00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 1: This One Bills Live, presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: Good afternoon, everybody, It's a Monday, and we are in

3
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,600
Speaker 2: the last week of June. How did that happen? Chris Brown,

4
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Maddi clab with you, Steve on Vaca this week, and

5
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: this is going to be a popular thing that's going

6
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,560
Speaker 2: to be taking place during about the only stretch in

7
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: the calendar where people like Maddie and myself who are

8
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,520
Speaker 2: NFL employees have to have time to take off. It's

9
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 2: the only dead period really in the NFL calendar. So

10
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 2: there will be people in and out over the course

11
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 2: of the next three four weeks, so we'll keep the

12
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:16,800
Speaker 2: thing moving. Actually will be going dark next week, which

13
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 2: is the ultimate dead week here at One Bill's Drive,

14
00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 2: because I can tell you right now, Maddie, myself and

15
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:27,200
Speaker 2: the people in the control room probably make up about

16
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: eighty five percent of the people in this building. But

17
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 2: that's the time of year that it is. Now the

18
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: building is a lot fuller because Jim Kelly's got his

19
00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: football camp going on here in the fieldhouse and there's

20
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:45,479
Speaker 2: kids running here, there and everywhere, as is usually the case,

21
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,559
Speaker 2: sold out once again this year, So just a fantastic

22
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: run by Jim. I mean, this guy is like almost

23
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,600
Speaker 2: thirty years removed from playing, and his camp is as

24
00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 2: popular as it's ever been. It really is a testament

25
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: to Jim the person more so than Jim even as

26
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 2: a player and a Hall of famer. So kudos to

27
00:02:05,360 --> 00:02:08,720
Speaker 2: him for still keeping it rolling because it's enormously popular

28
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 2: and it just doesn't seem to change, which is great.

29
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 2: It's great to see Western New York still turn out

30
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 2: and get their kids to this camp where they learn

31
00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:18,079
Speaker 2: a lot of stuff, both on the field and off.

32
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: So good to see Jim. I saw him addressing the

33
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 2: media earlier today that was out here to kind of

34
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 2: report on his camp and whatnot. So that was good

35
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 2: to see. And I know you saw it. There's about

36
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,000
Speaker 2: four hundred kids running around it and.

37
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: I was like, what is going on today? There are

38
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 3: so many cars in the parking lot. It's the end

39
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 3: of June. Where did everybody come from? Yeah, well, yeah,

40
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: we had nobody's around there.

41
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,239
Speaker 2: We had to park in a different lot this morning

42
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:44,680
Speaker 2: because they left the field house a lot open for

43
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,840
Speaker 2: all the parents driving the kids in to camp. And

44
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,520
Speaker 2: it's nice, you know Jim and his crew here. They

45
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 2: let the parents that want to stay. You know, maybe

46
00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,080
Speaker 2: they got some of the kids on the younger end

47
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: eight and under, they want to stay all day kind

48
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: of keep an eye on things. He's totally fine, He's

49
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 2: cool with it. And you know, they all got their

50
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,800
Speaker 2: fold out pop up chairs and they're just hanging out,

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 2: running to Tim Horton's coming back. There's just I don't know,

52
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 2: I just remember those camp days, so it's kind of

53
00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: good to see some activity in the building when the

54
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,519
Speaker 2: place is practically a ghost town. But we've got another

55
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: week to bring to you, and we, you know, creep

56
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 2: one week closer to training camp. I don't think either

57
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: of us are ready for it quite yet, but we

58
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,480
Speaker 2: know it is on the horizon and it is fast approaching,

59
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: and so we'll get to our bills topic in short order.

60
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:38,600
Speaker 2: There isn't a tremendous amount of stuff going on around

61
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 2: the league, but there are a few little tidbits that

62
00:03:42,600 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 2: we wanted to pass along to you. There was one list,

63
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 2: Maddie that Bill Barnwell from ESPN dot com put out

64
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:57,200
Speaker 2: top team skill position rankings, and this does not include quarterback. Basically,

65
00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 2: the talent level of each team's roster at receiver running

66
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: back and tight end. The Bills on this list of

67
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 2: thirty two teams. Obviously in the NFL ranked twentieth. Last year,

68
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:16,799
Speaker 2: they were ranked ninth, and I found that very interesting

69
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 2: because the receiving corps only has three returning players from

70
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 2: last year and they dropped to twentieth. So actually they

71
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,160
Speaker 2: were ninth, and twenty twenty one tenth and twenty twenty

72
00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: two they dropped from tenth to twentieth. And the reason

73
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: he cites for the downgrade is Gabe Davis coming off

74
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:45,280
Speaker 2: a subpar season last year, and then he also threw

75
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 2: in how Dawson Knox's touchdown total went down from nine

76
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 2: to six from twenty one to twenty two. Those are

77
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,680
Speaker 2: his major reasons. And even though Dalton Kincaid is an

78
00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,360
Speaker 2: exciting new option in the passing game, his research and

79
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 2: history shows that rookie tight ends don't always set the

80
00:05:05,040 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: world on fire as anticipated. I don't know about that, though.

81
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: I think he might be an exception to the rule.

82
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of him in the spring. He's

83
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: getting a lot of time run in the spring. And

84
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 2: I know the pads aren't on yet right and it's

85
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: not true physical football yet, but it seems I don't

86
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 2: know about you, but it seemed to me the offensive

87
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,640
Speaker 2: staff was making a concerted effort to get him as

88
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 2: much time on the field as possible.

89
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:38,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that makes sense regardless of the role

90
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 3: he's going to play this year within the offense, your

91
00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:46,599
Speaker 3: first round pick offense or defense, even if they're going

92
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: to have a small role, even if you're planning for

93
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,640
Speaker 3: them to be folded into the mix later on in

94
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 3: the season, however that may look, it makes sense to

95
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 3: throw him out there right now when you have throughout

96
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:02,680
Speaker 3: OTA's and I know mandatory Mini camp was mandatory, but

97
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: OTAs you have some guys that aren't there, you're able

98
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,840
Speaker 3: to get some more reps some of those younger guys.

99
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:10,440
Speaker 3: Dawson Knox was around for a lot of OTAs and

100
00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:14,520
Speaker 3: was there for mandatory Mini camp, but it's a good

101
00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: introductory period for these guys. Without the pads, you're going

102
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 3: slow tempo. Usually they do do some team periods, but

103
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 3: they're stopping throughout those team periods to teach and to

104
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:31,039
Speaker 3: fix and to have veterans show some of the younger

105
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 3: guys these are how this is how this thing should

106
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 3: have been done. Do it this way. You ran this

107
00:06:36,520 --> 00:06:38,719
Speaker 3: route this way, let's tweak it to be this way.

108
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,080
Speaker 3: You saw Josh Allen talking to a lot of the

109
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 3: receivers and a lot of the offensive players throughout practices

110
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,040
Speaker 3: and things like that, so it's a time for everybody

111
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 3: to start to get on to that right page. So

112
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 3: it was good to see Dalton Kinkaid in the mix

113
00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,919
Speaker 3: there as much as possible, and I would expect to

114
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 3: see a lot of the same in training camp. If

115
00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 3: they want this guy, if they want this tight end

116
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 3: to be a part of this offense. You look at him,

117
00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 3: you look at the tape that he had in college,

118
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 3: you look at his makeup and everything that people have

119
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 3: said about him, and it makes sense to want to

120
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 3: have him in the mix. With the offense that we

121
00:07:16,920 --> 00:07:18,840
Speaker 3: had last season, there's a lot of newness in the

122
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 3: wide receiver room. Like you said, this is somebody who

123
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 3: could be a type of X factor, not a gadget

124
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 3: guy like Isaah McKenzie at all, but a big slot person.

125
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 3: And we know how important that slot role is for

126
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,640
Speaker 3: Josh Allen as a quarterback. Yes, it was more important

127
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 3: as he was a younger quarterback, kind of as a

128
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:41,600
Speaker 3: fail safe option for him within the offense, but having

129
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 3: a big slot. If this is the role that Dalan

130
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: kincaid is going to play, or being able to move

131
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 3: him around the offense, you're gonna want him to have

132
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 3: as many reps as possible as he moves along that

133
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:53,960
Speaker 3: line on the offense.

134
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 2: Barnwell did give the Bills credit for reshaping the running

135
00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: back room. He liked the acquisition of Damian Harris, who

136
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 2: he would expect the Bills to utilize much the same

137
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,160
Speaker 2: way the Chiefs last year used Isaiah Pacheco, kind of

138
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 2: that downhill running threat to pound light boxes and punish

139
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 2: them for yards. And I would tend to agree with that.

140
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 2: I do think it's going to be a committee backfield,

141
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,000
Speaker 2: and that's probably a discussion we'll have on another day

142
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,080
Speaker 2: at some point in time before we get to training camp.

143
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 2: But the bottom line is nobody believes anything is proven

144
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball, aside from Allen

145
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 2: and Dicks, and I think that's why people look at

146
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: Buffalo's offense and say, well, they're gonna have to prove it.

147
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 2: It's funny they don't even mention Trent sherfielder Deontay Hardy

148
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,520
Speaker 2: anywhere in Barnwell's write up for those wondering, the Chiefs

149
00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:56,040
Speaker 2: were nineteenth. The highest ranked AFC East club was Miami

150
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:03,359
Speaker 2: at eight, and the top three teams Maddie were San Francisco, Cincinnati,

151
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 2: and Philadelphia. On this rankings list, they were one, two,

152
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: and three. I would just submit all three of those

153
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: teams have quarterbacks on a rookie deal, so it's easy

154
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 2: to accumulate a lot of other talent at the other

155
00:09:23,320 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 2: skilled positions when your quarterbacks still on a rookie deal,

156
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,240
Speaker 2: whether it's Trey Lancer, Brock Purty in San frans imateial

157
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 2: we're talking about the financial commitment here. The Bengals are

158
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: eventually going to be paying Joe Burrow, maybe even before

159
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 2: the season starts when he gets a monster extension. But

160
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: this is where the rubber meets the road. For Cincinnati,

161
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,480
Speaker 2: they're going to have to change their roster much the

162
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 2: way we've seen the Chiefs and the Bills change their

163
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,199
Speaker 2: roster after they had to pay the quarterback. Philadelphia is

164
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: probably still a year or two away, but they're all

165
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 2: going to be traveling down that road sooner or later.

166
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,559
Speaker 3: The Ravens are fifteen, They've had to pay their quarterback.

167
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 3: As well, So you did it. They just did it.

168
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: You see teams who have quarterbacks on second and third

169
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,720
Speaker 3: contracts that are a little bit closer to the twenties

170
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: teams rather than being one, two, and three. Things are

171
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 3: going to change for Cincinnati in the next couple of years.

172
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,600
Speaker 3: I'm interested to see what that number is going to

173
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:22,040
Speaker 3: be for their quarterback and also see what changes within

174
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:25,120
Speaker 3: the offense. Who can they afford with some of those

175
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 3: wide outs, how do they make some of those tweaks

176
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,679
Speaker 3: to the roster, because we've seen the Chiefs do it

177
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 3: over the last few years. The Bills have had to

178
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 3: do over the last couple of years, and it changes

179
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 3: what you can and can't do on offense.

180
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, t higgins contract is up after this year, and

181
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 2: the general consensus is if you're paying Burrow over fifty

182
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,600
Speaker 2: million a year and you got to sign Jamar Chase

183
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,440
Speaker 2: in the next year or two, you can't pay two

184
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 2: receivers that kind of money when you're paying your quarterback

185
00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 2: over fifty million a year. So it's probably t higgins

186
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,560
Speaker 2: last season in Cincinnati. So if they're going to make

187
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 2: it happen, it's got to happen this year because things

188
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 2: going to change. As you pointed out, I.

189
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:06,080
Speaker 3: Was reading the NFL did a urgency meter for a

190
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 3: bunch of teams they posted a few days ago. I

191
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 3: don't know if you guys.

192
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,240
Speaker 2: Are yeah, we're talking to the show.

193
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you to your point. The Bengals are up

194
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 3: there too. They're at nine point four, which is the

195
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 3: fourth highest urgency meter part of the teams that were

196
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 3: in this write up. Because Joe Burrow is still on

197
00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 3: that rookie deal, you got to try and get it done.

198
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 3: Is it gonna work for them?

199
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 2: Charge your same thing with Herbert, you know, So those

200
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,880
Speaker 2: rosters will have to change considerably once they pay their

201
00:11:34,920 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 2: quarterbacks the money they're probably going to be demanding here

202
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 2: sooner rather than later. There is NFLPA news that's expected

203
00:11:42,640 --> 00:11:46,440
Speaker 2: to come down this week. NFLPA leaders are expected to

204
00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 2: elect a new executive director by Thursday of this week,

205
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 2: so union people on the union staff have been asked

206
00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 2: to attend a meet and greet with a new leader

207
00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:07,120
Speaker 2: on June twenty ninth, That is Thursday. Senior staff had

208
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,479
Speaker 2: to be there earlier. They will be there on Tuesday

209
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 2: and Wednesday, and that's when player reps from each team

210
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: will be there. So the search has been a mystery.

211
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:25,959
Speaker 2: Like some of the most plugged in national reporters that

212
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 2: cover these kinds of things, they do not have a

213
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 2: single name as to who the candidates are. I'm shocked

214
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 2: at this day and age, Maddie that we have seen

215
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,040
Speaker 2: no names as to who the new executive director could be.

216
00:12:39,120 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 2: May we even seen a candidate's list? Like nothing? I mean,

217
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's down to a short list now, probably

218
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 2: like two or three people, but they may have already

219
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 2: whittled that down to a single person and then they're

220
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: just gonna have all the player reps feel the person

221
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 2: out and say is this the right person for the job,

222
00:12:56,120 --> 00:13:00,160
Speaker 2: because as we know, Demorris Smith is going out I

223
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,680
Speaker 2: think in the next year or two here, and this

224
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:06,960
Speaker 2: will be the new executive director of the NFLPA, which

225
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 2: is probably a good time for them to do it.

226
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 2: You know, there's still a good deal of time left

227
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 2: on the current CBA which was just extended, so you know,

228
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 2: it's a good time if you're going to make a

229
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: change at the top. To make a change at the top,

230
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: you don't want to do it when you're six months

231
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: out from the new CBA negotiation. Let the new person

232
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:26,440
Speaker 2: kind of get their feet under him and get settled

233
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,880
Speaker 2: into the role. But I am stunned that people like,

234
00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 2: there's too many people in the NFLPA for that not

235
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:35,000
Speaker 2: to leak.

236
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,600
Speaker 3: Keeping a secret for about a month with all this

237
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 3: stuff crazy, but it makes sense to This is the

238
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 3: time for some of these things to happen, to things

239
00:13:43,400 --> 00:13:47,360
Speaker 3: like this shifts and naming new people to an executive

240
00:13:47,400 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 3: director role in the off season before things get busy.

241
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 3: Like you said before the new CBA, all of that

242
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,040
Speaker 3: stuff happens in June and July, even even when players

243
00:13:58,080 --> 00:13:59,560
Speaker 3: and coaches aren't around.

244
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,160
Speaker 2: I imagine it'll leak before we get to Thursday, because

245
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 2: now you're bringing player reps in and those are players

246
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 2: who you know.

247
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 3: People are going to know the secret here you have.

