00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by calllighta Health.

2
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,680
Speaker 2: How is everybody here on this Tuesday? Chris Brown Steve

3
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 2: Tasker with you. One Bill's Live. Is the show a

4
00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:46,080
Speaker 2: fall crispness to the air today Here at One Bill's Drive.

5
00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: Broke out the hoodie today. First time there was a

6
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: time in soft day June. I thought they were never

7
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,080
Speaker 1: going to get back to that quarter zip hoodie days. Man,

8
00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:56,480
Speaker 1: it was so hot here I am.

9
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,840
Speaker 2: We're closer to it than we are further away from

10
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 2: it now as a summer may have summarily ended in

11
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,120
Speaker 2: short order. I guess it's supposed to get warmer later

12
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,960
Speaker 2: in the week, but I'll believe it when I see it.

13
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,840
Speaker 1: But cool nights, warm days, Yeah, give it to me.

14
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 2: Players are out on the practice field as we speak.

15
00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: Josh Allen keon Coleman among the players set to address

16
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 2: the media after practice. We'll have those for you at

17
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: some point during the show, we hope, as long as

18
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:29,320
Speaker 2: the practice doesn't run long. And despite the fact that

19
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: there is a lot to report on the injury front

20
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: for this team, which unfortunately has been a running theme

21
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 2: for the better part of the last week or so,

22
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: there are some encouraging signs with some players who have

23
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: been on that injury list coming back from injury. And

24
00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: we'll get to that in just a second, but first

25
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:53,919
Speaker 2: the transaction news to talk about. After we learned yesterday

26
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 2: that Mitch Trubisky with his knee injury, is going to

27
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 2: miss several weeks, the team has responded and they added

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 2: Anthony Brown, free agent quarterback to the roster, worked out yesterday,

29
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,960
Speaker 2: signed this morning, and he is out on the practice

30
00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 2: field as we speak, wearing jersey number five. So I

31
00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: would anticipate he's gonna run through this week much the

32
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 2: way Ben Dnucrie ran through last week.

33
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, and here we are.

34
00:02:23,480 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 2: They'll probably do a lot of handing off on Saturday,

35
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: maybe a few pass plays in there.

36
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: We'll see dug him some stuff, but he did. But

37
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 1: they've got Danucci, they've got Brown, and they've got Josh.

38
00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:38,679
Speaker 2: Who's not gonna play on Saturday.

39
00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, Josh gonna be like I said in the broadcast

40
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: that he's gonna beat in Sunflower seeds on the sidelines.

41
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: But wearing a baseball hat.

42
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, And Deanucci and Brown are gonna have to get

43
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:49,920
Speaker 1: him through this. We've seen this before, although it was

44
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,239
Speaker 1: in the drought era.

45
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:59,240
Speaker 2: When Jordan Palmer did it, Matt Matt Smatter, Chris have.

46
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 1: Been Chris Matt Sims, Matt Simms. Yeah, we've seen it

47
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:09,040
Speaker 1: and another teams have too. Is not that unusual, but

48
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: it's not optimal, right, And no knock to Anthony Brown.

49
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 2: But you know, when this roster goes down to fifty

50
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: three in a week, I don't I don't know if

51
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,120
Speaker 2: he's around. I think it will largely be predicated obviously

52
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:30,800
Speaker 2: on Trubisky's health, but secondarily, I think it'll hinge on

53
00:03:31,480 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 2: what shakes loose on other rosters around the league. I mean,

54
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,200
Speaker 2: coach McDermott said it in no uncertain terms. Mitchell Trubisky

55
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 2: is gonna miss several weeks with a knee injury. That

56
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 2: that is strong indication he's not gonna be ready for

57
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 2: Week one. And even if he is, how much practice

58
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:49,880
Speaker 2: is he get in between now and then?

59
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: Right? The best case scenario for Brown is to be

60
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,520
Speaker 1: better than Danucci.

61
00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 2: Yes, I would agree with that in the short term,

62
00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,720
Speaker 2: and I don't know how you can show that you

63
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: like that. How's Nucci with backup guys you've never thrown to? Well,

64
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 2: that's a fair.

65
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 1: Pointci's turning and handed it off too.

66
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: That is right.

67
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:11,120
Speaker 1: So but one of those two guys got to hang

68
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 1: around for a minute.

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 2: And so for a minute perhaps yes, because they know

70
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,919
Speaker 2: the system. And let's just say some quarterback of better

71
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:25,080
Speaker 2: repute is cut from another roster, bigger can sign him.

72
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 2: He still has to get up to speed with the system.

73
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: So you know, you may carry three for a minute

74
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: at quarterback, and Danucci kind of is your transitional backup. Yeah,

75
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: the real the new addition.

76
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: The room is a mess. It's a mess, and it's

77
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:46,839
Speaker 1: not because anybody played bad or anything. It's just you know, injury.

78
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: It got injured and now here you sit. It's not

79
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 1: optimal forget about the backup spot. It's not optimal for

80
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I have two virtual strangers in there trying

81
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: to get ready or get him ready to play and

82
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 1: take reps and talk about it this Yeah, what's this

83
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: word mean?

84
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:06,479
Speaker 2: You know?

85
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: That's like you know that's he hasn't got time for that.

86
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,359
Speaker 1: You just don't have time for it, Josh. And so

87
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: Josh will spend a ton of time with Joe Brady

88
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: and the quarterback coach and all the rest of them.

89
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna spend more time with the coach than he

90
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 1: does in the players for this first couple of weeks.

91
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: For that reason, Drubisky may be in the building, he

92
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: may be coming around, yeah, you know and chiming in.

93
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,440
Speaker 1: But you know, it's a it's a little bit of

94
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: a mess because of the injuries, and it's not just

95
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: the qbs, but let's face that's where it starts.

96
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,560
Speaker 2: We do know that Kyle Allen, Bill's backup quarterback last year,

97
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 2: is in Pittsburgh and is the third quarterback. The general

98
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: assumption is Russell Wilson and Justin Fields are going to

99
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,039
Speaker 2: be the two quarterbacks on Pittsburgh's roster. Do they carry

100
00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:57,120
Speaker 2: a third if they don't. Kyle Allen's put pretty well

101
00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,040
Speaker 2: versed in this system. He could be an option if

102
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,920
Speaker 2: he's cut the Steelers, So that's something to contemplate.

103
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: The best guy out there would probably be the person

104
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:12,000
Speaker 1: that Bills fans clamored for last day, Ryan Tannehill. I

105
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: don't know if he can still throw, or whether he's

106
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: washed or not, but he doesn't have to be that good.

107
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: All he has to do is come in here and

108
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: get acclimated. And that's a guy with him with a

109
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,039
Speaker 1: lot of experience, that just may be one of the

110
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:24,280
Speaker 1: few guys out there that could chime in too, just

111
00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: say hey, hey, hey, think about on this play, think

112
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 1: about this instead of that and that. That kind of

113
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 1: thing is what changes the quarterback's mindset and helps him out.

114
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,919
Speaker 1: Tannehill's experience would be great, but that guy's not going

115
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 1: to sign for veteran minimum. He'd rather play golf. I

116
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 1: don't even know if he plays golf, but you know

117
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 1: what I mean, he'd rather stay at home with the

118
00:06:45,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: family than come out and grind it out.

119
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 2: It requires less effort.

120
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's veteran minimum. I mean for Ryan tanne

121
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 1: that's not even a long weekend in Vegas. For him,

122
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:03,640
Speaker 1: the entire season salary. You know, he'll he'll blow that

123
00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: on a on a on the you know, the presidential

124
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: suite at a Vegas casino. He could. So you gotta

125
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: and you got to incentivize it for one of the guys,

126
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: a guy like Tanny, he'll come in sign.

127
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:17,360
Speaker 4: It's got to be worth it for him.

128
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 2: Another quarterback who could get clipped is Taylor Heineke down

129
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:26,800
Speaker 2: in Atlanta. Knowing that Cousins and Michael Pennis are ahead

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: of him if they don't carry three. So I would

131
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 2: imagine that, you know, the Bills are looking at what

132
00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:41,360
Speaker 2: each team's depth chart looks like at the position, and

133
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 2: we'll try to gauge as best they can whether or

134
00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: not one of those quarterbacks is going to be clipped

135
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: and shake loose and be available for signing, and then

136
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: after that, what's their level of processing skills and that

137
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 2: kind of stuff.

138
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:00,320
Speaker 1: I'll say this, I haven't talked to Brandon Bean about

139
00:08:00,320 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 1: it or Sean McDermott, but I'll say this, Brandon Bean

140
00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,920
Speaker 1: has a short list of guys already that they wouldn't

141
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:11,160
Speaker 1: know something about that are out there and might be available.

142
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: And he's probably made a phone call to the gym

143
00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 1: of all those teams saying, hey, what about it? What

144
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:16,000
Speaker 1: are the chances?

145
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, you also have Case Keenan in Houston. He's a

146
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 2: former backup here with the Bills, and he's behind Davis

147
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:29,120
Speaker 2: Mills and c J. Stroud. Right, they also have Tim

148
00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: Boyle on that right, I mean they have four quarterbacks

149
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,959
Speaker 2: on the Houston roster. Do you bring Case Keenan back

150
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,800
Speaker 2: because of his familiarity with the system. Perhaps I don't

151
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: know that he's two years older now and he's no

152
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: spring chicken.

153
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,000
Speaker 1: He was no spring chicken here last time.

154
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:49,520
Speaker 2: No, so maybe that's a consideration people with some at

155
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 2: least base working knowledge of the offense.

156
00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's to me though, that's not as I'm talking

157
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: out of both sides of my mouth. The having to

158
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: being able to acclimate quickly is what these quarterbacks do,

159
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: particularly the ones we're talking about. They bounce around all

160
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:13,680
Speaker 1: the time, so they get used to concepts.

161
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,520
Speaker 2: And verbiage and picking it up fast and.

162
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 1: Picking it up fast and knowing what what do they

163
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:20,720
Speaker 1: really need to know first? And you know, first of all,

164
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 1: it's protections, that kind of thing. Uh, the concepts are

165
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: kind of football is football. So to me, you go

166
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,680
Speaker 1: out and you find the best player at this point

167
00:09:33,720 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: because of the circumstances. I know this is exactly It's

168
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,480
Speaker 1: not the opposite of what I've been saying, but it's

169
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 1: you get the guy who can play the best because

170
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: it's a crapshooes to whether Josh is gonna get along

171
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 1: with him or not where they're going to be able

172
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,760
Speaker 1: to have that mentor role and all that stuff. We

173
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: talk about getting Josh ready to play, He's got to

174
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: get a guy and he's got to have the best upside.

175
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 2: There are five quarterbacks in Washington, Jaden Daniels who was

176
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 2: just named the starter, Marcus Maray, Yoda, Jeff Driscoll, Sam

177
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:06,280
Speaker 2: Hartman the rookie, and they just signed last week Trace

178
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,680
Speaker 2: McSorley due to some injury concerns there in Washington. Trace

179
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,080
Speaker 2: McSorley was a player the Bills also worked out before

180
00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,160
Speaker 2: they signed Dedanucci, and then McSorley went and signed with Washington.

181
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 2: So there will be some players that are cut loose

182
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 2: next week. The question is do they deem it an

183
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 2: upgrade over what they have already. So, yeah, it'll be

184
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:31,719
Speaker 2: a long and ardent discussion on that because, as we know,

185
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:35,719
Speaker 2: it's an important position. Even though, as Steve maintains, if

186
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 2: you have to go to that person in the regular

187
00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:41,319
Speaker 2: season for any length of time, you're cooked anyway.

188
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, everybody says, well, well, you gotta goes

189
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 1: five hundred.

190
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, five hundred doesn't make the playoffs.

191
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: You're not doing that. You're not going five hundred. If

192
00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: a guy comes in starts four games, you got all

193
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:55,400
Speaker 1: you gotta do is go two and two. Well yeah, okay,

194
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 1: let's just go take a quick reminder trip as to

195
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 1: who the Bills have to play this year, and you

196
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:06,280
Speaker 1: tell me which of those four games you're gonna get

197
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: two and two out of right here at the beginning

198
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: of the season, it's Cardinals, Dolphins, Jaguars, and Ravens. Okay,

199
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:21,199
Speaker 1: if you think you can beat Arizona with Mitch Trubisky.

200
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 2: Oh are you asking me?

201
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,360
Speaker 1: It's a coin flip. Yeah, and that's that's it. The

202
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: rest of those teams are better.

203
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: Yeah.

204
00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: So I mean, you play the first play schedule with

205
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: two teams that have taken that, with one team in

206
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 1: particular of the Jets, that look to be markedly improved

207
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: because of their quarterback play, with one of the best

208
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:44,440
Speaker 1: rosters in the league that's in your division. There's just

209
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:48,040
Speaker 1: no there are no holes in the Bills schedule. You

210
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: got the Titans and Seahawks back to back, but they're

211
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: bookended by the Jets and Dolphins. There ain't no cakewalk

212
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: four games stretching there where you thinking at we can

213
00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:59,319
Speaker 1: go two and two with anybody at quarterback.

214
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 2: So I get what you're saying.

215
00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: So just you know, Josh got to stay out there.

216
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,719
Speaker 1: That's just all the ist to I don't want to.

217
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 1: I don't want it sounds precarious. I don't think listen

218
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: to the dude. Yeah he wears a cape for a reason.

219
00:12:14,280 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, just for the four to one one on Anthony Brown,

220
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,720
Speaker 2: the new quarterback spent all last season on Baltimore's practice squad,

221
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,440
Speaker 2: was with the Raiders earlier this offseason as a future

222
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:28,199
Speaker 2: free agent. He's appeared in two games in his career

223
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 2: after playing his final two years of college ball at Oregon.

224
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 2: He's a New Jersey native and a dual threat quarterback,

225
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: so that's kind of the info on him. The thumbnail

226
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 2: sketch the other players besides Traubisky who are going to

227
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 2: miss several weeks wide receiver Marquez Valdez Scantling and tight

228
00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:50,960
Speaker 2: end Quintin Morris, so you're gonna be a little short

229
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 2: handed at those positions over the next few weeks. There

230
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: are also three players who are weak to week with injuries.

231
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:02,400
Speaker 2: Safety Tomorrow Hamlin with a hamstring injury. He was on

232
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 2: the side at practice today, wide receiver Curtis Samuel with

233
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,719
Speaker 2: a toe injury, and linebacker Balen Specter remains out with

234
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:15,679
Speaker 2: a calf injury. Set to return soon hopefully, with the

235
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: words of coach McDermott. Casey two Hill, the defensive end,

236
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,559
Speaker 2: has been out for over a week now with a

237
00:13:20,600 --> 00:13:25,280
Speaker 2: groin injury and then set to be limited in practice today.

238
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 2: Defensive tackle Austin Johnson and defensive end Jevon Solomon both

239
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 2: dealing with calf injuries. So after all of that sobering news,

240
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:38,280
Speaker 2: here's the good news. Safety coal Bishop was back doing

241
00:13:38,360 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 2: some walkthrough and some individual position drills today. He was

242
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: wearing a red non contact jersey. Mike Edwards and Nicholas

243
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 2: Morrow also back to practice in a limited capacity. Edward's

244
00:13:52,200 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 2: trying to come back from a hamstring injury that has

245
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: kept him out for most of training camp. So that's

246
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 2: kind of where the roster sits right now. And it

247
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 2: got to the point where coach McDermott did say yesterday

248
00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,200
Speaker 2: he had no plan of playing Josh in this last game.

249
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,560
Speaker 2: He wanted to play him in the second preseason game,

250
00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: but then the wet conditions and the abbreviated warm up

251
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:21,640
Speaker 2: scrap that, and now because of this laundry list of injuries,

252
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 2: he's not playing any of his starters on Saturday against

253
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:29,520
Speaker 2: the Panthers. The Panthers Meanwhile, head coach Dave Canalis, in

254
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:33,560
Speaker 2: his first season, hasn't closed the book on a decision

255
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 2: for whether or not starters will play in the preseason

256
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,720
Speaker 2: finale as they come up here to Buffalo, But by

257
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 2: most reports down there, it sounds as if he's leaning

258
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 2: in that direction and will largely play backups as well.

