Last yesterday, we 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:37,279 Speaker 1: kind of like we were whole hommed it. I think 9 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 1: we were dramatically affected by the humidity. I think so too. 10 00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: And we started out at a not even a brisk 11 00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:46,080 Speaker 1: walking pace. We were it wasn't really strolling when we 12 00:00:46,159 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 1: gain't started the shah not today though.

I was like 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,400 Speaker 1: doing all this different stuff. I got home late. I 16 00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 1: did the corporate challenge yesterday. Oh yeah, several of our 17 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:05,679 Speaker 1: compadres go ahead and bragg not only I'm not bragging 18 00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,320 Speaker 1: three and a half, three and a half miles and 19 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,440 Speaker 1: under thirty minutes. I was happy to get under thirty. 20 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:14,320 Speaker 1: I have my I have my friend justin to thank you. 21 00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,920 Speaker 1: In the top he was my I thanked him right 22 00:01:17,959 --> 00:01:19,480 Speaker 1: after the race, I said, you were my rabbit. Man. 23 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: I wouldn't have got under thirty if he wasn't pushing me. Yeah, um, 24 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: because I was struggling. That last mile was not fun. 25 00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: Have you ever done the Corporate Challenge? Um? I was 26 00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:32,800 Speaker 1: a ceremonial starter one year. So no, you have not running. 27 00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,120 Speaker 1: You have not running. No. So the worst part is 28 00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:41,200 Speaker 1: basically you come down. Yeah, basically, you're at the north 29 00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:45,440 Speaker 1: end of Delaware Park, you come down Nottingham, you hang 30 00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,240 Speaker 1: a left down through the s curves on Delaware. Right, 31 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: you go to the first circle there, Gate circle right, 32 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:54,480 Speaker 1: you double back and run it back. I have run 33 00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,520 Speaker 1: Turkey Trot, so I'm that's been in the same neighborhood. Yeah. 34 00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: So the worst part is you hit my three and 35 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: it's that slow climb up the Skjackquita Overpass, under the 36 00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 1: Skjackquita Overpass up to Nottingham and you hang that right 37 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,760 Speaker 1: again and it's all like this steady climb and you're 38 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:17,600 Speaker 1: trying to make time and it's just that's where we 39 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: were going on a nice clip. There's a ton of people. Yeah, 40 00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred I think they said runners I think we. 41 00:02:24,639 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was fifty eight it was 42 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 Speaker 1: fifty eight hundred registered. I don't know if fifty eight 43 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: hundred ran because we had that big weather threat yesterday. 44 00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:35,760 Speaker 1: It was like severe thunderstorms, possible tornado. And so I 45 00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 1: got to the park and the wind was still kicking up. 46 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:41,079 Speaker 1: I was like, oh, man, something's coming through. But fortunately 47 00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: all the wind was out of the south and we 48 00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:46,760 Speaker 1: could see it. Yeah, there was a line of stuff, 49 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 1: but it was it got pushed north of us, thankfully, 50 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,520 Speaker 1: not for the people in Niagara County, I'm sure, but 51 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,720 Speaker 1: we avoided it, thankfully because we could have got But dude, 52 00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,679 Speaker 1: you could have wrung out my shirt like a dish 53 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:01,799 Speaker 1: rod when I was done. It was disgusting. Yeah, it 54 00:03:01,880 --> 00:03:07,960 Speaker 1: was so humid, and I would imagine it impacted a 55 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,440 Speaker 1: lot of people in terms of you know, they probably 56 00:03:10,440 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 1: didn't run as fast as they wanted to because I 57 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:16,760 Speaker 1: mean that. I'm telling you, man, it is so true. 58 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,160 Speaker 1: It is not the humidity. It really is. Yeah, it 59 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,919 Speaker 1: just so much energy. But it's down in the south, 60 00:03:26,040 --> 00:03:28,320 Speaker 1: down south here in Buffalo and south of it was 61 00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: where we are. We um, you know, everything, we were 62 00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:33,360 Speaker 1: kind of bracing for it putting stuff away because you 63 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:37,560 Speaker 1: start saying tornado. Yeah, you're believe me. I'm from Kansas. 64 00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: I know. Yes, you don't mess around with this. You 65 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:43,440 Speaker 1: take you take a few logical and reasonable, you know, 66 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: actions to make sure that your belongings aren't all over 67 00:03:47,320 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 1: the neighborhood. So we did that and it was for 68 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: nothing because it turned out to be a spectacularly beautiful 69 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,120 Speaker 1: evening where we were at. So that was nice. Yeah, 70 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 1: proud of you though. Way to go man, corporate challenge. Yeah, 71 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: I know. I haven't run probably a five k or 72 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:07,000 Speaker 1: a ten kse since pre pandemic. Yeah, because we have 73 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 1: one in Lancaster every July run regularly. I've done less 74 00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: of it. But yes, I would say I run two 75 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:18,800 Speaker 1: to three times a week, but no more a week, 76 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 1: but no more than two to three miles at anyone clip. 77 00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:26,600 Speaker 1: I run two to three times a decade. Well yeah, 78 00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:28,560 Speaker 1: but if you add up all the running you did 79 00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:31,920 Speaker 1: in your thirteen year NFL playing career, it probably ra 80 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 1: up to I gotta say it was strange when I 81 00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 1: retired because I was a junkie. You know, I was 82 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: in here all the time. I lived here in the stadium. 83 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,000 Speaker 1: I Louis stayed here in the off season. It was 84 00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 1: all the free the free equipment, and you know, the 85 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,240 Speaker 1: coaches were here, and I you know, I'd come in. 86 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: I was here all the time. The day I retired, 87 00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:54,120 Speaker 1: I had and I still have, absolutely zero appetite for 88 00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:57,520 Speaker 1: any kind of Well, when you do it every single 89 00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: day for thirteen years, I could understand how it gets 90 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: it's a little old. Well, I did it before that. 91 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:03,040 Speaker 1: I did it for like, well, yeah, not to mention 92 00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: your college career, your high school. I got it into, 93 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,160 Speaker 1: got into it. But I'm just I am like, totally 94 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,400 Speaker 1: it's off my totally off my radar, off my list 95 00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,800 Speaker 1: of desires that I want to do. I mean, by 96 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:17,400 Speaker 1: no means was kind of creepy. Was I of the 97 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,279 Speaker 1: athletic prowess of you? But I mean I was. I 98 00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: played three sports in high school. I was fortunate enough 99 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:26,320 Speaker 1: to play Division three soccer in college. And when I finished, 100 00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,640 Speaker 1: I was good. I was like, I'm good. Ye, like, yeah, 101 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: I'm totally with you. I don't need to chase it anymore. 102 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: I got to do what I wanted to do. I'm 103 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,479 Speaker 1: happy now. I gotta started working. I got a job. 104 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:41,280 Speaker 1: I think now you're you're in a like a you're 105 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: in a beer league, right. No. I I played soccer, 106 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:50,640 Speaker 1: you know, at a club level until I was probably 107 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:56,160 Speaker 1: about thirty five, and then I played for a little 108 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,159 Speaker 1: while in an over thirty five league until I was 109 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:02,560 Speaker 1: about forty five. Fish. So you did it away till 110 00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: you were a while until recently. But I got smart. 111 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: I was I was playing on smaller fields, players less running. 112 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:13,560 Speaker 1: That's I can't. I won't do it. I just won't 113 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: do it. I gotta. Yeah, it's gonna cost me at 114 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: some point.

I was like yeah. 138 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 1: I was thinking, you know, like a couple hundred people 139 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: there or whatever little fun run is. I get show up. 140 00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:43,640 Speaker 1: You know, there's like five hundred runners or five thousand runners, 141 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 1: six thousand runners, and there's like five thousand people just 142 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,080 Speaker 1: hanging out. Yeah, like in the tent and the camp 143 00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:53,440 Speaker 1: is there still the encampment there where they pop up 144 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: the tents and ohs there. How did I miss this. 145 00:07:57,480 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 1: I'm just I'm gonna say this, it's a huge event. 146 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna name names, but there were some school 147 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: districts that were there, you know, the union, free school districts, whatever. 148 00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:13,440 Speaker 1: Last day of school, you know, school is just about done. 149 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 1: So I get there early because I don't want to 150 00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:18,000 Speaker 1: mess with the parking. It's such a nightmare. So I 151 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: get a good spot on Jewett Parkway. I walk into 152 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,120 Speaker 1: the park. So I'm walking. I'm making my way over 153 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 1: to where our tent location is, you know, or one 154 00:08:25,160 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: buffalo tent, and I'm I have to pass a lot 155 00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: of the other tents before I get there. We're on 156 00:08:30,320 --> 00:08:34,280 Speaker 1: the back side, So I'm walking. I just I get 157 00:08:34,320 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: in the park and I'm hearing somebody's got the wheels 158 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 1: of steel turning already. We go and I'm like, who 159 00:08:42,960 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: the heck is that. They're like, this is pre race. 160 00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:47,720 Speaker 1: This is like two and a half hours before the 161 00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: two hours before the race. And there's a couple of 162 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,960 Speaker 1: school districts they each have like one hundred and fifty 163 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 1: people already on site, and it is on like Donkey color. 164 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm like, yeah, and the school years coming.

I would venture to guess 167 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,559 Speaker 1: a lot of their runners became walkers by six thirty 168 00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: because they were going out.

But man, do they love it when that 174 00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:37,200 Speaker 1: summer vacation rolls around.

And the starter was Mayor Brown. He 181 00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,920 Speaker 1: was there, Oh good firing the firing the air horn. 182 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: I was trying to he couldn't hear me.

Uh. Let's get to 189 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:22,319 Speaker 1: some NFL news and notes, and teams around the league 190 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:31,160 Speaker 1: are getting fined, Steve. They're getting fined for illegal practice activities. 191 00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:35,560 Speaker 1: As we know, there is supposed to be no physical 192 00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: contact through OTAs and mandatory mini camp. So far, the 193 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: Chicago Bears earlier this offseason got dinged. Head coach Matt 194 00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:54,920 Speaker 1: Eberflus docked for a practice for violation of non contact rules. 195 00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,160 Speaker 1: Then you had the Dallas Cowboys organized team activities got 196 00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,439 Speaker 1: a little too physical second year in a row, by 197 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 1: the way for them. Yeah, so they got fined, so 198 00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 1: did head coach Mike McCarthy, and they got doctor practice. 199 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: And then Washington Commanders got too physical at their practices. 200 00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:19,320 Speaker 1: Head coach Ron Rivera find a hundred k team lost 201 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: two OTA practices because of too much contact. And then 202 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: still more punishment, Texas Texans head coach Lovey Smith find 203 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:33,839 Speaker 1: fifty grand due to running prohibited one on one O 204 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,760 Speaker 1: line D line drills. So, and I'm telling you it's 205 00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,360 Speaker 1: no joke, not all. And people say oh, why would 206 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: a player like snitch on his own team. Sometimes that happens. 207 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: Sometimes they file a grievance and it gets reported to 208 00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: the PA, They go to the league, and then punishment 209 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 1: is handed down as we've listed here. But I do 210 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 1: know this because this person was at Bill's mandatory minicamp 211 00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: practice on Tuesday. The NFL LPA will send representatives to 212 00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: the thirty two team practices to monitor and overlook it, like, 213 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:09,440 Speaker 1: is this on the up and up? Is this on 214 00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:11,960 Speaker 1: the level? Are they following all the protocols and guidelines 215 00:12:12,240 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: as specified in the CBA agreement? And if not, they're 216 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,080 Speaker 1: gonna get punched. Yeah, and that's and that's what. Yeah, 217 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: the Bills had their guy here. I can't remember who 218 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,520 Speaker 1: it was like, but that the NFLPA had a guy 219 00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:28,400 Speaker 1: on side watching a night you just it just makes 220 00:12:28,440 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: no sense to do it. You're not getting it's let's 221 00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:34,880 Speaker 1: remind ourselves. It's June. You're gonna have training camp in 222 00:12:35,040 --> 00:12:39,000 Speaker 1: like a month. Just you know, you just abide by 223 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: the rules. I don't know what they think they're gaining, 224 00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:46,720 Speaker 1: or whether they or whether the guys, Yeah, I don't know, 225 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,800 Speaker 1: why would they do that? Um, knowing that they're gonna 226 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,439 Speaker 1: get caught. They've done it. They've done it Dallas. It's 227 00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,240 Speaker 1: like a yearly thing. This is like the second year 228 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,400 Speaker 1: in a row. It's one hundred grand and they lost 229 00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: a practice in next year's ota. They can't have one 230 00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: of their OTAs because of this infraction. So it's not nothing. 