1
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:10,719
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,480 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're not even

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:27,440
Speaker 1: in the credit here of normalcy. All right, it's another

5
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: week here at Bill's training camp, Saint John Fisher University,

6
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Day seven on the

7
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: practice field is in the books. Welcome to August. As

8
00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: the calendar flips boom diggity. Yeah, there's a lot to

9
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: a month with football, a lot of stuff on the

10
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 1: practice field today where we'll pass that all along to

11
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: you in due course. And obviously there is league wide

12
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,040
Speaker 1: news as well as the Shawn Watson suspension was handed

13
00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 1: down by Judge Sue Robinson in the form of six games,

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:07,440
Speaker 1: no fine, and she recently released her full decision, and

15
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:14,479
Speaker 1: we'll read you the basically her conclusion of it, which

16
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:19,119
Speaker 1: I found interesting because she was citing the fact that

17
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Watson's violations under the Personal Conduct Policy she considered post

18
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: hoc definitions, meaning the violations were drawn up as violations

19
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,840
Speaker 1: of the policy after the alleged behavior occurred. And her

20
00:01:39,920 --> 00:01:44,640
Speaker 1: argument is, how can you hold someone responsible or penalize

21
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: them heavily for conduct that was not spelled out under

22
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: the policy until after the behavior was already committed. I mean,

23
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: it seems like a lot of legal mumbo jumbo to me,

24
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:57,480
Speaker 1: and we all know, we can all see it with

25
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: our own eyes. Here's the problem. If you got to

26
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 1: spell out what Deshaun wants, and I mean, who is

27
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: who can anticipate what are they gonna do next? If

28
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:15,839
Speaker 1: you kill three people with an axe, you should get

29
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: suspended for you know, they got to spell all that out.

30
00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,960
Speaker 1: You know, Well, the problem is, here's the problem, and

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: we've talked about this, and I'm just I'm just exaggerating

32
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: to make a point. There's no hard and fast evidence.

33
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:31,400
Speaker 1: It's it's largely a he said, she said case, especially

34
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: on the civil side of this. Yeah, there were no

35
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,360
Speaker 1: criminal charges brought against him. He was not indicted by

36
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,800
Speaker 1: two grand juries. So look, I'm not a legal expert

37
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: by any means, but on the surface, he appeared to

38
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: be a weak case for the League to adjudicate and

39
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: prove because there was no evidence. It was he said,

40
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,720
Speaker 1: she said, and he said they said, Yeah, he said.

41
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,640
Speaker 1: The problem is and I get it, but you knew

42
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: it was gonna be very unsatisfying for the general pup,

43
00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: for the general fan base of the NFL, and even

44
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 1: you know, Deshaun Watson fans this this this was gonna

45
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: be very unsatisfying when it got to this point because

46
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:17,680
Speaker 1: as soon as the grand juries didn't bring charges and

47
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:24,000
Speaker 1: they said it's he had no criminal charges, it was like, well, then,

48
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:25,639
Speaker 1: you know, what are they gonna do. You know, if

49
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: he didn't commit a criminal act as disgusting as it was,

50
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: what are they gonna do with him? And he knew

51
00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: it was going to be unsatisfying for the rest of

52
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:34,960
Speaker 1: us to have all this stuff come out and then

53
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,600
Speaker 1: have him get off with you know, a six week

54
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:43,400
Speaker 1: vacation so um, and getting and finding him what like

55
00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: one percent of his total contract, Well, he loses it

56
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: because of the suspension. Two of his yeah, three hundred

57
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand dollars this year because the Browns, knowing

58
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 1: the suspension was probably coming, structured a contract where we

59
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 1: only making a million dollars in base salary this year.

60
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:06,800
Speaker 1: So by missing six games, he forfeits three hundred thirty

61
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:10,120
Speaker 1: three thousand, three hundred thirty three dollars. And that's kind

62
00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:12,440
Speaker 1: of where it lands. And I know there are a

63
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: lot of people out there that are far from satisfied

64
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 1: that justice has been served. Not that you know, the

65
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:25,119
Speaker 1: league is the law, but I think what rubs people

66
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:32,000
Speaker 1: the wrong way is For example, DeAndre Hopkins used peeds,

67
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: gets suspended for six games. Calvin Ridley bet on a

68
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: game in which he picked his own team to win.

69
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,240
Speaker 1: He loses eleven million dollars because he's suspended, suspended for

70
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,440
Speaker 1: at least the twenty twenty two season. And then you've

71
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: got Watson, who's got twenty four litigants against him, and

72
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:54,799
Speaker 1: you know, according to a New York Times article, sought

73
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: out the services of almost seventy different female massage therapists

74
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: in an eighteen month period. It's all very unsavory. But

75
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: there's no evidence. DeAndre Hopkins, there was evidence. Here's the test. Guilty.

76
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,800
Speaker 1: Calvin Ridley, did you bet on that game? Yeah? I

77
00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,159
Speaker 1: did it? Guilty. Hand down the punishment here. You don't

78
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: have any evidence. And it's the same thing like Ben

79
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: Roethlisberger when he got in trouble. There was no preponderance

80
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:26,640
Speaker 1: of evidence six games. Ezekiel Elliott, same thing, no hard

81
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: and fast evidence six games. So Sue Robinson, you can

82
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: say what you want. She's following past precedent in cases

83
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: that did not involve any hard and fast evidence. I'm

84
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:42,680
Speaker 1: not applauding her. I'm not happy with it either, but man,

85
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: oh man, I just it's tough. It's just the optics

86
00:05:47,360 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 1: are not good for a league that is trying to

87
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: purport itself as being one of female empowerment, upward mobility

88
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: for females in this league. And then you get this,

89
00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:04,040
Speaker 1: which wasn't the league's decision. It was an independent arbitrator.

90
00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: We should make that clear, but it just doesn't. It

91
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: just does it a problem true this? Um, yeah, you're

92
00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: you're right. And I know they say, hey, it's gonna

93
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,720
Speaker 1: look bad for the you know, the league. You can

94
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 1: fault the league, And really the fault is and what

95
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,680
Speaker 1: I where I'm sitting here today. The fault is that

96
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:24,200
Speaker 1: they couldn't anticipate something disagregious by one of its players

97
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: and couldn't come and therefore didn't put in a punishment

98
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,920
Speaker 1: severe enough for this kind of thing if it happened.

99
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 1: They just lacked the imagine, you know, they just lack

100
00:06:34,720 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: the imagination of seeing is something this egregious happening? Um,

101
00:06:39,320 --> 00:06:43,359
Speaker 1: And this unsavory happening, and so they didn't include it

102
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: in the CBA. So now they can't punish the guy

103
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: for it. That's the problem. It's not they didn't want to,

104
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: and Sue Robinson and her conclusion kind of slapped or

105
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,279
Speaker 1: wagged her finger at the league, so you can't. NFL

106
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: maybe a forward facing organization, but it is not necessarily

107
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: a forward looking one. Just as the NFL responded to

108
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,240
Speaker 1: violent conduct after a public outcry, so it seems the

109
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 1: NFL is responding to get another public outcry about mister

110
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: Watson's conduct. At least in the former situation, the policy

111
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 1: was changed and applied proactively. Here, the NFL is attempting

112
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: to impose a more dramatic shift in its culture without

113
00:07:20,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: the benefits of fair notice too and consistency of consequence.

114
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: Four Those in the NFL subject to the policy, so

115
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 1: they fear. She's clearly stating in her opinion that the

116
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 1: league is doing an end around or trying to do

117
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 1: an end around on Deshaun Watson by saying, hey, that's

118
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: not right, and even though it wasn't in our personal

119
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 1: conduct policy specifically in twenty twenty, it is now and

120
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: you should face the consequences. You can choose that to

121
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: be right, wrong, or indifferent. Clearly, the independent arbitrator here,

122
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,880
Speaker 1: Sue Robinson, felt that it was and nefarious is a

123
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: strong word, but a little out of hand right in

124
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: terms of what they were trying to do. It's not

125
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: that it's not that none of us think there should

126
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: be punishment, but legally can't do it because of worth

127
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: of CBA. And this CBA was done just two years

128
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: ago and they took Roger Goodell out of the loop.

129
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: What remains to be seen as if the league will

130
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:22,800
Speaker 1: appeal it. They did say that they receive the decision,

131
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:26,320
Speaker 1: they have three days to appeal. They are contemplating their

132
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: next steps, was the statement from the League office today.

133
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see. We'll know by Wednesday if they're gonna

134
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 1: appeal it or not. Right, Um, hard to predict what

135
00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They're clearly not satisfied with the suspension.

136
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:46,480
Speaker 1: They were pushing for a year or indefinite, similar to

137
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: the Calvin Ridley suspension for gambling. I don't know why

138
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:53,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna get there. I just don't. They're not gonna

139
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:54,920
Speaker 1: get to and even if they and well, here's the

140
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: problem and here's what if the league appeals, the appeal

141
00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: goes to somebody who is appointed by the commissioner, and

142
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:06,640
Speaker 1: then the commissioner's back in the saddle as the guide

143
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:12,839
Speaker 1: the soul arbitrator. Uh, yeah, the league the union won't

144
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: like that, but yeah, it's Yeah, the whole thing's unsavory.

145
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,080
Speaker 1: And it's completely unsavory. Now. Even if the league wanted

146
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 1: to suspend him forever, they couldn't get it done. Yeah,

147
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 1: you know, and yeah, all of us, you know, everybody's

148
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 1: got their own idea about how long you should be

149
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: suspended for you know whatever, and um, and whether he

150
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: should be suspended or not, or for how long and

151
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,600
Speaker 1: whatever the fine that, um, none of us are going

152
00:09:41,640 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 1: to be satisfied now, and it seems like it's going

153
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,080
Speaker 1: to be dragged on at least. Well, we'll see Wednesday.

154
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 1: It'll be interesting. What do you think that the league does.

155
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 1: Brown Do you think they just drop it and say,

156
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,440
Speaker 1: all right, let's just be done with this. They might,

157
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 1: They might. They might if they don't feel like they

158
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,040
Speaker 1: have any recourse and then an appeal is a waste

159
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,680
Speaker 1: of time. Yeah, I could see them just saying, Yeah.

160
00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: One of the things about this that Sue L. Robinson

161
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: is whether you're satisfied with her ruling or not. They

162
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:13,480
Speaker 1: brought her as a retired high level court you know, judge,

163
00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 1: she knows the law and her opinion that we you

164
00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 1: know in the report that we've just you know, we're

165
00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:26,560
Speaker 1: all reading and finding out about right now. May be

166
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: whether the league feels like it has a thumbs up

167
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: or thumbs down to go ahead and appeal her. Her

168
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:37,520
Speaker 1: arguments obviously make good sense legally, does as a league

169
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: want to draw this out and and get the pound

170
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,200
Speaker 1: of flesh, a bigger pound of flesh out of Deshaun

171
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 1: Watson than they've got. Um, we'll see, Yeah, I kind

172
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:52,280
Speaker 1: of I would kind of think they're ready to say

173
00:10:52,320 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 1: lex and that's arbitrator. Will trust her and we're gonna go. Um,

174
00:10:56,800 --> 00:11:00,600
Speaker 1: maybe that gets it put away quicker possible. What we

175
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 1: do know about this as it pertains to the Bills

176
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: is the Bills will face the Cleveland Browns this season

177
00:11:08,600 --> 00:11:11,760
Speaker 1: with Deshaun Watson in the lineup, provided he's healthy. Bills

178
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: host the Browns in Week eleven, believe it's November twentieth,

179
00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: and provided that he's healthy, Deshaun Watson will be the

180
00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:22,280
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Cleveland Browns against the Bills in

181
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 1: eleven because he'll be eligible to return to the lineup

182
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 1: in week seven, so that's where that stands. He's also

183
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:34,400
Speaker 1: able to practice right now. Suspensions like this, you're allowed

184
00:11:34,440 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 1: to practice in the preseason. Once the regular season starts,

185
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 1: the suspension is imposed, and then he can't practice or

186
00:11:40,840 --> 00:11:44,080
Speaker 1: play games for the Browns at that point for those

187
00:11:44,120 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 1: six weeks. So that's kind of where that stands. Bill's

188
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 1: training camp today. Another beautiful day out here at Saint

189
00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,400
Speaker 1: John Fisher. The weather has just been outstanding on all fronts.

190
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: Bill's got a little healthier in some places and maybe

191
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 1: a bit less healthy in some places. Today. Not practicing

192
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:05,240
Speaker 1: was Tim Settle, a new addition to the injury report

193
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:08,959
Speaker 1: due to a miner what was considered by coach McDermot

194
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: to be a minor groin injury, so he was on

195
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,080
Speaker 1: the sidelines watching practice today. Returning to the practice fold,

196
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:19,080
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins back with the team after tending to a

197
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:23,280
Speaker 1: personal matter. Micah Hyde back on a limited basis today,

198
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: didn't do any team segments of practice, but back from

199
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: that hard fall, he took going up for an interception

200
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: over the weekend and landed on his right rear and

201
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 1: hip and was out there running around. Looked like he

202
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: was moving well, but still not back in the team's

203
00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: segments of practice. And then unfortunately during practice Tommy Doyle

204
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: during teamwork left the field and was holding his side.

205
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 1: That injury is yet to be identified, but looks like

206
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: its upper body. He was kind of holding his side

207
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:00,680
Speaker 1: on the way off the practice field, walked off under

208
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: his own power, but went straight to the locker room.

209
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: So we'll see what that is in the coming days.

210
00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 1: And beyond that, it's an offensive line that really needs

211
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,679
Speaker 1: to get healthy sooner rather than later. Steve, because as

212
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,280
Speaker 1: we saw in practice today, this was a defense day.

213
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,560
Speaker 1: They dominated pass rush wise in terms of sacks there

214
00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: were about five and interceptions, of which there were four today,

215
00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: two of which came during the two minute drill segments

216
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: of practice towards the end. And the guys with the

217
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:37,440
Speaker 1: interceptions today Jaquan Johnson, Christian Benford, who's been playing well

218
00:13:37,480 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: and is getting more playing time on the field of late.

219
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: You know, the rookie Day three pick JaMarcus Ingram, undrafted rookie,

220
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,199
Speaker 1: had an interception, as did Tremaine Edmonds, so four interceptions today,

221
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 1: a handful of sacks. The offense has really had some

222
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,200
Speaker 1: difficulty just executing because the penetration upfront has been so good.

223
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:06,280
Speaker 1: But when you're missing Spencer Brown, Roger Staffold, Ryan Bates,

224
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown is still not in the team portions of practice.

225
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: A couple of days. Dion Dawkins has been going right.

