WEBVTT - Key Takeaways from the 53-Man Roster, Safety Depth | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.800 --> 0:00:08.840
<v Speaker 1>Welcome into Bucks Insider Live, Casey Phillips. Here was senior

0:00:08.840 --> 0:00:11.320
<v Speaker 1>writer and editor Scott Smith, and man, this is our

0:00:11.400 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>final show before there will be a game that counts

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.040
<v Speaker 1>that we will have one more next week we will

0:00:17.079 --> 0:00:20.160
<v Speaker 1>be talking about the upcoming Cowboy game. It's our final

0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:22.480
<v Speaker 1>show where there's not one this weekend, you know, where

0:00:22.520 --> 0:00:25.640
<v Speaker 1>it's like, we still gotta wait a little bit. I'm sorry,

0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I'm trying. I'm just so excited that we're almost to

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.480
<v Speaker 1>that point that I'm like, we're the show away from

0:00:30.480 --> 0:00:33.640
<v Speaker 1>the show where there's going to an ultimate, an ultimate

0:00:33.640 --> 0:00:35.880
<v Speaker 1>show before there's a game. And man, there is plenty

0:00:35.920 --> 0:00:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to talk about, plenty of news because this is the

0:00:37.680 --> 0:00:40.239
<v Speaker 1>week right now. Yeah, we just are posting some right

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.160
<v Speaker 1>now as we speak, because of course, all the roster

0:00:42.240 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 1>cutdowns are happening, roster moves all over the place. Because

0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>we always talked about the fact that when they get

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>down to the final fifty three, it's never the final

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 1>fifty three, and this morning is proof of that. So yes,

0:00:52.360 --> 0:00:55.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, yesterday was the final fifty three that now

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:56.840
<v Speaker 1>there were some other moves to talk about what happened

0:00:56.880 --> 0:01:00.400
<v Speaker 1>this morning in particular, it's Honestly, it's the move everybody expected,

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.880
<v Speaker 1>or the pair of moves when the Buccaneers waived and

0:01:03.920 --> 0:01:06.840
<v Speaker 1>released and put people on listen, made a variety of

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:08.959
<v Speaker 1>twenty seven moves to get from eight to fifty three.

0:01:09.040 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 1>One of those that stood out was that they released

0:01:11.160 --> 0:01:14.640
<v Speaker 1>Logan Ryan. And when you first see the like from

0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:16.280
<v Speaker 1>what we saw in training camp, obviously he's gonna have

0:01:16.319 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>a significant role in defense, So why would you release

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.839
<v Speaker 1>Logan Ryan. Didn't take long to figure out that that's

0:01:21.880 --> 0:01:24.120
<v Speaker 1>just a way to create a roster spot for a

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.880
<v Speaker 1>day so that you can keep Ryan Jensen and not

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:28.920
<v Speaker 1>have to cut a player and send him through waivers

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:31.640
<v Speaker 1>and maybe get claimed by somebody. Since Logan Ryan is

0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:34.160
<v Speaker 1>a vested veteran, he doesn't go through waivers, so you

0:01:34.160 --> 0:01:36.679
<v Speaker 1>can say, hey, Logan, we need a spot, can you

0:01:36.680 --> 0:01:38.000
<v Speaker 1>help us here? And I don't know how it went on,

0:01:38.080 --> 0:01:39.759
<v Speaker 1>maybe they even give him a bonus or something, but

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.440
<v Speaker 1>he knows, and the team knows that the next day

0:01:42.480 --> 0:01:44.319
<v Speaker 1>they'll just resign him back or in two days, as

0:01:44.360 --> 0:01:46.200
<v Speaker 1>it turned out to be, because you want to get

0:01:46.280 --> 0:01:49.600
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Jensen through to the fifty three men roster in

0:01:49.720 --> 0:01:52.320
<v Speaker 1>order to have the option to bring him back from

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>injury reserve. If you if you put a guy like

0:01:54.000 --> 0:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Stinney on injury reserved before the cuts to fifty three,

0:01:57.080 --> 0:01:59.400
<v Speaker 1>he's done for the year. He can't come back if

0:01:59.440 --> 0:02:01.280
<v Speaker 1>you if you cut them, if you bring them both

0:02:01.320 --> 0:02:03.400
<v Speaker 1>through to the fifty three and then put him on

0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.440
<v Speaker 1>i R, then you have the option to designate them

0:02:06.480 --> 0:02:08.440
<v Speaker 1>for return at some point during the season. And obviously

0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:10.960
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers are holding out hope that Ryan Jensen's knee

0:02:10.919 --> 0:02:13.760
<v Speaker 1>injury is not completely season ending, right, So that's the

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:16.119
<v Speaker 1>whole point of all that, Yes, which makes complete sense.