231 00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 1: And I know this too. It's every club's different. As 232 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: I've said it before, they're all kind of the same, 233 00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:12,920 Speaker 1: but they're all really different. And it comes down to 234 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: you know, what your your owners willing to stomach as 235 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: far as what you're allowed to do. Yeah, yeah, And 236 00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: I mean the protocols are there or the rules are 237 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: there for a reason. They were collectively bargained. So as 238 00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:32,160 Speaker 1: much as you want to get your team ready, you 239 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,200 Speaker 1: got all training camp to do that. So you got 240 00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:39,720 Speaker 1: to adjust. And some of these coaches are having a 241 00:13:39,760 --> 00:13:43,400 Speaker 1: hard time with it. The one that I was surprised 242 00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 1: by the most was Matt Eberflus. You know, some of 243 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 1: these older coaches that were used to the way things 244 00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: were done prior to the last two cbas. You know, 245 00:13:50,640 --> 00:13:53,680 Speaker 1: Ron Rivera has been around that long, McCarthy's been around 246 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:57,760 Speaker 1: that long, Lovey Smith's been around that long, so you're like, okay, 247 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:02,200 Speaker 1: like maybe you could see them screwing up once, maybe 248 00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:07,360 Speaker 1: not twice Mike McCarthy in consecutive years. But the newer 249 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: coaches like Matt Eberflus that surprised me a little bit. 250 00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's because he's a new heck, I don't know, 251 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,839 Speaker 1: but it was just it's weird to see it. Like 252 00:14:15,880 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: the first time it happens, punishments get handed down, the 253 00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: rest of the league takes notice and says, oh, we 254 00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,480 Speaker 1: better watch our p's and ques, and then you got 255 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: Then it happens again and again, and it's like, what 256 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: are you guys doing? I don't get it. But anyway, 257 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 1: so that's that. We are also keeping a peak and 258 00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 1: an eye on the Deshaun Watson stuff, and the latest 259 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,560 Speaker 1: coming down from this now centers around a Pro Football 260 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:49,200 Speaker 1: Talk report by Mike Florio, who is taking a completely 261 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: different angle on this. He's taking a look at the 262 00:14:51,640 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: league office on Park Avenue and what is going on 263 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: there as more and more reports come out that there 264 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 1: are going to be more and more lost, And it 265 00:15:00,920 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: came out this week that two more lawsuits are going 266 00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: to be filed against the Shawn Watson to bring the 267 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: total of civil suits to twenty six, and so he 268 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 1: decided to do a little digging around the NFL office 269 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 1: on Park Avenue in New York City, and as the 270 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 1: cases continue to churn out against Watson, Florio cites a 271 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:26,240 Speaker 1: source close to the situation at the league office that 272 00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:30,080 Speaker 1: says the League is very concerned about the drip drip 273 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: drip of more cases being filed against Watson since the 274 00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 1: March trade that sent Watson to the Browns. You've got 275 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 1: twenty four lawsuits now soon to be twenty six. So 276 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:47,640 Speaker 1: the additional cases only complicate whatever penalty the NFL ultimately 277 00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: chooses to hand down. Florio is reporting that some in 278 00:15:50,960 --> 00:15:55,840 Speaker 1: the League office want Watson's sidelined until the litigation has 279 00:15:55,880 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: completely ended. So, with no end to the situation, site 280 00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:05,240 Speaker 1: ruling out a Brown's reunion with Baker Mayfield is now 281 00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,400 Speaker 1: being speculated. I still don't see that happening. I think 282 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield says, go jump in Lake Erie. I'm not 283 00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: playing for you guys ever again. But if if the 284 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 1: league chooses that, if the League chooses that direction, Steve, 285 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: we know none of these civil cases are being heard 286 00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:26,080 Speaker 1: until like March twenty twenty three and to get through 287 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: twenty six civil cases. Now you're talking probably into twenty 288 00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,240 Speaker 1: twenty five. Do you know how slow the justice system 289 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,480 Speaker 1: moves twenty six cases. I mean, it's gonna take years. Yes, 290 00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 1: here's the thing I've said that the league has always 291 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,400 Speaker 1: been hesitant to because what makes sense to me, Browne, 292 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 1: if this was one of those things, it's just like, listen, 293 00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:53,440 Speaker 1: let's suspend him indefinitely until we decide it's time to Okay, well, 294 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: now we'll talk to you about coming back and playing. 295 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: The problem with that is, and as we've seen, I mean, 296 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 1: this is this doesn't seem to me to be like that. 297 00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: But what they're afraid of is some person just coming 298 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:08,439 Speaker 1: up with some accusation and them having to do the 299 00:17:08,480 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: same thing to a person who's who isn't guilty, or 300 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:16,040 Speaker 1: we don't think is good whatever, it was just made up, 301 00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,760 Speaker 1: so they don't they're very very hesitant to do as 302 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: a throw a blanket policy over something like this, as 303 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: egregious as this is and as obvious as it seems 304 00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:26,800 Speaker 1: to be, just that guy needs to step away from 305 00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:28,439 Speaker 1: the game for a while and get it together and 306 00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:31,080 Speaker 1: then we'll talk about it later after it's all said 307 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,119 Speaker 1: and done. The league's hesitant to do that because they've 308 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:39,880 Speaker 1: seen too many times where the allegations were baseless. Hard 309 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:43,160 Speaker 1: to believe that here, but nevertheless, you got to think 310 00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,240 Speaker 1: about what it means to the league if they do 311 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:52,080 Speaker 1: that going forward. Somebody, you know, the guy I played with, 312 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,200 Speaker 1: Jim Kelly, had to put up with stuff like this 313 00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: all the time. You know, crackpots who are trying to 314 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 1: get his money. That's what the league is afraid of. 315 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:06,840 Speaker 1: This doesn't seem like that, but you got to, right, 316 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,159 Speaker 1: but they've got to treat it with the knowledge that 317 00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:12,680 Speaker 1: they're probably this isn't the last time is going to happen. Well, yeah, 318 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:15,280 Speaker 1: but I think that I think the ultimate concern on 319 00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 1: the part of the league is optics. You know, you're 320 00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:24,159 Speaker 1: trying to portray yourself as a progressive league, advancing the 321 00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:27,680 Speaker 1: careers of women, women in what has been predominantly a 322 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,880 Speaker 1: male career field. You know, whether it's coaching, front office, 323 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:34,960 Speaker 1: you know, in front of the camp, whatever it is. 324 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,000 Speaker 1: The league is trying to be progressive in this regard, 325 00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: you know, not to look good. I think they're genuinely 326 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 1: trying to do what they feel is the right thing 327 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,359 Speaker 1: going forward in terms of where our society is at 328 00:18:46,359 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: this day and age. And that's all to be applauded, 329 00:18:50,560 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: but this is this makes this is a fly in 330 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: the ointment, I mean to say the least, because you 331 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:03,800 Speaker 1: have a prominent player at a prominent position accused of 332 00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:12,400 Speaker 1: very very unsavory things. And while you let the justice 333 00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 1: system handle itself and it's presuming it's innocent until proven guilty. 334 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,480 Speaker 1: You want to get this right. You have to get 335 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,399 Speaker 1: this right as a league, and all of this stuff 336 00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,679 Speaker 1: I think only makes it more complicated to get it 337 00:19:28,760 --> 00:19:30,479 Speaker 1: right as a league. I don't know that it is 338 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,160 Speaker 1: the optics are what they're thinking about, I think, because 339 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 1: if the optics is all they want to do it, 340 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 1: they would have suspended him a year ago and said 341 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:41,480 Speaker 1: come back when it's all said and done. That way, 342 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: then they could flush the whole thing away, wouldn't have 343 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,320 Speaker 1: to deal with it until twenty twenty five or whatever 344 00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:50,280 Speaker 1: the longest thing is. So the problem is what are 345 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: they able to get away with. Yeah, that's but you're right, 346 00:19:56,640 --> 00:20:01,760 Speaker 1: it's yeah, it's not going away obviously for a while. 347 00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: So essentially the Texans paid him to not play. He 348 00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: was not interested in playing for the Texans either, but 349 00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,919 Speaker 1: they basically paid him and he sat and watched for 350 00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:16,960 Speaker 1: a year, and now the Browns could very well be 351 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,400 Speaker 1: paying him. And if the league ultimately decides to suspend 352 00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:29,119 Speaker 1: him indefinitely until his legal stuff is resolved in full, 353 00:20:29,720 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 1: he could be waiting a long time. Now. We don't 354 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: know that that's going to happen, but it has been 355 00:20:33,800 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: suggested here in the report from Pro Football Talks Mike Florio. 356 00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,720 Speaker 1: Whether it gets to that point, we'll have to We're 357 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 1: just going to have to wait and see. But this 358 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: is just another angle of this whole situation and how 359 00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:50,120 Speaker 1: this is not an easy one. It's not at all 360 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,959 Speaker 1: for the league to kind of stick the landing. Complicated 361 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 1: for the league, complicated for obviously for Deshaun is obviously 362 00:20:57,920 --> 00:21:03,600 Speaker 1: tragic and horrible for the victims. It's it's a pain 363 00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:10,720 Speaker 1: and embarrassing or infuriating for Baker Mayfield. The Browns, it's 364 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:16,000 Speaker 1: almost like they're there's, you know, beating themselves up by 365 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,520 Speaker 1: getting into this thing the way they have, just wading 366 00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,439 Speaker 1: into it and throwing two hundred and thirty six million 367 00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:24,880 Speaker 1: dollars what right now seems to be into the toilet 368 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 1: um how Deshaun and Deshaun Watson leaving the Houston Texans, 369 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,400 Speaker 1: the Texans washing their hands of the whole thing, paying 370 00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:37,480 Speaker 1: him not to play how and with for a guy 371 00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: that they had ostensibly lied to to begin with, And 372 00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:44,760 Speaker 1: that's how he they soured their relationship with him, So 373 00:21:44,840 --> 00:21:48,600 Speaker 1: he wants out. I mean, it's there's like layer after 374 00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,960 Speaker 1: layer after lair and not a single bit of it 375 00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:57,919 Speaker 1: has any redeeming value. It is so awful and we 376 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:03,240 Speaker 1: should not forget that. The tech sins were implicated basically 377 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: as enabling Watson by giving him membership to an exclusive 378 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:12,439 Speaker 1: hotel in Houston, which he sometimes would use a certain 379 00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: suite at that hotel for massage appointments. And they also 380 00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:23,120 Speaker 1: provided him with a non disclosure agreement when he first 381 00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,119 Speaker 1: brought up to them that he was being accused of 382 00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: certain things by massage therapists, and they said, well, this 383 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,560 Speaker 1: can protect you if you can have them sign it 384 00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 1: prior to your massage appointment. So at the very least, 385 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,200 Speaker 1: they've been accused as enablers in the New York Times 386 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: story by Jenny Vrentis, which came out last week, So 387 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,600 Speaker 1: the Texans aren't out of the woods yet. Either and 388 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: again we sit and wait for this to be resolved. 389 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:49,640 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna be sitting and waiting a long time. 390 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: Let's end NFL news and notes on a good note. 391 00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:57,080 Speaker 1: Marv Levy, the Bills Hall of Fame head coach, is 392 00:22:57,119 --> 00:23:01,719 Speaker 1: poised to join a very select pro football group.

And I was, 422 00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:42,320 Speaker 1: I was struck by this, Steve, because I thought I 423 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,960 Speaker 1: knew Marv's coaching career pretty well. You know, I'm not 424 00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,840 Speaker 1: going to pretend to know it inside and out, but 425 00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: I was. I had I knew he coached under George 426 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 1: George Allen with the Washington Redskins, but I forgot that 427 00:24:59,080 --> 00:25:02,280 Speaker 1: he was coaching the as a special team's coach when 428 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,040 Speaker 1: they went to the Super Bowl, but they lost to 429 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 1: the undefeated Dolphins team. And the very next year he 430 00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,160 Speaker 1: left to be the head coach of the Montreal Alouettes 431 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: and he kind of turned their program around.

That 433 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: was the year he won the Gray Cup for Montreal 434 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:22,480 Speaker 1: in a win over Edmonton. And he did remember coaching 435 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,680 Speaker 1: against Bud Grant when he was coaching up in Winnipeg. 436 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,680 Speaker 1: So Bud Grant, Warren Moon, Marv Levy the only inductees 437 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,159 Speaker 1: of both the Canadian Football Hall of Fame and the 438 00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, so very very 439 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 1: very select company.

It's like what and so, Yeah, going into 491 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,320 Speaker 1: the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the Canadian Football 492 00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:29,119 Speaker 1: Hall of Fame along with only two other people to 493 00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:31,359 Speaker 1: do both of those hall of Fames, Yes, Ed is 494 00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable.