259
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: I think if his starters play, they're gonna get a

260
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 2: series and then we go sit down and put a

261
00:14:50,440 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 2: hat on. So yeah, it looks like it's going to

262
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 2: be a backup bonanza on Saturday between the Bills and Panthers.

263
00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 2: Kid's Day though, Yes, yeah, so they'll they'll be fired

264
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,560
Speaker 2: up for that. That'll be good. Uh, we do have

265
00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 2: to go around the NFL. We're going to do a

266
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 2: brief spin around the NFL here, brought to you by

267
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 2: Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

268
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:22,080
Speaker 2: Interesting interview with Tua Tonguaaaaloa who called out Brian Flora's

269
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,400
Speaker 2: coaching style. Apparently there was a lot of negative reinforcement

270
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: and did not believe in Tua at all. I remember, Steve,

271
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 2: when Flores was the coach, You and I had surmised

272
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,240
Speaker 2: that Brian Flores didn't want the team to draft.

273
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: To a got overruled by the owner ownership and was.

274
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 2: Sour grapes the whole time he had to as his quarterback.

275
00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:48,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's when he you know, he had fits play

276
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: ahead of Tua in tuas rookie year. Then he also

277
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: made allegations about Stephen Ross about wanting him to tank,

278
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,400
Speaker 1: lose games deliberately so he'd get a higher draft pick,

279
00:16:03,480 --> 00:16:08,360
Speaker 1: also hiring practices. He's got a lawsuit. Now he's the

280
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator of the Minnesota Vikings. He's still in the league.

281
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,560
Speaker 1: But Tua, after two years, finally came out and they

282
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:17,000
Speaker 1: asked him about, you know, his relationship with Flores, and

283
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 1: it was not complimentary.

284
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 2: He said. Brian Flores basically told him he sucked and

285
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 2: that he didn't belong on the Dolphins.

286
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I don't know that he said those exact words,

287
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:30,040
Speaker 1: but Tua said that was his demeanor, that was his

288
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: message that he got from Flores. Flores was a a

289
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 1: head coacher liked who challenged his players by you know,

290
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 1: telling him they couldn't do stuff. I guess I suppose right.

291
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: So Tua really didn't thrive under that atmosphere as a

292
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:51,280
Speaker 1: lot of guys don't and and this, you know, he

293
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: waited two years before he got asked about it, or

294
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: at least came out and said stuff about it. And

295
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: probably feels good for him to get that off his chest,

296
00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:01,400
Speaker 1: because you know, that was a that was a rough

297
00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: time down there. Yeah, the Dolphins were struggling.

298
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: And and let me ask you this, when do you

299
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 2: think negative reinforcement and punitive coaching kind of went away?

300
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,920
Speaker 1: It was there was still some of it going around.

301
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: There was some some of it going on when I

302
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,639
Speaker 1: came in the league. There was still old school guys.

303
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 1: Hank Bulla was like that right before Marv got the job.

304
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: And Marv was the total other end of the spectrum.

305
00:17:34,359 --> 00:17:40,400
Speaker 1: He was an intelligent communicator who you know, communicated expectations

306
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: and was the kind of human being that guys wanted

307
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: to get behind and join, you know, step beside and

308
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:49,920
Speaker 1: let's go that and that. You know, Joe Gibbs was

309
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: that way, Bill Walsh was that way. You know. So

310
00:17:54,080 --> 00:17:56,879
Speaker 1: there were guys like that, and even Parcels to a

311
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 1: certain extent for his you know, his hard nose, you know,

312
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 1: for his hard nose, gruff, you know, sideline demeanor, he

313
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 1: was still a guy who was really smart, and he

314
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,359
Speaker 1: was absolutely no nonsense. And there's a difference between hard

315
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:22,439
Speaker 1: between negativity and brutal honesty. Players don't have a problem

316
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 1: with honesty, particularly even if it's brutally honest. They'd rather

317
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:32,919
Speaker 1: have that than have somebody rubbed their tongue and tell

318
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,199
Speaker 1: them it's all going to be all right and then

319
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: cut them, you know what I mean. So every every

320
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: coach has their own style. I think the real style

321
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 1: is you got to be yourself. Some of these guys

322
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:51,280
Speaker 1: aren't likable, you know. But as for your question, I

323
00:18:51,359 --> 00:18:54,439
Speaker 1: excuse me answer your question. I think it all has

324
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 1: gone away. I think it's completely I'm shocked that there's

325
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,280
Speaker 1: guys in league who do that now, and who yell

326
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: and scream at their players. And you know, that's that's

327
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:11,520
Speaker 1: that comes from a coach who's not secure their own yeah,

328
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,560
Speaker 1: secure enough, and plus not as not secure enough in

329
00:19:14,600 --> 00:19:17,320
Speaker 1: their own knowledge to help the guy to say, hey,

330
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 1: instead of doing that, let's do this. Instead, he just

331
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:22,080
Speaker 1: yells at him for making a mistake without ever correct

332
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: you know, just destructure. That's that's really hard to find.

333
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,200
Speaker 1: I think that's really hard to find in the league.

334
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:30,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, nowadays.

335
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:35,119
Speaker 1: Nowadays, I agree, it is a highly professional and you

336
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: have a lot more guys now who are professional coaches

337
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 1: and always have been, rather than guys who were always

338
00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: the former player who now became a coach. That used

339
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: to be the norm. You know, John Madden was a

340
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 1: former player. You know Tom Flores, you know a ton

341
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:52,240
Speaker 1: of you know Ron Rivera, you know, you can go

342
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: down the list. There's a ton of guys who are

343
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,800
Speaker 1: former players, but a lot of coaches are professional coaches

344
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: and that's as common as as anything now and I

345
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:03,639
Speaker 1: think a lot of ways a better place to be

346
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:04,720
Speaker 1: for some teams.

347
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:09,240
Speaker 2: The Dolphins also have an injury that they're dealing with.

348
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,200
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill spotted with a brace on his hand. He's

349
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:15,520
Speaker 2: not catching passes, so people are going to be asking

350
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: what that is about. Whether Mike McDaniel, head coach, provides

351
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: an answer remains to be seen, but that's something to

352
00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 2: keep an eye on. The Chargers got Justin Herbert back

353
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,120
Speaker 2: at practice. Apparently looked really good as he returns from

354
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 2: planter or fasciitis that he had in his foot, So

355
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,720
Speaker 2: he's probably back and ahead of schedule if anything, because

356
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:40,960
Speaker 2: just about a week or so ago, people out in

357
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:42,680
Speaker 2: LA were wondering if he was going to be ready

358
00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 2: for the season opener. But back on the field, I

359
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:48,120
Speaker 2: don't believe he was full of go. But he is participating,

360
00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 2: so that was certainly a step in the right direction

361
00:20:50,119 --> 00:20:54,200
Speaker 2: for them. And then there is going to be another

362
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 2: owners meeting next week. It's going to largely deal with

363
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 2: seating ownership percentage to equity companies, and where that goes

364
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: remains to be seen. But there was also some discussion

365
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:15,120
Speaker 2: that perhaps the dynamic kickoff would have one more amendment

366
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: made to it before the start of the regular season,

367
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 2: which would be to put the drive start after a

368
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:27,240
Speaker 2: ball lands in the landing zone and goes through the

369
00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 2: back of the end zone out to the thirty five

370
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 2: instead of the thirty which is how the rule was

371
00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:37,159
Speaker 2: originally originally drawn up back in March, and then it

372
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: was amended and it was moved back to the thirty

373
00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:43,800
Speaker 2: instead of the thirty five as a drive start. Now

374
00:21:43,880 --> 00:21:45,920
Speaker 2: there was talk that, well they may move it back

375
00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:48,680
Speaker 2: to the thirty five. They want to make it punitive

376
00:21:48,760 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 2: for not fielding the ball or for sending the ball

377
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 2: through the back of the end zone on the fly.

378
00:21:56,080 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 2: That's what it was not into the landing zone. Sorry

379
00:21:58,560 --> 00:21:59,159
Speaker 2: my mistake.

380
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,400
Speaker 1: If it goes into the end zone in the air

381
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 1: or bounces in the field to play and goes through

382
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 1: the end zone, that comes out to the thirty right now,

383
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: they want to make that the thirty five.

384
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, so, but to me, it is it's not gonna happen.

385
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:15,680
Speaker 2: They're gonna leave it at the thirty for now and

386
00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 2: leave it alone. That is not likely to get amended

387
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:19,320
Speaker 2: a third time.

388
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 1: So here's the thing. If here's the thing. If they're

389
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: making it, they're making it a tough decision for the returner.

390
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: If you're back there returning to kick and the ball lands,

391
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,880
Speaker 1: you want it. You want the thing. If they're gonna

392
00:22:32,880 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: put it at thirty five, you want that thing to

393
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,240
Speaker 1: bounce into the end zone, go through the end zone

394
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 1: because that's thirty five yard line. That's a big return.

395
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: That's a really big return.

396
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:43,919
Speaker 4: But if it.

397
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: Doesn't go out of the end zone, it goes in

398
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,760
Speaker 1: the end zone, stops in the end zone, you have

399
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,520
Speaker 1: to down it. You only get it at the twenty,

400
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:55,159
Speaker 1: which is worst case scenario. So it's a really it's

401
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:58,720
Speaker 1: a decision for the return team. So what they're doing

402
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 1: is instead of like saying, hey, we're gonna take a

403
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,160
Speaker 1: chance and let this thing bounce. We're gonna and if

404
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: it if it doesn't go out of the en zone,

405
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: I'll just down it. But we only get it at

406
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:11,960
Speaker 1: the twenty. It it incentivizes the return guy to catch

407
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: the thing and bring it out because you know you

408
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: or you feel like you can get out past the

409
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 1: twenty at least, so you'll get some you'll get positive

410
00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:22,040
Speaker 1: yards if you had taken the chance and it didn't

411
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: go out of the end zone. So it's really gonna

412
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: be tough for return guy back there. If that thing

413
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: comes into the landing area hot lands inside the ten

414
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,600
Speaker 1: yard line. I know it has to land past the twenty,

415
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 1: but if it gets close to the goal line is

416
00:23:36,320 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 1: land and it lands hot, you've and for me, I

417
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 1: gotta think that thing is getting out of the end zone.

418
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let it go and I'm gonna watch it

419
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna herd that thing and it's gonna go

420
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,399
Speaker 1: out of the end zone. We're gonna get it at

421
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: the thirty five. That's my plan. You're gonna have, guy,

422
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,880
Speaker 1: You're gonna have a lot of that. And I think

423
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: that in and of itself, is is it? It is

424
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: fertile ground for a huge mistake.

425
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:03,520
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.

426
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: You know what I mean.

427
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: I watched a preseason game last week. I want to

428
00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:11,440
Speaker 2: say it was Cincinnati and Chicago. That was the game

429
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,719
Speaker 2: Saturday in the afternoon before the Bills game that evening,

430
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 2: and the returner for the Bears the kick goes about

431
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 2: five yards deep in the end zone and he's running

432
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 2: past it like, oh, it's gonna bounce and go out

433
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: of the back of the end zone. So we get

434
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 2: it at the thirty and it bounced awkwardly and he

435
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 2: stopped because he's on He's two yards deep in the

436
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 2: end zone. The ball is six yards deep in the

437
00:24:38,320 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 2: end zone, and he's looking at it like, oh, do

438
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 2: I have to go back and get it? Like he

439
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 2: was hesitant, and then fortunately for him, it did skid

440
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 2: her out of the back of the end zone as

441
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,399
Speaker 2: he had hoped.

442
00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 1: But he was Here's the thing.

443
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,440
Speaker 2: He was a good ten yards away from that ball,

444
00:24:56,160 --> 00:24:58,680
Speaker 2: and if it dies there, he's got to go beat

445
00:24:58,720 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: everybody else to it and down it to get it,

446
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:02,240
Speaker 2: just to get it at the twenty.

447
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,320
Speaker 1: But here's the thing. It has a high trajectory and

448
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: it lands in the end zone. It doesn't matter if

449
00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: it lands in the end zone, it's at the he

450
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 1: you down it, it's at the thirty. You have to down.

451
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 1: You have to down. It's all you have to down.

452
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,119
Speaker 1: A kickoff, it's a live ball. Remember the Houston playoff

453
00:25:19,160 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 1: game when when we got stabbed in the back.

454
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:24,200
Speaker 2: That's right, thank you, Al River.

455
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:29,680
Speaker 1: Yes for nothing, Yes for being incompetent. The ball is

456
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,119
Speaker 1: live on a kickoff, just like it always has been.

457
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,639
Speaker 1: But it only becomes live when it lands on the

458
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: ground or if it's caught. Then it's live now if

459
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:42,359
Speaker 1: it goes into the end zone on the fly or

460
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: and or bounces out of the end zone. If it

461
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: you know, lands and bounces out of the en zone.

462
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: But if it goes in on the fly, that's like

463
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 1: you catch it, down it it's at the thirty yard line.

464
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,000
Speaker 1: That's a huge win for the kickoff return team. So

465
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:57,080
Speaker 1: you're never, not never. You're probably not gonna see teams

466
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: kick it into the end zone anymore.

467
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,159
Speaker 2: Unless they're up on the scoreboard and don't want to

468
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 2: run the risk of a return.

469
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 1: Right, there's extenuating circumstances, But on an opening kickoff. That

470
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,440
Speaker 1: ball is landing in the field of play period. And

471
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: that's and in fact, here's the thing. If you got it,

472
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 1: and here's there's a ton of it. There's the thing's

473
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: got so many layers. That's why nobody if the ball,

474
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: if he hit it hot like a low line drive

475
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 1: and it lands past the twenty. As soon as it lands,

476
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,399
Speaker 1: the coverage team can scoot. They can there. Everybody's released.

477
00:26:28,440 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 5: Here we go.

478
00:26:29,640 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 1: It's off to the races. But the guy doesn't have

479
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: the ball yet. It's bouncing around back there.

480
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:35,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it hit the ground, they can go.

481
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:38,679
Speaker 1: It changes the entire dynamics of the return.

482
00:26:38,960 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 2: I think we're going to see a lot of that

483
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 2: early in the season. I think that's been kept under wraps.

484
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:44,920
Speaker 2: But here's the fill out of kickers and the special team.

485
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:47,920
Speaker 1: It's a long kick from the thirty five down to

486
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: the twenty. It's a forty five yard kick.

487
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 2: Do the math fifteen plus twenty fifteen plus thirty forty

488
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:56,399
Speaker 2: five yard kick?

489
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: All right, so idea it was right, forty five yard kick,

490
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 1: public math forty five yard kick. It's a long kick.

491
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: That means you gotta put some velocity on it. That

492
00:27:06,359 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 1: means it's gonna bounce pretty hot when it lands, So

493
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: there's gonna be this huge gray area decision making thing

494
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: where do I let this thing skid her through the

495
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,159
Speaker 1: end zone or get to the end zone and then

496
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,520
Speaker 1: down it, you know, all the whole thing. So now

497
00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:21,919
Speaker 1: if you down it, if it gets to the end

498
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,480
Speaker 1: zone and you down it, that's only at the twenty

499
00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:27,520
Speaker 1: that that d incentivizes. It's a penalty for instance, on

500
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: the return team. If you let that thing bounce to

501
00:27:30,320 --> 00:27:34,080
Speaker 1: the end zone hoping it goes out, it's gonna get killing. Yeah,

502
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: if it's But if it's hot and it bounces inside

503
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,480
Speaker 1: the twenty, to come up and feel it like a shortstop,

504
00:27:40,520 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 1: you get it shorter. You can start the return at

505
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: the seventeen potentially potentially the fifteen or the ten anyway,

506
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: so it's a short kick, so you get a head

507
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,280
Speaker 1: start and here you go. But man, this thing is

508
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: we haven't seen anybody try anything yet.

