But any guy who starts telling you 18 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: is one point. He's not talking to here. We're not 19 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:08,360 Speaker 1: rounding at all. Yeah it is. We got a big 20 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: show coming up. We're gonna recap out today's training camp practice, 21 00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 1: which ended about ten thirty this morning. But Pat is 22 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: here with his partner Jim Miller to do their serious 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,360 Speaker 1: x M NFL radio show at three o'clock. Right before 24 00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:20,120 Speaker 1: he came on the air, you said to us, I 25 00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,080 Speaker 1: love coming to Buffalo. Did you mean camp? Did you 26 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:23,800 Speaker 1: mean Buffalo? What did you well? I do. I do 27 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,679 Speaker 1: love coming to Buffalo. First off, they roll it out 28 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,679 Speaker 1: for us, so we're gonna get all the players we 29 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: need to talk to. And that doesn't happen in every town. 30 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,759 Speaker 1: Doesn't happen for us, and we worked for the team, right, 31 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,560 Speaker 1: look at me some tips on that later. Yeah, No, 32 00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,639 Speaker 1: that part I like. I like the facility for camp. 33 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,759 Speaker 1: Some places it's it's not really conducive to being there 34 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,520 Speaker 1: with the media getting the angles. You need the opportunity 35 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 1: to stay walk up and down the sideline today and 36 00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:51,680 Speaker 1: watch practice. I've been to places I won't mention them 37 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,240 Speaker 1: where they won't let us watch practice. Now you're doing 38 00:01:54,240 --> 00:01:57,120 Speaker 1: a camp tour and the guy will say, you know, 39 00:01:57,280 --> 00:01:59,000 Speaker 1: stay over here, Well, you can't see anything goes, That's 40 00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 1: why you're staying over So that's not the case here. 41 00:02:01,360 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 1: I love coming a buffer. You're right in the middle 42 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,640 Speaker 1: of it with Steve most of the practice that they were, well, 43 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 1: we're walking at anytime I get a chance to walk 44 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: with you guys, and you're getting a perspective, or I'm 45 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 1: getting a perspective from guys who've been here for the 46 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,440 Speaker 1: last couple of days. It's it's more valuable than talking 47 00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: to the coaches. Yeah, you and I were walking up 48 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,440 Speaker 1: and down. We were talking about we always kind of 49 00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,040 Speaker 1: reminisce about how things change because the game is ever changing, 50 00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:22,640 Speaker 1: and we were talking about we were today. We were 51 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 1: talking about kickoff returns at practice and how that's going 52 00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:28,240 Speaker 1: to be an all the special teams coaches are like, yeah, 53 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:30,120 Speaker 1: you don't want to be a kick returner this year? 54 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 1: You know that kind of thing, because yeah, they've kind 55 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,639 Speaker 1: of induced a desire and a special teams talk, but 56 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,600 Speaker 1: they've kind of induced a desire for the teams not 57 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: to kick it out of the end zone anymore. I 58 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: don't believe they're going to kick them. I think there's 59 00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: gonna be more than double the amount of returns for 60 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: multiple reasons. I think when I was at in New England, 61 00:02:45,560 --> 00:02:48,280 Speaker 1: yes say, why do they get Cordarel Patterson because they 62 00:02:48,320 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: expect to be returning balls, And I think they're going 63 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,919 Speaker 1: to force returns themselves all the time. Defensive mind head coaches, 64 00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,520 Speaker 1: they don't want to give you the ball at twenty five. 65 00:02:56,600 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: So that's the first step. The second step is the 66 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,079 Speaker 1: new kickoff. You're going to ask those front wall guys 67 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:05,440 Speaker 1: to hold the block for six seconds. Steve figured it 68 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,680 Speaker 1: out if everyone running down on a four second hang time, 69 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: they're gonna be down by the twenty five yard line 70 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:15,000 Speaker 1: and four guys will be free converging on a returner. 71 00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 1: So I think there'll be a lot of returns. And 72 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: as one special teams coach said to me, I said, 73 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: give me one statement about the new rule, and he goes, 74 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: I really feel bad for the returners because I think 75 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,480 Speaker 1: they're getting get blown up. How much experimentation do you 76 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,240 Speaker 1: anticipate with kickoffs in preseasons, especially early preseason games. Well, 77 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: Belichick said, we're working on different things. Mike Westoff said, 78 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: we have a plan going in with an open mind 79 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 1: to modify. I think it's the blockers the way they're 80 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 1: set up. And I said to Steve, and this is 81 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 1: gonna be a different thing. There's one returner back there, 82 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,600 Speaker 1: so he doesn't have his buddy to say stay in 83 00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: the end zone. That's a problem. And as Steve and 84 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: I agreed, I think you're never gonna kick straight to him. 85 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: You're gonna kick really outside the numbers. If you can 86 00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:01,640 Speaker 1: be perfect and four this guy to go cover it. 87 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:03,200 Speaker 1: So I think the return is a lot of stress, 88 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,160 Speaker 1: and we know that better anybody with a strong leg. 89 00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:07,120 Speaker 1: These guys have too. They'll be putting as high as 90 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 1: they can. They'll try and get four and a half. 91 00:04:09,080 --> 00:04:10,680 Speaker 1: You know, they'll as much hang time as they can't 92 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 1: do with the ball in the air as long as 93 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,480 Speaker 1: they can, and with the fact that they don't want 94 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:14,960 Speaker 1: them to kick it as deep as they can, it's 95 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna be more energy spent on hang time, 96 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: So it'll be a shorter kick, stay in the air 97 00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: much longer, and less and less time to sort out 98 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,600 Speaker 1: what's going on in front of you. And Mike Westuff 99 00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:26,839 Speaker 1: and I talked about I talked to a lot of 100 00:04:26,839 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: the special teams coaches. There's no wedges at all. But 101 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 1: so so what's left trap blocking, cross blocking, and those 102 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 1: lead to penalties, right, you know you're you're you got 103 00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,719 Speaker 1: to cross over Murph to get the guy over here. 104 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: You just get behind them, and it's a clip. I 105 00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:43,040 Speaker 1: think you can see a lot of flags right yeah, 106 00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: with pet Kerwin moving the chain. Serious x M NFL 107 00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,919 Speaker 1: Radio Steve and I here until three o'clock today Paddleby 108 00:04:47,960 --> 00:04:50,679 Speaker 1: broadcasting his show at three o'clock. While we're talking about 109 00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: new rules and changes, there's a lot of commotion already 110 00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,600 Speaker 1: this week about the helmet hint rule. The Eagles had 111 00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: an explanation from the officiating crew and CA, I'm away confused, 112 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 1: what's going on? And I don't play. You guys talk 113 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 1: about it every day, as do I, but I don't. 114 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 1: I think if they enforce that rule properly, they'll be 115 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 1: called every play. It's now going to take on the 116 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:15,720 Speaker 1: same reality that holding takes on. You can't call it 117 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: every play. But my fear is that they're going to 118 00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,920 Speaker 1: call it in the summer and think, Okay, everyone knows 119 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: how to do it. That won't work in games. There's 120 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 1: going to be such an inconsistency that anyone covering the 121 00:05:28,400 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 1: game is gonna be challenged to talk about that. It 122 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,440 Speaker 1: happens six times in the first half, no one called it. 123 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: Now we're in the fourth quarter and it's a game 124 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,920 Speaker 1: winning play. An outfit comes the flag and that'll cause 125 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:43,160 Speaker 1: Monday Radio to be as predicted frustrating. Yeah, yeah, that's 126 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:45,960 Speaker 1: and that's really the slippery slope you don't want to 127 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,120 Speaker 1: go down if they can call it consistently, consistently you know, 128 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: I've talked about nobody cares. Can you make the game? 129 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: What if they can call it the same in the 130 00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:56,159 Speaker 1: first quarter, in the second quarter in Monday night football 131 00:05:56,200 --> 00:05:59,039 Speaker 1: and Sunday at one o'clock, nobody will care. But that's 132 00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: hard to do. And when you're gonna get a game 133 00:06:00,920 --> 00:06:02,760 Speaker 1: on it, like I said, a Monday Night football in 134 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,960 Speaker 1: the fourth quarter, it's gonna make a division make or 135 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 1: break a division crown, and you're gonna get a bad 136 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,680 Speaker 1: call that when they moved the line judge behind the quarterback, right, Yeah, 137 00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:14,440 Speaker 1: so how is he going to call any helmet work 138 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:17,200 Speaker 1: from the offensive lineman? Right? And we know they all 139 00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 1: do it. One more rule to ask you about the 140 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: new catch rule. They've left some ambiguity there, but it 141 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: seems like nobody's complaining about that yet. First off, they 142 00:06:26,680 --> 00:06:28,960 Speaker 1: went to three fat they didn't come off three phases 143 00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: to a catch. Yeah, that's the problem. Two phases to 144 00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: the catch. You know, ball in hand or hands either 145 00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: one feet down, catch everything after that it's a fumble. Well, 146 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,600 Speaker 1: they don't want fumbles because fumbles. The defensive guys are 147 00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,679 Speaker 1: instructed as is the offensive guys treat everything like a fumble. 148 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:48,960 Speaker 1: They're they're diving on balls, which now they call incomplete. 149 00:06:49,440 --> 00:06:52,120 Speaker 1: But that third phase and if you notice, they keep 150 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,880 Speaker 1: watering that down. So I'm not encouraged that we're gonna 151 00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,760 Speaker 1: have So Roger Goodell said to me. I said, Roger, 152 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:00,520 Speaker 1: how you how'd you do it? He said, we went 153 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,479 Speaker 1: back to all the plays that were controversial and said, 154 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 1: should we have made this a catch? Mike Irvin's play, etc. 155 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: And the answer was yes, it goes Okay, let's work 156 00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 1: back the rule so those would be catches. It's still great. 157 00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:15,520 Speaker 1: Well that's the day. And I told Murphis during this 158 00:07:15,560 --> 00:07:18,320 Speaker 1: whole controversy, you can write the rule however you want, 159 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,800 Speaker 1: and there's gonna be instances where it's gonna be challenged 160 00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: because of the way the game is played. There's gonna 161 00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:24,360 Speaker 1: be a chance, well that's not quite a catch in 162 00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:26,680 Speaker 1: that rule, but it should be. But it doesn't meet 163 00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:30,160 Speaker 1: all the criteria. There's gonna be gray areas in every game. Yeah, 164 00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:33,600 Speaker 1: and to complicate it more, a lot of the best 165 00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 1: officials have left, that's right. Yeah, Yeah, so you've got 166 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:39,200 Speaker 1: new guys all over the place. He's territory at Hockey 167 00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: League and that whole deal that the booth aka Park 168 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,680 Speaker 1: Avenue can overrule everything that does not sit well with 169 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: those guys doesn't sit well with me. We saw it 170 00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:50,800 Speaker 1: in our game at New England last year when they 171 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: overruled the call the Calvin Benjamin touchdown catch. It got 172 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:56,240 Speaker 1: overruled in New York. It was clearly a touchdown. Well, 173 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: you gotta have if you got the right guy in 174 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,520 Speaker 1: New York, maybe it's usually not a problem. And there 175 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,360 Speaker 1: was a change there. It wasn't they change guys, Sam. 176 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,040 Speaker 1: There you go, Hey, Pat, Pat Kerwin is with us 177 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:08,640 Speaker 1: for a couple of minutes here as we get started 178 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: on our show from Bill's training camp. You're here to 179 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:13,800 Speaker 1: see the Bills and you're treated to a looks like 180 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 1: a botified three way quarterback competition, right. I mean, any 181 00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: one of these guys would not be a stunner if 182 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: any one of them started September ninth. Yeah, So I've 183 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 1: been in a couple of these when I was at 184 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 1: the Jets. They're real bad in the area of reps. 185 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: So you have to sooner rather than later pick your 186 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:32,840 Speaker 1: starter and get him sixty percent of the reps right now. 187 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,440 Speaker 1: It's an even split three ways. Yeah, and it sounds 188 00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:37,600 Speaker 1: nice and they're gonna do it for a little while longer, 189 00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: but it's not gonna help the starter. And you gotta 190 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: get because none of the starters, whoever that is, have 191 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: any experience to speak of. So we're not talking about 192 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,320 Speaker 1: the incumbent in he's been a ten year guy, but 193 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,840 Speaker 1: maybe he's lost. We're talking about guys that have in 194 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:56,160 Speaker 1: a new offense limited playtime to no play time for 195 00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,360 Speaker 1: one kid. So I think Josh Allen was a great pick, 196 00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,000 Speaker 1: and I don't think i'd rush them onto the field 197 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:06,959 Speaker 1: right away, but but make the decision next week. This 198 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,080 Speaker 1: idea they'll make it after the third piece season game 199 00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: is a disaster. I've been through it. What's the cutoff? 200 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:13,400 Speaker 1: When do you want to make it? But I would 201 00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:15,760 Speaker 1: make it next week before a preseason game number because 202 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: you're yeah, because and the old the adage is instead 203 00:09:18,200 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 1: of getting three guys half ready to play, get one 204 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,440 Speaker 1: guy really ready to play and the other two guys 205 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,160 Speaker 1: got to just get as good as they can get. Hope, 206 00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,160 Speaker 1: hope that they understand it. So that takes the courage 207 00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,480 Speaker 1: of conviction of who you like and mccaren without watching 208 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: anything but one practice, and that's never enough to evaluate anyone. 209 00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,319 Speaker 1: He has a grass with us. He's been in there, 210 00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,800 Speaker 1: he's been around the league for you, So I would 211 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,760 Speaker 1: take that chance. And I think there's enough pass rushers 212 00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: in your first month that I might keep Josh over there. 213 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 1: What about the Josh Allen pick? Did you like? I 214 00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,240 Speaker 1: like the big arm. I like where you're playing. I mean, 215 00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 1: we play a lot of the games in December here, 216 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:56,800 Speaker 1: and he'll cut through the win when a time comes. 217 00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 1: I talked to Josh this morning. I said, you know 218 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,600 Speaker 1: what I love about you already is the fast past, 219 00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:03,720 Speaker 1: shotgun fast pass. He's already really good at it. He's 220 00:10:03,760 --> 00:10:06,240 Speaker 1: not paralyzed by looking at all this stuff. He told 221 00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 1: me his protections here are extremely similar to Wyoming, so 222 00:10:10,559 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: he wasn't uncomfortable with that part of it, which is 223 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: a good step for him. I think when you force 224 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,640 Speaker 1: him to sit in a pocket and read the coverages 225 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:19,520 Speaker 1: are still going to be tough for him to handle 226 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:22,560 Speaker 1: and what about the others, you say McCarron is the 227 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: likeliest candidate, Tod. I sat with mccaren for a long 228 00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: time after practice, and I was really comfortable with his 229 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,960 Speaker 1: perspective on things and how prepared he is for this 230 00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:34,640 Speaker 1: and what he did while he was home in Alabama 231 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:38,400 Speaker 1: with his old coach prepping this offense. He said, basically, 232 00:10:38,440 --> 00:10:40,920 Speaker 1: what would happen is the coach his buddy would call 233 00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: the play. He'd have to diagram the whole play against 234 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: the coverage in thirty seconds and go his first read 235 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:48,360 Speaker 1: here the second when he goes, I did every play 236 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,959 Speaker 1: and it's a thousand plays, and he goes, I really 237 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:54,160 Speaker 1: feel when I get on the field, because my question 238 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:56,800 Speaker 1: was do you see the play in your mind's eye 239 00:10:57,360 --> 00:10:59,000 Speaker 1: or are you calling words? And he says, I see 240 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:00,600 Speaker 1: it in my mind's eye, and he goes, I didn't 241 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,200 Speaker 1: think i'd be there this fast, but I'm there. Yeah. 242 00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,840 Speaker 1: One of the other things about it, and there's so 243 00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: much other stuff going on. It's not just the quarterbacks, 244 00:11:07,600 --> 00:11:10,800 Speaker 1: um offensive line. New spots opened up, although you know, 245 00:11:11,840 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: you know, the left tackle was probably the it's the 246 00:11:13,800 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: left tackle from last year. That kind of stuff. A 247 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,040 Speaker 1: lot of new faces. And last year, this is a 248 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:20,720 Speaker 1: team that got into the playoffs, and I think they 249 00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 1: got a lot of equity out of that coming into 250 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,400 Speaker 1: this year. But this year, uh, it's a whole different 251 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: animal coming into training camp. It is now. You know, 252 00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:31,640 Speaker 1: it's funny A J. McCarron has the center from Cincinnati here, 253 00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,720 Speaker 1: so they're okay and the snap's fine and all that business. 254 00:11:35,200 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: But I I'll go right through it. Dalkins means an 255 00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,800 Speaker 1: upgrade from where you were. And I think this guy, 256 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,160 Speaker 1: you know, Steve said to me for practice, this team 257 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:43,960 Speaker 1: loves each other so much that hasn't been a fight. 258 00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: Yeah one minute Dion was in it. Yea y yarbro. 259 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I said to Dalking I talked to him today. 260 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: I said, you know one thing I know about Jersey, 261 00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:56,640 Speaker 1: never fight a guy from Roadway State Prisons right there. 262 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,480 Speaker 1: Yeah he knows, he was laughing. But I think he's 263 00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,600 Speaker 1: a really good left tackle. I'd be interested to see 264 00:12:01,679 --> 00:12:04,280 Speaker 1: Vlad Ducas and how long he lasts before you find 265 00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,480 Speaker 1: a competitive guy for that spot. I think the center's 266 00:12:07,520 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: got a name or two extra that nobody really knows 267 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080 Speaker 1: that might fight their way into it, but I doubt it. 268 00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: With Bodine started all sixteen last year, they'll be Okay, 269 00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:19,920 Speaker 1: you know the problem here, as I see it, is 270 00:12:20,559 --> 00:12:23,719 Speaker 1: who scares you? Right? You guys talk about it every day. 271 00:12:23,720 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 1: So when you come and watch one practice, you're looking 272 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: at Okay, where's the guy that's going to scare you? 273 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,600 Speaker 1: To keep the extra guy on the box every down? 274 00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: You know, I said the last three games of the year. 275 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,400 Speaker 1: Last year, they threw the bowl of Shady a lot. Yeah, 276 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,560 Speaker 1: it's like twenty targets in three games. Right, Benjamin's not 277 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:43,160 Speaker 1: that guy. He doesn't scare you deep because well I'll 278 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 1: be if I was here every day. What I would 279 00:12:45,360 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: love to see is him against Vante Davis's press because 280 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,880 Speaker 1: they're playing off with Vante. But he was a pretty 281 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,240 Speaker 1: good press corner. I'd love to see him up on 282 00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:57,440 Speaker 1: the big guy four centers outside release all the time. 283 00:12:57,480 --> 00:12:59,199 Speaker 1: That if he beat that all the time, then I 284 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 1: would say, yeah, you got something. Hey, Penn, I want 285 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 1: to get you involved in because this is an issue 286 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: we do talk about a lot, and it's our Twitter 287 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: poll today who will be this year's Buffalo Bills X 288 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,440 Speaker 1: factor player? I asked my producer, you define X factor 289 00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:13,080 Speaker 1: and I'll use this, he said, he looked it up. 290 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,480 Speaker 1: X factor, he said, special quality, difficult to describe. A 291 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,400 Speaker 1: person was strong but unpredictable influence. Now for Twitter, we 292 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,640 Speaker 1: had these three choices, Charles Clay Vonte Davis. You just 293 00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,240 Speaker 1: talked about Za Jones, but other is there one guy 294 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:28,880 Speaker 1: that you see in your observation of practice toy. You 295 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,240 Speaker 1: think that guy nobody's keeping an eye on him. That 296 00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: guy could be a difference maker for the Bills offense 297 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 1: or defense. Yeah. I do think there's going to be 298 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: somebody in the offensive line who's not listened in those 299 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 1: five starters that might work his way into it. And 300 00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:45,440 Speaker 1: it might be the kid Wyat. Yeah, why I tell 301 00:13:45,480 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: her he's not right. He got shooed out today, but 302 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,400 Speaker 1: so I've kind of got close to him afterwards walking 303 00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: and I said, he can handle being chewed out. So 304 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 1: I could see that kid working his way into the 305 00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,480 Speaker 1: lineup the guys on the list. Vante Davis would be 306 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,920 Speaker 1: my pick. I think you're gonna they're gonna throw away 307 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: from Jadavious White a lot and check out the old 308 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:04,839 Speaker 1: man and see if he still got it right. I 309 00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:06,640 Speaker 1: agree with you a kind of percent. I thought I 310 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,360 Speaker 1: always thought also thought guy with a chip on his shoulder, 311 00:14:09,400 --> 00:14:11,719 Speaker 1: you could put Shack Lawson on that list. Made the 312 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,560 Speaker 1: pass rusher coming in, he's got something to prove. First 313 00:14:14,640 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 1: round draft pick who is you know, underperformed for a 314 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,480 Speaker 1: new and for a second hope coaching staff who didn't 315 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:24,120 Speaker 1: draft him. Yep, I you know he's got to me. 316 00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:26,360 Speaker 1: He knows it, which is the best part. If they 317 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,680 Speaker 1: come in a delusion that everything's cool and I was 318 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 1: a high pick new that's not where he's at right now, 319 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:36,480 Speaker 1: so they I would think he'll respond to that. I 320 00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,400 Speaker 1: love first of all, I like you draft a lot 321 00:14:39,440 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: and Edmonds to me, I don't think it's If I 322 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: had to vet on rookie of the year right now 323 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 1: on defense, he'd be my pick. Really yeah, I think 324 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: the guy gets it mentally. I had him for a 325 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:55,600 Speaker 1: while this morning. He the veterans already accept him, kind 326 00:14:55,600 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: of like a veteran. He's twenty years old or just 327 00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,680 Speaker 1: turned twenty turn twenty. Yeah, he was nineteen when they 328 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:06,160 Speaker 1: drafted him or to a mighty right, I know, but 329 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,200 Speaker 1: I did. When he walked away from me, I said, hey, 330 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,000 Speaker 1: when you get this all figured out, and I know 331 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 1: you're close, tell him. What you want to be a 332 00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: goal line tight end, because because I think he could 333 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:16,800 Speaker 1: be pretty good down here right He's like he's as 334 00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: tall as an oak. I said, if you were playing 335 00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,280 Speaker 1: for Frabel, you would be paid. If pat you join 336 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: us from Patriots camp. You were there over the weekend. 337 00:15:23,640 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: What did you see there? Give us some intel? I 338 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 1: said to Steve. I was impressed with the depth. They 339 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: have four defensive ends that can play. They can incur 340 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,880 Speaker 1: an injury and still be a three man rotation. They 341 00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: can incur two injuries and keep the start end and 342 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: be pretty good. They're pretty good inside on the defensive line. 343 00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,960 Speaker 1: So they're gonna land up with eight linemen whether they're 344 00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720 Speaker 1: rolling them through, which is Steve's preference mind too, or 345 00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: they have It's November and you're not bringing a kid 346 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:54,600 Speaker 1: off the practice quest So I like him there. It's 347 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: a lot about high tower. There's an achilles heel if 348 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,800 Speaker 1: he goes down again. They're not real deep at the 349 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,840 Speaker 1: at the linebacker spot. You'd land up really being hurt 350 00:16:03,920 --> 00:16:07,560 Speaker 1: by that um In the secondary. Mccordy and mccordy, you know, 351 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: Jason's starting right now on the his a left corner 352 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: m They look at themselves as a nickel defense. They 353 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: got the lead so many times, they're playing sub all 354 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:21,800 Speaker 1: the time, So they really built themselves that way. Even 355 00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:26,120 Speaker 1: in practice, you're basically watching a big nickel team. They 356 00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,120 Speaker 1: like three safeties and and Devin mccordy's a hybrid guy. 357 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:31,880 Speaker 1: He can match up. He's a corner at time. So 358 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,240 Speaker 1: they they need to be better on defense. The Super 359 00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,480 Speaker 1: Bowl exposed them. They will be better on defense on offense. 360 00:16:38,560 --> 00:16:41,120 Speaker 1: It's you know, I spent Tom was in a real 361 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 1: talkative moods, so we had him for a while. Are 362 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:45,760 Speaker 1: you serious. He was in a very talkative mood and 363 00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: he came into the studio with his kids and his 364 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:51,760 Speaker 1: and his kids. His sons started inter viewing dad like 365 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:54,880 Speaker 1: and kind of challenging him, which got him warmed up. Um, 366 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:59,280 Speaker 1: Tom looked great, and they every time I'm there. On 367 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: that first day, they do a goal line scrimmage and 368 00:17:01,880 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 1: the offense didn't score, so the defense was all pumped up, 369 00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 1: and Tom was, you know, competitive about that, hoping today 370 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:10,960 Speaker 1: to change it. But I don't know who the big 371 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,879 Speaker 1: back is. I was gonna say they're still running back 372 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: by committee or will Yeah, it's a big committee. Too. 373 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,200 Speaker 1: The rookie is in that next now to the first. Yeah, 374 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,800 Speaker 1: he likes Sonny Michelle. I like Sonny Michelle. But they 375 00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,000 Speaker 1: you know, James White is so competent as the third 376 00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,919 Speaker 1: down guy. Dion Lewis was a big part of that 377 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 1: football team. But the big back ever since Lea Garrett 378 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:31,560 Speaker 1: Blunt left, I don't think they have the pounder now. 379 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,400 Speaker 1: Jeremy Hill, he's been a fumbler and uh and their 380 00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:39,240 Speaker 1: other kid, Whitehead Birkhead. So neither one of them is 381 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,480 Speaker 1: like le Garrett Blunt. So where's the big back down 382 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: on the goal line? I know you got work to do. 383 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,239 Speaker 1: One last question for you, just kind of a sum up. 384 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: What's the best case scenario for the twenty eighteen Buffalo Bills? 385 00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:53,600 Speaker 1: Look like, what do you think? Well, he made the 386 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,359 Speaker 1: playoffs last year? It was because of your conference record, right, 387 00:17:57,520 --> 00:18:00,920 Speaker 1: seven and five, that's with a break. Tiebreaker was so 388 00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:03,520 Speaker 1: and you had two great games. You go into Atlanta 389 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:06,680 Speaker 1: and when you're winning Kansas City, you're gonna need at 390 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,880 Speaker 1: least two games like that again to get to nine 391 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: and seven because you're you're breaking in a quarterbacks. Say 392 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:14,200 Speaker 1: what you want about Tyrode, he knew how to play. 393 00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,879 Speaker 1: He didn't throw picks, it didn't turn it over, and 394 00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: their defense was getting him. And that's and he had 395 00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:21,359 Speaker 1: a couple of runs to move the chains. Children always 396 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,720 Speaker 1: says that if your quarterback will give you two first 397 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:27,080 Speaker 1: downs a game running, you're gonna win a lot of games. 398 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 1: Where's that movement skill? So I would say eight and eight, 399 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:33,200 Speaker 1: nine and seven, we take that. Take that today. Thank 400 00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: you for this.

