1
00:00:06,760 --> 00:00:10,520
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,200
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: players for Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,800 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: the strategyre of normalcy here. Good Wednesday afternoon Bills fans,

5
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you on a Wednesday edition

6
00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: of one Bills Live. Kind of a lighter day for

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:37,720
Speaker 1: the players on the practice field is they essentially had

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:41,200
Speaker 1: like a walk through slash jog through. So nothing earth

9
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: shattering at practice today, but we do have some interesting

10
00:00:44,520 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 1: comments across the board from both coach McDermott, aj Epinessa

11
00:00:50,720 --> 00:00:54,160
Speaker 1: and one Terren Johnson, Buffalo's Nicol Corner. We'll get to

12
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: all of those through the course of today's show. Coming

13
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,560
Speaker 1: up at one we will have Dolphins beat reporter al

14
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,399
Speaker 1: Armando Salguero, so he'll be with us at one in

15
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: trepid reporter for them. Also a columnist down there still

16
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: to Miami Herald, right, yeah, radio dot com and Radio

17
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:17,759
Speaker 1: dot com correct, you gotta remember that multifaceted. And then

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: coming up at two pm is is our own colleague,

19
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: one Maddie Glab who's been out at every practice thus far,

20
00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:27,640
Speaker 1: so we'll get her thoughts on what she's seen to

21
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:31,559
Speaker 1: this point and maybe some fun stuff that she's working

22
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: on with some of the off the field features that

23
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,480
Speaker 1: appear on Buffalo bills dot Com. I know she had

24
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,640
Speaker 1: an opportunity to talk to a JP Andsa today one

25
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:41,440
Speaker 1: on one, so be interested to get her thoughts on that.

26
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: And so we'll be bringing all of that to you

27
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: over the course of the next three hours as we

28
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: do have a jam packed show. And you know, you

29
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:54,480
Speaker 1: think about where the team is going here, Steve with

30
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: respect to the training camp practices, and you know they

31
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 1: back off today after two days in pads. Totally get that.

32
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,320
Speaker 1: I believe they're supposed to be some kind of intrat

33
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 1: squad scrimmage tomorrow, so you understand why they back off today,

34
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,760
Speaker 1: kind of save the bodies knowing they'll be probably hitting

35
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: a little bit harder tomorrow. Who knows, they may even

36
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: have some live segments tomorrow. We'll have to just wait

37
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 1: and see. But it's certainly interesting to know. You know,

38
00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: with each passing day, we're getting closer to real football.

39
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,399
Speaker 1: It seems like it's taken forever for us. I don't

40
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 1: know some of the players, have you been asked, but

41
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,560
Speaker 1: even been asked about this. I know Harrison Phillips, who

42
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:38,920
Speaker 1: was made available to the media yesterday, said yeah, like,

43
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: normally we've already played a preseason game by now, and

44
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:45,440
Speaker 1: today would be the day we'd be packing up and

45
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 1: coming home from training camp and resuming at one Bill's Drive.

46
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: Maybe if the game was it was scheduled, was a

47
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,560
Speaker 1: scheduled Thursday the second preseason game, or was it a

48
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 1: Friday game. I'm not sure they'd be getting ready to

49
00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: you know, travel tune up for another game. Yeah, they'd

50
00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:03,239
Speaker 1: be getting ready for game number two. Uh. And it

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: it's just and now we've got daily we've got a

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 1: lot bunch of as you mentioned, we've got a bunch

53
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: of sound bites today from aj Epeneza spoke today. So

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: everything's just so different and we're still getting used to it.

55
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: I mean, we're this the first time through. You know,

56
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: it's like thirty some training camps that I've been through

57
00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: through thirty plus years of training camps. I've been through nothing,

58
00:03:25,480 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 1: there's nothing like this. We're all new at this, and

59
00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: it's it's we're getting it in dribs and drabs of

60
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: of what we can what we can use, what we

61
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: can't use and all that stuff. So it's it's interesting

62
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: to hear from these young players this year because even

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: the answers to their questions, you know, they're getting completely

64
00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: different questions than you would normally get in a training camp,

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I mean it's like, how's

66
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: this going, what's this doing? And because they're gonna get

67
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:55,280
Speaker 1: pandemic questions, how are you adjusting? What was the virtual offseason?

68
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: Like you know, all those us things. They ask them

69
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: stuff about what's going on because we can't watch, you know.

70
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:04,760
Speaker 1: I mean, they're getting questions like, well, you know, who

71
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: are you going to? As vans are wondering. Yeah, it's

72
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: it's like something's happening or you're hearing about it, you

73
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: can't see it. It's the strangest thing, particularly in this

74
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 1: day and age, but everything's on camera these days, so

75
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: it's it's really weird, not only for for us covering

76
00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 1: the game, but obviously for the players and the young

77
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: players too. The veterans, of course, it's completely different in

78
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,800
Speaker 1: some ways. In some ways, they're probably liking it a

79
00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: little better. Interesting question that coach got asked because you

80
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:34,080
Speaker 1: if you remember last week when John Brown was made

81
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: available to the media. He was very impressed with the

82
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: two rookie receivers, Gabe Davis and Isaiah Hodgins, and he

83
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: went so far as to say, they know the playbook

84
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 1: better than any rookies we've I've ever been around. Remember. So,

85
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 1: So someone followed up with Coach today and asked him, Hey,

86
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:00,240
Speaker 1: you know, what are your impressions of these rookie receivers.

87
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,680
Speaker 1: Smoke said blah blah blah blah blah about them, and

88
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: Coach kind of smiled and he's like, yeah, um, I

89
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,839
Speaker 1: think John was being overly nice. I was like, Oh,

90
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: the rookies aren't getting get too much praise just yet

91
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: from the head Coach. Pump the brakes on. Let's pump

92
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:24,440
Speaker 1: the brakes there. I laughed out loud when I heard

93
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:30,479
Speaker 1: that answer. I was like, Oh, there's coach, there's so yeah.

94
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,360
Speaker 1: It was good to it's being nice to see the

95
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 1: difference in the characterization of how the rookies are faring.

96
00:05:37,920 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: You know, I do remember from back on Monday when

97
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis was participating. You know, there was a play

98
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: where it was pretty evident halfway through his route that

99
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,159
Speaker 1: he wasn't sure and I I couldn't tell, you know,

100
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:53,000
Speaker 1: whether it was a sight of just situation or whatever.

101
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:55,599
Speaker 1: Whatever the play was, he kind of got a little

102
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 1: crossed up and it just looked he hesitated at the

103
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,880
Speaker 1: top of his route and it's coach, you know, Coach

104
00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: Hall's talking to him after and that kind of stuff.

105
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: But those are the things that you know are going

106
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: to crop up for and you know, people are like, oh, yeah,

107
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 1: you knows the playbook backwards and forwards, but out on

108
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 1: the field it's different, you know, like those physical reps,

109
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 1: and that's why you give it. Give it to them

110
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: so they can master it on the field. It's great

111
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,880
Speaker 1: if you can master it in the classroom, but it

112
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 1: really matters about mastering it on the field. Mastering the

113
00:06:25,160 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: in the classroom is light years easier because even and

114
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:31,680
Speaker 1: even if you don't learn that way, the time it

115
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: takes you to recite what you're supposed to do on

116
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:40,120
Speaker 1: a route is ten times slower than you have to

117
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:42,200
Speaker 1: think about it and do it on the field. That's

118
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 1: a snap of a finger, right, You have to do

119
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: it and know it in a snap of a finger.

120
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: Not to mention the fact that the defensive back may

121
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: not play you the way it's drawn up in the book.

122
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: They may throw a curveball at you, right, you have

123
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: to and their adjustments. You're supposed to do this. If

124
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:58,360
Speaker 1: they do if they do that, you do this. If

125
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: if they do this, you do that kind of scenario,

126
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 1: and it happens a lot. Is particularly for slot receivers

127
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 1: where it's a read route and you read what the

128
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 1: defense does and you do this and if they do

129
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: if they do that, you do something else. And you

130
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: imagine how fast that moves. When you had a bunch

131
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:17,920
Speaker 1: of guys that run four three out there and they're

132
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: and they're going, and it can be intimidating because as

133
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: as a young receiver, you know, you better be on

134
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:25,760
Speaker 1: the same page as your quarterback, otherwise it could be

135
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: a pick going the other way. Yeah, you don't want

136
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 1: to make your quarterbacks bad. I mean, you know, Josh Allen,

137
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, whoever it is, you know those guys, Yeah,

138
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 1: because you don't really need to get chewed out. Josh

139
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: Allen's probably not that kind of guy. But when you

140
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: get some of these veteran quarterbacks Philip Rivers, Ben Roethlisberger,

141
00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:49,720
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, Boomerissias and some of these guys that what

142
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 1: the hell are you doing right right? You're wishing, you're

143
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,280
Speaker 1: hoping that that's not what you're here. You're hoping that

144
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: the head coach choose you out instead of the quarterback,

145
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: because the quarterback I see another the quarterback, I say,

146
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're in the game. I you

147
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: know you can run that route? Really well, you ain't

148
00:08:04,920 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 1: getting it? Yeah, you know, don't even look at me.

149
00:08:09,240 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: I'm because I'm not looking at you. I love that.

150
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:15,560
Speaker 1: It's true, It's true and so and it comes at you.

151
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 1: It's that like that ad campaign. I even know who

152
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: it is for life comes at you fast. The NFL

153
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 1: comes at you at light speed. It's it's faster than

154
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 1: fast and you it's for me. That was the biggest

155
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,640
Speaker 1: adjustment I had to make as a professional football player

156
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: was how much I did not know about football. And

157
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: that's you just gotta catch up. You gotta catch up

158
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: as quick as you can. There was a part of

159
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 1: me that openly wondered, you know, we're hearing all these

160
00:08:40,720 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: great things about this rookie class, and I'm sure you know,

161
00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,120
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to take anything away from their work ethic,

162
00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: which you know that this personnel department, in the college

163
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: scouting department drills down on hard like do these guys

164
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: are they self motivated, that they have a natural work ethic,

165
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. They drilled down on that to

166
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: the finest grains of detail. But I also wonder if

167
00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: there was a there was a hidden benefit to this

168
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 1: pandemic this offseason. From this standpoint, only you've got rookies, okay,

169
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 1: no OTAs, no mini camp in June, really no rookie

170
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: camp after getting drafted, you know where it's three days

171
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 1: of almost one on one attention from your coaching staff,

172
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,480
Speaker 1: where you're doing things physically on the field and in

173
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 1: the classroom. And that's all wiped out. And these these

174
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: rookies had to learn virtually and put their nose in

175
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: their books. Limited distractions. You know, you're not you're not

176
00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: going out and carousing at night and catching COVID. You're

177
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: not doing that. So you're pretty much hold up wherever

178
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: you are. You've got nothing to do but study your playbook.

179
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,960
Speaker 1: I wonder if it just narrowed the focus all the

180
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: more to kind of pound the book all the more.

181
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,200
Speaker 1: And maybe that's why a guy like smoke as saying, well,

182
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: these rookies really know there's stuff because yeah, there was,

183
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,240
Speaker 1: quite frankly, nothing else for them to do but study

184
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: the playbook. But they're all they're all different. Some of

185
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,679
Speaker 1: them probably was a benefit, others it probably was not,

186
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:14,600
Speaker 1: because that's not the way they learn how to play football, right,

187
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,199
Speaker 1: and the physical, physical learner as opposed to a mental learner.

188
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 1: I hate to be big picture cynical guy. The biggest

189
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: benefit for these rookies in the fact they're only going

190
00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: to cut eleven of these eighty guys, and a lot

191
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 1: of those cuts are gonna be guys that, listen, he

192
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: couldn't stay healthy last year and he's struggling through camp

193
00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 1: this year. He's done. This guy's like listen to he's okay.

194
00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 1: But we got we're strong at that position, and quite frankly,

195
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,640
Speaker 1: we could use the cap. Yeah, so thanks for stopping by. Uh,

196
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,920
Speaker 1: there's you know, guys who are veterans, who are who

197
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: are redundant. You know what, We'll keep the young guy

198
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,840
Speaker 1: because he's got a high end that we don't know about.

199
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,079
Speaker 1: Got a high end and he's not a rookie salary, right,

200
00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: So on all this and our caps only won seventy

201
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: five point nine next year, and all the stuff we

202
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: say this year can be rolled rolled over your cap,

203
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: so we can instead of having one hundred and seventy

204
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,040
Speaker 1: five million dollars cap, our team ostensibly has two hundred

205
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: and five. You can very kind of thing. You could

206
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,679
Speaker 1: very easily make the argument there are going to be

207
00:11:11,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: more business decisions in terms of the bottom line this

208
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: year than maybe any other training camp. But the provided

209
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: you know your team is in a healthy cap situation,

210
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: even in a healthy cap situation for this year, you're

211
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: gonna have GM's already making business decisions knowing the shortfall

212
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 1: that exists next year. But getting to your point about

213
00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,319
Speaker 1: the rookies, maybe this pandemic was a benefit. The real

214
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 1: benefit is the fact that now the practice squad sixteen

215
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:41,080
Speaker 1: guys and the ross you know, and there's no limits

216
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,920
Speaker 1: on who you can put on it right like you

217
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: used to be. You know, you can have a couple

218
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,760
Speaker 1: of exceptions for third year players, but it's mostly first

219
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: and second year players that's out the window now too, right,

220
00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 1: So that's a big benefit. I think you're gonna have

221
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: sixty nine guys available week seventy if Christian wads and

222
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 1: seventy I of Christian Waits on the squad. So it's uh.

223
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest benefit that this pandemic has

224
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: because they're just gonna be more jobs, more slots for

225
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: guys to hang in there, particularly the young guys who

226
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: show enough that the coaches said, you know what, not today,

227
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 1: but i'll tell you what, by week eight, we might

228
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: want to give this kid a look on the field,

229
00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So that that's and this staff,

230
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,360
Speaker 1: we've talked about it a bunch. Player development, player developments big,

231
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,199
Speaker 1: and it's real for this staff. So I think that's

232
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,840
Speaker 1: a huge benefit. All right. So the main reason that

233
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: we do have Armando Salguero coming on later in the

234
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: show is because we do have an AFC East angle

235
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: to today's Twitter poll, which is as follows, what's the

236
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: most interesting quarterback situation when it comes to the Bills

237
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: AFC East opponents? Is it a fits or two in Miami?

238
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: Is it be Cam's transition with the Pat's offense? Or

239
00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: see will Sam Darnold raise his in year three four

240
00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:06,640
Speaker 1: the Jets. The early returns thus far have the Cam

241
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 1: Newton situation out in front, and it's only going to

242
00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 1: be enhanced by this news Mike Reese, who's the ESPN

243
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: reporter up in Boston and does a great job covering

244
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 1: the Patriots. He wrote a piece on how the possibility

245
00:13:25,200 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: could exist for a platoon situation at quarterback in New England,

246
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: and I think this is something that could very easily

247
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: have legs Steve, because all all indications, at least in

248
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,960
Speaker 1: the early going is Cam's behind, which you know, you

249
00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 1: understand that it makes sense. What did he signed three

250
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: weeks ago? So he's behind in terms of the learning

251
00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 1: curve and learning a new scheme. I mean, he's largely

252
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: been in one scheme his entire career in Carolina. Now

253
00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: he's got to learn a new one. And dollars to donuts,

254
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 1: I'm willing to bet it's pretty complex and voluminous with

255
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels and everything he was able to incorporate into

256
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,920
Speaker 1: the scheme over the course of twenty years with Tom Brady.

257
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: So keeping that in mind, I think there's a learning

258
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: curve here that Cam Newton's got to travel that Jared

259
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:20,240
Speaker 1: Stidham has already traveled. He did that last year, you know,

260
00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: and he knows it backwards and forwards. Even Brian Hoyer

261
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:26,400
Speaker 1: who's the third string Quarterback's been there on two separate

262
00:14:26,440 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: occasions in that scheme. He's been in that building a

263
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,120
Speaker 1: couple of times, so he knows it. You're right, and

264
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:38,960
Speaker 1: I think it for me, it's absolutely given they're going

265
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 1: to play more than one quarterback, particularly on opening Day. Well,

266
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,520
Speaker 1: and this is the other thing, and Mike Reece mentioned

267
00:14:44,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: this in his piece. I thought it was a very

268
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 1: astute point. Coach Belichick his history in terms of how

269
00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:54,360
Speaker 1: he coaches the first month of the season. He will

270
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,240
Speaker 1: try a myriad of combinations at different position groups on

271
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball, on special team through those

272
00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 1: first four weeks of the season, because as much as

273
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: the preseason has some value for coaches, it doesn't represent

274
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: true value in the eyes of Belichick, and so he

275
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: will spend the first four games of the year tinkering

276
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: with roster and player combinations out on the field to

277
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 1: get a better sense of what he truly has on

278
00:15:20,680 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: his roster and absent the preseason, there's a strong likelihood

279
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 1: that that tinkering carries into week five, six, maybe seven,

280
00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:34,440
Speaker 1: when you consider all the turnover that that roster has

281
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,720
Speaker 1: undergone in New England, I think you can make a

282
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:41,560
Speaker 1: very real prediction if Belichick could be tinkering with things

283
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: week six, week seven, like, still nothing set in stone

284
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:48,440
Speaker 1: for certain things. Granted, he will gain plan for the

285
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: opponent that week and put his team in the best

286
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: position to win. But if he can move some chess

287
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: pieces around to see if something works better than maybe

288
00:15:56,920 --> 00:16:00,240
Speaker 1: what worked last week, you better you better believe he's

289
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: gonna do that. And I think the quarterback position is

290
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: included in that. Oh absolutely, there's no question. You don't

291
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,360
Speaker 1: know what the New England Patriots are gonna look like

292
00:16:09,360 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 1: on opening day. Nobody's gonna know they're gonna You're not

293
00:16:11,560 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 1: even gonna know who's opening I'm gonna take the opening snap,

294
00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:16,920
Speaker 1: and there's I don't think there's any question that Bill

295
00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Belichick is gonna use Cam Newton's vast array of athleticism

296
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: and skill sets to get on the field and run

297
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,920
Speaker 1: with the football, throw the football, um, run the option,

298
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: play the read. I mean, all that stuff is on

299
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: the table they'll be doing. They'll be They may have

300
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: run the wishbone for all I you know, a wing

301
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 1: t for all I know. Who knows. They may pull

302
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: all of that stuff out for a guy like Cam Newton,

303
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 1: particularly in a year where nobody has any idea what

304
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 1: you're gonna look like. Tom Brady set the standard. You

305
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get with Tom Brady. Uh And

306
00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 1: certainly the scheme and the and the emphasis and the things,

307
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:54,520
Speaker 1: you know, places he looks to go with the football

308
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,840
Speaker 1: are all different week to week. But you know, Tom

309
00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 1: Brady's a dropped back quarterback. Cam Newton's not. Jared Stidham

310
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,359
Speaker 1: is a little bit more like Tom Brady. Brian Hoyers

311
00:17:04,400 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: a little bit more like that. But you know that

312
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:11,320
Speaker 1: the Patriots are gonna do the most unexpected stuff because

313
00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,919
Speaker 1: that's where they make their hay. They do what you

314
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 1: aren't prepared for to defend. Nobody knows what's going to

315
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,480
Speaker 1: look like on week one, and it's probably gonna change

316
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: week to week. At least through the first third of

317
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 1: the season, it's likely to be the case. The most

318
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,280
Speaker 1: compelling question with respect to the two of fits thing

319
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 1: is when when does the change happen. I think most

320
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 1: people are of the belief that at the outset of

321
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the season it's going to be Ryan Fitzpatrick at quarterback

322
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: for them. You know, if he lays an egg week one,

323
00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,119
Speaker 1: do the Bill C two in week two? Probably not.

324
00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 1: You're not going to throw two a tagavloa against a

325
00:17:46,560 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: top five defense in the Bills in week two, are you.

326
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 1: I mean, he's got to be lighting it up in

327
00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: training camp to do that well. And I think, and

328
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: tell me if you disagree with this, Steve, I think,

329
00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: with the absence of pre season games, I wouldn't be

330
00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:07,639
Speaker 1: surprised if coach flores Is has pushed back right the

331
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: time where he think it might where he thinks it

332
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:14,320
Speaker 1: may be right to consider too as a starter. I

333
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: get through a preseason, has a couple of good performances,

334
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:22,040
Speaker 1: maybe the hook on fits is a little quicker earlier

335
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: in the season if things go the wrong way. No

336
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,199
Speaker 1: preseason games to see two or let him get his

337
00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 1: feet wet to the speed of the NFL game, right,

338
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: Probably waiting longer, aren't you. There's two factors at play,

339
00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: One how good Fitz is playing, and two what their

340
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 1: win loss record. Is. If they're winning, they're go three

341
00:18:38,560 --> 00:18:41,080
Speaker 1: and one in the first four, they'll just wait, you know.

342
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,440
Speaker 1: If it's two and two, okay, we'll see, and then

343
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,000
Speaker 1: one and three, it's like, what are we waiting on?

344
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:50,480
Speaker 1: You know? What I'm saying. I think it's as much

345
00:18:50,480 --> 00:18:53,840
Speaker 1: to do with their win loss record and where the

346
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:57,320
Speaker 1: season is, more so than even how Fitz is playing.

347
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,040
Speaker 1: Fitz could be playing well. I don't think they'll take

348
00:19:01,119 --> 00:19:02,679
Speaker 1: him out if he's playing well, But if he's not

349
00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: lightening up, or if he's you know, if he's not

350
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,200
Speaker 1: the reason they're winning, why not make the change? And

351
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: of course then that you know how TA is. I mean,

352
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: you got to think two is who he is, who

353
00:19:13,200 --> 00:19:15,840
Speaker 1: we've seen him be in the college level. Certainly there'll

354
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: be some growing pains and some acclamation process, but I

355
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 1: think it has as much to do with their win

356
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: loss record and how Fits is playing that when TA

357
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: gets in there, as much as it does their timetable

358
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,080
Speaker 1: or how TA even looks in the preseason. There's no

359
00:19:33,119 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: reason to throw him in there to the Wolves in

360
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:39,960
Speaker 1: a year when you're playing the NFC West. And we'll discuss,

361
00:19:40,240 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, the Jets situation with Darnold and the step

362
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: that he has to take with still not a ton

363
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: of help around him. We'll get into that a little

364
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: bit later in the show, because we did promise that

365
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,120
Speaker 1: we were going to get to some comments from coach McDermot,

366
00:19:51,160 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: who address the media this morning, and we want to

367
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: do that here, so we'll lead off with this. Coach

368
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 1: was asked about aj Epenessa and how he's coming along,

369
00:20:02,200 --> 00:20:07,880
Speaker 1: and coach shared that Aj is being given the added

370
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,520
Speaker 1: responsibility of learning multiple spots along the team's defensive front.

371
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: Let's listen to that. You know, I thought he got

372
00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: off to a nice start, Maddie in terms of playing

373
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 1: a couple different positions, and so really what he's challenged

374
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,720
Speaker 1: with right now is being able to digest all that

375
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,959
Speaker 1: information as the volume has added up, so that he

376
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: can that he can play fast and really pin his

377
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: ears back. And that's that's what we're working on right now.

378
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,600
Speaker 1: So and we'll hear from Aj later in the show

379
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: because he addresses specifically where he's lining up. I mean,

380
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 1: he basically said today he's lining up all across the

381
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: defensive front. And I think we had an idea that

382
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:53,520
Speaker 1: that was likely to happen provided he could show the

383
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,280
Speaker 1: ability to handle all of that responsibility in terms of

384
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: position assignments and the like, not to mention that he

385
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: can perform at all those positions effectively, because even after

386
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,960
Speaker 1: he was drafted, Brandon being said Yes, this is a

387
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,640
Speaker 1: guy that plays on the edge but can reduce down

388
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,960
Speaker 1: and he did that at Iowa. I mean he rushed

389
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: from an interior position a good deal at Iowa, even

390
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 1: though he was technically a defensive end. They would you

391
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,639
Speaker 1: reduce him down and pat obvious passing downs and he

392
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: would rush from an inside position. So to hear that

393
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: they've already thrown that on his plate, I think says

394
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:33,280
Speaker 1: two things. Number one, it speaks to the mental acuity

395
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: that they believe AJ has as a player. And number two,

396
00:21:38,440 --> 00:21:43,520
Speaker 1: I think it's it's speaking to the diversity of looks

397
00:21:44,560 --> 00:21:47,199
Speaker 1: that coach Fraser is hoping he can go into this

398
00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: season with. When you have a rookie like AJ, and

399
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 1: I know he's the top pick and there's a lot

400
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: to be expected to him. This is a lot to

401
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:57,080
Speaker 1: put on a rookies plate, though, isn't it. I know,

402
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:00,280
Speaker 1: defensive line is not a super cerebral position and like

403
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: tight end or quarterback or or even wide receiver um,

404
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: but still at all that that's a lot on a

405
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: rookie's plate, isn't it. Yeah, Because it gets down to

406
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,640
Speaker 1: even the nitty gritties of which pan do you put

407
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:14,680
Speaker 1: on the ground on which situation, that kind of stuff.

