Speaker 1: Welcome to Bucks Insider Live.
Speaker 2: Casey Phillips here with senior writer and editor Scott Smith,
Speaker 2: and we are doing a very special Creamsicle version of
Speaker 2: our show. Got the memo we did, which I love.
Speaker 2: We didn't even have to send a memo. We just
Speaker 2: showed up and we were like the Spider Man met
Speaker 2: look at you, look at this. I mean, obviously we
Speaker 2: had to do this today because unless you've been living
Speaker 2: under a rock, you know that the Creamsickle jerseys were
Speaker 2: announced yesterday.
Speaker 1: We've known they were coming for a long time, but we.
Speaker 2: Just hadn't seen them. Look at this majestic video. First
Speaker 2: of all, shout out to our whole production team. This
Speaker 2: was a really long process to get this all made
Speaker 2: and done, and it took a lot of effort by
Speaker 2: a lot of people. Turned out so well, it's great
Speaker 2: and so many. I mean, you see it all all
Speaker 2: Scott Ronde, Derek, you got all the former players, you
Speaker 2: got your current stars and people helping all put this together,
Speaker 2: showing that this is something that is really the entire
Speaker 2: Bucks history and family all together to promote these jerseys.
Speaker 3: And if these current players look like they're excited about this,
Speaker 3: it's not theater. Yeah, we know from these guys from
Speaker 3: the shoots and just seeing him behind the scenes, they
Speaker 3: are excited about this. They are really thrill They've been
Speaker 3: waiting for it for a long time. Lavata David actually
Speaker 3: got to wear it once, but none of these other
Speaker 3: guys have worn it before.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they really were excited.
Speaker 2: I remember on the Assets shoot day in particular, the
Speaker 2: reaction I remember is Carlton Davis, and I know we
Speaker 2: have it on video, so I don't know if now
Speaker 2: that the jerseys are out, we might be putting that out.
Speaker 1: We'll see. But he basically acted like he was fainting.
Speaker 1: He was so excited about it. I love all those reactions.
Speaker 2: And you know what, though, it is not just the
Speaker 2: current players that are having some reactions. We also saw
Speaker 2: there were some celebrities in this video. One is Bert Kreischer.
Speaker 2: This guy, if you don't know who he is, he
Speaker 2: is a comedian. He is very, very funny, and he
Speaker 2: is a diehard Bucks fan. The Bucks sent him a
Speaker 2: custom jersey for him, and he obviously was so excited.
Speaker 2: And this guy also very expressive man, so it's very
Speaker 2: exciting to get to have him reacting. You can see
Speaker 2: in the reveal video. He's I mean he's famous for
Speaker 2: performing without his shirt on sari. Yes, this is part
Speaker 2: of it. And so then also of course he got
Speaker 2: to meet mikeel.
Speaker 4: Stott and was in pretty good shape.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just a tiny bit. Michael Stott looks like he
Speaker 2: could still just right up the middle. Geez I, guy's
Speaker 2: been working out a tiny bit. Bert was basically saying,
Speaker 2: and that we have a video of it that he's like,
Speaker 2: you know what, our stomachs basically are the same. They
Speaker 2: look basically, he said, I Alstot just shaves his He
Speaker 2: says that's.
Speaker 1: Yes. So we loved that.
Speaker 2: And then also right before the release, Luke Colmbs was
Speaker 2: performing in Tampa and we saw that he was also
Speaker 2: excited about the creamsicles that he rocked the hat while
Speaker 2: he was up there performing in Raymond James Stadium, which
Speaker 2: was very cool. And then he also was met by
Speaker 2: a very special guest of the Buccaneers. We had Tristan
Speaker 2: Wurf's up there with him and of course shotgutting a
Speaker 2: beard to death. Together loved this. That was you could
Speaker 2: just look Tristan's living his best life.
Speaker 4: I had some pre pre training camp training for Tristan
Speaker 4: Wrss right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that guy.
