Speaker 1: nine forty five beautiful day, by the way, right, it

48
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: is seventy four degrees the temperature a little bit more.

49
00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:20,280
Speaker 1: It felt a little bit warmer than that. Steve and

50
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: I are around the roof over here, overlooking the Appollolo

51
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,640
Speaker 1: Suny Track and Field, the stadium, on the roof of

52
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: the press box there, so it felt eighty five. But

53
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 1: I looked at my watch it was seventy four because

54
00:02:31,080 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 1: it was beautiful. It's beautiful day. It's previous, you know,

55
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 1: and it's I it's hard, you know, every training camp

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: is really important, but there's so much going on at

57
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 1: this and there's so many storylines to this one, and

58
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: it's always accompanied by that optimistic anticipation of the season

59
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: coming up. Because last year it was an exciting team

60
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,520
Speaker 1: to watch. The UH Josh Allen was a compelling figure

61
00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: to watch and to see the hard work that he's

62
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: done in the off season come out. He can kind

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 1: of see it. Made a couple of throws today that

64
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:05,080
Speaker 1: were like, I'm like, ah, there it is, you know wow. Yeah.

65
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:07,560
Speaker 1: So it's just a lot of fun to be around here,

66
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: and I think the player you kind of feel it,

67
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,920
Speaker 1: and you know that you'll see the players kind of

68
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: react that way too. It's nice to get this started

69
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 1: and put your foot on the gas for once. It's

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,560

Speaker 1: wrapped up today's practice, so things are closing down from

76
00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,440
Speaker 1: the public media standpoint, but they'll be up and running

77
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:35,640
Speaker 1: again tomorrow. Ninety five. You do not need a ticket.

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: earths yet, very Frank Gore is off the non football

81
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 1: injury list. That news came out earlier in the week

82
00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:49,480
Speaker 1: that he was on it. He is off it, he

83
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:51,360
Speaker 1: practiced it. He got did you tell me you saw

84
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: him get the first handoff? I think Lashawn McCoy stepped

85
00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:55,480
Speaker 1: out and let him take the first hand off a

86
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: training camp. I think he's starting his sixteenth right, sixteenth

87
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: training Yeah, wow as a running back. So, uh, I

88
00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,160
Speaker 1: think Gore did he He took the first rap and

89
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: then of course he walked off in Shady took you know,

90
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: came in, took the number one. But it was kind

91
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: of cool. Uh. He looks good. I mean, we've been

92
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,400
Speaker 1: watching him and he you know, he's always been a

93
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: hard worker, that's why he's been in the league for

94
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:19,640
Speaker 1: so long. But he looks ready for a football season.

95
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: He looks sprised around, leaner to me, almost quicker than

96
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: he did in the spring, working ready to play. He

97
00:04:25,480 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: looks great. He's wearing number twenty twenty, number to number

98
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: twenty and uh yeah, off and running then and it's

99
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: a Frank Gore, Lashawn McCoy. Devin Singletary did some nice

100
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 1: things today. Saw him catch a little a little quickie

101
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 1: over the middle and uh get squired into the end zone.

102
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,280
Speaker 1: So you know, all this stuff we've been anticipating scene

103
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: we've seen a little bit of it all. On this

104
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 1: first day. Frank Gore switched his number to number twenty.

105
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: John Brown switched his number. He's now number fifteen. Get settled, boys,

106
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,520
Speaker 1: We got a game. You got a game in a

107
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. No more changes. I gotta get. And

108
00:04:58,160 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 1: that's the other thing I was thinking about this this morning,

109
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: even before I picked up early this morning, Steve, how

110
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:05,440
Speaker 1: this raster has changed. Man. There's a lot of new

111
00:05:05,480 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 1: faces and guys who figure to be important figures in

112
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,560
Speaker 1: the twenty nineteen season, brand new to the roster this year.

113
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,200
Speaker 1: I mean, they really think, and there's gonna be a

114
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: solid seven new starters offensively, at least that's if and

115
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: that's if Zay Jones battles and keeps his spot. You're

116
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: gonna have a new tight end. You're gonna have four

117
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: at least new offensive lineman. Two new wideouts, probably Cole

118
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: Beasley and John Brown will be on the field. I mean,

119
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,599
Speaker 1: there's a lot of guys that are gonna be different.

120
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: And Josh Allen has got to consider him a new starter,

121
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: although from day one last year when he was on

122
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,720
Speaker 1: the sideland he was. He finished the season last year

123
00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,600
Speaker 1: as a starter. So you know he's an incumbent obviously,

124
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: but you know there's a lot of new moving parts offensively,

125
00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: defensively not so much. Those guys are looking to just

126
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:52,160
Speaker 1: take off and fly right away. I think, I think

127
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: there's a lot of expectations on that side of the

128
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,280
Speaker 1: ball now there. They've got some work to do, but man,

129
00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: they've got high expectations on that side of the football. Yeah.

130
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of the other news from being

131
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: and McDermott from pre practice. Nay, not much. Tyler Croft,

132
00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 1: tight end free agent signy from Cincinnati Bengals. Uh still

133
00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:11,800
Speaker 1: remains out physically unable to perform. He broke his foot

134
00:06:11,839 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in the OTA's and mini camp. And the only player

135
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: missing really today, Cole Beasley was back. We talked with

136
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,919
Speaker 1: the instigators about an hour ago about Cole Beasley and

137
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: I would just go to see him out there taking

138
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:26,040
Speaker 1: a regular turn with the first unit offensive line. So

139
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:28,200
Speaker 1: we got a lot to get through today's We said

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,440
Speaker 1: we got Mitch Morris, Chris Brown, Levi Wallace going to

141
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: join us at some point today. We think, and a

142
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
Speaker 1: lot of talk about what went on here the first

143
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,480
Speaker 1: day of training camp and where do you want to

144
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 1: go with us, Well, we can go. How about the pole?

145
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: Let's let us go to the poll. I'm it's a

146
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: simple pole. I'm re sending it right now. So the

147
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,719
Speaker 1: pole is good. It's a simple pole which usually become

148
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,360
Speaker 1: the best first day at training camp. We are in

149
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's training camp. Now, I don't see the poll

150
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: up yet? Ic here, I got it? You got it here?

151
00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: You want to read that? Yes? May? May I take

152
00:06:59,480 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: my phone? Here's the ball. What's the biggest question mark

153
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,279
Speaker 1: for the Bills is camp gets underway? What do you

154
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: think the biggest question mark for the Buffalo Bills as

155
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 1: camp gets underway? Is it who's going to start on

156
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:12,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line? Pretty big question. We'll talk with Mitch

157
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: Morse about that. Is it the pecking order and wide receiver?

158
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: Who winds up as the wideouts on the team? Here?

159
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: I got it? Now? Is it? How are we gonna

160
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 1: use the running backs? What do you do with those

161
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 1: top three or four? You know, Yelden and Gore and

162
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: Shady and Singletary. What do you do with those kids?

163
00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 1: Or is there something else? The biggest question mark for

164
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 1: the Bills as training camp begins. We know we've talked

165
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:36,040
Speaker 1: about a lot of these issues over the last several

166
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: weeks and months. Now it's here and now it's training camp,

167
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: these questions will begin to be answered be answered over

168
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: the next couple of weeks here and we want to

169
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:46,320
Speaker 1: know from you your biggest question mark for the Bills

170
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: as training camp gets underway. Give us a call. We

171
00:07:49,160 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: can talk about it. Eight oh three oh five fifty

172
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,679
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

173
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: Send in a tweet. We might read it on the

174
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, or you can vote on the Twitter poll.

175
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: Right now, sixty one percent of you say the starters

176
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: on the offensive line is the biggest question mark. Seventeen

177
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 1: percent say the pecking order at wide receiver is the

178
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,119
Speaker 1: biggest question mark. Used to the running backs, twelve percent

179
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:12,760
Speaker 1: of you say that's the biggest question mark. Ten percent

180
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,160
Speaker 1: have something else in mind. There's a lot of question marks.

181
00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:18,400
Speaker 1: I think, um, Josh Allen, how he looks is a

182
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: big question mark. I might even vote for that for

183
00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 1: number one. But I get it why people would think

184
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:25,360
Speaker 1: offensive line starters. We should let you know. To see

185
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,320
Speaker 1: watching the workout today, the offensive line left or right

186
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,679
Speaker 1: first unit left tackle Dan Dawkins left guard Spain Quentin

187
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:34,839
Speaker 1: Spain the center, Mitch Morris our guest later on in

188
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 1: the show right guard, they had Jose Feliciano and Cody

189
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 1: Ford was the with the ones at right tackle. Does

190
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 1: it stay that way? Who knows? Right? But that's it's

191
00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 1: I think it will switch, by the way, don't you.

192
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,480
Speaker 1: Oh yeah's guard especially, I think there will be changing. Yeah,

193
00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,200
Speaker 1: I mean Cody Ford at the starting right tackle says

194
00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:55,280
Speaker 1: a little something in Secy was the backup I think

195
00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 1: second string left tackle was he? Or right he was

196
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:02,040
Speaker 1: sect second string right tecussing right tackle. So they've got

197
00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: Cody Ford playing right tackle ahead of Tie and secky Um.

198
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: But we'll talk to Mitch Morse about this about how,

199
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:14,200
Speaker 1: I mean, what a gargantuan puzzle to put together for

200
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: this offensive line. I know that there's a lot of

201
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: confidence up there with those guys up there. They're gonna

202
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,760
Speaker 1: put together a really good group of offensive lineman, which

203
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 1: is a which is a hugely important um and it's

204
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 1: also gonna be important for Josh Allen so that he

205
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: doesn't lead the team, have to lead the team in

206
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,120
Speaker 1: rushing this next year. So a lot, a lot of

207
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: a lot of things on the on the on the table.

208
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: Plus there's so many wide receiveion you talk about all

209
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: the offensive linemen, there's like there's ten plus wide outs

210
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: here too. Um there's a lot up for grab out

211
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,840
Speaker 1: outside as well. So it's gonna be fun to see

212
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,200
Speaker 1: this camp take place. I I like what I saw

213
00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:52,760
Speaker 1: from Josh today. Um made a couple of really nice decisions,

214
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: quick decisions and accurate throws. And of course it's easy

215
00:09:57,240 --> 00:09:58,959
Speaker 1: to look good on day one. It's whether you look

216
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: good on January one if it really makes the difference.

217
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,360
Speaker 1: And we're gonna get through some of the and again

218
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: we can't show you a lot of highlights. We're not

219
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: allowed to shoot a lot of the teamwork or the

220
00:10:09,400 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 1: seven on seven, but we'll talk about some of the

221
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 1: guys who were standouts for us today and maybe the

222
00:10:13,559 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 1: guy we were keeping an eye on today. So that'll

223
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: take place. But if you have a thought on that

224
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: the biggest question mark of training camp, give us a

225
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 1: call eight oh three oh five fifty or toll free

226
00:10:24,960 --> 00:10:29,600
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Give

227
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: us a call and we'll discuss or send in a

228
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: tweet and we might read it on the tweet sheet.

229
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 1: Let's talk about what Sean McDermott said, and here the

230
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 1: bills our twentieth year at Saint John Fisher College. And

231
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: obviously the number of practices here cut down. A lot

232
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: of that having to do with the couple of practices

233
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 1: in Carolina Spartanburg, South Carolina with the Panthers. But the

234
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: future of training camp and what are the benefits of

235
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: having training camp here in Orchard Park. Sean McDermott talked

236
00:10:55,920 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: about that when he met with the media today. This

237
00:10:59,120 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: is part of the reason why we go away. We've

238
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: Brandon and I have said it over and over again.

239
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:07,599
Speaker 1: We believe in going away to camp. We really appreciate

240
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: um what Saint John's Fisher means, and the campus and

241
00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 1: the people in the hospitality that they that they extend

242
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,720
Speaker 1: here to us. UM as it relates to building our team,

243
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:21,400
Speaker 1: it's important that we can go away and build some

244
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: fellowship time off the practice field as much as on

245
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: the practice field, and and uh come together as a

246
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:29,800
Speaker 1: football team. And and so you know, just kind of

247
00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: the gaps in the schedule, if you will offer us

248
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 1: an opportunity to do that, you know, as opposed to

249
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 1: being at home where you know, sometimes there's a little

250
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: bit of pressure maybe to go home and get to

251
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: that um to do list at home, if you will.

252
00:11:45,120 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: And and so whether it's you guys, you know, getting

253
00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: a better field for um, each other, standing a little

254
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,360
Speaker 1: bit longer at the lunch table, um. You know. I know,

255
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: you guys like hanging out with one another. So that's

256
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: another reason why we come and come away to can

257
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's explanation of why camp here and the benefits here.

258
00:12:05,400 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: And I think you know, obviously, Steven, as he said

259
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,520
Speaker 1: when the announcement came about training camp this year, Sean said,

260
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I mean it's an ongoing evaluation, but as

261
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: he said today, for this year, this place works. I mean,

262
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,600
Speaker 1: let's face it, it has worked for years for the

263
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills, but right now the next what two plus weeks,

264
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,840
Speaker 1: this is a good place for the Bills. We'll talk

265
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:26,719
Speaker 1: with someone, we'll talk about Mitch Mores about that. And

266
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: it's and it's been a positive evolution as well. I mean,

267
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:30,840
Speaker 1: this is much different than it was when it began.

268
00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:33,319
Speaker 1: They've got the flexibility, it's certainly got the facilities here

269
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 1: and the space for every to do everything they want

270
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 1: to do. And I we were talking about this on

271
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 1: the way over here today, Murph. It's you know that

272
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,959
Speaker 1: this you know, the regime, this regime and this organization

273
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,080
Speaker 1: is on the right track because you and I talked

274
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,679
Speaker 1: about it. The football people make the decisions, you know,

275
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: they do what's best for the football team. It's not

276
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: it's not so much the bean counters, although those guys

277
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 1: are still important. It's not so much the accountants. It's

278
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: not so much the marketing people pull. It's not so

279
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: much the the media people, the in house media people

280
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: like you and me. It's it's the football people that

281
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:10,360
Speaker 1: really drive the whole organization. I think as long as

282
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: they've got that priority set, everything else will take care

283
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: of itself. But it's it's good to know that those guys,

284
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: and I think it's genuine. I think Sean McDermott does

285
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: like the benefit of sequestering these guys away from Buffalo

286
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 1: in their downtime. They don't have any choice but to

287
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: mix together and mingle and and and get to know

288
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 1: each other. And then there's a lot of benefit in that.

289
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 1: And you know, the teams that I played on and

290
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:35,640
Speaker 1: the camps that I went to, you know they were

291
00:13:35,679 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: noteworthy for that reason. And uh and I think a

292
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: lot of other teams will echo that as well. I

293
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:41,600
Speaker 1: think Sean McDermott found it out early in his coaching

294
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: career and as do other guys. And there's something to

295
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:49,120
Speaker 1: be said for the benefit of being having team building

296
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: being a part of what you do every day, and

297
00:13:51,120 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: I think the Bills appreciate that. Look, I don't know

298
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:55,760
Speaker 1: what the future of training camp here or there or

299
00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: anywhere is, but again, as McDermott kind of emphasize, for

300
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: this year, for this team, this works right now. And

301
00:14:03,040 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: it's so short, right, Their tenure here is so short.

302
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: Last practice here is what August six, I want to say,

303
00:14:08,200 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: it's only a couple of weeks away. Yeah, we're here

304
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: this week, next week, and part of a third week,

305
00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 1: like two days of here is Tuesday, August six, right,

306
00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: So it's you know, we have one next week's one

307
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: full week that we're here, and then we're we're down

308
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: in Spartanburg, right, I mean, so, yeah, it's not gonna

309
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 1: be very long. It's not gonna be very so it's

310
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,840
Speaker 1: not like you're spending you know, half a summer out

311
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: here at Saint John Fisher. In the meantime, fans get

312
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: to come in. There were a lot of fans today,

313
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:34,960
Speaker 1: I thought, didn't you. I thought there stands were full

314
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:37,400
Speaker 1: both sides. A lot of people here. And then they've

315
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: also got the open practice beyond Blue and Red back

316
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:42,760
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, where they'll go in and get more of

317
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,360
Speaker 1: a game day. They'll get a chance to use the

318
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 1: game day locker room. They'll you know, start to get

319
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: acclimated to that atmosphere with the new surface and all

320
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: that stuff, and get ready for the preseason games, which

321
00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, those kick off in another what fourteen days, Yeah,

322
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks, two weeks from today, preseason game

323
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:01,360
Speaker 1: number one the Bills and the indian Amapolis Colts. Sean

324
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: McDermott spoke to the media, Brandon Bean spoke to the

325
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 1: media before practicing a and Bean was asked kind of

326
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: a general question about the path that the Bills are on.

327
00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,000
Speaker 1: You know that it's season three for both being and McDermott.

328
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: Obviously McDermott preceded Brandon by a couple of months, but

329
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:17,320
Speaker 1: Brandon Mean made a point of saying that Brendan Bean

330
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: made a point of saying that he thinks around the

331
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 1: right track. Here's what he had to say this morning

332
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: before practice. I think we're on track. You know. One

333
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: of the things when we got here was obviously adding

334
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 1: depth and quality depth, and I think we've done that

335
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: since you know, sitting here two years ago. The other

336
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,520
Speaker 1: thing that we feel like we've done is, you know,

337
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 1: we've addressed a quarterback position and some other areas that

338
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: we thought needed to improve. And you know, the salary cap.

339
00:15:44,440 --> 00:15:47,920
Speaker 1: We're in a much stronger position as we go into

340
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen and beyond. So that's all been part of

341
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: the plan Sean and I had when we got here,

342
00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: and we're on track. We're still trending, but we got

343
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:01,240
Speaker 1: a lot of work to do. Yeah, and that's probably

344
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 1: the right tech to take. Right. They like where they're at,

345
00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:05,640
Speaker 1: they like what they've done in the offseason. When you

346
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: and I were up watching practice this morning, Steve Brandon

347
00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:12,520
Speaker 1: bean walked through the tunnel and somebody said, Brandon, nice offseason,

348
00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: good job. But I thought he's right, right, they had

349
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 1: a good offseason. But it doesn't matter. What matters is

350
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:20,600
Speaker 1: what happens from now on, right, And I think that's true.

351
00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:23,560
Speaker 1: You hear coaches say this a lot I heard. I've

352
00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: heard coaches for decades say it. Certainly, it's the results

353
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: oriented business for fans and and media, but for the

354
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,240
Speaker 1: organizations themselves, you've got to do everything right for the

355
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:39,240
Speaker 1: right reasons and and let the ball bounce. I mean,

356
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,040
Speaker 1: you've got it, you've got it. You are what you are.

357
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: But by the same token, a couple of bad breaks

358
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 1: or or the culmination of of a great decision that

359
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: turns out wrong because of a bad break or whatever.

360
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: You can't get caught up in that thinking, well, we

361
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 1: did everything wrong because the results weren't there. Well, you

362
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 1: were doing everything right and you got some bad, bad

363
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 1: misfortune and the other guy you're not playing in the vacuum.

364
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 1: It's a hard league to win in the other teams

365
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,680
Speaker 1: doing the same thing too. So it's difficult for fans

366
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,880
Speaker 1: and media to be patient enough for a team with

367
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,240
Speaker 1: a team who has been rebuilding for a couple of

368
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: years take a step backwards in the record, but still

369
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: have been doing everything right. And it's hard not to

370
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:22,199
Speaker 1: abandon something you've really worked hard to build if you

371
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: don't win games. And that's that's the real balance for

372
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 1: an organization. When you see the real strength of an

373
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,560
Speaker 1: organization when they're willing to weather a storm like that

374
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 1: knowing they're doing things the right way and hang in

375
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: there until the results show up. Yeah, I do, And

376
00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: I think most Bills fans appreciate that, thinking their team's

377
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,800
Speaker 1: on the right track. I think smart Bills fans acknowledge

378
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: that doesn't mean they're a playoff playoff lock this year.

379
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 1: I think most Bills fans anticipate there's playoff contention this year.

380
00:17:49,160 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: They would hope that right, certain playoff lock. Yeah, but yeah,

381
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: I mean you can, yeah, exactly, not at all. Nobody's

382
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: a playoff lock. I mean, everybody's zero and zero, and

383
00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: there's a lot of football to be played, and there's

384
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: a lot of obstacles that are going to be thrown

385
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: down that you can't anticipate. Which guys you know, you know,

386
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:08,120
Speaker 1: somebody's gonna get hurt. That's just the fact of the matter.

387
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 1: In the NFL. Who's it gonna be on our which

388
00:18:09,840 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: teams at which positions? How's that going to affect their

389
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: offense and defense? How's that going to affect their production?

390
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 1: How's it gonna affect your team when your guys go down?

391
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 1: And which one is it gonna be who's gonna come

392
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:22,920
Speaker 1: up and be a surprise production from a guy who

393
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: you're gonna get surprise product, surprising, prosective production from a

394
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,719
Speaker 1: young player that you didn't think had it in him,

395
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,280
Speaker 1: and then somebody else. And I say this all the time.

396
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,000
Speaker 1: There's gonna be times at the end of this training

397
00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: camp and you know, I cannot believe that guy didn't

398
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: make the team. Yeah, there's gonna be guy, especially this

399
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: year especially, You're gonna look, there may be as many

400
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:42,960
Speaker 1: as a handful of guys that are like, Wow, how

401
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 1: does he not make it? Um, it's it's it's a yeah,

402
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,800
Speaker 1: it's a long way to go, and all your results

403
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:52,120
Speaker 1: depend on things that are completely out of your control.

404
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: Even at this point of the season, when you've got

405
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,000
Speaker 1: all these guys signed and you're in camp and you've

406
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,840
Speaker 1: got your team pretty much assembled, give us a call.

407
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: Let's don't you think fifty toll free one eight eight

408
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty biggest question to training camp?

409
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 1: What do you think it is? Call us up? Let

410
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:09,480
Speaker 1: us know sending a tweet we might read it. Let's

411
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 1: go to the tweet sheet. Brought to you by Corrigan

412
00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official moving company of the Buffalo Bills

413
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,920
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet. Biggest question about the training camp

414
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: as camp gets underway from Nick, The old line is

415
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: incredibly crucial. If we don't have a cohesive unit there,

416
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: it could be a very long season. But I'm not

417
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: telling you guys anything new, Go Bills. You're right, Nick,

418
00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 1: that's not new. We'll talk with Mitch Morse about that.

419
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:35,159
Speaker 1: But you're right it might be the most critical, crucial question.

420
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: And see, I find myself kind of tempering my expectations

421
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: on when that look. Ideally you'd like to have your

422
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,880
Speaker 1: O line in place today not happening, right, But hopefully

423
00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,560
Speaker 1: you know, at some point can they do it before

424
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: camp breaks August six? I don't even know that. It

425
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: might take a while, It might take into August. It's

426
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:55,040
Speaker 1: gonna be into you, hope. I think it may not

427
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: get done until the last five or six seven days

428
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 1: before the first game is kicked off. It may be

429
00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:05,119
Speaker 1: that long. But by that time, there's gonna be a

430
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: lot of repetitions under the bridge. You know, a lot

431
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: of water under the bridge. You're gonna have a lot

432
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,359
Speaker 1: of repetitions under your belt. All these guys are gonna

433
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,160
Speaker 1: get to know each other, both personally and professionally. They're

434
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,159
Speaker 1: gonna get a sense of how other guys And this

435
00:20:18,240 --> 00:20:20,919
Speaker 1: isn't you sit in a room with all these guys murphing,

436
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: and everybody gets coached up when they take a rep.

437
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:24,879
Speaker 1: You see all the one on one reps. Everybody watches

438
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:27,520
Speaker 1: every one on one rep, So you're getting critiqued in

439
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: front of your teammates, and all your teammates, one by

440
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 1: one are critiqued in front of you. So you see

441
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: how certain guys are getting coached all the time. What

442
00:20:35,600 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: are they doing, and how's he doing? Why is he

443
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: doing it? And you hear him feed and you hear

444
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 1: the conversation between the coach and that player, and you

445
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,520
Speaker 1: get to know that guy by what he's thinking on

446
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 1: that rep. And so when you're in there beside him

447
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 1: as a player, you kind of know what he's thinking.

448
00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: But it takes a lot of those meetings and a

449
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 1: lot of dark rooms where you're watching this little flickering

450
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: light of a film to get to know those guys.

451
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 1: And those film sessions are just as much a part

452
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:02,200
Speaker 1: of the familiar yarity of your teammates as sitting out

453
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,119
Speaker 1: there and maybe having a pop with them at a

454
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: pub in your downtime. You get to know them, and

455
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: you get to know them when they're under pressure, when

456
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: they've got a guy coming against them. So all that

457
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 1: has to happen yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if

458
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: it is. You know, that last week a training camp,

459
00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,119
Speaker 1: when they break after that last Thursday night gaming, you

460
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,639
Speaker 1: play that next a week from the next Sunday, it'll

461
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,680
Speaker 1: be around that time that they finally decide which five

462
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: of those guys are gonna go. And then they'll feel

463
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,239
Speaker 1: good about those guys, and they'll they'll feel really good

464
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: about those guys when they put them in there. And

465
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,320
Speaker 1: you know what, I think, based on the way being

466
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: in McDermot have operated over a couple of years, they

467
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,040
Speaker 1: won't have I don't think they will have like a

468
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: big announcement like Ladies and Gentlemen our offensive line. No,

469
00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:45,720
Speaker 1: it'll be like, well, we're playing with him this week.

470
00:21:45,760 --> 00:21:48,120
Speaker 1: We'll all see we'll see it, you'll see it, We'll

471
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 1: see it. But they're not gonna make a big announcement

472
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: about it. Now. They want flexibility. They don't want to

473
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 1: be locked into any particular player or any particular scheme right,

474
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,560
Speaker 1: it'll start to be the thing where Josh Allen's gonna

475
00:21:58,600 --> 00:22:00,840
Speaker 1: be in there, and it's gonna you'll start to see

476
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: different You'll see four different guys in there. You know,

477
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: with with Mitch Mors, I'm just as example, you have

478
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,440
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse with Josh Allen almost exclusively, they'll be together.

479
00:22:09,480 --> 00:22:11,800
Speaker 1: Then they'll be four different guys. Both both guards and

480
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,600
Speaker 1: both tackles will be different. And then it'll be only

481
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: two guys will be different, and then it'll only be

482
00:22:16,840 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 1: one guy moving in and out of there. And by

483
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: the time training campaigns, you'll know who four or five

484
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:22,159
Speaker 1: at the four or five r and you'll know the

485
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 1: last two guys that they're flipping back and forth. So

486
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: it'll evolve into that and we'll get an idea of

487
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:27,959
Speaker 1: who what it's going to be, but it's gonna take

488
00:22:28,040 --> 00:22:29,560
Speaker 1: time to get there. Let me give you what we

489
00:22:29,640 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 1: saw today and again this is today offensive line first second,

490
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 1: and can give you a third team two. First team

491
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:40,000
Speaker 1: offensive line today left tackle Dawkins, left guard Quentin Spain,

492
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: center Mitch Morse, right guard Jose Feliciano, right tackle Cody Ford.

493
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: Today second team Ladrian Waddle lined up second team at

494
00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: left tackle, Wyatt Teller, second year player, lined up at

495
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:58,320
Speaker 1: left guard, Jeff Body lined up at center sixty Who

496
00:22:58,359 --> 00:22:59,719
Speaker 1: did I have at sixty one? Now I gotta look

497
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,560
Speaker 1: at my hold on oh Spencer Long Spencer along right

498
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 1: guard with a second team, and tian Secki surprised me

499
00:23:06,240 --> 00:23:08,960
Speaker 1: a little bit. Tian Secki was there at the right tackle,

500
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:14,520
Speaker 1: third team, Wesley Ducas, Butcker McGinn McDermott left to right.

