I don't know what 23 00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 2: he's talking. We're doing our part around here. 24 00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:27,479 Speaker 3: Wow. 25 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:27,759 Speaker 1: Right. 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 4: In any event, I'll tell you it was a long 27 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:31,759 Speaker 4: It was a long sash. 28 00:01:31,720 --> 00:01:34,320 Speaker 3: It was a long one and it was the first 29 00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 3: time I've seen a fight. 30 00:01:36,640 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: It was a little scrap after the play Spencer Brown 31 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: and all. 32 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:41,559 Speaker 3: It doesn't really counts a fight. 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 4: It was a little tussle, but that's first one. 34 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,240 Speaker 2: I was pushing and shoving first, grabbing people's helmets, whipping 35 00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 2: them off people's heads, and then you know, the other 36 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:54,040 Speaker 2: people got in there, and yeah, it was good. Cooler 37 00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: heads prevailed. 38 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 1: You know it was going to be that early in 39 00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: practice they had some one on one blitz pick up 40 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:00,600 Speaker 1: for the backs and the tight end. Yeah, with the 41 00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,920 Speaker 1: linebackers and safeties coming off the edge or coming up 42 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: through the A gap as well, all that stuff, and 43 00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:10,240 Speaker 1: you could tell it was one of those practice because 44 00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:12,520 Speaker 1: you know, one guy wins and then you know, place 45 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: goes nuts and then the next reps like it's on brosleeve. 46 00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, James Cook had a really good pass protection. He 47 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 2: did rep in there. I was waiting for him to 48 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,560 Speaker 2: rotate through again, but he didn't because I think the 49 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 2: segment got shortened, the time got shortened or something. For 50 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 2: that segment of practice, he was getting pats on the 51 00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 2: back because he just locked in there against the linebacker 52 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 2: and held his ground, which I don't think many people 53 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:40,399 Speaker 2: looking at him think he's capable of doing I've heard 54 00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 2: some criticism amongst the media. 55 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:45,600 Speaker 4: James can stand in there, man. 56 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:51,080 Speaker 2: So he's getting good coaching and I think he's better 57 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,680 Speaker 2: at it than he was last year. And you know 58 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 2: that Ken Dorsey has plans to have him be a 59 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280 Speaker 2: three down back, so that's gonna have to be in 60 00:02:59,320 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: his tool chat if he wants to stay on the field. 61 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,560 Speaker 2: Otherwise they'll have to split him out wide and put 62 00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,120 Speaker 2: somebody like Latavius Murray or Damion Harris in the backfield. 63 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, or you know, or Dawson Knox or somebody, you know, 64 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 1: a big body who knows. But long practice in my 65 00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: view because I was out of town for the weekend, 66 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:20,480 Speaker 1: but in my view, is the most physical practice I've 67 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 1: seen in a while. 68 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:25,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, multiple periods. 69 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,240 Speaker 1: In this practice, they were banging hard and guys were 70 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:29,919 Speaker 1: going to the ground. You know, you're not supposed to really, 71 00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: even when they're going live really not taking anybody to 72 00:03:32,720 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: the ground. A lot of guys were on the ground 73 00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:37,840 Speaker 1: today and it was ratcheted up. 74 00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 3: And they know too. I think they get a day 75 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 3: off tomorrow, so there's a little bit of that going on. 76 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 4: That's why I went along, Yeah, and. 77 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 1: It was it was fun practice to be at and 78 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 1: it was different. 79 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: It was really different. 80 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,320 Speaker 2: Practice on Friday night got pretty intense when they had 81 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,240 Speaker 2: short yardage for twelve plays and then went goal line 82 00:03:58,280 --> 00:03:59,200 Speaker 2: for eleven. 83 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 4: Right after that, So that was pretty heated. 84 00:04:02,840 --> 00:04:05,440 Speaker 2: Just to kind of recap last Friday, the return of 85 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:10,000 Speaker 2: the Blue and Red practice slash scrimmage, the defense had 86 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 2: the better of the play on that night, dominating the 87 00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: line of scrimmage and also great in pass coverage. The 88 00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: offensive units, all three of them, had difficulty moving the 89 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: football to even get a first down. So when they 90 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: went into team sessions, I was taken aback by how 91 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 2: much they struggled. 92 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: To move the sticks. 93 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,400 Speaker 2: I don't know if the defense just came to play, 94 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 2: but they were bowing up people and they looked really good. 95 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:45,120 Speaker 2: That defensive front is going to be a problem, and 96 00:04:45,160 --> 00:04:48,159 Speaker 2: that's without Von millerback and no Jordan Phillips at least 97 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 2: at that time last Friday. 98 00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: So you had those. 99 00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:55,080 Speaker 3: Two guys Jones, Tim settle At, Oliver. 100 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,359 Speaker 2: Poona Ford and Daikwon Jones stood out to me on 101 00:04:58,440 --> 00:04:59,239 Speaker 2: Friday nights. 102 00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:03,000 Speaker 3: They seem to be a really good combination to me. 103 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 2: And I think those will be two guys that will 104 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,560 Speaker 2: definitely be in there in goal line situations this season, 105 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 2: just because. 106 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,280 Speaker 4: Both of them are hard to move. 107 00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,960 Speaker 2: You can't move them, so that'd be a nice little 108 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:20,240 Speaker 2: tandem on the defensive interior, you know, when they get 109 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 2: into goal line type situations. And then Sunday, Christian Benford 110 00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,719 Speaker 2: had not really flashed at all through the course of 111 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 2: training camp, and it looked like he was falling a 112 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: little behind Dane Jackson and Kyrie Elam, who by most accounts, 113 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 2: including mine, were neck and neck. And all Christian Benford 114 00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,960 Speaker 2: does is make two picks in practice yesterday and that 115 00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 2: makes another one today on a miscommunication during a two 116 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:50,279 Speaker 2: minute drill at the end of practice today. So and 117 00:05:50,360 --> 00:05:53,480 Speaker 2: he was getting some first team reps as a reward 118 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,360 Speaker 2: for that to boot. 119 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,120 Speaker 4: So suddenly. 120 00:05:57,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 2: A cornerback two competition that you kind of thought maybe 121 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: going into the first preseason game might be down to 122 00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:07,400 Speaker 2: two candidates still has three very much in the mix here. 123 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 2: It's gonna be very interesting to see how they whittle 124 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,839 Speaker 2: that that down to two, let alone one. 125 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,400 Speaker 1: It seems simple, but it makes an enormous difference. And 126 00:06:15,440 --> 00:06:17,520 Speaker 1: I've never seen or heard about a team doing it 127 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 1: like the Bills do it. With the way they rotate 128 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 1: guys up and down the depth chart, it moves constantly. 129 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,800 Speaker 1: I remember back in the day, it never happened. Only 130 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,280 Speaker 1: until somebody went down with a with a you know, 131 00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: a broken femur, did you actually get, you know, a 132 00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 1: change in the depth chart. But now you've got When 133 00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:41,080 Speaker 1: a guy flashes up, they they keep him, let him 134 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: keep it rolling, you know, see if he can stack 135 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: those days on top of each other. That's what happened 136 00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:47,560 Speaker 1: to Benford last year when he starts stacking days, a 137 00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,880 Speaker 1: stacking reps, and all of a sudden he goes from 138 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,920 Speaker 1: the sixth round pick to a guy we couldn't even 139 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: pick out of a lineup, to the opening day starter 140 00:06:56,240 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 1: ahead of Kyrie Elam. Even I have I have always 141 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: been really impressed by Sean McDermott's ability just to be 142 00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: disciplined and keep doing that. 143 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:09,840 Speaker 3: You know, most you know, they. 144 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,040 Speaker 1: Once you get your roster filled out, you know, coaches 145 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,000 Speaker 1: fall in love with guys. You know Matt Mulano, I mean, 146 00:07:17,040 --> 00:07:20,200 Speaker 1: you know, Tremaine Edmunds, all these guys, you know, the 147 00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:28,720 Speaker 1: the go down the list Josh, you know, Tredavious, Stapho. 148 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:28,040 Speaker 3: Poorer and High. 149 00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:29,840 Speaker 1: You know, you get these guys that are a core group, 150 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:33,080 Speaker 1: and you really, you know, it's hard not to just say, oh, 151 00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,160 Speaker 1: he's our guy. We're not gonna you know, but when 152 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,880 Speaker 1: they start letting guys filter in there say because hey, 153 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: the guy's playing well, we want to give him a chance, 154 00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:42,880 Speaker 1: you know that the rest of the roster is is 155 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: absolutely on fire to keep producing and get on the 156 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: field because they know when they do flash, they're gonna 157 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:53,360 Speaker 1: get a chance to I'm I can't, I can't put 158 00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,400 Speaker 1: into words how unbelievable that is for a coaching staff 159 00:07:56,400 --> 00:07:59,240 Speaker 1: to have the wherewithal to do that, and the alertness 160 00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: and the communication between the position coaches and the coordinators 161 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,320 Speaker 1: and the head coach to where they go, well, you 162 00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: know what, this guy's he's done this and this and this. 163 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,200 Speaker 1: They go, Okay, give them give him some more. Let's 164 00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,040 Speaker 1: see what he can do, you know, And that's it 165 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,440 Speaker 1: sounds simple, but man, oh man, it's a complicated rotation. 166 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 1: It's a complicated chemistry problem. And but I think that 167 00:08:19,680 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: as much as anything else, is key to their player development. 168 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: That you're you've gone on and on about over the 169 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,280 Speaker 1: years so much Brownie. I think it's an incredible element. 170 00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 1: You see it, I think first hand out here when 171 00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:30,800 Speaker 1: these guys get elevated. 172 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,080 Speaker 2: Meanwhile, the middle linebacker competition, for those that may not 173 00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 2: have been paying attention over the weekend, Bobby Babbage, the 174 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:42,920 Speaker 2: linebacker's coach, addressing the media on Sunday after before practice, 175 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:48,080 Speaker 2: essentially confirmed that right now the line middle linebacker competition 176 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 2: is down to two candidates. Baile Inspector is still in 177 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 2: the mix, but he's kind of on the outside looking 178 00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: in right now as it's down to Tyrel Dotson and 179 00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:57,440 Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard. 180 00:08:57,760 --> 00:08:59,319 Speaker 4: Which we kind of clue people in. 181 00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,200 Speaker 2: One last week when we saw Baalin Spector didn't get 182 00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:05,640 Speaker 2: his turn in the rotation as they were going every 183 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:08,200 Speaker 2: day it was a new guy with the first team, 184 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:11,640 Speaker 2: Spector was pulled out of his rotational spot and it 185 00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,960 Speaker 2: went back to Dodson and then Bernard the next day, 186 00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 2: and they've been flip flopping since then. And it's, as 187 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:24,199 Speaker 2: Bobby Babbage put it, it's not that Specter hasn't done anything. 188 00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,240 Speaker 2: It's not like he's done anything wrong or underperformed. It's 189 00:09:28,280 --> 00:09:30,560 Speaker 2: just that those two guys have been more sound in 190 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:34,240 Speaker 2: their command of the defense and in their execution, whether 191 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 2: it's making checks at the line or making plays themselves. 192 00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 2: It's interesting they've just done more right. 