WEBVTT - Bucs Insider Live, July 10

0:00:14.360 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>Welcome in to Buccaneers Inside our Live presented by Miller,

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:18.960
<v Speaker 1>like Casey Phillips and Scott Smith here, And it's been

0:00:19.239 --> 0:00:21.440
<v Speaker 1>a couple of weeks since our last show. Our office

0:00:21.480 --> 0:00:22.800
<v Speaker 1>kind of shuts down for a little bit of a

0:00:22.880 --> 0:00:25.439
<v Speaker 1>July for our holiday, which is very nice, but uh,

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>you know, normally this time of year there's not just

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.160
<v Speaker 1>a whole lot of news or a whole lot going on,

0:00:30.280 --> 0:00:32.560
<v Speaker 1>but there has been a little bit more news since

0:00:32.600 --> 0:00:34.400
<v Speaker 1>we lasted our show because the last time we were here,

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.919
<v Speaker 1>we didn't actually know what was going to happen with

0:00:37.000 --> 0:00:39.960
<v Speaker 1>the Jamis Winston suspension. Now we do have some certainty

0:00:39.960 --> 0:00:42.200
<v Speaker 1>on how many games he's going to be missing, and

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.199
<v Speaker 1>we I know that I'm sure we're gonna get a

0:00:44.200 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>million questions about that. So at this point, what do

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:48.080
<v Speaker 1>we know and how you feel like you see that

0:00:48.200 --> 0:00:50.879
<v Speaker 1>affecting those first three games. Last time we're on there

0:00:50.960 --> 0:00:53.360
<v Speaker 1>was sort of there were reports out there that it

0:00:53.400 --> 0:00:55.040
<v Speaker 1>was going to be a three game suspension, which proved

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.280
<v Speaker 1>to be true, but we said at the time that

0:00:57.360 --> 0:00:59.760
<v Speaker 1>we really couldn't go very far with it because it

0:00:59.840 --> 0:01:02.240
<v Speaker 1>was not official. But since then the league made its

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.000
<v Speaker 1>official ruling it will be a three game suspension to

0:01:05.080 --> 0:01:07.720
<v Speaker 1>start the season. Jameis Winston can still come to training

0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 1>camp and playing all the preseason games. But then unless

0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:12.560
<v Speaker 1>the first three games and uh, you know, Jamis made

0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:15.440
<v Speaker 1>his statement afterwards, the team made their statement afterwards. So

0:01:15.520 --> 0:01:18.680
<v Speaker 1>from that standpoint, we have clarity at least for the

0:01:18.840 --> 0:01:20.920
<v Speaker 1>you know, for the short term. So that's what we know.

0:01:21.160 --> 0:01:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Three games and so of course now you start discussing

0:01:24.200 --> 0:01:26.920
<v Speaker 1>what what are the consequences of that who will be

0:01:26.959 --> 0:01:29.560
<v Speaker 1>at quarterback in those three games? How well will that

0:01:29.600 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>person do, what will be like when Jamis comes back,

0:01:31.760 --> 0:01:33.279
<v Speaker 1>that sort of thing, So of course we can discuss

0:01:33.319 --> 0:01:37.520
<v Speaker 1>those things. I'm sure fans want to do that. The obvious, uh,

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:39.920
<v Speaker 1>the answer for those first three games is Ryan Fitzpatrick.

0:01:40.000 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>But we can't really count out Ryan Griffin because they

0:01:42.880 --> 0:01:45.119
<v Speaker 1>he's been around for about three seasons now, and they

0:01:45.160 --> 0:01:47.840
<v Speaker 1>went into two Ryan's went into last year's training camp

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.360
<v Speaker 1>in pretty much an equal battle. It became a move

0:01:50.440 --> 0:01:54.200
<v Speaker 1>point because Ryan Griffin hurt his shoulder, but I would

0:01:54.200 --> 0:01:56.120
<v Speaker 1>think that Bucks still failed just as good about him,

0:01:56.120 --> 0:01:58.320
<v Speaker 1>so he'll get every chance to compete. But the obviously

