20
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: like game It's Look, I know it's preseason, but it

21
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: feels like game day a little bit, doesn't it. Yeah,

22
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: at game days, preseason game days are a little different,

23
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: no question about it. I was just talking to Eric

24
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:17,840
Speaker 1: Wood earlier this morning. I was on his podcast and

25
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: and we were talking about how it feels different. I

26
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,559
Speaker 1: was also on I was on Indianapolis Radio this morning

27
00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 1: and they were talking about how it feels different for

28
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: the players, the veteran players, it's a day off. Basically,

29
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,319
Speaker 1: you've been in training camp all this time. You lay

30
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: around the hotel all day, you go out, you put

31
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 1: your uniform on, warm up, and then sit down for

32
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:37,759
Speaker 1: the rest of the night. It's it's literally a day

33
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 1: off where you're just watching guys play, and so it's

34
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,720
Speaker 1: a little different game day for that for that reason.

35
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,560
Speaker 1: But I've made the joke a couple of times. It's

36
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:51,520
Speaker 1: very highly anticipated. Yeah, we've been it's a it's a

37
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,040
Speaker 1: big drink of water we're all gonna get after a

38
00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:58,080
Speaker 1: long drought with no football. But we're gonna remember pretty quickly.

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 1: It's highly anticipated, and it's gonna be pretty meat yokra football,

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 1: you know what I mean. Yeah, you're right, But there's

41
00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,480
Speaker 1: still gonna be a lot of stuff worth watching. A

42
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,240
Speaker 1: lot of stuff that Bills fans are gonna just hang

43
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,840
Speaker 1: on every snap watching these guys because this is a

44
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,320
Speaker 1: you know, this is season with a lot of anticipation,

45
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,200
Speaker 1: a lot of expectation for Bills fans. So this is

46
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: still gonna even though you're not gonna be watching, you know,

47
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 1: this shootout game tonight where it's gonna be unbelievable and

48
00:02:23,160 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 1: ball is gonna be flying all over the place, still

49
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:27,959
Speaker 1: gonna be very interesting for a lot of people. You

50
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:29,840
Speaker 1: hit on a point that I was thinking about. I

51
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: went home from Rochester last night and you know, did

52
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,160
Speaker 1: more homework, doctored up my spotting boards. They're ready to go, right,

53
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:39,440
Speaker 1: But I was thinking, who's our audience tonight, both TV

54
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,680
Speaker 1: and radio? And they're obviously Bills fans, but I think

55
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,639
Speaker 1: there's almost a couple of different kind of Bills fans.

56
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: Are the casual fans who you will cater too. We

57
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200
Speaker 1: will cater to that want to know how the Bills

58
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 1: looked basically, and you don't. They don't want to five

59
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 1: minute answer how's the team looking? Like? Yeah? Yeah, right?

60
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: Because it's still August, it's August eighth, there's still plenty

61
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 1: of summer left for those people, and it's like how

62
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 1: the bills look and they only want to one minute,

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,920
Speaker 1: maybe a thirty five second answer. And then there's another

64
00:03:04,960 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: group of dieharts and the people I think very often

65
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,520
Speaker 1: the week hater or two for this show, because we're

66
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 1: here every day, five days a week, twelve months a year.

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:16,520
Speaker 1: People who know about Ray, Ray McCloud, people who know

68
00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 1: about Mike Love and Corey Thompson. These will not be

69
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: foreign names to that audience. And both of us, I think,

70
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: on the TV side and on the radio side tonight,

71
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: have to cater to that group too to let them

72
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: know how some of these you know, down the line

73
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 1: deeper into the roster players are doing and about roster battles,

74
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: So you got to kind of cater to both of

75
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: those audiences. Do you agree, mister tag I do? I do.

76
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: I agree completely. And the difficult part of it is

77
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 1: because of the unusual rotation of players in and out

78
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: of the field and off and on the field, and

79
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 1: how they play and who's on the field and how

80
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:53,040
Speaker 1: many plays this defensive series win as opposed to the

81
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 1: last defensive series. It's really hard to keep up with

82
00:03:56,160 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 1: who's playing, and you kind of have to wait for

83
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: a guy to do something to start talking about because

84
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: there's so many guys out there, so it's hard and

85
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,520
Speaker 1: I feel bad for the play by play guys you

86
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 1: tonight on radio, and of course Andrew catalo On my

87
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:10,320
Speaker 1: partner on the on the TV side, keeping track of,

88
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, directing traffic of who's actually on the field

89
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: and who's not on the field, because there is no

90
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: rhyme or reason to it just yet as far as

91
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: we know. Certainly we've kept an eye on how the

92
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: offensive line might rotate and all that, but the wide receivers,

93
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:30,280
Speaker 1: the linebackers, the dbs, it's a mystery. And we want

94
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,599
Speaker 1: to talk about all these guys as they all have

95
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,679
Speaker 1: a shot of making the club. And we've the mantra

96
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,920
Speaker 1: we've had throughout this offseason. It's gonna be a rough

97
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 1: roster to make. So the guys like Corey Thompson's of

98
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 1: the world and Mike Loves of the world and all

99
00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:47,040
Speaker 1: these guys, the Eddie Yarbros of the world. Yeah, there's

100
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: a lot online night. It's a big night. That's a

101
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,640
Speaker 1: good way to put it. It's a big night. Yeah,

102
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,560
Speaker 1: And I mean again, I go back to the famous

103
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: London Fletcher. The game doesn't count, but it means something, right,

104
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 1: it matters, and it matters. Yeah. Hey, um, so Steve

105
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:00,320
Speaker 1: and I have both done a lot of homework about

106
00:05:00,360 --> 00:05:02,360
Speaker 1: this game because we have to, because we're working tonight.

107
00:05:02,600 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: And if if you'd like, let me show you what

108
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:07,359
Speaker 1: I want Steve to hold up his board. We got

109
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: two different jobs tonight. This is my spotting board. This

110
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,320
Speaker 1: is my Bills offense defense. On the other side, this

111
00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: is my Bill's offense spotting board, handcrafted. I might add, yeah,

112
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:20,320
Speaker 1: oh yeah, because I had project Yeah, I got to

113
00:05:20,320 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 1: do it that way. But you know, basically, what we're

114
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:26,680
Speaker 1: doing is um identifying players by position. Right, let me

115
00:05:26,720 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 1: look here, tight end offensive line, wide receivers on either side,

116
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 1: running backs by the way, seven tight ends. Yeah over here,

117
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,279
Speaker 1: where's it over? Here's the seven tight ends. There's eight.

118
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,160
Speaker 1: I didn't put Tyler Croft down there because he's not

119
00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: got This is my preseason board, hopefully it last year.

120
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: The preseason defense on the other side. Flip it over

121
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: so you can do a real color coded I'll let

122
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 1: you into my little secret. I don't know. Yeah, you

123
00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: have a different color code. Well, the black players are

124
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,240
Speaker 1: guys who are here last year based the players written

125
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:56,839
Speaker 1: in black. Yeah, that's what I meant to say. The

126
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: players in red are this year's draft picks. The players

127
00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: in blue our free agents signed this year. Um, look

128
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 1: what about green? Green is undrafted rookies. Okay, so that way,

129
00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,080
Speaker 1: at a glance, there you go. There's a better look

130
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 1: at it. At a glance, I can see, Um, you

131
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:14,080
Speaker 1: know who is this guy and kind of what is

132
00:06:14,120 --> 00:06:16,039
Speaker 1: bad you got? And I've been doing that for years.