0:02:16.120 --> 0:02:18.079
<v Speaker 1>So now we talked about this morning, let's go back

0:02:18.120 --> 0:02:21.680
<v Speaker 1>to the final fifty three before that of some of

0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:23.320
<v Speaker 1>the moves that were made to get down to that

0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:26.600
<v Speaker 1>initial fifty three, anything that stood out to you in particular,

0:02:26.680 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 1>well overall, the thing that was surprising was the offensive

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 1>and defensive balance. So you have fifty three spots right,

0:02:32.520 --> 0:02:34.840
<v Speaker 1>Three of those go to specialist kicker, punter, lung snapper.

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.480
<v Speaker 1>So you have fifty which the obvious breakdown would be

0:02:37.520 --> 0:02:40.080
<v Speaker 1>twenty five on each side, but the Buccaneers kept twenty

0:02:40.919 --> 0:02:43.760
<v Speaker 1>players and only twenty two on defense because they kept

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>seven receivers, which was probably the most that you could

0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>possibly keep, four tight ends, which is probably the most

0:02:50.440 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>you would ever keep, and four running backs. So I

0:02:52.760 --> 0:02:55.000
<v Speaker 1>thought one of those positions would have to give up

0:02:55.040 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>something for the other one. But instead the Buccaneers went

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>deep at all three of them, and also or at

0:03:00.240 --> 0:03:02.280
<v Speaker 1>least a day, had to keep a tenth offensive lineman

0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:05.240
<v Speaker 1>and Ryan Jensen. Now it's back to three with the

0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>logan Ryan Ryan Jensen swap, but still it's really heavily

0:03:09.120 --> 0:03:12.240
<v Speaker 1>leaning towards offense because there were just so many players

0:03:12.480 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>that they wanted to keep, and despite all of that,

0:03:15.160 --> 0:03:18.080
<v Speaker 1>they still had to cut Tyler Johnson, and it was

0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>it was inevitable that the Bucks were gonna have to

0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.560
<v Speaker 1>cut a receiver that clearly can play in the NFL,

0:03:22.600 --> 0:03:25.079
<v Speaker 1>and he immediately got claimed by the Houston Texans, who

0:03:25.080 --> 0:03:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I believe we're second in the claim Raven because it's

0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:30.880
<v Speaker 1>the same as the draft order right now, and I

0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:33.919
<v Speaker 1>believe it was second. He was coveted, right, I mean,

0:03:34.160 --> 0:03:36.760
<v Speaker 1>there are teams At the time that the Texans claimed him,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:39.600
<v Speaker 1>they only had four receivers on their roster period, so

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:42.400
<v Speaker 1>there are teams out there that have a better, say

0:03:42.600 --> 0:03:45.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know depth and say inside linebacker than we do,

0:03:45.800 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>but we have better depth at right and still do

0:03:48.560 --> 0:03:50.760
<v Speaker 1>at wide receiver than almost every team out there. So

0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.720
<v Speaker 1>we were gonna have to let somebody go that somebody

0:03:52.720 --> 0:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>else is gonna want. But what it came down to

0:03:54.880 --> 0:03:58.680
<v Speaker 1>in them keeping Jalen Darton, Scottie Miller and even Brashad

0:03:58.760 --> 0:04:02.240
<v Speaker 1>Perriman is that all those guys have some special teams

0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:05.200
<v Speaker 1>value and they just didn't feel like Tyler Johnson had any.

0:04:05.240 --> 0:04:08.120
<v Speaker 1>And you have your first four, hoping they're all healthy

0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.760
<v Speaker 1>for the start of the season, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin,

0:04:10.840 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Julio John's, Russell Gauge. Those guys are gonna get the

0:04:13.320 --> 0:04:15.640
<v Speaker 1>most of playing time when they're all healthy. So the

0:04:15.720 --> 0:04:17.839
<v Speaker 1>other guys, if they're gonna have a helmet on on

0:04:17.880 --> 0:04:19.480
<v Speaker 1>game days, are going to have to have some special

0:04:19.520 --> 0:04:22.360
<v Speaker 1>teams value. Just didn't think Tyler Johnson gave them that.

