1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,920
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual roll

3
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: of leader State, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: the straded beer of normalcy here, all right, let's rock

5
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:33,120
Speaker 1: and roll here on a Friday, the first Friday practice

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: of training camp, day five in the books, after a

7
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: day off yesterday had shells on today. The pads officially

8
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: go on tomorrow Saturday's practice, but in all likelihood one

9
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,560
Speaker 1: guy who won't be practicing is Micah Hyde. In case

10
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: you haven't heard, Micah Hyde went up high in the

11
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:54,279
Speaker 1: air for a pass deep over the middle to make

12
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:57,880
Speaker 1: an interception on a ball, made the interception, but landed

13
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 1: very hard on the round and immediately rolled over onto

14
00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,559
Speaker 1: his stomach. Was kicking a little bit at the ground

15
00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 1: in pain, and popped his helmet off as well, presumably

16
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:14,840
Speaker 1: in frustration, maybe in pain too. And the official word

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:19,960
Speaker 1: from the Bills on his injury was it's a glute

18
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 1: hip injury. So it's his gluteus maximus and his hip.

19
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
Speaker 1: It seemed that way coming off the field, because when

20
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: they finally did get him up on his feet, he

21
00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 1: did walk off the field under his own power, but

22
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,760
Speaker 1: he was kind of hobbling a little bit, not putting

23
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: a lot of weight on the affected hip and glute,

24
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,520
Speaker 1: and so he got to the sideline. They checked him

25
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: out for another couple of minutes, and then they brought

26
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 1: the Gator card out for him and carted him to

27
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: the locker room. He obviously did not return. He is

28
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 1: still under evaluation at this point, so there is no

29
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: timetable on the length of his injury. Oftentimes, when we

30
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: asked Coach McDermott, after he gets a full report, he'll

31
00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 1: label people day to day or week to week. So

32
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: we're just gonna have to wait on that to see

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:07,880
Speaker 1: what the designation will be from Micah Hyde. And truthfully,

34
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,400
Speaker 1: there's no reason to rush him back on the practice

35
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,640
Speaker 1: field anyway. He's a proving commodity. They know what he

36
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: can do, so just get him healthy and right in

37
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: due course and then get him back on the practice

38
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,600
Speaker 1: field when it's suitable. Other news concerning today, Dion Dawkins

39
00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:26,840
Speaker 1: not in attendance at practice here on Friday. He was

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 1: excused for a personal matter. How long that personal matter

41
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 1: keeps him away, we don't know, but it did keep

42
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 1: him out of practice today and what that did was

43
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:41,000
Speaker 1: it left the Bill's offensive line supremely shorthanded. Today, we

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: already know that Spencer Brown, the right tackle, is not

45
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: participating in any team segments of practice. So they're down

46
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 1: or right tackle right off the rip, and then after

47
00:02:50,600 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: that we know they're right. They're one of their guards.

48
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Roger Saffold one of the free agent signees in the offseason.

49
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,240
Speaker 1: He hasn't played at all because of a car accident

50
00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: that resulted in a rib injury. And I actually saw

51
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:05,760
Speaker 1: Roger upstairs at the cafeteria and I went to grab

52
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 1: some lunch, and he's naturally frustrated by it. He told me,

53
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 1: I've been here for five days. It feels like I've

54
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: been here a month. It's eating him up that he

55
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: cannot practice, but with the rib injury, it's just not

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: something they're going to entertain now, and so hopefully he

57
00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 1: can heal. Hopefully they're filling them up with the whole

58
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:28,079
Speaker 1: milk and the bones are healing up for him there.

59
00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 1: So that's a guard that they're down. And Ryan Bates

60
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,639
Speaker 1: has missed the last two days of practice, so that's

61
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 1: their other guard projected to be the starter who's down

62
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 1: and not participating, So then you add Dion Dawkins. Today,

63
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: you essentially had one guy from the projected starting lineup

64
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:44,760
Speaker 1: for the offensive line today, and that was Mitch Morrison,

65
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: the pivot, so he's got essentially four backups with him.

66
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: They did their best to hold things together today, but

67
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: they did fall victim to a lot of penetration by

68
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: the defensive line and just their luck. It was a

69
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: day where the defense was calling some of their pressure

70
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: packages and they were getting heat on the quarterbacks today.

71
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,480
Speaker 1: There were a couple of tap out sacks. There were

72
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: also a bunch of tackles for loss in the run

73
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: game as well as the defensive front got some good penetration.

74
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: I do remember specifically Ed Oliver and Terrell Bernard, the

75
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,120
Speaker 1: rookie linebacker, getting tackles for loss, but there were some

76
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 1: sacks and pressures as well. There were interceptions too. Jordan

77
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:26,640
Speaker 1: Poyer got an interception off a tip pass down by

78
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 1: the end zone. On a pass intended for Gabe Davis,

79
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:30,920
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde tipped it up in the air. This was

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:33,919
Speaker 1: before he got injured, and Jordan Poyer swooped in to

81
00:04:33,960 --> 00:04:36,839
Speaker 1: come up with the interception. Damar Hamlin had an interception

82
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 1: later in practice, and as we mentioned, the play that

83
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:42,880
Speaker 1: Micah Hyde got injured on was also an interception by

84
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: number twenty three. The other thing that I want to

85
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,239
Speaker 1: note here, Isaiah McKenzie, I tweeted yesterday in my daily

86
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 1: observations to me, has been the most consistent player in camp.

87
00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: That continued again today. Another strong day for Isaiah McKenzie

88
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. With this offense, he has been giving

89
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: Taren Johnson fits in coverage. He continually gets separation on

90
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: a consistent basis, and as you have heard me and

91
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:15,880
Speaker 1: Steve say time and again, Taren Johnson is a top

92
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,479
Speaker 1: five nickel cornerback in this league, but he is having

93
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:22,600
Speaker 1: trouble hanging with Isaiah McKenzie. Now, as we've said umpteen

94
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,960
Speaker 1: number of times, the pads are not on yet, so

95
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: when they do go on, the game changes a little bit.

96
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: Taren Johnson can be more physical with Isaiah McKenzie at

97
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. We'll see if Isaiah is as

98
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 1: successful once the pads go on to get off of

99
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,720
Speaker 1: press coverage and still get the desired separation. But it

100
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: is to a point now where Josh is almost looking

101
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 1: to him as his safety valve option. You can see

102
00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,440
Speaker 1: him going through his progressions and he comes back to

103
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie in a hurry because I think he knows

104
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 1: then on almost every play he's going to be open

105
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 1: and away from his defender. Who did we used to

106
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: say that about or who did the players on offense

107
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: used to say that about Cold Easley? Every play he's open.

108
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie is filling that bill in a big way,

109
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: and he has taken full advantage of Jamison Crowder's absence.

110
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder missed yet another day of practice. He's over

111
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: on the stationary bike, he's doing stuff on the agility ladder,

112
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: but beyond that, he is not practicing. And Isaiah McKenzie

113
00:06:28,160 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 1: has put a stranglehold on that slot receiver spot and

114
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,680
Speaker 1: he has lived up to the billing. We saw our

115
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,920
Speaker 1: first two minute drill of training camp so far, and

116
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: it was kind of thrown in there. At the very

117
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: end of practice, Josh Allen led the first team offense

118
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: down the field. I think they had about one forty

119
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: two and change left on the clock. We're not in

120
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:52,039
Speaker 1: the offensive huddle with the coaches, so we don't know

121
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:55,480
Speaker 1: how many timeouts they were allotted. But they were basically

122
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: just over midfield, so plenty of time to work the

123
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:03,239
Speaker 1: ball into this oring territory, which they did, and after

124
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:06,239
Speaker 1: a penalty I think it was on fourth and goal

125
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: from the five, the defense had a penalty. It led

126
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 1: to a fresh set of downs first and goal, and

127
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,760
Speaker 1: on second and goal, Josh Allen on a keeper ran

128
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:18,960
Speaker 1: it in to get a touchdown for the offense right

129
00:07:19,160 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: at the close of practice. So those are kind of

130
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: my thoughts basically on what went on. In case you

131
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,880
Speaker 1: wonder where Steve is, Steve's catching up with his folks

132
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 1: ninety one and ninety two years young out in Kansas.

133
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 1: It was. It was a meetup that was supposed to

134
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:37,400
Speaker 1: happen a couple of weeks ago but got delayed by COVID.

135
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: Everybody's okay, though, So you're just getting out there to say, hey,

136
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 1: how you doing. And then Steve will be back on

137
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Monday for Monday Show. When we're right back here at

138
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 1: training camp. Good show coming up for you today, coming

139
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: up at the bottom of the hour. Oh and about

140
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,920
Speaker 1: twenty two twenty three minutes or so, you're gonna have

141
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 1: defensive tackle Jordan Phillips join us and he's gonna have

142
00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 1: his daughter here with us. Also, his young two year

143
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,480
Speaker 1: old Maya will be joining us here. So we look

144
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: forward to talking to j Jordan really happy to be

145
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 1: back in a Bill's uniform, and we'll have some interesting

146
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: things to say, not only about how he always envisioned

147
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:17,000
Speaker 1: him coming back to Buffalo and playing for the Bills,

148
00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: even after he left for Arizona for the big money,

149
00:08:20,120 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 1: but how this d line is coming together up front,

150
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,920
Speaker 1: the success they had on the practice field today, So

151
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 1: be sure to hang around for that. Jordan Phillips coming

152
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: up in about twenty two minutes or so. On the Show,

153
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 1: Bills Special Teams quarter coordinator Matthew Smiley addressed the media.

154
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:40,120
Speaker 1: This is the first time he's done that at training camp,

155
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,600
Speaker 1: second time he's done it overall. When he got promoted

156
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 1: to the position. We got a chance to talk to

157
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:48,120
Speaker 1: him back in the spring, and naturally he was asked

158
00:08:48,120 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 1: about the punning competition. He was also asked about the

159
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: return game, where the thing that has surprised me the

160
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 1: most is typically in training camp you'll see oh, I

161
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:03,440
Speaker 1: don't know, maybe two to three candidates rotating through four

162
00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:06,560
Speaker 1: at the most, rotating through taking raps either on kick

163
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: return or punt return. Not today, but the other day

164
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 1: I saw upwards of six players back there. So it's

165
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: very clear to me that Matthew Smiley is fine experimenting

166
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: with a big pool of candidates here early in camp.

167
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: And I asked him today, when do you think you're

168
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:24,600
Speaker 1: gonna whittle that list down? Is it going to come

169
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:27,839
Speaker 1: down to preseason games for you to make those kinds

170
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: of decisions evaluations and say, hey, you know, let's weed

171
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,640
Speaker 1: these guys out. These are our final three that we're

172
00:09:34,679 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: going to consider for return duty. So he said that

173
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: sometimes it will last until preseason games. But it's tricky

174
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: for special teams coaches because they're responsible for so many

175
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,560
Speaker 1: different players from the offense, from the defense, and when

176
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: you haven't expanded roster like you do in the preseason

177
00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:54,600
Speaker 1: with ninety guys strong, just finding which way is up

178
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: and making sure you got eleven on the field is

179
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: a task in and of itself. And then he explained

180
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: certain situa, you're all excited to get this punt return

181
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: candidates and opportunities, and the opposing punter is hanging it

182
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:06,599
Speaker 1: high in the air and he's got to take a

183
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: fair catch and he can't get to evaluate him because

184
00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: all he's doing is catching the football. So it'll be

185
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,000
Speaker 1: a process. But I do think with all the candidates

186
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: that are in the mix right now, it is going

187
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:19,440
Speaker 1: to take probably a preseason game or two before you

188
00:10:19,480 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: see it get down to one or two finalists for

189
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:27,320
Speaker 1: punt return duties and kick return duties. Interesting thing that

190
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: we did see was it's a lot of the younger

191
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: players that are in the mix for return duties along

192
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 1: with some of the usual suspects like Speedy Stevenson, who

193
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:39,920
Speaker 1: did some of that late last season, particularly in the

194
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving Day game down in New Orleans when he got

195
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: to play in front of his hometown fans and family

196
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:48,679
Speaker 1: as he is a Louisiana native. Another observation I want

197
00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:54,360
Speaker 1: to make is regarding Treddavious White. Treddavious has been working

198
00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 1: hard on the bike and people see that, but he

199
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: goes over on the other grass field with the trainers,

200
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: and I know some of our media members here that

201
00:11:02,240 --> 00:11:04,199
Speaker 1: have covered practice took some time to go over there

202
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: and film some of that, and he is doing like

203
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 1: explosion leaps off his good leg off his surgically repaired

204
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: leg looked very very strong. I will say the difference

205
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: because we've talked about boogie bash him and the difference

206
00:11:18,640 --> 00:11:21,359
Speaker 1: in his body composition through the course of this offseason.

207
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: I feel like Greg Rousseau has added some lean muscle

208
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 1: mass to his chest and shoulders as well. And we

209
00:11:28,280 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 1: were talking earlier in the week about how Gabe Davis

210
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: added five more pounds of lean muscle mass and he's

211
00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: up to two hundred and twenty pounds already. You can

212
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: say the same for Trudavious White. This is as jacked

213
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: as I have ever seen his upper body in my

214
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:46,000
Speaker 1: entire life. We all know Trdavious he's a narrow framed athlete,

215
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 1: strong but narrow framed. He has added some definite bulk

216
00:11:51,280 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: to his arms, his shoulders, his chest, all through his

217
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Speaker 1: upper body, which should make him stronger in press coverage

218
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 1: at the line of scrimmage because and the reason you

219
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: know it is because he's out there, you know, going sleeveless,

220
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 1: you know, suns out, guns out mode, and it's impressive.

221
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,600
Speaker 1: He is all kinds of ripped up. Another person we're

222
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: going to hear from today is Matt Ariza, the rookie

223
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: punter aka the punk God. As we know, he's in

224
00:12:17,280 --> 00:12:20,840
Speaker 1: the competition with Matt Hawk, and Coach Smiley actually addressed

225
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:25,200
Speaker 1: this competition from this standpoint. He was expressing how proud

226
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 1: he was of the veteran Matt Hawk, knowing he's in

227
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 1: a full blown competition with the rookie Araiza. Even when

228
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:36,640
Speaker 1: Matt Ariza has asked Matt Hawk questions, he has answered them.