Speaker 2: I mean, we've seen he can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 2: He can shot the gun the or he can jump
Speaker 2: out of a pool.
Speaker 1: He's always ready. He's always ready for football, which was
Speaker 1: so great.
Speaker 2: And then another current player that was very excited about it,
Speaker 2: Rashad White. I love this guy. He's excited about everything.
Speaker 2: He's at everything, and he.
Speaker 1: Was tweeting even like counting down the minutes to the release.
Speaker 1: He could not wait for it. Was so pumped when
Speaker 1: he was trying it on.
Speaker 2: And so we had to give him a shout out
Speaker 2: because he had been so excited in his number one creamskill,
Speaker 2: his new number, his new number, there's a good line and.
Speaker 4: His new spot in the Buccaneers backfield that is very true.
Speaker 2: And then it's a good segue into NFL network. Good
Speaker 2: Morning Football did a breakout Star second year player segment
Speaker 2: and they talked about Rashad, which I think we would
Speaker 2: all here agree with.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 3: The good thing about this prediction is that for one thing,
Speaker 3: he's going to have the opportunity. He played at about
Speaker 3: forty nine percent of the offensive snaps last year. It'll
Speaker 3: probably get more like seventy five percent. This year, especially
Speaker 3: if he shows like he did in college that he
Speaker 3: can be a special producer in the passing game, getting
Speaker 3: the ball out in space and making guys miss.
Speaker 4: So I think that's a good pick on their partner.
Speaker 1: Yep, I agree with that. And now it is time
Speaker 1: for our weekly trivia segment.
Speaker 4: Which also pays homage to our topic of the day.
Speaker 1: I would expect nothing less.
Speaker 3: The trivia question for today is only two players in
Speaker 3: Buccaneers franchise history have played in at least fifty regular
Speaker 3: season games in both the orange and white uniforms and
Speaker 3: the current red and pewter uniforms.
Speaker 4: Can you name those two guys?
Speaker 1: Ooh interesting?
Speaker 4: Have you thought about this one at all?
Speaker 2: I thought about it a little bit, but again, as
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not really great at the older books trivia.
Speaker 2: I like it to be in the previous eight seasons
Speaker 2: that I've been a part of.
Speaker 1: But we'll see if anybody.
Speaker 4: Else out there hast some names.
Speaker 2: Yep, so name even if you don't know both. If
Speaker 2: you know anything, just throw out some suggestions. If you
Speaker 2: have your answer underneath our Facebook live video, that's where
Speaker 2: we're going to pull from.
Speaker 1: So again, if you have some ideas or suggestions.
Speaker 2: Throw it underneath our Facebook Live video and we will
Speaker 2: try to show some of those later in the show.
Speaker 2: So now we know again the Cream School the big
Speaker 2: news of the day, but we are also so close
Speaker 2: to training camp. The dates have been announced. So if
Speaker 2: you haven't seen all that, head of buck dot com,
Speaker 2: where you can see the general open day for fans,
Speaker 2: you can see the women of read day, of the
Speaker 2: Military Day, there's a night practice, a lot of really
Speaker 2: cool things which is going to be great. So we
Speaker 2: thought we'd also look at a little bit of some
Speaker 2: of these battles that people are going to be excited
Speaker 2: to watch in training camp when they come out to see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we're just about two weeks away from training camp.
Speaker 3: I think two weeks from now they'll be practicing. It's
Speaker 3: the first open practice is until the thirtieth, But when
Speaker 3: they get there, there's gonna be some battles that are
Speaker 3: going to pick up in earnest.
Speaker 4: Now, this is all not binary.
Speaker 3: Not all these things really are as black and white
Speaker 3: in this It's not necessarily one versus two. There could
Speaker 3: be other people in the mix, but obviously the big
Speaker 3: one is Baker Mayfield and Kyle trast battling to be
Speaker 3: the starting quarterback. Another one everybody's going to be looking
Speaker 3: at is with Rashad White moving into the number one role.
