WEBVTT - Which Players Could Make The Pro Bowl? | Bucs Insider

0:00:05.240 --> 0:00:10.240
<v Speaker 1>Good morning everybody. Happy Wednesday, Happy Victory Wednesday. Casey Phillips,

0:00:10.240 --> 0:00:12.079
<v Speaker 1>youre a senior writer and editor, Scott Smith. It is

0:00:12.119 --> 0:00:15.560
<v Speaker 1>time for Buccaneers Insider Live, presented by Miller Lte. This

0:00:15.640 --> 0:00:18.319
<v Speaker 1>is where we answer all of your questions. So if

0:00:18.320 --> 0:00:20.279
<v Speaker 1>you're not already watching on Facebook, you can head on

0:00:20.360 --> 0:00:23.280
<v Speaker 1>over there and you leave a comment in the comment

0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:26.160
<v Speaker 1>section underneath the live video. We love hearing your questions.

0:00:26.160 --> 0:00:28.000
<v Speaker 1>We love knowing which you want us to talk about

0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:30.280
<v Speaker 1>as we give people a chance to do that. Um.

0:00:30.320 --> 0:00:32.720
<v Speaker 1>A few different things we wanted to chat with early on,

0:00:32.880 --> 0:00:36.839
<v Speaker 1>especially Pro Bowl voting is open, which is we want

0:00:36.840 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>to still get people excited about this. We know there's

0:00:38.840 --> 0:00:41.360
<v Speaker 1>no game, but that does not change the honor. That

0:00:41.400 --> 0:00:44.240
<v Speaker 1>does not change that we want our Buccaneers recognized. So

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.720
<v Speaker 1>I wanted to hear from you who you feel like

0:00:46.760 --> 0:00:49.400
<v Speaker 1>has a legitimate chance. Um and and I mean, hey,

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to remind everybody to go vote for

0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.400
<v Speaker 1>our Buccaneers. But for you, how many do you think

0:00:53.440 --> 0:00:55.720
<v Speaker 1>we could reasonably have? Who do you think deserves it?

0:00:55.760 --> 0:00:57.360
<v Speaker 1>How do you think it will shake out? You know,

0:00:57.480 --> 0:01:00.600
<v Speaker 1>all of that stuff. Yeah, Actually, the fact that there's

0:01:00.600 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>no game probably makes us a bigger honor because you're

0:01:03.560 --> 0:01:05.400
<v Speaker 1>not gonna have all the replacements, and you're gonna have

0:01:05.720 --> 0:01:08.279
<v Speaker 1>one roster that's I don't know, maybe forty five players

0:01:08.319 --> 0:01:12.840
<v Speaker 1>instead of burgeoning up like eight players with all the replacements. Uh,

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:15.800
<v Speaker 1>there's a lot of candidates for the Buccaneers. I think

0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:19.320
<v Speaker 1>we'd be uh being overly aggressive. We thought all these

0:01:19.319 --> 0:01:21.440
<v Speaker 1>guys could make it. But I mean, the guy that

0:01:21.600 --> 0:01:23.440
<v Speaker 1>the hot name right now because of the game he

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.360
<v Speaker 1>just had as Ronald Jones, and he is second in

0:01:25.400 --> 0:01:29.200
<v Speaker 1>the conference in rushing um. Obviously he's got the numbers.

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.480
<v Speaker 1>He's only behind Dalvin Cook. So if you just go

0:01:31.560 --> 0:01:34.559
<v Speaker 1>by the rushing numbers, he's second, and he's well ahead

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:36.600
<v Speaker 1>of the next couple of guys. The next guy is

0:01:36.640 --> 0:01:39.440
<v Speaker 1>Kenyan Drake is at more than a hundred yards behind him.

