Hello, Welcome One Bill's Live, presented by Kalidah Health, 3 00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:24,680 Speaker 1: and we're coming to you alive from Orchard Partner, New York, 4 00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 1: at the home of the Buffalo Bills. We're live in 5 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,120 Speaker 1: the Seneca Studio here for the next three hours. It's 6 00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:32,200 Speaker 1: a big day. Really, it's the Wednesday of the first 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,920 Speaker 1: week and you're thinking, yeah, we know it's Wednesday. Wednesday 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:37,959 Speaker 1: is the first real big practice day. Now, first week 9 00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:39,600 Speaker 1: one a little bit different. They got to jump on 10 00:00:39,680 --> 00:00:41,600 Speaker 1: it because of no game last week. But now you 11 00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: feel it. I think, Hi, I'm John Murky, this Steve Tasker. 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: We're here for the next three hours. Heave. I believe, 13 00:00:45,960 --> 00:00:48,120 Speaker 1: now you feel it. And now I detect. You know 14 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:50,600 Speaker 1: how I always do this kind of talk about the 15 00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:52,839 Speaker 1: vibe of the building as if I can tell, but 16 00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: I do detect kind of a more serious vibe around 17 00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: this building. Today. It's it's real. Now this is not 18 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:01,480 Speaker 1: happy go lucky preseason. Look the sunshine. What a beautiful day. 19 00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,680 Speaker 1: Let's let's run around the field and right who's practicing. Yeah, 20 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:09,080 Speaker 1: he's nursing a little quad. He's okay, No, who's taking 21 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 1: reps with the ones today. This is serious stuff right now, 22 00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,720 Speaker 1: This is serious business. Yesterday one, this is a nuts 23 00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:17,160 Speaker 1: and bolts kind of they work at it today. They 24 00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 1: get in there and they finally they get their game 25 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 1: plan presented to him this morning. They go out and 26 00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,160 Speaker 1: they run through and they look at it. They start 27 00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:25,080 Speaker 1: talking about what they expect the other team to do. 28 00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:27,280 Speaker 1: And this is a team that's and it's hard. It's 29 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: week one. You haven't seen these guys under under real 30 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,319 Speaker 1: conditions where they got to win. So they haven't shown 31 00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: you anything about what they've done. You got to go 32 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 1: back in history to look at what the coaches have done. 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,280 Speaker 1: Go back in history, look at what the players have done. 34 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,400 Speaker 1: Look at what the coaching stats philosophy has been on 35 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: games of this type. All of that stuff. They do 36 00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 1: all that research and they kind of transpose it onto 37 00:01:48,200 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: what they're gonna do and what they expect him to 38 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:53,120 Speaker 1: do against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. And then you're 39 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 1: going through the prop and this is all happens yesterday. 40 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: The coaching stats says, Okay, this is what we kind 41 00:01:57,240 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 1: of expect them to do. What are we good at 42 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: and what will what we'd good If this is what 43 00:02:03,160 --> 00:02:05,200 Speaker 1: we're good at, how does that fit against what they 44 00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: do well and what we expect them to do? When 45 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:08,880 Speaker 1: can we how can we take advantage of them with 46 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:10,840 Speaker 1: the talent we have on the fifty three that we 47 00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: just found out we had yesterday. You know, a little 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:16,520 Speaker 1: bit of hectic urgency now, if that's a good way 49 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: to put it. If you like the NFL, which we do, 50 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,799 Speaker 1: if you've been around the NFL for a while, which 51 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:23,960 Speaker 1: we have, you feel it today, You feel the urgency 52 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:27,200 Speaker 1: that does not exist through a training camp, certainly not 53 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,320 Speaker 1: an OTA's mini camps. Yes, it's it's important they get 54 00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:32,919 Speaker 1: it done. They go to practice, people are heard, people play, 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,680 Speaker 1: people practice, they don't practice, blah blah blah. But now 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,400 Speaker 1: it matters. Now it matters who misses practice. Now it 57 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,400 Speaker 1: matters who practice as well. Now it matters what kind 58 00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: of you know, level of attention to detail you get 59 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,040 Speaker 1: during practice and during meetings. Right, this is when it matters, 60 00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: and it could relate. It could rather play out in 61 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,679 Speaker 1: a victory or a defeat on Sunday. And everybody understands that, 62 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,880 Speaker 1: and you know how and I don't want to get 63 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,519 Speaker 1: off on a tangent or any but you know, you 64 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 1: know it really matters because you Jared Goff signing extension. 65 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott is now in. He's signing an extension. You've 66 00:03:05,320 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 1: got all these guys who have had this thing hanging 67 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:10,040 Speaker 1: out there on them. Now they're starting to sign and 68 00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:13,040 Speaker 1: get in. Zeke Ellie's practicing today. I mean, he's he's 69 00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 1: a cowboy again. It's like, nothing happened. Let's go. He's 70 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 1: got you know what, fifty million bucks and new guaranteed money. 71 00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,800 Speaker 1: Let's go. It's big. The it is no nonsense around 72 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 1: the NFL today. It is for real and there is 73 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,440 Speaker 1: no more thinking about Wow. I you know, I hope 74 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,000 Speaker 1: we can find a guy to play this spot. I 75 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 1: hope we can, you know, hope we can get some 76 00:03:32,360 --> 00:03:35,120 Speaker 1: good depth at this spot. See if this guy fits in, 77 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,640 Speaker 1: he can play special teams. Now it's like, Okay, these 78 00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:40,160 Speaker 1: are our guys, and we gotta beat the Jets or 79 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, we gotta beat the Bills, we gotta beat whoever. 80 00:03:43,160 --> 00:03:45,080 Speaker 1: We gotta get it done this week. And it's the 81 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: it's almost the same, the same kind of uptick. In fact, 82 00:03:49,920 --> 00:03:53,760 Speaker 1: it's probably a bigger uptick in the emotional content of 83 00:03:53,840 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: the building from last week to this week, as it 84 00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: will be at the end of the season when you 85 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:00,200 Speaker 1: head to the playoffs. It's that kind of up tick 86 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: in the in the focus and the and the earnestness 87 00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,040 Speaker 1: of the day. It's yeah, it's pretty palpable. I was 88 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 1: thinking about that comparison. I'm good you you stepped into it. 89 00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 1: We don't want to get hung up on this, but 90 00:04:10,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: when you end the season, you're going to the playoffs. Yes, 91 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: there's an uptick in intensity. I've been around that, I've 92 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,839 Speaker 1: seen that. But there's also fatigue building there. Right, There's 93 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,320 Speaker 1: there's weariness, there's injury and weariness. It's like survival. Yeah, 94 00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,560 Speaker 1: we wo season's over now, we gotta get ready for postseason. Okay, 95 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:27,880 Speaker 1: let's go get it now. It's like, you know, for 96 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:31,880 Speaker 1: the Bills anyway, everybody's healthy, everybody's ready, no holdouts, no 97 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,520 Speaker 1: contract issues, you know what I mean. It's sort of 98 00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:35,680 Speaker 1: a fresher approach now that it's going to be at 99 00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:37,960 Speaker 1: the end of December, that's right. And yeah, and everybody's 100 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: kind of relatively healthy all Andrey Roberts is not going 101 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,320 Speaker 1: to practice a little quad thing. It's doesn't seem to 102 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,040 Speaker 1: be serious. He's day to day and that's kind of it. 103 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:48,280 Speaker 1: Everybody else's back full go. I think Tie and Secki's 104 00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 1: back in the mex Quentin. Spain's still probably dealing with 105 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,160 Speaker 1: a little bit of an angle, but we don't know. 106 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,760 Speaker 1: I think he's gonna probably try and go today practice. 107 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:59,760 Speaker 1: All this stuff's really minor regular season. All those who 108 00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: can hand do and they there's no you know, taking 109 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:07,120 Speaker 1: it easy lest you know, let's hold you out of 110 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: this preseason game. Kind of know you're in, you're in, 111 00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: and you're gonna play, and you're gonna play. Well, that's 112 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,440 Speaker 1: and that's the pressure guys put on themselves. Forget about 113 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,560 Speaker 1: the what the club says. Yeah, so who are we 114 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,560 Speaker 1: were on the outsider obviously right we are on the 115 00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: Puriphry here at one Bill's Drive. But you can feel 116 00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,400 Speaker 1: it if you're if you're half paying attention, you can 117 00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: feel that the tenor has changed a little bit this week, 118 00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: starting today as they get set for the Jets, and 119 00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:29,960 Speaker 1: we've talked about it for weeks. This matchup with the 120 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:33,160 Speaker 1: Jets critically important. It's it's funny you've noticed this, I'm 121 00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: sure over the last couple of weeks. Every once in 122 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:38,040 Speaker 1: a while, we'll get a national guest. On yesterday it 123 00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 1: was Chris Morton. Soon he'll say, you know, I think 124 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: that Bill's Jets game is a pretty significant Week one game, right, 125 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: Mortonson said it yesterday. We've had other national guests over 126 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:47,679 Speaker 1: the last few weeks say, well, you know that opener 127 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: against the Jets, that could mean something. I think people 128 00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:53,400 Speaker 1: are catching onto the fact that these are two up 129 00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 1: and coming teams in the AFC East trying desperately to 130 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 1: get in the hunt with the Patriots, and the winner 131 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,880 Speaker 1: on Sunday will have a leg he won't have it licked, 132 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,400 Speaker 1: but I'll have a leg up on the other team, 133 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,560 Speaker 1: one of whom is like to to finish second in 134 00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 1: the division and maybe challenge for a wild card. That's right, 135 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,760 Speaker 1: and there's only so much room at the table. Getting 136 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 1: off to a fast start is I don't know, it's not. 137 00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: I mean, it's not a must. I mean because we've 138 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,600 Speaker 1: seen teams do it so many times where they kind 139 00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,200 Speaker 1: of start off slow and then find themselves and then 140 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,320 Speaker 1: get into a run and then click it. But man, 141 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: oh man, it's more. It just gives you that extra 142 00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:31,360 Speaker 1: little bit of room for when things you do hit 143 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,520 Speaker 1: a rocky patch. If you do get a sustain an 144 00:06:33,560 --> 00:06:35,480 Speaker 1: injury to a key guy or whatever, it gives you 145 00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,400 Speaker 1: a chance to really catch your breath for a minute. 146 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 1: In the regular season, if you do drop a game 147 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,280 Speaker 1: later on, it doesn't seem to mean as much as 148 00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,840 Speaker 1: that opener or the first or second week, because you know, 149 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: hard to have a winning record when you've played two games. Yeah, 150 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:53,400 Speaker 1: you know, yeah, so it's it's gonna be I we 151 00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: all want to see this team get off to a 152 00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 1: fast start because of the anticipation we've lived with for 153 00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 1: the last eight months, nine months. So we'll see if 154 00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:05,040 Speaker 1: they can do it. Gotta like their chances, but this 155 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:09,600 Speaker 1: is a team that poses some problems and has aspirations 156 00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,920 Speaker 1: of their own with good reason too. Bills are at 157 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,120 Speaker 1: work right now. They just hit the practice field here 158 00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 1: on Orchard Park, getting set for this Wednesday practice, getting 159 00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: set for the Jets game on Sunday one o'clock kickoff 160 00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,800 Speaker 1: on Sunday. A right man, Chris Brown, Bills Insider from 161 00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:25,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot Com, is our practice field level reporter 162 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 1: and he joins US Night Now Live from the Bill's 163 00:07:27,640 --> 00:07:29,760 Speaker 1: practice field. Hello, Chris Brown, come in, Chris Brown. Can 164 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: you hear me? Chris Brown? This good afternoon. We're doing great, 165 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 1: We're pumped up. Do you agree with us? I got 166 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 1: some practice specific questions for us, But do you agree 167 00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:43,840 Speaker 1: agree with our show opening premise that the intensity's ratcheted 168 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,600 Speaker 1: up a little bit today? You can almost feel it 169 00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:48,160 Speaker 1: in the air out here, can't you? Are you? Are 170 00:07:48,240 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 1: you too cool for that? Yeah? No, I think that 171 00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: it's almost a natural kind of feeling. You know, game 172 00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 1: week is here, the plan is in, and you know 173 00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:00,840 Speaker 1: now it's going to be installed. So yeah, I think 174 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 1: there's a sense of yeah, it's here, the countdowns over, 175 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: game preparation is upon us, and let's get ready for Sunday. 176 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,640 Speaker 1: And I wonder also as you look just overall, I 177 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,560 Speaker 1: don't need specifics, but it appears the Bills have arrived 178 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:17,880 Speaker 1: at this point the eve of the regular season. Chris 179 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:21,880 Speaker 1: in pretty good physical condition. Andre Robert's going to miss 180 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,240 Speaker 1: today with a quiet injury, but they don't really have 181 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:27,880 Speaker 1: any major injuries to any players of real major consequence 182 00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:31,600 Speaker 1: going into this opener. Agreed, right, And you hope you 183 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:35,640 Speaker 1: get out of today's practice and Friday's practice the same way. No, 184 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:39,640 Speaker 1: worse for the wear. Yeah, I mean, it's kind of 185 00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: crazy to think about this, but if you were to 186 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,079 Speaker 1: talk about the offensive line a month ago, there's no 187 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,559 Speaker 1: way you would have thought that the line would be 188 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,559 Speaker 1: this healthy here on Wednesday before Week one, the way 189 00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,920 Speaker 1: it all looked. But yeah, fortunately it came together. You know, 190 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 1: the athletic training staff did a good job of getting 191 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: guys ready for the games that count, and so here 192 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 1: we are, you know, with an offensive line that looks 193 00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:07,280 Speaker 1: fit to go. So and even you know, some of 194 00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: the other positions that suffered some injuries through the course 195 00:09:09,920 --> 00:09:12,480 Speaker 1: of training camp in the preseason are in pretty good 196 00:09:12,520 --> 00:09:15,439 Speaker 1: shape all things considered. The Bills kept ten offensive linemen 197 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 1: on the roster. It's a big number, it's not. It's 198 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,800 Speaker 1: not you don't usually see teams do that. But I 199 00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:21,439 Speaker 1: think they feel like they've got a lot of good 200 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,640 Speaker 1: guys that can really play, and they know how important 201 00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,040 Speaker 1: that spot is. They'd like to keep ten guys as 202 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,000 Speaker 1: long as they can, if the arrest of the team 203 00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: can stay healthy. Have you seen them line up at 204 00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,559 Speaker 1: all as to know what the right side of the 205 00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:39,160 Speaker 1: offensive line's going to look like? Not today, but on Monday. 206 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:44,040 Speaker 1: The way it started was Feliciano at right guard and 207 00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:49,080 Speaker 1: then Cody Ford at right tackle. Now, after the initial 208 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:53,840 Speaker 1: portion of individual position drills, Tie and Sky was rotated 209 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,719 Speaker 1: in at right tackle, but Cody Ford just rotated out. 210 00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,079 Speaker 1: He did not move inside. So what does that mean. 211 00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:03,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if it means anything, but coach McDermott 212 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 1: has been pretty evasive in saying that they've nailed down 213 00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,520 Speaker 1: a starting spot for Cody Ford for Sunday and whether 214 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,480 Speaker 1: they've nailed down a starting five for Sunday. Guys, I'm 215 00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,599 Speaker 1: going to present a different theory to you on this. 216 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: I don't think the Bills have a top five for 217 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,280 Speaker 1: their offensive line. I think they have a top six, 218 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:27,319 Speaker 1: perhaps even a top seven, And I would venture to 219 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:31,600 Speaker 1: guess that it could change week to week, maybe even 220 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:35,120 Speaker 1: series to series, based on game plans for certain opponents. 221 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: What do you think about that? I would first say, Chris, 222 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: what about the age, old, time tested concept of continuity 223 00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:46,640 Speaker 1: being important on the offensive line? Poppy Cock, We're going 224 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 1: into a new era. We're going into a new era 225 00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 1: of football here, and if you think about it, you 226 00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: think about how much Bobby Johnson and the reason I'm 227 00:10:56,960 --> 00:11:00,840 Speaker 1: thinking this way guys is because for the last couple 228 00:11:00,920 --> 00:11:04,720 Speaker 1: of weeks, the offensive line has gotten a lot healthier, 229 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 1: and yet the rotation that we have witnessed in the 230 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,520 Speaker 1: practice setting has continued in terms of rolling guys through, 231 00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 1: putting guys in different spots. And I would say your 232 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 1: top seven are Dion Dawkins, Quentin Spain, Mitch Morse, John Feliciano, 233 00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: Cody Ford, Tie and Secki and Spencer Long. Those are 234 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: your top seven and I think those guys are gonna 235 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:33,520 Speaker 1: be rolling through filling any number of roles. And it's 236 00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,640 Speaker 1: not like outside of Cody Ford, you don't have guys 237 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,959 Speaker 1: that are lacking NFL experience. These are guys that have 238 00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:45,199 Speaker 1: been plugged into different roles. Chiefly we're talking about Spencer 239 00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:49,840 Speaker 1: Long and John Feliciano. Those two guys have been plugged 240 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,760 Speaker 1: into a number of different places. Cody Ford has experience 241 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 1: at Garden Tackle, and so I think there is an 242 00:11:56,880 --> 00:12:01,800 Speaker 1: open minded view of how they can go into a 243 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 1: given game in a given week. Now, obviously, as you 244 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:08,319 Speaker 1: get further into the season, injuries may compromise that, but 245 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: I think there's a real possibility here that you could 246 00:12:11,920 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: see different offensive lineups week to week based on the 247 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,920 Speaker 1: game plan and based on the opponent with Dan in mind, Chris, 248 00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: I just have one more question about this. We want 249 00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: to get to other things out there in the practice field, 250 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,640 Speaker 1: but what are the specialties of say Feliciano or Long 251 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,400 Speaker 1: or or any of the others who might be in 252 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: and out of the lineup and sec you you know 253 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,400 Speaker 1: what I mean. You must have a kind of a 254 00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,000 Speaker 1: game plan, type of a specific player that you need 255 00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:38,640 Speaker 1: if you want to do this. What can you give 256 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:41,199 Speaker 1: us an idea of what that blueprint looks like. Well, 257 00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: we've talked about it, Yeah, we've We've talked about it 258 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,520 Speaker 1: on the show. Guys. You know we were talking about 259 00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,080 Speaker 1: who the starting five will be and we said, well, 260 00:12:48,120 --> 00:12:50,440 Speaker 1: it depends on what Brian Dable wants. If he wants 261 00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:53,000 Speaker 1: a more mobile offensive line, then you're probably looking at 262 00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:57,360 Speaker 1: guys like Spencer Long and Cody Ford who can kind 263 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: of get out and pull a little bit more. They're 264 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,760 Speaker 1: more mobile. If you want to drive people off the line, 265 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: you're looking at Quentin Spain and you know you're looking 266 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,880 Speaker 1: at John Feliciano. So I think those kinds of combinations, 267 00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 1: while some might argue might be predictable if you can execute, 268 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 1: it's not going to matter. It's like, this is what 269 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,560 Speaker 1: we're doing, and try to stop it. Now, that doesn't 270 00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:23,360 Speaker 1: mean that they can't change that mid stream and a 271 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,840 Speaker 1: game like if they have a game plan and they 272 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:27,800 Speaker 1: feel like, well, we can get out on the edge 273 00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:32,199 Speaker 1: on these guys, maybe they start somebody like long and 274 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,800 Speaker 1: forward at guard and use them in a lot of 275 00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: pulling type motions and action. And if that's not working 276 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: for some reason because the other team has you know, 277 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:44,920 Speaker 1: prepped forward or have an answer for it, has an 278 00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: answer for it, well, who's to say you can't make 279 00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:49,200 Speaker 1: a switch because you got the other two guys up 280 00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: in active anyway, plug them in and change it and 281 00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: go and go three tight ends. Put Feliciano in Spain 282 00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:58,400 Speaker 1: in there and go mash So, I think there's a versatil. 283 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: How much have we heard coach McDermott talk about position flexibility. 284 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:05,120 Speaker 1: I think we've heard him talk about it a ton. Well, 285 00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:09,280 Speaker 1: I'm wondering if the reason they've strived to achieve that 286 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:13,120 Speaker 1: position flexibility is for that very reason. Okay, I think 287 00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 1: one of the things that lends credence to your wild 288 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,679 Speaker 1: and hair brain theory is the fact they didn't keep 289 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: ten guys. I mean, they got a lot of guys 290 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,080 Speaker 1: that can do that, And you're right, it does tend 291 00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,240 Speaker 1: to give you an idea that they're gonna give a 292 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 1: lot of those guys a chance to play. I gotta 293 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: move on. I'm gonna ask you about the running backs, 294 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: Gore Singletary, t J Yelden, not the guys who in 295 00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:36,600 Speaker 1: January February we thought we're gonna line up for the 296 00:14:36,640 --> 00:14:41,360 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills are running back? Well, I think we thought 297 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,760 Speaker 1: they would be part of the equation, But I think 298 00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: a lot of people felt that until Singletary demonstrated an 299 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:52,880 Speaker 1: ability to handle the full complement of responsibility of what 300 00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: a running back in the NFL has to do, that 301 00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 1: it was largely going to be LaShaun McCoy and everybody else. Well, 302 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 1: it's very clear that Devin Singletary accelerated his own learning 303 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:06,760 Speaker 1: curve and demonstrated and convinced this coaching staff as well 304 00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 1: as this front office that he can handle all three 305 00:15:10,840 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: downs in an NFL setting and handled him capably. That's 306 00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:16,760 Speaker 1: not to say he's gonna be perfect. I'm sure he's 307 00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:18,600 Speaker 1: still going to be making some rookie mistakes here and 308 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 1: there through the course of the season. Because defenses are complex, 309 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: they get exotic on third down. I'm sure they'll cross 310 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,120 Speaker 1: him up every once in a while, but I think 311 00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,120 Speaker 1: they feel having a veteran and Frank Gore and a 312 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 1: guy who's been around the block a time or two 313 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,960 Speaker 1: and t. J. Yeldon, that there's enough of a support 314 00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:40,680 Speaker 1: mechanism there to compliment Devin Singletary in a way that 315 00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: you know this is going to be largely a running 316 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,760 Speaker 1: back by committee because Brandon being used that term and 317 00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: gave us a hint as to what we're looking at, 318 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:50,120 Speaker 1: and we said it a couple of weeks ago. Guys, 319 00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: we wouldn't be shocked if the offense from a running 320 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,480 Speaker 1: back perspective takes on a look of what New England 321 00:15:56,520 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 1: has done over the years, Knowing Brian Dable comes from 322 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,840 Speaker 1: that school where you have three and four guys rolling 323 00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 1: through and doing different things each and every given week, 324 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: and I think that's what we're gonna see here. And 325 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,360 Speaker 1: I think we also while Singletary, I don't think we 326 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: should expect Singletary to be this full blown feature back. 327 00:16:14,360 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: I think there is gonna be a healthy mix here 328 00:16:16,400 --> 00:16:19,600 Speaker 1: between him and Gore and even t J. Yelden, who 329 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,160 Speaker 1: I think a lot of people are forgetting had fifty 330 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: five receptions last year in a support role behind Leonard 331 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: Fournette and Jacksonville Feature back or not, Chris give me 332 00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,440 Speaker 1: your best guests at four fifteen four thirty Sunday afternoons, 333 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:36,320 Speaker 1: who winds up with the most touches for the bills 334 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 1: among that running back group. Among those running back, I 335 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 1: think they're gonna ease Singletary in, and so because of that, 336 00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:49,000 Speaker 1: I would expect Gore to maybe have a hair more 337 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,920 Speaker 1: of the work in terms of carries. I think Singletary 338 00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:55,120 Speaker 1: and Yelden are probably gonna split some of the work 339 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 1: in terms of receptions out of the backfield. So I 340 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:01,520 Speaker 1: think it's gonna you're gonna see a pretty balanced line 341 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:04,480 Speaker 1: across the board. But I think when all is said 342 00:17:04,520 --> 00:17:06,720 Speaker 1: and done, maybe they lean a little bit more on 343 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: the veteran in week one so as not to put 344 00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:13,800 Speaker 1: too much on Devin Singletary's played, especially knowing in week 345 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,800 Speaker 1: one there is more of the unknown in terms of 346 00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:19,840 Speaker 1: what an opponent can throw at you, and we know 347 00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: Greg Williams is going to be throwing the kitchen sink 348 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,159 Speaker 1: at this offense this week from the Jets defensive perspective, 349 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:28,560 Speaker 1: and so because of that, I think Gore is on 350 00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:31,440 Speaker 1: the field more on third down because he's used to 351 00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 1: seeing more of those exotic looks. So I think at 352 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:36,440 Speaker 1: the end of the day, Gore probably has a hair 353 00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: more of the work than the other time. I bet 354 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,920 Speaker 1: your quarter at Singletary, But we'll move on, Steve. I 355 00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:43,080 Speaker 1: was going to ask you, he said about the pressure 356 00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,720 Speaker 1: that Greg Williams is known for. The defensive coordinator the Jets, 357 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: former Bill's head coach. He's you know, he's a defensive 358 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: coordinator's been around the block, and that's his modus OPERENDI 359 00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: brings a lot of pressure. Is Josh Allen gonna be 360 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: able to handle out of this offensive line gonna come together? 361 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,600 Speaker 1: I mean, that's the sixty four dollar question for the 362 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: Bill's offense, is it not. I it's more than sixty 363 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: four dollars, But yeah, I think they really have to 364 00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 1: mind their p's and queues and really kind of study 365 00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 1: the history of Greg Williams defense and know how he 366 00:18:16,080 --> 00:18:19,119 Speaker 1: likes to bring pressure from so many different places. They've 367 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 1: been kind of a hybrid through the course of the preseason. 368 00:18:21,880 --> 00:18:23,760 Speaker 1: So Are they going to throw a true four three? 369 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,480 Speaker 1: Is it more three? Four? Is it a mix between 370 00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: the two? Might have changed series to series. Who's dropping 371 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 1: out in his own blitz look and who's coming They 372 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,800 Speaker 1: love to blitz the safety Jamal Adams. Is that going 373 00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,960 Speaker 1: to continue under Greg Williams. I would anticipate that it would. 374 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,399 Speaker 1: So there's gonna be a whole lot of things that 375 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: they're gonna have to be responsible for and they're gonna 376 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,240 Speaker 1: have to pick it all up. But it wouldn't surprise 377 00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: me if there's a portion of the game plan this 378 00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 1: week where there is a moving pocket and they do 379 00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,560 Speaker 1: get out on the move to buy Josh Allen some 380 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:57,840 Speaker 1: more time. Personally, I think Josh is more accurate on 381 00:18:57,880 --> 00:19:01,520 Speaker 1: the move anyway, So I would be inclined to incorporate 382 00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,959 Speaker 1: some moving pocket type plays for Josh so he can 383 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 1: get out on the move and not have to worry 384 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,880 Speaker 1: about standing in there an extra half second and taking 385 00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: a shot from a Leonard Williams. Chris, you know, Greg 386 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 1: Williams like I do. He's gonna want to leave his 387 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:16,479 Speaker 1: He's gonna want to make his mark on this game, 388 00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: first game of the Jets right now. He wants to 389 00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 1: do that every week. But yeah, so I think, yeah, 390 00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 1: he's gonna want to set a tone. I think we 391 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:30,040 Speaker 1: know how he coaches his players. It's no nonsense. It's 392 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 1: get the job done, and it's cross up an opposing 393 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: offense every chance. Yet they're gonna throw the book at 394 00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,479 Speaker 1: Josh Allen and the offense and they're gonna challenge them 395 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:43,560 Speaker 1: to come up with solutions, whether it's pre snap or 396 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 1: on the fly. So you want to talk about a 397 00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: measuring stick week one, this Jets defense is gonna be 398 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: that for Buffalo's offense. One guy that's not practicing today, 399 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,480 Speaker 1: Andre Roberts, the Pro Bowl return guy for the Jets 400 00:19:56,520 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: a year ago, is he gonna I mean, is he 401 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: gonna miss this opportunity to go back right from on 402 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: week one and stick it to his old team. I mean, 403 00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: we're reading between the lines here on the severity of 404 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:16,879 Speaker 1: the injury. It's a quad injury. Is it a contusion, 405 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:20,040 Speaker 1: is it a pulled muscle? We don't know, But coach 406 00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,480 Speaker 1: McDermott called him day today. So that leads me to 407 00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:27,960 Speaker 1: believe that this is an injury that will benefit greatly 408 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 1: by resting it today and then again tomorrow because this 409 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,959 Speaker 1: team is not practicing on Thursday this week because they 410 00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,399 Speaker 1: got their extra practice in on Monday. So he rests today, 411 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:41,000 Speaker 1: he rests tomorrow. It wouldn't shock me if he's back 412 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: on the practice field Friday and then good to go 413 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: on Sunday. We'll have to wait and see, but that 414 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,640 Speaker 1: day to day designation leads me to believe that come 415 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,760 Speaker 1: Friday Saturday, there's a probably a good chance we'll see 416 00:20:53,840 --> 00:20:56,360 Speaker 1: Roberts out there getting the necessary reps to be ready 417 00:20:56,400 --> 00:20:59,560 Speaker 1: for Sunday. Chris Brown, Bills Insider, Buffalo Bills that common practice. 418 00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 1: I got one more for you, Christen. It's not the 419 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: obligatory question about defense, because we feel like we're set 420 00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: on defense. But I just have a feeling that the 421 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,480 Speaker 1: Bills have plans for Ed Oliver this season, if not 422 00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,479 Speaker 1: this Sunday, right, I mean, I just think we're going 423 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: to see something from Ed Oliver, a look, a lineup, 424 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 1: something that we did not see in the four preseason games. 425 00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:22,280 Speaker 1: Your thoughts on that, Yeah, I think you've got to 426 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 1: measure that and balance that with how much you believe 427 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 1: Ed can handle. From a mental perspective, I think you'd 428 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:35,199 Speaker 1: rather have him playing fast and keeping his role simple, 429 00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,680 Speaker 1: rather than complicating his role and slowing him down because 430 00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:43,959 Speaker 1: he's thinking. So if they feel that he can handle 431 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,400 Speaker 1: lining up in different places, well then yeah, they'll absolutely 432 00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: do that. But if they don't, I think they keep 433 00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,760 Speaker 1: his role rather simple because I think Ed has shown 434 00:21:56,600 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: in one on one situations he can just win all 435 00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:02,160 Speaker 1: by himself. Don't need to draw up anything elaborate for him. 436 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:05,800 Speaker 1: He's just good enough to win on his own. So 437 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,400 Speaker 1: I think that the task of the defensive staff here 438 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,240 Speaker 1: is more about getting him isolated matchups than it is 439 00:22:14,359 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 1: about lining him up in all kinds of different places. 