1
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:10,600
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tester who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:12,280
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:18,840
Speaker 1: player for you. Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:18,880 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 1: the straded beere of normalcy here, all right, Welcome to

5
00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:29,760
Speaker 1: one Build live here on a Tuesday. We're rocking and rolling. Man,

6
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: I'm getting excited. You're getting excited. I'm a little side,

7
00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:33,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm decided. I just brought it up

8
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 1: right before we broke because we were listening to the

9
00:00:35,640 --> 00:00:37,560
Speaker 1: open as we came on, the open that we've used

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: for now for two plus years. Two plus years. We're

11
00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 1: gonna get a new opening, little Montage in training camp,

12
00:00:45,040 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: a new one. We're gonna go for another. It'll probably

13
00:00:47,400 --> 00:00:49,479
Speaker 1: be our new open for the next five years. But

14
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: I'm kind of excited that we haven't. We haven't seen

15
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 1: it yet. They knew what the new open's going or

16
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,680
Speaker 1: heard it, but you know, we've been clamoring for a

17
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: new instead of Steve Tasker, who has been Marv Albert

18
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: doing that, and then you stayed you know, yeah, the

19
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: blimp right, Um, yeah, well we think it'll be cool.

20
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: I'll believe it when I say, but right, the guys

21
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: that control room were talking back there. I can hear him.

22
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:28,280
Speaker 1: They're mum, they're grumbling. Yeah, they're well, they're they're him

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,760
Speaker 1: and and they're largely responsible for there. You know, Uh,

24
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:39,080
Speaker 1: lots to talk. Speaking of the control room, What about Steve.

25
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: How about the high jinks going on today around the office?

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh. We come into the office today and um,

27
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 1: there's a guy there, a new guy. Well, he's not new,

28
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 1: he's new to us. He was new to us. We're

29
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 1: we never met him in the office, never met him.

30
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: And h you know what, that guy could be an imposter?

31
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:06,560
Speaker 1: Oh wow, think about that, you think so? Randy? Yeah,

32
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,240
Speaker 1: the guy's name is Randy, works in it for PSC

33
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 1: finger quotes Randy. And he's here, all right, Well he

34
00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: did send me an email, so it's gets legit anyway.

35
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: He's here because he's trying to track down a rogue

36
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 1: Macintosh laptop. Right, And I'm saying to myself, did the

37
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 1: laptops kind of run them? I mean, I know they're

38
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: you know, I know, we're pretty advanced here technology wise,

39
00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 1: but exactly now we're chasing down the laptops. I'm obviously

40
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,080
Speaker 1: there's an operator to this said laptop. Well, maybe not.

41
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: It might just been sitting somewhere left on and then

42
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 1: you know, here's the thing it And I'm a goober,

43
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 1: so I don't even I'm pretty sure when you push

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:49,520
Speaker 1: the button, it turns on. That's all I know. So

45
00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: this laptop is turning itself on somewhere somewhere they can't

46
00:02:55,440 --> 00:03:00,480
Speaker 1: find it, and it's inviting or it's it's fishing for

47
00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 1: malware for to, you know, to It's like this corporate

48
00:03:05,960 --> 00:03:08,160
Speaker 1: sabotage is going on. I'm like, you know, is this

49
00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: like who is this? You know, does this have like

50
00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:12,839
Speaker 1: a Patriot's logo on it? Or you know, what's the deal?

51
00:03:13,080 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: Who put it here? I don't know if it rose

52
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 1: to that level. No, I don't either, because he says

53
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: they've blocked every time it pops on, they block it

54
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: now right right, They've got the stuff, they have the yeah,

55
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: I mean, they have the red flags that pop up.

56
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 1: So they're trying to locate where this thing is because

57
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: it's on the system. Think about this. You look around

58
00:03:30,040 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: our control room and here I got to, you've got to.

59
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: We've got there are laptops everywhere right in our control room.

60
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: They're like old ones stacked up out here. They're they're everywhere,

61
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: but now they're it's like our I. T. Department has

62
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: turned into the FBI. They're dispatching field agents. That's right. Well,

63
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: they're all coming down. They're like you, ragul. First of all,

64
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: you rarely see any of them come down here. They're

65
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 1: all like, well, yeah, bothering them because we need We're

66
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:59,840
Speaker 1: the wrong with something in the in the scheme of

67
00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:02,680
Speaker 1: one Bill's Drive, we are the wrong side of the tracks.

68
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: So nobody really ever comes down to visit us. So

69
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 1: to have one of them actually like show up, Steve,

70
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:14,240
Speaker 1: you sounded very needy right there. There wasn't huh right, nobody.

71
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: Nobody likes us, very needy. Nobody likes us. So that

72
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:22,160
Speaker 1: we had two of them come down today and they were,

73
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, like their nose and around. I you know,

74
00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, here mine, you can well

75
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 1: we don't even have max I have PCs, so how

76
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,039
Speaker 1: much I know. I'm like, yeah, here's mine. He goes,

77
00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 1: what no, Yeah, So so I'm glad. I'm not even

78
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: I didn't even make the list, right, wasn't you know?

79
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: We didn't want to make We don't even rise to

80
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: the level of concern yeah, so we don't have the

81
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: capability of orchestrating something. It's hilarious that they were down

82
00:04:48,839 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 1: here rooting around everyone looking everywhere, Yeah, trying to find

83
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: this laptop. And I guess it was on it was

84
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: on our like little studio loop of the internet. Is

85
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: that what they're saying, Dude, I don't even know if

86
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:04,560
Speaker 1: you're using the right terminology. I don't even I couldn't

87
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: tell you hide nor herald they seem to know. I

88
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 1: think it was an r end of the building somehow,

89
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 1: someway they had traced it to a certain location. Um,

90
00:05:14,360 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 1: but I don't think they came up with any definitive

91
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: answers as to whether or not they've nailed it down.

92
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: You know, you know they didn't you know, they didn't

93
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,039
Speaker 1: check the guys next to us. Oh do they have

94
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: MAX though? I don't think they do. Dude. They're gonna

95
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 1: check every They're gonna be digging under every corner of

96
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: this place. I have no idea where. But that was

97
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: a weird. That's it was interesting though, because I was

98
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: just like, this is where we are now, Like I

99
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: think we all agree, you know, computers kind of run

100
00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 1: the world. And did you have a problem like this,

101
00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:51,440
Speaker 1: it's you got to deal with it quickly, seriously, and

102
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: canvas the whole thing. They are canvassing this thing. It's impressive. Yeah,

103
00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,480
Speaker 1: And I got to say, but they were mind. I'm like,

104
00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:01,000
Speaker 1: this is like it. You guys are like the FBI.

105
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,560
Speaker 1: It's like they're searching for a bug. Yeah, you know,

106
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 1: you gotta track it down. Yeah, So good luck to them.

107
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:08,200
Speaker 1: That was the highlight of her. I hope they are successful.

108
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: Like a warning, we lead a glamorous lightly. It was

109
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: not quite The real highlight was because it came down.

110
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: You got them to fix your printer. We think, well,

111
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: I did get the document printed out that I needed

112
00:06:21,440 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: because my printer is well, here's the thing. So I

113
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 1: recently received this fine new laptop here, which is great.

114
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: I love it. The problem is the software on here

115
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,400
Speaker 1: doesn't talk to my stone age printer. So I so I,

116
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,719
Speaker 1: you know, I try to troubleshoot stuff. I don't just

117
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,839
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call I team and say

118
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,160
Speaker 1: help me. Stuff's like let me, you know, let me

119
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 1: troubleshoot this and see what I can do. And so

120
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,720
Speaker 1: I get to the point where I refresh the settings

121
00:06:51,760 --> 00:06:55,000
Speaker 1: where I'm trying to you know, fine new printer, you know,

122
00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: So I do that because it's a new laptop hooked

123
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: up to my old printer and it's searching. Un can't

124
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: find it. So now I'm going so it's like I

125
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: can't find my printer. Oh, let's click on that, and

126
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 1: then I pick and it gives me a list, you know,

127
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 1: of the printer companies, and then you know, is your

128
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 1: model this model? Yeah? Yeah, Well I go all the

129
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: way down the list. It skips over my model. Mind's

130
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: like a Phaser six thousand, twenty two. So it's six

131
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: zero two two and I go down and there's the

132
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 1: list of Phaser six thousand b Okay, we must be

133
00:07:30,160 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: next here in the order, Phaser sixty four hundred. Son

134
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 1: of a gun. They jumped right over. They leap frog

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: right over my damn printer. Is Yeah, I'm worried that

136
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: it's in the eyes of of the tech guru's an

137
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: extinct entity because it works great. I love it, but

138
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 1: I whether continue to get any but yeah, it doesn't.

139
00:07:54,120 --> 00:07:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm not picky, man, I'm not though I got it.

140
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,680
Speaker 1: I know we print that much because everything we don't

141
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: we do a lot more on screen. But there's a

142
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,200
Speaker 1: couple of things that if I just want to keep

143
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 1: at the ready in a file. Yeah, like I kind

144
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: of want that, like a couple of things. I've been

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 1: right there. This has been printed for you know, forever,

146
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: but you know it is what it is. Yeah, let's

147
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: get to some NFL news and notes. We saw yet

148
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 1: another report on how this Deshaun Watson suspension may shake out.

149
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:35,760
Speaker 1: As we mentioned on yesterday's show, independent arbitrator Sue Robinson

150
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:40,959
Speaker 1: as yet to render a decision in terms of what

151
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:44,119
Speaker 1: Watson could potentially face in the way of a suspension.

152
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: There are rumors that she is waiting on that to

153
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: allow the NFLPA in the NFL to meet again and

154
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: try to reach a settlement, and someone is I think,

155
00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: as Pro Football Talk was reporting today that Deshaun Watson's

156
00:08:57,480 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: intent to sue if he doesn't like the decison maybe

157
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:07,719
Speaker 1: rendered moot because it's being put out there now. The

158
00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: range of punishment for Deshaun Watson may only be two

159
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: to eight games. Okay, I can't I can't see that

160
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: sitting well with anybody. Two games except for Deshaun Watson,

161
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: of course, come on, two games. That's that's crazy to me.

162
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:36,440
Speaker 1: Here's the problem, and all this stuff is is it's

163
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,360
Speaker 1: weird now because all the stuff like you can go

164
00:09:38,400 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 1: back and look at Owners, and you can look at

165
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 1: all the back to Aaron Hernandez, who is you know,

166
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,000
Speaker 1: you know all that stuff he went through, and and

167
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,760
Speaker 1: other guys who have gone through this all the way

168
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,080
Speaker 1: back to Ray Rice and guys I mentioned the whole

169
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: history of the league. Here's the problem. None of the

170
00:09:54,520 --> 00:09:57,439
Speaker 1: games suspensions that any of those guys got or didn't get.

171
00:09:57,520 --> 00:09:59,600
Speaker 1: And that concludes Owners I, Robert Kraft and all of

172
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:04,120
Speaker 1: those guys and everything, Tom Brady's, Equila Elliott, all these guys,

173
00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:08,560
Speaker 1: the pd PDS, the Curer, all the guys that happened

174
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: before twenty twenty don't apply to this scenario because it's

175
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:19,200
Speaker 1: a brand new collective bargaining agreement. So none of the

176
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: punishments that happened or did not happen to any of

177
00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:24,200
Speaker 1: those guys have nothing to do with the punishments to

178
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:29,000
Speaker 1: these guys. It's a fresh slate, So they could they

179
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: could suspend Deshaun Watson for ten days or ten years.

180
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 1: It's all fresh and new if they so desire. I

181
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: think in the eyes of many though it's gonna looks

182
00:10:40,040 --> 00:10:44,959
Speaker 1: as extremely lenient. I agree, all of us agree, but

183
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: it always if there's yeah, I agree. The problem is

184
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,960
Speaker 1: that you can't compare what's going on with Deshaun Watson

185
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: anything else, even if there wasn't a seat new CBA,

186
00:10:57,559 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 1: because his every case is different, whether it's an owner,

187
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,360
Speaker 1: a player, a coach, a staff member, any of it.

188
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:09,599
Speaker 1: So you can't compare one to the other unless you

189
00:11:09,679 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 1: know it's unless you know it's identical in every way,

190
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 1: which you can't. It's never is. So that plus the

191
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: fact that it's a brand new agreement between the Players

192
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: Association and the union makes everything brand new. You could

193
00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:25,959
Speaker 1: have much longer suspensions under the new CBA or much

194
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,280
Speaker 1: shorter ones, but it all comes down to the arbitrator

195
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: and what she says. And there's you know, it's always

196
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:36,319
Speaker 1: in this stuff you always get I mean, goodness gracious,

197
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,839
Speaker 1: even the Supreme Courts, League and stuff out now. So

198
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a whiff of what it's going to

199
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,920
Speaker 1: be coming out so which we've been getting little bit right.

200
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,560
Speaker 1: We're getting bits and pieces of it. So we'll see,

201
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,800
Speaker 1: we'll see. But two you know, two to eight games,

202
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: who two games Are you kidding me? I don't get that. Yeah,

203
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:01,760
Speaker 1: I don't know who are we him? Defensive lineman Bobby Brown,

204
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: a second year player former fourth round pick of the

205
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: Rams in twenty twenty one, is going to be suspended

206
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: for six games for violating the NFL policy on performance

207
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,959
Speaker 1: enhancing substances. So it looks as though he will not

208
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 1: be available for Buffalo's Week one game against the Rams.

209
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Believe he started six games for them last year, or

210
00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, played at six, played at sixteen. He was,

211
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:31,400
Speaker 1: he was playing some special team snaps. He was. He

212
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: was a backups very much. But maybe maybe he could

213
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 1: have a larger role this year in light of some

214
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: of their departures along their defensive line, maybe so that

215
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: they will be without him for Week one and the

216
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 1: five games that follow I saw this the other day, Steven,

217
00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:52,760
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to make of it. You got Bills,

218
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: Stefan Diggs and Von Miller trying to recruit Pro Bowl

219
00:12:56,480 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 1: cornerback Joe Hayden to Buffalo, according to reports, So take

220
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:06,880
Speaker 1: it for what it's worth. As we've discussed, the Bills

221
00:13:06,920 --> 00:13:08,839
Speaker 1: don't have a ton of money to work with, not

222
00:13:08,960 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 1: that Joe Hayden would come at a steve price. He's

223
00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: pretty advanced in his career. And when you say Joe Hayden,

224
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm immediately thinking one year deal, right, I mean, like,

225
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: what is he an eleven or two? Here's the problem,

226
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: you might muddy the waters, right, Yeah, you're gonna give

227
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,600
Speaker 1: Joe Hayden money for one year deal of a position

228
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,960
Speaker 1: where you've already bolstered your roster and have a lot

229
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: of young talent. You're kind of your neck deep and

230
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:39,080
Speaker 1: pretty good people, and you're gonna let Mike Jordan Poyer

231
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: sit there with no contract. Yeah, I don't know if that.