509
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: It you.

510
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:02,479
Speaker 1: To me, I think you're gonna see some throwbacks. You're

511
00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: gonna see some misdirection. You're gonna see some some drops

512
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:10,000
Speaker 1: that are more exotic, some coverage lanes that are more exotic.

513
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:14,119
Speaker 1: I don't listen if I'm not a coach, and I

514
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,240
Speaker 1: never really wanted to be, but man, oh man, that's

515
00:28:16,240 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 1: what i'd be doing. There's a couple of things I

516
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: would I want to see. I want to see people

517
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:25,600
Speaker 1: try because I think that it might be the magic

518
00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 1: elixir for the return team. Magic elixir, but.

519
00:28:28,359 --> 00:28:31,359
Speaker 2: I don't know that is around the NFL. Brought to

523
00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,000

547
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 2: media earlier today.

548
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 6: How difficult is it going to be to play this

549
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,560
Speaker 6: game with two quarterbacks who have been here for a

550
00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 6: week or less?

551
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 7: Uh?

552
00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think any Uh.

553
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:25,080
Speaker 2: Looked like last week.

554
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,000
Speaker 6: Ben Denucci did an incredible job, you know, Kyle Shehrman,

555
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 6: A lot of all that was all hands on deck.

556
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,720
Speaker 6: Of just being able to go out there and operate

557
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 6: and and he you know, he felt confident going in there.

558
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:35,840
Speaker 6: If we had to throw the wall that he would

559
00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,880
Speaker 6: have been fine. And you know, uh, you know, Anthony

560
00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 6: obviously will do the same thing this week, Like we'll

561
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:43,120
Speaker 6: get our we'll have our guys ready to go, and

562
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 6: you know, I'll make sure what if if it's one

563
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,960
Speaker 6: play that they feel confident in, if it's ten, you know,

564
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 6: I'll make sure that I'm given putting their giving them

565
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:52,440
Speaker 6: the best opportunity to put their best football out there.

566
00:30:52,480 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 6: And so we got in a couple of days to

567
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 6: kind of figure that out.

568
00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:57,320
Speaker 8: What how do you like about the way Ray Davis

569
00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 8: playoffs are?

570
00:30:58,840 --> 00:31:01,760
Speaker 6: I thought, Uh, I thought you can see a little

571
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 6: different of a comfort level from week one to week two.

572
00:31:04,520 --> 00:31:04,680
Speaker 9: You know.

573
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 6: I liked how he you know, ran behind his pads,

574
00:31:08,520 --> 00:31:10,760
Speaker 6: you know, and uh it was just another guy, uh,

575
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 6: you know, he enjoyed being out there. I liked he

576
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:15,800
Speaker 6: wasn't running out of balance, he was trying to be

577
00:31:15,880 --> 00:31:19,120
Speaker 6: physical seeing the holes. I thought his patience was good.

578
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:23,400
Speaker 6: It was just you can see the you know again

579
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 6: a second game of preseason, but experience, just getting some

580
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 6: of that live reps, getting the feel of it.

581
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: It was really good for him.

582
00:31:28,520 --> 00:31:28,720
Speaker 7: I was.

583
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: I was happy with how he played.

584
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,400
Speaker 10: What was the biggest difference from week one week two

585
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:33,440
Speaker 10: in the running game overall?

586
00:31:33,520 --> 00:31:35,640
Speaker 1: Not just Ray, but from where you were against the Bears,

587
00:31:35,720 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: where you were against the Steelers got a yard?

588
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 6: I think, yeah, not really, No, I think it was

589
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:47,720
Speaker 6: again it's, uh, just a lot of a lot of

590
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,520
Speaker 6: the how that we stressed all last week, not necessarily

591
00:31:50,560 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 6: from a game plan standpoint, but just us just doing

592
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:55,479
Speaker 6: the simple things and just the communication, Uh, us all

593
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 6: being on the same page in terms of how we're

594
00:31:57,080 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 6: I ding it, you know, receivers in the run game.

595
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 6: I thought that was one of the best games I've

596
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:04,080
Speaker 6: ever been a part of seeing receivers block, you know,

597
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 6: and and so it allows you to continue to call that.

598
00:32:07,360 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 6: But it was just more of just the guy just

599
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 6: all being on the same page and uh, you know,

600
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 6: them asking for it and just keep giving it to him.

601
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:16,240
Speaker 6: So I was, I was just I was happy with

602
00:32:16,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Speaker 6: how they how they kind of handled it, and you know,

603
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:21,760
Speaker 6: they they took everything that we kind of talked about,

604
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,120
Speaker 6: even after the play on the sidelines, everything we talked

605
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,560
Speaker 6: about last week, they kind of took it to the

606
00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,600
Speaker 6: game and that was that was fun to watch.

607
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 11: Where do you think Zach Gavidson's grown in terms of

608
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:32,000
Speaker 11: an all around game?

609
00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 6: We obviously see what he can do as as a

610
00:32:33,600 --> 00:32:36,959
Speaker 6: pass catcher, but understanding the position asks for more than

611
00:32:37,080 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 6: just that. Yeah, I've seen I remember evaluating Zach coming out.

612
00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 6: You know, he was a small school guy that also

613
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 6: is a punter, and you know, and just to see

614
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 6: a guy that feels comfortable playing the tight end position

615
00:32:47,320 --> 00:32:50,760
Speaker 6: now understanding you know, his growth in the run game,

616
00:32:50,880 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 6: being able to understand angles and hand placement and we

617
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:55,720
Speaker 6: you know, you know what he can do in the

618
00:32:55,760 --> 00:32:57,920
Speaker 6: past game, but just seeing Look, I would have loved

619
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:59,480
Speaker 6: to have been in a lot more eleven personnel in

620
00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,239
Speaker 6: the second half, but they were in base defense all time.

621
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,640
Speaker 6: So we were like, hey, let's just we'll just go

622
00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,520
Speaker 6: twelve the whole time. And Zach and Trey McKitty didn't blink.

623
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,120
Speaker 6: And Zach able to just run duo after due after duo,

624
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:13,520
Speaker 6: and you know, you can see the growth in him,

625
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 6: his understanding of how to how to play the position

626
00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 6: and not just be just an athletic tight end. And

627
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,760
Speaker 6: so it's, uh, we know his personality, we know how

628
00:33:20,800 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 6: funny is to just watch him be around, but just

629
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,480
Speaker 6: to see the physicality element come out, it was fun

630
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 6: to watch.

631
00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 7: Spoke about receivers blocking with ke On being a rookie,

632
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 7: Where do you feel he's at right now?

633
00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,080
Speaker 2: I love?

634
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 6: I love where Keon's at as a football player right now.

635
00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 6: You know, it's it's obviously understanding where expectations are and everything.

636
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 6: I understand where he got drafted and whatnot. I'm not

637
00:33:41,560 --> 00:33:43,640
Speaker 6: always just focused on how the production is in a

638
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:45,920
Speaker 6: preseason game as opposed to seeing it on every day.

639
00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 6: You know, every day in practice. You know, there's certain

640
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 6: things that we've asked other receivers to do.

641
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:53,680
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's.

642
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 6: Everybody in a little different role in terms of the

643
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 6: run game. But uh, you know, if you guys remember

644
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 6: Kean coming out, he's one of the best blockers in

645
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,520
Speaker 6: the draft. Not saying you're drafting a guy to block

646
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 6: kind of, but giving having guys that can do a

647
00:34:06,480 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 6: little bit of everything. You know, where they can make

648
00:34:08,360 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 6: plays as a receiver, they can block, It makes a

649
00:34:10,480 --> 00:34:12,600
Speaker 6: little harder on defense. It's no way, hey, where guys

650
00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 6: are and what they're going to do when they're in

651
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 6: those positions, and uh so I'm pleased with where Keon's

652
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:18,319
Speaker 6: at right now.

653
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,759
Speaker 1: What's your biggest challenge for him right now? In your mind?

654
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: I think the biggest thing is just.

655
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,319
Speaker 6: When you know you're getting into game plans, you got

656
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:30,200
Speaker 6: to eventually learn how guys are playing you, right like

657
00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,840
Speaker 6: you know when you're not when you're not watching tape.

658
00:34:34,840 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 6: You know, like I thought, he did a good job

659
00:34:36,120 --> 00:34:38,440
Speaker 6: last week going into practice and you know you're doing

660
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 6: some one on ones, you're going against Joey Porter Junior

661
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 6: and your see and how he kind of plays it

662
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 6: and the next time being able to okay, this is

663
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:45,560
Speaker 6: how how I think guys are going to play a

664
00:34:45,600 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 6: guy like my size, and a lot of that sometimes

665
00:34:48,040 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 6: changes throughout games, but for especially for young guys, as

666
00:34:51,040 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 6: it is is getting a feel of, hey, who are

667
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:56,520
Speaker 6: you going against and then knowing you know what's in

668
00:34:56,600 --> 00:34:58,320
Speaker 6: your tools and how they're going to be playing it

669
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 6: against you because it might be a a corner on

670
00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,320
Speaker 6: a five to eight receiver, he's gonna play it differently

671
00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:06,520
Speaker 6: than they're playing Keon and him just learning the learning

672
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 6: the game from that standpoint, physically, he can do everything

673
00:35:09,719 --> 00:35:12,440
Speaker 6: that we ask him for have no issues with anything physically.

674
00:35:12,480 --> 00:35:14,279
Speaker 6: It's just a matter of them him just growing and

675
00:35:14,320 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 6: getting the experience of how the game's being played, how

676
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 6: guys are going to defend him, how they're going to

677
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 6: change things as the year goes. And that's just for

678
00:35:21,080 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 6: every rookie, but something that really just harpen on with him, Joe.

679
00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 7: One of the biggest questions Marcelo in the season, well

680
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:32,200
Speaker 7: back the spring was receivers with with all the changes

681
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,759
Speaker 7: that have taken place there, given the fact that you

682
00:35:34,840 --> 00:35:37,840
Speaker 7: know NBS is out for a week to week and

683
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:40,719
Speaker 7: you've got kind of Sanduel also over the turf out,

684
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 7: do you think.

685
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:46,920
Speaker 9: This group has had enough times Josh, even you know,

686
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,680
Speaker 9: whether it's on the field or just a limited limited

687
00:35:49,719 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 9: preseason time end to be ready for the start of

688
00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:56,279
Speaker 9: the season. And how much do you kind of do

689
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 9: you in any ways do you wish you had a

690
00:35:58,080 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 9: week or more time maybe world Bove.

691
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:04,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, if you can give me more years

692
00:36:04,800 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 6: and more weeks and more practices, more reps, I'll take

693
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 6: all of that. But I haven't had questions about the

694
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 6: receiver room since we've got them and put them together,

695
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,840
Speaker 6: and I love how they're working. How they're gelling, how

696
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 6: they're playing together, the communication they have with Josh, you know,

697
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 6: and obviously just trying to get some guys healthy and

698
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:25,520
Speaker 6: figure that stuff out as the season goes. But Josh

699
00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 6: has confidence in that room, and they're on the same

700
00:36:27,719 --> 00:36:29,880
Speaker 6: page with each other. And sometimes it might not be

701
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,080
Speaker 6: the physical element, it's more of the hey, this is

702
00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:33,759
Speaker 6: how I see how this guy's playing it. I need

703
00:36:33,800 --> 00:36:35,080
Speaker 6: you in this spot a lot of it. You know,

704
00:36:35,120 --> 00:36:36,800
Speaker 6: we can take advantage of the mental right now, and

705
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:39,279
Speaker 6: you know, and so in a couple of weeks that

706
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 6: they'll be ready to go, and I feel confident in

707
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 6: that team plays.

708
00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:44,760
Speaker 3: Trying to match performance. Obviously, now I'm dealing with the injury.

709
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:46,560
Speaker 11: But while he was in there during the game, what

710
00:36:46,719 --> 00:36:47,359
Speaker 11: the you two play?

711
00:36:47,800 --> 00:36:48,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was it was.

712
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 6: It was unfortunate obviously with the injury. I thought Mitch

713
00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 6: has had a really good camp, you know, and so, uh,

714
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,040
Speaker 6: there's a couple of throws that he obviously would.

715
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,440
Speaker 3: Like back, you know, you let him know.

716
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:00,160
Speaker 6: It was it was a you know, there's a lot

717
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:01,959
Speaker 6: of emotions that go on in it. Right You're getting

718
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 6: let know, hey, you're a starter, you know, right right

719
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:06,400
Speaker 6: before a game and some of that is intentional, right

720
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 6: where you know, when you're a backup quarterback, you got

721
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,759
Speaker 6: to be ready to go in, you know, at any

722
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 6: given moment. But I thought he handled that. He handled

723
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,520
Speaker 6: that well. The guys in the and the and the

724
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:17,320
Speaker 6: huddle were good with him. He would have loved for

725
00:37:17,360 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 6: us to be able to get in a rhythm, which

726
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 6: always helps a quarterback, you know, when you go three

727
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,840
Speaker 6: and now and it doesn't help, you know. So obviously

728
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 6: he was gonna want the interception back for sure, and

729
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 6: he knows that no quarterback wants wants to do that.

730
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,600
Speaker 6: But you know, I wish, I wish we would have

731
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,640
Speaker 6: been able to sustain some of those drives, which would

732
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 6: allow him to showcase a little more, you know, But

733
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 6: we got to be better. I got to be better

734
00:37:38,680 --> 00:37:40,880
Speaker 6: from that. And obviously unfortunately he got injured or else

735
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,279
Speaker 6: he would have been able to kind of play a

736
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 6: little bit longer.

737
00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:46,799
Speaker 2: All right. So that's Bill's offensive coordinator Joe Brady talking

738
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:50,520
Speaker 2: about his quarterback situation is wide receiver situation. What we're

739
00:37:50,600 --> 00:37:53,800
Speaker 2: talking to you about is what has you most encouraged

740
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: about this year's Bill's team. After two preseason games played,

741
00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:01,200
Speaker 2: eight oh three, five fifty one, eight fifty two, five

742
00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,680
Speaker 2: fifty that's the number to get on board. And we

743
00:38:03,840 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 2: lead off today with Doug in Lancaster. What do you

744
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 2: got for us?

745
00:38:07,200 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: Doug?

746
00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:08,319
Speaker 8: Hey?

747
00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:08,879
Speaker 3: Do hey?

748
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:09,839
Speaker 12: How are you doing? Guys?

749
00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 4: Good?

750
00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 12: Good good? Poison of bills?

751
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,319
Speaker 13: That's right, What do you got for us?

752
00:38:15,360 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: Doug?

753
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 12: I got a couple of questions. STI should be in

754
00:38:21,280 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 12: the Hall of Fame next one. That's not a question.

755
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 12: But when they kind of player and they signed them

756
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,879
Speaker 12: to year contract, do they set up to pay that money?

757
00:38:30,239 --> 00:38:37,080
Speaker 1: No, unless it's guaranteed. What's unless they unless there's something

758
00:38:37,160 --> 00:38:39,000
Speaker 1: the contract says they get this money no matter what.

759
00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 1: And you will know that that's the case because they'll say,

760
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,799
Speaker 1: for instance, he signed a one year deal with five

761
00:38:44,880 --> 00:38:47,800
Speaker 1: million dollars two point five million of it is guaranteed.

762
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,200
Speaker 1: Whenever they say that, that guaranteed word means that amount

763
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:53,560
Speaker 1: is going to get it. He's going to get it

764
00:38:53,640 --> 00:38:55,880
Speaker 1: no matter what. If that if that's not in the

765
00:38:56,360 --> 00:38:58,200
Speaker 1: when they tell you the contract, if that word's not

766
00:38:58,320 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 1: in it, none of it gets paid.

767
00:39:00,719 --> 00:39:04,800
Speaker 12: Okay, Okay, Now this filling person like you know, do

768
00:39:04,840 --> 00:39:06,840
Speaker 12: you know they're not going to make the team. Do

769
00:39:06,960 --> 00:39:08,719
Speaker 12: they get paid a lot of money just to come

770
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 12: into killing for a little.

