1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the fields,

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve, a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:26,360
Speaker 1: the strated bear of normalcy here. All right, let's get

5
00:00:26,400 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: this thing rolling here on a Monday, the final Monday

6
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: of Bill's training camp at Saint John Fisher. They will

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:38,560
Speaker 1: obviously continue their preseason preparations back at one Bill's Drive

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,320
Speaker 1: next week at this time. So final Monday here at

9
00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 1: Saint John Fisher University for the team. They have a

10
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: day off tomorrow after going in pads long practice today

11
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 1: and too long. You can tell I was tired. You

12
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: can tell people are getting a little weary of the

13
00:00:55,520 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 1: camp experience. They're too tired to even fight. Yes, but

14
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:03,240
Speaker 1: not all teams are as. We'll get into in a second. Steve,

15
00:01:03,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: how was your weekend? All too short? Brownie? No, it

16
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 1: was good, busy all that stuff. You know, we take

17
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: a break. We don't have the show on Saturday Sunday,

18
00:01:14,319 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: so you know we're not we don't come over to

19
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 1: training or here to Rochester. So I got some things

20
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,800
Speaker 1: done around the house and it was good. It was

21
00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:23,560
Speaker 1: a good weekend. Yeah, I had my wife's birthday yesterday,

22
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 1: so I always skipped training camp on that day. I'm

23
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,720
Speaker 1: not a dummy. So we had a nice little birthday

24
00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 1: to get together. We were in the pool, and what

25
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:33,560
Speaker 1: a day to be in the pool. My man needs

26
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: some ice in the pool. As enjoyable as that was,

27
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: it was somewhat clouded by home ownership issues, shall we say,

28
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: in the span of approximately one week, Steve, the following

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: has happened at my place of residence. A broken basement

30
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Speaker 1: window broken ba how does a basement window get in?

31
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: That's just kinda I dropped a chair and the leg

32
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,120
Speaker 1: smacked into the and window and crack the thing. So

33
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 1: I gotta replace on the outside of the house. Yeah,

34
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: on my back patio again, so that was on me.

35
00:02:08,680 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 1: My dryer gave up, the belts snapped on the thing

36
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: so it doesn't turn anymore. And then the filtration system

37
00:02:18,760 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 1: for my pool. I have a drip leak in one

38
00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:24,519
Speaker 1: of my PVC pipes, which is not good if you

39
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:26,880
Speaker 1: own a pool. This has all happened in the span

40
00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: of a weekend. I do not own a pool for

41
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: those that very reason, but I do own them like

42
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: a water dryer, a dryer, and so I decide I'm

43
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: gonna try to troubleshoot the dryer thing. I'm gonna see

44
00:02:39,600 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 1: if I can find out what's wrong to at least

45
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: diagnose it right. So I'm just trying to get the

46
00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,160
Speaker 1: housing off the bottom of the dang dryer. Pop the

47
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:50,600
Speaker 1: bottom part off, just so I can look under and

48
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,919
Speaker 1: see if the belts loose. You know that spins the

49
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: wheel right and dollars to donuts. Man. I spent ten

50
00:02:57,400 --> 00:03:00,280
Speaker 1: minutes just trying to pop the housing off because it's

51
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: got those like tension clips, right, but it's wedged into

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:07,040
Speaker 1: the hole in the housing. I'm sitting. I'm like sweating

53
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: in my basement. So I finally popped the thing off,

54
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,000
Speaker 1: and then I'm looking under there. Sure enough the belt snapped.

55
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 1: It's completely fried. So then I hit the YouTube, right,

56
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: I hit the YouTube how to replace a belt on

57
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 1: your whatever brand dryer, So I find it. The video

58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 1: is fifteen minutes long. These are the videos that are

59
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,079
Speaker 1: supposed to tell you how like fool you into the

60
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,760
Speaker 1: stage easy, and they're usually like two minutes, three minute.

61
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: This thing's fifteen minutes, dude. I watched two minutes out

62
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:40,800
Speaker 1: and I said, yep, we're calling repaired tomorrow. Yeah, that's

63
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm at the point in my life and I'm at

64
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 1: the age I tapped out. I'm out. I'm at the

65
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 1: age where that's the moment that thing turns off when

66
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,040
Speaker 1: it's supposed to be on, or the moment it turns

67
00:03:51,080 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: on when it's supposed to be off is the minute

68
00:03:53,560 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: I call. So I tapped out immediately. I left the

69
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:58,360
Speaker 1: housing off. Since it was such a problem for me

70
00:03:58,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: to take off, I figure out I might as well

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,480
Speaker 1: leave it off for the repair guy. Maybe the labor

72
00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:03,680
Speaker 1: charge is lighter if he doesn't spend the same ten

73
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: minutes that I did trying to take the thing off.

74
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 1: But he probably does it every day and pops it

75
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: off in two seconds. So I'm doing that then, Like

76
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: I got a water leak for my dang pool. Now

77
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:16,960
Speaker 1: it's just a drip, but I'm trying to trying to

78
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: fix the thing, or you know. I was like, yeah,

79
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: maybe I could just hit it with some you know,

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: flex seal or something. The sealed at it right, has

81
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: nothing to do with the pipe. The pipe's fine, it's

82
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:32,120
Speaker 1: got this salt water chlorine measuring probe pools are like

83
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 1: saltwater pools. These days they are. Yeah, they make chlorine

84
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: out of the salt gas that keeps the hebe GEB's

85
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:39,920
Speaker 1: out of it. Right, Well, yeah, you don't want hebe

86
00:04:39,960 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: GEB's in your pool, that's for sure. So yeah, and

87
00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: we've done a good job of keeping it out. But

88
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: the problem is I'm losing water now at a slow rate.

89
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: And this all like three or four days before I

90
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,280
Speaker 1: got to take my kid to college and head out

91
00:04:55,320 --> 00:04:58,039
Speaker 1: of town. So it's just like son of a gun.

92
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,840
Speaker 1: Like I mean, my brother in law is gonna be

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,720
Speaker 1: I was sitting for us with the dog, but I

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: don't feel like handed him seven things that he knows

95
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:07,840
Speaker 1: nothing about. Just say, hey, while I'm gone, why can

96
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,800
Speaker 1: you take care of my basement? So I why does

97
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: it all happen like when you're when you got other

98
00:05:15,040 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: stuff on your plate? Just spread those I don't mind

99
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: taking care of stuff, but just spread them out a

100
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: little bit. Holy mackerel, I was getting blitzed. We went

101
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:27,400
Speaker 1: back one time and looked over the roster of how

102
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:35,719
Speaker 1: many major appliances we've bought. We've been married thirty seven years. Right, washers, dryers, dishwashers, refrigerators, freezers,

103
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 1: those are the big ones right, and the microwaves. Microwaves

104
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: kind of you just go until they absolutely go die

105
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: because those are into microwave. Right. We have no no

106
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 1: less than a dozen, no less than a dozen washer dryer.

107
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: We moved one house the other it was one had

108
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,599
Speaker 1: one was gas, the other one is electric. So okay,

109
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: we switched him, you know that. Then one one conks out,

110
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:05,240
Speaker 1: you have to get another way. It's the insert the

111
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,279
Speaker 1: cliche line here. They don't make them like they used to.

112
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: They're only supposed to last about seven or eight years,

113
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: so you have to go buy another one. Well, yeah,

114
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: they're no dummies. Well no, so I've so I've got

115
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: they're not themies in this equation. Well this is the

116
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: state of affairs though, because now I've got a gas

117
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:25,240
Speaker 1: oven and the little electric igniter that that went on

118
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,760
Speaker 1: that thing. So now I've got the you know the

119
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: trigger lighters turn against up with a little trigger, and

120
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 1: then my dishwasher. The top rack. Two of the connectors

121
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 1: are very loose, so if you don't pull it straight out,

122
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: like if you kind of grab the side and pull,

123
00:06:44,320 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: it'll pop off the mooring and fall off. And then

124
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 1: I got to like Jerry rig it back on. So

125
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: these these items that I try to extend the life

126
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: of they're not appreciated by the general was something like, no,

127
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,360
Speaker 1: we're not buckling yet, which then we came this is good.

128
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 1: It's how how long can you have to hang on

129
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:07,520
Speaker 1: with a substandard little bit? And you know that's where

130
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: we're at. My my parents when I was growing up

131
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: in this they would have they wished they had a

132
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: dishwasher that they had to just make sure you pull

133
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: the top tray out of them. They wish they had that. Yeah,

134
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 1: I didn't otherwise my you know mom or me or

135
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,240
Speaker 1: the kido deep in dishwah. When I was five or

136
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 1: six years old, my mom used to give me a

137
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:32,000
Speaker 1: nickel for helping or dry dry dishes. Yeah, I thought

138
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: that was a big deal. Now I got a dishwasher

139
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,320
Speaker 1: in my income went out the out the window. There

140
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: you know, my big old nickel that I get every

141
00:07:38,800 --> 00:07:42,120
Speaker 1: twenty cents a week. I remember. The one of the

142
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 1: key things we had this My mom used to be

143
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 1: a secretary for a car dealership and for some reason

144
00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: like the Ford Motor Company or whoever it was, was

145
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: given these out to the two dealerships or they let

146
00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 1: my mom use a microwave oven for like a week,

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:01,320

Speaker 1: on and it and the oven's not even hot all right,

156
00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 1: It's like, oh my god. We thought it was so awesome.

157
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: Our first microwave was the size of an old school

158
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: nineteen inch TV. Yeah, remember the big nineteen inch tube sets.

00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: went out on our old one, right, and like you know,

172
00:09:18,640 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: and you know, you remember the whole thing was made

208
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: on my way. Last week. Appliance repairman we know, the exterminators,

209
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,640
Speaker 1: the tree guys we know, and all of them. Well,

210
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: it's a sign of living in the same house for

211
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 1: a while. Yeah, there you go. Uh, let's get to

212
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: NFL News and know it's an interesting comment Steve from

213
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes to one Kevin Clark of The Ringer, who

214
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 1: was just on our show last week. As we know,

215
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: he was headed out to Kansas City this week. Talked

216
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:44,079
Speaker 1: to Patrick Mahomes and he admitted to Kevin that after

217
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: jumping out to a big early lead in the AFC

218
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: title Game against the Bengals last year, the Chiefs became

219
00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 1: so focused on playing it's safe they stopped doing the

220
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:54,600
Speaker 1: things that had brought them to the twenty one to

221
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: three lead in the first place. Quote the second half

222
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,640
Speaker 1: of that game, I don't want to say relax, but

223
00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,319
Speaker 1: I mean when you lead like you did, you want

224
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: to make sure you win the game, but you don't

225
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: want to play like you're playing not to lose. And

226
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: I feel like that's what we did as a team.

227
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 1: We were playing not to lose. We were playing just

228
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: to get to the super Bowl. If you look, they

229
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,960
Speaker 1: didn't do much different from the first half to the

230
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: second half. We just didn't execute at a high enough level.

231
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,679
Speaker 1: They were playing the same coverages we weren't executing. Then

232
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,640
Speaker 1: momentum gets in the other team's favor, and when you're

233
00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 1: playing a good football team, bad stuff happens. Yeah, that's

234
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:28,680
Speaker 1: we've I've seen a time. You know, I was part

235
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,560
Speaker 1: of that comeback game. And I've been a part of

236
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl forty two when the lights went out

237
00:12:34,280 --> 00:12:37,920
Speaker 1: in Georgia or in that sounds like a country, it is,

238
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 1: but when the lights went out in the super Dome

239
00:12:41,240 --> 00:12:44,600
Speaker 1: and the Niners came storming back in that game almost

240
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 1: won its one score game. Same thing with the Super

241
00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: Bowl in with the Atlanta and New England when it

242
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: was twenty eight to three. I've been seeing that a lot.

243
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 1: What happens is and it you'll get away with it

244
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 1: sometimes in the regular season, depending on your opponent and

245
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 1: all that. When you get into the playoffs and you

246
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 1: get these teams that are playing at a high level

247
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: as everybody is. When you get to the championship round

248
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,120
Speaker 1: of the playoffs or in this case, you know, the

249
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 1: division round of the playoffs, there the teams are playing

250
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: at such a high level that if one team just

251
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 1: takes their nose off the grindstone for just a minute.

252
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: It is absolutely evident on the scoreboard. Immediately the game

253
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 1: swings really fast, and it's hard to get the tide

254
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: turned back in your favor even if you've been dominant.

255
00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:36,199
Speaker 1: So these teams that are so talented, when they get

256
00:13:36,240 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 1: into this desperation mode, they're gonna they're they're doing just

257
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:42,719
Speaker 1: the opposite of what the Chiefs did that the Bengals were.

258
00:13:43,080 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: The Bengals were rolling the dice. They were like, let's

259
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: take this risk, Let's take this risk, Let's really go

260
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 1: for this. Let's try to make this happen. And when

261
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: they're really playing at a high level like the Bengals

262
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 1: and the Chiefs were, and the and the Rams and

263
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 1: all those teams were, they can get it done. They

264
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,680
Speaker 1: come through that, particularly when the other team is taking

265
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: a at that moment. Not to mention the fact that

266
00:14:01,920 --> 00:14:05,000
Speaker 1: the Chiefs had just come off an emotional overtime victory

267
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: the week before against the Bills. Now you get up

268
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: early on the Bengals and you're like, all right, well,

269
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: let's just breathe a little bit after last week, you know,

270
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,559
Speaker 1: I'm blaa And then all of a sudden, the Bengals

271
00:14:14,600 --> 00:14:17,320
Speaker 1: turned the tables on them and they didn't recover and

272
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 1: it cost him a shot at the Super Bowl. We

273
00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: talked to the officials here last week, Steve, before one

274
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: of the practices. They had Jerome Boger's crew here and

275
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 1: we were asking the guy before practice got started, Hey,

276
00:14:29,760 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: what are the points of emphasis this year? And we

277
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:34,120
Speaker 1: didn't mention it on the air last week, but he

278
00:14:34,160 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: basically said, points of emphasis this year include illegal contact

279
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: fouls by defensive players. So that has now been nationally reported.

280
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 1: As you know, these officials get around training camps. As

281
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: we know, illegal contact is defensive players being prohibited from

282
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:55,480
Speaker 1: contacting receivers more than five yards off the line of

283
00:14:55,520 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: scrimmage while the quarterback has the ball and is in

284
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:04,400
Speaker 1: the pocket. So right, So that's the rule. They are

285
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 1: going to call it a lot tighter and a lot

286
00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: more stringently this year, which led to a tweet from

287
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: one Stephen a Tasker in which he said, there's gonna

288
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: be a handful of guys the throw for five thousand

289
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 1: yards that will be the result of calling illegal contact

290
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 1: more often. Now you say that because it's a free

291
00:15:24,280 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: fresh set of downs in a five yard penalty, so

292
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:29,480
Speaker 1: more plays to throw the football. Yeah, But also the

293
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,840
Speaker 1: dbs are gonna have to play within those rules. They're

294
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: not just gonna count on the officials to call that

295
00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,480
Speaker 1: every player. They're not gonna, you know, they're gonna they

296
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: don't want to get a penalty flight thrown, so they're

297
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 1: gonna let these guys are gonna start running. And what

298
00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: it means is the big difference is if people I

299
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: don't know, if I can explain this on the radio.

300
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 1: In the past, the officials have made a judgment call

301
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:52,640
Speaker 1: that if they seek contact down the field by the

302
00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 1: defensive player, they look and if the quarterback is about

303
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:57,480
Speaker 1: to throw it or is in the motion of throwing

304
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: it or whatever, or if he's not looking the direction

305
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:04,920
Speaker 1: of getting that, they let it go. That's not gonna happen.

306
00:16:04,960 --> 00:16:07,840
Speaker 1: So you're gonna get a ton of penalties that are

307
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: happening away from the from the point of the play

308
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: wherever the quarterbacks looking like off on the off side

309
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: of the play, where the quarterback, you know, Josh, drops back,

310
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 1: he's looking left, looking left, looking left, starts to throw it,

311
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:20,400
Speaker 1: and a flag comes out because the guy on the

312
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 1: right banged into Gabe Davis or Steph Diggs laid in

313
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: the play and it's they're gonna start calling it so

314
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,800
Speaker 1: in retaliation for that or in response to that, the

315
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 1: dbs will start not doing that. And when you're not,

316
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: when you stop giving yourself that edge or that little

317
00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: crutch to lean on, offenses are gonna be good enough

318
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:44,600
Speaker 1: to take advantage of that. You're gonna have guys running open.