408
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,919
Speaker 1: But on the end, he certainly has the physical you know,

409
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,520
Speaker 1: the body to play down inside, which is big. Which

410
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: is a big deal because if you if you take

411
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:25,879
Speaker 1: a defensive end, even like they did last year with

412
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,720
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander, they could do that with him once in

413
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:31,920
Speaker 1: a while, and Jerry Hughes liked it because Lorenzo had

414
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: some some mobility. But what are you gonna do if

415
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 1: they hand it off up inside and you got a

416
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:40,160
Speaker 1: two hundred and thirty pound linebacker standing in there trying

417
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,640
Speaker 1: to rush the passer and it's not a pass. Uh,

418
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:45,920
Speaker 1: You give up a third and six on a simple handoff.

419
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,040
Speaker 1: So you need a body who can, you know, stand

420
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:51,440
Speaker 1: up to the to the guard and hold the line

421
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,440
Speaker 1: of scrimmage. All that stuff gives you the versatility and

422
00:22:55,680 --> 00:22:58,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be big. I mean, I can't We've talked

423
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: about it at length that the combinations of what personnel

424
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:06,480
Speaker 1: they have on the field, it's gonna be an evolving

425
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: I think through the first month of the season up front,

426
00:23:09,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: at least from the outset here, it seems almost limitless,

427
00:23:13,560 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 1: right when you think about all the guys that can

428
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,919
Speaker 1: play multiple spots on that D line. I mean, I

429
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: even remember Trent Murphy kicking inside a few times last year.

430
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: It's from an inside position. It's limitless. But that doesn't

431
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: mean one combination is as good as the other. They're gonna,

432
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna, that's right, follow it closely until they find

433
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 1: the best four guys who every time they're in there,

434
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,040
Speaker 1: something good happens. And it might not be the best

435
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,399
Speaker 1: four players. It just might be four guys that play

436
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: off of one another exceptionally exactly. And you know that's

437
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 1: why Harrison Phillips is not the great pass rusher, but

438
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: that guy was on the number one pass rushing crew

439
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: last year at the beginning of the season because of

440
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,160
Speaker 1: his ability to get the guys in the right spots

441
00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:55,399
Speaker 1: and pass rushing games he'd call the games. And that's big.

442
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,600
Speaker 1: Getting guys in the right spots is as important as

443
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:02,440
Speaker 1: having great players. We've seen that for years and years

444
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:07,239
Speaker 1: in New England. You know, they the right combination is

445
00:24:07,359 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: really the holy grail what they're looking for, because they've

446
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:11,880
Speaker 1: got to believe they've got enough talent in the room

447
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: to get it done exactly the way they want to

448
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: get it done. Now they've got to maximize it and

449
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: that's that comes down to Leslie Frazier and the rest

450
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,920
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff. Speaking of development, coach McDermott was

451
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:27,640
Speaker 1: asked about Josh's year three development and how here here's

452
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:31,680
Speaker 1: the thing. He was basically asked, you know, the national perspective,

453
00:24:31,760 --> 00:24:36,960
Speaker 1: the narrative is the season hinges on how much Josh

454
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 1: can advanced his game in year three. So coach was

455
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,919
Speaker 1: asked to reflect on that narrative and explain where he

456
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:50,440
Speaker 1: feels Josh's development is going into twenty twenty. It's been

457
00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:52,920
Speaker 1: been fun to watch Josh put in the work in

458
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:57,320
Speaker 1: the off seasons to grow his game, develop his game,

459
00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,760
Speaker 1: polish his game. It's all has been fun to watch

460
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: him grow as a leader on our football team. Um.

461
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: And and also I would say get to know Josh

462
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,880
Speaker 1: even more. Obviously we felt like we unearthed a lot

463
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: of who he was going through the draft process, but

464
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: until you're around people multiple years, you really don't know

465
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: him as well as you as well as you want to.

466
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,719
Speaker 1: And so now in year three, um, you know, just

467
00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: seeing him grow as a young man on and off

468
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: the field has been been fun to watch. And um,

469
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's He's highly competitive. As I mentioned earlier,

470
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:38,040
Speaker 1: with some of those defensive players, Josh's Josh is very similar.

471
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: He has that that mindset as we've all seen on

472
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,920
Speaker 1: the football field, and he's competitive to the point um

473
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 1: that he wants to continue to grow his game just

474
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 1: as much as anyone. So that's where it is. I mean,

475
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,120
Speaker 1: I think everybody's encouraged by the early returns in terms

476
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: of what he's shown on the field, I still think

477
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,879
Speaker 1: we have to take this with a great an assault. Also,

478
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: we heard Cole Beasley yesterday talking about how Josh is

479
00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 1: attempting throws that he wouldn't have even tried last year.

480
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: I think that's a sign of his confidence of where

481
00:26:10,040 --> 00:26:13,960
Speaker 1: his game is at. Second, that he's throwing receivers open,

482
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: I think that shows a step that he's made in

483
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 1: the anticipatory throwing part of his game. But working against

484
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: that is the fact that he's going against a top

485
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,159
Speaker 1: five defense and a top three pass defense each of

486
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: the last two seasons. So there are gonna be days

487
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: out there in camp where he still might not look

488
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:38,720
Speaker 1: like he's on the money with everything on every play.

489
00:26:38,760 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: But I think people have to remember who he's going against.

490
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,680
Speaker 1: He's going against the top three pass defense in practice

491
00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:49,240
Speaker 1: every day. Now, that's gonna make him better, even if

492
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 1: there are days in camp where he doesn't look like

493
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: he's on point with every single decision that he makes

494
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,080
Speaker 1: out there, because the coverage is that good, because the

495
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 1: disguises by Poyor and hide or that good. So we

496
00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 1: got to kind of weigh all of that before you

497
00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: come down on a decision on you know, how far

498
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:08,679
Speaker 1: his game has come along. Yeah, it's there's no question

499
00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: that's gonna make him better, and it's gonna make everybody better.

500
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:17,800
Speaker 1: Good rosters, you know, make their players sharp. It's it's

501
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:19,400
Speaker 1: got to be a great And we've talked about how

502
00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 1: difficult this roster is gonna be to make UM and

503
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 1: with the horizon and the salary cup salary cap that's

504
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:31,800
Speaker 1: gonna drop next year, that I think that widens the

505
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: scope of guys who may be like, oh man, I

506
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: may not make this roster, even veterans who are established.

507
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:41,640
Speaker 1: UM it's a huge, man. It's right where you want

508
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: to It's right where you want to be as a

509
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: as an organization. You've got a really good roster that's

510
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:51,000
Speaker 1: very deep, and you've got the freedom both financially to

511
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 1: keep guys you want and also uh the incentive to

512
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,840
Speaker 1: make sure the guys you're keeping are earning it every day.

513
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: There's nobody with the with taking it out of gear

514
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: thinking okay, I've got the you know this isn't gonna

515
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 1: be a year. I mean you might put who are

516
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: you gonna be? Who's that gonna be? Like Dion Dawkins,

517
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,440
Speaker 1: there's one right, and certainly they're not gonna do anything

518
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:13,440
Speaker 1: with Josh Allen or Termaine Edmonds or Tardavious wider In.

519
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:17,119
Speaker 1: Those guys are poorer and hide. But that's still a

520
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:22,879
Speaker 1: short list. Yeah, you know, I mean there's igether you

521
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:25,400
Speaker 1: are busting a gut to make this roster, not only

522
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,960
Speaker 1: a because it's hard to make, but B this is

523
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: the roster could do something that you've always wanted to do,

524
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,680
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs and get deep. Yeah right, that's

525
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,520
Speaker 1: It's a real a competitive and energized atmosphere at this

526
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,440
Speaker 1: training camp, more so than than we've seen in a while.

527
00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 1: Another guy who's probably on that short list is Stefan Diggs.

528
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 1: And as much as everyone has talked about how Diggs

529
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:56,240
Speaker 1: is going to help this offense, it was turned around

530
00:28:56,320 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: a little bit today in terms of did is going

531
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:04,040
Speaker 1: to help this Buffalo defense get ready for the regular season.

532
00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: Here's coach McDermott's take on that. The competitive nature that

533
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: he brings to our team, I think is apparent to

534
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: your point, Josh and watching him go up against the

535
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: likes of Trey White and Levi Wallace, Josh Norman just

536
00:29:18,720 --> 00:29:22,040
Speaker 1: to name name a few, UM has been has been fun.

537
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:24,960
Speaker 1: I know Josh from from our time together in Carolina,

538
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 1: and certainly I know Levi and Uh and Trey both

539
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,080
Speaker 1: and their competitive spirits as well. So that that competition

540
00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:32,880
Speaker 1: is a big part of our football team, and not

541
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: just at that position, but all positions. And that's where

542
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: guys that have that dogmentality, if you will, UM, and

543
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,840
Speaker 1: are able to you know, flip the switch on when

544
00:29:41,840 --> 00:29:44,960
Speaker 1: they when they come on the field and flip it

545
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,800
Speaker 1: off when they go off the field. That's important as well.

546
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 1: So that's a big part of building a competitive football team.

547
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: I mean from the very beginning, the very first day

548
00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: out here, you could you could audibly hear Josh Norman

549
00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:01,160
Speaker 1: chirping at players and apparently Dig brings just as much

550
00:30:01,240 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 1: juice to the practice field he's going to make those

551
00:30:03,120 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: dbs better. I mean, he is a challenge on every

552
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: route that he's running out there, and there's no other

553
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,080
Speaker 1: speed for him than a hundred miles per hour. And

554
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: that makes a difference. If you're practicing fast, playing the

555
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 1: game becomes that much easier, It becomes second nature, and

556
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: that it elevates. And I saw this firsthand as a player,

557
00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 1: and I've seen it firsthand or secondhand as a media person.

558
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: When you practice hard, you play hard. When you practice fast,

559
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: you play fast. When you practice at one hundred miles

560
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: an hour at full throttle when you can and when

561
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:44,080
Speaker 1: you're supposed to, it raises your ability to do that

562
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: more often, and it makes it more normal to be

563
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: that speed all the time, and a game is just

564
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: another it becomes another game. You start thinking about things

565
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 1: that make you better rather than just trying to keep

566
00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:57,800
Speaker 1: up or just trying to make sure you're going one

567
00:30:57,880 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: hundred miles an hour. When you go one hundred miles

568
00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: an hour when you're always when you're supposed to, then

569
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 1: when you're in a game, you can think about what

570
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be thinking about to be effective, and

571
00:31:08,720 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 1: that's not your speed. You know, what I'm saying, you're not.

572
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:14,080
Speaker 1: You don't have to. Playing hard is a given, but

573
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: when you have to think about it, then everything else

574
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 1: takes a back seat to Okay, now I gotta turn

575
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: it up today. Right. She shouldn't be like, yeah, I

576
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,040
Speaker 1: gotta get juiced up for this game. It's like turning

577
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 1: it up. It's just got to do what I did

578
00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,960
Speaker 1: in practice all week, right, stand a much better chance

579
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: of being successful. Turning it up is where you live.

580
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: And that's the way it was for the great teams

581
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 1: I was on, and it's the way it is for

582
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: great players, as we can we've seen from from these

583
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:42,400
Speaker 1: practices and what you're just talking about. Great players practice great.

584
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:45,440
Speaker 1: That's simple. All right, We need to take a break,

585
00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: but when we come back, we will be hearing from

586
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 1: one A. J Epinessa, the Bill's top pick in this

587
00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:57,280
Speaker 1: year's draft, as he addresses the additional position assignments that

588
00:31:57,320 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: he has been handed as a rookie from defensive line

589
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: coach Eric Washington, and how he is handling a big

590
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,600
Speaker 1: stack of assignments in his inbox. We'll get to that

591
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: and a lot more from AJ when we return here

592
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,720
Speaker 1: on One Bills Live Presented by Kalid to Health. This

593
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here on

594
00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:35,600
Speaker 1: One Bills Live broadcasting from the Seneca Studios that One

595
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:38,760
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive in Orchard Park, and we are going to

596
00:32:38,800 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: get to some aj EPINESSA comments made available to the

597
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: media today via the Zoom conference call before we talk

598
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: to players. Right, Yeah it is. I don't even know

599
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 1: what the guy looks like from the neck down. But

600
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,840
Speaker 1: one thing I got to say about Aja. We sat

601
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 1: here and listened to him, and you know, we're picking

602
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,400
Speaker 1: out soundbites that we thought you'd be interest in his

603
00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: viewer listeners and viewers. I gotta tell you, throughout his

604
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:10,800
Speaker 1: entire it lasted what fifteen minutes. Maybe college players today

605
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:13,440
Speaker 1: are coming out way more polished, and I know it's

606
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:15,840
Speaker 1: kind of the DNA that the Buffalo Bills look for.

607
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: But aj Epeneza was impressive, thoughtful, articulate, mature, all of

608
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 1: the ground grounded. And also you could tell he sprinkled

609
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: in enough. EXUS knows that he was, Like, that's a

610
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,959
Speaker 1: guy that came out of a program that prepared him. Yeah,

611
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: he seemed prepared for every question. He handled himself really well.

612
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,760
Speaker 1: I can't tell you impressed I was with him. I

613
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:44,160
Speaker 1: had never heard him or seen him on an interview.

614
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: We had him on I guess over the phone, like

615
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: on draft day or something, but I gotta tell you,

616
00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:54,360
Speaker 1: he's an impressive dude as a rookie coming in and

617
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: doing like he And yesterday we are guests and I

618
00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: can't remember who it was was, Oh, Pete Priscoe. He's right,

619
00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: he's Epaneza is a lot like Phil Hanson in that regard,

620
00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:08,120
Speaker 1: except I remember Phil Hanson as a you know, ten

621
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:12,319
Speaker 1: year pro. This guy's, you know, ten day rookie. It's

622
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:17,000
Speaker 1: pretty impressive. And apparently he's oppressed his coaching staff as well,

623
00:34:17,320 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: because they have put an awful lot of responsibility on

624
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 1: the rookies plate. Not only is he going to be

625
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: lining up at defensive end, but according to A J himself,

626
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,399
Speaker 1: he's got a whole lot of different positions to learn

627
00:34:29,440 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 1: along the defensive front. Let's listen to him on that. Yeah. No,

628
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: the coach, coach Washington, has been really emphasizing learning all

629
00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: four spots on the defensive line, and so I've been

630
00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 1: moving from and to the one to the three too.

631
00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:45,839
Speaker 1: I mean every position on the line. You can think

632
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: of us. That's where I've been playing, and I'm trying

633
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,879
Speaker 1: to be comfortable being uncomfortable. I'm sure you guys heard

634
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: that one hundred times around here, and that's really what's

635
00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: trying to go trying to happen though. I'm being put

636
00:34:56,640 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 1: in situations where I haven't really been put in before

637
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: and trying to learn and improve from on those to

638
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: make me a more versatile player across the line. Now

639
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,000
Speaker 1: here's the thing. Part of this I have to believe

640
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 1: from a coaching perspective, is a test. Let's see how

641
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:19,480
Speaker 1: much of this volume he can handle where we're not

642
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:24,560
Speaker 1: compromising his effectiveness as a player, and if we are,

643
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: that's when we back off. But let's throw him in

644
00:35:28,640 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 1: the deep end to the pool and see if he

645
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: can swim a little bit right. And that's part of this,

646
00:35:32,880 --> 00:35:35,440
Speaker 1: And it's not even so much about how he plays.

647
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: Certainly he has to try and do the right thing,

648
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,640
Speaker 1: but a lot of it is how he emotionally handles it.

649
00:35:40,680 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: What does it is he just given up? Has he

650
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 1: given up there there on plays? Or is he is

651
00:35:46,560 --> 00:35:48,279
Speaker 1: he looking around like he doesn't know what he's doing,

652
00:35:48,360 --> 00:35:50,120
Speaker 1: or is he saying, listen, I don't know exactly what

653
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 1: I'm doing here, but here I go that kind of thing. Yeah,

654
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,880
Speaker 1: that all goes into the mix about how they evaluate

655
00:35:55,880 --> 00:35:57,440
Speaker 1: what he's doing and how much they can give him

656
00:35:57,440 --> 00:36:00,960
Speaker 1: and how much more playing time he'll get is how

657
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: he handles it. Certainly they want him to do the

658
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,240
Speaker 1: right thing. When they line him up at the three.

659
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: They want him to run the three technique they don't

660
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:07,640
Speaker 1: want and you know, they don't want him to do

661
00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: the one technique or the zero or the end. And

662
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 1: if he does the right things, or at least trying

663
00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: to do the right things and is unflappable about it,

664
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: that goes a long way, because you don't want somebody

665
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,479
Speaker 1: out there who's going to go off the air during

666
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:26,680
Speaker 1: a game. Even if he's in a spot where he's uncomfortable.

667
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:29,719
Speaker 1: He's right, it's a great line. I gotta be comfortable

668
00:36:29,760 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: being uncomfortable, at least used to being uncomfortable. And that's

669
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: what this coaching staff does on purpose, because when you

670
00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:40,800
Speaker 1: make the player uncomfortable, what happens? They're forced to focus

671
00:36:42,000 --> 00:36:45,920
Speaker 1: because they're not familiar with everything that they've been given.

672
00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:48,320
Speaker 1: Oh geez, I gotta get this, you know. So now

673
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:53,400
Speaker 1: the focus gets narrowed right, and it prompts the player

674
00:36:53,960 --> 00:36:56,600
Speaker 1: to lock in to what they've got to do because

675
00:36:56,640 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 1: they don't know everything. They've got new stuff to learn

676
00:36:59,800 --> 00:37:02,600
Speaker 1: to master and to execute on the field, or the

677
00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: next guy is going to go in instead of you. Yeah,

678
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:07,480
Speaker 1: a little bit of bestowed humility is a good thing,

679
00:37:07,960 --> 00:37:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, And so when you come off the field,

680
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:14,160
Speaker 1: it's like you're thinking to yourself, I gotta do some

681
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:15,920
Speaker 1: work on my own here, I got I gotta get

682
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: ready for this tomorrow. And that's It's a great motivation tactic,

683
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: and certainly you can see how it would work on

684
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,480
Speaker 1: a guy's mental attitude about staying with it when he's

685
00:37:27,480 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: not on the field and going back and watching ale

686
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: extra film, asking some questions and meetings as talking to

687
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:35,759
Speaker 1: a vent, talking to a veteran, or just going to

688
00:37:35,800 --> 00:37:37,520
Speaker 1: his coach and sitting down in the chair in front

689
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:40,360
Speaker 1: of his desk and saying, hey, what about this. A

690
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,839
Speaker 1: little humility gets bestowed on everybody in the NFL, but

691
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: if you can take it the right way, it really

692
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,960
Speaker 1: helps you in the long run. AJ is also adapting

693
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:54,480
Speaker 1: to just the NFL atmosphere. Despite this unique offseason, no

694
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:57,400
Speaker 1: preseason games in which to get acclimated to the true

695
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,120
Speaker 1: speed of the NFL game. So how is he handling

696
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:06,640
Speaker 1: all of that? I mean, for everyone in my situation,

697
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: just kind of coming out of college and not having

698
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: the preseason or I mean we can go back and

699
00:38:10,840 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 1: we don't even have OTAs or a real physical rookie

700
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:17,480
Speaker 1: mini camp, and so we kind of got we got

701
00:38:17,520 --> 00:38:19,879
Speaker 1: those kind of taken away from us. But everyone's kind

702
00:38:19,880 --> 00:38:23,759
Speaker 1: of adjusting that. Everyone's working through it, and we're not

703
00:38:23,800 --> 00:38:25,759
Speaker 1: the only rookies in the league that are dealing with this,

704
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:27,520
Speaker 1: and so it's just kind of having to be able

705
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,600
Speaker 1: to be adaptable and adjusting to the current situation and

706
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 1: in terms of coming up with ways to be competitive

707
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 1: and still be safe and still be healthy and all

708
00:38:37,800 --> 00:38:42,080
Speaker 1: those things. Do you sense that is ramping up at

709
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,239
Speaker 1: training camp? I know it's your first experience with this,

710
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 1: but do you sense it like ways guys are coming

711
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:50,400
Speaker 1: up with competition? Oh? Yeah, no, it's I can definitely

712
00:38:50,440 --> 00:38:53,120
Speaker 1: feel that. And Coach mc government's trying to create a

713
00:38:53,200 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: competitive environment so that we can push each other to

714
00:38:55,719 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: get better because obviously, like you said, the preseason is

715
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:00,920
Speaker 1: just not going to happen, and so we won't be

716
00:39:00,920 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 1: able to compete against other people, and we've got to

717
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:08,240
Speaker 1: do it ourselves. And getting better is a focus for AJ.

718
00:39:08,560 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 1: And to his credit, he took it upon himself, you know,

719
00:39:13,320 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: during the offseason, to try to get to von Miller's

720
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:20,600
Speaker 1: pass rushing Summit. I believe he even did it after

721
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:22,880
Speaker 1: he was done playing in the college left in the

722
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: college ranks. So here he is. He did get the

723
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: invite that he was looking for. So von Miller runs

724
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: this pass rushing summit and young players are flocking to

725
00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 1: get there and soak up anything they can and AJ

726
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 1: was one of those guys. So here's his uh. Here

727
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:44,000
Speaker 1: is AJ explaining how that all came together for him.

728
00:39:46,120 --> 00:39:48,239
Speaker 1: So I originally saw it because I've seen it in

729
00:39:48,280 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: the past where von Miller's posted things about his pass

730
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:55,280
Speaker 1: rush summit that he does every year, and I saw

731
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 1: the link to it this year, and he put on

732
00:39:57,239 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: his Instagram and said college and pro guys DM and

733
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,440
Speaker 1: for an invitation. And so I had sent him a

734
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 1: DM and asked him if I could join in and

735
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,280
Speaker 1: learn from all the vets and basically all the legends

736
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 1: that they have in that that little chat, and I

737
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: got to watch and learn and listen to some great

738
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: guys in there, some some accomplished guys. UM teach me

739
00:40:18,320 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: their ways of pass rushing in and different ways to

740
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,960
Speaker 1: improve yourself and what to look for. Was there anything

741
00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 1: anything in particular you took away from it, maybe a

742
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:32,439
Speaker 1: technique or just a mental thought something like that. One

743
00:40:32,440 --> 00:40:36,360
Speaker 1: thing I was trying to learn at the time was

744
00:40:36,360 --> 00:40:38,799
Speaker 1: was the cross chop move. And then they explained a

745
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: lot of information on how Aaron Donald approaches it and

746
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:44,600
Speaker 1: how his footwork in his hands, everything like that. UM

747
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:46,680
Speaker 1: and a lot of the stuff they talked about I knew,

748
00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: but it just went in further death they had. They

749
00:40:49,360 --> 00:40:53,280
Speaker 1: had a further deeper knowledge and mine was just basically

750
00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: scratching the surface compared to theirs. And so they helped

751
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: me improve um some things that I thought I was

752
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: already UM pretty and that. So it's really just like

753
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:07,560
Speaker 1: an online forum where you know, he's a sponge potentially

754
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: a sponge, and you know too that the stuff they're

755
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,080
Speaker 1: talking and it's you know, it's like everything when you

756
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: when you're talking to guys who are peers or you know,

757
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: even you know, better at their job than you are,

758
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:19,880
Speaker 1: and they start talking about the ins and outs and

759
00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:21,799
Speaker 1: how far they've come. There's a depth of knowledge that

760
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: they have from experience that you don't have, and it

761
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:30,279
Speaker 1: gets but there's also this incredible amount of credibility that

762
00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,280
Speaker 1: they have, like what they say, this works, it works

763
00:41:33,280 --> 00:41:36,000
Speaker 1: because I've used it at this level, right and you look,

764
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,839
Speaker 1: go look at my status. I'm the guy. Yeah, I'm

765
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:39,920
Speaker 1: the guy that you're coming to form. This is it.