193 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:45,720 Speaker 1: That that spot affects everybody, So you it's more than 194 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: just about you being able to run up and stuff 195 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: the run or drop into coverage too. Everybody else's job 196 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,440 Speaker 1: is depending on your ability to see it, relay it, 197 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 1: and get the coverage in the back end meshed with 198 00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:02,840 Speaker 1: the rush package of front. And everybody's got to hear 199 00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:04,400 Speaker 1: you and hear your voice, and you've got to make 200 00:10:04,400 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: sure it's right. So there's a lot on the plate 201 00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:10,400 Speaker 1: of that middle linebacker that affects everybody else how they play. 202 00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: You know, he may be the greatest player, everybody's not. 203 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:14,640 Speaker 1: If he's not good at that part of the game, 204 00:10:14,760 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 1: nobody else on the defense can play. So it's critical 205 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,280 Speaker 1: that the guy has a little bit more in his 206 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:25,840 Speaker 1: helmet than just a thick skull. You know, somebody can 207 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:29,000 Speaker 1: thump people. You got to be able to get everything 208 00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,800 Speaker 1: meshed around you, and it's a lot. 209 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:33,160 Speaker 3: It's a lot, and you. 210 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,760 Speaker 1: Can't make too many mistakes in there and have your 211 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 1: team kind of hang in there with you. 212 00:10:39,559 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 2: Not practicing today at Oliver with what was described by 213 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:46,360 Speaker 2: coach McDermott as back soreness. Wide receiver Isaiah Coulter is 214 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,720 Speaker 2: still out with the knee injury, Cam Lewis who suffered 215 00:10:48,720 --> 00:10:52,560 Speaker 2: a groin injury in practice yesterday, and Reggie Gilliam also 216 00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: down with a groin injury. Jordan Phillips, who came off 217 00:10:56,040 --> 00:11:00,440 Speaker 2: the pup list on Sunday, participated in individual positions, had 218 00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 2: practice Sunday, did not do any teamwork today. He was 219 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: back on the side with the strength and conditioning staff. 220 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,120 Speaker 2: Hopefully that is not a setback of any kind for 221 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,719 Speaker 2: him after getting some run yesterday, and then Dion Dawkins 222 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 2: had a veteran rest day today, so he was not 223 00:11:17,120 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 2: taking any reps in practice. What's in practice at all, 224 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 2: and that's kind of where things stand. It was nice 225 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 2: to see wide receiver Brian Thompson get back into the 226 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:32,640 Speaker 2: practice setting first practice back from a concussion suffered last week. 227 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:36,239 Speaker 2: So he's out of the protocol and is back practicing, 228 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,559 Speaker 2: albeit on a limited basis, And that's kind of where 229 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 2: things sit in terms of who's available for practice. We 230 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: do have a topic of discussion for you today concerning 231 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,880 Speaker 2: this Bill's team, and it's pretty simple. Who do you 232 00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:52,400 Speaker 2: think is going to be the new difference maker on defense? 233 00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 2: This could be somebody who steps their game up considerably 234 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,000 Speaker 2: this year after maybe not contributing quite as much in 235 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:02,240 Speaker 2: the splash play department or the can consistent play department. 236 00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,079 Speaker 2: So if you have somebody in mind that you think 237 00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: is going to take this giant leap and be a 238 00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: difference maker for this defense, we'll take that. Or if 239 00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,560 Speaker 2: it's somebody who's brand new to the team that is 240 00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:13,520 Speaker 2: probably gonna have a good chance to get on the field, 241 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:15,840 Speaker 2: who could be a difference maker as well, So you 242 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: let us know who that person is for you at 243 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,520 Speaker 2: eight h three zero five point fifty one eight eight 244 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:22,480 Speaker 2: eight five point fifty two five poin fifty the number 245 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,200 Speaker 2: to get on board or can hit us up on 246 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: the tweets sheet. As always at one Bill's Live, we 247 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 2: actually have one of somebody who should be a candidate 248 00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,000 Speaker 2: for this question coming up at the bottom of the hour. 249 00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,360 Speaker 4: Oh, I'd say about twenty minutes from now. 250 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 2: We'll have Taylor rep here sitting in between us, the 251 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 2: free agent signe from the Rams going to have an 252 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,240 Speaker 2: interesting role this year, certainly isn't going to start at 253 00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: safety because Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyder are there. But 254 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 2: it's very clear this guy is going to have a 255 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 2: varied role. I think is probably the best way to 256 00:12:57,800 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 2: phrase it in this defense because as we've said on 257 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,640 Speaker 2: this show before, Steve, he's just too talented to keep 258 00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:04,360 Speaker 2: off the field. 259 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 3: Right. 260 00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:06,679 Speaker 1: They brought him in because remember last year at the 261 00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,640 Speaker 1: end of the season during free agency, you know, you 262 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,520 Speaker 1: had Michah Hyde, who was out for fifteen of the 263 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: seventeen weeks of the season. You had Jordan Poyer who 264 00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:19,120 Speaker 1: was like Robotron kind of piece it together the entire sites, 265 00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,120 Speaker 1: just sucking up and playing, driving to Kansas City to 266 00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,079 Speaker 1: play punk, you know, all the stuff. He's he was 267 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:28,080 Speaker 1: dragging around a steamer trunk full of pain everywhere he went. 268 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 1: So he's both those guys, so they come off. So 269 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,560 Speaker 1: in the offseason they go, Okay, listen, you know, how 270 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:36,080 Speaker 1: are they doing? We got poorer back awesome, But both 271 00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:37,520 Speaker 1: those guys struggled last year. 272 00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:38,760 Speaker 4: Let's bring in stay healthy. 273 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, let's bring in a guy to compete with them. 274 00:13:41,559 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: And they brought in Taylor Rap who, in my estimation, 275 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: can play either guy. If one of them goes down, 276 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:53,600 Speaker 1: Taylor wraps the guy in either side, and which is awesome, 277 00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:57,320 Speaker 1: but he's also there because of his versatility can play 278 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,880 Speaker 1: either side. He can also play up and we're gonna 279 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: we got to ask him about that when he comes on. 280 00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:04,840 Speaker 1: I want to hear what they're gonna do it, because 281 00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,479 Speaker 1: you can't keep a player of his caliber on the bench. Particularly, 282 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: there're gonna be certain situations where he's the perfect piece 283 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,680 Speaker 1: and we're going to try and get to the bottom 284 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: of that. 285 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,560 Speaker 3: But Taylor Rap a guy who. 286 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:20,640 Speaker 1: Is really intriguing for the role because when he does 287 00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: get on the field, Brownie, it's because he's special. Well, 288 00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: I mean, he's got a skill set they've got to 289 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 1: get on the field and. 290 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:28,880 Speaker 3: They want to use. That'll be interesting. 291 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:31,080 Speaker 2: It's just about every head coach in the league subscribes 292 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 2: to this philosophy. We want to put our best eleven 293 00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,080 Speaker 2: out there. Well, there are probably gonna be certain situations 294 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,640 Speaker 2: in the scope of this defensive scheme where Taylor Rap 295 00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 2: is going to be one of. 296 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 4: Your best eleven. That's he's got to get on the 297 00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 4: field some way, somehow. 298 00:14:41,920 --> 00:14:43,480 Speaker 1: And who knows where there's going to be like third 299 00:14:43,520 --> 00:14:47,000 Speaker 1: and seven, plus or third and five plus for some 300 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: other teams out there, and it could be third and 301 00:14:50,600 --> 00:14:52,520 Speaker 1: one for some teams. You know, you never know what 302 00:14:52,560 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 1: the matchup's going to be like with the personnel you're 303 00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:59,120 Speaker 1: facing on a given week. And guy's really an athlete. 304 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,880 Speaker 1: He could be a wiss army Knight. Yes, so I 305 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: think he's been. I think he was a real key 306 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: pickup for the secondary. Plus he's got a ton of 307 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:11,640 Speaker 1: really valuable experience at the end of the season. 308 00:15:12,560 --> 00:15:13,480 Speaker 3: I think that's gonna help. 309 00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 2: Let's take a quick whip around the league for Around 310 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:23,160 Speaker 2: the NFL presented by Coalida Health, the official healthcare system 311 00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,480 Speaker 2: of the Buffalo Bills, and we begin in Cincinnati, Steve, 312 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,440 Speaker 2: where Bengals wide receiver Jamar Chase may have inadvertently spilled 313 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:33,520 Speaker 2: the beans on just how long Joe Burrow could be out. 314 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:35,800 Speaker 2: Somebody was saying, Hey, are you hoping Joe will be 315 00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:39,720 Speaker 2: ready for the season opener? And he said no, And 316 00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:41,640 Speaker 2: so that prompted the reporter to say, no, what do 317 00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 2: you mean, like, is he not going to be back? 318 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,360 Speaker 2: And he said, I was just telling Joe I wanted 319 00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 2: to be one hundred percent. 320 00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:47,080 Speaker 4: He's worried. 321 00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:49,960 Speaker 2: He's going to rush back, come back too early, reinjure himself, 322 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:51,680 Speaker 2: and then cause a problem that's going to last all 323 00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 2: season long. Head So then Jamar Chase follows up and says, well, 324 00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 2: as long as he's back by week five. This is 325 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:02,800 Speaker 2: now throwing the city of Cincinnati into an utter panic 326 00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 2: because now they think he's going to be missing the 327 00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,520 Speaker 2: first four games of the season, and the first two 328 00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:13,400 Speaker 2: Steve are Division games at Cleveland and against Baltimore. He 329 00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 2: doesn't make those two games, I'm chalking him up as losses. 330 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:17,960 Speaker 3: Right they go. 331 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: They go Browns, Ravens, Rams, Titans, Cardinals this week. 332 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,320 Speaker 2: Five, which you know that's a that's a win with 333 00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 2: or Titans. Cardinals might be the worst team in. 334 00:16:29,840 --> 00:16:33,160 Speaker 3: Football, maybe the Rams too so, but those first. 335 00:16:32,920 --> 00:16:36,240 Speaker 2: Two that was eye opening saying by week five, people 336 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:36,960 Speaker 2: are like, what. 337 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: We imagine, what's gonna happen if the Bengals come out 338 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:42,480 Speaker 1: and go oh and two against the Browns and Baltimore 339 00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:43,400 Speaker 1: in weeks one and two. 340 00:16:45,080 --> 00:16:46,640 Speaker 4: They didn't get off to a good star last year. 341 00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:48,760 Speaker 1: If you remember, I was camping this week, their their 342 00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: canoe is going to be teetering, their canoe. Their canoe 343 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:57,240 Speaker 1: is going to be teetering. That's yeah, that's rough. I mean, 344 00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:59,680 Speaker 1: we don't know, but people are all the injury. 345 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:01,000 Speaker 4: It didn't look good. 346 00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: It looked he knew it exactly immediately. To me, it 347 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:05,919 Speaker 1: looked more than a string CAF. 348 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,119 Speaker 2: I'm no doctor, but I gotta believe he tore some 349 00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,800 Speaker 2: muscle muscle tissue in there the way he pulled up right. 350 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:12,920 Speaker 4: That takes time. 351 00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:14,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, and plus. 352 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,040 Speaker 2: As we've pointed out, it's his back foot. You gotta 353 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,080 Speaker 2: stick that foot in the ground and deliver the football. 354 00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 1: Think about this, though, Brownie. I mean, these guys are 355 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: in shape. I mean, they run, they they do all that. 356 00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 3: He can't do anything now. 357 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 1: He can't throw, he can't throw, he can't run, can't 358 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: pedal a bike. 359 00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:35,120 Speaker 3: Nope, he's gonna come back in worse shape than I'm 360 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,640 Speaker 3: in right now. You know what I mean. 361 00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 4: Now that's saying something. 362 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: It's gonna to come back and get it. He's not 363 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:44,720 Speaker 1: gonna go out there and run round and stuff. He 364 00:17:44,720 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: gets to drop back and sling. 365 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 4: It won't. 366 00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not gonna be nothing. 367 00:17:49,320 --> 00:17:54,040 Speaker 1: And I listen, it happened like first day of training camp. 368 00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:56,040 Speaker 3: So it's been like two weeks now. 369 00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: So he's well on his way to being better, and 370 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: I'd say in another week would probably be the demarcation line. 371 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 3: For most torn muscles to most pulled muscles. 372 00:18:07,640 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: You get three weeks, you're thinking, okay, it's about time 373 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:11,040 Speaker 1: to get up and start doing some stuff. So we'll 374 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,399 Speaker 1: get a lead time. We'll all be able to see it. 375 00:18:14,400 --> 00:18:16,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of like what was telling you about Von 376 00:18:16,119 --> 00:18:19,600 Speaker 1: Miller coming back to the Bills. We're gonna see him 377 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,160 Speaker 1: escalate to the point where you're saying, Okay, it's gonna 378 00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:24,359 Speaker 1: be any day now, but we're not near that. 379 00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 3: With John Burrow. 380 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:27,640 Speaker 2: It's gonna be very interesting to see just how long 381 00:18:27,680 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 2: it takes him to get back. Free agent running back 382 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 2: Kareem Hunt visiting the Saints tomorrow, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 383 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 4: Obviously, the Saints are looking for running back depth. 