<v Speaker 1>already where you're watching, and you can leave us a

0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.239
<v Speaker 1>question underneath our live video in the comments section. While

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.240
<v Speaker 1>we give people a chance to do that, I mean,

0:00:27.280 --> 0:00:29.880
<v Speaker 1>there are polenty of things for us to talk about

0:00:29.880 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>with that game that was. That was a ride that

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 1>that was a heck of a ride. So uh and

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we also, of course had an award this morning. Seems

0:00:37.440 --> 0:00:40.519
<v Speaker 1>like that's just gonna be our pattern here, So why

0:00:40.520 --> 0:00:42.800
<v Speaker 1>don't you take us through who won an award and

0:00:43.200 --> 0:00:46.760
<v Speaker 1>some of some of the reasons why from that game. Yeah,

0:00:46.800 --> 0:00:49.960
<v Speaker 1>it's rare for a player to win one of the

0:00:50.040 --> 0:00:52.520
<v Speaker 1>UH Players the Week awards in a game that they lost.

0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:54.960
<v Speaker 1>So as long as we keep having these news hits

0:00:54.960 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of news every Wednesday, were in good shape. Mike Edwards

0:00:58.160 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week, the first

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:02.880
<v Speaker 1>time he's won that award, and when you do something

0:01:02.920 --> 0:01:05.800
<v Speaker 1>that nobody's done in almost thirty years, that being two

0:01:05.800 --> 0:01:08.760
<v Speaker 1>pick sixes and one quarter one fourth quarter, you're probably

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:11.520
<v Speaker 1>gonna win an award. So, um, you know, it was

0:01:11.560 --> 0:01:14.360
<v Speaker 1>more of an offensive day as was Week one, but

0:01:14.600 --> 0:01:16.440
<v Speaker 1>there at the end the Buccaneers turned it up a

0:01:16.480 --> 0:01:19.399
<v Speaker 1>notch and Mike Edwards was playing a pretty interesting role

0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>in that. With Sean Murphy bunting out, Buccaneers needed different

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:26.360
<v Speaker 1>answer in the in the slot and it was Ross

0:01:26.360 --> 0:01:28.080
<v Speaker 1>Cockroll for a good person in the game, and then

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:31.199
<v Speaker 1>they turned to Mike Edwards. So he's a safety by trade,

0:01:31.200 --> 0:01:33.840
<v Speaker 1>but he was playing nickel corner for much of that game,

0:01:33.920 --> 0:01:36.160
<v Speaker 1>or much of the second half, and he that was

0:01:36.200 --> 0:01:39.160
<v Speaker 1>where he was on his first pick when, according to

0:01:39.240 --> 0:01:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Bruce Arians, he sort of bated um Uh the quarterback

0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.720
<v Speaker 1>into throwing Matt Ryan of course into throwing that pass

0:01:46.200 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 1>and then jumped it. And then the second one was

0:01:48.520 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>was a double corner blitz where Carlton Davis came off

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:55.400
<v Speaker 1>one side the left of the um and then um

0:01:55.640 --> 0:01:58.200
<v Speaker 1>Mike Edwards came off the other side and Carlton tipped

0:01:58.200 --> 0:02:00.440
<v Speaker 1>it up and Mike, of course, the football just lines Mike.

0:02:00.520 --> 0:02:03.440
<v Speaker 1>It's apparently it's magnetic and it's attracted to him because

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.080
<v Speaker 1>the amount of times that he touches the ball, uh,

0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.360
<v Speaker 1>in the amount of snaps that he gets, it's pretty incredible.

0:02:10.160 --> 0:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>So then of course a lot of people are asking

0:02:11.720 --> 0:02:14.160
<v Speaker 1>should he get more snaps? Right that we've talked about

0:02:14.200 --> 0:02:17.440
<v Speaker 1>how every time he gets snaps he seems to find

0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>the ball. So looking at now, of course with the

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.400
<v Speaker 1>fact that Sean Murphy Bunting is out and uh, we

0:02:23.440 --> 0:02:25.200
<v Speaker 1>talked a little bit last week about how there's there's

0:02:25.200 --> 0:02:27.680
<v Speaker 1>sort of this musical chairs idea of what they're having

0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.240
<v Speaker 1>to do with the dvs to fill in for everybody.