Welcome back to 408 00:19:05,119 --> 00:19:07,240 Speaker 1: One Goes Live from training camp, John Murphy and Steve 409 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: Tasker and joining us second year quarterback Nathan Peterman on set. Nathan, 410 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 1: thanks for coming by. We appreciate it. Yeah, thanks for 411 00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,800 Speaker 1: having me. We were just talking. We were watching practice today. 412 00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 1: A lot of red zone work today. Huh yep. Yep, 413 00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 1: and you know it's a critical situation. I mean, something 414 00:19:19,520 --> 00:19:22,040 Speaker 1: that is a lot different timing. You know, obviously the 415 00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: defense has a lot less room to defend, so getting 416 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: that timing down and the spacing is critical. One of 417 00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,640 Speaker 1: the things everybody always watches at this time of year. 418 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,439 Speaker 1: Your you guys mix up the reps, you and and 419 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 1: Aj and Josh, but everybody else does too, and that's 420 00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 1: part of the problem of getting better is that you're 421 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,120 Speaker 1: playing with eleven or ten different guys in the huddle 422 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,800 Speaker 1: almost every play or every you know, every practice. Explain 423 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,320 Speaker 1: a little bit why that's that kind of makes every 424 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,200 Speaker 1: delays all the progress that everybody's making, because it does 425 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:55,040 Speaker 1: matter when you know who you're in there with and 426 00:19:55,080 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 1: how they play at every position, not just you and 427 00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,680 Speaker 1: the quarterbacks and the receivers, but also the offensive line 428 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:02,880 Speaker 1: run backs. Explain why it's so difficult to get better 429 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: when you're installing all this new stuff and you got 430 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: different guys to play with every play. Yeah, you know, 431 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,560 Speaker 1: we're trying to build chemistry, so obviously that comes with 432 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,840 Speaker 1: a lot of reps a lot of time when you're 433 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,159 Speaker 1: rotating guys. You know, there's some you know, things that 434 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,560 Speaker 1: you gotta get used to some familiarity that's not necessarily there. 435 00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: But you know, that's what this time of years for. 436 00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,280 Speaker 1: And I think we're making huge strides to get there, 437 00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,040 Speaker 1: and you know, just get the chemistry to trust in 438 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:27,800 Speaker 1: the field, down with with the whole huddle. As you know, Nathan, 439 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:30,320 Speaker 1: there's a quarterback paddle and it's been well chronicled, well 440 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,159 Speaker 1: covered in the media. And today you got much of 441 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: your work with the Ones and that'll be noted, right 442 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:37,600 Speaker 1: Does that matter when you're out there? I know you don't. 443 00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:39,439 Speaker 1: You want to play with everybody, You want to have 444 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,439 Speaker 1: a relationship with everybody. But when you know you're going 445 00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,280 Speaker 1: to get most of your work with the Ones, you 446 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:45,040 Speaker 1: feel like, Okay, this is a good day for me. 447 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 1: This is a chance for me to show something here. 448 00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,440 Speaker 1: I don't think, you know, it necessarily matters like that. 449 00:20:49,480 --> 00:20:51,240 Speaker 1: I mean, every day is a great opportunity. You know, 450 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:53,000 Speaker 1: we get to go against such great guys, play with 451 00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: such great guys, and you know, it's the NFL, and 452 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 1: to have the opportunity to be in a camp and 453 00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:00,560 Speaker 1: you know, compete for a starting job is awesome. And 454 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: you know something that I'm definitely you know chairson and 455 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: going after and uh, you know, and I think whatever 456 00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,240 Speaker 1: they put in front of me, I'm gonna go DoD 457 00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,400 Speaker 1: it's the best my ability. I think it was the 458 00:21:10,440 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: first play of teamwork down here red zone and you're 459 00:21:13,840 --> 00:21:16,680 Speaker 1: looking for Calvin Benjamin as you probably you should when 460 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 1: you're down that close and tradevious, White just made a 461 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,920 Speaker 1: great play.

Okay, 504 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 1: talk about that playing and now you know you got 505 00:22:58,400 --> 00:23:00,560 Speaker 1: to have the ability to to throw or he's open 506 00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 1: kind of which did it was kind of a low 507 00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,680 Speaker 1: pass that he gathered in. Yeah, so it's man coverage. Um, 508 00:23:04,760 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: and really you know on that route, you're trusting card 509 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:08,359 Speaker 1: to win all the way. You know, I'm trying to 510 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: look the safety off it to make sure it's not 511 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: two on one, it's only one on one. And then 512 00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,400 Speaker 1: Carry does a great job beating his guy, and I'm 513 00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:15,920 Speaker 1: just trying to give him a ball at an easy 514 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 1: ball to catch and um, you know, score touchdown and 515 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: he did a great job going to get it and 516 00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:23,640 Speaker 1: then uh, you know scoring You guys have also more 517 00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,680 Speaker 1: so than anybody the quarterbacks kind of you guys gotta 518 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:30,640 Speaker 1: take snaps.

So um, 532 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,439 Speaker 1: you know it's uh, they don't taper for us at all. 533 00:24:04,480 --> 00:24:06,800 Speaker 1: It's more us tapering for them what they like. Um. 534 00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,320 Speaker 1: And it's just about like I've been talking about his chemistry, 535 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: you know, trying to get it with each and every guy. 536 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: And right now there's a lot of shuffle going around 537 00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:16,280 Speaker 1: where you get work with you know, different guys. But 538 00:24:16,280 --> 00:24:18,119 Speaker 1: I think that's good. You know, it's uh, you know, 539 00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: you never know what could happen in the season two. 540 00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:21,719 Speaker 1: So um, being able to get work with with all 541 00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:24,480 Speaker 1: those guys is important you Steve and I were patting 542 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: ourselves on the back because we really paid attention today 543 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,879 Speaker 1: to practice. Isn't really for the first time. Yeah, there 544 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: we go. Thank actually, thanks for doing But there was 545 00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 1: one red one more red zone question I have for you. 546 00:24:34,400 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: There was one red zone period that looked like it 547 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: was focused on the running gate. Is that right? And 548 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:39,920 Speaker 1: you got some pretty good runs from Shady from Priss 549 00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:43,240 Speaker 1: ivery and yeah, we had some great downhill runs and um, 550 00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:45,000 Speaker 1: I thought the offensive line did a great job opened 551 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,399 Speaker 1: up holes. And that's been an emphasis, you know, of 552 00:24:47,560 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: establishing our identity, establishing a line of scrimmage and um, 553 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: you know, trying to open up some of those holes 554 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: to get those guys downhill. And they did a great job, 555 00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:56,639 Speaker 1: you know, in space, making guys miss and then just 556 00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: getting the ball straight downhill. You're paying attention right pretty much. 557 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: It has a hard time holding my attention. But I 558 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,239 Speaker 1: was looking, I was watching Talk Talk a little bit. 559 00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:09,120 Speaker 1: Now you guys are installing offense day ball is new, 560 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 1: you guys are everything's brand new for you guys. You've 561 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,800 Speaker 1: gone through the OTAs and the mini camps and now 562 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:15,280 Speaker 1: it's for real. I mean, you're really putting it in. 563 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:17,400 Speaker 1: You're gonna use this stuff in games. Talk about how 564 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,639 Speaker 1: that's going in is you know, can you describe what 565 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,720 Speaker 1: the offense is gonna look like? Is? Nobody knows what's 566 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: gonna look like. It's gonna be new players running a 567 00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 1: new offense. Uh, new quarterbacks, you know, talk about how 568 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: different it's gonna be and and some of the things 569 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:33,000 Speaker 1: you like about it. Yeah, well it's there's gonna be 570 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,400 Speaker 1: a lot of movement. I think, you know, a lot 571 00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:37,520 Speaker 1: of creativity you're gonna see from coach Dabele. And um, 572 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:39,520 Speaker 1: you know, obviously, like you said, with camp, the intensities 573 00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 1: up a little bit. You know, we did a great 574 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,199 Speaker 1: job in OTAs I thought of installing this offense, everybody 575 00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: getting familiar with it. But you know, now guys are 576 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:47,960 Speaker 1: expected to know what they're doing and uh, if we've 577 00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,160 Speaker 1: been through it once already, and um, so now we're 578 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,760 Speaker 1: going out there trying to make plays. And that's that's 579 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,399 Speaker 1: really what it comes down to, is Coach Dabel does 580 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:56,520 Speaker 1: a great job moving guys around, but at the end 581 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's about us players making plays. 582 00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:00,600 Speaker 1: And um, you know, that's what we're gonna focus on 583 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: and hopefully we see in the preseason and the regular season. 584 00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:05,080 Speaker 1: Hey we say when we have josh On, but it's true. 585 00:26:05,119 --> 00:26:07,320 Speaker 1: For I think all three of the quarterbacks day ball 586 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,959 Speaker 1: is right there, right in your ear, right in your face. Right. 587 00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,639 Speaker 1: He's not shy. It's not like he's designed all these 588 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,919 Speaker 1: plays and he's looking from above. He's right in your 589 00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:17,159 Speaker 1: face almost every play after the play, right he is. 590 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 1: And that's type of coach he is. And he he 591 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: gets fired up. He gets in the huddle a couple 592 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: of times and I'm like, easy, coach, I need to 593 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,800 Speaker 1: call the play and stuff. But um no, he's great. 594 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: That that intensity I think, you know, rubs off on 595 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: the whole offense and um something that they can really 596 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: feed off of and feel that that energy from him. 597 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:36,040 Speaker 1: With Nathan Peterman, Bill's second year quarterback here at the 598 00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,440 Speaker 1: training camp. Big picture, Nate, Um, you know where you're 599 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,640 Speaker 1: at your second year and you're in a three three 600 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: man quarterback competition. Um, it's probably I'm not saying it's 601 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 1: an ideal circumstance, but not a bad place to be 602 00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 1: in based on where you were a year ago. I 603 00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,199 Speaker 1: would think in terms of a chance to win a 604 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 1: starting job here. Huh absolutely, you know, like I said, 605 00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: I'm just extremely thankful to have the opportunity, um to 606 00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:59,520 Speaker 1: go compete every day, you know, um being in a 607 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,159 Speaker 1: camp NFL camp, there's only thirty two of these, and 608 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 1: you know so many guys even just want to be 609 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,200 Speaker 1: in camp. So UM to start with thankfulness from there 610 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:08,280 Speaker 1: and then to being a competition and you know, vying 611 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,880 Speaker 1: for the starting job is something you know, I'm I'm 612 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:13,959 Speaker 1: very thankful for, but um also going going after with 613 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 1: all my heart and putting a lot of work in. 614 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: One of the things you have that the others don't 615 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: have is I mean you don't have Dable. But many 616 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,040 Speaker 1: of the coaches on your side of the ball know 617 00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:23,840 Speaker 1: you from a year ago, right, They saw you play 618 00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: a couple of times, a couple of starts. It's got 619 00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,400 Speaker 1: to be an advantage, right, they know they can trust 620 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: you with certain things. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, 621 00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: you know, coach Dable, I'm sure I was able to watch, 622 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,600 Speaker 1: you know, everything that happened last year. But it's good 623 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:36,639 Speaker 1: for me to have familiarity with those guys, you know, 624 00:27:36,680 --> 00:27:40,040 Speaker 1: because certainly talk to other positions, other position coaches and 625 00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 1: you know, talk about chemistry. I mean it's it's important 626 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: with the staff I think as well. So, UM, I 627 00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 1: thought we've done a great job, just just continuing to 628 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,560 Speaker 1: build on that. What's been the communication between Sean McDermot 629 00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,920 Speaker 1: and Brian Dable to you three quarterbacks about the plan? 630 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:56,480 Speaker 1: What going forward? What do you anticipate happening? What are 631 00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:58,280 Speaker 1: they told you is definitely gonna happen, and what are 632 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: they and what are they said We're gonna have to 633 00:27:59,840 --> 00:28:01,720 Speaker 1: wait and see about. Yeah, I don't know. Just to 634 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:03,200 Speaker 1: go out there and compete, you know every day I 635 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,960 Speaker 1: go where they tell me, Um, as far as rep wise, 636 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,879 Speaker 1: but you know, I'm ready to go out and you know, 637 00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: be the best I can be every time. So um, 638 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: you know, I think it to get too far ahead 639 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:15,119 Speaker 1: of yourself is is a little too much. Sometimes you 640 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:16,800 Speaker 1: just kind of got to take it one time, one 641 00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,880 Speaker 1: day at a time, um, and then go from there. 642 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,639 Speaker 1: Have you ever been in a situation like this before 643 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,800 Speaker 1: at Pitt or prior to that, where you were had 644 00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,439 Speaker 1: this much competition, you know, before season began for for 645 00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: a starting job. Yep, yep, uh, you know basically a 646 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,040 Speaker 1: lot of years Um, at Tennessee and Pitt as well. 647 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,600 Speaker 1: You know, competed, had to earn my spot every time. 648 00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:36,680 Speaker 1: And is it a comforting feeling or are you on 649 00:28:36,840 --> 00:28:39,440 Speaker 1: agity thing? No? I think it's it's how football should be. 650 00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: You know, everybody should should have to earn their spot, 651 00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: you know, and really how life is. You know, it's 652 00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,720 Speaker 1: not nothing's given to you. You know, everything's earned, everything's taken, 653 00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:49,640 Speaker 1: and um, you know, to be able to prove that, um, 654 00:28:49,800 --> 00:28:53,120 Speaker 1: is really a great opportunity and what you want and this, uh, 655 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the starting job. I mean you started at Pitt obviously, 656 00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,840 Speaker 1: started at Tennessee before that. To not start last year, 657 00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: to not be the start, was that an awkward feeling 658 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 1: for you? A different feeling and what you got used 659 00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:04,240 Speaker 1: to him as a quarterback? Yeah, obviously you want to 660 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: be the starter. You know. That's that's a goal of 661 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:08,880 Speaker 1: every kid, you know growing up, is to be a 662 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,600 Speaker 1: starting quarterback in the NFL. UM. So, yes, I did. 663 00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 1: But at the same time, I had a job to 664 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:14,800 Speaker 1: do last year as well, um, you know, being the 665 00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: back of the majority of the time, and you know 666 00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,440 Speaker 1: I tried to learn everything I could from Tyrod and um, 667 00:29:19,480 --> 00:29:21,719 Speaker 1: you know, our offensive coordinator last year and everything that 668 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:23,720 Speaker 1: was going on, but um, at the same time be 669 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 1: ready to play and and try to be ready to 670 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:27,239 Speaker 1: start when it came. What what are some of the 671 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: things that you notice about this training camp? This is 672 00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's second one, your second one, and what's I know, 673 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,640 Speaker 1: there's a lot of new faces. What's the big difference 674 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 1: that this camp and last camp. What do you feel 675 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: it's like, wow, this is way different. Well, I don't 676 00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:42,360 Speaker 1: know if it's a huge difference. Obviously the faces are different, 677 00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:44,239 Speaker 1: you know, and I was a rookie last year. Things 678 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: were kind of you know, going pretty fast for me. Um, 679 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:48,240 Speaker 1: you know, I think I've I've calmed down, got a 680 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:52,800 Speaker 1: little bit more familiarity, comfortability with everything, and UM, you know, 681 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,960 Speaker 1: I know it's intent out there today even you know, 682 00:29:55,040 --> 00:29:58,080 Speaker 1: and that was good just to see the intense competition, Um, 683 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: guys getting better every day and the compete in against 684 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 1: each other. I'm sure most interviews you do people want 685 00:30:02,320 --> 00:30:03,920 Speaker 1: to ask you about the Chargers game. I don't. I 686 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,160 Speaker 1: want to ask you about the second start the Colts 687 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 1: game and your mindset, UM trying to I know there 688 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,520 Speaker 1: was snow forecast for that day, but not to the 689 00:30:11,560 --> 00:30:13,440 Speaker 1: extent that it happened, right, I mean, do you recall 690 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:16,280 Speaker 1: your feeling like Saturday night, Sunday morning, going into that start, 691 00:30:16,360 --> 00:30:18,360 Speaker 1: knowing that you'd beat the starter that day. Yeah, you know, 692 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: obviously I was thankful for another opportunity, and uh, you know, 693 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:23,880 Speaker 1: it was trying to go out there and put my 694 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:26,200 Speaker 1: best foot forward help us win. Um. And it was 695 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,280 Speaker 1: crazy because there wasn't any snow about an hour before 696 00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 1: the game, right, yeah. Practice everyone's like warmed up was fine. Right, 697 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,560 Speaker 1: Everybody's like it's called for snow.

You know, 715 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: Guy's footing wasn't what isn't as good, but you know, 716 00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: luckily we were still being able to make some plays, 717 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 1: score some points.

