35
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,960

41
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:08,760

47
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,640

54
00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 1: atmosphere that they're built. They've built here and this inside

55
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,360

Speaker 1: a little hoops from two successful college basketball coaches. Native

00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:48,520
Speaker 1: how it gets about an hour and a half into practice,

81
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: and you're like, all right, come on, what else can

82
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: exacting him here? Everybody wants to see practice, but they

83
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: don't want to stand out there and watch practice. Believe

84
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: you want to see it. You want to pick up,

85
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,200
Speaker 1: you want to get out there and watch him do

86
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: some stuff. And then when they start running around doing

87
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: it's like, oh gosh, I got start watch. I'm ready

88
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,480

90
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: McCoy some of us comments from yesterday. We thought we're

91
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,839
Speaker 1: worth diving into a little bit more today, so we'll

92
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: pick up some of Shady's comments from me. We were

93
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: busy yesterday because we didn't when after we showed Shady

94
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:24,840
Speaker 1: live on at the podium, we never even got a

95
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 1: chance to talk about what he said, and we went

96
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: right on to Uh. We had Mike Love on the

97
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,760
Speaker 1: show yesterday the defensive end, so we didn't have a

98
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: chance to talk about all the stuff we heard yesterday

99
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 1: live from the podium. So we want to go back

100
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,000
Speaker 1: and get Lashawn McCoy and give you guys a chance

101
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 1: to give our listeners a chance to react and listen

102
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: to what he said again, because it he's the best

103
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 1: player on the team. You know, you gotta hear from

104
00:04:44,880 --> 00:04:46,760
Speaker 1: gotta hear from him. Yeah, and we're gonna hear from

105
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 1: Chris Brown right now. Bill's insider Chris Brown from Buffalo

Speaker 1: Bills dot Com standing by on the sidelines out of

107
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: day two of the mandatory mini camp. A little bit

108
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:59,280
Speaker 1: different weather than you had yesterday, off there, Chris, Yeah,

109
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: overcast eyes, but looks like they'll be okay. I mean,

110
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: they're supposed to get this practice in start to finish,

111
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:10,320
Speaker 1: so hopefully, you know, they don't get wet out here

112
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:14,320
Speaker 1: and they can get their work done. Hey, Chris, you

113
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 1: know we talked to you before practice yesterday. We did

114
00:05:16,560 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: not get a chance to talk to you after practice yesterday.

115
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 1: And as I hear reporters who were there and read

116
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:25,360
Speaker 1: reports about practice, it sounds like it was a kind

117
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 1: of a standout day for the quarterback yesterday, in particular

118
00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:31,159
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. Is. Would that be your take on yesterday's

119
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: day one of mini camp workouts? Yeah, I think that's

120
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 1: a fair assessment. I think Peterman had probably the best

121
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,040
Speaker 1: day of the three quarterbacks, just from a consistency standpoint

122
00:05:41,560 --> 00:05:45,240
Speaker 1: and from you know the standpoint of having the timing

123
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: down with the receivers. I thought Aj had some good

124
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 1: timing with the receivers also, But on the whole, I

125
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,720
Speaker 1: think Peterman had the best day of the three. He

126
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: was just on point with everything, command of the huddle,

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:04,719
Speaker 1: making a check at the line, touch passes, timing routes.

128
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,320
Speaker 1: He just really had it all down. Is there anything

129
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:09,279
Speaker 1: going on with the schedule day and get any sense

130
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: of going to do something different or what kind of

131
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 1: situations did they run through yesterday so that we can

132
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: kind of get a handle on what they will not

133
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: run through today or maybe what they will. They did

134
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:22,200
Speaker 1: have a long blitz period during one of the team segments.

135
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: We haven't seen two minute yet this week, and we

136
00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:29,320
Speaker 1: haven't seen much red zone. There was a little touch

137
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: of red zone in the final team segment yesterday, and

138
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: that was when AJ McCarron found Nicoleary for probably the

139
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 1: best throw of the day for him, but it was

140
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: abbreviated because they were at the end of the practice session.

141
00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: So I would anticipate somewhere between today and tomorrow we're

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,440
Speaker 1: going to see some two minute and some red zone.

143
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: What do you think about the blitz periods, Chris, I mean,

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 1: that's something that you know they haven't seen yet. You

145
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: gotta get into it. But is it normally something that

146
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: would be introduced during the minicamp or does it typically

147
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: wait until training camp? What do you think? Now, you'll

148
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,240
Speaker 1: see that in mini camp to a certain degree, maybe

149
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: not to the extent you'll see in training camp where

150
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: you might see it two or three days in a

151
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 1: row when they're putting the blitz packages in and the

152
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 1: production packages in. But there was some exposure to that yesterday,

153
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: and I was interested to see how Josh was going

154
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,120
Speaker 1: to react to that, you know, because everything gets sped

155
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: up a little bit in those kinds of situations. So,

156
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: you know, Fortunately for Josh, I think he did fairly

157
00:07:30,840 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 1: well all things considered. He didn't look crossed up. He

158
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: did take off out of the pocket a few times.

159
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: You can debate whether it was premature or not. Something

160
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: you often see with rookie quarterbacks is once the pressure comes,

161
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 1: if they don't see their first read, they're taking off

162
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 1: and running and leaving the pocket maybe earlier than an

163
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator would prefer. I'll tell you one thing. The

164
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:57,400
Speaker 1: guy that flashed during blitz period was Shack Lawson. I

165
00:07:57,440 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: thought he had the best day of all the defensive

166
00:07:59,440 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 1: lineman yesterday. He probably factored in on about ten of

167
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: his snaps yesterday. He was a factor on about five

168
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: or six of them. He had a batted pass, he

169
00:08:11,080 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: had a would be sack, He had two other quarterback

170
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: pressures and probably would have had a quarterback hit. He

171
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: just looks so much faster off the line this year.

172
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: And I talked to him last week, you know, when

173
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: we discussed how he's trimmed down, reduced his body fat percentage,

174
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: how he's gonna in the five weeks between now and

175
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:30,920
Speaker 1: training camp gonna go work with former NFL defensive and

176
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: Chuck Smith at his training facility down in Atlanta, and

177
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 1: he wants to trim down even more. It's a noticeable difference.

178
00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:41,719
Speaker 1: He is a lot faster off the line. I think

179
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 1: when he first got here, his resume was largely that

180
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 1: of a power rusher who won with power. But if

181
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 1: he can continue to slim down even a little bit more,

182
00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: he might be able to consistently win with speed off

183
00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: the edge, which is quite frankly, guys, a bonus. I

184
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: don't think anybody really anticipate pay that he would do

185
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 1: that even off the left side. So if you can

186
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: continue on this path, he could be a real valuable

187
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,280
Speaker 1: contributor to that pass rush. One of the things that's

188
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,520
Speaker 1: going on now, Chris, as we watch and you watch

189
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: practice as much as anybody would seem to me that

190
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,160
Speaker 1: since they're limited time on the practice field with these

191
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 1: with these mini camps, do they abbreviate the individual and

192
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: little drill work that they do get in right into

193
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: the teamwork because they do have abbreviated time to do that,

194
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,959
Speaker 1: and they want to get as much team work as

195
00:09:27,960 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: they can because they're so little of it, so precious

196
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: little of it they have time to do. So do

197
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:35,760
Speaker 1: these practices kind of focus on eleven on eleven more

198
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,400
Speaker 1: so than the individual drill work. That's kind of hard

199
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,559
Speaker 1: to say whether they do or they don't. I know

200
00:09:42,720 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: that this coaching stay have values the fundamentals greatly, so

201
00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 1: I can't I can't see them cutting individual position drills

202
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: short when you are going over those fundamentals, you know,

203
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:56,319
Speaker 1: especially with a team that really has largely turned over

204
00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 1: to a great degree here and does have an awful

205
00:09:58,800 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: lot more youth this year than last year. I will

206
00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 1: say this, I think some of the team segments are

207
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 1: extended a little bit in terms of the number of

208
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 1: plays that they run. There were some team segments last

209
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: year at this time that would only last twelve plays,

210
00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: and they've had a couple that They had a couple

211
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:21,160
Speaker 1: of team segments yesterday that went sixteen to eighteen plays.

212
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:24,600
Speaker 1: So I think they're at lengthening the team segments where

213
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: they're gobbling up that extra time or where they're robbing

214
00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,240
Speaker 1: from Peter to pay Paul. I'm not exactly certain, but

215
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 1: I don't get the sense that the individual position drill

216
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: segments are much shorter at all. We're talking with Chris

217
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: Brown builds inside of Chris Brown, who's on the field

218
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: as day two of Bill's Mini camp is getting underway.

219
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: They're breaking off into individual work as we speak, and Chris,

220
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: we got a guest coming up here after practice today,

221
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds, Buffalo's other first round draft pick. Can you

222
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: give us your initial thoughts on what you've seen from

223
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 1: him from the through the OTA's and one day of

224
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:58,720
Speaker 1: mini camp. What do you look like? How's he doing? It?

225
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: Looks comfortable? You know, you say, well, you're you got

226
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: a twenty year old there he's physically gifted beyond belief.

227
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,600
Speaker 1: I mean, he's a head taller than every other linebacker,

228
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 1: he's got arms that go on for days, and the

229
00:11:12,600 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: guy can run like a four four to five. So

230
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,320
Speaker 1: I mean, all of that is pretty stupid in one package.

231
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: But then you add in the fact that his football

232
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: IQ is off the charts, and you also throw in

233
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: the guy is very mature for his age. He has

234
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,760
Speaker 1: no problem talking to Lorenzo Alexander telling him what the

235
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: check is before the snap. I mean, it's a twenty

236
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: year old talking to a thirty five year old, but

237
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,920
Speaker 1: it's a twenty year old who acts like a you know,

238
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: a five six year, six year veteran. And so the

239
00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: transition from Virginia Tech to hear and the responsibilities being

240
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:52,840
Speaker 1: put on him do not seem too much for him.

241
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,200
Speaker 1: He seems completely comfortable with the responsibilities the job that

242
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: he's got to execute here. And Lorenzo Alexander even said it,

243
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: and I think might have even mentioned it on your

244
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: show once or twice, that it's a guy that doesn't

245
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 1: come in the door asking and well, how do I

246
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:12,560
Speaker 1: do this? And how do I study film? How do

247
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 1: I lead? He acts like a pro already and I

248
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:18,760
Speaker 1: think that's helping him. And he had a nice play yesterday.

249
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: It was a tip pass and being the tallest guy,

250
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: he was the first man to it and had an interception,

251
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 1: ran all the way to the end zone sixty yards

252
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:31,160
Speaker 1: the other way. Even though the officials blew the play dead.

253
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: They had officials here yesterday, he kept running all the

254
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,120
Speaker 1: way to the end zone. So I think the early

255
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: early indicators are very encouraging. A couple of other rookies

256
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: I'm defense. I want to ask you about Chris in

257
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: the in the secondary, Taron Johnson, the corner from Weber State,

258
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: and the safety surround Neil. What have you seen from

259
00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:51,720
Speaker 1: them if they flashed it all through the practices you've

260
00:12:51,720 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 1: seen so far, not to any great degree, you know,

261
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 1: Taron Johnson is going to be the chief competition for

262
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines for that slot corner role in the Nickel package.

263
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: I think he has better change of direction skills than

264
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines, but obviously Philip Gaines has the experience factor.

265
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: Philip Gaines I don't think is gonna wow you with

266
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: his athleticism, but he does seem to always be in

267
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: the right place at the right time, So I think

268
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: he uses his football smarts to position himself to make plays. Now,

269
00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this guy's gonna come out this year

270
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: and have five interceptions, but he's gonna be in position

271
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,840
Speaker 1: where you can count on him, you feel he's reliable.

272
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:33,840
Speaker 1: He's not gonna have a lot of busts that kind

273
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:36,480
Speaker 1: of thing. So then it becomes a question of, well,

274
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 1: how far along can tarn Johnson come. He's probably athletically superior,

275
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 1: but can his mind catch up to his body to

276
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,439
Speaker 1: allow him to execute on a consistent basis. I think

277
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna have to wait till training camp, preseason, things

278
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,640
Speaker 1: like that, But that's gonna be an interesting competition to watch.

279
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:57,800
Speaker 1: As for Sarah Neil, he's coming along a little bit slower,

280
00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,760
Speaker 1: and I think we all understand why he's coming from

281
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,360
Speaker 1: all program. He never really got the opportunity to focus

282
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 1: on one position in college because he played a little

283
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: bit of a hybrid linebacker one year safety and then

284
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 1: he played corner last year as a senior at Jacksonville State.

285
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:16,280
Speaker 1: So he or they have him working at safety, and

286
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: I think he's still trying to get a feel for

287
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: it in terms of the leverage responsibilities, who he has

288
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 1: to help in certain coverages. And it's a complex defense.

289
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: I mean, even Micah Hyde said, you know, we may

290
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: only have twelve to fifteen base calls, but there are

291
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:38,000
Speaker 1: fifty four to fifty five different sets that come out

292
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: of those, and I think that's gonna be a lot

293
00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,480
Speaker 1: for sarah Neil to process coming from where he's coming from.

294
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: So right now he's running third team and I don't

295
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: see that changing anytime soon. Talk a little bit about

296
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 1: the other guys in the secondary, Chris Brown, You this

297
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: is a tough group to break into. You got two

298
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,800
Speaker 1: safeties there were at Pro Bowl level. You got one

299
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:02,240
Speaker 1: of the great corners rookie corners last year in Tradavious White.

300
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: You've got a Vante Davis at corner. Who is the

301
00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: next guy in I mean at corner and at safety?

302
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: Are there? You know? Because at this point, getting deep

303
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,400
Speaker 1: into training camp, getting into the mini camp and headed

304
00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:17,920
Speaker 1: into training camp, you know who's gonna be the next

305
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,240
Speaker 1: two defensive backs that make this squad because those are

306
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: guys that are actually gonna play significant snaps. Well, I mean,

307
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:27,400
Speaker 1: I think your third safety is Raphael Bush, the free

308
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:31,320
Speaker 1: agent they signed in the off season. You know, he's

309
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:34,960
Speaker 1: got some years on his resume and he's performed. I mean,

310
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,320
Speaker 1: he's also a help on special team, So that only

311
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: makes him more attractive as a candidate, because even if

312
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: he's not playing on defense and you have him up

313
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: on a Sunday, he's gonna help you on special teams.

314
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:48,600
Speaker 1: With Hide and Poyer on the field, and then I

315
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,680
Speaker 1: think at outside on the boundary at corner. You know,

316
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 1: your next two guys that are running second team since

317
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: probably the second week of OTAs is Lafayette Pitts, who

318
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:01,640
Speaker 1: got some playing time late last year when injury struck

319
00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 1: the cornerback contingent, and I thought played pretty well, and

320
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 1: he's handled himself pretty well in this camp too. He's

321
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent, no busts out there at least that

322
00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 1: we can discern from the sidelines, and he's got some

323
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 1: athleticism to him. And he also is a good special teamer.

324
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 1: They use him as a gunner on punt so you know,

325
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 1: I think another another dual role type player, which is

326
00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: just what you're looking for from a backup capacity. And

327
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,720
Speaker 1: then the guy that's lining up opposite him with the

328
00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: second team is the undrafted kid Levi Wallace. I think

329
00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: what's most attractive about Levi Wallace. He's not an off

330
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: the charts athlete, but he's very long, and long corners

331
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 1: are in vogue right now. He's got long, he's a

332
00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 1: long limbed player, and he can flip his hips, turn

333
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:49,640
Speaker 1: and run. I think the only concern with him is

334
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:54,120
Speaker 1: if he does make a false move, his catchup speed

335
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:56,880
Speaker 1: is not there, you know, to break up the big

336
00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,760
Speaker 1: play at this level, So if he bites on a

337
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:02,080
Speaker 1: double move or something like that, that's where he gets

338
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:04,440
Speaker 1: himself in trouble. We haven't seen that to any great

339
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: degree to this point, but that's pretty much the guys

340
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,680
Speaker 1: that are running second team behind the starters in the secondary.

341
00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:12,280
Speaker 1: With Chris Brown, Bills insider Buffalo Bills dot Com on

342
00:17:12,320 --> 00:17:14,800
Speaker 1: the field at the Bill's minicamp day two today and

343
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:18,159
Speaker 1: Chris another guy who people talked about from his work yesterday,

344
00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: and a guy we've talked about with Pandham on the

345
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 1: show on offense, another rookie, undrafted rookie wide receiver free

346
00:17:23,560 --> 00:17:26,919
Speaker 1: agent Robert Foster who ran with the Ones yesterday. What

347
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: do we read into that? Is he having a good

348
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:32,440
Speaker 1: spring so far? Do you think? Yeah? I think he's

349
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,199
Speaker 1: played really well. I'm encouraged, you know. I think I

350
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,399
Speaker 1: talked to you guys previously on the show about this.

351
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 1: He's got all the measurables you want more, you know.

352
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:46,320
Speaker 1: I mean, he's like six two almost two hundred pounds,

353
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,600
Speaker 1: runs like a deer. The knock on him is football instincts,

354
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 1: which is why it was hard for him to get

355
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: on the field at Alabama. But I think he comes

356
00:17:57,240 --> 00:17:59,720
Speaker 1: in the door knowing a lot of what coach day ball.

357
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 1: It's out of an offense. You know how much of

358
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: the terminology carried over from the college game to the

359
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: Bill's offense. I'm not sure, but you have to believe

360
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 1: he has somewhat of a head start in that regard

361
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:16,480
Speaker 1: and understands the concepts. And then, guys, he's just flat

362
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: out winning on routes. I mean he's He had a

363
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:22,800
Speaker 1: route yesterday where he split wide to the left and

364
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:25,600
Speaker 1: it was a double move where he turns it to

365
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: a go. It was like a Slugo route. So he

366
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: takes the go up the field and he's got his

367
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:35,600
Speaker 1: man completely beat and mccaren unfortunately saw it late, so

368
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 1: he couldn't put enough air under the ball. He kind

369
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 1: of had to put it on a rope, and even

370
00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: then Foster still almost pulled it in. There was just

371
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:44,680
Speaker 1: a little too much mustard on it, not enough arc

372
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: on it, and it just skimmed off his fingertips because

373
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:49,639
Speaker 1: it would have been a forty five yard touchdown. And

374
00:18:49,720 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 1: I think that's just a small taste. And even after

375
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,359
Speaker 1: the play, as Foster's coming back to the group that

376
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: stands behind, you know, the players that are on the

377
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,960
Speaker 1: field in the huddle, Dabile even walk dover to Foster

378
00:19:01,040 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: and said, Robert, that's a good route by you. That's

379
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,120
Speaker 1: not on you, meaning, you know, the quarterback saw it late,

380
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: threw the ball too flat and didn't make the plague.

381
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 1: He's making plays every day, and if he can keep

382
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: that up, you know, he's gonna put himself in a

383
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:16,640
Speaker 1: good position to make the fifty three man roster. Forget

384
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,199
Speaker 1: about the practice squad. Yeah, with between him and the

385
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: two drafted rookie wide receivers, that should be a pretty

386
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: competitive battle. We've talked about receivers a lot on this show, Chris,

387
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: but the doors wide open right for everybody after Kelvin Benjamin,

388
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,400
Speaker 1: So who knows what they wind up with when they

389
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:36,360
Speaker 1: cut down to fifty three finally in September, no question,

390
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: and I would say, if you want to stack those

391
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:45,120
Speaker 1: guys right now, it's probably Foster McLeod Prole. I think

392
00:19:45,119 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: you can even throw Cam Phillips, the other undrafted kid

393
00:19:47,520 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: out of Virginia Tech, in the mix. He's made some plays.

394
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I think Pearls had the toughest time, primarily because Jeremy

395
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: Curley's getting a ton of reps in the slot right now,

396
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,879
Speaker 1: and you know Proles coming on second, third team and

397
00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: is having a tough time finding the reps number one

398
00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: and then number two getting the ball thrown to him.

399
00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: So it's gonna be interesting to see because I worry

400
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,080
Speaker 1: about Prole a little bit when the pads go on

401
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 1: and the game gets even more physical. I was hoping

402
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: he would flash more here because this is where the

403
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: jitterbug guys kind of kidd of the chance to really

404
00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 1: show their abilities because the contact is supremely limited. Pads

405
00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 1: aren't on, guys aren't jamminy at the line, and that's

406
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,000
Speaker 1: an opportunity for a guy like Austin Prole to show

407
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:31,360
Speaker 1: his separation ability, and he just hasn't flashed enough here,

408
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:33,920
Speaker 1: you know, through the first three weeks OTAs and first

409
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 1: day of minicamp when we talk about the receiver battles, Chris,

410
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,680
Speaker 1: is there any indication at all through OTAs and nowaday

411
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,320
Speaker 1: plus in the minicamp, any indication that the quarterback battle

412
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: and the rotation of quarterbacks might be impacting those guys

413
00:20:46,840 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: as the receivers as they battled for jobs, you know,

414
00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: they're looking at a different guy a lot as they

415
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:55,400
Speaker 1: rotate those quarterbacks through. Uh. Yeah, I've asked a couple

416
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 1: receivers about that, and you know, they've kind of told

417
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: the company line on that, and they say, look, we

418
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: don't we don't know who the starter is going to be,

419
00:21:02,640 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 1: so we've got to get used to all three of them.

420
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: You know. I know that Andre Holmes told me, you know,

421
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:10,919
Speaker 1: it might be a little awkward if one of the

422
00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:12,600
Speaker 1: guys was a lefty and the other two were a

423
00:21:12,720 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: righty because the ball just comes out different. It's obviously

424
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: spinning the opposite way. He said, that might be the

425
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: only thing that might cross some of us up if

426
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,080
Speaker 1: that was the case. But it's not. You know, they're

427
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: all right handed guys. So yeah, all of the guys

428
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:30,040
Speaker 1: that I've spoken to have said, look, this is the situation.

429
00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:32,399
Speaker 1: It is what it is. If we want to be

430
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: on the field naked place for this offense, we got

431
00:21:34,240 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 1: to get used to all three so when the guy

432
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: does get tabbed, we're ready no matter who it is. Well,

433
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,880
Speaker 1: one last battle we got to talk about Brownie before

434
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 1: we let you go. Is probably one of the most

435
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 1: frustrating ones to watch at this point in the preseason

436
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 1: because they don't have pads on, and that's the offensive line.

437
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:53,359
Speaker 1: These guys are in there. You're trying to evaluate guys

438
00:21:53,400 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: who can't do their job. At this point in training campus,

439
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: there's no contact allowed. So how's that going and who's

440
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 1: rotating in and out? And what are the things to

441
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,439
Speaker 1: watch in the offensive line battle? Yeah, well, I mean

442
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: the first two weeks of OTAs it was Russell Bodine

443
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,680
Speaker 1: running with the ones at center, and then the last

444
00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: week of OTAs and then Mini camp. So far it's

445
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 1: been Ryan Groy that's been manning first team center. So

446
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: it looks like that's going to continue through the week.

447
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:21,560
Speaker 1: We'll have to take a look to see how they're

448
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,400
Speaker 1: lining up. I'm trying to take a peek over there

449
00:22:23,480 --> 00:22:27,120
Speaker 1: right now and I can't tell at this point because

450
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,920
Speaker 1: they're not lined up as a group. But I think

451
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,320
Speaker 1: Roy is probably going to carry through the rest of

452
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,639
Speaker 1: this week as the number one center. Now, does that

453
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:37,199
Speaker 1: mean he goes into training camp, you know, as the

454
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 1: lead guy? I would say probably. I was expecting a

455
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: little more competition quite frankly guys at the guard positions.

456
00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: But John Miller and Flad Ducas have been the ones

457
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: that had left in right guard, respectively since OTAs began,

458
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 1: and it has not changed one iota with the first team,

459
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 1: So it doesn't look like there's gonna be much of

460
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: a competition there. And then even at right tackle, where

461
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,639
Speaker 1: I think some of us anticipated perhaps Marshall Newhouse, the

462
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:03,199
Speaker 1: veteran free agent signy, might push Jordan Mills a little bit.

463
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,840
Speaker 1: It's been Mills all the way start to finish as well.

464
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: So you know, when you think about all the turnover

465
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: and change that did happen on the interior of the

466
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,880
Speaker 1: offensive line, you kind of wonder if the coaching staff said,

467
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: maybe we should just change as little as possible from

468
00:23:16,400 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: here on out. Let's leave Dawkins and Mills where they are,

469
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: Let's just nail down the center spot and go with

470
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:27,000
Speaker 1: these two guards that both have NFL experience as starters. Hey, Chris, thanks,

471
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 1: enjoy practice. We'll talk to you again tomorrow, I hope,

472
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:32,640
Speaker 1: thank you very much. All Right, take it easy, guys.

473
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:35,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown bills inside of Buffalo Bills that com In fact,

474
00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,440
Speaker 1: I know we'll talk to tomorrow. He's gonna be kind

475
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,120
Speaker 1: of co hosting the show tomorrow when you are off

476
00:23:39,119 --> 00:23:43,680
Speaker 1: on vacation, off on vacation. I'm going to enjoy the break.

477
00:23:44,240 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: I don't blame me. I'm gonna enjoy mine. The receiver

478
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:51,240
Speaker 1: battle becomes interesting, and here Chris talk about the rookie Foster,

479
00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,120
Speaker 1: Robert Foster, who he says is right in the middle

480
00:23:54,119 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: of the mix now and again we're just taking snapshots

481
00:23:56,840 --> 00:24:02,160
Speaker 1: here of minicamp practices. But you've got rookies, two draft picks,

482
00:24:02,440 --> 00:24:05,679
Speaker 1: and Foster and really not an established pecking order when

483
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: it comes to the receivers. Yet. I think it's very

484
00:24:07,560 --> 00:24:09,560
Speaker 1: very interesting movie. We got into. We got into Chris

485
00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: Brown right off the top of the show, and we

486
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 1: didn't set the Twitter pole. Did you do that? We

487
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: did not go ahead? Do it? Best Twitter poll of

488
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: all time? Today? You know my criteria, you come up

489
00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: with it. No well, that's that's a but A one

490
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,520
Speaker 1: is that it's an even race. Uh, and it is

491
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 1: which Buffalo Bill's free agent acquisition on defense are you

492
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: most excited to watch this season? And so a vote

493
00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:36,119
Speaker 1: between your response and it's Star Lotu, La Vante Davis

494
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:40,639
Speaker 1: or Trent Murphy. Thirty two percent for Star Lotulele, thirty

495
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: three for Vonte Davis, and thirty four for Trent Murphy

496
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 1: and one percent has other that My friend is a

497
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: twitter it's a Twitter pole. That is a racehorse. It's

498
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: the free agents that they acquired on defense. We all

499
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,640
Speaker 1: they're all going to be good. They spent their money

500
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 1: defensively this year in free agency, three key guys. You

501
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: would think all three of them are going to be starters.

502
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: Low too, Lal Davis and Trent Murphy split right down

503
00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 1: the middle three ways thirty two, thirty three and thirty

504
00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: three percent. We'd like to talk about it with you

505
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,080
Speaker 1: if you have a thought on that eighth three fifty

506
00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight by fifty two five fifty

507
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:13,800
Speaker 1: or on Twitter, vote on Twitter or send us a tweet.