She joins us for her impressions of 513 00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:35,320 Speaker 1: Mini Camp and maybe a little advanced report on what 514 00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 1: to look for in training camp just six or so 515 00:29:39,320 --> 00:29:42,040 Speaker 1: weeks away. She's coming up next year on One Bills Live, 516 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:57,320 Speaker 1: presented by Collat of Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome 517 00:29:57,360 --> 00:29:59,720 Speaker 1: back into one Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve tasking with you, 518 00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,640 Speaker 1: Joe Now buy Bill's record. Maddie Glad who took in 519 00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:06,120 Speaker 1: all of Mandatory Mini Camp. Well, we were stuck in 520 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:08,400 Speaker 1: here doing the show. We couldn't watch as much practice 521 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 1: as you could, Maddie. So that's why we've got you 522 00:30:10,600 --> 00:30:13,680 Speaker 1: into kind of be our eyes and ears for some 523 00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:16,000 Speaker 1: of the stuff that went down. What would you say was, 524 00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe the most eye opening thing for 525 00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: you in the two days that you washed out there 526 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:26,080 Speaker 1: with these guys going at I'm trying to think of 527 00:30:26,080 --> 00:30:30,000 Speaker 1: ots as well as long as well as mini camps, 528 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:34,200 Speaker 1: since I was a part of those practices and mini camps. 529 00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,480 Speaker 1: So trying to think big picture here, and it's always 530 00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,120 Speaker 1: tough to, you know, put your finger on one thing, 531 00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 1: especially in ots a mini camp, when the coaches say 532 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:44,920 Speaker 1: they're not really doing football yet, and that is totally 533 00:30:44,920 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 1: true because the pads aren't on yet, they're not popping yet, 534 00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 1: they're not tackling yet. So which you're really seeing is 535 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,960 Speaker 1: like a glorified walk through every day with some team 536 00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: periods built in there. But I think the thing that 537 00:30:58,360 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: stood out most for me, and this may not be 538 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,720 Speaker 1: a shock to anybody because it shouldn't be, is the 539 00:31:03,760 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 1: fact that the Bills are picking up where they left off. 540 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,360 Speaker 1: I mean, this looks like a well oiled machine and 541 00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: team out on the field. It doesn't look like there's 542 00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:15,600 Speaker 1: a big learning curve for this group. It doesn't look 543 00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,480 Speaker 1: like there's a lot of new guys on the field. 544 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,840 Speaker 1: Of course, we brought in rookies and free agents who 545 00:31:20,840 --> 00:31:23,160 Speaker 1: are learning the offense and who are learning the defense, 546 00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 1: and we have loads of new coaches as well, But 547 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,479 Speaker 1: from the outside looking in when practice is going on, 548 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: you don't really notice that, right They seem like they 549 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 1: it's always been a tight operation. Yeah. Yeah. I think 550 00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:38,600 Speaker 1: it's interesting too because I was saying one of the 551 00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 1: things that they do here a lot, and I was 552 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:44,120 Speaker 1: talking to the guys before the show earlier. This club. 553 00:31:44,400 --> 00:31:46,920 Speaker 1: Everybody has new players on their roster every year, you know, 554 00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,280 Speaker 1: as many ten, twelve, fourteen, whatever, But this club seems 555 00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:55,920 Speaker 1: to churn their roster deeper and be willing to do 556 00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:58,360 Speaker 1: that more than other clubs. Like you look back at 557 00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:00,640 Speaker 1: the free agents they brought in who were real contributors. 558 00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:07,760 Speaker 1: John Feliciano Quintin Spain, uh, Darryl Williams, m Jordan Phillips, 559 00:32:07,800 --> 00:32:09,960 Speaker 1: all of these guys they've brought in over the course 560 00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: of the last three or where he has turned out 561 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 1: to be very big contributors on the on the defense 562 00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:19,440 Speaker 1: or the offense. Josh Norman took some reps, you know, 563 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:21,720 Speaker 1: all these all these guys. They they have guys that 564 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 1: they bring in the offseason who really played for this 565 00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: team and a one year deals. Yeah, and then now 566 00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,280 Speaker 1: they're gone. They're willing to do that, and I think 567 00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: it's a testament to how Sean McDermott can integrate these 568 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:35,040 Speaker 1: guys together. And you saw it out there in mini camp. 569 00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: You said to me, having that many new players and 570 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: all the guys that are going to be contributors O. 571 00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,240 Speaker 1: J Howard this year, you know, Jamison Crowder this year. 572 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,520 Speaker 1: They're just like, yeah, well they'll be part of the team. 573 00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 1: We'll get them in here. That's that's pretty cool. And 574 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:52,800 Speaker 1: Jamison and OJ Howard and Jamison Crowder they've they've had 575 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,440 Speaker 1: nice OTAs in mini camp. Again, it's hard to like 576 00:32:56,640 --> 00:32:59,280 Speaker 1: judge guys off of just ots in mini camp, so 577 00:32:59,320 --> 00:33:01,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to, you know, say too much. But 578 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:05,000 Speaker 1: OJ Howard is going to be a good player if 579 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: he can stay healthy. Jamison Crowder has proven that he 580 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,120 Speaker 1: can really help an offense out and I think he 581 00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,920 Speaker 1: could be a sneaky good asset for this team alongside. 582 00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:16,760 Speaker 1: Of course, we know what Isaiah McKenzie can do, but 583 00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,240 Speaker 1: we know how important that slot position was to Josh 584 00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:22,760 Speaker 1: Allen in his first few seasons as an NFL quarterback. 585 00:33:22,840 --> 00:33:25,800 Speaker 1: Cole Beasley was his security blanket a lot of the times, 586 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:29,040 Speaker 1: and I think Isaiah McKenzie and Jamison Crowder can be 587 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,600 Speaker 1: that again as Josh Allen enters year five. OJ Howard 588 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,720 Speaker 1: is a huge tight end Dawson Knox sent and his 589 00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: media availability that he makes me look small, and it's 590 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 1: so true. It's like this kid is a freak athlete 591 00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,080 Speaker 1: in the way that he looks. And to think about 592 00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:48,280 Speaker 1: him within the offense, We've talked about it before. You know, 593 00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 1: twelve personnel could be a normal thing this season because 594 00:33:51,280 --> 00:33:53,880 Speaker 1: of the guys that they have. It's been fun to 595 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,720 Speaker 1: see von Miller out there coaching up the younger players. 596 00:33:57,480 --> 00:34:00,480 Speaker 1: They talk about his moves, what he can offer. I 597 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,120 Speaker 1: talked to Dion Dawkins yesterday as we were on a 598 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 1: shoot and people were asking him about what von Miller 599 00:34:06,280 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: brings to the table. And to hear another NFL player 600 00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,640 Speaker 1: talk about the way that they talk about von Miller 601 00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: is something special to witness because Dion Dawkins went into 602 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,279 Speaker 1: detail about the moves that he has, what he can 603 00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: do with his body, how he can bend, how he 604 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: can move, and for a starting left tackled in the 605 00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 1: NFL to almost be like awe struck by what he's 606 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: seeing on the practice field, I think says a lot 607 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:34,400 Speaker 1: and we've been able to see that in a sample size. 608 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:38,400 Speaker 1: I'm really excited to watch that once training camp happens 609 00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,399 Speaker 1: and once the pads come on. So those have been 610 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,839 Speaker 1: a couple things that I've noticed. Tavon Austin has had 611 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: a couple good passes. I know, Josh Allen said in 612 00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: the beginning of OTAs, you know what I want to 613 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:51,080 Speaker 1: work on is our yack and throwing our guys open, 614 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:55,120 Speaker 1: and we've we've seen several examples of that throughout OTAs 615 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: and mandatory Mini camp already. So it's been fun to 616 00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 1: watch Ken Dorsey, Oh Brady and Josh Allen seem like 617 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: they're getting on the same page together. Right. We've heard 618 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: Josh Allen talk a lot about just hearing a new 619 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:13,600 Speaker 1: voice in the headset and wanting to kind of get 620 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: comfortable with that in mandatory mini camps so they can 621 00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,960 Speaker 1: kind of hit the ground running in training camp. And 622 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott said, we feel light years ahead with Ken 623 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:25,960 Speaker 1: Dorsey as our offensive coordinator because he knows the terminology, 624 00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,680 Speaker 1: he knows the jargon, he knows what works in this offense. 625 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: So I think you're seeing a team out there that, 626 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,959 Speaker 1: like I said, is just picking up where it left 627 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: off because there's so much familiarity in a lot of 628 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,799 Speaker 1: different ways. We heard, we saw what we saw on 629 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,320 Speaker 1: the practice field seemed to indicate this, but Isaiah McKenzie 630 00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:46,400 Speaker 1: essentially confirmed it. His role is going to be bigger 631 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: in this offense this year, he said it, and I 632 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:52,360 Speaker 1: don't see that changing between now and the start of 633 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:55,160 Speaker 1: the season. It's going to be interesting to see how 634 00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,839 Speaker 1: they choose to deploy him and Jamison Crowder, whether it's 635 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:00,480 Speaker 1: going to be an either or whether it's going to 636 00:36:00,520 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: be at the same time, whether it's going to be 637 00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: at the expense of the tight ends at times based 638 00:36:05,719 --> 00:36:07,759 Speaker 1: on the opponent, and you know, what they feel is 639 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,680 Speaker 1: going to work in a given week. I don't know 640 00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 1: who mackenzie's advocate is, whether it's Josh, whether it's Ken Dorsey, 641 00:36:14,840 --> 00:36:17,880 Speaker 1: whether it's Sean McDermott or somebody else on the team. 642 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,279 Speaker 1: But a guy that found it hard to find a 643 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,319 Speaker 1: larger role on the offensive side of the ball the 644 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years suddenly looks like he's going to 645 00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,719 Speaker 1: have a bigger one here in twenty twenty two. And 646 00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 1: I think he deserves that opportunity, and I think the 647 00:36:31,400 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 1: coaching staff also understands that. I mean, he's came up 648 00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:39,399 Speaker 1: clutch in several different ways. Of course, when it came 649 00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:42,560 Speaker 1: to return the football sometimes didn't come up as clutch 650 00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:46,440 Speaker 1: in certain scenarios and things. And that's another battle that 651 00:36:46,440 --> 00:36:48,720 Speaker 1: that we're going to be talking about all offseason is 652 00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:50,880 Speaker 1: is who who's going to be their punt returner and 653 00:36:51,000 --> 00:36:54,760 Speaker 1: kick returner. We've seen several different guys take some reps 654 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:58,239 Speaker 1: at that position, but it remains to be determined. But 655 00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:01,600 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie has shown up in more ways than one 656 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:05,680 Speaker 1: and has been that viable option for Josh in the 657 00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: offense last season, especially toward the end of last season. 658 00:37:08,680 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 1: And we heard from Isam McKenzie last week or a 659 00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,839 Speaker 1: couple days ago. I'm getting all my days confused now 660 00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,640 Speaker 1: a couple days ago, and he said, I want to 661 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,040 Speaker 1: be on the same level with Josh as Cole Beasley was, 662 00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,520 Speaker 1: and kind of looked up to Cole Beasley in that 663 00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:26,640 Speaker 1: way with their chemistry and the communication. So Isam McKenzie said, 664 00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,520 Speaker 1: I want to use mini camp in training camp to 665 00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,560 Speaker 1: form that relationship with my quarterback, to be in a 666 00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 1: place where I feel comfortable like Cole Beasley did. But 667 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting. Like you said, Brownie, I mean Jamison Crowder, 668 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 1: Isam McKenzie. They offer a lot of these same things 669 00:37:42,320 --> 00:37:45,880 Speaker 1: on the field. They do have different strengths in certain ways, 670 00:37:45,920 --> 00:37:49,000 Speaker 1: But is that going to be a battle? What is 671 00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: that going to look like in season? Are we going 672 00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,799 Speaker 1: to keep you know, you play the numbers game. We 673 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 1: can't keep all of the wide receivers that we have 674 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,880 Speaker 1: on this roster. We have a lot of talent on 675 00:38:00,080 --> 00:38:02,520 Speaker 1: this roster, but once we get into training camp you 676 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,000 Speaker 1: kind of start to do the Okay, are we going 677 00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:07,080 Speaker 1: to keep ten guys at this position? Are we going 678 00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: to keep five? What is it going to look like? 679 00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,880 Speaker 1: We have twelve cornerbacks right now. That is a crazy 680 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 1: big number and there's there's at least four of them 681 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,319 Speaker 1: that can really play, yeah, and maybe more than that. 682 00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:18,839 Speaker 1: And if that's the case, you know, how do you 683 00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:21,080 Speaker 1: how do you get your mind around it? You're right though. 