0:01:58.320 --> 0:02:00.800
<v Speaker 1>answer is Ryan Fitzpatrick, right, actually and yeah, and just

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>to make sure everyone knows that they're new to the show,

0:02:02.800 --> 0:02:05.360
<v Speaker 1>we are taking questions from all of you. The questions

0:02:05.400 --> 0:02:07.720
<v Speaker 1>will be on Facebook. So depending on where all you're

0:02:07.720 --> 0:02:10.440
<v Speaker 1>watching this, head over to the Facebook page and send

0:02:10.440 --> 0:02:13.840
<v Speaker 1>in some of those on the actual live video. We're yeah,

0:02:13.840 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>we're already getting some things come in here as well.

0:02:15.440 --> 0:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>So you talked about Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Griffin that

0:02:17.919 --> 0:02:20.799
<v Speaker 1>um that it was a pretty interesting competition last year.

0:02:20.800 --> 0:02:23.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you remember about Essentially, we we got to

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.840
<v Speaker 1>see Ryan Fitzpatrick in regular season games last year. What

0:02:26.880 --> 0:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>do you remember about what we saw from him in

0:02:28.440 --> 0:02:30.680
<v Speaker 1>those games and then what we saw from Ryan Griffin

0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.040
<v Speaker 1>before that injury. Well, Ryan Griffin was looking good before

0:02:33.080 --> 0:02:34.959
<v Speaker 1>he got injured, and it was going to be and

0:02:35.360 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 1>it was gonna be a difficult situation. I think a

0:02:37.760 --> 0:02:40.120
<v Speaker 1>good problem to have because the reason you bring in

0:02:40.200 --> 0:02:42.680
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Fitzpatrick is you know what he can do. Uh,

0:02:42.760 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>He's a very known comanity with over a hundred starts.

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.359
<v Speaker 1>He's he's had some really big numbers in some places.

0:02:47.760 --> 0:02:49.840
<v Speaker 1>He's obviously a very smart guy. The team believed he

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:53.000
<v Speaker 1>could pick things up quickly, he could step in and

0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:56.400
<v Speaker 1>keep the offense operating at the level was what jamis

0:02:56.440 --> 0:02:59.040
<v Speaker 1>and that's what happened in those three games, and he started,

0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:00.919
<v Speaker 1>we won two of them, and he was pretty good

0:03:00.960 --> 0:03:03.640
<v Speaker 1>in those games are pretty productive. In addition, he also

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 1>had a really nice second half in Arizona, making the

0:03:07.320 --> 0:03:10.840
<v Speaker 1>Bucks pretty good comeback that didn't quite pan out after

0:03:10.919 --> 0:03:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Jamis heard his shoulder the first time. So, uh, you know,

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:16.239
<v Speaker 1>it's easy too. It would be the easiest answer would

0:03:16.280 --> 0:03:17.600
<v Speaker 1>be to say, well, we've seen that he can do it,

0:03:17.680 --> 0:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>so he's the obvious guy. But Ryan Griffin was looking

0:03:20.000 --> 0:03:22.840
<v Speaker 1>pretty good beforehand. If if I have to be the

0:03:22.840 --> 0:03:24.320
<v Speaker 1>one to make that decision, like if they had to

0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:26.280
<v Speaker 1>decide at the end of training camp last year which

0:03:26.360 --> 0:03:29.239
<v Speaker 1>Ryan to keep, if Ryan Griffin had done continue to

0:03:29.280 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 1>do well throughout the preseason, I think that would have

0:03:30.840 --> 0:03:32.960
<v Speaker 1>been tough and also would have been tough to decide, well,

0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:35.080
<v Speaker 1>are we're gonna keep two or we're gonna keep three.