319
00:16:45,440 --> 00:16:47,800
Speaker 1: And that means not just guys on your team, but

320
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: guys on their team. Teams are going to be more

321
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,359
Speaker 1: successful throwing the football this year because of this specific

322
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:57,520
Speaker 1: rule change and point of emphasis. So is my idea

323
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: in the tweet. Yeah, you're gonna have some quarterbacks, more

324
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: them just one or two Like sometimes you see it's

325
00:17:02,320 --> 00:17:05,520
Speaker 1: Brady and Herbert last year the only quarterbacks to go

326
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: over five thousand passing year. You're gonna have like five

327
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:09,919
Speaker 1: of them do it. You're gonna have like Brady and

328
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: Herbert and Alan and Mahomes and Matthews and Rogers. I mean,

329
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,240
Speaker 1: you know you're gonna have like six guys going over

330
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: five thousand yards. I wonder about this though, Steves, maybe

331
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:26,440
Speaker 1: because if they call it stringently and you're getting illegal contact,

332
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: like every fourth play. Well, the league may have to

333
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: step in and say, all right, we may be overdoing

334
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: it here because now you're stopping the game constantly. Well,

335
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: here's to get the adjustment necessary in the way defenses

336
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: are playing. Now. Maybe they eventually make the adjustment and

337
00:17:44,400 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: the flags become less in number in the succeeding weeks.

338
00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 1: But if they don't change immediately, you could be really

339
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: bogging down the game. And illegal contact flags that's what

340
00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: the preseasons for. Okay, they'll call it stringently in the

341
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: preseason'll job up the works those teams, and conversations will

342
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,159
Speaker 1: happen between the officials and the players and the players

343
00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:05,960
Speaker 1: and the coaches and the coaches and the players and them,

344
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,719
Speaker 1: you know, coaches and the officials. You know, they're all

345
00:18:07,720 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: gonna be talking about it all preseason. We'll make a

346
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:12,439
Speaker 1: big deal battle on our broadcast when we talk about it,

347
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,679
Speaker 1: you you know, the radio guys and you and I

348
00:18:14,760 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: and everybody. And by the time the regular season rolls around,

349
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:19,760
Speaker 1: at least the players they start to have a handle

350
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,680
Speaker 1: on it, so it won't balk down. But you can

351
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: bet in the preseasons will be flying. Yeah, they're gonna

352
00:18:25,080 --> 00:18:27,600
Speaker 1: have the officials are gonna need rotator cuff surgery. They're

353
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:30,680
Speaker 1: gonna throw so many of them because that's what will happen.

354
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: And even in the regular season, you'll see an adjustment

355
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: period where you know, the intensities ratcheted up and the

356
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: guys will revert back to the old ways. But the

357
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:44,439
Speaker 1: legal kind of has learned to allow for an adjustment period,

358
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: and then when that then go from there, when they

359
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 1: start to come off that and get better and get

360
00:18:49,560 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: used to it, they'll evaluate again because you know it

361
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 1: won't be that good if this does go like you

362
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 1: and I think it will, or at least how I

363
00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,240
Speaker 1: think it will, where all of a sudden, every game

364
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: is forty five to thirty eight or forty five twenty four,

365
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: somebody's scoring fifty points a game. Then they're like, going on,

366
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:09,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, that might be a little bit over

367
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:10,719
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, a little bit over. Let

368
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: me'll overkill. So they'll evaluate it from that end and

369
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,520
Speaker 1: also the flag end as well. The other point of

370
00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:20,440
Speaker 1: emphasis that we pulled out of the official that was

371
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,360
Speaker 1: here at Bill's camp last week was hits on the quarterback.

372
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 1: If we remember, there were a lot of penalties last year.

373
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 1: Some rightfully so, some a little questionable at best. Illegal

374
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,959
Speaker 1: hits on the quarterback are not going to be called

375
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 1: as strictly as they were last year. He did say.

376
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,920
Speaker 1: I said, well, what any touching in the helmets still

377
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 1: going to draw a flag? He said, yes, any kind

378
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,600
Speaker 1: of glancing blow to the helmet is going to draw

379
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,040
Speaker 1: the illegal hit on the quarterback, automatic first down, fifteen yards,

380
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,119
Speaker 1: that whole thing. But some of the other hits that

381
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:58,880
Speaker 1: are close are not going to get called as strictly

382
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: as they were last year. So maybe that's where you

383
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: make up for all the flags that are gonna fly

384
00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:06,040
Speaker 1: for illegal contact. I don't know, but that I thought

385
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:09,080
Speaker 1: that was interesting as well. How how strictly they call

386
00:20:09,200 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: that and back off of that. I'll kind of believe

387
00:20:12,600 --> 00:20:14,240
Speaker 1: that when I see it, because this is a league

388
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,000
Speaker 1: that is big on protecting the quarterbacks, so I'll believe

389
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:22,840
Speaker 1: that are playing and when von Miller and Josh Allen

390
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: and step Digs are on the field and guys like that.

391
00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 1: We've had a couple of minor skirmishes here at training camp.

392
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: Big gigantic fight at Giants camp today that involved players

393
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 1: and coaches Steve, which I'll tell you right now. I've

394
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: been to twenty five training camps. I've never seen a

395
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,439
Speaker 1: coach and a player start swinging at each other. No. Basically,

396
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:49,880
Speaker 1: according to a number of Giants reporters, say Quon Barkley

397
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,720
Speaker 1: lowered his shoulder into cornerback Aaron Robinson during thud tempo,

398
00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,919
Speaker 1: which is when you make contact but you don't drive

399
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,880
Speaker 1: through the contact at you kind of pull up. That's

400
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:05,359
Speaker 1: what thud is. The defense did not like the fact

401
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:10,080
Speaker 1: that Barkley crashed into Aaron Robinson and knocked him off

402
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,640
Speaker 1: his feet, especially linebacker Tay Crowder, who took issue with it. Now,

403
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 1: nothing happened. Then nothing happened until Giants center John Feliciano

404
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: two three plays later grabbed Crowder's head three plays later,

405
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,840
Speaker 1: pulled it down and tried to knee him in the face.

406
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: WWE style is the description given by the reporters at

407
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:36,959
Speaker 1: Giants camp. So, offensive line coach Bobby Johnson then pushed

408
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,119
Speaker 1: linebacker Cam Brown, so now the coaches in the mix.

409
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,679
Speaker 1: Then Feliciano sucker punches Brown, who was being pushed by

410
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 1: by Bobby Johnson, and after that it was described as

411
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:55,960
Speaker 1: complete and utter mayhem. Some Giants reporters were calling it

412
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 1: a disaster of a fight. Thought Feliciano was way out

413
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: line because not only did he try to kneed kick

414
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,639
Speaker 1: somebody in the in the throat, he then also sucker

415
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 1: punched another player. And it was all started by Sequon Barkley,

416
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:15,520
Speaker 1: who had h McKinney the safety in his face for

417
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,159
Speaker 1: starting the whole thing in the first place. Yeah, it

418
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:22,240
Speaker 1: was by another reporter. He said, you know, punches were thrown.

419
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 1: Feliciano got dragged out of a pile. Oh yeah, I

420
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 1: have a photo of that, and then got up to

421
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 1: his feet and then and then started swinging. I mean,

422
00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: he looks like a bag of cement. The guy dragged

423
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:36,359
Speaker 1: him off the pile to break up a fight, and

424
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 1: Feliciano didn't like it at all, got up and took

425
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: a big swing. H yeah, So there you go. And

426
00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:46,800
Speaker 1: in the undefeated nature of the Internet, this photo in

427
00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 1: which he's being dragged away from the fight and he

428
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:52,520
Speaker 1: looks like a bag of wet cement. Right, somebody tweets

429
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: you think Mongo Feliciano missus buffalo yet question mark undefeat

430
00:22:59,400 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: undefeated Internet, The Ravens and All Pro kicker Justin Tucker

431
00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:05,760
Speaker 1: agreed to terms at a four year extension pays him

432
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:09,800
Speaker 1: twenty four million dollars, seventeen and a half million of

433
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 1: which will be guaranteed. He is once again the highest

434
00:23:13,880 --> 00:23:18,160
Speaker 1: paid kicker in the league. Free and clear. The Steelers

435
00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 1: signed Boswell, their veteran kicker, to a deal that match

436
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,159
Speaker 1: Tucker's previous deal is four years, twenty million. So the

437
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: Ravens just up the anne for they're all pro kicker.

438
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: It's interesting, it's been a long time since we've had

439
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: a player in any position, let alone quarterback or running

440
00:23:40,160 --> 00:23:47,439
Speaker 1: back or whatever for almost universal have the whole league,

441
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:50,960
Speaker 1: opponents and teammates alike say, yeah, that guy's the goat

442
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 1: Justin Tucker, I think is right. There is sixty four

443
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: yarder to win the game against the Lions last year.

444
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: That's proof enough that the guy, I mean, he's not

445
00:24:03,160 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: only a strong kicker and an accurate kicker, he is

446
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: a clutch kicker too. Yeah, there's a big difference, Yeah, exactly,

447
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:11,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's you know, you give the guy,

448
00:24:12,320 --> 00:24:15,119
Speaker 1: give the guy the money and he got it. He

449
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 1: got Good for him. Yeah, good for him. And like

450
00:24:17,720 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: I said, it's hard to find. It's hard to find

451
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,359
Speaker 1: anybody who doesn't believe that guy's maybe the best kicker

452
00:24:23,359 --> 00:24:25,000
Speaker 1: in the league at the moment, has been for a

453
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:29,359
Speaker 1: long time. We told you on last Friday's show that

454
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:34,080
Speaker 1: Kiko Alonso was back in the NFL signed a contract

455
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 1: with the New Orleans Saints after being out of the

456
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: league for two seasons basically missed the whole COVID pandemic

457
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Signs a contract with the Saints. Apparently

458
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:47,840
Speaker 1: one practice was all it took to convince him to

459
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: retire again. One practice with the Saints, Yeah, I'm out. Yeah,

460
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,399
Speaker 1: it sounds like that was the idea for him. He

461
00:24:56,440 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: wanted to come back, wanted to prove that he could

462
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: get a contract, get in that kind of shape, and

463
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: then retire on his own terms. He didn't want he

464
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,520
Speaker 1: obviously didn't want to play, but he wanted to go

465
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:08,320
Speaker 1: out and get himself. I think he didn't want to

466
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: play or do you think he got there and he's like, yeah,

467
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: I think I've been gone a little too long. This

468
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: isn't gonna work. I think he just didn't want to

469
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:18,400
Speaker 1: go out of his career the way that The way

470
00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,879
Speaker 1: he did, however that was and wanted to get himself

471
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 1: back to a point where he could play again and

472
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 1: then say, Okay, now it's my decision. I'm gonna walk away.

473
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,040
Speaker 1: I don't think a lot of guys it means something

474
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: to a lot of guys to be to stop playing

475
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: rather than be told your note on their urns. Yeah,

476
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: it does mean something to guys. But I don't know

477
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 1: if Keiko said that, but I heard that reporter that

478
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: he just somebody complimented one of his I think Cam

479
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,960
Speaker 1: Hayward said that, just said, you know, leave it to

480
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:50,199
Speaker 1: Kiko to come out, get one practice and retire on

481
00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: his legend of Kiko lives once more. Yeah, and with

482
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 1: a very legendary type move. Yeah, legendary into his career. Yeah,

483
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,880
Speaker 1: I'll sign my contract and ABC later I'm out of here.

484
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 1: So so good for him. Bill's practice news and notes

485
00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:08,640
Speaker 1: not participating today. The list got a little length here.

486
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: Marquez Stevenson remains out with that foot injury that's going

487
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:14,159
Speaker 1: to keep him out for weeks, and you wonder what

488
00:26:14,200 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: the decision will ultimately be there. It might end up

489
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,240
Speaker 1: being much like it was last year Steve. If you

490
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: remember he broke his foot in the preseason game. They

491
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 1: put him on the active roster when they first set

492
00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 1: the fifty three, and then after a day later he

493
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 1: was put on IR, which enabled him to get him

494
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 1: back before the season was over. If they put him

495
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: on IR now before the start of the regular season,

496
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,919
Speaker 1: he is lost for the entire year. There is no

497
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,240
Speaker 1: option to bring him back or off of injured reserve.

498
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:46,560
Speaker 1: So there's a very good chance Steve that they do

499
00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:49,560
Speaker 1: the same exact thing with Marquez Stevenson, especially if they

500
00:26:49,600 --> 00:26:52,280
Speaker 1: believe they are going to utilize him as a return

501
00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:55,359
Speaker 1: man this year. Knowing Mackenzie's role on offense is looking

502
00:26:55,359 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: like it's going to be a larger one. Well, they

503
00:26:56,720 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: all obviously like Marquez. I mean that he got the

504
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: got on the field last year towards the end of

505
00:27:02,560 --> 00:27:05,880
Speaker 1: the year and got a chance to contribute, and we'll see,

506
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 1: if you know, yeah, obviously, and when it happened, McDermott said,

507
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: And we're looking at weeks from the tuliple happened. So

508
00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,720
Speaker 1: you're thinking, I don't know, maybe a broken bone in

509
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 1: his foot or something. I don't know, but it's obviously

510
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:21,399
Speaker 1: something that's gonna they're gonna have to make a decision

511
00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 1: on him at the start of at the end of

512
00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: training campus to what they're gonna do with him on

513
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: the fifty three or try and get him back. Yeah,

514
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: it's tough. Feel bad for him. Receivers were low in

515
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: number today, Isaiah McKenzie Khalil Shakier not practicing again today.

516
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:40,160
Speaker 1: Coach McDermott described it as soreness for both of those players.

517
00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: Both of them were walking around out here taking in practice.

518
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,600
Speaker 1: Tavon Austin also missed practice, so the Bills were down

519
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: four receivers. They had seven receivers to practice with today.

520
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 1: Tyrrell Dotson a non participant ployer's still out with the

521
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: hyper extended at elbow. Trudevious White, as we know, still

522
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:04,280
Speaker 1: not practicing, and cornerback Tim Harris also not participating today.

523
00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 1: Roger Staff old back for his second straight day of practice.

524
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: No team reps. Spencer Brown was getting rotated in for

525
00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,800
Speaker 1: team reps, so the old line slowly but surely is

526
00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:18,679
Speaker 1: getting a bit healthier. And Ryan Bates, who we may

527
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,399
Speaker 1: hear from a little bit later on in the show,

528
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:26,720
Speaker 1: also getting some teamwork on a full time basis today.

529
00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:29,159
Speaker 1: A lot of Blitz packages Steve and Blitz pick up.

530
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:31,000
Speaker 1: There was a lot of third and mediums, third and

531
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 1: longs today out there on the practice field, defensive lineman,

532
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,720
Speaker 1: we're forcing the quarterbacks to scramble an awful lot today.

533
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: Did you see that as well? Yeah, a lot of

534
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: pressure some and I know a couple of times Josh

535
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: was trying to get a playoff and he knew saw

536
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,719
Speaker 1: it was coming. I thought it was a really good

537
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,920
Speaker 1: job of disguise and he saw it because he's been

538
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 1: watching it every day. Brought everybody and tried to max

539
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:56,920
Speaker 1: protect and get the ball out of there. Still, it

540
00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: was tough to get get them, you know, to get

541
00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: it off. So yeah, they were working on some things

542
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: today in practice. It was It was a long practice,

543
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:07,800
Speaker 1: but I don't know if you noticed a lot of teamwork.

544
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 1: Both two minute drill, yes, red zone, you know, move

545
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: the ball, just run regular team with a script. Dorsey

546
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: looked like he was off on the sidelines practicing his

547
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,640
Speaker 1: communication skills, trying to call plays from the sideline. That

548
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:26,040
Speaker 1: was all going on long, A really complicated practice, but

549
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: a very energetic one. I thought they had practice on

550
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,040
Speaker 1: yesterday and then they had practice today as well. Both

551
00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 1: of them pretty grueling practices, a lot of energy. Although

552
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: you can tell it was deep into camp. But the

553
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,760
Speaker 1: stuff they worked on today, Yeah, I thought both sides

554
00:29:42,840 --> 00:29:44,800
Speaker 1: had moments where they looked really good, and then they

555
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 1: had both sides where they made the other top side

556
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 1: of the ball look really bad as well. So kind

557
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: of flip a coin as to who won and who lost. Yeah,

558
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:55,200
Speaker 1: I thought there was good pressure by the guys, particularly

559
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,880
Speaker 1: off the edges. Greg Rousseau was chasing quarterbacks today off

560
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: the edge after winning his pass rush, and we saw

561
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,840
Speaker 1: some inside pressure as well. I know Brandon Brian had

562
00:30:04,880 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: at least one sack. The reserve defensive tackle, guy who

563
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: keeps making plays in the defensive backfield, Christian Benford, the

564
00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,800
Speaker 1: rookie two pass breakups today as the guy continues to

565
00:30:15,840 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 1: turn and play Steve and I think this is a

566
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 1: guy that is making a push to make the fifty

567
00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: three man roster at the cornerback position. It's going to

568
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,280
Speaker 1: be a tight numbers game. He may not quite make it,

569
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: but it is going to be interesting to see where

570
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 1: that goes. We have to take a break here though.

