1
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,320 --> 00:00:18,759
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: the strated beer of normalcy, all right. How you be

5
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:28,520
Speaker 1: here on a Wednesday, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker here with you.

6
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:31,800
Speaker 1: Another day of practice going on outside, a rather intense

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,200
Speaker 1: day of practice. Will explain why in just a minute,

8
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,880
Speaker 1: and then things start to gear down from there, going

9
00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: into Friday's final preseason game, this one on the road

10
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,840
Speaker 1: at Carolina and Steve, another beautiful day in Western New York,

11
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: another beautiful day for practice. But the pads are on.

12
00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: They're going thud one versus Ones today. And there's a

13
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: reason for that. Yeah, because nobody's gonna play on Friday. Yeah, Yeah,

14
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,039
Speaker 1: They're all gonna sit. So that's and that's what he

15
00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: did week one of the preseason, before they played Indianapolis,

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: the Ones had a couple of days, of course, his

17
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: training camp, the Ones had a couple of days where

18
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,319
Speaker 1: he he coached warm out a little bit as much

19
00:01:18,319 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: as you can, you know, um. And one of the

20
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 1: reasons he gave us for doing that was that as

21
00:01:26,080 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: much as they can turn these guys loose into practice.

22
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,520
Speaker 1: They do, except that the coaches are the ones with

23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: the whistles, not the officials and not And it's not

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: about the you know, the play itself. It's about what's happening.

25
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: And they can stop the play halfway through they see

26
00:01:40,920 --> 00:01:43,520
Speaker 1: something bad, it's gonna happen. They blow the whistle early,

27
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:46,640
Speaker 1: they don't. Nobody sacks, nobody touches the qbs, all of that.

28
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 1: Nobody takes anybody to the ground. But they also stopped

29
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: the play a little prematurely in most occasions too so,

30
00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:55,080
Speaker 1: and that's something that gives the coaches some control and

31
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 1: also some comfort about getting through it unscathed and while

32
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,840
Speaker 1: yet making them work really hard. So coach McDermott addressed

33
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: the media before practice today, not a ton in there,

34
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:09,160
Speaker 1: but will give you the headlines first and foremost. As

35
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,080
Speaker 1: we mentioned the starters, most of the starters will not

36
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 1: suit up at all and play. They might suit up,

37
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: but they're not going to play. And essentially, he said

38
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: there might be a few exceptions. Those exceptions will be

39
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:28,920
Speaker 1: players that have not even practiced a lot through the

40
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 1: course of training camp and the time they've spent back

41
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 1: here since leaving Saint John Fisher. I asked him if

42
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:37,840
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox would fall into that category because, as we know,

43
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,520
Speaker 1: he missed time being away with his family after the

44
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:43,240
Speaker 1: tragic passing of his younger brother. He also did not

45
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: play in the first preseason game. But it is coach's

46
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 1: opinion that Dawson Knox has practiced a lot through the

47
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 1: course of training camp, which he has. I don't think

48
00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:55,239
Speaker 1: he's missed a practice and aside from the ones he

49
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: missed while he was away with his family, and then

50
00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:00,400
Speaker 1: obviously the preseason game. So no preseason action for Dawson

51
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: Knox at all, it appears will be the case because

52
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: he will be participating out here with the starters in

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:10,919
Speaker 1: pads and going at it there, and in coach's mind,

54
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 1: that kind of practice this week is enough prep for

55
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 1: his starters and you don't risk injury as a result

56
00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: in a game. I'm sure the way they played against

57
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: Denver probably gave him some comfort too, that they're not

58
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:28,360
Speaker 1: going to show up flat or rusty and six touchdowns

59
00:03:28,360 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: on your first six possessions. That'll work. Yeah, I mean

60
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: that's like, okay, well what are we doing here. Let's

61
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: go ahead and get ready. They probably start. Obviously, they

62
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: got a lot of work to do with the cutdowns,

63
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 1: and they're gonna fine tune their roster. I would probably

64
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,360
Speaker 1: venture to guess forty five of the guys they know

65
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: right now, they're thereabouts maybe even more than that, right maybe,

66
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: And what I mean by that is even beyond your

67
00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,160
Speaker 1: fifty three because Brandon Bean said it the other day,

68
00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: we probably know in the upper fifties who we're keeping,

69
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: which which makes sense because yes, it's a fifty three

70
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 1: man roster, but between now and the time you have

71
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 1: to make the fifty three man roster, you may have

72
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 1: three or four injuries, so you better know who you're

73
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 1: fifty eight to sixty. That's right, and it's and it's different,

74
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:20,479
Speaker 1: but because of the positions and the flexibility that you

75
00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 1: need out of those. But yeah, they they know for

76
00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 1: sure the fifty three to a large extent, but they

77
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: also want to work the fifty three is we've all

78
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: talked about, and there's all these machinations about you cut

79
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 1: this guy, bring him back. He cut this guy knowing

80
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: nobody will pick him up, but you really want him,

81
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:44,000
Speaker 1: so you bring him back, or you waive this guy,

82
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: or you put this guy out because you know you

83
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: can get him back on your practice squad. All of

84
00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 1: that stuff's going on, and they make educated guesses sometimes

85
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:56,720
Speaker 1: about who would be available once they're cut from the

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,040
Speaker 1: bills to come back in twenty four hours. There's some

87
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:02,039
Speaker 1: of that going on as well, because it gives you

88
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: some flexibility with your fifty three man roster, because if

89
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:06,560
Speaker 1: a guy's not on your roster at the beginning of

90
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: the year, it means things. So you know, practice squad

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 1: sixteen guys, six of them can be veterans, four of

92
00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: them can be protected. All of that goes into the

93
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:22,880
Speaker 1: stew and it gets stirred up and they got to

94
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: come out with the guys. But they know, large and

95
00:05:24,760 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 1: large measure who there roster fifty three is going to

96
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,000
Speaker 1: be right. There may be one or two guys that

97
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,520
Speaker 1: are who's who are hanging in the balance as far

98
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 1: as the decision makers for the roster, Yeah, because that

99
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: can make a difference in this game on Friday, Yeah,

100
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: and put themselves on or off the roster in some cases. Yeah,

101
00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,480
Speaker 1: or the practice squad. McDermott said, there's guys like that.

102
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: They're guys out there. But here's the thing. If if

103
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: this here's for instance, if this defensive back or whatever

104
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make the team, well that means it doesn't necessarily

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,280
Speaker 1: mean that another defensive back will. It could be an

106
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: offensive lineman or a line back. You know, it could

107
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: be a different position because of the ripple effects of

108
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: special teams have on it. Well, if he's not gonna

109
00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:11,560
Speaker 1: make it, then we need this cover his spot that

110
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,679
Speaker 1: we thought he might play on special teams with another backup,

111
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,160
Speaker 1: So we're gonna have to keep this other guy. It's

112
00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: it's really tough because it's not just one defensive back

113
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: for another. It could be one defensive back in favor

114
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 1: of a wide receiver or vice versa. It could be

115
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,320
Speaker 1: an offensive lineman in favor of a linebacker. It could

116
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: you know, all of this stuff goes into it. So

117
00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,039
Speaker 1: it's really difficult from the outside looking in not being

118
00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:40,200
Speaker 1: privy to the conversations that happen on a daily basis

119
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 1: between Brandon being Sean McDermott, Sean McDermott, his coaching staff,

120
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: Brandon being in the coaching staff personnel department, Brandon being

121
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: his personnel department, the scouts with the coaches, the coaches,

122
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 1: with Brandon being everybody talks all the time, and they're

123
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,080
Speaker 1: talking about one thing, who's playing well, who's gonna help

124
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 1: us win games? And if this guy's on, that means

125
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: that guy's off, or it means those guys are off,

126
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: we can have this other guy on. So it's the

127
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,480
Speaker 1: skill sets. It's a jigsaw puzzle. There's no set, you know,

128
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: there's no picture that you can look at that tells

129
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: you what it's supposed to look like. You gotta pick

130
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: it and you got to choose what this team is

131
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:21,080
Speaker 1: going to be looking like. And that's it's hard, and

132
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: it takes a lot of thought and a lot of conversation.

133
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: We are talking today with you about the player on

134
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: the Bill's roster through the course of training camp in

135
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 1: the preseason that has impressed you the most. One of

136
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 1: those players that would probably fall into that category for

137
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:45,440
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott is veteran offensive lineman Bobby Hart.

138
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart. There was a question asked if coach McDermott today,

139
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,160
Speaker 1: how much has Bobby Hart improved, because, as you know,

140
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: he had to get thrown into the lineup when Dion

141
00:07:55,760 --> 00:07:59,160
Speaker 1: Dawkins is battling COVID on more than one occasion last season.

142
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: He had got contracted COVID twice last year and it

143
00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,040
Speaker 1: thrust some people into the lineup. One of them was

144
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart, who didn't play guard. He was playing the

145
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: left tackle. He had played right tackle most of his

146
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,560
Speaker 1: career and it is a different animal over there. And

147
00:08:14,640 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: he said from last year to this year, Bobby Hart

148
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 1: has improved and I quote immensely. It's clear that coach

149
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:28,880
Speaker 1: McDermott appreciates Bobby Hart's approach to the game, the improvements

150
00:08:28,880 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 1: that he's made in his individual game. And I suppose

151
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: offensive line coach Aaron Kromer deserves some credit for that

152
00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,240
Speaker 1: as well, because, as we have heard from the offensive

153
00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 1: lineman themselves, Steve he individualizes the teaching techniques that he

154
00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:44,880
Speaker 1: gives each specific lineman. He didn't teach them all the

155
00:08:44,920 --> 00:08:48,800
Speaker 1: same way. Sometimes it's position based, sometimes it's based on

156
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:53,000
Speaker 1: their individual skill set. But he caters his teaching techniques

157
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,480
Speaker 1: to the skills of the player in the position that

158
00:08:55,520 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: they play. And it's made a difference for some guys. Yeah,

159
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 1: and I'll say this too. You think about it, and

160
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 1: a guy caters or caters or tailor's his teaching to you,

161
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,080
Speaker 1: And what you do best. He The thing about it

162
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 1: is he also communicates why he's doing it. Here's here's

163
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: what you do, well, here's what you don't do, and

164
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 1: here's how we're gonna cover it up or help it

165
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:13,920
Speaker 1: get better, this and that and the other. And by

166
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: doing that with every player, every player seems feels like

167
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:22,080
Speaker 1: they have a personal relationship with him, and they play

168
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 1: hard for him because it becomes evident how much he's

169
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 1: doing to help their career. Guys respond to that, how

170
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:31,959
Speaker 1: can you not? So that's a that's a gift, and

171
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 1: that's why the guy has been around so much. That's

172
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: why he's gifted. Every player he coaches kind of feels

173
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 1: like they're getting their chance to be their best and

174
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: they've got there being coached by a guy who really

175
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: gets them and gets where they're at. And that's, you

176
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:53,679
Speaker 1: know that it should, he would think, translate into a

177
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: higher level of play. We'll see, right, but for everybody.

178
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: As blowing as the remark were from coach McDermott on

179
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: Bobby Hart, I think most of us are of the

180
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:08,400
Speaker 1: opinion he's making the roster now. For Bill's fans that

181
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:10,800
Speaker 1: haven't seen the latest edition of Bobby Hart, that might

182
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:13,800
Speaker 1: cause some consternation because there were he did have some

183
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,319
Speaker 1: struggles last year. Let's be honest about it. He's struggled,

184
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: but they have moved him inside to guard that might

185
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 1: be his best positions. Team. Oh absolutely really good in there.

186
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: And I think last even Brandon being told us that,

187
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 1: you know, he he I don't know whether he said

188
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: he can apologize to Bobby or acknowledge to Bobby when

189
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: they brought him back said listen, man, we put you

190
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 1: in the toughest spot of all we had him. They

191
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: had n't playing four spots, moving him all over the place,

192
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: never got comfortable with any of him. And let plus

193
00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:45,160
Speaker 1: face it, either tackle spot he doesn't play as well

194
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:47,520
Speaker 1: as he plays guard, but that's where he was playing here,

195
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:49,719
Speaker 1: and they, you know, they plugged the guy in. Say

196
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: hey play left tackle in the NFL. Yeah, I don't

197
00:10:53,600 --> 00:10:56,839
Speaker 1: care who you're at. That's a big ask. So he

198
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: was put into a really, really difficult position and struggled.

199
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 1: But the one and the one thing that didn't go unnoticed,

200
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 1: at least by me, was Sean McDermott said today he goes.

201
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: I really appreciated his attitude. He has really worked hard.

202
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: No job was too small. Yeah, he said nothing was

203
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,000
Speaker 1: too small. He was willing to do anything. He was

204
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:18,640
Speaker 1: willing to line up, strap it up, and go anytime

205
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 1: we asked him, anywhere we asked him, and he had

206
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: a great attitude about it. That means a lot. Makes

207
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:26,600
Speaker 1: a difference to a coach. It means a lot. And

208
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: it's not only did coach, but the guys around him,

209
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 1: because if he's not doing it, one of them is

210
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:34,520
Speaker 1: going to do it, you know. And it's and while

211
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 1: everybody wants to play, everybody can acknowledge how tough a

212
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:40,280
Speaker 1: spot he was in. So I think by doing that

213
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: he earned their respect, you know, in a culture sense.

214
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,199
Speaker 1: And then because of his hard work and their ability

215
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,079
Speaker 1: to make and take all the other stuff off his

216
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: plate and will give him a chance to be successful.

217
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,760
Speaker 1: You know, he's rewarded that so far in training camp.