0:04:22.600 --> 0:04:24.320
<v Speaker 1>But they do believe he's a good receiver and we

0:04:24.360 --> 0:04:26.240
<v Speaker 1>all wish him well in Houston. And then a couple

0:04:26.279 --> 0:04:28.360
<v Speaker 1>of those undrafted wide receivers that had gotten a lot

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>of attention during the preseason were brought back on the

0:04:31.160 --> 0:04:33.480
<v Speaker 1>practice squad, so that was exciting to see that they

0:04:33.480 --> 0:04:35.239
<v Speaker 1>will still be a part of the organization in Devin

0:04:35.279 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>Tompkins and Caitlyn guy So a couple of exciting guys. Yeah,

0:04:39.120 --> 0:04:40.599
<v Speaker 1>that was great. Again, when you have that deep of

0:04:40.640 --> 0:04:42.960
<v Speaker 1>a room, you know, you don't know you're gonna have

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:44.520
<v Speaker 1>to cut a lot of people you might like, and

0:04:44.520 --> 0:04:46.320
<v Speaker 1>then you worry about are they gonna get picked up

0:04:46.320 --> 0:04:48.040
<v Speaker 1>are they not? And it's great to see that they

0:04:48.080 --> 0:04:49.840
<v Speaker 1>were able to come back. To the point that there

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:53.520
<v Speaker 1>was conjecture by some in the last preseason game when

0:04:53.680 --> 0:04:56.919
<v Speaker 1>Devin Tompkins and Caitln Geiger hardly played at all, that

0:04:57.000 --> 0:04:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks were like, let's not put them on tape

0:04:59.279 --> 0:05:01.359
<v Speaker 1>anymore than we off to. Let's not let people have

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:03.400
<v Speaker 1>another look at them. I don't know if that's true enough,

0:05:03.480 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>but certainly that's what people conjecture. And think about the

0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>fact that the the practice squad, now when I started

0:05:10.320 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>in the league, it was a five man practice squad

0:05:12.720 --> 0:05:15.760
<v Speaker 1>and now it's sixteen. Incredible, And he used to turn

0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:18.839
<v Speaker 1>over constantly because you'd get players injured, and maybe now

0:05:18.920 --> 0:05:21.240
<v Speaker 1>you need a linebacker and ad a receiver. Now you

0:05:21.279 --> 0:05:23.320
<v Speaker 1>can keep guys the whole year we kept like ten

0:05:23.360 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 1>guys the whole year last year, and because of those

0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.599
<v Speaker 1>elevation rules, those guys are really an extension on the

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.440
<v Speaker 1>active roster. So those sixteen guys on the practice squad,

0:05:31.560 --> 0:05:34.599
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them are actually gonna see regular season

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.720
<v Speaker 1>game playing time, Yeah, which is interesting. Another spot that

0:05:37.760 --> 0:05:40.040
<v Speaker 1>I thought was intriguing in the UH in the cutdowns

0:05:40.040 --> 0:05:43.240
<v Speaker 1>on roster moves this week was the backup inside linebackers

0:05:43.240 --> 0:05:45.520
<v Speaker 1>that of course we all know Lavonte Devon, Yeah, but

0:05:45.560 --> 0:05:47.240
<v Speaker 1>then after that it was sort of interesting that there

0:05:47.279 --> 0:05:50.080
<v Speaker 1>was a trade that there was a maybe unexpected person

0:05:50.120 --> 0:05:51.640
<v Speaker 1>to make the roster. Tell us a little bit about

0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>that position. Yeah. And in fact, Todd Bowles yesterday was

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:56.080
<v Speaker 1>asked what the hardest spots were when they had to

0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:57.960
<v Speaker 1>make the final decisions for the roster, and he said,

0:05:58.000 --> 0:06:01.000
<v Speaker 1>wide receiver obviously, and back up in side linebacker. And

0:06:01.080 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the Buccaneers decided to trade Grant Steward to the Colts

0:06:06.400 --> 0:06:10.120
<v Speaker 1>that we just played. You should have just stayed there, right, um,

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:12.760
<v Speaker 1>And this is sort of the opposite of the receiver situation.