248
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,200
Speaker 2: Real access to. I just I can't believe it's been

249
00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 2: kept quiet for almost a month. As you pointed out,

250
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. This story makes me laugh. There was

251
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 2: a suspect alleged to be selling dirt online claiming the

252
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:36,960
Speaker 2: dirt is from the Bill's new stadiums, so whether the

253
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 2: dirt is legitimately from the site or not is probably

254
00:14:40,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: up for debate. If it is, though, the Erie County

255
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:47,040
Speaker 2: DA is going to have to be on the case.

256
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 2: John Flynn is going to have to investigate that because

257
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: if the dirt is in fact from the site, it's

258
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 2: going to be trespassing, like criminal trespassing, all that kind

259
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 2: of of stuff. Did you see anybody like walking off

260
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:04,120
Speaker 2: with a pocket full of dirt out there at the

261
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 2: groundbreaking manage?

262
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:05,160
Speaker 4: No?

263
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 3: I did not. But we had a conversation after the

264
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 3: groundbreaking ceremony, me and a couple of coworkers, and we said,

265
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 3: you know, people sell dirt, they sell sand. Tom Brady retired,

266
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: the sand was being sold from the beach to where

267
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: he around from where he retired, We said, we would

268
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 3: not be surprised if dirt starts to be sold lo

269
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 3: and behold a couple of days it starts to pop

270
00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 3: up on eBay or wherever it was being sold or listed.

271
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: Not surprised at all. It made me laugh, but I

272
00:15:40,160 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 3: am not surprised.

273
00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 2: It was funny though, because I mentioned how trespassing could

274
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,680
Speaker 2: be one of the charges if they weren't a is

275
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,480
Speaker 2: authorized to be at the construction site. But they could

276
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 2: also be charged with theft if they were allowed to

277
00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:59,000
Speaker 2: be there but didn't get permission to take the dirt.

278
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 2: It's like, hey, could you see this? Now? What are

279
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,400
Speaker 2: you in for? I'm in for theft and embezzlement. Oh really,

280
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 2: but just how much money you take?

281
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:07,880
Speaker 5: No?

282
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,560
Speaker 2: I wasn't money. Oh would you steal like some artwork

283
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 2: or something out of a gallery. No, I stole some dirt.

284
00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 3: Come again, some expensive dirt.

285
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 2: Now. This is the only reason why I'm still laughing

286
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,080
Speaker 2: is because when I first started in radio, I started

287
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: at an oldies station and we gave away firewood on

288
00:16:28,800 --> 00:16:32,080
Speaker 2: the air. People would call I gave I'm not lying

289
00:16:32,120 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 2: when I say this. I gave away topsoil on the air.

290
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 2: We had a top soil sponsor, like a yard and

291
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: landscaping sponsor, and I would give away top soil on

292
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 2: the air, and people would call for free dirt.

293
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 3: Do you have any dirt or sand from anywhere that

294
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:52,560
Speaker 3: means anything to you?

295
00:16:53,000 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 2: I do not, because I don't. Oh you do from where?

296
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 3: I have sand from my high school softball field that

297
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,840
Speaker 3: I played on all four years. Me and a couple

298
00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 3: seniors our last season took dirt from the field. And

299
00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:11,800
Speaker 3: then I also, I don't know if I have it anymore.

300
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:13,879
Speaker 3: I had it. Now my parents have cleaned out my

301
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:16,639
Speaker 3: high school bedroom since I've been gone. It's been a while.

302
00:17:17,160 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 3: But I also had at one point Field of Dreams

303
00:17:20,040 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: dirt when we visited the.

304
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,560
Speaker 2: Field of Dreams in Iowa. Right.

305
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 3: Oh, yeah, I'm a type person.

306
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,160
Speaker 2: That's a good one.

307
00:17:27,240 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 3: Yeah.

308
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: My son, who is an undergrad at the University of Georgia,

309
00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 2: has confetti from the SEC title game last year on

310
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,600
Speaker 2: the field, so he scooped some of that up, and

311
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:43,919
Speaker 2: one of his buddies was actually working the National championship

312
00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,480
Speaker 2: game in California and he's like, you gotta get me confetti.

313
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 2: So he got some confetti from SOFI after the game.

314
00:17:51,119 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 2: So he's got that and they're all in zip block

315
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: bags and stuff. So yeah, he's got some good ones

316
00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 2: after just a year at college, for sure. So I thought,

317
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll see what happens with the dirt suspect,

318
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 2: but I thought that was kind of funny to see

319
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 2: a guy trying to hawk dirt. And I'm not for nothing,

320
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 2: you know, it's a guy. There's no there's no woman

321
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,199
Speaker 2: in her right mind who is going online and selling

322
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 2: dirt the construction site. Women are a lot smarter than that.

323
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 2: That does not happen. There is no woman on this

324
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 2: earth doing It's just not something they would even entertain.

325
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: I can. I feel like I can confidently say that

326
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:35,520
Speaker 2: topic at hand though, for you today deals with this

327
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,520
Speaker 2: Bill's roster. You know, we continue to pour over it

328
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,000
Speaker 2: in many different ways, taking different looks at it, angles,

329
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:46,679
Speaker 2: et cetera. And we all know that everyone has their favorites.

330
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 2: We all know that there are fans out there that

331
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 2: have high hopes for a player that might be either

332
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 2: new to the roster or hasn't stepped into a major

333
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 2: role yet but could this year. So with that in mind,

334
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,240
Speaker 2: our question for you today is who is the one

335
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 2: Bill's player that you believe people are sleeping on. And

336
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 2: this doesn't have to be like a long shot guy

337
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:15,600
Speaker 2: to make the roster. We're talking about any name on

338
00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,880
Speaker 2: this roster you want that you think could really light

339
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 2: it up this year. Who is that one player for

340
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,959
Speaker 2: you that you think people are sleeping on but you

341
00:19:24,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 2: think is going to really kill it this year? Eight

342
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,040
Speaker 2: oh three five point fifty one eight eight eight five

343
00:19:30,200 --> 00:19:32,240
Speaker 2: fifty two five fifty the number to get on board,

344
00:19:32,320 --> 00:19:33,879
Speaker 2: or you can hit us up on the tweet sheet

345
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 2: at one Bill's live. Do you have any Was there

346
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,919
Speaker 2: a player that came to mind immediately for you or

347
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 2: there was.

348
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,879
Speaker 3: One that came to mind immediately as I was driving

349
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 3: in today my name and I could go through this roster,

350
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 3: probably pick ten guys that I think people are sleeping on,

351
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,800
Speaker 3: or I think who are people that could take that

352
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:57,119
Speaker 3: next step or people who are overlooking. My mind went

353
00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 3: to James Cook.

354
00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 2: Yeah.

355
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 3: I've interacted with him a little bit this offseason, and

356
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,199
Speaker 3: it just seems like he does not feel like a

357
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 3: rookie anymore. And it seems like that in the way

358
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:09,320
Speaker 3: that he's talking in his confidence level. You know, you

359
00:20:09,400 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 3: have that first year where you're learning everything, You're learning

360
00:20:12,200 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 3: your schedule, you're learning life outside of college football, how

361
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 3: to be an NFL player, how to adjust to an

362
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,439
Speaker 3: offense or a defense. Offense for James Cook, obviously, that

363
00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:25,479
Speaker 3: is way different than the offense that you ran in college.

364
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 3: And I know Georgia is not really a vanilla offense

365
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,640
Speaker 3: because they have talented people on their roster every single

366
00:20:31,720 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 3: year and they win games against really good teams. But

367
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 3: I feel like going through this offense for a year,

368
00:20:38,320 --> 00:20:41,200
Speaker 3: James Cook is feeling more comfortable. He's feeling more confident,

369
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 3: and I think that will lead him to having a

370
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 3: sort of a breakout season here with what he's able

371
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 3: to do and the ways that Ken Dorsey feels comfortable

372
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: using him in year two as the play caller of

373
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:54,920
Speaker 3: this time, I think there's.

374
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,600
Speaker 2: A good chance he could catch like fifty balls this

375
00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:01,159
Speaker 2: year just on swing passes. I mean, they will probably

376
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 2: split him out a little bit too, but I could

377
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:06,960
Speaker 2: just see him being a popular swing pass target, screen target, etc.

378
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 2: So I think he can catch fifty balls easy. And

379
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 2: this is a guy that led the league last year

380
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:17,000
Speaker 2: in explosive play rate. Now, part of that's due to

381
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,239
Speaker 2: the fact they didn't get a ton of time on

382
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 2: the field, so the sample size is small. So if

383
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:25,560
Speaker 2: he had ten twelve explosive plays and he only had

384
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,680
Speaker 2: eighty touches, well then the ratio is going to be good.

385
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 2: But you would think that more would lead more opportunities,

386
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 2: would lead to more explosive plays. So that's exciting to

387
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 2: think about with him, and I would tend to agree

388
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 2: with you. I think that's a good choice for a

389
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,399
Speaker 2: guy that people are sleeping on. I think another player

390
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: that people are sleeping on is Greg Russ year three

391
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 2: has proven to be a breakout year for a lot

392
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 2: of players during the Bean McDermott era. This is a

393
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:59,639
Speaker 2: guy that finished with eight sacks and god his last

394
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 2: four on a bad high ankle spring because he missed

395
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: three games, so he essentially plays in only thirteen games,

396
00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:14,560
Speaker 2: has eight sacks, and played probably the last eight games

397
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 2: that he was in on a less than one hundred

398
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: percent ankle. So when he began the season before the injury,

399
00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 2: four sacks and four games, then had the injury in

400
00:22:24,160 --> 00:22:26,959
Speaker 2: Week five and kind of hobbled around a little bit

401
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 2: the rest of the season.

402
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,160
Speaker 3: And it was a quiet eight sack Yeah.

403
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:34,160
Speaker 2: I mean, with all the attention that you would anticipate

404
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 2: being paid to Leonard Floyd, who we know should be

405
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 2: healthy for the start of the season, and Von Miller

406
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,479
Speaker 2: whenever he comes back, I just I don't know what

407
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,199
Speaker 2: it is, but I just feel like Rousseau's just going

408
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 2: to kind of put it all together and get to

409
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: double digits in the sack department this year. So I

410
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,719
Speaker 2: don't know if I could say people are sleeping on him.

411
00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: I think there's a healthy amount of the Bills fan

412
00:22:53,600 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: base that really likes him. Yeah, but I don't think

413
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:01,560
Speaker 2: enough people realize just how good he is and hopefully

414
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 2: he can finally show it in terms of production the

415
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 2: kind of player he can be for this football team

416
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:10,159
Speaker 2: after being a first round pick three years ago. But

417
00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:11,679
Speaker 2: you let us know what you think. Who is the

418
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,960
Speaker 2: one Bills player you think people are sleeping on for

419
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,359
Speaker 2: twenty twenty three. Let's go to the phones and we

420
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 2: go to Ron in Pennsylvania to lead us off. What

421
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:20,040
Speaker 2: do you have for us?

422
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 6: Ron, Chris Maddie, thanks for taking my call. Sure, well, yeah,

423
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 6: I believe the addition of Puna Ford is going to

424
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 6: make a big difference on our defense, and with the

425
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:33,000
Speaker 6: coach getting more aggressive, we're going to have more turnovers.

426
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 6: But the one guy I'm watching for this year is

427
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 6: James Cook for a new offensive line. He ought to

428
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:39,160
Speaker 6: be able to tear it up.

429
00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you're in Maddie's boat, and I understand

430
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 2: why I would say I would say, the only question,

431
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 2: Maddie is how much of a committee backfield are we

432
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: looking at you? He's an under two hundred pounds back,

433
00:23:56,040 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 2: so there is a wear and tear factor. I think

434
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 2: you have to be wary of as offensive coaching staff,

435
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:09,679
Speaker 2: because you want that explosive potential to still be a

436
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 2: part of his game after playing seventeen regular season games

437
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,399
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and if he's got two hundred and

438
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 2: fifty carries or two hundred and fifty touches even you know,

439
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,199
Speaker 2: you're wondered, is he gonna lose a little burst, you

440
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,679
Speaker 2: know by the end of the year. Is his body

441
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 2: tired or his legs dead? All that kind of stuff.

442
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 2: So I'm very interested to see how they divvy up

443
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,159
Speaker 2: the workload between him. You know, Damian Harris, is Nahim

444
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,320
Speaker 2: Heinz factor in here, is Latavius Murray on the fifty

445
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:39,320
Speaker 2: three man roster or is he a veteran on the

446
00:24:39,320 --> 00:24:41,679
Speaker 2: practice squad like Duke Johnson last year? How does that

447
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 2: all fit? I think is going to be an interesting And.

448
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 3: It's not like the committee of running backs are just

449
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,800
Speaker 3: like some average joes. Yes, you have a really good

450
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,000
Speaker 3: running back room this year, not saying that it was

451
00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 3: last year either, but you you you didn't really have

452
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 3: that third guy last year that would that would be

453
00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 3: able to kind of rep with the other two running

454
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:04,400
Speaker 3: backs and Devin Singletary Niim Hines, I mean, James Cook,

455
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 3: naim Heinz, Damien Harris. They all can do different things

456
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,840
Speaker 3: for this offense. They all have different strengths with what

457
00:25:11,880 --> 00:25:14,159
Speaker 3: they're able to do. Damien Harris is your ground and

458
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 3: pound type of guy. They needed that guy on this

459
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 3: offense and they're going to use him. So I think

460
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 3: it's a great point. How often do they use each

461
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 3: of those running backs? And do we see a little

462
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,639
Speaker 3: bit more of a balanced offense this season because you

463
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:31,480
Speaker 3: have truly three running backs maybe even four Flatavius Murray

464
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: is on that fifty three man roster that they could

465
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 3: add him into the mix. I mean, he's got size

466
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 3: like you can't find those types of.

467
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: Running backs really, no question about it. Let's go back

468
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,120
Speaker 2: to the phones and to Judy and Buffalo.

469
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 7: What do you got for his Judy, I think it's

470
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 7: going to be shakier.

471
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 2: Okay.

472
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 8: Last year Josh Allen had a lot of confidence in him.

473
00:25:53,720 --> 00:25:55,879
Speaker 8: He threwed him more often than I thought he would.

474
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,600
Speaker 8: I don't know if he's a replacement for Cole Beach.

475
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 8: I don't even I'm not so sure what his position is,

476
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:07,480
Speaker 8: but I think he's going to be a a very

477
00:26:07,480 --> 00:26:09,720
Speaker 8: important piece to this offense.

478
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I like those thoughts. Judy Shakir was

479
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 2: on my short list for sure. I think the only

480
00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:25,439
Speaker 2: thing that's that doesn't have me one hundred confident that

481
00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:27,440
Speaker 2: he's going to kind of break out here in year

482
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 2: two is because of all the other candidates they have

483
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 2: for that position. Trent Sherfield is a guy who we

484
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 2: had in studio, and you know, he even told us

485
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 2: right after he signed. They told him he's going to

486
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,520
Speaker 2: see slot work, which he saw in Miami as well.

487
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,199
Speaker 2: So he's a guy that's going to be part of

488
00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 2: that competition. We know Deontay Hardy is probably going to

489
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:50,359
Speaker 2: see some time inside, and then, as you mentioned at

490
00:26:50,359 --> 00:26:52,399
Speaker 2: the top of the show, Kin Kate is going to

491
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,440
Speaker 2: be a guy that's going to be lining up detached,

492
00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:58,199
Speaker 2: presumably in the slot a lot. So again we go

493
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,800
Speaker 2: back to you usage snap count. Is he getting forty

494
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: snaps every week or is it twelve snaps against this

495
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: opponent and then fifty the next week against the next opponent.