229
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 1: So even though it's a cutthrow league and he's being

230
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 1: asked a question by the guy he's competing against for

231
00:12:43,520 --> 00:12:45,680
Speaker 1: the only job that's going to exist here in Buffalo

232
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: for punter, he is still giving him good quality answers,

233
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,880
Speaker 1: as a true mentor would so. Coach Smiley was tipping

234
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,480
Speaker 1: his hat to Matt Hawk on that. I think Hawk

235
00:12:55,559 --> 00:12:59,240
Speaker 1: has had a couple of good days so far. Arise's

236
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: first day of punting a little bit of a mixed bag,

237
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: had some bad punts early, probably some nerves. Probably wanted

238
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 1: to shake those off then hit some boomers. I think

239
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:12,480
Speaker 1: the key here is going to be finding a happy

240
00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,000
Speaker 1: medium between distance and hang time, because everybody gets all

241
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: excited about seeing an eighty one yard punt, but if

242
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:20,319
Speaker 1: it's got three and a half to three point eight

243
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,600
Speaker 1: seconds to hang time, that's going to give the return

244
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 1: man a ton of time to run up the field

245
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 1: before he even engages with a defender. So it's something

246
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on as we move through the

247
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 1: next few stages of training camp here, but we wanted

248
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 1: to give you an opportunity to hear from the rookie punter,

249
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: Matt Ariza. He spoke to the media after practice today.

250
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 1: So here is Buffalo's rookie punter. My first training camp

251
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: is awesome. I've won a distance I was a kid,

252
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: so I'm just really grateful I'm here. It's pretty much

253
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 1: what I've expected. I think the amount of fans definitely

254
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,320
Speaker 1: caught me off guard. There's been more fans of some

255
00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,720
Speaker 1: of these practices than at home games my senior years,

256
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,680
Speaker 1: so that was a little bit of a surprise. Yeah,

257
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 1: everyone talked about me with expectations for the How have

258
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:12,240
Speaker 1: you felt you've dealt with you know, there's high expectations

259
00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: I could play Delba builds. Yeah, I've been asked a

260
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: couple of times, and I think the truest answer for

261
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: me is is that a lot of that's coming from

262
00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: the fans. But I was the fourth specialist drafted, and

263
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 1: I believe I'm the only one that's still competing for

264
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: a job. So for me, this year is more about

265
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: proving people wrong and proving people right. I don't feel

266
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,320
Speaker 1: a great burden to go out there improve people right.

267
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I'm trying to prove that, UM I was the best

268
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: specialist in the draft being with this team about the tracks,

269
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,240
Speaker 1: M there's a lot more of a professional approach here

270
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: versus college. For example, we would we would kick four

271
00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: days a week in college, and it's not necessarily good

272
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 1: for you too, so we toned it back here. UM

273
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: we toned back some of the work in the weight room.

274
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:00,200
Speaker 1: UM So I would just say it's a lot more

275
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 1: professional and more more kicker and specialist UM specialization work

276
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 1: stuff like that versus just being thrown into the team

277
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:17,600
Speaker 1: lifts and being thrown into the team runs in his

278
00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 1: career to Yeah, I think it's just about maturing as

279
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: a specialist. UM. I can be sometimes a little bit

280
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,360
Speaker 1: of a meat head in the weight room, and Tyler's

281
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,400
Speaker 1: been on me about that, about Tony a back and

282
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:38,600
Speaker 1: just realizing that my one job is to go out

283
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,280
Speaker 1: there and perform as a punter. How I lift in

284
00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: the weight room, doesn't you know it's not gonna earn

285
00:15:43,040 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: me the job. It's not gonna help the seam win games.

286
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: So um, it's definitely been good having the veteran guys

287
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: around me to help kind of show me the way.

288
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's what he said, but he's

289
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 1: on me a little bit about, you know, going to

290
00:15:57,240 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: heavy on days we lift or stuff like that. You know,

291
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 1: you're not in college with the guy who get banging

292
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 1: one hundred yards? What have they told you about that

293
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: in the NFL? Because you know that you can't just

294
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: bang it down the field. So what have they've been

295
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,280
Speaker 1: telling you? Eatings and all? You maybe have to alter

296
00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 1: your approach you get more than handing. Yeah, so you

297
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 1: you kind of want to take a little bit shorter steps.

298
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 1: The longer you go, you hit more line drives. That

299
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: makes a little bit of sense. But then the other

300
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 1: thing is is a sixty forty ball. I didn't hear

301
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 1: that phrase until here, and it's when the line of

302
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 1: scrimmage is at the forty or behind. It's called a

303
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: sixty forty ball. Because you grow sixty, you net forty.

304
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: And that's something I've been told that every punter in

305
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the league is okay with taking. So there's times when

306
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,640
Speaker 1: touchbacks are okay, contrary to what everyone seems to think,

307
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 1: but there is the adjustment of getting more hang time

308
00:16:50,520 --> 00:16:53,480
Speaker 1: and being more of a pro style punter. That means

309
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:56,720
Speaker 1: if you're on your own thirty nine hunt, if the

310
00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:02,600
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, you're own thirty nine back all right

311
00:17:02,640 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: because it's an AT forty one right, Yeah, yeah, I

312
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: got it. The holding has been going great. Um, I

313
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 1: have you know, some great guys ahead of me showing

314
00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: me the way. We get a lot of work on

315
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:16,360
Speaker 1: the judge machine stuff like that, and uh, my experience

316
00:17:16,359 --> 00:17:18,360
Speaker 1: as a kicker has helped because I know what they

317
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 1: want and stuff like that. Yeah, so I'm happy with

318
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: how that's going. Alan to San Diego State. When you're practice,

319
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: saying during practice, is every pun I call a situation

320
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 1: call like it is here? Um, I wouldn't say necessarily

321
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: a situation call. Um, most of our call in college

322
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,640
Speaker 1: was on the protection, um and who we were picking

323
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: up and who we were letting letting free. Um, we

324
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: do a lot more situation work here when it's just

325
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:48,040
Speaker 1: the specialist and coach Smiley, which which I liked that

326
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:53,560
Speaker 1: a lot, Like what what do you look for that

327
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: you know be like the firstand experience of knowing how

328
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: the whold effects the field goal, and how you know

329
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: a bad hold can negatively affect a field goal. I

330
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:09,400
Speaker 1: would say the destins for college to hear what has

331
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: surprised you the most of you know, obviously it's a

332
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: big jump to the NFL. I'm like, oh, I wasn't

333
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: thinking this would be something. I know, it's be honest

334
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,679
Speaker 1: with you, not too much. I think, Um, we do

335
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,080
Speaker 1: a great job and make a sure roll on the

336
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 1: same page. And I think because of that kind of

337
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 1: I'm not really caught off guard by anything. That Matt

338
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: has been doing a great job of helping you. To

339
00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 1: have an older guy in the room help you, even

340
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 1: though it's been awesome, I think it just shows his character. Um,

341
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 1: A lot of people would rather just mind their own

342
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 1: business try and win the job. But the fact that

343
00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 1: he's an open book and I can go ask him questions,

344
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: I think is a huge help to me. And like

345
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: I said, it shows his character. Do you like about

346
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 1: being in Buffalo Century? They're for working camp, but a

347
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: mini cam. You spend some time There'll like My favorite

348
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: thing is the is the people I can kind of

349
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: tell a little bit of a difference between the people

350
00:19:07,800 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: here in southern California. That people are a lot nicer,

351
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: a lot more outgoing than the wings. Yeah there's a

352
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:18,320
Speaker 1: wing spot close to where the rookies have been staying.

353
00:19:18,400 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: And yeah, I've been there a lot. We'll say that. Yeah,

354
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 1: all right. So that's Matt Orisa addressing the media this

355
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:32,400
Speaker 1: afternoon after practice. And apparently the guy's hitting a little

356
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: too hard in the weight room, and Tyler bats is like,

357
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: whoa back off, buddy. So I don't know, but I

358
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 1: guess he benches pretty good or squats a lot. And

359
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:44,160
Speaker 1: Tyler bass Is like, hey, they want to ease off

360
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 1: the iron. That's not what's gonna help you make the team.

361
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: So matt Oriza learning the ropes a little bit. And

362
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: the interesting thing you heard him. You hadn't asked questions

363
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: about the holding thing, because it's been a big deal

364
00:19:55,600 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 1: since the spring, when it was learned that matt Ariza

365
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,880
Speaker 1: really doesn't have or came to the Bills without much

366
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 1: experience as a holder. We've had Steve Tasker talk about

367
00:20:05,440 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 1: it here on the show because he actually was the

368
00:20:09,080 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 1: backup holder for the Bills as a player, and what

369
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:16,159
Speaker 1: he essentially said was it's not as difficult a task

370
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: as you might imagine. All you need is practice and

371
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: you can get good at it. And I will say

372
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: in watching Ariza out here, he's done fine. And what

373
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: the coaching staff is doing Special Teams Coordinator Matt Smiley

374
00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: is doing is he's having him and Hawk rotate every

375
00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,879
Speaker 1: other day as the holder for Tyler bass on kicks.

376
00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: One day arises the holder, the next day it's Hawk

377
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 1: who's the holder. So they're rotating them in and out

378
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:47,760
Speaker 1: as that's every bit of part of the punter competition

379
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:51,960
Speaker 1: as the actual punting is today, I fail to mention this.

380
00:20:52,040 --> 00:20:54,800
Speaker 1: At the top of the show is the OBL Friday

381
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,399
Speaker 1: fan mail bag. So any questions you have about the team,

382
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,280
Speaker 1: the league at large, fire them off. You can hit

383
00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,360
Speaker 1: us up at one bills Live, or he can give

384
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 1: us a call. Eight oh three oh five fifty one

385
00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty the number to

386
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: get on board. Got open lines for you. When we

387
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,800
Speaker 1: are going to go to the phones now, And who

388
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:13,840
Speaker 1: do we have leading us off here? It's Anthony and

389
00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: Ken Moore? And is he up here? I got this

390
00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:22,439
Speaker 1: delay when we're out here at the facility and I

391
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: cannot punch him up right now, so if somebody back

392
00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 1: at the studio could help me out, that would be great,

393
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: so we can get Anthony on the show. I'll try

394
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: one more time, all right, it's not working. All right.

395
00:21:35,840 --> 00:21:37,560
Speaker 1: We'll check back in with Anthony in a second here

396
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: once we get that straightened out. Anthony, along with the

397
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 1: other questions that we have on the tweet sheet, come

398
00:21:46,320 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 1: to us, and we will lead off here with Lee

399
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 1: from the fan mail back, who asks when Aaron Cromer

400
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 1: was here before he used Incognito as that nasty get

401
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:58,960
Speaker 1: around the edge due to his physicality, like a human

402
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: wrecking ball in the run game. That's a run on sentence.

403
00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:05,680
Speaker 1: Who do you see having that kind of nastiest nastiness

404
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: on our own line now that can be used like that.

405
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:15,320
Speaker 1: I don't know if they've got like John Feliciano used

406
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,720
Speaker 1: to be nasty like that, kind of like Incognito. Obviously

407
00:22:18,760 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: he is with the Giants now. I think that's to

408
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: be determined. And one of the main reasons is we

409
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:29,800
Speaker 1: haven't had the five starting linemen on the field, or

410
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: at least the projected five starting linemen on the field

411
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: once during training camp to this point, and as I

412
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:38,119
Speaker 1: mentioned at the top of the show, only one of

413
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:40,680
Speaker 1: the projected starting offensive lineman was on the field of

414
00:22:40,760 --> 00:22:45,159
Speaker 1: practice today, in Mitch Morse, I would say, attitude, guys,

415
00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,840
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, when he gets fired up, he can wreck people.

416
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: So the thing there is his season. Last year, he

417
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: gets COVID at the beginning of the year, he gets

418
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: COVID a second time during the season, he comes back

419
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,520
Speaker 1: the last six weeks, and he was a wrecking crew.

420
00:23:02,720 --> 00:23:06,720
Speaker 1: He was a human wrecking ball. I distinctly remember sitting

421
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: in the video room with our videographers one day and

422
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: we were watching this block that Dion threw out on

423
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: the edge on a wide running play outside don't running play,

424
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: and Dion took a linebacker and knocked him completely out

425
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,439
Speaker 1: of the camera shot over the sideline. The guy was

426
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 1: on his back. I mean, the first thing that hit

427
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:30,080
Speaker 1: the ground was his shoulder blades. So if you're gonna

428
00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 1: ask me to pick somebody with that kind of nastiness,

429
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: I would say, when Dion Dawkins is in the right

430
00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: frame of mind, he can wreck people in that fashion.

431
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll reserve judgment on everybody else because the pads haven't

432
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 1: been on yet, and it's really hard for a lineman

433
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: to exert their nastiness I guess, for lack of a

434
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: better term, lee than when the pads are on. So

435
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:54,199
Speaker 1: I think when they go on tomorrow we'll start to

436
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:56,399
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of that be able to

437
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: make a little bit better evaluation. From Bill's twelve to

438
00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 1: eighty three, what's your take on Gabe Davis? Seeing the

439
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:06,080
Speaker 1: work he's put in during the offseason and the increase

440
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: in targets that he is going to get, I think

441
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:12,120
Speaker 1: a big time breakout year is coming. I would agree

442
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 1: Gabe's best day was probably two days ago Wednesday, when

443
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: he had a couple of touchdowns, but he's made plays

444
00:24:20,119 --> 00:24:23,960
Speaker 1: pretty consistently through the course of training camp. I would

445
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:29,040
Speaker 1: argue that Isaiah McKenzie has been more consistent by a

446
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,239
Speaker 1: small margin, but more consistent. But yes, Davis has had

447
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,439
Speaker 1: a good camp to this point. He has put the

448
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: work in. As Steve and I were discussing on the

449
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:38,960
Speaker 1: show earlier this week, he is now up to two

450
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:42,159
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight pounds and you wouldn't know it

451
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:44,040
Speaker 1: looking at him because it doesn't look like there's an

452
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:47,120
Speaker 1: ounce of fat on him. But I think he has

453
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: put in extra work this offseason knowing the role that

454
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: he was going to be inheriting as the number two

455
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:58,640
Speaker 1: receiver with Emmanuel Sanders and Cole Beasley no longer on

456
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,680
Speaker 1: this roster. So a breakout, yeah, yeah, it's very much

457
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: in the cards. I think the only thing that could

458
00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,880
Speaker 1: get in the way of that is if Ken Dorsey's

459
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: approach on offense is too truly spread the ball around

460
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: to a multitude of targets. That could maybe keep his

461
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: production numbers down slightly, But I don't think they'll be

462
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,560
Speaker 1: down lower than where they were the first two years

463
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:21,920
Speaker 1: when he was essentially the fourth receiver in this offense.

