1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,840
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,560
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,640 --> 00:00:19,119
Speaker 1: player for you. Steed a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,160 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: the straded beer of normalcy, all right? How you be

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: here on a Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

6
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:36,800
Speaker 1: Balls training camp, the second to last practice here at

7
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:41,480
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher University. Beautiful day. The humidity and high

8
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:45,120
Speaker 1: heat is out of the area and it was like

9
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 1: a beautiful seventy five degrees mix of sun and clouds. Uh.

10
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:53,520
Speaker 1: Perfect weather for training camp, even for the players. Yeah,

11
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:59,240
Speaker 1: so really great atmosphere, fans out here and um. A

12
00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: lot of teamsments again today, some run periods, a little

13
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:07,720
Speaker 1: red zone at the very end. Defense came to play today.

14
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: They made some plays breaking up passes in the end zone.

15
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: Matt Malano had a pass breakup in the end zone.

16
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,440
Speaker 1: A couple other guys did as well. And I don't know,

17
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 1: like as the offense supposed to be crisper than that,

18
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: I guess you can make that argument. A lot of

19
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:28,080
Speaker 1: short and intermediate stuff today. It looked like they were

20
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: working a lot of short to medium down and distance today,

21
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,319
Speaker 1: So they were kind of working those plays because everything,

22
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: just about everything was within fifteen yards in a line

23
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,039
Speaker 1: of scrimmage in terms of routes and completions and all

24
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 1: of that stuff. So I'm only guessing, but I'm assuming

25
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,440
Speaker 1: it was an area of focus. So we'll have to

26
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: see what changes between now and tomorrow and all that. Jazz.

27
00:01:56,720 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, like, I don't know what to think

28
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 1: when I see the offense kind of struggle like that

29
00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then I try to remind myself, like,

30
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the defense is really good, It's probably gonna be even

31
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:11,000
Speaker 1: better than it was last year. But at the same time,

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm left saying to myself, well, this is one day

33
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 1: a practice. Should I be worried about this? And then

34
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:21,120
Speaker 1: inevitably the offense comes back the next day and they

35
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: look at heck of a lot better. The blue in

36
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:25,519
Speaker 1: the red scrimmage practice for example, was I mean, the

37
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:27,400
Speaker 1: passing game was on point. That was probably the best

38
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 1: the passing game has looked right all, you know, all

39
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: through training camp, so I guess I should not be

40
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 1: concerned in any way, But who knows. I don't know.

41
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 1: Did you feel differently it looked that way when during

42
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: training camp? It always looks that way in training camp.

43
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 1: It always looks bad for the offense in training camp

44
00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:54,440
Speaker 1: because the defense gets used to looking at you and

45
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,119
Speaker 1: seeing what you're doing. You're you know, every dB out

46
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: here knows exactly what the offense is gonna do. The

47
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: offensive players are are inhibited by they have to do

48
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 1: what the play is called. So the defenders they can

49
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:10,640
Speaker 1: do you know, they can play different techniques and do

50
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 1: whatever they want in regards to the defense. It just

51
00:03:14,600 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: it always looks bad for the offense, is all I

52
00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: can say. Because the defenders get to know the individuals

53
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: playing that playing offense so well what no matter what

54
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: group is in there. I mean, how many times have

55
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,519
Speaker 1: they seen Dawson Knox? How many times have they seen O. J.

56
00:03:28,720 --> 00:03:30,880
Speaker 1: Howard and Steph Diggs and Day. I mean these guys,

57
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: I mean, it's like it's like Groundhog Day out here.

58
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 1: So they know what's gonna happen. They know the play

59
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:42,200
Speaker 1: that's coming. They can and they get the the concepts

60
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 1: quicker and the defense you know, it's just easier for

61
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: him and there's no full contact, so when you're rushing

62
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: the pass or you look better because there's nobody that

63
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 1: can really get in your way and make you pay

64
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: for it. And when you're defending them, and when you're

65
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: defending passes as a dB, there ain't nobody calling penalty

66
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: he's either. So yeah, defenses always looked good in training camp,

67
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: a lot better than the offenses due but there's you know,

68
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 1: those are the reasons for it. You just it's the

69
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: way the whole thing is structured, the way the game's played,

70
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: that makes it look that way. Yeah, we have another

71
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:21,039
Speaker 1: jam packed show for you today. We will have defensive

72
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: tackle Tim Settle coming your way at the bottom of

73
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:28,120
Speaker 1: the hour and about twenty five thirty minutes time, we'll

74
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: catch up with him, go through his free agency process

75
00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 1: and how he came to decide upon Buffalo as his

76
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: next destination in his football career, and we'll ask him

77
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 1: what he thinks of the group on the defensive interior

78
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 1: of which he is a part. It's a heck of

79
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: a top quartet there between him, Ed Oliver, Jordan Phillips,

80
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: and de Kwon Jones. So we'll get Tim's thoughts on

81
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: all of that in about thirty minutes time from now.

82
00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 1: We also, in the second hour of our show are

83
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: going to have CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn, and I

84
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: know you and I both had a chance to talk

85
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: to him while watching practice this morning, and he was

86
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: telling me that in all likelihood he's going to have

87
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 1: a handful of Bills games that he'll be covering this year,

88
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: because he said, I'm gonna be honest with you. For CBS,

89
00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: they're either the A game or they're one of the

90
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:29,400
Speaker 1: B games every single week. They're not going to drop

91
00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:33,080
Speaker 1: below the second crew, which means a lot of Iron Eagle,

92
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: a lot of Iron Eagle and Charles and Jim Nanson,

93
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: Tony Romo. Um there. Yeah. And because here's another thing too,

94
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 1: all those primetime games the Bills have though, that's not

95
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 1: the CBS crew, So when CBS gets the Bills, it's

96
00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,680
Speaker 1: gonna be their one crew, the two crew. Uh. And

97
00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 1: there's not that many games left over after you take

98
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,320
Speaker 1: out five primetime games in a four PM game, so

99
00:05:57,160 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 1: there was a chance that they could get the four

100
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 1: pm game. But yeah, the Bills have supplanted the Patriots

101
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:05,800
Speaker 1: as they go to AFC's team for the for the

102
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:10,279
Speaker 1: networks and also even the entire conference. So we'll catch

103
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: up with Evan in the second hour of the show.

104
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,440
Speaker 1: He's caught a number of training camps to this point.

105
00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:18,080
Speaker 1: We'll pick his brain on a bunch of them. Yeah,

106
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: see what his thoughts are about the AFC. So that'll

107
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:25,040
Speaker 1: be interesting to go over that with him as we

108
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 1: are all suffering at this point from Bill's myopia. Um,

109
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: we did see Roger Saffold line up with the starting

110
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: unit again today, but he's still being only rotated in

111
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 1: for a limited number of reps as he is still

112
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 1: recovering from the rib of injury suffered in the car accident,

113
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 1: and they're rotating a number of guys through through the

114
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 1: course of camp in that spot for Saffold, knowing he

115
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: can't fill out the full complement of reps. It's nice

116
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,320
Speaker 1: to see Spencer Brown. I think he's just about full

117
00:06:57,320 --> 00:07:00,360
Speaker 1: go at this point in time, getting a lot more

118
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: reps at his position than he was at the beginning

119
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,039
Speaker 1: of camp when you know he wasn't allowed to do

120
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: team segments of practice. He is now, as is Ryan Bates,

121
00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 1: So that offensive line is almost completely back together with

122
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: the five that I think we all anticipated all along

123
00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: would be the crew. Yeah, it's yeah, no question that

124
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:25,200
Speaker 1: they're getting better, but and it's still so I haven't

125
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: played a preseason game yet, and it's We've seen Brownie,

126
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: you and I've watched this club and all these guys

127
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: go get injured, come back from injury. We're watching Tradevious

128
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,120
Speaker 1: White go through this thing now, Spencer Brown has been

129
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: going through it, and of course Saffled because of the

130
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: ribs in the car accident he got into. They just

131
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: don't hurry these guys back, and this is the last

132
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: thing you want to do at this time of year

133
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 1: as well. So I'm imagining that even we don't know.

134
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: And here's the thing we've heard about. Trey White and

135
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 1: Saffled and Spencer Brown are the exact same scenario. They're

136
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,280
Speaker 1: coming back from an injury. Whatever that injury is, whether

137
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: it's an acl whether it's ribs or whatever happened as

138
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown, any of that stuff that they're coming back from,

139
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:09,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna take their time. And they keep telling us

140
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:13,440
Speaker 1: even in the case of Trinevious White, he's on schedule. Well,

141
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: to me, that means lining up on Thursday night against

142
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: the Rams opening weekend, that's the drop dead date and

143
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,480
Speaker 1: whatever time they need to get ready for that. That

144
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 1: means they're going to be out there and with that

145
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:32,280
Speaker 1: amount of time left to get ready. So Saffold being

146
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 1: rotated in and on a snap count seems absolutely appropriate

147
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,520
Speaker 1: at this point, as it did with Spencer Brown. They

148
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,599
Speaker 1: were rotating him in and you could just see it,

149
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: even I. It's so easy to see when you're out here,

150
00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,040
Speaker 1: you and I. Every day. Oh today he took eight snaps. Oh,

151
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: today took twelve snaps. Oh, today's fifteen snaps. Oh today

152
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 1: he stayed in the whole. You know that kind of thing.

153
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: You just watch it progress as it goes along, and

154
00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,599
Speaker 1: and you know, you come out the next day, and

155
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:01,160
Speaker 1: if he's out there taking rips, it means that yesterday's

156
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: reps were perfect for him and he didn't have any

157
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: side effects from it. Saffold, same thing, And you and

158
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 1: I've talked about it. You get bad ribs man is

159
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:13,720
Speaker 1: hard when you're training camp. You can't breathe deep, you

160
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:17,839
Speaker 1: can't sleep, and you just want to die. It's so bad.

161
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: It's so bad. But yeah, he's back in and he's

162
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: starting to take some reps on a pitch account, so

163
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: he's starting to feel better. Yeah. NFL News and Notes.

164
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:30,160
Speaker 1: Yesterday after we went off, the Air Commissioner Roger Goodell

165
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,959
Speaker 1: at the press conference to announce that the sale of

166
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: the Broncos was complete to the Walton Penner Group. Was

167
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:42,640
Speaker 1: understandably asked questions at that press conference about what will

168
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: become of a suspension for Deshaun Watson. Now, as we know,

169
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:55,680
Speaker 1: he appointed an independent person to handle the appeal, and

170
00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: the general consensus is the NFL is pursuing at least

171
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:03,080
Speaker 1: a year long suspension with their appeal. So he was

172
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 1: asked about it, and Commissioner Goodell says evidence calls for

173
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: at least a full year suspension for Deshaun Watson. Where

174
00:10:12,600 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: it comes down after the appeal is argued remains to

175
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:23,319
Speaker 1: be seen. But he actually labeled Watson's behavior predatory, which

176
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: is the same term that Sue Robinson used in her decision. Right,

177
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: So while they describe the same thing, the league is

178
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: clearly looking for a much stiffer penalty for Watson, and

179
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,040
Speaker 1: where it comes down and when it comes down remains

180
00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 1: to be seen. It's supposed to be handled an expedited fashion. Yeah,

181
00:10:45,800 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: we're gonna get it soon. I'm wondering if it's before

182
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: these preseason games this weekend. Could it be as soon

183
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 1: as tomorrow? Yeah, Friday morning. My question would be, and

184
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,840
Speaker 1: if you're looking for and there has to be, there's

185
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: going to be some logic behind this decision. It's not

186
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,160
Speaker 1: going to be just what what? What did Roger want? Okay,

187
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: that's it, because there was some logic behind the six

188
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: games suspension, no fine, and and the other parameters that

189
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:15,760
Speaker 1: were laid out. But it would seem to me that

190
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: there are multiple infractions and if you take each one

191
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 1: of them, and I think it's wrong to set him

192
00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 1: aside just because one guy had this mot this way

193
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,640
Speaker 1: of operating, doing bites predatory nature, that all that is

194
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:38,400
Speaker 1: one infraction. If there's multiple infractions, why isn't it a

195
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: penalty for every infraction? Certainly you get a fifteen yards

196
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 1: every time you get a penalty on the field. So

197
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:51,079
Speaker 1: I'm I wouldn't be surprised if if they find him

198
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 1: guilty of four or the five in fractions they brought

199
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: before Sue L. Robinson, why wouldn't he get four times

200
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 1: this suspension? And if it's games, why wouldn't be twenty

201
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:06,079
Speaker 1: four games? It's my math, right, twenty four games? It is? Yeah,

202
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: why wouldn't it be twenty four games? You know what

203
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah. I mean I don't see that happening,

204
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: but I know what you're saying. So there's so I

205
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 1: get it, and we'll see it should happen soon, and uh,

206
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: I think we'll all be ready to forget about it

207
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: for a while when it does come down it. I

208
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: don't know. I just have a hard time seeing the

209
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,480
Speaker 1: arbitrator when it's picked by the guy not to be

210
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:38,160
Speaker 1: in the guy's favor. Yeah, you know it's gonna be

211
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: what Roger Goodell wants at least. Yeah, And I don't

212
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: I can't see the general public being bothered by that

213
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,160
Speaker 1: at all, because I think a lot of people were

214
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: scoffing at the six game suspension. So well yeah, in fact,

215
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: well Deshaun Watson didn't Scott. He didn't even appeal it.