0:06:12.839 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>Grant Steward is very good on special teams, but they

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.320
<v Speaker 1>didn't see him going forward adding much value on defense

0:06:19.720 --> 0:06:23.440
<v Speaker 1>compared to kJ Brett and the undrafted Rickie Old Cuillotas.

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.880
<v Speaker 1>And so it's kind of the backwards that at receiver

0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:30.640
<v Speaker 1>they needed to play special teams. At inside linebacker they're

0:06:30.680 --> 0:06:32.880
<v Speaker 1>going to play special teams. But they also wanted them

0:06:32.920 --> 0:06:36.960
<v Speaker 1>to have some value on defense because that's all that

0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:40.080
<v Speaker 1>we have after Lavante, Devon and Devin White. So if

0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:42.000
<v Speaker 1>you those guys is missing for any period of time,

0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:45.320
<v Speaker 1>kJ Brett and or Old on the field and you

0:06:45.360 --> 0:06:48.360
<v Speaker 1>need them to be give you some value on defense. Right,

0:06:48.360 --> 0:06:51.560
<v Speaker 1>And we got a question from Jermaine He said, who

0:06:51.560 --> 0:06:54.680
<v Speaker 1>would be are starting safety besides Windfield? So figured, now

0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.919
<v Speaker 1>we've talked about some of those different roster moves and

0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:59.159
<v Speaker 1>who all is back there at the safety position? What

0:06:59.240 --> 0:07:00.640
<v Speaker 1>do we feel like that could end up shaking out?

0:07:01.040 --> 0:07:05.239
<v Speaker 1>That's a very germane question. You can't help it, jokes,

0:07:06.120 --> 0:07:09.760
<v Speaker 1>I can't help it. Um, I told you my no,

0:07:09.920 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 1>I won't do it. I was gonna tell another one,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:16.000
<v Speaker 1>but I won't, um unless you have a cap Okay,

0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:20.520
<v Speaker 1>next week, next week? So who are we talking about again? Well, now,

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.760
<v Speaker 1>besides Winfield, who is starting sum the starting safety is

0:07:23.760 --> 0:07:26.440
<v Speaker 1>in the base package? Will be Windfield and Mike Edwards,

0:07:26.600 --> 0:07:28.560
<v Speaker 1>and I think both those guys will be on the

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.720
<v Speaker 1>field for snaps. They're not coming off like and that's

0:07:31.760 --> 0:07:34.160
<v Speaker 1>great news for Mike Edwards. That's where he's been wanting

0:07:34.200 --> 0:07:37.680
<v Speaker 1>to get to UM for the last three years and

0:07:37.800 --> 0:07:41.559
<v Speaker 1>good for him. Obviously, we never take Antwine off the field,

0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:43.440
<v Speaker 1>but we're gonna move them around a lot. And so

0:07:43.880 --> 0:07:45.960
<v Speaker 1>you're in sub package is a lot. In fact, probably

0:07:46.080 --> 0:07:48.560
<v Speaker 1>fifty to six of your snaps are in the nickel

0:07:48.840 --> 0:07:52.320
<v Speaker 1>defense and so that third, that fifth defensive back is

0:07:52.360 --> 0:07:54.320
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the same as the starter. And for what

0:07:54.360 --> 0:07:56.320
<v Speaker 1>we saw in training camp, a lot of times that's

0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna be Logan Ryan We're just talking about and that

0:07:58.840 --> 0:08:02.280
<v Speaker 1>could be Logan Ryan uh in too deep with Mike Edwards.

0:08:02.400 --> 0:08:04.880
<v Speaker 1>That could be Mike or Logan, you know, as a

0:08:04.920 --> 0:08:07.000
<v Speaker 1>single center fielder and like a cover three or something

0:08:07.080 --> 0:08:09.360
<v Speaker 1>like that. UM And when one of those guys, we

0:08:09.400 --> 0:08:11.840
<v Speaker 1>saw a lot of Antoine Winfield in the slot close

0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>to land screment, So I think you can see a

0:08:14.280 --> 0:08:15.840
<v Speaker 1>lot of those guys and Kim and Neal on the

0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.480
<v Speaker 1>field sometimes. So it's probably gonna be a lot of

0:08:18.480 --> 0:08:21.680
<v Speaker 1>mix and match, a lot of different looks, a lot

0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.440
<v Speaker 1>of disguise looks for the offense, and I think they're

0:08:24.440 --> 0:08:26.119
<v Speaker 1>gonna make use of all those guys, but the bass

0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>starters should be Antoine and Michael. It was funny I

0:08:28.400 --> 0:08:30.880
<v Speaker 1>actually uh am seed an event with Antoine last night.