684 00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:22,680 Speaker 1: One of the things that I Brownie and I had 685 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:26,560 Speaker 1: a conversation with on the practice field, uh Isaia McKenzie 686 00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:29,480 Speaker 1: and you mentioned it when he's gotten a chance. Man, 687 00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,720 Speaker 1: he's hit home runs Week seventeen and twenty twenty last 688 00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:37,239 Speaker 1: year in the New England game. There's been a couple 689 00:38:37,239 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 1: of times when they've asked him to be a bigger 690 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 1: part of the offense and he has absolutely crushed it. 691 00:38:42,160 --> 00:38:45,920 Speaker 1: And it's Brownie and I were thinking, I like, go, okay, 692 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:49,239 Speaker 1: why is that all we've seen? Because usually when a 693 00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:52,200 Speaker 1: guy comes out and plays like that, the next week 694 00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,560 Speaker 1: he's trying They're trying to do the exact same thing, right, 695 00:38:55,040 --> 00:38:58,640 Speaker 1: So was that Brian day Ball saying no, I don't 696 00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:01,040 Speaker 1: know if I've got this other thing I want to do. Yeah, 697 00:39:01,080 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 1: he's good, but we you know it was because we 698 00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: called his number. Is it Sean McDermott saying, yeah, well 699 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:08,360 Speaker 1: I like these other guys better. You know whatever? Is 700 00:39:08,360 --> 00:39:10,239 Speaker 1: it Josh Allen saying when he's on the field, I'm 701 00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,879 Speaker 1: throwing him the football no matter what, which happens with 702 00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:16,520 Speaker 1: with good quarterbacks. They you said, I'm gonna I like 703 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:18,319 Speaker 1: this guy. I wanted to be more involved, so I'm 704 00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 1: gonna throw him the football and show him that kind 705 00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 1: of stuff happens. And Brownie and now we're having this thing. 706 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:27,160 Speaker 1: I wonder where that where the disconnect is Is it 707 00:39:27,200 --> 00:39:30,440 Speaker 1: with Brian day Ball and the offense? Is it with 708 00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:34,760 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and Brian day Ball. Was it with Isaiah 709 00:39:34,800 --> 00:39:37,279 Speaker 1: McKenzie and Josh or Josh and Brian day Ball or 710 00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: Josh and Sean mcdonn. I mean the conversations changed, Yeah, finally, 711 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:43,879 Speaker 1: why is that? And now and the only thing that's 712 00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:46,200 Speaker 1: changed is Brian Dayballs now in the New York Giants, 713 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: and Ken Dorsey's called on the plays. Maybe he's the 714 00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:50,400 Speaker 1: one who said, you know what I think you're you 715 00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: know you're not using this guy in Nefflis. See if 716 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,719 Speaker 1: we can do it. I think that's really interesting and 717 00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:57,760 Speaker 1: it'll be and it'll be fun to watch training camp 718 00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,959 Speaker 1: coming up and see how it transpires. Yeah, definitely, And 719 00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,600 Speaker 1: I think in ways we've seen different guys on the 720 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,040 Speaker 1: offense have years, right, Stefan Diggs, of course, his first 721 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:11,759 Speaker 1: season on this team had a year. But then year 722 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,360 Speaker 1: two comes around and defensive defenses have all the tape 723 00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,800 Speaker 1: on Stefan Diggs and Josh Allen and the routes that 724 00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:20,400 Speaker 1: they like to run together and where Stefan likes to 725 00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:23,439 Speaker 1: be on the field, and what certain strength Stefan has, 726 00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 1: and then you see other players step up as as 727 00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,920 Speaker 1: Stefan takes a different type of role last year and 728 00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:32,520 Speaker 1: draws a lot of the attention away from other offensive weapons. 729 00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:35,400 Speaker 1: So you see Gabe Davis step up. You see Dawson 730 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:38,359 Speaker 1: knock step up. Now that there's the tape on them, 731 00:40:38,880 --> 00:40:41,040 Speaker 1: who's going to be the new guy this year? So 732 00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:43,439 Speaker 1: I think that's been fun to watch is every year 733 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:46,520 Speaker 1: a new player takes on a different role within this 734 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:50,280 Speaker 1: offense and it just adds to the firepower as a whole. 735 00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:53,399 Speaker 1: I mean, Josh Allen talked about the weapons that this 736 00:40:53,480 --> 00:40:55,800 Speaker 1: team has, and it seems like every year they just 737 00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,239 Speaker 1: they just take a step further in the conversation of 738 00:40:59,560 --> 00:41:03,280 Speaker 1: how many weapons, how much firepower this offense has, and 739 00:41:03,320 --> 00:41:09,200 Speaker 1: you add oj Howard and Jameson Crowder and I'm James 740 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,080 Speaker 1: Cook to the mix, and it's just like, can can 741 00:41:12,120 --> 00:41:15,280 Speaker 1: we go up from here again? After this? Because every 742 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,120 Speaker 1: year under under Sean McDermott, it seems like this offense 743 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:21,839 Speaker 1: has kept taking steps forward in different ways and it's 744 00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,040 Speaker 1: kind of crazy to think about. But I think this year, 745 00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:29,319 Speaker 1: the team, the offense has the potential to do so 746 00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 1: based on the pieces that they're looking at right now. Yeah, 747 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:34,239 Speaker 1: I mean, we've talked about it for a long time. 748 00:41:35,280 --> 00:41:37,400 Speaker 1: As scary as this team was playing at the end 749 00:41:37,400 --> 00:41:39,839 Speaker 1: of last year, when Steve has said many times they 750 00:41:39,880 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 1: timed it outright. You know, they're they were playing their 751 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 1: best football as they were heading into the playoffs, and 752 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:50,319 Speaker 1: they were healthy and they were healthy Part two on 753 00:41:50,440 --> 00:41:56,040 Speaker 1: paper right now, this team could be even better last year, 754 00:41:56,080 --> 00:41:58,440 Speaker 1: which is pretty nuts. We do have to take a 755 00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:00,560 Speaker 1: break here. Maddie is going to be kind enough to 756 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 1: stick around a little bit, so she will hang here 757 00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,120 Speaker 1: with Steve and we'll be back with more here on 758 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:07,399 Speaker 1: One Bill's Life, presented by a Colloid to Health. It's 759 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:23,200 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's Life. Steve 760 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:26,160 Speaker 1: Tasker along with Maddie Glab. Maddie's gonna sit in for 761 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:29,439 Speaker 1: the rest of this show for us. We uh, we've 762 00:42:29,480 --> 00:42:34,759 Speaker 1: been talking about we had a brief foray into the 763 00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: sea Deshaun Watson stuff in Cleveland, Maddie. But as a 764 00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:41,520 Speaker 1: result of all that, yikety um. One of the things 765 00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,759 Speaker 1: has come out of this Yahoo Sports put out an 766 00:42:43,760 --> 00:42:47,600 Speaker 1: official put out an article, and their speculation is about 767 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,600 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen to Baker Mayfield in Cleveland, right, And 768 00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:53,720 Speaker 1: not only Baker Mayfield, but also there's a strong sentiment 769 00:42:53,800 --> 00:42:56,880 Speaker 1: in San Francisco about what's gonna happen with Jimmy Garoppolo. 770 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,839 Speaker 1: So one of the Yahoo Sports writers went out and 771 00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:05,840 Speaker 1: asked some officials around the league, GM's coaches all of 772 00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:09,480 Speaker 1: that stuff, you know, anonymously, I guess about what their 773 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 1: thoughts were about those two. The consensuses was interesting to me. 774 00:43:14,400 --> 00:43:16,560 Speaker 1: They think both these guys are going to be released 775 00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 1: before the beginning of the season. I'm we don't see 776 00:43:23,640 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo that much, we don't see him play, but 777 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,200 Speaker 1: he's a guy who's gotten that team, who got that 778 00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,160 Speaker 1: team to the super Bowl. And of course Baker Mayfield 779 00:43:32,200 --> 00:43:34,240 Speaker 1: was number one overall pick who's played well at times, 780 00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520 Speaker 1: played really hurt last year on a really good roster 781 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:40,040 Speaker 1: and they couldn't get it done. Man. It's it's amazing though, 782 00:43:40,080 --> 00:43:42,400 Speaker 1: how the fortunes have changed for those two guys and 783 00:43:42,440 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 1: what may happen, And I like, know what you think 784 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: about it, and also where do you think they'll end up. 785 00:43:47,080 --> 00:43:48,520 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a lot of a lot of talk 786 00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:53,080 Speaker 1: about the Carolina Panthers for Baker, but what about Garoppolo. 787 00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:56,200 Speaker 1: I mean, I think the Panthers does make the most 788 00:43:56,239 --> 00:44:03,600 Speaker 1: sense for Baker Mayfield. Jimmy g That's interesting because he 789 00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 1: is a different type of quarterback in today's NFL. I 790 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,840 Speaker 1: think Baker fits the build on a younger quarterback and 791 00:44:11,160 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 1: what NFL offenses want to be like more than Jimmy 792 00:44:15,480 --> 00:44:19,880 Speaker 1: G does. And with Jimmy G, he's the type of 793 00:44:19,960 --> 00:44:23,960 Speaker 1: quarterback where you're going to need a good running back, 794 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:26,839 Speaker 1: a good a good rushing offense to be able to 795 00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:31,560 Speaker 1: put together, to be able to mesh mix whatever you 796 00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: want to call it. With what Jimmy G can do 797 00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:37,200 Speaker 1: in the air, He's He's no Josh Allen and what 798 00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,399 Speaker 1: he can do, but he's taken teams far before. Right, 799 00:44:40,480 --> 00:44:44,160 Speaker 1: this is he's been a successful quarterback in a lot 800 00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:49,440 Speaker 1: of ways. And I think also people may not look 801 00:44:49,480 --> 00:44:51,840 Speaker 1: at or or give him the type of credit that 802 00:44:51,920 --> 00:44:54,600 Speaker 1: he deserves with what he's done in his time in 803 00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:59,839 Speaker 1: the NFL. And it's interesting though, I mean to say 804 00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 1: he needs a good running back may be an understatement 805 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,120 Speaker 1: because the reason they got to the Super Bowl was 806 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,200 Speaker 1: because of Kyle Shanahan and the running offense. Jim Harbaugh 807 00:45:08,480 --> 00:45:14,640 Speaker 1: was when Jim Harborough at the time, it was it 808 00:45:14,680 --> 00:45:18,000 Speaker 1: was Mike Shanahan Kyle Shanahan. So Kyle Shanahan gets them 809 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,000 Speaker 1: to the super Bowl, but they had this running first 810 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:23,920 Speaker 1: kind of offense, and nobody really does that. Baltimore, you 811 00:45:23,920 --> 00:45:26,400 Speaker 1: can make a case for does that, but you know, 812 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:31,520 Speaker 1: I'm I'm like you. I'm shocked that Jimmy G's stock 813 00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:35,640 Speaker 1: is so far down. I also think, like, okay, at 814 00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 1: this point, they're going to be released because teams don't 815 00:45:38,840 --> 00:45:40,560 Speaker 1: want to pay what they need to pay for these 816 00:45:41,080 --> 00:45:44,800 Speaker 1: I don't want to give up compensation for them, and 817 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,880 Speaker 1: you could argue salary cap blah blah blah. I know 818 00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:51,239 Speaker 1: our team has faced it a little bit and is 819 00:45:51,280 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: going to be happy when that number goes up after 820 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:57,680 Speaker 1: next season. So I don't think the road for these 821 00:45:57,719 --> 00:46:01,440 Speaker 1: two is out or the road is closing or ending 822 00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:04,319 Speaker 1: anytime soon. I just think both of these guys have 823 00:46:04,440 --> 00:46:08,200 Speaker 1: been put in interesting situations at this point. I do 824 00:46:08,320 --> 00:46:12,120 Speaker 1: think their careers will go on. I do think Baker's 825 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:15,960 Speaker 1: a little bit different than Jimmy G. Because Jimmy G's 826 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,279 Speaker 1: older than Baker. I still think Baker has a lot 827 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,919 Speaker 1: left in his NFL career. I think Jimmy Garoppolo maybe 828 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:26,280 Speaker 1: has a couple chances left. And in terms of okay, 829 00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:29,120 Speaker 1: when he gets picked up by a team, what's the 830 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,560 Speaker 1: contract going to look like, if it's a one year deal, 831 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:36,320 Speaker 1: does he have success on that team? If he doesn't, 832 00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:39,040 Speaker 1: where else does he go? So I think the road 833 00:46:39,160 --> 00:46:43,000 Speaker 1: is ending sooner, of course on Jimmy Garoppolo because he 834 00:46:43,160 --> 00:46:47,040 Speaker 1: is an older quarterback. But you could look at him 835 00:46:47,080 --> 00:46:51,320 Speaker 1: then also as somebody who could take a backup quarterback 836 00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:54,399 Speaker 1: role in a few seasons, you know, three or four 837 00:46:54,480 --> 00:46:56,600 Speaker 1: years down the road. But I still think these these 838 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:59,080 Speaker 1: guys do have something left in the tank. It'll be 839 00:46:59,160 --> 00:47:02,480 Speaker 1: interesting to see where they land and the type of 840 00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:06,280 Speaker 1: offenses that are around them, and maybe the quarterback competition 841 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:08,440 Speaker 1: that they have to beat out to earn a starting spot. 842 00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:13,520 Speaker 1: I do think both of them still are starting caliber quarterbacks. 843 00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:17,279 Speaker 1: I think both of them unlike other guys around like 844 00:47:17,800 --> 00:47:24,200 Speaker 1: Mahomes and Josh Rogers, Brady, maybe a guy like Matt Stafford. 845 00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,040 Speaker 1: There are some of these guys around, maybe Kyler Murray. 846 00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I think those these two guys, Baker 847 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,080 Speaker 1: Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo, I think it is one hundred 848 00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:39,000 Speaker 1: percent about the situation they get dropped into. I don't 849 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 1: think either one of them has the the the ability 850 00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:46,480 Speaker 1: to carry a team on their back and raise the 851 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:48,680 Speaker 1: whole level of the whole place. Like you know, Tom 852 00:47:48,719 --> 00:47:50,879 Speaker 1: Brady going to Tampa Bay and they win the Super Bowl. Yeah, 853 00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:52,799 Speaker 1: I don't think either one of these guys have that 854 00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:57,200 Speaker 1: in them to be the difference maker. They're They're good, 855 00:47:57,239 --> 00:47:59,600 Speaker 1: not great, and even when they're at their best, they're 856 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:04,600 Speaker 1: great for a minute. That's where I see the problem 857 00:48:04,600 --> 00:48:06,279 Speaker 1: with both these guys. And that's why some team, if 858 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:10,560 Speaker 1: you're Carolina, I'm not giving up two ones for the 859 00:48:10,600 --> 00:48:13,880 Speaker 1: first pick of the draft four years ago, you know 860 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,160 Speaker 1: what I mean. I'm not doing that for Baker Mayfield. 