0:01:39.720 --> 0:01:41.959
<v Speaker 1>The problem, of course, you have some guys with names

0:01:42.280 --> 0:01:44.160
<v Speaker 1>that don't have the same stats at the moment, like

0:01:44.200 --> 0:01:46.920
<v Speaker 1>Aaron Jones and Ezekiel Elliott. And you know how name

0:01:46.920 --> 0:01:49.040
<v Speaker 1>recognition goes into Pro Bowl voting, So we'll see how

0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:51.600
<v Speaker 1>that goes. But there's a bunch of others. Obviously, we're

0:01:51.600 --> 0:01:54.440
<v Speaker 1>hoping that all the attention this team is getting, will

0:01:54.440 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>get Lavonte David another Pro Bowl because he probably should

0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.200
<v Speaker 1>have about five of them by now. Um, you know,

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:01.560
<v Speaker 1>a little note here, Can I make a side note

0:02:01.600 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>on Lavante David always, especially when it's about Lavonte and

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:05.920
<v Speaker 1>bragging on him. We can have all the sad notes

0:02:05.960 --> 0:02:09.480
<v Speaker 1>we want. Well, this is more of a big picture thing. Um,

0:02:09.680 --> 0:02:12.200
<v Speaker 1>Lavante in his next game, this game, he'll play in

0:02:12.200 --> 0:02:14.919
<v Speaker 1>his hundred thirty second game all his Buccaneers and that's

0:02:14.919 --> 0:02:17.240
<v Speaker 1>gonna tie him with Richard Wood for the tenth most

0:02:17.240 --> 0:02:20.080
<v Speaker 1>starts into I mean games played in team history. He's

0:02:20.080 --> 0:02:23.800
<v Speaker 1>already seventh and starts. Every other player on that list

0:02:24.720 --> 0:02:27.640
<v Speaker 1>their careers started before the turn of the millennium. So

0:02:27.680 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>in other words, you know, it's mostly guys from the

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.160
<v Speaker 1>Super Bowl era, you know, Derrek Brooks, Shelton, Cores, warn Sap,

0:02:32.200 --> 0:02:35.920
<v Speaker 1>all those guys. In other words, since two thousand or

0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.600
<v Speaker 1>since the Super Bowl era, Lavante David is basically the

0:02:38.680 --> 0:02:41.960
<v Speaker 1>quintessential buccaneer. He's the Buck and he's the face of

0:02:41.960 --> 0:02:45.360
<v Speaker 1>this franchise since the turn of the century. I just think,

0:02:45.960 --> 0:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>you know, I think we need to recognize how great

0:02:48.120 --> 0:02:50.400
<v Speaker 1>his career has been. Yeah, that's an incredible point. And

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>I think it's so true that his consistency, his longevity,

0:02:54.720 --> 0:02:58.120
<v Speaker 1>it's I mean, it's unbelievable. And I actually had Mike Calldwell,

0:02:58.160 --> 0:03:00.680
<v Speaker 1>the inside linebackers coach, on my radio show this week,

0:03:01.120 --> 0:03:04.200
<v Speaker 1>and I asked him, I said, you know, sometimes I

0:03:04.240 --> 0:03:06.880
<v Speaker 1>think we even forget how long Lavante has been playing

0:03:07.639 --> 0:03:09.679
<v Speaker 1>because he still just plays at such a high level.

0:03:09.720 --> 0:03:11.799
<v Speaker 1>You never hear anyone saying that, like, oh is he

0:03:11.880 --> 0:03:13.880
<v Speaker 1>starting to fall off, or oh is he you know,

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 1>because of his age or how long, Like you just

0:03:15.639 --> 0:03:18.320
<v Speaker 1>don't hear the conversations. And I asked him, I said,

0:03:18.320 --> 0:03:20.400
<v Speaker 1>do you still believe that Lavante is at his peak?

0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:24.880
<v Speaker 1>And he said, yeah, absolutely, is unbelievable. He's the He's

0:03:24.919 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 1>the new Grande Barber in terms of just playing forever

0:03:27.480 --> 0:03:29.560
<v Speaker 1>and playing at a high level the entire time. Getting

0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.160
<v Speaker 1>back to the Pro Bowl, guys, before we take questions,

0:03:32.400 --> 0:03:34.519
<v Speaker 1>Alan mar Pett was gaining a lot of buzz. Missing

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.560
<v Speaker 1>some time isn't gonna help him, but hopefully he'll be

0:03:36.600 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 1>back soon, maybe Ryan Jensen to Devin White, Carlton Davis

0:03:40.960 --> 0:03:43.440
<v Speaker 1>has kind of emerged one of the NFL's best cornerbacks.