508
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,560
Speaker 1: We got some pretty good tweets on this too. Yeah,

509
00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,120
Speaker 1: we do. And it's it's interesting too, because you can

510
00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 1: make a case and it's easy and logically speaking for

511
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,359
Speaker 1: those people who kind of follow the team, you know

512
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,120
Speaker 1: why these guys are gonna be got a chance eat

513
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: both all three of them have a chance to really do,

514
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:30,360
Speaker 1: to really contribute and to take a make a big

515
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: difference and kind of flash for the Buffalo Bill's defense.

516
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: First of all, Trent Murphy and Star loto Le join

517
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,000
Speaker 1: up front seven who was who was? Who struggled last year,

518
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:40,800
Speaker 1: didn't stop the run very well, didn't get a lot

519
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 1: of rushing pass rush. Star Lotulele was brought in strictly

520
00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,440
Speaker 1: for that run, stopping and collapsing the pocket on the

521
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: pass rush. And of course Trent Murphy coming off the edge,

522
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 1: you can make the case that he's going to be

523
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:55,280
Speaker 1: a huge difference maker. You heard Chris Brown a few

524
00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,399
Speaker 1: moments ago saying that Shack Lawson looks completely different. Well,

525
00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,200
Speaker 1: if you have two guys at defensive end in a

526
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: four three coming off the edge and you throw Jerry

527
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:06,120
Speaker 1: Hughes into that, it looks like they've got some guys

528
00:26:06,119 --> 00:26:07,959
Speaker 1: that can really get to the pastor that's gonna be

529
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: a huge difference than it could be. Trent Murphy. Of course,

530
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 1: Fonte Davis playing opposite one of the top corners in

531
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:17,600
Speaker 1: the league in Tredavious White, He's gonna get some opportunities.

532
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: Albody's gonna get thrown at. Is a ten year veteran,

533
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: a guy who people are gonna perceive as being you know,

534
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,639
Speaker 1: he's gonna be over therehild They're gonna throw at him.

535
00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:25,480
Speaker 1: He might have a chance. I have a confession, Steve.

536
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 1: You came up with a Twitter pole. Our producer Today's producer,

537
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: JJ Turrito and I were talking about it just a

538
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: few minutes before I went on in the air, and

539
00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: I said, I don't know about Today's Twitter pole. I

540
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: don't know if we're gonna get much response. I was wrong.

541
00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 1: You're right looking at thirty three percent. That's right. I'm sorry.

542
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:46,399
Speaker 1: I doubted you well, I do. I sense you. I

543
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 1: share your your pessimist him about my abilities. But no, no,

544
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 1: it wasn't you. It was the question I thought, people

545
00:26:52,480 --> 00:26:55,280
Speaker 1: really know who the free agent acquisitions aren't. The answer

546
00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:57,160
Speaker 1: is yes, you do know fans and you do care

547
00:26:57,400 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: they do some of these tweets. Brian Rossick. No, Trent

548
00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:03,080
Speaker 1: Murphy grabbed my attention during previous interviews. Well that's good

549
00:27:03,119 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: because we did one of those good ones. Yeah, he says.

550
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,040
Speaker 1: With the supporting cast end system he has now, I

551
00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 1: expect big things from him and the rest. In my opinion,

552
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: he's the most hardcore Vante will be fun an approve

553
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: it year and you know how defensive backs are mouth

554
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: each but advantage Trent Murphy. Yeah, here's I agree with everything.

555
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: Brian Rossiter now says the tweet. He's got to get

556
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,280
Speaker 1: on the field though, and I'm not saying he's overdue yet,

557
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: but it's hard for me to get worked up. I

558
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,320
Speaker 1: love what Trent Murphy represents. I love how he works out,

559
00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 1: I love his passion to his craft. But he's on

560
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: the sidelines now, you know, from a pretty serious knee injury.

561
00:27:37,119 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 1: They'll go to camp and that hopefully we'll change it.

562
00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I'll start getting reps at camp, but I'm getting impatient.

563
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 1: I want to see him out. And this is why

564
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:45,359
Speaker 1: I love the tweet sheet. I mean, people call and

565
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 1: some of them are really thought out. And this is

566
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,040
Speaker 1: from Brian Cook. He goes. I have to say, Davis.

567
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,400
Speaker 1: Everybody else on this list is an obvious upgrade over

568
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 1: last year. Davis is replacing a key contributor in EJ. Gaines.

569
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: While on paper there should be no drop off, chemistry

570
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 1: was a big part of our secondary six, making it one,

571
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:05,280
Speaker 1: making it my one free agent signing to watch on defense.

572
00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, no question. He J. Gaines was a lost

573
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: last year, but for placing him with Vontae Davis is great.

574
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:15,159
Speaker 1: Plus I agree everybody on that list. Those three guys, Star, Vonte,

575
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,680
Speaker 1: and Trent are all upgrades over last year. You gotta

576
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:21,719
Speaker 1: think those that's gonna help that front seven, even if

577
00:28:21,720 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: it is Vontae Davis doesn't play in the front seven.

578
00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:27,760
Speaker 1: That's it's a lot to be optimistic about. And those

579
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 1: just in those three names, it's it's a good twitter poll.

580
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 1: I acknowledge, I confess I was wrong, you were right.

581
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 1: It's a good Twitter poll. We'll get more into the

582
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, hopefully take some of your phone calls and

583
00:28:37,760 --> 00:28:41,040

603
00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: the Bills work out on the grass practice field. The

604
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:53,160
Speaker 1: stadium is quiet, the workout areas not quiet. We saw

605
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: our buddy DJ Milk stopped in the sayloh, they got tunes.

Speaker 1: I also see him at the arena before Savers games.

612
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 1: He's out in the in the four yer. He's doing

613
00:30:10,760 --> 00:30:12,760
Speaker 1: it up there too, So I, um, he's fun to

614
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 1: talk to. He's great, and he's he's getting busier and

615
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: busier now. He you know, he bumping into people. He

616
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: saw How's Ley at dinner one nine. Now he's maybe

617
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna DJ some Savers practices too. So why do you

618
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: think Marv didn't have music throughout your practice? You know,

619
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 1: it's interesting. Why do we need music at I'm not

620
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: against it, but I just wonder what he's changed. It's

621
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: interesting because it has been an evolution. There's always music

622
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:37,520
Speaker 1: in the locker room, right, and sometimes it's sometimes it

623
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,000
Speaker 1: was rap and funk, and then sometimes there's country met

624
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:42,520
Speaker 1: country western, dependent on you know, who who turned it

625
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:44,400
Speaker 1: on or who was that was, you know, in charge

626
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: of the music that day. But at practice, Um, Marv

627
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: in his research back then, I don't know. There's probably

628
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:54,240
Speaker 1: other research that says other things now, but obviously everybody

629
00:30:54,280 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: has this home field thing. Where if it's going to

630
00:30:57,280 --> 00:31:00,440
Speaker 1: be a noisy stadium, you want to practice with that

631
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,360
Speaker 1: side of the ball. It's noisy. So if you're on

632
00:31:03,400 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 1: the road, you have your offense practicing with loud and

633
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,880
Speaker 1: noise music and they play music instead of just crowd noise.

634
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 1: They play music so you can't really hear and they

635
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: jack it up to I mean, they make it loud,

636
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: so you really have to enunciate. You have to read lips,

637
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 1: you have to get signals and that kind of thing,

638
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 1: and you have to do that on practice. If you're

639
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,160
Speaker 1: on the road, it's the offense. Next week when you're

640
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: at home, well, the crowd's yelling for their offense, so

641
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,840
Speaker 1: they can't hear the signals. So our defense practices with

642
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,160
Speaker 1: noise on a home game. So that's kind of the

643
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: thought of behind it. Back then, in the last century

644
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,120
Speaker 1: when I played, it was Marv's philosophy was he wanted

645
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 1: to Marv was big on rest and he said the

646
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 1: research I've said then, and we all know this, when

647
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 1: you're out there and the music's playing or you're doing

648
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 1: something and there's always loud music, it exhausts you because

649
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: you do have to concentrate. It's exhausting. Marv's thought it

650
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: was more important for us not to be exhausted than

651
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 1: to practice with the music. So what he would do

652
00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 1: is say, okay, this is a silent practice. You're not

653
00:32:05,080 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 1: allowed to talk when you're calling the offense. When this week,

654
00:32:08,920 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: when we're on offense, you can't talk. So we would

655
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: have to signal everything, and Jim Kelly would not be

656
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: able to yell to the receivers. He wouldn't be able

657
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 1: to so we would just go silent rather than have

658
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 1: the music blaring where everybody was getting worn out, everybody

659
00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:24,440
Speaker 1: was not in the play, even was getting worn out.

660
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,800
Speaker 1: And then conversaly, we do it on the defensive side.

661
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: The defense defenders like Mark Kelso and all those guys,

662
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:31,840
Speaker 1: they would make signals. Corney has been at Bruce Smith.

663
00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: They would do it nonverbally. We wouldn't have the music playing.

664
00:32:36,160 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: We would just act like it was too loud, and

665
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: you would be and they you know, guys, would you know,

666
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 1: you get fined a dollar if you, you know, break

667
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:48,320
Speaker 1: the rule. So there was a different philosophy and that

668
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: and you don't have to spend the money on a DJ.

669
00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:56,560
Speaker 1: Different era couldn't afford the disject right. M d J.

670
00:32:56,720 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: Milk out there playing today, He'll be out there all

Speaker 1: and all that, they want to make sure they don't

687
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 1: get too many people there, so they have to get

688
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: they give the tickets out at different locations and some

689
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,479

789
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:57,920
Speaker 1: Princess Superhero Day, the wild West Day or other. I

790
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: think it's Princess Superhero Game. I really do. Training camp

791
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,120
Speaker 1: is coming, it starts. My math is right, I think

792
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:09,960
Speaker 1: six weeks from tomorrow. I believe it's it'll be here.

793
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: And in the meantime, we've got some vacations to get through.

794
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,200
Speaker 1: I was told this job would not have any math

795
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: on it, so I don't know how many weeks it's

796
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: going to be. Yeah, we're winding up getting you and

797
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,319
Speaker 1: I'll get a little bit of a refresher over the

798
00:39:20,360 --> 00:39:22,080
Speaker 1: next couple of weeks and we'll come back and hit

799
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,520
Speaker 1: the ground running about two weeks, just under two weeks

800
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: away from training camp starting, and then it's a it's

801
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,360
Speaker 1: a sprint to the finish till first week of February

802
00:39:31,440 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 1: when the Super Bowl is. Well, that's the thing, and

803
00:39:33,160 --> 00:39:35,400
Speaker 1: we are we live different lives than most as far

804
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: as the NFL. For me, the season begins when training

805
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: camp begins. You know what I mean, because you're just

806
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 1: locked in and you never get out until the season ends.

807
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 1: Last year it went all the way to January seventh.

808
00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:45,880
Speaker 1: Most years it's a week before that. But to me,

809
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: the start of the season is the start of training

810
00:39:47,719 --> 00:39:49,799
Speaker 1: camp and I love Camp. I can't believe you're so

811
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,880
Speaker 1: down on camp. Here's why I like. I like getting

812
00:39:51,880 --> 00:39:53,879
Speaker 1: out of the office. We love our studio, but it's

813
00:39:53,920 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 1: good to be out of here for what we got

814
00:39:55,520 --> 00:39:58,000
Speaker 1: eight or ten days. Great to be out in the sunshine.

815
00:39:58,280 --> 00:39:59,920
Speaker 1: You get the chance to say, a lot of fans

816
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,439
Speaker 1: who are out there. I mean those are the real

817
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:04,320
Speaker 1: hardcore fans who are going to Princess Day and Superhero

818
00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: Day at Training Camp, Wet Day, West Day. But I

819
00:40:08,160 --> 00:40:09,839
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot to like about training Camp, plus

820
00:40:09,880 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 1: all of these stories and stuff we just talked about

821
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown, yep jobs, you know, battles for roster spot.

822
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 1: It's accelerated when you get to camp and means something

823
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,879
Speaker 1: you're weeks away now from playing a game for real.

824
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 1: That I love training Camp. I love the I always

825
00:40:21,800 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: say have going way back to back, when I was

826
00:40:23,760 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: a little kid, I would go to Niagara University and

827
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,080
Speaker 1: watch the Bills play before you were even a thought

828
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: of one Bill's dry Love camp way back then. Loved

829
00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,960
Speaker 1: it still do. I will. I will concede this. It's

830
00:40:36,040 --> 00:40:37,759
Speaker 1: better now than it was when I played. In what

831
00:40:37,880 --> 00:40:41,239
Speaker 1: way it's easier. I mean, you know, I mean it's no.

832
00:40:41,520 --> 00:40:43,360
Speaker 1: I mean you're out there running around for two and

833
00:40:43,360 --> 00:40:45,880
Speaker 1: a half hours on a hot, sunny after day afternoon,

834
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:49,799
Speaker 1: working hard, afraid for your job. I mean it's it's

835
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:52,480
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I get that. It's not rainbows and

836
00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: unicorns out there, you know. I mean, it's it's a

837
00:40:54,719 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 1: it's a competition. And while it's fun for guys like us,

838
00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,160
Speaker 1: I mean it is because it's compelling to walk watch.

839
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:01,520
Speaker 1: I mean you go over there and you see these

840
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,439
Speaker 1: guys and I and for me even to remember the

841
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,879
Speaker 1: mindset that you're in as a young player or even

842
00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:11,560
Speaker 1: a veteran player going out there and competing, and you know,

843
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 1: every rep you take, particularly for a guy like me,

844
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,680
Speaker 1: every rep I took I really felt was important. And

845
00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,719
Speaker 1: and on one hand, I see, it was fun. I'll

846
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 1: you have to admit that it feels good to do

847
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: what you do best. But at the same token, there's

848
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:30,840
Speaker 1: a lot of anxiety and a lot of emotions that

849
00:41:30,960 --> 00:41:32,719
Speaker 1: go into it, and a lot of pressure that you

850
00:41:32,719 --> 00:41:35,160
Speaker 1: put on yourself to play well. When did you find

851
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,040
Speaker 1: the anxiety would set in at night in the meetings,

852
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: when you're by yourself at night, when you're lying in bed,

853
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,800
Speaker 1: in an uncomfortable training camp dorm room or was it

854
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:45,719
Speaker 1: on the field, you know, I think I think for

855
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,600
Speaker 1: the most part, Mervin, I think most players would agree

856
00:41:48,600 --> 00:41:51,200
Speaker 1: with me. The anxiety comes when you're off the field

857
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,160
Speaker 1: and you're talking about it and you're going through plays

858
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 1: and you're you're watching guys on filming. Is when you're

859
00:41:55,960 --> 00:41:59,560
Speaker 1: at a moment when you're evaluating your progress and you

860
00:41:59,600 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 1: can't do anything about it right then you have to

861
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:04,600
Speaker 1: say out, you know, tomorrow, I've got to do that,

862
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: you know tomorrow, or I've got to do better on this,

863
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:07,680
Speaker 1: or I got to work on this, or I should

864
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,719
Speaker 1: have done better here, I should have done better there.

865
00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:13,080
Speaker 1: It's the anxiety comes in when you're at a point

866
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: when you're when it's in front of you on a

867
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,480
Speaker 1: film or whatever, and you're evaluating, you're talking to coach,

868
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 1: you're hearing other guy's playing, you're hearing them do well

869
00:42:20,640 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: and which you know you're happy about. But you can't

870
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,359
Speaker 1: help your cause while you're being evaluated. And that's that's

871
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,680
Speaker 1: the part. It's the self evaluation and the external evaluation

872
00:42:31,719 --> 00:42:34,240
Speaker 1: that's really the anxiety part. And one more question about

873
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,440
Speaker 1: the anxiety part of training camp for you know, we're

874
00:42:36,480 --> 00:42:39,440
Speaker 1: talking about sure bubble players like I guess you consider

875
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,399
Speaker 1: your something that does the media make it worse because

876
00:42:42,400 --> 00:42:45,080
Speaker 1: there's more media, they have more access, they're there every

877
00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: day for the most part. Uh, they get desperate for stories.

878
00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 1: I've been in that position. You're like, what am I

879
00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,240
Speaker 1: going to do today? And they're always there firing questions

880
00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:56,240
Speaker 1: and maybe maybe and I've seen I'd see it happened

881
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,879
Speaker 1: now in OTAs a mini camp over exaggerate a particular throw,

882
00:43:00,120 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: particular play, a particular thing that happened and a practice.

883
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Does that make it worse? It depends on the stage

884
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,919
Speaker 1: of your career. I mean for a young player, yeah,

885
00:43:09,200 --> 00:43:12,359
Speaker 1: it exacerbates the problem because you really think they know

886
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:15,880
Speaker 1: something or they know somebody or they and they tend

887
00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,760
Speaker 1: to put it on and I listen that the media

888
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,919
Speaker 1: gets crazy, or like Chris Brown bringing up that, uh,

889
00:43:22,560 --> 00:43:26,000
Speaker 1: you know, the Robert Foster catch or the incompletion to

890
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:27,880
Speaker 1: agent from a J. McCarney brings that up and all

891
00:43:27,920 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, as a guy, like a

892
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: young guy like Robert Foster, you think, man, I'm gonna

893
00:43:31,160 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: make the team because of that. You know, well, it's

894
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,239
Speaker 1: it's one rep out of a thousand. You know, it's

895
00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:38,879
Speaker 1: one small spot where you looked really good. Um, it's

896
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: not gonna make or break you. Just like making a

897
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,480
Speaker 1: mistake and dropping a good catchable ball, it's gonna make

898
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:48,799
Speaker 1: or break. It doesn't it's your total package. And the

899
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 1: media had literally it's it's all I don't want to

900
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: I don't want to overstand. I want to, but I'll

901
00:43:56,239 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: make I'll exaggerate a little bit to make a point.

902
00:43:58,040 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 1: It's laughable how little effect they have on the process.

903
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 1: It's laughable. On the on, the on the no on

904
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:08,600
Speaker 1: the coaches evaluation, they don't help. I mean they have

905
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 1: no they have no say, they have no sway over

906
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,080
Speaker 1: what happens inside the building. So the players really kind

907
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,880
Speaker 1: of get caught up in what they see and what

908
00:44:15,920 --> 00:44:18,680
Speaker 1: they say, thinking is going to affect it, and it's

909
00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:21,560
Speaker 1: not okay, all right? Six weeks It is six weeks

910
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,680
Speaker 1: from tomorrow, day one of builds a training camp Connors

941
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,719
Speaker 1: rookies out of it for now. We got one of

942
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,719
Speaker 1: them coming up after practice days. A matter of fact,

943
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 1: Jeremaine Edmond's first round draft pick. We've got to call

944
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 1: here about the theme days of training camp. Jim and

945
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 1: amorous on the line. Jim, go ahead, you're on the

946
00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: air of this, Yeah, Johns gave. I'm a Dutchman and

947
00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: I served twenty one years in the year Force and

948
00:46:16,160 --> 00:46:19,920
Speaker 1: heard military theme day. I think what would be nice

949
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:23,640
Speaker 1: would the Buffalo Bills reach out to the Patriot Guards

950
00:46:23,719 --> 00:46:26,759
Speaker 1: because we do a lot of military barrels and funerals

951
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:31,680
Speaker 1: and kind of do like a tribute to the people

952
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:37,759
Speaker 1: that served and put their volunteered their service and may

953
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:42,959
Speaker 1: feel presentable compared to what what what's been going on

954
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:47,200
Speaker 1: in the NFL league about you know, all the kneeling

955
00:46:47,320 --> 00:46:49,239
Speaker 1: and a whole lot of kneeling by the way, but

956
00:46:49,280 --> 00:46:51,640
Speaker 1: I know what you're saying, um, and yeah, that's a

957
00:46:51,680 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: good idea. I agree. I think it's a good idea.

958
00:46:55,200 --> 00:46:57,000
Speaker 1: How do you too? And I know that's what they

959
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,320
Speaker 1: have in mind. I think that's why this Military Appreciation

960
00:46:59,400 --> 00:47:01,600
Speaker 1: Day came about, don't you see? I do and I

961
00:47:01,680 --> 00:47:04,600
Speaker 1: think too if and he's right, the honor guards and stuff,

962
00:47:04,600 --> 00:47:06,400
Speaker 1: the guys that go around and if you've ever, I

963
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: had a father in law who passed away, and he

964
00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:13,440
Speaker 1: was a Navy fighter pilot in Vietnam, and he was

965
00:47:13,480 --> 00:47:15,920
Speaker 1: in his seventies when he passed, and yet he served

966
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,200
Speaker 1: when he was in his early twenties, and even then

967
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:22,800
Speaker 1: the military gave him a sendoff that it was moving.

968
00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:25,640
Speaker 1: And I think they just do so much right when

969
00:47:25,640 --> 00:47:28,240
Speaker 1: it comes to that stuff. And I applaud the bills

970
00:47:28,239 --> 00:47:31,680
Speaker 1: for making them a part of these these training camp festivities.

971
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 1: And it'll be great. It's that day is on July fifth, Sunday,

972
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:40,200
Speaker 1: July fifth to fifteen in the afternoon for those of

973
00:47:40,280 --> 00:47:42,320
Speaker 1: you who want to come out and pay on to

974
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:45,000
Speaker 1: the military, which I you know, we have fun with

975
00:47:45,040 --> 00:47:48,399
Speaker 1: a little what there's another day, Princess and Superhero Day

976
00:47:48,440 --> 00:47:51,360
Speaker 1: in wild Westland. But you know that that's something the

977
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: Military Appreciation Days something different. Yeah, I mean that's pretty cool.

978
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 1: It would be a big crowded Sunday. That's the last

979
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:02,080
Speaker 1: seven day practice. Second second less, there's one a week

980
00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:03,640
Speaker 1: later than that at twelve. This is gonna be a

981
00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,000
Speaker 1: big crowd that day. Yeah, that's gonna be the I

982
00:48:06,040 --> 00:48:08,879
Speaker 1: think for training camp. That is the week too, if

983
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: you can get there, because from one Sunday, the twenty

984
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:15,600
Speaker 1: ninth to the fifth, the next weekend, that that week

985
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:17,560
Speaker 1: is going to be a lot of fun. Although one

986
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:19,520
Speaker 1: of those practices on that Friday are going to be

987
00:48:19,560 --> 00:48:21,720
Speaker 1: in New air Field. It's a I think it's training

988
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:23,439
Speaker 1: camp looks to be pretty active this year. It's gonna

989
00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,760
Speaker 1: be a lot going on. We're talking about the Bill's roster.

990
00:48:26,920 --> 00:48:29,720
Speaker 1: Which free agent acquisition on defense are you most excited

991
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:32,000
Speaker 1: to watch this season? You can call it in eight

992
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,480
Speaker 1: oh three five fifty or from outside Buffalo one eight

993
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:37,840
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty on Twitter a

994
00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:41,759
Speaker 1: couple of responses Mark n tweets in Starlotu Lalay might

995
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,360
Speaker 1: be the most important in terms of down to down impact,

996
00:48:44,440 --> 00:48:47,919
Speaker 1: but I believe that it's Trent Murphy if he rehabs well,

997
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:50,719
Speaker 1: he can be a holy terror in our defense, makes

998
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: him more likely to be the guy who lights up

999
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,200
Speaker 1: opposing quarterbacks with rushes, hits and sacks. A lot of

1000
00:48:56,200 --> 00:48:58,359
Speaker 1: support for Trent Murphy is the guy that people are

1001
00:48:58,400 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 1: most excited about. At least a lot of the people

1002
00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 1: who are writing in and tweeting at us are lighting

1003
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,319
Speaker 1: are citing Trent Murphy. Mafia Man also writes in most

1004
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 1: excited to see Trent Murphy with a great backfield to

1005
00:49:08,480 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: force opposing quarterbacks to hold onto the ball longer, and

1006
00:49:11,640 --> 00:49:14,880
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes getting the attention upfront. Trent could be a

1007
00:49:14,880 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 1: piece that we missed last year. So you know, a

1008
00:49:17,800 --> 00:49:20,200
Speaker 1: lot of people look for him to be a real force.

1009
00:49:20,239 --> 00:49:22,560
Speaker 1: And if you look at the Twitter poll, which is

1010
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:25,239
Speaker 1: by far, in a way, the most awesome Twitter poll

1011
00:49:25,280 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: of all time, thirty three percent for Starlow to Lelay,

1012
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: thirty three percent for Vante Davis, thirty two percent for

1013
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,399
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy, and two percent other. And you think about this,

1014
00:49:36,320 --> 00:49:39,360
Speaker 1: that's that's fluctuated between thirty four and thirty three and

1015
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:41,600
Speaker 1: thirty two between all four all three of those guys.

1016
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:44,640
Speaker 1: I mean, we're still getting votes in it's almost a

1017
00:49:44,680 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: thousand votes headed in now, so it's that's murf. Yeah,

1018
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,040
Speaker 1: this is historic. That's part about the Twitter poll is

1019
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,359
Speaker 1: the fight about the Twitter poll. So you don't see

1020
00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,439
Speaker 1: it's always off the air. It's always off the air.

1021
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 1: I did, I told, I told our production. I confess

1022
00:49:59,360 --> 00:50:00,920
Speaker 1: to Steve. I thought this was kind of lame. M

1023
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:06,400
Speaker 1: came off the top rope. But it's not clearly not

1024
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,000
Speaker 1: people are engaged on defensive free I think so and

1025
00:50:10,040 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: I And you know what though, because people Vonte Davis

1026
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 1: is the wild card in there, because those for other

1027
00:50:16,080 --> 00:50:17,400
Speaker 1: two guys in the front seven, you knew they were

1028
00:50:17,400 --> 00:50:19,520
Speaker 1: gonna get some help in the front seven. But Vonte Davis,

1029
00:50:19,560 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 1: I think for me, when they signed him, I was

1030
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,000
Speaker 1: I was like, oh wow, because I was like a

1031
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: lot of Bills fans. They saw the contribution that E. J.

1032
00:50:26,640 --> 00:50:28,760
Speaker 1: Gaines made last year. He was a one year player,

1033
00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,560
Speaker 1: came in, they didn't know who he was to begin with.

1034
00:50:30,920 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: He came and played very well for the team, and

1035
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,399
Speaker 1: then they lost him in that well you know we're

1036
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:38,120
Speaker 1: gonna go backwards. Well, then Vonte Davis and the prestige

1037
00:50:38,200 --> 00:50:40,480
Speaker 1: that he has put out there and the credibility has

1038
00:50:40,520 --> 00:50:43,040
Speaker 1: because of the career he's had that made people sit

1039
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:45,240
Speaker 1: up and get wold they could they could do it again.

1040
00:50:45,520 --> 00:50:47,239
Speaker 1: In the secondary. They could be as good as they

1041
00:50:47,280 --> 00:50:49,480
Speaker 1: were last year. And then you throw in star Low,

1042
00:50:49,480 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: tu Lelee and Trent Murphy, some real quality veterans up

1043
00:50:53,000 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 1: on the front seven that that wasn't as stout as

1044
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: it should have been last year. Man, you you really

1045
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:01,080
Speaker 1: well Murphy, And I've been going around about this too.

