00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:35,280
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live, presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: All right, heck to the big Tuesday. Here on One

3
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 2: Bills Live at One Bill's Drive. Chris brownste tasker with you.

4
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 2: Thanks for making us a part of your afternoon. As

5
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp is underway today, Tomorrow, Thursday will be

6
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: the days we'll see if it gets cut short. Sometimes

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:58,120
Speaker 2: the last day they get off early for their five

8
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: week pass for the summer.

9
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: Not only if that happen, everybody else gets off early.

10
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 1: To Brannan and I are here by ourselves, here in our.

11
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:07,480
Speaker 2: It's a ghosts out come Thursday.

12
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:10,600
Speaker 1: But that's that's the way it is. That said, like

13
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: in the old Lord of the Rings movies Deep Breath

14
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: before the Plunge.

15
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: I will say, though the Bills only had nine total

16
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 2: OTA and mini camp practices, so you can usually have

17
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 2: let me count these up. I think you can have

18
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 2: a maximum of twelve. They chose to have nine. They're

19
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 2: about eight or nine. Other teams that did the same

20
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 2: went with fewer practices in the spring. And you know,

21
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 2: in now entering year eight, you know you're kind of

22
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: have you're kind of a well oiled operation, and so

23
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: the extra reps maybe not as critical.

24
00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 1: A little more continuity coming into this one. But plus

25
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: I don't want to. I mean because we love it.

26
00:01:58,280 --> 00:01:59,480
Speaker 1: I mean we get a chance go out and watching

27
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 1: practice fun for all of us. But you know, like

28
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: Taren Johnson, Connor McGovern, Cole Bishop, Joey Bosa, Tomorrow, Hamlin, Baile,

29
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: Inspector Cam Lewis, kJ Hamler, they're all injured and not practicing.

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,119
Speaker 1: And when you say injured, that'll let you that many

31
00:02:12,120 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: guys injured like for mini camp when they haven't been

32
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: doing anything. That'll let you know how vital they think

33
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 1: it is for these guys to practice. I mean they're

34
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: just you know, if you got a hangnail, sit down,

35
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, if you're not feeling well, if you need

36
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: somebody to rub your tummy, you just don't practice. And

37
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 1: these guys are coming off now, they're coming off some

38
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 1: injuries and stuff. But you know, I'm telling you right now,

39
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 1: maybe every single one of those guys would be on

40
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 1: the practice field if it was a game week. Yes,

41
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: you know, so it's get those set those guys to

42
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: the side, let some of the young guys.

43
00:02:40,639 --> 00:02:43,440
Speaker 2: Come in and take make small tweaks worse. Yeah, And

44
00:02:43,840 --> 00:02:46,000
Speaker 2: now is not the time of year to so through those.

45
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: They didn't even max these. I mean, I remember back

46
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 1: in the day coaches were chomping at the bit wanting

47
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: to go two days in these mini camps, you know,

48
00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 1: just feeling like, oh, they were falling behind if they

49
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 1: didn't do something. That's just not the case.

50
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 2: So everyone in attendance here at mandatory mini camp, including

51
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 2: James Cook, who is not only in attendance but is

52
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: also participating as he seeks a contract extension. So that's

53
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 2: an encouraging sign. We'll hear from coach McDermott a litle

54
00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 2: bit who addressed the media about an hour ago. We're

55
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,000
Speaker 2: going to play you with comments on that subject, but

56
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,120
Speaker 2: certainly an encouraging sign to not only see him here,

57
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 2: but to see him participating as well. The Bills additionally

58
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: have made a defensive ad to the roster, signing veteran

59
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 2: linebacker Shaq Thompson to a one year contract. Buffalo did

60
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: have an extra roster spot available. The thirty one year

61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: old played his first two seasons in the league under

62
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 2: head coach Sean McDermott in Carolina. He will wear jersey

63
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: number forty five. He is limited in practice today because

64
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 2: last year in Week four he suffered a torn achilles

65
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 2: and is still recovering from that injury. But thirty one

66
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 2: year old, and as we said, began his career playing

67
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 2: under then defensive coordinator Sean mcdermomy.

68
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, he strikes me as a little bit. And Bill's

69
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,720
Speaker 1: fans who watched the team close to you remember the aj

70
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: Klein time here in Buffalo where he was just a guy.

71
00:04:15,840 --> 00:04:18,679
Speaker 1: He didn't have to get too many practice reps. Smart

72
00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:22,359
Speaker 1: instinctive player, a lot of reps in the league. Just

73
00:04:22,440 --> 00:04:23,680
Speaker 1: be ready, you know what I mean.

74
00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:27,160
Speaker 2: And not only that, he obviously knows the defensive system.

75
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 2: That's number one, number two. He can play both middle

76
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:35,480
Speaker 2: linebacker and weak sidebacker, so he knows both positions position

77
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 2: versus into this scheme, so venter and experience versatility in

78
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:43,320
Speaker 2: terms of position flex. You know, if he gets back

79
00:04:43,360 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: to where he was, which is still an if, because

80
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,240
Speaker 2: as we know, sometimes achilles tendon injuries take a player

81
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 2: a full year back to playing football, and then in

82
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 2: the second year they return, they're back to kind of

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 2: like Tredevius White, right, like he kind of bounced around

84
00:04:57,839 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 2: a little bit last year and then towards the end

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: of last season started to look like Trey White again.

86
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: According to what you know. Brandon Bean said about the

87
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: film that he watched of Trey, and we've seen Trey

88
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,320
Speaker 2: out here and he looks very good. Hopefully Shaq Thompson

89
00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 2: is an even faster track to get back to the

90
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: kind of player he wants. Was because if so, you've

91
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,880
Speaker 2: got a heck of a you got a heck of

92
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 2: a depth player at the line right now.

93
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, And if all is as it seems, Shack's not

94
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: gonna have to play seventy five snaps a game, and

95
00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,760
Speaker 1: he's gonna play any He's gonna play punt punt return,

96
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:29,839
Speaker 1: you know kind of thing. And that's about it. And

97
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: and stay ready. So good signing is smart signing. It's

98
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: it's a little bit once you do. It's one of

99
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 1: these things you and I are stand out there talking.

100
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: You see guy, see him sign a guy like Shack,

101
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 1: and it's like, oh, yeah, of course they're gonna do that, right,

102
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:48,120
Speaker 1: It's a perfect move. You a veteran guy backed up,

103
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: don't have doesn't need the reps.

104
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 2: Yep.

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 1: So yeah, it's a little bit like chess where they

106
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 1: say oh after he moves. It seemed obvious, but you

107
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 1: could never see it beforehand.

108
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:00,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh, we're gonna whip a on the NFL here

109
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:02,440
Speaker 2: right away because we do want to get to Coach

110
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,760
Speaker 2: McDermott's comments in about ten minutes time around the NFL

111
00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: presented by Kalaia Healthy, official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

112
00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,919
Speaker 2: and we'll lead off with Atlanta quarterback Kirk Cousin. He

113
00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:16,919
Speaker 2: is in attendance at the Falcons mandatory mini camp. Cousins

114
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,560
Speaker 2: set to be the backup to starter Michael Pennix. Atlanta

115
00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:23,839
Speaker 2: had been entertaining trade offers for the veteran QB but

116
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,640
Speaker 2: they've apparently asked for interested teams to take on too

117
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 2: much of the remaining guaranteed money on cousins contract, and

118
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: that's kind of been the fly in the ointment on

119
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 2: getting a trade complete it. So he is there being

120
00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: the good soldier as you would kind of expect Kirk

121
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,840
Speaker 2: Cousins to do. That's just kind of in his nature.

122
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 2: So not surprised to see him at mandatory mini camp.

123
00:06:44,040 --> 00:06:47,359
Speaker 2: And really, what's the point of getting fined. Just be

124
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: there and do your job. Not the case in Miami,

125
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 2: tight end John new Smith and cornerback Jalen Ramsey not

126
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,760
Speaker 2: at mandatory mini camp. Dolphins are trying to move Ramsey

127
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 2: via trade. Well Smith has been the subject of trade

128
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 2: rumors with the Steelers. Now head coach Mike McDaniel, in

129
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 2: a press conference today, did say that Ramsey's absence is

130
00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 2: excused Smith, however, his absence is not as he is

131
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 2: seeking a new contract. So between him looking for a

132
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 2: new contract and the trade talks they could involve Smith.

133
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you that team's already a mess. I'm

134
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 2: telling oh, that's what I wanted to put on the

135
00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:28,000
Speaker 2: whiteboard because I said it last week.

136
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 3: What is it?

137
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 2: Dolphins are one of my top three teams to completely

138
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 2: implode this season.

139
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,240
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, completely that you've been saying that.

140
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:36,560
Speaker 2: I think they're gonna be in the last place in

141
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 2: the division. I think the Jets might even finish ahead

142
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:38,880
Speaker 2: of that.

143
00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 4: Wow, that's coming from a Long Island guy that says something, Well,

144
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 4: that's your darn right at the Yeah, I'm kind of

145
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 4: with you Tyreek finishing the season the way he did

146
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:53,040
Speaker 4: last year, John Neu Smith, all the you know the

147
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 4: stuff going on with Yeah, I'm.

148
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: I'm totally with you.

149
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 2: Jack Ramsey, lack of locker room leadership.

150
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 1: It's just players are not good. The players are kind

151
00:08:02,400 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: of running the ship a little bit. They got one

152
00:08:06,240 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: of the most the pre eminent defensive coordinator in the league.

153
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:11,000
Speaker 1: They got him fired because he coached.

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:12,640
Speaker 2: Him too hard.

155
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just it's a sad state of affairs down there.

156
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: I listened to a little bit of Mike McDaniel this morning,

157
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,960
Speaker 1: and I'm like, oh, headed, they're headed for problems. I'm

158
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 1: kind of with you on that. We're gonna get that

159
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: on the whiteboard.

160
00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:26,160
Speaker 2: We mentioned that.

161
00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: May end up being one of them that stands up.

162
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did I have? I had the Raiders at

163
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 2: five and twelve last year? Right, didn't I have that one?

164
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 2: That was my implosion team last year? And that happened right.

165
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:40,800
Speaker 2: Speaking of Pittsburgh edge rusher TJ. Watt not in attendance

166
00:08:40,800 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 2: at mandatory mini camp for the Steelers. He too seeking

167
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: a new contract for a long term deal. He's kind

168
00:08:47,280 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 2: of in the same boat as Trey Hendrickson. His contract

169
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 2: is now outdated in terms of the average annual value

170
00:08:54,960 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 2: based on the other guys in the league that have signed,

171
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 2: and you know, he's near at or near the top

172
00:08:59,520 --> 00:09:02,320
Speaker 2: of the league. Terms of pass rushers, so he just

173
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 2: wants to be paid fair market value. Again, this is

174
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: not the first time TJ. Watt's been in this spot.

175
00:09:07,960 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 2: I think it was two years ago. He was a

176
00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: hold inn at camp, So we've seen this before, and

177
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: you know, eventually the two sides come to an agreement

178
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 2: because the Steelers know they need this.

179
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,920
Speaker 1: Guy and with the current state of their roster, and

180
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,800
Speaker 1: they have some other good defensive players in.

181
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:24,439
Speaker 2: Particular, but he is their Lynchpinn.

182
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's the foundational cornerstone piece of their entire team,

183
00:09:27,920 --> 00:09:30,439
Speaker 1: their entire roster, because they don't have an offense, or

184
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 1: at least up until Rogers signed and now they got

185
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf and they've got some guys. He's the only

186
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 1: proven guy that you can build a team around, and

187
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:43,000
Speaker 1: he has been for quite some time.

188
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 2: Actually, No, in Cincinnati, the situation is a little bit different.

189
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:52,200
Speaker 2: Trey Hendrickson and first round picked Shamar Stewart, both of

190
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 2: whom are pass rushers not practicing today. Hendrickson wants a

191
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 2: new contract and he he is now far below market value,

192
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 2: just like TJ. Watt. Meanwhile, Stuart their first round draft joy,

193
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:08,080
Speaker 2: is also a pass rusher. Has not yet reached an

194
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 2: agreement on his rookie deal. Apparently the Bengals are trying

195
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,320
Speaker 2: to put certain clauses in there that have their that

196
00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 2: have Shamar Stewart's agent balking they will not sign it,

197
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:23,720
Speaker 2: and so they're at an impass right now. So neither

198
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 2: of probably two of their top three pass rushers not

199
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:34,360
Speaker 2: practicing a minicef not catastrophic, but not ideal either. Hendrickson

200
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: has gone on public records saying I will not play

201
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:38,240
Speaker 2: under my current deal.

202
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: So yeah, it when Cincinnati goes through controversial times in

203
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: its team's history, it's always this subject and it feels

204
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: exactly like this every single time, and more.

205
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: More often than not, it's the organization's fault.

206
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,200
Speaker 1: Even back when it was more common that players hold

207
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Now it's a set scale rookie skits. It's a little

208
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: bit like a rubber stamp when these guys get signed

209
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: in the rookie class. That's why you don't have holdous

210
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: like he used to. You know, like remember back in

211
00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:09,960
Speaker 1: the day, Biscuit Cornelias Bennett held out through Week eight

212
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,719
Speaker 1: of the regular season. Guys are holding out all the

213
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:14,800
Speaker 1: way through training camp. My rookie year, I was a

214
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 1: Houston oiler. The top pick was Ray Childress. He held

215
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: out until the last week of training camp. It was

216
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,440
Speaker 1: just all the time now, so they fixed it. They

217
00:11:23,520 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: kind of got a fix.