0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:33.080
<v Speaker 1>What is that going to mean for Mike Edwards and

0:02:33.120 --> 0:02:36.000
<v Speaker 1>what he's asked to do? Um and then overall, now

0:02:36.000 --> 0:02:38.360
<v Speaker 1>we've seen Jordan Whitehead came back for the first time,

0:02:38.600 --> 0:02:42.200
<v Speaker 1>what you think about our secondary situation, who's going to

0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:44.359
<v Speaker 1>be in what role and what that could mean? Well,

0:02:44.400 --> 0:02:47.040
<v Speaker 1>I think he will get more snaps because Sean Murphy

0:02:47.040 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Bunting is out, and because they like to bring Mike

0:02:49.040 --> 0:02:52.720
<v Speaker 1>Edwards in to place Jordan Whitehead sometimes in obvious passing

0:02:52.720 --> 0:02:55.840
<v Speaker 1>downs because you know, Jordan, whyde is such a physical player,

0:02:56.560 --> 0:02:58.760
<v Speaker 1>really brings a nice presence up around the line of

0:02:58.760 --> 0:03:01.360
<v Speaker 1>scrimmage a lot of the time. Um, and Mike Edwards

0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:03.840
<v Speaker 1>is more of a ball hawking safety type, you know,

0:03:03.919 --> 0:03:07.480
<v Speaker 1>free safety type. So um, they were already going to

0:03:07.520 --> 0:03:09.200
<v Speaker 1>do that anyway. Now if he proves to be our

0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.000
<v Speaker 1>best option, or at least one of the best options

0:03:12.000 --> 0:03:14.560
<v Speaker 1>in the nickel, then he'll be getting on field that

0:03:14.560 --> 0:03:17.359
<v Speaker 1>that way too. And Bruce Arian said the other day

0:03:17.400 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>that he's earned more playing time, So I think it's

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty clear they're gonna be using him. And if if

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:24.240
<v Speaker 1>he can prove to be a good option in the nickel,

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:28.080
<v Speaker 1>that will really help to ease the you know, the

0:03:28.160 --> 0:03:32.040
<v Speaker 1>problems with Sean Murphy punting being out okay, and uh,

0:03:32.200 --> 0:03:35.240
<v Speaker 1>speaking of all the dB situation, of course, Bruce has

0:03:35.280 --> 0:03:38.120
<v Speaker 1>asked about this either yesterday the day before, I believe,

0:03:38.240 --> 0:03:41.560
<v Speaker 1>and uh, Dusty asked, what are the chances of Richard

0:03:41.560 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>Sherman joining the team? Well, there's chances it is a chance,

0:03:45.880 --> 0:03:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean, uh, And I say that because he confirmed

0:03:48.960 --> 0:03:52.120
<v Speaker 1>that Jason Light has reached out to Richard Sherman and

0:03:52.360 --> 0:03:55.960
<v Speaker 1>they've discussed the possibility. So um. He also said that

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>Richard Sherman has some other options so that it's not

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.080
<v Speaker 1>necessarily just if the Bucks won him, they got him.

0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:04.080
<v Speaker 1>It has to be a two way street there, and

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.840
<v Speaker 1>I'd imagine that someone that has to do with what

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:08.880
<v Speaker 1>is the conversation going to be? You know, they have

0:04:08.920 --> 0:04:11.240
<v Speaker 1>to come to a number that both sides like if

0:04:11.280 --> 0:04:14.320
<v Speaker 1>they want to do that. So and then also does

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Richard Sherman If they lay out the role that they

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:19.240
<v Speaker 1>want for Richard Sherman, is he satisfied with that or

0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:22.559
<v Speaker 1>does he find something better somewhere else. It doesn't seem

0:04:22.640 --> 0:04:24.919
<v Speaker 1>likely to me that he'll be without a job for

0:04:25.000 --> 0:04:27.800
<v Speaker 1>too much longer because injuries happened in the NFL, and

0:04:28.480 --> 0:04:32.640
<v Speaker 1>this is obviously a quality cornerback. He's he's a proven guy. Um.

