to force fumbles. Yeah, And so 0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:14.519 he was saying that's something that he thinks that they've 0:03:14.520 --> 0:03:15.799 been working a lot on and that is going to 0:03:15.880 --> 0:03:17.959 be an even bigger point of inferences because you can't 0:03:17.960 --> 0:03:20.080 control the interceptions as much that they're going to be 0:03:20.080 --> 0:03:21.760 really trying very hard to make plays on the ball. 0:03:22.120 --> 0:03:25.000 Five of our six turnovers are fumble recoveries. And one 0:03:25.000 --> 0:03:27.320 guy who's really really good at that is Lavonte David. 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:30.440 And he told me once that there is some I 0:03:30.480 --> 0:03:32.480 don't know, science or technique to it. One of the 0:03:32.520 --> 0:03:34.440 things in for instance, that he always tries to do, 0:03:34.600 --> 0:03:36.840 and I actually saw him try it in this last game. 0:03:36.840 --> 0:03:38.480 He just didn't quite get his hand in there in time. 0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:41.160 Is a running back is going to when he's about 0:03:41.280 --> 0:03:42.680 hit the ground, he's a foot or two off the ground, 0:03:42.720 --> 0:03:44.480 he instinctively he's going to take one hand off the 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:46.560 ball and put his hand on the ground, and that's 0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:48.640 when Lavonte tries to punch it out at that moment. 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:50.400 He obviously has done that many times in his career, 0:03:50.400 --> 0:03:52.360 and he's very good at that. And I'm sure he 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:54.200 and the coaches have shared that with Carlton and all 0:03:54.240 --> 0:03:56.640 the young players. So it's good that they'll be trying that. 0:03:57.040 --> 0:03:59.960 But even then, you can't count on it right now. 0:04:00.160 --> 0:04:02.840 And plus, interceptions tend to I mean, if you get 0:04:02.880 --> 0:04:05.160 an interception, there's a much better chance you're gonna have 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.040 a chance to return it. I mean sometimes you see 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:09.800 fumble's return, but lots of times it's just a big 0:04:09.800 --> 0:04:11.240 scrum and you want to make sure you fall on 0:04:11.240 --> 0:04:13.720 it right. You catch a turn, you catch an interception 0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:16.080 on the run like the Beagles did to us on 0:04:16.120 --> 0:04:19.240 their last one, and you might score. So you I agree, 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.480 And obviously he would know better than I there's no Hey, 0:04:21.520 --> 0:04:23.000 if we do A and we do B, we're gonna 0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.880 start getting more interceptions. But the coverage can be tighter, 0:04:26.000 --> 0:04:28.880 the pass rush can be more effective. It hasn't been bad, 0:04:28.920 --> 0:04:31.960 but it can be more effective and cause some um 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:35.760 errant passes, some hurried passes, or some bad decisions, and 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:39.640 all of that can create can increase your opportunities maybe 0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.120 for interceptions, you know what I'm saying. And then also 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:44.560 you're absolutely right about the tip pass this thing. I mean, 0:04:44.600 --> 0:04:47.160 there was one in Cincinnati where it looked like three 0:04:47.200 --> 0:04:48.680 of our guys might have a shot at it, and it 0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:50.520 it just kind of falls right in between all of 0:04:50.520 --> 0:04:52.520 them and they're all diving for it. But we throw 0:04:52.560 --> 0:04:54.600 up an interception. We throw a pass off a guy's 0:04:54.600 --> 0:04:56.279 helmet and the end zone and it goes straight up 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.960 in the air like a infield pop up with four 0:04:59.000 --> 0:05:01.720 defenders around. So it's that part is definitely flukey, and 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:04.960 it would be nice to see luck change in our 0:05:05.000 --> 0:05:07.200 direction a little bit. That would be very handy. Chris 0:05:07.279 --> 0:05:08.760 wants to know if you think there are any chances 0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:11.919 of us trading Jamis. I feel like we had to that. 