1
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Calledlida Health.

2
00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 2: Welcome in to.

3
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 3: One Bill's Live. Everybody, Matty Glab alongside of Steve Tasker's

4
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:43,480
Speaker 3: steering the ship for the next two hours. We've got

5
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 3: some news out of One Bill's Drive this morning.

6
00:00:45,720 --> 00:00:46,400
Speaker 2: The rookies.

7
00:00:46,760 --> 00:00:52,200
Speaker 3: Several rookies have signed their contracts. That leaves just one

8
00:00:52,280 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 3: rookie who has not signed yet. That is wide receiver

9
00:00:55,280 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 3: Kean Coleman, Buffalo's second round pick. But Bishop Ray Davis,

10
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 3: Dwayne Carter, and several other rookies have put pen to

11
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: paper on their rookie contracts. Makes sense that this happens

12
00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 3: post June one, after the Tredevious White designation, clearing up

13
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 3: some more cap space for Buffalo to.

14
00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 2: Make some moves.

15
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: That means signing several of their rookies nine total have signed.

16
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,240
Speaker 3: One is left. Travis Clayton signed earlier in the off

17
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 3: season during a rookie mini camp, and Kean Coleman is

18
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 3: the one player yet to have signed his rookie deal.

19
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 3: I would imagine that is coming soon as we approach

20
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 3: mandatory mini camp and training camp beginning late July. The

21
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 3: Bills also have signed a UDFA linebacker Shane Seineman is

22
00:01:53,520 --> 00:01:56,480
Speaker 3: now a part of the Bill's roster. He played at

23
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: Notre Dame and Pittsburgh for a couple of seasons. They

24
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 3: have designated offensive lineman Tommy Doyle as waived slash injured.

25
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 3: Simon participated in the Bills rookie mini camp as a

26
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 3: tryout player. He played for Notre Dame from twenty eighteen

27
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 3: to twenty twenty one, played in thirty two came thirty

28
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,639
Speaker 3: two games there, had five pass breakups twenty seven tackles.

29
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 3: Then transferred to Pittsburgh where he finished the rest of

30
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 3: his collegiate career. So a couple news and notes around

31
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 3: one Bill's Drive this afternoon as the players were back

32
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 3: out on the field for OTAs again with mandatory mini

33
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 3: camp beginning next week.

34
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, I asked. I talked to Derek Boyco, the media

35
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: relations director, and he was spreading it around. The reason

36
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: they signed the linebacker Shane Simon was because it's precautionary,

37
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: because they got some guys that are sore or tweaked,

38
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,600
Speaker 1: you know, pull muscle, whatever it is. I mean, like

39
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:55,399
Speaker 1: Dorian Williams, ed Ulifotio, Nick Morrow, and of course Matt

40
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,840
Speaker 1: Malano hasn't practiced all but those four guys aren't even

41
00:02:57,919 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: practicing today.

42
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 2: Gotta have bodies out there.

43
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 1: They need some guys. So Shane Simon gets signed so

44
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: they can go out and practice and do the reps

45
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: that they want to do. It begs the obvious question,

46
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 1: you know, so they just got this guy for practice.

47
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:17,920
Speaker 1: Let me tell you some Shane Simon at beast not

48
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,680
Speaker 1: being the guy they didn't sign. Right, So Shane Simon

49
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,800
Speaker 1: gets a day to be a bill, whether it's lasts

50
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,960
Speaker 1: today or whether Shane the guy goes, oh, I kind

51
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 1: of liked him. He did, he did some good stuff.

52
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: Let's keep him around another day. And that's kind of

53
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 1: how it starts. Yeah, you want to be one of

54
00:03:31,760 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: those guys, because it also tells Shane Simon where he

55
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: lands on the pecking order. Now, they they remember they

56
00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 1: already signed Joe Andreson uh from U B and and

57
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840
Speaker 1: so they that's the one guy they signed for Rookiemunic CAMPI.

58
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:48,560
Speaker 1: Shane Simon's the next guy on the list. He's got

59
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:50,920
Speaker 1: to know that now because they came to him saying,

60
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: we need you for a day and and and believe me,

61
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: guys are all too happy to come in and say yeah,

62
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I'm in, I'll do it. Uh. That's the way it works.

63
00:03:58,920 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: So you know, off and running even now. And I

64
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: was also having this conversation Mattie, I told you back

65
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 1: in the last century when I played the year before

66
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: I came in the league, you can you could have

67
00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: as many guys in training camp as you wanted. So

68
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,560
Speaker 1: teams had well over one hundred players.

69
00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:14,880
Speaker 4: Wow.

70
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: And then the league said, wait, hole, ho ho hold them.

71
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: So they went down to like eighty five for a

72
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,560
Speaker 1: for a while, and then they went back up to

73
00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: ninety for training camp, which is where it is now.

74
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,640
Speaker 1: And it's you can bet maybe with the new CBA,

75
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: maybe with the eighteen game schedule, maybe with all this

76
00:04:32,600 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 1: stuff that they're tinkering with in the CBA, they'll say,

77
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: you know what, you can now bring ninety five guys

78
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 1: to training camp or whatever just for things like this

79
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: so they can have a Shane Simon on standby when

80
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,559
Speaker 1: they need him. That's that's where they're at right now,

81
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and it's going to continue. It's continued, and people you

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: kind of were unaware of it because it's you know,

83
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,840
Speaker 1: it's not even Newsworth anymore. Guys are constantly coming in

84
00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:58,640
Speaker 1: and out of this building, and it's just one of

85
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: thirty two buildings, right. Guys are constantly coming in and out,

86
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,920
Speaker 1: getting a chance, coming in on a Tuesday to workout,

87
00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:06,279
Speaker 1: getting signed for a minute, being here for like ten

88
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,800
Speaker 1: or fifteen or twelve days, then somebody else gets hurt

89
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 1: at a different position. Now you're out again. It's a

90
00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: it's a long journey to make an NFL roster for

91
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:16,880
Speaker 1: a lot of guys.

92
00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how this building has always been since Sean

93
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 3: McDermot and Brandon Bean walked.

94
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:21,359
Speaker 2: Through the doors.

95
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:25,839
Speaker 3: Is especially during the offseason, they are constantly tinkering with

96
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:31,520
Speaker 3: the roster, adding guys, releasing guys because of that competition aspect.

97
00:05:31,560 --> 00:05:35,279
Speaker 3: They want to have competition across every single position group.

98
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,840
Speaker 3: So if they believe a guy is not adding to that,

99
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 3: then he may be released. If they believe there's a

100
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 3: guy that's available out there that can add to the competition,

101
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 3: they will bring him in. They are trying to get

102
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,000
Speaker 3: the best out of every single player on this roster

103
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:55,159
Speaker 3: so that when it comes time to cut down to

104
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 3: fifty three, they believe they have the best fifty three

105
00:05:58,440 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 3: that's ready for.

106
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:02,599
Speaker 1: We And you can look at this too, that the

107
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:05,040
Speaker 1: club can Brandon Bean when he talks to the agents

108
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,359
Speaker 1: for these guys, he can just go back and say, listen,

109
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,080
Speaker 1: we had we got We've got a sixth rounder that

110
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:14,920
Speaker 1: was our opening day starter over a first rounder, Christian Benford.

111
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: We had Bob Foster who was an undrafted rookie free

112
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 1: agent come in and play valuable minutes for US for

113
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:23,479
Speaker 1: like three years. For two years he was here. Levi

114
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 1: Wallace was an undrafted rookie who started for US for

115
00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 1: four straight years. If you come in and play, we

116
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: don't care, you're gonna get a chance. That's a and

117
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: that part of the culture here. It gets around and

118
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 1: it really is, and it's testament to the truth that

119
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: these guys have guys on their roster and in their

120
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,640
Speaker 1: recent past who have come in just like Shane Simon

121
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: is coming in this week and it's like, this guy's

122
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,080
Speaker 1: pretty good, Let's give him a little more. And the wow,

123
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:54,920
Speaker 1: he's still pretty good, Let's give him a little more.

124
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,679
Speaker 1: It's like, you know what, get the guy on the field.

125
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: That happens, and and so brand being Sean McDermott, they

126
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 1: really do they put their roster where their mouth is.

127
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: They if you want to come in and sign for us,

128
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna give you a chance. They've proven it time

129
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: and time again. So that's why guys like Shane Simon, Yeah,

130
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: give me the chance.

131
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 3: Players pay attention to to the rosters across the NFL.

132
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: Is their potential opening for me? Is there an opportunity

133
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 3: for me at this team with this position?

134
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: Do I like this position? Coach?

135
00:07:31,200 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 3: That's why Chase Claypool when we heard from him, that's

136
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,600
Speaker 3: why he said the Bills were a really enticing team

137
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 3: to talk to because of the opportunities that live within

138
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 3: the wide receiver room. So many guys leaving and a

139
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 3: lot of new players coming in. He saw that as

140
00:07:48,600 --> 00:07:52,880
Speaker 3: a clean slate for himself and several other players that

141
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 3: now make up that wide receiver room. So guys who

142
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,840
Speaker 3: are getting added to the roster, guys who have been

143
00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 3: added to the roster this offseason, it's not just hey,

144
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 3: I'm interested in you. Then that player comes right over.

145
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 3: They're talking to other teams. They're seeing what team is

146
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,440
Speaker 3: gonna give me that best shot at making the fifty three,

147
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: at playing in games this season. So maybe that's why

148
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 3: Shane Simon says, Okay, hey, I'm down to join the

149
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 3: Bill's roster for however long that may be. We've got

150
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 3: a packed show this afternoon for you guys. We heard

151
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:34,480
Speaker 3: from defensive coordinator Bobby Babbage earlier this afternoon, so we

152
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 3: will run some of that press conference in just a

153
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: little bit. We've got a topic for you today, what

154
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 3: will define the Bills defensively in twenty twenty four. I

155
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 3: think it's a question that could have a lot of

156
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 3: viable answers to it. If you want to answer our topic,

157
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 3: you can give us a call at AIGHTO three five

158
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,679
Speaker 3: point fifty whenever you would like during the show, and

159
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 3: we will also be reading off of the tweet sheet

160
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 3: later on.

161
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 2: There was some big.

162
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 3: News yesterday, Steve with the Justin Jefferson deal. Since I

163
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: wasn't on the show yesterday, I wanted to get your

164
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 3: opinion on the type of money that top tier wide

165
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 3: receivers are making. Justin Jefferson sign a mega deal yesterday

166
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:27,319
Speaker 3: that changes the game for top tier wideouts four years,

167
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and four million dollar contract extension worth one

168
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 3: hundred and ten guaranteed. He will now be the highest

169
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 3: paid wide receiver in the NFL, in the league's highest

170
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 3: paid non quarterback. His new salary is going to be

171
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars per year. What are your first thoughts,

172
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,719
Speaker 3: You've you've played in the NFL for several seasons. When

173
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 3: you see a receiver like this making this type of money,

174
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,920
Speaker 3: what does it say about the NFL today?

175
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,320
Speaker 1: I said this yesterday, and it sounds crazy when you

176
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 1: talk like this. Players like Justin Jefferson don't get paid

177
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 1: like this if they're motivated by the money. You don't

178
00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: pay a guy to you don't give him what he wants,

179
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: because then he won't want anything and he'll be done.

180
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,080
Speaker 1: He'll take it out of gear. Players like Justin Jefferson

181
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:20,560
Speaker 1: are motivated by their desire to be the best. That's

182
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 1: why they're great. That's why you know. That's That's why

183
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs is different. That's why Justin Jefferson is different.

184
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: That's why Josh and Pat Mahomes are different, Joe Burrows different.

185
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: They're not motivated by the paycheck. They're motivated by the

186
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 1: respect of their peers and where they they are in

187
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 1: the in the hierarchy of guys at their position. You

188
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: give guys like Justin Jefferson this kind of money because

189
00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't affect him. He's gonna work even harder. Now,

190
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: that's one thing. The second thing is when you look

191
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: down and we've got you know, you talk about the

192
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: percentage of the salary cap that guys take up. Justin

193
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,240
Speaker 1: Jefferson is number two on the wide receiver list. Now

194
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 1: he's making more money, but he's number two on the list.

195
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: He's making thirteen point seven percent of the Vikings salary

196
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,200
Speaker 1: cap thirteen point seven. Tyreek is at fourteen point four.

197
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,200
Speaker 1: But because of the numbers and where his contract was

198
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: signed now they're deeper into it, he gets a higher

199
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,319
Speaker 1: percentage of the cap. But Justin's going to take home

200
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: more money this year, and it's because of the way

201
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: the cap. It's the way the cap is figured. Jalen

202
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,960
Speaker 1: Waddle is making is number nine on the top ten

203
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: list with eleven percent. So they've got Tyreek Hill at

204
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: fourteen point four and Jalen Waddle at eleven. That's twenty

205
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,240
Speaker 1: five and a half percent of this Dolphin salary cap

206
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: with two guys and they're both wide receivers. You got

207
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: to start looking at it like that. That's a lot

208
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: of money on two guys out of fifty.

209
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 2: Three HM with a quarterback who has not been paid.

210
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,480
Speaker 1: Yet, and both of those guys are dependent on a

211
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: guy you have not paid yet. Yeah, that's precarious to me.

212
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,079
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson is number or two on the percentage of

213
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,920
Speaker 1: these are wide receivers. Yes, and Justin Jefferson, it was

214
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: it was reported yesterday that he is he's the highest

215
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 1: non quarterback. He's got the highest non quarterback contract in

216
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: the league now at the current moment. Now there might

217
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:17,960
Speaker 1: be another one coming up here pretty quick, you know

218
00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: even how that works. But right now he is the

219
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: highest played, highest paid player in the National Football League

220
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: that's not a quarterback.

221
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 3: Does that makes sense with where the NFL is today?

222
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, sure, it's always gonna pass Nick Bosa, right, But

223
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: I'll say this, He's playing for Minnesota and they've got

224
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback. Justin Jefferson can't throw it to himself.

225
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 1: To me and and and I get it. He is

226
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: a fantastic he may be just called him the best,

227
00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: call him the best one or one of the best.

228
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,120
Speaker 1: Him and Tyreek or whoever, they can't throw the football

229
00:12:55,160 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 1: to themselves. And you're in a league where every year,

230
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:05,200
Speaker 1: and this year included, you got well, let's just say it, like,

231
00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: what three guys coming out who are maybe better. You know,

232
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,600
Speaker 1: they're certainly in that conversation, they're going to be drafted

233
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: higher than he was drafted. They're gifted physically, they're better, bigger, faster,

234
00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,240
Speaker 1: stronger than he is. You can get them for nothing,

235
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,840
Speaker 1: I mean, like for less than a million bucks. So

236
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:27,719
Speaker 1: it is a big undertaking, and it is a big

237
00:13:27,800 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: statement about what that wide receiver can do for you,

238
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: for a guy like Justin Jefferson in a market that

239
00:13:33,679 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: has a lot of wide receivers available, maybe not at

240
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:37,959
Speaker 1: this time of year, you know, after the draft, you

241
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: know you can't get one now, but goodness gracious, that's

242
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: a big commitment to a player at a position that

243
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: is now I think, flooded with really good talent and

244
00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:57,560
Speaker 1: who can't throw the football to himself. It's a risk,

245
00:13:57,720 --> 00:14:00,040
Speaker 1: no question, like it always is. But I don't no,

246
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:02,920
Speaker 1: I don't know that I can and I'm going to

247
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:04,920
Speaker 1: put wrap my mind or out. The Bill's just divested

248
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:07,839
Speaker 1: of a guy like that, not quite to that number,

249
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: but yeah, number one guy. And they got a guy

250
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,000
Speaker 1: in that people have high hopes for.