133
00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:17,159
Speaker 1: It doesn't make a lot of sense to a lot

134
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:19,280
Speaker 1: of people. But again, the players in black ink, yeah,

135
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 1: they were here last year. The players in blue ink. Um,

136
00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 1: so you've been doing it. You've been doing this for

137
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:29,400
Speaker 1: three decades, three decades, twenty five years, thirty second year. Right,

138
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:31,200
Speaker 1: so you're doing these boards for and you gotta you

139
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:32,800
Speaker 1: develop your own way of doing it. Look at and

140
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,000
Speaker 1: this is Steve got is this You've got a different

141
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,279
Speaker 1: job tonight, right, This is mine. This is nothing but

142
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: a roster, numerical roster the Buffalo Bills. Now this is

143
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:44,640
Speaker 1: the one I use for this game. Um, and I'll

144
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: make it up. I'll make up a different one for

145
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,800
Speaker 1: the next one. And uh, it's just you know, it's

146
00:06:49,800 --> 00:06:52,920
Speaker 1: a numerical roster in order, and I've got the positions

147
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 1: written in, you know, just in one in two letters

148
00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: next to each one, like Nico Saragusta is listed offensive line.

149
00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 1: You know Whyatt Teller is a guard. You know all

150
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,599
Speaker 1: that stuff, and then they got their height and weight.

151
00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 1: Most of what I talk about are the things we've

152
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,720
Speaker 1: talked about here a week after week, and the memory

153
00:07:09,760 --> 00:07:11,600
Speaker 1: courses that you take in the things that you talk about.

154
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: You don't write down the stuff you already know. But

155
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: when you're on the air and you're you don't want

156
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: to get caught at some moment when you see Wyatt

157
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 1: Teller and you can't think of his name, or you

158
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: see what that number and you can't remember exactly the

159
00:07:26,280 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: guy it is, or you see a thirty nine you

160
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: can't tell if it's a thirty nine or a twenty nine.

161
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 1: You had to look and you say, oh, the defense

162
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: is on the field, so it's got to be it's

163
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:36,200
Speaker 1: got to be thirty nine. It's gotta be Levi Wallace.

164
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,320
Speaker 1: It's not it's not t J. Yelden, you know that

165
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 1: kind of thing. So that's what I refer to on

166
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:43,000
Speaker 1: my boards. And the only reason I make all my

167
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,920
Speaker 1: numbers read and their names blue is because that's easy

168
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 1: to keep track of. That's the jerseys I'm looking at.

169
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Um when I do. If I was to do a

170
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: cult on which I won't, what I do is I oh,

171
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: I do exactly what I do here, except I print

172
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,040
Speaker 1: their roster just oversized and just have it to handy

173
00:07:58,040 --> 00:08:00,440
Speaker 1: because this is a preseason game and I don't care

174
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: if the Colts even show up, right, so, um, I

175
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,640
Speaker 1: don't you know, I just refer to their roster because

176
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna be ninety nine percent Buffalo Bills, one percent

177
00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts. And for Andrew Catalan's kind of the same way.

178
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: For him, he'll acknowledge a Colt who made a play,

179
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: but then we're gonna go back and talk about the

180
00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,000
Speaker 1: guy who he made the play on. Yeah. Uh, that's

181
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,040
Speaker 1: what the Buffalo Bill. So that's the reason I do

182
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: it this way for these games. And this is after,

183
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: you know, over a decade or more than twenty twenty

184
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: years of doing doing it that way. When I do

185
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: in the regular season, mine's lined up a little bit

186
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: more like here, yes, and this is my Colts board,

187
00:08:33,840 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: which you know playing Yeah, but The one thing I

188
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: do here is I have notes like about the Colts,

189
00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: because you know, you know the Bills. You've watched two

190
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 1: and a half weeks of training camp, you watched all

191
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: of the spring workouts. And I don't need notes about

192
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,199
Speaker 1: who they are or what their record was last year,

193
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 1: just notes that you can refer to it at some point. Um,

194
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,520
Speaker 1: And I came, I did this this morning, got up

195
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: at seven this morning, did this for an hour or two, Um,

196
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: just as kind of a last, last, last measure to

197
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,040
Speaker 1: get ready. Right as you said, the Colts are not

198
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: that important to us tonight. Um. That said, we've cut

199
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 1: the voice of the Colts on the show. This we

200
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,520
Speaker 1: do want to know about. Yeah, we can talk about

201
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: that like this now. But when he we get him

202
00:09:09,440 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: on voice, that will just will be really respect you know,

203
00:09:12,200 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: so interested, will be so interesting. We talked with Frank

204
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,080
Speaker 1: Reich about this when he was here back in what

205
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: was at May, when he was in Buffalo April. I

206
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: think that game Buffalo at Indie, terrible game for the

207
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:24,800
Speaker 1: Bills last year, right thirty seven to five? Was that

208
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,679
Speaker 1: the final? Right? There was a Derek Anderson game, just

209
00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,640
Speaker 1: a terrible performance. The Colts came into that game one

210
00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: in five. Last year, the Colts ran out that where

211
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,480
Speaker 1: they were and five, and they started off their run,

212
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: didn't they No. One in five? They won nine of

213
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: their last ten games. Yeah, they lost one game at

214
00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: Jacksonville after that and obviously went to the playoffs beat

215
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: the Texans lost to Kansas City. The point is the

216
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:49,400
Speaker 1: Bills actually for the last couple of years, they've had

217
00:09:49,679 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: pivotal games against the Colts for them. Last year, right,

218
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 1: two years ago here the last time the Colts for

219
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,079
Speaker 1: a year, the Snow Game. I mean, that was an

220
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: incredible victory for the Bills, the overtime win over the Colts.

221
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,120
Speaker 1: I'm not saying these two teams are linked or anything,

222
00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:04,800
Speaker 1: but man, that that game. We talked to Frank about this.

223
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,920
Speaker 1: That game sort of ignited them. Last year they win

224
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,760
Speaker 1: over the Bills thirty seven to five. They were just

225
00:10:08,800 --> 00:10:11,600
Speaker 1: ready to go. Yeah, and I think that was a

226
00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:13,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Bills were going. That was a dark

227
00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: part of the season for the Buffalo Bills, right, I mean,

228
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: they got off to a slow start. They finally got

229
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: the win against Minnesota and there that was in the

230
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:23,599
Speaker 1: midst of their quarterback quandary where they couldn't keep a

231
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 1: quarterback on the field, four starting quarterbacks over the course

232
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:30,680
Speaker 1: second game of a four game losing street. Right, So

233
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: it was a dark time in Buffalo and that and

234
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 1: for many Indianapolis they were just trying to find themselves

235
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 1: as well. And they got they got on the winning

236
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,960
Speaker 1: track there and and a win like that, let's face it,

237
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: you can tell it gave them kind of a jolt

238
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 1: of confidence and they started to buy in a little

239
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: bit more what Frank Reich was selling them as a

240
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 1: head coach, and they went on to go to the playoffs. Amazing. Anyway,

241
00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about about tonight's game, not so much

242
00:10:53,240 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: about the Colts and what it means for them, but

243
00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:56,520
Speaker 1: about the Bills and what it means for them and

244
00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:58,400
Speaker 1: what it means for you as a viewer. We got

245
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: a good show coming up here. We got Matt Taylor,

246
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: the play by play voice of the indian Appolis Colts.