571
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:32,280
Speaker 1: When we come back, we here are going to be

572
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: joined by one Reggie gilliam of the new two year

593
00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 1: you have to focus on. It's like right, you get

594
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: right exactly even the media is not a distract even

595
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: though you come to an interview like, yeah, there's no stories,

596
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: it's just you guys, just football. It is kind of

597
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 1: fun that way. Are you a fan of going away

598
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,400
Speaker 1: for training camp? This is my first time going away,

599
00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:00,880

607
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: So when you have I mean, because you've been grinding,

608
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: you know, the last few years, you know, trying to say,

609
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,000
Speaker 1: hey I deserve to have a role on this team.

610
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: You prove that. You know, they found it, you know,

611
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: they found a pretty diversified role for you in the

612
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:35,240
Speaker 1: offensive backfield. And now to have it validated with an

613
00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: extension like this, I've got to imagine that validation feels

614
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,200
Speaker 1: good because now you're not wondering does this team believe

615
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: in me? Now? You know, you know what I mean,

616
00:32:43,800 --> 00:32:45,960
Speaker 1: like there's a difference, right. Yeah, it's an amazing feeling

617
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: considering just two years ago, I didn't even know if

618
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 1: I'd still be playing football with my prote being canceled

619
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 1: due to COVID and you know, going undrafted, watching an

620
00:32:52,320 --> 00:32:54,320
Speaker 1: entire draft not hearing your name called. I'm just like, Okay,

621
00:32:54,360 --> 00:32:55,680
Speaker 1: that's probably the end of the road for me. And

622
00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: then the Bills come calling, and now here I am

623
00:32:57,560 --> 00:32:59,680
Speaker 1: signing an extension two years later, and in the extension,

624
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:02,960
Speaker 1: you look back now and things look differently than from

625
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: this end to the timeline than they did before, because

626
00:33:05,800 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: not only did you make it, they crafted a spot

627
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: for you. I mean that you were a tight end.

628
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: You say, you know, we're not gonna be We're gonna

629
00:33:13,080 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: make you a full back or you know, fullback or

630
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: an h back or move you from fullback to titan.

631
00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:19,320
Speaker 1: They wanted you on the team. It's from this end

632
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 1: of it now, signing an extension just gotta be really

633
00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: gratifying that you showed them enough and enough versatility they

634
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,800
Speaker 1: they found a place for you, made a place for you. Yeah,

635
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,840
Speaker 1: it's a great feeling. Like I said a couple days ago,

636
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:31,760
Speaker 1: or the other day whenever it was is that I've

637
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 1: never been on a team where I was wanted, like

638
00:33:34,080 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: I had to walk on everywhere I've been, right, Yeah, yeah,

639
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,400
Speaker 1: I walked on Toledo and then basically walk on again

640
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: as an undrafted free agent. So it was a nice

641
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,200
Speaker 1: for someone to feel like they actually, you know, they

642
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:44,000
Speaker 1: believed to me. So now I feel I feel bad

643
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 1: security behind me that Okay, this team wants me here,

644
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: give us an idea as to how because you know

645
00:33:51,480 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: you're listed as a fullback. Now, there was a time

646
00:33:53,880 --> 00:33:56,640
Speaker 1: where it was a little bit in between what's your

647
00:33:56,680 --> 00:34:00,120
Speaker 1: division of time now between the running back room the

648
00:34:00,120 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: tight end room? Are you pretty much all running back now?

649
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 1: Do everything? Okay? So what so? What is it? Is

650
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 1: it like it's like, okay, you're working with them, to

651
00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: say you're working with these guys today, you're working with

652
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: these guys. It's wherever you know that you don't even

653
00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:15,399
Speaker 1: know when you come into work in the morning, where

654
00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,480
Speaker 1: you're gonna be spending your day. Is it really that

655
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:19,879
Speaker 1: like up to the minute? Yeah, it's up to the minute.

656
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:21,200
Speaker 1: But most of the time, like if I don't hear anything,

657
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:22,640
Speaker 1: I just know I'm gonna be hanging with the tight ends,

658
00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:26,239
Speaker 1: do you like during the season, Like if you're the

659
00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: matchup and they started doing the game plan during that week,

660
00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:30,880
Speaker 1: you'll meet mostly with the tight ends that week for

661
00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: that game, and then the next week it's like the

662
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: other way, right because of the game and the opponent.

663
00:34:34,680 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: You're yeah, it's all game plan. But I mean I

664
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,479
Speaker 1: just come in and I go wherever. They tell meself. Yeah,

665
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,440
Speaker 1: so you've signed this, your your timeline is what it is.

666
00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: And you signed the new deal, you signed the extension. Um,

667
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:48,399
Speaker 1: you've got a place on this roster, and what keeps

668
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,960
Speaker 1: you going? What what keeps your the fire lit under you?

669
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:52,800
Speaker 1: Now that you've got to You got this big contract,

670
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,879
Speaker 1: you got an extension, you got a home, you got

671
00:34:54,920 --> 00:34:57,160
Speaker 1: you kind of because it kind of established because in

672
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 1: my mind, I felt like I wasn't supposed to be here.

673
00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:00,759
Speaker 1: So it's like, no, I got him the proof, Like

674
00:35:00,920 --> 00:35:02,600
Speaker 1: nobody believed that I was going to be in this

675
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 1: spot coming from my little school in Columbus, and then

676
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: I had to walk onto a Division one school and

677
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:09,320
Speaker 1: then I'm walking onto a MAX school as a fullback,

678
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,240
Speaker 1: well really I was a running back. Then they switched

679
00:35:11,239 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 1: me to fullback there, but still a walk on fullback

680
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:18,160
Speaker 1: from the max. Like that's three steps against you right there. Yeah,

681
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of a mac presence on this

682
00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 1: roster though, Yeah, Morris, yeah, Lewis and Tommy, Tommy Doyle. Yeah, yeah,

683
00:35:26,040 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 1: we got a good set of Matt guys, but still

684
00:35:28,239 --> 00:35:30,360
Speaker 1: a Matt guy being on an NFL roster is not

685
00:35:30,480 --> 00:35:33,120
Speaker 1: very common, you know, right, and then a fullback being

686
00:35:33,120 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 1: on NFL roster is not very common. So it's like

687
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:36,920
Speaker 1: I already had that going against me. So it's like

688
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: I got something to prove. What is it about? Maybe

689
00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:42,799
Speaker 1: give us a little peek into the tight end room

690
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: when you're in there, because you know, Tommy Sweeney's kind

691
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:50,600
Speaker 1: of an interesting guy. He's kind of a renaissance man,

692
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 1: if you will. And then he's got he got Dawson,

693
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,520
Speaker 1: you know, who's you know, the nicest guy in the universe.

694
00:35:56,080 --> 00:35:57,880
Speaker 1: What about that room? Give us a little give us

695
00:35:57,880 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 1: a little personality breakdown of that. How is it as

696
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 1: a group? We got a lot of different personalities in

697
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: that room, but we all messed together pretty well. You know,

698
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: Tommy's the old soul, knows everything about history you could

699
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 1: ever imagine knows every nineteen forties, fifties alternate rock soul,

700
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: that's Tommy all the way? Was there alternate rocket that

701
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,400
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't know, but if there was, he

702
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 1: would Yeah. What about what about that running back room

703
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:22,879
Speaker 1: because it's like the South Florida contingent. Yeah, every last

704
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:25,080
Speaker 1: one of them is like yeah, down that way? So

705
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:27,680
Speaker 1: is that kind of weird going into that room sometimes? No,

706
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,399
Speaker 1: we all messed together pretty well. We've all known each

707
00:36:30,400 --> 00:36:32,160
Speaker 1: other for a little while now, so I think we're good.

708
00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:34,960
Speaker 1: All right. Cool. Do you think there's any embarrassment for

709
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: the team having somebody labeled as a fullback on the

710
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 1: team And absolutely not. I mean they just make you

711
00:36:39,880 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: a tight end and let you play full No, no, no, no,

712
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: there's fullbacks are I'm dying breed. There's not, absolutely no

713
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:50,360
Speaker 1: question about it. And how does it function? And what

714
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: do they tell you about you know, your role as

715
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,719
Speaker 1: a fullback and he goes back aways. You know because

716
00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:57,279
Speaker 1: you were in college, you know what that spot is like. Yeah,

717
00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: you don't usually get a handoff. No, right, you're banging heads.

718
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,279
Speaker 1: But but you know, Sean always says, the more you

719
00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 1: can do. Yeah, so like, yes, this I'm listened as

720
00:37:06,680 --> 00:37:08,400
Speaker 1: a fullback, but I could play any position. And I

721
00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,839
Speaker 1: use that line today with remember the media. The more

722
00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 1: you can do this, it's universal. As versatile as you

723
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:16,080
Speaker 1: can be. What do you have a role on special teams?

724
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: And how big a part of that is? Yeah, I'm

725
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:19,640
Speaker 1: a four phased guy. I'm on every even on field goal,

726
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,600
Speaker 1: so right, so anytime they need me, I'm there. You

727
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:27,040
Speaker 1: guys have a real good core group now on that unit,

728
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:29,840
Speaker 1: guys that have played together for two three years. You

729
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 1: know Taiwan Jake, you know Andre Smith, Tyrrell Dotson. I mean,

730
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: you got a bunch of guys that have kind of

731
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:40,319
Speaker 1: all been on those units together. Saran, how how much

732
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:44,200
Speaker 1: does that help? And Steve can probably speak to this too,

733
00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,520
Speaker 1: But how much does that help when you're on one

734
00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:49,919
Speaker 1: of those you know, one hundred mile an hour type

735
00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 1: of place, like when you know where your guys are

736
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: gonna be. I gotta believe that's help helps out a ton.

737
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 1: We messed together so well, especially on kickoff, like I

738
00:37:58,360 --> 00:37:59,800
Speaker 1: know how my how the guy next to me is

739
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: gonna I know Tita is gonna play next to me,

740
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: so I can play off him. We all feed off

741
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,960
Speaker 1: of each other, and there's a crew there that is

742
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 1: pretty stable and it's about like six seven eight guys.

743
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,600
Speaker 1: It's used Taiwan, it's Meta Kevitch and all those guys. Um,

744
00:38:14,600 --> 00:38:16,920
Speaker 1: what's what's it been like with Matt Smiley and as

745
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: a special team's coordinator taken over the lead role. Yeah,

746
00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:23,000
Speaker 1: Smiley was really involved when Heath was here, so it's

747
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: really it wasn't even really a big change. It's like

748
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 1: a handoff. Really, like we all we all know Smiley,

749
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,040
Speaker 1: we all love Smiley and know exactly how he's going

750
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:31,160
Speaker 1: to coach us, So I don't think there's any drop

751
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 1: off there at all. Right, first preseason game coming up

752
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:36,960
Speaker 1: this weekend. You finally get to hit somebody else into uniform.

753
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 1: I know that always feels good for you guys because

754
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: you're tired a looking at each other over here. Yeah,

755
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,879
Speaker 1: what is is? What's the message Coach is already laying

756
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 1: out as far as first preseason game goes, if at all,

757
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,040
Speaker 1: Like I'm I don't know if he's even brought it

758
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:51,759
Speaker 1: up yet because we're still kind of early in the

759
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 1: week here, but he's got to believe he knows you

760
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,359
Speaker 1: guys are eager to get out there against somebody else,

761
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:01,719
Speaker 1: So maybe what are you looking forward to most? You know,

762
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,319
Speaker 1: when you get on the field facing Indianapolis. Our thing

763
00:39:04,440 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 1: for us, it's just it's a it's about us, like

764
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 1: we're yes, we have an opponent, but if we need

765
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 1: to play our ball, we need to focus on what

766
00:39:10,239 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 1: we're doing more than the opponent. I got you give

767
00:39:13,280 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: me an idea of what it's like to try and

768
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:17,440
Speaker 1: get ready to play the role you play with so

769
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:19,680
Speaker 1: varied in the off season. How do you how's your

770
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 1: off season go? And what do they tell you when

771
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:24,400
Speaker 1: you like when you left this last season about what

772
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,000
Speaker 1: they wanted you to be at and where they wanted

773
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 1: you to be when he came back, and how'd you

774
00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,440
Speaker 1: do that? Yeah, So it's a lot of studying, knowing

775
00:39:29,480 --> 00:39:32,040
Speaker 1: every position right, and it's a lot of a lot

776
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:33,560
Speaker 1: of thinking. When you're in the hotel, it's just like, Okay,

777
00:39:33,560 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 1: I walk in the hoddle and I gotta ask myself

778
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:36,799
Speaker 1: what position am I playing right? Because so I make

779
00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:38,400
Speaker 1: sure I know because like I can know it as

780
00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:39,799
Speaker 1: a tight end, I can know it as the running back,

781
00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 1: I can know it as a fullback. So I'm like, okay,

782
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: what am I doing, and I'm like, Okay, once I

783
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,600
Speaker 1: hear the play, I think, okay, he's got that. He's

784
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,040
Speaker 1: got that, he's got that. I got this, okay, So

785
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: I know exactly how everything's about to run. So that's

786
00:39:50,520 --> 00:39:53,239
Speaker 1: a lot of Reggie's doing his own check with me,

787
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 1: a lot quarterback check with me. Reggie's doing his own

788
00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: check with me when he walks out on Therefore, do

789
00:39:59,080 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 1: you notice now as a full back, Ken Dorsey is

790
00:40:01,600 --> 00:40:04,359
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator. Did he take you aside and go, hey, bro,

791
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,640
Speaker 1: you're be ready for a little something something this season

792
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 1: that you didn't get last year? Or is it just

793
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: the opposite? He says, you know, I hate your guts

794
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,279
Speaker 1: and I'm never gonna use you. Yeah. Yeah, me and

795
00:40:14,320 --> 00:40:16,680
Speaker 1: Doris have a good relationship. But going into the OTA's

796
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:18,839
Speaker 1: it's kind of like that for everybody. He's saying that,

797
00:40:18,880 --> 00:40:21,120
Speaker 1: like nobody is gonna be stuck in one spot. Everybody's

798
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:22,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to learn at least more than one position,

799
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:25,640
Speaker 1: so everything is interchangeable. So for me, like, I've been

800
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: learning more positions all along, so it wasn't different for me.

801
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:31,880
Speaker 1: But right, so with that in mind, do you find

802
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: that you have to spend more time with one particular position.

803
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,960
Speaker 1: Like what I'm asking is, do you feel like you

804
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: have to devote more time to one of those positions

805
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 1: than maybe some of the other two, Like I got

806
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: this down, so let me devote more time to this

807
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:48,520
Speaker 1: where I feel like, you know, I really got to

808
00:40:48,560 --> 00:40:51,319
Speaker 1: mind my p's and q's because either it's new or

809
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:54,319
Speaker 1: it's different from last yea. So coming in as a

810
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 1: tight end, I learned tight end first, first and foremost.

811
00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:58,960
Speaker 1: I know that the best. So a lot of things

812
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,440
Speaker 1: when I hear it, I think of as a tight

813
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,239
Speaker 1: end first. I like I said earlier tonight, Yeah, I

814
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: know what the tight end's got. Now who's next, Like

815
00:41:04,480 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 1: I'm like, okay, he's got that, he's got that. Okay,

816
00:41:06,640 --> 00:41:08,200
Speaker 1: now I know what I'm doing after I go through

817
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 1: what everybody else has to do. So it's a lot

818
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,120
Speaker 1: of studying. Yeah, yeah, it seems like you're the only

819
00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 1: guy that's like listed. You're the fullback, So you're the

820
00:41:16,440 --> 00:41:18,600
Speaker 1: only guy that they're gonna plug in if you're if

821
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:20,919
Speaker 1: you're alive and healthy, you're gonna be that guy. Right. Yeah,

822
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:23,279
Speaker 1: But like I was saying, anybody could play anywhere, So right,

823
00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,560
Speaker 1: what is more difficult to play fullback or tight end. Um,

824
00:41:28,600 --> 00:41:31,239
Speaker 1: you know, I wouldn't say. I wouldn't say from like

825
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,839
Speaker 1: a learning standpoint, either of them are extremely difficult. But

826
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,440
Speaker 1: fullback is way more physical, that's for surely in the

827
00:41:38,520 --> 00:41:41,280
Speaker 1: run game, for sure, well, yes, fullback is way more physical.

