00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:35,440
Speaker 1: This is One Bills Live presented by Callida Health.

2
00:00:37,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: All Right, welcome to training camp at Saint John Fisher. Steve,

3
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: your chairs in the crack of the sidewalk. You gotta

4
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:45,360
Speaker 2: be more ready than.

5
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:46,200
Speaker 3: That, I know.

6
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,600
Speaker 2: Welcome to One Bill's Live. We are here at Saint

7
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:53,000
Speaker 2: John Fisher. Practice one of training camp is in the books.

8
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:54,720
Speaker 3: And what a practice.

9
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 2: Christian Benford is on the tally sheet with the first

10
00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:01,080
Speaker 2: interception of camp in a red zone period. He picked

11
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: off Josh Allen. So he's off to a hot start,

12
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: much like he was last year. Steve, So, look at that.

13
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 2: Already a headliner.

14
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:10,480
Speaker 3: You look at that.

15
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs also addressed the media a short time ago.

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,880
Speaker 4: We will re rack that and play it for you.

17
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 2: He talked for twenty minutes, took any and all questions.

18
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 2: I thought was very self effacing, really, I thought effectively

19
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 2: explained where his frustrations lied at the end of last season,

20
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,280
Speaker 2: and to a certain extent, some of what he brought

21
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 2: to the table in what he described as family matters.

22
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,360
Speaker 2: That's what he described as the issues that were discussed

23
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 2: back in the spring. And he says, it's all water

24
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,000
Speaker 2: under the bridge now and they're good to go.

25
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: But I think Sean.

26
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs is the kind of player and I think

27
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: you and I felt this about him back when everybody

28
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 2: was losing their minds and ready to jump off bridges

29
00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 2: about what was going on between him, Josh Allen and

30
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Speaker 2: the conversations that were had with coach McDermott president as well.

31
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 2: I think we, you and I and correct me if

32
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,679
Speaker 2: I'm not putting words in your mouth, feel that Stefan

33
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:13,480
Speaker 2: Diggs is such a fierce competitor who.

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 5: Is so.

35
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:20,000
Speaker 2: Dedicated to winning that if there have to be hard

36
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:23,359
Speaker 2: conversations that have the potential to maybe even get a

37
00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: little uncomfortable, he's willing to have them if he knows

38
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 2: coming out on the other side of them, they're a

39
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: better unit on offense. And I think that some of

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:35,079
Speaker 2: what was at work here, and I thought he expressed

41
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 2: himself very well in laying all that out for everybody

42
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: to understand better. It's and Sean McDermott alluded to it

43
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: when he spoke to the media at the end of

44
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,880
Speaker 2: mini camp saying we're all on the same page because

45
00:02:47,880 --> 00:02:51,320
Speaker 2: we're all about winning, and that's where all of this

46
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:52,200
Speaker 2: came from.

47
00:02:52,440 --> 00:02:53,880
Speaker 4: It came from a healthy place.

48
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 2: The conversations probably weren't easy at times because Sean McDermott

49
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 2: himself Steve said, I told I told Stefan, you know,

50
00:03:03,080 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: don't worry about practice today, go simmer.

51
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 4: But that's how much winning means.

52
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,560
Speaker 3: They asked him if he was concerned. Sean said, yeah,

53
00:03:10,600 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 3: I'm really concerned. Well, in retrospect, he wasn't really concerned

54
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:18,440
Speaker 3: about anything with Steph being in the right spot. He

55
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,400
Speaker 3: was just he's always he's concerned about Steph like he's

56
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 3: concerned about all of his players, and that's what he meant.

57
00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600
Speaker 3: And then that's all it was said. And he didn't

58
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 3: get asked a follow up question to clarify it, and

59
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:31,280
Speaker 3: everybody ran with whatever they could imagine. None of it

60
00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: was true. You and I sat here and I told

61
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 3: you I didn't think this was anything to be worried about,

62
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:43,520
Speaker 3: and it's not. And I've been through all this stuff

63
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 3: in the locker room, and a lot of athletes out

64
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 3: there have who have you know, you've had the camp

65
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 3: fight fights at training camp, but stuff way worse than this,

66
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 3: and it's fine. It's not something to worry about. This

67
00:03:57,280 --> 00:04:00,880
Speaker 3: is a really close knit group who are working toward

68
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: a really difficult objective, and it's it's hard everywhere in

69
00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 3: your relationships, on your on your teammates. You gotta you know,

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 3: you got guys you love and respect who you got

71
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 3: to have hard conversations with. It happens. And that's what

72
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,280
Speaker 3: this all was with Steph Diggs. And it doesn't mean

73
00:04:18,320 --> 00:04:20,799
Speaker 3: he's unhappy with Buffalo, doesn't mean he hates Josh, doesn't

74
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 3: mean Josh hates him or and he was great when

75
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 3: he said listen. He goes, I don't know the first

76
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 3: thing about calling a game. I did not want.

77
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:31,120
Speaker 2: Somebody asked him, you want a bigger role in the offense.

78
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 4: He goes, are you kidding me? I play wide receiver, right.

79
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,040
Speaker 2: I don't have the first clue about the plays that

80
00:04:36,080 --> 00:04:37,960
Speaker 2: get called any game and why they're called.

81
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 4: I just execute my assignment.

82
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 3: That's right. And so that all that stuff going around

83
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 3: about you know, him not getting enough targets and all,

84
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,720
Speaker 3: it's all come on. It's just relaxed. Yeah, and he's

85
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,560
Speaker 3: you know, and rightfully, so he's saying, listen, I'm all

86
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,240
Speaker 3: the stuff we were talking about. It's it's not for

87
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,080
Speaker 3: everybody to hear. It's just between us and We're going

88
00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:01,120
Speaker 3: to keep it that way and that's yeah, that's the

89
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 3: way it should be.

90

119
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 2: you're buttoning up roster things yesterday. I got to imagine

120
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 2: like the old scout and you just want to get

121
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 2: out on the field and watch.

122
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:20,120
Speaker 5: These guys, right, yeah, yeah.

123
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,960
Speaker 6: The best part is when you're not paying attention to

124
00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 6: your phone. You're out there and you're watching football and

125
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 6: you're watching these guys come together and it's you know,

126
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,240
Speaker 6: this is you have the off season, your work, but

127
00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 6: it's it's voluntary. Everyone's here, everyone's working with the groups,

128
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 6: and you're starting to say, all right, this is day

129
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:41,839
Speaker 6: one of whatever art you're you're building, you know, you're

130
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,720
Speaker 6: or you're painting.

131
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,159
Speaker 5: It's it's not gonna look pretty. There was definitely some.

132
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,279
Speaker 6: Some rough patches in practice today to be expected, but

133
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,640
Speaker 6: it'll it'll, it should continue to.

134
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:51,800
Speaker 3: Get back a good thing. It's the good and the

135
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:52,600
Speaker 3: bad about practice.

136
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 7: Though.

137
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 3: If it's if it's a rough patch for Josh and

138
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 3: the offense, it's actually a good patch for the defense,

139
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 3: and you got guys playing well and and it's it's

140
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:02,320
Speaker 3: a give and take. I saw the two minute drill

141
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:03,719
Speaker 3: at the end of practice. They were doing the two

142
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 3: minute and the second offense got stopped. Yeah, and everybody's like, oh, no,

143
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,560
Speaker 3: we didn't. I was like, no, no, your team won.

144
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 5: He still win defense.

145
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

146
00:07:14,080 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 6: Everybody's a fan of the offense in general, the fans, Yeah,

147
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,200
Speaker 6: but yeah, it's yeah, the the offense on the second

148
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,480
Speaker 6: group took a couple of steps back, a penalty of

149
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 6: sack and uh.

150
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 3: Right to start to drive.

151
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

152
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 3: They was like it was first and twenty three.

153
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 6: I was like, ooh yeah, out of about the minus

154
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 6: seven or six yard lines. So it's a good point

155
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 6: that the coaches will be able to point out the

156
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 6: guys on you know, you cannot have critical mistakes.

157
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,400
Speaker 5: At that point.

158
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 6: That was pretty much game set match, because I think

159
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,400
Speaker 6: when we got to the minus seven there was like

160
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 6: thirty six seconds left with right one time out. You're

161
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 6: you're and they and what they do They ran out

162
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 6: of time around midfield.

163
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's right.

164
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 4: Just for some bookkeeping. So Nahim Hines goes on non.

165
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 2: Football injury list, Yes, and I mean we were like,

166
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 2: we felt terrible for the kid. I mean, my gosh,

167
00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:00,520
Speaker 2: talk about this right for camp.

168
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,160
Speaker 5: It was horrible.

169
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think fans have been asking us and

170
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:06,360
Speaker 2: I think we have a pretty good handle on it.

171
00:08:06,400 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 2: But just what the non football injury list means for

172
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:10,600
Speaker 2: him going forward?

173
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's just a it's a declaration of it. It happened,

174
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,560
Speaker 6: not on the football field or not training in the

175
00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,800
Speaker 6: weight room or something like that, not a rehab thing.

176
00:08:21,840 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 5: It happened.

177
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 6: It's a non It's exactly what is a non football injury,

178
00:08:25,960 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 6: and those can be various things, and so it's just

179
00:08:28,320 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 6: categorized that from a contractual standpoint. You know, well, we'll

180
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 6: stay internal on how we're going to handle all that.

181
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,760
Speaker 6: There's some various things you can do, but he'll be basically,

182
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 6: if you're a fan, just think of it. He's on

183
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 6: injury reserve for the season. We still have him under

184
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 6: contract for twenty twenty four and so, as we said

185
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 6: here today, hopefully he has not had surgery yet, Hopefully

186
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 6: he'll have a successful surgery, we can get that rehab

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 6: process started and hopefully, you know, this time next year

188
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 6: we're talking about him, you know, returned to the field.

189
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:06,760
Speaker 3: Right, So as day one kicks off, what, first of all,

190
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: what's the number one on your to do list for

191
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:11,880
Speaker 3: this training camp and what what struck you about today's.

192
00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, we got some battles that that are

193
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 6: gonna happen. We're just talking about it with the media

194
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:21,280
Speaker 6: over there, whether it's corner, Mike linebacker, these you know,

195
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 6: the offensive line, especially the interior guys. There's some guys

196
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 6: that have obviously we we drafted, you know, the young

197
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 6: man from Florida. But you know, we've got some veteran

198
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,959
Speaker 6: guys baits played there for us last year, David Edwards,

199
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 6: we brought Connor McGovern, Ike Buckers back. I mean, there's

200
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 6: just we got some guys that have had some legit

201
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 6: play experience, you know, David Edwards starting the Super Bowl

202
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,959
Speaker 6: and that was a really good team. So, uh, that's

203
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,199
Speaker 6: gonna be a really good battle in there. It was

204
00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 6: good to see Mitch Morse back out there. Uh. I

205
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,680
Speaker 6: thought Spencer Brown, Uh, you know, did well today. You

206
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 6: know day for Day one, we're not in pads. So

207
00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 6: until we get and pads, some of these guys that'll

208
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 6: uh is to be determined, but a lot of battles.

209
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 6: You know, some of these receiver roles. We got some

210
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 6: new guys that are gonna you know, Shakiir is gonna

211
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 6: have a bigger role. He's not a rookie anymore year

212
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: one with Hardy, you know, and he'll probably have a

213
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 6: bigger role in special teams now that Nahim's gone, So

214
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,720
Speaker 6: figuring that out and and so it's gonna be good

215
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:24,320
Speaker 6: to have. You know, we didn't have all these guys

216
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,959
Speaker 6: on the field at the same time, you know, in

217
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,520
Speaker 6: in May and June, so now that they're kind of

218
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:30,600
Speaker 6: see how they gel together.

219
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,679
Speaker 2: Speaking of that, so the slot receiver role is kind

220
00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: of a fascinating thing because of all these pieces you have.

221
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:40,160
Speaker 2: Now you know, Sherfield can line up in there, Shakira,

222
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 2: as you mentioned, Hardy can line up in there. And

223
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 2: then you have Kinkaid too, who's gonna be detached a

224
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 2: good amount of the time. We hear about running back

225
00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: by committee all the time. Could you foresee a time

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: or a role with the slot receiver position kind of

227
00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:01,200
Speaker 2: gravitating towards maybe a committee approach? So can Dorsey says, well,

228
00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: I like this matchup a whole lot better. This week,

229
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 2: I'm gonna use Hardy or I'm gonna use Sherfield more

230
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,840
Speaker 2: for a little more size and you know, leverage in

231
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:11,600
Speaker 2: the red zone or something. And like could you foresee yeah,

232
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 2: committee position being the slot receiver role.

233
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 6: Yep, no doubt. And then listen, some of those guys

234
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 6: can also play outside. So it could be that they're

235
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 6: in the huddle with two guys that primarily play slot

236
00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:24,960
Speaker 6: and the defense doesn't know exactly who's lining upware you

237
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,640
Speaker 6: know who's going you know who's going to where the weather.

238
00:11:26,800 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 6: Sherfield can play outside, Shakir you saw him do it

239
00:11:29,640 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 6: last year as well.

240
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,040
Speaker 5: Even Hardy can do it.

241
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:34,120
Speaker 6: He's a smaller guy, but he's got enough straight line

242
00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,199
Speaker 6: speed to get it out that he can be a

243
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 6: vertical presence for us, you know if he lines up outside.

244
00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,200
Speaker 3: So if you get into this training companies, you watch

245
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:44,559
Speaker 3: things develop. Obviously there's a lot of question marks. You

246
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,960
Speaker 3: got guys that you don't know about new players who

247
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,600
Speaker 3: even though they got to chops in the NFL, they're

248
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 3: veteran guys, like like the interior offensive line you're talking about.

249
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 3: What about the draft picks? I mean this, you know,

250
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,200
Speaker 3: Dalton Kinkaid is a guy everybody wants to see to play.

251
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: They want to see more from James Cook, who last year,

252
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 3: who you know kind of earned his way. Who are

253
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 3: some of the young guys that you're thinking, you know

254
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: that maybe under the radar for all of us. I mean,

255
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,640
Speaker 3: we talked Brownie and I talk about these draft picks

256
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,440
Speaker 3: all the time, so we kind of know him by heart.

257
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 3: But what are some of the guys that you think,

258
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 3: you know, this guy's got a chance.

259
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,440
Speaker 6: Yeah, if any, Yeah, I mean, I think let's start

260
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 6: with last year's drafts.

261
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 5: I mean, you said it. I think James is going

262
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 5: to have every opportunity.

263
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 6: I thought he really matured in understanding the you know, pro.

264
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 5: Football last year.

265
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 6: And that's that's it's it's different than college. There are

266
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 6: similar things, but it's it's still this is a pro game.

267
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 5: It's different.

268
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 6: It's seventeen weeks, the preparation that goes in and you

269
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 6: don't you don't have the twenty hour rule of you

270
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:43,600
Speaker 6: know how much the coaches can have them. And so

271
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:47,320
Speaker 6: I thought James really, you know, matured a lot down

272
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 6: the stretch, and I thought the coaches gained confidence as season.

273
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 6: So I'm excited to see him. Shakir same thing because

274
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,160
Speaker 6: we had other guys, you know, veteran guys.

275
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,200
Speaker 5: The coaches tend to you know, they tend to go

276
00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 5: that way.

277
00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,720
Speaker 6: But I thought down the stretch, him and Josh started

278
00:13:02,720 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: really forming a rapport and that's continued this offseason. So

279
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,320
Speaker 6: you know, those guys, you know, Benford and elm are

280
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 6: gonna be battling it out, you know over there with

281
00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 6: Dane and so uh, those are still two young players

282
00:13:16,200 --> 00:13:19,320
Speaker 6: and you know, and then this year's draft, obviously, Kink

283
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 6: there's a lot of excitement about anytime there's a pass catcher,

284
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,240
Speaker 6: whether he's a receiver or you know, whatever role he is,

285
00:13:24,280 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 6: tight end. But you know, Dalton is just a pro.

286
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 6: He's hungry to learn. He's got a low ego. He's

287
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,120
Speaker 6: just you know, you don't hear him saying he's good

288
00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,080
Speaker 6: or anything like that. He's just coming in here, head down,

289
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,520
Speaker 6: working and the ball comes his way, great and you

290
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 6: know he'll make the play. You know, we talked about

291
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 6: you know, you know Cybo from Florida Cyrus. Yeah, he's

292
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,439
Speaker 6: you know, he's coming into his own and again, I'm

293
00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 6: excited to see him in pats.

294
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:51,320
Speaker 5: I haven't got to see him in pads yet.

295
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 6: You're talking about a three hundred and thirty something pound

296
00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: young man who's got, you know, good foot agility for

297
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 6: a guy that size, and so I'm excited see what

298
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 6: that looks like in pads Dorian. You know, we're probably

299
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:07,280
Speaker 6: we you know, messed around with him at Mike. It's

300
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:08,880
Speaker 6: a lot. You know, we talked about that when we

301
00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 6: drafted him. You know, what he was asked to do

302
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 6: and the complexity of the defense at Tulane versus the

303
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 6: complexity of.

304
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:16,360
Speaker 5: An NFL defense. Big jump.

305
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,840
Speaker 6: Even Terrell Bernard year two inspector talking to those guys

306
00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 6: like how much better they feel coming to this camp

307
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 6: than last year drinking out of a fire hose. So

308
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 6: Dorian's gonna start out more over there with with Milano

309
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 6: kind of on an outside position. Doesn't mean we wouldn't

310
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 6: move him back at some point, but we think you

311
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 6: don't want those guys thinking too much.

312
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 5: Then he's gonna lose the speed and athletic ability's gotten.

313
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 5: So we'll see how that goes.