384 00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:40,479 Speaker 2: They already do not have Alvin Kamara after he got 385 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,919 Speaker 2: a three game suspension and then backup running back. You know, 386 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,640 Speaker 2: Benjamin goes on IR with a ruptured achilles the other day, 387 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:50,040 Speaker 2: so they need bodies down there. It'll be interesting to 388 00:18:50,040 --> 00:18:54,679 Speaker 2: see if Hunt signs with the Saints. Carolina Panthers landed 389 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 2: a veteran edge rusher Justin Houston to pair with their 390 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:03,920 Speaker 2: alpha pass rusher, Ryan Burns, Justin Houston, thirty four years old, 391 00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:06,600 Speaker 2: though Steve don't know if he's the same pass rusher 392 00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 2: he used to be. He might just be a situational 393 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 2: guy for them. 394 00:19:08,760 --> 00:19:13,800 Speaker 1: Well to see, yeah, right, if things go your way, 395 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,960 Speaker 1: the guy plays every other third down, you know what 396 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,600 Speaker 1: I mean. That's about that's the extent of it now, 397 00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:21,840 Speaker 1: because I don't think the Panthers are the kind of 398 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: defense of the Bills are where they're running guys through, 399 00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: keeping him fresh. If they are even that gives him 400 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: a better chance. But I think a team like the Panthers, 401 00:19:31,640 --> 00:19:34,000 Speaker 1: you know, they're trying to build a roster they got. Yeah, 402 00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,000 Speaker 1: you know, a guy like Justin Houston, he's even at 403 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,200 Speaker 1: thirty five years old, could kind of hang in there 404 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:39,800 Speaker 1: with some of the guys they've gotten. They might think, 405 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: you know what if we could just get ten more 406 00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,760 Speaker 1: snaps out of him, you know that kind of thing, 407 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,880 Speaker 1: playing for twenty snaps a week, right, and then they're 408 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,520 Speaker 1: thinking she could on five of them. 409 00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 4: He's going to help you, right. 410 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: And then get him those twenty snaps, and then all 411 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: of a sudden it's like, well, you know, he's still 412 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,880 Speaker 1: better than this. How about we give him twenty five. 413 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 1: It's true, that's why it goes. And then then all 414 00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you guys, he's standing on the sidelines. 415 00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 1: You're playing the other guy. 416 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:02,679 Speaker 4: Anyway. 417 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:07,159 Speaker 2: Speaking of Frank Reich's team, Frank has decided rookie quarterback 418 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 2: Bryce Young will start Saturday's preseason opener against the Jets. 419 00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:14,800 Speaker 2: He did not commit to how many snaps he will play, 420 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:18,879 Speaker 2: but he will start the game at home. Later this week, 421 00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 2: John Johnson, veteran safety, goes back to the Rams for 422 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:25,640 Speaker 2: a second stint, signed to one year deal with them 423 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: after spending the last couple of seasons in Cleveland. 424 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:31,400 Speaker 4: And what else happened? 425 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 2: The Vikings over the weekend signed Nikhil Harry after a 426 00:20:35,880 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 2: workout at their practice facility. They're trying to backfill the 427 00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:40,960 Speaker 2: receiver group that has two receivers down. 428 00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,520 Speaker 1: Nikhil Harry comes out and starts playing like Gangbuster because 429 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: the guy's first round physical talent. 430 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,879 Speaker 4: Yeah, so is DeVante Parker. 431 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Yeah, I mean, what happens 432 00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: if they'd leave New England like Nikhil Harry did, and 433 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,080 Speaker 1: he spreads his wings all of a sudden, this, Hey, 434 00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:56,840 Speaker 1: this guy's really good. 435 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 4: What I'm not holding my breath on? 436 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: What are people gonna say about the treats. 437 00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 4: That they can't develop wide receivers? 438 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:04,719 Speaker 3: Yeah, at least that would be the problem. 439 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 2: Let's go to the phones at eight oh three h 440 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,280 Speaker 2: five fifty one, eight five fifty two five fifty. 441 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:11,320 Speaker 4: The number to get on board is we are. 442 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,480 Speaker 2: Asking you who do you think could be a new 443 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,600 Speaker 2: difference maker on the Bills defense this season?

And look, not for nothing. Joe Cleco 470 00:22:43,119 --> 00:22:45,960 Speaker 2: had a very long career as a defensive lineman. Played 471 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,280 Speaker 2: three different positions on the defensive line and under. 472 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:51,200 Speaker 4: Tackle and noseguard. 473 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,240 Speaker 2: Had a twenty sacks season at the defensive tackle position, 474 00:22:56,760 --> 00:22:59,440 Speaker 2: and played for thirteen years.

They went to an AFC title game and 480 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,840 Speaker 2: lost to the Dolphins. I mean, not for nothing. The 481 00:23:23,920 --> 00:23:26,399 Speaker 2: Jets don't go that far in the playoffs very often. 482 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:27,840 Speaker 3: Here's the problem, here's one problem. 483 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 4: And he had a storied career.

I have nothing to do with Joe 486 00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 1: Cleco and Joe Kleco being in the Hall of has 487 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: nothing to do with me, right, Joe's a great player. 488 00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 3: He deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. 489 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,000 Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with the guys he went 490 00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,159 Speaker 1: in with, or the guys who didn't get in this 491 00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:54,720 Speaker 1: year or haven't gotten in the past. This isn't about 492 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,359 Speaker 1: comparing him to me and me to a different guy 493 00:23:57,400 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 1: and those guys to these guys. 494 00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,840 Speaker 4: And the Hall of Fame selectors don't do that either. 495 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,360 Speaker 1: No, they all you gotta do is is the guy 496 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 1: worthy or not? And and there's only there's a short 497 00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:10,640 Speaker 1: it's a short list every year. They can't let all 498 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: these people in. It's a high bar, and it should 499 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: be a high bar. So I appreciate all the conversations 500 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:19,880 Speaker 1: people have had about my career. I'm humbled by it. 501 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: It's an honor to be in the conversation whenever I 502 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:26,440 Speaker 1: get in there. But I'd appreciate everybody listening. If if 503 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: you call in, you don't have to disparage guys like 504 00:24:28,920 --> 00:24:32,879 Speaker 1: Joe Cleco or or whoever else you might think about 505 00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,040 Speaker 1: getting in the Hall of Fame this year or that 506 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: year or whatever other Hall of famers. You don't have 507 00:24:37,080 --> 00:24:40,200 Speaker 1: to disparage them to talk about me. They don't deserve it. 508 00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 1: It's not on them they have I have nothing to 509 00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,280 Speaker 1: do now with with getting into the Hall of Fame. 510 00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: If I do, or if I would, and they don't 511 00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:51,720 Speaker 1: have any it's all done for them. I've never mounted pete. 512 00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: My listeners know, I've never mounted a campaign to get in. 513 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,720 Speaker 1: All the stuff you see on Twitter, the handles, that's 514 00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,840 Speaker 1: none of that is me, none of the all the 515 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,440 Speaker 1: none of that. I've never hired a PR firm. I've 516 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: never any of that, right, And so it has nothing 517 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,800 Speaker 1: to do with the other inductees. 518 00:25:09,040 --> 00:25:10,480 Speaker 3: Those guys are awesome dudes. 519 00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,320 Speaker 1: They're great players, most of them that all the ones 520 00:25:13,359 --> 00:25:17,800 Speaker 1: I've met have been phenomenal. So I appreciate the conversation 521 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 1: when you're when you're you know, wishing I was in 522 00:25:20,840 --> 00:25:23,280 Speaker 1: or whatever. But you don't have to disparage any of 523 00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: the other guys that do get in, because they have 524 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:27,879 Speaker 1: They've had great careers too, and we should acknowledge it, 525 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,119 Speaker 1: and I have no problem doing that. 526 00:25:29,119 --> 00:25:31,639 Speaker 3: They're great dudes, and I'm happy for him, very happy 527 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:31,960 Speaker 3: for him. 528 00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,280 Speaker 4: Let's go back to the phones and we go to 529 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,199 Speaker 4: Cassidy in Batavia. What do you got for his? 530 00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:36,680 Speaker 3: Cassidy? 531 00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:41,240 Speaker 6: Are you there? 532 00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:46,160 Speaker 7: Yes, sir, Hey, I'm gonna say, obviously, the obvious answer 533 00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 7: would be Taylor rap making defense more versatile, but I 534 00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 7: know you guys have them coming on, so I'm gonna say, Turnevioswhite. 535 00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:56,320 Speaker 7: I have more time to recover from injury and being 536 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,400 Speaker 7: more of himself, both mentally and physically. I think he's 537 00:25:59,400 --> 00:25:59,960 Speaker 7: a game changer. 538 00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 2: Okay, So you think he kind of makes it back 539 00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 2: to his all pro form. 540 00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:06,280 Speaker 4: That's I like that idea. 541 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 7: Yes, okay, yeah. 542 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,760 Speaker 1: I ask Cassidy appreciated. That's a good call, and you're right, 543 00:26:11,760 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't have to be somebody off the radar. Yeah, 544 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,680 Speaker 1: Trey is CB one and he's going to be there. 545 00:26:17,760 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 4: And was sorely missed last year. 546 00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,480 Speaker 1: He was sorely missed, and we have talked a lot 547 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,360 Speaker 1: about how he seems more comfortable in his own skin 548 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:28,920 Speaker 1: this year. I think last year and I witnessed this 549 00:26:29,160 --> 00:26:31,640 Speaker 1: and also experienced it, whenever you're hurt and you're kind 550 00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:33,760 Speaker 1: of hanging around, you're not on the field on the team, 551 00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 1: but you're still on the team. But you're hurt and 552 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,200 Speaker 1: you're recovering and you're not you can't contribute, but you 553 00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:43,959 Speaker 1: got to be there to participate, and it's it really 554 00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,119 Speaker 1: beats the heck out of your self esteem. You know, 555 00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: it's really hard to feel like you're a guy that 556 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,800 Speaker 1: can contribute when you can't even take a rep. So 557 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 1: it I can understand why Trey might have been in 558 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,840 Speaker 1: a bad headspace last year for a long time and 559 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,000 Speaker 1: it took him a long time to. 560 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 3: Get back to it. 561 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:09,200 Speaker 1: But you're right, he could be a guy if he 562 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:11,359 Speaker 1: comes out spreads his wings again like we saw him 563 00:27:11,359 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 1: two years ago and three years ago and throughout his career. Yes, 564 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,200 Speaker 1: this defense will be markedly different. That's a good call. 565 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 3: Thanks. 566 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 4: Let's go to CJ in Buffalo next. What do you 567 00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 4: have for a CJ? 568 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:23,880 Speaker 1: Hey? 569 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:24,919 Speaker 8: Guys, how you doing today? 570 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:26,439 Speaker 4: Good? 571 00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,280 Speaker 8: Hey? So, I know Steve was talking about Sean McDermott 572 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,600 Speaker 8: and how he doesn't really get stuck on players, which 573 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:34,960 Speaker 8: is true now, but I do think he learned his 574 00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 8: lesson in the beginning with Nate Peterman. I know Sean 575 00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,119 Speaker 8: McDermott saw a lot of potential in Nate Peterman, and 576 00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:45,199 Speaker 8: I think we all did after his great preseasons, and 577 00:27:45,240 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 8: then it just the talent never came to fruition during 578 00:27:48,119 --> 00:27:50,880 Speaker 8: the game. So I think Sean mcdermt learns his learned 579 00:27:50,920 --> 00:27:55,200 Speaker 8: his lesson with you know, really keying on a one player. Secondly, 580 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 8: I want to go to the twelve personnel. After Dawson 581 00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:02,120 Speaker 8: Knox spoke this morning, he sounds like we really plan 582 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,800 Speaker 8: on running the ball a little more, you know, because 583 00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 8: I think he's the first guy I heard talk about 584 00:28:07,240 --> 00:28:11,280 Speaker 8: him and Ken Kaid actually blocking. You know, he brought 585 00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:15,239 Speaker 8: up them blocking and how Dorsey mixes it up and 586 00:28:15,280 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 8: how to be harder for teams to really key in 587 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,120 Speaker 8: when you're in that formation of twelve personnel, one back 588 00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:23,679 Speaker 8: and two tight ends, and especially with Diggs and Davis 589 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,679 Speaker 8: on the outside, Like I'm super excited for this, especially 590 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:29,240 Speaker 8: with Osiris turns that guard being a bigger body. I 591 00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:33,160 Speaker 8: know he's not as mobile as Baits, but this has 592 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 8: me My mouth is water in for football right now. 593 00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know it's a valid point, CJ. Because 594 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 2: if you think of it, this way. Even if the 595 00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:45,479 Speaker 2: Bills trot out twelve personnel on the field, based on 596 00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:48,040 Speaker 2: what they've done with Josh Allen at quarterback the last 597 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 2: four years, what do you think the first inclination of 598 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,520 Speaker 2: the opposing defense is going to be? They're gonna be 599 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 2: thrown it anyway, So we're going to protect against the 600 00:28:56,320 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 2: pass because Josh Allen can hit any point on the 601 00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:02,400 Speaker 2: field with this right, so you're gonna defend the pass first. 