828
00:41:41,320 --> 00:41:43,560
Speaker 1: But tight end is difficult in the sense that you

829
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,160
Speaker 1: have to block and run routes. Right. So it's like

830
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: when I'm when I'm in there as a fullback, I know,

831
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,800
Speaker 1: like I'm getting collision, there's there's a car incident about

832
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:55,120
Speaker 1: to half yeah, strap up. Whereas a tight end it's like, okay,

833
00:41:55,200 --> 00:41:57,200
Speaker 1: I know I'm inline block ends. Maybe not gonna be

834
00:41:57,239 --> 00:41:58,719
Speaker 1: a car accident. It's gonna be a fight for sure,

835
00:41:58,760 --> 00:42:00,560
Speaker 1: but yeah there's not gonna be ten yards of space

836
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:03,719
Speaker 1: and we're cracking heads. Yeah, no build up, not as

837
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: much build up momentum exact. Well, Rex, look, we're very

838
00:42:06,160 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 1: happy for you, glad it all worked out and that

839

868
00:43:52,080 --> 00:43:54,560
Speaker 1: oh three, oh five fifty one, eight eight five fifty

869
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:57,720
Speaker 1: two five fifty and we pull up Judy and Buffalo.

870
00:43:57,800 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: How are you doing, Judy? What do you got for us? Tucker?

871
00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 1: You know you've been talking about his contract and everything,

872
00:44:08,280 --> 00:44:12,040
Speaker 1: and it's well deserved, right, do remember that he missed

873
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:16,200
Speaker 1: two critical kicks in the playoff game against the Ravens,

874
00:44:16,280 --> 00:44:20,400
Speaker 1: which costs them. Question, I think one was an extra

875
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:24,799
Speaker 1: point right? No? I don't think well, I thought it

876
00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:28,359
Speaker 1: was two field goals, all right. My other question is okay, well,

877
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: either way, Matthew Stafford is supposedly having trouble with his arm.

878
00:44:33,800 --> 00:44:36,400
Speaker 1: I want to know who their backup quarterback is if

879
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:42,839
Speaker 1: this continues to happen. It is John Wolford who is

880
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,520
Speaker 1: I believe, a second year player in the league, so

881
00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:50,080
Speaker 1: very inexperienced. He is actually Will Wolford, the Old Bill's

882
00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:54,320
Speaker 1: left tackle's nephew. So John Wolford is their backup quarterback

883
00:44:54,360 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 1: as it stands right now. He was a fifty four

884
00:44:57,320 --> 00:45:01,359
Speaker 1: percent completion quarterback last year in the time he did

885
00:45:01,360 --> 00:45:05,520
Speaker 1: get on the field. So yeah, not the best backup

886
00:45:05,520 --> 00:45:08,239
Speaker 1: in the world that you could have, especially as a

887
00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,520
Speaker 1: defending Super Bowl champion. So it's gonna be very interesting

888
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:15,440
Speaker 1: to see going forward, Judy, what the Rams decide to do.

889
00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 1: And if we do see a roster move where they

890
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,239
Speaker 1: bring in a veteran quarterback, I think that is a

891
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:24,320
Speaker 1: direct sign that Matthew Stafford's availability for Week one is

892
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:27,480
Speaker 1: suddenly in doubt. I don't think the Rams believe that

893
00:45:27,640 --> 00:45:30,279
Speaker 1: is the case right now, but in a week or

894
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:33,919
Speaker 1: so they make a roster move for a veteran QB,

895
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,960
Speaker 1: it could be headed down that rope. Yeah, you're right,

896
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:39,160
Speaker 1: And you know, Justin Tucker did miss two kicks in

897
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,120
Speaker 1: that playoff game where they both field goals. It was

898
00:45:41,120 --> 00:45:42,919
Speaker 1: a bad day. I mean it was a bad game

899
00:45:43,200 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 1: whether weatherwise. Oh, the wind was quit and they were kicking.

900
00:45:45,880 --> 00:45:49,920
Speaker 1: I think both of them were into the scoreboarding. I'm

901
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,200
Speaker 1: not sure, but you're right. I had forgotten about that.

902
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:53,960
Speaker 1: I went back and watched it for a minute, and

903
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:58,879
Speaker 1: yeah he did. He missed two kicks, and I thought

904
00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:01,399
Speaker 1: one of them. I had some I had some mental

905
00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,359
Speaker 1: notes about those kicks that he missed, and I don't

906
00:46:03,400 --> 00:46:05,920
Speaker 1: I can't remember what those notes were. But yeah, you're right. Uh,

907
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:08,160
Speaker 1: he is the goat. He does does have a long

908
00:46:08,239 --> 00:46:11,120
Speaker 1: and illustrious career. Just signed the big extension, and he

909
00:46:11,239 --> 00:46:14,640
Speaker 1: probably is the goat kicker, uh since he arrived in

910
00:46:14,719 --> 00:46:17,360
Speaker 1: the league. And you're right, he missed two kicks in

911
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 1: the playoff game against the Bills, seventeen to three game.

912
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,480
Speaker 1: I totally forgot about. I did too. I did too.

913
00:46:25,600 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: That's why we rely rely on Judy. Yeah, Judy's on it. Uh.

914
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 1: And I'll say this, Uh, that would be a dead

915
00:46:33,960 --> 00:46:36,320
Speaker 1: giveaway if the if the Rams go out and sign,

916
00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:38,880
Speaker 1: or if the Rams, like you know, think about it,

917
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,200
Speaker 1: if they trade for Jimmy Garoppolo, yeah you know what

918
00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: I mean, or something like that. I mean in their

919
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 1: own division. The Niners might not have it. Uh, they

920
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 1: may not want to do that. But if they go

921
00:46:48,239 --> 00:46:50,879
Speaker 1: out and get a veteran quarterback. That is a dead

922
00:46:50,960 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: giveaway that Stafford's injury is lingering. It's gonna be a

923
00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:57,680
Speaker 1: long term but at denis in your throwing elbow is

924
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:04,960
Speaker 1: no joke. Or it could be as well. John Wolford's there,

925
00:47:05,080 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 1: he was there last year. He backed him up. They

926
00:47:07,239 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 1: may like him. Yeah, maybe he's ready to make a

927
00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,080
Speaker 1: jump right and maybe they want to see what he's

928
00:47:12,080 --> 00:47:13,600
Speaker 1: all about as well, or maybe they you know, he

929
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 1: knows the offense. It's a lot of eggs to put

930
00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:18,200
Speaker 1: in that basket coming off a Super Bowl championship. But

931
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 1: even so, if Stafford's not available, they gotta have a

932
00:47:20,200 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: third guy anyway. So we'll see. But it's She's right.

933
00:47:24,520 --> 00:47:26,640
Speaker 1: The longer training camp goes on. The Morris concern it is,

934
00:47:26,680 --> 00:47:29,960
Speaker 1: But the words coming out of Matt Stafford's mouth will

935
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:32,239
Speaker 1: tell you that he's like, he's shrugging his shoulder. He's like, man,

936
00:47:32,360 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 1: he's he's gonna be fine. He is not. I don't

937
00:47:34,440 --> 00:47:37,160
Speaker 1: think he is concerned at all about his ability to

938
00:47:37,239 --> 00:47:39,480
Speaker 1: start on a day one, And I just wonder entire

939
00:47:39,560 --> 00:47:42,880
Speaker 1: season what his ability to put a little extra on

940
00:47:42,920 --> 00:47:44,360
Speaker 1: the ball when he needs to to fit it in

941
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,800
Speaker 1: a tight window. How does it feel when he does that?

942
00:47:47,400 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 1: How effectively can he do that? Is his accuracy compromise

943
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,799
Speaker 1: because the pain is compromising his mechanics, Like these are

944
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:58,840
Speaker 1: all things that I wonder about. And you know the

945
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:00,800
Speaker 1: way to cure attend and I this is with rest.

946
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:03,840
Speaker 1: If you're playing, you're not doing that. Even if you

947
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 1: practice just once a week, you're still not giving it

948
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:09,440
Speaker 1: enough time to calm down, heal up where it feels

949
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,400
Speaker 1: like I used to. So it's going to be something

950
00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:17,080
Speaker 1: to monitor, especially if you are a future Rams opponent

951
00:48:17,200 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: and the Bills are the first one on the docket.

952
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,560
Speaker 1: Getting back to Tucker real quick. Steve Guy is a

953
00:48:22,680 --> 00:48:26,359
Speaker 1: career ninety one percent field goal kicker. I don't think

954
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 1: there is a kicker in the history of the league

955
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 1: that finished their career as a ninety one percent field

956
00:48:31,560 --> 00:48:33,879
Speaker 1: goal kicker. And here he is the last three years.

957
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,879
Speaker 1: You're ready. Steve twenty eight to twenty nine, twenty six

958
00:48:37,960 --> 00:48:41,480
Speaker 1: of twenty nine, thirty five of thirty seven last year

959
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:45,759
Speaker 1: a career high ninety four point six percent success rate.

960
00:48:46,080 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 1: Last year is a thirty two year old. Hello, that's

961
00:48:50,400 --> 00:48:54,080
Speaker 1: why you get an extension, not to mention the fact

962
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 1: that he was a perfect six for six from fifty

963
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:01,880
Speaker 1: yards plus thirteen of fifteen from forty yards, So forty

964
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,840
Speaker 1: yards plus last year, Steve the Dude was nineteen of

965
00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:10,719
Speaker 1: twenty one. That is stupid. Yeah, that is. It's and

966
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:16,759
Speaker 1: he's Baltimore kicks off of a natural surface too. Outdoors,

967
00:49:17,840 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 1: He's and he's in his division. He never plays indoors.

968
00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:28,160
Speaker 1: He's playing in Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati. Like he's not playing

969
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:31,640
Speaker 1: in the NFC North or the or the NFC South

970
00:49:31,719 --> 00:49:34,080
Speaker 1: where you get to kick in New Orleans and kick

971
00:49:34,160 --> 00:49:39,719
Speaker 1: in Atlanta and Carolina and Tampa. Right, Yeah, playing in

972
00:49:39,760 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 1: the AFC North outdoors his whole division schedule. Yep. Yeah,

973
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:46,320
Speaker 1: he's impressive. Yeah, he's. I mean, that guy is on

974
00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:48,719
Speaker 1: a rocket ship to the Hall of Fame. He is,

975
00:49:49,280 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 1: absolutely he is. He's um. He has set the bar

976
00:49:52,560 --> 00:49:55,200
Speaker 1: even higher. Can you imagine he'll be the first field

977
00:49:55,200 --> 00:49:56,799
Speaker 1: goal kicker I think in the history of the league

978
00:49:57,120 --> 00:49:59,320
Speaker 1: if he can maintain this, to finish it over ninety

979
00:49:59,680 --> 00:50:02,520
Speaker 1: six for a career, and not only that, it's gonna

980
00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 1: be a long career. It's not like it's going to

981
00:50:04,440 --> 00:50:08,239
Speaker 1: be like a three year he's played ten years already, right, amazing,

982
00:50:08,280 --> 00:50:12,160
Speaker 1: he's gonna be he is amazing, He really really is ill.

983
00:50:12,400 --> 00:50:14,359
Speaker 1: It would be interesting to pick his brain about what's

984
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,080
Speaker 1: important to him as and why is because you know

985
00:50:17,160 --> 00:50:21,960
Speaker 1: he's had to have had different holders during his career, right, yes,

986
00:50:22,520 --> 00:50:24,279
Speaker 1: and he's gonna have a new holder this year because

987
00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,239
Speaker 1: Sam Cook the punter, retired and they drafted a punter,

988
00:50:28,440 --> 00:50:31,439
Speaker 1: Jake Camarda, so they may have a brand new holder

989
00:50:31,480 --> 00:50:33,279
Speaker 1: for him. Be interesting to see what happens to that

990
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:35,840
Speaker 1: percentage of this year if it's impacted by having a

991
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:38,719
Speaker 1: new holder. I would tend to think not based on

992
00:50:38,840 --> 00:50:44,440
Speaker 1: previous history here. So yeah, just an amazing kicker, well deserved.

993
00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:48,160
Speaker 1: So congratulations to Justin Tucker. Four years, twenty four million dollars.

994
00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:50,600
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here. When we return,

995
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:54,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by CBS Sports Pete Prisco somewhere

996
00:50:54,880 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 1: in the next hour. But we have other topics to

997
00:50:57,360 --> 00:51:00,560
Speaker 1: discuss with you as well, concerning Bill's press this today.

998
00:51:00,640 --> 00:51:02,880
Speaker 1: Steve and I will get to that when we return

999
00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:05,560
Speaker 1: here On one Bill's Live, presented by Claude Elfit's Buffalo

1000
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:26,120
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker who has been all

1001
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:28,320
Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

1002
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:34,839
Speaker 1: dual role player for you, Steve, Steve a blimp. We're

1003
00:51:34,920 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 1: not even in the straded beer of normalcy. All right.

1004
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,560
Speaker 1: There we go our number two on a Monday, Saint

1005
00:51:44,640 --> 00:51:48,400
Speaker 1: John Fisher University Bills training camp, and I wanted to

1006
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,040
Speaker 1: talk to Steve a little bit more about what we

1007
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:53,200
Speaker 1: witnessed on the practice field today, and that was a

1008
00:51:53,400 --> 00:51:57,680
Speaker 1: fervent pass rush. They were calling some blitz calls and

1009
00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,640
Speaker 1: Josh and the other quarterbacks were on the run an

1010
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:05,440
Speaker 1: awful lot because the penetration was very good, not only

1011
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,359
Speaker 1: inside but off the edges. I liked what I saw

1012
00:52:08,480 --> 00:52:12,560
Speaker 1: from Greg Rousseau today. I liked what I saw. Who

1013
00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:16,839
Speaker 1: else kind of flashed for me? Yeah, Jordan Phillips had

1014
00:52:16,840 --> 00:52:18,440
Speaker 1: a couple of good pushes up the middle. I liked

1015
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: aj epiness on a couple of plays, which was nice

1016
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,839
Speaker 1: to see. It's a big year for him. Yeah. Uh.

1017
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: And there were some other guys further down the depth

1018
00:52:26,239 --> 00:52:28,719
Speaker 1: chart as well. Mike Love had a nice rush one time,

1019
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:32,160
Speaker 1: as did Markuel Lee. Chack had a Winchack had you know,

1020
00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: So there was some they were doing it. I we

1021
00:52:34,600 --> 00:52:36,640
Speaker 1: were watching you and I were standing there, you know,

1022
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 1: watching one on one pass rush today and we're in

1023
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:44,879
Speaker 1: you know, the offensive lineman one on one they did

1024
00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:46,320
Speaker 1: more than to hold their own. They did had a

1025
00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:47,839
Speaker 1: nice day and there were some guys that got through

1026
00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,719
Speaker 1: us some good rush there is no question, particularly off

1027
00:52:49,760 --> 00:52:52,720
Speaker 1: the edges. But uh, and you know, the offensive linemen

1028
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: were rotating through. So everybody's getting a rep, you know,

1029
00:52:55,080 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 1: the guys that rookie free agents as well as you know,

1030
00:52:57,640 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: the guys who were you know, the finger quotes five maybe,

1031
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:04,520
Speaker 1: but everybody's taking rest. But the offensive line looked good.

