00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: week is just dragging? I spent much of yesterday thinking

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:06,320
Speaker 1: the game I spent I probably said it on the

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: show a half dozen times. Well in tomorrow night's game

Speaker 1: now tomorrow. The game is Thursday. Of course today is Wednesday.

22
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,679
Speaker 1: For some reason, this week is crawling along, right, doesn't

23
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 1: it feel that way? I want to, you know what,

24
00:01:18,160 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 1: I want to get finished with this game more than anything.

25
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,240
Speaker 1: I'm not games do you. Oh yeah, I'm all right

26
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: with him, but I want to be finished with it.

27
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 1: I want to get to the cutdown and get to

28
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 1: the jets chops the chops the week up nicely. You know,

29
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:31,199
Speaker 1: you come in, you wrap things up on a Friday,

30
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:33,399
Speaker 1: head into the weekend. This is a huge well, we'd

31
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,320
Speaker 1: had our production meeting today with Sean McDermott and Brandon

32
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,840
Speaker 1: Bean about you know, this game and what's going on,

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 1: and it's always true that it's a tough weekend for

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: everybody involved, the coaches, the players, as particularly the guys

35
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: who you know, if all the rookies are kind of

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: like going on, I don't know, am I really gonna

37
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 1: make that even the you know, uh maybe not the

38
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,680
Speaker 1: number one. You know, I get Ed Oliver and uh,

39
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: Cody Ford, They're probably fine and all that, and Devin,

40
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, all these guys are theying. Okay, I'm kind

41
00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: of on it. So but there's a ton of guys

42
00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 1: half the roster who are sitting there thinking, Man, I

43
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: don't know if I'm gonna make this. Yeah, yeah, I

44
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,200
Speaker 1: get it. Did you ever sweat I asked Eric with

45
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,360
Speaker 1: this question on the radio broadcast last Friday night in Detroit,

46
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 1: and I think you might have a bit of a

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: different answer. Eric was a first round draft pick and

48
00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 1: then got contract extensions pretty regularly during his nine years

49
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:27,359
Speaker 1: with the Bills. Did you sweat out cutdowns, especially in

50
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:29,120
Speaker 1: the early part of your career? Did you sweat out

51
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 1: this summer cutdown? Yeah? Yeah, I still remember how I

52
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:37,200
Speaker 1: still remember how how difficult my rookie. I was a

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: ninth round draft pick. I was two hundred and twenty

54
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,919
Speaker 1: sixth overall take and I didn't even know it at

55
00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 1: the time, and they drafted three guys at my spot. Ye,

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: so yeah, I was sweating it out. I know, I

57
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:52,480
Speaker 1: got I don't know. I don't think. I think I

58
00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,400
Speaker 1: kind of played Okay, Well what am I going to

59
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:02,799
Speaker 1: compare it to? And I finally called the office and yeah,

60
00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 1: I go, do I need to come in there? Are

61
00:03:04,040 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: they gonna want to talk to me? Would you? Would

62
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: you call a coach and coaches secretary? Whatever? I said?

63
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,440
Speaker 1: You know, I talked to her for travel and for

64
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:13,920
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. You know, she was like a

65
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: contact for all that stuff that you do as a player.

66
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:19,079
Speaker 1: And I go right, and she goes I know, she goes, yeah,

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 1: you're fine. I saw the list. I started calling my family.

68
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: I was like, I think I actually made it, you know,

69
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 1: which was unbelievable. He was one thing that I've often

70
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: wondered too. You made it. You're on the fifty three,

71
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: and yet you know that you could be released later

72
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: on sometime during the season. So is there a weekly

73
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:43,480
Speaker 1: thing where you thinking, Man, I wonder if I'm getting

74
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: cut in this week or no that None of that

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: happened so much back then. That wasn't on my mind

76
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: back then, because even now, I think it's hard because

77
00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: once you feel like you make it, you make it.

78
00:03:54,840 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: But as we know, there's so much roster churn, and

79
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: then there's a practice squad. And everything was different back

80
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 1: then too than it is now. Is there was IR

81
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:06,640
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. You really couldn't hide guys like

82
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 1: you can today. You had to be on IR to

83
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: hide a guy and keep him around. It's for practice

84
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:15,600
Speaker 1: and so but now guys can bump around, go on

85
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:17,640
Speaker 1: the practice squad, off the practice squad, be on a

86
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: different practice squad to be cut, come back to this

87
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 1: practice squad, go to a different team, tying to their

88
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:26,360
Speaker 1: active roster. All of that stuff is possible, and it's

89
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 1: just different now. So I think guys really do have

90
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: to be on their toes, and I think coaching staffs

91
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,880
Speaker 1: are doing a much better job now of making sure

92
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,159
Speaker 1: guys know when they come in. For instance, if you

93
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 1: sign a guy, if your practice squad, or if you

94
00:04:38,839 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: sign a guy, if a guy makes it, the first

95
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,400
Speaker 1: conversation you have with him, say listen, you're here for

96
00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,560
Speaker 1: at least a couple of weeks until this guy gets healthy,

97
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: or until this guy comes back, or if if somebody

98
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: else will you know, if you play well, you can stay,

99
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:57,920
Speaker 1: but we're as of now, if we find somebody better,

100
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: we're gonna replace you, So you gotta play well. You know,

101
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,800
Speaker 1: it's that kind of pressure that they put on these guys,

102
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 1: and it's also about being honest with them. So all

103
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: that's going on, you know, it struck me too this week.

104
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: And look, we know the drill tomorrow, Tyree Jackson is

105
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,800
Speaker 1: going to start. The starter is not likely to play much,

106
00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: if at all, even important backups not likely to play,

107
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: which brings me to this team. And you know we've

108
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,160
Speaker 1: talked about preseason. Last week, we did the show about

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: the structure of preseason, how many games you need, blah

110
00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:30,760
Speaker 1: blah blah. This game tomorrow night, to me, is exactly

111
00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about, almost exactly what I'm talking about

112
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 1: when I think they need a prospects game. These are

113
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: prospects tomorrow night. These are first and second year players,

114
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 1: guys barely on the roster. You know, you got a

115
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: ninety man roster and fifty three can make it though,

116
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: so the makeup of the on field performers tomorrow will

117
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,040
Speaker 1: be guys whom probably most of them won't be around

118
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: for the fifty three man roster. And gets me to

119
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,279
Speaker 1: the place where I'm thinking this game, this prospects game,

120
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,920
Speaker 1: limited to first and maybe second year players in a

121
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: couple of others, maybe a number of omity beyond two

122
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: years from the bottom half year ninety man roster. Yes,

123
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:07,400
Speaker 1: this should be the first preseason game. I really believe

124
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:12,480
Speaker 1: that should be. Maybe at a discount ticket price. Put

125
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 1: it on TV if you want, maybe negotiate a different

126
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,120
Speaker 1: TV structure. The cutaway one of the preseason games. Make

127
00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: this preseason game number one, so that you can get

128
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 1: a sense of who deserves another look, who deserves to

129
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: play next week and maybe the week after that. If

130
00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 1: you want to go three season game. Ideally, this is

131
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,160
Speaker 1: the game. This should be the prospect game. Yeah, ideally

132
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: for me, it would be week one, and I think

133
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 1: ideally it would be after two or three days of

134
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: practice against the Vikings. Yeah, you know what I mean.

135
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:38,800
Speaker 1: So these two teams would play against each other and

136
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: after it would practice against each other during the week

137
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,719
Speaker 1: and then come out and this would be the prospects

138
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: game at the end of it, where these teams are

139
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: going to come out and have a big, live game

140
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: with the mechanics of the game, with officials, with everything,

141
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,160
Speaker 1: just like a regular game. I agree with you. It's

142
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,720
Speaker 1: a great idea. Unfortunately it happens, like you said, Murph,

143
00:06:57,760 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: it happens at the wrong end of the schedule, right.

144
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:05,800
Speaker 1: This should be the first preseason game, and then for me,

145
00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: there should be one more and then you know, it's

146
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: like maybe a two week period where okay, now let's

147
00:07:12,560 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: go play play real football for so they can get there,

148
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 1: get it together. I'm totally with you. It's such a

149
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:25,040
Speaker 1: delicate balance between injury and readiness in the NFL. I

150
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,360
Speaker 1: don't think you need more time to get ready. I

151
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: just think you need to be have to be smarter. Yeah,

152
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: that's it. I mean, the evaluation process is what it is.

153
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's gonna put some pressure on these young

154
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,600
Speaker 1: guys at the bottom half of the roster. Listen, you

155
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: gotta show up now. You can't show up in three weeks,

156
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: you know. Like, for instance, a guy on our roster

157
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: we've been talking about Duke Williams, he didn't show up

158
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,080
Speaker 1: until the last two weeks. He didn't get that opportunity.

159
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: He was going with the twos and threes and now

160
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: he's with the ones and twos because of the way

161
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:57,520
Speaker 1: he played when he got into the game him. Yeah,

162
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: but he didn't get the opportunities. What I'm saying, there

163
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,560
Speaker 1: was no room. There was like fifteen other guys at

164
00:08:01,560 --> 00:08:05,560
Speaker 1: the position. So it takes a while to churn through

165
00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:08,000
Speaker 1: the rotation to get all these guys an opportunity, and

166
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 1: then you take the ones who do the best with

167
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,600
Speaker 1: their opportunity and then you run them through again. Yeah,

168
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: so running them through again, you don't you know, you're

169
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: you're running them through again because of the fifth and

170
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,560
Speaker 1: sixth spots on the roster at a position group, not

171
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 1: the one and two spot on the roster. So that

172
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 1: to me starts to become you know, well, here's my plan.

173
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:31,600
Speaker 1: I'm just kind of thinking it through. But I this

174
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: is kind of I'm sticking to what I suggested through,

175
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: all right, And you can do this without adjusting the CBA.

176
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 1: You can do this without renegotiating the CBA. You don't

177
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: have to worry about do we need an eighteen game

178
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 1: regular season schedule? Blah blah blah. Look next year, let's

179
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: do it next year. Let's start it next year. Three

180
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: preseason games. Number one, the prospect game. Reduce costs for tickets,

181
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,040
Speaker 1: maybe you know, you figure it might not be the

182
00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,680
Speaker 1: same kind of TV rating. Maybe reduce costs for the

183
00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: television and radio rights. All right, whatever they can that out.

184
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: Number two game is the game for everybody, and the

185
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: most important players play. And then one more game. I'll

186
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: take one more game where it's one last look at

187
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: guys who might make your roster. Some guys need tuning

188
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,080
Speaker 1: up for the regular season. Some guys Duke Williams in

189
00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: this case, maybe got a late start to get going,

190
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: and he plays it. So three preseason games, let's start

191
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 1: it next year, prospect game, which is not really a

192
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: preseason game. Let's and let's call tomorrow night an exhibition game.

193
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,760
Speaker 1: It is an exhibition rather than the preseason game. Exhibition game,

194
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: prosper prospects, preseason game one, preseason game number two. Kick

195
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: it off the following week. Let's go I'm ready, ready break. Yeah,

196
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: you're buying in right? You like that idea? I don't. Yeah,

197
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: that is good. Third, the third game adds at level,

198
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 1: particularly when you limit these clubs as to who they

199
00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: can play in that first game. Yeah, you need and

200
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:55,520
Speaker 1: then you need to get you know, the ones some work. Yeah,

201
00:09:55,559 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: then again you know what, you know what's gonna happen

202
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 1: that week two? The ones worked flight for core work

203
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: in a half, get them out right, don't get them right,

204
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: and then and then they're done. And then you've got

205
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: one more game. I don't know if you need to

206
00:10:08,120 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: do that. I think two is enough. The exhibition game, prospect,

207
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 1: the prospect game, the exhibition game, prospect game. Then you

208
00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: got the preseason game, which is you play who you want,

209
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: and that's the last one. You're gonna get you make

210
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,680
Speaker 1: the decision. If you want your ones to get some work,

211
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: get them in there for the first half, and then

212
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,079
Speaker 1: go back and look at everybody you want to look

213
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,880
Speaker 1: at um, you've had them for a couple of weeks

214
00:10:31,920 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 1: before this, you've had practices, joint practices to look at them,

215
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, make your evaluations. We'll see. I think it

216
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 1: does put a little pressure on some guys who you know,

217
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: they got to produce right right now. I mean, you're

218
00:10:47,280 --> 00:10:48,680
Speaker 1: not going to get a chance to kind of build

219
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 1: up or have me and maybe ride that roller coaster

220
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: that young guys do of inconsistency. You gotta you gotta

221
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:54,640
Speaker 1: play well. You gotta play well now or you're gonna

222
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: get leap behind this. Just end. That pressure is on

223
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: some guys tomorrow night, young guys and maybe some older guys.

224
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 1: That kind of pressure exists tomorrow night for some of

225
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: these guys, Right, I gotta play well tonight or I

226
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: gotta tell you I meant it, you know what. Maybe

227
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: a handful, Yeah, maybe a handful. There's gonna be gonna

228
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: be like forty five guys on the field tomorrow night. Total.

229
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: The upper upper half of the roster is completely off

230
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,880
Speaker 1: the field. So you got forty five guys. Of that

231
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 1: forty five, I'm I'm telling you five of them. It's

232
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: a difference maker tomorrow night. Five maybe five. And I'll

233
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,680
Speaker 1: tell you this too. It might be five of those guys,

234
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,000
Speaker 1: but there's also maybe five others that are maybe practice

235
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 1: squad or not. So there may be ten guys that

236
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:40,560
Speaker 1: you know. You may be dumped on the practice squad

237
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:42,680
Speaker 1: for the rest of the year, but at least you're

238
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 1: in the building, right Steve, And as you might be

239
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,200
Speaker 1: able to tell earlier in the show, Cot not struggling

240
00:11:48,200 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: with tomorrow Knights game, but trying to keep it in

Speaker 1: deals with the other end. The three games so far,

249
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:12,319

252
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,320
Speaker 1: the bills first three preseason games about the Bills? Not

253
00:12:19,640 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: roster battles here, we're talking about about the twenty nineteen

254
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. What have you been able to glean from

255
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,920
Speaker 1: these first three preseason games? Again, love to hear me

256
00:12:27,960 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: on the phone lines eight oh three five fifty toll

257
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:33,480
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

258
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: Love to get a tweet from you on our tweet

259
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 1: sheet at one Bills Live. We might read it. You

260
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,079
Speaker 1: can vote in the Twitter poll. It's a close one,

261
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: which you know we always say simple is better. Simple

262
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: sometimes leads to close votes, and we got just a

263
00:12:45,520 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 1: couple hundred votes in. But we're just getting started. What

264
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 1: have you learned personally about the twenty nineteen Bills based

265
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: on these first three preseason games? The run game will

266
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 1: be better? Did you learn that? Did you see that

267
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 1: enough of that to think that that's the case, or

268
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen in the pass game will highlight the offense,

269
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: or the defense will be even better than in twenty eighteen,

270
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: or something else. On the Twitter poll, it's close. Thirty

271
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,440
Speaker 1: three percent say the defense will be better. Than twenty eighteen.

272
00:13:13,520 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: Hard to argue with that, and they were number two

273
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL last year. Thirty percent say the passing

274
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: game will highlight the offense. But I guess that means

275
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: they'll pass more than they run be more successful. I think,

276
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what it means to say

277
00:13:26,400 --> 00:13:28,920
Speaker 1: we'll highlight the offense. I don't know. I think the

278
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,520
Speaker 1: passing game will be more successful than a year ago.

279
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Maybe that's what you're responding to there. Run game will

280
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: be better than a year ago. Twenty three percent say

281
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: that something else. Fourteen percent give us a call. Let's

282
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,880

283
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 1: preseason games. And again, this is off the topic of

284
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: roster spots and roster battles. More on the topic of

285
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen Bills. The run game will be better,

286
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 1: the passing game will be better, or the defense will

287
00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 1: be better or something else. Eight oh three five fifty

306
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: show looks like. Yeah, got a lot going on, and

307
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: it is that time a year when we've got a

308
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 1: ton of people we want to have on and talk about.

309
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 1: We've got, we've got the we've got talking about what

310
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: everything was gonna be on. I don't know if I

311
00:14:58,400 --> 00:14:59,560
Speaker 1: want to go to this now. But you want to

312
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,080
Speaker 1: talk about the is forty eight? No, no, okay, we're

313
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 1: gonna put that on. About the pass interference challenge, We're

314
00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:07,160
Speaker 1: gonna get to that too. There's some statistics out now

315
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 1: that the preseason is coming to an end about how

316
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: that new challenge rule for the coaches have gone. Just

317
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 1: some numbers. Really, you and I were laughing. We're not laughing,

318
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: but we were talking about it, and it was like,

319
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:18,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know why you get that on because

320
00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:20,760
Speaker 1: it doesn't tell us anything. But I'm gonna share with

321
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 1: you the statistics anyway with I told you I didn't

322
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: want to talk. I'm not gonna talk. I'm gonna do

323
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:28,160
Speaker 1: that later in the show. But now we got stuff

324
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet, and this is a pretty good

325
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,480
Speaker 1: Twitter poll. I was we finally got around to having

326
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: a really good Twitter poll today because we I do

327
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: think the first one. Are you doing Twitter? Now? You're

328
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: not doing? What? Are we doing? What you say? We

329
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:43,600
Speaker 1: were gonna do whatever you want to. I'm not gonna

330
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:45,160
Speaker 1: know you told me I can't do the passenger. We

331
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 1: were talking about pass interference. I'm so I'm gonna do this.

332
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do the Twitter pole thing. So what have

333
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,360
Speaker 1: you learned from the Mill's first three preseason games? And

334
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: this is from Brad. The run game should be much

335
00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: improved from last year, simply by the overhaul of our

336
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: offensive line. If our run game gets any worse than

337
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 1: the last year than noble, it'll be a long season.

338
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 1: Go Bills. Alison chimes in, she has all of the above.

339
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:06,360
Speaker 1: At least that's what I think they're trying to achieve.

340
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: And I see no reason why they won't be able

341
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 1: to move forward at least a little bit in all

342
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: three categories. And that's you're right. I mean, it's a

343
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:17,400
Speaker 1: pretty good choice to have, and I think we've seen

344
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: signs that they are going to move forward in a

345
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 1: lot of these areas, if not all of them. Let

346
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 1: me read from the tweet sheet number three there from Jack.

347
00:16:23,840 --> 00:16:26,480
Speaker 1: He says, I truly believe the defense will improve. Maybe

348
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:28,680
Speaker 1: at the end of twenty nineteen they'll be top five again.

349
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: I think they will have more sacks, more takeaways, and

350
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: they have less blowouts points against. It's too soon to

351
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: say if the running game will rebound. I'm optimistic for

352
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:38,480
Speaker 1: johshy An. Nobody still has to prove it. Back to

353
00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,520
Speaker 1: Jack's point about the defense, Steve, a year ago, you

354
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: made your name, you made your bones, predicting the top

355
00:16:44,280 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 1: five defense for the Buffalo Bills. I have yet to

356
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: hear that kind of prediction from you this year. Why

357
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: is because what are you holding back for? Why are

358
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: you holding back? I'm all about, you know, improvement and

359
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: all that. But they were twenty sixth in the league

360
00:16:57,440 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 1: two years ago. Yeah, I knew that they were going

361
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:04,639
Speaker 1: to be much better that year, and they and they were.

362
00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: They were top five, they were the second team overall,

363
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: second overall defense in the National Football League. I'm not

364
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,359
Speaker 1: ready to sit here and say, hey, they're going to

365
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:14,080
Speaker 1: be number one, because there's some things that go into

366
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:16,520
Speaker 1: that are out of their control. How other teams do

367
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:18,840
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. I don't think there's any question

368
00:17:18,880 --> 00:17:20,639
Speaker 1: they're going to be at least as solid a defense

369
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,360
Speaker 1: that they are. I would like to see them even

370
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: if they're a top ten defense rather than a top

371
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: five defense. I'd rather be more having be more spectacular.

372
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: I think they're going to get a chance to do that.

373
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Expect by spectacular, I mean a defense that not only

374
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: gets the other offense off the field on a regular basis,

375
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:44,280
Speaker 1: but also churns out turnovers, gets sacks, forces big plays

376
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: in their favor. I don't think they were that kind

377
00:17:46,960 --> 00:17:49,840
Speaker 1: of defense last year. They were. They were rock solid

378
00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:53,119
Speaker 1: last year, but they'd never they didn't make those plays

379
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: that were like, wow, did you see that? They won

380
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 1: the game with that play? That kind of thing. I'd

381
00:17:57,440 --> 00:17:58,760
Speaker 1: like to see more of that this year, and I

382
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,720
Speaker 1: think they can be and I I have hopes that

383
00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:03,200
Speaker 1: they will be. But man, what are you gonna do?

384
00:18:03,240 --> 00:18:05,199
Speaker 1: Tell them they're gonna be a top five defense. That

385
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,439
Speaker 1: means they could get ranked worse than they were a

386
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,640
Speaker 1: year ago. But I think they could still play better

387
00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:14,560
Speaker 1: and do that, so I'm I'm totally on board with them.

388
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: I think the question is I think they got more

389
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 1: depth defensively. I think they got more quality depth at

390
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,240
Speaker 1: the pass rushing spot and in the defensive line, a

391
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: defensive tackle spot. I think they've got a better and

392
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: deeper secondary than they did it had a year ago.

393
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: I think they're right in their wheelhouse where they want

394
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: to be. I think they're deeper at the nickel corner

395
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: than they were a year ago. I think they're deeper

396
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 1: at the corner opposite Tredavious White than they were a

397
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: year ago. The question for me is you you think

398
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: about it. If you if you got Ed Oliver starting

399
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,520
Speaker 1: at the three technique rather than Kyle Williams, you would

400
00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: you rather have Kyle Williams in his thirteenth year or

401
00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 1: what it would be, fourteenth year this year, or Ed

402
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: Oliver in his first year. I think Ed's gonna have

403
00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 1: some growing pains, but he's also got a motor that

404
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: won't quit, and he's got fresh legs. And I know

405
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: that's an old saying he's got fresh legs. He's a

406
00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,680
Speaker 1: hungry kid, he wants to play well, but he's got

407
00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:10,639
Speaker 1: a ton to learn. So would a fourteenth year Kyle

408
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 1: Williams be a little better than a first year Ed

409
00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: Oliver in some respects? You gotta say yeah, probably, particularly

410
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: maybe in the first half of the year. But man, man,

411
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: as this season goes on, I think Ed Oliver's gonna

412
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,840
Speaker 1: jump jump jump jump. So this defense is on a

413
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: trajectory like that. So it's hard to predict how this

414
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: defense is gonna because they were so good last year.

415
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:32,280
Speaker 1: You and others have made an interesting point over the

416
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: last few weeks about how the limitations of the Buffalo

417
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:40,280
Speaker 1: offense last year. Offense last year made the job easier

418
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:46,720
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo defense, not easier. I think it affected

419
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: the way teams attacked the Bills exactly. I think there's

420
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: a ripple effect, no questions. Can you elaborate briefly on

421
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: what you mean? Then the Bills defense never had to

422
00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: face an offense that was in desperate need to score points,

423
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: or not very often. Anyway, they were playing teams that said, listen,

424
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:05,679
Speaker 1: if we can win the field position battle and we

425
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,040
Speaker 1: don't turn it over, they're gonna have a hard time

426
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,119
Speaker 1: scoring enough points to beat us. So let's not go

427
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: in there taking eight shots of a half deep. Let's

428
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,000
Speaker 1: just stay on the field offensively. Field goals are gonna

429
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: win this for us if we need to, because the

430
00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna score where they score made fourteen points

431
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,600
Speaker 1: last year we get, we get two field goals or

432
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 1: three field goals and a touchdown, we win. You know,

433
00:20:32,840 --> 00:20:35,280
Speaker 1: that's it. We don't have to score twenty eight points.

434
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: We gotta score fifteen. That's it. So let's not put

435
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: the ball at risk with this defense, and let's run

436
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: a little bit, stay on the field offensively, win the

437
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: field position battle and go from there. So they never

438
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,040
Speaker 1: really faced an offense that was, you know what, quarterbacks

439
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,400
Speaker 1: dropping back seven steps and he's waiting for this long

440
00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,640
Speaker 1: pass route to develop and then throwing the football down

441
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 1: the field. The ball was out very quick they were

442
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,600
Speaker 1: the ball was out on quick timing routes. They never

443
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,640
Speaker 1: had to really drop back and go third and long

444
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: very much or as much as most teams did. And

445
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: the Bills they're playing against a defense that was very solid.

446
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: But if you never give them a chance to put

447
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:18,720
Speaker 1: the ball at risk, they're never going to get the

448
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: turnovers that that makes the defense dynamic. So that's what

449
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,879
Speaker 1: the Bills defense faced last year. They faced teams that

450
00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:27,920
Speaker 1: were just you know, basically hugging the ball and running

451
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: into the line or throwing a little quick flare pass

452
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,520
Speaker 1: to the back and getting a few positive yards. They

453
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,240
Speaker 1: never faced a team that was desperate dropping back, taking

454
00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:39,640
Speaker 1: the big risk shooting, taking shots down the field. So

455
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 1: while teams never really got a ton of yards on them,

456
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,920
Speaker 1: they were still winning games. You know, teams were winning

457
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: games against this defense because all I had to do

458
00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,640
Speaker 1: was play the field position battle, kick a field goal,

459
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:56,560
Speaker 1: and that's a win. First two games notwithstanding, right, Baltimore

460
00:21:56,520 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 1: and Chargers. Yeah, the Bills were a train wreck the

461
00:21:59,200 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: first couple of right. I mean they couldn't. They couldn't.

462
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: They they couldn't do anything offensive. They were turning the

463
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: football over. They couldn't. They couldn't complete passes. Guys couldn't

464
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 1: get separation in the secondary. Their offensive line couldn't protect

465
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: the quarterback. We were going through quarterbacks like you know,

466
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:19,640
Speaker 1: like a baby goes through diapers. You know, you gotta

467
00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: change those things. You gotta change everything the same result. Right,

468
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 1: You had to change them every two hours, you know.