216
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:00,280
Speaker 1: He's like, yeah, okay, I'll take it. Yeah. It's like

217
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: three hundred thirty grand for him. It's not peanuts. Yeah,

218
00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: it's not even that's not even a weekend vacation in

219
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: Vegas for him. Two former Bills running backs in trouble

220
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 1: with the law. Former NFL running back Marshawn Lynch is

221
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: facing multiple charges after being arrested on DUI charges in

222
00:13:22,679 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. As we know, early in his career as

223
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: a Bill, he had a hidden run incident while driving

224
00:13:31,440 --> 00:13:35,800
Speaker 1: his vehicle as well, which led to a league suspension. Obviously,

225
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,839
Speaker 1: he's not playing anymore, so it doesn't have to answer

226
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: to the league. But nevertheless, Dui arrest for Marshawn Lynch

227
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: in Las Vegas. We'll see what comes of that. And

228
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:50,079
Speaker 1: then Frank Gore arrested for simple assault in an alleged

229
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: domestic incident. So unfortunate to hear about those things, but

230
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:59,240
Speaker 1: they're a matter of records. So there they are, Browns

231
00:13:59,280 --> 00:14:02,560
Speaker 1: with a bad brake. They lost their primary return man,

232
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:06,200
Speaker 1: Jachim Grant to a torn achilles that was suffered in

233
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. He is lost for the season, which immediately

234
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,360
Speaker 1: makes me wonder, Steve, if you feel like you have

235
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: a bevy of return option players here, which you could

236
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:22,120
Speaker 1: argue the Bills do. Is that a trade opportunity? You know,

237
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 1: come the end of camp, when you figure out who

238
00:14:25,400 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: you have and who's healthy and who you want to keep.

239
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 1: Just something to keep an eye on going forward. I mean,

240
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine the Browns are already looking if they

241
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 1: feel they need to add one. I'm not going to wait.

242
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:40,600
Speaker 1: I think the end of this training camp is going

243
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 1: to be really interesting, well not for a long time,

244
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,360
Speaker 1: but for a couple of days there when you know

245
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: they finally cut down to the fifty three. The Bills

246
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: are neck deep in pretty good, proven offensive lineman and

247
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: there is not another team in the league I can

248
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: think of that is in that situation. Yeah, I from

249
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: a backup, or not from a backup. I mean the Bills.

250
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: I think they're they're top eight, probably could be starters

251
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 1: at some or in the in the NFL on a

252
00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: hand more than a handful of teams. You know, the

253
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: bottom of the three guys, the first guy in the

254
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 1: center of the first guy in at the guards, and

255
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: the swing tackle for the Bills, whoever that may be,

256
00:15:25,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 1: are starters. Yeah, in the league. So they're gonna be

257
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: sitting really pretty with some assets at the end and

258
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: how they handle it, because I would think, Brownie, what

259
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: do you think if I'm Brandon Bean, I'm doing whatever

260
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: I can to jump through hoops to make sure I

261
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: don't lose any of those guys, let alone trade him. Yeah,

262
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: I don't think you want to. The whole reason he

263
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: signed a bunch of those guys was to insulate this

264
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 1: team in the event of injury on the offensive line,

265
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,600
Speaker 1: where you hope dollars to donuts, you don't have much

266
00:15:57,600 --> 00:15:59,920
Speaker 1: of a drop off when you have to go to

267
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 1: your second tier people. And with veteran players like Greg

268
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: Man's and Greg Van Roden among others, you know you've

269
00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: got guys that have skins on the wall. As Brandon

270
00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: Bean likes to say, I believe the second unit for

271
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: the Bills has one hundred and twenty eight games played

272
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: total in the league. That is nothing to sneeze at.

273
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: That is hardcore experience. And so I think the Bills

274
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: feel insulated by having those players in the event that

275
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: they lose a starter for a period of time at

276
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: some point during the season. So yeah, I would anticipate

277
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: any of those guys as possible. And not only that,

278
00:16:38,120 --> 00:16:40,040
Speaker 1: but but the fact that the Bills, you know, like

279
00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot of teams, have some guys some depth at

280
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: wide receiver and some certain like slot receivers. That kind

281
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:50,240
Speaker 1: of thing. Um who you know who comes calling of

282
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:53,160
Speaker 1: the Bills and wants wants part of their roster on

283
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: their team. How the Bills jump through the hoops of

284
00:16:57,720 --> 00:16:59,320
Speaker 1: who they can keep, who they can hint who can

285
00:16:59,360 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: they can they hide somebody? Are we gonna send? Well,

286
00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:07,480
Speaker 1: I'm chuckling because we used to. It used to be. Hey, listen,

287
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna go in and you're gonna go down with

288
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: a back injury after this play. Stay stay down and

289
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,439
Speaker 1: make it look good so the guy, you know, the

290
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,159
Speaker 1: guy gets to stick around on a roster for a

291
00:17:19,240 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: year because of his injury reserve. You know, the rules

292
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,359
Speaker 1: were different back then. But whatever the rules are and

293
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: how you hide guys is to the point where the

294
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: guy's in on it and he say, yeah, I want

295
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:31,400
Speaker 1: to stick around. I want to be here for a year.

296
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: I want to be part of the team. I want

297
00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 1: to keep my foot in the door in the NFL.

298
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Stay on the roster I'm in. So now it's like

299
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:45,159
Speaker 1: you got sixty nine slots, fifty three players and fourteen

300
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: or sixteen practice squad guys. Yeah, four of whom you

301
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: can protect every week, and now that can't get poached.

302
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:55,399
Speaker 1: Plus though, I mean, and you say, wow, we can

303
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: keep all these guys, Well yeah, but you know what,

304
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,440
Speaker 1: there's some teams around They've got some guys that we'd

305
00:18:00,480 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: like to better than some of the guys we you know,

306
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: we've already signed or somebody signed one of those guys

307
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,720
Speaker 1: right before training camp that you really were hounding. He

308
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: lost him, and now you got a chance to get

309
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:12,480
Speaker 1: him back on your practice squad. Those kind of things

310
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: happen all the time. I think the last week it plus,

311
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:18,119
Speaker 1: we said that they're going to have to restructure or

312
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 1: do some stuff with the salary cap to give themselves

313
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: some room for the season. And there's always a chance

314
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: they may extend Jordan Poyer. All that stuff is in

315
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:30,840
Speaker 1: that STA, you know, so I'm really interested. You know,

316
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,560
Speaker 1: you think you know Brandon Bean. You think once you

317
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:34,119
Speaker 1: signed the fifty three and you get it out there,

318
00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: the general manager can kind of sit back and put

319
00:18:36,640 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: his feet up and watch him play. No such luck

320
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,720
Speaker 1: here in the last two or three weeks of training camp.

321
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,840
Speaker 1: So that is basically that Stefan Diggs a non participate today,

322
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 1: but it was a veteran rest day for him, so

323
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 1: that kind of calmed everybody's nerves. There were a couple

324
00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: other receivers still not participating today as the numbers at

325
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: that position continue to be low. Right around seven players

326
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: available at the wide receiver position in practice to this point.

327
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 1: For the last couple of practices, and you worry about

328
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: the cumulative effect that that has on the guys that

329
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: are practicing, knowing they're getting more reps out there. So

330
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs with the veteran rest day, Tavon Austin on

331
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: the stationary bike today, So those two guys not participating.

332
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,320
Speaker 1: The good news was Isaiah McKenzie was back practicing and

333
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,360
Speaker 1: so too was Khalil Shakier, So they got those two

334
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: guys back in the full for practice. Tim Harris the

335
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: corner not practicing again today and Tyrell Dodson again not practicing,

336
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 1: missing a second straight day. So those were the non

337
00:19:41,920 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 1: participants at practice today. You know, the most interesting drill

338
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 1: I saw today, Steven the team segments. There was a

339
00:19:47,840 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: seven on seven period where it was very clear to

340
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: me that the team was working on their scramble rules. Obviously,

341
00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 1: we know Josh is one that is apt to extend

342
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,200
Speaker 1: plays quite often, right, and they were rotating quote unquote

343
00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:12,439
Speaker 1: first second and thirteen people through all with Josh to

344
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:16,080
Speaker 1: get them accustomed to how he extends the play. And

345
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,080
Speaker 1: they were practicing what their scramble rules are. So for

346
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,280
Speaker 1: our listeners that don't know, maybe just explain what scramble

347
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 1: rules are for receiving targets, running backs, etc. Right, Well,

348
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:27,640
Speaker 1: it's different for every team, and there's different for every

349
00:20:27,720 --> 00:20:30,080
Speaker 1: quarterback because he'll tell guys what he wants and what

350
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:32,439
Speaker 1: and what it basically is. I mean street ball. Right,

351
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:34,880
Speaker 1: You're you're not running around anymore. You're trying to get

352
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,040
Speaker 1: open and give him someplace to throw the football. But

353
00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: you also want to snap it off for a big

354
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: play if you can. So our rules used to be if, say,

355
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,280
Speaker 1: for instance, if you're out there at Josh runs to

356
00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:47,520
Speaker 1: Josh's right, which would be to your left, if you're

357
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:50,560
Speaker 1: turning around looking at him down the field, whichever direction

358
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: Josh runs to, whichever sideline, the guys that are already

359
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 1: on that sideline take off down the field back, go deep,

360
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: turn around, and go deep away from him. The guys

361
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: that are on the other side snap across the field,

362
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: comes sprinting across the field at whatever depth they are,

363
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: and go to the open area. Come back towards Josh

364
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:14,560
Speaker 1: to give themselves open. Just find a spot and go in.

365
00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: Josh knows those rules, so when he sees an opening,

366
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: he looks at the nearest guy sees that guy's probably

367
00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: gonna go in there and that's where he's gonna throw

368
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: the football. Those kind of rules you have and sitting

369
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 1: there's another one. If he goes the other direction, it's

370
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,000
Speaker 1: just the opposite. The guys that are already on that

371
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,439
Speaker 1: side of the field go deep, and the guys that

372
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: are on the on the side of the field where

373
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: he's running from, come across and mirror him and come

374
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,160
Speaker 1: back and find the open area. Now, also, if he's

375
00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:43,320
Speaker 1: running and if he escapes to your side and you

376
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: were already deep on that side, like you're running a

377
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,280
Speaker 1: go route down the sideline, and he bolts and he

378
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: escapes to your side, and he's not going to be

379
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,200
Speaker 1: able to get you the ball. You that's when you stop,

380
00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: turn around and sprint back at him. You come right

381
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,359
Speaker 1: back down the sideline. So a x actuality, the guys

382
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,320
Speaker 1: that are short on that side are running past you

383
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:06,400
Speaker 1: to go deep, and you're running past them to get shallow.

384
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 1: So it becomes for the defenders a decision. Do they

385
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,480
Speaker 1: do they zone it off? Do they wait and don't

386
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: let the guy get deep on him and stop covering

387
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 1: the guy going short? You know what I mean, they'll

388
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: have their own rules for that as well. But that's

389
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,400
Speaker 1: when that's what the rules are used to be. Now,

390
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey and Josh might come up with their own

391
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: rules like if you're here, do this, if you're there that.

392
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,600
Speaker 1: The rules are all different for every team and in

393
00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: every situation. So but generally speaking, that's what our rules are,

394
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: and you practice it, practice a lot, and for a

395
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: guy like Josh, it's crucial. You'll get it. You'll get

396
00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,240
Speaker 1: a couple of big plays out of it. And sometimes

397
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: you get a couple of big plays in the same

398
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: game because you know, you only do it if you're

399
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,239
Speaker 1: running for your life. And if you get into those

400
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:53,920
Speaker 1: games where all of a sudden they got a great

401
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,280
Speaker 1: pass rush, like the Rams on Thursday Night, he may

402
00:22:57,320 --> 00:22:58,800
Speaker 1: be doing that a little bit more than he would

403
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: in a normal game. So you'll get one of those

404
00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: games where you hit four big plays on the scramble drill,

405
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,040
Speaker 1: and you get other plays where you don't have any,

406
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,200
Speaker 1: but you might get two touchdowns, you know what I'm saying,

407
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 1: And that when you think about that Dawson Knox touchdown

408
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,880
Speaker 1: against the Chiefs that's on a full blown scramble drill.

409
00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: Josh runs to the right sideline as far as he

410
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 1: possibly can, and then finally Knox comes free just as

411
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: he's about to reach the sideline, and he uncorks a

412
00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: thirty yard pass to Knox and it goes for a

413
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: touchdown of like forty something yards. There are other examples too.

414
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: You had that tiptoe along by the front corner of

415
00:23:35,560 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 1: the pylon in the end zone when Josh hit Stefan's

416
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: Diggs in a home game last year, there was no

417
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 1: real estate left. He used every ounce of real estate

418
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:49,760
Speaker 1: he had, and so did Diggs too, quite frankly, but

419
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: they got a touchdown out of it, and he somehow

420
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: toe tapped his feet for the scores. So it's not

421
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:58,639
Speaker 1: only something you want to practice as a player in

422
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 1: this Bill's offense. When jo is on the field, there

423
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,120
Speaker 1: are definite rewards in doing so, because Josh can get

424
00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:08,639
Speaker 1: you the ball no matter where he is on the field.

425
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 1: I've seen this too back in the day. Mike vic

426
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: had had a big arm like Josh because he was

427
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,359
Speaker 1: a lefty. And you'll see it too in games where

428
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 1: the play goes on and on the guy they can't

429
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: get him on the ground right, so Josh is back

430
00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,760
Speaker 1: there like in a Rams game like in twenty twenty.

431
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,960
Speaker 1: He stiff arm and he grabs Aaron Donald's face mask

432
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: different pushes him to the ground, keeps Aaron Donald off

433
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: of him, but he keeps the play alive and it

434
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: just goes on and on. And what happens is you'll

435
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: get the field if you're in your own end coming out.