218
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: Since they he's still doing it. They're still doing some

219
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 2: things never changed.

220
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I'm it always feels like this with them.

221
00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 2: Always it's always a heavy lift.

222
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: I don't know why, Yeah, I don't know.

223
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 2: In Washington, veteran receiver Terry McLaurin skipping mandatory mini camp.

224
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:43,440
Speaker 2: He is outright frustrated with the lack of progress on

225
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 2: a new contract. He's entering the final year of his

226
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:50,320
Speaker 2: current deal. And here's an example of a player who

227
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:57,559
Speaker 2: has been a model teammate player for the organization and

228
00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:02,640
Speaker 2: has done everything though right way all the time, and

229
00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 2: they're yanking him around on a new deal too. He

230
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 2: is in the final year of his current deal, and

231
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 2: he's just like, I've done everything the right way in

232
00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 2: my career. Here, what's the deal? Like, what are we doing?

233
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 2: So he has ticked and I can't blame him. One

234
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 2: player seeking a new contract who is in attendance and

235
00:12:23,480 --> 00:12:28,559
Speaker 2: participating in his club's mandatory mini camp is cornerback Sauce Gardner.

236
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: In New York, So we'll see if his good faith

237
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 2: willingness to participate in practice while seeking an extension pays

238
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:42,079
Speaker 2: off for him. Two players who did get big contract

239
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 2: extensions punters. Jacksonville signed Logan Cook to a four year

240
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,120
Speaker 2: deal worth sixteen million dollars and was the highest paid

241
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,679
Speaker 2: punter in the league until today, So for about twenty

242
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 2: four hours, he was the highest paid punter in the league. Now,

243
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 2: Seattle punter Michael Dixon has signed a four year extension

244
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: for sixteen point two million dollars. He is now the

245
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 2: highest paid punter in the league. So congrats to those

246
00:13:07,640 --> 00:13:11,080
Speaker 2: two guys, two punters that the Bill saw last year.

247
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 2: And I remember Dixon had a really long punt in

248
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: the Week eight game last year. He drove Codrington all

249
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 2: the way back to his five yard line and then

250
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 2: Codrington fielded it, which probably wasn't the best decision. I

251
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 2: think it was like a seventy seven yard punt.

252
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 1: The thought is though, that if, yeah, if it carries

253
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:31,320
Speaker 1: there and gets there in a hurry, you can feel

254
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: it and you'll have more room because they're not gonna

255
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 1: be able.

256
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:35,199
Speaker 2: To say, ye out kicked your guy, y out kick it, But.

257
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, good for him, good for him.

258
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,559
Speaker 2: Free agent running back Cam Akers visiting the Saints today,

259
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 2: who are looking to make some additions to their offensive backfield,

260
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 2: which includes Alvin Kamara and Kendre Miller. And then Colts

261
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 2: quarterback Anthony Richardson, who is missing the balance of the

262
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 2: spring workouts with Indianapolis due to a shoulder ailment, is

263
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,319
Speaker 2: now seeking his second opinion. He's seeing doctor Neil Latrosh,

264
00:13:59,320 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 2: who was the guy who performed his ac joint surgery

265
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 2: last year, to get a recheck. It was previously reported

266
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 2: that no structural damage was found after a scan on

267
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:14,160
Speaker 2: his shoulder, which was performed last Friday, but any lingering

268
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: inflammation and soreness almost two years after surgery is noteworthy

269
00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:23,000
Speaker 2: and frightening for the organization. The team does not believe

270
00:14:23,040 --> 00:14:26,160
Speaker 2: he will require another surgery at this point. Head coach

271
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: Shane Steichen said there is still no timetable for Richardson's return,

272
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 2: which means Daniel Jones Europe.

273
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 1: That's I don't even know what to say to that.

274
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:39,520
Speaker 1: Two years.

275
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:41,240
Speaker 2: Are the Colts going to be irrelevant this year?

276
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

277
00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: In that well, maybe not in that division.

278
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:46,400
Speaker 2: Houston's loaded up again.

279
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: Houston looks like they're going to win the division. Jacksonville

280
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 1: another new coach, head coaching change, Indianapolis, Tennessee, Tennessee new

281
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:02,000
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback, quarterback, second year coach, rookie. We'll see it's

282
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: still at this point in history. Over the last handful

283
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,000
Speaker 1: of years, it's it's been a down stretch for that.

284
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: The ANFC South is just and Houston's been.

285
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 2: A cesspool of churn.

286
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:15,120
Speaker 1: Yes, it's been the They're the best of a bad

287
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 1: division and they will continue to be. Yeah, yeah, I

288
00:15:18,280 --> 00:15:21,880
Speaker 1: think any Now, this Anthony Richard thing, Richardson thing is

289
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:23,840
Speaker 1: you can read a lot into it if you decide

290
00:15:23,840 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 1: to go there. I'm not gonna you can't doubt that

291
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,480
Speaker 1: if the guy's got soren Us in his shoulder, he's

292
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:34,000
Speaker 1: got soren Us in his shoulder. If you get soldiers

293
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:37,640
Speaker 1: son Us in your shoulder in June the off season

294
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: might be you you know, you haven't something's not You're

295
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: not doing something right. So there you go. That's there's

296
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: no structural damage in the shoulder. I mean, they've checked

297
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: it out. I mean, what are you looking for?

298
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 2: I don't know.

299
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 1: It might be you could be.

300
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 2: So that's around the n f L presented by Kalida Health.

301
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 2: We pivot now to head coach Sean McDermott. He addressed

302
00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 2: the media about an hour ago prior to the team's

303
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:13,240
Speaker 2: first mandatory mini camp practice. So let's hear his thoughts

304
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: on a number of issues, including the new addition to

305
00:16:15,880 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 2: the roster, Shaq Thompson.

306
00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 5: Just to address the James Cook situation, I mean, obviously

307
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 5: you're glad he's here.

308
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 6: Just if you could just expound on you know that

309
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 6: you know happening today.

310
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,080
Speaker 7: Well, I credit James, you know, business his business. At

311
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 7: the end of the day, I know he loves being

312
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 7: around this team and the guys in the locker room

313
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 7: and and he.

314
00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 8: Loves to play football.

315
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:42,080
Speaker 7: So uh, I respect his decision to be here and

316
00:16:42,400 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 7: be amongst the team and and get some work in today.

317
00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 8: And we're looking forward to that.

318
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:52,880
Speaker 6: Believe that this is over in terms of him being

319
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 6: in training camp and everything.

320
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 3: What does does to signify anything.

321
00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:59,280
Speaker 7: We're just taking it one day at a time. Yeah,

322
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 7: one day at a time. I mean, we've all been

323
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 7: around this league a long time, and you know everyone

324
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:07,399
Speaker 7: has their own situations. They're all different, right, So I

325
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 7: think again, we need everybody to win and we need

326
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 7: everybody to practice, and so you know, we expect James

327
00:17:16,840 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 7: to be there and be their own time, but also

328
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:20,600
Speaker 7: understand his situation.

329
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 6: All the guys now working this week, Are there any

330
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 6: concerns about that being ready for the start a camp?

331
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 7: Not at this point to my knowledge and what Nate

332
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 7: has shared with me. So you know, things come up

333
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:37,520
Speaker 7: between hopefully not hopefully not, but they do come up usually,

334
00:17:37,560 --> 00:17:40,159
Speaker 7: you know, over the course of the at summer break,

335
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 7: you know, and and so part of it is you

336
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:45,639
Speaker 7: get tweak here or tweak there, and and the and

337
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,840
Speaker 7: the players and taking ownership of make sure they communicate

338
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 7: to our training staff so that even the smallest things

339
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 7: that we can get out in front of them.

340
00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 6: What what kind of off season has Josh had since

341
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 6: he came back, and what he wants see out of

342
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 6: him in terms of winning leads this week?

343
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 7: And then, yeah, it's good to have him back, you know, certainly,

344
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 7: I think it's been documented out there at least to

345
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:09,359
Speaker 7: some extent.

346
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: You know, he uh.

347
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,960
Speaker 7: Got married and and uh now he's back with the team,

348
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 7: so you know, life, life comes up, and it's been

349
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 7: fun to watch him grow and but really appreciate him

350
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 7: being here. Right, because this is his team. He is

351
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 7: He is our unquestioned leader and leader of the leader

352
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:33,760
Speaker 7: of the team. And what he does is first and

353
00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:38,439
Speaker 7: foremost lead by example. So you know, yesterday even he

354
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,000
Speaker 7: was first one in in our meetings that we had

355
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,960
Speaker 7: with the with the with the players just in terms

356
00:18:44,040 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 7: of you know, the physical process. He was one of

357
00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:50,359
Speaker 7: the first in line, and which I thought was really impressive,

358
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 7: right based on his his uh events of late.

359
00:18:54,000 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 5: So Sam, Josh grow and handle himself in in the

360
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 5: light of the limelight and the attention being the massive

361
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 5: coup or the contract he side or you know, getting

362
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 5: married to Toll, high profile actor and things like that.

363
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 5: How do you see him at that way and being himself?

364
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you know, And this is this is

365
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:23,200
Speaker 7: what is I think really been fun to watch and

366
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:25,960
Speaker 7: really good for our community and our fan base is

367
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:31,280
Speaker 7: they have a player like Josh that they can cheer

368
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 7: for and they and he makes amazing plays and he

369
00:19:36,359 --> 00:19:40,879
Speaker 7: continues to grow as a quarterback on the field. Just

370
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 7: as amazing though, is who he is as a person, right,

371
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:48,120
Speaker 7: the family he comes from, who he's who he continues

372
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 7: to become as a young man. And and I mean

373
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 7: what I've seen, is this truly genuine, authentic person who

374
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,920
Speaker 7: yes is in the limelight, Yes is one of the

375
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,320
Speaker 7: top players in our league and maybe the top player

376
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:08,560
Speaker 7: in the NFL. And but he is so authentic, so

377
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 7: down to earth, so relatable. I think that's really the

378
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 7: connection and the cool piece about about Josh is because

379
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 7: he is who he is in the ways that he

380
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,479
Speaker 7: is who he is, He's able to have that connection

381
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 7: in our community and I and again it's it's it's genuine,

382
00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:32,159
Speaker 7: it's authentic. And just again watching him out and the

383
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 7: walkthrough today a few minutes ago, I guess you would

384
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,200
Speaker 7: say you would never have guessed, uh that he just

385
00:20:39,359 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 7: experienced what he experienced, right, So an unbelievable ability to connect,

386
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 7: unbelievable ability to uh stay true to himself and where

387
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,040
Speaker 7: he comes from and who he is.

388
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 5: Yes, he looked looked those look.

389
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 7: Uh it was it was a it was I was

390
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 7: very grateful to be there. Number one too, just a

391
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 7: is it was what you you would expect of a wedding.

392
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 7: Just great to see and and two two really special

393
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 7: families coming together.

394
00:21:16,800 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: Expect as a wedding.

395
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 8: Next we won't get into maybe what you would expect.

396
00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: That's about shak Your time with him in Carolina isra what.

397
00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:37,440
Speaker 7: Is fit is for de right, Yeah, I mean we

398
00:21:37,560 --> 00:21:41,359
Speaker 7: drafted Shack when when Brandon and I were both there, and.

399
00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 8: You know, really really good player, tough, smart.

400
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,160
Speaker 7: You know, he's been through some injuries over the course

401
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 7: of the last few years, so that's that's been hard

402
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 7: to watch from a distance, and those the latest one

403
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:58,120
Speaker 7: we're working through as I mentioned earlier with him now.

404
00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,360
Speaker 7: But when you talk about a player that can play

405
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 7: more than one position, you talk about a player that

406
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,880
Speaker 7: can help create a certain toughness or bring a certain

407
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,640
Speaker 7: toughness with him, nastiness to a defense, to a team.

408
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:13,880
Speaker 8: He's all about the right stuff as as a player

409
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:14,399
Speaker 8: and a person.

410
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 9: That's last week about guiding Max into this new phase

411
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 9: of his career at the professional level.

412
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 3: Obviously him begin to mentor the real.

413
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 7: Uh you know it's again just just like Josh, incredibly

414
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:37,400
Speaker 7: impressed by Trey and his willingness to serve, willingness to share,

415
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,240
Speaker 7: willingness to impart the wisdom he's gained in this league

416
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 7: for you know howevery many years he's now been in

417
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 7: the league and share that with those with those young

418
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 7: players it's incredible when especially when they're battling for potentially

419
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 7: the same position. I think that really says a lot

420
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:59,879
Speaker 7: about who Trey is as a person. And you know,

421
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:04,000
Speaker 7: these these these words did not come from him, But

422
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 7: when I survey the situation, I look at it like,

423
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 7: you know, Trey knows he was he was our first

424
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 7: pick here, right, and it's almost like he feels like

425
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 7: he's back and he's back to play and play at

426
00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 7: a high level, but he's also here to help serve

427
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 7: the future of the organization for many years to come.

428
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 7: And I think that says a lot about who he

429
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 7: is and his actions day in and day out.

430
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 10: Said in Camp lewis create a growth opportunity this week

431
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 10: for Hancock to to really get some reps at Nicol.

432
00:23:39,880 --> 00:23:40,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt.

433
00:23:40,440 --> 00:23:42,760
Speaker 7: Anytime somebody is out right, it's an opportunity for somebody

434
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 7: else to step in and and show us what they have.