496
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 2: These are all questions we can't answer right now, but

497
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 2: I think his snapcount is going to go a long

498
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: way in determining just what he's gonna.

499
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:20,840
Speaker 3: Provide for this I mean, you talked about James Cook

500
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 3: and wanting to make sure he's ready to go for

501
00:27:22,760 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: the end of that season. The wear and tear that

502
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 3: happens on running back, and even the workload that he

503
00:27:27,640 --> 00:27:30,840
Speaker 3: had last year, While it wasn't an incredible amount, it

504
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 3: was some. And you look at Khalil Shakir only ten

505
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,600
Speaker 3: catches last year for one hundred and sixty one yards.

506
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 3: He started in two games, played in fourteen total, So

507
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 3: this is a guy who should be coming into this

508
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:47,440
Speaker 3: season with the freshest of legs. And you also think

509
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 3: about that to a type of advantage as well. Teams

510
00:27:51,280 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 3: don't have a lot of tape on him, so he

511
00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 3: can be used as a weapon in that regard. But

512
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 3: you wonder about the wide receiver room and the number

513
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 3: that they're going to keep on the final fifty three

514
00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: and the competition that we're going to see in training camp,

515
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 3: and if by the end of training camp we're truly

516
00:28:07,359 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 3: able to tell, Okay, this guy's gonna be used for this,

517
00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:12,200
Speaker 3: this guy's gonna be used for this. How is Khalil

518
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:15,359
Speaker 3: secure gonna kinda kind of fall into that as well?

519
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: Because he caught some balls in ot Is. Again, I

520
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 3: know there's no pads on, but he had some nice

521
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,439
Speaker 3: catches where it was like, this guy could be an

522
00:28:23,480 --> 00:28:24,680
Speaker 3: advantage in the offense.

523
00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: I think there And I talked about this with former

524
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: Bills receivers coach Chad Hall when we had him on

525
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,600
Speaker 2: the show at training camp last summer. I was like,

526
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:36,360
Speaker 2: is it me or does Khalil seem to have this

527
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 2: route savvy to his game that kind of makes him

528
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 2: feel wise beyond his years. And I'm talking to him,

529
00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:45,920
Speaker 2: you know about a fresh behind what behind the ear

530
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,480
Speaker 2: is rookie and our MSG viewers are looking at the

531
00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: exact play that I'm sure Judy was thinking of. This

532
00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 2: is in the playoff game, the wildcard game. It's third

533
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 2: and ten and they're at like their own nineteen yard line.

534
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: Josh chooses here over the middle in tight coverage to

535
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,320
Speaker 2: make a play for them, you know, or the game

536
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 2: is on the ropes and he makes a huge play

537
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,760
Speaker 2: in that game. And yeah, I would say that down

538
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 2: at the end of the season, what they saw from

539
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:22,600
Speaker 2: James Cook, Kyrie Elam, and Khalil Shakir, I think bodes

540
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 2: very well for last year's draft class as far as

541
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 2: making a difference this year. And Shakira is definitely in

542
00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:32,560
Speaker 2: that group. We've got to take a break here though,

543
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,600
Speaker 2: because we're up against it. But Chance in Alabama, Ricky

544
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 2: and Buffalo stay where we are. We'll get to you

545
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: when we return more of your phone calls. As we're

546
00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: asking you who is the one Bill's player that you

547
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 2: believe people are sleeping on. It's One Bill's Live presented

548
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:58,360
Speaker 2: by Kalida Health. This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right

549
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:01,080

550
00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 2: lab with you and we're discussing who you believe is

551
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: the One Bills player you think people are sleeping on

552
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty three season. Eight oh three five

553
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: fifty the number to get on board one eight eight

554
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five point fifty. Got an open

555
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,840
Speaker 2: line for you there. But as we wait for you

556
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 2: to make your phone call, we go to Chance in Alabama.

557
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 9: Next.

558
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Chance?

559
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 7: It's okay, God.

560
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:30,959
Speaker 2: Here, Chance, are you with us to be hopeless? Right?

561
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm gon hang on their Chance he's dealing with stuff

562
00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 2: on the home front, so we'll let him square that away,

563
00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: and uh, we'll go to Ricky in Buffalo next. What

564
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 2: do you got for us? Ricky?

565
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:45,360
Speaker 5: Oh? How you doing sir good. Yes, I like James

566
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:47,800
Speaker 5: Cook myself. I always looked at him in Georgia when

567
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 5: I were watching him this for four years in college

568
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 5: and national team champions. You got a national team champion,

569
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 5: but running the back of our team. Finally, I mean

570
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 5: maybe a long time he has somebody national have a

571
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:02,000
Speaker 5: good bilationship with our team that he's a good runner

572
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 5: back and does Dorsey have to get him a good

573
00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 5: ukes And I like Russo is one of the one

574
00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 5: of the think one of the best defense and young

575
00:31:09,320 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 5: bloods in the league right now. And they got to

576
00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 5: Houston Wheels year good. This is outside a little bit.

577
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 5: He can run and rush the ball. I'll feel those

578
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 5: good products right now.

579
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like those picks, Ricky, because you're you're basically

580
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:25,520
Speaker 2: agreeing with Maddie and me. She picked James Cook, I

581
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: picked Greg Russo. Uh, And yeah, I think we have

582
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 2: high hopes for both of those guys. I'm trying to

583
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:39,320
Speaker 2: I'm trying to wrap my head around, you know, trying

584
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,040
Speaker 2: to envision how games are gonna unfold and how that

585
00:31:43,080 --> 00:31:46,600
Speaker 2: could impact, you know, how much, because we talked about

586
00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 2: Cook's playing time and how much that's going to impact

587
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: what he does the difference he can put on a game.

588
00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,600
Speaker 2: You could probably say the same thing for Rousseau with

589
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 2: how much they rotate the defensive lineman in and out.

590
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,480
Speaker 3: Von Miller's health and how soon he's available, because if

591
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:08,040
Speaker 3: he's available quickly, then how does the defensive line and

592
00:32:08,040 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 3: truly the edge rushers look with von Miller and Leonard

593
00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:14,680
Speaker 3: Floyd and Greg Russo and other guys who can rotate through.

594
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: Is Greg gonna play more time? Are we going to

595
00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 3: see him and Leonard kind of split depending on what

596
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,360
Speaker 3: they're seeing with the opposing offense that they're getting from

597
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,200
Speaker 3: down to down, and thinking of the defensive line as

598
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 3: a whole. I just think they've gotten a little bit

599
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 3: more on the interior this season two to help these

600
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,959
Speaker 3: guys on the end out. I mean Ed Oliver Is

601
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 3: I feel like the type of guy to where he

602
00:32:38,440 --> 00:32:40,960
Speaker 3: just signed this contract extension. I believe we're going to

603
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,080
Speaker 3: see a lot more from him this year. I believe

604
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 3: that type of motivation, some of the incentives and things

605
00:32:46,400 --> 00:32:49,480
Speaker 3: that he could earn will help him this season. A

606
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 3: day Kwon Jones, we saw what he did last year.

607
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 3: A healthy Jordan Phillips as he's getting into the fold

608
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:57,600
Speaker 3: and I think Poona Ford is going to be great

609
00:32:57,680 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: for this defensive line with the type of guys that

610
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:04,560
Speaker 3: they can rotate through who can be strong people on

611
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 3: the inside to free up Vaughn and Leonard and Greg

612
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 3: to do what they need to do in Shaq Lawson

613
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 3: and aj Apanessa throw all those guys in there. I'm

614
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 3: interested to see how Boogie and AJ fit into all

615
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 3: of this because we have been missing the consistency from

616
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 3: them and they need to prove that in training camp,

617
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:29,520
Speaker 3: and then they need to prove that in the season. Yes,

618
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 3: they've had flashes where where they have been impact players

619
00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 3: in games and during plays, but it hasn't been consistent.

620
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 3: It's been a little less consistent at Oliver. A lot

621
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 3: of people have said in even Brandon Bean, the consistency

622
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 3: needs to be there for at Oliver. The consistency needs

623
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 3: to be there even more for Boogie and AJ.

624
00:33:50,520 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 2: And if they didn't believe there should be a sense

625
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 2: of urgency to their game come training camp. The Leonard

626
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 2: Floyd signing in June is basically the warning shot like

627
00:34:00,920 --> 00:34:04,480
Speaker 2: it hasn't been good enough behind Vaughn and Greg, so

628
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 2: get it together, because this guy has done it before,

629
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 2: and he's going to be on the field unless you

630
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 2: show us otherwise.

631
00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 3: So almost thirty sacks in the last three seasons.

632
00:34:13,719 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Yes, so that guy is going to be on the field.

633
00:34:16,560 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 2: So you got to measure up or you're not going

634
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 2: to be getting a lot of playing time. You may

635
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 2: not even be on the roster. Yeah, that's how deep

636
00:34:22,800 --> 00:34:25,919
Speaker 2: that defensive line has got. Back to the phones, and

637
00:34:26,120 --> 00:34:28,400
Speaker 2: we'll try a second time chance in Alabama.

638
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 7: You ready, Hey, thanks for taking the call. Sure, I

639
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,080
Speaker 7: you know, I don't know if it's called sleeping on

640
00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 7: or you know who. What I'm worried about is will

641
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:40,960
Speaker 7: we get our number one corner position back Tredavius White.

642
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,319
Speaker 7: He had you know, his acl tair. He went through

643
00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:45,800
Speaker 7: some stuff with the DeMar Hamblin.

644
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 10: You know.

645
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 7: So I think in this you know NFL, in today's

646
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,759
Speaker 7: day and age, when you're facing Tyreek Hill, when you're

647
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 7: facing Jalen Waddle, when you're facing all the great receivers

648
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 7: in this league, you almost have to have a shutdown corner.

649
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 7: You almost needed Torel Reebis And I don't know if

650
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 7: we're going to find that in Tradavious. Can he get

651
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:08,160
Speaker 7: his mental game back? Because I think you know, he

652
00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:11,160
Speaker 7: had the skills before the injury, and he's not chopping

653
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:13,360
Speaker 7: at the bit trying to get back like Von Miller is.

654
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 7: Von Miller is a dog. I mean he I mean

655
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,520
Speaker 7: that dude just wants to go out there and hurt

656
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 7: a quarterback. I mean, he wants to go out there

657
00:35:19,400 --> 00:35:22,480
Speaker 7: and get sacks. Do we have that in Tredavious. I mean,

658
00:35:22,480 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 7: I know not all players are created equal, but I

659
00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:28,719
Speaker 7: just want to know. I mean, do we have a

660
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,080
Speaker 7: number one corner? Will he go back to form?

661
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? I'm going to answer that in the affirmative chance

662
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,640
Speaker 2: because and all you have to do if you need

663
00:35:38,680 --> 00:35:40,879
Speaker 2: more on this is just go to the top ten

664
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 2: things we learned in the offseason on Buffalo bills dot Com.

665
00:35:43,880 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 2: The second thing I listed there was Trudeavius White is

666
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 2: back to his all pro self. This is a guy

667
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:54,399
Speaker 2: that doesn't speak it like von Miller does. He goes

668
00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: out and does it. And ask anybody that's been out

669
00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 2: there at the spring practices, Ask any coach, Ask Brandon

670
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:07,520
Speaker 2: Bean who's commented on it. This guy looks like old Tredavius.

671
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:11,280
Speaker 2: And you're right. Last year, coming back from the first

672
00:36:11,560 --> 00:36:15,160
Speaker 2: major injury of his career, there was a mental hurdle

673
00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: for him, and it was a big one, and I

674
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: think there were times where he struggled with it, and

675
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,440
Speaker 2: I think he had trouble having the self confidence that

676
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:28,359
Speaker 2: has always been a part of his game. And at

677
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: that position, if you are not resolutely confident that you

678
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,960
Speaker 2: are everything you have trained to be, it's hard to

679
00:36:36,040 --> 00:36:39,719
Speaker 2: play at a consistent level there. And I think there's

680
00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 2: just a look in his eye now, Maddie, like just

681
00:36:42,520 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: looking at him in the spring practices where he looks

682
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:49,200
Speaker 2: like he's got it all put back together. I think

683
00:36:49,200 --> 00:36:51,359
Speaker 2: he will be a shutdown corner for them this year.

684
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:56,320
Speaker 3: And we've heard person after person after coach after coach

685
00:36:56,360 --> 00:37:00,440
Speaker 3: after player after player comment on Trey's off season and

686
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:03,400
Speaker 3: the confidence that he now has in the work ethic

687
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 3: that he's had this offseason and he's been a player

688
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 3: even before the injury that people have said, I've never

689
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 3: met somebody that works harder than Tredevious White, and these people,

690
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,560
Speaker 3: these players, these coaches this offseason have said that he's

691
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,240
Speaker 3: taken that to a different level, which is insane because

692
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,680
Speaker 3: from the beginning he's always been the hardest worker, but

693
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,719
Speaker 3: to even do more than that this offseason, I think

694
00:37:27,760 --> 00:37:30,160
Speaker 3: says a lot about where he's going to be once

695
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:32,279
Speaker 3: it comes time to put the pads back on. And

696
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:34,920
Speaker 3: as we're talking about OTAs and we're talking about some

697
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 3: of these offensive players looking good in OTAs, offense always

698
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:44,879
Speaker 3: looks better in OTAs because you're not tackling, you don't

699
00:37:44,920 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 3: have pads on. The defense can't really show up as

700
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,680
Speaker 3: much in OTAs because there's a level to what they

701
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 3: can play up to. They can't tackle, they can't really touch,

702
00:37:55,640 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 3: they can't really hit, or else they're going to get

703
00:37:58,080 --> 00:38:01,520
Speaker 3: in trouble. In practice, we saw some guys go a

704
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,840
Speaker 3: little bit too hard on play after play, and the

705
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,880
Speaker 3: offense was right there clapping back, saying, no, you do

706
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:09,480
Speaker 3: not touch this player. We're in OTAs. We don't have

707
00:38:09,560 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 3: pads on, we just have shirts and hats on. So

708
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 3: we may not be talking about defensive players here leading

709
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 3: up until training camp like we have with offensive players,

710
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:24,040
Speaker 3: just because offensive players tend to look better in ota.

711
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 2: Yes, and I'm not faulting you chance for not knowing

712
00:38:27,280 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 2: Tredevious White's work ethic. You hear Von talk and you

713
00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:34,520
Speaker 2: hear him comment on you know the positive mindset that

714
00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 2: he has. Tredavius White doesn't talk about it. He just

715
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,200
Speaker 2: goes and doesn't. I'll just give you a small example.

716
00:38:39,560 --> 00:38:42,239
Speaker 2: So at the end of mandatory mini camp, coach McDermott

717
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,279
Speaker 2: cancels the last day of practice, which was Thursday, as

718
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: most coaches in the league do, they give him the

719
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,680
Speaker 2: last day off. Enjoy your summer, we'll see a training camp.

720
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 2: So it's the Thursday, the canceled day of mandatory mini camp.

721
00:38:56,760 --> 00:39:00,400
Speaker 2: Everybody is gone except for the rookies who had stay

722
00:39:00,680 --> 00:39:03,759
Speaker 2: an extra day, get a conditioning workout in an extra

723
00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 2: classroom session, and then they left. I go by the

724
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:13,080
Speaker 2: training room and Tredevius White is in there barefoot doing

725
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 2: one foot heel raises with like two hundred and forty

726
00:39:17,200 --> 00:39:21,759
Speaker 2: pounds on the machine and he is grinding through it.