0:04:32.760 --> 0:04:35.320
<v Speaker 1>Maybe not at the absolute height of his powers as

0:04:35.320 --> 0:04:37.720
<v Speaker 1>he was earlier in his career, but still obviously a

0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:40.880
<v Speaker 1>proven NFL cornerback. And as we've talked about many times,

0:04:40.920 --> 0:04:43.520
<v Speaker 1>those aren't easy to find. So um, I guess all

0:04:43.560 --> 0:04:45.960
<v Speaker 1>I could say is it's possible because they're they're talking

0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:50.159
<v Speaker 1>about it. Okay. Our next one was from Rafael. He asked,

0:04:50.240 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>does playoff liney take the majority of the snaps going

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:57.599
<v Speaker 1>forward do you think, Well, it really is gonna have

0:04:57.720 --> 0:05:02.400
<v Speaker 1>to do with how Ronald Joe responds too. You know,

0:05:02.440 --> 0:05:04.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure he's getting some some hard coaching this week

0:05:04.960 --> 0:05:08.039
<v Speaker 1>because Bruce Arians clearly wasn't happy with a couple of

0:05:08.080 --> 0:05:10.719
<v Speaker 1>his plays. He's running the ball well, there's no question

0:05:10.760 --> 0:05:14.440
<v Speaker 1>about that. Um, it's just you can't miss block, you

0:05:14.480 --> 0:05:17.159
<v Speaker 1>can't miss assignments in the blocking scheme and get your

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:21.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback hit and uh, you know he's going to have

0:05:21.160 --> 0:05:23.080
<v Speaker 1>to clean up that part of the game. That's basically

0:05:23.120 --> 0:05:25.040
<v Speaker 1>what Bruce Arian says. He is he just has to

0:05:25.080 --> 0:05:28.520
<v Speaker 1>play better, but he can. Um. If he doesn't, then yeah,

0:05:28.520 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>obviously Leonard Fournett is going to get more of the

0:05:30.200 --> 0:05:32.080
<v Speaker 1>carries and he's running pretty well too. It's just that

0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't think they want to give up on ron

0:05:34.640 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 1>Jones having a significant part in this stuff. It's just

0:05:37.360 --> 0:05:39.039
<v Speaker 1>yet because when he has the ball in his hands,

0:05:39.080 --> 0:05:42.400
<v Speaker 1>he has looked good as a runner. Okay, And how

0:05:42.480 --> 0:05:45.360
<v Speaker 1>overall have you seen the running back corps being used

0:05:45.440 --> 0:05:47.160
<v Speaker 1>compared to maybe you know, we talked a lot about

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this before the season, that this was one of the

0:05:49.120 --> 0:05:53.080
<v Speaker 1>most intriguing position groups when there was so much consistency

0:05:53.120 --> 0:05:55.120
<v Speaker 1>of how much was it gonna be Rojo, how much

0:05:55.160 --> 0:05:56.640
<v Speaker 1>was it gonna be for net then you added Geo

0:05:56.760 --> 0:05:59.279
<v Speaker 1>Bernard into the mix. Um, how have you seen that

0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:02.960
<v Speaker 1>effect um, the way they've used everybody and overall just

0:06:03.120 --> 0:06:06.200
<v Speaker 1>the expectations maybe for that room and what it could

0:06:06.240 --> 0:06:09.400
<v Speaker 1>look like. Well, I think it's been pretty obviously a

0:06:10.240 --> 0:06:12.880
<v Speaker 1>time share up to now. We'll see if that stays

0:06:13.000 --> 0:06:15.440
<v Speaker 1>the same going forward. I mean every game going back

0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:18.080
<v Speaker 1>to the preseason, and they've been playing game two of

0:06:18.080 --> 0:06:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the preseason, so we're talking about four games and they

0:06:20.240 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>have gone. They alternated starts, and then in this last

0:06:24.120 --> 0:06:28.000
<v Speaker 1>game they were essentially alternating drives throughout almost the entire game.