1032
00:53:06,840 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 1: They're getting more and more guys back. Saffold got back

1033
00:53:10,640 --> 00:53:12,640
Speaker 1: in the lineup, took a few reps today, so did

1034
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown. He's back taking a few reps today. All

1035
00:53:17,480 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: those guys are, you know, starting to get healthier. But

1036
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:26,839
Speaker 1: I thought today the pass rush was schemed up really

1037
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:28,840
Speaker 1: well by Leslie Fraser and they started to do some

1038
00:53:28,920 --> 00:53:30,840
Speaker 1: little more exotic things. And I think it's one of

1039
00:53:30,880 --> 00:53:33,000
Speaker 1: those days where the offensive linestand they're going, oh wait,

1040
00:53:33,040 --> 00:53:35,400
Speaker 1: we haven't seen that. Now. They got to catch up

1041
00:53:35,440 --> 00:53:37,200
Speaker 1: to it in the film room and then hopefully they

1042
00:53:37,320 --> 00:53:39,239
Speaker 1: come out and they're better on Wednesday. I think they

1043
00:53:39,320 --> 00:53:43,399
Speaker 1: were It's different when you've got things you might expects

1044
00:53:43,640 --> 00:53:46,320
Speaker 1: as an offensive line. But man, they saw some It

1045
00:53:46,360 --> 00:53:48,080
Speaker 1: was obvious to me, at least there looked like that

1046
00:53:48,160 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 1: way to me that they saw some stunts they had

1047
00:53:50,239 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 1: not seen yet or had not had a chance to

1048
00:53:52,160 --> 00:53:54,320
Speaker 1: work very much on with the combination of guys in

1049
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:57,920
Speaker 1: the game that they had. We want to address a

1050
00:53:58,040 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 1: thing that's circulating through social media, thanks in large part

1051
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:04,680
Speaker 1: to a comment that Odell Beckham Junior made on Von

1052
00:54:04,800 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 1: Miller's feed. So von Miller made a comment, and you know,

1053
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,480
Speaker 1: some people in the NFL said, oh, fire, you know,

1054
00:54:15,680 --> 00:54:22,959
Speaker 1: it's great, whatever, and then OBJ comes into the chat

1055
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 1: and basically says, hey, what is your locker What does

1056
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:29,760
Speaker 1: the locker next to you look like in that Bill's

1057
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,000
Speaker 1: locker room? And so everybody takes that to mean that

1058
00:54:33,560 --> 00:54:37,480
Speaker 1: OBJ is angling to sign with the Bills at some

1059
00:54:37,640 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 1: point in time, as attractive as that might sound for people,

1060
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:43,960
Speaker 1: including the ones putting up images of him in a

1061
00:54:44,000 --> 00:54:47,719
Speaker 1: Bill's jersey on social media. We need to remind everybody

1062
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,080
Speaker 1: that this team currently only has about five million dollars

1063
00:54:51,160 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 1: in camp space. That is the cap space that one

1064
00:54:54,800 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: Brandon Being likes to have at his disposal during the

1065
00:54:58,160 --> 00:55:01,239
Speaker 1: regular season in case there's a rash of injuries and

1066
00:55:01,360 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 1: he needs to sign people on an emergency basis. Now

1067
00:55:05,440 --> 00:55:10,160
Speaker 1: that five million dollars of cap space only exists now

1068
00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 1: because only the top fifty one salaries on the roster

1069
00:55:13,400 --> 00:55:16,760
Speaker 1: count towards the cap. When the first when the final

1070
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,960
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster is set, those rules change. It

1071
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:23,440
Speaker 1: is then the fifty three man roster plus whoever you

1072
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:27,600
Speaker 1: have on ir practice squad, etc. And so that will

1073
00:55:27,680 --> 00:55:30,759
Speaker 1: balloon the balloon the total figure up to the point

1074
00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:33,640
Speaker 1: where they have no cap room. And Brandon Bean said

1075
00:55:33,640 --> 00:55:37,520
Speaker 1: it two weeks ago on WGR in an interview. When

1076
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: they set the fifty three man roster, they will need

1077
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 1: to make a move to get under the cap, which

1078
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:49,520
Speaker 1: essentially means someone of some respectable salary ilk will have

1079
00:55:49,680 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: to probably be moved off the roster, restructured, or have

1080
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:56,759
Speaker 1: a contract renegotiated, or take a pay cut, or maybe

1081
00:55:56,800 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 1: it's multiple players. I don't know. It'll be interesting to see.

1082
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,440
Speaker 1: Back in the day, there's always been guys who were

1083
00:56:02,440 --> 00:56:05,200
Speaker 1: surprised cuts. Veteran guys who you know, we love and

1084
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: respect that don't make the team, and it used to

1085
00:56:07,960 --> 00:56:10,359
Speaker 1: happen a lot during the run up to building the roster,

1086
00:56:10,560 --> 00:56:13,520
Speaker 1: But this year the Bills are looking staring in the

1087
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 1: face at some redos, some restructurings, or some outright releases

1088
00:56:17,880 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 1: that maybe at the beginning of this camp none of

1089
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 1: us were expecting. Yeah, and so with that in mind,

1090
00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:26,120
Speaker 1: and this might be a mood point anyway, because I

1091
00:56:26,160 --> 00:56:28,359
Speaker 1: don't think Odell Beckham Junior is expected to be ready

1092
00:56:28,440 --> 00:56:32,080
Speaker 1: until October or November, or maybe even December at the earliest.

1093
00:56:33,640 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: But to think that they're going to be adding a

1094
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:39,320
Speaker 1: piece like that that's going to come at a price,

1095
00:56:40,360 --> 00:56:44,880
Speaker 1: even off an ACL injury, I don't think it works

1096
00:56:45,160 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 1: right now, based on where the Bill's salary situation is

1097
00:56:50,360 --> 00:56:52,879
Speaker 1: and knowing what is sitting in front of Brandon being

1098
00:56:52,920 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: when the fifty three man roster gets said, they're going

1099
00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,839
Speaker 1: to have to move some money around just to get

1100
00:56:57,960 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 1: under the camp without adding anybody. So the thought of

1101
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:06,200
Speaker 1: adding somebody of any salary repute, I think is wishful

1102
00:57:06,280 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: thinking right now. And if if that was gonna happen,

1103
00:57:08,680 --> 00:57:10,600
Speaker 1: I would think the Bills would sit tight with the

1104
00:57:10,680 --> 00:57:12,360
Speaker 1: guys they've got because they like all the guy the

1105
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:14,080
Speaker 1: guys they go, they feel like they've got enough guys

1106
00:57:14,120 --> 00:57:15,680
Speaker 1: to go into the season with and play extremely well

1107
00:57:15,719 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 1: at wide receiver. Now Odell Beckham when he comes back

1108
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,360
Speaker 1: and he's a he like he was last year in

1109
00:57:21,400 --> 00:57:23,320
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl when he was carrying the team before

1110
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 1: he went out UH with a with a knee injury,

1111
00:57:26,360 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 1: a non contact knee injury. If he comes back and

1112
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 1: they work him out and he looks like that, well

1113
00:57:32,200 --> 00:57:34,960
Speaker 1: in October or November and he's still out there, they

1114
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:37,480
Speaker 1: could say, well, you know what, let's move some things

1115
00:57:37,520 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 1: around UM, because then you only have to pay half

1116
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:45,320
Speaker 1: a year's salary and it's pro rated and some other

1117
00:57:45,400 --> 00:57:47,520
Speaker 1: things have changed. Perhaps you know, you got some guys

1118
00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:50,560
Speaker 1: on IR, you got some more cap room because of that, UH,

1119
00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,760
Speaker 1: and the season has progressed in such ways to allow

1120
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,080
Speaker 1: it to happen. But they're not Yeah, they're not gonna

1121
00:57:56,080 --> 00:58:00,280
Speaker 1: sign Odell Beckham. I don't think. Certainly they've kick the

1122
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:02,000
Speaker 1: tires and they're talking to him, but I don't you

1123
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:04,680
Speaker 1: know everybody, he's not signed with anybody right now, and

1124
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,000
Speaker 1: there's a reason for that. Everybody is very concerned about

1125
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,080
Speaker 1: his knee and how it's coming as progressing on his

1126
00:58:09,160 --> 00:58:15,040
Speaker 1: way back. One other AFC East news note, Jets right

1127
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:20,880
Speaker 1: tackle McKay Beckton suffered a knee injury. It was the

1128
00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:24,840
Speaker 1: surgically repaired knee that he injured, but the update is

1129
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:28,400
Speaker 1: even though he limped off the field, head coach Robert

1130
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:31,600
Speaker 1: Salis said that his knee is stable and that the

1131
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:33,680
Speaker 1: injury does not seem to be a big deal in

1132
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: terms of severity. They will check with an MRI. I'm

1133
00:58:38,680 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 1: just gonna say this, Steve. The more I hear coming

1134
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:45,720
Speaker 1: out of Jets camp about McKay Beckton, the more I

1135
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: believe he is going to be the next Mike Williams.

1136
00:58:49,600 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 1: And for those that those fans that are not old

1137
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,360
Speaker 1: enough to know, Mike Williams was the Bill's first round

1138
00:58:55,400 --> 00:58:57,439
Speaker 1: pick in two thousand and two. He was the fourth

1139
00:58:57,520 --> 00:59:00,600
Speaker 1: overall pick in the draft, six foot six, three hundred

1140
00:59:00,600 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: and sixty pounds and moved like a dancing bear. He was, Lodrach, said,

1141
00:59:04,440 --> 00:59:07,640
Speaker 1: the director of College Scout, absolutely an incredible athlete and

1142
00:59:07,920 --> 00:59:12,480
Speaker 1: phenomenal athlete. The problem was, Mike Williams did not love

1143
00:59:12,600 --> 00:59:16,480
Speaker 1: football with a burning passion, and so anytime he had

1144
00:59:16,480 --> 00:59:19,560
Speaker 1: a hangnail or a slight injury problem. He would miss

1145
00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:23,120
Speaker 1: time on the practice field, he would miss games. He

1146
00:59:23,440 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: conveniently would not show up for offseason workouts, especially when

1147
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: they were voluntary. There was always something he had attend to,

1148
00:59:30,600 --> 00:59:33,920
Speaker 1: a personal family matter, you know, this, that or the other.

1149
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:35,560
Speaker 1: It was one of those guys that notorious. So you

1150
00:59:35,640 --> 00:59:37,400
Speaker 1: come out from the beginning of practice, the coaches are

1151
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 1: running through some things, walking through some things with some

1152
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:42,400
Speaker 1: players before practice begins, they're walking through some things, and

1153
00:59:42,480 --> 00:59:45,439
Speaker 1: Mike Williams was never there. He's always like guy he'd

1154
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: walk over and he'd had to fix his fix his tape.

1155
00:59:48,520 --> 00:59:51,040
Speaker 1: He's over here fixing his shoes, getting his extra shoe taped,

1156
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,560
Speaker 1: you know anything. He could do something just to you know,

1157
00:59:54,840 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 1: do his own thing and not have to take time.

1158
00:59:56,520 --> 00:59:58,280
Speaker 1: That's a guy that just did not have the fire

1159
00:59:58,320 --> 01:00:03,560
Speaker 1: in the belly or the the driving motivation that you

1160
01:00:03,680 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 1: need within you to be successful in this league for

1161
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:08,600
Speaker 1: a long period of time. I don't know McKay Beckton,

1162
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 1: but a lot of what is coming back on McKay

1163
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:15,960
Speaker 1: Beckton is is mirroring a lot of what we saw

1164
01:00:16,120 --> 01:00:19,400
Speaker 1: here with Mike Williams. And it was not a long career.

1165
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: It was amazing. He lasted as long as he did

1166
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:24,480
Speaker 1: well when your organization had an enormous amount of patience

1167
01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,960
Speaker 1: right six six three fifty plus pounds and really he

1168
01:00:28,080 --> 01:00:30,480
Speaker 1: was a real athlete, Yes, and he got a chance

1169
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:32,560
Speaker 1: to He left then came back for a year two

1170
01:00:32,600 --> 01:00:37,480
Speaker 1: with Washington or whatever. Uh, just he didn't want to play.

1171
01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,280
Speaker 1: He did he did not want to play, and that

1172
01:00:40,480 --> 01:00:45,560
Speaker 1: was why he's not still playing, you know. So, Um,

1173
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,760
Speaker 1: there's that. There's not only that, the McKay Beckton, who

1174
01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: was you know, went from left tackle to right tackle

1175
01:00:53,160 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 1: for the Jets and was kind of going down the

1176
01:00:55,120 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: pecking order and was he was a little out of

1177
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:01,240
Speaker 1: shaping all that. Today, Jamis Winston rolled his ankle starting

1178
01:01:01,320 --> 01:01:04,920
Speaker 1: quarterback for the new of the New Orleans Saints, just

1179
01:01:05,080 --> 01:01:07,840
Speaker 1: coming off an ACL last year. He was playing extremely

1180
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:11,520
Speaker 1: good for the Saints last year, taking over for Drew

1181
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 1: Brees acl out for the rest of the season. Saints tank,

1182
01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:17,960
Speaker 1: I mean just went in the tank. Yeah, comes back

1183
01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:21,120
Speaker 1: this year, ready to get going, new head coach, new outlook,

1184
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:23,680
Speaker 1: ready go. And he rolled his ankle today, So he's

1185
01:01:23,720 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 1: out for a foreseeable Fum. You almost start to feel

1186
01:01:27,720 --> 01:01:30,880
Speaker 1: bad for a guy like that. Sometimes that happens. These

1187
01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,240
Speaker 1: injuries come in rapid succession, and a guy can't get

1188
01:01:33,280 --> 01:01:36,840
Speaker 1: back on track. A lot in the past, I'm sure

1189
01:01:36,920 --> 01:01:39,280
Speaker 1: that Jameis Winston won't be the last. Yeah, and even

1190
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: there there happenstance situations. You know, you're getting an acl no,

1191
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you do? What's he doing? You

1192
01:01:44,440 --> 01:01:47,280
Speaker 1: know it's it's half of those right, non contact. Then

1193
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:51,480
Speaker 1: he wrote, he rolls his ankle, and all of a sudden,

1194
01:01:51,520 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 1: you start getting injuries like that, and then he gets us.

1195
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:56,720
Speaker 1: Then he gets a you know whatever, whacked wrist or something.

1196
01:01:57,320 --> 01:01:59,720
Speaker 1: You get this string of injuries, and all of a sudden,

1197
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:04,200
Speaker 1: the club just gets tired away. He loses patience with you,

1198
01:02:04,440 --> 01:02:06,680
Speaker 1: tired away. They're just they're tired away. And he can

1199
01:02:06,800 --> 01:02:08,760
Speaker 1: and he'll go on. He can go someplace like they'd

1200
01:02:08,840 --> 01:02:12,640
Speaker 1: like Tampa Bay did with Jameis Winston. You know, there's

1201
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: a guy through thirty one touchdowns and thirty one interceptions,

1202
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,440
Speaker 1: and they were I'm done with him. They were done

1203
01:02:18,480 --> 01:02:19,920
Speaker 1: with him. So he goes over to the Saints and

1204
01:02:19,960 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, he's actually having a He had

1205
01:02:21,640 --> 01:02:23,960
Speaker 1: a pretty good year got a little different coaching and

1206
01:02:24,200 --> 01:02:27,880
Speaker 1: even had it turned in the right direction. Speaking of quarterbacks,

1207
01:02:28,240 --> 01:02:32,720
Speaker 1: the backup quarterbacks for the Bills, Um spoke to the

1208
01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,840
Speaker 1: media after practice today. I believe this is the first

1209
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,960
Speaker 1: time that Bills fans have the opportunity to hear from

1210
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,600
Speaker 1: new backup quarterback Case Keenum. He addressed the media today

1211
01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:48,160
Speaker 1: after practice. We have his comments for you now, so

1212
01:02:48,320 --> 01:02:50,959
Speaker 1: let's turn to Case Keenum, who addressed the media after

1213
01:02:51,040 --> 01:02:57,440
Speaker 1: practice today. Now, they were very bold to train. How

1214
01:02:57,480 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 1: do you think he's been adapting. I think, well, um,

1215
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just reps. Uh. You know, this

1216
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,720
Speaker 1: is is something they've been doing for a while together.

