29
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: one Damian Harris, one of the new additions to the

30
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,000
Speaker 1: running back room, we'll be joining us. He's out there

31
00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 1: running around looking frisky, so we'll get a chance to

32
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: catch up with him and kind of talk about his

33
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 1: move intra division from the Patriots to the Bills and

34
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: how things are shaken out, what's the vibe like in

35
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:33,760
Speaker 1: that running back room. We look forward to talking to

36
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: him a little bit later on. There is plenty taking

37
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:43,600
Speaker 1: place around the league as well. We have some surprise

38
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 1: veteran cuts. We also have an injury to report from

39
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,000
Speaker 1: Jets camp, and it's a pretty important one, Jets quarterback

40
00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. Everybody's hyped for OTA practice. You got the

41
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,520
Speaker 1: national reporters descending on fair Lawn, New Jersey, to take

42
00:03:00,560 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: in the first media viewed OTA practice for the Jets,

43
00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,960
Speaker 1: and Aaron Rodgers tweaks his ankle and is on the sidelines.

44
00:03:09,080 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: Wamp all right, womp wamam.

45
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: So do you think Jet fans are on the precipice

46
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 2: of the empire state.

47
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,320
Speaker 1: Building right now? The Brooklyn Bridger, Right, Okay, I'm not.

48
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 2: In fact, I'm thinking, Wow, it's pretty awesome for the

49
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: Jets that he's actually engaged enough to actually break into

50
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 2: a trot to tweak his ankle. Right, Because I'm telling

51
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 2: you what, if he's playing this season for the Packers

52
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:35,160
Speaker 2: and it's the OTA's there, not only is he not there,

53
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: if he is there, he's sitting in a lawn chair.

54
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 2: The fact that he's actually on his feet taking reps

55
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 2: for the Jets at a high enough pace to tweak

56
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: his ankle, I gotta think, like, hey, my boy, my

57
00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 2: boy wants to play awesome, So.

58
00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:55,120
Speaker 1: Does he or does any like did he tweak his ankle?

59
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 4: Oh?

60
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,920
Speaker 2: You think he's did he?

61
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: You think he's a malingerer. I'm just saying it's lingering.

62
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: I'm just saying new guy in the door said, just

63
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago, well I'll make I'll make

64
00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: most of the ot as most of them. Okay, I'm just.

65
00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: You know, wow, you I'm just you are I'm a

70

71
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:35,640
Speaker 1: probably rolled it on a roller.

72
00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, first question is if it was the regular season,

73
00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,640
Speaker 2: could you play now.

74

85
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: be Barnman Bailey down there, just for fun, show.

86
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: Up to the media availability on a little one need

87
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 2: scooter with a jet logo on the scooter.

88
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm I'm just telling you it's gonna be

89
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,280
Speaker 1: Barnman Bailey down there.

90
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: Would be so.

91
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: Fall season long, everything is gonna be magnified a thousand times,

92
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:37,720
Speaker 1: and Jets fans are gonna be it's gonna be stress

93
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:41,160
Speaker 1: and anxiety like they've never had before. He's so fragile.

94
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, Well I never make it through regular season.

95
00:05:43,880 --> 00:05:46,880
Speaker 1: There'll be a lot of that. Meanwhile, there was a

96
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: veteran cut today made by the Denver Broncos. They released

97
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 1: nine year kicker Brandon McManus, who's had a lot of

98
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 1: good success up there in Denver. He tweeted out that

99
00:05:58,279 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: he was informed he has been released, so he is

100
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: out there. I would anticipate somebody who's not happy with

101
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:07,920
Speaker 1: their kicker situation would scoop him up pretty quickly, So

102
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: we'll see if and when that happens through the course

103
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: of the spring. And then Steve, as we know, this

104
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 1: got a lot of run late yesterday after we were

105
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:21,799
Speaker 1: off the air, the NFL owners approve flexing of Thursday

106
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 1: night football games during eligible weeks thirteen through seventeen of

107
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: the regular season. So essentially, it'll allow the league to

108
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: flip a Sunday afternoon game into a Thursday night and

109
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: move the originally scheduled game back to a Sunday afternoon

110
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 1: during weeks thirteen through seventeen, the thing that God had

111
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,720
Speaker 1: passed was they increased the days of notice from fifteen

112
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: to twenty eight days, an increase of almost two weeks

113
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,960
Speaker 1: from the earlier proposal. There were a lot of owners

114
00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: that were skeptical about disrupting the plans of their fans.

115
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: John marrichief among them, the Giants.

116
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:03,760
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.

117
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: It is a real thing.

118
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 2: It's a real thing.

119
00:07:05,640 --> 00:07:09,000
Speaker 1: Especially think about how many Bills fans absolutely from out

120
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,840
Speaker 1: of town come to home games.

121
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 2: Well not only out of town, but I think back

122
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty season that we didn't get an

123
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,320
Speaker 2: experience as a fan base. You're going to Denver, You're

124
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: going to La, You're going to Vegas, You're going to Tennessee.

125
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 2: Those are four spectacular cities to go. And if you're

126
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: going for a Thursday night game, long weekend on the

127
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 2: Front Range in Colorado, Denver, Boulder, Colorado, s all that, Vegas, La,

128
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 2: San Francisco, and Nashville. So you got a Thursday night game,

129
00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: You're like going, Man, it's awesome. And like I had

130
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 2: buddies who had were under the impression that we get

131
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:54,560
Speaker 2: the schedule early, right, So there's like, hey, if you

132
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: find I'm like, what if you find out, tell me

133
00:07:58,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 2: so i can get on there and make my play.

134
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna make the trip, like yeah, whatever, No.

135
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: I can't do that. So but that's people do. Yeah,

136
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,600
Speaker 2: So it's a real thing for not just for Buffalo fans,

137
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:15,040
Speaker 2: which everybody knows. They we travel great, we do all

138
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 2: that stuff. Every fan base is like that, and it's

139
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: a real problem. So I don't know. I agree the

140
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 2: twenty eight days makes it. Okay, that's a little better. Yeah,

141
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 2: but the fifteen days was it was good, but it's

142
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 2: not twenty eight days.

143
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: As far as the restrictions go, no team will be

144
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 1: required to flex a Thursday night game more than one time,

145
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: and the maximum number of Thursday Night games remains at

146
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:45,959
Speaker 1: two for a team per season. So the Bills already

147
00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:47,880
Speaker 1: have one. I believe it's a Tampa Bay game. Is

148
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:52,120
Speaker 1: the Thursday night game, right, So really, between weeks thirteen

149
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: and seventeen, there's probably only one potential option down there

150
00:08:56,160 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the schedule that could get conceivably

151
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,200
Speaker 1: flexed because you know, the Cowboys are already playing. I

152
00:09:06,200 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: think the Cowboys might already be playing on two Thursdays,

153
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,840
Speaker 1: so they're out. So it won't be that game. Yeah,

154
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: I'm thinking it's going to be a game like the

155
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: Patriots game. Maybe by New Year's Eve.

156
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:23,800
Speaker 2: Yes, maybe it could be the Patriots game. It could

157
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,040
Speaker 2: be it could be a it won't be the Chargers game.

158
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,120
Speaker 2: But the Bills are at four to twenty five already.

159
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,000
Speaker 1: Right, And you have to believe a lot of those

160
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 1: games are the ones that are protected by the networks.

161
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: Is this because they can protect a handful of game?

162
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 2: Heure this up for me, Browne. It used to be

163
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 2: like they had to wait to flex games until later

164
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,440
Speaker 2: in the season. They're telling me this didn't happen anytime.

165
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: Oh, this is week thirteen to seventeen to flex Thursday

166
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: night games.

167
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 2: Well, the Bills are by on thirteen, week thirteen. Yeah,

168
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,640
Speaker 2: then they got Fat Helps four five PM, four to

169
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 2: twenty five PM, and I would PM.

170
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: And I would tend to think that those four to

171
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:58,440
Speaker 1: twenty fives are the ones that the networks are protecting. Well,

172
00:09:58,440 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, they get a handful of

173
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 1: games they can protect every year. Those four to twenty five's,

174
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: those get the biggest ratings. They get more ratings than

175
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:06,199
Speaker 1: the prime time game.

176
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's four to twenty five at Kansas City,

177
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:10,840
Speaker 2: Bills at Kansas City and moving.

178
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,679
Speaker 1: Ain't nobody missing that game.

179
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: The next week it's at its home against the Cowboys.

180
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:21,640
Speaker 2: Ain't nobody missing. Ain't nobody moving that game. The networks

181
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 2: will chain themselves to the desk before they let that

182
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 2: game moved. You know, CBS is gonna have that game,

183
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 2: if whoever's got it. Now I think it's a CBS game.

184
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:36,080
Speaker 2: I mean, there's just no way, no way they're letting

185
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,880
Speaker 2: those games move. And then you got to you know,

186
00:10:37,920 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: then it's December twenty third, the Sunday night game against LA,

187
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:43,720
Speaker 2: all those all those games, you may as well chisel

188
00:10:43,760 --> 00:10:50,680
Speaker 2: those in. Granted they ain't moving now New England December

189
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,800
Speaker 2: thirty first, New Year's Eve.

190
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: Possible that one could move.

191
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:03,360
Speaker 2: Now, yeah, now now I hesitate right now.

192
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 1: Oh you're good, but think about it.

193
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 2: Twenty eight days before that would be one two three.

194
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: That's the bye week. Bill's bye week was when they

195
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,880
Speaker 2: got a call. They've got to make the call on

196
00:11:15,920 --> 00:11:18,000
Speaker 2: the Bills Patriots game getting flexed.

197
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:22,199
Speaker 1: I also saw a write up that said the league,

198
00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:28,160
Speaker 1: based on its record keeping, Thursday night flexed games average

199
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,720
Speaker 1: one point seven a season and they did say the

200
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:38,960
Speaker 1: Thursday night flex will be used judiciously if at all, Wait.

201
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: Wait, if at all, come on, bro, if at all,

202
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 2: they just.

203
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: There were a lot of crappy Thursday night games last year,

204
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: so I think they're going to be moving one if

205
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: it's looking crappy a lot.

206
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:53,240
Speaker 2: But they can't do it until week thirteen anyway. Yeah,

207
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,719
Speaker 2: so you know nobody's gonna care for the first three

208
00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:57,840
Speaker 2: months of the season.

209
00:11:57,960 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: So I get it.

210
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: But if at all, come on, then they may flex

211
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 2: every single one of those jokers. Yeah, because nobody's gonna

212
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:06,959
Speaker 2: remember that.

213
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: Maddie and I were talking about this on the show yesterday,

214
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: the proposal to make every kickoff that is fair caught

215
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 1: automatic drive start at the twenty five yard line. Coaches,

216
00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: special teams coordinator's chief among them, were vehemently against this

217
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:27,000
Speaker 1: proposal because you take some strategy out of the game.

218
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:31,120
Speaker 1: The Bills were a big proponent of this approach last year.

219
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:34,640
Speaker 1: They would often have Tyler Bass pop the kick up

220
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:38,319
Speaker 1: short of the goal line on purpose to force a return,

221
00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 1: knowing their coverage unit was good enough to stop that

222
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: player before he got to the twenty five yard line.

223
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: Who was an opportunity for them to hand their opponent

224
00:12:47,400 --> 00:12:51,640
Speaker 1: a lesser drive start than a touchback, and they employed

225
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 1: that quite often last year and even the year before

226
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,800
Speaker 1: to some degree. That's out the window now with this

227
00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,320
Speaker 1: new rule proposal, because now any kickoff caught on a fly,

228
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,520
Speaker 1: the guy fair catches it wherever he is. He gets

229
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: it at the twenty five yard line. Now there is

230
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: a workaround. It's basically a line driver as squib kick, right,

231
00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the only way around.

232
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 2: If the ball bounces, you can't fair catch it. So

233
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 2: if they can get a one hopper down there or

234
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 2: hit a ground or that the old one thousands sideways

235
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: and all over the place, you know, then you know

236
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:23,680
Speaker 2: they still have to feel it and get it out.

237
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 2: But you can obviously see the problem for special teams coordinators.

238
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 2: They're like when you're taking away thirty a third of

239
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:38,000
Speaker 2: our third of the game, and teams will have philosophical

240
00:13:38,080 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 2: choices to make.

241
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:42,079
Speaker 1: Are you going to ground that ball down there.

242
00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 2: And still cover the kick and take a chance on

243
00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,920
Speaker 2: getting him at the fifteen rather than the twenty five

244
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:49,680
Speaker 2: and giving your opponent an extra first down to make

245
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm just oversimplifying, or do you just say, eh, that

246
00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,840
Speaker 2: means we can have more roster spots for guys who

247
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:02,120
Speaker 2: play regular down in distance rather than special teams. The Bills,

248
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,720
Speaker 2: you can, and it was their philosophical choice in the

249
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,360
Speaker 2: years past. As you mentioned, you can tell by watching

250
00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 2: film if their kick return team is a token effort

251
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 2: or if they've got serious competitors on that thing. And

252
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 2: anytime they faced a team that didn't have serious competitors,

253
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 2: they kicked that ball in play and say, you know,

254
00:14:27,240 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 2: let's see what you got. And they and they got some.

255
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:34,480
Speaker 2: They got some really really good mileage yardage wise out

256
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 2: of their kickoff coverage team because they took it seriously.

257
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:40,240
Speaker 2: And there was a couple of other teams they played

258
00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:43,720
Speaker 2: that didn't. And you can you just watch watch the strategy.

259
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 2: If they're if they're the Bills are kicking it short

260
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 2: in these games, it's a strong statement to the other

261
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,960
Speaker 2: team that you stink on kickoff return.

262
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: Yeah. And just getting back to the rule that was

263
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 1: adopted and approved, the main impetus for the Competition Committee

264
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 1: and probably the league to some degree is to once

265
00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 1: again increase player safety. The kickoff is still one of

266
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: the higher rate of concussion plays in the game. Even now,

267
00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: and so by instituting the fair catch, you're taking one

268
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: more collision play out of the game. The problem is

269
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: you're also taking that play out of the game, right,

270
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: I mean, And even Rich McKay, the Competition Committee chair,

271
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:37,200
Speaker 1: acknowledged that. He said, yeah, you don't want this play

272
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:39,640
Speaker 1: out of the game. Special teams has been a really

273
00:15:39,720 --> 00:15:43,320
Speaker 1: good part of our game. But it looks like safety

274
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 1: is going to trump that, at least for now. We'll

275
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 1: see how this goes this year. But I don't know

276
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:50,320
Speaker 1: about you, Steve, but I think we're going to see

277
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 1: more squib kicks on kickoffs than we've ever seen before

278
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 1: that are not even on sides kicks.

279
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,920
Speaker 2: The problem is this, and it goes back to, you know,

280
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,720
Speaker 2: a few years ago when they change the kickoff from

281
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 2: the running start to the standing start. The most that

282
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: most recent kickoff change because of the game, because it

283
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 2: was the most dangerous play of the game. It's still

284
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 2: the most dangerous play. And the question was then what

285
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: about the ripple effects? Okay, so we fix kickoffs and

286
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: it and it really ceases to exist as we've known it.

287
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 2: It's a it's a ceremonial change over. They kick it,

288
00:16:26,280 --> 00:16:28,600
Speaker 2: they fair catch it and we start the game again,

289
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 2: or they kick it, goes out of the end zone

290
00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: and we start the game again. We kick it, goes

291
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: out of bounds, they start the whatever it is, and

292
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,320
Speaker 2: there's never a kickoff return in a game. Again. The

293
00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:44,360
Speaker 2: problem is this, Once you do that, then it becomes this,

294
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,920
Speaker 2: what's the what's the next most dangerous play of the game.

