saving our best episode of the week for last, because we have a guest joining us at this

day.

I'm your host, Matt Mitarra. Join with me as the faceer runs the place at pewterreport.com,

SR. And joining us is the box fourth round pick from last season. We're very excited to

see him take the field and help Tampa Bay this season. It is David Walker. David, thank

you so much for joining the show this afternoon. How's life treating you?

Man, first of all, thank you guys for having me. It's a pleasure to be on here just to talk

with you guys. It's been good. I've been rehabbing it up. I'm just trying to get back out there.

You're an Arkansas right now. How's your off season going?

It's going good. I just got here a couple of days ago, but I've been in Tampa training,

but they let me get a couple of days off to come see family and friends before things

heat back up.

Very cool. So how is that rehab process going for you? Because really the last time

while I saw you on Locker checkout day, unfortunately, after the season ended for a brief minute

there. But you and I, we were doing the Bucks training camp diary. And then all of a sudden,

unfortunately on July 28th, that that knee didn't cooperate. And you had a 20 ACL and all of a

sudden your rookie season was over before it started just a couple days in the training camps. How far

along are you in your rehab schedule? And how is that knee feeling?

It's been feeling good. It's been ups and downs. Like with the knee, you have good days,

you have bad days. But for the majority of the part, man, it's been good. The team there at the

Bucks, one book, doing an amazing job, trying to get me back as fast as I can. But the knee is

feeling good. It's feeling healthy, hoping to be ready before training camp starts.

Awesome.

Great to hear. Just curious what your experience was like going through the season.

Unfortunately, not playing, but getting to watch the speed of the NFL at the highest level of the

game and kind of watching and learning the Bucks defense through film rather than being on the field.

Yeah, I feel like it was a good thing. Like Coach Bow said, man, use this season as a red

shirt season, learn as much as you can, learn the defense, just see how the NFL is ran during

the season. And I feel like that was a good good standpoint for me to sit back as a rookie.

So this year, I can know what I'm, know what to expect, know what to go into and have a head start

at it. I call it a little bit like a red shirt year for you so you can kind of hit the ground

running this upcoming season. But do you remember at the time, maybe not exactly when you got injured,

but when you found out that you were going to be out for the season, do you recall like,

were you, was it upsetting? Were you somber? Were you just ready to kind of attack each day as it

came to, you know, get even more motivated for when you were able to return? Yeah, for me, it was all

types of emotions. I know that my faith and what I, what my foundation is and that's a price

follower first. I knew that man, he didn't bring me this far to bring me this far. I knew that,

what was his store, man, he has so much plan for me. So when I got injured, I knew right away that

I was done. The trainers asked me like, oh, we need MRI, we need to see. I was like, I already know.

And I feel like it was not a relief, but it was like, okay, we've been an attack rehab and we're

going to come back better than ever next year. You know, David, I did that, that interview with you,

probably about a month or so ago for my SRSFAB five column, you know, you kind of opened up about

some of the things we're going to talk about today and and appreciate your, your candidness, you know,

there's a little bit of a myth about you. You've become a little bit of a myth because I think

fans who were super excited about the potential that you that you had, right? And coming from

Central Arkansas 39 sacks in four years, your floor was eight sacks in terms of seasons and then

you had two double digit sacks seasons, including I think you had 12 and a half sacks in one year.

And then for this, this team to really kind of underwhelm as, you know, as, as a past rushing

defense, just 37 sacks last year, far sort of the goal of 50 that Todd Bulls had. You know,

Jason Light, the guy who drafted you is very optimistic about you and is probably just as excited

to see you on the field as you are to get back out there. What is what are your feelings about that?

And is there any extra added pressure and having to kind of go through the season without football

and then to come back with some high expectations about maybe catching up on the season that could

have been for you. Yeah, for me, man, I wouldn't have it having either of the way. I like the pressure.

I like when the pressure is against me because I feel like that's when I perform the best.

When people doubt me, when people say things about me, I just let my gang speak for itself.

I like a quote in the scripture. It says, they hated me first. So they're going to hate you too.

So I just used that as like, man, God bless me with this ability to play this game and ability to

even be up and up until this point of the NFL. And I feel like, man, if I go out there and I waste it,

that's a waste, you know, and so when I go out there, I want to give it my all. If we win, lose,

if I don't get the sack, I can do anything just to help the team out. To be in the better spot,

than we were last year. Yeah. Do you think that you'll you'll have a chance to be ready for OTAs

in the mini camp or or is the goal really to be ready just by training camp?

The trajectory ahead and on right now, man, I really don't know. It's up to the to the trainers.

How good they feel. The confidence they have in my knee and the confidence that I have,

ultimately, I hope hoping to be ready for mini camp, but either are you able to do any running

and jumping right now? Is that part of your recovery right now? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm on phase

like phase three. So we're doing the cutting, the running. It's been good. How many phases are there

if you're on phase three? I'll just say as a phase three. I really don't know. Okay. Got you.

All right. Yeah. One step at a time for sure. And I know box fans are going to be very excited to

see you start playing whenever you do return and hit the field. But curious during this this rehab

process, I'm sure it could be arduous at times and, you know, a grind as well. So I want to,

if there's anyone in your circle in your corner that's kind of motivated you throughout this rehab

process, anyone that's kind of been a positive voice in your ear when you're working day to day.

Yeah. I can say my family and my friends. They knew right away, man. They knew that I was

going to attack the rehab because that's just the type of guy that that's how I carry myself.

They knew that I really didn't need too much motivation. I just needed to say that there's

better days. There's going to be better days and what you believe in guy's going to bring you through

it. And a big addition is my coach. He's a big, he's a big Christian too, Larry foot.

Yeah. Just him pressing in every day, checking out when he can and man, that's that's really,

that's been really good. Let's talk about it. Yeah. Let's talk about Larry foot real quick. Yeah.

Yeah. Love his coaching style. I mean, there was times that he had shoulder on at practice and

Larry joked about that. He would need to, you know, ice up himself like the players because of

how intense he is. But yeah, your thoughts on on coach foot and his coaching demeanor.

Yeah. I like it. He's going to, he's going to push you. He's going to always challenge you

each day to get better. And his, his, his, his, oh, wow. His little slogan is,

man, lose weight. So you can run like a deer. He really want us to, man, always be chasing because

that I feel like that's where the sacks come from, the effort. Yeah. And he preached at every day,

effort, effort, effort. And that's something that that was instilled in me. And I can't wait to

be out there to be able to play for him. Speaking of height and weight, you, you wait about 260,

maybe a couple of pounds heavier than that in the off season last year. But where are you now in

terms of, of your size, you know, and losing weight and getting stronger, I'm sure you've used

this time in the weight room to, you know, to really kind of refine your body from a college player

to an NFL player. Yeah. I want to, I'm going to let it 250 seven. I want to get down to like

252 to try to stay around it range and to be able to run like a deer like hosted. Yeah.