0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.600
<v Speaker 1>And by the time they had to make that decision,

0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>it was mid season because Ryan Griffin had been put

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:41.600
<v Speaker 1>on injury reserve and then we'd used one of our

0:03:41.640 --> 0:03:44.000
<v Speaker 1>options to take him off, and we still had Jamis,

0:03:44.000 --> 0:03:45.800
<v Speaker 1>but he was banged up and we had um Ryan

0:03:45.840 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Griffin starting, so it was an easy decision just to

0:03:47.920 --> 0:03:52.560
<v Speaker 1>activate Ryan fitzpat Ryan Griffin and role with all three

0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.680
<v Speaker 1>of them. You know, I know because he said it

0:03:54.760 --> 0:03:58.120
<v Speaker 1>once early last year that if he had, if everything

0:03:58.160 --> 0:03:59.880
<v Speaker 1>worked out the way he wanted, Dirk Utter would prefer

0:03:59.920 --> 0:04:02.280
<v Speaker 1>to just keep two quarterbacks on the fifty three man roster,

0:04:02.520 --> 0:04:04.000
<v Speaker 1>which a lot of teams do. Now that you don't

0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:08.680
<v Speaker 1>have that third inactive game day option anymore. So, uh,

0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:11.120
<v Speaker 1>you know that's probably kind of cleared up in this

0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>case to start the season, because with Jamis unavailable for

0:04:13.760 --> 0:04:15.720
<v Speaker 1>the first three would seem very likely you would keep

0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.520
<v Speaker 1>Ryan Fitzpatrick and Ryan Griffin for those three games. Uh.

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:20.560
<v Speaker 1>The only other option right now is the unrector Ricky

0:04:20.600 --> 0:04:23.000
<v Speaker 1>Austin Allen Um, who off the top of my head,

0:04:23.000 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>would seem like a good bet to make the practice

0:04:25.080 --> 0:04:28.720
<v Speaker 1>squad but not necessarily active roster. And uh, and so

0:04:28.760 --> 0:04:31.000
<v Speaker 1>you keep those two and then the question becomes again

0:04:31.000 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>when Jamis comes back, you go down to two, which

0:04:33.440 --> 0:04:35.480
<v Speaker 1>means something has to go, or do you keep three

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:37.360
<v Speaker 1>for the rest of the year. Okay, that'll be interesting

0:04:37.400 --> 0:04:39.599
<v Speaker 1>to see for sure. Um, we had a question from Michael.

0:04:39.640 --> 0:04:41.800
<v Speaker 1>He said, do you think this makes it more likely

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:43.719
<v Speaker 1>that the Bucks are going to go very run heavy

0:04:43.760 --> 0:04:46.120
<v Speaker 1>to start the season without Janus? Now? I don't think so,

0:04:46.240 --> 0:04:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And I do think the Buckners would like to run

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:50.920
<v Speaker 1>the ball more, which is going to be involved running

0:04:50.920 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 1>the ball more effectively than they did last year or

0:04:53.320 --> 0:04:56.560
<v Speaker 1>the last two years. I think the ideal is you

0:04:56.560 --> 0:05:00.680
<v Speaker 1>would look at two thousand and fifteen, which was Dirk

0:05:00.720 --> 0:05:03.560
<v Speaker 1>Cutter's first year. He was the offensive coordinator, but he

0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:06.360
<v Speaker 1>so he was here calling plays the Bucks. Doug Martin

0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:08.080
<v Speaker 1>had a really good year and the Bucks running game

0:05:08.120 --> 0:05:11.720
<v Speaker 1>was very good that that year. Jamis was still young,

0:05:12.200 --> 0:05:16.040
<v Speaker 1>he was rookie, and so he probably they probably wanted

0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:18.520
<v Speaker 1>to give him as much support in the running game

0:05:18.520 --> 0:05:19.919
<v Speaker 1>as possible. But I think what you saw was a

0:05:19.920 --> 0:05:22.720
<v Speaker 1>pretty balanced attack, and and that's what coaches will say

0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:24.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times, this is the hardest offense to

0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:26.640
<v Speaker 1>defend is a balanced one because you don't know what's coming.