295
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:51,680
Speaker 1: You just keep going, now.

296
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 2: We're gonna oh it's this, Okay, well we're gonna yeah

297
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:57,360
Speaker 2: then there then okay, then what's the next most dangerous play?

298
00:16:57,800 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 2: What's the next most dangerous play? And you start going

299
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: down that hill and there's no stop in it.

300
00:17:03,840 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 3: Right.

301
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:10,720
Speaker 2: So there's that, and that seems light years away until

302
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 2: you start thinking about how fast it's starting to move now.

303
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: Right, And just to provide some research on this, Rich McKay,

304
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: the Competition Committee chair, said, the highest return rate in

305
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: nine years was last season. This is an example of

306
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,159
Speaker 1: the unintended consequences, Steve. They make touchbacks go out to

307
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:34,160
Speaker 1: the twenty five instead of the twenty and now you've

308
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: got more teams saying, well, I'm not handing it to

309
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:37,400
Speaker 1: them at the twenty five. If I got a good

310
00:17:37,400 --> 00:17:39,520
Speaker 1: coverage unit, I'm gonna kick it off and make him

311
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 1: field it right, so the unintended consequences highest return rate

312
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:47,879
Speaker 1: on kickoffs in nine years last season, that drove up

313
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: the concussion rate because there's more collision plays on the

314
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: kickoff play. The rate on kickoffs for concussions is more

315
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: than double than on an average football play. To see why,

316
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:02,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's why they're after it.

317
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 2: When you've got when you've got guys covering kickoffs, even

318
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,679
Speaker 2: with the new rules, you've got guys on the return

319
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: team and guys on the coverage team that are running

320
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,720
Speaker 2: towards each other. Although they've mitigated some of that because

321
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: everybody has to retreat to the ball, but you got

322
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: guys banging into each other at full speed and they

323
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,280
Speaker 2: ain't trying to avoid. They're trying to hit each other

324
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: at full speed. That's dangers. That's obviously where you get problems.

325
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 2: In regular down and distance, that's not the case. Somebody's

326
00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 2: always trying to avoid the other guy, but in kickoff

327
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,640
Speaker 2: it's not. They're both the return blockers and the coverage

328
00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 2: guys are really trying to hit each other hard and

329
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:44,840
Speaker 2: without avoidance, and.

330
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: Your prediction of them moving to the next most dangerous

331
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 1: play is spot on. Here's NFL executive Jeff Miller. He

332
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: cites the higher concussion rates on kickoffs and punts relative

333
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: to other plays, and then said to a pack of

334
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,960
Speaker 1: media members at the league meetings, there may be more

335
00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 1: to come. They've run models, by the way, already on

336
00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:13,880
Speaker 1: what this fair catch on a kickoff would do, and

337
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 1: he said that the models say that the return rate

338
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 1: will drop from thirty eight to thirty one percent, and

339
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 1: that the concussion rate, based on the models, will drop

340
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:29,800
Speaker 1: fifteen percent. So they've already run models on instituting this

341
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: new rule. How does it look? How many returns are

342
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,400
Speaker 1: we looking at? What are the percentages of return? Et cetera,

343
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:35,399
Speaker 1: et cetera, etceterating.

344
00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,160
Speaker 2: Because yeah, like I said, I think teams that trust

345
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 2: their special teams will find a way to force that

346
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: team to return it. And I don't know what you gain.

347
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:50,480
Speaker 1: Then, Yeah, it's a shame. I mean, it used to

348
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:52,360
Speaker 1: be one of the most exciting plays in football.

349
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 2: Think about it. The Bills don't win the Patriot game

350
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 2: last year unless they have two kickoff return for touchdowns. Yeah, yeah,

351
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 2: now think about if he catches it and stuff, it's

352
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 2: you know then it turns into it.

353
00:20:03,359 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: You gotta go seventy five yards stick it in the

354
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: end zone.

355
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so I don't know. The league continues to

356
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 2: evolve as it goes forward. It has always evolved in

357
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: a direction that has made the game more attractive rather

358
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,479
Speaker 2: than less attractive. And if you try and look at

359
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,600
Speaker 2: it in a dispassionate way, you see the you see

360
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 2: the logic behind the move. But like I said, all

361
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 2: of a sudden, you know you're going down a slippery slope.

362
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:38,400
Speaker 2: If the game remains attractive for reasons other than kickoffs

363
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 2: and special teams and stuff, then I think the league

364
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:42,919
Speaker 2: is okay with it. Okay, that's fine. It'll look different,

365
00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,239
Speaker 2: but it's going to be just as interesting. Fans are

366
00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 2: going to be just as crazy for it, if not

367
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:51,159
Speaker 2: more crazy for it. Then the league will say, you know,

368
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 2: they're fine. They're not They're not going to lose too

369
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 2: much sleep over it. If the game looks different, they

370
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 2: don't care. If it continues to be as interesting as

371
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,240
Speaker 2: it has been in the past, certainly there'll be old guys,

372
00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 2: you know, of my generation or whatever that'll be sitting

373
00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:10,920
Speaker 2: there shape, you know, yelling at clouds. Basically, that'll always say,

374
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,719
Speaker 2: well back when I play, you know, I don't want

375
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 2: to be one of the I'm not one of those guys,

376
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 2: even though I mean I'm I mean I covered my

377
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: share of kicks, probably more than my share of kicks

378
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 2: in my career. The entirety of the game and the

379
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:26,760
Speaker 2: interest that it generates with the fans is way more

380
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:30,199
Speaker 2: important than me seeing some young guy do what I

381
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 2: did as a kid. So I i'm I have to

382
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: I have to kind of search myself and say, you

383
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 2: know what, I'll trust them that the game is going

384
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:45,040
Speaker 2: to continue to be really really interesting and fun and

385
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: exciting and all of that for everybody without that which

386
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 2: I did for a long time. That's a hard thing

387
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 2: to do, but I'm ready to. I'll give them, I'll watch,

388
00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 2: I'll see what it goes. I'll give it a chance

389
00:22:01,119 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: because I also have some form of empathy for those

390
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,480
Speaker 2: guys who have gotten concussed on occasion.

391
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:12,520
Speaker 1: Let's discuss OTAs today Organized team activity day number one

392
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: that the media could see. Sean McDermott addressed the media

393
00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:20,199
Speaker 1: earlier prior to practice, and I would say among the

394
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: more interesting things that he divulged Steve was he is

395
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: very impressed with Trudeavius White and how he looks coming in.

396
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:35,159
Speaker 1: And I was watching Truevius out there today, and we

397
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: always know he's always pushing to try to find like

398
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 1: whether it's the next level of fitness, the next level

399
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: of technique, you know, whatever the case might be. Today

400
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,520
Speaker 1: he's got and with our MSG viewers he might be

401
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:53,960
Speaker 1: able to see this. He's got attention band around his thighs.

402
00:22:54,560 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: He was running through several drills today wearing this risis

403
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 1: resistance band around his thighs. I mean that position is

404
00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 1: hard enough to play in a crouched position, running in

405
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:12,399
Speaker 1: reverse and trying to stride, turn, flip your hips, all

406
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,520
Speaker 1: of that stuff. He decides, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna

407
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: go put these bands on my thighs and run with

408
00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:17,720
Speaker 1: these things.

409
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you think about it. And I saw him do

410
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 2: it a little bit last year in his rehab, and

411
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: I thought, well, he's rehabit now. It makes a lot

412
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,480
Speaker 2: of sense to do that in practice, because can you

413
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: imagine taking that thing off on how you feel.

414
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,560
Speaker 1: Like a doughnut on a bat for a baseball player, right.

415
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:34,399
Speaker 2: It's gotta feel great. And he's not the only one

416
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 2: I've seen do it at times. I've never seen a guy.

417
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,240
Speaker 1: Go entire through half a practice like that.

418
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 2: He's got to feel so much better about his himself

419
00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:50,639
Speaker 2: and where he's at these days than he did a

420
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: year ago at this time. Right, It's good to see

421
00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 2: him out there. But that's it's just one more way

422
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 2: of these guys, you know, staying on the cutting edge,

423
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: doing all the latest stuff, coming up with great ideas

424
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 2: that make a lot of sense.

425
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 1: Coach was asked about Trey White specifically, and he said

426
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:15,600
Speaker 1: he's had a tremendous offseason. Nothing with Trey surprises me.

427
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: He had a big challenge last year and to now

428
00:24:18,920 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: take it to another level this offseason has been impressive.

429
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,239
Speaker 1: I mean, he's just been here the last couple of

430
00:24:24,240 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 1: weeks and he's already impressed. So man, having that guy

431
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: from the jump at the start of the season. Yeah,

432
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,439
Speaker 1: it's funny. I'm watching these random dudes get interviewed, like

433
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 1: Dominique Rogers. Cromarty is like training somewhere in South Florida.

434
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,120
Speaker 1: He's not playing anymore, and somebody asks him, oh, who's

435
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: your top five corners in the league, and he goes,

436
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 1: Xavian Howard, Jalen Ramsey, Sauce Gardner and then he says

437
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 1: DJ Reid and then he picked somebody randomly from the NFC,

438
00:24:56,320 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: and I'm like, look, DJ Reid's a nice corner Okay,

439
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: good player. He ain't Trey White, Like, come on, what

440
00:25:03,640 --> 00:25:07,440
Speaker 1: are we doing? Like the guy plays Look, I understand

441
00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: out of sight, out of mind, and Tray didn't get

442
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: on the field until Thanksgiving last year. But come on, dude,

443
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,640
Speaker 1: it's not like the guy doesn't have a body of work. Yeah,

444
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: it's just it's such recency bias. It's like, do you

445
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: forget how good this guy is?

446
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: Well? They do, yeah, they do, and they you know,

448
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,920

449
00:25:33,200 --> 00:25:34,879

457
00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: you forget you forget that they were thirteen and three

458
00:26:12,280 --> 00:26:15,200
Speaker 2: and they were mowing people. I mean, they were hard

459
00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 2: to beat even when they played bad, and they were

460
00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,320
Speaker 2: just mowing people down, and they were coasting in the

461
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 2: second half of these games. I mean you look at

462
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 2: the Packer game with Aaron Rodgers. They absolutely took it

463
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,359
Speaker 2: out of gear early in the third quarter, and the

464
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: Packers scored late to bring it to a ten point deficit.

465
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:40,080
Speaker 2: I mean it was they were they were an anaconda, man.

466
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 2: I mean, they just squeezed the life out of these teams,

467
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,720
Speaker 2: and that this guy. When you look out there, you

468
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,520
Speaker 2: look at these roster and all these guys, watching these

469
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,400
Speaker 2: guys run around.

470
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: Like I was looking at we were looking at the

471
00:26:49,160 --> 00:26:50,440
Speaker 1: offensive line right out of the gate.

472
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 2: Today.

473
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:57,080

474
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,960
Speaker 1: is a lot larger than you anticipated.

475
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 2: David Edwards is like twice as thick as Spencer Brown

476
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:05,920
Speaker 2: and he's almost as tall. The guy looks like a moose.

Speaker 2: He's like eight yeah, he's I got eight feet tall

478

479
00:27:15,000 --> 00:27:19,200
Speaker 2: guy's huge. And Spencer Brown is sitting next to him,

480
00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 2: and he got you know, Mitch Morris. Mitch Morris looked

481
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 2: like the ball boy Mitch by the way, six y

482
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,680
Speaker 2: five three bills, and he looked like, I wonder who

483

484
00:27:38,160 --> 00:27:42,600

485
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 2: as wide as the soles of his fees. He is

486
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 2: his shoulders.

487

00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:51,399
Speaker 1: So they got this.

489
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,040
Speaker 2: So Brandon Bean's out there watching and he's you know,

490
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 2: I mean, they have crafted a roster. If you know

491
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 2: what in min me of. You know, it reminds me

492
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 2: of like the old NFC with the old when I

493
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,200
Speaker 2: used to put with the old Redskins and the Giants

494
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 2: and the cowboy. They got all these huge, big beefy

495
00:28:11,280 --> 00:28:15,720
Speaker 2: gas running the counter tray. You know, they're gonna hand

496
00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: it off thirty times. They're gonna hand it off thirty times,

497
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,360
Speaker 2: and they're gonna throw it twenty and they're gonna beat

498
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 2: Their running back is gonna have thirty five carries for

499
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:27,920
Speaker 2: one hundred and three yards.

500
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 1: And they're gonna get twenty three to two. That's right,

501
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 1: that's what they look like.

502
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:37,600
Speaker 2: They look like this big just steam rollers, right, and

503
00:28:37,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 2: you know they're not gonna you know, they're gonna throw

504
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 2: it now. All they're gonna do is throw it. But

505
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: they look like this.

506
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's you forget I guess.

507
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 2: You know, in the last four months, since the season

508
00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: got over and you got all these new guys, you

509
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 2: go out there, it's like, look at this. Look at

510
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 2: these guys.

511
00:28:54,240 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 1: Even the size at the receiver position, it's exciting. Looks different. Yeah,

512
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: Dave Davis was, you know, the lone tall guy on

513
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: the squad last year, and now you've got a whole

514
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 1: slew of guys. You got some trees out there.

515
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 2: Braden Johnson looks like he looked I said.

516
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: He's kind of put together. He's not super tall. He

517
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:17,160
Speaker 1: looks like he looks like Andre Reid. That's how thicky

518
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 1: similar build. Yeah. But Trent Sherfield he's only six to one.

519
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: He's in in shorter than Gave Davis. But then dest

520
00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: Justin shorter six four, Desmond pass six five, Tyrell Shavers

521
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,680
Speaker 1: is six six, and then you got like two or

522
00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: three john two six three Isaiah Colter got some trees

523
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,480
Speaker 1: out there. They got there.

524
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 2: They're really I was that's what we were talking about

525
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 2: this as we were walking in here to do the

526
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 2: show off the practice field. I was like, you know,

527
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,760
Speaker 2: that's the first thing that struck me because I you know,

528
00:29:44,760 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 2: I played that spot, or at least six days a

529
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,720
Speaker 2: week I played that spot wide receiver. Was the size

530
00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 2: across the board of all their wideouts, all of them.

531
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:55,760
Speaker 1: Because you think about it, last year they a lot

532
00:29:55,760 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: of guys that were more diminutive in stature, and they

533
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: still have some of those shorter, quicker guys. I mean

534
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:08,200
Speaker 1: Deontay Hardy's example of that. Khalilshakir is not exactly a giant.

535
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: I don't think he's a smurf either. He's kind of

536
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 1: somewhere in between, right, you know, and then Diggs, who's

537
00:30:14,360 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: like five to eleven. But after that, everybody's either thick

538
00:30:20,320 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 1: and packed or tall. Yeah, and it's interesting to see that, Yeah,

539
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: change in body composition at a position from one year

540
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: to the next.

541
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 2: And it's easy to sit here and say, wow, they

542
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:31,800
Speaker 2: made some I don't know if they made any kind

543
00:30:31,840 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: of philosophical decision at all, except they just went out

544
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 2: and find the best guys they could, and they all

545
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,200
Speaker 2: happen to be tall, or there's there's one or two

546
00:30:38,280 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: guys that they go deeper in that trait than they

547
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,560
Speaker 2: have in the past. I don't know that they made

548
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 2: some sort of decision in that regard, but I'm telling

549
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 2: you what, it's evident that the guys they signed this

550
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 2: year to come in and compete for a spot all

551
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,800
Speaker 2: have one overriding trait and that suns.