435
00:23:45,240 --> 00:23:48,119
Speaker 7: And so those are two young players that that are

436
00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,959
Speaker 7: that have had opportunities more so this spring and uh

437
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 7: cold being out today, you know, we'll provide another opportunity

438
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 7: for some of those safeties, young safeties to show us

439
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 7: what they.

440
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: Have on the spring. He's not on the list that

441
00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 1: you gave. Is that a good indication that he's where

442
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: you want him to be physically right now?

443
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's dialed in physically, he's he looks really good,

444
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:13,119
Speaker 7: and he's just really trying to.

445
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 8: Have a good offseason.

446
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:17,639
Speaker 7: I think it's been the first in what one or

447
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,639
Speaker 7: two years now where he hasn't been having to rehab necessarily, so,

448
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 7: but Matt's always working on things, always working on his body,

449
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 7: making sure he is in prime condition come training camp.

450
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 11: What would make this a successful way for you?

451
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 7: Guess? You know, I think you know more than anything,

452
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,840
Speaker 7: it's how can we continue to connect now that everybody

453
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,119
Speaker 7: is here, Not everybody's going to be practicing, but everybody's

454
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,440
Speaker 7: here under one roof, to continue to connect as a

455
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 7: football team. You know, just adding say, for example, Shack

456
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 7: in the last twenty four hours, right is how does

457
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 7: he integrate into who we are, the connections that that

458
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 7: he makes in that locker room that they make with him.

459
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 7: You know, doing that now, I believe is important that

460
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,320
Speaker 7: we get started, you know, going into training camp.

461
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:09,040
Speaker 8: That's a big piece of us this spring.

462
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 1: That's going to have to.

463
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 7: Continue in training camp, the connectedness of our team. And

464
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 7: then the techniques and the scheme and the playbook and

465
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,200
Speaker 7: introducing these guys that way. And then there's this other

466
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,520
Speaker 7: piece over here which was already asked about with who's

467
00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:26,679
Speaker 7: not practicing and making sure that we can stay as

468
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,639
Speaker 7: healthy as possible this time of year, and then through that,

469
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,159
Speaker 7: through that break. So I know it's not just the

470
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 7: last the next three days, including today, but over the

471
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 7: summer break we call it a break, but the players

472
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,360
Speaker 7: know it's time to ramp up as they head into

473
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:41,880
Speaker 7: training camp.

474
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 10: That new defensive line, the guys that you brought in

475
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 10: kind of developed with the guys you already have.

476
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, really really excited about those young guys, you know,

477
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 7: and it's not just them. They're integrating into into a

478
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 7: veteran group in some ways, and some of the newer

479
00:25:56,920 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 7: players are actually veterans as well, So kind of it

480
00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,360
Speaker 7: from three different angles. And been fun to watch those

481
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,879
Speaker 7: guys work and work with the coaches and work on

482
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 7: their techniques. And you know, that's as as I've said before,

483
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 7: we're gonna go as a as a D line goes

484
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 7: on def on the defensive side. So having some young

485
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 7: players in there, adding some new players, we've got to

486
00:26:21,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 7: get healthy in that room and stay healthy.

487
00:26:22,760 --> 00:26:23,800
Speaker 8: That's also a big part of.

488
00:26:23,800 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 3: It, the boy coaches.

489
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 5: Is Dion Walker doing more than maybe he did when

490
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:29,240
Speaker 5: he first got here?

491
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 11: Of course?

492
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 2: Is he to be fully cleared.

493
00:26:33,040 --> 00:26:33,639
Speaker 3: Full go et.

494
00:26:35,600 --> 00:26:38,800
Speaker 7: I think I believe he's on like four reps period

495
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 7: right now. He went from basically no reps till he's

496
00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:45,840
Speaker 7: up to four. That'll that'll he'll graduate to five in

497
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 7: the next day or two, and and then we head

498
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 7: into the end of the summertime with the intent of

499
00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:53,760
Speaker 7: training camp picking up where we left off at least.

500
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,880
Speaker 7: So yeah, he's you know, he's come from a long

501
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,080
Speaker 7: ways away to and credit to him, credit to our

502
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 7: training staff. Now we're in a position where he can

503
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 7: start to rep and get more and more run.

504
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,000
Speaker 2: What have you seen from Max Harrison. It's only been

505
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 2: a month, but from a bookie the first.

506
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:13,359
Speaker 7: Time two and he can't where we had well, I

507
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,399
Speaker 7: think everybody saw the night of the draft was the

508
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:19,600
Speaker 7: you know, the character really shown shown through for who

509
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,360
Speaker 7: he is as a person, the energy he brings day

510
00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 7: in and day out, vibrant personality, great smile. Now it's

511
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:31,200
Speaker 7: time to play football, right so you know he's learning

512
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: the playbook he's learning the techniques again, the onboarding process,

513
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 7: how life is in the NFL this time of year.

514
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:42,840
Speaker 8: In what you're seeing really with Max is let's just

515
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 8: say he started here.

516
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 11: That's not that it's low.

517
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 7: It's just all these rookies come in and start at

518
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,199
Speaker 7: a certain point, and then he's every day really been

519
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,639
Speaker 7: intent on getting better, having a purpose going out to

520
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 7: the practice field, and a lot of our young players

521
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:56,120
Speaker 7: have been doing that as well.

522
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 2: All right, that's head coach Sean McDermott addressing the media

523
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:03,920
Speaker 2: prior to practice today. We'll have some comments from the

524
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 2: players later on in the show in the post practice

525
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 2: Q and a with the media once practice has concluded.

526
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 2: That'll probably be somewhere near the final half hour of

527
00:28:13,320 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 2: our show today. Topic of discussion for you, what team

528
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: building exercise would you have the Bills do here in

529
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:25,680
Speaker 2: mini camp? As you just heard coach say, the number

530
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 2: one thing that would stamp this a successful mini camp

531
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 2: is if they connect with the entire balance of the

532
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: roster now Here. He's all about pulling everybody in into

533
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 2: one coagulated group where players on defense can relate to

534
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 2: players on offense. They know them by name, they know

535
00:28:50,080 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 2: what their families, like they know how many kids they have.

536
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:57,440
Speaker 2: There are these kinds of connections that he fields feels

537
00:28:57,520 --> 00:29:03,200
Speaker 2: truly binds a team, and the beneficiary effect of that

538
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 2: is guys play harder for one another on the field,

539
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 2: especially when the stuff hits the fan. In a game,

540
00:29:09,920 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 2: maybe the offense has three consecutive three and outs, like

541
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:14,880
Speaker 2: we saw in Seattle last year. They start the game

542
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:18,120
Speaker 2: three three and outs in a row, and they're in

543
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 2: like a seven to nothing hole, and the offense can't

544
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,640
Speaker 2: get out of their own way and the defense is

545
00:29:23,720 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: locking it down. Greg Russeau's taking the game over at

546
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 2: the beginning. He's got a sack, a battered pass, they

547
00:29:28,520 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 2: get a takeaway, and then you know, Seattle has disaster

548
00:29:32,480 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 2: on the goal line. They fumble the ball away to

549
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,840
Speaker 2: turnover on downs on a goal line stand. That's the

550
00:29:38,920 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 2: defense taken up for an offense that they know intimately.

551
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:43,360
Speaker 2: They know those guys they're struggling over there. All right,

552
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,800
Speaker 2: let's take up for those guys. You know it, I

553
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 2: mean better than I do it. It means something, and

554
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 2: it translates to the play on the field.

555
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it also keeps it used to be back

556
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: in the day you'd hear about teams where an offense

557
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: is mad at the defense. They're not picking them, they're

558
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 1: in it. This heads all out off it. You got

559
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: to remember, it's not offense and defense against the other team.

560
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,880
Speaker 1: It's all of us against the other team. And this this,

561
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, it alleviates all that petty inter fighting stuff

562
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 1: that you got back in the day when you know

563
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: you you were kind of split down the middle, you know,

564
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: with offensive and defense specialists. It's a team, and it's

565
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,640
Speaker 1: not just offense against the defense. It's not you know,

566
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: just you guys going out and doing your job. It

567
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:30,520
Speaker 1: does make a difference, and it's part of why this

568
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: team has become a little bit different in Buffalo sports history.

569
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 1: You know, famously, when free agency. I was around when

570
00:30:41,880 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: free agency began, and the thought always was that, man,

571
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 1: nobody's ever going to want to come play in Buffalo

572
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:47,720
Speaker 1: because of the weather, because of a small market.

573
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: No, not so much.

574
00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: With this regime. You got guys signing up to come

575
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: out here and play because they've they've got a really

576
00:30:56,800 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: good reputation of how they do business with their players

577
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,400
Speaker 1: and how they take care of him and what it's

578
00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: like to be a Buffalo build it now, and this

579
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: stuff we see out here in mini camp is is

580
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:09,920
Speaker 1: part of the reason it gets to that point. Yeah,

581
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 1: that was asked if Sean later in this interview. We

582
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: didn't listen to all of it, but somebody asked, you know, where,

583
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,920
Speaker 1: how far have you come from where you.

584
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:21,760
Speaker 2: Were year one? You're micromanager.

585
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:26,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're micromanaging everything, And he said, you know, yeah,

586
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 1: it's a little bit more continuity now, a little bit

587
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:31,880
Speaker 1: more of established. We don't have to do every little detail.

588
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: Mostly there's a culture here. Yeah, he doesn't have to

589
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 2: grow the culture and coach the team. That part is

590
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: taking care of itself.

591
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: The guys he has in the building know his know

592
00:31:39,800 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to look like. There's a lot more people.

593
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,080
Speaker 1: It's not just Sean McDermott and Brandon being coming in here,

594
00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: having being close friends and talking about this stuff at

595
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:50,640
Speaker 1: length when they were underlings of other guys who were

596
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: doing it, saying this is how we should run it

597
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,200
Speaker 1: if we ever get our chance, let's run it like

598
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: this and do this. And they are the only two

599
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,360
Speaker 1: guys in the building who knew what it was supposed

600
00:31:57,360 --> 00:31:58,080
Speaker 1: to look like back then.

601
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I remember interviewing him in twenty seven and he

602
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: said the most important thing is we have to have

603
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 2: the right guys on the bus. I mean, he was

604
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 2: still trying to get the right players on the roster.

605
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 2: They weren't all here yet. Got to take a break here,

606
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,960

Speaker 13: how the season is breaking, so love is in the air.

627
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 13: I got a response to your direct question and I

628
00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 13: got an off topic question. My recommendation for team building

629
00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 13: would be give them all Ayahuasca tea, put them in

630
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 13: the new stadium, have Rick James gamble on and free design,

631
00:33:30,800 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 13: give him a free concert and hopefully the Northern Lights

632
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 13: will be on in the background.

633
00:33:35,360 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 2: Okay, that was a heck of a recipe. There you go,

634
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:41,000
Speaker 2: and that would be a heck of a feat by

635
00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 2: one Rick James. May he rest in peace, but appreciate

636
00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 2: the compliments Steve. And yeah, you can pull up Bills

00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:11,760
Speaker 1: in the big picture of everything that is Buffalo Bills

648
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:31,279

660
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:03,279
Speaker 1: the engines of the new stadium. They're gonna have some

661
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: sort of concert in there before they have a football game,

662
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: preseason all that stuff. And it's all right around the corner.

663
00:35:10,120 --> 00:35:12,879
Speaker 1: I mean, we're starting like in a month. It's gonna

664
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: all start a lot of fun to think about. So, yeah,

665
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,359
Speaker 1: you're you're right, Stephen, Virginia is a lot to love

666
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:21,200
Speaker 1: about what the Bills are going through and have on

667
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:22,960
Speaker 1: the near horizon.

668
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but give us a team building exercise. I don't

669
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:28,120
Speaker 2: think ayahuasca is going to be a part of it

670
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:28,919
Speaker 2: anytime soon.

671
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:30,919
Speaker 1: Darkness retreat again.

672
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll living a hole somewhere for four days and yeah. Wow, okay,

673
00:35:38,040 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: it's something. Let's go back to the phones and to

674
00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: Tom on the west side. What's up Tom?

675
00:35:45,280 --> 00:35:48,360
Speaker 14: Hey, guys, I was thinking and this question's harder to

676
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,759
Speaker 14: answer that it appears because I was thinking about like

677
00:35:51,960 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 14: individual things like repelling down the side of one Seneca

678
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,800
Speaker 14: tower or going over the falls in a barrel. But

679
00:36:00,120 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 14: that's not team building. So what I'm thinking is, back

680
00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,759
Speaker 14: in the day, they used to have this thing called

681
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 14: the Ygatta Regatta where everybody would build a raft and

682
00:36:10,719 --> 00:36:14,040
Speaker 14: you would float from the foot of Ontario Street down

683
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:17,720
Speaker 14: in the city of Tonawanda, and you would get points

684
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 14: for speed or points for being the most dialistic. There's

685
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 14: different ways that they can point this thing and great

686
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:30,759
Speaker 14: them and the winner, the winner of each position group

687
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 14: that builds the best raft get the free dinner at

688
00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:35,759
Speaker 14: a local restaurant.

689
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:40,320
Speaker 2: Wow, okay, I don't know that Thoms was very specific.

690
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,680
Speaker 1: I don't know that getting wet in the river is

691
00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:43,640
Speaker 1: worth a free dinner.

692
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:45,200
Speaker 11: Yeah.

693
00:36:45,239 --> 00:36:50,439
Speaker 2: You also have to remember here, that you probably don't

694
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 2: want a team building exercise that requires liability waivers. Yeah,

695
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 2: because I don't think the personnel department or upper management

696
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 2: or even the owner the risk you might be running.