861 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna do it. I'm not gonna do it 862 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:24,120 Speaker 1: for Jimmy Garoppolo either. His I'm just there's other guys 863 00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 1: out there that can give me what he gives me 864 00:48:26,040 --> 00:48:28,120 Speaker 1: in their mind. That's the that's the argument that can 865 00:48:28,160 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: be made. So I think it's it's really interesting to 866 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:35,439 Speaker 1: think about what these teams, the situation each team has. 867 00:48:35,560 --> 00:48:40,000 Speaker 1: And you know, obviously when you look around for Carolina, 868 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:43,080 Speaker 1: that's a spot where they would you if you're Carolina, 869 00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,839 Speaker 1: would you rather have Jimmy gear or Baker Mayfield? Which 870 00:48:45,880 --> 00:48:50,160 Speaker 1: one is the better guy? I want Baker Mayfield. Yeah, 871 00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:53,800 Speaker 1: I think so too. He's younger, and and people could 872 00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:57,000 Speaker 1: you know, he throws it better, Yes, he throws it better. 873 00:48:57,040 --> 00:48:59,000 Speaker 1: People could make the argument, you know, I don't want 874 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,160 Speaker 1: what comes along with Baker Mayfield and his character or 875 00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:05,600 Speaker 1: the way he's cocky, or what he says blah blah blah. 876 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,040 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he does enough to have 877 00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,480 Speaker 1: that be a problem on a team. You want a 878 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:13,200 Speaker 1: quarterback that is confident, and I think Baker is a 879 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: very confident individual. And maybe Yas says some things that 880 00:49:16,560 --> 00:49:18,880 Speaker 1: people get annoyed with, but I don't think it's anything 881 00:49:18,960 --> 00:49:22,240 Speaker 1: to look the other way if he's on the table 882 00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:26,240 Speaker 1: and available, I think he's a quarterback who can help 883 00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:31,359 Speaker 1: you in a lot of different ways. I think Baker's 884 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:34,800 Speaker 1: a really talented quarterback. So that's why I think wherever 885 00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:37,360 Speaker 1: he goes, he still has a lot left in his tank. 886 00:49:37,840 --> 00:49:41,319 Speaker 1: I think this is just an interesting situation that he's 887 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,320 Speaker 1: been placed in. And so if the Browns, the Browns 888 00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:50,440 Speaker 1: could be without a quarterback will come week one like right, yeah, 889 00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:53,279 Speaker 1: I mean that's what needs to be resolved. But both 890 00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:57,279 Speaker 1: of those guys being being quoted, having NFL executives and 891 00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 1: people at the higher levels of the NFL, both all 892 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,160 Speaker 1: of them kind of the consensus, and both these guys 893 00:50:03,160 --> 00:50:05,200 Speaker 1: are going to get released. Cleveland would love to get 894 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,960 Speaker 1: some compensation for him, but if nobody's willing to pay anything, 895 00:50:09,960 --> 00:50:12,000 Speaker 1: there you have. They're going to get released outright. And 896 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,120 Speaker 1: really if they get released, that means a team doesn't 897 00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 1: have to pay that Baker Mayfield the eighteen million dollars 898 00:50:16,920 --> 00:50:21,600 Speaker 1: he's guaranteed. Yeah, so we'll see. It'll be interesting. There's 899 00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,120 Speaker 1: a lot of team that teams that still need quarterbacks 900 00:50:24,200 --> 00:50:29,200 Speaker 1: or still have a quarterback competition going on. So I 901 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:32,120 Speaker 1: think there's several different spots where both of those could 902 00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,040 Speaker 1: land up at. Both those players could land at and 903 00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:39,200 Speaker 1: could have good careers in good years in twenty twenty two. 904 00:50:39,239 --> 00:50:43,000 Speaker 1: So we'll wait to see as more pieces fall once 905 00:50:43,040 --> 00:50:46,160 Speaker 1: those guys, if they do get released, and where they 906 00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,239 Speaker 1: end up. But we're going to take a break. We 907 00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:51,560 Speaker 1: will be right back. Don't go anywhere. Stick with us here. 908 00:50:51,760 --> 00:50:54,239 Speaker 1: One Bill's Live is presented by Kalida Health. This is 909 00:50:54,280 --> 00:51:14,600 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radium had a stove tasker who has been 910 00:51:14,719 --> 00:51:16,960 Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind 911 00:51:16,960 --> 00:51:22,640 Speaker 1: of a dual roll of thunder s stave a blimp. 912 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:30,120 Speaker 1: We're not even in the threaded here of normalcy. Welcome 913 00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:34,399 Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. It's a Friday afternoon here. 914 00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:38,440 Speaker 1: Maddie Glab alongside Steve Tasker fill in for Chris Browns 915 00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:41,120 Speaker 1: when he could get away for the weekend. A little 916 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:43,799 Speaker 1: bit quicker than us, but always happy to come fill in. 917 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,880 Speaker 1: You know. Did a segment about Mini camp and OTAs 918 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:49,240 Speaker 1: and everything that we've seen from the players, the coaching 919 00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,759 Speaker 1: staff as they've really been around since April. I was 920 00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:57,480 Speaker 1: thinking back as everybody's gone now, so the halls are 921 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:00,479 Speaker 1: quiet once again. They've been loud for like the last 922 00:52:00,560 --> 00:52:03,600 Speaker 1: month and a half with players and coaches, and they 923 00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:07,680 Speaker 1: have a much deserved five week break before we head 924 00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:11,800 Speaker 1: to Rochester for training camp, which the schedule was released yesterday, 925 00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,799 Speaker 1: so we know when these guys are starting, we know 926 00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:17,000 Speaker 1: when they'll be practicing, so we hope to have a 927 00:52:17,040 --> 00:52:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of people out at some of the open practices 928 00:52:19,120 --> 00:52:23,120 Speaker 1: there in Rochester. But it seems like the last month 929 00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 1: has just been so busy for everybody. Because for OTAs, 930 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:28,920 Speaker 1: there was we could watch practice once a week and 931 00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:32,839 Speaker 1: then players and coaches were talking once or twice a week. 932 00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,360 Speaker 1: And so it almost seemed like you got back into 933 00:52:35,560 --> 00:52:38,839 Speaker 1: like an in season rhythm for part of the week. 934 00:52:38,880 --> 00:52:41,160 Speaker 1: And I thought back, I'm like, these guys have been 935 00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:45,759 Speaker 1: here since April with workouts. I mean, we end the 936 00:52:45,760 --> 00:52:50,840 Speaker 1: season late January and they're back like a month and 937 00:52:50,840 --> 00:52:54,680 Speaker 1: a half later for workouts. And now it's June seventeenth, 938 00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,680 Speaker 1: and everybody is gone as they take a few weeks 939 00:52:57,719 --> 00:53:01,120 Speaker 1: off before training camp starts at the end of July. UM. 940 00:53:01,200 --> 00:53:03,800 Speaker 1: And of course, one thing that was thrown into mixed 941 00:53:04,080 --> 00:53:08,480 Speaker 1: into the mix that none of us expected, um, that 942 00:53:08,560 --> 00:53:11,759 Speaker 1: was really a bummer and a total Debbie downer was 943 00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:15,399 Speaker 1: the mass shooting in Buffalo. And I don't make light 944 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:17,520 Speaker 1: of it and explaining it that way at all. I 945 00:53:17,560 --> 00:53:20,920 Speaker 1: mean it was it was tragic, and it really threw 946 00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:23,799 Speaker 1: everybody off. As you know, we all are in our 947 00:53:24,400 --> 00:53:28,160 Speaker 1: daily schedules and and and going through the grind Monday 948 00:53:28,160 --> 00:53:30,520 Speaker 1: through Friday. Um, these guys were in the middle of 949 00:53:30,520 --> 00:53:34,359 Speaker 1: OTAs when this happened. UM, And it was necessary to 950 00:53:34,400 --> 00:53:38,080 Speaker 1: take that pause and to to not practice for the day. 951 00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:41,440 Speaker 1: As the players and the coaching staff went down to 952 00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 1: East Buffalo outside of the Tops and got to volunteer 953 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: and put together meals for people and talk to people 954 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,959 Speaker 1: and helped people process what they were growing going through. 955 00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:57,440 Speaker 1: And since then, UM, the support Annie Buffalo Anys Buffalo, 956 00:53:57,480 --> 00:53:59,800 Speaker 1: I think has has been really cool. And I hope 957 00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:03,399 Speaker 1: that never stops because that's UM a community that that 958 00:54:03,480 --> 00:54:06,760 Speaker 1: needs that help. That's a community that needs more grocery stores. 959 00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:09,080 Speaker 1: That's a community that needs love and support and a 960 00:54:09,120 --> 00:54:11,560 Speaker 1: lot of different ways and will continue to need that 961 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,680 Speaker 1: as as they grapple with and deal with what happened 962 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:20,200 Speaker 1: just over a month ago. They're a sickening racist attack, 963 00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:23,200 Speaker 1: UM at a grocery store. That community will never be 964 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:25,839 Speaker 1: the same. But UM, that community doesn't need to be 965 00:54:25,880 --> 00:54:30,160 Speaker 1: defined by that terrible, terrible thing. UM. I think it 966 00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:33,000 Speaker 1: can be defined on on how it comes together, on 967 00:54:33,200 --> 00:54:37,640 Speaker 1: what happens m after something like that took place. Hopefully 968 00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:41,200 Speaker 1: that community can grow in a lot of different ways. 969 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,759 Speaker 1: And the support from people on the outside, UM to 970 00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,360 Speaker 1: see how people have donated, have taken the time to 971 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:51,919 Speaker 1: come into town to help has also been really inspiring 972 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:55,480 Speaker 1: in different ways. And one of our own players, Dion Dawkins, 973 00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,760 Speaker 1: sat down with some former players UM to talk about 974 00:54:58,760 --> 00:55:01,360 Speaker 1: the mass shooting to talk a about what happened, and 975 00:55:01,440 --> 00:55:03,440 Speaker 1: it aired. I think it was an NFL films or 976 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 1: aired on NFL network. So we want to show that 977 00:55:06,000 --> 00:55:08,360 Speaker 1: to you guys right now. So if you're watching on MSG, 978 00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:11,000 Speaker 1: you guys can enjoy watching it. And if you're listening 979 00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:13,399 Speaker 1: on the radio, you're still going to get a lot 980 00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:16,720 Speaker 1: out of it. So here's Dion Dawkins with several former 981 00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:21,319 Speaker 1: and current Bills players. Seven years ago this week, a 982 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:25,200 Speaker 1: white supremacist walked into the Mother Emanuel Aam Church and 983 00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,720 Speaker 1: historic and spiritual landmark for the black community of Charleston, 984 00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:33,720 Speaker 1: South Carolina. He opened fire, killing three men and six women. 985 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:45,560 Speaker 1: Last month in Buffalo, New York, it's hateful and horrific 986 00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:50,359 Speaker 1: history repeated itself. A white male wearing military gear entered 987 00:55:50,360 --> 00:55:54,040 Speaker 1: the supermarket and a predominantly black neighborhood, shooting and killing 988 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:58,160 Speaker 1: ten people, including a security guard. The FBI is calling 989 00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:02,440 Speaker 1: this a racially motivated attack. This has to stop. It 990 00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:04,520 Speaker 1: has to stop. The hate has to stop. We need 991 00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:15,960 Speaker 1: more love. So so fellas we are in the pavilion 992 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,760 Speaker 1: a couple of blocks away from where that tragedy had 993 00:56:18,760 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 1: happened at the tops on Jefferson, I really want to 994 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:24,319 Speaker 1: thank you all for being here as black men? How 995 00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:28,000 Speaker 1: are we coping with this top shooting? I lived in 996 00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 1: a home about five blocks from here because it was 997 00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:33,440 Speaker 1: easy for me. I used to walk to the stadium 998 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,480 Speaker 1: for practice and for the game on Sundays, So it's 999 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 1: very it was very disturbing to me to see this 1000 00:56:41,160 --> 00:56:46,440 Speaker 1: tragedy that happens in my former neighborhood. Well, for me, 1001 00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:55,880 Speaker 1: I was devastated, just as Buffalo as a whole, and 1002 00:56:56,040 --> 00:57:00,880 Speaker 1: just people all across the country for a massacre to 1003 00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:08,080 Speaker 1: occur like this, a evil, evil person committing this tineous 1004 00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:15,640 Speaker 1: act all because of the color of our skin. That's 1005 00:57:15,680 --> 00:57:19,040 Speaker 1: the part that just infuriates me. I mean, we're in 1006 00:57:19,040 --> 00:57:21,959 Speaker 1: the twenty first century now. To steal words from Martin 1007 00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,280 Speaker 1: Luther King, why can't we judge a man by the 1008 00:57:25,360 --> 00:57:28,600 Speaker 1: content of his heart instead of the color of his skin. 1009 00:57:29,080 --> 00:57:31,200 Speaker 1: We can all get along if we can all just 1010 00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:36,000 Speaker 1: manage somehow to find tinness in our hearts to speak 1011 00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,120 Speaker 1: to the next guy. This is a world as a 1012 00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,960 Speaker 1: melting pot of beautiful people in it, and if you 1013 00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,280 Speaker 1: can't fit in it, then you need to move. It 1014 00:57:43,320 --> 00:57:47,360 Speaker 1: takes more time to hate someone than when people look 1015 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:51,280 Speaker 1: at me. Not everyone knows that I'm Deon Dawkins until 1016 00:57:51,320 --> 00:57:53,320 Speaker 1: they get to talking to me. And then when they 1017 00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:56,560 Speaker 1: get to talking to me and understanding I'm Deon Dawkins, 1018 00:57:56,920 --> 00:58:00,800 Speaker 1: left tackle for the Buffalo Bills, then that wall breaks down. 1019 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:05,000 Speaker 1: So the world, even to this day, still thinks that, oh, 1020 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,800 Speaker 1: because you're a football player, that you don't go through it. 1021 00:58:07,840 --> 00:58:09,800 Speaker 1: But we go through it, and just as much as 1022 00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 1: the regular person walking to the dollar store around the corner. 1023 00:58:15,360 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 1: It kind of happened to me this morning. Actually, I 1024 00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:22,200 Speaker 1: stay in a hotel down in West Seneca in the family. 1025 00:58:22,280 --> 00:58:24,880 Speaker 1: A white family walked out the door and we said 1026 00:58:24,880 --> 00:58:26,680 Speaker 1: it hights to him, but the mom didn't say hye 1027 00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,840 Speaker 1: to us. As they were walking to the car, he 1028 00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:32,400 Speaker 1: was walking out, she walks back and she grabs him 1029 00:58:32,400 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 1: by the hand and she looks at us, and the 1030 00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:40,840 Speaker 1: kid goes, mom, look, it's a Zim McKenzie. And she 1031 00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:44,680 Speaker 1: goes who. And I don't know if she was looking 1032 00:58:44,680 --> 00:58:46,880 Speaker 1: at Okay, who he's got standing here, or because we 1033 00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,560 Speaker 1: were black, or you know, any you know, any reason, 1034 00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,640 Speaker 1: but when he said that, she was like who, And 1035 00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,320 Speaker 1: then like she kind of like relaxed. It's like, Okay, 1036 00:58:55,800 --> 00:58:58,000 Speaker 1: my son's fine, like she let him go. We've got 1037 00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,800 Speaker 1: a lot of work to do, and it starts, obviously 1038 00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:06,400 Speaker 1: with having this conversation. But we've had these conversations before, 1039 00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:11,520 Speaker 1: you know, the thoughts and the prayers, No, do something 1040 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:17,480 Speaker 1: common sense gun control. I'm a Second Amendment guy. I 1041 00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:22,000 Speaker 1: believe in having firearms and owning. I would think our 1042 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:26,000 Speaker 1: founding fathers would have wanted us to use common sense. 