00:00Let's go to Falcons Buccaneers at Raymond James.
00:07Yeah, for the division, right?
00:09Both teams at four and three.
00:10The Falcons are in good health shape.
00:11In fact, they've been one of the healthiest teams in the NFL, but the Bucs, this is just
00:16awful.
00:17Mike Evans is not going to play for a while.
00:18He re-injured that right hamstring.
00:20And then Chris Godwin out for at least the regular season, dislocated ankle.
00:24It's brutal.
00:25Look, they're a team that wants to play a lot of free receiver sets.
00:29It's going to be hard.
00:30So what they're going to do with, they're going to go with Jalen McMillan, who's a third-round
00:34rookie at the University of Washington, who, by the way, he had an ankle injury.
00:38He missed time earlier this season, so he'll start on the outside.
00:41Probably Trey Palmer, second-year receiver out of Nebraska, he was a six-runner last
00:44year.
00:46This is hard.
00:47I mean, it's going to be hard for them to compete.
00:49You know, I picked them to win a division.
00:50I still think they would have done it had Godwin and Evans not gotten hurt, particularly
00:54Godwin.
00:55So they're in trouble in this game.
00:57To me, they're going to have to change the way that they play.
01:00They're going to have to run the ball more.
01:01I know that's not what maybe the OC wants to do.
01:05But when you look at Todd Bowles and that defense, they're going to have to play better.
01:08You saw what Lamar Jackson did to Scott.
01:10That was not good.
01:11And here's the other thing.
01:12Their best corner, Jamel Dean, is on IR.
01:14He went on IR right before the game on Monday night.
01:18He's on IR.
01:19He's got to serve three more games with a hamstring, and they're in major trouble in
01:21this game.
01:22And we'll talk more about this game as we break it down in the second segment.
01:25But injuries are absolutely impacting the Bucs' chances, not only in this game, but
01:29going for the rest of the season.