1046
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be a top ten defense this

1047
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:07,040
Speaker 1: next year. And just because of that, just because of

1048
00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,319
Speaker 1: those names and because of the building blocks they put

1049
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:14,160
Speaker 1: in place this year. Here's a future Twitter poll, is

1050
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:16,680
Speaker 1: the is the Bill's secondary better this year? Are they

1051
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 1: going to be better this year than they were a

1052
00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 1: year ago? That's a good question. I think probably yes.

1053
00:51:20,440 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: Write that down, will right. It could be better were years.

1054
00:51:24,400 --> 00:51:26,399
Speaker 1: You have to help upfront with a little more pass rush.

1055
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: It could be better, more effective than they were a

1056
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: year ago. That's saying something. Yeah, I'm right they were.

1057
00:51:31,320 --> 00:51:33,080
Speaker 1: They were as good as any secondary in the league

1058
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,000
Speaker 1: last year. Getting turnover they had a straight that first

1059
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:37,520
Speaker 1: half of the season was mind boggling. How many turnovers

1060
00:51:37,520 --> 00:51:40,040
Speaker 1: they got interception after interception. You remember a couple of

1061
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:41,839
Speaker 1: games where it was kind of in down and all

1062
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: of a sudden, a late interception, that's over. That happened

1063
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:53,120
Speaker 1: like three times Atlanta, the Raiders game and the Jet

1064
00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: game right on opening day or was it Miami on

1065

1117
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,080
Speaker 1: World Cup coming to the US. You know, who would

1118
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:49,319
Speaker 1: have thought that Canada and the US and Mexico could

1119
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,680
Speaker 1: act like they like each other so much. Who up

1120
00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:55,160
Speaker 1: until the first week a Canada was cool? All right

1121
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:59,479
Speaker 1: last weekend? Are you into the World Cup? You're gonna

1122
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,160
Speaker 1: watch this bottle this in the next week or two

1123
00:55:01,160 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: of this year's World Cup? Are you going to be

1124
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:05,120
Speaker 1: into that without the US in it? Really, you're like that?

1125
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 1: I hope I am like that, not without our guys

1126
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 1: in it, So I have no interest. I mean, I

1127
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:14,000
Speaker 1: want listen when the US is in it. When the

1128
00:55:14,080 --> 00:55:16,719
Speaker 1: US men's national team or the US women's national team

1129
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 1: is on and they're playing another country, I am all

1130
00:55:19,080 --> 00:55:21,879
Speaker 1: about it. I watch it, and I'm cheering for him too.

1131
00:55:22,360 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: But I'm not cheering for Tunisia against England. You know,

1132
00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm Tunisia even in it. Yes they are. I'm not.

1133
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:35,359
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna watch you know, Russia play you know, Kazakhstan.

1134
00:55:35,440 --> 00:55:36,960
Speaker 1: Who cares? I mean, I don't care about that. I

1135
00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,160
Speaker 1: want to see the US men's national team or the

1136
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:43,600
Speaker 1: US women's national team and we couldn't even get in it. Well, yeah,

1137
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,200
Speaker 1: that's the embarrassment of the World Cup right there. Now,

1138
00:55:46,480 --> 00:55:48,279
Speaker 1: We'll probably I hope we can get in if we do,

1139
00:55:48,280 --> 00:55:50,600
Speaker 1: we get an automatic bid if we host it. I don't.

1140
00:55:50,640 --> 00:55:53,200
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know why. I know nothing about soccer.

1141
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,600
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna research that. We'll get We'll get

1142
00:55:56,160 --> 00:55:58,640
Speaker 1: our crack research staff and our interns on that to

1143
00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,360
Speaker 1: find out if the host well, if the host country

1144
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: gets an automatic bid, does that mean Canada, the US

1145
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:07,040
Speaker 1: and Mexico I'll get automatic bids. These are good, These

1146
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,680
Speaker 1: are huge questions. You do a little work on this

1147
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:12,840
Speaker 1: on your vacation, your extended vacation. I don't want to

1148
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: know that. I don't either. Our Twitter poll today is

1149
00:56:16,719 --> 00:56:18,560
Speaker 1: a pretty good one. Steve came up with it. It's

1150
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 1: a three way split right now, Which bills free agent

1151
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: acquisition on defense? Is it exactly three? Are you most

1152
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:27,359
Speaker 1: excited to watch this season? It's just about thirty three

1153
00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,239
Speaker 1: percent of you say Starlow two Lalay, thirty three percent

1154
00:56:30,320 --> 00:56:33,160
Speaker 1: of you say Vonte Davis, thirty two percent of you

1155
00:56:33,200 --> 00:56:36,000
Speaker 1: say Trent Murphy two percent have somebody else in mind

1156
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,520
Speaker 1: love to talk to you about it? Which free agent

1157
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:40,440
Speaker 1: acquisition on defense? I am most excited to see to

1158
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:43,120
Speaker 1: watch this season? Not necessarily who's going to be the

1159
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:45,319
Speaker 1: best but who you are really looking forward to seeing

1160
00:56:45,360 --> 00:56:47,439
Speaker 1: give us a call eight oh three five fifty toll

1161
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:51,839
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty. We don't ever

1162
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:54,200
Speaker 1: we sometimes you never take the time to vote. Do

1163
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:57,719
Speaker 1: you have a favorite of those three? Um, I'm gonna

1164
00:56:57,760 --> 00:56:59,880
Speaker 1: vote Trent Murphy. First of all, I want to make

1165
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 1: sure that he's healthy. I look forward to seeing him

1166
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:04,239
Speaker 1: healthy and playing, and you know he's right there thirty

1167
00:57:04,239 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 1: two per Secondly, he has a chance to maybe I

1168
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:11,279
Speaker 1: want to say, change the dynamic of the defense with

1169
00:57:11,320 --> 00:57:13,880
Speaker 1: his pass rush ability, you know, provide an alternate to

1170
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:17,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes for getting consistent and consistent is critical here,

1171
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,640
Speaker 1: consistent pass rush pressent around opposing quarterbacks. I would say

1172
00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy is to me the most the most potential

1173
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,400
Speaker 1: to make a dynamic difference in this defense. I know

1174
00:57:27,440 --> 00:57:30,040
Speaker 1: Starlotola is going to be good. The stuff he does

1175
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 1: will probably be h I don't want to say, unnoticed,

1176
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 1: but not spectacular. I think Vante Davis has a chance

1177
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:38,040
Speaker 1: to be an upgrade, probably is an upgrade at the

1178
00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:41,760
Speaker 1: other corner opposite Tredavious White and playing as he is

1179
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:44,240
Speaker 1: on his one year contract. I think he's gonna he's

1180
00:57:44,280 --> 00:57:46,880
Speaker 1: gonna be motivated and will probably play well. But for me,

1181
00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: it's Trent Murphy the guy I'm most excited to see

1182
00:57:49,080 --> 00:57:51,440
Speaker 1: this year. What about you, I agree completely. I mean,

1183
00:57:51,480 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: I I that's the guy you'd kind of like to

1184
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 1: see make the splash. I mean, Vonte Davis, you think, well,

1185
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 1: the secondary was really good last year, and even if

1186
00:57:57,800 --> 00:57:59,720
Speaker 1: he if it's an even if it's a push or

1187
00:57:59,720 --> 00:58:01,840
Speaker 1: even he's better, it's gonna it's gonna look a lot

1188
00:58:01,880 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: like it did last year. Start last year, Star Lotulele,

1189
00:58:05,280 --> 00:58:06,800
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I mean, he's gonna be a guy

1190
00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:09,640
Speaker 1: that he could dominate. But you know, it's you know,

1191
00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: it's not really sexy to watch, you know. I mean,

1192
00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be soaking up guards and centers and letting

1193
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:18,640
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds and the linebackers or whoever else rushed the passer.

1194
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,880
Speaker 1: But Trent Murphy is the guy that I would love

1195
00:58:21,920 --> 00:58:24,120
Speaker 1: to see make a big difference in what they did

1196
00:58:24,200 --> 00:58:26,680
Speaker 1: last year. They just struggled to rush the passer. They

1197
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,960
Speaker 1: didn't do it consistently, and they need a guy. And

1198
00:58:29,400 --> 00:58:31,920
Speaker 1: with the stuff we've been hearing, Chris Brown at the

1199
00:58:31,920 --> 00:58:33,480
Speaker 1: top of our show was out at practice the day

1200
00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: saying how unbelievable Shack Lawson looked yesterday rushing the passer.

1201
00:58:37,680 --> 00:58:40,680
Speaker 1: He's changed his body type. He's really worked hard to

1202
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 1: come back and make a splash this year as a

1203
00:58:42,360 --> 00:58:44,320
Speaker 1: four three defensive end, and he put him out there,

1204
00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:47,760
Speaker 1: Shack Lawson with Jerry Hughes and Trent Murphy all of

1205
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 1: a sudden, it's a very very different dynamic on the

1206
00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: field up in the front seven than it was last year.

1207
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,600
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, I'd love to see it be

1208
00:58:56,720 --> 00:59:00,360
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. And even though we're sitting there, we're having

1209
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 1: a short conversation now, everybody's voting for Starlow tu Lelay.

1210
00:59:03,920 --> 00:59:06,560
Speaker 1: He's thirty four percent, Vante Davis thirty three and Trent

1211
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: Murphy's down to thirty one. Our votes go Negg. It's

1212
00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:11,880
Speaker 1: a horse race, it is. It's great. We got some

1213
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: good responses to people that have written in on Twitter

1214
00:59:14,160 --> 00:59:16,800
Speaker 1: as well, Mafia Man tweets and most excited to see

1215
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:20,320
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy with a great backfield, the forest supposing quarterbacks

1216
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,760
Speaker 1: to hold onto the ball longer, and with Jerry Hughes

1217
00:59:22,800 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 1: getting attention up front, Trent could be the piece we

1218
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,880
Speaker 1: missed last year. Yeah, I like that. It's true. Yeah,

1219
00:59:27,920 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: there's some really good responses. You can tell people are

1220
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:34,320
Speaker 1: really engaged with what's going on and they understand where

1221
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,840
Speaker 1: they were last year, the strides they made this year

1222
00:59:37,600 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: and what it could mean. And I think the interesting

1223
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: thing about this whole offseason for me mur the more

1224
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 1: I think about it, it's going to be a completely

1225
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 1: different looking football team. Remember last year, they came out,

1226
00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,640
Speaker 1: they struggled to store points, they never turned it over,

1227
00:59:52,760 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 1: the defense would get turnovers, they'd run the ball really well,

1228
00:59:56,880 --> 00:59:59,040
Speaker 1: and they'd win these close games. And the only game

1229
00:59:59,080 --> 01:00:01,320
Speaker 1: that really was suspect tacul or comeback was the Tampa

1230
01:00:01,400 --> 01:00:03,280
Speaker 1: Bay game where they were down ten points with two

1231
01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,040
Speaker 1: minutes to go. They scored the touchdown, got a, got

1232
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:11,200
Speaker 1: an a, fumbled a turnover and went in and got

1233
01:00:11,280 --> 01:00:13,280
Speaker 1: the touchdown or the field goal to win it or

1234
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly how it worked, but they got

1235
01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:17,160
Speaker 1: came back late and won the Tampa Bay game. Other

1236
01:00:17,240 --> 01:00:18,960
Speaker 1: than that, it was just kind of a grind all

1237
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:24,200
Speaker 1: season offensively. The thing that makes this team so intriguing

1238
01:00:24,280 --> 01:00:26,160
Speaker 1: to me this last offseason, the way they've done it,

1239
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: it's gonna look completely different. Their offense is gonna be

1240
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: completely different. Their defense is gonna be different because the

1241
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,560
Speaker 1: front seven has been totally reworked. Their secondary looks to

1242
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,240
Speaker 1: be as strong as it was a year ago. Which

1243
01:00:37,720 --> 01:00:39,840
Speaker 1: last year, remember how surprised we were that it was

1244
01:00:40,120 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 1: a quarter plays. It was a huge question mark, didn't

1245
01:00:42,320 --> 01:00:45,120
Speaker 1: they And you forget sometimes when all these teams go

1246
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: into the season with question marks, well sometimes the answers

1247
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:51,600
Speaker 1: of those questions are emphatic. Yeah, And that's what happened

1248
01:00:51,600 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 1: to the Bills secondary last year. There was a big

1249
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 1: question mark. Four four completely new faces in the secondary,

1250
01:00:56,880 --> 01:01:00,360
Speaker 1: and it was like, oh man, we're really good these guys. Yeah,

1251
01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 1: and that was a huge surprise. So this year it's

1252
01:01:03,280 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 1: not going to be a surprise, but both on the

1253
01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:09,439
Speaker 1: offense and the defensive side of the ball, they're gonna

1254
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: look different. Yeah. I always get excited mini camp Jack tweets,

1255
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:15,760
Speaker 1: and I am most excited to see Trent Murphy. Love

1256
01:01:15,920 --> 01:01:19,240
Speaker 1: is no nonsense, blue collar approach. If he gets healthy,

1257
01:01:19,320 --> 01:01:21,480
Speaker 1: he could provide a boon to the pass rush and

1258
01:01:21,600 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: help free up to Jerry Use. Sacks are money plays.

1259
01:01:24,960 --> 01:01:28,040
Speaker 1: He says in capitals that said Starr may mean the

1260
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:30,960
Speaker 1: most of the defense. Who got which got gashed on

1261
01:01:31,040 --> 01:01:33,560
Speaker 1: the ground last year? A lot of people saying Trent Murphy,

1262
01:01:33,600 --> 01:01:36,040
Speaker 1: But Darryl F twenty nine says, I picked star Lotulae.

1263
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: Even though it's hard to get excited about a guy

1264
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 1: whose primary job is to eat up blockers. I'm looking

1265
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 1: forward to seeing how opposing team scheme for him and

1266
01:01:43,320 --> 01:01:45,560
Speaker 1: what his presence does for the rest of the defense,

1267
01:01:46,120 --> 01:01:48,280
Speaker 1: especially the guys up front. I love you get this,

1268
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,680
Speaker 1: You get these tweets, and everybody kind of sprinkles in stuff.

1269
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: You know, you can kind of relate to what they're saying.

1270
01:01:52,680 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Tiffany Daniels puts in, I can see Trent Murphy bringing

1271
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: some production and excitement to a pass rush in need

1272
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: of some pressure. Opposite R Hughes, he feels like a

1273
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,280
Speaker 1: Buffalo guy. I can see him being a fan favorite

1274
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:08,320
Speaker 1: while taking down opposing quarterbacks, especially the guy up in

1275
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:12,080
Speaker 1: New England. And that's you know. But I don't think

1276
01:02:12,080 --> 01:02:14,840
Speaker 1: they get tweets like, hey, he's a Buffalo guy in

1277
01:02:14,960 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 1: New York. You know, I don't get he's a New

1278
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 1: York guy. I don't think you get that in New York.

1279
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: I don't think you get a guy like him. He's

1280
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 1: a patriot guy. I don't think you get guys like

1281
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 1: because those guys are interchangeable. I'd be curious what people

1282
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 1: mean what Tiffany Daniels means when she says that seems

1283
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,800
Speaker 1: he feels like a buffalo guy. Well, you think about

1284
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: it's the same thing they get about up above when

1285
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,680
Speaker 1: Minicamp Jack say he's a no nonsense, blue, blue collar approach.

1286
01:02:37,440 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 1: You know, I think that's what he comes up. We

1287
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,080
Speaker 1: had him on the show and maybe we have to

1288
01:02:41,120 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: go back in the archives, and if you can't go back,

1289
01:02:43,880 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: go back and listen to the interview we had with

1290
01:02:46,600 --> 01:02:49,680
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy. And I told you this man he is.

1291
01:02:51,840 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 1: He is a big scary dude. I mean he is

1292
01:02:54,920 --> 01:02:56,520
Speaker 1: a serious guy. He has a good sense of humor.

1293
01:02:56,560 --> 01:02:58,200
Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong, but man, you can just see

1294
01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:03,280
Speaker 1: that light switch going off. And he's big, tall, lumberjack,

1295
01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 1: big beard. Lives in a garage one because he wants

1296
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:08,600
Speaker 1: to work out with us, you know, I mean that's

1297
01:03:09,360 --> 01:03:13,960
Speaker 1: he is. He's a stone cold killer man. He is unbelievable.

1298
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 1: He really has that. He just looks like he's menacing,

1299
01:03:19,760 --> 01:03:22,440
Speaker 1: you know, sweetheart of a guy. When he's sitting here,

1300
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 1: but you can tell a guy who just is built

1301
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 1: to rush the pastor he's big, tall, rangy. He's not

1302
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,680
Speaker 1: a very heavy looking guy. But a lot of fun

1303
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,680
Speaker 1: to talk to him. If i'd encourage your listeners if

1304
01:03:34,720 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: he can't, go back in the archives and pick up

1305
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:38,560
Speaker 1: that that interview we did with Trent Murphy when he

1306
01:03:38,600 --> 01:03:41,320
Speaker 1: first got here about the environment he likes to surround

1307
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:44,240
Speaker 1: himself in where he came from his dad and the

1308
01:03:44,280 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: way they worked out when he was a kid. He

1309
01:03:46,080 --> 01:03:48,280
Speaker 1: has a brother the same thing. It's pretty cool to

1310
01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:50,320
Speaker 1: listen to. And that's why I think when people say, hey,

1311
01:03:50,320 --> 01:03:55,120
Speaker 1: he's a buffalo guy, Yeah, I mean I have to agree.

1312
01:03:55,760 --> 01:03:59,200
Speaker 1: Needs to be a healthy guy. He Again, to me,

1313
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: that's the biggest watching about him. I think he has

1314
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,400
Speaker 1: a lot to contribute here, and I think they need

1315
01:04:03,480 --> 01:04:06,360
Speaker 1: what he can contribute. But first and foremost, he's got

1316
01:04:06,440 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 1: to get on the field. He's not in team drills

1317
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 1: this week. Now, we're six weeks away from training camp

1318
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:14,160
Speaker 1: and months away from any meaningful football but at some

1319
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:16,440
Speaker 1: point he needs to get on the field and practice

1320
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: on a regular basis. Yeah, I get that, And for

1321
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 1: me though, I mean I'm because I've seen it happen

1322
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: and been through a couple of where you come back

1323
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:27,760
Speaker 1: you're coming off and proved significant injury. Particularly when you

1324
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:29,440
Speaker 1: sit down and talk with the guy about what he's

1325
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 1: going through in the kind of mindset he's got and

1326
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,240
Speaker 1: where he's been, where he's head and where his plans are.

1327
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:36,479
Speaker 1: That doesn't scare me like it does I think people

1328
01:04:36,480 --> 01:04:38,280
Speaker 1: who haven't been through it. I've seen a lot of

1329
01:04:38,360 --> 01:04:42,440
Speaker 1: guys like Trent Murphy come back from catastrophic injuries, is

1330
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,600
Speaker 1: devastating injuries and come back and play as good, if

1331
01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:50,280
Speaker 1: not better, because they become dedicated not just in their

1332
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 1: physical abilities, but also in their dedications to their preparation,

1333
01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: in their dedication to their study, to their film work

1334
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,440
Speaker 1: and their scouting reports and all of that's the extra

1335
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,640
Speaker 1: stuff that and nobody ever sees. They become back more

1336
01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:04,400
Speaker 1: dedicated to all of that as well, and that makes

1337
01:05:04,480 --> 01:05:07,680
Speaker 1: them better in so many other ways. So I've that stuff.

1338
01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:10,160
Speaker 1: The injuries never really scared me unless it becomes another

1339
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:12,600
Speaker 1: injury and another engine, another engine, another injury, then then

1340
01:05:12,680 --> 01:05:14,840
Speaker 1: it's an issue. But for a guy like Trent Murphy,

1341
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: this being really the first time we've seen him getting

1342
01:05:17,240 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: nicked up in his career. I'm not as concerned to

1343
01:05:19,880 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: that as maybe other people are. What do you think

1344
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:24,000
Speaker 1: which defensive free agent the Bills have signed are you

1345
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:26,360
Speaker 1: most excited to see? Give us a call, we'll talk

1346
01:05:26,360 --> 01:05:28,880
Speaker 1: about it. Eight three five fifty toll free one eight

1347
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 1: eight eight by fifty two five fifty. When we started

1348
01:05:32,240 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 1: talking about this legendary Twitter poll, we talked about which

1349
01:05:35,760 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: news we talked about. Maybe the question is which newcomer

1350
01:05:38,560 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: to the defense most excited to see him? We said, boom,

1351
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:43,640
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Tremaine Edmonds. Right, that pole would be

1352
01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:46,400
Speaker 1: ninety five percent Tremaine Edmonds. We're all excited about him.

1353
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 1: He's coming in here by the way after practice to

1354
01:05:48,280 --> 01:05:50,720
Speaker 1: day shortly after two o'clock. We'll get first round raft

1355
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:53,160
Speaker 1: pick forremain Edmonds in studio with us. Right, we're getting

1356
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:57,840
Speaker 1: the real answer to the pole. Yeah, on the show. Right.

1357
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: But that's all right, that's how we do the Twitter pole.

1358
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,160
Speaker 1: We discussed um great little tweak to the Twitter pole.

1359
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:06,040
Speaker 1: It was going to be a landslide. Now it's a

1360
01:06:06,160 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 1: horse race. It's a horse race. And somebody said, our

1361
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:11,560
Speaker 1: process of discussing the Twitter poll, would they say it's

1362
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: entertaining or it's a I don't know if that's putting

1363
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: it mildly, I don't know. Yeah, the tension was palpable

1364
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 1: between us and our Twitter pans. Well, I mean it's competition.

1365
01:06:23,600 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 1: We want to have the best Twitter poll. That's right, right,

1366
01:06:25,960 --> 01:06:28,320
Speaker 1: who's got it? Who's got the best question? Well, that's

1367
01:06:28,440 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: one of the reasons why I'm going to miss you

1368
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 1: the next week or two. See. Yeah, no more Twitter

1369
01:06:31,840 --> 01:06:35,360
Speaker 1: pole competition. The other first round draft pick, Josh Allen.

1370
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about him over the last few days. Uh,

1371
01:06:37,800 --> 01:06:40,840
Speaker 1: Shady McCoy talked about him yesterday. Lashan McCoy meeting with

1372
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:44,360
Speaker 1: the media after yesterday's workout, he was asked if he's

1373
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:46,440
Speaker 1: had a chance to look at Josh Allen throw the

1374
01:06:46,480 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 1: football and what does he think? What did he what

1375
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:49,960
Speaker 1: does he think of his arm strength? What does he

1376
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: think of the first round draft pick quarterback? Here's what

1377
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 1: Shady had to say about Josh Allen out of the

1378
01:06:56,000 --> 01:06:59,280
Speaker 1: honest he's a he's pretty good and I'm not a

1379
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: big fan of keys. Probably my best rookie I thing

1380
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:08,560
Speaker 1: I liked in my career has probably been Trey Trade.

1381
01:07:08,600 --> 01:07:11,000
Speaker 1: Is really good, right, And a lot of guys as rookies,

1382
01:07:11,400 --> 01:07:17,360
Speaker 1: they're not like him. Not Trade yeah, Trade White yeah yeah.

1383
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: And quarterback is on that level. He's good, he's smart.

1384
01:07:21,400 --> 01:07:23,720
Speaker 1: He has to learn. Of course, he throws some passes

1385
01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 1: that probably shouldn't have been thrown. But other than that

1386
01:07:26,200 --> 01:07:29,960
Speaker 1: is strong arm. He's very intelligent. He's too smart. I

1387
01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,400
Speaker 1: tell him. Sometimes we have conversations. Hey made easy. This

1388
01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:34,560
Speaker 1: is not like an exam. Just talk to me. You

1389
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:38,120
Speaker 1: can say yo, you could say what's up. But as

1390
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: a talent level, now, he's gonna be really good for

1391
01:07:40,400 --> 01:07:41,440
Speaker 1: a lot of years, and I want to be a

1392
01:07:41,480 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: part of that when he takes over eventually. I mean

1393
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 1: took him early in the draft. So that's just common sense.

1394
01:07:46,960 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: But my special that's that's for sure. Do you think

1395
01:07:51,880 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 1: the only thing is some dudes like that they start

1396
01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,800
Speaker 1: get carried away. Now we gotta give Shade the ball

1397
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:59,560
Speaker 1: twenty five times and then you could, you know, throw

1398
01:07:59,560 --> 01:08:02,720
Speaker 1: it here in what you've seen early from Josh, what

1399
01:08:02,960 --> 01:08:05,320
Speaker 1: could he bring? What different dynamics could he bring to

1400
01:08:05,440 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 1: this offense? Well, it's still early. I don't want to

1401
01:08:08,760 --> 01:08:12,000
Speaker 1: make him Jim Kelly already, but he has to learn

1402
01:08:12,120 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: different things. I mean, he's a rookies and the quarterback

1403
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,960
Speaker 1: is such an important role. He's like a coach on

1404
01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,639
Speaker 1: the field as far as making the right reads, being confident.

1405
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he has so much just to learn from

1406
01:08:23,720 --> 01:08:26,760
Speaker 1: his position to the wide receivers and a lineman protections.

1407
01:08:27,240 --> 01:08:29,599
Speaker 1: So he has a lot on his plate. But other

1408
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:33,240
Speaker 1: than that, it's a talent wise and intelligence. I mean,

1409
01:08:33,280 --> 01:08:35,160
Speaker 1: he has it to be a starting quarterback and also

1410
01:08:35,160 --> 01:08:38,120
Speaker 1: a franchise quarterback. I mean, he's impressive. You see him,

1411
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 1: he's confident. One of the practice he threw a pick,

1412
01:08:41,320 --> 01:08:43,000
Speaker 1: he came back. It's like a two minute drill, came

1413
01:08:43,040 --> 01:08:45,599
Speaker 1: down to scort. He does things like put the ball

1414
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: in the right places, um jump balls, back shoulders, all

1415
01:08:49,680 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: the things that you have to like kind of remind

1416
01:08:52,360 --> 01:08:55,080
Speaker 1: emphasize to a player. He's kind of has it, you know.

1417
01:08:55,160 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure anything about Wyoming what they taught

1418
01:08:59,479 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 1: him there, or or the players he's around, but give

1419
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:04,120
Speaker 1: him players as an NFL level, give him gone a

1420
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 1: backfield like me, didn't work matchups. You know, it's it

1421
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:11,040
Speaker 1: makes a lot easier for him. And now you'll see, yeah,

1422
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:12,800
Speaker 1: he's pretty good. You'll see in a couple of years

1423
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: or this year, next year, have a big, big up career.

1424
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,439
Speaker 1: Sean McCoy on his new teammate, Josh Allen the quarterback.