1043 00:59:26,800 --> 00:59:29,680 Speaker 1: By the time the season starts, most of the nation 1044 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:33,640 Speaker 1: will have moved on. Let's hope not. What work do 1045 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:38,400 Speaker 1: we still have to do? Replay never let it get 1046 00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:41,600 Speaker 1: out of your mind. Replay the incident. You gotta remover 1047 00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:46,080 Speaker 1: what happened. You know, we've gotten a lot of national 1048 00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:51,320 Speaker 1: media attention for the wrong reasons. But now they've gone. 1049 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:57,800 Speaker 1: This is where Buffalo steps in. This is where the 1050 00:59:57,840 --> 01:00:10,040 Speaker 1: community steps in. It is time to pour some resources 1051 01:00:10,600 --> 01:00:16,400 Speaker 1: into this community, into these these families that have been uh, 1052 01:00:16,440 --> 01:00:21,920 Speaker 1: their loved ones have been luck all of the face 1053 01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:27,440 Speaker 1: of this earth. So this is an opportunity for for us, 1054 01:00:28,680 --> 01:00:33,440 Speaker 1: all the citizens of Buffalo, to pour every ounce of 1055 01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:43,080 Speaker 1: love that we have within us. A really inspiring roundtable 1056 01:00:43,080 --> 01:00:48,200 Speaker 1: conversation with Dion Dawkins Isaam Mackenzie, Bruce Smith, several different 1057 01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:53,600 Speaker 1: former and current players. Amazing yell part of that VT 1058 01:00:54,400 --> 01:00:58,520 Speaker 1: UM Leonard was Leonard Smith was in there as well. UM. 1059 01:00:58,680 --> 01:01:01,440 Speaker 1: But so cool to see those guys be willing to 1060 01:01:01,480 --> 01:01:05,040 Speaker 1: talk about something so tough like that. UM. Many of 1061 01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:08,920 Speaker 1: them were also have also been UM to East Buffalo 1062 01:01:09,080 --> 01:01:13,360 Speaker 1: since then multiple times. UM. I volunteered with Leonard Smith 1063 01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:17,880 Speaker 1: one morning, UM getting some food boxes ready to go 1064 01:01:17,960 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 1: for people. UM. So there's so many different ways to volunteer. 1065 01:01:21,640 --> 01:01:23,919 Speaker 1: There's so many different ways to give back. UM, there's 1066 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:26,840 Speaker 1: so many different ways to support that that community that 1067 01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:29,640 Speaker 1: is still a need today and is going to be 1068 01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,560 Speaker 1: in need after people move on from this tragic incident. 1069 01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,440 Speaker 1: Like Dion said or read in that in that feature story, 1070 01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,600 Speaker 1: by the time the season starts, a lot of people 1071 01:01:39,600 --> 01:01:42,640 Speaker 1: will have forgotten about this and and and Bruce said, 1072 01:01:42,680 --> 01:01:45,960 Speaker 1: you know, it's time to pour everything we have UM 1073 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,520 Speaker 1: as as people a Buffalo into that community and that 1074 01:01:48,560 --> 01:01:52,400 Speaker 1: can be something that goes on forever and hopefully is 1075 01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:55,320 Speaker 1: in the back of people's minds for so long. UM. 1076 01:01:55,760 --> 01:01:58,720 Speaker 1: You and I come from a fortunate upbringing. UM, we 1077 01:01:58,720 --> 01:02:01,240 Speaker 1: didn't have to deal UM with a lot of different 1078 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,200 Speaker 1: things that that black people have to deal with, UM 1079 01:02:04,240 --> 01:02:07,360 Speaker 1: when it comes to racial profiling or instances that that 1080 01:02:07,400 --> 01:02:09,640 Speaker 1: they're put in because of the color of their skin. 1081 01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 1: And I think the least thing that we can do 1082 01:02:13,200 --> 01:02:16,560 Speaker 1: UM as somebody who's who's privileged and who who grew 1083 01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:19,919 Speaker 1: up more fortunate in different ways because we didn't get 1084 01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:24,920 Speaker 1: judged by the skin color that we have is to 1085 01:02:24,920 --> 01:02:28,120 Speaker 1: to love people and to show support and to help 1086 01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,680 Speaker 1: communities UM in need, like like East Buffalo. UM. I 1087 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,959 Speaker 1: explained this last time I was on air. I think, 1088 01:02:35,480 --> 01:02:37,600 Speaker 1: what one thing that I'm trying to do that is 1089 01:02:37,680 --> 01:02:41,840 Speaker 1: so easy UM and can be an extra ten dollars 1090 01:02:41,840 --> 01:02:44,560 Speaker 1: if you have that to give UM every week or 1091 01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:47,760 Speaker 1: every month, is when I'm at the grocery store, I'm 1092 01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 1: going to pick up a couple extra things and drop 1093 01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:54,840 Speaker 1: them off at a location that's accepting food. Because there 1094 01:02:54,880 --> 01:02:58,280 Speaker 1: are so many different locations across the city of Buffalo, 1095 01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:02,080 Speaker 1: whether it's UM bridges that offer free food to people 1096 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:04,920 Speaker 1: that you can constantly stock. I think last week I 1097 01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:08,320 Speaker 1: picked up a couple bags of apples, potatoes, and oranges, 1098 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,760 Speaker 1: and I think total it was an extra thirty dollars. 1099 01:03:10,760 --> 01:03:12,920 Speaker 1: And if you have something like that, even that can 1100 01:03:13,320 --> 01:03:17,280 Speaker 1: can make a small impact in somebody's life. You know, 1101 01:03:17,360 --> 01:03:20,640 Speaker 1: food is important. People need food to live. But the 1102 01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:25,000 Speaker 1: support that that community needs today, tomorrow and next week 1103 01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,640 Speaker 1: isn't going to go away because we forget about something 1104 01:03:27,720 --> 01:03:30,760 Speaker 1: like like this tragic thing that happens. Well the East 1105 01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:35,360 Speaker 1: Side and Jefferson Avenue, and that was a rallying point. 1106 01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:38,040 Speaker 1: There's tons of stuff. Even you don't have to drive 1107 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 1: all the way into the city, there's always somebody you 1108 01:03:39,880 --> 01:03:41,720 Speaker 1: can reach out to and help or be a part 1109 01:03:41,720 --> 01:03:43,360 Speaker 1: of their lives or make their day a little better, 1110 01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:45,280 Speaker 1: or contribute in some way, shape or form. I just 1111 01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:50,000 Speaker 1: want to take and kudos to the snowman, Dion Dawkins 1112 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,520 Speaker 1: for making that happen. For that roundtable appen pulled Bruce 1113 01:03:53,040 --> 01:03:56,520 Speaker 1: Smith and Darryl Talley in Booker Edgerson, who's a fixture 1114 01:03:56,560 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 1: here in Buffalo from his time with in the sixties 1115 01:03:58,720 --> 01:04:01,920 Speaker 1: with the Buffalo Bills. He's the president of the NFL 1116 01:04:02,200 --> 01:04:07,040 Speaker 1: of the Bills alumni here in Buffalo, you know, and 1117 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 1: Leonard Smith, who's a former teammate of mine, and of 1118 01:04:09,360 --> 01:04:12,720 Speaker 1: course Isaiah McKenzie as well. It's nice to see those 1119 01:04:12,720 --> 01:04:16,240 Speaker 1: guys sit down together and h and reiterate what we 1120 01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 1: all feel that, you know, you gotta let's be better 1121 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,439 Speaker 1: because of this, Let's be better because of it. And 1122 01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,960 Speaker 1: and I'm I'm glad we took a minute to show that. 1123 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:28,000 Speaker 1: I don't know that a lot of people have seen it. 1124 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think it did go on 1125 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:34,960 Speaker 1: NFL Network or thereabouts. But Dion Dawkins and his round 1126 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:38,880 Speaker 1: table with Bruce and Booker, Leonard, Isaiah and Darryl that 1127 01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:40,720 Speaker 1: was nice. Yeah, And that's not the only thing Dion 1128 01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,280 Speaker 1: has done. He just came out with a Player's Tribune article. 1129 01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,440 Speaker 1: He has quote tweeted it. I'm sure the Bills have 1130 01:04:47,480 --> 01:04:51,760 Speaker 1: tweeted it. I've retweeted it. But it's titled Buffalo and 1131 01:04:51,920 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 1: it's about the tragic racist attack at that tops um 1132 01:04:56,480 --> 01:05:00,360 Speaker 1: and he kind of details from his experience what it 1133 01:05:00,440 --> 01:05:02,440 Speaker 1: was like to hear about something like that, what it 1134 01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 1: was like to get into that community and help volunteer, 1135 01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:09,640 Speaker 1: and what he wants for Buffalo going forward. Um. And 1136 01:05:09,680 --> 01:05:12,520 Speaker 1: we did a really cool shoot with Dion Dawkins and 1137 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,120 Speaker 1: with Benny the Butcher Um, who's an artist who's from 1138 01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:19,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo and has really blown up over the last couple 1139 01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:22,480 Speaker 1: of years, and it's cool to think that he's he 1140 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,360 Speaker 1: even still has the time of day for the Buffalo Bills. 1141 01:05:25,680 --> 01:05:28,840 Speaker 1: Um Dion and Benny are are really close. Benny grew 1142 01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,680 Speaker 1: up in East Buffalo. So the shoot that we did 1143 01:05:31,760 --> 01:05:34,720 Speaker 1: yesterday and it's going to come out mid July is 1144 01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:38,520 Speaker 1: we went to Benny's old house on Montana Avenue where 1145 01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:42,400 Speaker 1: he grew up, and Dion and Benny had some some 1146 01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:45,520 Speaker 1: really candid conversations about what it was like to grow 1147 01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,560 Speaker 1: up on that side of town. UM, what some of 1148 01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,760 Speaker 1: the struggles that Benny faced as faced as a young 1149 01:05:52,920 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 1: black boy, UM in the United States of America, and 1150 01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,960 Speaker 1: what it was like to grow up in an area 1151 01:06:00,120 --> 01:06:03,360 Speaker 1: that was very segregated. UM, what he wants to see 1152 01:06:03,480 --> 01:06:07,640 Speaker 1: for East Buffalo. They talked about the shooting, They talked 1153 01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 1: about a song that Benny just came out with that 1154 01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 1: that details the shooting and his thoughts on it and 1155 01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:19,080 Speaker 1: East Buffalo as a whole, and just a really cool conversation. 1156 01:06:19,360 --> 01:06:21,960 Speaker 1: Um Dion had some really great things to say too, 1157 01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,360 Speaker 1: you know. Um He admitted, sometimes as a player, it's 1158 01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:30,680 Speaker 1: it's hard to think about or get into other parts 1159 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,040 Speaker 1: of the community because you usually live out by the 1160 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:37,520 Speaker 1: stadium in Orchard Park, which is a great place to live. 1161 01:06:38,600 --> 01:06:40,840 Speaker 1: But you wake up, you go to work, you do 1162 01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,920 Speaker 1: your job, you come home, you rest, and you relax, 1163 01:06:44,000 --> 01:06:45,960 Speaker 1: and then you get up again and you go to 1164 01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: practice and you're you're doing meetings and you're having games, 1165 01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:52,720 Speaker 1: and you're preparing for your next opponent. And so in 1166 01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,560 Speaker 1: season you kind of have the blinders on in a 1167 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,440 Speaker 1: lot of different ways. And that's an okay thing because 1168 01:06:58,480 --> 01:07:01,840 Speaker 1: you have to because that's what you're signment is. So 1169 01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: he admitted, you know, it's hard sometimes to get to 1170 01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:09,080 Speaker 1: know other areas or to pour into UM different places 1171 01:07:09,120 --> 01:07:11,600 Speaker 1: in the community. And he's done a lot with Rooted 1172 01:07:11,640 --> 01:07:16,360 Speaker 1: for Love UM, which is UM an organization here UM 1173 01:07:16,600 --> 01:07:19,040 Speaker 1: that does a lot with food and helping people get 1174 01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: the food that they need UM. But he said, what 1175 01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 1: happened in East Buffalo is just a reminder to pour 1176 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:30,000 Speaker 1: into different communities throughout Buffalo. So I've just been really 1177 01:07:30,040 --> 01:07:32,360 Speaker 1: proud in what he's been able to do. UM in 1178 01:07:32,400 --> 01:07:34,520 Speaker 1: the voice that he has, in the voice that he 1179 01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:39,800 Speaker 1: feels comfortable using, he is an amazing human. It has 1180 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,200 Speaker 1: been so great to get to know somebody like Dion 1181 01:07:42,280 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 1: since coming to the Buffalo Bills. UM so proud of 1182 01:07:46,040 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 1: the type of person that he is, the time that 1183 01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:52,760 Speaker 1: he gives back. He is somebody who I could text him. 1184 01:07:52,800 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: He's not around right now because he's back in Florida, 1185 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 1: but if he were in Buffalo and I was I 1186 01:07:56,760 --> 01:08:00,160 Speaker 1: needed something, I could say, Hey, Dion, we need you 1187 01:08:00,200 --> 01:08:03,439 Speaker 1: for an interview at this time, can you be there? Sure, 1188 01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:07,080 Speaker 1: Maddie of course? Or if it's community relations reaching out 1189 01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:10,040 Speaker 1: to him saying Heydon, we have this event for the 1190 01:08:10,080 --> 01:08:12,600 Speaker 1: Boys and Girls Club or whoever, do you want to 1191 01:08:12,640 --> 01:08:15,080 Speaker 1: be a part of it. It's on Saturday, You're one 1192 01:08:15,160 --> 01:08:18,120 Speaker 1: day off this week. He would say, of course, I 1193 01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,080 Speaker 1: would love to be there. Um, And I know we 1194 01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,799 Speaker 1: have this conversation a lot about the type of players 1195 01:08:23,840 --> 01:08:27,320 Speaker 1: on this team, but he is one of many guys 1196 01:08:27,360 --> 01:08:29,920 Speaker 1: who are like this on the Buffalo Bill's roster, and 1197 01:08:29,960 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 1: it's I feel so blessed to get to interact with 1198 01:08:32,600 --> 01:08:35,599 Speaker 1: these guys almost every single day, and I just I 1199 01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,360 Speaker 1: love showing that to our community and to our fans 1200 01:08:38,400 --> 01:08:42,400 Speaker 1: because they are They're so special. Yeah, there's it's not 1201 01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:44,680 Speaker 1: just on the field where these guys are successful. They're 1202 01:08:44,680 --> 01:08:46,840 Speaker 1: successful on the field because of the kind of human 1203 01:08:46,840 --> 01:08:50,160 Speaker 1: beings they are and the team building that they put 1204 01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,479 Speaker 1: put in here with Sean McDermott and his staff, it 1205 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,720 Speaker 1: is a it's a it's a special place right now 1206 01:08:55,800 --> 01:08:58,599 Speaker 1: and this point in history one Bill's drives pretty special career. 1207 01:08:59,080 --> 01:09:02,960 Speaker 1: They got guys like d and Josh Isaiah mackenzie. They've 1208 01:09:02,960 --> 01:09:04,720 Speaker 1: got these guys in here that are that are pre 1209 01:09:04,920 --> 01:09:10,160 Speaker 1: special guys, and I think Buffalo UM when in this 1210 01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,439 Speaker 1: last month when it has needed them most, they have 1211 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:14,839 Speaker 1: done their best to rise of the occasion. Sean mcgimman 1212 01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:18,920 Speaker 1: taking the whole team down to Jefferson Avenue, UM, the 1213 01:09:18,960 --> 01:09:22,000 Speaker 1: club raising over a million dollars through whatever they did 1214 01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,639 Speaker 1: within the Choose Love t shirts and all the other 1215 01:09:24,680 --> 01:09:28,160 Speaker 1: things they did. UM. It's a great effort by them 1216 01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:33,919 Speaker 1: and and UM, and it's it just seems so natural 1217 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:35,840 Speaker 1: for this group of guys to do that. It doesn't 1218 01:09:35,840 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 1: seem like wow, where I didn't think they would. It 1219 01:09:38,160 --> 01:09:40,479 Speaker 1: just seems like, yeah, that it makes sense for these 1220 01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:42,680 Speaker 1: group of guys to be those kind of guys, to 1221 01:09:42,760 --> 01:09:45,200 Speaker 1: be the guys that go down there. UH. To put 1222 01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:49,639 Speaker 1: out an article on UM on the player Tribune.