0:03:43.440 --> 0:03:46.440
<v Speaker 1>You just hope he's got enough attention. J PP is

0:03:46.440 --> 0:03:48.200
<v Speaker 1>a good name, and he's he's up there among the

0:03:48.200 --> 0:03:50.680
<v Speaker 1>sack leaders. And then actually you pointed this out before

0:03:50.720 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 1>we went on here, we probably should consider Ryan Sucker.

0:03:53.560 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>He does lead the NFL and scoring and he's made

0:03:57.240 --> 0:04:01.120
<v Speaker 1>sixteen field goals in a row. Uh, and he's missed

0:04:01.120 --> 0:04:03.480
<v Speaker 1>only twice I think, all year, So he's got to

0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:05.560
<v Speaker 1>be in the conversation as well. Yeah, that's a great point.

0:04:05.560 --> 0:04:08.520
<v Speaker 1>And you brought up Ali Marpett for the Pro Bowl stuff.

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.280
<v Speaker 1>We had lots of people with Thomas and Derek and

0:04:11.360 --> 0:04:13.160
<v Speaker 1>Jake and a whole bunch of other people asking about

0:04:13.400 --> 0:04:15.520
<v Speaker 1>his status, what we know about him. And then I

0:04:15.520 --> 0:04:18.120
<v Speaker 1>also just wanted to hear how you felt the reorganized

0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.480
<v Speaker 1>offensive line did this last week. Yeah, you know, all

0:04:20.560 --> 0:04:22.320
<v Speaker 1>last week I think we were kind of hoping and

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>that Ali was gonna be able to come back for

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:26.560
<v Speaker 1>this game, and and then on Saturday, he just they

0:04:26.600 --> 0:04:29.080
<v Speaker 1>couldn't clear him out of the concussion protocol, so he

0:04:29.160 --> 0:04:31.240
<v Speaker 1>remained in it to start the week. And one of

0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:32.600
<v Speaker 1>the things, one of the steps you have to do

0:04:32.800 --> 0:04:34.920
<v Speaker 1>to get out of that is to have a full

0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.080
<v Speaker 1>practice and he hasn't done that yet, so I don't

0:04:38.120 --> 0:04:40.440
<v Speaker 1>think at the start of the week they believe he

0:04:40.480 --> 0:04:44.000
<v Speaker 1>will be practicing fully. Coach Arean said something about him

0:04:44.000 --> 0:04:46.440
<v Speaker 1>having some individual workouts on the side of his own.

0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:48.840
<v Speaker 1>So there's still some progress to me may and he

0:04:48.880 --> 0:04:51.120
<v Speaker 1>still has to come out of that concussion protocol. Hopefully

0:04:51.120 --> 0:04:52.840
<v Speaker 1>that it happens by the end of the week. If not,

0:04:52.920 --> 0:04:56.200
<v Speaker 1>at least we found a combination that works with Ryan

0:04:56.240 --> 0:04:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Jensen moving and guard and a Q Shipley stepping in

0:04:58.640 --> 0:05:01.520
<v Speaker 1>the center. Both of those guys played very well obviously,

0:05:01.560 --> 0:05:04.799
<v Speaker 1>you can tell that just by the numbers UM against Carolina,

0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:06.839
<v Speaker 1>so they'd have their hands a little bit more full

0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:08.920
<v Speaker 1>this week with the Rams and Aaron Donald and one

0:05:08.920 --> 0:05:11.080
<v Speaker 1>of the best defenses in the league. But um, it

0:05:11.120 --> 0:05:12.920
<v Speaker 1>does give you a little bit of confidence if if

0:05:12.960 --> 0:05:15.520
<v Speaker 1>Vali can't play, Yeah, you brought up one of the

0:05:15.560 --> 0:05:18.240
<v Speaker 1>best defenses in the league. Um. Daniel had asked, do

0:05:18.279 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 1>you think that this could be one of those games

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:21.640
<v Speaker 1>it's more of a shootout, more of a defensive battle.

0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.360
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that the vibe of this next

0:05:23.400 --> 0:05:25.480
<v Speaker 1>game will be? Yeah? The fun thing about this Monday

0:05:25.520 --> 0:05:28.240
<v Speaker 1>night against Rams is while it's been a while. These

0:05:28.240 --> 0:05:31.080
<v Speaker 1>two teams have a really interesting Monday night football history.