218
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: So it's looking good for Bobby Hard coming down to

219
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: the wire here. But we're asking you at eight one eight, eight,

220
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,160
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, which Bill's player has

221
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 1: impressed you the most through the preseason so far? Um,

222
00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: do you have a name at the top of your list,

223
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: Steve in terms of who what Bill's player on this

224
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:17,680
Speaker 1: roster has impressed you the most start to finish here, Yeah,

225
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: I mean it's hard to it's hard to look the

226
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,680
Speaker 1: other way with Khalil Shakirstan in there because he's gotten

227
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: a ton of reps um and he's made the most

228
00:12:26,440 --> 00:12:28,560
Speaker 1: of him. He hasn't he hasn't fallen down. He hasn't

229
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 1: made a single glaring mistake. Now he may have met

230
00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: run the wrong route some here we're here there, we

231
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: would never know, but nothing has stood out to us

232
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: as being wow, that's a rookie mistake kind of he

233
00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: hasn't done that. I've also been impressed with James Cook,

234
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 1: no question, but how you know all these guys Bernard

235
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 1: and I think Benford has been the biggest surprise. I

236
00:12:49,160 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: mean he's comfortable in zero expectations. He's out there rotating

237
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:59,040
Speaker 1: in with with the ones today. Well that's been the

238
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 1: case for a while now. I mean that was going

239
00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,880
Speaker 1: on all the way back at training. I mean he's

240
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,160
Speaker 1: burst onto the scene in a big way. And I

241
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: and you know, if you'd go buy their draft status,

242
00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:13,040
Speaker 1: Shaquier probably had higher expectations than Benford did, and they've

243
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: both come through with flying colors. They've exceeded expectations. I

244
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: think that's safe to say. I'm going with a veteran

245
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: player at the top of my list, Steve, a veteran

246
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 1: player who has not gotten a lot of time on

247
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: the field at his respective position, but has through the

248
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 1: course of preseason and the training camp. Jaquan Johnson has

249
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 1: taken another step in his development of as a player

250
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,559
Speaker 1: in my estimation, and I really think he's playing the

251
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:41,920
Speaker 1: best football I've seen him play, and he's doing it

252
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: in consistent fashion. Sure, the interception that he got in

253
00:13:44,920 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: the first preseason game was a gift, it was an overthrow,

254
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:50,319
Speaker 1: but you also got to be in the right place

255
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: at the right time. And I think his run fits

256
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:58,199
Speaker 1: his reads in coverage, they've all been good. He just

257
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,840
Speaker 1: looks like a guy that's ready to start. Art Now,

258
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: that's obviously not gonna happen as long as Poyer and

259
00:14:03,400 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: Hider here, but to me, in what I've seen from

260
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: him this year, he is starter ready in year four. Um,

261
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: who knows. Maybe he was that last year, but I'm

262
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: noticing it now, and it's because he's had the chance

263
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: to play as much as he had with Poyer out

264
00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: with the elbow, and we still think we still have

265
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,320
Speaker 1: the same opinion of him we always have without having

266
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: this kind of this many reps to look at. And

267
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: I think the fact that he has played so well

268
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: gives you an idea as to why you know he's

269
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: he is who he is, and he's been here for

270
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,480
Speaker 1: this long. Um. You know the people who are watching

271
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: msgyear watching the interception against the Colts, um what I

272
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:45,000
Speaker 1: liked about it, certainly, it was a it was an

273
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 1: easy interception for a guy you know as an overthrow

274
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 1: and he's happening right at him. But what he did

275
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,200
Speaker 1: after he had the ball in his hands, I think

276
00:14:52,400 --> 00:14:56,840
Speaker 1: sets him apart um. There there was no going down

277
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 1: he was he was getting to the end zone. And

278
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 1: if you're a pro football player, you always have the

279
00:15:04,520 --> 00:15:10,720
Speaker 1: responsibility of doing the utmost, taking them upmost chance and

280
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: making the best play possible and just picking the ball off.

281
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:16,320
Speaker 1: Great play, awesome, but picking it off and then running

282
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 1: through the entire offensive line trying to tackle you and

283
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,640
Speaker 1: getting through that and getting into the end zone. That's

284
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 1: a pro. That's a that's a guy who's not satisfied

285
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: and who always does what's best. And it sounds simple

286
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
Speaker 1: like of course you're gonna try. How many times have

287
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: you seen guys just kind of run out of bounds

288
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 1: take it? You know what I mean? They can you know,

289
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: the slide even slide and certainly when you're up three

290
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 1: touchdowns in the game and it's and the time's winding down. Yeah, okay,

291
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:43,040
Speaker 1: I get it, but I like the fact that it

292
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: was not enough just to pick it off. He got

293
00:15:45,120 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: another fifteen twenty yards of field position, and and just

294
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:51,520
Speaker 1: the way it's just the little things like that, and

295
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,960
Speaker 1: you can say, well, he's just playing football. I get it,

296
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: but it's not and every you don't see every guy

297
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,040
Speaker 1: do that. You don't see every guy do that, and

298
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: it says something about him and the way he's played

299
00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: and the fact that he's mixing it up, sticks his

300
00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: nose in the run game, all of that stuff. I just,

301
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, it's easy to see why the guy has

302
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:21,280
Speaker 1: a lot of faith from this coaching staff. Yeah, there

303
00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 1: are other players that we can list, but we want

304

00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,680
Speaker 1: Bills player that's impressed you the most through the preseason

309
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 1: so far with one game to play. Some NFL news

310
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: and notes out there. It looks like the Giants are

311
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: getting a wide receiver back off the pub list and

312
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: at practice today coming off and achilles injury is wide

313
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 1: receiver Sterling Shepherd, So good news for them there. They

314
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,680
Speaker 1: do have a rookie and Wandale Robinson who has been

315
00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:02,920
Speaker 1: working a lot in the slot, but Sterling Shepherd is

316
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 1: their veteran slot receivers, so we'll see how that all

317
00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:09,360
Speaker 1: shakes out. There was some interesting news concerning the Dolphins.

318
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,840
Speaker 1: There are reports out there that the Dolphins have brought

319
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: up tight end Mike Gisicki's name to other teams in

320
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: roster conversations. As we know, gisicky is playing on the

321
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:26,399
Speaker 1: franchise tag this year, a guaranteed ten point nine million,

322
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 1: so there was no contract extension negotiated successfully between the

323
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 1: two parties. So I don't know how you move a

324
00:17:36,600 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 1: guy on a franchise tag because you can't do anything

325
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: with his contract, you know what I mean? So how

326
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,680
Speaker 1: many teams out there are willing to swallow eleven million

327
00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: dollar cap figure? Do you know what I mean, Like, well,

328
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: here's the thing. If you and here's why, you trade

329
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:54,560
Speaker 1: for him. And once he's in your building and you've

330
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:58,320
Speaker 1: traded for him, he's got he's got all kinds of

331
00:17:58,440 --> 00:18:00,600
Speaker 1: leverage on your organization to get whatever you can get

332
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: out of you because you just traded whatever you traded

333
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,080
Speaker 1: to get him. And now if you to get your

334
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: money's worth, you gotta get this sea. You gotta get

335
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: years out of his career. Well, you gotta sign him

336
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,640
Speaker 1: to a new contract that you're not allowed to negotiate, Yeah,

337
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: until after the season's over. So he comes out, has

338
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,479
Speaker 1: an all pro season and you don't have him locked up.

339
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: That's what happened to the Houston Texans with the offensive

340
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:29,080
Speaker 1: tackle from Miami, Laramie Tunsel. They draft him, didn't have

341
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:32,840
Speaker 1: a new contract, and he raked him over the coals. Yeah,

342
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 1: so that's a tough sell unless you get him for

343
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,159
Speaker 1: nothing or next to nothing. Why would Cincinnati let him

344
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 1: go when they're ready to pay him twelve million or mine?

345
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: Why would they let him go when they're waiting and

346
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:50,520
Speaker 1: pay him that much. It's peculiar. My only suspicion is

347
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:56,240
Speaker 1: that Mike McDaniel after being around him on a daily basis,

348
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 1: and then seeing what he has to offer, none of

349
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: which includes blocking. By the way that he feels he's

350
00:19:06,160 --> 00:19:09,240
Speaker 1: got more well rounded tight ends on the roster. Let's

351
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: not forget they did make Hunter Long a draft pick

352
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. The Boston college kid. He

353
00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 1: too is at the tight end position. Durham Smythe is

354
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 1: kind of a steady, all around tight end. He's not

355
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: a world beater, but he's a you know, he's a steady,

356
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: do everything type tight end. Maybe Mike McDaniel wants tight

357
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,400
Speaker 1: ends with a better complete skill set. You have enough

358
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,520
Speaker 1: true receivers and this guy is like a tight receiver.

359
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:37,760
Speaker 1: He's a huge target, but he's undersized as a tight end.

360
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,680
Speaker 1: Yeah he's an oversized receiver. Yes he's heavier than a

361
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:44,600
Speaker 1: wide receiver, but he's not as fast and you know,

362
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:50,560
Speaker 1: he's limited. You can call him a tight end. But yeah,

363
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,120
Speaker 1: he's good. He's a good player, but he's he's a matchup,

364
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,920
Speaker 1: is what he is for Miami. He's an offensive matchup,

365
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: not in the run game, but in the passing game.

366
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: You have a defense has to decide are they going

367
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:02,800
Speaker 1: to put a dB on him or are they going

368
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 1: to put a linebacker out there and treat him as

369
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: a tight end. I think most defense would you say, listen,

370
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: we're treating this guy's a tight end. We're gonna put

371
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: a safety on him because he doesn't run better. He

372
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,920
Speaker 1: doesn't run better than a safety, or put put our

373
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: fourth corner on him or a third corner on him. Yeah,

374
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: just treat him like a dB, like he's a wide

375
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:23,960
Speaker 1: receiver and in the run game. Who cares the guy's

376
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: a liability for them? For the Dolphins. I just it's

377
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: interesting to me. You franchise him and then you come

378
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 1: to this decision where you say, oh, but would you

379
00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: be interested and you want to pay for this guy?

380
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean, we've seen franchise tag players

381
00:20:41,560 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: traded before, and maybe they're convinced they have no hope

382
00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: of signing him to a contract extension in the offseason,

383
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,000
Speaker 1: so they say, well, let's try to get something for

384
00:20:52,160 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: him now. But with that tag on, we just said

385
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: he's not worth the tag, Right, But that's your fault.

386
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: Why'd you tag him then? Right? Move him before you

387
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 1: had to tag him? Right, you're right, you're right, But

388
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: that's that's where they're at he's not. He's a he's

389
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 1: a very good receiving tight end. And that's where it ends.

390
00:21:17,960 --> 00:21:20,280
Speaker 1: You fouled it up though in terms of yeah, it's

391
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:21,960
Speaker 1: like you put the card before the horse. It's almost

392
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: like the Dolphins have more on their plate than just him,

393
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: Like you know, they they're trying to trying to lure

394
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,600
Speaker 1: Tom Brady away. They're trying to well, yeah, they had

395
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,120
Speaker 1: other things on their agenda. Hired a brand new head coach,

396
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,760
Speaker 1: they fired another one. They're getting sued. Yeah, they got

397
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,359
Speaker 1: maybe Becausiki was down the list on priorities and they

398
00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 1: didn't realize. Now they're just getting around. Oh my gosh.

399
00:21:44,520 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 1: A little bit of sad news. Len Dawson, Hall of

400
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,320
Speaker 1: Fame quarterback with the Chiefs passed away at age eighty seven.

401
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 1: He had been dealing with an illness and I was

402
00:21:54,240 --> 00:21:57,480
Speaker 1: not aware of this, but he was Steve Tasker's number

403
00:21:57,520 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 1: one player. As a kid, I grew up in Kansas.

404
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,679
Speaker 1: Was a big Chiefs fan. I was born in obviously

405
00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: sixty two, So when I was eight years old or so,

406
00:22:05,720 --> 00:22:09,520
Speaker 1: they were winning. They were doing really well. Lenny Dawson,

407
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: Otis Taylor, ed Podelac, Willie Lanier, Buck Buchanan, Carry Reardon,

408
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: Gerald Wilson, Jan Stenerude, Bobby Bell. They had some Yeah,

409
00:22:26,160 --> 00:22:28,399
Speaker 1: they had some guys and I've had and I have

410
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 1: now since you know, my professional career that I've had

411
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: a chance to meet and get you know, say hello

412
00:22:35,280 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 1: to all those guys. Lynn Dawson being one of the

413
00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: most prominent. I've worked with lenn a couple of times

414
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: on for this, that and the other, just interviews and

415
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: stuff like that. He worked on inside the NFL for

416
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: for years. He was an icon and he was very

417
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: good on the air. He was also a sports director

418
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: while he was playing. His supports director for an affiliate

419
00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: in Kansas City. And they win the World Championship one

420
00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: year while he's doing it. The next year, they're not

421
00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: playing so well, and they're saying that it's the reason.

422
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:00,920
Speaker 1: It's because he's well. I wasn't when we won the

423
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: World Championship. I was fun, right, It's the way we

424
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: are as a society, right. So Lynn Dawson, what a

425
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:12,680
Speaker 1: great dude. That's a sad day for Kansas City Chiefs fans.

426
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: He was an iconic broadcaster, an iconic player, world champion quarterback,

427
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,920
Speaker 1: a Hall of Famer and uh and it was. He

428
00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:28,160
Speaker 1: was the ninth of eleven children in his family, born

429
00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,160
Speaker 1: and raised in Ohio, went to Purdue University. And he's

430
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: dead at eighty seven. It's it's it's sad, pretty full

431
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:40,800
Speaker 1: life though, all things considered, eighty seven is a good run. Um, hell,

432
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: I'd be happy. I'd be happy if I get to

433
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:46,800
Speaker 1: eighty seven. That's a pretty good run. Yeah, but yeah,

434
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,879
Speaker 1: sad to see his passing. Condolences to the Dawson family.

435
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: Did you see what Sammy Watkins said Steve about playing

436
00:23:56,320 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: with MVP quarterbacks? As we know, he's played with Patrick

437
00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: Mahomes and Lamar Jackson the past four seasons. Now he'll

438
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,160
Speaker 1: be playing with Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay. So Watson

439
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 1: or Watkins sorry, was asked by his teammate Randall Cobb

440
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: to compare Mahomes with Rogers, and Watkins said, I think

441
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,720
Speaker 1: Pat is incredibly good, but Rogers is on a whole

442
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:29,320
Speaker 1: other level. Said he's amazing how he controls the ball,

443
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: how he puts everyone in place. I've been with a

444
00:24:31,880 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks and I've never seen them carry themselves

445
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,720
Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers. Now for me, you said that you

446
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: had the great questions. We are all texting about this

447
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,200
Speaker 1: and the crew, and you had the great question, which

448
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:46,120
Speaker 1: is has not been asked, yes, which is I wonder

449
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: what all those quarterbacks think of Let's go back in

450
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 1: time and see what all these guys that he's played

451
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: with say about him. Yeah, because he's been around the block.

452
00:24:54,800 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: Remember he was in he was in LA first after

453
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:01,480
Speaker 1: he left Buffalo sometime. If you're that talented and you've

454
00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: played for five NFL teams in eight seasons, there's there's

455
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: a reason it's you. There's a reason it's not It's

456
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: not them, it's you. So yeah, I don't know. I

457
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: don't know if it's a fair comparison, because in my estimation,

458
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:18,920
Speaker 1: they're two completely different quarterbacks. Rogers is a quarterback that

459
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 1: can move around in his mobile and can extend plays

460
00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: when necessary, but more often than not, he delivers the

461
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: football quickly before he even has to go into a

462
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: scape mode where Mahomes will extend to play, much like

463
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:33,119
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. And to me, I don't know, to me,

464
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:36,160
Speaker 1: it's apples and oranges. I will say this, I don't

465
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:38,080
Speaker 1: know if I've ever seen a quarterback more accurate than

466
00:25:38,119 --> 00:25:40,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. I mean he could drop it on a

467
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: dime thirty yards away. Holmes is accurate off of like, yeah,

468
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: he's actually off platform. Yeah, they're both great, and you're right,

469
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 1: it's a it's what do you like in a quarterback?