232
00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't know if I get a lot. That is

233
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: a that is a fine line for personnel executives to walk,

234
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,760
Speaker 1: isn't it. Because you want to believe that the young

235
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: guys you have in the pipeline are gonna make it

236
00:13:54,679 --> 00:13:57,439
Speaker 1: and be productive players for you. But in order to

237
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: ensure that, you have to give them reps on the field,

238
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,599
Speaker 1: both in practice and in some cases in games. You know,

239
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: throw them in the deep end of the pool and

240
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:09,479
Speaker 1: see if they swim. And there are some personnel executives

241
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: that say, yeah, that's all fine and good, but I

242
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 1: want to backup plan or I want insurance in case

243
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:18,199
Speaker 1: that doesn't come to fruition. If I'm Brandon Bean, I

244
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:21,480
Speaker 1: would be inclined to give the reps to the young

245
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:25,960
Speaker 1: players because of the strong player development that this team

246
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 1: has had at the coaching level for the last five years.

247
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: That's Sean McDermot, not Brandon Bean. But I get you

248
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 1: the points made. You gotta get those guys ready. Joe

249
00:14:35,160 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: Hayden will be He'll be there in a month if

250
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: you need him conceivably. I mean, I'm sure somebody else

251
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: could sign him if they have a rash of injuries

252
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: at the position. But sure of that, you know. That's

253
00:14:47,880 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: just here's the thing. Are there more urgent questions to answer?

254
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 1: I mean, would you would you rather make Jordan Poor

255
00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,440
Speaker 1: You're happy and give Joe Hayden's money to Jordan Poor,

256
00:14:57,640 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: or make him and get put that away, Put that

257
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: to be and take your chances with Tradevious White, Kyrie Elam,

258
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: cam Lewis, Dane Jackson, cam Lewis, Tarren Johnson, which is

259
00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: a good group of guys. And to throw Joe Hayden

260
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: on there, and I don't know that Joe Hayden at

261
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,440
Speaker 1: this point of his career could bust into the top four. No,

262
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. I like Joe. Yeah, and

263
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,080
Speaker 1: he's long's in the two. He's a good dude too.

264
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 1: I've I've I covered him when I was a CBS

265
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 1: had him and watched him play. He's he's well liked,

266
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 1: great pro, had a great career, all of that. But

267
00:15:34,680 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: at this point he's close to the end. I don't

268
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 1: know that he helps you. I don't know that he

269
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:46,160
Speaker 1: helps you. So yeah, I'm I'm kind of I'm along

270
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 1: the lines of no, I'm that you're right. I think

271
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: you're right. That's a perfect way to put I think

272
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,880
Speaker 1: it muddies the waters. Yeah. The as we mentioned yesterday,

273
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,640
Speaker 1: the Bills and the Raiders were the first two teams

274
00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 1: they have their rookies report to training camp. Today there

275
00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:08,000
Speaker 1: are eight more teams doing the same Falcons, Ravens, Chargers, Dolphins, Patriots, Saints, Giants,

276
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,000
Speaker 1: and Jets. So the entire AFC East is up and

277
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: running now and Giants first year GM Joe Shane, former

278
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: assistant GM of the Bills, said he's going to be

279
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: a nervous wreck when practices kickoff on July twenty seventh.

280
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: He is holding his breath and hoping no major injuries

281
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: pop up. The reason why he says it's stressful is

282
00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: because he knows there are ninety guys on thirty two

283
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,560
Speaker 1: rosters and there's only so many players out there at

284
00:16:35,640 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: each position that can still function in a camp. He said,

285
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: it's always the most stressful time of the year for him,

286
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: so because you gotta have enough bodies to practice effectively.

287
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 1: You want enough competition where guys are working their hardest,

288
00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: and if you have a few injuries, that balance can

289
00:16:54,920 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: get thrown out of whack sometimes, Right, But it was interesting,

290
00:17:00,760 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: Joe said, We've got a really good sports science department,

291
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,639
Speaker 1: medical department, and they've been working closely with Brian Dabele

292
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,720
Speaker 1: on the practice schedules. Right, I think we have a

293
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: good plan in place. I wonder where that play came. Yeah, exactly.

294
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: It's interesting too because you talk about the AFC East,

295
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: all four teams now up and running an in camp

296
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,920
Speaker 1: and up and at it. We've got Eric Edholme from

297
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,600
Speaker 1: UM He's formerly of Yahoo Sports. He's been covering the

298
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:24,320
Speaker 1: NFL for twenty years. He's coming on. He wrote a

299
00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: nice article about dot com on NFL dot Com about

300
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 1: the AFC East and all the storylines of all four

301
00:17:30,359 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: of the teams in the in the division, Bill's Patriots, Dolphins, Jets,

302
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: all of them. Marine camp Eric Edholme is going to

303
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:40,439
Speaker 1: come on and speak to us at the two o'clock

304
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,800
Speaker 1: hour Second Hours show. He's gonna come on and we'll

305
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,080
Speaker 1: go through those storylines of them of the Bill's Division opponents.

306
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:48,720
Speaker 1: So that'll be good. And now that all those teams

307
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,040
Speaker 1: are full speed ahead, it'll be fun to talk about

308
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:56,080
Speaker 1: the other three teams. Speaking of AFC East opponents, Emmanuel

309
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 1: Ogba was quoted by NFL dot Com and and or

310
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:05,359
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for Aaron Wilson the Pro Football Network. He said,

311
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: the Dolphins defense is going to build on its hot

312
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:11,080
Speaker 1: finish to twenty twenty one. As I remember, they want

313
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: eight of their last nine games after a horrible start

314
00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,679
Speaker 1: in which they started one in five. They didn't make

315
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but they won eight or the last nine games,

316
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 1: he says. Emmanuel Ogba said of the Dolphins defense, the

317
00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:26,119
Speaker 1: defense for sure can be scary this year because we

318
00:18:26,200 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 1: all know each other, we all know what each other

319
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: are capable of, our strengths and weaknesses. We're all going

320
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: to help each other compete it's an exciting time for

321
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: the defense. You shouldn't sleep, but we're just going to

322
00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:39,639
Speaker 1: do our job. You can keep sleeping on us, but

323
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:43,000
Speaker 1: we're just going to keep handling our responsibilities. He also

324
00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: specifically mentioned second year pass rusher Jalen Phillips. He said,

325
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: Jalen surprised me this offseason. He has the mentality. I'm

326
00:18:52,600 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: excited to see his growth this year. I'm excited to

327
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,920
Speaker 1: see him work. And we've got Melvin Ingram here too.

328
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:00,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited for him to be a part of the team.

329
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: They have some pass rushers and I'm just gonna say this,

330
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 1: Jaalen Phillips very quietly accumulated eight and a half sacks

331
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:10,560
Speaker 1: down the stretch last season. It all kind of clicked

332
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 1: for him, right, And I think he's going to be

333
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,359
Speaker 1: a Jason Taylor type pass rusher for the Dolphins for

334
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:22,879
Speaker 1: a long time. He's got that similar frame and he inexplicably.

335
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: They were dropping him into coverage, lining him up at

336
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: outside linebacker in a three four set and it just

337
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: was not working. They finally just stuck him up on

338
00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:32,480
Speaker 1: the line for the second half of the season and

339
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,160
Speaker 1: he was wrecking people. Yeah, they were and Bills. Fans

340
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,680
Speaker 1: didn't see that because the Bills were done with the

341
00:19:38,760 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: Dolphins by the middle of the year, right, they didn't

342
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,920
Speaker 1: see how that team finished. We had it was obvious

343
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,439
Speaker 1: that Brian Floor as a head coach last year, they

344
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,400
Speaker 1: were trying, they were experimenting, trying to find exactly who

345
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 1: they were defensively and with their new personnel. Jaylen Phillips,

346
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: who remember, is also the guy that was picked right

347
00:19:57,080 --> 00:20:00,280
Speaker 1: around or was right there with Greg Russou and last

348
00:20:00,359 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: year's draft, both those guys he went in the teams right,

349
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,600
Speaker 1: I think it was pick eighteen or twenty one somewhere

350
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: around there. Rousseau was thirtieth, right, Yeah, and Jayleen Phillips

351
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,680
Speaker 1: probably went higher in the draft because he played in

352
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 1: twenty Yeah, he played last season for the for the

353
00:20:17,160 --> 00:20:21,680
Speaker 1: U Greg Rousseau sat out. He took Rousseau's number. Yeah,

354
00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: they had the same number. You watch film on them

355
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: and they wear the same number for the same college team. Um.

356
00:20:28,119 --> 00:20:33,760
Speaker 1: Obviously Greg Rousseau was in twenty twenty and Phillips was

357
00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. But it was really weird because

358
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: they both got drafted after wearing the same number and

359
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 1: their last college foot game film was same team with

360
00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: the same name. Anyway, those two guys are really closely tied,

361
00:20:48,320 --> 00:20:51,199
Speaker 1: I think because the Bills. Although the Bills didn't get

362
00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 1: a chance to pick Jalen Phillips, don't know if he

363
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 1: would have been their guy. Both those guys are off

364
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 1: to good starts in their careers and it's going to

365
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:58,960
Speaker 1: be interesting to see. They're gonna be looking at each

366
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,120
Speaker 1: other for a long time across the line of scrim

367
00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: across the side. And here's the interesting thing about the

368
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:09,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins defense. It may very well need to carry them

369
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 1: through the early part of the season because that is

370
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 1: the one element of the Dolphins that is not new. Yes,

371
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: they have a new head coach and Mike McDaniel who

372
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:20,640
Speaker 1: came over from San Francisco, so the offensive scheme will

373
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: be new, but he retained Dolphins defensive coordinator Josh Boyer,

374
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: who worked under Brian Flores, so the defense is the

375
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,840
Speaker 1: same scheme wise, and to a large degree, personnel wise.

376
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,879
Speaker 1: I think they have nine of eleven starters returning from

377
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 1: last year's squad, and it was a squad that finished

378
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: the year on a tear, so they're gonna see them

379
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: in Week three. The Bills. So right, be interesting to

380
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,240
Speaker 1: see how good that defense looks in the early part

381
00:21:49,280 --> 00:21:52,600
Speaker 1: of the season, knowing the continuity that they finally seem

382
00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 1: to have, both in personnel and in scheme. So just

383
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:58,880
Speaker 1: something to be mindful of. Tough to get that continuity

384
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 1: is tough going with a new head coach. I know that,

385
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:04,119
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, there's a lot of carry

386
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:07,920
Speaker 1: over from a year ago when they had the same

387
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 1: cast of characters do it. But man, oh man, ever,

388
00:22:11,600 --> 00:22:14,160
Speaker 1: so much changes when you get a new staff, right,

389
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:16,639
Speaker 1: but the coordinator is the same. They kept Josh Boyers,

390
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,399
Speaker 1: so that that's a feather in their cap there on

391
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: the defensive side of the ball. Anyway, I don't know

392
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: if you saw this. Steve Justin Jefferson, wide receiver for

393
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,560
Speaker 1: the Vikings. I mean, his production alone has made him

394
00:22:27,560 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: one of the best receivers in the entire league after

395
00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:37,440
Speaker 1: just two seasons of playing. In an interview, he basically

396
00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,640
Speaker 1: said it won't belong, but it won't be long before

397
00:22:40,680 --> 00:22:43,480
Speaker 1: he's considered the very best at his position. He said,

398
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 1: right now here, I'll do the direct quote just to

399
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:51,159
Speaker 1: do him right. I'll say, after this year, I'll be

400
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,040
Speaker 1: the best receiver in the NFL. Jefferson told The Complex,

401
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,879
Speaker 1: which published the interview, I definitely have to give it

402
00:22:56,920 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 1: to Davante Adams as if now him being so easy

403
00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: and dynamic on the field, his route running is crazy,

404
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: So I definitely have to give it to him right now.

405
00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: But I'm pretty sure after this year it's going to

406
00:23:06,840 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 1: be me. Hey go you confident, young man. You good

407
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,520
Speaker 1: for you, man, that's awesome. I'm not the best yet,

408
00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: but it'll be me next year. Yeah, that's I love it. Yeah,

409
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 1: I think and I get it. I mean, the guy's confident,

410
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,800
Speaker 1: and they probably put him and they probably asked a

411
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,960
Speaker 1: pointed question where he had answered in some way, shape

412
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: or form in that regard. But I'm a I'm a

413
00:23:34,119 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: big believer and not given a cornerback anything to put

414
00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: up on the side of it, you know, a little

415
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: clip to put up on the side of his locker.

416
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: I mean, he's gonna get print that gets every corner

417
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 1: he's gonna face. You pops that right up on the

418
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,359
Speaker 1: side of their locker so they can look at and

419
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,160
Speaker 1: see what they said, you know, because you're gonna play

420
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:56,920
Speaker 1: against these guys. Yeah, And and I'll say this too.

421
00:23:57,600 --> 00:24:02,280
Speaker 1: Some people believe in Kirk Cousins. I don't, um, and

422
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 1: if you're gonna be and now they've had now we

423
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 1: got we got you know. Um, we got our guy,

424
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs from the Vikings and Kirk Cousins certainly made

425
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 1: him look good. Um, Kirk Cousins has it in him

426
00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: to throw the football for four thousand plus yards a year. Um.

427
00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 1: They have. They struggle winning games. Their defense is putrid,

428
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,359
Speaker 1: no question about it, which puts a little pressure on

429
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:31,440
Speaker 1: their offense that maybe they're not up to. Uh, but

430
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,120
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see. Um. I admire the confidence.

431
00:24:36,200 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, you're I mean, you just just

432
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 1: asking for it. Yeah, and this is a league where

433
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: you just don't ask for it. Bills will see the Vikings.

434
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:47,480
Speaker 1: You don't ask for it. Bills will see the Vikings

435
00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:49,600
Speaker 1: this season, second half of the year, first time of

436
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: the first time the Bills has seen the Vikings since

437
00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: the Josh Allen Hurdle game which was up there. This

438
00:24:56,200 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: game will be in Orchard Park and what is that

439
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 1: three six, nine, week ten, they'll play the Vikings. So yeah,

440
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,560
Speaker 1: go get him. That'll be good. Justin Jefferson and Stefan

441
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: Diggs kind of the upper echelon of the receiving talent

442
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 1: in this league. That the schedule after you get through

443
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: the Packers on week eight, it softens considerably. You go

444
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: down through the you know, the Packers, of course, and

445
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,720
Speaker 1: then you go through the rest of the NFC North,

446
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:39,800
Speaker 1: which is garbage, and then you know, you got the

447
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 1: bulk of your You've got the bulk of your division

448
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,520
Speaker 1: that the Bills have got to get through. So we'll

449
00:25:46,560 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 1: see against him. There are eleven and one the last

450
00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,399
Speaker 1: two season, that's right, and the one loss was the

451
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: forty mile Priur wins game. Yeah, so you know, I

452
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 1: we'll see. Now. I do think it's gonna be interesting.

453
00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:58,680
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask Eric headhome when he comes on, and

454
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:01,040
Speaker 1: I be interested to see what you think. We've talked that.

455
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: We talked a lot about the as we talk about

456
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,640
Speaker 1: everything about the Bills, but the AFC East, I'm hearing

457
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 1: a lot of things that people are saying. Now it's

458
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:11,520
Speaker 1: not the Patriots chasing the Bills, that is, it's the

459
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 1: Dolphins that are the closest thing to the Bills. Now, yeah,

460
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,479
Speaker 1: I would agree with that, and I might. I think

461
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:18,359
Speaker 1: I would because of their defense and because of the

462
00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:22,600
Speaker 1: offensive weapons that they put in place. Waddle is their

463
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:27,199
Speaker 1: slot receiver, and they've got Tyreek, they've got Kiseki. Uh.