It requires some explanation, which is okay, and 750 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,040 Speaker 1: Steve You'll be happy to know that our Twitter poll 751 00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:59,200 Speaker 1: today is getting pretty even results, which I know was 752 00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:01,680 Speaker 1: your signal for a good question, right. You love when 753 00:33:01,720 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 1: that happened. Who will be this year's Buffalo Bill's X Factor? 754 00:33:05,160 --> 00:33:08,240 Speaker 1: Which player will be this year's Bills X Factor? When 755 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 1: the topic came up, I asked our producer Jay Harris, 756 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,400 Speaker 1: define X factor for me please. He looked it up. 757 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: It's a special quality, difficult to describe, but it's a 758 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,800 Speaker 1: person with a strong but unpredictable influence on any endeavor, 759 00:33:20,920 --> 00:33:23,600 Speaker 1: this meaning twenty eighteen Buffalo Bills. So we came up 760 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:25,000 Speaker 1: with a couple of names. Who will be this year's 761 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's X factor? The guy that is unpredictable. You 762 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,560 Speaker 1: don't know that he's gonna do this, but if he 763 00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 1: does play well or poorly, I guess if we want 764 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,920 Speaker 1: to go that way, he would have a big influence 765 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: how this season goes. Our Twitter poll, who will be 766 00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:40,000 Speaker 1: this year's Buffalo Bill's X Factor? We have three names 767 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: up there, plus the always We have other Charles Clay 768 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:47,200 Speaker 1: tight end, Vante Davis cornerback, Zay Jones wide receiver, and other. 769 00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,800 Speaker 1: Right now, thirty percent of you have somebody else in mind, 770 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:51,479 Speaker 1: love to hear who you're thinking. Give us a call. 771 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 1: Eight oh three oh five fifty or two three one 772 00:33:54,160 --> 00:33:57,200 Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Twenty seven 773 00:33:57,240 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: percent of you say Charles Clay, twenty four percent of 774 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:02,960 Speaker 1: you Vonte Davis, nineteen percent of you say the X 775 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 1: factor player will be Zay Jones. I'm gonna go on 776 00:34:05,760 --> 00:34:08,080 Speaker 1: offense because I do think that's look. I'm counting on 777 00:34:08,120 --> 00:34:10,319 Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense to be pretty solid this year, so 778 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,239 Speaker 1: I'll leave Vonte Davis off to the side offense either 779 00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:15,080 Speaker 1: one of those two. But I'm gonna say Charles Clay 780 00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: steam From what I've seen of the offense five practices 781 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,200 Speaker 1: so far, they're gonna work things over the middle a 782 00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,160 Speaker 1: little bit more than they have, and I think that 783 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,040 Speaker 1: plays right into what Charles Clay can provide to this team. Now. 784 00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:27,800 Speaker 1: He's been productive in his years with the Bills, productive 785 00:34:27,840 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 1: but not sensational, not game breaking type player. He might 786 00:34:31,080 --> 00:34:33,560 Speaker 1: turn into much more of a threat in the passing 787 00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:35,440 Speaker 1: game based on what I've seen here and based what 788 00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:37,880 Speaker 1: I think Charles Clay is capable of. So my X 789 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 1: factor for this year's Bills would be tight end Charles Clay. 790 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:43,279 Speaker 1: Twenty seven percent of our respondents agree with that. Yeah, 791 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: and I'll tell you this, thirty percent of the respondence 792 00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:48,839 Speaker 1: had something other in mind. I think one of them 793 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:51,840 Speaker 1: might speak for a lot of the lot of the 794 00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: listeners and viewers. Sipping the koup Laid tweets Brian daboles 795 00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:00,000 Speaker 1: the X factor. He appears to be creative and innovative 796 00:35:00,120 --> 00:35:02,160 Speaker 1: and twenty one personnel, which usually gets you a base 797 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,440 Speaker 1: defense with three linebackers. He spread out the fullback, running 798 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: back and tight end wide with an empty set to 799 00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:10,040 Speaker 1: create a mismatch and with motion, it tells the quarter 800 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: quarterback what the defense defense is doing. Don't count this 801 00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 1: offense out? Yeah you think? And I've always said, UH, 802 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:19,759 Speaker 1: coordinators are the guys that can be at and if 803 00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,839 Speaker 1: you're looking off the field, I don't think there's any 804 00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:26,240 Speaker 1: question Brian Dable is going to be UH a big 805 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:28,400 Speaker 1: factor and what happens with this team. I don't think 806 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,799 Speaker 1: there's any any refuting that. And that's a that's a 807 00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:34,839 Speaker 1: great UH. It's a great insight. By sipping the kool aid, 808 00:35:35,520 --> 00:35:39,720 Speaker 1: which I've been promoting all off season, coordinators are sipping cooler, 809 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:45,439 Speaker 1: Sip cooler, um, you're sipping some now. Yeah. Here's here's 810 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,719 Speaker 1: something from the tweet sheet that I like. This come from. 811 00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,000 Speaker 1: This comes from Tom Spence. When we asked the question 812 00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:52,800 Speaker 1: who's gonna be this year's Buffalo Bill's X factor player? 813 00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:55,120 Speaker 1: I guess we were talking about, he says Charles Clay. 814 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 1: Tom Spence says, Charles Clay's biggest problem since coming here 815 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:01,799 Speaker 1: is targets. In my opinion, with chances he'll be a 816 00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: major factor in the passing game, I agree with you, 817 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: Tom Spence. More targets, better places for those targets who 818 00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:10,880 Speaker 1: occur for Charles Clay, and I think he can he 819 00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:13,640 Speaker 1: can be a serious player in this offense, red zone included. 820 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:15,480 Speaker 1: And he's my guy. He's the guy who I think 821 00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,399 Speaker 1: is going to make a difference that we're not really 822 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:21,439 Speaker 1: thinking about. Clay pretty consistent about fifty catches per game 823 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:23,759 Speaker 1: or per season for the Bills, two or three or 824 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,040 Speaker 1: four touchdowns in his first three years of the Bills. 825 00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,480 Speaker 1: He can do more than that. He can get play 826 00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:30,040 Speaker 1: so many touchdowns and catch maybe sixty five seventy balls. 827 00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:31,759 Speaker 1: He's now standing tight in one of the one of 828 00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,520 Speaker 1: the things that's held him back in somewhat respects has 829 00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:36,600 Speaker 1: been the fact that he's he's got a knee that 830 00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 1: they like to nurse through. He takes usually takes a 831 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,560 Speaker 1: day off during the season during the week of practice, 832 00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:46,080 Speaker 1: doesn't practice every day, and because of that sometimes you 833 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,799 Speaker 1: worry about whether he's going to be available to have 834 00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,719 Speaker 1: a big impact. But at this point, he's been pretty 835 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 1: much been available all all season, throughout the throughout his career, 836 00:36:56,400 --> 00:36:58,520 Speaker 1: and I agree with you. He is a really gifted 837 00:36:58,560 --> 00:37:01,920 Speaker 1: tight end one the Buffalo bill are gonna target a lot. 838 00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,880 Speaker 1: It's particularly day ball and I am I'm excited to 839 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 1: see him play this season. Who's your X factor? Give 840 00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:08,920 Speaker 1: us a call The line's open eight oh three h 841 00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:11,879 Speaker 1: five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight five 842 00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:14,319 Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty, or you can do it on 843 00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:17,600 Speaker 1: Twitter at one. Bill's Live on the tweet sheet from 844 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:20,759 Speaker 1: Wandering Jack, a frequent Twitter Contributor's got a good one. 845 00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,319 Speaker 1: He says, I voted for Clay. The best friend of 846 00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:25,680 Speaker 1: a young unproven quarterback is a good titan who can 847 00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:28,279 Speaker 1: find the soft spots and zones and get open to 848 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:30,920 Speaker 1: Bill out his quarterback. Also, Clay has the speed to 849 00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,200 Speaker 1: get downfield and create big plays day ball and will 850 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: emphasize using him as a mismatch. Don't forget O'Leary here either. 851 00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,080 Speaker 1: I like Charles clay. He's my choice. Yeah, and it's 852 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,719 Speaker 1: a it's a great take, and I think that's one 853 00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 1: guy that I think if you're looking for somebody to 854 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:47,799 Speaker 1: be the X factor, who we haven't seen. This is 855 00:37:47,800 --> 00:37:51,600 Speaker 1: a team that's been relying on Lashawn McCoy for three 856 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,879 Speaker 1: years now, ever since they traded for him. He's been 857 00:37:54,000 --> 00:37:56,440 Speaker 1: the bell cow of the offense. Forget about the run game. 858 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:58,319 Speaker 1: He's been the guy that has made the offense go 859 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,719 Speaker 1: and and I don't think they're going to deviate too 860 00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:04,080 Speaker 1: much from that. I think there's no questions he's the 861 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,279 Speaker 1: most gifted offensive player. He's still going to be the 862 00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:09,919 Speaker 1: engine that runs the offense. But there's no doubt either 863 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:12,000 Speaker 1: if they can get the more they can get in 864 00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:13,920 Speaker 1: their passing game, the better it's going to be for 865 00:38:14,080 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: the running game. They were They weren't very good throwing 866 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:19,520 Speaker 1: the football last year. They were the bottom of the 867 00:38:19,600 --> 00:38:23,040 Speaker 1: league and have been and that's got to change. I 868 00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,439 Speaker 1: think if anything's going to change, that is the one 869 00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,759 Speaker 1: thing that has to change. They've got to have the 870 00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:32,280 Speaker 1: capability of being a threat through the air, or they will. 871 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:35,239 Speaker 1: And if they can do that, I think they're not 872 00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:39,000 Speaker 1: gonna have to be one of those teams that's just 873 00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:41,200 Speaker 1: trying to win every other game or trying to go seven, 874 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,640 Speaker 1: seven to nine, eight and eight, nine and seven. If 875 00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:48,040 Speaker 1: they can get a productive passing game going to compliment 876 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,080 Speaker 1: an already pretty good running game, particularly with a running 877 00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:53,080 Speaker 1: back like Lashan McCoy, there's no reason to think this 878 00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:54,920 Speaker 1: offense is not going to be much much better than 879 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 1: it was a year ago. Steve and I hear at 880 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,120 Speaker 1: training camp till three this afternoon. The Bills worked out today, 881 00:38:59,520 --> 00:39:02,440 Speaker 1: no fans allowed. It was a closed practice to the 882 00:39:02,440 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: public eight forty five until about ten fifteen, ten thirty. 883 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,000 Speaker 1: We're up to a flying start already this hour. Pat 884 00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,680 Speaker 1: Kerwin from Sirius Sex m NFL Radio joined us at 885 00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 1: the top of the show. You just heard Nathan Peterman 886 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,120 Speaker 1: a couple of minutes ago, Bill's quarterback. Both of those 887 00:39:15,160 --> 00:39:17,400 Speaker 1: segments you'd be able to pick up on our website 888 00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:20,120 Speaker 1: as well on the podcast. Later on after three at 889 00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,520 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills dot com, we were at a practice to day. 890 00:39:22,520 --> 00:39:24,400 Speaker 1: I want to ask you because we asked, we've got 891 00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:26,399 Speaker 1: a lot of guests. You're gonna hear from him coming 892 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:27,880 Speaker 1: up later in the show. But Murph, you and I 893 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:30,480 Speaker 1: were there and we've we've seen a lot of football, 894 00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:33,160 Speaker 1: and what were your what were your impressions of practice? 895 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,080 Speaker 1: I mean it was a it was a nice, lively, 896 00:39:35,160 --> 00:39:38,160 Speaker 1: hard hitting, padded practice. We gotta hear from the head 897 00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 1: coach before we went out. I mean, it's been a 898 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,799 Speaker 1: full morning, so listen, it was almost worth getting up, 899 00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,239 Speaker 1: getting packed up. It's gonna get to that. It was 900 00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:47,439 Speaker 1: almost worth getting picked up at six fifteen this morning. 901 00:39:47,440 --> 00:39:49,280 Speaker 1: But when you roll out of bed in the morning, 902 00:39:49,320 --> 00:39:52,680 Speaker 1: stuff happens. You can see. Yeah, I hear that might 903 00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,440 Speaker 1: be true. Yeah, stick with me, all right. No, my impressions, 904 00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,399 Speaker 1: I saw a lot. I got three pages of notes here. 905 00:39:57,440 --> 00:39:59,279 Speaker 1: There's a ton of stuff going on going on here. 906 00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,240 Speaker 1: Big day. Joe on the sidelines today, Bill's wide receiver 907 00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 1: remaining on the sideline. Still on the non football injury list. 908 00:40:05,840 --> 00:40:08,080 Speaker 1: McDermott was asked if he's an update on a timetable 909 00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:11,800 Speaker 1: him he has done. Trent and Murphy got a maintenance 910 00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:13,480 Speaker 1: day of veteran day off today as they take it 911 00:40:13,480 --> 00:40:15,480 Speaker 1: easy on him coming back after the knee. A lot 912 00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:17,560 Speaker 1: of red zone work though, a lot of red zone work, 913 00:40:17,640 --> 00:40:19,759 Speaker 1: both in the individual period and when they got into 914 00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:22,640 Speaker 1: team work. Nathan Peterman got the first reps with the 915 00:40:22,680 --> 00:40:25,200 Speaker 1: Ones today, one of the players that I loved. I 916 00:40:25,200 --> 00:40:27,440 Speaker 1: asked Nate about it, and he didn't, you know, he 917 00:40:27,480 --> 00:40:29,840 Speaker 1: threw an interception. He probably didn't appreciate talking about it, 918 00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,000 Speaker 1: but first play and teamwork, red zone teamwork down there. 919 00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 1: He was looking for Calvin Benjamin, which he should by 920 00:40:36,120 --> 00:40:37,600 Speaker 1: the way down on the red zone, and it was 921 00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:41,680 Speaker 1: just a spectacular leaping interception by Tredavious White. And I 922 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,200 Speaker 1: turned around and said to somebody behind me, that kid 923 00:40:44,320 --> 00:40:46,239 Speaker 1: is just spectacular. I think turdeviou as good as he 924 00:40:46,280 --> 00:40:48,280 Speaker 1: was last year. He looks like he's gonna be even 925 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 1: from the first practice in this training camp, Turdavious White 926 00:40:52,880 --> 00:40:54,960 Speaker 1: jumped on a route. I mean, he is he is. 927 00:40:55,040 --> 00:40:57,560 Speaker 1: He just strikes you as a kid who's razor sharp 928 00:40:58,239 --> 00:41:00,000 Speaker 1: right now, ready to play. He could go and play 929 00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,239 Speaker 1: game right now as good as anybody in the league. 930 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:06,040 Speaker 1: He just seems like he's got that that hardened, always 931 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:08,960 Speaker 1: ready edge. He just seems like the most ready guy 932 00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,239 Speaker 1: out there, mostly because he stands out and he's out 933 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:13,360 Speaker 1: there kind of by himself, and he's always competing against 934 00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:15,120 Speaker 1: the rope White House, so you kind of get a 935 00:41:15,160 --> 00:41:16,719 Speaker 1: chance to see what he's supposed to do, and it's 936 00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:18,440 Speaker 1: always obvious what he is trying. He's trying to cover 937 00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,319 Speaker 1: a guy one on one. Man, Oh Man, you're right, Murph. 938 00:41:21,360 --> 00:41:24,120 Speaker 1: I agree with you. He is absolutely razor sharp here 939 00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 1: five days in the training. As usual when you come 940 00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:28,960 Speaker 1: down here this year, you look at quarterbacks, our guests 941 00:41:28,960 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: a minute ago. Nathan Peterman got most of the work 942 00:41:31,280 --> 00:41:34,359 Speaker 1: with the ones. Today, counter or A. J. Mccarroen got 943 00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:36,800 Speaker 1: worked with the two. Josh Down got worked with the threes. 944 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: One thing about Josh, and I'm hesitant to make too 945 00:41:39,480 --> 00:41:44,600 Speaker 1: many sweeping conclusions, but I do see a pattern developing 946 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:47,000 Speaker 1: after a week down here. He seems to struggle with 947 00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,160 Speaker 1: the short touch passes. Steve. You know, he fires it 948 00:41:49,200 --> 00:41:51,560 Speaker 1: too hard sometimes. We saw it in the red zone 949 00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:54,480 Speaker 1: individual work down here on this field, and even when 950 00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: they're in teamwork, you know, he just doesn't have the 951 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,960 Speaker 1: nice touch pass down yet, especially when they were working 952 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,600 Speaker 1: in close quarters all day to day in the red zone. Yeah, 953 00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:04,839 Speaker 1: and I think positive. That's one of the easier things 954 00:42:04,880 --> 00:42:07,080 Speaker 1: to teach, just to just to be able to throw 955 00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: it out there. But and those are should be and 956 00:42:09,239 --> 00:42:11,279 Speaker 1: that's a that's a crusher too, because you don't want 957 00:42:11,320 --> 00:42:12,759 Speaker 1: to have a guy that can make all the throws 958 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,000 Speaker 1: except the easy ones that you gotta have. I mean you, 959 00:42:15,640 --> 00:42:18,960 Speaker 1: the ones you have to complete are the ones you 960 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,239 Speaker 1: have to complete, the easy ones, you know, the ones 961 00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:24,040 Speaker 1: that should be a gimme. You've got to make sure 962 00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:26,440 Speaker 1: you get your one hundred percent on those, and you 963 00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:29,239 Speaker 1: got to work on making it perfect. But that Sean 964 00:42:29,320 --> 00:42:32,399 Speaker 1: McDermot was asked about, uh, you know the first game, 965 00:42:32,400 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 1: first preseason games coming up in another nine ten days, 966 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,560 Speaker 1: eleven days, and about the quarterbacks and the uh and 967 00:42:38,719 --> 00:42:42,640 Speaker 1: the h you know, the rotation it's gonna go. He says, listen. 968 00:42:42,840 --> 00:42:44,920 Speaker 1: He's like, he's like telling you, listen, we got a 969 00:42:45,000 --> 00:42:46,760 Speaker 1: lot of things to do before we get to actually 970 00:42:46,760 --> 00:42:48,560 Speaker 1: even making the choice as to who's going to start 971 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,640 Speaker 1: that game, who's going to be in that game, the quarterback, 972 00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:52,719 Speaker 1: who's going to be the starter. We got there's a 973 00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:54,279 Speaker 1: lot of things we have to do before that. So 974 00:42:54,320 --> 00:42:57,439 Speaker 1: he's actually he's putting off that stuff they're just trying 975 00:42:57,440 --> 00:42:59,600 Speaker 1: to get. He goes, I got a plan for today. Yeah, 976 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:01,479 Speaker 1: it was a great It was a great answer, because 977 00:43:01,480 --> 00:43:03,359 Speaker 1: if you got a plan for these quarterbacks, who's gonna 978 00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 1: do the first preseason game? He guys, Listen, I got 979 00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:07,279 Speaker 1: a plan for today, and that's what they're sticking to. 980 00:43:07,400 --> 00:43:09,040 Speaker 1: And I think they're doing what's right in front of him. 981 00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:11,440 Speaker 1: It is a good plan. Yes, about my impressions. And 982 00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,480 Speaker 1: it's funny you and pet Kurwin talking about the fight. 983 00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:16,240 Speaker 1: There were a couple It was online d line drills, 984 00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:18,200 Speaker 1: and I haven't watched a whole lot of that in 985 00:43:18,239 --> 00:43:20,040 Speaker 1: the first four days coming down here. So I watched 986 00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,359 Speaker 1: today and fairly early on Dion Dawkins starting left tackle, 987 00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:25,520 Speaker 1: got into it with Eddie Yarbrough coming off the edge. 988 00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,239 Speaker 1: Now I'm watching the plan and I'm thinking Dawkins is 989 00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:29,360 Speaker 1: doing a good job of closing out Yarbro. He's not 990 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,759 Speaker 1: getting around the edge, and it looked like Yarbrow got 991 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 1: a little bit frustrated because he took a little slap 992 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 1: at the head of Dawkins. Dawkins slapped him back. There 993 00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:40,279 Speaker 1: was another slap, another slap, and the next thing you know, 994 00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,320 Speaker 1: they're throwing down and you know, no punch is not landed, 995 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:45,640 Speaker 1: but it was it was a serious training camp scrap. Yeah, 996 00:43:45,680 --> 00:43:47,640 Speaker 1: they and I was impressed that they both cared that much. 997 00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 1: Quite frankly. They ended up on the ground, yeah with 998 00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 1: you know, and of course there's twenty five other guys there. 999 00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:56,560 Speaker 1: As soon as they started, guys started get coming over 1000 00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,200 Speaker 1: to try and break it up, and you know, it 1001 00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:01,920 Speaker 1: ended up. It was a tussle. Yeah, which one thing 1002 00:44:01,960 --> 00:44:04,120 Speaker 1: about it, And I didn't think about this at first, 1003 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:07,120 Speaker 1: but that fight took a good couple two three minutes. 1004 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:09,000 Speaker 1: Of these periods that they go through, they're only like 1005 00:44:09,040 --> 00:44:12,160 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes long, right, so like a twenty percent of it, 1006 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,319 Speaker 1: or you know, fifteen to twenty percent of this can't 1007 00:44:15,520 --> 00:44:18,120 Speaker 1: taken up by a fight. And then there was another fight. 1008 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:19,759 Speaker 1: He was kind of I couldn't tell who the old 1009 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:22,320 Speaker 1: lineman was here, like five minutes of this fifteen minute 1010 00:44:22,360 --> 00:44:24,680 Speaker 1: period or taken up by four guys fighting in two 1011 00:44:24,680 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: different It was right in front of us. Oh, it's 1012 00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,279 Speaker 1: right right, Like I was, we weren't close enough that 1013 00:44:29,320 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: we had to step away. Yeah, But you don't like 1014 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 1: in the movie Raging Bowl, like when people are getting 1015 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,919 Speaker 1: splattered by. That was Stephen and I in the front row. Right. 1016 00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:40,360 Speaker 1: It wasn't quite that bad, but yeah, we were we 1017 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,080 Speaker 1: had front row seats. Yeah, we could hear that. We 1018 00:44:42,080 --> 00:44:44,000 Speaker 1: could hear what was being said. It was fun. Yeah. 1019 00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,399 Speaker 1: The other place I want to get through observations. Yeah, 1020 00:44:46,520 --> 00:44:49,240 Speaker 1: we're running out of time here, but one more observation. 1021 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:51,919 Speaker 1: And I asked Night Peterman about it. In the red 1022 00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 1: zone eleven on eleven, I think was the final eleven 1023 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:58,040 Speaker 1: on eleven session, he threw a really good smart low 1024 00:44:58,080 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: pass to Kyrie Lee, one of the backup tight end, 1025 00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 1: lowing away yep, and Kyrie went down on one knee, 1026 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,319 Speaker 1: caught it, brought it in for a touchdown. Nathan talked 1027 00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:05,800 Speaker 1: about it. It It was it was good catch, but it 1028 00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,520 Speaker 1: was a really good throw, and I thought a smart decision, 1029 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:09,759 Speaker 1: smart throw, because you know they go down there and 1030 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: they throw these red zones, and a problem is when 1031 00:45:11,600 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: you throw a red zones, it's very crowded and very 1032 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,160 Speaker 1: close and the ball has to be in the right spot. 1033 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:17,839 Speaker 1: You can throw it the guy where he'll catch it. 1034 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,400 Speaker 1: But if you throw it where it just where you 1035 00:45:19,400 --> 00:45:20,759 Speaker 1: can catch it, there's gonna be a guy there to 1036 00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:22,799 Speaker 1: knock it away or whatever. You gotta throw it where 1037 00:45:22,840 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 1: only he can catch it. And not only that, he's 1038 00:45:25,320 --> 00:45:27,880 Speaker 1: got to work really hard to make that catch. And 1039 00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:29,799 Speaker 1: that's what that throw was. It was lowing away from 1040 00:45:29,840 --> 00:45:31,279 Speaker 1: the defender. He had to go all the way down 1041 00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:34,080 Speaker 1: on the ground, rolled over with the catch, and you're right, 1042 00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:35,560 Speaker 1: that was It was an accurate throw, It was a 1043 00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 1: smart throw. It was timed just right. It was one 1044 00:45:38,160 --> 00:45:40,960 Speaker 1: of those times things when it all came together exactly right. 1045 00:45:41,160 --> 00:45:44,040 Speaker 1: It didn't look easy, but it's not supposed to look easy. 1046 00:45:44,080 --> 00:45:46,320 Speaker 1: It's supposed to look like a touchdown. And that's exactly 1047 00:45:46,360 --> 00:45:48,440 Speaker 1: what it was, all right. So we're just getting started here. 1048 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:51,280 Speaker 1: We've had a good first hour with Pat Kerwin from Syria, 1049 00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:54,520 Speaker 1: sex M NFL Radio and Nathan Peterman you heard him 1050 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,160 Speaker 1: coming up still on the show.

That right, 1154 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,160 Speaker 1: I was gonna ask you, do you feel like you 1155 00:51:08,239 --> 00:51:11,200 Speaker 1: really saw It's like watching a stampede right in the 1156 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:14,240 Speaker 1: middle of it. Man, it's it's it'll turn your insides 1157 00:51:14,280 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 1: to water. Those guys are so big and so polished 1158 00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:19,040 Speaker 1: and so and it the intensity levels way up high. Well, 1159 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, it's like being in sidelines and training camp. Yeah, 1160 00:51:21,360 --> 00:51:24,440 Speaker 1: only it's for real and it's it's so fun when 1161 00:51:24,480 --> 00:51:26,560 Speaker 1: you do a game from the sideline. Do you ever 1162 00:51:26,600 --> 00:51:28,120 Speaker 1: feel like you need to go back and watch the 1163 00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:30,640 Speaker 1: game on tape to see what happened? We really Well, no, 1164 00:51:30,800 --> 00:51:33,080 Speaker 1: I can't see some stuff right, No, you can't see everything, 1165 00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:35,840 Speaker 1: but I do. I'm listening to the broadcast on my headphones, 1166 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 1: you know, and so I do get a sense of 1167 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,799 Speaker 1: how it's going, what's going on with it, and it's 1168 00:51:41,400 --> 00:51:43,160 Speaker 1: um so I do get a sense of what the 1169 00:51:43,200 --> 00:51:47,759 Speaker 1: big picture is. But um but it's it's the best 1170 00:51:47,800 --> 00:51:49,920 Speaker 1: seat in the house, really right up close to it. Well, 1171 00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:51,920 Speaker 1: Steve is here.