1217
01:03:08,920 --> 01:03:13,800
Speaker 1: So with Doris and Josh, you know, even Matt sometimes

1218
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,800
Speaker 1: talk about something that they've done before. Hey, let's do

1219
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:18,160
Speaker 1: it like this, like this, you know, I'm kind of

1220
01:03:18,160 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: playing catch up and a lot of those things. But

1221
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:24,400
Speaker 1: banking reps uh, and then banking reps, watching what Josh

1222
01:03:24,560 --> 01:03:27,480
Speaker 1: is doing and what he's telling guys how he's doing it. Uh,

1223
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,320
Speaker 1: those are all very important things and things you need

1224
01:03:29,400 --> 01:03:32,000
Speaker 1: in training camp to uh uh, you know, to get

1225
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:36,040
Speaker 1: everybody on the same page and see defenses, see routes,

1226
01:03:36,360 --> 01:03:39,000
Speaker 1: see how guys are in and out of breaks, see

1227
01:03:39,040 --> 01:03:41,200
Speaker 1: all those things the same way, see all those things

1228
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 1: the same way, and it's it's important. It's it's it's

1229
01:03:43,760 --> 01:03:49,600
Speaker 1: going really well, Josh relationships. It's just quarterbacks now, but

1230
01:03:49,680 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 1: he's the offensive coordinator. What's your sense, maybe coming in

1231
01:03:53,440 --> 01:03:55,840
Speaker 1: from the outside of what the level of communication isn't

1232
01:03:55,960 --> 01:04:00,400
Speaker 1: in a play calling department? How is that transition going

1233
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:03,640
Speaker 1: from where I mean, I think it's as good of

1234
01:04:03,720 --> 01:04:09,520
Speaker 1: a relationship and communication seeing to feel the same way, uh,

1235
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 1: knowing the play callers intent. Um, with those two guys,

1236
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 1: it's it's as good as I've ever ever been around. Uh,

1237
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:20,200
Speaker 1: it's it's impressive to know the confidence that Doris has

1238
01:04:20,280 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: in Josh. Uh, the confidence Josh has in the play call. Uh.

1239
01:04:24,560 --> 01:04:27,640
Speaker 1: But then also being able to see something, Hey, I

1240
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,600
Speaker 1: see it this way, I'm gonna change it up. I'm

1241
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:32,960
Speaker 1: gonna do this. Uh, it's it's it's really cool. It's

1242
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:34,640
Speaker 1: fun to watch, cool to cool to be behind the

1243
01:04:34,680 --> 01:04:39,120
Speaker 1: scenes and get to see what's really going on. It's great,

1244
01:04:39,360 --> 01:04:41,320
Speaker 1: it's really good. Uh. We see it a lot of

1245
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,640
Speaker 1: the same ways. Um, you know, we have some differences

1246
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:47,960
Speaker 1: in background and just kind of uh different different schemes

1247
01:04:48,000 --> 01:04:51,520
Speaker 1: and how we've done things before. But uh, you know this,

1248
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 1: I've I've told him, I'm I'm fully converted. H I love.

1249
01:04:55,280 --> 01:04:57,439
Speaker 1: I love what they got going on and it's it's

1250
01:04:57,520 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 1: really cool. Uh and uh I'm I'm definitely all in

1251
01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 1: and I love it. It's it's a great offense. Uh,

1252
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,600
Speaker 1: it's a great operation just the way things are are going.

1253
01:05:07,200 --> 01:05:10,480
Speaker 1: And uh, I love it. I'm all in. How does

1254
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: it work for you? You'ven be a competitive guy, You've

1255
01:05:12,880 --> 01:05:16,560
Speaker 1: earned starting jobs, you've played playoffs, You've come here. It's

1256
01:05:16,680 --> 01:05:19,560
Speaker 1: established when Josh is the portable. So what's your mind

1257
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:23,200
Speaker 1: coming in here? And how has that adapting to knowing

1258
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: your role? I guess coming in and still keeping that

1259
01:05:25,440 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: competitive nature worked for you this year? Yeah, I've I've

1260
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 1: always treated, um, you know, my job as being ready

1261
01:05:35,240 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: to play, being ready to go out and get first downs,

1262
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,560
Speaker 1: tournament and drives, give the touchdowns and win games. So

1263
01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:44,880
Speaker 1: that's that's how I prepare, no matter what. Um. I

1264
01:05:45,120 --> 01:05:47,400
Speaker 1: literally I think I've been in almost every situation you

1265
01:05:47,440 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 1: can be in competing for a third wound up starting

1266
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:52,400
Speaker 1: a full year, being a you know, the franchise guy,

1267
01:05:52,600 --> 01:05:54,400
Speaker 1: being a backup, getting pulled in for a couple of

1268
01:05:54,440 --> 01:05:57,480
Speaker 1: games and back out. Uh So I've I've been kind

1269
01:05:57,520 --> 01:05:59,600
Speaker 1: of all over the place when it comes to a

1270
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:02,720
Speaker 1: lot of um, you know, for me, I'm trying to

1271
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm trying to get myself to where I'll be able

1272
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:08,640
Speaker 1: to drive this really cool sports car that Josh is

1273
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:11,520
Speaker 1: driving right now. If you know, if something happens, maybe

1274
01:06:11,680 --> 01:06:17,960
Speaker 1: is shoelace you know, comes untied or something. Uh. I

1275
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,440
Speaker 1: love Buffalo man, this place is awesome. Are you kidding?

1276
01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: These guys are crazy and it's it's cool. But uh

1277
01:06:23,520 --> 01:06:25,680
Speaker 1: but yeah, it's uh, it's like a sports car. I'm

1278
01:06:25,720 --> 01:06:26,880
Speaker 1: trying to get to where I can drive it a

1279
01:06:26,920 --> 01:06:29,080
Speaker 1: little bit and then hand the keys back over if

1280
01:06:29,280 --> 01:06:33,400
Speaker 1: if if needed, be all right. That's case Keenum comparing

1281
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:37,240
Speaker 1: the Bill's offensive system to a sports car and hope

1282
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,320
Speaker 1: he gets well, he's probably not hoping he gets the

1283
01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 1: keys right. That means Josh is preseason. Sure he can

1284
01:06:43,600 --> 01:06:47,080
Speaker 1: rev it up if you test that kind of stuff.

1285
01:06:47,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 1: We have to take a break here because when we

1286
01:06:49,320 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: come back, we're gonna be joined by CBS Sports NFL

1287
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:55,480
Speaker 1: analyst Pete Priscom, who was took in training camp today,

1288
01:06:55,560 --> 01:06:57,760
Speaker 1: we'll get his thoughts on what he saw on the

1289
01:06:57,840 --> 01:07:01,200
Speaker 1: practice field, and maybe the lead at large get a

1290
01:07:01,240 --> 01:07:03,680
Speaker 1: little bit bigger perspective than we usually have here on

1291
01:07:03,800 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 1: One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1292
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: All right, Welcome back to One Bills Live, Chris Brown,

1293
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,640
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker. Here Bill's training camp at Saint John Fisher

1294
01:07:25,840 --> 01:07:29,640
Speaker 1: and please to be joined now by senior analyst for

1295
01:07:29,840 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 1: CBS Sports it is Pete Prisco, who has been covering

1296
01:07:32,880 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: the NFL probably as long as you've been playing, Steve. Yeah.

1297
01:07:39,360 --> 01:07:43,120
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm an old man. So I know you

1298
01:07:43,200 --> 01:07:45,760
Speaker 1: were at the Hall of Fame ceremonies this weekend. Why

1299
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:48,800
Speaker 1: don't you just give us your thoughts on that. I

1300
01:07:48,920 --> 01:07:51,400
Speaker 1: know you were there primarily for Tony Biselli having covered

1301
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:54,200
Speaker 1: his career. But how was the weekend? It's I mean,

1302
01:07:54,280 --> 01:07:57,280
Speaker 1: it's never bad. It's always induction weekend. It's a great

1303
01:07:57,280 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 1: weekend because you see all everybody legends, you know, walk

1304
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,880
Speaker 1: around and it's interesting to see how everybody's doing. Who

1305
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,480
Speaker 1: looks good, who doesn't, you know, because sometimes guys go

1306
01:08:05,600 --> 01:08:06,760
Speaker 1: from one year and I haven't been back in a

1307
01:08:06,840 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: long time. But I'll always watch it and you see

1308
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:10,600
Speaker 1: guys come back and maybe they don't look as good

1309
01:08:10,600 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 1: as they did a year ago, but most of the

1310
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 1: guys were still sharp. And you know, it was great

1311
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,360
Speaker 1: to see Tony BASSELLI finally get in. And you know,

1312
01:08:16,439 --> 01:08:17,880
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that had to fight to

1313
01:08:17,920 --> 01:08:20,040
Speaker 1: fight because he didn't have a long career. And I've

1314
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,519
Speaker 1: known him for a long time. He's a friend of mine.

1315
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:24,320
Speaker 1: I've known Leroy Butler a long time. He's a Jacksonville kid.

1316
01:08:24,360 --> 01:08:26,080
Speaker 1: So I used to play cards with Leroy back in

1317
01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,000
Speaker 1: the day and I joke with him, I said, yoe

1318
01:08:28,080 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 1: me fifty still. So I don't know, you don't know

1319
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:32,559
Speaker 1: if all things that, but it's it was a great

1320
01:08:32,560 --> 01:08:35,560
Speaker 1: weekend and I really enjoyed myself. And what did you

1321
01:08:35,680 --> 01:08:37,960
Speaker 1: clean out of anything of the first preseason game if

1322
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,519
Speaker 1: you watched it, Yeah, I mean Jacksonville didn't play twenty guys.

1323
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,400
Speaker 1: I mean they sat a bunch of guys. It's hard

1324
01:08:43,439 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 1: to you know, It's just like when you come out

1325
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:46,840
Speaker 1: here for a practice, like when I was watching the

1326
01:08:46,920 --> 01:08:48,880
Speaker 1: Bills today. If you walked down on the field today

1327
01:08:48,880 --> 01:08:50,559
Speaker 1: and you said, oh my god, the defense just dominated

1328
01:08:50,600 --> 01:08:52,760
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, for most of that practice. And

1329
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:54,720
Speaker 1: then I talked to Josh Allen after he said, yeah,

1330
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:56,240
Speaker 1: well we're working on a second and long and third

1331
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,000
Speaker 1: and long, so they have an advantage. You know how

1332
01:08:58,040 --> 01:09:01,600
Speaker 1: competitive he yea. So it's practice in preseason and you

1333
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 1: know this because you played. It's always so hard to

1334
01:09:03,960 --> 01:09:06,439
Speaker 1: evaluate it. You can tell who can play and who

1335
01:09:06,520 --> 01:09:08,479
Speaker 1: can't play, but as far as scheming things up, I

1336
01:09:08,520 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: think it's hard. We are looking and we were talking

1337
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: about this on the show last week as a pertainous

1338
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:16,599
Speaker 1: of the Bills. You know, this was a number one

1339
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,200
Speaker 1: defense in football last year, not just in total defense,

1340
01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:24,160
Speaker 1: but past defense, third down defense, scoring defense, number of categories,

1341
01:09:24,320 --> 01:09:27,679
Speaker 1: number one, and in looking at this group, we actually

1342
01:09:27,760 --> 01:09:29,800
Speaker 1: believe there's a chance that could be an even better unit.

1343
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,400
Speaker 1: Even if they're not ranked number one in all those categories,

1344
01:09:32,439 --> 01:09:35,240
Speaker 1: it might be a more dominant defensive unitis. You know,

1345
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 1: it's funny if you walked around the league and ask

1346
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:38,519
Speaker 1: people who the number one defense in the league last

1347
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,559
Speaker 1: year was, they wouldn't say the Bills. You wouldn't see

1348
01:09:40,560 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 1: it that way. That's why when you look at this, David,

1349
01:09:43,360 --> 01:09:44,720
Speaker 1: they might not be number one but you're right, they

1350
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: will be a better defense. And I think the difference

1351
01:09:47,160 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: is von Miller. You always have to have sack fumble,

1352
01:09:51,560 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 1: gameover guy on your roster, and the Bills had guys

1353
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 1: who could rush the passer, but they didn't have that guy.

1354
01:09:57,760 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 1: And that's what von Miller will do for them. But

1355
01:09:59,479 --> 01:10:02,679
Speaker 1: you mentioned we talked before that defensive line is loaded.

1356
01:10:02,680 --> 01:10:05,880
Speaker 1: They're gonna roll guys in there, you know, eight guys

1357
01:10:05,960 --> 01:10:08,519
Speaker 1: and in deterior, which has been a problem. You know,

1358
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,080
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver has big people now around them. You know,

1359
01:10:11,160 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: Phillips is a big body. You know, a Quon Jones

1360
01:10:13,400 --> 01:10:15,000
Speaker 1: a big body. And then you get settled who I

1361
01:10:15,080 --> 01:10:17,240
Speaker 1: really like comes in and that's a nice rotation. And

1362
01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:20,040
Speaker 1: outside you got all those guys they drafted and von Miller.

1363
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,040
Speaker 1: They will be a better defense this year than they

1364
01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 1: where you are. Provided White gets back over the field.

1365
01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:27,160
Speaker 1: I think that's important early in the season, right, we

1366
01:10:27,160 --> 01:10:29,479
Speaker 1: still don't know about Tredevious. He hasn't even put a

1367
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:32,719
Speaker 1: jersey on yet. He's working off the side. He looks great.

1368
01:10:32,760 --> 01:10:35,320
Speaker 1: I mean, the guys out there's all rocks up. He's like, yeah,

1369
01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,639
Speaker 1: I mean, he looks phenomenal. But not even a whiff

1370
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:39,080
Speaker 1: of him on the field yet. We'll have to wait

1371
01:10:39,160 --> 01:10:41,799
Speaker 1: and see. But as you see this this these camps

1372
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 1: take place, We've heard, you know, about points of emphasis

1373
01:10:45,200 --> 01:10:46,840
Speaker 1: from the officials, and do you think how do you

1374
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,639
Speaker 1: think the league is going to evolve this year? I said,

1375
01:10:48,800 --> 01:10:51,559
Speaker 1: if they're gonna call illegal contact down the field this year,

1376
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,400
Speaker 1: like we've seen, you may have a handful. You know,

1377
01:10:54,479 --> 01:10:56,000
Speaker 1: you have one or two maybe every once in a

1378
01:10:56,040 --> 01:10:58,719
Speaker 1: while throw for five thousand yard. We may have five

1379
01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,800
Speaker 1: plus through for five thou in yards in the NFL

1380
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:05,040
Speaker 1: if they start further restricting defensive backfield play. Yeah, it's

1381
01:11:05,280 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 1: every rule is aimed at helping the offense. I know

1382
01:11:07,200 --> 01:11:08,600
Speaker 1: it's been that way for a long time and this

1383
01:11:08,680 --> 01:11:11,120
Speaker 1: one will do that as well. And you know, here's

1384
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:13,200
Speaker 1: the interesting thing though, you know we talk about all

1385
01:11:13,240 --> 01:11:14,800
Speaker 1: the throwing and I'm a big throw guy. I always

1386
01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:16,960
Speaker 1: have been. I was a Corel Cooreal guy. I loved

1387
01:11:16,960 --> 01:11:18,640
Speaker 1: your k gut teams. You can run it, but you

1388
01:11:18,680 --> 01:11:22,439
Speaker 1: threw it, and he played fast. I'm thinking that we're

1389
01:11:22,479 --> 01:11:24,360
Speaker 1: gonna start seeing a little trend back the other way.

1390
01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:27,439
Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is, you know, everybody

1391
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:30,559
Speaker 1: has gotten smaller across the board. Now. The Bills haven't

1392
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:32,280
Speaker 1: because they've gotten bigger, but a lot of these defenses

1393
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:35,360
Speaker 1: have gotten smaller and faster and that clever and everything

1394
01:11:35,439 --> 01:11:37,320
Speaker 1: they want to run. You know, the big safety has

1395
01:11:37,360 --> 01:11:39,760
Speaker 1: become the linebacker. The big linebackers, you know, become a

1396
01:11:39,840 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 1: down rush guy. The big the big end is now

1397
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:44,200
Speaker 1: playing inside. And so teams are gonna start looking at

1398
01:11:44,240 --> 01:11:46,240
Speaker 1: and going, you know what, you're gonna play affs like that.

1399
01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 1: We'll spread you out, we'll run it at you, we'll

1400
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:49,599
Speaker 1: pound it at you. And so I think you're gonna

1401
01:11:49,600 --> 01:11:51,759
Speaker 1: see a little bit more of that trend. I wouldn't

1402
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,840
Speaker 1: do it. I hope this team doesn't do it. I

1403
01:11:53,880 --> 01:11:55,720
Speaker 1: hope they played fast. I hope they played like they

1404
01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:58,080
Speaker 1: played against the Chiefs. That's the way I want them

1405
01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:00,280
Speaker 1: to play it. I know, I know Sean doesn't. He's

1406
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,360
Speaker 1: more of a conventional guy, play defense, run the ball

1407
01:12:02,360 --> 01:12:04,200
Speaker 1: a little bit more than what they have in the past.

1408
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:06,439
Speaker 1: I get it, But why not turn that guy loose?