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.760 I've seen so many different versions of a trade questions 0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.200 in general, which we always like to give the caveat 0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:23.719 that we can't really speculate about other teams individual players 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:25.160 because we do work for the team. So I was 0:05:25.200 --> 0:05:27.960 like giving that caveat. But he asked about us trading Jamis, 0:05:27.960 --> 0:05:30.000 and I wanted to hear your thoughts. No, because the 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.640 trade deadline is today at four o'clock and you just 0:05:32.880 --> 0:05:35.640 decided to make this move. And you didn't say, or 0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.920 Coach Cutter didn't say, didn't specifically say this is permanent. 0:05:39.120 --> 0:05:41.680 And by permanent, I mean the rest of this season, um, 0:05:41.720 --> 0:05:43.680 he said. And he didn't, you know, And and of 0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:45.560 course this doesn't necessarily mean it has to be with 0:05:45.600 --> 0:05:48.080 the Buccaneers, but he does believe Jamis will get another 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.719 chance and he can't succeed in the NFL. And you 0:05:50.760 --> 0:05:52.920 also might be thinking long term, I mean, how long 0:05:52.960 --> 0:05:55.080 are you going to have Ryan Fitzpatrick? How long does 0:05:55.120 --> 0:05:56.880 he want to keep playing? That sort of thing. So 0:05:57.279 --> 0:06:00.279 I would find it hard to believe that be between 0:06:00.279 --> 0:06:03.480 the decision. I mean, you still started him on Sunday, 0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:05.560 that was two days ago. You started Jameis Winston. That 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:07.520 was the guy you wanted in there now because of 0:06:07.520 --> 0:06:10.520 what happened as a Monday, you made the decision to 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:13.080 switch at least for this week and probably more than that. 0:06:13.960 --> 0:06:16.479 But is that enough time for you've decided completely on 0:06:16.480 --> 0:06:18.680 how you feel about his future with the team. It 0:06:18.720 --> 0:06:20.640 doesn't seem like it to me, so I would be 0:06:20.720 --> 0:06:24.599 very surprised, very surprised. Um, we had a question about 0:06:24.600 --> 0:06:27.000 the rumors that came out before the game about DeShawn 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:31.360 Jackson wanting a trade, and now we have some questions 0:06:31.400 --> 0:06:36.960 asking if fits starting would seemingly change that. And now, granted, 0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.680 of course, we don't know the rumors of that, of 0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:41.720 the truth to the idea of him wanting to trade, 0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:43.000 So we want to preface it with that that we 0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.599 do not have information on that. But I think the 0:06:45.720 --> 0:06:49.760 larger ideas are there certain guys that now we can 0:06:49.800 --> 0:06:52.200 expect to see more from or less from with the 0:06:52.240 --> 0:06:54.640 quarterback switch of who are the guys that really we 0:06:54.640 --> 0:06:56.440 could see a big game from in Carolina as that 0:06:56.480 --> 0:06:58.800 maybe because of the different guys that they seem to 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:00.640 have chemistry with. You know, I'm sure a lot of 0:07:00.640 --> 0:07:03.080 the people, especially playing fantasy out there, would love some 0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.160 some thoughts on who we can expect to have some 0:07:05.160 --> 0:07:08.520 some big and smaller games. Yeah, to start with the 0:07:08.600 --> 0:07:11.920 DeShawn Jackson trade rumors, which I don't believe he confirmed, 0:07:12.240 --> 0:07:15.440 and on the day of the game, both Dirk and 0:07:15.760 --> 0:07:17.680 Jason light said they had no knowledge of that. So, 0:07:18.600 --> 0:07:22.800 but the point is moot because Jason had subsequently said 0:07:23.080 --> 0:07:24.960 that Deshaun is gonna be here for the rest of 0:07:24.960 --> 0:07:27.200 the year, right, So it's really a mood point. If 0:07:27.200 --> 0:07:28.800 we ever find out if he really did ask for 0:07:28.800 --> 0:07:31.480 that or not, it's it doesn't matter because it's not 0:07:31.520 --> 0:07:36.320 gonna happen, at least to take um Jason's one statement 0:07:36.520 --> 0:07:39.520 at face value on that. Uh, yeah, you know, obviously 0:07:39.640 --> 0:07:44.920 DeShawn has had more success when Fitzpatrick's been in there 0:07:44.960 --> 0:07:47.680 on the deep ball, although as you saw, James did 0:07:47.720 --> 0:07:50.440 hit him on that sixty yarder. I mean, if I 0:07:50.480 --> 0:07:52.080 were DeShawn, I'd be I would have been feeling good 0:07:52.080 --> 0:07:53.800 about that. I'm like, maybe we got this figured out. 