0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Not to mention playoff history, but um yeah, we all

0:05:34.360 --> 0:05:38.320
<v Speaker 1>remember that two thousand shootout with the Rams late in

0:05:38.360 --> 0:05:41.760
<v Speaker 1>the in two thousand. Uh here at Raymond James Stadium.

0:05:41.760 --> 0:05:43.880
<v Speaker 1>It was thirty eight thirty five or Gune scored at

0:05:43.880 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the end. Incredible plays on both sides. Would this one

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 1>be like this? I mean, our offense has obviously shown

0:05:49.960 --> 0:05:53.560
<v Speaker 1>the ability to be explosive. The Rams have moved the

0:05:53.560 --> 0:05:56.120
<v Speaker 1>ball well, but aren't really among the league's leaders and scoring.

0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:58.039
<v Speaker 1>I think they would like this to be more of

0:05:58.040 --> 0:06:01.160
<v Speaker 1>a slug fest because their defense is just been fantastic.

0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:05.080
<v Speaker 1>Um there, there's their top five in just about every

0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:08.080
<v Speaker 1>category you can think of. Um and they're there top.

0:06:08.120 --> 0:06:10.520
<v Speaker 1>They're the second leaders in terms of yards. The Buccaneers

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:13.400
<v Speaker 1>are third and uh I think their second in points

0:06:13.400 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>allowed as well. So they're they've been tough. And and

0:06:16.880 --> 0:06:18.880
<v Speaker 1>here's one thing you gotta keep in mind, the Buccaneers,

0:06:19.320 --> 0:06:21.600
<v Speaker 1>they're they're doing some things different to try to get

0:06:21.640 --> 0:06:24.080
<v Speaker 1>a fast start on Monday Night, because that's been one

0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>of the problems in these primetime games is starting slowly

0:06:27.560 --> 0:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>and they really can't afford to fall behind in this

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:33.159
<v Speaker 1>game because the Rams defense in the second half, second

0:06:33.200 --> 0:06:36.040
<v Speaker 1>halves of games this year has been incredible. They've only

0:06:36.040 --> 0:06:39.320
<v Speaker 1>allowed thirty six points in the second half of nine games.

0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.720
<v Speaker 1>That's four points a game. The next closest team is

0:06:41.720 --> 0:06:44.000
<v Speaker 1>allowed seventy and the Bucks are third by the way

0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:47.000
<v Speaker 1>on that list at seventy nine. So, uh, it's gonna

0:06:47.040 --> 0:06:50.839
<v Speaker 1>be hard to mount a comeback if you fall behind early. Yeah.

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.840
<v Speaker 1>And I think I saw staff that Sean McVeigh has

0:06:52.920 --> 0:06:57.159
<v Speaker 1>never lost a game when winning by I don't remember

0:06:57.160 --> 0:06:58.920
<v Speaker 1>if it was just winning at half or winning by

0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.280
<v Speaker 1>ten at half, but I think it was just winning

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:03.000
<v Speaker 1>at half. That he hasn't lost a game. I may

0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.880
<v Speaker 1>be wrong. I have to go yeah, they've They've actually

0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:10.040
<v Speaker 1>lost one game that they were leading at half this year. Well,

0:07:10.080 --> 0:07:11.840
<v Speaker 1>you would definitely not want to be done by ten

0:07:11.920 --> 0:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>at halftime, that's for sure. Yeah, that is for sure. Um.

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:17.960
<v Speaker 1>Jermaine asked, you see us resigning Chris Godwin this year

0:07:18.120 --> 0:07:22.200
<v Speaker 1>during the off season. Well, that's the goal. Um. I

0:07:22.520 --> 0:07:25.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know how you would let a player of that

0:07:25.200 --> 0:07:29.600
<v Speaker 1>caliber get away, except that sometimes it's just impossible to

0:07:29.600 --> 0:07:32.680
<v Speaker 1>sign everybody you want to keep um, I've got my

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.720
<v Speaker 1>fingers crossed. I don't think it's necessarily a percent certainty. Uh,

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it might depend on what the market is, and we

0:07:38.760 --> 0:07:40.720
<v Speaker 1>all don't know what that's going to be like from

0:07:40.720 --> 0:07:43.120
<v Speaker 1>a league wide perspective next year with the possibility of

0:07:43.600 --> 0:07:48.160
<v Speaker 1>lower salary caps. Uh. So it's a complicated situation. But

0:07:48.520 --> 0:07:51.120
<v Speaker 1>when you when you look at he misses a couple

0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:52.679
<v Speaker 1>of games, and then as soon as he comes back,

0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.160
<v Speaker 1>he's the guy playing almost every snap both of the

0:07:55.200 --> 0:07:57.200
<v Speaker 1>games since he's been back, He's played more snaps than

0:07:57.240 --> 0:08:00.320
<v Speaker 1>any other receiver. He plays almost all of them every game.