470
00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: You know you can win with both of those? You

471
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,119
Speaker 1: can well, obviously you can win a world championship with

472
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 1: either one of them. They both done it. Aaron's different,

473
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:06,960
Speaker 1: and I think as a receiver you would notice the

474
00:26:07,119 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: differences when you practice with the guys, right whatever there,

475
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 1: But Mahomes is I'm sure and we heard it before

476
00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: we ever saw him start, when we heard rumblings like, hey,

477
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: Mahome is gonna kill it when he took over for

478
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,840
Speaker 1: Alex Smith and people in training camp that next year

479
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: is second year when they he was the MVP. We're

480
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: telling people in the preseason like this guy is gonna

481
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 1: knock it out of the park way, do you see?

482
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:33,159
Speaker 1: So guys know when they practice with these guys, And

483
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:36,119
Speaker 1: I'm sure Sammy stepping onto the field with Aaron Rodgers

484
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 1: is no different no matter who he's played with. Right,

485
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: let's go to the phones at eight three five fifty one,

486
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: eighty eight five fifty two five fifty open line for

487
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,640
Speaker 1: you there, we're asking you which player and the Bills

488
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: roster has impressed you most through the course of the preseason,

489
00:26:52,359 --> 00:26:56,720
Speaker 1: and leading us off today is Bobby and Rochester. Bobby,

490
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: what do you got for us here on one Bills Live. Yes,

491
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: I watched the game last week and I thought that

492
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:07,719
Speaker 1: black Year really impressed me. What'd you like about him

493
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,640
Speaker 1: the most? Wow? I thought he was really every time

494
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,440
Speaker 1: he got the ball, he seems to really be able

495
00:27:15,480 --> 00:27:19,639
Speaker 1: to move it far. Yeah, I would agree with that.

496
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,520
Speaker 1: It's very evident on tape that he has some juice.

497
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,040
Speaker 1: Thanks for it, called Bobby. He has built up a

498
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 1: following since the preseason started, and I mean it's a

499
00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,600
Speaker 1: guy that not only is considered at running back. I

500
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 1: think evidence of the juice that he brings on the

501
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 1: field with his explosive burst is exemplified by his use

502
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:46,840
Speaker 1: on special teams as a return candidate as well. He's

503
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:48,960
Speaker 1: got a running style that you know, we've seen these

504
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,719
Speaker 1: guys and we kind of get to know him by

505
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: the way they carry the football. He's got this one

506
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 1: cut and go style and he is he does seem

507
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: to be a little bit more explosive than Singletary or

508
00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:06,159
Speaker 1: Moss anyway, just just in the open field. When he

509
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 1: turns the corner, he seems to be he can scoot.

510
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 1: And we saw him with the ball in his hands

511
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,680
Speaker 1: and it looked pretty good. And I get it. I'm

512
00:28:15,800 --> 00:28:21,359
Speaker 1: hesitant to jump on the bandwagon for any young running

513
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: back because there seems to be so many of them.

514
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,800
Speaker 1: And I made the statement here on this show yesterday

515
00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 1: and the Day's Pass, and Bobby from Rochester she sees it.

516
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: But I think there are guys like Raheem Blackshear just

517
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:37,000
Speaker 1: on just about every team. There are guys young running

518
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: backs who are fresh coming out of college who were

519
00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: really good at that level and have something to offer.

520
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: There's no question a lot of them probably could play

521
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL, but they only carry three or four

522
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 1: of them on a team, and some of the guys

523
00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,760
Speaker 1: in the league are still pretty good. It's hard to

524
00:28:50,800 --> 00:28:54,440
Speaker 1: get on a team as a running back, particularly as

525
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,400
Speaker 1: a backup running back, because then you got to change

526
00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 1: over and do special teams, and some of you guys

527
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: to have no dune and outside of maybe returning kickoffs.

528
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: So while I agree with you, Raheem black Shear played

529
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: really well this last week and has played well throughout

530
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 1: training camp. I would hesitate to throw one of the

531
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 1: other running backs in the room away to keep him. Yeah,

532
00:29:20,080 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: not that he wouldn't play well, right, But I don't

533
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,280
Speaker 1: know how much of a difference there is between Devin Singletary,

534
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 1: Raheem black Shear, Zach Moss, and Duke Johnson, and maybe

535
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,360
Speaker 1: James Cook and perhaps he gets, you know, an opportunity

536
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,239
Speaker 1: on the team's practice squad. We'll just have to wait

537
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,800
Speaker 1: and see what the decisions are when they come down

538
00:29:37,240 --> 00:29:39,640
Speaker 1: within the week. We have to take a break here,

539
00:29:39,720 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: but more of your phone calls when we come back.

540
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,240
Speaker 1: What Bill's player has impressed you the most through the

541
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: course of the preseason? Give us your choice on the

542
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:52,520
Speaker 1: phones eight oh three, five fifty one fifty two, five

543
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: fifty or on the tweet sheet add One Bills Live

544
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,440
Speaker 1: more of your comments next. We're back in two minutes.

545
00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:11,200
Speaker 1: All right, welcome back to One Bills Live. Chris Brown,

546
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,160
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker with you. I'm going to get right back

547
00:30:14,200 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 1: to the phones as we have been asking you today,

548
00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 1: what player on the Bill's roster has impressed you the most.

549
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 1: We'll get to some of your comments on the tweet

550
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: sheet as well. But we go to the phones first,

551
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: and there we've got Doc in Williamsville waiting. Doc. What

552
00:30:28,400 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 1: you got for us? You're on one Bills live. Well,

553
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:33,080
Speaker 1: it's really not a question about what player impressed me

554
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: the most. I was wondering why the Bills allowed Tradavious

555
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: White to use his own surgeon for his knees. To

556
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,240
Speaker 1: agree with the facilities we have here for the Western

557
00:30:44,320 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 1: the Ark Bills probably the best in the National Football League.

558
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: This seems to be the reason they have a quandary

559
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,080
Speaker 1: when they can activate him. No, I think, I think

560
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, and I would agree there

561
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: was a little bit of disconnect discont I think there

562
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: was a little muddled conversation about what people thought Brandon

563
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 1: being meant and what he actually said. Here's the thing.

564
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: Every player has the option of going there in the

565
00:31:13,760 --> 00:31:16,080
Speaker 1: country and if yeah, so they get to pick their

566
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 1: own surgeon. If he wanted to go to David Andrews

567
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,520
Speaker 1: out in Aspen and have the world's top knee guy

568
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: do it, so be it. The Bills won't say too

569
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,440
Speaker 1: much about it. Bruce did that all the time. Bruce,

570
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:30,640
Speaker 1: you get a pick who you who works on your body.

571
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:36,800
Speaker 1: That's doctor Stedman's that's a given um the different disconnect

572
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,920
Speaker 1: and one of the things, because Brandon referred to it

573
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 1: as we want to make sure that once you go

574
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,120
Speaker 1: to another doctor, when you go for a checkup, you

575
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,760
Speaker 1: want that doctor look at it. And then when you're

576
00:31:48,760 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: talking about getting better and rehab and you want that

577
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 1: doctor to have some say in it. So that doctor's

578
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: conversation has to mesh. And in my experience, the doctor

579
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 1: in Colorado or wherever it was he got he did it.

580
00:32:01,720 --> 00:32:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was at that clinic. I'm

581
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 1: just using his example. Wherever he got that done. The doctor,

582
00:32:09,200 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 1: if he's worth anything, will say what do your guys think?

583
00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 1: Because you've got a building full of professionals who are

584
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: really good at it, and he's there every day. So

585
00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 1: what the doctor usually does is here's what I'm thinking,

586
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: what do you guys think? And they think, well, that's good.

587
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 1: What about this and this? And he says, yeah, you

588
00:32:27,240 --> 00:32:29,320
Speaker 1: know what, that's better, let's do it. You're and bingo

589
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:31,800
Speaker 1: bengo bongo. That's how it doesn't. So that's the only

590
00:32:31,840 --> 00:32:35,680
Speaker 1: conversation that happens. Those people are usually in lockstep. Whether

591
00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:39,840
Speaker 1: they're people did the knee surgery or somebody else, it's

592
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:44,040
Speaker 1: an open conversation because, let's face it, all the people

593
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:47,760
Speaker 1: involved have ter davis best interest in heart, including the

594
00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. I mean, certainly they want him on the field,

595
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:51,840
Speaker 1: but they want the guy at his best because they

596
00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,240
Speaker 1: know this is just one year out of what hopes

597
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:59,000
Speaker 1: to be a fifteen or double digit career. So double

598
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:03,560
Speaker 1: digit year career. So yeah, don't worry about that. There's

599
00:33:03,600 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 1: some sort of conflict there about Tredevius' rehab. I do

600
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:12,280
Speaker 1: not believe there is at all, even though Brandon alluded

601
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: to meshing those two things together. The doctors who did

602
00:33:15,320 --> 00:33:17,840
Speaker 1: the surgery and the people here in Buffalo who are

603
00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:21,160
Speaker 1: going to administer the rehab, don't think that there's a

604
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,280
Speaker 1: conflict there. But because I would be shocked if there

605
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: was even a raised eyebrow on one side or the other.

606
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:30,760
Speaker 1: Those people are are together, and Tardavius is okay with

607
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: that as well, and you have to be quite frankly,

608
00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: everybody's got to be on the same page and agree

609
00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:40,200
Speaker 1: on the plan going forward. But I will agree he's right.

610
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: There was a little bit of muddled conversation about how

611
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 1: smooth that went and how easy it was, But I

612
00:33:46,280 --> 00:33:49,040
Speaker 1: don't believe there was any conflict there. Let's go to

613
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet at One Bill's Live and tweet sheet,

614
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official equipment

615
00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,840
Speaker 1: moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Jeremy leads us off

616
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: today and says, to me, it's been Zack Moss. I

617
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:05,160
Speaker 1: think he got offended when the team drafted Cook and

618
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 1: signed Duke Johnson. He has played like this is his

619
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: last shot. That could be the case. It's hard to

620
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: know exactly what Zimo's motivation is. I do know that

621
00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 1: he's a lot healthier than he was last year at

622
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: this time. As we know, he broke his ankle in

623
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 1: the playoff game against Indianapolis in the twenty twenty playoffs,

624
00:34:28,120 --> 00:34:31,800
Speaker 1: and Brandon being shared with us that he was really

625
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:36,520
Speaker 1: never one hundred percent right coming off that injury last year.

626
00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 1: It impacted his ability to cut off his left foot,

627
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,520
Speaker 1: as he was still, you know, not really one hundred

628
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 1: percent right, and it made a difference in his play.

629
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:49,920
Speaker 1: And I think we've seen a little bit more explosiveness

630
00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:54,239
Speaker 1: out of him, a little sharper cutting ability, and it's

631
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: because he feels good now, he's had a good preseason.

632
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:03,000
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's not a bad choice. Yeah, no question,

633
00:35:03,120 --> 00:35:07,000
Speaker 1: And you're right. For some guys, it's hard sitting there

634
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: and looking around saying, oh, they drafted a guy competition

635
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,880
Speaker 1: and my spots. Everybody played a little bit better. It

636
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 1: does light of fire, There's no doubt about it. So yeah,

637
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:19,320
Speaker 1: and perhaps he has played like that. Jack on the

638
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: tweet sheet says on offense, Quintin Morris, he has flashed

639
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 1: and made plays when called upon. I think they'll keep

640
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,879
Speaker 1: three tight ends. Knox is here. Howard's cap hit means

641
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:34,919
Speaker 1: he'll be also has Morris unseated Sweeney on d it's

642
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,880
Speaker 1: Brandon Bryant. He played like his hair was on fire.

643
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 1: I think they keep five dts for rotation. All right,

644
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:45,040
Speaker 1: so let's start with Quintin Morris. Steve he's certainly flashed

645
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:50,440
Speaker 1: through the course of training camp and the preseason. What

646
00:35:50,600 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: do we think three tight ends or four tight ends?

647
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 1: I think three with Gillium at fullback three plus yeah,

648
00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 1: and well Gian which is kind of like three and

649
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 1: a half tight ends, right, and it's like whatever it

650
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,080
Speaker 1: is four and a half running back. So I think

651
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:14,359
Speaker 1: Gillian's versatility really gives them some some leeway to keep

652
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 1: one less at that spot. We'll see, but yeah, I

653
00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:21,040
Speaker 1: agree with that. Quentin Morris has had a very You

654
00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 1: and I both noticed him and talked about him here

655
00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:29,280
Speaker 1: on the show. Ye Brandon Bryant, he's right a defensive tackles.

656
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 1: His best preseason game was this past one. I think

657
00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:34,000
Speaker 1: Brandon Bryan he was making a difference. They even moved

658
00:36:34,080 --> 00:36:36,680
Speaker 1: him out to end for a stretch to see what

659
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of versatility he could offer. And we heard Leslie

660
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: Frasiers say yesterday that the biggest step up in Brandon

661
00:36:44,080 --> 00:36:47,279
Speaker 1: Bryant's game is the mental side. He's recognizing down in

662
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: distant situations, alignments in front of him from the offensive aligneman,

663
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,279
Speaker 1: and it's made a difference in the consistency of his play.

664
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:59,640
Speaker 1: And to me, that clearly carries weight with this coaching staff.

665
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,000
Speaker 1: When you can be a cerebral player in addition to

666
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 1: being a physically gifted player, that's the holy grail, right right,

667
00:37:07,560 --> 00:37:10,480
Speaker 1: When all the nuances of the position come naturally and

668
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:12,279
Speaker 1: you don't have to think about them too much, they

669
00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: put you on another level. I'm just not convinced how

670
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:18,160
Speaker 1: the breakdown is gonna go on the defensive line. Do

671
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:20,880
Speaker 1: they keep five ends and four dts or do they

672
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:25,399
Speaker 1: keep five dts and four ends? That is the debate here,

673
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,480
Speaker 1: because I think nine is about the right number for

674
00:37:29,600 --> 00:37:33,399
Speaker 1: how many defensive linemen are on this roster, the fifty three.

675
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,439
Speaker 1: But what's the breakdown between dts and d ns. Which

676
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:42,640
Speaker 1: way do you think of falls five dts or five

677
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,880
Speaker 1: ends and four of the other might be five dts,

678
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:50,800
Speaker 1: you think so, Yeah, I don't know it. Yeah, I

679
00:37:50,840 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: mean it could be five and five for all we know.

680
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 1: But if that fifth defensive end also plays on special teams,

681
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:00,759
Speaker 1: that could tip the scales. Yeah, I don't see any

682
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: of those guys doing that. I don't either. Some of

683
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,560
Speaker 1: them lined up there in the preseason, but I don't

684
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: know that they're going to be there in the regular seas.