314
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 6: He will obviously be a big big player on special

315
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 6: teams for us as well, and then you know, we'll

316
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 6: see what Justin Shorter does. You know, he's still developing

317
00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 6: as a receiver, but you know, as a fourth down

318
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:53,840
Speaker 6: player force, you know, he needs to show that he

319
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 6: can dominate there and if he wants to earn a jersey.

320
00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:58,200
Speaker 5: So a lot of a lot of a lot of

321
00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 5: young guys that you know have to prove it. But

322
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:01,960
Speaker 5: you'll be excited to watch.

323
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: So that middle linebacker spot, you know you've got the

324
00:15:05,760 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 2: two guys you just mentioned, Specter and Bernard in the

325
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: mix there. It looks like aj Klein is your veteran

326
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:15,200
Speaker 2: insurance because you know what he can do correct and

327
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 2: then Dodson and Tyrell. Right, So how do you And

328
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: I asked Bobby Babbage this back in the spring, and

329
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,200
Speaker 2: he didn't want to pin it down. But knowing that

330
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 2: preseasons are shorter than they used to be, yeah, knowing

331
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: you don't have two a day practices to give all

332
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: three guys or four guys the reps you want, how

333
00:15:33,480 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: do you navigate that and decide a when to whittle

334
00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: to pool down to three or two and then b

335
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: decide on a time where all right, we got to

336
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,320
Speaker 2: make a decision here so we can get that guy

337
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 2: that's gonna start ready for week one.

338
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:50,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a great question.

339
00:15:50,920 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 6: I wish I could tell you you just follow this

340
00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 6: calendar like you do when you're training for a marathon.

341
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 6: Today run six miles, they run nine miles. Like everything.

342
00:16:00,240 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 6: You just in my experience, you kind of watch it.

343
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 6: You let it flow, see what happens. Usually in some

344
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:08,880
Speaker 6: form or fashion. At some point the cream will start

345
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 6: rising the top. Sometimes a guy can get nicked up,

346
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 6: it sets him back. There's so we'll just kind of

347
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 6: let it unfold, see how it plays out. You're right,

348
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 6: you do get to a point, especially after you know

349
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:22,320
Speaker 6: you played at least one or two preseason games.

350
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 5: Now that you only have three.

351
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 6: I think when you've played two, you kind of at

352
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 6: that point that's probably a not that you wait that long,

353
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 6: but that's probably getting to be a drop dead point.

354
00:16:32,720 --> 00:16:34,960
Speaker 6: At a minimum, it's got to be down to two

355
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 6: at that point, probably just to give yourself that that

356
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 6: third preseason game. So I think you kind of know

357
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 6: sometimes you know, hey, the battles still going, or you

358
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,479
Speaker 6: know what, two weeks from now, we're already going, Hey, player.

359
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 5: X is one that drinks them to.

360
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 3: One of the problems with that is that linebacker is

361
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 3: the physicality of them. Yeah, so you got Brownie and

362
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 3: I have been talking about this. I think the adjustment

363
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 3: these days. God, I'm talking as an old guy. These days,

364
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 3: I think the adjustment once they put pads on is

365
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,000
Speaker 3: really big, bigger than it's ever been, because so much

366
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,920
Speaker 3: of what you do has to be without pads, and

367
00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 3: you don't get a chance to see it. And as

368
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 3: you know, even back in my day and back in

369
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,840
Speaker 3: the old days, guys separate themselves because of the physicality

370
00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: and they're good at it. That's what their thing is,

371
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,399
Speaker 3: and you never get to see that. So when you

372
00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:23,800
Speaker 3: do put pads on here in the next week or so,

373
00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 3: things really can change. Top Like some guys absolutely disappear, yeah,

374
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 3: and then other guys are like, wow, look at that,

375
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 3: and it's a guy that and just flip flops in

376
00:17:34,600 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 3: some respects, particularly at a position like lying back or

377
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:41,680
Speaker 3: where no doubt you can't shy away from it.

378
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:46,200
Speaker 6: No, I've always said, this game's not played in shorts

379
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 6: and T shirt. Flag football is a great teacher for

380
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 6: our game, but our game is in pads and the physicality. Yes,

381
00:17:53,960 --> 00:17:55,879
Speaker 6: the mental reps and all that. You get that in

382
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:58,600
Speaker 6: May and June in the first few days here, but

383
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,119
Speaker 6: the pads, you know, we'll definitely start to separate.

384
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 5: We're looking for guys with athletic ability.

385
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 6: But you can be the greatest athlete in the world

386
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:09,600
Speaker 6: if you can't fill the hole and you're constantly you know,

387
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:13,080
Speaker 6: getting run over, or the guys getting every ball carrier

388
00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,120
Speaker 6: that's coming through there is getting three and four extra.

389
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:15,920
Speaker 5: Yards every time.

390
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 6: That's not gonna work either, you get stuck on blocks,

391
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:22,680
Speaker 6: all those things that are lignean right now, they can't

392
00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 6: do that, you know. So these guys are getting free

393
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 6: access to go fill holes and you might mentally know

394
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,359
Speaker 6: where the hole is, but when the pads come on,

395
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 6: if you if you get.

396
00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 5: Stuck on blocks or you're on your backside, that doesn't help.

397
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 5: That doesn't work.

398
00:18:35,880 --> 00:18:38,159
Speaker 6: So that's exactly the point I was making to the

399
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,480
Speaker 6: media over there. That is very that is not you know,

400
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:43,399
Speaker 6: we have no idea yet. These guys are not been

401
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:46,480
Speaker 6: in pads and so until we see that, you know,

402
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:48,280
Speaker 6: it has yet to be determined.

403
00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:50,639
Speaker 2: Steve would be the first to tell you that I

404
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:55,160
Speaker 2: am the number one flag waiver of the coaching staff's

405
00:18:55,520 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 2: player development skills because it is the biggest difference that

406
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 2: I see with Sean McDermott's staff than any other staff

407
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,479
Speaker 2: since two thousand.

408
00:19:03,560 --> 00:19:05,440
Speaker 4: Here it's far and away better.

409
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 2: And we've seen guys make the jump in year three,

410
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:12,680
Speaker 2: maybe more than any other. It used to be in

411
00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: year two when they used to get more reps to

412
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:16,080
Speaker 2: a day's and all that stuff. Now it seems to

413
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:20,320
Speaker 2: be more year three. You know, whether it's Josh Tarren, Dawson, Knox,

414
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:21,040
Speaker 2: there's probably others.

415
00:19:21,040 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 5: I'm forgetting.

416
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: We've got Greg Russo and Spencer Brown are two important

417
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:28,200
Speaker 2: positions entering year three. How realistic is it? Do you

418
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 2: think that they can make the same kind of jumps

419
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 2: that we've seen from other players during your Guys regime?

420
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I would put Boogie in there as well.

421
00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 6: I think Boogie had a really strong offseason, didn't I

422
00:19:39,920 --> 00:19:43,359
Speaker 6: don't think he missed one day of OTAs. And that

423
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 6: shows you right there, the dedication, because you can easily say, hey,

424
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,479
Speaker 6: I'm gonna take a long weekend or I'm gonna stay here.

425
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 6: There he went out to Xo's in Arizona when the

426
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 6: season was over, on his own, on his own dime,

427
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:57,920
Speaker 6: and worked until our offseason program start.

428
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,840
Speaker 5: Didn't miss a day, and so I just wanted to

429
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:01,520
Speaker 5: add him in there.

430
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,760
Speaker 4: Absolutely. I'm glad you did.

431
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:06,960
Speaker 6: As another third year guy that has flashed and you've

432
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:09,879
Speaker 6: seen plays and that Miami playoff game last year, he's

433
00:20:09,920 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 6: had a you know some game like uh including I remember,

434
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 6: you know, most specifically that Miami playoff game, but him Rousseau,

435
00:20:18,200 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 6: you know, Greg, I felt so bad he just got

436
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 6: that high in cold at the Jets last year and

437
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 6: it really, uh, he was a different player, you know,

438
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 6: down the stretch than he was.

439
00:20:27,880 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 5: He was really the.

440
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:32,119
Speaker 6: Physicality the first year. I thought he needed to improve

441
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,359
Speaker 6: his physicality and that was what we challenged you with.

442
00:20:34,560 --> 00:20:36,360
Speaker 6: And I thought he embraced it. I thought he took

443
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,439
Speaker 6: it because as you guys know, Greig's the nicest guy

444
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,679
Speaker 6: in the world, like just super nice, and you got

445
00:20:40,760 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 6: to be able to flip that switch.

446
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:43,639
Speaker 5: And he and told him, you know, you got to

447
00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:45,200
Speaker 5: get some some a hole inion.

448
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:46,320
Speaker 4: And and he did it.

449
00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:49,160
Speaker 5: He did it, and so I loved it. And who

450
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 5: else were we talking about? And Spencer same thing?

451
00:20:52,480 --> 00:20:54,760
Speaker 6: You know, I know, Spencer's got his his critics out there,

452
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 6: and in Spencer's critical himself. And listen, we've had some

453
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,840
Speaker 6: straight up talks. Hey, uh, this has got to happen.

454
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:01,440
Speaker 6: This has got to be.

455
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 8: But he is.

456
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 6: He's been here the whole off season, worked hard, body

457
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:08,679
Speaker 6: looks good, in a good headspace, and he's healthy. He's

458
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 6: got he's healthy, you know, missing a whole the whole

459
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,400
Speaker 6: off season. Again, you wouldn't say I'm making excuses.

460
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:14,920
Speaker 5: That's fine.

461
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,679
Speaker 6: Uh, that's that's the reality. You can't make up those reps.

462
00:21:19,200 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 6: You you have to have reps. I don't care if

463
00:21:21,119 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 6: you're playing golf. I don't care if you're playing basketball.

464
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 6: You have to have reps. And especially when you have

465
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 6: to go out there and block premium pass rushers like

466
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 6: our league has.

467
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,520
Speaker 3: So off the record, not off the record, but off

468
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: topic and little off the record, and because nobody nobody's

469
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 3: listening to us talk. So today Justin Herbert signs is

470
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 3: his deal and more and more, it's looking like you

471
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 3: signed Josh at the right time for the right money,

472
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:46,920
Speaker 3: and it's it's not gonna cripple you. I mean, I

473
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 3: was looking at the rankings. Mahomes is number one on

474
00:21:49,880 --> 00:21:53,119
Speaker 3: the cap hit this year for NFL court for NFL teams,

475
00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 3: your guy is thirty ninth. It seems as though it

476
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 3: gets you get for the and for the get into

477
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,120
Speaker 3: this contract. The better and better it is, you're finding

478
00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:04,880
Speaker 3: ways to do that. The cat looks like it's gonna

479
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 3: go up. It looks like it's gonna go up big

480
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: time this next year. I would think, what are you saying?

481
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:11,120
Speaker 5: What are you doing?

482
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:12,920
Speaker 3: And what do you think that the future holds for

483
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 3: that spot? Because now they're talking about running backs being

484
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,360
Speaker 3: set aside as a you know, they're trying to talk

485
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: guys into that, and you know that that's not gonna happen.

486
00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 2: But in the.

487
00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,880
Speaker 3: Quarterbacks continued, Joe Burrow's coming up next. He's gonna he's

488
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,840
Speaker 3: gonna hit a Grand Slam. How do you view that

489
00:22:30,119 --> 00:22:33,399
Speaker 3: these days? With the ever changing market? Sign your your

490
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,600
Speaker 3: guys under you got your guys. You know, Josh is

491
00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 3: tied up and you got him under contract and all that,

492
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:39,800
Speaker 3: so you're kind of buttoned up. What do you think

493
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:40,439
Speaker 3: it's headed though?

494
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean the numbers, I mean it's crazy. We

495
00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,680
Speaker 5: did Josh two years ago, not even two years ago,

496
00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:46,679
Speaker 5: just you know.

497
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 6: Whatever it was, whatever day it was in August, so

498
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 6: almost two years ago, and you know, forty three million

499
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,359
Speaker 6: bucks a year at that time was a jaw dropper.

500
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 6: But now you're getting well into the fifties. So I

501
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 6: mean that tells me in two years it's gonna be

502
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:07,200
Speaker 6: in the sixties. You know, it's where it's trending. And

503
00:23:08,560 --> 00:23:10,840
Speaker 6: you know, we love Josh and you know that's the

504
00:23:10,920 --> 00:23:13,399
Speaker 6: thing about Josh is he you know, he wanted to

505
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 6: do a deal.

506
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 5: He wants to win, and you know, you guys know

507
00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 5: him well as us.

508
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,800
Speaker 6: Yes, everyone wants respect and wants to be paid with

509
00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:25,200
Speaker 6: their peers and things like that. No doubt, Josh wants

510
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:28,119
Speaker 6: to bring a Lombardi and so, uh he worked with

511
00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,120
Speaker 6: us on his deal and we wanted to be fair

512
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,399
Speaker 6: to him, and so uh, yeah, the numbers are going

513
00:23:32,440 --> 00:23:36,119
Speaker 6: to continue to rise, and so you know, we're fortunate

514
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,239
Speaker 6: that we have Josh under contract and hopefully we can

515
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 6: continue to build around that. Hopefully, as you said, I'm

516
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 6: crossing my fingers for a big cap increase because we're

517
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 6: gonna need it again next year.

518
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 5: But we'll figure that out as it comes.

519
00:23:48,880 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 4: The last one I've got for you.

520
00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 2: You reference this when you spoke to the media back

521
00:23:53,240 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 2: during Mini camp, when you said Brian Gain reminded me

522
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,800
Speaker 2: that since May first, we got twelve new guys on

523
00:23:58,880 --> 00:23:59,280
Speaker 2: the roster.

524
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 4: Can you recall a time.

525
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: In personnel where you can land players the caliber of

526
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 2: Poonaford and Leonard Floyd in June. Like, to me, I can't,

527
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 2: like those are huge acquisitions that you know, people are

528
00:24:16,359 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 2: like a one year dal.

529
00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 4: I'm just like, we got Pooniford Land Floyd in June.

530
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 2: Like what can you recall a time where the market

531
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 2: was so flush with talent that late in the game.

532
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, it's it's weird because free agency. Free

533
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,359
Speaker 5: agency is not always cracked up to be.

534
00:24:32,760 --> 00:24:35,960
Speaker 6: You know, I find myself sometimes feeling bad for guys

535
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 6: that you're hearing their market's gonna be X and for

536
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 6: whatever reason, uh, they were always the bridesmaid. They were

537
00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 6: it was gonna be X if they didn't get this player.

538
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:48,320
Speaker 6: This team was gonna be X if they didn't get

539
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,639
Speaker 6: this player, and they just they keep being the bridesmaid

540
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 6: and next thing, you know, their market drops and and

541
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,399
Speaker 6: every you know, again, I don't know specifically you know,

542
00:24:57,520 --> 00:24:59,879
Speaker 6: what these two players were looking for to begin, you know,

543
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,160
Speaker 6: to begin free agency.

544
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 5: But uh, I feel fortunate that we were able to

545
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 5: get both those guys here.

546
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,800
Speaker 6: I think they're gonna help, you know, our our whole

547
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,440
Speaker 6: D line pass rush run game, you know all the above.

548
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 5: Both both of them excel in both areas well.

549
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 3: Certainly, this is a roster that we've been talking about

550
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 3: it for months now, in weeks, it seems much more

551
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:25,199
Speaker 3: deep and better at the top then it has been

552
00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 3: in the years past. So congratulations for that. They look

553
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:28,879
Speaker 3: great on the field, and thanks thanks for coming to

554
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:29,679
Speaker 3: spending time with us.

555
00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 5: Love being here, love being with you guys. Hopefully we

556
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:35,879
Speaker 5: can hopefully Nahim is our only injury and we can

557
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 5: we can stay healthy the rest of the way out.

558
00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll keep your see when you're gonna come in

559
00:25:39,040 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 3: and visit us like twice a week because you've got

560
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 3: nothing going on going on whatever needs keep that sundscreen handy.

561
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,760
Speaker 2: I appreciate you Bill's general manager, Brandon being joining us

562
00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 2: here on One Bills Live. We'll take a break and

563
00:25:51,359 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: be back with some of Stefan Digg's comments with the

564
00:25:53,359 --> 00:25:56,159
Speaker 2: media earlier today Here on One Bills Live, presented by

565
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:09,959
Speaker 2: Kalida Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back

566
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:11,920
Speaker 2: to One Bill's Live here at training camp at Saint

567
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:13,919
Speaker 2: John Fisher. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. A good

568
00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: conversation there with Brandon Bean maybe the most notable thing

569
00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:18,840
Speaker 2: to come out of it. And I was going to

570
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 2: ask him about it, and he actually answered it before

571
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,200
Speaker 2: I even had to ask him, basically confirming that Dorian Williams,

572
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 2: at least for now, is going to focus on the

573
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:31,479
Speaker 2: weak side linebacker position and not the MIC. So right

574
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,920
Speaker 2: now he is not part of the mic linebacker competition.

575
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,119
Speaker 2: And I think it's a byproduct of not wanting to

576
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,720
Speaker 2: overload the kid, you know, get him learn a position.

577
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 2: This is a defense that's got a lot of responsibilities

578
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,240
Speaker 2: within it. Line up behind a veteran in Matt Mulano

579
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 2: and learn the spot from a vet who can give

580
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 2: you pointers. And let the guys that have been here

581
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 2: for a year, Specter and Bernard work with KWin and

582
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 2: Dodson who's been here. With Dodson it's his fourth year.

583
00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: So let those guys battle it out at least right now.

584
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 5: Now.

585
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,679
Speaker 3: You will say this though, I mean, you're you're going

586
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 3: to back up a guy like man Milano. You're not

587
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: seeing the field.

588
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:10,720
Speaker 4: But I think he is going to be up on

589
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:11,440
Speaker 4: special teams.