1425
01:09:20,479 --> 01:09:22,120
Speaker 1: A couple of things through Steve that I thought it

1426
01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 1: was interesting, uh, Shady said, Um one of the practices

1427
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,320
Speaker 1: through a pick, came back, two minute drill, came down

1428
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:30,200
Speaker 1: and score. But this part, and I've noticed this two

1429
01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:33,640
Speaker 1: watching Josh Allen, Shady says, he does things like he

1430
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:36,280
Speaker 1: puts the ball in the right places, jump balls, back shoulders,

1431
01:09:36,600 --> 01:09:38,559
Speaker 1: all the things that you have to remind and emphasized

1432
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:41,840
Speaker 1: to a player. I've said to you he can make

1433
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:44,480
Speaker 1: all the throws. If you watch some of the OTAs

1434
01:09:44,520 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 1: and the mini camp, he can make I mean, it's

1435
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: a cliche people say it around before the draft, what

1436
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:52,680
Speaker 1: the quarterback can make all the throws? Which job with

1437
01:09:52,880 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? You see it. He can make any through

1438
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:57,680
Speaker 1: you want. Now, can he do it consistently? Can he

1439
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,800
Speaker 1: do it on time on a regular basis? That has

1440
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,479
Speaker 1: to he worked out, But Shady's noticed it. I noticed

1441
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 1: it a week or two ago. The guys, he's got

1442
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 1: the full package that you want at quarterback. Yeah, he

1443
01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: always seems to exceed expectations. I mean, everybody has expectations

1444
01:10:11,400 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: about a guy coming in and for a number seven

1445
01:10:14,280 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: overall pick at that position, the expectations are pretty high.

1446
01:10:18,040 --> 01:10:21,400
Speaker 1: But when he can still come in and exceed them

1447
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,960
Speaker 1: in the early stages of his career, that's no question,

1448
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,680
Speaker 1: that's exactly where you want to be. He want the

1449
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:28,840
Speaker 1: guy to do things a little better than he thought

1450
01:10:28,840 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 1: he'd be able to. He always want to see a

1451
01:10:30,920 --> 01:10:33,280
Speaker 1: guy who does it a little bit faster, a little

1452
01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 1: bit better, makes a little few fewer mistakes, or overcomes

1453
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:40,479
Speaker 1: mistakes better, or sees things, communicates better, just surprises you

1454
01:10:40,560 --> 01:10:42,960
Speaker 1: at every level. And I think Josh Allen has checked

1455
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:45,120
Speaker 1: off all of those boxes. But it's like the same

1456
01:10:45,160 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: old thing. I mean, now, everybody looks good till you

1457
01:10:47,000 --> 01:10:49,920
Speaker 1: get hit in the mouth, you know. But and he's

1458
01:10:49,960 --> 01:10:52,040
Speaker 1: gonna get hit in the mouth and he's gonna struggle.

1459
01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: We had him on the other day and we asked him,

1460
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,640
Speaker 1: and that's he had a chance to go down and

1461
01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,360
Speaker 1: sit and talk with Bill Parcels for an entire day,

1462
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:05,280
Speaker 1: he and Sam Darnold, and he said, that's what Parcels

1463
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: told him. He says, you're gonna get hit in the mouth,

1464
01:11:07,560 --> 01:11:09,599
Speaker 1: and he goes, you're gonna get lumped up and you're

1465
01:11:09,640 --> 01:11:12,120
Speaker 1: gonna get beat thirty five to ten, and it's gonna

1466
01:11:12,120 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: be your fault. And how you handle it after that

1467
01:11:17,280 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 1: is gonna say how successful you are in this league,

1468
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,200
Speaker 1: because it happens to everybody, and you need to be

1469
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 1: able to grab those guys and make him believe in

1470
01:11:24,240 --> 01:11:26,720
Speaker 1: you again after you let him down for a week.

1471
01:11:27,080 --> 01:11:29,320
Speaker 1: He didn't play well for a week, and he seems

1472
01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:32,639
Speaker 1: ready to do that. But you're right, I think that's

1473
01:11:32,720 --> 01:11:36,559
Speaker 1: the thing at this point, to see a guy exceed

1474
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:40,120
Speaker 1: your expectations. That's a that's a really nice place to

1475
01:11:40,240 --> 01:11:43,519
Speaker 1: be because we've seen it before. And in fact, just yesterday,

1476
01:11:43,720 --> 01:11:47,960
Speaker 1: Christian Hackenburg got cut again a pick for the New

1477
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:50,880
Speaker 1: York Jets at quarterback, never saw the down a down,

1478
01:11:51,040 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 1: never saw a live play in a game for the

1479
01:11:53,360 --> 01:11:55,920
Speaker 1: Jets after being drafted by them, was cut and now

1480
01:11:56,040 --> 01:12:01,479
Speaker 1: was cut again. You know, he never expectations, not one.

1481
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:04,640
Speaker 1: I've never met expectations, and then let alone exceeded him.

1482
01:12:04,640 --> 01:12:06,599
Speaker 1: And now you've got a guy like Alan who's done

1483
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,680
Speaker 1: nothing but the reverse of that. So we'll see what

1484
01:12:08,800 --> 01:12:10,880
Speaker 1: a shady mean when he says I'm not a big

1485
01:12:10,960 --> 01:12:14,800
Speaker 1: fan of rookies, that one got me at. Yeah, I

1486
01:12:14,840 --> 01:12:16,840
Speaker 1: could see that, I could see I'd be like that. Yeah.

1487
01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,120
Speaker 1: For one thing, as a vet, it's it's I get it.

1488
01:12:21,280 --> 01:12:24,639
Speaker 1: I mean, these guys come in and they're always hoop

1489
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 1: blow against him and as if they've never even played

1490
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:29,719
Speaker 1: in the game yet, and yet they're you know, people

1491
01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 1: say things about him that they say either good things,

1492
01:12:32,400 --> 01:12:34,760
Speaker 1: and you know, it's always good stuff. It's always great,

1493
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:37,479
Speaker 1: like they're talking about Josh Allen exeeding expectations, and as

1494
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:41,680
Speaker 1: a veteran, you're sitting there going, dude, yeah, I want

1495
01:12:41,680 --> 01:12:44,400
Speaker 1: to see you do it against a player. You know,

1496
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 1: I want to see you know. This isn't this isn't

1497
01:12:46,320 --> 01:12:49,280
Speaker 1: Colorado State, you know, And uh so you kind of

1498
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: get weary of hearing how many good things that can

1499
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: be said about got these players who have never played

1500
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,160
Speaker 1: it down in the NFL, particularly as a guy like

1501
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:59,560
Speaker 1: les Sean Right, who's all pro. So it's I understand it,

1502
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 1: I guess at it, and I don't has it doesn't

1503
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:03,280
Speaker 1: have anything to do with him personally, or it doesn't

1504
01:13:03,320 --> 01:13:04,519
Speaker 1: even have to do with the fact they're young. It

1505
01:13:04,600 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 1: has to do with him having to being unproven and

1506
01:13:08,880 --> 01:13:12,000
Speaker 1: having all these nice things said about him when sometimes

1507
01:13:12,040 --> 01:13:16,000
Speaker 1: you're working hard and you're unjustly criticized. So it's it's

1508
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:20,240
Speaker 1: pretty easy to disparage a young guy. For Shandy to say,

1509
01:13:20,400 --> 01:13:22,160
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, he's pretty good. That gets

1510
01:13:22,200 --> 01:13:24,880
Speaker 1: people's attention. You know. I did a radio interview with

1511
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: radio in Boston today, Patriot station, and that was the

1512
01:13:29,200 --> 01:13:31,439
Speaker 1: first thing they asked. It was almost like whoa if

1513
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:35,639
Speaker 1: if an established outstanding NFL pro like Sean McCoy says,

1514
01:13:35,880 --> 01:13:37,479
Speaker 1: I have to be honest, he's pretty good. That gets

1515
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,519
Speaker 1: people's attention, don't you think? Yeah, because he came across

1516
01:13:40,560 --> 01:13:43,080
Speaker 1: as genuine. You know, it wasn't like he's just saying,

1517
01:13:43,160 --> 01:13:47,200
Speaker 1: oh no, he's you know. It wasn't the line right,

1518
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,960
Speaker 1: It was I gotta be honest easily, he's pretty good.

1519
01:13:50,439 --> 01:13:53,240
Speaker 1: That's and I think that gets back to exceeding expectations.

1520
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:55,800
Speaker 1: I think he has done that, and the expectations were

1521
01:13:55,840 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 1: pretty high, and to have him come in and meet

1522
01:13:58,920 --> 01:14:02,120
Speaker 1: them or exceed them in instances, I think that's that's

1523
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 1: a nice place for him to be at this early

1524
01:14:03,840 --> 01:14:08,360
Speaker 1: stage of his career. Shandy talked a lot yesterday late

1525
01:14:08,439 --> 01:14:11,320
Speaker 1: after practice, and one of the things he was asked about, mean,

1526
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:13,519
Speaker 1: this really does impact him the lot the changes up

1527
01:14:13,560 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: front on the offensive line, right, Eric would gone, Richie

1528
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: Incognito gone, a couple of new faces maybe moving in.

1529
01:14:19,840 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Shady was asked about that. How does he feel about

1530
01:14:22,400 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the offensive line? How do you feel about losing Eric

1531
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: Wood and Richie Incognito. Here's what McCoy had to say

1532
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 1: about that. Losing Richie and Eric. I'll be lying if

1533
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: I told you that didn't matter. Some people might say

1534
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:38,160
Speaker 1: that the kind of nip it in the bud and

1535
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:41,040
Speaker 1: get it out the way. But some guys are great players.

1536
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:45,559
Speaker 1: Eric is very smart, intelligent, plays hard. He's a veteran.

1537
01:14:46,080 --> 01:14:49,560
Speaker 1: He's been in different scenarios and situations, you know, So

1538
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 1: having that that leadership is big. And if we don't

1539
01:14:53,600 --> 01:14:56,800
Speaker 1: have that because he's gone, you know, then and talk

1540
01:14:56,840 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 1: about Ritchie. People can say they want about Richie, but

1541
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 1: he's one of the best blockers I've played with. He's aggressive,

1542
01:15:03,439 --> 01:15:06,479
Speaker 1: which we all know, and he's tough, you know, so

1543
01:15:06,560 --> 01:15:08,840
Speaker 1: I'll miss him. Also, a lot of my best runs

1544
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:13,240
Speaker 1: is behind him, so you calculate um four hundred yards.

1545
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: Always say, you know, behind Richie. But that's that's one thing.

1546
01:15:18,160 --> 01:15:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean. The other part of that is also guys

1547
01:15:19,880 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: got to step up. I've been in a place with

1548
01:15:22,479 --> 01:15:25,040
Speaker 1: Brian Westbrook is a heck of a player. I remember

1549
01:15:25,120 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: my first year with them and then us next year,

1550
01:15:28,560 --> 01:15:30,120
Speaker 1: like one of the big stories is what we're gonna

1551
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:32,400
Speaker 1: do without Westbrook And that kind of drove me like, Okay,

1552
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 1: you know so the same thing with these guys. It's

1553
01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,479
Speaker 1: kind of a sign of opportunity and what do you

1554
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:39,479
Speaker 1: do with it? So and we will say we got

1555
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: some good, good backups and some guys competing for starting jobs.

1556
01:15:42,960 --> 01:15:45,599
Speaker 1: And that's the NFL is all about. I mean, who

1557
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,640
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady before Tom Brady? You know, he got

1558
01:15:47,680 --> 01:15:49,160
Speaker 1: an opportunity and he made the best of it. So

1559
01:15:49,680 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 1: everybody has an opportunity. Man, he's gotta make the best

1560
01:15:51,640 --> 01:15:54,760
Speaker 1: of it. Shity McCoy talking about his offensive line the

1561
01:15:54,880 --> 01:15:56,639
Speaker 1: one thing, and again I'm going back to the interview

1562
01:15:56,640 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 1: I did this morning in Boston. They asked about losing

1563
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:02,600
Speaker 1: income and Wood and some other leaders on offense, and

1564
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:04,880
Speaker 1: what strikes me about McCoy's response there, Steve is that.

1565
01:16:05,280 --> 01:16:07,000
Speaker 1: You talked about Wood, what a good player he is,

1566
01:16:07,160 --> 01:16:09,560
Speaker 1: what a smart player he was now he's retired, but

1567
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 1: most of all shit. He talked about how much they

1568
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:13,719
Speaker 1: will miss his leadership. They asked me on the Boston

1569
01:16:13,840 --> 01:16:16,479
Speaker 1: radio station this morning, who replaces that? I don't know,

1570
01:16:16,840 --> 01:16:18,600
Speaker 1: And I don't think you can sit here today on

1571
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:21,920
Speaker 1: June thirteenth or whatever it is and say you're the

1572
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 1: leader now on offense. No right, it has to emerge.

1573
01:16:24,240 --> 01:16:27,560
Speaker 1: It's it's organic. Yeah, it's exactly right. It has You

1574
01:16:27,680 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: can't rubber stamp somebody say you're the guy. I mean,

1575
01:16:31,800 --> 01:16:35,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, listen, we live in Buffalo. You

1576
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:37,320
Speaker 1: can look at the hockey team and the same thing.

1577
01:16:37,400 --> 01:16:39,000
Speaker 1: I mean, they're looking for a guy. They can do that,

1578
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:40,920
Speaker 1: and there's no place you can do it. They got

1579
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:43,280
Speaker 1: whoever it is, got to earn it. They got to

1580
01:16:43,320 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 1: earn the respect of the guys in the room. And

1581
01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter if you're a starter even I mean,

1582
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,400
Speaker 1: it can be anybody. It can be a role player.

1583
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: But if you stand up and you say some things,

1584
01:16:52,040 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: and you do some things in your in your effort

1585
01:16:54,160 --> 01:16:57,720
Speaker 1: and your production match your words, you're gonna get a

1586
01:16:57,800 --> 01:17:00,879
Speaker 1: voice and particularly and I think this in this culture

1587
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo is healthy enough that guys have respect

1588
01:17:04,360 --> 01:17:06,479
Speaker 1: all around the room. They'll listen to guys who even

1589
01:17:06,560 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 1: who even aren't making you know, a gazillion dollars, who

1590
01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:12,360
Speaker 1: don't have long term contracts, who aren't household names. Uh,

1591
01:17:12,479 --> 01:17:14,160
Speaker 1: they will be given a voice and if they can.

1592
01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 1: If so, it doesn't it does help, no question about it.

1593
01:17:18,720 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: When it's the best person like a Lushan McCoy, When

1594
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:24,440
Speaker 1: it's your best players like a Kelvin Benjamin or whoever

1595
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 1: you want to choose to throw in that to Tremaine Edmonds,

1596
01:17:28,520 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams. You can throw those names in there. It

1597
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 1: doesn't matter what role they play. It matters the kind

1598
01:17:35,479 --> 01:17:38,280
Speaker 1: of guy they are in the locker room. And Yeah,

1599
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:42,280
Speaker 1: when you lose a quality guy who guys loved and respected,

1600
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: there's a void there you're looking for. You're listening for

1601
01:17:45,400 --> 01:17:47,600
Speaker 1: his voice, you're listening for his input. You wish you

1602
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:50,320
Speaker 1: could ask him what he thought about what's going on,

1603
01:17:51,040 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: And they're just no way you can because they're not there.

1604
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: And somebody's got to fill that void. And and like

1605
01:17:56,040 --> 01:17:57,840
Speaker 1: much like I was saying just a minute ago, this

1606
01:17:57,960 --> 01:17:59,719
Speaker 1: is going to be a completely different team on the fields.

1607
01:17:59,800 --> 01:18:01,360
Speaker 1: Can looked there. It's gonna be different than the locker

1608
01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,760
Speaker 1: room too. One more thing from Shady as he had

1609
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:05,840
Speaker 1: a lot of interesting We don't hear from Shady enough, right,

1610
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,240
Speaker 1: we don't. We don't get him on the show. We

1611
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 1: gotta we gotta work on that. We gotta get Shady

1612
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:12,679
Speaker 1: on the show. He was asked yesterday Sean McCoy about

1613
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,360
Speaker 1: his new offensive coordinator, Brian Dable. Um, it is McCoy's

1614
01:18:16,439 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: fourth offensive coordinator here in four years. Think about that,

1615
01:18:20,800 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 1: every year Shady's been here right day? Ball and Anthony Lynn.

1616
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: Anthony Lynn. Yeah, well that's four and four years. Um,

1617
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: oh gosh. Uh the guy who went to Baltimore now

1618
01:18:34,479 --> 01:18:39,800
Speaker 1: is with Baltimore four and there you go. Yeah, and

1619
01:18:39,840 --> 01:18:42,880
Speaker 1: of course last year's coordinator four and four years. Shady

1620
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,720
Speaker 1: was asked, what do you expect from Brian Dable? What

1621
01:18:44,720 --> 01:18:46,559
Speaker 1: do you expect from the Buffalo offense this year. Here's

1622
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 1: what McCoy had to say. Oh, well, he's asked success

1623
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 1: with the Patriots, he has had a lot of success

1624
01:18:52,600 --> 01:18:55,880
Speaker 1: with Alabama. Um, he's We're gonna run the ball for sure.

1625
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:58,280
Speaker 1: You'll see a lot of similarities from us and the

1626
01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:02,680
Speaker 1: Patriots's that's where he comes from, you know. And one

1627
01:19:02,680 --> 01:19:04,000
Speaker 1: of the things where he's always trying to get a

1628
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: match up. If we watch the Patriots when they play

1629
01:19:06,439 --> 01:19:08,800
Speaker 1: now you got the guys like the grunks, he's gonna

1630
01:19:08,840 --> 01:19:11,439
Speaker 1: get his offer. He's gonna make plays, but he's always

1631
01:19:11,479 --> 01:19:13,479
Speaker 1: in for the matchups. If you get a running back

1632
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: on a linebacker, we want to take it. We get

1633
01:19:15,240 --> 01:19:17,600
Speaker 1: Clay on a particular linebacker, we want to take it.

1634
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:21,040
Speaker 1: So even with ben he's a big target, you know,

1635
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:22,640
Speaker 1: and Benjamin, we want to get him the ball. So

1636
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 1: he's always trying to confuse the defense and to fine

1637
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 1: the mitchmatch and the most offenses that are successful, that's

1638
01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:31,240
Speaker 1: what they do. That's what they do. So we're gonna

1639
01:19:31,320 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 1: run the ball in different formations, keep guys off balance,

1640
01:19:34,800 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 1: be on an attack, and that's more just high temple offense.

1641
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,840
Speaker 1: You know, We're gonna be similar. So we'll see. I'm

1642
01:19:42,840 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 1: excited to be here. I'll tell you that at first

1643
01:19:44,880 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 1: the offense was like, oh I was. It was crazy.

1644
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:48,920
Speaker 1: It's a lot of plays, you know, but a lot

1645
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 1: of studying, you know, for a great calls and a

1646
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,880
Speaker 1: great outcome. Shanny McCoy and Brian Dable allays are can

1647
01:19:57,960 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: to get a match up. I mean they all do,

1648
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:01,040
Speaker 1: but I do. I think that is going to be

1649
01:20:01,200 --> 01:20:03,320
Speaker 1: maybe the main focus right And it looks sounds like

1650
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: we don't know what the offense is yet, but it

1651
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,280
Speaker 1: sounds like Gable, we'll try to get a matchup and

1652
01:20:07,400 --> 01:20:10,320
Speaker 1: we'll switch personnel and switch pace in order to do that.

1653
01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 1: I think that might be maybe the fundamentals of what

1654
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,120
Speaker 1: he wants. I think that puts a lot on the

1655
01:20:14,200 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 1: play to the quarterback when he sees it, because because

1656
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,000
Speaker 1: when you get to the line, you don't know what

1657
01:20:18,080 --> 01:20:19,640
Speaker 1: you're gonna get into defense when you look and you

1658
01:20:19,760 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 1: kind of figured out you got to look at the defense.

1659
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,360
Speaker 1: You got to anticipate what they're gonna do pre snap,

1660
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,639
Speaker 1: knowing that they're probably going to disguise, and then you've

1661
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: got to try and find the matchup you want to

1662
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 1: get and either change the play or call the play

1663
01:20:32,040 --> 01:20:35,120
Speaker 1: or you know, you got to get to it, make

1664
01:20:35,400 --> 01:20:38,360
Speaker 1: with motion, with change and protection and that kind of

1665
01:20:38,400 --> 01:20:40,600
Speaker 1: thing to get the matchup you want. And you have

1666
01:20:40,720 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: to do it really before the snap. And that's that's

1667
01:20:44,439 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: a lot on an offense, and not only does a

1668
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:48,080
Speaker 1: quarterback have to see it to make the changes and

1669
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:50,240
Speaker 1: all that, the other everybody else to all the skill

1670
01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: positions in the offense, the line have to see it

1671
01:20:51,720 --> 01:20:54,760
Speaker 1: as well. So it does seem complicated first, but that's

1672
01:20:55,080 --> 01:20:56,439
Speaker 1: that's the level that you have to be at to

1673
01:20:56,479 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: win championships, and I think that's the that's the goal

1674
01:20:58,479 --> 01:21:01,240
Speaker 1: obviously some of the comments from on Shady McCoy yesterday

1675
01:21:01,240 --> 01:21:03,280
Speaker 1: at practice. We've got more to talk about when we

1697
01:22:12,560 --> 01:22:15,599
Speaker 1: local broadcaster ever received the Pete Roselle Award. You probably

1698
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:18,080
Speaker 1: Andrea Kramer was around the Super Bowl Bills a lot

01:22:18,200 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 1: back then for years. Man, right, she covered you guys

1700
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:24,160
Speaker 1: pretty extensive. Yeah. Yeah, but you know, she talked to

1701
01:22:24,400 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in defense. Oh she's running backs. She talked, they're

1702
01:22:27,520 --> 01:22:30,040
Speaker 1: really good players. She did not get your suppostiondn't get down.

1703
01:22:30,200 --> 01:22:32,280
Speaker 1: She didn't get down the list far enough to get

1704
01:22:32,320 --> 01:22:34,200
Speaker 1: talk to me. You got a couple of tweets you

1705
01:22:34,240 --> 01:22:36,320
Speaker 1: want to address. Yeah, you know, we were talking about

1706
01:22:36,400 --> 01:22:38,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and how Shady had said, hey, he's not

1707
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:40,840
Speaker 1: really a fan of rookies, but this guy looks good.

1708
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:44,080
Speaker 1: And we talked about how Josh Allen exceeded expectations or

1709
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:47,040
Speaker 1: has exceeded expectations up to this point, and we spoke

1710
01:22:47,080 --> 01:22:49,120
Speaker 1: about two that when he went down and visited Bill

1711
01:22:49,200 --> 01:22:52,400
Speaker 1: Parcels and his listen, it's like, oh, Mike Tyson saying,

1712
01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 1: everybody's got a plan until they get hitting the mouth,

1713
01:22:54,840 --> 01:22:56,680
Speaker 1: and Josh Allen hasn't been hitting the mouth yet, and

1714
01:22:56,760 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: he's gonna look bad at some point during his first

1715
01:22:59,200 --> 01:23:01,120
Speaker 1: part of his rear here, at some point when he

1716
01:23:01,160 --> 01:23:03,519
Speaker 1: gets in early, it's gonna be it's gonna be a

1717
01:23:03,560 --> 01:23:05,800
Speaker 1: struggle at time for him, no question. And we said,

1718
01:23:05,880 --> 01:23:09,559
Speaker 1: you know how he responds to that is gonna be critical,

1719
01:23:09,600 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 1: And we got a great, a great tweet from Bill Lutts,

1720
01:23:12,880 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: who who hit it right on that end. He goes,

1721
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:18,639
Speaker 1: doesn't Josh Allen have that very example that means example

1722
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,120
Speaker 1: of bouncing back after a failure on the roster in

1723
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:23,800
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman? Isn't he the perfect example of getting hit

1724
01:23:23,880 --> 01:23:25,439
Speaker 1: in the mouth and learning how to bounce back? And

1725
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: it wasn't Nate Peterman. Everywhere you gotta know he lives

1726
01:23:28,920 --> 01:23:32,559
Speaker 1: in He's here in Buffalo with us guys and listeners.

1727
01:23:34,000 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: Everywhere he goes he gets five interceptions thrown up in

1728
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:40,800
Speaker 1: his face that la game. I mean, right, yep. I

1729
01:23:40,880 --> 01:23:42,960
Speaker 1: mean he can't shake that until he gets on the

1730
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:44,920
Speaker 1: field and proves that he's something else. Well that's I

1731
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:47,880
Speaker 1: was gonna say, and I appreciate this tweet. But is

1732
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Peterman as he bounced back? I mean, he played the

1733
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,360
Speaker 1: Colts game, didn't get a chance to do much because

1734
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: of the weather. So he's had, he's had. He had

1735
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: a good day yesterday. But when did we say he's back,

1736
01:23:57,120 --> 01:23:58,840
Speaker 1: that he is over the five interception? I don't know

1737
01:23:59,040 --> 01:24:00,760
Speaker 1: can we say that yet? I know he intends on

1738
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:03,320
Speaker 1: doing it, He's working at it. Is he back? That's

1739
01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,320
Speaker 1: the thing public perception is Nathan Peterman. Has he bounced

1740
01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:07,840
Speaker 1: back from the five pick game? I don't know that

1741
01:24:07,920 --> 01:24:09,760
Speaker 1: he has. No, he hasn't because he hasn't a chance

1742
01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: to get on the field. And Josh Ellen because of

1743
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 1: his attitude. Okay, I mean you go, you talk to

1744
01:24:15,840 --> 01:24:18,400
Speaker 1: anybody in the building and you talk even Josh Allen

1745
01:24:18,439 --> 01:24:20,679
Speaker 1: told us he says the room is great. Nate Peterman

1746
01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,360
Speaker 1: has been great and a J mccaren same thing. Nate

1747
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: Peterman's gray. He's one of the great guys. They say

1748
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:29,720
Speaker 1: he's a walking angel. I mean right, So that kind

1749
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: of attitude after the kind of outing that Nathan Peterman

1750
01:24:33,600 --> 01:24:37,920
Speaker 1: had in San Diego to have him his teammates speak

1751
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:40,560
Speaker 1: so glowingly about him, even the guys he's working with

1752
01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:42,800
Speaker 1: and in competition with, think the world of the guy.

1753
01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:47,000
Speaker 1: That says a lot about the kind of person he

1754
01:24:47,240 --> 01:24:49,280
Speaker 1: is and how and how he's not going to let

1755
01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: that five interception game first half and you know it's

1756
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,639
Speaker 1: not going to define him for his life. Now. They're

1757
01:24:55,640 --> 01:24:58,080
Speaker 1: gonna be certain people, you know, and you know, particularly

1758
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,120
Speaker 1: on Twitter and you know, have the social media and

1759
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:02,040
Speaker 1: you know, people taking potshots at the guy for the

1760
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:03,960
Speaker 1: rest of his life for it. But you know what,

1761
01:25:04,479 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 1: those who know him are gonna know better. And I

1762
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:08,960
Speaker 1: think that says a lot about the atmosphere it isn't it,

1763
01:25:09,000 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 1: and about what Josh Allen should be able to do

1764
01:25:11,760 --> 01:25:14,439
Speaker 1: when he struggles, maybe not for a five interception half,

1765
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,120
Speaker 1: but when he doesn't play the way he kind of

1766
01:25:16,160 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 1: wants to play. You know, he was back. So that

1767
01:25:18,360 --> 01:25:21,599
Speaker 1: game was mid November and he started the Colts game,

1768
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: which was December a couple of weeks later. Right last year,

1769
01:25:25,320 --> 01:25:27,280
Speaker 1: he was back by then. I mean, you know, in

1770
01:25:27,439 --> 01:25:29,920
Speaker 1: terms of his attitude, he was. We talked to him

1771
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,960
Speaker 1: on the show here last December before the Colts game.