0:08:30.960 --> 0:08:32.960
<v Speaker 1>I was talking to him about Mike Edwards and just

0:08:33.120 --> 0:08:35.719
<v Speaker 1>what a ball hawk he is, and Antoine said, yeah,

0:08:35.720 --> 0:08:37.320
<v Speaker 1>every game, I likeced my shoes up and say make

0:08:37.360 --> 0:08:41.120
<v Speaker 1>me like Mike, like Mike, you know, and uh and

0:08:41.120 --> 0:08:42.679
<v Speaker 1>he was just time, He's like, it's just crazy. He's like,

0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he'll get ten snaps and two interceptions and we're talking

0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.520
<v Speaker 1>about what that would mean for Antoine of how many

0:08:47.559 --> 0:08:51.160
<v Speaker 1>if it was proportioned, fifty interceptions, you know, in a game,

0:08:51.320 --> 0:08:53.480
<v Speaker 1>and it's just incredible. And so it'll be interesting to

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:55.800
<v Speaker 1>see him in more of a starting role getting maybe

0:08:55.800 --> 0:08:57.600
<v Speaker 1>a few more snaps of what that could look like

0:08:57.840 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>for him. Knowing well, and the question is, if Mike

0:09:01.080 --> 0:09:03.520
<v Speaker 1>Edwards is such an incredible ball hawk and gets interceptions

0:09:03.520 --> 0:09:05.240
<v Speaker 1>every time he's on the field, then why for the

0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:06.640
<v Speaker 1>last three years have we not put him on the

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:09.600
<v Speaker 1>fielderson the time? Well, the reason, probably for the most part,

0:09:09.679 --> 0:09:14.040
<v Speaker 1>was he needed to improve. Yeah, and get getting the

0:09:14.040 --> 0:09:16.320
<v Speaker 1>more physical side of his game, and according to the

0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.360
<v Speaker 1>coaches even as soon as like even as recently as

0:09:19.400 --> 0:09:22.200
<v Speaker 1>the second half of last year, really making big strides

0:09:22.200 --> 0:09:24.080
<v Speaker 1>in that to the point now they're comfortable having on

0:09:24.080 --> 0:09:25.520
<v Speaker 1>the field all the time. Okay, and we have a

0:09:25.600 --> 0:09:28.040
<v Speaker 1>question from Rob. He said, which of the Buck's first

0:09:28.080 --> 0:09:31.280
<v Speaker 1>year players do you see as having the biggest impact?

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:38.480
<v Speaker 1>That including Rocky's I assume Logan Hall. Well, if Luke

0:09:38.480 --> 0:09:41.520
<v Speaker 1>Getticky is starting, you know, think about who's starting. Logan Hall,

0:09:41.520 --> 0:09:43.760
<v Speaker 1>he's not starting at the moment, should play a lot.

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:46.160
<v Speaker 1>Maybe I'll have a big impact as a pass rusher.

0:09:46.200 --> 0:09:47.600
<v Speaker 1>That would be what the Bucks are hoping for. Luke

0:09:47.640 --> 0:09:52.760
<v Speaker 1>Getticky probably starting. So if you're starting on the offensive line, Brady,

0:09:52.800 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>that's a big impact. Rashod White, I think he's actually

0:09:56.040 --> 0:09:57.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna I think he's done a good job and it's

0:09:57.559 --> 0:10:03.920
<v Speaker 1>actually carpet U punters obviously gonna have a j Camarda.

0:10:04.040 --> 0:10:06.520
<v Speaker 1>I'd probably go with Getticky though, I mean every day

0:10:08.280 --> 0:10:11.440
<v Speaker 1>is tempting, but every snap protechnique and Getticky would be

0:10:11.480 --> 0:10:13.240
<v Speaker 1>involved in a lot of what Rashad White would be

0:10:13.280 --> 0:10:15.760
<v Speaker 1>doing too, So we can say that he gets some

0:10:15.800 --> 0:10:18.080
<v Speaker 1>credit for that. Um, you know, I think that we're

0:10:18.120 --> 0:10:20.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about the offensive line. Of course, that's been a

0:10:20.880 --> 0:10:24.080
<v Speaker 1>huge topic and with injuries and still not knowing a

0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of that and the left guard position. So what

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.640
<v Speaker 1>do you think that's going to affect about the offense overall?