436
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:41,600
Speaker 1: So you got all this, you got like eighty five

437
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:45,080
Speaker 1: yards of field to work with. You'll have defensive backs

438
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:48,200
Speaker 1: because of their training, will know that I can beat

439
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: ten yards away from Stefan Diggs when we're this deep

440
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: down the field, because if he throws it to him,

441
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:55,679
Speaker 1: the ball's gonna be in the air long enough for

442
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:57,680
Speaker 1: me to cover that ground, get over there and cover him.

443
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:00,719
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna stay this far away from him and

444
00:25:00,800 --> 00:25:02,760
Speaker 1: be able to help on this other guy over here

445
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 1: on Gabe Davis at the same time. So wherever he

446
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: throws the ball, it's gonna be so far down the field,

447
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: I'll cover that ground and make the play. The interception

448
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:15,760
Speaker 1: of the tip pass. The problem is this with Josh.

449
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: They misjudge that. So when Josh drops back and he

450
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:24,479
Speaker 1: throws the ball to you know, Steph Diggs or Gabe Davis,

451
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 1: it never goes above fifteen feet off the ground, and

452
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,320
Speaker 1: it gets there faster than the dB thinks it was

453
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 1: going to. There's no arc on it. So that's where

454
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: you get these players like, don't you know. The DB's

455
00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,959
Speaker 1: like going, oh my guy. You know they realized too

456
00:25:40,040 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 1: late that they can't make that. I'm thinking of the

457
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: Emmanuel Sanders touchdown against the Chiefs, which Sanders said is

458
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: still one of the most unbelievable throws he's ever caught

459
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,159
Speaker 1: in his career. And that's the guy that played fourteen

460
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: years and played with Peyton Manning, Drew Brees and Ben Roethlisberg.

461
00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 1: And he said, I don't understand how it even got

462
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 1: to me that fast. He said. I turned my head around,

463
00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:00,320
Speaker 1: I put my two hands up, and it's duck to

464
00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: my hands. And after I caught it, I didn't know

465
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,480
Speaker 1: what to do. I was looking at myself, going how

466
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: did that just happen? And it went between two defensive

467
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:09,200
Speaker 1: backs who thought they had to read on the ball,

468
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:10,679
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, the ball has passed him.

469
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 1: That's right. So and that you know you see guys

470
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: misplay it. Teams have I mean, you think about it,

471
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:22,879
Speaker 1: I'll go back to the Baltimore Ravens in Denver. Peyton

472
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: Manning's playing for Denver at this point. They're going, it's

473
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:30,119
Speaker 1: his first year there. It's it's when Joe Flacco airs

474
00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:32,919
Speaker 1: it out and the dB got caught thinking Joe Flacco

475
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: couldn't throw it that far and it went right over

476
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,840
Speaker 1: his head touchdown. They lose the game on an improbable

477
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: lucky luck chuck. You know, so it happens. So that's

478
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that Josh gives you. So you

479
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 1: get out here and you get used to that as

480
00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: a receiver, and you get comfortable with your quarterback running

481
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,919
Speaker 1: around back there. Knowing what he expects, you'll have an

482
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,040
Speaker 1: idea of what he expects, and you'll be able to

483
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,240
Speaker 1: give him what he expects and you can make a

484
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,719
Speaker 1: completion out of a bad play. We heard from Leslie

485
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Frazier before practice this morning, the defensive coordinator addressing the media,

486
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,240
Speaker 1: and the one note that I jotted down that was

487
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: of greatest interest to me was he does say that

488
00:27:17,080 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: rookie Terrell Bernard is being schooled up to know both

489
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 1: the MIC and will linebacker positions. They believe he's smart

490
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:29,560
Speaker 1: enough to handle the responsibilities of both, and he will

491
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: be backing up both, you know, presumably along with other

492
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:37,280
Speaker 1: linebackers like Tyrrell Dotson and other guys further down the

493
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,919
Speaker 1: depth chart. But I found that very interesting giving a

494
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 1: rookie a dual role, not that they don't do that

495
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:46,600
Speaker 1: for other players. Kalil Shakir is expected to know all

496
00:27:46,640 --> 00:27:51,120
Speaker 1: the positions on offense at the receiver spot. So this

497
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: is why they draft smart players because it offers them

498
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:59,320
Speaker 1: greater position flexibility and quite frankly, if you're smart enough

499
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: to handle that volume of information, chances are you gonna

500
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: get on the field quicker Because if a guy gets

501
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: injured at one spot and that's the only spot you fill, well,

502
00:28:07,960 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: your chances are less lesser of getting on the field

503
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 1: then if you back up two spots. Um. I just

504
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,479
Speaker 1: find that very interesting. I mean, they do their homework

505
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: on these draft prospects all the time, and it's no

506
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: accident that you got a guy like Terrell Bernard and

507
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:30,359
Speaker 1: a guy like Khalil Shaker, even an undrafted guy like

508
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 1: Nick McLeod capable of lining up and multiple positions. They

509
00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: really dive deep into the football IQ and the study habits.

510
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,360
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, of these prospects and well, it pays dividends.

511
00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,720
Speaker 1: And it's also I'll say this too, Brownie's not just

512
00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: and it is about that, about being a guy being

513
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 1: able to retain and being not only athletically fit and

514
00:28:54,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: sizeable enough to do both jobs once he gets on

515
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,840
Speaker 1: the field. So if you even if you pick a

516
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,479
Speaker 1: pick a spot for him, he's got to be physically

517
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:05,280
Speaker 1: able to play. But if he's physically able to play

518
00:29:05,400 --> 00:29:08,640
Speaker 1: multiple spots and you find out he's smart enough to

519
00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:13,120
Speaker 1: get there and retain that information, here's what there's a

520
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 1: big carry over by being one of those guys that's

521
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,840
Speaker 1: able to do that and also being one of those

522
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: guys that in two or three years is significantly better

523
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: at all of it than he was today when he

524
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: starts when you first got it. Smart players get better.

525
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:34,640
Speaker 1: Dumb players are the same guy in ten years as

526
00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:37,760
Speaker 1: they were the day drafted him. Smart guys get better,

527
00:29:38,360 --> 00:29:41,640
Speaker 1: and that's you know, as you've seen we go on

528
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: and on about the player development aspect of this organization,

529
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 1: it starts with the guys they grab in the draft

530
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,880
Speaker 1: and in free agency. And we've seen it time and

531
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:54,240
Speaker 1: time and time again under Brandon being in that personnel department.

532
00:29:54,240 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here, but when we

Speaker 1: but there ain't many. Well this is what this is

563
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: my thought on it. You know, you got a bunch

564
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: of guys that's that's more experienced. You know, this is

565

Speaker 1: an experienced line. You know got you got the young,

566
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,000
Speaker 1: you got the live and everybody's just confident. You know,

567
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,280
Speaker 1: once you got guys who's been playing for a long time,

568
00:31:54,640 --> 00:31:57,200
Speaker 1: they're the confidence. Show that. It's not only me, you

569
00:31:57,200 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: know I did show it more, but everybody's big kid man.

570
00:32:00,920 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: Everybody's everybody's in your thing. Everybody's twenty one, and you

571
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,680
Speaker 1: know that's this, this, this d line and this inside

572
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:10,560
Speaker 1: you know, uh, I'd have been around some great ones,

573
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: but you know, as far as experienced, you know, I'm

574
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,200
Speaker 1: still learning. I'm learning from these guys every day. You

575
00:32:15,280 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: know that they're teaching, you know, and you know even

576
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360
Speaker 1: if I could correct them on anything. And it says

577
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: we want to we all set a goal, and we

578
00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: all want to achieve, and we all want to do great. Right.

579
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: Most of the most people don't think about this. You know,

580
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,040
Speaker 1: they see you on the fields, think it's all great,

581
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,920
Speaker 1: you guys, and they know you're practice and all that.

582
00:32:29,960 --> 00:32:33,160
Speaker 1: But one of the things that's really fun to think about,

583
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: if you're a regular fan, think about Tim Settle and

584
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: take Kuan Jones and Ed Oliver m all these use

585
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: big guys, Vonne all sitting in one small room with

586
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:49,280
Speaker 1: a coach, watching film and and being you know, being

587
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: close enough buddies that you can bust each other hard

588
00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: all the time. It's an atmosphere that's really uni and

589
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:56,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of fun to be a part of.

590
00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: But that's a tough room to come in. You gotta

591
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: have some thick skin to be in that room. Am

592
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: I writing? Oh, there was an idea of what that

593
00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: rooms like these days. Oh yeah, you know, even with

594
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,760
Speaker 1: you know, he pops it all sometimes. You know, however

595
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:09,960
Speaker 1: he's feeling he might come in there, he might be

596
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:13,360
Speaker 1: allowed when that day. But uh, you know, uh, it's

597
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: it's funny too. He was in the room and I

598
00:33:15,840 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 1: had leaning back, broke one of our chairs, chair breaking.

599
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,480
Speaker 1: Everybody looked back at beyond of the care. I don't care.

600
00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,920
Speaker 1: I'm big. How how cool is it to kinda be

601
00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: back on the same side of the ball as Tremaine?

602
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:31,040
Speaker 1: You guys crossed over a cup. You were teammates for

603
00:33:31,080 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: what two seasons or three? We were teammates, but two

604
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 1: seasons we were together. Yeah, So, I mean, I know

605
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 1: he wasn't calling the defense at Voltech. He was kind

606
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,600
Speaker 1: of closer up on the line sometimes playing outside. What's

607
00:33:43,640 --> 00:33:45,800
Speaker 1: it like to kind of be lining up with Tremaine again?

608
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,600
Speaker 1: That's gonna be cool. That's amazing. You know, I feel

609
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: like playing with him. You know, I got eyes in

610
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: the back of my head. You know how we how

611
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:54,560
Speaker 1: we played at Virginia Tech. I had everything inside here,

612
00:33:54,560 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: every everything outside, and now I got everything inside, he

613
00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,920
Speaker 1: got everything outside. And if he don't got it out

614
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 1: about them coming outside. But you know, it's it's You've

615
00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 1: got the same guys, you know, we're just older and

616
00:34:06,440 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: were faster, stronger, smarter, you know, And uh, I can't

617
00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:12,480
Speaker 1: wait to play with him, and I can't wait to

618
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,319
Speaker 1: uh to make things better for him, you know, even

619
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,120
Speaker 1: though I know they was good for him last year,

620
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 1: but they're gonna be even better this year. I mean.

621
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,360
Speaker 1: It's one of the things about the Bills that we've

622
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: noticed sitting here watching them for years. Leslie Fraser, Sean

623
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,279
Speaker 1: McDermott and those They rotate, you guys through a lot.

624
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: There's a lot of different combinations out there. It's like

625
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,319
Speaker 1: a scientist with the little test tubes trying how do

626
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: you work with this guy and how does he work

627
00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: with these guys and what combination is right? That goes

628
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: on all through camp and then in the regular season

629
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:39,600
Speaker 1: they kind of get into a pattern. How does that

630
00:34:39,640 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: work for? What do you guys talk about in the

631
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: room about who you like and how you work together?

632
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:47,000
Speaker 1: And and it must be really competitive in there because

633
00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,080
Speaker 1: you want to get more and more reps. You know,

634
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:51,279
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy, you know, uh, you know, as far

635
00:34:51,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: as the packages and the stuff that we do and

636
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: certain defenses that we're in. You know, this is the

637
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,480
Speaker 1: versatility and the creativity that we have within another. You know,

638
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,319
Speaker 1: some of it's times, you know, coach, let us just

639
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: talk and express how we feel about something, and you know,

640
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,040
Speaker 1: it's everything's free ball. So you know, you got a

641
00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: guy like Vine, you got a guy like a big Field.

642
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,560
Speaker 1: They might tell you to do something. You gotta have

643
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:13,560
Speaker 1: the confidence to do it. Line up and just go

644
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 1: go with what they got going on. You know, they've

645
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,359
Speaker 1: been in the league long enough, they played a lot

646
00:35:17,360 --> 00:35:19,560
Speaker 1: of football. They know what they know how to go

647
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: get certain protections and stuff like that. So it's just

648
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,080
Speaker 1: it's crazy. You know, it's just a bundle of joy

649
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: just being in being in with these guys and this

650
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: seeing this everybody opening their minds and being able to

651
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:34,360
Speaker 1: express towards everybody. You know, like any anybody can express

652
00:35:34,440 --> 00:35:36,759
Speaker 1: something that we all will go through. So walk me

653
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:42,040
Speaker 1: through your free agency process. What sold you on Buffalo?

654
00:35:42,080 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 1: How much were you in Tremaine's here to get a

655
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,120
Speaker 1: lay of the land, here to know what you'd be

656
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: walking into if you signed with Buffalo. Just walk us

657
00:35:48,480 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: through that free agency process. It was really quick you know,

658
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:54,919
Speaker 1: for me, as soon as the tim timmering period came,

659
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 1: you know, it was within Like I remember, I wasn't

660
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,720
Speaker 1: worried about it until like I was worried about tomorrow,

661
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, the tamper period of the tamper period. But

662
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: my agent contacted me. He was like, Yo, Buffalo is interested.

663
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,239
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my goodness. And I remember I

664
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:12,439
Speaker 1: had a flashback. It was fifty something and I don't

665
00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: know the score, but uh, you know, I've seen that

666
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 1: they had an amazing quarterback, you know, and I've seen

667
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,960
Speaker 1: the situation that they're entered, and you know, I've seen

668
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: that they were building to words something great and I

669
00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,399
Speaker 1: wanted to be a part of it. It wasn't hard

670
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:25,840
Speaker 1: for me to pick, you know, it wasn't hard for

671
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 1: my family to agree with with with the decision. And

672
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, uh, you know, I'm beyond ecstatic and I'm

673
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,200
Speaker 1: beyond excited to be here. Did you talk Were you

674
00:36:34,239 --> 00:36:36,920
Speaker 1: talking about the game between Washington and Buffalo last year?