771
00:39:10,520 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 1: Bit, well, a lot of money compared to who not

772
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:19,240
Speaker 1: Josh to you and me. Yeah, it's a lot of money, okay.

773
00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: And they got a chance to make a lot more

774
00:39:21,440 --> 00:39:22,760
Speaker 1: than that too, so yeah.

775
00:39:24,280 --> 00:39:27,480
Speaker 14: Yeah, okay, a.

776
00:39:30,640 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 12: Phone there. You know, when I was watching the game

777
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:38,439
Speaker 12: the other night, and just before they snap, the great

778
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:42,480
Speaker 12: guard is putting his arm up in the air, and

779
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,200
Speaker 12: I thought that might be like the legal procedure.

780
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:47,000
Speaker 4: No it's not.

781
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,560
Speaker 1: It should. It's a good question, but the league has

782
00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: made it clear that that's okay. And the reason that

783
00:39:53,320 --> 00:39:56,759
Speaker 1: the guard does that is to signal the center that

784
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:00,479
Speaker 1: they're ready to snap at the center. They they don't

785
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:04,400
Speaker 1: want the center to take his eyes off the defense

786
00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: because if he puts his head down between his legs

787
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: to look back at the feet of the quarterback, the

788
00:40:09,239 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: defense will shift and then when he brings his head

789
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 1: back up and snaps it, everything's messed up in.

790
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:17,960
Speaker 2: Terms of the line call, in terms of.

791
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:20,520
Speaker 1: The call, so that they can get an advantage if

792
00:40:20,560 --> 00:40:23,440
Speaker 1: the center takes his eyes off the defense. So what

793
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 1: to do is the guard is under no such constraints.

794
00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: He can turn around, he looks at the quarterback, and

795
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:30,759
Speaker 1: the quarterback kicks his leg or lifts his leg or

796
00:40:31,160 --> 00:40:33,880
Speaker 1: points at him or nods his head whatever the signal is,

797
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: says I'm ready for it whenever you are, and the

798
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,800
Speaker 1: guard turns back around and throws his hand out to

799
00:40:39,880 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 1: where the center can see it in his peripheral vision,

800
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:47,560
Speaker 1: and then whatever delay or rhythm they have, the center

801
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 1: will snap the ball.

802
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's the reason for that. Hope that answers

803
00:40:51,640 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 2: your questions. Jug thanks for the phone call. We go

804
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 2: to Keith and Williamsville next.

805
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 14: What's up Keith, Kevin Williamsville.

806
00:40:58,080 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: Oh, Kevin, sorry, problem listen.

807
00:41:01,160 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 14: I hate to keep on bound on pounding on the

808
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:09,439
Speaker 14: stupid kickoff rule. But watching scenario, Let's say it's the first,

809
00:41:09,520 --> 00:41:12,880
Speaker 14: second or third quarter. The ball gets hit into the

810
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:17,920
Speaker 14: landing zone the defensive the receiving team, does not touch it.

811
00:41:18,760 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 14: The offensive team, the kicking team, goes down and grabs

812
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,919
Speaker 14: the ball. Is that allowed? Now do they get the ball?

813
00:41:26,160 --> 00:41:26,359
Speaker 12: Yes?

814
00:41:26,600 --> 00:41:29,960
Speaker 14: I know there's okay because I know there's no on

815
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:33,840
Speaker 14: side kick, so would that count even though they haven't declared.

816
00:41:33,640 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 1: No, that's not an on side kick.

817
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,960
Speaker 2: So the only time you can do it on side kick.

818
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:41,600
Speaker 2: Now is when you're trailing in the fourth quarter and

819
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 2: you have to declare it to the officiating staff that

820
00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 2: you are going to run an on sidekick, thus enabling

821
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 2: you to line up your players with your kicker like

822
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:52,560
Speaker 2: the old school.

823
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,600
Speaker 14: What crazy happens? Like that, the offensive the kicking team

824
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 14: can still grit it and they'll get the ball there.

825
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:58,160
Speaker 1: It's a live ball.

826
00:41:58,239 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a live ball. So it incentivizes the return

827
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:04,840
Speaker 2: team to go get the dang ball and return it

828
00:42:05,160 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 2: to as best the yard line as they can. Even

829
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:10,520
Speaker 2: in the end zone. It's live unless you down it.

830
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,040
Speaker 2: You have to go get it and down it. You

831
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 2: can't just let it bounce in there and assume you're

832
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:16,280
Speaker 2: gonna get it, you know, out at the thirty.

833
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 14: Let me throw a little curve on this. What happens

834
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 14: If it hits before the landing.

835
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:22,399
Speaker 1: Zone, it is out of It's like out of bound

836
00:42:22,440 --> 00:42:24,160
Speaker 1: and out of bounds kick, and it'll the ball be

837
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:26,640
Speaker 1: spotted at the forty of the return team.

838
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,200
Speaker 2: Essentially, Kevin, you want to treat the twenty yard line

839
00:42:29,600 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 2: as an out of bounds line for the kicking team.

840
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 1: Wow?

841
00:42:34,800 --> 00:42:35,680
Speaker 14: Okay, thanks guys.

842
00:42:35,880 --> 00:42:37,920

Speaker 11: at the Pirates game, Steve, because I was having a

889
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:08,000
Speaker 11: ball and I'm over there doing the Bill shouts. If

00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,839
Speaker 2: And Kingsley Jonathan is a guy who's trained we've been

932
00:46:49,880 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 2: on for a little while and yeah, I thought last

933
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,240
Speaker 2: weekend was his best performance, not only as a pass rusher,

934
00:46:56,800 --> 00:46:59,279
Speaker 2: but also on special teams. He had that big shot

935
00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 2: on special team he nailed the dude knocked him over

936
00:47:02,880 --> 00:47:05,160
Speaker 2: the Bill's sideline. That was impressive. So yeah, I mean

937
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,400
Speaker 2: he he stood out on a night of standouts for

938
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 2: the past rush Greg Russeau with two and a half sacks.

939
00:47:11,640 --> 00:47:14,960
Speaker 2: Ravon Solomon had some nice rushes off the edge. So yeah,

940
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:15,480
Speaker 2: they did well.

941
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:21,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, Solomon and Jonathan were both very very noticeable on

942
00:47:21,719 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 1: special teams as well coverage teams. They were both out

943
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:26,320
Speaker 1: there and they both played well on both sides of

944
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 1: the return team and coverage team coverage hand return, So

945
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,680
Speaker 1: they were both out there and both showed up. And

946
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: let's face man, at this point, those guys got to

947
00:47:35,440 --> 00:47:38,120
Speaker 1: do that. If they do that and they're good at it, man,

948
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:41,280
Speaker 1: oh man, you can't not put them on the fifty

949
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: three because they've really played well on the down and

950
00:47:44,200 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 1: distance too.

951
00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:47,880
Speaker 2: Let's go to Harold in Rochester next. What's up Harold?

952
00:47:50,080 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 15: Hello? I, as far as what I'm most encouraged by

953
00:47:53,320 --> 00:47:56,680
Speaker 15: the defensive line, and I was able to go to

954
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 15: a couple of training camp practices and coach West really

955
00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:02,160
Speaker 15: has those guys right to go. My question for you

956
00:48:02,239 --> 00:48:05,160
Speaker 15: guys though, is I thought sar round Neil brought a

957
00:48:05,239 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 15: lot of extra abilities to the team by being able

958
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 15: to cover kicks on the punts as a gunner, and

959
00:48:14,080 --> 00:48:19,040
Speaker 15: JaMarcus Ingram or Daikwon Hardy or cam Lewis maybe be

960
00:48:19,120 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 15: able to do that. And one last question before you

961
00:48:21,800 --> 00:48:27,720
Speaker 15: is on the center position. If McGovern or Edwards happened

962
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:29,360
Speaker 15: to go down and McGovern would have to move to

963
00:48:29,440 --> 00:48:33,320
Speaker 15: right guard, who's gonna or who would have to go

964
00:48:33,360 --> 00:48:36,200
Speaker 15: into guard? Who would come in at center? Does it

965
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 15: look like Anderson or Cedjric Vampenn Granger might be able

966
00:48:39,400 --> 00:48:41,600
Speaker 15: to move in there to play center.

967
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 1: Well, at this point, I think my first guy in

968
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:50,720
Speaker 1: at center probably would be Will Clap.

969
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,600
Speaker 2: I'm not certain about that, or I mean, based on

970
00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:57,839
Speaker 2: how it's gone in the preseason, we have not seen

971
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: Clap there. It's been mainly Alec Anderson and Cedric van

972
00:49:01,600 --> 00:49:05,440
Speaker 2: Prayan Grainger after McGovern's done for the night. Now, that

973
00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,319
Speaker 2: might be a byproduct of there's enough tape out there

974
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: on Will Clap having been in the league that they

975
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,000
Speaker 2: know what he's capable of its center and it's more

976
00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:14,399
Speaker 2: valuable for them to give the reps to the younger

977
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 2: players and Anderson and Van Pray Granger. It's hard to

978
00:49:17,280 --> 00:49:21,040
Speaker 2: know what the exact mo is of the coaching staff,

979
00:49:22,840 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 2: but we saw that again on Saturday night, and I

980
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:30,200
Speaker 2: think it's not a put to bed competition just yet.

981
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,640
Speaker 2: I think a lot will come down to what happens

982
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 2: on Saturday when Anderson and Van Praan Granger get a

983
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:40,279
Speaker 2: ton of time and probably split the game at the

984
00:49:40,320 --> 00:49:44,759
Speaker 2: center position. So it's something that certainly bears watching, and

985
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,640
Speaker 2: I don't know that we have a definitive answer yet.

986
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,520
Speaker 2: And then with respect to the gunner position, JaMarcus Ingram

987
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,680
Speaker 2: has been out there, Cam Lewis has been out there

988
00:49:54,800 --> 00:50:00,320
Speaker 2: so too, as Kyrie Elam, So those are candidates. Another

989
00:50:00,360 --> 00:50:04,920
Speaker 2: guy that's been out there Tyrell Shavers, so I think

990
00:50:05,040 --> 00:50:07,759
Speaker 2: that too. I think cam Lewis is a lot to

991
00:50:07,800 --> 00:50:09,640
Speaker 2: be a gunner because he just does so many things

992
00:50:09,680 --> 00:50:11,759
Speaker 2: well and he was Saran Neil's running eight last year.

993
00:50:12,239 --> 00:50:14,759
Speaker 2: I expect him to be out there. It's who's going

994
00:50:14,840 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 2: to man the other gunner spot, and I think those

995
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 2: three guys are all candidates. I think this third preseason

996
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:23,880
Speaker 2: game will will tell us a lot about who wins

997
00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:25,719
Speaker 2: that other job. I don't think it's set in stone

998
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:26,120
Speaker 2: yet either.

999
00:50:26,280 --> 00:50:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you're right, Saran Neil was an elite athlete

1000
00:50:30,280 --> 00:50:31,759
Speaker 1: and that's why he was so good at it. And

1001
00:50:31,920 --> 00:50:35,600
Speaker 1: he's in Miami, but he yeah, he's he's someplace else.

1002
00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: So you got to find to fill that void. But

1003
00:50:37,600 --> 00:50:40,640
Speaker 1: that's and and that's a major special teams void. And

1004
00:50:40,880 --> 00:50:46,800
Speaker 1: you lost Medakevitch and Dodson. Yeah, so the special teams

1005
00:50:46,800 --> 00:50:49,840
Speaker 1: are really going to be revamped this year. And that

1006
00:50:50,239 --> 00:50:53,279
Speaker 1: is the real opportunity. And I don't even know that

1007
00:50:53,400 --> 00:50:56,480
Speaker 1: anybody's communicated that to these young guys. It seems like

1008
00:50:56,560 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 1: somebody has because they're all playing really well out there.

1009
00:50:59,200 --> 00:51:01,920
Speaker 1: But those are the roster spots that are really the

1010
00:51:01,960 --> 00:51:05,480
Speaker 1: ones up for grabs that nobody really talks about. Certainly,

1011
00:51:05,480 --> 00:51:07,799
Speaker 1: you got to play defensive end or linebacker or wide

1012
00:51:07,840 --> 00:51:11,560
Speaker 1: receiver and be good at it. But if you can

1013
00:51:11,640 --> 00:51:14,560
Speaker 1: play teams and play them well, they're willing to wait

1014
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:16,800
Speaker 1: on you to get better at the other position.

1015
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:20,120
Speaker 2: Break time for us here, But when we return, we're

1016
00:51:20,160 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: going to be joined by Fox Sports NFL and Cowboys

1017
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:27,360
Speaker 2: analyst David Helmett and join the show. He is bullish

1018
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: on Dalton Kincaid this year. We'll talk to him about that,

1019
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,400
Speaker 2: among other topics when we return here on One Bill's

1020
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 2: Live presented by Colt of Health.

1021
00:51:34,680 --> 00:52:20,040
Speaker 13: It's Buffalo Bills Radio, The One.

1022
00:52:20,040 --> 00:52:23,359
Speaker 4: Bills Live presented by Kalida Health.

1023
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:26,359
Speaker 2: All Right, our number two here on a Tuesday, Chris Brown,

1024
00:52:26,400 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you please to be joined now, Fox Sports,

1025
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:33,279
Speaker 2: NFL and Cowboys analyst, also host of the NFL on

1026
00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:36,279
Speaker 2: Fox Podcast. It's David Hellman joining us on the line here,

1027
00:52:36,360 --> 00:52:41,480
Speaker 2: and the primary reason is, uh, mister Hellman is bullish

1028
00:52:41,560 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: on one Dalton kincaide, which you know a lot of

1029
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,160
Speaker 2: people are hoping is the case. And we hear it

1030
00:52:47,200 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: all the time, David. People are asking us, well, who

1031
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 2: do you think is gonna be the number one receiver?

1032
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 2: Who do you think is gonna be the number one receiver?

1033
00:52:52,080 --> 00:52:54,200
Speaker 2: And we tell them you're looking at the wrong position.

1034
00:52:54,719 --> 00:52:57,160
Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tight end. It's gonna be Dalton Kincaid.

1035
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,520
Speaker 2: Who's your number one receiver in this offense going forward?

1036
00:52:59,520 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 2: You seem to share that line of logic.

1037
00:53:03,719 --> 00:53:03,880
Speaker 11: I do.

1038
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:04,319
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1039
00:53:04,400 --> 00:53:07,239
Speaker 4: It's good to be on with y'all. You know, it's funny.

1040
00:53:08,520 --> 00:53:10,560
Speaker 16: The off season in the NFL is so long, it

1041
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,960
Speaker 16: gives you time to sort of marinate with things, and

1042
00:53:13,480 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 16: I think from a national perspective, obviously, it's a huge

1043
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,160
Speaker 16: talking point when a team like the Bills trades away

1044
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:24,600
Speaker 16: Stefan Diggs, and the knee jerk reaction is, oh my god,

1045
00:53:24,719 --> 00:53:27,399
Speaker 16: Gave Davis has already gone. Now it's Stefan Diggs. Where

1046
00:53:27,400 --> 00:53:30,719
Speaker 16: are they replacing all this production? But here we are

1047
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 16: in the summer, and I just I have this. You

1048
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 16: can call it surprising, whatever, but I just have this

1049
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:41,560
Speaker 16: high degree of optimism in what the Bills have done here,

1050
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:46,080
Speaker 16: which is, yeah, there's clearly not one proven playmaker that's

1051
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 16: going to make up for those guys leaving. But on

1052
00:53:48,640 --> 00:53:52,360
Speaker 16: the aggregate, I feel so good about the options that

1053
00:53:52,440 --> 00:53:53,919
Speaker 16: they have. And yeah, you're right, I don't think people

1054
00:53:53,960 --> 00:53:56,440
Speaker 16: are talking about the right position. I think Dalton Kincaid

1055
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 16: makes it a hell of a lot of sense. A

1056
00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:02,760
Speaker 16: guy that already caught seventy passes as a rookie, obviously,

1057
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:05,080
Speaker 16: I think you're going to see his target share go up.