501
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: I don't know are those surprises? Are those what you

502
00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: were not looking for? I think there's probably a more

503
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,560
Speaker 1: prominent role for tyan Seki to play down the road

504
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: here as we get through training camp, and you know,

505
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 1: I've heard a lot of good things about last year's

506
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: draft pick, Wyatt Teller. Maybe he gets a look with

507
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 1: the ones at some point. See if that could happen.

508
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: You think about it, and it's so easy. We overthink

509
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,720
Speaker 1: this a ton. Sure we do right. We talk about it,

510
00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,159
Speaker 1: and we hash it out, and we chew it up

511
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: and spit it out and look at it and then

512
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 1: we put it back in our mouth and chew it

513
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,680
Speaker 1: up some more. She's gross, but we do it. And

514
00:23:45,080 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 1: so you think, think about last year they bring this

515
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:53,239
Speaker 1: number seven overall pick Josh Allen and and he's going

516
00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:55,240
Speaker 1: to be a quarterback. And he is the number three

517
00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 1: guy in the depth chart because that's what he's earned.

518
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 1: He's just he hasn't earned anything. So they've got this

519
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: big thing about you have to earn your spot. Even today,

520
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver was behind h Jordan Phillips at defensive tackle.

521
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,200
Speaker 1: He's not starting. But then you go over the offensive

522
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:13,840
Speaker 1: side of the ball, Cody Ford is the starting right

523
00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,600
Speaker 1: tackle day one, first snap at training camp. I don't

524
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: know what he showed in the spring or in the

525
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:24,159
Speaker 1: OTA's to earn that spot. Maybe nothing. Maybe it's just

526
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:26,399
Speaker 1: the fact that everybody's new and he's just the the

527
00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 1: guy that there's that is standing there. What is he

528
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 1: shown that puts him at right tackle ahead of a

529
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 1: guy like Tie and secki Um. I don't know, but

530
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: there he was. M The only other guy can think

531
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 1: of that was that way with this regime was Tremaine Edmonds.

532
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 1: He went in started day one middle linebacker. He's your guy,

533
00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 1: learn it, let's go U. But there you have Cody

534
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,600
Speaker 1: Ford at right tackle in the first offensive line group.

535
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 1: So that's my that's my take on the entire first

536
00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: day day one that that somehow, some way, somebody earned

537
00:24:56,760 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: an offensive line spot at right tackle, which he has

538
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: for like ten minutes, some total of an hour and

539
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,680
Speaker 1: a half worth of observation today from Steve and I

540
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 1: biggest question mark is Bill's camp Cats underway. From the

541
00:25:08,040 --> 00:25:10,239
Speaker 1: tweet sheet from Doug, he says, all of these are

542
00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:12,720
Speaker 1: good questions, but the one I'm looking forward to getting

543
00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: an answer to is on cornerback depth rotation. They brought

544
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: in a couple of guys who can ball. It's a

545
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,080
Speaker 1: good point, Doug, and that point was hammered home and

546
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: Steve and I will talk more about display. But EJ.

547
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 1: Gaines goal line a yard deep in the end zone,

548
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: interception of Matt Barkley, and he starts running away from everybody.

549
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: I thought, e J. Gaines is not going to go

550
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 1: away quietly. If he's going away, he might not go away, right, yeah.

551
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:36,240
Speaker 1: I mean he's a guy who has played, a guy

552
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 1: who makes plays. I don't know if he's going away quietly,

553
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: and I hope that doesn't happen. By the way, it's

554
00:25:42,040 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 1: there is some competition out there, and it's it's not

555
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: going to go away. These guys want to play. EJ.

556
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:50,680
Speaker 1: Gaines has been here before. He played extremely well for

557
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: this club. But now he's got a couple of Levi Wallace,

558
00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: He's got Kevin Johnson, two guys that have proven that

559
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: they can play in the league. Two and Tredavious White's

560
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:05,160
Speaker 1: not going anywhere. You got Taryn Johnson, who's in the slod.

561
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:08,080
Speaker 1: You got you got some guys with some depth and

562
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: some ability and some production. It's gonna be hard to

563
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: get on the field in the Bills Secondary. It's gonna

564
00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: be really hard to bust into that lineup. It'll be

565
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:19,520
Speaker 1: interesting to see who who does. One of the guys

566
00:26:19,560 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: who has something to say about that is Levi Wallace

567
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:25,120
Speaker 1: going into his second year Bill's Corner, and you can't

568
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 1: full you get about him. We're gonna take a break.

569
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: We're back with more from training camp. It's One Bill's Live,

570
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome

571
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: back to training Camp One Bills Live here for eight

572
00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:45,880
Speaker 1: days this year. That's all that might be enough. Based

573
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 1: on the way we're we're started, we might be killing

574
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 1: each other by the end. Welcome to the show. John

575
00:26:51,440 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: Murphy's Steve Tasker here until three o'clock. Josh Allen met

576
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 1: with the media moments ago after this first practice of

577
00:26:57,880 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: training camp. Here's what he had to say and when

578
00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: he talked of the media, I mean, coach explained to

579
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: us why um in our meetings and you know typically

580
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 1: NFL games are one and lost, one and lost inside

581
00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:11,920
Speaker 1: you know the red zone in two minute drills, So

582
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:14,920
Speaker 1: start off with two minute and you know, heavy red zone.

583
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:16,680
Speaker 1: That was just kind of start to camp on the

584
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: right note. You know, everything kind of happens a little

585
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: quicker in the red zone. Um, you know, there's some

586
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 1: good today, there's some not so good today. So, I

587
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: mean it's the first day of camp. We got a lot,

588
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:26,719
Speaker 1: a lot of practices left to get some of these

589
00:27:26,760 --> 00:27:30,080
Speaker 1: things fixed up. Communication was really big for us today

590
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,960
Speaker 1: and I thought as an offense, UM, we really gelled

591
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:34,200
Speaker 1: and we were able to talk to each other and

592
00:27:34,240 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 1: we communicated very well. Just go take yourself back a

593
00:27:39,119 --> 00:27:42,960
Speaker 1: year ago. Yeah, I mean it's extremely different knowing that

594
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: I'm getting the number one reps UM. You know, whenever

595
00:27:46,160 --> 00:27:48,120
Speaker 1: the ones are out there that that's these are my reps.

596
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: You know, I'm going back to last year. It's like

597
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:51,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, and maybe I'm getting a couple of

598
00:27:51,600 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 1: threes or twos here and there and maybe switched into

599
00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,560
Speaker 1: the ones for player two here or there. So um,

600
00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,080
Speaker 1: just to fill the whole thing knowing that you know

601
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know those are like getting those reps

602
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,719
Speaker 1: are extremely crucial. I think for a quarterback, it reminds

603
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:08,919
Speaker 1: you of how part maybe in some senses, how par

604
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,159
Speaker 1: you just allowed to go. Um, I mean a little bit.

605
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 1: You know, I know there's still a lot that I

606
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,280
Speaker 1: got learned in this game, a lot that I got

607
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,760
Speaker 1: to do to improve. Um, And I'm gonna work my

608
00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 1: tail off until I get to you know, where I

609
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,520
Speaker 1: need to be to help this football team win games

610
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:25,960
Speaker 1: of play. How much of an expansion that they made

611
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:28,440
Speaker 1: from year one to year two for you were you

612
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:30,480
Speaker 1: would have a day that process? Um, I mean, coach

613
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,320
Speaker 1: Day has been been doing a really good job, you

614
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 1: know with our entire offensive room, especially our quarterback room,

615
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: with getting plays that we really like in and if

616
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,719
Speaker 1: we don't like a play, getting those out. Um. Obviously

617
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: being here for over a year, having the same system,

618
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,520
Speaker 1: the same terminology, having that relationship with Days, We're able

619
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,440
Speaker 1: to bounce ideas off each other UM. And that's one

620
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 1: things Dave's is just fantastic out He's always willing to learn,

621
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,120
Speaker 1: always wanting to take something from somebody else. You know,

622
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: he's um eager to get better, you know as a

623
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: play caller, UM, and he wants this offense to run

624
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
Speaker 1: smoothly as possible. Which everything that happened last year and

625
00:29:03,080 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: then you jumped in to start good games, bad games, injuries.

626
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 1: At the time, it probably seemed something you had to

627
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: do with Now looking back, how much did all of

628
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 1: that good and bad help you becoming? In judition? Now,

629
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 1: everything that you can do, you know, during the season

630
00:29:17,880 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: you learn from you know, if you don't learn from it,

631
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: that's when you lose. So having those game reps and

632
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,920
Speaker 1: those experiences and going out for a while and having

633
00:29:25,960 --> 00:29:28,440
Speaker 1: Derek come in and having that come in, learning from

634
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,320
Speaker 1: those guys, and then going out and being able to

635
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: apply what I've learned from those guys and put it

636
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: onto the field. And it's it's kind of sucks because

637
00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 1: last year I really started feeling like I was getting

638
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 1: things going. I felt like I was getting into groove,

639
00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: and you know, unfortunately the season ended on us. So

640
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, now with these reps, with what I've learned,

641
00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: with what I'm continuing to learn, and then guys that

642
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: I'm trusting around me, and you know the addition of

643
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,200
Speaker 1: coach Dorsey, He's been helping a lot. So I can't

644
00:29:53,200 --> 00:29:54,920
Speaker 1: wait to get out there and actually start playing some

645
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: football games. John Brown was signed. Everybody talked about his

646
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: deep credibility, which obviously has when it seems like he

647
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 1: also has ability to separate Horizonali as well as Berkeley.

648
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 1: Do you notice that? Does that surprise you? Maybe? What?

649
00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 1: He's great a table? Actually? Yeah, I mean he's obviously

650
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: everybody knows he's he's a speecher, but he's very smooth.

651
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,239
Speaker 1: You know, smooth is very fast, especially when it comes

652
00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 1: down in the red zone, you know, being able to

653
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: get in and out of cuts. Um, you know, he's

654
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: been doing a really good job with that, and that's

655
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: something he's been continuing to work on. He's a vet.

656
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: He's a very smart kid. He wants to learn. I

657
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: shouldn't have said kid. He's older than me, but he's

658
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: a smart guy and I really appreciate having him and

659
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: his curiosity to learn our playbook and get in and

660
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,480
Speaker 1: dive in and um, you know, work with me, you know,

661
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:38,640
Speaker 1: before and after practice, does he feel different not just

662
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: because there are new faces, but these new weapons that

663
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,480
Speaker 1: are around you. How does that how do you translate

664
00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: to that? Like in terms of just the feel of

665
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 1: having these different guys and the different skills. We still

666
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: got a long ways to go. Obviously having them here

667
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:57,240
Speaker 1: is great. We're still trying to find out what roles,

668
00:30:57,320 --> 00:30:59,760
Speaker 1: what what get what things they're really good at, um,

669
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: things they can and can't do, And that's going to

670
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: be a learning process throughout this training camp. We're just

671
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: trying to look to improve and get better. And every

672
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 1: day we go out there, we're gonna learn something new

673
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: about each other. You know, they're gonna learn stuff about

674
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: me and gon learn stuff about them. We're gonna talk

675
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: about to communicate and hopefully apply that to the game field.

676
00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 1: Do you feel the late expectation? Um, you know, you're

677
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: in your second year. People are expecting a jump and

678
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 1: not only you but the team. Do you feel that

679
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,120
Speaker 1: way being kind of place on your right now as

680
00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the guy note at all? Um, you know this comes

681
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: with the territory. I understand that, and listen, I love football,

682
00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,600
Speaker 1: I love with this game in tails, I love everything

683
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: about it. I love being a Buffalo Bill, I love

684
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:39,240
Speaker 1: being here in Buffalo. Um, I love this team and

685
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,440
Speaker 1: I love being a part of this team. So you

686
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:43,640
Speaker 1: know that pressure really doesn't seem so heavy when you

687
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 1: think about it that way. We've got guys around you

688
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: that are going to do their job, and that's that's

689
00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 1: where the communication and the camaraderie, everything that we've worked

690
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 1: on a no TI kind of applies to camp and

691
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,080
Speaker 1: we continue to build on that and get into season.

692
00:31:54,200 --> 00:31:56,400
Speaker 1: It's very fluid and um, you know, we got a

693
00:31:56,440 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 1: good thing going here the whole time. Douity issue came up,

694
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 1: so many new pieces on the opense. It just kind

695
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 1: of a little bit. But he talked about sooner the

696
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,640
Speaker 1: better in terms of building chemistry, talking maybe a detail

697
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: about the challenge of that where you think things are

698
00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,560
Speaker 1: right now and how much your sense of urgency, how

699
00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: far away you are from from being game ready in

700
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 1: that area. I mean, there is a sense of urgency,

701
00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:23,120
Speaker 1: but we understand that football, real games are played, you know,

702
00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: in a couple of months, um or you know, in

703
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: a month and a half. So we understand that there's time.

704
00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,360
Speaker 1: But at the same time, we don't want to wait

705
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:30,840
Speaker 1: you know, we want to get things going now. I

706
00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 1: think that's what coach alluded to. Um, you know, sooner

707
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 1: the better. So we're going to continue to talk and

708
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,560
Speaker 1: continue get reps on the field and um, you know,

709
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 1: whether it's to walk through or after practice, we're gonna

710
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: try to get as many reps of me throwing the

711
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: walls the ball to them as as many as much

712
00:32:44,280 --> 00:32:48,680
Speaker 1: as possible. Josh already. But Brandon said earlier today that

713
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 1: something wanted they wanted you focusing on was taking those

714
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: checkdowns when they were available. They saw a lot of

715
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: that in practice to day. So how big of a

716
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,760
Speaker 1: focal point was that in day one? You know it.

717
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,880
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say it was focal point in just in

718
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,280
Speaker 1: day one, but I think it's been a focal point

719
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 1: in OTAs as well. So it's gonna be something I'm

720
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,960
Speaker 1: looking forward to doing a little more of. Obviously, getting

721
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: the ball into our playmaker's hands, making the right decision,

722
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 1: that's what all kind of comes down to. Checkdowns aren't

723
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 1: usually a cop out. It's usually the smartest play, you know,

724
00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,680
Speaker 1: when everybody drops back, get it to a running back,

725
00:33:16,680 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: get it to a tight end, get it to our

726
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,760
Speaker 1: slot and let them make a play and you know,

727
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: a two yard throw can turn into twenty, you know,

728
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:23,800
Speaker 1: and we gotta understand that. I got to do a

729
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:26,560
Speaker 1: better job of understanding all that stuff too. So, um,

730
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: it's still learning process, and you know, I'm anxious and

731
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: a meager to continue to do that. On your early

732
00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:40,040
Speaker 1: impressions and you guys, yeah my fault, Okay, Yeah, No.

733
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 1: I love Mitch Um, you know, being out being down

734
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,400
Speaker 1: there obviously in the center, he's making a lot of

735
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:48,200
Speaker 1: different calls and he's extremely smart. He's extremely talkative in

736
00:33:48,240 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 1: the huddle. Um, he's he just knows what's going on.

737
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: And he's only been in the system for a little bit.

738
00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: And obviously we didn't get a whole lot of reps

739
00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,960
Speaker 1: in OTA's but I feel like, you know what he

740
00:33:58,080 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 1: did last year and coming into this with in our situation,

741
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: he stepped into the role and he's gonna he's gonna

742
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,600
Speaker 1: own it and he's gonna be the man. Um thankful

743
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 1: that we got him for sure. Been kind of thrust

744
00:34:08,719 --> 00:34:11,400
Speaker 1: into the leadership roles on this team. Being such young players,

745
00:34:11,800 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: I was in dynamic kind of worked out with the

746
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:16,279
Speaker 1: older guys on the team, just just kind of your

747
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,960
Speaker 1: leadership and in that dynamic. Oh, I don't think we

748
00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: have any selfish guys on this team. I think we've

749
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: got a lot of selfless guys that put the team first.

750
00:34:23,360 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 1: And obviously being in those types of positions, the quarterbacks

751
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:27,560
Speaker 1: is going to be regarded as a leader of the

752
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:30,480
Speaker 1: middle linebackers gonna be regarded as leader. And lucky thing

753
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: that me and Tremaine have, we've got each other, you know,

754
00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:35,600
Speaker 1: we we understand where each other's coming from. UM. Obviously,

755
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: being in the same draft, same class, and kind of

756
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: being the same person just on the opposite sides of

757
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: the ball, we can we're able to talk about that. UM. Actually,

758
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: we meet with coach a lot and we talk about

759
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: what types of things we want to get across to

760
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 1: the team. UM. And that's only going to continue to

761
00:34:51,080 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 1: get better as time goes on. Sat here today thoughts

762
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,080
Speaker 1: on his potential. It's a mismatch for you. Yeah, I mean,

763
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: he's an extremely smart kid, and he's very athletic. Um,

764
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,239
Speaker 1: he's doing things the right way and obviously it'll mess

765
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: you know, you won't see the stats pop off on

766
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:15,920
Speaker 1: the page, but what he does on the field is

767
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,080
Speaker 1: really impressive. From a young kid. Um, so we've been

768
00:35:19,120 --> 00:35:21,000
Speaker 1: able to kind of grow together. I know him and

769
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:22,560
Speaker 1: Tommy are in the same room at the same they're

770
00:35:22,560 --> 00:35:25,120
Speaker 1: the same age, and they study the playbook a lot,

771
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,279
Speaker 1: and um, that's one thing that you know, they know

772
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:28,680
Speaker 1: their stuff and when they get in the huddle, I

773
00:35:28,719 --> 00:35:31,960
Speaker 1: don't have to worry about pointing him in the right direction.

774
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,520
Speaker 1: I call the plane, he goes and he does his job. So, UM,

775
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:36,839
Speaker 1: you know that's going to continue to get better as well. Um,

776
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 1: just technique things here and there, but you know, he

777
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: definitely has the tools to be really good. Specifically, a

778
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 1: lot of people talk about broad rest that you need

779
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,880
Speaker 1: to make, but the other season the future specifically, what

780
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 1: areas do you need to making making right decisions to

781
00:35:56,800 --> 00:35:59,680
Speaker 1: help put our offense and scoring position and there, and

782
00:35:59,760 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: so it helps the football team win games. Um, you

783
00:36:02,680 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 1: know that. It's the process that coach talks about, you know, um,

784
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:10,080
Speaker 1: playing football together. It takes three parts to win a

785
00:36:10,120 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 1: football game. Takes the offense, defense, and special teams. So

786
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 1: we got to understand that, and you know, Coach talks

787
00:36:14,960 --> 00:36:17,480
Speaker 1: about that in every single meeting. It's a different situation

788
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 1: of how we're going to handle things when we're gonna

789
00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:23,279
Speaker 1: handle things. Um, he's been super communicative about it, and

790
00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:25,279
Speaker 1: I think the team really appreciates that out of him.

791
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:30,120
Speaker 1: Thank you. Yes, Josh Antlin meeting with the media a

792
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: little bit ago, just to across the way the other

793
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 1: side of Grounding Stadium. He didn't he didn't break any

794
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,839
Speaker 1: news there, did he No, But you can tell he's

795
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,960
Speaker 1: he's pretty optimistice and and there's no question he's got

796
00:36:40,040 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: to feel completely different than he did a year ago

797
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,160
Speaker 1: at this time taking the number one reps. And he

798
00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 1: mentioned it early in that interview about how different it

799
00:36:47,520 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 1: is just stepping up and when you know we're going

800
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,879
Speaker 1: to really practice what we're doing. I'm the first guy

801
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,080
Speaker 1: in and taking all those reps and getting all that

802
00:36:55,080 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 1: experience and just playing at playing practice what he's going

803
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:01,759
Speaker 1: to be doing in games. It's kind to make an

804
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 1: enormous difference from him. Plus the fact that all this

805
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,600
Speaker 1: is not unfamiliar anymore, the offense in particular. Yeah, and

806
00:37:07,719 --> 00:37:10,280
Speaker 1: the part about you know, you gotta kind of remind

807
00:37:10,320 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 1: yourself sometimes where they were at a year ago. Right,

808
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 1: they had McCarron in here, they had Josh, they had Peterman.

809
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:19,759
Speaker 1: It was it was a pretty standard three way competition, right,

810
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:22,880
Speaker 1: a different guy would get first team reps every every practice,

811
00:37:23,200 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 1: which in retrospect looks crazy when you can when you

812
00:37:26,600 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: think about where Josh was drafted and how you know

813
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 1: how he came along last year, I think you'd have

814
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:33,880
Speaker 1: to remind yourself, like Oly Kyle a year ago, at

815
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,040
Speaker 1: this time, nothing that quarterback was settled. It was it

816
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:37,960
Speaker 1: was a huge question. I think there's any question now

817
00:37:38,040 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: in retrospect that's the reason they got off to a

818
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:44,160
Speaker 1: really slow start. Yeah, they didn't have a guy with

819
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 1: any cohesion with an offense. You know, I didn't know exactly,

820
00:37:48,200 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: you know, didn't know who was going to be who,

821
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,680
Speaker 1: because no question, even last year's competition, Josh was heading

822
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: shoulders inability above those guys. But they had some they

823
00:37:56,840 --> 00:38:00,960
Speaker 1: had experience on him, at least aj McCarron did. And

824
00:38:02,440 --> 00:38:05,359
Speaker 1: Peterman you know, as we all know, he practices really good.

825
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: So he was just sitting there watching for a lot

826
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:11,359
Speaker 1: of it. And that I don't think there's any question

827
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:13,320
Speaker 1: it contributed to this low start the team got off to.

828
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 1: And and it's and start contrast, isn't the way it

829
00:38:17,360 --> 00:38:19,279
Speaker 1: must be this year for Josh. This has got to

830
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,880
Speaker 1: be an entirely new atmosphere, not only for Josh himself,

831
00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 1: but also in and around the offensive huddle. Got a

832
00:38:25,040 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: Twitter poll up and running today here from Bills training camp.

833
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:30,200
Speaker 1: What's the biggest question mark for the Bills as camp

834
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:32,600
Speaker 1: gets underway? The kind of a rehash of the issues

835
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,839
Speaker 1: we've talked about for months here, but now the camp

836
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:36,520
Speaker 1: is here, and wanted to know from you what you think.

837
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:39,560
Speaker 1: Four hundred sixty nine votes can't so far, the biggest

838
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:41,880
Speaker 1: question mark for the Bills is camp gets underway. Fifty

839
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,880
Speaker 1: seven percent of you say it is who's going to

840
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 1: be the starters at the offensive line? Sixty two percent

841
00:38:46,719 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 1: that is wide receiver pecking order, fifteen percent wonder about that?

842
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: Used to the running back? Sixteen percent of you wonder

843
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:55,080
Speaker 1: about that, six percent have something else in mind. Let's

844
00:38:55,120 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: know what you think eight oh three oh five fifty

845
00:38:56,960 --> 00:38:59,759
Speaker 1: and toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

846
00:38:59,800 --> 00:39:02,640
Speaker 1: fifty sending a tweet voting the Twitter poll would be

847
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:04,959
Speaker 1: happy to discuss. Jeff on the line from right around

848
00:39:04,960 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: the corner in Pittsford. Hello, Jeff, thanks for tuning in.

849
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:12,319
Speaker 1: Good morning, good afternoon, Hi, good afternoon, Jeff. Yeah, all right,

850
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 1: that's good. Yeah, I was good to see you this,

851
00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 1: Jeff your hand outside the stadium, Oh excellent. Yeah, we

852
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 1: were here, Yeah, we're still here. I decided to go

853
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: and watch the kickers in the back instead of just

854
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 1: bickers practice in the front. And I think that's what

855
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:32,959
Speaker 1: I'm concerned about, is who's going to be playing because

856
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:36,960
Speaker 1: our special teams obviously needs help and we need healthy kickers.

857
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:41,000
Speaker 1: So with any luck, we'll have a Corey be the punchers,

858
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:43,520
Speaker 1: that's for sure, but I'm not sure which one. Yeah,

859
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: both good and his house money always, but he's got

860
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: competition this year, so I'm very glad to see that too.

861
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:54,400
Speaker 1: So hopefully our special teams will rise to the occasion

862
00:39:54,480 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 1: and improved drastically frustrating and they need improvement. It realize

863
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:05,040
Speaker 1: it was watching game and watch the defense be put

864
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,160
Speaker 1: in a position where, uh, they had to come up

865
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: big because of special teams didn't. Yeah, and you got

866
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: to think too, that's that's that was a drag at

867
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,200
Speaker 1: the very least on the productivity of the of the

868
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: offense and the fact that the offense struggled to move

869
00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:24,560
Speaker 1: the football and led the league in three and outs,

870
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: and then also that their special teams couldn't dominate in

871
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 1: a field positions sort of way, and that you know,

872
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:33,040
Speaker 1: it's amazing that the defense was able to have the

873
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:35,640
Speaker 1: kind of statistical season and the ranking at the end

874
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:40,120
Speaker 1: of the year that it did given those those two matters. Certainly,

875
00:40:40,160 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: Houshka's injury late in the years started to hamper him

876
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:44,319
Speaker 1: a little more, and the injuries of the punished by

877
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,480
Speaker 1: Orkes couldn't finish the year um and you know, it

878
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:50,840
Speaker 1: started to show, there's no question about it, started to

879
00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:54,160
Speaker 1: wear on the special teams units. So yeah, I have

880
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 1: full faith in Steve Haushka. I think he's going to

881
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,680
Speaker 1: continue to be really good. And by Orkes, if he

882
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,400
Speaker 1: stays healthy, he's got a huge leg and what he

883
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:06,759
Speaker 1: really needs, like all young players do, is just to

884
00:41:06,840 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 1: find consistency. If he can do that, I think they're

885
00:41:09,280 --> 00:41:11,160
Speaker 1: special teams are gonna take a big league forward. We

886
00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,840
Speaker 1: haven't talked a lot about special teams, and to be

887
00:41:14,920 --> 00:41:16,279
Speaker 1: honest with you, to see if I don't worry about

888
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: it that much, I do think, you know, the new

889
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:21,920
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator will make a difference in terms of cohesion.

890
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:26,080
Speaker 1: I really think a lot of Corey Bojorkez, whom the

891
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 1: Patriots did too. They drafted him and in Houseki. I think,

892
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:32,280
Speaker 1: despite a couple of slips last year, I think Housekid

893
00:41:32,360 --> 00:41:34,040
Speaker 1: is good. I think he's really good. I think he's

894
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:37,359
Speaker 1: a perfect kicker for this franchise. So I don't worry

895
00:41:37,360 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: too much about special teams. And I understand why people might,

896
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: but I don't take a breakcare We're coming back for more.

897
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 1: We're coming in from training camp. It's One Bill's Live,

898
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,720
Speaker 1: presented by Kalata Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

899
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:00,399
Speaker 1: Welcome back. We're in our first hour of training camp.

900
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,640
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker, One Bills Live. We're here pretty

901
00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:06,480
Speaker 1: much when training camp is up and running on weekdays

902
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:08,600
Speaker 1: for the next couple of weeks. We'll be here right through.

903
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,880
Speaker 1: I think August seventh is our last day. Good day

904
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: be here, Steve. We had a nice chat on the

905
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,320
Speaker 1: on the drive down here, right scenic drive across western

906
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,239
Speaker 1: New York. We love it, We love it is a

907
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 1: nice drive. Yeah, I gotta tell you it's a good

908
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,080
Speaker 1: way to start the day. Let's talk a little bit

909
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:24,640
Speaker 1: about what went on here at camp, and we're gonna

910
00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:26,560
Speaker 1: get into this in Depth and one o'clock hour. But

911
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 1: one of the things that went on here in camp

912
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,560
Speaker 1: were news conferences by Sean McDermott and Brandon Bean to

913
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,560
Speaker 1: get things going. They were asked a variety about a

914
00:42:34,600 --> 00:42:38,680
Speaker 1: variety of topics. No real big news, but McDermott did

915
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,800
Speaker 1: talk about the first round draft pick and Oliver and

916
00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:44,280
Speaker 1: what he hopes and expects to get from Ed Oliver

917
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:47,239
Speaker 1: in his first training camp. Here's what Sean McDermott had

918
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:51,360
Speaker 1: to say about that. Yeah, he's a rookie, you know,

919
00:42:51,520 --> 00:42:53,720
Speaker 1: and this is his first real first day of practice,

920
00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,759
Speaker 1: of real practice, and it's a journey, so it just

921
00:42:56,880 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 1: takes some time. He'll have to go through really everything

922
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 1: that the rookies go through. UM, in terms of getting

923
00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:08,040
Speaker 1: themselves acclimated to the NFL, getting themselves acclimated, Um, there's

924
00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: a jump, you know, there's a gap between major college

925
00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:13,719
Speaker 1: football even and the NFL. So he's got a long

926
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 1: way to go right now. Sean McDermot and Oliver. I

927
00:43:18,440 --> 00:43:20,840
Speaker 1: have to confess I did not notice or make a

928
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,399
Speaker 1: point of noticing Oliver today. Did you do? You said

929
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,360
Speaker 1: we were looking at everything else today, looking at it offense.