251
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: And why not it makes sense that Justin Jefferson got

252
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 3: paid what he got paid. We knew the number was

253
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 3: going to be huge. We knew he was going to

254
00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 3: be at the top of the market once he put

255
00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,880
Speaker 3: pen to paper. I think this puts pressure on the

256
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 3: Vikings coaching staff and JJ McCarthy for what they're going

257
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 3: to have to do when you're paying a wide receiver

258
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 3: one hundred and four million dollars across four years and

259
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 3: you draft a quarterback like JJ McCarthy who ran a

260
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 3: completely different system at Michigan that was not about throwing

261
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,200
Speaker 3: the football. It was a lot about running the football.

262
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 3: That puts a lot of pressure on what JJ McCarthy

263
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 3: is going to have to do in the next few

264
00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 3: seasons as a young quarterback in the NFL.

265
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: How are the Vikings going to justify the expense of

266
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 1: a Justin Jefferson with a rookie quarterback who came from

267
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:13,360
Speaker 1: a running system. Yeah, they're gonna have to pump targets

268
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 1: toward Justin Jefferson Like nobody's business at least, you know,

269
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: you think as trying to make sense of it financially. Now,

270
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: if they're smart up there and mean, and I'm sure

271
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: they are, they're like, no, no, No, we're just gonna try

272
00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: and win games. We're gonna play everybody the way that

273
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna depend on JJ or you know, Justin Jefferson

274
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 1: to play like he does and JJ McCarthy play like

275
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: he does. We're gonna formulate it around. We're just gonna

276
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,320
Speaker 1: win games. If they win. Nobody cares if Justin Jefferson

277
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: catches nine balls all year if they win. But you

278
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: paid the guy because you need him to win.

279
00:15:47,440 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: And like you said, Justin Jefferson is not throwing himself

280
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 3: to football. It takes two to tango in this league.

281
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,080
Speaker 1: And JJ McCarthy hasn't improved. He can, you know, face

282
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 1: the right way in the field yet you know, so.

283
00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: There were a lot of people were high on him

284
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 3: in the combine, in the process. Once he got into

285
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 3: meetings is when you really saw JJ McCarthy rise up

286
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 3: the draft board. When it came to teams who needed

287
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,360
Speaker 3: a quarterback, it was like, okay, when is this guy

288
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: gonna go? Is he going to go in the top ten.

289
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 3: A lot of people think really highly of him. He

290
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 3: did come from a running system at Michigan where he played,

291
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 3: but we believe when given the opportunity which he hasn't

292
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:31,280
Speaker 3: had yet. He will be a fine quarterback at the

293
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: NFL level with a receiver like Justin Jefferson on the roster,

294
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 3: we believe he can get the job done. But the

295
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 3: pressure definitely amps up when you're paying a wide receiver

296
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 3: thirty five million dollars a year, who is going to

297
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 3: get the ball at an elite level. JJ McCarthy's going

298
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: to have to find a way to work in a

299
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 3: new system successfully for that price tag to be worth it.

300
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's thirty five million dollars over four years. It's

301
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: a ton of money. And one hundred and ten I

302
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,679
Speaker 1: mean he's getting one hundred and ten million in ninety

303
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: he's absolutely getting ninety five point five million of it,

304
00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 1: probably going to get one hundred and ten million of

305
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: it unless you know, he has this catastrophic accident, you know,

306
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: away from the football field. He's getting ninety five point

307
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,879
Speaker 1: five of it over the next three or four years.

308
00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: That's yeah, that his life has changed forever, his career.

309
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: Think about this, His career might have changed for the

310
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 1: worst because now the club can't help him like they did.

311
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,320
Speaker 1: You think, and I'm not saying this, I'm not being

312
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: facetious I just is JJ McCarthy as good as Kirk

313
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,960
Speaker 1: Cousins Because we here in Buffalo with the guy we've got,

314
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,800
Speaker 1: we're thinking Kirk Cousins is kind of me you know,

315
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: how good can JJ McCarthy be meh and make JJ

316
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: justin Jefferson look as good as Kirk Cousins did. It

317
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,960
Speaker 1: doesn't sound that hard, right right.

318
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:06,360
Speaker 3: Just put somebody back there to lob the ball up there.

319
00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: Just get it over there towards him, right find. You know,

320
00:18:10,560 --> 00:18:13,840
Speaker 1: maybe that's where the vikings are on this. They're saying,

321
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:18,520
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't matter. They let Kirk Cousins walk right,

322
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, he's just he's like, you know, JAJ,

323
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:24,479
Speaker 1: Let's get JJ in here and see if he can

324
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 1: do better or at least as good, because because yeah,

325
00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:29,640
Speaker 1: like some people think that floor is kind of low

326
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:35,360
Speaker 1: up up there, because Cousins was like, he was never spectacular,

327
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,320
Speaker 1: He's just this. He was this good all the time,

328
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,160
Speaker 1: never wow, that good and never like oh that's bad,

329
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: never like that. But he was just like okay, so

330
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:47,679
Speaker 1: did they get bored? How good do you have to

331
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: be as a rookie quarterback to either a make him

332
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 1: forget about kirk cousins say, wow, yeah, we made the

333
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: right decision, or be It's like, okay, he's he's will

334
00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,880
Speaker 1: give him more time, you know, we'll give him another chance.

335
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 1: With Justin Jefferson, he's got a better chance of doing that. Right. Yeah,

336
00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:09,720
Speaker 1: he'll complete some balls he wouldn't have otherwise completed. So

337
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,240
Speaker 1: that does give him a little bit bigger margin of

338
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: error if you're JJ McCarthy, but you know you think

339
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: about it, You're right, Maddie, You're exactly right. The Justin

340
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:26,560
Speaker 1: Jefferson contract is about JJ McCarthy, not Justin Jefferson. Ye,

341
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: that's that kid's got to be choking on his aspirations

342
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: right now.

343
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,960
Speaker 3: You got a thirty five million dollar year wide receiver

344
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 3: on my team, and I'm entering my first season as

345
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,680
Speaker 3: an NFL quarterback with high expectations to get this guy

346
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 3: the ball. And the Vikings are not a team that's

347
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: in rebuilding mode. This is a team who's loading up

348
00:19:48,640 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 3: and ready to win.

349
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:54,280
Speaker 1: Uh. Listen, if you're JJ McCarthy, you're looking at the programming. Okay,

350
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:57,880
Speaker 1: who's he's number eighteen? Okay, that's my guy. Yeah, damn'

351
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,640
Speaker 1: looking for more it no matter what the old days.

352
00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 1: Michael Irvin said this in his Hall of Fame speech.

353
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: They were in a tough game NFC Championship game against

354
00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers. They're down twenty one points in

355
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: the first quarter, and Tory Aikman looked at Michael Irvin

356
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,400
Speaker 1: and said, I'm coming to you no matter what. Michael

357
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,959
Speaker 1: Ivan said. That's all I ever wanted, and that's what

358
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 1: he's That's what Jay Justin Jefferson has in JJ McCarthy,

359
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: a young quarterback who's looking at him in the huddle stand.

360
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,840
Speaker 1: I'm coming to you no matter what. That's where it's

361
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:33,719
Speaker 1: gonna be. And I'm telling you that is that is

362
00:20:34,040 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: absolutely fun to think about. It's fun to think about

363
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,600
Speaker 1: because you know they may make it work.

364
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 3: And a lot of people think it can work because

365
00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 3: of Kevin O'Connell the system that he has ran before,

366
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,240
Speaker 3: and they believe that JJ McCarthy can fit in a

367
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:55,760
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connell system as a quarterback who is not exactly

368
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:59,360
Speaker 3: Brock Purty, but similar to that, where you have somebody

369
00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,120
Speaker 3: that has these tools and you can build an offense

370
00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:07,280
Speaker 3: around those set of tools because of the people that

371
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 3: are also in that offense.

372
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: That's right yeah, and that's you know, you've got to

373
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,920
Speaker 1: find a way to You got to find a way

374
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,880
Speaker 1: to build the offense around what you've got. You've got

375
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 1: to Now, I'll say this, it doesn't matter how you

376
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: spend the money. It matters what the product is. You

377
00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,199
Speaker 1: know when it comes out. So the ingredients are what

378
00:21:28,240 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: they are. You've got a tremendous player at wide receiver.

379
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,840
Speaker 1: You've got a young quarterback who's playing for and he's

380
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,760
Speaker 1: a first round quarterback, so he's not doing it for free,

381
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: but he's on a very inexpensive quarterback contract. And you're

382
00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,360
Speaker 1: paying the money to the wide receiver, and you can

383
00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:46,200
Speaker 1: spend the rest of it on offensive lineman, running backs

384
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:48,480
Speaker 1: and tight ends and other wide receiver all you can

385
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: you can. The budget is there. It's not busted. It's

386
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: not busted. It's a little bit lopsided for where you

387
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: would think the value of it's going to be. Usually

388
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,040
Speaker 1: the value is at the quarterback spot, because because JJ

389
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: is brand new and Justin Jefferson is is proven, they're

390
00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: spending it the other way around. That's what if you're

391
00:22:08,320 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: the Vikings, That's how you got to look at us, say, listen,

392
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 1: our budget is fine. We're spending the money we need

393
00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:16,360
Speaker 1: to spend. We're not overspending or underspending because we got

394
00:22:16,359 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: a guy we can count on and he's getting paid.

395
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,359
Speaker 1: But the guy who's a really important spot that JJ

396
00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: McCarthy's of the world, he's he's on a rookie deal.

397
00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,040
Speaker 1: We're going to ride it and we got four years

398
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: to do it with this Justin Jefferson until we have

399
00:22:28,320 --> 00:22:31,439
Speaker 1: to until we have to pay JJ. So that's fine.

400
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,199
Speaker 2: You have a window here. Can you do something with

401
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 2: the window?

402
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:36,080
Speaker 1: Now?

403
00:22:36,160 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 3: You have your best wide receiver under under contract.

404
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 1: All we need is JJ McCarthy to be a stick

405
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,480
Speaker 1: that you can prop up the window with. Just hold

406
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 1: it open for us, right, That's what Kirk Cousins did.

407
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 2: Hope the offensive line does their job.

408
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, just pull the window open on the

409
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and use JJ McCarthy as a stick to

410
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: hold it open and let Justin Jefferson jump through. That's

411
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 1: their plan. Yeah, how how big, how thick of a stick?

412
00:23:09,160 --> 00:23:11,680
Speaker 1: Is changing? Is he can he hold the window open

413
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: at the quarterback spot? That's it? Can he stand there

414
00:23:14,280 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 1: and hold that thing open for them while they spend

415
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,879
Speaker 1: the money every place else to keep their window open.

416
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 3: It's an interesting way to look at that Justin Jefferson

417
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 3: contract is to think about the other players a part

418
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 3: of the roster, especially the quarterback who's going to be

419
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:34,440
Speaker 3: throwing him the football. But this contract doesn't just impact

420
00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson and impacts all the wide receivers out there

421
00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:41,080
Speaker 3: who are also looking for a new contract. So let's

422
00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 3: go around the NFL's presented by Clyde Healthy, Official healthcare

423
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: system of the Buffalo Bills and Cowboys. Wide receiver CD

424
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,480
Speaker 3: Lamb is another wide receiver who is seeking an extension.

425
00:23:52,560 --> 00:23:56,360
Speaker 3: He has not been a part of mandatory mini camp. Now,

426
00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 3: both sides are saying, you know, all is kosher, we're

427
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,440
Speaker 3: working on things, and we know Ceedee Lamb is away

428
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,919
Speaker 3: for these reasons.

429
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,880
Speaker 2: We expect him to be back. But he is one of.

430
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,920
Speaker 3: Several wide receivers who still want a contract. And there's

431
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:18,200
Speaker 3: wide receivers who are under contract who want an extension

432
00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:22,680
Speaker 3: now because of Justin Jefferson, because of that four year,

433
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:25,280
Speaker 3: one hundred and forty million dollars deal that he signed.

434
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus has hinted that Tyreek Hill

435
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 3: is ready for a new contract. Saying things like, let

436
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 3: me pull this up. Let's just say it's safe to

437
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 3: acknowledge that I've been in touch with the Dolphins GM

438
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 3: and Senior VP of Football and Business Administration. I certainly

439
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 3: have a fluid line of communication with them, and I've

440
00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,800
Speaker 3: shared with them how Tyreek feels. I'll also reiterate that

441
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 3: Tyreek has said that he would love to finish his

442
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:58,760
Speaker 3: career here with the Dolphins. Without getting into more specifics,

443
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 3: the Dolphins know how we feel. So he is another

444
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: wide receiver, a part of this list of guys who

445
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 3: want extensions, who want new contracts, who want more money.

446
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 3: Now that they see this justin Jefferson deal has been done.

447
00:25:17,119 --> 00:25:21,399
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the line's going to be long. But I

448
00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: think we'll start seeing teams and certainly the Viking. Anytime

449
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: you got a player like Tyreek, and you got to

450
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,920
Speaker 1: tip your hat. And I know if Bills fans don't

451
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:33,600
Speaker 1: want to do this, but I think we can all acknowledge.

452
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: You've got all respect for the Kansas City Chiefs. They

453
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 1: said goodbye to Tyreek and they made it work and

454
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: they won two Super Bowls without him. That's you've got

455
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:47,800
Speaker 1: to get value for your in your budget. You've got

456
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: to have more guys playing above their value of their

457
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: contract rather than under the value of their contract. It's

458
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:57,480
Speaker 1: hard for a guy like Justin Jefferson, like we said,

459
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: it's going to be hard for him to play at

460
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 1: a thirty five million dollar a year pace. With JJ

461
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,800
Speaker 1: McCarthy throwing to him, how are you gonna get that

462
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:09,680
Speaker 1: value out of him? If you can find a way

463
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:14,280
Speaker 1: to get it to him, maybe he does. Tyreek Hill, Yeah,

464
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 1: with two on a rookie contract and now Jalen Waddle,

465
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: you can you can count Tyreek has got a better

466
00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: chance of reaching that value, right, But the teams are

467
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:27,120
Speaker 1: sooner or later, the teams are gonna say, you know what,

468
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,880
Speaker 1: think about it. Steph Diggs was making like seventeen eighteen,

469
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:34,359
Speaker 1: which is you know, it's only what sixty percent of

470
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 1: those of those deals and giving you production like he did.

471
00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 1: That's where you kind of the sweet spot where you

472
00:26:40,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: want to be. You want to have guys out performing

473
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,399
Speaker 1: that money. Get him Matt Mulano and playing at the

474
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,919
Speaker 1: best he's played. He's he's a bargain at like twelve

475
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: million a year. You know you got guys like that

476
00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,760
Speaker 1: on your roster. Tarn Johnson. Same thing. You got guys

477
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:58,160
Speaker 1: that are overplaying their contract. So you're gonna see teams

478
00:26:58,200 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 1: are gonna say, all right, what would it look like

479
00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: if Tyreek, or if Justin Jefferson or who named Deebo Samuel,

480
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,520
Speaker 1: who's very high on that top ten list, What will

481
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: it look like if they earn the money that they

482
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 1: that were paying them? What will it take? Is there

483
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 1: a number?