602 00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,480 Speaker 2: So there, I think very early in the season, there's 603 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680 Speaker 2: gonna be a lot of opposing defenses when the Bills 604 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,200 Speaker 2: come out in twelve personnel that are going to invite 605 00:29:10,240 --> 00:29:12,880 Speaker 2: them to run the football, show us you can do 606 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 2: it right, and until they prove otherwise, they'll continue to 607 00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: play them that way. But I think the Bills are 608 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 2: gonna be looking at a lot of light boxes early 609 00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 2: in the season. 610 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: That's what it's gonna be about. They're gonna force, They're 611 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 1: gonna they'll throw twelve person out there, personnel out there, 612 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:32,320 Speaker 1: they'll throw eleven personnel, they'll throw ten personnel, and they'll 613 00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:36,120 Speaker 1: throw probably twenty two personnel out there with two backs 614 00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 1: and two running two tight ends, two running backs, and 615 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:42,840 Speaker 1: then within those personnel sets, they're gonna be able, hopefully, 616 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:44,880 Speaker 1: and that's this is the idea. They're gonna get a 617 00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: matchup that they can exploit, and they're gonna be able 618 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:49,440 Speaker 1: to run the ball whenever they want and throw the 619 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: ball whenever they want and be successful doing it out 620 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:53,400 Speaker 1: of all those personnel. 621 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 3: That's the whole idea behind it. 622 00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: Certainly, there's gonna be personnel groups where they're gonna be 623 00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: better and where most opponents will match up poorly with 624 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:05,480 Speaker 1: whatever set they put out there, whether it's twelve personnel, 625 00:30:05,560 --> 00:30:09,720 Speaker 1: eleven personnel, or twenty two personnel, teams are by and 626 00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: large are. 627 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,000 Speaker 3: Gonna struggle to match up with that. 628 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:16,240 Speaker 1: Maybe it's twelve personnel this year, it doesn't matter, because 629 00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:17,400 Speaker 1: if you get out there in twelve and all of 630 00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,000 Speaker 1: a sudden, you've got you're treating it like a three 631 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,080 Speaker 1: wide receiver set, even at the most, and all of 632 00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: a sudden James Cook splits out. Now you're four wide 633 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: and Dawson knocks backs up and he's a two hundred 634 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,880 Speaker 1: and fifty five pounds tailback or something. You know, all 635 00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:35,520 Speaker 1: of that creative stuff, that's what you've got to do, 636 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 1: All of that stuff inside that personnel group and force 637 00:30:38,360 --> 00:30:42,240 Speaker 1: the defense to defend it, you know, and that's the key. 638 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,000 Speaker 1: So I think there they are gonna have a wider 639 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:47,320 Speaker 1: range of personnel groupings this year than they did last year. 640 00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:53,160 Speaker 1: They were like eleven personnel a lot, and I think 641 00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,360 Speaker 1: they're gonna be more effective out of those other groups 642 00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: because of guys like Kinkaid, because of guys like James Cook, 643 00:30:58,520 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: and because of guys. 644 00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:01,720 Speaker 3: Like Sherfield all of that. 645 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm excited about the other personnel groupings that 646 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:07,640 Speaker 1: they may be able to put out there and what 647 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 1: they can do out of it, whether they can out 648 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:12,880 Speaker 1: physical some teams, because that's always fun when your team 649 00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: can out push the other team. You'll just get out 650 00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,440 Speaker 1: there and beat them up, push them around. 651 00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:17,840 Speaker 3: It's fun. 652 00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 4: Break time for us here. 653 00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 2: But when we come back, sitting between us, we'll be 654 00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 2: one tailor Rap new defensive back on Buffalo's roster.

How is 824 00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,040 Speaker 2: that element going in terms of, Hey, you know, when 825 00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:32,200 Speaker 2: I line up with Tyrrell or I line up with Matt, 826 00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 2: I know what to expect now because I've gotten enough 827 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,160 Speaker 2: reps with him, But maybe I could get some more 828 00:39:37,200 --> 00:39:39,720 Speaker 2: reps with this guy to feel more comfortable going forward. 829 00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:41,439 Speaker 2: How is that playing off one another? 830 00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:41,880 Speaker 4: How is that? 831 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:42,120 Speaker 6: Yeah? 832 00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean that dynamic is is definitely you know, 833 00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:49,200 Speaker 9: one one thing that's been interesting just because you know, 834 00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 9: I you know, I'm in training camp. I'm going in 835 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,280 Speaker 9: with the sometimes with the one, sometimes with two, sometimes 836 00:39:55,280 --> 00:39:58,080 Speaker 9: with the threes at different positions, and so, you know, 837 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,160 Speaker 9: coach coach Butler, he always talks about, you know, in meetings, 838 00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:05,920 Speaker 9: you know, overemphasizing communication because you know, one one snap, 839 00:40:05,960 --> 00:40:09,000 Speaker 9: I'm gonna be in with you know, uh, some different corners, 840 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:12,080 Speaker 9: some different linebackers and stuff like that. So you're just 841 00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:14,280 Speaker 9: trying to build the chemistry with the whole tire defense. 842 00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 9: And you know, I think that's what all training camp 843 00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:19,440 Speaker 9: is about. That's what you know, us coming to Rochester, 844 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:22,360 Speaker 9: coming and spending time out here at Saint John Fisher 845 00:40:22,360 --> 00:40:25,080 Speaker 9: and getting away from you know, all the external stuff, 846 00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:27,160 Speaker 9: all the outside noise, and just building that bond in 847 00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,359 Speaker 9: chemistry just because you know, I really think that bond 848 00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,640 Speaker 9: and chemistry throughout a whole back you know, the whole eleven, 849 00:40:35,120 --> 00:40:37,759 Speaker 9: but especially the back, the back seven, you know, in 850 00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:40,759 Speaker 9: coverage and in communication is so important. So that's what 851 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,200 Speaker 9: all you know, being here at Rochester is all about 852 00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:45,240 Speaker 9: building that chemistry, building that bond with everyone. 853 00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:47,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about the reps, and you know, he 854 00:40:47,080 --> 00:40:49,080 Speaker 1: seems to training camp, you gont rep after rep, but 855 00:40:49,080 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 1: there's only so many reps and you can only take 856 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:53,080 Speaker 1: them one at a time, right, and so there's only 857 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,880 Speaker 1: so many you can get. Where have you taken the 858 00:40:56,000 --> 00:40:59,360 Speaker 1: least amount of reps? I mean, I mean, I think. 859 00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 4: I can tell you I don't even think I could 860 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,840 Speaker 4: quarterback tackle. 861 00:41:02,880 --> 00:41:06,440 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to probably, But you know, Mike, when you 862 00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:09,440 Speaker 1: came here, where's the spot that they got you playing 863 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:12,560 Speaker 1: that you don't you haven't really had an experienced playing 864 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:13,359 Speaker 1: if there is. 865 00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 9: One, Yeah, I mean I would say kind of just 866 00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:19,200 Speaker 9: that that sub package that you know, that Will nickel position, 867 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,480 Speaker 9: you know, the big big nickel position. I guess some 868 00:41:21,560 --> 00:41:25,879 Speaker 9: big dime position linebacker will whatever. You know I I 869 00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:27,440 Speaker 9: I got a little taste of that in l A. 870 00:41:27,640 --> 00:41:31,880 Speaker 9: But you know, obviously different system, different defensive plays and stuff, 871 00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:35,400 Speaker 9: and you know, a little more different technique. But you know, 872 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:38,520 Speaker 9: I I definitely feel a little more comfortable obviously at 873 00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 9: the safety positions, just because I kind of have that 874 00:41:40,960 --> 00:41:45,600 Speaker 9: background safety playing my whole career. And then you know, 875 00:41:45,719 --> 00:41:48,680 Speaker 9: so so definitely you know that that that nickel I guess, 876 00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 9: uh big nickel position, that that dime will will linebacker. 877 00:41:52,520 --> 00:41:54,799 Speaker 4: All Right, we've talked enough football.

I had to spend quite a bit 988 00:46:57,200 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 11: of time going to the bill store and online trying 989 00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:02,040 Speaker 11: to one of your jerseys, and I don't understand it. 990 00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:03,480 Speaker 11: So I got to talk to somebody. 991 00:47:05,760 --> 00:47:09,200 Speaker 1: Well, there's a couple of reasons for that. One I 992 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 1: played a lifetime ago and two I played a lifetime ago. 993 00:47:14,600 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 4: Well, and they were hard to You couldn't get him. 994 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:17,680 Speaker 3: I couldn't get him. 995 00:47:17,719 --> 00:47:19,840 Speaker 2: Well, I can't get I'm wondering if he's trying to 996 00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:25,520 Speaker 2: track down the authentic nineties version that's hard to get. Like, 997 00:47:25,560 --> 00:47:27,440 Speaker 2: if you just want to order a Bill's jersey, now 998 00:47:27,800 --> 00:47:29,560 Speaker 2: put Tasker on the back in eighty nine. 999 00:47:29,960 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 4: You can do that. 1000 00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:33,360 Speaker 1: You can cuss like Mortar jerseys online for sure, but 1001 00:47:33,400 --> 00:47:35,480 Speaker 1: there are some hoops to jump through. Yeah, and you 1002 00:47:35,560 --> 00:47:36,919 Speaker 1: got to pay through the nose. 1003 00:47:37,200 --> 00:47:41,320 Speaker 2: Concerning his Shane ray Pick, I will say and I 1004 00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:43,600 Speaker 2: think Steve's in agreement on this. He has made an 1005 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:46,840 Speaker 2: impression and I think he will be pushing some of 1006 00:47:46,880 --> 00:47:49,880 Speaker 2: the guys that aren't on the first team for a 1007 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:51,880 Speaker 2: roster spot at the defensive end position. 1008 00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:56,800 Speaker 4: I think what he unquestionably has is a speed rush. 1009 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:58,359 Speaker 4: I think we just need through the. 1010 00:47:58,280 --> 00:48:00,960 Speaker 2: Course of the preseason to see a little bit more 1011 00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,600 Speaker 2: of his counter move game. And if he has a 1012 00:48:03,640 --> 00:48:06,160 Speaker 2: counter move game, whether it's a spin or a one 1013 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,000 Speaker 2: arm stab or whatever it is, I think he's got 1014 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,120 Speaker 2: to show that he has a repertoire to turn to 1015 00:48:11,680 --> 00:48:14,280 Speaker 2: because the offensive tackles are too good in this league 1016 00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:17,120 Speaker 2: to where they'll be able to stop a one trick pony. 1017 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:18,960 Speaker 2: You have to have a counter repertoire. 1018 00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:21,160 Speaker 1: The thing that I saw too and I don't want to, 1019 00:48:21,520 --> 00:48:25,240 Speaker 1: you know, be a homer he or anything, but Shane 1020 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: Ray is also out taking reps on special teams and 1021 00:48:27,800 --> 00:48:31,520 Speaker 1: he's put in a full effort. Yeah, he's really working 1022 00:48:31,640 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 1: hard to get on get on a special team's unit, 1023 00:48:34,280 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 1: punt punt return, kickoff, kickoff return. He's a big body dude, 1024 00:48:37,320 --> 00:48:39,399 Speaker 1: and he's got athleticism, so he can do that. 1025 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:41,360 Speaker 3: If he can continue. 1026 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,839 Speaker 1: That, it'll be it'll be like al Darryl Johnston kind 1027 00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: of guy who the Bills drafted a few years ago. 1028 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 4: And the seventh round pick. 1029 00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:48,839 Speaker 3: Seventh round pick who was in Carolina for a minute 1030 00:48:48,920 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 3: might still be. 1031 00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 4: Oh they traded him to Carolina. 1032 00:48:50,719 --> 00:48:53,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, and he can be a guy who can contribute 1033 00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:56,400 Speaker 1: in the rotation and give him an extra roster plus 1034 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:01,680 Speaker 1: be a good player rotationally. He's smart enough to know 1035 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:05,319 Speaker 1: you've got to contribute as much as you can. And 1036 00:49:05,400 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 1: he's out taking big special teams reps in practice, So 1037 00:49:09,920 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 1: that to me says he's on their radar for sure. 1038 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,520 Speaker 1: And Brown and I we were talking back and forth 1039 00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 1: about Shane Ray and Cameron Klein today about who they 1040 00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,359 Speaker 1: are and you know, if they can they I think 1041 00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:24,440 Speaker 1: they're both on the radar of the roster of getting 1042 00:49:24,440 --> 00:49:25,799 Speaker 1: a chance to come in and contribute. 1043 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and they're pushing people like Book And that's why 1044 00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:29,839 Speaker 2: they're pushing right. 1045 00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:32,480 Speaker 1: Because right now it's almost the point where Boogie Bashman 1046 00:49:32,480 --> 00:49:37,040 Speaker 1: and AJ Panessa they're known commodities. If Cameron Klein or 1047 00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:40,480 Speaker 1: Shane Ray can convince the coaching staff they've got an 1048 00:49:40,560 --> 00:49:45,600 Speaker 1: upside that may be bigger than they're showing right now. 1049 00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:48,160 Speaker 1: And if they're competing at the same level that AJ 1050 00:49:48,600 --> 00:49:51,799 Speaker 1: and and Boogie and all these guys are and they 1051 00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,319 Speaker 1: can convince them that there's more in the tank. They 1052 00:49:54,360 --> 00:49:56,719 Speaker 1: win because you're going to bring a guy in who 1053 00:49:56,800 --> 00:50:00,480 Speaker 1: especially if he's taking special teams reps. So that's where 1054 00:50:00,520 --> 00:50:05,960 Speaker 1: they're up against, is that rotation group, you know, the 1055 00:50:06,000 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 1: defensive line. And yeah, Shane Ray and Cameron Klein have 1056 00:50:09,520 --> 00:50:14,040 Speaker 1: both done some things that are like caught Brownie and 1057 00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 1: iye attention. So it's interesting to see and it's a 1058 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:16,919 Speaker 1: good call. 1059 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:20,000 Speaker 2: Tom and Rochester, stay where you are.