Who will be? Which player will be 1177 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:09,480 Speaker 1: this year's Bills X factor? Which player will be the 1178 00:52:09,680 --> 00:52:12,960 Speaker 1: person with the strong but unpredictable influence on how the 1179 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,400 Speaker 1: Bills do this year? On Twitter, so far, thirty percent 1180 00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:18,000 Speaker 1: of you go with the other. So you've got somebody 1181 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,640 Speaker 1: in mind. Let's hear who it is on the telephone. 1182 00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:22,239 Speaker 1: Nine twenty eight percent of you say tight end Charles Clay, 1183 00:52:22,320 --> 00:52:25,480 Speaker 1: that's my vote, twenty three percent of you say Vonte Davis, 1184 00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:28,759 Speaker 1: nineteen percent of you say wide receivers A Jones give 1185 00:52:28,840 --> 00:52:30,879 Speaker 1: us a call to discuss eight oh three h five 1186 00:52:30,960 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two 1187 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,600 Speaker 1: five fifty. Who's your X factor? Jose and Buffalo on 1188 00:52:36,680 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 1: the line with us as a thought on that, Jose, 1189 00:52:38,520 --> 00:52:40,800 Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Good afternoon, guys, And 1190 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: I'm so jealous on your background, I'm jealous. I'm really jealous. 1191 00:52:45,280 --> 00:52:47,919 Speaker 1: What do you mean? How good it looks here? Yeah? 1192 00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking behind you guys. Yeah you want an MSG 1193 00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:53,000 Speaker 1: And I'm just I'm so jealous. You guys got the 1194 00:52:53,040 --> 00:52:59,280 Speaker 1: perfect seat. I'm just jealous. We do good complaints factor. 1195 00:53:00,360 --> 00:53:02,440 Speaker 1: My ex factor is gonna be Jeremy Curly, believe it 1196 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,840 Speaker 1: or not, um with everybody. You know, defense is opposing 1197 00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:10,200 Speaker 1: defenses sitting there, uh, you know, focusing on Clay and uh, Benjamin, 1198 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:13,000 Speaker 1: They're gonna leave Curly out there. And Curly Curly's proven 1199 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:15,520 Speaker 1: in this league. You know, he's not no slous you know. 1200 00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: And I think that would be a good outlet for 1201 00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,320 Speaker 1: Aja Fir mccaron, who I think is going to be 1202 00:53:20,400 --> 00:53:23,839 Speaker 1: the starter. And another point, Steve, I'm drinking the kool aid. 1203 00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,960 Speaker 1: You say top ten, I'm still saying top five. Remember this, 1204 00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 1: you guys heard it from me first top five people say, yeah, 1205 00:53:31,840 --> 00:53:33,800 Speaker 1: and a lot of has to happen, Jose, and I 1206 00:53:33,840 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 1: appreciate that. That's that's nice of you to hear it, 1207 00:53:35,800 --> 00:53:37,160 Speaker 1: and I agree with you. I do think they're gonna 1208 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,160 Speaker 1: be a much improved defense, and I do think they're 1209 00:53:39,160 --> 00:53:43,920 Speaker 1: gonna be um. They're gonna I think in worst case scenario, 1210 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:47,040 Speaker 1: they're gonna flirt with that top ten. There's certainly gonna 1211 00:53:47,040 --> 00:53:49,919 Speaker 1: be a top twenty, top fifteen defense. But uh, they're 1212 00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,360 Speaker 1: gonna be better. But they do have to stay healthy, 1213 00:53:52,640 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 1: they have to play well. Their secondary is still is 1214 00:53:55,239 --> 00:53:57,799 Speaker 1: maybe gonna get a huge amount of benefit. We were 1215 00:53:57,840 --> 00:54:00,880 Speaker 1: watching the past rush drills today, the pass rush is 1216 00:54:00,920 --> 00:54:03,120 Speaker 1: gonna be a much improved pass rush than it was 1217 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:06,080 Speaker 1: a year ago. That spells to more balls thrown when 1218 00:54:06,239 --> 00:54:08,879 Speaker 1: the defense wants him to be thrown rather than when 1219 00:54:08,920 --> 00:54:12,040 Speaker 1: the offense decides to throw it coming out of the pocket. 1220 00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:15,880 Speaker 1: So I agree with you and I it's gonna be 1221 00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:19,440 Speaker 1: fun to see, but I am excited about the front seven. 1222 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:23,840 Speaker 1: Trent Murphy is going to add something to them. Jerry 1223 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,160 Speaker 1: Hughes is going to have a bounce back here not 1224 00:54:26,400 --> 00:54:29,759 Speaker 1: being able to be double teamed constantly, and from the 1225 00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,920 Speaker 1: push from the inside with the star Lotulelee and Kyle Williams, 1226 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips, it's gonna be a lot of fun to 1227 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:40,240 Speaker 1: see this defense take to gain its identity. We certainly 1228 00:54:40,280 --> 00:54:41,920 Speaker 1: don't know exactly what it's going to look like or 1229 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,080 Speaker 1: how productive it will be, but there's no doubt there's 1230 00:54:44,080 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: a lot to be excited about on that side of 1231 00:54:45,719 --> 00:54:47,920 Speaker 1: the ball. You know, his first point about Curley is 1232 00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:51,480 Speaker 1: important too. He probably merited a spot on our Twitter list, 1233 00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:52,920 Speaker 1: but I'm glad he called up, and in fact, we 1234 00:54:53,080 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: have a on the tweet sheet, somebody said exactly the 1235 00:54:56,160 --> 00:55:00,080 Speaker 1: same thing. Jonathan Gates said, his X factors select and 1236 00:55:00,120 --> 00:55:02,920 Speaker 1: as Jeremy Curley, he's been productive and teams will focus 1237 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:06,000 Speaker 1: on Shady and Kelvin Benjamin Good points and Curly has 1238 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,319 Speaker 1: been productive going into his eighth years. Split time last 1239 00:55:08,360 --> 00:55:10,560 Speaker 1: year between the Jets and the forty nine ers, but 1240 00:55:10,640 --> 00:55:13,160 Speaker 1: he's caught passes he had I'm looking at his numbers here. 1241 00:55:13,160 --> 00:55:15,520 Speaker 1: He had a fifty six catch year in twenty and 1242 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,320 Speaker 1: twelve with a couple of touchdowns, forty three receptions the 1243 00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:20,920 Speaker 1: year after that, thirty eighth the year after that. Curly 1244 00:55:21,040 --> 00:55:22,719 Speaker 1: knows how to play at least, you got to say 1245 00:55:22,760 --> 00:55:26,160 Speaker 1: that much. Yeah, if he's been dependable, and that's one 1246 00:55:26,160 --> 00:55:28,160 Speaker 1: of been one of the things that you like about him. 1247 00:55:28,320 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 1: The guy nothing's gonna scare him out there. He's not 1248 00:55:30,800 --> 00:55:32,480 Speaker 1: going to be a guy who's not gonna be in 1249 00:55:32,520 --> 00:55:34,239 Speaker 1: the right spot. That's how you stay in the league. 1250 00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:36,399 Speaker 1: As long as Curly has you're in the right spot, 1251 00:55:36,600 --> 00:55:38,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna get open. Your quarterback is gonna like you 1252 00:55:38,920 --> 00:55:41,880 Speaker 1: and gonna want to throw you the football. There is 1253 00:55:41,920 --> 00:55:43,799 Speaker 1: a lot to like about what he has shown he's 1254 00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,400 Speaker 1: able to do in the past, and it's all a 1255 00:55:47,480 --> 00:55:49,480 Speaker 1: lot of it, and we've gotten some tweets about this. 1256 00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 1: It's all gonna come down to the guy pulling the trigger, 1257 00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: and we don't know exactly who that's gonna be. D 1258 00:55:55,120 --> 00:55:58,279 Speaker 1: Daniels Ross. He says, whoever our quarterback ends up being 1259 00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,600 Speaker 1: is how the team will go. No one other position 1260 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:04,680 Speaker 1: will make or break the bills like our quarterback this year. 1261 00:56:04,960 --> 00:56:07,680 Speaker 1: So we're talking X factor. Yeah, anybody, we're talking, but 1262 00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:11,240 Speaker 1: the unpredictable guy on the fringe, somebody's going to emerge. 1263 00:56:11,280 --> 00:56:13,000 Speaker 1: It's going to be a real surprise. I think Jeremy 1264 00:56:13,080 --> 00:56:16,480 Speaker 1: Curley is a great example of that. Uh. I think 1265 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:18,719 Speaker 1: Charles Clay could also be an example that all the 1266 00:56:18,800 --> 00:56:21,239 Speaker 1: Charles Clays guy who's had fifty catches every year he's 1267 00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 1: been here, I don't know how much of an X 1268 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 1: factor he'll be unless he has one of those eighty 1269 00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:28,879 Speaker 1: five ninety catch seasons and ten touchdowns. That's the kind 1270 00:56:28,920 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 1: of year would be great to see from your tight end. 1271 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:33,840 Speaker 1: We had Zay Jones on our list of potential X 1272 00:56:33,920 --> 00:56:37,520 Speaker 1: Factor players on our Twitter list, and just because he's unpredicted, 1273 00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:39,960 Speaker 1: because he hasn't practiced yet. We don't know when to return. 1274 00:56:40,280 --> 00:56:43,120 Speaker 1: In fact, today, head coach Sean McDermott this morning before 1275 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,040 Speaker 1: practice was asked about Zay Jones. He's on non football 1276 00:56:46,080 --> 00:56:48,680 Speaker 1: injury list right now and McDermott was asked if he 1277 00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 1: is any kind of a timetable or an updated timetable 1278 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:55,960 Speaker 1: on Zay Jones. Here's what the head coach had to say. Yeah, 1279 00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,200 Speaker 1: it hasn't hasn't changed from what we um the way 1280 00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:01,879 Speaker 1: we started off camp really soud. It's it's right now. 1281 00:57:02,160 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 1: You know, you saw him out there running the other day. 1282 00:57:04,719 --> 00:57:07,799 Speaker 1: We'll continue to move in the right direction at this point. 1283 00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:10,719 Speaker 1: That point when he is ready to go, I mean, 1284 00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: can you can he be expected to jump right into 1285 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 1: it and and you know, get full reps and all 1286 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,520 Speaker 1: that with all the off times that he's at. Yeah, 1287 00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean we'll try and phase him in, you know, 1288 00:57:23,680 --> 00:57:25,880 Speaker 1: like we do with all of our players when they're injured. 1289 00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,360 Speaker 1: And I always want to know, it's an interesting question 1290 00:57:28,400 --> 00:57:30,640 Speaker 1: you ask, because I always ask our trainers, Hey, when 1291 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:32,520 Speaker 1: you say he's back, does that mean he's full go 1292 00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:35,360 Speaker 1: full reps? Does that mean he's you know, that's the 1293 00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:37,760 Speaker 1: first day he's back on the practice field. So we 1294 00:57:37,920 --> 00:57:40,320 Speaker 1: have a plan to move him so that when he 1295 00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,160 Speaker 1: does come back, um, he'll be you know, probably a 1296 00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 1: little bit limited to start off, and then and then 1297 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:50,320 Speaker 1: get him going from there. Hey, it shouldn't surprise anyone 1298 00:57:50,400 --> 00:57:52,600 Speaker 1: that Sean McDermott has a plan right for what to do? 1299 00:57:52,760 --> 00:57:56,280 Speaker 1: Was a Jones. He's got a plant. Yeah, Now I 1300 00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:59,320 Speaker 1: work the plan. And that plan is called a process, 1301 00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:01,760 Speaker 1: and we're gonna work the process. Got a plan. Speaking 1302 00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,040 Speaker 1: of receivers X Factor candidates, Don and Buffalo on the 1303 00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:07,080 Speaker 1: phone with us has an idea on that, Don, go ahead, 1304 00:58:07,120 --> 00:58:10,480 Speaker 1: you're on the air. Oh sure. Rod Streeter, he had 1305 00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:13,640 Speaker 1: an enormous preseason last year. I thought it was gonna 1306 00:58:13,640 --> 00:58:15,880 Speaker 1: be a real factor. We need to speed. But he 1307 00:58:15,960 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 1: comes back really strong this year. I vote Rob Steer. 1308 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,880 Speaker 1: Thanks a lot like that vote. He was another one 1309 00:58:22,880 --> 00:58:24,960 Speaker 1: I thought, In fact, I think I was voted down 1310 00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:26,880 Speaker 1: by you and our producer. I said, let's put Rod 1311 00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:30,400 Speaker 1: Street around this. I said, Rod Streeter. Oh he didn't. 1312 00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,160 Speaker 1: I think I did. Didn't I say that? Jay, Here's 1313 00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,400 Speaker 1: why said I appreciate Rod Streeter a lot because he 1314 00:58:36,520 --> 00:58:39,200 Speaker 1: had the good preseason last year and he's a pro. 1315 00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:40,800 Speaker 1: You know, I like guys who go out there and 1316 00:58:41,120 --> 00:58:43,440 Speaker 1: he knows the score, he knows what he's up against 1317 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:45,560 Speaker 1: and where he's at. He knows what happened last year. 1318 00:58:45,600 --> 00:58:47,280 Speaker 1: And I like Rod Streeter, I think for that reason. 1319 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,720 Speaker 1: And he's also he's always flashed a couple of times. 1320 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:53,439 Speaker 1: This year, he seems to be taking up right where 1321 00:58:53,480 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 1: he left off. Streeters, a guy who came in here 1322 00:58:55,640 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 1: as a free agent, came he was with the Raiders 1323 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 1: for a while and you know, came in, didn't wasn't 1324 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 1: a well known guy came in and really flashed last 1325 00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:07,280 Speaker 1: year in training camp, and he's doing an exact same 1326 00:59:07,320 --> 00:59:09,640 Speaker 1: thing again this year. When he gets an opportunity and 1327 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:12,480 Speaker 1: there's like twenty receivers. I'm exaggerating, but you know, if 1328 00:59:12,520 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 1: the thirteen receivers that are in camp, you're not getting 1329 00:59:15,160 --> 00:59:17,240 Speaker 1: a rep every every two or three seconds, you get 1330 00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:19,880 Speaker 1: one every two or three minutes. And every time he's 1331 00:59:19,920 --> 00:59:22,040 Speaker 1: in there, he has shown well and he's and he's 1332 00:59:22,080 --> 00:59:24,840 Speaker 1: flashed yea, And every opportunity he's gotten, he's made the 1333 00:59:24,920 --> 00:59:27,320 Speaker 1: most of us so far in camp. So that's a 1334 00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:29,240 Speaker 1: great call. And wouldn't it be nice for the Buffalo 1335 00:59:29,320 --> 00:59:31,320 Speaker 1: Bills if they got a wide receiver to step up 1336 00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 1: and be a huge X factor for the season. You 1337 00:59:33,080 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 1: know you asked me last hour about my impressions. I 1338 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:36,600 Speaker 1: didn't give you a chance. There is there anything that 1339 00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:39,480 Speaker 1: you saw today that impressed you or you made a 1340 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:42,600 Speaker 1: note of it? You did take notes? Yeah, this I did. 1341 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,320 Speaker 1: I do have thanks for the paper. By the way, 1342 00:59:45,400 --> 00:59:47,240 Speaker 1: sure you weren't prepared to take notes, but you I 1343 00:59:47,320 --> 00:59:50,080 Speaker 1: brought it. I did bring a pen. Uh No. The thing, 1344 00:59:50,280 --> 00:59:52,800 Speaker 1: the thing that got me was, and well Peter King 1345 00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 1: alludes to this in our interview is the is the 1346 00:59:56,400 --> 01:00:02,600 Speaker 1: fact that this really seems like everybody from in the 1347 01:00:02,680 --> 01:00:05,800 Speaker 1: football end of the Buffalo Bills, from the head coach 1348 01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:07,760 Speaker 1: and the general manager all the way down through the players, 1349 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:11,600 Speaker 1: the equipment guys, there really seems to be a sharp 1350 01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 1: focus on the task at hand. Every day. They've got 1351 01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:18,320 Speaker 1: specific things they want to do, and the players that 1352 01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:20,960 Speaker 1: are performing those acts and the coaches that are going 1353 01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:24,640 Speaker 1: written them through that all seem to be entirely focused 1354 01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:29,160 Speaker 1: on getting better and doing getting certain things accomplished. There 1355 01:00:29,320 --> 01:00:33,120 Speaker 1: is no there's no freewheeling, fun loving group. Now they're 1356 01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:36,160 Speaker 1: having a lot of fun well, and we've seen shades that. 1357 01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:41,600 Speaker 1: But this is a very tightly run camp. I mean 1358 01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:44,080 Speaker 1: it is buttoned up. And I don't mean buttoned up 1359 01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:47,200 Speaker 1: secret like that. I mean they are crossing their tees 1360 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,840 Speaker 1: and dotting their eyes and underlining it for an emphasis. 1361 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:54,400 Speaker 1: They are. It is a camp that is very disciplined, 1362 01:00:55,160 --> 01:00:58,120 Speaker 1: very on point, all the time. And you look at 1363 01:00:58,160 --> 01:01:01,800 Speaker 1: all the drills, the coaches, the ancilliary people that are 1364 01:01:01,840 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 1: always there, the ball boys, the trainers and and not 1365 01:01:05,960 --> 01:01:10,400 Speaker 1: the head coach and the players. They are men. They 1366 01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:13,680 Speaker 1: are on it. Yeah, and I and it's hard to 1367 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,760 Speaker 1: say that way. Yes, man, I'm telling you it is 1368 01:01:15,800 --> 01:01:21,320 Speaker 1: a disciplined I mean choreographed. Everything is button did you 1369 01:01:21,400 --> 01:01:25,760 Speaker 1: get what I'm saying? Yeah, no work, There is no 1370 01:01:26,240 --> 01:01:29,840 Speaker 1: tiddley wings, fun loving, you know, guys laughing off a sudden. 1371 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:33,040 Speaker 1: Men they are they are watching what's going on if 1372 01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,840 Speaker 1: they're not doing it. And it's it's I never really 1373 01:01:35,880 --> 01:01:37,919 Speaker 1: thought about until you ask me that. But man, oh man, 1374 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:42,680 Speaker 1: they are they are buttoned up, Yes they are, and 1375 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:45,080 Speaker 1: they were most of them. It is a serious I 1376 01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:46,920 Speaker 1: mean they were having fun. I don't get that, don't thing. 1377 01:01:47,240 --> 01:01:49,120 Speaker 1: This isn't the Patriots here like where there's no fun. 1378 01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 1: This is a buttoned up, disciplined crew from top to 1379 01:01:52,760 --> 01:01:55,880 Speaker 1: bottom and everything they do and it shows well to 1380 01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:58,000 Speaker 1: your fun point. Yeah, they're having fun, but you know why, 1381 01:01:58,080 --> 01:01:59,600 Speaker 1: and this goes to the type of guys they bring 1382 01:01:59,680 --> 01:02:02,920 Speaker 1: in here. They're having fun because these guys like to compete, 1383 01:02:03,400 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. They love to compete with 1384 01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:08,520 Speaker 1: each other and for each other. And I think that's 1385 01:02:08,560 --> 01:02:10,520 Speaker 1: why they're having fun. That that's part of the enjoyment 1386 01:02:10,520 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 1: of the game. And that's when you that's the work 1387 01:02:12,320 --> 01:02:14,280 Speaker 1: they do. You know, you see a player, how how 1388 01:02:14,320 --> 01:02:16,600 Speaker 1: does he jump, how fast does he run? How much 1389 01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,840 Speaker 1: does he like to compete? I think this group, being McDermott, 1390 01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:22,000 Speaker 1: all of those scouts and coaches, they'd like to find 1391 01:02:22,040 --> 01:02:25,040 Speaker 1: the guys who want to embrace the competition that they're 1392 01:02:25,040 --> 01:02:27,640 Speaker 1: putting out. I agree completely, and and that's the thing 1393 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:31,200 Speaker 1: that kind of overrides everything they brought in these guys. 1394 01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,560 Speaker 1: These guys are loving being in training camp and competing 1395 01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,560 Speaker 1: and doing this. They love the hard work, they love 1396 01:02:35,600 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 1: the nuts and boats, they love the technique, they love 1397 01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:41,240 Speaker 1: the film study, they love and being around each other. 1398 01:02:41,320 --> 01:02:44,680 Speaker 1: They're having fun being in it. Together. Yeah, and it's 1399 01:02:44,720 --> 01:02:49,760 Speaker 1: a real discipline, serious vibe with a bunch of guys 1400 01:02:49,840 --> 01:02:52,440 Speaker 1: who are loving what they're doing.

I've 1424 01:03:52,920 --> 01:03:55,360 Speaker 1: read this. I know that you're one of the Pittsford 1425 01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:57,000 Speaker 1: lovers that are out there in the media.

I must 1432 01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:24,920 Speaker 1: have my milkshake from the Pittsburgh Dairy Barn every year. Anyway, 1433 01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:27,840 Speaker 1: what's the great what's the great beer of the lately? 1434 01:04:29,080 --> 01:04:33,120 Speaker 1: I was just in Uh, we were just in in Pittsburgh, 1435 01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:37,320 Speaker 1: and uh, Steve, you know what is great about traveling 1436 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:42,400 Speaker 1: the country. Every single place you go to has there's 1437 01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:46,800 Speaker 1: this beer craze in America now with all the craft beers. 1438 01:04:47,200 --> 01:04:49,280 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I mean, I'm sure there's got to be 1439 01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,680 Speaker 1: seven of them in Buffalo, you know, seven places in Buffalo, 1440 01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:55,800 Speaker 1: But because I'm not there, I won't see it. And 1441 01:04:55,960 --> 01:04:57,880 Speaker 1: we have to kind of high tail it out of 1442 01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:00,600 Speaker 1: here today to go to West Virginia. But but so 1443 01:05:00,960 --> 01:05:03,800 Speaker 1: I don't know every place I go to. I'm trying 1444 01:05:03,880 --> 01:05:07,240 Speaker 1: these different weird beers. I had a beer in Philly 1445 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 1: the other day called Tonewood Freshies that is an American 1446 01:05:10,880 --> 01:05:13,280 Speaker 1: pale ale that I just said, how do I get 1447 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:16,840 Speaker 1: this beer? And you can. It's from a tiny little 1448 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:21,920 Speaker 1: brewery in Oakland, New Jersey. But everything about traveling now 1449 01:05:22,480 --> 01:05:24,600 Speaker 1: to me is sort of centered around where are we 1450 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:27,320 Speaker 1: going to get the good, the good brewpub beer this year? 1451 01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:29,040 Speaker 1: So no beer for you here. But you did get 1452 01:05:29,080 --> 01:05:30,640 Speaker 1: a look at the bills and practice today. Give me 1453 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:35,560 Speaker 1: your impressions. What do you think? Yeah, Brian day Ball 1454 01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:38,720 Speaker 1: asked me, and I said, I was impressed with mccaren. 1455 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:41,959 Speaker 1: You know, mccaren had a good day. I thought Josh 1456 01:05:42,000 --> 01:05:45,560 Speaker 1: Allen had a good day too. What was interesting? I 1457 01:05:45,720 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 1: think John is about you know, Okay, So camaraderie is 1458 01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:54,440 Speaker 1: probably overrated. I always think that you know, unless you 1459 01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,040 Speaker 1: have a good quarterback, you're not winning. But I'll tell 1460 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:03,080 Speaker 1: you you know, when I saw a couple of the 1461 01:06:03,200 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 1: touchdown catches one time by O'Leary, I mean, by by 1462 01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:09,760 Speaker 1: a couple of guys, I mean when I saw the 1463 01:06:09,920 --> 01:06:12,680 Speaker 1: crowds of people. You know, I just said it from 1464 01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,720 Speaker 1: my NBC piece out of here. I said, it looked 1465 01:06:15,760 --> 01:06:18,520 Speaker 1: like they were surrounding people like it was a walkoff 1466 01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:20,520 Speaker 1: home run in the seventh game of the World Series. 1467 01:06:20,680 --> 01:06:23,960 Speaker 1: Defense too, they run over and do the same thing, 1468 01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:26,120 Speaker 1: and the guys were making a point of it. My 1469 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:28,560 Speaker 1: whole view is, you know, before practice today, I was 1470 01:06:28,600 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 1: listening to Sean McDermott's press conference, and he takes pride 1471 01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:37,720 Speaker 1: in the fact that this is a starless, blue collar, 1472 01:06:38,480 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: you know, very very buffalo team. You know, Micah Hyde, 1473 01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:47,360 Speaker 1: he's such a valuable free agent that thirty one other 1474 01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:50,120 Speaker 1: teams don't want him. The Buffalo Bills are the only 1475 01:06:50,200 --> 01:06:52,920 Speaker 1: ones that want him. And what happens he plays has 1476 01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,000 Speaker 1: one of the best years of any defensive back in 1477 01:06:55,080 --> 01:06:59,880 Speaker 1: football last year. But I think what being in McDermott 1478 01:06:59,880 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 1: are building here is a smart plan because you know, 1479 01:07:05,160 --> 01:07:08,720 Speaker 1: what really wins in football and Steve you're the embodiment 1480 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,960 Speaker 1: of it. But what really wins in football is some talent. 1481 01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 1: And don't get me wrong, you gotta have it. But 1482 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,800 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what the effort, beyond the shadow of 1483 01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:22,040 Speaker 1: a doubt is. I cover this game year after year 1484 01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:25,479 Speaker 1: after year. I think effort is just as important as talent. 1485 01:07:25,960 --> 01:07:28,920 Speaker 1: You see these other other teams, and today was a 1486 01:07:28,960 --> 01:07:31,880 Speaker 1: padded practice and I was I was talking to Pat 1487 01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,120 Speaker 1: Kerwin as well, and you rarely ever see fights anymore 1488 01:07:37,280 --> 01:07:39,880 Speaker 1: at NFL practices, and today they had a couple. Yeah, 1489 01:07:39,960 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 1: And it's just getting to that point where you know, 1490 01:07:42,720 --> 01:07:44,960 Speaker 1: guys get frustrated, they want to play well, they want 1491 01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:47,320 Speaker 1: to do well, and something in them snaps and all 1492 01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you know, you do that, but the 1493 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,160 Speaker 1: intensity level goes up and up and up and up, 1494 01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,600 Speaker 1: until you know, finally they get a you know, in 1495 01:07:53,680 --> 01:07:55,840 Speaker 1: a week from now, they'll get two weeks from now, 1496 01:07:55,880 --> 01:07:57,959 Speaker 1: they'll get a chance to play. But talk a little 1497 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:00,240 Speaker 1: bit about the effort you see around the league, how 1498 01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 1: it's kind of had to be tempered during training camp 1499 01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:06,600 Speaker 1: because now they're not allowed to really look. I saw 1500 01:08:07,400 --> 01:08:10,440 Speaker 1: Steve when I covered the Giants in the eighties for 1501 01:08:10,560 --> 01:08:14,440 Speaker 1: a paper in New York called Newsday, I saw one 1502 01:08:14,440 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 1: of the most amazing camp fights in NFL history. I 1503 01:08:18,479 --> 01:08:21,880 Speaker 1: saw two guys on the New York Giants defensive line, 1504 01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,000 Speaker 1: Eric Dorsey and Eric Howard, two guys on the defensive 1505 01:08:25,080 --> 01:08:28,120 Speaker 1: line the same position, fight each other. And the fight 1506 01:08:28,320 --> 01:08:30,960 Speaker 1: was so incredibly violent that people didn't want to break 1507 01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: it up because they both took their helmets off and 1508 01:08:32,960 --> 01:08:35,160 Speaker 1: were swinging their helmets at each other trying to knock 1509 01:08:35,240 --> 01:08:37,760 Speaker 1: each other out. It was one of the scariest things 1510 01:08:37,800 --> 01:08:40,479 Speaker 1: I ever saw. And everybody said, oh, another camp fight. 1511 01:08:40,720 --> 01:08:44,559 Speaker 1: I said, I'm I'm not exaggerating. Somebody could have fractured 1512 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:49,479 Speaker 1: their skull and truly a deathmatch. Yeah, and right now 1513 01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:53,560 Speaker 1: and right now, in my opinion, Steve, I'm telling you, 1514 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:57,280 Speaker 1: I haven't seen a good camp fight, and I don't 1515 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:01,439 Speaker 1: I don't remember the last really good camp fight. Like today, 1516 01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,799 Speaker 1: good today, vicious like today. There's some pushing and shoving 1517 01:09:06,880 --> 01:09:09,400 Speaker 1: and hey, mf this like whatever, you know, you guys 1518 01:09:09,479 --> 01:09:13,400 Speaker 1: hit the ground. Yeah, but there's not It isn't. It 1519 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:16,040 Speaker 1: isn't a brawl. Well, you know, sort of the way 1520 01:09:16,160 --> 01:09:19,000 Speaker 1: that you have seen him in your life. I came 1521 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:21,439 Speaker 1: into the league and it was it was the steroid era. 1522 01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,479 Speaker 1: I mean, everyone big guys, and when those guys snapped, 1523 01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:27,760 Speaker 1: it was scary. And if two guys who were you know, 1524 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,840 Speaker 1: it was a better life through chemistry era. You know, 1525 01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:32,200 Speaker 1: if two of those guys decided to go at it, 1526 01:09:32,280 --> 01:09:34,120 Speaker 1: you needed six or seven other guys who were just 1527 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 1: like him to break it up because regular people couldn't 1528 01:09:37,680 --> 01:09:40,120 Speaker 1: break up those fights. So yeah, you would have gotten 1529 01:09:40,800 --> 01:09:44,120 Speaker 1: if the rosters were were ten guys in the NFL, 1530 01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,400 Speaker 1: there'd have been some deaths with the fight because there 1531 01:09:46,400 --> 01:09:48,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have been enough guys to break those flights up, 1532 01:09:48,560 --> 01:09:51,880 Speaker 1: and they would have would have escalated it. But it's 1533 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:54,360 Speaker 1: getting to that point now where in the NFL everything's changed. 1534 01:09:54,400 --> 01:09:56,760 Speaker 1: Now it's a learning atmosphere and I think I think 1535 01:09:56,800 --> 01:09:58,559 Speaker 1: in some ways the league's better for it. I think 1536 01:09:59,000 --> 01:10:02,280 Speaker 1: when I was watching practice today, the most interesting thing 1537 01:10:02,360 --> 01:10:06,360 Speaker 1: I saw is Brian Dabele, the offensive coordinator. Luckily, one 1538 01:10:06,360 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 1: of the great things I tell people this about training 1539 01:10:08,439 --> 01:10:10,280 Speaker 1: camp all the time. Oh what do you get out 1540 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,519 Speaker 1: of watching training camp? I mean everything? Because today Brian 1541 01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:16,840 Speaker 1: Dable was in the end zone and I was eight 1542 01:10:16,960 --> 01:10:21,840 Speaker 1: feet away from him as he is talking to Peterman, 1543 01:10:22,600 --> 01:10:28,840 Speaker 1: mccaren and Alan, and he's basically changing a play. He goes, hey, listen, hey, listen, 1544 01:10:29,080 --> 01:10:31,000 Speaker 1: we're gonna have Clay do this. He's going to run 1545 01:10:31,040 --> 01:10:33,040 Speaker 1: a soft under route. And he's, you know, in all this, 1546 01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:37,160 Speaker 1: and I just said, and AJ mccaren is saying okay, 1547 01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: and then so he's trying to interpret what he's going 1548 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:43,080 Speaker 1: to do. New Steve, you said the word. This is 1549 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:48,360 Speaker 1: a teaching time. This is not a let's get callouses 1550 01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,679 Speaker 1: on you guys and all that. This is a teaching 1551 01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:56,519 Speaker 1: time and it's tremendously interesting to watch and watching today, 1552 01:10:57,080 --> 01:10:59,040 Speaker 1: I just said to myself, there's other camps I go 1553 01:10:59,200 --> 01:11:02,880 Speaker 1: to that I've been to already, like Cleveland yesterday. They're 1554 01:11:03,040 --> 01:11:07,559 Speaker 1: playing Tyrod Taylor. Period. He is the quarterback on that team. 1555 01:11:07,880 --> 01:11:11,520 Speaker 1: It's not a competition right now. Might be in October, 1556 01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:15,360 Speaker 1: but right now it isn't. This is a competition, right 1557 01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 1: This is made the best man win. Mean, Brandon Bean 1558 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 1: basically said to me, listen, we're not worried about Opening 1559 01:11:22,520 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: Day twenty nineteen, worried about Opening Day twenty and eighteen, 1560 01:11:26,040 --> 01:11:27,639 Speaker 1: and we're going to play the best guy. I Peter, 1561 01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:29,240 Speaker 1: you just have about a minute left. I want to 1562 01:11:29,240 --> 01:11:31,800 Speaker 1: get your impression on Sean McDermott and help me with this. 1563 01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:34,640 Speaker 1: I'll be people will talk to me nationally, ask me 1564 01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 1: about this team and about McDermott. I have trouble articulating this, 1565 01:11:38,200 --> 01:11:40,120 Speaker 1: but I think I don't want to say McDermot it's 1566 01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:42,400 Speaker 1: worth one win, one and a half wins, But he 1567 01:11:42,600 --> 01:11:46,479 Speaker 1: is worth something. I think his approach, his intelligence, and 1568 01:11:46,680 --> 01:11:49,080 Speaker 1: the command he has over this group is worth a lot, 1569 01:11:49,200 --> 01:11:51,599 Speaker 1: maybe more than many coaches that I've seen in this league. 1570 01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,040 Speaker 1: Do you hike up on anything? I told Derek Boko today, 1571 01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:57,040 Speaker 1: you know, the media relations guy who I've known forever. 1572 01:11:58,160 --> 01:12:01,240 Speaker 1: We're watching his press conference and I leaned over to 1573 01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:04,599 Speaker 1: Derek and I said, this is an impressive coach. Yeah, 1574 01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:07,200 Speaker 1: you know, I've thought it since he got the job, 1575 01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:12,439 Speaker 1: but just watching his command, not only how he answers questions, 1576 01:12:12,479 --> 01:12:14,560 Speaker 1: but I've noticed this over the last year or so. 1577 01:12:15,360 --> 01:12:19,360 Speaker 1: You know, first of all, he really really has an 1578 01:12:19,439 --> 01:12:22,160 Speaker 1: idea of what he wants to do. He has an 1579 01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:26,000 Speaker 1: idea of the message he wants to impart. I think 1580 01:12:26,040 --> 01:12:29,240 Speaker 1: it is utterly fantastic. Last year we wrote a story 1581 01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,599 Speaker 1: when I was with the MMQB. Kaylin Kaylor of our 1582 01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:39,400 Speaker 1: staff wrote a story about how Sean McDermott wanted all 1583 01:12:39,479 --> 01:12:41,800 Speaker 1: the guys on the team eventually during the year to 1584 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,080 Speaker 1: stand up and tell everybody, here's my life, here's who 1585 01:12:46,160 --> 01:12:49,400 Speaker 1: I am, and I and so everybody in that room 1586 01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 1: now gets to know the backup outside linebacker, the nickel guy, 1587 01:12:54,600 --> 01:12:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, the swing tackle you know. And I like 1588 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,519 Speaker 1: that because what does that do in this age of 1589 01:13:01,800 --> 01:13:06,240 Speaker 1: transient rosters. It gets you to know, Hey, I have 1590 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:09,680 Speaker 1: this in common with you know, Nico Leary, or I 1591 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,680 Speaker 1: have this in common with Micah Hyde. I didn't know that. 1592 01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:15,160 Speaker 1: I didn't know Mica Hide was from a small town 1593 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 1: in Ohio. I'm from a small town in Indiana or whatever. 1594 01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:21,439 Speaker 1: So so that's the kind of stuff that, in my opinion, 1595 01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:25,560 Speaker 1: Sean McDermott gets it. Yeah, and he was. He's the 1596 01:13:25,760 --> 01:13:31,200 Speaker 1: right person for this job in this town at this time. Peter, 1597 01:13:31,320 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: thank you. I know you gotta run back. You're with 1598 01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:35,720 Speaker 1: NBC Sports and I when Football Morning in America and 1599 01:13:35,800 --> 01:13:37,640 Speaker 1: money you got the Monday column back up again.