226
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: Dawkins was back today. That helped, Yeah, but it has

227
00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 1: really compromised any continuity on the offensive line with the

228
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,680
Speaker 1: execution of the attack. Yeah, And not only do they

229
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: have their best players sitting around watching the guys that

230
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: are in there are shuffling in different positions they've got

231
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: they're moving them around all the time, which they do normally,

232
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 1: but more than usual. More than usual. Yeah, I mean

233
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: they're like, because they're social tackle, they're going out going

234
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: to left tackle. Now, they got this guy playing right

235
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:38,920
Speaker 1: gardens to the left guard. That. Yeah, all this kind

236
00:14:38,960 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: of stuff that's going on, and it shows up certainly

237
00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: against a defense that's got an upgraded pass rush and

238
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 1: who's starting to feel themselves a little bit. It's hard

239
00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: to execute your offense in that and they're not doing

240
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: a very good job. They're they're struggling, but you know,

241
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: Josh still throwing it pretty good. But you're right, the

242
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: penetrations getting there much quicker than they I have in

243
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: the past, And you know, I don't know. It's a

244
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:06,040
Speaker 1: combination of an upgraded pass rush and an offensive line

245
00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 1: that's a mess right now. Now, it's still early. I

246
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:10,360
Speaker 1: mean we haven't eve played a preseason game yet, so

247
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: you got three weeks of games plus a week leading

248
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: up to the very first game, more than a week

249
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: to lead up the first game. So we're a long

250
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 1: way away. And if you're going to suffer a rash

251
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:24,760
Speaker 1: of just nagging injuries, now is the time to do it.

252
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: But it's nevertheless, I think it's really tough on the

253
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:34,480
Speaker 1: offense to execute when when things are a mess up front,

254
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,400
Speaker 1: and obviously too, the offense is always behind the defense

255
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 1: on in weeks like this and the early in training camp,

256
00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: because you know, all it takes is one guy to

257
00:15:43,480 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: get a hand on a play and whether the defense

258
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: was lined upright offside doing all this, and the defense

259
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,200
Speaker 1: wins the rep, you know, So it's it's tough for

260
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:53,560
Speaker 1: the offense to look good at this point in season anyway.

261
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: Of the sacks today I have most of the guys

262
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: that had them. Shack Losson had one, Matt Milano had one,

263
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: and Oliver had one, and there were two others that

264
00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 1: I did not get the license plate number on. My

265
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: vantage point was blocked. I may have to go up

266
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: top to see better. Again. I sometimes jump up in

267
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,360
Speaker 1: the stands to get a better bird's eye view of everything,

268
00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: and I don't run the risk of having my vantage

269
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: point blocked by somebody coming in front of me. Players

270
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: kind of clogging up to kind of nice. So today

271
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 1: you and I were out there and we had to

272
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: like dodge traffic coming off the field once in a

273
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,000
Speaker 1: while with Yeah, had some action coming straight out as

274
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 1: case Keenum right up in our living room on a

275
00:16:34,840 --> 00:16:38,160
Speaker 1: scramble play Yeah and some defenders following in hot pursuit.

276
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,920
Speaker 1: I was Steve just for the record, as the people

277
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: as the as Case Keenan was making a bee line

278
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,640
Speaker 1: for us. He's about ten yards away. Steve not only

279
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: saves himself from peril, he shoves me towards the danger

280
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 1: and uh you know, fortunately me with my catlike quickness,

281
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: I was able to step out of the way. Steve

282
00:16:58,920 --> 00:17:03,040
Speaker 1: had turned was running high tailing it down. I thought

283
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:05,400
Speaker 1: about it, but I didn't. I got a little nudge there.

284
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:07,080
Speaker 1: I did not. I was just breaking down. I was

285
00:17:07,080 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: just you know, getting my pace. My elbows came both

286
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,159
Speaker 1: elbows came up and I and I was given knocking

287
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: me into There's a lot of people out here that

288
00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: needed lessons on where to run when the plays coming

289
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,280
Speaker 1: at you. You don't like turn and run away from

290
00:17:19,320 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 1: the play. You run up the field, sidelong the sideline.

291
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: You run along the sidelines in the direction of the

292
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: plates coming from So because it you know, those you

293
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: saw it still catch up to you. They cut a

294
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: swath of destruction when they come off the field. Man,

295
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: it's you gotta get out of the way. It was

296
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 1: pretty close. Siran Neil was kind of like like I heard

297
00:17:41,760 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: him fly by. Yeah, and they don't care either, man,

298
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: They just they'll run right through you. So yeah, I was.

299
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,200
Speaker 1: It took me a second, but I'll say this if

300
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 1: on film, I'll bet you I looked good because I

301
00:17:52,040 --> 00:17:54,840
Speaker 1: started breaking down about he was ten yards fifteen yards away,

302
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 1: and I knew you got an early reading. Who Yeah,

303
00:17:57,160 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 1: So I was very happy about that part of my game. Today.

304
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of punting competition today between

305
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: Matt Hawk and Matt Ariza and Steve, and I watched

306
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,359
Speaker 1: every single one of them. They each got let me see, one, two, three,

307
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: four or five each got eight punts all in succession,

308
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,479
Speaker 1: which I gotta tell you is something that most punners

309
00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:20,720
Speaker 1: don't do. Most punners don't hit eight times in a

310
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: row in a segment. You get a little leg weary.

311
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:26,840
Speaker 1: They're trying to get to six, seven, eight, alternate. Right,

312
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,879
Speaker 1: these guys did eight in a row. It's like, all right,

313
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 1: let's see what your endurance is like. UM. I would

314
00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 1: say that Arisa was the more consistent of the two

315
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: today from what I witnessed, not only in terms of

316
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:43,560
Speaker 1: distance but hang time as well. And I know you

317
00:18:43,600 --> 00:18:46,639
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this. If you've got a

318
00:18:46,720 --> 00:18:50,000
Speaker 1: young guy with a lot of sealing that he has

319
00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:53,280
Speaker 1: not yet reached, and you have a veteran and they're

320
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: relatively even in terms of consistency, you side with the

321
00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 1: upside because the veteran is probably all he's going to be,

322
00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: he should be who he should be, as improved as

323
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:10,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna get. While you know, the rookie, especially one

324
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: that hasn't had a plethora of punting experience because he

325
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:15,879
Speaker 1: went to San Diego State to be a place kicker first,

326
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 1: then became a punter after that. So he's still young

327
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,199
Speaker 1: in the position, and he he was good enough to

328
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: get drafted for it. It's easy to see side with

329
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: the upside, I would think it's easy to see his

330
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: potential still being gained and still being high end um

331
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,600
Speaker 1: and you're you're right. I mean, every once in a while,

332
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,080
Speaker 1: that guy, that guy hits one and it's a big one.

333
00:19:35,200 --> 00:19:38,159
Speaker 1: I mean yeah. And I also noticed this too. You

334
00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,119
Speaker 1: only had one punt that was under forty yards and

335
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: it was an Aussie kick, you know, an end over

336
00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:46,600
Speaker 1: end kick technique, and yeah, it looked good. But the

337
00:19:46,640 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 1: rest of him were all well over four seconds, and

338
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: uh yeah, I was. I was impressed by the fact

339
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:58,879
Speaker 1: that his whatever inconsistencies he had, the bad punts weren't

340
00:19:58,880 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: all that bad. Yeah, And that's that's crucial. And there

341
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: was no fatigue in his leg either, because his eighth

342
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,919
Speaker 1: punt was his best punt. It was the highest hanger,

343
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: best you know, best best combination of distance in hang

344
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,840
Speaker 1: time was his last punt four eight seven. On the

345
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: hang time he had two kicks over four to eight

346
00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:21,720
Speaker 1: in hang time. By my watch, Matt Hawk had only

347
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,920
Speaker 1: one uh and then he had a four to seven

348
00:20:24,960 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: one as his next best after that. So take it

349
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,199
Speaker 1: for what you will. Um, that's kind of where the

350
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:35,159
Speaker 1: punting competition is and we'll probably learn a whole lot

351
00:20:35,240 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 1: more in the preseason games, maybe more than anything else.

352
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:43,040
Speaker 1: As far as players that have impressed, and we did,

353
00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:45,879
Speaker 1: does that mean as far as players that have impressed,

354
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,359
Speaker 1: We've got a phone ringing here. As far as players, Hello,

355
00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,280
Speaker 1: anybody there are we calling? Did we not pay the

356
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: water bill? What happened? Jay Harris is jumping up and

357
00:20:55,080 --> 00:20:57,520
Speaker 1: down trying to figure out how to get that the

358
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: water bill? Um, yeah, it's just RFB. They're not hearing

359
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: it all right, Oh, I see, Well, we'll do what

360
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 1: we can. So here we are. We apologize for any

361
00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: technical difficulties and we may have experienced there while we

362
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: were taking phone calls from telemarketers in the middle of

363
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:16,600
Speaker 1: the show. I'll demand an explanation at the break. That's right,

364
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure we'll get a good one. As far

365
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: as players that impressed, though, I would say over the

366
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 1: last few days, some of the young guys that are

367
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: getting a little more time on the field due in

368
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: part to the fact that they are injured, players not

369
00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: in the lineup, or players that are not cleared for

370
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,560
Speaker 1: team segments of practice. You and I noticed a couple

371
00:21:33,600 --> 00:21:37,000
Speaker 1: of these guys. Christian Benford getting more time on the field.

372
00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: He made the most of it today with an interception

373
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: to end a two minute drill drive by the second

374
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,840
Speaker 1: team offense. The ball on fourth down goes through Khalil

375
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: Shakier's hands and Benford is right there to snatch it

376
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 1: up and make the interception, which basically ended the drive.

377
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,359
Speaker 1: Had some nice plays today and is going against some

378
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 1: top flight competition. Undrafted rookie out of UCLA, the offensive

379
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: tackle Alec Anderson. Steve and I noticed him a couple

380
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,679
Speaker 1: of days ago. Kid has good feet, mirrors well in

381
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: pass protection, pretty light on his feet when it comes

382
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: to changing direction to a counter move on the pass rush. Yeah,

383
00:22:17,640 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 1: and does okay in the run game. Um, I haven't

384
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: said a chance to evaluate him in the run game.

385
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:24,800
Speaker 1: He's getting more time on the field of late, and

386
00:22:24,840 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 1: it's doing part to the fact that there are injuries

387
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: and he's yeah, he doesn't. I'll say this too. I

388
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,080
Speaker 1: don't know if he's I don't know if he's playing outstandingly,

389
00:22:32,480 --> 00:22:34,720
Speaker 1: but he does not stand out as being bad. I mean,

390
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: you don't see his guy getting around him. You don't

391
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: see him whiffing or standing there by himself after the play,

392
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:42,679
Speaker 1: because because the guy got by him so quick, he

393
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,840
Speaker 1: does not seem out of place. And for a rookie

394
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:48,119
Speaker 1: free agent, holding his own I think would be a

395
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,960
Speaker 1: fair way to descry. I think he's doing a little

396
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: better than holding his own. But um, I'd like to

397
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,200
Speaker 1: hear a coaches you know, a coach's evaluation who yeah,

398
00:22:57,200 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: knows what he's supposed to be doing, and then also

399
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 1: has some a bit more depth of comparison to what

400
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,439
Speaker 1: you know, the other guys he's looking at. I but

401
00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:09,920
Speaker 1: you're right, I think he's exactly what you said he's

402
00:23:10,320 --> 00:23:12,440
Speaker 1: if he's big enough, and I was talking to people

403
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: about it, if you're big enough as an offensive lineman

404
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: to move your feet and get in front of whoever's there,

405
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 1: if they're a fast athlete and you can move your

406
00:23:18,880 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 1: feet good enough to get at least getting their way,

407
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,880
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. He's not one of those

408
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: guys's gonna whiff on a guy because he's got good feet.

409
00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,040
Speaker 1: That's a great place to start. And consistently, You're right, Brownie,

410
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,920
Speaker 1: he is. He is at where he is supposed to

411
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: be in battling. He doesn't you know, he doesn't have

412
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,800
Speaker 1: bad snaps. Yeah, he might have a stalemate snap, but

413
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 1: he doesn't have bad snaps. Yeah. And I think that

414
00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 1: consistency is very attractive, especially for an undraft And I'd

415
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:49,399
Speaker 1: love to see, you know, I'd love to see our

416
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:51,119
Speaker 1: offensive line. I have the five guys out there that

417
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna look for in the regular season, but in

418
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:58,480
Speaker 1: the meantime, you know, you find guys like Alec Anderson

419
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 1: who you may have a chance to stick around and

420
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 1: hang in there. As far as the two minute drill

421
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 1: drives went, the first team offense finished with a touchdown

422
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,600
Speaker 1: with eight seconds left on the clock. Josh Allen gets

423
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: them down to the goal line on a beautiful scene

424
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: pass to Dawson Knox. It gets marked at the two,

425
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: and then on the very next play, Alan hits Diggs

426
00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:22,240
Speaker 1: on an inside route for a touchdown to end the

427
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: drive with a touchdown eight seconds left on the clock.

428
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,760
Speaker 1: Second unit got the ball at midfield with one oh

429
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:30,679
Speaker 1: five left on the clock. Don't know if they had

430
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: any timeouts. We were not in the huddle. That drive ended,

431
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:38,679
Speaker 1: as I said earlier, on a fourth and one at

432
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:41,760
Speaker 1: the twenty four yard line case, Keenom's passed to Khalil

433
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: Shakier goes through his hands and into the waiting arms

434
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: of Christian Benford, who then fell to the ground with

435
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: the interception with twenty two seconds left in that drive.

436
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,840
Speaker 1: The third unit did not get much to work with.

437
00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 1: They got thirty seconds on the clock and they were

438
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,240
Speaker 1: at their own forty to start the drive five and

439
00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:05,560
Speaker 1: after an offside penalty by the defense, there was a

440
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:11,639
Speaker 1: sack and then Matt Barkley was intercepted with a ball

441
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: laid back across the field. JaMarcus Ingram picked off the pass.

442
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:19,439
Speaker 1: They ran two more plays just to get guys some reps,

443
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: but those were both batted passes, so that was a

444
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:25,040
Speaker 1: tough one. Then the offense came out one more time

445
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,600
Speaker 1: and that's when Tremaine Edmonds had the interception. So a

446
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:34,160
Speaker 1: rough on the train. On the Tremaine Edmonds interception, he's

447
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:37,720
Speaker 1: going to digs who was you know, had was double

448
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,119
Speaker 1: covered and then Tremaine Edmonds dropping out was a third guy, Josh.

449
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 1: I think Josh decided pre snap he's gonna see if

450
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:45,200
Speaker 1: he'd get the ball to dis Steph. I think Steph

451
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: had a quiet day because he didn't get very It

452
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,320
Speaker 1: seemed like he didn't get targeted at all except on

453
00:25:49,359 --> 00:25:52,000
Speaker 1: that little slant touchdown that they got to dry before that.

454
00:25:53,119 --> 00:25:54,800
Speaker 1: So Josh was trying to make an effort to get

455
00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,040
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs the ball and kind of stared him down.

456
00:25:57,640 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 1: And that's why Tremaine Edmonds was in the spot to

457
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:02,480
Speaker 1: get that interception. He was just watching where Josh was looking,

458
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: and Josh was going to dig no matter what. You know.

459
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,040
Speaker 1: A couple of minors scraps in practice today. Good stuff there.

460
00:26:11,240 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin and saran Neil, they locked up with each other. Yeah,

461
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: and that was after the couple of swings and missus.