675
00:36:37,080 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 1: So what what were your impressions being on the other

676
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: sideline last year of that team? Was like, I hope

677
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 1: they saw scoring. You're not hoping that now he joined them?

678
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 1: You're and me all right from me, you were you're

679
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,239
Speaker 1: part of the in Washington last year he had all

680
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:56,760
Speaker 1: those number one picks, He had a lot of high expectations,

681
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,520
Speaker 1: and the whole group and the team was, you know,

682
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 1: just pointing. Certainly, Fitzpatrick going down in the offense. You know,

683
00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:07,360
Speaker 1: going under you didn't help things. What when you transpose

684
00:37:07,440 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 1: what you went through last year with that crew and

685
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:12,919
Speaker 1: this year with what it looks like coming down the pipe.

686
00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 1: And I know last year there was high expectation, thought

687
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,920
Speaker 1: it was gonna be great. What you know, you know,

688
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: compare and contrast this room and this defense, this philosophy

689
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: and what's going on here in Buffalo with a year ago. Um,

690
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 1: you know it's this. Uh you know, I learned a

691
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,359
Speaker 1: lot in Washington that uh, you know, opportunity, whatever you get,

692
00:37:30,360 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: you gotta take advantage of it. Sees it, you know,

693
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,439
Speaker 1: no matter how much time you play, no matter what

694
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: you know. Uh, all kind of got the pattern. And

695
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 1: I wasn't playing that much. I didn't even bother me.

696
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: I just said, however, I'm gonna make a play. I

697
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: make a play. You know. Uh, now you come here

698
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 1: is is who's gonna eat? You know, everybody's is. We're

699
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,640
Speaker 1: gonna be We're gonna put this out here. Who's gonna eat?

700
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna be a frenzy and we're gonna

701
00:37:50,640 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: have fun. Yeah, I need a fist pump for you

702
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: because I got one for you because you appreciate simple goodness.

00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: Vanilla bean is your favorite ice cream flavor, and there

704
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,359
Speaker 1: is something to be said about simple goodness and that's

705
00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:06,440
Speaker 1: what vanilla bean is. Now, how crazy do you get

706
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 1: with toppings on ice cream? I'm gonna keep it real,

707
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,480
Speaker 1: basic and simple. You know, I don't want a lot

708
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:14,239
Speaker 1: of things throwing me off. I'm trying to get straight

709
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: to the point. You know, I want to taste the

710
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:18,840
Speaker 1: vanilla bean. I'm not trying to taste no Eminem's and

711
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: no oreos. Yeah, I might put a little chocolate syrup.

712
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:25,520
Speaker 1: Chocolate syrup, right, you are speaking my life. Give me

713
00:38:25,560 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 1: a sugar coomb. And this has another being ice cream

00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,920
Speaker 1: like that. I know people in the ice cream business.

715
00:38:32,080 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 1: I got some stuff for you. But it'll be good.

716
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: It might change your mind a little bit. You might

717
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: change your mind a little bit just as a as

Speaker 1: I'm I've always been a vanilla, a vanilla guy, and

720
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:46,759

Speaker 1: bills dot com Kids Day for more info. There is

786
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:53,680
Speaker 1: some news concerning the Bills preseason opener against the Colts.

787
00:41:54,440 --> 00:41:56,960
Speaker 1: Colts head coach Frank Reich said Matt Ryan will play

788
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:01,000
Speaker 1: up to a full quarter in Saturday's preseason, a big

789
00:42:01,080 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: change from how the Colts have treated the preseason the

790
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 1: last few years. That's according to Colts beat reporter Zach

791
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:13,440
Speaker 1: Kiefer out in Indianapolis. And I wonder what the Bills

792
00:42:13,440 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: will decide to do with their starting unit. I would

793
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: anticipate they play some a full quarter, though I don't

794
00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,720
Speaker 1: think the Bills have ever shied away from that. Though, Yeah,

795
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,760
Speaker 1: you think about in two thousand, was it nineteen twenty twenty,

796
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 1: the last week of the season, the regular season, when

797
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 1: they had it all sewn up and the last thing,

798
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:37,200
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, you actually do have a trip

799
00:42:37,239 --> 00:42:41,040
Speaker 1: to the Super Bowl in mind. Josh Aden played a

800
00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:46,440
Speaker 1: full half a game they didn't need. Yeah. Um, and

801
00:42:46,600 --> 00:42:51,160
Speaker 1: with a new offensive coordinator, Yeah, I think they'll probably

802
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 1: play him a little bit, don't you. Yes, I don't

803
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:57,440
Speaker 1: know if I think they give him a quarter a

804
00:42:57,440 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 1: couple of yeah. Yeah. The the playing time has shifted

805
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:05,200
Speaker 1: since it's moved back to three precinct preseason games from four,

806
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:07,719
Speaker 1: so the math is a little bit different now for

807
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,240
Speaker 1: coaches around the league. So it'll be interesting to see

808
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,720
Speaker 1: what the playing time looks like. We talked to Leslie

809
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 1: Frazier today and he said some of those final decisions

810
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,640
Speaker 1: on playing time for certain people, certain units is going

811
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 1: to be ironed out today and tomorrow by the coaching staff.

812
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:27,800
Speaker 1: So we'll just have to wait and see what comes

813
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:33,280
Speaker 1: of it for Saturday's game, Steve, the NFL Power rankings

814
00:43:33,360 --> 00:43:38,000
Speaker 1: from NFL dot COM's Dan han Zeus is out, and

815
00:43:38,080 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 1: you'll be happy to know the Bills are ranked number one,

816
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:46,720
Speaker 1: ranked number two, Steve, you want to throw out a guess,

817
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:55,080
Speaker 1: I would say Chiefs. It is the Ramps. So the

818
00:43:55,200 --> 00:44:00,200
Speaker 1: season opener is going to feature the number one and

819
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:04,280
Speaker 1: two power ranked teams, according to Dan Hanzus of NFL

820
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 1: dot Com. Here's what he says about the Rams. Rams

821
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: coach Sean McVay said he'd sleep better after he watched

822
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:15,479
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford throw without limitations on Saturday, a positive sign

823
00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,440
Speaker 1: that the quarterbacks unusual elbow issue can be effectively managed

824
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 1: ahead of Week one beyond, the defending champs seemed to

825
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 1: have less uncertainty around Alan Robinson, who has opened eyes

826
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:31,040
Speaker 1: during training camp. So the reporters out there have lost

827
00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 1: count of how many people connected to the Rams have

828
00:44:35,280 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: raved about the wide receiver. They feel safe taking the

829
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 1: ride on the hype machine. They did suffer some losses

830
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball. They lost defensive

831
00:44:44,880 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: tackle Sebastian Joseph Day he went and signed with the

832
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 1: Chargers across the street. They lost Von Miller, as we know,

833
00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:55,879
Speaker 1: they did add Bobby Wagner at the linebacker level. That's

834
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,880
Speaker 1: a nice ad for them, even as a ten year veteran.

835
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 1: But I wonder, you know, if they'll suffer at all

836
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,240
Speaker 1: up front after losing Vaughan and one of their starting dts.

837
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: They may have young guys ready, and I know, I

838
00:45:13,360 --> 00:45:16,040
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't they still have Robert Quinn. I believe, yeah,

839
00:45:15,880 --> 00:45:18,320
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be fine. Certainly they may feel

840
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:20,120
Speaker 1: like it's not as easy as it was last year,

841
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,880
Speaker 1: but I still think they're going to be really productive.

842
00:45:22,080 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: And as we know, no OBJ either as of right now.

843
00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: So they're gonna look a little different, I think. And

844
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:34,799
Speaker 1: it makes you wonder. And it's funny because you think

845
00:45:34,840 --> 00:45:36,640
Speaker 1: about the team that's gonna be on the losing end

846
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,400
Speaker 1: of that game in Week one, their fans are going

847
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,520
Speaker 1: to be throwing their hands up like chicken little, thinking

848
00:45:42,560 --> 00:45:44,520
Speaker 1: the sky is falling. In the grand scheme of things,

849
00:45:44,560 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: it's one out of seventeen games. Like, whichever team loses

850
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: that game, I think the vast majority of people still

851
00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:53,799
Speaker 1: expect whichever the loser of that game is to be

852
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Right, So don't get your underwearing a

853
00:45:58,719 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 1: bunch after one game, I guess, is what I'm saying,

854
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 1: No matter whether you're a RAS. The Bills went through

855
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,800
Speaker 1: that last year. They dropped a game Openingsburg Steelers, and

856
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:11,319
Speaker 1: you know they went on to you know, have a

857
00:46:11,360 --> 00:46:13,360
Speaker 1: shot late in the season and everything, their hopes and

858
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 1: dreams and their desires were all Okay, you're right, Um,

859
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 1: it's not going to be indicative. I know this. That

860
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:27,239
Speaker 1: team last year the Bills team last year was every

861
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,520
Speaker 1: bid is good and every bid is bad, whatever you

862
00:46:29,600 --> 00:46:31,400
Speaker 1: want to say. It as the twenty twenty team. And

863
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: I've told you this, Brownie, the twenty twenty team who

864
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,560
Speaker 1: went to the AFC Championship game in Kansas City and lost,

865
00:46:37,880 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 1: was just as good as this team the Bills had

866
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,760
Speaker 1: last year that went to the division around in Kansas

867
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: City and lost. The difference was the way they looked

868
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: in that game in Kansas City where it went to

869
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:51,480
Speaker 1: overtime and jot and they scored with thirteen seconds ago,

870
00:46:51,520 --> 00:46:53,080
Speaker 1: and they still somehow they got to let them off

871
00:46:53,080 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: the hook. All that stuff, the excitement and the buzz

872
00:46:56,520 --> 00:47:00,279
Speaker 1: surrounding that game stuck with this team, this Bills team

873
00:47:00,320 --> 00:47:03,640
Speaker 1: all the way through the offseason. Just like the AFC

874
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: Championship game two years ago. They lost by two touchdowns

875
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 1: in a game where they played their worst game of

876
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:12,000
Speaker 1: the season, literally played their worst game of the season

877
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:15,319
Speaker 1: in that game against the Chiefs. The Chiefs played their

878
00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 1: best game of the season. They beat them by two touchdowns.

879
00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 1: And people that really blunted the outlook. Come at what

880
00:47:24,560 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 1: I'm saying is everybody, me, you, general public public opinion

881
00:47:28,360 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: is all about the moment and the moment the Bills

882
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,239
Speaker 1: are still living in is that thirteen second loss to

883
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:40,319
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs eight months ago. So a lot

884
00:47:40,320 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 1: of things have changed, a lot of things have changed.

885
00:47:43,360 --> 00:47:45,520
Speaker 1: So and I think that the Rams are sitting in

886
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:47,520
Speaker 1: that same boat. We don't know who these guys are

887
00:47:47,520 --> 00:47:49,960
Speaker 1: gonna be. We don't know who the Rams are gonna be,

888
00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,719
Speaker 1: and so you just gotta wait and find out. But

889
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,960
Speaker 1: I know this, they're gonna the Bills are gonna be good.

890
00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,920
Speaker 1: They're gonna be really good. And what that looks like

891
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:01,880
Speaker 1: a good football team, their schedule and their challenge, he's

892
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 1: gonna look like I'm not quite sure. I know this.

893
00:48:04,560 --> 00:48:06,880
Speaker 1: This this is gonna team's gonna go to the playoffs

894
00:48:06,880 --> 00:48:09,320
Speaker 1: and they're gonna I think they're gonna win this division

895
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:11,959
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a shot at the super Bowl again.

896
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:15,320
Speaker 1: There is good news out of Rams camp. Van Jefferson

897
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,839
Speaker 1: started working his way into the practice setting again. He's

898
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:22,719
Speaker 1: doing wide receiver type things. There was some doubt that

899
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,719
Speaker 1: he may not be ready for the season opener. That

900
00:48:24,800 --> 00:48:26,960
Speaker 1: is still up in the air, but they're calling that

901
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: an encouraging sign going forward. As we're still just under

902
00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:32,759
Speaker 1: a month from the season opener. We have to take

903
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,719
Speaker 1: a break here because when we come back, it's CBS

Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

00:49:35,680 --> 00:49:41,080
Speaker 1: hour number two by NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan Washburn,

916
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:45,560
Speaker 1: who took in Bill's practice today and has been running

917
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,640
Speaker 1: the gamut of training camps you might have. You might

918
00:49:48,680 --> 00:49:51,400
Speaker 1: be up there with the other national guys for number

919
00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 1: of camps hit here in the last couple of weeks.

920
00:49:54,120 --> 00:49:56,560
Speaker 1: Are you okay, you're a little road we reet or yeah, well,

921
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:57,799
Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys know, we do have

922
00:49:57,800 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: a power ranking to stay if you will, where your

923
00:50:01,239 --> 00:50:06,080
Speaker 1: your ratings determined by mileage and access. I got to check.

924
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,080
Speaker 1: I want to see where we'll send it to you

925
00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,719
Speaker 1: guys afterwards. Where are you out on the list? You

926
00:50:10,760 --> 00:50:13,319
Speaker 1: got to be in the top three. I think that's

927
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,279
Speaker 1: a lot for doubt. This is your aid of the tour.