247
00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 1: He's going to join us today at one o'clock on

248
00:11:04,480 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: the telephone line. We'll talk with him a little bit

249
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: about Indie. Some people think they're you know, legitimate, Well

250
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: that's just playoff, but maybe deep into the playoff contender

251
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: won a playoff game last year, went to Kansas City

252
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,199
Speaker 1: and lost. They don't have Andrew Luck tonight, and they

253
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 1: don't quite know when they're going to get him back.

254
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: But yeah, they're worth talking about as a playoff contender

255
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: in ye right. It depends on Andrew Luck's health and

256
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: which is in doubt. I mean, he's been struggling and

257
00:11:27,679 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: I thought this was like a week long injury. I

258
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,640
Speaker 1: went back and did some research and heard some guys

259
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: talking about as well, it's three months. Yeah, this achilles

260
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: is turning into a very chronic and nagging injury that

261
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 1: he can't shake. He has not been able to practice.

262
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: He started to try to do some things like, you know,

263
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: take some seven on seven reps, and it did not help.

264
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: It set him back a good bit. I think they're

265
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: starting to get really concerned. Certainly they you know, Jacoby

266
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,320
Speaker 1: Brisset's their number one guy. When Andrew Luck's not on

267
00:11:58,360 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: the field, They've got, of course we'll talk about him.

268
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly is on their roster, and they have another

269
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,319
Speaker 1: kid who his name escapes me now as their four

270
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,880
Speaker 1: guy Walker I believe his name, so you know, but

271
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:15,280
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck is the is the cruxt of their entire season,

272
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: just like every good quarterback is, and his inability to

273
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: stay healthy has dogged that team. When he's healthy, hey,

274
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: they're a playoff team like they were a year ago.

275
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: When he's not, they are not. And him not being

276
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: ready for the opening games is gonna say a lot

277
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 1: about how their season starts. Well more Indianapolis Colt that

278
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:33,960
Speaker 1: I just want to mention, And I brought it up

279
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 1: to my wife this morning when I was sitting at

280
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:38,960
Speaker 1: the kitchen table doing my Colts work, and she doesn't

281
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: pay a whole lot of attention obviously the NFL. I said,

282
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 1: can you believe the Colts have a forty six year

283
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: old kicker on their team? She dropped, what forty six? Ben?

284
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 1: A Arry? You must to play against him, right, An Arry?

285
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: He's twenty. I think I think his first year was

286
00:12:53,440 --> 00:12:56,520
Speaker 1: my first year out twenty four. Maybe his first year

287
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:58,040
Speaker 1: was my saying, I don't know his first year, I was.

288
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,600
Speaker 1: My last year was ninety seven. I don't know when

289
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: he came in, twenty four years whatever. That is NFL's

290
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:06,200
Speaker 1: all time leading score NFL's all time leading field goal producer,

291
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: Adam Vina Terry, the only kicker on Indie's roster. All right,

292
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 1: So we're talking with Matt Taylor at one o'clock today.

300
00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: them about installation of the field, how they do it,

301
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 1: what it means, how often you got to put a

302
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,679
Speaker 1: new field in. You get a good close up look

303

Speaker 1: Brown is in for more breakdowns of autograph procedure at

307
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 1: camp and made quite an impression with us Monday. With that,

308
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: Chris bound to come in and talk about tonight's game

309
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: and who he's keeping an eye on. So that's our show.

310
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: You think it's gonna be a good one. We hope

311
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a good one. We are glad you're

312
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 1: here with us. We're here three o'clock and yes, yes,

313
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: we have a Twitter pole. We want you to get

314
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:05,680
Speaker 1: involved with How you ready? Who are you watching the

315
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: closest in tonight's preseason opener against the Colts? Pretty simple.

316
00:14:09,160 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: We offer a couple of suggestions. You may have somebody

317
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 1: else in mind? Who are you watching the closest in

318
00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,800
Speaker 1: tonight's preseason opener against Indie. We've got three hundred and

319
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 1: sixty six votes in so far in the first fifteen

320
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: minutes of the show, and it's close. Thirty nine percent

321
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: of you say you're watching the offensive line the closest,

322
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:26,880
Speaker 1: thirty seven percent of you say you will watch Josh

323
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:30,640
Speaker 1: Allen the closest, fourteen percent say the wide Receiver Corps,

324
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: ten percent of somebody else in mind. Let's talk about it.

325
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: Phone lines open eight o three oh five fifty toll

326
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

327
00:14:38,800 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: Send in a tweet. We can read it on the

328
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: tweet sheet, or a vote in the Twitter poll. I'm wondering,

329
00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 1: and I don't have a vote here yet. I mean,

330
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch everybody as much as I can, But

331
00:14:46,560 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: if I were to watch the offensive line, knowing that

332
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 1: the starters are going to play a quarter or a

333
00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:54,320
Speaker 1: little bit more or less, what would you look for? Right,

334
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,320
Speaker 1: you don't have your starting center, your big ticket free

335
00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: agent starting center in the lineup tonight, Mitch Morris will

336
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: not play. If you're gonna watch you offensive playing the closest,

337
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:03,880
Speaker 1: what are you looking for, Steve? What would you look

338
00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: What are you looking for? A running game? Running game?

339
00:15:06,200 --> 00:15:08,160
Speaker 1: If they can, if they can push those guys around

340
00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,320
Speaker 1: and make some headway in a running game, that's what

341
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,280
Speaker 1: I want to see. I want to see someplace where

342
00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 1: they hand the ball off to Frank or who's starting tonight,

343
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 1: and they snap off a four and a half five

344
00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: yard run, Just one of those it consistently, you know,

345
00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: That's what I want to see. I want to see him.

346
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: I want to see a different result this year than

347
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,520
Speaker 1: I did a year ago. I want to see Josh

348
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: Allen drop back, make a good decision and throw the

349
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:35,320
Speaker 1: ball to a receiver that's running with some separation, ball

350
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: comes out on time, not having Josh paddit, paddit, paddit, paddit,

351
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,080
Speaker 1: tuck it down, run out to the right, and then

352
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: find somebody open. I want the ball to come out

353
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: on time in the passing game, that would be huge.

354
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 1: I'd like to see him put together a multiplace seven

355
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,440
Speaker 1: play plus drive, even if it doesn't end in points

356
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 1: or end in a field goal or a touchdown, put

357
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: together a seven play drive where they get three first

358
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 1: downs during a drive and you're looking at that from

359
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 1: the start, the first from the starters, from the starters

360
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,160
Speaker 1: once the number twos get in, and let me give

361
00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 1: this and I'll give our viewers a piece of advice.