469
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,879
Speaker 1: I mean that that you know something was leaking. Yeah, right,

470
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 1: So they had to. They had to, you know, they

471
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: were up against it. We went through four quarterbacks, three

472
00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:38,359
Speaker 1: of them were by injury. Yeah, yep, all right, So

473
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:39,920
Speaker 1: what do you think? What have you learned from the

474
00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: Bill's first three preseason games, and how does it apply

475
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: to the twenty nineteen season? Give us a call eight

476
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,480
Speaker 1: three fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

477
00:22:48,520 --> 00:22:51,160
Speaker 1: two five fifty will start with Dave and Buffalo. Hello, Dave,

478
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:54,879
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. I think smile for

479
00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: me if the game is um for Tyree when we up,

480
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: I was pretty excited about it. He's been and I

481
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 1: think with a lot of quarterbacks going to become available

482
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 1: after this weekend, you know, to make the practice squad

483
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,480
Speaker 1: where we also go right to the practice squad. I

484
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: think this is a big game for him, just to

485
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:14,679
Speaker 1: prove that he could stay on the practice squad and

486
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 1: that and they don't go pick up somebody else. So

487
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,760
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to see what he could do. I

488
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,479
Speaker 1: think he has a big upside, so as what I'm

489
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 1: looking forward to. Yeah, and that's what you think you

490
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,000
Speaker 1: got to You gotta think too, They're gonna look at

491
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:26,439
Speaker 1: how far he has progressed and how he does in

492
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,040
Speaker 1: this game. I think you're right. I think there's um.

493
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,679
Speaker 1: I mean, Sean McDermott said, I said it yesterday. He

494
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,640
Speaker 1: said it his press conference. They said how many jobs

495
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,320
Speaker 1: are up for grabs in this game? And he said

496
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,800
Speaker 1: all of them. I said, well, okay, I get that,

497
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:43,640
Speaker 1: but I think guys like Tyree Jackson, he's not Tyree's

498
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 1: not competing against Matt Barkley and Josh Allen. Tyree Jackson

499
00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: is competing against every other guy who's playing in a

500
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,560
Speaker 1: preseason game. This weekend, who's a young rookie quarterback who

501
00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:58,199
Speaker 1: may not make the active roster for their team. The

502
00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,600
Speaker 1: Bills are gonna look around like you've got a guy

503
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: like Jake dola Gala in Cincinnati who was an undrafted

504
00:24:06,160 --> 00:24:09,119
Speaker 1: rookie free agent who's outplayed the draft pick that the

505
00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals have got a guy like that. One of

506
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,359
Speaker 1: those two guys may or may not be on the

507
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,439
Speaker 1: practice squad for Cincinnati, or may be, and he might

508
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: you may like him better than Tyree. The thing that

509
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: Tyree has going for him, the thing that we all know.

510
00:24:22,280 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: He's big, strong armed athlete, and he can make plays

511
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: off the page that nobody else can make because he

512
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: is that athletic and has that big an arm. The

513
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 1: question is, can he make the throw that a pro

514
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 1: quarterback has to make. Can he stand in the pocket

515
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,399
Speaker 1: accept the rush into his face while he's delivering the

516
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: football down the field into a tight window. That's what

517
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: I want to see tomorrow. That's what he's got a

518
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 1: show tomorrow night. Tyree is a college quarterback. He was

519
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:55,120
Speaker 1: the MAC Offensive Player of the Year last year. He

520
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:59,240
Speaker 1: threw for almost seven thousand yards. But he's got to

521
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,080
Speaker 1: stand in the p pocket and make throws and make

522
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: them well and read defenses, do all things in NFL

523
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: quarterback does because athleticism is less valuable to an NFL

524
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,720
Speaker 1: quarterback than it is to a college quarterback. You got

525
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 1: a long way to go, and I agree. I agree

526
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 1: with the caller. You know, it's a it's a big

527
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: game for him. I think the Bills are looking for

528
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: a certain level of a competency from Tyree Jackson tomorrow

529
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: to make sure that he is worth putting on their

530
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,920
Speaker 1: practice squad. But we will talk about this, I'm sure

531
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,439
Speaker 1: next week once the roster is set. We anticipate the

532
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,959
Speaker 1: wind up with two quarterbacks Barclay and Josh on the

533
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,879
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster. But where do they go for

534
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: their third quarterback? Can they go to the practice squad

535
00:25:41,080 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: for Tyree Jackson? That's unlikely, I think. Is there somebody

536
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: good's going to pop up that could be on their

537
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: practice squad as their potential number three? That's almost unlikely

538
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: as well. You know, think about this, Murphy, and we

539
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: talked about this a minute yesterday. They got they got

540
00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 1: burned bad last year by not having enough quarter acts

541
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,600
Speaker 1: on their active roster when the season started Now, certainly

542
00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:05,359
Speaker 1: some of that was the offensive line and the stuff

543
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: we were just talking about, how guy, you know, quarterbacks

544
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,160
Speaker 1: were getting beat up in the pocket, they were getting

545
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: injured by playing behind the offensive line they had a

546
00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:15,080
Speaker 1: year ago. But this is a team that they could

547
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: have used three guys on the roster last year, right,

548
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:20,280
Speaker 1: I mean they could they could have used a fourth guy,

549
00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:23,880
Speaker 1: you know. So I don't know that they won't say, listen,

550
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 1: we want to keep a third guy active. Really, maybe

551
00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. But even if so, if are you

552
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: thinking Tyree or Tyree can't be that guy, if they're

553
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,640
Speaker 1: not comfortable putting him in a game with what they

554
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,600
Speaker 1: went through last year, maybe this is a staff or

555
00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean is saying, you know what, I'm not doing it.

556
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 1: I want a guy that I can get ready to

557
00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:47,280
Speaker 1: playing about twelve days, and then by the time we

558
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,120
Speaker 1: do need him, he will be ready. We'll be able

559
00:26:49,119 --> 00:26:51,160
Speaker 1: to you know, if if if there is a bus

560
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,159
Speaker 1: crash and Josh and Matt Barkley both get hurt, we

561
00:26:54,280 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: got a guy that at least we feel like we

562
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: can run an offense through. And if Tyree Jackson hasn't

563
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 1: proven that he won't like if he doesn't prove that

564
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: tomorrow night, maybe it will be a different guy. It seems,

565
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: and I haven't done the research, but it seems fewer

566
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 1: teams keep three quarterbacks now. Yeah, and then in ten

567
00:27:09,880 --> 00:27:13,520
Speaker 1: fifteen years ago. They're protected more, you know, Yeah, they're

568
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 1: protected more. And if a quarterback has half a brain

569
00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,360
Speaker 1: and can slide and get out of bounds and throw

570
00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:22,560
Speaker 1: the football away and you know what I mean, you

571
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:24,680
Speaker 1: can stay healthy, you can stay upright. We see it

572
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: a lot more now than we have in past. Quarterbacks

573
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: just don't have to take hits unless they really want to.

574
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:32,879
Speaker 1: And I don't want to get it. That's what Andrew

575
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:35,360
Speaker 1: That's what Andrew Luck didn't get. He would stand in there.

576
00:27:35,400 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: And that's why all the other quarterbacks, all the Kurt

577
00:27:38,680 --> 00:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Warners and the Steve Burlines and the Troy Aikman's and

578
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: all these old quarterbacks used to love Andrew Luck because

579
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: he would stand there, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, and

580
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 1: then throw it and then take a hit. Some of

581
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: the other quarterbacks they don't wait wait, wait, They throw it,

582
00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: complete the pass and the rush is never near him.

583
00:27:58,960 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck always took every millisecond he had, and he

584
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,439
Speaker 1: always took a hit, and now he's out. And now

585
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: he's at seven years now he's out. Yeah, all right,

586
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: we got a lot to talk about. What have you

587
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,439
Speaker 1: learned from the Bill's first three preseason games? How does

588
00:28:10,440 --> 00:28:12,560
Speaker 1: it apply to morrow Night's game? If at all? Who

589
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:14,199
Speaker 1: are you looking to see in tomorrow Night's game? Who

590
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,879
Speaker 1: can win a roster spot with their performance tomorrow night?

Speaker 1: John Murphy's Steep Tansker. We got a game tomorrow night.

600
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: I wish it was tonight, Steve, Like I said, I

601
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: want to get to this game. I want to get

602
00:28:54,400 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 1: through this game. I want to know a little bit

603
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: more about the roster. I'm I've been patient. You know,

604
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:03,360
Speaker 1: tomorrow will be five weeks since the Bills went to camp.

605
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: Can you believe that, and I'll tell you that's one

606
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: of these weird things where it has flown by, and

607
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 1: it also seems like, Wow, we've been in this mode

608
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 1: for a year, but we haven't. I get it. I'll

609
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 1: grow up. I'm sorry. Preseason game number four tomorrow night,

610
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,280
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Browns. We'll look at the Bills,

611
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:21,719
Speaker 1: will look at former UB quarterback Tyree Jackson. By the way,

612
00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: the Bulls are playing tomorrow night. They got Robert Morris.

613
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 1: You'd be home against Robert Morris tomorrow night. I'm excited

614
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,920
Speaker 1: about a lot of things to watch tomorrow, including running back.

615
00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: I think we're probably gonna see Christian Wade, Right, I

616
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 1: see Christian Wade. We're getting get some reps. Ye. He's

617
00:29:35,600 --> 00:29:39,320
Speaker 1: got a tough act to follow his own, right right, U. Yeah,

618
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard to score touchdown every time he

619
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,200
Speaker 1: touched the ball. Believe me, I don't even if the

620
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: first time was easy. Yeah, we're gonna see him. He's

621
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna play and that's it's gonna be fun. Can I

622
00:29:50,960 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: just say one guy that I will be You know,

623
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: we root for guys that you know, and you're like

624
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 1: one guy and it's not because of the name. But

625
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:00,440
Speaker 1: I think Marcus Murphy has been a true soldier this season,

626
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:03,560
Speaker 1: going right back to training camp. He knows the drill,

627
00:30:03,840 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: he sees Frank Gore, he knows they drafted a third

628
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: round running back. Marcus Murphy has played and played tough

629
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. Broke his leg in the

630
00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 1: second of last game against New England right the day

631
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:16,080
Speaker 1: before Christmas. Wasn't that Christmas Eve or December twenty third? Yeah,

632
00:30:16,120 --> 00:30:18,280
Speaker 1: I mean my heart broke when I saw him break

633
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: his leg standing in the locker room there at Foxboro

634
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: last year. And what does he doing? He comes out here,

635
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: he spends the entire offseason working out, getting ready, and

636
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: here he is playing as hard as he can. A

637
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:29,840
Speaker 1: guy that look, he may not be around on the

638
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:32,840
Speaker 1: fifth the Bills fifty three man roster, but it'd be

639
00:30:32,840 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: crazy if he's not on somebody's fifty three man rosters. Yeah,

640
00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: it's he's down to it between you gotta think Shady,

641
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:46,400
Speaker 1: Frank Gore, Devin Singletarry, and then who's it gonna be.

642
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be Sonorus Perry or is it gonna

643
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:52,720
Speaker 1: be Marcus Murphy? T J. Yelden. Although Yelden doesn't play

644
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: special teams. Pat DeMarco is gonna be in the mix

645
00:30:57,960 --> 00:30:59,960
Speaker 1: because he's a fullback, but he counts as one of

646
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: running back. So you know, that's you're getting down to

647
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 1: it where it's going to be between a guy who

648
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,800
Speaker 1: plays special teams and the guy who can also play

649
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: running back. And that comes down to like a guy

650
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: for me, right, Murph'snorris Perry or Marcus Murphy. Right, Yeah,

651
00:31:14,800 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 1: and that's if Yelden isn't in the mix. So yeah,

652
00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 1: it's I root for him. I don't know. I root

653
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,480
Speaker 1: that it turns out well for him wherever he winds up,

654
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:26,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo somewhere else. I like the way he runs. He

655
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: wins with a lot of energy and a hard nosed

656
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:35,440
Speaker 1: attitude and a feisty attitude, and he's productive when he

657
00:31:35,480 --> 00:31:37,640
Speaker 1: gets the ball. So what have you learned from three

658
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,560
Speaker 1: preseason games so far? Let us know eight three fifty

659
00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:43,760
Speaker 1: two three one eight eight by fifty two five fifty.

660
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,000
Speaker 1: Got a call on the line from Tom and Buffalo

661
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: go ahead time you're on the air, Yes, sir, how

662
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,800
Speaker 1: are you doing? Guys? Good good? I'd like to know

663
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 1: when they set to fifty three man limit and is

664
00:31:56,040 --> 00:32:00,840
Speaker 1: there any downside to increasing it when it's five when

665
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:04,800
Speaker 1: you played? I believe, right, wasn't it forty five? Yeah?

666
00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,880
Speaker 1: And I think there was, Yeah, that's right, there was.

667
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,120
Speaker 1: I think they raised it when after the eighty seven

668
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: players strike is when it got set like like it

669
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: is mostly like it is right now, after the nineteen

670
00:32:17,080 --> 00:32:19,280
Speaker 1: eighty seven players strike, So that's when it was set,

671
00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 1: and to raise the limit would be I think the

672
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 1: coaches and would love it. I think the Union would

673
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: like it. But you know, it just means and I

674
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 1: don't know why they set it at forty five when

675
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 1: they've got fifty three guys on the roster and on Sunday, Yeah,

676
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:37,320
Speaker 1: on Sundays, forty five on roster on Sundays, and it's

677
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 1: a fifty three man roster, so you've got eight guys

678
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,680
Speaker 1: that are inactive every week. I don't know where that

679
00:32:42,800 --> 00:32:46,040
Speaker 1: came from, other than the fact that it gives teams

680
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: more flexibility to handle the injuries that happened. I've Murph

681
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: and I have talked about this a lot. I think

682
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: if the eighteen game schedule, which has been I think

683
00:32:55,160 --> 00:32:57,040
Speaker 1: it's on a freight train coming down the tracks, and

684
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 1: I don't know how long the tracks are. It's gonna

685
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:04,600
Speaker 1: get here sooner or later. I think along with the

686
00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 1: eighteen game schedule is going to come in a large roster. Yeah,

687
00:33:07,440 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean, I think it makes sense. Natural bargaining chip rights,

688
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: that's a natural bargaining chip. I think revenue splits a

689
00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: natural bargaining chip. I think, you know, percentage of contracts

690
00:33:20,280 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: guaranteed is a bargaining chip. There's a ton of things

691
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: that are that are out there for the players Union

692
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,959
Speaker 1: to ask for in return for an eighteen game schedule,

693
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,400
Speaker 1: and then I think it might be worth it for

694
00:33:31,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: the leagues. And you're talking about a significant bump in

695
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,840
Speaker 1: their product without doing anything else, um, and they're gonna

696
00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: have to, you know, give some things up to get it,

697
00:33:42,800 --> 00:33:44,840
Speaker 1: to get it done. Tom asked, what's the downside? I

698
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 1: don't see a downside having a bigger roster? To you,

699
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:52,560
Speaker 1: is there a downside? Money gets spread thinner? Yeah, but no,

700
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: good call. We'll talk about that is the day moves

701
00:33:56,680 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: along and there's the cutdowns move along. What have you

702
00:33:59,040 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 1: learned from the bills first three preseason games? That's a

703
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: question on the table. Let us know eight three fifty

704
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,680
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

705
00:34:07,840 --> 00:34:09,560
Speaker 1: Let's go back to the tweet sheet. It is brought

706
00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,719
Speaker 1: to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of

707
00:34:12,760 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. What are you got on the tweet

708
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,160
Speaker 1: sheet from Jack? He says, I truly to believe the

709
00:34:17,239 --> 00:34:20,479
Speaker 1: d Webb one. Okay, all right from Tiffany, you didn't

710
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: get citific. Our d has the potential to be elite.

711
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: My bold prediction is that Tremaine is a finalist for

712
00:34:26,800 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Defensive Player of the Year. He has all the tools

713
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:31,080
Speaker 1: to be great. His instincts for the game have noticeably

714
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 1: improved throughout the preseason. He has a nose for the

715
00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:37,960
Speaker 1: ball and solid leadership. That's a bold prediction Tremaine Edmonds

716
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,239
Speaker 1: as Defensive Player of the Year. It's not it's not

717
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:43,120
Speaker 1: out of the question. I mean, the guy's got all

718
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: the physical skills you could ever want in a middle linebacker. Um.

719
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 1: I think you get those honors when your defense is

720
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:55,799
Speaker 1: elite and they think you're the reason why. Yeah. I

721
00:34:55,920 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: think in this day of pass rushers, maybe it's harder

722
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: to do from a guy who play stands in the

723
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 1: middle of the defense. Went in a throwing league, but

724
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe he could from respect. On the tweet

725
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,080
Speaker 1: sheet and we asked the question, what have you learned

726
00:35:12,080 --> 00:35:14,399
Speaker 1: from the Bill's first three precing games? He votes other

727
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 1: and says other, the preseason is useless and I can't

728
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,920
Speaker 1: wait for it to be over. I got it. The

729
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:22,920
Speaker 1: games are tough to watch. It'll be kind of tough

730
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: to watch tomorrow night's game. It'll be tough to call

731
00:35:24,719 --> 00:35:26,680
Speaker 1: tomorrow night's game. We both have to do it. Not

732
00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 1: complaining though, but it's not useless. There is benefits. There

733
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,240
Speaker 1: are benefits from this. I don't think you need four.

734
00:35:33,320 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: As I've said, I have my format. Steve has the

735
00:35:36,520 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 1: Tasker plan. We'll call this the Murphy plan. Have a

736
00:35:39,600 --> 00:35:42,279
Speaker 1: Prospects game involved in maybe one or two others. But

737
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: I don't think it's useless, Steve. Look, teams have to

738
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,759
Speaker 1: figure out who these players are, what they can do,

739
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 1: and teams have to figure out and teach players. This

740
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 1: is how we get ready for a game. This is

741
00:35:52,239 --> 00:35:53,600
Speaker 1: what we do during the game. This is how we

742
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,040
Speaker 1: make substitutions. This is how we call timeouts, this is

743
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: how we challenge replays. Right, all of these kind of

744
00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:01,520
Speaker 1: mechanical things get work down in these preseason games, there's

745
00:36:01,560 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: a lot to learn, and you got to go through

746
00:36:03,280 --> 00:36:06,240
Speaker 1: the motions of learning it, or you know, it doesn't

747
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 1: get done. For respect, the guy who just tweeted that

748
00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,400
Speaker 1: out about what can't waiting for it be over? I

749
00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: got advice for you for tomorrow night's game. Do not

750
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: watch it if you've ready for it to be over,

751
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 1: because it will. Yeah, you'll you'll be in a deep depression. God,

752
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 1: go fishing or something. Yeah. Look, unless you're a super fan,

753
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 1: and we have those and fortunately for us, unfortunately for

754
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,160
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, there are a lot of fans who

755
00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 1: are deeply interested in this preseason, in these rosters, in

756
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:37,720
Speaker 1: these last few rosters spots, and that's who you'll see tomorrow.

757
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 1: And if you're a casual fan, tomorrow Night's game is

758
00:36:40,560 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: not for you, right, that is right, That is right. Now.

759
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,440
Speaker 1: Here's the thing too, though, These are the games that

760
00:36:47,880 --> 00:36:50,640
Speaker 1: the families and friends of these players are going to

761
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: be watching intently because they know they're gonna get to

762
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:56,520
Speaker 1: see him play and play a lot. It's their biggest

763
00:36:56,520 --> 00:36:59,279
Speaker 1: opportunity to be a part of the NFL. Thus far

764
00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: of them. It may make a difference for some of them.

765
00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:05,160
Speaker 1: It probably can't make a difference for because they're just

766
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: up against it numbers wise, but it's a game that's

767
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,680
Speaker 1: on a personal level vitally important. And even the veterans

768
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:18,440
Speaker 1: on the sidelines, like Lorenzo Alexander and the old guys

769
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: out there, Frank Gore, all these guys, they're going to

770
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 1: be watching intently in this game because they know too

771
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:27,520
Speaker 1: some of these guys are gonna get released and they

772
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 1: may never see them again. There's some guys that are

773
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 1: friends and they're they're pulling for them to play well.

774
00:37:31,920 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: They're pulling for them to be a part of the team,

775
00:37:33,960 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: even though they know that they don't have any personal

776
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:40,600
Speaker 1: stake and what happens to their teammate because it's his

777
00:37:40,719 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 1: career and they've got their own to worry about. They

778
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 1: still have personal relationships and they're gonna be very interested

779
00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 1: to see how they're friends and teammates play because it's

780
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:51,440
Speaker 1: going to decide ultimately who's going to live with them

781
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 1: for the next four months in that locker room and

782
00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:56,880
Speaker 1: who's going to help them win games when the regular

783
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 1: season starts. It's even the veterans are going to be

784
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 1: intent intently watching this game and all that being said,

785
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: and I agree with you said, and I do think

786
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:08,560
Speaker 1: there's there's value in these games. When we come back

787
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:11,440
Speaker 1: here next Monday and the Jets game is on the docket,

788
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,000
Speaker 1: and the cuts are two days old, and the practice

789
00:38:14,040 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: squad is at least the initial practice squad is one

790
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,200
Speaker 1: day old, there won't be a whole lot of talk

791
00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 1: about the roster cuts, right. I mean, I remember we

792
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,560
Speaker 1: went down last year. Was it Brandon Riley who was

793
00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:24,759
Speaker 1: released last year? And it was a it was a

794
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,919
Speaker 1: weekend bleep storm. And by the time you get ready

795
00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:31,359
Speaker 1: for the opener, it doesn't matter. Here's your roster, here's

796
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: what you're going with, right, you agree, Yeah, because there's

797
00:38:34,840 --> 00:38:37,239
Speaker 1: no time to look back in the NFL, and when

798
00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:39,160
Speaker 1: you get into that first week of the regular season,

799
00:38:39,400 --> 00:38:42,480
Speaker 1: there's no time to look back and really second guess

800
00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 1: roster moves or cuts. You know, hey man, the Jets

801
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,480
Speaker 1: are coming. Yeah, you gotta go over there and play

802
00:38:47,520 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: the Jets. And another thing as well, it may we

803
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: talked to Brandon Bean about this today that first twenty

804
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,839
Speaker 1: four hours after you release guys, there's gonna be new

805
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,080
Speaker 1: guys that the Bills sign a couple they'll put bids

806
00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 1: in on the all the teams around the league who

807
00:39:05,360 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: are struggling to fill out their roster or don't have

808
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:11,680
Speaker 1: guys they're satisfied with, or they're thin at a position,

809
00:39:12,160 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 1: all kinds of this stuff going on. They're gonna wait

810
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,840
Speaker 1: and then that twenty four hours after the final cutdowns

811
00:39:17,840 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: are in, they're gonna sign guys, and then the guys

812
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 1: who just made it yesterday might get cut because they

813
00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:27,839
Speaker 1: feel like they can upgrade with a guy they got

814
00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: from whatever, Seattle, La, Chicago, you name it. They're gonna

815
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:34,919
Speaker 1: feel like they upgrade it, and they're gonna say, thanks

816
00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: for all the work you've done the last four months,

817
00:39:36,520 --> 00:39:39,040
Speaker 1: but we think this guy's better from the film we've

818
00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:41,120
Speaker 1: seen and from the things we did on pre draft

819
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 1: on him and all that. So even twenty four hours

820
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,560
Speaker 1: after the final cuts are made, they still may be

821
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: adjusting the roster and you may lose a guy that

822
00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: you thought, wow, all right, my guy made it. Oh no,

823
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: he's got you know. It's that kind of thing as well,

824
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:59,200
Speaker 1: and that's I think that's particularly brutal for the guys who, man,

825
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:00,520
Speaker 1: I think I made it. I made it, and then

826
00:40:00,560 --> 00:40:03,719
Speaker 1: the next day I didn't make it. Yeah, it's hard.

827
00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: We'll get into more of this when we come back

828
00:40:05,320 --> 00:40:07,399
Speaker 1: after this break. Come on back One Bill's Live from

829
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:20,719
Speaker 1: One Bill's Driving. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back

830
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:23,319
Speaker 1: One Bills five, Jome Urfee, Steve Tasker. Day before the

831
00:40:23,400 --> 00:40:25,840
Speaker 1: game where they got their bills. Players probably have a

832
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:28,200
Speaker 1: walk through type meeting day today, Steve, I would think, right,

833
00:40:28,239 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 1: thank for the game. Day before the game. Yeah, they

834
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,319
Speaker 1: were out and practicing as we were getting ready to

835
00:40:32,320 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: come on the air. And then it's just game mechanics, right,

836
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,279
Speaker 1: what they really needed, what they really do is they

837
00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,680
Speaker 1: get out on the field, They get everybody on the

838
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: sidelines and they say, okay, here's this group like offense

839
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:48,160
Speaker 1: eleven personnel, and then the guys who know they're starting

840
00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: that day they run out, okay, now twelve those game

841
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:52,960
Speaker 1: of campus will be a challenge. Yeah, and then they

842
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,640
Speaker 1: say okay, now they'll say, like this starting going like

843
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,319
Speaker 1: Butker is gonna play guard? I say, Butker broke his leg.

844
00:41:00,560 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 1: Now it's eleven personnel. So they Butler runs off even

845
00:41:04,280 --> 00:41:07,040
Speaker 1: with a broken limps off, limps off right to give

846
00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: it meaning and whoever's in has to know they're the

847
00:41:09,640 --> 00:41:11,880
Speaker 1: next guy up, you know, and then they'll yeah, and

848
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,120
Speaker 1: then this guy, and then they'll go, you know, field goal,

849
00:41:14,160 --> 00:41:18,760
Speaker 1: Fiegle defense, they'll say free kick on side kick hands team.

850
00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:23,920
Speaker 1: Then the defense is the same way defense nickel, big, nickel, heavy,

851
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,840
Speaker 1: whatever their personnel are, and they go and they stand

852
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,439
Speaker 1: out there and they just run on and off the field.