440 00:22:17,280 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: So if there's a way to do that by leaving 441 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,320 Speaker 1: him inside, I think you just do that and let 442 00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: him go and he's gonna win more often than not anyway. 443 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: One of the things where that's kind of my look 444 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,359 Speaker 1: at it, one of the things we're seeing now on 445 00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,600 Speaker 1: cameras we're watching practices that our old friend Kyle Williams 446 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:34,760 Speaker 1: is back in town once again, standing in the hip 447 00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: pockethead Oliver as he goes through the motions. Kind of 448 00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: interesting and I think it makes a lot of sense 449 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 1: to bring Kyle back after he spent a week early 450 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,920 Speaker 1: in training camp with at Oliver to come back and 451 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:48,200 Speaker 1: touch base again as they go into their first game 452 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,920 Speaker 1: makes a lot of sense. Yeah, I mean, Lorenzo kind 453 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 1: of clued me in that Kyle is going to be 454 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:57,359 Speaker 1: around from time to time and he's going to be 455 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,040 Speaker 1: a guy that Lorenzo is going to be calling on 456 00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,080 Speaker 1: the phone just about each and every week as they 457 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,000 Speaker 1: game prep. And the reason why, and I wrote a 458 00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: story about this on Buffalo bills dot Com earlier this week, 459 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,160 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams has to call all the pass rush games, 460 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,719 Speaker 1: you know, on obvious passing downs on the field. Used 461 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: to you know, basically do all the film prep during 462 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,320 Speaker 1: the week and then would call the pass rush calls 463 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 1: and the twist and stunt games on the field live. 464 00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:24,919 Speaker 1: They wouldn't get anything from the sideline. He would call 465 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,680 Speaker 1: it because the coaching staff trusted him, and so through 466 00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,520 Speaker 1: the course of this offseason they had to find a 467 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:32,560 Speaker 1: replacement player for that to do all those things. And 468 00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,800 Speaker 1: the primary guy, as I wrote in the story, is 469 00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:37,680 Speaker 1: gonna be Lorenzo Alexander who's going to be calling a 470 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: lot of those pass rush games. But the secondary guy 471 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: will be Harrison Phillips. Now he's not part of their 472 00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,879 Speaker 1: primary pass rush package. But he is a guy who 473 00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:49,040 Speaker 1: will rotate in from time to time, so when he 474 00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 1: is in the lineup, he will be calling those and 475 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,280 Speaker 1: let let Lorenzo just kind of run free and listen 476 00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,800 Speaker 1: to the call and go. Both of those guys really 477 00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:02,560 Speaker 1: were kind of inky hip pocket. Well. Obviously Lorenzo the 478 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:04,440 Speaker 1: last three years he's kind of learned how to do 479 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:08,359 Speaker 1: that by osmosis almost, but Harrison really got to work 480 00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,880 Speaker 1: on learning about Kyle's process of getting ready each week 481 00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:14,399 Speaker 1: and learning how to make those kinds of calls. And 482 00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: Lorenzo confirmed Harrison is really good at it. So whenever 483 00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:20,480 Speaker 1: Harrison's on the field, he's going to call it. But 484 00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,480 Speaker 1: when Lorenzo's out there and it's not Harrison, he's gonna 485 00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,040 Speaker 1: be calling those. So something to keep an eye out for. 486 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:27,840 Speaker 1: And if you want to read more about how that 487 00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: all kind of came to pass, I wrote a story 488 00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: about it was up on Tuesday on Buffalo bills dot com. 489 00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 1: It's still up there. God just saying, I bet over 490 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,440 Speaker 1: the last five years when he was here, I asked 491 00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,520 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams hundreds of times whether he was interested in 492 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: coaching when his playing career ended, and each time he said, no, 493 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:48,359 Speaker 1: absolutely not. And there he is. And if he's not coaching, 494 00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: he's doing a pretty good impersonation. That's all I want 495 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: to say, Chris, all right, well it's out there now. 496 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: Thanks Brownie. Chris has done with us. Thank you, Chris. 497 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,679 Speaker 1: Chris Brown Bills insider from buff the Bills dot Com. 498 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,679 Speaker 1: When Chris is done, he's done, and he's done with us, 499 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,480 Speaker 1: you more feel it than anything he says. You know, 500 00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,560 Speaker 1: thank you, Chris brown Bills. Yeah, and have him on 501 00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:12,440 Speaker 1: the sidelines at practice. But you know what I'm saying, 502 00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:17,640 Speaker 1: he's coaching. Kyle Williams acts, looks, dresses like a coach. Yeah, 503 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,800 Speaker 1: but you know as well as I do, he's cherry picking. Yes, 504 00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,920 Speaker 1: I mean, he's not putting, he's not grinding out those 505 00:25:23,960 --> 00:25:27,080 Speaker 1: eighteen hour days like those guys are. Fourteen sixteen hour days. 506 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,080 Speaker 1: They're in there all day, every day and into the 507 00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,520 Speaker 1: night and then they go home they sleep. Man, hundreds 508 00:25:31,560 --> 00:25:34,560 Speaker 1: of times I asked him, I know, guys get asked that. 509 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: A lot, a lot of good players get asked about 510 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:38,320 Speaker 1: whether they're gonna coach or not. And let me just 511 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 1: tell you, Murph, a lot of them. And I said this, earlier. 512 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:45,040 Speaker 1: I've said this before. The league is doing itself a 513 00:25:45,160 --> 00:25:47,920 Speaker 1: disservice in my opinion. Now things are changing, and I'll 514 00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:51,840 Speaker 1: give you a whole big synopsis about this. Right. Here's 515 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,520 Speaker 1: what's happening in the NFL about guys, great players getting 516 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 1: into coaching. It's not happening. And here's the reason why. 517 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:02,120 Speaker 1: Even certainly the great players like the Peyton Mannings who retire, 518 00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:05,040 Speaker 1: the Dan Marinos who retire, or whoever else you want 519 00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 1: to those great players who retire, those guys aren't getting 520 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: back into coaching because when they get back in, they're 521 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,080 Speaker 1: not jumping in as a coordinator. They're not jumping in 522 00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: as a head coach. They're not jumping in like that. 523 00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,399 Speaker 1: They're jumping in as a quality control guy. They got 524 00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:20,840 Speaker 1: to start from the bottom up because they have more 525 00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: qualified guys doing it, and a coach isn't. I'm a 526 00:26:23,400 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 1: coach who has to win now, is not going to 527 00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: help out even though the guy may be a legend 528 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: of the game. He's got to win and he's making 529 00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:32,200 Speaker 1: five million bucks a year to do it. He's not 530 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 1: going to risk that five million bucks a year helping 531 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,800 Speaker 1: out a guy who as much as great a player, 532 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 1: as the guy was, wants to give coaching a shot. 533 00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 1: Air quotes right. He needs guys who are all in, 534 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,800 Speaker 1: bought in, and hungry. That's why nowadays you'll see a 535 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: lot of coaches around the National Football League who weren't 536 00:26:51,160 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 1: players at all at the highest level. They were coaches 537 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: at lower level, learning the nuts and bolts of how 538 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: to study film, how to break down film, what you're 539 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 1: looking for in, how to look at your opponent, how 540 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 1: to match up with your opponent, how to evaluate your 541 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 1: own guys, how to evaluate their guys. That's what coaching is. 542 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,719 Speaker 1: And then translating that from what you've learned and all 543 00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: that study and all that minutia, and getting it into 544 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:16,080 Speaker 1: the minds and bodies of your players to take advantage 545 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 1: of it. That's what coaching is. Great players in this 546 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,920 Speaker 1: day and h have made too much money to go 547 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,000 Speaker 1: back and start grinding out twelve and fourteen hour days 548 00:27:28,080 --> 00:27:31,280 Speaker 1: like that. It's just it's really hard for guys to do. 549 00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,760 Speaker 1: It's hard to entice them, particularly these guys that are 550 00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 1: getting out of the game at thirty five, thirty six, 551 00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: thirty seven, thirty eight years old. If you're a quarterback, 552 00:27:40,320 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 1: it's hard to entice them away from a young wife 553 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 1: and family, young family to go back in and grind 554 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,399 Speaker 1: it out in the league and work even long grabbers 555 00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,680 Speaker 1: than they did as a player. It's hard to entice 556 00:27:50,720 --> 00:27:52,880 Speaker 1: them out of that. And guys like Kyler perfect examples 557 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:56,280 Speaker 1: of it. A thirteen year player, he made a stack 558 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,680 Speaker 1: of money. I imagine, I don't even have to go 559 00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,240 Speaker 1: back and look at it. He was a pro whole 560 00:28:00,280 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: player of five time Pro Bowl player. He's a, you know, 561 00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: a legendary franchise player in the time that he played. 562 00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:09,439 Speaker 1: Why does he want to come back and start grinding 563 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,360 Speaker 1: out at sixteen hour days for and he may get 564 00:28:13,400 --> 00:28:14,919 Speaker 1: three or four years out of this. What happens if 565 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 1: it doesn't work out, this whole staff gets fired. Now 566 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:18,720 Speaker 1: what's he gonna do? Is he gonna go coach for 567 00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,200 Speaker 1: the Jets? Is he gonna go coach for the for 568 00:28:21,280 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or the Arizona I mean, that's 569 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: what you're asking for as a coach, That's what you 570 00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: have to know you're signing up for. I had this 571 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,120 Speaker 1: long conver I had a long conversation with Frank Wright 572 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: years and years ago. Bro, you know what you're signing 573 00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:36,320 Speaker 1: up for. And he goes, I go, what's Linda's you 574 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: know his why? I said, what's Linda say about it? 575 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: What do the kids say about it? I go, you 576 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,720 Speaker 1: know you're gonna be signing up for every two or 577 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 1: three years. You're gonna be on the road moving to 578 00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:45,320 Speaker 1: a new city. He goes, I know, because I'm ready, 579 00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:47,600 Speaker 1: Because I'm gonna He goes, I'm ready. He's what I 580 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,760 Speaker 1: gonna do? I want to do it. I want to coach, 581 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 1: I know. And his daughters and family were a little 582 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: older when he got back into it, although they were 583 00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 1: still around, you know, so he had that decision to 584 00:28:56,800 --> 00:28:59,680 Speaker 1: make guys know what they're getting into when they go 585 00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:01,640 Speaker 1: to coaching around in the NFL. That's why great players 586 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 1: don't do it. They got other more interesting and easier 587 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:06,560 Speaker 1: things to do. And that's and that's why you get 588 00:29:06,680 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: coaches who are coaches, lifelong coaches, not finding fault. By 589 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:11,840 Speaker 1: the way, I love having Kyle around. Oh yeah, I 590 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: love having This is a great way to do it. 591 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:17,560 Speaker 1: How about if you're watching on MSG and Oliver, you 592 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,040 Speaker 1: know they're going through drills, leaves, the drill goes immediately 593 00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,120 Speaker 1: over to Kyle for feedback that he just stands and 594 00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,880 Speaker 1: didn't say anything. He just goes over and stands there 595 00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:25,840 Speaker 1: and listen. It's exactly what the Bills are looking for. 596 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: All right.

The practice going on outside. 646 00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,800 Speaker 1: If you just joined us, you miss Chris Brown's report 647 00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:57,400 Speaker 1: from outside.

I expected to play on Sunday. What did 651 00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: you make of Chris Brown's theory, and I think it 652 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:10,440 Speaker 1: was just a theory that the Bills might perhaps have 653 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:14,040 Speaker 1: a rotating offensive line, not just five starting every game, 654 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 1: but a rotation of seven different guys who could start 655 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: one week and be out the next week. What do 656 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:20,120 Speaker 1: you think of that? I don't know if I don't 657 00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: think I've explained it to exactly. He met there are 658 00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:24,440 Speaker 1: a couple of players on that offensive line who might 659 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:28,360 Speaker 1: be rotating game situation. He thinks they've got seven guys 660 00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,600 Speaker 1: they think they can start, and they bring different things 661 00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,440 Speaker 1: to the table, and they could go with a different 662 00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:37,080 Speaker 1: type of run philosophy week to week, meaning like do 663 00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,600 Speaker 1: a zone concept where they come off the offensive line 664 00:32:39,640 --> 00:32:41,520 Speaker 1: and all move off to this line of scrimmage in 665 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 1: the same direction up the field and get to the 666 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,400 Speaker 1: second level. Or they could block down and have an 667 00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: offensive line and pull and run to the edge and 668 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:50,960 Speaker 1: block them the last defender out so the running back 669 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,160 Speaker 1: could run inside that kind of power game. There's two 670 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: different types of physical attributes that those running philosophies asked 671 00:32:58,760 --> 00:33:02,360 Speaker 1: for from their offensive line. And his assertion is that 672 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,479 Speaker 1: the Bills may want to do that week week, make 673 00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:08,360 Speaker 1: that kind of switch and do it game plan by 674 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:10,440 Speaker 1: game plans. So if if they feel like they've got 675 00:33:10,520 --> 00:33:12,680 Speaker 1: seven or eight starters on the offensive line and they 676 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 1: can pull guys in and out week to week or 677 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,920 Speaker 1: maybe even series to series, maybe they do that. They 678 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:23,800 Speaker 1: certainly have kept ten offensive linemen on the active roster. 679 00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: That gives them some flexibility upfront to do that. I 680 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 1: think it's really interesting idea. And we've seen trends like 681 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 1: this happen quickly where a couple of different teams will 682 00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:37,800 Speaker 1: start doing it, you know, you know, the Chiefs started 683 00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,160 Speaker 1: spreading the field horizontally all of a sudden. Now the Rams, 684 00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:42,320 Speaker 1: now New Orleans, now all these other teams are doing 685 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:43,840 Speaker 1: it all of a sudden, real quick too, and they 686 00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:45,840 Speaker 1: did it all, you know, within a few weeks of 687 00:33:45,880 --> 00:33:49,960 Speaker 1: each other. It's a copycat league. But this particular trend, 688 00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,120 Speaker 1: there's not too many teams that could pull it off 689 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,880 Speaker 1: because they don't have ten offensive linemen or seven or 690 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,880 Speaker 1: eight starter quality offensive linemen. Well, let's say this at 691 00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:01,960 Speaker 1: the outset, no canny when the Bills don't have ten 692 00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:06,920 Speaker 1: starting quality of starting caliber offensive line candidates on the roster. 693 00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:09,520 Speaker 1: They just don't. They might have seven, but doesn't it 694 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: And I want to hear from Sean McDermot about this 695 00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:15,560 Speaker 1: in a minute. But doesn't it also indicate maybe maybe 696 00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,640 Speaker 1: the Bills, I think, deep in their hearts, well, we 697 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,800 Speaker 1: don't really have a great five, So let's say we 698 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: can make something out of these seven or eight. Either 699 00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: that or either that or they want to try and 700 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:27,719 Speaker 1: make seven or eight guys happy so they stay in 701 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,080 Speaker 1: the offseason. You know, yeah, that's true. I mean, but 702 00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:33,960 Speaker 1: I think also having ten guys also happening. If you're 703 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:36,319 Speaker 1: gonna start switching these guys in and out, you've got 704 00:34:36,400 --> 00:34:40,280 Speaker 1: two or three guys that are still on the rosters, 705 00:34:40,320 --> 00:34:42,360 Speaker 1: you can say, Okay, we still got a full compliment 706 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:44,560 Speaker 1: of offensive lineman going into next week who can all play. 707 00:34:44,760 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: Plus what they found out about this offensive line. I 708 00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,160 Speaker 1: don't know if anybody knows more about their offensive line 709 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,040 Speaker 1: as deep as the Bills do. After this last of 710 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,520 Speaker 1: this last training camp, Mitch Morrise wasn't playing. They forced 711 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,640 Speaker 1: three different guys to take significant amount of reps at center. 712 00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,799 Speaker 1: They had the same four guys or five guys taking 713 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 1: reps at guard, and they had three or four or 714 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,719 Speaker 1: five guys taking reps at tackle, and all this on 715 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,480 Speaker 1: a rotational basis. With different combinations, so they know exactly 716 00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:13,839 Speaker 1: what all these guys can do and how well they 717 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 1: can do it. So if they do have a game 718 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 1: plan specific combination up front, they're sitting in a perfect 719 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:23,200 Speaker 1: spot to use it. And I see where Brownie's coming 720 00:35:23,239 --> 00:35:26,719 Speaker 1: from and his in his you know, wild, it's a 721 00:35:26,719 --> 00:35:29,919 Speaker 1: little bit wild, hot take. You know it's a little wild, 722 00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,719 Speaker 1: it is, but I can see it if nobody's ever 723 00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,560 Speaker 1: had not ever, but you know, nobody's ever had this 724 00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,880 Speaker 1: kind of idea about rotating offensive lineman. And one of 725 00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: the reasons defenses have been able to garner so much 726 00:35:44,200 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 1: pressure and attention from pass rushers is because they continually 727 00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,200 Speaker 1: rotate eight guys through, Like the Buffalo Bills running four three. 728 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: They got a starting four and they got four guys 729 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:58,840 Speaker 1: right behind it. They roll through. Anytime anybody even breaks 730 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,359 Speaker 1: a sweat, they're rotating out to keep guys fresh. Well, 731 00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,680 Speaker 1: the offensive line notoriously has always been the same five guys. 732 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:07,960 Speaker 1: So you get into the fourth quarter of a game 733 00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,160 Speaker 1: and you got an offensive line who's had sixty two 734 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:17,319 Speaker 1: snaps already playing against pass rushers who've only played thirty one. 735 00:36:18,800 --> 00:36:24,400 Speaker 1: They're fresher, so you can right it's it's not normal, 736 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,400 Speaker 1: but we should make sure if listeners know, this is 737 00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:30,719 Speaker 1: just Chris Brown's theory, right, this isn't Nobody told him 738 00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,399 Speaker 1: that's what they were doing. Nobody now he didn't see 739 00:36:32,400 --> 00:36:34,719 Speaker 1: anything and tell him anything. And in theory, I don't know. 740 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 1: It's just I'm not buying and sorry Brown, I will 741 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:39,400 Speaker 1: say this poppycock, huh, I will say, hey, yeah, you 742 00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,000 Speaker 1: asked me about continuity and what about that? He said poppycock. 743 00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:48,359 Speaker 1: I had to look up Poppycock. I think though. That's 744 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:54,240 Speaker 1: the one thing about the entire ship, LaShaun mccoything surprising. Okay, yes, whatever. 745 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,279 Speaker 1: The one thing that caught me completely off guard about 746 00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: the roster that they formulated was they ten offensive linemen. 747 00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:08,400 Speaker 1: To me, I'm like, that's what are you doing? I mean, 748 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,719 Speaker 1: what's up with that? It does speak to me to 749 00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:13,800 Speaker 1: some bigger plan or something else, because I you know, 750 00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: you're stuck talking like Connor McDermott. Okay, Ryan Bates, Okay, 751 00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:23,160 Speaker 1: those guys are worth roster spots over guys like maybe 752 00:37:23,239 --> 00:37:26,160 Speaker 1: Duke Williams or even Lashan McCoy. I mean, you know, 753 00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: I mean, what's up there? What are they doing? Why 754 00:37:28,200 --> 00:37:30,680 Speaker 1: are those guys that good. Sean McDermott was asked today 755 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:32,919 Speaker 1: about his offensive line. He was asked about the level 756 00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,879 Speaker 1: of confidence he has in his offensive line going into 757 00:37:35,960 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 1: this season opening around Sunday. Here's his response. I'm confident 758 00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:41,720 Speaker 1: in the group. I really am. I mean, I'm confident 759 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 1: in the in the people we have and whether that's 760 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: the offensive line or the other group excuse me position 761 00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:53,000 Speaker 1: groups that we've got guys that can get the job done. 762 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,520 Speaker 1: And whether they play guard, the person we're talking about 763 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,120 Speaker 1: plays tackle, center, We've shown that they've shown that they 764 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: can do that. They're resilient group. And yet I know 765 00:38:03,719 --> 00:38:05,600 Speaker 1: that they understand the challenge ahead of him. It's a 766 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 1: talented defense, it's a talented defensive line with a great 767 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:13,600 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, and and so they understand the challenge that 768 00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,920 Speaker 1: we face. No clues from the coach has to any 769 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:19,960 Speaker 1: kind of plan like that, what maybe prompts this sort 770 00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:22,920 Speaker 1: of speculation on the part of Chris Brown And well, no, 771 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,920 Speaker 1: it's just Chris Brown is kind of the versatility that 772 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:29,560 Speaker 1: you get from people like Colsiano and especially rookie Cody Ford, 773 00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:32,440 Speaker 1: who has played guard and tackle, right guard, right tackle 774 00:38:32,719 --> 00:38:35,640 Speaker 1: and McDermott was asked point blank this morning, Cody Ford, 775 00:38:35,719 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 1: is he gonna start for you at right guard or 776 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 1: at right tackle. Here's what he said. We just we're 777 00:38:40,560 --> 00:38:43,600 Speaker 1: just looking at it right now, and you know, you'll 778 00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,359 Speaker 1: see five guys out there and he's worked both, which 779 00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:49,440 Speaker 1: is good. And you know, we're gonna move him around 780 00:38:49,520 --> 00:38:51,719 Speaker 1: and we're going to continue to move guys around and 781 00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:56,800 Speaker 1: hopefully get it set. But you know, versatility upfront is 782 00:38:56,840 --> 00:39:00,440 Speaker 1: important too, position flexibility, however you want to say it, Josh, 783 00:39:00,520 --> 00:39:03,480 Speaker 1: it's I think we've built some of that through the preseason, 784 00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:07,680 Speaker 1: as I've mentioned, and you know, getting those guys building 785 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:13,000 Speaker 1: the continuity now is also important. So the important thing 786 00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: is these guys understand the roles, whether it's playing guard 787 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,480 Speaker 1: in this case for Cody, or playing tackle, and so 788 00:39:20,680 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 1: that's you know, I think I think the best football 789 00:39:22,680 --> 00:39:24,719 Speaker 1: of the group is ahead of them, but we've got 790 00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,640 Speaker 1: to continue to build it. Dermot did say we'll get 791 00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,600 Speaker 1: it set. He did say that, yeah, And I think too, 792 00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:32,799 Speaker 1: if you look at the guys they kept, they've got 793 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,200 Speaker 1: a lot of guys. They've got three guys that play 794 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:39,280 Speaker 1: a couple of posies. Feliciano's playing both guards and center, 795 00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 1: Spencer Long's playing guard and center, and Tian Seki backs 796 00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,319 Speaker 1: up both tackles. Well, the two extra guys usually keep 797 00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:50,759 Speaker 1: eight guys on the offensive line, right, well, the two 798 00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:53,120 Speaker 1: extra guys they kept to make it ten or two 799 00:39:53,200 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 1: backup tackles, Ryan Bates and Connor McDermott. That's to me, says, Okay, 800 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 1: they didn't know which one of those guys they wanted. 801 00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,279 Speaker 1: They're both kind of they're giving him a chance, and 802 00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,960 Speaker 1: if something push comes to shove and somebody gets injured 803 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: somewhere else, one of those two tackles is out the door, 804 00:40:09,200 --> 00:40:10,680 Speaker 1: you know, because that's where they have to start pulling 805 00:40:10,719 --> 00:40:13,440 Speaker 1: froster spots from, is the offensive line, because they've got 806 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:18,520 Speaker 1: It'll take, literally, it'll take a bus crash for Connor 807 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:21,360 Speaker 1: McDermott Ryan Bates to be active. Unless you get to 808 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,239 Speaker 1: the game on Sunday and all of a sudden they 809 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,480 Speaker 1: keep nine offensive lineman active. Then I'm looking at Brownie's saying, 810 00:40:27,560 --> 00:40:29,680 Speaker 1: you know, maybe you are nostradamas, you know, I mean, 811 00:40:29,719 --> 00:40:32,319 Speaker 1: I don't know, but I think for now, I think 812 00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:34,200 Speaker 1: that just the fact they wanted to keep some extra 813 00:40:34,280 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 1: tackles to make sure they were okay, if and Sechy 814 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,319 Speaker 1: can get through the season, he's thirty three. I mean 815 00:40:38,360 --> 00:40:40,600 Speaker 1: they want to make sure he gets, you know, to 816 00:40:40,680 --> 00:40:42,440 Speaker 1: the back end of the of the schedule. They want 817 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: to make sure he can stay healthy. The same thing 818 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:47,600 Speaker 1: up along the front. Give him those eyes a chance 819 00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:52,640 Speaker 1: to keep sharp. I'm talking about Bates and McDermott, the tackles. 820 00:40:53,680 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: I don't think you could see where there's this big 821 00:40:57,080 --> 00:41:00,320 Speaker 1: conspiracy and they're gonna spring this new philosophy on you 822 00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 1: where they're gonna play eight offensive lineman or seven offensive 823 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:09,799 Speaker 1: linemen throughout the game. That's a big leap for me, though, 824 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:12,200 Speaker 1: when you come down to the practicality of it, I 825 00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:14,759 Speaker 1: think so a break here. Hey, who which new come 826 00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,120 Speaker 1: around the Bills or the Jets will have the biggest 827 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,399 Speaker 1: impact on Sunday's game. That's the topic of the day. 828 00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,799 Speaker 1: We'll read some of your tweet answers on this. We'll 829 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:23,759 Speaker 1: take some of your phone calls when we come back 830 00:41:23,800 --> 00:41:26,400 Speaker 1: with more. It is One Bills Live presented by Kalida 831 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:43,120 Speaker 1: Health and this is Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to 832 00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,360 Speaker 1: the show One Bills Live. John Murphy, Steve Tasker here 833 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,360 Speaker 1: until three. Where can it call here Paul calling from Amherst. 834 00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,680 Speaker 1: Hello Paul, Welcome to the show. Hi John, Hi Steve. 835 00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: How long are you guys? Great? Great Paul, go ahead, 836 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,120 Speaker 1: great show. I love your show, guys. I had a question. 837 00:41:58,200 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 1: I'm not quite clear on the shade move. Is it 838 00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,840 Speaker 1: just completely the bills? I didn't believe in Singletary that 839 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,480 Speaker 1: much is or there's got to be more to it. 840 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,440 Speaker 1: Is it a money thing? Is it a culture thing 841 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:13,640 Speaker 1: with him? Well, it could be all a little bit 842 00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:15,799 Speaker 1: of all of that. I think what happened was Devin 843 00:42:15,880 --> 00:42:18,399 Speaker 1: Singletaron Brownie said this a little bit earlier in the show. 844 00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 1: I think Devin Singletary pleasantly surprised him. I thought they 845 00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,680 Speaker 1: thought he could play, and they checked him out before 846 00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,880 Speaker 1: the draft, you know they and Sean McDermott said this 847 00:42:26,960 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: in his press conference today, they didn't He didn't get 848 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,680 Speaker 1: asked to catch the ball very much at Florida Atlantic. 849 00:42:33,760 --> 00:42:35,600 Speaker 1: But when they went down and scouted him, that's all 850 00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,440 Speaker 1: they had him do, run routes and catch the ball. 851 00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 1: And they could see from that workout that oh yeah, 852 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 1: he can do that, that's no problem. So they brought 853 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:46,040 Speaker 1: him in. Another big question was can he step up 854 00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,399 Speaker 1: and take on a linebacker and protect the quarterback well 855 00:42:49,600 --> 00:42:52,839 Speaker 1: enough to play at this level and play quickly at 856 00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 1: this level. In his rookie season, I think he passed 857 00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:57,919 Speaker 1: that test, at least to a certain level of satisfaction. 858 00:42:58,280 --> 00:43:00,080 Speaker 1: I still don't think that's what he does best, but 859 00:43:00,280 --> 00:43:02,040 Speaker 1: he certainly can get it done when he needs to. 860 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,640 Speaker 1: And I think another thing, maybe there was a little 861 00:43:04,640 --> 00:43:09,320 Speaker 1: bit of a culture thing there. Uh Leshaun McCoy is 862 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:13,120 Speaker 1: doesn't have a squeaky clean past, but he certainly hasn't 863 00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:15,480 Speaker 1: been a problem here in Buffalo. He's been He's been 864 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,840 Speaker 1: a good teammate by all accounts. He was named a 865 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:21,200 Speaker 1: captain last year, although Sean McDermott benched him for a 866 00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:23,319 Speaker 1: minute last year as well for something that we did 867 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 1: never found out what it was. I don't know if 868 00:43:25,239 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 1: that was festering or if that was an indication of 869 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:30,680 Speaker 1: something underlying. I can't speak to that. On the surface, 870 00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:32,879 Speaker 1: Leshaun was nothing but a good teammate and a good 871 00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,680 Speaker 1: and a good player. And money's a factor too, And 872 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:38,480 Speaker 1: the money, the money is a factor. He'll they'll get 873 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,000 Speaker 1: about six point three million dollars of relief this year 874 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,760 Speaker 1: on the cap and you weigh that six million bucks 875 00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:48,799 Speaker 1: against what Devin Singletary, t J Yelden, and Frank Gore 876 00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,719 Speaker 1: are gonna give you, as opposed to whatever combination with 877 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:55,960 Speaker 1: lesha McCoy in the mix, if Leshaun was there with 878 00:43:56,040 --> 00:43:59,240 Speaker 1: Frank Goren Devon, or if it was Leshawn and TJ 879 00:43:59,560 --> 00:44:02,720 Speaker 1: and dev or Leshaun and Frank Gore and TJ, whatever 880 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:07,000 Speaker 1: combination with McCoy in the mix, you weigh that against 881 00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,520 Speaker 1: the six point three million dollar cap hit, and you think, 882 00:44:09,600 --> 00:44:11,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if the difference is great enough. So 883 00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: I think all of those things mixed together is what 884 00:44:14,480 --> 00:44:18,000 Speaker 1: led to the Leshawn McCoy, you know, moving on and 885 00:44:18,080 --> 00:44:19,600 Speaker 1: then moving away from him. I don't think it was 886 00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:22,200 Speaker 1: any animosity or anything like that, or spite or anybody. 887 00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: I think they just tried to make the best move 888 00:44:24,600 --> 00:44:26,600 Speaker 1: they could for the team, and I think money probably 889 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:30,160 Speaker 1: did creep into that equation, right, Thanks very much, thanks 890 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 1: for your call. Let's go to the tweet sheet and 891 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 1: we're trying to get answers to our question about Sunday's 892 00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: game Bills and Jets. Which newcomer do you think on 893 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,720 Speaker 1: the Bills or the Jets will have the biggest impact 894 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:42,160 Speaker 1: on Sunday. The tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan 895 00:44:42,280 --> 00:44:46,040 Speaker 1: Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. Michael 896 00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:48,800 Speaker 1: tweeting Greg Williams, it's gonna blitz his life away, so 897 00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:51,280 Speaker 1: Alan will look for Beasley for the quick and easy outlet. 898 00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:53,560 Speaker 1: He's saying, I believe Greg Williams, who yes, is a 899 00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:57,120 Speaker 1: newcomer first year as the Jets defense cord. I think 900 00:44:57,160 --> 00:44:59,160 Speaker 1: that's a good answer. I looked for Greg Williams, as 901 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,000 Speaker 1: I said to Brownie. Look for Greg Williams trying to 902 00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 1: make his mark in this game against his old team, 903 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,160 Speaker 1: the team that let him go sixteen years ago, his 904 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,279 Speaker 1: head coach here. But I look for Greg Williams to 905 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,080 Speaker 1: kind of make his mark. He's probably upset that the 906 00:45:10,200 --> 00:45:13,160 Speaker 1: Browns didn't keep him up. Steve, Yeah, Greg Williams is 907 00:45:14,719 --> 00:45:18,560 Speaker 1: he likes. He likes attention, you know, he likes it. 908 00:45:18,719 --> 00:45:21,800 Speaker 1: He likes being a guy who is known as a 909 00:45:21,960 --> 00:45:24,879 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator who can get it done. The guy's got 910 00:45:25,440 --> 00:45:29,280 Speaker 1: a wealth of experience. He's been in nine different spots 911 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,480 Speaker 1: since he was let go by the Buffalo Bills. Over 912 00:45:31,600 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: sixteen years. He has bounced around the national Football League. 913 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: He's you know, a little of Greg Williams is awesome. 914 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:40,719 Speaker 1: A lot of Greg Williams doesn't seem to be that great. 915 00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,520 Speaker 1: And he bounces around. Now, certainly the situations he's bounced 916 00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:49,680 Speaker 1: into have never been perfect for him, and some and 917 00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,919 Speaker 1: some of the moves he's had to make by his doing. 918 00:45:52,000 --> 00:45:54,239 Speaker 1: You know, the staff got fired, the head coach got fired, whatever. 919 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,920 Speaker 1: But uh, you know, and you gotta like what he 920 00:45:58,040 --> 00:46:01,040 Speaker 1: did last year in Cleveland with that team at the 921 00:46:01,160 --> 00:46:02,719 Speaker 1: second half of that season. He was one of the 922 00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,520 Speaker 1: guys left standing when they fired Hugh Jackson, when they 923 00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:08,239 Speaker 1: fired Todd Haley, and Freddie Kitchens got moved up to 924 00:46:08,280 --> 00:46:12,000 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator and Greg, you know, was still there 925 00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:16,799 Speaker 1: as the interim head coach. All right, Yeah, I think 926 00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,880 Speaker 1: you're right, Murph. I think Greg Williams is gonna have 927 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: a lot to say about who wins this game. We're 928 00:46:20,719 --> 00:46:22,320 Speaker 1: gonna take a break.