0:05:26.720 --> 0:05:28.720
<v Speaker 1>So I don't think it would I would use the

0:05:28.839 --> 0:05:30.640
<v Speaker 1>term run heavy because it's not like you really need

0:05:30.640 --> 0:05:34.720
<v Speaker 1>to protect Ryan Fitzpatrick. I think um, But I do

0:05:34.800 --> 0:05:37.520
<v Speaker 1>think just in general that will want to run the

0:05:37.520 --> 0:05:39.720
<v Speaker 1>ball more and that's gonna involve doing it more effectively,

0:05:39.960 --> 0:05:42.440
<v Speaker 1>which comes down to two things. How how big of

0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:44.280
<v Speaker 1>a factor is Ronald Jones and I think they think

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:47.080
<v Speaker 1>it's gonna be a big factor. And does the reshuffled

0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>offensive line performed better than they did last year? Amazing segue.

0:05:51.440 --> 0:05:53.240
<v Speaker 1>You didn't even know that. That's where we were heading here.

0:05:53.279 --> 0:05:55.359
<v Speaker 1>But Gerald wants to know how good does the offensive

0:05:55.400 --> 0:05:58.720
<v Speaker 1>line look so far? Well, that's an unanswerable question at

0:05:58.720 --> 0:06:01.279
<v Speaker 1>the moment, as we said, because the one thing you

0:06:01.360 --> 0:06:04.919
<v Speaker 1>really can't judge in offseason workouts is how good the

0:06:04.960 --> 0:06:07.360
<v Speaker 1>offensive and defensive lines are because everyone can't hit each other.

0:06:07.440 --> 0:06:09.159
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you can't see a lot of these guys

0:06:09.160 --> 0:06:12.799
<v Speaker 1>who brought in like Ryan Jensen and the rookie Alex Kappa.

0:06:13.480 --> 0:06:15.160
<v Speaker 1>A big part of their scouting report and it still

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:16.840
<v Speaker 1>has to be proven on the field for us is

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:21.120
<v Speaker 1>how aggressive and you know, borderline nasty, that good nasty

0:06:21.160 --> 0:06:23.840
<v Speaker 1>that people used to describe offensive lineman. And so that

0:06:23.880 --> 0:06:27.520
<v Speaker 1>can't come out yet. Um so we'll see in training camp,

0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>but on paper I like it. I think there's some

0:06:30.040 --> 0:06:31.960
<v Speaker 1>question marks, you know, the health of DeMar Dotson and

0:06:31.960 --> 0:06:34.280
<v Speaker 1>who's gonna start it right guard. The team seems to

0:06:34.279 --> 0:06:35.960
<v Speaker 1>be kind of high on Kleb Benenock. I think he's

0:06:35.960 --> 0:06:38.159
<v Speaker 1>probably the favorite there and that's a good thing, but

0:06:38.200 --> 0:06:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I think I still think there's a lot to prove there.

0:06:40.000 --> 0:06:42.560
<v Speaker 1>But from center over to left tackle. I like it.

0:06:42.640 --> 0:06:46.839
<v Speaker 1>And partially that's because I tend to believe our coaches

0:06:46.839 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 1>who are a lot higher on Donovan Smith than a

0:06:48.680 --> 0:06:50.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of the outside sources, and they see more of

0:06:50.839 --> 0:06:52.720
<v Speaker 1>him in practice and know him a lot better than

0:06:52.720 --> 0:06:55.520
<v Speaker 1>everybody else. For sure. Zach wants to know, is Justin

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:58.640
<v Speaker 1>Evans a starting safety this year? Well he was last year?

0:06:58.880 --> 0:07:01.360
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, I think so. And that's a different way

0:07:01.360 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 1>of getting the same question we get every week. It

0:07:03.080 --> 0:07:05.799
<v Speaker 1>just he was gonna start. He seems like the surest

0:07:05.839 --> 0:07:07.680
<v Speaker 1>bet of all the safeties to be starting, because he

0:07:07.720 --> 0:07:09.600
<v Speaker 1>was the guy that from about week three or four

0:07:09.680 --> 0:07:13.200
<v Speaker 1>on last year was the guy playing every snap, starting

0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:14.880
<v Speaker 1>every game, playing every snap, So he seemed like the

0:07:14.880 --> 0:07:16.640
<v Speaker 1>one safety of the Bucks support set on, Yeah, we

0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.320
<v Speaker 1>need this guy on the field. Chris County, you know,

0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.600
<v Speaker 1>he was out there a lot too and played well,

0:07:21.640 --> 0:07:23.200
<v Speaker 1>but also had to split some time with t J.