464
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:32,280
Speaker 1: Their offensive lines should be better, much better. It's not

465
00:26:32,440 --> 00:26:35,159
Speaker 1: saying much that it's a little better. They're gonna be

466
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: much better. Um, there's a lot to be optimistic about

467
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:44,119
Speaker 1: in Miami if you're down there. Yeah, so I agree.

468
00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:48,439
Speaker 1: And you look at the Patriots, they haven't done much.

469
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:52,320
Speaker 1: If they haven't done much, I'm that their first round

470
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:57,159
Speaker 1: pick is still a puzzler to me. I get it.

471
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: The guy may turn out to be a great player,

472
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 1: but with the Pillayers that were a lable on the

473
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: board at that time, and you take that guy who

474
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 1: you probably could have gotten way later, you know, I

475
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,480
Speaker 1: just it's puzzling to me. Well, I'm not crying for him.

476
00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: I'm not either. I'm not either. But the point, the

477
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:17,680
Speaker 1: point is, I think the Dolphins are the team that

478
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 1: you're looking over your if you're the Bills, you'd look

479
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: over your shoulder. They're the ones you see you don't

480
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,000
Speaker 1: see the Patriots. And even the Patriots were playoff team

481
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:29,399
Speaker 1: last year with a rookie quarterback. Yeah, so okay, but

482
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:33,440
Speaker 1: they're changing offensive coordinators play callers. There's gonna be some

483
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,120
Speaker 1: a little bit of adjustment there. I would think, oh yeah,

484
00:27:37,520 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 1: Mac Jones probably will be better this year mentally at least,

485
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,960
Speaker 1: So we'll see. Yeah, we will talk more about the

486
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:48,480
Speaker 1: AFCAS than our number two when we have Eric Headholme

487
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: from NFL dot Com joining us. We mentioned yesterday on

488
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 1: the show priorities for you to assess. We're taking that

489
00:27:56,640 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 1: in a similar direction today. Consider Bills training camp. What

490
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:07,600
Speaker 1: is the priority during Bills training camp? Is it a

491
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: OH line cohesion, b defensive line production see defensive back

492
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:20,480
Speaker 1: questions getting answered Trey White, Kayer Elam, Jordan Poyer or

493
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:24,360
Speaker 1: is it d the Ken Dorsey effect on the offense?

494
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:29,440
Speaker 1: Give us the priority for Bills training camp? Which one

495
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: of those has to be settled and addressed during training camp?

496
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,040
Speaker 1: Eight oh three, five fifty one, eight five fifty two,

497
00:28:39,120 --> 00:28:40,960
Speaker 1: five fifty the number to get on board or you

498
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,360
Speaker 1: can hit us up on the tweet sheet at one

499
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:48,040
Speaker 1: Bills Live. Do you, Steve have one that sticks out

500
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,280
Speaker 1: for you here like we priority for you. We talked

501
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: about the dB questions yesterdays. White coming back from injury,

502
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: Kaylee Elam stepping up as a first round draft because

503
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be ready to plug and play. And Jordan

504
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:03,320
Speaker 1: Poyer contract situation, UM D line production. You got all

505
00:29:03,360 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: these guys coming back, a brand new cat, a lot

506
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,080
Speaker 1: of guys that are new back. Even some of them

507
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: are coming back, but they're all new this year to

508
00:29:10,120 --> 00:29:14,120
Speaker 1: the Bills, UM in a time when you really need

509
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: them to step up. UM. And you got some new

510
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: offensive linemen, and you'd love to be able to hand

511
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 1: the football off a little bit more this year when

512
00:29:21,800 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: you want to rather than when you really have to.

513
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 1: You'd like the ability to close out games with a

514
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 1: running game. UM, and of course to protect Josh. So

515
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:35,000
Speaker 1: there's a lot of a lot going on. But I

516
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: think I think the question marks that Ken Dorsey bring

517
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: to the table is I think is the most important.

518
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: The rest of those the defensive line, the defensive backs,

519
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,760
Speaker 1: I think you know there. I think, yes, there are

520
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,760
Speaker 1: some questions there, but the questions aren't catastrophically you know

521
00:29:50,760 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: what I mean, They're not. There's no catastrophic nose there. UM.

522
00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: The offensive line, I'm you know, with with their new

523
00:29:59,560 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: offensive line coach Kromer, I got confidence in all those things.

524
00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey is a huge unknown now he's there's no

525
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 1: reason to believe he's gonna come in and flop. I

526
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:15,080
Speaker 1: don't believe that's gonna happen. How good can they be?

527
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: I don't know. How do you get better from where

528
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: they were at the end of this last year. They

529
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: put together two almost perfect football games back to back

530
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: against playoff football teams in the NFL. That's hard to

531
00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,720
Speaker 1: take a step forward from there. And I'll tell you

532
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: this too, I don't want the guys coming out here

533
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:36,080
Speaker 1: we're scoring fifty five points a game in the first

534
00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: month of the season either, because then you got to

535
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: do that for thirteen more week. It's a long season.

536
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 1: I think you want a crescendo. You know, it's a

537
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,160
Speaker 1: long season, and I'm so I don't want to get

538
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:48,239
Speaker 1: you know, I don't. It'd be great if they did

539
00:30:48,360 --> 00:30:50,720
Speaker 1: fifty five. You know, nobody's gonna be complaining. But it's like,

540
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 1: I don't know if you can keep that up. It's

541
00:30:53,440 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 1: just unhumanly possible. It's not humanly possible to think they

542
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:01,880
Speaker 1: can do that for four straight months that I'll get

543
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 1: to this on the other side, because I think one

544
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: of these choices, I don't know if it can happen

545
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: during training camp where we'll have a definitive answer, and

546
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,800
Speaker 1: because of that, I've lopped it off the list. I'll

547
00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 1: tell you which one that is, along with my choice

548
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,720
Speaker 1: for the top priority during Bills training camp when we return,

549
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: along with your comments on the tweet sheet. You're on

550
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:25,479
Speaker 1: One Bill's Line, presented by Collid to Health. It's Buffalo

551
00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bill's Live.

552
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:44,120
Speaker 1: Chris Brown Steve to ask you, with you and topic

553
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: at hand today, what's the priority during Bills training camp?

554
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 1: Your choices O, line cohesion, D, line production, defensive back

555
00:31:52,520 --> 00:31:56,320
Speaker 1: questions answered, or the Ken Dorsey effect on the offense?

556
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 1: What is the priority for you that has to be

557
00:31:59,880 --> 00:32:03,680
Speaker 1: addressed during Bill's training camp eight O three oh five

558
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:06,880
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

559
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:10,160
Speaker 1: for as I said before the break, to me, I

560
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,280
Speaker 1: think one has to get lopped off the list because

561
00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:15,160
Speaker 1: I don't know that you'll have a definitive answer as

562
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,680
Speaker 1: to whether it's been addressed by the time training camps over.

563
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: And that's the Ken Dorsey effect. I think that's only

564
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,960
Speaker 1: going to be known when we see him performing a

565
00:32:23,040 --> 00:32:26,360
Speaker 1: few preseason games. Well, you know what I'm saying, like, Yeah,

566
00:32:26,480 --> 00:32:28,560
Speaker 1: the true effect of who he is is what he

567
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:31,200
Speaker 1: does as a play caller. Yes, the installs are important

568
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,520
Speaker 1: in camp. Yes, leading this offense as a new coordinator

569
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:38,040
Speaker 1: is important, through the practice sessions, through the film reviews,

570
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. The proof is going to be

571
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 1: in how is he calling a game? That's where the

572
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:46,000
Speaker 1: biggest question lies. And I don't know that we're going

573
00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: to get a sense of that until we get through

574
00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: the preseason. So for me, I'm going to kind of

575
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,160
Speaker 1: whittle it down to the three and I'll talk about

576
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 1: which when I think the type top priority is in

577
00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 1: a second. But we have to go to the phones

578
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: at eight O three fifty two five fifty open line

579
00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 1: for you there if you want to jump on as well.

580
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:09,240
Speaker 1: But we go to Brian on a cell next. Brian,

581
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,960
Speaker 1: what do you have for us? You're on one Bill's Live. Hey,

582
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: good afternoon, fellas. How you guys doing good? Hey? For me? Well,

583
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 1: I think the easy answer would cut would kind of

584
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,160
Speaker 1: be the Ken Dorsey effect. But I'm gonna going with

585
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:27,520
Speaker 1: the other route with the defensive line production, mainly because

586
00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 1: it's been a it's been a thorn in the Bill's side,

587
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 1: it seemed like for the past four or five years,

588
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,480
Speaker 1: with just consistency on making big time plays. I can't

589
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: remember the last game where where a play was made

590
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 1: by the defensive line that actually closed the game out um,

591
00:33:44,920 --> 00:33:48,400
Speaker 1: And I think with more production from the defensive line,

592
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:51,480
Speaker 1: I think that will give us obviously better answers on

593
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: it will have a trickle effect on our linebackers. We

594
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,760
Speaker 1: see Matt Milano make a lot of plays. But I

595
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 1: think it also help answer a lot of questions with

596
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,040
Speaker 1: Tremaine Edmonds that people have, even though I feel like

597
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: he's a great player, but I feel like he can

598
00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:08,960
Speaker 1: be an excellent player if that defensive line um can

599
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:13,160
Speaker 1: live up to the expectations for this year. So that's

600
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: that's my number one priority. Than the Ken Dorsey would

601
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: be my second. I'm not overly concerned with that, just

602
00:34:20,800 --> 00:34:24,040
Speaker 1: due to the fact that I really think you that

603
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: you wouldn't know what you're doing if, like, if you

604
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 1: messed up an offense like like the ones that the

605
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: Bills have, I feel like that would be pretty hard

606
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,799
Speaker 1: to kind of kind of a lack of a better term.

607
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Uh So, But like you said, Chris, you know that

608
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 1: has to be has to be uh figured out during

609
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,799
Speaker 1: the season. But for me, it's the defensive line. Yeah,

610
00:34:43,920 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: all right, good call, Brian, Yeah, thank you for it.

611
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: You're right, Brian. And I tell you, Brownie makes a

612
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,680
Speaker 1: good point right before Brian gave us his which is

613
00:34:51,800 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: a good point as well, the Dorsey thing and the

614
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: effect he's going to have on the offense if if

615
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,919
Speaker 1: by all accounts he's a really smart dude. We ain't

616
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:04,879
Speaker 1: gonna know anything at the end of training camp, right,

617
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,799
Speaker 1: not even at the end of the preseason games. It's

618
00:35:06,800 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: gonna be dive, get a peek, dive, left dive, right,

619
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, because he's gonna be vanilla right right, I know.

620
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:16,920
Speaker 1: And we're not gonna know what his effect is going

621
00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:18,920
Speaker 1: to be on this offense until a month end of

622
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:23,480
Speaker 1: the season, right, We're it's going to take two or

623
00:35:23,560 --> 00:35:27,400
Speaker 1: three games against really good defenses to find out exactly

624
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,880
Speaker 1: what he's you know, what he's capable of. Yeah, and

625
00:35:31,000 --> 00:35:33,080
Speaker 1: Brian stole a little my thunder because I was going

626
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: to pick defensive line production for two reasons. One, as

627
00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:46,040
Speaker 1: Brian mentioned, there has not been a consistent, defining measure

628
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:51,600
Speaker 1: of production from the front four, probably since the twenty

629
00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:55,200
Speaker 1: nineteen season, when you had Jordan Phillips leading the team

630
00:35:55,239 --> 00:35:58,280
Speaker 1: in sacks with nine and a half and Shack Lawson

631
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,400
Speaker 1: leading the team or second in the team in tackles

632
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 1: for loss, and he was second in zacks as well

633
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,920
Speaker 1: with six and a half. It was only then, like

634
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:10,239
Speaker 1: I distinctly remember the Sunday night game in Pittsburgh where

635
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:13,239
Speaker 1: those guys kind of took over in the second half

636
00:36:14,640 --> 00:36:17,160
Speaker 1: defensively and locked it down. The Bills won that game

637
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,839
Speaker 1: seventeen ten. Right, I'm trying to think, I'm sure there's

638
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:24,920
Speaker 1: another game. I mean, people will point to the forty

639
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:28,480
Speaker 1: nothing shutout against Houston last year in Week four, defining

640
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,399
Speaker 1: game for the defense. Okay, and look, I'm not taking

641
00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,080
Speaker 1: anything away from the defense. They were not more in

642
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:37,280
Speaker 1: the league last year, right, But I think specifically defensive line.

643
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,920
Speaker 1: As Brian mentioned, there were times where even though they

644
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,360
Speaker 1: were the number one union in football, there were times

645
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:49,640
Speaker 1: where you'd be pretty hard pressed to say D line

646
00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 1: won the game. Today. The D line was dominant. They

647
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:54,399
Speaker 1: won the game today, They took they carried the team

648
00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,799
Speaker 1: to victory today. It didn't really happen last year. Fortunately,

649
00:36:58,880 --> 00:37:01,000
Speaker 1: in many cases, it didn't need to happen. I think

650
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,560
Speaker 1: all but one of the bills eleven victories in the

651
00:37:03,640 --> 00:37:06,560
Speaker 1: regular season were by less than one score, by one

652
00:37:06,640 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: score or less. They were blown people out by twelve

653
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 1: fourteen points every week. So for me, I just it's

654
00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:20,640
Speaker 1: because we haven't seen it in dominant fashion from the

655
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:24,919
Speaker 1: D line of late and number two. It's the fact

656
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:30,040
Speaker 1: that half of that eleven man unit is new from

657
00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 1: the previous season. So not only do you need a

658
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,800
Speaker 1: consistent measure of production to really take what was a

659
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,319
Speaker 1: number one defense to an even higher level this year,

660
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: you also have to blend more than fifty percent of

661
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 1: that talent together because it's all new now new in

662
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,520
Speaker 1: a loose sense, because as we mentioned Phillips and Laws

663
00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:56,680
Speaker 1: on our back, they've played in this defense. They know

664
00:37:56,800 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: what it's about. They're new, but the defensive line coaches

665
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,839
Speaker 1: knew from the last time they were here. So yeah,

666
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna have to be. So there's gotta be

667
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: a blend, and then that blend has to deliver production

668
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 1: on the field weekend and week out, because I think

669
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: there are gonna be times where you're gonna need that

670
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: D line to step up and carry you. Yeah, here's

671
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 1: the thing. Now, let's face it too. In the NFL,

672
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:32,319
Speaker 1: most teams with a few except with few exceptions, are

673
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:37,319
Speaker 1: identified by their offense. It's an offensive league. Scorings up.