590
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:12,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, they've gotta have a guy there, and

591
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see how else he can contribute,

592
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,320
Speaker 3: but you know, somebody's going to be behind man Milano

593
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 3: and if you want to and you know it's in

594
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,480
Speaker 3: a backhanded sort of way, it's it's protection for the kid.

595
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah.

596
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,120
Speaker 3: Milano's a sturdy player, plays every down and he's gonna

597
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 3: be able to be up be practicing beyond the team, uh,

598
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 3: and an emergency and he'll probably get some reps at

599
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 3: some point during the season, be out there and get

600
00:27:36,600 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 3: in it well without the pressure of you know, being

601
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 3: the guy.

602
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, we can.

603
00:27:40,600 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 3: Wett'll be you know, next year, he'll come in here

604
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:44,800
Speaker 3: and he'll feel like you'll be ready to play. And

605
00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 3: if they do want to move him then or if

606
00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 3: they want to work him out during the season at Mike,

607
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:55,440
Speaker 3: then they can do that without having the pressure of

608
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:56,640
Speaker 3: having to have him ready.

609
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 5: For to play.

610
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 4: Will Yeah, you can kind of cross train.

611
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you cross training the season as a as a

612
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 2: practice squad mic, right or not a practice squad, Mike,

613
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: what I mean?

614
00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 4: I look a scout team, a scout team, scout team mic.

615
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's a perfect place, I mean because there's

616
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:12,080
Speaker 3: a couple of plays like that. You know, if you

617
00:28:12,080 --> 00:28:14,120
Speaker 3: want to if you have a young quarterback, who else

618
00:28:14,160 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 3: to play behind then Josh because he's not coming off

619
00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 3: the field. Same thing with you know guys, some backups,

620
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 3: a young ciner like they got a bunch of guys

621
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: snapping the ball now, it's a great place to be

622
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 3: where they can learn the offense. They can hide a

623
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 3: guy on the active roster if he can contribute on

624
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:30,120
Speaker 3: special teams or anything else he can do. Uh, play

625
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 3: at any one of the five spots. Is the way

626
00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,280
Speaker 3: where Baits started his career, you know. And same thing

627
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 3: with with Williams because you know he can hide out

628
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,920
Speaker 3: and stay on the roster, contribute in certain ways and

629
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 3: still be learning and being a part of the team

630
00:28:46,400 --> 00:28:49,880
Speaker 3: and being an actual player without having to actually have

631
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,760
Speaker 3: the team depend on him every week.

632
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 8: So it's right.

633
00:28:52,480 --> 00:28:54,880
Speaker 3: It's a way to hide a good player behind a

634
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:56,360
Speaker 3: player who just never takes a break.

635
00:28:56,560 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for those of those are the fans that

636
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: come out to training camp, it's how come a guy

637
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 2: like aj Klins not getting more time at the middle

638
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:05,080
Speaker 2: linebacker position.

639
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: You heard Brandon Bean say it. They already know what

640
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,600
Speaker 4: he can do in that role. He's a veteran player.

641
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 2: McDermott had him as a middle linebacker behind Luke Keigley

642
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,280
Speaker 2: in Carolina for four years. He knows what he can

643
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:18,680
Speaker 2: do and what he can't do, and he's had him

644
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 2: here for two different stints as well. He doesn't need

645
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 2: the reps. The guys that need the reps are Bernard,

646
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 2: Specter and Dotson, and I would anticipate those guys are

647
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 2: going to get the bulk of the work there through

648
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 2: the course of camp so they can make an educated decision.

649
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 2: You hear personnelmen say it all the time, Steve, let

650
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 2: the information help you make the best decision. Well, the

651
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 2: information is how are they performing in these reps? How

652
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 2: do they have the answers in the classroom when they're

653
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 2: going through film, you know, and are they communicating to

654
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:50,719
Speaker 2: their teammates in an effective enough way to get everybody

655
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 2: lined up right before the snap or to make a

656
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:56,240
Speaker 2: snap a pre snap check when the other team adjusts prior.

657
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 3: To And it's interesting too, because there's a guy on

658
00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,960
Speaker 3: the roster we kind of haven't even talked about his names,

659
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,200
Speaker 3: Travan Howard. He's been around the block.

660
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 2: Right this is his third year in the league, hasn't

661
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,760
Speaker 2: played much because of injuries, but he's with was with

662
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,680
Speaker 2: the Rams the last couple of years.

663
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 3: Right, And I think he as a rookie won the

664
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 3: They won the whole thing, So that's right. It's not

665
00:30:17,600 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 3: like he hasn't been around and he's not going to

666
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 3: come in looking to resurrect a career that was had

667
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:23,800
Speaker 3: some promise and has already seen some accomplishments.

668
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 4: He's a week ago.

669
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:30,240
Speaker 3: They've got they got some guys, and I don't think

670
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 3: that you know, you're if you're coaching staff, that's the

671
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 3: decision you make. You keep a guy like Travan Howard

672
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:39,880
Speaker 3: up and active on game day because he's a better

673
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 3: linebacker and has a lot more experience and nothing's going

674
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,160
Speaker 3: to be too big for him. And how do you

675
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 3: handle that with a guy like Dorian Williams who you'd

676
00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: like to get some reps and some some play. But

677
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: you know, you got to win this week and you've

678
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 3: got to make sure you got the guys to do it.

679
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: There's only so it'll only go so far. Are you know,

680
00:31:00,960 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 3: looking out to try and protect a guy to keep

681
00:31:02,680 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 3: him around to make sure you see if you can

682
00:31:04,080 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 3: develop him into something better.

683
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: We wanted to turn to the comments made by Stefan

684
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:11,600
Speaker 2: Diggs today as he met the media after the first

685
00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: training camp practice. Naturally, he was asked about the crux

686
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 2: of some of the things that were discussed by him

687
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,760
Speaker 2: and Josh Allen and head coach Sean McDermott back in

688
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:21,400
Speaker 2: the spring. I thought he did a wonderful job in

689
00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 2: spelling it all out for everybody and kind of confirming

690
00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 2: that it really was coming from a good place and

691
00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,239
Speaker 2: while there may have been some difficult conversations, they were

692
00:31:31,280 --> 00:31:33,400
Speaker 2: all for the greater good of the football team. But

693
00:31:33,480 --> 00:31:35,360
Speaker 2: I'll turn it over to Stefan Diggs now, who did

694
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 2: a very good job of explaining just where he was

695
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:39,120
Speaker 2: coming from back in the spring.

696
00:31:40,040 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 9: It feels like he's been ages long off season, excited

697
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 9: to see the guys.

698
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 8: You know, ideas you get.

699
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 9: Away from football for a little bit and then you

700
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 9: start missing it. You get that inchigan just to be

701
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 9: out there in the grass and you know, just running

702
00:31:53,080 --> 00:31:54,040
Speaker 9: around talking junk.

703
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 8: You know, I was talking other things, but you get it.

704
00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 8: Lit PG. Thirteen Now.

705
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,640
Speaker 10: Season, did it feel a little bit longer this season

706
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 10: with the way the last season under all kind of

707
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:09,560
Speaker 10: the the drama that was out there in the I,

708
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:13,320
Speaker 10: in the media and everything. W What did you feel

709
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 10: that the the off season went a little bit longer

710
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 10: than than typically.

711
00:32:16,600 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 8: No, sure, nah, it was a usual distance.

712
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: Uh.

713
00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 8: I mean, I feel like I I enjoyed my time.

714
00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 8: But it wasn't longer at all.

715
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,920
Speaker 9: It was the same distance it has been since I've

716
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 9: been in the league for the past eight years, nine

717
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:30,880
Speaker 9: years now. So uh, I was just excited to get

718
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:33,400
Speaker 9: back for like football had just takes its toll on

719
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,080
Speaker 9: you throughout the year, but once it's done, it's like, damn,

720
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 9: I miss it.

721
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 11: So that was the same distance the express I mean

722
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 11: to show some of the frustrations it was, or whether

723
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 11: it was leading a lot through after the game, and

724
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,520
Speaker 11: so so that seemed to carry some kind of a narrative.

725
00:32:52,560 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 4: I'm just wonrying and l let the people.

726
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:57,920

736
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 9: not ask a question, but just ask a question.

737

741
00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,640
Speaker 9: Everybody's family problems in the house.

742
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 8: Like, Uh, I was here. I did have a conversation

743
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 8: with coach.

744
00:33:54,480 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 12: Uh.

745
00:33:55,120 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 8: You know, and I like to keep things in the house.

746
00:33:56,920 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying. Like, Uh, as a player

747
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,080
Speaker 8: in this I've been in I'm going on my ninth

748
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:02,240
Speaker 8: year right now. You know what I'm saying.

749
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 9: I'm in a very I got more football behind me

750
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 9: than I do in front of me. My main focus

751
00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 9: and my only focus is winning super bowls?

752
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:10,480
Speaker 13: Is is?

753
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:12,759
Speaker 9: I mean, everybody say they want a super Bowl, but

754
00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,160
Speaker 9: we've had legitimate chances at this thing. Like we've had

755
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,480
Speaker 9: the team, we've had the coaches, We've had everything that

756
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 9: we needed. And as far as it's not getting over

757
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:24,200
Speaker 9: the hump, I feel like, uh, it's always asked for

758
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,160
Speaker 9: a cause for a conversation, you know, what I'm saying,

759
00:34:26,160 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 9: I always wanted to have a conversation, and we have

760
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,800
Speaker 9: an open door policy. Coach will tell you as a

761
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,680
Speaker 9: open door policy. And I've had those conversations, so I try.

762
00:34:32,719 --> 00:34:34,319
Speaker 9: I try to keep a lot of things in house.

763
00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 9: But you know what I'm saying, it's regarding last year. Obviously,

764
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,720
Speaker 9: the way we lost was was just terrible in any regard,

765
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 9: you know, and you don't wanna lose any game, but

766
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,319
Speaker 9: we've lost for a couple of years at this point,

767
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:45,239
Speaker 9: and we've been trying to get over the hump, and

768
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 9: obviously it costs for a lot of frustration. But uh,

769
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,680
Speaker 9: all and all, like as far as with that, I

770
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 9: was here where he did have a conversation. Me and

771
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:53,600
Speaker 9: him did have a conversation. It's all water under the

772
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 9: bridge now, but I could I attributed to like, I

773
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 9: mean family matters.

774
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:58,400
Speaker 8: What I'm saying, like, I L.

775
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 9: I don't like dancing around things at don't like I

776
00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 9: don't like those kind of questions. But black and white

777
00:35:02,600 --> 00:35:04,840
Speaker 9: is everybody has family matters. We had a conversation and

778
00:35:04,880 --> 00:35:07,239
Speaker 9: everything it's all as well, Uh water on the bridge

779
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 9: now we're back at work, and you know, I L

780
00:35:09,640 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 9: I look at football.

781
00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:11,880
Speaker 8: You know, it's kind of hard. It's a business at

782
00:35:11,880 --> 00:35:12,520
Speaker 8: the end of the day.

783
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 9: But when you go out there and you fight tooth

784
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,719
Speaker 9: and now you put a lot of sweat equity into

785
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:18,480
Speaker 9: this thing, it starts to feel like a family. So

786
00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:21,680
Speaker 9: for me, I kind of keep everything in the house,

787
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:22,160
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying.

788
00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:22,839
Speaker 8: By at the end of the day.

789
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,480
Speaker 9: Uh, we had those conversations. Everything that we needed to

790
00:35:25,560 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 9: be said was said, and we talked it out as men.

791
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 9: Uh everybody involved where I don't know if you get

792
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:37,480
Speaker 9: too many more questions cause you're a little well, questions

793
00:35:37,520 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 9: aren't as I'm kidding, I'm money kidding.

794
00:35:39,040 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 8: I'm wanted to kill it. Go ahead, no.

795
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,480
Speaker 4: Role in the offense for having more sand the offense.

796
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:46,640
Speaker 1: Are you?

797
00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:46,919
Speaker 3: Yeah?

798
00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:51,239
Speaker 9: That is insane, like for me, like even yeah, but

799
00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:53,279
Speaker 9: I'm just saying, like for me to just want more

800
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,840
Speaker 9: say in the offense, it's crazy Cause I play receiver,

801
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 9: you know what I'm saying, Like, I don't care what

802
00:35:58,000 --> 00:35:58,680
Speaker 9: play is called.

803
00:35:58,719 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 8: You know what I'm saying.

804
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:01,040
Speaker 9: I can't get a bit and say call this like

805
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 9: it's a lot of outlandish, h obvious things where people

806
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 9: were throwing out there or people were saying like as

807
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,600
Speaker 9: far as, like Mike, my role, like I've been a

808
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:11,560
Speaker 9: captain on this team for three years, there's no question

809
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 9: about my role and who who I am as a player,

810
00:36:14,760 --> 00:36:17,640
Speaker 9: how hard I work, Like those things never had question marks,

811
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 9: And you can't say the same thing for a lot

812
00:36:19,160 --> 00:36:20,000
Speaker 9: of people in the league.

813
00:36:20,080 --> 00:36:22,000
Speaker 8: Like as a player, who I am and what I

814
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,160
Speaker 8: am has always been represented, and what I do on

815
00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:25,960
Speaker 8: a consistent pace is how hard I work. You can

816
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 8: see it.

817
00:36:26,680 --> 00:36:28,719
Speaker 9: And my my teammates speak highly about me in that

818
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 9: in that regard, especially considering I've been to captain them

819
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 9: there since I got here. So as far as like

820
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,359
Speaker 9: me wanting to have say so on the play call

821
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 9: and like that's insane to me just because like like

822
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 9: I couldn't call it a player to save my life,

823
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 9: Like I couldn't.

824
00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:41,120
Speaker 8: Call it a game to save my life, Like be

825
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:44,640
Speaker 8: for real for you, Yeah, yeah, that's my guy.

826
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 9: Like that's why I say when this family matters, like

827
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:49,360
Speaker 9: me and him have a conversation like I don't know

828
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:51,600
Speaker 9: if you got kids or you have like siblings, like

829
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:54,200
Speaker 9: y'all don't always get along, and me and him never

830
00:36:54,320 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 9: did not get along. Like know what I'm saying that

831
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,839
Speaker 9: still be that's still been my guy, That's always gonna

832
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:58,239
Speaker 9: be my guy.

833
00:36:58,360 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 8: So uh yeah, why did it seem.

834
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,120
Speaker 10: To take until Mini camp for those conversations to be

835
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 10: had and all this get pashtown?

836
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 5: You know?

837
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 9: It such that that's so long off season that he

838
00:37:09,080 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 9: was talking about earlier. So I mean, I feel like

839
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 9: it's a lot of time, And I mean what do

840
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,000
Speaker 9: people do with out of time? Out of time gives

841
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 9: you a lot of time to think about things, and

842
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:18,759
Speaker 9: you know, regarding at the end of the game or

843
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:20,440
Speaker 9: how things happen with the game, you can kind of

844
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 9: like start musting up like, uh, however you feel about

845
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 9: it from your point of view or from your standpoint.

846
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 8: And that's what it's made for the off season.

847
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:28,840
Speaker 9: It's made for people to talk and it's not a

848
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 9: lot of football going on, so let's talk about things

849
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 9: that's going on outside of football or how the season

850
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 9: in it or this. So for me, I just feel like, uh,

851
00:37:36,080 --> 00:37:38,920
Speaker 9: you know, such a long offseason, so it took a

852
00:37:38,960 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 9: little while.

853
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:41,280
Speaker 14: Nice stuff.

854
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,279
Speaker 8: Huh, how does this team take another step?

855
00:37:43,360 --> 00:37:45,160
Speaker 9: I just continue to grind, like I don't wanna give

856
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,000
Speaker 9: you a vanilla answer, but like at this point, We've

857
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 9: been doing everything that we can.

858
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:49,520
Speaker 8: We got the right pieces.

859
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 9: Uh, you know, I feel like right now we're in

860
00:37:52,200 --> 00:37:54,759
Speaker 9: a great spot kind of like falling kind of like

861
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 9: to that little underdog in in decreases kind of role,

862
00:37:57,760 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 9: like people might be counting us out or putting us

863
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,239
Speaker 9: in the spot where you know, I'm saying they might

864
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 9: not look at us as good as we might be

865
00:38:03,280 --> 00:38:05,920
Speaker 9: or could be. But I promise you this team is

866
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 9: is is damn near working hard. Today was the first

867
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:11,320
Speaker 9: day to get to where we wanna go, and we

868
00:38:11,480 --> 00:38:12,440
Speaker 9: just gotta keep grinding.

869
00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 12: You know.

870
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 8: Obviously we had some bad luck here and there.

871
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,040
Speaker 9: You know what I'm saying, Things happen, good luck for

872
00:38:16,120 --> 00:38:17,719
Speaker 9: other sides, so hopefully we get some luck too.

873
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 12: Had any pressure stuff, you know, with just going through

874
00:38:22,360 --> 00:38:25,120
Speaker 12: that going to the playoffs, I mean, the first three

875
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 12: seasons having all the pieces put together, not achieving the

876
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 12: goal and obviously you guys back now being underdog so

877
00:38:31,239 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 12: many where.

878
00:38:31,840 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 8: Yeah, it's not it's not so much of pressure.

879
00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 9: I just feel like like the mindset of it is

880
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 9: we always wanna win and kind of like I kind

881
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:42,680
Speaker 9: of flip it like so when you see my frustration,

882
00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 9: it kind of makes sense, Like we've been kind of

883
00:38:45,360 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 9: pushing that a rock for some years now and kind

884
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 9: of like not getting that rock over the hill will

885
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 9: frustrate you know what I'm saying. So I just feel

886
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,360
Speaker 9: like we wanna come in from more of a human standpoint.

887
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,080
Speaker 9: If you ever had a job and you've been pushing

888
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:57,759
Speaker 9: at it for a long time and it and it's

889
00:38:57,960 --> 00:39:00,040
Speaker 9: just not turning the corner, you start to draw a

890
00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:01,640
Speaker 9: lot of questions like how can we do things better

891
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:01,920
Speaker 9: than out?