You know, it's interesting because at the combine last year, you, you had a really good workout,

right? And, and that was kind of coming off of a really good performance at the senior bowl.

We'll get into that in just a little bit. But one of the things that kind of amazed me,

and I think maybe amazed Buck and Ear fans. And I'm sure you probably saw

Ted Johnson, right, to be able to do those cartwheels and back flips and in all of that type of

stuff, you know, at, what is he, 5, 1055 pounds, right? You know, but I don't think fans can

maybe understand or appreciate what goes into that. But I think maybe you, you can understand

what goes into those types of gymnastics. And I think we have that video queued up.

Yeah. This is from you at the, the combine, I believe.

Oh, yeah. Holy smokes. That's, I mean, that's incredible. That is incredible. David, I mean,

doing that at 260 plus pounds, when, when have you, when did you first start into your gymnastics

career? Yeah. We've been, man, since, since a kid, my older cousin, my brothers, they always

flip, always flipping off houses, always flipping off things. So flipping, I've always known how to

flip it never left. Yeah. It's just, I just got a little bigger. Flipping off of houses.

Yeah. Yeah. We used to do everything. Anything we could flip off of, we used to do it.

Oh, my goodness. So I guess when Jason late says you're an athletic freak, that's kind of what he

means, that you're able to, to do flips and, and, and, and cartwheels and stuff like that at,

at that size, that's, that's, that's pretty amazing. So what were you able to learn about

the NFL level of play, just from watching games and watching film, you know, how did you use that

a red shirt season to, did you dive into becoming more of a student of the game, watch more film and

try to, you know, learn the non-conventional way from, from not being out there?

Yeah. Yeah. So for, uh, man, they put us in a, a little plan, um, so that we don't get bored.

So every Thursday, uh, we go in with the Scales and we, uh, watched, watched, uh, the next

opponent, uh, just scouting their tackles and scouting like the little stuff that, uh, maybe that I miss,

or that maybe that little missing film. And, uh, just for me, man, the biggest thing that I took out of

it is just the pace and like the effort, effort of the game. I feel like, uh, a lot of guys that

get higher number sacks or make a lot of plays is about the effort. Um, I feel like, uh, with that,

or if you have effort and with, with the, with the film study and with knowing the plays and knowing

the concepts, man, the game's gonna slow down a whole lot. Yeah. You were only with Levante David

for just a short period of time on the field, but you were around them all last year as you were,

we're in the building and the complex and watching the games. There's a big void to fill from a

leadership perspective with Levante David retiring. Who do you see in the locker room that is an

up and coming leader? You know that Vivae has the sea on the chest. Antoine Field Junior has the

sea on the chest, but, but who do you, who do you look at as, as maybe someone that could come in

and, and perhaps wear a sea on the chest to, to, you know, kind of fill that leadership void and

help out Antoine and beat it from that perspective. Yeah. I'll say, I'll say Yaya. Um, I think Yaya,

he's, he's becoming, he's stepping into that role of becoming a, uh, a vocal leader. He always

led by example. He always did the little things. Now he's, uh, he's gonna have to step up even more

since our, uh, captain left or retired. Um, but yeah, I'll say Yaya.

When it comes to off the field stuff, because there's a lot of focus and, and regimented structure

when it comes to on the field, but off the field, given the situation you were in being unable to play,

I remember, Daniel McMillan, he obviously went through a serious injury in the preseason. He was

out for a while, didn't come back till December. And he talked a lot about kind of like keeping his

mind right off the field with, he got into other hobbies, like he was reading more, he got into

cooking and things like that. So for you, was there anything that you kind of took up interest

in a little bit more, maybe besides football, any other hobbies that that came about from your time

off the field? Yeah. Uh, for me, I'm, I love gaming. Uh, I got into a game anymore, uh, I've had

spare time and, um, this, uh, in my church, uh, finding more community, finding people to, uh,

to hang out with and, uh, just, uh, trying to serve, uh, anywhere I can, outside of football.

With the games, did you, did you play? I was going to ask you the obvious question there.

Yeah, yeah. I'm, I'm a big 2k player. I love 2k. Um, I love it. I play Fortnite,

NCAA, Madden. So those, those sport games really? Yeah, me too, uh, big on NHL, big on Madden,

uh, NCAA, even though, I know, it's kind of tough. I haven't totally mastered it just yet,

but who's, do you got to go to team in 2k when you're playing? Oh, I play parks, so I put

my own player. Oh, God, yeah. Yeah. Okay. 2k, uh, uh, Lakers. I'm a Lakers fan. There you go.

All right. Cool. There you go. Uh, why don't you get back? Well, I don't want to say that.

Let me, let me ask you about Madden here. Do you, do you play with the Buccaneers or, is there

any? Come on. That's the only, that's the only team I'll play with. Okay. And I serve myself in,

too. I love it. Have you leveled up to your best deals? Oh, yeah. Yeah. People, uh, people will

DM me all the time. I said, bro, I just pulled you for eight in a card. Uh, you're a 99 overall

and all that. So that's pretty cool to see. Well, scored with the Bucks. Huh? What's the most

points that you scored with the Bucks like playing with that? Probably 60. All right. Yeah. That's

pretty, pretty good day for the, uh, Jack Robinson. Yeah. Um, want, want to get back real quick,

though. Uh, it's been awesome. You talk a lot about how faith-based you are and how important

that is to you. And that's really great to see. We've seen you post a lot about that as well.

And, um, you were at church when, when Bucky Irving got baptized. How important is your faith to

you and how cool is it to be there for Bucky in that moment for him and, and kind of build that

community with your fellow teammates in, in your faith? Yeah. Uh, man, faith, I feel like faith brings

us all together, um, because it's one common goal that, uh, that we have and we're trying to

grow closer to Jesus Christ. And, um, just being there with Bucky, just being alongside him

through this whole journey. Uh, it's been cool to see. I've been cool to see the ups and downs,

I've been cool to see the, um, man, I'm going to turn my life over and give it to, um, to Jesus.

And, and when he asked me to come, I was like, bro, yes, I'll be there. I mean, uh, it was, it was,

it was awesome. And you documented that, too, before, before, it was the Cardinals game, right?

Or the Saints game? Yeah. Yeah. I think, yeah. The game before he came back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. When, when you, um, when you see these free agents signings, uh, from the Bucky Niers,

hope that we lose David there for a second. Might have lost David. Uh, potentially. Yeah.

If I, it happens from time to time. Yeah. Technology is great when it works. Yeah. Notice,

uh, some people having some messages for David as well. We will get to that when, uh, whenever David

is, uh, is able to return. But, um, yeah, enjoying the interview so far. So we'll see when David is

able to, uh, get back to us. Yeah. Let's put up a couple of those comments here real quick. Um,

yeah. For sure. Um, Jay Lewis said I'm rooting for you, man. Um,

sat down had a question about, uh, Jacob Rodriguez or how high would you draft Jacob Rodriguez?