362
00:16:08,200 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: For me, this is as a as a guy who

363
00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: played and a guy who's watched the game and covered

364
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 1: it and talked to coaches and what they look for

365
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 1: after the ones come out. Then, for the only time

366
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: ever in football, and it's the NFL preseason when it's

367
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,320
Speaker 1: when it happens this way, it becomes an individual sport.

368
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 1: Every player is trying to play his best at the

369
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 1: best he can in his spot, and it's all about him.

370
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:39,120
Speaker 1: Continue when the backups come in after the ones come

371
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,480
Speaker 1: out in the preseason in the NFL, it's the only time.

372
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: It's the most you'll ever see this sport become individual,

373
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,080
Speaker 1: because that's how they're gonna be evaluated by the coach,

374
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,840
Speaker 1: by the by their superiors. They're gonna say, how did

375
00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:55,920
Speaker 1: he play in his spot, Here's what we asked him

376
00:16:55,920 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: to do, Here's how he did it, plus or minus.

377
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: And here's when he competed really hard against that other

378
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: guy that we don't and look at this and here

379
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,320
Speaker 1: he won. He won his battle there. Okay, that's a

380
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,560
Speaker 1: plus on that play. How'd he do on the next snap?

381
00:17:09,119 --> 00:17:12,439
Speaker 1: It is an individual sport, it that you've heard. You

382
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 1: know how I feel about football. It's the best team

383
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: sport on the planet, bar none, because everybody depends on

384
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:22,400
Speaker 1: each other. But that's not quite so true in this situation.

385
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: And that's when so when these ones come out, guess

386
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: what I'm looking for. Pick a guy and see how

387
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:29,320
Speaker 1: he plays in his matchup. That's the best way to

388
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,479
Speaker 1: watch these games. And that gets to our question, who

389
00:17:31,520 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: are you watching the closest tonight? To your point about

390
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,879
Speaker 1: individual tool and I agree one hundred percent, and I

391
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: think that's what makes these games. People ask me, it's

392
00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:43,359
Speaker 1: about preseason football tough to do as a broadcaster, Yeah,

393
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,560
Speaker 1: it is. It is, and it's not because of the

394
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:48,280
Speaker 1: ninety men and each roster. It's because of what you

395
00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 1: just said right there in their auditions, right, there's at

396
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,639
Speaker 1: any given moment on the field, there's twenty two different

397
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: auditions going on. And there's really a little pace to

398
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 1: a game. Little there's very little, you know, play one

399
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 1: rhythm and right there's no flow, no rhythm, no game plan,

400
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:05,280
Speaker 1: and that's what makes these games difficult. It's frustrating for

401
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,240
Speaker 1: fans too, because they're sitting the fans going why don't

402
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,760
Speaker 1: they do this? They'd win and they never call that player,

403
00:18:10,800 --> 00:18:12,440
Speaker 1: they never get that guy's number. They go, what do

404
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:15,639
Speaker 1: they do? It's frustrating, right, But we'll get through it.

405
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,000
Speaker 1: We're not complaining. I'm excited about it. I'm excited to

406
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: watch those auditions. You we spent two weeks plus at

407
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: training camp, the last couple of weeks watching practice. Now

408
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: I want to see what it looks like in a game.

409
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,640
Speaker 1: It is any step, it's an exto logical step. Finally

410
00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,399
Speaker 1: got to see somebody tackle. Yeah, right, you know block.

411
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: So the question who are you watching the closest tonight

412
00:18:34,200 --> 00:18:36,440
Speaker 1: in the Bills game against the Indianapolis Colts, who do

413
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: you got your eye on? And Steve said, it's a

414
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 1: good way to watch a game, focus on a player

415
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,800
Speaker 1: or two on every series, offense or defense. Let's get

416
00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: to some of the tweets from the tweet sheet. It

417
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,400
Speaker 1: is brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official

418
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 1: movers of the Buffalo Bills. The guys from Corrigan. We're

419
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,879
Speaker 1: out there at training camp yesterday picking up the final

420
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:55,119
Speaker 1: pieces from the Bills training camp. We were out there yesterday.

421
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: They're ready to go. We're off the air at three.

422
00:18:57,000 --> 00:18:59,120
Speaker 1: They were there at three oh one, ready to move

423
00:18:59,160 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 1: our stuff. Who watching the closest? He wants to start

424
00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:03,199
Speaker 1: us off. On the tweet from Jerry, he says, I'm

425
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 1: looking for big things from Tyree Jackson. The man Cave

426
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 1: will be rocking tonight. Thank god it's finally here. That's

427
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 1: the highly anticipated mediocrity we're talking about. I mean, this

428
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:16,160
Speaker 1: is really true. I mean it's gonna be bad football,

429
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,160
Speaker 1: but there are gonna be some guys who flash. Maybe

430
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:20,080
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson will be one of them. Nuts from Jerry,

431
00:19:20,119 --> 00:19:22,199
Speaker 1: also from Joe. Before you move on from Tyree, can

432
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:24,600
Speaker 1: I just say he has not had Look, I'll say

433
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: that he has not had a good camp. He has

434
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: not had a ton of reps. That's the biggest problem.

435
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: He doesn't get a lot of reps. Tonight, he'll play more.

436
00:19:30,840 --> 00:19:32,560
Speaker 1: He'll get more snaps a night than he probably did

437
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,880
Speaker 1: in the first two weeks at training camp combined. He'll

438
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: probably be running place he's never rapped too. Yeah, in

439
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 1: the second half, I mean, look, they're gonna start johsh

440
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 1: go a quarter, Barkley probably goes a second quarter. I

441
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,880
Speaker 1: don't know if Barkley comes back for the second half.

442
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:46,680
Speaker 1: I would anticipate Tyree Jackson will play much of, if

443
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: not all, of the second half at quarterback. A chance

444
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: that he doesn't. He doesn't get that much of a

445
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: chance at training camp practice. So we talked about guys,

446
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: this is a big night for him. This is a

447
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,159
Speaker 1: big knight for Tyree. Look, I don't know if he's

448
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:01,720
Speaker 1: gonna make the fifty freeman roster, but he has a

449
00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: chance tonight to show the Bills and thirty one other

450
00:20:04,240 --> 00:20:08,480
Speaker 1: NFL teams what he has and his talents are considerable. Right,

451
00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,840
Speaker 1: six foot seven inches tall, big strong arm, uh success

452
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: at University at Buffalo. He has something to show and

453
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 1: he gets a chance to show it tonight. He would

454
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 1: definitely be a guy to keep your eye on tonight. Absolutely,

455
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:22,119
Speaker 1: and one of the other things about him, he's got

456
00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: so much to learn, and it starts with the simple

457
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,320
Speaker 1: things like taking a snap from under center. There have

458
00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: been times at this camp where he struggled that he

459
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: didn't have to do that. At you Be, he didn't

460
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: take too many under center snaps and here they do it,

461
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:36,280
Speaker 1: you know, a large percentage of the time. They do

462
00:20:36,359 --> 00:20:39,160
Speaker 1: have a lot of shotgun but he struggled to get

463
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: the snap the exchange on a number of occasions. And

464
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,719
Speaker 1: let's face it, two they're switching guys out on him too.