1058
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,640
Speaker 16: You've already seen that he has playmaking potential. He can

1059
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 16: be your volume guy. And he didn't make it into

1060
00:54:12,840 --> 00:54:14,720
Speaker 16: my story because I only had a couple of options.

1061
00:54:14,800 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 16: But I really think the league in general is very

1062
00:54:18,760 --> 00:54:23,200
Speaker 16: asleep on James Cook too, Like the quietest fifteen hundred

1063
00:54:23,280 --> 00:54:26,680
Speaker 16: yard all purpose season that you can remember, and that

1064
00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 16: was even with some growing pains, Like I don't think

1065
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 16: I need to remind Bills fans that James Cook had

1066
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,120
Speaker 16: some yucky drops and some plays that he'd probably like

1067
00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,680
Speaker 16: to have back, and still had a fifteen hundred yard

1068
00:54:39,719 --> 00:54:43,759
Speaker 16: Pro Bowl season. So with those two guys there, I

1069
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,000
Speaker 16: just feel really good that they can take up the

1070
00:54:46,080 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 16: bulk of your work. And if two of these two

1071
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 16: or three of these receivers can kind of fill in

1072
00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,959
Speaker 16: the gaps, I think the Bills will be just fine.

1073
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,200
Speaker 16: But yeah, I think Dalton Kincaid is the most obvious

1074
00:54:56,280 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 16: beneficiary because I think he was fourth and ti targets

1075
00:55:00,560 --> 00:55:03,320
Speaker 16: last year for the Bills. I'm just I'm so comfortable

1076
00:55:03,360 --> 00:55:05,560
Speaker 16: saying he's going to lead the team this year. I think,

1077
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 16: you know, I see this as if he's healthy, a

1078
00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,520
Speaker 16: one hundred plus catch type of year for Dalton Kincaid,

1079
00:55:11,600 --> 00:55:14,400
Speaker 16: as he sort of takes the lead with this with

1080
00:55:14,520 --> 00:55:16,600
Speaker 16: this skill group. But y'all, please please tell me if

1081
00:55:16,640 --> 00:55:18,600
Speaker 16: you think I'm off base. No, I think we're on

1082
00:55:18,680 --> 00:55:20,120
Speaker 16: board with you. We don't know what the rest of

1083
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 16: it's going to look like. Certainly, Khalil Shakir Keon Coleman,

1084
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,839
Speaker 16: Curtis Samuel. One of the things that we've noticed about

1085
00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:30,080
Speaker 16: the Bills front office is that they have brought people

1086
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 16: in with really high catch rate ratios. Gabe Davis is gone.

1087
00:55:36,680 --> 00:55:39,000
Speaker 16: He had like a it was a fifteen point, it

1088
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:41,160
Speaker 16: was fifty two percent whether Gabe Davis was going to

1089
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:43,640
Speaker 16: catch the ball you threw to him. All these other

1090
00:55:43,719 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 16: guys and Khalil Shakir, the slot receiver, had the highest

1091
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:50,200
Speaker 16: catch rate in the league last year at eighty eighty

1092
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 16: seven and eighty six eighty seven and a half percent.

1093
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,080
Speaker 16: So it seems to be one of those things where

1094
00:55:56,080 --> 00:55:57,959
Speaker 16: if you're if you're gonna have a quarterback like Josh

1095
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:01,719
Speaker 16: Allen and every so often he off script, you need

1096
00:56:01,840 --> 00:56:04,480
Speaker 16: guys that can think like him and get open. But

1097
00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 16: I think the question I'm getting at is when he

1098
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:11,279
Speaker 16: first started out long off season, how much did the

1099
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:16,719
Speaker 16: Bills really need to rinse through and change to take

1100
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:21,400
Speaker 16: another step. I think that's a great point, and I

1101
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 16: think the Bills are going through the growing pains that

1102
00:56:24,200 --> 00:56:27,160
Speaker 16: every team that pays a quarterback has to deal with.

1103
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:30,840
Speaker 16: And I kind of I guess I can't say I

1104
00:56:30,960 --> 00:56:32,920
Speaker 16: admire it yet because we have to see how well

1105
00:56:32,960 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 16: it works. But I think it's very forward thinking on

1106
00:56:36,480 --> 00:56:38,880
Speaker 16: Brandon Bean's part to kind of get ahead of it.

1107
00:56:39,160 --> 00:56:43,279
Speaker 4: Right when you pay. When you pay a quarterback, you're

1108
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:45,120
Speaker 4: gonna have to make these types of decisions.

1109
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:47,200
Speaker 16: I mean, as soon as Josh Allen got his contract,

1110
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:50,400
Speaker 16: you can kind of sit there and say, okay, like

1111
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,320
Speaker 16: some of these guys are going to start leaving, Like

1112
00:56:52,400 --> 00:56:54,440
Speaker 16: we're not gonna be able to pay everybody. We're going

1113
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:56,800
Speaker 16: to have to replace these guys with young draft picks,

1114
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 16: and you know, the bills. They could have restructured some

1115
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,839
Speaker 16: contracts and and clung desperately to the build that they

1116
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,000
Speaker 16: had I e. Josh and Diggs and everything else kind

1117
00:57:08,040 --> 00:57:10,959
Speaker 16: of working around it. But we've seen the last couple

1118
00:57:10,960 --> 00:57:14,799
Speaker 16: of years that hasn't gotten them nearly as close as

1119
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,480
Speaker 16: as you would expect. So, like I said, I think,

1120
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,440
Speaker 16: knowing that the tough decisions were coming anyway, I admire

1121
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:24,080
Speaker 16: them for kind of getting out in front of it

1122
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,120
Speaker 16: and and you know, maybe we'll have to see maybe

1123
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:31,160
Speaker 16: they take a quote unquote step back this year, But man,

1124
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:35,320
Speaker 16: you got an MVP caliber quarterback. I know he hasn't

1125
00:57:35,360 --> 00:57:38,280
Speaker 16: won one yet, but but Josh should be on anybody's

1126
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,280
Speaker 16: short list. So I mean, if there's if there's anybody

1127
00:57:41,400 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 16: in football who can make it work with a supposedly

1128
00:57:45,840 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 16: lesser cast, I trust Josh to do it. And like

1129
00:57:48,280 --> 00:57:50,480
Speaker 16: I said, I think if you've got two guys you

1130
00:57:50,560 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 16: can count on, and I think Kinkaid and Cook fit

1131
00:57:53,240 --> 00:57:55,920
Speaker 16: the bill. Then, like we were just talking about, you

1132
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,880
Speaker 16: kind of fill in around them, Like is Khalil Shakir

1133
00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 16: or Curtis Samuel going to be a superstar?

1134
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:05,160
Speaker 4: Probably not, But if those are useful players who.

1135
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,080
Speaker 16: You can count on to step up when they need

1136
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:11,880
Speaker 16: to and let Kincaid and Cook sort of carry the

1137
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,400
Speaker 16: load most of the time, I think this offense can

1138
00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 16: be perfectly fine, and and it sets up well for

1139
00:58:17,880 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 16: the future where even you know, even if there's some

1140
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,480
Speaker 16: growing pains, even if things don't look great right away,

1141
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 16: you now suddenly have a young supporting cast, Like, you know,

1142
00:58:29,120 --> 00:58:31,800
Speaker 16: instead of saying how many more years do we have

1143
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 16: with Josh and Diggs, now it's like okay, well, Dalton

1144
00:58:34,560 --> 00:58:37,959
Speaker 16: Kinkaid is he's only halfway through his rookie deal. James

1145
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 16: Cook is on a rookie deal. Keon Coleman will see

1146
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:42,200
Speaker 16: what he can do if if he has a nice

1147
00:58:42,240 --> 00:58:44,360
Speaker 16: rookie year, you feel good about that and you can

1148
00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:47,040
Speaker 16: continue to add in the draft into the next year.

1149
00:58:47,400 --> 00:58:49,240
Speaker 16: I know, you know, I'm getting ahead of myself because

1150
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,440
Speaker 16: we haven't even started this season. But I do think

1151
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,080
Speaker 16: the Bills are are in a good overall spot where

1152
00:58:55,320 --> 00:58:58,640
Speaker 16: they're going to be competitive this year and they've shed

1153
00:58:58,800 --> 00:59:02,280
Speaker 16: some of that older expensive salary on their team where

1154
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,760
Speaker 16: if they do their jobs right here these next you know,

1155
00:59:06,080 --> 00:59:10,160
Speaker 16: one to two years, they could build another juggernaut before

1156
00:59:10,200 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 16: we know it. So I like the I like the

1157
00:59:13,040 --> 00:59:16,360
Speaker 16: big picture a lot. And I also I think people

1158
00:59:16,400 --> 00:59:18,120
Speaker 16: are kind of sleeping on what the Bills might be

1159
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:19,360
Speaker 16: capable of this year as well.

1160
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, and and we do have to roll into that

1161
00:59:22,280 --> 00:59:25,240
Speaker 2: the fact that they're gonna have to redo Josh's contract

1162
00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:27,560
Speaker 2: next year because they did a cap conversion this year

1163
00:59:27,600 --> 00:59:30,280
Speaker 2: to try to make everything work. Combined with the money

1164
00:59:30,320 --> 00:59:33,720
Speaker 2: they ate on digs deal, I mean, his cap figures

1165
00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,840
Speaker 2: like sixty four million next year, they're gonna They're gonna

1166
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 2: fix that, and maybe he gets his next big contract

1167
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: as soon as next year. But we'll have to see

1168
00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:44,520
Speaker 2: how all those things shake out. Which kind of brings

1169
00:59:44,600 --> 00:59:46,040
Speaker 2: me to a team that I know you spend a

1170
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 2: lot of time on, which which has a quarterback contract

1171
00:59:49,800 --> 00:59:52,360
Speaker 2: to deal with and a wide receiver contract to deal

1172
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:56,880
Speaker 2: with in Dallas. I know Jerry Jones is, you know,

1173
00:59:57,920 --> 01:00:00,600
Speaker 2: playing in the media as he usually does. You know

1174
01:00:00,720 --> 01:00:05,560
Speaker 2: he prompted an LOL tweet from his star receiver. How

1175
01:00:06,080 --> 01:00:10,120
Speaker 2: how does all of this shakeout? Is Trey Lance a

1176
01:00:10,240 --> 01:00:14,960
Speaker 2: factor at all in the future for the Cowboys. I'm

1177
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:19,440
Speaker 2: just I'm mystified by Jones' lack of activity when he

1178
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:24,240
Speaker 2: has a history of paying his frontline players sooner rather

1179
01:00:24,360 --> 01:00:27,040
Speaker 2: than later. And we're getting to the bewitching hour here

1180
01:00:27,200 --> 01:00:28,439
Speaker 2: on Prescott and Lamb.

1181
01:00:30,560 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 16: I've covered the Cowboys for a decade at this point,

1182
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:36,000
Speaker 16: and I mean, for starters, it's always gonna be something.

1183
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 16: There's always going to be some sort of circus element

1184
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:42,880
Speaker 16: with Dallas, but this this really feels like unprecedented territory.

1185
01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,840
Speaker 16: I will say, you're right, Jerry Jones has I mean,

1186
01:00:46,040 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 16: he pays his guys when he's got an all Pro

1187
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,840
Speaker 16: caliber player, they typically get their contract, but I will

1188
01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,720
Speaker 16: point out the Cowboys love to make it difficult.

1189
01:00:54,760 --> 01:00:54,920
Speaker 13: You know.

1190
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:56,880
Speaker 16: They drew it out for a year and a half

1191
01:00:57,000 --> 01:00:59,520
Speaker 16: with Dak Prescott before he finally got his deal. It

1192
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 16: was actually it was five years ago that they did

1193
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,720
Speaker 16: these training camp shenanigans with Ezekiel Elliott. In twenty nineteen,

1194
01:01:06,680 --> 01:01:09,200
Speaker 16: Zeke missed all of training camp and reported to the

1195
01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 16: facility to sign his extension within ten days at the

1196
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:16,080
Speaker 16: start of the regular season. So there's precedent here that

1197
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:19,800
Speaker 16: they could push this lamb thing for another couple of weeks,

1198
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:21,680
Speaker 16: as ill advised as I think that way.

1199
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, they did the same thing with him at Smith

1200
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:24,760
Speaker 1: as well. Back in the day.

1201
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:25,360
Speaker 4: They did.

1202
01:01:25,440 --> 01:01:28,280
Speaker 16: Yeah, they very famously had to lose a couple of games,

1203
01:01:28,360 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 16: and I believe it was nineteen ninety four.

1204
01:01:30,800 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 1: The second of which was a rematch of Super Bowl twenties.

1205
01:01:34,560 --> 01:01:36,560
Speaker 1: We beat him in DA why do you remember, and

1206
01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 1: they signed him right after the Bills beat him. Yeah.

1207
01:01:39,480 --> 01:01:43,840
Speaker 16: So yeah, as soon as they started losing regular season games,

1208
01:01:43,880 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 16: they were like, all right, we'll give you, we'll give

1209
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:46,360
Speaker 16: you what you want.

1210
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:49,040
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, there is there is precedent here.

1211
01:01:49,120 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 16: But what makes it very intriguing is Dak Prescott's leverage

1212
01:01:53,320 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 16: puts this outside the regular scope. You know, like Dak Prescott,

1213
01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:01,680
Speaker 16: he has no trade clause and a no tag clause

1214
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 16: on his deal. He's obviously already been paid at the

1215
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:06,920
Speaker 16: top of the market, so there's less incentive to just

1216
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 16: take a deal because you want the money. Dak Prescott

1217
01:02:10,680 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 16: could push this thing, and I truly think if he

1218
01:02:13,720 --> 01:02:15,720
Speaker 16: doesn't have a deal here in the next ten days,

1219
01:02:16,080 --> 01:02:17,880
Speaker 16: I think he's going to hit free agency in March

1220
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 16: because it's just very rare that an all pro caliber

1221
01:02:21,920 --> 01:02:25,000
Speaker 16: quarterback gets to the open market, and why would you

1222
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,240
Speaker 16: hand over that leverage if you don't have to. What's

1223
01:02:27,280 --> 01:02:30,680
Speaker 16: interesting is the effect that that could have on CD Lamb.

1224
01:02:30,800 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 16: Now the report is, you know, there's still a little

1225
01:02:33,440 --> 01:02:35,960
Speaker 16: bit of part in terms of guarantees, in terms of

1226
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 16: the length of the contract, But maybe CD also has

1227
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:42,840
Speaker 16: his eye on this quarterback situation and says, who's going

1228
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 16: to be throwing me the ball in twenty twenty five?

1229
01:02:44,680 --> 01:02:47,200
Speaker 16: Guys like am I how do I feel about the

1230
01:02:47,280 --> 01:02:49,560
Speaker 16: future that I'm signing up for? So there are a

1231
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 16: lot of moving parts here. If I had to guess

1232
01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:55,200
Speaker 16: because this is the track record, I think CD is

1233
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,800
Speaker 16: going to sign his deal. Like I said, it might

1234
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,600
Speaker 16: take until the week of the season, but tipic the

1235
01:03:00,680 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 16: Cowboys find a way to get these things done. They

1236
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 16: just like to make it as dramatic as possible. As

1237
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 16: far as the Trey Lance thing, I'm rooting for the guy,

1238
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:11,479
Speaker 16: and I do think he showed improvement from the first

1239
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:15,000
Speaker 16: preseason game to the next. But based on what we've seen,

1240
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 16: Trey Lance looks like what we know he is, which

1241
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,320
Speaker 16: is a quarterback that just hasn't played a lot of

1242
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,000
Speaker 16: NFL football, And from what I've seen to this point,

1243
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,760
Speaker 16: I don't know how the Cowboys could be thinking of

1244
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:29,280
Speaker 16: him as a viable option to be their starter. Like

1245
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:31,840
Speaker 16: in a perfect world, that would be the case. And

1246
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:34,400
Speaker 16: you know, if Trey Lance had come out this preseason

1247
01:03:34,960 --> 01:03:37,600
Speaker 16: and lit the world on fire and looked like C. J.