727
00:39:22,320 --> 00:39:25,200
Speaker 2: You know what. He was there on Friday also, So

728
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,160
Speaker 2: now you're two days removed from everybody being able to

729
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:31,560
Speaker 2: get out of dodge, he's still here working out. It's

730
00:39:31,600 --> 00:39:35,080
Speaker 2: just a small example of what Tradevius brings to the

731
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,440
Speaker 2: table in terms of a work ethic. Let's go back

732
00:39:38,440 --> 00:39:40,400
Speaker 2: to the phones and we go to Rick in Albany.

733
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 2: What do you got for us? Rick?

734
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,480
Speaker 11: Hey, thank you for taking my call.

735
00:39:44,640 --> 00:39:44,839
Speaker 2: Sure.

736
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,440
Speaker 11: Yeah, I've been hearing about the Cook conversation with the

737
00:39:48,520 --> 00:39:50,839
Speaker 11: running back, and you know, I hope the running game

738
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:53,440
Speaker 11: does pick up. But one of the ice feel that

739
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:55,759
Speaker 11: I always been one of the trail things is when

740
00:39:56,239 --> 00:39:58,759
Speaker 11: the uh we get in the short yard situations. And

741
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:01,600
Speaker 11: I really think that Murray's going to really help us

742
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 11: out on being that boulder, you know, getting them extra yards,

743
00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 11: for getting you know the three, the three or four

744
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 11: yards necessary we need to get the first down or

745
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,280
Speaker 11: age malar more. I see him being the breakout player,

746
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,480
Speaker 11: is being getting us some touchdowns on there. And my

747
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 11: other part, my other player would be Elam on the

748
00:40:20,840 --> 00:40:24,840
Speaker 11: other side of the the ball. Everybody focuses on White,

749
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 11: that's great, but Eli is going to be that that ninjak,

750
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 11: that silent killer on the other side. When they try

751
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:32,040
Speaker 11: to they can't throw it a White and they throw

752
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:33,320
Speaker 11: on the other side of the field.

753
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:33,920
Speaker 12: Thank you.

754
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 11: I want to listen to what you got to say.

755
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:36,840
Speaker 2: All right, thanks for the call, Rick, you want to

756
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:37,640
Speaker 2: take that one many.

757
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:41,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, We're working on so throughout the off season and

758
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 3: in the next couple of weeks as we lead into

759
00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,360
Speaker 3: training camp. But We'll be releasing articles that are defensive

760
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:50,359
Speaker 3: players to watch, offensive players to watch, training camp sleepers,

761
00:40:50,360 --> 00:40:53,680
Speaker 3: people to look forward to once training camp begins. I'm

762
00:40:53,719 --> 00:40:56,960
Speaker 3: taking our defensive players to watch article and kyri Elam

763
00:40:57,080 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 3: is at the top of the list. This is a

764
00:40:59,440 --> 00:41:01,799
Speaker 3: kid who's who's had, just like James Cook, a year

765
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 3: under his belt in the system, with the coaches, with

766
00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,080
Speaker 3: this defense, and it's time to take that next step forward.

767
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:13,440
Speaker 3: Dane Jackson and kyer Elam I think will still battle

768
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:15,239
Speaker 3: it out this year in training camp. I do not

769
00:41:15,320 --> 00:41:18,440
Speaker 3: think that kyer Elam has earned that starting spot. And

770
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,000
Speaker 3: I'm not saying that because kyer Elam hasn't proved it.

771
00:41:21,200 --> 00:41:23,560
Speaker 3: I'm just saying it because that is what Sean McDermott

772
00:41:23,600 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 3: tends to do with players who are not like eight,

773
00:41:27,160 --> 00:41:29,400
Speaker 3: nine to ten year veterans in the league. You have

774
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:33,320
Speaker 3: to earn that spot every single season. And we saw

775
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 3: him toward the end of the year and a lot

776
00:41:35,560 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: of games really show who he was, show the physical

777
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,200
Speaker 3: type of corner that he was. I go back to

778
00:41:42,239 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 3: the Dolphins game. I was so impressed with how he

779
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:49,279
Speaker 3: played in that game. With the playoff game toward the

780
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,080
Speaker 3: end of the season with how he was able to

781
00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:57,080
Speaker 3: cover Tyreek Hill. It is nearly impossible to do that

782
00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:01,040
Speaker 3: down in down out against a receivers that is as

783
00:42:01,160 --> 00:42:04,319
Speaker 3: quick as Tyreek Hill. And there was not one time,

784
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 3: not two times, there were multiple times where kye Elam

785
00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 3: was running in stride with Tyreek Hill and was being

786
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:15,080
Speaker 3: a difference maker and taking the ball away from the

787
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 3: Dolphin's offense by knocking it away. By the way he

788
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 3: was covering tyreek Hill, it was very impressive to see.

789
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,120
Speaker 3: I think it was the type of corner that that

790
00:42:24,239 --> 00:42:27,680
Speaker 3: Brandon Bean and the coaching staff was hoping would come

791
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 3: out at some point in the season, and that physicality

792
00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 3: was awesome to see.

793
00:42:33,480 --> 00:42:37,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, his interception in that wild card

794
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:40,719
Speaker 2: game pretty much turned the game around, Yeah, because the

795
00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:43,160
Speaker 2: Bills were behind at that point in time in the

796
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:45,719
Speaker 2: third quarter, he makes the pick inside the Dolphins thirty

797
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:49,040
Speaker 2: yard line, the Bills going to score and ultimately are

798
00:42:49,080 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 2: able to pull that game out. And I thought we

799
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,759
Speaker 2: saw a change in his play towards the end of

800
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:57,480
Speaker 2: the season when he did get a little more time

801
00:42:57,520 --> 00:43:01,800
Speaker 2: on the field, doing part to Christian Benford's injury. Because Benford,

802
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 2: as we remember, was ahead of him on the depth

803
00:43:04,280 --> 00:43:07,680
Speaker 2: chart and got more time than him most of the season,

804
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 2: including week one when he started over Elam And I

805
00:43:11,400 --> 00:43:14,799
Speaker 2: think the reason people are still sleeping on him is

806
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: because he is going to be in a position battle.

807
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: It's not just Elim and Jackson. I mean Benford's going

808
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:23,040
Speaker 2: to be part of that conversation also, And so who's

809
00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:25,720
Speaker 2: gonna end up being the second cornerback on this roster.

810
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 2: We're gonna have to figure it out in training camp.

811
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,680
Speaker 2: And that's probably why people are sleeping on him because

812
00:43:29,680 --> 00:43:31,800
Speaker 2: we don't even know if he's starting, which is crazy

813
00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,080
Speaker 2: to think about, you know, a first round draft choice,

814
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:36,160
Speaker 2: but that is very much the case. So it's gonna

815
00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:37,840
Speaker 2: have to be sorted out when we get out to

816
00:43:37,840 --> 00:43:40,480
Speaker 2: Saint John Fisher in late July. In early August, break

817
00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:43,640
Speaker 2: time here, but Ted and Lancaster John and Auburn hangtight.

818
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:45,279
Speaker 2: We get to you when we return here on One

819
00:43:45,280 --> 00:43:47,919
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Collide Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

820
00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:03,680
Speaker 2: Who is the One Bill's player you think people are

821
00:44:03,719 --> 00:44:05,600
Speaker 2: sleeping on you give us your pick at eight O

822
00:44:05,680 --> 00:44:08,479
Speaker 2: three oh five fifty one eight eight five fifty two

823
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:11,040
Speaker 2: five to fifty the number to get on board. We

824
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 2: begin this segment with Ted in Lancaster. What do you

825
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 2: got for us? Ted?

826
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:22,120
Speaker 4: Good morning, Chris and Maddy Good afternoon, Bread Afternoon's My

827
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 4: pick is career. Elam a little disappointment last year when

828
00:44:27,600 --> 00:44:31,839
Speaker 4: Benford started the season as the starting cornerback, but I

829
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,359
Speaker 4: think this year, with one of your one year of experience,

830
00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,520
Speaker 4: I think he'll step up and earned that number one job.

831
00:44:38,920 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 4: And the other thing I wanted to mention is I

832
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:43,759
Speaker 4: logged on right at one o'clock to try to get

833
00:44:43,840 --> 00:44:47,560
Speaker 4: training camp tickets. Tried for a half an hour with

834
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 4: no luck. They all sold out, so we all went

835
00:44:50,800 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 4: to season ticket holders.

836
00:44:53,920 --> 00:44:57,200
Speaker 2: Wow, that's crazy. Yeah, that's nuts.

837
00:44:58,480 --> 00:44:58,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

838
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 4: I kept on trying to get back back into the

839
00:45:00,640 --> 00:45:02,840
Speaker 4: queue and I would and it shows the amount of

840
00:45:02,840 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 4: people ahead of me, And initially it showed like eight

841
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 4: hundred and sixty aat of me. So I thought for

842
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:11,280
Speaker 4: sure I'd get some tickets, but no luck. I wanted

843
00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,000
Speaker 4: to get a couple for myself and my grandson.

844
00:45:14,280 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'm not and I'm not going to

845
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 2: pretended to know whether or not it's included with all

846
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:22,919
Speaker 2: those others, but I know the return of the Blue

847
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,520
Speaker 2: and Red practice sometimes is a separate entity unto itself.

848
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:28,200
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend to know if it is

849
00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,240
Speaker 2: or not, but I know there's usually more tickets available

850
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,800
Speaker 2: for that event because there's obviously more seating in the

851
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,120
Speaker 2: stadium than there is out a training camp. So if

852
00:45:37,160 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: you want to contact the ticket office, it might be

853
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 2: worth asking if the return of the Blue and Red

854
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 2: is a separate ticket offering, because I do know they

855
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 2: seat significantly more people for that, And if you're in Lancaster,

856
00:45:49,960 --> 00:45:52,000
Speaker 2: you don't even have to go all the way out

857
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 2: to training camp in Rochester. You just shoot down to

858
00:45:54,320 --> 00:45:56,800
Speaker 2: Orchard Park. So I'm hoping that's a second option for you,

859
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:59,799
Speaker 2: But maybe check with the ticket office. They might they'll

860
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:01,440
Speaker 2: have a better answer for you than I will, because

861
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:03,160
Speaker 2: I'm not going to pretend to know all the ins

862
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,520
Speaker 2: and outs about that. But it's a hot ticket because

863
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:06,919
Speaker 2: it's free.

864
00:46:07,600 --> 00:46:10,479
Speaker 3: They went so fast last year too. I remember hearing

865
00:46:10,880 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 3: from people and fans that's, you know, similar situation logged on.

866
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,719
Speaker 3: We're able to get through to maybe where you're trying

867
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:20,360
Speaker 3: to choose the ticket or choose a seat. However it works,

868
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:23,319
Speaker 3: and they weren't able to complete it because they had

869
00:46:23,400 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 3: all gone so fast. And I'm on Twitter right now

870
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,399
Speaker 3: and I see people tweeting that people are now trying

871
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:32,759
Speaker 3: to sell them, which is so sad. Like, if you're

872
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 3: a fan, take the ticket for yourself or give them

873
00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:37,960
Speaker 3: to friends for free. Why are you trying to profit

874
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:41,239
Speaker 3: off of something that's offered to you as free. That's

875
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:42,239
Speaker 3: so upsetting.

876
00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:45,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little disappointing for sure. To his point about

877
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,080
Speaker 2: Kyrie Elam, though, I will say this because looking because

878
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 2: I think it is going to be somewhat of a

879
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:54,799
Speaker 2: three person competition, maybe it gets whittled down to two

880
00:46:54,960 --> 00:46:57,840
Speaker 2: very early in training camp because we're all assuming Trudavius

881
00:46:57,960 --> 00:46:59,560
Speaker 2: is on one side, and then who's going to be

882
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: cbe too. And while I have all the respect in

883
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: the world for Dane Jackson and Christian Benford in their

884
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,239
Speaker 2: respective skill sets, I think it's safe to say that

885
00:47:10,120 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: Kyrie Elam is the most physically gifted of the three players.

886
00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 2: That's not to say that the other two can't play

887
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,600
Speaker 2: in this league. They absolutely can't, but I think Elam

888
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:21,400
Speaker 2: has some special elite traits, which is one of the

889
00:47:21,480 --> 00:47:23,880
Speaker 2: main reasons he was a first round draft choice. So

890
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:28,080
Speaker 2: he's got to take that and then apply the mental

891
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:30,880
Speaker 2: side of the game to playing the position, and I

892
00:47:30,920 --> 00:47:33,719
Speaker 2: think if he puts that together, he will end up

893
00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 2: winning that job. That's an if. It's not a guarantee,

894
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 2: as we all know, but if he comes through and

895
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:43,160
Speaker 2: is the guy that wins the starting job over there,

896
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 2: he got two first round picks.

897
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:48,919
Speaker 3: As you're two outside, do you do you think he'll

898
00:47:49,080 --> 00:47:51,560
Speaker 3: if he wins the job. Do you think he will

899
00:47:51,600 --> 00:47:54,800
Speaker 3: win the job because he can pair those physical gifts,

900
00:47:54,880 --> 00:47:59,239
Speaker 3: that physicalness that he has in that position with his

901
00:47:59,480 --> 00:48:02,440
Speaker 3: knowledge of the defense. Is there anything that I'm missing

902
00:48:02,520 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 3: there that is going to place? He's got to make plays,

903
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:06,719
Speaker 3: maybe not even head and shoulders above the other two,

904
00:48:06,840 --> 00:48:10,040
Speaker 3: but be the surefire you won this job.

905
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:12,000
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think he's got to make some plays like

906
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:15,560
Speaker 2: big play, splash plays, interceptions, you know, pass breakups in

907
00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:20,000
Speaker 2: the end zone, good run, support player, tackle at the

908
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,839
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage, open field tackling, those kinds of things,

909
00:48:23,080 --> 00:48:25,240
Speaker 2: because that's what lifts you over the other guys. Everybody's

910
00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,120
Speaker 2: capable of playing there because Dane Jackson, Christian Benford and

911
00:48:28,239 --> 00:48:30,719
Speaker 2: Kyrie have all played out there. They've all started out there.

912
00:48:31,400 --> 00:48:35,839
Speaker 2: So how do you separate yourself consistency and then making

913
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 2: big plays. That's how you separate yourself.

914
00:48:37,760 --> 00:48:39,839
Speaker 3: Good problem to have, because at the end of the day,

915
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:43,040
Speaker 3: you know you have backups if you need to, if

916
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,759
Speaker 3: you need to go into you know, if knock on wood,

917
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 3: that tray is going to be a healthy all season.

918
00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,040
Speaker 3: But whoever doesn't win the job, you have two other

919
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:55,360
Speaker 3: cornerbacks who who can act as starters whenever they need to.

920
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,879
Speaker 2: Got to take a break here, so apologies to John

921

Speaker 2: two because it's wide open for phone calls. So hang tight, John,

923
00:49:03,560 --> 00:49:05,560
Speaker 2: We will get to you as well as John and

942
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:31,520
Speaker 2: in Auburn, who's been waiting patiently. What do you got

943
00:50:31,560 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 2: for us? John?

944
00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:35,560
Speaker 10: Hey, Chris, Hey, Maddie, how are you guys today?