685
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:10,400
Speaker 1: Don't think they're gonna do that. I don't Rousseau doesn't,

686
00:38:11,239 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: Basham doesn't Basham has special teams experience, but I haven't

687
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:17,319
Speaker 1: seen much of them out there. I got to check

688
00:38:17,400 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: my notes. Yeah and yeah, I don't know. I think

689
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,719
Speaker 1: you can make a case for either, and I think

690
00:38:27,760 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 1: it's are you better? Is the defensive tackle better at

691
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: defensive tackle than your fifth defensive end is a defensive end.

692
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: I mean, that's a question because I don't think special

693
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: teams is gonna tip the scales in that respect because

694
00:38:41,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: none of these guys are Mark Pike, you know, right,

695
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 1: none of these guys don't run like yeah, none of

696
00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:50,600
Speaker 1: these guys are Metakevich or Taiwan Jones, you know, So

697
00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:54,040
Speaker 1: that's not going to tip the scale in this case.

698
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:57,239
Speaker 1: I don't think. Let's talk about the OJ Howard guaranteed

699
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: money in his contract. It was a one year, three

700
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 1: and a half million dollar deal. Almost three point two

701
00:39:01,960 --> 00:39:07,560
Speaker 1: of it is guaranteed, and so if you clip him,

702
00:39:08,239 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: it is a dead cap hit of three point two.

703
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,680
Speaker 1: That is a cost prohibitive situation at the time of

704
00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:16,320
Speaker 1: the year when you're trying to do just the opposite

705
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,560
Speaker 1: of that. Well, especially the Bills, who, as we heard

706
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:23,399
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean say yesterday, they're going to execute another restructured

707
00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:28,959
Speaker 1: contract negotiation because they are going to need more room

708
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,240
Speaker 1: to account for the cost difference between the top fifty

709
00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,240
Speaker 1: one players counting on your cap and the full fifty

710
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: three man roster plus the practice squad. So that will

711
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,759
Speaker 1: have to be addressed who that player is, we do

712
00:39:41,920 --> 00:39:45,000
Speaker 1: not know, although there are a couple of candidates that

713
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:48,360
Speaker 1: would make sense, Guys on long term deals who wouldn't

714
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:51,120
Speaker 1: mind seeing money go in their pocket now in the

715
00:39:51,200 --> 00:39:55,960
Speaker 1: form of bonus, like Dion Dawkins, Trudevious White, those are examples. Milano,

716
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:01,440
Speaker 1: Milano could 'ch Morris more thought Moos has already done

717
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,759
Speaker 1: it once or twice already, So I hate to see

718
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:09,759
Speaker 1: that there doesn't even hide um right, So yeah, but

719
00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:15,839
Speaker 1: short of that, you know, if he's the only way

720
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: to alleviate yourself, if some of that dead cap, if

721
00:40:19,040 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: you don't want him on your roster, is to move

722
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:24,160
Speaker 1: him via a trade um, And I don't know about

723
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:27,879
Speaker 1: the likelihood of that either. So it's it's a little

724
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:32,359
Speaker 1: bit of a hands being tied situation there with OJ

725
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: how you can get out of out from under just

726
00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:37,600
Speaker 1: about any contract, you know, and move money around and

727
00:40:37,719 --> 00:40:40,960
Speaker 1: stuff in this day and age. I just wonder how

728
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,320
Speaker 1: that's all gonna shake out At the tight end position.

729
00:40:43,600 --> 00:40:46,960
Speaker 1: I think it's one of the more muddled positions on

730
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,440
Speaker 1: the roster right now because I don't think there's like

731
00:40:49,560 --> 00:40:54,480
Speaker 1: a clear runaway favorite behind Dawson Knox. We can all

732
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:57,359
Speaker 1: speculate and say you like this guy better than that guy,

733
00:40:57,520 --> 00:41:01,120
Speaker 1: but there's no true consensus. It's like that guy's the

734
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:03,880
Speaker 1: number two, you know what I mean. Like it's Dawson,

735
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:06,919
Speaker 1: Knox and three guys and which ones are being kept.

736
00:41:07,680 --> 00:41:09,879
Speaker 1: That's that's a real question. And one of the things

737
00:41:09,920 --> 00:41:12,840
Speaker 1: that O J. Howard. You know, he caught the touchdown

738
00:41:13,040 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: in the game on Saturday, but he hasn't you know,

739
00:41:18,719 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: he hasn't even challenged Knox for the number one spot.

740
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:24,719
Speaker 1: And I don't know if they brought him in thinking

741
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: he would. But so I'm you know, I don't know

742
00:41:28,320 --> 00:41:31,759
Speaker 1: how much, you know, what that's going to do to

743
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:34,919
Speaker 1: their desire to keep him or release him or trade

744
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:37,520
Speaker 1: him or do whatever. But for now, I'm with you.

745
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna be here, no question about it.

746
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:41,560
Speaker 1: Then I think he's gonna make some plays for the club.

747
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 1: But how they use him and how that tight end

748
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 1: spot's gonna shake out has a lot to do with

749
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:52,680
Speaker 1: Sweeney and Morris more so than Howard and Knox. Yeah,

750
00:41:53,440 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: it's certainly going to be a decision that goes down

751
00:41:56,160 --> 00:41:57,920
Speaker 1: to the wire. I think there's a good chance that

752
00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:01,160
Speaker 1: all three of those guys behind Dawson I play on Friday,

753
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:06,960
Speaker 1: so it'll be one last crack to well right to

754
00:42:07,080 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 1: get through a game right, but it'll be one last

755
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,319
Speaker 1: crack for them to separate themselves individually to say hey,

756
00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:15,120
Speaker 1: I deserve to be on the roster. So that will

757
00:42:15,160 --> 00:42:17,160
Speaker 1: be one of the key positions to focus in on

758
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:20,240
Speaker 1: for Bills fans because it's a position that behind Dawson

759
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:24,399
Speaker 1: Knox is still to this point at least seemingly undecided.

760
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,759
Speaker 1: Break time for us here when we come back. More

761
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,799
Speaker 1: of your comments on the tweet sheet, and we'll see

762
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:33,480

00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 1: to the tweet chet Steve quickly. Which player has impressed

776
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:30,520
Speaker 1: you the most so far this preseason? Most says, I'm

777
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: going black Sheer hard enough to get drafted by an

778
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:37,080
Speaker 1: NFL team. He's a walk on and is impressing everyone.

779
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:42,840
Speaker 1: Now that's impressive, doesn't it seem, Steve? Over the years

780
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:48,400
Speaker 1: that the guys that the underdogs that invariably impress our

781
00:43:48,480 --> 00:43:53,439
Speaker 1: running backs. Have you noticed that? Yes, I've been talking

782
00:43:53,440 --> 00:43:56,279
Speaker 1: about it all week, ever since black Sheer had this

783
00:43:56,400 --> 00:44:03,319
Speaker 1: good game on Saturday. You remember Jonathan Taylor not Jonathan Taylor. Um,

784
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:09,040
Speaker 1: they're running back during Rex's era that ate himself out

785
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 1: of the league. Jonathan Williams, Carlos Williams. There was a

786
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 1: Jonathan Williams here also right, Carlos Williams, Christian Wade. Jonathan

787
00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,000
Speaker 1: Williams was a fifth round pick, so too was Carlos Williams.

788
00:44:22,239 --> 00:44:28,799
Speaker 1: Christian Wade, Antonio Antonio Williams. Who's another one? Just uh

789
00:44:29,640 --> 00:44:35,759
Speaker 1: Gillespie Gillis Lee he actually played though, Yeah, pretty good.

790
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 1: So it's easy because they got the ball in their

791
00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:44,480
Speaker 1: hands and everybody's watching them and you just think, wow,

792
00:44:44,600 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 1: that guy is and they are special guy that they are.

793
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:51,040
Speaker 1: They're special guys. But there seems to be a ton

794
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,200
Speaker 1: of them. Um, every really good athlete who can carry

795
00:44:55,239 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 1: the ball really well and who's fast gets a chance

796
00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:00,320
Speaker 1: to play that spot. And some of them dick with

797
00:45:00,440 --> 00:45:03,439
Speaker 1: it all the way through college, and if they don't

798
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 1: grow out of it, or if they don't grow into

799
00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:07,319
Speaker 1: it at the next level, they get moved to wide

800
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 1: receiver or whatever. If they grow out of it, they

801
00:45:09,080 --> 00:45:12,200
Speaker 1: become a tight end or whatever. And some of them

802
00:45:12,239 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: as little kids, you know, they play quarterback, then they

803
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:16,719
Speaker 1: play running back, then they play and they end up

804
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:19,080
Speaker 1: at offensive tackle. You know. That's the way it is

805
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 1: that these athletes, every guy in the National Football League,

806
00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:24,560
Speaker 1: you go talk to them, they will have played a

807
00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 1: different position at a young age. Rarely do you get

808
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 1: a kid who's been an offensive left tackle from eight

809
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:33,600
Speaker 1: years old all the way through. Most of those guys

810
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:39,560
Speaker 1: were the quarterback, so they The point is. The point

811
00:45:39,719 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 1: is all the best, the kids who were the fastest

812
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:44,680
Speaker 1: and the strongest and hold get to play running back,

813
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,279
Speaker 1: and so when you give them the ball, they know

814
00:45:48,560 --> 00:45:51,879
Speaker 1: what to do with it and they look good doing

815
00:45:51,960 --> 00:45:54,359
Speaker 1: it because the whole offense is trying to make them

816
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 1: look good. Man. So I'm with you. I like Raheem

817
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:04,120
Speaker 1: black Sheer. I problem. My problem is probably I'm a

818
00:46:04,160 --> 00:46:07,640
Speaker 1: little jaded because I played with Thurman and ain't nobody

819
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:12,920
Speaker 1: like Thurman. So maybe I don't, you know, covet these

820
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: guys like everybody else does, because it's only gonna be one.

821
00:46:18,080 --> 00:46:25,879
Speaker 1: So I get it. But he may not make the team. Yeah,

822
00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he will as good as that kid

823
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,840
Speaker 1: has been. And you got to ask yourself. Here's the question.

824
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,719
Speaker 1: You ask yourself. How good would he have had to

825
00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:40,120
Speaker 1: be to make the team? That's the that's the unbelievable question.

826
00:46:40,760 --> 00:46:43,200
Speaker 1: How what would it look like for him to come

827
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: in all of a sudden be the number one guy

828
00:46:44,680 --> 00:46:46,840
Speaker 1: coming out of training camp. What would that have to

829
00:46:46,920 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: look like. He'd have to be a world beater or

830
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,360
Speaker 1: he really would world beat He'd have to be the

831
00:46:52,400 --> 00:46:56,120
Speaker 1: best guy in the galaxy, that guy. I mean you,

832
00:46:56,320 --> 00:46:57,879
Speaker 1: you got to think about it. What would it take

833
00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: to do that to prove to this coaching staff you're

834
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:04,080
Speaker 1: better than any of these other guys. Now, maybe we've

835
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:06,520
Speaker 1: seen James Cook do it in practice because he hasn't

836
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:09,200
Speaker 1: got any reps and maybe they're saying, now, you know what,

837
00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:11,480
Speaker 1: that's the guy. I don't know, but I would be

838
00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 1: shocked if he's taken one number one reps in day

839
00:47:14,680 --> 00:47:17,000
Speaker 1: one of the first week of training camp, our first

840
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: week of the regular season and Thursday night in LA.

841
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: But you think, what would it take because we've seen

842
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:26,359
Speaker 1: it with the guys we just named. We've seen them

843
00:47:26,360 --> 00:47:29,760
Speaker 1: all come through here and wow, like Christian Wade Boom,

844
00:47:30,200 --> 00:47:34,640
Speaker 1: hand him the ball gone. I mean, how good would

845
00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:36,960
Speaker 1: you have to be? You have to do that every

846
00:47:37,000 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: preseason game on almost and every practice. Yeah, I mean

847
00:47:40,640 --> 00:47:43,640
Speaker 1: it's all probably running fifty yard house calls every player.

848
00:47:43,760 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 1: I can't think of a scenario where you could actually

849
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: play that well to do that, because it's it's a

850
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 1: hard spot to play, and as good as these guys

851
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,120
Speaker 1: have played, a ton of them get cut every year

852
00:47:55,480 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: around the league. That's something Drake is gone. Can Drake

853
00:48:00,480 --> 00:48:05,520
Speaker 1: gone from the Raiders? Yeah? Rachel on the tweet, Chet

854
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,759
Speaker 1: says James Cook, He's going to do big things and

855
00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 1: fill that missing piece on offense this season. Steve and

856
00:48:12,200 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: I have been talking about this guy since day two

857
00:48:14,000 --> 00:48:15,840
Speaker 1: with a draft, and we said, you know, if the

858
00:48:15,920 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 1: Bills have a chance, this guy might be a good fit.

859
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 1: And the Bills in fact did pick him after trading

860
00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,400
Speaker 1: down twice and making us all sweated out. Has not

861
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 1: seen a lot of action in the preseason, and Steve

862
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: has a theory about that. My theory is, secretly this

863
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: are we gonna start calling Ken Dorsey psycho anyway? That

864
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 1: would be cool. So psycho, so psych I'm not gonna

865
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: do it. So Ken Dorsey has I mean, the guy's

866
00:48:43,920 --> 00:48:49,000
Speaker 1: taken like twelve snaps total in preseason and he's not

867
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:53,800
Speaker 1: getting Annie this week, and but he's taking rips on

868
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:56,160
Speaker 1: a regular rotation during I mean he's not you know,

869
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:58,960
Speaker 1: he has an unseated Devin singletary or anything like that.

870
00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:00,480
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like he's out there all the

871
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:03,160
Speaker 1: time and then they don't. But I get the feeling

872
00:49:03,280 --> 00:49:05,920
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey has things planned for this guy. I think

873
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,839
Speaker 1: it's it's like, wait till you see him on week

874
00:49:07,920 --> 00:49:10,319
Speaker 1: one night. And the reason why is his skill set

875
00:49:10,360 --> 00:49:12,920
Speaker 1: fits with what they want to do perfectly, it seems

876
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:16,400
Speaker 1: to but I'm not sure that this is a coaching staff.

877
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 1: That's what I don't know about Ken Dorsey. I'm certainly

878
00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: I know Sean mcdermots not sitting over there saying play

879
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:24,319
Speaker 1: and play him. He's more of a guy like, let's

880
00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:26,080
Speaker 1: lee see what he can prove, earn it, give him

881
00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:28,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, and then see what he can do,

882
00:49:28,640 --> 00:49:30,440
Speaker 1: and then we'll give him a little bit more. I mean,

883
00:49:30,560 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 1: let's not I mean, guy. We can run through the

884
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,520
Speaker 1: list of players. J Panessa was a two time enacted

885
00:49:35,600 --> 00:49:37,640
Speaker 1: before he even actually got a play, right, I mean,

886
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:41,200
Speaker 1: there are a few exceptions. Tredevious White started right away.