674
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:41,319
Speaker 1: Even bad offenses throw some points on the board once

675
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:44,759
Speaker 1: in a while. It's hard to play defense the way

676
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: we've seen defense where you get You know, the Bills

677
00:38:47,320 --> 00:38:50,480
Speaker 1: last year had two shutouts in large parts that fueled

678
00:38:50,520 --> 00:38:55,799
Speaker 1: their statistical scoring. You know, abilities they threw two. They

679
00:38:55,840 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 1: threw up two shutouts in the first six weeks of

680
00:38:57,680 --> 00:39:02,239
Speaker 1: the season last year. That's huge. Um. But but it's

681
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: hard to play defense in the league now, and it's

682
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:08,480
Speaker 1: hard to assess whether your team can actually depend on

683
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: a defense in a league that won't let them play

684
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 1: good defense. I say it like that because I'm an

685
00:39:13,560 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: old guy. You know that you can't do the things

686
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,359
Speaker 1: you used to do defensively. These guys are running free,

687
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: untouchable down the field. It's hard. It's hard to play defense. Um.

688
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:30,840
Speaker 1: And but you're right. This team centers around its quarterback

689
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: in its offense, and that puts and it was the

690
00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,000
Speaker 1: same way when I played um when we were there.

691
00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,400
Speaker 1: You know that that k gun offense, it puts your

692
00:39:39,440 --> 00:39:42,719
Speaker 1: defense in a position that not very many other defenses

693
00:39:42,760 --> 00:39:46,160
Speaker 1: get put into. Meaning you got an offense that's throwing

694
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 1: up some points and you're playing against an offense that's

695
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 1: playing desperate all the time. And this just in when

696
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:53,759
Speaker 1: these teams get desperate, they do things and they come

697
00:39:53,840 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: through for it. They can make it happen once in

698
00:39:56,680 --> 00:39:59,440
Speaker 1: a while, even a even a rough even a team

699
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:02,120
Speaker 1: that's strugg when their backs against the wall, they're gonna

700
00:40:02,160 --> 00:40:03,880
Speaker 1: try things and once in a while they're gonna get

701
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: it right. You're playing a desperate bunch of guys, and

702
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: it's hard to defend guys with that attitude when they're

703
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 1: trying to keep up with Josh and Digs and all

704
00:40:12,239 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: the guys. So the Bill's defense, just like the Chiefs

705
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 1: off defense, is put into a position where they got

706
00:40:20,719 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: these teams playing at breakneck tempo that they haven't been

707
00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:27,960
Speaker 1: able to see on film that you can't prepare for it.

708
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:36,200
Speaker 1: But this is a team also who's defense has as

709
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: good as it was. Number one defense, led the league

710
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:44,640
Speaker 1: in scoring, led the league in all these categories. Fast defense.

711
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,280
Speaker 1: You're right, brownie, they're gonna win too many games defensively.

712
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 1: Last year. Yeah, they weren't required to think about. And

713
00:40:53,640 --> 00:40:55,520
Speaker 1: if you look at the first seven weeks, Steve, We've

714
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: talked about it, first seven weeks of the season. Yeah,

715
00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:01,279
Speaker 1: it's not gonna be easy. I'll put it to you

716
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: this way. The Bills have the second toughest first eight

717
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:07,359
Speaker 1: games in the NFL this year, a five eight five

718
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,479
Speaker 1: opponent winning percentage, right in the first four games. Let's

719
00:41:11,560 --> 00:41:18,439
Speaker 1: counting the Jets in that number. Right, Yeah, it's yeah,

720
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,840
Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be rough winning percentage. Last year, the

721
00:41:21,920 --> 00:41:25,600
Speaker 1: Bills threw up two shutouts in their first four games.

722
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:27,840
Speaker 1: They shut out the Dolphins thirty five nothing, and they

723
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:31,520
Speaker 1: shut out the Texans forty to nothing. And they they

724
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: then they hung forty three on Washington, who scored twenty

725
00:41:34,920 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 1: one on them, and the Steelers beat them, scoring twenty

726
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:43,680
Speaker 1: three in the first week of the season. And this team, really,

727
00:41:43,920 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: I mean you look at the games they lost. The

728
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:51,800
Speaker 1: games they lost. They could not force the New England

729
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 1: Patriots to throw the football at all in a game.

730
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,040
Speaker 1: That's where that d line production comes in. So when

731
00:41:58,080 --> 00:42:02,120
Speaker 1: your offense is struggling, defense is so good upfront that

732
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,960
Speaker 1: it renders that opposing offense. Just as I think that

733
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,600
Speaker 1: more than that game, more than any I mean, you know,

734
00:42:07,680 --> 00:42:09,720
Speaker 1: the Bills make one play in that game in the chamber.

735
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:14,279
Speaker 1: The Jacksonville game, you you've got to win at the

736
00:42:14,400 --> 00:42:16,640
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. And last year they didn't get the

737
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:19,319
Speaker 1: production out of Starlotulala that they thought they would get.

738
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:25,160
Speaker 1: They were just a little too small up front, I

739
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: thought interior. You know, edds his own player, and he

740
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:30,160
Speaker 1: is what he is. He's great, I think in a

741
00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:32,759
Speaker 1: pass rusher, better as a pass rusher than he's a

742
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:35,480
Speaker 1: run stuffer. But that's why you bring Jordan Phillips back,

743
00:42:35,520 --> 00:42:38,000
Speaker 1: and that's why you bring in Dakuan Jones and Tim Settle.

744
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,879
Speaker 1: You bring in some bodies that when you get into

745
00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:42,640
Speaker 1: a game like you did against the Patriots, they and

746
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to throw the football to move it. Yeah,

747
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,839
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here. When we come back.

748
00:42:48,920 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: Some of your thoughts on the tweet chet about what

749
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,320
Speaker 1: the priority is for the Bills during training camp, choices

750
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:55,840
Speaker 1: are there for you at one Bills Live. And also

751
00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 1: there's a bit of an issue with the Madden ratings

752
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,239
Speaker 1: and some Bills are up in arms over it. We'll

753
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: tell you who when we come back here on one

754
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,920
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

755
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: In summer, Bill's head coach Sean McDermott wants us all

756
00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:26,920
Speaker 1: thinking about sun defense. Coach is passionate about skin cancer

757
00:43:26,960 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: prevention as it runs in his family, and he takes

758
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:33,680
Speaker 1: sun protection very seriously. Most importantly, of course, is wearing sunscreen.

759
00:43:34,200 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 1: Right now, you can stop by your local wegments for

760
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:39,200
Speaker 1: all your sun protection needs. Wegmans will then donate one

761
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:43,319
Speaker 1: dollar for every Wegman's sunscreen product sold from now through

762
00:43:43,400 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: August thirty first in Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse stores. It's

763
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,480
Speaker 1: a great way to protect your family and help the

764
00:43:48,520 --> 00:43:52,200
Speaker 1: fight against skin cancer and think sun defense. Like Bill's

765
00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 1: head coach Sean McDermott, I gotta put it on man.

766
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,839
Speaker 1: I don't mess with that, especially a training camp. There's

767
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,239
Speaker 1: there's no shade out there, so I always wear a

768
00:44:03,320 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 1: hat and then whatever is not under the hat, I

769
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:10,839
Speaker 1: got it lathered on, man, because just do it. Yep,

770
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 1: it's just a smart idea. Just do it. Steve I

771
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:18,520
Speaker 1: mentioned before the break that there are a couple of

772
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:25,120
Speaker 1: Bills players who are a little ruffled. Feathers are ruffled

773
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:29,040
Speaker 1: a little bit about their maddened ratings. Yeah, as you know,

774
00:44:29,120 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: they've been coming out for this year's edition of the game,

775
00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,799
Speaker 1: and Davante Adams and Miles Garrett were plastered all over

776
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 1: social media after getting their ninety nine ratings, which are rare.

777
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: Let's just say there are some Buffalo Bills that are

778
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,160
Speaker 1: less than satisfied Steve with their maddened ratings. Chief among

779
00:44:45,239 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 1: them long snapper Read Ferguson. Ferguson was given an overall

780
00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 1: rating of thirty five. There's no love for long snappers,

781
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:59,720
Speaker 1: you know. And they also listed him as a tight

782
00:44:59,840 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 1: end end. The hill's going on here? Why do they do?

783
00:45:05,360 --> 00:45:08,840
Speaker 1: We gotta take up for Read man? Come on, I mean,

784
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:12,000
Speaker 1: at least get the guy's position right. Make it look

785
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,920
Speaker 1: like you're in the know. I mean, honest to pete

786
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:19,920
Speaker 1: tight end? Come on, that's I mean. I realize there

787
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:24,200
Speaker 1: are some long snappers who have doubled as tight ends. Sure,

788
00:45:24,320 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 1: Tray Junkin is a guy that came to mind, and

789
00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:32,399
Speaker 1: there have been others. But guys, it's twenty twenty two.

790
00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:36,239
Speaker 1: Long snappers or people too. Let's get a little respect here,

791
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,640
Speaker 1: and Read was great. He goes on social media's like

792
00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:43,040
Speaker 1: a weekend of garbage plates for anybody that's among the

793
00:45:43,160 --> 00:45:46,360
Speaker 1: maddened ratings adjusters that can fix this. I don't know

794
00:45:46,400 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 1: if they want him. I don't know if he wants

795
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:51,480
Speaker 1: him to fix his rating or his position. Listing should

796
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 1: at least be able to get that sixty overall at

797
00:45:57,560 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: thirty five. Meanwhile, Isaiah mackenzie is up in arms about

798
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: his ratings. I was looking at the rundown of his listing.

799
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,400
Speaker 1: I was trying to say, well, he listed all his numbers,

800
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: like every rating like speed, um, strength, all of those things,

801
00:46:17,160 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: and he listed all the numbers that he had, you know, jumping, injury,

802
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:24,279
Speaker 1: stamming a toughness. Toughness was like one of his lowest ratings.

803
00:46:24,320 --> 00:46:27,279
Speaker 1: It was sixty six. So he was all hot and

804
00:46:27,320 --> 00:46:31,239
Speaker 1: bothered about his ratings. Are you serious? Damn, I can't

805
00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: catch a break around here, he tweeted. So I'm I'm

806
00:46:34,640 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: guessing he's not happy with the sixty six toughness rating

807
00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:41,560
Speaker 1: because everything else is pretty good. Strength I think was

808
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:45,960
Speaker 1: low two fifty eight or something. And then yeah, toughness

809
00:46:46,040 --> 00:46:50,920
Speaker 1: was sixty six. Yeah, you know why I tell you this, right,

810
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:54,560
Speaker 1: they're serious about that they're sensitive, and rightfully, this is

811
00:46:54,719 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 1: they they react to this more than a like an

812
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 1: flammatory article from on the editorial page of the newspaper.

813
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,839
Speaker 1: You're right. I think you're right, because you know, it's

814
00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 1: hard not to take it. It's hard not to take

815
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 1: it personally. You know, they used to it. They used

816
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:15,799
Speaker 1: to not even this used to not be a thing, right,

817
00:47:15,920 --> 00:47:19,719
Speaker 1: and then as right, And then somewhere along the line

818
00:47:19,719 --> 00:47:22,360
Speaker 1: when the players started to play and get more vocal

819
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:24,719
Speaker 1: about it and stuff, they used to start squawk about it.

820
00:47:24,719 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: And they used to and then they brought it to

821
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,600
Speaker 1: the attention of the gamers, not the gamers, but the

822
00:47:29,719 --> 00:47:34,239
Speaker 1: game creators and said, you know, yo, bro, what's up,

823
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:39,120
Speaker 1: and lobby and campaign for to get their numbers adjusted.

824
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:42,200
Speaker 1: So now it's a big thing. The thing that didn't

825
00:47:42,239 --> 00:47:45,560
Speaker 1: make sense to me is Ferguson is given a thirty

826
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:50,120
Speaker 1: five overall rating, and yet they give him like high

827
00:47:50,200 --> 00:47:53,759
Speaker 1: sixties and sifty three. Yeah, So I don't know how

828
00:47:53,800 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: that works. How does that? It doesn't compute for me? Yeah,

829
00:47:57,640 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know, like it is? Is it not a

830
00:47:59,120 --> 00:48:02,520
Speaker 1: true average? It mustn't be, because I can't get thirty

831
00:48:02,560 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 1: five is an average? When all his numbers are in

832
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,160
Speaker 1: the high sixties and low seventies. I don't know how

833
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 1: they get there. I don't either, and they don't get

834
00:48:08,600 --> 00:48:11,400
Speaker 1: his position right. I mean, they come on, that's embarrassing,

835
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 1: that seems walk, that seems that's out of sorts. For me,

836
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 1: that seems wrong. So hopefully we can shed some light

837
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,640
Speaker 1: on this for the maddened ratings adjusters and they can

838
00:48:22,719 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 1: get that corrected at least reads position. I mean, come on,

839
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:30,080
Speaker 1: do better, Madden adjusters, come on, be better? All right?

840
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,520
Speaker 1: Tweet sheets, Steve, We'll get to it quickly because we

841
00:48:34,600 --> 00:48:36,400
Speaker 1: have to break here. We'll be talking with Eric Hethholme

842
00:48:36,440 --> 00:48:39,319
Speaker 1: from NFL dot com about the AFC storylines this here

843
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:44,120
Speaker 1: in just a second. What's the priority during Bill's training camp?

844
00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:46,520
Speaker 1: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

845
00:48:46,560 --> 00:48:50,360
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company the Buffalo Bills un What's the

846
00:48:50,440 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: priority during training camp? Jack says, Dorsey is number one

847
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:56,319
Speaker 1: with a bullet he takes the helm of a high

848
00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:58,600
Speaker 1: powered OZ gets to game plan and call the plays

849
00:48:58,640 --> 00:49:00,840
Speaker 1: for the first time. Here he can keep Allen in

850
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: the offense humming. Everything else will fall into place After

851
00:49:03,320 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 1: that old line is second to give Josh time and

852
00:49:06,760 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 1: spring running backs, the dbs and the d line will

853
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:12,560
Speaker 1: be fine. I get the sense that there's this false

854
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: sense of security. I shouldn't say false sense of security

855
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:17,000
Speaker 1: because they were number one in the league last year,

856
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 1: but there's this prevailing sense of security on the part

857
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,839
Speaker 1: of Bills fans, like defense was number one last year.

858
00:49:23,880 --> 00:49:25,680
Speaker 1: They're gonna be fine, and they might very well be.

859
00:49:26,040 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 1: It might be better than they I almost feel like

860
00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,320
Speaker 1: Bills fans are dismissive, like, don't worry about the defense.

861
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:33,160
Speaker 1: They were number one last year, We're good. I don't

862
00:49:33,160 --> 00:49:35,799
Speaker 1: know where you always try and climb in the head

863
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 1: of who they're you know, the fan who's talking and

864
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:43,280
Speaker 1: fans in general. Do you feel like that Leslie Fraser's

865
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,960
Speaker 1: gonna have those guys playing at a high level. He's

866
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 1: gonna scheme his way in Plus with better players up front,

867
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,840
Speaker 1: bigger players up front, with von Miller there, with the

868
00:49:49,920 --> 00:49:53,440
Speaker 1: return of Tredavious White, with George Poorer and hide back there,

869
00:49:53,560 --> 00:49:56,279
Speaker 1: a number one draft pick in kyer Elam. You got

870
00:49:56,360 --> 00:49:59,840
Speaker 1: Milano and Edmonds back in the game, and a healthier,

871
00:50:00,080 --> 00:50:03,840
Speaker 1: if not bigger, and more athletic defensive line rotation with

872
00:50:04,040 --> 00:50:07,680
Speaker 1: von Miller spearheading it, It's like, how are they going

873
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,239
Speaker 1: to be worse? And in fact even and I think

874
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,120
Speaker 1: most Bills fans would say this, I know I would.