928
00:50:15,320 --> 00:50:16,880
Speaker 1: So I feel like as long as I'm getting a

929
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:22,839
Speaker 1: little bit better each day, right progress, No, it's it's been.

930
00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:25,239
Speaker 1: It's awesome. Yeah, it's a it's a grind in a

931
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,680
Speaker 1: lot of ways because you're doing for me. It's eleven

932
00:50:27,800 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: teams in fourteen days. And because of what happened in

933
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 1: the AFC West this offseason, and then just you know what,

934
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: what they have out west with the Rams Super Bowl champs,

935
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: we found ourselves having to go out West twice and

936
00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: then hit Miami. So those trips were a little you know,

937
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:48,200
Speaker 1: challenging from a from a flight standpoint. But I just

938
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 1: I find this time of year so important. We were

939
00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:54,760
Speaker 1: talking about it earlier, just in understanding the foundation of

940
00:50:54,960 --> 00:50:57,080
Speaker 1: these teams. You're not gonna be able to have, in

941
00:50:57,120 --> 00:50:59,680
Speaker 1: my opinion, as somebody coming in for a day a

942
00:51:00,040 --> 00:51:03,120
Speaker 1: wrong opinion, or you shouldn't on what a team's gonna

943
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,320
Speaker 1: be or is, because who knows. They could be working

944
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,160
Speaker 1: on something where the defense is in a vulnerable spot.

945
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:12,279
Speaker 1: But I do think, as I was saying to Josh

946
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,320
Speaker 1: Allen earlier today, you get a good vibe on teams.

947
00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:17,959
Speaker 1: It's like the vibe check what's the vibe here? And

948
00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:21,040
Speaker 1: that's been I think a valuable and fun process. Yeah,

949
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:23,240
Speaker 1: it gets you get an idea of where they're coming,

950
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:26,600
Speaker 1: how they ended last season, what they've done in the offseason,

951
00:51:26,880 --> 00:51:29,400
Speaker 1: how it's coming together, and what their plan is going for.

952
00:51:29,480 --> 00:51:31,880
Speaker 1: You get a little snapshot of that right where it stands.

953
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: And like today next to the last day at training

954
00:51:34,320 --> 00:51:36,280
Speaker 1: camp here at Saint John Fisher, you get an idea

955
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:40,279
Speaker 1: of how far they've come. Is it going according to plan?

956
00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,839
Speaker 1: Have they had to adjust already? Are there some guys

957
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: who are like, oh, I thought that guy was gonna

958
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 1: be better? Or wow, we got some guys flashing. I

959
00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:49,080
Speaker 1: told you about the draft class, Brownie, and I've been

960
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,200
Speaker 1: raving about. Give us your sense of the vibe here,

961
00:51:52,280 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 1: what's it? How's it do you like? How's it like here?

962
00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:56,880
Speaker 1: And give us an idea of how it fits into

963
00:51:56,960 --> 00:51:58,600
Speaker 1: some of the other camps you've seen well. I would

964
00:51:58,600 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 1: say that the vibes in probably as positive a realm

965
00:52:04,160 --> 00:52:06,920
Speaker 1: as you can be, just based off of who you

966
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:11,319
Speaker 1: have leading the offense, leading the team in general. You know,

967
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:15,080
Speaker 1: the kind of that message that starts with Sean, with

968
00:52:15,160 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: Brandon as well, and it kind of seems to trickle down.

969
00:52:18,239 --> 00:52:21,120
Speaker 1: And then when you're a lister, your star seems to

970
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:24,759
Speaker 1: embrace the fans here the fact that it's still the

971
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 1: dog days of camp, but they're out there having fun.

972
00:52:27,160 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: I mean, even guys on our crew that are kind

973
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,080
Speaker 1: of seeing the bills for the first time in person,

974
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 1: like man Josh Allens, He's having fun. He seems to

975
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: be having fun. And this is what you know, day

976
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:39,440
Speaker 1: twelve of camp and to still be bringing it to

977
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 1: me is indicative of the confidence, the belief, and the

978
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:47,279
Speaker 1: energy that a team has going into the season. And

979
00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 1: then I mean, I think the fact that and you

980
00:52:50,040 --> 00:52:53,240
Speaker 1: brought it up, but that the defense and the story

981
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:56,400
Speaker 1: of what that side of the ball could be probably

982
00:52:56,480 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: isn't being talked about enough with this team. Yeah, and

983
00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:03,360
Speaker 1: then you know Miami, which I think is going to

984
00:53:03,400 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: be the most formidable opponent for the Bills in the

985
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,960
Speaker 1: division this year primarily because of their defense, and then

986
00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:11,439
Speaker 1: if their offense comes along, maybe they might have something there.

987
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:17,120
Speaker 1: What do you feel are their expectations their approach to

988
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:20,400
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, because I know they felt they probably

989
00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:22,480
Speaker 1: should have been in the playoffs last year one eight

990
00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,960
Speaker 1: of their last nine, as you know, and now with

991
00:53:25,080 --> 00:53:28,960
Speaker 1: what they've added, chiefly with Tyreek Hill, I think they

992
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 1: see themselves as a get over the hump team this year,

993
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 1: right like I would think that's that's the goal. I

994
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:37,759
Speaker 1: will say there's and I'm trying to think back to

995
00:53:37,880 --> 00:53:41,800
Speaker 1: recent years obviously before Josh got here, that vibe and camp.

996
00:53:41,840 --> 00:53:45,280
Speaker 1: When there's a quarterback that's under the microscope, it seems

997
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 1: to change the complete tenor of at least the coverage

998
00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,440
Speaker 1: and the vibe. The vibe I got in Miami was

999
00:53:51,760 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: they are watching, and by they mostly those of us

1000
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 1: that are covering the team. Everything to it does. I

1001
00:53:58,160 --> 00:54:02,320
Speaker 1: mean every throw is to the microscope. They're charting seven

1002
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:07,799
Speaker 1: on seven repletion percentages. But the team periods and that

1003
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,520
Speaker 1: kind of swallows up the energy in terms of what

1004
00:54:11,840 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 1: you're getting out of that team. Now catching up with

1005
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 1: Mike BC, Daniel for the first time. Briefly, you can

1006
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: tell this guy sees the game in a unique way,

1007
00:54:22,239 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: is very comfortable in his own skin, has an authentic personality.

1008
00:54:25,840 --> 00:54:29,319
Speaker 1: Guys seem to really respond to it. And they have

1009
00:54:29,600 --> 00:54:34,000
Speaker 1: a threat in Tyreek Hill that changes every game and

1010
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: every defense that has to face him. So well, all

1011
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 1: the eyes and discussion start and seem to end right

1012
00:54:40,680 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 1: now with Tua and what he looks like, what he's

1013
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: gonna look like. I think to your point, they have

1014
00:54:45,600 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 1: the luxury of a solid defense, a strong defense, continuity

1015
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:53,800
Speaker 1: on the staff. They kept that staff. Boer defensive coordinator remains,

1016
00:54:54,160 --> 00:54:56,319
Speaker 1: and then they have Tyreek Hill who can cover up

1017
00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,560
Speaker 1: so much in jail and waddle as well. I mean,

1018
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:02,000
Speaker 1: speed is gonna be theme when you face Miami. When

1019
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: you've gone out to the other camps, give us an

1020
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:07,239
Speaker 1: idea because you said it, You're right. I see Josh too,

1021
00:55:07,280 --> 00:55:11,400
Speaker 1: and he's out there day whatever eleventh practice of training

1022
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 1: camp or whatever it is, and just still seems fresh,

1023
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,400
Speaker 1: yes you know what I'm saying, and like not emotionally fresh,

1024
00:55:17,680 --> 00:55:20,440
Speaker 1: like everybody's tired all that, but no, he seems like

1025
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: it's day one. He's like, Wow, this is fun. You know,

1026
00:55:24,320 --> 00:55:28,400
Speaker 1: give us your thoughts, and you covered a ton of

1027
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:30,799
Speaker 1: games from the sidelines, you watched the sidelines, and how

1028
00:55:30,840 --> 00:55:35,120
Speaker 1: those guys what what kind of difference does the personality

1029
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: of any given quarterback like a Pat because Mahomes is great,

1030
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: but he's not Josh, and Josh isn't Mahomes and Josh

1031
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: isn't Aaron Rodgers, and Rogers isn't Brady. How do you

1032
00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:50,360
Speaker 1: see the personality of that guy manifest itself throughout the

1033
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:52,359
Speaker 1: roster when you're when you're standing there on game day

1034
00:55:52,400 --> 00:55:56,319
Speaker 1: and you're watching the sidelines, I get you get a

1035
00:55:56,360 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 1: feel for how it because it does affect everybody. And Steve,

1036
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:06,600
Speaker 1: I think you really sense it in those moments and

1037
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:08,920
Speaker 1: if you've been around it long enough, even if you

1038
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,319
Speaker 1: didn't play, you know the moments in a game where

1039
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 1: you need that guy to be that guy. Now, I

1040
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 1: will say the number one thing I've been told and

1041
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:22,560
Speaker 1: I've I've also sensed from being on those sidelines and

1042
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,239
Speaker 1: close to those moments and those players you have to

1043
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: be you because nobody is better at sniffing out fake

1044
00:56:29,440 --> 00:56:33,800
Speaker 1: than professional athletes, and I would say especially football players.

1045
00:56:33,800 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: So if it's not coming from a place of authenticity.

1046
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 1: Leave it at home. But I will add that if

1047
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: you don't bring it in those moments as a quarterback,

1048
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,080
Speaker 1: I think you are not necessarily completing the full requirements

1049
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,640
Speaker 1: of the job. Because as much it is about the throws,

1050
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:58,680
Speaker 1: knowing the scheme, commanding the offense, you have to be

1051
00:56:58,719 --> 00:57:02,719
Speaker 1: able to rally a group in those moments where they're

1052
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,879
Speaker 1: on the ropes if you will. And I think Josh

1053
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 1: has proven to be able to do that. The guys

1054
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,719
Speaker 1: you mentioned and that's where I Joe Burrow showed me

1055
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:14,120
Speaker 1: a lot last year in moments both regular season and postseason.

1056
00:57:14,160 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 1: To have that in them, I think that's a that's

1057
00:57:16,320 --> 00:57:20,320
Speaker 1: a trait that probably doesn't get you valued enough. All right.

1058
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: You know, I haven't seen you since we were doing

1059
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: the sidelines of the New England Bills game that cold

1060
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 1: game playoff game where all right, So we saw that game.

1061
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: It was a perfect game by Buffalo. It's unbelievable, and

1062
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 1: we had this conversation orders today. We should recount it

1063
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:36,360
Speaker 1: now because I think it's really interesting. Ken Dorsey takes

1064
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:39,240
Speaker 1: over this offense, and I told you what happens if

1065
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:41,160
Speaker 1: he hits a home run? Is it gonna look the

1066
00:57:41,200 --> 00:57:43,080
Speaker 1: same as it did in the New England and Kansas

1067
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 1: City games at the end of last year. What credit

1068
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 1: is that to? You know what I'm saying. If he

1069
00:57:47,080 --> 00:57:50,320
Speaker 1: hits a home run, it's gonna look the same. I

1070
00:57:50,360 --> 00:57:52,080
Speaker 1: don't know if they can. They can't play better than

1071
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,440
Speaker 1: they played better than they were playing at the end

1072
00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,160
Speaker 1: of last year. What are your thoughts on Ken Dorsey

1073
00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 1: taking over? What it's gonna look like all of that. Sure,

1074
00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:03,200
Speaker 1: it's the most intriguing storyline, I imagine for those of

1075
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:04,760
Speaker 1: you that are covering this team on a day to

1076
00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: day basis and for those of us parachuting in as

1077
00:58:08,240 --> 00:58:10,600
Speaker 1: we get ready for this season. And I thought it

1078
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:13,640
Speaker 1: was a great point on from your perspective. And I

1079
00:58:13,680 --> 00:58:16,040
Speaker 1: think the way I could best frame it is the

1080
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: standard is there's no ability to achieve, you know, success

1081
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,640
Speaker 1: if you're valuing it as being better than what Brian

1082
00:58:25,720 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 1: did or what this offense did the standard did. I

1083
00:58:28,160 --> 00:58:32,400
Speaker 1: think success is matching the standard. And also I've thought

1084
00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:34,439
Speaker 1: about it more and then catching up with Josh after

1085
00:58:34,960 --> 00:58:39,479
Speaker 1: after practice, I think it's also Ken being comfortable doing

1086
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,840
Speaker 1: it his way and hearing from players on that side

1087
00:58:42,880 --> 00:58:45,880
Speaker 1: of the ball. That you know, whether the numbers match

1088
00:58:45,960 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 1: up exactly in the results. Obviously they want them to

1089
00:58:49,040 --> 00:58:53,000
Speaker 1: be the same. But if there's a sense of, well,

1090
00:58:53,040 --> 00:58:55,560
Speaker 1: Ken's doing his thing, you know, you know, right or wrong,

1091
00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 1: he's doing his thing, and he doesn't waver in those moments,

1092
00:58:59,400 --> 00:59:02,080
Speaker 1: those pivot moments in a game, or they have a

1093
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: down performance, and then there's a response as a group.

1094
00:59:06,280 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna be where if I was to

1095
00:59:08,240 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: evaluate Ken Dorsey, it would be how do you manage

1096
00:59:11,600 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: the inevitable waves, ups and downs of a season? Not

1097
00:59:16,360 --> 00:59:19,320
Speaker 1: so much matching up. Okay, here's the passing offense with Dabel,

1098
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,000
Speaker 1: you know, and playing the numbers game, because I think

1099
00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,960
Speaker 1: that that's you know, that's fleeting. I know that. You know,

1100
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: you're Baltimore based. You got into Ravens camp. You spoke

1101
00:59:28,160 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: to Lamar Jackson recently. He's a guy that he and

1102
00:59:31,480 --> 00:59:35,280
Speaker 1: his mom represent themselves when it comes to contract negotiations.