484
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 3: The expectations go up when you're making that much money,

485
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 3: That's right. Not every single team in the NFL can

486
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 3: afford a player with that type of contract, especially when

487
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 3: your team was a quarterback that you're paying lots of

488
00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:31,159
Speaker 3: money to. Whether you're the Kansas City Chiefs or the

489
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills. The way you go about your business, the

490
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,320
Speaker 3: way you go about putting a contract roster together, looks

491
00:27:38,440 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 3: very different when you have quarterbacks like Josh Allen and

492
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes a part of your roster. And speaking of

493
00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:50,959
Speaker 3: guys getting money, breaking news, Christian McCaffrey just signed a

494
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: two year extension with the forty nine ers, averaging nineteen

495
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,919
Speaker 3: million dollars per year, per sources. McCaffrey will receive an

496
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 3: additional eight million over what he was scheduled to make

497
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 3: in the first two years while adding twenty four million

498
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 3: in guarantees. The deal was negotiating confirmed by w M Football.

499
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,680
Speaker 3: That's big time money for a running back. Now we

500
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: know Christian McCaffrey is kind of in his own category

501
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 3: of running backs because.

502
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:20,800
Speaker 2: Of what he can do.

503
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: Nineteen million dollars per year.

504
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: I gotta say, as versatile as he is pil and effect, Yeah,

505
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,040
Speaker 1: I think that guy can do that. I think if

506
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: he has the kind of year where he's rushing for

507
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,120
Speaker 1: a thousand and catching nine hundred, you know, nine hundred

508
00:28:38,160 --> 00:28:42,160
Speaker 1: yards in receiving and scornily. Yes, Christian McCaffrey is a

509
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:46,320
Speaker 1: guy that you can see a path towards earning nineteen

510
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: million bucks a year. But you think about like ce

511
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: D Lamb, He's think about the Cowboys and Ceedee Lamb

512
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: in relation to Justin Jefferson and the Vikings. Ceedee Lamb's

513
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 1: not practicing. Justin Jefferson took every rep in practice, took

514
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:02,480
Speaker 1: every rep in O two, took every every rep that

515
00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: he was entitled to, all the way through the off

516
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 1: season at a time when it was he was still

517
00:29:07,920 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: trying to get his new deal done. Every rep he took.

518
00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Ceedee Lamb is not at Cowboys. He is sitting out.

519
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: He's getting fined sixteen thousand, nine hundred and fifty three

520
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 1: dollars for missing the first day of a three day mandatory.

521
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 2: Minicamp, mandatory mini camp right now.

522
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,640
Speaker 1: He's getting for the day two. He's getting fined thirty

523
00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: three thousand, nine hundred and eight dollars for missing day two,

524
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: and he's getting fined fifty thousand, eight hundred and fifty

525
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: five thousand dollars for missing day three. So that's like

526
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars eighty oh gosh, yeah, it's like

527
00:29:43,760 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: ninety thousand dollars he's getting fined. No, it's a it's

528
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,400
Speaker 1: one hundred thousand dollars in fines for missing three days

529
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: in mini camp. My public math is is what I expected,

530
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: Actually I got Yes, I got it. It's exactly what

531
00:29:57,640 --> 00:30:00,240
Speaker 1: I expected. I knew I'd messed that up. He is.

532
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: He's projected towards like a four year, one hundred and

533
00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: thirty six million dollar extension right in the range of

534
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: where Justin Jefferson is. But the Cowboys they're not kind

535
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 1: of in that position of being able to pay him

536
00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: because they got Dak Prescott, they got a quarterback making

537
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: that Yeah, that's that's a problem. And but Ceedee Lamb

538
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:26,560
Speaker 1: is not handling it the same way that Justin Jefferson did.

539
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:30,360
Speaker 1: And I'll say this again, Justin Jefferson is a quintessential

540
00:30:30,400 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: example of why teams give guys big contracts like that

541
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:36,760
Speaker 1: because they don't care. They know they're gonna get paid.

542
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson was in every practice, every meeting, every workout.

543
00:30:44,360 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: That guy, you they had to kick him out of

544
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,440
Speaker 1: the building. And he wasn't even under contract, he didn't

545
00:30:49,440 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: even have an extension. They had to kick him out

546
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,320
Speaker 1: of the bill. Yeah you give that money, they will

547
00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: give that guy the money. But these now the ced

548
00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 1: you know. And then you got these guys like like

549
00:30:59,480 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. He scrubs his scrubs his Facebook accountable, all

550
00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:10,320
Speaker 1: likes for the car. I'm like, seriously, come on, you're

551
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: telling me. Yeah, that guy's motivated, and it was on

552
00:31:12,640 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 1: the first day possible for him to sign an extension

553
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:19,080
Speaker 1: he started doing that. Yet he's motivated by the money,

554
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,920
Speaker 1: not the respect or his standing with his peer group.

555
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 1: That's why teams sometimes have no problem giving a guy

556
00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: a big contract like that, and I think the Giants

557
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:30,480
Speaker 1: and that I mean the Vikings in that respect, are

558
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,960
Speaker 1: exactly right to do it for Justin Jefferson.

559
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:38,200
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey, the newest playmaker, getting an extension two years

560
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,600
Speaker 3: worth nineteen million dollars per year according to sources.

561
00:31:42,640 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 2: We're going to take a break, but.

562
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 3: When we return, we've got players speaking right now. His

563
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 3: practice is wrapping up. Von Miller is speaking to the

564
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: media right now, so we'll get to that later in

565
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 3: the show. And also here from Bobby Babbage, don't go

566
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:57,440
Speaker 3: anywhere here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colyde Health

567
00:31:57,440 --> 00:32:17,560
Speaker 3: on Buffalo Bill's Radio. We're back here on One Bill's Live.

568
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,840
Speaker 3: Practice has wrapped up, so players are speaking to the media.

569
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 3: Von Miller is at the podium right now. It's been

570
00:32:24,280 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 3: fun to watch him as a healthy von Miller out

571
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 3: there in practices. We know that he came back to

572
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 3: the field at the end of last season, but hearing

573
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:36,280
Speaker 3: from Bobby Babbage, they are expecting von Miller to be

574
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: back in full force this season. So let's hear from

575
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,080
Speaker 3: the edge rusher right now.

576
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 5: Continue to grind and just continue to work on my knee.

577
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 5: I think everything revolves around you know, my health. You

578
00:32:48,920 --> 00:32:51,560
Speaker 5: know the way my knee is feeling, and so far

579
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 5: I've been feeling great. I've been practicing without a knee brace.

580
00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:55,920
Speaker 5: That's something I just could not do last year.

581
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 4: So I know, like.

582
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:00,360
Speaker 5: During the season, once you once you start getting mix

583
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 5: and then games and.

584
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,000
Speaker 4: Stuff, and I really should be able to go.

585
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:06,160
Speaker 5: I think my I think my last three games of

586
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 5: the season, Miami, Pittsburgh and KC with my with my

587
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,200
Speaker 5: best games of the year. I hate that that they

588
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 5: waited all the way to that point, but that's just

589
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,040
Speaker 5: what it took. And I've just been trying to use

590
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,479
Speaker 5: that to springboard into this season today.

591
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 6: I mean, it seemed like you had about two three

592
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 6: sacks I would make sacked I did. You're the most

593
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,600
Speaker 6: you know, your guy that everybody seeks wisdom from on

594
00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 6: this rock. So what would you seek that wisdom?

595
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 5: Oh man, I'm just I'm just paying everything for you know,

596
00:33:33,960 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 5: ninety five percent stuff that I say didn't come from me.

597
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 5: You know, I've I've been fortunate to play with a

598
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 5: lot of Hall of famers from Peyton Manning DeMarcus where

599
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 5: Brian Doggins, Champ Bailey, and I just I just use

600
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 5: all I just use all that as reference when I'm

601
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:51,160
Speaker 5: talking to these guys. When I talk to these guys,

602
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 5: I don't talk to him about, you know, things that

603
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,520
Speaker 5: I was doing at that age. I talk about things

604
00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 5: that I should have been doing at that age or

605
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 5: things that I that I felt like should be done age.

606
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,080
Speaker 5: And you know, I tell DeMarcus this all the time.

607
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 5: I'm like, bro, I just I just be biting your

608
00:34:05,720 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 5: style all the time, Like guys that come up to

609
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 5: me and ask me stuff, and it's just I just

610
00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 5: you know, repeat what DeMarcus told me eight years ago,

611
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:16,240
Speaker 5: six years ago, what Peyton Manning said to me. And

612
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 5: you know, all the guys that I've been around, So

613
00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 5: it's not originally vun out there. It's guys that I've

614
00:34:21,160 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 5: been around. But it's all great. It's all great information.

615
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,920
Speaker 7: At the end of the day, quantify the difficulty that

616
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,839
Speaker 7: the Stevenson kid is trying to pull off here going

617
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 7: from wrestling to yeah right here today, Well.

618
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 5: You know, his locker is right next to my and

619
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,279
Speaker 5: right when we signed him, he texted me and it

620
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 5: was like, Hey, you know, I'm gonna be I'm gonna

621
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:42,239
Speaker 5: be on your hip. My locker's right next to my

622
00:34:42,520 --> 00:34:44,239
Speaker 5: right next to yours. I was like, all right, it's cool,

623
00:34:44,560 --> 00:34:47,239
Speaker 5: but it didn't really hit me until, like, you know,

624
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 5: we in there and I'm talking to him like this,

625
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 5: he's just like playing football.

626
00:34:51,200 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 4: This is some of the stuff that we did, like

627
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:53,839
Speaker 4: when we were a little kids.

628
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:58,040
Speaker 5: So he got to kind of you know, he just

629
00:34:58,080 --> 00:35:00,319
Speaker 5: has to be on an accelerated you know, learning, which

630
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 5: he's capable of. He's capable to do it, and we've

631
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 5: got great coaches to really bring it out. But when

632
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 5: it comes to an athletic standpoint, you know, a physical standpoint,

633
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 5: he's got it all. I remember he came in there yesterday.

634
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 5: I just had to try him a little bit and

635
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,960
Speaker 5: just try to grapple him a little bit, and he

636
00:35:15,040 --> 00:35:16,360
Speaker 5: was quick and he grabbed me.

637
00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,120
Speaker 6: I see it, I see it, I feel it.

638
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 5: So he's definitely got, like, you know, all the athletic

639
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 5: ability in the world, and it's it's we got great

640
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:25,320
Speaker 5: coaches here, but it's gonna be on the coaches to

641
00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 5: really bring that out of them.

642
00:35:26,680 --> 00:35:27,759
Speaker 4: And I'm excited to see it.

643
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: Man.

644
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 5: He's he's a very athletic player, strong, physical, and I'm

645
00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 5: just excited to see where the coaches can bring out

646
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:35,880
Speaker 5: of them.

647
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,680
Speaker 8: Like learning from Bobby Bavinch at defensive coordinator.

648
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,480
Speaker 5: I mean to be honest, it really is really, it

649
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:43,839
Speaker 5: really is no change. You know, he did a lot

650
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:46,279
Speaker 5: of talking before he has the linebacker's coach, and now

651
00:35:46,280 --> 00:35:49,840
Speaker 5: he's doing it from a defensive coordinator position. You know,

652
00:35:49,840 --> 00:35:51,640
Speaker 5: he's always been a great coach since I got here,

653
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 5: and he's always had, you know, really great things to

654
00:35:55,520 --> 00:35:57,160
Speaker 5: say in front of the defense. And now it's just

655
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 5: his full time job and he's more than capable of

656
00:36:01,080 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 5: that job. I'm excited to see him. I'm excited to

657
00:36:04,680 --> 00:36:05,840
Speaker 5: see him on on his journey.

658
00:36:05,880 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 4: For sure.

659
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: He's a he's a great coach.

660
00:36:07,600 --> 00:36:10,560
Speaker 5: It's gonna be a great DC force, very very intelligent,

661
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,759
Speaker 5: and he coaches the mindset, which I feel like is

662
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 5: very important from coaches at this level.

663
00:36:16,080 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 4: You know, he he gets us going, you.

664
00:36:17,840 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 5: Know, each and every day he brings the energy and

665
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 5: I'm excited to you know, see what he brings to

666
00:36:21,440 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 5: this defense.

667
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,239
Speaker 8: Since you've been here before that it's on another levels.

668
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:30,239
Speaker 6: Happened Has it been tried at all this offseason? When

669
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,200
Speaker 6: you go back and what happened last year?

670
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:34,600
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course you know, it's definitely been it's definitely

671
00:36:34,680 --> 00:36:36,880
Speaker 5: been tried. But at the end of the day, you know,

672
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:39,160
Speaker 5: that's that's all I got is my optimism in my faith,

673
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:42,080
Speaker 5: and you know, I know what I can do, what

674
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:43,719
Speaker 5: I can still do at the end of the day.

675
00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:47,719
Speaker 5: And you know, he just gotta keep pushing. And you know,

676
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,000
Speaker 5: whenever God says is over with, then it'll be over with.

677
00:36:51,160 --> 00:36:53,080
Speaker 5: But I I still feel like I got, you know,

678
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:55,439
Speaker 5: a couple more years left, and you know, I'm gonna

679
00:36:55,480 --> 00:36:57,200
Speaker 5: give it my all. My sons are just not going

680
00:36:57,239 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 5: to just now starting to come around to consciousness and

681
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 5: and every time they see the Buffalo Bill's logo, they

682
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 5: be like daddy Daddy. You know, see the my forty

683
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:07,040
Speaker 5: jersey and they be like daddy Daddy. So I s

Speaker 5: I wanna be able to you know, play and get

685
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:11,920
Speaker 5: sacks and you know, and have them experience that you know,

686
00:37:11,960 --> 00:37:14,239
Speaker 5: on my way out for sure, when you.

687
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:16,760
Speaker 9: Talk about Payton Manning, right, and you played with pennyman

688
00:37:16,800 --> 00:37:19,560
Speaker 9: You've one Super Bowl with baby U. Seeing this roster

689
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,239
Speaker 9: was so much turned over now, you know, Josh are

690
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 9: you know the od's a Campbell New York. What did

691
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:28,280
Speaker 9: you see in Josh's demeanor's trouble patas.

692
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 6: That has some similarities on pay manage and polks us.

693
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 4: Well.

694
00:37:31,120 --> 00:37:34,040
Speaker 5: I mean, on the fields, there's nothing that I can

695
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,400
Speaker 5: say to Josh, you know, you know, I like to

696
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 5: put my GM and head on and he's just a

697
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:41,240
Speaker 5: GM's dream, you know when it comes to playing quarterback

698
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 5: and all the things that he could do out there.

699
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:44,520
Speaker 5: It's literally nothing I can say to Josh on the

700
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 5: football field. But what I do is I just I

701
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 5: just try to stoke the fire a little bit.

702
00:37:48,280 --> 00:37:48,440
Speaker 4: You know.

703
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:52,759
Speaker 5: Sometimes I might I might take some like, uh, you know,

704
00:37:52,800 --> 00:37:55,359
Speaker 5: a picture of Lombardi Trophy, or you know, I might

705
00:37:55,600 --> 00:37:58,239
Speaker 5: send him an interview of you know, other quarterbacks around

706
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,400
Speaker 5: the league that have that have won super just to

707
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 5: kind of get the fire going, which I already know

708
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 5: is there and I know it's welcome, but you know,

709
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 5: it's just the mental part of it for me, and

710
00:38:07,280 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 5: you know, letting Josh know that that I believe in

711
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,279
Speaker 5: him one hundred percent, whether we win, whether we lose. Man,

712
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:15,120
Speaker 5: I believe in seventeen. You know, I'm gonna ride or

713
00:38:15,160 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 5: die with seventeen. And he's the key for our success.

714
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,880
Speaker 5: He's the key for the success here in Buffalo, in

715
00:38:20,960 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 5: Western New York. And you know that was the reason

716
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:26,680
Speaker 5: why I came here. And you know, I firmly believe

717
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 5: in Josh He'll be able to deliver us home. And

718
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 5: I'm gonna do whatever I can to, you know, to

719
00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 5: make it easy for him, whether that's making plays on defense,

720
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:34,600
Speaker 5: whether that's just supporting.