Ye, Basis, thank you for coming on. 987 00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 1: Steve and I were wondering your take, and we love 988 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:29,680 Speaker 1: getting your perspective, kind of a national perspective. Your take 989 00:49:29,760 --> 00:49:32,000 Speaker 1: on the release of Shady McCoy over the weekend. What 990 00:49:32,080 --> 00:49:34,640 Speaker 1: do you think? Well, I was personally disappointed. Shady and 991 00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 1: I are from the same area code seven one seven, 992 00:49:36,800 --> 00:49:40,120 Speaker 1: so I would we would sometimes I just look at 993 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:42,000 Speaker 1: him and say seven one seven and he'd laugh, you 994 00:49:42,040 --> 00:49:45,000 Speaker 1: know why, way of greeting. Um. I like Lashawan. He 995 00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:48,280 Speaker 1: was always good to me, always did interviews when I requested, 996 00:49:48,320 --> 00:49:50,920 Speaker 1: which is something obviously in my position, you're going to appreciate. 997 00:49:51,160 --> 00:49:53,799 Speaker 1: I thought he was always honest in interviews. I think 998 00:49:53,960 --> 00:49:56,000 Speaker 1: we might have done the only interview with him and 999 00:49:56,120 --> 00:50:00,440 Speaker 1: Frank or I did that this spring together, and that 1000 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:04,120 Speaker 1: won't happen again now, certainly not his teammates. So I 1001 00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,239 Speaker 1: think I do think there was some surprise, and a 1002 00:50:08,360 --> 00:50:10,360 Speaker 1: lot of times after the fact you'll hear, oh, we 1003 00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:12,880 Speaker 1: knew that was coming, or oh yeah, of course they 1004 00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:15,640 Speaker 1: got rid of that player, or you know, cut this 1005 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,080 Speaker 1: player or traded that player, not with this one. I 1006 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,040 Speaker 1: think it caught people by surprise a little bit. No 1007 00:50:21,160 --> 00:50:23,440 Speaker 1: surprise either that he ended up with with Andy Reid 1008 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,200 Speaker 1: in cancer that seems a perfect fit, probably the best 1009 00:50:26,239 --> 00:50:27,920 Speaker 1: place he could have right. I don't know how he 1010 00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:33,040 Speaker 1: felt ultimately about maybe an Eagles reunion, but it seems 1011 00:50:33,080 --> 00:50:35,000 Speaker 1: to me with Andy Reid's the perfect fit. I certainly 1012 00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:36,920 Speaker 1: wish him well. Like I said, always good to me, 1013 00:50:37,080 --> 00:50:43,360 Speaker 1: and I very much appreciate the men in this business, players, coaches, scouts, owners, 1014 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:46,600 Speaker 1: men and women who are good to me, and I 1015 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 1: think we should have appreciation for that. I'm not going 1016 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:50,920 Speaker 1: to tell you it was not surprise Saturday hearing your news, 1017 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:52,879 Speaker 1: But the more I thought about it, I thought back 1018 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:54,680 Speaker 1: to all the interviews Steve and I have done over 1019 00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 1: the last six months, where I kept asking a question, 1020 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:58,919 Speaker 1: how's that going to work? Right? How are you gonna 1021 00:50:58,920 --> 00:51:00,560 Speaker 1: get those three? How are you gonna get the ball enough? 1022 00:51:00,600 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 1: And it just never I could never get an explanation 1023 00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:04,160 Speaker 1: of how that was going to work out, except that 1024 00:51:04,239 --> 00:51:06,200 Speaker 1: the answer was will it can work? You know? You know? 1025 00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 1: And conceivably I guess it could have. But ultimately, I mean, 1026 00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,160 Speaker 1: the rookie and I was asking you guys before we 1027 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,520 Speaker 1: came on. Obviously, this is a credit, in my view, 1028 00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,800 Speaker 1: to the rookie. Singletary pushed the envelope as opposed to 1029 00:51:18,920 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 1: being handed something or as opposed to them saying, well, 1030 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,720 Speaker 1: we're going to keep one veteran, and for these four reasons, 1031 00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:26,800 Speaker 1: we have more faith in frank or in my opinion, 1032 00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:30,439 Speaker 1: it seems to be more about the rookie saying I'm 1033 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:33,839 Speaker 1: ready and them obviously taking advantage of that, which most 1034 00:51:33,880 --> 00:51:35,800 Speaker 1: teams would and I understand that. So you got this 1035 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,120 Speaker 1: opening game and for he at Murph and I sitting 1036 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 1: here talking about Bills all the time, and we kind 1037 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,040 Speaker 1: of always do this, we kind of dig ourselves into 1038 00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,440 Speaker 1: this place where, wow, this is a huge game. But 1039 00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 1: this is a big game. These two teams have been 1040 00:51:46,640 --> 00:51:49,840 Speaker 1: on a similar trajectory for two years. They've drafted a 1041 00:51:49,920 --> 00:51:52,800 Speaker 1: quarterback in the same round, just four or five picks apart, 1042 00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: and you know, the Jets of you know, they've changed 1043 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:58,440 Speaker 1: general managers head coaches this season. But this is a 1044 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,080 Speaker 1: game for two teams that are trying to catch the 1045 00:52:01,160 --> 00:52:04,360 Speaker 1: Patriots in a year when both teams want it and 1046 00:52:04,520 --> 00:52:06,840 Speaker 1: expect to take a big step forward. I agree. I 1047 00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:09,000 Speaker 1: think that it is a big game for these two teams, 1048 00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:11,400 Speaker 1: and I think it's a big rivalry right now for 1049 00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:13,800 Speaker 1: these two teams. For many of the reasons that you noted. 1050 00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:18,359 Speaker 1: The quarterback thing. They are two different quarterbacks. I think 1051 00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:21,120 Speaker 1: a little bit of different expectations. When you talk about 1052 00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:25,680 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold, Listen, he's really good on the run. I've 1053 00:52:25,760 --> 00:52:29,040 Speaker 1: had veteran players in this league. Not compare him to 1054 00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:32,440 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers in terms of boy, they're the same, but 1055 00:52:32,680 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 1: just in style, compare him to Aaron Rodgers in the 1056 00:52:35,920 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 1: idea that Sam is often better out of the pocket. 1057 00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,240 Speaker 1: He's often better, you know, we would say off schedule. 1058 00:52:41,360 --> 00:52:43,200 Speaker 1: You know, he may not even consider it off schedule. 1059 00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,799 Speaker 1: He's almost better when he has to make a play 1060 00:52:46,200 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 1: than when he just drops back and somehow has a 1061 00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:50,839 Speaker 1: clean pocket. I don't know. I don't know how much 1062 00:52:51,160 --> 00:52:52,960 Speaker 1: either of these two guys on Sunday is going to 1063 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:54,960 Speaker 1: have a clean pocket. By the way, because I think 1064 00:52:55,040 --> 00:52:57,840 Speaker 1: both of these defenses are going to get after quarterbacks period. 1065 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:00,959 Speaker 1: Let alone the Bills getting after Darnold and the Jets 1066 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:04,160 Speaker 1: getting after Alan. I think it's gonna be fun. I 1067 00:53:04,239 --> 00:53:06,480 Speaker 1: think it's going to be a very early measuring stick 1068 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:09,480 Speaker 1: in year two of who has the edge. Is Darnald 1069 00:53:09,600 --> 00:53:13,880 Speaker 1: significantly better than Josh Allen? And I just I just 1070 00:53:13,960 --> 00:53:18,279 Speaker 1: think they're so different, you know, um, I think that 1071 00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,799 Speaker 1: they go about it so differently. I think of Josh 1072 00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:25,080 Speaker 1: Allen as more of the physical player with his legs 1073 00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 1: who's going to dictate a little bit. Obviously, both players 1074 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:31,239 Speaker 1: want the completion percentage from a year ago to go 1075 00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,879 Speaker 1: up for rookies, That's not uncommon that the next year 1076 00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:36,000 Speaker 1: they take a jump in that regard. I think both 1077 00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:39,960 Speaker 1: teams are hoping that happens. I don't know about Allen. Um, 1078 00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:43,160 Speaker 1: Sam Donald is a captain as a second year player. 1079 00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:45,239 Speaker 1: I do think that's significant for a team that's going 1080 00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:48,000 Speaker 1: to grow around him, and that has some really veteran 1081 00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:52,200 Speaker 1: players on defense, but not as many on offense really, so, um, 1082 00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:56,160 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think he's better necessarily. I just 1083 00:53:56,320 --> 00:53:59,120 Speaker 1: think they're different and I think the contrast is going 1084 00:53:59,200 --> 00:54:01,200 Speaker 1: to be fun on Sunday. It's early. But how much 1085 00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 1: is Adam gaze meant to a lot. Yeah, I think 1086 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,839 Speaker 1: he's finally getting, frankly, some good coaching, some coaching where 1087 00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:12,400 Speaker 1: it plays to his strengths. And one thing Sam told us, 1088 00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:15,160 Speaker 1: and maybe Josh has had some of these same sentiments. 1089 00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:17,160 Speaker 1: At least he said last year when there was a 1090 00:54:17,200 --> 00:54:19,120 Speaker 1: play didn't like, he thought it was his job to 1091 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,279 Speaker 1: gut through it to make it, to try to make 1092 00:54:21,320 --> 00:54:25,120 Speaker 1: it work this year. He says, I don't like this play, 1093 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,680 Speaker 1: and Gaze gets sort of it. So I think that 1094 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,719 Speaker 1: that kind of growth in a quarterback is probably not unexpected. 1095 00:54:32,040 --> 00:54:34,440 Speaker 1: But I did find that striking and Greig Williams, a 1096 00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:37,439 Speaker 1: defensive coordinator, brings I'm certainly he's the He's the straw 1097 00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:39,440 Speaker 1: that stirs the drink. I mean, the guys have got 1098 00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:44,200 Speaker 1: a big personality, he insists, exactly, yeah, but he but 1099 00:54:44,560 --> 00:54:46,600 Speaker 1: you can we can kind of chuckle aboutn't we do 1100 00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:48,880 Speaker 1: all the time. But man, he brings something to the 1101 00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:51,439 Speaker 1: table as a defensive coordinator for the Gene does. He's 1102 00:54:51,440 --> 00:54:53,920 Speaker 1: got some guys he does. He faces the Bills and 1103 00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:55,839 Speaker 1: then the Browns in weeks one and two. He will 1104 00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:59,720 Speaker 1: probably at raw red meat during those weeks and between 1105 00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:05,120 Speaker 1: those games. Greg Williams also has a significant deficiency on 1106 00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,520 Speaker 1: his defense at cornerback, and that is not an easy thing, 1107 00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,960 Speaker 1: as anyone knows. Steve you know better, much better than 1108 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 1: I to make up for and he's going to have 1109 00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,320 Speaker 1: to coach around that a little bit. Tremaine Johnson, the 1110 00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:19,560 Speaker 1: one veteran that they have is back Brian from a 1111 00:55:19,600 --> 00:55:22,919 Speaker 1: hamstring Brian Poole, who has done a nice job since 1112 00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,799 Speaker 1: signing from Atlanta. He's probably been a little better than 1113 00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:28,439 Speaker 1: some of us may be anticipated. On the other side, 1114 00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:32,160 Speaker 1: there's a weakness there, and you know, at safety, Jamal 1115 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,640 Speaker 1: Adams is terrific and Marcus may as someone who still 1116 00:55:34,680 --> 00:55:37,040 Speaker 1: has to prove he can stay on the field, you know, 1117 00:55:37,120 --> 00:55:38,960 Speaker 1: and not get nicked up. It seems like, you know, 1118 00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:42,319 Speaker 1: on a very regular basis. So I think there's an 1119 00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:46,000 Speaker 1: obvious advantage if you're doing defense by defense. To me, 1120 00:55:46,200 --> 00:55:49,160 Speaker 1: the biggest advantage in this game is the Bill secondary. 1121 00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:51,320 Speaker 1: You would take every day of the week over the 1122 00:55:51,400 --> 00:55:55,080 Speaker 1: Jet secondary. Again, Jamal Adams is a fantastic safety, but 1123 00:55:55,320 --> 00:55:58,480 Speaker 1: if you're talking about the taking the whole secondary, that's 1124 00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:01,520 Speaker 1: a no brainer. Issues on the back end of the 1125 00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,920 Speaker 1: Jets defense, it's hard for me to imagine Greg Williams 1126 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:07,719 Speaker 1: taking that into account and maybe backing off. What Yeah, 1127 00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,960 Speaker 1: I think, I think you'll probably go harder, right, I mean, 1128 00:56:10,239 --> 00:56:12,120 Speaker 1: the one thing, you know, I asked the new GM 1129 00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:14,200 Speaker 1: Joe Douglas. He had a press conference I don't know, 1130 00:56:14,239 --> 00:56:16,040 Speaker 1: a week and a half or so ago, and I 1131 00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,320 Speaker 1: did ask him, if you know, because a lot of 1132 00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: the questions were about finding a corner. You know, you're 1133 00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:22,880 Speaker 1: in late August and now of course early September, but 1134 00:56:22,920 --> 00:56:24,880 Speaker 1: at the time, you're in late August talking to a 1135 00:56:24,960 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: GM about needing a cornerback in the national football and 1136 00:56:28,239 --> 00:56:30,080 Speaker 1: we're not talking about like depth, We're going about starter. 1137 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,839 Speaker 1: You can't do it right. Yeah, but I did ask 1138 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 1: him if it factors in at all that he believes 1139 00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,399 Speaker 1: he has a defensive coordinator that can scheme around such deficiencies. 1140 00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,080 Speaker 1: And he gave a long answer, but the answer was yes. 1141 00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,320 Speaker 1: A lot is being asked of Greg Williams with this defense, 1142 00:56:46,400 --> 00:56:48,879 Speaker 1: given the corner situation, and that's one of the things 1143 00:56:48,920 --> 00:56:51,239 Speaker 1: that Bills, you know, kind of we're thinking they We 1144 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,439 Speaker 1: had this big debate in the offseason, which what's better 1145 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 1: to have pressure upfront or coverage in the back end, 1146 00:56:57,800 --> 00:56:59,960 Speaker 1: and all fans and everybody we don't want pass rush right, 1147 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,560 Speaker 1: almost see the quarterback go down. Right. Analytics guys tell 1148 00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,839 Speaker 1: you just the opposite. The coverage is the more sustainable, 1149 00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:09,400 Speaker 1: does the best for you sustainably because even if the 1150 00:57:09,480 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 1: quarterback like Darnald and Alan can get away from that 1151 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:14,000 Speaker 1: on even if you have great pressure, they escape and 1152 00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 1: then your secondary's exposed. That's gonna be a big question 1153 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:21,040 Speaker 1: as to whether the not whether the Jets can put 1154 00:57:21,080 --> 00:57:23,720 Speaker 1: pressure on Josh Allen but perhaps keep him in the pocket. Yep, 1155 00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:26,400 Speaker 1: And I think both teams will have that as a goal, 1156 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:29,040 Speaker 1: keeping Darnold in the pocket and keeping Alan in the pocket. 1157 00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:32,480 Speaker 1: You know, it kind of reminds me I just lost 1158 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,200 Speaker 1: my train of thought because I went to the quarterbacks 1159 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,840 Speaker 1: the um. I'll get it back. But one of the 1160 00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:42,040 Speaker 1: things about scheming around this stuff is it's week one, 1161 00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:45,120 Speaker 1: so I feel like we're all going to see surprises 1162 00:57:45,280 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 1: all over the place on Sunday, right in games that 1163 00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,000 Speaker 1: we're not even covering, but we're watching the highlights. And 1164 00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:52,520 Speaker 1: certainly at Sunday at MetLife Stadium, we're gonna see the 1165 00:57:52,640 --> 00:57:54,760 Speaker 1: I'm gonna see the Jets do things that I've never 1166 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:57,160 Speaker 1: seen them do as many of their practices as I've seen. 1167 00:57:57,200 --> 00:57:59,240 Speaker 1: I'm certainly going to see the Bills do things I've 1168 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:02,360 Speaker 1: never seen them. And the teams are gonna see things 1169 00:58:02,440 --> 00:58:04,320 Speaker 1: from each other. You know, we're gonna see Ed Oliver 1170 00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: and Quinnon Williams on the same field. You know that's 1171 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:08,520 Speaker 1: gonna be fun. They're not gonna be on the same 1172 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:10,520 Speaker 1: field at the same time. But it's gonna be fun 1173 00:58:10,560 --> 00:58:12,160 Speaker 1: to see them on the same field. And the one 1174 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 1: the one thing I was going to mention when you 1175 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 1: were talking about the pressure and in corners versus front 1176 00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:19,640 Speaker 1: is we all hear everything about edge rusher. Well, who's 1177 00:58:19,640 --> 00:58:21,760 Speaker 1: gonna rush from the edge, who's gonna rush from edds? Well, 1178 00:58:21,960 --> 00:58:24,320 Speaker 1: I've never known a quarterback who likes to be rushed 1179 00:58:24,440 --> 00:58:27,080 Speaker 1: from the A gap. So you know you're talking about 1180 00:58:27,160 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 1: defenses with the Jets and the Giant, Well, we'll get 1181 00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 1: to the Giants perhaps next week. But the Jets and 1182 00:58:33,480 --> 00:58:35,920 Speaker 1: the Bills that can get after you at the A 1183 00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:39,000 Speaker 1: gap level, which can drive a quarterback crazy. Yeah. Kim 1184 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 1: Jones our guest NFL Network reporter here to cover the Bills. 1185 00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,400 Speaker 1: She'll be on the field for NFL Game Day Morning 1186 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:46,800 Speaker 1: on NFL Network on Sunday for the Bills Jets game. 1187 00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:50,919 Speaker 1: UM leving On Bell hasn't played in what six it'll 1188 00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:54,280 Speaker 1: be six hundred plus days. Um Sean McDermott said something interesting, 1189 00:58:54,320 --> 00:58:56,440 Speaker 1: I think it was Monday this week, that maybe that's good, 1190 00:58:56,560 --> 00:58:58,120 Speaker 1: Maybe that's good for a running back. He'll be out 1191 00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 1: that long. Yeah, thank well. And that's because I'm sort 1192 00:59:00,400 --> 00:59:02,400 Speaker 1: of the line of thinking to the point where New 1193 00:59:02,480 --> 00:59:04,280 Speaker 1: York media has now asked, say, Quan, do you like 1194 00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,360 Speaker 1: that idea? You know, in a second year, you know 1195 00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:09,960 Speaker 1: down the road, would you take a year off? And 1196 00:59:10,160 --> 00:59:13,200 Speaker 1: you know, say Quans, so to get you know, agreeable 1197 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:15,760 Speaker 1: three million dollars guaranteed where you take a year off? Exactly, 1198 00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,919 Speaker 1: so agreeable, He answers the question when what he should 1199 00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:21,200 Speaker 1: say is dude, I'm in my second year, leave me alone. 1200 00:59:21,600 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, yeah, I um what was the quo? 1201 00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 1: Could that be a benefit? Yeah, it could be. He 1202 00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:31,800 Speaker 1: also could be a little rusty. Can always with a 1203 00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,920 Speaker 1: new line, with a new quarterback, hasn't taken a snap. 1204 00:59:35,680 --> 00:59:38,520 Speaker 1: Um looks good at practice. Listen. You see him lined 1205 00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,120 Speaker 1: up wide, you see him lined up in the slot, 1206 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,360 Speaker 1: you see him in the backfield, you see him everywhere. 1207 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:45,840 Speaker 1: So that is gonna be interesting. He's still gonna I 1208 00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:48,960 Speaker 1: think too, the big questions. You give these guys all 1209 00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: this money and they kind of take it out of gear. 1210 00:59:50,680 --> 00:59:52,160 Speaker 1: He seems just the eye. He seems to have a 1211 00:59:52,240 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 1: chip on his shoulder about everything right ended in Pittsburgh. 1212 00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,400 Speaker 1: What people are saying about the the the whether it 1213 00:59:57,520 --> 00:59:59,160 Speaker 1: was a smart move to do the way he did, 1214 00:59:59,360 --> 01:00:01,480 Speaker 1: or take them in Pittsburgh two years ago and have 1215 01:00:01,600 --> 01:00:04,400 Speaker 1: that money, all that stuff. He kind of, like most 1216 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:07,520 Speaker 1: good players do, he bawled all that up and stuck 1217 01:00:07,560 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 1: it onto a chip on his shoulder. And now you 1218 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,360 Speaker 1: kind of expect him to be kind of an all 1219 01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,720 Speaker 1: show you mentality. Well, I had a guy's place to 1220 01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,760 Speaker 1: be and I had a theory a couple of years 1221 01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:20,720 Speaker 1: ago when O'Dell missed twelve games after breaking his ankle, 1222 01:00:21,040 --> 01:00:23,840 Speaker 1: and people, you know, highly criticized even at that time, 1223 01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,840 Speaker 1: and I said to my radio audience is on WFA, 1224 01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,560 Speaker 1: and I said it on an NFL network, we forgot 1225 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:33,560 Speaker 1: how good Odell is because he didn't see him play 1226 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:35,240 Speaker 1: for most of a season, and all you could do 1227 01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 1: is complain about him not being there and everything else. 1228 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,720 Speaker 1: I think we've forgotten Leveon Bell in the production that 1229 01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:43,960 Speaker 1: he had. I think a guy like that. I agree 1230 01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:45,880 Speaker 1: with what you're saying about the chip and everything else. 1231 01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:47,800 Speaker 1: We can also look at the money and make the 1232 01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,560 Speaker 1: case very solidly he's never getting that money back and 1233 01:00:50,640 --> 01:00:53,160 Speaker 1: it probably was a financial mistake. Yeah, he may not 1234 01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:54,920 Speaker 1: look at it that way. And good for him. I 1235 01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:57,320 Speaker 1: want him to find the positives in making a decision 1236 01:00:57,400 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 1: like that. But Leveon Bell is pretty dark and good 1237 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,600 Speaker 1: and very very productive. He is a weapon guys that 1238 01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:07,720 Speaker 1: the Jets have never had and he certainly is their 1239 01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:12,560 Speaker 1: best offensive weapon, at least since Curtis Martin. So you 1240 01:01:12,680 --> 01:01:16,400 Speaker 1: were talking about a guy that they've never been able 1241 01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:19,520 Speaker 1: to showcase and he does it all. What about the 1242 01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:23,000 Speaker 1: Jets offensive line? Are they because he's coming from two 1243 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,400 Speaker 1: years ago? He came from the Pittsburgh Teaters, who had 1244 01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:27,680 Speaker 1: probably the most dominant offensive line of football at that time. 1245 01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,600 Speaker 1: You were doing everything and he comes to the Jets 1246 01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,320 Speaker 1: And is he going to expect the same kind of look? 1247 01:01:33,400 --> 01:01:35,480 Speaker 1: And it's got to be a different philosophy, different offense, 1248 01:01:35,520 --> 01:01:37,960 Speaker 1: different play caller, A lot of it's going to be different. 