1103
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:39,080
Speaker 1: It hasn't happened yet. It doesn't have any kind at

1104
00:59:39,160 --> 00:59:40,800
Speaker 1: least on the outside, it doesn't appear to have any

1105
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,840
Speaker 1: kind of acrimony similar to what we witnessed with Kyler

1106
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: Murray and the Cardinals. You know, scrubbing his social media

1107
00:59:46,480 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 1: and god knows what else. There's none of that here.

1108
00:59:50,080 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 1: So from the outside it looks like it reduces the urgency.

1109
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: But the bottom line is this guy is taking a

1110
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:58,919
Speaker 1: risk every time he steps out onto the field without

1111
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 1: that long term contract security. So where is he on

1112
01:00:02,480 --> 01:00:06,080
Speaker 1: that personally? To me? So I've been covering lady, this

1113
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 1: will be year nine. I've been around it for a

1114
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:11,520
Speaker 1: little over ten years. I've never seen anything like this

1115
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,520
Speaker 1: from a quarterback perspective, a contract perspective, when you think

1116
01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,080
Speaker 1: about where the money has gotten in terms of what

1117
01:00:18,120 --> 01:00:21,280
Speaker 1: these guys are commanding, where he falls in the pecking

1118
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: order as a former MVP and a guy who at

1119
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:28,880
Speaker 1: twenty five, the Ravens have completely invested their organization and

1120
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 1: their style of offense in for there to be no

1121
01:00:32,360 --> 01:00:36,600
Speaker 1: real clarity on what the parameters, what the desires in

1122
01:00:36,720 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: terms of length money are, that's a testament to look.

1123
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,520
Speaker 1: The Ravens are able to keep things in house, I

1124
01:00:42,560 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 1: would say as good, if not better than anybody. Like

1125
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 1: nobody knew about the Marquise Hollywood Brown trade and that

1126
01:00:47,640 --> 01:00:49,480
Speaker 1: was in the works for a while, so that's a

1127
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: good evidence to you know, it may seem like, why

1128
01:00:52,640 --> 01:00:54,360
Speaker 1: aren't they do anything? They could be doing a lot

1129
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 1: and we just have no idea, I would say. And

1130
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: then the other layer to it, and this part of

1131
01:01:00,360 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: the you know, conversation I had with Lamar yesterday and

1132
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:05,440
Speaker 1: just getting to know him as best you can in

1133
01:01:05,480 --> 01:01:07,880
Speaker 1: our position over the last few years. He does things

1134
01:01:07,920 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: his way and he whether those on the outside agree

1135
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:13,800
Speaker 1: with it, they have their opinion. That's kind of how

1136
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 1: this thing works. He doesn't waver, and so I think

1137
01:01:17,200 --> 01:01:20,280
Speaker 1: you have to you have to back and and respect

1138
01:01:20,360 --> 01:01:24,560
Speaker 1: that aspect to it. But I tend to agree with

1139
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,040
Speaker 1: those that man, it's it's a ton of money that

1140
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,520
Speaker 1: you would imagine is being offered or you know, in

1141
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:34,000
Speaker 1: the ballpark, and coming off the year that he had

1142
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:37,520
Speaker 1: both health and performance wise, why you wouldn't want to

1143
01:01:37,520 --> 01:01:39,960
Speaker 1: try and lock that down before you head into this

1144
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,440
Speaker 1: pivotal year. Because the other thing, and the last thing

1145
01:01:42,440 --> 01:01:46,680
Speaker 1: I'll say on it is as much as we've seen quarterbacks,

1146
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: even if you're not necessarily proven to be great elite

1147
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: getting paid, we also now have evidence of a guy

1148
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:58,080
Speaker 1: like Baker Mayfield, who went from somebody who was probably

1149
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 1: in that conversation that Lamar is in right now of

1150
01:02:02,360 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 1: what he commanded and was maybe being even offered a

1151
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,600
Speaker 1: few years ago to where he is now, to me,

1152
01:02:07,800 --> 01:02:10,480
Speaker 1: would give me a lot of pause as a young quarterback,

1153
01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:14,320
Speaker 1: because what teams, how quickly they can shift from thinking,

1154
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: all right, let's pay this guy because we think we

1155
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: can do it with them too. Now let's move on

1156
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:20,440
Speaker 1: and let's try and find somebody that can compete with

1157
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: Josh and Patrick Mahomes. If I would make a nerve

1158
01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,080
Speaker 1: leading and you look back across history, even the Baltimore

1159
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 1: Ravens themselves, they've been through that. Joe Flacco won a

1160
01:02:27,680 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 1: Super Bowl against the forty nine ers in New Orleans

1161
01:02:31,360 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 1: on a year when he was betting on himself. He

1162
01:02:33,560 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: ended up being the highest paid quarterbacking league back then

1163
01:02:36,280 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: ten years ago it was twenty seven million dollars a year,

1164
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: and of course it's gone up exponentially, but he bet

1165
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: on himself and won. It has happened to other places

1166
01:02:44,600 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 1: as well. But you're right, it is difficult to walk

1167
01:02:48,720 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: that tight rope. But we had this conversation. You tip

1168
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 1: your hat to the Baltimore Ravens. They are all in

1169
01:02:57,600 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 1: and they are doing it different than thirty one other

1170
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: teams in the National Football League. They go heavy, they

1171
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: go big, They run the football all the time a lot,

1172
01:03:06,240 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: and ask the passing game to compliment the running game,

1173
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: not the running game to do the opposite. If Lamar

1174
01:03:17,240 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 1: is it a bit is less of a risk for

1175
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 1: Lamar to do it this way because he is that

1176
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 1: unicorn guy, and they can't do anything else at this point.

1177
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: They can't go into the state season and become something

1178
01:03:29,320 --> 01:03:32,240
Speaker 1: different if Lamar is not there. I agree with you,

1179
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: and I think from being there yesterday talking to folks

1180
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:40,000
Speaker 1: in and around that team, he had an offseason that

1181
01:03:40,160 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 1: stands out from his previous offseasons. We've seen the physical

1182
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:47,560
Speaker 1: transformation he's put on weight. He's working with Tom House

1183
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 1: and his group out in LA in terms of quarterback

1184
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: coaching to really dial in on you can tell. I

1185
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:56,959
Speaker 1: would say that he has a different mentality heading into

1186
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 1: this year, which makes sense based off of the disappointment

1187
01:03:59,880 --> 01:04:02,880
Speaker 1: of a season ago. So maybe he's looking at a

1188
01:04:03,000 --> 01:04:05,640
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco type situation. I know that's been presented as

1189
01:04:05,640 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: an idea. Now we'll say they've built the team and

1190
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:13,680
Speaker 1: you know, Lamar's in a different stratosphere, but like they

1191
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 1: have a backup there too, Tyler Huntley. That drew a

1192
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:19,000
Speaker 1: lot of attention too for being able to run that

1193
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: offense as well. The results weren't there, but I don't

1194
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:25,320
Speaker 1: pin all that on Tyler Huntley. So look, it's it's

1195
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,400
Speaker 1: a it's a fascinating situation. There is still a month

1196
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 1: of training camp or preseason, if you will, and I

1197
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,280
Speaker 1: think that is a lot of time where this could

1198
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,720
Speaker 1: get done. But it's definitely a wait and see, and

1199
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:41,160
Speaker 1: we're waiting seeing in the dark, which is rare in

1200
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:45,240
Speaker 1: this time and media where we seem to know what

1201
01:04:45,360 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: your study habits are, at least what a contract might

1202
01:04:47,920 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: dictate your study habits to be. Yeah, I mean something

1203
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: usually leaks, but maybe with the Ravens it just flat

1204
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: out doesn't. I mean, as you pointed out, it didn't

1205
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:58,360
Speaker 1: with Mark's Hollywood Brown until the eleventh hour, and who knows,

1206
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: maybe he signs an extension next week. At this time,

1207
01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:02,920
Speaker 1: I've really thought about it where it could happen. I mean,

1208
01:05:03,040 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 1: we're doing stuff yesterday and taping things because sometimes you're

1209
01:05:06,200 --> 01:05:08,480
Speaker 1: getting a day ahead in terms of content or coverage.

1210
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't Yeah, I could pop up at any moment, right.

1211
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:14,040
Speaker 1: The only thing is because you made me think about

1212
01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: this when you were talking about it. With all of

1213
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,840
Speaker 1: this time that he's invested in rounding his game into

1214
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,160
Speaker 1: a more complete skill set, whether it's being more accurate

1215
01:05:22,240 --> 01:05:25,000
Speaker 1: outside the numbers, where I mean as little as a

1216
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: year or so ago, teams would dare him to throw

1217
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:29,640
Speaker 1: outside the numbers because he wasn't as good as doing

1218
01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,040
Speaker 1: as he was throwing in between the numbers. Is he

1219
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: working on all these things to prove to the Ravens

1220
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: almost that he's a more valuable quarterback than maybe even

1221
01:05:37,320 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 1: they think he is. And he wants to show it

1222
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:41,200
Speaker 1: on the field, prove it blah blah blah, and then

1223
01:05:41,240 --> 01:05:43,160
Speaker 1: cash him with fifty million dollars by the time we

1224
01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 1: get to next offseason. It's a risk, yeah, but I

1225
01:05:45,960 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 1: wonder if he's even given that thought in light of

1226
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:50,880
Speaker 1: all that investment that's been talking about that he's done

1227
01:05:50,920 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: this office. I think it's all on the table. And

1228
01:05:53,280 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 1: the funny there's the front office, the financials of it,

1229
01:05:57,320 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 1: and then there's the coaching staff where they love that. Yeah,

1230
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:04,040
Speaker 1: I mean, be the best version you've ever been and

1231
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:05,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna be a different team. And I will say

1232
01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:10,560
Speaker 1: they've done things, most notably trying and attempting to fix

1233
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:13,720
Speaker 1: the offensive line, because as much as Lamar at times

1234
01:06:13,720 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 1: to your points struggle throwing outside the numbers, he was

1235
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:21,080
Speaker 1: seeing a version of defense and rush that he didn't

1236
01:06:21,120 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: see when Marshall Yonda was sitting in that stanley, he

1237
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:29,560
Speaker 1: was peeking around and he was having to, you know,

1238
01:06:29,800 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 1: try and find guys, and that was impacting his ability

1239
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: to do everything else. When um, we we're gonna probably

1240
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,439
Speaker 1: see an awful lot of you this season, right, I mean, yeah,

1241
01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,240
Speaker 1: it's looking like the Bills are going to be a

1242
01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: pretty top attraction for CBS as a network this year,

1243
01:06:45,800 --> 01:06:49,680
Speaker 1: So being the featured game is probably something we're gonna

1244
01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: hear a lot of for Buffalo, which means we'll probably

1245
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 1: see a good deal of you, right, Like that's the goal.

1246
01:06:54,160 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I mean, the way it I'm still learning year nine.

1247
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Steve can can speak to it. Maybe he figured

1248
01:06:59,680 --> 01:07:03,080
Speaker 1: it out for all his time there. How games and

1249
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: assignments and regional and markets go. But I usually play

1250
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: the game of okay at one o'clock, what's the best game,

1251
01:07:10,600 --> 01:07:13,440
Speaker 1: especially at a doubleheader window, because that's when Jim, Tony

1252
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:15,760
Speaker 1: and Tracy Will will hit that four twenty five game,

1253
01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,880
Speaker 1: and we'll hit that big one o'clock game. And for

1254
01:07:18,920 --> 01:07:21,760
Speaker 1: a number of years it was whenever New England wasn't

1255
01:07:21,800 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 1: in a four o'clock window, we'd be in New England

1256
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:27,240
Speaker 1: or we'd see him on the road. And I feel

1257
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,880
Speaker 1: like heading into this year now the FC West throws

1258
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: some wrinkles because there must see TV as well, But

1259
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: when the Bills are in that one o'clock window, it's

1260
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:39,600
Speaker 1: definitely it's on my radar. So I look at week three,

1261
01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 1: maybe week four in Baltimore, we can we can revisit

1262
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:49,959
Speaker 1: the Lamar conversation then, and I'm excited because the home

1263
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:53,520
Speaker 1: atmosphere is one um that that you just can't be

1264
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:56,240
Speaker 1: last one for me. Let's let's talk one thing about

1265
01:07:56,280 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 1: one other AFC team. The team that got to the

1266
01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:02,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowl last year's of you know, like lightning, bolt

1267
01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:05,680
Speaker 1: out of the blue, basically right, and Joe Burrow, who

1268
01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:08,840
Speaker 1: emerged onto the scene, carried that team behind a poor

1269
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:12,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, got through the playoffs, played great. What do

1270
01:08:12,400 --> 01:08:14,720
Speaker 1: you see from them? Can they keep it going? Because

1271
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,360
Speaker 1: notoriously they've been able to catch lightning in a bottle

1272
01:08:17,400 --> 01:08:20,160
Speaker 1: once in a while, and then they go, it goes

1273
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 1: away quickly. Do you see them being able to maintain

1274
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:24,600
Speaker 1: that that level of plays they did at the end

1275
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,720
Speaker 1: of the last Ye think it's for real, man, I

1276
01:08:26,760 --> 01:08:30,679
Speaker 1: really do. Again, you don't put too much into one visit.

1277
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow had his appendix removed a few weeks ago.