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:56.440 But I bet you he's happy. I know he. I 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.240 think he came out and said towards the end of 0:07:59.280 --> 0:08:01.920 that first run for Fits that Fits should remain the starter. 0:08:02.440 --> 0:08:05.960 So I imagine that he's happy. And and whether or 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.440 not that one sixty yarder from Jamis was a sign 0:08:08.480 --> 0:08:10.720 that was going to start working out between them. We 0:08:10.760 --> 0:08:13.720 already know that it's working out between Fits and Sean, 0:08:13.840 --> 0:08:16.000 so I you know, we're putting ourselves in his shoes here. 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.360 I don't want to speak for him, but theoretically it 0:08:18.400 --> 0:08:21.480 would make sense that he would feel good about this move. Uh. 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:23.720 You know the guy on the flip side that seems 0:08:23.720 --> 0:08:26.080 to get more when Jamis is in there than than 0:08:26.760 --> 0:08:29.560 Ryan is camp. Right, that's just kind of the way 0:08:29.560 --> 0:08:31.120 it's gone. I don't know. I don't in any way 0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:34.120 believe that Ryan Fitzpatrick is trying not to share the 0:08:34.120 --> 0:08:38.000 Harvard glory with his former or with his fellow Harvard guy. Uh, 0:08:38.280 --> 0:08:40.800 but it just has worked out that way otherwise. You know, 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:44.360 I think everybody, Mike Evans and O J and Chris Gotwan, 0:08:44.400 --> 0:08:47.000 they've all been producing, and Adam Humphreys, no matter who's 0:08:47.000 --> 0:08:49.679 in there. Right. Yeah, that's a great point. Um, we 0:08:49.960 --> 0:08:51.679 do you think Ryan Fitzpatrick would be a good pick 0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.560 up in fantasy right now? It's very true. Uh. Matt 0:08:54.600 --> 0:08:56.400 asked this question. I've seen several other people ask it 0:08:56.440 --> 0:08:59.000 just in general. We talked about specific somebody asked about 0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.200 Jami's potentially being it a bit. Matt just said, do 0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:03.400 you expect us to make any moves today? Have seen 0:09:03.440 --> 0:09:06.680 several people asking the generic do we make moves today? 0:09:07.880 --> 0:09:10.960 I'm sure that anybody who has watched this before, we'll 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:12.920 probably get tired of me saying the same thing. To 0:09:13.040 --> 0:09:16.360 start with, when it comes to trades, they're not that common. 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:19.080 They do happen, but they're not. If you divide them 0:09:19.080 --> 0:09:21.600 by thirty two teams, how many teams actually make moves, 0:09:21.760 --> 0:09:24.479 and then how many of those moves are actually impactful? 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:27.319 You know, I can't think of I don't think I 0:09:27.360 --> 0:09:30.600 can think of one that we've made an attempt to 0:09:30.600 --> 0:09:33.200 go for it training for somebody that really made a difference. 0:09:33.200 --> 0:09:34.679 I mean, one year we were having we were a 0:09:34.760 --> 0:09:37.400 playoff contender, and we're having all kinds of problems with 0:09:37.520 --> 0:09:39.920 running back injuries, and we've got Michael Bennett, not to 0:09:39.960 --> 0:09:42.880 Michael Bennett defenseman, but a running back, and it didn't 0:09:42.880 --> 0:09:46.200 really end up making much difference. So we have I 0:09:46.240 --> 0:09:48.360 do think one thing you can do impactfully at the 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.480 trade deadlines if you're a seller and you can get 0:09:50.559 --> 0:09:52.440 something for a guy that maybe was going to leave 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.080 at the end of free agency, anyway, So there are 0:09:54.120 --> 0:09:57.000 opportunities out there, particularly because there have been two teams 0:09:57.000 --> 0:09:59.839 that have clearly demonstrated, the Giants and the Raiders, that 0:10:00.080 --> 0:10:01.840 they are willing to trade guys and that they're in 0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:04.520 a rebooting mode. Whether they want to say it or not, 0:10:04.559 --> 0:10:08.760 they're clearly doing so, especially the Raiders. So, like you 0:10:08.800 --> 0:10:11.959 said before, because we're team employees and we're talking about 0:10:12.080 --> 0:10:15.120 speculating about guys coming here that are under COUNTRCYT elsewhere, 0:10:15.240 --> 0:10:18.760 is technically tampering. I'm not gonna say specific names, but yeah, 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.720 I mean I usually say and I don't think it's possible, 0:10:21.720 --> 0:10:23.520 but I think it's possible. I still think the chances 0:10:23.559 --> 0:10:26.320 are pretty low, but I don't think it's possible. You could, um, 0:10:26.679 --> 0:10:29.720 you could maybe make a move at corner or safety 0:10:30.080 --> 0:10:32.880 or linebacker, although um, we need to wait and see 0:10:32.880 --> 0:10:34.640 what happens with Kendall Beck with if he returns to 0:10:34.640 --> 0:10:37.240 practice and is possibly coming back to the roster. I'm 0:10:37.280 --> 0:10:40.280 sure you'd prefer to get a guy, a middle linebacker type, 0:10:40.280 --> 0:10:43.319 guy who already knows the system over bringing something different, 0:10:43.360 --> 0:10:45.120 so we could end up getting help from within there. 