721
00:38:34,239 --> 00:38:35,480
Speaker 4: Him and let him know that I got his back.

722
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,279
Speaker 5: You know, ninety percent of the time, you know, that's

723
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:39,800
Speaker 5: that's all these star players need is to know that.

724
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:40,839
Speaker 4: You got they back.

725
00:38:41,239 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 5: You know, they got the weight of the world, they

726
00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:44,960
Speaker 5: on they shoulders, the way to Buffalo, the way of

727
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,560
Speaker 5: the NFL on the shoulders. And you know, the only

728
00:38:47,600 --> 00:38:49,319
Speaker 5: thing he's missing is the super Bowl. So I know

729
00:38:49,360 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 5: he thinks about that each and every day, and you know,

730
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,759
Speaker 5: you know some days it's just it's just my road

731
00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:55,520
Speaker 5: to just say, hey, man, you know I love you, man,

732
00:38:55,640 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 5: whether we win, whether we lose, Man, I got your back.

733
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:00,600
Speaker 5: And you know, I feel like he was relief in

734
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 5: it for sure.

735
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:03,359
Speaker 2: All right.

736
00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 3: That was edg Rusher von Miller speaking to the media

737
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,879
Speaker 3: right after practice, and we saw a few games from

738
00:39:08,960 --> 00:39:11,240
Speaker 3: him at the end of the season, and he said,

739
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,840
Speaker 3: this is when I felt like I was playing my

740
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 3: best ball there toward the end of the season, at

741
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 3: least those few games is when we really started to

742
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,279
Speaker 3: see him and what we were used to seeing von

743
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,239
Speaker 3: Miller do. Now he gets a full off season to

744
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:31,799
Speaker 3: continue to rehab feel better and is back practicing this offseason,

745
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:36,200
Speaker 3: participating in a lot of OTAs and off season workouts,

746
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:40,160
Speaker 3: and I believe if we can get a full season

747
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: out of him, almost a full season out of him.

748
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:45,760
Speaker 3: I hope he doesn't get injured at any point during

749
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: this season, but the Bills had to do a lot

750
00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:52,839
Speaker 3: of last season without him and without his production even

751
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 3: when he was a part of the defensive line. I

752
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,919
Speaker 3: believe if we get a healthy von Miller who looked

753
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,799
Speaker 3: like the Vaughn we got in his first season with

754
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: the Bills, this could be a tough defensive line to

755
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 3: go up against. Knowing the guys who are going to

756
00:40:10,280 --> 00:40:13,520
Speaker 3: take another step in their careers this season, with players

757
00:40:13,640 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 3: like Greg Russo and aj Apanessa who just got a

758
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:21,880
Speaker 3: new contract with Buffalo, de Kwon Jones back in Buffalo

759
00:40:21,960 --> 00:40:22,919
Speaker 3: at Oliver.

760
00:40:22,880 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: Casey two Hill is also in the building. You're right, Maddie,

761
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 1: I'm if Vaughn stays healthy. I think he's going to

762
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: be a force.

763
00:40:30,840 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 4: I really do.

764
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: I was noticing the same things he was saying last

765
00:40:33,880 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: and I've been talking about it on the air. I

766
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: thought Vaughn was very close to being as good as

767
00:40:38,440 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 1: we've seen him up until the end of the season

768
00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:43,439
Speaker 1: right well right at the end of the season last year,

769
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,959
Speaker 1: which is what you might expect for a guy coming

770
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: off in ACL. I have high hopes for him, but

771
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: he does have to stay healthy, no question about it.

772
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting too, what he said at

773
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 1: the end there about you know some of the great

774
00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: players and all they need to know is that you

775
00:40:56,680 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: got their back, you know, and that Josh and You're

776
00:40:59,160 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 1: right got quarterback like Peyton Manning, who Vaughan has played

777
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:05,640
Speaker 1: with and won Super Bowl with. Other great quarterbacks that

778
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 1: Vaughan has played with, you know, Matt Stafford out in

779
00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,080
Speaker 1: LA when he won a Super Bowl out there. They

780
00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 1: just need to know that you got him. You know

781
00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:18,960
Speaker 1: that you're not sitting there waiting on this star player

782
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:21,760
Speaker 1: to win everything for you, that you're out there playing

783
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,240
Speaker 1: your best and you're with them and no matter what happens,

784
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,640
Speaker 1: you're in it together. I think it's really interesting to

785
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:28,959
Speaker 1: see that a lot was made back in the days

786
00:41:29,239 --> 00:41:31,319
Speaker 1: when I played about Jim Kelly when he first got

787
00:41:31,320 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: to Buffalo. Because of the pressure and the anticipation of

788
00:41:34,200 --> 00:41:36,560
Speaker 1: his arrival, the guy was thrown up before every game,

789
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:41,040
Speaker 1: every game because he knew he was the only guy

790
00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:44,240
Speaker 1: on that team that people wanted to see play well.

791
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:47,279
Speaker 1: As the years rolled by, and Bruce Smith spread his

792
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,640
Speaker 1: wings and started to become the best pass rusher to

793
00:41:49,640 --> 00:41:53,000
Speaker 1: ever lace it up, and Thurman Thomas got in the

794
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: building and was a Hall of Fame offensive player that

795
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 1: you led the league and yards from scrimmage for four

796
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: straight years. Cornelius Bennett showed up and was one of

797
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:03,960
Speaker 1: the great all time great linebackers in the history of

798
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:07,120
Speaker 1: the game. Darryl Talley proved his worth, Kent Hole proved

799
00:42:07,160 --> 00:42:09,200
Speaker 1: his worth. There were other players on that roster. Andre

800
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: Reid became a Hall of Fame receiver. As more and

801
00:42:12,400 --> 00:42:14,839
Speaker 1: more guys got there and became great in their own right,

802
00:42:14,920 --> 00:42:16,919
Speaker 1: Jim didn't have to throw up before every game because

803
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,480
Speaker 1: he knew guys had him. He knew he had some help,

804
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,560
Speaker 1: and things changed over time, and I thought it was

805
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,600
Speaker 1: really it's really insightful for von to sit there and go,

806
00:42:25,640 --> 00:42:28,520
Speaker 1: you know, that's kind of what Josh needs. Somebody knows

807
00:42:28,360 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 1: he's I got other guys I can depend on. Now,

808
00:42:31,600 --> 00:42:35,360
Speaker 1: Steph certainly he knew he could depend on. But now

809
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,719
Speaker 1: does he feel that way about Khalil Shakir and Spencer

810
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:44,160
Speaker 1: or I mean Dalton Kinkaid. Does he feel that way

811
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: about you know, Dawson Knox and James Cook, the guys

812
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 1: that have been here. Because there's certain guys like Keon Coleman.

813
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 1: He may get there, but he's certainly not going to

814
00:42:52,360 --> 00:42:58,960
Speaker 1: start the season as one of those guys that you know, Yeah,

815
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: more so than ever, this is Josh Allen's football team.

816
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: So a great player like Vaughn, a guy with the

817
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,440
Speaker 1: credentials of von Miller, knows that sometimes those guys just

818
00:43:08,520 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 1: need to know that they're not alone in this. And

819
00:43:12,719 --> 00:43:15,719
Speaker 1: that's pretty insightful for Vaughn to be there for that.

820
00:43:15,800 --> 00:43:17,960
Speaker 1: And I think that may be as valuable a thing

821
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: as we hear from von Miller the entire offseason.

822
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's nice to have veterans on the roster who

823
00:43:24,480 --> 00:43:31,040
Speaker 3: who have pull like that in terms of just them saying, hey,

824
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,440
Speaker 3: I believe in you. I know you can do this.

825
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 3: What it does to a player's confidence, what it does

826
00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:38,680
Speaker 3: to a team's confidence. I think von Miller is one

827
00:43:38,719 --> 00:43:41,920
Speaker 3: of those guys because a lot of these players respect

828
00:43:42,520 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 3: what he's done in the NFL, the time that he's

829
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 3: spent in the NFL onto year fourteen in his NFL career.

830
00:43:49,440 --> 00:43:52,279
Speaker 3: A lot of players haven't done that, and a lot

831
00:43:52,360 --> 00:43:56,120
Speaker 3: of players can't say that they've done that because it

832
00:43:56,200 --> 00:43:59,120
Speaker 3: takes a lot to be a difference maker in the

833
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 3: NFL for for.

834
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:01,800
Speaker 2: Double digit years.

835
00:44:02,200 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 3: We're gonna take a break, but when we return, we're

836
00:44:03,960 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 3: gonna go to the phone lines because I see a

837
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:07,759
Speaker 3: few people have been hanging on the phone line, So

838
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 3: stick with us here on One Bill's Live. We're presented

839
00:44:10,360 --> 00:44:28,320
Speaker 3: by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

840
00:44:29,280 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 2: What's Up.

841
00:44:29,719 --> 00:44:32,440
Speaker 3: We're back here on One Bill's Live. Maddy Glab alongside

842
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 3: of Steve Tasker. We've got a topic for you today.

843
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,200
Speaker 3: What will define the Bills defensively in twenty twenty four.

844
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 3: We've been talking so much about the offense the past

845
00:44:42,719 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 3: few weeks, and rightfully so, because there's so much change

846
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 3: on a lot of new faces, and the offense is

847
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,319
Speaker 3: always fun to talk about, but we've got to give

848
00:44:50,360 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 3: some attention to the defense as well, and we heard

849
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:56,440
Speaker 3: from Bobby Babbage, Buffalo's new defensive coordinator, earlier today and

850
00:44:56,480 --> 00:44:59,680
Speaker 3: heard from a lot of defensive players after practice today.

851
00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 3: We'll get to more of that sound later on in

852
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 3: the show, but if you want to weigh in on

853
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,399
Speaker 3: that question, you can give us a call here at

854
00:45:06,440 --> 00:45:08,880
Speaker 3: eight O three five point fifty. But we want to

855
00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 3: go to Judy in Buffalo, who's been hanging on the

856
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:12,960
Speaker 3: line for quite some time.

857
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:13,840
Speaker 2: What's up, Judy?

858
00:45:15,360 --> 00:45:19,000
Speaker 10: Well, I'm gonna set with the two of you because

859
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,280
Speaker 10: you took some of the Lusser off from my call.

860
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:26,400
Speaker 10: First of all, hooray justin Jefferson got all this money.

861
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,400
Speaker 10: What Minnesota is going to finish fourth in their division? Okay?

862
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:37,000
Speaker 10: Fade to complete. Second, did Bean general manager Bean realize

863
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,400
Speaker 10: what this market was going to be and foresaw that

864
00:45:40,960 --> 00:45:44,640
Speaker 10: Biggs might have held out or to manage a new contract,

865
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:49,040
Speaker 10: And if so, that's to his credit. Third, I keep

866
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,279
Speaker 10: saying the only way you're going to overcome all of this,

867
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,759
Speaker 10: because it's out of control, is to draft two or

868
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 10: three wide receivers every year. Hope somebody pans out to

869
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:08,320
Speaker 10: be a good prospect. Okay, and that can happen. Fourth,

870
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 10: why do we keep interviewing Don Miller who has done

871
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:17,760
Speaker 10: nothing from this team in two years except absorb forty

872
00:46:17,840 --> 00:46:22,160
Speaker 10: million dollars? You know, I'm tired of this. Okay that

873
00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 10: those are my comments.

874
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:26,960
Speaker 3: All right, Thanks for the call, Judy, appreciate it. Hey,

875
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:29,920
Speaker 3: hopefully we see a lot more from von Miller this

876
00:46:30,160 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 3: upcoming season.

877
00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,040
Speaker 2: I get where you're coming from.

878
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:36,239
Speaker 3: It's been frustrating to have a guy like that who

879
00:46:36,320 --> 00:46:41,000
Speaker 3: we know what the statistics have been throughout his NFL career,

880
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 3: but one thing I don't know is how long it

881
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 3: takes to rehab from an ACL injury, especially at that

882
00:46:48,760 --> 00:46:50,720
Speaker 3: point in your career when you're.

883
00:46:50,680 --> 00:46:52,440
Speaker 2: Up there in NFL years.

884
00:46:52,560 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 3: So I'm not going to sit here and say, hey,

885
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: he should have been producing week six in the season.

886
00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:00,000
Speaker 2: I don't know what it takes.

887
00:47:00,360 --> 00:47:03,839
Speaker 3: I don't I'm not I'm not an athletic trainer. I'm

888
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:06,239
Speaker 3: not in von Miller's body, so I don't know what

889
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 3: he was going through. But it seems like all arrows

890
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:14,359
Speaker 3: are pointing in the right direction for him to look

891
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:17,120
Speaker 3: a lot more like himself this season and we.

892
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:18,359
Speaker 2: Saw flashes of it.

893
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it it showed up in sack numbers

894
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,200
Speaker 3: last season, but toward the end of last season we

895
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:28,120
Speaker 3: started to see a little bit there in the final

896
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,080
Speaker 3: final few games, especially in that last game.

897
00:47:31,320 --> 00:47:33,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think there's any question. A lot of people,

898
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:36,319
Speaker 1: me included, believe Vaughn's got some really good football left

899
00:47:36,320 --> 00:47:38,520
Speaker 1: in And maybe it's not two full years like he said,

900
00:47:38,800 --> 00:47:41,200
Speaker 1: but it might be three quarters of the season. And

901
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,560
Speaker 1: with the rotational process and the way the Bills want

902
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 1: to use him, maybe that's going to be enough to

903
00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:46,480
Speaker 1: get him through to the end of this year. He's

904
00:47:46,480 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 1: got to stay healthy. But I'll say this, and it's

905
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: logical for Judy and other fans say, well, you know,

906
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:53,319
Speaker 1: why do we hearing from Vaughn. Well, there's a couple

907
00:47:53,360 --> 00:47:55,319
Speaker 1: of reasons. One, Vaughn is as a Hall of Fame

908
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: caliber players. You can't slice it any other way. The

909
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:00,600
Speaker 1: guy's going to be in the Hall of Fame. That

910
00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:05,919
Speaker 1: gives him something that the meatia And quite frankly, it's

911
00:48:05,960 --> 00:48:09,520
Speaker 1: not Vaughn asking to be interviewed. The media want him.

912
00:48:10,080 --> 00:48:12,759
Speaker 1: They ask for him because they know his name and

913
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: his words move the needle on their clicks and their

914
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: viewers and all that. That's why, Judy, so it's logical

915
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:20,520
Speaker 1: for you to say, listen, I'm hat it with Vaughn.

916
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: You know, we haven't seen anything of him for two years,

917
00:48:23,239 --> 00:48:27,319
Speaker 1: but it's Vaughn's name has some cachet, and that's why

918
00:48:27,360 --> 00:48:28,960
Speaker 1: the media kind of says, hey, is he going to

919
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,920
Speaker 1: be able to speak to us? They want to talk

920
00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 1: to him because also, a, he's really good on camera.

921
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:36,440
Speaker 1: He's a very smart guy. He's got a lot of experience,

922
00:48:36,560 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of credibility, as we've been talking about,

923
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,400
Speaker 1: and he's good for the media to have as a

924
00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: source for content. It has nothing to do with this,

925
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 1: obviously from last year's production on the field, I get it,

926
00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 1: and I know too that fans like Judy are a

927
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 1: little bit more savvy about the fact that we spent

928
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:58,719
Speaker 1: a lot of money on a guy and they're not

929
00:48:58,760 --> 00:49:01,120
Speaker 1: happy with the way with the production they've gotten in return.

930
00:49:01,760 --> 00:49:03,680
Speaker 1: It makes a lot of sense, But those are the reasons.

