WEBVTT - Breaking Down the Bucs New Additions | Bucs Insider

0:00:11.280 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, everybody. It's time for Buccaneers Insider Live, presented

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.920
<v Speaker 1>by Miller like Casey Phillips and Scott Smith. Here, it's

0:00:18.960 --> 0:00:21.200
<v Speaker 1>been about a week since our last time we got

0:00:21.239 --> 0:00:23.360
<v Speaker 1>to go live with everybody. We had been doing it

0:00:23.400 --> 0:00:25.960
<v Speaker 1>for several weeks out there at camp. Now we're back

0:00:26.000 --> 0:00:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to our sort of normal insider format. And man, since

0:00:29.000 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 1>that last time we talked, there has been a lot

0:00:31.960 --> 0:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>that has happened, a lot to go over. We have

0:00:35.440 --> 0:00:37.480
<v Speaker 1>cut down the roster to fifty three, we have built

0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a practice squad, we have signed some new interesting additions.

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:43.280
<v Speaker 1>So I don't even know where to start. There's so

0:00:43.280 --> 0:00:45.560
<v Speaker 1>many different options. But while we give you guys a

0:00:45.640 --> 0:00:48.519
<v Speaker 1>chance to submit your questions on the Facebook page, we're

0:00:48.520 --> 0:00:50.920
<v Speaker 1>gonna take some of those later on. As we start

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.040
<v Speaker 1>talking about some of these developments over the last week,

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.200
<v Speaker 1>why don't we just go first of all with the

0:00:55.280 --> 0:00:57.520
<v Speaker 1>cutdowns and who made the fifty three and some of

0:00:57.520 --> 0:01:00.480
<v Speaker 1>your initial reactions to that. Well, there in a ton

0:01:00.480 --> 0:01:03.840
<v Speaker 1>of surprises. I mean since last Tuesday, I guess you

0:01:03.840 --> 0:01:06.680
<v Speaker 1>could say there were some surprising developments. We have another

0:01:06.760 --> 0:01:10.080
<v Speaker 1>quarterback in the house that people would recognize, and Josh

0:01:10.200 --> 0:01:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Rosen on the practice squad. We have enough. He was

0:01:12.480 --> 0:01:15.039
<v Speaker 1>the tenth overall pick in two thousand eighteen. We have

0:01:15.080 --> 0:01:17.559
<v Speaker 1>another running back that people would recognize in that room,

0:01:17.560 --> 0:01:19.640
<v Speaker 1>and Leonard four Nette, he was the fourth overall pick

0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.080
<v Speaker 1>in two thousand seventeen. We have a new kicker. In fact,

0:01:23.120 --> 0:01:25.120
<v Speaker 1>we have two new kickers if you count the practice squad,

0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:28.560
<v Speaker 1>neither of whom were here when we last spoke. I

0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:31.080
<v Speaker 1>guess actually Ryan suck Up was just arriving last time

0:01:31.160 --> 0:01:34.560
<v Speaker 1>we talked. He got the job over Matt gay Uh,

0:01:34.560 --> 0:01:37.800
<v Speaker 1>and then we brought in Greg Joseph, who actually, coincidentally,

0:01:38.000 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 1>last year, Ryan suck Up, after he'd never missed a

0:01:41.600 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 1>game before and over four years or five previous years

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:48.280
<v Speaker 1>in Tennessee, was kicking at about which is very very good,

0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.559
<v Speaker 1>even at a stretch where he made an NFL record

0:01:50.600 --> 0:01:53.960
<v Speaker 1>fifty six straight kicks from inside the fifty, which is

0:01:53.960 --> 0:01:57.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty amazing field goals. But last year he started out

0:01:57.840 --> 0:01:59.520
<v Speaker 1>on injury reserve of the knee issue they tried to

0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:01.920
<v Speaker 1>bring back because they wasn't going well with their other

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.160
<v Speaker 1>kickers in Tennessee, and um, he obviously wasn't ready to

0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 1>go yet only made one of six, and so they