462
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 1: The rest of the people came in and then it

463
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,040
Speaker 1: just turned into a giant mosh pit and those two

464
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:29,120
Speaker 1: left the scene. Yeah, Tavon Austin and Saran Neil were

465
00:26:29,240 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 1: like the the little match stick that sparked a little fire, right,

466
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,680
Speaker 1: and then they threw the match stick into the trash

467
00:26:38,160 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: with the we're out of here and everything else. Burned up,

468
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,640
Speaker 1: they said, went back and watched the world burn. After

469
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: they had had their little scuffle, the guys that went

470
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 1: in to break it up, it turned into you know,

471
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:52,840
Speaker 1: and then there was one later It was I didn't

472
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:55,199
Speaker 1: get the numbers on that because the pile was in

473
00:26:55,240 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 1: there rather quickly. But there was another one later in

474
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 1: practice as well. There was also quite possibly a football

475
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: follies kind of play today, So great one. Josh Allen

476
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:09,560
Speaker 1: throws a pass to the right side of the field.

477
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,560
Speaker 1: It's tipped. I think he was trying to get it

478
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: to Khalil Shakir, so it's tipped by an offensive player.

479
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: Then it's tipped by a defensive player. It's still in

480
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,480
Speaker 1: the air, and who comes down with a Dion Dawkins

481
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:25,240
Speaker 1: who races one hand to the end zone one hands it,

482
00:27:25,320 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 1: scoops it and brings it to his body. And it

483
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:31,840
Speaker 1: was Dion high stepping the last and the crowd absolutely

484
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:33,800
Speaker 1: ate it up. Anytime he got a three hundred pound

485
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 1: or running anywhere with a football, it's entertainment for the roof.

486
00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: If I was he was good, he you know, he

487
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,879
Speaker 1: kind of did a flip into the end. Yeah, he was.

488
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: I was disappointed in the celebrate. If I'm doing that

489
00:27:44,560 --> 00:27:47,600
Speaker 1: in training camp, I'm embarrassing myself and everybody at the

490
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:51,240
Speaker 1: phrase with my celebration. You're going completely over the top,

491
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: absolutely going, Yes, fully over the top. But he was good.

492
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,840
Speaker 1: He's probably tired. Yeah, that was a long run for him.

493
00:27:58,920 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 1: It was it was like sixty five yard run. Noticed

494
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 1: Oj Howard a little more today in the passing game,

495
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 1: made some nice plays. Josh hit him late across the middle.

496
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,679
Speaker 1: That was a good thirty forty yard gainer, put him

497
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: in the red zone where they eventually scored late on

498
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 1: that drive. So's he's made a couple more plays the

499
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: last couple of days. It's encouraging to see that as

500
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:27,880
Speaker 1: he's kind of settling into this offense. Yeah, he's he's

501
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:31,840
Speaker 1: an unknown, he is. He's two years are removed from

502
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: an Achilles tear. That's a hard thing to come back from,

503
00:28:36,720 --> 00:28:40,360
Speaker 1: especially at this level. He's a very gifted athlete and

504
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,520
Speaker 1: he's and he's probably looking to have a fresh start

505
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,480
Speaker 1: and has some high hopes for what he can contribute

506
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: this year, and so does the team. But the guy's

507
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: a physical specimen and he's thick, you know, for a

508
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: guy who's I mean, he's just he's a big dude.

509
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 1: For those of you who been out to training camp,

510
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about. So he's one of

511
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: those guys that looks like he's you know, he's full potential.

512
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,880
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, I don't know what to expect

513
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 1: from him because he had a hard time in Tampa

514
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 1: Bay after being a extremely high draft pick and it

515
00:29:14,560 --> 00:29:16,640
Speaker 1: just didn't work out for him there for for whatever reason,

516
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: He's got a World championship as a member of that team. Yeah,

517
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: but you know it's he's he's come a long way

518
00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: from being a top ten pick in the NFL draft.

519
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: Speaking of Achilles, we saw Ike Butcker at practice and

520
00:29:32,520 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: then walking back to the locker room, and you know,

521
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: we basically told him's good to see you walking out here.

522
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:40,800
Speaker 1: You know, after the Achilles injury late last season, he's

523
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: still on the long road back from that, but it's

524
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 1: good to see him up and around. You know, he

525
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: was pushing his one leg around on a cart for

526
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: a long time. Yeah, and we asked him how he's doing.

527
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:55,480
Speaker 1: He's like, well, I'm walking, So that's a plus. Wanted

528
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: to pass along the Twitter question for you today. What

529
00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: will be the bigg benefit to the Bills defensive backfield

530
00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two. Will it be a fully healthy

531
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:11,040
Speaker 1: tradevious white, better pass rush from the D line, position, depth,

537
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:29,720

Speaker 1: and day seven is in the books. The first day

543
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: of August twenty twenty two. Another strong day for the defense,

544
00:31:04,160 --> 00:31:07,239
Speaker 1: although they were going against an offensive line that has

545
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: been shorthanded and the supply line got a little shorter

546
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 1: with Tommy Doyle suffering an injury in practice today. There

547
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 1: to take advantage, though, was a guy by the name

548
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,959
Speaker 1: of Ed Oliver who had another sack today and has

549
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 1: looked very strong in old line D line one on

550
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: one pass rush drills. Edge spoke to the media after

551
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: arriving at his press conference, Steve on a motorized two

552
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,480
Speaker 1: wheel scooter. We're gonna talk about that after. In the meantime.

553
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: Here is Bill's defensive tackle, Ed Oliver. I think Da

554
00:31:38,720 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: Kuan showed up with a school and now online. You

555
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 1: know what, I need a school to sell. I just

556
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: went and got one, and uh, that would't been reliable.

557
00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:49,200
Speaker 1: They had a couple of problem with by the way,

558
00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:51,360
Speaker 1: and they had a couple problem with me. I'm still

559
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 1: rolling strong, so yeah, mm seg wait, come on, come out,

560
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 1: oh Deathnie think ye that? Yeah, just just feeling comfortable.

561
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680
Speaker 1: Get you got my body back healthy, you know, Jay

562
00:32:13,880 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: playing free, playing comfortable, you know? So it really I

563
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: say so to be honest, it is cheating. When we're

564
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,520
Speaker 1: on the same side, it's a definitely a win. But

565
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: when we I think, when we on oposit side from

566
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: each other, it's like it's even better. Like I know,

567
00:32:31,760 --> 00:32:34,080
Speaker 1: Mit said, on the same side of like you gotta

568
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: make sure you take care of them. But when we

569
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: on opposite side, it's like which one do you take

570
00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: care of? So either way it's fine with me specifically. Huh.

571
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:50,480
Speaker 1: I mean that that feel good, like to have a

572
00:32:50,520 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: guy of that caliber who've been in the league and

573
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,120
Speaker 1: have so many stripes to be like, yeah, I got

Speaker 1: lot to meet you know, and just help me as

580
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: far as like confidence wise, and like knowing that I

581
00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:22,000
Speaker 1: can count on him, he can count on me bad yo. Yeah.

582
00:33:22,040 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: And not only don't get me wrong, not only Vaughn,

583
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:28,280
Speaker 1: but like like Greg and his growth and like feel

584
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,840
Speaker 1: being back and they kwan and like all us rushing

585
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,680
Speaker 1: together and just get in AJ just all us rushing

586
00:33:33,720 --> 00:33:36,080
Speaker 1: together and getting a feel like it's not just Varn,

587
00:33:36,240 --> 00:33:38,160
Speaker 1: Varn can only do so much, but just us as

588
00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 1: a union, just coming together and just rushing. It don't

589
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: matter who's winning, but it's everybody in position. Is everybody

590
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: ready to make each other right. And that's the thing

591
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,560
Speaker 1: this camp that's really been standing out, Like so what

592
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:51,080
Speaker 1: the one guy's winning this it's all four of us winning.

593
00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: It don't matter how you look at. Everybody winning. So

594
00:33:53,880 --> 00:34:02,280
Speaker 1: that's just been a big thing. Yeah, back, we don't

595
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl, so I mean, you know, like

596
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: it you always gotta strive for something, like being number

597
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: one is good and we want to repeat. But at

598
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,720
Speaker 1: the same time, we got a like a championship mindset,

599
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,440
Speaker 1: like we're trying to go get something. We're gonna trying

600
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,920
Speaker 1: to earn the right to go playing a game or

601
00:34:17,960 --> 00:34:21,640
Speaker 1: that magnitude, you know, so just being able to play

602
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: good late in games, uh, late in the year, playing good,

603
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:27,840
Speaker 1: having everybody healthy. Uh, it's a lot of things that

604
00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,520
Speaker 1: go into having a good defense and just being number

605
00:34:30,560 --> 00:34:40,919
Speaker 1: one and not enough, you know, because you gotta find

606
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:43,680
Speaker 1: a way. A lot of these teams are evenly matched.

607
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:47,120
Speaker 1: Um I could think last year or like four teams

608
00:34:47,160 --> 00:34:49,480
Speaker 1: lost by touchdown in the second round of the playoffs

609
00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 1: last year, Like it's so close that like you just

610
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: gotta find a way, Like it's nothing really separating these

611
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: teams besides a player two, like literally a player or

612
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: two and separating these games because these teams are so

613
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,719
Speaker 1: like evenly Matt, So like you just got to find

614
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,879
Speaker 1: a way, whether that be out here when it gets

615
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,279
Speaker 1: hot and pushing all the way through, or when you're

616
00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:10,640
Speaker 1: back in Buffalo even though it's cold, finding a way,

617
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:17,759
Speaker 1: just finding a way. What do you think? I don't

618
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 1: necessarily care for him, but if the league mandated, I

619
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 1: mean I wear what they do kind of aggravate me.

620
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: How they just heavy? I mean they just make it heavy.

621
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,239
Speaker 1: It makes I don't know it heavy. I like the

622
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,760
Speaker 1: way my hand and field without it. I've been playing

623
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: without it for this No, I just don't like it

624
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: about my head. They s Huh, you've been in the

625
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,680
Speaker 1: backfield a lot, su burned through eight days. Do you

626
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: feel like you've added to your personal moves? It's like, uh,

627
00:35:51,280 --> 00:35:53,760
Speaker 1: just just tighten them up, making me and more precise

628
00:35:53,800 --> 00:35:56,319
Speaker 1: with my hands, more precise with my feetwork, and uh,

629
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: just rushing together with other guys. You know, we got

630
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: a good feel for each other right now. Just carrying

631
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 1: that over to the season's gonna be key. Von being here.

632
00:36:04,719 --> 00:36:07,280
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you're you. You gotta be you. Aaron

633
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,680
Speaker 1: donald Is, He's got his own game. But have you

634
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:14,240
Speaker 1: watched the Rams? Any video of the Rams last season?

635
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 1: Just to see ye and Dinald and Buy and the

636
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:20,720
Speaker 1: other rams work together. Yeah, I noticed they was russtional

637
00:36:20,760 --> 00:36:23,359
Speaker 1: iercise each other, and I mean they were just killing people,

638
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:26,359
Speaker 1: you know. And uh as far as as Adi goes,

639
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,560
Speaker 1: Ad has his own game. He's a smaller twitcher guy, Like,

640
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:31,960
Speaker 1: of course I'm gonna watch his stuff, but his game

641
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,719
Speaker 1: is more so twitch in hands and that's just I mean,

642
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,560
Speaker 1: he's just on another level with that. So I can't

643
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:41,040
Speaker 1: say enough about that guy. How does it help not

644
00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,200
Speaker 1: just you, but the entire defensive minds confidence? Like guy

645
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 1: like von Miller comes in and he's singing your praises

646
00:36:47,719 --> 00:36:52,399
Speaker 1: already on the type of players he gets. I mean,

647
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:57,400
Speaker 1: oh man, it just right now, vond And I know

648
00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 1: Von Miller's Von Miller, but at the same time, mother

649
00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: kind of like he didn't volved until like my brother,

650
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So like I don't look

651
00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 1: at Vaughan as like how the media and Mike portray

652
00:37:06,440 --> 00:37:09,160
Speaker 1: Vaughn as two times Super Bowl run. I look at

653
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,279
Speaker 1: Vaughan as the goofy Vaughan that I go in the

654
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,239
Speaker 1: locker room and chill with it, you know, hang out

655
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:15,640
Speaker 1: with every day. So it's kind of like at first

656
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:17,360
Speaker 1: it would kind of man. We got Varne here, but

657
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: now he most so like my brother didn't Von Miller

658
00:37:20,280 --> 00:37:27,319
Speaker 1: like that Vaughan was transition to us. Probably I say

659
00:37:27,320 --> 00:37:31,120
Speaker 1: probably like discount like probably we've probably been getting closer,

660
00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 1: like during the walk through and in the afternoon to

661
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:35,200
Speaker 1: walk through, probably like when I really got to see

662
00:37:35,239 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 1: like who Vaughn is and like he really kind of

663
00:37:37,400 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: just opened up and just talking more. And Vaughn like

664
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:41,359
Speaker 1: a smooth dude. He's really a cool dude here good.

665
00:37:41,560 --> 00:37:46,000
Speaker 1: He a fun time to be around personality wise that

666
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,799
Speaker 1: you didn't well, yeah, like you think like he wanted

667
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:51,919
Speaker 1: two super Bowl. He could act however he want to act.

668
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:53,719
Speaker 1: But he really like a down to every guy. He

669
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:56,360
Speaker 1: talked to anybody. I mean, Varna just Vaughn, and he

670
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: not scared to be who he really is. So vas Vaughn.

671
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,920
Speaker 1: You know, it's like going for year one to year

672
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:04,799
Speaker 1: two for yourself, what have you seen from Greg Rouche

673
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: going from year one to year children? Just just the growth,

674
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: Like I was watching him on Instagram. He was posting

675
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: workouts and I can tell that he was like serious about,

676
00:38:14,200 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: you know, his craft, and just following him through the

677
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,440
Speaker 1: off season and seeing how he came back in shape,

678
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: ready to go, you know, and this him coming into

679
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: his own set, like him opening up more and talking

680
00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:26,840
Speaker 1: more and like, you know, playing around, joking around a

681
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: little bit more. Just just feeling comfortable where he's at.

682
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:31,719
Speaker 1: You could just tell, you know, you get older and

683
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: you know you just you just open up more. And

684
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips's back. Just what do you think of what

685
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 1: you're seen from him? Hey, I know, I think the

686
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:42,319
Speaker 1: first padded practice, Jew was on fire. I mean, just

687
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,040
Speaker 1: that's what we need out of him, just him just

688
00:38:45,080 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: to be a dominating for us. That I mean, talk

689
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,160
Speaker 1: about a guy who would just bullet somebody like we

690
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 1: need that. And that's exactly what we're getting out of

691
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,399
Speaker 1: him right now. And I mean, I just can't say

692
00:38:54,480 --> 00:39:01,879
Speaker 1: enough about him. This Frank camp so far intensified good

693
00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:06,200
Speaker 1: training camps. H I wouldn't say it's more intensified. I

694
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:08,800
Speaker 1: just to be honest, I'm having the most fun in

695
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 1: the training camp out in the head just making plays,

696
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: flying around, just hanging out with the guys, everybody making plays,

697
00:39:14,040 --> 00:39:16,239
Speaker 1: not just you celebrating with the guy. You know what

698
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:18,600
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Ron make a good rush, Like yeah, I know,

699
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:20,239
Speaker 1: you'd have got it there. I make a good rush,

700
00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,359
Speaker 1: y'all you got him there, feel make a good rush y'all,

701
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 1: you'd have got him now, you know, just knowing and understanding,

702
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 1: like and not just Faring good or Ed Good or

703
00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,120
Speaker 1: Jordan Good or Daycorn Good or uh gread good, U

704
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 1: Boogie good. Everybody good. So it's been fun like to

705
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,440
Speaker 1: just be around and like see the different guys making plays. Brandon,

706
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:40,880
Speaker 1: Brian good, the young guys good. Like everybody's making plays.