0:07:23.280 --> 0:07:25.400
<v Speaker 1>Ward and then Keith Danny didn't really get a lot

0:07:25.400 --> 0:07:26.760
<v Speaker 1>of playtime because he was a little banged up. But

0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:29.200
<v Speaker 1>roll back to two OUs and sixteen and he had

0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.119
<v Speaker 1>a really nice, like five games stretch as a starter.

0:07:31.200 --> 0:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>So always a good option there. But yeah, I think

0:07:32.960 --> 0:07:36.080
<v Speaker 1>just then is a pretty sure bet. Andre wanted to know.

0:07:36.280 --> 0:07:39.760
<v Speaker 1>Have the Bucks ever made a pick in the supplemental Draft? Yes,

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.600
<v Speaker 1>but not for a long long time. In seven, we

0:07:44.840 --> 0:07:47.840
<v Speaker 1>chose Dan Silio, a defensive tackle out of the University

0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>of Miami, and uh, it didn't really go very well.

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:52.720
<v Speaker 1>I think he played maybe like six games for sort

0:07:52.720 --> 0:07:54.120
<v Speaker 1>of ten games something like that. I think he was

0:07:54.160 --> 0:07:56.800
<v Speaker 1>only here for one year. Um, and he later became

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.239
<v Speaker 1>a member of the media around here, had radio shows

0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.440
<v Speaker 1>and so on. But um, yeah, that that was I

0:08:02.480 --> 0:08:04.320
<v Speaker 1>think that's the only time we've ever done that. And

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:07.920
<v Speaker 1>that was what thirty something years ago. It's not very

0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:11.200
<v Speaker 1>common and uh, you know, you lose the draft pick

0:08:11.240 --> 0:08:14.200
<v Speaker 1>that you use the next year, So there hasn't even

0:08:14.240 --> 0:08:17.320
<v Speaker 1>been anybody picked in the last I think three supplemental drafts,

0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:19.600
<v Speaker 1>but there was. Did it happen? It was supposed to happen.

0:08:19.800 --> 0:08:25.160
<v Speaker 1>That's how little publicize this thing is right, Yeah, it's not.

0:08:25.280 --> 0:08:27.360
<v Speaker 1>It's not very highly publicized, which is interesting. I mean,

0:08:27.400 --> 0:08:29.800
<v Speaker 1>what do you do you feel like? I just feel

0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:31.720
<v Speaker 1>like it's interesting that the Bucks have found so many

0:08:31.720 --> 0:08:34.920
<v Speaker 1>players from unlikely places in some ways of either unlikely

0:08:34.960 --> 0:08:38.640
<v Speaker 1>schools or I mean even Anthony all Claire coming from Canada,

0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:42.160
<v Speaker 1>that it's interesting that the supplemental Draft isn't. Well, it's

0:08:42.200 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 1>just that there's often not a lot of players that

0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>are U that you deem worthy of putting a draft

0:08:47.160 --> 0:08:49.240
<v Speaker 1>pick on. You know, to be in the supplemental Draft,

0:08:49.880 --> 0:08:51.720
<v Speaker 1>you're you had to have been in a situation where

0:08:51.760 --> 0:08:55.440
<v Speaker 1>you you didn't declare, weren't eligible for the regular draft,

0:08:55.480 --> 0:08:58.679
<v Speaker 1>but something changed after that, like something at their school situation,

0:08:58.800 --> 0:09:01.199
<v Speaker 1>maybe something happened and they lost their last year of

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:03.360
<v Speaker 1>eligibility or something. And so there's only three or four

0:09:03.360 --> 0:09:06.520
<v Speaker 1>guys that fall into that category every year, and usually

0:09:06.640 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>the guys that, even if you like him a little bit,

0:09:08.960 --> 0:09:11.600
<v Speaker 1>you figure, well, we'll see if nobody gets from drafted,

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:13.640
<v Speaker 1>then they can sign with somebody, so you don't necessarily

0:09:13.679 --> 0:09:15.160
<v Speaker 1>have to to use a draft pick on one of

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:18.520
<v Speaker 1>those guys. I think there was one cornerback in this

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>one who was considered a guy that might get drafted

0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>be the first guy draft in the last few years.