892
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 8: That's when I say, like, I don't have any pressure.

893
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 8: I mean I feel like, uh, the pressure.

894
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:08,520
Speaker 9: Comes from everybody else, Like that's a lot of outside noise,

895
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:11,800
Speaker 9: But the grind is the grind, and we've been putting

896
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 9: the time in consistently, you know, throughout my years since

897
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:17,640
Speaker 9: I've been here, So uh, wanting to see things turn

898
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,759
Speaker 9: the corner. That's where that question drive and that's where

899
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,800
Speaker 9: you see me having conversation. That's when I have a

900
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:22,680
Speaker 9: conversation with X y.

901
00:39:22,760 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 8: Z you like.

902
00:39:23,440 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 9: So I feel like, uh, that open door policy kind

903
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,440
Speaker 9: of like helps us, you know what I'm saying. And

904
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:28,600
Speaker 9: that's just how family works.

905
00:39:30,200 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 7: Alatory Mini camp Jofs described it as a team work. Yeah, issue,

906
00:39:34,840 --> 00:39:37,080
Speaker 7: and is it fair to characterize as it is that

907
00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:40,280
Speaker 7: accurate and and doesn't involve your role in the offense

908
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:41,160
Speaker 7: and targets and that.

909
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 10: Sort of thing.

910
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 8: Well, my time, sorry, team involve your He used the

911
00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:45,960
Speaker 8: word teamwork to describe it.

912
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,080
Speaker 7: I mean, do your did your frustrations whatever you talked about,

913
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 7: involve your role on the offense specifically.

914
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:53,719
Speaker 9: And the number of targets, Na, it's not necessarily because

915
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 9: I've been north of a hundred targets through since my

916
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,960
Speaker 9: my years getting here. If you look at the numbers,

917
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,600
Speaker 9: I've been north of a hundred I think every year

918
00:39:59,640 --> 00:40:01,960
Speaker 9: since i've guy here. So it's not about targets. It

919
00:40:02,120 --> 00:40:04,279
Speaker 9: wasn't a when I say teamwork, I guess when he

920
00:40:04,560 --> 00:40:07,319
Speaker 9: attributed to teamwork, I guess it would be like as

921
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:10,080
Speaker 9: we're out there trying to make things shake, getting on

922
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,920
Speaker 9: the same pace consistently, you know, in those pivotal moments,

923
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,080
Speaker 9: in those moments where we're trying to you know, make

924
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 9: things happen. You know what I'm saying, cause you know, uh,

925
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:19,560
Speaker 9: last year we had like a real feast or famine

926
00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 9: kind of like time when we spend in the rezone,

927
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,200
Speaker 9: like where we weren't clicking on all setting, like we

928
00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:26,160
Speaker 9: would have an amazing touchdown and then we'll have like

929
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 9: a miscue and I and I take a lot of

930
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 9: credit for that, just as far as like, I mean,

931
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:32,399
Speaker 9: what could I do better? How much more time could

932
00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 9: I be putting in? So that's why I think we

933
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,839
Speaker 9: need I mean, in my regard he was talking about

934
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,319
Speaker 9: like teamwork, like I could be a lot better for him,

935
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:40,840
Speaker 9: cause I know, like I always say, I can't imagine

936
00:40:40,840 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 9: how it is to beat the quarterback. And he's into

937
00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:45,600
Speaker 9: our eyes, he's amazing, and he's so hard on himself.

938
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 9: So I just feel like I could be better for him,

939
00:40:48,080 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 9: and I and I.

940
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:55,120
Speaker 2: Will level and we're seeing in his offense, what.

941
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:57,880
Speaker 8: Is my confidence level? I mean, last year we went

942
00:40:57,920 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 8: thirteen to three, Like, come on, I just look at

943
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 8: it as it.

944
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 9: Let's make it make sense, Like if you don't have

945
00:41:03,640 --> 00:41:05,440
Speaker 9: confidence in Dorsey, I mean, we went thirteen and three

946
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 9: in the regular season, and that's not.

947
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,319
Speaker 8: Easy to do for a first year.

948
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,080
Speaker 9: Oh see, he had a little bit of talent, a

949
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,279
Speaker 9: little bit of talent here at the quarterback position and

950
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:15,200
Speaker 9: some help and some help, but thirteen and three isn't hard,

951
00:41:15,280 --> 00:41:17,880
Speaker 9: especially coming from the offense that we had previously with

952
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 9: day ball and everything.

953
00:41:18,960 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 8: You know, he had a lot of success with us.

954
00:41:20,400 --> 00:41:23,400
Speaker 9: So, uh, my confidence, my confidence level is high. I

955
00:41:23,560 --> 00:41:26,239
Speaker 9: just feel like those couple of games that we did

956
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:29,000
Speaker 9: was we lost by like, you know, like one or

957
00:41:29,040 --> 00:41:29,719
Speaker 9: two miscues.

958
00:41:29,800 --> 00:41:30,160
Speaker 8: I'm saying.

959
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:31,600
Speaker 9: So for the first time, I'll see and I feel

960
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:33,560
Speaker 9: like he does everything that he can to put us

961
00:41:33,560 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 9: in a position to win.

962
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,920
Speaker 8: And I love him as far as like you seen him.

963
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:39,480
Speaker 9: You seen him a little bit last year, get it

964
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 9: get a little wild in the in the booth, and

965
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:44,000
Speaker 9: from that, from that standpoint, I feel like I love it.

966
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 8: I feel like going into the second year, I hope

967
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:46,839
Speaker 8: it happens again.

968
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:47,640
Speaker 5: All right.

969
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:50,320
Speaker 4: So that's Stefan Diggs. He spoke for about twenty minutes.

970
00:41:50,360 --> 00:41:52,759
Speaker 2: We gave you about fifteen minutes of that conversation, and

971
00:41:53,480 --> 00:41:55,520
Speaker 2: like I said, I thought he was very self effacing

972
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,320
Speaker 2: and laying everything out as to where he was coming

973
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:01,399
Speaker 2: from in some of the things where he felt they

974
00:42:01,480 --> 00:42:05,640
Speaker 2: as a team could be better. He mentioned red zone specifically.

975
00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:09,399
Speaker 2: Now it's not like the team struggled in the red zone.

976
00:42:09,440 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 2: We need to remember this team finished second in scoring.

977
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:14,959
Speaker 2: They were also ninth in the league in red zone,

978
00:42:14,960 --> 00:42:16,680
Speaker 2: so they were a top ten red zone unit. They

979
00:42:16,719 --> 00:42:19,800
Speaker 2: scored more than sixty percent of the time a touchdown

980
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 2: in the red zone. That was their touchdown efficiency inside

981
00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,839
Speaker 2: the twenty. But I think we can all agree there

982
00:42:25,920 --> 00:42:28,719
Speaker 2: were times, and we've used this term a lot in

983
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 2: reference to the last season, that it looked like a

984
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:35,439
Speaker 2: heavy lift. And he is determined to find ways, either

985
00:42:35,560 --> 00:42:39,080
Speaker 2: himself personally or as an entire offensive unit, to be

986
00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:43,960
Speaker 2: more consistent, to score more consistently more points week in

987
00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,160
Speaker 2: and week out. So it isn't such a struggle at time,

988
00:42:47,160 --> 00:42:49,000
Speaker 2: I think, which is crazy to say about a number

989
00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:50,440
Speaker 2: two offens in football.

990
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,080
Speaker 3: And it boils down to, you know, they turned it

991
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:54,120
Speaker 3: over too much down there, and Josh has said, you

992
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:56,840
Speaker 3: know himself, he's tried to do too much. But I

993
00:42:56,920 --> 00:42:59,080
Speaker 3: think you know, in regards to Steph Diggs and you

994
00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: know what we he's been through this offseason. I think

995
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,760
Speaker 3: you can tell by listening to him talk, the casual

996
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,320
Speaker 3: nature of his replies and the and the the open nature,

997
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:11,960
Speaker 3: genuine nature of the tone of his voice. He's like that,

998
00:43:12,200 --> 00:43:14,840
Speaker 3: you know, He's like, let's go, man, this is I've

999
00:43:14,880 --> 00:43:16,600
Speaker 3: had we did it. We're good weren't a good spot

1000
00:43:16,640 --> 00:43:19,120
Speaker 3: we took. We're taking care of business, and uh, it's

1001
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:19,919
Speaker 3: good to hear and see.

1002
00:43:19,960 --> 00:43:21,880
Speaker 2: But at the same time, when you hear a player

1003
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 2: who has Steph himself pointed out as a captain for

1004
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:28,440
Speaker 2: the last three years, right, he's he's taking on that

1005
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,120
Speaker 2: responsibility personally. Hey, let's be better as a unit. Let's

1006
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,680
Speaker 2: find ways to be better. But if you think I

1007
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:40,280
Speaker 2: want a bigger role in the in the offensive decision,

1008
00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:43,040
Speaker 2: you're out of your dang mind because I don't know

1009
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 2: how to call.

1010
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,719
Speaker 4: A play, let alone put together a game plan.

1011
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, players can get the players can be a guy

1012
00:43:49,520 --> 00:43:50,880
Speaker 3: who can go to the coach say hey, listen, we

1013
00:43:50,960 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 3: need to run this and this and this. If and

1014
00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:55,600
Speaker 3: it's a huge if. If they're willing to go in

1015
00:43:55,760 --> 00:43:58,160
Speaker 3: sit with the coaches during the week, help them game plan,

1016
00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:00,239
Speaker 3: go in there an extra five hours on on a

1017
00:44:00,280 --> 00:44:02,759
Speaker 3: Tuesday when they're game planning. None of the players are

1018
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:05,960
Speaker 3: going to do that. It takes time and effort and

1019
00:44:06,719 --> 00:44:10,120
Speaker 3: intelligence to put together those kind of plans. You don't

1020
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:12,479
Speaker 3: just pull a play out of the air and plug

1021
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 3: it in. It doesn't work that way. And he's smart

1022
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,040
Speaker 3: enough to know that Yeah, so.

1023
00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:19,279
Speaker 2: Great job I thought by Diggs in terms of getting

1024
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:21,960
Speaker 2: that message across in terms of what he was driving

1025
00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:27,360
Speaker 2: at with his means and hopefully coming up with solutions

1026
00:44:27,760 --> 00:44:30,120
Speaker 2: to making them a better team when they get to

1027
00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:34,040
Speaker 2: the postseason, where even he admitted they haven't had much

1028
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: luck in playing their best on that day. So there

1029
00:44:39,080 --> 00:44:42,080
Speaker 2: it is basically Stefan Diggs is agreeing with Steve Tasker

1030
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 2: kind of how I see it. We have to take

1031
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:46,640
Speaker 2: a break here, but when we come back we'll cover

1032
00:44:46,840 --> 00:44:50,359
Speaker 2: more of the happenings here on day one of training camp.

1033
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,799
Speaker 4: We'll bring that to you next year.

1034
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:53,560
Speaker 2: On One Bill's Live, presented by a Lot of Health,

1035
00:44:53,600 --> 00:44:54,680
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1036
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 4: All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

1037
00:45:07,040 --> 00:45:10,040
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you live at training camp

1038
00:45:10,080 --> 00:45:12,479
Speaker 2: at Saint John Fisher. It's so good to say first

1039
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 2: practice in the books today, Steve, did you have any

1040
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:20,280
Speaker 2: early takeaways from viewing the first training camp session?

1041
00:45:20,560 --> 00:45:21,520
Speaker 4: Not in pads yet.

1042
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,520
Speaker 2: We want to make that clear heavy red zone which

1043
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:26,719
Speaker 2: is usually the case early on in camp. With Sean

1044
00:45:26,800 --> 00:45:29,319
Speaker 2: McDermott run training camps, they jump right into the red

1045
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:30,040
Speaker 2: zone right away.

1046
00:45:30,400 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 3: Yeah, and I was looking around and they got a

1047
00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:38,400
Speaker 3: lot of defensive linemen, a lot of edge rushers. The

1048
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 3: offensive line. They are loaded at both sides of the

1049
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 3: line of scrimmage up front, both sides. Offensive line, defensive line. Yeah,

1050
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:49,480
Speaker 3: they got some dudes. I'm really excited about that part

1051
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:52,040
Speaker 3: of this team. And I was, you know, I we're

1052
00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:54,000
Speaker 3: talking to you know guys they came by. I think

1053
00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 3: that's one group I'm really excited to see play this

1054
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: year is the offensive line of the Bills. They got

1055
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:01,320
Speaker 3: a chance, and I know that it happens once in

1056
00:46:01,320 --> 00:46:03,400
Speaker 3: a while, but they got a chance to be dominant

1057
00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:06,279
Speaker 3: in more than just a handful of games this year.

1058
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:08,799
Speaker 3: They got a chance to be really really good yep.

1059
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:12,760
Speaker 3: And that means that means running the ball or passing

1060
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:14,759
Speaker 3: the ball. Certainly they've been okay in pass protection of

1061
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,080
Speaker 3: the years past, but I think they can really take

1062
00:46:17,080 --> 00:46:20,080
Speaker 3: a step forward and I'm excited to see that.

1063
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:23,080
Speaker 2: I think it was noteworthy that Dalton Kincaid right out

1064
00:46:23,120 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 2: of the shoot getting work with the first team offense.

1065
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:29,799
Speaker 2: I think that was important to note and I think,

1066
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 2: you know, he's a guy that we're going to see

1067
00:46:31,800 --> 00:46:34,520
Speaker 2: on the field early and often. I think it's very

1068
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 2: clear that they see him as a potent weapon for

1069
00:46:38,760 --> 00:46:44,759
Speaker 2: the passing game Number one, Number two. I think they

1070
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,800
Speaker 2: want to get him as many reps as possible to

1071
00:46:46,840 --> 00:46:50,320
Speaker 2: get him as ready as possible for regular season football,

1072
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 2: and so I expect he's going to get a lot

1073
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,400
Speaker 2: of miles on those cleats, you know, in the two

1074
00:46:55,440 --> 00:46:59,319
Speaker 2: plus weeks they're here at training camp and get him acclimated,

1075
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 2: and they're all seems to be an early rapport between

1076
00:47:03,360 --> 00:47:06,680
Speaker 2: him and Josh. I would also say and tell me

1077
00:47:06,719 --> 00:47:10,960
Speaker 2: if you feel differently, I think Trent Sherfield has established

1078
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 2: a rapport with Josh, and I think that happened back

1079
00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,520
Speaker 2: in the spring. There were a lot of people that

1080
00:47:15,640 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 2: were in the same company as us believing that he

1081
00:47:18,440 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 2: got off to a very strong start through the course

1082
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,760
Speaker 2: of the spring, and that rapport with Josh has carried

1083
00:47:24,840 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 2: into the first practice here today.

1084
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 4: Josh looks for Trent Sherfield.

1085
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's there's a lot of these guys getting reps,

1086
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 3: and certainly we've talked about that. Diggs, Davis and Khalil

1087
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:40,920
Speaker 3: Shakir are the only three guys left over from last

1088
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:42,960
Speaker 3: year's roster. Josh, you got to find some new faces

1089
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 3: to look through on the outside, even if it's just

1090
00:47:46,719 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 3: in training camp getting reps. On the outside, there's just

1091
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 3: you know, there's too many reps and not enough guys

1092
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 3: to take those. So he's going to be throwing the

1093
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 3: football to all these guys and Sherfield seems to be

1094
00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 3: a guy who I don't know what it is. You

1095
00:48:01,280 --> 00:48:07,799
Speaker 3: can just tell the guys that are experienced. Surefield's got

1096
00:48:07,960 --> 00:48:10,279
Speaker 3: you know, he spent some time in Miami's offense last year,

1097
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 3: carved out a niche for himself. Deontay Hardy, same thing.

1098
00:48:13,760 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 3: He's out there running around like he knows what he's doing.

1099
00:48:17,440 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 3: And then some of the younger guys, the younger wide

1100
00:48:19,600 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 3: receivers we saw as well. And you and I were

1101
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 3: noting again Terrell Shaver's, Jalen Wayne, Brian Thompson.

1102
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 8: Big dudes.

1103
00:48:30,120 --> 00:48:30,839
Speaker 3: They're big dudes.

1104
00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:33,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and squad.

1105
00:48:33,320 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 3: I just I just want to know, you know, what's

1106
00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,840
Speaker 3: the deal? I mean, why, you know, well, I get it.

1107
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 3: I mean, the big guys are always better than small

1108
00:48:41,760 --> 00:48:44,920
Speaker 3: ones if they're really good. So but there was no

1109
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 3: doubt that was a concerted point of emphasis in their

1110
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:48,719
Speaker 3: offseason and.

1111
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:50,920
Speaker 2: The last thing, and we didn't get a chance to

1112
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,839
Speaker 2: talk with Brandon Bean about these two acquisitions right before camp,

1113
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 2: but he did address it with the media and basically

1114
00:48:57,680 --> 00:49:01,759
Speaker 2: in explaining that Jay Sternberner's Sternberger signing a tight end

1115
00:49:02,400 --> 00:49:05,080
Speaker 2: and the Darrington Evans signing at the running back position.

1116
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,840
Speaker 2: Evans is obviously a replacement option for Naheim Hines. He

1117
00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:13,040
Speaker 2: does have return experience, does have good speed. I don't

1118
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:15,880
Speaker 2: being even said he doesn't know if he's got nahem

1119
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 2: hind speed, but he's got very good speed. Injuries have

1120
00:49:19,400 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 2: kind of compromised the early portion of his career when

1121
00:49:21,719 --> 00:49:24,160
Speaker 2: he was with Tennessee, but he will.

1122
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:25,000
Speaker 4: Be an option in camp.