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:08.320
<v Speaker 1>had to put him back on I R and they

0:02:08.360 --> 0:02:11.800
<v Speaker 1>brought in Greg Joseph, who did well for them. He

0:02:12.320 --> 0:02:15.960
<v Speaker 1>amazingly over five games, including the postseason, he had eighteen

0:02:15.960 --> 0:02:19.239
<v Speaker 1>extra point attempts in one field goal, which is really

0:02:19.280 --> 0:02:21.840
<v Speaker 1>weird for a five game stretch, but they were The

0:02:21.880 --> 0:02:24.160
<v Speaker 1>Tennessee office was just going ballistic at that time with

0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:27.040
<v Speaker 1>Derrick Henry and they're scoring touchdowns and not needing field goals.

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>But he made all of them. So it's obviously a

0:02:29.680 --> 0:02:32.040
<v Speaker 1>different sort of year. You've got to be prepared. So

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.120
<v Speaker 1>having kickers on your practice squad is not something you're

0:02:34.200 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>used to, but uh, it's a thing I think most

0:02:37.200 --> 0:02:40.079
<v Speaker 1>teams were doing this year, Uh, putting another kicker on

0:02:40.120 --> 0:02:41.919
<v Speaker 1>the practice squad in case something would have happened late

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 1>in the week, Especially since COVID's a possibility, you want

0:02:45.600 --> 0:02:47.720
<v Speaker 1>to have another kicker ready to go. So it's an

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:50.800
<v Speaker 1>unusual year. But as for the cuts themselves, that weren't

0:02:50.840 --> 0:02:53.880
<v Speaker 1>a ton of surprises. Okay, And then we had a

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.000
<v Speaker 1>question and we also released a depth chart. We didn't

0:02:56.000 --> 0:02:57.480
<v Speaker 1>even bring that up. Of all the things that have

0:02:57.520 --> 0:03:00.960
<v Speaker 1>happened and related to that, East I how good does

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it mean Winfield is that he's already been listed as

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.720
<v Speaker 1>a starter at this Yeah, that's that's an interesting thing.

0:03:06.760 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 1>And um, it wasn't clear during during the entire camp

0:03:11.200 --> 0:03:13.920
<v Speaker 1>that he would be starting. Mike Edwards was getting a

0:03:13.919 --> 0:03:16.520
<v Speaker 1>lot of action as the first next to Jordan Whitehead

0:03:16.560 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 1>on the first team, and uh, you kind of got

0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>the feeling that they loved Winfield but maybe it would

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.840
<v Speaker 1>be eased in, but I guess not. And uh, coach yesterday,

0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.239
<v Speaker 1>Coach Arean said about it is the issue is he's

0:03:28.280 --> 0:03:30.799
<v Speaker 1>just making plays every day. He's always around the football,

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:34.240
<v Speaker 1>And I think what it is is they just they

0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:36.040
<v Speaker 1>just can't wait to get this kid on the field.

0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.200
<v Speaker 1>They didn't want to delay it. I still think you're

0:03:39.200 --> 0:03:42.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna see more than two safeties in action in most weeks.

0:03:42.800 --> 0:03:46.200
<v Speaker 1>There'll be some packages that used three of them at once, potentially,

0:03:46.280 --> 0:03:49.680
<v Speaker 1>especially because Winfield has cross trained and Kim played in

0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.600
<v Speaker 1>the slot corner as well, which is pretty amazing. And obviously, um,

0:03:53.760 --> 0:03:55.400
<v Speaker 1>we had some technical difficulties and got off to a

0:03:55.440 --> 0:03:57.520
<v Speaker 1>little bit of a slow start here today. And what

0:03:57.560 --> 0:03:59.760
<v Speaker 1>I was doing in that time when we were waiting

0:04:00.240 --> 0:04:04.120
<v Speaker 1>was I was researching how often our first and second

0:04:04.120 --> 0:04:06.720
<v Speaker 1>picks in the draft were in the starting lineup on

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.360
<v Speaker 1>opening day, which is if if the depth chart is fouled,

0:04:10.400 --> 0:04:12.320
<v Speaker 1>you never know. It hasn't happened yet. Maybe they started

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:14.080
<v Speaker 1>a different package or something. But if the depth chart

0:04:14.120 --> 0:04:16.600
<v Speaker 1>is fouled, now first round pick Tristan Wars Will start

0:04:16.640 --> 0:04:20.279
<v Speaker 1>a right tackle and Antoine Winfield Jr. Will Start at safety.