1249 01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,240 Speaker 1: Can you transpose the production from one team with that 1250 01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:42,960 Speaker 1: offensive line to a Jet team with a different offensive line, 1251 01:01:42,960 --> 01:01:46,400 Speaker 1: different offense, different play caller, different quarterback, different receivers from 1252 01:01:46,440 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: the outside, Yeah, you different tight end? Is the same 1253 01:01:49,160 --> 01:01:50,640 Speaker 1: guy with all those different No? No, I would say 1254 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,200 Speaker 1: probably not. I would say he's probably not, But I 1255 01:01:54,360 --> 01:01:56,080 Speaker 1: do think that he can be something Like I said, 1256 01:01:56,120 --> 01:01:58,280 Speaker 1: that the Jets haven't had, and I think that that's 1257 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,160 Speaker 1: really important to them. But no, I don't think you 1258 01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:03,560 Speaker 1: can just replicate it. I don't think that his patience 1259 01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:06,400 Speaker 1: is something that they've practiced very much of. You know, 1260 01:02:06,560 --> 01:02:08,480 Speaker 1: he is a patient runner, He finds the hole. He 1261 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:11,840 Speaker 1: has a unique running style. There's no way that they've 1262 01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,480 Speaker 1: replicated that, even in a practice setting where things are 1263 01:02:14,920 --> 01:02:19,280 Speaker 1: fairly up tempo and pretty much ones against ones. There's 1264 01:02:19,320 --> 01:02:21,360 Speaker 1: just no way they've been able to. So there is 1265 01:02:21,400 --> 01:02:23,520 Speaker 1: going to be That's what That's a little bit of 1266 01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,840 Speaker 1: what I meant. We're gonna learn things Sunday that we 1267 01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:27,760 Speaker 1: just haven't had a chance to see, and that is 1268 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,840 Speaker 1: one of them. Him with that offensive line, the offensive 1269 01:02:30,880 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: line learning him. You know, is he going to surprise you, Steve? 1270 01:02:33,640 --> 01:02:35,760 Speaker 1: If you know you're watching this game and you say, 1271 01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:38,600 Speaker 1: boy that that was a miscommunication because the hole was here, 1272 01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 1: you know, of course it's not going to surprise you 1273 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 1: because it's probably going to happen exactly. Kim Jones, NFL 1274 01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:46,320 Speaker 1: never gives with us. I have one more Jets question 1275 01:02:46,400 --> 01:02:47,720 Speaker 1: for you, and it's kind of a I guess a 1276 01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:52,120 Speaker 1: bigger picture question, Steve, and I got great delight early 1277 01:02:52,560 --> 01:02:55,240 Speaker 1: late in the winter, early in the spring, laughing at 1278 01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 1: the Jets for Adam Gase's introductory news conference. Yeah, the 1279 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:01,600 Speaker 1: Mike mccagunen stuff. Yes, And now as we approached Sunday's game, 1280 01:03:01,640 --> 01:03:04,320 Speaker 1: I'm thinking none of that matters anymore. They've got some 1281 01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,280 Speaker 1: players and coach a little bit, you know what I mean, 1282 01:03:07,640 --> 01:03:11,000 Speaker 1: All of that offseason distraction is not there anymore. And 1283 01:03:11,080 --> 01:03:13,640 Speaker 1: that's probably true. It was true with Rex to a 1284 01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,680 Speaker 1: large degree, you know what I mean, Like it's always 1285 01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:18,960 Speaker 1: true when there's change. I listen to the Adam Gays 1286 01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,400 Speaker 1: press conference was bizarre. I mean, you know, I think 1287 01:03:21,480 --> 01:03:24,240 Speaker 1: that was a fair appraisal of it. It also didn't 1288 01:03:24,320 --> 01:03:28,880 Speaker 1: ultimately matter Mike mccagnet. The timing of his firing was 1289 01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:32,280 Speaker 1: unfortunate and was not how you would plan it. But 1290 01:03:32,920 --> 01:03:34,840 Speaker 1: now looking at it, it was probably a move that 1291 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:37,520 Speaker 1: needed to be made whenever it was made, and I 1292 01:03:37,600 --> 01:03:39,920 Speaker 1: think the Jets with Joe Douglass frankly, are better for it. 1293 01:03:40,000 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 1: And I like Mike mccagne, so I certainly have no 1294 01:03:42,120 --> 01:03:45,200 Speaker 1: personal knock against him. I do think Gays is a 1295 01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:48,480 Speaker 1: better head coach for Sam Darnold. Then Todd Bows would 1296 01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:50,800 Speaker 1: have ended up being had he headlonger with Sam. I 1297 01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:53,160 Speaker 1: just think so. I don't think with Jeremy Bates as 1298 01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:56,120 Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, a whole lot got done with Sam Darnold, 1299 01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:58,000 Speaker 1: and I think that's a shame. But I think it's 1300 01:03:58,080 --> 01:04:00,400 Speaker 1: not too late, you know, as he's in his second 1301 01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 1: year obviously, So you're right, none of that stuff matters. 1302 01:04:03,240 --> 01:04:05,280 Speaker 1: But in the offseason, it kind of gets us through, 1303 01:04:05,800 --> 01:04:07,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. It kind of gets us through. 1304 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 1: It gets tabloid backpage right, a headline writers through. It 1305 01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:15,160 Speaker 1: gets us through lots of empty hours of programming and 1306 01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:19,040 Speaker 1: discussion and sports talk radio. So we're always grateful for it. 1307 01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,400 Speaker 1: But does it matter Sunday? I'd say almost none of 1308 01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,320 Speaker 1: it matters Sunday in your role is radio host and 1309 01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:27,400 Speaker 1: you hear, i'm sure from Jets fans and just a 1310 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,960 Speaker 1: question about what's the Jets fans perception about their team, 1311 01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,640 Speaker 1: a little more optimism than they've had. I think I 1312 01:04:33,760 --> 01:04:36,600 Speaker 1: think with Gays. The one thing about Gays um and 1313 01:04:36,720 --> 01:04:39,960 Speaker 1: I don't think he's unlike McDermott in this hell. He 1314 01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:42,800 Speaker 1: gets a good question or just a football question that 1315 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't have to be you know, the 1316 01:04:43,920 --> 01:04:46,120 Speaker 1: greatest question ever asked, and he gives you a good 1317 01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:49,960 Speaker 1: football answer. And I do think we appreciate that because 1318 01:04:50,600 --> 01:04:53,240 Speaker 1: Todd bowls for example, UM and I have great respect 1319 01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,720 Speaker 1: for him, particularly as a defensive coordinator, but Todd didn't 1320 01:04:56,840 --> 01:04:58,680 Speaker 1: love that part of the job. And it was clear, 1321 01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,880 Speaker 1: you know, if you needed a sound bite, you know, 1322 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,840 Speaker 1: whether to play on a radio broadcast or obviously on 1323 01:05:04,960 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 1: NFL Network from Todd Bowles, you kind of to cross 1324 01:05:07,720 --> 01:05:09,360 Speaker 1: your fingers that you were going to get a couple 1325 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 1: of cents and a half sound exactly exactly. Whereas Adam 1326 01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:17,640 Speaker 1: Gase will talk football with you essentially at his press conferences, 1327 01:05:17,880 --> 01:05:20,400 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott will give you a football answer at his 1328 01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:23,320 Speaker 1: press conferences. And I do think the fan appreciates that. 1329 01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:25,760 Speaker 1: I know the reporters do, at least I do. But 1330 01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:28,360 Speaker 1: I do think that there's a difference. I think there's 1331 01:05:28,400 --> 01:05:33,320 Speaker 1: a little bit more of a sense of um optimism 1332 01:05:33,600 --> 01:05:36,919 Speaker 1: that things are going to steadily get better and stay better. 1333 01:05:37,560 --> 01:05:40,560 Speaker 1: The Jets have had some moments, but they haven't sustained them. 1334 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:42,560 Speaker 1: I think there's more of a feeling that they'll be 1335 01:05:42,680 --> 01:05:45,320 Speaker 1: able to sustain well. I gotta ask you too. When 1336 01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:47,480 Speaker 1: I was working with CBS, we go down to do 1337 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,439 Speaker 1: the Dolphins when Gaye was there for the three years, 1338 01:05:50,560 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: I found him to be a really youthful, energetic guy 1339 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 1: and who I thought, Wow, he would really connect with 1340 01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,160 Speaker 1: the players. Now he wasn't presidential, as we saw in 1341 01:05:58,200 --> 01:06:01,400 Speaker 1: the introductory news. He does some urky stuff right when 1342 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:03,280 Speaker 1: he's off the field, and people may not know this. 1343 01:06:03,360 --> 01:06:06,200 Speaker 1: When he's off the field, the hats backwards, Yeah, always, 1344 01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:08,160 Speaker 1: he only puts it forwards when he's on the field 1345 01:06:08,200 --> 01:06:10,760 Speaker 1: on camera in front of it. He's a young type 1346 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,640 Speaker 1: of guy, and I think the players respond, yes, he's 1347 01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:15,800 Speaker 1: still that guy. Yes. And I go back to a 1348 01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,360 Speaker 1: question he got the other day guys about Steve McClendon, 1349 01:06:18,440 --> 01:06:21,480 Speaker 1: defensive lineman. He's also a captain this year, and he 1350 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:23,760 Speaker 1: was essentially asked a question, and a good one, I 1351 01:06:23,840 --> 01:06:26,720 Speaker 1: thought from a New York Post reporter about the idea 1352 01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,800 Speaker 1: that when a new regime comes in, often a Steve 1353 01:06:29,920 --> 01:06:33,400 Speaker 1: McClendon kind of player, a veteran clearly on the back 1354 01:06:33,520 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 1: nine of his career, productive but not all pro, is 1355 01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:40,000 Speaker 1: sometimes one of the first to go, you know, we 1356 01:06:40,080 --> 01:06:41,960 Speaker 1: want to get our guys in here. That kind of thing. 1357 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 1: The reporter could not even get the entire question out. 1358 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:49,520 Speaker 1: Gas was shaking his head no and saying no chance. 1359 01:06:49,640 --> 01:06:52,120 Speaker 1: In other words, no way were we cutting this guy. 1360 01:06:52,400 --> 01:06:54,360 Speaker 1: No chance, he wasn't going to be here. And then 1361 01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,480 Speaker 1: he went on to tell us how important McClendon has 1362 01:06:57,520 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: been to a young quinnin Williams and to other players 1363 01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:02,400 Speaker 1: on the D line, how respected he is in the 1364 01:07:02,480 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: locker room. And he's not a big talker, but when 1365 01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,360 Speaker 1: he talks, his teammates listen, and you guys know how 1366 01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,800 Speaker 1: important that is. So that's an answer a lot about McClendon. 1367 01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:12,560 Speaker 1: And I understand that, and your audience is not wrapped 1368 01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:15,200 Speaker 1: up in Steve McLendon. I get it. But I thought 1369 01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:18,479 Speaker 1: that was a very telling moment for who Adam Gaze 1370 01:07:18,520 --> 01:07:20,880 Speaker 1: the head coaches. He's not even a defensive guy, as 1371 01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 1: you know, he's an offensive guy. He's calling the offensive plays. 1372 01:07:24,040 --> 01:07:27,480 Speaker 1: But when asked about Steve McClendon, he had that passionate 1373 01:07:27,720 --> 01:07:30,920 Speaker 1: ain't go crazy, but that strongly worded an answer that 1374 01:07:30,960 --> 01:07:32,560 Speaker 1: it's stuck with me. It's stuck with me. I think 1375 01:07:32,600 --> 01:07:35,200 Speaker 1: it's arrogant for new head coaching to come in thinking 1376 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:39,000 Speaker 1: there's nobody on this team that's worthy of me coaching. 1377 01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:41,720 Speaker 1: But they do and they can, and I think it's 1378 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,760 Speaker 1: getting away from that. There's still this year, after three years, 1379 01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:48,440 Speaker 1: there's still four four guys on the roster that we're 1380 01:07:48,480 --> 01:07:51,040 Speaker 1: not here when Sean McDermott took over three years ago, 1381 01:07:51,160 --> 01:07:53,480 Speaker 1: which is a long time, and they're all those kind 1382 01:07:53,520 --> 01:07:55,400 Speaker 1: of guys that he's gone to. I gotta ask you 1383 01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:57,680 Speaker 1: this about you give a Kyle Williams. That's right, you 1384 01:07:57,720 --> 01:08:00,560 Speaker 1: know what I mean. Kyle Williams in some ways now, 1385 01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:02,200 Speaker 1: you could tell me he's a better player than Steve 1386 01:08:02,280 --> 01:08:04,120 Speaker 1: McClendon has been. And I'm probably not going to argue 1387 01:08:04,120 --> 01:08:06,280 Speaker 1: with that. Steve's had his moments, but Kyle is probably 1388 01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,760 Speaker 1: a better player overall in terms of his career. But 1389 01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:10,480 Speaker 1: you're right. I mean, that's the kind of player that 1390 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:12,320 Speaker 1: a head coach could have come in here and said 1391 01:08:12,960 --> 01:08:16,680 Speaker 1: a big, big money, you know, big personality in a 1392 01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:18,800 Speaker 1: sense that he's highly respected. We got to get our 1393 01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 1: guys in here, and they didn't do that with him. 1394 01:08:20,439 --> 01:08:22,759 Speaker 1: That's a good example here. My question about Sam Darnold 1395 01:08:22,800 --> 01:08:25,680 Speaker 1: when they lined it up on Sunday, who's gonna be 1396 01:08:25,800 --> 01:08:29,040 Speaker 1: his favorite target. It's a good question. You know what, 1397 01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:31,519 Speaker 1: if you weren't suspended for four games because of an 1398 01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,160 Speaker 1: off the field issue, I would have said tight end 1399 01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:37,120 Speaker 1: Chris mc McClendon. If McClendon plays tight end Sunday, we 1400 01:08:37,240 --> 01:08:44,200 Speaker 1: really Herndon. I would say Herndon, Chris Herndon. But I sense, 1401 01:08:44,640 --> 01:08:47,120 Speaker 1: first of all, it might be Leaveon. It might be 1402 01:08:47,200 --> 01:08:49,680 Speaker 1: leave On, but he and Quincy and Noon will have 1403 01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,439 Speaker 1: a really nice um camaraderie. Robbie I do too. He's 1404 01:08:53,439 --> 01:08:55,160 Speaker 1: a tough guy. He's a tough guy, does a lot 1405 01:08:55,200 --> 01:08:58,920 Speaker 1: of the dirt, dirty year work, especially by wide receiver standards. UM. 1406 01:08:59,160 --> 01:09:01,960 Speaker 1: Robbie Anderson wants to be more than just the deep threat. 1407 01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:05,360 Speaker 1: Adam Gase has been open to having him run some 1408 01:09:05,439 --> 01:09:07,960 Speaker 1: different routes. We'll see how that pans out in a game. 1409 01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,879 Speaker 1: But if I had to say one, it would probably 1410 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:14,880 Speaker 1: be a non Ona. But it would not surprise me 1411 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,639 Speaker 1: if it ends up being bell And after weeks five, 1412 01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:20,599 Speaker 1: six or seven, it's going to be herned In, I think, Kim. 1413 01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:22,360 Speaker 1: The last question I have for you use about the Bills. 1414 01:09:22,479 --> 01:09:25,280 Speaker 1: How good are they going to be? Are they playoff contenders? 1415 01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 1: What do you see. I think they are playoff contenders. 1416 01:09:28,479 --> 01:09:32,160 Speaker 1: You know, I don't believe in in just winning a 1417 01:09:32,240 --> 01:09:35,040 Speaker 1: certain way in the NFL, and I do think your 1418 01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,080 Speaker 1: defense can lead you, and the Bills defense will lead them. 1419 01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 1: I don't think there's any doubt about that. I'm not 1420 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,479 Speaker 1: sure how much pushback you'd get around here about that. 1421 01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:46,519 Speaker 1: I mean, it's an exceptional defense, a defense that you know. 1422 01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,160 Speaker 1: I did ask McDermott about the secondary in terms of 1423 01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:50,920 Speaker 1: that's going to be a clear advantage for them in 1424 01:09:51,040 --> 01:09:53,760 Speaker 1: some games. Obviously in a lot of games, but has 1425 01:09:53,800 --> 01:09:55,960 Speaker 1: he pushed them to do more because you know how 1426 01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:59,800 Speaker 1: Sean loves defensive backs and all that stuff, and he 1427 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:01,800 Speaker 1: said the one thing would be, you know, get the 1428 01:10:01,840 --> 01:10:04,599 Speaker 1: ball in your hands, you know, turn people over, make plays. 1429 01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:07,120 Speaker 1: And I can see that that is a legitimate goal 1430 01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:10,439 Speaker 1: for this secondary to actually be a playmaking secondary, not 1431 01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,240 Speaker 1: just a really darn good secondary. So I think the 1432 01:10:13,360 --> 01:10:16,040 Speaker 1: defense is going to lead them early if the offense 1433 01:10:16,160 --> 01:10:18,840 Speaker 1: then sort of closes that gap a little bit. Absolutely, 1434 01:10:18,880 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 1: I could see December games for the Buffalo Bills being meaningful, 1435 01:10:22,680 --> 01:10:25,360 Speaker 1: and I think that's a big step forward. Absolutely. You'll 1436 01:10:25,400 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 1: have reports from here coming up. I will I will 1437 01:10:28,479 --> 01:10:32,120 Speaker 1: not Friday, I will have reports from Jets about this game, okay, 1438 01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:34,439 Speaker 1: and then also Sunday. That's how we're doing it. This week. 1439 01:10:34,479 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: We got a lot the hundred year thing tomorrow night 1440 01:10:37,360 --> 01:10:39,719 Speaker 1: is is you know, we got a lot of packers 1441 01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,880 Speaker 1: of the one in the afternoon for the eight. It might, 1442 01:10:43,360 --> 01:10:46,320 Speaker 1: it might tomorrow, it might, Yes, it actually might. This 1443 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:48,840 Speaker 1: is going to be I think, a really cool season 1444 01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:50,800 Speaker 1: for a lot of those I did tell it's gonna 1445 01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:53,240 Speaker 1: be fun. Hundred best plays, hundred best players, one hundred 1446 01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,800 Speaker 1: best coaches. Fun. I don't think it's a bad thing 1447 01:10:57,040 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 1: that we are reminded, whether we're young or not. And 1448 01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 1: I'm not young by any means, but I don't remember 1449 01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:06,559 Speaker 1: all of it. Um reminded of how the NFL has evolved, 1450 01:11:07,040 --> 01:11:09,519 Speaker 1: and be reminded that people didn't always do it the 1451 01:11:09,600 --> 01:11:11,840 Speaker 1: way we do it now in this league, and they 1452 01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:13,880 Speaker 1: did it at a really, really high level with a 1453 01:11:14,160 --> 01:11:16,439 Speaker 1: lot of tough guys, you know, who took pride in 1454 01:11:16,479 --> 01:11:18,720 Speaker 1: their job. Have you ever gone back and watched into 1455 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:21,720 Speaker 1: the old Raiders chiefs rivalries from the seventies, Now it 1456 01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:23,560 Speaker 1: was a bar fight, Oh, I'm sure it was. It 1457 01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:26,400 Speaker 1: was so different but the game was that game essentially 1458 01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:29,160 Speaker 1: the same man of man. The stuff that went on 1459 01:11:29,360 --> 01:11:31,880 Speaker 1: during those games and those plays, which brutal, it was 1460 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:36,040 Speaker 1: really amazing. I'm sure, and I get why people started 1461 01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:38,280 Speaker 1: watching it. It's hard not to watch. Yeah, I've seen 1462 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:40,720 Speaker 1: a few snippets of sort of one hundred countdowns that 1463 01:11:40,760 --> 01:11:43,280 Speaker 1: are going to be on NFL networks. That's gonna be fun. 1464 01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,840 Speaker 1: If you love football, and I have to believe your 1465 01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,760 Speaker 1: audience about ninety nine percent of them do. Uh, It's 1466 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:51,080 Speaker 1: that's gonna be fun to watch. Kim, Thanks for this. 1467 01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:53,960 Speaker 1: Great to have you here, Great to be here. Thank you, guys, safe, 1468 01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: Thank you. Kim Jones, NFL Network reporter, contributor to NFL 1469 01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,880 Speaker 1: Total Access to NFL Game Day Morning Radio hosted wf 1470 01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,000 Speaker 1: band Steve and I coming back with more on one 1471 01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 1: Bill Slide presented by Collata Health on Buffalo Bill's Radio. 1472 01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,519 Speaker 1: Next again to Kim Jones, NFL Network. Kim Jones, she 1473 01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,599 Speaker 1: hadn't been around. I was teasing her about the Rex thing. 1474 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,640 Speaker 1: When Rex was here, she was always here, I get it, 1475 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,439 Speaker 1: but she didn't been around as much in the McDermot era. 1476 01:12:29,560 --> 01:12:31,280 Speaker 1: But that's okay. She's been around the Jets a lot. 1477 01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 1: He hangs around the Giants, covers the Giants and now 1478 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:35,800 Speaker 1: the Bill, So she'll be around the next couple of weeks. 1479 01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:38,559 Speaker 1: Maybe we'll get around again. Great perspective from her right 1480 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,120 Speaker 1: on these two teams. And she knows a lot about 1481 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,680 Speaker 1: the Jets. She watches their practices and obviously covers them 1482 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:46,960 Speaker 1: on a regular basis in New York, and then also 1483 01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 1: the Giants too, So there's two weeks in a row. 1484 01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,160 Speaker 1: Sunday's game, the referee, claimed Martin, second year referee, he's 1485 01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:56,400 Speaker 1: been around the league for about eight years on umpire 1486 01:12:56,479 --> 01:12:59,559 Speaker 1: before then. And the weather in East Rutherford on Sunday 1487 01:12:59,600 --> 01:13:02,479 Speaker 1: afternoon partly cloudy, skuys high seventy eight. The winds are light. 1488 01:13:02,800 --> 01:13:05,120 Speaker 1: Weather shouldn't be an issue. That's good to know. There 1489 01:13:05,160 --> 01:13:08,240 Speaker 1: we go often running man. Yeah, it ain't gonna stay 1490 01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:10,120 Speaker 1: that way forever, but it's nice to start it in 1491 01:13:10,520 --> 01:13:12,639 Speaker 1: September with good weather. It's a good game. The builds 1492 01:13:12,680 --> 01:13:13,880 Speaker 1: on the Jets, and we I don't know from you 1493 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,639 Speaker 1: which newcomer on the Bills or the Jets roster will 1494 01:13:16,680 --> 01:13:18,880 Speaker 1: have the biggest impact in Sunday's game. That is our 1495 01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:22,639 Speaker 1: Twitter poll's let's check that first on Twitter, which newcomer 1496 01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,240 Speaker 1: on the Bills or the Jets will have the biggest 1497 01:13:24,280 --> 01:13:26,640 Speaker 1: impact the Twitter vote. We got eleven hundred votes in 1498 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:29,040 Speaker 1: so far in about an hour and a half. And 1499 01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:31,960 Speaker 1: right now half of you fifty percent say Cole Beasley. 1500 01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:35,200 Speaker 1: We'll have the biggest impact on Sunday's game. Okay, twenty 1501 01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,800 Speaker 1: six percent of you say Levy on Bell. Twenty two 1502 01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,920 Speaker 1: percent say at Oliver, two percent say Quinnin Williams. Give 1503 01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,800 Speaker 1: us your thoughts, give us a call, we'll discuss the 1504 01:13:42,840 --> 01:13:44,960 Speaker 1: phone lines. Open the eight oh three oh five fifty 1505 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:48,360 Speaker 1: or toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two 1506 01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:50,760 Speaker 1: five fifty. You can send in a tweet two and 1507 01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:52,800 Speaker 1: let's read him the tweet sheet brought to you by 1508 01:13:52,880 --> 01:13:56,240 Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. 