0:06:28.200 --> 0:06:31.000
<v Speaker 1>It was Ronald Jones first and then learn Fournett was

0:06:31.040 --> 0:06:33.800
<v Speaker 1>on the second drive, Jones the third drive, Learnt was

0:06:33.839 --> 0:06:36.840
<v Speaker 1>on the fourth drive. It was clearly just a split

0:06:36.960 --> 0:06:39.960
<v Speaker 1>right down the middle. And the only way that changes

0:06:40.040 --> 0:06:43.279
<v Speaker 1>if is if somebody grabs the reins and you know,

0:06:43.320 --> 0:06:45.880
<v Speaker 1>gets the hot hand and they stay with him. Right now,

0:06:45.920 --> 0:06:48.520
<v Speaker 1>both guys were running with about the same amount of effectiveness.

0:06:48.920 --> 0:06:51.200
<v Speaker 1>Of course, as we just said, Leonard Fournette has done

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:53.680
<v Speaker 1>a better job of blocking and probably a little bit

0:06:53.720 --> 0:06:56.279
<v Speaker 1>better job in the passing game. And the GEO Vonnie

0:06:56.279 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Bernard thing. Bruce arians said again that he's their third

0:06:58.920 --> 0:07:00.839
<v Speaker 1>down in two minute back, but I think we have

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:03.479
<v Speaker 1>seen there have been plenty of third downs when they've

0:07:03.480 --> 0:07:06.400
<v Speaker 1>had Leonard Fournette on the field, So you know, I

0:07:06.400 --> 0:07:09.000
<v Speaker 1>would say Geo Vannie Bernard's role has been a little

0:07:09.000 --> 0:07:11.480
<v Speaker 1>smaller than I expected. That certainly could change as well,

0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.960
<v Speaker 1>but otherwise they clearly wanted to do as split right

0:07:14.960 --> 0:07:17.520
<v Speaker 1>down the middle. We'll see if that lasts though. Okay,

0:07:17.680 --> 0:07:20.480
<v Speaker 1>And we also had a question from Jermaine asking do

0:07:20.520 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>you think Scotty Miller gets more involved moving forward. It's

0:07:25.000 --> 0:07:27.960
<v Speaker 1>just hard, basically, it's it's hard to figure out how, um,

0:07:28.600 --> 0:07:31.600
<v Speaker 1>you just you don't offer, We don't. We did do

0:07:31.640 --> 0:07:33.520
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of four wide in that game a

0:07:33.520 --> 0:07:35.440
<v Speaker 1>little bit, and Scotty got on the field a little

0:07:35.440 --> 0:07:37.720
<v Speaker 1>bit in those cases, um, and he got in the

0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>field a couple of snaps. I think for Antonio Brown,

0:07:40.880 --> 0:07:44.240
<v Speaker 1>I just you just don't want to take Mike Evans

0:07:44.520 --> 0:07:47.960
<v Speaker 1>and Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown off the field. You know,

0:07:48.080 --> 0:07:50.000
<v Speaker 1>It's just unless one of them is hard or tired

0:07:50.080 --> 0:07:52.280
<v Speaker 1>needs it needs a rest or something. Why do you

0:07:52.320 --> 0:07:53.680
<v Speaker 1>want to take any of those guys off the field,

0:07:53.720 --> 0:07:56.920
<v Speaker 1>And that's not necessarily a fun situation for Scotty. And

0:07:57.080 --> 0:07:58.960
<v Speaker 1>then you have to Tyler Johnson, who if they want

0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.280
<v Speaker 1>to give Chris god when a US like on running

0:08:01.280 --> 0:08:03.760
<v Speaker 1>plays and not making block on every single running play,

0:08:03.800 --> 0:08:07.040
<v Speaker 1>they bringing Tyler Johnson. So it's just hard to find

0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 1>snaps because we're talking about three and four wise, but

0:08:10.440 --> 0:08:12.720
<v Speaker 1>we also have to utilize these tight ends and the

0:08:12.760 --> 0:08:15.440
<v Speaker 1>two tight inset was very effective in the last game.