853
00:41:28,440 --> 00:41:30,280
Speaker 1: The guys who are on and off at any givens

854
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: time have to know without being told. And that goes

855
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 1: for special teams too, And then they'll run through some

856
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 1: gadget plays if they have any of those in there,

857
00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:44,319
Speaker 1: they'll run through those and then that's you know, basically it. Yeah.

858
00:41:44,360 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: Then if they run any team or whatever, Tyree Jackson

859
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: will probably be taking the snaps call here from Ed

860
00:41:49,320 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Go ahead and welcome to the show. Yeah.

861
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: My question is I'm wondering why on Earth they have

862
00:41:57,080 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: eight and acting players on Sunday. For me, sign if

863
00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,239
Speaker 1: you got fifty three guys on him right roster, why

864
00:42:04,280 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: can't they all play on Sunday. Here's the reason ed.

865
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 1: It's a good question. It's a good question, and a

866
00:42:10,480 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 1: buddy of mine just related to me reminded me of

867
00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,440
Speaker 1: why they do that here's why when they set the

868
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:19,240
Speaker 1: roster at fifty three, they only allow you to suit

869
00:42:19,360 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 1: up forty five because here's why, it's a competitive it's

870
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 1: a competitive reason. So, for instance, if the Bills are

871
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:28,920
Speaker 1: playing the Jets on opening Day, and you can suit

872
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 1: up your fifty three guys on the roster, you only

873
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,919
Speaker 1: have fifty three guys on the roster, and you suit

874
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:36,520
Speaker 1: up your whole roster, okay, So the Jets have three

875
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 1: guys that are injured and can't play on opening Day.

876
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,959
Speaker 1: The Bills have eight guys who are injured and can't

877
00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:44,920
Speaker 1: play on opening days. So the Jets go into the

878
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 1: game with fifty guys and the Bills go in with

879
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,000
Speaker 1: forty five. And coaches and owners thought that was a

880
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,840
Speaker 1: competitive disadvantage, so they left that margin of eight guys

881
00:42:53,880 --> 00:42:56,200
Speaker 1: at the end of the roster that could not play

882
00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,640
Speaker 1: as a buffer, so that both teams would suit up

883
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 1: the same number of guys every Sunday, and one of

884
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:07,000
Speaker 1: them who was fully healthy with fifty three guys would

885
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:09,440
Speaker 1: come in and not play a team that only had

886
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 1: forty three guys healthy enough to play or forty five

887
00:43:13,719 --> 00:43:16,120
Speaker 1: guys healthy enough to play. So that's the reason that

888
00:43:16,120 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 1: that is ed got it all right? Thank you guys,

889
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:22,719
Speaker 1: do a good job. Thanks Thanks. Like one more calling.

890
00:43:22,800 --> 00:43:26,120
Speaker 1: This is Vance in north Tonawanda. Hello Vans, you're on

891
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:29,640
Speaker 1: the air with us. Yes, I wanted to bring up

892
00:43:30,200 --> 00:43:32,279
Speaker 1: maybe something that we could do with some of these

893
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,919
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna get cut or some of these

894
00:43:35,920 --> 00:43:38,439
Speaker 1: teams that are looking for running back talent right now.

895
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: I know I read somewhere is that Green Bay is

896
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: looking for running back talent, a veteran possibly that's only

897
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:48,440
Speaker 1: gonna be around for one year, and we all know

898
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: Houston is looking for running back talent. I know this

899
00:43:53,080 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: is gonna be an unpopular opinion, but I could see

900
00:43:58,360 --> 00:44:02,080
Speaker 1: green Bay wanting to take someone like Lashawn McCoy because

901
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 1: he still has something left. He's a proven talent, and

902
00:44:06,320 --> 00:44:09,000
Speaker 1: he's got one year left on the contract he can

903
00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,959
Speaker 1: part raises after that. Maybe we spend someone like DJ

904
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:21,360
Speaker 1: Yeldon down to Houston and either a nice draft pick

905
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: or a couple you know, middraft pick, or even squeeze

906
00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: a player from Masaw McCoy and then get you know,

907
00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: a later round draft pick out of Yelding. I'll sit

908
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: back and Okay, yeah, man, you can do that absolutely,

909
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: what do you look, Well, he's going I don't know

910
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:40,399
Speaker 1: what you're looking for to getting returned. I mean, yes,

911
00:44:40,440 --> 00:44:42,680
Speaker 1: the Bills are not a complete team. But you could

912
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: do that, and that could happen. I'm not ruling that out. Yeah,

913
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:46,799
Speaker 1: I don't think it's likely. But here's the thing that

914
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 1: people always forget about trades. The other team's got to

915
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:53,760
Speaker 1: want to do it, and they've got to have something

916
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:59,520
Speaker 1: you want. I would trade Lashaw McCoy for Aaron Rodgers,

917
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 1: no question. I mean that's what you're talking. I mean,

918
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: that's what we're I mean, I'm not saying we would

919
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,360
Speaker 1: get the better into that, correct, I'm going out on him,

920
00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: although it would cause a huge controversy here, you think,

921
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:13,440
Speaker 1: But you know what I'm saying. Yeah, yeah, if the

922
00:45:13,480 --> 00:45:19,360
Speaker 1: price is right, everything's for sale everything. So yeah, you

923
00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:21,680
Speaker 1: can come up with all the trade scenarios you want.

924
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:25,239
Speaker 1: If the Yeah, and just about every player is up

925
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:29,360
Speaker 1: for grabs. Two. But you know, it's just you gotta

926
00:45:29,400 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: get somebody to say yes, and somebody offer you something

927
00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: that you really want for something that you really don't want.

928
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:39,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, all these trade scenarios you have are perfect.

929
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:42,640
Speaker 1: Like this thing that's been flying around last three weeks

930
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: or four weeks with Jadeveon Clowney. Jadeveon Clowney's not going anywhere.

931
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:50,399
Speaker 1: Houston can't trade him because nobody's gonna take that guy,

932
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 1: not because he's not a phenomenal player, but because you're

933
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: renting him for four months and that doesn't work in

934
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. You're not gonna give whatever it would take

935
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:03,040
Speaker 1: to get Jadeveon Clowney off the Houston Texans for four

936
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,160
Speaker 1: months of his services because you can't sign him until

937
00:46:06,200 --> 00:46:08,760
Speaker 1: the season's over, when he's going to become a free agent.

938
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,480
Speaker 1: So you know, it just just doesn't make any sense

939
00:46:12,520 --> 00:46:15,359
Speaker 1: to even think about thinking that Jadeveon Clowny is gonna

940
00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: go anywhere out of Houston. Reports that County has met

941
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,600
Speaker 1: with the Dolphins coach Brian Floras and other members of

942
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 1: the Dolphins organization. He's met with him, and the Dolphins

943
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,800
Speaker 1: are interested in Texans interested in Dolphins left tackle Jeremie Tunsel.

944
00:46:32,239 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 1: We'll see the Dolphins are gonna get Jadevian Clowney and

945
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,360
Speaker 1: they can't sign him until after the season. Yeah, pay

946
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:42,600
Speaker 1: him one year, pay him one year a lot, and

947
00:46:42,680 --> 00:46:45,319
Speaker 1: then what I hope they make a new deal. I'm

948
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: just saying. The report is ESPN and others that the

949
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: Dolphins have Jeremie Tunsel. Well, there you go. What are

950
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:55,960
Speaker 1: you gonna do? That's crazy. I wouldn't do it, but

951
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:01,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins might. The Dolphins might. That's the you're telling me,

952
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,879
Speaker 1: the Dolphins that would. I didn't make it up. It's

953
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:08,279
Speaker 1: right here. That's crazy talk. The Dolphins are interested in

954
00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:12,280
Speaker 1: training for Jadeveon Clowney and recently met with the pass rusher,

955
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 1: according to ESPN and multiple reports. That's crazy talk. That's

956
00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 1: out there. There's a lot of crazy talk. Let's get

957
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:21,120
Speaker 1: some crazy talk on this show. We're gonna take a break.

958
00:47:21,280 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: When we come back, Tores Taylor, who was just in

959
00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:25,600
Speaker 1: town a week or two ago and does a nice

960
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,600
Speaker 1: piece on Yahoo sports dot com about Josh Allen. We'll

961
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 1: talk to him about that. Come on back. It's One

Speaker 1: in the Minnesota Vikings at New Airfield. I'll have the

978
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:31,360
Speaker 1: call of the game with Eric Wood and Salcapacho on

979
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:35,360
Speaker 1: our flagship radio station in Buffalo, WUGR Sports Radio five fifty.

980
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 1: Vikings got busy with a couple of their roster moves yesterday,

981
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,760
Speaker 1: releasing quarterback ben Abe Ben Wickery and wide receiver Jordan Taylor.

982
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:45,839
Speaker 1: Their roster stands at eighty eight, and Wickery was going

983
00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:47,839
Speaker 1: to be a backup slot corner if he made the team,

984
00:48:47,840 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: but he didn't catch on. Also, the Vikings like that

985
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,279
Speaker 1: they've seen from rookie defensive at Marcus Epps, who played

986
00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,520
Speaker 1: both corner and safety in last week's game. Miami Dolphins

987
00:48:56,560 --> 00:48:59,840
Speaker 1: are interested in training for Houston Techs and star Jadaveian Clowney.

988
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 1: They recently met with the pass rusher. According to ESPM

989
00:49:02,920 --> 00:49:05,879
Speaker 1: and multiple reports, Clowney has met with first year coach

990
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: Brian Flores and other members of the Dolphins organization. They're

991
00:49:09,040 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 1: hoping to persuade the three time Pro bowler to accept

992
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,040
Speaker 1: a trade to Miami. We'll see how that plays out.

1018
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:22,960
Speaker 1: How's it going? It's going well? You were just here

1019
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 1: what last week? We missed you last week, but you

1020
00:50:24,760 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: were in town watching the Bills last week here in

1021
00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:28,920
Speaker 1: what your park? Huh? Yeah, I know, I know, but

1022
00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,719
Speaker 1: I've figured out kind of touch base with you guys

1023
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,320
Speaker 1: when my story actually came out. So it did come out,

1024
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:38,440
Speaker 1: and I just posted a tweet thread twenty or so

1025
00:50:38,520 --> 00:50:41,800
Speaker 1: tweets for my observations for my time and lovely upstate

1026
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:45,160
Speaker 1: New York. So I'm ready to go. Now, we're ready.

1027
00:50:46,080 --> 00:50:48,800
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask you. Let's start out, but your articles

1028
00:50:48,800 --> 00:50:51,080
Speaker 1: about Josh Allen and his being coming a face of

1029
00:50:51,120 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 1: the franchise, what do you think about his chances, about

1030
00:50:54,200 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 1: all that's happened here in this first year and a half,

1031
00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:59,600
Speaker 1: have the Bills done enough to help this guy? I

1032
00:50:59,680 --> 00:51:04,560
Speaker 1: think they've certainly tried at least fifty four point one

1033
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: million and guaranteed money they've spent just on offense in

1034
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 1: free agency this year. I think Cole Beasley is going

1035
00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:14,239
Speaker 1: to be a huge help. They're banking on him to

1036
00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:16,719
Speaker 1: kind of beat Josh Allen security blanket, which he didn't

1037
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 1: even have last year when he was still kind of

1038
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:22,279
Speaker 1: a playmaker, right. And then John Brown's a guy who's

1039
00:51:22,280 --> 00:51:24,319
Speaker 1: a deep thread. I think he can do more, but

1040
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: he's gonna bring it. He's gonna help bring a field

1041
00:51:26,400 --> 00:51:30,839
Speaker 1: stretching component. And I think it's interesting that Alan who

1042
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:32,800
Speaker 1: says he can throw the ball eighty yards, you know.

1043
00:51:32,840 --> 00:51:34,239
Speaker 1: I asked him, I'm like, have you been able to

1044
00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:38,600
Speaker 1: overthrow John Brown? And He's like, no, not yet. So listen,

1045
00:51:38,680 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: I think if you add those two to Zay Jones,

1046
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 1: who was a good player, you know, and then you've

1047
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: got all these running backs. Look, I think Buffalo's got

1048
00:51:46,600 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: some weapons around. They prove the offensive line. I can

1049
00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: voucher Mitch Morris as long as he's healthy. He's a

1050
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,959
Speaker 1: really good player because I covered him in Kansas City,

1051
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: you know, I think. I mean, here's the thing. A

1052
00:51:56,880 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 1: player like Allen is so mobile and elusive. He kind

1053
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 1: of negates like needing like an elite line because he

1054
00:52:02,960 --> 00:52:05,719
Speaker 1: can get away and like do stuff right. And that's

1055
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,360
Speaker 1: what's special about Josh Allen. And that's why I'm buying

1056
00:52:08,680 --> 00:52:13,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen stock. Hey Trees, your article is titled many

1057
00:52:13,600 --> 00:52:15,920
Speaker 1: believe the Bills can have Josh Allen be the heir

1058
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: to the franchise's most famous face. That would be Jim Kelly.

1059
00:52:19,040 --> 00:52:21,360
Speaker 1: Is there pressure, do you believe from your conversation with

1060
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:25,399
Speaker 1: Josh to replace Jim Kelly? To match up to Jim Kelly,

1061
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:26,759
Speaker 1: then be an awful lot to live up to a

1062
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 1: Hall of Famer like that. Well, here's the thing, Like,

1063
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: I don't think that he was. I asked him about that,

1064
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: right because I mean the first thing I asked him

1065
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: was like, hey, how many times Bills fans mentioned the

1066
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 1: early nineties Bills or like Jim Kelly and like, hey,

1067
00:52:41,280 --> 00:52:43,680
Speaker 1: this is coming from fans, Like fans are like, hey,

1068
00:52:43,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: you're the next Jim. Hey, we want you to be

1069
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:47,680
Speaker 1: like Jim, And like, I think the thing is that

1070
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen truly loves the game of football. I think

1071
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: if you sit and talk to him for thirty minutes

1072
00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: like I did, that comes through pretty clear. He's having

1073
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,399
Speaker 1: the time of his life. He enjoys being the face

1074
00:52:57,400 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 1: of him. He's enjoying this. This is all he ever

1075
00:53:00,160 --> 00:53:01,840
Speaker 1: wanted to do growing up. He used to sleep with

1076
00:53:01,880 --> 00:53:05,280
Speaker 1: a football in his bad Like he's enjoying this ride.

1077
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:09,120
Speaker 1: So while that's obviously like big, that's a big goal,

1078
00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: Like Jim Kelly's a Hall of Famer, right, Um, I

1079
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,360
Speaker 1: don't think like the pressure of his like weighing on

1080
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:17,279
Speaker 1: him because he's just having so much fun. And I

1081
00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,959
Speaker 1: think Bill's fans like are really passionate and like there's

1082
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:22,960
Speaker 1: like a lot of I guess there's pressure for him

1083
00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:25,160
Speaker 1: to do it, But like, just because Bill's fans say that,

1084
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,239
Speaker 1: I don't feel like that means like people are going

1085
00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,480
Speaker 1: to start crushing him if he doesn't live up to that,

1086
00:53:29,680 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: Like I think they I think there's I think fans

1087
00:53:32,160 --> 00:53:34,200
Speaker 1: may say that, but also think they probably just want

1088
00:53:34,280 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 1: him to be who he is and that's probably going

1089
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 1: to be good enough down the roads. Well, if the

1090
00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: Bills are going to win more games, they're gonna take

1091
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,640
Speaker 1: more than Josh Allen. They've also done some work on

1092
00:53:42,680 --> 00:53:46,560
Speaker 1: their defense, and do you think this defense could be

1093
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: better than it was in twenty eighteen? It was number

1094
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,320
Speaker 1: two overall in the league, but it's gonna be playing

1095
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:55,839
Speaker 1: with a different kind of offense to compliment this year. Yeah,

1096
00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:57,799
Speaker 1: And I think the thing you got to remember too here, man,

1097
00:53:58,000 --> 00:54:00,560
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a big year from Ed Oliver. Like I

1098
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:04,120
Speaker 1: think that Oliver might win Rookie of the Year. Defensively, okay, um,

1099
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:06,680
Speaker 1: they're playing him at three tech instead of knows, which

1100
00:54:06,719 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: is what he played at Houston, even though he's barely

1101
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: one hundred eighty seven pounds sorte two hundred eighty seven

1102
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,560
Speaker 1: piles Oh my god. M But like he's a three tech,

1103
00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:20,279
Speaker 1: He's a tailor made classic three tech. He's gonna be

1104
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:22,760
Speaker 1: getting up field and he's gonna be looking to make plays.

1105
00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 1: Like I asked Brandon being like, you guys are hey,

1106
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:27,520
Speaker 1: you guys are parking him at three tech? Do you

1107
00:54:27,520 --> 00:54:29,040
Speaker 1: you know when you're doing this, Like it's the goal

1108
00:54:29,080 --> 00:54:30,800
Speaker 1: for him basically just get up the field, attack the

1109
00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:34,359
Speaker 1: shoulder and kick some ass and being with like like

1110
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,479
Speaker 1: so yeah, Um, I know how talented it is. Um,

1111
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:41,440
Speaker 1: I think he's got a football mentality. I'll say, I

1112
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: think he's gonna have an immediate impact early on, and

1113
00:54:44,440 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna help this defense. Tremaine Emmons is

1114
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: another player that really high on. They think is really

1115
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,239
Speaker 1: developed and grown over the last year. They think he

1116
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,040
Speaker 1: has a chance to be a star. So I think

1117
00:54:55,080 --> 00:54:57,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at a lot of improvement from players that

1118
00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,680
Speaker 1: are young. Um, and I do there's a chance that

1119
00:55:00,719 --> 00:55:03,800
Speaker 1: Bill's defense is even better this year. Talking with Tres Tayler,

1120
00:55:03,880 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports, he wrote a big

1121
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,480
Speaker 1: piece about Josh Allen on Yahoo sports dot com. Back

1122
00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:11,799
Speaker 1: to a Josh question for you. I'm thinking about it

1123
00:55:11,840 --> 00:55:13,799
Speaker 1: this week because the Bills are playing the Vikings tomorrow

1124
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,680
Speaker 1: night here tom And last year, Josh's second start came

1125
00:55:17,719 --> 00:55:20,680
Speaker 1: against the Vikings and Bills won that game. Josh jumped

1126
00:55:20,680 --> 00:55:23,920
Speaker 1: over linebacker Anthony Barr, which was fantastic one of the

1127
00:55:23,960 --> 00:55:26,400
Speaker 1: season highlights. But I don't think the Bills are looking

1128
00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,000
Speaker 1: for that from him this year. They want him to

1129
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 1: become more of a pocket passer. Is that in the cards?

1130
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,479
Speaker 1: From what you can tell from from what he said

1131
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:34,600
Speaker 1: and what the Bills said, what do you think? Yeah,

1132
00:55:34,640 --> 00:55:36,319
Speaker 1: I definitely think so. Like I don't think that was

1133
00:55:36,400 --> 00:55:38,400
Speaker 1: like part of the plan for Bun as much as

1134
00:55:38,400 --> 00:55:41,239
Speaker 1: he did last year, right, But they also want to

1135
00:55:41,280 --> 00:55:44,040
Speaker 1: win games, Like they're not gonna like tell him to

1136
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: like you know outward, they like don't make plays like

1137
00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like they that's one of

1138
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:52,640
Speaker 1: the best passes of his game. He's a big kid,

1139
00:55:52,760 --> 00:55:55,120
Speaker 1: you know he can handle him. But do they want

1140
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,160
Speaker 1: him to get better as a passer? Absolutely? Does he

1141
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,359
Speaker 1: need to get better as a passer, Absolutely, you need

1142
00:55:59,400 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: to stop for balls, like sure, the passing percentage need

1143
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:07,440
Speaker 1: to improve. Absolutely, But guys like this are rare. Like

1144
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,720
Speaker 1: what makes him special is that he can do both

1145
00:56:10,360 --> 00:56:13,359
Speaker 1: and in today's game, which is so wide open, Like,

1146
00:56:13,480 --> 00:56:16,480
Speaker 1: don't I don't think it benefits like a special quarterback

1147
00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: who can like run around and do stuff to like

1148
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:20,839
Speaker 1: limit him to just being in the pocket. You want

1149
00:56:20,840 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: to work on the pocket stuff, but you still need

1150
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: to like let the player embrace who he is. So

1151
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 1: I think there's a middle ground there, and I think

1152
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,520
Speaker 1: Alan's got to walk it. One of the other things

1153
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:33,240
Speaker 1: about this team you asked you talked about Ed Oliver

1154
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:35,080
Speaker 1: and the impact you think he's going to make. There

1155
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 1: are other some late round draft picks that may make

1156
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,319
Speaker 1: an impact. We've seen him flash a little bit here

1157
00:56:40,320 --> 00:56:43,719
Speaker 1: in the preseason, guys like Daryl Johnson the defensive end,

1158
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: and also Tommy Sweeney the tight end. What are your

1159
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:49,239
Speaker 1: thoughts about the young guys around who are drafted a

1160
00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:54,400
Speaker 1: little bit later making an impact. Well, the first thing

1161
00:56:54,440 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 1: I'll also mention Devin Singletary. Oh, I thought it was

1162
00:56:58,360 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 1: interesting the Bills drafted him because they took him in

1163
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 1: the third round even though he tested really portered physically,

1164
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 1: and that's the kind of like the way he tested

1165
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: made him up round pick for something. But being like

1166
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: really trusted eyes and he saw that, you know, this

1167
00:57:12,680 --> 00:57:14,600
Speaker 1: is a guy that's just a good football player. So

1168
00:57:14,600 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: he said, screw it, I'm gonna take this guy. Um,

1169
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,840
Speaker 1: So they're really high on him. But you're right, Tommy

1170
00:57:18,880 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: Sweeney is the guy, another guy who didn't test great

1171
00:57:20,760 --> 00:57:23,360
Speaker 1: physically in the pre cheft process. You guys know that matters.

1172
00:57:23,560 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 1: Teams want to know if you have the talent in

1173
00:57:25,320 --> 00:57:29,040
Speaker 1: your body. But Sweeney's just a football player. He blocks,

1174
00:57:29,040 --> 00:57:32,000
Speaker 1: he catches well, he knows his assignment, he's handled first

1175
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: string reps, and he's a guy who's done all that

1176
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,360
Speaker 1: m it hasn't looked overwhelmed by the moment. So he's

1177
00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,080
Speaker 1: somebody they're really high on. And you mentioned Johnson. He's

1178
00:57:40,080 --> 00:57:43,400
Speaker 1: a physical free and you know that's somebody that they're

1179
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 1: really high on that they think's got a chance to

1180
00:57:45,360 --> 00:57:47,880
Speaker 1: be a really good player down the road. So you're right.

1181
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 1: The Bills, you know there there's you know beyond just

1182
00:57:50,960 --> 00:57:53,440
Speaker 1: at Oliver are like, they're excited about this draft class man.

1183
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: I got a chance to see while a little bit

1184
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: when I was up there. They're excited about the second

1185
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,680
Speaker 1: year for Jeremaine Edmunds, And you are too right. Troy

1186
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 1: wrote about him a little bit Yeah, I think Edmonds

1187
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:06,280
Speaker 1: is a guy. Again, his eyes are improving. You know,

1188
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,080
Speaker 1: there's no doubt about the physical ability. Like, physically, this

1189
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 1: guy's got the good you know, he is a freaking linebacker. Um,

1190
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,680
Speaker 1: probably in the nine eightieth percentiles among linebackers in the

1191
00:58:19,800 --> 00:58:22,800
Speaker 1: NFL is wrong as well as physicality when it comes

1192
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,080
Speaker 1: to physicality. Um, his thing is like he just needed

1193
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: to train his eyes, you know. Um, it took it takes.

1194
00:58:30,120 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: It took him a lot of process and stuff. Um,

1195
00:58:32,600 --> 00:58:35,439
Speaker 1: but he's gotten better there. And he's still a young guy.

1196
00:58:36,040 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 1: And oftentimes what you see with players like that is

1197
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:44,080
Speaker 1: that the more they play in the play, they think

1198
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,480
Speaker 1: he ever stand to be something special. One. I think

1199
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:50,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo and you know, the Bills are gonna be able

1200
00:58:50,320 --> 00:58:52,120
Speaker 1: to get after some people this year. I think it's

1201
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch um. And if he develops

1202
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:58,360
Speaker 1: the way they think he does. You know, you're talking

1203
00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:00,840
Speaker 1: about some special young guys in the front seven now

1204
00:59:01,200 --> 00:59:03,640
Speaker 1: between him and that all of them, Um, it'd be

1205
00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:07,400
Speaker 1: really fun to watch how those guys develop. Over the

1206
00:59:07,400 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 1: course of this past week, the whole league was shocked

1207
00:59:10,040 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: a little bit about the retirement of Andrew Luck. What

1208
00:59:12,840 --> 00:59:15,160
Speaker 1: are your thoughts on what the Colts do move on,

1209
00:59:15,280 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 1: how they move on with Jacobe Brissette. What's that gonna

1210
00:59:17,640 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: do to the rest of the division and maybe even

1211
00:59:20,040 --> 00:59:22,520
Speaker 1: the conference. Well, I think it opens it up for

1212
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars of Texas. UM. You know, I think I

1213
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: think that UM. I like the Jaguars. I think that

1214
00:59:32,440 --> 00:59:35,120
Speaker 1: is a team that made the ANFC Championship Game two

1215
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:37,439
Speaker 1: years ago and basically full apart because they didn't believe

1216
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:40,680
Speaker 1: in their quarterback anymore. Well, Nick Foles is Super Bowl winner.

1217
00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,920
Speaker 1: You should help Pussette. UM. And I think the Texans

1218
00:59:45,120 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 1: they they're gonna challenge for a winning record, even though

1219
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: very serious concerns about how they're protecting to Shaun Watson.

1220
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 1: So I think that opens up the division. I don't

1221
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,520
Speaker 1: think Indian out buzz is a bad per se, but

1222
00:59:55,560 --> 00:59:58,240
Speaker 1: I think going from Luck to Brissette changes they're when

1223
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 1: they're stealing from like eleven twel winds to make it nine.