697
00:37:02,160 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 1: Gosh, you a homemade raft, Yeah, floating them down the

698
00:37:05,760 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: Buffalo River. He had no thanks, but I get it. Yeah,

699
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:13,799
Speaker 1: stuff like that is fun. And everybody's been through, most

700
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 1: people at this point, because team building is now almost

701
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:23,600
Speaker 1: a cottage industry. You've all we've all seen stuff where

702
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,319
Speaker 1: people do you know, the trust fall where you've got

703
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,359
Speaker 1: a group of people and the falls back into their arms.

704
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:28,920
Speaker 1: You got to catch them and they learn to trust

705
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 1: people around them and all that stuff going on. They're

706
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:34,160
Speaker 1: fun stuff.

707
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:38,319
Speaker 3: I don't know. Yeah.

708
00:37:38,640 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 2: Did you guys ever do any in the offseason?

709
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 9: Yeah?

710
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 2: I mean do you go on little outings team outings together,

711
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,600
Speaker 2: like even organized just by the players, not by the

712
00:37:48,680 --> 00:37:49,399
Speaker 2: coaches or anything.

713
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 1: Yes.

714
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 15: Uh.

715
00:37:50,719 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 1: Back in the day, Glenn Parker had a place out

716
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 1: south of Buffalo, and he had his Navy's good friends

717
00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 1: with his neighbors. And the guy had a patch, a

718
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,960
Speaker 1: big square patch of woods that was like twenty five

719
00:38:00,239 --> 00:38:01,960
Speaker 1: thirty maybe forty acres. I don't know what it was,

720
00:38:02,400 --> 00:38:04,600
Speaker 1: and we went all of us, the whole team went

721
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: out and paintballed two teams. Yeah, well against it was

722
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: like five or six different times. You go in offense

723
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: against defense, and then fat guys teams, fat guys against athletes,

724
00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: and then it was probably well right then it was

725
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, uh, we'd have.

726
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,600
Speaker 2: Big targets against small quick targets. Probably not a good

727
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,640
Speaker 2: ending for the big guys.

728
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 1: And then it was like all you guys get in

729
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: this bunker and we're gonna we're gonna try and take

730
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,640
Speaker 1: it over, you know, that kind of thing. And yeah,

731
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:31,839
Speaker 1: so we had different exercise that we did a lot

732
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: of fun, a lot of fun, and uh we did

733
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: that for a couple of years. That was a great

734
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:38,719
Speaker 1: idea that we had, you know, pig roast and.

735
00:38:39,480 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 2: Oh afterwards, yeah, a real lord of the Fly stuff.

736
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 1: We all drank water, you know. Yeah, right, so that

737
00:38:46,760 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So it was, uh yeah, that kind

738
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: of stuff. We did that back in the day, and

739
00:38:51,200 --> 00:38:53,160
Speaker 1: that was great. Glenn, I'll never forget Glenn Parker was

740
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 1: a genius and and he pulled that out. He said,

741
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:59,600
Speaker 1: let's do that, and we did. And of course whatever

742
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:03,279
Speaker 1: was of available technology wise, the boys spent I whan

743
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: we had paintball grenades. Oh my god, we had you know,

744
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:08,959
Speaker 1: all the guys went out and they got all the gear.

745
00:39:10,600 --> 00:39:10,880
Speaker 11: It was.

746
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:15,239
Speaker 2: It was a blast. And I'm guessing that the uh,

747
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:18,640
Speaker 2: the paintball guns even back then fully automatic.

748
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, we had some guys that. Yeah, yeah, they had

749
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,160
Speaker 1: some gear. Now, okay, so it was fun. Yeah, it

750
00:39:25,280 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 1: was fun.

751
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 2: Let's go to Mark in West senecon next. What's up Mark?

752
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 16: Hey, guys, how are you good?

753
00:39:30,840 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: Good?

754
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 16: When I think about this, the first thing that comes

755
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,359
Speaker 16: to my mind is the one thing that these kind

756
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,320
Speaker 16: of guys, these elite athletes love to do more than anything,

757
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 16: is to compete, no matter what it is. So I'm thinking, well,

758
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:47,800
Speaker 16: you know what do they like to compete at? And

759
00:39:47,880 --> 00:39:51,839
Speaker 16: it's almost anything. I mean, they could probably make darts competitive.

760
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:54,839
Speaker 16: So I'm thinking, well, maybe they could do different things

761
00:39:54,880 --> 00:39:58,320
Speaker 16: that they'd never do athletically, like, for instance, bring a

762
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:00,160
Speaker 16: bunch of hockey nets and with the targets in the

763
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 16: corners and shoot pucks at it, turn it into a competition.

764
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 16: Maybe set up some basketball nuts and have a pig

765
00:40:08,080 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 16: shooting cond you know, play pig like he used to

766
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 16: do when you were a kid, or even just a

767
00:40:12,280 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 16: free throw shooting contest and maybe a little bit of

768
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 16: underwear Olympics where it's under control, but so they don't

769
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 16: compete too much and get hurt, or maybe having like

770
00:40:22,520 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 16: they say, the Big Ugly split up into two teams

771
00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:26,360
Speaker 16: and have a tuggle war.

772
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 8: Into they've done that.

773
00:40:27,760 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, they do that. Yeah.

774
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:30,719
Speaker 11: Or dodgeball.

775
00:40:31,560 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 1: They play dodgeball and stuff too.

776
00:40:33,080 --> 00:40:33,279
Speaker 9: Yeah.

777
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,760
Speaker 16: So but just something. I don't think you need trust

778
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,759
Speaker 16: building things as far as bringing the team together. I

779
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:42,799
Speaker 16: think you just need the guys to be around each other,

780
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 16: to laugh and enjoy each other's company, and in the

781
00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:49,520
Speaker 16: middle of that, maybe be competing for something that they

782
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:51,800
Speaker 16: can brag about on the field or whatever or in

783
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 16: the locker room when it's all said and done. But

784
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:56,719
Speaker 16: you know, like I said, I think the thing that's

785
00:40:56,760 --> 00:41:00,879
Speaker 16: most important is these guys love to compete, and they're

786
00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:04,600
Speaker 16: all elite athletes, So you know, bring them together that way.

787
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: That's good. That's a good idea, and you're right, that's

788
00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:11,200
Speaker 1: what these guys love to do. That's why they gravitate

789
00:41:11,280 --> 00:41:11,960
Speaker 1: towards sports.

790
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:17,480
Speaker 2: We saw some spirited dodgeball competitions here in the fieldhouse.

791
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,439
Speaker 1: It gets loud. It gets like because you can imagine.

792
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:23,399
Speaker 2: They would have four different games going on at once.

793
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 2: They'd have some plastic fencing.

794
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:29,160
Speaker 1: They randomly put them into groups, into teams, so they

795
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,560
Speaker 1: all kind of band together. Then they put these little

796
00:41:31,560 --> 00:41:33,360
Speaker 1: padocks out and they got like four games going and

797
00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm telling you what the yeah, the lid comes off.

798
00:41:35,600 --> 00:41:41,120
Speaker 1: I mean they're in full throat yelling screen. There's cheering

799
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: section complain about the grip into the officials, which are

800
00:41:45,239 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 1: the coach or whoever grit that that that but that's

801
00:41:47,400 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 1: all you know, self self policed, and uh they just yeah,

802
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: that's exactly right. I mean, Mark gets it. It's about

803
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,640
Speaker 1: competing and competing together in a way that forces you

804
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:03,080
Speaker 1: to depend on each other and guys that you haven't

805
00:42:03,120 --> 00:42:05,319
Speaker 1: really competed with before. It's fun. Yeah, that's the fun

806
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:05,800
Speaker 1: part about it.

807
00:42:05,960 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 2: What team building exercise would you have the Bills do

808
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,880

825
00:42:56,640 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 13: caller said about competing, and I agree. But to me,

826
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,560
Speaker 13: the thing that sticks out is Steve going back to

827
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,759
Speaker 13: your days. I got a couple of things here is

828
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:11,080
Speaker 13: when Jim, Kelly, Therman, Thomas and all you guys made

829
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,000
Speaker 13: the bill a big family. And you got to give

830
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:17,320
Speaker 13: credit to Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott for exactly what

831
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 13: they've built here. Because you turn on ESPN, you turn

832
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,960
Speaker 13: on the NFL network, the bills are featured. You know,

833
00:43:24,080 --> 00:43:26,680
Speaker 13: they're showing like today. I swear they probably had the

834
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:29,279
Speaker 13: bills on the NFL network probably two or three times

835
00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:33,279
Speaker 13: already when years past it was the Dallas Cowboys and

836
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,359
Speaker 13: now it's starting. You know, since they've got here, it's

837
00:43:37,400 --> 00:43:40,800
Speaker 13: been a big family and I love that about that.

838
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 13: And Chris going back to your thing yesterday which I

839
00:43:44,200 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 13: tried to get on, but it was a long day.

840
00:43:48,080 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 13: About what autograph or whatever, Steve you Steve. I remember

841
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:57,080
Speaker 13: as a kid. I'm an old man now and my

842
00:43:57,200 --> 00:43:59,320
Speaker 13: father took me to the Therman Thomas show and you

843
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:01,080
Speaker 13: signed the Steve your jersey form.

844
00:44:01,200 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 2: Look at that.

845
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:06,440
Speaker 13: So I wanted to get on yesterday and talk about that,

846
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:07,560
Speaker 13: but I didn't have a chance.

847
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:09,920
Speaker 11: But I'm an old man.

848
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 12: Now, just like just like you.

849
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:12,239
Speaker 2: Yeah, there you go.

850
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Lee, you're younger than me. Uh, that's yeah, Jim,

851
00:44:18,120 --> 00:44:20,880
Speaker 1: we had when some people might know, this is a

852
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:23,000
Speaker 1: long time ago now, I say a long time ago.

853
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,160
Speaker 1: When McDermott got the job here in Buffalo, he reached

854
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,840
Speaker 1: out to the old guys like Jim Thurman, Bruce, Andre, Darryl,

855
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:36,120
Speaker 1: Darryl Cornelius, myself. He had us out to dinner at

856
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 1: a place downtown. It's just a private room and it

857
00:44:38,719 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 1: was Sean and those guys, and I was lucky enough

858
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:45,719
Speaker 1: to be included. And he asked us about you know,

859
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:51,279
Speaker 1: that team was special. He goes why basically, and of

860
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:59,040
Speaker 1: course Bruce Thurman, Darryl, Jim and Andre Biscuit. You know,

861
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,640
Speaker 1: they all told him one of the reasons, one of

862
00:45:01,719 --> 00:45:04,960
Speaker 1: the big message was that we liked each other off

863
00:45:05,040 --> 00:45:07,200
Speaker 1: the field and hung out because and we thought it

864
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,680
Speaker 1: at that time and it still is true. Buffalo is

865
00:45:09,719 --> 00:45:12,520
Speaker 1: a nice place to create camaraderie because the guys are

866
00:45:12,680 --> 00:45:15,719
Speaker 1: close to each other. You live in La or New York,

867
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,880
Speaker 1: you might live forty five minutes to an hour away

868
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:20,839
Speaker 1: from one of your teammates. You never see them away

869
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: from the facility. They got their like way away. Yeah,

870
00:45:24,440 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 1: and we all know you're twenty minutes away from everybody

871
00:45:26,880 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, so that helped that process. But we also

872
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,520
Speaker 1: told him it took a while. You know, they got

873
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: Jim got there in eighty six and they were the

874
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: bickering Bills in eighty nine, so three years later, then

875
00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 1: in ninety things changed when him and Bruce became friends.

876
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,759
Speaker 1: It took that much time for them to break down

877
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,759
Speaker 1: those walls and become friends. And you know now to

878
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,480
Speaker 1: even today, they cared deeply about each other and Thurman's

879
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,000
Speaker 1: in there and Biscuit and the whole thing. But it

880
00:45:53,360 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: happened organically back then because nobody was going anywhere. Free

881
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:00,399
Speaker 1: agency wasn't a thing. Team building wasn't a thing either,

882
00:46:00,480 --> 00:46:02,239
Speaker 1: because you were stuck on the team. You had to

883
00:46:02,320 --> 00:46:04,640
Speaker 1: make it work. There was no reason to think you

884
00:46:04,719 --> 00:46:10,839
Speaker 1: were gonna be unhappy, Sean, and he's, you know, during

885
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: that conversation around that table that night, Shaun's took his

886
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,799
Speaker 1: phone out and started. He goes and he apologized right away.

887
00:46:15,800 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 1: He goes, listen, I'm not I'm not ignoring you or

888
00:46:19,560 --> 00:46:24,839
Speaker 1: being I'm taking it. I'm writing some stuff down. So now,

889
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:27,520
Speaker 1: I had the conversation just with one of the assistant

890
00:46:27,560 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 1: coaches last week and I noticed he goes and he

891
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:35,839
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, you get it. You're exactly right. I said.

892
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,600
Speaker 1: One of the major issues coaches these days face is

893
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 1: team building. That's their whole thing, because they got new

894
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: players every year and white and it's not just a

895
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 1: guy that's gonna like like me take reps on special teams.

896
00:46:52,920 --> 00:46:55,200
Speaker 1: It's a guys we need him to start and play

897
00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 1: and he needs to feel good and be here and

898
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,400
Speaker 1: that so they put their arms around there. It's a

899
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:03,799
Speaker 1: big thing. And McDermott has obviously, I mean we've been

900
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:07,960
Speaker 1: talking about it all to day. He's masterful. His staff

901
00:47:08,080 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 1: is masterful at team building. And that is now in

902
00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:18,000
Speaker 1: this point in history in the NFL, a much bigger

903
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:21,600
Speaker 1: part of the process than it has ever been because

904
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,319
Speaker 1: of free agency and because of the change.