Who rises 1087 00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:17,920 Speaker 2: up and makes a splash that you believe not many 1088 00:52:18,080 --> 00:52:22,080 Speaker 2: are anticipating. To a man who has exhibited plenty of 1089 00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,439 Speaker 2: patients and holding for a while, Tom in Rochester, thanks 1090 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:25,880 Speaker 2: for holding. 1091 00:52:25,920 --> 00:52:27,120 Speaker 4: What do you got for us? 1092 00:52:27,920 --> 00:52:29,920 Speaker 12: Well? First of all, Steve, you're a Hall of Famer 1093 00:52:29,960 --> 00:52:35,960 Speaker 12: to me, Thank you. And I've been thinking about this 1094 00:52:36,040 --> 00:52:38,920 Speaker 12: and it's been very easy for me. Greg Grussol, I 1095 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:42,640 Speaker 12: think he's twenty two to twenty three now. He has 1096 00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:46,320 Speaker 12: all the intangibles you want. He seems like he's getting 1097 00:52:46,360 --> 00:52:50,160 Speaker 12: bigger every year. I think if von Miller comes back, 1098 00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:53,279 Speaker 12: the way. I think he should come back, and with 1099 00:52:53,680 --> 00:52:57,279 Speaker 12: Ford in the middle and a healthy defensive line, it's 1100 00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:00,480 Speaker 12: gonna be hard for the offensive line not to one 1101 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,919 Speaker 12: stop one of them. But ousso I think is gonna 1102 00:53:02,920 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 12: be coming at the quarterback a lot at times. 1103 00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:09,160 Speaker 4: Yeah, I thought I like that pick. 1104 00:53:09,239 --> 00:53:10,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a good pick. 1105 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:11,760 Speaker 4: Thanks Tom. 1106 00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:14,239 Speaker 2: I'll say this, I thought he was ready to have 1107 00:53:14,239 --> 00:53:16,520 Speaker 2: a breakout season last year. The guy had four sacks 1108 00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:19,560 Speaker 2: in his first four games, then gets the high ankle spring, 1109 00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:23,280 Speaker 2: misses a few games, tries to come back and play 1110 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 2: through it, and I think we can all agree, and 1111 00:53:26,320 --> 00:53:28,600 Speaker 2: Greg might even agree himself that he wasn't quite the 1112 00:53:28,640 --> 00:53:31,640 Speaker 2: same player essentially playing on one good. 1113 00:53:31,480 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 4: Ankle for the rest of the season. 1114 00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:35,839 Speaker 2: Still finished with eight sacks to tie for the team 1115 00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,560 Speaker 2: lead last year, missing three games and playing on a 1116 00:53:38,600 --> 00:53:41,960 Speaker 2: gimpie leg for like the last ten. So if staying 1117 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,520 Speaker 2: healthy is the key for him, I think as long 1118 00:53:44,520 --> 00:53:47,200 Speaker 2: as he stays healthy, he is going to be successful 1119 00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,839 Speaker 2: as one of the top pass rushers on this football team. 1120 00:53:49,880 --> 00:53:50,879 Speaker 4: So I like that pick, Tom. 1121 00:53:51,000 --> 00:53:52,759 Speaker 1: Yeah, he is one of the top pass rushers on 1122 00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:55,839 Speaker 1: the team, no question about it. Von Miller not with 1123 00:53:55,840 --> 00:53:59,000 Speaker 1: standing Leonard Floyd notwithstanding, I mean those guys, he's in 1124 00:53:59,040 --> 00:54:03,240 Speaker 1: there with him, and you're right, he seems this seems 1125 00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:05,120 Speaker 1: to be to me it's his third year. 1126 00:54:06,920 --> 00:54:07,600 Speaker 4: Breakout time. 1127 00:54:07,880 --> 00:54:11,680 Speaker 1: I think it is time for that. And I'll say 1128 00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:15,240 Speaker 1: this too, I don't know that we have a real 1129 00:54:15,360 --> 00:54:18,719 Speaker 1: glimpse of the solid rotation that's going to go on 1130 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:22,359 Speaker 1: behind Russeau, behind von Miller, behind Leonard Floyd and all 1131 00:54:22,360 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: that got. 1132 00:54:22,760 --> 00:54:23,359 Speaker 3: The rest of them. 1133 00:54:23,520 --> 00:54:25,680 Speaker 1: I don't think we have a clear picture of what's 1134 00:54:25,680 --> 00:54:28,040 Speaker 1: going to happen behind those guys that'll have a lot 1135 00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:29,879 Speaker 1: to do, a lot, a big say in how many 1136 00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: reps they get, how productive they're going to be. But Rousseau, 1137 00:54:34,880 --> 00:54:38,799 Speaker 1: I like that pick because of what he's been through 1138 00:54:38,880 --> 00:54:41,600 Speaker 1: this point of his career. And the thing is you 1139 00:54:41,640 --> 00:54:43,799 Speaker 1: said he's better every year. He was bigger this year. 1140 00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 1: He got off to a lightning start last year before 1141 00:54:47,719 --> 00:54:50,960 Speaker 1: he got sabotaged by an injury, and then he dragged 1142 00:54:50,960 --> 00:54:55,560 Speaker 1: that around the whole season. I like that pick, And 1143 00:54:55,680 --> 00:54:57,720 Speaker 1: like I said, it's nice that people are picking people 1144 00:54:57,719 --> 00:55:01,839 Speaker 1: that are that aren't just like down the roster. Some 1145 00:55:01,920 --> 00:55:03,560 Speaker 1: of these guys are really going to have a chance 1146 00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,279 Speaker 1: to make a difference, and I think Russeau is a 1147 00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:05,800 Speaker 1: great pick. 1148 00:55:06,640 --> 00:55:07,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Rousseau. 1149 00:55:07,600 --> 00:55:11,920 Speaker 2: We've heard Taylor Rap's name mentioned as well, and I 1150 00:55:12,120 --> 00:55:14,920 Speaker 2: think there are other candidates. Really, I mean there's a 1151 00:55:15,040 --> 00:55:18,640 Speaker 2: host of guys who I mean, whoever wins the middle 1152 00:55:18,640 --> 00:55:22,280 Speaker 2: linebacker competition, Yeah, that could be a new difference maker 1153 00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:27,560 Speaker 2: in this defense. Yes, cornerback two. Whoever nails that job down, 1154 00:55:27,600 --> 00:55:30,919 Speaker 2: if it's one guy could be the new difference maker 1155 00:55:30,960 --> 00:55:32,440 Speaker 2: on the d could. 1156 00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:34,120 Speaker 3: Be the head coach. Sean McDermott too. 1157 00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:40,279 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean we because a different guy pushing the 1158 00:55:40,280 --> 00:55:44,520 Speaker 1: buttons is going to get different results than other guys 1159 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:47,480 Speaker 1: would and those results depend on the guys he uses, 1160 00:55:47,520 --> 00:55:50,600 Speaker 1: the guys he likes, the guys who thrive under his 1161 00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,520 Speaker 1: mindset as a defensive coordinator. And it could be completely 1162 00:55:53,520 --> 00:55:55,200 Speaker 1: different people than we've seen in the past, and it'll 1163 00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:55,879 Speaker 1: be interesting to see. 1164 00:55:55,880 --> 00:55:58,240 Speaker 3: I think that's as funny thing to think about as anything. 1165 00:55:58,719 --> 00:56:01,240 Speaker 4: Let's go back to the phones and three five fifty 1166 00:56:01,320 --> 00:56:03,600 Speaker 4: open line for you.