887
00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: Russelle Dawkins started right away. Think about where the roster

888
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:48,399
Speaker 1: build though, was in twenty seventeen compared to now. Matt

889
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:50,960
Speaker 1: Mlano had to earn it. He didn't start until the

890
00:49:51,040 --> 00:49:54,360
Speaker 1: end of his rookie year. That's right. That's a pretty

891
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: darn good player. So I think he makes him earn it,

892
00:49:57,840 --> 00:50:01,160
Speaker 1: That's yeah. So I'm thinking as high as I think

893
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:06,000
Speaker 1: they might be on James Cook, I don't think he's

894
00:50:06,040 --> 00:50:07,719
Speaker 1: gonna come in and knock it out of the park,

895
00:50:08,000 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: although I've said I think he may get a handful

896
00:50:11,239 --> 00:50:13,640
Speaker 1: or more touches in the first first game. You know

897
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:15,000
Speaker 1: what I mean. I mean he's gonna be on the field.

898
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna give me and maybe it'll be situationally or

899
00:50:18,640 --> 00:50:24,719
Speaker 1: whatever best case scenario for me and my predictions. He

900
00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:28,120
Speaker 1: gets like twelve or fourteen touches in week one. That's

901
00:50:28,160 --> 00:50:31,360
Speaker 1: kind of that's kind of the same. I think that

902
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:33,680
Speaker 1: might be happening. That's the secret I think they're gonna keep.

903
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,319
Speaker 1: They may unfurl him as this secret weapon. You know, Um,

904
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: I don't know that's all gonna happen, but yeah, you know,

905
00:50:40,280 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 1: that's kind of what the feeling I get. The guy

906
00:50:42,040 --> 00:50:45,120
Speaker 1: got twelve snaps. I'm like this guy. Yeah, So we'll

907
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:48,319
Speaker 1: see break time for us here when we come back.

908
00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:52,600
Speaker 1: Practice has concluded, and we'll be bringing you comments from

909
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,759
Speaker 1: a couple of the players after today's practice. First on

910
00:50:55,840 --> 00:50:59,440
Speaker 1: the docket will be Bill's nickel corner Taryn Johnson will

911
00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,640
Speaker 1: bring his kind to your next here on one Bill's Live,

912
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 1: presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a

913
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:25,320
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker who has been all the fields. Kind of unique.

914
00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:27,000
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you.

915
00:51:27,280 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: Steve Steve a blimp. We're not even in the strated

916
00:51:33,640 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: fere of normalcy. Our number two here on a Wednesday,

917
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,680
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. Practice for the day

918
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 1: has concluded for the Bills. About fifty yards from where

919
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:50,320
Speaker 1: we sit on the grass practice field today, a couple

920
00:51:50,360 --> 00:51:54,400
Speaker 1: of players addressed the media. First. Among them was Bill's

921
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:57,839
Speaker 1: nickel cornerback Terren Johnson. Let's hear what he had to say, now,

922
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:06,680
Speaker 1: Lay it's you and like Jordan and Levis, Yeah, it's

923
00:52:06,680 --> 00:52:09,359
Speaker 1: like sort of a starting five and then you've been

924
00:52:09,440 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: most of this camp where you've been the old one

925
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: of those guys out there pretty much all the time.

926
00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:20,120
Speaker 1: Yeahs that hitting you sometimes when you're out there, Uh

927
00:52:20,680 --> 00:52:23,600
Speaker 1: a little bit sometimes, you know, But uh, when it

928
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,400
Speaker 1: really comes down to it, when I'm with the guys

929
00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,560
Speaker 1: that that I've been here since OTA's, you know, um,

930
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,440
Speaker 1: I feel like they're they're doing a great job with

931
00:52:31,640 --> 00:52:33,879
Speaker 1: making it feel regular, you know what I'm saying. They've

932
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:36,839
Speaker 1: definitely stepped up with the guys out there, so uh,

933
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:40,120
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just just getting used to it playing

934
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:44,960
Speaker 1: with a different group of guys sometimes. Think about you know,

935
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 1: there's a lot of competition at cornerback, a lot of

936
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:53,520
Speaker 1: young guys, Cam Lewis and uh, you know, the whole list. Um,

937
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: you know what, do you just think about the tough

938
00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,440
Speaker 1: decisions Brand's gonna have to make because there's a lot

939
00:52:58,480 --> 00:53:02,359
Speaker 1: of capable of players who play NFL game. I mean

940
00:53:02,440 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: it's tough. You know, that's just the business aspect of it.

941
00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,440
Speaker 1: I feel like it's we have so much competition on

942
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: this team everywhere, you know what I'm saying. So it's

943
00:53:10,719 --> 00:53:12,279
Speaker 1: just like I feel like that's a sign of a

944
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:15,239
Speaker 1: really good team, just having guys out here competing every

945
00:53:15,280 --> 00:53:18,680
Speaker 1: single day to get that job. But everybody has been

946
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:20,960
Speaker 1: doing well, everyone has been getting better. It's just all

947
00:53:20,960 --> 00:53:25,720
Speaker 1: about progression. Younger guys around you, are you doing more teaching?

948
00:53:25,840 --> 00:53:27,640
Speaker 1: And then how much of a different role is that

949
00:53:27,800 --> 00:53:30,279
Speaker 1: for you. It's like Mike said, you know, prior this year,

950
00:53:30,280 --> 00:53:32,279
Speaker 1: for the most part, it's been guys who've been in

951
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:35,560
Speaker 1: the league longer than be around. I mean, I'm getting

952
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,919
Speaker 1: a little older now, you know, so I just try

953
00:53:38,960 --> 00:53:41,480
Speaker 1: to take take what I've learned in my four or

954
00:53:41,520 --> 00:53:44,239
Speaker 1: five years and try to pass it down. You know. Um,

955
00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,680
Speaker 1: they're young guys, so they're eager to learn, and that

956
00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 1: that's a test to being on the players he's bringing

957
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:55,239
Speaker 1: in here because they're always ready to learn. Joya being

958
00:53:55,280 --> 00:53:58,120
Speaker 1: a teacher. Man, I enjoyed a little bit. I like,

959
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:06,000
Speaker 1: I just like helping, that's all. Oh. I mean we're

960
00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:09,160
Speaker 1: talking every single day, So every every day feels like

961
00:54:09,239 --> 00:54:11,439
Speaker 1: game day, you know, going against Josh and those guys,

962
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: because I mean it's a great offense, you know, and

963
00:54:14,320 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 1: I feel like going against them it's gonna make it

964
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:21,040
Speaker 1: easier on game day. So really with the trash talking,

965
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just all fun and games, you know

966
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I'm just talking out there. They just talking.

967
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:27,400
Speaker 1: I don't take it personal, and they don't take it

968
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:30,480
Speaker 1: personal either. Yeah, it's the number one defense. What do

969
00:54:30,560 --> 00:54:33,360
Speaker 1: you do to improve that and get better throughout the

970
00:54:33,440 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: course of them? I would just say just focusing on

971
00:54:36,960 --> 00:54:39,800
Speaker 1: first the details and the fundamentals first and foremost, and

972
00:54:39,840 --> 00:54:42,080
Speaker 1: then secondly, just taking the ball away more. If we

973
00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:46,480
Speaker 1: uh more opportunities we have, we gotta gotta take those

974
00:54:46,480 --> 00:54:49,160
Speaker 1: opportunities to run with it. Taking the ball away. That's

975
00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:51,600
Speaker 1: the biggest thing. I think we asked you about this

976
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: earlier in the offseason. But why again did you switch

977
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,840
Speaker 1: to number seven? Why don't that? I mean I was

978
00:54:56,840 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: seven in high school, so I just wanted to kind

979
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:01,640
Speaker 1: of get back just making sure I'm having fun out there.

980
00:55:01,719 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. I'm I'm blessed to play

981
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:04,560
Speaker 1: this game, so I don't want to take it for

982
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:08,960
Speaker 1: grant significance. When you got it, you give it to you. Uh,

983
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,239
Speaker 1: there was no real significance. I just love the number.

984
00:55:12,280 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: That's all leslie about the two rookie corners and how

985
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:20,279
Speaker 1: they have confidence, and then he was saying, you know

986
00:55:20,719 --> 00:55:23,240
Speaker 1: that's now, but when you get to the regular season,

987
00:55:23,400 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 1: there's a target on you as a rookie. Ye. Do

988
00:55:26,280 --> 00:55:28,719
Speaker 1: you think they sense that? And did you sense that

989
00:55:29,440 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 1: when you first started playing? Season comes until a little

990
00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 1: diff I don't. I don't know if they sense it.

991
00:55:36,280 --> 00:55:37,959
Speaker 1: But at the end of the day, they're gonna be ready,

992
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. If if they're gonna be

993
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:41,759
Speaker 1: targeted a lot of times, I'm sure they're gonna make

994
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:43,200
Speaker 1: a lot of plays, you know what I'm saying. So

995
00:55:43,880 --> 00:55:48,960
Speaker 1: did I feel that? Not too much when I was

996
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 1: coming in. I mean, I'm playing a little different position

997
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:54,880
Speaker 1: and the defense we didn't play, I guess as much

998
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 1: as man when I got here, you know what I'm saying.

999
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: So my position was a little bit different. But being

1000
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:01,960
Speaker 1: on the outside corner, it's a little tougher, you know,

1001
00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:05,120
Speaker 1: as far as like being able to choose one person,

1002
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: you know, so I feel like they're gonna be ready

1003
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 1: for it, whatever the challenges or a fourth round pick.

1004
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,399
Speaker 1: Christian was a sixth round pick. Nothing's given to guys

1005
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,239
Speaker 1: who are drafted in that area. You're kind of taken

1006
00:56:18,320 --> 00:56:20,160
Speaker 1: him on your wing, maybe a little bit more than

1007
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 1: you would have maybe some of the other guys, just

1008
00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: because he's kind of an underdog like you were coming in. Yeah,

1009
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,520
Speaker 1: and he's from a D double A, so you know

1010
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,759
Speaker 1: that's that's special to you know. I mean he's a

1011
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:34,239
Speaker 1: great kid, you know, very quiet, you know, but he

1012
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 1: listens well, and he's gonna go out there and do

1013
00:56:36,400 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: what he's coached to do and he's not gonna talk back.

1014
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 1: He just gonna be coachable. So just having that, I

1015
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:44,719
Speaker 1: feel like he's gonna be a really good player. Kind

1016
00:56:44,760 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: of quiet. Does he remind you of yourself a little

1017
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,839
Speaker 1: bit your first year? Maybe? I mean a little bit,

1018
00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Uh, I don't really know

1019
00:56:52,280 --> 00:56:54,920
Speaker 1: what I looked like outside my body, you know, so

1020
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:59,080
Speaker 1: so I guess, I guess. I guess I could say

1021
00:56:59,120 --> 00:57:03,319
Speaker 1: there's some similarities. Yeah, everyday in practice, going from Cole

1022
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,840
Speaker 1: last year to kind of seeing Isaiah a lot more so,

1023
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 1: I would say Cole is definitely more shifty, but Isaiah's faster,

1024
00:57:12,040 --> 00:57:14,040
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. So just having that mix up,

1025
00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:15,960
Speaker 1: and even with crowd are out there too, you know,

1026
00:57:16,200 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: it's just helping me get on my game better, and

1027
00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:19,600
Speaker 1: I feel like it's gonna prepare me wealth for the season.

1028
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: He brings kind of like that same kind of style

1029
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,600
Speaker 1: that Cole has. Isaiah is more of that like speaster guy.

1030
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: So it's always tough with that. So just to constant

1031
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 1: switch up, I feel like it's gonna help me tremendously

1032
00:57:33,640 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 1: up front. Obviously some changes there, bond headlines of that class.

1033
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: What can that do towards you said getting more turnovers

1034
00:57:39,800 --> 00:57:42,200
Speaker 1: and things like that, if those guys really getting after him,

1035
00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's everything, you know, I feel like it

1036
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 1: starts with the front. You know, if they're hunting that quarterback,

1037
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:49,760
Speaker 1: then we're gonna have a lot of opportunities out there,

1038
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: all right, that's Terran John's in addressing the media after

1039
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,600
Speaker 1: a practice. It's almost strange to think of Aran now

1040
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: is one of the elder statesmen. He's been here since

1041
00:58:00,720 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. This is season five. He's in his prime, man, man,

1042
00:58:05,560 --> 00:58:08,840
Speaker 1: that's you know, he's into his second contract. He's just

1043
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 1: an absolute fixture. Has made one of the iconic plays

1044
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 1: in franchise history. He's been on a top defense three

1045
00:58:21,240 --> 00:58:23,640
Speaker 1: at least three of the five years he's been here,

1046
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 1: it was a number three defense, then has been number one,

1047
00:58:27,240 --> 00:58:30,600
Speaker 1: He's been number five, I think last year obviously number one.

1048
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: So he's he's he's got some He's got a really

1049
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: nice resume, really nice resume. Yeah, and you can see

1050
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:40,120
Speaker 1: why he you know, they asked him about all the

1051
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 1: slot receivers he's facing. He's a man, I'm it's unbelievable

1052
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,560
Speaker 1: how much better I'm gonna get playing against these guys.

1053
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 1: And that attitude's kind of pervasive throughout the roster. That's

1054
00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:50,760
Speaker 1: kind of the guys they're looking for. And that's why

1055
00:58:50,920 --> 00:58:55,480
Speaker 1: Taran started is like who's this guy? And then all

1056
00:58:55,520 --> 00:58:58,439
Speaker 1: of a sud he's like, oh wow, he's really good. Yeah,

1057
00:58:59,120 --> 00:59:03,919
Speaker 1: there is some news concerning a former Bill's player, as

1058
00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:08,200
Speaker 1: Colts reporters out in Indy are reporting that Matt Hawk,

1059
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: who was just released on Monday, is working out for

1060
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,200
Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. For those that don't know, the Colts

1061
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:21,760
Speaker 1: just lost their punter Rigaberto Sanchez to a torn achilles

1062
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:26,040
Speaker 1: earlier in the week and so they need to replace

1063
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,200
Speaker 1: him with another punter. So Matt Hawk is getting a

1064
00:59:28,240 --> 00:59:32,600
Speaker 1: look out there along with USFL punter Colby Wadman. So

1065
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: we'll see what comes to that and if Hawk can

1066
00:59:35,200 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 1: land another job in the NFL going forward. Here. There

1067
00:59:39,360 --> 00:59:43,000
Speaker 1: is more bad news out of Colt's camp as their

1068
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:47,440
Speaker 1: former top draft choice Quitty Pay, the pass rusher, has

1069
00:59:47,480 --> 00:59:50,280
Speaker 1: suffered a knee injury in practice. The severity of that

1070
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 1: injury is not known, So tough day out there for

1071
00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:58,160
Speaker 1: Frank Reich and the crew with Quitty Pay injured after

1072
00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,440
Speaker 1: already losing their punter of the season with an achilles injury.