1509 01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:57,680 Speaker 1: What are you have on the tweet sheet? From get 1510 01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:00,040 Speaker 1: on the program, he says, hopefully it's Mitch Morris and 1511 01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:02,200 Speaker 1: all the other new O line players getting on that. 1512 01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:04,280 Speaker 1: And that makes a lot of sense as well, of course. 1513 01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,479 Speaker 1: But then also from Tiffany, I can see Gays, Adam Gays, 1514 01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,360 Speaker 1: head coach of the Jets. I can see Gays taking 1515 01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:12,839 Speaker 1: the pressure off Sam Darnold by utilizing Levion Bell heavily 1516 01:14:12,960 --> 01:14:16,919 Speaker 1: in the Jets offensive game plan, both running and catching passes. 1517 01:14:17,040 --> 01:14:19,839 Speaker 1: Our defense will have to be mindful of him throughout 1518 01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:23,240 Speaker 1: the game. I like our chances with Tremaine leading our 1519 01:14:23,320 --> 01:14:28,040 Speaker 1: defense keeping him. That means Levion Bell in check. That's 1520 01:14:28,080 --> 01:14:30,560 Speaker 1: gonna tell I think the Bill's defense is gonna be 1521 01:14:30,560 --> 01:14:33,040 Speaker 1: stretched to the limit this game. Yeah, I think the 1522 01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,680 Speaker 1: Jets are a handful. We got into it late in 1523 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,000 Speaker 1: our interview with Kim Jones from NFL Network just a 1524 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,720 Speaker 1: minute ago. You know, I asked her who's gonna be 1525 01:14:41,160 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 1: Sam Darnold's top target? And I think the fact that 1526 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:45,559 Speaker 1: Herndon's not in there, and we've all seen this before 1527 01:14:45,640 --> 01:14:48,519 Speaker 1: where the guy's favorite target is out now he spreads 1528 01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:50,599 Speaker 1: the football around to everybody, and it's hard to get 1529 01:14:50,600 --> 01:14:52,280 Speaker 1: a key on who their best guy is. Quincy and 1530 01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:54,160 Speaker 1: Noon Wall for a lot of Bills fans who may 1531 01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,960 Speaker 1: not be familiar with the kind of player he is. 1532 01:14:57,600 --> 01:15:01,240 Speaker 1: He is a big, physical nass. He received wide receiver. 1533 01:15:01,320 --> 01:15:05,599 Speaker 1: They extended him last year. He's a good player. Of course, 1534 01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 1: they're there. Other one was a Roberts. The other wide 1535 01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,200 Speaker 1: receiver Robertson, Like I've not lost his name just for 1536 01:15:13,240 --> 01:15:15,120 Speaker 1: a minute. He's a good player as well, kind of 1537 01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:16,920 Speaker 1: a little bit on the t Y Hilton kind of 1538 01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:20,479 Speaker 1: body type. Robbie Anderson, That's who it is, Robbie Anderson. 1539 01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,439 Speaker 1: He is a kind of a t Y Hilton type 1540 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:26,160 Speaker 1: of receiver, real shifty, slippery, kind of wide receiver. Those 1541 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,160 Speaker 1: two guys really compliment each other well. And of course 1542 01:15:30,040 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 1: nobody knows what Levion Bell is going to be asked 1543 01:15:33,479 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 1: to do in that offense and what he's gonna look 1544 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,680 Speaker 1: like when he's doing it. That's the big sixty four 1545 01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:41,680 Speaker 1: dollar question. Yeah, and you know they have crowder to 1546 01:15:41,840 --> 01:15:43,880 Speaker 1: the new receiver, right, who shouldn't make a difference, And 1547 01:15:45,080 --> 01:15:48,360 Speaker 1: we're guessing right. Sean McDermott even said it today about 1548 01:15:48,400 --> 01:15:51,719 Speaker 1: the guest factor here, brand new head coach. He basically 1549 01:15:51,840 --> 01:15:54,640 Speaker 1: is the offensive coordinator, brand new defensive coordinator for the 1550 01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:59,120 Speaker 1: New York Jets, And uh, it's it's difficult to kind 1551 01:15:59,160 --> 01:16:01,880 Speaker 1: of guess, you know. McDermott said it earlier in the week. 1552 01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 1: They're looking at Dolphins videos sometimes just to get a 1553 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,280 Speaker 1: sense of what Adam Gays offense will look like. Mc 1554 01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,879 Speaker 1: Dermott talked about it this morning. He said, it's difficult 1555 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,320 Speaker 1: to know what to expect with new head coach Adam 1556 01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:13,000 Speaker 1: Gays in the New York Jets this week. Here's what 1557 01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:16,200 Speaker 1: he said. Yeah, it's really hard. I mean, you know, 1558 01:16:16,439 --> 01:16:18,400 Speaker 1: like I said that, you watched one tape, you watch 1559 01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,960 Speaker 1: another tape. Um, they got a lot of good players 1560 01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,640 Speaker 1: that they brought in, um, you know with Laiveon, and 1561 01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:27,320 Speaker 1: they already had good players. Um, you know with the 1562 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,080 Speaker 1: players that they had there with Adams and Williams and 1563 01:16:30,560 --> 01:16:34,400 Speaker 1: and uh and drafting Quinnon. There so a lot of 1564 01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:38,760 Speaker 1: good players. And so it's it's an important week in 1565 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 1: terms of our preparation and the challenge in front of us. 1566 01:16:42,120 --> 01:16:45,639 Speaker 1: Keep thinking back this week about our conversation with Jamal 1567 01:16:45,760 --> 01:16:48,320 Speaker 1: Adams at the Super Bowl last year. Remember that he 1568 01:16:48,479 --> 01:16:50,960 Speaker 1: was outstanding, he was delightful. I don't know I was. 1569 01:16:51,479 --> 01:16:53,479 Speaker 1: In fact, I would replay that interview on the show. 1570 01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,519 Speaker 1: Maybe he had a lot of fun things to say 1571 01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,639 Speaker 1: at the super Bowl. He's promoting that that Pepsicola product, 1572 01:16:59,160 --> 01:17:01,439 Speaker 1: that robot, the robot yea yeah, And we had to 1573 01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:03,160 Speaker 1: talk to him about that at the super Bowl. But 1574 01:17:03,280 --> 01:17:07,880 Speaker 1: beyond that, I think Jamal Adams. He endeared himself to me. 1575 01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:10,120 Speaker 1: I know he's a great player. He's a big hitter, 1576 01:17:10,200 --> 01:17:12,640 Speaker 1: he's a tough player, and he will likely be a 1577 01:17:12,720 --> 01:17:15,080 Speaker 1: factor in this game on Sunday. Yeah, and we said 1578 01:17:15,120 --> 01:17:18,840 Speaker 1: this about Kim. Kim Jones alluded to this as well. 1579 01:17:18,920 --> 01:17:22,280 Speaker 1: When Gaye took over, there were a couple of veterans 1580 01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,519 Speaker 1: on the team that you know, as a media fans said, well, 1581 01:17:24,520 --> 01:17:26,400 Speaker 1: those guys are going to be moved across, and Adam 1582 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:29,120 Speaker 1: gay said, Nah, these guys are really quality guys. Same 1583 01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:31,160 Speaker 1: thing with Sean McDermott. He came here three years ago 1584 01:17:31,160 --> 01:17:33,240 Speaker 1: and there's still a couple handfless and a handful of 1585 01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,280 Speaker 1: guys left over from that team because of the quality 1586 01:17:35,360 --> 01:17:39,519 Speaker 1: guys they are. There are really good guys and great 1587 01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,720 Speaker 1: players on every team in the NFL, and you got 1588 01:17:41,800 --> 01:17:45,519 Speaker 1: to contend with those. And the Bills know that this 1589 01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,280 Speaker 1: young safety for the Jets can really play and he's 1590 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:50,880 Speaker 1: an outstanding that they get to know these guys in 1591 01:17:50,920 --> 01:17:54,479 Speaker 1: the draft process. Jean McDermott alluded to it in the 1592 01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,679 Speaker 1: sound bite we just said, he they know who Quinnon 1593 01:17:56,680 --> 01:17:59,600 Speaker 1: Williams is. They interviewed him extensively in the run up 1594 01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:01,439 Speaker 1: to this last draft when they got to add Oliver. 1595 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,519 Speaker 1: So there's a lot of knowledge about who these guys are, 1596 01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,800 Speaker 1: in the quality of player they are. The problem is, 1597 01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:11,599 Speaker 1: as Sean McDermott just said, new head coach, using new 1598 01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:16,320 Speaker 1: players in a new team, we've never seen them do. 1599 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,479 Speaker 1: These are all unknown things that they've done. Certainly the 1600 01:18:20,600 --> 01:18:22,040 Speaker 1: Jets can go back and look at the Bills and 1601 01:18:22,160 --> 01:18:25,280 Speaker 1: how they played the Dolphins last year, the Jets last year, 1602 01:18:25,320 --> 01:18:28,760 Speaker 1: and all these players. They can they have a you know, 1603 01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:31,400 Speaker 1: a list of film that they can look at. Nobody 1604 01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,479 Speaker 1: this group has never been on film together, right. I 1605 01:18:35,080 --> 01:18:37,280 Speaker 1: think it makes it fun, maybe even more fun steve 1606 01:18:37,360 --> 01:18:39,600 Speaker 1: the uncertainty about what are they going to do? And 1607 01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:41,240 Speaker 1: by the way, the Jets are saying that about the 1608 01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:43,160 Speaker 1: Bills a little bit too. What do they do? What 1609 01:18:43,200 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 1: are they going to do this year? You know, what 1610 01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,920 Speaker 1: are the Bills gonna do with Cole Beasley and John 1611 01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: Brown and some of the additions they've had to their offense. 1612 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:51,280 Speaker 1: What is that Oliver going to do for them? Um? 1613 01:18:51,680 --> 01:18:53,200 Speaker 1: I think it makes it more fun because it's not 1614 01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:57,880 Speaker 1: the scripted computer print out, you know. I mean they 1615 01:18:57,960 --> 01:19:01,519 Speaker 1: spend hours and hours on it, two weeks A tendencies right, 1616 01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:05,280 Speaker 1: looking over tendencies and third and short from this yard 1617 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:08,040 Speaker 1: line on this hash mark, the Bills or the Jets 1618 01:19:08,080 --> 01:19:10,840 Speaker 1: will run this these five places. They don't have that now, 1619 01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:12,479 Speaker 1: and I think that makes it even a little bit 1620 01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:15,760 Speaker 1: more an I don't know. I mean, they certainly defensively, 1621 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:18,880 Speaker 1: the Bills are almost intact coming back. So you've got 1622 01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:21,120 Speaker 1: to think that the Jets have an idea of what 1623 01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:24,519 Speaker 1: the Bills defense is gonna look like now with Ed Oliver? 1624 01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:27,800 Speaker 1: Is he gonna be transformative? Is he gonna be transformative? 1625 01:19:27,840 --> 01:19:30,000 Speaker 1: And the Bills defense they gotta think, well, I don't know, 1626 01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:32,200 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, he's a great player, but 1627 01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:35,400 Speaker 1: that's just one different guy. Plus listen, by the way, 1628 01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: before you leave An Oliver, this is the point I 1629 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,640 Speaker 1: brought up with Brownie. I have a feeling, just a 1630 01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:42,080 Speaker 1: hunch that Ed Oliver they have a plan for it, 1631 01:19:42,200 --> 01:19:45,360 Speaker 1: which was not exposed at all during preseason games. And 1632 01:19:45,479 --> 01:19:47,160 Speaker 1: I think he is enough. And Brownie said, well, you 1633 01:19:47,200 --> 01:19:50,320 Speaker 1: don't want to take it slow and break him in slowly. No, 1634 01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:53,960 Speaker 1: Let's use that Oliver. Let's use his athletic gifts, his speed, 1635 01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:57,680 Speaker 1: his athleticism, and I'm not saying line him up all 1636 01:19:57,680 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 1: over the field, but use them a little bit. Think 1637 01:20:00,200 --> 01:20:01,800 Speaker 1: they will. I think they will the Sunday just to 1638 01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:04,840 Speaker 1: throw a monkey wrench into the Jets plans. They haven't 1639 01:20:04,840 --> 01:20:07,680 Speaker 1: seen that before, and from the Jets perspective, that may 1640 01:20:07,720 --> 01:20:10,400 Speaker 1: be the only wild card there is though, That's my point. Yeah, 1641 01:20:10,439 --> 01:20:12,720 Speaker 1: And because you think, well, Trent Murphy, we saw him 1642 01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:14,680 Speaker 1: last year, you know, and they don't know. Maybe Trent 1643 01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:17,080 Speaker 1: Murphy's better this year. They've heard some rumblings about on 1644 01:20:17,240 --> 01:20:19,200 Speaker 1: us saying that Trent Murphy looks like a different guy 1645 01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:22,080 Speaker 1: this year because he's two years removed from a catastrophic 1646 01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:25,280 Speaker 1: knee injury. Maybe he will be different. Maybe Shack Lawson, 1647 01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:27,800 Speaker 1: I think Shack Lawson. Yeah, you gotta think for the Jets, 1648 01:20:27,840 --> 01:20:29,960 Speaker 1: they think he's a known commodity. We played Shack laws 1649 01:20:30,040 --> 01:20:33,080 Speaker 1: in a bunch, you know, Starlotu Lele. We saw him 1650 01:20:33,120 --> 01:20:36,240 Speaker 1: twice last year. So and Tremaine Edmonds. He's a little 1651 01:20:36,280 --> 01:20:38,639 Speaker 1: better than you know, they should have. They should feel 1652 01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:40,560 Speaker 1: really good about their ability to get a handle on 1653 01:20:40,600 --> 01:20:43,240 Speaker 1: the Bills defense. Now they still got to play him, 1654 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:45,360 Speaker 1: and the Bill's defense is really good. They got good 1655 01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:50,880 Speaker 1: guys everywhere, solid proven guys. That is what they're up 1656 01:20:50,880 --> 01:20:53,320 Speaker 1: against in the Jets, but at least as good as 1657 01:20:53,360 --> 01:20:56,360 Speaker 1: the Bills defense was a year ago. It's a known commodity. 1658 01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:59,600 Speaker 1: There's none of that with the Jets. From the Bill's perspective, 1659 01:21:00,400 --> 01:21:02,400 Speaker 1: what do you think which newcomer on either the Bills 1660 01:21:02,479 --> 01:21:04,879 Speaker 1: or the Jets will have the biggest impact on Sunday's 1661 01:21:04,880 --> 01:21:07,240 Speaker 1: Getting back to the tweet sheet from Jeremiah. This tweet, 1662 01:21:07,479 --> 01:21:09,920 Speaker 1: he says at Oliver not only because I'm sure he's 1663 01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:11,400 Speaker 1: chomming at the bit to show what he can do, 1664 01:21:12,040 --> 01:21:15,200 Speaker 1: especially against the Decision, a division rival, but also because 1665 01:21:15,240 --> 01:21:17,000 Speaker 1: I think the Jets will game plan to try to 1666 01:21:17,040 --> 01:21:22,760 Speaker 1: take Cole Beasley away. Yeah. Yeah, interesting. Let's go to 1667 01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,519 Speaker 1: Nick on the tweet sheet. Beasley is the safety valve 1668 01:21:25,560 --> 01:21:28,760 Speaker 1: and surehanded, quick wide receiver Josh Allen did not have 1669 01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:31,320 Speaker 1: in his first season. Also, the old line has been 1670 01:21:31,439 --> 01:21:33,400 Speaker 1: upgraded and should be able to provide a pocket of 1671 01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:35,800 Speaker 1: time for Allen to find him. I believe Beasley will 1672 01:21:35,880 --> 01:21:38,000 Speaker 1: lead the team in receptions and Allen will take the 1673 01:21:38,080 --> 01:21:40,400 Speaker 1: next step with him. Yeah, and I get what Nick's saying. 1674 01:21:40,439 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 1: He says the offensive line's gonna give Josh had a 1675 01:21:42,360 --> 01:21:43,840 Speaker 1: little more time than he had a year ago. But 1676 01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:46,200 Speaker 1: if you if you're blocking five guys in the Jets 1677 01:21:46,200 --> 01:21:48,200 Speaker 1: since six, there is not going to be any time. 1678 01:21:48,240 --> 01:21:50,519 Speaker 1: If you're blocking six guys and the Jets sin seven, 1679 01:21:50,720 --> 01:21:52,200 Speaker 1: there's not going to be any time to look for 1680 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,880 Speaker 1: a guy. And that's what Greg Williams does. If if 1681 01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:58,120 Speaker 1: you're blocking five guys and Greg Williams gives you five 1682 01:21:58,240 --> 01:22:01,800 Speaker 1: rushers that are different than the ones you anticipated, somebody 1683 01:22:01,880 --> 01:22:04,439 Speaker 1: may come free. That's the kind of issues that Greg 1684 01:22:04,560 --> 01:22:07,080 Speaker 1: Williams and his defensive front kind of present to you. 1685 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,400 Speaker 1: Gotta be ready for that. There's gonna be times when 1686 01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:11,080 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's got to get rid of it, and he's 1687 01:22:11,080 --> 01:22:13,120 Speaker 1: got to get rid of it now, and that maybe 1688 01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:18,120 Speaker 1: the plan that the Jets bringing to bear. Whatever happens 1689 01:22:18,280 --> 01:22:20,439 Speaker 1: with the passing game of the Buffalo Bills, Josh Allen 1690 01:22:20,520 --> 01:22:23,040 Speaker 1: has got to throw it on time, because the Jets 1691 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,080 Speaker 1: are going to have a free runner coming right at it. Well, 1692 01:22:25,080 --> 01:22:27,360 Speaker 1: this is the point. I asked Kim Jones about it, 1693 01:22:27,360 --> 01:22:29,960 Speaker 1: and I don't have the answer, but I think it's 1694 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,800 Speaker 1: worth considering. What does Greg Williams do yes, he's got 1695 01:22:32,920 --> 01:22:36,519 Speaker 1: cornerback issues, you know, scrambling to find corners. Tremaine Johnson 1696 01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:38,760 Speaker 1: apparently is healthy and ready to go, although he's been 1697 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:40,720 Speaker 1: very limited to the last couple of weeks with a 1698 01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,880 Speaker 1: hamstring and they have Darryl Roberts lists or other starter. 1699 01:22:44,080 --> 01:22:46,400 Speaker 1: Now we know a little bit about Greg Williams. So 1700 01:22:46,560 --> 01:22:49,400 Speaker 1: does he say I can't take the chances I'm used 1701 01:22:49,400 --> 01:22:52,679 Speaker 1: to taking sending pressure because I'm not sure my corners 1702 01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:54,880 Speaker 1: who you know, if I'm going to send that much pressure, 1703 01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:56,320 Speaker 1: these guys got to play and they got to play 1704 01:22:56,400 --> 01:23:00,760 Speaker 1: tight coverage. Or does Greg Williams always ready to make 1705 01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,559 Speaker 1: a splash say here we go. I don't care. Yeah, 1706 01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:05,760 Speaker 1: I got new corners. I don't I don't not my fault. Yeah, 1707 01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,360 Speaker 1: I don't. Look the corners are bad. I'm still sending pressure. 1708 01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:10,479 Speaker 1: You know. With Greg Williams, he might go the ladder 1709 01:23:10,560 --> 01:23:12,479 Speaker 1: rather than the former, right, Yeah, or he may he 1710 01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:15,880 Speaker 1: may think is genius about right. They can drop they 1711 01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:19,240 Speaker 1: can look like they're bringing everybody and drop eight and 1712 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,960 Speaker 1: then cover the guys up. And Josh Allen's got to say, oh, 1713 01:23:22,200 --> 01:23:23,880 Speaker 1: instead of having to get rid of the ball quick, 1714 01:23:23,920 --> 01:23:25,599 Speaker 1: I've got to hang on to it, because it's gonna 1715 01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:27,000 Speaker 1: take a little bit for these guys to find the 1716 01:23:27,040 --> 01:23:30,200 Speaker 1: gaps in an eight man coverage scheme. I've got to 1717 01:23:30,360 --> 01:23:32,840 Speaker 1: trust my offensive And maybe he'll say, Josh, let's see, 1718 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,479 Speaker 1: let's see you be an NFL quarterback and stand back 1719 01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:37,640 Speaker 1: there in the pocket and hang onto this ball with 1720 01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,799 Speaker 1: eight guys in coverage and throw into a tight window. 1721 01:23:40,040 --> 01:23:43,280 Speaker 1: You know that. You know that's got his problems too. Yes, right, 1722 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:45,920 Speaker 1: that's something that Josh Allen's got to get ready for. 1723 01:23:46,479 --> 01:23:48,600 Speaker 1: So all of that is on the table, and you 1724 01:23:48,680 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 1: can bet you're gonna see all of it at some point. 1725 01:23:51,160 --> 01:23:55,120 Speaker 1: I just kind of channeling Greg Williams my memories to him. Here. 1726 01:23:55,479 --> 01:23:57,959 Speaker 1: The one thing I'm certain though, he will be confident 1727 01:23:58,080 --> 01:24:00,760 Speaker 1: in whatever plan he comes up with for Sunday's game, 1728 01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:03,360 Speaker 1: and he will sell that confidence to his players and 1729 01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:05,479 Speaker 1: they will they will buy into it. They do. That's 1730 01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,160 Speaker 1: how great is That's what he does, right, He has 1731 01:24:08,200 --> 01:24:10,400 Speaker 1: a plan. He tells you how great his plan is, 1732 01:24:10,439 --> 01:24:12,719 Speaker 1: how much thought he's given it, how he's thought about 1733 01:24:12,760 --> 01:24:15,360 Speaker 1: this more than anybody else ever ever thought him thinking 1734 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:17,120 Speaker 1: about this, this is what we're gonna do, and this 1735 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,880 Speaker 1: why it's gonna work, I am certain, and he will 1736 01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:21,200 Speaker 1: sell that to his players. And that's why Greg Williams 1737 01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:22,760 Speaker 1: has a job all these twenty years in the NF. 1738 01:24:22,920 --> 01:24:25,720 Speaker 1: That's right, and it works it, let's face it. It 1739 01:24:25,880 --> 01:24:27,400 Speaker 1: works when you get up in front of guys, you 1740 01:24:27,439 --> 01:24:30,200 Speaker 1: show him on x's nose. And here's why it works. 1741 01:24:30,240 --> 01:24:33,439 Speaker 1: And here's here's why, good or bad, whether you like 1742 01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:36,000 Speaker 1: him or not. He'll look at the bill's offense and 1743 01:24:36,120 --> 01:24:38,560 Speaker 1: he'll circle guy. He'll say, listen, this guy, right, we 1744 01:24:38,680 --> 01:24:41,240 Speaker 1: got this guy can't hold up. This guy can't hold up. 1745 01:24:41,240 --> 01:24:43,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna pressure this guy and this guy all game. 1746 01:24:43,479 --> 01:24:46,840 Speaker 1: This guy, I could cover him, you know that kind 1747 01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:49,840 Speaker 1: of he'll he'll use that kind of language to his players. 1748 01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:51,920 Speaker 1: I say, so, oh, the language will be bad. Right, 1749 01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:54,720 Speaker 1: He'll say, listen, I could cover this guy. And he'll say, 1750 01:24:56,080 --> 01:24:58,479 Speaker 1: Johnny six pack, here, you're gonna cover him this because 1751 01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,040 Speaker 1: I could cover him. If you can't over him. We 1752 01:25:01,120 --> 01:25:02,880 Speaker 1: got a problem. We got a lunch bucket. And as 1753 01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:05,800 Speaker 1: I think you can do it, we're giving you that job. 1754 01:25:05,880 --> 01:25:07,600 Speaker 1: That's your job. And the kid will buy in, you know, 1755 01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:09,519 Speaker 1: guys will buy and say, yeah, I'll do that. I 1756 01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:11,840 Speaker 1: got that guy. So that's kind of the language he'll 1757 01:25:11,960 --> 01:25:14,120 Speaker 1: use to get his guys motivated. He'll sell them on 1758 01:25:14,240 --> 01:25:20,400 Speaker 1: his plan and they'll have the entire spectrum of pass 1759 01:25:20,520 --> 01:25:24,639 Speaker 1: rushing and coverage defenses to play, and he'll he'll use 1760 01:25:24,680 --> 01:25:26,680 Speaker 1: all of them. He'll use all of them. That was 1761 01:25:26,680 --> 01:25:29,360 Speaker 1: a big training camp thing of Gregg's, you know, insulting 1762 01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,960 Speaker 1: players on the field. I got a lunch pail and 1763 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:33,640 Speaker 1: a bus ticket for you here, get out of here, 1764 01:25:33,640 --> 01:25:35,360 Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, you would say that the players get 1765 01:25:35,400 --> 01:25:36,880 Speaker 1: off in the middle of practice. Yeah, get off the 1766 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:38,880 Speaker 1: field and wasting my time. That kind of stuff. I mean, 1767 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 1: it's it's pretty motivating, I forgot, I mean in its 1768 01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:45,479 Speaker 1: own weird way. And guys like it. Some of them 1769 01:25:45,640 --> 01:25:48,280 Speaker 1: respond to it like they like, oh yeah, watch this coach, 1770 01:25:48,360 --> 01:25:49,920 Speaker 1: you know, and they kind of rise up to it. Ye, 1771 01:25:50,600 --> 01:25:54,679 Speaker 1: other guys not so much. Practice continues for the Buffalo Bills. 1772 01:25:54,760 --> 01:25:57,759 Speaker 1: After practice, we'll have Taren Johnson, Bill's nickelback in studio 1773 01:25:57,840 --> 01:26:00,680 Speaker 1: with us, Josh Allen, Tremaine Edmonds. We'll hear from them 1774 01:26:00,720 --> 01:26:03,200 Speaker 1: at the podium.