0:08:00.720 --> 0:08:02.920
<v Speaker 1>And it's because he's involved in everything that you do,

0:08:03.040 --> 0:08:05.960
<v Speaker 1>including to a big extent run blocking. He does a

0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:08.400
<v Speaker 1>lot of that, and not just oh he's out there

0:08:08.440 --> 0:08:11.560
<v Speaker 1>on the side trying to out there wide, you know,

0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:14.520
<v Speaker 1>playing push with with the wide receiver. They put him,

0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:18.320
<v Speaker 1>pull him in tight and give him specific blocking assignments,

0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.600
<v Speaker 1>sometimes even as a lead blocker through the whole. So uh.

0:08:21.640 --> 0:08:25.040
<v Speaker 1>And he's just he's so reliable in third downs. He

0:08:25.160 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 1>runs such great routes. I mean he's still catch the

0:08:27.160 --> 0:08:29.920
<v Speaker 1>ball despite having a splint on a broken finger. He's

0:08:29.960 --> 0:08:31.600
<v Speaker 1>such a great player that you don't want to see

0:08:31.640 --> 0:08:34.720
<v Speaker 1>him get away. We had a question about the Bucks

0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:36.920
<v Speaker 1>defense in recent games, um seeming to play, you know,

0:08:36.960 --> 0:08:39.040
<v Speaker 1>a little bit more zone and maybe a little bit

0:08:39.080 --> 0:08:40.640
<v Speaker 1>more off of some of the wide receivers, and they

0:08:40.679 --> 0:08:43.160
<v Speaker 1>wanted to hear, Um, what you think about why that

0:08:43.280 --> 0:08:45.199
<v Speaker 1>was and will that be a new thing continued or

0:08:45.280 --> 0:08:47.760
<v Speaker 1>was that more about the opponents that they were playing

0:08:48.200 --> 0:08:51.280
<v Speaker 1>Some of that stuff when they're playing off is because

0:08:51.960 --> 0:08:55.319
<v Speaker 1>it is a zone, but it's also they're they're getting

0:08:55.320 --> 0:08:58.920
<v Speaker 1>ready to disguise something. And I would I would guide

0:08:58.920 --> 0:09:02.560
<v Speaker 1>you two on keneers dot com. Randi Barber's film session

0:09:02.600 --> 0:09:05.080
<v Speaker 1>this week where he breaks down the play where Jason

0:09:05.120 --> 0:09:09.959
<v Speaker 1>Pierre Paul intercepted the past and the movement that Todd

0:09:09.960 --> 0:09:13.679
<v Speaker 1>Bowl's device between these players is incredible and it it

0:09:13.920 --> 0:09:16.000
<v Speaker 1>starts out looking like one thing and at the end

0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:19.200
<v Speaker 1>it's actually something completely different that Teddy Bridgewater didn't expect.

0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:22.800
<v Speaker 1>And so you've got by the end of it, Carlton

0:09:22.880 --> 0:09:25.760
<v Speaker 1>Davis is a safety, Jamal Dean is a is an

0:09:25.840 --> 0:09:28.920
<v Speaker 1>end shack. Barrett is a defensive tackle. Jason Pierre Paul

0:09:29.000 --> 0:09:32.880
<v Speaker 1>is a scene dropping linebacker. I mean you're defying expectations

0:09:33.000 --> 0:09:35.720
<v Speaker 1>by moving these guys around and disguising what you're gonna

0:09:35.760 --> 0:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>do and turning it into something else. And and in

0:09:37.480 --> 0:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>some cases you have to be a little bit off

0:09:39.120 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 1>to make the Carlton Davis has to be playing pretty

0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.920
<v Speaker 1>far off to slide from corner into a safety position.