766
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 1: And so that level of credibility with players goes a

767
00:41:43,560 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: long long way because there's you know, a player from

768
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,040
Speaker 1: another team has no agenda when they're out there like that,

769
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,560
Speaker 1: when they when they know that that's going to be

770
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:52,640
Speaker 1: expected of them to help out. And when you get

771
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: a guy like that, man, you you're just writing down

772
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: verbatim what they're saying and picturing it and uh yeah.

773
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:01,840
Speaker 1: It's a huge, huge benefit for young players. And I

774
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:04,160
Speaker 1: will say this credits to von Miller and the veterans

775
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: in this league for paying it forward. I think that

776
00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:10,799
Speaker 1: is one of the few things that the NFL has

777
00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:13,279
Speaker 1: that a lot of other professional sports do not have.

778
00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,200
Speaker 1: There are coaches that are willing to give you tips

779
00:42:17,200 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: and techniques and certain things, but there are there aren't

780
00:42:20,880 --> 00:42:24,920
Speaker 1: many other professional sports that have veteran players pay it

781
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: forward the same way that the NFL does. I mean,

782
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,919
Speaker 1: I've seen it just covering this league for a long time.

783
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:33,080
Speaker 1: It is far more prevalent in the NFL than it

784
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: is in other professional sports league. So it's it's a

785
00:42:36,160 --> 00:42:40,440
Speaker 1: positive thing that that this league definitely has and players

786
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:42,719
Speaker 1: continue to do it because of what's been done for them,

787
00:42:42,760 --> 00:42:45,120
Speaker 1: and who knows, Aja in ten years might be turn it,

788
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: flipping it around and doing the exact same thing. It's

789
00:42:47,239 --> 00:42:49,960
Speaker 1: the same number of players and teams is when I played,

790
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:54,480
Speaker 1: but the league is ten times smaller now because of

791
00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,280
Speaker 1: social media, because of free agency, because of the cross

792
00:42:57,320 --> 00:43:01,120
Speaker 1: pollination of players, because of their ability to communicate with

793
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,359
Speaker 1: each other, and guys playing for different teams during their

794
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: careers at a much higher rate than when I played.

795
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:10,200
Speaker 1: The league is much smaller and it's more fraternal in

796
00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:13,480
Speaker 1: that respect, So you get these guys reaching out to

797
00:43:13,480 --> 00:43:15,879
Speaker 1: each other and helping him out. It's a much better

798
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 1: atmosphere now than it has been. And just so it's clear.

799
00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:21,319
Speaker 1: Aj also addressed how the veterans on this roster are

800
00:43:21,360 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 1: helping him with this scheme here and the different position

801
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:28,280
Speaker 1: responsibilities he's been handed by defensive line coach Eric Washington.

802
00:43:28,320 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: All right, we have to step aside, but when we

803
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: come back, there is breaking news that the NFL is

804
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: now considering a league wide policy that would enable fan

805
00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:43,400
Speaker 1: sound to be heard in the stadiums. We'll try to

806
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: give you more details on that when we return here

807
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:47,799
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. This is

808
00:43:47,800 --> 00:44:04,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Back on One Bill's Live, Chris Brown,

809
00:44:04,520 --> 00:44:07,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. We've got Armando sell Gero, the

810
00:44:07,560 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 1: Dolphins columnist and be reporter for the Miami Herald coming

811
00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:14,000
Speaker 1: up at one as we do have our Twitter poll

812
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:19,120
Speaker 1: out there ready and waiting for you, which essentially is

813
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 1: asking which quarterback situation is the most compelling of the

814
00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:30,400
Speaker 1: AFC East opponents, Cam's transition to the Patriots offense, the

815
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: Tua or fits debate in Miami, or whether Sam Darnold

816
00:44:34,440 --> 00:44:36,799
Speaker 1: will be able to raise his game in year three

817
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:39,520
Speaker 1: for the Jets. And Cam Newton is a runaway right now.

818
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,399
Speaker 1: So if you feel differently, please chime in and we'll

819
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,279
Speaker 1: get to your comments on the tweet sheet as to

820
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,279
Speaker 1: why you feel that way coming up soon on the program.

821
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 1: But we do have some breaking news. Do do do do,

822
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,359
Speaker 1: do do do? With regard to the NFL stadium experience.

823
00:44:56,520 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: As of right now, there are some teams, as we

824
00:44:59,120 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: mentioned on yesterday show, that have announced they will have

825
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 1: limited capacity seating for fans at their home games. Some

826
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: teams have just scrapped the entire season, say no fans

827
00:45:09,160 --> 00:45:12,040
Speaker 1: at all this year, like the Las Vegas Raiders, and

828
00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,480
Speaker 1: there are other teams that are holding their water waiting

829
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: to make a decision. So there will be far different

830
00:45:21,360 --> 00:45:24,840
Speaker 1: home field atmospheres through the course of this season because

831
00:45:24,880 --> 00:45:28,400
Speaker 1: of that. There is one thing though, that the NFL

832
00:45:28,640 --> 00:45:33,239
Speaker 1: is now considering. This according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, who said,

833
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:38,040
Speaker 1: the NFL is now considering a league wide policy that

834
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:42,799
Speaker 1: would enable fan sound to be heard in stadiums. Now.

835
00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: The details on this have not been provided as of yet.

836
00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:51,680
Speaker 1: This is just coming out now. Would I'm wondering if

837
00:45:51,680 --> 00:45:56,560
Speaker 1: this is artificial fan sound, or if this is sound

838
00:45:56,560 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: that each team is going to be entrusted with generating

839
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:05,560
Speaker 1: in some virtual way, you know, basically telling their fans,

840
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:09,800
Speaker 1: get online, get loud, and we'll pump all that noise

841
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:13,480
Speaker 1: through the speakers, or if it'll be of the artificial variety.

842
00:46:13,800 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 1: I tend to think it's it's an easier lift to

843
00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,560
Speaker 1: be of the artificial variety. But if you want to

844
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:21,879
Speaker 1: include your fans, maybe this fan noise idea is one

845
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 1: way they're considering it. We'll have to wait for more

846
00:46:24,719 --> 00:46:27,080
Speaker 1: details to emerge. But how does that grab you on

847
00:46:27,200 --> 00:46:31,640
Speaker 1: first plush? Yeah, well, they used to do it in

848
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:34,840
Speaker 1: the RCA Dome anyway. They didn't Atlanta Falcons anyway. Some

849
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: of these teams that don't have fans, they were ahead

850
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:38,520
Speaker 1: of their time. They were ahead of their time because

851
00:46:38,520 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: they just made they just pumped it in and you know,

852
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 1: instead of relying on the real thing. So it's it's

853
00:46:44,040 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: not like they don't have the recording. Yeah right, so yeah, okay,

854
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 1: that's fine. But do you think it re establishes Do

855
00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:53,880
Speaker 1: you think it'll be to a point where it re

856
00:46:54,120 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: establishes that home field advantage that teams talk about that

857
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:02,240
Speaker 1: they were potentially losing this year. How loud's it gonna be? Yeah,

858
00:47:02,280 --> 00:47:06,040
Speaker 1: well right, that's the big help. You can installed new speaker,

859
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:09,360
Speaker 1: extra speakers, so you can, you know, let's roll in

860
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:13,040
Speaker 1: those subwaffers, guys, get them over here, and let's face it,

861
00:47:13,080 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: you can pick and choose when you want them to

862
00:47:14,800 --> 00:47:18,640
Speaker 1: cheer and when when for instance, opening day, Sam Darnold's

863
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,799
Speaker 1: out there, you know it'll make your head pop it's

864
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,000
Speaker 1: so loud. And then when your defense goes out there

865
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,200
Speaker 1: or your offense goes out there, it'll be crickets. I

866
00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: mean it can be a thousand percent different. I mean

867
00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:32,000
Speaker 1: it can be like you know, because there's always a

868
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:34,160
Speaker 1: little bit Dan, You're seventy thousand people, it's like, oh, okay,

869
00:47:34,160 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: all right. But even when they're trying to be quiet,

870
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,879
Speaker 1: you know they're not. You're gonna need those amps from

871
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: spinal tap that go up to eleven, right, so it

872
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: can do your opponents. You can exaggerate those up to eleven.

873
00:47:49,640 --> 00:47:52,279
Speaker 1: You can exaggerate it. It can go dead silent. I

874
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:54,440
Speaker 1: mean you can. You'll have to whisper on the sideline

875
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,440
Speaker 1: so they don't hear what you're talking about. Two in

876
00:47:58,480 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 1: a fetal position with your hands over your ears because

877
00:48:00,840 --> 00:48:02,680
Speaker 1: it's painful. I mean that can you know how big

878
00:48:02,680 --> 00:48:04,719
Speaker 1: of the speakers you got, what's your voltage? You know

879
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:07,520
Speaker 1: how many watch you're gonna put through those things? It's

880
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: and teams will use it to their advantage. If they

881
00:48:13,640 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: can by whatever policies they lay out. I'm sure the league,

882
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,120
Speaker 1: the league may do stuff about it, but you know,

883
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,560
Speaker 1: teams have been doing that already. The Falcons have got

884
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:25,120
Speaker 1: busted doing it. The Colts did it in OURCA Dome

885
00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:31,560
Speaker 1: for years. So I don't know. Come on, I think

886
00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:33,799
Speaker 1: it's a wait and see. Yeah, let's see. First, let's

887
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 1: see what they decide. And then second, if it is

888
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:41,880
Speaker 1: decided upon, quite literally, how's it going to sound right?

889
00:48:42,080 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 1: Because that's and what are the limits in terms of

890
00:48:45,280 --> 00:48:50,640
Speaker 1: decibel level, frequency of using the sound, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera.

891
00:48:50,840 --> 00:48:54,439
Speaker 1: So a lot to unpack there, and none of it's

892
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:57,400
Speaker 1: been unpacked to this point. But Adam Schefter is reporting

893
00:48:57,440 --> 00:49:00,880
Speaker 1: that the league is considering a policy see by which

894
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:06,239
Speaker 1: home teams could use fans sound at games. We're anticipating

895
00:49:06,280 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: of the artificial or prerecorded variety. So we'll keep our

896
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,399
Speaker 1: ear to the ground to see what comes of that

897
00:49:12,920 --> 00:49:15,560
Speaker 1: in the coming days and weeks, because if there is

898
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,520
Speaker 1: a decision, it's obviously going to have to be made

899
00:49:17,560 --> 00:49:20,800
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. With the regular season about twenty

900
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:24,240
Speaker 1: one days away for the kickoff game between the Chiefs

901
00:49:24,560 --> 00:49:26,319
Speaker 1: and the Texans. We have to take a break, but

902
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:31,239
Speaker 1: when we return, it's one Armando Salguero, the columnist and

903
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: Dolphins reporter for the Miami Herald and Radio dot Com.

904
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 1: He will be joining us. Next is we discuss with

905
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:41,280
Speaker 1: him the landscape in the AFC East at the quarterback position.

906
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,920
Speaker 1: They got a couple of options down there, two or fits.

907
00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:47,160
Speaker 1: We'll talk about that along with the rest of the

908
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,560
Speaker 1: division coming up next. Here on One Bills Live presented

00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:28,400
Speaker 1: and a new ad Quintin Jefferson who has footsore nows.

917
00:50:28,760 --> 00:50:31,480
Speaker 1: If Cam Newton is going to succeed Tom Brady as

918
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: the Patriots starting quarterback, he will have to work for it. Newton,

919
00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 1: Brian Hoyer, and Jared Stidham are splitting the reps at

920
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,640
Speaker 1: Pat's camp, with no one clearly favored as the starter

921
00:50:41,719 --> 00:50:44,319
Speaker 1: as of yet. Pat's coach Bill Belichick has declined to

922
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: name a starting quarterback and may not do so anytime soon.

923
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:50,400
Speaker 1: Gerald McCoy's first season and Dallas ended Monday with a

924
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 1: torn quadriceps tendon, and on Tuesday it ended his time

925
00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:56,959
Speaker 1: with the Cowboys entirely. Dallas released McCoy via injury waiver

926
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:00,399
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. McCoy signed a three year, eighteen million deal

927
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,080
Speaker 1: with Dallas in the offseason after spending the nineteen campaign

928
00:51:04,160 --> 00:51:08,440
Speaker 1: in Carolina. NHL playoffs continue in their underway. Tampa can

929
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,560
Speaker 1: close out there series with the Blue Jackets with a

930
00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 1: Game five win. That game just started the second period.

931
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 1: It's two one Tampa. Later today, it's the same situation

932
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:19,040
Speaker 1: for the Bruins as they lead their best of seven

933
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,879
Speaker 1: series with the Hurricanes three games to one. Tonight it's

934
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,759
Speaker 1: the Coyotes and the Avs. The Avs can close out

935
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 1: that series with a win, and then Canadiens and the Flyers,

936
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,760
Speaker 1: with the Flyers facing elimination as well, and the nightcap

937
00:51:31,880 --> 00:51:34,560
Speaker 1: is the Canucks and the Blues. That series is knotted

938
00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:38,279
Speaker 1: at two. That is your sports update as it's time

939
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:43,919
Speaker 1: for us to shift two the AFC East. Steve, and

940
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,359
Speaker 1: we have to talk some Dolphins football as well as

941
00:51:47,400 --> 00:51:49,960
Speaker 1: the other teams in the division. But we'll probably have

942
00:51:50,040 --> 00:51:52,600
Speaker 1: a little bit more of a Dolphins focus here and

943
00:51:52,680 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: with good reason because on the line is Radio dot

944
00:51:55,800 --> 00:51:59,319
Speaker 1: Com sports insider Armando Selgero Insider Calls brought to you

945
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: by Pens Oil Motor oils made from natural gaff gas.

946
00:52:03,239 --> 00:52:06,200
Speaker 1: The proof is in the Penn's oil. Armando. It's Chris Brown,

947
00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:08,040
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. Thanks for taking the time to

948
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,799
Speaker 1: join us today. Man, it's always your pleasure to have

949
00:52:11,960 --> 00:52:17,479
Speaker 1: me it is. You're right. Look, I want to start

950
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:19,879
Speaker 1: you right off with our Twitter poll that we've got

951
00:52:19,920 --> 00:52:22,719
Speaker 1: going on today, and obviously, with us being a Bill

952
00:52:22,800 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 1: centric show, we asked what's the most interesting quarterback situation

953
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: when it comes to the Bill's AFC East opponents. Obviously,

954
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: you know you've got the Fits into a situation down there.

955
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,920
Speaker 1: We've got Cam's transition into the Patriots offense up in

956
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,880
Speaker 1: New England, and obviously the question in New York is

957
00:52:39,840 --> 00:52:42,279
Speaker 1: will Sam Darneld be able to raise his game in

958
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:45,799
Speaker 1: year three with a somewhat improved cast. What grabs you

959
00:52:45,840 --> 00:52:48,360
Speaker 1: the most out of that one, even though you're suffering

960
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:52,799
Speaker 1: probably from dolphins myopia. Well, I would say to you

961
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:57,840
Speaker 1: that the most likely scenario of all of those playing

962
00:52:57,880 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: out is dam Darnold does in fact have a shot

963
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:06,560
Speaker 1: to be a pretty good quarterback if he takes another step,

964
00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:09,280
Speaker 1: and the Jets believe he's going to take another step

965
00:53:11,880 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: as a history with some quarterbacks, and he is completely

966
00:53:17,040 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 1: confident that Donald is about the ball out. Now. I

967
00:53:21,280 --> 00:53:24,320
Speaker 1: look around their depth chart and I don't know who's

968
00:53:24,360 --> 00:53:28,759
Speaker 1: gonna throw to h who's helping him exactly, And I'm

969
00:53:28,800 --> 00:53:32,560
Speaker 1: not quite sure how his protection is going to hold up,

970
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 1: But you know, we'll see. I also can tell you

971
00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,919
Speaker 1: the whole two a thing you're not gonna see two

972
00:53:41,200 --> 00:53:45,320
Speaker 1: early on in the twenty twenty season, He's not gonna

973
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:50,920
Speaker 1: win the quarterback battle. He's a quarterback competition in really

974
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: in words, only Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to be the

975
00:53:55,960 --> 00:54:01,040
Speaker 1: starter early in the season, certainly for the regular season

976
00:54:01,080 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: opener at New England, And as far as the Patriots

977
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:08,520
Speaker 1: are concerned, yesterday the best quarterback in cap was Brian Hoyer.

978
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:13,880
Speaker 1: It's like what what's that about, right, I Mean, nobody's

979
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:19,640
Speaker 1: expecting that, So yeah, I think it's a big nothing

980
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:24,200
Speaker 1: burger down here for now. With Tuah, Well, we were

981
00:54:24,239 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: talking about TWA and Fits and what it would take

982
00:54:27,040 --> 00:54:30,600
Speaker 1: and what will what will cause the transition when it

983
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:32,839
Speaker 1: does happen, and I thought it was about two things. One,

984
00:54:32,880 --> 00:54:35,440
Speaker 1: I thought it was about how well Fitz played. But

985
00:54:35,480 --> 00:54:38,320
Speaker 1: I think in keeping with that, I think it's strictly

986
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,359
Speaker 1: about the win loss record of the Dolphins. If they

987
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: come out and go three and one in the first

988
00:54:42,200 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 1: four weeks of the season, they're not They're not going

989
00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 1: to make a change at quarterback. But then you get

990
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: two and two and it's like, Okay, we're still kind

991
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,879
Speaker 1: of hanging in there with Fits. If they go one

992
00:54:50,920 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 1: and three, it's like, what are you waiting on? And

993
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:57,319
Speaker 1: I think that's as big a part of the transition

994
00:54:57,560 --> 00:55:01,480
Speaker 1: as how well Fits plays or does and play. You're

995
00:55:01,560 --> 00:55:07,319
Speaker 1: absolutely right, Seed And basically last year they got out

996
00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 1: to an o and two start and they lost by

997
00:55:10,560 --> 00:55:13,279
Speaker 1: a total of If I do some really quick math,

998
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:16,880
Speaker 1: I think it was eighty eight to ten those first

999
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:20,800
Speaker 1: two games. It's not worse eighty nine to ten. Excuse

1000
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:26,239
Speaker 1: me and Fitz didn't play you know, very well. He

1001
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: didn't play terrible, but they just decided this isn't you know,

1002
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:34,759
Speaker 1: we got nothing to lose, and so they tried Josh Rosen. Well,

1003
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 1: this year, I think that they would probably stick with

1004
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 1: it a little while longer, as long as he's not

1005
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:44,880
Speaker 1: having one of his you know, four interceptions or you know,

1006
00:55:44,920 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 1: shout that the thought six interception games. But eventually this year,

1007
00:55:51,480 --> 00:55:54,320
Speaker 1: everybody that's saying, well, they've got a red shirt to

1008
00:55:54,480 --> 00:55:57,680
Speaker 1: what some of our law, Yeah, that's that's not gonna

1009
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,919
Speaker 1: been for the whole season. They read the first game

1010
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 1: that we're gonna go week to week. We're talking to

1011
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 1: Radio dot Com sports insider Armando Salguero, and you know, Armando,

1012
00:56:13,160 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 1: I have to imagine two that prior to the pandemic,

1013
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,040
Speaker 1: there was a thought probably in Brian Flora's head as

1014
00:56:23,080 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 1: to the timetable on when the time might be right,

1015
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: obviously considering the factors that Steve mentioned, but when the

1016
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,839
Speaker 1: time might be right into his development to give him

1017
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: greater consideration in terms of putting him into the lineup.

1018
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:39,880
Speaker 1: But then the pandemic wipes out the preseason. There's no

1019
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,920
Speaker 1: adjustment phase. For two to get acclimated to the speed

1020
00:56:42,920 --> 00:56:46,399
Speaker 1: of the NFL game, even at the preseason level. How

1021
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: much do you feel the absence of a preseason may

1022
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:53,320
Speaker 1: have pushed back the timetable for when this coaching staff

1023
00:56:53,320 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: feels the time is right to turn to TWA that

1024
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:01,719
Speaker 1: definitely plays a factor. Uh, let me give you The

1025
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:07,760
Speaker 1: big offensive coordinator for the Miami Dolphins is named chan Gaily.

1026
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: You guys are familiar with chan Gaily, Ryan Fitzpatrick. This

1027
00:57:13,400 --> 00:57:16,560
Speaker 1: is the incumbent quarterback. Let me see, have they ever

1028
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 1: played together and has has Has that duo ever been together? Yeah,

1029
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,960
Speaker 1: they were together in Buffalo and then two years more

1030
00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: with the New York Yanit knows that offense backwards to borge,

1031
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:35,200
Speaker 1: chan Gaily has a comfort level with Ryan to the

1032
00:57:35,280 --> 00:57:38,920
Speaker 1: point where he has said, if Ryan hadn't been on

1033
00:57:39,120 --> 00:57:42,680
Speaker 1: the Dolphins roster, he might not have come out of

1034
00:57:42,760 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: retirement at age sixty eight to deal with, you know,

1035
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:53,400
Speaker 1: younger players. So that is really a factor that you know,

1036
00:57:54,240 --> 00:57:58,400
Speaker 1: it basically has turned what the head coach, Brian Flores

1037
00:57:58,440 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 1: has said is a quarter back competition into a quarterback

1038
00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: competition for number two. Yeah, that makes a lot of

1039
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:11,640
Speaker 1: sense and let's talk about the whole room. If it's

1040
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: a quarterback competition for number two, can tow a tang

1041
00:58:14,280 --> 00:58:19,919
Speaker 1: of volo beat out Josh Rosen? He better? I mean,

1042
00:58:19,960 --> 00:58:23,600
Speaker 1: he's the first round pick, he's number five overall. But

1043
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 1: I've got I've got you know, I guess good news

1044
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:30,640
Speaker 1: for you guys. Josh Rosen has looked better the first

1045
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:34,760
Speaker 1: three days of practice than two ahead. And and really,

1046
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that Josh knows the offense better.

1047
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: It's a new offense to Josh as well. It's not

1048
00:58:42,440 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: that he's way more experienced. I mean, you know, Josh

1049
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,560
Speaker 1: Rosen hasn't exactly been a long time starter in the NFL.

1050
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:54,240
Speaker 1: I think he's only started like eleven games, twelve games,

1051
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: and so it's just sheer ability and he the ball

1052
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:02,920
Speaker 1: has come out of his hand, you know, with more

1053
00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: explosion than it did with or it has with Tua.

1054
00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:11,720
Speaker 1: He just looks better, more comfortable. And then what about

1055
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:16,960
Speaker 1: the receiver situation. Obviously, you know they haven't opt out there,

1056
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,840
Speaker 1: and so you know they've got some shuffling to do.

1057
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 1: Perhaps you know, with Alan Hearns opting out although he's

1058
00:59:25,960 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 1: not one of their top receivers, I mean I think

1059
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:31,440
Speaker 1: they think a lot of Obviously, DeVante Parker and Preston

1060
00:59:31,440 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 1: Williams was a player that certainly impressed me in his

1061
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:38,720
Speaker 1: performances against the Bills last year. So when you look

1062
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 1: at their receiving corps, is Alan Hearns more of a

1063
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,160
Speaker 1: blip on the radar as a loss or do you

1064
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: see it as potentially something more than that? Yeah, well,

1065
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: Alan Hearns on his own is a blip. But Alan

1066
00:59:52,680 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: Hearns and Albert Wilson, who also opted out. I was

1067
00:59:56,360 --> 00:59:59,280
Speaker 1: looking at it the other day. That's ninety catches for

1068
00:59:59,320 --> 01:00:04,680
Speaker 1: a thousand yards between them and and yeah, I get it.

1069
01:00:05,560 --> 01:00:09,840
Speaker 1: So that creates a spot for your number five receiver.

1070
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:15,000
Speaker 1: But here's the problem with that. DeVante Parker, who's your

1071
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 1: number one receiver, has an injury history. Jachim Grant has

1072
01:00:19,360 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: an injury history. Isaiah Ford has an injury history. Uh,

1073
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:29,680
Speaker 1: you know, all the guys that remain have injury histories,

1074
01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:34,560
Speaker 1: and so if any of those guys get injured, now

1075
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:38,960
Speaker 1: your number five receiver is is you know, available or

1076
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 1: has to be active on game day and anything that happens,

1077
01:00:43,920 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 1: he has to play. And looking at the guys that

1078
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 1: they got at the back end of that depth Chartum, no, no, yeah, right,

1079
01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:59,640
Speaker 1: what has been Brian Flores's vibe in this training campus?