Speaker 3: You generally in the NFL don't use one guy as
Speaker 3: a bell ky back anymore, So there's surely going to
Speaker 3: be a second guy that's going to have the next
Speaker 3: biggest role. Is going to be keisha On Vaughn in
Speaker 3: his fourth year, the last year of his contract. Or
Speaker 3: Chase Edmonds, the veteran who's had some good seasons and
Speaker 3: can catch passes really well.
Speaker 4: So that's one wide.
Speaker 3: Receiver for If you consider Russell Gage the three, presuming
Speaker 3: he's healthy heading into camp. Is it Trey Palmer as
Speaker 3: a guy that can stretch defenses. Is it Devin Tompkins,
Speaker 3: who kind of is a versaal guy and also might
Speaker 3: help you on kick returns, which Trey Palmer might too.
Speaker 3: Might Beyond that, it's a lot of really young guys
Speaker 3: cornerback three. This is the one that's a little bit
Speaker 3: hazy because Zion.
Speaker 1: Mccallums, I see what you did there.
Speaker 2: Oh, I didn't even do it on po get that
Speaker 2: you're just already in the joke mode.
Speaker 4: I will admit that but I got Yeah, I guess
Speaker 4: I generated them with not even trying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like that.
Speaker 3: You know, Josh Hey, Zion McCollum may or may not
Speaker 3: be in the mix for that nickel role. But third
Speaker 3: cornerback could also mean who's your third guy in if
Speaker 3: one of your two outside guys isn't playing. You know,
Speaker 3: d Delaney might be in the role for running for
Speaker 3: the slot job too. But who's the guy that would
Speaker 3: you would consider third on your depth charge? Is it
Speaker 3: the rookie who's kind of versatile might play in the slot.
Speaker 3: Is it Zion McCollum who has a little bit of
Speaker 3: experience and it's a bigger guy that could play on
Speaker 3: the outside.
Speaker 4: And then that fourth guy in.
Speaker 3: The rotation if you consider it to be Joe try
Speaker 3: and sh Shayanka Shaq Barrett and Anthony Nelson.
Speaker 4: Is the first three?
Speaker 3: You got two draft choices, the third round pick yah
Speaker 3: Yadiyabi or the sixth round pick Jose Ramirez. Both of
Speaker 3: them have a lot of traits. Both of them you
Speaker 3: need to get a little bit more polished. Which one
Speaker 3: will show up the most training camp to be that
Speaker 3: guy who's fourth in their rotation?
Speaker 2: And one position that we know is not a battle
Speaker 2: is your top wide receiver response, and Mike Evans is
Speaker 2: a guy that we know. It's not like we're wondering
Speaker 2: what he's necessarily going to be, but we are still
Speaker 2: watching for some things in terms of some numbers that
Speaker 2: he could hit, which everyone is used to. Every year,
Speaker 2: there's always been some milestone that Mike Evans has been going.
Speaker 4: And he's already passed most and he's.
Speaker 2: Already passed most of them, but that does not mean
Speaker 2: we're without any this year.
Speaker 1: So what if something Fans can stay on the look
Speaker 1: out there.
Speaker 3: I'm glad you found a good segue for that, because
Speaker 3: I'm like, this one doesn't really fail.
Speaker 4: With the rest, but I swear I just did my job.
Speaker 3: I just ran across this note in the NFL's New
Speaker 3: Record in fact book. I didn't know this one before
Speaker 3: a couple of days ago, so I like, I gotta
Speaker 3: throw this one out there, because everybody knows that Mike
Speaker 3: Evans has already set an NFL record by getting at
Speaker 3: least a thousand receiving yards in the first nine seasons
Speaker 3: of his career, and if he gets another one, he'll
Speaker 3: be a ten, which is one short of Jerry Rice's
Speaker 3: overall record, but I did not realize that he actually
Speaker 3: already has a record for the most consecutive seasons to
Speaker 3: start a career with at least sixty catches. And if
Speaker 3: you think of all the great receivers that have been
Speaker 3: out there, Jerry Rice, all the others, everybody, none of
Speaker 3: them other than Mike have gotten nine straight season to
Speaker 3: start their career with at least sixty catches, which was
Speaker 3: shocking to me.