1409
01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:11,960
Speaker 1: We see that Brandon being chose to reinvest in the

1410
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 1: offensive line in the form of veteran pickups, maybe more

1411
01:12:16,040 --> 01:12:18,919
Speaker 1: than anything else. I mean, he drafted a couple attacks

1412
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: last year and Brown and Doyle, but this year the

1413
01:12:22,240 --> 01:12:25,679
Speaker 1: majority of the additions are of the veteran variety, Greg Manns,

1414
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:30,680
Speaker 1: Greg Van Rodden, you know, guys like that, even David Tessenberry.

1415
01:12:30,800 --> 01:12:33,400
Speaker 1: So what do you make of that kind of a

1416
01:12:33,479 --> 01:12:36,559
Speaker 1: build to supplement your offensive line based on what you've

1417
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,080
Speaker 1: seen in roster builds over the years. It tells you

1418
01:12:39,200 --> 01:12:42,759
Speaker 1: that they think they're close because if you have capable backups,

1419
01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:45,479
Speaker 1: guys who could come in and now Sappol will be

1420
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:47,960
Speaker 1: the starter at left guard, yes, but capable backups who

1421
01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:49,680
Speaker 1: could come in and not drop you down that much,

1422
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,679
Speaker 1: because that's the one thing in this league. The second

1423
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:54,680
Speaker 1: offensive line on most teams is awful and you get

1424
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,720
Speaker 1: into that grouping and you have major problems. So they're

1425
01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:59,519
Speaker 1: setting themselves up. We're here now, we're gonna make the run.

1426
01:12:59,560 --> 01:13:01,720
Speaker 1: We're gonna get back there, and if we do have

1427
01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 1: an injury, one of these guys can step forward. I

1428
01:13:04,080 --> 01:13:05,840
Speaker 1: think the addition of Scaffle is very good. I think

1429
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: Bates is a rising player at the other guard. Brown

1430
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 1: will be better than he was. He didn't play as

1431
01:13:09,800 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: well late in the last season. He's going to be

1432
01:13:11,320 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 1: better because I think this experience will make him better.

1433
01:13:13,880 --> 01:13:15,639
Speaker 1: The offensive line is not going to be a problem.

1434
01:13:15,720 --> 01:13:17,160
Speaker 1: It's been a problem at times in the past, it

1435
01:13:17,200 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 1: won't be a problem this year. We've heard this too,

1436
01:13:19,320 --> 01:13:20,960
Speaker 1: and you've been around other camps, so maybe you can

1437
01:13:21,000 --> 01:13:23,400
Speaker 1: fill us in. We only see what we see here.

1438
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:28,160
Speaker 1: I've heard executives stayed around the league for years that

1439
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:31,800
Speaker 1: it's hard to expand the NFL even because there's not

1440
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:34,840
Speaker 1: enough offensive lineman to field thirty two teams, let alone

1441
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,880
Speaker 1: thirty six teams. Do you concur with that? Are there

1442
01:13:37,880 --> 01:13:39,200
Speaker 1: are a lot of teams out there, and then we

1443
01:13:39,240 --> 01:13:40,800
Speaker 1: don't have a guy that can play left guard. We

1444
01:13:40,840 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 1: don't have a guy that can play right guard or

1445
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: a tackle or what have you. I mean, I was

1446
01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:48,640
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati last week and when you look at that

1447
01:13:48,800 --> 01:13:51,120
Speaker 1: team last year, they were a disaster and they got

1448
01:13:51,200 --> 01:13:53,439
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with a bad offensive line. Now so

1449
01:13:53,520 --> 01:13:56,519
Speaker 1: they revamped it and they signed Kappa, you know, they

1450
01:13:56,800 --> 01:13:59,920
Speaker 1: signed Ted Carris, they went out and signed lya alcohol

1451
01:14:00,360 --> 01:14:01,800
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, the offensive line could be

1452
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 1: a strength. But you're right, the depth in the NFL,

1453
01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,559
Speaker 1: I mean, anybody, and I don't know if you guys

1454
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,720
Speaker 1: watch any of the XFL games. If you watch the

1455
01:14:08,880 --> 01:14:11,040
Speaker 1: XFL games, you would think, Okay, it might be a

1456
01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,479
Speaker 1: little feeder system there, or some guys develop or whatever.

1457
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,200
Speaker 1: The offensive line play in that league was atrocious because

1458
01:14:17,240 --> 01:14:20,880
Speaker 1: there aren't any offensive lineman. There's just not buy yeah,

1459
01:14:21,320 --> 01:14:23,640
Speaker 1: and none of them play with their hand on the

1460
01:14:23,680 --> 01:14:25,920
Speaker 1: ground anymore in college. So it's kind of hard to

1461
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 1: teach that part of the game at the highest level

1462
01:14:27,800 --> 01:14:30,439
Speaker 1: of football effectively and have guys come along and really

1463
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:33,000
Speaker 1: develop unless you have a really good coaching staff. You

1464
01:14:33,120 --> 01:14:36,719
Speaker 1: had five Bills players Pete on your Top one hundred

1465
01:14:37,200 --> 01:14:41,960
Speaker 1: NFL players list for twenty twenty two, Jordan Poyer, Micah Hides,

1466
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 1: Deefon Diggs, von Miller, and Josh Allen your top rated

1467
01:14:45,160 --> 01:14:52,440
Speaker 1: Bill at number four overall. Have you had similar meteoric

1468
01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:56,760
Speaker 1: rises on your top one hundred like Josh last year

1469
01:14:56,800 --> 01:15:00,280
Speaker 1: he was the real medio. Yes, yet no, have not.

1470
01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: And it really is a tribute to him as a player.

1471
01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,840
Speaker 1: And you know, we've talked about this before. I loved

1472
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:09,040
Speaker 1: him coming out. He knows that I interviewed him today.

1473
01:15:09,200 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: There weren't many of us out there. There were there

1474
01:15:11,280 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 1: were few and far between, and I stuck to my guns,

1475
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: even when he was struggling as a rookie, because I

1476
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: believe that he had that it factor. There's a certain

1477
01:15:19,560 --> 01:15:22,240
Speaker 1: it factor to playing that position, and he has it.

1478
01:15:22,720 --> 01:15:24,559
Speaker 1: You know, he's big, he's strong, he's tough, but there's

1479
01:15:24,560 --> 01:15:26,760
Speaker 1: an it. Guy'm getting huddle, this is my team. I'm

1480
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:28,640
Speaker 1: going down the field and I'm going to score. He

1481
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:32,640
Speaker 1: has it. So his rise up is incredible and I

1482
01:15:32,760 --> 01:15:34,640
Speaker 1: think he's the favorite to win the MVP this year.

1483
01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,960
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna win the MVP. I love the

1484
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:39,599
Speaker 1: makeup of this team. I love the makeup of the offense.

1485
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:41,160
Speaker 1: I love the makeup of the defense. I think he's

1486
01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:43,000
Speaker 1: gonna be the MVP. Have you ever seen a player

1487
01:15:43,160 --> 01:15:46,439
Speaker 1: more polarizing? Maybe Tim Tebow was like that, right, but

1488
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,000
Speaker 1: he couldn't play though, right exactly. But you got you

1489
01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:51,200
Speaker 1: got a guy that came out and he had guys

1490
01:15:51,240 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: on both ends of the spectrum, guys who said, no,

1491
01:15:52,960 --> 01:15:54,920
Speaker 1: this is the guy, and guys said there, he'll never

1492
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:58,040
Speaker 1: be the guy. And you know, of course he becomes

1493
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:01,400
Speaker 1: this MVP, you know type cam a you know, competitor.

1494
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,920
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen a player that was more polarizing

1495
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,679
Speaker 1: than than Josh no, and Tiba was polarizing for different reasons,

1496
01:16:10,840 --> 01:16:13,240
Speaker 1: right right. You knew that those were This guy was

1497
01:16:13,280 --> 01:16:16,000
Speaker 1: polarizing from a football stand play, which is weird. And

1498
01:16:16,360 --> 01:16:17,800
Speaker 1: I'll be honest with it, I don't think there were

1499
01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:19,439
Speaker 1: many that were on the side that he was going

1500
01:16:19,479 --> 01:16:21,639
Speaker 1: to be a good player. You see once in a while,

1501
01:16:21,680 --> 01:16:23,280
Speaker 1: these guys come out of the whippo go I said it,

1502
01:16:23,400 --> 01:16:25,759
Speaker 1: I said it, I no, no, I remember you weren't

1503
01:16:25,800 --> 01:16:28,799
Speaker 1: so sure yourself, and and that's You're right. There hasn't

1504
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: been a guy who's been as polarizing as him. And

1505
01:16:31,439 --> 01:16:34,200
Speaker 1: not only that, the abuse he took. You know, you

1506
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:36,519
Speaker 1: could be polarizing it one thing, but this guy took

1507
01:16:36,640 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: non stop. Look at this stuff. He can't hit the

1508
01:16:39,160 --> 01:16:40,599
Speaker 1: the you know, he couldn't throw it in the ocean

1509
01:16:40,680 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 1: if if he was standing on the on the beach

1510
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:45,280
Speaker 1: and that kind of stuff. It was brutal. And he's

1511
01:16:45,320 --> 01:16:47,840
Speaker 1: overcome at all. And I think it's fueled him because

1512
01:16:47,840 --> 01:16:50,000
Speaker 1: he's got that. He's got an attitude. I want my

1513
01:16:50,080 --> 01:16:52,360
Speaker 1: quarterback to walk in the room and have an attitude. Yeah,

1514
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:55,400
Speaker 1: since you called yourself old already, I won't feel bad

1515
01:16:55,439 --> 01:16:57,840
Speaker 1: about asking this question. You're old enough to remember when

1516
01:16:57,920 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey was playing quarterback at Miami, and he's talked

1517
01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:05,800
Speaker 1: about that and getting the ball in the playmaker's hands.

1518
01:17:05,840 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 1: With the ridiculous amount of talent he had at his

1519
01:17:08,320 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 1: disposal there on the offensive side of the ball. How

1520
01:17:12,240 --> 01:17:15,640
Speaker 1: do you think that best translates to the role he

1521
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,880
Speaker 1: has now as the play caller for this offense. I

1522
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 1: think it'll make it easy on him. I think they

1523
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:23,439
Speaker 1: have playmakers here. I think Davis is on the verge

1524
01:17:23,479 --> 01:17:25,559
Speaker 1: of something special. And I think playing with Diggs has

1525
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: helped Davis because it's made him a better route runner.

1526
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,720
Speaker 1: He was. I mean, he is a physical specimen. You know,

1527
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:34,120
Speaker 1: he could run. And now I think Diggs watching Digs

1528
01:17:34,320 --> 01:17:35,880
Speaker 1: run his routes, and Digs run a right. You were

1529
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:37,960
Speaker 1: standing right there today. He ran that route on Elam today.

1530
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:40,120
Speaker 1: It was a little short, little crisp route and he

1531
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:41,800
Speaker 1: ran it out and it made it look so easy.

1532
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,519
Speaker 1: And I think that's rubbed off on Davis, and so

1533
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:46,879
Speaker 1: I think it makes it easy on Dorsey's got playmakers.

1534
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:48,559
Speaker 1: You know how they gonna use Cook. I thought they

1535
01:17:48,640 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 1: ran that cross action today when he ran the ball inside,

1536
01:17:51,240 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: which was interesting. He's gonna catch the ball out of

1537
01:17:53,800 --> 01:17:56,320
Speaker 1: the backfield. It's gonna be a better offense. I think

1538
01:17:56,360 --> 01:17:58,320
Speaker 1: Dorsey's gonna be good. By the way, no offense to

1539
01:17:58,400 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, but I think I could have thrown some

1540
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:04,600
Speaker 1: as is that Miami thou Yeah, I will say this.

1541
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: We were talking about some of the guys that came

1542
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: in where they brought in OJ Howard high hopes for Joj,

1543
01:18:09,720 --> 01:18:12,519
Speaker 1: just like the Tampa Bay Bucks had when they drafted him.

1544
01:18:12,600 --> 01:18:14,880
Speaker 1: What about his game? We've said he's kind of been

1545
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:19,880
Speaker 1: largely unseen in this training camp. Doesn't flash the whole

1546
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: doesn't flashed a whole lot. Not too many opportunities either.

1547
01:18:22,640 --> 01:18:25,000
Speaker 1: So what are your thoughts on him? He came out

1548
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:29,600
Speaker 1: highly touted, still a huge and dynamic athlete. What are

1549
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,320
Speaker 1: you think's next for him? And what are his upside?

1550
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:33,720
Speaker 1: What's his upside? Yeah, he's got to be dedicated to

1551
01:18:34,080 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean, look when and I think he changed, he

1552
01:18:36,120 --> 01:18:37,800
Speaker 1: flipped it a little bit. But from what I told

1553
01:18:37,840 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: one somebody told me when he was in Tampa, they

1554
01:18:39,880 --> 01:18:43,400
Speaker 1: had a bye week after London game, and they Bruce

1555
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 1: told them stay around here or don't do anything. He

1556
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:49,559
Speaker 1: went back to Alabama, came back and hurt his hamstring

1557
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,760
Speaker 1: the week later, put him in the dog house, and

1558
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,800
Speaker 1: so I think that's where his focus has to be.

1559
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:57,439
Speaker 1: You're right, you look at him physically, he's a specimen. Yeah,

1560
01:18:57,520 --> 01:19:00,120
Speaker 1: So whether they can get that out of him that

1561
01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:02,439
Speaker 1: you know, roomains that be seen, but it's there. It's

1562
01:19:02,439 --> 01:19:04,200
Speaker 1: just a matter of getting it out of him. Sweeney

1563
01:19:04,240 --> 01:19:06,680
Speaker 1: had a good day the practice. I mean, I know

1564
01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,360
Speaker 1: you can't get on a regular basis, but he had

1565
01:19:08,360 --> 01:19:11,759
Speaker 1: a good day today. Yeah. We've been talking Pete about

1566
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,120
Speaker 1: the Bill's draft class as a whole, front to back,

1567
01:19:15,479 --> 01:19:17,559
Speaker 1: I mean first pick to last pick, all the way

1568
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:20,160
Speaker 1: down to Bayalin Specter, the linebacker they took in the

1569
01:19:20,200 --> 01:19:22,800
Speaker 1: seventh round out of Clemson. Every one of them is

1570
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:25,639
Speaker 1: flashed at some point in this training camp. Some obviously

1571
01:19:25,720 --> 01:19:29,120
Speaker 1: more than others. Cook Shakier kind of stand out Elam

1572
01:19:29,160 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: at times, although he's kind of trying to master the

1573
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:34,160
Speaker 1: off coverage stuff that he didn't do a lot of

1574
01:19:34,240 --> 01:19:37,000
Speaker 1: it Florida. But I'm telling you, soup to nuts, in

1575
01:19:37,040 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 1: this draft class, every single one of them is flashed

1576
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,000
Speaker 1: in camp. I'm sure there are other teams that have

1577
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,960
Speaker 1: had good draft classes. Everybody was touting the Jets draft

1578
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:45,600
Speaker 1: class and how well they did. And I'll give it

1579
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:48,439
Speaker 1: to him, they did, but I'm surprised, like top to

1580
01:19:48,600 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 1: bottom on this roster, we're seeing these guys flash here.

1581
01:19:52,040 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I don't know what that says about this team going

1582
01:19:54,240 --> 01:19:55,960
Speaker 1: forward to what roles they'll have on a deep roster.

1583
01:19:57,160 --> 01:19:59,160
Speaker 1: To draft players and find good players, I think that's

1584
01:19:59,240 --> 01:20:01,360
Speaker 1: the most thing. And I think they drafted with an

1585
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:04,400
Speaker 1: eye on replacement. Edmonds is what in the final year

1586
01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:08,160
Speaker 1: of his deal, right, and they drafted the Bard. Yeah,

1587
01:20:08,240 --> 01:20:10,639
Speaker 1: so your draft with an eye it's always the old

1588
01:20:10,720 --> 01:20:12,479
Speaker 1: jar on the shelf. You know, one goes, you pull

1589
01:20:12,520 --> 01:20:14,639
Speaker 1: another one off and put him in there. And that's

1590
01:20:14,680 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 1: what they do, and that's what you have to do.