465
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:49,080
Speaker 1: I mean there was Bodine, Mitch Morris, he's playing with threes, Aliciano,

466
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:52,639
Speaker 1: all these guys are Spencer Long. So he's taken snaps

467
00:20:52,680 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: from a bunch of different guys and there's so there

468
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: is that, But you know, that's that's got to be

469
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: job one. At one thing you can watch for Tyree

470
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,520
Speaker 1: tonight when he he's under center is as simple as that,

471
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:04,960
Speaker 1: get the exchange right. He needs to do that because

472
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: there have been issues sometimes at camp. But we do

473
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 1: know this Tyree Jackson, as Jerry points out, I'm looking

474
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: for big things. He might have a big thing in

475
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,159
Speaker 1: store for us. Right. He's got such arm strength and

476
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: the ability to go deep and the ability to escape

477
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,199
Speaker 1: the pocket and make a throw downfield. He might make

478
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,639
Speaker 1: a big play tonight because he's that capable. It's the

479
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,080
Speaker 1: little stuff, as Steve points out, the little stuff that

480
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,360
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson's going to have to master. And I think

481
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 1: while we might be looking for big plays and Jerry's

482
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: looking for big plays, some of those coaches Ken Dorsey

483
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:37,359
Speaker 1: and Brian Dabele and Sean McDermott are going to be

484
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,680
Speaker 1: looking for a lot of little things. I think from Tyrie,

485
00:21:39,920 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: just don't turn it over. How's his footwork? Does he

486
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 1: handle the snap? How do they look coming in and

487
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,760
Speaker 1: out of the huddle. Is he commanding the huddle or

488
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:47,760
Speaker 1: they look like they're ready to play when he calls

489
00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: the play and they step up as he in control

490
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:52,440
Speaker 1: of that offense. I'll just and it's a feeling too,

491
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 1: and let alone what happens after the ball is snapped.

492
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 1: You know, there's a lot of that going in, a

493
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: lot of the evaluation going because Tyree had a long

494
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,919
Speaker 1: way to go when they signed him. What else you

495
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: gotta tweets from? Jackie says The obvious answer is Alan

496
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,280
Speaker 1: because everyone is interested in him, but I doubt he

497
00:22:07,320 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: plays a lot. I voted wide receiver. I'd like to

498
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,680
Speaker 1: see how smoke, which is John Brown and Cole Beasley,

499
00:22:12,720 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 1: look to see if and to see if Foster and

500
00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: Zay Jones show development, and see how the battle for

501
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,960
Speaker 1: wide receiver number six is going among the bubble guys.

502
00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:25,640
Speaker 1: I'm still pulling for McKenzie and Sills the fifth. Yeah,

503
00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:27,639
Speaker 1: there's a lot going on at the wide receiver spot.

504
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: And he Jack displays in his tweet, what is one

505
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight characters? He displays an understanding of

506
00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 1: what it's all about. Yeah, you want to see John Brown,

507
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: you want to see Cole, You want to see Foster

508
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 1: in particular Robert Foster make plays and yeah, yeah, pulling

509
00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,159
Speaker 1: for McKenzie and Sills. Guys to pull for McKenzie. I

510
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 1: think would be a little bit ahead of him on

511
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: my packing order and wide receiver, mostly because of his

512
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,000
Speaker 1: special team's capabilities, and he's had better moments. You know,

513
00:22:55,119 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: Sills has probably getting reps with anybody beyond the twos

514
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: or threes, right. Yeah, it's it's an uphill battle, and

515
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 1: it's a it's a they're in them, even though they're

516
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,719
Speaker 1: not at Saint John Fisher anymore. This game, games like

517
00:23:08,840 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: this and the opportunities that they get, whether they're limited

518
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: or whether they're multiple, weigh a lot because the reps

519
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: in practice, you know, they tend to you, tend to

520
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,480
Speaker 1: get your personality and practice say, okay, here's the kind

521
00:23:21,480 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 1: of receiver he is. Will see how he does against

522
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: this dB and they'll see how this does. When you

523
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: get into game, you know, that's when you've got to

524
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,520
Speaker 1: exploit your abilities. You've got to show what you've learned.

525
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: You've got to shown that you can compete this game.

526
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 1: And I think too we haven't even talked much about it,

527
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 1: but next week, when they're going everyday practicing against the

528
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:45,240
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, I think on both sides of the table,

529
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,800
Speaker 1: the coaching staff and the players are going to find

530
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:51,320
Speaker 1: out a lot about each other. They're gonna find the

531
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: players are really going to find out a lot about themselves,

532
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:56,639
Speaker 1: and the coaches are really gonna have it weigh heavily

533
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:59,120
Speaker 1: on their evaluation about how they practice against another team.

534
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: Take a phone call on this question. Who you're watching

535
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,120
Speaker 1: the closest tonight on the Bills as they take on

536
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,400
Speaker 1: the Colts. Let's go to Dave in Florida. Hello, Dave,

537
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:09,439
Speaker 1: good afternoon, Welcome to the show. Good after How you

538
00:24:09,440 --> 00:24:12,760
Speaker 1: guys doing okay? All right, I'm good to see you

539
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: back at one of those drive Yeah, listen, I'm looking

540
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:19,520
Speaker 1: to for someone to fill Kyle Williams. Is that Oliver?

541
00:24:19,960 --> 00:24:24,360
Speaker 1: That's sure is? Yep? Yep, that's who I want to see. Yeah,

542
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 1: that's up in the middle. Yeah, thig, that's to take

543
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: care of itself. You'll see a lot about Oliver. He

544
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 1: will be with the starters. I would anticipate play at

545
00:24:33,800 --> 00:24:38,440
Speaker 1: least I would think deep into the first quarter. And

546
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 1: here's the thing I'm trying to think. If you're keeping

547
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: an eye on ninety one at Oliver tonight, keep an

548
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: eye on him right at the snap and watch how

549
00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:47,400
Speaker 1: quickly his feet go. Can you see that on TV?

550
00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 1: If you're not there, you probably can't. Maybe you can

551
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:51,480
Speaker 1: see it better on TV. Right at the snap, watch

552
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,399
Speaker 1: his feet go and watch and see. And the Colts

553
00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,439
Speaker 1: have a good offensive line, but see if they have

554
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 1: trouble kind of keeping up with that Oliver and his

555
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 1: jump explosion. It's pretty impressive and I'm eager to see it.

556
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 1: Against another team tonight. Yeah, and you know he's Ed

557
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:07,919
Speaker 1: is gonna have all these young guys are from Tyree

558
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,320
Speaker 1: Jackson to Ed Oliver, the rookie free agents, all the

559
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:12,359
Speaker 1: way up to the number one draft pick. Everybody's gonna

560
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 1: have a big boost of adrenaline tonight. You're gonna see

561
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,960
Speaker 1: some guys really explode. And you and I will probably

562
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:21,560
Speaker 1: notice as much as anybody anybody's been watching practice, you're

563
00:25:21,560 --> 00:25:25,360
Speaker 1: gonna see different guys when this game atmosphere kicks in.