464
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:26,719
Speaker 1: ED asks who's going to be the biggest surprise in

465
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:29,360
Speaker 1: making this year's Bills team? Oh boy, I gotta pull

466
00:25:29,359 --> 00:25:33,159
Speaker 1: out my roster for that one. That is a tricky one.

467
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:37,439
Speaker 1: Let me run down the list real quick surprise to

468
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:43,679
Speaker 1: make the roster? Do I want to pick a receiver here? No,

469
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 1: I kind of. I want to lean defensive back here,

470
00:25:48,119 --> 00:25:51,880
Speaker 1: And I wonder if one of these corners or one

471
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,880
Speaker 1: of the reserve safety can They're not going to keep

472
00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: five safeties. So it's been Jikwan Johnson and DeMar Hamlin

473
00:25:57,800 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 1: as the backup safeties with Josh Thomas sitting on the

474
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: practice squad. Is this the year that he makes the

475
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 1: active roster. I don't know, And the reason why is

476
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,280
Speaker 1: because I think the guy that makes the roster is

477
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 1: Nick McLeod due to position flexibility. We've seen him line

478
00:26:15,280 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 1: up at both corner and debt safety. We had Brandon

479
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:21,199
Speaker 1: being on the show the first day of camp and

480
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:26,240
Speaker 1: Brandon even said they think long range his true best

481
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: position might be the safety spot full time. Right now,

482
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: he's a corner safety flex but I think if he

483
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: continues to show progress, he could very well make this

484
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:42,800
Speaker 1: roster outright come September. We have another one here from Jack.

485
00:26:43,200 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: Jack says, with a lot of guys missing practice on

486
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: the offensive line this week, who has looked the best

487
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:52,520
Speaker 1: with the vacant reps how is Luke Tanuda and Alec

488
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 1: Anderson faired. Anderson had a nice career at UCLA and

489
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 1: a fast paced offense with Chip Kelly, and his personality

490
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: would seem to make him a fan favorite. I gotta

491
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: say this, I like Alec Anderson's game a lot. When

492
00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:06,960
Speaker 1: they signed him as an undrafted rookie, I went back

493
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:10,000
Speaker 1: and watched some of his tape. He played right tackle

494
00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,400
Speaker 1: at UCLA. The other kid that played left tackle got drafted,

495
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 1: and I liked him a lot too. Didn't have the

496
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: ideal body type for a left tackle, but played it

497
00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: well and may even project to a guard tackle. But anyway,

498
00:27:21,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: Alec Anderson, I think it's done pretty well through this

499
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: first week of camp. Good feat. I like the way

500
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 1: he redirects and changes direction. You know, when a pass

501
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: rusher hits him with a counter move, he mirrors very effectively,

502
00:27:36,359 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 1: So I like what I've seen in the early going. Again,

503
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: pads aren't on yet, so to really judge the physicality

504
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: of each of these players is a difficult thing, but

505
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: I do like Alec Anderson to Nuda. For me, I

506
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,639
Speaker 1: think is good as a run blocker. I know in

507
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 1: some one on one pass rush drills he's had some

508
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: good reps and some not so good reps, so I

509
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: think there's a learning curve there for Luke Tanuda, who

510
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 1: is a long athlete and uses his length to steer

511
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 1: pass rushers around the pocket more than using his feet

512
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 1: and mirroring a guy. He relies on his length more

513
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: than anything else. Other than that lineman that I've liked

514
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: thus far. I liked what Greg Mans has done at

515
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,399
Speaker 1: the guard in the center position. He was running the

516
00:28:24,480 --> 00:28:27,440
Speaker 1: veteran free agent signees back in the spring. I think

517
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 1: he's held up pretty well all things considered, and I

518
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:35,000
Speaker 1: think I would say Kessenberry has done a nice job

519
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 1: as well. He's played in three different positions through the

520
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 1: first week. He's played at left tackle, he's played at

521
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 1: right tackle, and he's played at guard, and he's handled

522
00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 1: them all capably thus far. So those would be my

523
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: votes for what you're looking for there, Jack. We have

524
00:28:49,480 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: to take a break here, but when we come back,

525
00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: we're going to be joined by Bill's defensive tackle Jordan Phillips,

526
00:28:55,400 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 1: happy as a clam to be back in Buffalo after

527
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: the last two years in Arizona. We'll talk to him

528
00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:03,480
Speaker 1: about his transition back to the Bills next. Here on

529
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,840

00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,240
Speaker 1: killing it. I saw you running up here. You got

537
00:29:43,280 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: some quicks, might even be quicker than your dad. How

538
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: are you doing, Jordan. It's good to have you back, man,

539

Speaker 1: it's funny. Good to have you back. It's nice to

540
00:29:51,160 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: be back. It's a different feeling out here. Nice, nice

541
00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: to being a football city. Yeah, I know you. You

542
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: called it a family atmosphere here, maybe more than anywhere

543
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: else you have ever played competitive football, maybe with the

544
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,959
Speaker 1: exception of that little team that you played on when

545
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,640
Speaker 1: you were younger, with it going fifty five and two

546
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,840
Speaker 1: or something. Yeah. Yeah, we're starts back in the day,

547
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: back in the pop warner. I was a good time too. Yeah.

548
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: But what what can you say about what makes it

549
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: feel like family here? I mean, just like this, having

550
00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: my daughter up here. Everybody comes up, says high tour.

551
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: You know, coach welcomes, welcomes your family, he goes, he

552
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: goes off of his way to meet everybody. All the

553
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: coaches do, even the our teammates say. Everybody's around, everybody

554
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: wants to meet everybody's kids and everything. So it's a

555
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: good time, and I want to kind of tell our

556
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: listeners a story because last year, Bills are in Kansas City,

557
00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 1: it's a divisional playoff. I'm hanging out in the hotel

558
00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,240
Speaker 1: lobby day before the game, and some big fellow walks in,

559
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:55,040
Speaker 1: decked out in a Star latool, a jersey and all

560
00:30:55,160 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: kinds of Bills gear and it's you. Yeah, and I

561
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: knew you. I knew you were a Kansas guy, so

562
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: I figured, you know, it might be in town maybe,

563
00:31:03,080 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 1: But man, you popped in. You're saying hi to everybody.

564
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,600
Speaker 1: You saw a Star who came back from grabbing himself

565
00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: a meal. Why did you have to be there for

566
00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:14,760
Speaker 1: those guys? Well, I was it important to you? I

567
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,480
Speaker 1: mean it was just a big moment. I felt like

568
00:31:16,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: in Uh, I want to say, Bill's hisstory, you know, yeah,

569
00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: you wouldn't be wrong, just part of just part of

570
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,400
Speaker 1: hearing when Sharlique first came in and he was talking

571
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: about playing inn AFC Championship games and big games and

572
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,560
Speaker 1: in December and everything from January when was up. It

573
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:38,160
Speaker 1: was January. Yeah, so in January and then uh, just

574
00:31:38,280 --> 00:31:39,880
Speaker 1: being able to go support Star and the rest of

575
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 1: the guys. It was it was just right down the road.

576
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't I go? You know, right? And uh, I

577
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: know Steve Tasker is upset he's not here because he

578
00:31:47,080 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: is too a Kansas native, he's out from southwest Kansas. Um.

579
00:31:51,040 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: But in any event, did that kind of get your

580
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: wheels turning? Knowing what could happen in Arizona with respect

581
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 1: to your contract and like, hang, you know there might

582
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 1: be a situation here where I might be free again. Yeah,

583
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 1: where the wheels already kind of turning in your head

584
00:32:06,960 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 1: a little bit, even if it wasn't reality yet. Uh,

585
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: this was I'm not going to speak on that, but

586
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: this is the place I wanted to be, and I

587
00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:17,040
Speaker 1: knew I would end up here back here one way

588
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 1: or another. Okay, fair enough, Um, what can you I

589
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you this ever since the game happened,

590
00:32:26,280 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: But twenty twenty, you're in Arizona. You're on the right

591
00:32:29,400 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 1: side of the hill Murray game. Yes, and this team

592
00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: wasn't have you got have you talked to that about,

593
00:32:34,440 --> 00:32:36,560
Speaker 1: talked about with your teammates at all about that game?

594
00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:38,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's past history and the past

595
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,360
Speaker 1: is in the past, but it was it was interesting

596
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,000
Speaker 1: because really when you think about it, that was kind

597
00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: of a high water mark for that Arizona team that year,

598
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: and you look at what happened to the Bills at

599
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: such a low point. They kind of won their last

600
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:58,240
Speaker 1: six after that went Roland. For us, it was I

601
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,080
Speaker 1: felt like it was a big game over there. Yeah,

602
00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:03,960
Speaker 1: and we were rolling and then after that we just

603
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: kind of fell apart. But um, I did talk to

604
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: the guys about it. I hung out with all of

605
00:33:09,480 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: them in the off season, so we talked about it

606
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: and it was fun. I still give them crap about it,

607
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:20,600
Speaker 1: but yeah, why does this defense and the system that

608
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:23,320
Speaker 1: they play, especially what they ask you guys up front,

609
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: why do you think it fits your game so well?

610
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: Because you've you know, coach always talks about being the

611
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: best version of yourself on this team you were in

612
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Why is it such a good fit for

613
00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:37,400
Speaker 1: you and your strength? Uh, it doesn't really have to

614
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,320
Speaker 1: do with anything football wise. Honestly, they show the utmost

615
00:33:41,360 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: confidence in me and the rest of us as well,

616
00:33:44,200 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: and they just let us play. There's not a bunch

617
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:49,120
Speaker 1: of thinking. You just do what you do and if

618
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,040
Speaker 1: you do it, you're you're praised. If you don't you know,

619
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:52,719
Speaker 1: next man in. So you got to be on your

620
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 1: your p's and q's and that's a fun system to player.

621
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: You guys were calling up some pressures today and you know,

622
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:01,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure the alignment to tell you, well, we're down bodies,

623
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:05,280
Speaker 1: you know, no Dion, no Roger or all those cats. Um,

624
00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:08,200
Speaker 1: it's looking good here in the early going though. You

625
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 1: guys are getting upfields, you're getting in the backfield, you're

626
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: you're tapping out running backs, TFLs. Do you feel like

627
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: the chemistry is already backed? Was it like just getting

628
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 1: back on a bike for you? Or uh, we'll see

629
00:34:20,600 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: you tomorrow. You know, the pass come on him? Right,

630
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:26,360
Speaker 1: that's a lot of guys. Uh, a lot of guys

631
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 1: changed when when the paths come on. So we'll see,

632
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: we'll see what happens. Okay, that's fair. Uh. Ed, how

633
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 1: is he different now than what you played alongside of

634
00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:41,319
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen? Athleticism? I say he's more athletic than

635
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,160
Speaker 1: he was as a rookie. And his the way he thinks,

636
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,160
Speaker 1: the way he goes about his business, I haven't seen

637
00:34:47,200 --> 00:34:50,840
Speaker 1: anything like it. Uh. When you say someone has truly

638
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,319
Speaker 1: one speed, he only has one speed. He's on our

639
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 1: walkthroughs at the end of the day with cleats on

640
00:34:55,120 --> 00:34:57,680
Speaker 1: going full speed. You know. So it's it's a it's

641
00:34:57,719 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 1: a it's amazing to see him work and it's not

642
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,680
Speaker 1: a one day thing. He's consistent, he works hard, and

643
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:06,239
Speaker 1: he's I see big things from him this year. He's

644
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,239
Speaker 1: got extra energy to even pull off some dance moves

645
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 1: on the sideline. Is that so, what do you think

646
00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: makes him more athletic? Is that just more training or

647
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,120
Speaker 1: is he playing faster because he knows more about the

648
00:35:17,200 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 1: game than I think with him last I think that's

649
00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:21,439
Speaker 1: what it is. He's so much smarter than not saying

650
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 1: he was, you know, not smart. I'm saying he's evolved

651
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:27,720
Speaker 1: as a as a mental player and a that's wonderful

652
00:35:27,760 --> 00:35:30,759
Speaker 1: to see his growth. The big fellas that came in

653
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 1: here along with you, da Quon and Tim Settle, I

654
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:39,000
Speaker 1: would argue nothing against the previous iteration of the defensive

655
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: line groups that have been here the last couple of seasons,

656
00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: but it just even though it is a group of

657
00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:48,399
Speaker 1: big men, I would argue this contingent of big men

658
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 1: is more athletic than some of the previous versions in

659
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:55,640
Speaker 1: previous years. How do you think that helps this defense

660
00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: more going forward? We're just versatile. Anybody can play anywhere

661
00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 1: from the one to three to five, or the nine

662
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 1: or the six. And I think that gives coaching a

663
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: lot of confidence to be able to say, hey, roll

664
00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,160
Speaker 1: it in, roll it out, and and he knows the

665
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:16,800
Speaker 1: job's gonna get done. Is there. I'm trying to envision

666
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,040
Speaker 1: being an opposing offensive line against this group, and I'm

667
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, who the hell do you double? Like?

668
00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: You want to double Vaughan? You got you gotta give

669
00:36:24,680 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: You're singled up then or ed singled up, you know,

670
00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: you know, du double the young kid Greg on the

671
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 1: other side or whatever. I mean. I don't like this,

672
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,279
Speaker 1: So I don't like the solutions you got to try

673
00:36:34,320 --> 00:36:36,239
Speaker 1: to come up with for your front four. I think

674
00:36:36,239 --> 00:36:37,920
Speaker 1: we'll see a lot of chips, a lot of uh,

675
00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: a lot of max protection. But yeah, uh, you know

676
00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,440
Speaker 1: that that just helps the secondary, you know what I mean.

677
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:47,759
Speaker 1: So it doesn't matter what puts us out, what puts

678
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: us out there, as long as we win. Yeah, I agree.

679
00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 1: And we had Coach Fraser on the other day. He's

680
00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:55,719
Speaker 1: already excited about how much more split safety. He's gonna

681
00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,520
Speaker 1: be able to play because he can leave seven in

682
00:36:57,560 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 1: the box and he's good against the run now because

683
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 1: you know, I know you kept your ear to the

684
00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:03,239
Speaker 1: ground with what was going on here in Buffalo, even

685
00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: when you weren't playing here. The Indie game and Jonathan

686
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 1: Taylor ripped off five touchdowns, they didn't have an answer, yea.