Yeah, you know, for at least us rookies, 1618 01:14:32,200 --> 01:14:34,280 Speaker 1: shorts and pads is now or you know, shorts and 1619 01:14:34,320 --> 01:14:36,320 Speaker 1: T shirts has now been something kind of common and 1620 01:14:36,400 --> 01:14:39,799 Speaker 1: something that we've been into through the whole Ota process. 1621 01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 1: So it's it's football, but it's not football football, and 1622 01:14:43,200 --> 01:14:45,320 Speaker 1: so we put on the pads and I think it's 1623 01:14:45,360 --> 01:14:47,760 Speaker 1: really a baptism by fire. What happened the last few days, Yeah, 1624 01:14:47,840 --> 01:14:50,040 Speaker 1: it was. I was talking to some guys that I 1625 01:14:50,200 --> 01:14:52,120 Speaker 1: know we're watching practice, and I though, you know, it's 1626 01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:54,040 Speaker 1: different about the old days. You know, the old days 1627 01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:56,240 Speaker 1: like when I played, and you'd have a bunch of 1628 01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,360 Speaker 1: fights during training camp because you're going two days and 1629 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:00,360 Speaker 1: it was hard, and guys get to and as soon 1630 01:15:00,439 --> 01:15:02,840 Speaker 1: as I said that, we two fights busted out. Yeah. 1631 01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 1: At practice today, I mean, and there are never anything 1632 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,400 Speaker 1: serious and they kind of wash away really quick. But 1633 01:15:07,880 --> 01:15:11,080 Speaker 1: it does say something about how things change when you 1634 01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,479 Speaker 1: can start getting you know, getting really playing football. Yeah, 1635 01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,320 Speaker 1: I mean, it's always a test of physicality, you know, 1636 01:15:16,360 --> 01:15:18,560 Speaker 1: so much of the football through all votas. In the 1637 01:15:18,600 --> 01:15:20,599 Speaker 1: first couple of days, we can prove we know our assignment. 1638 01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:22,599 Speaker 1: We can prove we know our alignment where we're supposed 1639 01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:24,599 Speaker 1: to be. But the next thing you have to prove 1640 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:26,479 Speaker 1: to the coaching staff and in the front office is 1641 01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:28,439 Speaker 1: that your physical player, you can you can do your 1642 01:15:28,520 --> 01:15:31,080 Speaker 1: job and be tough when you do it. And so 1643 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,200 Speaker 1: you know, offense is here, and you know, we need 1644 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:35,080 Speaker 1: you to be tougher a defensive players, we need you 1645 01:15:35,160 --> 01:15:37,000 Speaker 1: to be tougher. So one's trying to be a tough 1646 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,800 Speaker 1: the o'st one fires back and all of a sudden, 1647 01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,599 Speaker 1: pushing shoven and now you're on the ground. That's one 1648 01:15:40,600 --> 01:15:42,360 Speaker 1: of my favorite drills to watch. And I think it's 1649 01:15:42,479 --> 01:15:44,560 Speaker 1: nine on seven. You guys did fairly early on in 1650 01:15:44,600 --> 01:15:46,600 Speaker 1: practice today and there were some big hits and you 1651 01:15:46,680 --> 01:15:48,240 Speaker 1: had to feel pretty good about the way the defense, 1652 01:15:48,320 --> 01:15:50,560 Speaker 1: not just today, but through the first five practices, the 1653 01:15:50,640 --> 01:15:53,560 Speaker 1: defense has held its ground against this offense. Uh. I 1654 01:15:53,640 --> 01:15:55,960 Speaker 1: think the two nine on seven periods we've had we're 1655 01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:59,400 Speaker 1: kind of the some of the best defensive periods we've had. 1656 01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:02,040 Speaker 1: One today, we had one to day and then I 1657 01:16:02,080 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 1: think the first day of pads we had a nine 1658 01:16:03,600 --> 01:16:05,920 Speaker 1: on seventh period um and you know, some of the 1659 01:16:06,200 --> 01:16:08,160 Speaker 1: veterans and coaches are on the same board is as 1660 01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,320 Speaker 1: it's coming in waves, and we need to be constant 1661 01:16:10,600 --> 01:16:13,120 Speaker 1: at the intensity that we played at in that period. 1662 01:16:13,160 --> 01:16:15,160 Speaker 1: We need to continue that through the whole processing and 1663 01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:16,960 Speaker 1: not dip when we hit the red zone or dip 1664 01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:18,840 Speaker 1: when we hit the blitz. Or one on ones. Talk 1665 01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,360 Speaker 1: a little bit about the techniques they're asking you to 1666 01:16:22,439 --> 01:16:25,040 Speaker 1: play something. You're young player and you're sitting there with 1667 01:16:25,120 --> 01:16:27,200 Speaker 1: Kyle and you said it was starlo tu lele. What 1668 01:16:27,360 --> 01:16:30,240 Speaker 1: techniques are they asking you to play? Three technique one technique? 1669 01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:33,320 Speaker 1: Are they kind of letting you h Are they asking 1670 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:34,960 Speaker 1: you to do everything all the way across the front, 1671 01:16:35,040 --> 01:16:38,479 Speaker 1: interior defensive line? Yeah, you know, I feel like they 1672 01:16:38,760 --> 01:16:41,240 Speaker 1: they want me to play both defensive tackle positions. Um, 1673 01:16:41,600 --> 01:16:43,600 Speaker 1: I'm I'm totally fine with that. I'm happy with that. 1674 01:16:43,680 --> 01:16:46,280 Speaker 1: I did that in college. Um, you know, three four, 1675 01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,280 Speaker 1: But when we got in nickel packages, depending on where 1676 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,599 Speaker 1: the tight end would be, I'd played a three tech, 1677 01:16:50,680 --> 01:16:54,439 Speaker 1: a two eye, a shade whatever. Um. And you know, 1678 01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:57,840 Speaker 1: you might call it, you know, versatility, but really it's 1679 01:16:57,880 --> 01:16:59,720 Speaker 1: the same thing. It's just when you're a nose guard, 1680 01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:01,400 Speaker 1: things happened a little quicker and when you're a three 1681 01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:04,519 Speaker 1: technique you need be a little faster. Um. And uh, 1682 01:17:04,840 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 1: you know, I'm happy with the progress that we're going. 1683 01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:10,000 Speaker 1: I'm happy with the rotation that I have where I'm 1684 01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:11,960 Speaker 1: getting some reps with ones at three, I'm getting some 1685 01:17:12,040 --> 01:17:14,439 Speaker 1: reps at twos with three ones with the nose twos 1686 01:17:14,479 --> 01:17:17,080 Speaker 1: with you know, getting as many plays as I can, 1687 01:17:18,200 --> 01:17:20,439 Speaker 1: just because you know so much happens in your first year. 1688 01:17:20,479 --> 01:17:23,360 Speaker 1: You're such a sponge or you can just soak up everything. 1689 01:17:23,520 --> 01:17:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, I'm gonna see, you know, maybe a hundred 1690 01:17:26,360 --> 01:17:28,559 Speaker 1: different blocks this year, and and the more I can 1691 01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:30,640 Speaker 1: just be experienced to those, the more I can they 1692 01:17:30,680 --> 01:17:32,479 Speaker 1: can see how I'm going to react when I get those. 1693 01:17:32,680 --> 01:17:34,719 Speaker 1: You know, you react differently when you're a three technique 1694 01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:36,479 Speaker 1: because you're a little further off the ball and you 1695 01:17:36,600 --> 01:17:38,240 Speaker 1: might have more time to shoot a gap. When you're 1696 01:17:38,240 --> 01:17:39,600 Speaker 1: a nose guard, you don't, so you might have to 1697 01:17:39,640 --> 01:17:42,559 Speaker 1: come across um. And you know, I think just they're 1698 01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:44,320 Speaker 1: probably messing with me as much as I'm you know, 1699 01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,080 Speaker 1: trying to figure out what's going to work best for 1700 01:17:46,160 --> 01:17:47,639 Speaker 1: me in the long term. What do you mean, messing 1701 01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,760 Speaker 1: with you? Like? Testing you? Is what you think? I mean? Yeah, 1702 01:17:49,840 --> 01:17:51,640 Speaker 1: just trying to see, you know, do we like him 1703 01:17:51,680 --> 01:17:53,360 Speaker 1: out of three? How does he react to this? Is 1704 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,160 Speaker 1: he a better run stop in three, a better pass 1705 01:17:55,240 --> 01:17:57,880 Speaker 1: rushing nose, a better pass rushing three? You know, what 1706 01:17:58,240 --> 01:17:59,960 Speaker 1: plays would we want him at different? You know, something 1707 01:18:00,040 --> 01:18:01,400 Speaker 1: like that I mean you you got to test it 1708 01:18:01,439 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 1: out the waters. I mean, they haven't tried me at 1709 01:18:03,680 --> 01:18:06,639 Speaker 1: stand up middle linebacker or anything like that. You're ready 1710 01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:08,280 Speaker 1: for that. You're ready. You're gonna be ready for that, 1711 01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,160 Speaker 1: as long as it's a blitz. Yeah, I don't know. 1712 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:13,800 Speaker 1: Before practice to the coach. McDermot was asked about two 1713 01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,840 Speaker 1: at press conference and he I wrote down the quote. 1714 01:18:15,840 --> 01:18:18,320 Speaker 1: He said, he's adapting well to what essentially is a 1715 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:21,120 Speaker 1: new defense for you. He said, you're the Buffalo defense 1716 01:18:21,240 --> 01:18:23,360 Speaker 1: is different than what you have at Stanford. Huh. Yeah. 1717 01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: I was at three to four m zero technique majority 1718 01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:27,920 Speaker 1: of the time until we got into a nickel call, 1719 01:18:27,960 --> 01:18:30,600 Speaker 1: and then again when we did, it's ten personnel. We 1720 01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,439 Speaker 1: know it's past, so you're not really thinking about the 1721 01:18:32,479 --> 01:18:36,160 Speaker 1: blocking schemes. I was in a three point stance stagger stance, 1722 01:18:36,200 --> 01:18:38,360 Speaker 1: and I was a reading technique, and you know, wherever 1723 01:18:38,439 --> 01:18:41,400 Speaker 1: the center went, I followed, I followed. I played horizontal 1724 01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,479 Speaker 1: across the line of scrimmage. Um. You know, I had 1725 01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 1: over a hundred tackles in college football last year, and 1726 01:18:47,200 --> 01:18:49,200 Speaker 1: probably half of them are you know, at the line 1727 01:18:49,240 --> 01:18:51,880 Speaker 1: of scrimmage or further, you know, gains of one gains 1728 01:18:51,920 --> 01:18:54,160 Speaker 1: and two is stuff because I'm playing horizontal. You know 1729 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:56,360 Speaker 1: why why I have a hundred tackles when you could 1730 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,280 Speaker 1: have thirty and all of them being the backfield or 1731 01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,200 Speaker 1: something like that. So get off. We're in a act 1732 01:19:00,280 --> 01:19:04,439 Speaker 1: defense down we play downhill, um. And so you know, 1733 01:19:04,600 --> 01:19:06,640 Speaker 1: the time off or when I get tired in a 1734 01:19:06,720 --> 01:19:08,560 Speaker 1: period or things like that, I can revert back to 1735 01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:12,280 Speaker 1: old habits, which is you know, normal, especially for rookies. UM. 1736 01:19:12,520 --> 01:19:15,000 Speaker 1: And so you know, continues to stay after practice or 1737 01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,519 Speaker 1: get to before practice and just think about one thing 1738 01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,599 Speaker 1: at a time. I'm analyzing. I think it's gonna be run. 1739 01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,240 Speaker 1: This guy's leaned that me am I gonna get double team. 1740 01:19:21,320 --> 01:19:23,720 Speaker 1: I should just go Yeah. And that's the that's been 1741 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,080 Speaker 1: the biggest adjustment for you because the new defense it's 1742 01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:28,400 Speaker 1: an he used it. It's a not a read and 1743 01:19:28,479 --> 01:19:34,559 Speaker 1: react defense. It's an attack and and react defense. You know, reading, reading, 1744 01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,960 Speaker 1: read and cover or whatever. But he says it's an 1745 01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:40,080 Speaker 1: attack and react defense. And that's something different for you 1746 01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:41,960 Speaker 1: in college. And that's been the biggest adjustment for you. 1747 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,200 Speaker 1: And it's it's about penetration. Yep. It's the biggest adjustment 1748 01:19:45,240 --> 01:19:48,120 Speaker 1: for me. And you know sometimes it's it stinks. Um, 1749 01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:51,240 Speaker 1: if you can anticipate a block, you're gonna get. But still, no, 1750 01:19:51,360 --> 01:19:53,720 Speaker 1: you just gotta fire upfield. So you know, maybe this 1751 01:19:53,800 --> 01:19:55,559 Speaker 1: guy's gonna go this way. So oh, I think he's 1752 01:19:55,600 --> 01:19:57,840 Speaker 1: gonna go there, I'm gonna step that way. No, step 1753 01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,280 Speaker 1: forward and make sure you know, don't don't guess wrong. 1754 01:20:00,360 --> 01:20:02,479 Speaker 1: And as long as you create a new line of scrimmage, 1755 01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:04,920 Speaker 1: you're fast enough to chase things down. And it's again 1756 01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:07,879 Speaker 1: just kind of learning my abilities as well as trusting 1757 01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:10,360 Speaker 1: myself that I am fast enough to you know, maybe 1758 01:20:10,560 --> 01:20:12,360 Speaker 1: step forward and go down and still make a play. 1759 01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:15,160 Speaker 1: Things like that. Right with Harrison Phillips, Buffalo's third round 1760 01:20:15,200 --> 01:20:19,040 Speaker 1: draft pick who comes from Stanford defensive lineman. Since the 1761 01:20:19,120 --> 01:20:21,880 Speaker 1: day you were drafted, since that Friday night in April, 1762 01:20:22,360 --> 01:20:24,960 Speaker 1: you were compared to Kyle Williams already on the Bills. 1763 01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:26,680 Speaker 1: Now that you've been around Kyle and ot as a 1764 01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 1: mini camp and almost a week's worth of training camp, 1765 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:30,519 Speaker 1: what do you think people saw. Why do you think 1766 01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:33,439 Speaker 1: they draw that comparison? Um, I think it's just got 1767 01:20:33,520 --> 01:20:37,720 Speaker 1: to be mainly off of appearance. Okay, that's it. We 1768 01:20:37,840 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 1: look a lot like we look a lot alike. Um, 1769 01:20:40,439 --> 01:20:47,479 Speaker 1: you know, got the you know that's it. Yeah, you 1770 01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,479 Speaker 1: don't play like Kyler. I mean you've seen him now 1771 01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,320 Speaker 1: you watch him and yeah, uh I I hope to 1772 01:20:52,400 --> 01:20:56,680 Speaker 1: one day play like Kyle. You know, he's a remarkable athlete. Uh. 1773 01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:00,560 Speaker 1: You know, his savviness to be thirteen years in the 1774 01:21:00,680 --> 01:21:02,960 Speaker 1: NFL and make it to five Pro Bowls and his 1775 01:21:03,479 --> 01:21:07,639 Speaker 1: long resume of things. Um, it's it's unbelievable. Um, there's 1776 01:21:07,960 --> 01:21:10,400 Speaker 1: a multitude of baby steps that I need to make 1777 01:21:10,400 --> 01:21:12,920 Speaker 1: in order to try to even get to that level. 1778 01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,479 Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's a tough comparison for me when 1779 01:21:15,520 --> 01:21:17,280 Speaker 1: they you know, they're saying, oh, yeah, you play like him. 1780 01:21:17,360 --> 01:21:19,200 Speaker 1: How do I play like a thirteen year pro bowler 1781 01:21:19,240 --> 01:21:21,000 Speaker 1: when I haven't playing a snap in the NFL. Talk 1782 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:22,640 Speaker 1: a little bit about what you've had to learn in 1783 01:21:22,680 --> 01:21:24,719 Speaker 1: the pass rush. I mean, you had pass rush today 1784 01:21:24,760 --> 01:21:26,720 Speaker 1: one on ones we were watching and I don't know, 1785 01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,799 Speaker 1: you said, you know, you did some of that at Stamford, 1786 01:21:29,840 --> 01:21:32,759 Speaker 1: no question about it. But now it's it's different against 1787 01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:35,559 Speaker 1: into your offensive line in the NFL and stuff. At 1788 01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:36,840 Speaker 1: what are you What are some of the things that 1789 01:21:36,880 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 1: you're learning about yourself in the pass rush at this level. Um, 1790 01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:42,320 Speaker 1: you know, stick with what you you're good at. You know, 1791 01:21:42,439 --> 01:21:44,560 Speaker 1: you name some of the best pass rushers, you know 1792 01:21:44,640 --> 01:21:47,160 Speaker 1: their move um, and so I think that that's something 1793 01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:50,240 Speaker 1: that's UM, you know, I need to rely on. It's like, hey, 1794 01:21:50,280 --> 01:21:52,960 Speaker 1: if they can't beat X move, keep doing X move. 1795 01:21:53,120 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 1: And also, um, so much a pass rush isn't one guy, 1796 01:21:57,840 --> 01:22:00,599 Speaker 1: it's it's working as as a four summer three. Whoever, however, 1797 01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,200 Speaker 1: many people are coming and uh, when you got guys 1798 01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,200 Speaker 1: like Jerry and and and Trent Um and Eddie those 1799 01:22:07,240 --> 01:22:09,560 Speaker 1: type of guys coming off the edge. Uh, if I 1800 01:22:09,600 --> 01:22:11,759 Speaker 1: can just push the pocket, they're gonna push the quarterback 1801 01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:13,680 Speaker 1: to me, or I'm gonna push the quarterback to them 1802 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 1: and so um. So much of it works like that. 1803 01:22:16,040 --> 01:22:18,439 Speaker 1: And as long as you're getting penetration and not letting 1804 01:22:18,479 --> 01:22:21,360 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks escape. You know, if we're facing a guy 1805 01:22:21,400 --> 01:22:23,320 Speaker 1: who likes to come up to the a gaps or 1806 01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,280 Speaker 1: you know, uh panthers like to roll out and get 1807 01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,040 Speaker 1: out like that, you know, just make sure you keep 1808 01:22:28,080 --> 01:22:30,759 Speaker 1: your quarterback and contains. And again it's still just attacking forward. 1809 01:22:30,840 --> 01:22:32,400 Speaker 1: I was watching some of that one on one word 1810 01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:34,559 Speaker 1: today and one snap, I saw you go up against 1811 01:22:34,600 --> 01:22:38,320 Speaker 1: Ryan Groy, big three hunder pound long offensive lineman, and 1812 01:22:38,520 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 1: I thought, that's a tough that's a tough job for 1813 01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:41,840 Speaker 1: Harrison to go up against the guy who's been around 1814 01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:44,320 Speaker 1: a little bit like Ryan Groy. Huh uh yeah, I 1815 01:22:44,439 --> 01:22:46,360 Speaker 1: think that. You know, there's a lot of good offensive 1816 01:22:46,400 --> 01:22:49,000 Speaker 1: lineman and um, it's been a blessing to be able 1817 01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:52,040 Speaker 1: to get into the rotation with the ones, um to 1818 01:22:52,479 --> 01:22:53,920 Speaker 1: see some of those guys and go through one on 1819 01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,200 Speaker 1: ones Uh, having you know, chances to do that, and uh, 1820 01:22:57,520 --> 01:22:59,040 Speaker 1: every rep you just kind of want to if you 1821 01:22:59,080 --> 01:23:00,439 Speaker 1: if you could do it over again and you do 1822 01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:02,679 Speaker 1: something different kind of but you know, a have a plan, 1823 01:23:02,840 --> 01:23:05,760 Speaker 1: have one move, one counter, and so you know, you 1824 01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:08,679 Speaker 1: just just keep moving forward. And again, you don't rush alone. 1825 01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:11,600 Speaker 1: A lot of things people don't realize. They see a 1826 01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:13,920 Speaker 1: practice and they know you guys are kind of sequestered 1827 01:23:14,120 --> 01:23:16,840 Speaker 1: over here, Saint John Fisher. But you guys spend a 1828 01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,160 Speaker 1: ton of time actually repro You're gonna spend more time 1829 01:23:19,200 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 1: in a classroom in a meeting setting, watching film with 1830 01:23:21,200 --> 01:23:22,800 Speaker 1: these guys that you do anything else, talk talk a 1831 01:23:22,840 --> 01:23:24,959 Speaker 1: little bit about how that's gone and the early the OTAs, 1832 01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:26,600 Speaker 1: the mini camps and now at training camp when you 1833 01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,760 Speaker 1: get a you know, you they film every practice, You 1834 01:23:29,880 --> 01:23:33,000 Speaker 1: film every rep individual and team. Talk a little bit 1835 01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,120 Speaker 1: about what you've learned from guys like starlotu Lele, Trent Murphy, 1836 01:23:36,320 --> 01:23:39,519 Speaker 1: Kyle Williams, all these older veterans who you know, they 1837 01:23:39,600 --> 01:23:41,800 Speaker 1: spend their a lot of time watching film. What can 1838 01:23:41,840 --> 01:23:44,240 Speaker 1: you learn from them? Yeah, I think that, you know, 1839 01:23:44,320 --> 01:23:48,080 Speaker 1: it's been pretty hard to break down and kind of 1840 01:23:48,240 --> 01:23:50,880 Speaker 1: get tendencies for the Bills. Who's the one team that 1841 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 1: we don't play this year is the Buffalo Bills. And 1842 01:23:53,920 --> 01:23:56,720 Speaker 1: so fortunately we're seeing a ton of great looks. We're 1843 01:23:56,720 --> 01:23:59,320 Speaker 1: seeing zone schemes, gaff schemes, tons of different things from 1844 01:23:59,320 --> 01:24:02,680 Speaker 1: different quarterback they like different plays, reads, rides, passes, all 1845 01:24:02,720 --> 01:24:07,200 Speaker 1: this stuff. But yeah, you know, I'm I'm super anxious 1846 01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:09,920 Speaker 1: to get to the chance we're breaking down one team 1847 01:24:10,040 --> 01:24:12,080 Speaker 1: and we can you know, share all the information we 1848 01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,280 Speaker 1: know about somebody who's played this team, you know, twenty 1849 01:24:14,400 --> 01:24:17,400 Speaker 1: times in their career. But yeah, so much of the 1850 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:19,839 Speaker 1: answers to the test are given to you before it happens. 1851 01:24:19,880 --> 01:24:24,280 Speaker 1: If you know twelve personnel, this running backs in the backfield. 1852 01:24:24,840 --> 01:24:27,519 Speaker 1: This tackle's foot is up, this guard's hands not down. 1853 01:24:27,960 --> 01:24:30,880 Speaker 1: All those small things that you can accumulate from years 1854 01:24:30,920 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 1: and years of watching film and knowing just knowing football, 1855 01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:37,800 Speaker 1: football one on one. So the more I can hear 1856 01:24:37,840 --> 01:24:40,599 Speaker 1: about those things and different even though in the defense, 1857 01:24:40,680 --> 01:24:43,920 Speaker 1: if I hear the call, I can think, oh, this 1858 01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:46,439 Speaker 1: is a man pressure, So that means I, you know, 1859 01:24:46,479 --> 01:24:48,759 Speaker 1: we're in man coverage. I really can't let the quarterback 1860 01:24:48,880 --> 01:24:51,360 Speaker 1: escape because everybody's backs turned to the quarterback. If he 1861 01:24:51,439 --> 01:24:54,320 Speaker 1: gets out, he runs. You know, Knowing more football allows 1862 01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,080 Speaker 1: you to be a way better football player. Harrison, you 1863 01:24:56,160 --> 01:24:57,720 Speaker 1: got most of the month of May, a couple of 1864 01:24:57,760 --> 01:24:59,599 Speaker 1: weeks into June, and then of course this last week 1865 01:24:59,640 --> 01:25:01,600 Speaker 1: to be around Buffalo in western New York. I know 1866 01:25:01,680 --> 01:25:04,040 Speaker 1: how involved you were in your community back home in 1867 01:25:04,080 --> 01:25:06,040 Speaker 1: Nebraska and even out in Stanford. What do you think 1868 01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:07,560 Speaker 1: of Buffalo so far? What do you think of the 1869 01:25:07,920 --> 01:25:12,040 Speaker 1: atmosphere around the Bills. I think it's it's been extremely welcoming, 1870 01:25:12,960 --> 01:25:15,719 Speaker 1: very more a little more slow paced, way more my speed, 1871 01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,120 Speaker 1: um more slow paced in Stanford, NORDCA. Yeah, yeah, yeah, 1872 01:25:19,120 --> 01:25:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, Silicon Valley San Francisco area. This is more 1873 01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,880 Speaker 1: like Nebraska to me. Um, you know, wake up, go 1874 01:25:25,040 --> 01:25:28,200 Speaker 1: Outside's beautiful day out. You know, at least in the 1875 01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,320 Speaker 1: summer it's beautiful. But you know, the fans have been 1876 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,600 Speaker 1: great too, whether we're going out and going out to 1877 01:25:34,640 --> 01:25:37,200 Speaker 1: eat or getting groceries or a movie, somebody stopping you 1878 01:25:37,360 --> 01:25:38,760 Speaker 1: and say, hey, man, we're rooting for you. We were 1879 01:25:38,800 --> 01:25:41,200 Speaker 1: so happy when we got you. Things like that. Um, 1880 01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 1: it really just makes it makes you smile. It makes 1881 01:25:44,080 --> 01:25:46,080 Speaker 1: you feel very very humbled to think that somebody can 1882 01:25:46,120 --> 01:25:48,680 Speaker 1: think so highly of you. Um, and you know that 1883 01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:51,519 Speaker 1: that they you know, they're passionate about your passion.

