00:00let's begin in tampa bay joe as the bucks are a field goal favorite total in this game checks in

00:0643 and a half i am curious when you see that full field goal number i think that is actually with

00:14the way tampa bay has played a respectful number to this team i understand that they are home but

00:19we don't feel the vantage is not probably priced the way it was yeah you know certainly you know

00:2310 years ago or so what do you think about the number when you see do you feel strongly about

00:28a side in this game no no again i feel strongly on the total and we'll get into that later but yeah

00:35but just think about the game a couple weeks ago it was the same number so and tampa lost that game 23

00:41to 20 and you know again the identity is lost so it's a must-win game this is a team that has won

00:49the division three straight years again quarterback advantage skill advantage on the wide receivers

00:54i'll give the the running back advantage to chuba hubbard and rico daddle just for argument's sake

01:00defensively carolina i would say just because you would say yeah just because the secondary has been

01:08abused right now by tampa bay one of the worst statistical secondaries bottom third in the nfl

01:13it's a must-win game and i think the perception is now there's no way baker and tampa bay is going to

01:21lose this right right like that's that's what i believe but if you ask me from the football aspect

01:30is it possible carolina could pull off the upset absolutely do i have confidence in bryce young no

01:37but if they're able to run the football and tampa shows me what they have which is no consistency

01:44no continuity now on the offensive line you saw bucky ervin yelling at the offensive line tristan

01:49worse has been in and out of that lineup you know so that has affected protection but again

01:55what is the offensive philosophy for tampa bay you tell me it used to be pass first run off a play

02:05reaction or run off of the passing attack as baker cooks so does the rushing attack we flip that now

02:11now we want to force the square peg into the round hole we want to get rashad white and bucky ervin going

02:16and we're going to run it at all costs and then in predictable third down situations we expect baker

02:22to pull rabbits out of a hat yeah again i just don't understand when you have mike evans and you have

02:27mcmillan and you have a buka and you have godwin right throw it 45 times and then run it but again

02:34they score early pull back the reins allow the team to come back or their opposition and then

02:41we're figuring it out they have had teams dead to rights throughout the regular season and have not

02:47been able to close the door because of the complacency of the offensive philosophy and you

02:52could say maybe going from cohen to now the new offensive coordinator is the reason but they have to

02:58figure it out if i'm todd bowles and i'm this organization i am not going down where baker mayfield

03:05throwing 22 times in this game and losing this game 21 to 17 i i think i think for me joe i hear what

03:13you're saying about hey let baker throw it all over the place i think their offensive continuity has been

03:21disastrous i i there's no identity but so i agree with you but i think some of that is

03:27none of these guys are playing well like when you look right now at baker mayfield and we just set

03:34it off at the top he's not just been bad for a couple of games i mean baker mayfield started the

03:39year playing at a near mvp level he has been one of the 10 worst quarterbacks in football it feels like

03:46yeah for two months bucky irving is supposed to be one of the most explosive running backs in football

03:54joe 3.4 yards a carry it was 5.4 last year a full two yards a carry drop off shouldn't even be possible

04:05in my estimation so that is why tampa bay becomes a very difficult group i think to buy into because

04:14what are you buying into the run the run game and by the way the run game has no consistency because all

04:21of a sudden now they're like you know what maybe we should get rashad white more involved sean tucker's

04:25our goal line back it's like i mean the emekic buka fall off is still one of the most incredible

04:30things we've ever seen emekic buka hit the scene and would look like a lock a lock to win offensive

04:38rookie of the year he's not even a candidate yeah he's not even he's not even the mix right now

04:43defensively nobody trusts them what's todd bowles doing wow i mean you could have made that argument and

04:49i gave todd bowles the benefit of the doubt because i was always down on todd bowles but the fact that

04:53he did coach up this team and allow the offensive side to just do what they had to do and him concerned

04:59with the defense i was all well and good but now as the head of the organization in the face

05:04of this team you have to take control and they haven't taken control they have lost the garbage teams

05:11down the stretch they have lost seven of the last eight games okay and when they had that three game

05:16losing streak against teams like the patriots and some better teams that we discussed you're like

05:22okay it's okay they're banged up evans was out godwin is out they get the one victory over arizona

05:2720 to 17 who by the way arizona's defense is absolutely abysmal and again they have gotten

05:33shredded by multiple quarterbacks and to only put up 20 points on that defense is pathetic

05:39nigga

05:40yeah

05:42yeah
