00:00:00
Speaker 1: All right, inside here, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locker room with quarterback Jalen Daniels. Jalen, your first action in the NFL in the regular season. What's your biggest takeaway from today's game?
00:00:09
Speaker 2: You know, for one, you want to win football games. That's always the mission, especially at the quarterback position. You want to do everything that you can to go out there and be able to win football games. And we came up short today. And I feel like every single thing that doesn't go well, I'm going to put that on my shoulders. And I have to be able to be better in a lot of situations. And we're going to go forward and get ready for a Thursday night football game.
00:00:30
Speaker 1: What did work well? When you look at the positives from this game, what can you take from it?
00:00:34
Speaker 2: I mean, when you see us moving the ball, I think that the drive that we did score, we did a good job of being able to move the ball and not shooting ourselves in the foot. So at the end of the day, you know, I think that the more we're able to play our game and be able to stay consistent in that manner, we're able to go out there and be able to play our brand of football that we know we can play.
00:00:48
Speaker 1: How do you find that balance? I know you like to be aggressive. You like to use your legs. But how do you kind of find that balance of making sure that you don't evade the pocket too early?
00:00:55
Speaker 2: I think it's just a field thing. You have to be able to feel... where you are in the game, what position the game is in. And when you have to be aggressive, you know you have to be aggressive to be able to go out there and try to move the sticks. But when you know that you're in that tight game, you have to be able to maintain that consistency as well. So just trying to do everything that you can to be able to keep moving the sticks.
00:01:15
Speaker 1: And Jalen, finally, you have a game just a couple of days coming up. What's kind of the mindset? Quick to turn the page here. You've got a big Thursday night matchup in Dallas.
00:01:22
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Look at the film.
00:01:23
Speaker 2: Own it. Own what's on film. Get better from it and get ready to play Thursday night football.
00:01:26
Speaker 4: Thank you, Jalen.
00:01:27
Speaker 1: Back inside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locker room with guard Cody Mount. Cody, obviously a tough one today. When you kind of point to what went wrong on the offense with maybe some of the blocking schemes, what can you say?
00:01:39
Speaker 3: Probably just execution, you know, like at the end there. Just got to get a couple more yards to get a field goal. Yeah, you know, we're going for touchdowns, but just find that extra little bit, whatever you can do to maybe open up a hole. And yeah, just execution.
00:01:54
Speaker 1: When you have a guy like Jalen Daniels back there, what do you make of the rookie's performance?
00:01:58
Speaker 3: He had great energy all day. You know, he throws a pick, didn't face him. You know, he was bouncing back. That was good. You know, he thought he had a good presence in the huddle. I mean, he was athletic, made some plays with his feet, and definitely an easy guy to rally around. So we've got to be better for him for sure, though.
00:02:14
Speaker 1: What's the message within the group here? You've got a quick turnaround Thursday night against Dallas. What do you kind of tell everybody to try to find that gumption and get off the schneid here and pick up a dub?
00:02:23
Speaker 3: Yeah, just flush this one. It's on to the next. We've got to start getting into the prep and figure it out. It's just not doing it right right now.
00:02:32
Speaker 1: Cody, thank you. That was Cody Malk inside the locker room. We're going to stay right here inside the Buccaneers locker room. Bucs fall to the Packers 17-14 to drop to 0-4 on the season. We're going to chat with tight end Kate Otten here live on the Buccaneers postgame show. Kate, thanks so much for joining us. What's kind of the message to the group right now, 0-4 on the season, but You've got to try to keep on going because Thursday you've got another tough matchup in Dallas.
00:02:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's the same old story, which is frustrating. We've just got to scratch and claw, stay together, do whatever we can to rewrite this story. Everyone's going to count us out, but the reality is that's the first quarter of the season. We've just got to win each game, win each quarter throughout the rest of the season. That's just on us. No one's going to do it for us. No one's going to believe in us, but we know we can do it.
00:03:22
Speaker 1: A lot of one-score games, and it seems like you had the ball at the end of games, and it seems like there's a lot of optimism and a lot of energy on the sideline there. Does it hurt that much more just because you just come up that close and come up that short?
00:03:33
Speaker 4: Absolutely. Everyone in here is a competitor, and the goal is to win, and we're not doing it. And that's the bottom line.
00:03:44
Speaker 1: Finally, what can you make of Jalen Daniels' performance, the rookie under center? Even though he threw a couple picks, it seemed like he just kept going out there and putting his best foot forward.
00:03:51
Speaker 5: Absolutely.
00:03:52
Speaker 4: He has the ability. He has the leadership. We're all proud of the way he fought. Obviously, the quarterback has a microscope on what they do and how they execute, but the bottom line is everyone on the offense has to execute better.
00:04:09
Speaker 1: We're here inside the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locker room heading into the coach's office here with head coach Todd Bowles. Packers win this one 17-14. Coach, Obviously not the way we wanted to start this season. What's kind of the big message to the crew here? We got a quick turnaround on Thursday. How do you kind of keep the spirits up and let them know, like, hey, we got to keep on punching?
00:04:31
Speaker 5: Everybody got to hold themselves accountable. We got to execute better. We've been in one score games the last four weeks, and we know we got to play better all sides, all phases.
00:04:40
Speaker 1: Defensively, you knew you were going up in kind of a makeshift offensive line. I don't want to say upset, but Was there something that maybe they could have done a little bit more, something maybe you wanted to see as far as getting pressure on Jordan Love?
00:04:52
Speaker 5: Wasn't so much as the pressure. The ball was coming out. I thought we let three runs out. That shouldn't have got out. We got to play better. And we were very good at that, and that didn't happen. And they led to holding the ball a little bit more from a time standpoint. It's minor, but it's major.
00:05:07
Speaker 1: Two turnovers on defense, though. So that's obviously a step forward. I know you pride your defense on that. Is that something that hopefully you can take forward towards the next game and then the rest of the season?
00:05:16
Speaker 5: Well, we've been preaching it every week. The guy's been doing a good job practicing, so it's good to see it come to fruition.
00:05:21
Speaker 1: Offensively, rookie Jalen Daniels, a couple of turnovers, but it seemed like he was pretty composed back there. How would you assess his performance over four quarters?
00:05:29
Speaker 5: It was up and down. Obviously, the two turnovers you don't want, but the confidence level was there. He was poised in the pocket. He understood what he was doing, and we just got to make more plays and help him out.
00:05:40
Speaker 1: It's a quick turnaround again on Thursday. Is this kind of a little bit of a blessing to just get right back in there and not have a full week to think about this and just get right back out there and do your best on Thursday against Dallas?
00:05:50
Speaker 5: You always think about it for the day, but tomorrow we've got to get rolling and we've got to understand what we did so we can move forward and get better from there.
00:05:56
Speaker 1: Thank you, Coach.
Speaker 1: All right, inside here, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers locker room with quarterback Jalen Daniels. Jalen, your first action in the NFL in the regular season. What's your biggest takeaway from today's game?
