This is the athletic football show.

Welcome to the athletic football show.

I'm Robert Mays.

Joining me tonight.

It's my good friend Nate Tyson. How you doing, buddy? Doing great. There's a little countdown right there. Live from my apartment. It's Sunday night. Yeah, trust me. I was not ready for all of this setup. But I'm very excited. I'm very excited to be coming to people live after the games. It was an exciting weekend of football. And we have a ton to get to. So we're going to start with the Sunday night game that we just watched between the Saints and the Bucks. Buccaneers ended up winning this game 30 to 20. I think this game unfolded in a pretty similar way to what we would have imagined coming into it.

We imagined that the Bucks were going to be really aggressive defensively in a way that they weren't the last time these two teams played against each other.

They were.

They forced Drew Brees into a few key mistakes in this game.

So when you're thinking about the overall Bucks approach in this game, what do you think are the keys to what ended up kind of putting them

out in front? It was a lot, two man had its day today, both sides of the ball. It was like kind of exactly how we thought we'd play out because there's not going to be a lot of QB scrambling. So it was it was kind of how I played a lot of game, what a swing of scores, you know, a lot of changes with that.

You know, we thought a lot of lead changes.

So we kind of thought this game was going to be close and it played out that way until it pulled away at the end. But I mean, two of those interceptions were against two men. And we saw the whole day both teams knowing that they're getting that, trying to find ways to beat it. Because if the quarterback's not scrambling, it's pretty, pretty dang hard. So like that's, that's why, you know, Brady's force to throw back shoulder throws to Johnson in the fourth quarter because that's a two man beater because the, the corner has his, you know, back turn to him. You know, uh, the first interception, it was, uh, two man again. and on that one the guy just undercut him and even after that like you know it was just it was

exactly what the bucks are

going to play.

We talked about before. Bowles is just going to run what he wants to run. And when like he's going to run as two man, he's going to run a spot drop zone and he's going to bring some pressure. It was funny because actually we said, you know, Breeze is going to shred any pressure.

They brought pressure and he hit Treyquan Smith for the touchdown.

It was like, you know, he just caught him when he had to catch him.

But it was. It was funny because actually we said, you know, Breeze is going to shred any pressure. They brought pressure and hit Treyquant Smith for the touchdown.

It was like, you know, he just caught him when he had to catch it.

But it was exactly what the bucks were always going to do. They're going to run their stuff. They're going to run their shit. And then they're just going to make you try to beat them. And Breeze didn't make enough throws. some of those throws were looking very loopy.

You know, I said it looked like, you know, a Madden throw where he accidentally hit the button when you don't mean to.

And so the ball just lobs in there.