564
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:27,800
Speaker 1: They're gonna flourish, and they're gonna kind of flex a

565
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: little bit, and they're gonna be other guys who have

566
00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: been playing well maybe who don't. Uh. That's part of

567
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:40,880
Speaker 1: why these games matter, even though they don't count. How

568
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 1: you react when the team depends on you, not just

569
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,639
Speaker 1: your career, and that's that's gonna be big tonight. I

570
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:49,040
Speaker 1: think you'll see some of that. Ed Oliver is a

571
00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,800
Speaker 1: guy who you know, and I say that because Ed's

572
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,159
Speaker 1: gonna you know, he's a quick, explosive guy, and you

573
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: mix that with a big dose of adrenaline on his

574
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: opening day as a as a pro, I think, yeah,

575
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,120
Speaker 1: I think that offense of line will see it as well.

576
00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: I think I'm looking forward to that as well. It's

577
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 1: a good offensive line of the Colts tips. Yes, it is.

578
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: They're really good. We'll talk more about that. Who are

609
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: I think most kickoffs at eight, I mean seven, mostly clear,

610
00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:42,720
Speaker 1: a few passing clouds. Okay, it'll get might be it

611
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 1: might be a stinky tail a stinky tailgate For the

614
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: How do I listen. I've I've left pieces of me

615
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: laying all over the NFL. I don't care if people

Speaker 1: closest tonight for the Bills when they kick on the Colts?

620
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 1: I sound like a bitter old guy, don't I? Maybe not, Bill,

621
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: Maybe content is more instead of bitter. What are you watching?

622
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,199
Speaker 1: Who are you watching on the Bills closest tonight when

623
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,680
Speaker 1: they play the Colts? Eight three five fifty toll free

624
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:24,520
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight by fifty two may read one

625
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,040
Speaker 1: more from the tweet sheet. The tweet Max he says,

626
00:28:27,080 --> 00:28:29,120
Speaker 1: this is a tough one. I'm gonna try and watch

627
00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:31,440
Speaker 1: them all. I definitely want to see a strong first

628
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 1: quarter from the offense overall, would like to see Foster

629
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,160
Speaker 1: make a few plays after a week camp, and definitely

630
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,640
Speaker 1: intrigued with Sweeney and Singletary. Max has been paying attention

631
00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: to us on on the show. Go. That's that's right

632
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 1: down the lines. You and I have been talking about it.

633
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:48,520
Speaker 1: Talk to me. Let me ask you this, Murph. Yes, sir,

634
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:55,760
Speaker 1: best case scenario for the offense first quarter, Um, yeah,

635
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,000
Speaker 1: long scoring drive, you said it. First quarter first teamers,

636
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,800
Speaker 1: long scoring drive I have, with a lot of good

637
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 1: effective runs, nobody gets hurt, a couple of big passes

638
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: on third downs. I would like to see some of

639
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,680
Speaker 1: the And again, they're not going to display a lot

640
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 1: of what they want to do, but I would love

641
00:29:10,920 --> 00:29:13,000
Speaker 1: to see some of the elements of what I believe

642
00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: is a new multi varied passing attack that they'll have

643
00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 1: this year, which means finding Cole Beasley over the middle

644
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 1: and hitting John Brown and slant routes and an element

645
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:25,600
Speaker 1: of the deep passing game, but mostly good efficient runs

646
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: mixed in with some you know, big plays in terms

647
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: of first downs, chain movers, long scoring drive, hopefully a touchdown.

648
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:34,120
Speaker 1: I guess you can settle for a few goal in

649
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 1: the preseason. That's what I would look for from the

650
00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,240
Speaker 1: first team. I just want to see him control it,

651
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: you know, get the ball, run the ball, pass the ball,

652
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 1: hit the open guys, throw some like you said, I

653
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 1: don't want. The right word is diverse passing attack. I want.

654
00:29:48,880 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 1: I want to see a screen pass. I want to

655
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: see over the middle pass. I want to see a

656
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 1: deep end, a deep out. I want to see him

657
00:29:53,640 --> 00:29:55,400
Speaker 1: take a shot deep. I want to get over the

658
00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,000
Speaker 1: middle right. I want to see Josh just step back,

659
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: hit the back foot. Ball's gone right, yep, to somebody

660
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: who's running open. I want to see him hand it

661
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: to Gore, have him run a couple two or three

662
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: yards before he gets contact. Yep. All of that. You know,

663
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:14,800
Speaker 1: Josh tells you what he's looking for. He told us

664
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,960
Speaker 1: on our show a week ago. He said it, The

665
00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,840
Speaker 1: coaching staff has said it. Decision making. Want to see good, quick,

666
00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: strong decision making by Josh Ellen, right, that's part of it.

667
00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 1: And you not knowing what the play call is, you

668
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: can still tell, right when the quarterback makes a good

669
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:31,120
Speaker 1: quick decision and get the ball comes out. You might

670
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:33,400
Speaker 1: not know everything about it. You know, he might be

671
00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: missing somebody else's open. But I look forward to watching

672
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 1: Josh make those quick decisions that we've seen on a

673
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:43,160
Speaker 1: pretty consistent basis at training camp. Yeah, and I. You know,

674
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: it's interesting you and I both are sitting here. Neither

675
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 1: one of us is saying I want to see a

676
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:51,880
Speaker 1: sixty percent completion rate or you know, or that I don't.

677
00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: I don't think we're gonna get a big enough cross

678
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 1: section of plays to even put statistical analysis together, right.

679
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: I just want to look at it and feel good

680
00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: about it. Yeah, basically I mean that it's a total

681
00:31:03,040 --> 00:31:05,800
Speaker 1: fanboy attitude. But just make me feel good, you know,

682
00:31:06,680 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: give me a chances, you know, have an extra pop

683
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,960
Speaker 1: tonight and go to bed happy. I heard somebody on

684
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,840
Speaker 1: the radio today coming in on a different radio station

685
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:15,680
Speaker 1: talking about what they're looking for tonight and seeing, Oh,

686
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 1: I want big plays. I want them to air it out,

687
00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: And I thought, no, not tonight. Don't need that tonight.

688
00:31:20,480 --> 00:31:22,160
Speaker 1: Don't want to see that tonight. I don't. I don't

689
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 1: care if they make big plays and dazzle you with

690
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:28,120
Speaker 1: with their offensive approach. Run a good efficient offense, move

691
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: the chains, make first down, stay on the field for

692
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 1: a while. I don't need big plays tonight. I really don't.

693
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 1: I don't either. If if I was going to anticipate

694
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 1: something or try and predict something, this would be it.

695
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:43,560
Speaker 1: First play Tyree Jackson's in the game. It's gonna be

696
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: an exact replay of the first game first play the

697
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: Josh addles on the field last year, drop it back

698
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: and throw it as far as you can possibly throw it.

699
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 1: If he throws it as far as he can throw it,

700
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,800
Speaker 1: it may be on Abbot road, you might. I'm not

701
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 1: talking about job. I'm talking about Tyree. You are. I

702
00:31:59,240 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 1: think that's a right. Tyree. Here you go, man, drop

703
00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:03,800
Speaker 1: back and sling it. Let's go. That will be basically,

704
00:32:04,040 --> 00:32:06,960
Speaker 1: I'll be on the wristband. It'll say play number thirty two.

