0:00Regardless, he had surgery in the
0:01off-season and Twitter
0:06you know, summer, fall, whatever. To me,
0:07that was always just like coach speak.
0:09When a coach comes out and is like,
0:10"Yeah, we want to get this guy 35 to 40
0:11touches a game." It's like, coaches
0:13don't really don't know what they're
0:13talking about when they say things. They
0:15just like, you know, say things and it's
0:16it's whatever to them. And then, 2
0:18seconds later, Bucky was like at OTAs.
0:20Summer, fall, whatever. To me, that was
0:22always just like coach speak. And then,
0:242 seconds later, Bucky was like at OTAs.
0:26Be pretty good to go by regular season.
0:29>> started to pile up and there was just
0:31haziness. We didn't know what the hell
0:33was going on. Is he injured? Is it real?
0:35Is it serious? Oh, now he's got a
0:37shoulder. Is there some psychological
0:40component to it? Like, there was a lot
0:41of moving parts to the story.
0:43Long story short, he, from my
0:45understanding, he had the shoulder
0:46repaired, likely a labrum repair. The
0:49time frame was obviously a little bit
0:50different. These usually take about 6
0:52months to allow full contact, at least
0:54in this sport, which is why he's not
0:56full go yet. But, I'm not really worried
0:58about it, but I also think that him and
1:01Kenneth Gainwell have a lot of
1:03overlapping traits.
1:04>> situation there. Like, his opportunity
1:06ceiling. He'll be a good player for
1:07them, but between Kenneth Gainwell
1:09catching passes, like, they could have
1:10they could have resigned Rashaad White
1:12for $2 million. So, it's like, clearly
1:13they had a plan for Gainwell to be that
1:15guy. And then, Sean Tucker takes a lot
1:17of the goal line work there, too. Like,
1:18I don't think anyone's going to look
1:19back and be like,
1:20>> But, I I'm going to fade him. I like the
1:22talent, but the situation come And the
1:24other thing that money tells me is they
1:26can't trust him. That's what that tells
1:28me. And and which isn't surprising,
1:30right? He's already had his And he's not
1:31the biggest guy, right? So,
1:33unfortunately,
1:34they're probably going to pull him off
1:36in terms of volume. They're probably
1:38going to give him more of the Rashaad
1:39White role, I guess we'll call it. Um
1:41which is probably not what you want if
1:44Gainwell is healthy. And especially if
1:46Tucker's healthy, cuz then you're in
1:47this ugly three-headed monster and
1:50really no one is getting you enough
1:52points to be happy with a start.
1:53>> Yeah, and that's the downside of Bucky's
1:55like a fun story being a fourth-round
1:57breakout, but when you're a fourth-round
1:59player, it's like teams are quick to
2:01move on if you're not what have you done
2:03for me lately type of league. So, we'll
2:04sign a guy, we'll draft a guy, and
2:06before you know you're a cautionary
2:07tale. Hopefully, it doesn't happen to
2:08Bucky. He's going to be good on early
2:10downs, I think, for the most part, but
2:11it's a it's a sticky situation there.