875
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:14,080
Speaker 1: I don't care if they're statistically number one. If they

876
00:50:14,120 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 1: made more spectacular and splash plays, they could be top five.

877
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,000
Speaker 1: But if they made way more splash plays than they

878
00:50:22,040 --> 00:50:23,840
Speaker 1: did a year ago, man, oh man, they would make

879
00:50:23,880 --> 00:50:26,480
Speaker 1: a huge difference in games. Because sometimes you get in

880
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: these games and all Josh needs is an extra possession

881
00:50:29,520 --> 00:50:34,080
Speaker 1: and you get three turnovers like they did. You know,

882
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: we were talking back when in Josh's rookie season when

883
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:40,200
Speaker 1: they got put out of the playoffs. It maybe nice

884
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,120
Speaker 1: rookie season, but they got put out of the playoffs

885
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: by the Houston Texans that year. The defense was probably

886
00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:53,000
Speaker 1: statistically pretty good, but they were splash play heavy the

887
00:50:53,120 --> 00:50:56,440
Speaker 1: first half of the season. Their turnover ratio was huge

888
00:50:56,640 --> 00:50:59,200
Speaker 1: in driving their ability to get enough wins to get

889
00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 1: to the playoffs because they were only averaging nineteen points

890
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:05,359
Speaker 1: again right they were they were churning out turnovers as

891
00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:07,600
Speaker 1: a defense. That really is kind of the way I

892
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,960
Speaker 1: wish this defense would play a little bit more and

893
00:51:11,480 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 1: you know. Statistically, okay, they're number one, but I'd like

894
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: him to be more in number one in turnovers and

895
00:51:17,560 --> 00:51:21,759
Speaker 1: sacks rather than points against even you know what I mean? Oh,

896
00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:26,000
Speaker 1: I hear you break time for us here when we return,

897
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:30,280
Speaker 1: gonna talk a little AFC East storylines for the upcoming

898
00:51:30,400 --> 00:51:33,879

910
00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 1: gotta be a very exciting time for you. It is. Yeah,

911
00:52:38,280 --> 00:52:41,160
Speaker 1: My family and I are very excited and life won't

912
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: change too much as far as the day to day stuff.

913
00:52:43,480 --> 00:52:46,719
Speaker 1: But then the role I've been doing for several years

914
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:48,239
Speaker 1: of yeah, who would be very similar to what I'm

915
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: doing now, So I'm I'm excited. Couldn't ask for a

916
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 1: better situation. So let's start here because we wanted to

917
00:52:55,040 --> 00:53:00,680
Speaker 1: focus on your AFC and East training camp storylines for

918
00:53:00,880 --> 00:53:04,439
Speaker 1: the Bills, Dolphins, Jets, and Patriots. And I would say,

919
00:53:04,600 --> 00:53:07,360
Speaker 1: of the whole ball of wax here in the entire division,

920
00:53:07,440 --> 00:53:10,120
Speaker 1: the one that stands out the most to me if

921
00:53:10,160 --> 00:53:11,600
Speaker 1: you ask me to put it at the top of

922
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 1: the like, what would I put at the top of

923
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:16,320
Speaker 1: the list here for all four teams? It's Tah. I

924
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: don't know how it's anybody, but Tah. Would you agree

925
00:53:18,680 --> 00:53:23,280
Speaker 1: with that? I think he's probably the biggest wildcard factor

926
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:26,160
Speaker 1: in the division. Obviously you could argue, you know, New

927
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:31,319
Speaker 1: England Patriots offensive coordinator situations is fascinating. You know, are

928
00:53:31,400 --> 00:53:33,840
Speaker 1: the Bills a super Bowl team? That's certainly a hot debate.

929
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,520
Speaker 1: You know, the Ken Zach Wilson deliver in year two

930
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:40,560
Speaker 1: but still to me, to a Trump's everything they you know,

931
00:53:40,680 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 1: and he even goes high in the draft, as the

932
00:53:42,719 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 1: Jets took Wilson, but there's a really polarizing response to

933
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:51,319
Speaker 1: a tongue of by looa by Dolphins fans, I think

934
00:53:51,400 --> 00:53:53,359
Speaker 1: by even by people in the building or people who

935
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:55,880
Speaker 1: were in the building when they drafted him. Certainly there

936
00:53:55,960 --> 00:53:58,080
Speaker 1: was some disagreement whether it was him or Herbert who

937
00:53:58,080 --> 00:54:00,799
Speaker 1: were the best option was. And you know, with Mike

938
00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:04,880
Speaker 1: mcdale there another year removed from the hip surgery, a

939
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 1: cast of weapons. They've surrounded them with maybe a better

940
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:10,560
Speaker 1: offensive line too. Now's the time to produce. If he

941
00:54:10,640 --> 00:54:13,800
Speaker 1: doesn't do it now, I think there's they're arms with

942
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:16,799
Speaker 1: all the first round picks they could handle to find

943
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,320
Speaker 1: his replacement next year. If it doesn't doesn't happen in

944
00:54:19,400 --> 00:54:21,640
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, and it really does come down for

945
00:54:21,719 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 1: the entire franchise, I mean every they seem to have

946
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:28,040
Speaker 1: a really a deep and talented roster. Certainly the Splash

947
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,320
Speaker 1: signing and the trade for Tyreek Hill puts them in

948
00:54:31,360 --> 00:54:35,360
Speaker 1: a different level offensively with their speed. Uh. We've talked

949
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:38,040
Speaker 1: about whether Tyreek and I said it yesterday on the

950
00:54:38,080 --> 00:54:40,239
Speaker 1: show that I thought there might be a chance that

951
00:54:40,320 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill can out run to his arm and so

952
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 1: you know, there's there's some it does come down to

953
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:49,000
Speaker 1: his ability to distribute the football, get it out of

954
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:51,919
Speaker 1: the pocket quickly and see if these guys can score

955
00:54:52,040 --> 00:54:54,239
Speaker 1: enough points to you know, give their defense a chance

956
00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 1: to win it. Yeah. I think that's right. And and

957
00:54:57,440 --> 00:54:59,480
Speaker 1: yet there's also going to be the factor of even

958
00:54:59,520 --> 00:55:02,439
Speaker 1: if they're hinting, perhaps we could argue that if if

959
00:55:03,719 --> 00:55:07,480
Speaker 1: you know, Tyreek Hill's production isn't somewhat comparable to what

960
00:55:07,560 --> 00:55:09,680
Speaker 1: he was doing in Kansas City, a number of targets

961
00:55:09,719 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: he gets per game, how many you know, catches and

962
00:55:11,680 --> 00:55:15,239
Speaker 1: ret you yards and everything else, touchdowns? You know, people

963
00:55:15,239 --> 00:55:16,560
Speaker 1: are going to be going up to and say, hey,

964
00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,680
Speaker 1: are you okay with this? Are you are you happy

965
00:55:18,760 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 1: with the roles? Is there a relationship issue? We've already

966
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,279
Speaker 1: heard it, right. There was that one viral clip this

967
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:27,880
Speaker 1: summer of two a seemingly underthrowing Tyreek Hill a little bit,

968
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:31,160
Speaker 1: and everybody reacted on social media. It was a little

969
00:55:31,160 --> 00:55:34,560
Speaker 1: bit silly. But I think that that theme exists in

970
00:55:34,600 --> 00:55:37,760
Speaker 1: the background. Right, they can have a successful operation. Jalen

971
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:40,040
Speaker 1: Waddle was great as a rookie. They've got some tight

972
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: ends they like, etc. But the backfield should be better.

973
00:55:43,640 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: But you know, if Hill's production isn't strong, you know,

974
00:55:47,400 --> 00:55:50,319
Speaker 1: considering what they paid for him and what he meant

975
00:55:50,400 --> 00:55:53,880
Speaker 1: to the organization to swing that trade. You know, there

976
00:55:53,880 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: will be questions about how that relationships developing. You touched

977
00:55:57,200 --> 00:56:01,320
Speaker 1: on it already, But the coordinator situation in New England

978
00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:04,800
Speaker 1: is a fascinating one to me. There's Belichick to me,

979
00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,520
Speaker 1: seems like a very cut and dry head coach. There's

980
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: a lot of black and white and very little gray,

981
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:13,160
Speaker 1: and I'm sure there's a motive to the cryptic nature

982
00:56:13,200 --> 00:56:17,000
Speaker 1: in which he has handled this. At the same time, though,

983
00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:23,960
Speaker 1: whether it's co coordinators, whether it's Judge or Patricia, I

984
00:56:24,239 --> 00:56:28,640
Speaker 1: don't think this helps mac Jones at all, not only

985
00:56:28,760 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: because well maybe it's more cut and dry for them

986
00:56:32,120 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: on the inside than it is for us on the outside.

987
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: I would imagine it is. But still in all, it's

988
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,399
Speaker 1: the second coordinator in as many years for mac Jones,

989
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: and I think that makes it harder for him to

990
00:56:42,600 --> 00:56:48,040
Speaker 1: take the big second year step that they're hoping he will. Yeah,

991
00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 1: especially with two kidad it's who you know, been head

992
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: coaches before, have been experienced. They certainly know the expectations

993
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:57,440
Speaker 1: that Bill Belichick has and have worked with them for

994
00:56:57,600 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 1: years in different roles. Tricia largely on defense, Judge largely

995
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 1: as the special team's coach, a little bit more experience

996
00:57:05,080 --> 00:57:07,960
Speaker 1: on offense. But you know, that's a lot different, I

997
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,080
Speaker 1: think than going out there and sort of installing off

998
00:57:12,320 --> 00:57:15,919
Speaker 1: designing an offense, installing it and then also making game

999
00:57:16,360 --> 00:57:19,400
Speaker 1: play calls on game day. So yeah, all that and

1000
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,440
Speaker 1: the day to day stuff, the development. I mean, you know, quarterbacks,

1001
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: that's it. That's a unique trade, and it often takes

1002
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 1: another quarterback or somebody who has been coaching the position

1003
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:33,120
Speaker 1: for a long time to spot little things like that.

1004
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:36,600
Speaker 1: And you know, even keen defense and coordinators may not

1005
00:57:36,760 --> 00:57:39,800
Speaker 1: have quite the hands on knowledge as as somebody who's

1006
00:57:39,840 --> 00:57:42,000
Speaker 1: worked on the offensive side of the ball. We might

1007
00:57:42,040 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: be making too big a deal at this. You know,

1008
00:57:43,720 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 1: their offensive line may come back together again and they

1009
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,800
Speaker 1: may have a stout run game. And mac Jones proved

1010
00:57:48,800 --> 00:57:51,200
Speaker 1: as a rookie that you know, he could make mostly

1011
00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: sound decisions and even with some things, even swimming up

1012
00:57:54,080 --> 00:57:56,520
Speaker 1: stream a little bit at times last year. You know,

1013
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 1: he held himself well. He's supposedly in great shape. So

1014
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: they're they're a lot of reasons to think that mac

1015
00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: Jones can have a successful career and apply it this

1016
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:07,560
Speaker 1: year as well. But at the same time, this is

1017
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:10,680
Speaker 1: a very unusual setup, even for the Patriots, who most

1018
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,880
Speaker 1: definitely go against the grain in a lot of different ways. Yeah,

1019
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 1: and it struck me when this they decided they were

1020
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: not going to name an offensive coordinator. I being who

1021
00:58:20,920 --> 00:58:23,000
Speaker 1: I am and what I've seen, I just thought it

1022
00:58:23,080 --> 00:58:25,800
Speaker 1: was just a way for them to circumvent the rule

1023
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 1: that says if they're going to hire an offensive coordinator,

1024
00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:30,520
Speaker 1: they have to interview a minority candidate to do it.

1025
00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 1: And they just wanted to get They just want to

1026
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:33,880
Speaker 1: have to deal with it. They knew they would never

1027
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:39,040
Speaker 1: hire anybody outside their building. Yeah, and they just weren't

1028
00:58:39,040 --> 00:58:40,720
Speaker 1: going to go through that rigamar rule. Could it be

1029
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:44,480
Speaker 1: that simple? You know, it's possible. I don't have any

1030
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,360
Speaker 1: inside knowledge about that element of it, and I believe

1031
00:58:47,440 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: Bill of Belichick has gone without an offensive coordinator before.

1032
00:58:50,960 --> 00:58:52,640
Speaker 1: I think it. Correct me if I'm wrong. I don't

1033
00:58:52,640 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 1: know if you guys remember, but I think it was

1034
00:58:54,160 --> 00:58:56,680
Speaker 1: the year after they beat the Eagles in the Super Bowl,

1035
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:58,800
Speaker 1: so it would have been the two thousand and five season.

1036
00:58:58,880 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: I think McDaniels was promoted to I don't know head

1037
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 1: offensive Guru or some unofficial title, but he didn't have

1038
00:59:06,160 --> 00:59:09,800
Speaker 1: the OC you know, on the masthead. So you know,

1039
00:59:09,880 --> 00:59:13,640
Speaker 1: they've done things like this before, and I believe you know,

1040
00:59:13,720 --> 00:59:16,880
Speaker 1: they may not have even had a true de facto

1041
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,480
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator here ago, so everyone assumes, you know, it's

1042
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:24,680
Speaker 1: Bill Sun and you know, maybe Jared Mayo's involved somehow.

1043
00:59:25,320 --> 00:59:27,240
Speaker 1: I kind of think that's going to be the similar

1044
00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,160
Speaker 1: blueprint to what we see this year, where you know,

1045
00:59:30,360 --> 00:59:33,320
Speaker 1: maybe they're trend centers, maybe nobody else wants to attempt this.