707
00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: So that makes it makes that they go by faster,

708
00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:47,600
Speaker 1: keeps the energy high. I mean, just d line right now.

709
00:39:47,760 --> 00:39:52,759
Speaker 1: It's special as it was happening when you were had

710
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,319
Speaker 1: all those callback sicks, Like now that you look at

711
00:39:55,360 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: those a year later, what are you able to take

712
00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 1: from those moments where you were really close and you

713
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:06,000
Speaker 1: know now? Uh like, I try not to think about that.

714
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: I just I just want to go out there and

715
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:09,560
Speaker 1: play free. And if the sad get card back, oh

716
00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:11,600
Speaker 1: where That's why I mean you and that as you

717
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 1: can do about it, just go get another one, I guess.

718
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:17,280
Speaker 1: Oh well, sure, I say you down for a brief

719
00:40:17,280 --> 00:40:18,840
Speaker 1: moment after a play when you got in the backfield.

720
00:40:18,840 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 1: Everything good, all right, that's it. Oliver addressing the media

721
00:40:24,840 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: after a practice today, he said, in part, this defensive

722
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:32,719
Speaker 1: line is special of Jordan, full of Jordan Phillips. He said,

723
00:40:33,400 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 1: Jordan is a bully up front. Yeah, if they've pads

724
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:40,320
Speaker 1: came on, he said, Jordan took off and started playing.

725
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:42,680
Speaker 1: I mean that he was in mid season form. Right,

726
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,239
Speaker 1: there's first dam pads and uh, it's good to hear.

727
00:40:45,280 --> 00:40:47,040
Speaker 1: And we all knew that it's going to be a

728
00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:49,800
Speaker 1: very different defensive line. And you know, for those of

729
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:51,880
Speaker 1: us who don't know the ins and outs of who's

730
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:56,120
Speaker 1: supposed to rush where. Um, I think most people who

731
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,520
Speaker 1: watched this team expect an uptick, a significant uptick production

732
00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,960
Speaker 1: up front, less time for the quarterback to throw more

733
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,319
Speaker 1: sacks and theoretically more turnovers and we'll see. Yeah, Ed

734
00:41:11,360 --> 00:41:14,320
Speaker 1: seems to be pretty dang happy. I found it interesting

735
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 1: his characterization of because von Miller has flipped to different

736
00:41:18,880 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 1: sides of the formation with Greg Rousseau, and sometimes he's

737
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,239
Speaker 1: lined up right next to it, Oliver, and sometimes he's

738
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: on the other side of the formation and he's you know,

739
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 1: a position away from him, and some people are like,

740
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:34,960
Speaker 1: oh wow, must be a major headache. For opposing offenses

741
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 1: when you have those two guys next to each other.

742
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 1: Ed actually likes it better when he's on the other side,

743
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:43,000
Speaker 1: because now you have to kind of divide and conquer

744
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,919
Speaker 1: instead of sliding all your protection to those two guys.

745
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,680
Speaker 1: Now you've got to kind of divide and conquer and

746
00:41:47,719 --> 00:41:50,279
Speaker 1: come up with an answer, which he thinks for the

747
00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 1: opponent is harder. Exactly. There's more space, you know. I mean,

748
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,279
Speaker 1: Van's gonna get some attention, and they've only got so

749
00:41:56,360 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: much attention they can give without going thin on the

750
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: back side of where on is that and if? And

751
00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: that's yeah, and Ed feels it already and makes good

752
00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:06,840
Speaker 1: sense that what happens when the slide the line. What

753
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 1: happens is what they mean is that every both guards

754
00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,840
Speaker 1: and the center slide towards one of the other tackles,

755
00:42:13,360 --> 00:42:15,520
Speaker 1: and that leaves the other the off tackle, the one

756
00:42:15,560 --> 00:42:18,840
Speaker 1: that the protection slides away from, kind of on an island,

757
00:42:19,480 --> 00:42:22,360
Speaker 1: depending on what front they're getting, when those two defensive

758
00:42:22,360 --> 00:42:26,120
Speaker 1: tackles in their alignment, they'll slide that way and leave

759
00:42:26,239 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: one tackle by himself. As far as offensive linemenercle, Now

760
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,160
Speaker 1: you can always, you know, throw a tight end over there,

761
00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 1: or chip that tackles man with a back coming out

762
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:38,600
Speaker 1: as well. But the four offensive linemen slide to where

763
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: the three defensive linemen are and then they kind of

764
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: zone it off and try and hold those three guys

765
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:47,040
Speaker 1: at bay and pick up any stragglers if they can

766
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:52,640
Speaker 1: as well. So you can imagine when you're playing a

767
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:57,360
Speaker 1: three technique, which is outside on the outside shoulder of

768
00:42:57,360 --> 00:43:01,080
Speaker 1: a guard, and that guard in the center slide away

769
00:43:01,160 --> 00:43:04,040
Speaker 1: from you or want to slide away from you. They're

770
00:43:04,080 --> 00:43:06,520
Speaker 1: just it opens up a ton of space inside and

771
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:10,440
Speaker 1: notoriously rushing from a defensive tackle spot like Ed Oliver

772
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:14,680
Speaker 1: and Aaron Donald do and those defensive tackles do, getting

773
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 1: space is like wow, It's like taking a breath of

774
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: fresh air. Those guys don't get to work in too

775
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 1: much space, and that affords it when you got a

776
00:43:20,840 --> 00:43:22,840
Speaker 1: guy like Vaughan away from you rather than on the

777
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 1: same side, even though he's a tremendous player. It'd be

778
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:28,360
Speaker 1: interesting to see how they choose to deploy von and

779
00:43:28,440 --> 00:43:30,239
Speaker 1: move them around. Do they move them around a lot.

780
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: It's a little depend on the opponent. It'll be interesting

781
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,480
Speaker 1: to see. We do have to take a break here,

782
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,480
Speaker 1: when we come back, we'll take a quick whip around

783
00:43:39,520 --> 00:43:42,560
Speaker 1: the league. The Kansas City Chiefs have their number one

784
00:43:42,600 --> 00:43:45,640
Speaker 1: pass protector coming into camp after a dispute about the

785
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: franchise tag. We'll tell you what's going on there and

786
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,840
Speaker 1: which NFL punter has struck it rich. He's in the

787
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 1: AFC East. We'll tell you who when we return here

788
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: on one Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo

789
00:43:57,600 --> 00:44:15,840
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. It's summer and Bill's head coach Sean McDermott

790
00:44:15,880 --> 00:44:19,400
Speaker 1: wants us all thinking about sun defense. Coach is passionate

791
00:44:19,400 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 1: about skin cancer preventation as it runs in his family,

792
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:26,000
Speaker 1: and he takes sun protection very seriously. Most importantly, of course,

793
00:44:26,200 --> 00:44:29,920
Speaker 1: is wearing sunscreen. Right now, you can stop by your

794
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,240
Speaker 1: local wagments for all of your sun protection needs. Wegmans

795
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 1: will donate one dollar where every Wegman's sunscreen product sold

796
00:44:37,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: through August thirty first in their Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse stores.

797
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: It's a great way to protect your family, help the

798
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:48,080
Speaker 1: fight against skin cancer, and think sun defense. Like Bill's

799
00:44:48,080 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott, if you're coming down to training camp,

800
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:55,360
Speaker 1: there will be a sunscreen booth to get completely covered

801
00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:59,400
Speaker 1: and protected while you're standing out here watching practice with

802
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:03,280
Speaker 1: their a shade tree to be had near the grass

803
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:07,040
Speaker 1: practice field. So make sure you it's hot, cover up,

804
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: it's so hot. Some NFL news and notes Steve for you. Okay,

805
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: all right, First and foremost, we know Chandler Jones was

806
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,960
Speaker 1: one of the two big free agent signees of the

807
00:45:20,040 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. He and Devanta Well, DeVante Adams was

808
00:45:23,239 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: a trade, not a signing, but Chandler Jones one of

809
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,120
Speaker 1: the biggest free agent signings for the Raiders this offseason.

810
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:32,759
Speaker 1: He has missed the first four practices of training camp

811
00:45:32,760 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 1: with an undisclosed ailment. But now, according to reports from

812
00:45:38,400 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 1: NFL Network, there is no concern or anything to really

813
00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:43,840
Speaker 1: worry about with Chandler Jones, So it must be a

814
00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 1: minor ailment. But he has missed four practices. I mean

815
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,479
Speaker 1: that's not nothing. Well, I know it's early, so it'll

816
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:52,959
Speaker 1: be nothing. If the ghost comes to four practices, it'll

817
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,640
Speaker 1: be all forgotten. Right, So yeah, it's so early, yeah

818
00:45:56,760 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 1: you everything? Yeah, yeah, every rep remember what it was

819
00:46:00,560 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 1: like would be a young player in the league. If

820
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 1: you feel like every single rep is gonna make or

821
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,440
Speaker 1: break your entire career. You really feel like that for

822
00:46:07,520 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: our practice is oh my god, Oh my gosh, I

823
00:46:09,440 --> 00:46:11,840
Speaker 1: took a bad rep. I dropped that ball. I'm I

824
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:14,400
Speaker 1: don't know why what I'm doing here, you know, And

825
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,279
Speaker 1: then you can't make one catch on an ice sot

826
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:19,640
Speaker 1: quick kneasy slam. It's like, oh gosh, I'm gonna be

827
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:24,799
Speaker 1: all pro, you know, gosh. It is such a thrill ride.

828
00:46:24,840 --> 00:46:27,759
Speaker 1: And and believe me, I've said this a ton, and

829
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:31,200
Speaker 1: it's really true. You believe that they're gonna cut you

830
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:33,879
Speaker 1: before you can even get off the field, and then

831
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,040
Speaker 1: you believe that they're gonna offer you a contract extension

832
00:46:38,360 --> 00:46:42,120
Speaker 1: the first chance they get. I know you already Kietta

833
00:46:42,320 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: on three. You know, we'd like to give you ten

834
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,880
Speaker 1: percent of the team. You're just such an outstanding you know.

835
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: It's one of those you just ride that roller coach

836
00:46:50,239 --> 00:46:53,360
Speaker 1: and every team everything you tell yourself, you just really believe.

837
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:57,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's really it's just oh, it's exhausting. It's

838
00:46:57,520 --> 00:47:01,240
Speaker 1: exhausting to go from high highs to low so quickly.

839
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:07,920
Speaker 1: Buried beneath the Deshaun Watson suspension announcement, Orlando Brown, the

840
00:47:08,040 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 1: left tackle the Kansas City Chiefs, as we know, has

841
00:47:10,600 --> 00:47:15,600
Speaker 1: not been at Chiefs training camp or he had a

842
00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:19,120
Speaker 1: contract dispute. He had been franchise tagged. They could not

843
00:47:19,200 --> 00:47:22,319
Speaker 1: agree on a long term contract. He did not want

844
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 1: to sign the franchise tag, threatened to not come to

845
00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:28,399
Speaker 1: training camp. But now it looks like he is going

846
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:32,960
Speaker 1: to play under the franchise tag designation. Here in twenty

847
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,480
Speaker 1: twenty two, he had not reported to camp seeking a

848
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: new contract. But now he is on board. He's in camp,

849
00:47:41,680 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 1: and it looks like forward they go, and they'll have

850
00:47:44,480 --> 00:47:46,720
Speaker 1: to figure out a long term agreement at some later

851
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,280
Speaker 1: point in time, because you're obviously passed the July fifteenth

852
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:51,839
Speaker 1: deadline while he's on the tag to reach a long

853
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,520
Speaker 1: term agreement. So we got to play on the tag

854
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,520
Speaker 1: this year free agent again next year. Do they get

855
00:47:56,520 --> 00:47:59,279
Speaker 1: a contract agreement done with him between the end of

856
00:47:59,280 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: the season and the start of free agency. That is

857
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,800
Speaker 1: what we have to keep an eye on. And then

858
00:48:05,080 --> 00:48:09,239
Speaker 1: Steve punters are people too. They deserve to make a

859
00:48:09,239 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 1: living just like everybody else in the NFL, and Jake Bailey,

860
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:15,479
Speaker 1: the punter for the New England Patriots, will be doing

861
00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:18,840
Speaker 1: that to the tune of a four year, thirteen and

862
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:23,120
Speaker 1: a half million dollar contract, which includes six and a

863
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 1: half million signing bonus, so about half of it guaranteed.

864
00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:34,160
Speaker 1: Nice little contract for the Patriots punter. Very nice, right,

865
00:48:34,239 --> 00:48:36,320
Speaker 1: good for him. I mean he was a twenty nineteen

866
00:48:36,400 --> 00:48:41,160
Speaker 1: draft pick. It's cashed in. Yeah, that's it's not easy,

867
00:48:41,280 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: but I like we had, you know, gonna have Taron

868
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,319
Speaker 1: Johnson on the show at two, and he's another one.

869
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:49,680
Speaker 1: You know, he's one of those guys you'd like to

870
00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,759
Speaker 1: see get second contracts. They did not get one done

871
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 1: for Levi Wallace this last offseason. They did for Taryn

872
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,280
Speaker 1: john did for tarn Johnson, they did for Matt Milano.

873
00:48:59,520 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 1: There's been gys like that. We know the story, but

874
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:07,560
Speaker 1: it's I think it is and this point, at this

875
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: point in history, the NFL wasn't this way when I

876
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:15,160
Speaker 1: was playing. That second contract is an enormous compliment to

877
00:49:15,239 --> 00:49:17,120
Speaker 1: what you've done in your first few years in the league,

878
00:49:17,600 --> 00:49:20,759
Speaker 1: because notoriously, it's a big contracting for a punter, that

879
00:49:20,840 --> 00:49:25,920
Speaker 1: is a big contract. That congratulations, it's it's something that

880
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 1: young players aspire to and to see him get it,

881
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: it's easy to say, well, this guy, you know, like

882
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:33,480
Speaker 1: Deebo Samue, all these guys signing these deals and Tarn

883
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,000
Speaker 1: Johnson and Matt Malone same thing. It's life changing, and

884
00:49:36,239 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: forget that. It is absolutely life changing for these guys

885
00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:41,680
Speaker 1: and bless their hearts, they deserve it. I guess it

886
00:49:41,800 --> 00:49:44,080
Speaker 1: is side for us to step aside for a break here,

887
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 1: but as Steve mentioned, when we return, we will have

888
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 1: one Arren Johnson joining us here for the second hour

889
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,759
Speaker 1: of the show. Buffalo is Nickel cornerback talks about how

890
00:49:53,800 --> 00:49:56,120
Speaker 1: things are going on the field with the defense and

891
00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:00,279
Speaker 1: a pretty momentous occasion happening for him off the field

892
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:03,759
Speaker 1: this offseason. Terren Johnson, come on your way next here

893
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:05,759
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live, presented by Collid of Health, It's

894
00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:25,680
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been

895
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,000
Speaker 1: all over the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind

896
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: of a dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp.