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:25.320
<v Speaker 1>I know the Bucks didn't do it. I can't recall

0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 1>if that happened and he got drafted, but um, I

0:09:28.200 --> 0:09:30.080
<v Speaker 1>think that's just that's the reason the supple Mill draft

0:09:30.120 --> 0:09:33.559
<v Speaker 1>really isn't all that fruitful most of them. Michael wants

0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:35.640
<v Speaker 1>to know who's the favorite to win kick return punt

0:09:35.679 --> 0:09:39.040
<v Speaker 1>return duties. Boy, I like that question a lot, and

0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:41.840
<v Speaker 1>I'm hoping that it's asked again a little later because

0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:44.160
<v Speaker 1>it's hard to call. I guess right now, you just

0:09:44.200 --> 0:09:46.320
<v Speaker 1>go with the incomments I know from talking to our

0:09:46.320 --> 0:09:48.679
<v Speaker 1>special team's coach, Nate Caps, are that they like what

0:09:48.720 --> 0:09:52.280
<v Speaker 1>Adam Humphreys does on punts and what Jack Quiz does

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:54.360
<v Speaker 1>on kickoffs. I don't think either of those guys has

0:09:54.360 --> 0:09:57.880
<v Speaker 1>produced a ton of dynamic plays, but they're smart guys.

0:09:58.760 --> 0:10:02.160
<v Speaker 1>They do the right thing. I know. Um Nate Cats

0:10:02.200 --> 0:10:04.520
<v Speaker 1>are raves about Jack Wis Rogers and how he just

0:10:04.600 --> 0:10:07.000
<v Speaker 1>he's really apparently, and so does so the offensive coaches.

0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:09.600
<v Speaker 1>This is apparently like a really smart guy and really

0:10:09.600 --> 0:10:12.760
<v Speaker 1>football smart as well. And he he always does he

0:10:12.800 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 1>knows what he's doing. He does the right things. And

0:10:14.480 --> 0:10:17.199
<v Speaker 1>so that's that's a baseline to start with at any position,

0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.079
<v Speaker 1>you don't want to mess up place on returns, right,

0:10:20.160 --> 0:10:22.680
<v Speaker 1>that's you want to start with, Basel. This guy's gonna

0:10:22.679 --> 0:10:25.000
<v Speaker 1>handle a ball well and make the right decisions and

0:10:25.040 --> 0:10:28.520
<v Speaker 1>hopefully at least get you back to or choose not

0:10:28.559 --> 0:10:30.040
<v Speaker 1>to run it out when you shouldn't run it out.

0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>That said, I think in an ideal world, the Bucks

0:10:33.360 --> 0:10:36.559
<v Speaker 1>would prefer to find some young player who has is

0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:39.800
<v Speaker 1>a much more dynamic opportunity option back there. So I

0:10:39.800 --> 0:10:41.439
<v Speaker 1>would go with the incumbents is the favorite, but I

0:10:41.440 --> 0:10:43.360
<v Speaker 1>wouldn't be shocked at all if a guy like and

0:10:43.400 --> 0:10:45.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, you know, maybe m J. Stewart or

0:10:46.280 --> 0:10:49.199
<v Speaker 1>um Jordan Whitehead who did some running back and he

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:51.040
<v Speaker 1>hasn't had a lot of returns, but he's played offense.

0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:54.480
<v Speaker 1>Somebody like that, given you or um the running back

0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.800
<v Speaker 1>from Duke Seawan Wilson, undrafted rookie, he could be a

0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.520
<v Speaker 1>guy that could actually earn a spintaling roster specifically for that.