1591
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,400
Speaker 1: You have to look forward a little bit, and I

1592
01:20:18,479 --> 01:20:20,880
Speaker 1: think that's why they're drafted. Look, I didn't love the

1593
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:23,120
Speaker 1: Cook pick in the second round. I love Cook. I

1594
01:20:23,240 --> 01:20:25,040
Speaker 1: just think sometimes that's a little when you're a team

1595
01:20:25,080 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: like this there running back in that spot. But the

1596
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:30,080
Speaker 1: way I see they're gonna use them, I'm intrigued by it.

1597
01:20:30,160 --> 01:20:31,519
Speaker 1: I like it because he can really catch the ball

1598
01:20:31,520 --> 01:20:33,519
Speaker 1: out of the backfield. It's interesting about Bernard. You know,

1599
01:20:33,560 --> 01:20:37,479
Speaker 1: they drafted Tremaine Edmonds, and he's this big condor like

1600
01:20:37,680 --> 01:20:39,800
Speaker 1: guy who's very you know, he's the middle of the

1601
01:20:39,840 --> 01:20:42,519
Speaker 1: defense and he's a very a equals b kind of guy,

1602
01:20:42,720 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 1: very by the book kind of guy. Bernard gets in

1603
01:20:45,960 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: and he's completely different. He's a smaller, fast guy who

1604
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:53,120
Speaker 1: almost goes one hundred percent on instinct. Two completely different

1605
01:20:53,120 --> 01:20:54,880
Speaker 1: styles to play, even though they're playing the same spot

1606
01:20:54,960 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: in Bernard looks like he's gonna play, you know, be

1607
01:20:57,280 --> 01:21:00,519
Speaker 1: there for both spots, both Milano's spot and to Edwards

1608
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:05,120
Speaker 1: Edmund's spot. Any thoughts about the direction of the league,

1609
01:21:05,160 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 1: I mean, the Bills got this big, huge, freaky's away

1610
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,360
Speaker 1: athlete in there. Now about going to a smaller guy.

1611
01:21:11,560 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: And if you put Bernard in there with Milano, you

1612
01:21:14,080 --> 01:21:17,160
Speaker 1: got two linebackers on an NFL roster in their bass

1613
01:21:17,200 --> 01:21:19,679
Speaker 1: defensive way less than two thirty. Yeah, and that that again,

1614
01:21:19,720 --> 01:21:21,880
Speaker 1: if it goes back to some of the theory on

1615
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:24,800
Speaker 1: going back to the big beam. But if you have

1616
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:26,600
Speaker 1: the guys who can occupy, you know that, if they

1617
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:28,880
Speaker 1: can handle the offensive lineman, don't let the guards get

1618
01:21:28,920 --> 01:21:30,800
Speaker 1: out on them and let them run free, then I

1619
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:32,400
Speaker 1: think it's not as much as a problem, and that

1620
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,240
Speaker 1: that's why it's key what those inside guys do here.

1621
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: If he you know, he does play next year moving forward,

1622
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:40,240
Speaker 1: You're right, Milano's not a big guy, but if you've

1623
01:21:40,240 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 1: got two linebackers who can run, you can cover a

1624
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: lot of ground, and that's important. Brandon Bean has a

1625
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyer situation to address. He's on the shelf right

1626
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:51,960
Speaker 1: now with a hyper extended elbow. I kind of feel

1627
01:21:52,040 --> 01:21:55,240
Speaker 1: like the relationship is so strong that I don't anticipate

1628
01:21:55,280 --> 01:21:59,080
Speaker 1: it will ever get acrimonious. But they're also pretty tight

1629
01:21:59,160 --> 01:22:01,439
Speaker 1: on the cap and they've got five million in space now.

1630
01:22:01,520 --> 01:22:03,120
Speaker 1: But when you go to a fifty three man roster,

1631
01:22:03,240 --> 01:22:04,960
Speaker 1: being has even said we're gonna have to make a

1632
01:22:05,040 --> 01:22:07,519
Speaker 1: move somewhere or ask somebody to take a pay cut

1633
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:10,200
Speaker 1: to get back under the cap. When all the positions count,

1634
01:22:10,560 --> 01:22:15,559
Speaker 1: practice squad, etc. Etc. How does that get resolved? Knowing

1635
01:22:15,720 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: that's their cap situation? What year is how old is

1636
01:22:18,160 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: player now? He's yeah, you gotta start being a little

1637
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:23,760
Speaker 1: concerned about that. And and you know, I mentioned I

1638
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,800
Speaker 1: was just in Cincinnati. Cincinnati had bits right, and they

1639
01:22:26,880 --> 01:22:29,360
Speaker 1: have Vombell Bombell in the final year of his contract.

1640
01:22:29,439 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: Bates is in that franchise contract and probably not going

1641
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,640
Speaker 1: to be brought back. So they drafted Dax Hill and

1642
01:22:34,760 --> 01:22:37,519
Speaker 1: so the draft with an eye on replacing. So that's

1643
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:39,920
Speaker 1: the decision that the Bills are gonna have to make.

1644
01:22:40,080 --> 01:22:42,280
Speaker 1: We love player, they love him back there. He's a

1645
01:22:42,320 --> 01:22:45,120
Speaker 1: great player, and it's nice to have him and hide

1646
01:22:45,160 --> 01:22:48,439
Speaker 1: together back there. It gives you some real security on

1647
01:22:48,560 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 1: a defense that you know, if it's going to be

1648
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:52,800
Speaker 1: a number one defense, you need that back there. So

1649
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be it. That's gonna be a

1650
01:22:54,560 --> 01:22:57,759
Speaker 1: tough negotiation because you are thirty one. If he's twenty seven,

1651
01:22:59,400 --> 01:23:01,640
Speaker 1: no brainer. But at thirty one you start wondering what.

1652
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:03,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna get a mega deal. I

1653
01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: think if they're both willing to work on like a

1654
01:23:05,479 --> 01:23:07,840
Speaker 1: three year deal that pays him more than what he's

1655
01:23:07,880 --> 01:23:10,160
Speaker 1: making now on a significant amount of money more, then

1656
01:23:10,240 --> 01:23:11,800
Speaker 1: they can maybe do that. Make it a five year

1657
01:23:11,880 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: dummy deal, you know. But last one for me, You've

1658
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:16,639
Speaker 1: been around, you've been going to camps. Have you seen

1659
01:23:16,680 --> 01:23:18,960
Speaker 1: any AFC East teams yet other than the Bills? I

1660
01:23:19,080 --> 01:23:21,439
Speaker 1: have not. I will see. I saw Miami in mini camp.

1661
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:23,920
Speaker 1: I'm m I watched him for two days at mini camp.

1662
01:23:23,960 --> 01:23:25,880
Speaker 1: I'm I'm a little worried about them. I know they

1663
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:28,639
Speaker 1: I just don't believe in the quarterback. I just don't.

1664
01:23:28,760 --> 01:23:31,040
Speaker 1: I don't think he's the right guy, and they clearly

1665
01:23:31,080 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 1: don't either, because they tried to replace them a bunch

1666
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:36,280
Speaker 1: of different ways. So, um, there's a lot of speed

1667
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:38,200
Speaker 1: on that team. That team can fly. You know, you're

1668
01:23:38,200 --> 01:23:41,200
Speaker 1: all Waddle and Hill and you know even Chase Edmonds

1669
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 1: when he's in the back that they can run the

1670
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:45,640
Speaker 1: offensive line to question mark. Defensively, they should be pretty good,

1671
01:23:45,720 --> 01:23:47,760
Speaker 1: But I worry about the quarterback. What teams have you

1672
01:23:47,840 --> 01:23:49,640
Speaker 1: seen that are going to be better than what the

1673
01:23:49,720 --> 01:23:51,880
Speaker 1: general public might know about. I think that. You know,

1674
01:23:52,000 --> 01:23:53,720
Speaker 1: people think the Bengals are a one year wonder and

1675
01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:56,639
Speaker 1: go away. No, not at all. They're a deep, talented team,

1676
01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,640
Speaker 1: and they've improved the offensive line. The fact that they

1677
01:23:58,680 --> 01:24:01,880
Speaker 1: got where they did is amazing considering how bad their

1678
01:24:01,920 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: offensive line is. I said on our thing today, I

1679
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,760
Speaker 1: did a hit. If the Bills don't lose the Chiefs game,

1680
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:08,680
Speaker 1: I think they go win it all. No matter what,

1681
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:10,360
Speaker 1: I think, they win it all. They were the best team.

1682
01:24:10,640 --> 01:24:14,080
Speaker 1: But that's what the Bengals did is incredible considering what

1683
01:24:14,120 --> 01:24:16,280
Speaker 1: their offensive line was. I saw the Colts. I think

1684
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:17,800
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a good team too. I think they'll

1685
01:24:17,840 --> 01:24:19,200
Speaker 1: be the best team in that division. I know the

1686
01:24:19,800 --> 01:24:21,560
Speaker 1: Bills play the Titans in Week two. I think the

1687
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:24,360
Speaker 1: Cults are the better team. They're gonna be physical again

1688
01:24:24,400 --> 01:24:27,000
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor, and you know, the Bills fans found

1689
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,880
Speaker 1: out all about that last year. And then I saw

1690
01:24:30,080 --> 01:24:34,400
Speaker 1: Jacksonville will be improved. They got rid of the idiot

1691
01:24:34,479 --> 01:24:36,599
Speaker 1: coats that they had and they actually got a football

1692
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:38,160
Speaker 1: guy in there and knows what he's doing. And I

1693
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:40,680
Speaker 1: saw Tampa and Tampa will be one of the better

1694
01:24:40,720 --> 01:24:42,840
Speaker 1: teams in the NFC. And in the NFC, it's really

1695
01:24:42,880 --> 01:24:45,360
Speaker 1: only if it's pretty easy now, right. You got the Rams,

1696
01:24:45,479 --> 01:24:48,519
Speaker 1: you got Tampa, you got Green Bay and maybe a

1697
01:24:48,600 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 1: surprise team. And you know, the Vikings will be an

1698
01:24:50,360 --> 01:24:53,439
Speaker 1: interesting team with Kevin O'Connell running things, and if they

1699
01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:55,200
Speaker 1: can get better on defense, because they're gonna score a

1700
01:24:55,200 --> 01:24:58,840
Speaker 1: lot of points too. Thanks, good to see you here

1701
01:24:58,840 --> 01:25:01,000
Speaker 1: at Bills camp. Sure we'll catch up with you. I'm

1702
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:02,600
Speaker 1: not jumping on a table by the way. I'm just

1703
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,120
Speaker 1: not doing that. We don't blame you. We'll be back

1704
01:25:05,160 --> 01:25:06,800
Speaker 1: with more here on one Bills five in a second.

1705
01:25:07,080 --> 01:25:26,280
Speaker 1: Stay tuned. It is summertime and Bill's head coach, Sean

1706
01:25:26,360 --> 01:25:30,000
Speaker 1: McDermott wants us all thinking about sun defense. Coach is

1707
01:25:30,040 --> 01:25:33,320
Speaker 1: passionate about skin cancer prevention as it runs in his family,

1708
01:25:33,800 --> 01:25:37,840
Speaker 1: and he takes sun protection very seriously. Most importantly, of course,

1709
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:41,000
Speaker 1: is wearing sunscreen. Right now, you can stop by your

1710
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:43,519
Speaker 1: local Wegments for all of your sun protection needs. Wagments

1711
01:25:43,560 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: will donate one dollar for every Wegment sunscreen product sold

1712
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,479
Speaker 1: through August thirty first in their Buffalo Rochester that's been

1713
01:25:50,560 --> 01:25:53,599
Speaker 1: water accused stores. It's a great way to protect yourself

1714
01:25:54,160 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 1: and your family and help fight against skin cancer and

1715
01:25:57,520 --> 01:26:00,680
Speaker 1: think sun defense. Like Bill's head coach on dermott, Even

1716
01:26:00,760 --> 01:26:02,200
Speaker 1: on a day Steve where it looks like it's going

1717
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,280
Speaker 1: to rain, that's been one of the yeah, but earlier

1718
01:26:04,360 --> 01:26:06,000
Speaker 1: on it's that's been one of the kind of neat

1719
01:26:06,040 --> 01:26:09,120
Speaker 1: little perks. They they got sunscreen everywhere for everybody. Oh

1720
01:26:09,160 --> 01:26:12,960
Speaker 1: my gosh, yeah, they got It's so nice because I

1721
01:26:13,439 --> 01:26:16,040
Speaker 1: you needed it. Even today, you needed it. It's cloudy

1722
01:26:16,120 --> 01:26:19,479
Speaker 1: now and this earlier today was smoking hot. Yes, oh

1723
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 1: my god, it's been good. I've been using it a lot.

1724
01:26:22,760 --> 01:26:27,840
Speaker 1: It was it was sunny today and like you know,

1725
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: peeking through the clouds kind of stuff. But when it

1726
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:34,080
Speaker 1: was when the sun was out, it was pretty fierce. Um,

1727
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:38,880
Speaker 1: so yeah it was. It was definitely needed today and

1728
01:26:39,360 --> 01:26:43,240
Speaker 1: you know, good on wakements for it'll be tomorrow. Uh,

1729
01:26:44,040 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: just so you know, Steve. The depth chart and this

1730
01:26:46,920 --> 01:26:49,240
Speaker 1: is an unofficial depth chart, but the team has released

1731
01:26:49,240 --> 01:26:53,280
Speaker 1: a depth chart in anticipation of the preseason game against

1732
01:26:53,280 --> 01:26:58,000
Speaker 1: the Colts this weekend, and there really are no surprises

1733
01:26:58,200 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: on the depth chart, with the following exceptions. Are you ready, Steve,

1734
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: where'd you get that? Debt? Just sis? David Casson Berry

1735
01:27:07,479 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 1: out of the SHOOTE is listed right now as the

1736
01:27:10,120 --> 01:27:13,040
Speaker 1: team's starting right tackle, with Spencer Brown behind him. That's

1737
01:27:13,080 --> 01:27:17,160
Speaker 1: presumably due to the lack of Spencer's availability through the

1738
01:27:17,240 --> 01:27:21,519
Speaker 1: early stages of camp. Isaiah McKenzie listed in the starting

1739
01:27:21,600 --> 01:27:28,120
Speaker 1: lineup as they list the offense as a three receiver formation. Um. Defensively,

1740
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:33,479
Speaker 1: de Quan Jones listed as a top team defensive tackle

1741
01:27:33,560 --> 01:27:35,680
Speaker 1: next to Ed Oliver. We've seen a good deal of

1742
01:27:35,760 --> 01:27:41,240
Speaker 1: that at training camp thus far, and the other uh

1743
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,679
Speaker 1: the other interesting note here, Steve Radavious White is listed

1744
01:27:48,200 --> 01:27:54,439
Speaker 1: as the starting corner, which isn't surprising from a status

1745
01:27:54,520 --> 01:27:58,320
Speaker 1: on the team standpoint, but is a little surprising in

1746
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:01,360
Speaker 1: light of the fact that at Spencer Brown, who was

1747
01:28:01,400 --> 01:28:03,960
Speaker 1: the starting right tackle last year and has been limited

1748
01:28:04,040 --> 01:28:08,320
Speaker 1: due to an offseason injury, is not listed as a

1749
01:28:08,400 --> 01:28:13,160
Speaker 1: starter waltradevious White is. So that was interesting. And then

1750
01:28:13,240 --> 01:28:22,320
Speaker 1: there's this one. Steve punt returner Tavon Austin is listed

1751
01:28:22,439 --> 01:28:24,720
Speaker 1: as the top guy right now, so that this thing

1752
01:28:24,880 --> 01:28:27,760
Speaker 1: is their top wide received, top three wide receivers. It

1753
01:28:27,960 --> 01:28:35,120
Speaker 1: is Diggs, Davis, and Mackenzie. Okay, then right behind them Hodgens,

1754
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,200
Speaker 1: Crowder and Kumero. All right, well there you go. That

1755
01:28:41,320 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: makes sense. So no, not a ton of surprises by

1756
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:48,320
Speaker 1: by any means. But I will say the running back

1757
01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:56,200
Speaker 1: listing when Singletary, Moss, Cook, Jones, Johnson, blackshear. So it'll

1758
01:28:56,240 --> 01:28:58,240
Speaker 1: be something to peruse for sure, and we can talk

1759
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:01,639
Speaker 1: about it on tomorrow show. We our backhead one bills

1760
01:29:01,760 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: drive tomorrow as the players are off, so we will

1761
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:10,320
Speaker 1: see you in studio one pm, same bad time. Same

1762
01:29:10,439 --> 01:29:12,160
Speaker 1: bad channel. We'll see you tomorrow.
