question: When can we expect news about the QB1 battle between Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield? Is there hope for the coaching staff at this point, or is it an open competition?

answer: It’s definitely an open competition, and it hasn’t really started yet. Phase 1 The first two weeks of the program consist of activities limited to meetings, strength and conditioning, and physical rehabilitation. This continues for his next three weeks in the program.
Field workouts can be done at Phase 2. These include individual or group coaching and drills, and “perfect play drills” and drills and plays performed at a walk-through pace, with offensive players lined up opposite offensive players and defensive players lined up opposite defensive players. may be included. No live contact or team offense versus team defense practice will be allowed until Phase 3.
Phase 3 The program consists of the following four weeks. Teams may conduct a total of 10 days of organized team practice activities, or “OTAs”. Live contact is not allowed, but 7-on-7, 9-on-7, 11-on-11 drills are allowed. Bucs will launch his OTA on May 23rd. This is where the Baker Mayfield vs. Kyle Trask race begins in earnest.
Neither the coaches nor the Bucks front office prioritize which quarterback wins the competition. Trask is his second-round pick from hometown, and the franchise wants to see him develop into a starter. At the same time, Tampa Bay wouldn’t mind seeing Mayfield develop into a Geno Smith-type veteran Comeback Player of the Year contender. Quarterback succeeds. It doesn’t matter who gets the job done.
question: How fleshed out is Dave Canales’ playbook at this point? How much has QB digested?
answer: We’ll have the chance to speak with Dave Canales at Wednesday’s press conference and find out more then. My guess here is that his playbook is complete or nearly complete at this stage. If Canales gets a chance to see what his players can and can’t do during his OTAs and mini-camps, there’s no doubt that adjustments will be made for his summer training camps.
As for quarterbacks, both Kyle Trask and Baker Mayfield are regulars at spontaneous offseason workouts at the AdventHealth training center. Phase 2 had just started and during phase 1 the coach was not allowed to talk to the players about football and strength he coach and conditioning his coach only. However, in Phases 2 and 3, coaches can meet with players to find out how they play and watch movies together.
So based on the timetable, both Trask and Mayfield are still very early in the process of digesting Canales’ system, which builds on what Seattle has done in the last few years. Advertised as “friendly to the user” and easy to learn, we are confident it will help speed up the learning process for both quarterbacks ahead of training camp this spring.
question: Now that the draft has come and gone without the Bucks drafting a new QB, how well will Kyle Trask or Baker Mayfield have to play to keep the Bucks from dealing with the QB position next offseason? Huh? I feel that TD vs. INT is 3:1 and around 4,000 yards may be the limit..

answer: Outside of injuries, one of four things will happen to the Bucks’ quarterback position at training camp this summer. Either Baker Mayfield becomes the better quarterback and wins, or Kyle Trask beats the veteran to win the starting job, or both quarterbacks rise to the occasion, or both QBs fail, Tampa Bay has to choose one.
Bucks head coach Todd Bowles, general manager Jason Licht and offensive coordinator Dave Canales all want one thing from their quarterback. they want to win So, regardless of whether that quarterback throws at 4,000 or 3,000 yards, or has a TD to INT ratio of 3:1, or a TD to INT ratio of 2:1, if that quarterback has Bucs this year he’s Eight wins, or Tampa Bay reclaims top spot in the NFC South.
Remember, Tom Brady passed for 4,694 yards with 25 touchdowns and nine interceptions last year. This is not a 3:1 ratio he has, but the Bucs have only won eight games. That being said, Seattle’s Jenno Smith passed for 4,282 yards for 30 touchdowns and 11 touchdowns in his first Pro Bowl season last year.
question: The national media thinks Tom Brady single-handedly led the Bucks to the playoffs. There’s no way the Bucs would be in the bottom five of his NFL power rankings or be the worst team in the NFC South. What’s the deal with ultra-low expectations?
answer: I think you’re as good as mine The Saints signed veteran quarterback Derek Carr, the Falcons spent a lot of money signing a bunch of free agents on both sides of the ball, and the Panthers gave Alabama quarterback Bryce Young an all-rounder. spent the #1 draft pick in the But I think the Bucks have really improved their roster this offseason, too. As I wrote, I think Tampa Bay had a home run rout. Fab 5 in SR last Friday.
But there will be many skeptics in the state media. NBC Sports’ Peter King, Who ranked the Bucks 31st out of 32 NFL teams in the offseason rankings? reason? Of course Tom Brady is gone. Brady has been stellar in Tampa Bay for the past three years, but he hasn’t played his best in 2022. The Bucks could have won more games this season without him (maybe he’s nine) than they did with him. last year.
Outside linebacker Shaq Barrett, defensive tackle Vita Bear, linebackers Devin White and Labonte David, safety Antoine Winfield Jr., center Ryan Jensen, offensive tackle Tristan Wirfs, wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris.・Godwin. Not to mention the pair of potential Pro Bowl cornerbacks Carlton Davis III and Jamel Dean. Even without Brady, there are still plenty of talents to win in Tampa Bay.
No individual talent wins the game today. Teams do. And soccer may be the most team-oriented sport. But if this group can play together and bounce back from their underwhelming season a year ago, I wouldn’t rule out the Bucks posting a winning record and possibly another trip to the playoffs. It all depends on the quarterback’s play in this quarterback-led league. If I were Todd Bowles, I’d cut out all the negative talk from these low-rankings and skeptics and use it as motivation for this year’s team.
question: Does it mean that the team signing Sean Tucker freed him from a reported heart condition?