How, how would I draft David Rodriguez? Pretty high. We'll get to that, uh, in just a moment,

I think I see David returning to action here for us in the chat. But yeah, I mean, um,

you know, I look at it like this. You need a playmaking linebacker. And like, what,

what made Lavante David great takeaways, right? This guy takes it away like nobody's business.

I'll get back into to that as well. But, uh, we are joined once again by David Walker. David,

I love that. Love that picture of you right there, man. That's, that's fantastic. Appreciate it.

Sorry about that. No worries. I know where it's like technology is great when it works.

Happens us on the show. Yeah. Yeah. No worries. Yeah. No worries at all. Uh, where were we,

though, Matt, uh, Matt, we were talking about, um, uh, your, your faith and, and uh, and bringing

Bucky to get baptized and all that, that's, that's fantastic. David, in my conversations with you

and what, from what I've heard, when football is over and hopefully it's not like until a long time

from now, and we would love to see you in a bucket in your uniform for like 10 years or so.

But, uh, is, is, is preaching in your future? Is that something that you want to do?

Um, I don't know. I don't know. Um, it's really whatever the Lord's calling me to.

Um, that just comes with Tom in the secret place and, um, just trying to hear for him.

But I do see myself getting into, to ministry, like serving, um, even FCA, just being around the

aspect of athletes and helping, helping people grow outside of football. I started their sport

because one day that sport's going to end. Yeah. And a lot of people don't know which way to turn

and a lot of people are confused because they've been so wrapped up and consumed. Yeah.

With, uh, their sport, you know, and it's just been good just to see how people in my life

to speak into my life and tell me that there's more, that there's going to be more.

Yeah. Well, before then, you got a lot of football to play for the Bucky near.

And we're like, we're looking forward to that. But, you know, is about this time last year.

I mean, we're almost in April here. And, you know, you were doing the pro days and the circuit and,

you know, and all of that stuff, trying to figure out where you're going to get drafted coming out

of Central Arkansas. And, um, it's wanted to kind of rewind a little bit and kind of dive back

into that time because I'm sure you had NIL offers to go elsewhere, right? But you, you stayed,

you went from Southern Arkansas to Central Arkansas. I played there for three years.

Actually played there with, uh, with Jack or with Jake Golding, uh, the linebacker who's now

at Cincinnati and is actually a draft prospect. The Bucky near is actually had a formal interview

with Jake at the combine. And have you had any conversations with, with Jake at all,

your former teammate at Central Arkansas? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, we got the, um, the cool thing about it.

We have the same agent. So, uh, we're, we're constantly talking. I actually just talked to him

yesterday about how his pro day and stuff went because they had pro day yesterday. Yeah.

He's been good. He's been doing good. So is he going to come in for an official 30 visit with the

Bucks, do you know? Man, I hope so. I'm telling them, um, every time I pass the guys, I'm like,

hey, you got to get that go day kit. And, uh, hopefully, hopefully, uh, they go through with it.

Yeah. He looks like a linebacker. They can help the Bucky nearest for sure.

All right. What do you remember about your time kind of going through this process, meeting with

several teams? Um, do you remember like any conversations you had with the Bucks at the time or just

kind of like the crazy going on essentially these job interviews and auditions to meet with

all these teams and then eventually landing in Tampa Bay? Yeah. Um, man, it was, it was wild.

You know, as a kid, you dream about this. You dream about, um,

planning the NFL, planning the next level. And when you got that opportunity,

when you're at the combine, when you're at the senior bowl and you're doing all these meetings,

it was kind of repetitive, but I was like, man, this is, this is also like a meeting with

all these NFL teams and like, uh, I got a potential shot of planning the NFL. And, um,

it was, it was exhausting, but dude, I wouldn't trade it for anything. It was, it was a cool experience.

We saw you at the senior bowl and you got a sack in the senior bowl game, but you really showed

during that week of practice that you belonged going up against division one caliber talent.

And before we, we loved you, um, due to that, that technical difficulty, I was asking you about

staying at Central Arkansas, right? Because I'm sure you had some NIL offers to go elsewhere.

But what made you want to stay there rather than try to level up and maybe get some more money,

but, but, you know, play in an, in an upper level of competition.

Yeah, man, it was definitely tempting. But, uh, for me, my brother, my brother was transferring and,

he had the opportunity to come play at UCA with me. And I never got to play with my younger brother.

So it was like, it was like a no brainer. I was, America leads the world in medicine development.

It matters. We get new medicines first, nearly three years faster.

Five million Americans go to work because we make medicines here at home,

and not relying on other countries keeps us safe. But China is racing to overtake us.

Will we let them or will we choose to stay ahead? When America leads, America cures.

Let's tell Washington to keep us in the lead.

Learn how at AmericaCures.com, paid for by Pharma.

Sightman, uh, this would be cool to get the opportunity to play with him.

And then I was 10 sacks and TTI, 10 Toggle fell also away from the all-time record here at UCA.

So I was like, I can go somewhere else and get a few sacks.

But here, I can be forever some in it. And, um, that was, that was, that was pretty cool to do.

It's very cool. When we saw you at the senior bowl, um, what,

what makes you such an effective pass rusher? What are, what are the traits that you feel like you

possess that, that have led you to the NFL and, and what, what, what makes you successful,

get into the quarterback? Yeah, it's just, it's just a fill. Uh, I feel like, um, it's the

fill of the game. Uh, as I'm rushing, um, I'm continuing just to find little ways to, um,

to see, see how I can beat him. Um, I get, you know, you're not going to win every rep, but those

reps I don't win, I'm finding ways like, okay, uh, he, he shoots his hands a little lower. Okay,

I'm going to do this. And so it's just, it's just really a chess game throughout the whole game.

And for me, it's my motor. Uh, I'm going to continue. I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep coming.

I'm going to keep coming and eventually one of us got to break and, uh, hope, and, uh, and then,

hoping that that's not me. So, um, um, um, that's, that's just what kind of separates me from other

people. When you look at your, your sack production and all of that, I, I look at you in one of the

reasons why I'm really excited about your potential here in Tampa is your instincts.

And you're talking about the feel for past rush that that's something that not every past

rusher has. And I think the, the great ones, uh, have those instincts, those, those little

intangible traits and part of it is football. Like you, like you said, you're, you're constantly

processing. What did he do? What's my counter and, and understanding that chess game? But, um,

when did you feel like you really had the instincts to be a past rusher? Was that in pop

Warner, middle school, high schools? Wasn't it, you know, did it not happen to you? Got to college?

When, when did you feel like a quarterback counter? Yeah, um, man, I didn't start playing,

I didn't start playing edge until, until my last year, well, I mean, my, uh,

sophomore year of high school. So I was always a linebacker in the running back. So,

I kind of saw it from two different perspectives of, um, on the offensive side, like,

what are, what are they doing in on a defensive side? Like, how can I, how can I beat this guy?