945
00:50:35,600 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 2: Good?

946
00:50:36,840 --> 00:50:40,879
Speaker 10: Good? Uh? I got one for each side of the ball.

947
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:47,360
Speaker 10: Actually I got Khalil Shakir ahead of party in Sherfield.

948
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 10: I think that's uh, that's probably established. We haven't made

949
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,960
Speaker 10: anything significant as far as a move to bring in

950
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 10: besides Hardy and Surefield right for secure and uh. My

951
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:06,279
Speaker 10: guy on the defensive side is Taylor Rapp. I do

952
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,520
Speaker 10: believe he signed his free agent contract in Buffalo before Poyer.

953
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 10: I can see him on the field and obvious passing

954
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 10: situations as that guy in the box standing next to

955
00:51:22,080 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 10: Milano covering a running back potentially a tight end and

956
00:51:27,400 --> 00:51:31,320
Speaker 10: uh softening some of the blow of the loss of Edmunds.

957
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 10: One last thing, I'm hoping Cynthia Freeland is at camp

958
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:41,000
Speaker 10: again this year, Maddie, because you two your two rock

959
00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 10: Thanks guys, all right, thanks John.

960
00:51:45,160 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would anticipate chili backs. She's usually doing sidelines

961
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:48,919
Speaker 2: for preseason games.

962
00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,560
Speaker 3: She'll be doing sidelines, yeah again this year. She's always

963
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:55,320
Speaker 3: great to have around. H I love Cynthia. She is

964
00:51:55,600 --> 00:51:59,680
Speaker 3: a nerd about football and you know that makes happen,

965
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:01,080
Speaker 3: That makes me happy.

966
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 2: Like that's the term she uses, so I don't feel

967
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 2: bad using it when we have her on the Show's amazing.

968
00:52:06,719 --> 00:52:09,360
Speaker 2: But yeah, those are good picks. I think Shakira is

969
00:52:09,400 --> 00:52:11,600
Speaker 2: going to be in for maybe a little bit siffer

970
00:52:11,680 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 2: competition than you think, John. And the only reason I

971
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:17,120
Speaker 2: say that is because if you look at what Trent

972
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:21,319
Speaker 2: Sherfield did last year in Miami, this was a guy

973
00:52:21,480 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 2: who got signed away from San Francisco. Obviously, Mike McDaniel

974
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:29,120
Speaker 2: had a firm working knowledge of his abilities, having been

975
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:32,280
Speaker 2: in San Francisco with him, he brings him down to Miami.

976
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:37,200
Speaker 2: Cedric Wilson was their free agent signee that they signed

977
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,160
Speaker 2: at the receiver position. They signed him away from Dallas.

978
00:52:40,600 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 2: He was widely anticipated to be their slot receiver, and

979
00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:48,040
Speaker 2: all Trent Sherfield did was beat him and everybody else

980
00:52:48,120 --> 00:52:50,680
Speaker 2: out for the starting slot role. He was the number

981
00:52:50,760 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 2: three receiver on a team that had Jayalen Wattle and

982
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:56,759
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill is the top two guys. And by all accounts,

983
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 2: and I know you saw more of practice than I

984
00:52:58,920 --> 00:53:00,800
Speaker 2: did because we were in here doing the show sometimes

985
00:53:00,840 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: for some of the practices. By most accounts, Sherfield had

986
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:09,080
Speaker 2: a bang up spring and quickly acclimated to this offense.

987
00:53:09,160 --> 00:53:12,160
Speaker 2: So I think Sherfield's gonna be some stiff competition for Shakir.

988
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:14,719
Speaker 3: I think one thing about Sherfield too, that you can

989
00:53:14,880 --> 00:53:18,040
Speaker 3: just tell in the way that he acts and presents

990
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:21,200
Speaker 3: himself and goes through a practice and is talking to

991
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 3: Josh Allen throughout plays and during breaks. He is a

992
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:31,120
Speaker 3: veteran in how he portrays himself on the practice field.

993
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,919
Speaker 3: You can tell he's done this not for too much time.

994
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,640
Speaker 3: I mean, his first year in the NFL is twenty eighteen,

995
00:53:36,800 --> 00:53:39,240
Speaker 3: but you can tell that he's been through this before.

996
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:44,440
Speaker 3: He's done that before. And he looks like somebody who

997
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,239
Speaker 3: has who has been in a starting role and can

998
00:53:47,400 --> 00:53:50,320
Speaker 3: offer that to this offense if that's the job that

999
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:53,160
Speaker 3: he earns and wins. And he had over four hundred

1000
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 3: receiving yards last season, And when he got signed by

1001
00:53:57,600 --> 00:54:02,200
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills, there were multiple starters in Miami that

1002
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:06,920
Speaker 3: were posting about Trent Sherfield being gone and surprised that

1003
00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: he was gone and pissed off that he was gone.

1004
00:54:09,680 --> 00:54:11,919
Speaker 3: I think that also says a lot about the type

1005
00:54:11,960 --> 00:54:14,440
Speaker 3: of athlete and the type of person that he is

1006
00:54:14,600 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 3: and the type of guy that the Bills are getting

1007
00:54:16,719 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 3: this season.

1008
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:19,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean when we had him in studio shortly

1009
00:54:19,680 --> 00:54:23,480
Speaker 2: after he signed in the spring, very quickly you could

1010
00:54:23,560 --> 00:54:25,960
Speaker 2: recognize this is a guy that is not afraid of

1011
00:54:26,040 --> 00:54:28,560
Speaker 2: hard work, because that's what he's had to do to

1012
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 2: stay in this league. You know, He's one of those

1013
00:54:31,760 --> 00:54:35,839
Speaker 2: guys that was not highly touted, not highly drafted, had

1014
00:54:35,880 --> 00:54:37,759
Speaker 2: to work for everything he's gotten in this league. And

1015
00:54:37,800 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 2: I think now that he feels he's finally reached a

1016
00:54:40,160 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 2: point where he's at critical mass, he wants to make

1017
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:44,880
Speaker 2: the most of it. And yet despite all of that

1018
00:54:45,560 --> 00:54:47,960
Speaker 2: and all the improvements he's made to his game. This

1019
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,560
Speaker 2: is his third team in three years. It's never come

1020
00:54:50,640 --> 00:54:53,200
Speaker 2: easy for him, So when things are hard or he's

1021
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:56,360
Speaker 2: in the throes of a competition, it's like an everyday

1022
00:54:56,400 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 2: occurrence for him. So he doesn't shy away from a competition.

1023
00:55:00,920 --> 00:55:03,239
Speaker 2: If anything, he flourishes in one. So it's gonna be

1024
00:55:03,280 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 2: a very interesting competition at that spot also between him,

1025
00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 2: Shakir and maybe to a certain extent, Hardy, depending on

1026
00:55:12,400 --> 00:55:15,200
Speaker 2: how the reps shake out in training camp. As we're

1027
00:55:15,200 --> 00:55:17,520
Speaker 2: going through this roster and people are picking sleepers, I'm

1028
00:55:17,560 --> 00:55:20,319
Speaker 2: realizing more and more like there's more things we're gonna

1029
00:55:20,320 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 2: have to keep our eye on that I initially throw

1030
00:55:22,840 --> 00:55:25,480
Speaker 2: with some of the competitions that we're expecting from one

1031
00:55:25,640 --> 00:55:28,120
Speaker 2: John to another. We go to John in Detroit. What

1032
00:55:28,200 --> 00:55:29,040
Speaker 2: do you got for us? John?

1033
00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 13: Yeah, Chris Maddy, thanks taking my car sure would have

1034
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:38,120
Speaker 13: been a lout for my old position in high school guard.

1035
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 13: You know, I'm really looking forward to Connor McGovern and well,

1036
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:46,320
Speaker 13: well that wholeful offensive line Cyrus for Taurans, both of

1037
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 13: those guys. You have a pretty good guy in Buffalo

1038
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:51,960
Speaker 13: there I played against for two seasons in high school

1039
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:53,640
Speaker 13: Joe Dolahmaler back.

1040
00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:54,480
Speaker 14: In the late sixties.

1041
00:55:54,680 --> 00:55:57,239
Speaker 13: Okay, we lined up head to head and for a

1042
00:55:57,320 --> 00:55:58,279
Speaker 13: couple of years in a row.

1043
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 14: He's on one class under me.

1044
00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:01,440
Speaker 13: A great guy.

1045
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:03,200
Speaker 14: Saw him last year at the Hall of Fame when

1046
00:56:03,239 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 14: the Bills and the Ravens played on TV there and

1047
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 14: that one of those tailgate outfits. But as excited as

1048
00:56:10,160 --> 00:56:12,080
Speaker 14: we can get about James Cook and all that, it's

1049
00:56:12,120 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 14: these grinders down on the line who particularly my governor.

1050
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 14: I mean, they went out and got this guy from

1051
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 14: Dallas and signed him for three years, and let's just hype.

1052
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 14: You know, cyrus Is is going to develop a lot

1053
00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,919
Speaker 14: quicker than a second round draft pick. Maybe he's still

1054
00:56:27,040 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 14: a true first round pick. And you know, the Electric

1055
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,040
Speaker 14: Company did pretty good. Joe Dee's the only eye from

1056
00:56:33,080 --> 00:56:35,600
Speaker 14: the Detroit Catholic High School league ever made making it

1057
00:56:35,719 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 14: to the NFL Hall of Fame.

1058
00:56:37,120 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 13: So let's get the linements in love.

1059
00:56:39,800 --> 00:56:42,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't have a problem with that. John good call,

1060
00:56:43,160 --> 00:56:46,040
Speaker 2: and he's right. I mean, you look at the free

1061
00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 2: agent contracts they handed out Maddy this offseason. They weren't

1062
00:56:49,680 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 2: breaking the bank on a lot of these signings. The

1063
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 2: McGovern signing was one of the few ones that they

1064
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,920
Speaker 2: did spend a lot of money. It's the most total

1065
00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:01,080
Speaker 2: contract value aside from the Ed Oliver extension, that they

1066
00:57:01,120 --> 00:57:03,280
Speaker 2: spend on a free agent, and I think it's because

1067
00:57:03,320 --> 00:57:05,200
Speaker 2: they want this guy to be a plug and play

1068
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:06,680
Speaker 2: person at the guard spot for them.

1069
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:09,080
Speaker 3: One of the first guys too, that was one of

1070
00:57:09,120 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 3: the first moves that they made. Are one of the

1071
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 3: first bigger moves that they made this offseason. And you

1072
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:18,000
Speaker 3: could tell Brandon Bean is putting money into this offensive

1073
00:57:18,040 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 3: line via guys like Connor McGovern, David Edwards, O Cyrus

1074
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 3: Torrance by drafting him and we hear them, Brandon and

1075
00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,720
Speaker 3: Shawn say time and time again, you really build first

1076
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,640
Speaker 3: through the trenches. And we've got a lot of offensive

1077
00:57:34,680 --> 00:57:37,400
Speaker 3: linemen and a lot of defensive linemen on this roster.

1078
00:57:37,760 --> 00:57:40,160
Speaker 3: So I'm really interested to see how it all shakes

1079
00:57:40,200 --> 00:57:42,640
Speaker 3: out through training camp and when we're going to be

1080
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,000
Speaker 3: able to start to see, Okay, these guys are looking

1081
00:57:45,200 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 3: like the starting five for this season because there's some

1082
00:57:48,040 --> 00:57:51,240
Speaker 3: spots that are open for the offensive line and then

1083
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 3: spots that are open for the defensive line. In terms

1084
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,640
Speaker 3: of guys who are going to be rotating through because

1085
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 3: we know that's how the defensive line likes to play

1086
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 3: under coach Watchington. But yeah, the offensive line this season,

1087
00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:05,840
Speaker 3: if they can find a five that is going to

1088
00:58:05,960 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 3: stay on the field and stay healthy throughout the season.

1089
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 3: I'm looking forward to seeing the type of protection that

1090
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 3: Josh Allen can get this season.

1091
00:58:14,160 --> 00:58:16,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, should be a deeper group based on the investments

1092
00:58:16,840 --> 00:58:20,320
Speaker 2: that they made there. And then yeah, hopefully the health

1093
00:58:20,440 --> 00:58:22,840
Speaker 2: is a lot better and you can keep the same

1094
00:58:22,920 --> 00:58:25,400
Speaker 2: five guys in there for at least most of the season.

1095
00:58:26,080 --> 00:58:28,440
Speaker 2: Back to the phones and to Scott in Florida. What

1096
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:29,320
Speaker 2: do you got for a Scott?

1097
00:58:30,400 --> 00:58:35,440
Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm looking at the combination of Josh and Cook

1098
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:40,400
Speaker 12: and McLay. It's gonna be wonderful. Well, you put them

1099
00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,640
Speaker 12: with our good guys, it's all coming together.

1100
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:46,160
Speaker 2: I think you've been cooking Kincaid. Is that what you're

1101
00:58:46,160 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 2: talking about?

1102
00:58:47,040 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 12: Yes?

1103
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:50,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, Yeah, I mean I like that. I mean

1104
00:58:51,240 --> 00:58:53,240
Speaker 2: those are names that have been mentioned before. So you're

1105
00:58:53,280 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 2: not alone, Scott. I think there is we can talk

1106
00:58:58,560 --> 00:59:01,760
Speaker 2: about this because it's obvious, is like, none of us

1107
00:59:01,840 --> 00:59:06,120
Speaker 2: know for sure. We have our hypotheses, you know, as

1108
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 2: to how good. Cook's going to be in the backfield.

1109
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 2: Even if we don't know the usage, we suspect that

1110
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,560
Speaker 2: Kincaid is going to be on the field sooner rather

1111
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:19,160
Speaker 2: than later. He's very excited about those two guys. I

1112
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:24,520
Speaker 2: wonder if people are more excited, Maddie about Cook as

1113
00:59:24,560 --> 00:59:28,480
Speaker 2: a runner or as a pass catcher in terms of

1114
00:59:28,840 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: making plays, big plays, because we've kind of heard a

1115
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:35,960
Speaker 2: mix of both here so far. Some people have called

1116
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:38,080
Speaker 2: and said, Cook's my guy. I think he's going to

1117
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 2: be more explosive as a runner than Singletary, and then

1118
00:59:40,640 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 2: we've heard other people say, you know, the way you

1119
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,120
Speaker 2: can catch the ball is very exciting. I wonder where

1120
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:47,320
Speaker 2: he makes a bigger impact. Is it going to be

1121
00:59:47,360 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 2: as a runner or is it going to be as

1122
00:59:48,720 --> 00:59:50,600
Speaker 2: a receiver. I mean, it'll get opportunity to.

1123
00:59:50,640 --> 00:59:55,120
Speaker 3: Do both, and both rooms are are pretty crowded too.

1124
00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: You talked about the usage that he could have, and

1125
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 3: he could do the type type of reps that he's

1126
01:00:01,040 --> 01:00:02,680
Speaker 3: going to get when he's going to be lined up

1127
01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:06,200
Speaker 3: in the backfield as a running back with the other

1128
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:08,760
Speaker 3: guys that they're going to use, and Damien Harris, Naim

1129
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 3: Hines and Latavious Murray possibly as well. And how is

1130
01:00:13,440 --> 01:00:15,440
Speaker 3: that going to shake out? How are they going to

1131
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:18,720
Speaker 3: share the rock in that regard? And then when he's

1132
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:20,680
Speaker 3: going to be catching the ball, you've got other wide

1133
01:00:20,720 --> 01:00:22,920
Speaker 3: receivers and of course he's going to be used differently

1134
01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:25,280
Speaker 3: than a lot of the other wide receivers in that

1135
01:00:25,360 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 3: wide receiver room. But it's not like this is an

1136
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:32,439
Speaker 3: offense with the weapons that they have that they are thin.