0:10:30.679 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that we already know Brady likes a

0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:34.320
<v Speaker 1>lot of the shorter passes and things like that. Do

0:10:34.360 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>you feel like we're going to see that the offense

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>adjusts a little bit to whatever needs to be done

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:42.360
<v Speaker 1>with the O line? Yeah? Well, and I think Tom

0:10:42.400 --> 0:10:45.760
<v Speaker 1>Brady enjoys all the facets of passing, and it's just

0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:48.160
<v Speaker 1>it's been over the last two years. What is the

0:10:48.240 --> 0:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>defense giving you? And the amazing part is over the

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:53.640
<v Speaker 1>last two years combined since Tom Brady has been here,

0:10:53.720 --> 0:10:58.079
<v Speaker 1>he actually leads the NFL in vertical routes both completions

0:10:58.080 --> 0:11:00.880
<v Speaker 1>with two and touchdowns with already nine. You're like, oh,

0:11:00.920 --> 0:11:04.240
<v Speaker 1>no risk, no biscuits. But we know from being there

0:11:04.480 --> 0:11:07.120
<v Speaker 1>and a lot of Bucks fans know that, uh, that

0:11:07.240 --> 0:11:10.760
<v Speaker 1>was more in one. They had to adjust to all

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:14.160
<v Speaker 1>the two deep safety shells and then taking the deep

0:11:14.160 --> 0:11:17.000
<v Speaker 1>passes away. And as you saw in that graphic there

0:11:17.200 --> 0:11:20.200
<v Speaker 1>Tom Brady adjusted to in the offense, and Byron Leftwich

0:11:20.240 --> 0:11:22.880
<v Speaker 1>and and everybody adjusted to an amazing degree, to the

0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:26.440
<v Speaker 1>point that he became the best or most productive passer

0:11:26.480 --> 0:11:28.720
<v Speaker 1>in the league on what they call quick passes, which

0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.880
<v Speaker 1>are ones that are get out of the hand in

0:11:32.040 --> 0:11:34.240
<v Speaker 1>two point five seconds or less from the snap. He

0:11:34.320 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>has that graphic showed he led the league in completions, yards,

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:41.320
<v Speaker 1>and touchdowns on such passes. So there it is again

0:11:41.480 --> 0:11:44.320
<v Speaker 1>when the Buccaneers, when defense has started play Tom Brady

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.880
<v Speaker 1>and his deep ball differently than the Bucks, and Tom

0:11:47.920 --> 0:11:50.839
<v Speaker 1>Brady adjusted and you can see how efficient they were

0:11:50.880 --> 0:11:51.920
<v Speaker 1>at it. And a lot of that had to do

0:11:51.960 --> 0:11:54.040
<v Speaker 1>with such great receivers like Chris Godwin, who was great

0:11:54.080 --> 0:11:56.600
<v Speaker 1>in this type of game. I do believe, because of

0:11:56.640 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>the uncertainty on the offensive line and the fact that

0:12:00.320 --> 0:12:02.120
<v Speaker 1>I think those defenses are going to continue to play

0:12:02.160 --> 0:12:03.679
<v Speaker 1>the Bucks a lot the way they did last year,

0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:04.960
<v Speaker 1>that the Bucks are gonna have to do that a

0:12:04.960 --> 0:12:06.880
<v Speaker 1>lot again. But they got a lot of guys that

0:12:06.960 --> 0:12:08.520
<v Speaker 1>canna do that, and they added Russell Gage, who is

0:12:08.559 --> 0:12:10.080
<v Speaker 1>also very good out of the slot and with the

0:12:10.080 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>ball in his hands. They might make more use of

0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:14.520
<v Speaker 1>guys like Jalen Darden get in the ball quickly. I

0:12:14.559 --> 0:12:19.000
<v Speaker 1>think if you compare, the Bucks offense is going to

0:12:19.000 --> 0:12:22.960
<v Speaker 1>look more like last year's, but it always has to adjust,

0:12:23.280 --> 0:12:25.560
<v Speaker 1>and fortunately Tom Brady has proven that he can pretty

0:12:25.640 --> 0:12:27.679
<v Speaker 1>much adjust to any system that the Buccaneers wanted to do.