How can I get around him just, uh, 10th of a second? I feel like it just really came when, um,

from film study, just taking that, maxing pieces from like, uh, rubber math is and the white

freining of those guys, um, just seeing how the little, like not the little guys, but the,

the lower, uh, height guys, how are they winning? How are they being the best toggles in the world?

And I feel like, man, I just ref did, ref did, ref did, ref did so many times. It's like,

it just comes natural. You mentioned mostly playing, uh, linebacker and running back in high school.

What was your best game on either side? Like, you know, there's always talks about Derek Henry

having insane games of like over 300 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Uh, do you remember any,

any of your best games, whether at linebacker edge or at running back?

Yeah. Uh, for, for me, when I play edge mile sophomore year, I think I have, um,

three and a half sacks, um, interception, um, like four and a half tactical laws.

It was, it was, it was crazy. It was, it was a crazy day.

And then you talked about some of the, uh, players that you watched, anything you picked up from

your teammates, uh, on the box, uh, just either past rushing moves, techniques, film, or watching

them in games and that practice. Yeah. Um, man, really just, uh, just a, just a power in the,

the get off, um, I like, I like, yeah, yeah, I like, yeah, yeah, just get off. And, um, the times

you do use this power, man, it's, it's really effective. Uh, just seeing how he set it up

throughout the game and that that was pretty cool to see. And even when Hassan was there when he

wasn't, uh, kind of banged up, uh, just seeing how he get off the ball so fast and his instincts,

uh, to not run up field, uh, to, uh, to stop, uh, to, to mirror the quarterback and just,

just those little things, man, um, I feel like that's gonna help my game a lot.

You mentioned getting an interception back in high school, um, much to the fans should

grin because I think they want to see pass rushers rush the pass or tide bowls. He's been known

to drop his, his edge rushers into coverage. Yeah. You know, um, you know, and, and the funny

thing is when I talk to you guys about it, like, it's not like, it's not like you guys really care

because the sacks are great, but you guys really want interceptions or talking to Yaya about

that and he's just like, he's like, yeah, I mean, I want to rush the passer. I want to get sacks,

but man, it'd be cool to get a pick or a pick six. Oh, yeah. Man, it would be, that'd be, that'd be

awesome to get a pick six and you finally get this other break because you got to touch down

and that'd be cool. Yeah. You have good hands? Yeah. I do. Who has the best hands out of the

outside linebacker room? Ah, I'm gonna be biased. I'm gonna say me. Okay. There you go. I like the

confidence. Yeah. Speaking of having good hands, you need good hands to strum the guitar. I noticed

on your social media, you post a guitar here and there. Do you play guitar? Do you know any songs?

Yeah. I'm, uh, man, my buddy that I played a ball with at UCA. He taught a self out of play

guitar and he gave me his old guitar and it was like, man, you should learn. Uh, so, so I've been

learning, I've been trying to learn that's the new hobby too, man, get into music. Awesome. So, uh,

any, any songs yet are still in the early stages? Oh, I'm still, I'm still learning a minor in

now that so. Okay. Are there any players outside of, of Jake Goldey that, that you know personally or

maybe through your agent or just through, you know, being in the football realm that you,

that you know in this year's draft class? No. That's the only one I've really been

paying and paying close to taking two. Okay. We have a super chat here I wanted to get to because

it pertains to you. This is from Matt Hinkson $2. Are you keeping number 51? We're changing this

year. That's a good question. Uh, I'm keeping 51. All right. I got to keep it. Too many people,

got the jerseys and stuff. So, and I feel like it's going to fit me. Yeah. I like that. Like

you have 51. Um, what, what type of a pass rush moves have you been able to practice? Or is this,

have you, have you not even gotten into football yet? Or, or I guess what I'm saying is like, you know,

there's certain moves that you have perfected getting to this level. I'm sure you want to really

work on your craft. But has that kind of been put on hold a little bit with the rehab from the

knee? Or are you, are you able to really kind of get into some, some pass rushing moves as part

of your rehab yet? Yeah. Yeah. I've been, um, I'm just slowly getting back into it. We've been kind

of doing like get off, um, get off the retrace. Um, but for me, man, I'm a, I'm being on speed and

power. Uh, I love the double swipe. I love all that. But that, that comes off like feeling

what the offensive line is giving me. Um, but yeah, I mean, you can never stop perfecting your hands

or getting better at your hands each day. You're a little bit of an underrated guy when it comes to,

to the run game too. I mean, the, you know, the first thing people look at is all right,

the 39 sacks, but I want to say you have eight, is it 82 tackles for losses?

Yeah. Your career. I mean, that's insane. Dude, that, that's, that's not just sacks. That's,

right. That's one fall into that. Right. Yeah. You have in, in stopping the run and your ability

to penetrate and, and get those TFLs. Yeah. It, for me, it's just, is just as much as getting a

sack. Um, I know the sacks are, uh, what gets people paid and like, but you got to do the dirty

work first, uh, my coach at UCA, he always stress men. You got to stop the run for you can go get

the money. Um, and so man, we emphasize, um, slap punches every day. We emphasize all the little

things first and then third down is coming because you got to get the first down second down before

you get to, to rest the password. So, um, that was a big emphasis on us. And usually that, you

want those guys in third and eight, third and 10, third and 12, right? Cause then that's, that's

where the sacks come. The third and two and third and three. Yeah, maybe not an opportunity to

get a sack. Yeah, like any five to me, Bob there. So, exactly. Yeah. So we're talking about

password moves. I'm sorry, real quick. I just wanted before I forget. Um, what, what do your go-to

moves as they stand right now? And then what types of moves are you looking to put into your

repertoire at the NFL level here? Yeah. Um, for me, man, I like speed the power. I feel like that's

that's what that's my bread and butter, but I also like the, the spin, uh, the double swipe, um,

and just really just being able to, uh, to be in, uh, working, working on a lot of being now since, uh,

every half. Yeah. Just hearing you talk about the different things that either you're working on

or what coaches have told you, I can sense like the passion about the excitement about getting ready

to play. How much are you chopping at the bit just to get out there and finally playing a game

for the first time and what feels like a long time? Dude, I've been away from, I haven't played football

in like a year now. So it's like, I'm kind of itching, but I know that I still need to be patient,

uh, because I don't need to rush this. I need to come back, uh, 100%. Um, but man, I'm, I'm excited.

I'm, I'm ready for the season, um, ready for even preseason. Um, yeah. So I'm just,

I'm just thankful, uh, for each day. I'm just trying to take it a day at a time, but it's kind of hard to do that.