0:08:16.800 --> 0:08:18.840
<v Speaker 1>So where are we finding these snaps? I think what

0:08:18.880 --> 0:08:21.440
<v Speaker 1>it is? It's it's not how can we change what

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.160
<v Speaker 1>we're doing now, it's these guys will have to wait

0:08:24.160 --> 0:08:26.480
<v Speaker 1>their term maybe a little bit, and you hardly ever

0:08:26.520 --> 0:08:29.160
<v Speaker 1>make it through a season without getting some injuries that

0:08:29.160 --> 0:08:31.080
<v Speaker 1>cost a guy a week er two. And it will

0:08:31.120 --> 0:08:33.880
<v Speaker 1>be very valuable to have Scotty Miller and Tyler Johnson

0:08:33.920 --> 0:08:37.440
<v Speaker 1>to possibly fill in bigger roles when they're needed. And

0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:41.000
<v Speaker 1>looking at this Rams team got some new editions since

0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the last time we played them, even know it feels

0:08:42.520 --> 0:08:45.200
<v Speaker 1>like we've played them so many times over the last

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:47.240
<v Speaker 1>however many years. To be a team that isn't in

0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.679
<v Speaker 1>our division. It just feels like we have played them

0:08:49.720 --> 0:08:52.040
<v Speaker 1>over and over and over. But some aspects of the

0:08:52.080 --> 0:08:54.960
<v Speaker 1>same Aaron Donald, that is forever the thing that we

0:08:55.000 --> 0:08:58.199
<v Speaker 1>will start talking about. Now you've got Matthew Stafford, you

0:08:58.280 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>got Jalen Ramsey, I mean you have Raheem Morris is

0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:04.079
<v Speaker 1>very familiar with the Buccaneers and what they like to

0:09:04.120 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>do on the coaching side. So what are the aspects

0:09:05.720 --> 0:09:08.600
<v Speaker 1>of who the Rams are now that maybe worry you

0:09:08.640 --> 0:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>the most or you think the Bucks want to focus

0:09:10.360 --> 0:09:12.960
<v Speaker 1>on the most. Well, the Rams are sort of like

0:09:13.000 --> 0:09:16.120
<v Speaker 1>a supergroup. You know, they had they got all of

0:09:16.200 --> 0:09:17.880
<v Speaker 1>the members of the band, but they wanted a new

0:09:17.920 --> 0:09:20.480
<v Speaker 1>front man and so they got rid of Jared Goff

0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.320
<v Speaker 1>and they put Matthew Stafford up there at the mic.

0:09:22.360 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>And that's obviously the biggest difference and the the scariest

0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:29.400
<v Speaker 1>part of it all. On paper, it looked like a

0:09:29.400 --> 0:09:32.760
<v Speaker 1>fantastic idea. He drops right into an offense that has

0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:36.560
<v Speaker 1>a great group of past catchers that you saw what

0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:39.280
<v Speaker 1>they did was last year with with Robert Woods and

0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:42.280
<v Speaker 1>Cooper Cup having about twenty five catches and I'm not

0:09:42.320 --> 0:09:47.000
<v Speaker 1>exaggerating between them for close to three yards and uh

0:09:47.080 --> 0:09:49.679
<v Speaker 1>and now they have Tyler Higbee is a great tight end.

0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:52.800
<v Speaker 1>They got de Sean Jackson, they drafted Van Jefferson, and

0:09:53.120 --> 0:09:57.079
<v Speaker 1>you have Stafford backed up by a fantastic defense. On paper,

0:09:57.160 --> 0:10:00.199
<v Speaker 1>looks like a great idea, and then in action over

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.000
<v Speaker 1>the first two weeks, it looks like a great idea.