This is Buffalo Bills Radio. 1236 01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:42,240 Speaker 1: We're back here on One Bill's Live and as promised, 1237 01:10:42,880 --> 01:10:45,320 Speaker 1: you guys tweeted in some great questions for us. We 1238 01:10:45,360 --> 01:10:50,440 Speaker 1: appreciate it. So let's get to our Friday fan mail bag. 1239 01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 1: We've got some great questions that we are going to 1240 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 1: get into. Yeah, there are some really good ones this 1241 01:10:56,240 --> 01:11:00,080 Speaker 1: week and someonem king hard to answer. I know some 1242 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,040 Speaker 1: of them. Are you know, pick your poison? What do 1243 01:11:02,080 --> 01:11:05,400 Speaker 1: you think it's hard. It's hard to have some takes 1244 01:11:05,439 --> 01:11:08,080 Speaker 1: here June some teen three. They haven't seen too much 1245 01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:11,200 Speaker 1: from some of these new players in training camp, though, 1246 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:15,000 Speaker 1: we'll have all the hot takes. Sorry. So number one 1247 01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:18,120 Speaker 1: is from Rachel. She says, I know it's early, but 1248 01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:20,320 Speaker 1: if you had to guess at this point, do you 1249 01:11:20,320 --> 01:11:25,040 Speaker 1: think Singletary or Cook will get more snaps week one today? 1250 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:30,160 Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be Singletary. I can see why 1251 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:33,599 Speaker 1: you might think Cook, but I think the way they've 1252 01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:35,800 Speaker 1: done things in the past, there's there's every chance even 1253 01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:39,640 Speaker 1: if single, even if Cook has a tremendous camp and all. 1254 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:44,720 Speaker 1: I mean, we've seen like aj Panessa and Boogie Basham 1255 01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:48,280 Speaker 1: be healthy scratches on their first day of their rookie season, 1256 01:11:48,360 --> 01:11:50,479 Speaker 1: first game of the rookie season. I don't think that'll 1257 01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:55,519 Speaker 1: happen to James Cook. But yeah, I think I think 1258 01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:59,000 Speaker 1: they'll probably stick with the experienced guy and let and 1259 01:11:59,080 --> 01:12:02,120 Speaker 1: let Terry take most of the snaps. I would say 1260 01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 1: Singletary as well. Snaps is an interesting word there, because 1261 01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,679 Speaker 1: are you talking about snaps at a running back position 1262 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:19,840 Speaker 1: or running the football on the field, catching passes beyond 1263 01:12:19,880 --> 01:12:23,200 Speaker 1: the field. I'll still go with Singletary there, but I 1264 01:12:23,240 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: do think James Cook plays a role in this offense 1265 01:12:26,439 --> 01:12:30,719 Speaker 1: from week one, from day one of the twenty twenty 1266 01:12:30,720 --> 01:12:33,519 Speaker 1: two season. I think they drafted him because of that. 1267 01:12:33,600 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 1: I think they drafted him because if you turn on 1268 01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:39,040 Speaker 1: the tape from what he did at Georgia, he's a 1269 01:12:39,160 --> 01:12:42,439 Speaker 1: very versatile player who, like I said a couple of 1270 01:12:42,560 --> 01:12:46,559 Speaker 1: segments ago, is a piece to take this offense to 1271 01:12:46,600 --> 01:12:50,120 Speaker 1: the next level. Which is absolutely crazy to think about 1272 01:12:50,120 --> 01:12:53,040 Speaker 1: the fact that this offense could take another step forward 1273 01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,600 Speaker 1: this season. I mean they've been taking steps forward the 1274 01:12:55,680 --> 01:13:00,439 Speaker 1: last three years, make it four. Because you have players 1275 01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:03,959 Speaker 1: like James Cook, OJ Howard, Jamison Crowder on your offense 1276 01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,599 Speaker 1: who you can play the mismatch game all you want 1277 01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:11,559 Speaker 1: with different bodies like this, because for some defenses they 1278 01:13:11,600 --> 01:13:14,360 Speaker 1: may not have somebody to line up against James Cook 1279 01:13:14,479 --> 01:13:17,040 Speaker 1: depending on what he's doing. Yeah, it's a matchup league, 1280 01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,200 Speaker 1: so we'll see. It's gonna be interesting just to find 1281 01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:21,960 Speaker 1: out that you think with Knox and maybe OJ Howard 1282 01:13:21,960 --> 01:13:26,160 Speaker 1: two tight ends Singletary and James Cook with different skill sets, 1283 01:13:27,600 --> 01:13:31,080 Speaker 1: you've got twenty two personnel out there, right, or you 1284 01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:37,400 Speaker 1: could run or you could run like zero one one 1285 01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:40,680 Speaker 1: personnel right like no running backs on one tight end, 1286 01:13:40,720 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 1: you know that kind of thing. So it goes all 1287 01:13:42,439 --> 01:13:46,880 Speaker 1: the way from five wide to UM three tights and 1288 01:13:46,920 --> 01:13:50,320 Speaker 1: two two backs. It's gonna be a lot of fun 1289 01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,840 Speaker 1: to see what Ken Dorsey does with the personnel and 1290 01:13:53,920 --> 01:13:55,920 Speaker 1: the groupings that he has at his disposal and what 1291 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:57,479 Speaker 1: those might be and how they play. And am I 1292 01:13:57,560 --> 01:13:59,320 Speaker 1: I can't wait for the regular seat. I mean the 1293 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,679 Speaker 1: preseasons we can start to get at least a little 1294 01:14:01,720 --> 01:14:06,120 Speaker 1: bit of a of an idea. The word positionless defensive 1295 01:14:06,160 --> 01:14:11,720 Speaker 1: players exist because of offenses like the Buffalo Bills. You 1296 01:14:11,800 --> 01:14:15,639 Speaker 1: have to throw different defenses at offenses like this because 1297 01:14:15,680 --> 01:14:19,839 Speaker 1: it just doesn't match up, like cornered a wide receiver 1298 01:14:20,040 --> 01:14:23,400 Speaker 1: or say to what's going to happen in the back end. 1299 01:14:23,600 --> 01:14:26,120 Speaker 1: You know, positionless offensive players a guy that can play 1300 01:14:26,160 --> 01:14:29,639 Speaker 1: tight end slash fullback, slash running back slash wide receiver. 1301 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:35,680 Speaker 1: That's hard to do, particularly with size involved, but you 1302 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,679 Speaker 1: know that's what you're kind of trying to find people 1303 01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:39,880 Speaker 1: to do. You got the full back, slash tight end, 1304 01:14:39,920 --> 01:14:41,719 Speaker 1: the h back kind of thing that's kind of common. 1305 01:14:42,360 --> 01:14:47,360 Speaker 1: Running backslash wide receiver. But you don't really have wide 1306 01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: receiver slash running back. You've got tight end slash receiver. 1307 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:53,920 Speaker 1: And sometimes they'll move back, you know what I mean. 1308 01:14:53,960 --> 01:14:56,320 Speaker 1: So they're either one or the other. Like get SICKI 1309 01:14:56,360 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 1: down in Miami. He's a kind of a wide receiver 1310 01:14:58,280 --> 01:15:02,120 Speaker 1: who just sees technically a tight end. But yeah, you know, 1311 01:15:02,200 --> 01:15:06,719 Speaker 1: so that's where they're headed. Is getting somebody an offensive 1312 01:15:06,720 --> 01:15:09,880 Speaker 1: player who can play all over the place and you 1313 01:15:09,880 --> 01:15:11,640 Speaker 1: can actually hand him the ball or throw him the 1314 01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,880 Speaker 1: football or and maybe he can. But when you get 1315 01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:16,320 Speaker 1: a guy like that, and then if you can figure 1316 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,800 Speaker 1: out a way he can run block and pass block 1317 01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,280 Speaker 1: or pass protect, yeah, that's still that's still a unicorn 1318 01:15:23,360 --> 01:15:26,200 Speaker 1: I haven't seen. We'll Steve James Cook can do some 1319 01:15:26,240 --> 01:15:28,519 Speaker 1: of that this season. I think he definitely will have 1320 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,599 Speaker 1: the opportunity to. All Right, number two from Nick, can 1321 01:15:31,680 --> 01:15:34,840 Speaker 1: we try to incorporate some more quick passes just a 1322 01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:37,880 Speaker 1: three step drop and throw. We did some wide receiver 1323 01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,439 Speaker 1: screens last year, but everything else seem to be routes 1324 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,280 Speaker 1: of ten or more yards down the field. Why not 1325 01:15:44,400 --> 01:15:46,960 Speaker 1: mix things up with some quick seven yards slants or 1326 01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:50,479 Speaker 1: quick out routes. What do you that's interesting? Brownie and 1327 01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:53,880 Speaker 1: I we've had this conversation before about the fact that 1328 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,080 Speaker 1: Josh has always been and maybe this is a function 1329 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,559 Speaker 1: of the routes that he's talking about. Josh has always 1330 01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,320 Speaker 1: been kind of a put the ball on the guy 1331 01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:03,519 Speaker 1: kind of quarterback. Where you see Cole Beasley standing there, 1332 01:16:03,560 --> 01:16:05,880 Speaker 1: turn around on the dead part of the of the defense, 1333 01:16:05,920 --> 01:16:09,080 Speaker 1: it just turns around, Josh sticks it right on him. Certainly, 1334 01:16:09,080 --> 01:16:11,519 Speaker 1: he hits Steph Diggs on the run a few times, 1335 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,280 Speaker 1: and he did that a lot when Isaiah McKenzie was 1336 01:16:14,320 --> 01:16:17,840 Speaker 1: in the game. He hits Gave Davis running down the 1337 01:16:17,840 --> 01:16:22,880 Speaker 1: football field like that. But I get that too. I 1338 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:29,360 Speaker 1: don't know if there was a reason to only use 1339 01:16:29,439 --> 01:16:31,240 Speaker 1: quick routes, and I couldn't think of what it was. 1340 01:16:31,240 --> 01:16:33,439 Speaker 1: Whether rather than having guys drop you know, having the 1341 01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:35,599 Speaker 1: quarterback drop back five steps and letting them give him 1342 01:16:35,600 --> 01:16:37,040 Speaker 1: the chance to get down the field and stretch of 1343 01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:41,880 Speaker 1: the defense. I know that run after catch was something 1344 01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:43,760 Speaker 1: the Bills were not very good out a year ago. 1345 01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:47,120 Speaker 1: Maybe if they wanted to improve that, or if they 1346 01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:49,160 Speaker 1: thought they would get some benefit from it, they would 1347 01:16:49,160 --> 01:16:50,920 Speaker 1: probably do that. A three step and hit the guy 1348 01:16:50,960 --> 01:16:53,479 Speaker 1: on a slant where he could outrun some people at 1349 01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:59,080 Speaker 1: the corner or a cross the formation. That's it's not 1350 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:00,960 Speaker 1: so much the quick game, but there's some others here 1351 01:17:01,160 --> 01:17:03,479 Speaker 1: down further down, But the screen game is one. I'd 1352 01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:05,240 Speaker 1: like to see him get back to you as well. 1353 01:17:05,920 --> 01:17:08,360 Speaker 1: And I think, you know, James Cook's perfect for that. 1354 01:17:09,280 --> 01:17:14,080 Speaker 1: But then again, um, you know, you gotta have guys 1355 01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:15,840 Speaker 1: that can run, an offensive lineman that can run it 1356 01:17:16,360 --> 01:17:18,839 Speaker 1: and if you know, and I'm not saying they couldn't 1357 01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,160 Speaker 1: in the past, but they didn't. There was no there. 1358 01:17:21,840 --> 01:17:23,519 Speaker 1: I don't know what the reason was why they didn't 1359 01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:29,800 Speaker 1: there they didn't. Yeah, yeah, I mean to do screens, 1360 01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:32,720 Speaker 1: to do slant like quick slants. What you need is 1361 01:17:32,760 --> 01:17:36,080 Speaker 1: you need and for any type of offense, I mean 1362 01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:38,960 Speaker 1: you need it working in Unison, but for something that's 1363 01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,679 Speaker 1: going to happen not too far away from the offensive line, 1364 01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,639 Speaker 1: you need the offensive line to do a good job 1365 01:17:44,680 --> 01:17:50,000 Speaker 1: blocking for you. Um it's no shit, Like we know 1366 01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:53,840 Speaker 1: that the offensive line flipped and turned and twisted in 1367 01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:56,760 Speaker 1: a lot of ways last year because of injuries and 1368 01:17:56,840 --> 01:17:59,760 Speaker 1: because of covid. Um. We'll see what happens this year. 1369 01:17:59,840 --> 01:18:02,439 Speaker 1: I every year, I'm like, maybe we'll finally have an 1370 01:18:02,439 --> 01:18:05,240 Speaker 1: offensive line where we see five of the same players 1371 01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:09,840 Speaker 1: on the field for the entire season. Maybe not. They 1372 01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 1: brought in some great veterans this offseason to to fight 1373 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:19,080 Speaker 1: for a spot on the starting five, and I'm sure, 1374 01:18:19,560 --> 01:18:22,160 Speaker 1: yes we have a new offensive line coach, Um and 1375 01:18:22,280 --> 01:18:24,519 Speaker 1: Aaron Kromer, but I'm sure it's gonna be the same 1376 01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:28,840 Speaker 1: thing of we're gonna mix and match these guys until 1377 01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,920 Speaker 1: Week one is here. We're not gonna name a starting 1378 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,360 Speaker 1: five because we want to see what different rotations we have, 1379 01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:38,519 Speaker 1: what different guys work together in case somebody gets hurt. 1380 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:42,439 Speaker 1: Um screenplays, I'm all for more screenplays. I would I 1381 01:18:42,439 --> 01:18:44,759 Speaker 1: would love to see them work that into the offense 1382 01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,880 Speaker 1: a little bit more Um in twenty twenty two, because 1383 01:18:48,240 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 1: I agree last year. I mean, you're you're you're playing 1384 01:18:51,400 --> 01:18:55,200 Speaker 1: armchair offensive coordinator, and you're like, maybe some great plays 1385 01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,920 Speaker 1: would have helped us get a couple more hours we 1386 01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,320 Speaker 1: move the ball down field. It's a couple of things. 