So, but I am. David, what, what was like a typical day for you? Can you just kind of take us through

that because part of it was rehab, but the other part of it, as you were talking about, was that

classroom work with Larry foot being around your teammates, sitting in on meetings. Just take us

through like kind of a typical day for you during football season. What was that like? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. For training and training room, we get up there like 630. Um, and we're going to train

room from 7 to 8. Then we have team meetings. Uh, then we have defensive meeting. So that's

what we're sitting in watching the film and stuff. And then after that, they have practice, but on

Thursdays, we've asked for the Thursdays. We, after, uh, while they're at practice, the guys that

were injured like me, uh, we'll go up to the, uh, to the team room and we'll just watch them with

the scouts and, uh, just write down the stuff that we see and then we talk about it. And then

hopefully, if they need something, we'll say something the next meeting.

What's your impression of Todd Bowles? I mean, that, not every head coach calls the defense,

but you have that guy here in Tampa Bay who runs the team and he also runs the defense.

Yeah. I mean, I like Todd Bowles. Um, I feel like, you know, he's, he's really smart. His defense

is really schematic. And, um, I feel like you have to do your job in order for it to work.

Uh, if one person is not doing their job, but the defense is busted, uh, but for majority of the

part, man, um, I, I'm, I'm excited to, uh, to play for coach. Would you say his defense is,

is complex or is it kind of straightforward and simple to grasp? Uh, uh, it's definitely

complex because for me, for me is kind of complex. I can't speak for everybody else because when I

was at Central Arkansas, I played the boundary. Uh, I went to the field. If there was a matchup,

um, they would, they would need to take part of it. But for me is learning both, uh,

knowing both, uh, even knowing the back. Um, so that's, that's kind of different for me.

Has anything surprised you, whether it's like a blitz that was on tape that coach Bowles called

or maybe something that the opponent was running on offense, where you're just like, wow,

I've, I've never seen that before. Um, not really. But what's kind of different for me is,

uh, people in 21 and 22, um, they're bringing three tight ends in, um, a fallback. I ain't used to that.

I'm used to gun. Um, so, so that was kind of different, but man, I like it. I like getting dirty

down in there and that's, and that's where I feel like I need to show my game the most, the most.

And when, when you do return, what would make this upcoming season a success for you in your

mind, given everything that you went through to, to hit the field and, and playing games this season?

Yeah. Um, man, just, just attributing to the team. Uh, anyway, if that's special teams starting

right off, uh, let's do it. Um, if I, I'm willing to do the little things, uh, to, to help the team,

to have the team win, have to have the team succeed. And then if I do get the opportunity,

I think I will have to go out there and pass for us to go out there. I don't know how it

goes down. Um, to make the most of it, um, there's some churches that I live by the Colossians

streets, when the three is that, uh, whatever you do, do a whole heartily, uh, for the Lord and not

for human. And, um, and I feel like that's, that's a big part of, uh, why I play the game.

You know, the, the Buccaneers made some additions in the off season here. They got a couple

of linebackers, uh, Christian Rose Boom from Carolina, uh, Alex Anzaloni from Detroit.

And then a couple of, of defensive lineman too, defensive tackle Aishan Robinson, who is quite

the character. And, uh, and, uh, and Al Quodin-Muhamid, um, he was an head director at that 11

sacks last year in Detroit. What are your, your thoughts? Have you had a chance to watch some

of the press conferences with these guys and kind of get a feel for some of your new teammates?

What are your thoughts on the additions so far to the Bucs defensively?

Yeah. Um, man, that's going to help us a lot. Um, especially at the linebacker position that's

that's some big shoes to feel. Levante David, uh, man, we're going to miss him. Um, but I feel like, uh,

he's leaving us in good hands. Um, Jason, like the two pickups, he just picked the linebacker,

the phenomenal players and the guy from Muhammad, the guy, the edger usher that coming in, um,

he had a live and coming off the bench. Uh, so imagine what he can do, uh, fully starting. And,

um, I'm excited to compete, compete for the job and, um, just, uh, compete in any way I can.

You know, this team, you know, really could have used you last year, right? Especially with

the sun ready coming in and he gets hurt in the Detroit game, miss several, um, games.

Um, when, when you're watching last season unfold, you know, the five and one start six and two

at the by week and then the collapse down down the stretch. Um, how hard is it not to like,

jump through the TV and want to put on a box jersey and get out there and get after the quarterback,

especially when, you know, when his son went down the pass rush, you know, I think, yeah,

I was probably getting more double teams at that time and it was, it's weren't getting the

pressure. Is that, is that something where you're thinking, oh, man, if this knee was right, I,

the damage I could be doing out there. Yeah, man, it was, it was definitely frustrating. Um,

because I feel like when you sit in from the opposite side of the field, uh, you're watching,

you see stuff different than the players and, uh, um, so just seeing there, I'm like,

name and I probably could have made that play. I probably could have helped the team out on

kickoff. Um, there were just so many aspects of me wanting to be out there, but, um, man, um,

I'm, I'm excited for this year. What do you recall if anything about the message or the mindset

from, you know, some of the guys on the team about going into this upcoming season about

erasing everything that happened the year before and the sense of motivation?

Yeah, this is, this is about starting fast. Um, we start fast and we just got to finish, um,

because like you said, we went 62 into the by-week and after that,

people started getting injured and stuff started happening, but, uh, this is the NFL, uh, people

get hurt and stuff happens, but I feel like we just, we just got to keep person for, um,

not pointing fingers and, um, trying to fix the mistakes that we do see.

You had an interesting vantage point because it's like, you're kind of like adjacent to the

action, right? But because you were injured, you really weren't be able to be a part of it.

Was there something just from a, either a chemistry standpoint or just a mindset standpoint?

I know the injuries, you know, the injuries happened, but I mean, it seemed to me like,

you guys are almost more injured at the beginning of the season than at the end because you got

J-Mac back and like Evans back towards the end of the season. And, and the wins just didn't materialize,

but, um, what did you notice that was different maybe about the way the team was performing?

Out there from before the by-week to after the by-week?

Yeah, um, man, it was like the mindset was, well, we were really going to try to win a Super Bowl,

and that was before the, before the by-week, I feel like, man, we were clicking on all cylinders.

And, uh, some stuff just happened. Some people got misplaced, some people came in, and the chemistry

wasn't there, um, at times, but at times the chemistry was there. That was just, just a little stuff that, um,

that whatever we're going to face is this all season.

When you look at, um, at your potential, and I hate that word because it's dangerous, right?

Potential is, is kind of a dangerous word. I like production better, because production is,

I did this. Potential is, I'm going to do this, but you were in a position with the knee where

the ability to produce was taken away from you, right? But in terms of your production,

are you a double digit sacker in the NFL in time once you get your feet wet in this league?

Yeah, um, man, for me, my confidence is high. Um, but I'm not, I'm not the type to boast.

I'm not the type to just talk about me, and I love just going out there and doing it.