0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, they looked really good. I personally, I think

0:10:04.960 --> 0:10:07.360
<v Speaker 1>we answered some questions in the offseason about what I

0:10:07.360 --> 0:10:10.480
<v Speaker 1>thought was the most challenging team game on our schedule

0:10:10.480 --> 0:10:12.000
<v Speaker 1>when the schedule came out and I said, I thought

0:10:12.000 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>it was this one. Now that they got Matthew Stafford

0:10:13.960 --> 0:10:16.320
<v Speaker 1>and I haven't changed my mind, and they look really

0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.160
<v Speaker 1>really good. If you look at the power I don't

0:10:18.160 --> 0:10:20.880
<v Speaker 1>know if you're into power rankings or not. They're fun reads.

0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.280
<v Speaker 1>They will mean a lot, but the power rankings this week,

0:10:23.520 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>most of the places that I look have the Bucks

0:10:25.080 --> 0:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>one in the rams too, So it's a it's an

0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:30.760
<v Speaker 1>incredible challenge on the road. First time we've been in

0:10:30.760 --> 0:10:33.160
<v Speaker 1>so Fi Stadium. Um, I think it's gonna be a

0:10:33.160 --> 0:10:35.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. But that Matthew just Stafford really changes

0:10:35.559 --> 0:10:37.320
<v Speaker 1>everything for them. And then we'll close up this one

0:10:37.400 --> 0:10:39.240
<v Speaker 1>Nick had asked, do you think we'll play more pressed

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:41.360
<v Speaker 1>man this week against the Rams? Cooper Cup has been

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:44.679
<v Speaker 1>killing teams with the short passing game. Well, I mean

0:10:44.720 --> 0:10:46.959
<v Speaker 1>I always think they answer this question is Todd Bowl,

0:10:47.040 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>will mix it up? Will we play more pressed man?

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.600
<v Speaker 1>It does seem like a good idea, especially because you've

0:10:51.600 --> 0:10:53.040
<v Speaker 1>got a couple of guys that are good at that,

0:10:53.080 --> 0:10:57.120
<v Speaker 1>particularly Carlton davis Um. But yeah, last year the Rams

0:10:57.120 --> 0:10:59.600
<v Speaker 1>beat us with a lot of you know, they're they're

0:10:59.600 --> 0:11:02.560
<v Speaker 1>good at scheming guys open in the short and intermediate

0:11:02.600 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 1>range and letting them run with the ball, and they

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>could still do that. But the difference this year is

0:11:06.520 --> 0:11:08.800
<v Speaker 1>they're throwing the ball downfield. I mean really, they're they're

0:11:08.840 --> 0:11:12.680
<v Speaker 1>throws on passes. Their their success on passes that travel

0:11:12.720 --> 0:11:15.920
<v Speaker 1>more than twenty yards in the air downfield has been

0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.360
<v Speaker 1>really good for the first two games. Bathing Stafford is

0:11:18.360 --> 0:11:20.680
<v Speaker 1>something like a one forty nine passer writing on those

0:11:20.720 --> 0:11:23.199
<v Speaker 1>types of throws. That wasn't something they had in their

0:11:23.240 --> 0:11:25.840
<v Speaker 1>game last year and two years ago when we faced them,

0:11:25.960 --> 0:11:28.480
<v Speaker 1>and they still racked up tons of yards and points

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:31.280
<v Speaker 1>on us. So it's a huge challenge. Will we play

0:11:31.400 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>more pressed man, that seems like im possibly a good idea.

0:11:34.120 --> 0:11:35.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. We'll have to wait to see though,

0:11:35.559 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>But overall, I think Todd Bowls will mix it up

0:11:37.679 --> 0:11:39.839
<v Speaker 1>and try to keep him guessing. All right, well, that's

0:11:39.840 --> 0:11:42.400
<v Speaker 1>gonna do it for us on this edition of Buccaneers

0:11:42.400 --> 0:11:45.520
<v Speaker 1>Insider Live presented by Miller Lyte. Thanks for those amazing questions.

0:11:45.760 --> 0:11:47.640
<v Speaker 1>We'll be back here next week, so we'll see you

0:11:47.679 --> 0:11:47.839
<v Speaker 1>then