905
00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,279
Speaker 2: You need it right now. You need to employ it

906
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:28,759
Speaker 2: more to keep your team strong. Bob on a sale

907
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:29,960

908
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:35,879

909
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,799
Speaker 17: I just got to reiterate what you guys are saying

910
00:47:38,880 --> 00:47:41,680
Speaker 17: about Brandon and Sean. I've been saying it for five

911
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,279
Speaker 17: years every time I call in. Man, you'd have to

912
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 17: be blessed to have them as coaches for your kids,

913
00:47:47,840 --> 00:47:51,640
Speaker 17: and we're blessed to have them. Things have changed. What

914
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 17: I want to say, though, is Steve, I got a

915
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:56,640
Speaker 17: question for you. Not too many times you get to

916
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,360
Speaker 17: shut down a stadium and I'm supposed to be on

917
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 17: your white for saying that we are gonna play eleven

918
00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 17: home games, We're gonna win the eleventh game and go

919
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:08,520
Speaker 17: to the super Bowl. Is that something that would be

920
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:12,480
Speaker 17: in the back of Josh's mind, like I mean, MVP

921
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:16,200
Speaker 17: he gets married this year. I mean, what a perfect

922
00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 17: excellent story, right, Is that something like you think is

923
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 17: in his head?

924
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to know that.

925
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,600
Speaker 17: If it's not, let's get it in his head, because man,

926
00:48:26,719 --> 00:48:29,319
Speaker 17: let's do it right. Let's end this rich stadium, which

927
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,920
Speaker 17: I call it, with a win, go to the Super

928
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 17: Bowl and carry on. Yet this team's special guys were blessed.

Speaker 2: Thanks Bob. Yeah, I don't know like you really, it's

933
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 2: such a one game at a time approach, because that's

934
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:01,760
Speaker 2: that's too big to worry about all in one fell swoop.

935
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 2: You have to compartmentalize these games. I mean, there are

936
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 2: times where you're here coaches say, yeah, we kind of

937
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 2: break the season into quadrants. You know, when there was

938
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,880
Speaker 2: a sixteen game season. Let's just worry about this block

939
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:14,719
Speaker 2: of games here and take them one at a time.

940
00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: So to think about hosting an AFC title game in

941
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:21,560
Speaker 2: this stadium in the last year of its existence, I

942
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:25,480
Speaker 2: think is so far away right now, it's not even

943
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: a shred of a thought.

944
00:49:26,680 --> 00:49:30,000
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys like Josh and the old guys

945
00:49:30,120 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 1: may have you know, some of the guys that have

946
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: been here through some of the trials and tribulations and

947
00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,080
Speaker 1: the post and the postseason challenges, they've faced. You know,

948
00:49:39,440 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: some of those old guys will probably have at least

949
00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:43,200
Speaker 1: a conversation about.

950
00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:46,160
Speaker 2: Like a passing thoughts could nice if we did.

951
00:49:46,040 --> 00:49:48,120
Speaker 1: This and not dad, But man, oh man, it's a

952
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:52,560
Speaker 1: it's a very much a here and now atmosphere. And

953
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: we got stuff we're doing today in mini camp. We're

954
00:49:55,239 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: not thinking about eleventh game AFC Championship game in Buffalo,

955
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,120
Speaker 1: sending off the old stadium in the right way when

956
00:50:02,200 --> 00:50:04,799
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah, all that stuff, the whole big conversation.

957
00:50:05,719 --> 00:50:07,960
Speaker 1: Most of that is on the table for this group.

958
00:50:07,960 --> 00:50:09,719
Speaker 1: It's been on the table for four years anyway. They've

959
00:50:09,760 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: been talking about like that anyway, about the same amount.

960
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 1: It's not something that you, I mean, nobody's putting it up.

961
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:16,640
Speaker 11: You know.

962
00:50:16,719 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: Maybe they're writing it down in their personal goals, you know,

963
00:50:18,960 --> 00:50:22,080
Speaker 1: for the team or whatever, but nobody's out there spending

964
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 1: a lot of time thinking about it because you got

965
00:50:23,560 --> 00:50:24,920
Speaker 1: too much on your plate every day.

966
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, but we come back more

967
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 2: of your phone calls an hour. Number two Diane and

968

Speaker 2: have some post podium practice commentary from some of the players.

Speaker 2: We'll get those to you as soon as they are available.

976
00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:42,640

Speaker 2: bills due for this mini camp period. We go to

00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 2: Diane in Clarence next. What's up Diane?

981
00:51:55,520 --> 00:51:59,399
Speaker 18: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my call. First, I want

982
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:03,000
Speaker 18: to start out by saying, Steve, please keep on with

983
00:52:03,160 --> 00:52:06,239
Speaker 18: your let's go because you always pay it at the

984
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:10,320
Speaker 18: perfect time and I absolutely love it. To touch on

985
00:52:10,440 --> 00:52:14,080
Speaker 18: the subject. As far as team building, there to me

986
00:52:14,280 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 18: is nothing like camping, and Steve you kind of mentioned

987
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:20,759
Speaker 18: it with what you guys did with Glenn Parker. I

988
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 18: think a nice camp weekend or night or forty eight

989
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 18: hours is a great way to bond. You can have

990
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:33,239
Speaker 18: fishing competitions where I don't think anyone's gonna get hurt

991
00:52:33,320 --> 00:52:39,040
Speaker 18: doing that capture the flag, different things of doing stuff

992
00:52:39,040 --> 00:52:40,440
Speaker 18: in the woods, because I know a lot of you

993
00:52:40,520 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 18: guys are woodsy kind of guys and hunters and stuff,

994
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 18: and we camp as a family with a big group

995
00:52:46,280 --> 00:52:48,640
Speaker 18: of people, and I'll tell you, every year our bond

996
00:52:48,680 --> 00:52:51,080
Speaker 18: gets stronger and stronger and more come in to our

997
00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 18: group and it's it's really a good way to bond

998
00:52:55,360 --> 00:52:57,720
Speaker 18: with the guys in the middle of the woods around

999
00:52:57,800 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 18: the campfire, cooking, hunting or whatever. I think that's a

1000
00:53:02,719 --> 00:53:06,760
Speaker 18: great thing. And lastly, I just want to just comment

1001
00:53:06,960 --> 00:53:10,520
Speaker 18: kind of off the beaten path here for our new

1002
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:14,920
Speaker 18: stadium coming up. I am so excited for these players

1003
00:53:15,480 --> 00:53:19,080
Speaker 18: to be in that stadium. I was just in high

1004
00:53:19,120 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 18: Mark Stadium over the weekend for the special Olympics charity fundraiser.

1005
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,200
Speaker 18: The Jill's alumni all got together, forty years of us

1006
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 18: girls out there, and I'll tell you that was a

1007
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 18: great thing bringing us together that stadium. These players so

1008
00:53:36,120 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 18: deserve it. I finally got a chance to get into

1009
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:42,280
Speaker 18: the locker room and view the behind the scenes stuff

1010
00:53:42,320 --> 00:53:43,520
Speaker 18: I never got to see when I.

1011
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:44,360
Speaker 16: Was a cheerleader.

1012
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 18: And those guys are ready for a new locker room. Right,

1013
00:53:48,680 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 18: So that's that's my thoughts on the team building.

1014
00:53:52,239 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: And let's go absolutely, thanks Diana. I'll never turn down

1015
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:01,680
Speaker 2: fishing and yeah, no, he gets hurt doing that. Unless

1016
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 2: they take a hook to the nose on a bad

1017
00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 2: cast by somebody else, they go in.

1018
00:54:06,320 --> 00:54:10,080
Speaker 1: That's right. Yeah, camping is great. It's great for your

1019
00:54:10,160 --> 00:54:14,319
Speaker 1: family to go camping because you all have to kind

1020
00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:17,239
Speaker 1: of endure it together. It's never perfect, although you have

1021
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,080
Speaker 1: great times and all that, but you got to set

1022
00:54:19,120 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: it up and it's you.

1023
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 2: Know, weather depends, whether it depends superb.

1024
00:54:22,200 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 1: It's if it goes perfect, all that is perfect. It's great.

1025
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,160
Speaker 1: There's nothing like it. But there's always something that you'll

1026
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:28,920
Speaker 1: have to endure together. And that's really where the team

1027
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: building comes in. You got to get through it together,

1028
00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:36,200
Speaker 1: and your kids see you when it's not perfect and

1029
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:38,840
Speaker 1: you got to handle it and you're not at your

1030
00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,359
Speaker 1: best either, they're not at their best, and you get

1031
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,279
Speaker 1: through it together. And then in the midst of all that,

1032
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 1: you know, you have marshmallows around the fire and it's great. So, yes,

1033
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,920
Speaker 1: you're right. Camping gives a lot of a lot of

1034
00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,240
Speaker 1: positive benefit towards team building, but it's yeah, I equate

1035
00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,239
Speaker 1: camping with family buildings. So yeah, I did it when

1036
00:54:56,239 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: I was a kid with my three older brothers and

1037
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: my parents, and I did it with our five children

1038
00:55:00,760 --> 00:55:02,400
Speaker 1: as they were growing up. Now they're doing it with

1039
00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:06,560
Speaker 1: all of their kids, and I famous Tom. I yes,

1040
00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: I tag along once in a while, my wife and

1041
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,400
Speaker 1: I and also you know my four now and my

1042
00:55:12,440 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: son in law as wells is always invited. We go

1043
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:19,439
Speaker 1: winter camping. That's a little and that's that's not that's you. Yeah,

1044
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:22,320
Speaker 1: you got to get through that. That's really building. So

1045
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: I like the thought and the effect of it. Getting

1046
00:55:26,680 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: ninety one guys at a place where they can do

1047
00:55:29,800 --> 00:55:37,839
Speaker 1: that tough, But yeah, fishing competitions all that's awesome. That's

1048
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:39,560
Speaker 1: a great idea. You got to you gotta do something.

1049
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:44,960
Speaker 1: Competing is is crucial day. It was a day it

1050
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:47,279
Speaker 1: was Mark from West Seneca brought that up first, and

1051
00:55:47,360 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 1: he's right, if you can get him to compete at

1052
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,080
Speaker 1: something together.

1053
00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 2: And if guys chopping wood for the fires, just who

1054
00:55:53,600 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 2: can shop more wood than two minutes.

1055
00:55:55,320 --> 00:56:01,439
Speaker 1: In an NFL locker room. If somebody throws a ball

1056
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,640
Speaker 1: of tape, somebody else thinks they can throw it better,

1057
00:56:04,760 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 1: I mean don't. Furthermore, I can you know, I'll put

1058
00:56:08,360 --> 00:56:10,719
Speaker 1: it in that bucket. You you can't bank it off

1059
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:14,800
Speaker 1: of that into that. It is competition off the charts,

1060
00:56:15,000 --> 00:56:16,920
Speaker 1: twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. Anytime

1061
00:56:16,960 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: there's guys in there that're competing at doing something. That's

1062
00:56:19,480 --> 00:56:22,240
Speaker 1: why they put cornhole things in their ping pong stuff

1063
00:56:22,239 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 1: in there. Famously, all these locker rooms have something in there, dartboard,

1064
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:31,520
Speaker 1: whatever it is. Every NFL locker room has some game

1065
00:56:31,960 --> 00:56:34,640
Speaker 1: that they can compete at because they just can't not

1066
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:36,520
Speaker 1: and they have to have an.

1067
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:40,200
Speaker 2: Outlet for it. To Mary in North Carolina, next, what's

1068
00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 2: up Mary?

1069
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 19: Hi, guys, how are you saying? I agree with the

1070
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 19: caller that says physical activity was part pollenized, But I'm

1071
00:56:51,040 --> 00:56:54,960
Speaker 19: gonna say physical activity is one way to form bonds

1072
00:56:55,040 --> 00:57:00,239
Speaker 19: of trust cooperation. But as a former teacher, sure we

1073
00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:03,080
Speaker 19: used to play the game or play the activity to

1074
00:57:03,440 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 19: truth to truth and a lie, so you get to

1075
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 19: know people on a personal level because even in your lies,

1076
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 19: there's some truth and you're very surprised what you don't

1077
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:20,120
Speaker 19: know about someone until you play have an activity like that.

1078
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 19: And I agree with the other caller, about Buffalo Bills

1079
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:30,640
Speaker 19: are becoming America's team, and I want to close with again,

1080
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:31,400
Speaker 19: go Bills.

1081
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:35,040
Speaker 2: All right, thanks, Mary, appreciate that too. Truths and a Lie.

1082
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: You ever played that one?

1083
00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:39,000
Speaker 1: I've seen it played. I don't remember ever playing it,

1084
00:57:39,080 --> 00:57:41,080
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah.

1085
00:57:42,840 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 2: I remember. We had to do something with our soccer

1086
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 2: team where we had to tell everybody something nobody would

1087
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:51,920
Speaker 2: know about you, like maybe only your parents knew or

1088
00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:54,320
Speaker 2: somebody like that. And one of the guys stood up

1089
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 2: and he said, I had a sixth toe, and like

1090
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,880
Speaker 2: for soccer guys, that's like a big deal, like like

1091
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:05,480
Speaker 2: what where was it? And how did it get removed?