687
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:14,279
Speaker 1: Even that New England windswept game, which was ridiculous, they

688
00:37:14,520 --> 00:37:17,520
Speaker 1: couldn't get him out of running the ball. You, Tim,

689
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,120
Speaker 1: day Kwan, I think you're gonna have some answers this

690
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:21,920
Speaker 1: year for the run game, don't you think. Oh, you know,

691
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:23,560
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, it's a mindset. If

692
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:25,279
Speaker 1: we don't show up as we're gonna go back to

693
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: the same stuff. So's gonna put our heads down and

694
00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:31,080
Speaker 1: grind and we're gonna try our best to stop the run.

695
00:37:31,760 --> 00:37:34,520
Speaker 1: What has been your message to day Kuon and Tim?

696
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,000
Speaker 1: I mean, you've been here before and you know how

697
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:40,399
Speaker 1: this operation works, whether it's the rotational system that Coach

698
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:42,520
Speaker 1: Frasier puts you through to keep you guys all fresh,

699
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,400
Speaker 1: or you know, just the defense at large and the

700
00:37:46,480 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: camaraderie that you guys have. What's been your message for

701
00:37:49,560 --> 00:37:51,520
Speaker 1: those two coming in the door because they're still feeling

702
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: this thing out. I would think to a certain extent,

703
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 1: first and second down, do your job, third down, get sacks. Yeah,

704
00:37:57,160 --> 00:37:58,719
Speaker 1: that's it. That's only gonna said. You need to hear.

705
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 1: Just do your job and when it's your time, make

706
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: the play. And I don't know if you heard this,

707
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,399
Speaker 1: but Leslie when he was addressing the media the other day,

708
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 1: he believes you are capable of a double digit sac season.

709
00:38:09,800 --> 00:38:13,400
Speaker 1: You came within a hair of it in twenty nineteen.

710
00:38:14,520 --> 00:38:16,279
Speaker 1: How do you like your prospects? I mean, I know

711
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: you don't want to always put numbers on yourself. It's

712
00:38:18,360 --> 00:38:21,399
Speaker 1: a team game. But um, I think if I get

713
00:38:21,480 --> 00:38:23,680
Speaker 1: the chances to rush like I did in nineteen, I

714
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,759
Speaker 1: think we can do something special. Yeah, and and Ed

715
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: might have double digits right there with you? What was it?

716
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:34,800
Speaker 1: What was it? Jerry, Jerry, Mario, williars Jerry and Marcel

717
00:38:36,200 --> 00:38:41,600
Speaker 1: We'll see. Yeah. I like the sound of that. Is

718
00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:45,359
Speaker 1: there anything that sticks out most for you? And again,

719
00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't want you to dive into the past, but

720
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:50,840
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen was just a fun season. The game that

721
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,000
Speaker 1: was the most fun for me to be there, for

722
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:56,600
Speaker 1: was the Pittsburgh Sunday night game. That's when you guys

723
00:38:56,680 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 1: clinched the playoff Berth, you know, the whole renegade thing.

724
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:02,759
Speaker 1: It comes on and Josh dials up a deep ball

725
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 1: right after the song and just like, hey, put that

726
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:06,800
Speaker 1: in your pipe and smoke it. But I think you

727
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 1: had a big sack in that game, if I remember

728
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:11,759
Speaker 1: right too. What was there another game that stood out

729
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 1: for you more in twenty nineteen as that was kind

730
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:17,120
Speaker 1: of a coming of age season for that team, Um,

731
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:22,120
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen. Honestly, that was the That was the Houston game, right,

732
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:24,239
Speaker 1: the playoff? Yes, the Houston playoff game. And I think

733
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 1: that was the best thing that could ever happened to

734
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 1: the Bills. Why uh, it was just an iron opener.

735
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,360
Speaker 1: We we kind of folded in that second half. We

736
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:34,440
Speaker 1: were up six, you know, I believe yeah, And I

737
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: felt like that's when Josh Allen became Josh Allen. Oh okay,

738
00:39:38,680 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 1: And how might Josh be different? Now? I mean he's superstar.

739
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,879
Speaker 1: He's top five quarterback in the league, now top three.

740
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:46,839
Speaker 1: Some somebody even put him a little bit higher. Um

741
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 1: is Josh like he's kind of he kind of makes

742
00:39:52,280 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: this whole thing go because his his reach goes to

743
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,799
Speaker 1: the other side of the ball. It always has though

744
00:39:58,719 --> 00:40:02,200
Speaker 1: U can't defense wins games, you know, but you can't

745
00:40:02,200 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 1: win in this league without them without a stuck put back,

746
00:40:04,320 --> 00:40:07,239
Speaker 1: and that's the bottom one when you have. When you

747
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: have both, what else can you ask for? Yeah, that's awesome. Well, listen,

00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: camp here in the coming days, there will be a

768
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 1: sunscreen booth where you can get completely covered and protected

769
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:36,960
Speaker 1: because outside of a couple of the tents you're sitting

770
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 1: in this grandstand, there is no shade to be had,

771
00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: so make sure you either have sunscreen or you're covered

772
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,840
Speaker 1: up with a wide brim hat or something. Wanted to

773
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,840
Speaker 1: get to some NFL news and notes here in this

774
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,480
Speaker 1: segment before the top of the hour, when we're joined

775
00:41:51,480 --> 00:41:54,719
Speaker 1: by Bill's reporter Mattie glab And we'll begin with the

776
00:41:54,840 --> 00:42:01,480
Speaker 1: mess in Arizona concerning Kyler Murray. So first he signs

777
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,760
Speaker 1: the contract extension, then the media learns of a clause

778
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: in his contract that mandates that Murray have four hours

779
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: of independent study every week leading up to games. This

780
00:42:13,600 --> 00:42:17,839
Speaker 1: was interpreted as a mandate by the team to get

781
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:21,040
Speaker 1: Murray to study enough or more than he had been

782
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:25,560
Speaker 1: in the past to prepare for games. Murray sees these

783
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:29,600
Speaker 1: media reports and their interpretation of what the clause means.

784
00:42:30,320 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 1: He just shows up at the podium lectern and does

785
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: his own press conference in impromptu fashion. He wasn't scheduled.

786
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:41,600
Speaker 1: He showed up there during training camp and went on

787
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,239
Speaker 1: to explain how it's disrespectful of the media to make

788
00:42:45,320 --> 00:42:48,680
Speaker 1: insinuations that he was never prepared for games before, never

789
00:42:48,800 --> 00:42:51,680
Speaker 1: studied enough. He said, how could I get this far

790
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: in my career if I didn't study the game. That

791
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,000
Speaker 1: is followed by the Arizona Cardinals pulling the clause out

792
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,800
Speaker 1: of the contract copletely so they have apparently eliminated the

793
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:07,720
Speaker 1: mandatory independent study clause in Murray's extension. They also released

794
00:43:07,719 --> 00:43:10,680
Speaker 1: a statement that said, in part, after seeing the distraction

795
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: it created, we remove the addendum from the contract. It

796
00:43:14,680 --> 00:43:18,200
Speaker 1: was clearly perceived in ways that were never intended. Our

797
00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 1: confidence in Kyler Murray is as high as it's ever been,

798
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,680
Speaker 1: and nothing demonstrates our belief in his ability to lead

799
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: this team more than the commitment reflected in this contract.

800
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 1: While that may all be well and good, you're not

801
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 1: putting that clause in the contract unless you have some

802
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,640
Speaker 1: measure of doubt that the guy is not going to

803
00:43:35,680 --> 00:43:38,239
Speaker 1: put in the time necessary in the film room to

804
00:43:38,440 --> 00:43:41,800
Speaker 1: know every nook and cranny of the upcoming defense that

805
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: he is facing so they can say what they want.

806
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: The clause was in there for a reason. Now they

807
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:50,520
Speaker 1: pulled it out just as quickly as they put it in.

808
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,279
Speaker 1: But I don't think you're even contemplating putting that in

809
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: a contract. It is beyond uncommon. I've asked people in

810
00:44:00,040 --> 00:44:02,920
Speaker 1: this league, around the league that do these contracts, and

811
00:44:03,040 --> 00:44:07,680
Speaker 1: they say it is very uncommon, very uncommon. Two of

812
00:44:07,719 --> 00:44:09,440
Speaker 1: the four people I spoke to said they've never even

813
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: seen it before. So it was done for a reason.

814
00:44:13,920 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: Other news, dk metcalf, wide receiver for the Seahawks, signed

815
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:22,759
Speaker 1: a three year, seventy two million dollar extension, So he's

816
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:26,359
Speaker 1: obviously got a contract that's going to average twenty four

817
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 1: million a year. That puts him in a tie for

818
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:33,600
Speaker 1: seventh at the wide receiver position in terms of annual

819
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,120
Speaker 1: average value. Average annual value of the contract at twenty

820
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:41,160
Speaker 1: four million per which puts him in a tie with

821
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:44,759
Speaker 1: the Bills Stefan Diggs. Now here's the rub for me.

822
00:44:45,200 --> 00:44:48,120
Speaker 1: While I understand he is a critical part of their

823
00:44:48,160 --> 00:44:50,640
Speaker 1: team going forward, I think he's only twenty three years old.

824
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 1: They're expecting to play for a long time. Naturally, you

825
00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,480
Speaker 1: better get the quarterback situation figured out in a hurry

826
00:44:59,080 --> 00:45:01,879
Speaker 1: or you're knocked. Going to get your money's worth from

827
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf. Geno Smith is the starting quarterback right now.

828
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:10,399
Speaker 1: Drew Locke is running with the second team in training camp.

829
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:14,760
Speaker 1: And even if Drew Locke turns into a better quarterback

830
00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:17,600
Speaker 1: than he ever was in Denver, I still don't think

831
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 1: you're getting twenty four million a year money's worth out

832
00:45:21,040 --> 00:45:23,880
Speaker 1: of the receiver because of the quarterback who's going to

833
00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:27,719
Speaker 1: be throwing to him. Whether it's Geno Smith or it's

834
00:45:27,800 --> 00:45:30,360
Speaker 1: Drew Locke, I don't think it matters. And I have

835
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:36,080
Speaker 1: to wonder this extension. It's only three years. He's twenty

836
00:45:36,160 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: three years old. Why why is it only three years?

837
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: I think that's coming from the Metcalf camp more than

838
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 1: anything else. He's like, all right, I'll take the money

839
00:45:45,800 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 1: now so I can make more now, but I'm not

840
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:53,279
Speaker 1: staying here more than three more years if you don't

841
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: get the quarterback situation figured out. So I think that

842
00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 1: the reason it was a short RelA Tivy short contract

843
00:46:02,280 --> 00:46:05,319
Speaker 1: extension is because I don't think Metcalf wants to hang

844
00:46:05,360 --> 00:46:07,880
Speaker 1: around if they're not going to get the quarterback situation

845
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 1: figured out at that point in time. So in the offseason,

846
00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 1: that really was the year of the receiver and the

847
00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:19,439
Speaker 1: market getting reset, most notably by Tyreek's Hill. Tyreek Hill's

848
00:46:19,600 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 1: ridiculous deal in Miami. I mean, he's a super talented player,

849
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:25,400
Speaker 1: but thirty million for him, I don't even know if

850
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 1: I could go there. But Miami was desperate, they were

851
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,640
Speaker 1: willing to fork over that kind of money. Kansas City

852
00:46:30,680 --> 00:46:33,319
Speaker 1: said you're crazy and traded him, and he is now

853
00:46:33,360 --> 00:46:35,560
Speaker 1: at the top of the pyramid in terms of the

854
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,359
Speaker 1: average annual value at the wide receiver position at thirty

855
00:46:38,400 --> 00:46:42,040
Speaker 1: million per year. Davante Adams, after getting traded to Las Vegas,

856
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:44,480
Speaker 1: also got a new contract. He's at twenty eighty year.

857
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:48,719
Speaker 1: Then it's DeAndre Hopkins third, Cooper Cup after his new

858
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:52,960
Speaker 1: deal at twenty six seven. A. J. Brown of the

859
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:55,799
Speaker 1: Eagles is fifth after he signs a new deal after

860
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:59,759
Speaker 1: being traded twenty five per Then digs on his new

861
00:46:59,840 --> 00:47:04,239
Speaker 1: deal at twenty four along with Metcalfe Terry McLaurin right

862
00:47:04,320 --> 00:47:07,880
Speaker 1: behind them in Washington at twenty two seven. There's another

863
00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 1: guy who the Commanders may not get their money's worth

864
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:14,000
Speaker 1: out of unless Carson Wentz can dramatically turn around his

865
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:18,480
Speaker 1: quarterback production. And then it's Dj Moore and Keenan Allen

866
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:22,960
Speaker 1: rounding out the top ten. Interesting thing here is the

867
00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 1: Chargers have two twenty million dollars per year receivers. Keenan

868
00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,560
Speaker 1: Allan aready had a big contract, and then this offseason

869
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 1: they signed or resigned Mike Williams to a three year,

870
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:41,000
Speaker 1: sixty million dollar extension. So two twenty million dollars receivers

871
00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:44,719
Speaker 1: on the Charger's roster. You wonder if that is going

872
00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:47,239
Speaker 1: to have to change in the next year or so

873
00:47:47,920 --> 00:47:49,759
Speaker 1: when the Chargers are going to have to pay big

874
00:47:49,880 --> 00:47:53,160
Speaker 1: money to their young franchise quarterback Justin Herbert. He's still

875
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,200
Speaker 1: on a rookie contract now, so the Chargers can afford

876
00:47:56,600 --> 00:47:59,400
Speaker 1: to pay Keenan Allen and Mike Williams gigantic money in

877
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 1: addition to Khalil Mack and Joey Bosa among other people.

878
00:48:02,800 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: That is going to change, but that's what you do

879
00:48:05,760 --> 00:48:08,120
Speaker 1: because you have the luxury of doing that when you

880
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,680
Speaker 1: have a quarterback on a rookie contract. Bills did that

881
00:48:11,800 --> 00:48:13,480
Speaker 1: for a little bit before they had to pay Josh.

882
00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:17,400
Speaker 1: Chargers are in that boat now. But eventually the Chickens

883
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,320
Speaker 1: will come home to roost and they're gonna have to

884
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:23,920
Speaker 1: pay Justin Herbert big money on his second contract. So

885
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,560
Speaker 1: that's kind of news and notes in a nutshell. There

886
00:48:26,640 --> 00:48:31,480
Speaker 1: were a couple other items. Taysom Hill suffered a rib

887
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:34,759
Speaker 1: injury today in Saints training camp. He is out indefinitely.