1224
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,160
Speaker 1: UM can if you're lucky. So UM, that opens up

1225
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:07,760
Speaker 1: the division. I do think only one team from the

1226
01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:10,560
Speaker 1: division is making the playoffs, so it'll be interesting to see.

1227
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 1: You know that he is try as you point out,

1228
01:00:13,520 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: Brissette kind of went through a similar thing, not as

1229
01:00:15,880 --> 01:00:18,560
Speaker 1: long term, but when he had to jump in in

1230
01:00:18,720 --> 01:00:21,760
Speaker 1: place of Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo a couple of

1231
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: years ago. He knows what it's like to kind of

1232
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: fill the shoes of a of a great quarterback Jacobe Brissette.

1233
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:28,919
Speaker 1: That might serve him well over the next couple of weeks. Huh,

1234
01:00:29,160 --> 01:00:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, I think it will, which is why I

1235
01:00:30,640 --> 01:00:32,440
Speaker 1: don't think this is going to be like a Paris play.

1236
01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna be twenty seventeen again. So

1237
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 1: a few guys finished with a high pick. You know,

1238
01:00:37,880 --> 01:00:40,000
Speaker 1: I don't think that's coming. I think these guys are

1239
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 1: gonna be pretty competitive. It's a good team around him,

1240
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: and like it's one of the best young offensive library football.

1241
01:00:46,880 --> 01:00:48,919
Speaker 1: That offensive line, by the way, is now being told

1242
01:00:48,920 --> 01:00:51,800
Speaker 1: to buy an absolute legend and a great Howard mud

1243
01:00:52,080 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 1: Frey Black is one of the best offensive minds of football,

1244
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: and the defense young is read by one of the

1245
01:00:58,360 --> 01:01:01,320
Speaker 1: best young the coordinators of football. This is a good

1246
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:06,000
Speaker 1: team even with Andrew love Dawn. Like Jacobe Brissette, by

1247
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:09,280
Speaker 1: the way, I have a saying the contract year is undefeated, right,

1248
01:01:09,400 --> 01:01:12,240
Speaker 1: I guess who's in a contract year. Jacobe Brissette would

1249
01:01:12,360 --> 01:01:14,680
Speaker 1: not surprise me to see the Colts still finished nine

1250
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:17,320
Speaker 1: to seven and maybe even pushed two wins. Again, I'm

1251
01:01:17,320 --> 01:01:20,400
Speaker 1: not thrilled about that division. I'm not certain that this

1252
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: has to be it for the Colts. Man. I'm just

1253
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:26,880
Speaker 1: not let me switch gears here a little bit, because

1254
01:01:26,880 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 1: i'd watch, you know, the Bills got Vikings here tomorrow night.

1255
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:33,840
Speaker 1: I watched Minnesota's preseason game number three last night tape

1256
01:01:33,840 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 1: of that game, and I have to confess I was surprised,

1257
01:01:37,080 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 1: almost shocked at Kirk Cousins and how poorly he played. Uh.

1258
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 1: I'm sure they're looking for Kirk Cousins to have a

1259
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: better year than and a year ago, but from what

1260
01:01:45,600 --> 01:01:49,160
Speaker 1: I saw in last week's game, that's not that's may

1261
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 1: not happen. Would you have any thoughts on Kirk Cousins

1262
01:01:51,200 --> 01:01:54,400
Speaker 1: and the Vikings. Yeah, it doesn't really concern me very much.

1263
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, they've basically built that entire like offense around

1264
01:01:57,520 --> 01:02:00,919
Speaker 1: the play action, and you know, the run game naything.

1265
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 1: The offensive line is gonna be a lot better this year,

1266
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:06,120
Speaker 1: and Kirk is so comfortable operating out of the play action.

1267
01:02:06,200 --> 01:02:08,240
Speaker 1: You know, teams don't run their best stuff in the

1268
01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,120
Speaker 1: in the preseason, so like, I get it, Like obviously

1269
01:02:11,160 --> 01:02:13,920
Speaker 1: you'd like to see him play better, but as far

1270
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:16,440
Speaker 1: as like, you know, being super concerned, and I'm not

1271
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: m I had a chance to visit in Minnesota during

1272
01:02:19,120 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 1: my camp tour, which I did in Buffalo, and actually

1273
01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: I went to Minnesota right before I got to Buffalo. Listen,

1274
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,480
Speaker 1: as far as quarterbacks go, when I'd rather have Josh Allen, yeah,

1275
01:02:28,520 --> 01:02:32,080
Speaker 1: I wanted. I think Josh has a chance to be special.

1276
01:02:32,200 --> 01:02:35,880
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean that Kirk Cousins won't be solid

1277
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:38,280
Speaker 1: enough for those guys to win the division or um,

1278
01:02:38,440 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: you know, advancing the playoffs like that might be possible.

1279
01:02:40,880 --> 01:02:43,040
Speaker 1: But he is definitely a guy where like the defense

1280
01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:45,160
Speaker 1: is gonna have to be on point, which is a possibility,

1281
01:02:45,320 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: you know, Mike Zimmer is a great defensive coach, and

1282
01:02:47,520 --> 01:02:50,000
Speaker 1: like the run game is gonna have to be on point.

1283
01:02:50,320 --> 01:02:53,200
Speaker 1: You see that work in the NFL with a quarterback

1284
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:56,080
Speaker 1: like that about once every seven years, once every eight years.

1285
01:02:56,400 --> 01:02:59,000
Speaker 1: I happened last time with Joe Flack on twenty twelve.

1286
01:02:59,080 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 1: But even then, the best gotta get hot, like, um,

1287
01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 1: you know, Trent Dilfer or Brad Johnson and Joe Flaco

1288
01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: that year performed so you know, not even the world.

1289
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:10,800
Speaker 1: But um, yeah, would you rather have a guy that

1290
01:03:10,880 --> 01:03:13,680
Speaker 1: just outrely makes like crazy plays and can like win

1291
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:16,680
Speaker 1: in January about with the sheer talent? Yeah you would,

1292
01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 1: but doesn't necessarily mean that. Um you know that's gonna

1293
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:21,760
Speaker 1: keep the Vikings from getting where they want to go.

1294
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:27,240
Speaker 1: How big a difference can Gary Kubiak make? Huge? Yeah? Right, yeah,

1295
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 1: I mean very rarely does Gary Kubiak go to a

1296
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 1: place in the quarterbacks play woice you know, it just

1297
01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:35,880
Speaker 1: never happened it. Kubiak is amazing, you know, so, um

1298
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: he quarterback guru, He is a play action guru. He

1299
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,520
Speaker 1: is somebody that knows what he's doing on that side

1300
01:03:42,560 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 1: of the ball. And I think adding him Astefanski, who

1301
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: is really highly regarded. He's gonna be a head coach

1302
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 1: in this league sooner rather than later. And they weren't

1303
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: gonna show all of that, um, you know during this preseason.

1304
01:03:55,920 --> 01:03:59,840
Speaker 1: You see. Sorry, if I think are gonna be okay,

1305
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,920
Speaker 1: and you know, I expect the Vikings to contend to

1306
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 1: the energy dreas Tayler. I guess from Yahoo sports dot

1307
01:04:06,160 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: com Dreds. Uh, we're right down the road from Cleveland,

1308
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: the capital of NFL offseason hype this summer is the

1309
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:15,080
Speaker 1: high warranted? And what role does Freddie Kitchens have to

1310
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:16,680
Speaker 1: play down there to kind of keep everybody on the

1311
01:04:16,720 --> 01:04:20,840
Speaker 1: same page. Yeah. I spent some time in Cleveland, Coom

1312
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: trying to learn what Freddy Kitchens is. Uh. The leadership

1313
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:26,160
Speaker 1: style is like he took some stuff from Nick saban

1314
01:04:26,440 --> 01:04:29,640
Speaker 1: um Bill parcels. But more than anything, he just seems

1315
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,120
Speaker 1: like a cool dude. And I think that's gonna help him. Um.

1316
01:04:32,240 --> 01:04:33,800
Speaker 1: I think it'll help that team to get off to

1317
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: a good start because they do have a lot of

1318
01:04:35,200 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 1: big personalities. I think they're gonna put up a lot

1319
01:04:37,480 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: of points to show, like Baker Mayfield and Odell are

1320
01:04:40,040 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 1: legit Tho, those guys are gonna put up a lot

1321
01:04:41,800 --> 01:04:44,840
Speaker 1: of points to share. Um. The defense, Steve Wolves is

1322
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:46,720
Speaker 1: in charge. He knows what he's doing, you know. I

1323
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:48,320
Speaker 1: think the Bills that can I'm sorry, I think the

1324
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:51,400
Speaker 1: Browns to contend for the AFC North, but I do

1325
01:04:51,480 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 1: like the Steelers more. I think the drums free Steelers

1326
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:57,920
Speaker 1: are gonna win that division. Well, I'm gonna ask you

1327
01:04:57,920 --> 01:04:59,880
Speaker 1: about their team. You covered for so many years that

1328
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs, that Patrick Mahomes who came in and

1329
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:06,480
Speaker 1: just exploded onto the scene last year with an MVP year,

1330
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: But things have changed on his side of the ball.

1331
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 1: How's Andy Reid gonna make up for the loss of

1332
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:12,439
Speaker 1: some of the players that got him to the AFC

1333
01:05:12,600 --> 01:05:16,200
Speaker 1: Championship last year. Yeah, I don't think they're worried about that,

1334
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:19,240
Speaker 1: to be honest, guys. I think offensively they expect to

1335
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:23,640
Speaker 1: be really good again, and defensively, they think they've upgraded

1336
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: at defensive end. Remember they let go with Justin Houston

1337
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,040
Speaker 1: and D four, but I think Frank Clark is in

1338
01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 1: the combination ends they've got is an upgrade. And they

1339
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:35,600
Speaker 1: also think they're better at safety simply because Eric Barry

1340
01:05:35,960 --> 01:05:39,560
Speaker 1: early played last year. So you know, they think that

1341
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,320
Speaker 1: Tyrd Matthew is gonna bring leadership and he's gonna be there.

1342
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:45,080
Speaker 1: Between Matthew and Clark, they're gonna hold players on the

1343
01:05:45,080 --> 01:05:47,880
Speaker 1: defense accountable and a kind of way they've lacked and

1344
01:05:48,000 --> 01:05:50,959
Speaker 1: then past January at least not had a tough off

1345
01:05:51,800 --> 01:05:54,720
Speaker 1: and try to prevent more defensive collapses so that they're

1346
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 1: better on defense. I agree with them. I do think

1347
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: they're better on defense. And you know, the Chiefs got

1348
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:02,320
Speaker 1: out of this offseason. Whether it's good enough to get

1349
01:06:02,360 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, you know, we'll see, but the

1350
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: Chiefs did get better this offseason. Terres, who wins that division?

1351
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:11,120
Speaker 1: The Chiefs, the Chargers? Oh yeah, she's the one that Yeah.

1352
01:06:11,840 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 1: I don't like the Chargers dealing with this Gordon thing,

1353
01:06:14,560 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 1: Novah Gordon thing, and like their tackle situations like welso

1354
01:06:18,760 --> 01:06:21,240
Speaker 1: Oak comes questionable and then the right tackle has been

1355
01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: a question the whole time too. I just look, Philip

1356
01:06:23,880 --> 01:06:25,720
Speaker 1: rivers can't really move, so you gotta be able to

1357
01:06:25,760 --> 01:06:30,680
Speaker 1: protect them that these are concerned, you know. So um,

1358
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:32,800
Speaker 1: I actually think the Bills have a chance to Like,

1359
01:06:33,960 --> 01:06:36,560
Speaker 1: I think the Bills will make the wild card or

1360
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:38,840
Speaker 1: contend for it at least. And I think, you know,

1361
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,360
Speaker 1: the Browns make a wild card too, you know, make

1362
01:06:41,360 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 1: the wild card round too. I need the NC Westers

1363
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:45,480
Speaker 1: get one team out of here. I think it's gonna

1364
01:06:45,480 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: be Kansas City. Wow. Okay, okay, and Tress, thanks for

1365
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,360
Speaker 1: this good stuff on the bells. We're gonna encourage people

1366
01:06:50,360 --> 01:06:51,880
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on that thank you for joining

1367
01:06:51,920 --> 01:06:54,720
Speaker 1: us today. Hope we talk again soon. Yeah, anytime, guys.

1368
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,400
Speaker 1: Thank you. Dress Tayler, senior NFL writer for Yahoo Sports,

1369
01:06:58,400 --> 01:07:01,320
Speaker 1: hosted the Yahoo Sports and Feld podcast. He was here

1370
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,320
Speaker 1: just a week or two ago at Bill's camp and

1371
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 1: has written a ton about the Bills. You can find

1372
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: it at Yahoo dot com, including a big article about

1373
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen how the Bills believe Josh Allen can be

1374
01:07:10,880 --> 01:07:14,320
Speaker 1: the heir to the franchise most famous face. Thank you

1375
01:07:14,360 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: to Terres Payler for joining us. I don't know about you.

1376
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 1: I am reluctant to compare Josh or anyone really to

1377
01:07:21,560 --> 01:07:23,120
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly. You know what I mean. It's it's an

1378
01:07:23,120 --> 01:07:27,080
Speaker 1: easy one of a kind, right, And there's every guy

1379
01:07:27,160 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: you see out there and watch closely and get to

1380
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 1: know are different. You know, Peyton Manning is different than

1381
01:07:35,800 --> 01:07:39,080
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Aaron Rodgers is different than Patrick Mahomes, and

1382
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes is different than Philip Rivers, every guy, and

1383
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:44,920
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is different than all of those guys. So

1384
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:47,400
Speaker 1: they're all you know, They've all got something they bring

1385
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:50,360
Speaker 1: to the table and bring to that to the game

1386
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:52,600
Speaker 1: that is special and unique to each one. Of them,

1387
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:54,720
Speaker 1: and I think the thing that sets it apart that

1388
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: never gets enough credit is the relationship that that coaching

1389
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:01,240
Speaker 1: staff and that system and the program and the team

1390
01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,320
Speaker 1: and the city has with the quarterback. That is theirs

1391
01:08:04,560 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Green Bay with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees in New Orleans,

1392
01:08:08,720 --> 01:08:11,680
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in LA. You know all these guys, Russell

1393
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,880
Speaker 1: Wilson in Seattle. You can go down the list, Ben

1394
01:08:14,000 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger in Pittsburgh. And the relationship between that coaching staff

1395
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:21,559
Speaker 1: that I was that I played for along with Jim Kelly,

1396
01:08:21,960 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 1: and the way Jim ran that offense and those what

1397
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:27,920
Speaker 1: those things, the things that that coaching staff asked Jim

1398
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:30,960
Speaker 1: Kelly to do, and their relationship with that and the

1399
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,800
Speaker 1: town that they played in. All of that stuff goes

1400
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 1: into the mixes to how good a quarterback can be,

1401
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:38,040
Speaker 1: and it makes all of them look a little differently,

1402
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 1: makes them all unique, and you can get I mean,

1403
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:43,840
Speaker 1: for as many quarterbacks that are in the Hall of Fame,

1404
01:08:44,120 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 1: there's that many different ways to get in. Certainly it

1405
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 1: produced production is the one way that gets everybody's attention,

1406
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,360
Speaker 1: but that production comes a number of different ways. And

1407
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,160
Speaker 1: you're right, Jim was one of a kind, and I

1408
01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 1: think Josh has got a chance to be one of

1409
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 1: a kind guy. I'm not saying he's gonna be a lead.

1410
01:08:59,360 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying he's he's a first ballot Hall of

1411
01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:05,439
Speaker 1: Famer like Jim was. But he's got a chance to

1412
01:09:05,479 --> 01:09:08,040
Speaker 1: be really good. He's got to prove it. He knows it.

1413
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,000
Speaker 1: But he's doing just about everything you can think of

1414
01:09:11,080 --> 01:09:13,479
Speaker 1: and anything that you and I have observed, anything we've

1415
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:15,400
Speaker 1: heard about from the guys in the building. He's doing

1416
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:19,920
Speaker 1: it right. Not a guarantee, but at least he's doing

1417
01:09:19,960 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 1: it right right. So you have to wait and see

1418
01:09:22,360 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 1: what the results are going to be. Yep, nobody likes

1419
01:09:24,360 --> 01:09:27,400
Speaker 1: to wait. Yeah, that's right. But this fourth preseason game

1420
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:30,120
Speaker 1: that is holding up the entire universe right there. You

1421
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,840
Speaker 1: did not want to wait to talk about past interference ins.

1422
01:09:32,880 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: The replay calls, Yeah, you're gonna get your chance in

1423
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: a couple of minutes. Can you hold your water for

1424
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 1: five minutes please? It's like the fourth preseason game, right,

1425
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it when we return. We got a

1426
01:09:42,880 --> 01:09:45,000
Speaker 1: lot more to come to We got coming up at

1427
01:09:45,040 --> 01:09:48,120
Speaker 1: two o'clock. More quarterback talk with Jimmy Kubiak, western New

1428
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 1: York native and a former NFL quarterback. He's got some

1429
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 1: thoughts on Josh Allen, and on Man Parkley and on

1430
01:09:53,920 --> 01:09:56,080
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson. That's coming up at two. Steve and I

1431
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,639
Speaker 1: had to talk about pass interference in the replay rule.

1432
01:09:58,640 --> 01:10:00,800
Speaker 1: How's that working out so far? Come on back. It's

1433
01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:03,439
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Klata Hell from One Bill's Drive.

1434
01:10:03,800 --> 01:10:18,200
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back. Halfway through the show.

1435
01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:20,800
Speaker 1: We're here until three. John Murphy's Steve Tasker got Jim

1436
01:10:20,880 --> 01:10:22,559
Speaker 1: Kobe I coming up with us at two o'clock talk

1437
01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:25,519
Speaker 1: about the quarterbacks, Bills quarterbacks and some others. I want

1438
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: to know what you've learned from the first three preseason

1439
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: games this year. One more to go in tomorrow night,

1440
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,120
Speaker 1: but you've had three games to watch. What have you

1441
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 1: picked up about the twenty nineteen Bills. And again, we're

1442
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,760
Speaker 1: not talking about roster moves here or who's gonna make

1443
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,360
Speaker 1: the who's gonna start, who's gonna be the you know,

1444
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:42,840
Speaker 1: the six wide receiver. More about the twenty nineteen Bills.

1445
01:10:42,840 --> 01:10:45,080
Speaker 1: What have you learned about the twenty nineteen Bills. It's

1446
01:10:45,080 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll it's been up for a couple of

1447
01:10:46,800 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 1: hours and we got a bunch of votes in and

1448
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:52,120
Speaker 1: we want to know from you. I'm gonna six hundred

1449
01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: forty five votes in so far. I want to hear

1450
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:55,760
Speaker 1: from you. What have you learned from the bills first

1451
01:10:55,800 --> 01:10:59,000
Speaker 1: three preseason games so far? Thirty five percent of you

1452
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,519
Speaker 1: say you've learned that the defense will be better than

1453
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. Twenty six percent say you

1454
01:11:04,160 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 1: learned that the run game will be better than a

1455
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 1: year ago. Twenty five percent of you say you've learned

1456
01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: the pass game will be better than it was a

1457
01:11:11,880 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: year ago. Fourteen percent have something else in mind. Let's

1458
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:15,920
Speaker 1: hear from you. Give us a call eight oh three

1459
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:18,920
Speaker 1: h five fifty toll free you from outside Buffalo one

1460
01:11:19,080 --> 01:11:22,280
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. The line's

1461
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,080
Speaker 1: wide open, Steve, you want to go to the tweet sheet.

1462
01:11:24,080 --> 01:11:26,839
Speaker 1: It's brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

1463
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,240
Speaker 1: moves of the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, this from Darrel. He says,

1464
01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,360
Speaker 1: I've learned that the passing aspect of the offense is

1465
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: going to need some more consistency and a little bit

1466
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,320
Speaker 1: more of an identity because last year we the Bills

1467
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: were more of a vertical passing offense, but considering the

1468
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:41,680
Speaker 1: new wide receivers, now are we going to be a

1469
01:11:41,720 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: bit more of a passing game offense. Also from Seth,

1470
01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:47,720
Speaker 1: he says the run game will be much better for

1471
01:11:48,080 --> 01:11:51,200
Speaker 1: four headed Monster with number seventeen Josh Allen scrambling. A

1472
01:11:51,920 --> 01:11:54,800
Speaker 1: vastly improved run game will open up the passing game

1473
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,040
Speaker 1: and even help the defense by increasing time of possession.

1474
01:11:58,040 --> 01:12:00,639
Speaker 1: Opposing offenses will be forced to make take more risks

1475
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: with limited possession turminovers all year. There's a wide ranging

1476
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,639
Speaker 1: projections from Seth there, but yeah, I mean that's it's

1477
01:12:10,680 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: all going to be complimentary. I've stated for the last

1478
01:12:13,080 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: couple of weeks how I think that the defense was

1479
01:12:17,880 --> 01:12:21,320
Speaker 1: solid last year in large measure because they were playing

1480
01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:24,160
Speaker 1: offenses that were close to the playing close to the vest.

1481
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,519
Speaker 1: They didn't get a chance to rush the passer very much.

1482
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:29,360
Speaker 1: They had had to be stout against the run as

1483
01:12:29,439 --> 01:12:30,920
Speaker 1: much as they could because they were seeing a lot

1484
01:12:30,960 --> 01:12:32,720
Speaker 1: of that, and they never got a chance to really

1485
01:12:32,760 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: get the turnovers that they would have gotten got the

1486
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:40,880
Speaker 1: two years ago because the offenses they played were so conservative.

1487
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:43,599
Speaker 1: The third the next tweet I want to read from

1488
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:46,040
Speaker 1: Bernie comes close to something. A point that I thought

1489
01:12:46,080 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 1: about would like to make Bernie tweets and I picked other.

1490
01:12:49,240 --> 01:12:51,240
Speaker 1: I think we've seen improvements in both the run and

1491
01:12:51,280 --> 01:12:53,920
Speaker 1: the pass games, so the game planning options can be

1492
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:56,880
Speaker 1: tailored to the opponent much better than last year. I'm

1493
01:12:56,920 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: going to talk about that. I only worry, Bernie says

1494
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,759
Speaker 1: is the kicking game, especially the punter. The defense continues

1495
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:03,639
Speaker 1: to look really good. I think I said it before

1496
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,360
Speaker 1: preseason game number one, or maybe when they went to camp.

1497
01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:08,840
Speaker 1: I remember saying it to you, Steve, how they needed

1498
01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 1: to establish this preseason that they have a viable passing game.

1499
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,160
Speaker 1: A viable passing game not viable last year, second worst

1500
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,160
Speaker 1: in the league number wise, and he just knew they

1501
01:13:18,160 --> 01:13:19,960
Speaker 1: didn't have a lot of weapons, they didn't have good

1502
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: pass protection, and Josh Allen struggled with all of that

1503
01:13:22,880 --> 01:13:25,320
Speaker 1: around him too. They need to be viable, not great

1504
01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:27,519
Speaker 1: in the passing offense, but viable this year to have

1505
01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:30,759
Speaker 1: the threat. As Bernie points out on Twitter, game planning

1506
01:13:30,760 --> 01:13:32,920
Speaker 1: options can be tailored to the opponent much better than

1507
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,240
Speaker 1: last year. Right, If they have a viable passing game,

1508
01:13:35,280 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: you won't be able to load up the box and say,

1509
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,800
Speaker 1: we know you can't throw it, we're gonna stop your

1510
01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: run too. Think about what the coaching staff was up against.

1511
01:13:42,200 --> 01:13:44,280
Speaker 1: Last year. They had an offensive line that couldn't push

1512
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 1: anybody out of the way in the running game, had

1513
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:49,280
Speaker 1: virtually no running game at all. Last year, they had

1514
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:53,040
Speaker 1: an offense that had a young quarterback that was facing

1515
01:13:53,080 --> 01:13:57,479
Speaker 1: eight guys in the box and defenses that were trying

1516
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,960
Speaker 1: to do in some exotic stuff to confuse him and everything,

1517
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:04,080
Speaker 1: and they didn't have anybody that could get separation underneath

1518
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:06,360
Speaker 1: fifteen yards down the field. And the only way they

1519
01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:10,320
Speaker 1: were making anything happen consistently was if they schemed somebody

1520
01:14:10,320 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 1: and got somebody sprung deep for a deep ball, if

1521
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: the safety guests wrong, and that was it, and that

1522
01:14:17,560 --> 01:14:20,519
Speaker 1: leads to a fourteen points a game offense. You can't

1523
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:26,680
Speaker 1: win like that, But that's basically the only weapon the

1524
01:14:26,760 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 1: offensive coaching staff had to game plan around that no

1525
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 1: running game. The only thing they could predict was that, yeah,

1526
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:34,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna see eight or nine guys in the box.

1527
01:14:34,760 --> 01:14:36,360
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do. We don't have anybody can

1528
01:14:36,360 --> 01:14:38,040
Speaker 1: get open against one on one coverage. You don't have

1529
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: anybody that can go up and get it or get loose.

1530
01:14:40,520 --> 01:14:42,439
Speaker 1: We don't have two or three guys that can force

1531
01:14:42,479 --> 01:14:44,160
Speaker 1: the defense to spread. We don't have any of that.

1532
01:14:44,400 --> 01:14:46,759
Speaker 1: So they were limited in what they could even game

1533
01:14:46,800 --> 01:14:49,880
Speaker 1: plan to do, let alone what the other defense was

1534
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:52,759
Speaker 1: good at or bad at. So this year you would

1535
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:55,559
Speaker 1: think that they could take a deep breath and say, Okay,

1536
01:14:56,080 --> 01:14:58,240
Speaker 1: we think we can beat them here and here and here,

1537
01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:00,200
Speaker 1: and we have now look at this, we can this

1538
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: guy here and that guy there, and we could beat him.