1080
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: Certainly there are higher expectations than there have been. Of

1081
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:03,840
Speaker 1: course those don't go as far as probably the Super

1082
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:07,640
Speaker 1: Bowl of the playoffs for the Dolphins, but nevertheless the

1083
01:01:07,680 --> 01:01:10,680
Speaker 1: expectations are raised. How's Brian floor has handled this training

1084
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,720
Speaker 1: camp and what's different about him and coming into his

1085
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 1: I guess what third year? Yeah, that's a great question,

1086
01:01:18,480 --> 01:01:24,280
Speaker 1: because it's clearly a different dynamic. Last year. I'm not

1087
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:26,640
Speaker 1: gonna say any they were tanking, but they were tanking

1088
01:01:27,160 --> 01:01:32,160
Speaker 1: and everyone knew it, and the roster was horrible and

1089
01:01:32,320 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: everyone knew it, and no one had any higher expectations

1090
01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:41,040
Speaker 1: This year after they spent you know, more money in

1091
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:45,480
Speaker 1: free agency than anyone, gave more guaranteed money in free

1092
01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 1: agency than anyone, and added eleven draft pick. The expectations

1093
01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:54,760
Speaker 1: have been raised, and so the coach has to respond

1094
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:58,320
Speaker 1: and five and eleven isn't gonna be good enough anymore.

1095
01:01:59,240 --> 01:02:02,760
Speaker 1: We're playing NFL football now. Last year was kind of like,

1096
01:02:03,680 --> 01:02:06,919
Speaker 1: I don't even know what last year was, but it's

1097
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:10,000
Speaker 1: real now, and I think Brian has a year under

1098
01:02:10,040 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: his belt, but the dynamic of him how to handle

1099
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:18,000
Speaker 1: a different roster, a roster that has veterans that come

1100
01:02:18,080 --> 01:02:21,400
Speaker 1: from elsewhere like the Kansas City Chiefs, like the New

1101
01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:26,080
Speaker 1: England Patriots. Where they're winning, there's not gonna be a

1102
01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:29,480
Speaker 1: whole lot of patience with the head coach if it's

1103
01:02:29,560 --> 01:02:33,320
Speaker 1: not working out, whereas last year, whatever the head coach

1104
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 1: said was gospel. And you have coach Flores is going

1105
01:02:37,800 --> 01:02:40,840
Speaker 1: to be you know, depending heavily on his defensive coordinator,

1106
01:02:40,960 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: Josh Boyer, because they got to turn around a defense

1107
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: that ranked last in the league and also you know

1108
01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,080
Speaker 1: it was down there at the bottom in terms of

1109
01:02:48,080 --> 01:02:50,040
Speaker 1: points allowed. I mean you already mentioned how the first

1110
01:02:50,080 --> 01:02:52,240
Speaker 1: two games went last year, which kind of put them

1111
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: in a hole that they never climbed out of. So yes,

1112
01:02:55,240 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 1: they've done a lot to revamp that side of the ball.

1113
01:02:58,120 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: I mean, they signed two linebackers New England. They've got

1114
01:03:01,240 --> 01:03:04,520
Speaker 1: Byron Jones big money contract from Dallas, and they have

1115
01:03:04,560 --> 01:03:09,600
Speaker 1: one Shack Lawson as well from Buffalo. So what is

1116
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 1: realistic in terms of the level of improvement that the

1117
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,440
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball can make for Miami this year?

1118
01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 1: So this is interesting because in a normal year, we'd

1119
01:03:21,640 --> 01:03:24,200
Speaker 1: all be talking about can the New England Patriots be

1120
01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,560
Speaker 1: displaced after they've won fifty seven thousand of the last

1121
01:03:28,640 --> 01:03:33,320
Speaker 1: fifty seven thousand and one AfD titles. But it's not

1122
01:03:33,440 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: a normal year. The Patriots are diminished. They don't have Brady,

1123
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 1: they had eight opt outs, they lost a ton of guys,

1124
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:45,840
Speaker 1: two free agencies. So now it's on the Buffalo Bills.

1125
01:03:46,320 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 1: That is the team that looks like the team to beat,

1126
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: assuming Josh Allen takes another step and everybody else behind

1127
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 1: them is everybody else behind them, and I'd put the

1128
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:02,440
Speaker 1: Dolphins in that pack as as well. Look, Cam Newton

1129
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:05,760
Speaker 1: has been accomplished as a quarterback, but we don't know

1130
01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 1: who Cam Newton is anymore. Uh, we don't know if

1131
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's going to take the step. And we don't

1132
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,720
Speaker 1: know if Ryan Fitzpatrick is gonna be fits magic or

1133
01:04:15,720 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: if it's tragic. So as far as those three teams

1134
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:22,360
Speaker 1: are concerned, on any given Sunday, they're you know, they're

1135
01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:26,680
Speaker 1: gonna be up and down. And I think that that's

1136
01:04:26,680 --> 01:04:30,080
Speaker 1: where the Dolphins are looking at things. They're they're not

1137
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:34,480
Speaker 1: saying we're not going to win the AFCAST, but you

1138
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:38,360
Speaker 1: know they're not gonna win the AFC. E's guys and

1139
01:04:38,440 --> 01:04:42,000
Speaker 1: maybe their second, maybe their third. Who knows. What's the

1140
01:04:42,040 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: biggest question for them coming in Like X, I'm not

1141
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 1: talking to so much about big picture stuff, but you know,

1142
01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,080
Speaker 1: to a tongovloa when he's going to come in and

1143
01:04:49,160 --> 01:04:50,840
Speaker 1: is there any other what are the questions that are

1144
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:53,640
Speaker 1: surrounding this roster and this team and the fans are

1145
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:57,160
Speaker 1: looking at as being really important. The best defensive player

1146
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: is not practicing, and Howard started the year on the

1147
01:05:02,840 --> 01:05:05,760
Speaker 1: pup list because of a knee injury, and then he's

1148
01:05:05,800 --> 01:05:08,400
Speaker 1: been on the COVID list for the last fourteen days.

1149
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:12,640
Speaker 1: So he's not only an opera. He's not in condition

1150
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:16,680
Speaker 1: at all. No one knows if he'll be able to

1151
01:05:17,360 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 1: start the season on time, and what is it going

1152
01:05:21,400 --> 01:05:24,400
Speaker 1: to be like when he comes back. He's only their

1153
01:05:24,480 --> 01:05:28,800
Speaker 1: best defensive player. So so there's that all of a sudden,

1154
01:05:28,840 --> 01:05:32,560
Speaker 1: that idea of having Byron Jones is Davian Howard as

1155
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:37,640
Speaker 1: one of the NFL's premier cornerback tandem. Huh. He goes

1156
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: out the window. That's not good. They were thirty second

1157
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:45,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL and back last year. Can all of

1158
01:05:45,840 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 1: the guys that you guys mentioned actually put some pressure

1159
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 1: on the quarterback? And then, of course, you know the

1160
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,400
Speaker 1: offensive line, which has been an issue here for years.

1161
01:05:57,960 --> 01:06:00,320
Speaker 1: They could have two and at the end of the

1162
01:06:00,360 --> 01:06:04,240
Speaker 1: season three rookies playing on that offensive line. We're talking

1163
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:08,160
Speaker 1: to Radio dot Com insiders Armando Salguero, and last one

1164
01:06:08,160 --> 01:06:12,520
Speaker 1: I've got for you, Armando is Shack Lawson. I believe

1165
01:06:12,560 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 1: the defensive scheme is a little bit different than what

1166
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo makes use of. It is more of a three

1167
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:21,360
Speaker 1: or four front. So how are they utilizing Shack? Are

1168
01:06:21,360 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: they using him as an end primarily like a five

1169
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:30,080
Speaker 1: technique they are using Well, okay, so the Dolphins think

1170
01:06:30,320 --> 01:06:35,920
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, and basically they're doing the Patriots. They've

1171
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:40,000
Speaker 1: got two linebackers on the field and five up front,

1172
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:43,080
Speaker 1: and you know, you don't ever know who's gonna come,

1173
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 1: who's not gonna come. Shack Lawson is going to start

1174
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:48,800
Speaker 1: for the Miami Dolphins. Sometimes it's gonna be at d end.

1175
01:06:49,400 --> 01:06:55,240
Speaker 1: Sometimes he's gonna be interior. So that's how that's gonna work.

1176
01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,800
Speaker 1: Last thing I've got for you, Armando, you're one of

1177
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:01,560
Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame voters, the old Timers

1178
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:04,479
Speaker 1: list came out. I call him old timers just only

1179
01:07:04,520 --> 01:07:07,960
Speaker 1: because I can, because they're older than me. So, but

1180
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: Drew Pierson, Tom Flores selected his finalist. Drew Pierce has

1181
01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,080
Speaker 1: been waiting a long time and Tom Flores a lot

1182
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 1: of people have thought he, you know, has deserved it

1183
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:18,160
Speaker 1: for a long time as well. What are the chances

1184
01:07:18,200 --> 01:07:21,200
Speaker 1: for those two guys of getting into the Hall of Fame. Finally,

1185
01:07:21,240 --> 01:07:23,400
Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on Tom Flores, the former head

1186
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: coach and former quarterback and also Drew Pierson, the great

1187
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboy. Tom Flores is a Hall of Famer in

1188
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: my estimation, and I've never had a chance to vote

1189
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 1: for him because he's never you know, been in the

1190
01:07:37,360 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 1: room quote unquote in the six years that i've that

1191
01:07:41,360 --> 01:07:44,840
Speaker 1: I've been on the selection committee. He's in there this year.

1192
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:50,120
Speaker 1: He's you know, he won two Super Bowls. He look,

1193
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:53,800
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier how hard it is as a coach

1194
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 1: to deal with one set of players and then another

1195
01:07:56,960 --> 01:08:01,080
Speaker 1: set of players. I'll remind everyone that the oapland Raiders

1196
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:06,920
Speaker 1: were the insane asylum of NFL teams that you know,

1197
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:11,600
Speaker 1: brought in problem children from all over the NFL and

1198
01:08:11,800 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 1: remade them and turned them all into a pack of winners.

1199
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,960
Speaker 1: And yes, Madden was one of the guys that did that.

1200
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:24,080
Speaker 1: But then after Madden did it, Tom Flores did it.

1201
01:08:24,160 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 1: Madden is in the Hall of fame. I think Tom

1202
01:08:27,000 --> 01:08:30,400
Speaker 1: Flores belongs in the Hall of fame. And that's a

1203
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,759
Speaker 1: good note to end on. So we will do that, Armando,

1204
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,479
Speaker 1: thanks very much for the time. As always, I can't

1205
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:37,120
Speaker 1: guarantee that we're going to see you down there in

1206
01:08:37,160 --> 01:08:40,320
Speaker 1: week two because the likelihood of us traveling is probably

1207
01:08:40,360 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: pretty remote, but you'll see the bills anyway in week two.

1208
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 1: But we thank you very much for the time, Armando.

1209
01:08:45,680 --> 01:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Are they letting the Miami media anywhere close to practice?

1210
01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:53,160
Speaker 1: Has been some things on social media where almost all

1211
01:08:53,240 --> 01:08:55,880
Speaker 1: the teams around the league are keeping their media at

1212
01:08:56,000 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: arm's length, to say the least. How is it in Miami? Well,

1213
01:09:00,439 --> 01:09:04,599
Speaker 1: we're at five arms length, but we're actually watching practice.

1214
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:09,080
Speaker 1: It's it's good. I've seen every practice, all three of them,

1215
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: and we're gonna be at the game's obviously no in

1216
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:18,320
Speaker 1: person interviews. We're not going into the locker room, nothing

1217
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,839
Speaker 1: like it used to be. Steve, it's all on zoom.

1218
01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:27,320
Speaker 1: It's all you know, super masks masked up. You know,

1219
01:09:27,439 --> 01:09:29,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm ready to rob a bank sometimes when I'm

1220
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:36,400
Speaker 1: interviewing people. But but it beats nothing, and that's what

1221
01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 1: we had before this. Yeah, amen to that. All right, Armando,

1222
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:42,360
Speaker 1: thanks for the time. As always, we appreciate the insight.

1223
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:45,160
Speaker 1: All right, man, thank you. All right. That was Radio

1224
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 1: dot Com Sports insider Armando Salgaro Insider Calls, brought to

1225
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: you by Penn's Oil Motor oils made from natural gas.

1226
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:56,880
Speaker 1: The proof is in the Penn's Oil. Steve, I gotta

1227
01:09:56,880 --> 01:10:00,080
Speaker 1: tell you, I was wondering how they were going to

1228
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: make use of Shack Lawson in that three four front,

1229
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:05,440
Speaker 1: because if they were going to make him an outside linebacker,

1230
01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: it just flat out wasn't gonna work. He has he's

1231
01:10:07,280 --> 01:10:09,920
Speaker 1: not cut out to play that position. That's not his

1232
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,439
Speaker 1: athletic he's not athletic enough to do that quite. He

1233
01:10:12,479 --> 01:10:14,960
Speaker 1: can't play in reverse, he can't play backing up, and

1234
01:10:15,040 --> 01:10:17,200
Speaker 1: he doesn't really play in space. He's a go forward,

1235
01:10:17,240 --> 01:10:19,479
Speaker 1: get after the quarterback type of defensive lineman, a guy

1236
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:22,320
Speaker 1: who's a gap control take on somebody and try and

1237
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: make a play that's he's not a drop into the flat,

1238
01:10:26,800 --> 01:10:29,080
Speaker 1: pick off a pass on the out route and go

1239
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: as He's not that kind of gay. So it sounds

1240
01:10:31,360 --> 01:10:34,400
Speaker 1: like they are using him the right way based on

1241
01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 1: his skill set. And Armando even said he's not only

1242
01:10:38,080 --> 01:10:41,200
Speaker 1: going to play like that five technique edge guy in

1243
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: the three four, but they're going to kick him inside

1244
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 1: and pass rush situations when they have that fifty front

1245
01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,759
Speaker 1: look that kind of thing. So yeah, I'm really interested

1246
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 1: to see how they make use of his skill sets.

1247
01:10:51,520 --> 01:10:53,160
Speaker 1: So it sounds like they're on the right track with

1248
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:56,200
Speaker 1: the way they want to use him in that defensive front.

1249
01:10:56,200 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 1: And it's going to be a heavy lift for for

1250
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 1: that defense, because yes, they have oodles more talent than

1251
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 1: they did last year just by virtue of their activity

1252
01:11:06,920 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: and free agency, but again, pulling it all together with

1253
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:14,920
Speaker 1: three and a half weeks of practice and have guys

1254
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Speaker 1: know how to play off one another, it's not gonna

1255
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: they're not all going to be singing from the same hymn.

1256
01:11:19,439 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: The way the Bills defense is, which which has players

1257
01:11:21,880 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 1: that have largely played the better part of the last

1258
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,640
Speaker 1: three or four seasons together, it really to me it

1259
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:29,559
Speaker 1: doesn't surprise me or scare me that Xavian Howard hasn't

1260
01:11:29,560 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: practiced yet. That's so early in camp there, three weeks away,

1261
01:11:31,960 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 1: it's going to take him a while to get back

1262
01:11:33,360 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 1: into shape. He's going to get off the COVID list

1263
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: pretty quickly, and he'll have a chance to get back

1264
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: in if he is. You know, if the virus knocked

1265
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:42,479
Speaker 1: him off his feet, as you said, it may be

1266
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: right at the starter that last week before the opening

1267
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: day where Xavian Howard actually gets on the field feeling

1268
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 1: like himself. So that may be a problem, but going forward,

1269
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:54,559
Speaker 1: I don't I since that's probably a better thing that

1270
01:11:54,600 --> 01:11:57,040
Speaker 1: happens now at the early part of camp than than not.

1271
01:11:57,640 --> 01:12:02,680
Speaker 1: And like we've said, analytics, those two corners make that

1272
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:05,960
Speaker 1: defensive front even better than it would otherwise be because

1273
01:12:06,320 --> 01:12:08,320
Speaker 1: those guys are gonna get covered up on the outside.

1274
01:12:08,479 --> 01:12:10,960
Speaker 1: So Miami's going to be better, there's no question about it.

1275
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:14,160
Speaker 1: Certainly there's guarded optimism down there about how good they

1276
01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,160
Speaker 1: can be, but certainly they probably feel like the floor

1277
01:12:17,280 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: was set last year. We do want to get back

1278
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:23,920
Speaker 1: to the Twitter poll, and we'll probably do that in

1279
01:12:23,920 --> 01:12:26,479
Speaker 1: our next segment, but we do want to hear from you.

1280
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,000
Speaker 1: What's the most interesting quarterback situation when it comes to

1281
01:12:29,040 --> 01:12:31,479
Speaker 1: the Bill's AFC East opponents. Is it fits or two

1282
01:12:31,479 --> 01:12:34,200
Speaker 1: in Miami, Cam's transition with the Pat's offense, or Sam

1283
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:37,160
Speaker 1: Darnald raising his game in year three. It didn't sound

1284
01:12:37,160 --> 01:12:40,040
Speaker 1: like Armando was anymore convinced that Darnold had enough help

1285
01:12:40,040 --> 01:12:42,639
Speaker 1: in New York. And who knows what's going on with

1286
01:12:43,160 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 1: Cam when Brian Hoyer's It's funny when Armando said Brian

1287
01:12:46,680 --> 01:12:49,400
Speaker 1: Hoyer was the leader in the clubhouse after yesterday's practice

1288
01:12:49,439 --> 01:12:51,680
Speaker 1: with performance on the practice field, a quarterback for the

1289
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:54,519
Speaker 1: Patriots say well, yeah, it's his third time through, he

1290
01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:57,240
Speaker 1: should be the best, right So you know what I mean?

1291
01:12:57,439 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 1: Right right now? You think too with Jared stood him there,

1292
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: he's still he's still got some growing pains to go through.

1293
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,040
Speaker 1: And now they might like him and he may be

1294
01:13:06,120 --> 01:13:10,000
Speaker 1: the guy that's there on opening Day. But I'm totally

1295
01:13:10,040 --> 01:13:11,920
Speaker 1: of the on board with the fact that they're gonna

1296
01:13:11,960 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 1: go with multiple packages. They may have three different all

1297
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 1: three of those quarterbacks may see the field. You never know.

1298
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:20,160
Speaker 1: With Bill Belichick, certainly Cam is gonna get on the

1299
01:13:20,160 --> 01:13:23,200
Speaker 1: field on opening day. Whether he starts or not another story.

1300
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 1: And I wouldn't be surprised if Stidham gets in and

1301
01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,120
Speaker 1: gets a couple of series as well. They'll have packages

1302
01:13:29,640 --> 01:13:34,240
Speaker 1: because there's no reason. And you just know that these

1303
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,800
Speaker 1: NFL coaches, they're trying to win a game a game,

1304
01:13:37,360 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: and they're gonna throw everything but the kitchen and the

1305
01:13:40,200 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 1: kitchen sink at their opponent at trying to get an edge.

1306
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:45,360
Speaker 1: And that means all bets are off as to what

1307
01:13:45,400 --> 01:13:47,559
Speaker 1: these offenses are going to look like. So we will

1308
01:13:47,600 --> 01:13:50,240
Speaker 1: get to your comments on the tweet sheet as well

1309
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 1: as some comments from one Terren Johnson, Buffalo's Nickel Corner,

1310
01:13:54,800 --> 01:13:57,519
Speaker 1: addressed the media today via zoom, so we'll have some

1311
01:13:57,640 --> 01:14:00,599
Speaker 1: of his more noteworthy comments for you and we return

1312
01:14:00,680 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This

1313
01:14:03,560 --> 01:14:19,240
Speaker 1: is Buffalo Bill's Radio, Chris Brown, Steve Task here with

1314
01:14:19,280 --> 01:14:22,360
Speaker 1: you here on One Bill's Live. Second half of the

1315
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: show now underway. As we are here with you on

1316
01:14:25,479 --> 01:14:28,080
Speaker 1: this hump day broadcasting from the Seneca Studio at One

1317
01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:34,080
Speaker 1: Bills Drive. Walk through, jog through slash practice today for

1318
01:14:34,200 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 1: training camp. As you know, they took the pads off

1319
01:14:38,040 --> 01:14:40,680
Speaker 1: after two days of pads on Monday and Tuesday. It's

1320
01:14:40,840 --> 01:14:43,800
Speaker 1: not a whole lot to report from the practice field today,

1321
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:46,000
Speaker 1: but we will check in with Maddie clab at two

1322
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:48,960
Speaker 1: o'clock to see if there was anything specific she noticed

1323
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:52,639
Speaker 1: out there that she felt was worth noting. And we're

1324
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,280
Speaker 1: also going to hear from Taran Johnson in a little bit.

1325
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 1: But we do want to get to the tweet sheet,

1326
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,160
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1327
01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. As we

1328
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,679
Speaker 1: have been asking you on the show, what's the most

1329
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,920
Speaker 1: interesting quarterback situation when it comes to the Bills AFC

1330
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:16,559
Speaker 1: est opponents is that the two of fits debate in Miami.

1331
01:15:17,160 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 1: Is it Sam Darnold being able to raise his game

1332
01:15:20,200 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 1: in year three? Will it happen, won't it happen? Or

1333
01:15:23,240 --> 01:15:27,000
Speaker 1: is it Cam Newton's transition to the Patriots offense as

1334
01:15:27,040 --> 01:15:29,400
Speaker 1: he is very much in a three way battle up

1335
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,759
Speaker 1: there according to all reports coming out of New England.

1336
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:36,040
Speaker 1: So we start with Brian on the tweet sheet and

1337
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:39,719
Speaker 1: he says Sam doesn't have pieces around him for anyone

1338
01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,960
Speaker 1: to be excited. Cam is good, but we know what

1339
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:46,400
Speaker 1: we are getting TWOA was amazing in college pre injury.

1340
01:15:46,840 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 1: It's hard to not be intrigued about him. So he's

1341
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:52,519
Speaker 1: going with two of there. Now, we heard a much

1342
01:15:52,560 --> 01:15:57,759
Speaker 1: different situation from Armando where he, much like us, believes

1343
01:15:58,439 --> 01:16:00,800
Speaker 1: two is not seeing the field anytime. So yeah, almost

1344
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:02,880
Speaker 1: nobody believes two is going to start Week one, and

1345
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:05,240
Speaker 1: you can almost guarantee that the Bills will see fits

1346
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,599
Speaker 1: at quarterback for the Dolphins in Week two for that

1347
01:16:07,720 --> 01:16:10,800
Speaker 1: road game. Exactly. I think it's gonna be a while. Now.

1348
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: Certainly it's interesting and we're all, you know, you kind

1349
01:16:12,840 --> 01:16:16,080
Speaker 1: of like to see the guy practice. But even Armando

1350
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:21,519
Speaker 1: or Armando Salgaro said Josh Rosen looked better than two

1351
01:16:21,560 --> 01:16:24,840
Speaker 1: I did yesterday, right, So that's kind of disturbing to hear.

1352
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:29,120
Speaker 1: But and in all fairness, I thought Josh Rosen could

1353
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,519
Speaker 1: be a capable quarterback in this league. I mean, you

1354
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: think about the hand that that guy was dealt. He's

1355
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,479
Speaker 1: the first round draft pick of the Arizona Cardinals, taking

1356
01:16:37,560 --> 01:16:42,799
Speaker 1: tenth overall with a horrible roster, no offensive line, basically

1357
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,040
Speaker 1: Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk and a bunch of guys, and

1358
01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: then they switched head coaches head coach gets fired like

1359
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: what week three, Week four, So it was a schmazzle

1360
01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: from the word go right. Then he gets trade. He

1361
01:16:58,080 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 1: gets traded to Miami, another team horribly devoid of talent,

1362
01:17:05,040 --> 01:17:07,400
Speaker 1: who gets rid of their left tackle in a trade

1363
01:17:07,439 --> 01:17:11,280
Speaker 1: with Houston like two weeks before the season starts for

1364
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:16,400
Speaker 1: a bag of footballs. Yeah, and Kenny Stills they traded

1365
01:17:16,439 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: as well, basically for draft draft choices. So it's not

1366
01:17:19,720 --> 01:17:22,519
Speaker 1: helping the roster last year and they have the worst

1367
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:24,840
Speaker 1: defense in football. So he and he didn't play last

1368
01:17:24,920 --> 01:17:27,439
Speaker 1: year very much either, although he got in as you said,

1369
01:17:27,439 --> 01:17:30,559
Speaker 1: he got in early, but Fitz was able to make

1370
01:17:30,640 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: chicken salad out of you know what, the right So

1371
01:17:32,520 --> 01:17:35,080
Speaker 1: then so now he's back in. They now that he's

1372
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:40,679
Speaker 1: behind another first round draft pick, and you know, Fitz magic.