1046
00:59:33,600 --> 00:59:36,480
Speaker 1: Maybe there is an element of the rules of the

1047
00:59:36,640 --> 00:59:38,760
Speaker 1: NFL lays out and they're they're finding a way to

1048
00:59:38,800 --> 00:59:42,560
Speaker 1: get around it somehow. But it's possible that involves factors

1049
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:45,919
Speaker 1: from all three moving on to the Jets. I don't

1050
00:59:45,960 --> 00:59:49,320
Speaker 1: think anybody's been surprised that Joe Douglas, being a former

1051
00:59:49,360 --> 00:59:52,280
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, has you know, made it a focus to

1052
00:59:52,400 --> 00:59:55,320
Speaker 1: improve that offensive line in front of Zach Wilson. But

1053
00:59:55,440 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 1: the McKay beckton thing is is it it's an issue,

1054
01:00:00,760 --> 01:00:03,680
Speaker 1: um and until McKay Beckton shows up a trim and

1055
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: spelt three sixty, uh, it's going to continue to be

1056
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:11,240
Speaker 1: an issue. So it's already been rumored out there that

1057
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 1: pant is going to be the left tackle and they'll

1058
01:00:13,560 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: see if Beckton can play right, otherwise they may just

1059
01:00:16,320 --> 01:00:18,800
Speaker 1: move on from him entirely. And you intimated the same

1060
01:00:19,520 --> 01:00:22,880
Speaker 1: in your right up on NFL dot Com. Um, how

1061
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:27,000
Speaker 1: ugly can this get? Yeah? And you know, I mean

1062
01:00:27,040 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: you have to remember Joe Douglas's first draft, you know,

1063
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,520
Speaker 1: but Kay Beckton was part of a really good offensive

1064
01:00:31,560 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: tackle class and I think they were the maybe third

1065
01:00:35,600 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: out of five teams in the top half of the

1066
01:00:37,560 --> 01:00:40,720
Speaker 1: first half and who ended up selecting offensive lineman and

1067
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:42,480
Speaker 1: so you know, they were right in the middle of

1068
01:00:42,480 --> 01:00:44,880
Speaker 1: that bunch and they felt like Beckton at that point was,

1069
01:00:45,440 --> 01:00:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, clearly the best option. So you know, this

1070
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:49,760
Speaker 1: is a little bit of an indictment of Joe and

1071
01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:53,160
Speaker 1: in his first draft there and what you know, Beckton

1072
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: looked like at times as the rookie. You know, you thought, wow,

1073
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,720
Speaker 1: this this guy could be something special, right if he

1074
01:00:57,800 --> 01:01:01,120
Speaker 1: gets his conditioning in shape and uh, you know, continues

1075
01:01:01,160 --> 01:01:02,920
Speaker 1: to grow as a player. I mean, he's got all

1076
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,960
Speaker 1: the skills, but so far it hasn't been there, and

1077
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,600
Speaker 1: you're right, the weight has been a lingering concern for

1078
01:01:07,720 --> 01:01:09,640
Speaker 1: some time. You'd expect him to show up to camp

1079
01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: ready to go, best shape of his life, all the

1080
01:01:11,880 --> 01:01:15,520
Speaker 1: other cliches, but I can't guarantee that's going to happen

1081
01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 1: based on what we know to this point. So you know,

1082
01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:21,280
Speaker 1: George Fan has been a good blue collar soldier for them.

1083
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:24,120
Speaker 1: He's he lives at the facility from what I've understand.

1084
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,760
Speaker 1: You know, they brought in another, you know, smart guy

1085
01:01:26,800 --> 01:01:29,640
Speaker 1: and a tough guy in Lake and Tomlinson with experience.

1086
01:01:30,320 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 1: You know, Ali very Tucker came in as a first

1087
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,439
Speaker 1: round pick a year ago. I think they're pretty high

1088
01:01:34,480 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 1: on him as well. So the other elements could be

1089
01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:40,360
Speaker 1: very good. But that right tackle situation, where you know

1090
01:01:40,640 --> 01:01:43,640
Speaker 1: you've got a potential fourth rounder pushing him, you may

1091
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:45,680
Speaker 1: have to shuffle things around. The last thing you want

1092
01:01:45,680 --> 01:01:49,120
Speaker 1: to do is, you know, mess up two positions to

1093
01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: try to fix one. I think that would be a

1094
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 1: mistake if they end up having to do that. But

1095
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:55,920
Speaker 1: they do have some line and with some versatility, and

1096
01:01:56,720 --> 01:01:59,640
Speaker 1: you know, trading him would require some faith that okay,

1097
01:01:59,720 --> 01:02:02,439
Speaker 1: When I only have a good starting option in place

1098
01:02:02,520 --> 01:02:04,960
Speaker 1: of him, but also somebody who can back him up

1099
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:06,840
Speaker 1: that we trust as well. One of the things we

1100
01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: noticed about the Jets they seem to nail it on

1101
01:02:09,320 --> 01:02:12,240
Speaker 1: the draft. Now, the pieces they are starting to come

1102
01:02:12,280 --> 01:02:16,200
Speaker 1: in place with the offensive line, notwithstanding Breece Hall and

1103
01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:18,640
Speaker 1: the rest of their draft picks really could if they

1104
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: can come in and contribute right away, that maybe just

1105
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: the elixir to make Zach Wilson a little something more

1106
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,080
Speaker 1: like we thought he was gonna be. Yeah, absolutely, that's

1107
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: the hope. I mean, their first four picks had to

1108
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,400
Speaker 1: be among the more you know, exciting top quartets of

1109
01:02:33,480 --> 01:02:35,440
Speaker 1: any of any team in the draft this year in

1110
01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 1: terms of filling needs, getting you know, making the most

1111
01:02:39,360 --> 01:02:41,840
Speaker 1: of the talent that's there. Jermaine Johnson a lot of

1112
01:02:41,880 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: people thought could go higher as a pass rusher. You know,

1113
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 1: you could have the debate of whether Sauce Gardner's gonna

1114
01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:49,000
Speaker 1: end up being worth the pick they took him at

1115
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 1: Corners are always a tricky lot. But you know, if

1116
01:02:52,800 --> 01:02:54,800
Speaker 1: he shines in New York, he's got the nickname, he's

1117
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,840
Speaker 1: got the game, the length and that that could be

1118
01:02:56,920 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: a really exciting match right there. And of course Hall

1119
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:02,400
Speaker 1: and and Garrett Wilson as well. I think, you know,

1120
01:03:02,680 --> 01:03:04,880
Speaker 1: they like what I saw from Michael Carter a year ago,

1121
01:03:04,960 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 1: but I think he's kind of pegged that third down

1122
01:03:07,040 --> 01:03:09,720
Speaker 1: role now. And Breest Hall, who to me looked like

1123
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,960
Speaker 1: kind of a poor man's Jonathan Taylor, if you will.

1124
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:14,880
Speaker 1: I thought he was outstanding when I watched him, my

1125
01:03:14,960 --> 01:03:18,400
Speaker 1: favorite back in last year's class. And Garrett Wilson, it

1126
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,000
Speaker 1: really grew on me the more I studied him as well.

1127
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 1: And not the biggest guy and maybe not even the fastest,

1128
01:03:24,080 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: but such a competitor. And he's I think will lend

1129
01:03:28,160 --> 01:03:30,920
Speaker 1: up in number one at some point, probably not this season,

1130
01:03:31,000 --> 01:03:33,480
Speaker 1: as they do more of a committee approach, but this

1131
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:36,640
Speaker 1: is the setup and it theoretically should give him tons

1132
01:03:36,680 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: of options, just like Zach Wilson had at BYU, where

1133
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,760
Speaker 1: he could throw to almost anybody. You know, they had

1134
01:03:41,800 --> 01:03:45,200
Speaker 1: five receivers that he went to regularly, so it kind

1135
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:47,640
Speaker 1: of mimics what he had in Provo, and they're hoping

1136
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: that that and better health in year two and just

1137
01:03:51,040 --> 01:03:55,720
Speaker 1: one more continuity should provide better results. If you had

1138
01:03:55,840 --> 01:04:00,640
Speaker 1: to put this division in order, are you putting the

1139
01:04:00,720 --> 01:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Patriots down there in the three spot behind Miami, because

1140
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: I mean, Steve and I saw a very old and

1141
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:11,880
Speaker 1: slow Patriots defense here in the playoffs last year when

1142
01:04:11,920 --> 01:04:15,920
Speaker 1: they got throttled by the Bills. And while they have

1143
01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: made some additions, none are making my eyes pop and say, oh,

1144
01:04:20,640 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 1: they got younger there, or they got faster there. I

1145
01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:29,000
Speaker 1: just don't see the necessary improvements from the Patriots to

1146
01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:33,080
Speaker 1: feel remotely confident that their defense will be better. So

1147
01:04:33,280 --> 01:04:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm inclined to kind of put the Dolphins right behind

1148
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,440
Speaker 1: the Bills in this division and drop New England to

1149
01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:41,200
Speaker 1: the three spot. Yeah, I think you're going to see

1150
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 1: a lot of that. I think a lot of people

1151
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,720
Speaker 1: are gonna say, Okay, you know, we like Mike mcdale.

1152
01:04:45,760 --> 01:04:47,800
Speaker 1: We think two is can at least be competent. And

1153
01:04:48,240 --> 01:04:50,320
Speaker 1: you know, they've been adding pieces through the draft for

1154
01:04:50,920 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: three years now plus and you know, doing a good

1155
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:56,800
Speaker 1: job of replenishing some of the talent hasn't been perfect.

1156
01:04:56,880 --> 01:04:58,400
Speaker 1: But I think you'll see a lot of people put

1157
01:04:58,440 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 1: them ahead. In New England, who had a very strange offseason.

1158
01:05:02,080 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 1: Not to use the pun with their first round pick,

1159
01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 1: Cole strange, but you know a lot of their moves

1160
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:10,040
Speaker 1: really did throw people off this year between the coordinator stuff,

1161
01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:12,480
Speaker 1: you know, the second round pick Taekwon forward and a

1162
01:05:12,560 --> 01:05:14,880
Speaker 1: lot of people thought, you know, maybe closer to the

1163
01:05:14,960 --> 01:05:17,160
Speaker 1: back end of the top one hundred, not somebody in

1164
01:05:17,200 --> 01:05:19,920
Speaker 1: the top fifty like that. You know, they're counting on

1165
01:05:20,080 --> 01:05:23,440
Speaker 1: strange playing right away. They're counting on somebody stepping up

1166
01:05:23,480 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 1: at left tackle, you know, whether it's Trent Brown moving over,

1167
01:05:26,840 --> 01:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah Wind coming back. And you know they're counting on

1168
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 1: Christian Barmore being devastating force and those linebackers being better,

1169
01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: and like you said, just the overall speed and not

1170
01:05:36,760 --> 01:05:39,600
Speaker 1: just the playoff game. I thought the second Bills game

1171
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 1: as well too, that was the first indication that, Okay,

1172
01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,600
Speaker 1: they may be having they may be having a very

1173
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:47,280
Speaker 1: strong year defensively by the rankings and by the numbers,

1174
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: but that speed is going to come back to bite them,

1175
01:05:49,760 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 1: and it most certainly did on that night game up

1176
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:56,120
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. What do you think about the as you

1177
01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,240
Speaker 1: see the Patriots go and what is going, they just

1178
01:06:00,320 --> 01:06:02,440
Speaker 1: seem to be going in the wrong direction. Even on

1179
01:06:02,520 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 1: the draft. They've always done things that to march their

1180
01:06:06,320 --> 01:06:08,800
Speaker 1: own the beat of their own drum. Do you think, Yeah,

1181
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,080
Speaker 1: do you see them bottoming out this year. Do you

1182
01:06:13,160 --> 01:06:15,360
Speaker 1: see this as a year where they actually do take

1183
01:06:15,360 --> 01:06:17,439
Speaker 1: a step back, even with a second year quarterback who's

1184
01:06:17,440 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 1: in the same system. It strikes me as a as

1185
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 1: a team that's really trying to step back a minute

1186
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:26,959
Speaker 1: and regroup. Almost. Yeah, it was. It was a little

1187
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:29,600
Speaker 1: bit odd too, especially you know, you saw them be

1188
01:06:29,720 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: more passive and free agency this year, and you saw

1189
01:06:32,040 --> 01:06:35,040
Speaker 1: them take Bailey Zappi a quarterback in round four. You know,

1190
01:06:35,120 --> 01:06:38,560
Speaker 1: a fairly eye round four pick where you say, this

1191
01:06:38,680 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: is a team that still has holes in my opinion, right,

1192
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:42,920
Speaker 1: or at least I'm looking from the outside in and

1193
01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:46,400
Speaker 1: saying I'm a little surprised in some of these the

1194
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,040
Speaker 1: direction they're heading, and you know, just a lack of

1195
01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:52,520
Speaker 1: depth in certain spots. But you know, again, I think

1196
01:06:53,440 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 1: there's been a twenty plus year pattern of them, you know,

1197
01:06:58,240 --> 01:07:02,320
Speaker 1: either matching expectations, exceeding them, or you know, when people

1198
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:04,800
Speaker 1: are ready to drive the stake in improving people wrong

1199
01:07:04,960 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 1: and just saying we, by the way, we still have

1200
01:07:07,400 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: the best head coach on the planet in their in

1201
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:12,160
Speaker 1: their opinion, and you know, we have a young quarterback

1202
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,200
Speaker 1: in mac who we think is going to really step

1203
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:17,680
Speaker 1: up this year. You know, maybe DeVante Parker's the solution

1204
01:07:17,760 --> 01:07:21,280
Speaker 1: to the receiver needs. You know, the tight Ends might

1205
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 1: produce better than what they got out of them the

1206
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:27,040
Speaker 1: first year after paying them big money. I can't say

1207
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:29,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna gonna crash. I would really have a hard

1208
01:07:29,880 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 1: time seeing that. I think they're too well run an organization.

1209
01:07:33,480 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 1: But it's it's just outside of the box enough even

1210
01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:39,920
Speaker 1: for them for me to think that, you know, I

1211
01:07:40,040 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 1: think there may be more pass for Miami to win

1212
01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,240
Speaker 1: that second spot in the AFCs because the bills right

1213
01:07:45,280 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: now are the cream of the crop. Miami's fascinating, and

1214
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:52,320
Speaker 1: New England is probably a you know, a small notch

1215
01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 1: behind them. But in my opinion, I can't just drop

1216
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 1: them off the face of the earth or anything like that. Right,

1217
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 1: give us an idea here about the expectation you said

1218
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:05,960
Speaker 1: that the Patriots will exceed or not exceed. Do you

1219
01:08:06,120 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 1: think like last year's free agent crop, they bought the

1220
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:13,960
Speaker 1: two brought the two tight Ends in and At and Agalore.

1221
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:18,840
Speaker 1: They just didn't get the production from those guys that

1222
01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:20,479
Speaker 1: they thought they might have. They got a lot of

1223
01:08:20,520 --> 01:08:23,200
Speaker 1: money invested in them, you know, and they didn't. They did.

1224
01:08:23,320 --> 01:08:24,920
Speaker 1: They didn't have the money this year. They didn't spend

1225
01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: the money this year. Do you sense any kind of

1226
01:08:27,439 --> 01:08:29,800
Speaker 1: shift in philosophy that they've shown over the last twenty

1227
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:33,360
Speaker 1: years that this I mean, it just seems like this

1228
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:35,880
Speaker 1: year there does seem to be a different kind of

1229
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:40,000
Speaker 1: feel to what they're trying to get done in the offseason. Yeah,

1230
01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: and I think they're smart enough to know that oftentimes

1231
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:45,000
Speaker 1: when you pay for a free agent, you may not

1232
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 1: actually get the full benefit if you get it at

1233
01:08:47,920 --> 01:08:49,639
Speaker 1: all for that matter, but if you may not get

1234
01:08:49,720 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 1: the full return on investment until year two. Starting in

1235
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:55,760
Speaker 1: year two, we've seen that just kind of historically, where

1236
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:58,400
Speaker 1: you know, a high price free agent kind of bottoms

1237
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:00,719
Speaker 1: out in their first year of the new tea, the pressure,

1238
01:09:00,840 --> 01:09:03,640
Speaker 1: the money, the expectations, whatever it may be, learning a

1239
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:05,840
Speaker 1: new system, getting used to a new culture, and New

1240
01:09:05,880 --> 01:09:08,280
Speaker 1: England is most definitely a different culture than a lot

1241
01:09:08,320 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 1: of other teams. You know, That's how someone like John H.

1242
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,439
Speaker 1: Smith can can kind of get lost in the shuffle.

