00:00I'm not high on the Bucs for this year. By the way, as we tape this, Baker Mayfield still needs
00:06a contract.
00:07I just feel like there's something a little off when it comes to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
00:13It's fair to ask where Baker Mayfield is in his NFL career if there is another level to it.
00:20Start to ask questions like, am I going to give this guy a top-end quarterback contract
00:25when there's evidence pointing to there's a ceiling.
00:28And one more thing, Adam, even in those two big-time years for Baker with Canales and Cohen,
00:34what's the ceiling here? Winning a playoff game? Is that even enough?
00:37We love Baker, but is he the future? Should he be the future?
00:41I think you nailed it. Mike Evans not being there makes me nervous. Tangibles and intangibles.
00:47Levante David calls it a great career. He's not going to be there.
00:50That bothers me in terms of tangibles and intangibles.
00:53And, you know, I think Todd Bowles is solid. I don't think he's a rah-rah, get-em-over-the
01:00-hump guy.
01:01Look, Todd is who he is, but he's always had in Tampa the last few years that great offensive coordinator.
01:07Zach Robinson doesn't inspire. And, look, Bowles is a football guy.
01:11He's not necessarily an inspirational head coach.
01:14So, I don't necessarily love the head coach or the coaching staff here, Dan,
01:19when you look at Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
01:21They need to be a more balanced team. To be taken seriously as a contender,
01:24the defense is going to have to be better.
01:26We know that Bowles loves his blitzing scheme, but despite all his blitzing,
01:30they didn't get home enough. So, his scheme needs to be better.
01:33The personnel needs to be better. I think the offense is going to be fine.
01:36It's just, is it good enough? It might be good enough for this division,
01:39but what is the ultimate goal for everyone?