888
00:48:35,320 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: Apparently they've been using new head coach Dennis Allen has

889
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:40,759
Speaker 1: been using Taysom Hill, and he's been a gadget guy

890
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: working in the backfield, running plays, lining up in the

891
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:46,600
Speaker 1: backfield as a running back. The Saints have actually had

892
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 1: him lining up as a tight end, so that is

893
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,279
Speaker 1: how the rib injury happened. It may take him out

894
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 1: of the first two preseason games. They're saying he is

895
00:48:56,960 --> 00:49:00,239
Speaker 1: out indefinitely, though he is expected to be ready for

896
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:05,640
Speaker 1: Week one barring any kind of setback. The other interesting

897
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:10,560
Speaker 1: news came out of Washington, where the word now is

898
00:49:10,680 --> 00:49:13,720
Speaker 1: that Chase Young, who is coming off an ACL injury

899
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 1: much like Trudavious White may miss some regular season games.

900
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:22,320
Speaker 1: That was not initially believed, but now it appears that

901
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:27,160
Speaker 1: they are entertaining the likelihood of Chase Young missing some

902
00:49:27,360 --> 00:49:31,200
Speaker 1: regular season games for the Washington Commanders. Basically, head coach

903
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:35,200
Speaker 1: Ron Rivera said he could miss quote a little bit

904
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:39,160
Speaker 1: of time during the regular season. So that's been interpreted

905
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:42,000
Speaker 1: as he is going to miss some time in the

906
00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,320
Speaker 1: regular season at the beginning of the year. And you

907
00:49:45,520 --> 00:49:49,520
Speaker 1: might ask, well, when did Chase Young suffer his ACL tear.

908
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:54,960
Speaker 1: He suffered it in Week ten last season, So you

909
00:49:55,040 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 1: look at that, and then you look at Trey White,

910
00:49:57,960 --> 00:50:00,840
Speaker 1: who I believe was week twelve, and you come to

911
00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 1: understand why the Bills are pacing Tredevious White through the

912
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:08,640
Speaker 1: rehab process. Even here in training camp. There's no need

913
00:50:08,680 --> 00:50:11,320
Speaker 1: to rush it now, so they're not going to And

914
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: every case is different, and the bigger guys have more

915
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: of a problem because you're pushing more weight off of

916
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:20,640
Speaker 1: that surgically repaired leg than maybe the smaller guys like

917
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:24,880
Speaker 1: the dbs are. So hopefully Tredevius White is on a

918
00:50:24,960 --> 00:50:28,320
Speaker 1: faster track than Chase Young, even though his injury happened

919
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:31,000
Speaker 1: two weeks after Chase Young's We'll have to wait and

920
00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: see break time for us here. When we come back,

921
00:50:33,920 --> 00:50:36,239
Speaker 1: I'll be joined by Bills reporter Mattie Glab, who's been

922
00:50:36,239 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 1: out on the sidelines with me just about it every

923
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,839
Speaker 1: single day. So we'll be given our thoughts on what's

924
00:50:41,840 --> 00:50:45,000
Speaker 1: been going on on the practice field, along with our

925
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,960
Speaker 1: reflections on the Mica Hyde injury and what happens on

926
00:50:48,040 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: the practice field going forward. Knowing he is likely to

927
00:50:51,400 --> 00:50:53,440
Speaker 1: miss some time, We'll be back with you for the

928
00:50:53,480 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: second hour the show next here on One Bill's Live,

929
00:50:55,640 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a

930
00:51:15,320 --> 00:51:18,759
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all over the field. Kind

931
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:20,640
Speaker 1: of unique. He was kind of a dual role player

932
00:51:20,680 --> 00:51:26,719
Speaker 1: for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

933
00:51:26,840 --> 00:51:35,719
Speaker 1: the threaded bear of normalcy all right. Here we are

934
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: our number two on a Friday at training camp. Chris Brown,

935
00:51:39,239 --> 00:51:44,120
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab joining you as uh Maddie again capably sits

936
00:51:44,160 --> 00:51:47,880
Speaker 1: in for one Stephen a Tasker who is out west again.

937
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: He is a traveling vagabond guy's a nomad um. But

938
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:55,960
Speaker 1: he'll be back on Monday. So thanks for helping us

939
00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:59,880
Speaker 1: out today Before we get started, there was one thing

940
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,719
Speaker 1: that I wanted to mention. I was talking to Jordan

941
00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,880
Speaker 1: Phillips about how you could have multiple potential double digit

942
00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 1: sack guys with the talent they have upfront, and he said, oh, yeah,

943
00:52:09,760 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 1: it was like that year with Jerry Hughes. And who

944
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:15,000
Speaker 1: was it? I said, Mario Williams, and I said Marcel Darius.

945
00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,279
Speaker 1: Marcell Darius was on that squad, but he did not

946
00:52:17,440 --> 00:52:20,440
Speaker 1: get double digit sacks that year. Was Kyle Williams. So

947
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 1: basically it went Mario Williams who had thirteen sacks. Kyle

948
00:52:26,680 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 1: Williams had ten and a half sacks, and Jerry Hughes

949
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 1: had ten and then Marcell Darius had seven and a half.

950
00:52:32,840 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: So that was back in the twenty thirteen season. Jordan

951
00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:39,719
Speaker 1: Phillips is envisioning that for this group. You know, Von

952
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 1: Miller is probably good for double digits. Jordan Phillips had

953
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 1: nine and a half in twenty nineteen, as you know,

954
00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:50,160
Speaker 1: and now you just need somebody else. And he thinks

955
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,200
Speaker 1: Ed's the guy to do it. And there's a long

956
00:52:52,320 --> 00:52:54,879
Speaker 1: list of guys who are capable of that. I would

957
00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:56,920
Speaker 1: have to circle Ed as the one who would do

958
00:52:57,000 --> 00:52:59,840
Speaker 1: it as well. I mean when you add somebody like

959
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 1: von Miller to the lineup, when you add someone like

960
00:53:03,600 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 1: a day Quon Jones, Jordan Phillips, both those guys have

961
00:53:07,600 --> 00:53:12,319
Speaker 1: gotten a healthy amount of practice time in Ed as

962
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,440
Speaker 1: a guy, if he has somebody talented next to him,

963
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 1: he can really shine and flourish. And we heard von

964
00:53:17,920 --> 00:53:19,800
Speaker 1: Miller talk about a lot when he first signed with

965
00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills is I need that inside man to

966
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,759
Speaker 1: be able to do my thing. And of course he

967
00:53:25,880 --> 00:53:28,320
Speaker 1: had one of the best, He had the best in

968
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,880
Speaker 1: the NFL to do it next to at the LA

969
00:53:31,080 --> 00:53:33,920
Speaker 1: Rams and has been really impressed with what Ed Oliver

970
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: brings to the table. We saw him today in practice

971
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 1: kind of accidentally knock over Josh Allen in a play.

972
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott went over to Ed and talk to him

973
00:53:44,440 --> 00:53:47,400
Speaker 1: a little bit after that. Didn't look like Ed did

974
00:53:47,480 --> 00:53:49,759
Speaker 1: it purposefully. It kind of looked like he was he

975
00:53:49,840 --> 00:53:53,320
Speaker 1: couldn't stop his body from going forward. But the defensive

976
00:53:53,360 --> 00:53:56,040
Speaker 1: line had a day today because, like you've already said,

977
00:53:56,040 --> 00:53:59,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line was without quite a few players. The

978
00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:02,000
Speaker 1: list continue to add up, and it's bringing me back

979
00:54:02,080 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: to training camps in the past. When the offensive line

980
00:54:04,640 --> 00:54:07,040
Speaker 1: has been short a couple of players. Hopefully that's not

981
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: the case. The entire training camp would love to see

982
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,640
Speaker 1: guys like Roger Staffold get back in the mix. Ryan Bates,

983
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 1: he's been out a little bit, started the started camp

984
00:54:16,400 --> 00:54:18,719
Speaker 1: on the field, so hopefully they get some of those

985
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:21,680
Speaker 1: guys back, including Spencer Brown as well before Week one

986
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,839
Speaker 1: kicks off. Yeah. I mean they always say, well better

987
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,160
Speaker 1: now than in the regular season, which is true, but

988
00:54:28,280 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: I think we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that

989
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:33,520
Speaker 1: there is a new old line coach. The pads go

990
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 1: on tomorrow, so every day from here on out that's

991
00:54:37,040 --> 00:54:41,240
Speaker 1: missed is a missed opportunity to build the chemistry because

992
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,400
Speaker 1: there is no other unit on the field that works

993
00:54:45,160 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 1: in Unison the way the offensive line does, so that

994
00:54:48,719 --> 00:54:53,000
Speaker 1: time together is more valuable at that position group than

995
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:56,640
Speaker 1: maybe any other on your rosters. So yes, you hope

996
00:54:56,719 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: that a lot of these guys are on the fast

997
00:54:58,640 --> 00:55:01,560
Speaker 1: track to get back on the field. Hopefully it's only

998
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,839
Speaker 1: a minor issue for Ryan Bates. Hopefully Dion Dawkins gets

999
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:08,520
Speaker 1: his personal matter resolved and can get back Roger Staffold.

1000
00:55:08,800 --> 00:55:10,799
Speaker 1: That's a little bit of a tricky thing. Ribs are

1001
00:55:11,400 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 1: a serious injury, and so yeah, so I can't even

1002
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:18,879
Speaker 1: imagine playing for puff busted ribs or cracked ribs, whatever

1003
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 1: they are. So hopefully Saffold is on the mend, and

1004
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:24,800
Speaker 1: like I said earlier, they're giving him whole milk or

1005
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: something as much calcium in your body as possible and

1006
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,440
Speaker 1: heal up those ribs. Micah Hyde Maddie, we saw him

1007
00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: go down, he hobbled off, he got carted to the

1008
00:55:37,239 --> 00:55:41,719
Speaker 1: locker room. Going forward here they now only have for

1009
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,319
Speaker 1: true safeties. Nick McLeod could technically be the fifth since

1010
00:55:46,400 --> 00:55:49,240
Speaker 1: he has been getting some reps there in addition to Corner.

1011
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:53,680
Speaker 1: But we saw Jikwan Johnson come on for Micah hide

1012
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:57,359
Speaker 1: and work alongside Jordan Poyer. That's really what we kind

1013
00:55:57,400 --> 00:56:00,239
Speaker 1: of envision here going forward. I don't see anybody else

1014
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:04,160
Speaker 1: unseating him in that first safety off the bench role. Yeah,

1015
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:07,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say first safety off the bench. DeMar Hamlin

1016
00:56:07,239 --> 00:56:10,240
Speaker 1: did have an interception today that was against case Keenum,

1017
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 1: so he's had a couple plays in camp so far

1018
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:17,399
Speaker 1: that have definitely impressed. But Jaquan Johnson is that next

1019
00:56:17,480 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 1: man up. He's somebody who's been patiently waiting for his turn,

1020
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:22,800
Speaker 1: not saying that Mica Hide is not going to be

1021
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,960
Speaker 1: back anytime soon. Hopefully he is. But Jaquan is also

1022
00:56:26,000 --> 00:56:28,080
Speaker 1: a guy who got a heavy share of reps in

1023
00:56:28,160 --> 00:56:32,880
Speaker 1: OTAs and in mandatory minicamp because Jordan Poyer really wasn't around,

1024
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,960
Speaker 1: and Micah Hyde was asked about practicing with Jordan, with

1025
00:56:37,239 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: practicing with Jaquan Johnson. I know Micah wasn't on the

1026
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,360
Speaker 1: field with Jaquan today, but um Mica said, you know,

1027
00:56:43,480 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 1: I've had a million reps with Jordan Poyer. Jordan would

1028
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,680
Speaker 1: say the same thing about Micah Hyde, but Mica did

1029
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:51,800
Speaker 1: say it's been nice to have Jaquan Johnson in the

1030
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 1: fold and be able to get some reps next to him.

1031
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,600
Speaker 1: So I love the opportunity for Jaquan. I love if

1032
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:01,879
Speaker 1: he can get a couple more reps in there, whether

1033
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:05,280
Speaker 1: it be in practices, whether it being in games, because

1034
00:57:05,560 --> 00:57:09,919
Speaker 1: if someone goes down, whether it's Jordan or Mica, they're

1035
00:57:09,960 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 1: going to need to be able to jump in quickly.

1036
00:57:11,719 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 1: And that's a position group where you're going to be

1037
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:16,720
Speaker 1: targeted a lot. Based on what the NFL looks like today,

1038
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: there's only two of you on the field at the

1039
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 1: same time. So happy that Jakwon Johnson is going to

1040
00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:26,200
Speaker 1: get this opportunity. M DeMar Hamlin maybe get a little

1041
00:57:26,240 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 1: bit more work for him as well. But hope to

1042
00:57:28,920 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 1: see Micah Hide back in the fold, back in the

1043
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,240
Speaker 1: lineup soon enough. Yeah, And you know, you think back

1044
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: to the opportunities that Jaquan Johnson has had to play.

1045
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:39,960
Speaker 1: You know, he's now in his third season with the Bills,

1046
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:45,400
Speaker 1: and you remember the Houston game last year. He got

1047
00:57:45,480 --> 00:57:47,480
Speaker 1: to play in that game because it was a forty

1048
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:50,440
Speaker 1: to nothing blowout. It gets an interception late in that

1049
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:54,120
Speaker 1: game off Davis Mills, and there were some other spot

1050
00:57:54,200 --> 00:57:56,560
Speaker 1: duty that he got when games were already in hand

1051
00:57:56,720 --> 00:58:00,320
Speaker 1: and coach was sitting starters down, but not a ton

1052
00:58:00,800 --> 00:58:04,600
Speaker 1: of regular season game experience. You know, these guys are

1053
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 1: getting a little bit longer in the tooth, Poyer and Hide.

1054
00:58:07,360 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's wishing for injuries to catch up

1055
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: with them, but sometimes that can happen. Four players on

1056
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,960
Speaker 1: the other side of thirty years old. So you know,

1057
00:58:18,160 --> 00:58:22,200
Speaker 1: knowing you have Jaquan Johnson in reserve, I think has

1058
00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: to be pretty reassuring for Leslie Frazier who not only

1059
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:30,080
Speaker 1: has seen him in action, but seen him seen him perform,

1060
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: and seen him make big plays even if it's a

1061
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:35,400
Speaker 1: game that's already in hand. Yeah, he's a sixth round pick.

1062
00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: I was looking up. Okay, what round was this guy drafted?