930
00:43:26,400 --> 00:43:29,520
Speaker 1: I'm embarrassed to say, yeah, we're watching offense. I did watch.

931
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Speaker 1: I watched Tremaine Edmonds and Matt Milano today was well,

932
00:43:33,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: I was checking those guys out and watching it, and I, um, yeah,

933
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 1: I gotta admit that's that's where my focus was. I

934
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,240
Speaker 1: didn't really wasn't really watching the rotation of the defensive

935
00:43:41,280 --> 00:43:44,879
Speaker 1: line because for me, and I'm maybe this is because

936
00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 1: I played offense, those guys rotate in and out all

937
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 1: the time. Anyway, It's not like the offensive line where

938
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,440
Speaker 1: you got five guys and they go four quarters and

939
00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,879
Speaker 1: that's it. M D. Lineman rotate through and you're gonna

940
00:43:54,920 --> 00:43:57,279
Speaker 1: have to have eight good ones, uh to get it

941
00:43:57,360 --> 00:43:59,319
Speaker 1: done so well, and so At Oliver is gonna get

942
00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:01,839
Speaker 1: his chance no matter where he is on the depth chart.

943
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:03,719
Speaker 1: If you have a thought on that, give us a call.

944
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,399
Speaker 1: Phone lines open eight oh three five fifty toll free

945
00:44:06,480 --> 00:44:10,040
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Maybe

946
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:11,840
Speaker 1: you thought on our Twitter poll for the day, the

947
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: number one question for the Bills at training camp this year,

948
00:44:14,880 --> 00:44:16,879
Speaker 1: what do you think it is? On Twitter? Many people

949
00:44:16,920 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 1: think it's the offensive line. I get that. Sixty percent

950
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:21,400
Speaker 1: of you say who's going to start on the offensive

951
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:24,239
Speaker 1: line is the big issue. Eighteen percent say who's gonna

952
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,279
Speaker 1: line up at wide receiver? Eighteen percent say how are

953
00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:28,200
Speaker 1: you gonna use the running backs? We'll talk about that

954
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,240
Speaker 1: in the hour coming up. We'll talk with Mitch Morse,

955
00:44:31,360 --> 00:44:33,839
Speaker 1: Bill's new starting center. In the hour coming up, come

956
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 1: on back where one hour in two hours to go.

957

Speaker 1: It is one Bills Live coming to your life from

958
00:44:38,440 --> 00:44:47,080
Speaker 1: Bills training camp on Buffalo Bills Radio. Hello, Bills Radio

959
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:52,759
Speaker 1: Networks Stories update. The update from Bill's training camp Day

960
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: one is in the books. The Buffalo Bills on the

961
00:44:55,400 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 1: field for about an hour and forty five minutes here

962
00:44:57,440 --> 00:45:01,279
Speaker 1: today and practice. Send it about eleven. I'm sorry about

963
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: ten thirty eleven o'clock or so. They are done for

964
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:06,360
Speaker 1: the first day. Frank Gore came off the non football

965
00:45:06,400 --> 00:45:09,000
Speaker 1: injury list. He is back. Frank Gore, running back who

966
00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: was on non football injury, passed his physical today and

967
00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 1: he comes off the list. And that's the update from

968
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: one Bill's Drive. John Murphy and I just you know,

969
00:45:16,200 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 1: nobody's interested. Yeah, I mean, we've got news we'll talk about.

970
00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:21,160
Speaker 1: There is what we're doing now. So yeah, thanks for

971
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:23,640
Speaker 1: the update, but let's get back. Thanks Okay, you go first.

972
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,640
Speaker 1: All right, here we go. Let's have who did you?

973
00:45:25,800 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 1: We had this thing we're gonna do during training camp today,

974
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: you and I we're gonna we're gonna try and get

975
00:45:32,280 --> 00:45:34,879
Speaker 1: a spotlight on a player. And today we were looking

976
00:45:34,920 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: at Matt Malano. Did you get a chance to watch him?

977
00:45:36,920 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 1: Did a lot? I did watched him. I watched him

978
00:45:39,280 --> 00:45:42,440
Speaker 1: a lot in uh the springtime workouts and kind of

979
00:45:42,480 --> 00:45:44,839
Speaker 1: resume that today, and he looks fine. I think if

980
00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: you were unaware that Matt Malano missed the time at

981
00:45:48,120 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: the end of the list year with the injury, you

982
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:52,239
Speaker 1: probably not notice it right the way he moves around

983
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: here today. And we'll see. It's it's one day of practice.

984
00:45:54,880 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: Will he needs some time off in between here to

985
00:45:57,480 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: kind of come back. We'll see. But I think he

986
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,919
Speaker 1: looks fine. I really think he looks fine after being

987
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:05,520
Speaker 1: not an injury of his the nature that he had.

988
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,279
Speaker 1: I had, you know, some knee injuries and some other

989
00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:11,480
Speaker 1: stuff that I dealt with during my career. It's really

990
00:46:12,120 --> 00:46:15,439
Speaker 1: I think this is probably kind of an emotional little

991
00:46:15,480 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 1: bit of an emotional roller coaster for Milano. He's got

992
00:46:17,960 --> 00:46:20,120
Speaker 1: he's got to really feel like man. I hope this works,

993
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:23,759
Speaker 1: you know, I hope I shall go pain free. And

994
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,440
Speaker 1: now I don't know if this is the case or not.

995
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:28,800
Speaker 1: But Sean McDermott and his news conference today said some

996
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: of these guys, you know, they were all healthy. They're

997
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:33,400
Speaker 1: all on the field, except for obviously like Jeremiah Cyril's

998
00:46:33,440 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: that kind of thing and and Tyler Croft, but he

999
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,160
Speaker 1: said some guys are on a pitch count. I would

1000
00:46:39,200 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 1: be interested to know if Matt Milana was one of

1001
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: the guys where they're kind of trying to keep an

1002
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:46,439
Speaker 1: eye on him. Obviously had a broken lower leg which

1003
00:46:46,520 --> 00:46:48,960
Speaker 1: ended his season last year, and he's been running on

1004
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:53,400
Speaker 1: it for now for months now. And to have him

1005
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 1: come back and bounce back, get on the field and

1006
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:57,600
Speaker 1: start running around actually playing football like he did a

1007
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:01,480
Speaker 1: year ago, it's probably there's probably a little bit of

1008
00:47:01,840 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 1: you know, apprehension as to how he feels and how

1009
00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:07,799
Speaker 1: he's probably feeling it out a little bit and making

1010
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:09,759
Speaker 1: sure it's a solid under him. He's probably he went

1011
00:47:09,800 --> 00:47:11,360
Speaker 1: through OTAs and did a lot of that stuff. I

1012
00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,839
Speaker 1: don't know that he's been excluded from anything once they

1013
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 1: started back in the organized team activities, but I was

1014
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:19,800
Speaker 1: watching him, and he looked confident. He looked like he

1015
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: was not bothering him. But it'll be interesting to see

1016
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,239
Speaker 1: if if if he's one of those guys that's on

1017
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 1: a pitch account. So you're right, and it might take

1018
00:47:27,440 --> 00:47:29,120
Speaker 1: a day or two before we see if Matt Milano

1019
00:47:29,239 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: gets a day off or you know, gets a team

1020
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: snaps off, we'll find out. Um. I often Milan's going

1021
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:37,560
Speaker 1: into his third year. He was a starter and an

1022
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,799
Speaker 1: effective player last year. But I do often find myself wondering, Steve,

1023
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:44,840
Speaker 1: what their expectations by day. I mean, the coaches and

1024
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:49,040
Speaker 1: personnel people, what their expectations are for Matt Milano. They

1025
00:47:49,160 --> 00:47:51,040
Speaker 1: know him, they know what he did in college at

1026
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 1: Boston College. They know about his rookie year, and they

1027
00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:55,839
Speaker 1: know how he you know, he made plays last year.

1028
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 1: He wasn't a consistent great playmaker, but he made enough

1029
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 1: to get your attention. And I just wonder. I know

1030
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:04,120
Speaker 1: fans have a high expectation level from Matt Malanna, but

1031
00:48:04,320 --> 00:48:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm not sure sometimes that I get that from the

1032
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:08,600
Speaker 1: coaching staff or from the personnel people, you know what

1033
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:10,800
Speaker 1: I mean. They know he's good, they're glad he's healthy,

1034
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:13,080
Speaker 1: He is a starter, and they expect him to start

1035
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:15,120
Speaker 1: and play well. But I don't know if they expect

1036
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:17,920
Speaker 1: him to be at a Pro Bowl level. What do

1037
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: you think what's the ceiling. It's an interesting question because

1038
00:48:21,280 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 1: he was a fifth round draft pick, and you're a

1039
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:26,200
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick for a reason. He's six foot tall,

1040
00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:30,520
Speaker 1: Number one, he's undersized. Certainly, he has good instincts. We've

1041
00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 1: seen that he hasn't knows for the football he and

1042
00:48:34,480 --> 00:48:38,080
Speaker 1: you think coming into a camp like this, and you know,

1043
00:48:38,120 --> 00:48:40,120
Speaker 1: there's two sides of it. Yeah, he's a fifth round

1044
00:48:40,160 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 1: they found him. He's a starter. He was playing really

1045
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:44,839
Speaker 1: well or as well, you know, better than we thought

1046
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,160
Speaker 1: he could last year before he got hurt. There were

1047
00:48:47,200 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 1: some people and I went back in double checked, and yeah,

1048
00:48:49,480 --> 00:48:51,920
Speaker 1: there were people saying, man, Matt Malone's having kind of

1049
00:48:51,920 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl year. He's really playing well. And I

1050
00:48:53,920 --> 00:48:57,040
Speaker 1: was like, okay, so it was actually reported by people

1051
00:48:57,080 --> 00:49:01,480
Speaker 1: who had that opinion. So then he come into this

1052
00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:03,640
Speaker 1: year and you got to think too that this is

1053
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: a team that's trying to get better and even though

1054
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,640
Speaker 1: he's an incumbent starter, and certainly it's going to take

1055
00:49:08,680 --> 00:49:11,200
Speaker 1: a lot for somebody to unseat him as a starter.

1056
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,600
Speaker 1: He's got to play well. This is a defense that

1057
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: wants to take a step forward. Certainly, they're depending on

1058
00:49:19,239 --> 00:49:21,239
Speaker 1: him their thing, and they've there's no doubt they've got

1059
00:49:21,320 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: him penciled in, inked in as a starter. But once again,

1060
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,920
Speaker 1: he get back to the thing. The reason he was

1061
00:49:26,960 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: there in the fifth round is because he's a little

1062
00:49:28,680 --> 00:49:32,080
Speaker 1: bit undersized. Now, certainly a playmaker, certain and he's had

1063
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:37,160
Speaker 1: a broken leg, But you think you still don't know

1064
00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:40,680
Speaker 1: exactly what's under the hood, right, Yeah, that's right. I

1065
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: still I don't know if I've seen the full extent

1066
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:44,880
Speaker 1: of what how Matt Malonna might be able to help

1067
00:49:44,920 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: this defense. Made some big plays last year, There's no

1068
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:49,719
Speaker 1: question about that, And I wonder is there more where

1069
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:52,520
Speaker 1: that came from? Is there even more from Matt Milano

1070
00:49:52,640 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 1: they could expect to get or is that it did he?

1071
00:49:55,120 --> 00:49:57,520
Speaker 1: You know, top outlets see him, see him, you know,

1072
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:01,440
Speaker 1: scooping up he seems scooping up fumbles that somebody else caused.

1073
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:04,520
Speaker 1: You see him making interceptions that somebody else tipped. You know,

1074
00:50:04,600 --> 00:50:06,640
Speaker 1: that kind of thinks. But but he's always there, He's

1075
00:50:06,640 --> 00:50:09,359
Speaker 1: always there to pick it up. I think they're very

1076
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 1: happy with him in the run game and the and

1077
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,040
Speaker 1: the other stuff that he has to do. Certainly we've

1078
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:15,040
Speaker 1: seen him in the passing game drop back into coverage

1079
00:50:15,040 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 1: and defend passes and that that stuff. You know. It's interesting.

1080
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: This is his third training camp. His first year, he

1081
00:50:22,560 --> 00:50:24,560
Speaker 1: didn't start right away and then kind of worked his

1082
00:50:24,680 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: way in right yeah, and then last year he was

1083
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:30,720
Speaker 1: playing really it seemed to have taken that step forward

1084
00:50:30,960 --> 00:50:33,840
Speaker 1: before he was derailed by an injury, an unfortunate injury.

1085
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,279
Speaker 1: So it is kind of interesting to think about Matt

1086
00:50:36,320 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: Milano because, let's face it, when he comes back and

1087
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: everybody said, well, if he's healthy, which you know, as

1088
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,719
Speaker 1: we've said before, a broken bone is what much better

1089
00:50:44,800 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 1: than a ligament damage toward ACL or something like that.

1090
00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 1: Everybody's like, Oh, he'll be back and he's gonna be fine. Well,

1091
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see whether that translates into another

1092
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:57,839
Speaker 1: step forward for him or or what we're gonna get

1093
00:50:57,880 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: out of him. But certainly, I think I's a guy

1094
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:04,280
Speaker 1: that you're still curious about because last year this defense

1095
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:06,560
Speaker 1: finished up really well. He wasn't there for the whole year.

1096
00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: He got thirteen starts last year got hurt in the

1097
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 1: Jets game down near the goal line. And uh, the

1098
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,440
Speaker 1: year before is a rookie year, he got five starts.

1099
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's kind of a latecomer to the starting lineup,

1100
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:20,520
Speaker 1: but I think an important player, and we had the

1101
00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:22,439
Speaker 1: spotlight Steve and I had the spotlight on him today.

1102
00:51:22,440 --> 00:51:25,279
Speaker 1: Will probably continue to shine the spot line on Melano

1103
00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,799
Speaker 1: as camp rolls along, because see how he holds up.

1104
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:29,480
Speaker 1: See if he is, as Steve said, one of those

1105
00:51:29,880 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 1: pitch count guys who doesn't get every snap. We also,

1106
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:34,279
Speaker 1: as camp rolls along this year, we're gonna name our

1107
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:37,200
Speaker 1: standout of the day. And Steve and I don't necessarily

1108
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,200
Speaker 1: have to agree on this, and we did not. Today.

1109
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 1: We had a couple of guys that each of us

1110
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:44,360
Speaker 1: were watching, and you picked a cornerback as a standout.

1111
00:51:44,400 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: You picked Ejaj Gaines made the pick during during camp

1112
00:51:49,480 --> 00:51:51,840
Speaker 1: during seven on seven or one on ones or no

1113
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 1: it was a team actually tipped interception. Yeah. The reason

1114
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:59,320
Speaker 1: that he caught my eye was because he's that's exactly

1115
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,040
Speaker 1: what he's gonna have to do. I think to stick

1116
00:52:02,120 --> 00:52:04,880
Speaker 1: on this roster. This at cornerback. We've talked about this

1117
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,080
Speaker 1: throughout the show. Yeah, Kevin Johnson, Tarn Johnson, Levi Wallace,

1118
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:15,359
Speaker 1: all opposite Tredavious White. There's a lot of ability over there.

1119
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:18,680
Speaker 1: And EJ. Gaines is another guy on that list, Derek,

1120
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,439
Speaker 1: that's gonna be one of the spots. And we talked

1121
00:52:21,440 --> 00:52:24,800
Speaker 1: about this in the show too, Murph. There's gonna be

1122
00:52:24,840 --> 00:52:26,680
Speaker 1: a handful of guys. It's like, Wow, I can't believe

1123
00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 1: he didn't make the team. EJ. Gaines is gonna have

1124
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:31,480
Speaker 1: to catch some people's eye to bust back into the

1125
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: lineup that he was such a such a huge part

1126
00:52:33,920 --> 00:52:37,440
Speaker 1: of two years ago. Yeah, EJ. Gaines with Steve's camp standout,

1127
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: I had a couple of receivers camp standouts for me

1128
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: today and I thought they were outstanding. To be honest

1129
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:46,399
Speaker 1: with you, wide receivers and guys that we haven't seen

1130
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 1: a lot of, and at least Cole Beasley we didn't

1131
00:52:48,080 --> 00:52:50,440
Speaker 1: see a lot of during the spring. He can't he

1132
00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: looked as advertised. He was my one, one of my

1133
00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:57,279
Speaker 1: two standouts, Cole Beasley and John Brown, but two new

1134
00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,879
Speaker 1: wide receivers, the two free agents. Let me talk about

1135
00:52:59,920 --> 00:53:02,560
Speaker 1: that a little bit. Cole Beasley, it's funny when we're

1136
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:05,279
Speaker 1: just watching some of the drill Steve, and you've ran

1137
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:08,480
Speaker 1: these drills before, the wide receiver drills where it's quick

1138
00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:12,200
Speaker 1: footwork and quick cuts and getting through, you know, a

1139
00:53:12,280 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 1: couple of obstacles and getting into your cut as quick

1140
00:53:14,160 --> 00:53:16,760
Speaker 1: as you can. And there was a marked difference between

1141
00:53:16,840 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: the veterans like Cole Beasley and John Brown and some

1142
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,440
Speaker 1: of the younger guys. And the only I made a

1143
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:24,400
Speaker 1: note that I made in my notes, just smooth. Beasley

1144
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:27,120
Speaker 1: and Brown were just smooth getting through their cuts, you know,

1145
00:53:27,239 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 1: and they're nice sharp cuts, and they can all do that.

1146
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:33,280
Speaker 1: Some guys it takes you know, three or four steps

1147
00:53:33,320 --> 00:53:37,440
Speaker 1: I get into the cut. Beasley and John Brown are

1148
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:39,520
Speaker 1: into it like one cut and they're into it. And

1149
00:53:39,600 --> 00:53:43,239
Speaker 1: that's a difference of experience. I think it's an athletic difference, right.

1150
00:53:43,320 --> 00:53:45,560
Speaker 1: There's a reason why John Brown and Cole Beasley have

1151
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:47,279
Speaker 1: been in this league and excelled in this league in

1152
00:53:47,320 --> 00:53:50,360
Speaker 1: the past. And I saw today those two. I'm not

1153
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: telling you either one of them is gonna catch seventy

1154
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,400
Speaker 1: five passes, but in practice today they were standouts to me.

1155
00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:57,800
Speaker 1: Beasley and Brown the head of the class when it

1156
00:53:57,880 --> 00:53:59,879
Speaker 1: came to the receivers today, I thought you could buy

1157
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:02,080
Speaker 1: margin and for me and we were sitting there talking

1158
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,879
Speaker 1: about it, and I was kind of walk you through

1159
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:07,759
Speaker 1: what I remember about doing those drills and what I

1160
00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:09,840
Speaker 1: looked for and what some of the you know, the

1161
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,200
Speaker 1: older guys just get it. And when you've got a

1162
00:54:13,280 --> 00:54:15,680
Speaker 1: young receiver who comes in and they they they're all

1163
00:54:15,800 --> 00:54:17,600
Speaker 1: they're all fast, you know, all these guys have got

1164
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,400
Speaker 1: some speed and some wheels, and they come in and

1165
00:54:19,480 --> 00:54:21,880
Speaker 1: they they start to plant their feet to come out

1166
00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,920
Speaker 1: of a break, and it takes them. And if you

1167
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:26,080
Speaker 1: watch it slow on film, which I've done a bunch

1168
00:54:26,440 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 1: over the course of my career, you watch them and

1169
00:54:29,239 --> 00:54:31,640
Speaker 1: that first step where they're not going forward but they're

1170
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:36,799
Speaker 1: trying to stop, and you count how many footfalls there

1171
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:40,320
Speaker 1: to stop to stop, and usually the young guys, it

1172
00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:43,080
Speaker 1: takes about five steps. It takes that one, two, three,

1173
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 1: and then real small steps pros take three. You take

1174
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:50,120
Speaker 1: one and then and then the second time that same

1175
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:54,800
Speaker 1: foot hits, yeah, you're out. And that's that is the

1176
00:54:54,960 --> 00:54:57,160
Speaker 1: difference between a pro and a kid who doesn't know

1177
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:59,880
Speaker 1: the technique. You've got to drop your hips and you

1178
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 1: can feel it too. During training camp had always come back.

1179
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:05,080
Speaker 1: You start to get sore as a wide receiver in

1180
00:55:05,200 --> 00:55:08,080
Speaker 1: your lower legs and your calves and your ankles and

1181
00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: your feet because there's so much pressure to stop so

1182
00:55:10,920 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: hard on those few steps. That's where the you know,

1183
00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 1: that's where the wear and tear comes, and it's that's

1184
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:19,400
Speaker 1: where you feel it when you're off the field and

1185
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,279
Speaker 1: all that. You know you're back in training camp when

1186
00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:23,839
Speaker 1: you've got those you know your lower leg muscles are

1187
00:55:23,880 --> 00:55:26,120
Speaker 1: really sore from trying to stop so hard. Those two

1188
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 1: were at the top of the list, though. Beasley and Brown.

1189
00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,440
Speaker 1: They had the techniques down, they were running the drills,

1190
00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: they knew what they were supposed to look like, and

1191
00:55:33,600 --> 00:55:35,680
Speaker 1: you could tell you could tell a couple of other receivers.

1192
00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: For some reason, you and I spent a lot of

1193
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 1: time and these were not necessarily standouts. We're just noticing

1194
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 1: things we're interested in. Duke Williams, the Canadian import, the

1195
00:55:44,640 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 1: CFL veteran, and he made a good catch. We're watching

1196
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:50,400
Speaker 1: is a ton of red zone work today. Duke Williams

1197
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:51,880
Speaker 1: made a good catch in the end zone when he

1198
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,239
Speaker 1: went up high and brought it down, got both feet

1199
00:55:54,320 --> 00:55:57,040
Speaker 1: down and we both said, good, that's what that's what

1200
00:55:57,440 --> 00:55:59,200
Speaker 1: that's why Duke Williams is here. That's what they need

1201
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:02,080
Speaker 1: from Duke Williams. But he wasn't consistent strong like that.

1202
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,800
Speaker 1: I thought there were a couple other times when you're like,

1203
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:05,759
Speaker 1: he was not one of those who made the good

1204
00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: sharp quick cuts like Beasley and Brown. He just doesn't

1205
00:56:09,200 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 1: have that kind of footspeed, I guess. But I thought

1206
00:56:11,080 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 1: he's an interesting guy to watch and if you try

1207
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,600
Speaker 1: to project a role for him, you'll see him making

1208
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 1: plays maybe in the red zone using his size what

1209
00:56:18,160 --> 00:56:20,759
Speaker 1: is he six too? And you'll also see some plays

1210
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: and you're like, he's markably the biggest guy out there. Yeah,

1211
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:26,959
Speaker 1: you know at that position. Zay Jones also is tall

1212
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:30,920
Speaker 1: like that they've got. But we were watching him just,

1213
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:32,960
Speaker 1: you know, to see how he acclimated and how he did.

1214
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 1: It was funny too, because I know he jumped off

1215
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:38,239
Speaker 1: sides and down close one time and Sean Germot point

1216
00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:40,000
Speaker 1: he had to run, he had to run to the

1217
00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,320
Speaker 1: other end of the field, touch the goal post and

1218
00:56:41,400 --> 00:56:44,400
Speaker 1: come back, mister Repp because he jumped off sidease he

1219
00:56:44,480 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 1: jumped off side. Yeah, uh, you know that kind of stuff.

1220
00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,680
Speaker 1: It all counts, no question. But I knew this too,

1221
00:56:50,920 --> 00:56:52,760
Speaker 1: and I was telling you this all the young guys.

1222
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,960
Speaker 1: They all think, man, their career is made or broken

1223
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:01,560
Speaker 1: by one play and the first practice of of training camp,

1224
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 1: and it's just not the truth. I mean, he's got it.

1225
00:57:03,760 --> 00:57:05,960
Speaker 1: It's a long, long trip. These guys have to take it,

1226
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:08,200
Speaker 1: and we've got to watch and evaluate a lot of them,

1227
00:57:08,280 --> 00:57:10,399
Speaker 1: just like the coaches. Will one more receiver I wanted

1228
00:57:10,400 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: to talk about. And again, a guy who was a

1229
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 1: little bit banged up during the spring workouts, didn't get

1230
00:57:14,800 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: a full compliment of practices. And I didn't notice him

1231
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 1: much in the spring, but I noticed him today. Rookie

1232
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: undrafted rookie free agent David Sills, West Virginia free agent

1233
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,880
Speaker 1: rookie prominently mentioned and embedded if you saw that, how

1234
00:57:27,960 --> 00:57:30,840
Speaker 1: eagerly were to get him signed once the draft ended.

1235
00:57:31,200 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 1: And look, he didn't light it up today by any means,

1236
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,520
Speaker 1: but he stands out to me. We talked about Duke

1237
00:57:36,560 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 1: Williams says, David Sills has length, you know what I mean,

1238
00:57:39,720 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 1: He's long, long arms, long legs. Seemed to be running

1239
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: the right routes again, ton of red zone work today,

1240
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 1: they had like combination routes, a couple of receivers running

1241
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,400
Speaker 1: combination routes on the red zone, and that would be

1242
00:57:50,520 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: I would think where a young guy might be confused,

1243
00:57:53,280 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 1: not be in the right place. He seemed to be

1244
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:56,800
Speaker 1: in the right place. And with his long arms and legs,

1245
00:57:56,840 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: he seems like a guy who will have something to

1246
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,480
Speaker 1: say about receiving. Yeah, caught the ball. Well, he seemed

1247
00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 1: to be slippery and you know it seemed to be

1248
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:08,200
Speaker 1: running confidently out there as well. And uh and once again,

1249
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: he's a guy like Duke Williams, z Jones, one of

1250
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,480
Speaker 1: those guys that's got a little more body to go

1251
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:15,200
Speaker 1: up and get it in the red zone. We'll see it.

1252
00:58:15,280 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 1: But it's yeah, he's intriguing as well. You got to

1253
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:21,080
Speaker 1: know that one or two of those guys are gonna

1254
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,040
Speaker 1: be around and it's gonna be interesting to see which

1255
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:24,640
Speaker 1: ones make it. And I still feel like when you

1256
00:58:24,720 --> 00:58:28,280
Speaker 1: talk about Sills and Duke Williams, of the two we mentioned,

1257
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:31,040
Speaker 1: we're talking about the last one or two roster spots

1258
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,480
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. It's gonna be you can think Cole Beasley,

1259
00:58:35,320 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 1: John Brown, Zay Jones, probably a lot probably Andre Roberts,

1260
00:58:39,840 --> 00:58:43,040
Speaker 1: the return guy. Probably. Okay, there's five wide outs, right, four,

1261
00:58:43,200 --> 00:58:45,600
Speaker 1: there's four white outs, yes, four white outs in my

1262
00:58:45,720 --> 00:58:51,160
Speaker 1: public math and Foster and Foster, Robert Foster. Who you

1263
00:58:51,200 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: know what I gotta tell you, I did not even

1264
00:58:52,880 --> 00:58:57,760
Speaker 1: lay out I was gonna say I watched him. Um, yeah,

1265
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:00,440
Speaker 1: I watched him. There's nothing he didn't up out to me.