897
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:41,960
Speaker 1: We're not even in the strated beer of normalcy. Welcome

898
00:50:41,960 --> 00:50:44,080
Speaker 1: back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasking with

899
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: you from training camp at St. John Fisher University and

900
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:51,560
Speaker 1: please to be joined now by Bill's cornerback tarn Johnson.

901
00:50:52,080 --> 00:50:55,240
Speaker 1: He of the number seven. Now after the number change

902
00:50:55,280 --> 00:50:57,920
Speaker 1: from last year, people at the training camp here had

903
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: to do a little little double check of the roster

904
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:02,319
Speaker 1: and make sure they had the right guy. I mean,

905
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: we've seen you long enough, we know how you run, right,

906
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:07,000
Speaker 1: so I can identify you just by your gate. But uh,

907
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,200
Speaker 1: why don't we start there? Why? What? What? What made

908
00:51:10,200 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 1: you move to seven? Oh? Well, I was seven when

909
00:51:13,480 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 1: I was in high school. Okay, I kind of just

910
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,399
Speaker 1: wanted to get back to that number. And I just

911
00:51:18,520 --> 00:51:20,359
Speaker 1: felt like it was an opportunity, you know. I mean,

912
00:51:21,760 --> 00:51:23,759
Speaker 1: the whole time I'm watching the NFL, you never get

913
00:51:23,760 --> 00:51:26,680
Speaker 1: to see the skill guys with single digits, and I'm

914
00:51:26,760 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: in the NFL at that time, and I thought, I'll

915
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,719
Speaker 1: always be cool to have a single digits for I

916
00:51:32,719 --> 00:51:34,400
Speaker 1: thought about this when I was playing too. It's a

917
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,719
Speaker 1: it's kind of you wearing your high school jersey number.

918
00:51:36,719 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: It's kind of a gift to your school, right because

919
00:51:39,680 --> 00:51:41,960
Speaker 1: the kids who follow you at that school, you know,

920
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:44,200
Speaker 1: you're kind of legendary. There is is as every NFL

921
00:51:44,280 --> 00:51:46,040
Speaker 1: player is at his high school. But to see you

922
00:51:46,080 --> 00:51:50,200
Speaker 1: seeing wearing that same number in the NFL, it carries

923
00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,400
Speaker 1: weight for those kids who follow you as I right,

924
00:51:52,520 --> 00:51:55,520
Speaker 1: Oh for sure, for sure, you know it. I mean

925
00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:56,960
Speaker 1: it's not too much of a big deal. You know

926
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,440
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I mean, I'm gonna be playing the

927
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:04,759
Speaker 1: way I'm playing. You know what I'm saying. Yea, so exactly,

928
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:10,239
Speaker 1: don't wear sixties not. I'm just saying that's a big

929
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:12,959
Speaker 1: talk to us a little bit. The vibe the defensive backs,

930
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 1: I mean, Trey still working to come back, Kier making

931
00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,960
Speaker 1: a little bit of a splash, but you know you,

932
00:52:18,680 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 1: Micah j Poe, uh, Dane Jackson can have a lot

933
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: of familiar faces back there. How's the vibe in camp

934
00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: so far? I mean it's been good. Uh. We've spent

935
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time with each other on and off

936
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:33,360
Speaker 1: the field even before this year, so our camaraderie is

937
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,120
Speaker 1: really really good and hopefully we could just continue to

938
00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:40,040
Speaker 1: elevate our games on the on the field. Taran, I

939
00:52:40,120 --> 00:52:44,840
Speaker 1: wanted to check in with you because Isaiah mackenzie is

940
00:52:44,880 --> 00:52:49,279
Speaker 1: having a nice camp. How how high of quality are

941
00:52:49,280 --> 00:52:51,840
Speaker 1: those reps for you? Because he's he's had a pretty

942
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:54,640
Speaker 1: consistent camp so far. He's done a nice job. What's

943
00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:58,040
Speaker 1: it been like going against a guy that's built lower

944
00:52:58,080 --> 00:53:00,000
Speaker 1: the ground than you, who can get in and out

945
00:53:00,200 --> 00:53:02,920
Speaker 1: real quick. I mean, it's it's great, you know. Uh,

946
00:53:03,440 --> 00:53:07,040
Speaker 1: it's definitely His speed is definitely definitely something that's hard

947
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 1: to match with other players. So just having that and

948
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,960
Speaker 1: going up against that every day is it just helps me,

949
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And it's gonna help me

950
00:53:13,920 --> 00:53:16,560
Speaker 1: ready for the season. What subtle differences or maybe major

951
00:53:16,600 --> 00:53:18,719
Speaker 1: differences are there this year in this training camp with

952
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,560
Speaker 1: this crew of guys on defense, with the guys upfront,

953
00:53:22,880 --> 00:53:25,120
Speaker 1: coming back off the season you put together last year's

954
00:53:25,200 --> 00:53:27,840
Speaker 1: number one defense overall, what kind of subtle differences or

955
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 1: evolution do you see or since or is it too

956
00:53:30,560 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: early for that? I mean, I feel like it's a

957
00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: little early, you know what I'm saying. We got to

958
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,400
Speaker 1: play against other other teams, you know, I feel like

959
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,719
Speaker 1: that's when we really can see. But just as far

960
00:53:39,760 --> 00:53:41,719
Speaker 1: as I feel like our our d line has came

961
00:53:41,960 --> 00:53:44,000
Speaker 1: such a long way, and just how they're getting after

962
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:47,720
Speaker 1: the quarterback is very exciting to see. Do you anticipate

963
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:52,759
Speaker 1: new wrinkles from opposing offenses because it's on paper now,

964
00:53:52,840 --> 00:53:56,560
Speaker 1: it's just it's a statistic your nickel defense is essentially

965
00:53:56,600 --> 00:54:00,399
Speaker 1: your base defense. Yep, how is coach phrase? You're kind

966
00:54:00,400 --> 00:54:05,000
Speaker 1: of preparing, you guys, knowing that teams are anticipating that

967
00:54:05,080 --> 00:54:06,759
Speaker 1: from the jump and they might try to force you

968
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:08,239
Speaker 1: out of that. They were trying to do that late

969
00:54:08,320 --> 00:54:11,440
Speaker 1: last year. What are you guys kind of trying to

970
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:14,000
Speaker 1: anticipate as best you can. You won't know it until

971
00:54:14,040 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: you see it, but you gotta believe those ocs have

972
00:54:16,840 --> 00:54:19,360
Speaker 1: been working all offseason trying to have an answer for

973
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:22,680
Speaker 1: your nickel defense. Uh. To be honest, I'm not I'm

974
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: not really sure. I know we're focused on on playing

975
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,240
Speaker 1: our offense right now. We're not worried about nose teams

976
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,719
Speaker 1: in the future. So I'm sure when when we play

977
00:54:30,719 --> 00:54:32,759
Speaker 1: those teams, we're gonna have a better understanding of what

978
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:34,800
Speaker 1: other teams are trying to do. You know. Um, But

979
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:37,239
Speaker 1: as as far I like to be used as I

980
00:54:37,239 --> 00:54:38,800
Speaker 1: mean a Swiss army knife, you know what I'm saying.

981
00:54:38,800 --> 00:54:41,040
Speaker 1: So I feel like I could do anything at a

982
00:54:41,080 --> 00:54:43,560
Speaker 1: high level, whatever the game plan may be, you know.

983
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:46,680
Speaker 1: So I just want to make sure that I'm getting

984
00:54:46,680 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 1: ready for that this training camp and for the season. Yeah,

985
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:52,840
Speaker 1: that's that's for coaches to handle like anything else. But

986
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,560
Speaker 1: proof of that proof of your versatility is the fact

987
00:54:55,600 --> 00:54:58,600
Speaker 1: that coach Fraser's like, throw whatever you want at us.

988
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,920
Speaker 1: We're even tearing on the field. So too bad for you,

989
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,160
Speaker 1: Like you figured it out you during training camp. I

990
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:06,280
Speaker 1: mean all the players, both offense and defense, are aware

991
00:55:06,280 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: of what's going on on both sides of the the ball,

992
00:55:07,760 --> 00:55:09,920
Speaker 1: that the injuries and how it's going. The offensive line's

993
00:55:09,960 --> 00:55:12,399
Speaker 1: kind of a mess right now. You got saffolds out.

994
00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: Tommy Doyle just went down today, Dion is the only

995
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: back after a couple of days out. You got Spencer

996
00:55:18,719 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: Brown's not one hundred percent as you're going. So the

997
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:22,520
Speaker 1: offensive line is a little bit of a mess, but

998
00:55:22,560 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 1: also your defensive line, and usually the defense is ahead

999
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,640
Speaker 1: of the offense. Anyway, what's the vibe going around camp

1000
00:55:28,760 --> 00:55:31,400
Speaker 1: is that with the offensive line, is your defensive line

1001
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:34,399
Speaker 1: on your side playing so well this early in camp.

1002
00:55:34,440 --> 00:55:37,879
Speaker 1: I mean Josh and case keenum Matt Barkley, I mean there,

1003
00:55:38,280 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: I mean they have no time to throw right now,

1004
00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:42,120
Speaker 1: And I guess it's a little bit of both an

1005
00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:44,000
Speaker 1: offensive line with a bunch of guys that haven't played

1006
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,640
Speaker 1: together and an upgraded defensive line. What's the vibe in

1007
00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:48,319
Speaker 1: camp or what's the roster? What are you guys in

1008
00:55:48,320 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: the locker room talking about or thinking about in defense?

1009
00:55:51,160 --> 00:55:53,960
Speaker 1: And when you watch the film, I mean, do you

1010
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: discount how well it's going right now? I mean we

1011
00:55:58,320 --> 00:56:01,799
Speaker 1: see it. You know sometimes time maybe coach doesn't stop

1012
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:03,960
Speaker 1: to play even when it possibly could be a sack

1013
00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:06,720
Speaker 1: or something like that. Yeah, so we're just really focused

1014
00:56:06,760 --> 00:56:09,359
Speaker 1: on on the DBS essentially, you know what I'm saying.

1015
00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,399
Speaker 1: When it comes to when we play our first game,

1016
00:56:11,600 --> 00:56:13,440
Speaker 1: then we're gonna be more tied into what the d

1017
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:17,439
Speaker 1: line's doing and actually see their real effect because right now, coach,

1018
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:19,400
Speaker 1: there'll be a sack, and Coach won't blow the whistle,

1019
00:56:19,440 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, And he's still playing out there.

1020
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,920
Speaker 1: So we're really gonna see it come game time. And

1021
00:56:24,000 --> 00:56:26,839
Speaker 1: for people who listen and watch practice, they don't blow

1022
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 1: the whistle because they don't want to waste the rep

1023
00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,400
Speaker 1: for twenty one other guy. Yeah, either defensive end von

1024
00:56:31,480 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 1: Miller or you come in on our blitz get a sack.

1025
00:56:33,880 --> 00:56:35,359
Speaker 1: They don't want to stop the rep because those other

1026
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:39,359
Speaker 1: guys need to keep going exact exactly. Everybody does that,

1027
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,759
Speaker 1: but for fans who are like, going, you know, why

1028
00:56:41,760 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: don't they do that? That's the reason, arn I know

1029
00:56:45,560 --> 00:56:47,800
Speaker 1: you've been going against Mackenzie the bulk of the reps

1030
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:50,200
Speaker 1: here in camp, and that's when a lot of you

1031
00:56:50,200 --> 00:56:52,279
Speaker 1: guys say, I'm ready to play somebody else. I'm tired

1032
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: or looking at number six every day. But with Jamison,

1033
00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:58,399
Speaker 1: crowd are getting back closer to getting team reps. How

1034
00:56:58,480 --> 00:57:01,359
Speaker 1: much would you welcome just lining up against another guy

1035
00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:03,799
Speaker 1: in the slot just to get different work? If you

1036
00:57:03,800 --> 00:57:06,719
Speaker 1: know what I mean, you gotta beat on Isaiah, He's

1037
00:57:06,760 --> 00:57:08,680
Speaker 1: gotta beat on you. It's like, how about let's mix

1038
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: it up a little bit right now? I agree? I

1039
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 1: mean even when I get Stafford, Gabe and the slice

1040
00:57:12,600 --> 00:57:14,919
Speaker 1: some time. So I'm like, Okay, somebody different, I'm saying,

1041
00:57:14,920 --> 00:57:17,160
Speaker 1: because everyone runs their their routes a little bit different

1042
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,520
Speaker 1: or just have different skill sets, you know what I'm saying.

1043
00:57:20,560 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 1: So just seeing someone else different is is really gonna

1044
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 1: help me and get ready for whoever my matchup may

1045
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,160
Speaker 1: become the season. People don't realize. You get in there,

1046
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:32,040
Speaker 1: you may not take a rip against Isaiah, but you

1047
00:57:32,120 --> 00:57:34,040
Speaker 1: watch and one on one films, you know, and one

1048
00:57:34,240 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: you watch all these guys take reps. You know, everybody

1049
00:57:36,800 --> 00:57:41,360
Speaker 1: on your rosters so well on offensive defense, it's you

1050
00:57:41,480 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 1: just know, I mean, it's just so tired of seeing

1051
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,640
Speaker 1: the same thing. Yeah, I know, you're just a week

1052
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 1: end to camp. But even so, those reps get pretty

1053
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:50,920
Speaker 1: monotonous pretty soon. And what is the what is the

1054
00:57:50,920 --> 00:57:53,520
Speaker 1: coaching staff saying about, you know, what's next, how they're

1055
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: going to spice it up maybe a little bit. I

1056
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:57,320
Speaker 1: mean our coach, our coaching staff, they definitely would like

1057
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:59,080
Speaker 1: us to go with different people and not go with

1058
00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 1: the same person because assistently over and over. But obviously

1059
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,640
Speaker 1: when the ones are up the one, you're definitely gonna

1060
00:58:05,640 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: see the same person multiple multiple times, which is good

1061
00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,320
Speaker 1: and bad at the same time. You know, um, just

1062
00:58:11,360 --> 00:58:14,520
Speaker 1: trying to make the best of it and and and

1063
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:18,040
Speaker 1: get better. We hear that, Kairiel. I'm asking an awful

1064
00:58:18,040 --> 00:58:20,600
Speaker 1: lot of questions that you guys, which you'd hope a

1065
00:58:20,680 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 1: rookie would do. Yeah, because that's how you learn, learn

1066
00:58:23,280 --> 00:58:25,760
Speaker 1: from the guys that know. What are the kinds of

1067
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,840
Speaker 1: questions you find he's coming to you with, just really

1068
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:33,120
Speaker 1: asking about the defense. You know, there's some little details

1069
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:35,360
Speaker 1: that he's still trying to get figured out that he's

1070
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 1: definitely improved on since we first got back out here.

1071
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,960
Speaker 1: So just really the little details and nuances, whether he's

1072
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 1: asking me Dane or one of the safeties, is it

1073
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 1: stuff like leverage, like where's my help? Or what is it?