1539
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,439
Speaker 1: That's a completely different scenario than you were out a

1540
01:15:06,520 --> 01:15:11,519
Speaker 1: year ago. So I'm Bernie's right. This offensive coaching staff

1541
01:15:11,560 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: has got a lot more going for it this year

1542
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 1: than it did a year ago. That is because that

1543
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,280
Speaker 1: is if they can run the ball a little bit

1544
01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:21,080
Speaker 1: and throw it a little bit, because it last year

1545
01:15:21,200 --> 01:15:24,200
Speaker 1: sometimes they couldn't do either. Get good responses to this

1546
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: on Twitter. Let's hear you on the phone. Nine, what

1547
01:15:26,000 --> 01:15:28,479
Speaker 1: did you learn from the Bill's first three preseason games

1548
01:15:28,479 --> 01:15:30,880
Speaker 1: that apply the twenty nineteen And maybe you want to

1549
01:15:30,880 --> 01:15:33,360
Speaker 1: talk about the roster cuts. That's that's kind of the

1550
01:15:33,400 --> 01:15:36,759
Speaker 1: pre eminent discussion point right now. Roster cut's coming on Saturday.

1551
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:39,759
Speaker 1: So the Bills play tomorrow and they meet and huddle

1552
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:42,479
Speaker 1: up as a coaching staff, give the players the weekend off,

1553
01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,760
Speaker 1: and the roster cuts. Four pm Saturday is the cutdown day.

1554
01:15:45,800 --> 01:15:48,240
Speaker 1: Maybe they'll do something Friday. I don't know now. Some

1555
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,240
Speaker 1: of the rules the players cut who have less than

1556
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:54,439
Speaker 1: four accrued season subject to league wide waivers. Yes, that

1557
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:59,280
Speaker 1: includes Christian Wade. Any player placed on injured reserve at

1558
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:03,519
Speaker 1: or before m Saturday is out for the twenty nineteen season.

1559
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:07,840
Speaker 1: And there are recallable I our players, but that's got

1560
01:16:07,840 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: to wait, I guess until after four pm. And the

1561
01:16:10,439 --> 01:16:12,880
Speaker 1: waiver order follows the draft order at this point in

1562
01:16:12,880 --> 01:16:14,439
Speaker 1: the season. You get to a point around mid season

1563
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: where it goes on this season's records. Three weeks and

1564
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: they changed the draft order the waiver order after like

1565
01:16:20,200 --> 01:16:22,320
Speaker 1: the first month of the season, and then yeah it

1566
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:27,439
Speaker 1: begins again. But yeah, the rumors and the questions about

1567
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,400
Speaker 1: Christian Wade and his status, you know, continue to abound,

1568
01:16:30,439 --> 01:16:32,040
Speaker 1: because he's gonna get some reps. They're gonna get a

1569
01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: chance to see him an extended action, and I think

1570
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna see him probably be forced into by the

1571
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,800
Speaker 1: defense of the Vikings to do things they haven't seen

1572
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,040
Speaker 1: him do yet, like pass protect. He'll probably have to

1573
01:16:42,040 --> 01:16:44,400
Speaker 1: do some things we haven't seen him be asked to

1574
01:16:44,439 --> 01:16:47,600
Speaker 1: do yet. But he'll be fun to see and I

1575
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:49,960
Speaker 1: know he's he's ready for it. He wants a chance

1576
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,639
Speaker 1: to play. It's gonna be fun to watch. That's gonna

1577
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:54,679
Speaker 1: be one of the most intriguing things about this game. Yeah,

1578
01:16:54,680 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: the two spectacular plays in each of the first two

1579
01:16:57,080 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: games and then did not play in Detroit last year.

1580
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,720
Speaker 1: You want to talk about this? Steve. Pro Football Talk

1581
01:17:02,840 --> 01:17:05,960
Speaker 1: is out with the review three preseason games in a

1582
01:17:06,080 --> 01:17:12,320
Speaker 1: pass interference forty nine preseason games played so far, including

1583
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: all the Well, tell us what the numbers are. Well,

1584
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:18,360
Speaker 1: here's the things interference review. This recall thing. They recall

1585
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:22,080
Speaker 1: the challenge rule that was instituted this year for coaches

1586
01:17:22,120 --> 01:17:24,599
Speaker 1: to be able to challenge pass interference a judgment call

1587
01:17:24,680 --> 01:17:27,080
Speaker 1: and also a non call on the field for the

1588
01:17:27,120 --> 01:17:30,240
Speaker 1: first time ever. Of the forty eight or forty nine

1589
01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:33,240
Speaker 1: games that have taken place, there have been forty eight

1590
01:17:33,360 --> 01:17:38,360
Speaker 1: challenges of replays. Seventy five percent of them had to

1591
01:17:38,680 --> 01:17:42,880
Speaker 1: regard to defensive pass interference and both calls on the

1592
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:46,080
Speaker 1: field and non calls, and only a quarter of them

1593
01:17:46,280 --> 01:17:49,240
Speaker 1: happened in the case of offensive pass interference both calls

1594
01:17:49,320 --> 01:17:53,040
Speaker 1: and non calls. And for offensive pass interference, five of

1595
01:17:53,080 --> 01:17:57,439
Speaker 1: the replay reviews, which was twelve of which was five

1596
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:00,840
Speaker 1: of twelve calls, five of them was called on the

1597
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 1: was called on the field and challenged by the replay

1598
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:08,559
Speaker 1: booth one by four of them by coaches challenges, and

1599
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: one was the replay booth itself, and the other seven

1600
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:16,559
Speaker 1: in entailed an effort to get the replay review process

1601
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:18,840
Speaker 1: to drop a flag it was a non call. Seven

1602
01:18:18,880 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 1: times they flagged it because there was no call and

1603
01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 1: they wanted an offensive pass interference call. That's what happened.

1604
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:30,760
Speaker 1: So there was about fifty fifty on the offensive pass interferences.

1605
01:18:31,120 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: There was about half that were called called and half

1606
01:18:34,400 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 1: of them that were non calls. So that was kind

1607
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:40,960
Speaker 1: of interesting to me. And so this challenge thing. None

1608
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: of the five instances of offensive pass interference were called

1609
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:46,679
Speaker 1: on the field were overturned. They if it was offensive

1610
01:18:46,680 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: pass interference on the field, they did not overturn it

1611
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,759
Speaker 1: in replay. And one instance of a non call becoming

1612
01:18:52,800 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 1: offensive pass interference was overturned. That's it. Just one one

1613
01:18:59,800 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 1: of all of that was an offensive player who wasn't

1614
01:19:03,040 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 1: called or called that got overturned. That was it. So

1615
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:11,160
Speaker 1: it's worthless. Well yeah, I mean, and let's talk about

1616
01:19:11,280 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: three weeks of preseason football so far, an average of

1617
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:18,120
Speaker 1: slightly less than one pass interference call, non call, replay

1618
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 1: review per game. So what does it mean moving forward? Again,

1619
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 1: this is incomplete evidence, but I think it's safe to

1620
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: say a couple of things. One, they are looking for

1621
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,640
Speaker 1: a higher standard. They have said it right. They talk

1622
01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:32,000
Speaker 1: about the words clear and obvious said to us a

1623
01:19:32,080 --> 01:19:34,720
Speaker 1: training camp when the officiating crew was there. That's not

1624
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 1: a standard that was applied. It's not in the rule book,

1625
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:40,240
Speaker 1: not a standard that was applied to pass interference calls

1626
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: before a replay. But now with replay, they're looking for

1627
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:46,639
Speaker 1: a clear and obvious pass interference. It's a higher standard.

1628
01:19:46,640 --> 01:19:49,240
Speaker 1: It's a higher bar. So if you're and I know,

1629
01:19:49,320 --> 01:19:52,599
Speaker 1: I see what's going on. Coaches are challenging now because

1630
01:19:52,840 --> 01:19:54,760
Speaker 1: they want to experiment with this clf are they get

1631
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:56,800
Speaker 1: it's pretty clear that it's going to have to be

1632
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:01,080
Speaker 1: pretty blatant for a replay chan challenge to be successful

1633
01:20:01,160 --> 01:20:04,800
Speaker 1: on pass interference offense defense or a call or a

1634
01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,799
Speaker 1: non call. Right, the bar is higher. Here's the telling

1635
01:20:07,840 --> 01:20:10,880
Speaker 1: sentence of this whole thing. For defensive pass interference, there

1636
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 1: were ten challenges that happened when a flag was thrown.

1637
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: All of them came from the coaches. Not a single

1638
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:20,040
Speaker 1: one of them was overturned, not a single one of them.

1639
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 1: There were on the other twenty six challenges when no

1640
01:20:24,880 --> 01:20:29,280
Speaker 1: flag was thrown. Twenty five were initiated by the coaches,

1641
01:20:29,280 --> 01:20:32,280
Speaker 1: only one by the replay official. Of those, twenty one

1642
01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: rulings on the field were unchanged five situations the replay

1643
01:20:37,200 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: process and resulted in a flag being thrown for defensive

1644
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:44,840
Speaker 1: pass interference. So defenders are still up against it. Not

1645
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,640
Speaker 1: only if they don't throw the flag, they're still not

1646
01:20:47,720 --> 01:20:50,519
Speaker 1: going to change it. And if they do, it's always

1647
01:20:50,560 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 1: on the defense. What are we talking about talking about?

1648
01:20:56,040 --> 01:20:59,280
Speaker 1: They put replay in and it's pretty clear, I think

1649
01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,160
Speaker 1: based three weeks of preseason, it's pretty clear that they

1650
01:21:02,200 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 1: don't want to use it very often. They want the

1651
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:08,880
Speaker 1: next Nickel Robie Coleman play before they use it. Egregious

1652
01:21:09,080 --> 01:21:11,160
Speaker 1: miss before they which has happened how many times in

1653
01:21:11,240 --> 01:21:14,879
Speaker 1: year in my life once in my lifetime. I agree.

1654
01:21:14,960 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: I this is the I hate to sound like this

1655
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,559
Speaker 1: is this is a crock. They don't need this. It's

1656
01:21:23,600 --> 01:21:28,599
Speaker 1: a dumb They need jerked, a one time officiating gaff.

1657
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:31,360
Speaker 1: And now they've got all They opened up this whole

1658
01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: can of worms. We got all these convoluted statistics that

1659
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:36,240
Speaker 1: I just went through. They're like, yeah, well this one

1660
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:39,320
Speaker 1: was thrown by the replay booth and you know, just

1661
01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 1: shut up and sit down. And I like that. I

1662
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 1: like Sean Payton. I think he's a great coach, Drew

1663
01:21:44,320 --> 01:21:48,120
Speaker 1: Brees a great player, and they they absolutely were the wrong.

1664
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:52,680
Speaker 1: Got got jobbed by those officials in the championship game,

1665
01:21:52,720 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: and it was an egregious mistake at the most critical

1666
01:21:55,320 --> 01:22:01,719
Speaker 1: moment of a season. Get in line, seriously, right, get

1667
01:22:01,760 --> 01:22:03,599
Speaker 1: in line. You think you're the only guys that had

1668
01:22:03,600 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 1: a game lost by a bad call. Yeah, it was

1669
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:09,080
Speaker 1: a championship game. I get it. I don't care. Get

1670
01:22:09,120 --> 01:22:11,400
Speaker 1: in line. There have been playoff game after playoff game

1671
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,759
Speaker 1: after playoff game where they messed up and a team

1672
01:22:14,800 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: had a worse chance, or no chance, or a chance

1673
01:22:18,240 --> 01:22:21,840
Speaker 1: taken away to win a game of great magnitude. And

1674
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:24,639
Speaker 1: it was because of an officials call. You know, wow,

1675
01:22:25,040 --> 01:22:28,800
Speaker 1: welcome to planet Earth. Yeah, didn't need that change, but

1676
01:22:28,840 --> 01:22:31,559
Speaker 1: there it is, and it's window dressing. They're not gonna

1677
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:34,840
Speaker 1: reverse themselves based on replay. They haven't done much of it.

1678
01:22:34,880 --> 01:22:39,200
Speaker 1: And again they set a higher standard for replay reviews

1679
01:22:39,240 --> 01:22:42,040
Speaker 1: of past interference offense and defense. They didn't say they

1680
01:22:42,080 --> 01:22:44,120
Speaker 1: were gonna do that, but that's the way it's playing out.

1681
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:46,920
Speaker 1: A higher standard. The bar is higher for replay review

1682
01:22:47,040 --> 01:22:50,200
Speaker 1: on past interference. Yeah, they aren't changing it unless they

1683
01:22:50,200 --> 01:22:52,040
Speaker 1: look bad not changing it right, And they don't look

1684
01:22:52,040 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: bad when they say it's gonna stand way. Nobody cares.

1685
01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 1: Not the way to make rules. Right back to the

1686
01:22:56,400 --> 01:22:58,599
Speaker 1: roster when we return, got a couple of phone calls,

1687
01:22:58,600 --> 01:23:00,599
Speaker 1: will take those. We got lines open for you as well.

01:23:49,960 --> 01:23:52,599
Speaker 1: we're like, we've got so much coming on at us.

1702

Speaker 1: give us a call eight three fifty two three one

1713
01:24:22,120 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty Ken on

1714
01:24:25,080 --> 01:24:28,920
Speaker 1: the line from Lancaster, New York. Hello, Who Ken? How

1715
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: you doing guys. Great good, Steve. I was hearing you

1716
01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: listen to you critique the Bill's offense last year with

1717
01:24:36,960 --> 01:24:39,479
Speaker 1: eight men in the box and the receivers couldn't get

1718
01:24:39,479 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: open and ten fifteen yards whatever, And let's face it,

1719
01:24:45,200 --> 01:24:47,479
Speaker 1: were eight men in the box. If they can't get open,

1720
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: why is the Jones and Foster even on the thought

1721
01:24:52,479 --> 01:24:54,600
Speaker 1: process of being on the roster this year if they

1722
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 1: couldn't get anything done last year, Yeah, they were. I'll

1723
01:24:57,280 --> 01:24:59,759
Speaker 1: tell you why they're they're on there because they're actually

1724
01:25:00,160 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: not bad receivers. I mean they can they can play now.

1725
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,240
Speaker 1: They needed some help to get open. And I don't

1726
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: think Zay Jones is a number one and I don't

1727
01:25:06,560 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: think Robert Foster's is a number one. I think they

1728
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,599
Speaker 1: do a couple of things really well. And right now

1729
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:15,280
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if Robert Foster is in the

1730
01:25:15,320 --> 01:25:18,640
Speaker 1: top three or four wide receiver rotation, and he was

1731
01:25:18,680 --> 01:25:20,680
Speaker 1: the number one guy the last half of last year.

1732
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: So there you have it. Zay Jones in your top

1733
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,360
Speaker 1: three or four. I think he's third. I think he's

1734
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:29,600
Speaker 1: behind John Brown and Cole Beasley. But there goes that

1735
01:25:29,720 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: goes from Zay Jones being leading the team with fifty

1736
01:25:32,479 --> 01:25:36,839
Speaker 1: seven receptions a year ago. Now he's the third guy.

1737
01:25:37,840 --> 01:25:39,240
Speaker 1: I don't know what that's going to look like at

1738
01:25:39,240 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: the end in numbers wise, but that's what you're looking at.

1739
01:25:41,720 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think this is a much better group

1740
01:25:45,200 --> 01:25:47,920
Speaker 1: of wide receivers, a much more versatile wide set of

1741
01:25:47,960 --> 01:25:49,720
Speaker 1: wide receivers than it was a year ago. Ken they've

1742
01:25:49,760 --> 01:25:53,639
Speaker 1: done a pretty complete overhaul of the receiving corps. I'm

1743
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 1: sure you know. John Brown is new this year. Cole

1744
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: Beasley is new this year. Andre Roberts is new this year.

1745
01:25:59,720 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: He's going to be one of the receivers. And even

1746
01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:05,599
Speaker 1: the name you know guys, Duke Williams is new this year,

1747
01:26:06,160 --> 01:26:08,720
Speaker 1: may have a roster spot lined up for him. It's

1748
01:26:08,720 --> 01:26:11,720
Speaker 1: not like Dave ignored the wide receiver corps. Yeah, there

1749
01:26:11,720 --> 01:26:13,200
Speaker 1: are a couple of guys who may make the roster

1750
01:26:13,240 --> 01:26:15,120
Speaker 1: who were here last year. But I'll tell you this too.

1751
01:26:15,240 --> 01:26:18,120
Speaker 1: The reason Robert Foster got on the field last year

1752
01:26:18,240 --> 01:26:22,879
Speaker 1: was they were looking for somebody with a pulse. Quite frankly,

1753
01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:25,439
Speaker 1: he did something for him. Yeah, he gave him a

1754
01:26:25,479 --> 01:26:30,439
Speaker 1: little something and they had to cut him. He was

1755
01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: a free agent eight weeks into the regular season, and

1756
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:36,000
Speaker 1: they finally signed him back on the practice squad and

1757
01:26:36,040 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: then signed him to the to the active roster. I

1758
01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:41,760
Speaker 1: don't know if that's time frames exactly right, but he

1759
01:26:41,840 --> 01:26:46,120
Speaker 1: was cut, yeah, the practice squad. And so they've got

1760
01:26:46,400 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: they got some guys that there are a lot of

1761
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:51,799
Speaker 1: teams that passed on that were playing high level roles

1762
01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,280
Speaker 1: with the Bills a year ago. Not so this year.

1763
01:26:54,320 --> 01:26:56,360
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got some guys that that commanded a

1764
01:26:56,400 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: good dollar on the free agent market. It took that

1765
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,879
Speaker 1: to get him here because other teams were really interested

1766
01:27:00,880 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: in Cole Beasley and John Brown, guys like that. The

1767
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:08,000
Speaker 1: first guy they signed this year signaled some of the

1768
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: what they thought about their receiving core year ago. On

1769
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:14,280
Speaker 1: January seventh, they signed Duke Williams. He was the first

1770
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:16,360
Speaker 1: that was the first new player in this calendar year

1771
01:27:16,360 --> 01:27:18,960
Speaker 1: they signed. So you knew they were looking for a

1772
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: big number one to replace a guy like Kelvin Benjamin,

1773
01:27:21,960 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: and so they hired They signed Duke Williams, who has

1774
01:27:25,360 --> 01:27:28,200
Speaker 1: got a big appetite right about now. He's really hungry

1775
01:27:28,200 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 1: to play and make a name for himself. And that's

1776
01:27:30,240 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 1: more the kind of guy they're looking for got a

1777
01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,680
Speaker 1: call on the line from Bob. Go ahead, Bob, you're

1778
01:27:33,720 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: on the air. Hello. We're thinking about roster shaping, and

1779
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:43,120
Speaker 1: I have a proposed trade for the Bills. Oh yes,

1780
01:27:43,400 --> 01:27:46,479
Speaker 1: So do you know what. Jamie and Clowney once out

1781
01:27:46,479 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: of Houston in the worst way, and it looks like

1782
01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:52,040
Speaker 1: they're going to have to trade them. So I have

1783
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: a proposed trade that the Bills will give up Shady,

1784
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:58,360
Speaker 1: which would work nicely for Houston because they just lost

1785
01:27:58,400 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: their running back for the year. They also need help

1786
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:05,160
Speaker 1: in a line, so I'd give up Tye Naseek. And

1787
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:07,720
Speaker 1: then they also are looking for wide receiver help. And

1788
01:28:07,760 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 1: this one hurts a little bit, but I'd give up

1789
01:28:10,080 --> 01:28:15,960
Speaker 1: jack Zay Jones for one year of Jadeveon Clowney. Yes,

1790
01:28:16,080 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: it'd be one year less than it'd be less than

1791
01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: a five million dollars salary cap hit, and it would

1792
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:26,120
Speaker 1: make our defense scary. And you know what, we could

1793
01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: give up those players without crushing us in the future.

1794
01:28:29,200 --> 01:28:31,679
Speaker 1: So you're right, it'd be a one year rental, but

1795
01:28:31,760 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 1: it would I think push our team to a playoff team.

1796
01:28:35,400 --> 01:28:37,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't do it. That's too much, I think, And

1797
01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:40,559
Speaker 1: by the way Houston's gonna want a first rounder for Clowney.

1798
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:42,519
Speaker 1: I would think I'm not giving that up either, for

1799
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they made for all that you gave him.

1800
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:47,920
Speaker 1: Um yeah, I see it, But for four months of

1801
01:28:47,920 --> 01:28:52,680

1802
01:28:52,720 --> 01:28:54,439
Speaker 1: would do that. I just I gotta be honest with you.

1803
01:28:54,479 --> 01:28:55,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if i'd make that trade. I don't

1804
01:28:55,920 --> 01:28:58,880
Speaker 1: know if i'd make that trade. All right? Thanks? Hey,

1824
01:30:07,479 --> 01:30:10,960

1825
01:30:10,960 --> 01:30:13,200
Speaker 1: to be a backup slot corner but then not impressed

1826
01:30:13,280 --> 01:30:15,439
Speaker 1: during training camp, and the Vikings like the work they

1853
01:31:32,680 --> 01:31:34,600
Speaker 1: got a guy who knows a lot about quarterbacks with

1854
01:31:34,680 --> 01:31:37,799
Speaker 1: us right now. Former NFL quarterback in the late nineties

1855
01:31:37,800 --> 01:31:41,320
Speaker 1: into the early two thousands, played college football at the

1856
01:31:41,400 --> 01:31:44,719
Speaker 1: Naval Academy, set twenty two school records as the Naval

1857
01:31:44,760 --> 01:31:47,360
Speaker 1: Academy quarterback. He spent a long time on the UB

Speaker 1: Football broadcast his color analyst. He is the proprietor and

1859
01:31:50,600 --> 01:31:53,120
Speaker 1: the man who runs the Western York Quarterback Academy. Real

1860
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: happy to have Jim Kubiak on the line with us. Hi, Jim,

1861
01:31:55,400 --> 01:31:58,479
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker in Buffalo. Thanks for joining us. Oh,

1862
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,679
Speaker 1: thanks for having me. Guys used to have the Quarterback

1863
01:32:00,720 --> 01:32:02,880
Speaker 1: Academy right so working with youngsters teaching him how to

1864
01:32:02,920 --> 01:32:06,839
Speaker 1: play the game. Yes, we do, last twelve years, John, excellent, excellent.

1865
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:08,960
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into some of the quarterbacks that

1866
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:10,760
Speaker 1: we've been watching here, and let's start with the guy

1867
01:32:10,800 --> 01:32:13,360
Speaker 1: who is going to get the start tomorrow night for

1868
01:32:13,400 --> 01:32:15,920
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, Tyree Jackson. You watched him as you

1869
01:32:15,960 --> 01:32:18,400
Speaker 1: cover the UB Bulls. You've seen him, I'm sure in

1870
01:32:18,439 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: preseason here so far. What do you think about Tyree Jackson? Well,

1871
01:32:22,400 --> 01:32:25,959
Speaker 1: first off, you know, Tyree is a big physical specimen.

1872
01:32:26,040 --> 01:32:27,960
Speaker 1: We all know he ran up four or five at

1873
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:30,439
Speaker 1: the combine and we've we've all seen him throw the

1874
01:32:30,439 --> 01:32:33,439
Speaker 1: ball seventy five yards down the field. Big arm, big

1875
01:32:33,479 --> 01:32:39,240
Speaker 1: physical guy. An unbelievable opportunity for him is the Buffalo

1876
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:42,719
Speaker 1: Bills only bring in three quarterbacks to camp, So really

1877
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:48,000
Speaker 1: Tyree's just proving, I think, himself to be a passer

1878
01:32:48,040 --> 01:32:50,200
Speaker 1: from the pocket. And I think one of the things

1879
01:32:50,240 --> 01:32:53,880
Speaker 1: that this opportunity, this fourth preseason game where he gets

1880
01:32:53,880 --> 01:32:56,240
Speaker 1: to start, is a real chance for him to go

1881
01:32:56,280 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: out there from the start to finish and prove to

1882
01:32:59,320 --> 01:33:02,440
Speaker 1: the Buffalo bill that he can do the things necessary

1883
01:33:02,479 --> 01:33:05,679
Speaker 1: from the pocket. And I think, you know, college football

1884
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:09,160
Speaker 1: is so different than pro football from a from a

1885
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 1: strategical standpoint, from what they do with the quarterbacks. So

1886
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:16,920
Speaker 1: much is ourpo that run pass option stuff and very

1887
01:33:16,960 --> 01:33:20,800
Speaker 1: little with flipping protections or changing protections are being accountable

1888
01:33:21,040 --> 01:33:24,040
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage for for guys that are rushing.

1889
01:33:24,120 --> 01:33:27,600
Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest jump for Tyree and

1890
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 1: finding a way to be efficient from the pocket. And

1891
01:33:31,400 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 1: you know, some of the things guys that he was

1892
01:33:34,280 --> 01:33:38,720
Speaker 1: able to accomplish in the MAC at youb were sensational, fantastic,

1893
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:41,719
Speaker 1: and we've seen the videos of those clips, but those

1894
01:33:41,760 --> 01:33:44,759
Speaker 1: things don't exist in the National Football League. Those plays

1895
01:33:45,160 --> 01:33:47,960
Speaker 1: don't get made in the National Football League. So you know,

1896
01:33:48,200 --> 01:33:51,160
Speaker 1: it's one of those things for Tyree where it catches

1897
01:33:51,240 --> 01:33:53,479
Speaker 1: up to you. When it catches up to you and um,

1898
01:33:53,600 --> 01:33:55,599
Speaker 1: you know, this is a this is an opportunity. Now

1899
01:33:55,640 --> 01:33:58,280
Speaker 1: the doors wide open for him to prove himself as

1900
01:33:58,280 --> 01:34:01,000
Speaker 1: a passer from the pocket. He certainly has the leadership

1901
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,000
Speaker 1: in the size and I think I think the coaching

1902
01:34:04,040 --> 01:34:06,599
Speaker 1: staff is excited to watch him play this game. One

1903
01:34:06,640 --> 01:34:08,519
Speaker 1: of the other things that he has to adjust to, Jim,

1904
01:34:08,640 --> 01:34:10,439
Speaker 1: is the fact that for the first time, maybe in

1905
01:34:10,479 --> 01:34:13,879
Speaker 1: his entire career, he's got to be under center taking snaps.