0:11:01.080 --> 0:11:03.240
<v Speaker 1>So and then we shouldn't forget that Bernard readis back

0:11:03.240 --> 0:11:04.839
<v Speaker 1>and he was our aunt return and they liked him.

0:11:05.080 --> 0:11:06.679
<v Speaker 1>He just lost his roster spot when there was a

0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:08.440
<v Speaker 1>lot of injuries and we had to make some moves. Yeah,

0:11:08.480 --> 0:11:11.559
<v Speaker 1>that's true. Uh, Christopher, Well, I'll combine a couple of

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.000
<v Speaker 1>questions here. Christopher wants to know how the defense is

0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:16.920
<v Speaker 1>looking and will we get more sacks? Brandon was asking

0:11:17.000 --> 0:11:19.720
<v Speaker 1>of the new guys via free agency or draft, who

0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:23.640
<v Speaker 1>is impressing you on the defensive side? Okay, Um, yeah,

0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.520
<v Speaker 1>I think we'll get more sacks because it would be

0:11:25.559 --> 0:11:27.400
<v Speaker 1>hard to get fewer. We were last in the league

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:30.920
<v Speaker 1>with twenty two, and I mean that's that's a bad number. Um.

0:11:30.960 --> 0:11:34.320
<v Speaker 1>And we just I acknowledge the fact that every move

0:11:34.360 --> 0:11:37.480
<v Speaker 1>that you make isn't gonna work, especially in freegency. And

0:11:37.520 --> 0:11:39.680
<v Speaker 1>we can take just this one simple example like Michael

0:11:39.720 --> 0:11:41.679
<v Speaker 1>Johnson that was supposed to be a guy who's really

0:11:41.679 --> 0:11:43.720
<v Speaker 1>going to change our past rush and didn't really work out.

0:11:44.040 --> 0:11:46.360
<v Speaker 1>So yes, those moves cannot work out. But there we

0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:49.720
<v Speaker 1>made so many of them that even if most of

0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:52.120
<v Speaker 1>them work out, it should be a big improvement. Vinny Curry,

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:57.520
<v Speaker 1>Jason Pierre, Paul, Mitch un Rhine, Vita Vella. Uh, Pierre Paul,

0:11:57.679 --> 0:12:00.800
<v Speaker 1>I'm missing one of them, bow Allen, that's a lot

0:12:00.840 --> 0:12:03.240
<v Speaker 1>of new pieces, all of them, except for vita Vea,

0:12:03.360 --> 0:12:07.320
<v Speaker 1>relatively proven players and some of them proven pass rushers,

0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>and especially JPP and Curry. Uh some of those are

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:12.120
<v Speaker 1>gonna work out. Hopefully all of them work out. But

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:14.680
<v Speaker 1>even if they don't, we have to have more sacks

0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:16.880
<v Speaker 1>this year just from that being able to run in

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:19.760
<v Speaker 1>a rotation like that. And you know, even if vita

0:12:19.800 --> 0:12:22.400
<v Speaker 1>Vea doesn't proved to be a big sack guy in

0:12:22.440 --> 0:12:24.480
<v Speaker 1>his first year, he's gonna make a difference just by

0:12:24.480 --> 0:12:27.120
<v Speaker 1>clogging up blockers and giving guys one on one opportunities.

0:12:27.160 --> 0:12:28.760
<v Speaker 1>And the same thing with bo Allen. So yeah, we'll

0:12:28.760 --> 0:12:31.880
<v Speaker 1>get more sex who's been most impressive so far? It again,

0:12:31.960 --> 0:12:33.800
<v Speaker 1>going back to what he said before, it's hard to

0:12:33.800 --> 0:12:37.920
<v Speaker 1>say that about any of the lineman, although watching three

0:12:37.920 --> 0:12:39.960
<v Speaker 1>and fifty pound vita Vea go through those drills and

0:12:40.000 --> 0:12:41.839
<v Speaker 1>looking like he's a three hundred pound guy the way

0:12:41.840 --> 0:12:44.320
<v Speaker 1>he moves, he's impressive. But let's see how that translates.