1248
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:40,920
Speaker 16: Stroud or Jordan Love, then maybe the Cowboys would have

1249
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 16: some leverage and they'd say, hey, maybe we can do

1250
01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:45,320
Speaker 16: something with this. But that just hasn't been the case,

1251
01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:48,440
Speaker 16: and I think it just gives that much more leverage

1252
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,640
Speaker 16: to Dak that if they don't sign him, there's really

1253
01:03:51,720 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 16: not much in the way of a backup plan.

1254
01:03:53,880 --> 01:03:56,040
Speaker 1: What to give us an idea about you know, the

1255
01:03:56,240 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Ioloa the headlines and his not

1256
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:04,600
Speaker 1: only words about flora Is his former head coach, but

1257
01:04:04,680 --> 01:04:07,880
Speaker 1: also his new contract, the one he seems to be

1258
01:04:07,920 --> 01:04:11,680
Speaker 1: clamoring for. Then was he got the one that he got?

1259
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:16,640
Speaker 16: I mean, the stuff with Brian Flores is incredibly interesting,

1260
01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:19,680
Speaker 16: and it's already it's leading to you know, you're seeing

1261
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:23,440
Speaker 16: it on social media. There's some very interesting conversations happening

1262
01:04:23,520 --> 01:04:27,680
Speaker 16: about the old school way of coaching and the tough

1263
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:30,480
Speaker 16: love and whether that's necessary at this point. I mean,

1264
01:04:30,720 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 16: at this point, it really feels like we're watching the

1265
01:04:33,240 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 16: culture of football change and it's cool to hear to

1266
01:04:36,960 --> 01:04:40,520
Speaker 16: talk about what positive reinforcement and belief from Mike McDaniel

1267
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 16: did for him. I think his his contract is fascinating

1268
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:49,600
Speaker 16: to me because I mean, I'll just say it, like,

1269
01:04:49,720 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 16: I have concerns about to as a franchise quarterback about

1270
01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:57,960
Speaker 16: you know, clearly there have been issues with durability. The

1271
01:04:58,080 --> 01:05:02,040
Speaker 16: Dolphins have had issues with health and with playing their

1272
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,920
Speaker 16: best football down the stretch of the last couple of seasons.

1273
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,439
Speaker 16: This is a deal that I would say I would

1274
01:05:07,440 --> 01:05:11,520
Speaker 16: be reluctant to sign. But at the same time, that's

1275
01:05:11,600 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 16: the paradox, is what's the alternative? And are you willing

1276
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 16: to potentially go into the wilderness at quarterback? Like it's

1277
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:20,840
Speaker 16: easy for me to say that I'm not sure Tua

1278
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,920
Speaker 16: is good enough to sign a two hundred million dollar extension,

1279
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:27,800
Speaker 16: But what is the alternative? What do the Dolphins do

1280
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,600
Speaker 16: if they don't pay Tua? And if you were to

1281
01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,680
Speaker 16: go back to the well and draft a quarterback a

1282
01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 16: what are the odds he's going to be better than Tua, who,

1283
01:05:37,160 --> 01:05:39,640
Speaker 16: for whatever his flaws are, he is good enough to

1284
01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:42,400
Speaker 16: lead the league in passing, Like, he's clearly a good quarterback,

1285
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 16: So what are the odds that you draft a guy

1286
01:05:44,920 --> 01:05:47,240
Speaker 16: who is better than that? And what are the odds

1287
01:05:47,320 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 16: that he's ready to play at a high level while

1288
01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:53,120
Speaker 16: Tyreek Hill is still in his prime and ready to

1289
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:56,800
Speaker 16: be the face of a playoff team potentially the best

1290
01:05:56,840 --> 01:05:59,520
Speaker 16: receiver in football, you know, the type of receiver that

1291
01:06:00,200 --> 01:06:03,760
Speaker 16: help you make a playoff run. So I can't say

1292
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:05,760
Speaker 16: I love the deal, but I also don't really feel

1293
01:06:05,760 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 16: like the Dolphins had much of an alternative. And that

1294
01:06:08,640 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 16: is why quarterbacks have such a lucrative market right now.

1295
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,800
Speaker 16: It's a very interesting discussion. I feel like the bubble

1296
01:06:15,880 --> 01:06:18,760
Speaker 16: is going to burst eventually and teams will start to

1297
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 16: balk at these prices. But it hasn't happened yet, and

1298
01:06:22,240 --> 01:06:24,760
Speaker 16: I can't really say I blame them either, because the

1299
01:06:24,840 --> 01:06:26,800
Speaker 16: alternative is very, very scary.

1300
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:30,520
Speaker 2: Quickly, before we let you go here, David, we were

1301
01:06:30,560 --> 01:06:33,520
Speaker 2: in Pittsburgh last week and we saw the abomination of

1302
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,200
Speaker 2: quarterback play that was the Steelers. Russell Wilson didn't get

1303
01:06:37,240 --> 01:06:41,000
Speaker 2: anything done, justin fields, can't get past his first read

1304
01:06:41,080 --> 01:06:45,160
Speaker 2: before he's off and running. Kyle Allen is their third

1305
01:06:45,200 --> 01:06:47,440
Speaker 2: string quarterback. He didn't even play last week, but he

1306
01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 2: looked pretty good the week before, granted it was against

1307
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,960
Speaker 2: third stringers. What is Mike Tomlin going to do here?

1308
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,320
Speaker 2: I think he thought he had a better situation. I'm

1309
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:57,439
Speaker 2: not convinced that he does.

1310
01:06:59,240 --> 01:07:02,280
Speaker 16: I'm really fast to see what Mike Tomlin does this weekend.

1311
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:05,160
Speaker 16: I already forgot who the Steelers are playing in their

1312
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 16: preseason finale. I believe it's uh they're playing. Oh, they're

1313
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:13,640
Speaker 16: playing the Lions. You know, we've all been around the

1314
01:07:13,680 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 16: game for a long time, like the last preseason game

1315
01:07:15,920 --> 01:07:18,120
Speaker 16: is typically an audition for the guys on the fringe

1316
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 16: of their roster, Like the guys that you know are

1317
01:07:20,440 --> 01:07:22,480
Speaker 16: going to play a role for you in Week one

1318
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:26,440
Speaker 16: are typically not playing in the final preseason game. But

1319
01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,360
Speaker 16: do you not want to see a little bit more

1320
01:07:29,480 --> 01:07:32,240
Speaker 16: from Fields and Wilson? Like you just want to make

1321
01:07:32,360 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 16: this decision based on what we've seen so far, which

1322
01:07:35,760 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 16: is not a lot.

1323
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 4: So I don't know what he's going to do, but

1324
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:40,320
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be.

1325
01:07:40,360 --> 01:07:42,800
Speaker 16: Surprised if Mike Tomlin wants to see more from his

1326
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 16: quarterbacks in this last game.

1327
01:07:44,200 --> 01:07:46,880
Speaker 4: Because I don't feel good about making this choice.

1328
01:07:47,320 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 16: I said recently, I'm not trying to convince anybody that

1329
01:07:50,840 --> 01:07:54,120
Speaker 16: Justin Fields is a is a good quarterback. But I

1330
01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 16: do think Justin Fields is athleticism gives you an element

1331
01:07:58,200 --> 01:08:00,480
Speaker 16: to kind of fake it till you make it, and

1332
01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:02,400
Speaker 16: I think that's what the Steelers might have to do.

1333
01:08:02,480 --> 01:08:05,000
Speaker 16: I mean their offensive line, they're going to be starting

1334
01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,520
Speaker 16: a lot of young players this year. I wouldn't be

1335
01:08:07,600 --> 01:08:09,560
Speaker 16: surprised if their quarterback has to do a lot of

1336
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:13,160
Speaker 16: things out of structure and outside the pocket. So I'm

1337
01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:15,400
Speaker 16: not telling you I feel good about it, but I

1338
01:08:15,520 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 16: do think that that you know, speaks to Justin Field's

1339
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:22,519
Speaker 16: skill set at this point in his career. So not

1340
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 16: a good choice at all, but but I would probably

1341
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 16: roll with Fields based on what we've seen, so.

1342
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:31,080
Speaker 2: Kind of like a lesser the two Eagles kind of deal,

1343
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: thank you exactly.

1344
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's I mean, it's not a good choice, but

1345
01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:34,880
Speaker 4: that's where they are.

1346
01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 2: David, appreciate the time. We'll catch up with you down

1347
01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 2: the line. Enjoy the season, man, anytime, y'all as well.

1348
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:42,479
Speaker 4: Appreciate it all right.

1349
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:45,960
Speaker 2: That's David Hellman, Fox Sports, NFL and Cowboys analyst, also

1350
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 2: host of the NFL on Fox podcast. We will take

1351
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,599
Speaker 2: a break here when we come back. Keon Coleman addressing

1352
01:08:53,680 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: the media after practice. We'll catch up with him next

1353
01:08:55,920 --> 01:09:13,960
Speaker 2: here on one Bill's Live. Stay with us back here,

1354
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,360
Speaker 2: I want Bills Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you

1355
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:22,040
Speaker 2: and addressing the media post practice. Is the number one

1356
01:09:22,120 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 2: pick taken at the top of the second round. One

1357
01:09:25,320 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 2: keyon Coleman addressing the media, Let's see what he's got

1358
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,720
Speaker 2: to say. Heading into the final week of the preseason,

1359
01:09:31,960 --> 01:09:33,120
Speaker 2: John said the starters.

1360
01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:36,439
Speaker 13: Aren't playing at the final preseason game. Yeah, so how

1361
01:09:36,520 --> 01:09:37,640
Speaker 13: prepared who you are?

1362
01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 7: For people?

1363
01:09:38,080 --> 01:09:41,599
Speaker 2: One, take it into account preseason and and your journey

1364
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 2: and back towards season.

1365
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:45,920
Speaker 17: Again, I think I'm pretty prepared, ready to get out there,

1366
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 17: get the game plan, and then really get to play,

1367
01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 17: knowing what I have to do and when I have

1368
01:09:49,479 --> 01:09:50,920
Speaker 17: to do it and where I need to be.

1369
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 6: Your first two preseason performances, just as you reflect on it,

1370
01:09:58,000 --> 01:09:58,920
Speaker 6: what do you have to work on?

1371
01:09:59,080 --> 01:10:00,439
Speaker 3: What are you looking forward to as.

1372
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 17: You're progress in your NFL career, it was pretty so

1373
01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,040
Speaker 17: so always can be better, but just getting out there,

1374
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:08,719
Speaker 17: feeling the speed of the game more and just playing

1375
01:10:08,800 --> 01:10:10,280
Speaker 17: and doing what I know I can do.

1376
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:14,080
Speaker 5: I guess about what he felt like was the biggest

1377
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 5: challenge for you, and he said adjusting to the two

1378
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:20,240
Speaker 5: different ways that defenders are going to deal with you.

1379
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:23,639
Speaker 5: How in your mind you go about doing that trying

1380
01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 5: to make those adjustments.

1381
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 17: So, for one, really you can understand the rhythm that

1382
01:10:27,880 --> 01:10:29,560
Speaker 17: they play at the type of things they like to

1383
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 17: take away, and then from watching the film, taking account

1384
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:34,560
Speaker 17: the guys they are probably going against are not you know,

1385
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 17: the same size as your speed and can do the

1386
01:10:36,640 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 17: different things that you can do. So just imagining how

1387
01:10:39,080 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 17: it will stop myself pretty much is the same way

1388
01:10:41,240 --> 01:10:43,760
Speaker 17: as they are imagining how to stop me when I'm

1389
01:10:43,800 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 17: going out there.

1390
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:45,200
Speaker 3: So just continue to.

1391
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:48,800
Speaker 17: Being creative, asking for different coverages, leverages in one on

1392
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,519
Speaker 17: ones and in practice and just perfecting it that way.

1393
01:10:51,960 --> 01:10:54,880
Speaker 5: Is there something that you can only do through reps

1394
01:10:54,960 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 5: on field? Uh?

1395
01:10:56,680 --> 01:10:56,920
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1396
01:10:57,120 --> 01:10:59,600
Speaker 17: So so so you know, pretty much, just test the

1397
01:10:59,640 --> 01:11:01,800
Speaker 17: guy out, you know, when it's not a pass player

1398
01:11:02,160 --> 01:11:04,120
Speaker 17: or it's a run play, try something here and there

1399
01:11:04,439 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 17: and just see if what you've been studying is really

1400
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:07,479
Speaker 17: what was going on out there.

1401
01:11:07,800 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 12: Yet.

1402
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:12,559
Speaker 9: You gotta play the doorways football.

1403
01:11:12,920 --> 01:11:13,360
Speaker 3: Definitely.

1404
01:11:13,479 --> 01:11:15,599
Speaker 17: I feel like any ball come my way, I can

1405
01:11:15,640 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 17: catch it. I honestly, what happened?

1406
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:18,800
Speaker 4: Wash?

1407
01:11:18,920 --> 01:11:19,559
Speaker 8: What what do you think?

1408
01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:19,920
Speaker 1: Backman?

1409
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:20,240
Speaker 9: Like?

1410
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 3: Just a drop focus, drop, Gotta look the ball in

1411
01:11:23,120 --> 01:11:23,679
Speaker 3: and make a play.

1412
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 5: Who you gotta see? Johnson count feeling a responsibility?

1413
01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:30,599
Speaker 2: Yet my attack, says guy, and it's a quarterback.

1414
01:11:31,080 --> 01:11:32,679
Speaker 5: You're just coming in this league.

1415
01:11:33,439 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 12: You have to feel what a back I mean, you

1416
01:11:35,160 --> 01:11:35,840
Speaker 12: have to take care.

1417
01:11:35,760 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 7: Of what you have to get.

1418
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:39,720
Speaker 5: What the responsibility to get a quarterback to pay every day?

1419
01:11:39,760 --> 01:11:43,200
Speaker 17: Can you treat you today for sure, because I'm one

1420
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,400
Speaker 17: of the guys he's throwing the ball to, so he

1421
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 17: got the trust he having me. I gotta relayed back,

1422
01:11:48,040 --> 01:11:51,280
Speaker 17: make those catchers, make both of us look good.

1423
01:11:51,320 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 3: You know I can't do that. How I'm supposed to

1424
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:54,400
Speaker 3: get out there and make the plays.

1425
01:11:55,840 --> 01:11:59,719
Speaker 18: Science is you're a starter. Do you feel like a starter?

1426
01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:00,840
Speaker 9: NW?

1427
01:12:00,920 --> 01:12:02,760
Speaker 17: I just feel like I'm going out there playing at

1428
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:04,360
Speaker 17: the lead level and got a lot of the league

1429
01:12:04,360 --> 01:12:05,200
Speaker 17: guys onside me that.

1430
01:12:05,680 --> 01:12:06,720
Speaker 3: Then you know you gotta hold you on.

1431
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:13,479

01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:13,800
Speaker 5: help me.

1433
01:12:13,880 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 3: Everybody gonna already ex operation. You got to help the thing.

1434
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:18,840
Speaker 2: Prop you talk to me.

1435
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:22,519
Speaker 17: Honestly, I don't think that's a that's a struggle. You

1436
01:12:22,560 --> 01:12:24,880
Speaker 17: know you gonna we gonna find out sooner than later.

1437
01:12:25,240 --> 01:12:27,800
Speaker 17: But I don't think that's a concern. Think that's something

1438
01:12:27,840 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 17: I continue to work at and show through our practice

1439
01:12:30,360 --> 01:12:31,040
Speaker 17: throughout week the week.

1440
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:35,040
Speaker 3: Basis for a player like that, you gonna walk talking.

1441
01:12:35,439 --> 01:12:37,720
Speaker 1: Don't drop me in done like.