552
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. So we will take a break here. We hope

553
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: to catch up with Damian Harris fresh off the practice field,

554
00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 1: get him in studio so we can learn a little

555
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,160
Speaker 1: bit more about him his journey from New England to Buffalo.

556
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,800
Speaker 1: When we return here on One Bill's Live presented by

557
00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: Colia Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back

558
00:31:32,280 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live here on Organized Team Activity day

559
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,520
Speaker 1: number one that was at least viewable by the media.

560
00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,280
Speaker 1: Steve and I were out there taking in most of

561
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:43,960
Speaker 1: the session, and it was good to kind of get

562
00:31:43,960 --> 00:31:47,120
Speaker 1: our first look at Dalton Kincaid. We didn't mention this

563
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 1: at the top of the show, but the Bills also

564
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: signed an undrafted rookie free agent tight end by the

565
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: name of Joel Wilson out of Central Michigan. This was

566
00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:03,120
Speaker 1: a highly coveted priority free agent after the draft was over.

567
00:32:03,600 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: According to reports, the Saints were prepared to give him

568
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: a ninety thousand dollars signing bonus when they originally agreed

569
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:17,440
Speaker 1: to terms. Unfortunately, he did not pass their physical and

570
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: so he never signed with the Saints and the Bills

571
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: ultimately scooped him up. Obviously, he passed Buffalo's physical because

572
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 1: he was out there practicing today. He had a bad

573
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: ankle injury in November in his last season at Central

574
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:38,400
Speaker 1: Michigan and unfortunately missed the rest of the season. Didn't

575
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,600
Speaker 1: get to do any testing in the pre draft run up,

576
00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: so that no doubt impacted his draft stock, even though

577
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 1: he was considered a Day three type prospect anyway. But

578
00:32:48,680 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: the interesting thing about Joel Wilson, just reading up on

579
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,800
Speaker 1: him a little bit Steve and watching some of his tape,

580
00:32:54,520 --> 00:32:59,120
Speaker 1: it's similar to the skill set that I think we

581
00:32:59,200 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: see from Dalton Kate. I don't think he's quite the athlete,

582
00:33:01,640 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: but it's interesting. It seems like they're looking for a

583
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,280
Speaker 1: type of receiver, so that's what you know at the

584
00:33:07,400 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 1: at the tight end position. I guess is what I'm saying,

585
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 1: because he made a share of plays for sure, so.

586
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,440
Speaker 2: And that's the ankle injury is presumably why he would

587
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:16,640
Speaker 2: not pass.

588
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: The physical for the Saints, Right, that's my assumption.

589
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 2: It seems a temporary obstacle.

590
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh, sliding in like a Chris collins Worth Monday

591
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: night slide into the booth is Damian Harris, one of

592
00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo's newest running backs. Join in the fray of this

593
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: past off season. The pride of Richmond, Kentucky is here?

594
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: And then how far a drive is it from Richmond?

595
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,840
Speaker 1: Have you done the driver? Did you fly in most

596
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: of the time?

597
00:33:44,320 --> 00:33:46,200
Speaker 3: Well, so, I actually I flew in from Miami.

598
00:33:46,360 --> 00:33:47,640
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, because that's where you are now.

599
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 5: Yes, sir, I was training down there. But you know,

600
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 5: my mom and my younger sisters actually just drove up

601
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 5: a couple of days ago. So I think it's like

602
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,160
Speaker 5: a like a seven and a half hour hour drive.

603
00:33:56,240 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 3: So not horrible the home game, No, No, it's not.

604
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,200
Speaker 1: Certainly a lot close than Foxborough.

605
00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 3: Yeah that was like fifteen sixteen. Yeah.

606
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:06,960
Speaker 5: What I will say though, my mom and my sisters,

607
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 5: they got in the car and they made the road trip,

608
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 5: you know, as often as they could. Yeah, shout out

609
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 5: to my mom.

610
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and.

611
00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: They're saying good for you cut their driving half. So

612
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:19,360
Speaker 1: you got you're coming off the Price field. What are

613
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 1: your first impressions?

614
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 2: How's it going?

615
00:34:20,840 --> 00:34:21,319
Speaker 1: Early going?

616
00:34:21,440 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 2: What are your like? What do you notice about this

617
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,160
Speaker 2: organization coming in cold?

618
00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 5: You know, it's been great so far, you know, the

619
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:31,480
Speaker 5: city of Buffalo, the Bills, the organization, and my teammates,

620
00:34:31,480 --> 00:34:34,760
Speaker 5: the coaches. Everybody is welcomed me with open arms. And

621
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 5: you know, I think that that's just been the biggest

622
00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 5: you know upside for me, uh in this transition is

623
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:43,440
Speaker 5: just everybody welcoming me with open arms. And you know,

624
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 5: I think with my history and my track record of

625
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,480
Speaker 5: playing here in Orchard Park, you know, it seems like

626
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 5: everybody's excited for me to be on the Bills now.

627
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 5: So you know, I think everybody knows I've had some

628
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 5: of my best games here.

629
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 4: So yeah, I remember.

630
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,759
Speaker 5: Right, you know, hopefully hopefully now that I'm here, you know,

631
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 5: I'm here and I'm settled, maybe maybe we'll have a

632
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:03,720
Speaker 5: lot more of those big time games.

633
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: The Bills were you know, they were a top two

634
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:08,200
Speaker 1: offense in the league. Last year they were a top

635
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:10,799
Speaker 1: ten offense in the red zone. And I know the

636
00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,240
Speaker 1: Patriots for years on end have always excelled on offense

637
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: end defense for that matter, in the red area. Like

638
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: Coach Belichick's really good at putting together productive teams in

639
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:23,760
Speaker 1: those areas of the field for obvious reasons. And number

640
00:35:23,840 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: nine as a ranking in the red zone on offense

641
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: is nothing to be unsatisfied with. But it's clear to me,

642
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,760
Speaker 1: based on you being here, the investment at the guard

643
00:35:34,800 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: position this offseason by this team, just reading the tea leaves,

644
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:42,600
Speaker 1: it seems like running between the tackles is going to

645
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 1: be a bigger emphasis this year. Not not any more

646
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,360
Speaker 1: plays necessarily, but be better at it. If you know

647
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 1: what I'm getting at and you check the box there

648
00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:55,080
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, and I know Steve Field's

649
00:35:55,120 --> 00:35:58,480
Speaker 1: the same way, What is it about that that makes

650
00:35:58,520 --> 00:36:01,080
Speaker 1: that part of the game look so effortless for you?

651
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:03,280
Speaker 1: When you're running between the tackles?

652
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 5: You know, I think it's just a combination, first and

653
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:11,040
Speaker 5: foremost of God given ability. You know, I wouldn't be

654
00:36:11,080 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 5: here without without my Lord and Savior. You know he

655
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,759
Speaker 5: has blessed me beyond measure, and you know, blessed me

656
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,799
Speaker 5: with the talent to be sitting in this seat talking

657
00:36:17,800 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 5: to you guys, I think when you combine that and

658
00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:21,719
Speaker 5: just how much I love the game, you know, the

659
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 5: determination that I play with, and you know, I just

660
00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 5: I don't really think about it too much. You know,

661
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:28,000
Speaker 5: I'm not one of those guys it's like, oh, I'm

662
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,120
Speaker 5: gonna try to run through everybody.

663
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna try to do this. I'm gonna try to

664
00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 3: do that.

665
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,719
Speaker 5: You know, I'm gonna just try to go out and

666
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 5: be the best player that I can be, you know,

667
00:36:33,160 --> 00:36:34,920
Speaker 5: be the best Damien Harris that I can be. And

668
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 5: you know, I know what I'm good at, and I

669
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 5: know what my game you know, is based on, and

670
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:41,440
Speaker 5: you know what I excel at and obviously the things

671
00:36:41,440 --> 00:36:42,880
Speaker 5: that I want to there's things I want to get

672
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 5: better at as well. But you know, I know what

673
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:46,759
Speaker 5: I bring to a team and to an offense. So

674
00:36:47,200 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 5: you know, my thought process every day is just go

675
00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 5: out and be the best version of myself because I

676
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 5: know if I do that, then I'll help a team.

677
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:55,560
Speaker 2: How was the process of free agency being out there

678
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 2: and all the you know, the stuff you got to

679
00:36:57,520 --> 00:36:59,560
Speaker 2: go through. You know, I know there's a lot of

680
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 2: guys like, God, I'm unemployed.

681
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, I definitely.

682
00:37:04,520 --> 00:37:07,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, tell me about that experience there with you know,

683
00:37:07,280 --> 00:37:09,240
Speaker 2: I'm sure you had interest from a number of teams.

684
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,720
Speaker 2: You know, give us a rundown of your thought process

685
00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:13,600
Speaker 2: and how it ended up coming to Orchard Park.

686
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 5: You know, I feel like the stars just aligned, you know,

687
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:19,960
Speaker 5: I think I say that, you know, with all the

688
00:37:20,160 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 5: history I have here in Orchard Park and you know,

689
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,960
Speaker 5: just not having to go too far staying in the division.

690
00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,920
Speaker 5: You know, it almost felt like, you know, the stars

691
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 5: just aligned for me to be here. And you know,

692
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:31,279
Speaker 5: once the deal was done, you know, I felt very

693
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: fortunate to be joining another great organization, you know, coming

694
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 5: from one great organization and going to another. And I

695
00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 5: know there's like this rivalry going oh yeah, and I

696
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 5: understand that. But you know, I want to express my

697
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 5: gratitude for the time I had in New England because

698
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:46,360
Speaker 5: you know, those were great four years and you know,

699
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 5: I'm excited for the future. So you know, that was

700
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:49,800
Speaker 5: kind of my mindset the whole time. You know, I

701
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:53,360
Speaker 5: knew that whatever team I ended up on, you know,

702
00:37:53,560 --> 00:37:55,200
Speaker 5: it was going to be another part of God's plan

703
00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 5: and whatever team was going to be, you know, I

704
00:37:57,040 --> 00:37:59,120
Speaker 5: would have had the same mindset of just show up

705
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 5: and be the best version of myself. So you know,

706
00:38:01,200 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 5: I kind of let my agent do all the all

707
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,640
Speaker 5: the dirty work. You know, I kind of put my

708
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:07,120
Speaker 5: phone on do not disturb unless it was for my agent.

709
00:38:07,239 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 5: But you know, I just trained, and I knew that,

710
00:38:09,760 --> 00:38:11,960
Speaker 5: you know, God was gonna he was gonna direct my path.

711
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 5: And you know here I am.

712
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 2: Do you let me. You may not want to talk

713
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:16,560
Speaker 2: about this, but I was going to ask you if

714
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 2: we're all because we know it'ed like playing in the

715
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,280
Speaker 2: AFC East, did all three other a FC East teams

716
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:25,920
Speaker 2: like pick up the phone and say, hey, what about it?

717
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:27,319
Speaker 2: Like did you hear from I know you heard from

718
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 2: the Bills obviously, Dolphins Jets. I mean seeing you twice

719
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 2: a year for four years and playing for that organization,

720
00:38:33,719 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 2: and I know you had great games against us.

721
00:38:38,040 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 1: That had to be that has.

722
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: To mean something to you. When the teams that saw

723
00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 2: you the most kind of had some interest.

724
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean definitely teams in the division. You know,

725
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 5: we're familiar. I'm familiar with you know, all the teams

726
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 5: in our division, and you know, playing against these teams

727
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:55,120
Speaker 5: multiple times. I definitely think that that factored into, you know,

728
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 5: what brought me here.

729
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:58,759
Speaker 3: You know, we keep going back to it.

730
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,359
Speaker 5: But you know, the familiar with me playing here, playing

731
00:39:01,360 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 5: against the Bills, and you know just how those games win,

732
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 5: how I played, and you know, so on and so forth.

733
00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:09,160
Speaker 5: I think that all of that together just kind of

734
00:39:09,400 --> 00:39:11,560
Speaker 5: was all a part of the plan, and you know,

735
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:12,960
Speaker 5: it just ultimately led me here.

736
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,080
Speaker 1: You've got twenty career touchdowns. Eighteen have come in the

737
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 1: red zone, eight of those from two yards and in,

738
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 1: which is music to the ears of Bills fans because

739
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:26,120
Speaker 1: they're terrified every time Josh is running around down there,

740
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: and I think they see you, they see Latavius Murray,

741
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:31,319
Speaker 1: and they're like, oh, maybe we won't have to worry

742
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,160
Speaker 1: about Josh as much. We could just give it to

743
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:34,960
Speaker 1: a back who knows how to get in the end zone.

744
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,279
Speaker 1: What's your mindset when you're lined up down there? I

745
00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:40,480
Speaker 1: mean it's probably I mean maybe it's simple, it's like

746
00:39:40,600 --> 00:39:44,240
Speaker 1: just get in, but like, does your mind set shift

747
00:39:44,280 --> 00:39:46,399
Speaker 1: because it's like, here's the end of the drive. It's

748
00:39:46,440 --> 00:39:47,400
Speaker 1: time to be a finisher.

749
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:49,279
Speaker 3: Definitely.

750
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 5: I think that once you're that close to the end zone,

751
00:39:51,800 --> 00:39:54,239
Speaker 5: you know, regardless of if it's a rum play, a

752
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,759
Speaker 5: pass play, you know, whatever the coach is called. You know,

753
00:39:57,800 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 5: when you're that close and you're knocking on the doorstep

754
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:01,120
Speaker 5: of getting point, you know, I think it's just a

755
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 5: collective effort from all eleven guys. You know, I know

756
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,359
Speaker 5: that when I step in the hood on the balls

757
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 5: on the one, regardless of what the play is, I

758
00:40:08,280 --> 00:40:10,440
Speaker 5: know that I'm thinking, like, all right, regardless of what happens,

759
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:12,839
Speaker 5: regards what the play is, regardless of what my job is,

760
00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 5: the right guard, the X receiver, the quarterback, everybody, like,

761
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 5: everybody's got to do whatever it takes to get the

762
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:19,080
Speaker 5: ball in the end zone.

763
00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

764
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 5: Now, when a run play is called, obviously, you know,

765
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:24,040
Speaker 5: I don't want to make too much of it, but

766
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 5: you know, a little light bulb pops up in my

767
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:29,000
Speaker 5: head like, okay, like what we're going to do here?

768
00:40:29,040 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 1: You know what I mean?

769
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 5: Because yeah, because we're you know, you're on the one,

770
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,400
Speaker 5: and yeah, as a running back, obviously, if you're on

771
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:35,200
Speaker 5: the one, if you're on the two, even if you're

772
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,520
Speaker 5: on the three, you know, and you get stopped.

773
00:40:37,560 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 3: That's just like a it's a disheartening feeling, you know

774
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:39,960
Speaker 3: what I mean.

775
00:40:40,200 --> 00:40:42,200
Speaker 2: What if the Bills told you about your role, about

776
00:40:42,200 --> 00:40:44,160
Speaker 2: the you know, because the Bills are a little bit

777
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,880
Speaker 2: like the pager they roll guys through, you know, James

778
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 2: Cook and yourself and the rest of the guys. You know,

779
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 2: what have they told you about what their offensive philosophy?