1373
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: So this is a guy that has never really gotten

1374
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,920
Speaker 1: a shot. Yeah, and there were people, can you should

1375
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:52,080
Speaker 1: be in Josh Rosensteak. So these are your first two

1376
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: years in the NFL. Okay, you get drafted by Arizona.

1377
01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,880
Speaker 1: It's a disaster. You get replaced by the first pick

1378
01:17:57,920 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 1: in the draft and traded to Miami. You're in Miami

1379
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:05,120
Speaker 1: and that team's not any good either, and you're getting

1380
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 1: your head kicked in because there's no protection. You're benched.

1381
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:10,800
Speaker 1: You watch from the sidelines for the rest of the year.

1382
01:18:11,200 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 1: You're you're thinking, Okay, didn't go well, they got a

1383
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 1: high pick, they draft Toua and then the pandemic. You

1384
01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 1: gotta be like, is the sky falling next? Like, what

1385
01:18:25,360 --> 01:18:28,679
Speaker 1: the hell else is going to happen? Don't live anywhere

1386
01:18:28,720 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: near Josh Rosen because a meteor might be striking soon.

1387
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 1: Two and a half years ago, that kid was about

1388
01:18:32,840 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 1: to be draft in the first round of the NFL Draft, thinking, man,

1389
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: oh man, this is it is gonna be awesome. And

1390
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:39,559
Speaker 1: now look, you know, two and a half years later,

1391
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 1: with a cherry on the cake of the pandemic. Guy

1392
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,040
Speaker 1: should take a stronger look at my accounting degree, right,

1393
01:18:46,360 --> 01:18:50,240
Speaker 1: I mean, and I think about it too. He could

1394
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: have been picked by the Bills, by the Jets, anybody

1395
01:18:56,400 --> 01:19:02,120
Speaker 1: after Cleveland, that spot where the Bills ended up at seven, right,

1396
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, so they were considered Moroncos could have taken

1397
01:19:05,479 --> 01:19:08,680
Speaker 1: Broncos could have taken him. Yeah, it was because they

1398
01:19:08,760 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: moved down to what twelve? Oh no, he was gone

1399
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:15,439
Speaker 1: by that Arizona took him tip. Yeah, so it's amazing that,

1400
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:19,280
Speaker 1: you know, the it's a roller coaster he's been on

1401
01:19:19,800 --> 01:19:21,680
Speaker 1: for the last It's hard to feel the guy, you

1402
01:19:21,760 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 1: know what I mean. And I don't know whether you

1403
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:24,760
Speaker 1: like him or you don't like him. That is not

1404
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,720
Speaker 1: a hand you would want to deal anybody. And you

1405
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:28,639
Speaker 1: know when when they when that whole class came out

1406
01:19:28,680 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: with Mayfield, Darnold, Alan, you know, Jackson, and Josh Rosen,

1407
01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: there were people all over the map. They that Josh

1408
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: Rosen could be the first pick of the draft. He remember,

1409
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:41,080
Speaker 1: I can still remember the scouting report. He was the

1410
01:19:41,120 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 1: guy that came out of the best pro ready system

1411
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: over at UCLA. He was the guy that ran an offense,

1412
01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 1: pro location, great, all of that stuff. And you know

1413
01:19:52,960 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: there were people that liked obviously, there's a lot of

1414
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:58,080
Speaker 1: people who liked him as a quarterback. So things change.

1415
01:19:58,439 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 1: Life comes at you fast, Brownie. And now he's calling you,

1416
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,360
Speaker 1: you know, Ferris Bueller here quoting that life comes at

1417
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:09,479
Speaker 1: your fast. Thing. Um from Ronnie on the tweet sheet.

1418
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 1: You have to go with the Pats situation on this one.

1419
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: The other two I don't see posing any threat to

1420
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:17,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo's pursuit of the AFC East Crown. If Cam is

1421
01:20:17,439 --> 01:20:19,920
Speaker 1: old Cam, the Pats may be a challenge yet again,

1422
01:20:20,760 --> 01:20:23,599
Speaker 1: will be a challenge yet again. Not Maybe they're they're

1423
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,840
Speaker 1: gonna be tough to beat. Again, They're gonna be different.

1424
01:20:26,080 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: They're not gonna have a number one defense, I would think, Yeah,

1425
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: but they're still gonna be really competitive, really competitive under

1426
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:37,519
Speaker 1: any circumstances, and they're gonna be hard to beat. Uh So, Yeah,

1427
01:20:37,600 --> 01:20:40,560
Speaker 1: the Pats will be a challenge, no question about it.

1428
01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,000
Speaker 1: And in my mind, I've never I've never wavered off that.

1429
01:20:43,160 --> 01:20:45,720
Speaker 1: I just I'm not jumping off the bandwagon. You're not

1430
01:20:45,800 --> 01:20:48,200
Speaker 1: ready to kick dirt on him, Yeah, because they lost

1431
01:20:48,240 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: a quarterback. We did also want to get to some

1432
01:20:51,680 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: comments from one Terren Johnson, the nickel corner for the Bills,

1433
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:57,719
Speaker 1: who was available via zoom call to the media today,

1434
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 1: had some interesting comments that he made. You know, this

1435
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 1: is year three for him. He's wholly familiar with this defense.

1436
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,639
Speaker 1: Injuries have been an issue for him. You know, he's

1437
01:21:09,680 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 1: not a man of tremendous stature, but he plays a

1438
01:21:13,360 --> 01:21:18,360
Speaker 1: super aggressive game and playing in there in the slot

1439
01:21:18,479 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 1: in this defense, there are a lot of run game

1440
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:24,120
Speaker 1: responsibilities where there are times where the nickel in this

1441
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 1: defense has to almost act like a third linebacker. So

1442
01:21:27,960 --> 01:21:32,800
Speaker 1: that has kind of been tough for him to stay healthy, available,

1443
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,680
Speaker 1: and on the field the first two seasons. So he

1444
01:21:35,840 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: was asked about that and how he's dealing with that

1445
01:21:39,160 --> 01:21:45,280
Speaker 1: going forward to be better and more available week to week. Really,

1446
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 1: I just say, just sticking to my script. I have

1447
01:21:49,240 --> 01:21:52,919
Speaker 1: a script this year that is something that I definitely

1448
01:21:53,040 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 1: am going to be on and it's just something that

1449
01:21:57,439 --> 01:21:59,160
Speaker 1: I know I have to focus on and I've been

1450
01:21:59,200 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: focusing on it, and it's just something I just want

1451
01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: to show people that, yeah, I will, with God's grace,

1452
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:11,920
Speaker 1: stay healthy. You know what I'm saying. But yeah, it's

1453
01:22:11,960 --> 01:22:14,080
Speaker 1: just a script I'm sticking to. Just trying to make

1454
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:18,160
Speaker 1: sure that I'm staying discipline in uh, in my day's

1455
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:22,520
Speaker 1: off and in this past offseason. I mean, your physicality

1456
01:22:22,720 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 1: is one of the high points that separates you in

1457
01:22:24,960 --> 01:22:27,599
Speaker 1: your game. Is there any part of you that says,

1458
01:22:27,680 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 1: do I need to dial it back or juggling? You know,

1459
01:22:31,200 --> 01:22:35,400
Speaker 1: how to balance being a physical player like you are

1460
01:22:35,640 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: while understanding that maybe is contributing to some of the

1461
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:43,000
Speaker 1: injury issues. I'm not dialing it back, you know, I'm

1462
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,400
Speaker 1: gonna keep playing. I know how to play, and that's

1463
01:22:46,439 --> 01:22:49,880
Speaker 1: just that's just how it is. And and I feel

1464
01:22:49,960 --> 01:22:52,200
Speaker 1: like maybe the past two years I could have done

1465
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:56,120
Speaker 1: more off the fields as far as staying healthy. And

1466
01:22:56,520 --> 01:22:59,680
Speaker 1: that's what I'm gonna do this hit because that first year,

1467
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, he was playing great, and he had the

1468
01:23:02,520 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 1: shoulder injury and the opener against Baltimore and played with

1469
01:23:06,280 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: a bad wing for about twelve more games before they

1470
01:23:09,520 --> 01:23:13,599
Speaker 1: finally shut him down, you know. And then last year

1471
01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,120
Speaker 1: he had some knicks that kept him out of the lineup,

1472
01:23:16,160 --> 01:23:18,479
Speaker 1: and it forced the Bills to go to players like

1473
01:23:18,600 --> 01:23:22,360
Speaker 1: Siran Neil and Dean Marlowe as phillins in that nickel

1474
01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: spot because they were a little shorthanded in terms of

1475
01:23:25,040 --> 01:23:28,200
Speaker 1: an ideal fit. And it's going to be interesting to

1476
01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 1: see if there are other players that are considered, you know,

1477
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:36,639
Speaker 1: even from a depth perspective for that nickel corner spot

1478
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 1: because of the fact that it's been tough for arn

1479
01:23:39,680 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: to stay healthy for sixteen games. Yeah, and it comes

1480
01:23:42,720 --> 01:23:45,360
Speaker 1: down to, like he said, off the field, discipline off

1481
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 1: the field, and there's a lot that goes into it.

1482
01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 1: He admitted himself that there were some things he can

1483
01:23:53,520 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 1: do off the field, and that means training, that means

1484
01:23:55,600 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: staying hydrated, all of that stuff, preventative maintenance, preventative maintenance

1485
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:02,120
Speaker 1: that you learn if you've been in the league for

1486
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: a while, you know the ice baths and all that stuff.

1487
01:24:05,080 --> 01:24:09,559
Speaker 1: The thing about it is there's a lot of maintenance

1488
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:11,160
Speaker 1: that goes into it, a lot of stuff that you

1489
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:13,920
Speaker 1: gotta do that you don't feel like doing weekend, week out,

1490
01:24:14,320 --> 01:24:16,120
Speaker 1: and ultimately, you know, you get these guys and I

1491
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 1: went through this in the booth as a as an

1492
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:21,120
Speaker 1: analyst for CBS. When you get these guys on game Bay,

1493
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: they get start getting cramped up or whatever like that,

1494
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,040
Speaker 1: and they'll take them in get him an I listen,

1495
01:24:25,200 --> 01:24:28,400
Speaker 1: it's your responsibility. When you're cramping up, it's because you're dehydrated.

1496
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,800
Speaker 1: They didn't hydrate properly. That's the whole course of the

1497
01:24:30,880 --> 01:24:33,880
Speaker 1: week that's on you. It's not Wow, it's a hot day,

1498
01:24:33,880 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: but you know what, Yeah, there's a hundred other guys

1499
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,799
Speaker 1: out there. Nobody else is climping up. Check the forecast

1500
01:24:38,920 --> 01:24:41,519
Speaker 1: on Thursday for Sunday, So you're properly hydrated when you

1501
01:24:41,560 --> 01:24:45,040
Speaker 1: get out there, you've got it's your responsibility, and certainly

1502
01:24:45,120 --> 01:24:46,760
Speaker 1: the club will do everything they can to help you.

1503
01:24:46,760 --> 01:24:48,479
Speaker 1: They all have buckets of water there, but you know,

1504
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,760
Speaker 1: you can't make these guys drink all of it, right,

1505
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 1: You can't make them drink three You can't sit there

1506
01:24:53,880 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: and pour three bottles of water down them on the

1507
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,320
Speaker 1: flight down there, because you get to hydrated in the altitude.

1508
01:24:58,400 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 1: So it's it's up to the players. And I think

1509
01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: guys like Taron Johnson, now that he's a veteran player

1510
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: who's been around the block a couple of times, he's

1511
01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: starting to learn that it is on me to make

1512
01:25:08,479 --> 01:25:10,720
Speaker 1: sure I stay healthy. You can say, well, it's bad luck,

1513
01:25:10,760 --> 01:25:13,920
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, okay for you know, a blown

1514
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:16,800
Speaker 1: knee or something like that, pop shoulder, pop shoulder and

1515
01:25:16,800 --> 01:25:20,519
Speaker 1: all of that, Yes, but being healthy enough to practice

1516
01:25:20,560 --> 01:25:25,760
Speaker 1: every day and soft tissue injuries, it is it's your

1517
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:29,400
Speaker 1: responsibility to get into that and to keep that from happening.

1518
01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 1: And that's where he's talking about. One last comment from

1519
01:25:32,520 --> 01:25:36,799
Speaker 1: Taron that we wanted to get to was the connection

1520
01:25:37,400 --> 01:25:40,840
Speaker 1: with Isaiah Hodgens, the Bill sixth round pick this year,

1521
01:25:41,120 --> 01:25:43,960
Speaker 1: is someone that Taron Johnson was already familiar with, so

1522
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: let's hear about that connection. I mean, we're really we're

1523
01:25:48,560 --> 01:25:52,479
Speaker 1: from the same area. Basically. I knew about him a

1524
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:56,400
Speaker 1: while ago. He's a really, really good player. He's gonna

1525
01:25:56,400 --> 01:25:59,160
Speaker 1: be good in this league. And his ball skills are

1526
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 1: death what stands outside, So you know, familiar with one

1527
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,599
Speaker 1: of other Oregon ties there or California sorry, California ties.

1528
01:26:08,320 --> 01:26:11,240
Speaker 1: Both natives of California and didn't grow up all that

1529
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:13,840
Speaker 1: far from one another, so he heard about him before.

1530
01:26:13,960 --> 01:26:15,479
Speaker 1: So it's kind of crazy. It's kind of cool that

1531
01:26:15,560 --> 01:26:18,519
Speaker 1: they're both teammates now here on the eastern half of

1532
01:26:18,560 --> 01:26:21,840
Speaker 1: the country and working together and maybe even making each

1533
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,439
Speaker 1: other better. I don't know if they've lined up against

1534
01:26:24,479 --> 01:26:28,519
Speaker 1: one another all that much, but uh, you know, it's

1535
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,679
Speaker 1: competition out there on the field, and you know they're

1536
01:26:31,720 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: making each other better and that's what it's all about.

1537
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,720
Speaker 1: The ball skills are what and Hodgens is six four, right,

1538
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,559
Speaker 1: I mean this he's Yes, he's big, and he's made

1539
01:26:40,600 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: some plays this week, I mean his plays, the way

1540
01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,760
Speaker 1: he's performed it's been noticed this week by people. Yeah,

1541
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:48,800
Speaker 1: there's a spot for a guy like that if they

1542
01:26:48,840 --> 01:26:51,400
Speaker 1: can hang you know, hang on to him. But like

1543
01:26:51,560 --> 01:26:54,120
Speaker 1: we said, the bar has been raised for what it's

1544
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: you know, to make the team, and that goes today

1545
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,599
Speaker 1: like they cut Kari Vedvik today. I mean, they're making

1546
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 1: some decisions and you know, the train rolls on um

1547
01:27:04,560 --> 01:27:06,640
Speaker 1: our MSG viewers are you know, getting a load of

1548
01:27:06,680 --> 01:27:09,040
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodges making a high catch over the top of

1549
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:14,000
Speaker 1: a dB right there. It's this train's moving and it's

1550
01:27:14,040 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 1: gonna be really hard, and you'll see some guys cut

1551
01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:18,519
Speaker 1: from this team. I would think that are going to

1552
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:20,800
Speaker 1: go on to play well and play a lot for

1553
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: other football teams, maybe even this in this division, there's

1554
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:27,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of that going around. I think

1555
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:32,400
Speaker 1: eighth three five fifty fifty two five fifty to get

1556
01:27:32,439 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 1: on board with us, talk about what AFC quarterback storyline

1557
01:27:35,400 --> 01:27:38,680
Speaker 1: most fascinates you in terms of the Bills opponents this year.

1558
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:41,400
Speaker 1: And we'll get back to more of your tweet sheet

1559
01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:43,640
Speaker 1: when we come back. It's One Bill's Live, presented by

1560
01:27:43,720 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 1: Collid of Health. This is Buffalo Bills Radio One Bill Live.

1561
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:03,559
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you as we motor through

1562
01:28:03,760 --> 01:28:08,479
Speaker 1: the second hour of the program and some interesting news

1563
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:12,519
Speaker 1: from NFL Networks Tom Pella Sero, who is reporting on

1564
01:28:12,920 --> 01:28:15,639
Speaker 1: some of the game day protocols that are being put

1565
01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:19,080
Speaker 1: in place by the league, obviously to reduce the risk

1566
01:28:19,160 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 1: of exposure for players, coaches, officials. They're going to reduce

1567
01:28:22,920 --> 01:28:28,479
Speaker 1: the traffic on the sidelines around the field obviously, as

1568
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:31,200
Speaker 1: we know, there can be a gaggle of people down

1569
01:28:31,240 --> 01:28:38,560
Speaker 1: there between photographers, videographers, sideline reporters, cheerleaders. So Tom Pellaceo

1570
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:42,240
Speaker 1: from NFL Network is reporting now that cheerleaders and mascots

1571
01:28:42,680 --> 01:28:44,759
Speaker 1: will not be allowed on the field during the twenty

1572
01:28:44,840 --> 01:28:50,280
Speaker 1: twenty season. Billy Buffalo has been banned from the sidelines.

1573
01:28:50,400 --> 01:28:52,720
Speaker 1: What does this world coming to? Steve the stams will

1574
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:55,680
Speaker 1: can run around up there, all that's true, we could

1575
01:28:55,720 --> 01:28:58,439
Speaker 1: do that, but I'm kind of thinking this. He kind

1576
01:28:58,439 --> 01:29:00,760
Speaker 1: of already has a mask on. Does He's got this

1577
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: big giant buffalo head on. Good point. I mean, that's

1578
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: pretty much a face covering, isn't it. I'm just saying

1579
01:29:07,280 --> 01:29:09,360
Speaker 1: they would have to peep over the big ones, like

1580
01:29:09,479 --> 01:29:12,280
Speaker 1: over hooking onto his horns. No, Billy's got to wear

1581
01:29:12,320 --> 01:29:14,840
Speaker 1: a mask, Okay, because Billy is I'm sure he will.

1582
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:17,280
Speaker 1: There's not a human being show in Billy. It's just

1583
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:21,200
Speaker 1: it's a real thing. Yeah. So again, according to Tom Pellicero,

1584
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,880
Speaker 1: cheerleaders in mascots not allowed on the field during the

1585
01:29:23,920 --> 01:29:27,920
Speaker 1: twenty twenty season, according to updated NFL NFLPA protocols that

1586
01:29:28,040 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: have been sent to clubs. Another way, the NFL will

1587
01:29:31,320 --> 01:29:34,320
Speaker 1: look different in the COVID nineteen world. Other groups now

1588
01:29:34,439 --> 01:29:37,880
Speaker 1: prohibited from field access in twenty twenty according to the

1589
01:29:38,000 --> 01:29:43,919
Speaker 1: updated game day protocols, network sideline reporters and pregame television reporters.

1590
01:29:44,520 --> 01:29:50,160
Speaker 1: So I'll have to break the news to Mattie next

1591
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,439
Speaker 1: hour that our Bill's field pass show will be taking

1592
01:29:52,479 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: place from another location besides the field, because we will

1593
01:29:55,240 --> 01:30:00,439
Speaker 1: not beat down here before games. So there's that. So, yes,

1594
01:30:00,600 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: everybody's gonna have to adjust. If there's no fans in

1595
01:30:03,400 --> 01:30:04,880
Speaker 1: the stands once again, you can just go up in

1596
01:30:04,920 --> 01:30:07,519
Speaker 1: a row. We'll stand in the mezzanine and it'll be

1597
01:30:07,560 --> 01:30:09,720
Speaker 1: a beautiful backdrop up in the stands, stand on the

1598
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:13,760
Speaker 1: photo deck or the mezzanine somewhere up there. And here's

1599
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:16,720
Speaker 1: the thing too, The people don't realize it is no

1600
01:30:16,880 --> 01:30:18,880
Speaker 1: small thing to be on the sidelines in an NFL game,

1601
01:30:19,240 --> 01:30:22,960
Speaker 1: They've got observers say, well, everybody's that's not what I mean.

1602
01:30:23,360 --> 01:30:28,360
Speaker 1: They've got league officials in the press box with binoculars

1603
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:33,679
Speaker 1: looking at the sidelines making sure every single human being

1604
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:36,639
Speaker 1: on the sideline is supposed to be there, and if

1605
01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:39,439
Speaker 1: they're not, they get tapped on the shoulder and said

1606
01:30:39,439 --> 01:30:43,519
Speaker 1: you gotta leave. They be properly credential. I cost a

1607
01:30:43,600 --> 01:30:47,320
Speaker 1: guy his job one time because I was on this

1608
01:30:47,560 --> 01:30:50,280
Speaker 1: in the bench area and one of the chain gang

1609
01:30:51,520 --> 01:30:53,240
Speaker 1: was there, and you know, there's always three guys at

1610
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:55,080
Speaker 1: the chain gang. There's you know, at each end of

1611
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,000
Speaker 1: the chains, and in the downmark they always do have

1612
01:30:57,080 --> 01:30:59,320
Speaker 1: this other guy with a clipboard there that writes all

1613
01:30:59,360 --> 01:31:02,480
Speaker 1: the down and dis rate. So they got with the clipboards.

1614
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,880
Speaker 1: A friend of mine from here in Buffalo, and I

1615
01:31:04,920 --> 01:31:07,160
Speaker 1: didn't know he was on the you know, hey, I

1616
01:31:07,240 --> 01:31:09,200
Speaker 1: go come, I go come right, he goes, He goes,

1617
01:31:09,240 --> 01:31:11,439
Speaker 1: I can't, I go, yeah, come here. You He's like

1618
01:31:11,439 --> 01:31:13,160
Speaker 1: all right, So he walks over and talks to me

1619
01:31:13,439 --> 01:31:14,800
Speaker 1: and I go, what are you doing again? He's well,

1620
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:16,639
Speaker 1: I've been doing it, and I go, okay, cool, that's awesome.

1621
01:31:16,680 --> 01:31:19,240
Speaker 1: So he walks back. He lost his job because he

1622
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:21,560
Speaker 1: because he was They got him for wandering over and

1623
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:25,840
Speaker 1: talking to players and I called him over. They don't

1624
01:31:26,080 --> 01:31:29,640
Speaker 1: mess around with his sideline stuff. Okay. Anyway, well, you

1625
01:31:29,720 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 1: know what it's like, don't you. Right, It's like the

1626
01:31:32,240 --> 01:31:34,720
Speaker 1: guess some of these stadiums are like the Gestapo. Yeah,

1627
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:37,880
Speaker 1: it's I mean, they're like me, step back, step behind,

1628
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:40,360
Speaker 1: but you're touching that line, thank you, step off the way,

1629
01:31:40,960 --> 01:31:43,479
Speaker 1: like what it's a chalk line. And it's crowded down there,

1630
01:31:43,600 --> 01:31:45,680
Speaker 1: especially pre game. You're trying to just find an inch

1631
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:48,840
Speaker 1: of space to operate where you're not putting yourself at

1632
01:31:48,920 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: risk based on what's going on in pregame warm up,

1633
01:31:50,880 --> 01:31:53,160
Speaker 1: so you don't take a football in the year yeah. Um.