Uh, when people without me, I just like showing up, um, because, um, man, guy, guy, uh, he's

faithful to the humble. And I want to be humble in all aspects because it could be taken away,

like my knee, I got injured. Uh, yeah, I was doing really good this, this summer,

I was going the way that I wanted it, but it didn't end the way that I wanted. Uh, so this year,

man, I'm just trying to take it one game at a time, one day at a time and 18 games. Hopefully,

uh, guy can bless me with that. So yeah. Well, David, you're not going to become a double digit

sacker. You're not going to even get a sack in the league. I'll just, I'll just give you some

motivation right now, right? Exactly. Yeah, I just play that clip on a repeat. So it's

fair to say that you're a lead by example type of guy. Yeah, for sure. Um, yeah.

David Walker, we greatly appreciate your time. Uh, any parting words to the crew,

the, the Legion of Bucks fans watching us here on the, um, Peter reports, uh, TV or YouTube channel.

Yeah. Um, I'll just say buckle up. Um, this season is going to be a whirlwind and, uh, don't jump

ship. I like it. Don't jump ship. Got the pirate reference in there too. So yeah, yeah,

I have to. Yeah. That's great. Listen, I, I really enjoyed, you know, getting to know you and,

and appreciate the interview that we did earlier this, the soft season in your appearance today on

the Peter report TV. You're now a friend of the program, you know, um, sir, we're going to have

a couple of others, uh, of your, your team mates. Uh, join us here this soft season.

Uh, but you're, you're the first buck we've had this off season. So thank you so much for,

um, any plans for your time. Any plans on Arkansas before, um, before you head back to Tampa.

I mean, yeah, I'll just, just play what are rafting or, or fishing. I mean, that's, that's a,

a nature state out there in Arkansas. Yeah, yeah. I'm just going to be visiting family and friends.

I'm going to the Derby did. Arkansas Derby, this weekend. So, uh, just chilling. Yeah.

Very cool. David Walker, very chill guy. He's going to be getting up in the quarterback.

A lot this year, I think. So thank you so much for your time, sir. And we'll see you in Tampa.

Yes, sir. Thank you. Yeah. Yeah. Thanks again. There we go. That's,

you know, that, that's a guy right there that, that has a lot of potential. And Matt, we,

we talked about it. I mean, that, that's, that's kind of a dangerous word. But

there's something about him that from what I've seen on the tape. And in, I remember Larry

foot coming up to me on, I think it was the, the day that, that he went on Ninja Reserve, right?

Where the news broke. It was because he got hurt on Friday and then Mondays when the news broke.

Larry just came up to me on solicited and just because he knew that I was doing the, uh,

the training camp diary with David and he knew I was a big big Walker fan. And he's like,

that's a gut punch man. Like that guy was, like, I was a big part of our rush plan this year,

you know? And it was interesting, Matt, you and I were there. That practice. That was a two-minute

drill. It started on starters. That was late in the day. Yeah. Right towards the end of practice.

And it was, I think the only other rookie out there was Jacob Parrish at Nickel. But he,

he was replacing his son, Reddit. So he was at the, with all the starters,

beta, collage, uh, Yaya and, you know, and David Walker. He was at the, he actually replaced

a son, Reddit in that drill. And I think the team really wanted to see, like, how's he going to do,

you know, in this, this two-minute pass for a situation here. And then fortunately, you know,

and didn't even look like it was that series of knee injury. But sometimes with the ACL,

you know, that's what I was going to say is because when he got injured and, you know,

it was pretty almost a year, a little less than a year ago at this point. From what I recall,

like, I remember it wasn't like one of those situations where he was on the mound in a lot of

pain. And like, all the practice had to stop. So eventually he can get like, card it off the field.

I remember him kind of like, grand, they were kind of touching like the bottom half of his leg

to seeing what was wrong. But it wasn't like, stop the presses. Like, it seemed like, okay,

he's a little banged up, will probably be done for the day because practice is done. And then,

you know, you learn not long after that he was, that he unfortunately was going to be out for the

season with a torn ACL. So I definitely remembered that. And I vividly remember too, and this was,

obviously, before that day, but Todd Bowles, maybe it was rookie camp, maybe it was like

mini camp in OTAs, but talking about the best guy out there was David Walker. And the fastest

guy out there was David Walker, which, you know, you don't always say that about an ed rusher

and an outside linebacker, given all the other speed positions on the team. Yeah.

He was, he was making an impact. He was impressing people early on. And, you know,

what did it have continued throughout all the preseason, the regular season? Yeah. It's hard

to say, but he was certainly taking the right steps in the first place to

ributor on the team. And, you know, it was really unfortunate that what happened with his injury,

because you know, he's a super, super humble guy. He's not a pregadocious at all. He

just goes with his beliefs and trusted himself and trusted in his faith. And, you know,

the rest will take care of itself. And I think there's, uh, it's something it's really admirable

how he goes about himself. Yeah. And, you know, I had a member of the organization send me

some practice slips, right? Like for the all 22 from the practice field, you know,

taken by the Buccaneers photographers and just they were just salivating at this guy's dip

and rip. And they granted this is, this is just t-shirts and shorts and helmets, right?

In the, you know, OTAs and all that. But the bend, the freakish bend that this guy has to turn

the corner and to get low. And I mean, he's six feet tall. I think Larry foot calls him like 510

or something just to like get under his skin. But he's not a tall guy. He's a undersized six foot

200 and, you know, 60 pound edge pressure. But, um, you know, he's got some some real freakish

ability. And we played that video clip of him doing the flip at the combine. I mean,

it's like that not everybody can do that. I mean, Jason Pierre Paul could do that. I mean,

you saw what kind of a freak he was in the league. And of course, he was like six five,

which makes it even more impressive. But, um, you know, I have high hopes for the guy. I really do.

And hopefully the knee and the body cooperated. I mean, my God, with the injuries this team had

last year. And it kind of started with him. Unfortunately, Matt. It really did. Yeah, with,

I mean, it kind of started before the season with Tristan Wurfs. I mean, he was kind of like

the first one. But yes, in terms of when the box hit the field, he used one of the first people

that unfortunately got injured. And I think my expectations are tempered a little bit. It's,

I totally understand. You see the production and what he was doing in practice. And you say,

all right, this guy's going to be a factor. It is serious injury, though, with an ACL injury.

So I kind of still view David Walker as it is a bonus edition. I mean, I said to him, he,

it was a red shirt here for him last season. Now he's getting his opportunity. I think that it's

just getting into the understanding of what the rhythm is going to be and the schedule is going to

be. And it's not just watching tape. It's what to look for when watching tapes. So when he talked

about tendencies of offensive tackles and things like that, I think it's important for every

rookie. Now him for being a second year player to understand what you are looking at,

what you counteract it, combat it, whatever word you, you want to use. And I think that'll be so

beneficial for him coming into the season. And if he ends up being anything for the team,

this upcoming season granted that there's going to be a little bit of a learning curve and not

as much of a learning curve to say another ad Russia that they're going to draft the season.