1074
00:58:46,600 --> 00:58:49,600
Speaker 1: It's like all those things. It's it's a combination everything. Yeah,

1075
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,200
Speaker 1: anything you really can think of, he wants to know

1076
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: about it, and yeah, so he's gonna he's gonna ask

1077
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:57,640
Speaker 1: his questions. Give us an idea to know this is

1078
00:58:57,800 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: you're you're a wily veteran. Now, how did your off

1079
00:59:02,880 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: season go this year? Have you continued to tinker with

1080
00:59:05,840 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: what you've done? Is there anything new that you tried

1081
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:11,800
Speaker 1: this year that you're feeling some benefits from, or you know,

1082
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 1: give us an idea of how are You're the run

1083
00:59:13,600 --> 00:59:15,240
Speaker 1: up to training camps gone for you this year? Now

1084
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: that you you are kind of an established player, really

1085
00:59:18,440 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 1: just trying to be more consistent, whether that be my coverage,

1086
00:59:21,880 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: whether that be my tackling, just on everything, just repping

1087
00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:27,840
Speaker 1: at it in the off season and wanting to take

1088
00:59:27,880 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: it to practice. The wanting to take it to the game.

1089
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: You know. I just feel like, if there's one thing

1090
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:35,320
Speaker 1: I could be better, I could just be more consistent,

1091
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:37,600
Speaker 1: you know. And that's just one hundreds and hundreds and

1092
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: hundreds of reps and just trying to perfect those reps.

1093
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:45,560
Speaker 1: We know that the beef that they added up front

1094
00:59:45,600 --> 00:59:50,080
Speaker 1: on the defensive interior is not only bigger, I would

1095
00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 1: argue nothing against the guys previously that played in there.

1096
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 1: I would argue that group's even more athletic as well.

1097
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:58,400
Speaker 1: How does that impact you as a run defender in

1098
00:59:58,440 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: this defense, because I would like to think that you

1099
01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,560
Speaker 1: can stay cleaner even as close to the line of

1100
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: scrimmage as you are when you got those big guys

1101
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,400
Speaker 1: in there that can hold you know, day Quon, you

1102
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:12,760
Speaker 1: can't move that guy. Yeah, Um, Jordan, same way. I mean,

1103
01:00:12,800 --> 01:00:15,320
Speaker 1: even Tim when he's in there. Have you seen a

1104
01:00:15,400 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 1: difference in how clean you are in the run front

1105
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,040
Speaker 1: because of that beef that's inside. Honestly, yes, Uh, they're

1106
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:24,680
Speaker 1: they're getting penetration. They're getting to the ball so quickly

1107
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,400
Speaker 1: that I mean it's gonna be hard for me to

1108
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:32,240
Speaker 1: make some backles in the backfield because they've already done it. Okay,

1109
01:00:32,240 --> 01:00:35,320
Speaker 1: I got you, um, but that's fine with me. You know,

1110
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,520
Speaker 1: I'd love to see it. Whatever can help our our

1111
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:40,040
Speaker 1: defense get better. It's not so much about like stats

1112
01:00:40,040 --> 01:00:43,280
Speaker 1: and stuff like that, but just is whatever we can

1113
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: do to win. That's that. I'm all for it, all right.

1114
01:00:45,560 --> 01:00:47,840
Speaker 1: What about you guys come into this training camp a

1115
01:00:47,880 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: little bit like last year after the twenty twenty season,

1116
01:00:50,080 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: the COVID year, you guys win a home playoff game

1117
01:00:53,480 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: to go to the AFC Championship. Come back last year

1118
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,000
Speaker 1: with some high expectations, but this year, I mean the

1119
01:00:58,080 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 1: expectations could not possibly be high. How you guys handling

1120
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:02,680
Speaker 1: that in the locker room? I mean, just taking it

1121
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:05,040
Speaker 1: one day at a time. I'm just trying to get

1122
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:07,439
Speaker 1: better every single day, like that's my main goal right now.

1123
01:01:07,800 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not even thinking about the season yet. I'm

1124
01:01:09,560 --> 01:01:12,800
Speaker 1: still thinking about training camp every day. So so really

1125
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: just trying to get better every single day. So when

1126
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,720
Speaker 1: it's time to to to step foot on that field

1127

1169
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:51,480
Speaker 1: great debt, you know. Oh yeah, nice, No problem, Yeah

1170
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:54,440
Speaker 1: for families for sure. Wanted to get to the tweet

1171
01:03:54,480 --> 01:03:56,280
Speaker 1: sheet where we were asking you what will be the

1172
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 1: biggest benefit to the Bills defensive backfield in twenty two.

1173
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:03,080
Speaker 1: Your choices are there on the Twitter poll add one

1174
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:06,600
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Scott says, my vote for biggest benefit is

1175
01:04:06,720 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 1: position depth. If one or more of the projected starters

1176
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:14,280
Speaker 1: goes down, you need capable backups. I think the Bills

1177
01:04:14,320 --> 01:04:17,920
Speaker 1: have good depth and could be a huge factor this season.

1178
01:04:17,960 --> 01:04:22,240
Speaker 1: What is your position on the depth of the defensive backfield, Steve,

1179
01:04:22,840 --> 01:04:26,800
Speaker 1: I think yeah. I think this is as good at

1180
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,840
Speaker 1: depth and maybe the most proven depth at corner that

1181
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:35,760
Speaker 1: they've had in you know, since McDermott took over. Dane

1182
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: Jackson played extremely well in the second last third of

1183
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:44,160
Speaker 1: last year Tier elam top notch first round draft pick

1184
01:04:44,880 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: Trdabus White, coming back, Cam Lewis, tarn Johnson. They've got

1185
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:54,600
Speaker 1: some guys and they've got enough to cover any deficiencies

1186
01:04:54,600 --> 01:04:56,680
Speaker 1: if they'd lose one or two guys to injury. I

1187
01:04:56,720 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 1: don't have a problem putting any of those guys in.

1188
01:04:58,560 --> 01:05:01,480
Speaker 1: So I think depth really is a strength of this club.

1189
01:05:01,560 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 1: But I don't know that it's gonna be the biggest

1190
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,600
Speaker 1: difference we see in this year's because if we won't

1191
01:05:07,600 --> 01:05:10,880
Speaker 1: see it, if there's no injuries, right, I think it's

1192
01:05:11,280 --> 01:05:13,120
Speaker 1: I think the thing that's going to make the biggest

1193
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,640
Speaker 1: difference is the D line. Yeah, that's my call. I

1194
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:18,800
Speaker 1: and I know we're a little bit of prisoners at

1195
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 1: the moment because the D line is looking so different,

1196
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 1: playing so well right now, particularly with us with a

1197
01:05:23,400 --> 01:05:26,800
Speaker 1: scattershot offensive line line up, you know they're gonna look

1198
01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,080
Speaker 1: And it's also very early in camp, and the defense

1199
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: is always ahead of the offense because you know, they

1200
01:05:31,720 --> 01:05:33,640
Speaker 1: read and react and just play instead of having to

1201
01:05:33,720 --> 01:05:37,920
Speaker 1: choreograph every footstep, footstep and hand placement. And it's easier

1202
01:05:37,920 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: for them to get it right with enthusiasm. But man,

1203
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:44,400
Speaker 1: they do look good and they do look different ups

1204
01:05:44,480 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: up front. Here's the thing I had to actually remind

1205
01:05:46,600 --> 01:05:48,480
Speaker 1: myself last week when I was doing the show with

1206
01:05:48,520 --> 01:05:52,760
Speaker 1: Maddie on Friday, I haven't I had to remind myself

1207
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:58,880
Speaker 1: this is Juquon Johnson's fourth NFL season, his fourth NFL season.

1208
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 1: You don't see an off of these guys on the

1209
01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 1: field on Sunday. It's like, ah, you know, he's still

1210
01:06:03,400 --> 01:06:06,760
Speaker 1: a young guy in the pipeline here. What fourth NFL season,

1211
01:06:06,800 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: The guy's got experienced Dane Jackson, third NFL season. It's

1212
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:13,400
Speaker 1: not like these guys are been here for a year,

1213
01:06:13,840 --> 01:06:16,320
Speaker 1: you know, trying to learn the ropes. They've been here

1214
01:06:16,360 --> 01:06:20,480
Speaker 1: for multiple seasons in this defensive scheme which has not changed,

1215
01:06:20,880 --> 01:06:23,720
Speaker 1: and so if called upon, I think you have to

1216
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:27,760
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about the people they can turn to

1217
01:06:27,760 --> 01:06:31,160
Speaker 1: to play meaningful snaps, whether it's you know, Jaquan Johnson,

1218
01:06:31,280 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson, Kye Elam is a supreme talent as you mentioned. Yeah,

1219
01:06:37,440 --> 01:06:40,600
Speaker 1: I just think that the depth is experienced depth, even

1220
01:06:40,640 --> 01:06:43,680
Speaker 1: though it might not be viewed as experienced in the

1221
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,840
Speaker 1: eyes of Bills fans, Yeah, because they haven't seen him enough.

1222
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,280
Speaker 1: We've talked about, you know, Dane Jackson and some of

1223
01:06:48,320 --> 01:06:50,880
Speaker 1: the third year players that are going to be in

1224
01:06:50,920 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 1: the pipeline. We talked third year in the NFL. We

1225
01:06:54,800 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: said it a lot last year with Dawson Knox. It's

1226
01:06:57,760 --> 01:07:01,520
Speaker 1: a kind of a what you call it a rainbow

1227
01:07:01,640 --> 01:07:03,760
Speaker 1: year here or a huge growth year. It's one of those.

1228
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: It's where this got everybody blossoms, you know, in their

1229
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 1: third year It's a huge year for a lot of players.

1230
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:12,120
Speaker 1: When they finally get it together and they come back

1231
01:07:12,480 --> 01:07:15,280
Speaker 1: for their third season, they've they've got a great offseason

1232
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,400
Speaker 1: under their belt because it's the first off season where

1233
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 1: they come off the see or I mean come off

1234
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:23,640
Speaker 1: a year after not being you know, a rookie. UM.

1235
01:07:24,000 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: The third year just seems to be a comfort level

1236
01:07:26,920 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: for guys where they can really spread their wings. Dane

1237
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:33,520
Speaker 1: Jackson is a great example, you know, Milano in the past,

1238
01:07:33,920 --> 01:07:38,960
Speaker 1: at Oliver last year, Dawson Knox last year. So it

1239
01:07:39,040 --> 01:07:41,840
Speaker 1: was at that third year even and it goes way back.

1240
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,680
Speaker 1: It's not just like this point in history had happened

1241
01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: to me in my third year. UM, it happens to

1242
01:07:47,200 --> 01:07:52,280
Speaker 1: a ton of guys because they consider themselves at that

1243
01:07:52,440 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 1: point proven player, a player that is a fixture, you know,

1244
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:58,560
Speaker 1: they've got a place here, and they start to feel like, okay,

1245
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:01,880
Speaker 1: I can now I'm gonna attack my craft and not

1246
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:04,200
Speaker 1: think about my place on the roster kind of thing.

1247
01:08:04,440 --> 01:08:07,439
Speaker 1: And it's a huge step forward from most of them.

1248
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,680
Speaker 1: From Justin He says, having a healthy trayback is huge

1249
01:08:10,680 --> 01:08:13,440
Speaker 1: for the defense, but having a greater pass rush can

1250
01:08:13,560 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 1: help any dub We heard Terren Johnson talking about it

1251
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: here just a few minutes ago, how valuable that defense

1252
01:08:19,880 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 1: in front is going to be for them, not only

1253
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:23,960
Speaker 1: in the passing game, but as I asked him, yeah,

1254
01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,040
Speaker 1: it's going to keep him cleaning the run front. Also

1255
01:08:26,080 --> 01:08:29,160
Speaker 1: because he's a pretty critical component of the run defense.

1256
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: As this scheme is drawn up, and with those big

1257
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:35,920
Speaker 1: guys up front, he doesn't have a guard screaming around

1258
01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:38,600
Speaker 1: the edge, pulling, ready to pick him off on a

1259
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 1: pin and pull player or something. It's great for tern

1260
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:43,600
Speaker 1: and the run game. Let's face it, he's a linebacker

1261
01:08:43,960 --> 01:08:47,720
Speaker 1: all the same. That's what you gotta do. That's where

1262
01:08:47,720 --> 01:08:50,120
Speaker 1: he's at. He's next to the formation and if they're

1263
01:08:50,200 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 1: running it, that's what his job is. He's got to

1264
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: stick his nose in there and make a tackle and

1265
01:08:55,200 --> 01:09:00,000
Speaker 1: sometimes fend off a block or navigate traffic to get there. So, yeah,

1266
01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,920
Speaker 1: defensive line that can get penetration and move the line

1267
01:09:02,920 --> 01:09:05,120
Speaker 1: of scrimmage or at least hold the line of scrimmage,

1268
01:09:05,120 --> 01:09:06,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna make his job better in their run game.

1269
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,120
Speaker 1: It because teams are, like we've talked to Leslie Frasier,

1270
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:13,080
Speaker 1: We've heard a couple of places teams are gonna pry

1271
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:17,960
Speaker 1: try and pry the Bills out of that nickel defense

1272
01:09:18,040 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 1: once see if they can get them into different personnel groups.

1273
01:09:20,640 --> 01:09:23,960
Speaker 1: They have been very, very reluctant to do it. Arren

1274
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,160
Speaker 1: Johnson's a big reason why, because he's so versatile. Yeah.

1275
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:30,880
Speaker 1: Tweet seet incidentally brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems,

1276
01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company at the Buffalo Bills. You

1277
01:09:33,200 --> 01:09:37,559
Speaker 1: heard the truck horn there. We have to take a

1278
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:42,959
Speaker 1: break though. When we come back one we're gonna stay here, okay.

1279
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 1: So we wanted to take time to pass along to

1280
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:49,960
Speaker 1: you the comments of one kier Elam addressing the media

1281
01:09:50,080 --> 01:09:54,600
Speaker 1: after practice today and has been getting tons of compliments

1282
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: throwing his way for not only his approach to the game,

1283
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,280
Speaker 1: but for asking the right questions to teammates and coaches,

1284
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 1: not backing down to anybody on the field, including all

1285
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:10,519
Speaker 1: pros to find Diggs. Here is Kayer Eli. A couple

1286
01:10:10,520 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: of nice battles, a little physical there. But what's that

1287
01:10:12,840 --> 01:10:19,559
Speaker 1: been like from your perspective? Uh? I say, I know

1288
01:10:19,600 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 1: we have like the same like kind of personality. Man.

1289
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 1: We just want to win, like not even like a

1290
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,920
Speaker 1: game like a whole like every rep. So, I mean,

1291
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 1: I try to make it to where it's not just him,

1292
01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 1: it's the whole receiver corps like wherever I go against. Man,

1293
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 1: just trying to win every single rep and ultimately not

1294
01:10:34,760 --> 01:10:36,560
Speaker 1: not just for my benefits, for just to help the

1295
01:10:36,600 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 1: team because you know, if I perform well, you know

1296
01:10:38,479 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: that like that competitiveness, you know, kind of just helps

1297
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,880
Speaker 1: the team just kind of compete. And you know, I

1298
01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:46,479
Speaker 1: just you know, I mean, I love that. I love compete,

1299
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:47,920
Speaker 1: you man, I just want to win, like I said,

1300
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:50,680
Speaker 1: so it just honestly, it's just trying to maximize my

1301
01:10:50,720 --> 01:10:54,360
Speaker 1: potential to help this team win it for your development

1302
01:10:54,439 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 1: that you're going against Gigs and Davis and I say

1303
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 1: every day when getting I mean, I feel like this

1304
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,840
Speaker 1: alite group of receivers. Man, they pushed me every single day. Man,

1305
01:11:03,880 --> 01:11:07,080
Speaker 1: It's no it's no taking days off, always uh going

1306
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,400
Speaker 1: at me, always talking trash. But at the end of

1307
01:11:09,439 --> 01:11:11,439
Speaker 1: the day, I really respect those guys because off the

1308
01:11:11,680 --> 01:11:14,320
Speaker 1: outside of the white line, they just like as humble

1309
01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 1: as could be. Man. They always try to give me

1310
01:11:15,840 --> 01:11:18,040
Speaker 1: points and help me, you know, just elevate my game.