1266
00:59:00,480 --> 00:59:02,600
Speaker 1: It's not a camp standout. But that's okay. Day one,

1267
00:59:03,440 --> 00:59:05,600
Speaker 1: he jumped out of me when he's streaking down the field,

1268
00:59:05,680 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: you know, fifty yards down the field last season. We'll see,

1269
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:12,800
Speaker 1: we'll see how it works out. That is huge question

1270
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: marks there, not only which guys they're gonna keep it,

1271
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 1: what are they gonna use them for? Ye Are they

1272
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:21,280
Speaker 1: gonna go four wide? Are they gonna go three wide?

1273
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,800
Speaker 1: Two wide? They go five wide? I mean, it's it's

1274
00:59:26,240 --> 00:59:28,240
Speaker 1: what I do know is this that the current state

1275
00:59:28,280 --> 00:59:30,600
Speaker 1: of the NFL, they're gonna have all that stuff in

1276
00:59:30,640 --> 00:59:32,960
Speaker 1: the game. Uh, they're gonna have the ability to do

1277
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: that any on a week to week basis, whenever they want,

1278
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: and if they think they can get an edge with it,

1279
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 1: you can bet that they will. They will go five

1280
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:43,160
Speaker 1: A lot of double two tight end formations. Today saw

1281
00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,720
Speaker 1: some two and three tight white I mean tight end formations.

1282
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:48,560
Speaker 1: If you have a thought on anything we're talking about,

1283
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 1: give us a call full lines open eight o three

1284
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 1: five fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty

1285
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 1: two five fifty. Gonna hear from new starting center Mitch

1286
00:59:57,080 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 1: Morse at the bottom of this hour, and Chris Brown's

1287
00:59:59,520 --> 01:00:01,400
Speaker 1: gonna join in the two o'clock hours. Would come to

1288
01:00:01,440 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 1: you alive from training camp. People are gonna say, how

1289
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:06,320
Speaker 1: did Josh Allen? Look, let's talk about all the quarterback steven.

1290
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:08,920
Speaker 1: We watched most of the practice today. You and I

1291
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:12,040
Speaker 1: watched the quarterback drill and the accuracy drill that they

1292
01:00:12,120 --> 01:00:14,200
Speaker 1: do used to be they try to throw the ball

1293
01:00:14,240 --> 01:00:17,560
Speaker 1: in the garbage can. Now they have these newfangled nets,

1294
01:00:17,680 --> 01:00:21,840
Speaker 1: one with three rectangle squares. One is just kind of

1295
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:25,080
Speaker 1: a basket to catch a ball in for like fade

1296
01:00:25,120 --> 01:00:27,160
Speaker 1: passes in the end zone. And what was the third

1297
01:00:27,240 --> 01:00:30,479
Speaker 1: There was a third just one square. And we watched

1298
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:33,400
Speaker 1: that closely, you and I and and because for a

1299
01:00:33,440 --> 01:00:37,360
Speaker 1: couple of reasons, there are accuracy issues, questions about Josh Allen,

1300
01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,600
Speaker 1: how's he doing? He did okay? Hit some didn't make

1301
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 1: some I would say he hit the square fifty percent

1302
01:00:42,920 --> 01:00:45,600
Speaker 1: of the time. And these are short passes too, this

1303
01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,400
Speaker 1: drill today, these are you know, red zone passes, right.

1304
01:00:49,440 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 1: It sits from the middle of the field to the sideline.

1305
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,280
Speaker 1: It's from the middle of the field to the back

1306
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,920
Speaker 1: corner of the end zone. Yeah, from from throwing from

1307
01:00:56,960 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 1: about you know, the ten yard like dropping back to

1308
01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,960
Speaker 1: the ten yard line and uh. And they would take

1309
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:04,040
Speaker 1: three reps and then I think what was happening too,

1310
01:01:04,080 --> 01:01:06,880
Speaker 1: they dropped back, somebody would swipe at him with a

1311
01:01:07,160 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 1: with a bag, so they have to avoid the pass rush,

1312
01:01:11,640 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 1: step up, and then Ken Dorsey would tell them which

1313
01:01:18,560 --> 01:01:20,760
Speaker 1: net to throw it at and they would have to

1314
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 1: make that snap decision and then snap throw. And it

1315
01:01:24,600 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: was it was intriguing to watch because once in a

1316
01:01:27,760 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 1: while all three of them would throw one and it

1317
01:01:30,480 --> 01:01:32,560
Speaker 1: wasn't even close. And then once in a while they'd

1318
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 1: make a quick throw and it would be money. Yeah,

1319
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,160
Speaker 1: So it's Josh was the best of the three. Barkley

1320
01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: had a couple of good moments. Sure Barkley did. Barkley

1321
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,560
Speaker 1: throws the fade really well. Yeah. The thing about bar

1322
01:01:43,840 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Barkley is he's he doesn't have the big gun that

1323
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:51,160
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson and Josh allendus. He always has to throw

1324
01:01:51,280 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: with that anticipation. He always has to know where to

1325
01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,240
Speaker 1: go with the football a little bit before anybody else

1326
01:01:56,280 --> 01:01:58,640
Speaker 1: because you know, his arm is not going to overcome

1327
01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:02,880
Speaker 1: a bad decision. So he throws those fades. And he's

1328
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:06,280
Speaker 1: a very accurate passer as well. That's kind of his game,

1329
01:02:06,600 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: and it shows in those drills, and it stands out

1330
01:02:08,880 --> 01:02:11,480
Speaker 1: compared to Josh, who's got a rifle. I mean, he

1331
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:14,920
Speaker 1: just boom right. The arm strength certainly hit Yeah, stands

1332
01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:18,400
Speaker 1: out um and and Tyree. Tyree struggled in these drills.

1333
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,360
Speaker 1: I noticed this during the spring too. I thought he

1334
01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:23,000
Speaker 1: struggled trying to hit the U trying to hit the squares,

1335
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: the targets in this accuracy drill. Agree, Yeah, he flails

1336
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:30,040
Speaker 1: a little bit, but you know he is his arm

1337
01:02:30,120 --> 01:02:33,040
Speaker 1: strength is he is more like Josh Yeah, I mean

1338
01:02:33,120 --> 01:02:36,080
Speaker 1: he's he's the same kind of guy, big tall, rangy

1339
01:02:36,200 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: athlete with a big arm and yeah, and you know

1340
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 1: you gotta be accurate. So those are some of the

1341
01:02:43,280 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 1: things we saw today. Some of the standouts, some of

1342
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: the highlights are featured performer. The guy we watched the

1343
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: most of I think we tried to anyway, was Matt Mulano,

1344
01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,080
Speaker 1: just seeing how he's coming back. We got phone lines open.

Speaker 1: Tweet from John says, one big question is what impact

1356
01:03:25,720 --> 01:03:28,520
Speaker 1: Oliver will make at Oliver on both the run defense

1357
01:03:28,560 --> 01:03:30,560
Speaker 1: and the pass rows, two areas the Bills defense can

1358
01:03:30,680 --> 01:03:33,920
Speaker 1: improve on from last year. Good question. We've neither one

1359
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 1: of us noticed that anything great from at Oliver today

1360
01:03:37,840 --> 01:03:40,720
Speaker 1: day one, and I would see we'll probably see a

1361
01:03:40,760 --> 01:03:42,840
Speaker 1: lot of them as a camp rows along. Yere, I

1362
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 1: think youre going to see a lot of him, and

1363
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:45,520
Speaker 1: particularly I think you see a lot of them in

1364
01:03:45,560 --> 01:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the preseason games too. I think we're gonna get a

1365
01:03:47,400 --> 01:03:50,440
Speaker 1: chance to really get a load of at Oliver. I

1366
01:03:50,480 --> 01:03:52,080
Speaker 1: think they'll give him a chance to really take some

1367
01:03:52,200 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 1: reps and get some get some work done in those

1368
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to that a great deal. And yeah

1369
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:01,200
Speaker 1: so and even right now in these training camps, even

1370
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,919
Speaker 1: though it is there long practices, they get a lot done,

1371
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:10,040
Speaker 1: it's still not live football, and down inside, you never

1372
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,960
Speaker 1: know until you know they got to go live against somebody,

1373
01:04:13,160 --> 01:04:15,760
Speaker 1: and then you really have to compete at it to

1374
01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:17,360
Speaker 1: find out who the really good guys are. And I

1375
01:04:17,400 --> 01:04:19,080
Speaker 1: think Grant to wait for the preseason games to get

1376
01:04:19,120 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: a full dose of what at Oliver can do. We

1377
01:04:21,040 --> 01:04:22,880
Speaker 1: got Mitch Morse coming by the show in a couple

1378
01:04:22,920 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 1: of minutes, and we should ask them at you know, like, yeah,

1379
01:04:25,600 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 1: we'll get to a probably two or three days in

1380
01:04:27,720 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 1: they'll finally put pads on and it's a different practice.

1381
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 1: And for the lineman old line Andy Line. Also from

1382
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:37,160
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, this question Josh from Josh, go ahead,

1383
01:04:37,200 --> 01:04:39,480
Speaker 1: you got offensive line is the biggest question mark in

1384
01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: terms of starters and as it sits Morrison Dawkins or

1385
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,920
Speaker 1: the obvious start. There's a lot of new faces and

1386
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,520
Speaker 1: depth to sort through. We're going to talk to Mitch

1387
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: Morse about that, about what kind of huge issue it

1388
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 1: is and how many obstacles there are to stand between

1389
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 1: them and finding out not only who those offensive linemen are,

1390
01:04:56,080 --> 01:04:59,000
Speaker 1: but which positions they're going to play, And not only

1391
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,600
Speaker 1: who they are and what positions they can play, but

1392
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: what are their strengths and weak business? You know, what

1393
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:05,160
Speaker 1: are they gonna ask him to do? What can they

1394
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:07,080
Speaker 1: be able to do? And that all that stuff's got

1395
01:05:07,160 --> 01:05:10,120
Speaker 1: to be answered, and they're just this is day one

1396
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,400
Speaker 1: of actually sorting through it. I was looking at thinking

1397
01:05:13,440 --> 01:05:15,880
Speaker 1: about this a little bit at one play and as

1398
01:05:15,920 --> 01:05:17,600
Speaker 1: we said, tons of red zone today. There are a

1399
01:05:17,640 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: lot of runs from the red zone right Shady and

1400
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: Gore and Singletary. There was one run where they actually

1401
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:26,880
Speaker 1: went to the left. You may or may not recall,

1402
01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:29,560
Speaker 1: but they had Deon Dawkins kind of leading the way,

1403
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:31,720
Speaker 1: pulled the way out from his left tackle spot, and

1404
01:05:31,800 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the thought struck me. You know, people have questions about

1405
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Deon Dawkins. He's a good athlete. He can get out

1406
01:05:36,640 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: in front of these runs he can run downfield. He

1407
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 1: was downfield looking for linebackers to the chop, and I

1408
01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:44,120
Speaker 1: think that's might be Dawkins. One of his big strengths

1409
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:46,600
Speaker 1: is his athleticism, the fact that he moves really well.

1410
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 1: So on on one play a red zone it turned

1411
01:05:48,800 --> 01:05:51,040
Speaker 1: into a touchdown run for about seven yards out. Yeah,

1412
01:05:51,120 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 1: and that's it's huge. I mean most people, and that

1413
01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:58,080
Speaker 1: was one of the issues last year with the offensive

1414
01:05:58,160 --> 01:06:01,880
Speaker 1: line down inside. They weren't athletic enough. They couldn't get

1415
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:05,560
Speaker 1: guys to the second level. They couldn't release one guy

1416
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,960
Speaker 1: to go to another. They didn't you know, they couldn't

1417
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:10,600
Speaker 1: pass guys off in down inside because their feet weren't

1418
01:06:10,600 --> 01:06:15,160
Speaker 1: good enough. And so that, you know, Dawkins ability to

1419
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:16,640
Speaker 1: get out in front of a play like the one

1420
01:06:16,680 --> 01:06:22,200
Speaker 1: you just described and is why he's probably, well, not probably,

1421
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:25,200
Speaker 1: he's probably he's gonna be there starting left tackle this year, right,

1422
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:26,920
Speaker 1: I mean, because he's ability to do that. I mean,

1423
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:28,800
Speaker 1: the guys think he's locked in there, but I think

1424
01:06:28,840 --> 01:06:32,400
Speaker 1: he's okay. Yeah, I think he's got the the advantage

1425
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,560
Speaker 1: right now. It's his probably his spot to lose. But

1426
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: that's the reason why is because he can do that.

1427
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,080
Speaker 1: One more from this tweet sheet from Get on the Program,

1428
01:06:40,600 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 1: he says it's all for nothing. If Josh Allen doesn't

1429
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,480
Speaker 1: show up big time for a sophomore season, may I

1430
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,440
Speaker 1: got I'll tell you this much. Get on the Program,

1431
01:06:48,560 --> 01:06:52,000
Speaker 1: Thanks for checking in. Josh is showing up. He's gonna

1432
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,400
Speaker 1: show up. Is he gonna exceliz he onto the Pro Bowl?

1433
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Is he the franchise quarterback of the future.

1434
01:06:57,280 --> 01:07:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, But so far he will show up,

1435
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:03,400
Speaker 1: he will compete. He's already begun it. He sounds like

1436
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,520
Speaker 1: a leader. I mean we carried his news conference an

1437
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:09,600
Speaker 1: hour ago. He sounds like the and again perspective a

1438
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:13,919
Speaker 1: year ago. Josh was first round pick, competing for playing time.

1439
01:07:14,240 --> 01:07:16,680
Speaker 1: He's the guy, so to say. And I don't know,

1440
01:07:16,760 --> 01:07:18,360
Speaker 1: you're just trying to weigh in here, But if he

1441
01:07:18,400 --> 01:07:20,840
Speaker 1: doesn't show up, believe me, he will show up. He

1442
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: already has shown up. That's yeah. He's It's an entirely

1443
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: different atmosphere around him. There are entirely different expectations, not

1444
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,920
Speaker 1: only from me and Murph and the fans and the media,

1445
01:07:34,920 --> 01:07:39,320
Speaker 1: but I think Josh has big expectations for himself. I

1446
01:07:39,440 --> 01:07:41,040
Speaker 1: think the one thing that you got to that I

1447
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:45,000
Speaker 1: fall back on is, you know, this guy at times

1448
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:49,280
Speaker 1: really put the cape on last year and was playing

1449
01:07:49,400 --> 01:07:51,640
Speaker 1: hero ball. I mean, he was just pulling down. He said,

1450
01:07:51,640 --> 01:07:56,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna win this play by myself, and for unfortunately

1451
01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases he was forced to do that.

1452
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:01,400
Speaker 1: This year won't be that way, and it'll be interesting

1453
01:08:01,440 --> 01:08:03,640
Speaker 1: to see him make the transition from thinking he's got

1454
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: to put the cape on to using one of the

1455
01:08:06,240 --> 01:08:09,360
Speaker 1: tools that he now has, one being maybe more time

1456
01:08:09,440 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 1: to sit there and wait for an extra half a

1457
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:14,640
Speaker 1: beat before he throws the football. Or two he's got

1458
01:08:14,680 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 1: a guy that's actually getting some separation underneath and he

1459
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,800
Speaker 1: can make an easy throw and get the first down.

1460
01:08:20,920 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 1: Or three he's got a running game that's got him

1461
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,759
Speaker 1: in a third and one instead of a third and eleven,

1462
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,720
Speaker 1: and now he can just fall forward out of the

1463
01:08:30,800 --> 01:08:33,320
Speaker 1: pocket get the first down, to stay on the field.

1464
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,519
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting to see him start to play smarter,

1465
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:40,600
Speaker 1: less hero football but be more productive because of it.

1466
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:43,240
Speaker 1: And I think that's I think that's kind of where

1467
01:08:43,280 --> 01:08:46,400
Speaker 1: I'm at with him as hoping that that's, you know,

1468
01:08:46,479 --> 01:08:48,479
Speaker 1: the step he takes. Certainly, I like, I love it

1469
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 1: was great last year and he took off running and

1470
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,880
Speaker 1: I like hero ball. Yeah, it was great. It was

1471
01:08:52,920 --> 01:08:55,559
Speaker 1: fun to watch. But I think, you know, if you're

1472
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:57,879
Speaker 1: going to try and win games on a consistent basis,

1473
01:08:58,280 --> 01:09:00,439
Speaker 1: you know, he's got to do it the way the

1474
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,320
Speaker 1: game's set up to do. You gotta let your team

1475
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 1: play and give him the football. Josh schedule to be

1476
01:09:04,720 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: on the show with us tomorrow after practice. He had

1477
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,720
Speaker 1: a media news conference today and he talked about that.

1478
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:13,400
Speaker 1: One of the things he said I thought pretty prominently

1479
01:09:13,479 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 1: Steve was I gotta make better decisions. I mean, it

1480
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,400
Speaker 1: was like the first thing he said that Josh said

1481
01:09:18,400 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: when he was asked what he needs to be better

1482
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,479
Speaker 1: at this year, do better this year? He said better

1483
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,880
Speaker 1: decision making. So that's a good sign. Yeah, it's not

1484
01:09:24,960 --> 01:09:26,800
Speaker 1: like I gotta thread the needle. I gotta didn't see

1485
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:29,240
Speaker 1: I gotta be more accurate. I gotta make better decisions. Yeah.

1486
01:09:29,240 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 1: And he's also been quoted this offseason and he spent

1487
01:09:31,320 --> 01:09:33,439
Speaker 1: a lot of time watching his bad plays last year.

1488
01:09:33,520 --> 01:09:35,640
Speaker 1: And you know, of course the snarkbirds were out in

1489
01:09:35,640 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 1: the saying way it must have been a launch time.

1490
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:38,360
Speaker 1: You know, you know what I mean, it's all those

1491
01:09:38,600 --> 01:09:39,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. The guy had a lot of

1492
01:09:39,920 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 1: highlights too, and h it's hard and even in this business,

1493
01:09:44,200 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 1: it's hard to go back and watch yourself on film

1494
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:52,480
Speaker 1: not win or not play through and to dissect your mistakes.

1495
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,360
Speaker 1: M it's no fun. And to see him having the

1496
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: ability and the and the willingness to go back and

1497
01:09:57,479 --> 01:10:01,760
Speaker 1: spend time studying that stuff, that's a lesson. Those are

1498
01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,720
Speaker 1: really good lessons to learn and they kind of tend

1499
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 1: to stick with you when you see yourself making those mistakes, say, man,

1500
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 1: I got to do better. Can I bring up one

1501
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:10,920
Speaker 1: more play that we both took note of and so

1502
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: I won't be kicking off guard here. It came during

1503
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:16,240
Speaker 1: the red zone, the team red zone work. Matt Barkley

1504
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 1: found a guy in the end zone. He went up

1505
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:21,720
Speaker 1: high and got it. A short guy. He stands five

1506
01:10:21,800 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 1: to eleven. He's a rookie, undrafted free agent Nick Easley.

1507
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,840
Speaker 1: We both went to our roster cards. Who is eighty six?

1508
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:31,160
Speaker 1: It's Nick Easily pretty much a high priority. Again, a

1509
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 1: lot of attension on sales, but Nick Easily. He had

1510
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 1: one hundred and three catches at Iowa in his last

1511
01:10:36,280 --> 01:10:38,800
Speaker 1: two years here a junior college transfer, a walk on

1512
01:10:38,960 --> 01:10:41,400
Speaker 1: I believe did he walk on it? And he transferred

1513
01:10:41,400 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: to Iowa. Yeah, I walked down to Iowa. After two

1514
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:46,400
Speaker 1: years at community college. Nick Easley spent a lot of

1515
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,080
Speaker 1: time in the building during the six weeks when the

1516
01:10:49,120 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 1: players are off. Has had a lot of time playing

1517
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 1: catch with quarterbacks and made a really nice end zone catch.

1518
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 1: He went up high. He's not a tall guy. He

1519
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:57,840
Speaker 1: went up high and brought down that pass in the

1520
01:10:57,920 --> 01:11:01,120
Speaker 1: end zone. Yeah. He found around a vacant spot, made

1521
01:11:01,200 --> 01:11:03,040
Speaker 1: himself available, and then went up and got it, got

1522
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,760
Speaker 1: both feet down and no doubt about it. It was

1523
01:11:05,800 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 1: a it was a catch and it was a touchdown.

1524
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,280
Speaker 1: And he did everything you're supposed to do on a

1525
01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:15,760
Speaker 1: play like that. And it's instincts like that that kind

1526
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 1: of save the day when you're when you get into

1527
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: a tough spot on the football field and you got

1528
01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:21,639
Speaker 1: you need as much of that as you can get,

1529
01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:23,320
Speaker 1: and that guy needs a lot of that. He needs

1530
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:26,080
Speaker 1: You don't talk about him as a potential fifth, sixth

1531
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,320
Speaker 1: receiver round. Here's the thing, here's the unfortunate thing about

1532
01:11:28,320 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 1: being a young receiver. And altist remind all the football

1533
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:31,519
Speaker 1: fans out there at this is how it is. They

1534
01:11:31,560 --> 01:11:34,280
Speaker 1: probably a lot of people already know this. Nikki's is

1535
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:37,639
Speaker 1: gonna be watching John Brown and Cole Beasley a lot.

1536
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:40,439
Speaker 1: He's gonna be sitting standing back there watching Zay Jones

1537
01:11:40,560 --> 01:11:42,879
Speaker 1: run these plays a lot. He's gonna take an occasional

1538
01:11:42,920 --> 01:11:44,920
Speaker 1: rep no question about him. He's gonna be watching a lot.

1539
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:46,960
Speaker 1: And then when they get to the preseason games, he'll

1540
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 1: have every play. He'll be playing twenty five snaps and

1541
01:11:50,280 --> 01:11:52,840
Speaker 1: a half, right, and that's gonna be his thing. He's

1542
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 1: gonna have to stand back there, watch those guys run

1543
01:11:56,280 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: through it, get the play in his head, listen to it,

1544
01:11:58,240 --> 01:12:00,960
Speaker 1: and then run himself through that play. And when he

1545
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,040
Speaker 1: gets a chance, that's going to be his opportunity to

1546
01:12:03,120 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: make this team. In those games after having not and

1547
01:12:07,400 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 1: I remember this, you'll run through. He'll have a play

1548
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: called in the game that he's never actually run in practice,

1549
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:14,720
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be expected to know it, and that's

1550
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 1: gonna be his opportunity to make the club. And that's

1551
01:12:17,320 --> 01:12:20,599
Speaker 1: that's really a challenge for young receivers and young players

1552
01:12:20,640 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: when they get into the game after just having watched

1553
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:25,760
Speaker 1: those plays, never having run at themselves, and to go

1554
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:29,479
Speaker 1: up against a defense and execute it. Two weeks from today,

1555
01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:32,519
Speaker 1: first preseason game Thursday August, Indie, do me a favor.

1556
01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 1: Remind me when we talk that day we do the

1557
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:36,800
Speaker 1: show that day, who you got your eye on tonight?

1558
01:12:36,840 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: Remind me about Nick Easy. You're right, he'll be on

1559
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: the field a ton second. He'll probably play the entire

1560
01:12:40,760 --> 01:12:43,000
Speaker 1: second half that day. Yeah, those guys, and you know

1561
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: it'll be after. He'll probably play more football on the

1562
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: field in an actual game in the preseason that he

1563
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,519
Speaker 1: will on a practice field. Yeah, he'll go through all

1564
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: those individual drills and all that, but when they start

1565
01:12:53,720 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 1: taking rips, it's hard to get squeezed in there. When

1566
01:12:56,360 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 1: he got you know, thirteen wideouts, you know, and you know,

1567
01:13:00,320 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 1: and it might be your turn to take a rep,

1568
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:03,680
Speaker 1: and they got one wide out on the field, you

1569
01:13:03,720 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 1: know they got. Now they're going three tight one wide.

1570
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 1: Now you're standing over there, you get in behind six seven.

1571
01:13:09,240 --> 01:13:12,320
Speaker 1: So it's hard for young white House to do that.

1572
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:15,479
Speaker 1: But plays like he made today plays a good starts,

1573
01:13:15,560 --> 01:13:17,479
Speaker 1: good start start, all right. We are coming here from

1574
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 1: training camp, are happy to be here. We've got Mitch

01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:23,800
Speaker 1: be the starting center for the Bills. We know that

1577
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:27,240
Speaker 1: about the Buffalo offensive line. We'll continue our discussion with

1578
01:13:27,320 --> 01:13:29,680
Speaker 1: you the biggest questions of training camp. We'll do that

1579
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,559
Speaker 1: as the hour moves along. Chris bound going to join

1580
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:33,840
Speaker 1: us at too, but Mitch Morris when we return. Come

1581
01:13:33,880 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 1: on back One Bills Live from training camp on Buffalo

1582
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:48,559
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back One Bills Wide from One Bill's Drive.

1583
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:50,760
Speaker 1: John Murphy, Steve Tasker and a special guest in his

1584
01:13:50,920 --> 01:13:53,960
Speaker 1: first training camp practice with the Buffalo Bills, although his

1585
01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: fifth year in an NFL training camp, Bill Center Mitch

1586
01:13:57,040 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: Moore's welcome good. That's good, senior. I know talk to

1587
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:02,439
Speaker 1: you over the phone after you had signed your first

1588
01:14:03,160 --> 01:14:05,639
Speaker 1: practice here a training camp, and just the obvious question,

1589
01:14:05,720 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 1: how did it go? First day? What'd you think? Yeah?

1590
01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:09,400
Speaker 1: I think it was. You know, as first day as goes,

1591
01:14:09,439 --> 01:14:10,920
Speaker 1: they can go one way or another, whether you know,

1592
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:13,640
Speaker 1: whether it be kind of lackadaisical and sluggish or you

1593
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:16,200
Speaker 1: can't come out firing all cylinders. And you know, coach

1594
01:14:16,240 --> 01:14:19,320
Speaker 1: put us in a position where we immediately did some uh,

1595
01:14:19,479 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 1: you know situations, whether it be red zone two minute,

1596
01:14:21,960 --> 01:14:23,680
Speaker 1: what that does? It gets you just enveloped in it,

1597
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:26,240
Speaker 1: and U for us, I think, you know, there's some

1598
01:14:26,320 --> 01:14:28,560
Speaker 1: rust we definitely knocked off. There's some little nuances that

1599
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:30,360
Speaker 1: we can work on. But for the most part, I

1600
01:14:30,400 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: thought we did a really good job to coming out

1601
01:14:31,880 --> 01:14:34,040
Speaker 1: and tag them. And of course the big question is

1602
01:14:34,120 --> 01:14:36,840
Speaker 1: you come in, there's a bunch of new guys from

1603
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,320
Speaker 1: last year's a lot of probably a new starting four

1604
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: or five, including yourself. How long do you think that's

1605
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:44,439
Speaker 1: going to take to start sorting through because they not

1606
01:14:44,479 --> 01:14:46,080
Speaker 1: only have to find guys that can play, they also

1607
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:47,800
Speaker 1: got to have five guys that can play together, and

1608
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:50,200
Speaker 1: they those guys got to get to know each other. Yeah,

1609
01:14:50,240 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 1: I think that's a that's a great question. You know.

1610
01:14:52,439 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: We we do that by getting repetitions, you know, whether

1611
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:57,800
Speaker 1: it be walkthroughs or practices, and taking each of those

1612
01:14:57,840 --> 01:14:59,880
Speaker 1: reps like a practice rep because you only get some

1613
01:15:00,080 --> 01:15:02,720
Speaker 1: reps out here, right, So as cliche as that is,

1614
01:15:02,840 --> 01:15:04,960
Speaker 1: it's it's the truth. You know. We gotta you gotta

1615
01:15:04,960 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: capitalize everything to get done, and it's really hard because

1616
01:15:06,880 --> 01:15:08,680
Speaker 1: the reps are spread out over so many guys. It's

1617
01:15:08,720 --> 01:15:10,920
Speaker 1: not like he got five guys are gonna get in bulk.