1243
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 1: I think he let's start with him, because they've kind

1244
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,960
Speaker 1: of eliminated that fullback position. From what I understand that

1245
01:09:20,120 --> 01:09:23,080
Speaker 1: that true slobber knocker guy that they were using the

1246
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:25,439
Speaker 1: last couple of years, and I think what they'll do

1247
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:28,720
Speaker 1: is use him, you know, more in like that kind

1248
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:32,719
Speaker 1: of you know, offset position, a little bit of an HVAC,

1249
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:35,559
Speaker 1: you know, get him on the field and throw him

1250
01:09:35,600 --> 01:09:37,360
Speaker 1: the football. I think he's gonna end up being a

1251
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,120
Speaker 1: bigger producer. I can't say the same for Nelson agil Or.

1252
01:09:40,160 --> 01:09:42,479
Speaker 1: I don't think they go out and draft tekwon Thorpess

1253
01:09:42,560 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 1: High as they did if they believed in agila Or.

1254
01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:48,920
Speaker 1: So I think it's gonna be Parker, Kendrick Bourne, Jacobe Meyers, Hunter,

1255
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:51,040
Speaker 1: Henry of course too. He was great in the red

1256
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,840
Speaker 1: zone a year ago, and then Johnny Smith will kind

1257
01:09:53,840 --> 01:09:56,040
Speaker 1: of be that that next guy on the totem pole.

1258
01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:59,680
Speaker 1: But you know, did did last year's spending scare them

1259
01:09:59,720 --> 01:10:02,920
Speaker 1: away this year? It's possible, but we've also never seen

1260
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 1: them spend two off seasons in a row. They've spent before.

1261
01:10:05,760 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 1: They've had a few years, but rarely two years in

1262
01:10:09,160 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: a row where they've gone hog wild and free agency. Eric,

1263
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:15,760
Speaker 1: thanks for the time as always, good luck getting this

1264
01:10:15,840 --> 01:10:17,519
Speaker 1: new gig off the ground. We'll be keeping an eye

1265
01:10:17,560 --> 01:10:20,760
Speaker 1: on your stuff on NFL dot Com. I appreciate. I

1266
01:10:20,800 --> 01:10:22,360
Speaker 1: think it's history. I think it's the first show I've

1267
01:10:22,400 --> 01:10:24,599
Speaker 1: done it as a member of NFL media. So we're

1268
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:26,080
Speaker 1: happy to be a part of it, not to make

1269
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:29,000
Speaker 1: too big of a deal out of it. Yeah, thanks Eric,

1270
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:31,559
Speaker 1: Thank you guys. All Right, that's Eric at home, NFL

1271
01:10:31,680 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Media analyst and writer for NFL dot Com. Just moved

1272
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:36,640
Speaker 1: over from Yahoo Sports, so check out his stuff at

1273
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:41,720
Speaker 1: NFL dot com. Moving forward, we didn't really talk too

1274
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,640
Speaker 1: much bills with him. We were kind of surveying the

1275
01:10:43,720 --> 01:10:48,360
Speaker 1: rest of the AFC East landscape. But in his write

1276
01:10:48,439 --> 01:10:53,920
Speaker 1: up on the bills, he asked if Von Miller is

1277
01:10:53,960 --> 01:10:56,760
Speaker 1: going to be able to upgrade a Bill's defense that

1278
01:10:56,920 --> 01:11:00,320
Speaker 1: was number one in the league last year, And I

1279
01:11:00,400 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 1: would argue, we ran out of time I was going

1280
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:06,040
Speaker 1: to ask him. I would argue that I think that

1281
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:09,679
Speaker 1: Hinge is less on Miller and more on the guys

1282
01:11:09,720 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 1: on the interior who are who don't come in with

1283
01:11:14,120 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 1: the same cashe as Miller. Sure, if you know what

1284
01:11:16,840 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: I'm saying. So I think their presence and their production

1285
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 1: is going to fact you're in just as heavily as

1286
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: Von because that if you have that now you have

1287
01:11:30,160 --> 01:11:35,960
Speaker 1: a complete defensive front where nobody on any given Sunday

1288
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:39,120
Speaker 1: can be given all of the opponent's attention on every

1289
01:11:39,160 --> 01:11:43,000
Speaker 1: single series. You got to spread the wealth to account

1290
01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 1: for everybody. If that happens, yeah, you got to know

1291
01:11:45,760 --> 01:11:51,719
Speaker 1: that Von Miller is rarely going to be singled, which

1292
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: you know, if that it it just becomes a math

1293
01:11:55,800 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: and numbers game. Somebody else has got to win one

1294
01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 1: on one and if Von and once in a while,

1295
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,400
Speaker 1: Von will be to double team. He's got that in

1296
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:09,200
Speaker 1: his resume. I think it's going to be fascinating to

1297
01:12:09,320 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 1: see how the perception of this defense changes from last

1298
01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:17,920
Speaker 1: year to this year. If they do come out and

1299
01:12:17,960 --> 01:12:19,600
Speaker 1: do some of the things we've been talking about and

1300
01:12:19,680 --> 01:12:23,160
Speaker 1: get some more splash plays and get some more turnovers,

1301
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:27,920
Speaker 1: get more sacks, and even if they're not in the top,

1302
01:12:28,240 --> 01:12:30,040
Speaker 1: even if they're not number one like they were a

1303
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,720
Speaker 1: year ago, but how much they'll be perceived as a

1304
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:38,320
Speaker 1: much better defense than they were a year ago. We

1305
01:12:38,479 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 1: talk about it a lot. We trumpeted the fact and

1306
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: still do that they were number one in this number one,

1307
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:44,640
Speaker 1: and that number one in this number one. In that

1308
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 1: there's like four or five six seven categories that they

1309
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,360
Speaker 1: were number one in over the course of the season

1310
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:54,320
Speaker 1: and ended up number one in the league. Nobody talks

1311
01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: about the Bill's defense, you know, and I get that

1312
01:12:57,400 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 1: with Josh in the equation for most people, I think

1313
01:13:00,760 --> 01:13:03,840
Speaker 1: you I would be interested to see if that could happen,

1314
01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:07,120
Speaker 1: that they get more splash plays and statistically in those

1315
01:13:07,200 --> 01:13:09,720
Speaker 1: statistics we're just you know, those categories that we're just

1316
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: talking about, they're ranked lower than number one, but their

1317
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,360
Speaker 1: defense is perceived as being much better than a year ago. Right.

1318
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,280
Speaker 1: I think it's really interesting to see if that could happen.

1319
01:13:21,040 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 1: It could be better. It's crazy to think they could

1320
01:13:24,200 --> 01:13:26,760
Speaker 1: be better. There's easy there's you can make an easy

1321
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 1: argument for that. I mean, I think that's what kind

1322
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: of the it goes along with the expectations of the

1323
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,920
Speaker 1: general public thing. And this is a Super Bowl team

1324
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,280
Speaker 1: headed for von Miller is just the kind of the

1325
01:13:38,240 --> 01:13:41,760
Speaker 1: the poster boy or the poster child of all the

1326
01:13:41,840 --> 01:13:44,880
Speaker 1: improvements this team has made. The bigger size up on

1327
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:47,920
Speaker 1: the interior, the more athletes up on the interior, the defense,

1328
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,640
Speaker 1: Von Miller on the outside. Greg Rousseau with another year,

1329
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,599
Speaker 1: Ajpanessa with another year, Ed Oliver with better players around

1330
01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:59,760
Speaker 1: him in the pass rush. Goodness, gracious, you got a

1331
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 1: a huge athletic corner on the other side of Tredavious White. Goodness, gracious,

1332
01:14:09,479 --> 01:14:12,040
Speaker 1: tarn Johnson one of the best slot corners in the league.

1333
01:14:14,280 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: And there's a lot to love. It's impressive just on

1334
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: that side of the ball. Forget about Steph Diggs, Josh

1335
01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:22,760
Speaker 1: Allen all that stuff, James Cook and the offensive line

1336
01:14:22,800 --> 01:14:26,120
Speaker 1: with two big steamrollers up front, now that they didn't

1337
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: have a year ago. I mean, you go on and on.

1338
01:14:31,040 --> 01:14:35,760
Speaker 1: That's I get. You know, the expectations are there. They

1339
01:14:35,840 --> 01:14:39,600
Speaker 1: earned it. It's exciting and everybody's done their part to

1340
01:14:39,640 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 1: earn it, including Brandon Bean and Sean McDermott. That's right,

1341
01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:48,360
Speaker 1: all right, you sold me. Let's tee it up man.

1342
01:14:49,400 --> 01:14:50,880

1361
01:16:05,160 --> 01:16:08,400
Speaker 1: here and waiting patiently. Is Linda on a cell? What

1362
01:16:08,479 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: do you have for us? Linda? You're on one Bill's Live. Linda,

1363
01:16:14,960 --> 01:16:19,479
Speaker 1: Are you there all right? She left us hanging. I

1364
01:16:19,560 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 1: think she did, so I'll just put her on hold

1365
01:16:21,479 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 1: in case she's still there, but we'll try her back

1366
01:16:23,960 --> 01:16:26,120
Speaker 1: in a little bit. Let's go to the tweet sheet though,

1367
01:16:26,200 --> 01:16:30,719
Speaker 1: to continue our efforts there to see what you guys

1368
01:16:30,800 --> 01:16:33,759
Speaker 1: head in mind with respect to the priority and alan

1369
01:16:33,880 --> 01:16:38,640
Speaker 1: up next and he prioritized them D, A, B, and C.

1370
01:16:39,080 --> 01:16:43,479
Speaker 1: It means it's Ken Dorsey than O line, D line

1371
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:47,000
Speaker 1: and the dbs. He says, good offense coaching with our

1372
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,920
Speaker 1: future MVPQB and O line to block for our running backs,

1373
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:53,639
Speaker 1: a defensive line to make it easier on our dbs.

1374
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:57,839
Speaker 1: While it's not one hundred percent by eating quarterbacks alive,

1375
01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:03,000
Speaker 1: it is true that the defense has had to rely

1376
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:08,559
Speaker 1: on the secondary a good deal. So that's the that's

1377
01:17:08,600 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 1: the thing. Um, yeah, it may flip this year, good

1378
01:17:14,320 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 1: the second. Yeah. They they have kind of been the

1379
01:17:17,960 --> 01:17:20,599
Speaker 1: the example of a team that relies on really good

1380
01:17:20,720 --> 01:17:24,720
Speaker 1: coverage and forces a quarterback to make bad throws or

1381
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,040
Speaker 1: to run around and to extend plays and um kind

1382
01:17:28,080 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: of go off the page in order to beat them. Um,

1383
01:17:31,880 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 1: they've got good guys back there. The safeties make all

1384
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:37,280
Speaker 1: the difference, particularly particularly when the play breaks down. That's

1385
01:17:37,320 --> 01:17:41,960
Speaker 1: when your safeties come into real focus because they, you know,

1386
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,360
Speaker 1: they're the guys that are kind of back there are

1387
01:17:43,360 --> 01:17:45,800
Speaker 1: the Roman round following the quarterback and covering up where

1388
01:17:45,840 --> 01:17:48,519
Speaker 1: the dbs are starting to you know, lose their grip

1389
01:17:48,920 --> 01:17:51,519
Speaker 1: because of the extension of the play. You know, poor

1390
01:17:51,560 --> 01:17:54,080
Speaker 1: year and hide make plays because of that. Yeah, um,

1391
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:56,560
Speaker 1: they've that This defense has been a real example of

1392
01:17:56,640 --> 01:17:59,559
Speaker 1: why coverage, you can make the argument is more important

1393
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,320
Speaker 1: than a path rush. Let's get back to the phones.

1394
01:18:02,400 --> 01:18:04,400
Speaker 1: We go to Gary on a sale next Gary, what

1395
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:08,599
Speaker 1: do you have for us? You're on one bills Live. Hey, guys, afternoon,

1396
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:12,400
Speaker 1: how's going good? Good pauling to talk about our so

1397
01:18:12,640 --> 01:18:16,680
Speaker 1: called number one ranked defense from last year. Okay, so

1398
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:20,960
Speaker 1: called I sent a doubt. Oh, there's more than a doubt.

1399
01:18:21,080 --> 01:18:23,720
Speaker 1: Come on. And on several occasions, I've heard each of

1400
01:18:23,760 --> 01:18:29,639
Speaker 1: you talk about how we faced multiple backup quarterbacks several

1401
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 1: times during the season. I went through the seventeen game

1402
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:37,759
Speaker 1: schedule and I found two legitimate quarterbacks, which was Brady

1403
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:42,360
Speaker 1: and Mahomes. And even with that being said, we still

1404
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:46,000
Speaker 1: didn't make enough splash plays throughout the course of the season.

1405
01:18:46,600 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: And then we had the stinkers. We had the game

1406
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: against the Jaguires, We had the loss at home to

1407
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: the Colts where they ran the ball down their throats.

1408
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,600
Speaker 1: I think Wentz was the quarterback on that team, and

1409
01:19:00,680 --> 01:19:04,160
Speaker 1: we'll look what happened to him later in the year. Okay.

1410
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: And then there's still even more, we had to rematch

1411
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,759
Speaker 1: with the Titans and they ran the ball down our throat. Again,

1412
01:19:10,240 --> 01:19:12,000
Speaker 1: granted we had a chance to win it at the

1413
01:19:12,120 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: end of the game, but again, with the way our

1414
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: offense was rolling, we always put the defense in a

1415
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:23,240
Speaker 1: pretty good situation for them to rack up the numbers

1416
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:26,280
Speaker 1: to get us to the number one. Yeah, but then

1417
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: Kansas City put up a forty two burger on us

1418
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:34,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, right, and there was our defense and

1419
01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,320
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had a thirty six burger put up on them.

1420
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:37,880
Speaker 1: I mean that was That was a game where the

1421
01:19:37,960 --> 01:19:40,040
Speaker 1: defense wasn't winning no matter who was on the field.

1422
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 1: And the only other game I'll disagree with you on

1423
01:19:42,439 --> 01:19:44,439
Speaker 1: Gary is the Jacksonville game. I'm not putting that one

1424
01:19:44,479 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: on the defense at all. What did that finish? Ten

1425
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:50,479
Speaker 1: to three? Yeah, I mean I'm not right. I'm not

1426
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:52,639
Speaker 1: putting that one on the defense. So I would take

1427
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:55,240
Speaker 1: that one out of the equation on the list. Yet. Yeah,

1428
01:19:55,240 --> 01:19:58,160
Speaker 1: in the Indianapolis game, look at the quarterback. It was

1429
01:19:58,200 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: a rookie quarterback with a disaster of a franchise who

1430
01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:03,599
Speaker 1: won how many games? Yeah, but I mean you hold

1431
01:20:03,640 --> 01:20:05,160
Speaker 1: a team to nine points, you went you should win

1432
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:09,200
Speaker 1: the football game. I should exactly, but I'm putting that

1433
01:20:09,240 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 1: one on the options priority. Yeah, I'll agree to disagree

1434
01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:16,960
Speaker 1: with you on that one because I'm not pinning the

1435
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:19,599
Speaker 1: Jacksonville loss on the defense. But you make a good point,

1436
01:20:19,640 --> 01:20:21,240
Speaker 1: and we've been talking about it. I think one of

1437
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:24,559
Speaker 1: the things that fueled there there's, you know, their rise

1438
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,080
Speaker 1: to the top of the rankings and the fact that

1439
01:20:26,160 --> 01:20:27,960
Speaker 1: they held the teams didn't score a lot of points

1440
01:20:27,960 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 1: on them. They had two shutouts, they had a team

1441
01:20:30,640 --> 01:20:32,680
Speaker 1: score eleven on them, a team score nine, and a

1442
01:20:32,760 --> 01:20:37,439
Speaker 1: team score six, um, you know, and another team scored ten.