1278
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: He was actually he was the first day we was

1279
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:39,320
Speaker 1: actually touching a football. We were out there on Monday

1280
01:08:39,360 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: at practice. But just getting a look at and reminding

1281
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:48,080
Speaker 1: yourself that they have Jamar Chase te Higgins emerged as

1282
01:08:48,200 --> 01:08:53,240
Speaker 1: a real quality, you know, one on most teams. Tyler

1283
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,160
Speaker 1: Bloyd is effective. Hayden Hurst I think adds an ice

1284
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: layer at that tight end position. You mentioned the line.

1285
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 1: They fixed it, man, I mean at least on paper.

1286
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:07,439
Speaker 1: I mean they bring in Ted Carriss at that center position,

1287
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:11,479
Speaker 1: Alex Kappa from Tampa. They get Lyle Collins late after

1288
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:13,800
Speaker 1: they released him. I mean, so that's the whole side

1289
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:18,479
Speaker 1: of the line just seemingly covered up, and the defense

1290
01:09:18,800 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: was as big a part of the story down the

1291
01:09:21,360 --> 01:09:24,439
Speaker 1: stretch and they bring everybody back. So it reminds me

1292
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,240
Speaker 1: in a lot of ways the discussion around Buffalo a

1293
01:09:27,320 --> 01:09:29,519
Speaker 1: year ago, where they have the continuity, and then they

1294
01:09:29,560 --> 01:09:33,880
Speaker 1: make a couple key additions and maybe patch patch up

1295
01:09:33,880 --> 01:09:36,599
Speaker 1: an area here or there. I think, I mean right now,

1296
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,880
Speaker 1: I have since he is as the class of that

1297
01:09:38,960 --> 01:09:45,040
Speaker 1: division until proven otherwise by either Baltimore or Pittsburgh, and

1298
01:09:45,080 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: then obviously Cleveland is kind of the biggest mystery of

1299
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,280
Speaker 1: all right. Yeah, well, we appreciate the time, glad to

1300
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 1: stop by here while you were here at Pill's training camp.

1301
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll see you down the road an awful

1302
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:58,120
Speaker 1: lot if what we believe will happen happens for you

1303
01:09:58,160 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: guys over at CBS that we look forward to se

1304
01:10:00,040 --> 01:10:02,280

Speaker 1: to you. Thank It's always fun to be with you guys.

1306
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 1: All right, that's CB NFL on CBS sideline reporter Evan

1307
01:10:07,080 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: Washburn joining us here. Steve and I take a break.

1308
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 1: But when we come back little NFL true false for

1309
01:10:12,240 --> 01:10:28,960
Speaker 1: you stay two. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1310
01:10:29,040 --> 01:10:32,880
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you and one guy that

1311
01:10:32,920 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: has been getting an awful lot of reps in the

1312
01:10:34,920 --> 01:10:37,519
Speaker 1: absence of Jordan Poyer, who remains out with a hyper

1313
01:10:37,560 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 1: extended elbow, is fourth year safety Jaquan Johnson. Jaquan addressed

1314
01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:47,720
Speaker 1: the media after practice today. Want to bring some of

1315
01:10:47,760 --> 01:10:52,519
Speaker 1: his comments to you. So here is Jaquan Johnson joy

1316
01:10:52,560 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 1: getting all these additional reps because I've enjoyed it, you know,

1317
01:10:58,120 --> 01:11:02,320
Speaker 1: taking advantage of my opportunities, just communicating the defense and

1318
01:11:02,439 --> 01:11:04,880
Speaker 1: uh moving well with the one. So it's been good

1319
01:11:04,920 --> 01:11:08,320
Speaker 1: for me too. Yeah, it's less of about it today

1320
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,639
Speaker 1: about this fourth year, and it's got to be hurt

1321
01:11:10,720 --> 01:11:13,160
Speaker 1: for you to have never really gotten that chance to

1322
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: play defense. However you've been able to, you know, kind

1323
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,200
Speaker 1: of persevere and he's gotta keep pushing forward. But pretty

1324
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: much just doing my job, you know, every day playing

1325
01:11:21,240 --> 01:11:23,400
Speaker 1: my role. I've been a fourth phase guy since my

1326
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: rookie year. That's what I've been doing. And while I've

1327
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,679
Speaker 1: been doing that, I've been learning the defense, uh, talking

1328
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: to the older guys, making sure that when I do

1329
01:11:30,880 --> 01:11:33,000
Speaker 1: go out there, we don't I don't miss a beat.

1330
01:11:33,080 --> 01:11:35,160
Speaker 1: So that's basically what I've been doing for the last

1331
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:39,600
Speaker 1: four years and taking advantage of whatever opportunity I'm giving you.

1332
01:11:39,680 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean, all your wife, you've been the guy right

1333
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:44,439
Speaker 1: to come here and be the backup who can't get

1334
01:11:44,439 --> 01:11:47,400
Speaker 1: the editors. There's two a program Pro Bowl Safeties. Right.

1335
01:11:47,840 --> 01:11:50,840
Speaker 1: Not frustrating at all because uh, I know eventually I'm

1336
01:11:50,840 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 1: gonna get my opportunity, and when I do, I make

1337
01:11:53,479 --> 01:11:56,160
Speaker 1: the most of it every time. So it's not frustrating.

1338
01:11:56,240 --> 01:11:59,479
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm absorbing everything like a sponge, and uh,

1339
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,639
Speaker 1: whenever I get that chance, I'll be ready. That's being um.

1340
01:12:02,680 --> 01:12:05,519
Speaker 1: You know behind to our pro sinkis helped you bet.

1341
01:12:06,800 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: I's been great. You know, those those two guys are best,

1342
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: uh in the league. I think so just learning off

1343
01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:15,400
Speaker 1: of them every day, how how their routines are, how

1344
01:12:15,479 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 1: professional they are. I've taken that and put it in

1345
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,439
Speaker 1: my regiment, and uh, I feel like when it's my time,

1346
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: I'll be ready for sure. I mean bringing in a

1347
01:12:34,760 --> 01:12:37,439
Speaker 1: guy like vun we'll be able to quarterbacks I have

1348
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,280
Speaker 1: to speed up the process. Or anytime a quarterback do

1349
01:12:40,360 --> 01:12:42,800
Speaker 1: that what we do on the back end, disguise and

1350
01:12:42,880 --> 01:12:54,000
Speaker 1: playing tight coverage, it'll be amazing for us. It's been great.

1351
01:12:54,000 --> 01:12:55,559
Speaker 1: I mean, you know those guys, they look for me

1352
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: whenever we get motions to make the checks and do

1353
01:12:59,040 --> 01:13:02,280
Speaker 1: things of that nature. I've been taking that challenge a

1354
01:13:02,479 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 1: full full force with my head high. So I think

1355
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 1: the guys that are responding well to me being back there,

1356
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,799
Speaker 1: and uh, I don't think we're missing a beat. For years,

1357
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: always a strong safety that speaking out like that, right,

1358
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,639
Speaker 1: I mean definitely. Well, you know Poe, he he's always

1359
01:13:25,680 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: been like strong safety considering, like making the checks and

1360
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:32,519
Speaker 1: being in the box of that nature. So when Poe's

1361
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 1: not here, that's why I'm at. But when Mike is out,

1362
01:13:34,720 --> 01:13:36,920
Speaker 1: I have to play both sides. So I mean I

1363
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:39,679
Speaker 1: have to know everything in the playbook. With four years,

1364
01:13:39,720 --> 01:13:42,000
Speaker 1: I've gave me the ability to learn, So I think

1365
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:57,960
Speaker 1: it's a beneficial for me. Yeah, of course, everything is

1366
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 1: all about attitude. Patients, you can't really do anything, you know,

1367
01:14:02,160 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 1: but control your attitudes or effort. Whenever you get that

1368
01:14:05,120 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: opportunity to make the play, you make the most of it.

1369
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:09,360
Speaker 1: But don't go out there forcing anything. Don't go out

1370
01:14:09,400 --> 01:14:12,880
Speaker 1: there forcing anything. And uh, do your job. I said,

1371
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:14,760
Speaker 1: that's all they look for me to do. Do my job. Man,

1372
01:14:14,840 --> 01:14:25,360
Speaker 1: If I do that, I'm fine. Oh yeah, Jimmy's it's great. Uh.

1373
01:14:25,360 --> 01:14:29,200
Speaker 1: He knows the whole defense, the safeties, the four younger safeties,

1374
01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:34,120
Speaker 1: me myself, j T. Damar and Nick. We all meet

1375
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:36,000
Speaker 1: with them early in the morning go over the plays.

1376
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,280
Speaker 1: Uh that we didn't get the seat from meetings. So

1377
01:14:38,320 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think Jimmy's doing a great job. And

1378
01:14:40,439 --> 01:14:43,760
Speaker 1: even coach McDermott chipping in whenever he sees something. So

1379
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:52,240
Speaker 1: everything's going well. Like what you mean, just like they

1380
01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, definitely, those guys are real detailed with their work.

1381
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:08,160
Speaker 1: So I say that's the biggest thing, like being detail oriented,

1382
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:11,280
Speaker 1: not making mistakes when I have to make the check,

1383
01:15:11,320 --> 01:15:13,799
Speaker 1: I make the check, being in my right spot, stuff

1384
01:15:13,840 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: like that. Send them do the little things, because when

1385
01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:18,200
Speaker 1: do the little things, that's when you make the big

1386
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:25,880
Speaker 1: things happen exact It's like, what is that? I mean,

1387
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,800
Speaker 1: you know, a person to protect is uh pretty much

1388
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,840
Speaker 1: like the center of an offense. So I have to

1389
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: make sure that everyone's uh blocking the right man uh,

1390
01:15:36,280 --> 01:15:38,320
Speaker 1: making sure I make the right sex to get the

1391
01:15:38,320 --> 01:15:41,439
Speaker 1: center to go the right way, and if anything happened,

1392
01:15:41,439 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 1: I have to be able to make adjustments on the fly.

1393
01:15:43,720 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: So I mean pretty much I'm the livest line of

1394
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,639
Speaker 1: defense once they passed me as a block point. So

1395
01:15:49,600 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: that's basically what's that's like It's like last year on

1396
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:54,400
Speaker 1: the game heads a block point. Did you see teams

1397
01:15:54,400 --> 01:15:56,800
Speaker 1: trying to do different things against you guys because of that,

1398
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,280
Speaker 1: because the responses react. Definitely, we have a lot of

1399
01:16:00,280 --> 01:16:04,240
Speaker 1: teams try the same Russia that Distillers did. Uh wasn't

1400
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: successful for the other teams. Distillers they got one on us.

1401
01:16:08,400 --> 01:16:11,559
Speaker 1: This year'd be totally different. We're ready putting those type

1402
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:14,599
Speaker 1: of Russes and UH practices and UH we're getting used

1403
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:23,960
Speaker 1: to those already. Just going my job. I'm not forcing anything.

1404
01:16:24,040 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: I want to go out to have perfect communication. When

1405
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,280
Speaker 1: a players got to be made, I make the play.

1406
01:16:30,720 --> 01:16:34,160
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. Preseason gangs are gonna be amazing

1407
01:16:34,200 --> 01:16:38,439
Speaker 1: for us, all right. That's Jakan Johnson addressing the media

1408
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: after practice today and is certainly loving all the extra

1409
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:45,920
Speaker 1: reps he's getting on the defensive side of the ball.

1410
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 1: With Jordan Poyer still sideline with that hyper extended elbow.

1411
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:54,080
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier was telling us today that yes, it can

1412
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:56,400
Speaker 1: be tough for a player who's entering his fourth season

1413
01:16:56,439 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: and believes he's good enough to play on defense in

1414
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,479
Speaker 1: this league to have to weight is turn that long.

1415
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:05,120
Speaker 1: It's a long time to wait, like you think about

1416
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:08,639
Speaker 1: other guys from his draft class. I mean you're talking

1417
01:17:08,760 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox. I mean, he's been on the offense on

1418
01:17:11,760 --> 01:17:14,679
Speaker 1: the field for the better part of almost three full seasons,

1419
01:17:15,400 --> 01:17:18,639
Speaker 1: and here's Jaquan still waiting, you know. I mean he's

1420
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: had a couple of games played on defense here and there.

1421
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:23,960
Speaker 1: But man, that's a long time to wait. Easier to

1422
01:17:24,040 --> 01:17:26,519
Speaker 1: wait though, when the guy's ahead of year playing so

1423
01:17:26,560 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: well and the game is and the team is playing

1424
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:32,839
Speaker 1: so well. But yeah, sooner or later you want your chance.

1425
01:17:33,640 --> 01:17:35,760
Speaker 1: But even you know, if you've got a sense of

1426
01:17:35,800 --> 01:17:38,120
Speaker 1: self awareness, any sense of self awareness, and you know

1427
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,600
Speaker 1: why you're not playing, and they are, what are you

1428
01:17:41,600 --> 01:17:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna do? Well? I'm just thinking that an NFL career

1429
01:17:44,439 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 1: is only so long. I get it. I mean, the

1430
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 1: average NFL career is three and a half years. He's

1431
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:54,519
Speaker 1: in year four now. Because he hasn't played. He's probably

1432
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,759
Speaker 1: not going to cash in big time on a second

1433
01:17:56,800 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 1: contract because he hasn't been able to prove it on

1434
01:17:59,240 --> 01:18:02,799
Speaker 1: the field, So he's already behind in terms of career earnings.

1435
01:18:02,800 --> 01:18:04,559
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I know exactly what you're saying.

1436
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,439
Speaker 1: You can't. You don't hit a financial home run now.