1634
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:55,679
Speaker 1: And then at the same time, you're trying to stay

1635
01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,760
Speaker 1: out of the way of other people that have other

1636
01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,280
Speaker 1: jobs to do just like you. So you're trying to

1637
01:32:01,360 --> 01:32:04,519
Speaker 1: just find your little niche there. And now to every

1638
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:08,519
Speaker 1: every team uses it as an incentive for selling sweets

1639
01:32:09,040 --> 01:32:12,680
Speaker 1: so for your sweet game, you can all come down

1640
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:15,280
Speaker 1: pregame sidelines. So they got like five hundred people down

1641
01:32:15,320 --> 01:32:18,599
Speaker 1: there in jerseys and cameras and staring and taking staring

1642
01:32:18,680 --> 01:32:21,120
Speaker 1: and jumping up and down and calling players over and oh,

1643
01:32:21,200 --> 01:32:22,760
Speaker 1: you know, it's fun. It's great. I mean, it's nice

1644
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: for people to do that, and it's a great incentive

1645
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:25,880
Speaker 1: and I think it's a good thing. But they kick

1646
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:31,000
Speaker 1: them all out after before the anthem, and so you're

1647
01:32:31,080 --> 01:32:32,760
Speaker 1: dealing with all is you're trying to imagine to it,

1648
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,439
Speaker 1: trying to do a live shot with you know, yeah,

1649
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:41,320
Speaker 1: Charlie six pack yelling in your ear. You know, it's

1650
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: it's pretty bad. Sometimes it's part of the atmosphere. So

1651
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 1: now they're now nobody can be down there, No cheerleaders. No,

1652
01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:49,400
Speaker 1: they got they got to reduce the numbers because that's

1653
01:32:49,439 --> 01:32:51,240
Speaker 1: the only way to reduce the risks exposure. And if

1654
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:52,600
Speaker 1: you don't have fans in the first eight row of

1655
01:32:52,640 --> 01:32:57,000
Speaker 1: the stands, you certainly shouldn't have any extra people running

1656
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,720
Speaker 1: around the sideline game that are breathing on the players too.

1657
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:03,040
Speaker 1: And it makes complete set. I totally get it. That's true. Uh,

1658
01:33:03,320 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 1: what's the most interesting quarterback situation when it comes to

1659
01:33:05,800 --> 01:33:08,759
Speaker 1: the Bills AFC East opponents? That is the twitter poll.

1660
01:33:09,200 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 1: And we go back to the tweet sheet presented by

1661
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,840
Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment moving company of the

1662
01:33:13,880 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, and from Seth, he says Darnold is the

1663
01:33:17,520 --> 01:33:19,639
Speaker 1: one nobody's talking about. I hope he and the Jets

1664
01:33:19,720 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 1: continue to be mediocre or worse, but he has the

1665
01:33:22,600 --> 01:33:25,040
Speaker 1: potential to make a big leap this year with continuity

1666
01:33:25,360 --> 01:33:30,639
Speaker 1: and no bars open to catch Mono. Low blow there, Seth. Wow,

1667
01:33:31,320 --> 01:33:35,559
Speaker 1: but going the Mono route, yes, I really don't think

1668
01:33:35,680 --> 01:33:39,679
Speaker 1: he's got enough around him. I mean, Robbie Anderson's in Carolina,

1669
01:33:39,800 --> 01:33:41,760
Speaker 1: that was his number one target last year. He's got

1670
01:33:41,800 --> 01:33:45,240
Speaker 1: a decent slot receiver in Jamison Crowder and a tight

1671
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:47,519
Speaker 1: end that looks like he might have some potential in

1672
01:33:47,640 --> 01:33:50,320
Speaker 1: Chris Herndon. Their number one guy was Quincy and Nona,

1673
01:33:50,400 --> 01:33:52,920
Speaker 1: who was a really good player, and he's now he's not.

1674
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,519
Speaker 1: That's a that's a huge blow for them. And Denzel Mims,

1675
01:33:57,560 --> 01:33:59,920
Speaker 1: their top draft choice, has a hamstring Injurine is expect

1676
01:34:00,120 --> 01:34:01,880
Speaker 1: to be out two to three weeks. That's not helping

1677
01:34:01,960 --> 01:34:04,760
Speaker 1: things either. So I mean, that's a rookie that's trying

1678
01:34:04,760 --> 01:34:08,320
Speaker 1: to learn and get on the same page with Darnold

1679
01:34:08,360 --> 01:34:10,760
Speaker 1: and now he's gonna miss valuable practice. Time in the

1680
01:34:10,840 --> 01:34:12,800
Speaker 1: run up to the regular season, oh, by the way,

1681
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:15,000
Speaker 1: which is against the Bills in Week one. Yeah, but

1682
01:34:15,040 --> 01:34:17,920
Speaker 1: they do have some continuity there. Adam Gase's hat now

1683
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,160
Speaker 1: had Darnald for a while and he's got another year

1684
01:34:20,200 --> 01:34:22,400
Speaker 1: in the system. Darnald will come in ready to play.

1685
01:34:22,479 --> 01:34:24,760
Speaker 1: They've tried to do some work on their offensive line,

1686
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:28,960
Speaker 1: which is going to really help. And if your offensive

1687
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: line's great, your quarterback's going to be at least good,

1688
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:35,600
Speaker 1: and Darnald is. I know that. I've got a lot

1689
01:34:35,640 --> 01:34:37,400
Speaker 1: of respect for Sam. I think Sam's going to be

1690
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:39,360
Speaker 1: a really good quarterback, and he's in a bad spot

1691
01:34:39,400 --> 01:34:41,080
Speaker 1: with the way the Jets have gone the last two

1692
01:34:41,120 --> 01:34:43,400
Speaker 1: years of his Again, I just think he's in a

1693
01:34:43,920 --> 01:34:45,280
Speaker 1: has been in a rough spot. It's going to get

1694
01:34:45,320 --> 01:34:46,960
Speaker 1: better this year, I think for Sam Darnold, and I

1695
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,880
Speaker 1: think he'll start to reach his potential. Like I've always anyone,

1696
01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,000
Speaker 1: when Murph was here, we both had a lot of

1697
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:54,559
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for Sam Darnold kind of player

1698
01:34:54,600 --> 01:34:57,120
Speaker 1: he could be. But like you said, like we've made

1699
01:34:57,160 --> 01:34:59,600
Speaker 1: the point, he's kind of buy himself over there for

1700
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:01,559
Speaker 1: a while. Now it looks like he's got a little

1701
01:35:01,600 --> 01:35:05,000
Speaker 1: help last one that we have time for for now

1702
01:35:05,120 --> 01:35:07,400
Speaker 1: from Jeremy, The Jets and Dolphins aren't the issue in

1703
01:35:07,439 --> 01:35:10,200
Speaker 1: this division. So I say Cam Belichick will find a

1704
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,000
Speaker 1: way to make Cam work in his system. He let

1705
01:35:12,040 --> 01:35:14,599
Speaker 1: him Matt Castle run offense to an eleven and five record.

1706
01:35:14,840 --> 01:35:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm sure he'll find a way to usialize Cam to

1707
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:19,800
Speaker 1: be advantageous to the team. And I think a lot

1708
01:35:19,880 --> 01:35:21,439
Speaker 1: of people have that kind of faith in him. So

1709
01:35:21,920 --> 01:35:24,479
Speaker 1: that's not surprising that that sentiment is out there. Yeah,

1710
01:35:25,720 --> 01:35:28,120
Speaker 1: and you're probably sharing that sentiment. I do. If Cam

1711
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,360
Speaker 1: Newton is healthy, Bill Belichick will find a way to

1712
01:35:31,479 --> 01:35:34,160
Speaker 1: use him, and he'll use him innovator in a different way,

1713
01:35:34,280 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 1: in unexpected ways. And I think this team in New

1714
01:35:37,520 --> 01:35:41,559
Speaker 1: England is going to be vastly different from the first

1715
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:43,639
Speaker 1: month of the season to the last month of the season.

1716
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:46,000
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna win some games, and I think

1717
01:35:46,040 --> 01:35:47,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna be I think they're going at the end

1718
01:35:47,520 --> 01:35:48,800
Speaker 1: of this year. I think they're gonna be a tough

1719
01:35:48,840 --> 01:35:51,320
Speaker 1: team to beat, just like they always are, whether Tom

1720
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,920
Speaker 1: Brady's there or not. I think Cam Newton will get

1721
01:35:54,000 --> 01:35:57,879
Speaker 1: more comfortable, they'll start to expand on his play selection

1722
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:00,320
Speaker 1: on his menu of plays that they feel comfortable running

1723
01:36:00,320 --> 01:36:02,599
Speaker 1: with him, and they'll add stuff that nobody's seen before,

1724
01:36:03,080 --> 01:36:05,639
Speaker 1: and it's it's tough to get ready for that. Yeah,

1725
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:08,320
Speaker 1: I just think it's a lot to a lot to

1726
01:36:08,400 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 1: fix up there. I think it might. I'm not saying

1727
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:13,560
Speaker 1: they won't be competitive. I'm not saying they won't be

1728
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:16,000
Speaker 1: a tough out when the Bills play him, because by

1729
01:36:16,040 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 1: the time the Bills play him in November, they're gonna

1730
01:36:18,920 --> 01:36:22,599
Speaker 1: be playing better football. But I wouldn't be surprised if

1731
01:36:22,600 --> 01:36:24,240
Speaker 1: they stumble a little bit at the beginning of the year.

1732
01:36:24,280 --> 01:36:26,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot to fix there. The to do list

1733
01:36:26,560 --> 01:36:29,400
Speaker 1: is extremely long, probably longer than it's been since Belichick

1734
01:36:29,479 --> 01:36:33,240
Speaker 1: took over. And as good, even as good as Bill

1735
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:34,800
Speaker 1: Belichick is, I don't know if he can get all

1736
01:36:34,800 --> 01:36:37,799
Speaker 1: those holes plugged in time. So I think Bill Belichick

1737
01:36:37,920 --> 01:36:40,599
Speaker 1: is gonna he may win six games this next year.

1738
01:36:40,960 --> 01:36:43,320
Speaker 1: They may go they may go ten win. I think

1739
01:36:43,360 --> 01:36:45,640
Speaker 1: they can win ten games. Wow, six of them are

1740
01:36:45,680 --> 01:36:49,800
Speaker 1: gonna be with smoke and mirrors. All right, fair enough,

1741
01:36:49,840 --> 01:36:51,599
Speaker 1: we have to take a break. But when we return,

1742
01:36:52,160 --> 01:36:54,719
Speaker 1: it's our own colleague, Maddie glab who will be joining

1743
01:36:54,800 --> 01:36:57,200
Speaker 1: us as she's gonna give us some of her observations

1744
01:36:57,280 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: from the practice field a training camp, and we'll also

1745
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:02,080
Speaker 1: throw the Twitter poll at her see what she thinks

1746
01:37:02,160 --> 01:37:05,880
Speaker 1: is the most compelling quarterback storyline of the Bill's AFC

1747
01:37:06,200 --> 01:37:08,840
Speaker 1: East opponents. That's all coming up next here on One

1748
01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:23,440
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health on Buffalo Bill's Radiofalo

1749
01:37:23,560 --> 01:37:28,360
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio Network. Sports update here a sports update from

1750
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:31,040
Speaker 1: One Bill's Drive. Day three of Bill's camp wrapped up

1751
01:37:31,080 --> 01:37:33,839
Speaker 1: this morning. A lighter workload for the players today following

1752
01:37:33,880 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: two straight padded practices. Quick injury update not practicing today,

1753
01:37:37,600 --> 01:37:40,960
Speaker 1: where Tommy Sweeney still on the pup list, John Feliciano,

1754
01:37:41,040 --> 01:37:44,280
Speaker 1: Pat DeMarco, Ed Oliver, Robert Foster, and a new edition

1755
01:37:44,360 --> 01:37:47,880
Speaker 1: Quentin Jefferson with foot sore. Nows. If Cam Newton's going

1756
01:37:47,960 --> 01:37:51,160
Speaker 1: to succeed Tom Brady as the Patriots starting quarterback, he's

1757
01:37:51,200 --> 01:37:54,080
Speaker 1: got some work to do. Newton, Brian Hoyer, and Jared

1758
01:37:54,200 --> 01:37:56,360
Speaker 1: Stidham are splitting the reps at Pat's camp, with no

1759
01:37:56,479 --> 01:38:00,439
Speaker 1: one clearly favored as the starter. Patriots coach Bill Belichick

1760
01:38:00,479 --> 01:38:03,120
Speaker 1: has declined to name a starting quarterback and may not

1761
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:07,120
Speaker 1: do so for some time. Cheerleaders and mascots will not

1762
01:38:07,240 --> 01:38:09,320
Speaker 1: be allowed on the field during the twenty twenty season

1763
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:12,800
Speaker 1: in the NFL. That according to updated NFL and NFLPA

1764
01:38:12,920 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: protocols that's been sent to clubs that according to NFL

1765
01:38:16,520 --> 01:38:19,479
Speaker 1: Networks Tom Pella Sero, other groups now prohibited from field

1766
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:22,320
Speaker 1: access in twenty twenty according to the updated game day

1767
01:38:22,360 --> 01:38:28,040
Speaker 1: protocols include network sideline reporters and pregame television reporters. NHL

1768
01:38:28,080 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: playoffs continue in our underway as we speak. Tampa Bay

1769
01:38:30,840 --> 01:38:32,920
Speaker 1: can close out their series with the Blue Jackets with

1770
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:35,040
Speaker 1: a Game five win, but they're trailing right now in

1771
01:38:35,120 --> 01:38:38,240
Speaker 1: the third period three to two. Later today, it's the

1772
01:38:38,320 --> 01:38:40,519
Speaker 1: same deal for the Bruins as they leave their best

1773
01:38:40,560 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: of seven series with the Hurricanes three games to one. Tonight,

1774
01:38:43,600 --> 01:38:46,840
Speaker 1: the Coyotes and Avs face each other, and the Avs

1775
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: can close that one out with a win. Canadians and

1776
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:53,160
Speaker 1: Flyers do battle, with the Flyers facing elimination. Then finally

1777
01:38:53,240 --> 01:38:56,040
Speaker 1: it's the Canucks and Blues that series is not at

1778
01:38:56,080 --> 01:38:58,200
Speaker 1: a two, and finally, a handful of game twos in

1779
01:38:58,280 --> 01:39:00,920
Speaker 1: the NBA underway. At the bottom of the hour, it's

1780
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:03,719
Speaker 1: Nets and Raptors. Then it's the Jazz and Nuggets, seventy

1781
01:39:03,760 --> 01:39:07,160
Speaker 1: six Ers and Celtics, MAVs and Clippers rounding out tonight's

1782
01:39:07,160 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 1: slate of games. That is your update from One Bill's Drive,

1783
01:39:11,720 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you for our number three

1784
01:39:14,920 --> 01:39:18,160
Speaker 1: as we are broadcasting from the Seneca Studios at One

1785
01:39:18,240 --> 01:39:21,719
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive and probably somewhere about one hundred yards away

1786
01:39:21,800 --> 01:39:24,679
Speaker 1: on this One Bill's Drive campus is our next guest,

1787
01:39:24,760 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 1: our own colleague, the one the only, Maddie Glab who's

1788
01:39:27,840 --> 01:39:30,519
Speaker 1: been covering training camp for us from the field, and

1789
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 1: she joins us now via Skype because well, we can't

1790
01:39:34,400 --> 01:39:37,599
Speaker 1: socially distance three people in this studio properly, so Maddie's

1791
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:39,400
Speaker 1: got to jump on Skype to join us, even though

1792
01:39:39,760 --> 01:39:41,680
Speaker 1: we could probably shout and she might be able to

1793
01:39:41,760 --> 01:39:46,200
Speaker 1: hear us. So Maddie, thanks for joining us. Hello from

1794
01:39:46,280 --> 01:39:50,840
Speaker 1: down then, yeah, exactly, it might work, definitely farther than

1795
01:39:50,960 --> 01:39:55,000
Speaker 1: six feet away, that's right with our contact tracers. This

1796
01:39:55,160 --> 01:39:56,760
Speaker 1: is the world in which we live now, and I

1797
01:39:56,760 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 1: don't know if you've heard it in the update, Maddie,

1798
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:01,200
Speaker 1: you and I for Bill's Field Pass are going to

1799
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:03,519
Speaker 1: be in a different location than the field because we're

1800
01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 1: not going to be allowed down there according to the

1801
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:08,240
Speaker 1: new protocols, So we'll probably be up in the second

1802
01:40:08,320 --> 01:40:11,400
Speaker 1: deck somewhere. How are you going to do a live

1803
01:40:11,560 --> 01:40:15,360
Speaker 1: feed when remotely Well, we'll be on the second deck

1804
01:40:15,439 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 1: somewhere in the stands because there won't be any fans

1805
01:40:17,320 --> 01:40:19,240
Speaker 1: up there, so there'll be plenty of room to move

1806
01:40:19,320 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: to have a beautiful backdrop though, until it gets to

1807
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:26,439
Speaker 1: be December January, and then you're going to bed last year,

1808
01:40:27,120 --> 01:40:29,759
Speaker 1: see you too, smile on camera when it's six below

1809
01:40:30,040 --> 01:40:33,080
Speaker 1: being a snowsuit, it'll be totally fine. You know. Brownie

1810
01:40:33,120 --> 01:40:34,960
Speaker 1: will be on one side of the stadium. I'll be

1811
01:40:35,040 --> 01:40:36,839
Speaker 1: on the other. Yeah, that's right, we'll have to distance.

1812
01:40:38,840 --> 01:40:41,559
Speaker 1: So Maddie, you're you're one of the elite media people

1813
01:40:41,560 --> 01:40:43,880
Speaker 1: who actually gets to watch practice for a little bit.

1814
01:40:44,080 --> 01:40:47,439
Speaker 1: What what are your impressions after a couple of days, Well,

1815
01:40:47,520 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: today was definitely more of a glorified walk through. Two

1816
01:40:52,560 --> 01:40:55,880
Speaker 1: days of padded practice under their belts. Uh, they'll head

1817
01:40:55,920 --> 01:40:59,400
Speaker 1: back into pads later this week. But after two days,

1818
01:40:59,439 --> 01:41:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, it's seems like everything's going pretty well considering

1819
01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:06,720
Speaker 1: this type of off season that they've been in, and

1820
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,519
Speaker 1: some of the coaches have said that of their rookies

1821
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:12,720
Speaker 1: is that it's been a good transition going from these

1822
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:16,000
Speaker 1: zoom meetings where you can't really walk through anything in person,

1823
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:19,960
Speaker 1: to then the walkthroughs to now putting pads on and practicing.

1824
01:41:20,040 --> 01:41:23,960
Speaker 1: One player specifically that I wrote about today, Leslie Frasier

1825
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: commented on defensive end the rookie aj epinessa and how

1826
01:41:28,520 --> 01:41:31,519
Speaker 1: he's been taking all of this in but once they've

1827
01:41:31,600 --> 01:41:34,200
Speaker 1: been able to get to the field, it's not like

1828
01:41:34,360 --> 01:41:38,240
Speaker 1: he's lost anything. He's been in a really good place

1829
01:41:38,880 --> 01:41:41,519
Speaker 1: for where he should be as a rookie, especially one

1830
01:41:41,680 --> 01:41:47,320
Speaker 1: who he said, is learning all four positions. Per Eric Washington,

1831
01:41:48,080 --> 01:41:51,000
Speaker 1: the defensive line coach, wants him as well as I'm

1832
01:41:51,040 --> 01:41:55,880
Speaker 1: sure others, to learn more than just one position. As

1833
01:41:56,000 --> 01:41:59,360
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier has said multiple times, we're going to rotate

1834
01:41:59,479 --> 01:42:03,679
Speaker 1: players through this defensive line. I can't even imagine as

1835
01:42:03,720 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 1: a rookie coming in and going through a zoom off

1836
01:42:07,160 --> 01:42:11,280
Speaker 1: season and then being thrown into padded practices working at

1837
01:42:11,400 --> 01:42:15,519
Speaker 1: both defensive ends and defensive tackle positions. As he said,

1838
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:19,400
Speaker 1: he's been learning all four positions. I mean, what a

1839
01:42:19,479 --> 01:42:24,000
Speaker 1: whirlwind to have to do that. But Aj Fvanessa said,

1840
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:29,280
Speaker 1: I'm getting comfortable with being uncomfortable, and thankfully he has

1841
01:42:29,520 --> 01:42:34,840
Speaker 1: a room chock full of amazing veteran defensive lineman that

1842
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,200
Speaker 1: he can learn from. Right And Steve and I were

1843
01:42:37,240 --> 01:42:39,040
Speaker 1: talking about this earlier in the show because we played

1844
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 1: some of that AJ sound here during the program, including

1845
01:42:42,160 --> 01:42:45,120
Speaker 1: the one about him learning all four spots, and we

1846
01:42:45,280 --> 01:42:47,920
Speaker 1: kind of think part of that is a test too

1847
01:42:48,040 --> 01:42:51,599
Speaker 1: for the rookie, like how much volume can you handle

1848
01:42:52,120 --> 01:42:54,400
Speaker 1: and still execute your assignments on the field. And I

1849
01:42:54,439 --> 01:42:56,280
Speaker 1: guess if they get to a point where they feel, well,

1850
01:42:56,360 --> 01:42:58,800
Speaker 1: you know, AJ's not playing as fast as we know

1851
01:42:58,920 --> 01:43:01,759
Speaker 1: he can because he's probably thinking too much, they'll probably

1852
01:43:01,840 --> 01:43:04,160
Speaker 1: scale that back a little bit, I would think. So

1853
01:43:04,640 --> 01:43:06,400
Speaker 1: it'll be something for you to certainly keep an eye

1854
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:08,160
Speaker 1: on to see if he keeps sliding up and down

1855
01:43:08,240 --> 01:43:11,640
Speaker 1: that line over the course of training camp. Here. The

1856
01:43:11,720 --> 01:43:13,479
Speaker 1: other thing that we've kind of noticed in the early

1857
01:43:13,560 --> 01:43:16,400
Speaker 1: going here is the most spirited competition man. He seems

1858
01:43:16,439 --> 01:43:19,400
Speaker 1: to be between the receivers and the defensive backs. I

1859
01:43:19,439 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 1: think we all have come to understand that Josh Norman

1860
01:43:21,960 --> 01:43:24,479
Speaker 1: is a known chirper on the practice field, but it

1861
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:26,360
Speaker 1: looks like, you know, he may have met his match.

1862
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:29,320
Speaker 1: And somebody likes Stefon Diggs who maybe not maybe doesn't

1863
01:43:29,360 --> 01:43:31,800
Speaker 1: talk quite as much, but brings the intensity to the

1864
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:35,240
Speaker 1: practice field. Have you seen that. Yeah, they go back

1865
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:38,360
Speaker 1: and forth with each other, the wide receivers and the dbs.

1866
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,479
Speaker 1: After watching a couple days of padded practices, I mean

1867
01:43:41,960 --> 01:43:44,559
Speaker 1: Levi Wallace was out the corner for the first day

1868
01:43:44,560 --> 01:43:46,559
Speaker 1: of padded practices, so we didn't get to see him.

1869
01:43:46,640 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 1: But on the second day even you have Josh Norman

1870
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:54,240
Speaker 1: with past breakups, you have Levi Wallace with some great coverage,

1871
01:43:54,320 --> 01:43:57,280
Speaker 1: and then you have guys like Micah Hyde and Jordan Employer.

1872
01:43:57,400 --> 01:44:00,559
Speaker 1: I think all three of those when talking about out Norman,

1873
01:44:00,640 --> 01:44:04,799
Speaker 1: White and Hyde had at least one pass breakup against

1874
01:44:04,840 --> 01:44:09,799
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs or another wide receiver. Yesterday in practice, Micah

1875
01:44:09,920 --> 01:44:15,880
Speaker 1: Hyde intercepted a pass from Stefan Diggs and took it

1876
01:44:15,920 --> 01:44:19,040
Speaker 1: to the house in seven on seven drills. So a

1877
01:44:19,120 --> 01:44:22,400
Speaker 1: pretty exciting way to get practice started. And you could

1878
01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:25,120
Speaker 1: just tell the talent of both of these sides of

1879
01:44:25,200 --> 01:44:28,320
Speaker 1: the ball. It's pretty exciting to watch. I mean, obviously

1880
01:44:28,479 --> 01:44:32,120
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs is the real deal. I mean, he's six

1881
01:44:32,200 --> 01:44:35,759
Speaker 1: feet and he plays like he's six three. He catches

1882
01:44:36,080 --> 01:44:40,320
Speaker 1: almost every ball. But you have the corners and you

1883
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:42,800
Speaker 1: have the state safeties who are there who are making

1884
01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:46,479
Speaker 1: his job hard. And I think it just plays into

1885
01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: how talented this defense is is that at times they're

1886
01:44:50,880 --> 01:44:54,200
Speaker 1: giving Steph Diggs a hard time, which is great to

1887
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:57,160
Speaker 1: see the competition on both sides. And then of course

1888
01:44:57,240 --> 01:45:00,640
Speaker 1: you have the competition between wide receivers who Mooley is

1889
01:45:00,680 --> 01:45:04,240
Speaker 1: that heating up, especially with some of these guys fighting

1890
01:45:04,360 --> 01:45:07,840
Speaker 1: for roster spots. It just makes me think of how

1891
01:45:07,920 --> 01:45:10,560
Speaker 1: many things this offense is going to be capable of

1892
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:14,160
Speaker 1: doing with all of these different weapons, from the wide

1893
01:45:14,160 --> 01:45:16,519
Speaker 1: receiver group, the running backs to tight ends. I mean,

1894
01:45:16,640 --> 01:45:19,719
Speaker 1: it's an endless amount. It seems like we've spoken about

1895
01:45:19,720 --> 01:45:22,200
Speaker 1: a japan and their plans for him and all the

1896
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 1: load that they're giving him up front. What are the

1897
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:29,320
Speaker 1: rookies have you seen observed that have jumped out at you? Well,

1898
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:34,040
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis was out of practice yesterday and yesterday was

1899
01:45:34,080 --> 01:45:37,160
Speaker 1: another padded practice. He was back in practice today, so

1900
01:45:37,240 --> 01:45:39,719
Speaker 1: it didn't really get to see too much of him yesterday,

1901
01:45:39,760 --> 01:45:41,679
Speaker 1: although in the first day he did have some nice

1902
01:45:42,200 --> 01:45:46,400
Speaker 1: nice catches as well as Isaiah Hodgens. These are two

1903
01:45:46,560 --> 01:45:51,040
Speaker 1: rookies who are getting their fair share of practice, and

1904
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:55,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgens and Gabe Davis have made some nice catches yesterday.