0:12:44.559 --> 0:12:49.360
<v Speaker 1>So I'd probably go with um Carlton Davis. Uh. Gary said,

0:12:49.480 --> 0:12:52.040
<v Speaker 1>how does our linebacker situation look this year? Well, it

0:12:52.080 --> 0:12:55.080
<v Speaker 1>looks really obvious. In two of the starting spots, both

0:12:55.120 --> 0:12:58.360
<v Speaker 1>Lavonta and Quander healthy and Pro Bowl caliber players, they

0:12:58.360 --> 0:13:01.920
<v Speaker 1>should obviously be starting in those spots and producing big plays.

0:13:02.559 --> 0:13:05.160
<v Speaker 1>Uh I think if he recovers in time from his

0:13:05.640 --> 0:13:07.640
<v Speaker 1>ankle injury got in a car accident, kindle Beck with

0:13:07.679 --> 0:13:10.080
<v Speaker 1>his is the very obvious third starter, and even the

0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:14.600
<v Speaker 1>reserves are pretty well known commodities and Darius Taylor, cam Lynch,

0:13:15.360 --> 0:13:18.720
<v Speaker 1>Davante Bond, So it looks like a pretty solid group

0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.320
<v Speaker 1>right there. Um. The one big unknown is Jack Cichy,

0:13:22.400 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>the draft pick, and I think he would have gone

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:25.960
<v Speaker 1>higher than the sixth round if he hadn't been hadn't

0:13:26.000 --> 0:13:28.559
<v Speaker 1>hurt his knee and missed all of his season at Wisconsin.

0:13:28.679 --> 0:13:31.680
<v Speaker 1>So he's healthy and running around. Uh So if he

0:13:31.720 --> 0:13:33.400
<v Speaker 1>forces the way into the picture, that'd be interesting. But

0:13:33.400 --> 0:13:35.480
<v Speaker 1>otherwise I would say linebacker is one of the most

0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:38.320
<v Speaker 1>set positions on our on our roster. Interesting. I think

0:13:38.360 --> 0:13:41.080
<v Speaker 1>we're gonna get this question a lot, probably over the

0:13:41.120 --> 0:13:43.760
<v Speaker 1>next few weeks and through training camp. Tyrone wants to

0:13:43.760 --> 0:13:46.880
<v Speaker 1>know how much we'll see Chris Godwin on the outside

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>and and Jackson in the slot to take advantage of

0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:51.880
<v Speaker 1>his speed there. It'll be interesting, you know, when that

0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.679
<v Speaker 1>topic has come up. De Shaun and the coaches have

0:13:55.760 --> 0:13:57.760
<v Speaker 1>been a little vague about it, but I wouldn't call

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.600
<v Speaker 1>it outright denials that that might happen, right, And I

0:14:00.600 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>can understand that. You know, if if they were developing

0:14:03.040 --> 0:14:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a bunch of plays for DeShawn Jackson in the slot,

0:14:06.200 --> 0:14:07.600
<v Speaker 1>does it make a lot of sense to really give

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:10.200
<v Speaker 1>out all those details. But we'll see it on the

0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.600
<v Speaker 1>practice field during training camps, so we'll get a little

0:14:12.600 --> 0:14:14.600
<v Speaker 1>better feel for it then. But I think you're gonna

0:14:14.640 --> 0:14:16.720
<v Speaker 1>see you're gonna see some of that because they've got

0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>to figure out a way to get Chris gott Went

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.840
<v Speaker 1>on the field, all right, and that seems like one

0:14:19.840 --> 0:14:21.560
<v Speaker 1>good way to do it. Yeah, that's very true. All right,

0:14:21.560 --> 0:14:22.600
<v Speaker 1>that's going to do it for us here on this

0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 1>edition of Buccaneers Inside a Live presented by Miller Lte. Thanks,

0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:27.560
<v Speaker 1>as always for your questions, and we'll see you right

0:14:27.600 --> 0:14:28.520
<v Speaker 1>back here every week.