0:04:20.440 --> 0:04:22.880
<v Speaker 1>And how often do you think that that happens, Casey,

0:04:22.960 --> 0:04:25.000
<v Speaker 1>Is that a common thing or not? I mean, I'm

0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:28.760
<v Speaker 1>gonna guess probably not super common. Yeah, I probably. I

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.039
<v Speaker 1>probably wouldn't have brought it up it was common if

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:33.360
<v Speaker 1>it was like this happens every year, I tell you

0:04:33.400 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>what said anything, So this pesky show started and I

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>didn't get to finish from back through nineteen seventy six,

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:42.719
<v Speaker 1>But from now through back to one, it's only happened

0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.160
<v Speaker 1>four other times. Um. The most the one that most

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.080
<v Speaker 1>Bucks fans of current vintage would remember is in two

0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:52.440
<v Speaker 1>thousand fifteen, used the first round pick on Jameis Winston

0:04:52.520 --> 0:04:54.640
<v Speaker 1>and the second on Diamond Smith. And in fact, the

0:04:54.720 --> 0:04:56.479
<v Speaker 1>next pick was Alan mar Pett and the next pick

0:04:56.600 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>was Kwon Alexander. That's the only time in Team Mystery

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:02.360
<v Speaker 1>unless the before in nineteen eighty that all of your

0:05:02.400 --> 0:05:04.080
<v Speaker 1>first four guys were all on the starting lineup on

0:05:04.120 --> 0:05:06.400
<v Speaker 1>opening day, which was a pretty amazing draft. And I

0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:08.280
<v Speaker 1>know you can look at this in two different ways.

0:05:08.320 --> 0:05:09.760
<v Speaker 1>If if you've got a lot of rookie starting, that

0:05:09.839 --> 0:05:14.720
<v Speaker 1>could mean your roster was talent deficient and they're starting

0:05:14.720 --> 0:05:16.799
<v Speaker 1>by default. But I don't think anybody thinks that about

0:05:16.800 --> 0:05:19.000
<v Speaker 1>this roster, and that certainly wasn't the case with that

0:05:19.040 --> 0:05:21.400
<v Speaker 1>two thousand fifteen group. Those are all ended up being

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.000
<v Speaker 1>very productive players, and Donovan and Ali are still with us,

0:05:25.279 --> 0:05:27.120
<v Speaker 1>and uh, you know, Kwan got the big deal, and

0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.200
<v Speaker 1>of course James had five years as a starter, so

0:05:30.880 --> 0:05:33.680
<v Speaker 1>uh here so um. It doesn't happen very often. So

0:05:33.720 --> 0:05:37.000
<v Speaker 1>it's pretty interesting, and it's especially unusual given that this

0:05:37.040 --> 0:05:38.800
<v Speaker 1>was the year what everybody thought rookies would have a

0:05:38.839 --> 0:05:42.200
<v Speaker 1>hard time make getting into the lineup early because they

0:05:42.200 --> 0:05:44.760
<v Speaker 1>didn't have an offseason, they didn't have preseason games. It's

0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:47.200
<v Speaker 1>a tougher landscape than ever before for rookies. That I

0:05:47.200 --> 0:05:50.640
<v Speaker 1>think that just tells you how impressive Tristan and Antoine

0:05:50.640 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 1>were over the last month or so. That's a great point. Um,

0:05:53.960 --> 0:05:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Matt asked, has Leonard Fournette been on the field practicing yet? Yeah,