1073
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 1: Plus you, Steve, thank you. Um I tell you you

1074
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 1: can try to avoid injury as much as you want

1075
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,960
Speaker 1: by not putting guys in preseason games, but it can

1076
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,680
Speaker 1: still happen in practice. It's crazy, they find you, Andy,

1077
01:00:13,960 --> 01:00:20,000
Speaker 1: it's I'm you know, it just seems like some team

1078
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,440
Speaker 1: in the NFL, maybe more than one, but there's always

1079
01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:25,000
Speaker 1: one team like last year was Baltimore. I mean, they're

1080
01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:29,120
Speaker 1: they're trying to find cornerbacks off the street. Just can

1081
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:32,360
Speaker 1: somebody line up for us. It's hard to win games

1082
01:00:32,400 --> 01:00:35,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL like that. Yeah, but every year there

1083
01:00:35,080 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 1: seems to be a team like that, where you know,

1084
01:00:36,960 --> 01:00:39,040
Speaker 1: one and thirty two of these teams are gonna get

1085
01:00:39,080 --> 01:00:46,040
Speaker 1: snake bitten by an injury bug for no apparent reason. Yeah,

1086
01:00:46,200 --> 01:00:50,040
Speaker 1: and hopefully, you know, hopefully it's not your team that

1087
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,960
Speaker 1: you're cheering for, because there's no there's no calling on

1088
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,000
Speaker 1: who it's gonna be. Yeah, there's no rhyme or reason

1089
01:00:56,040 --> 01:00:57,760
Speaker 1: to it, obviously, but you're right, I mean, you hope

1090
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: you can of dodge it. But it's like the old

1091
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 1: bad luck tapshaw on the shoulder here. It is. The

1092
01:01:04,440 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Bills experienced that to some degree earlier this week, losing

1093
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,720
Speaker 1: Greg Man's to an injury in practice on Tuesday. There

1094
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:14,160
Speaker 1: is a curious case going on in Miami. This has

1095
01:01:14,200 --> 01:01:16,160
Speaker 1: kind of flown under the radar a little bit. Steve

1096
01:01:16,680 --> 01:01:19,640
Speaker 1: but wide receiver Jalen Waddle, the starting slot receiver for

1097
01:01:19,720 --> 01:01:22,560
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. He's missed most of the last two weeks

1098
01:01:22,600 --> 01:01:27,680
Speaker 1: of practice with an undisclosed injury. Missed practice again today.

1099
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:30,920
Speaker 1: He has been seen out there working with trainers on

1100
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:36,200
Speaker 1: the sideline and such. But it's gone on long enough

1101
01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,560
Speaker 1: now where people are wondering, like, how serious is this

1102
01:01:39,800 --> 01:01:44,200
Speaker 1: undisclosed injury that he has. There are some who believe

1103
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:46,840
Speaker 1: that Dolphins are just playing it's safe. There are others

1104
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,680
Speaker 1: who were concerned as to his state of readiness for

1105
01:01:49,720 --> 01:01:52,640
Speaker 1: the regular season, and then there are others who are saying, hey,

1106
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:54,840
Speaker 1: in a new offense, you've missed two weeks or reps.

1107
01:01:55,640 --> 01:01:57,840
Speaker 1: You know that's not an easy thing to come back from.

1108
01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 1: And everything be copacetic in turn. If you know you

1109
01:02:01,200 --> 01:02:04,360
Speaker 1: know in your assignments it's not nothing, it doesn't mean

1110
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:07,200
Speaker 1: it's anything serious. But if they're if it's undisclosed, I

1111
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:09,760
Speaker 1: don't know what it could be. Maybe you know, it

1112
01:02:09,840 --> 01:02:14,240
Speaker 1: could be who knows, there's no two anything I would

1113
01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:17,600
Speaker 1: say was probably unrelated to football if it was undisclosed.

1114
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,160
Speaker 1: Bottle was seen with a rap on his right leg

1115
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:24,280
Speaker 1: Wednesday and went back in with the training staff after

1116
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:29,040
Speaker 1: team stretch for practice today. Maybe you just pulled a hand.

1117
01:02:29,080 --> 01:02:31,800
Speaker 1: Could be soft tissue, yeah, something like that, or quad

1118
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 1: or something. But if they're not disclosing it, it's probably

1119
01:02:36,480 --> 01:02:42,000
Speaker 1: not serious and we'll see what happens when he returns.

1120
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: Back to the tweet sheet. As we've been asking you today,

1121
01:02:46,960 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: which players impressed you the most on the Bill's roster

1122
01:02:49,280 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: through the course of the season. Steve says, for me,

1123
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,760
Speaker 1: it's hands down. Khalil Shakir is a fifth round pick

1124
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,000
Speaker 1: out of a smaller school. He's an absolute technician as

1125
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:00,240
Speaker 1: a route runner. He's aggressive with yards after the catch,

1126
01:03:00,280 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 1: and he seems to be one hundred percent mentally prepared

1127
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,960
Speaker 1: every day. We heard offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey say that

1128
01:03:08,200 --> 01:03:11,439
Speaker 1: very thing. He said it first preseason game. He didn't

1129
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:14,000
Speaker 1: think he had any mental errors. The entire game start

1130
01:03:14,080 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 1: to finish, and they are lining him up all across

1131
01:03:16,600 --> 01:03:21,960
Speaker 1: the formation. Yeah, it's he's been impressive. And I think

1132
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,040
Speaker 1: that's the same thing we saw with the Gabe Davis

1133
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: three years ago. Four years ago when he came in

1134
01:03:25,880 --> 01:03:28,439
Speaker 1: as a rookie. He they moved him to all three

1135
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,280
Speaker 1: spots slot both wide outs, the flanker and the and

1136
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:33,960
Speaker 1: the split end, they he moved X, Y and Z

1137
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:39,320
Speaker 1: and carried it off without an issue. And I think

1138
01:03:39,360 --> 01:03:41,520
Speaker 1: that's what we're seeing from Shakier. And I think you

1139
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:46,760
Speaker 1: look at Brandon Bean and the and the the process

1140
01:03:46,960 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: they have for picking these guys and what they look

1141
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,600
Speaker 1: for they're finding it and the guys they're getting ye

1142
01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:56,600
Speaker 1: that ability to be smart enough and astute enough to

1143
01:03:56,680 --> 01:03:59,000
Speaker 1: pick it up and learn the you know, either look

1144
01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 1: at it on paper and get it, or watch it

1145
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,720
Speaker 1: on film and get it, or paper and film and

1146
01:04:03,800 --> 01:04:05,680
Speaker 1: get it, or walk through it and get it. Whatever

1147
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,160
Speaker 1: it takes to teach these guys, whatever kind of type

1148
01:04:08,160 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 1: of learning they're good at, these guys have it in

1149
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:16,360
Speaker 1: the ability to pick it up fast and on multiple levels, smart, tough,

1150
01:04:16,440 --> 01:04:20,680
Speaker 1: and dependable. Simply put Michael on the tweet sheet, says

1151
01:04:20,960 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins. I believe as a little Andre in him.

1152
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:28,640
Speaker 1: Plus you can slide him in at slot. Maybe he

1153
01:04:28,760 --> 01:04:32,200
Speaker 1: doesn't start, but depth and opponents specific might be a

1154
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,400
Speaker 1: role for him. We talked about Hodgens on the show yesterday.

1155
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 1: It's going to be an uphill battle, not only because

1156
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:43,800
Speaker 1: there are players who are superior in terms of separation

1157
01:04:43,880 --> 01:04:46,880
Speaker 1: ability and overall skill, set that sit higher on the

1158
01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:49,480
Speaker 1: pecking order right now at the wide receiver position. But

1159
01:04:49,640 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: you also have people that are higher than him on

1160
01:04:51,360 --> 01:04:55,400
Speaker 1: the pecking order in the special team's roles, Akaj Kumero.

1161
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:59,520
Speaker 1: So for those reasons, even though I would agree that

1162
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:02,480
Speaker 1: Isaiah Hodgins has put together an ice training camp, let's

1163
01:05:02,480 --> 01:05:08,439
Speaker 1: put together a solid preseason, it's just it's a number

1164
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: room to be in. Too many numbers. So certainly they

1165
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: don't want to let him go, and that there's a

1166
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,400
Speaker 1: chance of getting him on the on the practice squad,

1167
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 1: they'll take it. I don't know that he'll survive and

1168
01:05:20,440 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: he's got a chance to play somewhere though, And I

1169
01:05:22,720 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 1: think he may be one of those guys that is

1170
01:05:25,280 --> 01:05:27,480
Speaker 1: a sad goodbye when he goes to another team after

1171
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:30,360
Speaker 1: they release him, you know, because he's you know, he's

1172
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:34,360
Speaker 1: a six three two ten kid, good size, and he

1173
01:05:34,480 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: brings something to the table, no question about it. And

1174
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:39,000
Speaker 1: I think for most Bills fans who watched this team

1175
01:05:39,040 --> 01:05:42,120
Speaker 1: really close, like you and I do, he's better this

1176
01:05:42,320 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 1: year than he has been. Oh yeah, he's way better. Well,

1177
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: he's finally healthy. He's not you know, his progress has

1178
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:51,200
Speaker 1: not been interrupted by injury issues like he had and

1179
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,960
Speaker 1: Kie see he's practiced every day. Yeah, so he's gotten better.

1180
01:05:55,080 --> 01:05:58,240
Speaker 1: He has been able to see it. So Yeah. Sean

1181
01:05:58,360 --> 01:06:01,320
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, James Cook is cooking it up.

1182
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,400
Speaker 1: This stud looks so fluid and smooth with every move.

1183
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,720
Speaker 1: His low key demeanor is just as deceptive as his

1184
01:06:06,840 --> 01:06:10,000
Speaker 1: explosive speed. And we haven't even seen his route running

1185
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:14,520
Speaker 1: in incredibly gifted hands. Stand back, here comes Jimbo. Every

1186
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,160
Speaker 1: sentence in this tweet has an exclamation pr at the end.

1187
01:06:17,200 --> 01:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Some of them have two. Sean is fired up. I

1188
01:06:19,400 --> 01:06:22,400
Speaker 1: don't know if he's James Cook's agent, but he is.

1189
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 1: He certainly his campaign manager. There's a lot of we

1190
01:06:27,720 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 1: haven't Yeah, but we haven't seen much of him, that's

1191
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,080
Speaker 1: for sure. He snapped off a couple of nice plays

1192
01:06:32,160 --> 01:06:34,640
Speaker 1: this last week. He's only had twelve snaps the entire

1193
01:06:34,720 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 1: two games as a rookie. Running back to me, he's

1194
01:06:40,480 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 1: a second round pick. So to me what that said,

1195
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I just I just can't get over the factor.

1196
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:52,240
Speaker 1: That says a lot. They know him, they know him,

1197
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: they know what he's gonna bring, and they're not gonna

1198
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:58,240
Speaker 1: show anybody anything until Game one. That's what I think.

1199
01:06:59,400 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: I don't know anything, but if it's me, if I

1200
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:05,120
Speaker 1: don't know Ken Dorsey, I don't know how he does.

1201
01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 1: We've never seen this from day ball or whatever. But

1202
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:09,880
Speaker 1: if you got a kid who's a second round pick

1203
01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,400
Speaker 1: and he only gets twelve snaps during the preseason, you're

1204
01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,720
Speaker 1: pretty sure. I'm pretty sure you think he's pretty good. Yeah,

1205
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:20,960
Speaker 1: And a kid who's pretty good like that doesn't sit

1206
01:07:20,960 --> 01:07:23,440
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. You're holding him back to unleash him

1207
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 1: when it came exactly, he's a surprise. He's a surprised

1208
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,320
Speaker 1: little you know, cherry on top of the cake of

1209
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:36,160
Speaker 1: your offense, you know, surprised cher I love your analogies,

1210
01:07:36,760 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 1: they're so good. From Chef Diggs on the tweet sheet,

1211
01:07:40,680 --> 01:07:43,800
Speaker 1: gotta go with Shakier. When he got drafted, I watched

1212
01:07:43,840 --> 01:07:46,120
Speaker 1: some film and he reminded me of Cooper Cup with

1213
01:07:46,240 --> 01:07:49,480
Speaker 1: the way he ran routes, very fundamental and quick, and

1214
01:07:49,680 --> 01:07:56,680
Speaker 1: now he's proving it in the preseason. Yeah, I Cooper Cup.

1215
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:59,640
Speaker 1: I think that's different. I think they're different in the

1216
01:07:59,680 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 1: way run routes. Cup is a very sharp and break

1217
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:09,720
Speaker 1: it off, you know, in one step type of receiver.

1218
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:15,440
Speaker 1: I still remember in the twenty seventeen Senior Bowl watching

1219
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,439
Speaker 1: those guys all week in practice, and the two receivers

1220
01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:21,759
Speaker 1: that stood out to me the most at the twenty

1221
01:08:21,840 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 1: seventeen Senior Bowl where Cooper Cup and Zay Jones and

1222
01:08:27,960 --> 01:08:32,439
Speaker 1: both went in the first three rounds and both of

1223
01:08:32,479 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 1: them are still in the league. Cooper Cup is the

1224
01:08:35,439 --> 01:08:38,760
Speaker 1: reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year. Shaquier is a

1225
01:08:38,880 --> 01:08:42,000
Speaker 1: nice young prospect. But let's pump the brakes here a

1226
01:08:42,040 --> 01:08:46,880
Speaker 1: little bit. I like everything that Shaquier has done in

1227
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:49,600
Speaker 1: the preseason. I think he is a different type of

1228
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:55,240
Speaker 1: route runner than Cup is. Shaquier is more shifty and

1229
01:08:55,560 --> 01:08:59,960
Speaker 1: smooth in his transitions, where Cooper Cup is more stuckup

1230
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:04,559
Speaker 1: otto sharp cuts, change direction in and out. I think

1231
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 1: Cups more of a choppy route runner. Shakier is just

1232
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:09,160
Speaker 1: kind of smooth in and out of breaks and stuff.

1233
01:09:09,240 --> 01:09:12,120
Speaker 1: Tops his weight easily right now the way I see it.

1234
01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:14,960
Speaker 1: And we don't know what the what the depth chart is.

1235
01:09:15,040 --> 01:09:16,840
Speaker 1: I mean, they've got one out, but I don't know

1236
01:09:16,880 --> 01:09:19,360
Speaker 1: how accurate it. And I would say, if I'm guessing,

1237
01:09:19,400 --> 01:09:22,800
Speaker 1: and I am, I think it's Diggs and Davis on

1238
01:09:22,840 --> 01:09:27,840
Speaker 1: the outside and McKenzie on the inside, with Crowder back

1239
01:09:28,280 --> 01:09:32,639
Speaker 1: backing up McKenzie and on the outside. On the outside,

1240
01:09:32,680 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 1: I think it might be Shakir backing up Diggs and

1241
01:09:35,080 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 1: Davis on the outside. And those there's your five receivers

1242
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:41,280
Speaker 1: and the sixth one would be Kumaro on the roster.