If he turns out being a guy that gets double digit sacks or has like a Yaya Diabi type of

rookie year with seven and a half. I mean, man, does that change the picture for the puck

that outside line back? It does. They would take that in a heartbeat, you know. And again,

even if he doesn't start right, even if it's AlQaeda and Mohammed or, you know, the

the ad Russians are going to draft in the first, second, third round, whatever, you know,

he makes this team better even as that that second wave rusher, right? When last year when it was

Anthony Nelson and Chris Braswell, that didn't scare anybody. That didn't scare any tackles.

Didn't scare any offensive coordinators or, you know, quarterbacks. And I mean, no disrespect to

those guys. I'm just looking at the production. Like can they get to the quarterback on a regular

basis? Nelly can occasionally Braswell just simply can't, right? I have a better feeling that

David Walker is going to be able to do that stuff. Now, the guy hasn't even put pads on yet,

unfortunately. So this is all projection and conjecture right now. But at the same time,

it's like you draft players that haven't played it down in the league, right? Fernando Mendoza has

yet to play it down in the league. He's going to be the first overall pick. So everybody kind of

starts at square one. And we'll see. But I do have my hopes for for David Walker. We are proud to

bring on a new advertising partner here at Peter report TV and and Peter report. And they're

going to be sponsoring my SRS Fab 5com tomorrow, which I'm working on right now. And I'm really

excited to bring these these great folks from game day men's health on board. One in four men

have low testosterone levels. That's for over age 30 in the US. That's that's kind of a bold

number. And guess what folks? That's me. I've been a low testosterone guy for several years now.

And so I can speak to this from firsthand experience at age 53.

Men, do you feel tired? Are you gaining weight despite working out? Are you struggling with sleep,

focus, even sexual performance? One in four men over the age of 30 have low testosterone.

And a lot of you don't even realize it. I probably had it in my 40s. I didn't realize it till like

my like 49 year age. At game day men's health, low testosterone is quickly diagnosed and treated.

That's the good part. They can treat you for low testosterone. Game day offers free testosterone

dot com slash price match for details. Touch to game day half for sponsoring Peter

report and Peter report podcast. Got a couple of super chats before we close out the show. We'll

start with T-level. Thank you for this to who says our Mason Thomas caches howl or Jacob Rod

regas. Well, we do all three con Jason lights on how I'll trade down a maneuver and get those

three guys to help out. That's a good point right there. You know, because some are saying that our

Mason a second round pig. So all right, maybe you miss out on howl, but you can get or you get

howl and maybe you miss out on arm Mason Thomas, but you get Jacob Roderiggas or you go Jay

Rod and arm Mason Thomas. To me, I just think overall and it doesn't have to be specific to these

three players. I still think it's really important that the box find an inside linebacker to start

next to Alex Ansel. I think they can live with yaya, the Alquodim Muhammad as their starters for

the beginning of the season. Now, if David Walker is able to turn into a big time producer for them

or their second round draft pick at edge rusher ends up being the guy that is going to be the future

of this. That's totally fine, but I think you feel okay with yaya and Alquodim Muhammad on

outside and outside linebacker. I don't know how you feel necessarily at inside linebacker

after Alex Ansel. They made a move the other day with rose boom, but I still think finding that

future at inside linebacker is most important for the box. I'm with you on that. I agree.

And then realtor David Zussman, thank you for the 499 Super Chat says, is there a past rusher

in the coaching staff? Do they work on fundamentals and counter moves with each edge player?

So Larry foot coaches the outside linebacker room. And I was super excited when he went back to

that position because he was the inside linebacker's coach for a couple years after the Super Bowl

up until last year when he made the move back to outside linebackers. And the results were

underwhelming, right? To be perfectly frank, I had higher hopes for the outside linebacker room

with Larry in charge of that room. And I think Larry is a good coach. I really do.

You know, he was an inside linebacker in the NFL. So he didn't necessarily play the position,

which doesn't mean that you can't coach it, right? But sometimes what's the saying, you can't

make chicken salad out of chicken, you know what? And yeah, I'm about ready to write off

crisper as well. I just don't think he's got it. I just don't think he has the instincts to

you know, to, to become, to live up the potential of a second round pick. I just haven't seen it.

And he's at plenty of opportunities. Matt, I go back to that the preseason, right? Where he's left

in, he's playing first, second, late third quarters of preseason games, going up against third

string tackles and he's still can't get by him. Okay. So am I surprised he has two and a half

sacks? No, I don't think Larry foot can fix that to be honest. I'm the Rod Maranella can fix that,

right? I mean, you can put Joe Cohen, Rod Maranelli, you know, if a guy can't do it, he can't do it.

Yaya Diabi had a bounce back year. I thought Yaya had a really good year for all of the,

the double teams he faced, especially when his son wasn't playing opposite him, you know.

And I think his son was cooked last year. I just think he was done, right? He, he was the guy

that we saw him with in New York, one sack in 10 games with the Jets. Yeah. He no longer was the

guy that could get double digit sacks like he did in Philadelphia. Philadelphia, in hindsight,

did the right thing in trading him. They stole from the Jets. They did. Absolutely. Yeah,

that trade. But then again, it's not that hard to do the, the New York Jets. But anyway, for,

for sure, um, I think the problem with Braswell too is just, there's no confidence exuded in his

game. And the calling card for him was, oh, well, he sat in Alabama and then worked his way and

didn't transfer and eventually became a starter. But like, I don't know, that's about it. So,

oh, he's just going to sit and work his way and do it again. NFL teams don't have that time.

Right. Alabama can afford to do so. They're Alabama. They're going to get great players. They're

going to be competitive season in and season out. So it does bring up the question. It's a little

bit of like nature versus nurture and, you know, how much, how much is it the coaching? How much

is it like the town itself? And, you know, each recipe is a little bit different. I think there's

great things of players truly benefiting from great coaching. There's the other side of it,

like George Edwards, where, hey, you had Michael Parsons and Dallas. I don't know what else you

really need to tell Michael Parsons. He's Mike Parsons. He's going to be great. So, you know,

sometimes coaches benefit from a great player. Sometimes great players don't need the coaching. And

then other times coaches just have a player that just doesn't have the talent. And, you know,

there's certain criteria and thresholds that players need to reach. And I guess Chris Braswell

just doesn't have that threshold. Yeah. And so when you look at the room, right, it was,

it was Yaya Diabi, seven sacks. Good season, right? You know, rebounded from four and a half.