I love the way he answered 1926 01:27:43,920 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 1: my question about the comparisons to Kyle Williams. Um it 1927 01:27:47,520 --> 01:27:50,880 Speaker 1: was it was passionate. He said, look, I get it. 1928 01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:52,840 Speaker 1: I guess we look a little bit alike. But he said, 1929 01:27:53,439 --> 01:27:54,960 Speaker 1: and this is the part I love when he said, 1930 01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:57,760 Speaker 1: I'm I'm Kyli. He was a thirteen year pros been 1931 01:27:57,800 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 1: to five Pro Bowls. I'm nowhere near that. I think 1932 01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:01,720 Speaker 1: he'ven taking a snap. Yeah. I thought that was a 1933 01:28:01,800 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 1: perfect answer.

It's the nuts 2041 01:33:37,160 --> 01:33:39,000 Speaker 1: and bolts of it to the hard part, you know, 2042 01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:40,920 Speaker 1: get Sometimes you're on the air, you kind of feel 2043 01:33:41,080 --> 01:33:44,160 Speaker 1: you're kind of practiced, you feel comfortable, but getting ready 2044 01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:46,360 Speaker 1: and how to fit in it.

Because 2096 01:36:02,240 --> 01:36:05,920 Speaker 1: we always ask in production meetings what percentage of coaches? 2097 01:36:05,960 --> 01:36:07,800 Speaker 1: Now I think it's growing that say listen, can I 2098 01:36:07,920 --> 01:36:09,559 Speaker 1: talk to you for like two seconds, even if it's 2099 01:36:09,600 --> 01:36:12,200 Speaker 1: off camera for like at half Oh you you think it? 2100 01:36:13,080 --> 01:36:16,280 Speaker 1: It's great? Yeah, I would say the only coach I mean, 2101 01:36:16,400 --> 01:36:19,000 Speaker 1: and I don't mean Sam. I mean there's probably I 2102 01:36:19,120 --> 01:36:22,000 Speaker 1: know that Andy Reid has a specific rule about it's 2103 01:36:22,040 --> 01:36:24,760 Speaker 1: a leader tie. I mean there's specific coaches leader tie 2104 01:36:24,880 --> 01:36:27,000 Speaker 1: they're going in or coming out. I kind of have 2105 01:36:27,120 --> 01:36:29,840 Speaker 1: to manage because they're not contractually obligated to do it. 2106 01:36:29,960 --> 01:36:32,240 Speaker 1: I appreciate when they do it. But and I think 2107 01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:33,800 Speaker 1: you had I may have talked to you about this. 2108 01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:36,320 Speaker 1: I've also said too, if if you don't want to 2109 01:36:36,360 --> 01:36:38,920 Speaker 1: do it, then let's not do it, because I don't 2110 01:36:38,960 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 1: want to be put in a situation where you and 2111 01:36:41,320 --> 01:36:42,680 Speaker 1: I are going to have to But if you do 2112 01:36:42,720 --> 01:36:44,040 Speaker 1: want to do it, we can do it off camera 2113 01:36:44,240 --> 01:36:46,080 Speaker 1: of course. And all I need is just and really 2114 01:36:46,120 --> 01:36:48,559 Speaker 1: all the all you need is like three sentences, That's 2115 01:36:48,680 --> 01:36:51,280 Speaker 1: all you need. It's what are your I mean anything. 2116 01:36:51,479 --> 01:36:54,400 Speaker 1: It took me about four or five games before Belichick 2117 01:36:54,439 --> 01:36:56,120 Speaker 1: would say all right, yeah, I'll do it. I'll don't 2118 01:36:56,160 --> 01:36:57,960 Speaker 1: go it out, and he did it. It took a while. 2119 01:36:57,960 --> 01:36:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, it was working with Phil Sims too, so Phil, 2120 01:37:00,040 --> 01:37:02,640 Speaker 1: you know, filling him or like this, So even then 2121 01:37:02,720 --> 01:37:04,400 Speaker 1: it took him a while. But then after that he 2122 01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:06,439 Speaker 1: was cool with it. Yeah, I mean, i've I've I've 2123 01:37:06,520 --> 01:37:08,880 Speaker 1: gotten to the I mean, I consider myself lucky and 2124 01:37:08,920 --> 01:37:11,559 Speaker 1: this could all change. But but Bill and your coach 2125 01:37:11,640 --> 01:37:14,080 Speaker 1: has been very right to me. And and I think 2126 01:37:14,360 --> 01:37:15,599 Speaker 1: some of it has to do with you not being 2127 01:37:15,600 --> 01:37:17,760 Speaker 1: a player. Yeah, maybe just maybe that's a you know 2128 01:37:17,800 --> 01:37:20,439 Speaker 1: what I mean, I don't you know, they always suspect you, 2129 01:37:21,479 --> 01:37:23,160 Speaker 1: either one of you sideline guys ever want to take 2130 01:37:23,160 --> 01:37:25,960 Speaker 1: your crackhead Greg Popovitch in the NBA interviewing. You know 2131 01:37:26,040 --> 01:37:27,640 Speaker 1: what I'd love to do with Greg or with the 2132 01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,280 Speaker 1: interview like that is just totally catch him off guard 2133 01:37:30,360 --> 01:37:32,240 Speaker 1: with like, yeah, I know he's a wine guy, like 2134 01:37:32,280 --> 01:37:35,600 Speaker 1: what's the best bottle of wine? It just like completely 2135 01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:39,519 Speaker 1: out of the Yeah, yeah, you're right, it'd be fun 2136 01:37:39,600 --> 01:37:41,040 Speaker 1: to do that, you know what I mean. And you'd 2137 01:37:41,080 --> 01:37:43,760 Speaker 1: almost have to clear it with your bosses beforehand, or 2138 01:37:43,800 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 1: it's like, right, I'm gonna try it. You gottah, Yeah, 2139 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:47,760 Speaker 1: you gotta hands up somebody on that way. You don't 2140 01:37:47,760 --> 01:37:49,840 Speaker 1: want to just because, but he would be because if 2141 01:37:49,920 --> 01:37:52,080 Speaker 1: he's gonna take it that way and make it a 2142 01:37:52,200 --> 01:37:55,400 Speaker 1: complete mockery, then you should too. Absolutely. I mean because 2143 01:37:55,439 --> 01:37:56,960 Speaker 1: I mean I haven't done an NBA game, but I've 2144 01:37:57,000 --> 01:37:59,080 Speaker 1: heard that some of the folks that they don't want 2145 01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,200 Speaker 1: to do it, but they're obligate, they're contractually be because 2146 01:38:02,200 --> 01:38:04,479 Speaker 1: I think it's sponsored, right, And well, that's the thing too, 2147 01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:08,280 Speaker 1: and that if if they're willing to do it and 2148 01:38:08,600 --> 01:38:11,519 Speaker 1: they're okay and pop popa vision, you can tell the 2149 01:38:11,600 --> 01:38:15,880 Speaker 1: kind of guy they are. Yeah, they're perfectly comfortable in 2150 01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:17,720 Speaker 1: their own skin, the exactly having fun with it. Yeah, 2151 01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:19,920 Speaker 1: it would be fun. Andy when Washburn is with us 2152 01:38:19,960 --> 01:38:23,679 Speaker 1: from CBS Sidelin reporter reporter analysts for CBS Sports, CBS Sports, 2153 01:38:24,080 --> 01:38:26,400 Speaker 1: uh dot Com, CBA Sports Network here covering the Bills 2154 01:38:26,439 --> 01:38:29,160 Speaker 1: and training camp. Coming from Pittsburgh. You said, yep, you 2155 01:38:29,200 --> 01:38:32,240 Speaker 1: saw Ben Roethlisberger here. Some people like to compare to 2156 01:38:32,280 --> 01:38:34,280 Speaker 1: Josh Allen to Ben Roethlisberger, I think that'd be a 2157 01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:38,400 Speaker 1: good thing if you're a little too soon for this ceiling, right, Yeah, 2158 01:38:38,439 --> 01:38:41,400 Speaker 1: it is the ceiling. I mean the physical comparison. I 2159 01:38:41,439 --> 01:38:43,840 Speaker 1: could see that. I see some Joe Flacco in it too, 2160 01:38:43,920 --> 01:38:47,639 Speaker 1: and I think there's there's comparables in their their journey. Look, 2161 01:38:47,680 --> 01:38:49,679 Speaker 1: Ben cam from a small school as well, and maybe 2162 01:38:49,720 --> 01:38:52,760 Speaker 1: it wasn't as heralded, but I think Joe was as 2163 01:38:52,920 --> 01:38:56,440 Speaker 1: raw as as Josh is right now as a prospect, 2164 01:38:56,560 --> 01:39:00,360 Speaker 1: and I think Joe benefited from something. I mean, people 2165 01:39:00,400 --> 01:39:02,479 Speaker 1: forget this, but Flacco wasn't even supposed to start. I 2166 01:39:02,560 --> 01:39:06,960 Speaker 1: mean Troy Smith got tonsillitis or something. So I think 2167 01:39:07,040 --> 01:39:10,880 Speaker 1: that if that could be a possible sort of measuring neither. Listen, 2168 01:39:10,960 --> 01:39:13,439 Speaker 1: Ben Rothisberger wasn't supposed to start either. That's right, started 2169 01:39:13,479 --> 01:39:15,800 Speaker 1: Tommy Managery and Tommy Maddox goes down all of a sudden. 2170 01:39:15,800 --> 01:39:18,360 Speaker 1: He wins his first fifteen games as the best start 2171 01:39:18,439 --> 01:39:20,639 Speaker 1: to a career of any rookie quarterback of all time. 2172 01:39:21,360 --> 01:39:23,719 Speaker 1: But he wasn't even supposed to be on the field exactly. 2173 01:39:23,960 --> 01:39:26,360 Speaker 1: And I think, I mean, it seems like we're shifting 2174 01:39:26,400 --> 01:39:29,479 Speaker 1: in two different directions with it. You got to get 2175 01:39:29,520 --> 01:39:33,120 Speaker 1: these guys on immediately, might as well allow him And then, yeah, 2176 01:39:33,680 --> 01:39:36,639 Speaker 1: what does an incubated quarterback look like? Do you incubate 2177 01:39:36,720 --> 01:39:38,400 Speaker 1: him and put him away from everything like an egg, 2178 01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,160 Speaker 1: just let him, let him keep him warm, and just 2179 01:39:41,680 --> 01:39:44,880 Speaker 1: treat him like or do you crack it open and 2180 01:39:44,960 --> 01:39:48,600 Speaker 1: say let's go either either either cluck or fry. I 2181 01:39:48,680 --> 01:39:52,160 Speaker 1: think that more are you ready or not you're an 2182 01:39:52,200 --> 01:39:55,479 Speaker 1: ability to throw it into a tight window or understand that? 2183 01:39:56,000 --> 01:39:58,000 Speaker 1: To me is where where as a coach you have 2184 01:39:58,240 --> 01:40:01,320 Speaker 1: to have a strong belief and what it is you 2185 01:40:01,439 --> 01:40:03,840 Speaker 1: have in terms of the mental toughness of a guy 2186 01:40:04,080 --> 01:40:07,320 Speaker 1: or his ability to handle things early because you're gonna 2187 01:40:07,400 --> 01:40:10,880 Speaker 1: you're gonna struggle whether you're the most polished passer in 2188 01:40:11,320 --> 01:40:14,240 Speaker 1: college or a guy who was sub sixty percent in 2189 01:40:14,280 --> 01:40:17,160 Speaker 1: the Mountain West. It's more to me about what's going 2190 01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,800 Speaker 1: on upstairs, because you just don't want to get rattled. 2191 01:40:19,960 --> 01:40:24,040 Speaker 1: And I talked to Josh after practice and the word 2192 01:40:24,080 --> 01:40:26,280 Speaker 1: he uses, you just don't want to tall snowball on you, 2193 01:40:26,400 --> 01:40:29,160 Speaker 1: And I thought that that was apropos to what can 2194 01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:32,400 Speaker 1: happen to guys if they're thrown in the Peterman. His 2195 01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:34,400 Speaker 1: teammate can give you an idea of what's and that 2196 01:40:34,479 --> 01:40:37,400 Speaker 1: took one half. It's snowballed against him in a single half. 2197 01:40:37,439 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit. He just came from Pittsburgh, 2198 01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:42,479 Speaker 1: that's an established coaching staff. They got an elite quarterback 2199 01:40:42,560 --> 01:40:44,880 Speaker 1: who's who has won a couple of Super Bowls and 2200 01:40:45,040 --> 01:40:48,040 Speaker 1: is incumbent, not going anywhere. He come to Buffalo. It 2201 01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,280 Speaker 1: compared and contrast the two vibes of these two camps, 2202 01:40:50,360 --> 01:40:52,719 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh and Buffalo. I wrote something down in my notebook. 2203 01:40:53,439 --> 01:40:56,840 Speaker 1: Energy was what struck me about today's work out. I'm 2204 01:40:56,840 --> 01:40:58,280 Speaker 1: not here every day, you guys are, but I was 2205 01:40:58,320 --> 01:41:01,200 Speaker 1: struck by the pace in which practice goes. Maybe it's 2206 01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,280 Speaker 1: just the simple logistics too, where they've got to have 2207 01:41:03,360 --> 01:41:06,640 Speaker 1: guys running from field to field, but it creates this 2208 01:41:06,920 --> 01:41:10,320 Speaker 1: this engine field to practice. The Bills was much shorter, 2209 01:41:10,960 --> 01:41:13,479 Speaker 1: but I would say, I don't want to say more efficient, 2210 01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:17,599 Speaker 1: but again, it felt like they got everything in The Steelers. 2211 01:41:17,680 --> 01:41:21,040 Speaker 1: Practice is as physical and as taxing and grueling as 2212 01:41:21,120 --> 01:41:25,439 Speaker 1: I've seen because they tackle off into the ground. They 2213 01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:27,240 Speaker 1: do a lot of live periods, a lot of goal 2214 01:41:27,320 --> 01:41:30,439 Speaker 1: line and it's long. It's about two and a half hours. 2215 01:41:31,240 --> 01:41:36,040 Speaker 1: Obviously it's headlined and highlighted by Ben and ab Antonio. 2216 01:41:36,080 --> 01:41:38,320 Speaker 1: Brown will make a play guarantee you can go there 2217 01:41:38,400 --> 01:41:41,920 Speaker 1: for one day and you'll see him do something special. Um. 2218 01:41:45,479 --> 01:41:47,720 Speaker 1: All right, we've done it. We've done it. Um. But 2219 01:41:48,560 --> 01:41:51,160 Speaker 1: that that to me was probably the biggest comparing and 2220 01:41:51,240 --> 01:41:54,519 Speaker 1: contrasting it. Ben doesn't, at least yesterday didn't take a 2221 01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:57,680 Speaker 1: ton of reps. I mean, he's clearly managing himself through 2222 01:41:57,760 --> 01:42:00,400 Speaker 1: this early portion of camp. We're with the having washed 2223 01:42:00,479 --> 01:42:03,240 Speaker 1: rohim from CBS telling your impressions of the bills today, 2224 01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,160 Speaker 1: and I'm wondering what you think of the way you 2225 01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:09,240 Speaker 1: mentioned about the pacer practice. What about Brian Dable and 2226 01:42:09,640 --> 01:42:11,400 Speaker 1: what's sort of an offense we don't know quite what 2227 01:42:11,479 --> 01:42:14,160 Speaker 1: to expect from from Brian. Yeah, I don't know the schematic. 2228 01:42:14,439 --> 01:42:16,200 Speaker 1: I was asking a couple of guys about is it 2229 01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:18,920 Speaker 1: one that is overly complex that's going to take a 2230 01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:21,360 Speaker 1: guy like Josh Allen or even AJ McCarron who's new 2231 01:42:21,360 --> 01:42:24,360 Speaker 1: to it and Nathan Peterman a lot of time to understand, 2232 01:42:24,479 --> 01:42:27,320 Speaker 1: or is it just you're an offense that's challenging and 2233 01:42:27,439 --> 01:42:30,120 Speaker 1: has all its um ups and downs to it I 2234 01:42:30,320 --> 01:42:32,840 Speaker 1: was struck by the intensity he seemed to have during 2235 01:42:32,960 --> 01:42:36,760 Speaker 1: especially that red zone periods Dable and but I was 2236 01:42:36,800 --> 01:42:39,439 Speaker 1: struck also by on the flip side, the work of 2237 01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:41,240 Speaker 1: the secondary and a lot of those periods. I mean 2238 01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:43,960 Speaker 1: that one interception that I think was Jordan Poyer had 2239 01:42:44,320 --> 01:42:45,720 Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone with the one 2240 01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:50,840 Speaker 1: handed I mean I think he and Wow, I think 2241 01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,120 Speaker 1: Micah Hyde Poyer. Um, I'm a big fan of Tredavious. 2242 01:42:54,160 --> 01:42:57,360 Speaker 1: What I like that gruff bush An interception. There you go, 2243 01:42:57,520 --> 01:43:00,400 Speaker 1: and White the knockdown he did early on him practice. 2244 01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:02,840 Speaker 1: We talked about it earlier on the show. Passing tennif 2245 01:43:02,840 --> 01:43:05,760 Speaker 1: for Kelvin Benjuin just to knockdown by tradevious was amazing. Yeah, 2246 01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,920 Speaker 1: I mean I would imagine too, with with with the 2247 01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:10,439 Speaker 1: growing pains that are going to come with whoever's under 2248 01:43:10,479 --> 01:43:13,160 Speaker 1: center and running this offense, that group, to me is 2249 01:43:13,200 --> 01:43:16,800 Speaker 1: going to be as important as anybody, um through these 2250 01:43:16,880 --> 01:43:19,200 Speaker 1: first four weeks of the season. And yet, Evan, no 2251 01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,479 Speaker 1: one builds a team around a secondary, really do they know? 2252 01:43:21,640 --> 01:43:25,760 Speaker 1: They don't. But going back to where we kind of 2253 01:43:25,760 --> 01:43:28,439 Speaker 1: started with the quarterback discussion, whether it was probably Beam, 2254 01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,640 Speaker 1: I don't remember what he had defensively, but I know 2255 01:43:30,720 --> 01:43:33,080 Speaker 1: because I was in Baltimore at the time what Joe 2256 01:43:33,160 --> 01:43:35,200 Speaker 1: had to. I mean, if you're gonna let one of 2257 01:43:35,240 --> 01:43:39,639 Speaker 1: these young guys go early and run things, the only 2258 01:43:39,680 --> 01:43:42,000 Speaker 1: way that you can try and stay above water is 2259 01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:45,760 Speaker 1: if your defense is coming close to pitching shot out bad. 2260 01:43:46,120 --> 01:43:50,280 Speaker 1: I mean he had it was. It was them in 2261 01:43:50,320 --> 01:43:52,840 Speaker 1: there and kind of their zenith. Yeah, So talk a 2262 01:43:52,880 --> 01:43:54,920 Speaker 1: little bit about what you see trends around the league, 2263 01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,240 Speaker 1: because you watch you stand on the sidelines, and we've 2264 01:43:57,280 --> 01:43:59,840 Speaker 1: seen trends coming. A few years ago, it looked like 2265 01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:03,599 Speaker 1: running backs were an afterthought for most rosters and stuff. 2266 01:44:03,680 --> 01:44:05,760 Speaker 1: Now you got sa Quon Barkley being taken second. We 2267 01:44:05,880 --> 01:44:10,080 Speaker 1: got Leshaun McCoy here, Levion Bell who's just hit a 2268 01:44:10,120 --> 01:44:12,880 Speaker 1: home run, deal, Todd Gurley, who's so they is that 2269 01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:15,479 Speaker 1: pendulum starting to swing back? I mean you think about 2270 01:44:15,479 --> 01:44:16,960 Speaker 1: but then you can make the argument. I mean, I 2271 01:44:16,960 --> 01:44:18,640 Speaker 1: remember having the Bears last year and you got like 2272 01:44:18,760 --> 01:44:20,640 Speaker 1: a guy like Terrick Cohen who comes out. I mean, 2273 01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:24,519 Speaker 1: I still think that you can get value late that 2274 01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:27,479 Speaker 1: can maybe not bring you exactly what you're getting in 2275 01:44:27,560 --> 01:44:32,000 Speaker 1: a Todd Gurley and Ezekiel Elliott and say Quon, but 2276 01:44:32,240 --> 01:44:35,120 Speaker 1: I still think you have to be sure if you're 2277 01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:37,160 Speaker 1: gonna do it that high. I mean, the other trend 2278 01:44:37,560 --> 01:44:40,280 Speaker 1: to me that you're seeing is is I mentioned it 2279 01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:42,320 Speaker 1: when we're talking about the broadcasting thing, but just the 2280 01:44:42,439 --> 01:44:45,800 Speaker 1: quick it looks more like college football at times to me, 2281 01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,840 Speaker 1: spread then it fast paced. I mean there's not as 2282 01:44:48,960 --> 01:44:51,280 Speaker 1: much downfield. I mean, we could have a long conversation 2283 01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:54,400 Speaker 1: about what I think could at times affect the ratings. 2284 01:44:54,760 --> 01:44:57,640 Speaker 1: I thought that at times football could became a bit 2285 01:44:57,760 --> 01:45:01,000 Speaker 1: challenging because we weren't getting those games that were the 2286 01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:04,120 Speaker 1: chuck it down the field game. I remember the Raiders 2287 01:45:04,240 --> 01:45:06,320 Speaker 1: kind of had it for a little while when Derek 2288 01:45:06,439 --> 01:45:08,760 Speaker 1: was healthy. But I feel like that's a trend that 2289 01:45:08,840 --> 01:45:10,920 Speaker 1: I hope kind of shifts back. Maybe because so many 2290 01:45:11,240 --> 01:45:14,000 Speaker 1: important players, quarterbacks like Aaron Rodgers were hurt, we didn't 2291 01:45:14,040 --> 01:45:16,920 Speaker 1: see that as much last year. Well, they're also drafting 2292 01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:19,920 Speaker 1: guys like Baker Mayfield, who through you know, half of 2293 01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,639 Speaker 1: his passes were five yards exactly zadderin to make a point, 2294 01:45:23,680 --> 01:45:26,639 Speaker 1: but a large percent of his passes were quick screens, 2295 01:45:27,200 --> 01:45:30,439 Speaker 1: screen passes, you know quick, you know, stuff out of 2296 01:45:30,479 --> 01:45:32,679 Speaker 1: the shot and if if you're gonna And I remember 2297 01:45:32,800 --> 01:45:35,200 Speaker 1: sitting down with Bill O'Brien last year when they were 2298 01:45:35,600 --> 01:45:38,519 Speaker 1: integrating to Shaun Watson into the offense. And he's a 2299 01:45:38,600 --> 01:45:41,080 Speaker 1: guy who worked with Tom Brady obviously and likes the 2300 01:45:41,200 --> 01:45:44,720 Speaker 1: downfield game, likes complex offense, and he said they had 2301 01:45:44,800 --> 01:45:48,439 Speaker 1: to basically go watch what Russell Wilson did his rookie year. 2302 01:45:48,479 --> 01:45:51,000 Speaker 1: Go watch to Sean obviously at Clemson and cater and 2303 01:45:51,120 --> 01:45:54,040 Speaker 1: offense to him that included a lot of zone read, 2304 01:45:54,439 --> 01:45:56,920 Speaker 1: a lot of the quick passing game. Obviously, it worked 2305 01:45:56,960 --> 01:46:01,040 Speaker 1: until he got injured. But still I miss when guys 2306 01:46:01,120 --> 01:46:03,559 Speaker 1: are ready to cut it loose with them and Washburn 2307 01:46:03,640 --> 01:46:07,240 Speaker 1: reporter analysts for CBS Sports, I'm worried about this. And 2308 01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,240 Speaker 1: mcderman mentioned today the officials come to town tomorrow night. 2309 01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:12,920 Speaker 1: I believe they'll meet with the players, meet a little 2310 01:46:12,960 --> 01:46:17,760 Speaker 1: bit more on Thursday. Right tomorrow's Wednesday. When you read 2311 01:46:17,800 --> 01:46:19,360 Speaker 1: the reports of what went out in Philly with the 2312 01:46:19,439 --> 01:46:22,160 Speaker 1: explanation of the helmet rule, and they're more confused, I'm 2313 01:46:22,200 --> 01:46:24,320 Speaker 1: worried that's going to be a standard operating procedure. I 2314 01:46:24,439 --> 01:46:26,600 Speaker 1: think I think it is, and I'll be honest, I 2315 01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:30,000 Speaker 1: didn't sense that this was going to be what it 2316 01:46:30,320 --> 01:46:33,280 Speaker 1: feels like, a boiling problem. I've made the point a 2317 01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:35,519 Speaker 1: number of times that I think it's gonna happen. It's 2318 01:46:35,560 --> 01:46:37,519 Speaker 1: really going to come to a head week one or two. 2319 01:46:38,040 --> 01:46:42,400 Speaker 1: When something happens a players disciplined, it affects the result 2320 01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:44,840 Speaker 1: of a game, and then this is going to become 2321 01:46:44,880 --> 01:46:48,479 Speaker 1: a major storyline in the early portion of the season. 2322 01:46:48,960 --> 01:46:50,800 Speaker 1: And now I've been thinking back. I remember when they 2323 01:46:50,840 --> 01:46:53,720 Speaker 1: instituted the targeting rule in college. I was still doing 2324 01:46:53,800 --> 01:46:57,000 Speaker 1: college games and we had our seminar at CBS and 2325 01:46:57,600 --> 01:46:59,920 Speaker 1: they were showing we had an official, They're showing his clip, 2326 01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,080 Speaker 1: and I kind of had what I think the feeling 2327 01:47:02,400 --> 01:47:04,760 Speaker 1: some of these Eagles players had where and you've been 2328 01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:06,800 Speaker 1: in it. We've done it for the NFL seminar where 2329 01:47:06,880 --> 01:47:09,400 Speaker 1: they'll show you clips and they say, Okay, this is 2330 01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,920 Speaker 1: a clear cut whatever it may be at this case 2331 01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:14,639 Speaker 1: targeting and you go and you look to your person 2332 01:47:14,720 --> 01:47:16,519 Speaker 1: next year, did you see that? I mean I did 2333 01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:20,000 Speaker 1: see it. There's so much gray area and nuance that 2334 01:47:20,120 --> 01:47:23,439 Speaker 1: it I really feel like it's it's another powder keg 2335 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,519 Speaker 1: that's ready to burst open. It the only thing is 2336 01:47:26,600 --> 01:47:28,960 Speaker 1: And I say this. I said this to the Pat 2337 01:47:29,040 --> 01:47:31,280 Speaker 1: Kerwin Hurt in the show as well. The players and 2338 01:47:31,360 --> 01:47:33,880 Speaker 1: coaches really don't mind what rules they make as long 2339 01:47:33,960 --> 01:47:38,640 Speaker 1: as there's consistency in the application and the calling of them. 2340 01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:40,599 Speaker 1: And I said that the danger is, like you said, 2341 01:47:40,880 --> 01:47:42,599 Speaker 1: you're gonna get into a big game or a big 2342 01:47:42,960 --> 01:47:45,200 Speaker 1: Markee game, like a Monday night game or a playoff game, 2343 01:47:45,880 --> 01:47:48,599 Speaker 1: and it's there's gonna be a call that stands out 2344 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:50,479 Speaker 1: either they're gonna make the call, even if it's the 2345 01:47:50,600 --> 01:47:53,200 Speaker 1: right call, it'll be the first time in a crucial 2346 01:47:53,320 --> 01:47:56,240 Speaker 1: moment where they make that new call and a player 2347 01:47:56,320 --> 01:47:58,919 Speaker 1: like Ed Reid comes off the field for the Baltimore 2348 01:47:58,960 --> 01:48:00,720 Speaker 1: Ravens or a Hall of Fame time player comes off, 2349 01:48:00,760 --> 01:48:03,120 Speaker 1: and then it's gonna be that's when that's gonna be. 2350 01:48:03,360 --> 01:48:06,519 Speaker 1: It's almost like they've taken what the Ketch Rule provided 2351 01:48:06,560 --> 01:48:10,200 Speaker 1: in terms of ambiguity and now have inserted this they 2352 01:48:10,320 --> 01:48:13,280 Speaker 1: could kind of replace, Let's give us a new controversy. 2353 01:48:13,320 --> 01:48:15,680 Speaker 1: And I'm not convinced that the ambiguity is out of 2354 01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:17,800 Speaker 1: the Ketch rule either, based on the changes they may 2355 01:48:18,400 --> 01:48:21,760 Speaker 1: I doubt it. I mean, there's and I'll be honest too. 2356 01:48:21,840 --> 01:48:24,400 Speaker 1: I need now that this is clearly if the players 2357 01:48:24,439 --> 01:48:27,040 Speaker 1: are starting to discuss it. I didn't give it enough 2358 01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:30,960 Speaker 1: credence when the new legislation and rules came through. I 2359 01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:33,160 Speaker 1: just thought I'll figure it out once the season gets going. 2360 01:48:33,240 --> 01:48:36,040 Speaker 1: But now it seems to be a storyline that's happening 2361 01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:38,160 Speaker 1: in week two a training camps, which means it can 2362 01:48:38,240 --> 01:48:41,280 Speaker 1: only grow as we head into preseason action and then 2363 01:48:41,320 --> 01:48:43,120 Speaker 1: game acts. One of the things that happens and a 2364 01:48:43,160 --> 01:48:46,240 Speaker 1: lot of people don't realize this every year during this time, 2365 01:48:46,280 --> 01:48:48,559 Speaker 1: the officials spread out and they go to every training 2366 01:48:48,600 --> 01:48:51,320 Speaker 1: camp and they've got and Sean McDermott mentioned today they're 2367 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:53,799 Speaker 1: gonna have videos, they're gonna have actual on field officials 2368 01:48:53,880 --> 01:48:56,120 Speaker 1: in the meeting room with the team and they're gonna 2369 01:48:56,200 --> 01:48:58,880 Speaker 1: walk through this. And you mentioned a little bit with Philadelphia. 2370 01:48:58,880 --> 01:49:03,320 Speaker 1: They came out of there like going what usually usually 2371 01:49:03,400 --> 01:49:05,040 Speaker 1: you come out with a little bit more clarity, and 2372 01:49:05,080 --> 01:49:07,680 Speaker 1: that's what Sean McDermott today said. He's we're looking for 2373 01:49:07,720 --> 01:49:10,840 Speaker 1: a little more clarity in the rule this year. You know, 2374 01:49:10,960 --> 01:49:14,320 Speaker 1: they've got some it's the rules that they're going to 2375 01:49:14,360 --> 01:49:15,600 Speaker 1: talk about it. And you used to say points of 2376 01:49:15,680 --> 01:49:21,920 Speaker 1: inphasis and all this. They're significant contracts on every play, Yeah, 2377 01:49:22,000 --> 01:49:26,320 Speaker 1: on every play. Discipline could affect whether a team goes 2378 01:49:26,400 --> 01:49:29,880 Speaker 1: after a rookie signing bonus. So now agents are having 2379 01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:31,960 Speaker 1: to go in and that's why you're seeing a holdout 2380 01:49:32,160 --> 01:49:35,360 Speaker 1: possibly with Rocan Smith, the top pick for the Bears, 2381 01:49:35,720 --> 01:49:38,880 Speaker 1: because they want to have that that that written in 2382 01:49:38,960 --> 01:49:41,479 Speaker 1: the contract that they can't attack the signing bonus if 2383 01:49:41,520 --> 01:49:44,880 Speaker 1: a players disciplined multiple times for one of these helmets, 2384 01:49:44,960 --> 01:49:47,960 Speaker 1: helmet hits, right, which is a whole other layer, right, 2385 01:49:48,000 --> 01:49:50,800 Speaker 1: which of it's complicated. And I get that if you 2386 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:53,080 Speaker 1: got the money, and that's that's has nothing to do 2387 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:54,600 Speaker 1: with the football thing. It has to been doing with 2388 01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:58,040 Speaker 1: being drafted and being on the team. Yeah, you can't 2389 01:49:58,360 --> 01:49:59,800 Speaker 1: go back and get that. You got to take it 2390 01:49:59,840 --> 01:50:03,360 Speaker 1: out the salary that he's getting, which is substantially less 2391 01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:06,360 Speaker 1: than what it is for some of these guys. But 2392 01:50:06,479 --> 01:50:08,639 Speaker 1: I mean, you know the landscape in the AFC East, 2393 01:50:08,680 --> 01:50:10,680 Speaker 1: you know the you're on your way to Patriots camp soon. 2394 01:50:11,360 --> 01:50:13,719 Speaker 1: The Patriots, you know, are the colossus of the division, 2395 01:50:13,800 --> 01:50:17,920 Speaker 1: standing astride everybody else. What's the best season look like 2396 01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:20,680 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills? Realistically, this year, I think it's 2397 01:50:20,720 --> 01:50:22,840 Speaker 1: similar to what you had last year. I mean, and 2398 01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,120 Speaker 1: and you guys know this better than I do. But 2399 01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,040 Speaker 1: I've Steve and I talked about this during practice today. 2400 01:50:29,160 --> 01:50:32,240 Speaker 1: Where rarely do you see a first year head coach, 2401 01:50:32,520 --> 01:50:36,120 Speaker 1: a new GM, a team go nine and seven et 2402 01:50:36,160 --> 01:50:39,519 Speaker 1: clear way into the playoffs and then recognize we might 2403 01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:42,120 Speaker 1: not be as good as that books on paper, and 2404 01:50:42,200 --> 01:50:45,960 Speaker 1: then make the necessary changes to build long term. And 2405 01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:48,960 Speaker 1: I think that takes a lot of guts. I think 2406 01:50:49,000 --> 01:50:51,800 Speaker 1: the word Steve used that I've I've stolen his discipline. 2407 01:50:51,800 --> 01:50:54,360 Speaker 1: I think that that really describes it well. So long, 2408 01:50:54,600 --> 01:50:57,200 Speaker 1: long winded answer to your question. I think that if 2409 01:50:57,240 --> 01:51:00,680 Speaker 1: they achieve the goal where they got last year, with 2410 01:51:01,160 --> 01:51:03,800 Speaker 1: what are obviously changes they wanted to make to this roster, 2411 01:51:03,960 --> 01:51:05,880 Speaker 1: than that to me would be a win. Yeah. We 2412 01:51:05,960 --> 01:51:08,120 Speaker 1: actually a week ago, right you had, we had this 2413 01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:12,040 Speaker 1: topic of discussion. Is this year more difficult for Sean 2414 01:51:12,160 --> 01:51:14,120 Speaker 1: McDermott than last? I think I think it is a 2415 01:51:14,200 --> 01:51:17,960 Speaker 1: lot of ways. It is. It is because the pressure 2416 01:51:18,040 --> 01:51:20,920 Speaker 1: is now on them. They they they've proven that they've 2417 01:51:20,960 --> 01:51:22,720 Speaker 1: got this plan that got more out of a roster 2418 01:51:22,800 --> 01:51:25,519 Speaker 1: that was less talented last year. Um, so now that 2419 01:51:25,560 --> 01:51:28,000 Speaker 1: they've added this, how are you gonna how are you 2420 01:51:28,040 --> 01:51:31,280 Speaker 1: gonna justify going out and say, winning seven games or 2421 01:51:31,360 --> 01:51:34,639 Speaker 1: six games with a roster that really has more talent 2422 01:51:34,720 --> 01:51:36,439 Speaker 1: than you did a year ago, at least on paper. 2423 01:51:36,479 --> 01:51:39,600 Speaker 1: And that's just so okay, Well that's a and now 2424 01:51:39,640 --> 01:51:42,240 Speaker 1: I'm asked the quick So this roster, in your mind 2425 01:51:42,400 --> 01:51:45,519 Speaker 1: is more talented that because I just see the holes 2426 01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:48,840 Speaker 1: or what they lost an offensive line Tyrod, while he 2427 01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:52,760 Speaker 1: had his obvious limitations, at least in the moment right now, 2428 01:51:52,840 --> 01:51:55,840 Speaker 1: I think he probably is the most capable star starter. Yeah, 2429 01:51:55,880 --> 01:51:58,760 Speaker 1: and then I guess those would be your your problem. 2430 01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,679 Speaker 1: Last year, at this time, they traded away Ron Darby 2431 01:52:02,880 --> 01:52:07,920 Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins um the linebacker to Kansas City. Uh yeah, 2432 01:52:08,640 --> 01:52:14,639 Speaker 1: second round. Oh yeah, we all lost him. Uh, traded 2433 01:52:14,680 --> 01:52:17,200 Speaker 1: him away. Then midway through the season they traded Marcel 2434 01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:19,880 Speaker 1: Darius Um and then they got back guys that were 2435 01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:23,040 Speaker 1: question marks like Jordan Matthews EJ. Gaines, who actually turned 2436 01:52:23,040 --> 01:52:24,679 Speaker 1: out to be a very good player for the Bills, 2437 01:52:24,960 --> 01:52:27,000 Speaker 1: but they were unknowns and they traded for him at 2438 01:52:27,000 --> 01:52:29,120 Speaker 1: the end of training camp. So in a roster that 2439 01:52:29,360 --> 01:52:32,080 Speaker 1: all of a sudden had had. They traded away some 2440 01:52:32,120 --> 01:52:35,120 Speaker 1: pretty markey players high draft picks over the last handful 2441 01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:39,200 Speaker 1: of years, and you know, replaced him with guys you know, okay, 2442 01:52:39,479 --> 01:52:41,680 Speaker 1: you know, and then went out in this culture that 2443 01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:44,639 Speaker 1: they had, and you know, they stole some games early 2444 01:52:44,720 --> 01:52:47,680 Speaker 1: on and got into the playoffs. Like you said, um, 2445 01:52:49,040 --> 01:52:54,400 Speaker 1: I thought they got better by subtraction last year and 2446 01:52:55,120 --> 01:52:57,800 Speaker 1: that this year they're not going to have that excuse. No. 2447 01:52:58,160 --> 01:53:01,400 Speaker 1: And but again where we started with this is I'm 2448 01:53:01,479 --> 01:53:05,440 Speaker 1: in pressed because I even just as in comparison Baltimore 2449 01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:08,320 Speaker 1: where I live, I see that team up close and 2450 01:53:08,400 --> 01:53:11,400 Speaker 1: personal a lot. I thought that they looked at what 2451 01:53:11,520 --> 01:53:13,679 Speaker 1: they did last year, they didn't even make the playoffs, 2452 01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:16,519 Speaker 1: and thought we're close. And I would say that you 2453 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,120 Speaker 1: weren't close at all. You played a lot of backup quarterbacks, 2454 01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:22,880 Speaker 1: they didn't make maybe some changes that could have um 2455 01:53:23,360 --> 01:53:26,439 Speaker 1: forecasted things better for the future. They decided to sort 2456 01:53:26,479 --> 01:53:29,360 Speaker 1: of rerack it, if you will, and try and attack 2457 01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,840 Speaker 1: it with what they had last year. And I think that, 2458 01:53:32,040 --> 01:53:35,400 Speaker 1: to me is more common than what has been shown 2459 01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:37,960 Speaker 1: by Brandon, by Sean and by this this front office, 2460 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,800 Speaker 1: this organization to say, you know, we'll be realistic about 2461 01:53:40,840 --> 01:53:42,759 Speaker 1: what we did last year. Really interesting. We got Baltimore 2462 01:53:42,800 --> 01:53:44,840 Speaker 1: Week one. We're going to Baltimore week one. It'll be 2463 01:53:45,080 --> 01:53:49,000 Speaker 1: it'll be a fascinating they actually, I think did get 2464 01:53:49,040 --> 01:53:51,080 Speaker 1: a little bit better with some of that. I've been 2465 01:53:51,160 --> 01:53:53,080 Speaker 1: more I was out of there. I've been watching their 2466 01:53:53,120 --> 01:53:56,560 Speaker 1: training camp some and uh, they got better offensively. I 2467 01:53:56,600 --> 01:54:00,960 Speaker 1: mean Michael Crabtree, he's he's a good play He's he's 2468 01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,519 Speaker 1: a wide receiver that that Joe hasn't had probably since 2469 01:54:03,560 --> 01:54:06,160 Speaker 1: Hamm cum Bold.