780
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:54,279
Speaker 2: What have you been able to glean You don't have

781
00:40:54,280 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 2: to get into specifics, but you know what about this

782
00:40:56,719 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 2: bills offense that excites you and some of the things

783
00:41:01,400 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 2: that may be different than what you've had in the past.

784
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:06,640
Speaker 5: I think that what excites me the most is just

785
00:41:06,680 --> 00:41:09,239
Speaker 5: knowing that I have a role. Everybody has a role,

786
00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:12,040
Speaker 5: and everybody's role is different. And you know you mentioned

787
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,040
Speaker 5: other backs, and you know, we got a lot of

788
00:41:14,040 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 5: great backs. You know, I got a lot of great

789
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:17,440
Speaker 5: players in general, but you know, we got a running

790
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:19,560
Speaker 5: back room for the great players. So everybody's going to

791
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 5: have a role. And you know, I know I have

792
00:41:21,440 --> 00:41:24,440
Speaker 5: my role and that's been you know, communicated to me,

793
00:41:24,560 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 5: and you know, I know what my role is, and

794
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 5: you know, I got to get better at that role.

795
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:29,680
Speaker 5: Along with getting better at other things as well. So

796
00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 5: I think everybody knows that they have a role. You know,

797
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,040
Speaker 5: everybody knows what's expected of them. And then as players,

798
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,279
Speaker 5: you know, as professionals, it's up to up to us

799
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 5: to go out there and you know, do our jobs.

800
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,320
Speaker 1: I think in an I last one for me, I

801
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:44,759
Speaker 1: think in an ideal world for Bills fans, they're seeing

802
00:41:44,800 --> 00:41:46,279
Speaker 1: a lot of twenty two on the field in the

803
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:48,400
Speaker 1: last four minutes of a football game because the Bills

804
00:41:48,400 --> 00:41:51,000
Speaker 1: are up and you're getting the tough yards when the

805
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:52,600
Speaker 1: other team knows you want to sell at the game

806
00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: away and run it. How comfortable do you feel in

807
00:41:56,320 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 1: that kind of a role, like, Hey, it's it's finished

808
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,439
Speaker 1: time here, let's finish the game. Let's kill the game.

809
00:42:01,520 --> 00:42:04,080
Speaker 5: Basically, Yeah, I mean I feel as confident and that

810
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,200
Speaker 5: as any other part of my game. You know, at

811
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:07,800
Speaker 5: the end of the game, you know, as an offense,

812
00:42:07,800 --> 00:42:09,439
Speaker 5: you want to end the ball in with the ball

813
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 5: in your hands. You know that just because that probably

814
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 5: means you're gonna win the game. But it's just it's

815
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:16,600
Speaker 5: as simple as that. You know, in a in a

816
00:42:16,600 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 5: tough situation, trying to put the game away. You know,

817
00:42:20,480 --> 00:42:23,360
Speaker 5: as a runner as a team who's in a formative

818
00:42:23,360 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 5: offense that wants to put the game away. It's just

819
00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 5: a mentality, you know what I mean. You you want to

820
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 5: put the other team away, and you know, just like

821
00:42:29,239 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 5: I said, finished with the ball in your hands. And

822
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:32,920
Speaker 5: you know when you have a group that's confident, a

823
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:35,399
Speaker 5: group that you know the offensive line is working well

824
00:42:35,440 --> 00:42:37,719
Speaker 5: with the backs and you know everything is working harmoniously,

825
00:42:37,719 --> 00:42:39,560
Speaker 5: and you can close out games that way. You know,

826
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:43,320
Speaker 5: I think that really pays dividends for for our Team's.

827
00:42:42,440 --> 00:42:44,279
Speaker 2: Great to see you, man, congratulations on being here. I

828
00:42:44,360 --> 00:42:46,040
Speaker 2: hope it goes swimmingly for you.

829
00:42:46,040 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 3: Man, I think it will.

00:44:04,600 --> 00:44:08,000
Speaker 1: short yardage runner, a guy that finds the end zone,

855
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:11,319
Speaker 1: a guy that can run hard between the tackles and

856
00:44:11,360 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 1: get tough yards when other teams know you want to

857
00:44:13,960 --> 00:44:17,879
Speaker 1: run the football, he also doesn't fumble. The guy's had

858
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,760
Speaker 1: four hundred and forty nine career carries. He's got three fumbles.

859
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, don't think that doesn't get That's not just a

860
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 2: thing that's.

861
00:44:26,680 --> 00:44:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the head coach on this team, who's got

862
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,759
Speaker 1: a golden football in the locker room on a pedestal

863
00:44:31,800 --> 00:44:34,719
Speaker 1: that says protect the ball at all costs. I think

864
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,000
Speaker 1: he knows what that. I think he knows what Damian Harris'

865
00:44:37,080 --> 00:44:39,239
Speaker 1: fumble stats are. Yeah, they're minuscule.

866
00:44:39,360 --> 00:44:41,560
Speaker 2: You watch him on the and were sitting here watching

867
00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 2: some highlights, slow motion highlights of him against the Bills.

868
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 2: He's carrying the ball high and tight with his left arm,

869
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:49,560
Speaker 2: and you see, you know, Trey White comes in punches

870
00:44:49,600 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 2: it out every time he carries it. One of the

871
00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 2: Bills guys trying to punch it out and they don't

872
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 2: even budget and he just never coughs it up.

873
00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,080
Speaker 1: That's big. Plus, the guy.

874
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,359
Speaker 2: Knows what to do with it when he's in. When

875
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,719
Speaker 2: he's got in his hand, he's dodging guys in the backfield.

876
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,280
Speaker 2: Somebody comes through untouched, he goes out around the edge

877
00:45:05,760 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 2: and he's just you know, fundamentally sound.

878
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:12,719
Speaker 1: And while he can run down hill, he does have

879
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,960
Speaker 1: a little wiggle, you know, to you know, if the

880
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: play is blown up, he can you know, he can

881
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 1: make a safety miss, you know, after he gets into

882
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:25,040
Speaker 1: the secondary and he does have speed to at least

883
00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: threaten to take at the distance. I mean, he took

884
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:30,000
Speaker 1: a sixty four yarder all the way to the house

885
00:45:30,040 --> 00:45:31,880
Speaker 1: against the Bills in the windswept game a couple of

886
00:45:31,960 --> 00:45:37,359
Speaker 1: years ago. So yeah, I mean, he's not just a

887
00:45:37,360 --> 00:45:40,640
Speaker 1: plow ahead runner. I think he's more than that. But

888
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,920
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing that has Bills fans excited

889
00:45:43,960 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: about him being on this roster is some of the

890
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:48,160
Speaker 1: things I was asking him about. Eighteen of his twenty

891
00:45:48,200 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: career touchdowns in the red zone, twelve of those from

892
00:45:52,120 --> 00:45:54,840
Speaker 1: five yards an inch. I'm gonna run down the list

893
00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:59,840
Speaker 1: of touchdowns and yardage in his career. Okay, twenty twenty.

894
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 1: He was a part time player for the Patriots as

895
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,000
Speaker 1: a rookie, which is common up there. Two touchdowns twenty

896
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: two and nine yards twenty twenty one. Here's the yardage

897
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:13,840
Speaker 1: on his fifteen touchdowns that season. Are we ready? Twenty

898
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:22,719
Speaker 1: six one four one, three, one three fourteen sixty four

899
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:30,160
Speaker 1: against the Bills sixteen one eight two seven one last

900
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:32,720
Speaker 1: year two two five.

901
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 4: Yeah.

902
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:36,759
Speaker 1: If they don't want Josh running the ball down at

903
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: the goal line, this guy's getting it.

904
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:42,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's what you want as well, because the

905
00:46:42,080 --> 00:46:43,880
Speaker 2: Bills aren't the only people who realize that's what his

906
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:45,759
Speaker 2: numbers are. So when he's in the game, at least

907
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 2: in the early going of the season, teams are going

908
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:50,040
Speaker 2: to say, okay, here, we got this goal line guy

909
00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:53,799
Speaker 2: in here. You know, it gives him pause. It doesn't

910
00:46:53,840 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 2: mean that Josh can't pull it out and you know,

911
00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:58,360
Speaker 2: tuck it under his own arm, right, carry it.

912
00:46:58,560 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 1: This guy gives you a better sell, right, But yes.

913
00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,080
Speaker 2: The defense got to say, I don't know, they're gonna

914
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 2: they're handing it to Harris, right, So that's plus the

915
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: best part about it is and it sounds so old

916
00:47:12,640 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 2: school and so so you know, old time head coach,

917
00:47:18,040 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 2: we don't care if you know we're gonna give it

918
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 2: to Damien Harris. We're gonna give it to him anyway,

919
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:25,960
Speaker 2: and we're gonna score anyway because we've got those those

920
00:47:25,960 --> 00:47:28,160
Speaker 2: big guys up front. The tasker was talking about a

921
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,600
Speaker 2: minute ago, we're gonna we're gonna do it, and you're

922
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:32,600
Speaker 2: gonna see it coming and you're not gonna be able

923
00:47:32,600 --> 00:47:35,480
Speaker 2: to stop it. That's the that's kind of the the mantra,

924
00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:37,640
Speaker 2: you gotta have, you gotta run it when they know

925
00:47:37,719 --> 00:47:39,560
Speaker 2: you're gonna run it, give it to the guy they

926
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:41,640
Speaker 2: know you're gonna give it to, and still make him

927
00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,879
Speaker 2: pay for it. That's where the Bills have never been

928
00:47:44,920 --> 00:47:50,000
Speaker 2: with this running game now, they've never been there. Yeah,

929
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,000
Speaker 2: that's what they're That's kind of the the vibe you

930
00:47:53,040 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: get from Damien Harris sitting here, you know, and watching

931
00:47:55,800 --> 00:48:00,160
Speaker 2: his career and seeing the offensive line they've got out there.

932
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 2: I mean, that's exactly where they want to be. You've

933
00:48:03,120 --> 00:48:07,680
Speaker 2: got a seventeen point lead on the Minnesota Vikings in

934
00:48:07,760 --> 00:48:11,640
Speaker 2: your building at one in the afternoon. Kirk Cousins ain't

935
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:17,919
Speaker 2: gonna see it, right, that's the difference. Yes, we're gonna

936
00:48:17,960 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: run it. You know we're gonna run it, big deal, Right,

937
00:48:24,480 --> 00:48:25,719
Speaker 2: That's where you want to get to.

938
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:29,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I think Bill's fans will be happy if

939
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:30,840
Speaker 1: they see a whole lot of twenty two on the

940
00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: field with four minutes left and the Bill's up by ten, right,

941
00:48:36,840 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: because I think I think he's capable of saulting games

942
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: away for this team. And I think it's an underrated

943
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: upgrade on this roster. The running back room, I think

944
00:48:49,800 --> 00:48:54,480
Speaker 1: is one of the more improved positions on the roster

945
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,640
Speaker 1: from last season. You've got James Cook, who's got a

946
00:48:58,719 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 1: year under his belt now and knows what the NFL

947
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: game is like and is uber talented. You got a

948
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 1: proven between the tackles runner in Latavious Murray and Damien Harris.

949
00:49:12,280 --> 00:49:15,080
Speaker 1: And you got guys that can push the pile down

950
00:49:15,120 --> 00:49:17,880
Speaker 1: at the goal line even if the blocking isn't perfect

951
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:23,919
Speaker 1: in Harris and Murray. So you've got Naheim hind Nines

952
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,120
Speaker 1: is still there as a gadget.

953
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:30,760
Speaker 2: He can also outrun outrun twenty one of the twenty

954
00:49:30,760 --> 00:49:33,839
Speaker 2: two guys on the field. So you got a guy

955
00:49:33,840 --> 00:49:37,560
Speaker 2: with some speed and Cook as well with that. So

956
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,319
Speaker 2: you've got some skills and some guys that cross over

957
00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,320
Speaker 2: between those skill sets that you don't get become predictable

958
00:49:44,440 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 2: with whoever's on the field. It's a great It seems

959
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,320
Speaker 2: like a great roster of running backs. And you've also

960
00:49:50,360 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 2: got Reggie gilliam on the roster as well, who can

961
00:49:52,440 --> 00:49:55,000
Speaker 2: be an h back. Why guy, Why move kind of guy?

962
00:49:57,280 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 2: The letter? Why I mean move? Yeah, we'll see. It

963
00:50:02,760 --> 00:50:05,720
Speaker 2: certainly looks like a roster that you can get behind

964
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,160
Speaker 2: and expect have higher expectations for than we've had in

965
00:50:08,200 --> 00:50:08,600
Speaker 2: the past.

966
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 1: Break time for us here, but when we come back

967
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:14,520
Speaker 1: for our number two, we'll be doing it with Josh Allen,

968
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:19,120
Speaker 1: who will be addressing the media after OTA Media Viewing

969

976
00:51:22,200 --> 00:51:25,719
Speaker 1: this morning before the show and they probably finished up

977
00:51:25,920 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 1: about a half an hour ago. And stepping to the

978
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 1: podium is one Josh Allen to address the media.

979
00:51:35,040 --> 00:51:37,759
Speaker 6: Guys all over there and obviously highly visible with that

980
00:51:37,840 --> 00:51:40,080
Speaker 6: evand kind of soaking it all in and whether it's

981
00:51:40,080 --> 00:51:41,160
Speaker 6: blocked or anything else.

982
00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:44,920
Speaker 7: What we're going fucker well, I mean, the story.

983
00:51:46,360 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 6: Is crazy, and then you add in the hole in

984
00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 6: one on Sunday and then the up and down on eighteen.

985
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:54,600
Speaker 6: Being a guy that hasn't really played in a Tory

986
00:51:54,560 --> 00:51:56,799
Speaker 6: event in a long time, I don't think he's ever

987
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 6: made the cut, and to do it on such a

988
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:02,800
Speaker 6: grand stage, I've actually we've ran.

989
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:03,760
Speaker 7: Into each other a few times.

990
00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:06,319
Speaker 6: A Royal Trebuco Golf Club is not too far from

991
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 6: where I live, so me and Kyle Alan we golfed

992
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:10,759
Speaker 6: there quite a bit. And Kyle's got a pretty good

993
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 6: relationship with him, so we actually met him Saturday or

994
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,440
Speaker 6: Friday after he made the cut and said hello to

995
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,920
Speaker 6: him and just congratulated him and then obviously to finish

996
00:52:19,960 --> 00:52:23,080
Speaker 6: top fifteen to make it the next year's Pj's pretty

997
00:52:23,080 --> 00:52:24,880
Speaker 6: sweet and now he's getting invited to all the tournaments,

998
00:52:24,880 --> 00:52:26,960
Speaker 6: so uh, it's it's such a good story.

999
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:30,840
Speaker 7: Reports that you were you wanted.

1000
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:32,800
Speaker 1: I guess Dalton kin kid you were, you were, You

1001
00:52:32,880 --> 00:52:35,040
Speaker 1: understood who he was. Adding it to the offense could

1002
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: help you guys. You endorsed him as a draft and

1003
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 1: we put it that way.

1004
00:52:37,600 --> 00:52:39,520
Speaker 2: You know, how much could you go into that as

1005
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:41,560
Speaker 2: far as you knowing who he was and what he

1006
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 2: might be able to do if you guys could draft him.

1007
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:46,279
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I I I talked to being this

1008
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:49,640
Speaker 6: no secret in terms of you know who I like.

1009
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 6: It's purely based on like highlights and and uh just

1010
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:56,640
Speaker 6: watching some game film from these guys, and.