1123
00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:29,279
Speaker 2: Sternberger is a guy they actually liked back in the

1124
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:32,120
Speaker 2: draft when they traded up to take Dawson Knox and

1125
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,880
Speaker 2: Sternberger was also a third round pick in that draft.

1126
00:49:35,640 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 2: And what he did in the AM I gonna get

1127
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:42,120
Speaker 2: this right XFL or USFL. I can't remember where he

1128
00:49:42,239 --> 00:49:46,200
Speaker 2: was USFL seven touchdowns in eight games, and that caught

1129
00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 2: their eye, and so they're going to bring him in

1130
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:50,759
Speaker 2: here where I think they are going to real They

1131
00:49:50,840 --> 00:49:55,680
Speaker 2: realize already that they need depth at the tight end position.

1132
00:49:55,920 --> 00:49:57,920
Speaker 2: I think based on the roles that the top two

1133
00:49:57,960 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 2: tight ends on this roster are going to play and

1134
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 2: knocks respectively. You have Quinton Morris in the fold. You

1135
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:06,200
Speaker 2: also have the undrafted rookie Joel Wilson. Now you add

1136
00:50:06,360 --> 00:50:09,280
Speaker 2: Sternberger to that mix. If he can kind of capture

1137
00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:11,520
Speaker 2: some of the playmaking ability that we saw and put

1138
00:50:11,560 --> 00:50:15,080
Speaker 2: on display at the USFL level here in camp, you

1139
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:17,880
Speaker 2: can find a role for himself as a reserve behind

1140
00:50:17,920 --> 00:50:19,320
Speaker 2: one of those top two guys.

1141
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 3: Right, and that's that's gonna shake itself out. And we've

1142
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 3: said last year the Bills ran like zero twelve person

1143
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 3: not zero, but almost zero. Most they were the thirty

1144
00:50:29,680 --> 00:50:32,000
Speaker 3: second in the league in twelve personnel. If that goes

1145
00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:36,320
Speaker 3: up significantly, and we don't know that it will, but

1146
00:50:36,440 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 3: if it does go up significantly, they got to have

1147
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,840
Speaker 3: the bodies to run it. And they got to have

1148
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,480
Speaker 3: the bodies to run it even if they lose guys

1149
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,760
Speaker 3: to injury, and that means more guys on the roster

1150
00:50:46,840 --> 00:50:48,920
Speaker 3: and a practice roster that are going to be available

1151
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:51,240
Speaker 3: on game day. If something happens to Dawson Knock, sometimes

1152
00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 3: to Kincaid, something happens to you know, Davidson or whoever,

1153
00:50:56,239 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 3: Quinton Morris, those guys got to be it. They gotta

1154
00:50:58,280 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 3: have guys out there, and that means these tight that

1155
00:51:02,400 --> 00:51:05,239
Speaker 3: the tight end room is going to become just a

1156
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,359
Speaker 3: little bit more important than it was a year ago.

1157
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:10,919
Speaker 2: Right, And they've got a task on their hands. Sternberger

1158
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:15,600
Speaker 2: and Evans are cramming with their position coaches like nobody's business,

1159
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:17,840
Speaker 2: because the faster they can get up to speed, the

1160
00:51:17,920 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 2: better chance they give themselves getting reps on the field

1161
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 2: to make the impression they want to hopefully carve out

1162
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:25,359
Speaker 2: a roster spot when they get down to fifty three.

1163
00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,279
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, our number two, come in

1164
00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 2: your way. Plenty more to discuss here on day one

1165
00:51:31,239 --> 00:51:34,120
Speaker 2: of training camp. A lot going down out on the field.

1166
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,239
Speaker 2: Will continue to break it down for you when we

1167
00:51:36,360 --> 00:51:38,560
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live presented by Cold of

1168
00:51:38,600 --> 00:51:39,959
Speaker 2: Health's Buffalo Bills Rader.

1169
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:19,200
Speaker 3: This one Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

1170
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 2: Our number two on day one at training camp Saint

1171
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,800
Speaker 2: John Fisher. The Bills out on the practice field this

1172
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: morning getting some early work in.

1173
00:52:29,239 --> 00:52:30,880
Speaker 4: They'll be doing the same tomorrow.

1174
00:52:31,600 --> 00:52:34,720
Speaker 2: And we did not mention the fact that a little

1175
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:37,719
Speaker 2: bit later on in this segment, we are going to

1176
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 2: bring you the comments of one Josh Allen, who also

1177
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 2: addressed the media today, covered a lot of ground, was

1178
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: asked about a lot of his new teammates, had some

1179
00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:48,400
Speaker 2: interesting things to say about Trent Sherfield, Deontay Hardy.

1180
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 4: James Cook.

1181
00:52:50,320 --> 00:52:52,880
Speaker 2: So we'll hear the comments from Josh in just a

1182
00:52:52,920 --> 00:52:57,520
Speaker 2: little bit here, but in Steve and I breaking down

1183
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,120
Speaker 2: some of the other takeaways from practice day one on

1184
00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:04,320
Speaker 2: here at camp. One guy that caught our e because

1185
00:53:04,640 --> 00:53:07,240
Speaker 2: Steve and I talked back and forth as we watch practice,

1186
00:53:07,800 --> 00:53:11,360
Speaker 2: Deontae Hardy. It is very evident to me in the

1187
00:53:11,520 --> 00:53:16,040
Speaker 2: very early going that this is a guy whose speed

1188
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,000
Speaker 2: is going to be used as an asset. We've heard

1189
00:53:20,040 --> 00:53:23,799
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean discuss Hardy's skill set. A lot of people

1190
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,640
Speaker 2: have compared him to Isaiah mackenzie because he is similar

1191
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:32,440
Speaker 2: in stature, but Bean has been adamant that Hardy's skill

1192
00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:36,600
Speaker 2: set is more wide ranging than that of Isaiah Mackenzie.

1193
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:38,400
Speaker 2: He just was on with us and talked about how

1194
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,360
Speaker 2: he would feel comfortable even lining him up outside the numbers,

1195
00:53:41,600 --> 00:53:42,800
Speaker 2: even though he's shorter than me.

1196
00:53:43,239 --> 00:53:44,319
Speaker 4: He's five for five.

1197
00:53:44,560 --> 00:53:47,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's been his problem. He is really talented and

1198
00:53:47,840 --> 00:53:50,520
Speaker 3: as a game breaker, kind of a game changer.

1199
00:53:50,400 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 4: The long speed too.

1200
00:53:52,200 --> 00:53:55,640
Speaker 3: Yes, he's really really good. His problem is and part

1201
00:53:55,680 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 3: of it is because of his size. He's more fragile.

1202
00:53:58,200 --> 00:54:00,280
Speaker 3: Because the weight and the velocity of the play players

1203
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 3: around him so big in comparison to him, he gets

1204
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:06,120
Speaker 3: broken and that's been his problem. Now.

1205
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,040
Speaker 4: He did go to the Pro Bowl as a return man,

1206
00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:10,200
Speaker 4: though let's not forget.

1207
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:13,160
Speaker 3: That the guy is a game wrecker at that size.

1208
00:54:13,480 --> 00:54:16,440
Speaker 3: If he can stay on the field, certainly on day

1209
00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,040
Speaker 3: one a camp you would expect to be nothing but

1210
00:54:18,080 --> 00:54:20,320
Speaker 3: one hundred percent. And we'll see if that continues. And

1211
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,239
Speaker 3: as long as it does, you can bet you're gonna

1212
00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:24,640
Speaker 3: see that guy with the ball in his hands.

1213
00:54:25,320 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 2: And you know, we're obviously not going to be divulging

1214
00:54:29,280 --> 00:54:31,839
Speaker 2: the strategy of the offense or defense here at training camp,

1215
00:54:31,920 --> 00:54:34,680
Speaker 2: but I think it's safe in telling you they're going

1216
00:54:34,760 --> 00:54:38,200
Speaker 2: to find ways to utilize Hardy's skill set to benefit

1217
00:54:38,320 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 2: this offense and out leverage defenses.

1218
00:54:42,160 --> 00:54:43,200
Speaker 4: And he is a problem.

1219
00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:46,360
Speaker 2: I mean, we saw the defenders grasping an air today

1220
00:54:46,640 --> 00:54:49,320
Speaker 2: on a couple of plays where they called his number.

1221
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,719
Speaker 2: So it's going to be very interesting to see how

1222
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:56,680
Speaker 2: extensive that role is. And I pose the question to

1223
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,840
Speaker 2: Brandon Bean last hour when he was here with us.

1224
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:02,800
Speaker 4: He's got Hardy as a slot option. Sherfield is a

1225
00:55:02,840 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 4: slot option.

1226
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,880
Speaker 2: Khalil Shakiir is a slot option who Brandon Bean, by

1227
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:08,040
Speaker 2: the way, said his role is going to increase this year.

1228
00:55:08,600 --> 00:55:10,720
Speaker 2: And you also have Kincaid as a part of that equation,

1229
00:55:10,960 --> 00:55:13,120
Speaker 2: knowing he's going to be detached a lot off of

1230
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 2: the formation. And I asked him, do you think the

1231
00:55:16,719 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 2: slot receiver role could be a committee position and he

1232
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 2: said yes, he could see that because I think that

1233
00:55:25,880 --> 00:55:29,080
Speaker 2: Ken Dorsey, learning at the elbow of Brian Dable for

1234
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:31,680
Speaker 2: the last three years before he became the coordinator himself

1235
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: last season, saw the advantages of game planning from a

1236
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:40,480
Speaker 2: primary perspective of finding the mismatches, and in a given week,

1237
00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:43,440
Speaker 2: Hardy might be a better answer in the slot than

1238
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:46,480
Speaker 2: Trent Sherfield, and then in another week, Khalil Shakir might

1239
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,840
Speaker 2: be the better answer. And Brandon Bean gave us indication

1240
00:55:50,560 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 2: that this is an offensive staff that is willing to

1241
00:55:54,760 --> 00:55:57,400
Speaker 2: morph and change what that role in the slot looks

1242
00:55:57,520 --> 00:56:00,400
Speaker 2: like week to week and may plug a different player

1243
00:56:00,480 --> 00:56:02,920
Speaker 2: in not only in a different game or a different

1244
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:05,479
Speaker 2: game plan, but maybe from one series to the next.

1245
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this is all that stuff that you're talking about.

1246
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,279
Speaker 3: There is why Steph Diggs has no business call and

1247
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 3: plays and he laughs, he says, yeah, I ain't doing it. Yeah,

1248
00:56:14,200 --> 00:56:15,640
Speaker 3: you got to have That's got to be your job.

1249
00:56:15,680 --> 00:56:17,400
Speaker 3: You got to have your your mind in on that.

1250
00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 3: And and certainly when you come to training camp, you

1251
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,560
Speaker 3: want to have multiple ways to win on offense and

1252
00:56:24,680 --> 00:56:26,480
Speaker 3: multiple ways to win on defense. You want to be

1253
00:56:26,520 --> 00:56:29,239
Speaker 3: able to run multiple ways with your running game offensively

1254
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:33,200
Speaker 3: and win multiple ways with your passing game offensively. And

1255
00:56:33,320 --> 00:56:34,719
Speaker 3: it takes a lot of guys and a lot of

1256
00:56:34,800 --> 00:56:38,919
Speaker 3: reps and a lot of experimentation to do that because

1257
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:40,680
Speaker 3: you're going to run into some teams to do some

1258
00:56:40,840 --> 00:56:43,839
Speaker 3: things so well. You don't want to test them. You'll

1259
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:47,400
Speaker 3: just do what they don't do well. And that's you know,

1260
00:56:47,480 --> 00:56:49,480
Speaker 3: that's that's the nature of the NFL. And in this

1261
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:52,840
Speaker 3: day and age, same thing. Defensively, you've got to have

1262
00:56:53,080 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 3: enough guys or good enough players and a sound enough scheme,

1263
00:56:56,920 --> 00:56:59,560
Speaker 3: which you know the Bills obviously do given the last

1264
00:56:59,680 --> 00:57:02,360
Speaker 3: three or four years of their existence of being a

1265
00:57:02,400 --> 00:57:09,360
Speaker 3: top five defense. They're strong even where their defense is vulnerable.

1266
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,759
Speaker 3: And you know, they understand so much about where an

1267
00:57:12,800 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: offense will attack a defense. They're ready for it, and

1268
00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:18,560
Speaker 3: they've seen it so much they're ready for it. It's

1269
00:57:18,560 --> 00:57:22,240
Speaker 3: a very veteran group and it's the same. It's kind

1270
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:25,360
Speaker 3: of the same, but different than the offensive side, where

1271
00:57:25,400 --> 00:57:28,120
Speaker 3: you attack and you try and find a mismatch that

1272
00:57:28,240 --> 00:57:31,920
Speaker 3: you can't get, and the defensively you are aware of

1273
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 3: where they're going to get their mismatch and you feel

1274
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:38,880
Speaker 3: it and you can cover for each other defensively. So

1275
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,200
Speaker 3: all that takes a lot of communication and a lot

1276
00:57:43,240 --> 00:57:45,080
Speaker 3: of thought and a lot of experience with the guys

1277
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 3: you're actually playing with. So if you're expecting help, it's there.

1278
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,080
Speaker 3: If you know your guy's going to be somewhere and

1279
00:57:50,120 --> 00:57:51,600
Speaker 3: you look at him, he's looking in the other direction

1280
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: and all of a sudden, the ball snap and he's

1281
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 3: right where he should be. That kind of thing happens

1282
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:00,120
Speaker 3: in defense, So that's where they're at. I mean, you

1283
00:58:00,200 --> 00:58:04,919
Speaker 3: get these guys in particularly that slot spot. Certain guys

1284
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:08,880
Speaker 3: do some stuff really really well, and you got to

1285
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,800
Speaker 3: use it and I've said it a million times. I

1286
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:13,520
Speaker 3: was talking with you and I were talking with Mike

1287
00:58:13,600 --> 00:58:17,120
Speaker 3: Shula here on the Bills staff, Don Shula's offensive assistant,

1288
00:58:17,160 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 3: Don Shula's son and his dad. Don, I mean, he

1289
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,200
Speaker 3: was not He was the guy who, you know, kind

1290
00:58:24,240 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 3: of took coaching to another level because he would only

1291
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,000
Speaker 3: ask his players to do what they did well. He

1292
00:58:30,080 --> 00:58:32,920
Speaker 3: put them in a position in a system that never

1293
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:34,919
Speaker 3: asked him to do something they didn't do really well.

1294
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:37,960
Speaker 3: Now because of that, they became predictable. You look at

1295
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 3: the Bills. They never changed personnel on the field last year,

1296
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:42,439
Speaker 3: you know what I mean. They were in that same

1297
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:46,600
Speaker 3: nickel package every snap last hear most snaps last year.

1298
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:49,560
Speaker 3: But they only they were doing it because they did

1299
00:58:49,640 --> 00:58:52,040
Speaker 3: it really well. And a team that's doing what it does,

1300
00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,160
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, doing what it does best

1301
00:58:54,280 --> 00:58:56,920
Speaker 3: all the time, it is hard to beat. And that's

1302
00:58:56,960 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 3: a Don Shula ism to me. Now every coaching staff

1303
00:59:01,680 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 3: feels like that, and they and they kind of put

1304
00:59:03,280 --> 00:59:07,080
Speaker 3: their players in that spot. So that's they're gonna find

1305
00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:13,000
Speaker 3: a slot receiver, whether it's Hardy, Kincaid, Surefield or Shakir

1306
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 3: Somebody's going to be playing there. And somebody's gonna emerge

1307
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:18,280
Speaker 3: as the guy you hope is in there, because we're

1308
00:59:18,280 --> 00:59:19,800
Speaker 3: all gonna go, wow, look at him, you know what

1309
00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:20,080
Speaker 3: I mean?

1310
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And I would say other players that flashed

1311
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 2: at times today. Shane Ray was active on the pass

1312
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,360
Speaker 2: rush today. This is a guy that's trying to resuscitate

1313
00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 2: his NFL career after being out of the league for.

1314
00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 4: The better part of four years.

1315
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 2: Uh spent some time up in the CFL and is

1316
00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:41,480
Speaker 2: trying to find it carve a way back into the

1317
00:59:41,680 --> 00:59:43,760
Speaker 2: NFL on a fifty three man roster. Had a nice

1318
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 2: day today getting some pass pressures, and we saw Tyrel

1319
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:51,360
Speaker 2: Dotson display the exact quality he is going to need

1320
00:59:51,440 --> 00:59:55,560
Speaker 2: to put on display here often if he is going

1321
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 2: to land the starting middle linebacker role. He's a guy

1322
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:03,800
Speaker 2: that had a nice pass breakup in coverage, like deep

1323
01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:07,240
Speaker 2: down the field, He's on a fifteen yard out all

1324
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 2: the way on the sideline, ripping a pass away from

1325
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:11,439
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox.

1326
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:14,240
Speaker 4: I want to say it was during the two minute drill.

1327
01:00:14,520 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 2: They're trying to get a first down, the offense is

1328
01:00:17,080 --> 01:00:19,320
Speaker 2: and Tyrrel Dotson stays with the play all the way

1329
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 2: through because Knox had it in his hands and Dodson

1330
01:00:22,160 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 2: raked it out as the two players tumbled over the

1331
01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:28,600
Speaker 2: sideline and forced the incompletion. We heard Bobby Babbage say

1332
01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 2: it back in the spring, Steve, this defense at the

1333
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:36,280
Speaker 2: linebacker position needs matchup linebackers translation, guys that can drop

1334
01:00:36,360 --> 01:00:40,240
Speaker 2: into coverage and make plays to defend the pass. Dotson

1335
01:00:40,360 --> 01:00:42,000
Speaker 2: is a guy that needs to do that. I think

1336
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:45,400
Speaker 2: his skill set in the run, front and stuff in

1337
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: the run is well documented and certified. He has to

1338
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,200
Speaker 2: prove he can cover, and he went a long way

1339
01:00:51,240 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 2: and doing that today here on day one. He's got

1340
01:00:52,920 --> 01:00:54,840
Speaker 2: to do a lot more of it going forward, but

1341
01:00:54,960 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 2: that was a good start for him.