0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:47.240 I want to hear your answer on this. I think 0:10:47.280 --> 0:10:48.880 this is interesting. I've heard a few people debating it. 0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:51.880 Tim asked, what about a quarterback by committee approach that 0:10:51.920 --> 0:10:54.920 doesn't work in anyway? And why? In general? Why is that? 0:10:54.960 --> 0:10:57.400 I think it's an interesting You've heard the phrase before 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:01.360 if you if you have three quarter you have no quarterbacks, right. 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:03.720 I just think that's interesting. Well, you know you do 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.120 quarter I could see, you know, in college. I think 0:11:06.160 --> 0:11:08.160 some of it has to do with a guy. Maybe 0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.280 I haven't seeniority, but the young guy is better and 0:11:11.320 --> 0:11:13.199 they're trying to figure out when to make that transition. 0:11:15.000 --> 0:11:17.320 Or you have two different styles and you know you 0:11:17.360 --> 0:11:20.120 could have I suppose like if you were Baltimore, maybe 0:11:20.280 --> 0:11:22.480 use Lamar Jackson when you wanted to use some packages 0:11:22.520 --> 0:11:25.400 that involved more running than Joe Flacco. But both of 0:11:25.400 --> 0:11:28.199 our guys tend to move around better than you expect. 0:11:28.600 --> 0:11:30.240 Jami's people don't think he's a good runner, but the 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:32.240 numbers kind of show that he is pretty decent. And 0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.839 Ryan Fitzpatrick is what thirty five or something, so you think, oh, 0:11:34.880 --> 0:11:37.560 he's gonna slow down, but he's running the ball well too. 0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:40.040 They both seem to be able to make all the 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:42.360 throws still, so I'm not sure stylistically, what would be 0:11:42.360 --> 0:11:44.839 the difference to make you want to platoon why? Why 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.719 would you want to do that? And you want you 0:11:46.800 --> 0:11:49.160 guys to get in the flow of a game, right, Yeah, 0:11:49.200 --> 0:11:51.000 that's that's a good point. Nick asked what is the 0:11:51.000 --> 0:11:53.760 severity of Vita's injury? That was sort of an interesting 0:11:53.760 --> 0:11:55.120 thing that came out of the press contract And we 0:11:55.160 --> 0:11:57.800 don't know the exact severity and we'll find out a 0:11:57.800 --> 0:11:59.800 Wednesday when we see what his practice status is, but 0:12:00.280 --> 0:12:03.199 we know it's good news. Um. It was funny the 0:12:03.200 --> 0:12:05.839 way Dirt Putters, Dirk Cutter put it in his press conference. 0:12:05.840 --> 0:12:07.280 You said, I think it's the first time in history 0:12:07.640 --> 0:12:09.960 that an m R R result has come back with 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:14.440 positive news. You know, so, uh, that's not totally true obviously, 0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.600 but you do when doctors are so good at an 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:22.640 initial um evaluation of what the injury could be. I mean, 0:12:22.840 --> 0:12:24.959 you know they can tell just do a little wiggle 0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:26.400 with a knee and go, I think you're a sal 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:28.480 Strnet and then you go get the m R and 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:30.600 your a sal Storn. This time, I think there was 0:12:30.640 --> 0:12:33.040 some fear that he had a significant injury, maybe an 0:12:33.040 --> 0:12:34.840 a c L and the m r A show that's 0:12:34.880 --> 0:12:36.920 not the case, and Dirk said he was moving around 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.760 well on Monday, so all that is good news and 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.680 we'll find out just how good on Wednesday. But everybody 0:12:42.679 --> 0:12:45.040 seemed pretty