1772
01:25:32,000 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 1: He was I'm not gonna say he was fine with

1773
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,719
Speaker 1: a five interception game, but he was like, yeah, that happened.

1774
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 1: Now I'm ready to start again. I have to start.

1775
01:25:38,600 --> 01:25:40,720
Speaker 1: His tie rods hurt. Yeah. I think that's how who

1776
01:25:40,760 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 1: he is. And I think it's a great You're right, Uh,

1777
01:25:44,160 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 1: Orange Bills fan is right. It's a great example. I

1778
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 1: think Nathan Peterman example of a lot of good things

1779
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:51,200
Speaker 1: about this team and being a pro in the NFL.

1780
01:25:51,240 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 1: I really do. Yeah. And he's a walking angel. Yeah yeah.

1781
01:25:55,800 --> 01:25:58,320
Speaker 1: And you talk and you know, even you can appreciate

1782
01:25:58,360 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: it whenever you see it. For instance, we're going to

1783
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 1: talk about a little bit today about other guys who

1784
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:06,680
Speaker 1: bounced back, one of which is Teddy Bridgewater, who was

1785
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:10,000
Speaker 1: a guy who showed a few things in Minnesota. Was aid,

1786
01:26:10,080 --> 01:26:12,519
Speaker 1: came out of college and he was a high pick

1787
01:26:13,160 --> 01:26:18,040
Speaker 1: and then had a devastating non contact practice injury that

1788
01:26:18,280 --> 01:26:20,439
Speaker 1: left him out of football for he was on the team,

1789
01:26:20,479 --> 01:26:23,080
Speaker 1: but he wasn't playing football for like two years, and

1790
01:26:23,240 --> 01:26:26,200
Speaker 1: then to have his team be built around him and

1791
01:26:26,360 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: to have a the year that the Minnesota Vikings had

1792
01:26:29,640 --> 01:26:32,960
Speaker 1: last year while he sat there and had to watch,

1793
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:34,560
Speaker 1: and really, you know, by all rights some purpose, he

1794
01:26:34,600 --> 01:26:36,080
Speaker 1: could have said, man, that should have been my team

1795
01:26:36,160 --> 01:26:38,120
Speaker 1: by this time, and it should have been me, and

1796
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 1: he didn't get a chance to do it. And now

1797
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:44,720
Speaker 1: in New York, by all accounts, he has been the

1798
01:26:44,800 --> 01:26:48,200
Speaker 1: best performing quarterback the King one. I mean, look, come on,

1799
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: we're taking snapschots here just as we say we're doing.

1800
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:54,000
Speaker 1: Dave won of mini camp. Teddy Bridgewater had a good

1801
01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:56,160
Speaker 1: day and that's good, good for him, But I think

1802
01:26:56,200 --> 01:26:58,880
Speaker 1: it comes down to the fact that he's exceeding expectations. Yeah,

1803
01:26:59,120 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: you know, it's just like we talk about with its

1804
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:04,440
Speaker 1: the theme of the day. For these quarterbacks, they exceed expectations.

1805
01:27:04,680 --> 01:27:07,639
Speaker 1: I know, Josh, nobody's expecting Josh McCown to come out

1806
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:11,360
Speaker 1: and play anything differently than he's played for fifteen seventeen years,

1807
01:27:11,360 --> 01:27:13,840
Speaker 1: how long he's been out there. But Teddy Bridgewater, there's

1808
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:15,800
Speaker 1: some questions and to have him come out and play well.

1809
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:18,080
Speaker 1: You know, there's so many people that are pulling for

1810
01:27:18,240 --> 01:27:20,720
Speaker 1: him and just because of the way his career, the

1811
01:27:20,800 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 1: path at his career took because of that knee injury.

1812
01:27:24,600 --> 01:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Really cool to see a guy bounced back after that

1813
01:27:27,200 --> 01:27:28,720
Speaker 1: and then to go through it. And it's it's a

1814
01:27:28,720 --> 01:27:30,880
Speaker 1: little bit like the Trent Green thing years and years ago,

1815
01:27:30,960 --> 01:27:33,840
Speaker 1: and when Kurt Warner and burst out of the scene.

1816
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 1: Trent Green was going to be the quarterback of the

1817
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs or no, the Saint Louis Rams and

1818
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:44,519
Speaker 1: the last preseason game, gets his knee injured. Kurt Warner

1819
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: steps in and they go to and win the Super

1820
01:27:46,439 --> 01:27:48,719
Speaker 1: Bowl and Kurt warners the MVP and Trent Green standing

1821
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,320
Speaker 1: there going I thought it was gonna be me. Yeah,

1822
01:27:51,800 --> 01:27:53,679
Speaker 1: that was gonna be me. And that's what Teddy Bridgewater

1823
01:27:53,760 --> 01:27:57,240
Speaker 1: went through last year when he saw case Keenum resurrect

1824
01:27:57,360 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: his career and take that team to the Super Bowl.

1825
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:03,240
Speaker 1: So it's I think everybody, no matter what team they

1826
01:28:03,280 --> 01:28:04,640
Speaker 1: see the guy play for. It doesn't have to be

1827
01:28:04,720 --> 01:28:06,840
Speaker 1: your team, of Bill's team, or whatever team you have

1828
01:28:06,960 --> 01:28:08,040
Speaker 1: to root for. It doesn't have to be a guy

1829
01:28:08,080 --> 01:28:09,880
Speaker 1: on your team, but you can certainly appreciate a guy

1830
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:13,720
Speaker 1: like Teddy Bridgewater bouncing back and having a chance to

1831
01:28:14,240 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 1: play football again. Even speaking of quarterbacks, Jets quarterbacks Christian Hackenberg,

1832
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 1: who's done nothing really, but he was let go by

1833
01:28:23,400 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 1: the Raiders, so that trade has been voided. Man, I

1834
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,000
Speaker 1: don't get Christian Hackenburg. I don't get what the Jets

1835
01:28:31,040 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: were doing when they drafted him, you know, second round

1836
01:28:34,439 --> 01:28:36,880
Speaker 1: fifty first pick a couple of years ago, drafted him,

1837
01:28:36,920 --> 01:28:39,439
Speaker 1: never let him play, trade him away, the Raiders don't

1838
01:28:39,439 --> 01:28:41,559
Speaker 1: even let him get to training camp with him. How

1839
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,160
Speaker 1: I guess My question is how bad is Christian Hackenberg?

1840
01:28:44,240 --> 01:28:47,080
Speaker 1: And what on earth did the Jets see a couple

1841
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,280
Speaker 1: of years ago, just two years ago, and they chose

1842
01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:53,040
Speaker 1: them in the second round. Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

1843
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:56,879
Speaker 1: I you have to think there's some underlying thing that's happening,

1844
01:28:57,120 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 1: because it even in the highlights that you see, it's

1845
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,559
Speaker 1: all preseason games. He never got into a regular season game,

1846
01:29:03,760 --> 01:29:08,479
Speaker 1: was inactive virtually every game of his career, and on

1847
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:14,519
Speaker 1: a team that was looking desperately for a quarterback, he

1848
01:29:14,800 --> 01:29:19,560
Speaker 1: never even got a shot. Jets. Yeah, I get it.

1849
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:21,479
Speaker 1: I don't get it. In now that the Raiders cut

1850
01:29:21,560 --> 01:29:23,760
Speaker 1: him and then you got to sing, well two and

1851
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 1: a half, three weeks after they picked him up, and

1852
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,360
Speaker 1: maybe it's it's it's him. Yeah, it's it's not him.

1853
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,439
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not me, it's him. And I just

1854
01:29:30,520 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 1: don't I go back to the original decision by the Jets.

1855
01:29:32,960 --> 01:29:35,000
Speaker 1: What do they see? I'd love to get the answer.

1856
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because we're looking at the on the

1857
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:40,759
Speaker 1: highlights and for MSG viewers, I mean we're watching highlights

1858
01:29:40,800 --> 01:29:43,960
Speaker 1: of Hackenburg in a preseason game against the Giants and

1859
01:29:44,000 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: he's throwing it all over the joint. I mean, he looks,

1860
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,800
Speaker 1: you know, he's throwing it, making throws and he's you know,

1861
01:29:48,960 --> 01:29:52,640
Speaker 1: I go, it's preseason. But how bad must he have

1862
01:29:52,720 --> 01:29:55,200
Speaker 1: looked or what must have happened to his career or

1863
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:57,000
Speaker 1: what kind of guy must he be that he can't

1864
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,600
Speaker 1: even get on the field for a Jet team that

1865
01:30:00,880 --> 01:30:04,599
Speaker 1: would have done anything to have a guy emerge. Yeah. Crazy,

1866
01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 1: They never even gave him a look. That's amazing. That's

1867
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:11,920
Speaker 1: absolutely amazing to me. And I don't get it. I

1868
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:13,439
Speaker 1: don't get it, and I haven't even know. I haven't

1869
01:30:13,520 --> 01:30:16,240
Speaker 1: really delved into I'm gonna I'm gonna get a chance

1870
01:30:16,240 --> 01:30:18,120
Speaker 1: to see if I can ask somebody, and I'm gonna

1871
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:19,920
Speaker 1: find out what the deal was with him, and it's

1872
01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:21,680
Speaker 1: so I at least I can have some closure on that,

1873
01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:24,800
Speaker 1: because I want a riddle. That is a riddle staying

1874
01:30:24,840 --> 01:30:28,160
Speaker 1: in the AFC East Gronkowski Patriots back in the news.

1875
01:30:28,680 --> 01:30:32,200
Speaker 1: Um the owner says, what did he call it? Um? Hogwash? Hogwash?

1876
01:30:32,400 --> 01:30:35,400
Speaker 1: The report that they were going to trade Rob Gronkowski.

1877
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:39,760
Speaker 1: But the report is from several different terminals that right

1878
01:30:39,840 --> 01:30:41,800
Speaker 1: around the time of the draft they were making calls

1879
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:44,360
Speaker 1: about Rob Gronkowski to other teams. I don't know whether

1880
01:30:44,360 --> 01:30:48,759
Speaker 1: they're making calls or fielding calls in either way. And listen,

1881
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: I don't doubt it people gms, and we've found this

1882
01:30:52,360 --> 01:30:54,439
Speaker 1: out this last off. See, we found a lot of

1883
01:30:54,479 --> 01:30:57,400
Speaker 1: people making phone calls about everything. So I don't doubt

1884
01:30:57,479 --> 01:31:00,600
Speaker 1: that people or teams GMS have a said, listen, what

1885
01:31:00,640 --> 01:31:03,000
Speaker 1: would it take to get Gronkowski out of there? You know,

1886
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:06,879
Speaker 1: particularly since he's always unhappy or seems to be unhappy

1887
01:31:06,960 --> 01:31:11,760
Speaker 1: with his contract every year, the words have come out

1888
01:31:11,840 --> 01:31:14,160
Speaker 1: that he's you know, it's a little bit the grind

1889
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: is kind of getting to him. Late last season, not

1890
01:31:16,600 --> 01:31:19,000
Speaker 1: having fun, not having fun, all that stuff coming out

1891
01:31:19,040 --> 01:31:20,679
Speaker 1: of there. So it's easy to see like maybe we would.

1892
01:31:20,720 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: But then you hear the owner, and we've suspected this

1893
01:31:24,840 --> 01:31:28,519
Speaker 1: before with Jimmy Garoppolo and Jimmy Garoppolo and how he

1894
01:31:28,680 --> 01:31:31,320
Speaker 1: went to the forty nine ers off the out off

1895
01:31:31,400 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 1: the Patriots roster. You hear this stuff about how the

1896
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:37,840
Speaker 1: owner kind of swooped and said yes or vetoed everything

1897
01:31:37,920 --> 01:31:39,560
Speaker 1: that they were thinking about doing, said no, you're not

1898
01:31:39,680 --> 01:31:41,559
Speaker 1: doing that, or are you doing this? Or I'll let

1899
01:31:41,560 --> 01:31:43,400
Speaker 1: you do that, but you can't do this. And I

1900
01:31:43,520 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: heard that the word was that he vetoed any deal

1901
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:48,160
Speaker 1: that they were gonna make with Gronkowski, or at least

1902
01:31:48,240 --> 01:31:50,800
Speaker 1: a specific deal that was on the table for Gronkowsis

1903
01:31:50,840 --> 01:31:54,520
Speaker 1: Mike Florio Pall Talk says the Patriots engaged in discretions

1904
01:31:54,640 --> 01:31:58,160
Speaker 1: discussions about Gronkowski quote as recently as three days before

1905
01:31:58,200 --> 01:32:01,800
Speaker 1: the draft, and he said the Patriots may have been

1906
01:32:01,840 --> 01:32:04,240
Speaker 1: trying to move up with an eye on quarterback Baker Mayfield,

1907
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:09,920
Speaker 1: who obviously went number one overall. Gronk last Friday a

1908
01:32:10,040 --> 01:32:14,000
Speaker 1: great classic Rob Groundkowski response about the trade reports fake

1909
01:32:14,120 --> 01:32:16,920
Speaker 1: news that's all he said. Bob Kraft said there was

1910
01:32:17,000 --> 01:32:19,320
Speaker 1: no truth. Here's a quote from Bob Kraft. When your

1911
01:32:19,320 --> 01:32:21,640
Speaker 1: team is good, people are looking for things. I'll just

1912
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:23,920
Speaker 1: tell you it's a bunch of hogwash that I vetoed,

1913
01:32:24,000 --> 01:32:26,360
Speaker 1: some trade that was never in the works, just completely

1914
01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 1: made up. And he goes, I think we have to

1915
01:32:29,320 --> 01:32:31,920
Speaker 1: be certain, we have to be careful in society. People

1916
01:32:32,080 --> 01:32:35,600
Speaker 1: just can't come out and say things, mister Kraft. They do.

1917
01:32:36,720 --> 01:32:39,120
Speaker 1: Actually that's what twitter is about. He's just saying things.

1918
01:32:39,160 --> 01:32:40,960
Speaker 1: Just say things. But I don't know what to make

1919
01:32:41,040 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: him interesting. It wouldn't look it wouldn't surprise me. And

1920
01:32:43,479 --> 01:32:45,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't blame the Patriots for exploring you know, what

1921
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:48,760
Speaker 1: can we get for a great tight end who is

1922
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:51,600
Speaker 1: best days? Maybe behind him? Number One, he's got a

1923
01:32:51,640 --> 01:32:53,680
Speaker 1: little bit of a back issue that flares up, he's

1924
01:32:53,680 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 1: at other injuries. Well, how could you blame him for

1925
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,320
Speaker 1: not exploring it, especially if they were interested in moving

1926
01:32:58,400 --> 01:33:01,639
Speaker 1: up to get Baker Mayfield. I think yeah, plus two things. One,

1927
01:33:02,080 --> 01:33:04,679
Speaker 1: I think it's interesting if it on the fake news

1928
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:09,280
Speaker 1: side of it that no other specific team was mentioned

1929
01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:12,200
Speaker 1: at least I haven't heard, right. I mean, they know

1930
01:33:12,400 --> 01:33:14,160
Speaker 1: the trade partner. Yeah, they didn't say who your partner

1931
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:15,760
Speaker 1: was going to be. None of that came up. So

1932
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:19,560
Speaker 1: that's interesting. And the second thing is that you know,

1933
01:33:23,080 --> 01:33:26,320
Speaker 1: I just don't I just don't see it happening. I mean,

1934
01:33:26,479 --> 01:33:32,160
Speaker 1: why they've traded big they've big name, really accomplished players before. Yeah,

1935
01:33:32,200 --> 01:33:34,960
Speaker 1: but Richard, Robert Kraft is and I can see it.

1936
01:33:35,080 --> 01:33:37,360
Speaker 1: On the on the other side of it, Robert Kraft saying, hey,

1937
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 1: it was never just to make sure Gronkowski knows they

1938
01:33:40,600 --> 01:33:43,280
Speaker 1: still want him, He'll saying, hey, it was never in

1939
01:33:43,280 --> 01:33:45,680
Speaker 1: the works. It was never consideration. We never did it.

1940
01:33:45,840 --> 01:33:48,560
Speaker 1: Never Rob, we still love you because they're in a

1941
01:33:48,640 --> 01:33:51,400
Speaker 1: contract negotiation with him right now. Right. So that's the

1942
01:33:51,479 --> 01:33:53,200
Speaker 1: other side. I mean, that's my second point. Was the

1943
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:54,960
Speaker 1: other side of it, on the fake news side, it

1944
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,680
Speaker 1: was that there was no other trade partner. On the

1945
01:33:56,760 --> 01:33:58,519
Speaker 1: other side of it is Robert krafts going no, no, no, no,

1946
01:33:59,320 --> 01:34:01,439
Speaker 1: nothing was ever in the words no, no, no, it's

1947
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:04,080
Speaker 1: all fake news. There's nothing to see here. We weren't

1948
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,720
Speaker 1: trying to pedal Rob Gruncount. There's where it could get

1949
01:34:06,720 --> 01:34:08,240
Speaker 1: because we don't want him to get angry with us.

1950
01:34:08,400 --> 01:34:10,920
Speaker 1: Here's who. It could get interesting if if the man

1951
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:14,000
Speaker 1: who runs the football operation here, Bill Belichick, went ahead

1952
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: and made those calls without mister Craft's approval. And now

1953
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: Kraft comes back and says, hogwash didn't happen. But maybe

1954
01:34:19,520 --> 01:34:21,680
Speaker 1: it did happen, and you didn't tell Kraft about it,

1955
01:34:21,840 --> 01:34:25,800

1986
01:36:01,080 --> 01:36:05,400

1987
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:08,040
Speaker 1: went to break about we just talked about the Gronkowski thing,

1988
01:36:08,080 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: and we talked about this heady Bridgewater thing. And there's

1989
01:36:10,040 --> 01:36:11,680
Speaker 1: a bunch of stuff going on around the league, and

1990
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:13,840
Speaker 1: did you hear this story? And he did it on

1991
01:36:13,880 --> 01:36:16,840
Speaker 1: your update Reggie Bush. Heggie Bush got twelve point four

1992
01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:21,439
Speaker 1: million fifth rands. Yeah, for getting his knee injured sliding

1993
01:36:21,479 --> 01:36:24,200
Speaker 1: on concrete during a game. It happened during a game.

1994
01:36:24,240 --> 01:36:25,519
Speaker 1: And I don't know if some people some of her

1995
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,920
Speaker 1: views remember we've got that for the MSGP. We've got

1996
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 1: the video of him getting injured and at the end

1997
01:36:30,240 --> 01:36:32,439
Speaker 1: it looked innock. He's no question, but so many a

1998
01:36:32,479 --> 01:36:34,880
Speaker 1: lot of injuries due He takes it punt, goes off

1999
01:36:34,920 --> 01:36:37,520
Speaker 1: to the right side, goes down the sideline and outside

2000
01:36:37,560 --> 01:36:40,439
Speaker 1: the turf in this big dome in Saint Louis. They

2001
01:36:40,479 --> 01:36:43,680
Speaker 1: had this concrete and it's real slippery, shiny concrete. He

2002
01:36:43,760 --> 01:36:45,479
Speaker 1: hits it with his cleats and there's no way you

2003
01:36:45,520 --> 01:36:49,000
Speaker 1: can stand up. He hits the ground and blows his meniscus,

2004
01:36:49,520 --> 01:36:53,080
Speaker 1: lateral meniscus out on his knee. It was November first,

2005
01:36:53,160 --> 01:36:55,479
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. It was the forty nine ers at the

2006
01:36:55,600 --> 01:36:58,600
Speaker 1: RAMS in Saint Louis Edward Jones Dome, they used to

2007
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:00,479
Speaker 1: call it there. They don't play the NFL there anymore.

2008
01:37:00,800 --> 01:37:04,679
Speaker 1: The place was very unimpressive. Steve a very bad NFL venue,

2009
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:07,000
Speaker 1: And you're right, you know the Reggie Bush called the

2010
01:37:07,040 --> 01:37:11,040
Speaker 1: area where he fell quote a concrete ring of death. Yea,

2011
01:37:11,200 --> 01:37:13,519
Speaker 1: which hopefully he said that in court, which is why

2012
01:37:13,560 --> 01:37:15,479
Speaker 1: he's getting the twelve and a half million dollars award.

2013
01:37:15,760 --> 01:37:17,600
Speaker 1: The Rams say they will file a motion for a

2014
01:37:17,680 --> 01:37:21,519
Speaker 1: new trial. They did not decline. Bush says, I'm happy

2015
01:37:21,560 --> 01:37:25,719
Speaker 1: with the verdict. The people spoken decided very fairly. Twelve

2016
01:37:25,800 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: and a half million. Suffered a touring lateral meniscus ended

2017
01:37:28,360 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: his twenty fifteen season. Of course, he was here for

2018
01:37:30,520 --> 01:37:34,439
Speaker 1: a little bit, didn't do much here. That's a huge award,

2019
01:37:34,520 --> 01:37:37,040
Speaker 1: but that's a I don't blame players for saying we

2020
01:37:37,120 --> 01:37:38,760
Speaker 1: gotta be better than that. We gotta You know, this

2021
01:37:38,840 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: is not nineteen forty eight here. You got all this money,

2022
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:43,040
Speaker 1: you're making all this money. What are we doing playing

2023
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:45,920
Speaker 1: with a concrete and I'll tell you what's around. There's

2024
01:37:45,920 --> 01:37:49,160
Speaker 1: no reason why a facility that's going to put on

2025
01:37:49,240 --> 01:37:52,400
Speaker 1: an event of that nature wouldn't have because you can't.

2026
01:37:52,760 --> 01:37:54,920
Speaker 1: The players are wearing cleats that make it impossible for

2027
01:37:54,960 --> 01:37:57,600
Speaker 1: them to walk on concrete. They have carpets all the

2028
01:37:57,640 --> 01:37:59,680
Speaker 1: way up to the tunnel or a rubberized surface the

2029
01:37:59,720 --> 01:38:01,519
Speaker 1: player can walk on up and down the tunnel. They

2030
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:03,280
Speaker 1: do it here in Bufflet do it every place. They

2031
01:38:03,360 --> 01:38:05,040
Speaker 1: got to have a place to walk because the shoes

2032
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,519
Speaker 1: they wear on the grass don't work anywhere else. And

2033
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,479
Speaker 1: and then to have that it was an ice rink

2034
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:16,519
Speaker 1: virtually when he went off twelve point five million, a

2035
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:19,600
Speaker 1: lot of money. Here's the thing, Um, that's not you

2036
01:38:19,680 --> 01:38:21,599
Speaker 1: know that that was a bad situation in Saint Louis.

2037
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 1: They're gone there obviously, but there have been other venues

2038
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:28,080
Speaker 1: that have been suspect in facts even and um, what

2039
01:38:28,200 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: about Oakland? Right, they still play with the skin portion

2040
01:38:31,280 --> 01:38:33,639
Speaker 1: of the infield early in the season. That's not healthy,

2041
01:38:33,760 --> 01:38:35,760
Speaker 1: that's not top grade, and they get away with it.

2042
01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:37,720
Speaker 1: So it's not as if you know, the league has

2043
01:38:37,760 --> 01:38:40,640
Speaker 1: a new set of look stadiums. Let's see if you

2044
01:38:40,720 --> 01:38:43,200
Speaker 1: agree stadiums are set up better now for players safety

2045
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:45,160
Speaker 1: than they were twenty years ago. When you were playing

2046
01:38:45,200 --> 01:38:48,599
Speaker 1: twenty five years ago, Sure, we went down old Cleveland

2047
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:52,559
Speaker 1: Stadium was a was a sandbox. Literally, there was a sandbox,

2048
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,599
Speaker 1: and you go down and years ago before they built

2049
01:38:56,479 --> 01:39:01,519
Speaker 1: the FedEx or the Link or the Philadelphia, the Vet,

2050
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:05,080
Speaker 1: the Old Vet. They canceled a preseason game because the

2051
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,200
Speaker 1: field was unsafe. And I remember, and I cannot remember

2052
01:39:08,240 --> 01:39:11,160
Speaker 1: the player's name he was. I wish I could. He

2053
01:39:11,520 --> 01:39:13,680
Speaker 1: blew both his knees out just jumping up for a

2054
01:39:13,720 --> 01:39:17,280
Speaker 1: pass because his feet grabbed that turf at Old Vet Stadium.

2055
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:23,160
Speaker 1: Both Pateeller tendons were injured. And it's just amazing nowadays,

2056
01:39:23,320 --> 01:39:25,960
Speaker 1: particularly when you got a place like the New Minister Well,

2057
01:39:26,880 --> 01:39:29,519
Speaker 1: every stadium is new, and even here in Buffalo, we

2058
01:39:29,600 --> 01:39:31,760
Speaker 1: got a new surface every six or seven years as

2059
01:39:31,760 --> 01:39:34,360
Speaker 1: a brand new surface. It's a football only stadium and

2060
01:39:34,680 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: it's as good at the surface, and the playing surface

2061
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:39,120
Speaker 1: at the new era is as good as any in

2062
01:39:39,160 --> 01:39:43,320
Speaker 1: the league. But you got you know, Mercedes Benz in Atlanta,

2063
01:39:43,439 --> 01:39:46,720
Speaker 1: you got Jerry World in Dallas, you got Levi Stadium,

2064
01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: You've got Century Link in Seattle, all all these new stadiums,

2065
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:53,200
Speaker 1: every one is more beautiful than the last one. And

2066
01:39:53,280 --> 01:39:56,200
Speaker 1: to go back and you're playing in Saint Louis and

2067
01:39:56,640 --> 01:39:58,639
Speaker 1: now you got a team playing in a soccer stadium

2068
01:39:58,680 --> 01:40:03,000
Speaker 1: in la um It's just crazy to think about how

2069
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:05,160
Speaker 1: it was not that long ago when you got a

2070
01:40:05,200 --> 01:40:07,240
Speaker 1: team in Saint Louis. You gotta and even now in

2071
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:11,080
Speaker 1: there in Oakland, well, I know the Oakland is a

2072
01:40:11,360 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: is a joke on the field and around the stadium.