1443
01:20:38,520 --> 01:20:40,479
Speaker 1: So I mean the number one in the league in

1444
01:20:40,560 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: points allowed there, And I guess when you get down

1445
01:20:42,600 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 1: to it, that's what the defense is supposed to do.

1446
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:47,320
Speaker 1: If they can keep them off the scoreboard, everything else

1447
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:51,360
Speaker 1: is gravy um. And that's what the Bills that managed

1448
01:20:51,400 --> 01:20:55,080
Speaker 1: to do last year in a passing league. They were

1449
01:20:55,200 --> 01:20:57,760
Speaker 1: number in the league against the pass. And I understand it.

1450
01:20:58,080 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: There were a lot of backup quarterbacks that or inexperienced

1451
01:21:01,040 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 1: quarterbacks that took the field against the Bills. He had

1452
01:21:03,760 --> 01:21:09,760
Speaker 1: a rookie in Zach Wilson. You had twa who was

1453
01:21:09,960 --> 01:21:13,320
Speaker 1: the full time starter for the first time in his career.

1454
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: He was split starting his rookie year. You had the

1455
01:21:18,439 --> 01:21:21,439
Speaker 1: kid down in Houston who was a rookie making his

1456
01:21:21,560 --> 01:21:23,880
Speaker 1: first Davis Mills was making his first NFL start in

1457
01:21:23,920 --> 01:21:27,280
Speaker 1: Week four against the Bills on the road in Buffalo.

1458
01:21:27,439 --> 01:21:30,519
Speaker 1: That's no easy task. And Ta got knocked out of

1459
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:34,360
Speaker 1: the first game in the first quarter and Jacoby Purset

1460
01:21:34,360 --> 01:21:36,400
Speaker 1: had to play the balance of the game. Can't playing

1461
01:21:36,439 --> 01:21:38,280
Speaker 1: the defense for that. They knocked the starter out of

1462
01:21:38,320 --> 01:21:41,519
Speaker 1: the game in the first place, and they did it early,

1463
01:21:41,720 --> 01:21:43,439
Speaker 1: and they were hitting him off and they were getting

1464
01:21:43,479 --> 01:21:47,000
Speaker 1: loose on him, and you can, I'll say that, you

1465
01:21:47,080 --> 01:21:50,559
Speaker 1: can put that on the secondary as well. That Ta

1466
01:21:50,680 --> 01:21:53,240
Speaker 1: had to pump, had to tap the ball. They were

1467
01:21:53,240 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: shutting off his first read. He couldn't get rid of

1468
01:21:55,200 --> 01:21:57,680
Speaker 1: the ball his first read and somebody was on him.

1469
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:02,280
Speaker 1: He were hit They were hitting him in the back. So, yeah,

1470
01:22:02,320 --> 01:22:05,960
Speaker 1: the defense played really well in that one and came

1471
01:22:06,040 --> 01:22:09,280
Speaker 1: up with a victory. But I get it, and I've

1472
01:22:09,479 --> 01:22:12,519
Speaker 1: there's exactly and Gary said exactly what I've been saying.

1473
01:22:12,600 --> 01:22:15,720
Speaker 1: They were really good statistically, but they were unspectacular when

1474
01:22:15,760 --> 01:22:17,560
Speaker 1: you watched him play, and I'll give him that the

1475
01:22:17,680 --> 01:22:21,760
Speaker 1: splash plays were not there in plentiful supply. I will

1476
01:22:21,800 --> 01:22:27,400
Speaker 1: absolutely give him that. It's just hard to argue when

1477
01:22:27,439 --> 01:22:29,920
Speaker 1: you have a number one defense not only in total defense,

1478
01:22:30,479 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 1: but scoring defense, third down defense, and pass defense, among

1479
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:39,080
Speaker 1: a host of other things. You know, some lesser known statistics.

1480
01:22:39,360 --> 01:22:45,840
Speaker 1: So for my money, if you can be even better

1481
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:48,879
Speaker 1: than that, fantastic, And I think there is the potential

1482
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,840
Speaker 1: for them to be better in the splash play area specifically,

1483
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,960
Speaker 1: and hopefully a lot of those splash plays are happening

1484
01:22:56,040 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: behind the line of scrimmage, because if they are, that

1485
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,360
Speaker 1: means your pass rushes at home. And if that's happening,

1486
01:23:01,720 --> 01:23:04,000
Speaker 1: that means there's probably more splash plays on the back

1487
01:23:04,120 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: end by way of hurry throws and errand passes that

1488
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,920
Speaker 1: result in interceptions going the other way right, And that's

1489
01:23:11,240 --> 01:23:13,280
Speaker 1: you know, it all plays into each other's ripple effects

1490
01:23:13,320 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: for all of this, and if you get one part

1491
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:17,400
Speaker 1: of your team that starts playing markedly better, it's going

1492
01:23:17,479 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 1: to have a ripple effect to the others as well.

1493
01:23:19,640 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: Um not only and not sometimes not in positively m

1494
01:23:23,240 --> 01:23:25,360
Speaker 1: if you can believe that, because what If your defensive

1495
01:23:25,360 --> 01:23:32,240
Speaker 1: line starts playing better the other team, the other team

1496
01:23:32,320 --> 01:23:35,760
Speaker 1: may it may force them into other play in other

1497
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:38,720
Speaker 1: areas and other game plans that you're not so prepared for.

1498
01:23:39,439 --> 01:23:41,680
Speaker 1: UM teams will do some other stuff that they do

1499
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 1: well as in order, you know, to match up with you.

1500
01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:46,720
Speaker 1: So it's not always just like if you do this,

1501
01:23:46,880 --> 01:23:49,760
Speaker 1: they can't, they have no answers. They some of them

1502
01:23:50,080 --> 01:23:55,080
Speaker 1: will have answers, so it's just everything changes. The ripple

1503
01:23:55,120 --> 01:23:57,560
Speaker 1: effect not only affects your team, where your secondary is

1504
01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,400
Speaker 1: helped out by a better pass Russian vice versa, the

1505
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 1: other team's offense is forced to do some things that

1506
01:24:04,520 --> 01:24:06,840
Speaker 1: and sometimes very successfully, that you didn't think they were

1507
01:24:06,880 --> 01:24:09,400
Speaker 1: going to do, or that you weren't prepared for. Steve

1508
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet says, I like the order the

1509
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,960
Speaker 1: way it is ABCD. It all begins up front. You

1510
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:16,040
Speaker 1: need both the O and D lines to be solid.

1511
01:24:16,120 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: To me, the old line is more important. The dB

1512
01:24:19,240 --> 01:24:21,840
Speaker 1: situation will take care of itself. If Trey is not ready,

1513
01:24:21,880 --> 01:24:24,040
Speaker 1: the next guy will step up, and Dorsey won't change

1514
01:24:24,160 --> 01:24:29,280
Speaker 1: much with seventeen as his QB. You may not. I

1515
01:24:29,360 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: don't think he's looking to change much protections are the same,

1516
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:37,439
Speaker 1: the language is the same, but his play calling will

1517
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:41,240
Speaker 1: be different because he's not Brian Dabel, He's Ken Dorsey.

1518
01:24:43,160 --> 01:24:45,400
Speaker 1: That's the thing to remember here. You know what I

1519
01:24:45,439 --> 01:24:49,479
Speaker 1: find interesting, Steve, how resolutely confident this fan base has

1520
01:24:49,520 --> 01:24:54,040
Speaker 1: become in the ability for backups to step into starting

1521
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:57,680
Speaker 1: roles and perform admirably with limited drop off. And they

1522
01:24:57,800 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: feel It's clear they feel that way about anybody that

1523
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:02,920
Speaker 1: may or may not have to step up for Trey White.

1524
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: And I understand why because last year when it had

1525
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:08,920
Speaker 1: to happen, the defense didn't miss a beat, particularly against

1526
01:25:08,960 --> 01:25:14,800
Speaker 1: the pass. Yeah, that I get it. And that's why

1527
01:25:14,880 --> 01:25:18,880
Speaker 1: this team has been so good. They've they're deep. They're

1528
01:25:18,960 --> 01:25:24,080
Speaker 1: deep in tech, in talent, and in production. I mean,

1529
01:25:24,200 --> 01:25:27,200
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson goes in, nobody knows who he is. I mean,

1530
01:25:27,360 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: he's been around for a year and stuff. He's a

1531
01:25:28,840 --> 01:25:31,439
Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick, right, and he goes in and

1532
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:36,280
Speaker 1: the defense is exactly you don't see anything differently about

1533
01:25:36,400 --> 01:25:40,639
Speaker 1: different about that defense. That's rare, it really is, because

1534
01:25:40,680 --> 01:25:43,880
Speaker 1: even even when you do that, teams teams used to

1535
01:25:43,920 --> 01:25:45,800
Speaker 1: pick on Lee by Wallson all sudden they're gonna pick

1536
01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:48,320
Speaker 1: on Dane Jack. They still can't get it done. Yeah,

1537
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:52,559
Speaker 1: you know, certainly. Now you get into the playoffs where um,

1538
01:25:53,800 --> 01:25:56,200
Speaker 1: you know, you get hung you get forty two points

1539
01:25:56,280 --> 01:26:00,640
Speaker 1: hung on you by the by the chiefs. Um. And

1540
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:03,600
Speaker 1: that after Thanksgiving when the when the Bills played the

1541
01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: the New Orleans Saints, Um, you still you know, then

1542
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:14,200
Speaker 1: you get the Saint all right, Saints game, they gave

1543
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:18,360
Speaker 1: up six, then they gave up fourteen, then they gave

1544
01:26:18,479 --> 01:26:20,719
Speaker 1: up thirty three to the Patriots. That was with Trevor

1545
01:26:20,760 --> 01:26:24,200
Speaker 1: Simmon and a quarterback from New Orleans. Fourteen against the

1546
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:28,960
Speaker 1: Panthers who couldn't score, twenty one against the Patriots, fifteen

1547
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:31,280
Speaker 1: against the Falcons, ten against the Jets. So the last,

1548
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,920
Speaker 1: you know, the last part of the schedule outside the

1549
01:26:35,160 --> 01:26:39,519
Speaker 1: you know, the Patriots twice, you got the Buccaneers, the Panthers, Falcons, Jets,

1550
01:26:39,680 --> 01:26:43,480
Speaker 1: not really and the last year's Saints with their struggles

1551
01:26:44,200 --> 01:26:46,479
Speaker 1: not really a gauntlet coming down the stretch. So your

1552
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:50,200
Speaker 1: defense was really never tested. And like Gary said the caller, um,

1553
01:26:50,280 --> 01:26:52,160
Speaker 1: I get it. There's a lot of there's a lot

1554
01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,840
Speaker 1: of ways to poke holes in the number one ranking

1555
01:26:54,880 --> 01:26:57,640
Speaker 1: the Bills defense had a year ago, and you can

1556
01:26:57,680 --> 01:27:00,200
Speaker 1: see it with the naked eye. And it all comes

1557
01:27:00,200 --> 01:27:02,280
Speaker 1: down to what Leslie Frasier has also said in this

1558
01:27:02,400 --> 01:27:05,040
Speaker 1: last offseason goes he wants more splash plays. He wants them,

1559
01:27:05,120 --> 01:27:07,000
Speaker 1: he wants them to change the game once in a while.

1560
01:27:07,560 --> 01:27:11,160
Speaker 1: I'm on a regular basis. We have to step aside

1561
01:27:11,280 --> 01:27:13,560
Speaker 1: here when we come back. Some final thoughts from you

1562
01:27:14,360 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet, and we'll be closing it up

1563
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:20,400
Speaker 1: for a Tuesday as we inch a day closer to

1564
01:27:20,560 --> 01:27:24,639
Speaker 1: the opening of training camp at Saint John Fisher this weekend.

1565
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:26,760
Speaker 1: Back in a moment here, I want Bill's live stay too,

1566
01:27:37,960 --> 01:27:40,240
Speaker 1: all right, welcome back, some final thoughts on the tweet

1567
01:27:40,280 --> 01:27:43,800
Speaker 1: sheet from you in terms of the priority you deem

1568
01:27:44,640 --> 01:27:51,160
Speaker 1: most important during Bill's training camp. Joshua went CD A

1569
01:27:51,600 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: and B, so he's looking for the defensive back questions

1570
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:59,840
Speaker 1: to be answered first and foremost. He says White's healthy return,

1571
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: along with rookie Elam getting to starter level should be

1572
01:28:02,520 --> 01:28:06,639
Speaker 1: the first priority. Next is the k D effect taking

1573
01:28:06,760 --> 01:28:10,160
Speaker 1: hold that being Ken dorsey execution in the preseason will

1574
01:28:10,240 --> 01:28:12,920
Speaker 1: help with that old line and D line rounded out

1575
01:28:13,000 --> 01:28:16,480
Speaker 1: veteran coaches and players there would make me less anxious

1576
01:28:18,720 --> 01:28:21,760
Speaker 1: on the old line and line. Yeah, veteran players. Yeah.

1577
01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:26,880
Speaker 1: Saffolds a very veteran player. D line Jordan Phillips is

1578
01:28:26,920 --> 01:28:30,479
Speaker 1: a veteran now staffs Saffold's age does worry me a

1579
01:28:30,520 --> 01:28:32,400
Speaker 1: little bit. He's got He was with the Rams when

1580
01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,360
Speaker 1: they were clear back in Saint Louis. I mean it's

1581
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 1: been a while. He's been in the league a minute.

1582
01:28:37,400 --> 01:28:40,400
Speaker 1: And when you see guys like that, sometimes it's hard

1583
01:28:40,400 --> 01:28:43,000
Speaker 1: for them to stay healthy for full schedule a games

1584
01:28:43,160 --> 01:28:45,760
Speaker 1: plus as an and particularly as an offensive lineman, because

1585
01:28:45,760 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: those guys don't rotate. You're gonna take If there's eleven

1586
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:50,680
Speaker 1: hundred snaps in the season, he's taking eleven hundred of them,

1587
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 1: and best case scenario, that's hard to do in your

1588
01:28:53,400 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: mid thirties. Um, So that's a concern for me. But

1589
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:00,280
Speaker 1: the depth they have is, you know, it's every where.

1590
01:29:00,560 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 1: So let's just hope it doesn't get tested to the

1591
01:29:02,920 --> 01:29:05,920
Speaker 1: point where it breaks. Last one comes from Ray. He

1592
01:29:06,200 --> 01:29:09,640
Speaker 1: votes for D line production. He says Miller has to

1593
01:29:09,720 --> 01:29:13,400
Speaker 1: improve our pressure on the QB, which will help the cornerbacks.

1594
01:29:14,240 --> 01:29:19,639
Speaker 1: Big Show Tomorrow Steve the new host of Good Morning Football,

1595
01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:23,120