1137
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,080
Speaker 3: They've got a lot of people in these position groups.

1138
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 3: We'll see who kind of rises to the top and

1139
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:40,360
Speaker 3: training camp. And I think as we talk about Sleepers

1140
01:00:40,400 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 3: and James Cook and and Dalton Kincaid and Trent Sherfield

1141
01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:48,720
Speaker 3: and whatnot, I also think about Ken Dorsey in year two.

1142
01:00:49,640 --> 01:00:52,080
Speaker 3: How is it going to be different? How is it

1143
01:00:52,160 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 3: going to be the same but even better? Are we

1144
01:00:54,280 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 3: going to see a lot of similar things? But are

1145
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,160
Speaker 3: we going to see it at a higher level this season?

1146
01:00:59,040 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 3: What are the new rink to this offense? Is Goldin

1147
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 3: and Kada going to be involved in that? Is James

1148
01:01:04,480 --> 01:01:07,400
Speaker 3: Cook going to be involved in that? What about Damien Harris?

1149
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 3: Really interested to see kind of this year two with

1150
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:15,600
Speaker 3: Ken Dorsey because of the type of person that he is,

1151
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:18,440
Speaker 3: and because of the type of workhorse that he is.

1152
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 3: He is a guy that when you talk about Trey

1153
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 3: White Dean here when nobody else was here. There were

1154
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,800
Speaker 3: weeks right after the season when it was pretty quiet

1155
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,760
Speaker 3: around and who did I see? I saw Ken Dorsey

1156
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:34,200
Speaker 3: a lot right after the season, and I've continued to

1157
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,480
Speaker 3: see him throughout the off season in this building. The

1158
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:40,560
Speaker 3: way that he talked about going through every single game

1159
01:01:40,720 --> 01:01:45,080
Speaker 3: this past year and learning from everything, going through things again,

1160
01:01:45,240 --> 01:01:48,840
Speaker 3: and then being with Josh Allen for a second year

1161
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,560
Speaker 3: in that offensive coordinator role is very different than being

1162
01:01:51,600 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 3: his quarterbacks coach. The type of communication that we've heard

1163
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,440
Speaker 3: that has been better between Josh Allen and Ken Dorsey.

1164
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:03,000
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to see how this offense can kind

1165
01:02:03,040 --> 01:02:06,800
Speaker 3: of mature even more from last season. Because you have

1166
01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 3: a second year play caller. That's not an easy job

1167
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:12,880
Speaker 3: to do. As a first year play caller, we know

1168
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,800
Speaker 3: the type of background he has as a quarterback that

1169
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,360
Speaker 3: he had when he was at the University of Miami,

1170
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 3: the record that he had when he was a college quarterback,

1171
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 3: but being a play caller for the first time not

1172
01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 3: an easy task. Year two is going to be easier

1173
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:28,560
Speaker 3: to go through some of those motions.

1174
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:32,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think he'll be much improved. Not that he

1175
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:34,920
Speaker 2: was bad last year. I mean some of the numbers

1176
01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,760
Speaker 2: of this offense eclipsed what it was under Brian Dable

1177
01:02:38,080 --> 01:02:40,040
Speaker 2: last year as a first year play caller. So now

1178
01:02:40,120 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 2: in his second year, it should only be onward and upward.

1179
01:02:42,160 --> 01:02:44,640
Speaker 2: From here, Let's go back to the phones at eight

1180
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,160
Speaker 2: oh three five point fifty one eight eight eight five

1181
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,440
Speaker 2: fifty two, five fifty number to get on board. Got

1182
01:02:49,480 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 2: some open lines for you there, But we go to

1183
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:53,600
Speaker 2: Zach in Buffalo next. What do you got for a Zach?

1184
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:57,120
Speaker 9: Hey, Chris and Matty. Nice to talk to you guys. Sure,

1185
01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 9: so I got two for you if that's our right,

1186
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,680
Speaker 9: real quick, real quick. Damian Harris is someone I'm real

1187
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:05,320
Speaker 9: excited for.

1188
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 6: I know.

1189
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 9: I think a lot of the hype goes to James Cook.

1190
01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:10,720
Speaker 9: Weren't talking about the running back room, but as soon

1191
01:03:10,800 --> 01:03:13,440
Speaker 9: as we signed him, a lot of highlights came to mind,

1192
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:16,120
Speaker 9: specifically a lot of big runs against the Bills. So

1193
01:03:16,240 --> 01:03:19,000
Speaker 9: he's someone I'm real excited for. And then how about

1194
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 9: aj Klein on the defensive side. We obviously lost Trel Edmunds.

1195
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 9: That's a big hole to fill, literally, some big shoes

1196
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:28,600
Speaker 9: to fill. But he's a guy who's been hanging around

1197
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:30,960
Speaker 9: this last year for a few years. And if he

1198
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,880
Speaker 9: gets most of those slaps at middle linebacker, that's something

1199
01:03:33,920 --> 01:03:34,760
Speaker 9: I'm real comfortable with.

1200
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 2: All Right, Zach, good call, thanks for it. Let's start

1201
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 2: with Damien Harris. I was waiting for somebody to call

1202
01:03:42,600 --> 01:03:47,040
Speaker 2: and say Damien Harris because, to Zach's point, the guy

1203
01:03:47,240 --> 01:03:49,800
Speaker 2: was a Bill's killer. I mean, he's got I think

1204
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:52,720
Speaker 2: he had three touchdowns in his last four games against

1205
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:56,760
Speaker 2: the Bills, and everybody remembers the sixty four yard run

1206
01:03:56,800 --> 01:03:59,360
Speaker 2: for a touchdown in the windswept game that finished fourteen

1207
01:03:59,400 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 2: to ten. The Patriots. Now he's on this side of

1208
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,840
Speaker 2: the fence, and I'll say, for one, I'm happy about it,

1209
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:10,160
Speaker 2: and I think he brings a downhill rushing element to

1210
01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:14,040
Speaker 2: the team that they did not have previously. I mean,

1211
01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,880
Speaker 2: even they drafted Zach Moss in the hope that he

1212
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 2: could be that, but it never materialized. And after Zack

1213
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,600
Speaker 2: Moss broke his ankle in that Indie playoff game in

1214
01:04:23,640 --> 01:04:27,720
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, he never seemed like the same guy after that.

1215
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 2: And ultimately he gets moved in the nahem Heinz trade.

1216
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 2: And Damien Harris, I think, Maddie, you look at his career.

1217
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 2: I think almost three quarters of his career touchdowns have

1218
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:42,160
Speaker 2: come from five yards and in This is a guy

1219
01:04:42,240 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 2: that can push the pile, can take maybe some of

1220
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:49,120
Speaker 2: that goal line rushing load off of Josh, so he's

1221
01:04:49,200 --> 01:04:51,440
Speaker 2: not taking as many hits and getting beat up. And

1222
01:04:51,560 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 2: I think what's underrated about Damian Harris is his speed. Yes,

1223
01:04:56,560 --> 01:04:59,640
Speaker 2: he's a downhill runner, but he's got some juice in

1224
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:02,160
Speaker 2: his own only twenty four years old that I think.

1225
01:05:02,240 --> 01:05:05,560
Speaker 2: The one caveat with him is he's got to stay healthy.

1226
01:05:05,680 --> 01:05:09,160
Speaker 2: He does have a history of hamstring tweaks in his career,

1227
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,680
Speaker 2: so he's got to be on top of that and

1228
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:15,360
Speaker 2: I think with this athletic training staff that should happen.

1229
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,680
Speaker 2: But yeah, I'm surprised it took until hour two to

1230
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:20,800
Speaker 2: mention Damian Harris.

1231
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:24,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he played in only eleven games last season. You know,

1232
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,120
Speaker 3: vermondre Stevenson really had a breakout year this past year

1233
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 3: for the Patriots, so that probably had to do with

1234
01:05:30,760 --> 01:05:34,320
Speaker 3: some of that as well. Going into year five, he

1235
01:05:34,400 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 3: had fifteen rushing touchdowns during that twenty twenty one season.

1236
01:05:38,600 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 3: I'm excited to see how he can offer that to

1237
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,920
Speaker 3: the Bills. I like the attitude that he plays with.

1238
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 3: He's got some swag, he's got some He's a mean runner,

1239
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 3: and we haven't had that on this roster. I think

1240
01:05:52,720 --> 01:05:55,680
Speaker 3: back to Sean and Brandon's first year and I started

1241
01:05:55,720 --> 01:05:58,280
Speaker 3: covering this team in twenty nineteen and you talked about

1242
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:00,840
Speaker 3: Zach Moss and how that didn't really materialize. We really

1243
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,360
Speaker 3: haven't had that bulldozer type running back on this roster.

1244
01:06:04,760 --> 01:06:07,479
Speaker 3: And he can be that, and that takes that takes

1245
01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:09,640
Speaker 3: a load off of what Josh Allen needs to do.

1246
01:06:10,160 --> 01:06:14,360
Speaker 3: And Josh has always been that, maybe when some of

1247
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:16,720
Speaker 3: the coaching staff didn't want him to be that, but

1248
01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:20,160
Speaker 3: he chose to be that in some situations. And maybe

1249
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 3: he's not gonna have to do that this season, and

1250
01:06:23,400 --> 01:06:27,160
Speaker 3: Damian Harris can can definitely help with that. I'm I'm

1251
01:06:27,240 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 3: excited to have that element to our roster that is proven.

1252
01:06:31,040 --> 01:06:33,479
Speaker 3: You're not taking a rookie and Zach Moss who's gonna

1253
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,600
Speaker 3: take a couple years to get into it and get

1254
01:06:36,680 --> 01:06:39,840
Speaker 3: with it. You're taking a player who has played at

1255
01:06:39,880 --> 01:06:43,240
Speaker 3: that level with the Patriots. Who's had the stats and

1256
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,040
Speaker 3: who is proven, and you can hopefully do a copy paste.

1257
01:06:47,120 --> 01:06:49,760
Speaker 3: There's not gonna be. It's not gonna take three years

1258
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:52,280
Speaker 3: for him to get involved in this offense. It's a

1259
01:06:52,360 --> 01:06:55,440
Speaker 3: play now, have an impact now type of mentality for him.

1260
01:06:56,080 --> 01:07:01,080
Speaker 2: As for aj Klein, I think whether he'll be part

1261
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,400
Speaker 2: of the competition for the starting role remains to be seen.

1262
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:09,560
Speaker 2: I view him, and this is no knock on him, Maddie,

1263
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,920
Speaker 2: but I view him as their veteran insurance policy. It's

1264
01:07:13,960 --> 01:07:16,520
Speaker 2: a guy that knows the defense inside and out. He's

1265
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 2: called this defense before in his career. I think the

1266
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:25,680
Speaker 2: limitations of his game as a coverage player make him

1267
01:07:26,280 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 2: an insurance policy. If none of these young, unproven guys

1268
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:37,840
Speaker 2: like Terrell Bernard, Dorian Williams, Baylen Spector, and Tyrrell Dotson,

1269
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:42,520
Speaker 2: if none of these guys are separating themselves at the

1270
01:07:42,600 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 2: starting position in a competition, whether it's in training camp

1271
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:49,960
Speaker 2: or in the preseason games, this is your fallback option, right.

1272
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,480
Speaker 2: That's how kind of I see it. I don't know,

1273
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:52,520
Speaker 2: maybe you see it differently.

1274
01:07:52,680 --> 01:07:55,320
Speaker 3: No, I see it that way as well, and I

1275
01:07:55,520 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 3: feel really good about that, and you could say people

1276
01:07:59,080 --> 01:08:02,560
Speaker 3: are sleeping on him in terms of him being that

1277
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:07,200
Speaker 3: fail safe option is if he is going to be

1278
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,000
Speaker 3: the guy, or if he is going to be the

1279
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 3: guy that fills in, or if he's going to see

1280
01:08:11,600 --> 01:08:15,480
Speaker 3: playing time on the field, whenever that happens, however that happens,

1281
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:18,639
Speaker 3: I feel really good about having him on the field.

1282
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:21,280
Speaker 3: He can't do some of the things that a Matt

1283
01:08:21,360 --> 01:08:24,120
Speaker 3: Mullano can do that some of your more matchup linebackers

1284
01:08:24,200 --> 01:08:26,640
Speaker 3: can do. But he has been in this defense with

1285
01:08:26,720 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott since before they were both a part of

1286
01:08:30,160 --> 01:08:33,080
Speaker 3: the Buffalo Bills, go back to the Carolina Panthers day.

1287
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:36,280
Speaker 3: He is a really good veteran to have in that room.

1288
01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:39,120
Speaker 3: I think you could say people are sleeping on what

1289
01:08:39,320 --> 01:08:42,760
Speaker 3: he brings to that room as a veteran, with how

1290
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:45,120
Speaker 3: he can teach some of these younger guys, how he

1291
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 3: can teach a Terrell Bernard and a Dorian Williams if

1292
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 3: it ends up being Dorian Williams who is on the

1293
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:55,360
Speaker 3: field for Week one. A reason why he's going to

1294
01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,840
Speaker 3: earn that starting spot is because he's going to pick

1295
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,640
Speaker 3: up the defense in a short amount of time. And

1296
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,280
Speaker 3: Ajklin is going to be a big part of that.

1297
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:05,880
Speaker 3: Ajklin is going to be a big helper in that room.

1298
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:09,320
Speaker 3: When you have a guy who Sean McDermott has talked

1299
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 3: about did not play in a really hard defense to

1300
01:09:13,040 --> 01:09:15,519
Speaker 3: learn when he was at two lane, it's it's gonna

1301
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:17,920
Speaker 3: be a lot for that rookie to be able to

1302
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 3: pick up a defense that is not the easiest to learn.

1303
01:09:20,720 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 3: If it's him on the field week one.

1304
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, an anticipator in every sense of the word. And

1305
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 2: while I might not be ready to put him in

1306
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:30,280
Speaker 2: the starting lineup or even in the competition for the

1307
01:09:30,320 --> 01:09:32,920
Speaker 2: starting middle linebacker job, I do feel pretty confident that

1308
01:09:33,000 --> 01:09:34,920
Speaker 2: he's going to be on the fifty three man roster. Yes,

1309
01:09:35,040 --> 01:09:37,639
Speaker 2: we know that Sean McDermott likes to have a veteran

1310
01:09:37,800 --> 01:09:40,960
Speaker 2: in every position room, and this is a great veteran

1311
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:44,360
Speaker 2: to put in that room where there is a balance of,

1312
01:09:44,600 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 2: as we said, unproven players, at least at the NFL level.

1313
01:09:48,240 --> 01:09:50,439
Speaker 2: Eight h three zero five point fifty one eight eight

1314
01:09:50,560 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty the number to get on board.