Cowboys a six 1796 01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:15,160 Speaker 1: year contract extension ninety million dollars for Ezekiel Elliott, fifty 1797 01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,919 Speaker 1: million guaranteed that surpasses Todd Gurley's forty five million guarantee. 1798 01:27:20,080 --> 01:27:22,439 Speaker 1: Zeke Elliott twenty four years old. He was set to 1799 01:27:22,479 --> 01:27:24,599 Speaker 1: make three point eight million dollars this year. He got 1800 01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:28,519 Speaker 1: a big race. His total compensation through twenty twenty six 1801 01:27:28,560 --> 01:27:30,479 Speaker 1: will be more than one hundred million, making him the 1802 01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:33,439 Speaker 1: highest paid running back in NFL history. Steve, good for him. 1803 01:27:33,479 --> 01:27:35,760 Speaker 1: These are fantasy numbers. He's never going to see this money. 1804 01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:38,719 Speaker 1: Did you have the stat A couple of commercial breaks 1805 01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,440 Speaker 1: ago about what do you have two hundred eighty averages? 1806 01:27:41,439 --> 01:27:45,400 Speaker 1: Two hundred eighty touches per season? Yeah, he's got He's 1807 01:27:45,439 --> 01:27:47,720 Speaker 1: got over eight hundred and fifty touches. It's a career. Yeah, 1808 01:27:47,720 --> 01:27:50,360 Speaker 1: we did the math. It's almost three hundred three hundred 1809 01:27:50,360 --> 01:27:52,880 Speaker 1: touches a year. You can't do that for five six, 1810 01:27:53,200 --> 01:27:56,040 Speaker 1: let alone none anymore years. Right that. What they did 1811 01:27:56,400 --> 01:28:00,360 Speaker 1: was guarantee the next two years of his contract, which 1812 01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:02,240 Speaker 1: is lever twelve, and gave him a signing bonus that 1813 01:28:02,400 --> 01:28:04,360 Speaker 1: is pro rated over the life of the contract. So 1814 01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:09,120 Speaker 1: he gets some guaranteed money, no question. But you know 1815 01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 1: about half of one hundred and three million maximum is guaranteed, 1816 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,519 Speaker 1: So he's getting fifty million bucks guaranteed. It's one hundred 1817 01:28:15,560 --> 01:28:17,519 Speaker 1: million in total value. If he sees all of it, 1818 01:28:17,600 --> 01:28:20,560 Speaker 1: that's the richest running back contract in league history. So 1819 01:28:20,800 --> 01:28:23,799 Speaker 1: if he sees it all, yeah, he's he got exactly 1820 01:28:23,880 --> 01:28:25,400 Speaker 1: what he wanted. He got it at the time the 1821 01:28:25,560 --> 01:28:28,960 Speaker 1: Cowboys wanted to give it to him, and I'm with you, 1822 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,639 Speaker 1: he probably won't see all of that money, mostly money, 1823 01:28:32,640 --> 01:28:36,800 Speaker 1: I don't think. But that puts him ten years in 1824 01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:41,960 Speaker 1: a Cowboys uniform if he keeps up the production he's on. Absolutely, 1825 01:28:42,000 --> 01:28:45,600 Speaker 1: he's a first ballot rubber stamp Hall of Famer. But 1826 01:28:46,439 --> 01:28:48,599 Speaker 1: he's playing running back on a team that's given him 1827 01:28:48,600 --> 01:28:50,679 Speaker 1: the ball almost three hundred times a year. And folks, 1828 01:28:50,760 --> 01:28:53,040 Speaker 1: let me just tell you something. You're talking about three 1829 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:55,160 Speaker 1: hundred If he gets a ball two hundred and fifty 1830 01:28:55,200 --> 01:28:58,759 Speaker 1: times a year, you're talking about two hundred and twenty 1831 01:28:58,840 --> 01:29:04,479 Speaker 1: five car rex. Yeah, over four months every year. And 1832 01:29:04,640 --> 01:29:09,879 Speaker 1: I as no joke. That is a brutal, vicious, nasty 1833 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:11,479 Speaker 1: way to make a living. Yep. I mean it's a 1834 01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,720 Speaker 1: lot of money and he's getting paid well for it, 1835 01:29:13,920 --> 01:29:16,400 Speaker 1: so I mean you can, yeah, that's it. But I 1836 01:29:16,439 --> 01:29:19,160 Speaker 1: don't know how he holds up to all that. That's 1837 01:29:19,200 --> 01:29:22,160 Speaker 1: a lot of touches. Yep, a lot of touches. Contract 1838 01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:24,880 Speaker 1: extension for Jared Goff in the RAMS, I guess I 1839 01:29:24,960 --> 01:29:27,519 Speaker 1: didn't realize he was still on his rookie deal. But 1840 01:29:27,640 --> 01:29:30,360 Speaker 1: he gets a four year contract extension stays through twenty 1841 01:29:30,439 --> 01:29:33,320 Speaker 1: twenty four. The extension, worth one hundred thirty four million 1842 01:29:33,400 --> 01:29:36,759 Speaker 1: one hundred ten million, guaranteed better numbers than the Eagles 1843 01:29:36,840 --> 01:29:39,240 Speaker 1: deal for Carson Wentz a couple of months ago. Wentz 1844 01:29:39,400 --> 01:29:42,639 Speaker 1: was selected second overall behind Jared Goff in the twenty 1845 01:29:42,720 --> 01:29:45,960 Speaker 1: sixteen draft. So Jared Goff, going into the fourth season 1846 01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:48,800 Speaker 1: of his five year deal, scheduled to earned four point 1847 01:29:48,880 --> 01:29:51,920 Speaker 1: three million this season and twenty three million next season. 1848 01:29:53,439 --> 01:29:56,959 Speaker 1: Is he worth it? He benefits from a great, offensive 1849 01:29:57,000 --> 01:30:01,080 Speaker 1: minded coach and plenty of offensive talent around him. He's good? 1850 01:30:01,880 --> 01:30:04,920 Speaker 1: Is he great? I don't know. I'm not signing out 1851 01:30:04,960 --> 01:30:07,200 Speaker 1: a great just yet. Here's the thing I think they 1852 01:30:07,280 --> 01:30:10,800 Speaker 1: did this got it done. Um of course, what the 1853 01:30:10,920 --> 01:30:14,439 Speaker 1: Wentz deal was done, the Russell Wilson deal was done. 1854 01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:16,719 Speaker 1: They got all these you know, quarterbacks that are getting 1855 01:30:16,760 --> 01:30:18,920 Speaker 1: deal after deal. So you want to for me, You 1856 01:30:18,960 --> 01:30:20,400 Speaker 1: want to get it done as quickly as you can. 1857 01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:22,560 Speaker 1: Lin'm like you. I thought, Oh, he is still on 1858 01:30:22,640 --> 01:30:25,120 Speaker 1: his rookie deal. Um, it's the fourth year of his 1859 01:30:25,200 --> 01:30:27,320 Speaker 1: rookie deal coming up, right, Yeah, so you gotta make 1860 01:30:27,320 --> 01:30:31,960 Speaker 1: a deal. You gotta get it done. To me, this 1861 01:30:32,560 --> 01:30:36,680 Speaker 1: call is made by Sean McVeagh. If he says he's 1862 01:30:36,720 --> 01:30:40,240 Speaker 1: worth it, pay him the money. If he's not, don't. 1863 01:30:41,040 --> 01:30:43,439 Speaker 1: And they paid him. So I think I think Sean 1864 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:47,400 Speaker 1: McVay thinks he can win more super Bowls with this guy, 1865 01:30:47,520 --> 01:30:50,400 Speaker 1: win to a Super Bowl with Jared Goff. I think 1866 01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,160 Speaker 1: he thinks they can get back to it. I think 1867 01:30:52,200 --> 01:30:55,280 Speaker 1: he's the guy he wants taking snaps. And I think 1868 01:30:55,320 --> 01:30:56,800 Speaker 1: this call is made by Adam Case. And I think 1869 01:30:56,920 --> 01:31:00,000 Speaker 1: Stan Cronky and the and the guys in LA just said, okay, 1870 01:31:00,160 --> 01:31:02,160 Speaker 1: we'll get him to you. Right. They have no choice, right, 1871 01:31:02,280 --> 01:31:03,680 Speaker 1: I mean, they got to try to keep this thing 1872 01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,240 Speaker 1: going as long as they can. But the dynamic will 1873 01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:09,120 Speaker 1: change once this money kicks in. All of a sudden, 1874 01:31:09,160 --> 01:31:10,880 Speaker 1: you don't have a quarterback on his rookie deal, and 1875 01:31:10,920 --> 01:31:13,680 Speaker 1: you can surround him with higher paid players Aaron Donald, etc. 1876 01:31:14,400 --> 01:31:16,040 Speaker 1: You know what I mean, it'll change for them now 1877 01:31:16,120 --> 01:31:17,960 Speaker 1: that he's got money coming in and it looks like 1878 01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:20,280 Speaker 1: it most of it kicks in next year, right And 1879 01:31:20,439 --> 01:31:22,600 Speaker 1: so this is a deal that the Rent and I 1880 01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:25,880 Speaker 1: like the Rams getting it done because the Cowboys are 1881 01:31:25,920 --> 01:31:29,439 Speaker 1: sitting there looking at Dak Prescott and Dak Prescott. Dak 1882 01:31:29,479 --> 01:31:35,240 Speaker 1: Prescott just this one ten million guaranteed. That's way over 1883 01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:40,120 Speaker 1: twice what Zeke Elliott just got guaranteed. And it's only 1884 01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:42,599 Speaker 1: it's a four year deal, not an eight year deal. 1885 01:31:43,240 --> 01:31:46,760 Speaker 1: I mean this is big money. Yeah, big money. So 1886 01:31:47,120 --> 01:31:49,719 Speaker 1: this is tying up a quarterback for six more years 1887 01:31:50,080 --> 01:31:51,840 Speaker 1: because he or five more years because he got one 1888 01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:53,960 Speaker 1: more year on this deal. Then he jumps into this 1889 01:31:54,040 --> 01:31:55,680 Speaker 1: other deal, so he's you know, they get him for 1890 01:31:55,720 --> 01:31:58,880 Speaker 1: five more years. Zeke Elliot's gonna be a his deal 1891 01:31:58,960 --> 01:32:01,479 Speaker 1: doesn't kick in for another two years. He's getting some 1892 01:32:01,520 --> 01:32:03,800 Speaker 1: guaranteed money now in a bonus. But I mean, this 1893 01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,200 Speaker 1: is the difference between a quarterback and running back right here. 1894 01:32:06,280 --> 01:32:09,639 Speaker 1: One hundred and ten million bucks guaranteed and he only 1895 01:32:09,680 --> 01:32:12,320 Speaker 1: has to He's only got four extra years on the deal. 1896 01:32:12,760 --> 01:32:15,880 Speaker 1: This it's a huge difference in the Jared Goff deal 1897 01:32:16,280 --> 01:32:20,040 Speaker 1: than the Zeke Elliott deal. Now, Zak Prescott, Dak Prescott 1898 01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:23,720 Speaker 1: is sitting in Dallas going yeah, me too, Yeah right, ye, 1899 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,760 Speaker 1: me too, and Melvin Gordon still waiting in Sandy or 1900 01:32:27,880 --> 01:32:29,920 Speaker 1: Los Angeles for the Chargers to give him a deal. 1901 01:32:31,120 --> 01:32:33,840 Speaker 1: And there was a report of a trade offer from 1902 01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:36,880 Speaker 1: Philadelphia that went to the Chargers, which they want a 1903 01:32:36,960 --> 01:32:38,840 Speaker 1: first They didn't get a trade offer of a first 1904 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:41,839 Speaker 1: I think I'm not sure whose report it was. Albert 1905 01:32:41,880 --> 01:32:44,560 Speaker 1: Breer reported it was not a first round pick, but 1906 01:32:44,600 --> 01:32:46,800 Speaker 1: a couple of draft picks and a player to the 1907 01:32:47,000 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 1: Chargers from Melvin Gordon. Jordan Howard was offered Jordan Howard 1908 01:32:51,080 --> 01:32:54,439 Speaker 1: and a mid round draft pick for Melvin Gordon. Not 1909 01:32:54,680 --> 01:32:57,240 Speaker 1: enough to say the Chargers, Yeah, the Chargers won a 1910 01:32:57,280 --> 01:32:59,680 Speaker 1: first rounder. And I'll tell you what. Tom Telesco is 1911 01:32:59,680 --> 01:33:02,920 Speaker 1: out there and he's I can just see him. I 1912 01:33:03,040 --> 01:33:05,439 Speaker 1: know him. He's a he's a Buffalo guy. I know him. 1913 01:33:05,439 --> 01:33:08,760 Speaker 1: He's sitting there going I'm not gonna do it, you know. 1914 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:12,000 Speaker 1: Then that's it. That's it. Yeah, I'm not going to 1915 01:33:12,080 --> 01:33:15,080 Speaker 1: do it. So we'll see where the Melvin Gordon thing 1916 01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,960 Speaker 1: ends up. I think it's headed towards the Leveon Bell solution. 1917 01:33:18,160 --> 01:33:20,000 Speaker 1: You know, they're gonna lose him. He's gonna go away, 1918 01:33:20,720 --> 01:33:25,160 Speaker 1: He's gonna be sitting there all year. These running backs. 1919 01:33:25,800 --> 01:33:30,880 Speaker 1: The difference in a truly great, transcendent, transcendental running back 1920 01:33:32,439 --> 01:33:36,240 Speaker 1: and the second tier guy is not great enough to 1921 01:33:36,360 --> 01:33:39,880 Speaker 1: wrap up that much cap space in him. And certainly 1922 01:33:40,040 --> 01:33:42,960 Speaker 1: you got to do it early in their career while 1923 01:33:43,000 --> 01:33:45,560 Speaker 1: there's you know what I mean. Yeah, because if you 1924 01:33:45,640 --> 01:33:47,920 Speaker 1: wait until they're LaShaun McCoy's not gonna sign a deal 1925 01:33:48,000 --> 01:33:49,640 Speaker 1: like that, Frank Gore's not signing a deal like that, 1926 01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,840 Speaker 1: and and Frank's going to the Hall of Fame, they 1927 01:33:52,920 --> 01:33:56,080 Speaker 1: rack up mileage in the value plummets. That's what happens 1928 01:33:56,120 --> 01:33:57,760 Speaker 1: with the back. Sorry, we gotta break here. We're gonna 1929 01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:00,680 Speaker 1: talk to Tarn Johnson and the all hour of the show, 1930 01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:03,360 Speaker 1: we'll hear from johsh Allen maybe others.

They said Montgomery out slot receivers 1972 01:36:20,600 --> 01:36:23,519 Speaker 1: left side, Rodgers takes Paul comes out as he's backed 1973 01:36:23,520 --> 01:36:25,599 Speaker 1: and passing. The Bills may have recovered at the green 1974 01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:28,200 Speaker 1: Bay forty eighth big pile up there. The ball knocked 1975 01:36:28,240 --> 01:36:30,880 Speaker 1: loose by Tarron Johnson, and then the big guys were 1976 01:36:30,920 --> 01:36:34,360 Speaker 1: down and they're trying to cover up. Well, that was 1977 01:36:34,400 --> 01:36:36,799 Speaker 1: a big play in a forgettable game for the Bills 1978 01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:38,920 Speaker 1: that lost at green Bay early on last season, but 1979 01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:40,800 Speaker 1: a big play for our next guess. He joins us 1980 01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,759 Speaker 1: now tarn Johnson in the second year Bill's corner. Nicol 1981 01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:46,360 Speaker 1: Corner is ensuited with US high Terran, thanks you coming by. 1982 01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,920 Speaker 1: We appreciate it. I'm happy to be here. Nicole corners 1983 01:36:48,960 --> 01:36:50,800 Speaker 1: funny and doing the play by play. I did my 1984 01:36:51,160 --> 01:36:53,439 Speaker 1: chart for the game the other day and now I 1985 01:36:53,680 --> 01:36:56,519 Speaker 1: this year, first time ever, Nickel corner is a separate 1986 01:36:56,560 --> 01:36:59,559 Speaker 1: category on my board, but it is it's a starting spot, 1987 01:36:59,600 --> 01:37:03,559 Speaker 1: really that it is. I mean, I'm just just out 1988 01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,479 Speaker 1: there with two other great guys on the outsides. And 1989 01:37:06,800 --> 01:37:08,840 Speaker 1: I mean over the years, Nickel has become a bigger 1990 01:37:08,880 --> 01:37:11,360 Speaker 1: and bigger position just based off of how how much 1991 01:37:11,400 --> 01:37:13,719 Speaker 1: the offenses want to pass the ball. I've seen numbers 1992 01:37:13,920 --> 01:37:16,559 Speaker 1: somewhere the maybe teams, maybe the Bills, played like sixty 1993 01:37:16,600 --> 01:37:20,040 Speaker 1: five seventy percent of snaps in nickel defense these days. Right, Yeah, 1994 01:37:20,200 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 1: I mean I'm out there, I mean most of the time, 1995 01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:25,400 Speaker 1: so I mean I hate coming off the field, but 1996 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:28,519 Speaker 1: I mean that's just what it is. Nickel corner. I mean, 1997 01:37:28,600 --> 01:37:31,640 Speaker 1: you have to be really comfortable playing a guy in 1998 01:37:31,680 --> 01:37:33,640 Speaker 1: the slot and with the two way go is that 1999 01:37:33,840 --> 01:37:36,200 Speaker 1: is that the biggest thing they tell you about what 2000 01:37:36,320 --> 01:37:38,840 Speaker 1: the difference is for a nickel corner rather than outside corner. 2001 01:37:38,880 --> 01:37:40,719 Speaker 1: You got a guy that's you can you know, cross 2002 01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:44,040 Speaker 1: the field more easily and go outside more easily. Yeah, 2003 01:37:44,120 --> 01:37:47,120 Speaker 1: I feel like with nickel corner, it's basically more just 2004 01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:50,280 Speaker 1: playing to your help. Your help is kind of is 2005 01:37:50,320 --> 01:37:52,840 Speaker 1: closer than it is. If you're a corner, your help 2006 01:37:52,960 --> 01:37:55,000 Speaker 1: is the sideline, you know what I'm saying. But if 2007 01:37:55,080 --> 01:37:58,120 Speaker 1: in the nickel in the slot, your help is the linebackers. Yeah, 2008 01:37:58,200 --> 01:38:01,600 Speaker 1: exactly exactly. So that's just something that's that helps me 2009 01:38:01,680 --> 01:38:05,280 Speaker 1: out playing in that position. Karen last year you miss 2010 01:38:05,360 --> 01:38:07,479 Speaker 1: what the last four games with the shoulder, and you 2011 01:38:07,640 --> 01:38:09,720 Speaker 1: kind of battle through shoulder stuff throughout most of the 2012 01:38:09,760 --> 01:38:12,360 Speaker 1: year last year, right, Yeah, So what ended up happening 2013 01:38:12,400 --> 01:38:15,439 Speaker 1: is I tore my labram the first game of the 2014 01:38:15,520 --> 01:38:20,160 Speaker 1: first seasons first, no, not a preseason, regular season, Yeah, 2015 01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,120 Speaker 1: and I ended up missing the rest of that game 2016 01:38:24,160 --> 01:38:25,439 Speaker 1: in the second game, and then I ended up come 2017 01:38:25,479 --> 01:38:27,719 Speaker 1: back against the Vikings and then you kind of gutted 2018 01:38:27,760 --> 01:38:29,680 Speaker 1: it out right until you got to the final month 2019 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:32,280 Speaker 1: of the season. Was that difficult to play like that? Uh? Yeah, 2020 01:38:32,520 --> 01:38:34,120 Speaker 1: But one thing I wanted to make sure. I wanted 2021 01:38:34,160 --> 01:38:36,280 Speaker 1: to leave my mark. That's something I wanted to do. 2022 01:38:36,479 --> 01:38:38,840 Speaker 1: And I wanted to help our team win as much 2023 01:38:38,880 --> 01:38:42,560 Speaker 1: as we could last year, and that that's mainly what 2024 01:38:42,680 --> 01:38:45,759 Speaker 1: my thought process was last year. Did you find yourself 2025 01:38:45,920 --> 01:38:49,400 Speaker 1: kind of playing one handed at times? Its first tackling sometimes, 2026 01:38:49,560 --> 01:38:52,560 Speaker 1: so sometimes when I would hit, my whole armor just 2027 01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:55,080 Speaker 1: kind of go dead like and I it would just 2028 01:38:55,200 --> 01:38:57,920 Speaker 1: hurt pretty bad. But I mean a lot of times 2029 01:38:57,960 --> 01:38:59,600 Speaker 1: the pain went away. It went in and out a 2030 01:38:59,640 --> 01:39:03,479 Speaker 1: lot of the time, but it mainly happened when and 2031 01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:06,200 Speaker 1: abrupt moved on my right arm or something like that 2032 01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:08,479 Speaker 1: or if I hit it like right on a perfect spot. 2033 01:39:08,880 --> 01:39:13,120 Speaker 1: You had that funky shoulder brace that you wore. No 2034 01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:15,680 Speaker 1: brace this year, Nah, nah, I am. I mean I'm 2035 01:39:15,720 --> 01:39:18,560 Speaker 1: wearing extra pads underneath my shoulder pads. But other than that, 2036 01:39:18,680 --> 01:39:21,559 Speaker 1: I'm not wearing a brace. But you miss preseason time 2037 01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:23,880 Speaker 1: too with the same injury or the same sort of 2038 01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,120 Speaker 1: I had a little twinge in my in my growing 2039 01:39:27,760 --> 01:39:32,120 Speaker 1: and they just kind of kept me out. No, so 2040 01:39:32,280 --> 01:39:35,320 Speaker 1: that was all last year? Yeah, okay, you came back 2041 01:39:35,400 --> 01:39:38,200 Speaker 1: or I'm sure determined to be healthy and then wonder 2042 01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:40,240 Speaker 1: what you did in the off season to kind of 2043 01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:42,560 Speaker 1: maintain you know, that bulk up up top that you 2044 01:39:42,680 --> 01:39:45,639 Speaker 1: need in order to stay healthy. Um, I was here. 2045 01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:48,560 Speaker 1: I was here the whole off season just trying to 2046 01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:52,240 Speaker 1: get back right, Uh, just trying to make sure I'm 2047 01:39:52,280 --> 01:39:55,479 Speaker 1: ready for this season. And I'm ready. Now, what is 2048 01:39:55,560 --> 01:39:57,880 Speaker 1: the vibe on the defensive side of all? We talk 2049 01:39:57,880 --> 01:40:00,439 Speaker 1: a lot about about. You know, you're back as a starter. 2050 01:40:00,520 --> 01:40:02,920 Speaker 1: We're back the only guy that's really switched out as 2051 01:40:03,360 --> 01:40:06,960 Speaker 1: Ed Oliver. Yeah, what's it gonna take for this team 2052 01:40:07,000 --> 01:40:08,800 Speaker 1: to take a step forward? You were number two in 2053 01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:11,200 Speaker 1: the defense in the league, overall, in the yards given up? 2054 01:40:11,760 --> 01:40:13,960 Speaker 1: Where's your Where do you set your sights on improving? 2055 01:40:14,760 --> 01:40:17,280 Speaker 1: Basically just trying to take the ball away? Taking the 2056 01:40:17,360 --> 01:40:19,880 Speaker 1: ball away and being better in the red zone if 2057 01:40:20,000 --> 01:40:22,960 Speaker 1: I feel like if we do better in both those areas, 2058 01:40:23,840 --> 01:40:27,120 Speaker 1: will win a lot of games. With Terren Johnson bills 2059 01:40:27,240 --> 01:40:30,559 Speaker 1: a cornerback, nickel corner and in your second year, fourth 2060 01:40:30,680 --> 01:40:32,880 Speaker 1: round pick coming out of Weaver State, have you had 2061 01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,800 Speaker 1: a chance to reflect on the really amazing jump in 2062 01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,439 Speaker 1: your game, in your game and you in your skill 2063 01:40:39,479 --> 01:40:41,160 Speaker 1: set really from where you came when you came out 2064 01:40:41,200 --> 01:40:43,439 Speaker 1: of the draft a couple of years ago. Um, well, 2065 01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:47,240 Speaker 1: first of all, I only played outside corner in college. Okay, 2066 01:40:47,320 --> 01:40:49,719 Speaker 1: so when I knew they wanted me to play nickel, 2067 01:40:50,240 --> 01:40:52,120 Speaker 1: but I didn't really know what I was in for, 2068 01:40:52,680 --> 01:40:54,479 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So when I got here, 2069 01:40:55,080 --> 01:40:57,360 Speaker 1: it was just kind of a whirlwind for me. I 2070 01:40:57,400 --> 01:41:00,000 Speaker 1: had to spend a lot of time in my note book, 2071 01:41:00,160 --> 01:41:03,680 Speaker 1: watch a film, just basically because the defense it's not 2072 01:41:03,800 --> 01:41:06,360 Speaker 1: easy to learn at all. You need time, you need 2073 01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,760 Speaker 1: to mess up, you need to see different different formations 2074 01:41:09,800 --> 01:41:12,920 Speaker 1: and things like that. So just all those things happened 2075 01:41:12,920 --> 01:41:16,760 Speaker 1: to me has has definitely helped me become a better player. 2076 01:41:16,800 --> 01:41:18,800 Speaker 1: And the fact that the way I like to play, 2077 01:41:18,880 --> 01:41:21,200 Speaker 1: I like to be triggered like fast. I like to 2078 01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:24,000 Speaker 1: play fast. So anytime I'm out there, all I know 2079 01:41:24,200 --> 01:41:26,920 Speaker 1: is I'm gonna I'm gonna play fast. I'll go ahead. 2080 01:41:27,280 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 1: How important was it for the team because we got 2081 01:41:29,520 --> 01:41:31,080 Speaker 1: to feel from it in the booth doing the four 2082 01:41:31,160 --> 01:41:35,280 Speaker 1: preseason games, how together and how fun the preseason was 2083 01:41:35,320 --> 01:41:37,640 Speaker 1: when you go four and oh, what's the vibe in 2084 01:41:37,680 --> 01:41:39,600 Speaker 1: the What was the vibe in the locker room about 2085 01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:41,680 Speaker 1: going four and oh, you're coming in? You're coming back 2086 01:41:41,720 --> 01:41:44,040 Speaker 1: here to play the Vikings the last preseason game. You 2087 01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,360 Speaker 1: know a lot of you guys are not going to 2088 01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,240 Speaker 1: be playing. What's the vibe in the locker room? Lik? 2089 01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:50,599 Speaker 1: And I know it didn't mean everything to go four 2090 01:41:50,640 --> 01:41:52,920 Speaker 1: and oh in the Preasee's would have meant something. UM 2091 01:41:53,439 --> 01:41:55,639 Speaker 1: just shows I feel like how much we've came together 2092 01:41:55,920 --> 01:41:58,800 Speaker 1: in the past, in the past year. Um that that 2093 01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,720 Speaker 1: that's what I feel like separates us the most. It's 2094 01:42:01,760 --> 01:42:04,800 Speaker 1: just how how close we are, how close knit group 2095 01:42:04,840 --> 01:42:07,000 Speaker 1: we are, And it always sucks to see that even 2096 01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:08,360 Speaker 1: though at the end of the preseason, A lot of 2097 01:42:08,400 --> 01:42:10,240 Speaker 1: guys aren't gonna be here, you know what I'm saying. 2098 01:42:10,280 --> 01:42:12,800 Speaker 1: So that's always tough because we were sold together and 2099 01:42:12,840 --> 01:42:14,160 Speaker 1: that's just the nature of the business. You want to 2100 01:42:14,240 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 1: keep fifty three fifty three guys, So we're just um. 2101 01:42:19,040 --> 01:42:22,880 Speaker 1: I feel like that that unity has uh really helped us. 2102 01:42:23,160 --> 01:42:25,720 Speaker 1: Talking about playing Nicole Corner, it strikes me. Yes, it's 2103 01:42:25,800 --> 01:42:28,720 Speaker 1: coverage usually of the slot receiver. It's also a lot 2104 01:42:28,760 --> 01:42:30,560 Speaker 1: of run support, right, Yeah, how do you like that? 2105 01:42:31,240 --> 01:42:35,519 Speaker 1: I'm pretty physical. I like playing physical, so I like it, 2106 01:42:36,080 --> 01:42:37,800 Speaker 1: you know, I like it. Obviously, I wanted to get 2107 01:42:37,800 --> 01:42:40,200 Speaker 1: a little bit bigger this offseason just because I wanted 2108 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:41,479 Speaker 1: my body to be able to take it a little 2109 01:42:41,479 --> 01:42:44,680 Speaker 1: bit more better. You're gonna get Levy on Bells. Yeah, 2110 01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:48,720 Speaker 1: that's a that's a lot. Yeah, yeah, it's definitely a lot. 2111 01:42:48,840 --> 01:42:52,320 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm up for the challenge. The Prouder 2112 01:42:52,439 --> 01:42:54,240 Speaker 1: is he gonna Yeah, yeah he is. What do you 2113 01:42:54,280 --> 01:42:56,640 Speaker 1: think of him? I think he's a good player, you know, 2114 01:42:57,240 --> 01:43:00,160 Speaker 1: on the Redskins he was definitely when he got up 2115 01:43:00,200 --> 01:43:01,800 Speaker 1: in his hands, he made a lot of plays. So 2116 01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,080 Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking forward to going against him. I know 2117 01:43:04,160 --> 01:43:05,840 Speaker 1: that that's that's what they're going to try to use 2118 01:43:05,880 --> 01:43:08,280 Speaker 1: him for when we play against him. Terren, you you 2119 01:43:08,439 --> 01:43:10,840 Speaker 1: played in one game against the Jets, the win down 2120 01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,439 Speaker 1: there where Sam Darnold did not play, So this would 2121 01:43:14,439 --> 01:43:16,960 Speaker 1: be your first game against Sam Darnold, right, And what 2122 01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:18,600 Speaker 1: have you seen of him on video? What kind of 2123 01:43:18,680 --> 01:43:21,720 Speaker 1: quarterback is he? He's accurate? Um, that That's what I 2124 01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:23,880 Speaker 1: would say. That's probably the biggest thing that jumped out 2125 01:43:23,920 --> 01:43:25,880 Speaker 1: to me is his accuracy when he throws the ball. 2126 01:43:25,920 --> 01:43:27,400 Speaker 1: When you know a guy can throw it in there 2127 01:43:27,479 --> 01:43:30,759 Speaker 1: like that as tight windows, that change your thought process 2128 01:43:30,800 --> 01:43:32,880 Speaker 1: about how you cover or do you just know that, 2129 01:43:33,439 --> 01:43:35,320 Speaker 1: no matter how good you're covering, the guy may try 2130 01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:36,680 Speaker 1: and throw it in there or is that is that 2131 01:43:36,760 --> 01:43:38,920 Speaker 1: the only difference, or do you actually do something different 2132 01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,360 Speaker 1: with a guy that is pinpoint accurate like that. As 2133 01:43:42,400 --> 01:43:44,360 Speaker 1: far as playing man and man, I try to play 2134 01:43:44,439 --> 01:43:47,200 Speaker 1: man and man the same every time, regardless of who 2135 01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:49,639 Speaker 1: the quarterback is. I want to be on the guy 2136 01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:52,160 Speaker 1: locked on to take away the option. Yeah, exactly, exactly. 2137 01:43:52,400 --> 01:43:55,080 Speaker 1: Hey Stevens, asking a little bit about this defense and 2138 01:43:55,240 --> 01:43:57,599 Speaker 1: getting ready to play. I wonder we both took note 2139 01:43:57,640 --> 01:44:00,559 Speaker 1: of earlier today. Just the feeling around the building today 2140 01:44:00,680 --> 01:44:03,280 Speaker 1: seems very business like, maybe more so than any days 2141 01:44:03,320 --> 01:44:06,600 Speaker 1: since the season ended around here. Do you detect that? 2142 01:44:06,680 --> 01:44:08,880 Speaker 1: Do you see that also? I mean yeah, I mean 2143 01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:11,120 Speaker 1: we got it's it's it's a big year. I mean, 2144 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:16,360 Speaker 1: I'm expecting a lot from from our secondary group, you know, 2145 01:44:16,400 --> 01:44:18,439 Speaker 1: because I feel like we had a good year last year. 2146 01:44:18,600 --> 01:44:20,479 Speaker 1: We just want to keep taking it to the next 2147 01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:23,040 Speaker 1: to the next level. Don't want everyone to get complacent. 2148 01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,320 Speaker 1: It's a big game. It is. We're looking forward to 2149 01:44:27,160 --> 01:44:29,240 Speaker 1: stay one piece for the whole season the most. Definitely 2150 01:44:29,320 --> 01:44:33,200 Speaker 1: thanks thanks Darren Johnson, Bill's Nicol Corner joining us on 2151 01:44:33,280 --> 01:44:35,519 Speaker 1: the show. Johns Allen spoke with the media moments ago. 2152 01:44:35,840 --> 01:44:37,800 Speaker 1: Let's just listen in to the Bill's quarterback in his 2153 01:44:37,880 --> 01:44:40,680 Speaker 1: news conference. Well, you won't really know until you get 2154 01:44:40,720 --> 01:44:44,400 Speaker 1: on the field, um and make some adjustments during the game. 2155 01:44:44,520 --> 01:44:46,679 Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's you said, a lot of unknowns 2156 01:44:46,720 --> 01:44:49,400 Speaker 1: as far as personnel. You know, what we expect them 2157 01:44:49,439 --> 01:44:51,320 Speaker 1: to do versus what they actually do. You know, they're 2158 01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,599 Speaker 1: they're very well coached team. Um, they got a good offense, 2159 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:56,360 Speaker 1: so that means we gotta make sure that we're doing 2160 01:44:56,400 --> 01:44:58,479 Speaker 1: our product on our side, and their defense is no 2161 01:44:58,600 --> 01:45:00,560 Speaker 1: joke either, So they're gonna be ready to play. You know, 2162 01:45:00,640 --> 01:45:03,040 Speaker 1: I know Greg Williams, it's been a long time defensive 2163 01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:05,920 Speaker 1: coordinator in this league. You know, he's uh, it's got 2164 01:45:05,960 --> 01:45:08,360 Speaker 1: the respect of a lot of players, including myself, just 2165 01:45:08,439 --> 01:45:09,840 Speaker 1: as far as what he does and what he's been 2166 01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,120 Speaker 1: able to do in his career. Um. You know, So 2167 01:45:12,920 --> 01:45:15,519 Speaker 1: it's a it's a heavy, heavy matchup we're going against, 2168 01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:17,720 Speaker 1: and we're not taking them lightly at all. You see, 2169 01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:26,880 Speaker 1: we'll even just defenses do variety. Yeah, I mean it's 2170 01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:29,320 Speaker 1: we gotta stick to our base rules. We gotta see 2171 01:45:29,360 --> 01:45:31,040 Speaker 1: what we see. You know. I gotta make sure that 2172 01:45:31,080 --> 01:45:33,120 Speaker 1: the protections are are right, and I know where my 2173 01:45:33,160 --> 01:45:36,519 Speaker 1: answers are. Um. You know, odds are they're gonna come 2174 01:45:36,560 --> 01:45:38,640 Speaker 1: out and show us something that we haven't seen from them. 2175 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:40,640 Speaker 1: And like I said, we're gonna have to make adjustments 2176 01:45:40,680 --> 01:45:42,639 Speaker 1: in the game. And uh, as long as we're sticking 2177 01:45:42,640 --> 01:45:45,160 Speaker 1: to our base rules, I know our answers are. UM, 2178 01:45:45,600 --> 01:45:48,040 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna we'll be okay in that aspect, 2179 01:45:48,160 --> 01:45:50,000 Speaker 1: but you know, we got to be consistent with that. 2180 01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:51,920 Speaker 1: Take care of the football, um, and that's something that 2181 01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:53,639 Speaker 1: Greig is known for, is it being able to take 2182 01:45:53,640 --> 01:45:56,720 Speaker 1: away the football with his defenses. So, um, like I said, 2183 01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:01,080 Speaker 1: it's no easy task playing against a defense coach by him. So, um, 2184 01:46:01,439 --> 01:46:04,680 Speaker 1: we're trying to prepare as much as we can in 2185 01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:06,560 Speaker 1: the face of that pressure. Where's the line for you 2186 01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:10,120 Speaker 1: between trying to extend to play and actually taking off 2187 01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:13,360 Speaker 1: and run over the ball? Yeah, I mean it's really 2188 01:46:13,400 --> 01:46:15,720 Speaker 1: just the smartest play is the best play, um, you know, 2189 01:46:15,840 --> 01:46:18,760 Speaker 1: especially against that defense who thrives against turnovers, and they're 2190 01:46:18,760 --> 01:46:21,000 Speaker 1: trying to get pressure to the quarterback. So if there's 2191 01:46:21,000 --> 01:46:23,479 Speaker 1: an option where you know, we can get a back 2192 01:46:23,600 --> 01:46:25,720 Speaker 1: or a receiver quick underneath and they can make make 2193 01:46:25,800 --> 01:46:28,080 Speaker 1: some plays, and that's what we're gonna try to do. Um. 2194 01:46:28,320 --> 01:46:30,000 Speaker 1: You know, that's the job as the quarterbacks to get 2195 01:46:30,000 --> 01:46:32,080 Speaker 1: the ball to the playmakers and let them make some plays. 2196 01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,000 Speaker 1: So however we got to do that, We're gonna try 2197 01:46:34,000 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: to do that. That sen how how what are the 2198 01:46:37,640 --> 01:46:41,160 Speaker 1: challenges of having to make quick adjustments with an offense 2199 01:46:41,280 --> 01:46:44,439 Speaker 1: that is potentially brand new with a lot of you know, 2200 01:46:44,640 --> 01:46:47,960 Speaker 1: there's been a lot of moving pieces and just how 2201 01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:51,640 Speaker 1: what are the challenges of of not going there, but 2202 01:46:51,840 --> 01:46:55,000 Speaker 1: not having having had a lot of chemistry, I don't 2203 01:46:55,000 --> 01:46:57,040 Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a huge problem. We've had a 2204 01:46:57,080 --> 01:46:58,719 Speaker 1: lot of guys on this team that are very smart, 2205 01:46:58,960 --> 01:47:01,280 Speaker 1: that communicate extremely well. That's one of our point of 2206 01:47:01,320 --> 01:47:04,400 Speaker 1: emphasis when we really install our offense, we try to 2207 01:47:04,400 --> 01:47:09,880 Speaker 1: communicate and be the best at the best possible at communicating. So, um, 2208 01:47:10,360 --> 01:47:12,360 Speaker 1: you know, in game adjustments, we've got smart guys who 2209 01:47:12,479 --> 01:47:16,400 Speaker 1: who do their job. Um. I don't expect any difficulties there. 2210 01:47:16,439 --> 01:47:19,320 Speaker 1: And once we make our decision to change something in 2211 01:47:19,320 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 1: the game, we're gonna roll with it and expect our 2212 01:47:21,400 --> 01:47:24,439 Speaker 1: guys to you know, do their jobs. He's interested to 2213 01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:28,160 Speaker 1: see will the identity get this too, will become how 2214 01:47:28,200 --> 01:47:32,720 Speaker 1: would you describe the identity? You know, I think there's 2215 01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:34,479 Speaker 1: a lot to prove with the guys that we got 2216 01:47:34,520 --> 01:47:37,479 Speaker 1: on this team. We're very hungry. Um, We're not gonna 2217 01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:39,640 Speaker 1: talk a lot, and we're not going to be in 2218 01:47:39,760 --> 01:47:42,400 Speaker 1: the media a lot. Um. You know, we want to 2219 01:47:42,600 --> 01:47:44,400 Speaker 1: focus in and play the best football that we can 2220 01:47:44,479 --> 01:47:46,200 Speaker 1: and try to win as many football games as we can. 2221 01:47:46,320 --> 01:47:49,120 Speaker 1: So um, you know, I appreciate all the guys and 2222 01:47:49,200 --> 01:47:51,599 Speaker 1: what we're doing right now and how hard we're working, 2223 01:47:51,720 --> 01:47:55,200 Speaker 1: how hard we're preparing.