0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.919
<v Speaker 1>he was yesterday. It was his first practice, so you know,

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.719
<v Speaker 1>he had to go through the COVID thing. That's why

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:06.520
<v Speaker 1>it wasn't official announce until Sunday and his first the

0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:10.279
<v Speaker 1>first practice after that was yesterday, um, which is five

0:06:10.360 --> 0:06:12.600
<v Speaker 1>days before the start of the regular season. So I

0:06:12.600 --> 0:06:14.400
<v Speaker 1>can understand if people don't think you'll have a big

0:06:14.720 --> 0:06:17.919
<v Speaker 1>role in the offense on Sunday in New Orleans, and

0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:20.760
<v Speaker 1>that's certainly possible. But Bruce Arians did say he would

0:06:20.800 --> 0:06:23.240
<v Speaker 1>have a solid role. I think it was a little

0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:25.919
<v Speaker 1>hint to how they might use him when he started

0:06:25.920 --> 0:06:28.040
<v Speaker 1>when Bruce Arians started talking about what makes him good

0:06:28.040 --> 0:06:30.840
<v Speaker 1>as a third down back because he's good in past protection,

0:06:31.160 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 1>he's got good hands, he knows what he's doing. He's

0:06:33.520 --> 0:06:36.640
<v Speaker 1>a big, big, fast guy. So if I were a

0:06:36.640 --> 0:06:39.800
<v Speaker 1>betting man, and honestly, I don't think anybody knows three

0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:41.839
<v Speaker 1>or four weeks from now how the carries are gonna

0:06:41.839 --> 0:06:44.400
<v Speaker 1>be distributed, because you've got to see how it works out.

0:06:44.640 --> 0:06:46.320
<v Speaker 1>But if I were a bettman, I would say that

0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:49.080
<v Speaker 1>this Sunday, Week one, Leonard four Nett will probably get

0:06:49.960 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 1>a little bit of time from Shady on third downs

0:06:53.080 --> 0:06:55.120
<v Speaker 1>and a little bit of time from Ronald Jones on

0:06:55.520 --> 0:06:58.120
<v Speaker 1>first and second downs, and just see how it goes. Yeah,

0:06:58.160 --> 0:07:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that's gonna be interesting. And I hoped sort of for

0:07:00.480 --> 0:07:02.280
<v Speaker 1>Leonard fourd AT's say, he gets at least some action,

0:07:02.320 --> 0:07:04.120
<v Speaker 1>because he talked about how excited he was to play

0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.719
<v Speaker 1>his hometown team at this time. But it's so hard

0:07:06.720 --> 0:07:08.640
<v Speaker 1>for us to think about this is like, oh, I've

0:07:08.640 --> 0:07:10.760
<v Speaker 1>never played the Saints before. When we played them all

0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 1>million time, it feels like, yeah, he's never played them

0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.040
<v Speaker 1>in his career and he's from there, so I thought

0:07:16.080 --> 0:07:18.240
<v Speaker 1>that was pretty cool for him. But he finally gets

0:07:18.280 --> 0:07:19.800
<v Speaker 1>you know, he gets sent to a new team and

0:07:20.160 --> 0:07:22.760
<v Speaker 1>very first opponent is his hometown team. That's kind of

0:07:22.760 --> 0:07:24.960
<v Speaker 1>a cool story. But Jacksonville, Jacksonville never played in New

0:07:25.080 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>Orleans in his three years. Huh, yeah, that's what That's

0:07:26.760 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 1>what he said in the Prescott. The Buccaneers have actually

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>played a game on l s u S campus, So

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:36.560
<v Speaker 1>we've played more games where Leonard Fournette played college than

0:07:36.600 --> 0:07:38.600
<v Speaker 1>for Neette has played in New Orleans. I don't think

0:07:38.600 --> 0:07:41.040
<v Speaker 1>that means anything. Yeah, but it's a fun fact, it

0:07:41.120 --> 0:07:44.920
<v Speaker 1>was after Hurricane Katrina had damaged the Super dumb That's interesting,

0:07:45.080 --> 0:07:47.760
<v Speaker 1>Randi Barber had three interceptions and we won the game. Well,

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:51.680
<v Speaker 1>then we should play them more often. Okay, let's see.