931
00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:07,640
Speaker 1: Vaughn's credibility, his name, his production in the past, and

932
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:09,239
Speaker 1: the fact that he's gonna be in the Hall of Fame.

933
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,720
Speaker 1: All of that stuff makes him, somebody the media targets

934
00:49:12,719 --> 00:49:16,120
Speaker 1: and asks for in those scenarios. So it's not Vaughn

935
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:20,719
Speaker 1: begging to get on. That's so remember that. But I

936
00:49:20,760 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: get it. It's perfectly logical opinion on her part. It is,

937
00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 1: you're right. I don't know, I'm not. The Bills knew

938
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:33,960
Speaker 1: that they were gonna get deeper and deeper in with

939
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 1: with Steph Diggs financially if they if they wanted to

940
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,320
Speaker 1: keep it, because the guy's earning it. I mean, he

941
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 1: played well for this club. Yeah, but I think they

942
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 1: knew that at the end of this year, you know,

943
00:49:45,200 --> 00:49:48,960
Speaker 1: and the market's doing nothing but going up, and they're

944
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:51,920
Speaker 1: looking now and they're saying, okay, well we're gonna have

945
00:49:51,960 --> 00:49:54,160
Speaker 1: a We may as well get there's gonna be a

946
00:49:54,160 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 1: ton of receivers in this draft, just like there has been.

947
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:59,520
Speaker 1: Let's grab one and we'll bite the bullet financially this

948
00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: year for Steph and lean on Josh a little more

949
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:05,680
Speaker 1: and try and fill in the gaps with some free agents,

950
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,959
Speaker 1: which they did, you know, Curtis, Samuel mac hollins, Chase

951
00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,200
Speaker 1: Claypool and now of course Keon Coleman, who's in the mix.

952
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,799
Speaker 1: Plus the emergence of Khalil Shakir, Dalton Kinkaid, James Cook.

953
00:50:16,880 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: So they they've got to feel very good about their

954
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:24,319
Speaker 1: skill set around Josh Allen, even without Steph Diggs and

955
00:50:24,400 --> 00:50:29,719
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis. But you think about it, I mean, you're

956
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,399
Speaker 1: sitting here, are we gonna be the ones to pay

957
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:38,200
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis thirteen million dollars a year? Probably not? Probably

958
00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 1: not not when you've got Steph Diggs on the other

959
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:43,959
Speaker 1: side of him, and if you're gonna make that move,

960
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,040
Speaker 1: and they're thinking too the roller coaster of production that

961
00:50:47,160 --> 00:50:50,399
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis was where you'd have two games with zero zero,

962
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:57,000
Speaker 1: zero zero, no targets, no catches, and no yards mixed

963
00:50:57,040 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 1: in with a six catch eighty five you know yard game,

964
00:51:00,280 --> 00:51:03,160
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Maybe they could. It wouldn't be

965
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: that hard to get somebody steadier in there, who they

966
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:09,680
Speaker 1: who will get maybe five catches every game for seventy

967
00:51:09,760 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: yards or better, if there's a guy like Keon Coleman.

968
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:17,879
Speaker 1: So I don't know that I'm that that I can

969
00:51:17,960 --> 00:51:20,799
Speaker 1: say specifically that Brandon Bean saw the writing on the

970
00:51:20,800 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: wall and said, we're gonna do this because we're gonna

971
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: be able to replace all this stuff, with all this

972
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,520
Speaker 1: stuff and get cheaper and younger and more athletic and

973
00:51:27,600 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 1: more productive way ahead of time, because you never know

974
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:32,759
Speaker 1: what it's going to be like. You got to make

975
00:51:32,760 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 1: the decision before you get the players back. But sitting

976
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:43,640
Speaker 1: here headed into the season, I feel really good about

977
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: the moves they have made in the roster and where

978
00:51:45,200 --> 00:51:46,960
Speaker 1: it's's now, particularly in the wide receiver room.

979
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:47,560
Speaker 4: I think it's a.

980
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,240
Speaker 1: Really good group of dudes, really good group of guys,

981
00:51:50,520 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: a lot of talent in the room. Certainly, it's hard

982
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,760
Speaker 1: to replace a talent like Digs, but the physical talent

983
00:51:56,880 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 1: certainly is going to be there. So we'll see, we'll see.

984
00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 1: I think I'm with Judy the stuff we've been talking

985
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:08,839
Speaker 1: about with justin Jefferson contract. Those guys are a little

986
00:52:08,840 --> 00:52:10,720
Speaker 1: bit too easy to replace at this point in history.

987
00:52:11,080 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 1: Rather than paying a guy thirty five million dollars a

988
00:52:14,040 --> 00:52:17,160
Speaker 1: year even if he is really really good, if you've

989
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:20,239
Speaker 1: got a guy that can pull the trigger, other guys

990
00:52:20,280 --> 00:52:20,959
Speaker 1: will play better.

991
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:23,040
Speaker 2: Exactly.

992
00:52:23,239 --> 00:52:25,720
Speaker 3: You've got a lot of receivers coming out of college

993
00:52:25,719 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 3: football now who can really help add to a room,

994
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:33,080
Speaker 3: who are a lot cheaper than some of these veterans,

995
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:36,399
Speaker 3: and it looks different for every team. It totally makes

996
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 3: sense why the Texans wanted a receiver like Stefan Diggs

997
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:43,240
Speaker 3: knowing that they have a younger quarterback in CJ.

998
00:52:43,400 --> 00:52:43,800
Speaker 2: Stroud.

999
00:52:43,840 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs was so important for Josh Allen's development. To

1000
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,560
Speaker 3: get somebody like that in Houston to help with a

1001
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 3: second year quarterbacks development, I think it's going to be

1002
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,760
Speaker 3: huge for a CJ. Stroud's career as well. That's why

1003
00:52:58,800 --> 00:53:03,680
Speaker 3: these teams make these moves. And Buffalo maybe felt like, hey,

1004
00:53:04,680 --> 00:53:07,520
Speaker 3: Diggs and Allen were incredible together. They gave us an

1005
00:53:07,560 --> 00:53:12,359
Speaker 3: incredible four seasons together, but now it's time to move

1006
00:53:12,400 --> 00:53:15,839
Speaker 3: on because of the players that we're paying right now

1007
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 3: and what we can and can afford.

1008
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot in that, and we can get

1009
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:22,439
Speaker 1: to more after the breaks. We're way past the break.

1010
00:53:22,440 --> 00:53:26,600
Speaker 1: But yeah, this dynamic between quarterback receivers something you can

1011
00:53:26,640 --> 00:53:28,560
Speaker 1: explore a long way, and I think there's a lot

1012
00:53:28,600 --> 00:53:31,279
Speaker 1: in that about this wide receiver market and where these

1013
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 1: teams are where their quarterback development is.

1014
00:53:33,200 --> 00:53:35,359
Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, all right, we've got to take a break.

1015
00:53:35,360 --> 00:53:38,520
Speaker 3: When we return, we've got more callers on the line.

1016
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:42,120
Speaker 3: We'll also get to Greg Russo who spoke to the media,

1017
00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 3: as well as one other defensive player, and also here

1018
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,319
Speaker 3: from Bobby Babbage as well. Lots to come, so don't

1019
00:53:48,360 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 3: go anywhere. On One Bill's Live, We're presented by a

1020
00:53:50,320 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: Kalida Health on Buffalo Bills Radio.

1021
00:54:36,520 --> 00:54:41,160
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live presented by Calledlida Health.

1022
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 3: Welcome back into One Bill's Live. Our number two ahead,

1023
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 3: Matti Glab alongside of Steve Tasker.

1024
00:54:49,280 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 2: We've got a topic for you today.

1025
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,600
Speaker 3: What will define the Bills defensively in twenty twenty four.

1026
00:54:54,680 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 3: A lot of different ways you can go with answering

1027
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 3: this question, certainly because there's a a lot of new

1028
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 3: faces a part of the defense this season, including a

1029
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:08,279
Speaker 3: new defensive coordinator in Bobby Babbage. Pete, we are going

1030
00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 3: to go to you on the phone lines because you've

1031
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:11,600
Speaker 3: been hanging on for a while.

1032
00:55:11,719 --> 00:55:13,399
Speaker 2: Pete, How are you doing good?

1033
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,960
Speaker 11: How are you guys? Thanks for taking my call regarding

1034
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 11: the defense. I think what you'll see one thing anyway

1035
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,120
Speaker 11: in the back end is much more speed as great

1036
00:55:23,160 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 11: as player and I'd have been. You know, Heide's been

1037
00:55:25,760 --> 00:55:28,360
Speaker 11: hurt and players really lost a lot of foot speed

1038
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,360
Speaker 11: it became really noticeable the last year and a half.

1039
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:35,799
Speaker 11: I still remember in the Cincinnati playoff game Pee Ryan

1040
00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 11: and Mix and riding him five six seven yards downfield

1041
00:55:39,840 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 11: even after making contact. And then I have two quick

1042
00:55:43,320 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 11: questions for you guys the wide receivers. You pretty much

1043
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 11: answered my question. But just to Piggyback and what Judy said,

1044
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,520
Speaker 11: do you think that will go the way of running

1045
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:56,720
Speaker 11: backs over the next few years where teams will say,

1046
00:55:57,120 --> 00:55:59,960
Speaker 11: you know, we're just going to use players on rookie deals,

1047
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,239
Speaker 11: get some matter of price free agents and just turn

1048
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 11: it over every a few years.

1049
00:56:07,360 --> 00:56:10,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're going to see the league do

1050
00:56:10,640 --> 00:56:14,440
Speaker 1: that like what Minnesota is doing. You're either going to

1051
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,400
Speaker 1: be paying the wide receivers, running backs, linebackers and all that,

1052
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: or you're going to be paying a quarterback. And when

1053
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 1: you when you get a young quarterback, the idea would

1054
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: be to surround him with quality, veteran, high price free

1055
00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,920
Speaker 1: agents who get value for those contract, Guys who can

1056
00:56:31,920 --> 00:56:35,360
Speaker 1: play up to those contracts, like Justin Jefferson's and guys

1057
00:56:35,400 --> 00:56:39,839
Speaker 1: like Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle and Jamar Chase and

1058
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:43,520
Speaker 1: all those guys in Cincinnati. You get big time wide

1059
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,600
Speaker 1: outs to help a young quarterback develop, and then when

1060
00:56:46,600 --> 00:56:49,280
Speaker 1: the quarterback can do it himself, Allah of the Kansas

1061
00:56:49,280 --> 00:56:52,440
Speaker 1: City Chiefs, you jettison the Tyreek Hill, you jettison the

1062
00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: steps digs, You jettison those guys when your quarter when

1063
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: you pay your quarterback and he elevates the other guys

1064
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: around them. So I think you're either in one of

1065
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: those places or another. You either got a young quarterback

1066
00:57:03,840 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: who's developing with a guy like Steph Diggs around him

1067
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: and guys like Dawson Knox and some of these other

1068
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 1: guys who elevated their play or helped elevate the play

1069
00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:16,600
Speaker 1: of the quarterback, or you have a quarterback who can

1070
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,480
Speaker 1: elevate anybody around him. Ben Roethlisberger did it for a

1071
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,520
Speaker 1: long long time in Pittsburgh. You look at the roster

1072
00:57:21,600 --> 00:57:24,240
Speaker 1: of wide house he had and how successful they were

1073
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: with him and then taking him someplace else. It didn't

1074
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: always work out that way, even Chase Claypool started his

1075
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: career with Ben. So guys like you're gonna see teams

1076
00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,600
Speaker 1: in one of those two scenarios. Either a quarterback who

1077
00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: can elevate lesser guys around him, or you're paying the

1078
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 1: guys around a quarterback that you're trying to develop.

1079
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: Thanks for the call, Pete.

1080
00:57:46,280 --> 00:57:49,680
Speaker 3: And in regards to the defense, having a little bit

1081
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:52,160
Speaker 3: more speed on the back end, we could definitely see

1082
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 3: that a Cole Bishop, the safety that they drafted out

1083
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:58,120
Speaker 3: of Utah ran a four four or five. He's known

1084
00:57:58,200 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 3: for having speed. With the addition to him, we'll see

1085
00:58:01,520 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 3: how it plays out if he's on the field for

1086
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:07,240
Speaker 3: Week one and beyond or comes onto the field later

1087
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 3: on in the season, but he's somebody who could definitely

1088
00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:14,920
Speaker 3: add some speed to the secondary. Speaking of the defense,

1089
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: let's get to some of the press conference from defensive

1090
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,480
Speaker 3: coordinator Bobby Babbage. He spoke about Torell Bernard and his

1091
00:58:22,720 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: growth within the defense, especially going from his rookie season

1092
00:58:27,120 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 3: to feeling more confident as a second now third year player.

1093
00:58:30,760 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 3: Let's hear what he had to say on Trell.

1094
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:34,960
Speaker 8: Any of those guys would tell you when they come

1095
00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:37,560
Speaker 8: in as rookies, I'm probably not the easiest coach to

1096
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,919
Speaker 8: be around when the rookies, and the reason for that

1097
00:58:41,320 --> 00:58:45,640
Speaker 8: is if you can push them that hard when they

1098
00:58:45,680 --> 00:58:49,920
Speaker 8: first get here, then once they really get the idea

1099
00:58:49,960 --> 00:58:53,919
Speaker 8: of what we're doing, then it really calms down for him.

1100
00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,760
Speaker 8: So if you can create that chaos and anxiety for

1101
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:01,960
Speaker 8: them early, so I think he would say that he

1102
00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 8: was probably like coming into work as a rookie.

1103
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:06,720
Speaker 4: Like, oh God, here we go again, you know, But

1104
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 4: last year did really grow.

1105
00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:12,560
Speaker 8: And I think any in whether it's the player to

1106
00:59:12,640 --> 00:59:15,680
Speaker 8: coach relationships or the coach a player relationship, there's a

1107
00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 8: cent of trust that has to be earned, right. The

1108
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 8: coach has to show a player that you can help

1109
00:59:21,680 --> 00:59:24,880
Speaker 8: them grow and help them succeed, and in turn, the

1110
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 8: player has to show that they can be trustworthy and

1111
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:32,320
Speaker 8: we can give him the keys to the car and

1112
00:59:32,360 --> 00:59:34,000
Speaker 8: he's going to drive it and it's going to be

1113
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:35,920
Speaker 8: a smooth, smooth ride.

1114
00:59:35,720 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 4: You know.

1115
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:40,880
Speaker 8: And it grew, you know, but we were close when

1116
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:42,480
Speaker 8: he was a rookie and all those type of things,

1117
00:59:42,520 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 8: and I've known the whole time what type of player

1118
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,480
Speaker 8: he is and those type of things. It was just

1119
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:49,280
Speaker 8: a matter of when we could get them comfortable in

1120
00:59:49,320 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 8: executing at.

1121
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:50,880
Speaker 4: That high level.

1122
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:53,920
Speaker 2: It's similar to what we heard from Von Miller.

1123
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:55,840
Speaker 3: You know, you just got to believe in these guys,

1124
00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,320
Speaker 3: and these guys got to know how you feel about

1125
00:59:58,360 --> 01:00:01,640
Speaker 3: them and That's what Bobby Babbitt said about Torell Bernard,

1126
01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:05,000
Speaker 3: especially in that rookie season. We wanted to push a

1127
01:00:05,040 --> 01:00:08,040
Speaker 3: player like that. We want to push our rookies because

1128
01:00:08,080 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 3: we know it's going to be easier later on in

1129
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 3: their careers, and saying, hey, we knew the tools were there,

1130
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:18,120
Speaker 3: we just need to get him comfortable within this defense.