You know that it's nowhere 2247 01:48:56,479 --> 01:48:58,439 Speaker 1: to go but up in my opinion. Um, you know, 2248 01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:00,240 Speaker 1: there's lots to learn. There's still a lot to learn 2249 01:49:00,280 --> 01:49:01,960 Speaker 1: that we're going through, and we're gonna make mistakes and 2250 01:49:01,960 --> 01:49:03,800 Speaker 1: we're gonna learn from them and we're gonna try to 2251 01:49:03,920 --> 01:49:06,479 Speaker 1: adapt and change that and apply it to the game field. 2252 01:49:07,080 --> 01:49:09,680 Speaker 1: When it play breaks down and you are kind of 2253 01:49:10,240 --> 01:49:13,479 Speaker 1: you scrambling back and forth, they're like a secondary rob 2254 01:49:13,560 --> 01:49:15,519 Speaker 1: tree for these receivers that when they see you roll 2255 01:49:15,520 --> 01:49:18,880 Speaker 1: out the part. Yeah, everybody's just their their own scrambled rules. Um, 2256 01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:21,800 Speaker 1: it's I really don't know if they differ from team 2257 01:49:21,840 --> 01:49:24,120 Speaker 1: to team too too much. You know, you see a 2258 01:49:24,240 --> 01:49:26,680 Speaker 1: quarterback scrambling, you try to run towards him. Um, if 2259 01:49:26,680 --> 01:49:28,360 Speaker 1: there's no one behind, you try to run, you know, 2260 01:49:28,520 --> 01:49:32,120 Speaker 1: the opposite way. So it's nothing too difficult. But you 2261 01:49:32,240 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 1: know the plan is to get the ball out quickly, 2262 01:49:34,120 --> 01:49:36,160 Speaker 1: and if I need to improvise and make a couple 2263 01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:37,880 Speaker 1: of plays on the run, that's what If that's what's 2264 01:49:37,880 --> 01:49:39,720 Speaker 1: asked for me to do. I'm gonna try to do that. 2265 01:49:40,479 --> 01:49:44,200 Speaker 1: Precious Duke made a couple of catches pretty ridiculous. It's 2266 01:49:44,200 --> 01:49:50,320 Speaker 1: the defensive backs, But did you see those one? Yeah, 2267 01:49:50,400 --> 01:49:52,280 Speaker 1: I was standing right there, you know, to watch it. 2268 01:49:52,560 --> 01:49:53,920 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's good to see him make that 2269 01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,320 Speaker 1: type of play, and obviously we're lucky to have him 2270 01:49:56,360 --> 01:49:58,240 Speaker 1: back here. Um, even though it is I'm you know, 2271 01:49:58,320 --> 01:50:02,000 Speaker 1: practice spot, but you know, keep making plays like that. Um, 2272 01:50:02,840 --> 01:50:05,000 Speaker 1: you know, we'll see. So he's one of those guys 2273 01:50:05,040 --> 01:50:07,720 Speaker 1: that everybody kind of leans towards and then he brings 2274 01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:09,479 Speaker 1: a lot of juice to the guys, and UM, I 2275 01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,679 Speaker 1: appreciate what he does for us. You know what you're saying. 2276 01:50:12,680 --> 01:50:16,040 Speaker 1: You want do whatever your takes to win, but you 2277 01:50:16,120 --> 01:50:19,840 Speaker 1: have to believe that your passing game is a lot better. Sure, 2278 01:50:21,479 --> 01:50:23,479 Speaker 1: you know, I know you're I know you won't say 2279 01:50:23,600 --> 01:50:26,880 Speaker 1: I want to feel it. You have to have a 2280 01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:30,439 Speaker 1: lot of faith that you can do a better j Yeah, 2281 01:50:30,439 --> 01:50:31,720 Speaker 1: I definitely have a lot of faith in the guys 2282 01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:33,960 Speaker 1: that we've got out there. You know. Um, I'll allude 2283 01:50:33,960 --> 01:50:37,519 Speaker 1: it to working hard, communicating well, Um, you see a 2284 01:50:37,560 --> 01:50:39,400 Speaker 1: bunch of the receivers over there, you know, getting worked 2285 01:50:39,439 --> 01:50:42,120 Speaker 1: on the jug on the jug, So, um, what are 2286 01:50:42,160 --> 01:50:43,560 Speaker 1: guys that are hungry? They just want to work, that 2287 01:50:43,640 --> 01:50:45,280 Speaker 1: want to get better at want to win football games, 2288 01:50:45,280 --> 01:50:46,880 Speaker 1: and UM gonna be more proud to be part of 2289 01:50:46,920 --> 01:50:50,599 Speaker 1: this group. Want to some kind of past run way 2290 01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:53,680 Speaker 1: you didn't the first appreciated. I mean, we'll see it. 2291 01:50:53,800 --> 01:50:55,880 Speaker 1: Just every game is a little different. There's no same 2292 01:50:55,960 --> 01:50:58,640 Speaker 1: situation in football. You can prepare for as many as 2293 01:50:58,680 --> 01:51:01,160 Speaker 1: you can, but something it will be different during that game. 2294 01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:03,599 Speaker 1: So we're just trying to prepare for as much as possible. 2295 01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:05,679 Speaker 1: If we need to run it, like I said, we're 2296 01:51:05,680 --> 01:51:07,240 Speaker 1: gonna run. If we need to pass it, we'll pass 2297 01:51:07,240 --> 01:51:09,320 Speaker 1: it and then we'll play good complimentary football on that 2298 01:51:09,439 --> 01:51:12,960 Speaker 1: end too.

He's slippery 2304 01:51:26,880 --> 01:51:28,960 Speaker 1: to tackle. Um, he's gonna be very good for us 2305 01:51:29,000 --> 01:51:31,599 Speaker 1: this year. And obviously the increased the role that he's 2306 01:51:31,640 --> 01:51:33,880 Speaker 1: going to have now and getting to learn behind Frank 2307 01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:37,360 Speaker 1: and learn from tj.

You know, he's 2313 01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,719 Speaker 1: one of those guys that you know, he won't probably 2314 01:51:55,760 --> 01:51:58,639 Speaker 1: get two or three catches a game, but he's gonna 2315 01:51:58,680 --> 01:52:00,240 Speaker 1: do his job and he's gonna do it well. He's 2316 01:52:00,240 --> 01:52:02,960 Speaker 1: gonna be talking, um, making sure that we're all on 2317 01:52:03,000 --> 01:52:04,680 Speaker 1: the same page.

Um, but he's gonna have a huge, you 2322 01:52:13,760 --> 01:52:20,599 Speaker 1: know impact for us finally get on the line, especially 2323 01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:23,439 Speaker 1: after all summer guys we're now with injuries and things 2324 01:52:23,520 --> 01:52:26,000 Speaker 1: like that. Oh, it's gonna be awesome. Um. Like I said, 2325 01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:28,479 Speaker 1: I love you know, each and one of every one 2326 01:52:28,520 --> 01:52:31,120 Speaker 1: of these guys on our team and appreciate how hard 2327 01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:34,040 Speaker 1: they've been working on the offense. Um, you know, it's 2328 01:52:34,040 --> 01:52:35,479 Speaker 1: gonna be fun to get out there and actually play 2329 01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:38,519 Speaker 1: some real football, and it means something. So we're all hungry. Uh, 2330 01:52:38,640 --> 01:52:40,960 Speaker 1: you know, both teams, you know, probably all thirty two 2331 01:52:41,000 --> 01:52:43,000 Speaker 1: teams included. Everybody wants to get out there and play 2332 01:52:43,000 --> 01:52:45,800 Speaker 1: some real football. But um, you know, it's a it's 2333 01:52:45,840 --> 01:52:47,439 Speaker 1: a good special group to be a part of here 2334 01:52:47,439 --> 01:52:49,599 Speaker 1: in Buffalo. And um, I think if you ask any 2335 01:52:49,600 --> 01:52:51,800 Speaker 1: of the guys will say the same thing. There is 2336 01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:54,000 Speaker 1: Josh Allen meeting in the media today, asked about the 2337 01:52:54,120 --> 01:52:56,679 Speaker 1: les question about how's the field to finally have continuity 2338 01:52:56,720 --> 01:52:59,519 Speaker 1: on the line. I guess if four days of practice 2339 01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:03,479 Speaker 1: is kind of that that ship sailed a while ago. Yes, 2340 01:53:03,560 --> 01:53:06,880 Speaker 1: speaking of continuity, who are those guys exactly? That ship 2341 01:53:07,000 --> 01:53:09,519 Speaker 1: sailed a while ago? But Josh sounds good again the 2342 01:53:09,640 --> 01:53:11,760 Speaker 1: word And I asked Taron Johnson about Steve. I get 2343 01:53:12,320 --> 01:53:14,640 Speaker 1: just the demeanor from Taran, from Josh and what you 2344 01:53:14,680 --> 01:53:19,439 Speaker 1: can observe, and it's only video observation here. These players 2345 01:53:19,479 --> 01:53:22,880 Speaker 1: seem business like today. They seem focused and business like. 2346 01:53:23,520 --> 01:53:25,320 Speaker 1: Wins or losses. I don't know how it translates, but 2347 01:53:25,400 --> 01:53:28,880 Speaker 1: there's not a lot of unbridled enthusiasm or role let's 2348 01:53:28,880 --> 01:53:31,000 Speaker 1: go again them. It's more like here it is, let's go, 2349 01:53:31,160 --> 01:53:33,200 Speaker 1: let's get to work today for whatever it's worth and 2350 01:53:33,360 --> 01:53:35,880 Speaker 1: good or for good or bad. You also get a 2351 01:53:35,960 --> 01:53:38,560 Speaker 1: sense that even Josh Allen all the way down, we 2352 01:53:38,640 --> 01:53:40,679 Speaker 1: had Taron Johnson on here, and all the other guys 2353 01:53:40,760 --> 01:53:43,040 Speaker 1: we've had as guests on the show, and certainly Sean 2354 01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:45,920 Speaker 1: McDermott exudes this as well. Part of this culture thing 2355 01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:50,320 Speaker 1: that we talked so much about is they're not really 2356 01:53:50,400 --> 01:53:55,560 Speaker 1: into tooting their own horn, you know, very businesslike in 2357 01:53:55,600 --> 01:54:00,000 Speaker 1: their rhetoric and superficial in their in depth discussions about strategy. 2358 01:54:00,479 --> 01:54:05,200 Speaker 1: Players nobody says anything but the players are respectful of 2359 01:54:05,240 --> 01:54:07,840 Speaker 1: the opponent there. You know, they don't talk about their 2360 01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:10,040 Speaker 1: teammates at all. You know, there's an A's a great player. 2361 01:54:10,439 --> 01:54:12,160 Speaker 1: You know, he said some nice things about Lee Smith. 2362 01:54:12,880 --> 01:54:16,080 Speaker 1: You know. Um, they just seem to be hitting all 2363 01:54:16,120 --> 01:54:18,680 Speaker 1: the checking all the boxes for a team that you know, 2364 01:54:20,760 --> 01:54:23,160 Speaker 1: it seems to be, you know, all on the same page. 2365 01:54:23,200 --> 01:54:26,120 Speaker 1: I mean, this culture thing runs really deep, it seems 2366 01:54:26,520 --> 01:54:30,280 Speaker 1: on this team we've seen signs of it. But even 2367 01:54:30,320 --> 01:54:33,560 Speaker 1: in their media obligations. Man, these guys are they seem 2368 01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:35,520 Speaker 1: to be on point. It's in place, The culture is 2369 01:54:35,560 --> 01:54:37,720 Speaker 1: in place. And let me say this too. And we 2370 01:54:37,840 --> 01:54:39,680 Speaker 1: talked to Kim about it, Kim Jones an hour or 2371 01:54:39,720 --> 01:54:43,400 Speaker 1: so ago. Look, you and I were laughing about the Jets, right, 2372 01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:45,960 Speaker 1: we have to admit it. The Jet beat reporters were 2373 01:54:46,040 --> 01:54:48,240 Speaker 1: laughing about the Jet. I'm not laughing this week. The 2374 01:54:48,440 --> 01:54:50,200 Speaker 1: more I think about him, read about him, do a 2375 01:54:50,320 --> 01:54:53,200 Speaker 1: depth chart on him, read about you know, the last 2376 01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:55,720 Speaker 1: couple of weeks of training camp observations that people make 2377 01:54:55,760 --> 01:54:59,200 Speaker 1: about Darnold and preseason games and in training camp practices. 2378 01:54:59,720 --> 01:55:02,440 Speaker 1: There's nothing to laugh at anymore. There was back when 2379 01:55:03,440 --> 01:55:05,920 Speaker 1: Adam Gays is making Google eyes, and when the general 2380 01:55:06,000 --> 01:55:07,720 Speaker 1: manager has let go and you don't know who the 2381 01:55:07,800 --> 01:55:09,800 Speaker 1: next GM is, there's nothing to laugh about. The Jets 2382 01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:12,520 Speaker 1: and that all that stuff that they read about, and 2383 01:55:12,600 --> 01:55:16,880 Speaker 1: the and the stuff they said about Adam Gases, press coffers, 2384 01:55:16,960 --> 01:55:19,160 Speaker 1: all this stuff and firing the GM and stuff that. 2385 01:55:20,080 --> 01:55:22,040 Speaker 1: Like I told Kim Jones, I mentioned to her, you 2386 01:55:22,080 --> 01:55:23,680 Speaker 1: know they take that, they bawl it up and they 2387 01:55:24,440 --> 01:55:27,120 Speaker 1: and they use it as fuel. Yeah, they're gonna come 2388 01:55:27,120 --> 01:55:29,400 Speaker 1: out really highly motivated. I think Adam Gasee is a 2389 01:55:29,400 --> 01:55:31,080 Speaker 1: guy who's going to be very familiar with what the 2390 01:55:31,120 --> 01:55:33,560 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills do defensively. He was a head coach of 2391 01:55:33,640 --> 01:55:36,400 Speaker 1: the Dolphins for three years. He played this team six times, 2392 01:55:37,400 --> 01:55:39,880 Speaker 1: and two of those years it was all against Sean 2393 01:55:39,960 --> 01:55:46,600 Speaker 1: McDermott teams, So he knows this squad. Not so for 2394 01:55:46,640 --> 01:55:48,680 Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills. Looking at the Jets with Adam gas 2395 01:55:48,800 --> 01:55:50,600 Speaker 1: is their head coach, we'll have to find out what 2396 01:55:50,680 --> 01:55:53,520 Speaker 1: they are. Yep.