1442
01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:38,920
Speaker 15: Take me into like.

1443
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,360
Speaker 2: It's just like frustrating what seeing like that happens.

1444
01:12:41,439 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 17: Take trying to break it down, talk about it into

1445
01:12:45,360 --> 01:12:47,920
Speaker 17: I think it's more frustrating when it happens than after,

1446
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,360
Speaker 17: cause after you already in process the feeling, you know,

1447
01:12:50,720 --> 01:12:52,559
Speaker 17: right after you kind of mad. But you gotta get

1448
01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,400
Speaker 17: to the next play man. You know when you watch

1449
01:12:54,439 --> 01:12:56,120
Speaker 17: the film, everybody in the room though, you gotta catch that,

1450
01:12:56,240 --> 01:12:58,640
Speaker 17: so nobody's gonna continue to harp on you. People make

1451
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,200
Speaker 17: harmless jokes throughout practice and stuff, but you gotta go.

1452
01:13:01,320 --> 01:13:03,599
Speaker 17: You gotta make that catch, simple as that, right.

1453
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:07,320
Speaker 10: Joe said that the wide receivers blocking Saturday was very good.

1454
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,880
Speaker 10: How much more are you being asked at this level

1455
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:12,720
Speaker 10: to block? And what's been that you know, adjustment for

1456
01:13:12,800 --> 01:13:14,680
Speaker 10: you versus what you might have done in Florida.

1457
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:17,880
Speaker 3: State, Uh, you know, flustered, a lot was RPOs, different

1458
01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:18,360
Speaker 3: things like that.

1459
01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,240
Speaker 17: But now it's going just given effort backside, going to

1460
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:23,840
Speaker 17: get the safeties and when the bubbles spit out ther side,

1461
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:25,679
Speaker 17: making sure the corner can't make that play.

1462
01:13:27,479 --> 01:13:30,679
Speaker 5: Show the most growth maybe from the start of training camps, now.

1463
01:13:31,240 --> 01:13:33,320
Speaker 17: Speed of the game, playing at the speed of everybody

1464
01:13:33,320 --> 01:13:35,920
Speaker 17: else playing, and just pretty much making the players that

1465
01:13:35,960 --> 01:13:38,280
Speaker 17: they knew I could make a lot of wide.

1466
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 2: Receivers will pick first round or early second round. Do

1467
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 2: you take any chittion what everybody else that's going on,

1468
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,320
Speaker 2: if you have a sense of competissue.

1469
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:50,439
Speaker 3: With those guys that you're off to, I wouldn't say so.

1470
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,080
Speaker 17: I don't mean saluted them getting drafted where they got drafted.

1471
01:13:54,120 --> 01:13:56,360
Speaker 17: But I'm a guy that comes in ready to work

1472
01:13:56,400 --> 01:13:57,639
Speaker 17: and outwork anybody that's.

1473
01:13:57,520 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 3: In my field to play.

1474
01:13:58,840 --> 01:14:01,080
Speaker 17: So you know, the was gonna lay what they're gonna play,

1475
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 17: depending on production and all that, and that's gonna ask

1476
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:05,040
Speaker 17: for everybody else to do.

1477
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:06,040
Speaker 3: I'm here to do my job.

1478
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:10,800
Speaker 5: Made him out the personality when you first got here.

1479
01:14:11,400 --> 01:14:14,200
Speaker 10: Now that you've gotten from training camp, things like that,

1480
01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:17,120
Speaker 10: if you tried to shift these or key on go

1481
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:18,400
Speaker 10: with the football.

1482
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,640
Speaker 3: Player one ass things not being key on Coleman the

1483
01:14:20,640 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 3: football play.

1484
01:14:21,479 --> 01:14:24,400
Speaker 2: You know, so much attention with the jacket, the cookies

1485
01:14:24,400 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 2: and all of that, And now that you've got it

1486
01:14:26,479 --> 01:14:26,920
Speaker 2: to mean on.

1487
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:29,679
Speaker 6: The field of me, have you tried to maybe ship

1488
01:14:29,720 --> 01:14:32,200
Speaker 6: away from that and just need more like let's talk,

1489
01:14:32,479 --> 01:14:33,120
Speaker 6: let's talk shop.

1490
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:35,880
Speaker 17: I mean, I don't really like talking about a jacket, Nita.

1491
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:39,240
Speaker 17: It's football season. Like my mindset has been football ever

1492
01:14:39,320 --> 01:14:40,519
Speaker 17: since my first press conference.

1493
01:14:40,600 --> 01:14:40,960
Speaker 3: Football.

1494
01:14:41,040 --> 01:14:43,320
Speaker 17: Yeah, you got to see the personality, but was out

1495
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 17: of want to focus on the jacket, not at all.

1496
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,519
Speaker 17: I will focus on learning to playbook and being able

1497
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:48,559
Speaker 17: to play at the speed of the game.

1498
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,839
Speaker 2: All right, that's keyon Coleman addressing the media after practice today.

1499
01:14:54,560 --> 01:14:57,960
Speaker 2: We heard coach mc dermott yesterday in his press conference

1500
01:14:58,000 --> 01:15:01,519
Speaker 2: say the starters will not play on Saturday. I think

1501
01:15:01,560 --> 01:15:05,160
Speaker 2: with the Curtis Samuel injury, he is one hundred percent

1502
01:15:05,600 --> 01:15:09,920
Speaker 2: in that category. Kean Coleman is a starting player. He's

1503
01:15:09,960 --> 01:15:11,080
Speaker 2: not going to play on some Well.

1504
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:13,760
Speaker 1: The starting player to me is anybody who is if

1505
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,400
Speaker 1: there's a if there's a personnel group and you're in it,

1506
01:15:18,120 --> 01:15:23,000
Speaker 1: whether it's short yardage goal whatever, yeah, you're start. You're in.

1507
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,519
Speaker 1: Because you never know how you're going to start the

1508
01:15:24,600 --> 01:15:27,120
Speaker 1: game anyway. So if if they're going to go into

1509
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 1: a personnel group and you're on the field in that,

1510
01:15:29,439 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: in that game, that's what it is, and you've got

1511
01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,280
Speaker 1: to be ready to go. And that's that's that's why

1512
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,880
Speaker 1: it's so hard to find guy eleven guys on offense

1513
01:15:36,880 --> 01:15:39,240
Speaker 1: who can go in there and substitute and all that stuff,

1514
01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:42,759
Speaker 1: because there's so many guys who are on that eleven

1515
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,160
Speaker 1: man when you're in whatever personnel group you're in.

1516
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,920
Speaker 2: I think almost everybody universally agrees that the top four

1517
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:51,479
Speaker 2: receivers on this roster through performance and training camp in

1518
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:55,200
Speaker 2: the preseason are Matt Collins, khalilshk Here, Curtis Samuel, and

1519
01:15:55,360 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman. And now with Samuel down and week to

1520
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 2: week with a toe injury, I think it only increases

1521
01:16:06,840 --> 01:16:09,400
Speaker 2: the chance of Coleman sitting this Saturday with the rest

1522
01:16:09,439 --> 01:16:13,639
Speaker 2: of the starters. Speaking of starters, another one who won't

1523
01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:17,120
Speaker 2: play on Saturday is quarterback Josh Allen. He is addressing

1524
01:16:17,160 --> 01:16:19,080
Speaker 2: the media. Now, let's go to him.

1525
01:16:20,320 --> 01:16:23,360
Speaker 10: Kiot say he called it a drop in the goal line.

1526
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 5: He put it out himself.

1527
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: You see that.

1528
01:16:25,360 --> 01:16:26,639
Speaker 3: I know you weren't on the field at the time.

1529
01:16:27,080 --> 01:16:27,759
Speaker 3: What kind of message?

1530
01:16:27,800 --> 01:16:29,400
Speaker 10: What kind of communication can you have with a young

1531
01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 10: received rafter a situation like that.

1532
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,560
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean it's all all learning experiences, you know.

1533
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 8: I know Mitchell say that he could have gave him

1534
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,040
Speaker 8: a better ball, and Kean's gonna say he could he

1535
01:16:38,120 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 8: could have got that. So we can clean up a

1536
01:16:41,160 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 8: little bit of both. I think we're probably celebrating the

1537
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:46,800
Speaker 8: end zone and everyone's staying calm. But Mitch was also

1538
01:16:46,840 --> 01:16:49,880
Speaker 8: playing on a bad knee that drive, and I commend

1539
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:52,120
Speaker 8: him for toughing it out. That's not easy to do

1540
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 8: and he's stuck in there to help his teammates.

1541
01:16:54,080 --> 01:16:58,120
Speaker 18: And yeah, remember back a while ago when you were

1542
01:16:58,800 --> 01:17:02,639
Speaker 18: talking about looking back at film at Wyoming and it's

1543
01:17:02,800 --> 01:17:05,599
Speaker 18: those gross you called it. There's no film on leadership,

1544
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 18: there's no film on that to judge that. But as

1545
01:17:09,120 --> 01:17:13,200
Speaker 18: you reflect back, how much have you grown in as

1546
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:15,800
Speaker 18: a leader seven years into the NFL, or if you

1547
01:17:16,040 --> 01:17:19,080
Speaker 18: think back and maybe become more assertive or in what

1548
01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:20,720
Speaker 18: ways have you brought as a leader?

1549
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean I think there's a level of right

1550
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:28,759
Speaker 8: trying to be always be who I am, be myself,

1551
01:17:28,840 --> 01:17:32,680
Speaker 8: be as authentic as possible, and everyone knows that's a

1552
01:17:32,840 --> 01:17:35,599
Speaker 8: joyous guy that likes to have fun. Like I love

1553
01:17:35,680 --> 01:17:39,719
Speaker 8: the game of football, I love life. But there's times

1554
01:17:39,760 --> 01:17:42,800
Speaker 8: where you know there doesn't need to be joking around.

1555
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,679
Speaker 8: You know, time to get serious. And over the years,

1556
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,599
Speaker 8: I've found when that is the most critical and when

1557
01:17:48,600 --> 01:17:51,680
Speaker 8: it's the hardest to do, sometimes is the right thing

1558
01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:53,840
Speaker 8: to do. And I think just over the course of

1559
01:17:53,960 --> 01:17:56,479
Speaker 8: so many years and talking with different players that we've

1560
01:17:56,520 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 8: brought into the building, different coaches that we've had on

1561
01:17:59,680 --> 01:18:02,160
Speaker 8: staff off, and just learning from each and every one

1562
01:18:02,240 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 8: of them and just trying to apply that to how

1563
01:18:03,960 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 8: I could be the best leader of this team that

1564
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:08,759
Speaker 8: I can be. But ultimately it comes down to being myself.

1565
01:18:08,800 --> 01:18:11,080
Speaker 8: And I feel like I've I've been myself since I've

1566
01:18:11,120 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 8: been here, and I'm going to continue to do so,

1567
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 8: and just trying to bring guys along. So I know

1568
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaker 8: Coach McDermott talks about be you with us, and that's

1569
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:19,040
Speaker 8: all we're trying to do here.

1570
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 5: Give me the two plus months with Joe last year

1571
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,320
Speaker 5: from said helping peoples lecture.

1572
01:18:26,920 --> 01:18:29,360
Speaker 8: Absolutely absolutely, and I think again I was in the

1573
01:18:29,479 --> 01:18:32,439
Speaker 8: quarterback room with him a year and a half prior

1574
01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:35,120
Speaker 8: as well, so we know each other very well. I

1575
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:37,599
Speaker 8: got a lot of faith in him and he does

1576
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,040
Speaker 8: and I so we had to continue to keep growing

1577
01:18:40,160 --> 01:18:44,080
Speaker 8: and talking and understanding what we're trying to accomplish when

1578
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:45,879
Speaker 8: he calls a certain play, and again, I'm an extension

1579
01:18:45,920 --> 01:18:47,160
Speaker 8: of him when I'm on the field, so I got

1580
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,720
Speaker 8: to keep keep learning and just keep asking as many

1581
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 8: questions as I can you sort of.

1582
01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,240
Speaker 12: Get the why of each point call?

1583
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:54,400
Speaker 1: Now?

1584
01:18:54,479 --> 01:18:55,040
Speaker 7: With majority?

1585
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 2: Then?

1586
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:58,160
Speaker 8: Yeah, absolutely, And I think that you know, everything that

1587
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:00,320
Speaker 8: we're doing right now, it has a rhyme and a reason.

1588
01:19:00,400 --> 01:19:03,400
Speaker 8: And you know, you guys saw last year the type

1589
01:19:03,400 --> 01:19:04,960
Speaker 8: of play caller that he is. He you know, he

1590
01:19:05,520 --> 01:19:07,720
Speaker 8: he finds a groove and if something's working, he's gonna

1591
01:19:07,720 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 8: continue to use it, and you know he's gonna have

1592
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 8: jabs and counters as well, so you know, just trust

1593
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:13,639
Speaker 8: him what he's calling.

1594
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:15,280
Speaker 3: We never got a chance to ask.

1595
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,440
Speaker 18: I think you would ask off podcast, But being underpaid

1596
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:21,600
Speaker 18: as a quarterback in this league, what what do you

1597
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:24,439
Speaker 18: make of all these guys getting ahead of you.

1598
01:19:25,320 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 8: Listen, everyone's gonna have their day, and I'm happy that

1599
01:19:28,360 --> 01:19:31,760
Speaker 8: everyone's getting what they're worth, right and I think that, uh,

1600
01:19:32,520 --> 01:19:35,479
Speaker 8: as the game progresses and guys keep getting paid again,

1601
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 8: the market is the market. And I've got no problem

1602
01:19:39,880 --> 01:19:42,600
Speaker 8: with where I'm at right now. And uh, you know,

1603
01:19:42,800 --> 01:19:44,840
Speaker 8: I had my day a couple of years ago, and

1604
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,240
Speaker 8: I'm sure someday I'll have it again, you know, But

1605
01:19:47,400 --> 01:19:48,840
Speaker 8: I think the main thing is the main thing, and

1606
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:51,760
Speaker 8: that's playing football to the best of my ability, and

1607
01:19:52,000 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 8: everything else will take care of itself.

1608
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,320
Speaker 10: You know, the starters will play on Saturday.

1609
01:19:56,960 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 5: I saw.

1610
01:19:57,320 --> 01:19:59,040
Speaker 10: I know you guys do some scout team stuff. When

1611
01:19:59,080 --> 01:20:01,559
Speaker 10: will you really start to take into Arizona and out then.

1612
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 8: I mean, we'll get through this weekend before we actually

1613
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 8: get into exactly what they're gonna do. And again, it's

1614
01:20:07,240 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 8: it's game one, so we can watch all the film

1615
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 8: that we want to watch from last year, but who

1616
01:20:12,600 --> 01:20:14,400
Speaker 8: knows what they're gonna do week one, you know, And

1617
01:20:14,880 --> 01:20:17,439
Speaker 8: we got to understand that we can have a plan

1618
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:19,960
Speaker 8: going into it, but if it's completely different than what

1619
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:22,080
Speaker 8: we've got, we got to adjust in in in making

1620
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:24,519
Speaker 8: game changes, which is something I think that we do

1621
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 8: very well. And Joe's very adaptable and uh, he finds

1622
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:29,679
Speaker 8: a way to put our guys in the best position

1623
01:20:29,800 --> 01:20:33,920
Speaker 8: to to to win. So yeah, I think next week

1624
01:20:33,960 --> 01:20:34,599
Speaker 8: we'll get into him.

1625
01:20:38,439 --> 01:20:41,040
Speaker 5: Let's may be a little bit stands out for you.

1626
01:20:42,640 --> 01:20:45,000
Speaker 8: I mean, I think that his football IQ and I've

1627
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 8: talked about it before. The way that he sees the field,

1628
01:20:48,400 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 8: it's pretty special for a rookie to do. His body control. Uh,

1629
01:20:53,720 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 8: the way that he can go up and jump and

1630
01:20:54,880 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 8: catch balls that you guys have seen throughout camp. So

1631
01:20:58,600 --> 01:21:00,840
Speaker 8: he loves this game, he loves being around his teammates,

1632
01:21:01,439 --> 01:21:03,559
Speaker 8: and uh, I'm very excited to see what he can

1633
01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:04,360
Speaker 8: do for this offense.