0:07:51.840 --> 0:07:54.720
<v Speaker 1>Devin asked, do you see Josh Rosen taking over the

0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:58.080
<v Speaker 1>QB three spot. I did think about that. I did

0:07:58.120 --> 0:08:03.080
<v Speaker 1>wonder that. Um the question is are you bringing him

0:08:03.080 --> 0:08:06.880
<v Speaker 1>in to gradually do that or do you want to

0:08:06.960 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>keep four quarterbacks? And there's certainly reason to believe you

0:08:09.680 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 1>just want to keep four quarterbacks because you, um, because

0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:16.520
<v Speaker 1>of the COVID thing. If if something happens and and

0:08:16.640 --> 0:08:18.640
<v Speaker 1>one guy has to go on the list, and then

0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:21.400
<v Speaker 1>other guys were in proximity and all of a sudden,

0:08:21.440 --> 0:08:24.600
<v Speaker 1>you're you're at without a quarterback, it kind of makes sense.

0:08:24.600 --> 0:08:26.320
<v Speaker 1>And with the expanded practice squad, I think you can

0:08:26.360 --> 0:08:30.360
<v Speaker 1>afford to do that. Um, So I understand that point.

0:08:30.400 --> 0:08:33.320
<v Speaker 1>I think that's a logical thread to pull, and it

0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>could happen, but I think it's a little early to

0:08:35.520 --> 0:08:38.360
<v Speaker 1>know for sure. I do think if you're Josh Rosen,

0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 1>who's already got his salary guaranteed from from Miami, so

0:08:43.360 --> 0:08:45.800
<v Speaker 1>chasing the highest salary probably wasn't as big as priority

0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.640
<v Speaker 1>as you can see, came to the practice squad here

0:08:47.640 --> 0:08:50.079
<v Speaker 1>where he probably could have got an act of roster

0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:53.840
<v Speaker 1>spot somewhere in the NFL. Uh. But chance to work

0:08:53.840 --> 0:08:59.160
<v Speaker 1>with Brusirians Byron Leftwich, Clyde Christensen, Tom Brady probably hard

0:08:59.200 --> 0:09:01.000
<v Speaker 1>to pay pass up. And also you might think as

0:09:01.000 --> 0:09:04.120
<v Speaker 1>a young quarterback, he's had a tough he's had a

0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:07.320
<v Speaker 1>tough road. You know, he gets drafted, starts a little

0:09:07.320 --> 0:09:11.160
<v Speaker 1>bit as a rookie on a just horrendously bad Arizona team,

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:13.760
<v Speaker 1>and then new coaches come in, they have the first

0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:15.679
<v Speaker 1>pick in the draft. They decided to go to Kyler Murray.

0:09:15.760 --> 0:09:17.440
<v Speaker 1>Then he goes to Miami and they're not a very

0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.560
<v Speaker 1>good team at all. So hasn't had a real great

0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.040
<v Speaker 1>opportunity yet. And maybe he's thinking a couple of years

0:09:22.040 --> 0:09:24.320
<v Speaker 1>down the road if Tom Brady finally hangs him up,

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:28.280
<v Speaker 1>which who knows that will happen now, you know, right,

0:09:28.360 --> 0:09:31.160
<v Speaker 1>so I can understand him thinking long term in that regard.

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:34.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, I will say, I don't know fans all

0:09:34.679 --> 0:09:37.640
<v Speaker 1>fans know this, but um, in addition to a sixteen

0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>man practice squad this year, which is huge, uh, you. Also,

0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:44.559
<v Speaker 1>each team also gets to say on Tuesday four players

0:09:44.880 --> 0:09:49.040
<v Speaker 1>that they're gonna protect, which means you can't be signed away.