They 1174 00:56:20,880 --> 00:56:21,879 Speaker 13: listen to you guys every day. 1175 00:56:21,880 --> 00:56:24,279 Speaker 14: They love you as we uh. 1176 00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,319 Speaker 13: Uh Now with your question, I mean it's it's what 1177 00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:31,040 Speaker 13: I what I think you're The main thing you have 1178 00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 13: is new right there with the new guys. I think 1179 00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:36,880 Speaker 13: Taylor rat I think he's going to play a really 1180 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,920 Speaker 13: important role, like I think on the third downs. I 1181 00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:42,280 Speaker 13: think Tyrol Dotson went to the middle live every competition 1182 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:44,279 Speaker 13: and I think I turn down. Maybe they feel a 1183 00:56:44,280 --> 00:56:48,560 Speaker 13: lot wrapping there a lot. Also, Leonard Floyd is a 1184 00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 13: new addition to us. I think he's going to play 1185 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:53,399 Speaker 13: a biggotational role. But you know, given a bond, right, 1186 00:56:53,520 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 13: I mean he's obviously the number one difference naked trade A. 1187 00:56:57,120 --> 00:56:59,400 Speaker 13: He's gonna be back to his off form. Man Malana 1188 00:56:59,480 --> 00:57:03,160 Speaker 13: might be player the year. Who knows so? Russo Leonard 1189 00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:07,120 Speaker 13: Floyd too. If I think they all played big role, all. 1190 00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:07,840 Speaker 4: Right, I like that. 1191 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:12,000 Speaker 2: Justin, thanks for the call. What do we make of 1192 00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,040 Speaker 2: Leonard Floyd? You and I were talking about and watching 1193 00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:18,640 Speaker 2: practice today. I'm still stupefied that the Bills were able 1194 00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:22,440 Speaker 2: to get a guy of his caliber in June for 1195 00:57:22,600 --> 00:57:25,320 Speaker 2: seven million dollars on a one year deal. I mean, 1196 00:57:26,160 --> 00:57:31,360 Speaker 2: I was just telling you last weekend, Yannikin Gockway signs 1197 00:57:31,360 --> 00:57:33,800 Speaker 2: for ten and a half million on a one year deal. 1198 00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,120 Speaker 2: This guy signed back in June for three million less 1199 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,520 Speaker 2: than that, and I think he's a better player. 1200 00:57:39,560 --> 00:57:44,760 Speaker 1: I think it's that's what free agency is. You got 1201 00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:47,400 Speaker 1: a guy like Leonard Floyd who has some skins on 1202 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: the wall and has done some things in the league 1203 00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:55,200 Speaker 1: and is in his own space, making his own decisions. 1204 00:57:56,000 --> 00:57:59,080 Speaker 1: And he comes out. He knows he left the Rams 1205 00:57:59,120 --> 00:58:03,360 Speaker 1: because it's they were dumping salaries. He knows, he's known 1206 00:58:03,400 --> 00:58:05,960 Speaker 1: around the league. And he sat back and he said, Okay, 1207 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:08,880 Speaker 1: what am I Because I played on the Super Bowl 1208 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,720 Speaker 1: team and then I played on one that was not. 1209 00:58:14,520 --> 00:58:17,000 Speaker 3: I'd rather play on one that is. You know. 1210 00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 1: So he's back there sitting sitting down saying okay, he 1211 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:23,600 Speaker 1: and I he just said, listen, horrid, if I there's 1212 00:58:23,600 --> 00:58:26,280 Speaker 1: no guarantees, he could go to Kansas City, he could 1213 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:29,120 Speaker 1: go to Cincinnati, he could go to the Jets. He 1214 00:58:29,160 --> 00:58:31,840 Speaker 1: could go to Philly, he could go to San Francisco, 1215 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:34,040 Speaker 1: and he'd come to Buffalo. All those teams thrown in 1216 00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 1: the hat, you know that picked two of them, one 1217 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:38,680 Speaker 1: from each conference, and maybe, you know, maybe you got 1218 00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: a good chance of the super Bowl. And that's where 1219 00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:43,640 Speaker 1: he's at and he's thinking, okay, and he picked up 1220 00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:46,160 Speaker 1: the phone. He called Vaughan because he played with Vaughn 1221 00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:50,680 Speaker 1: for a minute, called Taylor Rap. He said, how is 1222 00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:53,080 Speaker 1: it you've been to OTAs this was, you know, a 1223 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:53,800 Speaker 1: month or two ago. 1224 00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:56,080 Speaker 3: You guys have been around. What's it like over there? 1225 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:59,920 Speaker 1: And Vaughn gave him the story of his year in Buffalo, 1226 00:59:00,840 --> 00:59:04,160 Speaker 1: Taylor Apps gave him his early impressions after OTA's and stuff, 1227 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: and he said, all right, that's it. There's no more. 1228 00:59:08,800 --> 00:59:10,440 Speaker 1: I don't think it's any more complicated than that. A 1229 00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:14,240 Speaker 1: one year deal, come in here, get on another chance 1230 00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,680 Speaker 1: at the ring and go and then reset it again 1231 00:59:17,720 --> 00:59:19,680 Speaker 1: next year and go out back on the market, maybe 1232 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:22,360 Speaker 1: get a big deal or at least another one year 1233 00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,640 Speaker 1: deal with hefty money. So I think that's it's no 1234 00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,080 Speaker 1: more complicated than that. These guys are sitting with Yaniking 1235 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,760 Speaker 1: Gockway's perfect example. They're sitting back going, all right, I 1236 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,600 Speaker 1: know we're gonna get I'm gonna be somewhere where do 1237 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 1: I really want to play? Because if it's within twenty 1238 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:41,480 Speaker 1: percent of every other offer, man, I'm going to someplace 1239 00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:43,479 Speaker 1: where I got a shot at it, because you're gonna 1240 00:59:43,480 --> 00:59:46,520 Speaker 1: get playoff money on top of it. And then you 1241 00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:48,640 Speaker 1: always get that chance that maybe you string a couple 1242 00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,160 Speaker 1: three games together and you're you're standing there with Lombardi. 1243 00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:53,840 Speaker 1: So I think it's no more complicated than in Gocway 1244 00:59:54,120 --> 00:59:56,760 Speaker 1: and also Leonard Floyd. It is amazing that those guys 1245 00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,120 Speaker 1: are out there, but I think that's a function of 1246 00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:01,880 Speaker 1: free agency and where these guys are at. They're smart 1247 01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,280 Speaker 1: enough now it's been around long enough. They come up 1248 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: through the ranks in college and they talk to guys 1249 01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,800 Speaker 1: they're training with, They talked to great players, they rub 1250 01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:11,840 Speaker 1: up against von Miller's Pass Rush Summit, they talk to 1251 01:00:11,880 --> 01:00:14,560 Speaker 1: guys at the at the sb's They get around and 1252 01:00:14,560 --> 01:00:17,600 Speaker 1: they think, okay, all right, I'm just gonna pick my 1253 01:00:17,640 --> 01:00:21,960 Speaker 1: spot rather than you know, leverage it and you know, 1254 01:00:22,120 --> 01:00:26,120 Speaker 1: tweet and wipe my wipe the rams off my social media. 1255 01:00:26,200 --> 01:00:29,040 Speaker 3: I ain't do it. They said, where all play and 1256 01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:29,880 Speaker 3: they take the deal? 1257 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:33,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, I really did. 1258 01:00:33,640 --> 01:00:35,720 Speaker 1: I love that. I love that aspect of it because 1259 01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:39,160 Speaker 1: that was that was so far. That was light years 1260 01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:40,920 Speaker 1: from the mindset of the guys I played with. 1261 01:00:40,920 --> 01:00:43,400 Speaker 2: It wasn't long ago where the Bills had to overpay 1262 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,960 Speaker 2: Tier two free agents and Tier three free agents just 1263 01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:52,480 Speaker 2: to come here. That's right, Larry Triplett, Derek Dockery, Langston Walker. 1264 01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:56,320 Speaker 2: They overpaid to get those guys to play here. 1265 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:00,240 Speaker 3: Winning helps everything out. 1266 01:01:00,440 --> 01:01:03,120 Speaker 1: And I'm it's not just it's not just Josh Allen's 1267 01:01:03,200 --> 01:01:03,920 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. 1268 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:04,880 Speaker 4: Now they're get Brandon Bean. 1269 01:01:04,960 --> 01:01:06,880 Speaker 2: Now, they're getting the guy with thirty sacks the last 1270 01:01:06,880 --> 01:01:09,080 Speaker 2: three years to play for seven million dollars. 1271 01:01:09,240 --> 01:01:10,560 Speaker 3: I mean, and they only get him, and they only 1272 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,080 Speaker 3: get him for one year.

He is like and let's go. 1308 01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:41,400 Speaker 2: And we had Daiquon on the show last week and 1309 01:02:41,440 --> 01:02:43,760 Speaker 2: we were asking him about Ed and we said, you know, 1310 01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:47,280 Speaker 2: he seems happier, Like what's going on there, Like what's 1311 01:02:47,320 --> 01:02:50,560 Speaker 2: what's changed? And he said he was a little mad 1312 01:02:50,720 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 2: last year that he didn't get an extension last year 1313 01:02:54,600 --> 01:02:56,160 Speaker 2: because if you look at a lot of the top 1314 01:02:56,200 --> 01:02:59,440 Speaker 2: picks for this team, a lot of them sign an 1315 01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 2: extension going into the final year of their rookie contract 1316 01:03:03,440 --> 01:03:07,680 Speaker 2: prior to the fifty year option, right, and Dawson Knox 1317 01:03:07,720 --> 01:03:11,760 Speaker 2: did that, and there were a couple others. Tarren Johnson 1318 01:03:11,840 --> 01:03:16,840 Speaker 2: was another one. So I think he was kind of 1319 01:03:16,880 --> 01:03:19,920 Speaker 2: expecting that and then it didn't happen. So I think 1320 01:03:19,960 --> 01:03:24,040 Speaker 2: he was a little agitated by that last year based 1321 01:03:24,040 --> 01:03:26,520 Speaker 2: on what the day Kuon was telling us. And so 1322 01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,600 Speaker 2: when that when that extension finally did come through, I 1323 01:03:30,600 --> 01:03:35,000 Speaker 2: think it just totally flipped his mindset and outlook about 1324 01:03:35,000 --> 01:03:39,120 Speaker 2: his future with this football team. And now he didn't 1325 01:03:39,120 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 2: practice today because he's got some back soreness, But I 1326 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:47,200 Speaker 2: think his entire disposition has changed about approaching the game. 1327 01:03:47,320 --> 01:03:50,560 Speaker 2: And we heard from Eric Washington earlier in this training camp. 1328 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:52,920 Speaker 4: Stephen, what did he say? He said, Ed has all 1329 01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:54,760 Speaker 4: the talent in the world to play at this level. 1330 01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:00,000 Speaker 2: What we need him to do now is to play 1331 01:03:59,680 --> 01:04:04,840 Speaker 2: an anticipatory style and use his brain to get to 1332 01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:08,840 Speaker 2: spots faster, to make more plays than he already makes 1333 01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:10,080 Speaker 2: on a more consistent basis. 1334 01:04:10,120 --> 01:04:11,960 Speaker 4: And that's the leap he's got to take it. 1335 01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,880 Speaker 1: He seems like he's in a really good place mentally. 1336 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:17,440 Speaker 3: I'm with you. 1337 01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:19,840 Speaker 1: And despite the back pain that he's not practicing with 1338 01:04:19,880 --> 01:04:21,320 Speaker 1: the day, I mean, it's not like he didn't do anything. 1339 01:04:21,320 --> 01:04:23,240 Speaker 1: They had him out there breaking a sweat today, even 1340 01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:28,680 Speaker 1: doing some stuff that didn't stress his back. But you 1341 01:04:28,720 --> 01:04:31,520 Speaker 1: can picture anybody can picture themselves get into a spot 1342 01:04:31,560 --> 01:04:35,840 Speaker 1: where all of a sudden, the people they work with 1343 01:04:35,960 --> 01:04:39,040 Speaker 1: and work around do something in this case of contract 1344 01:04:39,160 --> 01:04:42,840 Speaker 1: extension with you know, really good money, and you look 1345 01:04:42,840 --> 01:04:45,160 Speaker 1: around and get wow, I really, you know, I do 1346 01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:45,840 Speaker 1: belong here. 1347 01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:48,280 Speaker 3: This is my spot there. They don't have any doubts 1348 01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:48,640 Speaker 3: about me. 1349 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:48,960 Speaker 6: You know. 1350 01:04:49,040 --> 01:04:53,120 Speaker 1: You can picture Ed and the rhetoric, right, you could 1351 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:54,840 Speaker 1: just go around and around with how how he was 1352 01:04:54,880 --> 01:04:57,720 Speaker 1: and then the outside nor the fans and how they 1353 01:04:57,720 --> 01:05:00,040 Speaker 1: were kind of come on, Ed, you know, get and 1354 01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:02,720 Speaker 1: and to have the team say no, Ed, you're you're 1355 01:05:02,720 --> 01:05:05,120 Speaker 1: our guy, sign this deal, let's go. 1356 01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,920 Speaker 3: We want you here. To have the relief and the kind. 1357 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:13,280 Speaker 1: Of the exuberance of having somebody give you a big 1358 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,360 Speaker 1: vote of confidence. I think he's feeling that right now. 1359 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,200 Speaker 1: I think he was feeling that during during the early 1360 01:05:18,240 --> 01:05:21,120 Speaker 1: part of camp, and I. 1361 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:22,960 Speaker 3: Think it shows. I think it's really shown in his. 1362 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,840 Speaker 4: Play back to the phones. We go and to mark 1363 01:05:26,880 --> 01:05:28,720 Speaker 4: an Orchard Park next, what do you got for us? Mark? 1364 01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:30,440 Speaker 11: Hello? 1365 01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:31,120 Speaker 16: Are you there? 1366 01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, We're here ahead. 1367 01:05:34,720 --> 01:05:34,800 Speaker 6: Oh. 1368 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:35,720 Speaker 1: Well. 1369 01:05:35,800 --> 01:05:37,600 Speaker 16: The first thing I want to say is, you know, 1370 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:40,680 Speaker 16: this isn't my first time on the show, so I've 1371 01:05:40,720 --> 01:05:44,400 Speaker 16: been on there four or five times.