1011
00:52:57,719 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I was.

1012
00:52:58,360 --> 00:53:00,879
Speaker 6: I was very excited to be able to work with him,

1013
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 6: and he's young, he's very talented, He's had a lot

1014
00:53:03,920 --> 00:53:06,799
Speaker 6: of room to grow, but his ceiling is very high

1015
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:08,840
Speaker 6: and we're we're excited to have him on our squad.

1016
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:13,279
Speaker 1: Was jumped out to you and watched him, even if

1017
00:53:13,280 --> 00:53:13,600
Speaker 1: it was.

1018
00:53:13,560 --> 00:53:15,960
Speaker 7: Just the highlight was Yeah.

1019
00:53:15,960 --> 00:53:17,759
Speaker 6: I think it was fluidity just in terms of how

1020
00:53:17,760 --> 00:53:20,280
Speaker 6: he moves getting in out, in and out of cuts

1021
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,279
Speaker 6: when he catches the ball knifing up forward and then

1022
00:53:23,440 --> 00:53:25,760
Speaker 6: you look at his catch ragus he makes some pretty

1023
00:53:26,040 --> 00:53:29,520
Speaker 6: pretty unreal catches. So you throw that in with again

1024
00:53:29,560 --> 00:53:32,680
Speaker 6: being young to the game and it doesn't played that

1025
00:53:32,680 --> 00:53:33,120
Speaker 6: that many.

1026
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:33,720
Speaker 7: Years of football.

1027
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,160
Speaker 6: So, uh, he's got a lot to learn and he's

1028
00:53:36,239 --> 00:53:38,359
Speaker 6: very eager eager to learn and to have.

1029
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:41,040
Speaker 7: You know, Dawson and him pair it up together.

1030
00:53:41,040 --> 00:53:45,760
Speaker 6: They they do some things slightly different, but again I think, uh,

1031
00:53:45,800 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 6: they're going to pair very well together.

1032
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 2: Questions to all those, but what's your take, especially as

1033
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,799
Speaker 2: the quarterback, on what to mention that really adds to

1034
00:53:54,800 --> 00:53:57,839
Speaker 2: the offfense to twelve personnel all that and we talked

1035
00:53:57,880 --> 00:54:01,000
Speaker 2: about slot receiver last year before colkam back and all

1036
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: of that. How does that all put together for you?

1037
00:54:04,440 --> 00:54:05,320
Speaker 2: Running this offense.

1038
00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 7: Well, I mean that I think that has yet to

1039
00:54:08,560 --> 00:54:08,959
Speaker 7: be seen.

1040
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,439
Speaker 6: I think there's a lot of things that we're gonna

1041
00:54:10,440 --> 00:54:14,359
Speaker 6: have to go through and and figure out what best

1042
00:54:14,400 --> 00:54:17,080
Speaker 6: way you utilize all of our skill players, and you know,

1043
00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 6: Dorsey in the offensive staff, will we'll put together something

1044
00:54:20,400 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 6: where we can you know, utilize our guys to the

1045
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:24,960
Speaker 6: best of our abilities and to the best of their abilities.

1046
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 6: So I couldn't give you a complete answer on that.

1047
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:29,279
Speaker 6: I guess time will tell with that.

1048
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:34,440
Speaker 7: Thank you, you know here to Dorsey's offense.

1049
00:54:34,640 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 4: How excited are you too involved here too?

1050
00:54:36,600 --> 00:54:37,040
Speaker 3: With Dorsey?

1051
00:54:37,280 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 7: I'm very excited.

1052
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:41,719
Speaker 6: You know, the meetings that we're having, the stuff that

1053
00:54:41,760 --> 00:54:46,600
Speaker 6: we're installing schematically, you know, we're not gonna be too different,

1054
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,440
Speaker 6: but I definitely think we're cleaning things up and looking

1055
00:54:49,480 --> 00:54:52,360
Speaker 6: back on film last year, you know, just myself eyes

1056
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 6: being in the wrong spot sometimes and you know, making

1057
00:54:55,800 --> 00:54:57,480
Speaker 6: sure that I'm on the same page with the receivers,

1058
00:54:57,520 --> 00:54:59,359
Speaker 6: tight ends and running backs and uh and the old

1059
00:54:59,360 --> 00:55:01,040
Speaker 6: line for that matter. So I got to be an

1060
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 6: extension of him when I'm on the field, and you know,

1061
00:55:03,440 --> 00:55:07,360
Speaker 6: utilizing this time to really develop that relationship and and

1062
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:10,080
Speaker 6: try to be in his mind as much as possible,

1063
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,080
Speaker 6: and you know, I got no doubt we'll get there.

1064
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:17,920
Speaker 4: The receiver for years, how those guys, what's that like?

1065
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:21,520
Speaker 7: Kind of Yeah, it's it's it's Oka's right now.

1066
00:55:21,560 --> 00:55:25,239
Speaker 6: So just really just kind of throwing it out there

1067
00:55:25,280 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 6: and and just trying new things, putting guys in different spots,

1068
00:55:30,239 --> 00:55:33,360
Speaker 6: like I said, to figure out where they're going to

1069
00:55:33,440 --> 00:55:36,120
Speaker 6: help us out and what suits their game the best.

1070
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 6: Because again, when when you put a guy to be

1071
00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:40,920
Speaker 6: his best, it's going to help the team to be

1072
00:55:40,960 --> 00:55:43,279
Speaker 6: our best. So just trying to figure that out and

1073
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:45,520
Speaker 6: using this time to to really do that. Guys are

1074
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:47,640
Speaker 6: getting in and learning the playbook and it's not a

1075
00:55:47,680 --> 00:55:51,399
Speaker 6: simple offense by any means. So guys are are very

1076
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,399
Speaker 6: prepared or going out there. They know their stuff, and

1077
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,160
Speaker 6: these new guys are doing such a great job.

1078
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: Different about clil are going into your career.

1079
00:56:01,440 --> 00:56:04,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean he knows his position, he knows the Z,

1080
00:56:04,560 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 6: he knows the X. You know, he's gonna he's gonna have,

1081
00:56:09,440 --> 00:56:11,800
Speaker 6: you know, a really good year. And I think utilizing

1082
00:56:11,840 --> 00:56:14,279
Speaker 6: him last year the way that we did, I have

1083
00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,400
Speaker 6: a lot of trust in him. I think, you know,

1084
00:56:16,480 --> 00:56:18,759
Speaker 6: He's only going to grow, continue to grow in his role,

1085
00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,200
Speaker 6: and again I'm not quite sure what that is and

1086
00:56:21,360 --> 00:56:24,160
Speaker 6: how it's gonna look like for everybody, but the dude

1087
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 6: shows up every day with the smile on his face,

1088
00:56:25,800 --> 00:56:28,560
Speaker 6: he's ready to work. He works extremely hard, and and

1089
00:56:28,680 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 6: our relationship on the field is growing just reading his

1090
00:56:31,840 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 6: body language and such. So I'm very excited about what

1091
00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:36,440
Speaker 6: he's what he's showing right now, and what he has

1092
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 6: to offer for this teams.

1093
00:56:37,880 --> 00:56:42,680
Speaker 1: Josh Sean mcdermer talked about sensing a new focus.

1094
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,279
Speaker 2: And determination from you.

1095
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,399
Speaker 1: Where do you think he gets that and what what

1096
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:49,560
Speaker 1: do you think he means by that?

1097
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,319
Speaker 6: I mean, I think just the talks that we've had

1098
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,719
Speaker 6: and understanding each other, and I think it really kind

1099
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,640
Speaker 6: of comes down to that, just the private talks that

1100
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:03,040
Speaker 6: you know, we've had, and just the trust that we

1101
00:57:03,080 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 6: have in each other and the trust that we're going

1102
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 6: to have to continue to have in each other throughout

1103
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 6: this year and you know, throughout the throughout the years

1104
00:57:09,160 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 6: to come, because every every year is going to be

1105
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:14,680
Speaker 6: different highs and lows, different obstacles that we're gonna have

1106
00:57:14,719 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 6: to face, and we're gonna head adversity at some point

1107
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,960
Speaker 6: or another. So being being like this and being as

1108
00:57:19,960 --> 00:57:22,480
Speaker 6: tight as possible so we can stick to each other

1109
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:25,280
Speaker 6: and with each other through everything and just make sure

1110
00:57:25,280 --> 00:57:28,360
Speaker 6: that we have that that relationship, you know, if things

1111
00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 6: do get tough, we can rely on each other.

1112
00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:33,440
Speaker 2: And not to say that you didn't have focus termination

1113
00:57:33,600 --> 00:57:36,160
Speaker 2: before in previous offseasons.

1114
00:57:36,840 --> 00:57:39,560
Speaker 3: Why is there maybe a heightened sense is it?

1115
00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:44,680
Speaker 1: You know, just getting a year older, just like the

1116
00:57:44,720 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: playoff defeats.

1117
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,520
Speaker 4: That have happened, I mean, and and just that the experience,

1118
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 4: the experience of bitterness.

1119
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 7: I yeah, it's an accumulation of things, I think.

1120
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 6: But to that point, just understanding our window in in

1121
00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 6: I want to give everything that I have for as

1122
00:58:00,440 --> 00:58:02,840
Speaker 6: long as I play. And you know, I'm not saying

1123
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 6: that I haven't done that in the past, but there's

1124
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 6: always new ways that I can find to get better,

1125
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 6: and not being complacent with what I'm doing on the field,

1126
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:14,760
Speaker 6: understanding that there's a lot of plays that we left

1127
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 6: out there. And you know, statistically you look at it

1128
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,800
Speaker 6: where where we were top three four offense in the

1129
00:58:19,840 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 6: league last year and it wasn't good enough.

1130
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:26,320
Speaker 7: So just losing the playoffs isn't fun.

1131
00:58:26,520 --> 00:58:30,240
Speaker 6: You know, and I so bad badly want to bring

1132
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 6: Super Bowl here to Buffalo, and I just don't want

1133
00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 6: anything to get in the way of allowing me to

1134
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:40,880
Speaker 6: be the best quarterback that I can be for this team.

1135
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:46,840
Speaker 2: Don't expet me as a metata where anymore to all.

1136
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:48,600
Speaker 1: In an area where I met.

1137
00:58:48,960 --> 00:58:54,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think communicating to our playmakers, understanding where I

1138
00:58:54,120 --> 00:58:55,760
Speaker 6: want them and making sure that we're on the same

1139
00:58:55,840 --> 00:58:59,560
Speaker 6: page film study for sure, and then just diving into

1140
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,360
Speaker 6: our playbook, knowing it inside and out and whether we've

1141
00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 6: got to simplify some things or add more stuff. Talking

1142
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:07,240
Speaker 6: with Dorsey and again just trying to be a part

1143
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:10,400
Speaker 6: of his brain and making sure that I'm doing that

1144
00:59:10,520 --> 00:59:15,080
Speaker 6: on the field, Yeah, and then and just knowing the

1145
00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 6: concepts as well as I can, knowing over my eyes

1146
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:19,240
Speaker 6: should be and understanding what the defense is trying to

1147
00:59:19,280 --> 00:59:21,560
Speaker 6: do and how to exploit, you know, said defense.

1148
00:59:21,720 --> 00:59:23,200
Speaker 3: I kind of fort an example of right on the

1149
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:23,680
Speaker 3: field today.

1150
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: He kind of switched a little linebacker roll a result

1151
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:26,760
Speaker 2: and going to it.

1152
00:59:26,840 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 1: Well, how's that dynamic?

1153
00:59:28,440 --> 00:59:30,439
Speaker 3: Fen with on the best part with the picking things.

1154
00:59:31,040 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a he's a very bright kid. And you know,

1155
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 6: I'll say that for for all of our playmakers for

1156
00:59:36,480 --> 00:59:38,960
Speaker 6: for that matter, just making sure, like I said, the

1157
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:42,920
Speaker 6: communication piece has to be above and beyond what it's

1158
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:46,120
Speaker 6: been and I need to take more ownership in that.

1159
00:59:46,160 --> 00:59:47,080
Speaker 7: And that's what I'm trying to do.

1160
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:50,040
Speaker 6: And sometimes it's hard for me because you know, I'm

1161
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:53,440
Speaker 6: I'm very relaxed guy that's like, hey, like just get

1162
00:59:53,480 --> 00:59:56,360
Speaker 6: open and catch the ball. But but being a little

1163
00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 6: more structured and being able to rely sometimes on that

1164
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,280
Speaker 6: feel safe of these guys know where they're going to be.

1165
01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 6: I know where they're gonna because we've talked about it

1166
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 6: one hundred times, and just making sure that there's two

1167
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 6: way communication as well, and hearing what those guys have

1168
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,840
Speaker 6: to say and being open to that as well.

1169
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,400
Speaker 4: A coach, Stephan not theme here.

1170
01:00:14,440 --> 01:00:16,280
Speaker 3: I mean we've talked about before this time of year.

1171
01:00:16,600 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: Can't control those things, but as an offense during benefits

1172
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: to it because maybe if you can reps to other eyes.

1173
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, you talk about other reps.

1174
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,600
Speaker 6: Trent Churchfield getting getting a lot of the Z reps

1175
01:00:25,680 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 6: and learning this offense. I've I've loved what I've seen

1176
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,200
Speaker 6: from Trent so far. The dude works extremely hard. He's

1177
01:00:31,200 --> 01:00:33,280
Speaker 6: one of the hardest working guys on the team, doesn't

1178
01:00:33,320 --> 01:00:36,160
Speaker 6: complain about anything. He's he's rolling right now, and I

1179
01:00:36,200 --> 01:00:37,920
Speaker 6: don't know if he would have gotten those reps without stuff.

1180
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 6: And obviously this is voluntary. We'd love to have him here.

1181
01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,200
Speaker 6: You know, I'd love to have him here. I understand that,

1182
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:47,560
Speaker 6: you know, otsren't for everybody, and again it is voluntary

1183
01:00:47,560 --> 01:00:49,800
Speaker 6: at the end of the day. But you know, some

1184
01:00:49,880 --> 01:00:51,520
Speaker 6: of the guys are getting a lot of good work

1185
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 6: and maybe we wouldn't have gotten that if he is

1186
01:00:54,080 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 6: here right now. So I know those guys aren't taking

1187
01:00:56,640 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 6: that for granted.

1188
01:00:58,560 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 3: Basketballity, you know, you guys a.

1189
01:01:02,200 --> 01:01:06,400
Speaker 6: Relations forms here or there, just just really getting to

1190
01:01:06,440 --> 01:01:08,960
Speaker 6: know him. We had I gotten a text actually from

1191
01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:12,320
Speaker 6: Christian right before he signed. It's like, hey, here's Trent's number.

1192
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 7: Uh.

1193
01:01:13,080 --> 01:01:14,560
Speaker 6: So I gave him a call and just kind of

1194
01:01:14,600 --> 01:01:16,480
Speaker 6: talked about, you know, wanting to to bring him here

1195
01:01:16,560 --> 01:01:18,280
Speaker 6: and what he could do for this team and what

1196
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 6: this team could could help do for him.

1197
01:01:19,960 --> 01:01:24,680
Speaker 7: So but he's he's freaking awesome. I love the guy already. He's,

1198
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:26,600
Speaker 7: like I said, he's one of the hardest working guys

1199
01:01:26,680 --> 01:01:28,680
Speaker 7: that that we have here. And as a quarterback, you'd

1200
01:01:28,680 --> 01:01:29,120
Speaker 7: love to see that.