1618
01:15:11,080 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 1: It's not like the quarterbacks where Josh, You're gonna take

1619
01:15:13,040 --> 01:15:15,120
Speaker 1: most of the snaps and everything else goes from there.

1620
01:15:15,720 --> 01:15:17,680
Speaker 1: They really do want to find the best five and

1621
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:20,439
Speaker 1: they got to try everybody in every combination. It's it's

1622
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 1: it's a race against time right now. It's a puzzle.

1623
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it's not panic, but it's definitely

1624
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:27,519
Speaker 1: you know, it would ramp it up a sense of urgency.

1625
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: That's that. That's the word I was looking for since

1626
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,680
Speaker 1: along those line. But Steve and I are watching and

1627
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:33,880
Speaker 1: I saw you jump right into red zone work even

1628
01:15:34,240 --> 01:15:36,280
Speaker 1: there was seven on seven red zone work, and I thought, well,

1629
01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 1: they've had this spring to go through all this, right.

1630
01:15:38,560 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not like it's brand new, like you're

1631
01:15:40,400 --> 01:15:42,439
Speaker 1: running stuff today that you haven't seen in the springtime,

1632
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,240
Speaker 1: right right exactly. You know, So we have these players

1633
01:15:44,240 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: are drawn, and we have notes that we took throughout spring.

1634
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:48,160
Speaker 1: And that's why it's so important to take diligent notes,

1635
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:50,880
Speaker 1: is that you have that's all you can have. You know,

1636
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 1: the CBI only allows you to have that as your

1637
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:55,600
Speaker 1: as your take back with home, so you look at

1638
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: it and then you kind of run into it because

1639
01:15:57,400 --> 01:15:59,560
Speaker 1: the meeting time we had was you know, not that

1640
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: much before you get on the field. So the kudos

1641
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:03,680
Speaker 1: to the guys, you know, taking care of business and

1642
01:16:03,760 --> 01:16:06,639
Speaker 1: being professional. Do you spot any early I know it's

1643
01:16:06,720 --> 01:16:09,600
Speaker 1: one practice. Any differences between what you became used to

1644
01:16:09,720 --> 01:16:11,760
Speaker 1: with the Denver Broncos first day of training camp in

1645
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: their camps, Well, I don't know how the Denver Broncos. Sorry, no,

1646
01:16:17,240 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: you're good, buddy. It's a great question. Um. You know,

1647
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:23,920
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher's is a lottle cooler and I know

1648
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,320
Speaker 1: that's not what you meant, but that does help a ton. Yeah,

1649
01:16:27,400 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 1: but I will tell you what. It's both both teams

1650
01:16:30,200 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 1: do a really good job of getting after it and

1651
01:16:31,880 --> 01:16:34,280
Speaker 1: getting to work immediately and not taking days to get

1652
01:16:34,960 --> 01:16:37,599
Speaker 1: you know sluggish and getting you know, slow into the motion.

1653
01:16:37,680 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: So we really jumped into it and it was great.

1654
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: I'll talk to us a little bit about the the

1655
01:16:42,479 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: atmosphere in the room. I mean there, like you said,

1656
01:16:44,600 --> 01:16:46,680
Speaker 1: there is a sense of urgency and particularly on the

1657
01:16:46,760 --> 01:16:48,360
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. What do you think the

1658
01:16:48,760 --> 01:16:51,080
Speaker 1: what's the mindset of your coaches on the offensive line

1659
01:16:51,080 --> 01:16:53,280
Speaker 1: and day balls as you kind of get undertake and

1660
01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,640
Speaker 1: you start undertaking all this they want to install, but

1661
01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:57,080
Speaker 1: they got a lot of things to find out. There's

1662
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,160
Speaker 1: just so much to do. Yeah, there really is. But we,

1663
01:17:00,200 --> 01:17:02,680
Speaker 1: like he brought up before, the OTAs did help a ton.

1664
01:17:02,720 --> 01:17:04,559
Speaker 1: It's not like we're learning this day one, so it's

1665
01:17:04,600 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: just reinstalling and you're re understanding and now getting the

1666
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,080
Speaker 1: little nuances of each thing. So yeah, absolutely, you have

1667
01:17:10,160 --> 01:17:12,080
Speaker 1: to take advantage of these these meetings. It's it's a

1668
01:17:12,120 --> 01:17:13,960
Speaker 1: no joke around period. You get in there, you get

1669
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:15,920
Speaker 1: your work done, and then you apply it to the field.

1670
01:17:16,160 --> 01:17:18,600
Speaker 1: Do you get the sense Mitch that and there are

1671
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:20,640
Speaker 1: young guys on the offensive line, are they looking at

1672
01:17:20,680 --> 01:17:22,439
Speaker 1: you like, how does mit chandle it he's been through.

1673
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,519
Speaker 1: Its very strange being the old guy. It's very strange. Yeah,

1674
01:17:25,720 --> 01:17:28,360
Speaker 1: you're talking about was like it's like it was like

1675
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:29,960
Speaker 1: yesterday I was looking like I didn't know what I

1676
01:17:30,040 --> 01:17:32,200
Speaker 1: was doing and still figuring out for you know, some

1677
01:17:32,320 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: of the parts. So it's it is interesting, but you know,

1678
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:36,479
Speaker 1: I'm not a big ride rod guy. Just kind of

1679
01:17:36,520 --> 01:17:38,599
Speaker 1: do my work and then hopefully they can figure out

1680
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:40,320
Speaker 1: how to you know, I'll help, I'll help them be

1681
01:17:40,360 --> 01:17:42,680
Speaker 1: professionals and how to acclimate with their time, because I

1682
01:17:42,720 --> 01:17:44,200
Speaker 1: think that's the biggest thing is you have so much

1683
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 1: time throughout the day. You know, a lot of it

1684
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 1: is spent with football, but utilizing the time we have off,

1685
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 1: whether it be taking care of your body or doing

1686
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:51,600
Speaker 1: this stuff you need to do in the classroom. How

1687
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,639
Speaker 1: do you guys evaluate your own expectations? Fans have theirs,

1688
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:57,080
Speaker 1: media as theirs. How do you guys manage and evaluate

1689
01:17:57,120 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: your own expectations for you know, your individual work, your

1690
01:18:00,439 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 1: side of the ball, and then as a team. Yeah,

1691
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's another I'll just ram off good questions. Man.

1692
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:09,400
Speaker 1: I think for us it's just we have the expectation

1693
01:18:09,439 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 1: to be great, but we know it's not going to

1694
01:18:11,280 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 1: come just because we want it to. We have to

1695
01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 1: work and work like hell every day, find the intrinsic

1696
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:18,120
Speaker 1: motivation to do it. And you know, we have such

1697
01:18:18,240 --> 01:18:21,120
Speaker 1: high expectations, but that doesn't mean we're gonna get there overnight.

1698
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:22,720
Speaker 1: And we know it's going to be you know, it's

1699
01:18:22,760 --> 01:18:24,320
Speaker 1: gonna take time and we have a lot of work

1700
01:18:24,360 --> 01:18:27,160
Speaker 1: to get done, Mitch, what were the considerations for you

1701
01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:30,280
Speaker 1: when it came to leaving the Chiefs coming to Buffalo.

1702
01:18:30,400 --> 01:18:33,120
Speaker 1: Obviously money matters, but there had to be other things

1703
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:35,479
Speaker 1: you looked at too, as far as the fit the

1704
01:18:35,520 --> 01:18:37,880
Speaker 1: group you'd be working with. Give us an insight into

1705
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:39,240
Speaker 1: what the kind of things you were thinking about me.

1706
01:18:39,479 --> 01:18:41,720
Speaker 1: You know, it is such a whirlwind, that free agency deal.

1707
01:18:41,800 --> 01:18:43,519
Speaker 1: But when, when, when it comes down to the nitty gritty,

1708
01:18:43,560 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: you do have to look at you know, where all

1709
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,920
Speaker 1: my family be happy? And Buffalo is so conducive to

1710
01:18:47,960 --> 01:18:50,439
Speaker 1: the Morse family and the way we handle ourselves and

1711
01:18:50,479 --> 01:18:52,720
Speaker 1: as a blue collar do your work good salt of

1712
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: the earth people, organization top to bottom, the family atmosphere,

1713
01:18:56,360 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: the Pagoulas and Coach McDermott and mister being created or

1714
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,479
Speaker 1: huge and I think to have a great team you

1715
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 1: have to have the building blocks of a family and

1716
01:19:03,680 --> 01:19:05,519
Speaker 1: loving environment. Because if you don't care for each other,

1717
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 1: then what's what's the point of going to war with

1718
01:19:07,400 --> 01:19:08,679
Speaker 1: each other? You know what I mean? So you don't

1719
01:19:08,680 --> 01:19:10,920
Speaker 1: mind asking that, how's that transition going for your family?

1720
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,840
Speaker 1: And are they here yet? Man? What's the plan? What's

1721
01:19:12,880 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: the schedule? Oh? I mean, so we we got we

1722
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,800
Speaker 1: got a place and uh the wifle you'd be here

1723
01:19:17,840 --> 01:19:19,840
Speaker 1: permanly in season, but you know, we're we're still kind

1724
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: of getting some stuff moved. But she's gonna be joint.

1725
01:19:22,200 --> 01:19:23,679
Speaker 1: You need someone to come home to, you know, because

1726
01:19:23,800 --> 01:19:25,760
Speaker 1: it's easy when the good times are good to bring

1727
01:19:25,800 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: stuff home. But when the when the bad times roll through,

1728
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 1: and you know, each season always eyes and lows c

1729
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:32,599
Speaker 1: the NFL, you need a rock to kind of come

1730
01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,840
Speaker 1: back to and just set your life straight and set

1731
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 1: your head straight. Where do you and your family? Where

1732
01:19:36,520 --> 01:19:37,680
Speaker 1: are you from? Where do you guys make your home

1733
01:19:37,760 --> 01:19:39,160
Speaker 1: in the off seat? Yeah, that's the kind of thing. Yeah,

1734
01:19:39,160 --> 01:19:42,360
Speaker 1: I'm originally I'm from Austin, Texas, Okay, Um, but we

1735
01:19:42,760 --> 01:19:45,599
Speaker 1: we set roots in Kansas City because her family's from Omaha, Nebraska,

1736
01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: and they're both retired and if kids come, which we're hoping,

1737
01:19:48,360 --> 01:19:50,800
Speaker 1: they will up in Kansas So I know, it's great.

1738
01:19:50,960 --> 01:19:53,519
Speaker 1: It's a great city. Uh. So that's where we that's

1739
01:19:53,560 --> 01:19:55,320
Speaker 1: where we've bought a house and we plan on stand

1740
01:19:55,320 --> 01:19:57,200
Speaker 1: there for a bit, but we're looking forward to making

1741
01:19:57,200 --> 01:19:58,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo at home for quite some time. You know what

1742
01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: I mean, Let me ask you little bit about your

1743
01:20:00,560 --> 01:20:04,000
Speaker 1: relationship with Josh Allen in his second year. Um, how

1744
01:20:04,120 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: much do you you part of your role, you know,

1745
01:20:06,240 --> 01:20:09,400
Speaker 1: keeping Josh comfortable, working with Josh, getting getting to know him,

1746
01:20:09,400 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 1: and getting him to plead to his his level. Yeah,

1747
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,640
Speaker 1: I think, Um, for me, he's he's got all the

1748
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 1: tools to be a tremendous quarterback, and for me, it's

1749
01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 1: just making it easier for him to use those tools,

1750
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:21,679
Speaker 1: you know. I mean, I don't want to be a burden.

1751
01:20:21,720 --> 01:20:24,160
Speaker 1: I want to be a helpful tool he can use

1752
01:20:24,240 --> 01:20:25,960
Speaker 1: and just kind of go out there and let him

1753
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: do what he you know, he's gifted to do, which

1754
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:29,920
Speaker 1: is play quarterback in the NFL. You know, he he

1755
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:33,080
Speaker 1: comes off, he's he's a young guy, really exuberant, you know,

1756
01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: he bounces around a little bit. He's got that kind

1757
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:39,879
Speaker 1: of that bubba kid personality. But he's he's a real competitor.

1758
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:42,479
Speaker 1: Do you feel sometimes where you're trying to peel him

1759
01:20:42,479 --> 01:20:44,400
Speaker 1: off the ceiling sometimes like we'll you know, take a

1760
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,400
Speaker 1: deep breath here. Is there any of that going on?

1761
01:20:46,479 --> 01:20:49,080
Speaker 1: Are you trying to you know, being being, for lack

1762
01:20:49,120 --> 01:20:50,800
Speaker 1: of a better word, the adult in the room. Yeah,

1763
01:20:50,800 --> 01:20:52,519
Speaker 1: it's a two way street. I mean, yeah, it's it's

1764
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 1: easy to lose your head out there if something goes wrong.

1765
01:20:54,720 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: You know, even going into year five, it's something that

1766
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:59,960
Speaker 1: you work on. So you know, it's a for us.

1767
01:21:00,000 --> 01:21:01,799
Speaker 1: This is a group. We have to be common collective

1768
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:04,800
Speaker 1: and then if you if you kind of emulate that, uh,

1769
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, it'll it'll emulate throughout the offense. So you know,

1770
01:21:08,800 --> 01:21:12,160
Speaker 1: Josh's young dude, but he's really has a command on

1771
01:21:12,240 --> 01:21:14,560
Speaker 1: this offense. Unless something goes wrong. You know, you have

1772
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:16,880
Speaker 1: your moment to be frustrated about it, but then it's

1773
01:21:16,880 --> 01:21:19,240
Speaker 1: just moving on. It doesn't mean don't be frustrated about it,

1774
01:21:19,280 --> 01:21:21,280
Speaker 1: but you know, have your moment for five seconds or so,

1775
01:21:21,439 --> 01:21:23,160
Speaker 1: then get frustrated and then come back to it later

1776
01:21:23,200 --> 01:21:25,720
Speaker 1: because if you let that snowball, it's it can be rough.

1777
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:28,160
Speaker 1: Steve here played on Bill's teams. It had almost a

1778
01:21:28,320 --> 01:21:31,880
Speaker 1: legendary center quarterback connection the Lake Ken holland of course

1779
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: the Hall of Famer Jim Kelly. That's the idea, isn't

1780
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,280
Speaker 1: it to get to the point where you guys operate

1781
01:21:36,360 --> 01:21:40,280
Speaker 1: as one unit, where you can communicate in game. Maybe Steve,

1782
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,439
Speaker 1: you've told series about Kent wouldn't even have to say

1783
01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:45,360
Speaker 1: anything and he'd get the message across the gym, right, right, right,

1784
01:21:45,400 --> 01:21:48,720
Speaker 1: I mean yeah, and yeah, obviously that's the optimum thing

1785
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 1: where the quarterback trusts you enough and what he's talking

1786
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:52,800
Speaker 1: about as our center would just turn around and shake

1787
01:21:52,880 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 1: his head and wave off the play, right, And this

1788
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 1: is this is a rock star quarterback. If I did that,

1789
01:21:57,920 --> 01:22:01,519
Speaker 1: Dable would have me right at homelike, right, But there

1790
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: has to be a let but there is for me.

1791
01:22:03,160 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 1: You earn that right, and it takes time to earn

1792
01:22:05,320 --> 01:22:09,160
Speaker 1: and theoretically everybody gets to a point where there's a

1793
01:22:09,360 --> 01:22:11,200
Speaker 1: level of trust on your roster where a guy can

1794
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:12,800
Speaker 1: speak up and they say, wait a minute, he might

1795
01:22:12,840 --> 01:22:15,519
Speaker 1: be right. And with all the new and moving parts,

1796
01:22:15,880 --> 01:22:17,600
Speaker 1: it's going to take some time to get there. You

1797
01:22:17,640 --> 01:22:18,960
Speaker 1: have to earn that right, you know, if you come

1798
01:22:19,000 --> 01:22:20,720
Speaker 1: in there and decide to do that, which is just

1799
01:22:20,840 --> 01:22:24,560
Speaker 1: not mymo right, Um, that's a that's just a I

1800
01:22:24,680 --> 01:22:26,559
Speaker 1: have no good word to say, but you know, that's

1801
01:22:26,560 --> 01:22:28,600
Speaker 1: just it's not what you do. Mistake exactly as a

1802
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 1: big mistake and uh, what's a mistake? Calling the shaking

1803
01:22:32,040 --> 01:22:34,320
Speaker 1: the place? Yeah, first of all, I don't half the time.

1804
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: I you know, I pretend like I know it's going

1805
01:22:35,960 --> 01:22:38,920
Speaker 1: on right No, I know we're on the air right now.

1806
01:22:39,479 --> 01:22:41,280
Speaker 1: Of course, yeah, no, I'll get help for it. But

1807
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:43,679
Speaker 1: the truth of matter is you have to build rapport

1808
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 1: with guys. Um you know, you come in. It doesn't

1809
01:22:46,160 --> 01:22:48,000
Speaker 1: matter the success you had before. You have to show

1810
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:49,560
Speaker 1: that you can still play ball. And I think that

1811
01:22:49,640 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: for me, it's a point of pride and it's something

1812
01:22:51,720 --> 01:22:53,439
Speaker 1: I'm gonna work on. One of the things we've been

1813
01:22:53,479 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: talking about is cohesion and how long I know there's

1814
01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:57,760
Speaker 1: no answer to this, but how long it might take

1815
01:22:58,160 --> 01:23:00,639
Speaker 1: to get that group up front as one unit. Today

1816
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,120
Speaker 1: it was for the most part, the first team Dawkins, Spain,

1817
01:23:04,280 --> 01:23:07,600
Speaker 1: you Feliciano and Florida front first teamers. And I'm not

1818
01:23:07,640 --> 01:23:09,360
Speaker 1: going to assume that's the way it stays all summer,

1819
01:23:09,479 --> 01:23:11,400
Speaker 1: But at some point you're gonna have to settle in

1820
01:23:11,479 --> 01:23:13,479
Speaker 1: with your group, right yeah, and right right now, sich

1821
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:14,840
Speaker 1: a good time where we get to mix and match.

1822
01:23:15,600 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: I think you know, the offensive line, it's a it's

1823
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 1: a unit. You want to get cohesiveness and reps with

1824
01:23:20,439 --> 01:23:22,760
Speaker 1: the guys. But you gotta find out who those guys are,

1825
01:23:22,920 --> 01:23:26,000
Speaker 1: and uh, we have a that's that's a problem for

1826
01:23:26,040 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 1: someone else because we have a really good offensive line

1827
01:23:28,080 --> 01:23:29,840
Speaker 1: and I don't. I really have no idea how it's

1828
01:23:29,840 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 1: gonna kind of hash out. And to be honest, it's

1829
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:34,280
Speaker 1: true because the more we talk about it, the more

1830
01:23:34,360 --> 01:23:36,720
Speaker 1: daunting that task seems to be. Because you want to

1831
01:23:36,760 --> 01:23:38,439
Speaker 1: find the best five guys. Now, some of these guys

1832
01:23:38,520 --> 01:23:40,920
Speaker 1: could play maybe right guard and left guard, right tackle

1833
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:43,800
Speaker 1: and let right guard whatever, and you mix and match.

1834
01:23:43,840 --> 01:23:45,639
Speaker 1: Plus you have a lot of moving parts, and you've

1835
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,920
Speaker 1: only got so many reps, right, and it's it really

1836
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 1: becomes an issue of time and reps and and then

1837
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: and plus I'm pretty sure you may play what twelve

1838
01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: plays in a game in a preseason, you know. If

1839
01:23:58,960 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: that you know, you know what I'm saying, and you

1840
01:24:02,160 --> 01:24:05,280
Speaker 1: don't know what's going to happen when it actually happens

1841
01:24:05,680 --> 01:24:08,360
Speaker 1: for real. And that's I just it just the more

1842
01:24:08,400 --> 01:24:09,840
Speaker 1: we talk about it, the more I say, the more

1843
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:11,479
Speaker 1: I think, Wow, I don't know if they can you know,

1844
01:24:11,880 --> 01:24:14,240
Speaker 1: how are they gonna do it? That's it's for it's

1845
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,280
Speaker 1: for people way up there to figure out, you know,

1846
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: it's it's a we have a very good unit. Yeah,

1847
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:21,320
Speaker 1: last question I have for you. It's day one, but

1848
01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:24,080
Speaker 1: it's also a short camp. I mean, we're only going

1849
01:24:24,120 --> 01:24:25,599
Speaker 1: to be here eight days. I think it's a couple

1850
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:28,320
Speaker 1: of weeks of training camp here in Rochester. So you

1851
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:30,680
Speaker 1: talk about urgency earlier. Does that add a sense of

1852
01:24:30,800 --> 01:24:32,920
Speaker 1: urgency to it? Like this is it. Let's let's get

1853
01:24:33,000 --> 01:24:34,880
Speaker 1: to work here in Rochester because we're gonna be back

1854
01:24:34,880 --> 01:24:37,280
Speaker 1: in Archerd Park before we know it. Absolutely, I think

1855
01:24:37,560 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 1: you have. You know, training camp such a necessary evil.

1856
01:24:40,840 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: No one looks forward to it and unless you're insane,

1857
01:24:43,720 --> 01:24:46,640
Speaker 1: but the truth of matters, it's it's so important and

1858
01:24:46,960 --> 01:24:48,599
Speaker 1: when when you figure that out, it makes it easier

1859
01:24:48,640 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: to come to work, and it makes it easier to

1860
01:24:50,920 --> 01:24:53,040
Speaker 1: dial into the details when you're tired and when you

1861
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:55,800
Speaker 1: know because day one's easy, Day one is easy training camp,

1862
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 1: it's really to can stack on those days and that's

1863
01:24:58,280 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: when camaraderie comes in. That's when you build the cohesive unit.

1864
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:02,800
Speaker 1: When it's the dog days, when I starts getting caught

1865
01:25:02,800 --> 01:25:05,080
Speaker 1: when we go to Carolina. So yeah, I think it.

1866
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:08,439
Speaker 1: The sense of urgency is the the kind of focal

1867
01:25:08,520 --> 01:25:10,400
Speaker 1: point of this whole training camp but not being in

1868
01:25:10,400 --> 01:25:17,040
Speaker 1: a panic. Great thanks for this than Mitch Morris joining us,

1869
01:25:17,080 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: builds a free agent signy from Kansas City. Steve and

1870
01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:22,040
Speaker 1: I backwamore One Bills Live from One Bills Drive on

1871
01:25:22,080 --> 01:25:36,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Thank again to Mitch Morrise for joining

1872
01:25:37,000 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: us on the show. A good guess, good guy way

1873
01:25:38,720 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 1: to get it started. Uh what fifth year in the league? Right?

1874
01:25:41,320 --> 01:25:43,080
Speaker 1: Have that? Right? Fifth or six? He's been to training

1875
01:25:43,120 --> 01:25:45,960
Speaker 1: camp with the Chiefs, not the Broncos. Duh. But um,

1876
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 1: it seems like nothing phased him. You know, Steve first

1877
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:52,360
Speaker 1: day here, and that's from being around in the spring obviously,

1878
01:25:52,439 --> 01:25:54,720
Speaker 1: but it seems like he has this down. He knows

1879
01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:56,920
Speaker 1: what to do, he knows where he's at. Yeah, and

1880
01:25:57,560 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: he is if if you you sit here and you

1881
01:26:00,600 --> 01:26:03,320
Speaker 1: watch his demeanor while he's talking and that you know,

1882
01:26:03,360 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 1: the articulate ways he spoke. He is a typical professional

1883
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:13,280
Speaker 1: football offensive lineman. Just nothing bothers him. Everything is a challenge.

1884
01:26:13,840 --> 01:26:17,479
Speaker 1: You gotta be cool and and calculated and just attack

1885
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,439
Speaker 1: it one day at a time. And that's what he's doing.

1886
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: And it's just just a prototypical you know, offensive lineman

1887
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,080
Speaker 1: in the NFL a guy that every play is going

1888
01:26:27,120 --> 01:26:28,560
Speaker 1: to be a challenge. He's got to step up to

1889
01:26:28,600 --> 01:26:31,320
Speaker 1: the plate and start knocking it out. Um, And you

1890
01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 1: know it's really uh, you know, for some things don't change.

1891
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,240
Speaker 1: You know, you get smart, smart athletes. Well, yeah, well

1892
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,479
Speaker 1: I wonder if this changed. They're just different people. But

1893
01:26:40,960 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: you know, I made the point about saying your former

1894
01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:46,320
Speaker 1: teammates Kelly and Ken Hall were so close and we're

1895
01:26:46,439 --> 01:26:49,559
Speaker 1: of one mind and and you, as you mentioned, Kent

1896
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: could change plays if he had to, And Mitch Morris

1897
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 1: was like, I'm not going anywhere near that. Is that

1898
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:56,000
Speaker 1: a difference in the game, the way it's played now,

1899
01:26:56,040 --> 01:26:57,840
Speaker 1: the way he coaches call a game sometimes, Yeah, I

1900
01:26:57,880 --> 01:27:02,000
Speaker 1: think that a little bit. I think it had. Yeah,

1901
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,360
Speaker 1: because Jim was calling the play and you gotta know

1902
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,960
Speaker 1: that if Mitch Moore's changed the plays, changing Brian Dables play,

1903
01:27:07,040 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 1: not Josh Allen's play, right, So that's a little different animals.

1904
01:27:10,040 --> 01:27:12,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, it was a little bit of difference. And

1905
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:17,320
Speaker 1: let's those plays in the Hall of Fames. Jim was

1906
01:27:17,400 --> 01:27:19,160
Speaker 1: calling his own plays and he was it was a

1907
01:27:19,240 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 1: kind of a field. It was an art form and

1908
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:23,920
Speaker 1: a feel and it was something that was Jim calling

1909
01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,680
Speaker 1: the play, but there were also contributors, like he could

1910
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:30,519
Speaker 1: make eye contact with Frank Reich on the sideline, or

1911
01:27:30,600 --> 01:27:33,360
Speaker 1: he'd make eye contact with Ted marcher Broto on the sideline,

1912
01:27:33,360 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, and they would have input with a

1913
01:27:37,520 --> 01:27:42,960
Speaker 1: signal or thing or whatever. And so they all had input.

1914
01:27:43,040 --> 01:27:46,400
Speaker 1: And of course Ken Hall and if he didn't do that,

1915
01:27:46,520 --> 01:27:47,840
Speaker 1: if he was calling the play and he said I

1916
01:27:47,920 --> 01:27:49,960
Speaker 1: got something I want to run, he'd say something and

1917
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,479
Speaker 1: he was looking somewhere over in like in the secondary

1918
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:55,000
Speaker 1: at the defense and thinking, hey, I want to run

1919
01:27:55,080 --> 01:27:56,800
Speaker 1: this play right now, and he'd start calling it and

1920
01:27:56,880 --> 01:27:59,760
Speaker 1: Kent would turn around and say, no, the front isn't right,

1921
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,920
Speaker 1: you know, say and he just he wouldn't say that.

1922
01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:05,680
Speaker 1: He just turned around, make a little lie contact with

1923
01:28:05,760 --> 01:28:08,400
Speaker 1: Jim and shake his head and Jim would say I

1924
01:28:08,520 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 1: got you and change the play. That kind of thing

1925
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:13,439
Speaker 1: happened a lot, but it was it was a different animal.

1926
01:28:13,479 --> 01:28:15,880
Speaker 1: It was because of the no huddle, because you know,

1927
01:28:15,960 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 1: when you when the play comes down from on high,

1928
01:28:19,240 --> 01:28:21,720
Speaker 1: you kind of do your best to run it when

1929
01:28:21,760 --> 01:28:24,800
Speaker 1: it comes from your buddy who's got his hands up

1930
01:28:24,840 --> 01:28:27,160
Speaker 1: against your behind, you know, it was kind of more

1931
01:28:27,200 --> 01:28:29,000
Speaker 1: a little bit less well, yeah, a little bit a

1932
01:28:29,040 --> 01:28:31,519
Speaker 1: little bit less carved in stone, you know. So that's

1933
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,600
Speaker 1: that's the way that worked. I got you. Hey, we

1934
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,160
Speaker 1: got a pretty good Twitter poll going and got a

1935
01:28:35,200 --> 01:28:37,280
Speaker 1: lot of responses, more than seven hundred forty so far.