X factor as a person with 2496 01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:27,360 Speaker 1: strong but unpredictable influence. So who are you not thinking of? 2497 01:55:27,400 --> 01:55:29,839 Speaker 1: Who are people not thinking of? We're gonna have an influence, 2498 01:55:30,040 --> 01:55:33,400 Speaker 1: strong and unpredictable influence on the Bill season on Twitter. 2499 01:55:33,720 --> 01:55:35,680 Speaker 1: On the Twitter poll, it's very close, which Steve will 2500 01:55:35,720 --> 01:55:38,360 Speaker 1: tell you means it's a good poll. Thirty percent leading 2501 01:55:38,440 --> 01:55:41,280 Speaker 1: the poll is others, so somebody we didn't name. Twenty 2502 01:55:41,360 --> 01:55:43,360 Speaker 1: seven percent of you choose Charles Clay that would be 2503 01:55:43,480 --> 01:55:46,560 Speaker 1: my choice. Twenty three percent of you choose Vonte Davis, 2504 01:55:46,960 --> 01:55:50,800 Speaker 1: twenty percent choose Zay Jones. Over a thousand votes already, 2505 01:55:50,840 --> 01:55:53,720 Speaker 1: what do you think who's the Bills X Factor player 2506 01:55:53,800 --> 01:55:56,440 Speaker 1: this year? The fact that it's so close means it's 2507 01:55:56,440 --> 01:55:59,480 Speaker 1: a good poll. Steve, Yeah, and it is a good poll. 2508 01:55:59,680 --> 01:56:01,880 Speaker 1: And it's it's fun to think about too, because it 2509 01:56:02,040 --> 01:56:04,760 Speaker 1: puts you in the mind set of the positive. You know, 2510 01:56:05,400 --> 01:56:07,320 Speaker 1: it puts you in the mindset of, Okay, who's really 2511 01:56:07,360 --> 01:56:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna you know, who do I see being the guy 2512 01:56:11,040 --> 01:56:15,000 Speaker 1: that is something that nobody else sees. That's the fun 2513 01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,920 Speaker 1: part of it. And it also kind of catches your fanship. 2514 01:56:18,040 --> 01:56:19,680 Speaker 1: I like the way it gets you thinking down the 2515 01:56:19,760 --> 01:56:21,760 Speaker 1: roster a little bit too. Yeah, it's just picking a 2516 01:56:21,840 --> 01:56:24,520 Speaker 1: quarterback or picking Kelvin Benjamin. You gotta go a little 2517 01:56:24,520 --> 01:56:26,560 Speaker 1: bit down the roster a little bit. And let's face it, 2518 01:56:26,680 --> 01:56:29,040 Speaker 1: that's what we do every day here and and our listeners, 2519 01:56:29,120 --> 01:56:31,360 Speaker 1: and we've had conversations about just about every player on 2520 01:56:31,400 --> 01:56:34,080 Speaker 1: the roster at some point, and and to go down 2521 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,920 Speaker 1: that roster and remember what they bring and what they 2522 01:56:37,240 --> 01:56:39,560 Speaker 1: and on both sides of the football, offense and defense, 2523 01:56:39,640 --> 01:56:42,000 Speaker 1: and and uh, you know, he kind of gets you 2524 01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:44,800 Speaker 1: away from the Jordan Poyers and the Micah Hides and 2525 01:56:44,840 --> 01:56:48,200 Speaker 1: the Tredavious Whites of the world, and away from the 2526 01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:51,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks and the Lashawn McCoy. Uh, and it puts you 2527 01:56:51,560 --> 01:56:54,160 Speaker 1: in the realm of who else is there? And that's 2528 01:56:54,240 --> 01:56:56,560 Speaker 1: that's pretty who not thinking? Yeah, who am I missing? Yeah, 2529 01:56:56,880 --> 01:56:59,360 Speaker 1: some calls on this topic X factor player? Who will 2530 01:56:59,400 --> 01:57:02,080 Speaker 1: it be? Jonathan and Alden is on the air of this, Jonathan, 2531 01:57:02,160 --> 01:57:06,080 Speaker 1: thanks for waiting. You're on the air, John. Then I 2532 01:57:06,160 --> 01:57:08,720 Speaker 1: want to say, I think the X fact is gonna 2533 01:57:08,720 --> 01:57:10,520 Speaker 1: be Zay Jones. I think a lot of Bills fans 2534 01:57:10,640 --> 01:57:13,600 Speaker 1: was sleeping on him because he was very disappointed this year. 2535 01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:15,720 Speaker 1: But I know he's suffering from a lot of injuries. 2536 01:57:15,800 --> 01:57:18,080 Speaker 1: I think I think if he's healthy and um with 2537 01:57:18,240 --> 01:57:19,880 Speaker 1: new he don't able to do quarterbacks, I think he 2538 01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:22,000 Speaker 1: could get healthy. I think he could be the X 2539 01:57:22,080 --> 01:57:23,480 Speaker 1: factor the Bills. And he I think he's I think 2540 01:57:23,520 --> 01:57:26,720 Speaker 1: a lot of Bill set was sleeping on him. Yeah 2541 01:57:26,800 --> 01:57:29,000 Speaker 1: that's a good and it's and it could very well 2542 01:57:29,080 --> 01:57:31,000 Speaker 1: work out that way. But the simple fact of the 2543 01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:33,400 Speaker 1: matter is, I think there's a lot of doubts about 2544 01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:35,800 Speaker 1: Zay Jones. Not only did he disappoint a little bit 2545 01:57:35,920 --> 01:57:37,840 Speaker 1: last year, but he's had their off season. It was rough, 2546 01:57:37,880 --> 01:57:39,560 Speaker 1: and then he came back and just when you think, okay, 2547 01:57:39,640 --> 01:57:42,160 Speaker 1: let's see what he can do. We'll get Zay Jones 2548 01:57:42,240 --> 01:57:45,800 Speaker 1: back in the fold after the incident in the off season, 2549 01:57:45,840 --> 01:57:47,320 Speaker 1: and we'll see what he can do, how he's improved, 2550 01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:50,400 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden, he's hurt and now 2551 01:57:50,480 --> 01:57:53,400 Speaker 1: he's off the field again for a football reason, for 2552 01:57:53,480 --> 01:57:55,840 Speaker 1: an injury, and that's you know, so there's one more 2553 01:57:55,960 --> 01:57:59,360 Speaker 1: thing that piles on the doubts about Zay Jones. I 2554 01:57:59,400 --> 01:58:01,680 Speaker 1: think that's one of the things that you know, you've 2555 01:58:01,680 --> 01:58:03,440 Speaker 1: got to consider him a dark horse. Otherwise, he was 2556 01:58:03,520 --> 01:58:06,360 Speaker 1: the starting receiver last year. Why wouldn't he be a contributor, 2557 01:58:06,440 --> 01:58:09,640 Speaker 1: And yet here we are talking about as maybe being 2558 01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:12,440 Speaker 1: a dark horse contributor. So it's, uh, that is an 2559 01:58:12,520 --> 01:58:15,320 Speaker 1: interesting take, and that's it's it's one we we thought 2560 01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:17,640 Speaker 1: a lot about on the on the list. I'm listen. 2561 01:58:17,640 --> 01:58:19,920 Speaker 1: I haven't given up on z Jones. It's frustrating because 2562 01:58:19,920 --> 01:58:21,840 Speaker 1: you want to see, you know how much the Bills 2563 01:58:21,880 --> 01:58:24,840 Speaker 1: need him. Um, you know how much. You know how 2564 01:58:26,160 --> 01:58:28,440 Speaker 1: troubling it was to see his offseason, the injuries and 2565 01:58:28,520 --> 01:58:32,080 Speaker 1: the incident out in Los Angeles, and still the Bills 2566 01:58:32,160 --> 01:58:35,800 Speaker 1: need him even after that, after that incident, after the injury. 2567 01:58:35,840 --> 01:58:38,520 Speaker 1: And so for that reason, I would put him as 2568 01:58:38,520 --> 01:58:41,040 Speaker 1: an X factor guy. If he's healthy, and if he 2569 01:58:41,120 --> 01:58:43,120 Speaker 1: plays the way many of us thought he might based 2570 01:58:43,200 --> 01:58:45,440 Speaker 1: on his h the way he played college football, he 2571 01:58:45,480 --> 01:58:48,400 Speaker 1: could be an important part of this h The puzzler here, Steve, 2572 01:58:48,440 --> 01:58:50,760 Speaker 1: I mean, he was a very productive college football wide receiver. 2573 01:58:51,040 --> 01:58:52,440 Speaker 1: Why would he not be able to do it here? 2574 01:58:52,560 --> 01:58:56,840 Speaker 1: That's it's still puzzling, Yeah, exactly, And and it's we 2575 01:58:56,960 --> 01:58:58,800 Speaker 1: have to wait and see until we get him. He 2576 01:58:58,840 --> 01:59:01,640 Speaker 1: gets on the field, starts to you know, give us 2577 01:59:01,680 --> 01:59:05,840 Speaker 1: something to that affects our doubts about him and or 2578 01:59:06,160 --> 01:59:07,920 Speaker 1: you know, gives us an idea about how much he 2579 01:59:08,040 --> 01:59:11,600 Speaker 1: can or has improved. And uh so it's he could 2580 01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:14,240 Speaker 1: be he could absolutely be the X factor. I'll tell 2581 01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:16,680 Speaker 1: you this too, you do know about Zay Jones, Murph, 2582 01:59:17,480 --> 01:59:20,160 Speaker 1: He's gonna get a chance because he's he's the number 2583 01:59:20,160 --> 01:59:22,160 Speaker 1: two wide out at this point, even though he's not 2584 01:59:22,280 --> 01:59:24,400 Speaker 1: on the field, he's gonna get plugged in there when 2585 01:59:24,400 --> 01:59:27,160 Speaker 1: he comes back, and he's gonna get every opportunity to 2586 01:59:27,240 --> 01:59:29,160 Speaker 1: get to take to retain the number two spot for 2587 01:59:29,200 --> 01:59:32,320 Speaker 1: the Bill. So up or down, thumbs up or thumbs down. 2588 01:59:32,320 --> 01:59:34,880 Speaker 1: However his season goes, we're gonna find out as soon 2589 01:59:34,920 --> 01:59:37,640 Speaker 1: as he's healthy. Phone call here from David and lockboard. David, 2590 01:59:37,680 --> 01:59:40,200 Speaker 1: thanks for winning, go ahead, you'reround the air with us. Yeah, 2591 01:59:40,440 --> 01:59:49,720 Speaker 1: Jordan Coyer Hello, why why why? Um? Well, yeah, great 2592 01:59:49,800 --> 01:59:57,000 Speaker 1: games last year, most tackles, most picks and yet two 2593 01:59:57,080 --> 02:00:08,080 Speaker 1: sacks too and h the first two games. You yeah, yeah, 2594 02:00:08,840 --> 02:00:11,200 Speaker 1: but you're right. So I love Jordan Poyer. I think 2595 02:00:11,240 --> 02:00:14,200 Speaker 1: he would have qualified as a X factor player a 2596 02:00:14,360 --> 02:00:17,680 Speaker 1: year ago because you didn't see that from him before that. 2597 02:00:18,080 --> 02:00:21,200 Speaker 1: But to say he's unpredictable, look, I'm expecting almost more 2598 02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,160 Speaker 1: of the same from Poyer and from Micah Hyde, his 2599 02:00:23,240 --> 02:00:26,160 Speaker 1: partner back. There's strong playback there. I don't think that qualifies. 2600 02:00:26,200 --> 02:00:27,640 Speaker 1: I don't know if I can keep Yeah, you can't. 2601 02:00:27,720 --> 02:00:30,800 Speaker 1: It's hard to because the Bills secondary may have been 2602 02:00:30,840 --> 02:00:32,600 Speaker 1: as good as any in the league last year. So 2603 02:00:32,720 --> 02:00:35,520 Speaker 1: to say they're going to be the X factor, shoot 2604 02:00:35,520 --> 02:00:38,520 Speaker 1: there the engine. Yeah, you know, we're just talking to Evan. 2605 02:00:38,560 --> 02:00:40,120 Speaker 1: Can you build a team around how good they are 2606 02:00:40,160 --> 02:00:42,160 Speaker 1: in the back end? I I don't know that you can, 2607 02:00:42,320 --> 02:00:44,760 Speaker 1: but they're certainly pretty solid back there, and now even 2608 02:00:44,800 --> 02:00:47,000 Speaker 1: with death players. Raphael Bush had a great day out 2609 02:00:47,040 --> 02:00:50,160 Speaker 1: here today, a former New Orleans Saint defensive back safety 2610 02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:52,840 Speaker 1: and an interception in the end zone. Um, you know, 2611 02:00:52,920 --> 02:00:55,760 Speaker 1: the battle is on for nickel corner. There's a lot 2612 02:00:55,840 --> 02:00:58,000 Speaker 1: of talent back on the back end of the Buffalo defense. Yeah, 2613 02:00:58,040 --> 02:00:59,720 Speaker 1: the back end of the defense is I mean, I 2614 02:00:59,760 --> 02:01:02,680 Speaker 1: don't they're the They're the rod that hangs in your closet. 2615 02:01:02,720 --> 02:01:04,880 Speaker 1: That's what you hang everything on right there. I mean, 2616 02:01:05,280 --> 02:01:08,280 Speaker 1: they're not gonna show up. It's not a closet anymore. 2617 02:01:08,320 --> 02:01:11,200 Speaker 1: It's a vacant room, you know. So I mean that 2618 02:01:11,600 --> 02:01:15,640 Speaker 1: the secondary for the Bills, I'm you gotta I almost 2619 02:01:15,640 --> 02:01:17,440 Speaker 1: take them off the board for being the X factor 2620 02:01:17,480 --> 02:01:20,600 Speaker 1: because they're they're absolutely you gotta think that's what you're 2621 02:01:20,640 --> 02:01:23,320 Speaker 1: depending on. If you're a Bills fan that that defense 2622 02:01:23,440 --> 02:01:26,320 Speaker 1: is gonna They're gonna reap some benefits from an upgraded 2623 02:01:27,120 --> 02:01:30,120 Speaker 1: front seven, no question about it. But that secondary is 2624 02:01:30,200 --> 02:01:32,760 Speaker 1: as solid as any in the National Football League, particularly 2625 02:01:32,800 --> 02:01:36,160 Speaker 1: with the addition of Vante Davis. Now, no question, he's 2626 02:01:36,200 --> 02:01:38,160 Speaker 1: got some questions he wants to he's got to answer. 2627 02:01:38,240 --> 02:01:40,320 Speaker 1: He's been injured the last couple of years, hasn't been 2628 02:01:40,360 --> 02:01:42,000 Speaker 1: on the field as much as he would like. And 2629 02:01:42,200 --> 02:01:45,880 Speaker 1: he's he's experienced, We'll put it that way. He's long 2630 02:01:45,920 --> 02:01:47,760 Speaker 1: in the tooth. We'll see if he can put together 2631 02:01:47,840 --> 02:01:51,400 Speaker 1: sixteen games. But if he can, that secondary is gonna 2632 02:01:51,440 --> 02:01:55,200 Speaker 1: be a force, I think, and the battle to watchback 2633 02:01:55,240 --> 02:01:57,560 Speaker 1: there is for the nickel corner. Sean mcdermoy talking about 2634 02:01:57,560 --> 02:01:59,960 Speaker 1: it today. They're looking at the fourth round draft pick 2635 02:02:00,080 --> 02:02:03,520 Speaker 1: Karen Johnson and Philip Gaines, an unrestricted free agent who 2636 02:02:03,520 --> 02:02:06,560 Speaker 1: assigned during free agency. McDermot addressed it today, talked about 2637 02:02:06,600 --> 02:02:09,320 Speaker 1: that slot cornerback battle and just how important that is 2638 02:02:09,440 --> 02:02:13,600 Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills on defense. That's an important position 2639 02:02:14,040 --> 02:02:17,800 Speaker 1: um for us because of what goes on in the 2640 02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:20,960 Speaker 1: slot matchup wise, It's kind of a game within the 2641 02:02:21,040 --> 02:02:23,880 Speaker 1: game type of position. If you will. And both of 2642 02:02:23,920 --> 02:02:26,360 Speaker 1: those two are off to a good start. You know, 2643 02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:29,040 Speaker 1: Philip has been around a few few years with Kansas 2644 02:02:29,080 --> 02:02:32,760 Speaker 1: City there and played for played with with a good defense, 2645 02:02:32,840 --> 02:02:35,640 Speaker 1: and then uh Tarn, just being young, he's come in 2646 02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:40,560 Speaker 1: and really upped his game since you know, since the spring, 2647 02:02:41,080 --> 02:02:42,960 Speaker 1: um and and not that he didn't get off to 2648 02:02:43,000 --> 02:02:45,080 Speaker 1: a good start, he did, but then been impressed with 2649 02:02:45,160 --> 02:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the way he's come in and handled the system and 2650 02:02:49,120 --> 02:02:50,760 Speaker 1: what we do and how we do things. And then 2651 02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:53,160 Speaker 1: he's playing fast and physical, which is good to see. 2652 02:02:54,600 --> 02:02:57,400 Speaker 1: Ye if you want to pick a potential X factor guy, 2653 02:02:57,480 --> 02:02:59,880 Speaker 1: pick one of those two rather than Jordan Poyer, right, 2654 02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:04,240 Speaker 1: Aaron john And he went on to you know, kind 2655 02:03:04,240 --> 02:03:05,720 Speaker 1: of give a little bit of thumbnail on each of 2656 02:03:05,760 --> 02:03:07,920 Speaker 1: them gains. As you said, he was experienced, played in 2657 02:03:07,920 --> 02:03:10,000 Speaker 1: a good defense last year and and it's one of 2658 02:03:10,040 --> 02:03:13,720 Speaker 1: those guys that, um, you know, um, when the lights 2659 02:03:13,760 --> 02:03:15,560 Speaker 1: come on, he's going to be show up like a professional. 2660 02:03:15,600 --> 02:03:20,640 Speaker 1: And then he said, Tarn, uh Tarn Johnson gained and 2661 02:03:20,840 --> 02:03:24,760 Speaker 1: improved really fast, and he's fast and very physical, which 2662 02:03:24,880 --> 02:03:26,320 Speaker 1: as a slot corner, I mean he's got all the 2663 02:03:26,360 --> 02:03:28,320 Speaker 1: physical tools, which is exactly what they were looking for. 2664 02:03:28,400 --> 02:03:30,520 Speaker 1: That's why they drafted this guy. They want him on 2665 02:03:30,600 --> 02:03:32,680 Speaker 1: the field. They liked his physical tools that he brought 2666 02:03:32,720 --> 02:03:34,240 Speaker 1: to the table, and to put him at the nickel 2667 02:03:34,720 --> 02:03:37,280 Speaker 1: um that says a lot. He's got the physical ability 2668 02:03:37,400 --> 02:03:40,360 Speaker 1: to be a dominant player in there, and that's why 2669 02:03:40,520 --> 02:03:42,880 Speaker 1: you know he's getting plugged into this nickel corner and 2670 02:03:43,120 --> 02:03:45,440 Speaker 1: is in a in a competition. So both those spots 2671 02:03:45,960 --> 02:03:48,480 Speaker 1: are trying, they're they're trying to find which guy's going 2672 02:03:48,520 --> 02:03:51,000 Speaker 1: to give him the better chance. And it's uh. I 2673 02:03:51,200 --> 02:03:53,840 Speaker 1: think at this point you'd have to say both those 2674 02:03:53,880 --> 02:03:57,800 Speaker 1: guys are probably going to be on the final fifty three. Uh, 2675 02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:00,640 Speaker 1: and they'll both be looking to cont' been on special 2676 02:04:00,680 --> 02:04:02,840 Speaker 1: teams and all of that. But there's no question that 2677 02:04:03,160 --> 02:04:04,760 Speaker 1: those are the two guys that he looked at at 2678 02:04:04,760 --> 02:04:07,680 Speaker 1: the nickel corner. And if you're looking for an X factor, yeah, 2679 02:04:07,720 --> 02:04:09,080 Speaker 1: I would go with one of them more than one 2680 02:04:09,080 --> 02:04:10,680 Speaker 1: of the established guys. Who do you got for your 2681 02:04:10,840 --> 02:04:13,320 Speaker 1: X factor? For the Buffalo Bills roster Carmen on the 2682 02:04:13,360 --> 02:04:17,040 Speaker 1: line from Ken Moore, Carmen, go ahead, welcome to the show, Yeah, guys, 2683 02:04:17,160 --> 02:04:19,840 Speaker 1: good show, as you wish. Wall It's like, thank you, 2684 02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:23,480 Speaker 1: but yeah, my X factor this year? I think would 2685 02:04:23,520 --> 02:04:27,400 Speaker 1: he be Matt Blano just last year? I think he 2686 02:04:27,520 --> 02:04:30,280 Speaker 1: was getting better every game and prove me. And I 2687 02:04:30,400 --> 02:04:33,520 Speaker 1: think he's gonna be uh. I think he's gonna be um, 2688 02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:35,880 Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna have a standout year and be 2689 02:04:35,960 --> 02:04:40,640 Speaker 1: a huge contributor. He had defriendse. Yeah that's a good 2690 02:04:40,720 --> 02:04:42,680 Speaker 1: that's a good call to Matt. Malano is a guy who, 2691 02:04:42,760 --> 02:04:45,280 Speaker 1: remember last year, was a rookie and people you know, 2692 02:04:45,320 --> 02:04:48,160 Speaker 1: it was a mid round draft pick. I think like 2693 02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:52,280 Speaker 1: and so everybody's like, oh, okay, yeah, we'll sit and watch. 2694 02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:53,840 Speaker 1: And then he had the game where he started getting 2695 02:04:53,880 --> 02:04:54,880 Speaker 1: on the field a little bit and he had the 2696 02:04:54,920 --> 02:04:56,920 Speaker 1: tipped interception against the Raiders and brought it in for 2697 02:04:56,960 --> 02:05:00,200 Speaker 1: a touchdown right before halftime. Set the Bills up really 2698 02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:03,360 Speaker 1: well for the second half, and then all of a sudden, 2699 02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:05,520 Speaker 1: everybody was cheering for him. And I think that's a 2700 02:05:05,640 --> 02:05:08,640 Speaker 1: great call calling for Matt Milano. He's Murph and I 2701 02:05:08,800 --> 02:05:10,840 Speaker 1: both said this. He came back to training camp theors, 2702 02:05:10,880 --> 02:05:12,440 Speaker 1: he looks a little different. There's been a couple of 2703 02:05:12,520 --> 02:05:15,640 Speaker 1: guys like Shack Lawson, Kelvin Benjamin and Matt. I think 2704 02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:17,880 Speaker 1: Matt Milano fits into the same mold as being a 2705 02:05:17,960 --> 02:05:20,560 Speaker 1: guy who you can see physically when you look at him. 2706 02:05:21,160 --> 02:05:22,600 Speaker 1: He's a little bit of a different player than he 2707 02:05:22,680 --> 02:05:24,280 Speaker 1: was a year ago, and I think that speaks well 2708 02:05:24,320 --> 02:05:26,120 Speaker 1: to the work habit he put in, the work ethic 2709 02:05:26,200 --> 02:05:28,360 Speaker 1: he put in, and what he has planned for his 2710 02:05:28,480 --> 02:05:31,200 Speaker 1: own future. Thanks for your call. We're talking about who 2711 02:05:31,240 --> 02:05:33,640 Speaker 1: do you have as the X factor player on the 2712 02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:36,040 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's roster. Let us know what you think. Time 2713 02:05:36,080 --> 02:05:38,320 Speaker 1: now for NFL true false. It is brought to you 2714 02:05:38,440 --> 02:05:44,640 Speaker 1: by Yancy's Fancy New York's Artistan Cheese. NFL true and false. 2715 02:05:44,840 --> 02:05:46,640 Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the issues going on around 2716 02:05:46,640 --> 02:05:51,000 Speaker 1: the National Football League right now. Steve, where are they here? 2717 02:05:51,040 --> 02:05:55,280 Speaker 1: It is Cardinals starting quarterback? Is Sam Dradford's job to lose? 2718 02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:58,360 Speaker 1: True false? As you read some of the reports coming 2719 02:05:58,400 --> 02:06:01,120 Speaker 1: out of Arizona, it looks that way. I know, you 2720 02:06:01,200 --> 02:06:03,360 Speaker 1: know they have Josh Rosen. They like Josh Rosen, but 2721 02:06:03,760 --> 02:06:05,640 Speaker 1: I think Josh Rosen has less of a chance, it 2722 02:06:05,720 --> 02:06:08,160 Speaker 1: appears less of a chance to be there opening day 2723 02:06:08,200 --> 02:06:11,520 Speaker 1: starter than Josh Allen does here and they the difference 2724 02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,960 Speaker 1: being one of the differences is the Bills did not 2725 02:06:14,040 --> 02:06:16,640 Speaker 1: invest a lot of money in a veteran free agent quarterback. 2726 02:06:16,680 --> 02:06:19,320 Speaker 1: The Cardinals did Sam Bradford. So, yes, I believe it 2727 02:06:19,440 --> 02:06:21,440 Speaker 1: is his job to lose out in Arizona. I'm going 2728 02:06:21,520 --> 02:06:24,200 Speaker 1: true on this. Absolutely. There's no way that Sam Bradford 2729 02:06:24,240 --> 02:06:26,640 Speaker 1: shouldn't be the guy's taking snaps if he's if they 2730 02:06:26,680 --> 02:06:28,640 Speaker 1: can keep him up right. And let's face it, he's 2731 02:06:28,640 --> 02:06:31,160 Speaker 1: an elite quarterback when he's healthy. He's never healthy, so 2732 02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:34,080 Speaker 1: he's not really considered an elite quarterback. He's got that 2733 02:06:34,200 --> 02:06:36,640 Speaker 1: kind of ability when he stands on two feet in 2734 02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,360 Speaker 1: a pocket, when he plays and throws the football. There 2735 02:06:39,360 --> 02:06:41,160 Speaker 1: are a few guys in the league that match up 2736 02:06:41,160 --> 02:06:43,440 Speaker 1: to him. Now, there's a handful, but probably less than 2737 02:06:43,480 --> 02:06:45,440 Speaker 1: a handful, that can throw the ball as well as 2738 02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:47,800 Speaker 1: sam Bradford. There's no There's no question. When he gets 2739 02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:49,880 Speaker 1: on the field out in Arizona and training camp and 2740 02:06:49,960 --> 02:06:52,800 Speaker 1: starts slinging around, Josh Rosen's gonna have a hard time 2741 02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:56,160 Speaker 1: measuring up to that in his first training camp in 2742 02:06:56,160 --> 02:06:59,920 Speaker 1: the NFL, because Sam Bradford is legit. When he stands 2743 02:07:00,040 --> 02:07:03,600 Speaker 1: in the pocket and throws it, he wows you. He 2744 02:07:03,680 --> 02:07:05,800 Speaker 1: was the first pick of the draft. That's why he 2745 02:07:06,280 --> 02:07:08,360 Speaker 1: has been around the National Football League and that's why 2746 02:07:08,400 --> 02:07:10,200 Speaker 1: he's had the success he has when he's been healthy. 2747 02:07:10,640 --> 02:07:12,800 Speaker 1: So yeah, there's no question it's his job to lose, 2748 02:07:12,920 --> 02:07:15,840 Speaker 1: all right. NFL True and False Part two. This is 2749 02:07:15,880 --> 02:07:22,280 Speaker 1: an interesting one. DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans wide receiver is underrated? 2750 02:07:22,720 --> 02:07:25,240 Speaker 1: True or false? Did you know that last year Hopkins 2751 02:07:25,320 --> 02:07:28,960 Speaker 1: had thirteen touchdown catches for the Houston Texans. They weren't 2752 02:07:29,000 --> 02:07:31,720 Speaker 1: a prolific offense. Fourth in the NFL last year with 2753 02:07:32,520 --> 02:07:35,360 Speaker 1: close to fourteen hundred receiving yards, didn't even play the 2754 02:07:35,640 --> 02:07:38,400 Speaker 1: last game of the year, ninety two yards per game receiving, 2755 02:07:38,520 --> 02:07:42,320 Speaker 1: second only to Antonio Brown. DeAndre Hopkins quote the other day, 2756 02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:44,960 Speaker 1: I definitely feel like I'm underrated. I think I'm the 2757 02:07:45,000 --> 02:07:47,680 Speaker 1: best receiver in the NFL. Now, I'm not saying he's 2758 02:07:47,680 --> 02:07:50,520 Speaker 1: the best in the NFL, but DeAndre Hopkins, Houston Texans 2759 02:07:50,600 --> 02:07:53,560 Speaker 1: wide receivers is underrated. I'm going true with that. I 2760 02:07:53,640 --> 02:07:55,680 Speaker 1: believe that Steve people don't know enough about this guy. 2761 02:07:55,680 --> 02:07:58,760 Speaker 1: I agree. I've seen him play, I've seen guys team's 2762 02:07:58,920 --> 02:08:02,920 Speaker 1: scheme to take him away. He's consistently getting open. The 2763 02:08:03,040 --> 02:08:06,520 Speaker 1: guy makes plays on fifty fifty balls. He makes plays 2764 02:08:06,600 --> 02:08:09,280 Speaker 1: on balls that you don't think he's got a chance 2765 02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:13,680 Speaker 1: to make. He is consistently open, weekend, week out, even 2766 02:08:13,760 --> 02:08:17,040 Speaker 1: when teams don't, even when teams scheme to take him away. 2767 02:08:17,360 --> 02:08:21,200 Speaker 1: And last year he was the driving force behind the 2768 02:08:21,360 --> 02:08:24,680 Speaker 1: emergence of Deshaun Watson. And you forget people in western 2769 02:08:24,720 --> 02:08:28,400 Speaker 1: New York. Here, the Houston Texans were on it last year. 2770 02:08:28,560 --> 02:08:31,560 Speaker 1: They were headed in the right direction. They plugged Deshaun 2771 02:08:31,640 --> 02:08:34,640 Speaker 1: Watson in very early and the moment they did, their 2772 02:08:34,720 --> 02:08:37,120 Speaker 1: offense started scoring thirty points a game and they had 2773 02:08:37,160 --> 02:08:41,040 Speaker 1: the number one defense. Then j J Watt gets hurt, 2774 02:08:41,280 --> 02:08:43,840 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson gets hurt, and they finish up with a 2775 02:08:43,920 --> 02:08:45,960 Speaker 1: top picking, you know, one of the top five picks 2776 02:08:46,000 --> 02:08:48,480 Speaker 1: in the draft. They couldn't win a game after that, 2777 02:08:48,640 --> 02:08:52,160 Speaker 1: but those two losses to them in Deshaun Watson and 2778 02:08:53,000 --> 02:08:56,480 Speaker 1: and JJ Watt turned their complete season upside down. Other 2779 02:08:56,600 --> 02:08:59,200 Speaker 1: than that, they were really playing well, and Deshaun Watson 2780 02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:02,560 Speaker 1: was a big reason why. That guy is almost uncoverable. 2781 02:09:02,600 --> 02:09:05,200 Speaker 1: I'm with humor, he may not be the best in 2782 02:09:05,280 --> 02:09:08,200 Speaker 1: the NFL. But he's in the conversation. Yeah, Hopkins, Yeah, 2783 02:09:08,320 --> 02:09:10,280 Speaker 1: he's in. He's in the conversation for being the best 2784 02:09:10,320 --> 02:09:12,240 Speaker 1: in the NFL. There you go, NFL true and false. 2785 02:09:12,320 --> 02:09:14,880 Speaker 1: It has brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's 2786 02:09:14,920 --> 02:09:17,080 Speaker 1: artists in chief Steve and I drive by Yancy's fancy 2787 02:09:17,160 --> 02:09:18,920 Speaker 1: factory every day. Were away here, Yes we did.