705
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 1: Tyree dropped back and throw it as far as you

706
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 1: can throw. That's it, and let's see if they can

707
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:14,120
Speaker 1: hit it. Phone calls, let's go to Tom and tna

708
00:32:14,160 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 1: wan to Hello Tom, Welcome to the show. Hi, guys,

709
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:21,880
Speaker 1: than you think Mitch Morris will be ready for opening days? Steve?

710
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,160
Speaker 1: How many concussions did you have as a special team Bomber?

711
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,800
Speaker 1: Good question. I do think, and now I'm optimistic enough

712
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: to say, yeah, I think Mitch will be back for

713
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: opening Day. I think he'll probably be back for one

714
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: or two more of the preseason games. But I don't know.

715
00:32:36,360 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 1: I mean, that's just me talking that. The club won't

716
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:41,000
Speaker 1: talk about it. I haven't even spoken anybody off the

717
00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 1: record about it. I don't even know. I'm just saying

718
00:32:43,320 --> 00:32:45,840
Speaker 1: I think he will be back. In time, And for me,

719
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,960
Speaker 1: I had a number of I had three concussions in

720
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: my two years at Northwestern. One of them was pretty serious,

721
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 1: the other two were a little closer together in a

722
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 1: different season. And then I didn't have an another concussion

723
00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:02,680
Speaker 1: until a Monday night game in San Francisco in my

724
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: eleventh year in the National Football and that one was

725
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:08,160
Speaker 1: kind of a serious one. But the next week I

726
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:10,160
Speaker 1: was back on the field. This was before the concussion

727
00:33:10,200 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: protocols and all that. I came back the next week.

728
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: Two questions when you went back on the field, were

729
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 1: you ready, Like I know, there was no concussion protocol

730
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,440
Speaker 1: back then, Well, did you feel like you were chancing it? Right?

731
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,960
Speaker 1: I don't want to see. And here's the thing. I

732
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: got hit in the San Francisco game playing wide out, uh,

733
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:29,400
Speaker 1: And it was kind of a he got hit in

734
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 1: the back of the head, wasn't It wasn't a big

735
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: big wow look at that hit or anything like that.

736
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:37,800
Speaker 1: But for summer, you know, Billy Brooks camera said hey,

737
00:33:37,800 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 1: you all right, and I said, yeah, I think so,

738
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,440
Speaker 1: and he goes he was wanting to take take So

739
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:43,760
Speaker 1: I came off the field for a play and I

740
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: came off the field and they asked me some questions

741
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:46,719
Speaker 1: and how are you doing? You know where you are?

742
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: You know there? They gave me the you know, the questions,

743
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,440
Speaker 1: you know where? I said, yeah, of course I know

744
00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: where I'm at. We're in San Francisco. It's Monday night.

748
00:34:00,880 --> 00:34:02,880
Speaker 1: and they go, okay, You're good to go. So I

749
00:34:02,960 --> 00:34:05,520
Speaker 1: went back on the field the same game. A couple

750
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,880
Speaker 1: of plays later, UM and played and then you know,

751
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: I was playing and Jim called to play and I

752
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 1: looked at him. I said, what do I do on that?

753
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:21,960
Speaker 1: And that was you know, and Jim looked at me,

754
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,839
Speaker 1: looked at me, put his hand on my shoulder, looked

755
00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: at the sideline and just waved him in and said,

756
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: come come get you know, my concussed friend. So they did.

757

Speaker 1: They came over and got me. They I came off

758
00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:35,680
Speaker 1: the field. I went over and put an ice pack

759
00:34:35,800 --> 00:34:37,279
Speaker 1: on my head, on my back of my neck. I

760
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:40,440
Speaker 1: was done for the day. UM game was over and

761
00:34:40,520 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 1: I was coherent. I could talk to guys and everything

762
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:44,399
Speaker 1: and I had a good conversation with a good friend

763
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: of mine, Brent Jones, tied in for the forty nine ers,

764
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,400
Speaker 1: and his wife after the game. We were we were

765
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,320
Speaker 1: talking before we were getting on the bus, and I

766
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: got on the bus. We get home late night, get

767
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: back to Buffalo. We started watching the game on Tuesday morning,

768
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: and your boy made a catch in that game that

769
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: I don't remember remember after of the hit. Yeah, that's

770
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 1: kind of stuff happens, and it was kind of scary

771
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,520
Speaker 1: to think about at the time. But here I am

772
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,680
Speaker 1: today and I feel great. I got another question for you,

773
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: But you mentioned Bill Brooks's former Bill former Colt. Do

774
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:15,799
Speaker 1: you know his cousin play plays for the Colts. No, really,

775
00:35:15,920 --> 00:35:17,480
Speaker 1: I came across this. This is why I got up

776
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: at six thirty seven this morning. No, it's not that

777
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: big a deal. Carrie Willis or fourth round pick from

778
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,440
Speaker 1: Michigan State. You can make that note on your chart

779
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: he's Bill Brooks's cousin. Because Bill Brooks was, by the way,

780
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: one of my favorite players in that area. Right. It's

781
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:31,600
Speaker 1: just a great guy. Nineteen ninety five was my most

782
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:34,480
Speaker 1: fun year of playing professional football, and Billy was a

783
00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: big reason why man, he was so much and he's

784
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:39,720
Speaker 1: a wonderful teammate and great guy. So his cousin's number

785
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,920
Speaker 1: thirty seven safety rookie fourth round pick. Hey, the other

786
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: thing about your concussion history, so you went, you got

787
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:49,719
Speaker 1: the first concussions at Northwestern and played eleven years in

788
00:35:49,800 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: the NFL without one and special teams. As the caller

789
00:35:53,280 --> 00:35:55,399
Speaker 1: points out, you were banging a lot of the time,

790
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,919
Speaker 1: so you would think about, you know, and the guests.

791
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:02,320
Speaker 1: It's related to Mitch Morris, the proclivity for another concussion

792
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:04,799
Speaker 1: after one or two. But that did not play out

793
00:36:04,880 --> 00:36:06,799
Speaker 1: in any way in your case. You played eleven years.

794
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:10,640
Speaker 1: I did special teams, but still eleven years, right, eleven years,

795
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: And there were some big collisions and I was both

796
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:16,480
Speaker 1: on both ends of both big collisions, and I was fine.

797
00:36:16,600 --> 00:36:20,239
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this true. Everybody's different, so I can't.