up a upbeat about it, right, which is 0:12:45.400 --> 0:12:47.760 a great point. Um, Matthew wanted to know, do you 0:12:47.800 --> 0:12:49.959 think we'll get to see Ryan Griffin get some action 0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.240 this season at all? I don't think so. Um, you know, 0:12:53.360 --> 0:12:55.440 only if the season went down the drain, you know, 0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.760 which we obviously don't want to happen. You know, Dirk 0:12:57.800 --> 0:13:01.160 has consistently said the only thing that Ryan's his experience, 0:13:01.240 --> 0:13:03.280 But that's kind of a catch twoint two, because how 0:13:03.320 --> 0:13:05.440 do you get that guy experience when he doesn't have 0:13:05.480 --> 0:13:06.960 it already and you don't want to go to the 0:13:07.040 --> 0:13:10.880 experienced guy. But um, you know this team believe me 0:13:10.960 --> 0:13:14.200 that nobody upstairs or in the coaches after the locker 0:13:14.280 --> 0:13:16.200 room has given up on this seasons. It's three and 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.439 four with more than half the season to go and 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.200 four division games to go, right, so there's no reason 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.160 to give up on this season. And when Ryan Fitzpatrick 0:13:24.200 --> 0:13:26.120 has shown that he can get the job done, what 0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.120 would actually be the point of going to ryand Griffin 0:13:28.280 --> 0:13:31.120 right now, maybe if we lose six games in Rome 0:13:31.280 --> 0:13:35.280 or three and ten, ask again, right yeah? Um Abel 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:37.760 asked if are we going to see Joe Dirt play, 0:13:37.960 --> 0:13:40.480 meaning Riley Bulla. Do you feel like he's somebody we 0:13:40.559 --> 0:13:42.840 brought back after those linebacker injuries. Do you think he's 0:13:42.840 --> 0:13:45.480 gonna end up playing part here? It's a decent question 0:13:45.559 --> 0:13:49.880 because you you you started your response to losing Kwon 0:13:50.000 --> 0:13:52.640 by moving in Darius to the middle and DeVante Bond 0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:54.480 to the strong side. And I don't think that Devonte 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:55.959 Bond played a whole lot in that game, and I 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:57.480 have to look at the snap counts, but we were 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.360 in Nickel for a very large part of that game. 0:14:00.160 --> 0:14:02.240 So I'm not sure there's been enough evaluation yet on 0:14:02.240 --> 0:14:05.360 those two guys decide that is or is not the answer. 0:14:05.559 --> 0:14:09.440 So um, you could conceivably see them try DeVante Bond 0:14:09.520 --> 0:14:11.280 for a couple of games, and if they don't like 0:14:11.320 --> 0:14:14.319 how it's going, try Riley Buller there again, though, that 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:16.680 strong side linebacker role isn't a really huge role in 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.480 the defense, so at the moment, I don't think so, 0:14:19.520 --> 0:14:22.280 but it's certainly within the Roman possibility. Now, as I mentioned, 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.920 if Kendall Beckwood can come back, that kind of pushes 0:14:25.080 --> 0:14:27.640 everybody down the depth chart a little bit. Okay. Uh. 0:14:27.680 --> 0:14:29.920 We had another question asking if we noticed any difference 0:14:29.920 --> 0:14:32.560 in the defense, even if it's small, with Duffner as 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:35.920 defensive coordinator. Well, he said that they have simplified it 0:14:35.920 --> 0:14:38.760 and they actually started that the week before Duffner took 0:14:38.760 --> 0:14:41.760 over for Mike Smith. But that appears to be helping. 0:14:41.800 --> 0:14:45.960 Some want the young cornerbacks with the simplified coverage options. Um, 0:14:46.040 --> 0:14:49.720 so there's that. I think in general, the coverage has 0:14:49.760 --> 0:14:54.920 been better. Otherwise, it's just the stuff you can't quantify. 0:14:55.120 --> 0:14:57.440 Like the guys are saying they're they're playing hard every play, 0:14:57.520 --> 0:15:00.240 that kind of thing. So does it look like it 0:15:00.280 --> 0:15:01.800 to you on TV? Does it look like it's me 0:15:01.920 --> 0:15:04.440 a little bit? Maybe, But it's impossible to quantify, right, 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.120 all right, Well, thank you for being with us on 0:15:06.160 --> 0:15:09.240 this edition of Buccaneers in Sidur Live presented by Miller Light. 0:15:09.280 --> 0:15:11.720 We're back here every Tuesday noon taking all of your questions. 0:15:11.760 --> 0:15:13.880 Make sure to tune in every week.