1905
01:45:55,880 --> 01:45:59,680
Speaker 1: Since Gabe Davis wasn't playing, Isaiah Hodgens made a few

1906
01:45:59,720 --> 01:46:05,240
Speaker 1: more catches. And this guy is tall as advertised. He

1907
01:46:05,439 --> 01:46:09,040
Speaker 1: looks like a tight end, but he runs like a

1908
01:46:09,160 --> 01:46:14,160
Speaker 1: wide receiver. Some pretty nice catches he had yesterday. I

1909
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: mean you could run through every single player in that group.

1910
01:46:19,160 --> 01:46:22,639
Speaker 1: I'm excited about what those two rookies, Hodgens and Davis

1911
01:46:22,760 --> 01:46:26,960
Speaker 1: can offer, just with what we've been watching the last

1912
01:46:27,160 --> 01:46:29,080
Speaker 1: two days out of both of them. And I know

1913
01:46:29,160 --> 01:46:33,160
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of positive reviews of Zach Moss's

1914
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,680
Speaker 1: game through the first couple of days as well, not

1915
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:38,280
Speaker 1: only in terms of what he offers from a size

1916
01:46:38,280 --> 01:46:41,960
Speaker 1: and stature standpoint, but I think he's kind of opened

1917
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:45,080
Speaker 1: some eyes as a receiver out of the backfield. He

1918
01:46:45,160 --> 01:46:46,719
Speaker 1: wasn't asked to do a ton of that at Utah,

1919
01:46:46,800 --> 01:46:48,760
Speaker 1: but he's been a very smooth receiver out of the

1920
01:46:48,840 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: backfield for the Bills in the early going here, right, Yeah,

1921
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:55,639
Speaker 1: they get into team drills and before we see Zack

1922
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 1: Moss run the ball, we see him catch a ball

1923
01:46:58,720 --> 01:47:01,800
Speaker 1: and it was a dime from Josh Allen, And I

1924
01:47:01,960 --> 01:47:06,240
Speaker 1: think that just shows fans, shows us that hey, this

1925
01:47:06,439 --> 01:47:08,680
Speaker 1: is this is a versatile running back. He's not going

1926
01:47:08,720 --> 01:47:11,800
Speaker 1: to be somebody who's just going to run the rock

1927
01:47:11,920 --> 01:47:15,640
Speaker 1: from a few yards out, somebody who's going to be

1928
01:47:15,840 --> 01:47:18,280
Speaker 1: there on the line for you know, the third and three,

1929
01:47:18,400 --> 01:47:21,120
Speaker 1: the third and two, the fourth and one. He's going

1930
01:47:21,160 --> 01:47:23,280
Speaker 1: to do more than that. They're going to be able

1931
01:47:23,360 --> 01:47:27,439
Speaker 1: to use him as a pass catching running back, just

1932
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,679
Speaker 1: like Devin Singletary has been used. You could also see

1933
01:47:30,960 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: and watch him break a few tackles in yesterday's practice.

1934
01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:38,479
Speaker 1: He scored a touchdown as well. So even though Devin

1935
01:47:38,560 --> 01:47:42,240
Speaker 1: Singletary and Zack Moss are different, I feel like they're

1936
01:47:42,280 --> 01:47:45,000
Speaker 1: also the same in a lot of different ways, just

1937
01:47:45,200 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 1: in their ability with what they can do catching the ball,

1938
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:53,320
Speaker 1: running the ball, breaking tackles, their field vision. Christian Wade,

1939
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:56,479
Speaker 1: the running back, talked about how much he's already learned

1940
01:47:56,520 --> 01:47:58,439
Speaker 1: from Zack Moss. So that's good to hear when I

1941
01:47:58,560 --> 01:48:02,080
Speaker 1: know Christian Wade is still consider a rookie coming from rugby,

1942
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:04,800
Speaker 1: but he is entering his second year on this team,

1943
01:48:04,840 --> 01:48:07,080
Speaker 1: and it's good to hear somebody like him say, Hey,

1944
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:10,400
Speaker 1: I'm already learning from someone that's a rookie who has

1945
01:48:10,640 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 1: has been here for just a few months. We've talked

1946
01:48:14,240 --> 01:48:17,160
Speaker 1: about how many guys are, you know, making impressions. There's

1947
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: also some guys on the injury list. Any cause for

1948
01:48:19,560 --> 01:48:21,840
Speaker 1: concern for any of the guys? Ed Oliver was out

1949
01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:25,000
Speaker 1: with hip sore, Nois Bob Foster's out. Quintin Jefferson just

1950
01:48:25,080 --> 01:48:28,639
Speaker 1: went out today with a foot soreness, Pat DeMarco, any

1951
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:32,519
Speaker 1: reason for concern over a handful of guys on the

1952
01:48:32,600 --> 01:48:35,040
Speaker 1: second day of camp or third day of training camp

1953
01:48:35,200 --> 01:48:38,799
Speaker 1: going down with injuries. I mean, I think the coaching

1954
01:48:38,840 --> 01:48:41,760
Speaker 1: staff is trying to be extra careful right now with

1955
01:48:42,880 --> 01:48:47,080
Speaker 1: how these practices are are going padded or not padded

1956
01:48:47,479 --> 01:48:50,760
Speaker 1: the RAMBA period. Just trying to make sure that these

1957
01:48:50,880 --> 01:48:53,720
Speaker 1: guys can be healthy by week one and that their

1958
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,840
Speaker 1: bodies are getting acclimated at the period that they need

1959
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 1: to get acclimated at. I mean, every player is not

1960
01:48:59,439 --> 01:49:01,880
Speaker 1: going to be the same in this category. So if

1961
01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 1: a veteran has to have a rest day, or if

1962
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,479
Speaker 1: a player has some type of soreness, they may feel

1963
01:49:08,080 --> 01:49:10,960
Speaker 1: totally fine sitting him for a day because they know

1964
01:49:11,400 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: he needs to get to week one feeling like a

1965
01:49:14,240 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: million bucks. So I don't think there's anything to be concerned.

1966
01:49:18,800 --> 01:49:22,040
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott talked about at Oliver today and said that

1967
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:24,439
Speaker 1: he should be back in a couple of days, So,

1968
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:27,240
Speaker 1: I mean, we all know John Feliciano will be out

1969
01:49:27,280 --> 01:49:30,400
Speaker 1: and definitely with that peck injury. But other than that,

1970
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:34,200
Speaker 1: I mean, I think they're just trying to manage certain

1971
01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:37,479
Speaker 1: players and hope that they can be healthy for the

1972
01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:40,280
Speaker 1: majority of camps so that once week one comes around,

1973
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:44,280
Speaker 1: you have everyone on this roster pretty much ready to go.

1974
01:49:44,680 --> 01:49:47,800
Speaker 1: Talking with our own multimedia journalist Mattie lab here on

1975
01:49:48,120 --> 01:49:50,760
Speaker 1: Skype as she's on the other side of campus here

1976
01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:54,040
Speaker 1: since we can't social distance in studio, and the last

1977
01:49:54,080 --> 01:49:56,000
Speaker 1: one I had for you, Maddie was we wanted to

1978
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,360
Speaker 1: get you to participate in our Twitter poll today and

1979
01:49:58,439 --> 01:50:01,839
Speaker 1: so we've been asking fans what's the most interesting quarterback

1980
01:50:01,920 --> 01:50:05,479
Speaker 1: situation when it comes to the Bills acast opponents. Is

1981
01:50:05,520 --> 01:50:08,080
Speaker 1: it the fits are to a debate in Miami, Cam

1982
01:50:08,160 --> 01:50:11,800
Speaker 1: Newton's transition with the Pat's offense or Sam Darnold, and

1983
01:50:11,880 --> 01:50:13,920
Speaker 1: whether or not he can raise his game in year three.

1984
01:50:13,960 --> 01:50:19,960
Speaker 1: Which one grabs you the most. They're all interesting. I

1985
01:50:20,040 --> 01:50:22,439
Speaker 1: think the afcast is full of a lot of interesting

1986
01:50:22,600 --> 01:50:25,840
Speaker 1: storylines for quarterbacks, including Josh Allen and how he's going

1987
01:50:25,920 --> 01:50:29,360
Speaker 1: to approach his third year. But I'm kind of all

1988
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:32,639
Speaker 1: about new storylines, and so I'll have to say Cam

1989
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,720
Speaker 1: Newton and the Patriots is something that's pretty interesting to me,

1990
01:50:37,400 --> 01:50:43,000
Speaker 1: especially because so many national media members have tabbed the

1991
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:47,320
Speaker 1: Bills to be the apparent favorites to win the AFC East.

1992
01:50:47,479 --> 01:50:50,800
Speaker 1: But Cam Newton gets brought into this conversation and maybe

1993
01:50:50,880 --> 01:50:53,679
Speaker 1: that changes a little bit for some national media members.

1994
01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:56,160
Speaker 1: A lot of them have said, you know, even though

1995
01:50:56,240 --> 01:50:59,680
Speaker 1: Cam Newton's on the Patriots, that really hasn't changed for me.

1996
01:51:00,040 --> 01:51:02,879
Speaker 1: Still think the Bills are the favorites to win the division.

1997
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:06,040
Speaker 1: But I think the most interesting part of the conversation

1998
01:51:06,360 --> 01:51:10,560
Speaker 1: is his health and if he's healthy, how much he

1999
01:51:10,720 --> 01:51:15,400
Speaker 1: can change that offense or add something to that offense.

2000
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:18,519
Speaker 1: I saw a video of him out at practice the

2001
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:20,600
Speaker 1: other day. I believe it was from NFL Network and

2002
01:51:20,760 --> 01:51:24,920
Speaker 1: Trey white Quote retweeted it and Cam Newton was dancing

2003
01:51:24,960 --> 01:51:27,360
Speaker 1: at practice and was pretty swagged up with what he

2004
01:51:27,479 --> 01:51:30,880
Speaker 1: had just on his arms, his legs. You know, usually

2005
01:51:30,920 --> 01:51:35,080
Speaker 1: Patriots players, your uniform, you dress like this, you look

2006
01:51:35,160 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 1: like this. But of course Cam Newton has some swag

2007
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: to him. So Trey white Quote we retweeted it and

2008
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:43,160
Speaker 1: was like, oh, no, Bill belichicks letting Cam Newton be

2009
01:51:43,320 --> 01:51:47,680
Speaker 1: swaggy out there, and so I thought that was hilarious.

2010
01:51:48,240 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 1: Definitely something to watch for. As Cam Newton, I would

2011
01:51:51,360 --> 01:51:55,800
Speaker 1: say it does not really fit the stereotype of your

2012
01:51:56,400 --> 01:52:00,400
Speaker 1: normal Patriots player. I mean, Cam is his the own

2013
01:52:00,520 --> 01:52:03,320
Speaker 1: person and brings a different type of swag to the

2014
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:06,639
Speaker 1: game of football. So I'll be interested to see how

2015
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:09,560
Speaker 1: he can shake up the offense and maybe Bill Belichick

2016
01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:12,920
Speaker 1: a little bit too. I not the model of conformity,

2017
01:52:13,000 --> 01:52:15,439
Speaker 1: but I know he's turning Bill. Yeah, I don't know. Yeah,

2018
01:52:15,640 --> 01:52:17,280
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what though. I think they're gonna handle

2019
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,599
Speaker 1: it as well as they can, and I think He's

2020
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:21,920
Speaker 1: gonna help him. He's on a one year deal. Steve

2021
01:52:22,040 --> 01:52:24,599
Speaker 1: is bullish on the page. I am. I'm kind of bullish. Well,

2022
01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:26,720
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna go too and when they're

2023
01:52:26,800 --> 01:52:29,160
Speaker 1: you know, seventh super Bowl, but they're gonna be a

2024
01:52:29,240 --> 01:52:31,439
Speaker 1: lot better than people are counting them out to be

2025
01:52:32,479 --> 01:52:37,040
Speaker 1: last one for me, So Robert Foster, I'm sorry, not

2026
01:52:37,200 --> 01:52:42,680
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. The Levi Wallace Josh Norman competition at cornerback.

2027
01:52:43,320 --> 01:52:47,400
Speaker 1: How is Josh Norman acclimating? I mean, we've seen some

2028
01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:50,599
Speaker 1: pictures of him breaking down passes and breaking up passes

2029
01:52:50,720 --> 01:52:53,120
Speaker 1: playing well, he's a guy who's got a big chip

2030
01:52:53,160 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 1: on his shoulder and has said, you know, he's got

2031
01:52:56,600 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 1: something to prove. How has he looked during practice? I know,

2032
01:52:59,560 --> 01:53:03,639
Speaker 1: and he's the ultimate trash talker. Give us one last

2033
01:53:03,680 --> 01:53:06,320
Speaker 1: impression about Josh Norman and what he looks like. How,

2034
01:53:07,160 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 1: you know, how does a thirty five thirty six year

2035
01:53:09,120 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 1: old guy look at I mean, he doesn't look thirty

2036
01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,720
Speaker 1: five or thirty six. The same could be said for

2037
01:53:16,840 --> 01:53:19,920
Speaker 1: a lot of these older veteran players right now. They

2038
01:53:20,000 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 1: look pretty young and they look like they have some

2039
01:53:22,320 --> 01:53:26,560
Speaker 1: fresh legs out there, including Josh Norman. This battle, this

2040
01:53:26,720 --> 01:53:30,000
Speaker 1: competition between Josh Norman and Levi Wallace for that right

2041
01:53:30,080 --> 01:53:33,240
Speaker 1: corner spot will certainly be interesting. I mean, you have

2042
01:53:34,040 --> 01:53:38,400
Speaker 1: Norman who comes in understanding and knowing this Sean McDermott defense,

2043
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:42,600
Speaker 1: played in it before, and this dude has an unlimited

2044
01:53:43,280 --> 01:53:47,040
Speaker 1: amount of confidence. I want some of that because when

2045
01:53:47,080 --> 01:53:50,560
Speaker 1: he spoke to the media, he had so much to

2046
01:53:50,600 --> 01:53:53,599
Speaker 1: say about how confident he was in his team more

2047
01:53:53,640 --> 01:53:56,000
Speaker 1: than anything, and how he believes this team can win

2048
01:53:56,040 --> 01:53:58,599
Speaker 1: a championship, but also had some great things to say

2049
01:53:58,600 --> 01:54:00,920
Speaker 1: about the other corners in the room and said, hey, look,

2050
01:54:00,960 --> 01:54:05,160
Speaker 1: I think we're all stored starters, including Levi Wallace. So

2051
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:08,000
Speaker 1: it's nice to know that these two are learning from

2052
01:54:08,040 --> 01:54:10,320
Speaker 1: each other as they're battling it out. I mean, we

2053
01:54:10,400 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 1: all know Levi Wallace has had to earn that spot

2054
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:17,600
Speaker 1: a couple of times and loves competition, and in the

2055
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:20,679
Speaker 1: past he's came out of it winning that job. Now

2056
01:54:20,880 --> 01:54:24,559
Speaker 1: if he's going to do that this year, we'll see

2057
01:54:24,600 --> 01:54:28,599
Speaker 1: how it turns out. But both of them are working hard.

2058
01:54:28,640 --> 01:54:31,400
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Norman seems like he has a good

2059
01:54:31,479 --> 01:54:34,000
Speaker 1: handle on this defense. And one thing that I love

2060
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:37,240
Speaker 1: that aj Klein said about a Sean mcderman defense and

2061
01:54:37,400 --> 01:54:40,480
Speaker 1: why so many of these veterans who have played in

2062
01:54:40,560 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: the defense have came back to the defense is because

2063
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:46,920
Speaker 1: they know how successful they can be in it, and

2064
01:54:47,040 --> 01:54:52,680
Speaker 1: they know that there's no limit for how players can

2065
01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:57,640
Speaker 1: grow and be born in it and be reborn too.

2066
01:54:57,840 --> 01:55:00,720
Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Norman is looking for rebirth in his

2067
01:55:00,880 --> 01:55:05,200
Speaker 1: career essentially here after coming from the Redskins, where he

2068
01:55:05,520 --> 01:55:09,440
Speaker 1: probably didn't have the time of his life. He had

2069
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:11,959
Speaker 1: he had a great couple of seasons with the Panthers,

2070
01:55:12,120 --> 01:55:15,640
Speaker 1: and with the Redskins wasn't the same story. So you

2071
01:55:15,720 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 1: have someone coming into this who's who's very determined to

2072
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 1: see a rebirth in the way that he knew and

2073
01:55:24,320 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 1: grew into playing football under Sean McDermott to begin with.

2074
01:55:27,840 --> 01:55:29,760
Speaker 1: And just to be fair, he's only thirty two. Yeah,

2075
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:32,240
Speaker 1: I was just gonna tell you thirty six, so Norman

2076
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:34,680
Speaker 1: doesn't blow up your phone, Steve, You've been right. Let's

2077
01:55:34,680 --> 01:55:36,800
Speaker 1: correct that he's only thirty two years it's been I

2078
01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:40,440
Speaker 1: was seriously, seriously, I knew he wasn't that old, but

2079
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:42,760
Speaker 1: I was exaggerating to make the point. The guys, that's

2080
01:55:42,840 --> 01:55:45,080
Speaker 1: his thing. He's long in the tooth, thirty two for

2081
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:50,080
Speaker 1: a corner years old, but uh yeah, so I'm glad

2082
01:55:50,080 --> 01:55:52,360
Speaker 1: to see here he's playing well. You knew he was

2083
01:55:52,400 --> 01:55:55,600
Speaker 1: gonna bounce back in the training camp. I don't want

2084
01:55:55,600 --> 01:55:57,400
Speaker 1: to take anything away from but everybody should be looking

2085
01:55:57,400 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 1: good for first couple of days of training camp. Yeah,

2086
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,080
Speaker 1: they should, particular and Levi, and Levi was off the field,

2087
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:06,000
Speaker 1: you know, earlier this week. So the competition I think

2088
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:10,560
Speaker 1: really hasn't truly materialized yet, and so Maddie I know

2089
01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:12,640
Speaker 1: she'll be keeping her eye on that in the in

2090
01:56:12,720 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: the days and the weeks to come. So something to

2091
01:56:15,200 --> 01:56:17,680
Speaker 1: look forward to. Maddie, thanks very much for the time

2092
01:56:17,760 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: and getting us up to speed on what's going on

Speaker 1: out there on the practice field. We'll look forward to

2094

2095
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:29,320
Speaker 1: All right, that's Maddie glab who's helping us out being

2096
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:32,760
Speaker 1: the eyeballs because sometimes practice does bleed over into our

2097
01:56:32,800 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 1: responsibilities here and you know, you nor I can get

2098
01:56:35,880 --> 01:56:38,760
Speaker 1: out there and see everything. So it's good to know

2099

01:58:15,200 --> 01:58:18,760
Speaker 1: final half hour of the program, and Steve, we've we

2130
01:58:18,840 --> 01:58:20,880
Speaker 1: haven't really gotten to this every day this week, so

2131
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:22,640
Speaker 1: I want to make sure we get to it this week,

2132
01:58:23,000 --> 01:58:28,400
Speaker 1: or at least today. NFL True false. It's that time

2133
01:58:28,480 --> 01:58:31,240
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancey's Fancy Yancy's Fancy New York's

2134
01:58:31,280 --> 01:58:35,280
Speaker 1: artists and Cheese. First up on the docket for you,

2135
01:58:35,480 --> 01:58:42,240
Speaker 1: Steve for NFL. True false. The Giants should embrace Joe

2136
01:58:42,440 --> 01:58:47,080
Speaker 1: Judge's hard nosed style of coaching. What say you now,

2137
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,560
Speaker 1: just to provide a little context, tell him what he's doing.

2138
01:58:51,320 --> 01:58:57,800
Speaker 1: He's got players running opportunity lapsum, which is basically, you

2139
01:58:57,960 --> 01:59:00,920
Speaker 1: make a mistake in practice, you have a busted assignment,

2140
01:59:01,000 --> 01:59:03,240
Speaker 1: you have a mental error, you jump off sides, you

2141
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:05,880
Speaker 1: have a false start, you gotta go run a lap

2142
01:59:05,920 --> 01:59:08,040
Speaker 1: and somebody else will rotate in for you. Now, this

2143
01:59:08,240 --> 01:59:11,880
Speaker 1: was done by Bill's head coach Greg Williams back in

2144
01:59:11,960 --> 01:59:14,320
Speaker 1: the early two thousands at his first training camp in

2145
01:59:14,400 --> 01:59:19,640
Speaker 1: two thousand and one, and I believe is it Rex Ryan.

2146
01:59:20,720 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 1: I think Rex Ryan had players doing pushups if they

2147
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:26,720
Speaker 1: committed a penalty in practice his second year on the job,

2148
01:59:26,840 --> 01:59:29,760
Speaker 1: because the first year was an abomination of penalties. So

2149
01:59:29,880 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: he had him doing pushups. So Joe Judge has them

2150
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:40,480
Speaker 1: running laps, opportunity laps. Did they embrace the hard nosed

2151
01:59:40,720 --> 01:59:46,800
Speaker 1: style of coaching? Well quite answer, Yeah, they got to.

2152
01:59:47,040 --> 01:59:48,520
Speaker 1: They got no choice if they want to have a

2153
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:50,880
Speaker 1: shot at this season. They if they're gonna they're gonna

2154
01:59:50,920 --> 01:59:54,240
Speaker 1: oust this guy four days into training camp because he's

2155
01:59:54,280 --> 01:59:58,560
Speaker 1: making them do that. Here's the thing, he's a smart guy.

2156
01:59:58,680 --> 02:00:03,240
Speaker 1: He'll learn. He's certainly can't get more strict on the

2157
02:00:03,640 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 1: year two than you were year one. You've got to

2158
02:00:05,600 --> 02:00:07,600
Speaker 1: get you know what I mean. You can always back off,

2159
02:00:07,920 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 1: you can. Uh, So I would say, yeah, get on

2160
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:12,320
Speaker 1: board with it. It's not gonna be forever. Is not

2161
02:00:12,400 --> 02:00:15,160
Speaker 1: gonna have you doing that week fifteen of the regular season,

2162
02:00:15,520 --> 02:00:19,600
Speaker 1: and uh, there's no air horns at six am. So well, yeah,

2163
02:00:19,680 --> 02:00:23,600
Speaker 1: so yeah, jump on board with it. Try and get

2164
02:00:23,640 --> 02:00:26,960
Speaker 1: into his try and get into his uh, into his mindset,

2165
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 1: and roll with it for a while, give it a chance,

2166
02:00:29,800 --> 02:00:33,440
Speaker 1: and because if you don't, you may as well retire

2167
02:00:33,560 --> 02:00:36,040
Speaker 1: now because this season is going to be an absolute atrocity.