1311
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:21,200
Speaker 1: So I couldn't I couldn't be more grateful for those guys.

1312
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,719
Speaker 1: Let's follow up on that. What a step to outside

1313
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:26,040
Speaker 1: the field to kind of make out relationship work when

1314
01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:30,280
Speaker 1: it becomes so competitive, Like I said, like between those

1315
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,080
Speaker 1: white lines, we go hard, like we go at it

1316
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,400
Speaker 1: like we don't play on the same team. But like

1317
01:11:34,439 --> 01:11:36,439
Speaker 1: outside of the you know, the white line, he's always

1318
01:11:36,439 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 1: trying to like give me game over the How How

Speaker 1: them confident, you know, things like that just to help

1322
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:48,439

1324
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 1: you know, and I appreciate that. Get balanced, Stop playing

1325
01:11:53,120 --> 01:11:55,640
Speaker 1: with an edge but not crossing the line, because I

1326
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:57,360
Speaker 1: know it's got to be especially tough out of the

1327
01:11:57,360 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 1: paths around right right right, Um, honestly, show it comes

1328
01:12:03,439 --> 01:12:05,839
Speaker 1: to h I guess it comes with self control, honestly,

1329
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,599
Speaker 1: just trying to just be more mentally tough right now

1330
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 1: then physically tough because you know he's I have to

1331
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:16,599
Speaker 1: take care of my teammates, So I don't know, man,

1332
01:12:16,760 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: just just got to come down and just just controlling you.

1333
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: You're mental, I guess you know. I've seen you working

1334
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:22,920
Speaker 1: out to the cybe of Dane and some of the

1335
01:12:22,960 --> 01:12:25,680
Speaker 1: other dvs, and then we see Trey kind of off

1336
01:12:25,720 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: on the track giving this thing. How much time have

1337
01:12:28,080 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: you got to spend with him, maybe in like the

1338
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,559
Speaker 1: film room or just inside the locker room or whatever,

1339
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:35,080
Speaker 1: and like what if you've taken away from those conversations.

1340
01:12:36,040 --> 01:12:37,760
Speaker 1: I just try to be a sponge and just soak

1341
01:12:37,880 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 1: up everything, uh, everything I see and everything he tells me. Honestly, Uh,

1342
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, I'm a big I try to listen and

1343
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,240
Speaker 1: also apply, like because a lot of people just listening

1344
01:12:46,800 --> 01:12:49,040
Speaker 1: just like forget about what they say. But like, honestly,

1345
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:50,880
Speaker 1: I just try to take whatever you teach me and

1346
01:12:50,920 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: just try to apply M on the field and to

1347
01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: help me deal become a better player. Um, you know,

1348
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:56,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of I know it's kind of difficult for

1349
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,880
Speaker 1: him because he's you know, rehabbing and things like that,

1350
01:12:58,920 --> 01:13:01,400
Speaker 1: but he's been heck of a role model, you know

1351
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 1: for me. So come into camp, they dither work, they

1352
01:13:04,920 --> 01:13:06,920
Speaker 1: keep their head down, and you don't really notice in

1353
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,200
Speaker 1: this runch. You're physical, You're physical but step on things.

1354
01:13:10,240 --> 01:13:13,759
Speaker 1: You're monstrative. It's a good play. Is that a conscient

1355
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:16,360
Speaker 1: Is that just who you are? Did you think about

1356
01:13:16,439 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: being anything different walking into an NFL camp? Nah? Man,

1357
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:24,160
Speaker 1: I just try to be myself honestly. Um, you know,

1358
01:13:24,840 --> 01:13:28,360
Speaker 1: when I came here, I was just so so grateful that, uh,

1359
01:13:29,240 --> 01:13:32,200
Speaker 1: you know, the bill is just like drafted me. So

1360
01:13:32,280 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 1: you know, I just wanted to give, just get my

1361
01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:37,400
Speaker 1: all and never take it for granted. I mean the attributes,

1362
01:13:37,479 --> 01:13:39,559
Speaker 1: you know, I think I have to you know, try

1363
01:13:39,600 --> 01:13:42,280
Speaker 1: to be physical, you know, I mean fast, you know, long,

1364
01:13:42,560 --> 01:13:45,000
Speaker 1: but like I feel like the fundamentals and technique will

1365
01:13:45,040 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: take me a long way. So that's so I'm trying

1366
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:48,719
Speaker 1: to add to my game. You're a unique situation because

1367
01:13:48,720 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: you're dead in your own play. So I mean since

1368
01:13:51,840 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 1: you've been here, have there been conversations back home you're

1369
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 1: called home or uncle just to kind of share some

1370
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,559
Speaker 1: ideas or get some I don't know what I pointers

1371
01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:05,160
Speaker 1: or if you conversations, Yeah, yeah, for sure. Um. Their

1372
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:06,880
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me is just to never lose my

1373
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:09,120
Speaker 1: confidence and just to be out and go out there

1374
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,840
Speaker 1: and try to just and always compete. You know. That's

1375
01:14:11,880 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: that's what I try to bring to the table, Like,

1376
01:14:13,800 --> 01:14:15,479
Speaker 1: you know, there's gonna have your I'm human, so I'm

1377
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:17,519
Speaker 1: gonna make some mistakes. I'm not gonna always win every

1378
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: single rep. But from them, it's just like just go

1379
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 1: out there and compet your behind off and and and

1380
01:14:21,880 --> 01:14:25,559
Speaker 1: you know, uh, my hard work and dedication like players

1381
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,360
Speaker 1: will come, but for now, just you know, just go

1382
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:29,920
Speaker 1: out there and just go hard. Exactly when he came

1383
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:32,840
Speaker 1: up there, like what's this parting shot? Because you going

1384
01:14:32,880 --> 01:14:36,479
Speaker 1: off to the first trading camp. I don't think he

1385
01:14:36,560 --> 01:14:39,200
Speaker 1: was that. He wasn't he mean, he wasn't nervous or anything,

1386
01:14:39,240 --> 01:14:41,080
Speaker 1: because he know, like, you know, I take this serious

1387
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:42,479
Speaker 1: and I I don't take it for granted. So he was

1388
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:47,400
Speaker 1: just like just I mean, I was already becoming a man,

1389
01:14:47,560 --> 01:14:50,120
Speaker 1: but now it's just like I am the man. So

1390
01:14:50,160 --> 01:14:53,280
Speaker 1: it's just like, never lose my edge, you know, just

1391
01:14:53,479 --> 01:14:56,439
Speaker 1: keep staying humble, keep getting God first, and everything else

1392
01:14:56,439 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 1: will work out for uself. That information coming from a

1393
01:14:59,120 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 1: lot of directions, you know, the white receivers, quarterbacks, everyone

1394
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: like giving you advice on that. How do you make

1395
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,920
Speaker 1: trust not too overwhelming? Like how do you keep things calm?

1396
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 1: And it could be a lot at once for someone's persons,

1397
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, for sure. I mean, like I said, just

1398
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: staying level headed, but also like trust but verify, Like

1399
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:19,680
Speaker 1: if somebody tells me something, to go research it or

1400
01:15:19,760 --> 01:15:22,040
Speaker 1: go like ask somebody else just to make sure you

1401
01:15:22,080 --> 01:15:24,800
Speaker 1: know that's the right information, because like everybody can tell

1402
01:15:24,800 --> 01:15:28,880
Speaker 1: you a lot of different things, but you know, um,

1403
01:15:28,880 --> 01:15:32,479
Speaker 1: just having trusty resources to back it up with. I mean,

1404
01:15:32,520 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: that's that's kind of what I try to do to

1405
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: technically much on Jordan and Marcos and their knowledge and

1406
01:15:40,479 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 1: play off them. Oh many. They they are like the

1407
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:47,280
Speaker 1: big brothers I've never had. They like, those two guys

1408
01:15:47,360 --> 01:15:50,519
Speaker 1: are alpha males man, and and I'm always just trying

1409
01:15:50,520 --> 01:15:52,120
Speaker 1: to Like I'm sitting next to them, man, I just

1410
01:15:52,160 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 1: try to just listen and just just apply, like because

1411
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:58,320
Speaker 1: they have so much knowledge and they have so much

1412
01:15:58,360 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: confidence to the point like they out there just playing

1413
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 1: without even thinking sometimes. So it's just like I couldn't

1414
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: be more grateful just to hear those guys back there

1415
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:10,439
Speaker 1: behind me and just make sure I know, like I

1416
01:16:10,479 --> 01:16:12,240
Speaker 1: could trust them. So it's just I'm just trying to

1417
01:16:12,240 --> 01:16:15,880
Speaker 1: earn that trust now at this point, I made us

1418
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:20,920
Speaker 1: obviously run today with Auston Man, your sweet was what

1419
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,480
Speaker 1: everybody was talking about me out here for your physicality.

1420
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,240
Speaker 1: You shoot out and got something that you notice teammates

1421
01:16:26,320 --> 01:16:31,840
Speaker 1: coaches kind of beat off. I'm just trying to do

1422
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:35,280
Speaker 1: more of that, man, I mean, I don't really, I don't.

1423
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna really, I don't try to live in the

1424
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,320
Speaker 1: past now. I'm just trying to just keep keep it going,

1425
01:16:39,680 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 1: make more plays, be more physical, and just be a

1426
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 1: heck of a teammate. Yampori prepared you for coming to that.

1427
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any conference better than a SEC

1428
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:59,120
Speaker 1: um big, fast, physical, you know, uh, no better conference

1429
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:01,679
Speaker 1: than a SEC. But you know, just coming from that SEC,

1430
01:17:01,760 --> 01:17:03,920
Speaker 1: I don't think I'm better than anybody, you know. I

1431
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 1: think it helped prepare me. But also I don't think

1432
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:11,519
Speaker 1: that puts me over the edge of anybody else, because

1433
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, it's all about what you do next, not

1434
01:17:13,920 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: what you did in the past. So been around the

1435
01:17:15,720 --> 01:17:17,840
Speaker 1: game obviously your whole life. But is there anything since

1436
01:17:17,840 --> 01:17:20,680
Speaker 1: getting trained camp that you kind of learned and you

1437
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:29,280
Speaker 1: weren't expecting to learn or kind of took you by suppressing? Um,

1438
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 1: it's way better than college. It's way better in college.

1439
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:37,320
Speaker 1: But honestly, I would say, like just the margin for

1440
01:17:37,479 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: error because you know, Josh's elite, Game's elite, Isaiah's elite,

1441
01:17:42,320 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 1: Stephan's elite. So like the timing and getting in out

1442
01:17:45,280 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 1: of your break, like the balls like right there. So

1443
01:17:47,400 --> 01:17:50,200
Speaker 1: like just the margin for error, like there's no time

1444
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:53,880
Speaker 1: for slip ups and late movements and false steps. So

1445
01:17:54,040 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 1: I think that's really a big difference from college. But help,

1446
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:02,599
Speaker 1: they don't love Josh not at all. Ye want to win.

1447
01:18:02,640 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: He's one of the Yeah going against him, you know

1448
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:07,720
Speaker 1: these this last week or so, you're a camp which

1449
01:18:07,760 --> 01:18:11,040
Speaker 1: what's that happen on? He's given me so much better, man,

1450
01:18:11,080 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: because like I guess, I can't afford a false step

1451
01:18:14,040 --> 01:18:19,320
Speaker 1: or bad eyes. It's just like you know, bad leverage

1452
01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,920
Speaker 1: because he's gonna take advantage of and then he's the

1453
01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 1: best quarterback I've ever seen in my life. Man. So

1454
01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: like I said, I mean, God makes no mistakes, and man,

1455
01:18:27,400 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: I'm meant to be here, and he's just get me

1456
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:31,960
Speaker 1: better hopefully, you know, for me to go have a

1457
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:36,880
Speaker 1: great season. Those back shoulders to Davis and Days, Yeah, yeah,

1458
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:38,479
Speaker 1: there was a couple of times when you're perfect, cup,

1459
01:18:38,600 --> 01:18:40,400
Speaker 1: I love, you could have done much more and it's

1460
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: they still completed. Does that get frustrating at one? How

1461
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:46,920
Speaker 1: do you make sure that you just yeah, first, yeah,

1462
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:49,680
Speaker 1: I was. I was frustrated because it's just like, like

1463
01:18:49,720 --> 01:18:51,400
Speaker 1: I said, I just want to win every single rep.

1464
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:55,920
Speaker 1: So like I gotta take a few deep breasts and

1465
01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:58,320
Speaker 1: be like, all right, you're like there's some stuff man,

1466
01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:00,560
Speaker 1: just perfect ball. You just gotta keep competing, like my

1467
01:19:00,600 --> 01:19:02,400
Speaker 1: dad said, Like I called my dad, like the fact

1468
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:03,920
Speaker 1: of like the first couple of days that kept hit

1469
01:19:03,960 --> 01:19:06,240
Speaker 1: knee on it, it it was just like, just keep competing.

1470
01:19:06,320 --> 01:19:09,040
Speaker 1: Like I mean, you can improve, always can improve your technique,

1471
01:19:09,040 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: but you're a pro now like he can't. You can't

1472
01:19:12,360 --> 01:19:15,000
Speaker 1: expect you can always strive to win every single rep.

1473
01:19:15,080 --> 01:19:17,639
Speaker 1: But it's not gonna be the case. So just keep

1474
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:21,799
Speaker 1: keep competing and never lose your edge. So I'm pushing

1475
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:26,320
Speaker 1: or maybe maybe not how tough, But how much did

1476
01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,400
Speaker 1: it take for you to swallow that to accept that.

1477
01:19:30,840 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: I love to compete so and I love to win

1478
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:35,679
Speaker 1: first and foremost. So it's kind of hard all the time. Man,

1479
01:19:35,760 --> 01:19:38,280
Speaker 1: But like I said, when I called my dad, he

1480
01:19:38,360 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 1: told me like he just like, just keep competing, like

1481
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:43,800
Speaker 1: just work to improve your technique and what coach Butler Man,

1482
01:19:43,840 --> 01:19:46,840
Speaker 1: he just he's always trying to trying to, um, make

1483
01:19:46,840 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 1: sure I play with proper technique and fundamental so um

1484
01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,720
Speaker 1: he's just make sure that that's my main focus right now,

1485
01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:55,479
Speaker 1: you know, because the plays will come, like you said,

1486
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:59,280
Speaker 1: but playing with better uh technique and fundamentals will help me,

1487
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,800
Speaker 1: you know, make in the future. But as of right now,

1488
01:20:01,960 --> 01:20:04,759
Speaker 1: just just gotta keep keep competing, never lose my eggs

1489
01:20:07,320 --> 01:20:15,599
Speaker 1: to start early. They're monsters. Monsters. Uh yeah, that freaks

1490
01:20:15,880 --> 01:20:18,559
Speaker 1: our first string, in second string, in thurstring. They just

1491
01:20:18,600 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: come rolling in and they just are monsters. That's the

1492
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:27,120
Speaker 1: only word I can explain. Like they just get after it.