1315
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,920
Speaker 2: Who is the one Bills player you believe people are

1316
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:59,160
Speaker 2: sleeping on. Let's crack open the tweets sheet here, haven't

1317
01:09:59,200 --> 01:10:01,280
Speaker 2: done that yet on the show. Show tweets sheet is

1318
01:10:01,280 --> 01:10:03,880
Speaker 2: always brought to you by Corgan Moving Systems, the official

1319
01:10:03,920 --> 01:10:07,519
Speaker 2: equipment routing company of the Buffalo Bills. Matthew leads us

1320
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,600
Speaker 2: off and he says, aj EPINESSA is my vote. I

1321
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:14,439
Speaker 2: think he breaks through this year. Everyone's counting him as

1322
01:10:14,479 --> 01:10:17,280
Speaker 2: a second round bust. That's a little strong. He had

1323
01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 2: seven sacks and two forced fumbles last year. Being that

1324
01:10:20,400 --> 01:10:22,960
Speaker 2: it's a contract year and with the added attention to

1325
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 2: Von Miller and Leonard Floyd, I could see him easily

1326
01:10:25,680 --> 01:10:29,280
Speaker 2: getting ten sacks this year. He's probably a rotational guy

1327
01:10:30,400 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 2: because of the people in front of him on the

1328
01:10:31,880 --> 01:10:36,000
Speaker 2: depth chart, and while seven sacks is good for a

1329
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 2: rotational player, he's really got to show up here in

1330
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 2: training camp because there are other people on this roster

1331
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,760
Speaker 2: nipping at his heels. Boogie Basham is a name that

1332
01:10:46,840 --> 01:10:50,320
Speaker 2: you already mentioned, Maddie and then Kingsley Jonathan, who was

1333
01:10:50,360 --> 01:10:53,040
Speaker 2: here on the roster last year as a practice squad

1334
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,599
Speaker 2: player as a rookie, got some time on the field

1335
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 2: at the end of the year, played in the Chicago game,

1336
01:10:57,640 --> 01:11:00,599
Speaker 2: flashed a couple of times, I think that's a guy

1337
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 2: that's kind of nipping at their heels as well. So

1338
01:11:03,360 --> 01:11:06,920
Speaker 2: there is a boatload of competition. And we haven't even

1339
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:11,719
Speaker 2: mentioned Shaq Lawson, who's arguably the best run defending defensive

1340
01:11:11,800 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 2: end on this roster. May not be the best pass

1341
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 2: rusher on the roster, but you want to talk about

1342
01:11:16,360 --> 01:11:19,240
Speaker 2: setting an edge at the defensive end position, You'd be

1343
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 2: hard pressed to find a better guy on this roster

1344
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 2: than check Lawson in that area of the game. So

1345
01:11:24,320 --> 01:11:26,280
Speaker 2: AJ's got his work cut out for him, along with

1346
01:11:26,360 --> 01:11:29,640
Speaker 2: all those other guys I just mentioned because Steve and

1347
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:31,599
Speaker 2: I were talking about on the show last week, Maddie,

1348
01:11:32,080 --> 01:11:34,360
Speaker 2: you want to talk about a position that's gonna have

1349
01:11:34,400 --> 01:11:36,200
Speaker 2: a lot of difficult decisions to get down to the

1350
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,000
Speaker 2: fifty three, it's defensive end. I mean, it's a good

1351
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 2: problem to have, but it's still a problem kicking the

1352
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:42,559
Speaker 2: right people.

1353
01:11:42,680 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 3: You wonder, are they gonna carry an extra guy on

1354
01:11:45,240 --> 01:11:48,519
Speaker 3: the roster just because it is so hard to make

1355
01:11:48,560 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 3: those decisions, or because not because it's too hard to

1356
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:54,240
Speaker 3: make the decisions. They can make those decisions, they're challenging,

1357
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:57,840
Speaker 3: but maybe because they feel like they need an extra body,

1358
01:11:57,840 --> 01:11:59,920
Speaker 3: and they feel like that extra body can really help

1359
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:03,000
Speaker 3: being on the fifty three men roster. I hope people

1360
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:06,000
Speaker 3: are sleeping on aj Apanessa. I want him to have

1361
01:12:06,240 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 3: that breakout season. I want him to have that consistent year.

1362
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 3: I want him to have another seven, eight, nine, ten

1363
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 3: sacks season. I want to see it out of him.

1364
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 3: This is the year to prove that and prove that

1365
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,120
Speaker 3: you belong on this roster and prove that y're you

1366
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:27,040
Speaker 3: should be a part of that rotational however, many players

1367
01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:31,920
Speaker 3: that nine deep, rotating eight deep, rotating every single game.

1368
01:12:32,600 --> 01:12:34,439
Speaker 3: I want him to show up and prove it in

1369
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:39,160
Speaker 3: training camp, same as Boogie. It's time, this is this

1370
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 3: is your year. Do you want to be a starter

1371
01:12:41,240 --> 01:12:43,479
Speaker 3: on this team or not. Let's see what you can

1372
01:12:43,520 --> 01:12:45,560
Speaker 3: do in training camp. And I'm sure they feel that

1373
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 3: pressure as well. I know, you know we're talking about it,

1374
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,439
Speaker 3: but I'm sure they can feel it with the amount

1375
01:12:51,479 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 3: of guys that are in that room right now.

1376
01:12:53,960 --> 01:12:57,479
Speaker 2: Darlene. On the tweets, it says Khalil Shakir. Last season

1377
01:12:57,600 --> 01:12:59,880
Speaker 2: he showed some promising plays and games that were mean.

1378
01:13:00,880 --> 01:13:02,720
Speaker 2: I feel like this is his season to show what

1379
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,839
Speaker 2: he's made of don't sleep on him. It's a popular choice. Darlene.

1380
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 2: You're probably about the fourth or fifth person we've heard

1381
01:13:08,840 --> 01:13:12,679
Speaker 2: from today who has picked Khalil Shakir, and we totally

1382
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,919
Speaker 2: understand why he did make promising plays that were meaningful

1383
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:18,439
Speaker 2: at the end of the year last season. We do

1384
01:13:18,560 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 2: have to take a break here, still taking your phone

1385
01:13:20,960 --> 01:13:23,680
Speaker 2: calls at eight oh three five point fifty one, eight

1386
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,479
Speaker 2: eight five point fifty two, five point fifty the one

1387
01:13:26,600 --> 01:13:29,200
Speaker 2: Bills player. You think people are sleeping on for the

1388
01:13:29,400 --> 01:13:32,040
Speaker 2: upcoming season, you let us know and we'll get your

1389
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 2: your answers on next here on One Bill's Live, presented

1390
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 2: by Kalada Help, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Welcome back to

1391
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 2: a Monday edition of One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Matty

1392
01:13:51,439 --> 01:13:52,000
Speaker 2: Glad with you.

1393
01:13:53,160 --> 01:13:55,200
Speaker 7: And there is some news.

1394
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 2: Afoot in the NFL. As we know, HBO was trying

1395
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,519
Speaker 2: to find a team to be the subject of their

1396
01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:06,720
Speaker 2: annual Hard Knocks program, and there are reports out there

1397
01:14:06,760 --> 01:14:09,880
Speaker 2: that they have found their team and it is the

1398
01:14:10,080 --> 01:14:13,400
Speaker 2: New York j e t As Jets, Jets Jets that

1399
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:17,599
Speaker 2: according to Pro Football Talks Mike Florio, apparently a source

1400
01:14:17,600 --> 01:14:19,840
Speaker 2: has informed him that the Jets will be the Hard

1401
01:14:19,880 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 2: Knocks team this season. The Jets apparently had no interest

1402
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 2: in being assigned as the HBO Hard Knocks team, but

1403
01:14:30,439 --> 01:14:35,000
Speaker 2: because they did not make the playoffs, they cannot refuse

1404
01:14:35,160 --> 01:14:37,599
Speaker 2: the assignment. If you make the playoffs, you can turn

1405
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:41,559
Speaker 2: it down. If you do not, you cannot. At least

1406
01:14:41,600 --> 01:14:44,599
Speaker 2: I believe that's how it works. I think there's one

1407
01:14:44,640 --> 01:14:46,880
Speaker 2: other exception. If you were the team the previous year,

1408
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:49,160
Speaker 2: you don't have to be again this year. Because they

1409
01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,200
Speaker 2: did approach Detroit and ask if they would do it again,

1410
01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:56,680
Speaker 2: my guess is they said no. But holy cow, what

1411
01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,000
Speaker 2: a circus that's going to be. That is so delicious.

1412
01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 3: Up. I'm here for all of it. I have appointment viewing.

1413
01:15:03,600 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 3: I haven't watched this in a few years. Yes, give

1414
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:10,800
Speaker 3: me all of it. I just want to watch.

1415
01:15:11,040 --> 01:15:13,040
Speaker 2: Not to mention the fact that the Bills, as we know,

1416
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,960
Speaker 2: kick off the season with the Jets down at Medlife

1417
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Speaker 2: Stadium in Week one Monday Night Football, So it would

1418
01:15:20,080 --> 01:15:23,920
Speaker 2: behoove most Bills fans to kind of keep an eye

1419
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,840
Speaker 2: on this, see what's going down in New York if

1420
01:15:25,880 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 2: you want to get a handle on the opponent and

1421
01:15:27,960 --> 01:15:30,320
Speaker 2: how things are going with one Aaron Rodgers down there.

1422
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:33,920
Speaker 2: So the last time they were on hard knocks, Rex

1423
01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:37,559
Speaker 2: Ryan was the coach and it was twenty twenty ten

1424
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:42,200
Speaker 2: or twenty eleven, I can't remember, and they were doing

1425
01:15:42,320 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: training camp up at Courtland at Suny Cortland, and I

1426
01:15:46,240 --> 01:15:49,639
Speaker 2: remember Darrell Reevez was holding out for a contract. He's

1427
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:52,880
Speaker 2: had a diner in Roscoe, New York. Oh my gosh,

1428
01:15:53,200 --> 01:15:56,679
Speaker 2: the drama alone. And that's when Rex Ryan famously said,

1429
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,679
Speaker 2: now let's go get a GD snack, you know, after

1430
01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 2: a spirited address of the team and an evening meeting room.

1431
01:16:04,479 --> 01:16:08,800
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, it's gonna be glorious. Cannot wait. And

1432
01:16:09,280 --> 01:16:12,960
Speaker 2: I hope, as much as I've hoped for anything, that

1433
01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:16,120
Speaker 2: it is a major distraction for that football team. Yep,

1434
01:16:16,800 --> 01:16:19,840
Speaker 2: only hope for that. Uh eight oh three five point

1435
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:22,400
Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight five point fifty two, five fifty

1436
01:16:22,479 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 2: number to get on board. As we are asking you,

1437
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:27,280
Speaker 2: who is the one Bill's player you think people are

1438
01:16:27,320 --> 01:16:30,559
Speaker 2: sleeping on that could have a breakout season this year.

1439
01:16:30,680 --> 01:16:35,640
Speaker 2: On the tweet sheet, east zone coverage, says Dorian Williams.

1440
01:16:35,920 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 2: That is a bold pick. East zone coverage, excellent speed,

1441
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:42,880
Speaker 2: goodwill type linebacker will likely see him more towards the

1442
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:46,400
Speaker 2: back half of the season as things unfold, but as

1443
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,200
Speaker 2: Milano assumes more of the mic role, I don't think

1444
01:16:49,240 --> 01:16:52,680
Speaker 2: that's happening. You'll start to see Dorian Williams picking up

1445
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 2: the trash at weak side linebacker. We'll have to see

1446
01:16:57,880 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: he's part of the middle linebacker competition. It's not to

1447
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:03,800
Speaker 2: say he hasn't lined up at will, because he's played

1448
01:17:03,840 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 2: both positions in college at Tulane, and they said they

1449
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:10,759
Speaker 2: want to see how quickly he can pick up the defense,

1450
01:17:10,840 --> 01:17:14,120
Speaker 2: which will largely determine whether he remains at the middle

1451
01:17:14,160 --> 01:17:17,880
Speaker 2: linebacker competition spot or whether he does slide over to

1452
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:19,760
Speaker 2: the other I don't think they're going to mess with

1453
01:17:19,840 --> 01:17:22,640
Speaker 2: Matt Milano's spot though. The guys in All Pro at

1454
01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:26,960
Speaker 2: week side linebacker don't change that. Yeah, that works really well.

1455
01:17:27,400 --> 01:17:31,760
Speaker 3: Sean McDermott was asked if Matt Milano would switch positions.

1456
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,800
Speaker 3: I think right when guys came back for workouts in

1457
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 3: April or maybe it was like the first OTA practice,

1458
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:39,479
Speaker 3: and he said no, that would not be the case.

1459
01:17:40,120 --> 01:17:42,920
Speaker 3: I keep going back to when we heard from Bobby Babbage,

1460
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:46,400
Speaker 3: we heard from all the defensive coaches throughout OTAs, which

1461
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:48,680
Speaker 3: was awesome to kind of hear them talk about their

1462
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,880
Speaker 3: position groups and the guys in it, some of the

1463
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 3: new players, players coming back from injury, and Bobby Babbage

1464
01:17:54,680 --> 01:17:58,000
Speaker 3: of course, was asked of that competition and what he

1465
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 3: thought of it and what they're looking for, and he

1466
01:18:00,880 --> 01:18:03,320
Speaker 3: didn't say this is exactly what they're looking for, but

1467
01:18:03,439 --> 01:18:06,480
Speaker 3: he did say, with the way the NFL and offenses

1468
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 3: are played now in today's NFL, if you're able to

1469
01:18:11,479 --> 01:18:15,160
Speaker 3: have two matchup linebackers, that bodes well for you. You

1470
01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:18,920
Speaker 3: can run a really good defense. You can do a

1471
01:18:19,000 --> 01:18:23,000
Speaker 3: lot more things if you have two matchup linebackers. Because

1472
01:18:23,040 --> 01:18:26,519
Speaker 3: of the type of types of offenses we're seeing in

1473
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 3: today's NFL, Matt Milano matchup linebacker Dorian Williams could be

1474
01:18:31,800 --> 01:18:35,560
Speaker 3: that he needs to learn the defense. And again I

1475
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 3: said this earlier, it's not easy to learn. It's not

1476
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,759
Speaker 3: something that happens over a couple of weeks. It's something

1477
01:18:41,080 --> 01:18:44,160
Speaker 3: that happens over months. It's something that could happen over

1478
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:47,720
Speaker 3: an entire season. He might be playing and learning and

1479
01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:50,560
Speaker 3: picking it up. Matt Milano might have to if it

1480
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,280
Speaker 3: is Dorian Williams on the field or even Trell Bernard

1481
01:18:53,360 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 3: one of the younger guys. Matt Milano is gonna have

1482
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:57,960
Speaker 3: to probably do a little bit more in his role

1483
01:18:58,080 --> 01:19:00,360
Speaker 3: knowing that he has a younger player next to him,

1484
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:03,240
Speaker 3: even if it's Tyrel Dodson next to him. That's some

1485
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 3: that's somebody that hasn't had as much starting experience as

1486
01:19:06,680 --> 01:19:09,680
Speaker 3: Matt Milano has had. But those are two guys in

1487
01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:13,280
Speaker 3: Terrell and Dorian who do kind of fit fit make

1488
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 3: up that proto type of NFL linebacker that this defense

1489
01:19:18,040 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 3: may want to move toward over the next few years.

1490
01:19:21,240 --> 01:19:23,639
Speaker 3: If it's not this year or the year after, maybe

1491
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,920
Speaker 3: maybe Dorian Williams can be that guy when he's ready

1492
01:19:27,240 --> 01:19:28,719
Speaker 3: and comfortable with the defense.