1906
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 1: What kind of adjustment is that for a quarterback who's

1907
01:34:17,560 --> 01:34:20,360
Speaker 1: never done it well, for a guy that's six foot

1908
01:34:20,439 --> 01:34:22,880
Speaker 1: seven m. It's a little more than first for you

1909
01:34:22,920 --> 01:34:26,759
Speaker 1: and me, Steve, But you know, certainly the timing is different,

1910
01:34:27,120 --> 01:34:31,280
Speaker 1: and it is different, believe it or not. Being under

1911
01:34:31,280 --> 01:34:33,519
Speaker 1: center is more of a of an advantage for a

1912
01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:36,519
Speaker 1: quarterback because he gets to keep his eyes on the

1913
01:34:36,560 --> 01:34:39,040
Speaker 1: defense for the entirety of the drop. But if you

1914
01:34:39,120 --> 01:34:42,519
Speaker 1: haven't dropped back many times and you know you've played

1915
01:34:42,560 --> 01:34:46,200
Speaker 1: your whole life in the shotgun running got sweep and

1916
01:34:46,280 --> 01:34:50,920
Speaker 1: run his own read. It's a significant change. Um. You know,

1917
01:34:51,160 --> 01:34:54,679
Speaker 1: the way that the three step drop is under center

1918
01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:59,439
Speaker 1: needs to be very precise. So if you're reading the

1919
01:34:59,560 --> 01:35:02,840
Speaker 1: left side as a right handed player, it is a

1920
01:35:02,840 --> 01:35:05,080
Speaker 1: directional drop and your feet have to you have to

1921
01:35:05,080 --> 01:35:07,160
Speaker 1: have a great jetaway step and the second step has

1922
01:35:07,200 --> 01:35:09,439
Speaker 1: to be small so the last step can land under

1923
01:35:09,479 --> 01:35:11,760
Speaker 1: the shoulder. I mean, there's there's a science to it.

1924
01:35:11,960 --> 01:35:14,519
Speaker 1: And if you haven't practiced that a whole bunch of times,

1925
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:19,639
Speaker 1: there's a there's a growth period. And so on one hand,

1926
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:21,920
Speaker 1: it's an advantage because you get to see the defense

1927
01:35:21,960 --> 01:35:23,599
Speaker 1: the entire of the drop. That the other hand is

1928
01:35:23,800 --> 01:35:25,920
Speaker 1: you haven't done it a lot, you may not be

1929
01:35:25,960 --> 01:35:28,519
Speaker 1: as good at it as you need to be to,

1930
01:35:28,960 --> 01:35:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, to play in the National Football League. And

1931
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:34,400
Speaker 1: I think that's the area that Tyree has been pushing

1932
01:35:34,439 --> 01:35:37,960
Speaker 1: on in practice and in trying to get better at

1933
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:41,799
Speaker 1: because those rhythmic drops are so important in the NFL.

1934
01:35:42,200 --> 01:35:44,920
Speaker 1: Jem I find myself and I'll probably ask myself this

1935
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:47,839
Speaker 1: question tomorrow as well, what do you think the ceiling

1936
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:50,640
Speaker 1: is for Tyree Jackson? How good. Could he eventually be

1937
01:35:50,720 --> 01:35:53,720
Speaker 1: in the NFL if you know somebody invests a year

1938
01:35:53,840 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 1: or maybe longer into development. Well, I mean I think

1939
01:35:57,479 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 1: first off, guys in the National Football League, general managers

1940
01:36:00,960 --> 01:36:04,880
Speaker 1: and scouting guys, size is a big deal to h

1941
01:36:05,160 --> 01:36:07,320
Speaker 1: in the National Football League that they want to have

1942
01:36:07,560 --> 01:36:10,280
Speaker 1: that frame. You know, they want to have that Brady

1943
01:36:10,320 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 1: you know, type of a body, type, physical guy control

1944
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 1: the ball a long way. So from an arm straining standpoint,

1945
01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 1: I mean he's incredible. I mean I've I've stood on

1946
01:36:20,360 --> 01:36:21,960
Speaker 1: the field and watch him fill the ball seventy five

1947
01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:24,320
Speaker 1: yards plenty of arm I don't think he'd ever need

1948
01:36:24,400 --> 01:36:26,200
Speaker 1: to be able to throw it that fire in a game,

1949
01:36:26,280 --> 01:36:28,280
Speaker 1: but it's nice to know that he could do that.

1950
01:36:29,080 --> 01:36:31,519
Speaker 1: You know, from an efficiency standpoint, I think when you

1951
01:36:31,560 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 1: look at the statistics, I know he's been in there

1952
01:36:33,760 --> 01:36:35,679
Speaker 1: at the end of games, you know, eight to twenty

1953
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:39,640
Speaker 1: four thirty three percent, you know, as one bad interception

1954
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:42,240
Speaker 1: where he tried to do too much, you know you

1955
01:36:42,360 --> 01:36:45,760
Speaker 1: have to He's a project, you know, it's a project

1956
01:36:45,800 --> 01:36:48,560
Speaker 1: of development. And is there a team out there? Is

1957
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,040
Speaker 1: the Buffalo builds the team to do it? I'm not sure.

1958
01:36:51,520 --> 01:36:54,080
Speaker 1: Are they going to carry two guys on the roster

1959
01:36:54,160 --> 01:36:57,080
Speaker 1: and then maybe a practice squad quarterback. Who's to say,

1960
01:36:57,160 --> 01:37:00,719
Speaker 1: but from a standpoint of size and physical ability, it's

1961
01:37:00,760 --> 01:37:04,680
Speaker 1: all there, you know, And I think you know you

1962
01:37:04,760 --> 01:37:09,479
Speaker 1: hear some of these meetings that teams have with players,

1963
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:12,760
Speaker 1: and you know, some of the questions that take the

1964
01:37:12,760 --> 01:37:15,439
Speaker 1: Newham Patriots, for example, might ask would be do you

1965
01:37:15,479 --> 01:37:19,640
Speaker 1: love football? And I think in order to grow you

1966
01:37:19,760 --> 01:37:21,920
Speaker 1: need to love football. You need to be willing to

1967
01:37:21,960 --> 01:37:24,360
Speaker 1: look at yourself and say, hey, I'm not getting the

1968
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:27,720
Speaker 1: results I need? What changes can I make to get

1969
01:37:27,760 --> 01:37:31,800
Speaker 1: better results? Not everyone does that, and I think that's

1970
01:37:31,840 --> 01:37:34,559
Speaker 1: a difference maker for for football teams and for guys

1971
01:37:34,560 --> 01:37:37,160
Speaker 1: that develop. You know, are you willing to look yourself

1972
01:37:37,200 --> 01:37:39,160
Speaker 1: honestly and say I need to make an adjustment here?

1973
01:37:39,240 --> 01:37:42,360
Speaker 1: What can I do to be better? And only only

1974
01:37:42,760 --> 01:37:46,320
Speaker 1: the coaches who see these players on a regular basis

1975
01:37:46,720 --> 01:37:50,519
Speaker 1: can answer that question. Is someone really doing that? You know?

1976
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:52,839
Speaker 1: I had opportunity to watch Peyton Manning do that. And

1977
01:37:52,840 --> 01:37:55,920
Speaker 1: we've seen great players throughout the National Football League, you know,

1978
01:37:55,960 --> 01:38:00,400
Speaker 1: guys like Brady and guys that were counted out early

1979
01:38:00,439 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: on and developed their skills. I think they did that,

1980
01:38:03,800 --> 01:38:05,720
Speaker 1: you know, with a passion and love for the game

1981
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:09,639
Speaker 1: and a willingness to adjust. And so that's the question,

1982
01:38:09,840 --> 01:38:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, that is the question that is unanswered right now.

1983
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 1: And certainly the physical side is there. Can he make

1984
01:38:17,160 --> 01:38:19,759
Speaker 1: the adjustments of planner center, Can he be more efficient

1985
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:24,400
Speaker 1: from the pocket? Can he make himself more disciplined with

1986
01:38:24,439 --> 01:38:27,519
Speaker 1: his reads? And you know that takes time and effort.

1987
01:38:27,560 --> 01:38:31,519
Speaker 1: So we're going to see on Friday just how on

1988
01:38:31,560 --> 01:38:35,280
Speaker 1: that fourth game, just how how effected his work ethic

1989
01:38:35,320 --> 01:38:37,519
Speaker 1: has been. One of the things about the preseason. It's

1990
01:38:37,560 --> 01:38:39,559
Speaker 1: hard for guys like you and me, is as you know,

1991
01:38:39,560 --> 01:38:42,280
Speaker 1: as many guys as we've seen play the position, it's

1992
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:44,559
Speaker 1: hard to see how well they've improved from their first

1993
01:38:44,600 --> 01:38:46,960
Speaker 1: to second year. But as Josh Allen showed you anything

1994
01:38:47,000 --> 01:38:49,640
Speaker 1: in his play over the first first three games of

1995
01:38:49,680 --> 01:38:52,680
Speaker 1: the preseason to say, yeah, this is definitely better or

1996
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:56,840
Speaker 1: is there anything if that you've seen that tells you that.

1997
01:38:57,479 --> 01:39:00,400
Speaker 1: Steve a great question, and yes, the short the short

1998
01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:03,360
Speaker 1: answer is yes. And I think the addition of Ken Dorsey,

1999
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:07,000
Speaker 1: you know, you know, packaged with Brian Babeld and in

2000
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:12,280
Speaker 1: the you know, showing Josh Allen, the studies of bottom

2001
01:39:12,360 --> 01:39:16,080
Speaker 1: up reads and being in you know, second in four

2002
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:19,080
Speaker 1: checked by checking the ball down on first down is

2003
01:39:19,120 --> 01:39:21,000
Speaker 1: opposed to be in a second and pen and how

2004
01:39:21,080 --> 01:39:23,200
Speaker 1: that effects drives. I mean, I think those two guys

2005
01:39:23,200 --> 01:39:26,200
Speaker 1: have gone at it very hard in the offseason, proving

2006
01:39:26,200 --> 01:39:28,639
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen, hey, these are the beliefs you had

2007
01:39:28,680 --> 01:39:31,040
Speaker 1: when you were at Wyoming and you got away with it.

2008
01:39:31,040 --> 01:39:34,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't work here and so we need to adjust.

2009
01:39:34,439 --> 01:39:36,800
Speaker 1: And I think I have seen the adjustment, certainly from

2010
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:39,559
Speaker 1: a footwork standpoint. He was playing around in the in

2011
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:42,960
Speaker 1: the in the shotgun with right footback, left footback. He

2012
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:46,599
Speaker 1: feels comfortable with his left footback, so you know that's

2013
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:50,080
Speaker 1: that's something that I think has helped him. Um. Certainly,

2014
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:54,599
Speaker 1: the bottom up reads and the addition of Beasley will

2015
01:39:54,680 --> 01:39:59,479
Speaker 1: make an enormous difference and how this offense operates. I

2016
01:39:59,640 --> 01:40:03,880
Speaker 1: see him taking the underneath stuff more efficiently. You know,

2017
01:40:03,880 --> 01:40:07,920
Speaker 1: he's operating at sixty four. He doesn't have any touchdowns interceptions,

2018
01:40:07,920 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 1: but hasn't played that much either. I have seen a

2019
01:40:10,960 --> 01:40:14,120
Speaker 1: couple of really nice corner routes versus man to man

2020
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:16,559
Speaker 1: coverage where you know he put the ball up over

2021
01:40:16,560 --> 01:40:19,439
Speaker 1: the rim, dropped down the guy's helmet, a really great throw.

2022
01:40:19,479 --> 01:40:22,519
Speaker 1: I think last year he tries to drive that ball

2023
01:40:22,560 --> 01:40:25,360
Speaker 1: in and maybe it gets picked because the defender undercuts him. So,

2024
01:40:25,720 --> 01:40:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, I think I definitely have seen growth. You

2025
01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: know in this last this last game, the one play

2026
01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:33,559
Speaker 1: where he throws the ball back in the middle field

2027
01:40:33,960 --> 01:40:37,040
Speaker 1: and you know, it gets intercepted and thankfully you know

2028
01:40:37,080 --> 01:40:39,559
Speaker 1: the play was there was a penalty on the play

2029
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:41,880
Speaker 1: and it didn't count. But you know, those kind of

2030
01:40:41,920 --> 01:40:45,320
Speaker 1: plays are the kind of plays that to me, will

2031
01:40:45,400 --> 01:40:49,200
Speaker 1: make the most difference this season. Can he avoid those plays?

2032
01:40:49,200 --> 01:40:51,840
Speaker 1: Can he? Can he discipline himself to just throw it

2033
01:40:51,840 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 1: away and give up on the play and let's go

2034
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:58,040
Speaker 1: to second down in six or whatever it was. But

2035
01:40:58,439 --> 01:41:01,400
Speaker 1: short answer is, yes, he looks more comfortable. His drops

2036
01:41:01,400 --> 01:41:03,360
Speaker 1: look better, he looks sharp. I think he's got a

2037
01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,320
Speaker 1: greater command of what's happening at the line of scrimmage

2038
01:41:06,479 --> 01:41:09,600
Speaker 1: from his protection standpoint. I know Gabled and Dorsey have

2039
01:41:09,680 --> 01:41:11,920
Speaker 1: done a really great job of making him ready on

2040
01:41:11,960 --> 01:41:14,400
Speaker 1: those things. And let's not forget the offensive line is

2041
01:41:14,400 --> 01:41:17,200
Speaker 1: better too. I mean, there's better people around him. So

2042
01:41:18,000 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 1: certainly I think the Bills have done a nice job

2043
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,639
Speaker 1: of trying to get better talent around him, protect him better,

2044
01:41:24,960 --> 01:41:28,240
Speaker 1: and he has done a good job too of making

2045
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:31,680
Speaker 1: himself a better player and an NFL player, not just

2046
01:41:31,720 --> 01:41:34,760
Speaker 1: a guy that can run around and jump over middle linebackers,

2047
01:41:34,840 --> 01:41:37,640
Speaker 1: but you know, a guy that can play, you know,

2048
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 1: into the postseason, can take this team with an efficiency mindset,

2049
01:41:42,600 --> 01:41:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, with the mindset of down and distance and

2050
01:41:45,800 --> 01:41:50,280
Speaker 1: situations and personnel, and really take this team to the

2051
01:41:50,320 --> 01:41:52,880
Speaker 1: next level because the Buffalo Bills have a great defense,

2052
01:41:52,920 --> 01:41:54,600
Speaker 1: and you know, how many points is he going to

2053
01:41:54,680 --> 01:41:57,960
Speaker 1: really need to score? You know, not that many the

2054
01:41:57,960 --> 01:42:01,280
Speaker 1: way the Buffalo defense plays. With Jim Coop, former NFL quarterback,

2055
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm in behind the Western our quarterback academy. Hey, you

2056
01:42:03,960 --> 01:42:07,240
Speaker 1: mentioned a minute ago about Josh red Jim bottom up reads.

2057
01:42:07,280 --> 01:42:09,519
Speaker 1: What does that mean and why is that important for

2058
01:42:09,760 --> 01:42:12,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Well, you know, it's a philosophy. You know,

2059
01:42:13,200 --> 01:42:16,840
Speaker 1: young quarterbacks in high school in college, including myself, you know,

2060
01:42:17,200 --> 01:42:20,880
Speaker 1: most of our progressions start with deep to short. So

2061
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:23,200
Speaker 1: let's throw the post first, and if the post is cover,

2062
01:42:23,200 --> 01:42:25,519
Speaker 1: we're gonna drop down to the dig. And if that's cover,

2063
01:42:25,560 --> 01:42:28,120
Speaker 1: we're gonna come underneath to the drag, So more of

2064
01:42:28,120 --> 01:42:31,280
Speaker 1: a deep to short philosophy. And you know, I don't

2065
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 1: know a quarterback that doesn't want to throw the long

2066
01:42:33,120 --> 01:42:35,040
Speaker 1: wall for a touchdown. And we all love that and

2067
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:37,760
Speaker 1: cherish that, but you know, you get to the National

2068
01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,559
Speaker 1: Football League and you know my experience is there. Um,

2069
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:44,000
Speaker 1: it was a big change. You know, most of our

2070
01:42:44,080 --> 01:42:46,680
Speaker 1: reads were developed from short to deep. So if you

2071
01:42:46,720 --> 01:42:48,920
Speaker 1: had an arrow route and in a flat and then

2072
01:42:48,920 --> 01:42:51,320
Speaker 1: a curl route out on the on the right side,

2073
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:54,519
Speaker 1: and maybe a drag coming across your face, you know,

2074
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,400
Speaker 1: you go, you know, one two three, and but it

2075
01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:02,280
Speaker 1: was short to deep philosophically, and that is an adjustment,

2076
01:43:02,360 --> 01:43:05,519
Speaker 1: you know, that is something you know, you've you've developed yourself.

2077
01:43:05,600 --> 01:43:08,439
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's a first round pick doing what he does,

2078
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:12,160
Speaker 1: and now he's being asked, hey, you know, let's not

2079
01:43:12,439 --> 01:43:14,639
Speaker 1: try to always push the ball down the field. Let's

2080
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:18,640
Speaker 1: take what's available to us, what's open according to the

2081
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:21,479
Speaker 1: defense that's being played, and be patient with that and

2082
01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:27,160
Speaker 1: and be you know, really uh you know, one two

2083
01:43:27,200 --> 01:43:29,719
Speaker 1: three with it rather than pushing the ball down the field.

2084
01:43:29,760 --> 01:43:35,120
Speaker 1: So the bottom up read is finding beasily on an

2085
01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,760
Speaker 1: option route first and then having the dig come behind it.

2086
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:42,200
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, I think that that is a

2087
01:43:42,240 --> 01:43:44,439
Speaker 1: wonderful way to build efficiency. For one of the reason

2088
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 1: things I want to ask you, Jim, that last year,

2089
01:43:48,160 --> 01:43:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, the wide receivers were struggling a little bit,

2090
01:43:51,080 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: that the offensive line was struggling in the run and

2091
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 1: the past, they were getting quarterbacks hit and stuff. When

2092
01:43:56,000 --> 01:43:58,800
Speaker 1: they had added all of these other pieces to the

2093
01:43:58,840 --> 01:44:02,479
Speaker 1: pie of you know, better wide receivers, a different type

2094
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,320
Speaker 1: of wide receiver. You know, they've got a Cole Beasley

2095
01:44:05,360 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: as a slot guy. You've got guys who can run

2096
01:44:07,479 --> 01:44:10,080
Speaker 1: some intermediate routes and get some separation, and you've got

2097
01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:12,519
Speaker 1: a better offensive line and maybe even a better run game.

2098
01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:16,960
Speaker 1: How does that change the team's ability to plan a

2099
01:44:17,080 --> 01:44:19,439
Speaker 1: game plan and install a game plan and implement it

2100
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,720
Speaker 1: that gives everybody a chance to be more successful? I mean,

2101
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:25,320
Speaker 1: how does all of that stuff come together to make

2102
01:44:25,360 --> 01:44:30,040
Speaker 1: the offense look different? And you know how big you know,

2103
01:44:30,080 --> 01:44:32,599
Speaker 1: how much more success can you hope to have because

2104
01:44:32,600 --> 01:44:35,200
Speaker 1: of all of that? Well, that that is that is

2105
01:44:35,240 --> 01:44:39,519
Speaker 1: a great question, a million dollar question, and so so

2106
01:44:39,640 --> 01:44:41,880
Speaker 1: much of our you know, kind of a society thing.

2107
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:43,639
Speaker 1: You know, we want to see the one guy lineup

2108
01:44:43,640 --> 01:44:45,240
Speaker 1: outside and go down the field. We'll throw it up

2109
01:44:45,280 --> 01:44:46,360
Speaker 1: to him and he's gonna catch it and all that

2110
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:48,720
Speaker 1: and that's all great stuff, but that's not how you

2111
01:44:48,760 --> 01:44:52,120
Speaker 1: win football games, as you guys know. And by putting

2112
01:44:52,160 --> 01:44:54,720
Speaker 1: a guy like Beasley what you know, in some intermediate

2113
01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:56,240
Speaker 1: routes and work in the middle of the field and

2114
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:59,360
Speaker 1: working option routes on linebackers. You know, when when a

2115
01:44:59,439 --> 01:45:03,920
Speaker 1: defense doesn't change personnel, um, you know, you create an

2116
01:45:04,080 --> 01:45:08,519
Speaker 1: enormous advantage for yourself. And going back even to the

2117
01:45:08,560 --> 01:45:10,840
Speaker 1: Super Bowl where you see a you know, a little

2118
01:45:10,840 --> 01:45:14,360
Speaker 1: guy like Gottelman against the Rams and you know, just

2119
01:45:14,400 --> 01:45:16,600
Speaker 1: spread everybody out and then you just let him go

2120
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,800
Speaker 1: to work on the inside. Um, you know, Beasley is

2121
01:45:20,040 --> 01:45:22,960
Speaker 1: kind of that guy. And and so what that's going

2122
01:45:23,040 --> 01:45:24,760
Speaker 1: to do is it's going to force defense is to

2123
01:45:24,840 --> 01:45:27,439
Speaker 1: have to deal with that. Do they change personnel they

2124
01:45:27,439 --> 01:45:30,040
Speaker 1: go nickel or diamond? Then if they do, you know,

2125
01:45:30,439 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: how does that do we do We drop back and

2126
01:45:32,520 --> 01:45:36,240
Speaker 1: run the football or so I think it gives Buffalo

2127
01:45:36,880 --> 01:45:42,679
Speaker 1: a whole bunch of different options. And I think most importantly, um,

2128
01:45:42,720 --> 01:45:46,720
Speaker 1: it helps Josh Allen to take advantage of the matchups

2129
01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:50,320
Speaker 1: that he gets inside. So uh, you know, if he's

2130
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:53,560
Speaker 1: got a match up with a tight end on a linebacker,

2131
01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,479
Speaker 1: now it could be Beasley on a linebacker, and Beasley

2132
01:45:56,560 --> 01:45:59,040
Speaker 1: is gonna win that every single time. When when the

2133
01:45:59,160 --> 01:46:02,519
Speaker 1: defense starts to become aware of that and try to

2134
01:46:02,520 --> 01:46:05,840
Speaker 1: take that away with two defenders and maybe Brackett be

2135
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:09,240
Speaker 1: easily or combo him in some way, then we get

2136
01:46:09,280 --> 01:46:12,800
Speaker 1: outside man to man coverage or one on one situations,

2137
01:46:12,840 --> 01:46:15,719
Speaker 1: as you know, Steven, and we have to be able

2138
01:46:15,760 --> 01:46:19,280
Speaker 1: to win those situations. I mean, any any football coach

2139
01:46:20,120 --> 01:46:21,800
Speaker 1: in the national football he's going to say, when we

2140
01:46:21,840 --> 01:46:24,360
Speaker 1: get one on one, we gotta win, we gotta expect

2141
01:46:24,360 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 1: to win. And I think it puts Buffalo in a

2142
01:46:26,920 --> 01:46:30,479
Speaker 1: situation where they can get more of those situations. And uh,

2143
01:46:30,560 --> 01:46:33,400
Speaker 1: and that's exciting because I think Brian Dable it's ready,

2144
01:46:33,680 --> 01:46:35,439
Speaker 1: he's ready to let it loose. I mean I could

2145
01:46:35,439 --> 01:46:37,720
Speaker 1: see a lot of empty um, I could see a

2146
01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:40,200
Speaker 1: lot of four or five wide stuff, and then I

2147
01:46:40,200 --> 01:46:42,840
Speaker 1: could also see Buffalo line up in the eye you know,

2148
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:45,559
Speaker 1: with with with Gore and McCoy and pound them. So

2149
01:46:45,960 --> 01:46:48,479
Speaker 1: I mean that's the kind of stuff that I think

2150
01:46:48,600 --> 01:46:51,160
Speaker 1: is a difference maker, and I think they've made some

2151
01:46:51,240 --> 01:46:54,800
Speaker 1: really good moves to put them in this situation on

2152
01:46:54,840 --> 01:46:57,680
Speaker 1: the line with Jim Kubiak, former Naval Academy quarterback, the

2153
01:46:57,760 --> 01:47:01,920
Speaker 1: man behind the Western New York Quarterback Academy, Josh Allen's

2154
01:47:01,920 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 1: back up Matt Barkley has been really solid than three

2155
01:47:05,080 --> 01:47:09,519
Speaker 1: preseason appearances, Jim seventy six percent complete your percentage, three touchdowns,

2156
01:47:09,600 --> 01:47:11,759
Speaker 1: no interceptions. What have you seen from him? What impression

2157
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 1: do you get from watching Matt Barkley? Boy, did Buffalo

2158
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,440
Speaker 1: find a gem? I mean, I think that guy is tremendous.

2159
01:47:18,680 --> 01:47:21,080
Speaker 1: Everything that I've seen from him from a work ethic

2160
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:25,120
Speaker 1: standpoint to his incredible efficiency. I mean, I think he's

2161
01:47:25,160 --> 01:47:28,280
Speaker 1: he's throwing for seventy six percent. Every time he goes

2162
01:47:28,320 --> 01:47:31,679
Speaker 1: in the game, something good happens, and you know he's

2163
01:47:31,800 --> 01:47:34,840
Speaker 1: he's been very supportive to Josh Allen contell. They have

2164
01:47:35,160 --> 01:47:39,000
Speaker 1: a great relationship. You know, he's your classic, you know,

2165
01:47:39,479 --> 01:47:42,599
Speaker 1: drop back guy, and he's the guy that you can

2166
01:47:42,640 --> 01:47:44,760
Speaker 1: count on for. You know, he's gonna go quick game

2167
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:47,960
Speaker 1: under center, read it perfectly. Hit the underneath guy when

2168
01:47:47,960 --> 01:47:50,400
Speaker 1: he needs to he's going to protect the football every

2169
01:47:50,439 --> 01:47:52,920
Speaker 1: single time, and when something bad happened, he's going to

2170
01:47:52,960 --> 01:47:55,000
Speaker 1: weather it out in punt and you know, live to

2171
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,479
Speaker 1: play another set of downs. You know. I think Buffalo

2172
01:47:58,520 --> 01:48:00,720
Speaker 1: really got lucky find in Berkeley. I mean, I think

2173
01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: he's he's an outstanding backup. I think he could if

2174
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: he's called upon this year to to step and he's

2175
01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:10,040
Speaker 1: going to do a great job. And I just like

2176
01:48:10,160 --> 01:48:12,360
Speaker 1: his efficiency. I mean, I like the way that he

2177
01:48:12,439 --> 01:48:16,759
Speaker 1: handles adversity. You know. I think his footwork is excellent.