Who made 1382 01:06:16,080 --> 01:06:20,240 Speaker 16: that call? Was it Leslie Fraser or Sean McDermott that 1383 01:06:20,280 --> 01:06:23,800 Speaker 16: we backed up and we didn't put any pressure on there? 1384 01:06:24,400 --> 01:06:24,800 Speaker 6: Thank you? 1385 01:06:26,240 --> 01:06:29,000 Speaker 4: Okay, fair enough, thanks for the call. 1386 01:06:29,080 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 16: Mark. 1387 01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,480 Speaker 1: That's gonna leave us that that game left a bigger 1388 01:06:31,520 --> 01:06:33,200 Speaker 1: scar than just about any game. 1389 01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:36,240 Speaker 3: It's it's up there, maybe wide right, it's bigger. 1390 01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:39,520 Speaker 2: Maybe, yeah, it's not far behind it though, Music City Miracle. 1391 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:41,640 Speaker 3: I think it's this generation probably wide right. 1392 01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:45,560 Speaker 1: Music City Miracle. It might be third, yeah, maybe might 1393 01:06:45,600 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 1: be third. Maybe this generation it is, it's wide right, 1394 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:52,040 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Ever, a generation's got its disappointment. 1395 01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,280 Speaker 1: We've all Buffalo Bills fans are like ninety percent Scar tissue, 1396 01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:57,640 Speaker 1: you know. 1397 01:06:58,360 --> 01:06:59,200 Speaker 4: So uh. 1398 01:07:00,920 --> 01:07:03,960 Speaker 3: Yeah maybe, but and I couldn't tell you. 1399 01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,720 Speaker 1: I don't think any The club has been a little 1400 01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,760 Speaker 1: bit mum about what happened on that. The players have 1401 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:13,760 Speaker 1: have owned up to it, some saying hey, and rightfully so. 1402 01:07:13,800 --> 01:07:15,680 Speaker 1: Some of the players have said, hey, it was me. 1403 01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:18,040 Speaker 1: If I'd have done this, I'd ha been this. And 1404 01:07:18,080 --> 01:07:21,080 Speaker 1: they do it to themselves, you know, they take credit 1405 01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 1: for it and blame themselves. So I don't know if 1406 01:07:22,840 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 1: we'll ever get to the bottom of what happened at 1407 01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 1: the end of the game. Yeah, we may find there 1408 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:31,720 Speaker 1: was a confluence of mistakes in my opinion, and starting 1409 01:07:31,720 --> 01:07:32,760 Speaker 1: with the kickoffs. 1410 01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:36,520 Speaker 2: Right, let's get back to the phones. Dominic and Buffalo 1411 01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:37,040 Speaker 2: is up next. 1412 01:07:37,040 --> 01:07:39,760 Speaker 14: What do you got for his Dominic and gentlemen, thanks 1413 01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 14: for taking a call, just like Mark Sending and a 1414 01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:44,680 Speaker 14: lot of other people. Eighty nine for Hall of Fame 1415 01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,840 Speaker 14: all day, every day. I just want to say, Greg 1416 01:07:47,880 --> 01:07:51,000 Speaker 14: Russow is the obvious answer here. But Leonard Floyd, I 1417 01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:53,920 Speaker 14: believe is going to be an absolute beast. He's going 1418 01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:57,479 Speaker 14: to be back to his pull bowl form, especially playing 1419 01:07:57,520 --> 01:07:59,240 Speaker 14: opposite the von Miller, and I think you know, you 1420 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:01,120 Speaker 14: know this is flash shot. I think he's going to 1421 01:08:01,240 --> 01:08:03,240 Speaker 14: leave it all out there on the field, and to 1422 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,440 Speaker 14: a surprise to a lot of people. I believe despite 1423 01:08:05,480 --> 01:08:09,280 Speaker 14: having two third round draft picks, that linebacker Bayalin Spector 1424 01:08:09,320 --> 01:08:11,520 Speaker 14: ends up winning that job. I watched that kid in 1425 01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,000 Speaker 14: the practice on fighting. He's a lot bigger than I thought, 1426 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,320 Speaker 14: and I think a football IQ is a lot higher 1427 01:08:17,320 --> 01:08:19,000 Speaker 14: than a lot of people might give him credit for it. 1428 01:08:19,040 --> 01:08:20,720 Speaker 14: I'm not quite sure if it's true or not, but 1429 01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:22,840 Speaker 14: he just seems like he might be the real deal 1430 01:08:22,880 --> 01:08:25,080 Speaker 14: out there and learning from Milano and all these other 1431 01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,880 Speaker 14: veterans out there, you know, all the talk is about 1432 01:08:27,920 --> 01:08:30,240 Speaker 14: the those offenses just should be that's where the leaks at. 1433 01:08:30,280 --> 01:08:32,559 Speaker 14: And we got an all world quarterback and wide receiver. 1434 01:08:33,080 --> 01:08:36,599 Speaker 14: But with our rotation and our depth and all pros 1435 01:08:36,640 --> 01:08:40,000 Speaker 14: at every level on this defense, the biggest challenge for 1436 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,280 Speaker 14: the opposing team is going to be their offensive coordinator 1437 01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:44,400 Speaker 14: scheming against these guys. They're not going to know where 1438 01:08:44,400 --> 01:08:46,960 Speaker 14: the heck these guys are coming from, what they're looking for, 1439 01:08:47,080 --> 01:08:49,200 Speaker 14: what they're looking at, and we end up finishing in 1440 01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:54,080 Speaker 14: the top five in quarterback prushers, sacks, and interceptions as 1441 01:08:54,120 --> 01:08:55,439 Speaker 14: we go to the end of the season in the 1442 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:57,080 Speaker 14: hoist at Lombardi Trophy this year. 1443 01:08:58,840 --> 01:09:01,800 Speaker 2: All right, there you go the passion dominic. He's fired up, man, 1444 01:09:01,840 --> 01:09:04,479 Speaker 2: he's ready for the regular season. I mean, I will 1445 01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:09,160 Speaker 2: say that, And Steve and I have talked about this. 1446 01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,599 Speaker 2: With Sean McDermott calling the plays, I think the general 1447 01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 2: consensus is there could be at times more aggressive play 1448 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:21,720 Speaker 2: calling under coach McDermott. That is what the history is, 1449 01:09:22,520 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 2: you know, in terms of you know, scheming things and 1450 01:09:29,479 --> 01:09:32,880 Speaker 2: trying to be more unpredictable with the defense. As Dominic said, 1451 01:09:33,120 --> 01:09:38,200 Speaker 2: where pressures coming from to you know, discern, Hey, how 1452 01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,040 Speaker 2: are we going to block this up? I think they're 1453 01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,280 Speaker 2: going to throw some curveballs more than we've seen in 1454 01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:47,840 Speaker 2: recent years at opposing offenses. That should translate into confusion, 1455 01:09:48,160 --> 01:09:52,360 Speaker 2: hurried throws, interceptions, sacks. When Sean McDermott was the d 1456 01:09:52,560 --> 01:09:57,559 Speaker 2: C in Carolina, their team was routinely in the top 1457 01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,840 Speaker 2: five in sacks and takeaways. That's not by accident. Now, 1458 01:10:01,880 --> 01:10:04,280 Speaker 2: they had some horses down there too. I mean, you're 1459 01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,439 Speaker 2: you know, you're talking about some really really good players 1460 01:10:07,479 --> 01:10:11,280 Speaker 2: down there, whether it's Luke Heithley, Julius. 1461 01:10:10,840 --> 01:10:13,760 Speaker 4: Peppersae Peppers was a people like that. 1462 01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:16,639 Speaker 3: So Peppers was a space alien. He was so gifted. Yes, 1463 01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:18,200 Speaker 3: you know there's some guys like that out there. 1464 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:21,040 Speaker 2: But the point is well taken and and I think 1465 01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:23,840 Speaker 2: it could make this defense. And Steve has said this, 1466 01:10:24,439 --> 01:10:27,479 Speaker 2: while they may not be number one in yards allowed 1467 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:30,280 Speaker 2: to be the number one defense in the league, they 1468 01:10:30,320 --> 01:10:31,880 Speaker 2: may be near the top of the league in splash 1469 01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,080 Speaker 2: plays in terms of takeaways and sacks. 1470 01:10:33,840 --> 01:10:36,960 Speaker 1: Right, I mean, that's what we'd like, I mean, you know, 1471 01:10:37,040 --> 01:10:39,000 Speaker 1: and I'm and I get it. It's the casual fan. 1472 01:10:39,040 --> 01:10:41,040 Speaker 1: The Bill's defense last year was it was good, but 1473 01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:43,960 Speaker 1: it was you know, okay, I want to see Josh 1474 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,679 Speaker 1: Allen get off the kind of get off the field. 1475 01:10:45,680 --> 01:10:48,040 Speaker 1: You know, you didn't really you weren't with baited breath 1476 01:10:48,040 --> 01:10:51,120 Speaker 1: waiting for the next sack and the sack, strip, fumble, interception, 1477 01:10:51,200 --> 01:10:53,599 Speaker 1: you know, tipped interception, all that stuff. It just didn't 1478 01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,800 Speaker 1: happen all that often, or at least not in the 1479 01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 1: moments where you'd remember it. And and I think Bills 1480 01:10:59,080 --> 01:11:01,680 Speaker 1: fans are kind of hungry one of those big play defenses. 1481 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:08,679 Speaker 1: Having said that, this defensive front, and we've talked about it, 1482 01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,840 Speaker 1: I think the offensive line of the Bills is much better, 1483 01:11:10,960 --> 01:11:13,679 Speaker 1: but it doesn't look at against this front. These guys 1484 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:17,439 Speaker 1: are They've got a wide range of skills. Sets Pooniford, Day, 1485 01:11:17,479 --> 01:11:22,120 Speaker 1: Kwon Jones, ed Oliver down inside along with Jordan Phillips, 1486 01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:26,120 Speaker 1: sim they got some dudes and the guys on. 1487 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:28,320 Speaker 4: The kitchen, Kendall Vickers flashed, I know. 1488 01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:29,559 Speaker 3: All these guys. 1489 01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:32,800 Speaker 1: So they got some guys who can really disrupt. And 1490 01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,200 Speaker 1: I think with Sean McDermott. And right now they're still 1491 01:11:35,240 --> 01:11:37,920 Speaker 1: pouring one test tube into the other, finding right chemistry, 1492 01:11:38,320 --> 01:11:41,519 Speaker 1: finding the right mix, guys who like to work together, 1493 01:11:41,560 --> 01:11:43,599 Speaker 1: who can work together, who are good at working together, 1494 01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:47,280 Speaker 1: seem to click with each other. All of that's possible 1495 01:11:47,320 --> 01:11:51,519 Speaker 1: in there, and I think they're still experimenting with that. 1496 01:11:52,560 --> 01:11:56,640 Speaker 1: But I think Sean McDermott has a chance with this 1497 01:11:57,000 --> 01:12:01,360 Speaker 1: to really put a bunch of combinations out there that 1498 01:12:01,680 --> 01:12:04,040 Speaker 1: really forced the offense to. 1499 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 3: Go, Okay, wait a minute, now, wait a minute, Wait 1500 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:06,280 Speaker 3: a minute. 1501 01:12:06,600 --> 01:12:08,760 Speaker 1: You know the quarterbacks can be looking over here and 1502 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,360 Speaker 1: he's gonna have a protect We've got a protection problem. 1503 01:12:11,880 --> 01:12:15,840 Speaker 1: And a telltale sign will be if if whoever it 1504 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 1: is and on on the game on on, you know 1505 01:12:20,360 --> 01:12:23,080 Speaker 1: this kid rich Stroud or whoever it is in Indianapolis, 1506 01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:27,280 Speaker 1: whoever the Bills are playing Anthony Richardson, If they're back 1507 01:12:27,320 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 1: there and he's like this looking around and he starts 1508 01:12:29,960 --> 01:12:32,000 Speaker 1: bringing guys in off the edge to stand next to 1509 01:12:32,080 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 1: him to pass protect, you know they got a problems. 1510 01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:38,519 Speaker 1: That's that's a tailtale sign when a quarterback's back there 1511 01:12:38,560 --> 01:12:41,920 Speaker 1: and he's like, hey, he's motioning a guy because he 1512 01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:42,840 Speaker 1: said protect me. 1513 01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,920 Speaker 4: I got a problem, and over here, I need a bodyguard. 1514 01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:47,559 Speaker 3: Right, So that'll tell. 1515 01:12:47,680 --> 01:12:51,639 Speaker 1: That'll be a tailtale sign as to how much respect 1516 01:12:51,880 --> 01:12:55,400 Speaker 1: teams have for Bill's defense.