1342
01:00:56,120 --> 01:00:59,800
Speaker 3: I thought, yeah, and I'm surprised we haven't said this yet,

1343
01:01:00,680 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 3: but I'll say it now. It's we say it every

1344
01:01:02,840 --> 01:01:04,520
Speaker 3: year and we talk about it like for a week

1345
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,680
Speaker 3: the first week of training camp. The defense is always

1346
01:01:06,720 --> 01:01:10,640
Speaker 3: going to look better early stages, and they did today.

1347
01:01:10,720 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 3: I thought, yep, the defense is always going to look

1348
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 3: better because offense, it's it's really exacting, it's choreographed. It's

1349
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 3: it's about communication and being really confident in what you're doing.

1350
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,560
Speaker 3: All that stuff is up for grabs. On the offensive

1351
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:27,280
Speaker 3: side of the ball and defense, it doesn't matter. Everybody

1352
01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:29,440
Speaker 3: the whole defense could fall down and if one guy

1353
01:01:29,480 --> 01:01:31,479
Speaker 3: makes a play, they win, you know what I'm saying.

1354
01:01:31,560 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 3: So defensively, all they do is read, react, and they

1355
01:01:34,680 --> 01:01:36,440
Speaker 3: can play a little bit higher level, a little bit

1356
01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:40,200
Speaker 3: higher intensity, and even if they're not as sure about

1357
01:01:40,200 --> 01:01:42,880
Speaker 3: their assignments, they can look better doing them because all

1358
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:44,640
Speaker 3: they do is read and react and work. And you know,

1359
01:01:44,680 --> 01:01:46,800
Speaker 3: if you work hard, it's a little you're you're better off.

1360
01:01:46,920 --> 01:01:49,440
Speaker 3: So at this point I think a little bit of

1361
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,400
Speaker 3: that showing the Bill's defense is a little bit ahead

1362
01:01:52,440 --> 01:01:54,360
Speaker 3: of the offense. We saw some guys and you know,

1363
01:01:55,440 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 3: there's no pads and they're you know, they're calling sacks

1364
01:01:57,600 --> 01:01:58,240
Speaker 3: and stuff like that.

1365
01:01:58,400 --> 01:01:59,440
Speaker 5: It's like, come on, bro.

1366
01:01:59,640 --> 01:02:03,400
Speaker 3: And that's which you get frustrated watching practice because you,

1367
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 3: even as a casual fan, you're going, well, that shouldn't

1368
01:02:06,920 --> 01:02:08,800
Speaker 3: you know, come on, let him play, you know that

1369
01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 3: kind of thing. It's like, you can't even it's hard

1370
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:12,680
Speaker 3: to get a good look about how good you can

1371
01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 3: be offensively when your offensive line is not allowed to block.

1372
01:02:16,320 --> 01:02:18,960
Speaker 4: So and they were throwing some blitzes at him too.

1373
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 3: That right, so it's you know, and I don't know

1374
01:02:21,840 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 3: if if Sean got asked this today or not, but

1375
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:25,800
Speaker 3: we'll ask him the next time a chance we get,

1376
01:02:26,080 --> 01:02:29,240
Speaker 3: you know, during that two minute drill for the first time,

1377
01:02:29,320 --> 01:02:31,680
Speaker 3: and you and I watching this thing for a couple

1378
01:02:31,680 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 3: of year, four or five years. Well since he got here,

1379
01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:37,440
Speaker 3: he was not working the clock and being the head official.

1380
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:39,080
Speaker 3: He was calling defensive plays.

1381
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 4: Coach Smiley was doing that.

1382
01:02:40,600 --> 01:02:43,360
Speaker 3: Matt Special teams coach was running the clock and doing

1383
01:02:43,400 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 3: the possession and whether there was right and deciding whether

1384
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 3: there was a sack and all that. So a little

1385
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,400
Speaker 3: bit different look on this two minute drill as Sean

1386
01:02:51,480 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 3: McDermott on the sidelines on the headphones calling the plays

1387
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:54,880
Speaker 3: rather than running the thing.

1388
01:02:55,480 --> 01:02:58,640
Speaker 2: We want to turn now to Josh Allen, who addressed

1389
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 2: the media after signing probably one hundred and fifty autographs

1390
01:03:01,720 --> 01:03:05,680
Speaker 2: following practice. Commented on a number of things, most notably

1391
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 2: some of the new weapons on the offensive side of

1392
01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,720
Speaker 2: the ball, including Deontay Hardy and Trent Sherfield, as well

1393
01:03:12,760 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 2: as a second year running back by the name of

1394
01:03:15,120 --> 01:03:15,840
Speaker 2: James Cook.

1395
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:17,760
Speaker 4: Here is Josh Allen.

1396
01:03:18,240 --> 01:03:20,720
Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean it feels like it's been a long

1397
01:03:20,800 --> 01:03:23,640
Speaker 13: time since we've been able to actually go against each

1398
01:03:23,680 --> 01:03:26,080
Speaker 13: other and throw the football around and go full speed.

1399
01:03:26,120 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 14: I know ots are kind of similar, but it's it's

1400
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 14: not quite this.

1401
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 13: And obviously having the fans back here being at Saint

1402
01:03:35,040 --> 01:03:36,280
Speaker 13: John Fish, I love camp.

1403
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 14: I love hanging with the guys.

1404
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 13: I love developing that camaraderie, in that team chemistry, and

1405
01:03:40,960 --> 01:03:44,000
Speaker 13: I think that's a huge crucial piece of developing a

1406
01:03:44,040 --> 01:03:46,120
Speaker 13: winning culture and in sustaining a winning culture here. And

1407
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 13: I think that the organization here does such a good

1408
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 13: job with that.

1409
01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 3: How does that happen here?

1410
01:03:52,120 --> 01:03:53,960
Speaker 8: I asked you if Sean referenced that.

1411
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:56,080
Speaker 7: Earlier about maybe take it some time to hang with

1412
01:03:56,160 --> 01:03:57,959
Speaker 7: some guys off the field or whatever.

1413
01:03:58,240 --> 01:03:59,320
Speaker 8: How does that really work?

1414
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,320
Speaker 14: Is it different here than than stay at a facility.

1415
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,200
Speaker 13: I mean you're you're breaking bread with different people, You're

1416
01:04:05,240 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 13: walking right across the cafeteria and go hanging out in

1417
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:12,120
Speaker 13: the halls and playing cards, you know, playing video games,

1418
01:04:12,160 --> 01:04:15,360
Speaker 13: getting stretched out, you know, getting getting therapy.

1419
01:04:15,200 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 14: And everything that we need is right here in this vicinity.

1420
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:21,720
Speaker 13: So it's just you're you're around everybody you know at

1421
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:25,560
Speaker 13: all times, every waking moment, You're around your teammates, which I.

1422
01:04:25,800 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 14: Freaking love.

1423
01:04:27,840 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 5: Said, you guys have stop, I keep it do?

1424
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:34,880
Speaker 14: I mean, we don't really pay attention about it, and

1425
01:04:34,920 --> 01:04:35,280
Speaker 14: we don't.

1426
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:38,200
Speaker 13: We've we've moved on, you know, and we're just out

1427
01:04:38,240 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 13: here trying to trying to be the best possible teammates

1428
01:04:40,480 --> 01:04:42,520
Speaker 13: that we can be for the Buffalo Bills and try

1429
01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:44,280
Speaker 13: to go out there and perform and continue to get

1430
01:04:44,320 --> 01:04:46,760
Speaker 13: better and and get on the same page. So uh,

1431
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,200
Speaker 13: you know, once games roll around that we can have

1432
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:51,840
Speaker 13: the continued success that we've had an.

1433
01:04:51,760 --> 01:04:52,880
Speaker 4: Effort to do that.

1434
01:04:53,080 --> 01:04:56,000
Speaker 14: Or is it is it happening organically naturally? No, it's

1435
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:59,600
Speaker 14: it's all organic. We're just out here playing football, but having.

1436
01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:01,720
Speaker 7: Change as a result of that whatever. You know, he

1437
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:05,200
Speaker 7: obviously expressed his views on something role in the offense

1438
01:05:05,240 --> 01:05:05,880
Speaker 7: or whatever it was.

1439
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 8: What came out of that, I guess that's measurable.

1440
01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:11,880
Speaker 14: Just again, communication piece of it.

1441
01:05:12,240 --> 01:05:14,120
Speaker 13: Make sure that we're on the same page and have

1442
01:05:14,200 --> 01:05:17,240
Speaker 13: a clear understanding of you know, what's being called when

1443
01:05:17,280 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 13: it's being called. When I'm looking his way, it's it's

1444
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 13: just a usual football talk, I guess, And just.

1445
01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:28,160
Speaker 14: Making sure that we're staying in a constant line of communications.

1446
01:05:28,200 --> 01:05:30,640
Speaker 4: Actually you magically Trent Sherfield. I think when we spoke

1447
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,120
Speaker 4: a many candidate, how pressment you were a thing that

1448
01:05:33,160 --> 01:05:33,560
Speaker 4: he was doing.

1449
01:05:33,760 --> 01:05:36,160
Speaker 3: How about now adding a deance, a couple of new guys,

1450
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 3: what traits do they bring to the offense.

1451
01:05:38,440 --> 01:05:38,880
Speaker 9: Can help you?

1452
01:05:39,200 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 13: Yeah, I think Trent again being the guy that can

1453
01:05:42,280 --> 01:05:46,000
Speaker 13: switch around from Z and X vice versa. Deonte being

1454
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 13: kind of a speed guy that you can throw him

1455
01:05:47,960 --> 01:05:49,280
Speaker 13: in a slot, you can throw him at an X

1456
01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:50,040
Speaker 13: for a big play.

1457
01:05:50,160 --> 01:05:51,480
Speaker 14: He can kind of be the gadget guy.

1458
01:05:51,560 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 13: Obviously with withoutn Heen now maybe potentially a bigger role

1459
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,320
Speaker 13: for him there. So I'm not sure how things are

1460
01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 13: gonna play out, and again it's it's yet to be seen.

1461
01:06:00,720 --> 01:06:04,919
Speaker 13: But using this time right now to find the best

1462
01:06:04,960 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 13: opportunities to get our best players on the football field

1463
01:06:07,600 --> 01:06:10,080
Speaker 13: and to see how dangerous guys can be with the.

1464
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:10,760
Speaker 14: Ball in their hands.

1465
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,640
Speaker 13: So that's that's up to Dorsey and the staff and

1466
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 13: and myself, you know, making sure that we're talking and

1467
01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 13: understanding and uh, you know we call it KYP. You know,

1468
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:22,360
Speaker 13: your personnel, So just understanding how well our personnel fits

1469
01:06:22,360 --> 01:06:25,600
Speaker 13: into our scheme and how to best utilize their talents

1470
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:27,480
Speaker 13: in terms of the communications that.

1471
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,200
Speaker 7: You're doing, like the stuff and the new wide receivers

1472
01:06:30,240 --> 01:06:31,840
Speaker 7: and that kind of thing, like is that on the

1473
01:06:31,880 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 7: field is in the building them, Like how do you.

1474
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:35,240
Speaker 14: Actually what does that communication look like?

1475
01:06:35,400 --> 01:06:37,439
Speaker 13: Yeah, it's a little bit of everything. On the field,

1476
01:06:37,480 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 13: obviously making sure that right after a route if there

1477
01:06:39,360 --> 01:06:41,720
Speaker 13: was something good, making sure that I'm reaffirming that there's

1478
01:06:41,760 --> 01:06:43,880
Speaker 13: something else that I'd like to see, or vice versa,

1479
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,720
Speaker 13: if you see something in me these receivers that they're

1480
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:49,080
Speaker 13: they're looking and expecting me to do something, making sure

1481
01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:52,160
Speaker 13: that they're being available to come up and talk to me.

1482
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:56,400
Speaker 13: And then obviously in the film room. You know, today

1483
01:06:56,480 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 13: wasn't perfect by any means. I thought it was a

1484
01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,840
Speaker 13: good start for for the offense. I missed I missed

1485
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 13: the row and that one of Dawson. That's when I

1486
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 13: went back. But again just getting into the film room

1487
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,760
Speaker 13: and talking about things and not everything's going to be great,

1488
01:07:06,840 --> 01:07:10,000
Speaker 13: especially on the first day, but again continuing to grow

1489
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,800
Speaker 13: and learn from what we're doing here. Uh, we had

1490
01:07:13,080 --> 01:07:15,360
Speaker 13: we got quite some time now before our first game

1491
01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,280
Speaker 13: and before preseason starts rolling around, but we're we're downloaded

1492
01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:19,640
Speaker 13: in right now.

1493
01:07:21,040 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 11: We were confident that w when we spoke about gigs

1494
01:07:24,720 --> 01:07:27,200
Speaker 11: and that whole thing being resolved.

1495
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:30,840
Speaker 3: And maybe even being the media making too much out

1496
01:07:30,880 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 3: of it.

1497
01:07:31,680 --> 01:07:35,400
Speaker 11: Have you in step since then talked things through or

1498
01:07:35,520 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 11: did you feel a need to talk things through since

1499
01:07:38,120 --> 01:07:38,480
Speaker 11: since that?

1500
01:07:38,640 --> 01:07:40,640
Speaker 13: I wouldn't say we've talked things through, but we've talked,

1501
01:07:40,760 --> 01:07:43,600
Speaker 13: you know. It's it's not about that anymore. It's about moving,

1502
01:07:44,320 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 13: you know, towards the season and setting our goals of

1503
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:47,720
Speaker 13: what we want to do. We want to bring a

1504
01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,760
Speaker 13: Lombardi Trophy here come February. So just making sure again

1505
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,640
Speaker 13: that everybody in the team is on the same page,

1506
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,360
Speaker 13: striving to have that that singular goal, and that's that's

1507
01:07:58,360 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 13: all it is.

1508
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:04,360
Speaker 2: Has how much progress from the spring to this first day,

1509
01:08:04,360 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 2: I know it's a short amount of time.

1510
01:08:05,680 --> 01:08:06,520
Speaker 8: Have you seen from.

1511
01:08:06,400 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 14: Dalton quite a bit?

1512
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 13: He's he's a guy that again, he's very smart, he's instinctive,

1513
01:08:13,480 --> 01:08:15,240
Speaker 13: he's got a good feel out there. So the the

1514
01:08:15,320 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 13: more that he gets comfortable and incorporated into our offense

1515
01:08:18,640 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 13: and into our scheme, you know, the more confident that

1516
01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 13: he's gonna.

1517
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 7: Have so.

1518
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 14: He's fun to throw to. I'll tell you that.

1519
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 13: He's got a good body language and he made some

1520
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:30,800
Speaker 13: plays out there today and we're going to continue to

1521
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 13: grow on that. And you know, it was just a

1522
01:08:33,240 --> 01:08:34,840
Speaker 13: it was just good to be back out there playing

1523
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:35,439
Speaker 13: football again.

1524
01:08:35,960 --> 01:08:36,840
Speaker 14: A new answer every year.

1525
01:08:36,880 --> 01:08:38,800
Speaker 13: But you have a singular not a singular focus, but

1526
01:08:38,920 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 13: something maybe specifically football related that you are focusing on

1527
01:08:41,760 --> 01:08:43,760
Speaker 13: kind of in training camp as we work towards the

1528
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:45,720
Speaker 13: regular season. Well, I mean, if it was if it's

1529
01:08:45,760 --> 01:08:47,479
Speaker 13: one thing, it's just making sure that we're holding another

1530
01:08:47,479 --> 01:08:50,600
Speaker 13: the football. You know, I forget the stat of what

1531
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:54,600
Speaker 13: we were first or second or whatever third drives it

1532
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,280
Speaker 13: ended in in points and when you calculate that and

1533
01:08:58,360 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 13: you can now limit some of those turnovers, what what

1534
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,000
Speaker 13: you can be after that? And again, nothing that we

1535
01:09:03,080 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 13: did last year carries over in this year. But making

1536
01:09:06,600 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 13: sure that I'm being smart with the football and not

1537
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:10,400
Speaker 13: trying to force things, and you especially down in the

1538
01:09:10,400 --> 01:09:12,080
Speaker 13: red zone. That's kind of why our first day was

1539
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:13,920
Speaker 13: down here and coach alluded to that to our team

1540
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 13: of making sure that we're finishing in the red zone.

1541
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:19,280
Speaker 13: So maybe those two key key areas and uh, just

1542
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:20,400
Speaker 13: again being smart with football.

1543
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 15: Gosh, see most people see you and seeing you with

1544
01:09:23,520 --> 01:09:26,600
Speaker 15: your teammates, and I would think that communication would not

1545
01:09:26,760 --> 01:09:30,559
Speaker 15: have been an issue for you during this whole process

1546
01:09:30,640 --> 01:09:35,439
Speaker 15: with Stephan whatever worked out, did you learn something from

1547
01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,240
Speaker 15: this about things that you would.

1548
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 13: Just getting better as a as a leader, you know

1549
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:43,160
Speaker 13: as a as a person too. So just again making

1550
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 13: sure that being the quarterback of an NFL team, obviously

1551
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 13: there's a lot of different roles and hats that you

1552
01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:52,880
Speaker 13: have to wear. But just making sure that I'm being

1553
01:09:52,920 --> 01:09:56,759
Speaker 13: authentic to myself and you know, trusting what I'm seeing,

1554
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 13: trusting what I'm what I'm saying, and understanding different guys

1555
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 13: and how to get on the same page with.