0:12:27.800 --> 0:12:29.160
<v Speaker 1>And then we'll close out with this. I know that

0:12:29.200 --> 0:12:30.959
<v Speaker 1>one other thing in the roster cuts that we learned

0:12:31.000 --> 0:12:33.280
<v Speaker 1>was who won the kicking battle, So we now know

0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>that Ryan suck Up will again be the kicker. What

0:12:35.160 --> 0:12:37.559
<v Speaker 1>do you think went into that decision in him winning

0:12:37.640 --> 0:12:39.680
<v Speaker 1>that spot and what that means for maybe even some

0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:43.000
<v Speaker 1>of their strategy this year. Well, that's a good question.

0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's completely answered yet because what you

0:12:45.800 --> 0:12:48.040
<v Speaker 1>what you had in this kicker battle in the battle,

0:12:48.080 --> 0:12:50.160
<v Speaker 1>and the reason why there was a kicker battle is

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.720
<v Speaker 1>that while Ryan suck Up over the past two years

0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:56.280
<v Speaker 1>has as he has been throughout his career, very reliable,

0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:59.200
<v Speaker 1>especially from forty yards in, He's only missed one kick

0:12:59.600 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>from warty yards in since he got here, which is awesome, right,

0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.280
<v Speaker 1>that's what you need first, um, and look by the numbers,

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:09.400
<v Speaker 1>he's the most accurate field goal kicker in team history,

0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.880
<v Speaker 1>so that's good. But last year he only attempted one

0:13:13.000 --> 0:13:14.839
<v Speaker 1>kick of over fifty yards. He didn't make it. I

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>believe his longest one was forty nine, and it got

0:13:17.000 --> 0:13:18.800
<v Speaker 1>to the point where the Bucklers really were not sending

0:13:18.840 --> 0:13:21.240
<v Speaker 1>him out there to try lung field goals. That's why

0:13:21.320 --> 0:13:24.080
<v Speaker 1>jose Borgas had a shot. Clearly has a big leg

0:13:24.480 --> 0:13:26.480
<v Speaker 1>if he can give you some fifty two and fifty.

0:13:26.520 --> 0:13:28.079
<v Speaker 1>He had a fifty six yarder in the preseason, but

0:13:28.080 --> 0:13:29.800
<v Speaker 1>then he missed a fifty two yarder and he missed

0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:33.760
<v Speaker 1>the forty nine yarder that could have won the first game. Um,

0:13:33.880 --> 0:13:36.840
<v Speaker 1>before you coaches have to decide. I think that before

0:13:36.880 --> 0:13:38.720
<v Speaker 1>you can have the luxury of a guy who can

0:13:38.720 --> 0:13:40.360
<v Speaker 1>give you a fifty five yard or you have to

0:13:40.360 --> 0:13:42.319
<v Speaker 1>make sure he can make the gimmes. And I think

0:13:42.360 --> 0:13:44.959
<v Speaker 1>they just decided in the end, Ryan suck Up is

0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:47.439
<v Speaker 1>the better choice. It's the guy that you know can

0:13:47.440 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>do it. Maybe Jose could have done it. Honestly, I

0:13:49.360 --> 0:13:51.000
<v Speaker 1>think he's going to get on somewhere in the league.

0:13:51.160 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 1>Maybe Jose could be that guy, but they weren't sure.

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:56.280
<v Speaker 1>With Ryan suck Up here a lot more sure. I think,

0:13:56.320 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>and then he made a fifty two yard in the

0:13:57.840 --> 0:14:00.400
<v Speaker 1>field goals, so you know it could have been physically choose.

0:14:01.240 --> 0:14:03.360
<v Speaker 1>It could be that Ryan Sucker is back to not

0:14:03.480 --> 0:14:06.520
<v Speaker 1>only being automatic from forty in, but also you can

0:14:06.520 --> 0:14:08.440
<v Speaker 1>send them out their forty five or fifty two and

0:14:08.480 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe that's what they're thinking. Okay, well that's going to

0:14:10.320 --> 0:14:12.760
<v Speaker 1>do it for us on this edition of Buck's Insider Live.

0:14:12.800 --> 0:14:14.520
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for joining us, and we'll be

0:14:14.559 --> 0:14:17.679
<v Speaker 1>back here next week to take your final questions leading

0:14:17.760 --> 0:14:20.000
<v Speaker 1>up to that regular season opener. We'll see then