1063
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,160
Speaker 1: And heading into his fourth season with the Buffalo Bills

1064
00:58:41,160 --> 00:58:44,520
Speaker 1: and his business fourth You know it's crazy, but he's

1065
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 1: been somebody who's who's had a big role on special teams,

1066
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 1: who's been a part of special teams really since he

1067
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,320
Speaker 1: came onto this roster. In his first few seasons, he

1068
00:58:52,400 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 1: had that one start last season, played in seventeen games,

1069
00:58:56,240 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: mostly on special teams. But for somebody to to know

1070
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: the defense, this is not an easy defense to pick up.

1071
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:06,280
Speaker 1: We've heard that from Von Miller when he got introduced

1072
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:09,040
Speaker 1: as a Buffalo Bill and started to go through that playbook.

1073
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:12,720
Speaker 1: But to have somebody who can come off the bench

1074
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:15,560
Speaker 1: and hop right onto the field, a guy like d

1075
00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: Kwon Johnson I think is exactly who you want. He's

1076
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:23,800
Speaker 1: going into his fourth season and has had the reps

1077
00:59:23,880 --> 00:59:27,000
Speaker 1: that he's had or has been talked about, um like

1078
00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:29,320
Speaker 1: he's been talked about when you talk to players when

1079
00:59:29,360 --> 00:59:31,560
Speaker 1: you talk to Lesley Fraser for a reason, I think

1080
00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,840
Speaker 1: this is somebody that the defense respects and somebody that

1081
00:59:34,920 --> 00:59:37,880
Speaker 1: the defense trusts to go out there if he if

1082
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: he needs to get out there in a game. Yeah,

1083
00:59:40,920 --> 00:59:43,280
Speaker 1: And so it begs the question, and I know some

1084
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:47,840
Speaker 1: media were already speculating on the sidelines is depending on

1085
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: how long Hype could be out, it could prompt a

1086
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,440
Speaker 1: roster move where maybe Brandon being the personnel department, the

1087
00:59:55,480 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff says, hey, we don't want people to get

1088
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:00,439
Speaker 1: bogged down with too many reps. Do we to add

1089
01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 1: a safety here. McLeod may prevent that though, because like

1090
01:00:05,680 --> 01:00:08,800
Speaker 1: we said, he's gotten reps at safety end corner, and

1091
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, maybe they can cover the reps enough and

1092
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,400
Speaker 1: maybe McLeod has to take maybe a few more safety

1093
01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 1: reps than corner reps instead of the other way around,

1094
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: because I think he's probably in some total mad He

1095
01:00:22,920 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: probably taking a few more corner reps than safety reps,

1096
01:00:26,760 --> 01:00:29,400
Speaker 1: but not a lot, not a lot. It's I would say,

1097
01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 1: it's probably like a sixty five thirty five, sixty forty

1098
01:00:31,880 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 1: kind of breakdown. But you wonder if Hide is out

1099
01:00:34,760 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 1: for an extended period of time, does that rotate him

1100
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:40,080
Speaker 1: up to get more safety reps than corner reps here

1101
01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 1: for the second week if camp. It would be interesting

1102
01:00:41,920 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 1: to see. Yeah, And if they needed to fold somebody

1103
01:00:45,480 --> 01:00:48,760
Speaker 1: else into the mix, I mean Christian Benford is also

1104
01:00:48,840 --> 01:00:52,720
Speaker 1: looked at right as that cornerback safety type player. They

1105
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,800
Speaker 1: have him listed as cornerback, but they have a few

1106
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:58,320
Speaker 1: guys to work with. I don't think that position group

1107
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: doesn't have any players in it. They also have Josh

1108
01:01:02,240 --> 01:01:06,240
Speaker 1: Thomas as well, who's been on the roster heading into

1109
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: his second season this year. Other observations today, I know

1110
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 1: Matt he's going to be covering this in top three

1111
01:01:14,560 --> 01:01:19,720
Speaker 1: things to know from day five of training camp. And

1112
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: the specialists all addressed the media today. Reed Ferguson talked

1113
01:01:25,760 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 1: for the longest that guy Man, He's always got something

1114
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,560
Speaker 1: to say, doesn't he? Man alive? I think it was

1115
01:01:30,560 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: like a fifteen minute press count. Long snapper went along.

1116
01:01:35,840 --> 01:01:38,240
Speaker 1: But the punting competition, I guess, is what's front and

1117
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,640
Speaker 1: center there as far as the specialists go. And I

1118
01:01:41,760 --> 01:01:45,520
Speaker 1: know Matt Smiley said the holding competition is the holding

1119
01:01:45,840 --> 01:01:48,960
Speaker 1: is part of that competition that maybe some people don't

1120
01:01:48,960 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: pay as much attention to but it's a major factor.

1121
01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 1: It's a point scoring play, and he's looking at that

1122
01:01:56,440 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 1: almost as much as the actual punting. And I know

1123
01:02:01,680 --> 01:02:04,800
Speaker 1: one of our colleagues was even saying thirty two teams

1124
01:02:04,880 --> 01:02:08,440
Speaker 1: in the league, all thirty two used punters as their

1125
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: holders on special teams, so it's kind of like an

1126
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 1: automatic thing. Now, if you're a punter in the league,

1127
01:02:13,840 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: you're expected to be able to hold for field goal attempts.

1128
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: And the big thing in the spring was how Matterriser

1129
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,320
Speaker 1: really didn't do a whole lot of that in college.

1130
01:02:22,920 --> 01:02:24,760
Speaker 1: But I think he's done all right here. I haven't

1131
01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:27,120
Speaker 1: have you seen any flubs. I haven't seen any flubs

1132
01:02:27,160 --> 01:02:28,920
Speaker 1: on holds. I think he's been pretty good. No, I

1133
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 1: have not. And Smiley said that those two are alternating days,

1134
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 1: so they each get a day of work and then

1135
01:02:34,560 --> 01:02:37,800
Speaker 1: they'll alternate the next day. I haven't. I feel like

1136
01:02:37,880 --> 01:02:40,560
Speaker 1: if if anything would have happened, we would have seen it.

1137
01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:45,320
Speaker 1: And everything has looked coming off of Tyler's foot has

1138
01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:49,400
Speaker 1: looked pretty clean. So neck and neck, I guess you

1139
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:53,040
Speaker 1: could say the punter competition. Tyler Bass was also asked

1140
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 1: about it. He said both of them have been doing

1141
01:02:55,400 --> 01:02:58,560
Speaker 1: a great job. Smiley had a lot of great things

1142
01:02:58,600 --> 01:03:01,919
Speaker 1: to say about Matt Hawk and the fact that he's

1143
01:03:01,960 --> 01:03:04,840
Speaker 1: competing for starting job right now. But he's also an

1144
01:03:04,920 --> 01:03:07,280
Speaker 1: open book for Matt Ariza, who's a rookie coming into

1145
01:03:07,320 --> 01:03:10,200
Speaker 1: the NFL, probably has a lot of questions just about

1146
01:03:10,280 --> 01:03:12,920
Speaker 1: how to do practice, how to live life as an

1147
01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: NFL player, and Hawk has been right there answering any

1148
01:03:15,840 --> 01:03:18,640
Speaker 1: questions that he has. I feel like Reid Ferguson is

1149
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,880
Speaker 1: also kind of a dad in that position group. As

1150
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:23,720
Speaker 1: as he was somebody asked him, you know, you are

1151
01:03:23,800 --> 01:03:26,400
Speaker 1: now the longest tenured Buffalo Bill on this roster, now

1152
01:03:26,480 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 1: that Jerry Hughes has gone. So Red has been a

1153
01:03:29,920 --> 01:03:33,640
Speaker 1: part of a lot of kicker and punter competitions since

1154
01:03:33,720 --> 01:03:35,760
Speaker 1: becoming a Buffalo Bill. I think he said, this is

1155
01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,600
Speaker 1: his seventh year, so so he's been around awhile he

1156
01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: knows how these things go down. So I think that

1157
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: position group, there's guys that have some some good advice

1158
01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:48,320
Speaker 1: to give in that position group. And Matt Hawk said today,

1159
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, there have been years where I have been

1160
01:03:50,680 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: a part of a punter competition. There have been years

1161
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: where I haven't been a part of a punter competition,

1162
01:03:56,320 --> 01:03:59,440
Speaker 1: but I think it helps me when there's competition going on,

1163
01:03:59,600 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 1: It puts me a little bit more. And that's essentially

1164
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 1: what Sean McDermott wants out of training, camping, and wants

1165
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 1: out of really practice every single day is players feeling

1166
01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: like they're pushed because because of a competition going on. Yeah,

1167
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:16,760
Speaker 1: and I would say that while what they do out

1168
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,160
Speaker 1: here on the practice field certainly has value, and we'll

1169
01:04:19,200 --> 01:04:22,120
Speaker 1: go into the evaluation, I think the rubbers going to

1170
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:24,200
Speaker 1: meet the road in the preseason games, and I think

1171
01:04:24,760 --> 01:04:27,880
Speaker 1: the performance is there in the three preseason games will

1172
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,760
Speaker 1: go a long way in determining who the punter is.

1173
01:04:30,800 --> 01:04:32,680
Speaker 1: And you know, when you think about it, Maddie, you

1174
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: think about how these preseason games go, and you know,

1175
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 1: at a lot of different positions, starting roles are for

1176
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:44,400
Speaker 1: the most part determined after just a couple of preseason

1177
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 1: games and then the third game is a throwaway. That's

1178
01:04:47,120 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: not the case at punter. You only got two guys

1179
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: and they're gonna be kicking every game. So this is

1180
01:04:53,720 --> 01:04:56,360
Speaker 1: something that could very well go through the course of

1181
01:04:56,440 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: the entire preseason before a decision is ultimately made. Yeah,

1182
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:02,200
Speaker 1: say in practice something like this. You know, we're five

1183
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: practice practices in. It's it's probably tough to tell, you know,

1184
01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:09,840
Speaker 1: who has the edge on the other, especially from our

1185
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,720
Speaker 1: standpoint as we're watching. I don't think our eyes aren't

1186
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,720
Speaker 1: necessarily on the punter competition every single period of training camp.

1187
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:18,720
Speaker 1: And I think we'll be able to get a better

1188
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: look at those two once preseason games begin, as well

1189
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: as the return competition. I mean that'll be I'm interested

1190
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 1: in and how that's going to unfold as preseason games begin,

1191
01:05:30,880 --> 01:05:33,600
Speaker 1: because that's again when I think we will really get

1192
01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,560
Speaker 1: a first look at at who's available. And Smiley touched

1193
01:05:36,600 --> 01:05:38,680
Speaker 1: on that today, said, you know, I really want somebody

1194
01:05:38,720 --> 01:05:43,040
Speaker 1: who's reliable over somebody who's explosive, and said, when it

1195
01:05:43,120 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: comes to evaluating in preseason games, sometimes it's tough because

1196
01:05:47,680 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: because of touchbacks, because of who they're going up against,

1197
01:05:51,520 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 1: does he get a fair shot at returning a ball

1198
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:59,840
Speaker 1: or not moving on to another position? Group offensive line,

1199
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:05,680
Speaker 1: and we already mentioned how shorthanded they have been. I

1200
01:06:05,960 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 1: was kind and I realized the pads aren't on yet,

1201
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: and every lineman would tell you that, but I wonder,

1202
01:06:13,280 --> 01:06:16,200
Speaker 1: you know who's going to step to the forefront in

1203
01:06:16,320 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: the absence of the guys that are currently not on

1204
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:21,720
Speaker 1: the practice field, Like is Cody Ford going to show

1205
01:06:21,760 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 1: out with an opportunity to get more reps? Or is

1206
01:06:24,720 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: it going to be Greg Man's Or what about David Cassonberry,

1207
01:06:28,400 --> 01:06:30,800
Speaker 1: Like where is he going to end up? And does

1208
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,960
Speaker 1: he still look like the dependable veteran that he was

1209
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:37,120
Speaker 1: with the Tennessee Titans. And I think without the pads on,

1210
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:41,560
Speaker 1: it's been difficult to ascertain. But today, with new guys

1211
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:46,320
Speaker 1: and new places and four projected starters missing, they had

1212
01:06:46,360 --> 01:06:51,320
Speaker 1: their battles today and the defense was dialing up pressure packages.

1213
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: They were getting heat on the quarterback, they were getting

1214
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:58,320
Speaker 1: tackles for a loss. It just reminds you how important

1215
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: having your top five guys is. And that's just in

1216
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:04,439
Speaker 1: a practice setting with no pants. Yeah, And it wasn't

1217
01:07:04,560 --> 01:07:07,840
Speaker 1: like it was just Case Keenum and Matt Barkley who

1218
01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: are feeling the pressure today. It was Josh Josh Allen

1219
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: who was feeling that pressure as well. As you said,

1220
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,480
Speaker 1: you know, projected starters have been out of the lineup

1221
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 1: now for multiple days, and today it really seemed to

1222
01:07:19,160 --> 01:07:22,800
Speaker 1: add up with Dion Dawkins and Ryan Bates being gone. Um,

1223
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 1: so it gives those guys an opportunity to see who

1224
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 1: the depth on the roster is going to be, which

1225
01:07:29,240 --> 01:07:32,360
Speaker 1: is very important for a position like offensive line. When

1226
01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,840
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean spoke to the media on Sunday, he said,

1227
01:07:35,320 --> 01:07:38,200
Speaker 1: no matter how many we keep, whether it's eight nine, ten,

1228
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: the guys who are going to be eight nine ten

1229
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: or or the last few in, they're gonna have to

1230
01:07:45,120 --> 01:07:47,240
Speaker 1: be versatile. They're gonna have to be the guys that

1231
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:50,960
Speaker 1: play multiple positions. And Brandon Bean has talked about that

1232
01:07:51,080 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 1: a lot and how he likes players like Ryan Bates,

1233
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:57,600
Speaker 1: U and Ike Bucker because they can play multi multiple

1234
01:07:57,680 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 1: positions on the offensive lines. So the guys that you listed,

1235
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: they've gotten their fair share of reps, especially in practice

1236
01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:08,200
Speaker 1: today with multiple players being out and going up against

1237
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 1: guys like von Miller and guys like at Oliver and

1238
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:16,880
Speaker 1: Greg Russeau. M What better way to practice. Yeah, Hopefully

1239
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:18,320
Speaker 1: when the paths go on, we can get a better

1240
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:20,280
Speaker 1: assessment as to what we're looking at, because it's been

1241
01:08:20,320 --> 01:08:23,000
Speaker 1: a tough evaluation, especially with all the mixing and matching.