0:09:45.000 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think if there's any concern about that, it

0:09:48.240 --> 0:09:51.760
<v Speaker 1>comes from the Saints game, where absolutely nothing went right

0:09:51.800 --> 0:09:53.640
<v Speaker 1>and it did look like the defense was being more

0:09:53.640 --> 0:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>passive than usual. But you know, we held the Saints,

0:09:57.040 --> 0:09:59.120
<v Speaker 1>and I think Teddy Bridgewater is a good quarterback. We

0:09:59.200 --> 0:10:01.040
<v Speaker 1>held the Saints to a or an eighty seven yards,

0:10:01.040 --> 0:10:05.120
<v Speaker 1>So a lot of times it's not it's not a

0:10:05.200 --> 0:10:07.400
<v Speaker 1>matter of how passive or aggressive they're being, it's just

0:10:07.440 --> 0:10:09.959
<v Speaker 1>how well they're they're executing it. And then I saw

0:10:09.960 --> 0:10:11.640
<v Speaker 1>a few different people brought up the fact that we

0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:13.960
<v Speaker 1>have another primetime game night game and that has not

0:10:14.679 --> 0:10:17.000
<v Speaker 1>gone as well as some of the other games this season.

0:10:17.040 --> 0:10:19.240
<v Speaker 1>And I know that Bruce has said that he's making

0:10:19.240 --> 0:10:20.960
<v Speaker 1>a few changes this week to try to get the

0:10:20.960 --> 0:10:23.200
<v Speaker 1>guys prepared. So um, I wanted to hear you know

0:10:23.240 --> 0:10:25.240
<v Speaker 1>what those are and what you think of what they

0:10:25.320 --> 0:10:28.559
<v Speaker 1>might do for the team's readiness on Monday night. Well,

0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:30.280
<v Speaker 1>the big changes that they're going to practice in the

0:10:30.320 --> 0:10:34.480
<v Speaker 1>evening on Friday and Saturday, starting at seven thirty, which

0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.320
<v Speaker 1>is pretty close to what the actual kickoff time on

0:10:36.320 --> 0:10:39.720
<v Speaker 1>Monday night will be. And fortunately they can do that

0:10:39.760 --> 0:10:42.680
<v Speaker 1>because we have the indoor facility with the lights. Wouldn't

0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:45.440
<v Speaker 1>have been possible before then because those fields back there

0:10:45.440 --> 0:10:48.480
<v Speaker 1>are not lit. Um. That's the big change, and I

0:10:48.520 --> 0:10:50.840
<v Speaker 1>think that's a coach just trying to get his players

0:10:50.880 --> 0:10:55.680
<v Speaker 1>acclimated to a schedule and getting used to getting their

0:10:55.800 --> 0:10:58.400
<v Speaker 1>energy up at the right moment, you know, instead of

0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>one o'clock, it's in the evening. It's worth a try.

0:11:02.000 --> 0:11:03.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't see really how it could hurt, and it

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:05.920
<v Speaker 1>certainly could help. They're also going to do more, he

0:11:05.960 --> 0:11:09.520
<v Speaker 1>said on Monday. Monday is the day. Monday night games

0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:11.480
<v Speaker 1>are the ones that really mess with the players because

0:11:11.559 --> 0:11:13.720
<v Speaker 1>on Sunday they can watch football all day and on

0:11:13.760 --> 0:11:16.760
<v Speaker 1>Thursday night. Usually on Thursday you're still trying to get

0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:19.199
<v Speaker 1>prepared because the week is so short, but on Monday

0:11:19.600 --> 0:11:22.200
<v Speaker 1>you just sit around all day, maybe you take a nap, whatever.

0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:24.840
<v Speaker 1>So he said they're gonna do more on Monday morning,

0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.079
<v Speaker 1>probably just to keep the players more you know, involved

0:11:28.480 --> 0:11:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and not just sitting around all day. All right, Well,

0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:32.280
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna do it for us on this edition of

0:11:32.320 --> 0:11:34.720
<v Speaker 1>Buccaneers INSIDEUR Live presented by Miller Lte. Thanks for all

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.400
<v Speaker 1>of your amazing questions. Enjoy the game Monday night, and

0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:41.480
<v Speaker 1>we'll see you back here on Wednesday