2073
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:18,559
Speaker 1: It is. It's an atrocity. It's it's uh yeah, it's

2074
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:20,839
Speaker 1: it's not a very it's a it's a horrible facilities

2075
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:22,679
Speaker 1: of a horrible surface to play on. They can say

2076
01:40:22,680 --> 01:40:26,600
Speaker 1: what they want, the stadium is dilapidated. Uh when and

2077
01:40:26,720 --> 01:40:29,120
Speaker 1: that's one of the reasons why San Diego had to

2078
01:40:29,240 --> 01:40:32,360
Speaker 1: leave The Chargers had to leave San Diego's because that

2079
01:40:32,600 --> 01:40:38,400
Speaker 1: stadium was an equal atrocity. Uh. It was the underneath

2080
01:40:38,479 --> 01:40:40,880
Speaker 1: the workings of the stadium that ends the outs that

2081
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 1: it was just a horrible place to go and play

2082
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:47,120
Speaker 1: and work. Uh. And as bad as the seats and

2083
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:49,000
Speaker 1: the stands and the stadium was, the field was the

2084
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:50,960
Speaker 1: exact same. And I remember the worst field I ever

2085
01:40:51,040 --> 01:40:53,240
Speaker 1: played on was Old Cleveland Brown Stadium and that was

2086
01:40:53,240 --> 01:40:57,040
Speaker 1: a playoff game. They you know, they spray painted green

2087
01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:59,639
Speaker 1: and that wasn't a baseball related thing, or it wasn't.

2088
01:40:59,680 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: It was. There was no grass growing. There was yeah,

2089
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,559
Speaker 1: there was no grass. They had there was some grass

2090
01:41:04,600 --> 01:41:07,599
Speaker 1: there because they dropped a two by four's foot strip

2091
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:10,800
Speaker 1: asad in the middle of a sandbox and expected that

2092
01:41:10,880 --> 01:41:12,800
Speaker 1: to cover it up. You know, they were you know,

2093
01:41:12,840 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: they were spray painting it and it was horrible. And

2094
01:41:16,560 --> 01:41:19,320
Speaker 1: now I think you know, and I say, twenty and

2095
01:41:19,360 --> 01:41:21,479
Speaker 1: fifteen with a Reggie Bush incident, they just got paid

2096
01:41:21,560 --> 01:41:23,800
Speaker 1: twelve point four million four. I mean, that's way way

2097
01:41:23,920 --> 01:41:28,280
Speaker 1: past the level of tolerance for a for a league

2098
01:41:28,320 --> 01:41:31,200
Speaker 1: like the NFL. Hey, you had one other tweet about

2099
01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:34,080
Speaker 1: we were talking about soccer World Cup soccer a few

2100
01:41:34,120 --> 01:41:36,280
Speaker 1: minutes ago. That's right. You had a question about whether

2101
01:41:36,320 --> 01:41:38,439
Speaker 1: the US would be eligible in twenty right, all those

2102
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:45,920
Speaker 1: all those um questions that we had that about who

2103
01:41:46,040 --> 01:41:49,040
Speaker 1: gets a does the US automatic? Yeah, it goes up

2104
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:53,160

Speaker 1: just getting better every day and you know it, Ton,

2164
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:02,200
Speaker 1: I perfect my craft out there. Steve's tired of hearing

2165
01:45:02,240 --> 01:45:04,800
Speaker 1: me say this, but I say it a lot. They're

2166
01:45:04,840 --> 01:45:06,360
Speaker 1: asking a lot from you, aren't they. I mean, you

2167
01:45:06,400 --> 01:45:08,800
Speaker 1: don't have to admit it, but they're asking a lot

2168
01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,400
Speaker 1: from you. Coming right from college at a very young

2169
01:45:11,479 --> 01:45:14,000
Speaker 1: age and stepping in here not just playing, but kind

2170
01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,720
Speaker 1: of managing what goes on out there defensively with the

2171
01:45:16,760 --> 01:45:18,920
Speaker 1: first team. Huh yeah, I mean it's it's it's a

2172
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,280
Speaker 1: big stuff for everybody that's out there, just that transition

2173
01:45:21,360 --> 01:45:23,479
Speaker 1: from college to the NFL. I mean, you're gonna make

2174
01:45:23,520 --> 01:45:25,680
Speaker 1: mistakes out there, and I think the number one thing

2175
01:45:25,800 --> 01:45:28,160
Speaker 1: is just admitting to that, like you're you're not going

2176
01:45:28,200 --> 01:45:29,559
Speaker 1: to be perfect out there, and you got to learn

2177
01:45:29,600 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: from each mistaken you know, move forward from there. What's

2178
01:45:32,880 --> 01:45:34,640
Speaker 1: you know, what's the biggest been the biggest challenge for

2179
01:45:34,800 --> 01:45:37,839
Speaker 1: Is it been the complexity of defense, or how versatile

2180
01:45:38,040 --> 01:45:40,200
Speaker 1: is or the speed of the installation or what's been

2181
01:45:40,240 --> 01:45:43,479
Speaker 1: the biggest adjustment? Just learning everything. I think that's how

2182
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:45,960
Speaker 1: it is with every new system that someone's in, you know,

2183
01:45:46,080 --> 01:45:48,280
Speaker 1: even in college, you know, it's just you gotta get

2184
01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,280
Speaker 1: that system down packing then you know, I think things

2185
01:45:50,320 --> 01:45:52,600
Speaker 1: will start clicking. You know, you start playing faster and

2186
01:45:53,040 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: things are happening that way. Hey, Tin, we may have

2187
01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:57,400
Speaker 1: talked to you about this before, but can we go

2188
01:45:57,520 --> 01:46:00,439
Speaker 1: back to draft night, first night of the draft, first round,

2189
01:46:01,080 --> 01:46:03,519

2201
01:46:29,800 --> 01:46:31,960
Speaker 1: of the drive to till I got picked, or to

2202
01:46:32,080 --> 01:46:33,519

01:46:38,479 --> 01:46:40,400
Speaker 1: think when the Bills made that trade? I mean for

2207
01:46:40,439 --> 01:46:43,280
Speaker 1: a team to trade to get to you indicates what

2208
01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:44,960
Speaker 1: they think of you. It means a lot to me,

01:48:32,560 --> 01:48:35,320
Speaker 1: to uh, you know, just study my study, my material

2256
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,120
Speaker 1: and just control the things that I can and that's

2257
01:48:38,160 --> 01:48:40,559
Speaker 1: just me locking in that playbook and making sure I'm

2258
01:48:40,600 --> 01:48:44,280
Speaker 1: doing my assignment. Tell me about um learning your assignments.

2259
01:48:44,720 --> 01:48:46,400
Speaker 1: You know, you got here a couple of steps of

2260
01:48:46,479 --> 01:48:49,000
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks after the veterans were here, they

2261
01:48:49,120 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 1: throw a playbook catch out. How much more work have

2262
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:52,360
Speaker 1: you had to do to kind of get used to

2263
01:48:52,439 --> 01:48:54,960
Speaker 1: what's in that playbook and understand what's going on in there.

2264
01:48:55,280 --> 01:48:57,920
Speaker 1: You gotta do a lot. You just gotta study, study, study,

2265
01:48:57,960 --> 01:49:00,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's the number one thing whatever it

2266
01:49:01,080 --> 01:49:03,360
Speaker 1: takes to get that thing down pack. You got to

2267
01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,679
Speaker 1: make sure you're doing that. And you know there's different things,

2268
01:49:05,760 --> 01:49:07,719
Speaker 1: but you know, just making sure you get that downpack.

2269
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,400
Speaker 1: So a little bit about you know, when you got

2270
01:49:10,439 --> 01:49:13,760
Speaker 1: out there, I mean obviously you know you when you

2271
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:15,880
Speaker 1: first got here, how did you find out, like, listen,

2272
01:49:15,960 --> 01:49:18,040
Speaker 1: you gout you're the top guy on the depth chart?

2273
01:49:18,160 --> 01:49:21,080
Speaker 1: I mean, how do they tell you, like, how do

2274
01:49:21,160 --> 01:49:23,679
Speaker 1: they communicate with you about the role you're gonna play,

2275
01:49:23,720 --> 01:49:25,200
Speaker 1: which seems to be right in the middle of everything.

2276
01:49:25,240 --> 01:49:28,640
Speaker 1: I mean, they put everything on your plate. How do

2277
01:49:28,720 --> 01:49:31,320
Speaker 1: they tell you that? How what they say? I mean,

2278
01:49:31,439 --> 01:49:33,280
Speaker 1: it's kind of just you know, just keep stressing the

2279
01:49:33,320 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 1: fact that I got to communicate out there, and you know,

2280
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:37,920
Speaker 1: I'm I'm you know, I'm in the middle. So I

2281
01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 1: got to make sure I'm communicating out there to the

2282
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:41,960
Speaker 1: whole defense. And uh, you know, they tell it all

2283
01:49:42,000 --> 01:49:43,920
Speaker 1: the guys. Make sure you're doing your assignment. That's the

2284
01:49:43,960 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 1: one thing they told me as well. So making sure

2285
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,000
Speaker 1: I do that and making sure I'll get the job done.

2286
01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: So you're calling defenses and you're learning the playbook and

2287
01:49:52,080 --> 01:49:54,040
Speaker 1: they send a defense in and you basically have to

2288
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:56,560
Speaker 1: repeat it to everybody right defensive at all. Yeah, but

2289
01:49:56,680 --> 01:49:58,640
Speaker 1: what about other than that? I mean, do you are

2290
01:49:58,680 --> 01:50:00,200
Speaker 1: you at the point now where you can know those

2291
01:50:00,240 --> 01:50:03,000
Speaker 1: things and say, hey shade this way, or hey take

2292
01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:05,240
Speaker 1: a half step back or something. Well, that takes some

2293
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,600
Speaker 1: time to get to that level of your understanding of

2294
01:50:07,680 --> 01:50:10,720
Speaker 1: this defense and you start moving guys around a little bit. Yeah, definitely. Uh,

2295
01:50:10,800 --> 01:50:13,080
Speaker 1: you know, I got I got some things down, you know,

2296
01:50:13,240 --> 01:50:15,040
Speaker 1: just trying to take a step every day, you know,

2297
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:17,120
Speaker 1: getting those type of things downpack, you know, so I

2298
01:50:17,160 --> 01:50:20,080
Speaker 1: can start recognizing and just reacting. But you know, like

2299
01:50:20,160 --> 01:50:23,479
Speaker 1: I said, I'm I'm getting I'm understanding the defense more

2300
01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:25,680
Speaker 1: every day, and I think that's gonna be a big

2301
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:28,280
Speaker 1: name for me. You are twenty years old, right, yeah, Um,

2302
01:50:28,400 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 1: you're playing with you know, Lorenzo, Alexander, Kyle Williams or

2303
01:50:31,400 --> 01:50:34,120
Speaker 1: fifteen years older than you. Yeah, any hesitation at all,

2304
01:50:34,320 --> 01:50:36,240
Speaker 1: kind of moving them around, telling them what you see,

2305
01:50:36,320 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: what you what you sense, what you think people should do, No, sir,

2306
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:41,720
Speaker 1: I mean in this game, you gotta be firm and

2307
01:50:41,800 --> 01:50:43,880
Speaker 1: what you say, and once you make a decision, you

2308
01:50:43,960 --> 01:50:46,000
Speaker 1: just gotta go with it. And so you know, that's

2309
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:48,160
Speaker 1: what I'm doing out there. I've a lot back on

2310
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:50,880
Speaker 1: those gods for help, dough and advice while I'm out there.

2311
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:53,000
Speaker 1: So they've done a good job with that and I

2312
01:50:53,080 --> 01:50:55,519
Speaker 1: can't thank them enough. We asked Josh Allen, I said, listen,

2313
01:50:55,560 --> 01:50:57,920
Speaker 1: after this week, you know, you're kind of they kind

2314
01:50:57,960 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 1: of shoot you out of the building for like six

2315
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,840
Speaker 1: weeks until your training camp. Are you kind of anxious

2316
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:03,760
Speaker 1: for making maybe take a deep breath, say I'm ready

2317
01:51:03,800 --> 01:51:06,320
Speaker 1: to sit down and kick back for just a minute.

2318
01:51:06,320 --> 01:51:08,360
Speaker 1: I mean, what's your plans for this next six weeks

2319
01:51:08,439 --> 01:51:10,559
Speaker 1: after this week is over? To get out of this building,

2320
01:51:10,640 --> 01:51:12,920
Speaker 1: go back and start training, you know, continue to stay

2321
01:51:12,960 --> 01:51:14,400
Speaker 1: in shape. What I mean, are you kind of ready

2322
01:51:14,439 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: for that? I mean, I think I think we all

2323
01:51:16,880 --> 01:51:18,559
Speaker 1: kind of know it's not really a break. I mean

2324
01:51:18,600 --> 01:51:20,360
Speaker 1: it's a break, but at the same time, you gotta

2325
01:51:20,400 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 1: be logged in and uh because when it come back,

2326
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:24,560
Speaker 1: it's go time and got to make sure you have

2327
01:51:24,680 --> 01:51:26,680
Speaker 1: everything down pack. And I think that's gonna be a

2328
01:51:26,720 --> 01:51:28,840
Speaker 1: lot of this break, just me making sure I get

2329
01:51:28,880 --> 01:51:30,960
Speaker 1: back in that book, you know, stand in shaping things

2330
01:51:31,040 --> 01:51:33,200
Speaker 1: like that, you know, training with my brothers. I think

2331
01:51:33,240 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: that's gonna be a big help for me because we

2332
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:37,160
Speaker 1: could both we could all talk about how we view

2333
01:51:37,240 --> 01:51:39,479
Speaker 1: the game and from offensive side and defensive side. It's

2334
01:51:39,479 --> 01:51:44,479
Speaker 1: a break, it's not a break exactly. Mean your players,

2335
01:51:45,320 --> 01:51:47,639
Speaker 1: you know, you got teammates noticing that we had Lorenzo

2336
01:51:48,080 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 1: here on the set a couple of weeks ago, and

2337
01:51:49,520 --> 01:51:51,560
Speaker 1: he said, I don't know if you've heard this or not.

2338
01:51:51,680 --> 01:51:54,840
Speaker 1: He said, Tremaine is gonna be all pro performer in

2339
01:51:54,880 --> 01:51:58,600
Speaker 1: a couple of years. Um. Whyat Teyller College teammate of

2340
01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:01,400
Speaker 1: yours from Virginia Tech on our show just last week

2341
01:52:01,760 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 1: said something to the effect that I said to him,

2342
01:52:04,400 --> 01:52:06,840
Speaker 1: you know, how did you know that a Virginia Tech,

2343
01:52:06,920 --> 01:52:08,320
Speaker 1: the terrain is going to be good. And he said,

2344
01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:11,479
Speaker 1: just look at him. What do you think when you've

2345
01:52:11,479 --> 01:52:13,920
Speaker 1: got teammates noticing your play and how do you look

2346
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:15,720
Speaker 1: and what you've done out here? So if aren't a

2347
01:52:15,840 --> 01:52:18,840
Speaker 1: very short time, I appreciate it, you know, but I

2348
01:52:18,920 --> 01:52:22,600
Speaker 1: have a lot more room for improvement, and you know,

2349
01:52:22,720 --> 01:52:24,519
Speaker 1: things that I have to get better with, you know,

2350
01:52:24,600 --> 01:52:27,240
Speaker 1: assignments that I have to get down, and so you know,

2351
01:52:27,360 --> 01:52:29,720
Speaker 1: in order for this team, you know, to take the

2352
01:52:29,840 --> 01:52:32,360
Speaker 1: next step, it's just gonna be about everybody just out there,

2353
01:52:32,400 --> 01:52:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, communicating everybody out there playing is one and

2354
01:52:35,680 --> 01:52:38,680
Speaker 1: that's gonna be my my my responsibility for myself to

2355
01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 1: making sure I have my assignment down, okay, and all

2356
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:42,960
Speaker 1: the stuff that you've been through, all the drills and

2357
01:52:43,080 --> 01:52:45,120
Speaker 1: all the stuff. Now that eleven on eleven, you watch

2358
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:50,960
Speaker 1: who have you noticed from just offense and defense who's

2359
01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: out there and say, wow, that guy's a really good place.

2360
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:54,320
Speaker 1: I'm like, who have you noticed for their abilities? And

2361
01:52:54,360 --> 01:52:56,040
Speaker 1: they're they're you know, like like wow, I never saw

2362
01:52:56,080 --> 01:52:58,240
Speaker 1: anybody like this in Virginia Tech. That kind of thing,

2363
01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:01,799
Speaker 1: well for me right now is it's kind of everybody. Honestly,

2364
01:53:01,840 --> 01:53:04,280
Speaker 1: it's just you know, just me trying to I'm kind

2365
01:53:04,320 --> 01:53:06,560
Speaker 1: of locked down on my assignment right now, so you know,

2366
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:08,160
Speaker 1: I see a lot of guys out there and making

2367
01:53:08,240 --> 01:53:10,759
Speaker 1: big plays and and things like that from both sides.

2368
01:53:10,840 --> 01:53:13,080
Speaker 1: So it's kind of hard for me to just you know,

2369
01:53:13,800 --> 01:53:16,080
Speaker 1: give you a couple of names. But it's it's it's

2370
01:53:16,200 --> 01:53:17,720
Speaker 1: it's a lot of them out there that's doing good.

2371
01:53:17,760 --> 01:53:19,720
Speaker 1: When we talk about locking down to your assignments, where

2372
01:53:19,720 --> 01:53:21,160
Speaker 1: did you learn to do that? Where did you start

2373
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,479
Speaker 1: doing that? Maybe that serious and that focus on what

2374
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:26,240
Speaker 1: was being asked of you. I think at a young

2375
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:28,640
Speaker 1: age both of my parents did a good job with

2376
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:31,800
Speaker 1: that and just always kept our heads on straight. Uh.

2377
01:53:31,920 --> 01:53:34,160
Speaker 1: Just speaking of my dad since he played in the league,

2378
01:53:34,240 --> 01:53:35,880
Speaker 1: just just taught me at a young age what it

2379
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 1: took to be successful. And he was my coach in

2380
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:41,599
Speaker 1: high school. So it'll be several times when I wanted

2381
01:53:41,600 --> 01:53:44,200
Speaker 1: to do other things, but he said, no, we're about

2382
01:53:44,240 --> 01:53:46,840
Speaker 1: to watch film. So it's it's it's I learned at

2383
01:53:46,880 --> 01:53:49,839
Speaker 1: a young age that, I mean, you gotta sacrifice sometimes,

2384
01:53:49,920 --> 01:53:52,519
Speaker 1: and you know that's the number one thing. Just make

2385
01:53:52,520 --> 01:53:54,479
Speaker 1: sure you focus you think when you get playing here

2386
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:57,840
Speaker 1: regular season, I guess, or maybe in preseason. Will you

2387
01:53:58,840 --> 01:54:00,479
Speaker 1: your dead can watch film? Now? All right, we can

2388
01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:02,680
Speaker 1: all get film all twenty two film. You think you'll

2389
01:54:02,800 --> 01:54:04,560
Speaker 1: compare notes with him? What did you see here? What

2390
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 1: did you see there? I mean, he'd be valuable resources.

2391
01:54:06,640 --> 01:54:08,560
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure he's always gonna have

2392
01:54:08,560 --> 01:54:10,639
Speaker 1: something to say after my game, just like in college.

2393
01:54:10,720 --> 01:54:13,599
Speaker 1: But it's only to my benefit, Like it's gonna help

2394
01:54:13,640 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: me out. Just sin what he sees because he played

2395
01:54:16,280 --> 01:54:19,080
Speaker 1: tight end, so sin what he sees from offensive perspective,

2396
01:54:19,360 --> 01:54:21,160
Speaker 1: so I can apply to my game. So I'm pretty

2397
01:54:21,160 --> 01:54:23,680
Speaker 1: sure we'll be talking what your family gonna do on

2398
01:54:23,880 --> 01:54:26,160
Speaker 1: game days. You got a brother playing in Pittsburgh and

2399
01:54:26,320 --> 01:54:28,360
Speaker 1: your brothers at the Saints. Yes, sir, what a they're

2400
01:54:28,360 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 1: gonna do? They can split up. They figure it. They

2401
01:54:30,520 --> 01:54:32,840
Speaker 1: figure it out. They've been figuring it out my whole life.

2402
01:54:32,880 --> 01:54:35,800
Speaker 1: So you get three different spots. Now, Hey, I know

2403
01:54:35,880 --> 01:54:38,240
Speaker 1: they're gonna do whatever it says. They always have a

2404
01:54:38,320 --> 01:54:40,840
Speaker 1: plan for. So is there like tell me about the

2405
01:54:40,920 --> 01:54:43,840
Speaker 1: rivalry or the competition between you and your brothers. I mean,

2406
01:54:43,880 --> 01:54:45,560
Speaker 1: you're all playing in the league now, I mean you,

2407
01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you gotta like compare, like you gotta measure

2408
01:54:49,120 --> 01:54:51,400
Speaker 1: yourself against your brothers, how they're doing, what they're doing.

2409
01:54:51,520 --> 01:54:53,560
Speaker 1: Is there anything going on? Do you guys get together

2410
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:56,520
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving dinner and say I had a better year than

2411
01:54:56,560 --> 01:54:59,480
Speaker 1: you did? I mean, I don't. I don't know what's

2412
01:54:59,480 --> 01:55:01,560
Speaker 1: gonna happen in this year, because you know, this being

2413
01:55:01,600 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 1: our first year we all in the league, So I'm

2414
01:55:03,160 --> 01:55:04,600
Speaker 1: not sure it's gonna happen. I know it's gonna be

2415
01:55:04,600 --> 01:55:07,200
Speaker 1: a little bit of junk talking, a little bit reflecting

2416
01:55:07,240 --> 01:55:09,320
Speaker 1: on you know, what we've been through, and uh, you know,

2417
01:55:09,480 --> 01:55:11,480
Speaker 1: out on the driveway playing hoops against each other, you're

2418
01:55:11,480 --> 01:55:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna be talking a lot of Oh yeah, were always talking, right?

2419
01:55:16,040 --> 01:55:18,200
Speaker 1: He trained a couple of years ago, the Gronkowskis. You know,

2420
01:55:18,360 --> 01:55:20,600
Speaker 1: Rob had two other brothers playing in the league. Chris

2421
01:55:20,800 --> 01:55:22,800
Speaker 1: was playing in the league and Danny was playing in

2422
01:55:22,800 --> 01:55:25,560
Speaker 1: the league, all three at once, and I recalled talking

2423
01:55:25,560 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 1: to him they grew up around here. Uh did you

2424
01:55:27,720 --> 01:55:30,040
Speaker 1: guys anticiate? I said to him, did you guys anticipate this?

2425
01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:32,080
Speaker 1: Whatever happened? And they're like, oh, yeah, this was the

2426
01:55:32,120 --> 01:55:34,640
Speaker 1: plan all along? Was this the plan in the Edmunds family,

2427
01:55:34,720 --> 01:55:36,360
Speaker 1: they have you and your brothers in the NFL at

2428
01:55:36,360 --> 01:55:38,880
Speaker 1: the same time. I would say it was definitely planning

2429
01:55:38,880 --> 01:55:41,400
Speaker 1: to have us all playing professional ball whatever it was,

2430
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:45,600
Speaker 1: because growing up we all played multiple sports sou so

2431
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:48,240
Speaker 1: you could choose NBA even yeah, we never you know,

2432
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:50,800
Speaker 1: you can't really tell what the other brothers thinking. So yeah,

2433
01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:52,560
Speaker 1: you don't know if one wants to be a basketball

2434
01:55:52,600 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: player one wants to be a football player. But like

2435
01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:57,080
Speaker 1: I said, we all played all those sports. We all,

2436
01:55:57,280 --> 01:55:59,280
Speaker 1: we all did a lot growing up, so we all

2437
01:55:59,320 --> 01:56:02,200
Speaker 1: wanted to play national balls or whatever that was. That's

2438
01:56:02,200 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 1: always been a plan. What do you when you think

2439
01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:06,000
Speaker 1: you got something out of playing multiple sports? I always

2440
01:56:06,040 --> 01:56:08,240
Speaker 1: thought as well. I mean I thought it's crazy to

2441
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:10,760
Speaker 1: have eight year old kids choose one sport and not

2442
01:56:10,880 --> 01:56:13,120
Speaker 1: play anything else. And yeah, do you agree with that

2443
01:56:13,320 --> 01:56:16,320
Speaker 1: or would you have been better off better served as

2444
01:56:16,400 --> 01:56:18,840
Speaker 1: maybe picking just football at eight years old never playing

2445
01:56:18,840 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 1: anything else. Now I think it's good. Just just my perspective,

2446
01:56:22,040 --> 01:56:24,400
Speaker 1: but I think it's good playing multiple sports just because

2447
01:56:24,920 --> 01:56:27,000
Speaker 1: you don't know if like what those other sports have

2448
01:56:27,160 --> 01:56:29,160
Speaker 1: to offer. So if you just settle yourself to play

2449
01:56:29,240 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 1: one sport. Then, I mean you're missing out on maybe

2450
01:56:32,200 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: what may be an opportunity for yourself. And I say

2451
01:56:35,720 --> 01:56:37,640
Speaker 1: from there you can kind of pick and choose which

2452
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: one you want to play and which one you think

2453
01:56:38,960 --> 01:56:40,560
Speaker 1: you have successful, not to try a lot of them.

2454
01:56:40,640 --> 01:56:42,480
Speaker 1: Right got to Yeah, I want to ask you a

2455
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,480
Speaker 1: question about yourself as a player. And I know you're

2456
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:48,760
Speaker 1: gonna want to say I gotta get better. I understand that.

2457
01:56:48,840 --> 01:56:50,920
Speaker 1: But right now, what's the best thing you think you do?

2458
01:56:51,080 --> 01:56:54,200
Speaker 1: What's the biggest thing that you provide the Buffalo bills

2459
01:56:54,320 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: right now? In part of your skill set? What do

2460
01:56:56,040 --> 01:56:58,920
Speaker 1: you do well? I think I'm a tall guy that

2461
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:01,720
Speaker 1: can ben you know, got tall guy that can get low?

2462
01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:04,760
Speaker 1: I think you know, tall guys sometimes have bad reps

2463
01:57:04,800 --> 01:57:07,160
Speaker 1: with you know, not being able to bend their niece.

2464
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:08,920
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, I think I can get low.

2465
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:11,800
Speaker 1: That's good. How do you like Buffalo? It's been here

2466
01:57:11,920 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: a month, five six weeks? Now, what do you think? Yeah?

2467
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: I like it? Uh, you know, Like I tell my family,

2468
01:57:16,480 --> 01:57:18,520
Speaker 1: I haven't really done much just because you know, things

2469
01:57:18,640 --> 01:57:20,520
Speaker 1: kind of been moving fast. I kind of been locked in,

2470
01:57:20,680 --> 01:57:23,440
Speaker 1: so it's been trying to get my signments down and

2471
01:57:23,640 --> 01:57:25,400
Speaker 1: things like that. So I really haven't had a whole

2472
01:57:25,440 --> 01:57:28,200
Speaker 1: lot of time to actually explore, but from what I've

2473
01:57:28,200 --> 01:57:30,680
Speaker 1: seen and everything's I've been enjoying it. We're glad you're here.

01:58:34,720 --> 01:58:37,600
Speaker 1: You know, take a break and say it's a grind, Steve.

2495
01:58:37,680 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: I mean, it's funny, he does, Yeah, it's a grind.