2178
01:48:17,080 --> 01:48:20,360
Speaker 1: He's very, very accurate, and he's always prepared. I mean,

2179
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:22,680
Speaker 1: he's everything that you'd want in a backup guy. And

2180
01:48:22,720 --> 01:48:25,200
Speaker 1: I think certainly when called upon, he's going to do

2181
01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:27,880
Speaker 1: a great job, you know, in the starting role if

2182
01:48:27,920 --> 01:48:30,280
Speaker 1: need be. One of the things I want to ask

2183
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,760
Speaker 1: you about was a guy who you may have some

2184
01:48:32,880 --> 01:48:36,320
Speaker 1: interaction with, Jake Dela Gala. He's out with Cincinnati Bengals.

2185
01:48:36,320 --> 01:48:41,200
Speaker 1: He's an undrafted rookie free agent, and he is a

2186
01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:44,320
Speaker 1: Western New York kid who actually from all signs, has

2187
01:48:44,360 --> 01:48:47,160
Speaker 1: really impressed the Cincinnati Bengals coaching staff. What are your

2188
01:48:47,360 --> 01:48:50,000
Speaker 1: what's your experience with Jake? And also what do you

2189
01:48:50,040 --> 01:48:53,560
Speaker 1: think his prospects are down to Cincinnati. Well, Jake Delagala

2190
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:55,760
Speaker 1: is a guy that I worked with here in the

2191
01:48:55,800 --> 01:49:01,360
Speaker 1: offseason and you know, six foot six, two hundred forty

2192
01:49:01,360 --> 01:49:05,160
Speaker 1: pound kid went to Milford Academy and you know, has

2193
01:49:05,240 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: overcome a shoulder injury. You know, everything that Jake has

2194
01:49:09,360 --> 01:49:13,800
Speaker 1: done from his shoulder injury was something that has been

2195
01:49:13,960 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: nothing short of incredible. He went in as the fifth

2196
01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:18,840
Speaker 1: quarterback at Milford Academy, want to be in the starter,

2197
01:49:18,920 --> 01:49:21,640
Speaker 1: and rewrote the record books passing. Then he goes to

2198
01:49:21,720 --> 01:49:24,720
Speaker 1: Central Connecticut State and starts for four years. I think

2199
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,920
Speaker 1: he started forty four games and you know, fifty some touchdowns,

2200
01:49:27,960 --> 01:49:30,160
Speaker 1: they win a championship, and here he is in one

2201
01:49:30,200 --> 01:49:32,880
Speaker 1: double A. He's a biology major three point oh really

2202
01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:36,200
Speaker 1: smart kid. He graduates on time because he has a

2203
01:49:36,320 --> 01:49:39,519
Speaker 1: desire to play in the National Football He believes that

2204
01:49:39,520 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 1: he can play in the National Football League. And we

2205
01:49:42,040 --> 01:49:46,080
Speaker 1: worked for four months getting him ready for his pro days.

2206
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:48,599
Speaker 1: And you know he's gone to Cincinnati and you know,

2207
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:51,599
Speaker 1: it is challenging to be going as the fourth quarterback

2208
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 1: as an undrafted guy. I mean they're always going to

2209
01:49:54,240 --> 01:49:57,639
Speaker 1: give someone who's drafted the benefit of the doubt. They're

2210
01:49:57,640 --> 01:49:59,719
Speaker 1: always going to give them the majority of the reps.

2211
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:02,840
Speaker 1: And and Jake Dolagala has had to go in there

2212
01:50:03,240 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 1: and some practices not get any reps, you know, get

2213
01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:09,800
Speaker 1: two reps or three reps. And it's very challenging to

2214
01:50:10,720 --> 01:50:13,719
Speaker 1: continue to study and to continue to be mentally prepared.

2215
01:50:14,360 --> 01:50:17,720
Speaker 1: And Jake has done an amazing job of waiting and

2216
01:50:17,800 --> 01:50:20,680
Speaker 1: being prepared for his moment. In this last game he

2217
01:50:20,760 --> 01:50:22,800
Speaker 1: stepped in, he was ten to twelve or ninety four

2218
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:26,360
Speaker 1: yards two touchdowns. And now again just like Tyree, he

2219
01:50:26,400 --> 01:50:29,320
Speaker 1: has an opportunity to start this last game for the

2220
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:32,400
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. And I can tell you this, guys, I've

2221
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 1: been on the field with Jake Dolagala and he can

2222
01:50:35,640 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: throw it better than anybody on the Cincinnati Bengals team.

2223
01:50:39,760 --> 01:50:44,080
Speaker 1: So from that standpoint, and now I've stood next to

2224
01:50:44,160 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: Peyton Manning and Carry Collins and Vinnie Testaverdie and I've

2225
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:50,240
Speaker 1: seen those guys up close, and I'm telling you he

2226
01:50:50,240 --> 01:50:53,320
Speaker 1: can throw it like those guys. So it doesn't surprise me.

2227
01:50:53,439 --> 01:50:56,840
Speaker 1: But people have to believe. Jake has to make them

2228
01:50:56,880 --> 01:51:00,720
Speaker 1: believe that he can handle that role. Even though he

2229
01:51:00,760 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: was undrafted. And I think that's his goal and I

2230
01:51:03,080 --> 01:51:05,040
Speaker 1: think he's going to do a great job on Thursday Night.

2231
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:07,920
Speaker 1: His grandfather is a former Bill's great right, al B Miller.

2232
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:10,360
Speaker 1: That doesn't hurt him at all. Right, doesn't hurt him

2233
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:12,760
Speaker 1: at all. And if you're ever shaking hands with Jake Doligali,

2234
01:51:12,760 --> 01:51:14,679
Speaker 1: he's got the biggest hands in the National Football League,

2235
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:18,720
Speaker 1: by the way, shaking hands with a python. Get hey,

2236
01:51:18,800 --> 01:51:22,240
Speaker 1: Jim Western or Quarterback Academy. You go year round, right

2237
01:51:22,320 --> 01:51:23,800
Speaker 1: or do you have a fall season? When you get

2238
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:27,080
Speaker 1: guys together. You know, we we've really grown and uh,

2239
01:51:27,200 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 1: you know, my my partner Johnshabauta and I now we

2240
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:33,400
Speaker 1: field players year round. So we have an in season program,

2241
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:35,640
Speaker 1: we have a preseason program, and then we have like

2242
01:51:35,720 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: sort of like a mini training camp program. So you know,

2243
01:51:38,439 --> 01:51:41,080
Speaker 1: we hit all the mental aspects as well as the

2244
01:51:41,080 --> 01:51:43,840
Speaker 1: physical aspects in the right parts of the year. And

2245
01:51:44,160 --> 01:51:46,800
Speaker 1: you know, our goal, guys, really is to help young

2246
01:51:46,840 --> 01:51:50,920
Speaker 1: players in Western New York earn a great education using

2247
01:51:50,960 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 1: football as their vehicle. And it's been a lot of fun.

2248
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 1: And you know, one of our guys, Matt Myers, is

2249
01:51:56,439 --> 01:51:59,479
Speaker 1: with UB now and you know, he gets his first start.

2250
01:51:59,479 --> 01:52:02,200
Speaker 1: So we're really excited for Matt. But it's a labor

2251
01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:04,320
Speaker 1: love and you know, it's it's been wonderful, you know,

2252
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:06,800
Speaker 1: these last ten years working on these young players here

2253
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,000
Speaker 1: in Western New York. And if you're interested, if you're listening,

2254
01:52:09,240 --> 01:52:11,080
Speaker 1: you can see it more online on the Western New

2255
01:52:11,160 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: York Quarterback Academy at w NYQBA dot com. Jim, thank

2256
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:17,400
Speaker 1: you for this. It's great insight. Thank you very much.

2257
01:52:17,720 --> 01:52:21,880
Speaker 1: Thank you, guys. Jim Koubiak, former NFL quarterback for several years,

2258
01:52:22,200 --> 01:52:25,200
Speaker 1: Naval Academy quarterbacks at twenty two school records. There's been

2259
01:52:25,479 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 1: spent a lot of time around the UB football program.

2260
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 1: He's got insight. Man, he's got a lot and his partners,

2261
01:52:31,680 --> 01:52:34,200
Speaker 1: John Shabetta coach three of my guys. That's in France,

2262
01:52:34,200 --> 01:52:38,599
Speaker 1: Saint Francis. Yeah, and uh yeah, it's there's a lot

2263
01:52:38,600 --> 01:52:40,320
Speaker 1: of us stuff going around. But if you if you've

2264
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:44,599
Speaker 1: got a kid who wants to play at that at

2265
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:47,280
Speaker 1: that position, you're gonna have to get extra work in.

2266
01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 1: I think it's it's become so mental even at the

2267
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:52,719
Speaker 1: lower levels that you know you need to get somebody

2268
01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:55,599
Speaker 1: to help you out, and Jim Kubiak's got some pretty

2269
01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:58,720
Speaker 1: good credentials, as you mentioned. Yeah, so it's good to

2270
01:52:58,720 --> 01:52:59,880
Speaker 1: hear from him, and I want to ask him a

2271
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:02,840
Speaker 1: Jake Delagala as well, because Jake Delagala is a Western

2272
01:53:02,880 --> 01:53:04,640
Speaker 1: New York kid that some people might know about. And

2273
01:53:04,680 --> 01:53:08,200
Speaker 1: also he's in the exact same situation that Tyree Jackson

2274
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:10,240
Speaker 1: is here in Buffalo. These guys are gonna go and

2275
01:53:10,400 --> 01:53:12,800
Speaker 1: you know what, you know, I don't know who the

2276
01:53:12,920 --> 01:53:15,519
Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals played this week, but I don't Tyree Jackson's

2277
01:53:15,560 --> 01:53:17,679
Speaker 1: playing the Vikings. They're not playing against those guys, They're

2278
01:53:17,680 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 1: playing against each other. I mean, that's basically what we're

2279
01:53:20,520 --> 01:53:23,800
Speaker 1: talking about. Jake Delagala is in a competition with Tyree Jackson,

2280
01:53:23,800 --> 01:53:25,720
Speaker 1: who's on another team in another city, playing against a

2281
01:53:25,720 --> 01:53:28,559
Speaker 1: different team. So it's that's the way it works at

2282
01:53:28,560 --> 01:53:31,799
Speaker 1: this level. And that's why this weekend in that regard

2283
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:36,680
Speaker 1: is pretty intriguing for these guys who still feel like,

2284
01:53:36,840 --> 01:53:38,840
Speaker 1: and for good reason, they can play at this level

2285
01:53:38,880 --> 01:53:40,360
Speaker 1: and they're gonna get a chance to prove it in

2286
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,400
Speaker 1: a big way. Bengals are at home to play the

2287
01:53:42,439 --> 01:53:47,519
Speaker 1: Colts tomorrow night at seven o'clock, Jake Delagala, and obviously

2288
01:53:47,640 --> 01:53:51,759
Speaker 1: Jim Kubiak work with him. The Bengals have at quarterback.

2289
01:53:51,800 --> 01:53:54,840
Speaker 1: I'm the roster right now, Andy Dalton, of course, Jeff

2290
01:53:54,920 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: Driscoll former forty nine er, fourth round pick this year,

2291
01:53:57,920 --> 01:54:00,640
Speaker 1: Ryan Finley, and Jake Dolagala. And you just heard it,

2292
01:54:00,920 --> 01:54:03,479
Speaker 1: Jim Kubiak said, Dolagal's got the best arm of any

2293
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 1: of them. Oh, he's got a better arm than Yeah,

2294
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:08,240
Speaker 1: he's got a better arm than Andy Dalton. Now, Andy

2295
01:54:08,280 --> 01:54:11,880
Speaker 1: Dalton's an underrated thrower of the football. He's an accurate thrower.

2296
01:54:11,960 --> 01:54:14,240
Speaker 1: He's got a huge amount of experience. That guy's making,

2297
01:54:14,800 --> 01:54:17,599
Speaker 1: you know, nine figures. I mean, he's got his nine

2298
01:54:17,640 --> 01:54:20,160
Speaker 1: figure contract over the course of the life of it.

2299
01:54:20,560 --> 01:54:23,640
Speaker 1: And he is a great, really good NFL quarterback for

2300
01:54:23,720 --> 01:54:26,520
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons. But you're talking about raw physical abilities.

2301
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:30,439
Speaker 1: Jake Dolagala can stand in there and throw it with anybody. Now,

2302
01:54:30,439 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 1: he lacks the experience and lacks the savvy and has

2303
01:54:32,840 --> 01:54:34,720
Speaker 1: and Andy Dalton, Dalton's got a lot of things that

2304
01:54:34,760 --> 01:54:37,040
Speaker 1: a lot of guys don't have. But when you're talking

2305
01:54:37,040 --> 01:54:39,720
Speaker 1: about a guy who and Tyree Jackson's the same way.

2306
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: How And you ask the question to Jim Kubiak just

2307
01:54:44,080 --> 01:54:45,880
Speaker 1: a few minutes ago, and I wrote down what my

2308
01:54:45,960 --> 01:54:48,120
Speaker 1: answer would have been. And it's the same for Jake Dolagala.

2309
01:54:48,320 --> 01:54:53,000
Speaker 1: How far those two guys go, Jake Dolagala and Tyree Jackson,

2310
01:54:53,400 --> 01:54:56,120
Speaker 1: how far they go and what their upside is, it

2311
01:54:56,280 --> 01:55:00,880
Speaker 1: is completely up to them. It's completely up to them.

2312
01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:03,720
Speaker 1: They are at the highest level getting the best coaching available.

2313
01:55:04,240 --> 01:55:06,160
Speaker 1: What they do with it and how they handle it

2314
01:55:06,160 --> 01:55:08,360
Speaker 1: and how far they go now is completely one hundred

2315
01:55:08,400 --> 01:55:11,760
Speaker 1: percent up to them. And when when it all comes

2316
01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,920
Speaker 1: down to it and they look back on it, they're

2317
01:55:13,920 --> 01:55:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna know they had their opportunity to do it, if

2318
01:55:15,760 --> 01:55:17,080
Speaker 1: they had it, if they had it in front of

2319
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:21,280
Speaker 1: them again, So it's up to them. And tomorrow night

2320
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:27,760
Speaker 1: is a monumental night in the life of their career,

2321
01:55:27,960 --> 01:55:30,520
Speaker 1: both of them. Both of them. They get what guys

2322
01:55:30,960 --> 01:55:35,000
Speaker 1: kill for opportunity, right Doulagala and Cincinnati Tyree Jackson here

2323
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:37,920
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. They're talented players all over the globe. These

2324
01:55:37,920 --> 01:55:40,000
Speaker 1: two get a chance to arnating and they've earned it.

2325
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:42,440
Speaker 1: They've earned it, there's no question about it. This is

2326
01:55:42,440 --> 01:55:47,120
Speaker 1: another step in their in their career, but this is

2327
01:55:47,520 --> 01:55:50,280
Speaker 1: an important one because for both of them, this is

2328
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:54,000
Speaker 1: the first time. This is the first real preseason game.

2329
01:55:54,040 --> 01:55:56,280
Speaker 1: They're gonna get a lot of time in, they're gonna

2330
01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:58,400
Speaker 1: get the they're gonna be the focal point of the offense,

2331
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:01,200
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be have a chance to get into

2332
01:56:01,320 --> 01:56:04,960
Speaker 1: a rhythm, you know, all of that stuff. It's huge

2333
01:56:05,000 --> 01:56:07,680
Speaker 1: for those guys at that position more so than any

2334
01:56:07,680 --> 01:56:10,960
Speaker 1: other position on the field. Those guys are under the microscope.

2335
01:56:10,960 --> 01:56:13,600
Speaker 1: And let's face it, what team out there is not

2336
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:17,200
Speaker 1: in the market for an upgrade at that position on

2337
01:56:17,280 --> 01:56:20,720
Speaker 1: the first second, a third spot on their roster our

01:57:13,800 --> 01:57:15,200
Speaker 1: we're back. We're back for the show. We got to

2352
01:57:15,240 --> 01:57:18,480
Speaker 1: show tomorrow as well. We got Versus color analyst on

2353
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings radio network. He'll be joining us tomorrow. We've

2354
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,839
Speaker 1: got Thad Brown sideline reporter with Steve and Andrew Catalan

2355
01:57:25,960 --> 01:57:27,760
Speaker 1: on the television side. He'll be with a S tomorrow.

2356
01:57:28,000 --> 01:57:31,240
Speaker 1: Plus maybe some more surprises tomorrow. We'll find out. Vikings

2357
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:32,840
Speaker 1: do a funny thing. As I told you, I watched

2358
01:57:32,840 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 1: the I watched the Cardinals Vikings game from last Saturday

2359
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: on NFL network. TAP didn't watch it. They do a simulcast,

2360
01:57:40,320 --> 01:57:42,760
Speaker 1: so they're calling radio and TV, which is really difficult

2361
01:57:42,760 --> 01:57:45,160
Speaker 1: to watch. It's too much, you know what I mean.

2362
01:57:45,160 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 1: You watch a game on TV, you know you've done TV.

2363
01:57:48,640 --> 01:57:51,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to overload people with information or yacking voices,

2364
01:57:51,560 --> 01:57:54,080
Speaker 1: But when you're doing it on radio, that's all you have. Oh,

2365
01:57:54,160 --> 01:57:59,400
Speaker 1: I see they're simulcast, they're talking through the play goes

2366
01:57:59,440 --> 01:58:01,040
Speaker 1: to us, right, Well, I see which way he's going.

2367
01:58:01,120 --> 01:58:03,720
Speaker 1: It's it's it's tough. I don't like it. I don't

2368
01:58:03,760 --> 01:58:05,920
Speaker 1: like it. Oh I got you. Yeah, I could see there.

2369
01:58:06,040 --> 01:58:08,200
Speaker 1: Oh wow. And we'll talk with Pete Versage about that.

2370
01:58:08,360 --> 01:58:10,960
Speaker 1: But more importantly the Vikings. Uh. I'll tell you what.

2371
01:58:11,040 --> 01:58:13,080
Speaker 1: And I mentioned this to um. Who do we have

2372
01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:18,480
Speaker 1: on earlier in this show? Oh terres Taylor about Kirk Cousins.

2373
01:58:18,480 --> 01:58:21,320
Speaker 1: He played poorly last Saturday, Steve. He looked awful to

2374
01:58:21,440 --> 01:58:24,400
Speaker 1: me last Saturday. And they got the one quarterback that

2375
01:58:24,440 --> 01:58:26,760
Speaker 1: you and I have mentioned, we've made mention of who's

2376
01:58:26,800 --> 01:58:29,320
Speaker 1: just lighting it up with numbers anyway, and that would

2377
01:58:29,320 --> 01:58:32,680
Speaker 1: be their third or fourth guy, Kyle Sloterer, who has

2378
01:58:32,720 --> 01:58:35,640
Speaker 1: made a name for himself in Minnesota with his um

2379
01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:38,760
Speaker 1: late preseason game heroics. He's not a he's not a rookie,

2380
01:58:38,920 --> 01:58:41,720
Speaker 1: three or four year vendoran Kyle Sloter who's got sensational

2381
01:58:41,800 --> 01:58:44,840
Speaker 1: numbers for Minnesota this preseason, and I see I think

2382
01:58:44,840 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 1: we'll see a lot of him in the game. You talk,

2383
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:49,440
Speaker 1: you talk about this, we're on this subject to these

2384
01:58:49,520 --> 01:58:52,440
Speaker 1: quarterbacks because you know Tyree Jackson starting here. We talked

2385
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:56,880
Speaker 1: about Jake dola gala uh in Cincinnati, who's lighting it up.

2386
01:58:57,080 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 1: We were just watching that. We played the preseason game

2387
01:58:59,440 --> 01:59:02,880
Speaker 1: of the Colts and the Bears where Chad Kelly is

2388
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: on the field for the Colts. The Colts are now

2389
01:59:05,360 --> 01:59:11,320
Speaker 1: they're looking at Colts brought in Brock Osweiler. Oh for right. Wow,

2390
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:14,959
Speaker 1: you got a paint scraper trying to find a quarterback.

2391
01:59:15,000 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: And you know, now you've got guys like Tyree, guys

2392
01:59:17,800 --> 01:59:20,280
Speaker 1: like Jake Dolagatta and also the fourth round pick of

2393
01:59:20,320 --> 01:59:22,080
Speaker 1: the Bengals too. They got four guys on their roster.

2394
01:59:22,160 --> 01:59:25,280
Speaker 1: Somebody's getting jettisoned off that roster and other places around

2395
01:59:25,320 --> 01:59:28,720
Speaker 1: the league. So you know, those guys are gonna they're

2396
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:32,240
Speaker 1: gonna play musical chairs these quarterbacks. Yeah, Colts probably never

2397
01:59:32,280 --> 01:59:34,320
Speaker 1: imagined it'd be in this position, but to think about it,

2398
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:36,480
Speaker 1: they gotta have a guy. They gotta have somebody. Hey,

2399
01:59:36,520 --> 01:59:39,280
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson gets to start tomorrow, and he talked to

2400
01:59:39,360 --> 01:59:42,080
Speaker 1: the media this week about getting the start his first

2401
01:59:42,120 --> 01:59:46,120
Speaker 1: preseason start. Here's what he had to say. Just really

2402
01:59:46,120 --> 01:59:47,600
Speaker 1: focus on the day to day, like I'll try to

2403
01:59:47,600 --> 01:59:49,680
Speaker 1: do it throughout the whole entire camp. You know, some

2404
01:59:49,840 --> 01:59:51,720
Speaker 1: marathion's not a sprint, so you know it really just

2405
01:59:51,760 --> 01:59:53,360
Speaker 1: folcus on me and is today and then probably just

2406
01:59:53,400 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 1: tomorrow and just continue to improve. Well, how have you

2407
01:59:56,320 --> 01:59:59,080
Speaker 1: improved from where you started in the first came in

2408
01:59:59,160 --> 02:00:00,840
Speaker 1: roo committee camp. Here we are at the end of

2409
02:00:00,840 --> 02:00:03,160
Speaker 1: the preseason. Yeah, it's really picking up the offense, you know,

2410
02:00:03,280 --> 02:00:06,040
Speaker 1: being able to play fast and play comfortable. Um, definitely

2411
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:08,880
Speaker 1: still learning process being a rookie in the NFL. Uh,

2412
02:00:09,080 --> 02:00:11,160
Speaker 1: you know, every day you learn something new, so just

2413
02:00:11,280 --> 02:00:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, continue to learn and and you know, lean

2414
02:00:14,000 --> 02:00:16,680
Speaker 1: on the people like Josh and Matt. Pretty nice size

2415
02:00:16,760 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 1: job interviewtiful you though around the league, Right, there's a

2416
02:00:20,760 --> 02:00:22,840
Speaker 1: chance to go put some stuff on film. Yeah, you know,

2417
02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:24,640
Speaker 1: it's a blessing anytime you get to suit up and

2418
02:00:24,720 --> 02:00:26,840
Speaker 1: playing in a game. So you know it'll be it'll

2419
02:00:26,880 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 1: be fun and it'll be exciting. But you carently focus

2420
02:00:29,520 --> 02:00:31,800
Speaker 1: too much on, you know, the big picture of it.

2421
02:00:31,800 --> 02:00:33,560
Speaker 1: You really got to just focus on the each play

2422
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:35,760
Speaker 1: each Now, there were a lot of penalties called and

2423
02:00:35,840 --> 02:00:38,080
Speaker 1: you try on multilos side, So I didn't coach and

2424
02:00:38,240 --> 02:00:41,120
Speaker 1: just grazed didn't coach with German instead brought up at

2425
02:00:41,160 --> 02:00:46,280
Speaker 1: all team meetings or anything. I think usual. I think really,

2426
02:00:46,280 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: you know, we just try to stay disciplined, and you know,

2427
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 1: our coach you do a great job of holding as accountable,

2428
02:00:50,480 --> 02:00:52,680
Speaker 1: and you know we just kind of listen as they say,

2429
02:00:52,720 --> 02:00:55,080
Speaker 1: and you know they do a great job holding us accountable.

2430
02:00:55,280 --> 02:00:58,400
Speaker 1: How have you progressed in your ability to really take

2431
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:01,480
Speaker 1: it one plate a time, understand your opportunities are limited,

2432
02:01:01,800 --> 02:01:04,320
Speaker 1: and not putting too much pressure in each play. Yeah,

2433
02:01:04,360 --> 02:01:06,440
Speaker 1: you know sometimes it's harder than others, but you know,

2434
02:01:07,160 --> 02:01:08,680
Speaker 1: you just got to learn. It's part of it's part

2435
02:01:08,680 --> 02:01:10,040
Speaker 1: of the NFL's part of the learning. It's part of

2436
02:01:10,040 --> 02:01:12,440
Speaker 1: me on the rookie quarterback, you know, just making the

2437
02:01:12,520 --> 02:01:15,400
Speaker 1: right play every time and you know, improving daily. It's

2438
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:17,120
Speaker 1: you want to look dollar Row, you want to look

2439
02:01:17,160 --> 02:01:18,840
Speaker 1: you know, weeks away and stuff like that. But really

2440
02:01:18,840 --> 02:01:20,160
Speaker 1: you just got to focus on the day to day.

2441
02:01:20,280 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 1: And you know that's that's what I'll try to do.

