00:00All right, time for which one Wednesday. I give you guys a scenario. Very simple. You tell me which one.
00:06All right, let's run.
00:07All right, all pencils down.
00:10Which are you more worried about?
00:12The Bucs run game having an on-court performance off their big week against the Panthers last week,
00:17or Baker Mayfield having a big day in the passing game?
00:22Go ahead, Bo.
00:25I mean, either one can beat you. We've seen.
00:27I would say more worried.
00:32Let me – I don't want to veer away from the wording,
00:36but I would rather go in and make sure I could shut down their run game
00:41because, A, if you're running the ball well, you're shortening the game,
00:47and so you're in a control-time possession.
00:50You'll wear defense down a little bit.
00:52You'll keep us off the field with our offense and keep your possession.
00:57And then, you know, and look, Baker's the guy that will give it to you as well.
01:01He'll throw you the football.
01:03If you play and you get him under pressure and you get him frustrated,
01:08he'll turn the football over.
01:12And I just don't want them controlling the clock and running it down our throats,
01:16and you end up in a shortened game where they kind of dominate,
01:19and it also allows them to pin that you kind of – you get out of your own game plan.
01:23Man, it's just too many things can go wrong in that situation.
01:26Here's where I'll land, and I just have to hear you say it.
01:29The only times they've been good this year is when they can run the football.
01:33All right, so if we can stop that, I think we stand a pretty good chance.