2496
01:58:40,400 --> 01:58:42,000
Speaker 1: It's funny, he said. Yeah, it's a it's a break.

2497
01:58:42,000 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: It ain't no break. You can't. It's gotta be a

2498
01:58:44,480 --> 01:58:47,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a break, right, isn't. It doesn't. In

2499
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:49,320
Speaker 1: some ways it is, and in some other ways it's

2500
01:58:49,480 --> 01:58:51,040
Speaker 1: less of a break because now it's all on you.

2501
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:52,600
Speaker 1: You gotta do it. Everybody don't get to come in

2502
01:58:52,680 --> 01:58:54,040
Speaker 1: here and be coached. You don't get to come in

2503
01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:55,560
Speaker 1: here and run through it. You know, have somebody else

2504
01:58:55,600 --> 01:58:57,320
Speaker 1: set up, pray. You gotta do it yourself. You gotta

2505
01:58:57,360 --> 01:58:58,800
Speaker 1: go out and find somebody to work out with. You

2506
01:58:58,880 --> 01:59:01,240
Speaker 1: gotta go down, go to the gym yourself. You gotta,

2507
01:59:01,400 --> 01:59:03,520
Speaker 1: you know, get a workout partner. You gotta get somebody

2508
01:59:03,560 --> 01:59:05,760
Speaker 1: to train you. You gotta, you know, you gotta find

2509
01:59:05,800 --> 01:59:07,720
Speaker 1: a way to watch film on your own. You gotta,

2510
01:59:07,760 --> 01:59:09,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's all on you then, so in ane

2511
01:59:09,360 --> 01:59:12,680
Speaker 1: of a lot of ways, it's not a break. It's

2512
01:59:12,680 --> 01:59:15,480
Speaker 1: when you actually go to work, and it's it's the

2513
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:20,920
Speaker 1: times when a pro athlete, when you're standing in the

2514
01:59:21,040 --> 01:59:23,440
Speaker 1: end zone, or when you're standing over the quarterback after

2515
01:59:23,560 --> 01:59:25,240
Speaker 1: making a sack, or when you're making those big plays

2516
01:59:25,280 --> 01:59:27,560
Speaker 1: and you stand up for that minute in celebration. These

2517
01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 1: are the times that nobody sees when it set you

2518
01:59:31,120 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 1: up for those times. You know, when you're working by yourself,

2519
01:59:33,440 --> 01:59:36,520
Speaker 1: nobody knows how hard you work, Nobody knows the sacrifices

2520
01:59:36,560 --> 01:59:38,400
Speaker 1: you make, and it's those times that make it worth it.

2521
01:59:38,720 --> 01:59:42,360
Speaker 1: His demeanor, his approach, the way he answers our questions.

2522
01:59:42,920 --> 01:59:46,280
Speaker 1: I think I think shed a great deal of light

2523
01:59:46,400 --> 01:59:48,840
Speaker 1: on why he was so highly regarded not just by

2524
01:59:48,880 --> 01:59:51,640
Speaker 1: the Bills, but several teams in the NFL sixteenth pick

2525
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:54,720
Speaker 1: in the first round. Um tremendous physical ability. You know,

2526
01:59:54,800 --> 02:00:00,200
Speaker 1: he's huge, big stature, can run all day, but uh,

2527
02:00:00,240 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: you know what you said, I'm tall and I can bend.

2528
02:00:01,960 --> 02:00:04,480
Speaker 1: So he knows what he can do well athletically athletically,

2529
02:00:04,880 --> 02:00:07,960
Speaker 1: but it's his approach that maybe lifts him from just

2530
02:00:08,080 --> 02:00:10,320
Speaker 1: another first rounder to a guy that you really want

2531
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:11,840
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on the first round if you're

2532
02:00:11,960 --> 02:00:14,080
Speaker 1: a team looking for a linebacker. Do you agree? Yeah,

2533
02:00:14,120 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: I mean you think about where he came out in

2534
02:00:16,280 --> 02:00:19,040
Speaker 1: the draft. It's sixteenth overall in a draft where there

2535
02:00:19,120 --> 02:00:23,640
Speaker 1: were four quarterbacks taken ahead of him. Yeah, four quarterbacks,

2536
02:00:23,880 --> 02:00:28,400
Speaker 1: and uh, you know that's that's pretty high. Yeah, I

2537
02:00:28,440 --> 02:00:30,480
Speaker 1: mean that's pretty high. And why the Bills would make

2538
02:00:30,520 --> 02:00:32,960
Speaker 1: that aggressive move on to go up to get it. Yeah,

2539
02:00:33,080 --> 02:00:36,160
Speaker 1: and uh and I agree with you. That's Uh, he's

2540
02:00:36,160 --> 02:00:38,920
Speaker 1: an outstanding kid and he's um, you know, he's just

2541
02:00:39,560 --> 02:00:41,160
Speaker 1: just one more guy that we brought him. And we

2542
02:00:41,480 --> 02:00:43,080
Speaker 1: keep saying it is because sound like a broken record.

2543
02:00:43,120 --> 02:00:46,560
Speaker 1: They're impressive. Yeah, they're not just football players, impressive young men.

2544
02:00:46,800 --> 02:00:50,120
Speaker 1: And uh, it's it's kind of nice to see. It's

2545
02:00:50,200 --> 02:00:52,040
Speaker 1: really nice to see. I want to hear from you today.

2546

Speaker 1: the veteran additions are you most excited about seeing which

2552
02:01:11,480 --> 02:01:13,840
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's free agent acquisition? On defense? Are you most

2553
02:01:13,880 --> 02:01:16,960
Speaker 1: excited to watch this season? It there's a razor thin

2554
02:01:17,080 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: margin between these three names. It is the greatest Twitter

2555
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:24,160
Speaker 1: pole of the day. Star La Tula thirty four percent,

2556
02:01:24,240 --> 02:01:27,960
Speaker 1: say Starlotula Day, thirty three percent, say Vonte Davis thirty

2557
02:01:28,000 --> 02:01:31,160
Speaker 1: two percent, say Trent Murphy one percent. Have somebody else

2558
02:01:31,200 --> 02:01:33,160
Speaker 1: in mind? I can't imagine who that might be. Give

2559
02:01:33,240 --> 02:01:35,320
Speaker 1: us a call. Let's discuss eight oh three oh five

2560
02:01:35,400 --> 02:01:38,480
Speaker 1: fifty and twelve three one eight eight five fifty two

2561
02:01:38,520 --> 02:01:40,760
Speaker 1: five fifty. It is the greatest Twitter poll in the

2562
02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:45,640
Speaker 1: history of one Bill's Live without question. Well, I won't.

2563
02:01:45,680 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: I know, We're six weeks into it, all right. I

2564
02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:49,560
Speaker 1: just don't feel like going back over six weeks in reviewing.

2565
02:01:49,640 --> 02:01:52,440
Speaker 1: But it is, it is. It's got much more, much

2566
02:01:52,480 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 1: more traction than I thought it would. Yeah, I think

2567
02:01:56,000 --> 02:01:58,440
Speaker 1: late in the going Starlotu Lalas started to take over

2568
02:01:58,520 --> 02:02:00,920
Speaker 1: because it's thirty four percent one, I mean take over. Well,

2569
02:02:01,560 --> 02:02:04,160
Speaker 1: that's as big a lead as anybody's had. Trent Murphy's

2570
02:02:04,200 --> 02:02:06,840
Speaker 1: down to thirty two percent and Vonte Davis holding steady

2571
02:02:06,840 --> 02:02:13,120
Speaker 1: at thirty three statistical insignificantly with twelve or over twelve

2572
02:02:13,240 --> 02:02:16,920
Speaker 1: hundred votes. That's amazing and it's been fun to It's

2573
02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:19,960
Speaker 1: been fun to watch because we when we you really do,

2574
02:02:20,120 --> 02:02:21,600
Speaker 1: you can make a case for all of these guys

2575
02:02:21,640 --> 02:02:24,680
Speaker 1: star led Lee, We and I in Buffalo, maybe more

2576
02:02:24,720 --> 02:02:26,680
Speaker 1: so than the other market with a guy like Kyle

2577
02:02:27,320 --> 02:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams and than the significance that he's had on

2578
02:02:30,120 --> 02:02:32,800
Speaker 1: this team. You see another great guy come in up front,

2579
02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:36,520
Speaker 1: a big body who's penetrating and been a dominant in

2580
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 1: this defense to come in and help him, You think, wow,

2581
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,200
Speaker 1: that's a guy that we could do it again. It

2582
02:02:40,320 --> 02:02:42,680
Speaker 1: even me twice as good with him and Kyle along

2583
02:02:42,680 --> 02:02:45,240
Speaker 1: with Harrison Phillip. I mean, Starloto Lele could be the guy.

2584
02:02:45,520 --> 02:02:47,840
Speaker 1: So that's why people vote for him. Vonte Davis like

2585
02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:51,800
Speaker 1: getting into a secondary that's already populated with Pro Bowl players.

2586
02:02:52,240 --> 02:02:54,480
Speaker 1: He's the last. He may be the first option matchup

2587
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:55,920
Speaker 1: teams look for. He's going to get a lot of

2588
02:02:55,960 --> 02:02:59,760
Speaker 1: opportunities with an added pass rush upfront that's going to

2589
02:02:59,800 --> 02:03:02,760
Speaker 1: make it even more you know, great for the defensive

2590
02:03:02,800 --> 02:03:06,200
Speaker 1: backs in Buffalo, and of course Trent Murphy who you

2591
02:03:06,280 --> 02:03:10,200
Speaker 1: sprinkle him into a revamped front seven with Jerry Hughes

2592
02:03:10,200 --> 02:03:13,040
Speaker 1: on the far side, Kyle Williams and Star low to

2593
02:03:13,200 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 1: Lelee on the inside. Trent Murphy could be the guy

2594
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:17,080
Speaker 1: that really is the first guy maybe in a while,

2595
02:03:17,720 --> 02:03:19,880
Speaker 1: and too long to get double digit sacks for the Bills,

2596
02:03:19,960 --> 02:03:22,840
Speaker 1: So all that stuff, it's pretty fun. On our tweet sheet,

2597
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:26,120
Speaker 1: a couple of interesting responses. Ronald Baldoph says Star is

2598
02:03:26,160 --> 02:03:28,440
Speaker 1: gonna help Tremaine be great out of the gate. I

2599
02:03:28,520 --> 02:03:31,640
Speaker 1: hope so, Ellen McCoy. I think Star Slow to Lay

2600
02:03:31,720 --> 02:03:34,920
Speaker 1: will be the most exciting because he impacts everyone else

2601
02:03:35,000 --> 02:03:37,160
Speaker 1: on the field. He will open up gaps and allow

2602
02:03:37,240 --> 02:03:40,000
Speaker 1: the defensive ends and linebackers to attack the quarterback and

2603
02:03:40,120 --> 02:03:42,400
Speaker 1: stuff the run. Two good points, two good votes for

2604
02:03:42,440 --> 02:03:45,480
Speaker 1: star Loo La Yeah. Then Chris Rolex says I picked

2605
02:03:45,520 --> 02:03:47,680
Speaker 1: Vonte Davis. I can't wait to see how dangerous this

2606
02:03:47,760 --> 02:03:50,400
Speaker 1: secondary can be this year. Some pretty high expectations for

2607
02:03:50,480 --> 02:03:53,320
Speaker 1: this group, and I think that's justifiably so. And then

2608
02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:56,240
Speaker 1: one from Nick Blake, who tweets h I'm looking forward

2609
02:03:56,240 --> 02:03:58,280
Speaker 1: to see what Starr and Kyle will do together on

2610
02:03:58,400 --> 02:04:03,040
Speaker 1: the interior of the defense line. These are all good response. Yeah,

2611
02:04:03,320 --> 02:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I said it earlier in the show. As good as

2612
02:04:06,520 --> 02:04:08,040
Speaker 1: the team was, as fun as the team was to

2613
02:04:08,120 --> 02:04:10,920
Speaker 1: watch last years, and as kind of the overachievers that

2614
02:04:11,040 --> 02:04:13,800
Speaker 1: they were a year ago, They're gonna look completely different

2615
02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:15,480
Speaker 1: this year on both sides of the ball. I can't

2616
02:04:15,480 --> 02:04:18,680
Speaker 1: get over how much I anticipate that and what it's

2617
02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:20,000
Speaker 1: going to look like. They are going to be a

2618
02:04:20,040 --> 02:04:24,280
Speaker 1: completely different looking football team. Even with the same secondary returning,

2619
02:04:24,880 --> 02:04:28,120
Speaker 1: even with the you know, skill position of Shady and

2620
02:04:28,720 --> 02:04:31,240
Speaker 1: Charles Clay and Calvin Benjamin, They're going to look completely

2621
02:04:31,280 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: different offensively as well. I I it's really an interesting

2622
02:04:35,360 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 1: offseason for me, and because I don't know, you don't

2623
02:04:37,520 --> 02:04:39,560
Speaker 1: know what the identity of this team is going to emerge.

2624
02:04:40,080 --> 02:04:42,600
Speaker 1: I'll give us your thoughts on that. Eight fifty to

2625
02:04:42,800 --> 02:04:45,680
Speaker 1: three one eight five fifty two five fifty A call

2626
02:04:45,800 --> 02:04:48,240
Speaker 1: from Larry and Amherst. Hello, Larry, go ahead, you're on

2627
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:51,080
Speaker 1: the air, um guys. Two quick topics I'd like to

2628
02:04:51,560 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 1: discuss with you and John. These are items that you

2629
02:04:54,680 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 1: discussed earlier in the year, the first one being Thursday

2630
02:04:57,360 --> 02:05:00,720
Speaker 1: night football. As I recall, when the NFL started Thursday

2631
02:05:00,800 --> 02:05:06,720
Speaker 1: Night Football, the college football had a primetime game every

2632
02:05:06,800 --> 02:05:11,320
Speaker 1: Friday night, which is why the NFL did Thursdays. I'm Steve,

2633
02:05:11,400 --> 02:05:13,800
Speaker 1: since you work for the networks, I'm wondering if you

2634
02:05:13,880 --> 02:05:16,480
Speaker 1: think the networks might ever consider moving Thursday night to

2635
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: Friday nights. One. I think they would get better ratings

2636
02:05:19,760 --> 02:05:22,600
Speaker 1: because a majority of people in our country don't work

2637
02:05:22,720 --> 02:05:25,600
Speaker 1: Saturday mornings, so they could stay up later watch the games.

2638
02:05:26,120 --> 02:05:29,000
Speaker 1: Teams could have a little more time for preparation, players

2639
02:05:29,080 --> 02:05:31,800
Speaker 1: would have a twenty four or more hours to heal,

2640
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:35,040
Speaker 1: and I suspect it would be a really popular thing

2641
02:05:35,120 --> 02:05:36,840
Speaker 1: with a lot of the sports bars to go out

2642
02:05:36,920 --> 02:05:41,080
Speaker 1: to Friday night and watch a game. The other thing is, John,

2643
02:05:41,160 --> 02:05:43,600
Speaker 1: you would talked one time about the length of the

2644
02:05:43,720 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: games and the problems it's created sometimes, and I thought

2645
02:05:48,120 --> 02:05:51,080
Speaker 1: maybe the NFL should consider starting games at twelve forty

2646
02:05:51,160 --> 02:05:56,000
Speaker 1: five instead of one o'clock and allow twenty minute halftimes.

2647
02:05:56,400 --> 02:05:58,840
Speaker 1: When you watch games on TV or when I'm at

2648
02:05:58,880 --> 02:06:02,000
Speaker 1: the stadium at when halftime is over, with a lot

2649
02:06:02,080 --> 02:06:04,200
Speaker 1: of people aren't even back in their seats yet because

2650
02:06:04,200 --> 02:06:06,880
Speaker 1: they haven't been able to go to the restrooms or

2651
02:06:06,960 --> 02:06:09,040
Speaker 1: get their food or whatever. And I think with a

2652
02:06:09,120 --> 02:06:12,360
Speaker 1: twenty minute halftime and starting the game fifteen minutes earlier.

2653
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,680
Speaker 1: The networks would have a little bit more time to

2654
02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:19,280
Speaker 1: run their commercials. They would get higher money instead of

2655
02:06:19,360 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 1: the pregrand excuse me, pregame price that they charge for NFL,

2656
02:06:24,440 --> 02:06:26,600
Speaker 1: they would get a higher price for the commercials in

2657
02:06:26,680 --> 02:06:29,760
Speaker 1: the game itself, and the games would get done a

2658
02:06:29,800 --> 02:06:32,840
Speaker 1: little sooner possibly, And then the games that normally start

2659
02:06:32,920 --> 02:06:35,280
Speaker 1: at four twenty five, maybe they could start at four

2660
02:06:35,480 --> 02:06:38,840
Speaker 1: fifteen and it wouldn't be a problem. So I wondered

2661
02:06:38,880 --> 02:06:41,360
Speaker 1: if maybe, yeah, a couple of interesting things there, Steve

2662
02:06:41,720 --> 02:06:45,400
Speaker 1: on this interesting Larry Friday Night. The issue historically has

2663
02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:48,760
Speaker 1: been the feeling that Friday Night is high school night

2664
02:06:48,800 --> 02:06:51,400
Speaker 1: and nobody wants to step on high school football. That's right.

2665
02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:53,360
Speaker 1: There aren't a whole lot of college games on Friday

2666
02:06:53,440 --> 02:06:55,360
Speaker 1: Night now. They do not want to touch Friday night

2667
02:06:55,480 --> 02:06:58,960
Speaker 1: because of high school football. And that's that sounds kind

2668
02:06:59,000 --> 02:07:02,480
Speaker 1: of crazy, but that's that's something that the NFL. I'm

2669
02:07:02,520 --> 02:07:04,480
Speaker 1: sure they did the research on it and they got

2670
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:07,120
Speaker 1: a lot I think they got a ton of pushback

2671
02:07:07,800 --> 02:07:15,040
Speaker 1: from high school football about you know, not encroaching on

2672
02:07:15,160 --> 02:07:17,280
Speaker 1: that time slot in the NFL. So that's why they

2673
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:18,920
Speaker 1: went all the way to Thursday. It should have been

2674
02:07:19,000 --> 02:07:22,320
Speaker 1: Friday night. And in fact, when the college season ends

2675
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:25,520
Speaker 1: and the bowl season begins, Saturday night becomes an NFL night.

2676
02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:30,400
Speaker 1: So they don't want to touch Friday night football because

2677
02:07:30,640 --> 02:07:34,400
Speaker 1: of high school football. And that's that's been kind of

2678
02:07:34,480 --> 02:07:38,880
Speaker 1: the the unbreakable rule for the NFL their and their

2679
02:07:38,920 --> 02:07:40,960
Speaker 1: TV negotiations. They didn't want to do it on Friday

2680
02:07:41,000 --> 02:07:42,880
Speaker 1: night just because of high school. As far as Larry's

2681
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:47,560
Speaker 1: thought on different games start times, I don't know. Um,

2682
02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:49,400
Speaker 1: I am sure the league has done a lot of

2683
02:07:49,480 --> 02:07:52,360
Speaker 1: research into what all of that means for television ratings,

2684
02:07:52,400 --> 02:07:55,320
Speaker 1: because that's really what drives this start times. I did

2685
02:07:55,400 --> 02:07:58,880
Speaker 1: read I found this interesting, and this is several months ago.

2686
02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:02,200
Speaker 1: When people, you know, people get obsessed with ratings declines,

2687
02:08:02,240 --> 02:08:04,280
Speaker 1: they're not that bad. Most of the declines are Thursday

2688
02:08:04,320 --> 02:08:06,200
Speaker 1: night football as a matter of fact. But one thing

2689
02:08:06,240 --> 02:08:08,680
Speaker 1: I read about Steve which I thought was fascinating was

2690
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:11,680
Speaker 1: a concept of having different start times for every game.

2691
02:08:11,760 --> 02:08:16,000
Speaker 1: For instance, Bill's Jets started one, Dolphins Ravens started one

2692
02:08:16,080 --> 02:08:19,720
Speaker 1: oh eight, Cleveland and Cincinnati started one fifteen, and sort

2693
02:08:19,760 --> 02:08:22,040
Speaker 1: of staggering it that way so that every game has

2694
02:08:22,040 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: a little bit different start time and maybe that would

2695
02:08:24,200 --> 02:08:27,160
Speaker 1: help ratings a little bit. Of course, you don't want

2696
02:08:27,160 --> 02:08:29,200
Speaker 1: to get two backed up for the second game of

2697
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:31,320
Speaker 1: the double header. But to me, it sounds like that's

2698
02:08:31,360 --> 02:08:33,840
Speaker 1: something that that is something that has been considered by

2699
02:08:33,840 --> 02:08:35,800
Speaker 1: the league. I don't know. Twelve forty five. I mean,

2700
02:08:35,840 --> 02:08:38,640
Speaker 1: if you're talking about out West, that's nine forty five am.

2701
02:08:38,680 --> 02:08:41,160
Speaker 1: If you're talking about Hawaii, what are we talking about.

2702
02:08:41,200 --> 02:08:43,480
Speaker 1: Twelve forty five is seven forty five in the morning, right,

2703
02:08:43,560 --> 02:08:45,800
Speaker 1: So that's pretty early. Yeah, And that's all that Gal

2704
02:08:45,920 --> 02:08:50,240
Speaker 1: goes into the into the hopper of the ideas that

2705
02:08:50,280 --> 02:08:52,000
Speaker 1: have been discussed. There's no question about it. I don't

2706
02:08:52,000 --> 02:08:53,680
Speaker 1: think the length of game. The length of games is

2707
02:08:54,000 --> 02:08:57,800
Speaker 1: what it is. They want the games from start kickoff

2708
02:08:57,960 --> 02:09:03,000
Speaker 1: to end to be three hours exactly, that's what they want. Yeah,

2709
02:09:03,080 --> 02:09:05,240
Speaker 1: three or four so what and with the play clock,

2710
02:09:05,440 --> 02:09:08,280
Speaker 1: with a halftime, all of that stuff. It's all centered

2711
02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:10,880
Speaker 1: around being a three hour game. So they wanted to

2712
02:09:10,920 --> 02:09:13,920
Speaker 1: be from one to four. UM and the real sacred

2713
02:09:14,000 --> 02:09:15,840
Speaker 1: cow and you were talking about having the games started

2714
02:09:15,880 --> 02:09:17,920
Speaker 1: instead of starting at four twenty, they would start at

2715
02:09:17,960 --> 02:09:21,600
Speaker 1: four fifteen or whatever. The four o'clock window on Sunday

2716
02:09:21,600 --> 02:09:26,440
Speaker 1: afternoon isn't is the ratings window of the week on

2717
02:09:26,640 --> 02:09:32,560
Speaker 1: television in America. That is the highest rated television block

2718
02:09:32,720 --> 02:09:36,520
Speaker 1: in America because it's the four o'clock game on television.

2719
02:09:36,560 --> 02:09:38,720
Speaker 1: It's either on you know, CBS or Fox or who

2720
02:09:38,880 --> 02:09:41,600
Speaker 1: what have you, And that's something they don't want to

2721
02:09:41,640 --> 02:09:44,240
Speaker 1: tinker with too much. So you're right, they could start

2722
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:45,960
Speaker 1: the game at twelve forty five. I don't think anybody

2723
02:09:46,040 --> 02:09:48,760
Speaker 1: cares that much about when it starts, at least on

2724
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:50,680
Speaker 1: the continental US, but when you get out to well

2725
02:09:50,760 --> 02:09:52,400
Speaker 1: in the West Coast, they probably do care. And you know,

2726
02:09:52,760 --> 02:09:55,360
Speaker 1: on Pacific time, so you can't really tinker with that

2727
02:09:55,480 --> 02:09:57,560
Speaker 1: too much. I mean, and if you go later than that,

2728
02:09:57,720 --> 02:10:00,200
Speaker 1: then you start getting into what really makes money. That's

2729
02:10:00,240 --> 02:10:02,879
Speaker 1: the four o'clock window, the second game of the doubleheader.

2730
02:10:03,000 --> 02:10:04,560
Speaker 1: So I think they are what they are. They're going

2731
02:10:04,640 --> 02:10:06,760
Speaker 1: to try and keep the games at three hours and

2732
02:10:06,960 --> 02:10:08,680
Speaker 1: not tinker with it too much. And it's for Thursday

2733
02:10:08,720 --> 02:10:11,240
Speaker 1: night football. I don't think it's going anywhere. This past

2734
02:10:11,320 --> 02:10:13,240
Speaker 1: year that had a little bit of an uptick in injuries,

2735
02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:17,160
Speaker 1: but that's the first year it's happened, and they're not

2736
02:10:17,320 --> 02:10:19,840
Speaker 1: touching Friday night because of high school football. So some

2737
02:10:19,960 --> 02:10:23,160
Speaker 1: of his other issue was twenty minute halftimes. Halftimes currently

2738
02:10:23,200 --> 02:10:26,160
Speaker 1: twelve minutes. Now I don't see enough. They went from

2739
02:10:26,200 --> 02:10:28,760
Speaker 1: fifteen to twelve. Yeah, that was the direction they were going,

2740
02:10:28,800 --> 02:10:31,320
Speaker 1: and they were going less halftime, not more halftime. So

2741
02:10:31,480 --> 02:10:35,800
Speaker 1: I think that'll probably that probably won't reverse halftimes quick

2742
02:10:36,640 --> 02:10:38,760
Speaker 1: it is, I mean it is very quick. Yeah, it

2743
02:10:38,880 --> 02:10:40,600
Speaker 1: is very quick. It is very quick. You know, even

2744
02:10:40,680 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 1: time you know you're right, and a lot of people

2745
02:10:42,600 --> 02:10:44,560
Speaker 1: can't get back to their seats right and they're finding

2746
02:10:44,600 --> 02:10:46,880
Speaker 1: an excuse to get out of their seat early at half,

2747
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,400
Speaker 1: before halftime, gets something eat, before the crowd gets there

2748
02:10:49,400 --> 02:10:50,680
Speaker 1: so they can get back to their seat and watch

2749
02:10:50,760 --> 02:10:53,040
Speaker 1: the second half. So yeah, that is an issue, and

2750
02:10:53,160 --> 02:10:56,360
Speaker 1: I wouldn't mind a longer halftime, but I don't know

2751
02:10:56,400 --> 02:10:58,040
Speaker 1: how you're gonna fit the game into a three hour

2752
02:10:58,120 --> 02:10:59,640
Speaker 1: window if you do. Yeah, that's going in the wrong

2753
02:10:59,680 --> 02:11:03,120
Speaker 1: direction exactly. Nature recall Arison interesting thoughts eight oh three,

2754
02:11:03,400 --> 02:11:06,160
Speaker 1: five fifty and twelve three one eight eight eight five

2755
02:11:06,320 --> 02:11:09,320
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty John Murphy Steve Tasker here until

2756
02:11:09,360 --> 02:11:12,920
Speaker 1: three o'clock today. Time now for NFL True or False,

2757
02:11:13,000 --> 02:11:16,480
Speaker 1: brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artists in Chiefs.