1493
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,800
Speaker 1: So Kayer Ellaman pressed with Buffalo's defensive line through the

1494
01:20:34,840 --> 01:20:36,920
Speaker 1: first week of training camp along with just about everybody

1495
01:20:36,960 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: else that's watched this year and a grow and Josh

1496
01:20:40,040 --> 01:20:43,840
Speaker 1: Allen is the best quarterback he has ever seen. That's

1497
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: a that's a pretty lofty statement. I know he's a

1498
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:50,120
Speaker 1: young guy and hasn't seen everybody, but that's saying something. Yeah,

1499
01:20:50,200 --> 01:20:52,080
Speaker 1: I mean he's best quarterback A lot of people have

1500
01:20:52,200 --> 01:20:53,920
Speaker 1: ever seen too, So I mean he's not alone in

1501
01:20:53,920 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: that and Josh's he comes in his rookie season seeing

1502
01:20:57,040 --> 01:21:02,040
Speaker 1: Josh Josh fully formed. You know, he wasn't here three

1503
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 1: years ago, right, you know, four years ago, So it

1504
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,800
Speaker 1: was it's been a long time coming. Bills fans have

1505
01:21:07,880 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: watched it in the last three years, well this one

1506
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,200
Speaker 1: included this one last year and then twenty twenty as

1507
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 1: when we saw Josh at the critical masks. Yeah, emerged

1508
01:21:17,680 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: as one of the elite quarterbacks in the league. And

1509
01:21:20,400 --> 01:21:21,920
Speaker 1: it's nice to have him on your team. When you

1510
01:21:21,920 --> 01:21:23,320
Speaker 1: come in as a rookie. You see that, it's like

1511
01:21:24,200 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 1: this will work. We've got a chance. Yeah, we will

1512
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,960
Speaker 1: break here. Steve and I come back with one more

1513
01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:31,799
Speaker 1: segment as we have to get more of your thoughts

1514
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: from the tweet sheet in terms of what you think

1515
01:21:34,400 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 1: will benefit the secondary the most in twenty twenty two.

1516
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: Your choices are there and one Bills Live. We're back

1517
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:57,320
Speaker 1: in a moment state two. Back to the tweet sheet,

1518
01:21:57,360 --> 01:21:59,400
Speaker 1: we go what will be the biggest benefit to the

1519
01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:03,960
Speaker 1: Bills defense if backfield in twenty twenty two, Alex says

1520
01:22:04,040 --> 01:22:06,160
Speaker 1: a healthy Tray White with elam in the fold the

1521
01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:11,360
Speaker 1: ability to be versed on our coverages will be huge because,

1522
01:22:11,400 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: in his opinion, Trey White and Kaye Elam can play

1523
01:22:14,120 --> 01:22:18,439
Speaker 1: just about any defensive scheme you want them to press

1524
01:22:18,520 --> 01:22:21,880
Speaker 1: man off man. They played along in that area. They've

1525
01:22:21,880 --> 01:22:23,840
Speaker 1: always played both in Most of the analysts will say,

1526
01:22:23,880 --> 01:22:25,760
Speaker 1: you play they play a lot more man than you

1527
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:29,479
Speaker 1: might think they do. With Elam and Trey on the field,

1528
01:22:29,479 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 1: they may play a lot more man. Yeah, because I

1529
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: think as much as we all appreciated Levi Wallace's game,

1530
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:38,240
Speaker 1: I think we can all agree he's not the premier

1531
01:22:38,360 --> 01:22:41,639
Speaker 1: athlete that Kayyer Elam is. Physically, he doesn't have as

1532
01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: many physical gifts. He was a technician, was in the

1533
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:46,080
Speaker 1: right spot at the right time, but he didn't overpower

1534
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: anybody with his with his size or his speed athleticism.

1535
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: But he was a very solid player, a really good player,

1536
01:22:52,920 --> 01:22:55,599
Speaker 1: and a four year starter for this club on a

1537
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: team that went to the playoffs three out of those

1538
01:22:57,160 --> 01:23:00,120
Speaker 1: four years. So yeah, he was a good player. But

1539
01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:05,120
Speaker 1: you substitute in a Kaier Elam who's a phenomenal athlete

1540
01:23:05,120 --> 01:23:06,840
Speaker 1: with a different skill set, and it allows you to

1541
01:23:06,880 --> 01:23:10,360
Speaker 1: do different things from Alan on the tweet sheet, three words,

1542
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:15,160
Speaker 1: Von freaking Miller. Hurrying up the quarterback and making the

1543
01:23:15,240 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: quarterback throw bad balls will make the DB's days easier.

1544
01:23:19,680 --> 01:23:22,800
Speaker 1: I would tend to agree with that. It's not even sacks, Steve.

1545
01:23:22,880 --> 01:23:26,160
Speaker 1: Even if you can force hurried or ill advised throws,

1546
01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:29,240
Speaker 1: that means more opportunities. You can move the guys on

1547
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,759
Speaker 1: the back end to make big plays, you can disrupt

1548
01:23:31,800 --> 01:23:33,920
Speaker 1: the quarterback. It's all much better in the passing game

1549
01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:37,280
Speaker 1: for the defense. And that's that's what the idea is. Certainly,

1550
01:23:37,600 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: you know they're not going to get a sack on

1551
01:23:38,880 --> 01:23:42,679
Speaker 1: every passing play that they face. It'd be nice if they,

1552
01:23:43,400 --> 01:23:45,320
Speaker 1: you know, force some turnovers and some bad throws and

1553
01:23:45,400 --> 01:23:47,120
Speaker 1: some quick throws of that kind of thing, get some

1554
01:23:47,200 --> 01:23:49,320
Speaker 1: cheap fumbles in the pocket, that kind of stuff as well.

1555
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:53,800
Speaker 1: So that's the general idea. I mean, that's why you think,

1556
01:23:53,840 --> 01:23:55,400
Speaker 1: you right, you get a pass for USh can you

1557
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,280
Speaker 1: can disrupt everything in the passing game at both ends

1558
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: of the ball rather than just the secondary. It's pretty

1559
01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:03,560
Speaker 1: crazy to think that you're talking about a defense that

1560
01:24:03,720 --> 01:24:06,479
Speaker 1: was already number one against the pass. Now you're going

1561
01:24:06,520 --> 01:24:12,960
Speaker 1: to improve conceivably their pass rush. And it's also a

1562
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: team that has been among the league leaders in turnover differential,

1563
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: top five in takeaways. Now you're going to add a

1564
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: legitimate pass rush to the equation to give that defensive

1565
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 1: backfield that's had a lot of takeaways the opportunities for

1566
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:31,479
Speaker 1: more sakeaways. I mean it could really be. Yeah, things

1567
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,800
Speaker 1: go according to plan here and Josh takes care of

1568
01:24:33,840 --> 01:24:36,840
Speaker 1: the football on the other side, a very very lopsided

1569
01:24:36,880 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: turnover differential in favor of Buffalo. Well, you'd like to

1570
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:42,120
Speaker 1: think so, you'd really love to think so. Don't know

1571
01:24:42,160 --> 01:24:45,760
Speaker 1: that it'll happen that way. But you look back and

1572
01:24:45,840 --> 01:24:48,040
Speaker 1: we talked a lot about the number one defense and

1573
01:24:48,120 --> 01:24:51,320
Speaker 1: they should be very proud of it. But you remember

1574
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:53,120
Speaker 1: how that season started. They got a week They had

1575
01:24:53,120 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: a week schedule, a very week schedule, as it turned out,

1576
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:00,240
Speaker 1: because they were playing the the NFC East last year,

1577
01:25:00,280 --> 01:25:06,559
Speaker 1: the AFC South last year, UM AFC South, NFC South,

1578
01:25:06,840 --> 01:25:11,320
Speaker 1: NFC South right, Um, because and then you throw in

1579
01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,160
Speaker 1: as well, Washington the football team. Um. You know, they

1580
01:25:15,200 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: threw up two shut shutouts in the first four weeks

1581
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:20,400
Speaker 1: of the season. The Houston Texans they shut out because

1582
01:25:20,479 --> 01:25:24,960
Speaker 1: Davis Mills was making his first start Miami Dolphins Week two.

1583
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:26,880
Speaker 1: They shut out thirty five nothing because that was the

1584
01:25:26,880 --> 01:25:30,240
Speaker 1: one word. Tua went down after in the second series

1585
01:25:30,280 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: of the game on second down and didn't come back in.

1586
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: Jakobe Brissette comes in as a backup. You got the

1587
01:25:35,479 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: Saints slaying with their third string quarterbacks or simi. Between those,

1588
01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: you got Washington football team and it was what was

1589
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 1: the guy's name was Taylor Heineken. Taylor Heinekey was the quarterback.

1590
01:25:45,400 --> 01:25:48,479
Speaker 1: Then you got Davis Mills and Houston, then the Chiefs

1591
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:52,000
Speaker 1: and the Titans, the Dolphins with Tua. Then you got

1592
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: Jacksonville that you lost too, and then you're you're feasting

1593
01:25:56,520 --> 01:26:01,400
Speaker 1: on Zach wilson Um the Saints backup, which was Trevor Simeon,

1594
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,360
Speaker 1: third stringer, you know. Then you got mac Jones, you

1595
01:26:04,439 --> 01:26:07,920
Speaker 1: got beat by Tom Brady, a Carolina Panthers who was

1596
01:26:08,000 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 1: who was who was Carolina Panthers guy? Sam did not play? No,

1597
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:17,320
Speaker 1: it was somebody else? Was it? P J. Walker? No,

1598
01:26:17,400 --> 01:26:19,120
Speaker 1: he didn't play, all right, But you get the idea.

1599
01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:21,479
Speaker 1: It was not a it was not a you know,

1600
01:26:21,640 --> 01:26:25,479
Speaker 1: a gauntlet of quarterbacks, and you know, they struggled against

1601
01:26:25,520 --> 01:26:30,360
Speaker 1: some pretty good quarterbacks Tannehill, Um, even Carson Wentz had

1602
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:32,240
Speaker 1: a good game against them because they you know, ran

1603
01:26:32,320 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: the ball so well. Uh, the Chiefs and Titans, Tannehill,

1604
01:26:37,200 --> 01:26:40,400
Speaker 1: and it just when they faced good quarterbacks with Brady

1605
01:26:40,439 --> 01:26:43,080
Speaker 1: and all those guys. Ma Homes. Yeah, they struggled. They

1606
01:26:43,320 --> 01:26:46,640
Speaker 1: beat a couple of them. Yeah, but it was a

1607
01:26:46,720 --> 01:26:49,760
Speaker 1: it was a week schedule and they feasted on it.

1608
01:26:49,840 --> 01:26:52,280
Speaker 1: And so they were. They were a good defense whether

1609
01:26:52,360 --> 01:26:54,960
Speaker 1: or not they were number one, but getting number one,

1610
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,680
Speaker 1: I think and doing some of it was because of

1611
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,280
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks they faced in the schedule that they head.

1612
01:27:00,479 --> 01:27:02,680
Speaker 1: And I think you say it about every defense every year.

1613
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:05,400
Speaker 1: But Jack on the tweet sheet says, have to get

1614
01:27:05,400 --> 01:27:07,760
Speaker 1: Tray healthy and back in the lineup. They're better with him.

1615
01:27:08,240 --> 01:27:10,360
Speaker 1: Tray back in the lineup, adds to the depth of

1616
01:27:10,400 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 1: the whole group and allows them to bring along either

1617
01:27:12,560 --> 01:27:15,840
Speaker 1: Elam rather than tossing him to the Wolves right away.

1618
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,680
Speaker 1: Is it interesting to you that with Elam being a

1619
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 1: first round pick, they see if they have to start

1620
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:25,120
Speaker 1: him right away, is tossing him to the wolves when

1621
01:27:25,160 --> 01:27:26,840
Speaker 1: five years ago they did the exact same thing with

1622
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:30,040
Speaker 1: Dradevious White. I don't think they'll be afraid of it's

1623
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:34,320
Speaker 1: the way he's playing. I just find that narrative interesting,

1624
01:27:34,720 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like, suddenly it's throwing a

1625
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 1: rookie to the Yeah, corners different than corner, is different

1626
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:44,120
Speaker 1: than quarterback. Maybe it's because there's more at stake this

1627
01:27:44,200 --> 01:27:46,680
Speaker 1: season for this team than there wasn't twenty seventeen when

1628
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:50,640
Speaker 1: they just made the fast Sure, but maybe the expectations

1629
01:27:50,640 --> 01:27:52,920
Speaker 1: are certainly in a different spot. That's what I would say.

1630
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:55,519
Speaker 1: I would say, no, that the only thing that you

1631
01:27:55,560 --> 01:27:57,760
Speaker 1: worry about throwing a rookie in the only position is

1632
01:27:57,800 --> 01:28:00,680
Speaker 1: really is the quarterback spot because it's so complicated and

1633
01:28:01,040 --> 01:28:04,719
Speaker 1: everything happens so fast, and everything's focused on that guy

1634
01:28:04,920 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 1: at corner. You can help the guy at every position, guard, left, tackle,

1635
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:16,280
Speaker 1: all of it. Safety. You can help those guys play

1636
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 1: okay and hold and find themselves a little bit grow

1637
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:23,000
Speaker 1: into it. No question, you can do that on the field. Quarterback,

1638
01:28:23,040 --> 01:28:25,960
Speaker 1: it's hard to hide that guy, you know a little bit.

1639
01:28:26,000 --> 01:28:29,320
Speaker 1: It's hard to hide that guy. So I don't, you know,

1640
01:28:29,439 --> 01:28:31,920
Speaker 1: letting the guy find his legs or helping him along

1641
01:28:32,000 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: or bringing him along slowly, it's not really a concern

1642
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 1: for anything other than the QB. Josh says, I feel

1643
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:41,240
Speaker 1: that the consensus is Trey White plus pass rush, So

1644
01:28:41,240 --> 01:28:43,360
Speaker 1: I'll take a different view. Finishing drives with TV's on

1645
01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,559
Speaker 1: offense and more splash plays, being more physical against the

1646
01:28:46,560 --> 01:28:49,840
Speaker 1: better running teams on defense would benefit an already consistently

1647
01:28:49,840 --> 01:28:53,400
Speaker 1: great year after year past defense. So he's putting it

1648
01:28:53,439 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: on the offense, finish drives with touchdowns, more splash plays,

1649
01:28:57,600 --> 01:29:00,479
Speaker 1: being more physical against better running teams on defense. I'll

1650
01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:02,479
Speaker 1: sign up for that. Yeah, and I think they're poised

1651
01:29:02,479 --> 01:29:04,639
Speaker 1: to do it with the defensive tackles that think. I agree.

1652
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,000
Speaker 1: I agree. That is it for us. Steve and I

1653
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:10,760
Speaker 1: will see you right back here, same bad time, same

1654
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:13,799
Speaker 1: bad channel, one PM. See you Tuesday here from training

1655
01:29:13,800 --> 01:29:14,920
Speaker 1: camp at Saint John Fisher