Speaker 4: Well, and here's the.
Speaker 2: Other guys in the list, when Mike is not the
Speaker 2: guy that necessarily is just your little slot guy that's
Speaker 2: getting a lot of quick little hits that he's you know,
Speaker 2: a lot of times running deeper routes or more challenging
Speaker 2: routes or things that are not as high of a
Speaker 2: percentage as some other guys that maybe are getting some
Speaker 2: slightly easier catches, maybe not as.
Speaker 4: Many yards like a Jarvis Slandry type.
Speaker 2: Right, And so that I think makes it even more
Speaker 2: impressive that to me, probably going for harder catches, he
Speaker 2: is still one of the only people to have that many.
Speaker 3: Well, part of that is is he really quietly and
Speaker 3: I don't think people give him enough credit for this.
Speaker 3: Has a lot of versatility to do it game. He
Speaker 3: could really do just about anything. I know that he
Speaker 3: doesn't play a ton in the slot, but he could
Speaker 3: do it. And he can win at all three levels
Speaker 3: of the field. And you know, I've been talking to
Speaker 3: some people that think this could be not a breakout
Speaker 3: year for him obviously, or even rebound year, because he
Speaker 3: has nothing to rebound for him from. But if you
Speaker 3: look at his stats in the Tom Brady era, when
Speaker 3: the Buccaneers had a million weapons and Tom Brady was
Speaker 3: getting rid of the ball really quickly, Mike Evans was
Speaker 3: still usually your first or second leading receiver, but his
Speaker 3: numbers were a little bit down from the previous years.
Speaker 3: With this new offense, and these new quarterbacks will probably
Speaker 3: have some more longer developing plays, which should lead to
Speaker 3: more opportunities for Mike Evanson kitdomfield.
Speaker 2: That would be really exciting for sure. And all right,
Speaker 2: so now it's time for our trivia answer.
Speaker 4: Okay, tell us.
Speaker 3: What we have for Well, if you had to think
Speaker 3: about this, you had to think of a guy who
Speaker 3: maybe started in the mid I mean the early nineties
Speaker 3: and then crossed over. But actually the number one answer
Speaker 3: is David Moore because he came back after a couple
Speaker 3: of years in Buffalo and played until about two thousand
Speaker 3: and seven. So David Moore is one of them with
Speaker 3: sixty six games played in the original uniforms and one
Speaker 3: hundred and twenty four in the Pewter. And then John
Speaker 3: Lynch was drafted in ninety three, so we had four
Speaker 3: years I think with the original uniforms and then played
Speaker 3: for quite a long time after that. He had fifty
Speaker 3: six in the original and one hundred and eight. And
Speaker 3: I was surprised when I looked this up that those
Speaker 3: were the only two, because my immediate thought was Tony
Speaker 3: Mayberry and Paul Gruber, who basically their career straddled the
Speaker 3: entire nineteen nineties. But the Pewter, the PUERI uniforms began
Speaker 3: in ninety seven and went to ninety nine, and that's
Speaker 3: only three seasons, which back then was a maximum of
Speaker 3: forty eight games. Yeah, so they both had forty eight
Speaker 3: games played. They didn't make fifth. Oh that's so regular.
Speaker 1: Season only, yes, regular season, because.
Speaker 4: They did get a couple play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great. I like that tribute question, but that
Speaker 1: was good. All right, Well, thank you guys.
Speaker 2: So much for joining us on our creamsicle edition of
Speaker 2: Bucks Insader Live. We'll be back here next week again,
Speaker 2: getting you ready for everything you need to know in
Speaker 2: training camp.