0:09:49.360 --> 0:09:51.720
<v Speaker 1>Usually when you're on a practice squad, at any time

0:09:51.760 --> 0:09:53.920
<v Speaker 1>another team can sign you away to their active roster

0:09:54.040 --> 0:09:57.200
<v Speaker 1>and and uh, this year that's still true. But each

0:09:57.240 --> 0:09:59.920
<v Speaker 1>Tuesday you get to designate up to four players that

0:10:00.200 --> 0:10:02.320
<v Speaker 1>can't be that are protected and can't be signed away

0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:05.880
<v Speaker 1>until after the next game. And uh, we did our

0:10:06.000 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>four yesterday and Josh Rosen is one of them, which

0:10:10.080 --> 0:10:13.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, doesn't mean that we love Josh Rosen more

0:10:13.440 --> 0:10:14.960
<v Speaker 1>than the next guy in the practice squad. It just

0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:17.480
<v Speaker 1>means probably just means that that's a position where you

0:10:17.480 --> 0:10:20.720
<v Speaker 1>want to be protected. We also protected our second kicker,

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:23.360
<v Speaker 1>Greg Joseph. So I think it's gonna be a weekly

0:10:23.440 --> 0:10:26.160
<v Speaker 1>thing where where are you most worried that if something

0:10:26.240 --> 0:10:29.199
<v Speaker 1>were to happen, you'd be too thin and you'd need

0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.840
<v Speaker 1>somebody right away. So if you had a problem with

0:10:31.840 --> 0:10:35.400
<v Speaker 1>your quarterback room on a Friday and and you didn't

0:10:35.400 --> 0:10:38.560
<v Speaker 1>have a fourth quarterback or somebody plucked him away, you'd

0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.720
<v Speaker 1>be in a little bit of a pickle. So it's

0:10:40.720 --> 0:10:42.720
<v Speaker 1>interesting to see how that list will be used this

0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:46.320
<v Speaker 1>this year. First, the first week we protected Rosen wide

0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:50.800
<v Speaker 1>receiver Cyril Grayson, uh cornerback Mazzi Wilkins, and the kicker

0:10:50.840 --> 0:10:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Greg Joseph Okay, and we had Oscar asked, how does

0:10:54.120 --> 0:10:56.200
<v Speaker 1>the offensive line look? Are they gonna be ready to

0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:58.959
<v Speaker 1>protect Tom Brady this weekend? It's just gonna be interesting

0:10:59.000 --> 0:11:00.559
<v Speaker 1>to see overall. You may we talk about the idea

0:11:00.600 --> 0:11:05.080
<v Speaker 1>of Tristan Worth starting and usually the only change up

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.480
<v Speaker 1>front there. So I feel like a lot of this

0:11:06.559 --> 0:11:09.400
<v Speaker 1>question is are the existing guys gonna be do they

0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.000
<v Speaker 1>have reason to be better from last year? And then

0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.719
<v Speaker 1>how much better could Tristan worse make them? All? You

0:11:13.720 --> 0:11:15.840
<v Speaker 1>can really go on because it's really hard to tell

0:11:15.920 --> 0:11:17.719
<v Speaker 1>how good the line is when they're playing each other

0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.840
<v Speaker 1>in training camp and not all of it is full tackling,

0:11:21.920 --> 0:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>full contact. One thing you can go on is what

0:11:25.000 --> 0:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>they say about each other. And of course teammates are

0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:29.360
<v Speaker 1>going to be complimentary about each other, but we have

0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>heard um alling our pet for instance, say Donovan Smith

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 1>is even better that he looks great. And in the

0:11:36.000 --> 0:11:38.000
<v Speaker 1>issue with Donovan is his coach was saying. And one

0:11:38.000 --> 0:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>of these zoom called interviews was um consistency because they

0:11:42.280 --> 0:11:44.640
<v Speaker 1>love Donovan Smith. They think he's a really good tackle,

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:48.319
<v Speaker 1>but sometimes there's a player two that aren't perfect. And