1201
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:31,720
Speaker 2: Can you tell me about to make the vision?

1202
01:01:33,120 --> 01:01:35,680
Speaker 6: It's some of that your experience of time in the NFL,

1203
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 6: but you're not.

1204
01:01:36,240 --> 01:01:38,840
Speaker 1: A young quarterback, kind of learning junk say more than

1205
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,720
Speaker 1: George so much, kind of particulated more.

1206
01:01:42,760 --> 01:01:44,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, And I think it's you have to go sometimes

1207
01:01:44,960 --> 01:01:48,080
Speaker 6: through those lumps, through those trials and tribulations for guys

1208
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:50,400
Speaker 6: to actually listen to what you have to say. And

1209
01:01:50,440 --> 01:01:53,840
Speaker 6: I think you know, as the quarterback, that's your words

1210
01:01:53,840 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 6: always gonna be a little heavier than than most guys.

1211
01:01:56,640 --> 01:01:59,520
Speaker 6: But again you add the experience piece and how long

1212
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 6: I've been here, how long I've been in the same system.

1213
01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 6: When I say something those guys are listening, it does

1214
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:06,440
Speaker 6: feel good. But at the same time, I need to

1215
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:07,920
Speaker 6: know what I'm talking about, So I got to make

1216
01:02:07,960 --> 01:02:10,680
Speaker 6: sure that I'm dialed in so when I am communicating

1217
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:12,439
Speaker 6: with these guys that I'm I'm saying the right things

1218
01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:14,480
Speaker 6: and explaining in the way that they can understand it.

1219
01:02:15,080 --> 01:02:16,760
Speaker 7: Because everyone learns a little bit differently.

1220
01:02:16,840 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 6: Some guys learn on the field, some guys want to

1221
01:02:18,400 --> 01:02:20,400
Speaker 6: be talking about it, some guys want to watch films.

1222
01:02:20,440 --> 01:02:22,520
Speaker 7: So just trying to break that down for every single guy.

1223
01:02:22,840 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 2: It's been a more weird question that it would bay

1224
01:02:25,080 --> 01:02:27,560
Speaker 2: first made last Yeld. You don't feel like you guys

1225
01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,960
Speaker 2: are a little more under their way though, it's like

1226
01:02:31,160 --> 01:02:33,080
Speaker 2: you're probably something.

1227
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,560
Speaker 6: I mean, to be honest, I don't know what people

1228
01:02:36,600 --> 01:02:40,800
Speaker 6: are saying about us. We're we're we're very internally motivated

1229
01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,200
Speaker 6: here in our organization, and it starts with Coach Dermott.

1230
01:02:44,240 --> 01:02:47,360
Speaker 6: So you know, we've got high expectations, but no one's

1231
01:02:47,480 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 6: no one's expectations will be higher than ours, and I

1232
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 6: see more opportunity.

1233
01:02:58,440 --> 01:02:59,680
Speaker 4: That's different content.

1234
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:02,840
Speaker 6: It's getting competitive out there, you know, a little little

1235
01:03:02,840 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 6: trash talking back with back and forth with coach. So

1236
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:08,800
Speaker 6: that's fun to see his competitive juices get flowing. And

1237
01:03:10,080 --> 01:03:11,680
Speaker 6: I'm not saying they wouldn't last year. He's he's a

1238
01:03:11,720 --> 01:03:14,280
Speaker 6: defensive guy, so that defense is always a special part

1239
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 6: of him, but I think even more so right now.

1240
01:03:17,280 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 6: But I am excited to see some of the things

1241
01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 6: that he's going to do with RD and I know

1242
01:03:22,240 --> 01:03:24,480
Speaker 6: I know our guys are excited to thank you.

1243
01:03:25,680 --> 01:03:28,280
Speaker 1: All right. That's Josh Allen addressing the media after OTA

1244
01:03:28,440 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: practice today, and among some of his more interesting comments,

1245
01:03:33,600 --> 01:03:36,320
Speaker 1: he was asked about Dalton Kincaid and his initial impressions

1246
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:38,520
Speaker 1: of him out there on the field. So he likes

1247
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:43,040
Speaker 1: Kincaid's fluidity and catch radius. I don't know if there's

1248
01:03:43,040 --> 01:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a quarterback that doesn't like a receiving targets large catch radius.

1249
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's that was the word coming out about Kincaid,

1250
01:03:51,600 --> 01:03:54,720
Speaker 2: you know, as well publicized being in the scouts who

1251
01:03:55,360 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 2: scouted Kincaid said, the guy's got the best hands I've

1252
01:03:58,840 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 2: seen in the last decade come out of college. And

1253
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 2: they try and do their best to quantify that stuff,

1254
01:04:05,280 --> 01:04:07,320
Speaker 2: and even by the percentages and all that stuff, he

1255
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,080
Speaker 2: is the guy catches everything. So it makes a lot

1256
01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:13,240
Speaker 2: of sense that wherever Josh decides to put the football,

1257
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,520
Speaker 2: Kinkaid's gonna pull it in, and that you and I

1258
01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:19,200
Speaker 2: talk about it all the time. This team dropped the

1259
01:04:19,240 --> 01:04:21,560
Speaker 2: ball almost more than anybody except for one team. They

1260
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:23,320
Speaker 2: dropped the ball more than anybody, and they turned it

1261
01:04:23,400 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 2: over more than anybody. If they can stop doing that,

1262
01:04:30,120 --> 01:04:32,160
Speaker 2: that in and of itself is the momentum they need

1263
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:34,080
Speaker 2: going forward to put him over the top and make

1264
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:35,240
Speaker 2: them almost unbeatable.

1265
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:37,959
Speaker 1: Let's just think about ball security for a quick second.

1266
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:41,080
Speaker 1: Here since you mentioned it. Okay, we already talked about

1267
01:04:41,160 --> 01:04:44,760
Speaker 1: Damien Harris, who's got three fumbles in his career in

1268
01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:50,080
Speaker 1: almost four hundred and fifty carries. Okay, Latavius Murray has

1269
01:04:51,400 --> 01:04:54,200
Speaker 1: nine hundred and thirty eight carries in his last nine

1270
01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:57,360
Speaker 1: hundred and thirty eight carry. Steve, Yeah, he's got three fumbles.

1271
01:04:58,040 --> 01:05:00,440
Speaker 1: That's won every three hundred and twelve carries.

1272
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:01,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, Okay.

1273
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:07,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary did not do that. He had thirteen fumbles

1274
01:05:07,520 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 1: in six hundred and seventy carries. That's won every fifty carries.

1275
01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:15,480
Speaker 1: It's a huge difference, huge difference. So there's a ball

1276
01:05:15,520 --> 01:05:17,920
Speaker 1: security issue that's been addressed at the running back position,

1277
01:05:18,920 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 1: and there's a catch rate issue that has been addressed

1278
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: in the passing game in the form of Dalton Kincaid,

1279
01:05:27,000 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: who had four drops in five years of college football

1280
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,240
Speaker 1: four and has bigger hands than Josh Allen at ten

1281
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:34,959
Speaker 1: and a quarter inches.

1282
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:38,360
Speaker 2: When you get I'm not saying anything about nobody has

1283
01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:40,760
Speaker 2: can't figure out from the cells. When you get your

1284
01:05:41,000 --> 01:05:44,240
Speaker 2: roster to a spot where you are this group that

1285
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:48,760
Speaker 2: in a year that's considered unsuccessful, you go thirteen and

1286
01:05:48,920 --> 01:05:52,640
Speaker 2: three and you win lose three games total or four

1287
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,160
Speaker 2: games total, three of which in the regular season, by

1288
01:05:55,200 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 2: a total of eight points. And even in those games,

1289
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 2: two of those three games, it's like, how did you

1290
01:05:59,760 --> 01:06:03,000
Speaker 2: lose that game? You've got your roster built to that

1291
01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:07,480
Speaker 2: point and now you've added something to it. I mean,

1292
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,200
Speaker 2: all that's left to really address are the margins about

1293
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:13,479
Speaker 2: where you can get better statistically, and we're talking about

1294
01:06:13,520 --> 01:06:16,919
Speaker 2: exactly those things. You turn the ball over even less

1295
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,919
Speaker 2: than you did last year, you drop the ball even

1296
01:06:20,040 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 2: less than you did last year. You get bigger and

1297
01:06:23,160 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 2: more athletic up front than you were last year. You

1298
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:30,840
Speaker 2: come back with a defensive tackle roster that is going

1299
01:06:30,920 --> 01:06:33,000
Speaker 2: to be highly motivated. All those guys are going to

1300
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,960
Speaker 2: be highly motivated to hit and get another crack at

1301
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:41,200
Speaker 2: at a contract next year. And you come back now,

1302
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 2: of course, at this point of the season, you're one

1303
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:47,400
Speaker 2: hundred percent healthier than you were. Everybody is at this point,

1304
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:50,640
Speaker 2: but you got to feel good about that. So that's

1305
01:06:50,680 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 2: where this roster is. I'm certainly Brandon Beans has continued

1306
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,040
Speaker 2: to do his job building the roster, but you look

1307
01:06:57,120 --> 01:06:59,200
Speaker 2: at where they were and where they've come and what

1308
01:06:59,280 --> 01:07:03,480
Speaker 2: they've addressed in this offseason, and it's painfully obvious that

1309
01:07:03,600 --> 01:07:08,240
Speaker 2: they're hammering the margins of where they were as a

1310
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:10,480
Speaker 2: really good football team a year ago and the year

1311
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:10,920
Speaker 2: before that.

1312
01:07:11,800 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and they look at the numbers, Where is this

1313
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 1: player better than maybe what we have? How much of

1314
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,640
Speaker 1: an upgrade is that? Where is this player better than

1315
01:07:20,680 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: a player that we had? How affordable is that player?

1316
01:07:23,320 --> 01:07:27,400
Speaker 1: In free agency, they got two veteran running backs on

1317
01:07:27,560 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 1: affordable contracts, and they are better at the position. I

1318
01:07:31,560 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 1: don't think there's any debate about it. They are better.

1319
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,920
Speaker 1: Among the other comments that Josh made, he said, the

1320
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:42,080
Speaker 1: relationship with Khalil Shakira is growing. He doesn't quite yet

1321
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:45,600
Speaker 1: know exactly what Khalil's role is going to be because

1322
01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 1: you have Deontay Hardy in the fold now trans Sherfield

1323
01:07:48,680 --> 01:07:51,680
Speaker 1: is getting a lot of reps with Diggs not practicing

1324
01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:54,760
Speaker 1: at these voluntary practices. So I think there's a lot

1325
01:07:54,800 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 1: of stuff that still has to shake out at that

1326
01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,120
Speaker 1: position in terms of the roles, and those will get

1327
01:07:59,160 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: more defined in training camp in the preseason. Then there

1328
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:05,640
Speaker 1: was this Steve. We already heard coach McDermott this morning

1329
01:08:05,800 --> 01:08:08,720
Speaker 1: say this is the most focused and determined I have

1330
01:08:08,800 --> 01:08:12,080
Speaker 1: ever seen Josh in my six years of being around him.

1331
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:16,679
Speaker 1: Then Josh said this in terms of his own game,

1332
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: and as we've said Steve, he's one of the most

1333
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,200
Speaker 1: self aware guys out there at the quarterback position. He said,

1334
01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:26,920
Speaker 1: I need to take more ownership of my communication with

1335
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:31,840
Speaker 1: my receivers. He said, you know, maybe he got lured

1336
01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,640
Speaker 1: into this false sense of security, like, hey, it's on

1337
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:37,240
Speaker 1: the receivers to know their job, know their assignment, do

1338
01:08:37,400 --> 01:08:40,280
Speaker 1: their job. But it sounds like there's this this little

1339
01:08:40,280 --> 01:08:43,599
Speaker 1: bit of communication that he feels can be better, whether

1340
01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:47,000
Speaker 1: that's breaking the huddle right out of the right before

1341
01:08:47,040 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 1: the snap, whether that's making a check at the line,

1342
01:08:50,360 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: and maybe there's a little extra bit of communication, or

1343
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 1: maybe it's something on the sidelines between series or even

1344
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:58,560
Speaker 1: in a practice. It's clear to me he feels he

1345
01:08:58,720 --> 01:09:01,680
Speaker 1: needs to be more demanded in the things that he

1346
01:09:01,920 --> 01:09:04,920
Speaker 1: does say to these receivers. So maybe speak to that.

1347
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,800
Speaker 1: Having been in those shoes with quarterbacks before.

1348
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:10,000
Speaker 2: Here's what it is. And you see if Josh comes

1349
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:12,640
Speaker 2: back and says like I'm not sure, quite sure what

1350
01:09:12,720 --> 01:09:14,160
Speaker 2: Khalil Shaque is going to do coming out of the

1351
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:16,960
Speaker 2: break I'm not sure what this guy. D Dada and

1352
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 2: James Cook could be a candidate for this as well.

1353
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,320
Speaker 2: These you know, James Cook comes out and he says,

1354
01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get do it. I'm gonna get this, I'm

1355
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:26,880
Speaker 2: gonna do my thing out here and expect the ball

1356
01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:33,160
Speaker 2: when I expect it. Here's why quarterbacks favor other receivers.

1357
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:37,160
Speaker 2: A guy like Khalil Shakiir is the best player on

1358
01:09:37,240 --> 01:09:39,600
Speaker 2: his team at Boise State wherever he came out of,

1359
01:09:39,720 --> 01:09:42,560
Speaker 2: right Boise State where he comes out of. Cook is

1360
01:09:42,600 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 2: a really important player in floor and at Georgia where

1361
01:09:45,320 --> 01:09:47,120
Speaker 2: he came out of and you get all these other

1362
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 2: guys who come out of that. The difference is this,

1363
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 2: when you're a receiver at this level, you are there

1364
01:09:56,040 --> 01:09:58,360
Speaker 2: to be there for the guy at the other end

1365
01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,320
Speaker 2: of the ball, at the other end the past. If

1366
01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:04,640
Speaker 2: Josh comes out and says, it's very telling to me

1367
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 2: when Josh says, I'm not sure where Khalil's gonna be

1368
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:12,120
Speaker 2: when Khalil shak Here's job. Steph Diggs's job gave Davis'

1369
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 2: job first and foremost is to know where the quarterback

1370
01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 2: wants you to be. It doesn't matter what your route is,

1371
01:10:20,760 --> 01:10:23,599
Speaker 2: What does your quarterback expect you to do? Where does

1372
01:10:23,640 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: he expect you to be and how does he expect

1373
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,600
Speaker 2: you to be there? What time does he expect you

1374
01:10:27,680 --> 01:10:31,120
Speaker 2: to be there. That's it. As a receiver, you're running

1375
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:34,479
Speaker 2: your route for that guy throwing the ball. You think

1376
01:10:34,640 --> 01:10:36,680
Speaker 2: like he thinks, you do what he wants you to do.

1377
01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:42,000
Speaker 2: You have conversations about what he thinks. You are irrelevant

1378
01:10:42,040 --> 01:10:45,679
Speaker 2: to the equation excepting your ability. You have to because

1379
01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,960
Speaker 2: he's got the ball and he's got guys pounding in

1380
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 2: around him. He needs you to know what he's thinking.

1381
01:10:52,600 --> 01:10:54,840
Speaker 1: That's your entire job as a wide out.

1382
01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 2: Certainly you got a route to run, yes, but you

1383
01:10:57,400 --> 01:11:00,880
Speaker 2: run that route the way he expect you to want

1384
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:04,360
Speaker 2: you to you you are there for him, not vice versa.