1493
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the phones at eight oh three,

1494
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 2: five point fifty one eighty eight, five fifty two, five

1495
01:19:35,040 --> 01:19:37,439
Speaker 2: fifty to justin into pew next. What do you got

1496
01:19:37,479 --> 01:19:38,880
Speaker 2: for is justin? You're on one Bill's Live.

1497
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:41,120
Speaker 15: Hey, guys, how are you doing today?

1498
01:19:42,240 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 4: Good.

1499
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:45,200
Speaker 15: I don't know if anyone brought this up yet, but

1500
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 15: I think what Terry Vus Murray is a possible sleeper.

1501
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 15: I think builds fans when we sign him there just

1502
01:19:53,520 --> 01:19:56,000
Speaker 15: assumed he's going to be another keyd Yell than Duke

1503
01:19:56,080 --> 01:20:00,360
Speaker 15: Johnston type. The reason I bring him up is a

1504
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:06,200
Speaker 15: Damian Harris's injury history, there's possibility he'll miss some games

1505
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,560
Speaker 15: be I don't think people realize how good of a

1506
01:20:10,640 --> 01:20:14,759
Speaker 15: year Latavius Murray had last year. He had some real pop.

1507
01:20:14,800 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 15: I know he's thirty three, but he played really well

1508
01:20:17,040 --> 01:20:21,040
Speaker 15: for the Broncos and Damien Harris in New England. Ran

1509
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:25,360
Speaker 15: a lot from a non shotgunformation from under center, and

1510
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 15: I think there might be an adjustment period for him

1511
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,840
Speaker 15: for as much as the Bills run shotgun, especially when

1512
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:34,320
Speaker 15: it comes to pass attacking cautch down to the backfield

1513
01:20:34,360 --> 01:20:39,639
Speaker 15: and stuff like that. So I think possibly help depending

1514
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 15: I know he's in an older running back that Latavious

1515
01:20:42,680 --> 01:20:47,120
Speaker 15: Murray could take more snatch maybe than people realize, taking

1516
01:20:47,160 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 15: away from Damien Harris, especially on third down. And he's

1517
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,680
Speaker 15: a straight power runner like Damien Harris, but just his

1518
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 15: experience and him being running from the shotgun more, I

1519
01:20:59,200 --> 01:21:00,880
Speaker 15: think people will be surprise. How much for you?

1520
01:21:01,600 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a good call, justin and well thought out

1521
01:21:04,080 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 2: as well. Yeah, he averaged four point four yards of

1522
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:10,360
Speaker 2: carry last year, playing basically between New Orleans and Denver.

1523
01:21:10,439 --> 01:21:12,920
Speaker 2: He only played one game for New Orleans and then

1524
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:15,200
Speaker 2: the Saints had to put him on waivers because they

1525
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:19,320
Speaker 2: had to accommodate another position that needed more bodies, so

1526
01:21:19,400 --> 01:21:21,360
Speaker 2: they put him on waivers and oh, we'll get him

1527
01:21:21,360 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 2: back and whatever, and then Denver's like, uh, no, we

1528
01:21:23,840 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 2: need him because we lost Javonte Williams for the season

1529
01:21:26,920 --> 01:21:30,600
Speaker 2: and he played there and did quite well. Yeah, the

1530
01:21:30,680 --> 01:21:37,200
Speaker 2: shotgun thing, it's a valid point. I just wonder how

1531
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 2: much the offense morphs and changes this year, because I

1532
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:42,640
Speaker 2: think there was a lot to be said at the

1533
01:21:42,760 --> 01:21:47,080
Speaker 2: end of the season by fans, mainly that play action

1534
01:21:47,400 --> 01:21:51,280
Speaker 2: was not used nearly enough by the Bills last season,

1535
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,200
Speaker 2: and it was something that Brian Dable did use more

1536
01:21:54,280 --> 01:21:57,000
Speaker 2: than Ken Dorsey did. Do they go back to that

1537
01:21:57,760 --> 01:22:00,439
Speaker 2: because of some of the deficiencies they might have observed

1538
01:22:00,560 --> 01:22:03,439
Speaker 2: in the run game. I'm just guessing they might, they

1539
01:22:03,520 --> 01:22:07,960
Speaker 2: might not. I'm not trying to indicate that Latavius Murray

1540
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:12,640
Speaker 2: is somebody that's an afterthought. I think Damien Harris is

1541
01:22:12,680 --> 01:22:16,719
Speaker 2: a little bit better physical skill set all the way around.

1542
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:20,960
Speaker 2: He is certainly faster than Latavius Murray. If you want

1543
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:24,880
Speaker 2: to argue for Murray's behalf, he's he's a bull. I mean,

1544
01:22:24,920 --> 01:22:28,839
Speaker 2: he is a pile pusher. He's a big, strong athlete

1545
01:22:28,880 --> 01:22:31,280
Speaker 2: at six foot three, you know, two hundred and thirty

1546
01:22:31,280 --> 01:22:36,280
Speaker 2: something pounds, so he's a big boy. But yeah, he'll

1547
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 2: get a chance, make no mistake, he'll get a chance.

1548
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 2: And maybe all of them are on the roster, you know,

1549
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 2: when all is said and done, maybe it's Murray Harris

1550
01:22:46,080 --> 01:22:49,280
Speaker 2: and you know James Cook, and they have the two

1551
01:22:49,360 --> 01:22:53,160
Speaker 2: big bodies to go with Cook, and maybe Nahem Hines

1552
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:54,559
Speaker 2: is strictly a return man.

1553
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:57,800
Speaker 3: I remember, you know, a couple of years, I'd pick

1554
01:22:57,920 --> 01:23:01,280
Speaker 3: up Latavius Murray for my fantasy football team. So I

1555
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,479
Speaker 3: was always excited when I ended up picking him up

1556
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:08,919
Speaker 3: because this is a running back that works. He has carries,

1557
01:23:09,040 --> 01:23:12,559
Speaker 3: he has rushing yards, he gets in the end zone.

1558
01:23:12,720 --> 01:23:16,040
Speaker 3: Regardless of the team that he's on. He's always been

1559
01:23:16,560 --> 01:23:19,599
Speaker 3: a type of workhorse. And the only year he had

1560
01:23:19,760 --> 01:23:23,000
Speaker 3: under five hundred rushing yards was his first year in

1561
01:23:23,080 --> 01:23:26,400
Speaker 3: the NFL. So he's put up numbers, maybe not as

1562
01:23:26,479 --> 01:23:30,000
Speaker 3: your number one running back, but he's been a reliable

1563
01:23:30,120 --> 01:23:33,479
Speaker 3: option for every single team that he's been on, and yeah,

1564
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:35,519
Speaker 3: you look back to Denver, he did a lot for them.

1565
01:23:35,800 --> 01:23:39,040
Speaker 3: He played in twelve games, had over seven hundred rushing yards,

1566
01:23:39,840 --> 01:23:44,120
Speaker 3: five rushing touchdowns, started in seven games for them last season.

1567
01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:47,640
Speaker 3: So that's we keep going back to some of these

1568
01:23:47,720 --> 01:23:51,920
Speaker 3: position groups that are we're sleeping on certain players, but

1569
01:23:52,320 --> 01:23:55,360
Speaker 3: these are also position groups that will be very intriguing

1570
01:23:55,439 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 3: once we get to training camp because we just don't

1571
01:23:58,240 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 3: know what it's gonna look like. The numbers that they

1572
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,080
Speaker 3: could carry on this fifty three men roster. There could

1573
01:24:03,080 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 3: be an extra guy in the running backs room, or

1574
01:24:05,920 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 3: on the offensive line or on the defensive line. How

1575
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:11,599
Speaker 3: is it all gonna shake out? Every year we've said

1576
01:24:11,840 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 3: it's tougher and tougher to make this roster, and I

1577
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,479
Speaker 3: agree with that this season, but I think this year,

1578
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:21,080
Speaker 3: just the mind games that you play with yourself of

1579
01:24:21,400 --> 01:24:23,920
Speaker 3: how is this gonna shake out? Who's gonna fit here,

1580
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:26,599
Speaker 3: who's gonna fit there. It's almost like there's not enough

1581
01:24:26,720 --> 01:24:29,000
Speaker 3: spaces for these guys. I know we say that every

1582
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:32,200
Speaker 3: single year, but this year, the depth that this team has,

1583
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,920
Speaker 3: I think is unlike the depth that they've had since

1584
01:24:36,080 --> 01:24:40,400
Speaker 3: Sean and Brandon took over every single position. Group. I

1585
01:24:40,479 --> 01:24:42,640
Speaker 3: think you could say is better off because of what

1586
01:24:42,760 --> 01:24:45,599
Speaker 3: they did in the offseason, and I think that's gonna

1587
01:24:45,600 --> 01:24:47,880
Speaker 3: pay off hopefully once we get to Week one and

1588
01:24:47,920 --> 01:24:49,679
Speaker 3: the type of team that we see on the field,

1589
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:50,639
Speaker 3: it gonna.

1590
01:24:50,439 --> 01:24:54,920
Speaker 2: Be a very hard roster to make for sure, no

1591
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:57,240
Speaker 2: matter how talented you are, just because of the depth

1592
01:24:57,640 --> 01:25:01,599
Speaker 2: of talent they've been able to accumulate this offseason. From

1593
01:25:01,640 --> 01:25:05,880
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bill's Biz on the tweet sheet, my sleeper is

1594
01:25:06,040 --> 01:25:12,080
Speaker 2: James Cook. You will see like the confidence there, like

1595
01:25:12,160 --> 01:25:15,680
Speaker 2: the confidence there. We have to take a break when

1596
01:25:15,720 --> 01:25:18,479
Speaker 2: we come back. Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet

1597
01:25:18,520 --> 01:25:22,840
Speaker 2: about sleeper picks for the twenty twenty three season. Who

1598
01:25:23,479 --> 01:25:27,640
Speaker 2: is a Bills player you believe people are sleeping on?

1599
01:25:28,120 --> 01:25:30,439
Speaker 2: More of your choices next here on One Bill's Live

1600
01:25:30,520 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 2: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right.

1601
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,320
Speaker 2: Some final thoughts on the tweet sheet here on One

1602
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:52,080
Speaker 2: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Matti Labrick. You got some new

1603
01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 2: names here, Maddie pat says, I think Justin Shorter is

1604
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:57,960
Speaker 2: going to be the diamond in the rough this year

1605
01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 2: with Digg's NOx and Kincai getting all the atin. A

1606
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,320
Speaker 2: six to four wide receiver will be a nice target

1607
01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:05,200
Speaker 2: for Josh Taylor. Rapp will be the difference maker on

1608
01:26:05,320 --> 01:26:07,760
Speaker 2: the other side of the ball. I'm glad Sean will

1609
01:26:07,800 --> 01:26:11,720
Speaker 2: be making the play calls. Steve says, Gabe Davis is

1610
01:26:11,760 --> 01:26:14,519
Speaker 2: probably the correct answer, but I will say Spencer Brown

1611
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 2: maybe a candidate as well. People are a down on him,

1612
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,680
Speaker 2: but he's battled through injury and has never actually been

1613
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,639
Speaker 2: one hundred percent. I believe he will surprise fans when

1614
01:26:22,680 --> 01:26:25,160
Speaker 2: he is healthy. There's another third year player. Yeah, we

1615
01:26:25,240 --> 01:26:27,559
Speaker 2: had Greg Russau earlier in the show. Spencer Brown's another

1616
01:26:27,600 --> 01:26:28,240
Speaker 2: third year guy.

1617
01:26:28,680 --> 01:26:32,800
Speaker 3: I think Spencer Brown is a great option to have here,

1618
01:26:33,080 --> 01:26:35,439
Speaker 3: a player that I think a lot of people are

1619
01:26:35,560 --> 01:26:38,720
Speaker 3: sleeping on because of the injuries that he's had and

1620
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:44,160
Speaker 3: how that's affected him on the offensive line. I'm really

1621
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,600
Speaker 3: interested to see how he comes out this season. I

1622
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:50,040
Speaker 3: would love to see a healthy season from him. Hopefully

1623
01:26:50,120 --> 01:26:53,040
Speaker 3: that's the case, and if it is the case, Brandon

1624
01:26:53,080 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 3: Bean and Sean McDermott are confident with what they have

1625
01:26:55,479 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 3: in Spencer Brown. They know he hasn't been dealt the

1626
01:26:58,600 --> 01:27:01,040
Speaker 3: easiest card with the injury that he's had in his

1627
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:04,840
Speaker 3: first couple years as an NFL offensive lineman. But if

1628
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 3: he can do that this season, it'd be great to

1629
01:27:08,280 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 3: have your right tackle figured out.

1630
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:15,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, Patrick on the tweets sheet says new edition Deonte Hardy.

1631
01:27:15,880 --> 01:27:20,280
Speaker 2: I just think it's the unfamiliarity with his game. But

1632
01:27:20,400 --> 01:27:23,479
Speaker 2: this guy can stretch the field vertically, also get loose

1633
01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 2: on bubble screens and out routes. Guy is a burner.

1634
01:27:26,640 --> 01:27:29,599
Speaker 2: We've heard Brandon Bean say it, Maddie. This guy has

1635
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:35,519
Speaker 2: another gear. Even though he's already instantly explosive off the line,

1636
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:38,640
Speaker 2: there's another gear he hits after the catch, and I

1637
01:27:38,720 --> 01:27:41,320
Speaker 2: think they're hoping that he can be a real yards

1638
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 2: after the catch weapon and an area of Buffalo's passing

1639
01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 2: game that has ranked very low the last few years.

1640
01:27:47,080 --> 01:27:49,840
Speaker 3: He's gotten some catches, had some catches in OTA's where

1641
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 3: he has hit that second gear, And I'm doing a

1642
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,920
Speaker 3: double take, like, this guy has some speed to him

1643
01:27:56,000 --> 01:27:58,240
Speaker 3: once he gets going, And then with him, you wonder

1644
01:27:58,560 --> 01:28:00,400
Speaker 3: is he going to play a role on special teams

1645
01:28:00,439 --> 01:28:01,080
Speaker 3: this year as well?

1646
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:03,680
Speaker 2: Yeah? I think, oh, he's gonna be the return man.

1647
01:28:03,800 --> 01:28:07,240
Speaker 2: Mixed for sure, he's gonna be stiff competition for Nahim

1648
01:28:07,320 --> 01:28:10,360
Speaker 2: Hines Bill's mafia in nineteen eighty one, says Ed Oliver

1649
01:28:10,800 --> 01:28:13,320
Speaker 2: with Daiquon and Ford, he's gonna be dangerous and he

1650
01:28:13,400 --> 01:28:16,519
Speaker 2: is healthy. Honorable mention to Trey White. People forget he

1651
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:20,960
Speaker 2: is a top five corner. And finally, Ed says Dawson

1652
01:28:21,040 --> 01:28:23,599
Speaker 2: Knox watch out for him this season. Hey, if people

1653
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:26,559
Speaker 2: are paying attention to Kincaid, they won't be paying attention

1654
01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:29,960
Speaker 2: to him. We have an abbreviated show tomorrow as we

1655
01:28:30,040 --> 01:28:32,880
Speaker 2: give Sabers Live one of our hours for draft prep.

1656
01:28:32,960 --> 01:28:35,840
Speaker 2: The NHL drafts coming up, so we're on from two

1657
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,160
Speaker 2: to three tomorrow. Maddy and I will see you that