1556
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:06,400
Speaker 16: Everybody people around you on day one and new running backs,

1557
01:10:06,479 --> 01:10:09,360
Speaker 16: new receivers, new tlight ads. Just in general, how do

1558
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:12,400
Speaker 16: you feel that you've got answers whatever the defense wants

1559
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:13,080
Speaker 16: to throw at.

1560
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:15,920
Speaker 13: You, You've got you're gonna have you Yeah, we got

1561
01:10:15,960 --> 01:10:20,080
Speaker 13: it all figured out. No, it's a learning process. Every

1562
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:22,280
Speaker 13: day is gonna be a little bit different. And again,

1563
01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:25,000
Speaker 13: there was times where things looked really good today. There's

1564
01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:27,760
Speaker 13: times that things didn't look too good today. So making

1565
01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 13: sure that we're just learning and each day we're striving

1566
01:10:30,080 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 13: to get better. But the guys that we got, I'm

1567
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:36,120
Speaker 13: very happy with with the type of men that we

1568
01:10:36,200 --> 01:10:38,120
Speaker 13: have in this locker room. Guys that want to work hard,

1569
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 13: guys that want to win football games, and guys.

1570
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,599
Speaker 14: That are selfless, selfless players.

1571
01:10:42,640 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 13: So again it's it's a joy to coming into work,

1572
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,519
Speaker 13: you know, and and to be with my teammates. And

1573
01:10:49,920 --> 01:10:51,920
Speaker 13: everybody's got got one goal in their mind right.

1574
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,759
Speaker 12: Now, how would you critique yourself throwing it from last.

1575
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:56,360
Speaker 9: Year this season?

1576
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,640
Speaker 14: Again, just understanding what I what I did last year that.

1577
01:11:01,280 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 13: From the turnover aspect, making sure I'm limiting those and

1578
01:11:05,400 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 13: being smart.

1579
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 14: But but no conservative doors. He talks about that all

1580
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:08,439
Speaker 14: the time.

1581
01:11:08,479 --> 01:11:10,840
Speaker 13: If there's an opportunity, let's let's take that opportunity and

1582
01:11:10,920 --> 01:11:12,040
Speaker 13: let's let's try to hit it.

1583
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 14: You know there, we're not gonna play scared.

1584
01:11:14,400 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 13: But the same time, if there's I saw that, I

1585
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:24,559
Speaker 13: saw that he tried to put the USB into the phone. Sorry, yeah,

1586
01:11:24,680 --> 01:11:29,160
Speaker 13: just again, just trying to be the best teammate, best

1587
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:31,040
Speaker 13: quarterback that can be. And there was times when we

1588
01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:32,519
Speaker 13: last year, I was trying to force too many things

1589
01:11:32,560 --> 01:11:34,120
Speaker 13: to happen instead of letting the game come to me

1590
01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:38,680
Speaker 13: and that being said, you know, uh, still going out

1591
01:11:38,680 --> 01:11:39,240
Speaker 13: there and being.

1592
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,040
Speaker 12: Me, what about the chatter of this team not being

1593
01:11:42,080 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 12: the big guards in the AFC.

1594
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 14: We're we're we're just gonna keep working hard.

1595
01:11:49,840 --> 01:11:51,840
Speaker 4: Because what can you do for this?

1596
01:11:52,720 --> 01:11:55,760
Speaker 14: Yeah, Gabe, he he's a he's a very big piece

1597
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:56,599
Speaker 14: to what we got here.

1598
01:11:57,320 --> 01:11:59,519
Speaker 13: You know, he goes in there and he he runs

1599
01:11:59,560 --> 01:12:02,400
Speaker 13: the deeper and he obviously doesn't get a huge volume

1600
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 13: of targets the last couple of years, but he still

1601
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 13: produced some some really big numbers and again trying to

1602
01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:10,040
Speaker 13: maybe get some more easy ones for him and allow

1603
01:12:10,160 --> 01:12:10,400
Speaker 13: him to.

1604
01:12:10,439 --> 01:12:11,240
Speaker 14: Catch and run.

1605
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,519
Speaker 13: But again, he's not he's not afraid to go in

1606
01:12:14,560 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 13: there and take a safety on or take the edge,

1607
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 13: you know, for for the running game. And you know,

1608
01:12:20,760 --> 01:12:23,680
Speaker 13: he's a selfish player that guys look to and uh,

1609
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 13: you know, believe it or not, the way that he

1610
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:28,200
Speaker 13: works it's very inspiring and guys see that and it

1611
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 13: makes guys work harder more when this isn't.

1612
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 6: Offense stills around personnel without there's this season, How do

1613
01:12:35,080 --> 01:12:37,960
Speaker 6: you guys kind of you know, feel what you were

1614
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:38,720
Speaker 6: expecting and to.

1615
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:39,280
Speaker 12: Do this year?

1616
01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:42,280
Speaker 4: So how do you take come for that.

1617
01:12:42,640 --> 01:12:46,320
Speaker 13: Yeah, again, it's sad news about him. Obviously, we wish

1618
01:12:46,400 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 13: he was out there. Fortunate piece of it. We do

1619
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 13: have time, it's not it's not the day before a

1620
01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:54,679
Speaker 13: game or anything like that. So just again finding what's

1621
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,800
Speaker 13: right for our players and how to get them and

1622
01:12:56,880 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 13: the best opportunities to help this team win football games.

1623
01:13:00,120 --> 01:13:03,080
Speaker 14: Seen last Jorge Cook grow from his rookie year until

1624
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 14: until now. Yeah, he's been in his playbook.

1625
01:13:07,000 --> 01:13:10,839
Speaker 13: I've been really impressed with how hard he's worked, especially

1626
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,479
Speaker 13: given that piece and rookie year. It's always tough coming in.

1627
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 13: It's a it's a it's a new league, so different

1628
01:13:16,360 --> 01:13:19,040
Speaker 13: than college, and he's handled the right wing. I think

1629
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:22,639
Speaker 13: having you know, his brother who he is, being able

1630
01:13:22,680 --> 01:13:24,680
Speaker 13: to learn from him and talk through things with him.

1631
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,080
Speaker 13: But he's a he's a very focused individual right now

1632
01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:30,439
Speaker 13: and it's very fun to see and uh, you know,

1633
01:13:30,479 --> 01:13:32,880
Speaker 13: he's gonna have some some major opportunities for our offense

1634
01:13:32,920 --> 01:13:33,200
Speaker 13: this year.

1635
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:34,519
Speaker 14: I guess.

1636
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:38,840
Speaker 4: All right.

1637
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:43,280
Speaker 2: That was Josh Allen addressing the media today and excited

1638
01:13:43,320 --> 01:13:47,280
Speaker 2: about Deontay Hardy and his speed element that he brings

1639
01:13:47,360 --> 01:13:51,080
Speaker 2: to the offense. Also excited about the opportunities that James

1640
01:13:51,160 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 2: Cook is going to get and you know, this is

1641
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,679
Speaker 2: a guy that's got a chance to be I guess,

1642
01:13:56,720 --> 01:13:58,559
Speaker 2: for lack of a better term, because I think there

1643
01:13:58,600 --> 01:14:00,640
Speaker 2: are going to be multiple guys rotating through at the

1644
01:14:00,720 --> 01:14:04,680
Speaker 2: running back position as well on this roster, and I

1645
01:14:04,760 --> 01:14:06,760
Speaker 2: think he has the chance to be the closest thing

1646
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:11,400
Speaker 2: to the feature back in this offense, not only because

1647
01:14:12,160 --> 01:14:14,240
Speaker 2: of his speed that he offers out of the backfield,

1648
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 2: but because of what he offers as a receiver as well.

1649
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:19,360
Speaker 2: You can split him out wide, you can put him

1650
01:14:19,360 --> 01:14:21,400
Speaker 2: outside the numbers if you want. For goodness sakes, you

1651
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:23,719
Speaker 2: get him out in space and he can be very dangerous.

1652
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 2: I'm reminded of the play that he made against the

1653
01:14:28,360 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 2: Dolphins last year in Buffalo where he took the ball

1654
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:36,800
Speaker 2: on an outside run and basically just blew a land

1655
01:14:36,880 --> 01:14:39,880
Speaker 2: In Roberts doors off. He just couldn't get there, and

1656
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:41,600
Speaker 2: he just outran him to the end zone for a

1657
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 2: twelve yard touchdown run. That's just a small sample of

1658
01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:48,759
Speaker 2: what Cook I think can bring to the offense this season.

1659
01:14:48,960 --> 01:14:51,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, He's got the ability to catch the ball, get

1660
01:14:51,400 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 3: open on routes, get separation, and even when you see

1661
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:59,120
Speaker 3: him run routes in practice. He has the knack for

1662
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 3: getting open and making himself available. And if all this

1663
01:15:04,040 --> 01:15:06,080
Speaker 3: stuff that Josh has said about, you know, taking the

1664
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:07,880
Speaker 3: easy you know, and like you used to say, take

1665
01:15:07,920 --> 01:15:10,320
Speaker 3: that easy button throw, Josh did it a couple of

1666
01:15:10,400 --> 01:15:15,360
Speaker 3: times today, and you know, it's frustrating when you know

1667
01:15:15,439 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 3: the team is, you know, going through one of those

1668
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,160
Speaker 3: spots where it's a heavy lift offensively and you go

1669
01:15:20,240 --> 01:15:22,479
Speaker 3: back and watch and it's like, what, just hit this guy?

1670
01:15:22,840 --> 01:15:26,560
Speaker 3: You know, just hit the small open guy. Josh is

1671
01:15:26,640 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 3: so good and so gifted, and he's he's made those

1672
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:31,080
Speaker 3: plays so many times. He wants the bigger chunks of yardage,

1673
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,600
Speaker 3: and I think that's also one of the reasons this

1674
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 3: team has been poor in yards after catch. Josh fits

1675
01:15:39,040 --> 01:15:41,919
Speaker 3: it in, but there's always people there, ain't nobody running.

1676
01:15:41,720 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 5: Out of that crowd.

1677
01:15:43,439 --> 01:15:48,759
Speaker 3: If you take those the easy button throws, those little dinks,

1678
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,639
Speaker 3: the guy catches it and turns it up the field

1679
01:15:50,720 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: and turns a five yard catch into a fifteen yard game.

1680
01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:56,120
Speaker 3: And that's how you get, you know, yards after catch,

1681
01:15:56,200 --> 01:15:57,920
Speaker 3: and the Bills have been poor in that, and I

1682
01:15:57,960 --> 01:16:00,559
Speaker 3: think in large measure it's been Josh rather than the guys.

1683
01:16:01,320 --> 01:16:03,720
Speaker 3: And if he starts finding James Cook in those situations,

1684
01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:04,559
Speaker 3: that's going to change.

1685
01:16:05,479 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 2: And I think to Josh's credit, he admitted, yeah, last year,

1686
01:16:10,080 --> 01:16:13,479
Speaker 2: I tried to do too much at times and didn't

1687
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 2: let the game come to me. And it's going to

1688
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:20,839
Speaker 2: be very interesting to see the balance that he strikes

1689
01:16:21,360 --> 01:16:26,600
Speaker 2: between his own fierce competitive nature to make plays and

1690
01:16:26,840 --> 01:16:31,800
Speaker 2: lead this team by doing some extraordinary things, which is

1691
01:16:31,840 --> 01:16:34,400
Speaker 2: God given ability to give him the ability to do,

1692
01:16:35,400 --> 01:16:38,680
Speaker 2: while also being mindful of the risk that he is

1693
01:16:39,200 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 2: incorporating into some of those playmaking decisions and how much

1694
01:16:43,479 --> 01:16:46,960
Speaker 2: is too much risk, for example, And I think sometimes

1695
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:49,680
Speaker 2: he ran astray of that last year, which is one

1696
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,439
Speaker 2: of the reasons why this team was like top five

1697
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 2: in the league in red zone turnovers and yet there

1698
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:57,120
Speaker 2: were still a top ten red zone offense.

1699
01:16:57,280 --> 01:17:01,080
Speaker 4: Think about that for a second, Top five in red.

1700
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,000
Speaker 2: Zone turnovers last year and still top ten in red

1701
01:17:04,120 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: zone touchdown efficiency. Imagine if they just cut those turnovers

1702
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:08,920
Speaker 2: in half. I mean, we've talked about it a lot.

1703
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 2: Steve second in the league in total turnovers to only

1704
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:15,960
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans with twenty seven total in seventeen games.

1705
01:17:16,479 --> 01:17:18,479
Speaker 4: So you know, they want to cut.

1706
01:17:18,439 --> 01:17:21,760
Speaker 2: Back on that precipitously, and that's part that's going to

1707
01:17:21,800 --> 01:17:24,439
Speaker 2: be mostly on Josh's shoulders, knowing he's got the ball

1708
01:17:24,479 --> 01:17:27,639
Speaker 2: in his hand on just about every snap of the football.

1709
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,120
Speaker 2: We have to take a break here, but Steve and

1710
01:17:29,160 --> 01:17:32,240
Speaker 2: I will come back discuss more things that transpired here

1711
01:17:32,280 --> 01:17:35,360
Speaker 2: on day one of training camp. We'll also, if we

1712
01:17:35,439 --> 01:17:38,040
Speaker 2: have some time, take a look around the league. Some

1713
01:17:38,160 --> 01:17:41,400
Speaker 2: teams are throwing some silly money around and we'll tell

1714
01:17:41,439 --> 01:17:43,599
Speaker 2: you who when we come back here on One Bill's Live,

1715
01:17:43,680 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 2: presented by to a Lot of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1716
01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 2: All right, back here on One Bill's Live. Chris Brown,

1717
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:54,960
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker at training camp at Saint John Fisher Practice

1718
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,400
Speaker 2: one in the books. There'll be another one tomorrow, and

1719
01:17:58,360 --> 01:18:02,080
Speaker 2: we should also let you know that Josh Allen, who

1720
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,920
Speaker 2: you just heard from addressing the media, is going to

1721
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 2: be here on this very show tomorrow after practice.

1722
01:18:08,960 --> 01:18:11,000
Speaker 4: So we're looking forward to that conversation.

1723
01:18:11,640 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 3: We'll try not to act like the fans that we

1724
01:18:14,960 --> 01:18:17,320
Speaker 3: were sitting here. Josh was signing autograph right over here.

1725
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 3: He comes out of the tunnel and you.

1726
01:18:20,240 --> 01:18:21,840
Speaker 4: Can see this clip on social media.

1727
01:18:22,400 --> 01:18:24,760
Speaker 3: On social there's a little girl and it's like it's

1728
01:18:24,840 --> 01:18:28,080
Speaker 3: like like Eagles in nineteen sixty six. I mean that

1729
01:18:28,960 --> 01:18:31,640
Speaker 3: she is beside herself, that Josh Allen's tanding three. He

1730
01:18:31,680 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 3: gives her a hug too, and I thought her head

1731
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,280
Speaker 3: was gonna pop. Yeah, I mean it was just amazing.

1732
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:39,920
Speaker 3: So it it's all that's kind of part of the

1733
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: fun of training camp.

1734
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:41,080
Speaker 10: You know.

1735
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,280
Speaker 3: You see people who never thought or haven't thought about

1736
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:47,040
Speaker 3: what it's like to you know, stand next to great

1737
01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 3: you know, stand next to greatness, you know, and and

1738
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 3: they just they don't know how to act. Lose the kids.

1739
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 3: And she turns around, she's looking at her she's in tears.

1740
01:18:55,520 --> 01:18:57,679
Speaker 4: And well she's I think she's yelling at her mom.

1741
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 5: Take a picture.

1742
01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 3: I don't care if I look like do unbelievable. It's

1743
01:19:02,320 --> 01:19:06,400
Speaker 3: so funny, but it's great, you know. That's uh, it's

1744
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:09,280
Speaker 3: you know, they're signing aut all these guys are signing autographs.

1745
01:19:09,320 --> 01:19:10,640
Speaker 3: It's a great time to get him if you can

1746
01:19:10,680 --> 01:19:14,000
Speaker 3: get them. And uh, you know, it's part of the fund.

1747
01:19:14,040 --> 01:19:15,600
Speaker 3: So we'll have Josh han and we'll try not to

1748
01:19:15,640 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 3: act like that when he comes on.

1749
01:19:17,160 --> 01:19:18,960
Speaker 2: I thought we did okay when we had him on

1750
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,360
Speaker 2: last year of training camp. I don't think we embarrassed ourselves,

1751
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:22,519
Speaker 2: did we? I can't remember.

1752
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 3: No, I'm pretty sure we didn't.

1753
01:19:24,680 --> 01:19:25,000
Speaker 5: I don't know.

1754
01:19:25,080 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 3: You have to ask him. Let me just say this, I.

1755
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 4: Don't know if I want to put him. He put

1756
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 4: him up for a review of US.

1757
01:19:30,360 --> 01:19:33,400
Speaker 3: I think he'll barely remember being on one.

1758
01:19:33,439 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, because what has he done?

1759
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:38,040
Speaker 2: Seven thousand interviews since then, a full calendar year later.

1760
01:19:39,720 --> 01:19:41,880
Speaker 2: But yeah, we look forward to having him here on

1761
01:19:41,960 --> 01:19:43,519
Speaker 2: the show tomorrow, so be sure to tune in for

1762
01:19:43,640 --> 01:19:46,800
Speaker 2: that sometime between one and three when we are on

1763
01:19:46,960 --> 01:19:52,840
Speaker 2: the airwaves Eastern time. Uh. Couple of final loose ends

1764
01:19:53,479 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 2: to tie up on practice, Steve, was there anything else

1765
01:19:57,880 --> 01:19:58,519
Speaker 2: that struck you?

1766
01:19:58,880 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 5: I was.