1243
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,439
Speaker 1: The good thing with receiver four and at least how

1244
01:09:44,479 --> 01:09:47,760
Speaker 1: it looks Crowder and Shakir, they can back up all

1245
01:09:47,800 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: the spots right. That makes them inherently valuable. I mean,

1246
01:09:51,240 --> 01:09:53,920
Speaker 1: their skill set says enough about themselves as receivers. Their

1247
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:57,280
Speaker 1: versatility I think only adds to their value. And that's

1248
01:09:57,280 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: why both of them will be on this roster. Sho.

1249
01:10:00,120 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 1: That's where I think too. I think I think it's

1250
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:08,439
Speaker 1: the three Davis, Mackenzie, Digs and Crowder and Shakier with

1251
01:10:08,640 --> 01:10:11,200
Speaker 1: Kumro as the sixth guy playing special teams and coming

1252
01:10:11,240 --> 01:10:13,200
Speaker 1: in and blocking in the run game and also giving

1253
01:10:13,240 --> 01:10:16,720
Speaker 1: them a little something in the red zone. So yeah,

1254
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:21,000
Speaker 1: that's that's the way it looks to me. And I

1255
01:10:21,080 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 1: think a guy like pow Wo could be a practice

1256
01:10:24,960 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: squad guy, Hodgens could be a practice squad guy. Gentry

1257
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:33,400
Speaker 1: will be a practice you know Tanner Gentry will be

1258
01:10:33,439 --> 01:10:39,320
Speaker 1: a practice squad guy candidate. Yeah, so you know, for

1259
01:10:39,400 --> 01:10:41,120
Speaker 1: most of you who don't know Pow who is he's

1260
01:10:41,280 --> 01:10:47,040
Speaker 1: six two two, he's a big dude. He's twenty six,

1261
01:10:47,840 --> 01:10:52,080
Speaker 1: so he's you know, he's an older kid, so he's

1262
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 1: he's you got some wisdom there. But um, that's the

1263
01:10:56,400 --> 01:10:58,960
Speaker 1: way it's shaking out for me right now. But I

1264
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,719
Speaker 1: don't know how you know, the running backs, the tight

1265
01:11:01,880 --> 01:11:05,120
Speaker 1: ends are gonna filter down through the numbers game of

1266
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 1: what the roster is going to look like on the

1267
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 1: offensive side, Yeah, which is what tight ends are A

1268
01:11:10,160 --> 01:11:14,519
Speaker 1: big question mark. Yeah, there is news. Mike Garifolo from

1269
01:11:14,600 --> 01:11:17,040
Speaker 1: NFL Network is reporting that the Colts are in fact

1270
01:11:17,120 --> 01:11:22,160
Speaker 1: signing former Bills punter Matt Hawk. So Hawk, you know,

1271
01:11:22,720 --> 01:11:25,280
Speaker 1: you hear this all the time. Steve and Brandon Bean

1272
01:11:25,360 --> 01:11:27,479
Speaker 1: said it when they made the roster decision earlier in

1273
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 1: the week. They wanted to give a veteran like Hawk

1274
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:32,559
Speaker 1: a chance to latch on with another team. That's why

1275
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:35,400
Speaker 1: they're making him a cut now, not in the massive

1276
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,720
Speaker 1: cut to fifty three, when the market is flooded with

1277
01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:42,800
Speaker 1: players and it in fact proves to work. Colts are

1278
01:11:42,800 --> 01:11:45,680
Speaker 1: going to sign Matt Hawk after losing their punter Rigoberto

1279
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 1: Sanchez to an achilles injury. So Matt Hawk finds work

1280
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 1: elsewhere in the league. So good for him. And you know,

1281
01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:57,719
Speaker 1: the Colts have filled a need after losing their starting

1282
01:11:57,760 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 1: punter for the season to an achilles injury. How weird

1283
01:12:01,160 --> 01:12:04,519
Speaker 1: is that? Like a punter two an achilles? How that's rare.

1284
01:12:04,680 --> 01:12:06,800
Speaker 1: It seems very I've never heard that before. It must

1285
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,000
Speaker 1: be he must have been, you know, half covering a

1286
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 1: kick or whatever. Must been going through some drills and

1287
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:13,880
Speaker 1: done something other than punt, you know what I mean?

1288
01:12:14,680 --> 01:12:17,840
Speaker 1: Who knows, But apparently it happened during wind sprints of

1289
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:20,560
Speaker 1: all things. See, everybody's doing gasrous together, you know, the

1290
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: entire team, coachings and everybody. Everybody's doing that these days.

1291
01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,880
Speaker 1: Maybe that's when it happened. That is that's too bad.

1292
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:31,599
Speaker 1: That's still strange to him. Too bad. Out at practice today,

1293
01:12:31,680 --> 01:12:33,840
Speaker 1: Steve and I had a chance to watch a little

1294
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,439
Speaker 1: bit more because it started earlier today than it had

1295
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:44,040
Speaker 1: earlier this week. And during the team session there was

1296
01:12:44,120 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: one particular player who stood out in a big way.

1297
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: Number forty, Holy cow, Von Miller is the alarm has

1298
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:57,120
Speaker 1: gone off on the regular season. We're two, We're a

1299
01:12:57,160 --> 01:13:00,560
Speaker 1: couple of weeks out, and Vaughan is readying for the

1300
01:13:00,640 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: regular season. He was having his way on pass rush today,

1301
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:08,000
Speaker 1: tapping out Josh with like three or four sacks in

1302
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:11,559
Speaker 1: the span of about ten plays. Yeah, the tackles were

1303
01:13:11,680 --> 01:13:14,880
Speaker 1: strugging one on one. The tackles were struggling with Vaughan,

1304
01:13:14,960 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 1: which is why you don't match up one on one.

1305
01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:18,680
Speaker 1: But in a practice setting, that's what they were doing,

1306
01:13:18,960 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 1: and they and he was doing it with both leverage

1307
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,479
Speaker 1: and power and also coming off the edge around the

1308
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:29,520
Speaker 1: corner doing different stuff. I saw him do a hesitation

1309
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:32,439
Speaker 1: move after, you know, as a compliment to a power

1310
01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just it's really really good. I mean good,

1311
01:13:37,120 --> 01:13:40,040
Speaker 1: it's gracious. It was something I'm excited to see it.

1312
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 1: This defense is going to be a little bit different

1313
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: than it was a year ago. In my opinion. I

1314
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 1: think even though it was a number one ranked defense

1315
01:13:46,040 --> 01:13:47,599
Speaker 1: last year, I think it's going to be much much

1316
01:13:47,640 --> 01:13:51,400
Speaker 1: better this year. And today's practice just solidified it. Yeah,

1317
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:54,680
Speaker 1: it just it's scary to think. I mean, I know

1318
01:13:54,720 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 1: I've been saying since April everybody's excited about Von Miller,

1319
01:13:58,720 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 1: and with justifiable cause, but I'm so pumped to see

1320
01:14:03,960 --> 01:14:07,719
Speaker 1: these freaking big defensive tackles. I think get after people,

1321
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: I think get in the lap of quarterbacks is gonna

1322
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:12,760
Speaker 1: be a penetrator at three hundred and forty pounds, and

1323
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:16,920
Speaker 1: Oliver is gonna be Yeah, it's gonna be fun. I mean,

1324
01:14:16,960 --> 01:14:19,639
Speaker 1: we're not even talking about de Quon Jones and Tim

1325
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: Settle yet, who have impressed in their own right to record.

1326
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,439
Speaker 1: They're just gonna be rolling these big hosses through and

1327
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:29,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna be wrecking people, wrecking people. Oh, it's so

1328
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:33,080
Speaker 1: exciting to think we gotta take a break here when

1329
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:34,840
Speaker 1: we come back. We haven't done this in a while. Steve,

1330
01:14:34,880 --> 01:14:38,400
Speaker 1: a little NFL True False coming your way. We've got

1331
01:14:38,439 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 1: some doozies on the list. We'll get to those when

1332
01:14:40,280 --> 01:14:42,800
Speaker 1: we return here. On One Bills Live presented by Kalid

1333
01:14:42,840 --> 01:14:57,400
Speaker 1: to Health, it's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back.

1334
01:14:57,439 --> 01:15:00,960
Speaker 1: It's One Bills Live. Chris Brown, Steve Taster with and

1335
01:15:01,080 --> 01:15:03,960
Speaker 1: it's time to play a little NFL True Falls Steve

1336
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:10,759
Speaker 1: presented by Patron Tequila, the official tequila of the Buffalo Bills.

1337
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:14,160
Speaker 1: I like it. Glad to have them joining us on NFL.

1338
01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:17,560
Speaker 1: True falls, and we begin with the following Steve, the

1339
01:15:17,720 --> 01:15:24,920
Speaker 1: Patriots training camp struggles are just growing pains, true or unfortunately.

1340
01:15:24,960 --> 01:15:28,120
Speaker 1: I think it's true. I think they'll They're coming off

1341
01:15:28,160 --> 01:15:33,080
Speaker 1: a playoff a year. Certainly you can make cast dispersions

1342
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:36,720
Speaker 1: on their draft and maybe their rosters, and but their

1343
01:15:36,800 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: offense is not going to be non competitive. So I think, yeah,

1344
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna be fine. And they've they've shown some signs

1345
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,559
Speaker 1: of life late in these practices with the Raiders, although

1346
01:15:46,800 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: during the bulk of the practice they've struggled in like

1347
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,519
Speaker 1: in the two minute drill, they seem to have gotten

1348
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:54,560
Speaker 1: found their rhythm against them. So yeah, I think the

1349
01:15:55,200 --> 01:15:57,679
Speaker 1: Patriots are going to go or going through some growing pains.

1350
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:00,200
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna go to the super Bowl

1351
01:16:00,240 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 1: and win it or they're gonna do all of that,

1352
01:16:02,439 --> 01:16:05,040
Speaker 1: but I think they're gonna be much better than reports

1353
01:16:05,080 --> 01:16:08,240
Speaker 1: have them in training camp. I am disagreeing with you vehemently.

1354
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 1: I believe this is false. The Patriots are going to

1355
01:16:12,920 --> 01:16:16,160
Speaker 1: struggle this year. I think there will be weeks where

1356
01:16:16,520 --> 01:16:19,680
Speaker 1: they cannot get out of their own way. I think

1357
01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:24,080
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia is going to have his share of issues

1358
01:16:24,120 --> 01:16:28,360
Speaker 1: as the offensive coordinator, and the Sharks will circle and

1359
01:16:28,479 --> 01:16:32,960
Speaker 1: smell blood in the water. The Patriots will go down, down, down,

1360
01:16:33,120 --> 01:16:35,479
Speaker 1: like a sinking ship with a cavernis hole in its

1361
01:16:35,560 --> 01:16:40,080
Speaker 1: hull and sink to the bottom of the AFCs this year. Sure,

1362
01:16:40,240 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 1: that's just part of what I'd like to see happen,

1363
01:16:42,960 --> 01:16:44,559
Speaker 1: but I believe it to be the case as well.

1364
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 1: So I say false with a capital F. Wouldn't it

1365
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,240
Speaker 1: be great? How can you not wrap your arms around

1366
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,479
Speaker 1: that and just squeeze with all your loving might? I

1367
01:16:54,520 --> 01:16:58,040
Speaker 1: will say that does look pretty good when you're window shopping. Yes,

1368
01:16:58,240 --> 01:17:02,040
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, you don't know how badly I want

1369
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:06,759
Speaker 1: that to hight. Yeah. I want them to be mired

1370
01:17:06,840 --> 01:17:12,960
Speaker 1: in the embarrassment of total ineptitude. I want them to

1371
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:18,040
Speaker 1: devolve into an abyss of irrelevancy. Yeah, the likes of

1372
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,200
Speaker 1: which we have not seen before. Yeah, all right, NFL

1373
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,280
Speaker 1: true false number two, The Lions will be better than

1374
01:17:25,320 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: a five hundred team false in twenty twenty two false

1375
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:31,400
Speaker 1: false false false. Okay, that was a very quick answer.

1376
01:17:31,479 --> 01:17:34,080
Speaker 1: Tell me why they're just their roster's not good enough.

1377
01:17:34,840 --> 01:17:37,679
Speaker 1: Their quarterbacks not good enough, their skill position on offense

1378
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:41,840
Speaker 1: aren't good enough. They'll be they're gonna be a fun team.

1379
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:45,599
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine. But then they may win five

1380
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,760
Speaker 1: or six games, seven would probably be I think they're

1381
01:17:49,120 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 1: a good year for them. I don't think they can

1382
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:54,120
Speaker 1: bounce back further than that from where they were a

1383
01:17:54,240 --> 01:17:57,720
Speaker 1: year ago. Right, I don't think they've done enough to

1384
01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:00,400
Speaker 1: warrant a total turner. I don't think think they're a

1385
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: nine win football team. I do not. I think they

1386
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: might be a six or seven win football team because, yeah,

1387
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 1: because of the Bears. Well they're playing in the NFC, right,

1388
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:12,080
Speaker 1: because of the Bears and the quarterbacks left in that conference.

1389
01:18:12,360 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: I mean, they're not gonna beat the Packers at all.

1390
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:21,599
Speaker 1: They will sweep the Bears, and they'll split with the Vikes.

1391
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:26,760
Speaker 1: Maybe they might get swept by the Key. So they

1392
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,560
Speaker 1: win two out of the six games there. Think about that.

1393
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,679
Speaker 1: That that puts them in about six games in a seventeen.

1394
01:18:31,720 --> 01:18:34,640
Speaker 1: They play the AFC East and the NFC East this year.

1395
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:36,559
Speaker 1: Those are the across They got a chance again there

1396
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:38,759
Speaker 1: a cross division. They got a chance against the Patriots.

1397
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:40,760
Speaker 1: They got a chance against the Dolphins. They got a

1398
01:18:40,840 --> 01:18:43,240
Speaker 1: chance against the Jets. Yes, so let's say they get

1399
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,320
Speaker 1: one and a half. They got a chance against the Giants.

1400
01:18:45,439 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: Let's say the Washington Commanders. Let's say they go all right,

1401
01:18:49,560 --> 01:18:52,400
Speaker 1: there's five games there. Let's say they win two and

1402
01:18:52,439 --> 01:18:57,320
Speaker 1: a half of those and they beat the Bears twice.

1403
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:01,439
Speaker 1: There's five and a half Jacksonville on the schedule as

1404
01:19:01,479 --> 01:19:04,519
Speaker 1: your cross conference game. That's that's a winnable game. Still

1405
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 1: five and a half to me. I think Jacksonville, all right,

1406
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:11,320
Speaker 1: let's say sick they gives them a look half. I

1407
01:19:11,400 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 1: think they could get to six with a little luck. Seven.