1936
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:39,719
Speaker 1: What's the biggest question mark for the Bills A training

1937
01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:43,080
Speaker 1: camp opens today right now? The majority of you, sixty

1938
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,719
Speaker 1: percent say who's going to start on the offensive line?

1939
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,960
Speaker 1: That is the biggest question mark. Seventeen percent say what's

1940
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 1: the pecking order and wide receiver, seventeen percent say how

1941
01:28:52,600 --> 01:28:54,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna use the running backs? And six percent have

1942
01:28:55,080 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: something else in mind. We will talk about these issues.

Speaker 1: Chris Brown from Buffalo bills dot com was with us,

1998
01:31:41,160 --> 01:31:44,320
Speaker 1: a true insider today. You're right inside in the middle. Yeah,

1999
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:46,120
Speaker 1: right in the in the middle of things. I just

2000
01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:49,639
Speaker 1: had a flashback to uh is it last year? Okay?

2001
01:31:49,840 --> 01:31:54,720
Speaker 1: About um? Oh? Two years ago? No? Um Bolden? A

2002
01:31:54,880 --> 01:31:57,760
Speaker 1: classic Chris exactly where he was going? You missed it.

2003
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 1: I don't know exactly where was Donald Jones with us?

2004
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:03,479
Speaker 1: And was he on the set? You were? You got

2005
01:32:03,640 --> 01:32:05,439
Speaker 1: under my skin because you talked about him being a

2006
01:32:05,520 --> 01:32:08,120
Speaker 1: part time player. He was less than that. He was

2007
01:32:08,160 --> 01:32:09,720
Speaker 1: like a week and a half player. Well, who the

2008
01:32:09,760 --> 01:32:11,800
Speaker 1: hell knew he was gonna restire a week? It was

2009
01:32:11,880 --> 01:32:14,720
Speaker 1: a classic Brownie rant two years ago. I wish we

2010
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:16,559
Speaker 1: had a tape of that. You just went off about

2011
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:19,120
Speaker 1: a Quan Bolden better on the field, on first down,

2012
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:21,639
Speaker 1: on third down, and every down in between. Right you were.

2013
01:32:21,920 --> 01:32:24,200
Speaker 1: He was pontificing that it was one of his player

2014
01:32:24,280 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 1: participation from the year before was an indication it was

2015
01:32:27,120 --> 01:32:28,920
Speaker 1: one of the great stand by I stand by that.

2016
01:32:29,080 --> 01:32:30,680
Speaker 1: Oh right or wrong, I don't care. I just love

2017
01:32:30,760 --> 01:32:33,519
Speaker 1: your rant. That's what I'm saying. Can you can really?

2018
01:32:33,600 --> 01:32:35,400
Speaker 1: Who cares about? Right? Yeah? I don't remember if you

2019
01:32:35,840 --> 01:32:38,360
Speaker 1: people don't think. I just asked him, we get another

2020
01:32:38,479 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 1: rant like that out of yours, if possible, Brownie, how

2021
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:43,360
Speaker 1: many camps is this for? You? Can? I guess? Sure?

2022
01:32:43,840 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 1: Seventeen twenty three? Oh my goodness. Okay, but still I

2023
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:50,320
Speaker 1: did the last three at Fredonia? Okay, alright, you really

2024
01:32:50,720 --> 01:32:54,040
Speaker 1: did last been around that long? Wow? For the last

2025
01:32:54,080 --> 01:32:56,280
Speaker 1: three at Fredonia and then all twenty here. Well this

2026
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:59,200
Speaker 1: is what twenty twenty, twenty twenty number here? Yeah, so yeah,

2027
01:32:59,280 --> 01:33:02,519
Speaker 1: twenty for you. Welcome. Yeah? Are you having a good day? One? Yeah,

2028
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: it's good. The weather was great, a low humidity. Yeah,

2029
01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:09,120
Speaker 1: you can't beat this. It's unbelievable. It's it's and we've

2030
01:33:09,160 --> 01:33:11,200
Speaker 1: talked about this. This place has evolved over the course

2031
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:13,479
Speaker 1: of the twenty years that they've been here that you know,

2032
01:33:13,600 --> 01:33:15,880
Speaker 1: you really wouldn't even recognize it now if you if

2033
01:33:15,880 --> 01:33:18,479
Speaker 1: you parachute it in. There's new dorms, there's new buildings,

2034
01:33:18,520 --> 01:33:23,439
Speaker 1: the new practice facilities. But and the team's evolved pretty

2035
01:33:23,479 --> 01:33:25,400
Speaker 1: quickly over the last two and a half three years.

2036
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:28,960
Speaker 1: What did you see today if you if you if

2037
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:32,840
Speaker 1: you dropped in here from three years ago, how different?

2038
01:33:32,840 --> 01:33:36,720
Speaker 1: I mean, wow, right, you're comparing it to maybe the

2039
01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:40,240
Speaker 1: most disorganized coaching regime that we've had here in the

2040
01:33:40,320 --> 01:33:43,320
Speaker 1: last twenty years, to the most organized. So that's the

2041
01:33:43,400 --> 01:33:46,639
Speaker 1: thing that stands out. I mean, everything is regimented, it's

2042
01:33:46,680 --> 01:33:49,640
Speaker 1: to the letter, it's we move. I mean the transition

2043
01:33:50,360 --> 01:33:54,240
Speaker 1: between periods is it's like that there is no wasted

2044
01:33:54,280 --> 01:33:56,960
Speaker 1: time military person, there is no wasted time here. And

2045
01:33:57,360 --> 01:34:00,200
Speaker 1: that's probably what stands out. And you know practice is

2046
01:34:00,240 --> 01:34:03,120
Speaker 1: scheduled for two hours ninety five to eleven forty five.

2047
01:34:03,320 --> 01:34:06,280
Speaker 1: These guys are off the field at eleven because they're

2048
01:34:06,360 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 1: that efficient. They get the work done, you get out earlier.

2049
01:34:09,800 --> 01:34:12,760
Speaker 1: That's the reward, so you know there's an incentive to

2050
01:34:12,840 --> 01:34:15,439
Speaker 1: do it also. But the thing that stuck out to me,

2051
01:34:15,560 --> 01:34:17,840
Speaker 1: and I put this in our top three things to

2052
01:34:17,920 --> 01:34:21,240
Speaker 1: know for Day one of Bill's camp was the red

2053
01:34:21,360 --> 01:34:24,360
Speaker 1: zone thing that Murph mentioned in the update. It was

2054
01:34:24,479 --> 01:34:29,080
Speaker 1: red zone in every single team, period and seven and so,

2055
01:34:29,479 --> 01:34:31,000
Speaker 1: you know, I know fans might say, well, what's the

2056
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:32,840
Speaker 1: big deal, you gotta do red zone right? Well, yes,

2057
01:34:33,240 --> 01:34:37,720
Speaker 1: but usually there are some early basic installs on day one,

2058
01:34:38,439 --> 01:34:41,880
Speaker 1: day two, maybe even day three, and then they would

2059
01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 1: get into red zone or two minute and to jump

2060
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,439
Speaker 1: right in full bore and do it from start to

2061
01:34:48,560 --> 01:34:51,160
Speaker 1: finish every single team, whether it was a run period,

2062
01:34:51,200 --> 01:34:53,479
Speaker 1: it was in the red zone, passing game, red zone,

2063
01:34:53,600 --> 01:34:55,640
Speaker 1: two minute in the red zone, seven on seven in

2064
01:34:55,680 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 1: the red zone, start to finish. It was sending a

2065
01:34:58,200 --> 01:35:02,000
Speaker 1: message to this team that hey, we got to be

2066
01:35:02,120 --> 01:35:05,120
Speaker 1: better here. Yeah, because on offense they were sixteenth in

2067
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 1: the league last year and red zone touchdown percentage. In defense,

2068
01:35:08,320 --> 01:35:11,200
Speaker 1: they were thirtieth in keeping teams out of the end zone.

2069
01:35:11,240 --> 01:35:13,320
Speaker 1: That is not going to get it done if they

2070
01:35:13,400 --> 01:35:15,360
Speaker 1: want to go to the postseason this year. So I

2071
01:35:15,520 --> 01:35:17,880
Speaker 1: think it was a message and Josh alluded to it

2072
01:35:17,960 --> 01:35:20,720
Speaker 1: when I asked him today he said, no, Coach McDermott

2073
01:35:20,720 --> 01:35:22,519
Speaker 1: told us in the meeting last night, this is how

2074
01:35:22,560 --> 01:35:24,680
Speaker 1: we're going to start because this is important and we

2075
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 1: were just talking to more about this. I interpreted that

2076
01:35:28,200 --> 01:35:32,720
Speaker 1: also as an indication that they did pretty well in

2077
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:34,599
Speaker 1: the spring and they're ready. They don't have to start

2078
01:35:34,640 --> 01:35:37,160
Speaker 1: with basic stuff or start with install because they went

2079
01:35:37,200 --> 01:35:38,880
Speaker 1: over so much in the spring. It's like, boom, we're

2080
01:35:38,920 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: picking up where we left off. I think there's an

2081
01:35:41,160 --> 01:35:45,840
Speaker 1: element of that too. Absolutely. It's kind of interesting though,

2082
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:49,920
Speaker 1: knowing what a jumble the offensive line was in the

2083
01:35:50,040 --> 01:35:52,880
Speaker 1: spring due to injury and newness with a lot of

2084
01:35:52,920 --> 01:35:56,040
Speaker 1: new faces, that they did jump into periods just like

2085
01:35:56,160 --> 01:35:57,920
Speaker 1: that right out of the gate. So I think that's

2086
01:35:57,960 --> 01:36:01,400
Speaker 1: an indication of the level of confidence that the offensive

2087
01:36:01,439 --> 01:36:04,120
Speaker 1: staff has that the guys that they do have upfront

2088
01:36:04,160 --> 01:36:06,719
Speaker 1: can execute it. I talked to Deon Dawkins after practice

2089
01:36:06,760 --> 01:36:09,840
Speaker 1: today and I said, you got a new guy next

2090
01:36:09,840 --> 01:36:11,720
Speaker 1: to you again, because Quentin Spain missed most of the

2091
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:14,439
Speaker 1: spring because he had that thumb surgery after he popped

2092
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:18,519
Speaker 1: his thumb, and he said, to me, today felt like

2093
01:36:18,680 --> 01:36:22,519
Speaker 1: week three of camp. I was like, what he said,

2094
01:36:22,560 --> 01:36:24,360
Speaker 1: I said, why did it feel like week three? He goes,

2095
01:36:24,600 --> 01:36:27,760
Speaker 1: because everybody was on the same page. We communicated really

2096
01:36:27,800 --> 01:36:31,120
Speaker 1: well up front. Now, they didn't execute all their assignments perfectly,

2097
01:36:31,520 --> 01:36:35,559
Speaker 1: but the communication between one another, what's coming, who's combo

2098
01:36:35,680 --> 01:36:38,280
Speaker 1: in here, who's doing this, who's got back? You know,

2099
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 1: all that stuff they felt the pre snap communication was

2100
01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:44,280
Speaker 1: on point today and you probably have to point to

2101
01:36:44,360 --> 01:36:47,560
Speaker 1: Morris for a good portion of that. But to for

2102
01:36:47,720 --> 01:36:49,920
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins to say that a guy that's been here,

2103
01:36:50,160 --> 01:36:52,000
Speaker 1: you know, this is third year now, for him to

2104
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:54,240
Speaker 1: say that on day one, I thought was very telling

2105
01:36:54,360 --> 01:36:57,240
Speaker 1: as to where even though they may not know who

2106
01:36:57,320 --> 01:37:01,280
Speaker 1: their first five are, no matter who it is there,

2107
01:37:01,360 --> 01:37:05,120
Speaker 1: the communication should be okay. I got two things totally

2108
01:37:05,439 --> 01:37:09,400
Speaker 1: as a fanboy, Um, One what do you think of Josh?

2109
01:37:09,680 --> 01:37:12,280
Speaker 1: And two did anybody individual jump out at you? Who

2110
01:37:12,320 --> 01:37:15,160
Speaker 1: caught who caught your eye? John Brown was the best

2111
01:37:15,200 --> 01:37:19,760
Speaker 1: player on the field today, I think on offense. Best

2112
01:37:19,800 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 1: player on field on offense. Um, he flashed the most.

2113
01:37:24,560 --> 01:37:27,080
Speaker 1: That's probably the best way to describe it. He his

2114
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:31,400
Speaker 1: separation ability is evident. I think everybody knew he could

2115
01:37:31,479 --> 01:37:33,880
Speaker 1: run go routes down the field and beat pet beat

2116
01:37:33,960 --> 01:37:36,880
Speaker 1: defenses over the top, but watching him work in the

2117
01:37:36,960 --> 01:37:40,360
Speaker 1: red zone and get separation, you know, on out routes,

2118
01:37:40,400 --> 01:37:44,520
Speaker 1: crossing patterns, drag, whatever it was, he was getting separation.

2119
01:37:44,600 --> 01:37:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean he's ones against ones. I mean he's going

2120
01:37:46,880 --> 01:37:48,960
Speaker 1: estradavious quite a good portion of the time today and

2121
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:52,880
Speaker 1: he's getting consistent separation. Had a couple of touchdowns because

2122
01:37:52,880 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 1: of it. So he was probably the standout before you

2123
01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:57,280
Speaker 1: move on from him and Chris Brown is with us.

2124
01:37:57,479 --> 01:37:58,880
Speaker 1: If you'd like to weigh in, you can give us

2125
01:37:58,880 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: a call at eight O three by fifty and toll

2126
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2127
01:38:04,120 --> 01:38:05,960
Speaker 1: I'm John Brown. I picked him what do we call it?

2128
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:09,519
Speaker 1: Stand out at the spot. Yeah, he was one of

2129
01:38:09,600 --> 01:38:11,760
Speaker 1: my colby and you know why, Chris, see if you

2130
01:38:12,040 --> 01:38:16,719
Speaker 1: saw he moves smoothly and gets into his cuts so smoothly,

2131
01:38:16,760 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 1: and it's there's a definite difference between he and Colby's

2132
01:38:19,640 --> 01:38:21,479
Speaker 1: that I thought, and the bottom end of the wide

2133
01:38:21,479 --> 01:38:24,519
Speaker 1: receiver depth charts, even running the individual drills like making

2134
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,960
Speaker 1: sharp cuts smoothly without extras footsteps, you know what I mean.

2135
01:38:28,040 --> 01:38:30,360
Speaker 1: You can see that John Brown has played and played

2136
01:38:30,360 --> 01:38:32,080
Speaker 1: at a high level in this league for a while.

2137
01:38:32,080 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 1: You can see it today in this practice. Yeah, and

2138
01:38:33,920 --> 01:38:37,439
Speaker 1: he's He's a speed receiver that isn't blessed with tremendous size.

2139
01:38:37,479 --> 01:38:40,040
Speaker 1: So you have to be efficient with your footwork if

2140
01:38:40,040 --> 01:38:42,599
Speaker 1: you're going to be as successful as those six four

2141
01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:45,559
Speaker 1: guys that can just out jump people. You need separation

2142
01:38:45,640 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: if you're gonna make plays. Because he doesn't have the

2143
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:51,040
Speaker 1: seven foot wingspan or that, you know what I mean.

2144
01:38:51,120 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 1: He doesn't have the thirty six inch vertical, so he

2145
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:56,639
Speaker 1: better have separation. He better have good feet or he's

2146
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:58,120
Speaker 1: not going to make the plays that we saw him

2147
01:38:58,120 --> 01:39:01,040
Speaker 1: making today. So that was big. As far as Josh Goes,

2148
01:39:01,360 --> 01:39:05,000
Speaker 1: I thought he was okay. I don't think he was like, Wow, unbelievable,

2149
01:39:05,040 --> 01:39:06,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna light the world on fire. But I thought

2150
01:39:06,920 --> 01:39:11,840
Speaker 1: he was efficient. You know, he only had really the

2151
01:39:12,040 --> 01:39:15,559
Speaker 1: one bad play, which was this the fumbled shotgun snap

2152
01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:18,320
Speaker 1: which he had to run a penalty lap for um,

2153
01:39:19,080 --> 01:39:21,200
Speaker 1: but you know, and and one of his other passes

2154
01:39:21,240 --> 01:39:24,479
Speaker 1: got tipped ended up being an interception. But on the whole,

2155
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:28,439
Speaker 1: I thought he was good with his decision making. He

2156
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:30,679
Speaker 1: was wide on a couple of throws to Cole Beasley

2157
01:39:30,720 --> 01:39:32,080
Speaker 1: in the front right corner of the end zone, missed

2158
01:39:32,160 --> 01:39:35,000
Speaker 1: him twice Dabele called the play again and he missed

2159
01:39:35,040 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 1: it again a little bit later in practice. So it's

2160
01:39:37,320 --> 01:39:40,280
Speaker 1: the first day. I'm not sweating it. Um. I think

2161
01:39:40,320 --> 01:39:42,639
Speaker 1: he'll be fine in time. But that's kind of mine.

2162
01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,360
Speaker 1: How much do you think of Josh the improvement that

2163
01:39:45,439 --> 01:39:47,479
Speaker 1: you could see and Josh has to do with his

2164
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:51,000
Speaker 1: decision making and with the fact that you know he'll

2165
01:39:51,040 --> 01:39:55,040
Speaker 1: miss a is an inaccurate thrower. Well what do you

2166
01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:57,720
Speaker 1: what do you think the the balance is? Which one

2167
01:39:57,720 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 1: do you think is going to be more important than

2168
01:39:59,120 --> 01:40:01,599
Speaker 1: this training camp? Well, I mean I think they kind

2169
01:40:01,640 --> 01:40:04,360
Speaker 1: of go. They go hand in hand, because it's great

2170
01:40:04,400 --> 01:40:06,519
Speaker 1: if you make a great decision, but if you can't

2171
01:40:06,560 --> 01:40:09,559
Speaker 1: get the ball there with ball location, it doesn't matter.

2172
01:40:10,160 --> 01:40:12,800
Speaker 1: So one has to lead to the other. And if

2173
01:40:12,840 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 1: they don't go hand in hand, he's not going to

2174
01:40:14,560 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: have a high completion percentage. I think the realistic goal

2175
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:21,080
Speaker 1: for Josh this year is to have that completion percentage

2176
01:40:21,160 --> 01:40:25,280
Speaker 1: somewhere between fifty eight and sixty percent. He was fifty

2177
01:40:25,320 --> 01:40:27,479
Speaker 1: two and a half percent, give or take last year.

2178
01:40:27,960 --> 01:40:30,720
Speaker 1: He's got better weapons, He's going to be making more

2179
01:40:30,800 --> 01:40:34,800
Speaker 1: high percentage throws this year. Underneath, I think he's gonna

2180
01:40:34,800 --> 01:40:37,200
Speaker 1: make a ton of swing passes to guys coming out

2181
01:40:37,240 --> 01:40:40,439
Speaker 1: of the backfield. So with all of that in mind,

2182
01:40:40,720 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: also recognizing the fact that in the spring we saw

2183
01:40:43,120 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: a better ball location from him on the whole, I

2184
01:40:46,280 --> 01:40:48,280
Speaker 1: think the goal should be somewhere between fifty eight and

2185
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:51,439
Speaker 1: sixty percent. I don't think that's too lofty a number

2186
01:40:51,520 --> 01:40:53,840
Speaker 1: to shoot for for him in year two, do you think.

2187
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:57,160
Speaker 1: And I've been harping on this a lot this offseason

2188
01:40:57,160 --> 01:40:58,640
Speaker 1: because it was the last time we saw him was

2189
01:40:58,640 --> 01:41:05,360
Speaker 1: against Miami, completed over sixty five percent. Why was he

2190
01:41:05,439 --> 01:41:07,439
Speaker 1: able to do that well? I think there were a

2191
01:41:07,479 --> 01:41:12,840
Speaker 1: couple of things at work there. Number One, Miami was

2192
01:41:12,960 --> 01:41:16,280
Speaker 1: running for the bus. Certainly in the second half, if

2193
01:41:16,360 --> 01:41:20,680
Speaker 1: not the first half. It was evident. I mean, it

2194
01:41:20,840 --> 01:41:22,439
Speaker 1: was one of the biggest read I think it was.

2195
01:41:23,240 --> 01:41:25,240
Speaker 1: It was the final nail on the coffin of Adam Gates.

2196
01:41:25,320 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: Quite frankly, the way they did not perform for him

2197
01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:32,000
Speaker 1: in Week seventeen. That was very telling to me. But

2198
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:35,679
Speaker 1: to the credit of Josh, you know, you can't blame

2199
01:41:35,800 --> 01:41:37,800
Speaker 1: him for that. He was just taking what he was getting,

2200
01:41:38,240 --> 01:41:40,840
Speaker 1: and I think his decision making was the best we

2201
01:41:41,040 --> 01:41:44,280
Speaker 1: had seen to that point, and Josh referenced it today.

2202
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:48,160
Speaker 1: He said, I just felt like I was getting it

2203
01:41:48,400 --> 01:41:50,720
Speaker 1: those last couple of weeks of the season. He goes

2204
01:41:50,760 --> 01:41:52,920
Speaker 1: and then the season ended on us. Yeah, he wanted

2205
01:41:52,960 --> 01:41:55,240
Speaker 1: to keep going because I think he saw his game.

2206
01:41:55,600 --> 01:42:01,479
Speaker 1: His game went from improving incrementally to taking to find steps,

2207
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:06,280
Speaker 1: whether it was diagnosis of coverage, recognizing defenses pre snap

2208
01:42:07,240 --> 01:42:09,840
Speaker 1: who's got to be hot, making a pre snap check,

2209
01:42:10,400 --> 01:42:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, site adjust all of that stuff. It was

2210
01:42:13,520 --> 01:42:16,559
Speaker 1: coming to him in a way that he could digest

2211
01:42:16,640 --> 01:42:19,240
Speaker 1: it and then implement it in a game setting. And

2212
01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:21,800
Speaker 1: so you hope that that comes back to him as

2213
01:42:21,840 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 1: he gets through this preseason so he can kind of

2214
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 1: hit the ground running. We've said this all the way

2215
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,920
Speaker 1: through the offseason, and that you could watch him over

2216
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: the second half when he came back from the elbow injury,

2217
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:38,160
Speaker 1: you could see tangible differences in his game week to week.

2218
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:40,000
Speaker 1: And the three of us have seen a lot of

2219
01:42:40,080 --> 01:42:44,559
Speaker 1: quarterbacks come through Buffalo for this franchise, right, way too many,

2220
01:42:44,720 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: and they and some things just never changed with most

2221
01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:49,560
Speaker 1: of them. Yeah, they were the same guy that the

2222
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:52,759
Speaker 1: day the Bills released him, as they were when they arrived.

2223
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:58,640
Speaker 1: Not so with Josh Allen, right, correct, correct. You know

2224
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:02,760
Speaker 1: there's a part of me that wants to and I

2225
01:43:02,800 --> 01:43:04,400
Speaker 1: don't want to be an apologist for any of the

2226
01:43:04,439 --> 01:43:07,720
Speaker 1: previous guys that didn't work out here that were made,

2227
01:43:08,400 --> 01:43:10,640
Speaker 1: you know, draft choices by this franchise. But you think

2228
01:43:10,680 --> 01:43:13,560
Speaker 1: of a player like j. P. Lassman, for example, I

2229
01:43:13,680 --> 01:43:16,600
Speaker 1: think he had pretty He's probably the close example of

2230
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: a previous quarterback who had some of the same physical

2231
01:43:19,960 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 1: tools that Josh has. He could throw it a mile,

2232
01:43:22,720 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 1: he could run around and extend plays, but reading coverage

2233
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:30,680
Speaker 1: playing in a pro style offense just didn't. It never

2234
01:43:30,840 --> 01:43:34,000
Speaker 1: translated for him. He could not see it. EJ. Manuel

2235
01:43:34,200 --> 01:43:36,880
Speaker 1: another first round pick, a guy that had some pretty

2236
01:43:36,880 --> 01:43:40,479
Speaker 1: good physical tools, but when he got to the pro offense,

2237
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:42,599
Speaker 1: he just could not master it. Try as he did,

2238
01:43:42,720 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 1: and EJ unlike JP, worked really hard to try to

2239
01:43:47,080 --> 01:43:49,680
Speaker 1: master it, but it just did not manifest itself on

2240
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:54,400
Speaker 1: the field. And you say, Okay, those guys are you know,

2241
01:43:54,600 --> 01:43:58,160
Speaker 1: EJ's trying to get it or whatever JP's doing. I

2242
01:43:58,320 --> 01:44:00,920
Speaker 1: also think they were hurt by the lack of player

2243
01:44:01,080 --> 01:44:06,600
Speaker 1: development by those respective coaching staffs, And I think the

2244
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:10,360
Speaker 1: player development that this franchise has now is among the

2245
01:44:10,439 --> 01:44:12,400
Speaker 1: best it's had in the last twenty plus years, and

2246
01:44:12,520 --> 01:44:16,679
Speaker 1: it makes a difference. It makes a difference end when

2247
01:44:16,760 --> 01:44:21,280
Speaker 1: there is an absence of player development. Coach McDermott in

2248
01:44:22,080 --> 01:44:24,320
Speaker 1: just two short years, has shown he is willing to

2249
01:44:24,400 --> 01:44:27,400
Speaker 1: make a change. What happened with the offensive line last

2250
01:44:27,479 --> 01:44:30,479
Speaker 1: year they regressed right What happened at the end of

2251
01:44:30,520 --> 01:44:33,400
Speaker 1: the year. We made a change at offensive line? Coach,

2252
01:44:33,439 --> 01:44:36,519
Speaker 1: do we not? He doesn't wait. If he sees the

2253
01:44:36,600 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: team suffering, not only from a player perspective, but from

2254
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:43,880
Speaker 1: a player development perspective, he's changing it because he knows

2255
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:46,400
Speaker 1: in this day and age in the NFL, where guys

2256
01:44:46,439 --> 01:44:48,680
Speaker 1: get to their second contracts, sometimes you can't keep them.

2257
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:50,760
Speaker 1: You better have somebody else in the pipeline that you

2258
01:44:50,840 --> 01:44:54,920
Speaker 1: can develop and plug in to that spot because you

2259
01:44:55,000 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: cannot do it at every position. You're not you can.

2260
01:44:57,680 --> 01:44:59,519
Speaker 1: I mean it's great, you can say as much as

2261
01:44:59,560 --> 01:45:03,280
Speaker 1: you want, we want to draft well and resign our own.

2262
01:45:03,479 --> 01:45:07,160
Speaker 1: You can't resign everybody, so you better have good player development.

2263
01:45:07,240 --> 01:45:09,320
Speaker 1: So for those players that you can't afford to keep

2264
01:45:10,240 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: long term, you've got somebody else ready. To play and

2265
01:45:13,320 --> 01:45:16,360
Speaker 1: fill that role and has been properly developed while waiting

2266
01:45:16,400 --> 01:45:19,320
Speaker 1: in the wings. That's what this that's what this coaching

2267
01:45:19,400 --> 01:45:21,920
Speaker 1: staff has. Now we're with Chris Brown Bills Inside or

2268
01:45:21,920 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com as we kind of recap day

2269
01:45:24,600 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: one of training camping. If you have a phone call,

2270
01:45:26,920 --> 01:45:28,320
Speaker 1: let us know what you think. If you have a question.