It is Wednesday 2423 01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,720 Speaker 1: afternoon in Archerd, Part New York. John Murphy, Steve Tasker 2424 01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:21,200 Speaker 1: in the Seneca Studio. The Buffalo Bills practice for Wednesday 2425 01:57:21,360 --> 01:57:23,760 Speaker 1: is complete. They'll do it again tomorrow. We're asking a 2426 01:57:23,880 --> 01:57:27,360 Speaker 1: question today on Twitter and online and on the phones, 2427 01:57:27,440 --> 01:57:29,840 Speaker 1: what do you think which newcomer on the Bills where 2428 01:57:29,840 --> 01:57:31,760 Speaker 1: the Jets will have the biggest impact on Sunday? We 2429 01:57:31,880 --> 01:57:34,840 Speaker 1: got fourteen hundred votes in on Twitter already, and more 2430 01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:36,760 Speaker 1: than half of you. I gotta say I'm a bit surprised. 2431 01:57:37,160 --> 01:57:39,760 Speaker 1: Fifty percent say Cole Beasley will have the biggest impact, 2432 01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:43,160 Speaker 1: twenty six percent say levi On Bell, twenty two percent 2433 01:57:43,240 --> 01:57:46,120 Speaker 1: say at Oliver, two percent say Quinnin Williams first round 2434 01:57:46,160 --> 01:57:49,120 Speaker 1: draft pick. Why am I surprised? I don't know. I 2435 01:57:49,720 --> 01:57:51,520 Speaker 1: think I would vote for Levion Bell. Now that doesn't 2436 01:57:51,520 --> 01:57:52,960 Speaker 1: mean I think he's gonna have a big game, but 2437 01:57:53,080 --> 01:57:55,200 Speaker 1: I think he will be the focal point of the 2438 01:57:55,280 --> 01:57:57,360 Speaker 1: Jets offensively. I don't know Cole Beasley will be the 2439 01:57:57,400 --> 01:58:01,240 Speaker 1: Bills focal point on offense. Yeah, there's a lot of 2440 01:58:01,360 --> 01:58:04,160 Speaker 1: unknown to the Jets. I get that, I think and Bills. 2441 01:58:04,280 --> 01:58:07,640 Speaker 1: There's a lot of hopeful optimism about Cole Beasley and 2442 01:58:07,680 --> 01:58:09,160 Speaker 1: what he can bring to the Bills offense. So we 2443 01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:11,839 Speaker 1: saw a glimpse of it in the Carolina game. Five targets, 2444 01:58:11,920 --> 01:58:14,680 Speaker 1: five receptions, like three first downs in a row or something. 2445 01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:17,760 Speaker 1: I mean, it was it looked easy I think Bills 2446 01:58:17,800 --> 01:58:19,440 Speaker 1: are kind of Bills fans are kind of projecting that 2447 01:58:19,520 --> 01:58:21,440 Speaker 1: onto the to this game. I don't know if it'll happen, 2448 01:58:21,480 --> 01:58:23,640 Speaker 1: but certainly he's a big part of what they're gonna do. 2449 01:58:23,760 --> 01:58:25,720 Speaker 1: And yeah, he's got the ability to get open. That's 2450 01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:27,240 Speaker 1: why they brought him here and he showed it. So 2451 01:58:27,880 --> 01:58:29,760 Speaker 1: if Josh Allen can find him, if he can get 2452 01:58:29,840 --> 01:58:32,440 Speaker 1: rid of the football, if Cole Beasley can indeed get open, 2453 01:58:32,520 --> 01:58:35,840 Speaker 1: and the Jets don't do anything to take him away, yeah, 2454 01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,200 Speaker 1: it could be a big day. Let's get some of 2455 01:58:39,240 --> 01:58:40,840 Speaker 1: the tweets. The tweet sheet is brought to you by 2456 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:44,520 Speaker 1: Corrigan Moving Systems. The official movers are the Buffalo Bills. 2457 01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:47,200 Speaker 1: Tweet responses which do come around the Jets or the Bills. 2458 01:58:47,480 --> 01:58:49,200 Speaker 1: We'll have the biggest impact on Sunday. What a you 2459 01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:51,120 Speaker 1: got on the show from Steve No relation, he says, 2460 01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:53,720 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary with an improved or line opening holes for 2461 01:58:53,840 --> 01:58:56,000 Speaker 1: him and has an out and as an outlet for 2462 01:58:56,080 --> 01:58:58,360 Speaker 1: Alan catching passes out of the backfield, I expect he 2463 01:58:58,480 --> 01:59:01,320 Speaker 1: will make a few big play. That's Devine vote for 2464 01:59:01,360 --> 01:59:05,160 Speaker 1: Devin sing Yeah, I think that's a good observation. And 2465 01:59:05,240 --> 01:59:07,200 Speaker 1: as I said to Brownie first segment of the show, 2466 01:59:07,560 --> 01:59:09,200 Speaker 1: when I asked him end of the day, end of 2467 01:59:09,240 --> 01:59:11,680 Speaker 1: the game Sunday, who will have the most touches Gore 2468 01:59:11,880 --> 01:59:14,360 Speaker 1: or Singletary, and he's he kind of guessed that Gore might. 2469 01:59:14,760 --> 01:59:17,960 Speaker 1: I disagree. I think Singletary will be the I don't 2470 01:59:17,960 --> 01:59:19,960 Speaker 1: know if you call him the featured back. I just 2471 01:59:20,080 --> 01:59:22,440 Speaker 1: have the feeling. This is just my estimation. He will 2472 01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:24,640 Speaker 1: be the guy they're looking for to carry the ball 2473 01:59:24,680 --> 01:59:26,840 Speaker 1: and to get you know, passes coming out of the back. 2474 01:59:27,760 --> 01:59:30,320 Speaker 1: Brownie's out of the of the mind that Singletary is 2475 01:59:30,320 --> 01:59:32,360 Speaker 1: one of those guys. The Bills will work into it. Slowly. 2476 01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:36,280 Speaker 1: They'll lean on Gore and his veteran leadership, get let 2477 01:59:36,400 --> 01:59:38,160 Speaker 1: Gore carry it for a game or two, and let 2478 01:59:38,440 --> 01:59:40,960 Speaker 1: Singletary work in, find out what he's like when in 2479 01:59:41,160 --> 01:59:43,720 Speaker 1: a real game, and then turn him loose layer. I 2480 01:59:43,760 --> 01:59:45,880 Speaker 1: don't know if I believe that. I don't. I think 2481 01:59:45,920 --> 01:59:47,480 Speaker 1: when you keep a guy on the fifty three, when 2482 01:59:47,640 --> 01:59:49,360 Speaker 1: you turn him loose and you say, as go play 2483 01:59:49,400 --> 01:59:52,120 Speaker 1: some football and expect him to do it. Um, I 2484 01:59:52,200 --> 01:59:53,960 Speaker 1: think the guys at this level are up to that. 2485 01:59:54,560 --> 01:59:58,360 Speaker 1: So I get working the guy in slow. But if 2486 01:59:58,400 --> 02:00:01,720 Speaker 1: he's ready, he's ready. And I don't think there's any 2487 02:00:01,720 --> 02:00:04,400 Speaker 1: reason to think Stevin Singletary is going to be pushed 2488 02:00:04,440 --> 02:00:06,720 Speaker 1: to the side because they don't trust him. Fully, I agree, 2489 02:00:06,760 --> 02:00:09,520 Speaker 1: you know what I mean, keep going on your bills 2490 02:00:09,560 --> 02:00:12,760 Speaker 1: on three. Levion Bell is a good test for this 2491 02:00:12,960 --> 02:00:15,880 Speaker 1: defense early. Stopping him his priority number one, and the 2492 02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:18,160 Speaker 1: Bills are well aware of That's why I would vote 2493 02:00:18,200 --> 02:00:19,840 Speaker 1: for him on the Twitter poll. I think he will. 2494 02:00:19,880 --> 02:00:23,080 Speaker 1: He probably has the biggest impact already. The Bill's preparation 2495 02:00:23,160 --> 02:00:25,680 Speaker 1: for Levion Bell is probably consuming most of their time 2496 02:00:26,560 --> 02:00:29,480 Speaker 1: in the defensive meeting room this week. He's a multi 2497 02:00:30,040 --> 02:00:33,800 Speaker 1: faceted attack person, right through the air, on the ground, 2498 02:00:34,200 --> 02:00:37,520 Speaker 1: a unique running style with that long hesitation. Just when 2499 02:00:37,560 --> 02:00:40,320 Speaker 1: you think he's not going anywhere, right he stands in 2500 02:00:40,360 --> 02:00:42,320 Speaker 1: the backfield and then chow, you know he's right through 2501 02:00:42,360 --> 02:00:44,440 Speaker 1: the hole. I think he is. We haven't seen him. 2502 02:00:44,520 --> 02:00:46,480 Speaker 1: We know that in six hundred plus days. I just 2503 02:00:46,560 --> 02:00:48,480 Speaker 1: think he has a lot to offer the Jets. I 2504 02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:50,440 Speaker 1: think he would be the newcomer with the biggest impact. 2505 02:00:51,080 --> 02:00:53,560 Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to me early in the game 2506 02:00:53,640 --> 02:00:57,600 Speaker 1: when the Jets have the ball, how interested and how 2507 02:00:57,760 --> 02:01:01,200 Speaker 1: focused they are on getting him the ball, and how 2508 02:01:01,280 --> 02:01:04,760 Speaker 1: they do it. He's gotta get you know, you gotta think, man, 2509 02:01:04,840 --> 02:01:07,760 Speaker 1: he's the guy that touches it first, right, Yeah. Are 2510 02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:09,480 Speaker 1: they gonna just hand it to him, say let's go 2511 02:01:09,600 --> 02:01:11,120 Speaker 1: get him, or are they gonna use him as a 2512 02:01:11,200 --> 02:01:14,880 Speaker 1: decoy run, you know, roll Darnald out and throw it 2513 02:01:15,000 --> 02:01:17,240 Speaker 1: back to him. You know, one of those funky screenplays 2514 02:01:17,280 --> 02:01:19,920 Speaker 1: catching the Bills, you know, with that adrenaline pump in 2515 02:01:19,960 --> 02:01:22,440 Speaker 1: the very early stages. They're gonna get after the quarterback 2516 02:01:22,440 --> 02:01:25,240 Speaker 1: and get Darnald, Gonna stop Levion Bell and hit him 2517 02:01:25,240 --> 02:01:28,800 Speaker 1: with a little misdirection, get him overcommitted. I mean, how 2518 02:01:28,840 --> 02:01:30,600 Speaker 1: would you do it if you're if you're the Jets. 2519 02:01:30,640 --> 02:01:33,200 Speaker 1: I think it's an interesting question, but man, oh man, 2520 02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:36,240 Speaker 1: I'm with you. I think first carry, first touch of 2521 02:01:36,280 --> 02:01:38,600 Speaker 1: the game for the Jets, it's Levion Bell and nobody else. 2522 02:01:38,720 --> 02:01:40,800 Speaker 1: Want to read one more from the tweets? I guy 2523 02:01:40,880 --> 02:01:44,560 Speaker 1: from Tom He says Greg Williams will probably have the 2524 02:01:44,640 --> 02:01:47,600 Speaker 1: most impact if he can keep Josh Allen off his game. 2525 02:01:48,120 --> 02:01:51,800 Speaker 1: He's one of the best at disguising his defense before 2526 02:01:51,920 --> 02:01:54,640 Speaker 1: and after the snap. The big question is whether or 2527 02:01:54,680 --> 02:01:58,640 Speaker 1: not the Jets have enough effective personnel to pull it off. 2528 02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:04,400 Speaker 1: Their secondary is not strong. Safeties are good, Safeties are 2529 02:02:04,440 --> 02:02:09,040 Speaker 1: all right, Jamal Adams can play. The other guys okay too, Absolutely, 2530 02:02:09,360 --> 02:02:11,880 Speaker 1: Marcus may is good too. But I think that's a 2531 02:02:11,920 --> 02:02:16,160 Speaker 1: good that's a great take. If Josh has enough time 2532 02:02:17,560 --> 02:02:21,000 Speaker 1: theoretically with this group of receivers that they should not 2533 02:02:21,120 --> 02:02:23,680 Speaker 1: be able to hold up to the Bills wide outs 2534 02:02:23,920 --> 02:02:26,640 Speaker 1: as deep as they are. That's if Andre Roberts is 2535 02:02:26,680 --> 02:02:28,400 Speaker 1: healthy and all that. They got enough guys to go, 2536 02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:30,840 Speaker 1: if they can go three or four wide. And I 2537 02:02:30,880 --> 02:02:32,600 Speaker 1: think if you're the Bills, wouldn't you kind of try 2538 02:02:32,600 --> 02:02:35,480 Speaker 1: and do that if there's thin in their secondary? Wouldn't 2539 02:02:35,480 --> 02:02:37,200 Speaker 1: you put as many guys out there, spread the field 2540 02:02:37,200 --> 02:02:39,960 Speaker 1: and make them play. Maybe maybe let me think about that. 2541 02:02:40,120 --> 02:02:42,480 Speaker 1: Straighten out the reads for Josh and there only six 2542 02:02:42,560 --> 02:02:44,320 Speaker 1: guys in the box. If one of them drops out, 2543 02:02:44,360 --> 02:02:46,360 Speaker 1: you're covered, you know that kind of thing. You're here set. 2544 02:02:46,480 --> 02:02:48,160 Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe you do that. I don't know. 2545 02:02:48,400 --> 02:02:51,640 Speaker 1: This is all hearsay, but you know, right, this is 2546 02:02:51,640 --> 02:02:56,040 Speaker 1: all tactics that you got to use. Yeah, So man, 2547 02:02:56,080 --> 02:02:57,520 Speaker 1: it'll be interesting to see I don't know what they're 2548 02:02:57,520 --> 02:02:59,560 Speaker 1: gonna do either, either one of these teams. It's gonna 2549 02:02:59,560 --> 02:03:01,360 Speaker 1: be fun to see. Greig Williams will have an impact, 2550 02:03:01,400 --> 02:03:03,040 Speaker 1: no question about that, and the Bills will have to 2551 02:03:03,080 --> 02:03:06,200 Speaker 1: block whoever the Jets. And one of the guys who's 2552 02:03:06,480 --> 02:03:09,960 Speaker 1: writing on that is left tackle Dan Dawkins getting set 2553 02:03:10,000 --> 02:03:12,040 Speaker 1: for what his third year as a starter with the 2554 02:03:12,040 --> 02:03:16,680 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills.

I mean, it's always a 2561 02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:37,280 Speaker 1: great feeling to get out there and hit some guys 2562 02:03:37,360 --> 02:03:40,920 Speaker 1: that aren't ours.

I mean, well, first, we're 2567 02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:53,760 Speaker 1: all happy that miss is healthy, you know, like that's 2568 02:03:53,840 --> 02:03:56,840 Speaker 1: really what matters, and he's one of us. And I'm 2569 02:03:56,880 --> 02:03:59,120 Speaker 1: just happy that Mitch has come along for this far, 2570 02:04:00,040 --> 02:04:02,280 Speaker 1: even though he is healthy and back taking up. So 2571 02:04:02,320 --> 02:04:04,920 Speaker 1: you guys are still rotating offensive lineman in and out. 2572 02:04:04,960 --> 02:04:07,000 Speaker 1: What does that say about the chemistry that you guys 2573 02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,040 Speaker 1: have on the old line and the ability that you 2574 02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:11,120 Speaker 1: guys can still do this ahead of the first game. 2575 02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,520 Speaker 1: It's just depth, I mean, like that just shows that 2576 02:04:15,280 --> 02:04:18,920 Speaker 1: our organization, like the guys that how we call like 2577 02:04:19,080 --> 02:04:23,320 Speaker 1: his upstairs like being and coach, they're doing exactly what 2578 02:04:23,480 --> 02:04:26,480 Speaker 1: they were put here to do, which is to make 2579 02:04:26,560 --> 02:04:30,040 Speaker 1: guys uncomfortable and to create death. And that's exactly in 2580 02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:33,680 Speaker 1: what they did and it's going well. You told Chris Brown, 2581 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:35,800 Speaker 1: one of our other Bills reporters, I think it was 2582 02:04:36,080 --> 02:04:39,200 Speaker 1: first training camp practice that you felt going out there 2583 02:04:39,240 --> 02:04:41,440 Speaker 1: with the offensive lineman. You felt like you were already 2584 02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,720 Speaker 1: already in week three. Just continuity wise, how do you 2585 02:04:44,800 --> 02:04:49,120 Speaker 1: feel now ahead of week one? So if that was 2586 02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:51,880 Speaker 1: if I said that for week three, this is how 2587 02:04:51,920 --> 02:04:54,640 Speaker 1: many weeks later? So I would say, I feel like 2588 02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:58,680 Speaker 1: it's week seven then, But nah, Like I just said 2589 02:04:58,760 --> 02:05:02,080 Speaker 1: that just to bring the uh, the attention to that 2590 02:05:02,680 --> 02:05:06,120 Speaker 1: our old line room is our brotherhood and all of 2591 02:05:06,200 --> 02:05:09,680 Speaker 1: the guys care about one another and it just feels 2592 02:05:09,720 --> 02:05:13,360 Speaker 1: good to to be one big, happy family. You guys 2593 02:05:13,400 --> 02:05:15,720 Speaker 1: are going to be going up Jets, going up against 2594 02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:19,080 Speaker 1: Jets defense with Greg Williams as the new defensive coordinator there. 2595 02:05:19,080 --> 02:05:21,400 Speaker 1: He's known for blitzing in all directions. So how has 2596 02:05:21,440 --> 02:05:25,880 Speaker 1: Prepp gone ahead of this Jets game? Communication? That's uh, 2597 02:05:26,040 --> 02:05:30,280 Speaker 1: that's all of this. Uh, ball is ball, and as 2598 02:05:30,320 --> 02:05:33,760 Speaker 1: long as we communicate, the rest is good. How excited 2599 02:05:33,760 --> 02:05:36,280 Speaker 1: are you to see Josh Allen in year two out there? 2600 02:05:36,800 --> 02:05:41,600 Speaker 1: I'm excited and to see Josh, Mitch, John Spain, everybody 2601 02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:45,840 Speaker 1: who's on that field. It's not just Josh, but uh, 2602 02:05:46,200 --> 02:05:50,520 Speaker 1: I'm excited to see everybody that's on that fields growth. 2603 02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:53,640 Speaker 1: And uh, there's eleven guys, so I'll be happy to 2604 02:05:53,720 --> 02:05:57,840 Speaker 1: see every eleventh guy doing what they do. Dan, thank you, 2605 02:05:57,920 --> 02:06:01,520 Speaker 1: appreciate it for sure. Steve back to you guys, all right, 2606 02:06:01,600 --> 02:06:04,280 Speaker 1: Maddi glab with Dion Dawkins. He's not giving it up. 2607 02:06:04,360 --> 02:06:07,440 Speaker 1: He's not giving up anything, no secrets. That's okay. Again, 2608 02:06:07,640 --> 02:06:10,640 Speaker 1: it's business like. It's a very businesslike attitude among these 2609 02:06:10,680 --> 02:06:14,160 Speaker 1: players today, That's what I'm reading. Yeah, I get the 2610 02:06:14,240 --> 02:06:18,840 Speaker 1: same feel they They are keeping their heads down out 2611 02:06:18,880 --> 02:06:21,880 Speaker 1: of the spotlight, their nose on the grindstone, and they're 2612 02:06:21,920 --> 02:06:25,480 Speaker 1: just trying to get to Sunday, yep, without giving anything away, 2613 02:06:25,760 --> 02:06:27,400 Speaker 1: just trying to get in there. Because I feel like 2614 02:06:27,880 --> 02:06:30,240 Speaker 1: it's the same for everybody. You feel like you're gonna 2615 02:06:30,600 --> 02:06:33,640 Speaker 1: unfurl who you really are on opening day and nobody 2616 02:06:33,760 --> 02:06:36,800 Speaker 1: knows until you do. So there is a bigger sense 2617 02:06:36,920 --> 02:06:40,440 Speaker 1: of a competitive advantage by keeping your mouth shut. Hey, 2618 02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:42,480 Speaker 1: let's get to NFL. True and False brought to you 2619 02:06:42,600 --> 02:06:45,160 Speaker 1: by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artists and Cheese. A couple 2620 02:06:45,200 --> 02:06:48,000 Speaker 1: of items in the news. The Rams with a big 2621 02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:51,360 Speaker 1: contract extension for Jared goff. The Rams should have been 2622 02:06:51,440 --> 02:06:54,720 Speaker 1: more patient with Jared goffing instead of extending them now 2623 02:06:55,120 --> 02:06:59,480 Speaker 1: they had two years left on his rookie deal. Guaranteed 2624 02:06:59,520 --> 02:07:02,000 Speaker 1: money one hundred ten million dollars the RAM gave him. 2625 02:07:02,040 --> 02:07:04,000 Speaker 1: The Rams gave Goff the most guaranteed money in the 2626 02:07:04,320 --> 02:07:06,960 Speaker 1: in NFL history. The Rams should have been more patient 2627 02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:10,240 Speaker 1: in extending Jared Goffin why do it now? True? False? Steve, 2628 02:07:10,280 --> 02:07:12,240 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say true. I'm gonna say it, and the 2629 02:07:12,320 --> 02:07:14,480 Speaker 1: writer for USA Today kind of articularly it's what I 2630 02:07:14,640 --> 02:07:17,200 Speaker 1: was saying earlier. The argument could be made. He writes 2631 02:07:17,560 --> 02:07:20,080 Speaker 1: that Goff excels for a handful of reasons that are 2632 02:07:20,160 --> 02:07:23,200 Speaker 1: beyond his control. He is a terrific system, He's in 2633 02:07:23,280 --> 02:07:25,480 Speaker 1: a terrific system. He has some of the best skilled 2634 02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:27,960 Speaker 1: players in the NFL, and his offensive line protects him 2635 02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:30,440 Speaker 1: for all those reasons. Look, I get it, I understand 2636 02:07:30,480 --> 02:07:31,760 Speaker 1: why you did it. You don't want to go down 2637 02:07:31,800 --> 02:07:33,680 Speaker 1: to the wire with Jared Goff. But I think it's 2638 02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:35,320 Speaker 1: a little early. I wouldn't want to see a little 2639 02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,040 Speaker 1: more evidence before I signed that extension. I'm going true 2640 02:07:38,040 --> 02:07:40,400 Speaker 1: with this. No, I'm gonna go false because I trust 2641 02:07:40,440 --> 02:07:43,200 Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh that he knows what he wants in Jared Goff, 2642 02:07:43,280 --> 02:07:45,560 Speaker 1: and Jared Goff may be the perfect guy for him, 2643 02:07:46,640 --> 02:07:50,760 Speaker 1: we don't know. Obviously, they're willing to give him whatever 2644 02:07:50,800 --> 02:07:53,360 Speaker 1: it's going to take to keep him happy. This is 2645 02:07:53,440 --> 02:07:56,320 Speaker 1: only it only amounts to six more years on his deal, 2646 02:07:56,400 --> 02:08:02,120 Speaker 1: so they'll revisit this. But the guaranteed money is an 2647 02:08:02,160 --> 02:08:07,080 Speaker 1: eye popping number. It's a record, and I think also 2648 02:08:07,240 --> 02:08:09,520 Speaker 1: I think Sean McVay and the Rams really feel like 2649 02:08:09,680 --> 02:08:13,160 Speaker 1: this window has to stay open, and golf is the 2650 02:08:13,280 --> 02:08:15,600 Speaker 1: key to it. I don't think they can do it 2651 02:08:15,960 --> 02:08:19,320 Speaker 1: unless they have a guy that they trust at that position. 2652 02:08:19,840 --> 02:08:22,720 Speaker 1: Whether they think he's the perfect guy or not. They 2653 02:08:22,800 --> 02:08:25,200 Speaker 1: think they can do it with him. And that's good enough, 2654 02:08:25,280 --> 02:08:26,840 Speaker 1: and they're gonna get They gave him the money. Get 2655 02:08:26,880 --> 02:08:29,560 Speaker 1: it done. Don't wait for the Dak Prescott deal, don't 2656 02:08:29,600 --> 02:08:31,000 Speaker 1: wait for any of that other stuff to happen. Just 2657 02:08:31,080 --> 02:08:32,680 Speaker 1: get it done. And I think they did the right things. 2658 02:08:33,600 --> 02:08:35,640 Speaker 1: You say false, I say true. One more time for 2659 02:08:35,760 --> 02:08:38,200 Speaker 1: one more NFL true or false? And this one deals 2660 02:08:38,240 --> 02:08:42,080 Speaker 1: with tomorrow night's game, Packers and Bears on NBC. Al 2661 02:08:42,160 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: Michael's Chris Collinsworth, Michelle Tafoya, the season opener, the one 2662 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,880 Speaker 1: of the season of the NFL. The question is it true? 2663 02:08:49,040 --> 02:08:52,360 Speaker 1: Is it falls false? Tomorrow night, Thursday Night Football, The 2664 02:08:52,480 --> 02:08:55,880 Speaker 1: return of the Collinsworth slide should be the early highlight. 2665 02:08:56,920 --> 02:08:59,400 Speaker 1: We have it on a video for those watching on 2666 02:09:00,240 --> 02:09:02,960 Speaker 1: on MSG. He does it every game. Chris Collinsworth in 2667 02:09:03,040 --> 02:09:06,680 Speaker 1: the opening slides right into the video. It's really I 2668 02:09:07,040 --> 02:09:09,480 Speaker 1: look every Sunday night when I wat Sunday night football. 2669 02:09:09,480 --> 02:09:12,200 Speaker 1: I look forward to that. I usually have a postgame 2670 02:09:12,280 --> 02:09:14,280 Speaker 1: cock kill in my hand and it's like, wait for it. 2671 02:09:14,360 --> 02:09:17,040 Speaker 1: Wait there, it is Chris Collinsworth. He slides into the 2672 02:09:17,120 --> 02:09:19,680 Speaker 1: frame every time. I didn't know this was a thing. Oh, 2673 02:09:19,720 --> 02:09:23,120 Speaker 1: it's a thing in my house. It gets the clause 2674 02:09:23,560 --> 02:09:26,240 Speaker 1: I did it. You didn't slide like that. I didn't 2675 02:09:26,240 --> 02:09:28,280 Speaker 1: slide as good as Chris Collinsworth. Otherwise I'd still be 2676 02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:31,800 Speaker 1: doing that job. But I used to. Didn't slide anymore, 2677 02:09:31,960 --> 02:09:34,160 Speaker 1: but I used to slide in with Gus Johnson. You 2678 02:09:34,200 --> 02:09:36,720 Speaker 1: would slide. Yeah. Did they teach you to slide? Is 2679 02:09:36,720 --> 02:09:39,360 Speaker 1: that a network skill set thing? Well? They when the 2680 02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:41,240 Speaker 1: scouting combined, it was one of the one of the 2681 02:09:41,320 --> 02:09:44,040 Speaker 1: things they had you do. Had a slide. No, No, 2682 02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:46,880 Speaker 1: that's a thing. You do it because here's what we 2683 02:09:47,000 --> 02:09:50,760 Speaker 1: did it. Because I feel like, because al Michaels does that, 2684 02:09:51,360 --> 02:09:54,280 Speaker 1: and it's probably in his contract that he had to 2685 02:09:54,440 --> 02:09:58,400 Speaker 1: be the first guy on with no Alan, that's probably 2686 02:09:58,480 --> 02:10:02,040 Speaker 1: in his contract. But because al Michaels does that, that 2687 02:10:02,200 --> 02:10:04,120 Speaker 1: Monday night football game when you come on and there 2688 02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:06,120 Speaker 1: is one guy who's the voice that you're gonna hear 2689 02:10:06,120 --> 02:10:09,320 Speaker 1: for the next three hours. It seems like a big deal, 2690 02:10:09,440 --> 02:10:11,600 Speaker 1: a big game to me. And when I was with Gus, 2691 02:10:12,960 --> 02:10:15,120 Speaker 1: I always said, now let's do that, because that start 2692 02:10:15,200 --> 02:10:17,560 Speaker 1: with that's the way we do it. So Gus is 2693 02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:18,960 Speaker 1: on and Gus would hit it out of the park 2694 02:10:19,000 --> 02:10:21,800 Speaker 1: and then I would slide in. Would you literally slide 2695 02:10:21,960 --> 02:10:26,320 Speaker 1: like youre am? Yes? Really, yeah, that's yeah. You're sitting. 2696 02:10:26,360 --> 02:10:27,640 Speaker 1: You always sit on the edge of the you know, 2697 02:10:27,760 --> 02:10:30,640 Speaker 1: the edge of the the counter where your boards are, 2698 02:10:30,720 --> 02:10:32,200 Speaker 1: you know, and you got to turn the monitors off 2699 02:10:32,240 --> 02:10:35,600 Speaker 1: behind you otherwise you get some funky effect. But you slide, Yeah, 2700 02:10:35,600 --> 02:10:37,480 Speaker 1: you just slide on over. So you will you look 2701 02:10:37,520 --> 02:10:39,640 Speaker 1: for that tomorrow night, Thursday night football. I may not 2702 02:10:39,760 --> 02:10:43,440 Speaker 1: catch the open, but to me, that's that's business as usual. 2703 02:10:43,480 --> 02:10:45,400 Speaker 1: It's not a big deal. Okay, Why is that a deal? 2704 02:10:45,760 --> 02:10:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm saying true. By the way of this, it should 2705 02:10:47,400 --> 02:10:51,400 Speaker 1: be the highlight. Why the highlights? Are you kidding? I'm 2706 02:10:51,400 --> 02:10:53,640 Speaker 1: gonna say false. I'm not before I before I fly 2707 02:10:53,760 --> 02:10:57,280 Speaker 1: off the handle, I'm gonna say false. It's the opening 2708 02:10:57,640 --> 02:10:59,840 Speaker 1: of the one hundredth year of the National Football League, 2709 02:11:00,240 --> 02:11:07,520 Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers against the Chicago bears. Nobody, Nobody 2710 02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:12,600 Speaker 1: cares that the announcer slides in on the open. I'm sorry, Okay, 2711 02:11:12,840 --> 02:11:16,760 Speaker 1: that's a false. That's not the high. That's a that's 2712 02:11:16,840 --> 02:11:18,720 Speaker 1: one of the weaker true falses. Although I didn't know 2713 02:11:18,760 --> 02:11:20,520 Speaker 1: it was a thing until I was doing that before 2714 02:11:20,640 --> 02:11:24,440 Speaker 1: Chriscons I didn't. I didn't invent it, but I perfected it. 2715 02:11:25,840 --> 02:11:28,080 Speaker 1: We're back in the morning Minute one Bill's Live presented 2716 02:11:28,120 --> 02:11:31,720 Speaker 1: by Kalida Health Live from the Seneca Studio, Seneca Resorts 2717 02:11:31,760 --> 02:11:47,560 Speaker 1: in Casino. Nothing comes close, Okay, So what do we 2718 02:11:47,640 --> 02:11:50,040 Speaker 1: learn from today's show. Well, we had Kim Jones on 2719 02:11:50,160 --> 02:11:52,960 Speaker 1: the show from NFL Network. She's here. She'll be covering 2720 02:11:53,000 --> 02:11:55,400 Speaker 1: the game all this week, including Sunday on the field 2721 02:11:55,840 --> 02:12:00,160 Speaker 1: at MetLife Stadium. Year two of Bill's quarterback Josh and 2722 02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:03,000 Speaker 1: Jets quarterback Sam Donald, Kim Jones talked about that once 2723 02:12:03,040 --> 02:12:07,320 Speaker 1: she joined us. Today, I just think they're so different, 2724 02:12:07,960 --> 02:12:12,200 Speaker 1: you know. I think that they go about it so differently. 2725 02:12:12,640 --> 02:12:15,320 Speaker 1: I think of Josh Allen as more of the physical 2726 02:12:15,440 --> 02:12:20,400 Speaker 1: player with his legs, who's going to dictate a little bit. Obviously, 2727 02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:23,240 Speaker 1: both players want the completion percentage from a year ago 2728 02:12:23,280 --> 02:12:25,520 Speaker 1: to go up for rookies. That's not uncommon, but the 2729 02:12:25,600 --> 02:12:27,800 Speaker 1: next year they take a jump in that regard. I 2730 02:12:27,840 --> 02:12:31,040 Speaker 1: think both teams are hoping that happens. I don't know 2731 02:12:31,040 --> 02:12:34,800 Speaker 1: about Allen sam Donald is a captain as a second 2732 02:12:34,840 --> 02:12:37,120 Speaker 1: year player. I do think that's significant for a team 2733 02:12:37,160 --> 02:12:39,240 Speaker 1: that's going to grow around him, and that has some 2734 02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:42,640 Speaker 1: really veteran players on defense, but not as many on 2735 02:12:42,760 --> 02:12:47,320 Speaker 1: offense really, So you know, I don't think he's better necessarily. 2736 02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:50,920 Speaker 1: I just think they're different, and I think the contrast 2737 02:12:51,120 --> 02:12:53,040 Speaker 1: is going to be fun on Sunday. Yeah, it's gonna 2738 02:12:53,040 --> 02:12:55,360 Speaker 1: be a lot of fun. Kim Jones Karen Johnson joined 2739 02:12:55,400 --> 02:12:58,120 Speaker 1: this earlier this hour Bill's Nickel Corner. He talked about 2740 02:12:58,160 --> 02:13:01,080 Speaker 1: the vibe around the Bills after a four or old preseason. 2741 02:13:01,160 --> 02:13:05,000 Speaker 1: Here's what he said. It just shows I feel like 2742 02:13:05,040 --> 02:13:07,160 Speaker 1: how much we've came together in the past, in the 2743 02:13:07,240 --> 02:13:11,240 Speaker 1: past year that that that's what I feel like separates 2744 02:13:11,320 --> 02:13:14,040 Speaker 1: us the most, is just how how close we are, 2745 02:13:14,360 --> 02:13:16,440 Speaker 1: how close knit group we are, and it always sucks 2746 02:13:16,480 --> 02:13:18,160 Speaker 1: to see that even though at the end of the 2747 02:13:18,200 --> 02:13:19,960 Speaker 1: preseason a lot of guys aren't going to be here. 2748 02:13:20,120 --> 02:13:22,200 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, So that's always tough because 2749 02:13:22,240 --> 02:13:24,000 Speaker 1: we were sold together and that's just the nature of 2750 02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,520 Speaker 1: the business. You want to keep fifty three fifty three guys. 2751 02:13:26,920 --> 02:13:31,320 Speaker 1: So we're just um. I feel like that that unity 2752 02:13:31,680 --> 02:13:35,360 Speaker 1: has really helped us.