1242
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,439
Speaker 1: Let's go to the phones though, Is it is Obel

1243
01:08:25,720 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 1: Fan Friday mail Bag, and we go to Chris and Rochester,

1244
01:08:29,479 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 1: who's been waiting patiently. What do you have for us? Chris,

1245
01:08:31,400 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: you're on one Bill's Live. Hey, Chris and Maddie, how

1246
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: are you? Can you hear me? Okay, yeah, we got you. Awesome? Great.

1247
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:44,679
Speaker 1: Before I get to my question, I was at Bill's

1248
01:08:44,720 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 1: practice today and as I was walking out, Maddie, I

1249
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:50,799
Speaker 1: saw you on the sidelines and I waited and I said, hey, Maddie,

1250
01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:52,960
Speaker 1: and you wait back. So it was great to see

1251
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,799
Speaker 1: you at camp. It was a beautiful day. Could couldn't

1252
01:08:56,800 --> 01:08:59,120
Speaker 1: have couldn't have had a better day at camp. It's

1253
01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:02,680
Speaker 1: really awesome. Uh. Anyways, let me get to my question. Um,

1254
01:09:03,120 --> 01:09:05,719
Speaker 1: I was there at the practice today as I mentioned,

1255
01:09:05,800 --> 01:09:09,840
Speaker 1: and uh, I did see the fall that uh Micah

1256
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:13,280
Speaker 1: Hyde took when he went up for the interception. M

1257
01:09:13,520 --> 01:09:16,799
Speaker 1: I know that they don't do padded practices until tomorrow.

1258
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: I'm assuming they'll be in full pads, right, like shoulder

1259
01:09:19,240 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 1: pads and everything. Right, yep ye. The question I have

1260
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:28,400
Speaker 1: is do you know if the players um like today

1261
01:09:28,560 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: when they weren't wearing you know, full shoulder pads and everything,

1262
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:35,200
Speaker 1: do they wear anything underneath their jersey and shorts like

1263
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 1: any sort of like compression shorts or anything that would

1264
01:09:38,320 --> 01:09:41,240
Speaker 1: you know, cushion them a little bit, because it's I

1265
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: just feel like when I was watching that play, if

1266
01:09:44,320 --> 01:09:48,559
Speaker 1: Micah was wearing some sort of padding of any would

1267
01:09:48,600 --> 01:09:52,000
Speaker 1: have helped quite a bit because, uh, if he if

1268
01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:55,799
Speaker 1: he was in full um, you know, shoulder pads and everything,

1269
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:57,439
Speaker 1: I think he would have gotten up off the field

1270
01:09:57,520 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 1: no problem. It's just the fact that he he didn't

1271
01:09:59,800 --> 01:10:03,240
Speaker 1: have full pads on and you know, kind of fell awkwardly.

1272
01:10:03,320 --> 01:10:09,400
Speaker 1: So I'm curious that you guys know, But what wear? Yeah,

1273
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: I mean that's a good question, Chris, and thanks for

1274
01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,479
Speaker 1: the call. They have shells on, and what shells are

1275
01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:18,559
Speaker 1: are like a foam set of shoulder pads, and those

1276
01:10:18,600 --> 01:10:24,479
Speaker 1: are just designed to prevent any unfortunate helmet to shoulder

1277
01:10:24,680 --> 01:10:29,719
Speaker 1: area injuries. Your collar bone is very susceptible to injury

1278
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:34,000
Speaker 1: if it's not padded up in a competitive setting, and

1279
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 1: so they put the shells on primarily to protect the

1280
01:10:36,800 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: player's upper body from helmet contact. You get a helmet

1281
01:10:40,600 --> 01:10:43,479
Speaker 1: or a crown of a helmet on an open collar bone,

1282
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: I mean, you could break it pretty easily. So those

1283
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:50,360
Speaker 1: pat that those shell pads, which are lightweight and made

1284
01:10:50,400 --> 01:10:55,120
Speaker 1: of foam, helped protect against that. Obviously, his fall was

1285
01:10:55,200 --> 01:10:57,960
Speaker 1: on his hip and back. Maddie, I do know when

1286
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,680
Speaker 1: you're wearing full gear, a lot of the guys do

1287
01:10:59,760 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 1: wear hip pads again to protect you know, your pelvis

1288
01:11:04,080 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: there because it is exposed. There's not a lot of

1289
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 1: meat down there. But I don't know, you know what,

1290
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 1: I don't even know if they would wear hip pads

1291
01:11:12,280 --> 01:11:15,320
Speaker 1: in a full padded practice. They wouldn't a game. I

1292
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,480
Speaker 1: just don't know about to practice. Some of the compression

1293
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:20,320
Speaker 1: shorts and tops that these guys wear do have a

1294
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,880
Speaker 1: little bit of built top on the shoulders or on

1295
01:11:23,960 --> 01:11:28,200
Speaker 1: the sides, but it's not anything crazy in terms of protection.

1296
01:11:28,479 --> 01:11:31,960
Speaker 1: Goalkeepers and soccer have those slider shorts that have padding

1297
01:11:32,040 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: built into the hips. I don't know too many football

1298
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:38,360
Speaker 1: players that wear that though. Yeah, Micah could certainly have

1299
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: used it on the fall that he had. But yeah,

1300
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: to answer your question, yes, there is some kind of

1301
01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:48,560
Speaker 1: protection that they have. It's just scaled back because the

1302
01:11:48,680 --> 01:11:53,360
Speaker 1: hitting is not supposed to be as physical. The other thing, too,

1303
01:11:53,560 --> 01:11:56,559
Speaker 1: is the players are schooled up and coached up by

1304
01:11:56,600 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: the coaching staff as to how intense the practice pace

1305
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 1: is going to be when they're not fully padded up

1306
01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:06,600
Speaker 1: and players know, you know, I could have lit this

1307
01:12:06,720 --> 01:12:08,640
Speaker 1: guy up, but I pulled up because we're not in

1308
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:13,439
Speaker 1: pads and we're not playing full contact football. Where you

1309
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: get into trouble is when there's a ball in the

1310
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,360
Speaker 1: air like we saw on that play. It's a high

1311
01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 1: pass and Mike is jumping to compete and high point

1312
01:12:23,560 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: the football and he gets tangled up, twists around and

1313
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:30,519
Speaker 1: lands awkwardly. There's really no way to prevent that. It's

1314
01:12:30,560 --> 01:12:33,600
Speaker 1: just two guys being competitive. Yeah, they don't want to

1315
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:36,720
Speaker 1: back down from any challenge, especially I mean, Micah High

1316
01:12:36,760 --> 01:12:39,599
Speaker 1: doesn't need to prove that he is on the roster.

1317
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:42,560
Speaker 1: He's definitely one of our starters this year. But just

1318
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,280
Speaker 1: the competitive nature that these guys have within them, it's

1319
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: it's hard to shy away from a challenge or a

1320
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:50,040
Speaker 1: ball that is up in the air and it's grabbable.

1321
01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,479
Speaker 1: Whether you're a receiver or whether you're a safety or

1322
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:57,080
Speaker 1: a cornerback. These guys get tangled up and bad things

1323
01:12:57,160 --> 01:12:59,560
Speaker 1: can happen. I mean, I think it's almost shocking that

1324
01:13:00,240 --> 01:13:03,679
Speaker 1: more practices, you don't end up in injuries without pads

1325
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 1: on based on the intensity level that these guys play with. Yeah,

1326
01:13:08,400 --> 01:13:11,599
Speaker 1: and the injury was really more due to the impact

1327
01:13:11,720 --> 01:13:14,720
Speaker 1: of the fall than it was for any kind of

1328
01:13:14,800 --> 01:13:17,320
Speaker 1: collision that took place in mid air. I mean, their

1329
01:13:17,360 --> 01:13:20,320
Speaker 1: bodies did bump up against one another, but it wasn't

1330
01:13:20,360 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: the kind of impact that his body hitting the ground made.

1331
01:13:23,920 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: He was up there and then he just kind of

1332
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:27,720
Speaker 1: got twisted in the air and the first thing he

1333
01:13:27,840 --> 01:13:31,519
Speaker 1: landed on was his hip and his glute, and that's

1334
01:13:31,560 --> 01:13:34,200
Speaker 1: why it was a painful fall. So hopefully it's a

1335
01:13:34,280 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 1: contusion and nothing more. But as we said, he is

1336
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: still under evaluation. In case you missed it earlier in

1337
01:13:38,960 --> 01:13:42,360
Speaker 1: the show, Micah Hyde leaves practice with a hip slash

1338
01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,200
Speaker 1: glute injury, kind of limps off the field and then

1339
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:49,800
Speaker 1: is carted to the locker room, still under evaluation. Last

1340
01:13:50,040 --> 01:13:52,760
Speaker 1: we heard, we will take a break here. When we

1341
01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:55,080
Speaker 1: come back, we'll get to more of your questions from

1342
01:13:55,160 --> 01:13:58,160
Speaker 1: the fan Friday mail bag, and if we have time,

1343
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:00,800

Speaker 1: cheat day today. Today, I've done a cheat day already. Um,

1363
01:15:30,680 --> 01:15:35,000
Speaker 1: he got some ice creams yea, yep, yep, you know

1364
01:15:35,200 --> 01:15:38,000
Speaker 1: pretty good. That is a popular spot here a training camp.

1365
01:15:38,240 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: For sure. We did want to get back to the

1366
01:15:42,640 --> 01:15:46,759
Speaker 1: fanmail bag to see what you had for us in there.

1367
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,560
Speaker 1: And Steve asks, a lot of good players are not

1368
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,439
Speaker 1: going to make the roster this year. As a GM,

1369
01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: do you try and trade some of these players to

1370
01:15:56,600 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: acquire draft capital or do you give the play you're

1371
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,080
Speaker 1: the courtesy of letting them sign with the team they

1372
01:16:03,160 --> 01:16:05,640
Speaker 1: want to. I think anytime you feel you have a

1373
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: commodity that can get you something in return, you make

1374
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 1: the calls to try to facilitate a trade. The Bills

1375
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: did that all the way back in twenty seventeen around

1376
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: this time when they traded Sammy Watkins and Ronald Derby,

1377
01:16:21,040 --> 01:16:22,960
Speaker 1: and people were like, what the heck are they doing.

1378
01:16:24,360 --> 01:16:26,879
Speaker 1: They got a player back in a draft pick for Watkins,

1379
01:16:27,479 --> 01:16:29,360
Speaker 1: and they got a player back in a draft pick

1380
01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:33,240
Speaker 1: for Derby in the trades with the Rams and the Eagles, respectively,

1381
01:16:33,720 --> 01:16:35,599
Speaker 1: So they got a second round pick, a third round

1382
01:16:35,640 --> 01:16:40,360
Speaker 1: pick Jordan Matthews, and cornerback E. J. Gaines. So they

1383
01:16:40,400 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: got a receiver in the corner back, maybe not the

1384
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: caliber of Watkins and Derby and then they got draft

1385
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 1: picks on top of it. It wouldn't shock me if

1386
01:16:48,120 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: that happened, because I think we can all agree, Matty,

1387
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: you look up and down this roster, there are going

1388
01:16:52,360 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: to be people that don't make this team that are

1389
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,240
Speaker 1: probably gonna play elsewhere in the league, whether they're traded

1390
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,960
Speaker 1: or just outright released. So if Brandon Bean thinks there's

1391
01:17:03,000 --> 01:17:06,439
Speaker 1: a market for any player that he feels may not

1392
01:17:06,600 --> 01:17:10,560
Speaker 1: be on their roster here, it's him. He's got to

1393
01:17:10,600 --> 01:17:12,800
Speaker 1: do his due diligence and see if there's interest. Yeah,

1394
01:17:12,840 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 1: and we saw that last year with the roster too.

1395
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:16,880
Speaker 1: Is this team's gotten better, It's gotten tougher to make

1396
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,960
Speaker 1: the roster obviously, So last year we saw guys who

1397
01:17:20,000 --> 01:17:22,479
Speaker 1: didn't make the fifty three and they went elsewhere to

1398
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: have roles on teams. Brandon Bean also loves his draft picks,

1399
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: so of course he's going to trade someone away if

1400
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: he can get a draft pick in return. Yeah, So yes,

1401
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: it could happen. The courtesy thing, I mean, the only

1402
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: time I've seen general managers NFL clubs do a courtesy thing.

1403
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: Sometimes they will release a veteran player sooner to give

1404
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:53,599
Speaker 1: them more of an opportunity to land on a roster elsewhere.

1405
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:57,120
Speaker 1: That's about the only courtesy I've seen extended to players

1406
01:17:57,200 --> 01:18:00,639
Speaker 1: over the years around this time of year. Her asks

1407
01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,840
Speaker 1: Is everything good between Kayer Elim and Stefan Days. Yeah,

1408
01:18:03,840 --> 01:18:06,240
Speaker 1: it's just two people being competitive on the practice field.

1409
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:09,439
Speaker 1: I know it looked pretty heated and in the moment

1410
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: when your competitive juices are flowing, that's what you're gonna get.

1411
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:16,000
Speaker 1: But it wouldn't shock me if after practice they're patting

1412
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:18,360
Speaker 1: each other on the button, like, Hey, good competition, let's

1413
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,720
Speaker 1: go at it again tomorrow. I think that's what you

1414
01:18:20,840 --> 01:18:23,920
Speaker 1: want to you. You want somebody who is not going

1415
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 1: to back down from a challenge. The fact that a

1416
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,160
Speaker 1: rookie is not backing down from Stefan Diggs says really

1417
01:18:30,200 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 1: good things about what Kayer Elam could do for this

1418
01:18:32,760 --> 01:18:35,600
Speaker 1: team in terms of wide receivers that he's going to

1419
01:18:35,720 --> 01:18:38,240
Speaker 1: face down the line. We're going to face some great

1420
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:43,120
Speaker 1: wide receivers on opposing teams this season, and to know

1421
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,200
Speaker 1: already in day Day one, Day two, Day three, this

1422
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:49,639
Speaker 1: kid is going up against Stefan Diggs and isn't afraid

1423
01:18:49,760 --> 01:18:52,000
Speaker 1: to I think says a lot about him and his

1424
01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:54,639
Speaker 1: character and what he wants to do when he when

1425
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:58,360
Speaker 1: he gets an opportunity. I mean, going back to his

1426
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:02,599
Speaker 1: press conferences when he first got introduced to the Buffalo Bills,

1427
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,719
Speaker 1: you could tell that that dog in him was there.