1767
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:03,360
Speaker 2: I was real trying to pay attention to the linebackers

1768
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,880
Speaker 2: as they were lining up, especially in the two minute drill, because,

1769
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:10,960
Speaker 2: again going back to Bobby Babbage, Babbage's description the linebackers

1770
01:20:11,040 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 2: coach of what he needs there, he needs match up guys.

1771
01:20:14,439 --> 01:20:15,200
Speaker 4: Guys that can cover.

1772
01:20:15,320 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 2: And in the two minute drill, you know those guys

1773
01:20:16,920 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 2: are gonna be dropping and covering a lot. And as

1774
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 2: I mentioned earlier Tyrell Dotson made the one play on

1775
01:20:21,600 --> 01:20:24,280
Speaker 2: Dawson Knox, raking the ball out to force the incompletion.

1776
01:20:25,560 --> 01:20:28,479
Speaker 2: I'm Milano's Milano. He's just kind of a given. I

1777
01:20:28,479 --> 01:20:31,200
Speaker 2: don't even spend time watching him all that much. I'm

1778
01:20:31,200 --> 01:20:32,519
Speaker 2: trying to look at some of these other up and

1779
01:20:32,560 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 2: coming guys that.

1780
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:34,080
Speaker 4: Are fighting for a spot.

1781
01:20:34,439 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 3: I am convinced that the situation at middle linebacker it's

1782
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:42,559
Speaker 3: gonna be a little bit like we've been talking about

1783
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 3: this offseason with the running backs.

1784
01:20:44,479 --> 01:20:46,719
Speaker 5: I think having an elite guy like we had.

1785
01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 3: Last year with Tremaine Edmonds, I think if you get

1786
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,320
Speaker 3: a guy there that's really good, I don't think the

1787
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 3: drop off is gonna be that noticeable for fans watching

1788
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:56,799
Speaker 3: the game. Certainly the team and is gonna miss Tremaine,

1789
01:20:57,160 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 3: and there's gonna be some moments where they said, well

1790
01:20:58,920 --> 01:21:01,400
Speaker 3: if he, you know, maybe made. We'll never know those.

1791
01:21:01,880 --> 01:21:03,599
Speaker 3: But I think it's gonna be one of those spots

1792
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:06,200
Speaker 3: where fans are gonna say, Okay, our defense is still

1793
01:21:06,200 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 3: gonna be very good.

1794
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:08,120
Speaker 5: Uh.

1795
01:21:08,160 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot more pressure on Sean McDermott,

1796
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:13,720
Speaker 3: a lot more scrutiny on Sean McDermott more so than

1797
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:15,680
Speaker 3: whoever takes over at middle linebacker.

1798
01:21:16,760 --> 01:21:18,280
Speaker 5: So I think that is.

1799
01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: Gonna be a spot where people are gonna be as

1800
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:27,240
Speaker 3: a baseline. They're gonna be satisfied with whoever plays that

1801
01:21:27,320 --> 01:21:29,000
Speaker 3: because I think the guys they've got in here are

1802
01:21:29,040 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 3: gonna be able to get at least even the I

1803
01:21:31,880 --> 01:21:34,800
Speaker 3: think all those guys the base line is gonna be

1804
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:38,240
Speaker 3: satisfactory play for most Bills fans who watch it, and

1805
01:21:38,360 --> 01:21:40,840
Speaker 3: I think that the upper end is wherever you want

1806
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 3: to put it. I think those guys are gonna be

1807
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:43,759
Speaker 3: able to play well and they're gonna make some plays

1808
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:46,639
Speaker 3: for this team. So I don't think once the season

1809
01:21:46,760 --> 01:21:49,160
Speaker 3: kicks off, middle linebacker is gonna be on the on

1810
01:21:49,280 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 3: the you know we're gonna we're gonna be having conversations

1811
01:21:51,880 --> 01:21:54,599
Speaker 3: about the middle linebacker in training camp and then they'll

1812
01:21:54,680 --> 01:21:56,400
Speaker 3: cease for the remainder of the season. I don't think

1813
01:21:56,400 --> 01:21:57,719
Speaker 3: it's gonna be a topic of conversation.

1814
01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:01,880
Speaker 2: The other position that is going to be battled for

1815
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,439
Speaker 2: is the second corner roll opposite Trudevius White. Seaw McDermott

1816
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,439
Speaker 2: addressed it specifically this morning as one that he is

1817
01:22:08,560 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 2: keeping his eye on and as defensive coordinator, he's probably

1818
01:22:11,520 --> 01:22:15,360
Speaker 2: even casting a more discerning eye there. And we saw,

1819
01:22:15,600 --> 01:22:19,160
Speaker 2: as is typically the case, the most veteran player that's

1820
01:22:19,200 --> 01:22:21,439
Speaker 2: in the mix is usually the first man through. That

1821
01:22:21,600 --> 01:22:24,720
Speaker 2: was the case with Dane Jackson, and then he was

1822
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:31,760
Speaker 2: followed on that same side by Christian Benford. There were

1823
01:22:31,840 --> 01:22:36,960
Speaker 2: times where it was hold on, let me check my

1824
01:22:37,040 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 2: notes here. I just want to make sure I have

1825
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:44,360
Speaker 2: this right second defense, Yes, Christian Benford, while Kyeer came

1826
01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,559
Speaker 2: in to replace Trudevius on the other side.

1827
01:22:46,600 --> 01:22:49,360
Speaker 4: So those two guys are in the mix as well, with.

1828
01:22:49,479 --> 01:22:52,560
Speaker 2: Dane Jackson for the number two cornerback spot, and so

1829
01:22:52,720 --> 01:22:56,080
Speaker 2: we'll see how that shakes out as camp goes along. Obviously,

1830
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,879
Speaker 2: Christian Benford turned in the big play today an interception

1831
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,680
Speaker 2: at the goal line during red zone drills off of

1832
01:23:01,800 --> 01:23:04,280
Speaker 2: Josh Allen that he returned all the way the other

1833
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:09,840
Speaker 2: direction one hundred yards for a touchdown. Big play of

1834
01:23:09,880 --> 01:23:12,920
Speaker 2: the day really when you think about it, because there

1835
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 2: weren't a ton of highlights on the offensive side of

1836
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 2: the ball, though the tight ends were featured prominently in

1837
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 2: the red zone in the passing game.

1838
01:23:19,400 --> 01:23:21,599
Speaker 3: Now they got some red zone touchdowns and stuff down

1839
01:23:21,640 --> 01:23:23,519
Speaker 3: in those drills, as you might imagine, But the defense

1840
01:23:23,560 --> 01:23:25,639
Speaker 3: also made some plays like the one you just mentioned

1841
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 3: being the biggest of them all. But this cornerback two

1842
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:33,640
Speaker 3: spot is is gonna be interesting today. We got a

1843
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,840
Speaker 3: chance for the first time really kind of stand up

1844
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 3: close and personal with the whole group of corners. Don't

1845
01:23:38,760 --> 01:23:43,559
Speaker 3: forget they Well, they've got Tarren Johnson, kyer Elam Tredavious White,

1846
01:23:43,760 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 3: Dame Jackson, Christian Benford, and they also have a guy

1847
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,479
Speaker 3: named Cam Danceler. Cameron Danceler they just brought in, Yeah.

1848
01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:51,360
Speaker 4: Another June signing.

1849
01:23:51,600 --> 01:23:57,559
Speaker 3: Yes, and long, long, lean, long, lean, leverage guy. He's

1850
01:23:57,600 --> 01:24:00,120
Speaker 3: gonna he's got some length as a corner and we've

1851
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 3: seen it. We've talked about it before this. That's one

1852
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 3: of the traites the Bills kind of like in their corners.

1853
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,360
Speaker 2: His body type seems similar to that of Levi Wallace.

1854
01:24:07,600 --> 01:24:11,320
Speaker 3: Ryes like long in the lean, Yes, with with slight differences,

1855
01:24:11,400 --> 01:24:15,040
Speaker 3: but yes, exactly, that's that's the general. Yes, you would say,

1856
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:16,639
Speaker 3: both those guys you just grab in the same.

1857
01:24:16,560 --> 01:24:19,280
Speaker 4: Way, similar body type, I think, similar style of.

1858
01:24:19,320 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 5: Playing to it.

1859
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:25,120
Speaker 3: They're tall and narrow and yes, that's right, uh, exactly,

1860
01:24:25,320 --> 01:24:27,640
Speaker 3: And that's why I think it's exactly why Dansler was

1861
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,920
Speaker 3: brought in. A guy that is nothing's going to be

1862
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 3: too big form so we just put into a tough

1863
01:24:31,640 --> 01:24:34,680
Speaker 3: spot in camp or even in a game or how

1864
01:24:34,800 --> 01:24:37,680
Speaker 3: this shakes out. It's not going to be too big

1865
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:40,000
Speaker 3: for him. Nothing's gonna come out of him from left

1866
01:24:40,040 --> 01:24:42,960
Speaker 3: field and say, wow, I don't know he'll handle all that.

1867
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:46,280
Speaker 3: So it's just exactly the kind of guy you want

1868
01:24:46,439 --> 01:24:51,080
Speaker 3: hanging around. And because as a pro with that that

1869
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:55,640
Speaker 3: kind of experience, the one thing you do is consistency.

1870
01:24:55,880 --> 01:24:58,240
Speaker 3: You're always here. And you see these young players and

1871
01:24:58,560 --> 01:25:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm sure kyer Elam and benf we'll both do this

1872
01:25:00,720 --> 01:25:02,479
Speaker 3: at times. They'll start to ride that roller coast. The

1873
01:25:02,560 --> 01:25:04,760
Speaker 3: have a couple of bad days, good day, bad day,

1874
01:25:04,800 --> 01:25:07,160
Speaker 3: good day, good day, good day, bad day, but really

1875
01:25:07,240 --> 01:25:08,559
Speaker 3: bad day, great day, that.

1876
01:25:08,680 --> 01:25:09,120
Speaker 5: Kind of thing.

1877
01:25:09,720 --> 01:25:13,240
Speaker 3: Whereas a guy like Danceler, Taron Johnson and Tredavious they're

1878
01:25:13,280 --> 01:25:15,400
Speaker 3: always like right there and they're always you know, just

1879
01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,639
Speaker 3: at above average and then they spike in a couple.

1880
01:25:18,720 --> 01:25:21,200
Speaker 3: They never have those days where they're like, you know,

1881
01:25:21,479 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 3: off the rails.

1882
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,360
Speaker 2: To Davis White might be the most fundamentally sound corner

1883
01:25:24,360 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 2: I've ever seen. Yeah, that's what makes him great because

1884
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 2: he's not a burner. He's not running four to three.

1885
01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 3: Never did Steph Diggs cut a nice out route on

1886
01:25:32,960 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 3: him today for first down. The throw was.

1887
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 4: Perfect and the coverage was perfect.

1888
01:25:37,600 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 3: Diggs had a spirit with one hand and to Davis

1889
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 3: was in coverage and they completed on him. But man,

1890
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,640
Speaker 3: oh man, it took an absolutely perfect throw and an

1891
01:25:47,680 --> 01:25:52,280
Speaker 3: incredible catch just for a quick out execution.

1892
01:25:52,280 --> 01:25:53,320
Speaker 4: On both sides of the ball.

1893
01:25:53,400 --> 01:25:55,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you're right, that's probably the catch of the

1894
01:25:55,640 --> 01:25:59,000
Speaker 2: day too, Stefan Diggs just spearing that thing with one hand,

1895
01:25:59,360 --> 01:26:01,120
Speaker 2: so his hand was that of bounds when he caught it.

1896
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:03,439
Speaker 4: So that's probably the catch of the day. Got to

1897
01:26:03,479 --> 01:26:03,880
Speaker 4: break here.

1898
01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:06,599
Speaker 2: One final segment coming your way. We've got one other

1899
01:26:06,680 --> 01:26:10,160
Speaker 2: position competition to break down for you. What happened at

1900
01:26:10,200 --> 01:26:13,559
Speaker 2: the guard spot where Ryan Bates is trying to hold

1901
01:26:13,600 --> 01:26:15,600
Speaker 2: off competition. We'll spell that out for you when we

1902
01:26:15,720 --> 01:26:17,640
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live presented by to Lot

1903
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:17,880
Speaker 2: of Health.

1904
01:26:17,880 --> 01:26:18,960
Speaker 4: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1905
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:27,320
Speaker 8: You know.

1906
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:30,240
Speaker 16: Five.

1907
01:26:30,320 --> 01:26:33,040
Speaker 2: One final segment to go here and one final position

1908
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,479
Speaker 2: battle to outline for you at least how it appeared

1909
01:26:35,960 --> 01:26:39,799
Speaker 2: on day one and at the right guard spot, Steve.

1910
01:26:40,360 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 2: As we see we saw Dan Jackson, the veteran incumbent

1911
01:26:44,240 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 2: kind of line up with the ones today at the

1912
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,759
Speaker 2: right cornerback spot, and then today we saw the incumbent

1913
01:26:50,880 --> 01:26:53,200
Speaker 2: line up at the right guard spot in Ryan Bates.

1914
01:26:53,760 --> 01:26:57,599
Speaker 2: But he is going to get competition from Osiris Torrance

1915
01:26:58,280 --> 01:27:00,960
Speaker 2: and David Edwards, who was a player that Brandon Bean

1916
01:27:01,040 --> 01:27:04,400
Speaker 2: when he sat here with us last hour mentioned specifically

1917
01:27:04,880 --> 01:27:07,479
Speaker 2: a three year starter on a Super Bowl team with

1918
01:27:07,600 --> 01:27:08,120
Speaker 2: the Rams.

1919
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:14,400
Speaker 3: They got some guys, man, they got some guys Osiris Torrance,

1920
01:27:15,280 --> 01:27:21,400
Speaker 3: behind Bates, h David Edwards, Connor McGovern. They've got a

1921
01:27:21,479 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 3: bunch of guys that have some chops. You've got these

1922
01:27:26,800 --> 01:27:28,800
Speaker 3: other you know, the other guys that you can think of,

1923
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 3: like that we that you may not may have come

1924
01:27:33,160 --> 01:27:35,679
Speaker 3: straight to you, like Kevin Jarvis is here a young

1925
01:27:35,800 --> 01:27:38,479
Speaker 3: kid I like, Butker is the guy was thinking of.

1926
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,360
Speaker 3: Butcker's still hanging around as well, who's coming back from

1927
01:27:41,360 --> 01:27:43,680
Speaker 3: an injury. So they've got a lot of guys who

1928
01:27:43,760 --> 01:27:46,679
Speaker 3: have some experience playing for Cromer and in this offense,

1929
01:27:46,800 --> 01:27:49,439
Speaker 3: we'll see if if it carries him through. But man,

1930
01:27:49,520 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 3: oh man, did they bring in some depth and some

1931
01:27:51,320 --> 01:27:52,440
Speaker 3: guys to compete.

1932
01:27:53,240 --> 01:27:56,360
Speaker 2: And you know, we'll see where it goes. I think

1933
01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:59,720
Speaker 2: Steve and I have both been of the opinion that

1934
01:27:59,800 --> 01:28:03,280
Speaker 2: when you added Connor McGovern, you added David Edwards, and

1935
01:28:03,400 --> 01:28:07,400
Speaker 2: you add an Osiris Torrance, all of whom are over

1936
01:28:07,479 --> 01:28:10,080
Speaker 2: three hundred and fifteen pounds and over six foot four,

1937
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:13,840
Speaker 2: it is a clear indication that you are shifting your

1938
01:28:13,880 --> 01:28:17,479
Speaker 2: philosophical approach to what you're gonna look like from guards

1939
01:28:17,520 --> 01:28:21,479
Speaker 2: to guard, which is going to naturally impact how you

1940
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:24,519
Speaker 2: run the football between the tackles and if.

1941
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 3: You can get those guys down inside that are big

1942
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,559
Speaker 3: physical guys, because let's face it, on the other side

1943
01:28:28,560 --> 01:28:30,680
Speaker 3: of the ball, you've got the biggest human beings in

1944
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:34,479
Speaker 3: the league playing defensive tackle. You got to have bodies

1945
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 3: that can push and root those guys out of there.

1946
01:28:36,240 --> 01:28:38,040
Speaker 3: The Bills are going to be it seems to me

1947
01:28:38,760 --> 01:28:40,800
Speaker 3: on the surface, they're gonna be much more able to

1948
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:43,880
Speaker 3: do that this year with the young bodies they've got

1949
01:28:43,960 --> 01:28:47,760
Speaker 3: and the bigger bodies they've got inside. Mitch Morse is

1950
01:28:47,800 --> 01:28:49,960
Speaker 3: gonna feel it, I think on a Monday when he

1951
01:28:50,000 --> 01:28:52,160
Speaker 3: gets up and says, wow, that was pretty nice. Playing

1952
01:28:52,200 --> 01:28:53,479
Speaker 3: behind Building two three.

1953
01:28:53,720 --> 01:28:55,280
Speaker 4: Wasn't as bad as I remember last year.

1954
01:28:55,320 --> 01:28:57,519
Speaker 3: Yeah. Three hundred and thirty seven pound guys coming in

1955
01:28:57,680 --> 01:28:59,160
Speaker 3: with fresh legs. That's gonna be awesome.

1956
01:28:59,280 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 16: Yeah.

1957
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,519
Speaker 2: And incidentally, Morris coming off that elbow scope procedure last

1958
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,960
Speaker 2: year looked good today, so he's full go as well.

1959
01:29:05,320 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 4: That's day one of.

1960
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,080
Speaker 2: Training camp, Steve, and I'll come back and do day

1961
01:29:08,160 --> 01:29:10,200
Speaker 2: two with you tomorrow where we'll have Josh Allen on

1962
01:29:10,240 --> 01:29:10,519
Speaker 2: the show.

1963
01:29:10,560 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 4: We'll see it one