1408
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 1: Let's not forget Steve. That was a team that was

1409
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:18,600
Speaker 1: on the wrong end of the luck last year. The

1410
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,479
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker sixty four yard field goal at the gun.

1411
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: They lose that game to the Ravens, and they had

1412
01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:27,200
Speaker 1: a couple other games they lost in the waning moments.

1413
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:29,040
Speaker 1: I know you're gonna tell me that's how that's what

1414
01:19:29,200 --> 01:19:32,120
Speaker 1: bad teams do. Lose those here's the defendant. Here's my thing.

1415
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:35,200
Speaker 1: And I'll say this as a as an homage to

1416
01:19:35,960 --> 01:19:39,760
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell's leadership. They play hard for that guy. They

1417
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:42,320
Speaker 1: do play hard and you've seen as how you and

1418
01:19:42,400 --> 01:19:45,439
Speaker 1: I are putting them at like six and a half,

1419
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: maybe seven. I'm gonna say this, Oh I forgot. They

1420
01:19:49,400 --> 01:19:52,680
Speaker 1: also play Carolina. That's a winnable game, all right, I'm

1421
01:19:52,680 --> 01:19:57,479
Speaker 1: gonna put them at eight wins. Wow, I'm gonna put

1422
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: them at eight wins just because of because of the

1423
01:19:59,479 --> 01:20:06,160
Speaker 1: Dan Campbell, because of hard knocks. No, if that's that's

1424
01:20:06,800 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 1: that's an extra game and a half for me. They're

1425
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:11,439
Speaker 1: right there. So I'm yeah, because all those games we

1426
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:13,880
Speaker 1: had their coin flips, you gotta they're not gonna win

1427
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 1: a coin flip game with the Patriots. No Patriots, that's

1428
01:20:16,479 --> 01:20:18,720
Speaker 1: where the Patriots. Wheelhouse could win a coin flip game

1429
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:21,280
Speaker 1: with the Panthers, though, and they could with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

1430
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:23,040
Speaker 1: So you get one of their and you're gonna they're

1431
01:20:23,040 --> 01:20:28,760
Speaker 1: gonna sweep the Bears. They're gonna Yeah, they're gonna they

1432
01:20:28,840 --> 01:20:30,800
Speaker 1: got a chance against all these other times. Yeah, I'm

1433
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:34,840
Speaker 1: I'm it's a little too much. Yeah, you just said.

1434
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:38,640
Speaker 1: I think it's somewhere between six and seven. I think

1435
01:20:38,680 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 1: they could get to seven. I think with a little luck,

1436
01:20:41,240 --> 01:20:43,519
Speaker 1: they can get to seven. I'm gonna pump the brakes

1437
01:20:43,560 --> 01:20:48,000
Speaker 1: and say seven, you win a little hard knocks, heywire,

1438
01:20:48,040 --> 01:20:52,400
Speaker 1: They're honest there, I'll say seven, say seven, but it

1439
01:20:52,560 --> 01:20:54,200
Speaker 1: is false. They're not gonna be They're not gonna be

1440
01:20:54,240 --> 01:20:58,720
Speaker 1: a nine. Yeah, an eight team. Um no, No, there's

1441
01:20:58,720 --> 01:21:00,599
Speaker 1: still a little ways away. They're they're doing a lot

1442
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: of the right things, but yeah, yeah, I think there

1443
01:21:04,800 --> 01:21:11,800
Speaker 1: are ways away. Uh NFL true false. Number three Chargers

1444
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:17,560
Speaker 1: j C. Jackson is the best cornerback in the NFL. No,

1445
01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,479
Speaker 1: that's that. J C. Jackson was the one with the

1446
01:21:21,640 --> 01:21:24,000
Speaker 1: Patriots last year, the guy who was now on the

1447
01:21:24,280 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: LA Chargers. No, no, he's not even the best. He's

1448
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:34,519
Speaker 1: not even the best corner in LA. Jalen Ramsey is yeah,

1449
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:40,040
Speaker 1: that's yeah. No, yeah, I kid in New Orleans is

1450
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,560
Speaker 1: better than what's the guy that the draft pick the

1451
01:21:42,640 --> 01:21:48,760
Speaker 1: same year as Marshawn Latimore. I would go along with

1452
01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,000
Speaker 1: I think j C. Jackson has been one of the

1453
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:56,559
Speaker 1: most opportunistic cornerbacks in the NFL, but pound for pound,

1454
01:21:56,640 --> 01:21:59,960
Speaker 1: best corner in the NFL. No, I would take Tushy

1455
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 1: over him in a second. Steph Diggs wishes he could

1456
01:22:03,800 --> 01:22:09,120
Speaker 1: play against jac Jackson every week. Steph Diggs Diggs. Steph

1457
01:22:09,240 --> 01:22:16,040
Speaker 1: Diggs like, yeah, I don't even that's not he crushed him, yeah,

1458
01:22:16,600 --> 01:22:19,640
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns and was like, remember this is the

1459
01:22:19,680 --> 01:22:23,240
Speaker 1: one you and you and you and you ye shut

1460
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:25,840
Speaker 1: up in the back of the end zone and that

1461
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:29,320
Speaker 1: was yeah. No, Jac Jacks Like and I'm sure there

1462
01:22:29,360 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: are other teams out there were jac Jackson crushed him

1463
01:22:31,479 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: and dominated the game and all that, but he never

1464
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:37,320
Speaker 1: did it to Buffalo and five years eighty two and

1465
01:22:37,400 --> 01:22:40,960
Speaker 1: a half million, forty three of which was guaranteed in

1466
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:42,880
Speaker 1: the big deal with the Chargers. That's why I'm not

1467
01:22:43,160 --> 01:22:46,200
Speaker 1: now he is out at least two to four weeks

1468
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:50,920
Speaker 1: after having ankle surgery. Steve, they're putting him at two

1469
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,200
Speaker 1: to four weeks after ankle surgery. I mean, even if

1470
01:22:53,240 --> 01:22:57,160
Speaker 1: it's a scope playing cornerback, is he coming back in

1471
01:22:57,240 --> 01:23:00,560
Speaker 1: two to four weeks? Like, I don't, No, it's a

1472
01:23:00,680 --> 01:23:05,679
Speaker 1: Chargers man, I don't know it's the Chargers. I don't

1473
01:23:05,720 --> 01:23:09,560
Speaker 1: think he's making it back for a week one. No,

1474
01:23:10,160 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, no, And he's definitely

1475
01:23:13,240 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 1: not the best cornerback in the NFL. I'm trying. I

1476
01:23:16,439 --> 01:23:18,360
Speaker 1: was trying to think in my head as we were

1477
01:23:18,400 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 1: going through this, how many I would put in front

1478
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: of him? And I don't know if I can name

1479
01:23:25,439 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: them all off the top of my head, but I'm

1480
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:31,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying to myself, if I went and looked at cornerbacks,

1481
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,560
Speaker 1: you know, Rundown, I would find five pretty quickly that

1482
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:39,240
Speaker 1: I would put in front of him. Yeah, I mean

1483
01:23:40,320 --> 01:23:42,400
Speaker 1: I would have to go at least there before i'd

1484
01:23:42,439 --> 01:23:46,240
Speaker 1: even get him in the conversation. Yeah, I mean, I

1485
01:23:46,280 --> 01:23:50,639
Speaker 1: don't know. I like the Dolphins corners better. I would

1486
01:23:50,680 --> 01:23:54,080
Speaker 1: say they are definitely more talented than him. I think

1487
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:57,719
Speaker 1: you might you could Byron Jones and J. C. Jackson.

1488
01:23:57,800 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: I may debate that a little bit. Like Savy and Howard,

1489
01:24:00,439 --> 01:24:02,439
Speaker 1: I've got ahead of him easily. I'd like to see

1490
01:24:03,160 --> 01:24:08,800
Speaker 1: Howard and and Jat and the other guy the other

1491
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,120
Speaker 1: corner from I'd like to see those guys with a

1492
01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,360
Speaker 1: new defensive coordinator giving a little more help than they

1493
01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,320
Speaker 1: have had. Well, I think they have the same coordinator, right,

1494
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,000
Speaker 1: So I would like to see them in it. But

1495
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:21,599
Speaker 1: I think those guys are really good. What about Treyvon

1496
01:24:21,680 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 1: Diggs in this conversation? Where does he fall? He's kind

1497
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:27,519
Speaker 1: of an opportunistic corner just like JC. Yeah. I get

1498
01:24:27,560 --> 01:24:30,479
Speaker 1: their hands on a lot of balls, picks, you know. Um.

1499
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 1: And sometimes if they're good, like Jayden Ramsey Good or

1500
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 1: Digs Good, they bait the quarterback into the throw right

1501
01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:40,160
Speaker 1: no one they can get there and pick it off.

1502
01:24:40,280 --> 01:24:43,800
Speaker 1: So that's another level stuff. Jase Jackson is not that guy.

1503
01:24:45,720 --> 01:24:47,600
Speaker 1: I don't get the sense that he is either. I

1504
01:24:47,680 --> 01:24:50,800
Speaker 1: suppose he could prove us all wrong. Well he's hey,

1505
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,160
Speaker 1: he didn't have to prove it's anybody wrong. He's the

1506
01:24:53,200 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 1: guy that signed the eighty million dollar contract. Yeah. Uh.

1507
01:24:57,160 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: There is news out of Carolina Panthers camp concerning Friday's game.

1508
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:06,920
Speaker 1: Panther's head coach Matt Rule as apparently said today the

1509
01:25:07,040 --> 01:25:11,719
Speaker 1: plan is to play Baker Mayfield and the starters into

1510
01:25:11,800 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: the second quarter on Friday. We didn't know that already.

1511
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:16,360
Speaker 1: I thought we knew that already. I don't know that

1512
01:25:16,439 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: we did, okay. I don't think it was official. I

1513
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:21,640
Speaker 1: think that was the assumption because the starters did not

1514
01:25:21,760 --> 01:25:25,000
Speaker 1: play at all last week for the Panthers. Matt Rule

1515
01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,680
Speaker 1: apparently made it official after practice today Baker Mayfield and

1516
01:25:28,800 --> 01:25:30,960
Speaker 1: the starters into the second quarters. So what the Bills

1517
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: experienced last week with the Broncos is what the Panthers

1518
01:25:34,160 --> 01:25:36,880
Speaker 1: are gonna experience this week with their starters with the Bill.

1519
01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:41,040
Speaker 1: I just realized I gotta travel tomorrow with the team. Yes,

1520
01:25:41,160 --> 01:25:43,799

1524
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,480
Speaker 1: I know it's just an overnight. Are you a procrastinator?

1525
01:25:58,880 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: Not about everything? Okay? Almost felt like a procrastinator with

1526
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: that answer. I'll tell you later. Um No, I'm not

1527
01:26:06,920 --> 01:26:11,439
Speaker 1: a procrastinator. I'll tell you later. Um. The yeah, because

1528
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 1: it's been a minute. It's been a while. Yeah, because

1529
01:26:15,400 --> 01:26:16,800
Speaker 1: you know, we were in COVID. We weren't on the

1530
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:18,760
Speaker 1: travel we haven't been traveled for three years, and I

1536
01:26:38,320 --> 01:26:40,760
Speaker 1: a Wednesday. Here on One Bills Live presented Body Collid

1537
01:26:40,800 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back

1538
01:26:55,160 --> 01:27:00,240
Speaker 1: One Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker, and one final

1539
01:27:00,320 --> 01:27:02,880
Speaker 1: segment to go here. And I gotta tell you I

1540
01:27:02,920 --> 01:27:06,320
Speaker 1: didn't mention this at the top of the show. I

1541
01:27:06,400 --> 01:27:08,599
Speaker 1: don't know what's going on on the roads of western

1542
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:11,960
Speaker 1: New York or elsewhere. I already told you about how

1543
01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 1: my long trip down to Georgia had me convinced that

1544
01:27:14,880 --> 01:27:19,439
Speaker 1: the drivers in the South are crazy. I feel like

1545
01:27:19,720 --> 01:27:24,240
Speaker 1: drivers nowadays when it comes to highways, have forgotten the

1546
01:27:24,760 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: general rules as to what areas of the highway mean.

1547
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:33,599
Speaker 1: Like the left lane is the passing lane. You don't

1548
01:27:33,640 --> 01:27:36,479
Speaker 1: go over there and camp out. Okay, that's number one.

1549
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:40,840
Speaker 1: Number two. When you are coming from an on ramp

1550
01:27:41,080 --> 01:27:47,040
Speaker 1: and merging into traffic, it is your job to get

1551
01:27:47,120 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 1: your vehicle up to the speed of the traffic you

1552
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: are joining. And in the last two days, Steve and

1553
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,599
Speaker 1: I'm not up, not a lead foot driver at all.

1554
01:28:02,640 --> 01:28:05,120
Speaker 1: But when I go in the passing lane, I expect

1555
01:28:05,160 --> 01:28:07,599
Speaker 1: to be able to pass the traffic I moved out

1556
01:28:07,680 --> 01:28:11,240
Speaker 1: from behind, and I use the left lane to pass people,

1557
01:28:11,760 --> 01:28:14,719
Speaker 1: and when there is somebody camped out there tootling along

1558
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:20,040
Speaker 1: at sixty, I have a problem with that. I'm a

1559
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,400
Speaker 1: patient man in most cases. I'm not a lean on

1560
01:28:23,479 --> 01:28:27,439
Speaker 1: the horn person. But I am huffing and puffing all

1561
01:28:27,479 --> 01:28:30,360
Speaker 1: the way down the highway at sixty in the passing lane,

1562
01:28:30,880 --> 01:28:34,600
Speaker 1: saying you do not belong here. The same happened to

1563
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,800
Speaker 1: me this morning with the on ramp. I am in

1564
01:28:37,880 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: the right lane. I had just gotten on myself. I

1565
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:42,639
Speaker 1: had yet to merge into the maybe the middle lane

1566
01:28:42,720 --> 01:28:45,040
Speaker 1: or the left lane. I had to pass somebody. There's

1567
01:28:45,080 --> 01:28:50,160
Speaker 1: another on ramp coming the ninety, and this person is

1568
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 1: tootling around the the clover leaf and merging into traffic

1569
01:28:54,720 --> 01:29:00,320
Speaker 1: on a highway at forty five. Oh dude, somebody help me.

1570
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,960
Speaker 1: Please help me. Listen. You can't live their lives for me. Brown,

1571
01:29:04,200 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: Just be nice, give them some grace. You never know

1572
01:29:06,400 --> 01:29:09,160
Speaker 1: what they're going through. Danny hi Fitz from The Ringer.

1573

Speaker 1: On the show tomorrow, Mandy glam will be in that

1574