1092
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,600
Speaker 1: What you had it? What happened to it?

1093
00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:11,440
Speaker 2: It was it was the story of the night, Like

1094
00:58:11,560 --> 00:58:13,400
Speaker 2: we made him take a shoe off, the whole thing

1095
00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:16,520
Speaker 2: like it was. Yeah, but we felt we knew the

1096
00:58:16,560 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 2: guy better.

1097
00:58:17,080 --> 00:58:22,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I get it. That's yeah. What do you say?

1098
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean that there's we all have stuff about us

1099
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:27,320
Speaker 1: that you know, nobody else knows, and some of it's

1100
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,680
Speaker 1: irrelevant obviously, and a lot of it is interesting and.

1101
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 2: Some of it's you know, that was interesting.

1102
00:58:31,720 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, right, So yeah, that's fun. Two Truths in a Lies.

1103
00:58:34,800 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 2: Great, Yeah, nobody guessed that one is the lie for him,

1104
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:41,280
Speaker 2: so right right, or everybody guessed it as the lie

1105
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 2: and it was truth. It was one of the truths,

1106
00:58:43,080 --> 00:58:43,960
Speaker 2: that's right had.

1107
00:58:44,200 --> 00:58:46,439
Speaker 1: But holy cow, he's a sixth toe.

1108
00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,160
Speaker 2: He wins that game every time. Nobody's you know what

1109
00:58:49,240 --> 00:58:50,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you're not believe in that?

1110
00:58:50,760 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: Come on? Yeah?

1111
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:55,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, there was some strategy to that one for sure.

1112
00:58:56,240 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 1: Uh.

1113
00:58:56,480 --> 00:58:58,920
Speaker 2: Let's go to Dave in Depew. What's up, Dave?

1114
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:03,600
Speaker 12: Uh, Hi, guys, I had a couple of ideas for you.

1115
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 12: One was the holiday Valley's got the rope course up

1116
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:08,760
Speaker 12: in the trees.

1117
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:12,200
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, I've done that. That's fund that family.

1118
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 12: Awesome place to go. And you talk about team building,

1119
00:59:15,120 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 12: competing the you know, to do the double triple diamond things.

1120
00:59:19,520 --> 00:59:19,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1121
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:26,240
Speaker 12: Another one trap shooting. Oh okay, they come down trap shooting,

1122
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 12: they have them score. Yeah, to put some competition between them.

1123
00:59:30,880 --> 00:59:34,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, that would be good. Yeah, trap shooting. You have

1124
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: to make sure everybody's up to snuff on their firearm safety.

1125
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:41,320
Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's thats And I'll say this, you

1126
00:59:41,360 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 1: would have nobody turned that down. They would all want

1127
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 1: to go something. They would all want to go out

1128
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: there and blast a clay pitch. Oh yeah, that that's big.

1129
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:58,360
Speaker 1: Yeah that's big. So yeah, that's uh, that's a good idea.

1130
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 1: You'd have have, you know, a lot of waivers, waivers

1131
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,880
Speaker 1: and volunteers and all that to you know, go through

1132
01:00:04,920 --> 01:00:07,440
Speaker 1: a training course. You could. You could do that though,

1133
01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: go through a training course in the morning at the

1134
01:00:09,400 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: at the facility and then bust on out to the Yeah,

1135
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,360
Speaker 1: conservation club, Yeah, that would.

1136
01:00:15,640 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 2: That's I've done that ropes course though. I mean you're

1137
01:00:18,680 --> 01:00:20,320
Speaker 2: up in the trees now, I've done a rope. You're

1138
01:00:20,360 --> 01:00:23,840
Speaker 2: twenty feet up. Yeah, you know when you got your

1139
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 2: your latch on the line along with the safety latch

1140
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:27,720
Speaker 2: on top of it.

1141
01:00:27,840 --> 01:00:32,000
Speaker 1: I am not latching my carabiner onto Dion Walker's cable

1142
01:00:32,640 --> 01:00:35,600
Speaker 1: because if he goes over, not only is that cable.

1143
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,400
Speaker 2: Going to hold him, you know what, I'm thinking, there's

1144
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:39,480
Speaker 2: got to be a weight limit for those cables, right,

1145
01:00:39,560 --> 01:00:41,520
Speaker 2: because you're only supposed to go one at a time,

1146
01:00:42,520 --> 01:00:45,920
Speaker 2: and no offense to Don. But he's almost to it

1147
01:00:46,080 --> 01:00:48,439
Speaker 2: to just Dion, Well, no, it'd be a bunch of guys,

1148
01:00:48,480 --> 01:00:50,080
Speaker 2: a bunch of the linemen. I mean, it's almost to

1149
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 2: a Dion Walker's three fifty.

1150
01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:53,960
Speaker 1: Like, can you imagine having those? Yeah, and the.

1151
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,280
Speaker 2: Cable would reach the ground.

1152
01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:56,560
Speaker 1: A great idea, but it.

1153
01:00:56,600 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 20: Doesn't the logistics and then how much givet is there

1154
01:00:59,520 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 20: in this game the trees snap off, shaking and moving

1155
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 20: them Oh my gosh.

1156
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, uh yeah. They at one of those ropes courses

1157
01:01:12,440 --> 01:01:17,360
Speaker 2: they have. It's like a counterweight at the end to

1158
01:01:17,480 --> 01:01:20,480
Speaker 2: get you back to the ground where you send a

1159
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,040
Speaker 2: thing up and you go down and right, but you

1160
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 2: got to know what you're doing there to make for

1161
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:27,440
Speaker 2: a slow, just kind of thing. It was kind of

1162
01:01:27,480 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 2: it was really neat working those things. I enjoyed that.

1163
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 2: I do remember my daughter no pun intended, reached the

1164
01:01:35,080 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 2: end of her rope because the thing lasted like an

1165
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 2: hour and fifteen minutes. She's like, I just want to

1166
01:01:39,200 --> 01:01:44,280
Speaker 2: get down. It's just enough climbing around. I think she

1167
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 2: was like ten or eleven.

1168
01:01:45,880 --> 01:01:47,240
Speaker 1: She was done for the day.

1169
01:01:48,360 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, no, I like that one. That was I

1170
01:01:50,400 --> 01:01:54,440
Speaker 2: had a lot of fun doing that. Let's see what

1171
01:01:54,720 --> 01:01:57,480
Speaker 2: some of the ideas are on the tweet sheet. Tweet

1172
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,680
Speaker 2: sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1173
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 2: equip moving company in the Buffalo Bills what team building

1174
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:05,200
Speaker 2: exercise would you have the Bills do for mini camp.

1175
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,920
Speaker 2: Andrews says, a four v two rondo. It would be

1176
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 2: a good exercise for team building. I've watched teams do

1177
01:02:11,360 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 2: this before and it helps with communication skills, helps with

1178
01:02:13,760 --> 01:02:17,720
Speaker 2: ball control, and improves decision making. Now, this is a

1179
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 2: very common soccer drill, and for those that don't know,

1180
01:02:21,440 --> 01:02:25,240
Speaker 2: rondo's essentially what it is is it's a keep away exercise.

1181
01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,280
Speaker 2: So it would be like four v two in a

1182
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:32,400
Speaker 2: confined space for keeping the ball away from two and

1183
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,760
Speaker 2: you do have to move, you do have to communicate,

1184
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:38,800
Speaker 2: and it involves a lot of quick decision making, a

1185
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 2: lot of communication to maintain that. And whether you put

1186
01:02:42,360 --> 01:02:43,640
Speaker 2: them on a timer and say you got to keep

1187
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 2: it away for thirty seconds, or you have four different

1188
01:02:46,200 --> 01:02:48,560
Speaker 2: groups going and you say it, whoever keeps it away

1189
01:02:48,600 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 2: from the two the longest wins. You know, And there's

1190
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 2: other variations of it that you can incorporate into it,

1191
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 2: including putting goals at the ends and all that stuff.

1192
01:02:57,920 --> 01:03:00,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, having them play a game they're not familiar with

1193
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:01,760
Speaker 1: and stuff is always a good idea because then it

1194
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: levels the playing field for guys in the you get

1195
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: the unexpected guy, like in that game, the kicker is

1196
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:10,080
Speaker 1: great because they play soccer, Oh yeah, predominantly, so that

1197
01:03:10,240 --> 01:03:11,880
Speaker 1: you get get in there with Tyler Bass and they

1198
01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:13,640
Speaker 1: can juggle the ball pretty well.

1199
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 2: The Spanish national team basically made Rondo's famous in their

1200
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,280
Speaker 2: training to the point where everybody started doing it because

1201
01:03:21,360 --> 01:03:24,720
Speaker 2: they won a European Championship, a World Cup and then

1202
01:03:24,720 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 2: another European Championship in succession in the span of six years.

1203
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:29,480
Speaker 2: The like, oh, maybe we should start doing that.

1204
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,919
Speaker 1: Maybe a good idea. Yeah, yeah, And so it's uh that, Yeah,

1205
01:03:34,320 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: we're getting there. I mean, I like that. I like

1206
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: the ideas rondo four on two, trap shooting ropes, course, fishing, camping,

1207
01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,720
Speaker 1: that's all good ideas. You got to think about the

1208
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: logistics of getting ninety guys and the support staff out

1209
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,360
Speaker 1: to do some of this stuff. But yeah, it's uh,

1210
01:03:52,480 --> 01:03:56,240
Speaker 1: it's great. It's a great idea. Yeah, but that's that's

1211
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,560
Speaker 1: kind of you're in we're given. I think through the

1212
01:03:59,640 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: course of the conversation you're getting a sense of what

1213
01:04:01,680 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: this is all about here this week. They're certainly installed

1214
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 1: and stuff. They're all they're certainly putting in football plays

1215
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,400
Speaker 1: and they're talking a lot about the you know scheme,

1216
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:13,760
Speaker 1: the excess and knows of what they're actually what actually

1217
01:04:14,040 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 1: is their job. But they're also finding out who they

1218
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:20,760
Speaker 1: are as a personality in the locker room, what it's

1219
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:22,400
Speaker 1: going to be like to come to work every day,

1220
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 1: and those are vitally important to having a good football team.

1221
01:04:26,040 --> 01:04:29,360
Speaker 2: Jacob on the tweets sheet says, chicken wing eating contest,

1222
01:04:29,600 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: bring in Joey Chestnut and have them compete.

1223
01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1224
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:37,880
Speaker 2: I I The interesting thing about bringing Joey Chestnut in

1225
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:43,200
Speaker 2: is he's excellent and a world champion in the hot

1226
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 2: dog category, but he has been beaten before in the

1227
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 2: chicken wing eating categories, so that I might actually open

1228
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,720
Speaker 2: the door to some guys that could give him a

1229
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:53,479
Speaker 2: run for his money.

1230
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,080
Speaker 1: Well, you got some. You got some guys that can

1231
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,520
Speaker 1: put it away, put it away, Yeah, I mean they're

1232
01:04:58,920 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 1: they they're pro. So I've seen I've seen some do

1233
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 1: some stuff over.

1234
01:05:05,520 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 2: Well, especially the guys that hold it at one end

1235
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:09,520
Speaker 2: and then just you zip it off right.

1236
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:13,160
Speaker 1: And Joey Chestnut his thing too. They google fast. I

1237
01:05:13,240 --> 01:05:15,800
Speaker 1: mean they have a time limit for these guys. They'll

1238
01:05:15,800 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 1: sit down and then they'll watch a three hour baseball

1239
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: game and then they'll camp out for three hours. Yeah,

1240
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,160
Speaker 1: they're posting up. They're not. They're just they just keep

1241
01:05:23,240 --> 01:05:25,640
Speaker 1: you know, certainly like bring another round, play, you just

1242
01:05:25,960 --> 01:05:28,920
Speaker 1: keep it coming. So yeah, it's a little different.

1243
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:35,280
Speaker 2: That's yeah, that could be good. Uh, Bill says frisbee

1244
01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:38,560
Speaker 2: golf at Chestnut Ridge Park. I've said, you know, you've

1245
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:40,800
Speaker 2: been to parks and you've seen these. I am not

1246
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 2: accurate enough with a frisbee. Look, I'm not a good golfer,

1247
01:05:45,200 --> 01:05:47,520
Speaker 2: and I would be better at regular golf than frisbee golf.

1248
01:05:47,520 --> 01:05:48,360
Speaker 2: I'm pretty convinced.

1249
01:05:48,840 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, uh yeah, they could do that. It's it's it's

1250
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:57,760
Speaker 1: fun to go some nice walk and stuff. Yeah, it's ideas.

1251
01:05:57,360 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 2: Hard though, like I know, mastering throwing.

1252
01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I mean it's golf, so you don't have to do it.

1253
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: It's not like a hole in one is right, you know,

1254
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,720
Speaker 1: but you got to get it closel the putting, it's

1255
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 1: like everything your short game, man.

1256
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,680
Speaker 2: Because they have those baskets that have the chains hanging from.

1257
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,280
Speaker 1: Them, right, it knocks it down in the basket.

1258
01:06:16,400 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, because there's slack in the chain. Jack says they

1259
01:06:20,520 --> 01:06:22,720
Speaker 2: should get some rubber boats and bring back the old

1260
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,080
Speaker 2: Allegheny Great Valley Regatta, river rafting with cold Beers and

1261
01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 2: yellow shots through the beautiful Southern tier boat versus boat,

1262
01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 2: competitive but fun, then have a huge barbecue at the end.