2271
01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:30,599
Speaker 1: Drew on the line from Columbus, go ahead, Drew round

2272
01:45:30,600 --> 01:45:37,280
Speaker 1: the air with us. Hey, guys, how are doing today? Good? Okay? Um,

2273
01:45:37,640 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: I just was I just was thinking about, you know,

2274
01:45:40,880 --> 01:45:44,160
Speaker 1: like Chris just said about how good we've been, how

2275
01:45:44,200 --> 01:45:47,000
Speaker 1: he's seen we were looking for the since the past

2276
01:45:47,040 --> 01:45:51,160
Speaker 1: twenty years. Um. Yeah, I was just watching the Buffalo

2277
01:45:51,240 --> 01:45:54,800
Speaker 1: Bills history, the history of the Buffalo Bills, and I

2278
01:45:54,960 --> 01:45:58,439
Speaker 1: was noticing, you know, when Marv Levy came in and

2279
01:45:58,680 --> 01:46:01,280
Speaker 1: was the coach, how they already running into two minute

2280
01:46:01,360 --> 01:46:04,519
Speaker 1: drill and basically implemented that into their offense and start

2281
01:46:04,560 --> 01:46:06,280
Speaker 1: off the game like that. And I see how y'all

2282
01:46:06,280 --> 01:46:08,640
Speaker 1: was talking about how they started off practice with the

2283
01:46:08,720 --> 01:46:12,040
Speaker 1: two minute Drew and Rezon and Josh Allen talking with

2284
01:46:12,200 --> 01:46:13,960
Speaker 1: Jim Kelly and all that. I was thinking, maybe we

2285
01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:17,400
Speaker 1: can I'm seeing the similarity of bringing that back in.

2286
01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:20,479
Speaker 1: It's looking like, well, you know, it's about our time,

2287
01:46:20,600 --> 01:46:25,160
Speaker 1: and you know, I'm feeling real optimistic about the Bills. Yeah,

2288
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:26,639
Speaker 1: what do you I don't see that in the cards,

2289
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,080
Speaker 1: you guys, I think, well, and thanks for the call, Drew.

2290
01:46:30,160 --> 01:46:33,439
Speaker 1: But here's the thing you can you can know about

2291
01:46:33,600 --> 01:46:35,800
Speaker 1: not just the Buffalo Bills, but about just about every

2292
01:46:35,920 --> 01:46:38,479
Speaker 1: NFL team. They'll have that in the arsenal. They'll be

2293
01:46:38,520 --> 01:46:40,080
Speaker 1: able to go to that and say, listen, we're gonna

2294
01:46:40,080 --> 01:46:42,920
Speaker 1: go no huddle here, and you'll have specific rules about

2295
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:44,920
Speaker 1: what that means for the players and that kind of thing.

2296
01:46:45,840 --> 01:46:48,080
Speaker 1: But as to come out and do it four quarters

2297
01:46:48,240 --> 01:46:50,400
Speaker 1: all the time, I kind of don't. I don't think

2298
01:46:50,479 --> 01:46:54,280
Speaker 1: they're that that's going to happen, because there are things

2299
01:46:54,360 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: you can do to combat the no huddle offense that

2300
01:46:58,520 --> 01:47:00,840
Speaker 1: make it difficult to run. In one, you get you

2301
01:47:00,920 --> 01:47:02,880
Speaker 1: get a chance you can rotate your offense and your

2302
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:05,760
Speaker 1: defensive linemen in there. Another one is to just bring

2303
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:08,120
Speaker 1: more pressure. You've got to force the guide to make

2304
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:10,080
Speaker 1: quick decisions and get it out, and you can you

2305
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:14,600
Speaker 1: can blow up whatever expanded offense they may have in it.

2306
01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,680
Speaker 1: You can force them to contract it if you just

2307
01:47:16,840 --> 01:47:19,400
Speaker 1: bring extra pressure. There are certain things you can do

2308
01:47:19,560 --> 01:47:21,800
Speaker 1: to combat it, and teams will do that automatically when

2309
01:47:21,800 --> 01:47:24,320
Speaker 1: you start going no huddle too much, but makes no mistake.

2310
01:47:24,400 --> 01:47:26,880
Speaker 1: Every team, I would think, but has no huddle in

2311
01:47:26,920 --> 01:47:30,880
Speaker 1: their arsenal. Here is where I believe that element of

2312
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,920
Speaker 1: the offensive playbook exists and where we'll see its surface

2313
01:47:35,040 --> 01:47:39,439
Speaker 1: most under Brian Dable. Dabel comes from a school of

2314
01:47:39,520 --> 01:47:44,720
Speaker 1: offense where tempo change is a huge part of what

2315
01:47:44,840 --> 01:47:47,880
Speaker 1: the New England Patriots do. They see a personnel grouping,

2316
01:47:47,920 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: they can take advantage of. Bang, We're gonna go fast,

2317
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:52,160
Speaker 1: so you can't substitute. We're gonna get you in a

2318
01:47:52,200 --> 01:47:54,280
Speaker 1: bad personnel grouping, and we're gonna march you down the

2319
01:47:54,360 --> 01:47:56,680
Speaker 1: field and run at your dime package because you just

2320
01:47:56,720 --> 01:47:58,280
Speaker 1: put it on the field for the first time and

2321
01:47:58,400 --> 01:48:00,479
Speaker 1: not let you sub out, and we're gonna run it

2322
01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:03,800
Speaker 1: right down your throat. Or you're in base, we're in

2323
01:48:03,960 --> 01:48:07,200
Speaker 1: three you know, three four wide. You guys got linebackers

2324
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:09,640
Speaker 1: on the field against our slot guys. We're gonna keep

2325
01:48:09,680 --> 01:48:12,240
Speaker 1: you on the field and up the tempo. I think

2326
01:48:12,360 --> 01:48:15,800
Speaker 1: that is where some of these things that you know,

2327
01:48:15,880 --> 01:48:18,759
Speaker 1: we hear the players talking about, the coaches talking about.

2328
01:48:19,280 --> 01:48:23,840
Speaker 1: Under Brian Dable, he wants to have the freedom to

2329
01:48:23,960 --> 01:48:28,240
Speaker 1: be able to talk into Josh's headset and say they

2330
01:48:28,360 --> 01:48:30,679
Speaker 1: got based on the field, hurry, hurry, hurry, and then bang,

2331
01:48:30,720 --> 01:48:34,080
Speaker 1: they're going fast, going fast. They have play calls guys

2332
01:48:34,120 --> 01:48:37,160
Speaker 1: that they'll run during a segment of practice. They're one word.

2333
01:48:37,800 --> 01:48:40,600
Speaker 1: The whole play call is one word. And that's what

2334
01:48:40,680 --> 01:48:42,920
Speaker 1: they did in New England several years ago. They're doing

2335
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:46,000
Speaker 1: it here now. And I think it's designed to be

2336
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:49,200
Speaker 1: able to jump into a tempo change and go fast

2337
01:48:49,760 --> 01:48:52,880
Speaker 1: when they see an advantageous matchup on the field in

2338
01:48:53,000 --> 01:48:55,320
Speaker 1: terms of the personnel grouping at the defensive And just

2339
01:48:55,600 --> 01:48:58,439
Speaker 1: one more in Drew's question, I think versatility is where

2340
01:48:58,520 --> 01:49:02,080
Speaker 1: most proficient offenses are now, right right. We can go fast,

2341
01:49:02,160 --> 01:49:03,600
Speaker 1: we can go slow, we can go big, we can

2342
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:05,920
Speaker 1: go small, and those are the best offenses in the league.

2343
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:07,800
Speaker 1: Not only can you go fast and slow, but it also,

2344
01:49:08,040 --> 01:49:10,920
Speaker 1: like Brownie said, it comes down to the offensive coordinator

2345
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:13,880
Speaker 1: and the coaching staff. Quarterback coach, wide receiver coach, all

2346
01:49:13,880 --> 01:49:16,720
Speaker 1: the guys on running backs, coach, tight ends, coach and

2347
01:49:16,800 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: the old line coach. They're all watching the same film

2348
01:49:19,840 --> 01:49:22,439
Speaker 1: and they all come down to certain things. The offensive

2349
01:49:22,479 --> 01:49:25,040
Speaker 1: line coach or they listen, if this guy's in the

2350
01:49:25,200 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 1: if they've got this defensive front end and this guy's

2351
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:30,320
Speaker 1: playing the three technique, we need to run right at him.

2352
01:49:30,960 --> 01:49:33,200
Speaker 1: He is no match for our two guys, our guy there.

2353
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,760
Speaker 1: Same thing with the tight end. If they've got this,

2354
01:49:35,880 --> 01:49:37,720
Speaker 1: we've got this package, and we split our guy out

2355
01:49:37,760 --> 01:49:39,439
Speaker 1: and they bring this guy on our guy. If they

2356
01:49:39,479 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 1: spring this guy out on Croom or if they bring

2357
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,560
Speaker 1: this guy out on Dawson Knox, that's a win for

2358
01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:46,200
Speaker 1: us all the way across the board. The coaching staffs

2359
01:49:46,240 --> 01:49:48,719
Speaker 1: will say that about their guys, and the offensive coordinator

2360
01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 1: will use that information and they'll they'll exploit matchups. And

2361
01:49:52,280 --> 01:49:54,680
Speaker 1: that's a lot of what the NFL is right now.

2362
01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,040
Speaker 1: And we need to talk about Dawson Knox. Okay, because

2363
01:49:58,040 --> 01:49:59,960
Speaker 1: I want to talk about offensive line. Chris is really

2364
01:50:00,360 --> 01:50:05,920
Speaker 1: for only well really, no, really quick. I'm just gonna

2365
01:50:05,920 --> 01:50:10,840
Speaker 1: say this first team primary passing option tight end the

2366
01:50:11,080 --> 01:50:16,160
Speaker 1: entire day today, end him and Lee Smith twelve personnel

2367
01:50:16,800 --> 01:50:21,800
Speaker 1: almost exclusively. And maybe it's because Jason Crum is still

2368
01:50:21,800 --> 01:50:24,120
Speaker 1: coming back from the hamstring and they're monitoring his reps,

2369
01:50:24,640 --> 01:50:27,400
Speaker 1: but he did not see a lot of work today. Um.

2370
01:50:28,040 --> 01:50:31,240
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney saw more work than Jason Crum did today.

2371
01:50:31,479 --> 01:50:34,839
Speaker 1: So that leads me to believe that perhaps the hamstring

2372
01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: that Krum has is something they want to be careful with.

2373
01:50:38,479 --> 01:50:42,559
Speaker 1: But I think there's also an element of Dawson Knox

2374
01:50:42,640 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: got an extended opportunity in the spring. He impressed enough

2375
01:50:46,200 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 1: people where he is going to get an opportunity to

2376
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:52,800
Speaker 1: be a mismatch in this offense because he's detached an

2377
01:50:52,840 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 1: awful lot. They have some formations where he is isolated

2378
01:50:57,040 --> 01:50:58,960
Speaker 1: on that side of the field by himself with three

2379
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:01,360
Speaker 1: wide on the other side. There is going to be

2380
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: a role for him in this passing game sooner than

2381
01:51:04,240 --> 01:51:07,080
Speaker 1: people think. And hopefully he gets it in masters it

2382
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:09,160
Speaker 1: because he could really make a difference. Who's first round

2383
01:51:09,200 --> 01:51:13,240
Speaker 1: in Iowa tight end Winson. Yeah. Last week Jim Nagy,

2384
01:51:13,360 --> 01:51:16,000
Speaker 1: Senior Bowl director, right we're talking, were talking about players

2385
01:51:16,040 --> 01:51:18,280
Speaker 1: that he had at the Senior Bowl last year. Dawson

2386
01:51:18,360 --> 01:51:20,639
Speaker 1: Knox was supposed to go, had like a minor injury,

2387
01:51:20,720 --> 01:51:22,519
Speaker 1: did not go. But he said something that I told

2388
01:51:22,560 --> 01:51:24,679
Speaker 1: Steve about this last Thursday Friday, he's on our show.

2389
01:51:24,720 --> 01:51:28,400
Speaker 1: He said, we thought Dawson Knox had an equivalent skill set.

2390
01:51:29,600 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 1: He ran a four or five one. He's six four.

2391
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:33,840
Speaker 1: He didn't have a production four pounds. He ran a

2392
01:51:33,880 --> 01:51:35,479
Speaker 1: four or five one, and I know that's straight line

2393
01:51:35,520 --> 01:51:37,519
Speaker 1: speed and there's a lot of things to the route

2394
01:51:37,520 --> 01:51:39,200
Speaker 1: tree that you got to know. And he ran a

2395
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:42,000
Speaker 1: very simple offense at Old Miss. Here's the thing, though,

2396
01:51:42,560 --> 01:51:45,080
Speaker 1: you know, former quarterback in high school used to digesting

2397
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: offensive systems, Josh has spoke glowingly about how well he

2398
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:52,719
Speaker 1: and Tommy Sweeney for that matter, know the offensive playbook.

2399
01:51:52,880 --> 01:51:54,880
Speaker 1: He doesn't have to repeat things to those guys in

2400
01:51:54,960 --> 01:51:59,160
Speaker 1: the huddle. So what am I saying? It's up to

2401
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:02,560
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox because the opportunity is there, and it is

2402
01:52:02,600 --> 01:52:05,360
Speaker 1: a golden one that I don't think anybody anticipated for him,

2403
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:07,880
Speaker 1: But it is sitting there for him to take if

2404
01:52:07,960 --> 01:52:09,720
Speaker 1: he can come through on it. So it's up to

2405
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:12,960
Speaker 1: him now. But he is going to be afforded a

2406
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:15,320
Speaker 1: much greater opportunity than I think a lot of people

2407
01:52:15,360 --> 01:52:18,360
Speaker 1: anticipated coming. It'll be interesting to Sean mcderm will speak

2408
01:52:18,400 --> 01:52:20,560
Speaker 1: to the media tomorrow nine fifteen in the morning, and

2409
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:24,400
Speaker 1: somebody will doubtedly ask him about, you know, Croome and

2410
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:26,920
Speaker 1: whether Krum is on a pitch count. If croom is full,

2411
01:52:27,040 --> 01:52:30,200
Speaker 1: go healthy. That tells you the whole story, right, and

2412
01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:32,760
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see how it plays out. O Line,

2413
01:52:32,800 --> 01:52:34,800
Speaker 1: you're yeah, Chris Brown is with us, and you have

2414
01:52:34,840 --> 01:52:36,200
Speaker 1: a minute to give us a call. Chris will be

2415
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:37,720
Speaker 1: wh there's another five minutes or so, right, you have

2416
01:52:37,800 --> 01:52:39,840
Speaker 1: stuff to do today. You're a busy man. A little

2417
01:52:40,200 --> 01:52:42,360
Speaker 1: periscope a little later too. They gotta have no idea

2418
01:52:42,360 --> 01:52:46,760
Speaker 1: what fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two.

2419
01:52:46,920 --> 01:52:49,200
Speaker 1: I just say stupid things like that because if people

2420
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,400
Speaker 1: kind of confirm their suspicion that I'm out of touch,

2421
01:52:51,680 --> 01:52:54,800
Speaker 1: I know a periscope business. Oh Line, First team, dak

2422
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:59,639
Speaker 1: In Spain, morse Um help me read Olio and Ford.

2423
01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:02,320
Speaker 1: What's a chance that those five line up that way tomorrow?

2424
01:53:02,439 --> 01:53:07,280
Speaker 1: First team? I don't know. I think I think where yeah,

2425
01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 1: I think left guard, right guard, right tackle are probably

2426
01:53:11,479 --> 01:53:14,200
Speaker 1: the three spots that stand the greatest likelihood of rotating.

2427
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:18,519
Speaker 1: It was very interesting to see Spain out there with

2428
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:21,200
Speaker 1: the starting group. I think because of the time that

2429
01:53:21,320 --> 01:53:22,920
Speaker 1: he missed in the spring. I think it kind of

2430
01:53:23,000 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 1: shows you the faith that they have that he knows

2431
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:29,400
Speaker 1: his stuff and is capable of executing. And Dion Dawkins

2432
01:53:29,680 --> 01:53:31,599
Speaker 1: kind of confirmed that for me talking to him after

2433
01:53:31,680 --> 01:53:35,600
Speaker 1: practice today. I really like Teller. I know, I was

2434
01:53:35,640 --> 01:53:37,760
Speaker 1: just gonna you know who, I'm just gonna say that

2435
01:53:38,080 --> 01:53:40,200
Speaker 1: he is not a rookie anymore. No, he doesn't even

2436
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:42,880
Speaker 1: look like a rookie anymore. He his body looks good

2437
01:53:42,920 --> 01:53:46,080
Speaker 1: in terms of leanness, and I think he's a guy

2438
01:53:46,120 --> 01:53:49,400
Speaker 1: who I would not discount. I always liked even last

2439
01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:50,960
Speaker 1: year when he was kind of learning on the fly.

2440
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,560
Speaker 1: Just his little bit of extra nasty. Yeah, you know,

2441
01:53:54,600 --> 01:53:56,519
Speaker 1: a little extra dose at the end of a play,

2442
01:53:57,080 --> 01:53:59,040
Speaker 1: you know, make sure the guy's still down on the

2443
01:53:59,160 --> 01:54:02,120
Speaker 1: ground him a little extra something. You need that on

2444
01:54:02,200 --> 01:54:05,439
Speaker 1: an offensive line. You need that attitude on an offensive line.

2445
01:54:05,640 --> 01:54:07,320
Speaker 1: You want to kind of put into the head of

2446
01:54:07,400 --> 01:54:09,320
Speaker 1: that guy he's going against. It's gonna be a long

2447
01:54:09,400 --> 01:54:10,680
Speaker 1: day to day because this guy is not going to

2448
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 1: let up on anything at rich and cover. Yeah. So

2449
01:54:14,360 --> 01:54:18,120
Speaker 1: I like that. I like that, um, and I I

2450
01:54:18,240 --> 01:54:20,280
Speaker 1: think Teller's got a shot to start even though I

2451
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:21,760
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are looking to a lot

2452
01:54:21,800 --> 01:54:23,920
Speaker 1: of these vets. I think he's firmly going to be

2453
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 1: in the competition at guard unless he falls on his

2454
01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:29,080
Speaker 1: face in the preseason, So I like what he brings.

2455
01:54:29,400 --> 01:54:34,120
Speaker 1: I think Spencer Long second Teller. Here's the interesting thing. Okay,

2456
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:38,880
Speaker 1: in my estimation, Teller and Long left guard, right left guard,

2457
01:54:38,960 --> 01:54:44,040
Speaker 1: right guard move better from a mobility standpoint than Feliciano

2458
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:47,040
Speaker 1: and Spain, who are kind of the drive you off

2459
01:54:47,120 --> 01:54:50,960
Speaker 1: the ball guys. So it's interesting how they have paired

2460
01:54:51,040 --> 01:54:54,040
Speaker 1: them up here with the first and second unit respectively.

2461
01:54:54,880 --> 01:54:56,960
Speaker 1: Morrise is known as more of a move guy than

2462
01:54:57,000 --> 01:55:00,280
Speaker 1: a drive guy. So if tomorrow we get to tomorrow

2463
01:55:00,640 --> 01:55:04,120
Speaker 1: and you've got Teller, Morse and Long, I'm gonna be

2464
01:55:04,280 --> 01:55:07,560
Speaker 1: very interested to see how the play calls may differ

2465
01:55:08,040 --> 01:55:09,640
Speaker 1: and how much they're going to try to get out

2466
01:55:09,680 --> 01:55:12,440
Speaker 1: to the flanks more instead of maybe just driving people

2467
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:14,800
Speaker 1: off the ball straight up the field, because though there

2468
01:55:14,840 --> 01:55:17,800
Speaker 1: are two different strengths there with those pair of guards respectively,

2469
01:55:17,880 --> 01:55:20,560
Speaker 1: it'll be interesting as well if if both sets of

2470
01:55:20,680 --> 01:55:22,840
Speaker 1: guards make it and they had a swing tackle in

2471
01:55:22,840 --> 01:55:27,040
Speaker 1: there too, when you start interchanging them, because of injuries

2472
01:55:27,040 --> 01:55:29,720
Speaker 1: when you've got you've got Teller going in with Felician

2473
01:55:29,880 --> 01:55:31,400
Speaker 1: or Spain in there with Long where you've got the

2474
01:55:31,480 --> 01:55:33,480
Speaker 1: drive blocker on one side and the and the move

2475
01:55:33,560 --> 01:55:39,120
Speaker 1: guy on the other. Just due to circumstance, m manned up.

2476
01:55:39,160 --> 01:55:41,160
Speaker 1: That's the way they go into the opening day as well.

2477
01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:42,960
Speaker 1: You never never know. It doesn't mean these guys to

2478
01:55:43,000 --> 01:55:45,920
Speaker 1: stay paired up at all, it's it's earlier one day.

2479
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 1: This is yeah, this is a this is a box

2480
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:50,960
Speaker 1: of but this is thrown up into the air. I mean, yeah,

2481
01:55:51,000 --> 01:55:53,080
Speaker 1: but this is like I mean, you want could you

2482
01:55:53,240 --> 01:55:56,200
Speaker 1: recall a time where offensive line was like this, polarizing

2483
01:55:56,240 --> 01:55:58,800
Speaker 1: a subject for a training camp. I mean, I'm sure

2484
01:55:58,880 --> 01:56:01,400
Speaker 1: we had positions where they had to find answers, but

2485
01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:04,360
Speaker 1: not to this degree. Yeah, I know about polarizing is

2486
01:56:04,360 --> 01:56:07,720
Speaker 1: the right word. But it certainly is hazy, unclear. We

2487
01:56:07,800 --> 01:56:09,720
Speaker 1: don't know. It's the number one. And I'm staying in

2488
01:56:09,840 --> 01:56:11,600
Speaker 1: terms of being on the mind of fans. But yeah,

2489
01:56:11,640 --> 01:56:14,040
Speaker 1: but fans aren't taking sides or anything. Oh no, no, no,

2490
01:56:14,160 --> 01:56:16,680
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, like you got callers and they're as

2491
01:56:16,840 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 1: they're asking about the old line. Yeah. Questions on Twitter Yeah,

2492
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:23,839
Speaker 1: they're asking about the old line, and it's not the quarterback.

2493
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:28,320
Speaker 1: On a training camp, you've got three full offensive lines

2494
01:56:28,360 --> 01:56:30,240
Speaker 1: on one guy. On our art you've got three. You

2495
01:56:30,320 --> 01:56:36,280
Speaker 1: got fifteen guys. Fifteen usually that's that's quite a few.

2496
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:39,160
Speaker 1: I mean that you don't have that minute and Secy

2497
01:56:39,440 --> 01:56:41,680
Speaker 1: with the twos at right tackle. That's not likely to

2498
01:56:41,760 --> 01:56:44,120
Speaker 1: stay that way, is it. No? I think that'll that'll

2499
01:56:44,120 --> 01:56:47,440
Speaker 1: probably flip flop to some degree between him and Ford. Um.

2500
01:56:48,280 --> 01:56:51,200
Speaker 1: You know, I thought Ford had a decent day today. Um,

2501
01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:55,040
Speaker 1: there were some issues for the offensive line with respect

2502
01:56:55,120 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 1: to the blitzes. And again, blitz packages usually won't go

2503
01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,360
Speaker 1: in until day four or five or six two, and

2504
01:57:02,640 --> 01:57:04,880
Speaker 1: they said, up, let the dogs loose. Here we go.

2505
01:57:05,040 --> 01:57:07,200
Speaker 1: So they did have a little trouble picking some of

2506
01:57:07,280 --> 01:57:10,120
Speaker 1: those up. Josh had to throw one away, he got

2507
01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:13,160
Speaker 1: sacked a couple other times. So you know, I'm sure

2508
01:57:13,200 --> 01:57:16,440
Speaker 1: it'll all iron itself out in time. But yeah, I

2509
01:57:16,720 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 1: expect those guys to flip over there too, for sure.

2510
01:57:19,160 --> 01:57:22,000
Speaker 1: Any other um observations today, I know we got to

2511
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:23,600
Speaker 1: cut you loose here. You had website work to do

2512
01:57:23,920 --> 01:57:28,120
Speaker 1: and periscope. Any other any other observations that stuck out

2513
01:57:28,160 --> 01:57:30,520
Speaker 1: from you from day one. It's only day one. Yeah,

2514
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:35,320
Speaker 1: I don't think there was anything, uh you mentioned John Brown.

2515
01:57:37,200 --> 01:57:39,440
Speaker 1: I thought e J. Gaines was probably the best player

2516
01:57:39,480 --> 01:57:44,720
Speaker 1: on defense and what's interesting to me and coach mentioned

2517
01:57:44,760 --> 01:57:47,960
Speaker 1: it as press conference this morning, he talked about both

2518
01:57:49,080 --> 01:57:53,600
Speaker 1: Kevin Johnson and e J. Gaines as nickel candidates as well.

2519
01:57:54,200 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: And if we saw, if you watched the first couple

2520
01:57:56,360 --> 01:58:00,400
Speaker 1: of rotations with the defensive unit, so Gaines and Johnson

2521
01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 1: are both playing outside corner with the second team defense,

2522
01:58:03,720 --> 01:58:07,960
Speaker 1: but when they went nickel the first series, Kevin Johnson

2523
01:58:08,080 --> 01:58:10,720
Speaker 1: moved into the slot and Lafiette Pitts came in to

2524
01:58:10,840 --> 01:58:14,360
Speaker 1: play the outside corner. And then the second time through, EJ.

2525
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 1: Gaines was the nickel when Lafia Pitts went over the

2526
01:58:16,600 --> 01:58:20,280
Speaker 1: other side to play outside corner. So they're rotating each

2527
01:58:20,320 --> 01:58:23,480
Speaker 1: of those veteran guys into that slot to see who

2528
01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:26,560
Speaker 1: the next best option is after tarn Johnson. They want

2529
01:58:26,600 --> 01:58:28,720
Speaker 1: to have a clear answer there as to who their

2530
01:58:28,800 --> 01:58:32,320
Speaker 1: number two and the right And he was kind of

2531
01:58:32,840 --> 01:58:36,800
Speaker 1: he was with the threes today and he got some

2532
01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:39,760
Speaker 1: some action in there a little bit, uh, not to

2533
01:58:39,840 --> 01:58:42,280
Speaker 1: any great degree. But yes, he got some reps with

2534
01:58:42,360 --> 01:58:45,520
Speaker 1: the third team. But I think it's we're looking at

2535
01:58:45,560 --> 01:58:49,000
Speaker 1: probably one of those two guys being the nickel behind

2536
01:58:49,160 --> 01:58:52,400
Speaker 1: Tarn Johnson, the second nickel, if you will, Um, what's

2537
01:58:52,440 --> 01:58:53,760
Speaker 1: on the website? What are you working on? What do

2538
01:58:53,800 --> 01:58:55,240
Speaker 1: we look for on the website? What kind of video

2539
01:58:55,320 --> 01:58:57,040
Speaker 1: can you guys put on the website? You can't shoot

2540
01:58:57,040 --> 01:59:00,760
Speaker 1: a lot right, well, there are some limitation, but you

2541
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:04,240
Speaker 1: know we have we'll have highlights, Um, obviously stretch, what

2542
01:59:04,320 --> 01:59:08,360
Speaker 1: do you got we shoot tight, shoot tighter, It's okay.

2543
01:59:08,880 --> 01:59:11,560
Speaker 1: We'll have some planes on there, and then um obviously

2544
01:59:11,640 --> 01:59:15,040
Speaker 1: all the interviews that we've done, and um, you know,

2545
01:59:15,120 --> 01:59:17,760
Speaker 1: we've got some Facebook Live stuff tomorrow. I know mad

2546
01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,240
Speaker 1: he's handling that. Do you have the long form Josh

2547
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:22,040
Speaker 1: Allen piece? That's up? Did you right? That is up?

2548
01:59:22,120 --> 01:59:23,720
Speaker 1: What's in there? And I saw the headline? Never read

2549
01:59:23,760 --> 01:59:27,480
Speaker 1: it today? What the hell? I can't do busy man practice?

2550
01:59:27,920 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 1: What is it? Something? I was up at six this morning?

2551
01:59:31,280 --> 01:59:35,560
Speaker 1: What'd you write? What was it? It was just on Josh. Everybody.