1131
01:00:18,200 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 2: It definitely paid off.

1132
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 3: He started in seventeen games last season, three interceptions, one

1133
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:26,040
Speaker 3: hundred and forty three total tackles, six and a half sacks.

1134
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 3: To well, Bernard was a difference maker, and I would

1135
01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 3: expect more of that in twenty twenty four me too.

1136
01:00:32,480 --> 01:00:35,800
Speaker 1: I think he's going to even be even more comfortable,

1137
01:00:36,880 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: even more experienced, even more confident, more and more capable

1138
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,520
Speaker 1: of elevating the play of those around him. I don't

1139
01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:48,880
Speaker 1: think there's anybody who wasn't impressed with the way he

1140
01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: acclimated himself to being the starting inside linebacker for the

1141
01:00:51,840 --> 01:00:54,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, because there was some real question marks. Oh

1142
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: yeah when he started.

1143
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,200
Speaker 3: Remember the offseason when we were like, who is going

1144
01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 3: to be the next Mike linebacker? He was out during

1145
01:01:01,240 --> 01:01:04,120
Speaker 3: training camp, he wasn't really even healthy yet, came in

1146
01:01:04,200 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 3: later on in the game to be a part of

1147
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 3: that competition won the job, and then Week one happens

1148
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 3: and everybody's like, all right, what.

1149
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:12,640
Speaker 11: Is this gonna look like?

1150
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it looked great, we thought, and it was right,

1151
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 1: and I hope I'm right again. But we thought at

1152
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: the beginning of last year that the defense, because Leslie

1153
01:01:23,080 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 1: Fraser was a very very good defensive coordinator still is.

1154
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,000
Speaker 1: The defense was always ranked in the top five in

1155
01:01:30,040 --> 01:01:34,880
Speaker 1: the NFL in every real category, points, yards, all of

1156
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: that stuff. They were always ranked very highly under Leslie Frasier,

1157
01:01:38,920 --> 01:01:42,320
Speaker 1: but they were very seldom really really good off the charts,

1158
01:01:42,360 --> 01:01:44,720
Speaker 1: like wow, did you see him dominant? They weren't dominant

1159
01:01:44,720 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 1: at any point, and we thought with Sean McDermott being

1160
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:50,120
Speaker 1: the defensive coordinator and play calleder last year, we might

1161
01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: see a difference, and then we did. They were not

1162
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: ranked as highly, but they were at times awesome, and

1163
01:01:57,560 --> 01:02:01,040
Speaker 1: they turned out more big plays, both turns and sacks,

1164
01:02:02,200 --> 01:02:05,880
Speaker 1: and that was strictly to play calling, and you know,

1165
01:02:05,920 --> 01:02:11,520
Speaker 1: with whatever the coordinator did with Sean McDermott. So this year,

1166
01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: with a more experienced linebacking corps and then a rinsed

1167
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:23,040
Speaker 1: out defensive line and a much more athletic secondary. I

1168
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 1: think with a play caller, whether it's Bobby Babbage or

1169
01:02:25,640 --> 01:02:28,520
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, if they can get some pressure at all

1170
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: up front, the athleticism in the back end's gonna shine

1171
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: through in turnovers and all of that stuff. And I've

1172
01:02:33,320 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 1: said it, I'm gonna keep saying it throughout the offseason.

1173
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 1: This team may start slow, but I think at the

1174
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 1: end of this season it could be the best version

1175
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: of the Buffalo Bills we've seen under Sean McDermott.

1176
01:02:45,680 --> 01:02:50,400
Speaker 3: Speaking of those play calling duties, Bobby Babbage also commented

1177
01:02:50,480 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 3: on his relationship with Sean McDermott and why he's already

1178
01:02:54,400 --> 01:02:58,360
Speaker 3: been up in McDermott's office several times trying to pick

1179
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 3: his brain on what he should do as a defensive

1180
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:03,600
Speaker 3: coin editor. Let's hear what Bobby Babbage had to say

1181
01:03:03,640 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: about that.

1182
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 8: I would say this, I'm a fool if I don't

1183
01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:10,880
Speaker 8: use Sean McDermott right. And in the end, he's the

1184
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:13,040
Speaker 8: head coach of the Buffalo Bills, not only because he's

1185
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:16,320
Speaker 8: a great leader and a great football mind, but he's

1186
01:03:16,720 --> 01:03:19,960
Speaker 8: made his name on defense. And I've always looked at

1187
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 8: Sean as a mentor, and already I'm picking his brain

1188
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 8: on things every day. Every day I'm in his office, Hey,

1189
01:03:26,800 --> 01:03:28,400
Speaker 8: how would you handle this? And I probably wear them

1190
01:03:28,400 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 8: out a little bit, you know, But I think a

1191
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:35,560
Speaker 8: lot of things happen for a reason, and I think

1192
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 8: that the position that we are currently in. You know,

1193
01:03:39,800 --> 01:03:42,400
Speaker 8: it's funny you look back to twenty eleven. I'm a

1194
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,400
Speaker 8: twenty six year old that thinks he knows football and

1195
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 8: I didn't know football, and now I'm here and you know,

1196
01:03:47,840 --> 01:03:52,160
Speaker 8: in this position with him, and you know, I would

1197
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:56,520
Speaker 8: hope and I do believe that that relationship that we've

1198
01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:59,080
Speaker 8: had for now what I've known him since eleven is

1199
01:03:59,560 --> 01:04:04,120
Speaker 8: thirteen years would help that. Right, anything you're in, you

1200
01:04:04,160 --> 01:04:07,479
Speaker 8: create that relationship to where you know there's there's From

1201
01:04:07,480 --> 01:04:10,360
Speaker 8: my perspective, there's a lot of respect and admiration for

1202
01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 8: the job he's done and what he's able to do

1203
01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 8: and the way he thinks about things.

1204
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 4: So I.

1205
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:20,880
Speaker 8: There's no doubt to me that that's a benefit, you know,

1206
01:04:20,920 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 8: having that previous relationship. If that answers your question.

1207
01:04:24,080 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 3: I like to hear that from Bobby Babbage, because you

1208
01:04:27,760 --> 01:04:31,640
Speaker 3: are preparing for an opportunity to call plays as the

1209
01:04:31,680 --> 01:04:34,680
Speaker 3: defensive coordinator. Again, we're not sure how that's going to

1210
01:04:34,760 --> 01:04:37,320
Speaker 3: play out. Sean McDermott said to check back in during

1211
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 3: training camp, but to not be afraid to use someone

1212
01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 3: like Sean McDermott when it comes to building the defense,

1213
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 3: when it comes to life as a first time defensive coordinator.

1214
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 3: I think that that speaks highly of who Bobby Babbage

1215
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 3: is as a coach in this league. To know that, hey,

1216
01:04:57,280 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 3: maybe it might be McDermott calling the plays. Maybe it

1217
01:04:59,720 --> 01:05:02,840
Speaker 3: might be Babbage calling the plays this season. We're not sure,

1218
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:07,480
Speaker 3: but he's not going to not that there's competition, but

1219
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:11,080
Speaker 3: he's not going to avoid going to the head coach

1220
01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:14,760
Speaker 3: for help. He is going to McDermott every single day

1221
01:05:14,840 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 3: to pick his brain.

1222
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:16,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

1223
01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: And most people, you know, they don't really understand how

1224
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 1: coaching staff works. I'm not saying I do. I've never

1225
01:05:20,960 --> 01:05:25,560
Speaker 1: been a coach, but from my experience, a coaching staff

1226
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:27,560
Speaker 1: is a lot like the roster in the locker room.

1227
01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:30,320
Speaker 1: They're a team. They spend a ton of time together.

1228
01:05:30,800 --> 01:05:32,840
Speaker 1: You know, these are the guys that are grinding out

1229
01:05:32,880 --> 01:05:36,000
Speaker 1: eighteen hour days during I mean, they just they live it,

1230
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: eat it, drink it, sleep it, and they wake up

1231
01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:43,280
Speaker 1: to it every morning and they grind over every detail

1232
01:05:43,360 --> 01:05:45,720
Speaker 1: and they do it together and they help each other.

1233
01:05:46,040 --> 01:05:50,240
Speaker 1: And a healthy coaching staff is really important because guys

1234
01:05:50,320 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 1: like Bobby Babbage, there's stuff that Sean McDermott has experienced

1235
01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,440
Speaker 1: and known and dealt with that he has not, and

1236
01:05:56,520 --> 01:05:58,760
Speaker 1: to be able to have the relationship to go and say, hey, coach,

1237
01:05:58,960 --> 01:06:00,720
Speaker 1: you know what'd you do And he'll say, well, we

1238
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,960
Speaker 1: did this because we had this player in this player.

1239
01:06:04,040 --> 01:06:05,840
Speaker 1: Now we don't have a player like that player or

1240
01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:09,720
Speaker 1: that player, but this team we have this, so let's

1241
01:06:09,760 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 1: try and handle it this, you know, and they do

1242
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: it together. They and it's coaching is nothing but managing people.

1243
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,080
Speaker 1: I mean, that's what it is. Certainly you have to

1244
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: have a huge level of x's and o's knowledge and

1245
01:06:22,320 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 1: strategy and tactics and all of that stuff. But you

1246
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: also you don't get to play. You got to get

1247
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: other guys to carry all that out. So it's about

1248
01:06:31,200 --> 01:06:33,840
Speaker 1: managing people. And the coaching staff is no different. So

1249
01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: these guys are all in it together. There's like twenty,

1250
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,640
Speaker 1: there's thirty guys on these coaching staffs in the NFL

1251
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:42,440
Speaker 1: from at every level, from the top guy through the coordinators.

1252
01:06:42,480 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: There's three coordinators. There's assistance for every position. There's assistant

1253
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: assistance for every you know what I mean. So there's

1254
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:52,080
Speaker 1: a ton of guys in the room and they all

1255
01:06:52,120 --> 01:06:54,680
Speaker 1: got to be on that young guys down the bottom,

1256
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,840
Speaker 1: the assistant to the defensive backs coach, the assistant to

1257
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 1: the running backs coach, are all on the ascension of

1258
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: trying to become a full assistant coach to a position,

1259
01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:08,720
Speaker 1: then a passing game coordinator, then a full offensive coordinator.

1260
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 1: You know, then I had you know, it goes up

1261
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:13,040
Speaker 1: through it and all these guys are on that path

1262
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 1: and they have been on it, and they understand where

1263
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:19,160
Speaker 1: these guys are at. I was recounting a story today

1264
01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:22,760
Speaker 1: at practice. You go on the coaching you go on

1265
01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:25,760
Speaker 1: these team charters and they may be there. Back in

1266
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 1: the day, there was like a charter for a team

1267
01:07:28,160 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: had five former head coaches on the staff. Five wow, right,

1268
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,640
Speaker 1: like Sam Weish, John Gruden. You go down the list

1269
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:37,600
Speaker 1: of all these guys that have been you know, Tony Dungee.

1270
01:07:37,600 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 1: All these guys are on this plane. And the guy

1271
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 1: gets on and says. He says, this guy over here

1272
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:45,480
Speaker 1: is that you're a quality control guy. Right, He goes, guy,

1273
01:07:45,560 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: he's just starting out, he's in a dark room breaking

1274
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:50,520
Speaker 1: down film all day every day.

1275
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 4: And he goes.

1276
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, yeah, he goes and he goes coach,

1277
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 1: he goes. All these guys who's here started as an

1278
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,240
Speaker 1: offense as quality control guy, all of those head coaches,

1279
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:01,800
Speaker 1: they all raise their hand, they all did, They go yeah,

1280
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 1: he goes, you got to do your job. You got

1281
01:08:03,320 --> 01:08:03,880
Speaker 1: to do your job.

1282
01:08:03,880 --> 01:08:04,280
Speaker 4: We're all in.

1283
01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: We've been there where you're at. And that's kind of

1284
01:08:06,920 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 1: the camaraderie it takes to do this. Bob Babbage knows it.

1285
01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: He's known Sean McDermott since he cut his teeth in

1286
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:16,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. You know, they've got a relationship and he

1287
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:18,280
Speaker 1: knows man, he got I got a I got a

1288
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 1: question man, And he can go up and talk to

1289
01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 1: him like a friend, like a mentor, say, coach, what

1290
01:08:23,120 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: do you you know? Here's what I'm thinking, and Sean

1291
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:28,559
Speaker 1: will go yeah that yes, that's you're exactly right, or

1292
01:08:28,560 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: how about this plus this coaching stat and one of

1293
01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:37,320
Speaker 1: the big questions for teams that ask head coaching candidates

1294
01:08:37,479 --> 01:08:42,360
Speaker 1: when they come in, who's your Who am I hiring

1295
01:08:42,360 --> 01:08:44,320
Speaker 1: as your Who are you hiring as your coordinators? Who

1296
01:08:44,360 --> 01:08:48,200
Speaker 1: are those guys? Because they're vastly important, you know, they're

1297
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,280
Speaker 1: vastly important. Coach, when you're up for a head coaching position,

1298
01:08:51,720 --> 01:08:54,040
Speaker 1: you got to have all that, Like I'm I know this,

1299
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:58,040
Speaker 1: I know Leslie Frasier, I know Brian day Ball. Those

1300
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: guys are going to be my coordinators and they're gonn

1301
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 1: to go. I'm gonna bring this guy over from Carolina.

1302
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,200
Speaker 1: They know all that. So it's that relationship. I mean,

1303
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:11,960
Speaker 1: we talk about Josh and Steph Diggs and all they

1304
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: and on how they relate to each other and all

1305
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: the players. Man, the coaching staff is absolutely just as.

1306
01:09:16,520 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 3: Important, because if you're not rowing in the right direction

1307
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,240
Speaker 3: up there, you're not going to be rowing in the

1308
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 3: right direction on the team right.

1309
01:09:22,920 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: And if you got your person down from there, if

1310
01:09:25,439 --> 01:09:27,559
Speaker 1: you have a personal agenda as a coach or assistant

1311
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 1: coach and you're trying to coach so you can move

1312
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,840
Speaker 1: up or or so that you look good and that

1313
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: coach looks bad, you know, like Bobby Babbage wasn't over

1314
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:40,000
Speaker 1: here trying to sabotage John Butler's career. You know, he

1315
01:09:40,080 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 1: wasn't over here trying to say, you know, he's not

1316
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:43,240
Speaker 1: sabotaging any of the other guys on the staff, so

1317
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,760
Speaker 1: that when an opening comes up, he's the guy. That's

1318
01:09:45,800 --> 01:09:48,320
Speaker 1: not the way it works, you know, you you elevate

1319
01:09:48,320 --> 01:09:50,559
Speaker 1: everybody around you. That's that's a healthy coaching staff. And

1320
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 1: it's not always that way. But when it's not, there

1321
01:09:53,680 --> 01:09:55,479
Speaker 1: are symptoms of it and you got to fix those.

1322
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:59,880
Speaker 1: But it's really good to hear, you know, we've it's

1323
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,400
Speaker 1: it's been really good to hear the new guy coming

1324
01:10:03,439 --> 01:10:06,000
Speaker 1: in and all this information. The rhetoric coming out of

1325
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,280
Speaker 1: the building has been real positive about how this new

1326
01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:10,720
Speaker 1: staff is coming together and collaborating.