1385
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,760
Speaker 2: And for young receivers coming out where they were this

1386
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 2: guy where they're gonna get him. You know you're getting

1387
01:11:09,880 --> 01:11:13,400
Speaker 2: ninety percent of the target share on third down. You listen,

1388
01:11:13,439 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 2: here's what I'm gonna do. You get me the ball

1389
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,720
Speaker 2: when I get here. The kind of thing as not

1390
01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:19,120
Speaker 2: how that's not gonna fly at this level.

1391
01:11:19,240 --> 01:11:19,360
Speaker 3: Right.

1392
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,680
Speaker 1: So, in completing that comment that he made saying he

1393
01:11:22,800 --> 01:11:26,360
Speaker 1: has to be more demonstrative with his communication with the

1394
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 1: receiving court. Well, no, he also said this, it's about

1395
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:35,679
Speaker 1: being more committed to structure. So I wonder if maybe

1396
01:11:35,880 --> 01:11:38,160
Speaker 1: in reviewing the twenty twenty two season, and this is

1397
01:11:38,240 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 1: just a guess on my part. It could be way

1398
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 1: off on this, but this is just a guest, you know,

1399
01:11:42,360 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: a hypothesis. I wonder if in reviewing film with coach Dorsey,

1400
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:52,320
Speaker 1: maybe even koachmi Dermott, they saw that too much of

1401
01:11:52,400 --> 01:11:57,560
Speaker 1: their offense was played outside of structure. And while that

1402
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:02,200
Speaker 1: is definitely and unequivocally a major asset of what Josh

1403
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 1: brings to the table because he can make something that's

1404
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 1: completely blown up look fantastic, that's not the way you

1405
01:12:09,200 --> 01:12:12,360
Speaker 1: want to live every week. And so I wonder if

1406
01:12:13,320 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: they focus on perfecting the structure and execution of the

1407
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:23,200
Speaker 1: offense to the point where it isn't sandlot football even

1408
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,479
Speaker 1: some of the time. I'm not saying it's gonna go away,

1409
01:12:25,880 --> 01:12:28,559
Speaker 1: because that's still a part of his game. But I think,

1410
01:12:29,320 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 1: remember we talk about this, Steve, there were times last

1411
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 1: year where the offense looked like a heavy lift, and

1412
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,960
Speaker 1: a lot of times the only reason it was working,

1413
01:12:37,280 --> 01:12:40,519
Speaker 1: was because seventeen was putting the Superman capon. I think

1414
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:42,240
Speaker 1: they want to get to a place where he doesn't

1415
01:12:42,320 --> 01:12:44,560
Speaker 1: have to be superman if and that comes down to

1416
01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:48,800
Speaker 1: execution within the structure of the play calls right yes.

1417
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,519
Speaker 2: And here's the thing I think, joh we all know

1418
01:12:51,680 --> 01:12:54,280
Speaker 2: Josh is You know he's been called this golden retriever

1419
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:56,360
Speaker 2: of a player because everybody loves him, right, he's just

1420
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:00,960
Speaker 2: happy guy. Some of the great quarterbacks, the guy I

1421
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,320
Speaker 2: played with as well, Jim Kelly, and I know Dan

1422
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: Marina was this way. Elwah was this way. Certainly Dan

1423
01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 2: Fouts was this way. To a certain extent, Warren Moon

1424
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 2: was this way. Great quarterbacks when they say communicate with

1425
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:21,599
Speaker 2: their receivers, means the quarterback is there going yo run

1426
01:13:21,680 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 2: the play the way I want you to run it.

1427
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:26,840
Speaker 2: Do it, or you're not getting the ball, or you're

1428
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:28,680
Speaker 2: I'm sending you off the field. And this other guy

1429
01:13:28,720 --> 01:13:31,000
Speaker 2: that I like is coming on the field, do it

1430
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 2: the way I want you to do it, or sit down.

1431
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:36,360
Speaker 2: Quarterback has to be able to that's community. That is

1432
01:13:36,960 --> 01:13:40,439
Speaker 2: more open communication. That's what it means. And Josh, I

1433
01:13:40,479 --> 01:13:42,200
Speaker 2: don't think has it has had it in him in

1434
01:13:42,240 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: the past to be a guy to get at a

1435
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:46,560
Speaker 2: guy's face and say, listen, you ain't running that the

1436
01:13:46,600 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: way I want you to run it. Period, Get off

1437
01:13:50,240 --> 01:13:52,680
Speaker 2: the field and get that other guy on. When he

1438
01:13:52,800 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 2: takes that ownership, the message gets through because up until

1439
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:58,479
Speaker 2: now Josh as well, if he's not doing it the

1440
01:13:58,479 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: way I r on it, do it. I'm gonna put

1441
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,599
Speaker 2: the cape on. I'm gonna do it. My I'm gonna

1442
01:14:01,600 --> 01:14:04,720
Speaker 2: do this thing. If you want to stay in structure,

1443
01:14:05,479 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 2: Josh is gonna finger quote communicate with those guys. You

1444
01:14:09,280 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 2: do it the way I want you to do it,

1445
01:14:10,680 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 2: or you're gonna sit down. That's how it has historically worked.

1446
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:21,559
Speaker 2: Jim Jim Kelly, Dan Marino, Dan Fouts, John Elway.

1447
01:14:22,360 --> 01:14:23,760
Speaker 1: They'll just look at the head coach and say, get

1448
01:14:23,800 --> 01:14:24,320
Speaker 1: him off the field.

1449
01:14:24,360 --> 01:14:29,799
Speaker 2: That's exactly right, and it was and it's done. Aaron Rodgers.

1450
01:14:29,880 --> 01:14:32,040
Speaker 2: You think that guy didn't do that a couple of times.

1451
01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,519
Speaker 2: You don't think Tom Brady is out there telling Hey,

1452
01:14:35,600 --> 01:14:38,000
Speaker 2: you don't think those conversations happen with those guys.

1453
01:14:38,160 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: They do.

1454
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:42,080
Speaker 2: It's it's commonplace. And up to this point, Josh instead

1455
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,840
Speaker 2: of telling it how it's gonna be and get to

1456
01:14:44,920 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 2: the spot and do it that way, or you're sitting down.

1457
01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,479
Speaker 2: Josh just said, well, okay, if he's not gonna if

1458
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,760
Speaker 2: you're gonna do it that way, I'm just gonna put

1459
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:54,960
Speaker 2: my Superman cape on and we'll do it this other way.

1460
01:14:56,000 --> 01:14:57,880
Speaker 2: If you want to be committed to structure, it means

1461
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 2: your quarterback is gonna have to get a hammer out

1462
01:14:59,880 --> 01:15:01,960
Speaker 2: and hammer those guys to the shape he wants them.

1463
01:15:03,640 --> 01:15:06,559
Speaker 2: That's what I get out of that, and maybe Josh

1464
01:15:06,640 --> 01:15:06,960
Speaker 2: is I.

1465
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Speaker 1: Think that I think that's healthier for this offense number one,

1466
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:13,599
Speaker 1: because it makes everybody even more accountable, and it's healthier

1467
01:15:14,160 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 1: for Josh in terms of staying on the field and

1468
01:15:16,240 --> 01:15:17,880
Speaker 1: not getting so beat up by the end of the year.

1469
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:21,600
Speaker 2: Dude, I got I got a gazillion stories of quarterbacks

1470
01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:27,439
Speaker 2: who who communicated how they wanted that thing to go,

1471
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:34,519
Speaker 2: and they they're not pretty, but they're legendary because of it.

1472
01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:38,760
Speaker 2: So you take it, take it what you will. That's

1473
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:41,839
Speaker 2: that's kind of maybe another step of Josh's Llow evolution

1474
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:44,840
Speaker 2: where he has to, you know, he has to get

1475
01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: the club out and start hammering these guys with the way.

1476
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 2: We got to run this play so I don't have

1477
01:15:50,360 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 2: to pull the ball down and take off. So get

1478
01:15:54,120 --> 01:16:01,000
Speaker 2: it done. Or or Kenny and in the building those Kenny,

1479
01:16:01,520 --> 01:16:06,120
Speaker 2: that guy's out, that guy's in. Now that guy's out,

1480
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:08,799
Speaker 2: that guy's in. You know it has to it happens

1481
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,200
Speaker 2: like that. And I got I got a million stories

1482
01:16:11,320 --> 01:16:13,960
Speaker 2: like that. And that's not just the guys I played with.

1483
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 2: That's guys all over the NFL who were great quarterbacks.

1484
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:21,240
Speaker 2: That's how you get there. Yeah, so maybe we.

1485
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 1: Have to take a break here. But when we come back.

1486
01:16:23,560 --> 01:16:28,600
Speaker 1: Von Miller addressing the media after OTAs today, where is

1487
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:33,000
Speaker 1: he in his rehab from his partially torn acl suffered

1488
01:16:33,080 --> 01:16:37,000
Speaker 1: last Thanksgiving and how soon might he believe he can

1489
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:44,160
Speaker 1: return to play football. That's coming up next. We'll go

1490
01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:46,560
Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live Chris Brown, Steve tasking with

1491
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: you there is an update on Aaron Rodgers' injury at

1492
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:54,600
Speaker 1: OTAs in New York. He addressed the media, said he

1493
01:16:54,720 --> 01:16:59,720
Speaker 1: tweaked his calf in pre practice conditioning and decided to

1494
01:16:59,800 --> 01:17:04,200
Speaker 1: take a veteran rest day. He said he doesn't believe

1495
01:17:04,439 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 1: it's too serious. I'm telling you right now, Steve, we

1496
01:17:08,120 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: are one day away from a New York periodical's editorial asking,

1497
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:17,720
Speaker 1: is Aaron Rodgers too old to us to withstand the

1498
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: rigors of a seventeen game season when he strains a

1499
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:31,840
Speaker 1: calf not in practice, not practice, but pre practice conditioning. Yeah,

1500
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:34,920
Speaker 1: I'm on the guy's forty or thirty eight. I'm just

1501
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,559
Speaker 1: gonna prepare you right now. Oh, I know I am

1502
01:17:37,680 --> 01:17:42,560
Speaker 1: fanning the flames on all of this all season, So

1503
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:43,400
Speaker 1: just strap in.

1504
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:46,479
Speaker 2: That is to me, and you probably agree with this.

1505
01:17:46,880 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 2: I don't want to speak for you, but we talk

1506
01:17:48,840 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 2: so much. This is Aaron Rodgers is a good player,

1507
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,560
Speaker 2: great player, hall of fame, all that stuff. This is

1508
01:17:54,600 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 2: the real question about him in New York. It's not

1509
01:17:57,320 --> 01:17:59,240
Speaker 2: whether he's gonna gel with the it's.

1510
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:00,439
Speaker 1: Whether he's forty.

1511
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 2: He's forty, that's the question. That's the question. They're gonna

1512
01:18:05,800 --> 01:18:08,519
Speaker 2: they got an offer, they're putting the offensive line. Yet

1513
01:18:08,600 --> 01:18:12,760
Speaker 2: all that he's forty, that is the issue with Aaron

1514
01:18:12,840 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 2: Rodgers in New York.

1515
01:18:13,920 --> 01:18:16,760
Speaker 1: Stepping up to the podium after OTA practice today, he

1516
01:18:16,960 --> 01:18:20,320
Speaker 1: wasn't participating because he's still going through rehab after his

1517
01:18:20,439 --> 01:18:23,880
Speaker 1: partially torn acl on Thanksgiving in Detroit, but he had

1518
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 1: surgery in December, and things are looking up for one

1519
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: von Miller. He provides us with an update here where

1520
01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:31,000
Speaker 1: you're at?

1521
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 4: Do you have any sort of timeline or anything like that. No,

1522
01:18:33,680 --> 01:18:36,639
Speaker 4: I'm good man, I'm in a great spot. I think

1523
01:18:36,680 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 4: it's five five months. In a week, in a couple

1524
01:18:39,080 --> 01:18:42,840
Speaker 4: of days, I feel like I could do way I

1525
01:18:42,880 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 4: feel like I could do way more, which I feel

1526
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,519
Speaker 4: like that's a good sign. But you know, you got

1527
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,080
Speaker 4: nine months to really, you know, figure everything out, and

1528
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,600
Speaker 4: there's no reason to force it in five months or

1529
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 4: six months or even seven months. So I'm in a

1530
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 4: great spot. I think going ahead and having the surgery

1531
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,000
Speaker 4: back in December it allowed me a little bit more

1532
01:19:00,040 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 4: more time to get ready for this season. So I

1533
01:19:02,479 --> 01:19:04,280
Speaker 4: don't have any complaints. The only complaint that I have

1534
01:19:04,479 --> 01:19:06,320
Speaker 4: in my whole entire life is not being able to

1535
01:19:06,360 --> 01:19:08,080
Speaker 4: be out there with my guys. But as far as

1536
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:13,240
Speaker 4: UH rehab, uh family life at home, like teammates, everything's good.

1537
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 3: I'm in a good spot.

1538
01:19:14,240 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: So what are you like right now?

1539
01:19:16,040 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 2: What stage are you at physically?

1540
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 3: And then maybe once the next step for me?

1541
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:22,000
Speaker 4: Alright? You know I've been I've been running and been

1542
01:19:22,080 --> 01:19:24,519
Speaker 4: running and I haven't really got to like cuts and

1543
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 4: you know, every everything like that, but strengthening up my

1544
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:31,559
Speaker 4: leg running, I've I've done some d line like work,

1545
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:33,680
Speaker 4: not at a fast pace, but just to start the

1546
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 4: groundwork of me getting back to who I was. So

1547
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 4: I feel comfortable with everything. Each and every day I

1548
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:40,760
Speaker 4: come out here. Each and every day I put on

1549
01:19:40,840 --> 01:19:42,400
Speaker 4: the cleats and I do things I feel more and

1550
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 4: more uncomfortable. So we add up all of these days

1551
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:46,519
Speaker 4: that we have left in the off season up into

1552
01:19:46,560 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 4: the season, you know. And that's why that's why I say,

1553
01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 4: I you know, I sh I should be good. I'm

1554
01:19:50,320 --> 01:19:51,080
Speaker 4: I'm in a great spot.

1555
01:19:51,600 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 2: It harder you.

1556
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:54,439
Speaker 6: Could be out there or watch it going.

1557
01:19:54,560 --> 01:19:55,760
Speaker 3: How bad these are to me with that?

1558
01:19:56,080 --> 01:19:58,559
Speaker 7: Or does it make it easier being so close.

1559
01:19:58,400 --> 01:19:59,599
Speaker 2: To the game in real life?

1560
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:02,560
Speaker 4: And it honestly, just coming up here to work for

1561
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:05,760
Speaker 4: me like is great, whether I'm practicing or not. I

1562
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:07,719
Speaker 4: think I really got ac customed to that during the season,

1563
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 4: like on Wednesdays, like I you know, I went practice

1564
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:11,920
Speaker 4: and so really just got a custom to just being

1565
01:20:11,960 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 4: around the guys, still being able to be a leader

1566
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,320
Speaker 4: and giving advice and and showing guys.

1567
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:17,639
Speaker 1: The right way.