1634
01:21:05,640 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 10: Obviously, chose got a big story entry since on Saturday

1635
01:21:08,600 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 10: you're watching him from afar. What you make of him

1636
01:21:10,880 --> 01:21:11,880
Speaker 10: calling the defense in.

1637
01:21:11,920 --> 01:21:13,800
Speaker 8: The game that he put on, Yeah, stepped up into

1638
01:21:13,800 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 8: a position where you know we're we're down a linebackers

1639
01:21:16,200 --> 01:21:19,880
Speaker 8: right now, and didn't blink. He answered the call that

1640
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,760
Speaker 8: was needed to be answered on you know, Saturday. So

1641
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:26,120
Speaker 8: I'm very very happy for him. He works extremely hard.

1642
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:30,439
Speaker 8: We all know the the homeboy hometown hero story, and uh,

1643
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 8: he's not letting it affect him though. He's still out

1644
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 8: here making plays in practice and he's flying around and

1645
01:21:35,040 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 8: playing for some good football right now, which is fun

1646
01:21:37,080 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 8: to see. Any hard lead him now, just switching switching

1647
01:21:42,040 --> 01:21:42,599
Speaker 8: something up.

1648
01:21:43,040 --> 01:21:45,040
Speaker 3: Earlier, you're asking, got up point guard.

1649
01:21:46,880 --> 01:21:47,480
Speaker 1: The basketball?

1650
01:21:47,840 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, sure, that's that's it?

1651
01:21:50,479 --> 01:21:55,080
Speaker 16: About what if you see that kind of Ian seems

1652
01:21:55,080 --> 01:21:57,200
Speaker 16: to make plays every time we watch him in practice,

1653
01:21:57,200 --> 01:21:58,479
Speaker 16: singing the preseason games.

1654
01:21:58,520 --> 01:22:01,560
Speaker 8: But yeah, he's he's just to again, a guy that

1655
01:22:01,640 --> 01:22:05,240
Speaker 8: loves football, loves his teammates, and he finds himself in

1656
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,280
Speaker 8: the right positions because he does things the right way.

1657
01:22:07,320 --> 01:22:10,439
Speaker 8: He's blocking for other guys, he's running routes to get

1658
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 8: other guys open. When when his time is, when he's

1659
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:16,080
Speaker 8: asked to make plays for us, he's making the plays.

1660
01:22:16,200 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: So you know, I know.

1661
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,120
Speaker 8: That at the end of the day, this is a business.

1662
01:22:22,200 --> 01:22:24,320
Speaker 8: And uh, you know, he's fighting hard right now. And

1663
01:22:24,439 --> 01:22:27,080
Speaker 8: I love watching him play. I love watching him practice.

1664
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:31,120
Speaker 8: He's got a boatload of energy and he's fun to

1665
01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 8: be around, and you love rooting for a guy like that.

1666
01:22:33,960 --> 01:22:35,880
Speaker 8: And again, he just continues to make play after play

1667
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:36,559
Speaker 8: throughout these days.

1668
01:22:37,080 --> 01:22:39,760
Speaker 10: How invested do you get at some of the guys too,

1669
01:22:39,800 --> 01:22:43,360
Speaker 10: at the bottom of the rockst knowing that Saturday they're

1670
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:45,280
Speaker 10: they're they're playing for a job in the NFL.

1671
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:48,400
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm very invested in you know, I think all

1672
01:22:48,439 --> 01:22:54,320
Speaker 8: my teammates, and the sad truth is, throughout the entire league,

1673
01:22:54,360 --> 01:22:56,599
Speaker 8: this is the last game that some guys will ever play,

1674
01:22:56,720 --> 01:23:03,000
Speaker 8: and it's it's not a fun Sunday Monday because obviously

1675
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:06,200
Speaker 8: cuts happen, and you make that initial wave of cuts

1676
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,880
Speaker 8: and then the teams are looking at who else got cut.

1677
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 8: So the next day you might also, So it's not fun,

1678
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:17,479
Speaker 8: you know. I feel for the guys. I love these guys,

1679
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:19,680
Speaker 8: and hopefully we can get a lot of them back

1680
01:23:19,720 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 8: because the reality is we can only keep fifty three

1681
01:23:22,000 --> 01:23:25,680
Speaker 8: guys on this active roster. And but again, we got

1682
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,160
Speaker 8: guys that are working hard here each and every day

1683
01:23:28,280 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 8: trying to trying to make the team what you gotta do.

1684
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 1: A lot of the.

1685
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:43,679
Speaker 18: Hill that this team is, which.

1686
01:23:43,479 --> 01:23:47,800
Speaker 3: Cloud whislock that you have s.

1687
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:53,479
Speaker 8: Yeah, And I think I think youth can sometimes be

1688
01:23:53,600 --> 01:23:57,400
Speaker 8: a positive thing. Guys don't know what they don't know,

1689
01:23:57,720 --> 01:24:01,320
Speaker 8: and we're we're able to kind of teach them as

1690
01:24:01,360 --> 01:24:04,000
Speaker 8: as a coaching staff, you know, what we want from them,

1691
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:07,600
Speaker 8: and as coach McDermott preaches the playoff caliber type mentality

1692
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,280
Speaker 8: and the mindset that we have in this building. I think,

1693
01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,519
Speaker 8: you know, having youth and being impressionable there and instilling

1694
01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 8: that into the guys that are coming into this building,

1695
01:24:17,400 --> 01:24:19,080
Speaker 8: it's something that they get right away and they can

1696
01:24:19,120 --> 01:24:22,800
Speaker 8: buy into. So I trust the guys on this team.

1697
01:24:23,400 --> 01:24:25,960
Speaker 8: You know, you talk about on the defensive side with

1698
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 8: Terrell Bernard, a guy that stepped up last year, and

1699
01:24:28,280 --> 01:24:30,400
Speaker 8: I know he's only a couple of years into this

1700
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:35,080
Speaker 8: and and he's still young, but he's gonna play a

1701
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 8: lot for us. And he's done a great job in

1702
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,559
Speaker 8: terms of communicating on that defensive side of the ball,

1703
01:24:39,640 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 8: and guys feel like he's a guy that they can

1704
01:24:41,439 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 8: come to and talk to, you know, in terms of

1705
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,719
Speaker 8: the defensive scheme, and he knows it and he practices

1706
01:24:45,760 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 8: it each and every day. And you can see him

1707
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:49,880
Speaker 8: in this building having work on his body and he

1708
01:24:50,040 --> 01:24:51,439
Speaker 8: just does things the right way. He's a true pro

1709
01:24:51,520 --> 01:24:53,840
Speaker 8: and guys get to see that at such a young

1710
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:58,040
Speaker 8: age and it's infectious to the other guys. So we've

1711
01:24:58,080 --> 01:24:59,840
Speaker 8: got plenty of other guys too that that are in

1712
01:24:59,880 --> 01:25:02,080
Speaker 8: the building that are vets. You talk about Vaughn, you

1713
01:25:02,160 --> 01:25:04,800
Speaker 8: talk about day day, you talk about at Oliver on

1714
01:25:04,840 --> 01:25:07,360
Speaker 8: that defensive line, on the offensive side, guys that have

1715
01:25:07,400 --> 01:25:11,400
Speaker 8: played a lot of football, and Dion Connor, Dave Edwards,

1716
01:25:11,600 --> 01:25:14,200
Speaker 8: guys that have been around. So I'm not worried about

1717
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:14,559
Speaker 8: that at all.

1718
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:17,560
Speaker 6: I think just second, you know what it's like to

1719
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:20,920
Speaker 6: be a high expectations and re wind.

1720
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:22,680
Speaker 3: Chamie seeds focused.

1721
01:25:23,720 --> 01:25:26,240
Speaker 6: But if you ever had investiation, if you take about

1722
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:29,440
Speaker 6: pass obviously he's still craft as.

1723
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:31,240
Speaker 12: Like you had.

1724
01:25:31,800 --> 01:25:34,240
Speaker 5: What are your sense what do you feel in the field?

1725
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:38,280
Speaker 8: I mean, I think talking with him and knowing where

1726
01:25:38,360 --> 01:25:41,320
Speaker 8: he's from and where he's been, I think he's he's

1727
01:25:41,400 --> 01:25:45,360
Speaker 8: made for a city like Buffalo, and I think that again,

1728
01:25:45,360 --> 01:25:47,240
Speaker 8: he's played a lot of big time games in college

1729
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:49,560
Speaker 8: and he's answered the bell there and you know, I

1730
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:52,600
Speaker 8: got I got no worries about his mindset or his

1731
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 8: ability uh to help his team win football games.

1732
01:25:57,160 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 2: I guess keyon Coleman for Josh Allen and interesting that

1733
01:26:03,080 --> 01:26:07,040
Speaker 2: he remains resolutely positive going into the season. He's unaffected

1734
01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,800
Speaker 2: at least in terms of their outlook with respect to

1735
01:26:10,840 --> 01:26:12,760
Speaker 2: all the injuries. And we're still a ways away from

1736
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:15,400
Speaker 2: the opener, so guys do have time to get healthy.

1737
01:26:18,160 --> 01:26:20,800
Speaker 2: Some interesting questions about his leadership too, and what he

1738
01:26:21,160 --> 01:26:22,679
Speaker 2: how he feels he's become a better.

1739
01:26:22,600 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: Leader you think about. I mean, this is a team

1740
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:29,720
Speaker 1: that was full of, you know, iconic players from Tredavious

1741
01:26:29,760 --> 01:26:35,000
Speaker 1: White and Mitch Morris, Poyer Hide, Steph Diggs and Josh

1742
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:37,920
Speaker 1: kind of last guy standing. Dion Dawkins certainly has emerged

1743
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,040
Speaker 1: as a as a leader. Dawson Knox's leader Terrell Bernardo,

1744
01:26:42,080 --> 01:26:45,519
Speaker 1: Aaron Johnson, and Taron Johnson. That so, there have been

1745
01:26:45,560 --> 01:26:49,400
Speaker 1: some guys who have elevated, and it's it's kind of

1746
01:26:49,439 --> 01:26:51,800
Speaker 1: the way of it. When you get a quarterback like Josh,

1747
01:26:51,880 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're hitching your wagon to this guy

1748
01:26:54,160 --> 01:26:56,280
Speaker 1: for like fifteen years. I mean, that's that's just the

1749
01:26:56,320 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 1: way it works in this league. As long as that

1750
01:26:58,439 --> 01:27:00,759
Speaker 1: guy can stand upright, he's going to be your quarterback

1751
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 1: and a lot falls on him. And I've seen other

1752
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:08,840
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks come and go.

1753
01:27:10,479 --> 01:27:11,040
Speaker 11: And they.

1754
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:16,760
Speaker 1: Kind of flexed and used that power, sometimes to their

1755
01:27:16,800 --> 01:27:21,160
Speaker 1: own detriment within an organization, and Josh does not seem

1756
01:27:21,200 --> 01:27:24,519
Speaker 1: to do that. He lets Sean McDermott coach, he lets

1757
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:27,360
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean pick the roster. Certainly they ask him and

1758
01:27:27,439 --> 01:27:29,639
Speaker 1: talk to him about some stuff that's going on, draft picks,

1759
01:27:29,680 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But Josh has has really kept

1760
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 1: a loose grip on the kind of you know sway

1761
01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:41,120
Speaker 1: he has in the building like this, and I think

1762
01:27:41,200 --> 01:27:44,479
Speaker 1: it's it's benefited the entire roster and the entire team,

1763
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 1: particularly at times this time of year, you know. So

1764
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,599
Speaker 1: when he questioned him about it, I get it. He's

1765
01:27:50,680 --> 01:27:52,760
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, I'm just like my guys.

1766
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:53,120
Speaker 1: Let's go.

1767
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 2: You know, we saw NFL analyst and former coaching this league,

1768
01:27:59,400 --> 01:28:02,879
Speaker 2: Jason Garrett at practice today. It's talking to coach McDermott

1769
01:28:02,880 --> 01:28:05,800
Speaker 2: for a while during the early portion of practice. We'll

1770
01:28:05,880 --> 01:28:09,000
Speaker 2: discuss that and what kind of intel you can sometimes

1771
01:28:09,080 --> 01:28:10,920
Speaker 2: pick up as a head coach in this league with

1772
01:28:10,960 --> 01:28:12,800
Speaker 2: those kinds of conversations. We'll get to that when we

1773
01:28:12,880 --> 01:28:31,240
Speaker 2: return here on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right

1774
01:28:31,320 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 2: back here on One Bill's Lives. Some quick thoughts on

1775
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,519
Speaker 2: the tweet sheet about your most encouraging part of the

1776
01:28:36,560 --> 01:28:40,360
Speaker 2: Bills through two preseason games. Austin said, I think Greg

1777
01:28:40,520 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 2: Russo is going to have a career year and lead

1778
01:28:42,960 --> 01:28:44,840
Speaker 2: our team in sacks. I believe the defense will be

1779
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:47,280
Speaker 2: better than expected provided we stay healthy. If they can

1780
01:28:47,400 --> 01:28:49,040
Speaker 2: keep us in games, we always have a chance. With

1781
01:28:49,160 --> 01:28:51,640
Speaker 2: Josh back, there go Bills twee chet brought to you

1782
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,160
Speaker 2: by Corgan Moving Systems, official equipment moving company of the

1783
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:59,080
Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. Granger says, Ray Davis equals stud Buffalo. Joe

1784
01:28:59,240 --> 01:29:02,960
Speaker 2: is great story deserves at least a practice squad spot,

1785
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:05,880
Speaker 2: and Beth says the most encouraging part about the Bills

1786
01:29:05,920 --> 01:29:09,120
Speaker 2: for her. The defensive and offensive lines are strong.

1787
01:29:09,800 --> 01:29:12,439
Speaker 1: That we've been talking about the defensive line. Offensive line

1788
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: all off season. It should. They look deep and talented,

1789
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:18,360
Speaker 1: and we kind of we kind of did a deep

1790
01:29:18,400 --> 01:29:20,840
Speaker 1: breath after the Chicago game, but when they showed up

1791
01:29:20,920 --> 01:29:24,560
Speaker 1: with some intent, both lines did look exactly like we

1792
01:29:24,640 --> 01:29:26,840
Speaker 1: thought they were going to. In fact, Greg Russo jumped

1793
01:29:26,880 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: in and if he plays like that, I mean the

1794
01:29:29,880 --> 01:29:32,439
Speaker 1: guy had two sacks and two series and he beat

1795
01:29:32,600 --> 01:29:36,839
Speaker 1: down another half sack with ed So. And you got Kingsley, Jonathan,

1796
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,880
Speaker 1: You've got John Solomon, and Von Miller is standing over

1797
01:29:39,920 --> 01:29:42,360
Speaker 1: there waiting for his turn. So all of a sudden,

1798
01:29:42,880 --> 01:29:45,920
Speaker 1: some question marks seemed to be answered. And that's pretty cool.

1799
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:48,320
Speaker 2: If you have strong line play on both sides of

1800
01:29:48,360 --> 01:29:51,160
Speaker 2: the ball, that's half the battle. Hopefully they can kind

1801
01:29:51,200 --> 01:29:54,040
Speaker 2: of hold things down while the other parts on the

1802
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,840
Speaker 2: outside and in the back end get healthy. Sure that's

1803
01:29:56,920 --> 01:29:57,240
Speaker 2: the plan.

1804
01:29:57,400 --> 01:29:59,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it gives you a chance anyway, and both sides

1805
01:29:59,320 --> 01:29:59,639
Speaker 1: of the ball.

1806
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:03,000
Speaker 2: Done for today, But we'll catch it right back here tomorrow.

1807
01:30:03,040 --> 01:30:03,960
Speaker 2: We'll see you at one o'clock.