1428
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 1: A very mature person in terms of what he was

1429
01:19:11,040 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: able to learn probably from his dad, and seemed like

1430
01:19:15,439 --> 01:19:17,759
Speaker 1: he wasn't going to back down from anything right away

1431
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:22,040
Speaker 1: and was very candid about I am here to play,

1432
01:19:22,240 --> 01:19:24,560
Speaker 1: I'm here to earn a starting job. That is what

1433
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: I want to do. And he's at opportunities on the

1434
01:19:28,040 --> 01:19:30,920
Speaker 1: field because Trey White hasn't been there yet. We had

1435
01:19:31,000 --> 01:19:34,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the show earlier this week and we

1436
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:37,080
Speaker 1: kind of talked about the back and forth that had

1437
01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:40,080
Speaker 1: been going on between days and Kyer Elam, and Josh

1438
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,880
Speaker 1: kind of explained to us that Kayr Elam sits right

1439
01:19:42,920 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: next to him in the locker room here in fisher

1440
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: And training camp, and he said that guy is very

1441
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: confident in who he is, no doubt about it. If

1442
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:56,920
Speaker 1: that's the impression he's giving the quarterback of the football team,

1443
01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:00,880
Speaker 1: you know, I think you should feel good good that

1444
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 1: Kyer Elam believes in himself to the degree where he

1445
01:20:05,520 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 1: feels he can hang out there on the field with

1446
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,000
Speaker 1: anybody in this league. That's a good attitude to have

1447
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:16,120
Speaker 1: for Diggs because he might be like who is this rookie?

1448
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: Like who do you think you are? Um? But the

1449
01:20:19,360 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: fact remains he's going to be going against every other

1450
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:26,400
Speaker 1: team's Stefan Diggs every single week if he's in the

1451
01:20:26,479 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 1: starting lineup, UM, And most of the teams in the

1452
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:33,120
Speaker 1: league now have two really good receivers, if not three.

1453
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:37,559
Speaker 1: So you need that attitude just to survive out there

1454
01:20:37,560 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 1: at that position along with your God given talents. But

1455
01:20:40,800 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 1: it's a lot of there's a lot of attitude to

1456
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,840
Speaker 1: that too, and it was very encouraging to hear Josh

1457
01:20:45,920 --> 01:20:48,680
Speaker 1: describe him that way. He's very confident in who he

1458
01:20:49,040 --> 01:20:52,000
Speaker 1: is is what Josh said, Um, and watching the way

1459
01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: he performs out on the field and not backing down

1460
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,920
Speaker 1: as you said, makes it no surprise. Beth on the

1461
01:20:58,320 --> 01:21:01,000
Speaker 1: fan mail Bag says, more of question for players and

1462
01:21:01,080 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 1: coaches to answer, how much does it help that our

1463
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 1: offense is against the best D in the NFL and

1464
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:09,120
Speaker 1: practice in camp and vice versa r D against the

1465
01:21:09,200 --> 01:21:11,720
Speaker 1: offense in Allen's arm? How much does it add to

1466
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:14,519
Speaker 1: experience for our rookies, But we kind of answered it already.

1467
01:21:14,760 --> 01:21:17,000
Speaker 1: I mean, kye Elam gets to go up against Defon

1468
01:21:17,080 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: Diggs every day in practice. That's only going to make

1469
01:21:19,320 --> 01:21:22,479
Speaker 1: them better. And you could argue the same thing for

1470
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:25,759
Speaker 1: you know, people like James Cook trying to find decrease

1471
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: against the league's number one defense in football on a

1472
01:21:29,320 --> 01:21:33,280
Speaker 1: run play. It could be Terrell Bernard dropping into coverage

1473
01:21:33,320 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: and realizing that Josh Allen has a howarzer of an

1474
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:39,439
Speaker 1: arm and I better plaster in coverage or completions are

1475
01:21:39,439 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: going to be made against me. Yes, it unquestionably helps

1476
01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,519
Speaker 1: the rookies. I would argue it even helps For example,

1477
01:21:47,600 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: like we saw today, Maddie, you had four guys who

1478
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: really haven't been up with the starting unit on the

1479
01:21:53,200 --> 01:21:58,360
Speaker 1: offensive line in totality going against that first team defensive

1480
01:21:58,400 --> 01:22:01,240
Speaker 1: line today. You've got a whole lot of a dosa

1481
01:22:01,280 --> 01:22:03,320
Speaker 1: reality as to what you could be looking at if

1482
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:05,559
Speaker 1: you get into a game. Yeah, these are the reps

1483
01:22:05,640 --> 01:22:07,760
Speaker 1: that these guys need right now to be able to

1484
01:22:07,880 --> 01:22:11,760
Speaker 1: go up against somebody that is maybe wiser than you

1485
01:22:11,920 --> 01:22:17,560
Speaker 1: an experience, or who has played more starting snaps than you. Have.

1486
01:22:18,360 --> 01:22:19,960
Speaker 1: I think all in all, it's going to help you

1487
01:22:20,040 --> 01:22:21,640
Speaker 1: at the end of the day. And to have, like

1488
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: you said, the offensive line go up against our defensive line,

1489
01:22:25,479 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: guys who really haven't been in the fold there as

1490
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: much to start training camp. Those are learning experiences and

1491
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,880
Speaker 1: I Josh Allen was asked about. It might have been

1492
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:38,960
Speaker 1: Josher or one of the offensive players they were asked about.

1493
01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: It was Dion Dawkins about how, okay, the offense had

1494
01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:46,640
Speaker 1: had a great day two days ago, yesterday was an

1495
01:22:46,680 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: off day. Do you learn more from a great day

1496
01:22:50,400 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: of practice or from a practice that you guys don't

1497
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:56,519
Speaker 1: do as well? And he said, you know, we learned

1498
01:22:56,560 --> 01:22:59,040
Speaker 1: from both. But I think when you have an off day,

1499
01:22:59,560 --> 01:23:02,320
Speaker 1: you can go back and watch that film and correct

1500
01:23:02,439 --> 01:23:04,640
Speaker 1: what has happened, and then in turn you're hoping to

1501
01:23:04,760 --> 01:23:07,800
Speaker 1: have a good day of practice. And so the back

1502
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,280
Speaker 1: and forth right now I think has been really helpful

1503
01:23:10,360 --> 01:23:12,320
Speaker 1: for this team. It's not like one side of the

1504
01:23:12,400 --> 01:23:15,760
Speaker 1: ball has been completely dominating through the first five practices.

1505
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: I think if we saw that, maybe we'd be a

1506
01:23:18,760 --> 01:23:22,240
Speaker 1: little bit um curious as to why. But to have

1507
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 1: both of those sides of the football each shine and

1508
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:28,840
Speaker 1: each pop in different ways, and to have some of

1509
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:31,280
Speaker 1: the rookies stand out against some of the starters I

1510
01:23:31,360 --> 01:23:34,920
Speaker 1: think has also been promising. You you mentioned James Cook,

1511
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakier has had a really nice camp so far.

1512
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 1: Even starters who need to prove themselves this season to

1513
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 1: have success against the defense that we have has show's

1514
01:23:48,800 --> 01:23:53,000
Speaker 1: promise is really great for players like Isaiah McKenzie, who's

1515
01:23:53,040 --> 01:23:56,240
Speaker 1: been a standout in the first five days of camp.

1516
01:23:56,960 --> 01:24:01,160
Speaker 1: So competition, hopefully what comes out of it is a

1517
01:24:01,240 --> 01:24:04,439
Speaker 1: better team on each side of the football. Let's get

1518
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:06,719
Speaker 1: to some NFL True false brought to you by Yancy's

1519
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,360
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's artist in Cheese, and we begin with

1520
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:13,720
Speaker 1: NFL True false Number one. The strongest position group on

1521
01:24:13,840 --> 01:24:19,400
Speaker 1: the Bills is their secondary? True or false? What do

1522
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:25,680
Speaker 1: you think this is really tough? Their secondary? In a way,

1523
01:24:25,760 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 1: it's a little unfair because you're counting two position groups. Yeah,

1524
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:32,719
Speaker 1: I would say if since you're counting two position groups,

1525
01:24:32,760 --> 01:24:37,040
Speaker 1: I would say true, Okay, they're the position group. I

1526
01:24:37,160 --> 01:24:41,320
Speaker 1: look at the safeties have been together the longest. Are

1527
01:24:41,360 --> 01:24:44,640
Speaker 1: we counting Trey is healthy in this? Yeah? That's a

1528
01:24:44,720 --> 01:24:50,599
Speaker 1: good question. Um, Yeah, I mean, I guess yes, because

1529
01:24:50,600 --> 01:24:55,840
Speaker 1: he's expected back at some point this year, so I

1530
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:59,559
Speaker 1: would say yeah, so I think they's healthy, I'd say,

1531
01:25:00,000 --> 01:25:02,679
Speaker 1: you'd say true. Yeah. I think the only position group

1532
01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:04,120
Speaker 1: that really gives him a run at it is the

1533
01:25:04,240 --> 01:25:09,839
Speaker 1: defensive line. They are stacked not only with proven veteran players,

1534
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:14,320
Speaker 1: but some high draft choices. You know ed Oliver, greg Russo,

1535
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,160
Speaker 1: even Boogie Bashman was the second round pick. I think

1536
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 1: that's the only position group that gives them a run

1537
01:25:21,040 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: for their money. And Von Millick like, just to be different,

1538
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:33,519
Speaker 1: I'll say false and say defensive line NFL true false.

1539
01:25:33,760 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: Number two, if Deshaun Watson has suspended, the Browns should

1540
01:25:37,920 --> 01:25:42,160
Speaker 1: sign Cam Newton. I may be jaded to this answer

1541
01:25:42,280 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: because I'm a Cam Newton fan and I still want

1542
01:25:45,439 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: him to have another opportunity, so I will say true.

1543
01:25:50,200 --> 01:25:52,320
Speaker 1: I just want Cam Newton to be Kim Newton again.

1544
01:25:52,320 --> 01:25:54,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if that's ever going to happen, but

1545
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:58,599
Speaker 1: I'm i'm I'm, I'm on his tier squad, all right.

1546
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,400
Speaker 1: I'll give you a pass because as you're on his

1547
01:26:00,479 --> 01:26:03,280
Speaker 1: cheer squad, I am running one hundred miles an hour

1548
01:26:03,320 --> 01:26:06,400
Speaker 1: in the other direction on this one. I Cam Newton

1549
01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:09,400
Speaker 1: couldn't play anymore two years ago with the Patriots, were

1550
01:26:09,439 --> 01:26:12,160
Speaker 1: two years removed from that. No way, Jose for me,

1551
01:26:12,920 --> 01:26:15,559
Speaker 1: I'm going false on this one. I'm sorry. I don't

1552
01:26:15,600 --> 01:26:18,640
Speaker 1: think you're gonna see that Cam Newton ever again. Unfortunately

1553
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:24,000
Speaker 1: his body, his body succumbed to father time. Unfortunately for him.

1554
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:27,439
Speaker 1: That is NFL true false. We need to take a break,

1555
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,439
Speaker 1: but Manny and I will wrap things up next here

1556
01:26:29,479 --> 01:26:32,479
Speaker 1: on a Friday at Bill's training camp on One Bill's Live,

1557
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:52,040
Speaker 1: presented by Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All Right,

1558
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:54,639
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Maddie Glad

1559
01:26:54,720 --> 01:26:56,760
Speaker 1: with you here on a Friday at Bill's training camp.

1560
01:26:56,960 --> 01:27:02,200
Speaker 1: And we've seen over the years, Maddie and sports athletes

1561
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:07,160
Speaker 1: changing their name Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, lu Al

1562
01:27:07,280 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: Sinder to Kareem abdul Jabbar, World b free ron Our

1563
01:27:12,680 --> 01:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Tests to Metaworld Peace. I've seen a bunch of times.

1564
01:27:17,960 --> 01:27:20,840
Speaker 1: This one may take the cake. It might be the

1565
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 1: most subtle name change we have ever seen in our lives.

1566
01:27:23,600 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 1: Panther's wide receiver Robbie Anderson apparently told reporters today at

1567
01:27:28,920 --> 01:27:32,599
Speaker 1: Carolina training camp that he will now be going by

1568
01:27:33,080 --> 01:27:37,960
Speaker 1: Robbie r R b I E r r bb I

1569
01:27:38,080 --> 01:27:43,080
Speaker 1: E instead of robb Y as he previously spelled it.

1570
01:27:44,040 --> 01:27:47,160
Speaker 1: When asked for an explanation as to why this change

1571
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:51,640
Speaker 1: is taking place, he said, quote, I kind of like

1572
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:54,600
Speaker 1: how it looks. It's better on paper with the I

1573
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,720
Speaker 1: E at the end. That's what it was when I

1574
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:03,720
Speaker 1: wore number three two. Um, I have no answer to this. Now.

1575
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:06,920
Speaker 1: I know you experienced the why an I E issue

1576
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:10,720
Speaker 1: with Maddie a lot. I feel you, Robbie, because I

1577
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,200
Speaker 1: like why because of how it looks. I don't like

1578
01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: I E. I like M A D D why versus

1579
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,599
Speaker 1: m add I E. Just just looks smoother on paper.

1580
01:28:19,680 --> 01:28:21,360
Speaker 1: It was less words when I was a kid, so

1581
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,920
Speaker 1: I wanted less words or less letters when I wrote

1582
01:28:24,960 --> 01:28:28,120
Speaker 1: my name. Yeah. I wonder if this is a symmetry thing,

1583
01:28:28,160 --> 01:28:30,679
Speaker 1: because he now has two letters before the two bees

1584
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: and two letters after the two bees. But for those

1585
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:40,600
Speaker 1: in the know, it is Robbie robb I E. Anderson

1586
01:28:40,720 --> 01:28:46,400
Speaker 1: for the Carolina Panther's receiver duly noted, Robbie Anderson, My god,

1587
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:48,600
Speaker 1: I don't I don't know if there's another thing that

1588
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:51,080
Speaker 1: would make you feel so compelled to talk to the

1589
01:28:51,160 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 1: media about, but that was high on Robbie Anderson's list.

1590
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,880
Speaker 1: Good for him, Maddie, thanks for helping us out here

1591
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: on a Friday. Bills are out on the practice field tomorrow,

1592
01:29:00,920 --> 01:29:04,000
Speaker 1: ninety five practice. It is open to the public, all

1593
01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:07,240
Speaker 1: the tickets accounted for. We will be back myself and

1594
01:29:07,360 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 1: Steve on Monday at one pm. We will see you

1595
01:29:10,320 --> 01:29:10,360
Speaker 1: the