But the pressures were still there and consistent. And I just think his son,

Retic was a free agent bust. I think Chris Braswell is a draft bust. Nelson is what he is at

this stage of his career. David Walker, I think he had some high hopes. And he had a 20 ACL,

right? And Mark East Watts was just a special teamer. You know, he just wasn't anything more than

that. So, you know, that was the room. And sometimes it's like, you know, you're trying to make

lemonade out of, you know, out of sour lemons. And it didn't taste good. You know,

the lemons are past due. And I just think that was kind of those were the cards that Larry

Foot was dealt with last year. And I think on paper, we expected a better his son,

Retic, we expect to Chris Braswell to take a leap in year two. And that did materialize. And

that's literally half of the room when you look at four or five outside linebackers on that,

that debt chart, you know, so. Yeah. I want to get to the super chat from Meets McGee,

but also want to give a shout out to our Peter platinum members. Thank you so much for your

support of peteroport.com. So we'll let those names scroll at the bottom. We will have a

peter insider coming up tomorrow at 130 for a peter platinum and premiere members. It's our

bonus show. So looking forward to it. But Meets McGee with this $2 super chat. Thank you very much.

Says Kyle Lewis as the Levante David replacement with the question mark.

You know what? I love Kyle Lewis. His coverage ability is his next level. He's really more like a

safety than he is a linebacker though. That's what I was going to say. He's 6-1-2-20. And when I say

220, we're not talking like Derek Brooks or Levante David under size. Those guys were 230.

This guy's 220. And all you have to do is look at the Pittsburgh Miami game, which I watched.

I went back and watched it against. I've seen it live and I also saw the film's lips.

The Pittsburgh Panthers literally do not put him in the box in that game because Miami's

offensive line. I mean, just look at that offensive line. They're offensive defensive line.

Led them to and into the national championship game. Through the playoffs and into the matchup

against Indiana. That offensive line was massive. Yeah. You know, Marcus Bell was the left tackle.

Massive guy, 6-9, all that. They purposely took Kyle Lewis out of the box and they put him

literally in the slot. They made him like a slot corner slash safety in that game because he

can't live in the box. He can't hold up between the tackles. He can't disengage blocks. He gets in

golf. Nothing brings people together quite like team USA at the Olympic Winter Games.

From NBC Universal's iconic storytelling to the innovative technology across

Xfinity and Peacock, Comcast brings the Olympic Games home to America, sharing every moment with

millions. When team USA steps on to the world stage, people aren't just watching. They're

sharing together. This winter, everyone is all on the same team. Comcast, proud partner of team USA.

By size, he's going to have to go to a scheme that will use him as a hybrid safety slot.

And I just don't see him having enough size, really, to play linebacker at the NFL level. I mean,

if he does play it's a weak side position, but I don't, I mean, Levante David played in the box,

right? I mean, in the 425 defense here in Tampa, both those linebackers are kind of in the box.

He's just not that type of player. He played so much in the slot, even the Pittsburgh Panthers coaches

knew that he could not live and survive in between the tackles as a box linebacker.

Yeah, I think he's way more suited to be a safety at the NFL level, and the box don't exactly

need a starting safety at the moment. But yeah, a fun player to watch for sure. I thought

held the zone at the senior ball. And I know Josh Capo's done a lot of write-ups about him and

discussion, things like that. So yeah, check that out. Matt, you mentioned our Peter insider tomorrow,

and the topic has been revealed, even Matt Matera doesn't know yet, but we're going to be talking

edge rushers tomorrow. So yeah, David Walker on today would figure that would be a nice lead

into tomorrow's discussion. We're going to talk about edge rushers, and there's kind of two distinct

types. There's the bigger guys this year, the Kimesadors, the Gaybackus, the Zion Youngs,

then there's the smaller undersized guys, the the RMAs and Thomas's, the Cassius Hals,

the Nadeem Tuckers, right? And we're going to be talking about those particular players and

maybe which style fits Todd Bulls and the Buckingeers needs the best. So that's tomorrow's show

at 134R puter insiders. Then on Sunday, more draft talk, live bucks mock draft with Josh Capo,

Adam Slavon, and part of this guy before, whatever her name, Trevor Sikama. Oh yeah,

Peter report alum and Proof of all focuses own draft Nick Trevor Sikama. We joining the Peter

report podcast for a live bucks mock draft presented by the great folks over at walk-ons.

And that is going to be Sunday at 5 p.m. Sunday at 5, special time. We have to work around Trevor

schedule as a busy man, but we're happy to do it. So that is Sunday show at 5 o'clock. And then

on Monday, I'm going to be out in Arizona. Man, it's supposed to be 95 degrees in Arizona on

Monday. Wow. So yeah, yeah, you think Florida's on Arizona. Here I come. But I will be chatting with

Todd Bulls and going to his press conference and we'll be recording it. Matt Menterin, I will be

reacting to that press conference at 4 o'clock on Monday. So and if you're not a subscriber to our

X page, we'll be tweeting out some notes from that press conference as well. So make sure that you

follow us on our social media channels at Peter report for X and Facebook and Instagram.

Then on Tuesday, I'll still be out there in Arizona because I get to talk to Joe laser.

And we'll have the press conference reaction to the one and only opportunity that the media has to

speak to bucks ownership. Now be out there in Arizona on Tuesday's show and they'll be flying

back on Wednesday. And Matt will be talking about the latest news regarding the Buccaneers. We do

have a little bit of news. I don't see that they've signed them just yet. But the expectation might be

that they're going to sign another edger usher. But really, Matt, it's a player that would probably be

for special teams purposes, right? They had

DeAngelo Malone in the building today, former Falcons linebacker. I actually liked them coming out

of Western Kentucky a couple of years ago. I thought he was a, you know, an interesting player

in terms of his ability to get to the quarterback. Now that hasn't manifested itself at the NFL

level, right? A little undersized and he's about 240, right? Where you got to kind of be 250 plus,

I think, to really succeed as an edger usher. But DeAngelo Malone.

four, six feet, special teams demon for the Atlanta Falcons that we've already seen,

then make some moves on special teams. They got a new special teams coordinator, Danny Smith.

They also brought in Miles Killabrew, who is a special team demon for the Pittsburgh Steelers,

that Danny Smith knows full well, probably helped recruit to Tampa. And we'll see if they add

DeAngelo Malone, who's a very well put together athlete, very fast guy, and a core special

teamer for the Falcons over the last couple of years. He got three career sacks, so he was a spot

duty pass rusher as a third round pick. And I want to say it was 2022 when he entered the league.

But I had an interception last year. It just didn't get a lot of playing time last year because

they brought in Leonard Floyd. They drafted James Pierce Jr. and Jibon Walker in the first round,

so he kind of slowed down the depth chart a little bit. But if he does end up signing with the

bucks, he's a really good special teams player. And that wouldn't surprise me a bit because

Marquis Watts is not going to return. And Marquis was was a core special teams player as well.

Chris Braswell is a good special teams player. You know, treat me told.

Ample of the bucks taking another player with the division. They've done it online of players,

but yeah, with Atlanta as well. But that's going to do it for today.