New York has. 1786 01:23:59,439 --> 01:24:01,000 Speaker 1: And I don't know how to describe it other than this, 1787 01:24:01,200 --> 01:24:02,920 Speaker 1: you can do you hear a New York guy brown. 1788 01:24:03,320 --> 01:24:07,519 Speaker 1: It's the weight of expectations that go along with the 1789 01:24:07,560 --> 01:24:12,679 Speaker 1: team and it is a an experienced, knowledgeable football crowd 1790 01:24:13,439 --> 01:24:16,959 Speaker 1: that refuse to cheer just to cheer. 1791 01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,800 Speaker 4: The standard it is championship. 1792 01:24:21,439 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 3: I have made the derogative. 1793 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:25,519 Speaker 1: I've always made the joke, you know, in the time 1794 01:24:25,560 --> 01:24:27,760 Speaker 1: that I played, you know, with the Bills and we 1795 01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:33,080 Speaker 1: played the Jets a ton as an opposing player. The 1796 01:24:33,120 --> 01:24:35,760 Speaker 1: New York Jet fans, and they've been through it, let's 1797 01:24:35,800 --> 01:24:38,439 Speaker 1: face it. I mean, they've been through it. They are 1798 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,800 Speaker 1: happiest when they have a good reason to boo their 1799 01:24:41,840 --> 01:24:46,120 Speaker 1: own team. That's their wheelhouse to me. And I say 1800 01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:48,280 Speaker 1: that kind of in a joking manner, but man, oh man, 1801 01:24:48,360 --> 01:24:49,800 Speaker 1: they don't. They do not hold back. 1802 01:24:49,880 --> 01:24:53,320 Speaker 3: I'm high. When they're high on them, they're high on them. 1803 01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,080 Speaker 1: And when they're low on them, man, they will beat 1804 01:24:55,120 --> 01:24:56,800 Speaker 1: their own team with a stick. 1805 01:24:56,479 --> 01:25:02,040 Speaker 2: I remember reading about the early Sabers years. I think 1806 01:25:02,040 --> 01:25:04,320 Speaker 2: it was after the seventy two to seventy three season. 1807 01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,960 Speaker 2: Sabers went to the playoffs and, like their third season 1808 01:25:07,000 --> 01:25:08,519 Speaker 2: in existence, made. 1809 01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:11,280 Speaker 4: A nice run but didn't get all the way right. 1810 01:25:11,360 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 2: And you know there's that famous fan reaction where they're clapping, 1811 01:25:15,560 --> 01:25:18,040 Speaker 2: you know, after they lose the series to whomever it was, 1812 01:25:18,560 --> 01:25:20,920 Speaker 2: Thank you, Sabers was the champ. Thank you say that 1813 01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:24,960 Speaker 2: whole thing. Buffalo fans do that, right. New York fans 1814 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:26,640 Speaker 2: don't do They do not do that, not unless you 1815 01:25:26,640 --> 01:25:28,439 Speaker 2: win the whole thing. And if you win the whole thing, 1816 01:25:29,439 --> 01:25:32,000 Speaker 2: you are iconic and you are remembered forever. 1817 01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:33,759 Speaker 4: That's right in that city. 1818 01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,919 Speaker 2: Just ask Joe Namath, who only won two more playoff 1819 01:25:36,960 --> 01:25:38,240 Speaker 2: games after the Super Bowl. 1820 01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,320 Speaker 4: I mean, that's it. 1821 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:41,080 Speaker 3: Here's the thing. 1822 01:25:41,200 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 4: So remember what's he remembered for? 1823 01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,280 Speaker 1: Super Bowl guaranteed, super Bowl three guarantee. That's it's It's 1824 01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,280 Speaker 1: true because you go back and look at Joe NAMA's 1825 01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:52,479 Speaker 1: career in context, even in the context of when he played, 1826 01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:57,479 Speaker 1: he was he was okay, yeah, statistically. 1827 01:25:56,880 --> 01:25:59,040 Speaker 2: I mean he was throwing four thousand yards a season, 1828 01:25:59,080 --> 01:26:03,439 Speaker 2: which at that point was relatively rare. But beyond that, 1829 01:26:03,439 --> 01:26:04,639 Speaker 2: go look at his playoff record. 1830 01:26:05,479 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 4: It's not Hall of Fame. 1831 01:26:06,439 --> 01:26:11,280 Speaker 1: Work at his touchdown interceptions record and his completion percentage 1832 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,439 Speaker 1: and all that, you know, But man, man, the dude 1833 01:26:14,520 --> 01:26:17,280 Speaker 1: won the won that. He won that game once and 1834 01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:19,680 Speaker 1: he's remembered for it, and and and he's a and 1835 01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:20,280 Speaker 1: I love the guy. 1836 01:26:20,320 --> 01:26:23,600 Speaker 3: He's great. So but that's the way it is in 1837 01:26:23,640 --> 01:26:24,120 Speaker 3: that city. 1838 01:26:24,680 --> 01:26:28,960 Speaker 1: And I think I would think, being the guy I 1839 01:26:29,000 --> 01:26:31,120 Speaker 1: am in my experience, it would be the same in Buffalo. 1840 01:26:31,360 --> 01:26:34,080 Speaker 1: I mean you look at Jim Thurman, Bruce and I 1841 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:37,720 Speaker 1: mean people you those guys still get stopped, you know. 1842 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,080 Speaker 1: So yeah, it's I think it would be the same 1843 01:26:41,080 --> 01:26:43,360 Speaker 1: in Buffalo as it is there, But everything else maybe 1844 01:26:43,400 --> 01:26:43,800 Speaker 1: maybe not. 1845 01:26:43,880 --> 01:26:46,920 Speaker 4: So yeah, we have to take a break here. 1846 01:26:47,160 --> 01:26:49,320 Speaker 2: One more segment to go here on One Bill's Live, 1847 01:26:49,360 --> 01:26:50,439 Speaker 2: presented by a Colid of Health. 1848 01:26:50,479 --> 01:27:03,240 Speaker 4: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. Here a training can back here 1849 01:27:03,280 --> 01:27:04,240 Speaker 4: on One Bill's Live. 1850 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:06,639 Speaker 2: Skies have opened up here at training camp at Saint 1851 01:27:06,720 --> 01:27:07,400 Speaker 2: John Fisher. 1852 01:27:07,400 --> 01:27:09,679 Speaker 4: It is pouring right now here. 1853 01:27:09,760 --> 01:27:11,720 Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with You're going to take one 1854 01:27:11,760 --> 01:27:13,639 Speaker 2: final call go to Debbie and Hamburg. 1855 01:27:13,680 --> 01:27:16,599 Speaker 22: What do you got for his Debbie, Hi, gentlemen, thanks 1856 01:27:16,640 --> 01:27:20,200 Speaker 22: for taking my call. I really love the shows. I 1857 01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,040 Speaker 22: think it's a combination of things, you know. I think 1858 01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:27,479 Speaker 22: having some of our players back healthy on the defensive unit, 1859 01:27:27,960 --> 01:27:31,000 Speaker 22: the new editions, and to me, I think it's going 1860 01:27:31,040 --> 01:27:34,759 Speaker 22: to be Sean McDermott calling place to take that defense 1861 01:27:34,800 --> 01:27:37,599 Speaker 22: to the next level. Thanks so much, appreciate it. 1862 01:27:38,640 --> 01:27:39,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, no problem. 1863 01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,519 Speaker 2: And you know, we had kind of gotten into that 1864 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:45,559 Speaker 2: already a little bit, Steve. I think we're all eagerly 1865 01:27:45,600 --> 01:27:48,559 Speaker 2: anticipating to see the effect that Sean McDermott's play calling 1866 01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,040 Speaker 2: will have on this defense. More importantly, we asked him 1867 01:27:52,040 --> 01:27:56,599 Speaker 2: today about how he is delegating the different responsibilities, because 1868 01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,880 Speaker 2: there are times he wants to get into the details 1869 01:27:59,280 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 2: with his defense players, but then has head coaching responsibility. 1870 01:28:03,600 --> 01:28:05,040 Speaker 4: So he's got to delegate some of that. 1871 01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:08,080 Speaker 2: Whether it's Al Holcom or Eric Washington or Bobby Bavage 1872 01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:11,760 Speaker 2: or John Butler, whoever it is, He's still navigating some 1873 01:28:11,800 --> 01:28:12,360 Speaker 2: of that right now. 1874 01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:13,400 Speaker 3: I think that's a big deal. 1875 01:28:13,800 --> 01:28:15,599 Speaker 1: I think, in fact, if you could make the case 1876 01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:18,800 Speaker 1: that to expect the defense to come out and be 1877 01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,960 Speaker 1: gangbusters right out of the gate. May be hard to 1878 01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,880 Speaker 1: get your mind around. They may stumble out because because 1879 01:28:23,920 --> 01:28:26,120 Speaker 1: of the logistics of the head coach calling defensive plays, 1880 01:28:26,120 --> 01:28:27,559 Speaker 1: he hasn't done it and why he's never done it 1881 01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:30,760 Speaker 1: as a head coach, and to make to do a 1882 01:28:30,760 --> 01:28:33,040 Speaker 1: whole game where you've got to take say, hey, listen, 1883 01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,439 Speaker 1: take this series. I got to go back and talk 1884 01:28:35,479 --> 01:28:37,800 Speaker 1: to these guys or somebody you know, make the call 1885 01:28:37,840 --> 01:28:39,760 Speaker 1: on timeouts because I gotta have my back to the field, 1886 01:28:39,800 --> 01:28:42,120 Speaker 1: because I got to talk to my middle linebacker or 1887 01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:45,200 Speaker 1: the defensive line. It's hard for as a defensive coordinator 1888 01:28:45,200 --> 01:28:47,519 Speaker 1: to go back talk to the guys and get the 1889 01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:50,600 Speaker 1: details of what they're seeing so you can infuse it 1890 01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:53,000 Speaker 1: into your play calling, while you got to watch the 1891 01:28:53,080 --> 01:28:56,800 Speaker 1: offense and get them straight squared away. So there's a 1892 01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,800 Speaker 1: lot in this, and it may be if they do 1893 01:28:58,880 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 1: get out to a stumbled start, this may have as 1894 01:29:00,479 --> 01:29:01,479 Speaker 1: much to do with it as anything. 1895 01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, but they're knowing how McDermott sweats the details. I'm 1896 01:29:04,320 --> 01:29:07,280 Speaker 2: not anticipating that to be an issue going forward. 1897 01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,280 Speaker 4: That's it for us today. We'll be in studio at 1898 01:29:09,280 --> 01:29:10,880 Speaker 4: One Bill's Drive tomorrow. 1899 01:29:11,400 --> 01:29:14,000 Speaker 2: So be sure to tune in at one Happy birthday 1900 01:29:14,040 --> 01:29:16,479 Speaker 2: to my lovely wife who's still young and beautiful, to 1901 01:29:16,520 --> 01:29:17,040 Speaker 2: see you later.