Wants 2790 02:09:25,560 --> 02:09:27,360 Speaker 1: to look at cheese that earlier in the morning. A 2791 02:09:27,480 --> 02:09:29,760 Speaker 1: break career back with more One Bills Live from One 2792 02:09:29,800 --> 02:09:43,000 Speaker 1: Bill Drive. And this is Buffalo Bills Radio.

Lots of training camp infrencient 2797 02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:57,040 Speaker 1: coming to you today. We had Nathan Peterman on the 2798 02:09:57,080 --> 02:09:58,600 Speaker 1: show in the first hour of the show and we 2799 02:09:58,720 --> 02:10:01,640 Speaker 1: asked the Bills second year quarterback about his goal for 2800 02:10:01,800 --> 02:10:05,560 Speaker 1: training camp this year. My goal obviously used to be 2801 02:10:05,600 --> 02:10:07,800 Speaker 1: a starter. You know, it's a competition, and um, that's 2802 02:10:07,880 --> 02:10:10,760 Speaker 1: my goal absolutely, and um, you know, to build chemistry 2803 02:10:10,840 --> 02:10:14,200 Speaker 1: with our receivers, you know, with our whole um offense, 2804 02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:16,760 Speaker 1: and to have that nailed down and be ready fresh, 2805 02:10:16,920 --> 02:10:21,000 Speaker 1: you know, ready to go on week one. Nathan Peterman 2806 02:10:21,000 --> 02:10:23,280 Speaker 1: who joined us in the first hour. Also today we 2807 02:10:23,360 --> 02:10:25,600 Speaker 1: at Harrison Phillips on the show at one thirty Bills 2808 02:10:25,680 --> 02:10:30,280 Speaker 1: third round rampick, second backup defensive tackle. Harrison Phillips talked 2809 02:10:30,280 --> 02:10:35,080 Speaker 1: about becoming more comfortable in the Buffalo defense. Sometimes it's 2810 02:10:35,160 --> 02:10:38,200 Speaker 1: it stinks. Um, if you can anticipate a block you're 2811 02:10:38,200 --> 02:10:40,880 Speaker 1: gonna get, but still, no, you just gotta fire up field. 2812 02:10:40,960 --> 02:10:43,040 Speaker 1: So you know, maybe this guy's gonna go this way. 2813 02:10:43,120 --> 02:10:44,640 Speaker 1: So oh, I think he's gonna go there, I'm gonna 2814 02:10:44,640 --> 02:10:47,520 Speaker 1: step that way. No, step forward and make sure you know, 2815 02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:49,880 Speaker 1: don't don't guess wrong. And as long as you're creating 2816 02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:51,640 Speaker 1: a new line of scrimmage, you're fast enough to chase 2817 02:10:51,760 --> 02:10:54,360 Speaker 1: things down. And it's again just kind of learning my 2818 02:10:54,440 --> 02:10:57,320 Speaker 1: abilities as well as trusting myself that I am fast 2819 02:10:57,440 --> 02:10:59,760 Speaker 1: enough to you know, maybe step forward and go down 2820 02:10:59,800 --> 02:11:03,960 Speaker 1: and don't make a play. Things like that. Harrison Phillips 2821 02:11:03,960 --> 02:11:05,560 Speaker 1: signed the show with us today. He loved talking to 2822 02:11:05,640 --> 02:11:09,400 Speaker 1: Harrison and Who, Nathan Peterman, and to Pat Kirwin, Peter King, 2823 02:11:09,640 --> 02:11:11,720 Speaker 1: Evan Washburn.

Man a lot of stuff the 2825 02:11:15,040 --> 02:11:17,280 Speaker 1: players that are going today. The player it's good to 2826 02:11:17,400 --> 02:11:21,640 Speaker 1: hear like Harrison Phillips's perspective. I think he fits them mold. 2827 02:11:21,640 --> 02:11:23,440 Speaker 1: You've talked about it a lot, kind of the culture 2828 02:11:23,480 --> 02:11:26,160 Speaker 1: they they've tried to establish. Here, a guy who doesn't 2829 02:11:26,200 --> 02:11:28,520 Speaker 1: want to be compared to Kyle Williams because it sounds like, 2830 02:11:28,640 --> 02:11:30,560 Speaker 1: quite frankly, he doesn't think he measures up right. That's 2831 02:11:30,640 --> 02:11:32,360 Speaker 1: essentially what he was saying. He's a humble guy. But 2832 02:11:32,440 --> 02:11:34,280 Speaker 1: he's also brings a lot to the table, and he's 2833 02:11:34,440 --> 02:11:36,360 Speaker 1: and he's impressed a lot of people and you and 2834 02:11:36,480 --> 02:11:38,200 Speaker 1: I too with the way he's handled the interviews and 2835 02:11:38,240 --> 02:11:39,960 Speaker 1: the way he's handled all the questions that have been 2836 02:11:40,000 --> 02:11:42,000 Speaker 1: thrown at him as a young draft pick in the NFL. 2837 02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:45,440 Speaker 1: It's been fun to watch all of these guys. Tremaine Edmonds. 2838 02:11:45,480 --> 02:11:46,840 Speaker 1: We'd love to have him on again and get a 2839 02:11:46,960 --> 02:11:48,840 Speaker 1: chance for people to get it to get to know him. 2840 02:11:48,840 --> 02:11:52,000 Speaker 1: Who was an outstanding kid, just like when we had 2841 02:11:52,080 --> 02:11:54,920 Speaker 1: Josh Allen on the other day. So it's it's a 2842 02:11:55,080 --> 02:11:57,120 Speaker 1: great time a year. All these people we had on 2843 02:11:57,160 --> 02:11:59,720 Speaker 1: the show today was a phenomenal show because we had 2844 02:12:00,000 --> 02:12:01,960 Speaker 1: there's so much going on over here, you know, getting 2845 02:12:01,960 --> 02:12:03,600 Speaker 1: into that second week of camp or into the heat 2846 02:12:03,640 --> 02:12:07,200 Speaker 1: of it. The preseason games are still way off on 2847 02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,200 Speaker 1: the horizon. They're still more than a week away. So 2848 02:12:09,360 --> 02:12:12,160 Speaker 1: it's really right now the nuts and bolts of the 2849 02:12:12,280 --> 02:12:14,480 Speaker 1: NFL season where the rubber meets the road, and it's 2850 02:12:14,560 --> 02:12:16,520 Speaker 1: fun to see all that take place like that. We're 2851 02:12:16,520 --> 02:12:18,520 Speaker 1: in the meat of training camp right now. Our Twitter 2852 02:12:18,560 --> 02:12:20,600 Speaker 1: poll today was interesting, asking you to pick who you 2853 02:12:20,680 --> 02:12:24,080 Speaker 1: think will be the Bills X Factor player this year. Again, 2854 02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:27,640 Speaker 1: the definition a person was strong but unpredictable influence on 2855 02:12:27,760 --> 02:12:30,240 Speaker 1: how the season goes. On Twitter, thirty percent of you 2856 02:12:30,280 --> 02:12:32,040 Speaker 1: didn't like our choices. You had somebody else, and we 2857 02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,160 Speaker 1: heard a lot of those.