1387 01:18:59,479 --> 01:19:02,080 Speaker 1: One thing, it takes the starch out of a pass 1388 01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:04,280 Speaker 1: rush when they think, oh wait, they might just throw 1389 01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:08,559 Speaker 1: this right behind us. It also gives your running back, 1390 01:19:08,600 --> 01:19:10,519 Speaker 1: some space in your offensive lineman a chance to get 1391 01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:14,240 Speaker 1: out in front, and it's it's an easy completion. You 1392 01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,840 Speaker 1: get rid of it. All of that stuff happens, and 1393 01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:18,920 Speaker 1: it gives you a chance for a running back taking 1394 01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,840 Speaker 1: easy completion the distance. You know, you get those guys 1395 01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: out in front. It's hard though, too when you gotta 1396 01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,880 Speaker 1: Maybe it's harder when you got a quarterback like Joe. 1397 01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:31,800 Speaker 1: I haven't already thought about this, but maybe it's harder 1398 01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:35,120 Speaker 1: with a quarterback like Josh when the defense thinks, well, 1399 01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:39,719 Speaker 1: he doesn't throw him because he is the screen pass. 1400 01:19:39,760 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 1: He'll just tuck it under his arm and take off. Yeah, 1401 01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:47,920 Speaker 1: So they rush guys like Josh, like Pat Mahomes, like 1402 01:19:48,000 --> 01:19:50,760 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, Lamar Jackson. They rush those guys a little 1403 01:19:50,760 --> 01:19:53,120 Speaker 1: bit differently because they try and they kind of try 1404 01:19:53,120 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 1: and stay in their lanes instead of doing all the 1405 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:58,360 Speaker 1: stunts and picks and moves up and the the x X 1406 01:19:58,400 --> 01:20:02,559 Speaker 1: maneuvers up front because if they leave a gap, he'll 1407 01:20:02,600 --> 01:20:04,960 Speaker 1: take off and snap off a nineteen yard run. So 1408 01:20:05,439 --> 01:20:09,559 Speaker 1: there's is that where a defense views your offense as 1409 01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,400 Speaker 1: one that doesn't run screezing because you got a quarterback 1410 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:16,000 Speaker 1: that's too good to throw it. Uh, there's too good 1411 01:20:16,040 --> 01:20:18,760 Speaker 1: to uh you know, to get himmed in by a 1412 01:20:18,800 --> 01:20:22,880 Speaker 1: pass rush. Um and if if guys start coming through 1413 01:20:22,880 --> 01:20:28,320 Speaker 1: on Josh fast, he just outruns them. So the screens, 1414 01:20:28,360 --> 01:20:30,360 Speaker 1: for some reason, there's a there's a different view of 1415 01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 1: a screen pass for the Buffalo Bills, both on the 1416 01:20:32,479 --> 01:20:36,440 Speaker 1: offensive side and on the defensive side when you're defending them, 1417 01:20:36,479 --> 01:20:39,000 Speaker 1: because you know, you just you got this quarterback that 1418 01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,000 Speaker 1: runs and I'm not gonna let him do that. So 1419 01:20:41,040 --> 01:20:43,400 Speaker 1: when you're not letting him run, you're also taking away 1420 01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:47,400 Speaker 1: the enticement there is to run a screen because the 1421 01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:51,320 Speaker 1: pass rush is not getting the penetration. That's true. I mean, 1422 01:20:51,360 --> 01:20:54,200 Speaker 1: I don't know if I've kind of thinking on my 1423 01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 1: feet there, but maybe that's it makes a little sense. 1424 01:20:57,280 --> 01:20:59,120 Speaker 1: Maybe ye may a little. I don't know if it's 1425 01:20:59,160 --> 01:21:01,400 Speaker 1: true or not, though, I just kind of conjecture, ipart. 1426 01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,439 Speaker 1: But there's there's got to be a reason. You know, 1427 01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,720 Speaker 1: the Chiefs they'll throw some, but they do that, you know, 1428 01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:13,120 Speaker 1: the shovel passes and that kind of stuff. Yeah, more so, Yeah, 1429 01:21:13,240 --> 01:21:15,920 Speaker 1: maybe maybe screen passes have come and gone in the NFL. 1430 01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:18,080 Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't think it's still a nice 1431 01:21:18,080 --> 01:21:20,519 Speaker 1: little mix to have in there to throw off what 1432 01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,920 Speaker 1: you're doing. Yeah, maybe that's something has something to do 1433 01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:25,800 Speaker 1: with it with the back that you got running quarterbacks 1434 01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:29,440 Speaker 1: in the league, and the rush pass rush is relegated 1435 01:21:29,439 --> 01:21:32,280 Speaker 1: to stay in their lanes a little bit. All right, 1436 01:21:32,280 --> 01:21:35,840 Speaker 1: We'll do another one circling the wagons, asks which player 1437 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,600 Speaker 1: could take a step up in twenty twenty two that 1438 01:21:38,680 --> 01:21:42,840 Speaker 1: will make the most impact on offense or defense. This 1439 01:21:42,960 --> 01:21:45,840 Speaker 1: is kind in the middle of the questions that we asked. 1440 01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:49,559 Speaker 1: We answered a couple of those in the last answer, 1441 01:21:49,720 --> 01:21:52,040 Speaker 1: so move on to this one. So is there a 1442 01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:54,280 Speaker 1: player that you think could take a step up in 1443 01:21:54,600 --> 01:21:57,360 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two that's going to have the most impact 1444 01:21:57,400 --> 01:22:02,439 Speaker 1: on offense or defense? So you're taking a step up, 1445 01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:05,679 Speaker 1: but you're also having the biggest impact, which is take 1446 01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:10,599 Speaker 1: a step up, biggest impact if it's a new players 1447 01:22:10,600 --> 01:22:13,160 Speaker 1: like Jamison crowd or that he's got a chance to 1448 01:22:13,160 --> 01:22:15,280 Speaker 1: do something like that, Oj Howard as well of course 1449 01:22:15,400 --> 01:22:17,920 Speaker 1: James Cook new player. These are all new players of 1450 01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:19,880 Speaker 1: players that were on the roster a year ago. I 1451 01:22:19,920 --> 01:22:23,280 Speaker 1: think the obvious answers Gabe Davis. The last time we 1452 01:22:23,280 --> 01:22:25,839 Speaker 1: saw him was a four touchdown game that he's already 1453 01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,960 Speaker 1: sick of hearing about. But it also gives you an 1454 01:22:28,960 --> 01:22:31,639 Speaker 1: idea that he has been a productive member this offense 1455 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:36,400 Speaker 1: since literally his first day as a pro. With his 1456 01:22:36,520 --> 01:22:40,040 Speaker 1: rookie season, he caught the first pass that was thrown 1457 01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:43,000 Speaker 1: by the team in that year, and he has not 1458 01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,080 Speaker 1: let up since. He's been a big part of what 1459 01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:50,040 Speaker 1: they do. So he's a good candidate for being one 1460 01:22:50,080 --> 01:22:54,960 Speaker 1: of those guys that will be a contributor and take 1461 01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:56,920 Speaker 1: a big step up. He should get more a lot 1462 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: more snaps this year than he did a year ago, 1463 01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,040 Speaker 1: and that could be all at takes. Yeah, he definitely should. 1464 01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,679 Speaker 1: Um somebody that I'm excited to see in this offense. 1465 01:23:04,800 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: Not necessarily the most exciting position, but I think Roger 1466 01:23:08,439 --> 01:23:13,599 Speaker 1: Staffold will be a piece to this offensive line possibly. Again, 1467 01:23:13,640 --> 01:23:16,439 Speaker 1: I said that they brought in several veterans, so how 1468 01:23:16,479 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 1: does it shake out when you're looking at the starting 1469 01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:22,519 Speaker 1: five and week one. I think Roger Staffold could be 1470 01:23:22,600 --> 01:23:26,400 Speaker 1: part of the mix there. James Cook, We've talked about 1471 01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:29,519 Speaker 1: him already. I think he could be somebody who plays 1472 01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:32,880 Speaker 1: an important role in this offense this season. Um, you 1473 01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:37,880 Speaker 1: already mentioned oj Howard Um, I mean Khalil Shakier I 1474 01:23:37,880 --> 01:23:41,040 Speaker 1: think is going to play an interesting role on this offense. 1475 01:23:41,560 --> 01:23:45,439 Speaker 1: Watching him has been fun. He was out for a 1476 01:23:45,479 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 1: little bit Um, but he had a role in mandatory 1477 01:23:49,400 --> 01:23:52,240 Speaker 1: mini camp and I mean I think I think he 1478 01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:56,400 Speaker 1: possesses something that that is unique to the wide receiver position. 1479 01:23:56,479 --> 01:23:58,640 Speaker 1: And if you look at his numbers in college, and 1480 01:23:59,160 --> 01:24:00,960 Speaker 1: and if you look at the stats that are out 1481 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,840 Speaker 1: there by PFF, and you think back to Brandon Bean 1482 01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 1: talking about how he was sticking out on their board. 1483 01:24:09,400 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 1: I think guys who stick out on their board are 1484 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,439 Speaker 1: guys who are going to make an impact on this 1485 01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:18,360 Speaker 1: team and guys who they view higher because of what 1486 01:24:18,400 --> 01:24:22,600 Speaker 1: they've seen, of course compared to other NFL teams. So 1487 01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:24,320 Speaker 1: I think he could be like a little gem in 1488 01:24:24,360 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 1: the rough there that that people aren't expecting other teams. 1489 01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:31,840 Speaker 1: Maybe that he grow into something this year next year. 1490 01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,120 Speaker 1: I do think he's gonna play a role in some way. Defense. 1491 01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:39,559 Speaker 1: I'm looking for Greg Russou and Aja Epinessa to take 1492 01:24:39,600 --> 01:24:42,559 Speaker 1: that next step. I mean, we've heard Sean McDermott and 1493 01:24:42,640 --> 01:24:46,040 Speaker 1: Leslie Fraser say it is time there there should be 1494 01:24:46,080 --> 01:24:50,200 Speaker 1: no more lulls for them. The consistency needs to be there. 1495 01:24:49,960 --> 01:24:52,599 Speaker 1: They both had good games last year, but they had 1496 01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:54,960 Speaker 1: bad games last year as well, and we need that 1497 01:24:55,040 --> 01:24:59,040 Speaker 1: consistency from our younger offensive lineman. What can Tim Settle 1498 01:24:59,080 --> 01:25:00,800 Speaker 1: do on the defense of line. He's going to be 1499 01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:03,800 Speaker 1: a part of the rotation. Of course, von Miller is 1500 01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,720 Speaker 1: going to have a huge role. I'm excited to see 1501 01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:10,320 Speaker 1: what Kayer has. Uh, it's been fun to watch him already. 1502 01:25:10,360 --> 01:25:12,479 Speaker 1: He's had some flashes here in it there, but so 1503 01:25:12,520 --> 01:25:15,920 Speaker 1: has Dane Jackson. Also, that's going to be an incredible 1504 01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:19,240 Speaker 1: competition when it comes to training camp. And for Kayer, 1505 01:25:19,400 --> 01:25:23,599 Speaker 1: one thing that um, we've heard and of course you're 1506 01:25:23,600 --> 01:25:25,240 Speaker 1: not going to see as much from him right now 1507 01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: because he's that type of press corner and guys aren't 1508 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:31,360 Speaker 1: aren't bumping and popping yet so legal yet. Yeah, you 1509 01:25:31,400 --> 01:25:35,320 Speaker 1: really can't see those type of types of strengths that 1510 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:38,920 Speaker 1: Kayer Elam possesses in his game. One guy that we 1511 01:25:39,040 --> 01:25:41,320 Speaker 1: we kind of glossed over. We talked about him earlier 1512 01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:42,760 Speaker 1: like this was going to be the case, and then 1513 01:25:42,760 --> 01:25:45,920 Speaker 1: when we got that question specifically we didn't get Isam McKenzie. 1514 01:25:45,960 --> 01:25:49,000 Speaker 1: Isa McKenzie his role has He's been said I'm gonna 1515 01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:52,040 Speaker 1: have a bigger role on this team in this offense. 1516 01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,840 Speaker 1: That speaks to a guy having a breakout year. Maybe 1517 01:25:54,880 --> 01:25:57,679 Speaker 1: he does. It'll be really interesting to see that happen 1518 01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 1: if they go and think about if they go four 1519 01:25:59,479 --> 01:26:03,040 Speaker 1: wide at any point, Isaiah McKenzie's gonna be on the 1520 01:26:03,040 --> 01:26:07,240 Speaker 1: field with Jamison Crowder, Steph Diggs and Gabe Davis. That's 1521 01:26:07,320 --> 01:26:12,840 Speaker 1: four pretty good guys. Yeah, pretty productive guys. So even 1522 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,840 Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie could be a person that you're like, wow, 1523 01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:17,559 Speaker 1: where do you come from? Why was he? You know 1524 01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:22,200 Speaker 1: that kind of thing. So there's all kinds of possibilities. Um, 1525 01:26:22,240 --> 01:26:25,040 Speaker 1: you know de Kwon Jones as well, down there downside 1526 01:26:25,040 --> 01:26:29,120 Speaker 1: with you. That's true. I mean, Jordan Phillips, I had 1527 01:26:29,160 --> 01:26:32,120 Speaker 1: this happen to me. Mannie, so here, let me say 1528 01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,519 Speaker 1: this is true. This still happens to me. You said, 1529 01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:36,800 Speaker 1: oh yeah, you said von Miller. I was like, oh 1530 01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:42,000 Speaker 1: my gosh, he's on the rock. I totally forgot. I 1531 01:26:42,040 --> 01:26:44,040 Speaker 1: had a buddy of mine. I want me to get 1532 01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:45,400 Speaker 1: him a jersey, you know, go over to the st 1533 01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 1: while I'm over here, go get him a just I 1534 01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,360 Speaker 1: went over. He goes, I want uh, one of my 1535 01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:52,599 Speaker 1: buddies wants a Milano jersey, and I want a Miller jersey. 1536 01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:55,679 Speaker 1: And I was a Miller. Miller. Who's Miller? Who's Miller? 1537 01:26:56,280 --> 01:27:02,519 Speaker 1: I von I forgot, I got Vondeviller. It's amazing to 1538 01:27:02,560 --> 01:27:05,160 Speaker 1: me that the guy is now a Buffalo bill kind 1539 01:27:05,200 --> 01:27:08,599 Speaker 1: of play. You know, he's just he's just lurking around. 1540 01:27:09,040 --> 01:27:12,120 Speaker 1: I mean, he's he's learning the offense right now. It's 1541 01:27:12,200 --> 01:27:14,320 Speaker 1: it's kind of weird to think about a twelve year 1542 01:27:14,400 --> 01:27:17,439 Speaker 1: vet having to learn a new learning the offense, learning 1543 01:27:17,439 --> 01:27:19,880 Speaker 1: the defense, having to learn a new defense right now. 1544 01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:23,519 Speaker 1: But he's gonna pick it up because he he's an 1545 01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,160 Speaker 1: incredible player, and so I think it's it's been fun 1546 01:27:26,160 --> 01:27:28,719 Speaker 1: to watch him on the field as he's helping these 1547 01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:31,960 Speaker 1: young guys, but also doing the same thing and probably 1548 01:27:32,000 --> 01:27:34,559 Speaker 1: asking them some questions as well to get stuff down. 1549 01:27:34,640 --> 01:27:37,920 Speaker 1: I wonder if if everybody like it's so unbelievable he's 1550 01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,479 Speaker 1: on the team, do they like just say, Okay, he's 1551 01:27:40,479 --> 01:27:42,519 Speaker 1: gonna be good. We're gonna leave Because there's all this 1552 01:27:42,560 --> 01:27:44,240 Speaker 1: other stuff we've been talking all this this whole list 1553 01:27:44,240 --> 01:27:46,040 Speaker 1: of names we've been going down, Like, who's gonna have 1554 01:27:46,080 --> 01:27:49,000 Speaker 1: a breakout? You're he wasn't on it. He's gonna make 1555 01:27:49,040 --> 01:27:53,200 Speaker 1: the differences. He should be the top guy on the list. Yeah, 1556 01:27:53,880 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 1: it's I can't believe I just I do it constantly. 1557 01:27:59,080 --> 01:28:04,200 Speaker 1: New Slash. Jon Miller is on our teams.