1327
01:10:10,760 --> 01:10:13,439
Speaker 3: I mean, the players love Bobby Babbage and they also

1328
01:10:13,479 --> 01:10:16,200
Speaker 3: love Joe Brady. To hear these guys speak about the

1329
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:20,000
Speaker 3: new offensive coordinator defensive coordinator, I think it's everybody really

1330
01:10:20,040 --> 01:10:22,719
Speaker 3: excited for what's to come this season. Bobby was also

1331
01:10:22,920 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 3: asked about the play calling duties the opportunity that comes

1332
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:29,720
Speaker 3: with that, and he said, I've been preparing for this

1333
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 3: moment my entire coaching career. I'm not saying I'm ready

1334
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,599
Speaker 3: for this moment, because he said, nobody is truly ready

1335
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,800
Speaker 3: for anything until they do that thing. But he said,

1336
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,120
Speaker 3: I am as prepared as I can be for that

1337
01:10:44,240 --> 01:10:46,800
Speaker 3: opportunity should it come my way. But he said, at

1338
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,960
Speaker 3: the end of the day, all I want to do

1339
01:10:49,560 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 3: is win. Help this team win a Super Bowl, Help

1340
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:55,040
Speaker 3: this team get to a Super Bowl. He also spoke

1341
01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:59,519
Speaker 3: about the addition of Olympic gold medal wrestler Gable Stevenson. Well,

1342
01:10:59,560 --> 01:11:05,000
Speaker 3: any NFL snaps in his entire life, but this coaching staff,

1343
01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,240
Speaker 3: if there are trades out there that make you an

1344
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,640
Speaker 3: elite athlete, you better believe they're gonna go after it

1345
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:15,120
Speaker 3: and see if they're interested in possibly taking up a

1346
01:11:15,240 --> 01:11:18,839
Speaker 3: roster spot, especially in the off season. Here's what Babbage

1347
01:11:18,880 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 3: had to say about Stevenson.

1348
01:11:21,360 --> 01:11:22,840
Speaker 4: What's fresh, it's new to us.

1349
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 8: I think there's no question we know our head coach's

1350
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:30,320
Speaker 8: background and his passion for that sport, right and obviously

1351
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:34,920
Speaker 8: Gable's career speaks for itself, you know, But we got

1352
01:11:34,960 --> 01:11:37,879
Speaker 8: to start at ground zero. We gotta start at ground zero. Obviously,

1353
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 8: there's some whether you want to call it, you know,

1354
01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,559
Speaker 8: physical tools, athletic traits, things that hopefully they translate for him.

1355
01:11:46,800 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 8: And going back to it, you know, start at ground zero.

1356
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:53,519
Speaker 8: Let's start it just the small details of the position

1357
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,880
Speaker 8: and see where it goes from there. And you never

1358
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:59,200
Speaker 8: know how fast can they learn until you start somewhere

1359
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 8: and okay, he's got step one. Okay, next he's got

1360
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 8: step two. And how fast that happens is how fast

1361
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,519
Speaker 8: you move along that that trajectory of coaching and adding

1362
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:10,560
Speaker 8: things on him.

1363
01:12:10,880 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 3: They're doing the same thing right now on the offensive

1364
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 3: side of the football with Travis Clayton, the offensive lineman

1365
01:12:16,640 --> 01:12:19,600
Speaker 3: they drafted in the seventh round, who came from a

1366
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,880
Speaker 3: rugby rugby background, a boxing background, has never played a

1367
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,800
Speaker 3: snap of NFL ball in.

1368
01:12:26,760 --> 01:12:27,799
Speaker 2: His entire life.

1369
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 3: But as a tall guy who's fast, you've got Gable Stevenson,

1370
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 3: who is a big athlete who has won a lot

1371
01:12:38,360 --> 01:12:40,080
Speaker 3: in his career on the mat.

1372
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:44,800
Speaker 2: Take that into a field. We'll see what happens. It's

1373
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,400
Speaker 2: worth it, worth trying it out.

1374
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,960
Speaker 1: It's a little bit and people ask, well, And there

1375
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 1: was a couple of weeks ago I mentioned this the

1376
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,800
Speaker 1: other day, there's this big conversation going on in the

1377
01:12:53,920 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: in the national media around the NBA playoffs and the NFL.

1378
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 1: Could there are there in players who could play in

1379
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:03,120
Speaker 1: the NFL and there are NFL players who could play

1380
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: in the NBA. My stances of being a little bit

1381
01:13:05,920 --> 01:13:08,439
Speaker 1: like this. Certainly they're athletes who could cross over, but

1382
01:13:08,479 --> 01:13:11,400
Speaker 1: the skills set is completely different. You're asking a carpenter

1383
01:13:11,760 --> 01:13:15,760
Speaker 1: to be a plumber or an electrician, you know, to

1384
01:13:15,800 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: be a paver. You know, it's certainly they've they've been

1385
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,320
Speaker 1: around construction a lot, but they're you know, like pro sports,

1386
01:13:23,320 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: but they're not. It's not the same skill set. You know,

1387
01:13:27,040 --> 01:13:30,160
Speaker 1: a guy like you know, some of these athletes and

1388
01:13:30,200 --> 01:13:32,840
Speaker 1: you name it. Those elite athletes will be eleade athletes

1389
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,800
Speaker 1: wherever they go. Could they foster a skill set that

1390
01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,679
Speaker 1: would allow them to be successful. That's what we're talking

1391
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:44,120
Speaker 1: about with Stevenson and Gable. Gable, Stevenson and Clayton. They've

1392
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: played at a high level and competed at a high

1393
01:13:46,280 --> 01:13:50,920
Speaker 1: level in these other sports, you know, the the top

1394
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:56,559
Speaker 1: the Olympic wrestling. Freestyle wrestling is a very physical I mean,

1395
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,240
Speaker 1: is the the physical toughness sport that there is is

1396
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:07,320
Speaker 1: And the guy's got athleticism that's elite. Can he learn

1397
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: enough about playing football to use that elite athleticism well

1398
01:14:13,640 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: enough to make a difference for an NFL team. And

1399
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: it sounds simple and it is. But in the words

1400
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,679
Speaker 1: of Marv Levy, it is simple, but it's not easy.

1401
01:14:23,439 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 1: And we'll see how fast he can learn.

1402
01:14:25,600 --> 01:14:28,600
Speaker 3: How cool is it to be an athlete where you

1403
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:33,280
Speaker 3: are so good at your sport that another league wants you.

1404
01:14:33,439 --> 01:14:36,120
Speaker 3: I think that is like the epitome of you have

1405
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:37,320
Speaker 3: made it in the.

1406
01:14:37,240 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 2: World, in the world of all these athletes, in the

1407
01:14:39,600 --> 01:14:40,360
Speaker 2: world of sport.

1408
01:14:40,880 --> 01:14:44,880
Speaker 3: You have excelled at your sport so much that another

1409
01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,600
Speaker 3: league wants to come get you. I think that's incredible.

1410
01:14:47,800 --> 01:14:50,680
Speaker 3: How cool for Gable Stevenson, for Travis Clayton to have

1411
01:14:50,720 --> 01:14:53,760
Speaker 3: this opportunity right now. Can't wait to see what they

1412
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 3: do with it. As we continue on in off season

1413
01:14:57,479 --> 01:15:00,479
Speaker 3: training with mandatory mini camp coming up next to week.

1414
01:15:00,800 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 3: Greg Grussoe and at Oliver spoke to the media earlier today.

1415
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:07,240
Speaker 3: We've got that coming up next on One Bill's Live.

Speaker 3: Russoe spoke to the media earlier right after practice finished,

1422
01:15:42,240 --> 01:15:45,960

1423
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:50,480
Speaker 3: videos on Instagram and social media of him riding horses

1424
01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:55,719
Speaker 3: down the road anywhere going like twenty five miles thirty

1425
01:15:55,880 --> 01:15:59,479
Speaker 3: thirty miles per hour. Incredible. He is one heck of

1426
01:15:59,479 --> 01:16:02,720
Speaker 3: an athlete. He spoke to the media, So let's hear

1427
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:06,760

Speaker 12: Football, just yeah, pick up where I left off last

1429
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 12: year and just continue to grow as a person, as

1430
01:16:15,120 --> 01:16:17,479
Speaker 12: a player, as a teammate, as a vet on the team.

1431
01:16:17,600 --> 01:16:20,479
Speaker 12: Just continue to just add to my game, use the

Speaker 12: guys around me, uh to help me get better and

1433
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 12: help them get better, and we just feed off each other.

1434
01:16:25,960 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 12: You know, you need help to to get to where

1435
01:16:27,880 --> 01:16:30,679
Speaker 12: I got last year. It took all four of us, shit,

1436

Speaker 12: all of eleven of us for me to accomplish what

1437
01:16:33,560 --> 01:16:36,479
Speaker 12: I did. So, you know, just having that supporting cast

1438
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:39,439
Speaker 12: and being a supporting cast for them, it takes all

1457
01:17:22,880 --> 01:17:25,920
Speaker 12: Uh, I wouldn't say it's the same thing. Different coaching style,

1458
01:17:25,960 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 12: different personalities, but you know the system hasn't changed, so

1459

01:17:36,760 --> 01:17:39,840
Speaker 12: I mean same and same and different. I'd say same

1462
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 12: and different.

1463
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, so I know there's more.

1464
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 9: To you playing defensive mind of just size for group

1465
01:17:45,800 --> 01:17:50,559

Speaker 6: do you make of the size of after this year.

1469
01:17:57,120 --> 01:17:59,840
Speaker 12: I mean I to be honest, like I said, he'd

1470
01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:01,800
Speaker 12: a I said what he did in wrestling, I don't

1471
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 12: know how that'll translate to football. You know, Like he

1472
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 12: moved well, I ain't a lot. He used his hand, well,

1473
01:18:09,800 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 12: he moved well. But I don't know how that'll translate

1474
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:15,680
Speaker 12: to football. But I mean to have a guy of

1475
01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,759
Speaker 12: his caliber just to be around him from the mental

1476
01:18:18,800 --> 01:18:22,000
Speaker 12: aspect of what it takes to get in that arena

1477
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 12: when it's just you, cause we go to war with

1478
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 12: eleven guys. He go wa go to war by itself,

1479
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:30,679
Speaker 12: it's just him and his opponent. So he he knows

1480
01:18:30,720 --> 01:18:33,200
Speaker 12: what it's like just having that one on one battle

1481
01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:34,960
Speaker 12: and he go to war for six minutes by his

1482
01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:35,400
Speaker 12: own self.

1483
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 4: It's just him and a and another opponent.

1484
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:38,640
Speaker 12: I was talking to him to day early in the

1485
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,800
Speaker 12: hot tub, and he was just elaborating on how it

1486
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 12: feels to be in that moment in that arena.

1487
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 4: He was telling me how, uh.

1488
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:48,200
Speaker 12: Like he done something so great that it almost feel

1489
01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,320
Speaker 12: fake because with the eight second, you know, with the

1490
01:18:51,360 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 12: comeback or whatever, he was leading, and he was down

1491
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:54,800
Speaker 12: and the in eight seconds he had won.

1492
01:18:55,479 --> 01:18:57,720
Speaker 4: And uh, I don't know.

1493
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 12: Just like I say, he wanna gold metal, you know

1494
01:19:01,360 --> 01:19:03,200
Speaker 12: what I'm saying, so that in his own self is

1495
01:19:03,320 --> 01:19:04,479
Speaker 12: just you.

1496
01:19:04,439 --> 01:19:06,080
Speaker 4: Know, I pick his brain a little bit more.

1497
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,519
Speaker 12: But from the from like the first couple of conversations

1498
01:19:08,560 --> 01:19:10,120
Speaker 12: I had with him, seemed like a really good, good,

1499
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 12: really good dude.

1500
01:19:11,240 --> 01:19:12,760
Speaker 4: On the football field, he moves well.

1501
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:17,759
Speaker 12: I think wrestling definitely trends uh uh Like the transition

1502
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 12: to football is definitely there with the with the push

1503
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 12: pull in the body moving and encountering and stuff like that,

1504
01:19:22,120 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 12: especially at D line. I think that'll uh translate well.

1505
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 12: But I mean, I don't know, you know, so like

1506
01:19:28,600 --> 01:19:30,439
Speaker 12: he he just learned how to play football. I wouldn't

1507
01:19:30,479 --> 01:19:33,280
Speaker 12: put any expectations out. I don't wanna, you know, but

1508
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 12: I think he will be alright though.

1509
01:19:35,160 --> 01:19:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, you say, like.

1510
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,720
Speaker 13: Season gets over, do you turn the page right away

1511
01:19:38,840 --> 01:19:40,120
Speaker 13: or if you go back and look at some of

1512
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:43,160
Speaker 13: the clips that you kick itself? Uh, what do you

1513
01:19:43,200 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 13: take well or what you get to work?

1514
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:45,160
Speaker 4: Yeah?

1515
01:19:45,320 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 12: Every year you you take a game, you break it down,

1516
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 12: you see what you did good, what you didn't do good?

1517
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 12: Where you can get better, and uh you just start

1518
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:55,080
Speaker 12: to approach every all season, I do the same thing

1519
01:19:55,280 --> 01:19:58,280
Speaker 12: and uh so, yeah, I just break it down. See

1520
01:19:58,280 --> 01:19:59,920
Speaker 12: what I need to get better, See where I wasn't

1521
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:02,639
Speaker 12: so good, Understand why I wasn't so good.

1522
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:04,040
Speaker 4: Understand how they was attacking me.

1523
01:20:04,160 --> 01:20:07,960
Speaker 12: Understand how they're gonna continue to attack me, how they're

1524
01:20:07,960 --> 01:20:09,800
Speaker 12: gonna game plan for me, how I need to be

1525
01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,240
Speaker 12: ready for their game plan, things like that.

1526
01:20:12,320 --> 01:20:13,280
Speaker 4: So is it.

1527
01:20:15,600 --> 01:20:17,680
Speaker 12: Really I ain't gonna say that. I'm gonna give it

1528
01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:20,960
Speaker 12: a Sky report on myself. No, we can't get a

1529
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 12: scot report. They might hit it. So, you know, I

1530
01:20:24,200 --> 01:20:26,160
Speaker 12: just break my own self down and why I need

1531
01:20:26,200 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 12: to get better. And like I said, I can't give

1532
01:20:28,400 --> 01:20:30,840
Speaker 12: a Scalt report. That's that's my Scalle report. They gotta

1533
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,599
Speaker 12: do their job just like I gotta do my job.

1534
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:37,360
Speaker 3: That was at Oliver's always fun to hear from him.

1535
01:20:38,120 --> 01:20:42,160
Speaker 3: Entering his sixth NSL NFL season, I can't believe that

1536
01:20:42,280 --> 01:20:45,639
Speaker 3: he You know, Oliver is considered as a veteran now.

1537
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,160
Speaker 3: Just yesterday he was drafted by the Bills. That was

1538
01:20:49,160 --> 01:20:52,920
Speaker 3: in twenty nineteen, his first season with his extension as

1539
01:20:52,960 --> 01:20:54,720
Speaker 3: well his extensions.

1540
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: And we saw and what I was talking about with

1541
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:01,960
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson, some guys, it ain't about the money. He

1542
01:21:02,880 --> 01:21:07,240
Speaker 1: felt obligated to play harder after he got paid big time.

1543
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,439
Speaker 1: He had as good a year as he's had last year.

1544
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:15,360
Speaker 1: He was energized, was on the field, had even I mean,

1545
01:21:15,479 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: you could sell right when he signed the deal what

1546
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,320
Speaker 1: that deal was going to do to him, and he

1547
01:21:20,320 --> 01:21:23,519
Speaker 1: held on to it the whole time. He He's always

1548
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:25,360
Speaker 1: been a high motor guy, but man, oh man, he

1549
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:28,080
Speaker 1: had an edge this last year that we hadn't seen before.

1550
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: And bless his heart, here he comes again for another year.

1551
01:21:30,560 --> 01:21:35,400
Speaker 1: That Ed Oliver is a I think he's become a dependable,

1552
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,680
Speaker 1: really good player with flashes of really good play. I'm

1553
01:21:39,720 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: happy for him and it's good to see him back.