2758
02:11:16,520 --> 02:11:21,800
Speaker 1: True false. Leshaun McCoy mentioned this the other day the

2759
02:11:21,960 --> 02:11:24,440
Speaker 1: NFL's Top one hundred came out on NFL Network. He

2760
02:11:24,520 --> 02:11:27,240
Speaker 1: was number thirty. He let off the show the other night,

2761
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:30,280
Speaker 1: Monday Night as the thirtieth best player in the NFL,

2762
02:11:30,360 --> 02:11:32,960
Speaker 1: as voted on by his peers. So the NFL players

2763
02:11:33,640 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: polled by NFL Network say Leshaun McCoy is the thirtieth

2764
02:11:37,200 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 1: best player last year twenty seventeen tour False McCoy deserves

2765
02:11:40,920 --> 02:11:42,880
Speaker 1: to be lower or higher, depending on how you look

2766
02:11:42,920 --> 02:11:46,040
Speaker 1: at it, somewhere between one and thirty and the NFL's

2767
02:11:46,040 --> 02:11:48,560
Speaker 1: Top one hundred. True false, Steve, I'll let you go first.

2768
02:11:51,440 --> 02:11:53,960
Speaker 1: He could go a little higher. I think if you're

2769
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:55,720
Speaker 1: gonna take the top guy from each one of the

2770
02:11:56,160 --> 02:11:59,120
Speaker 1: teams and go down to the thirty teams, he's probably

2771
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:00,920
Speaker 1: he is the best player on the Buffalo Bills roster,

2772
02:12:01,040 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 1: no question about it. I think he's as good and

2773
02:12:03,480 --> 02:12:05,840
Speaker 1: probably the most versatile running back in the league. I

2774
02:12:05,880 --> 02:12:08,360
Speaker 1: think he's dangerous both in the running game and the

2775
02:12:08,360 --> 02:12:10,000
Speaker 1: passing game. You may be able to say you can

2776
02:12:10,080 --> 02:12:11,520
Speaker 1: hand it off to a guy and there's a better

2777
02:12:11,600 --> 02:12:13,320
Speaker 1: running back a guy when you hand it off to him,

2778
02:12:13,320 --> 02:12:15,720
Speaker 1: he's better. Or maybe there's one of the guy that

2779
02:12:15,840 --> 02:12:17,920
Speaker 1: can run pass routes or catch the ball better. But

2780
02:12:18,000 --> 02:12:21,640
Speaker 1: there's nobody who does both as good as Lashawn McCoy.

2781
02:12:21,960 --> 02:12:24,320
Speaker 1: And if you say, if that quality alone puts him

2782
02:12:24,320 --> 02:12:27,200
Speaker 1: in the top thirty, I'd say maybe even higher than that,

2783
02:12:27,280 --> 02:12:31,320
Speaker 1: maybe in the top twenty five, top twenty. Certainly there's

2784
02:12:31,360 --> 02:12:33,560
Speaker 1: a bunch of quarterbacks that are important, and maybe some

2785
02:12:33,640 --> 02:12:36,280
Speaker 1: pass rushers. But I think when you're talking about the

2786
02:12:36,360 --> 02:12:38,800
Speaker 1: top players, most important players in the league, I think

2787
02:12:38,800 --> 02:12:40,320
Speaker 1: you got to stick to the skill positions. I don't

2788
02:12:40,320 --> 02:12:42,160
Speaker 1: think I'm gonna put a left tackle in that group.

2789
02:12:42,520 --> 02:12:44,240
Speaker 1: I'm not going to put a guard in that group.

2790
02:12:45,600 --> 02:12:48,840
Speaker 1: Maybe a pass rusher or two, maybe a corner or two,

2791
02:12:48,920 --> 02:12:50,600
Speaker 1: but that's about where it stops. And I think LaShaun

2792
02:12:50,680 --> 02:12:53,200
Speaker 1: McCoy belongs probably in the top twenty. So I'm gonna say, true,

2793
02:12:53,200 --> 02:12:54,560
Speaker 1: he deserves to be high. Thanks for getting to that

2794
02:12:54,720 --> 02:12:57,440
Speaker 1: position things because to me, that's the key. Look. I

2795
02:12:57,560 --> 02:13:00,600
Speaker 1: think the NFL Top one hundred as present by NFL

2796
02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:04,840
Speaker 1: Network is a classic offseason time filler, right, that's all

2797
02:13:04,920 --> 02:13:07,920
Speaker 1: it is. Nobody cares really. But but if as long

2798
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:11,720
Speaker 1: as we're discussing, no really, I care, No, you don't.

2799
02:13:11,840 --> 02:13:13,960
Speaker 1: You lay awake and night and thinking, I can't wait.

2800
02:13:14,520 --> 02:13:16,160
Speaker 1: Did you watch the other night? You won't watch, You

2801
02:13:16,200 --> 02:13:18,920
Speaker 1: won't watch when they do number one? I was it

2802
02:13:19,040 --> 02:13:21,880
Speaker 1: on now? I'm so next week? Yeah, exactly? Let is

2803
02:13:21,920 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 1: it on again? Exactly? I guess I'd be most interested

2804
02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:28,400
Speaker 1: in what other running backs are ahead of Lashawn McCoy,

2805
02:13:28,520 --> 02:13:30,440
Speaker 1: because I think there might be only a couple who

2806
02:13:30,520 --> 02:13:33,560
Speaker 1: deserve to be ranked higher than him. I can't find

2807
02:13:33,640 --> 02:13:36,320
Speaker 1: the list anywhere at my fingertips here of where they

2808
02:13:36,320 --> 02:13:38,480
Speaker 1: are at the top one under players. So you tell

2809
02:13:38,560 --> 02:13:40,280
Speaker 1: me who's ahead of him at running back, and then

2810
02:13:40,280 --> 02:13:41,760
Speaker 1: I'll let you know if he deserves to be higher.

2811
02:13:41,920 --> 02:13:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say false, because I think it's kind of,

2812
02:13:44,320 --> 02:13:46,880
Speaker 1: as I said, a phony offseason issue that no one

2813
02:13:46,960 --> 02:13:50,920
Speaker 1: pays that much attention to um Shady. Even Shady didn't

2814
02:13:50,920 --> 02:13:53,640
Speaker 1: take it seriously, Steve right, right, I mean he was like, yeah, yeah,

2815
02:13:53,680 --> 02:13:56,280
Speaker 1: well I could have been higher or whatever. He was thirty.

2816
02:13:56,400 --> 02:13:58,160
Speaker 1: I'm just let me just go through if I can

2817
02:13:58,640 --> 02:14:00,680
Speaker 1: get my computer to work here, go through thirty to

2818
02:14:00,840 --> 02:14:04,720
Speaker 1: twenty one. Matt Ryan was at twenty nine. Shady was thirty.

2819
02:14:05,160 --> 02:14:08,200
Speaker 1: I mean, don't you think Matt Ryan, I mean quarterbacks? Right, yeah,

2820
02:14:08,240 --> 02:14:09,920
Speaker 1: you're making all list of the top one hundred players

2821
02:14:09,920 --> 02:14:12,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. You probably in your mind anyway, you

2822
02:14:12,320 --> 02:14:15,560
Speaker 1: start with the quarterbacks. Let me rank the quarterbacks first, right, yeah,

2823
02:14:15,760 --> 02:14:18,400
Speaker 1: so thirty to be nook. He's one of the top

2824
02:14:18,920 --> 02:14:21,280
Speaker 1: players in the league. There's only thirty two teams. He's

2825
02:14:21,320 --> 02:14:23,120
Speaker 1: one of the top I don't have a problem with that.

2826
02:14:23,200 --> 02:14:25,440
Speaker 1: I think he does not deserve to be ranked higher

2827
02:14:25,560 --> 02:14:27,480
Speaker 1: or lower for that matter. That's what I think of

2828
02:14:27,520 --> 02:14:31,400
Speaker 1: the NFL's top one. NFL how was that? Did I

2829
02:14:31,440 --> 02:14:36,680
Speaker 1: dismissed that? Okay? NFL true or false? Number two Julio

2830
02:14:36,840 --> 02:14:39,400
Speaker 1: Jones should sit out training camp if a new deal

2831
02:14:39,520 --> 02:14:46,080
Speaker 1: isn't reached true false, I'll say false. I don't think.

2832
02:14:46,160 --> 02:14:49,120
Speaker 1: I don't think a player enhances his bargaining position by

2833
02:14:49,600 --> 02:14:53,480
Speaker 1: sitting out to mini camp or training camp. I think

2834
02:14:53,600 --> 02:14:55,880
Speaker 1: you know your numbers are there, they know who you are.

2835
02:14:56,480 --> 02:14:58,400
Speaker 1: You sit out training camp. I don't think you get

2836
02:14:58,440 --> 02:15:01,320
Speaker 1: a better bargaining position in the end, So no, I'm

2837
02:15:01,320 --> 02:15:05,480
Speaker 1: gonna go false on this. Look, A player sitting out

2838
02:15:05,480 --> 02:15:09,360
Speaker 1: a year doesn't happen, right, A player missing time happened

2839
02:15:09,440 --> 02:15:12,040
Speaker 1: so rarely that it's not even a factor. So you

2840
02:15:12,120 --> 02:15:14,800
Speaker 1: know he's gonna play. You know, he is ninety five

2841
02:15:15,200 --> 02:15:17,600
Speaker 1: certain to play an opening day, So sitting out training

2842
02:15:17,680 --> 02:15:20,280
Speaker 1: camp hurts him and his team more than it enhances

2843
02:15:20,320 --> 02:15:23,839
Speaker 1: his bargaining position. I say false. This is false, mister tasker.

2844
02:15:24,080 --> 02:15:27,520
Speaker 1: I say it's true. Now you're just trying to disagree

2845
02:15:27,520 --> 02:15:29,840
Speaker 1: with me, because here's the thing. You go in there

2846
02:15:29,840 --> 02:15:33,800
Speaker 1: and training him, Yeah, or he could go in and

2847
02:15:33,960 --> 02:15:36,800
Speaker 1: not do anything. What are you gonna do? Why would

2848
02:15:36,800 --> 02:15:39,240
Speaker 1: you risk a non contact injury? Why would you risk

2849
02:15:39,320 --> 02:15:41,880
Speaker 1: going in there and getting hurt, breaking your ankle? And

2850
02:15:41,920 --> 02:15:44,520
Speaker 1: then he's under contract? Yeah, yeah, he is under contract,

2851
02:15:45,360 --> 02:15:48,480
Speaker 1: but that contract is outdated, so he's under contract. His

2852
02:15:48,600 --> 02:15:51,040
Speaker 1: name's on the line. Yeah. Well, you know what, he

2853
02:15:51,160 --> 02:15:53,600
Speaker 1: has a recourse if he doesn't want to honor the contract,

2854
02:15:53,640 --> 02:15:56,040
Speaker 1: he can stay out. He won't. I just said, you

2855
02:15:56,120 --> 02:15:58,320
Speaker 1: know he won't. You know, he'll play, He'll play if

2856
02:15:58,360 --> 02:16:01,280
Speaker 1: he has to. Falcon's won't let it happen. But he'll

2857
02:16:01,320 --> 02:16:03,760
Speaker 1: play if he has to. The difference between walking away

2858
02:16:03,800 --> 02:16:06,680
Speaker 1: from that deal what'll get paid or not is millions.

2859
02:16:06,920 --> 02:16:09,720
Speaker 1: Of course he'll play. He's under contractor I don't think

2860
02:16:09,720 --> 02:16:11,480
Speaker 1: you think he has a choice. Really, here's what I

2861
02:16:11,600 --> 02:16:13,680
Speaker 1: think he does. Here's the thing, and it comes down

2862
02:16:13,720 --> 02:16:16,640
Speaker 1: to this. Does he think that the Atlanta Falcons will

2863
02:16:16,680 --> 02:16:19,520
Speaker 1: cave in? That's the only reason the whole life. If

2864
02:16:19,560 --> 02:16:21,600
Speaker 1: he thinks he can get them to cave in, if

2865
02:16:21,640 --> 02:16:23,480
Speaker 1: he holds out, then you got to hold out. If

2866
02:16:23,520 --> 02:16:25,080
Speaker 1: he thinks they're not going to or if he thinks

2867
02:16:25,120 --> 02:16:26,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to make him come in. If he's

2868
02:16:26,640 --> 02:16:28,800
Speaker 1: gonna go a year without playing, you got to come in.

2869
02:16:28,960 --> 02:16:30,720
Speaker 1: If you don't think you can get that deal done,

2870
02:16:31,280 --> 02:16:33,800
Speaker 1: you come in. You're right, Murph. If there's no deal

2871
02:16:33,879 --> 02:16:36,040
Speaker 1: to be had. If the Falcons are the kind of

2872
02:16:36,120 --> 02:16:39,080
Speaker 1: organizations they're gonna say, listen, your deal's your deal. You

2873
02:16:39,200 --> 02:16:41,520
Speaker 1: got two years left or three years left, or whatever

2874
02:16:41,560 --> 02:16:43,840
Speaker 1: it is, you're gonna play this deal out, then you

2875
02:16:44,000 --> 02:16:46,360
Speaker 1: have to come in. Then you have to come in.

2876
02:16:46,720 --> 02:16:50,560
Speaker 1: And then, because that's the crux of the whole issue.

2877
02:16:50,720 --> 02:16:52,600
Speaker 1: If you can get. If you can get a new deal,

2878
02:16:52,800 --> 02:16:55,280
Speaker 1: you should get a new deal. If you cannot, then

2879
02:16:55,400 --> 02:16:58,640
Speaker 1: don't try it. Come in play, play the contract out

2880
02:16:58,680 --> 02:17:01,879
Speaker 1: and make him franchise you or transition you, and then

2881
02:17:02,000 --> 02:17:04,840
Speaker 1: move on with your career after that. When you played

2882
02:17:06,160 --> 02:17:09,480
Speaker 1: and it was a different era, some of your teammates

2883
02:17:09,520 --> 02:17:11,640
Speaker 1: set out training camp, right, Thurman had a long training

2884
02:17:11,680 --> 02:17:14,879
Speaker 1: camp hold out? Yeah, he did, I remember it. Did

2885
02:17:14,920 --> 02:17:17,320
Speaker 1: they did their deal get better because they didn't show

2886
02:17:17,400 --> 02:17:19,160
Speaker 1: up at the training camp. I have a hard time

2887
02:17:19,200 --> 02:17:21,560
Speaker 1: believe in that. No, but I think it's a it's

2888
02:17:21,560 --> 02:17:23,440
Speaker 1: a posture you have to take. You got to tell

2889
02:17:23,480 --> 02:17:26,960
Speaker 1: them you're serious about it, otherwise they won't get the deal.

2890
02:17:27,040 --> 02:17:29,520
Speaker 1: The deal never get done. I mean they're just yeah, okay,

2891
02:17:29,560 --> 02:17:31,400
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it next week. Well you got, you know,

2892
02:17:31,640 --> 02:17:34,160
Speaker 1: eight practices between now and then, and then what do

2893
02:17:34,200 --> 02:17:35,920
Speaker 1: you do? You come up with a hamstring pulling? Then

2894
02:17:35,959 --> 02:17:38,480
Speaker 1: did your your position get weaker? Yeah, it kind of does,

2895
02:17:39,400 --> 02:17:40,800
Speaker 1: because even if you do have a new deal, you

2896
02:17:40,879 --> 02:17:42,720
Speaker 1: can't practice, so they they're not in any hurry to

2897
02:17:42,760 --> 02:17:45,480
Speaker 1: get it done at all. So that's basically what are

2898
02:17:45,480 --> 02:17:47,400
Speaker 1: you're risking. And football is different than it is in

2899
02:17:47,800 --> 02:17:50,840
Speaker 1: any other sport, because it is there is some inherent

2900
02:17:50,879 --> 02:17:53,200
Speaker 1: physical risk when you're out there practicing even rather than

2901
02:17:53,280 --> 02:17:58,280
Speaker 1: just playing. All right, Finally, NFL true or false this one?

2902
02:17:58,440 --> 02:18:00,959
Speaker 1: I have a hard time. Travis Kelsey, tighten end Kansas City,

2903
02:18:01,640 --> 02:18:07,160
Speaker 1: is a better number eighty seven than Rab Gronkowski. No, No,

2904
02:18:07,320 --> 02:18:13,080
Speaker 1: he's not. No false um. Kelsey in fact has been

2905
02:18:13,160 --> 02:18:15,320
Speaker 1: talking about how he is better. He's the best tighten

2906
02:18:15,400 --> 02:18:18,560
Speaker 1: end in football NFL's top one hundred, which we just

2907
02:18:18,760 --> 02:18:21,760
Speaker 1: disparaged a moment ago as a number twenty four in

2908
02:18:21,840 --> 02:18:24,680
Speaker 1: the NFL. Travis Kelsey Chiefs tight end. No, he's not

2909
02:18:24,920 --> 02:18:28,160
Speaker 1: better than Rab Gronkowski. When Gronkowski is healthy, he is

2910
02:18:28,200 --> 02:18:31,440
Speaker 1: a force. He is forced to be reckoned with. Travis

2911
02:18:31,560 --> 02:18:35,199
Speaker 1: Kelsey's good, really good. I don't think he scares defense,

2912
02:18:35,280 --> 02:18:38,280
Speaker 1: is the way Rab grenkowsk healthy Rob Gronkowski don't. Well,

2913
02:18:38,320 --> 02:18:42,000
Speaker 1: you can't. You can't like qualify it like that. Is

2914
02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:45,039
Speaker 1: he better or not? It is Kelsey better for sixteen

2915
02:18:45,160 --> 02:18:52,080
Speaker 1: games than Gronkowski is for eight because Gronkowski That's the thing.

2916
02:18:52,760 --> 02:18:55,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the question. You gotta ask Kelsey's available

2917
02:18:56,400 --> 02:19:01,440
Speaker 1: and if Gronkowski not, always so when you say that.

2918
02:19:01,480 --> 02:19:04,720
Speaker 1: They'll tell you what. Travis Kelsey's a really good tight end.

2919
02:19:04,840 --> 02:19:09,640
Speaker 1: He's really good, great hands, great route running. He's there.

2920
02:19:09,720 --> 02:19:12,760
Speaker 1: He shows up in crunch spots. They ask him to

2921
02:19:12,840 --> 02:19:16,360
Speaker 1: do everything that the Patriots asked Gronkowski to do. He's

2922
02:19:16,360 --> 02:19:19,279
Speaker 1: come through for him and they and so I it's close.

2923
02:19:19,400 --> 02:19:22,160
Speaker 1: But with you, when they're both healthy, I don't think

2924
02:19:22,160 --> 02:19:25,480
Speaker 1: anybody touches Gronkowski because he's a significantly bigger target, even

2925
02:19:25,560 --> 02:19:29,520
Speaker 1: Kelsey as big as he is. Gronkowski's catch radius is unbelievable.

2926
02:19:30,040 --> 02:19:32,480
Speaker 1: And tsk is a good blocker too. He's yeah, and

2927
02:19:32,720 --> 02:19:35,160
Speaker 1: I agree. So when they're healthy, I agree, I'd still

2928
02:19:35,200 --> 02:19:37,520
Speaker 1: take Gronkowski over Kelsey. But man, you give me a choice,

2929
02:19:37,560 --> 02:19:40,360
Speaker 1: I'll take either one that you don't want. I would.

2930
02:19:40,440 --> 02:19:43,120
Speaker 1: I would do that. That's uh NFL true or false.

2931
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:46,000
Speaker 1: Steve went false on that one, by the way, right, Yes,

2932
02:19:46,480 --> 02:19:49,240
Speaker 1: NFL true or false. Brought to you by Yancy's Fancy

2939
02:20:17,640 --> 02:20:20,680
Speaker 1: me that the visit from Tremine Edmonds was the highlight

2940
02:20:20,720 --> 02:20:22,440
Speaker 1: of the show today or did you have some Twitter

2941
02:20:22,520 --> 02:20:27,080
Speaker 1: polls a highlighter Tremaine Edmunds visited the show today. We'll

2942
02:20:27,120 --> 02:20:29,920
Speaker 1: have to we'll talk about the twitterfoll Bill's first round

2943
02:20:29,959 --> 02:20:32,560
Speaker 1: draft pick, linebacker Virginia Tech. We asked him if he's

2944
02:20:32,560 --> 02:20:35,760
Speaker 1: got any hesitation about, you know, taking over on the

2945
02:20:35,800 --> 02:20:37,800
Speaker 1: field he calls the defensive place and then he's got

2946
02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:39,920
Speaker 1: to move players around a little bit and the hesitation

2947
02:20:39,920 --> 02:20:41,840
Speaker 1: about doing that with some of the veterans on the

2948
02:20:42,040 --> 02:20:45,440
Speaker 1: defensive roster for the Bills. Here's what Tremine Edmonds had

2949
02:20:45,480 --> 02:20:49,680
Speaker 1: to say, No, sir, I mean from this game, you

2950
02:20:49,760 --> 02:20:51,840
Speaker 1: got to be firm and what you say, and once

2951
02:20:51,879 --> 02:20:53,360
Speaker 1: you make a decision, you just gotta go with it.

2952
02:20:53,800 --> 02:20:55,520
Speaker 1: And so you know, that's what I'm doing out there.

2953
02:20:55,920 --> 02:20:57,920
Speaker 1: I've a lot back on those guys for help do

2954
02:20:58,080 --> 02:21:00,520
Speaker 1: and advice while I'm out there. So they've done a

2955
02:21:00,600 --> 02:21:02,640
Speaker 1: good job with that and I can't thank them enough.

2956
02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:05,400
Speaker 1: Me and Edmonds all business during this appearance on the

2957
02:21:05,440 --> 02:21:08,560
Speaker 1: show today, we heard from Lashawn McCoy on the Show today.

2958
02:21:08,720 --> 02:21:10,160
Speaker 1: We have a lot of good things to say about

2959
02:21:10,200 --> 02:21:12,720
Speaker 1: the other first rounder. About Josh Ellen, here's what Shady said.

2960
02:21:14,600 --> 02:21:17,400
Speaker 1: It's good smart. He has to learn. Of course, he

2961
02:21:17,520 --> 02:21:20,280
Speaker 1: throws some passes that probably shouldn't have been thrown. But

2962
02:21:20,480 --> 02:21:23,959
Speaker 1: other than that, has strong arm. He's very intelligent. He's

2963
02:21:24,000 --> 02:21:26,320
Speaker 1: too smart. I tell him sometimes we have conversations. He

2964
02:21:26,480 --> 02:21:28,640
Speaker 1: made easy. This is not like an exam. Just talked

2965
02:21:28,680 --> 02:21:31,280
Speaker 1: to me. You can say yo, you can say what's up.

2966
02:21:32,400 --> 02:21:34,879
Speaker 1: But as a talent level now, he's gonna be really

2967
02:21:34,920 --> 02:21:36,080
Speaker 1: good for a lot of years, and I want to

2968
02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:38,200
Speaker 1: be a part of that when he takes over eventually.

2969
02:21:38,520 --> 02:21:40,280
Speaker 1: I mean took him early in the draft, so that's

2970
02:21:40,320 --> 02:21:45,560
Speaker 1: just common sense. But my specials, that's for sure. I

2971
02:21:45,680 --> 02:21:47,080
Speaker 1: just want to let you know, as the new comer

2972
02:21:47,160 --> 02:21:48,760
Speaker 1: round of the show, you can say yo to me,

2973
02:21:49,360 --> 02:21:50,760
Speaker 1: you can tell you what's up to me. I'm good

2974
02:21:50,800 --> 02:21:53,280
Speaker 1: with that's you know what. I'm gonna call mom and

2975
02:21:53,400 --> 02:21:55,280
Speaker 1: Dad and tell him he said that I can say yo.

2976
02:21:55,440 --> 02:21:57,720
Speaker 1: Now guess what Murph told me I can say yo

2977
02:21:57,879 --> 02:22:00,640
Speaker 1: to him or what's up or what's up? They'll be

2978
02:22:00,720 --> 02:22:03,160
Speaker 1: proud our Twitter poll today. Steve thinks that was the

2979
02:22:03,440 --> 02:22:06,240
Speaker 1: highlight of the show and we should revisit the Twitter poll.

2980
02:22:06,280 --> 02:22:09,000
Speaker 1: Here's what we got. Which Bill's free agent acquisition on defense?

2981
02:22:09,680 --> 02:22:12,880
Speaker 1: Are you most excited to watch this season? It's so close.

2982
02:22:13,120 --> 02:22:14,520
Speaker 1: I hate to call it, but we got to call it.

2983
02:22:14,920 --> 02:22:17,680
Speaker 1: Star La tu La Lay. Thirty four percent of the

2984
02:22:17,720 --> 02:22:19,960
Speaker 1: vote goes to star La tu La Lay. He is

2985
02:22:20,040 --> 02:22:24,000
Speaker 1: the one defensive free agent acquisition that our respondents are

2986
02:22:24,040 --> 02:22:26,880
Speaker 1: most excited about seeing. A dead heat Vonte Davis and

2987
02:22:26,920 --> 02:22:29,879
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy thirty two percent. Two percent have something else

02:22:49,920 --> 02:22:53,040
Speaker 1: You can if you're gonna tread water on your own, Okay,

2997
02:22:53,680 --> 02:22:55,680
Speaker 1: all right, Yeah, like you're really upset about it. No,

2998
02:22:55,800 --> 02:22:57,720
Speaker 1: I thought it was a good Twitter pole today. I

2999
02:22:57,800 --> 02:22:59,760
Speaker 1: told our producer before we aired it, I said, I

3000
02:22:59,800 --> 02:23:01,800
Speaker 1: think this is a lame Twitter poll. I thought it

3001
02:23:01,879 --> 02:23:04,960
Speaker 1: was too tight. I thought there's not enough with a

3002
02:23:05,040 --> 02:23:07,039
Speaker 1: room here. But you were right, that's what you want.

3003
02:23:07,680 --> 02:23:09,320
Speaker 1: You got to make it a tough call. It was

3004
02:23:09,360 --> 02:23:11,840
Speaker 1: a tough call. I really was. It was, It really was.

3005
02:23:11,879 --> 02:23:14,000
Speaker 1: And I think it's those three guys. I think they're

3006
02:23:14,000 --> 02:23:16,400
Speaker 1: all going to contribute, and it's got to be it's

3007
02:23:16,400 --> 02:23:18,440
Speaker 1: about which one are you most excited about? And I

3008
02:23:18,920 --> 02:23:21,600
Speaker 1: was kind of surprised everybody picked the defensive tackle. Yeah

3009
02:23:21,920 --> 02:23:25,120
Speaker 1: that's now. Granted it's by a two percent margin over

3010
02:23:25,160 --> 02:23:28,960
Speaker 1: the other two guys. Nevertheless, I think it speaks to

3011
02:23:30,120 --> 02:23:32,120
Speaker 1: what the fans are looking for. Yeah, in that front seven,

3012
02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:33,720
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be an upgrade every thing through that.

3013
02:23:33,800 --> 02:23:35,600
Speaker 1: Maybe we can do that on the offensive side. There's

3014
02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:38,160
Speaker 1: one more day of mini camp that's coming up tomorrow.