answer: No, not yet. Sean Tucker has had his three-year highly productive career at Syracuse and in 2021 he has tallied 1,496 rushes and his 12 touchdowns, averaging 6.1 yards per carry. bottom. Last year, Tucker ran for 1,060 yards and 11 TDs while averaging 5.1 yards per carry. While preparing for the 2023 NFL Draft, the junior back was flagged with an undisclosed heart condition at the NFL Scouting Combine.
That discovery derailed his chances of being drafted, but it didn’t mean the end of his NFL dreams. The condition is expected to clear up in time, but Tucker is still not medically cleared to participate in football activities. One team source said the Bucks would have to undergo a battery of tests that they would have to pass before they could be medically cleared.
The hope is that Tucker will be medically clear either by or during training camp and move up to at least 4th on the depth charts. Tampa Bay has only one running back under contract for next year, and that is starter Rashard White. Ke’Shawn Vaughn was in a contract year and Chase Edmonds only signed his one-year deal. If he recovers and plays well, Tucker could move up to second place in time.
Question: A. A lot of upgrades to the D line coming after the draft, but mostly to stop the run, do you think you need to sign a big 300+ lb lineman to play along Vita Vea?
answer: The Bucks signed nose tackle Greg Gaines this offseason to replace backup Rakeem Nunez Roches, who left this offseason to play for the New York Giants. Gaines is a 6-foot-1, 317-pound player who played with his Vea at the University of Washington. The two are friends and look forward to reuniting at his bay in Tampa.
Tampa Bay is now believed to have five of the six defensive linemen left on the team’s roster this season. stalwart Pat O’Connor, and this year’s first-round nominee Karija Kansi are all but certain to make a 53-man squad. The only problem is that only Vea and Gaines are over his 300lbs.
All of a sudden, the Bucs are smaller in size on the front. Hall is 296 pounds and he’s approaching 300 pounds, Cuncy is 281 pounds and O’Connor is in the 270s. Back-up nose tackle Deadlin Senat is 6’1″, 305″, Mike Green is 293″, and Willington Previron is 287″. Line situation with smaller Bucks and faster up front this year.
Hakeem Hicks could also be an option, but Will Golston would be my best bet to go back to a cheap one-year deal to help Tampa Bay’s run defense. Packing runs by the pound is his specialty.
question: Will the Bucks sign Zeke Elliott or prefer Rashard White as lead back?
answer: This is a quick and easy answer. Rachaad White will lead in Tampa Bay, or at least be its first crack. The Bucks won’t sign former Cowboys veteran Ezekiel Elliott. Chase Edmonds is a veteran freelancer who signed this offseason as an agent and Dave Canales’ wide zone he feels he would be better suited to the scheme.