2168
02:00:37,000 --> 02:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Get along, So jump on board. It's a weekend of

2169
02:00:39,800 --> 02:00:42,000
Speaker 1: train again. Get on board with it. Take it for

2170
02:00:42,200 --> 02:00:45,840
Speaker 1: until you can, uh, you know, roll with him in

2171
02:00:46,040 --> 02:00:48,840
Speaker 1: it as long as you can. If it If it

2172
02:00:48,880 --> 02:00:50,480
Speaker 1: doesn't work, if you don't start playing better, if you

2173
02:00:50,520 --> 02:00:52,800
Speaker 1: don't become a better football player, if your team flounders,

2174
02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:54,720
Speaker 1: then you can make a decision. But you gotta give

2175
02:00:54,760 --> 02:00:56,400
Speaker 1: the guy every chance, and to do it on his

2176
02:00:56,480 --> 02:00:59,720
Speaker 1: own terms. I will say true too, you gotta if

2177
02:00:59,720 --> 02:01:01,640
Speaker 1: you can beat him, join them. And Joe Judge is

2178
02:01:01,680 --> 02:01:03,720
Speaker 1: going nowhere right now, so you may as well join them.

2179
02:01:03,760 --> 02:01:06,720
Speaker 1: So I will say true as well, um, even though

2180
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,200
Speaker 1: I don't know if I wholeheartedly agree with it. Uh

2181
02:01:09,480 --> 02:01:16,080
Speaker 1: true false number two numero. Dear Matt Ryan, we'll have

2182
02:01:16,200 --> 02:01:21,080
Speaker 1: a better year passing then, Tom Brady, we're talking let's

2183
02:01:21,120 --> 02:01:25,920
Speaker 1: just say passing yards and touchdown interception ratio. Matt Ryan

2184
02:01:26,000 --> 02:01:29,800
Speaker 1: will have a better year passing than Tom Brady. No, No,

2185
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:33,000
Speaker 1: that's false. Yeah, I think that's false too. And the

2186
02:01:33,120 --> 02:01:36,240
Speaker 1: reason why is you need look no further than the

2187
02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:39,680
Speaker 1: weapons that I know. Julio Joe's gonna good, no good

2188
02:01:39,800 --> 02:01:42,840
Speaker 1: question about it. But Matt Ryan and Julio Jones are

2189
02:01:42,880 --> 02:01:46,720
Speaker 1: not going to get it done by themselves. Tom Brady

2190
02:01:46,880 --> 02:01:51,280
Speaker 1: have Calvin Ridley down there. Tom Brady's gonna with Bruce Arians,

2191
02:01:51,680 --> 02:01:53,760
Speaker 1: They're gonna light it up. I think they're gonna be

2192
02:01:53,880 --> 02:01:57,200
Speaker 1: really good team. And tom Brady's gonna you know, those

2193
02:01:57,240 --> 02:01:59,200
Speaker 1: guys are gonna be all in with their quarterback, no

2194
02:01:59,360 --> 02:02:01,640
Speaker 1: question about it. There's a guy, imagine another guy coming

2195
02:02:01,640 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 1: in with more credibility than him. For guys to get

2196
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:06,880
Speaker 1: coached up by him, do what he says, try and jump,

2197
02:02:07,000 --> 02:02:09,800
Speaker 1: you know, let him lead. So I'm gonna say falls.

2198
02:02:09,960 --> 02:02:13,440
Speaker 1: I think Tom Brady is gonna he's got a chance.

2199
02:02:13,520 --> 02:02:17,320
Speaker 1: They've got a chance to rival the Saints in that

2200
02:02:17,480 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 1: division this year. It's gonna be hard because they got

2201
02:02:20,600 --> 02:02:22,280
Speaker 1: a lot of new pieces and you know, a lot

2202
02:02:22,320 --> 02:02:26,040
Speaker 1: of moving parts down there right now. But Bruce Arians,

2203
02:02:26,080 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 1: I think, is the guy that can is just hands

2204
02:02:28,800 --> 02:02:33,120
Speaker 1: off enough to let them be themselves while still giving

2205
02:02:33,160 --> 02:02:35,000
Speaker 1: them some directions. So I'm gonna say, yeah, Bucks are

2206
02:02:35,000 --> 02:02:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna be good, and I think Tom Brady will be

2207
02:02:36,480 --> 02:02:39,040
Speaker 1: better than mad Ran. And let's remember this, the mantra

2208
02:02:39,320 --> 02:02:42,400
Speaker 1: of the bruce Arians offense is no risk, it, no biscuit.

2209
02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:46,080
Speaker 1: So they're gonna be throwing the ball all over the

2210
02:02:46,200 --> 02:02:49,240
Speaker 1: place and I'm just gonna paint this picture for you. Okay,

2211
02:02:50,200 --> 02:02:55,240
Speaker 1: Tom Brady never had the depth of weapons in New

2212
02:02:55,320 --> 02:02:58,200
Speaker 1: England that he's gonna have this year in Tampa Bay. Okay,

2213
02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:00,520
Speaker 1: maybe a No. Seven. He did when they were nineteen

2214
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 1: and one. He didn't have three tight ends like this. Well.

2215
02:03:04,200 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 1: I mean he's got Cameron Braid, Rob Gronkowski and O. J. Howard.

2216
02:03:09,840 --> 02:03:12,000
Speaker 1: I mean that's just a tight end. We haven't even

2217
02:03:12,000 --> 02:03:14,080
Speaker 1: gotten to Mike Evans, who could be a tight end.

2218
02:03:14,160 --> 02:03:17,880
Speaker 1: He's so dang big. And Chris Godwin. Oh, they got

2219
02:03:17,960 --> 02:03:22,640
Speaker 1: some guys, I mean seriously, And he could even throw

2220
02:03:22,720 --> 02:03:25,720
Speaker 1: to Lashawn McCoy out of the backfield, who's there now

2221
02:03:26,440 --> 02:03:29,800
Speaker 1: as a third down back. And here's another thing. I'll

2222
02:03:29,840 --> 02:03:34,160
Speaker 1: take it a step further. Jamis Winston, who couldn't get

2223
02:03:34,200 --> 02:03:36,400
Speaker 1: a job in the NFL and had to sign a

2224
02:03:36,520 --> 02:03:39,560
Speaker 1: one year deal in New Orleans as a backup. As

2225
02:03:39,600 --> 02:03:44,320
Speaker 1: a backup in the Arian's offense last year through for

2226
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:52,320
Speaker 1: fifty one hundred yards, fifty one hundred Steve thirty three touchdowns,

2227
02:03:52,480 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 1: thirty picks, thirty pick but thirty three touchdowns and fifty

2228
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:58,720
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. There's no way Matt Ryan is gonna

2229
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:02,240
Speaker 1: beat Tom Brady. Now, let's Brady's arm completely goes south

2230
02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:05,360
Speaker 1: and falls off. Yeah, if he's injured or whatever. Yeah, sure,

2231
02:04:05,880 --> 02:04:09,240
Speaker 1: but he's not. Now. I mean Winston through for almost

2232
02:04:09,280 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 1: three thousand yards in nine games in twenty eighteen, then

2233
02:04:12,480 --> 02:04:14,760
Speaker 1: through for fifty one hundred last year. Holy Kim, I

2234
02:04:14,800 --> 02:04:19,120
Speaker 1: think Tom Brady's gonna fill it up. I think yeah,

2235
02:04:19,200 --> 02:04:21,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna do so. False on Matt Roight. Sorry,

2236
02:04:21,720 --> 02:04:25,839
Speaker 1: Mattie Ice. It's just it's not happening, Uh, final NFL

2237
02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:32,400
Speaker 1: true false for you, Steve. The Jets weakest link in

2238
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:37,000
Speaker 1: twenty twenty is head coach Adam Gae. True or false?

2239
02:04:37,080 --> 02:04:39,960
Speaker 1: I'll say false. Their roster is not good enough to

2240
02:04:40,000 --> 02:04:45,520
Speaker 1: make that statement, okay. I Their wide receivers are decimated. Uh,

2241
02:04:45,640 --> 02:04:47,880
Speaker 1: certainly they made an upgrade in the offensive line. They

2242
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:51,400
Speaker 1: put some effort into that. Uh. C J. Mosley getting

2243
02:04:51,400 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: back on the field is going to help them a

2244
02:04:53,040 --> 02:04:55,960
Speaker 1: lot for Wait a second, they dropped it out, didn't

2245
02:04:55,960 --> 02:04:59,240
Speaker 1: Well that's right. Oh that's right. Yeah, so oh that's right.

2246
02:04:59,360 --> 02:05:02,840
Speaker 1: That's right. So are is that changing your answer? No? C. J. Mosley, No,

2247
02:05:03,000 --> 02:05:05,680
Speaker 1: Jamal Adams, Right, Jamal Adams has gone. So all those

2248
02:05:05,920 --> 02:05:08,520
Speaker 1: your two best defensive players just walked out the door

2249
02:05:08,760 --> 02:05:10,800
Speaker 1: thinking they got enough weak links to go around without

2250
02:05:10,800 --> 02:05:14,080
Speaker 1: putting it on Adam Gase. Yeah, as you know, I

2251
02:05:14,160 --> 02:05:17,840
Speaker 1: am not a huge fan of Adam Gaze. Um. I

2252
02:05:17,960 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: like the guy. I've met him, talked to him. He's

2253
02:05:19,680 --> 02:05:22,040
Speaker 1: got a nice energy about him. The player's rally for him.

2254
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:24,360
Speaker 1: But you're right, I mean the stuff that Jamal Adams

2255
02:05:24,360 --> 02:05:27,200
Speaker 1: said does put him in a bad light, and he

2256
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:30,200
Speaker 1: hasn't been successful as a head coach as of yet. Yeah. Well,

2257
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,960
Speaker 1: I mean he got Miami to the playoffs that first year,

2258
02:05:33,640 --> 02:05:39,760
Speaker 1: but after that it's been horribly downhill. Yeah. I don't

2259
02:05:39,840 --> 02:05:43,440
Speaker 1: know how tired Joe Douglass is to him. He did

2260
02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:49,520
Speaker 1: not hire him, so he's not beholden to him. If

2261
02:05:49,840 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: if this thing goes sideways, Adam Gase could be gone

2262
02:05:54,000 --> 02:05:55,960
Speaker 1: by the middle of the season. I mean he could

2263
02:05:55,960 --> 02:06:00,320
Speaker 1: be gone by Halloween if it doesn't go right. Uh yeah,

2264
02:06:00,800 --> 02:06:03,560
Speaker 1: I mean he could be trick or treating on Halloween

2265
02:06:03,560 --> 02:06:07,160
Speaker 1: because he won't have a job. Yeah. So I think

2266
02:06:07,240 --> 02:06:09,240
Speaker 1: he is the weakest link. So I'm going to say true.

2267
02:06:09,280 --> 02:06:11,680
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is I don't think

2268
02:06:11,760 --> 02:06:14,560
Speaker 1: he's a leader of men. I think he's a good

2269
02:06:14,600 --> 02:06:18,320
Speaker 1: play caller, a good coordinator. To me, he is not

2270
02:06:18,640 --> 02:06:23,320
Speaker 1: head coaching material, and so I don't think he can

2271
02:06:23,440 --> 02:06:27,000
Speaker 1: mobilize that team and maximize what they have on the roster.

2272
02:06:28,200 --> 02:06:31,640
Speaker 1: I think even with a cornucopia of Pro Bowl talent

2273
02:06:31,720 --> 02:06:34,600
Speaker 1: on this roster, they would still be a team hovering

2274
02:06:34,640 --> 02:06:37,960
Speaker 1: around five hundred because I don't think he is the

2275
02:06:38,160 --> 02:06:41,320
Speaker 1: kind of leader that can get the most out of players.

2276
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:45,360
Speaker 1: And the biggest problem of the Jets organization for the

2277
02:06:45,400 --> 02:06:49,760
Speaker 1: better part of the last forty five years is player development.

2278
02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:53,760
Speaker 1: It is nonexistent there as long as I've been alive

2279
02:06:53,840 --> 02:06:56,240
Speaker 1: and on this planet, they have not been able to

2280
02:06:56,360 --> 02:06:59,360
Speaker 1: fix that problem. Does it change under Joe Douglas, I

2281
02:06:59,360 --> 02:07:01,920
Speaker 1: don't know. Maybe it does, but it ain't changing with

2282
02:07:02,000 --> 02:07:04,520
Speaker 1: Adam Gase as your head coach. So I am saying true,

2283
02:07:04,960 --> 02:07:08,160
Speaker 1: you are the weakest link. Remember that show, you are

2284
02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:10,840
Speaker 1: the weakest link? Goodbye. It was a very short lived show.

2285
02:07:10,840 --> 02:07:12,920
Speaker 1: They had some englishwoman who was the host of the thing.

2286
02:07:12,960 --> 02:07:16,280
Speaker 1: It was a game show. He got me. It was interesting. Yeah,

2287
02:07:17,240 --> 02:07:20,560
Speaker 1: it's very dramatic point and everything you said maybe true.

2288
02:07:20,600 --> 02:07:24,360
Speaker 1: But I still think the rosters the weak link. And okay,

2289
02:07:24,800 --> 02:07:27,880
Speaker 1: and hey, we're here to disagree, Steve, that's it's okay,

2290
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:30,480
Speaker 1: but I'm saying true, he is the weakest link. Let's

2291
02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:32,440
Speaker 1: put that up. There's that in writing. Neither one of

2292
02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:35,520
Speaker 1: us losing sleep over the good fortunes of the Jets.

2293
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:39,520
Speaker 1: We're hoping they flounder again. They're a dumpster fire. So

2294
02:07:39,680 --> 02:07:42,280
Speaker 1: that is NFL True Falls once again brought to you

2295
02:07:42,360 --> 02:07:45,480
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists and cheese. We do

2296
02:07:45,640 --> 02:07:48,400
Speaker 1: want to get back to the tweet sheet as we

2297
02:07:48,480 --> 02:07:51,360
Speaker 1: are asking you what's the most interesting quarterback situation When

2298
02:07:51,360 --> 02:07:53,879
Speaker 1: it comes to the Bill's AFC East opponents, the runaway

2299
02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:57,720
Speaker 1: renner is the runaway winner. Let me say that again,

2300
02:07:58,320 --> 02:08:00,800
Speaker 1: is Cam Newton. He's got about seventy percent of the vote.

2301
02:08:01,200 --> 02:08:05,680
Speaker 1: And his transition into the Patriots offense. But we go

2302
02:08:05,800 --> 02:08:09,240
Speaker 1: to Josh on the tweet sheet and he says, Belichick

2303
02:08:09,360 --> 02:08:12,520
Speaker 1: made Randy Moss work, albeit only for a few years,

2304
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:14,400
Speaker 1: so I'll be interested to see if he can do

2305
02:08:14,520 --> 02:08:19,680
Speaker 1: it with the quarterback. So he's in the majority, Yeah,

2306
02:08:20,000 --> 02:08:23,080
Speaker 1: and we're not surprised. I think the reason why a

2307
02:08:23,160 --> 02:08:26,920
Speaker 1: lot of these viewers and listeners of hours are voting

2308
02:08:27,000 --> 02:08:29,080
Speaker 1: Cam Newton is because he's the biggest name in the

2309
02:08:29,120 --> 02:08:31,440
Speaker 1: whole bunch. I mean, you look at this whole bucket

2310
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:35,640
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks, Cam's the headliner. Yeah. I mean, he's a

2311
02:08:35,720 --> 02:08:40,600
Speaker 1: former NFL MVP. Nobody else in this group can say

2312
02:08:40,680 --> 02:08:44,760
Speaker 1: that he was the first pick in the draft. He's

2313
02:08:44,800 --> 02:08:47,440
Speaker 1: a larger than life personality, got a team to the

2314
02:08:47,480 --> 02:08:50,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl, and he's playing on a team that's been

2315
02:08:50,040 --> 02:08:52,760
Speaker 1: one of the highest profile teams of the last two decades,

2316
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,640
Speaker 1: with six Super Bowls to their credit. So I get

2317
02:08:55,720 --> 02:08:58,160
Speaker 1: why he's the most popular vote here. But I think

2318
02:08:58,200 --> 02:09:03,720
Speaker 1: there's some compelling stuff in Miami the Jets. You know,

2319
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:08,040
Speaker 1: I feel bad for Sam Darnold, I do. I mean,

2320
02:09:08,120 --> 02:09:11,080
Speaker 1: that guy's gonna need about seven lifelines this year with

2321
02:09:11,160 --> 02:09:13,640
Speaker 1: what he's gonna have to deal with again in New York.

2322
02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 1: It's just it's it's not gonna be good. I don't

2323
02:09:16,400 --> 02:09:19,360
Speaker 1: see it going well for him, even if his play improves.

2324
02:09:20,400 --> 02:09:22,560
Speaker 1: There's just not enough support there for him to make

2325
02:09:22,600 --> 02:09:25,640
Speaker 1: it work on a consistent basis, and so I just

2326
02:09:25,800 --> 02:09:29,800
Speaker 1: think it goes it folds like a house of cards

2327
02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:32,400
Speaker 1: again for the Jets this year. The Miami thing is

2328
02:09:32,480 --> 02:09:36,000
Speaker 1: interesting to me, and the reason why it takes on

2329
02:09:36,120 --> 02:09:38,840
Speaker 1: even more interest for me is because of this pandemic

2330
02:09:39,000 --> 02:09:42,600
Speaker 1: dynamic that has totally wiped out the preseason for two

2331
02:09:42,760 --> 02:09:46,200
Speaker 1: to get valuable reps. And while I don't think he's

2332
02:09:46,240 --> 02:09:48,040
Speaker 1: going to red shirt the year, I think by the

2333
02:09:48,160 --> 02:09:50,320
Speaker 1: time he gets on the field, we could be nearing

2334
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:53,880
Speaker 1: mid season. I think that's the earliest he gets on

2335
02:09:53,920 --> 02:09:57,480
Speaker 1: the field because he's getting he's missing out on valuable

2336
02:09:57,560 --> 02:10:00,680
Speaker 1: game reps in the preseason. The preseason is is beneficial.

2337
02:10:00,920 --> 02:10:03,160
Speaker 1: I think you'd agree for rookie and first year players

2338
02:10:03,520 --> 02:10:05,080
Speaker 1: to kind of get their feet wet. This is the

2339
02:10:05,240 --> 02:10:09,800
Speaker 1: NFL speed of the game. That kind of stuff that's

2340
02:10:09,920 --> 02:10:12,760
Speaker 1: that's out the door, that's not happening now, and I

2341
02:10:12,880 --> 02:10:15,800
Speaker 1: think that that sets to it and other rookie quarterbacks

2342
02:10:15,840 --> 02:10:17,760
Speaker 1: back a little bit now. Joe Burrow is gonna play

2343
02:10:17,760 --> 02:10:19,880
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati no matter what. Sure, I mean, they don't

2344
02:10:19,880 --> 02:10:23,160
Speaker 1: have any better answer than Joe Burrow. But but the Dolphins,

2345
02:10:24,440 --> 02:10:26,480
Speaker 1: they might play Fits a little bit longer than we think.

2346
02:10:26,520 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: As Armando Salgaro said in the one o'clock hour on

2347
02:10:28,960 --> 02:10:33,040
Speaker 1: this show, Steve chan Gailey and Fits it like this,

2348
02:10:33,640 --> 02:10:37,240
Speaker 1: I mean thick as thieves. And chan Gailey is a

2349
02:10:37,280 --> 02:10:40,280
Speaker 1: pretty loyal guy, right. We knew that as his head

2350
02:10:40,320 --> 02:10:42,720
Speaker 1: when he was head coach here. And Fits is a

2351
02:10:42,840 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: guy that's easy to love. The players like him. He

2352
02:10:45,000 --> 02:10:48,400
Speaker 1: got he's fun to play with, and he's a leader

2353
02:10:48,440 --> 02:10:51,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room. The guy's rally around him. It's

2354
02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:55,480
Speaker 1: gonna be hard for And plus he's got a year

2355
02:10:55,560 --> 02:10:57,480
Speaker 1: under his belt in this system. Yeah, you know, so

2356
02:10:57,640 --> 02:10:59,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna be pretty much here. He's got more than

2357
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 1: a year, right he did he played in this system

2358
02:11:01,880 --> 02:11:06,400
Speaker 1: with the Jets. I'm oh, you're yeah. Within that locker room, certainly,

2359
02:11:06,440 --> 02:11:08,720
Speaker 1: chan Gailey's gonna bring a new offense to a different

2360
02:11:08,720 --> 02:11:13,480
Speaker 1: offense than there was there last year. But Fitz is entrenched.

2361
02:11:14,040 --> 02:11:17,560
Speaker 1: He's got so much experience and he's got leadership cache

2362
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:19,960
Speaker 1: in that locker room. They love this guy and there's

2363
02:11:19,960 --> 02:11:21,760
Speaker 1: no hurry to put him in there. But I think

2364
02:11:22,240 --> 02:11:24,200
Speaker 1: the players will know if they want fitz to stay

2365
02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:26,880
Speaker 1: at quarterback, they better win some games, yeah, or they

2366
02:11:26,920 --> 02:11:30,360
Speaker 1: better win some games early, because there's no reason to

2367
02:11:30,560 --> 02:11:33,760
Speaker 1: suffer through a one and sixth start and leave Ryan

2368
02:11:33,840 --> 02:11:37,960
Speaker 1: Fitzpatrick in there after the third week of that. Yeah, Okay,

2369
02:11:38,040 --> 02:11:39,880
Speaker 1: we have to take a break, but one more segment

2370
02:11:39,960 --> 02:11:42,080
Speaker 1: coming your way, where we find out on the program

2371
02:11:42,520 --> 02:11:46,000
Speaker 1: what we have learned from today's show, So we will

2372
02:11:46,040 --> 02:11:49,360
Speaker 1: cover that when we return. One final segment. Stay tuned.

2373
02:11:49,400 --> 02:11:51,720
Speaker 1: It's one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health. This is

2374
02:11:51,800 --> 02:12:09,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio time for what have we learned from

2375
02:12:09,960 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 1: today's show? Brought to you by Skyworks, the official construction

2376
02:12:13,360 --> 02:12:18,800
Speaker 1: equipment rental company of the Buffalo Bills. And we had

2377
02:12:18,840 --> 02:12:22,840
Speaker 1: one Armando Salgero Radio dot Com sports insider on with

2378
02:12:23,000 --> 02:12:27,800
Speaker 1: us covers the Dolphins, and he had a surprise development

2379
02:12:27,960 --> 02:12:31,600
Speaker 1: that he shared with us regarding the Dolphins quarterback competition.

2380
02:12:33,680 --> 02:12:36,880
Speaker 1: The whole two thing you're not gonna see two or

2381
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:41,040
Speaker 1: early on in the twenty twenty season. He's not gonna

2382
02:12:41,120 --> 02:12:46,640
Speaker 1: win the quarterback battle in the quarterback competition in really

2383
02:12:46,880 --> 02:12:52,040
Speaker 1: in words only Bryan Fitzpatrick is gonna be the starter

2384
02:12:52,280 --> 02:12:57,200
Speaker 1: early in the season, certainly for the regular season opener

2385
02:12:57,320 --> 02:13:01,320
Speaker 1: at New England and as far as the Patriots, for concerned,

2386
02:13:01,400 --> 02:13:04,560
Speaker 1: yesterday the best quarterbacking cap was Brian Hoyer. It's like,

2387
02:13:04,760 --> 02:13:10,720
Speaker 1: what what's that about? Right, I mean, nobody's expecting that, so,

2388
02:13:11,880 --> 02:13:16,120
Speaker 1: um yeah, I think it's a big nothing burger down

2389
02:13:16,240 --> 02:13:23,120
Speaker 1: here for now. With a nothing burger on Tua, don't

2390
02:13:23,160 --> 02:13:27,000
Speaker 1: start lathering on the mayo, the lads tomato and cheese. Right,

2391
02:13:27,320 --> 02:13:29,400
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot of nothing that's got with a

2392
02:13:29,440 --> 02:13:31,960
Speaker 1: big helping of said Josh Rosen was the best. It

2393
02:13:32,080 --> 02:13:34,800
Speaker 1: was ahead of Tuah in terms of performance so far,

2394
02:13:35,240 --> 02:13:37,520
Speaker 1: so pretty amazing. I mean, I don't think anybody would

2395
02:13:37,520 --> 02:13:41,280
Speaker 1: have expected that. That is our show for today for

2396
02:13:41,400 --> 02:13:44,440
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. I am Chris Brown. Tomorrow we will have

2397

2398
02:13:48,960 --> 02:13:52,240
Speaker 1: So turning back tomorrow for that for Steve Tasker Crown. Now,

2399
02:13:52,320 --> 02:13:54,800
Speaker 1: this has been one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health.

2400
02:13:54,880 --> 02:14:02,920
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's radio in concer