0:11:48.520 --> 0:11:51.360
<v Speaker 1>the coach was saying, you can't have sixty good plays

0:11:51.360 --> 0:11:54.400
<v Speaker 1>and five bad ones. You need sixty consistent plays. And

0:11:54.440 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 1>apparently he looks really good. UM. Several guys have had

0:11:57.600 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 1>very good things to say about Tristan Worse. I think

0:12:00.240 --> 0:12:03.280
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Jensen and Ellie mark Pett were already very good

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.800
<v Speaker 1>last year. Alice Kappa impressed in terms of starting for

0:12:07.840 --> 0:12:11.079
<v Speaker 1>the first time at right guard. He should probably be better.

0:12:11.120 --> 0:12:13.480
<v Speaker 1>There have been some good things said about him, but honestly,

0:12:13.520 --> 0:12:14.840
<v Speaker 1>we're not going to know the answer to that question

0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:16.600
<v Speaker 1>for sure until we've had a couple of games. I'm

0:12:16.600 --> 0:12:19.280
<v Speaker 1>pretty optimistic about it though, Yeah, I would agree with that.

0:12:19.480 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>But we'll close with this one. This is an interesting question.

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.840
<v Speaker 1>Something else that sort of was an interesting find from

0:12:24.880 --> 0:12:28.200
<v Speaker 1>the depth chart that was released, J asked, will Gronk

0:12:28.320 --> 0:12:30.560
<v Speaker 1>line up with o J or Cam on a more

0:12:30.600 --> 0:12:33.200
<v Speaker 1>consistent basis. I think that you're gonna see a lot

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:38.080
<v Speaker 1>of Gronk and o J together. UM coach arians calls

0:12:38.200 --> 0:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>twelve personnel, which is two tight ends his base offense,

0:12:42.960 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>which is interesting because tight ends in his offenses, he

0:12:46.760 --> 0:12:48.800
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had a lot of hugely productive ones in terms

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.960
<v Speaker 1>of catches and so on, but he hasn't had a

0:12:52.040 --> 0:12:54.719
<v Speaker 1>room like this before either. Uh, you still end up

0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.600
<v Speaker 1>in eleven personnel, which is three wide more often, but

0:12:57.640 --> 0:12:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I think this year that that gap is gonna come

0:12:59.840 --> 0:13:01.400
<v Speaker 1>down on a little bit. You'll see a little more

0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:04.199
<v Speaker 1>um twelve personnel. And I think you're gonna see a

0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.000
<v Speaker 1>lot of Gronkin O G together, and there's gonna be

0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:09.320
<v Speaker 1>other packages. Uh, you know, Gronk and Cam, Cam and

0:13:09.320 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 1>o J. And don't even forget about Antonio Claire because

0:13:12.000 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the interesting of the thing about Claire is if you

0:13:14.920 --> 0:13:17.840
<v Speaker 1>look at his his stat line, he's been here about

0:13:17.880 --> 0:13:20.480
<v Speaker 1>three years and he's got a surprisingly large number of

0:13:20.520 --> 0:13:23.960
<v Speaker 1>starts because lots of times we started a package which

0:13:24.000 --> 0:13:26.400
<v Speaker 1>has him and O J. And if it's for the

0:13:26.400 --> 0:13:28.560
<v Speaker 1>purpose of running the ball. So I think you have

0:13:28.600 --> 0:13:32.520
<v Speaker 1>a call, I'm not that is true. Well in Karman,

0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.240
<v Speaker 1>it's our other reporter Kermen. I'll call her back. Why

0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:37.240
<v Speaker 1>isn't she watching this here? Tell her to tell her

0:13:37.280 --> 0:13:39.040
<v Speaker 1>to go right now. This is great, Well it worked

0:13:39.040 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>at all. We were ending anyway, so you can go

0:13:41.160 --> 0:13:44.640
<v Speaker 1>call Karmen back. Yes, yes, perfect a. Well, thanks to

0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:46.280

0:13:57.520 --> 0:14:03.360