2552
01:59:35,680 --> 01:59:39,720
Speaker 1: I like the headline. Everybody has talked ad nauseum about

2553
01:59:39,800 --> 01:59:41,560
Speaker 1: the things Josh needs to do on the field to

2554
01:59:41,600 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 1: get better. Right, there's this whole other half of his

2555
01:59:44,640 --> 01:59:47,480
Speaker 1: job that people forget about when you're the franchise quarterback

2556
01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:49,600
Speaker 1: or the face of the franchise that he has to

2557
01:59:49,680 --> 01:59:54,120
Speaker 1: handle and manage too, like dealing with the media, uh,

2558
01:59:54,480 --> 01:59:59,200
Speaker 1: being the public face of the team, uh, interacting with fans,

2559
02:00:00,640 --> 02:00:03,280
Speaker 1: being a leader off the field, supporting off field causes

2560
02:00:03,320 --> 02:00:06,040
Speaker 1: of your teammates, all of that stuff people kind of

2561
02:00:06,040 --> 02:00:08,120
Speaker 1: forget about because they're so focused on what they see,

2562
02:00:08,200 --> 02:00:10,200
Speaker 1: which is the stuff that's on the field. And so

2563
02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,760
Speaker 1: this is kind of covering how he has come around

2564
02:00:13,800 --> 02:00:16,360
Speaker 1: to handling all that now that he is, you know,

2565
02:00:16,480 --> 02:00:19,120
Speaker 1: the franchise quarterback of different camp for him from a

2566
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:22,680
Speaker 1: year ago. Last year's in a three way competition and

2567
02:00:22,800 --> 02:00:24,880
Speaker 1: he was feeling his way. Question about it, what a

2568
02:00:24,960 --> 02:00:27,160
Speaker 1: different setup this is. I'm gonna pointed to another story

2569
02:00:27,280 --> 02:00:30,920
Speaker 1: that we put together. Homework is your homework. So it

2570
02:00:31,240 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: just came out this morning. But I spoke to eight players,

2571
02:00:35,240 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 1: actually twelve in total, but I only think but eight

2572
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,560
Speaker 1: players who have been here since the beginning of the

2573
02:00:41,640 --> 02:00:46,800
Speaker 1: McDermott era, and where they feel the culture of this

2574
02:00:46,960 --> 02:00:49,560
Speaker 1: team is, where they feel the talent level of this

2575
02:00:49,720 --> 02:00:53,040
Speaker 1: team is and how it's positioned them. All this building

2576
02:00:53,160 --> 02:00:55,960
Speaker 1: that they've done in seventeen and eighteen, how it has

2577
02:00:56,040 --> 02:00:59,960
Speaker 1: positioned the team for twenty nineteen. And it's really large,

2578
02:01:00,040 --> 02:01:02,200
Speaker 1: usually carried by those eight guys. There's not a lot

2579
02:01:02,280 --> 02:01:04,680
Speaker 1: of writing for me. It's a lot of comments from

2580
02:01:04,720 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: them as to what's different, what's better, and how it's

2581
02:01:08,200 --> 02:01:10,880
Speaker 1: positioned them as a team for twenty nineteen. It's a

2582
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,560
Speaker 1: really good read because it's coming straight from the mouths

2583
02:01:13,560 --> 02:01:16,080
Speaker 1: of the guys who have been here for three seasons plus.

2584
02:01:16,240 --> 02:01:18,760
Speaker 1: My last question I got going back to the offensive

2585
02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:21,600
Speaker 1: line we've we've seen and Josh bringing up Josh about

2586
02:01:21,640 --> 02:01:23,120
Speaker 1: that three way battle he was in last year. I

2587
02:01:23,120 --> 02:01:25,560
Speaker 1: spoke to Murph about this earlier in the show. Um,

2588
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:28,480
Speaker 1: they wouldn't give Josh reps last year because he's in

2589
02:01:28,520 --> 02:01:30,360
Speaker 1: a three way battle. He had to earn whatever reps

2590
02:01:30,360 --> 02:01:35,360
Speaker 1: he got. Uh same thing when other rookies have gone it.

2591
02:01:35,640 --> 02:01:40,760
Speaker 1: The only guy that really got plugged competition, Trent Edwards,

2592
02:01:40,840 --> 02:01:43,200
Speaker 1: was in a three man competition. There have been some before.

2593
02:01:43,280 --> 02:01:45,280
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing, here's here's my thing. This this

2594
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:47,360
Speaker 1: coaching staff doesn't give anything away. The only thing. The

2595
02:01:47,480 --> 02:01:51,920
Speaker 1: only guy rookie they plugged in was Tremaine Edmund. What's

2596
02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:53,880
Speaker 1: to say about Cody Ford being plugged in at right

2597
02:01:53,920 --> 02:01:56,520
Speaker 1: tackle after the OTAs and all that, How has he

2598
02:01:56,680 --> 02:02:00,320
Speaker 1: earned the right tackle spot above tie and say? What

2599
02:02:00,400 --> 02:02:02,680
Speaker 1: have they seen in him? And does that bode anything

2600
02:02:02,800 --> 02:02:04,800
Speaker 1: for the future. I don't think it means a lot.

2601
02:02:04,840 --> 02:02:07,840
Speaker 1: If in Insecki is there tomorrow as the starting right tackle,

2602
02:02:07,880 --> 02:02:10,160
Speaker 1: which we talked about and could very well happen. If

2603
02:02:10,200 --> 02:02:13,080
Speaker 1: he's still there tomorrow, well then he obviously made a

2604
02:02:13,160 --> 02:02:16,520
Speaker 1: very good first impression in the spring and he's gonna

2605
02:02:16,560 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: have to carry that through camp, much like Dawson Knox

2606
02:02:18,800 --> 02:02:20,800
Speaker 1: who made a very good first impression in the spring

2607
02:02:20,840 --> 02:02:24,080
Speaker 1: with an extended opportunity due to injury to Kroome and Croft,

2608
02:02:24,480 --> 02:02:27,000
Speaker 1: and now has the keys to the car and has

2609
02:02:27,000 --> 02:02:29,000
Speaker 1: to figure out how to drive it. Well thought. The

2610
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:32,560
Speaker 1: thought for me is Insecki was healthy throughout all the OTA. No,

2611
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,120
Speaker 1: he wasn't. He did miss some time late in OTAs,

2612
02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,600
Speaker 1: He missed the last week OTAs and all a minicamp

2613
02:02:37,680 --> 02:02:41,360
Speaker 1: he was injured. So that would be then that Ford

2614
02:02:41,560 --> 02:02:44,160
Speaker 1: moves back in or moves into that spot when he

2615
02:02:44,280 --> 02:02:46,320
Speaker 1: in his absence and then has done nothing to lose

2616
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:48,800
Speaker 1: the job. Right, So we'll have to see if Inseci

2617
02:02:48,880 --> 02:02:50,920
Speaker 1: is there tomorrow. If he is, then doesn't mean a

2618
02:02:51,000 --> 02:02:53,880
Speaker 1: hill of beans. If it's still Ford, then you're onto something.

2619
02:02:54,240 --> 02:02:56,400
Speaker 1: Chris due favor. Only here for seven more shows a

2620
02:02:56,440 --> 02:02:58,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If at any time, if you feel

2621
02:02:58,960 --> 02:03:02,240
Speaker 1: one of those Anquan Bolden type rants within, you would

2622
02:03:02,240 --> 02:03:03,800
Speaker 1: you just run over here and put it on the

2624
02:03:07,080 --> 02:03:09,000
Speaker 1: were the day. Those were the days when Chris would

2625

2637
02:03:52,200 --> 02:03:55,600
Speaker 1: and you know and running day won a training camp

2638
02:03:55,640 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 1: and after today's training camp work out, it went to

2639
02:03:58,480 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: about eleven twenty. That's the time I couldn't find earlier.

2640
02:04:01,040 --> 02:04:04,120
Speaker 1: But Premine Edmonds and one another one of buffalos first

2641
02:04:04,200 --> 02:04:06,360
Speaker 1: round draft picks from a year ago, starting middle linebacker

2642
02:04:06,600 --> 02:04:09,960
Speaker 1: Premine Edmonds, met with the media after practice ended today.

2643
02:04:10,000 --> 02:04:12,640
Speaker 1: Here's some of what he had to say. Well, we know,

2644
02:04:12,720 --> 02:04:14,600
Speaker 1: you know red zone games and one and lost there,

2645
02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:17,480
Speaker 1: so you know, hitting on the first day, just you know,

2646
02:04:18,120 --> 02:04:20,240
Speaker 1: constant repetition. I think it's gonna be good for us,

2647
02:04:20,280 --> 02:04:23,080
Speaker 1: taking a step at the time, getting better at it. Uh,

2648
02:04:23,280 --> 02:04:25,200
Speaker 1: you know, getting everybody on the same page, and you know,

2649
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,480
Speaker 1: just going to work like that at this point. The defense,

2650
02:04:29,080 --> 02:04:32,120
Speaker 1: it's the unit that has the continuity all the offense

2651
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:35,560
Speaker 1: and stress of things. Are you feeling that out on

2652
02:04:35,640 --> 02:04:38,640
Speaker 1: the field with your other ten guys, Just the sense

2653
02:04:38,720 --> 02:04:41,040
Speaker 1: that you know how to all playoff with one another

2654
02:04:41,160 --> 02:04:43,760
Speaker 1: being so familiar. We wanted, you know, we feel good

2655
02:04:43,840 --> 02:04:45,880
Speaker 1: every day we come out. You know, our gold every

2656
02:04:45,920 --> 02:04:48,240
Speaker 1: day is to get better and you know, no matter

2657
02:04:48,280 --> 02:04:50,120
Speaker 1: how many players we make out there. You know, our

2658
02:04:50,160 --> 02:04:52,640
Speaker 1: goal is to make another play, make a better play. Uh,

2659
02:04:52,720 --> 02:04:54,200
Speaker 1: you know, make one more play than we made the

2660
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:57,040
Speaker 1: other day. So I think the message. I guess that

2661
02:04:57,080 --> 02:04:58,920
Speaker 1: the defense will just be come out every day. Man.

2662
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:01,200
Speaker 1: With that mindset. We gotta get better and uh, you know,

2663
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:03,640
Speaker 1: nothing is good enough every day. Man. We gotta set

2664
02:05:03,680 --> 02:05:05,880
Speaker 1: the tone. We got to come out with that edge

2665
02:05:06,160 --> 02:05:08,320
Speaker 1: and continue to get better. How do you feel heading

2666
02:05:08,360 --> 02:05:10,920
Speaker 1: in the year two? How got your experience the last

2667
02:05:10,960 --> 02:05:14,680
Speaker 1: year a year ago? How much further along? I feel good? Man,

2668
02:05:14,720 --> 02:05:17,520
Speaker 1: I feel good. Uh, you know, still with me. I

2669
02:05:17,600 --> 02:05:19,880
Speaker 1: still got to take steps for it every day. Man.

2670
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:21,720
Speaker 1: I got to look at something that I did bad

2671
02:05:22,040 --> 02:05:23,840
Speaker 1: and continue to learn from it. Man, because you're not

2672
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:26,080
Speaker 1: gonna be perfect out there, gonna make mistakes, but got

2673
02:05:26,160 --> 02:05:27,960
Speaker 1: to be willing to learn from those mistakes. But uh,

2674
02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:31,920
Speaker 1: I feel good, you know. Uh. Now, it's just about

2675
02:05:31,960 --> 02:05:36,160
Speaker 1: me continuing to grow. It's always about that. So were

2676
02:05:36,160 --> 02:05:39,120
Speaker 1: there things you thought you knew about the game in

2677
02:05:39,240 --> 02:05:41,440
Speaker 1: the NFL game that after you've been through a whole

2678
02:05:41,520 --> 02:05:46,760
Speaker 1: year that you're like, now I feel so much difference. Yeah, definitely,

2679
02:05:46,840 --> 02:05:49,040
Speaker 1: But that's just that's the game of football. It's gonna

2680
02:05:49,080 --> 02:05:51,800
Speaker 1: be like that. It'd be like that five six years

2681
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:53,920
Speaker 1: from now. It's always gonna be new things that come up.

2682
02:05:54,160 --> 02:05:56,680
Speaker 1: You just gotta take it and learn from him. She's

2683
02:05:56,760 --> 02:06:02,560
Speaker 1: talking to practice. He said, give a lot of credit

2684
02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:04,960
Speaker 1: to the leadership on the defensive side of the ball,

2685
02:06:05,320 --> 02:06:07,720
Speaker 1: you know some of the thefts. But then also said,

2686
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, the younger guys act like mentrians. What do

2687
02:06:11,120 --> 02:06:13,280
Speaker 1: you see in that huddle when you look around and

2688
02:06:13,520 --> 02:06:17,200
Speaker 1: in kind of a camaraderie and obviously almost all the

2689
02:06:17,280 --> 02:06:20,040
Speaker 1: starters are back from last year. A lot of guys

2690
02:06:20,080 --> 02:06:22,400
Speaker 1: that I could trust. I think that's the biggest thing. Man.

2691
02:06:22,440 --> 02:06:24,760
Speaker 1: You want guys out there that you can trust. Your

2692
02:06:24,800 --> 02:06:26,760
Speaker 1: brothers out there. Man, that's what we are so uh,

2693
02:06:27,120 --> 02:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you know, just playing as a unit. Uh, everybody playing together,

2694
02:06:29,960 --> 02:06:32,920
Speaker 1: everybody communicating, and uh, just just going to work. Man.

2695
02:06:33,000 --> 02:06:34,520
Speaker 1: Got a lot of playmakers out there, a lot of

2696
02:06:34,560 --> 02:06:36,520
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna make play so, uh, we just

2697
02:06:36,600 --> 02:06:38,640
Speaker 1: got to make them. I just heard you use the

2698
02:06:38,680 --> 02:06:40,640
Speaker 1: word a couple of answers to go the word it end.

2699
02:06:41,280 --> 02:06:45,440
Speaker 1: And when we talked to coach mcdurban before practice, he said,

2700
02:06:45,880 --> 02:06:48,640
Speaker 1: our defense needs more hite to it. I'm sure that's

2701
02:06:48,680 --> 02:06:51,840
Speaker 1: something you discussed the meeting. What does that word mean

2702
02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:53,440
Speaker 1: to you? And what does he mean by that? What

2703
02:06:53,520 --> 02:06:57,920
Speaker 1: do you take that? A just man playing fast, plan plan,

2704
02:06:58,080 --> 02:07:01,000
Speaker 1: playing with a dog like mentality? Uh, I mean we

2705
02:07:01,080 --> 02:07:02,560
Speaker 1: gotta go out there, like you said, man, play with

2706
02:07:02,640 --> 02:07:04,680
Speaker 1: it as set the tone off rep Uh you know,

2707
02:07:04,760 --> 02:07:07,240
Speaker 1: I think you know you win games on the defensive side, man,

2708
02:07:07,280 --> 02:07:09,480
Speaker 1: So we gotta set that tone and go to work

2709
02:07:13,360 --> 02:07:16,640
Speaker 1: today and spring practices and things like that. Uh, you know,

2710
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:19,120
Speaker 1: he's moving around good. You know, he's a young guy, rookie,

2711
02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:21,280
Speaker 1: so I mean he got a lot a lot to learn.

2712
02:07:21,400 --> 02:07:23,880
Speaker 1: But uh, you know, first the things that I see,

2713
02:07:23,920 --> 02:07:25,680
Speaker 1: he does a good job. But like I said, man,

2714
02:07:25,720 --> 02:07:28,360
Speaker 1: he still got a lot of room to grow. Are

2715
02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Jordan and Michael the most underrated scene you all in

2716
02:07:31,280 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: the NFL? And those guys are awesome? Man, those guys awesome.

2717
02:07:34,080 --> 02:07:36,440
Speaker 1: Them guys they make players all over the field. I

2718
02:07:36,520 --> 02:07:39,320
Speaker 1: mean it speaks for itself. Uh, they're gonna, They're gonna

2719
02:07:39,320 --> 02:07:41,240
Speaker 1: do their job. Man. I love playing with those guys

2720
02:07:43,200 --> 02:07:45,480
Speaker 1: in the defensive rankings, with your yards where you can

2721
02:07:45,560 --> 02:07:48,760
Speaker 1: get over the pack and give up points to talk yourself.

2722
02:07:49,720 --> 02:07:54,640
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Yeah, that doesn't matter. Man. It's a

2723
02:07:54,680 --> 02:07:57,480
Speaker 1: new year. Uh, new goals we gotta set. Man. We

2724
02:07:57,520 --> 02:07:59,640
Speaker 1: want to be the number one defense, so uh, I

2725
02:07:59,760 --> 02:08:01,960
Speaker 1: mean we did. We just gotta come out every day, man.

2726
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:04,080
Speaker 1: We gotta get better. So nothing that we did last

2727
02:08:04,160 --> 02:08:06,360
Speaker 1: year is gonna carry over. So it's about us just

2728
02:08:06,520 --> 02:08:07,840
Speaker 1: going to work this year and be the best that

2729
02:08:07,840 --> 02:08:10,840
Speaker 1: we could be. Would you rather be at number one

2730
02:08:11,040 --> 02:08:15,800
Speaker 1: points allowed? And yeah? That way were out. Now we

2731
02:08:15,840 --> 02:08:17,280
Speaker 1: just want to be the best out there, man, So

2732
02:08:17,400 --> 02:08:19,880
Speaker 1: we gotta come every day, get better and go to work.

2733
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:25,080
Speaker 1: All right, Thanks, thanks, thank you. Old Tremaine Edmunds Bills

2734
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:28,480
Speaker 1: linebacker going into a second year. Um, you know, we

2735
02:08:28,640 --> 02:08:31,440
Speaker 1: talk a lot about the leadership component that Josh Allen brings.

2736
02:08:31,480 --> 02:08:33,720
Speaker 1: Here is Tremaine the quarterback on the other side of

2737
02:08:33,760 --> 02:08:36,160
Speaker 1: the ball. He is sounding more and more like a

2738
02:08:36,360 --> 02:08:38,560
Speaker 1: leader right on the DASI. Yeah, you caught a lot

2739
02:08:38,600 --> 02:08:41,200
Speaker 1: of it, in't that those answer? Yeah? The reason he

2740
02:08:41,480 --> 02:08:44,600
Speaker 1: didn't sound that good last year is because as he

2741
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:47,200
Speaker 1: didn't done interview and how because he didn't know he

2742
02:08:47,240 --> 02:08:50,200
Speaker 1: didn't know what he didn't know. Um, he worked really

2743
02:08:50,240 --> 02:08:52,640
Speaker 1: hard even last year, right, even at this point of

2744
02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:55,680
Speaker 1: last season, the first day or two of training camp,

2745
02:08:55,680 --> 02:08:58,360
Speaker 1: we were asking how about Tremaine Amy, asking Lorenzo Alexander,

2746
02:08:58,400 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: asking Kyle Wall of asking these guys about him, and

2747
02:09:01,160 --> 02:09:03,320
Speaker 1: all they raved about was how hard he was working

2748
02:09:03,360 --> 02:09:06,040
Speaker 1: at it. The time, he was spending in his playbook,

2749
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:07,880
Speaker 1: making sure he knew what he was supposed to be doing.

2750
02:09:08,280 --> 02:09:10,040
Speaker 1: And you can see now that this is, now that

2751
02:09:10,120 --> 02:09:12,600
Speaker 1: he's been one full lap in the NFL, he comes

2752
02:09:12,680 --> 02:09:16,480
Speaker 1: back and now it's he's talking about what he talked

2753
02:09:16,520 --> 02:09:18,960
Speaker 1: all last you know, season, last preseason, about how he

2754
02:09:19,040 --> 02:09:21,200
Speaker 1: was doing. Now it's all about his team, it's all

2755
02:09:21,200 --> 02:09:23,600
Speaker 1: about somebody else. It's all about how he's helping these guys,

2756
02:09:23,680 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 1: what the standard he's gonna set for the entire team.

2757
02:09:25,960 --> 02:09:30,080
Speaker 1: Is not about him anymore. He's past that threshold. And

2758
02:09:30,120 --> 02:09:33,520
Speaker 1: I think that that echoes just the subject. He talks about,

2759
02:09:33,560 --> 02:09:36,160
Speaker 1: how he's getting his players better, how he's setting a

2760
02:09:36,240 --> 02:09:38,400
Speaker 1: standard for the guys around him, what they're trying to

2761
02:09:38,480 --> 02:09:41,240
Speaker 1: do as a group. You know, last year, at this time,

2762
02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:43,200
Speaker 1: like I said, it was all about him, how he's doing,

2763
02:09:43,240 --> 02:09:45,600
Speaker 1: how he's acclimating, and now it's about us, and it's

2764
02:09:45,720 --> 02:09:48,320
Speaker 1: that's a that's a subtle shift, but it means all.

2765
02:09:48,720 --> 02:09:50,320
Speaker 1: I think it means everything, and a lot of people

2766
02:09:50,400 --> 02:09:52,840
Speaker 1: have talked to him, challenged him quite frankly to be

2767
02:09:52,960 --> 02:09:56,960
Speaker 1: that leader. Lorenzo, Alexander, Kyle Williams started it last year.

2768
02:09:56,960 --> 02:09:59,280
Speaker 1: Remember Kyle told us a couple of times, how he

2769
02:09:59,360 --> 02:10:01,200
Speaker 1: just said, you run this meeting for me, and you

2770
02:10:01,320 --> 02:10:04,160
Speaker 1: run this player's only meeting. London Fletcher came in, you

2771
02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:06,400
Speaker 1: saw it out and betted during the offseason, right talking

2772
02:10:06,480 --> 02:10:08,960
Speaker 1: him about being a leader. Apparently we'll see, but apparently

2773
02:10:09,000 --> 02:10:11,600
Speaker 1: it is. It has taken hold on the Tremaine d

2774
02:10:11,720 --> 02:10:14,080
Speaker 1: and certainly a guy to watch. We're gonna take a break,

2775
02:10:14,080 --> 02:10:15,760
Speaker 1: We're gonna come back kind of wrap things up here

2776
02:10:15,800 --> 02:10:17,680
Speaker 1: from day one of training camp. Come on back with us.

2777
02:10:17,920 --> 02:10:21,520

Speaker 1: riither of the Buffalo Bills. What do we Learned? Mitch

2782
02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:45,320
Speaker 1: Morris joined us on set here today after practice and

2783
02:10:45,440 --> 02:10:48,080
Speaker 1: talked about why Buffalo and the Bills is the best

2784
02:10:48,160 --> 02:10:51,640
Speaker 1: fit for him at this point in his career. You know,

2785
02:10:51,880 --> 02:10:53,960
Speaker 1: it is such a whirlwind that free agency deal, but

2786
02:10:54,080 --> 02:10:55,720
Speaker 1: when when when it comes down to nitty gritty, you

2787
02:10:55,760 --> 02:10:57,080
Speaker 1: do have to look at you know, where all my

2788
02:10:57,160 --> 02:11:00,160
Speaker 1: family be happy and Buffalo is so conducive to the

2789
02:11:00,200 --> 02:11:02,720
Speaker 1: Morse family in the way we candle ourselves and as

2790
02:11:02,720 --> 02:11:04,880
Speaker 1: a blue collar do your work good salt of the

2791
02:11:04,920 --> 02:11:08,520
Speaker 1: earth people organization top to bottom, the family atmosphere, the

2792
02:11:08,560 --> 02:11:11,480
Speaker 1: Pagoulas and coach mc dermott and mister being created are

2793
02:11:11,840 --> 02:11:13,560
Speaker 1: huge and I think to have a great team you

2794
02:11:13,680 --> 02:11:15,680
Speaker 1: have to have the building blocks of a family and

2795
02:11:15,800 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 1: loving environment, because if you don't care for each other,

2796
02:11:17,720 --> 02:11:19,760
Speaker 1: then what's the point of going to war with each other?

2797
02:11:20,000 --> 02:11:24,720
Speaker 1: I make so Chris Brown joined us also. We just

2798
02:11:24,760 --> 02:11:26,600
Speaker 1: said goodbye to Chris in a moment ago and he

2799
02:11:26,720 --> 02:11:29,040
Speaker 1: talked about what he hopes to see from Josh Allen

2800
02:11:29,200 --> 02:11:33,320
Speaker 1: in his second season in the NFL. I think the

2801
02:11:33,440 --> 02:11:36,760
Speaker 1: realistic goal for Josh this year is to have that

2802
02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:41,520
Speaker 1: completion percentage somewhere between fifty eight and sixty percent. He

2803
02:11:41,720 --> 02:11:43,760
Speaker 1: was fifty two and a half percent give or take

2804
02:11:43,880 --> 02:11:46,960
Speaker 1: last year, he's got better weapons. He's going to be

2805
02:11:47,080 --> 02:11:51,280
Speaker 1: making more high percentage throws this year. Underneath, I think

2806
02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:53,640
Speaker 1: he's gonna make a ton of swing passes to guys

2807
02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,680
Speaker 1: coming out of the backfield. So with all of that

2808
02:11:56,840 --> 02:11:59,600
Speaker 1: in mind, also recognizing the fact that in the spring

2809
02:11:59,640 --> 02:12:01,920
Speaker 1: we saw better ball location from him on the whole,

2810
02:12:03,000 --> 02:12:05,040
Speaker 1: I think the goals should be somewhere between fifty eight

2811
02:12:05,080 --> 02:12:07,880
Speaker 1: and sixty percent. I don't think that's too lofty a

2812
02:12:08,000 --> 02:12:12,560
Speaker 1: number to shoot for for him in year two. Chris

2813
02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,480
Speaker 1: Brown and josh Anna right, Steve, it is competitive down here,

2814
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:17,880
Speaker 1: and we wrap things up with who won the day?

2815
02:12:17,920 --> 02:12:19,480
Speaker 1: Who won the day? Here at first day at training,

2816
02:12:19,560 --> 02:12:21,800
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, I think I like what I

2817
02:12:21,840 --> 02:12:24,200
Speaker 1: saw from the coaching staff. You can pick one of

2818
02:12:24,200 --> 02:12:25,720
Speaker 1: the players in the great plays, but I think what

2819
02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,120
Speaker 1: we saw with all the situational stuff, the red zone,

2820
02:12:28,240 --> 02:12:32,440
Speaker 1: seven on seven, red zone, individual, red zone team drills,

2821
02:12:33,240 --> 02:12:35,880
Speaker 1: the situational stuff that they threw at the players early on,

2822
02:12:35,960 --> 02:12:37,520
Speaker 1: I think it speaks to the fact that they've been

2823
02:12:37,600 --> 02:12:39,400
Speaker 1: on this all the way through the spring. These guys

2824
02:12:39,440 --> 02:12:41,200
Speaker 1: seemed ready for it. The players were at for it,

2825
02:12:41,480 --> 02:12:43,840
Speaker 1: and with an added talent that this roster has that

2826
02:12:43,880 --> 02:12:47,120
Speaker 1: they didn't have two years ago or last year. This

2827
02:12:47,440 --> 02:12:50,120
Speaker 1: coaching staff is putting it to the test. It's gonna

2828
02:12:50,160 --> 02:12:51,840
Speaker 1: it's gonna stretch it to its limits and get the

2829
02:12:51,920 --> 02:12:54,320
Speaker 1: most out of it. So I think today started training camp.

2830
02:12:54,360 --> 02:12:55,960
Speaker 1: I think you gotta hand at the coaching staff. They

2831
02:12:55,960 --> 02:12:58,000
Speaker 1: are ready for this day. They're ready for the talent

2832
02:12:58,080 --> 02:12:59,760
Speaker 1: level they've got on this team, and they showed it.

2833
02:13:00,040 --> 02:13:02,000
Speaker 1: I think John Brown won the day at least a

2834
02:13:02,040 --> 02:13:05,120
Speaker 1: portion of the day, just looked head and shoulders above

2835
02:13:05,160 --> 02:13:06,960
Speaker 1: the rest of the receiving group of a long, long,

2836
02:13:07,120 --> 02:13:10,640
Speaker 1: long way to go, including practice tomorrow at ninety five am.