1568
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:20,240
Speaker 4: But I have a a different path to get back

1569
01:20:20,240 --> 01:20:21,880
Speaker 4: to where they are. You know, I'm not just taking

1570
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 4: the rest day. I gotta do rehab, make sure my

1571
01:20:24,400 --> 01:20:28,360
Speaker 4: leg is strong. So it's, uh, it's not tough because

1572
01:20:28,439 --> 01:20:31,400
Speaker 4: I still walk around and you know all the players

1573
01:20:31,479 --> 01:20:33,559
Speaker 4: and the media and the new coaches they bring out here,

1574
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:36,479
Speaker 4: and I'm still firmly you know what we doing, man,

1575
01:20:36,560 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 4: So it's it's not tough at all.

1576
01:20:38,320 --> 01:20:38,439
Speaker 1: Man.

1577
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 4: But if I had a choice to be on a

1578
01:20:41,080 --> 01:20:43,360
Speaker 4: sideline lesser and I I would pick Russian the passer

1579
01:20:43,479 --> 01:20:44,040
Speaker 4: every time.

1580
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,479
Speaker 1: On uh shame rate.

1581
01:20:48,840 --> 01:20:49,599
Speaker 3: Oh it was great, man.

1582
01:20:49,680 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 4: That that is my guy. You know, I I love Chain.

1583
01:20:54,080 --> 01:20:55,720
Speaker 4: You know I was with him in in Denver for

1584
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:59,920
Speaker 4: four years. You know I I know how hard these

1585
01:20:59,920 --> 01:21:03,200
Speaker 4: we work outside of every what everybody else sees. You know,

1586
01:21:03,360 --> 01:21:05,040
Speaker 4: I know how hard he works. I know how hard

1587
01:21:05,080 --> 01:21:06,960
Speaker 4: he wants it. I know how bad he wants it.

1588
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,799
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty, when COVID hit, we literally we literally

1589
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 4: worked every single day, two workouts today.

Speaker 7: We had the chef.

1591
01:21:15,360 --> 01:21:17,519
Speaker 4: We did everything in our power to be successful, like

1592
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 4: we grind it together. Every single day. We went and

1593
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,479
Speaker 4: got tattoos together. We went and we spent so much

1594
01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:25,800
Speaker 4: time and if you look at him, but you look

1595
01:21:25,800 --> 01:21:27,920
Speaker 4: at his swag and you look at my swag like

1596
01:21:28,040 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 4: it's it's a whole lot, you know, it's a whole

1597
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:33,400
Speaker 4: lot similar because that is that is truly my brother, man.

1598
01:21:33,479 --> 01:21:36,000
Speaker 4: And I was blown away when we when we signed

1599
01:21:36,040 --> 01:21:38,880
Speaker 4: a man to not be in the NFL for four

1600
01:21:39,000 --> 01:21:40,880
Speaker 4: years and have the opportunity to come back. I know

1601
01:21:41,040 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 4: he's I know he's through the roof to have this opportunity. Man,

1602
01:21:43,600 --> 01:21:45,720
Speaker 4: I'm gonna do everything in my power, you know, to

1603
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:47,559
Speaker 4: make sure that happens for him. And I'm sure he's

1604
01:21:47,560 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 4: gonna do it. He's gonna do it for himself as well.

1605
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:51,120
Speaker 4: But you know, he's got a friend of me, he's

1606
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,040
Speaker 4: got a brother in me, man, And I'm gonna do

1607
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,320
Speaker 4: whatever it takes to, you know, make sure it happens

1608
01:21:55,360 --> 01:21:55,639
Speaker 4: for him.

1609
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,760
Speaker 7: Whose idea was it to go.

1610
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,479
Speaker 4: To get tattoos, to go and get uh it's me U,

1611
01:22:01,560 --> 01:22:03,680
Speaker 4: you know, uh, you know, you know I'm a tattooed guy.

1612
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:05,760
Speaker 4: You know he's a tattoo guy too, you know, you

1613
01:22:05,880 --> 01:22:07,720
Speaker 4: know it's it was it was both our ideas, man,

1614
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:10,799
Speaker 4: and especially when I was younger. Now it's like a tattoo.

1615
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:12,360
Speaker 4: Like if I got to get a tattoo now, it's

1616
01:22:12,439 --> 01:22:15,679
Speaker 4: it makes my palm sweat, and you know, I get nervous.

1617
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:17,479
Speaker 4: And but when I was young, like I could just

1618
01:22:17,479 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 4: sit down there and get tattooed anytime of the day,

1619
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:21,799
Speaker 4: all day. I think when you get older, like tattoos

1620
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:24,599
Speaker 4: a little they're a little bit more painful. But yeah,

1621
01:22:24,600 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 4: it was, it was it was, uh my idea, man,

1622
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:28,080
Speaker 4: I I've been big on tattoos for a long time.

1623
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:29,800
Speaker 2: Did you like this tattooers?

1624
01:22:30,040 --> 01:22:32,080
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, you know we're close.

1625
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 3: Not that club, not that close.

1626
01:22:35,880 --> 01:22:41,120
Speaker 2: What Sean McDermott kind of a new role head coach coordinator.

1627
01:22:41,200 --> 01:22:42,000
Speaker 7: What's different about it?

1628
01:22:42,040 --> 01:22:42,519
Speaker 2: And what do you do?

1629
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:46,320
Speaker 4: Same coach McDermott. You know, he's he's a defensive money coach.

1630
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 4: It's been a defensive coordinator before. It just feels like

1631
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:52,639
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator. Coach McDermott. You know, he was always president,

1632
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:55,400
Speaker 4: he was always in the defensive room anyway, so it

1633
01:22:55,560 --> 01:22:58,160
Speaker 4: just feels like, you know, it just feels like coach McDermott.

1634
01:22:58,200 --> 01:22:59,880
Speaker 4: And there he does a great job coaching. And I

1635
01:23:00,120 --> 01:23:03,640
Speaker 4: think the energy that he has because he is the

1636
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:07,280
Speaker 4: head coach. But he's coaching the defense. It just just

1637
01:23:07,720 --> 01:23:10,439
Speaker 4: commands more out of you know, the guys in there.

1638
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,759
Speaker 4: When we had Coach Fraser, of course we all respected

1639
01:23:12,840 --> 01:23:15,200
Speaker 4: Coach Fraser and you know he was the legendary coach

1640
01:23:15,280 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 4: as well. But Coach McDermott, he's the head man. So

1641
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:19,880
Speaker 4: if I'm one of these young guys and I'm trying

1642
01:23:19,920 --> 01:23:22,160
Speaker 4: to make the team, I know, I know I have

1643
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 4: eyes on it because he's the defensive coordinator and the

1644
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 4: head coach. So it's just it's just a it's just

1645
01:23:29,360 --> 01:23:31,600
Speaker 4: the command of energy. It's a whole lot closer to

1646
01:23:31,680 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 4: you now.

1647
01:23:32,040 --> 01:23:32,960
Speaker 3: And you know I like it.

1648
01:23:33,120 --> 01:23:34,840
Speaker 4: I like coach McDermott, you know, I like the way

1649
01:23:34,880 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 4: he coaches. Yeah, it should be great, man. We you know,

1650
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:40,400
Speaker 4: he was always, like I said, he was always president.

1651
01:23:40,439 --> 01:23:42,799
Speaker 4: He was always giving points throughout the whole entire season.

1652
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,360
Speaker 4: So now he's just full time in.

1653
01:23:44,360 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 2: There and BOGI for the first time about this time

Speaker 4: I heard it from my agent. We have the same agent,

1693
01:25:25,840 --> 01:25:27,920
Speaker 4: and he told me, man, it felt like, you know,

1694
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,600
Speaker 4: I was signing to the Buffalo Bills again because you know,

1695
01:25:30,680 --> 01:25:32,479
Speaker 4: I know him like the back of my hand. I

1696
01:25:32,640 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 4: know how hard he works, you know, to not be

1697
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:37,640
Speaker 4: in the NFL for four years and then to come

01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,000
Speaker 7: His birthday was just the other day.

1701
01:25:43,080 --> 01:25:46,960

Speaker 4: So to be back in the NFL. Surprise birthday party.

Speaker 4: Family's healthy man he's on top of the world. Man,

1705
01:25:55,479 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 4: to lead him in the right direction to make sure

1706
01:25:57,720 --> 01:25:59,880
Speaker 4: that he makes this team and he accomplishes. All this

1707
01:26:00,080 --> 01:26:01,760
Speaker 4: goes that he that he's dreamed of a.

1708
01:26:01,800 --> 01:26:05,519
Speaker 1: Win's several o kids, Now what type of teams th ain't.

1709
01:26:05,360 --> 01:26:08,320
Speaker 4: Happen during the time For me at this point now,

1710
01:26:08,400 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 4: I honestly feel like it's just it's you build the

1711
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 4: spirit of the corps, you build the camaraderie. Of course

1712
01:26:14,720 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 4: we're out here working, but just being around the guys.

1713
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,400
Speaker 4: We got thirty three percent of our roster is is

1714
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:22,040
Speaker 4: brand new, you know, And I I like being around guys,

1715
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 4: especially for the first time, you know. I like to

1716
01:26:24,439 --> 01:26:26,640
Speaker 4: go up to guys and introduce myself, let 'em, let

1717
01:26:26,720 --> 01:26:28,680
Speaker 4: 'em know that I'm wanted, Like I'm wanna y'all, like

1718
01:26:28,720 --> 01:26:30,720
Speaker 4: I'm I'm here to hang out. And I f like

1719
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:33,000
Speaker 4: I said before, I feel like that's where leadership starts.

1720
01:26:33,720 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 4: I can't ask anybody to do to go above and

1721
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:38,760
Speaker 4: be on on the football field. If I don't know

1722
01:26:38,800 --> 01:26:40,960
Speaker 4: they kids, if I don't know what high school they

1723
01:26:41,040 --> 01:26:42,840
Speaker 4: went to, if I don't know what college they went

1724
01:26:42,880 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 4: to if I don't know what makes them go or

1725
01:26:45,240 --> 01:26:47,080
Speaker 4: or or what if I don't if I don't really

1726
01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,679
Speaker 4: know my guys, then how can I lead these guys?

1727
01:26:49,800 --> 01:26:51,479
Speaker 4: And this is the opportunity to really get to know

1728
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:53,479
Speaker 4: all of these guys, man, and and I love it.

1729
01:26:53,560 --> 01:26:55,439
Speaker 4: I love being around the guy. It's not about wins

1730
01:26:55,520 --> 01:26:58,040
Speaker 4: or losses right now. It's about working, trying to get

1731
01:26:58,080 --> 01:27:01,439
Speaker 4: our team to to to a level where we can

1732
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:04,439
Speaker 4: go and compete and really just learning these guys. Man.

1733
01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,360
Speaker 4: And this is one of my favorite parts about OTA

1734
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 4: is not actually being here because obviously, you know, it's

1735
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 4: all type of stuff that we could be doing right now.

1736
01:27:10,720 --> 01:27:13,280
Speaker 4: But the thing that stands out for me is just

1737
01:27:13,320 --> 01:27:14,719
Speaker 4: spending time with my teammates.

1738
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:16,320
Speaker 7: That would that will carry.

1739
01:27:16,200 --> 01:27:17,920
Speaker 3: Over into the football season for sure.

1740
01:27:19,520 --> 01:27:21,760
Speaker 1: The offense while was going on and you can send

1741
01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: whether you want, but can you get a little bit

1742
01:27:23,160 --> 01:27:23,320
Speaker 1: from that?

1743
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 2: Can you you were talking to Josh, can.

1744
01:27:24,960 --> 01:27:27,840
Speaker 1: You even enhance what you're learning if you're playing.

1745
01:27:27,560 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 2: You're obviously that.

1746
01:27:28,960 --> 01:27:31,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, I hate I hate out of time. So when

1747
01:27:31,280 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 4: I'm out there, I'm not necessary. When I'm over the defense,

1748
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:37,360
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it from I'm doing mental reps when

1749
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,360
Speaker 4: I come back and when I get ready to play,

1750
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,599
Speaker 4: when I move over to the offense, I'm looking at

1751
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:46,880
Speaker 4: it from a player development, player evaluation, like a GM standpoint,

1752
01:27:47,040 --> 01:27:50,560
Speaker 4: Like looking at these guys this offense, A quarterback on

1753
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 4: my second string guys, a third string guys, a fourth

1754
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:55,879
Speaker 4: string guys, four string receivers. I look at you know, everybody.

1755
01:27:55,880 --> 01:27:58,679
Speaker 4: It's easier for me over there because when I'm on defense,

1756
01:27:58,680 --> 01:28:00,360
Speaker 4: I'm looking at it whatever call that we have where

1757
01:28:00,360 --> 01:28:02,439
Speaker 4: I'm supposed to fit, I'm gonna working with the D

1758
01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:04,200
Speaker 4: line guys. They're asking me stuff. And when I go

1759
01:28:04,439 --> 01:28:06,720
Speaker 4: to the offensive side of the ball, it's more of

1760
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 4: a team evaluation, player evaluation standpoint. Put my GM hat on. Okay,

1761
01:28:11,360 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 4: this guy he's super good. You know, he's not getting

1762
01:28:14,040 --> 01:28:16,320
Speaker 4: a lot of reps. But this guy has talent, you know,

1763
01:28:16,400 --> 01:28:17,800
Speaker 4: and I just I just look at it from that

1764
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:20,280
Speaker 4: point of view. And whatever side of defense I'm on, man,

1765
01:28:20,360 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 4: I just I just enjoy being out there and just

1766
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:23,479
Speaker 4: hanging out with the guys for sure.

1767
01:28:24,080 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 1: All right, that's Von Miller addressing the media. We are

1768
01:28:26,280 --> 01:28:28,000
Speaker 1: up against the break, but when we come back, Steve

1769
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:29,679
Speaker 1: and I close it up with some thoughts on Vaughn's

1770
01:28:29,680 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: comments about his rehab. Next here on One Bill's Life,

1771
01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 1: I get some final thoughts on what von Miller said.

1772
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:52,120
Speaker 1: He said he's ahead of schedule, believes having surgery not

1773
01:28:52,360 --> 01:28:55,360
Speaker 1: long after he suffered the injury in December put him

1774
01:28:55,400 --> 01:28:57,080
Speaker 1: on a track to be a head of schedule. Here,

1775
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:00,840
Speaker 1: the question is when, which we're all gonna have to

1776
01:29:00,880 --> 01:29:02,120
Speaker 1: wait on a little bit more here.

1777
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:05,599
Speaker 2: Yeah, it doesn't seem to be like a catastrophic knee

1778
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:07,720
Speaker 2: injury like we've seen other guys have. He seems to

1779
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:08,719
Speaker 2: be on a faster track.

1780
01:29:08,800 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: We'll see.

1781
01:29:10,040 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 2: Certainly he's not gonna lack effort of putting it in.

1782
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:15,240
Speaker 2: We've seen him around the building and all of that.

1783
01:29:15,439 --> 01:29:18,400
Speaker 2: And the other thing is, like they always do, this

1784
01:29:18,520 --> 01:29:21,880
Speaker 2: team is very cautious with the players. They protect the

1785
01:29:21,960 --> 01:29:24,360
Speaker 2: players from themselves. So I don't think there's any chance

1786
01:29:24,400 --> 01:29:25,760
Speaker 2: that Don'll come back too early.

1787
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:28,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, although he said he's still doing like light D

1788
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:31,560
Speaker 1: line drills already on the side by himself. He is

1789
01:29:31,600 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: a freaking nature. More OTA coverage this week. We'll see

1790
01:29:35,240 --> 01:29:36,040
Speaker 1: you tomorrow at one