1437
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:09,280
Speaker 1: Certainly though, if he plays the way he has played,

1438
01:18:09,320 --> 01:18:11,559
Speaker 1: he's going to get a chance to play somewhere, particularly

1439
01:18:11,560 --> 01:18:14,200
Speaker 1: if he becomes a free agent. Yea. And the way

1440
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: that the club he's played when he's got in there,

1441
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:18,679
Speaker 1: the way the things that the club has said about him,

1442
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:20,760
Speaker 1: and when he does go to a place, he's going

1443
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:22,639
Speaker 1: to sign a deal that's going to be a life

1444
01:18:22,720 --> 01:18:24,479
Speaker 1: changer for him. If he does have to leave the

1445
01:18:24,479 --> 01:18:27,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. If he doesn't have to leave the Buffalo Bills,

1446
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:28,519
Speaker 1: he's gonna step into it and he's gonna make the

1447
01:18:28,520 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: money if the Bills want, you know, the role of

1448
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:35,720
Speaker 1: the Bills have. He's he's in line. Like I've always said,

1449
01:18:35,840 --> 01:18:37,840
Speaker 1: and it used to be, it's true, even now that

1450
01:18:37,960 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 1: it wasn't my day, the true you know, the holy

1451
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:48,240
Speaker 1: grail of an NFL career is longevity. For players, that's

1452
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,960
Speaker 1: the that's the holy grail. The longer you play, the

1453
01:18:51,040 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 1: better it is. So having him get it off to

1454
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,439
Speaker 1: a slow start because of the great guys in front

1455
01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,720
Speaker 1: of him, if he handles that correctly, when he does

1456
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 1: get his chance, you know, he'll shine and it'll all

1457
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:04,599
Speaker 1: come out great in the end for him. Fair enough,

1458
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: we'll see how it pans. You're faith and that's hard

1459
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:11,559
Speaker 1: to do, especially when you see people around you're making

1460
01:19:11,560 --> 01:19:12,960
Speaker 1: a whole lot more money than you that we're in

1461
01:19:13,040 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: your draft class or or otherwise. We turn now to

1462
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:20,439
Speaker 1: a little NFL True Falls where we're proud to have

1463
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 1: a new sponsor for NFL True Falls. It's presented by

1464
01:19:23,680 --> 01:19:27,960
Speaker 1: Patron Tequila, the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills A

1465
01:19:28,080 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 1: Rebus Steve ariba Um. Can you roll your arts? Can

1466
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:38,160
Speaker 1: you do that? We'll work on in any event. Anyway,

1467
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:42,680
Speaker 1: I like NFL True Falls Number one. The Raiders are

1468
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:46,880
Speaker 1: a dark horse to win the AFC West this season.

1469
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:51,519
Speaker 1: We know it's a stack division. What say you? Yeah,

1470
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:53,120
Speaker 1: I think they're the dark horse. The Chief's gotta be

1471
01:19:53,160 --> 01:19:56,519
Speaker 1: the favorite, but I think and the Chargers are, you know,

1472
01:19:56,600 --> 01:20:00,400
Speaker 1: the flavor of the month with Justin Herbert U. But

1473
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,040
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can call him the dark

1474
01:20:02,080 --> 01:20:07,120
Speaker 1: horse because of the Devantee Adams trade. Um. But yes,

1475
01:20:07,200 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 1: I would say they are a dark horse because I

1476
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,000
Speaker 1: think he'd still put the Chiefs and the Chargers ahead

1477
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: of them with particularly with the Khalil Mack going to

1478
01:20:15,400 --> 01:20:20,679
Speaker 1: the Chargers. The Chargers roster, Yeah, they got some guys.

1479
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,559
Speaker 1: So I'm thinking that the Chargers would be the team

1480
01:20:24,160 --> 01:20:27,320
Speaker 1: most AFC West observers would say, Yeah, that's the team's

1481
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna maybe give the Chiefs a run for it. If

1482
01:20:29,960 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna be if you're picking getting picked to get

1483
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:35,760
Speaker 1: third in that division, DeVante Adams are not. Yeah, and

1484
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:37,960
Speaker 1: I like the Raiders. I think Derek Carr is a

1485
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 1: good leader and he's got the ability, So yeah, that's

1486
01:20:41,600 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 1: I would say true. So you got him as your

1487
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: third place team in that division, just ballparking him, you

1488
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,120
Speaker 1: have him ahead of the Broncos. Yeah, because I think

1489
01:20:49,720 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 1: with Nathaniel Hackett taken over his head coach, brand new

1490
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:59,080
Speaker 1: head coach um, even though Josh McDaniel is a coach

1491
01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 1: with the Raiders too, I just think Denver and I

1492
01:21:03,280 --> 01:21:06,880
Speaker 1: think for mest it's no small thing. They just got

1493
01:21:06,960 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 1: sold there. There's new ownership in the building. We'll have

1494
01:21:09,800 --> 01:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to see how that transpires. But the Broncos have been

1495
01:21:16,120 --> 01:21:18,719
Speaker 1: fighting to hold that window open in hopes of getting

1496
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:22,559
Speaker 1: a quarterback for so long. Now Von Miller's not there.

1497
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 1: I just you know, I just think they're a little stale.

1498
01:21:26,880 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: You know. It's not that I'm tired of thinking I'm

1499
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:31,599
Speaker 1: waiting on them. I just I just don't think they're

1500
01:21:31,680 --> 01:21:34,479
Speaker 1: They've got a roster that would support even a good

1501
01:21:34,560 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 1: quarterback or certainly in that division. I think Russell Wilson

1502
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,639
Speaker 1: helps him, no question about it. But he's not gonna

1503
01:21:42,680 --> 01:21:45,160
Speaker 1: put him past Pat Mahomes and that and Andy Reid.

1504
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: He's not gonna put him past Justin Herbert and that

1505
01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: roster in San Diego. And I like the Raiders. They

1506
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,280
Speaker 1: play hard, They've got a great attitude out there. Josh

1507
01:21:57,400 --> 01:21:59,720
Speaker 1: McDaniels is going to bring something to them that I

1508
01:21:59,720 --> 01:22:02,240
Speaker 1: don't think they've had for a while. We'll see if

1509
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:06,360
Speaker 1: what kind of leader McDaniels is. But if you want

1510
01:22:06,400 --> 01:22:09,400
Speaker 1: me to pick one or the other, yeah, I'm picking.

1511
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:11,720
Speaker 1: I'm picking the Raiders over the Broncos. And as a

1512
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,599
Speaker 1: dark horse in that division, those are the only two

1513
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:15,800
Speaker 1: I would say true as a dark horse in the

1514
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:18,479
Speaker 1: division for the Raiders, but it wouldn't shock me if

1515
01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 1: they're in the basement. The Broncos are a well rounded offense.

1516
01:22:22,400 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: I mean Javonte Williams and Melvin Gordon in the backfield

1517
01:22:25,720 --> 01:22:30,800
Speaker 1: and then Courtland Sutton, Jerry Judy, kJ Hamler. I mean,

1518
01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:33,679
Speaker 1: even though they lost Tim Patrick, they got some talent

1519
01:22:33,720 --> 01:22:36,439
Speaker 1: there and they got that draft pick Greg Dulsich at

1520
01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,160
Speaker 1: tight end replacing no offense. That is a group for

1521
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:43,920
Speaker 1: Russell Wilson to work with. And I mean, is their

1522
01:22:43,960 --> 01:22:46,280
Speaker 1: defense going to be up to snuff playing a scheme

1523
01:22:46,320 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: that's different from that of former head coach Vic Fangio.

1524
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:51,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, but man, they're gonna be able to

1525
01:22:51,680 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: keep up with people with that offensive crew for sure.

1526
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:58,040
Speaker 1: So Raiders could be a last place team. So either way,

1527
01:22:58,120 --> 01:22:59,720
Speaker 1: whether they're third or or fourth, I think there's still

1528
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:01,599
Speaker 1: a our course to win the AFC West, all right,

1529
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:05,280
Speaker 1: NFL true false Number two, Baker Mayfield will lose the

1530
01:23:05,400 --> 01:23:10,240
Speaker 1: Panthers starting quarterback job to Sam Darnold. That's false. Oh

1531
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:13,800
Speaker 1: my god, is it false? Baker Mayfield are gonna lose.

1532
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:17,160
Speaker 1: I mean, we're we're not allowed to do any wagers

1533
01:23:17,240 --> 01:23:20,160
Speaker 1: of any kind as NFL employees, But my god, if

1534
01:23:20,240 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: I wasn't an NFL employee, the what I would do

1535
01:23:23,320 --> 01:23:27,200
Speaker 1: to put my faith behind Baker Mayfield to win that job.

1536
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:29,760
Speaker 1: I mean, we've we've talked to some people around the league,

1537
01:23:29,800 --> 01:23:32,160
Speaker 1: and we have it on pretty good authority that Sam

1538
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Donald really has a problem retaining information. I don't know

1539
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,000
Speaker 1: how you can be a successful quarterback in this league.

1540
01:23:38,000 --> 01:23:40,760
Speaker 1: If you can't do that, you can't be That's why

1541
01:23:40,960 --> 01:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Bay floundering. Yes, that's why he struggles. He doesn't remember

1542
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:48,840
Speaker 1: things from one play to the next. He's uh yeah.

1543
01:23:49,120 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield is going to start games for the Carolina Panthers.

1544
01:23:52,040 --> 01:23:53,640
Speaker 1: Will get an idea of how that goes. If it

1545
01:23:53,720 --> 01:23:56,640
Speaker 1: doesn't go I'll say this, Um, if it doesn't go

1546
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,800
Speaker 1: well for Baker Mayfield this year, depending not even to

1547
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:01,479
Speaker 1: any on how it looks. If it doesn't go well,

1548
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 1: if they can't win games and start to get on

1549
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: the on the rise, you know, Matt Rule is not

1550
01:24:06,840 --> 01:24:09,320
Speaker 1: going to be there. Oh, this is put up or

1551
01:24:09,320 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 1: shut up year for him. I mean, Dave Tepper is

1552
01:24:11,360 --> 01:24:13,280
Speaker 1: not going to hang around and wait for another year

1553
01:24:13,320 --> 01:24:15,439
Speaker 1: if Matt Rule, that's right, it's put up or shut

1554
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:18,599
Speaker 1: up for him. NFL true false Number three. Lamar Jackson

1555
01:24:18,720 --> 01:24:21,439
Speaker 1: is the NFL player with the most at stake in

1556
01:24:21,520 --> 01:24:23,760
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. We were kind of having this conversation

1557
01:24:23,840 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: already with Evan Washburn. Let me think, let me just

1558
01:24:27,479 --> 01:24:31,480
Speaker 1: do a quick the most, just do a quick runaround

1559
01:24:31,520 --> 01:24:32,960
Speaker 1: and look at all the teams to make sure I'm

1560
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:36,320
Speaker 1: not forgetting anybody. I mean, you'd have to find somebody

1561
01:24:36,400 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: in the final year of a contract, maybe with an

1562
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: injury history or a lot to lose in the form

1563
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 1: of a new contract. I'm gonna say, it's hard to

1564
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: come up with anybody. I mean, you what do you?

1565
01:24:49,400 --> 01:24:52,679
Speaker 1: I mean, are we talking other positions like Jesse Danny Team,

1566
01:24:52,960 --> 01:24:56,080
Speaker 1: you know, who's maybe a holdout for the Bengals because

1567
01:24:56,120 --> 01:24:57,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't want to play on the franchise tag and

1568
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: that's tag. He's yeah, and he's still making money. Well

1569
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,679
Speaker 1: so is Lamar. Lamar is still making money, but second

1570
01:25:03,720 --> 01:25:07,800
Speaker 1: contract money isn't there yet. So I don't know. Yeah,

1571
01:25:07,800 --> 01:25:09,320
Speaker 1: I don't. I can't think there. I can't think of

1572
01:25:09,400 --> 01:25:15,519
Speaker 1: anybody who's who's under the mor um. I would say, yeah,

1573
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 1: because it's such a huge contract. There are other players

1574
01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,280
Speaker 1: in that position that are going to play out there,

1575
01:25:20,600 --> 01:25:23,519
Speaker 1: like Tremaine Edmonds here in Buffalo. There are guys like that.

1576
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:27,640
Speaker 1: But you're talking about a quarterback contract, right million a

1577
01:25:27,720 --> 01:25:31,560
Speaker 1: year exactly. You're talking about a multi year. So I

1578
01:25:31,600 --> 01:25:34,439
Speaker 1: don't think there is anybody that's that's got more staking

1579
01:25:34,560 --> 01:25:36,760
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson does this season. I can't think of a

1580
01:25:36,840 --> 01:25:42,840
Speaker 1: single person. Maybe maybe Tua, you know what I mean, right,

1581
01:25:43,320 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 1: But even he's not in that same conversation because he's

1582
01:25:46,439 --> 01:25:50,160
Speaker 1: got another year. Well maybe not in Miami if he

1583
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,679
Speaker 1: stinks out the joint, but yeah, another year on his contract.

1584
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:57,519
Speaker 1: Yeah he's got he's a year behind Lamar, So yeah,

1585
01:25:57,680 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: I think Lamar is he's got two years behind Lamar.

1586
01:26:02,120 --> 01:26:04,559
Speaker 1: He was the twenty class, Lamar was the eighteen class.

1587
01:26:05,000 --> 01:26:08,760
Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, there's too much at stake, and he's

1588
01:26:08,760 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 1: got an injury history which makes it even scarier if

1589
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:13,479
Speaker 1: I was in the Lamar Jackson camp. All right, that

1590
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:18,400