2442
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,800
Speaker 1: Gy rejecting all the right answers, but he needs answers

2443
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:29,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow night. And as somebody asked him, there a pretty

2444
02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:31,720
Speaker 1: good question. It's a huge job interviews, not just for

2445
02:01:31,760 --> 02:01:34,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, right Steve. Everybody, Like we said, they've

2446
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:36,480
Speaker 1: all got a book on him too. They own right

2447
02:01:36,640 --> 02:01:38,720
Speaker 1: who he is. And one of the things too, is

2448
02:01:38,760 --> 02:01:40,960
Speaker 1: that some people have said, to listen, maybe the cuts

2449
02:01:41,000 --> 02:01:43,520
Speaker 1: should happen earlier, because now if guys get cut, how

2450
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:45,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna catch on with somebody. Listen, here's the thing.

2451
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Everybody can watch the film and they're evaluating you on

2452
02:01:50,400 --> 02:01:53,360
Speaker 1: that film, and they're evaluating you on a team that

2453
02:01:53,400 --> 02:01:55,360
Speaker 1: you have been in training camp with for a month

2454
02:01:55,400 --> 02:01:57,600
Speaker 1: and a half, You've been working through OTAs, you've had,

2455
02:01:57,720 --> 02:01:59,600
Speaker 1: you know, had all these reps with this team in

2456
02:01:59,640 --> 02:02:02,920
Speaker 1: this them. If you're not playing well for them, you know,

2457
02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:06,120
Speaker 1: with their coaching, and then what you know, why would

2458
02:02:06,120 --> 02:02:08,720
Speaker 1: you play well for us? They're looking at guys who

2459
02:02:08,720 --> 02:02:11,280
Speaker 1: have played well wherever they are. If you're not playing well,

2460
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:13,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you got cut two weeks ago,

2461
02:02:13,320 --> 02:02:16,240
Speaker 1: if you got to get cut tomorrow. You're not playing

2462
02:02:16,280 --> 02:02:18,000
Speaker 1: well enough to make the team, you're not gonna get

2463
02:02:18,040 --> 02:02:20,840
Speaker 1: another chance. The reason you get another chance, whether it's

2464
02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:24,480
Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago or coming up this weekend,

2465
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,720
Speaker 1: is because you're gonna get make the team because you

2466
02:02:27,840 --> 02:02:30,920
Speaker 1: play well, or you're not gonna make the team because

2467
02:02:30,960 --> 02:02:32,960
Speaker 1: you didn't play well, or because they've got too many

2468
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:34,960
Speaker 1: guys there at that position and you got caught in

2469
02:02:34,960 --> 02:02:37,440
Speaker 1: the numbers game. Those are the guys that have a

2470
02:02:37,520 --> 02:02:40,600
Speaker 1: chance to land with somebody. The cuts happen as late

2471
02:02:40,600 --> 02:02:42,760
Speaker 1: as they can to give these guys a chance to

2472
02:02:42,840 --> 02:02:45,520
Speaker 1: learn enough to play well enough, to play fast enough,

2473
02:02:45,560 --> 02:02:48,560
Speaker 1: to play confidently enough, because they've got enough meetings and

2474
02:02:48,640 --> 02:02:51,120
Speaker 1: playbook under their belt to allow them to do it

2475
02:02:51,160 --> 02:02:54,960
Speaker 1: without thinking. That's what you know this game is all about.

2476
02:02:55,000 --> 02:02:57,800
Speaker 1: You're gonna have these guys, you know, the Kyrie Jackson

2477
02:02:57,840 --> 02:03:01,160
Speaker 1: will take a snap from center, turned to his right

2478
02:03:01,560 --> 02:03:05,200
Speaker 1: or turned to his left and hand the ball to somebody.

2479
02:03:04,640 --> 02:03:07,560
Speaker 1: That's easy, and that's how easy that most of these

2480
02:03:07,560 --> 02:03:09,880
Speaker 1: players are gonna be at this level because they want

2481
02:03:09,920 --> 02:03:11,560
Speaker 1: these guys and not have to think about too much.

2482
02:03:11,960 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Forget about if the corners here do this, if the

2483
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:17,120
Speaker 1: corners there do that, if the safety's there do this,

2484
02:03:17,160 --> 02:03:18,760
Speaker 1: and if the corner and the safety are doing that,

2485
02:03:19,040 --> 02:03:21,640
Speaker 1: do something else. None of that's going on. They say,

2486
02:03:21,760 --> 02:03:24,160
Speaker 1: just when the ball snap, do that thing. We told you.

2487
02:03:25,440 --> 02:03:27,640
Speaker 1: That's it. That's that's simple. So they can see these

2488
02:03:27,640 --> 02:03:33,000
Speaker 1: guys play fast and compete, so you know one of

2489
02:03:33,080 --> 02:03:37,280
Speaker 1: these guys. It's it is the most important spot of

2490
02:03:37,320 --> 02:03:40,800
Speaker 1: the preseason for these guys. They gotta play well. They

2491
02:03:40,840 --> 02:03:43,280
Speaker 1: gotta play well, and if they flash in a big way,

2492
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: even if they get cut this weekend, they're gonna have

2493
02:03:46,000 --> 02:03:47,720
Speaker 1: something on film where somebody's gonna say, you know what

2494
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:49,839
Speaker 1: we saw you play in that game against the Vikings.

2495
02:03:49,840 --> 02:03:52,440
Speaker 1: You know, we want you to come in for a workout. Okay, yep,

2496
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:55,080
Speaker 1: that's it. Hey. Our Twitter poll today, what have you

2497
02:03:55,240 --> 02:03:58,040
Speaker 1: learned from the Bill's first three preseason games. We've had

2498
02:03:58,040 --> 02:04:00,280
Speaker 1: more than eight hundred votes in so far. What have

2499
02:04:00,320 --> 02:04:02,520
Speaker 1: you learned from what you've seen so far? On Twitter?

2500
02:04:03,320 --> 02:04:05,160
Speaker 1: Thirty five percent of you say you've learned that the

2501
02:04:05,160 --> 02:04:08,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo defense will be even better than it was last year,

2502
02:04:08,600 --> 02:04:10,720
Speaker 1: twenty six percent of you say you've learned that the

2503
02:04:10,760 --> 02:04:13,480
Speaker 1: Bills run game will be better, twenty five percent of

2504
02:04:13,520 --> 02:04:16,400
Speaker 1: you think the passing game will be better, and fourteen

2505
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,200
Speaker 1: percent of something else in mind. Give us a call,

2506
02:04:18,240 --> 02:04:21,160
Speaker 1: will discuss eight oh three five fifty toll free one

2507
02:04:21,320 --> 02:04:23,760
Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty week can

2508
02:04:23,840 --> 02:04:26,200
Speaker 1: talk about anything regarding the Bills or the NFL if

2509
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:27,880
Speaker 1: you'd like to give us a call on that. The

2510
02:04:27,920 --> 02:04:30,560
Speaker 1: tweet sheet with some responses to our Twitter poll. The

2511
02:04:30,560 --> 02:04:33,400
Speaker 1: tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

2512
02:04:33,440 --> 02:04:36,800
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Bryan tweets this and

2513
02:04:37,200 --> 02:04:40,360
Speaker 1: Allen and the passing attack look much improved despite the

2514
02:04:40,360 --> 02:04:43,120
Speaker 1: third preseason game, which will help the run game. Special

2515
02:04:43,160 --> 02:04:46,240
Speaker 1: teams look better too. Our defense has the potential to

2516
02:04:46,280 --> 02:04:51,280
Speaker 1: be even better than the last two years. Okay, yeah,

2517
02:04:51,320 --> 02:04:53,120
Speaker 1: here's the thing too, A tough spot. They were number

2518
02:04:53,160 --> 02:04:55,040
Speaker 1: two overall in the league last year. They could play

2519
02:04:55,080 --> 02:04:59,400
Speaker 1: better and maybe not be highly as highly ranked, you

2520
02:04:59,440 --> 02:05:02,760
Speaker 1: know what I mean. They could just more sacks, all

2521
02:05:02,760 --> 02:05:04,600
Speaker 1: of that stuff and maybe not be his highly rank,

2522
02:05:04,640 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: maybe give up more yards once in a while. But um,

2523
02:05:06,840 --> 02:05:09,640
Speaker 1: and which is how they rank these defenses? And yards

2524
02:05:09,640 --> 02:05:12,000
Speaker 1: given up? Um? I always thought it was about points

2525
02:05:12,000 --> 02:05:14,760
Speaker 1: given up, but it should have been. But it's not. Um.

2526
02:05:15,480 --> 02:05:19,440
Speaker 1: The Bill's defense could play better, score more points, allow

2527
02:05:19,560 --> 02:05:23,160
Speaker 1: fewer points, and be ranked lower than they were last year.

2528
02:05:23,720 --> 02:05:25,880
Speaker 1: Number two overall in the league is really good year

2529
02:05:25,960 --> 02:05:28,600
Speaker 1: for them, and I think they're really underrated because you know,

2530
02:05:28,640 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 1: they were on a team that was, you know, playing

2531
02:05:30,240 --> 02:05:34,200
Speaker 1: six and ten football. And I'm really interested to see

2532
02:05:34,200 --> 02:05:36,360
Speaker 1: how this defense plays this year, if there are if

2533
02:05:36,360 --> 02:05:39,520
Speaker 1: this offense can score some points. I think it's really

2534
02:05:39,520 --> 02:05:42,240
Speaker 1: intriguing to think about. I think one, should I go

2535
02:05:42,240 --> 02:05:45,600
Speaker 1: one more from the tweech third one? All right, I'll

2536
02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:48,280
Speaker 1: go from derelict. Here we go. I think the most

2537
02:05:48,280 --> 02:05:51,840
Speaker 1: important I think the most important thing that has come

2538
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:53,920
Speaker 1: out of the preseason is the quality of depth. This

2539
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:56,080
Speaker 1: is the first year in a long time that I

2540
02:05:56,080 --> 02:05:58,440
Speaker 1: can remember thinking that we are deep and how hard

2541
02:05:58,560 --> 02:06:01,400
Speaker 1: cutdown day is going to be. There are legitimate players

2542
02:06:01,400 --> 02:06:03,640
Speaker 1: that will be cut off the roster. That's been a

2543
02:06:03,680 --> 02:06:06,640
Speaker 1: common refrain for you and I. Right, I mean, there's

2544
02:06:06,640 --> 02:06:08,000
Speaker 1: some guys that can play that are going to be

2545
02:06:08,000 --> 02:06:10,080
Speaker 1: out on the street off this team. And the last

2546
02:06:10,080 --> 02:06:15,200
Speaker 1: one from Dougie, his answer is d it wasn't pretty

2547
02:06:15,240 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 1: every snap this preseason, but I have a sense that

2548
02:06:17,240 --> 02:06:19,560
Speaker 1: the offensive line will be better this season, especially when

2549
02:06:19,560 --> 02:06:22,640
Speaker 1: everyone's healthy and have built a chemistry of playing together.

2550
02:06:22,680 --> 02:06:25,440
Speaker 1: It may take time, but overall, I believe O line

2551
02:06:25,480 --> 02:06:27,960
Speaker 1: play will be better. I agree with that you know,

2552
02:06:28,240 --> 02:06:30,080
Speaker 1: we both had production meeting today and I got a

2553
02:06:30,160 --> 02:06:33,120
Speaker 1: chance to talk briefly with coach McDermot after that did

2554
02:06:33,160 --> 02:06:38,040
Speaker 1: an interview for tomorrow's pregame show. And look at I don't.

2555
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:40,560
Speaker 1: I'm not a worrier, right, but the fact that the

2556
02:06:40,600 --> 02:06:43,400
Speaker 1: offensive line will get through the preseason without playing a

2557
02:06:43,440 --> 02:06:47,640
Speaker 1: game together is cost for some concern. But as McDermott

2558
02:06:47,640 --> 02:06:49,160
Speaker 1: pointed out, and I think Bean said this when we

2559
02:06:49,160 --> 02:06:52,360
Speaker 1: were talking to him today's tea, they have identified pretty

2560
02:06:52,360 --> 02:06:54,800
Speaker 1: good crew. They don't know exactly who the starters were

2561
02:06:54,840 --> 02:06:56,360
Speaker 1: going to be yet, but if you take the crew

2562
02:06:56,400 --> 02:06:59,840
Speaker 1: of Dawkins healthy, Spain when he's healthy, Mitch Morris when

2563
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:03,640
Speaker 1: he Southy Feliciano, Cody Ford, Tie, and Secky Spencer Long,

2564
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 1: what's that eight? Yeah, there's seven and maybe throw who

2565
02:07:09,200 --> 02:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Butker or Bryan Bates about eight or nine man crew?

2566
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:15,760
Speaker 1: You can find starters there. Yeah, not finding him as

2567
02:07:15,800 --> 02:07:17,440
Speaker 1: early as you hope to, but you can find a

2568
02:07:17,480 --> 02:07:19,720
Speaker 1: starting group there. I think a good starting Yeah, and

2569
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:26,200
Speaker 1: with some good depth. I'm totally with you. You'd like

2570
02:07:26,240 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 1: to see him play, no question, But man, those are

2571
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:33,880
Speaker 1: that ship has sailed, Yeah, I think they're I think

2572
02:07:33,880 --> 02:07:36,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna be all right up there, even if even

2573
02:07:36,760 --> 02:07:38,960
Speaker 1: if you start the season with maybe two guys nicked,

2574
02:07:39,720 --> 02:07:42,680
Speaker 1: Mitch Morrison or I think Spain will probably be all

2575
02:07:42,720 --> 02:07:44,760
Speaker 1: right by the opener. I mean, it's a it's an ankle,

2576
02:07:44,840 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 1: and it's still two weeks, two full weeks away from

2577
02:07:48,400 --> 02:07:50,320
Speaker 1: the opener, So I think Spain is gonna be fine

2578
02:07:50,360 --> 02:07:53,160
Speaker 1: when he gets in there. But you've got you know, Feliciano,

2579
02:07:53,240 --> 02:07:59,080
Speaker 1: Spencer Long and Quentin Spain down inside along with Ike

2580
02:07:59,160 --> 02:08:01,880
Speaker 1: Butker or Wyatt Teller one of those two guys, and

2581
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:06,720
Speaker 1: you've got you know, Tie and Seki's a quality tackle

2582
02:08:06,720 --> 02:08:08,440
Speaker 1: that's going to be coming back onto the onto the

2583
02:08:08,480 --> 02:08:12,080
Speaker 1: field as well. So that puts Cody Ford down inside

2584
02:08:12,080 --> 02:08:14,200
Speaker 1: instead of it right tackle. So you've got guys that

2585
02:08:14,240 --> 02:08:15,880
Speaker 1: are really going to be good. An upgrade, and you

2586
02:08:15,920 --> 02:08:19,600
Speaker 1: think about it, four new starters, four new starters, and

2587
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:22,400
Speaker 1: one of the starters that you had last year just

2588
02:08:22,440 --> 02:08:24,880
Speaker 1: got cut off. The Miami Dolphins who've been accused of tanking,

2589
02:08:27,680 --> 02:08:30,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, how do you they're gonna be better.

2590
02:08:30,800 --> 02:08:33,200
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be better. I think so too. Hey,

2591
02:08:33,280 --> 02:08:36,480
Speaker 1: speaking of the Dolphins changing gears a little bit as

2592
02:08:36,520 --> 02:08:39,040
Speaker 1: we almost get to break our buddy. Armando sall garol Right,

2593
02:08:39,320 --> 02:08:41,040
Speaker 1: covers of Dolphins been in the show a lot talking

2594
02:08:41,040 --> 02:08:44,160
Speaker 1: about Miami. Just tweeted this out, Armando sall Garo. The

2595
02:08:44,200 --> 02:08:48,560
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins consider themselves leaders in the sweepstakes to train

2596
02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:53,680
Speaker 1: for Houston defensive Enjadavian Clowney story with details coming. You

2597
02:08:53,720 --> 02:08:55,960
Speaker 1: can't believe it, can you, Steve? I cannot believe it?

2598
02:08:56,000 --> 02:08:59,480
Speaker 1: Why I think I know why? I think I agree

2599
02:08:59,480 --> 02:09:02,920
Speaker 1: with you. What's what's Jendaveon Clowney gonna do for that

2600
02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:05,160
Speaker 1: bad roster right now? What? How does he help them?

2601
02:09:05,160 --> 02:09:09,200
Speaker 1: They're not close to contention. You wouldn't think um if

2602
02:09:09,200 --> 02:09:10,920
Speaker 1: they're tanking and it looks like you know, when you

2603
02:09:10,960 --> 02:09:12,320
Speaker 1: look at some of their moves with some of the

2604
02:09:12,400 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 1: veterans they they let go, you wonder what they envisioned

2605
02:09:15,480 --> 02:09:18,800
Speaker 1: Jadeveon Clowney does for them, at least short term, not much.

2606
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:20,840
Speaker 1: And I don't know how you can talk much more

2607
02:09:20,840 --> 02:09:24,280
Speaker 1: than short term about Jadeveon Clowney because you cannot. Even

2608
02:09:24,280 --> 02:09:26,920
Speaker 1: if you got a walletful of money, if you got

2609
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:29,480
Speaker 1: a checkbook ready to go, you cannot sign him to

2610
02:09:29,520 --> 02:09:32,640
Speaker 1: a long term contract until next year, So why are

2611
02:09:32,640 --> 02:09:37,760
Speaker 1: we talking? And that makes he has to be willing

2612
02:09:38,240 --> 02:09:40,040
Speaker 1: to pass up a chance to be a free agent, right,

2613
02:09:40,160 --> 02:09:43,040
Speaker 1: you would think that you get discussion for franchise him,

2614
02:09:44,120 --> 02:09:50,200
Speaker 1: you get franchise him, I guess, but man, oh man,

2615
02:09:50,840 --> 02:09:52,880
Speaker 1: I just don't. I don't like that at all. I

2616
02:09:52,920 --> 02:09:55,120
Speaker 1: don't like it at all for the for the Dolphins.

2617
02:09:55,160 --> 02:09:57,640
Speaker 1: If I'm a Dolphins fan, what are they gonna I mean,

2618
02:09:57,680 --> 02:09:58,760
Speaker 1: if they can, if you can get him for a

2619
02:09:58,840 --> 02:10:02,320
Speaker 1: bag of football, sure, right, we'll see what the trade

2620
02:10:02,320 --> 02:10:06,560
Speaker 1: they're talking about Laramie Tunsil. Yeah, a left tackle, A

2621
02:10:06,680 --> 02:10:10,160
Speaker 1: highly regarded left tackle, right, pretty highly regard, pretty highly regarded.

2622
02:10:10,200 --> 02:10:13,360
Speaker 1: We'll see where that trade goes. He played well, lush, Yeah, okay,

2623
02:10:13,560 --> 02:10:16,240
Speaker 1: I used to wait and see because I yeah, this

2624
02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:18,960
Speaker 1: one I gotta I can't see. I just cannot see it.

2625
02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:20,840
Speaker 1: All Right, we got a break here. We're coming back

2626
02:10:20,840 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by allat of Health from One

2627
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:38,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. So what do

2628
02:10:38,720 --> 02:10:41,040
Speaker 1: we learn from today's show? What did we learned? We

2629
02:10:41,080 --> 02:10:44,360
Speaker 1: had some good guests, including Toures Payler from a Yahoo

2630
02:10:44,400 --> 02:10:46,480
Speaker 1: sports dot com. He came into Buffalo a week or

2631
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:49,120
Speaker 1: so ago and did a huge piece on Josh Allen.

2632
02:10:49,200 --> 02:10:51,320
Speaker 1: It's up on Yahoo sports dot com right now. You

2633
02:10:51,440 --> 02:10:53,920
Speaker 1: talked about how Josh Allen has embraced the role of

2634
02:10:54,040 --> 02:11:00,240
Speaker 1: being Buffalo's franchise quarterback. Here's Toures Payler. First thing, I asked, Hey,

2635
02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:03,600
Speaker 1: how many times Bills fans mentioned the early Nikes Bills

2636
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:06,280
Speaker 1: or like Jim Kelly and like, hey, this is coming

2637
02:11:06,280 --> 02:11:09,040
Speaker 1: from fans, like fans like hey, you're the next two. Hey,

2638
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:11,280
Speaker 1: we want you to be like Jim, and like, I

2639
02:11:11,320 --> 02:11:13,560
Speaker 1: think the thing is that Josh Allen truly loves the

2640
02:11:13,600 --> 02:11:15,720
Speaker 1: game of football. I think if you sit and talk

2641
02:11:15,760 --> 02:11:17,800
Speaker 1: to him for thirty minutes like I did, that comes

2642
02:11:17,800 --> 02:11:20,400
Speaker 1: through pretty clear. He's having the time of his life.

2643
02:11:20,600 --> 02:11:22,880
Speaker 1: He enjoyed being in the Facebook. He's been joining it.

2644
02:11:23,760 --> 02:11:25,560
Speaker 1: This is all he ever wanted to do growing up.

2645
02:11:25,560 --> 02:11:27,840
Speaker 1: He used to sleep with a football in his bed,

2646
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:31,400
Speaker 1: like he'd been joining this ride. So while that's obviously

2647
02:11:31,440 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 1: like big that's a big goal, Like Jim Kelly is

2648
02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:37,400
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer, right, I don't think like the

2649
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:39,480
Speaker 1: pressure of its like weighing on him because he's just

2650
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:43,200
Speaker 1: having so much fun. Dress Taylor talking about Josh Allen.

2651
02:11:43,320 --> 02:11:45,840
Speaker 1: Check out his story at Yahoo Sports dot com. Jim

2652
02:11:45,920 --> 02:11:48,280
Speaker 1: Kubiak joined US a moment ago. Western New York native

2653
02:11:48,320 --> 02:11:51,880
Speaker 1: of the Western New York Quarterback Academy, Jim Kubiak excelled

2654
02:11:51,920 --> 02:11:54,480
Speaker 1: as a college quarterback at the Naval Academy and played

2655
02:11:54,520 --> 02:11:56,120
Speaker 1: a little bit in the NFL. He did You Be

2656
02:11:56,200 --> 02:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Football on the radio for a while, he saw a

2657
02:11:58,320 --> 02:12:01,240
Speaker 1: lot of Tyree Jackson. Tyree's is starter for the Bills tomorrow,

2658
02:12:01,360 --> 02:12:03,360
Speaker 1: and Kubiak talks about what he has seen so far

2659
02:12:03,440 --> 02:12:08,800
Speaker 1: this freak season from Tyree Jackson. Tyree is a big

2660
02:12:08,840 --> 02:12:11,080
Speaker 1: physical specimen. We all know he ran up four or

2661
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:13,920
Speaker 1: five at the combine and we've we've all seen him

2662
02:12:13,960 --> 02:12:16,960
Speaker 1: throw the ball seventy five yards down the field. Big arm,

2663
02:12:17,040 --> 02:12:22,640
Speaker 1: big physical guy. An unbelievable opportunity for him is the

2664
02:12:22,640 --> 02:12:25,560
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills only bring in three quarterbacks to camp, so

2665
02:12:26,240 --> 02:12:31,240
Speaker 1: really Tyree's just proving, I think himself, to be a

2666
02:12:31,320 --> 02:12:33,640
Speaker 1: passer from the pocket. And I think one of the

2667
02:12:33,720 --> 02:12:37,400
Speaker 1: things that this opportunity, this fourth preseason game where he

2668
02:12:37,440 --> 02:12:39,920
Speaker 1: gets to start, is a real chance for him to

2669
02:12:39,960 --> 02:12:42,560
Speaker 1: go out there from from the start to finish. And

2670
02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:45,120
Speaker 1: prove to the Buffalo Bills that he can do the

2671
02:12:45,240 --> 02:12:48,560
Speaker 1: things necessary from the pocket. And I think, you know,

2672
02:12:48,640 --> 02:12:52,160
Speaker 1: college football is so different than pro football from a

2673
02:12:53,000 --> 02:12:57,000
Speaker 1: strategical standpoint, from what they do with the quarterbacks. Jim

2674
02:12:57,080 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Kubiak on Tyree Jackson going back to dress plate Taylor.

2675
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:02,560
Speaker 1: I miss this when he said it in real time.

2676
02:13:02,600 --> 02:13:05,440
Speaker 1: Did you hear him say that Josh Allen slept with

2677
02:13:05,440 --> 02:13:07,040
Speaker 1: the football when he was a young kid, when he

2678
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:10,080
Speaker 1: was a kid. I didn't. I didn't know you did.

2679
02:13:10,320 --> 02:13:12,680
Speaker 1: I would no, I said no, I said, you slept

2680
02:13:12,680 --> 02:13:16,879
Speaker 1: with the football. I did not. That it's a little abnormal.

2681
02:13:16,920 --> 02:13:19,839
Speaker 1: I slept with I slept with my three older brothers.

2682
02:13:20,080 --> 02:13:25,960
Speaker 1: That tal no. Um, Hey, it's a life goal. That's

2683
02:13:26,120 --> 02:13:27,800
Speaker 1: he's loving it. He's eating it up. You saw it

2684
02:13:27,800 --> 02:13:30,080
Speaker 1: a training camp. He was going above and beyond. He's

2685
02:13:30,120 --> 02:13:32,680
Speaker 1: got a great attitude about everything outside the lines that

2686
02:13:32,720 --> 02:13:34,960
Speaker 1: he's expected to do. You see the guy, I mean

2687
02:13:35,040 --> 02:13:38,360
Speaker 1: I saw him in the airport, um trying to get

2688
02:13:38,360 --> 02:13:41,880
Speaker 1: on a plane. He does the Jim Kelly thing better

2689
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,120
Speaker 1: than Jim at this point in his career. You know,

2690
02:13:44,240 --> 02:13:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he gets it. He gets you don't want

2691
02:13:46,440 --> 02:13:48,960
Speaker 1: to be at this point of his career, when Jim

2692
02:13:49,000 --> 02:13:52,080
Speaker 1: was a rookie in the NFL, Jim was like, you know,

2693
02:13:52,400 --> 02:13:56,240
Speaker 1: I got Yeah, he wasn't as polished. Yes, uh, and
