Yesterday they resigned their veteran linebacker and leader, Lavonte David, Shaq Barrett and Domitian.

Sue headlined the notable players who were set to hit free agency.

So let me bring Diana Russini in on that thought.

Diana, where are we?

As far as the Buccaneers and their plans and their their, their chances of bringing basically all their important pieces back.

Yes there, certainly in that running back mode at this point, and they're really sticking to their word, which is they wanted to keep the band back together.

So here's how they see it with Shaq Barrett.

He has considered a priority.

They're doing everything they possibly can in terms of getting creative, restructuring other people or at least other players contracts, as well as getting creative with shock.

Barrett's long term deal that's on the table that they're trying to make workshop.

Barrett's been very open, though.

He wants to get paid and and he deserves 27 a half sacks of the last two seasons.

That's all that's second best in the league.

He's 28 years old, only 28 years old, and we know what a great Super Bowl run he had with this team.

So they want to make this work.

It just really did come down to the numbers greenie.

So here's where I think our meeting this morning got fascinating.

Teddy Bruschi.

We were talking.

I asked the question, Why is it so hard to repeat?

You're a guy who did it, You're you're on.

You were on the last team that did it, and you brought up one person who you think is the most important in all of it.

In trying to win back to back Super Bowls.

Who was that person?

The most important person is the head coach, and why I say that is because when you win a Super Bowl, relationships become strengthened.

There's love, there's friendship.

You've done something that has never been before that never, never done before in your life.

And it's like you have an everlasting bond of closeness with players with coaches.

Okay, now, going to next year, that bond has to be re broken, and that's the hard thing to do, because now I don't want a coach to be my friend.

Now the coach got to stop being friends to all these champions that you know them as and look at them now has started from ground zero.

So can Bruce Arians look at his team in the team meeting room and not see the world champions and just see a team that hasn't done anything yet?

Because resetting that mentality I believe in in repeating is the hardest thing to do.

I failed that at once, and then we were successful at it the second time.

And that's where the learning process comes in because the human nature aspect of it, the relational aspect of it and the love and the closeness there has to be some type of conflict within the locker room for coaches to push players.

And the leadership has to come.

And the message has got to come from the head coach.

And that's why I think Bruce Arians is the most important person when coming and repeat for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Such a fascinating thought and Rob Ninkovich again.

Obviously, Teddy winning back to back Super Bowl is playing for Bill Belichick and Niko.

You want a title with Bill, and you experienced exactly what what Teddy is talking about.

Yeah, look after Seattle in 2014.

I can remember being in the off season and having a team meeting, and this was right before the ring ceremony, which in the off season you get your rings and there's new guys on the team that weren't with the 2014 Patriots.

So there's new guys on the roster and I remember Bill, you know, like yesterday saying, Hey, look, guys, um, ring ceremonies tonight.

Let's not make a big deal of this like, let's not make this a big thing because there's guys here that don't haven't experienced it and they're not getting the rings tonight.

So let's just cool it on the big celebration, okay?

And I remember looking around like what?

I'm about to go crazy.

I'm getting my ring, my first one, you know?

So it's true, though.

Bill does a great job of knocking you back down to the to the basics right to the bottom, chop the legs off and just say, Look, you got to start over, and that's what you have to do to repeat, because in 15 we were close.

We were really close.

You know, we're a F C championship away from getting back and we didn't get it done.

We were able to get back in 16.

But it's the way it is.

You have to start over from scratch.

You have.

There's no egos.

There's no big hit.

You didn't win a Super Bowl.

That's last year.

Let's move on to the next year.

Tell me, is she laughing?

It feels like to be that over the top.

I don't think B A is going to be that over the top of the whole Belichick over the top style.

But if he can find if you can find just that little bit of bringing that down and bringing himself up, I think he can.

He can get the job done.

You know what?

Here's what I'll throw at you, Teddy.

That that leadership, while obviously the ideal place for it to come from as the head coach.

Can Tom Brady do that?

Tom Brady, who has done it as many times well, candidly, more times than anyone ever.

Can he do that?

Is it possible that can come Teddy from the quarterback instead of the head coach?

Now?

I think you've got an example of last year when Tom Brady tried to take too much of that type of fixing these guys on.

I think it was the Chicago Chicago game when he got when he got absolutely flustered on the sideline, when at his teammates, forgetting what down it was late in the game, and that's what it's like.

I got so much I gotta do.

I gotta quarterback position to play and I got to get these guys right.

It has to be quarterback head coach.

Okay, Tom knows the role that he has to play, and I think Tom knows what role be.

A has to play if they can get on the same page, and Tom doesn't have to be the bad guy.

But be a can be a little bit more of a bad guy because Tom got some bad guy, you know, we've all seen it.

Alright, he can do that.

But that's not that that that that shouldn't consume him like it did earlier in the season last year.

Diana, go.

I just want to let Teddy know my sixth grade soccer team are travel team one from my sixth grade year to my eighth grade year, so it is possible that you can go back to back and overcome any difficulty.

But I did have a Patriots coach say to me years ago, he's actually not on the staff anymore, that sometimes you always look at the challenges of winning in dealing with conflict and diversity.

But sometimes success is just as difficult.

Uh, you know, a lot of guys sit back.

They don't work as hard, which is something that we saw the Kansas City Chiefs have some trouble with, but obviously they made it all the way back there.

But that's always something to keep in mind that success is often, sometimes just as challenging to deal with on the second year.