1554
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,200
Speaker 1: He was like kind of last guy standing in the

1555
01:21:44,200 --> 01:21:45,679
Speaker 1: defensive line room this offseason.

1556
01:21:45,880 --> 01:21:48,240
Speaker 3: Signed a deal that had a lot of incentives in it,

1557
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:51,240
Speaker 3: which he met quite a few of those, having a

1558
01:21:51,400 --> 01:21:53,919
Speaker 3: nine and a half sack season.

1559
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:55,439
Speaker 2: It wasn't just.

1560
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:59,560
Speaker 3: At Oliver and von Miller on the podium after practice

1561
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 3: heard from a slough of defensive lineman Greg Russo was

1562
01:22:03,479 --> 01:22:06,080
Speaker 3: also a part of that group. So let's get over

1563
01:22:06,120 --> 01:22:07,719
Speaker 3: to Greg Russo's press conference.

1564
01:22:08,400 --> 01:22:10,720
Speaker 8: Oh, like you get drafted, you come in, there's a

1565
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 8: lucky trying to figure everything out.

1566
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,040
Speaker 4: Is wake up one morning going into.

1567
01:22:15,240 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 6: What is it?

1568
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,280
Speaker 8: Is it you think back about that time and how

1569
01:22:19,320 --> 01:22:22,760
Speaker 8: far you come or how far maybe in your own

1570
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:23,639
Speaker 8: eyes you still want to.

1571
01:22:23,560 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 14: Go, Oh, yeah, for sure, I'm blessed to be where

1572
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,400
Speaker 14: I'm at right now. But yeah, like you said, time

1573
01:22:28,439 --> 01:22:31,080
Speaker 14: really flies, Like one minute you're just getting drafted, just

1574
01:22:31,120 --> 01:22:33,000
Speaker 14: getting up here, and then next thing you know, it's

1575
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:34,599
Speaker 14: a year four. So yeah, I'm just trying to stay

1576
01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:37,280
Speaker 14: in the moment, but definitely i'd be looking back sometimes

1577
01:22:37,320 --> 01:22:38,519
Speaker 14: I'm like, dang, it's crazy.

1578
01:22:38,720 --> 01:22:41,080
Speaker 8: How much pressure do you put on yourself going into

1579
01:22:41,720 --> 01:22:41,960
Speaker 8: you know.

1580
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,760
Speaker 1: Very important, like if every season is important, but you know,

1581
01:22:45,800 --> 01:22:47,960
Speaker 1: as you move along almost more important.

1582
01:22:48,080 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 4: For sure? How much pressure I put the most pressure

1583
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:51,599
Speaker 4: on myself?

1584
01:22:51,640 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 14: Like nobody has higher expectations for me than I have

1585
01:22:54,479 --> 01:22:57,920
Speaker 14: for myself, you know, and just honestly it comes from

1586
01:22:57,960 --> 01:22:59,960
Speaker 14: me is wanting to be great and also just wanted

1587
01:23:00,080 --> 01:23:02,000
Speaker 14: to help my my teammates out, help my team win,

1588
01:23:02,040 --> 01:23:03,720
Speaker 14: you know what I'm saying, Like it's a it's a

1589
01:23:03,760 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 14: team sport, and when one player is playing good, you

1590
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:08,040
Speaker 14: can help out somebody else on your on the defense

1591
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:10,120
Speaker 14: and vice versa. So just trying to go out there

1592
01:23:10,120 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 14: for my best sofward and help the team win and

1593
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:12,960
Speaker 14: also ball out.

1594
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,479
Speaker 13: You got that fIF year option picked out. You're also

1595
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 13: over with discussion. It's a pretty easy for you to

1596
01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 13: separate what's going on the field and let your agent.

1597
01:23:20,800 --> 01:23:22,200
Speaker 6: Take care of Definitely.

1598
01:23:22,240 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 14: I've always like kind of let let other things play out,

1599
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 14: like when I was going into the NFL draft and

1600
01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:30,320
Speaker 14: stuff like, and then I just do when I'm playing

1601
01:23:30,320 --> 01:23:32,200
Speaker 14: football where I'm in the building and I'm working and

1602
01:23:32,200 --> 01:23:34,160
Speaker 14: putting the work in, that's what I'm on, Like, that's

1603
01:23:34,160 --> 01:23:35,720
Speaker 14: what I'm focused on. I'm locked in on that and

1604
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:39,200
Speaker 14: all the other stuff. Just let let God handle the rest.

1605
01:23:39,479 --> 01:23:43,640
Speaker 5: What are some ways you guys are emphasizing getting to

1606
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 5: know each other.

1607
01:23:44,160 --> 01:23:45,800
Speaker 14: Obviously we got a lot of new players, so just

1608
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 14: getting to know each other so we could just have

1609
01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:49,800
Speaker 14: that bond, and I feel like teams will have a

1610
01:23:49,800 --> 01:23:52,080
Speaker 14: good bond, Like it really shows out there on the

1611
01:23:52,080 --> 01:23:54,599
Speaker 14: field on Sundays when when you're connected and you got

1612
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 14: that you build that trust for each other over the offseason,

1613
01:23:57,800 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 14: there's more.

1614
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:04,200
Speaker 4: Years. Yeah, how is it different else?

1615
01:24:04,240 --> 01:24:05,840
Speaker 6: At the new faces? He supposed.

1616
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:08,679
Speaker 4: It's been cool.

1617
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 14: You know, Uh, in life, people come and go, So

1618
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:13,599
Speaker 14: it's been cool to to see to see the new

1619
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 14: guys who came in and kind of learn about their stories,

1620
01:24:16,080 --> 01:24:18,559
Speaker 14: learn where they're from, learning what colleges they went to,

1621
01:24:18,760 --> 01:24:21,240
Speaker 14: and kind of just uh just shoot it with them

1622
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:21,920
Speaker 14: and it's chopping up.

1623
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 4: It's been It's been pretty fun.

1624
01:24:23,120 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 6: What are you thought of?

1625
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:26,360
Speaker 4: Uh? Javon Solomon so far? I like him.

1626
01:24:26,360 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 14: I like him real twitchy, real bendy. Uh got good hands. Uh,

1627
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:32,679
Speaker 14: he's really mature, ask a lot of questions. You could

1628
01:24:32,680 --> 01:24:34,559
Speaker 14: tell that he wants it and he's not just all

1629
01:24:34,600 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 14: off variety. He's trying to get better every day and

1630
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:37,720
Speaker 14: and he's doing just that.

1631
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:40,800
Speaker 13: You know, what's your guy? Your whole career?

1632
01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:41,560
Speaker 14: How do you?

1633
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:44,920
Speaker 4: How do you like the Parkers man?

1634
01:24:44,960 --> 01:24:47,320
Speaker 14: Coach West has been great, just him breaking everything down

1635
01:24:47,600 --> 01:24:49,720
Speaker 14: into the detail that he's been breaking it down to

1636
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,720
Speaker 14: and also this energy that he brings out on the

1637
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:53,559
Speaker 14: field and he really knows what he's talking about. So,

1638
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:55,360
Speaker 14: I mean, I'm excited to work with coach West. He's

1639
01:24:55,360 --> 01:24:56,519
Speaker 14: a hell of a coach, hell of a guy.

1640
01:24:58,360 --> 01:25:01,760
Speaker 6: This about coach, you don't getting some of the things

1641
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:02,000
Speaker 6: that you.

1642
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 14: Learn, some things I'll miss, uh. Coach he was big

1643
01:25:08,600 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 14: about the details. But then again so as coach so's

1644
01:25:11,439 --> 01:25:13,840
Speaker 14: coach West. They were working together last year, you know,

1645
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 14: so there's a lot of those same qualities that coach

1646
01:25:16,560 --> 01:25:18,400
Speaker 14: he had to carry over to coach Coach West. And

1647
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,439
Speaker 14: it's all it's all really good qualities and it's all

1648
01:25:20,720 --> 01:25:24,160
Speaker 14: just them trying to push us and leaving no stone

1649
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:26,479
Speaker 14: unturned and trying to get the best out of each

1650
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:28,040
Speaker 14: and every one of us in that room.

1651
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,120
Speaker 13: How he didn't have the kind of seasons to like

1652
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:34,799
Speaker 13: he seen something really focused and drop.

1653
01:25:35,080 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 4: To get back his Yeah, and I mean Vaughan.

1654
01:25:38,920 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 14: One thing about Vaughan since the day he's gotten here,

1655
01:25:41,360 --> 01:25:45,000
Speaker 14: he's had the same consistent attitude and work ethic day

1656
01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:46,840
Speaker 14: after day. So you know, Vonn is one of those

1657
01:25:46,880 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 14: dudes that you don't really have to worry about what

1658
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 14: that work he's gonna put in, or his intent and

1659
01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 14: what he wants for himself or the team. He's one

1660
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:54,599
Speaker 14: of those guys who puts the team first, and he's

1661
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:55,960
Speaker 14: gonna he's gonna keep doing this thing?

1662
01:25:57,600 --> 01:26:02,800
Speaker 4: What could all of them?

1663
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,680
Speaker 14: I feel like year after year, there's no oh, I

1664
01:26:05,720 --> 01:26:09,320
Speaker 14: did this good because every single season is it's kind

1665
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:10,840
Speaker 14: of like a new life in a video game. So

1666
01:26:10,880 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 14: you got to go out there and earn it, whether

1667
01:26:12,240 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 14: it's in the run in the past, I can get

1668
01:26:14,160 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 14: better at everything.

1669
01:26:15,320 --> 01:26:16,880

Speaker 3: Corgan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1683
01:27:08,760 --> 01:27:13,000
Speaker 3: Buffalo Bills, and first we will go with Ryan. He says,

1684
01:27:13,200 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 3: this new look secondary with Edwards, Bishop and Company, I'm

1685
01:27:16,560 --> 01:27:19,559
Speaker 3: curious to see how the new players gel together within

1686
01:27:19,640 --> 01:27:23,280
Speaker 3: that unit. Hey, I'm curious too to see what the

1687
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:27,600
Speaker 3: secondary will look like without so many familiar faces a

1688
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:30,280
Speaker 3: part of it, Mike Hyde and Jordan Koyer being the

1689
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 3: top two players.

1690
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,439
Speaker 2: What does that safety unit look like? Ye As we

1691
01:27:34,600 --> 01:27:36,519
Speaker 2: approach the twenty thirty four season.

1692
01:27:36,360 --> 01:27:38,320
Speaker 1: Here's what I think. I think this team's gonna be

1693
01:27:38,320 --> 01:27:41,519
Speaker 1: able to hang with people. Offensively, Josh gives them an edge,

1694
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:45,160
Speaker 1: The offensive line gives them an edge. They're running game

1695
01:27:45,240 --> 01:27:46,720
Speaker 1: is gonna give them an edge. And their ability to

1696
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:49,120
Speaker 1: throw the football, and they've got guys they can depend

1697
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: on in a pinch, like Dalton Kincaid and Shaquille Shakir.

1698
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,160
Speaker 1: They got guys that have done it, so they're not

1699
01:27:54,160 --> 01:27:56,320
Speaker 1: gonna be bereft of talent. And I think they're gonna

1700
01:27:56,360 --> 01:27:58,400
Speaker 1: be able to move the football. Josh's gonna get first down,

1701
01:27:58,439 --> 01:28:00,800
Speaker 1: so they gonna do it exactly like they have. They're

1702
01:28:00,800 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: gonna be very highly ranked in their ability to get

1703
01:28:03,240 --> 01:28:10,840
Speaker 1: first downs and convert on third downs. So defensively, you know,

1704
01:28:10,880 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 1: you gotta think, Okay, what's it gonna look like. They're

1705
01:28:12,800 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: gonna have a little bit of a margin of error,

1706
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:17,160
Speaker 1: you would think, but with the athletes in the back

1707
01:28:17,240 --> 01:28:22,000
Speaker 1: end with the new coaching staff and the if it'll

1708
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:24,439
Speaker 1: come out before the season whether Sean's gonna call the

1709
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,320
Speaker 1: plays or not. But if Babbage is calling the plays,

1710
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:30,200
Speaker 1: he's an unknown commodity. Nobody's gonna know, so they may

1711
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:32,840
Speaker 1: get some mileage out of that. And if they say

1712
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:34,639
Speaker 1: that Babbage is gonna call the plays and they don't

1713
01:28:34,640 --> 01:28:36,200
Speaker 1: know who exactly, if it's gonna be that, and then

1714
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,519
Speaker 1: Sewan decides he's gonna call them secretly or for a

1715
01:28:39,520 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: different series or two, they give it a mix up,

1716
01:28:42,840 --> 01:28:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, that could all give that could also give

1717
01:28:44,439 --> 01:28:48,160
Speaker 1: them some benefit. I'm like, I talk to people all

1718
01:28:48,200 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 1: the time Bill's fans, and you do. You just can't wait,

1719
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:55,240
Speaker 1: whether there's winning, whether they're going to you can't wait

1720
01:28:55,280 --> 01:28:58,560
Speaker 1: to see this team play. Josh gives them that headliners

1721
01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:02,240
Speaker 1: sense that it's gonna be something special, and the guys

1722
01:29:02,280 --> 01:29:04,600
Speaker 1: around him that you just kind of love and respect that,

1723
01:29:04,720 --> 01:29:06,640
Speaker 1: you know, the Groots of the world and the ed

1724
01:29:06,680 --> 01:29:10,280
Speaker 1: Oliver's and the you know, the Kincaid's and you know

1725
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,880
Speaker 1: Cooks and all the guys we love and respect about

1726
01:29:12,880 --> 01:29:15,479
Speaker 1: this team. It's you can't wait for them to get

1727
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: on the field. I don't think that's going to change

1728
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:20,080
Speaker 1: at all this year, and I think their offense is

1729
01:29:20,200 --> 01:29:21,920
Speaker 1: going to be just like we've seen it be in

1730
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: the last four or five years.

1731
01:29:23,200 --> 01:29:24,240
Speaker 2: Here's one more from Connor.

1732
01:29:24,280 --> 01:29:26,320
Speaker 3: The front seven, the additions to the d line and

1733
01:29:26,360 --> 01:29:29,000
Speaker 3: the return of Milana will be critical for the defense.

1734
01:29:29,120 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 3: In recent years, the Bill's defense has been defined by

1735
01:29:32,240 --> 01:29:34,439
Speaker 3: the back half, but I think this is the year

1736
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:37,559
Speaker 3: that it changes. McDermott talked last year that he wanted

1737
01:29:37,560 --> 01:29:38,680
Speaker 3: them to be nasty.

1738
01:29:38,960 --> 01:29:39,840
Speaker 2: It's time.

1739
01:29:40,120 --> 01:29:42,760
Speaker 1: This could be the year that let's go.

1740
01:29:43,080 --> 01:29:45,120
Speaker 3: We see a lot from the front seven this season,

1741
01:29:45,640 --> 01:29:49,040
Speaker 3: supporting the new cast, a part of the secondary that

1742
01:29:49,080 --> 01:29:52,120
Speaker 3: could be there's no way it can't be different, but

1743
01:29:52,240 --> 01:29:54,759
Speaker 3: still nothing that says it has to be worse, maybe better.

1744
01:29:54,800 --> 01:29:56,439
Speaker 1: We'll see. It's fun.

1745
01:29:56,479 --> 01:29:57,479
Speaker 2: That's going to do it for us.

1746
01:29:57,680 --> 01:30:00,400
Speaker 3: For a Tuesday edition of One Bill's Live, join us

1747
01:30:00,439 --> 01:30:02,040