1263
01:06:33,880 --> 01:06:35,280
Speaker 2: I can't think of a better way to spend a

1264
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:38,680
Speaker 2: June day. Yeah, I mean I could see guys signing

1265
01:06:38,760 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: up for that for sure. Oh yeah, that's stay on

1266
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 2: the water, little competition with the race.

1267
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,840
Speaker 1: You'd get, Yeah, you'd get close knit. I mean, but

1268
01:06:47,200 --> 01:06:49,120
Speaker 1: you wouldn't get any better football, that's for sure.

1269
01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:53,920
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think even like something like whitewater rafting, although

1270
01:06:53,920 --> 01:06:55,439
Speaker 2: you can't do it this late in the season because

1271
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,160
Speaker 2: the water's not running as fast, but there was somewhere

1272
01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 2: close to do that that would be cool. There's more

1273
01:07:00,560 --> 01:07:03,000
Speaker 2: in Pennsylvania for that than there are Yeah, then there is.

1274
01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 1: I've done that in Pennsylvania. It's fun. But yeah, there's

1275
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 1: plenty of opportunity for that here in Great Lake fishing.

1276
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:12,760
Speaker 2: And who's saying no to a big barbecue at the end.

1277
01:07:12,840 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 2: I mean, my goodness, right, everybody eats right, uh. Peace.

1278
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:22,680
Speaker 2: On the tweet, she says, Halo four player screen tournaments,

1279
01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 2: multiple TVs in the same room, dodgeball is the alternative.

1280
01:07:27,240 --> 01:07:31,640
Speaker 2: That's a major one eighty Peace went from playing Halo

1281
01:07:31,800 --> 01:07:34,520
Speaker 2: the video game to dodgeball. You just went from the

1282
01:07:34,840 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 2: twenty tens to the nineteen eighties and three set in

1283
01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:39,200
Speaker 2: three words.

1284
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:39,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's right.

1285
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 2: Well you I have to imagine you were like unstoppable

1286
01:07:45,400 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 2: in dodgeball in your day.

1287
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it wasn't really hard to take a deal in

1288
01:07:49,960 --> 01:07:52,040
Speaker 1: what it wasn't a thing. It was like playing much

1289
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:54,080
Speaker 1: in gym class and gym class once in a while.

1290
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you play that was all the time in

01:07:56,880 --> 01:07:57,040
Speaker 14: Yeah.

1293
01:07:57,640 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 2: Now here's my question.

1294
01:07:59,480 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 1: Did you play it?

1295
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:04,800
Speaker 2: Two teams on either side of the gym, right, two.

1296
01:08:04,720 --> 01:08:07,880
Speaker 1: Teams and if if you got put out by a guy,

1297
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: they kept track of who put you out, put you out,

1298
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: who put you out? Who put you out? And then

1299
01:08:13,880 --> 01:08:16,200

Speaker 1: of perpetuated it, right because the way we put we had.

1302
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,639
Speaker 2: If somebody on your team caught it, somebody could come back.

1303
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 2: I just like dodgeball.

1304
01:08:25,840 --> 01:08:28,080
Speaker 1: I had to put out like twenty five kids and

01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:03,760
Speaker 14: He throws it.

1322
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:05,960
Speaker 1: He's gonna be the hero all of a sudden.

1323
01:09:07,200 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 2: Why would you throw it right in your bread basket?

1324
01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:09,760
Speaker 11: Yeah?

1325
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 1: Right, were the sixth graders. He throws it because he

1326
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:18,880
Speaker 1: wanted to punish me, right, so he throws you. The

1327
01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 1: look and body language on him when I caught that

1328
01:09:21,840 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 1: was absolutely delicious. So it was just it was priceless.

1329
01:09:25,680 --> 01:09:25,720
Speaker 3: That.

1330
01:09:26,080 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my one dodgeball moment when I was like

1331
01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:29,679
Speaker 1: in the sixth grade.

1332
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:34,639
Speaker 2: I remember when we were younger. For some unknown reason,

1333
01:09:34,680 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 2: maybe it's because the gym was too small because in

1334
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,800
Speaker 2: the lower grade levels the gyms are really tiny. They

1335
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: used to put us in a circle and it would

1336
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:47,439
Speaker 2: be like one on one dodgeball. So you've got a ball,

1337
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,080
Speaker 2: the other guy's got a ball, and you're in a

1338
01:09:49,160 --> 01:09:52,280
Speaker 2: circle of students. It's like Lord of the Fly stuff.

1339
01:09:52,360 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 2: It's like literally one on one dodgeball, and you're just

1340
01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 2: jumping out of the way because once you throw your ball,

1341
01:09:57,400 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 2: you're on the run. You're hoping you can go find

1342
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:01,479
Speaker 2: the ball. People just kick it to keep it in

1343
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 2: the side. Right, It was like sudden death dodgeball. It

1344
01:10:06,160 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 2: was intense, like that gym coach that fizz ed teacher.

1345
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,760
Speaker 2: I mean, dude, you're dealing with seven to eight year olds,

1346
01:10:13,880 --> 01:10:15,720
Speaker 2: you know, like second and third graders. You got what

1347
01:10:16,080 --> 01:10:22,040
Speaker 2: sudden death dodgeball? Getting the circle. I was hardened at

1348
01:10:22,160 --> 01:10:26,799
Speaker 2: early ages. Right, Oh my gosh, believable the dodgeball story

1349
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 2: mark on the tweets, she says, Glow in the Dark

1350
01:10:30,720 --> 01:10:32,759
Speaker 2: miniature golf. Have you ever played that stuff?

1351
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 1: Not Glow in the Dark. I played regular golf with

1352
01:10:35,800 --> 01:10:39,680
Speaker 1: globals in the Oh. Okay, I was in not the

1353
01:10:39,680 --> 01:10:41,960
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventeen holes, but I was in one

1354
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:44,519
Speaker 1: hundred holes of golf down do it every couple of

1355
01:10:44,600 --> 01:10:48,760
Speaker 1: years and sure enough, you know, we had to hurry

1356
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:50,080
Speaker 1: to get done. We couldn't get done in the dark,

1357
01:10:50,080 --> 01:10:52,639
Speaker 1: sweat some globals. We finished up our hundred holes with Global.

1358
01:10:52,680 --> 01:10:54,760
Speaker 1: That's fun. That is a lot of fun. Yeah, that's

1359
01:10:54,760 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: a good idea miniature golf.

1360
01:10:56,200 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 2: We're going to break away from the conversation to go

1361
01:10:58,560 --> 01:11:01,919
Speaker 2: to the post practice podium as James Cook is addressing

1362
01:11:01,960 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 2: the media as we speak.

1363
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:06,799
Speaker 4: Let's go there now, James, What's what's the whole process

1364
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:07,600
Speaker 4: been like for you?

1365
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 9: I mean I've been good. I mean just working out

1366
01:11:12,800 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 9: and just continue to keep doing what I've been doing.

1367
01:11:16,439 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 3: Did you feel like it was a muss that you

1368
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:18,960
Speaker 3: had to be here?

1369
01:11:19,200 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 4: I mean, obviously it is mandatory, but why did you

1370
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 4: decide to come?

1371
01:11:25,400 --> 01:11:28,360
Speaker 3: I like my money, you know do? You definitely do?

1372
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 3: But so that's why I'm here.

Speaker 2: Take your pup with her asking for you feel you're needed.

1376
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:45,080
Speaker 3: To make that pump? No, it's just something that I

1377
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:50,800
Speaker 3: did and something I did. I don't know why I

1378
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:55,360
Speaker 3: do strategy, No, do you.

1379
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:58,920
Speaker 11: Hope any get out of mandatory many Canada just to.

1380
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,080
Speaker 9: Get better, you know, to be around the guys and

01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:04,760
Speaker 9: and feel good to be around them and just keep

1382

01:12:09,439 --> 01:12:11,080
Speaker 3: did you decide to fully participate?

1385
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:16,920
Speaker 9: I mean, why not here in party team and just

1386
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 9: not practicing with a leader? So it just just got

1387
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:22,400
Speaker 9: a practice and get a job.

Speaker 20: this building over you it's it could be a distraction,

1484

Speaker 9: At all this season, I don't look at it like that.

1486
01:16:34,560 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 9: I just view my feet as every day and just

1487
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:40,640
Speaker 9: want to play football. And that's what I'm here to do.

1488
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,599
Speaker 15: Is the process, Like in terms of your agent woping

1489
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:47,040
Speaker 15: with the team, to just keep a line of communication

1490
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:50,160
Speaker 15: open and in your mind. Sometimes players will say if

1491
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,519
Speaker 15: it does, something doesn't happen by a certain day, cut

1492
01:16:52,600 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 15: it off, right because you don't want to have a

1493
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:57,160
Speaker 15: distraction that way. How are you looking at it? Is

1494
01:16:57,200 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 15: it an ongoing thinger?

1495
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:00,240
Speaker 3: No, I just live.

1496
01:17:00,280 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 9: I live in my day like a normal person and

1497
01:17:03,080 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 9: keep continuing what I been doing like I said, like,

1498
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:09,120
Speaker 9: which is work, work, hard, work out, and I'm here

1499
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,680
Speaker 9: so being what my feet is right now, and just

1500
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:13,599
Speaker 9: keep putting to work with the guys.

1501
01:17:14,520 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 3: This business. You have business like that too, Like this

1502
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:22,800
Speaker 3: lover in any way kind of can't get joined this

1503
01:17:22,920 --> 01:17:26,200
Speaker 3: process because you're fighting her forward anything to work.

1504
01:17:26,600 --> 01:17:30,960
Speaker 9: I mean, of course other people might think otherwise, but yeah,

1505
01:17:31,040 --> 01:17:34,519
Speaker 9: like you said, but I'm here to work hard. And however,

1506
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 9: you take care of itself like I said, to go

1507
01:17:36,240 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 9: take care of yourself.

1508
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:39,799
Speaker 3: Do you what excites you for this season?

1509
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:46,439

Speaker 17: Alright, thank you?

1514
01:17:56,240 --> 01:17:59,639
Speaker 2: Alright. That's James Cook addressing the media. Among the things

1515
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 2: that he's said as far as why he's here, I'm

1516
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:04,760
Speaker 2: a leader and I like being around my teammates, so

1517
01:18:04,880 --> 01:18:07,280
Speaker 2: that's why I'm here. When I asked if he was

1518
01:18:07,360 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 2: confident that things will work out so and I'm going

1519
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:10,960
Speaker 2: to leave it up to God and do what I do,

1520
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:13,759
Speaker 2: which is work hard and get ready for the season.

1521
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:16,479
Speaker 2: A lot of his answers were similar after that, and

1522
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,559
Speaker 2: he said, I've never had a beef with anybody. Everything

1523
01:18:19,680 --> 01:18:22,640
Speaker 2: will work out how it's supposed to work out. He

1524
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:25,840
Speaker 2: did leave the door open regarding whether he'll report on

1525
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:28,439
Speaker 2: time for training camp. Got to take a break here,

01:19:00,520 --> 01:19:03,160

1535
01:19:03,240 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 2: Mandatory Mini Camp, he smiled and said, because I like

1536

Speaker 2: my money. As for a contract extension, he said more

1537

Speaker 2: He said. When asked if it could be a distraction

1541
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 2: if he doesn't have an extension by training camp, he said,

1542
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 2: I don't look at it that way. I just want

1543
01:19:26,400 --> 01:19:28,720
Speaker 2: to play ball. I just live with my feed are

1544
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,439
Speaker 2: and keep putting in the work with my guys. He

1545
01:19:31,560 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 2: did say, though, when asked about the value of running backs,

1546
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,800
Speaker 2: he said he feels that they should be valued more

1547
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: for all that they do, not just carrying the ball,

1548
01:19:40,520 --> 01:19:43,680
Speaker 2: but all the blocking that they do as well. So

1549
01:19:43,800 --> 01:19:47,680
Speaker 2: he clearly feels that the running back position remains undervalued,

1550
01:19:47,720 --> 01:19:49,799
Speaker 2: and it would be hard to disagree with him based.

1551
01:19:49,600 --> 01:19:53,360
Speaker 1: On the value of other positions, particularly since it we're

1552
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:58,240
Speaker 1: kind of in a spot now where you wake up

1553
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:01,720
Speaker 1: one morning and wide receivers are sought after money positions.

1554
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:06,639
Speaker 1: They're drafting them high every year. First rounders, multiple first

1555
01:20:06,760 --> 01:20:09,120
Speaker 1: rounders are going. You got like a handful of guys

1556
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: going in the top twenty picks in the draft, and

1557
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,040
Speaker 1: running backs don't get picked until late in the first

1558
01:20:15,160 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: or second And with very few exceptions. The league is

1559
01:20:19,680 --> 01:20:21,920
Speaker 1: throwing the ball sixty percent of the time, running it

1560
01:20:22,040 --> 01:20:24,880
Speaker 1: forty percent of the time, and it's been that way

1561
01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:30,000
Speaker 1: for a while, and that's in sharp contrast to the

1562
01:20:30,080 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 1: way it used to be in the NFL. Certainly the

1563
01:20:34,000 --> 01:20:36,800
Speaker 1: evolution of the rules have had a big impact on

1564
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,880
Speaker 1: that and coaches ability to exploit it, but you can't

1565
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:45,519
Speaker 1: deny it the other there are other positions that even

1566
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:47,760
Speaker 1: non football people will tell you, I'd rather have that

1567
01:20:47,840 --> 01:20:50,080
Speaker 1: guy than a running back. Yeah, And it's just hard

1568
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:51,960
Speaker 1: to live like that if you're one of those guys.

1569
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:55,040
Speaker 2: Even though he said when asked why you're a mandatory

1570
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 2: mini camp and he said, I like my money, meaning

1571
01:20:56,840 --> 01:20:58,479
Speaker 2: he didn't want to get fined up to one hundred

1572
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 2: and ten thousand dollars for missing three days of a

1573
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:05,560
Speaker 2: mandatory mini camp. Do you think that the team do

1574
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:07,880
Speaker 2: you see his presence here as a signal that maybe

1575
01:21:07,920 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 2: the team gave him some assurances verbally, like hey, look,

1576
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 2: we're working on it, we'll get something done at some point.

1577
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,320
Speaker 2: Or do you think they just left that alone right now,

1578
01:21:17,479 --> 01:21:22,280
Speaker 2: not really knowing what's possible, because they were completely at

1579
01:21:22,280 --> 01:21:25,639
Speaker 2: two different ends of the negotiating table back in the spring,

1580
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:28,000
Speaker 2: and there was a clear disconnect there on what his

1581
01:21:28,200 --> 01:21:28,960
Speaker 2: value should be.

1582
01:21:29,280 --> 01:21:31,639
Speaker 1: We don't know, what they said with conversations, No, we don't,

1583
01:21:31,640 --> 01:21:33,120
Speaker 1: I do know what I would say, and I'm gonna

1584
01:21:33,120 --> 01:21:35,760
Speaker 1: ask you what you would say to James Cook. What

1585
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: I would say to James Cook if I'm the team

1586
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:39,360
Speaker 1: is Listen, we expect you to have an even better

1587
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:41,160
Speaker 1: year this year, and we're gonna give you every opportunity

1588
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,360
Speaker 1: to do it. We're gonna give you the ball. We're

1589
01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:45,080
Speaker 1: gonna give you opportunity. We're gonna we're not gonna overload you.

1590
01:21:45,240 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 1: We're not gonna finger quotes. We're not gonna use you up.

1591
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:50,599
Speaker 1: We're not gonna give you three hundred and fifty touches

1592
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 1: this year and have you go down. We're gonna keep

1593
01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,040
Speaker 1: you healthy. You're gonna be able to showcase your talents,

1594
01:21:57,240 --> 01:21:58,720
Speaker 1: and you're gonna be on a team that's gonna have

1595
01:21:58,720 --> 01:22:01,400
Speaker 1: a chance to win a Super Bowl. And in return

1596
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:06,120
Speaker 1: for that, we'll do what you want. We'll make you

1597
01:22:06,160 --> 01:22:09,200
Speaker 1: the offer we think we want if we're or we

1598
01:22:09,640 --> 01:22:12,000
Speaker 1: will not put the franchise on you, or we will

1599
01:22:12,120 --> 01:22:14,280
Speaker 1: not or we will let you go to free agency

1600
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: without a fight. Whichever you want, We'll handle it however

1601
01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: you want. At the end of it, will either give

1602
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:22,640
Speaker 1: you the offer that we think you're gonna get, or

1603
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:24,960
Speaker 1: you can go, walk and go. You can shop around,

1604
01:22:25,520 --> 01:22:27,120
Speaker 1: and even if you can't get an offer as good

1605
01:22:27,120 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 1: as ours, we'll still give you ours. That's what I

1606
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,400
Speaker 1: would tell him. I said, we're gonna we will give

1607
01:22:33,439 --> 01:22:35,760
Speaker 1: you every opportunity to have the best year of your

1608
01:22:35,840 --> 01:22:38,360
Speaker 1: career and then head into free agency if that's your wish,

1609
01:22:38,920 --> 01:22:40,640
Speaker 1: or you can accept the offer that we're gonna give you.

1610
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 2: So you're running the risk of having him for only

1611
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,960
Speaker 2: one more season, that's right. Giving him assurances of what

1612
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,160
Speaker 2: would happen after the season.

1613
01:22:48,200 --> 01:22:50,720
Speaker 1: So that's right, because then you'd come in, you get

1614
01:22:50,760 --> 01:22:52,439
Speaker 1: the best version of him, and he'd have a reason

1615
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,800
Speaker 1: to play well and you And let me tell you

1616
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:58,280
Speaker 1: something the next all the other guys that are coming

1617
01:22:58,320 --> 01:23:02,240
Speaker 1: in the door. If James Cook leaves, I can't wait

1618
01:23:02,320 --> 01:23:02,720
Speaker 1: to get here.

1619
01:23:03,160 --> 01:23:06,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know you and I value Cook a little

1620
01:23:06,800 --> 01:23:08,720
Speaker 2: bit differently, so I wouldn't be saying all of that.

1621
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:10,720
Speaker 2: I might shape it a little bit differently. We don't

1622
01:23:10,760 --> 01:23:13,320
Speaker 2: have time for that right now, because Josh Allen is

1623
01:23:13,360 --> 01:23:16,320
Speaker 2: addressing the media at the post practice podium. So let's

1624
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:16,920
Speaker 2: go there now.

1625
01:23:18,120 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 11: We're back to back to football. Got some hardware now,

1626
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 11: so could.

1627
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:26,240
Speaker 5: Go congratulations, what is it?

1628
01:23:27,479 --> 01:23:28,240
Speaker 3: What has this been like?

1629
01:23:28,320 --> 01:23:30,600
Speaker 11: And it was kind of kept under wraps, but I.

1630
01:23:30,640 --> 01:23:33,599
Speaker 5: Mean then you've got rolls and other doctors and everything

1631
01:23:33,640 --> 01:23:36,080
Speaker 5: else is ticket pictures of whatever it seems.

1632
01:23:37,439 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 1: You know, it is what it is.

1633
01:23:40,640 --> 01:23:48,640
Speaker 11: But we're good. You two this yet, Yeah, I think so.

1634
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:57,519
Speaker 11: It feels good out there. Yeah, are you're married, You

1635
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:01,920
Speaker 11: got chat's got your tongue, yourself, you know, football.

1636
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,639
Speaker 10: Like throwing with Josh Palmer, Elijah Moore, Lavishkaz, the guys

1637
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 10: that you haven't had as much reps with.

1638
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:13,320
Speaker 11: Yeah, it's uh, it's gonna be an adjustment period.

1639
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,240
Speaker 10: Obviously, it got a little bit of work throughout the

1640
01:24:15,280 --> 01:24:20,519
Speaker 10: OTAs was in and out, but I am, uh, you know,

1641
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,160
Speaker 10: working working hard to get on the same page with them.

1642
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,160
Speaker 10: And there are three guys again that moved really well,

1643
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:29,519
Speaker 10: different body types for for all three of them, they're

1644
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 10: each really good at some things and we got to

1645
01:24:31,560 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 10: utilize those strengths to our benefits.

1646
01:24:33,479 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 15: We're back and the leader on this team.

1647
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:39,840
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on James Cook's situation and because you haven't

1648
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:40,519
Speaker 5: really had be.

1649
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:44,000
Speaker 14: Any of them, I'm guy here as the quarterback now here, whatever.

1650
01:24:43,840 --> 01:24:46,320
Speaker 5: The fate, your thoughts on that good guys.

1651
01:24:46,200 --> 01:24:46,920
Speaker 3: That were going through this.

1652
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:49,840
Speaker 10: Yeah, well one, I'm very very proud that he's here

1653
01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 10: and he's working as hard as he is being on

1654
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:54,360
Speaker 10: the field with us and a lot of guys that

1655
01:24:54,439 --> 01:24:57,160
Speaker 10: wouldn't do that. But he's out there and working hard

1656
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:59,600
Speaker 10: and you know, showing everybody that he's here for the

1657
01:24:59,680 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 10: right reas and you know, hopefully that can get solved.

1658
01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,080
Speaker 10: I love Jimbo, you know, I think the whole team does.

1659
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:09,240
Speaker 10: And you know, he's uh one of the best backs

1660
01:25:09,280 --> 01:25:11,960
Speaker 10: in the league and you know, hopefully, uh that can

1661
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 10: be reflected soon. And but again, just props for him

1662
01:25:14,840 --> 01:25:17,280
Speaker 10: to be here and show out, show up and show up,

1663
01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:17,960
Speaker 10: show out like that.

1664
01:25:18,160 --> 01:25:19,680
Speaker 11: So very proud that he's here.

1665
01:25:20,240 --> 01:25:21,280
Speaker 3: There's that balance, like.

1666
01:25:21,400 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 2: As a leader you want to bear but also the unior,

1667
01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:27,320
Speaker 2: the brotherhood.

1668
01:25:29,600 --> 01:25:33,599
Speaker 10: Absolutely, you know, I want everybody to to get paid

1669
01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:37,160
Speaker 10: and get with their worth. And again it's I don't

1670
01:25:37,200 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 10: have anything to do with that. You know, all I

1671
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:41,759
Speaker 10: care about is uh, you know that he's he's okay

1672
01:25:41,880 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 10: mentally and he can come out here and perform physically

1673
01:25:44,560 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 10: and usually the rest takes care takes care of itself.

1674
01:25:47,439 --> 01:25:50,920
Speaker 10: But again, it shows, it shows a lot that he's.

1675
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:54,400
Speaker 11: Here and a Hall of Mark movie and everything else.

1676
01:25:54,479 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 7: There's a different kind of spotlight that's gonna be on

1677
01:25:56,920 --> 01:25:58,360
Speaker 7: you guys in the months ahead.

1678
01:25:58,520 --> 01:26:00,880
Speaker 14: How do you navigate it's.

1679
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,720
Speaker 11: Sort of the added attention that's going to be on you.

1680
01:26:03,560 --> 01:26:05,080
Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean, I think you just kind of keep

1681
01:26:05,200 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 10: doing what we're doing here. We've had some good success

1682
01:26:08,240 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 10: over the last few years, and you know, it's just

1683
01:26:13,400 --> 01:26:15,680
Speaker 10: not allowing things to deter us from from being who

1684
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:19,000
Speaker 10: we are and doing what we do. And you know

1685
01:26:19,120 --> 01:26:20,680
Speaker 10: that that part it is what it is too. And

1686
01:26:20,840 --> 01:26:27,040
Speaker 10: I think, uh, you know, hard knocks, it is what

1687
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,960
Speaker 10: it is. Yeah, But we're we're gonna keep working hard

1688
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,439
Speaker 10: and and just make sure that our our focus is

1689
01:26:32,520 --> 01:26:34,800
Speaker 10: on the main thing, and that's trying to bring a

1690
01:26:34,880 --> 01:26:35,800
Speaker 10: Lombardi Trophy here.

1691
01:26:36,439 --> 01:26:37,760
Speaker 11: It's the goal for a mini camp.

1692
01:26:38,920 --> 01:26:40,599
Speaker 10: The goal for mini camp is just to get loose,

1693
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:43,400

01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:36,280
Speaker 2: coy with some of the personal questions about his nuptials,

1714
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:39,880
Speaker 2: but we'll we'll put a rap on that when we return.

1719
01:28:06,200 --> 01:28:10,639
Speaker 2: Good conversation, good conversation, and James Cook not really saying

1720
01:28:10,720 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 2: anything terribly controversial as he reports the mini camp and

1721
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,800
Speaker 2: participates fully in practice, so that's good to hear. And

1722
01:28:16,880 --> 01:28:19,760
Speaker 2: Josh Allen even said he's very proud that he's out

1723
01:28:19,800 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 2: here working with us, hoping that can get worked out

1724
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:27,679
Speaker 2: at some point here, So you know, Josh in support

1725
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:29,559
Speaker 2: of his teammate, but very happy that he's here working

1726
01:28:29,600 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 2: with them. Yeah, putting the time in.

1727
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:35,080
Speaker 1: So it's we've talked about it a lot guys get

1728
01:28:35,120 --> 01:28:37,760
Speaker 1: back together. This is probably the first time a lot

1729
01:28:37,800 --> 01:28:39,240
Speaker 1: of these guys have seen each other since the end

1730
01:28:39,240 --> 01:28:41,800
Speaker 1: of the season of a very good season, so it's

1731
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,600
Speaker 1: nice to get back together. And the contract stuff is

1732
01:28:44,680 --> 01:28:46,880
Speaker 1: really kind of back burner stuff in the locker room

1733
01:28:47,080 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 1: most of the time, unless we have one of the

1734
01:28:48,680 --> 01:28:51,519
Speaker 1: quiet conversations with your friends and about what you think

1735
01:28:51,640 --> 01:28:55,639
Speaker 1: is happening and what can happen. But it's these kind

1736
01:28:55,680 --> 01:28:59,760
Speaker 1: of days are the fun times, mainly because there's no

1737
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:04,360
Speaker 1: stress of a game coming up. Most guys, aside from

1738
01:29:04,360 --> 01:29:07,360
Speaker 1: the injury, most guys are feeling better than they felt

1739
01:29:07,439 --> 01:29:11,280
Speaker 1: in months, so it's a different kind of atmosphere and

1740
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: it's you know, you can tell by the way they

1741
01:29:14,920 --> 01:29:15,639
Speaker 1: talk about stuff.

1742
01:29:15,840 --> 01:29:19,479

1744
01:29:23,400 --> 01:29:26,960
Speaker 2: which included a mysterious pink substance in his ziploc bag.

1745
01:29:27,479 --> 01:29:29,640
Speaker 2: He was asked right out of the shoot what was

1746
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 2: in the bag? His quote, Obviously, it's a conversation that's

1747
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:38,000
Speaker 2: happening internal. I can't have too much conversation about it, Okay, So.

1748
01:29:38,200 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 1: There it is.

1749