798
00:36:20,280 --> 00:36:21,920
Speaker 1: You can equate me with Mitch Morse if you like,

799
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:23,440
Speaker 1: but you're not going to be accurate because he's going

800
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: to be different than me and vice versa. But for me,

801
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:31,440
Speaker 1: I got my first concussion in a game at Northwestern

802
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:34,560
Speaker 1: University and I got hit by because I was rolling

803
00:36:34,600 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 1: across the ground. I was running covering a kick and

804
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:40,160
Speaker 1: I went past the kick and rolled over and the

805
00:36:40,239 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: back of my head clipped a guy's leg and just

806
00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: on the back of my head, and subsequently all the

807
00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:51,360
Speaker 1: concussions I remember getting it was the same. It was

808
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:52,800
Speaker 1: the same. It was a hit on the back of

809
00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:55,239
Speaker 1: my not the front year or but when I got

810
00:36:55,320 --> 00:36:57,280
Speaker 1: hit in the back, it was when I was vulnerable

811
00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 1: as a player to that and for whatever that was worth,

812
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,120
Speaker 1: you know, that's the eleven years later was the next

813
00:37:04,160 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 1: time it happened. Um, interests. It's impossible to predict and

814
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: my yeah, very everybody, and it's impossible to equate my

815
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,680
Speaker 1: concussions and my history with another guy. You can, certainly,

816
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,600
Speaker 1: maybe researchers could make some correlation, but everybody reacts differently

817
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: and and they recovered differently, and the amount and the

818
00:37:26,880 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: level of concussion is different. That's so yeah, it's not

819
00:37:32,440 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's not the it's not an easy can

820
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: it's not an easy injury to evaluate and to and

821
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: to predict. And by the way, that's a good question

822
00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 1: from the caller, Um, and the caller wanted to know

823
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,480
Speaker 1: what do we think will Will Mitch Moore to be

824
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 1: back for the opener, and quite frankly, we don't know

825
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: that he's in protocol, so you don't get updates right

826
00:37:52,719 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: on guys in concussion protocol, they go through a prescribed

827
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:59,799
Speaker 1: set of tests and uh workouts, and you don't get

828
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 1: up dates. And rightfully, yes, sEH McDermott, he won't even

829
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,880
Speaker 1: talk about it. They can't. Rightfully, so too, the player

830
00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:07,920
Speaker 1: is not allowed to speak to the media either, or

831
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,560
Speaker 1: you can imagine it's obvious why. And like after a

832
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:12,920
Speaker 1: concussion in a game, a player is not going to

833
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:14,800
Speaker 1: go out and do a press conference because he because

834
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:18,000
Speaker 1: you know what he's gonna say. He's not it's not fair,

835
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:21,239
Speaker 1: he's not himself, or even if he is, you don't

836
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 1: know for sure, you know, And because concussions sometimes like

837
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: the one with me, I too spoke to you about

838
00:38:26,440 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: the one I had in San Francisco. It was five

839
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: ten minutes before the symptoms of that concussion presented themselves,

840
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 1: so they checked me. But they checked me so quickly

841
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:44,080
Speaker 1: after the incident that it wasn't accurate at that moment

842
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,759
Speaker 1: and it was only a couple of minutes later where

843
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: it presented itself in the way that they could see

844
00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:51,120
Speaker 1: it yep, good question. We'll get more of your questions.

845
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 1: Who are you watching the closest tonight on the Bills

846
00:38:53,040 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 1: as they take on the Colts. We'll read some of

847
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:56,879
Speaker 1: the tweets from the tweet sheet, will take some phone

848
00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,640
Speaker 1: calls at eight three five fifty and toll free one

849

Speaker 1: eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty count lines

850
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:03,799
Speaker 1: open there, you know. And I also got to talk

851
00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,120
Speaker 1: about right now, but at some point today there's new

852
00:39:06,200 --> 00:39:08,440
Speaker 1: coaches on the Bill's staff. This is their first game.

853
00:39:08,480 --> 00:39:10,640
Speaker 1: We'll talk about them as the show goes along. Come

854
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:12,640
Speaker 1: on back, Steve and I just getting rolling here here

855
00:39:12,719 --> 00:39:14,880
Speaker 1: until three. One Bill's Live from One Bill's Drive on

856
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:28,400
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bill's Radio. Welcome back One Bill's Live, John Murphy,

857
00:39:28,440 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker Comedy Alive from One Bills Driver. Our days

858
00:39:31,560 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: at the Fisher are over. It was great down there, though,

859
00:39:34,040 --> 00:39:37,480
Speaker 1: right short, what do we have eight shows? I've spent

860
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 1: a total of nine days. They had eleven practices. I

861
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 1: saw nine of them, which is pretty good. And uh,

862
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,800
Speaker 1: it was great. I think the people the Fisher are amazing.

863
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: I love Rochester. I love the Bills fans down that way.

864
00:39:48,880 --> 00:39:52,600
Speaker 1: I love them. Yeah, I love the access fan's have

865
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: to for autographs and meet and greets. I think it's

866
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: it's a great set up. I hope they keep doing it.

867
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,040
Speaker 1: They well, I hope they do. I said at the

868
00:39:59,120 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 1: end of yesterday show, they're dialed in over there. Many

869
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 1: the bills roll in over there and everything is like boom,

870
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,880
Speaker 1: and they just go as. There's no like, where do

871
00:40:08,960 --> 00:40:11,640
Speaker 1: we do that? It is a well oiled machine. When

872
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,560
Speaker 1: they show up. The food is on time, is on point,

873
00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:18,120
Speaker 1: the facilities are on point. Everything is in close proximity.

874
00:40:19,400 --> 00:40:22,400
Speaker 1: You know, you don't have anybody asking like where do

875
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:23,759
Speaker 1: I go for this? What do I do for this?

876
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: You know, they they've got it all set up. They've

877
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,840
Speaker 1: got a lot of veteran people who've been there for

878
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:31,040
Speaker 1: a number of years who have you know, got everybody

879
00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:36,400
Speaker 1: squared away. It just runs really, really smoothly. Crowd control,

880
00:40:36,760 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: the interests and egress, all of that stuff, the seating

881
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,920
Speaker 1: all it's just all soup to nuts. It's just well

882
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:48,040
Speaker 1: oiled machine. And that's for you and I I think

883
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 1: we notice it in time to take it for granted sometimes,

884
00:40:50,719 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 1: but man oh man, they've and I said it too,

885
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 1: I said, I have a hard time seeing if as

886
00:40:56,440 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 1: long as they get value out of going away, there's

887
00:40:58,360 --> 00:41:00,400
Speaker 1: no place else they're gonna go. It's great. Yeah, and

888
00:41:00,480 --> 00:41:02,040
Speaker 1: we thank all of those folks at Fisher and all

889
00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,800
Speaker 1: the people in Rochester so good to us over the

890
00:41:03,920 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. All Right, if you're watching tonight's game,

891
00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,360
Speaker 1: we assume you are coming into game hopefully or watching

892
00:41:09,400 --> 00:41:11,520
Speaker 1: on TV, maybe listening on the radio. Who are you

893
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:13,280
Speaker 1: keeping an eye on? Who are you watching? The closest

894
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:15,279
Speaker 1: on the Bills tonight when they take on the Colts.

895
00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,640
Speaker 1: Phone lines open eight oh three oh five fifty toll

896
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,960
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

897
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 1: and let's take a call from Jordan and Amherst. Go ahead, Jordan,

898
00:41:24,080 --> 00:41:25,400
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. You're on the air with us.

899
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: All right, all right, people to watch here is probably

900
00:41:32,239 --> 00:41:38,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and Cole Beasley. You mean individually or together together? Yeah?

901
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: Good point. Tell me why Jordan starting They're both going

902
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,560
Speaker 1: to be starting together. Cole Beasley teared it up in Dallas.

903
00:41:44,920 --> 00:41:48,279
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott was probably as good as a quarterback as

904
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,879
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but Josh Allen has a better arm. Yeah,

905
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,799
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley, especially if linebackers are playing up on him,

906
00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,359
Speaker 1: he should be able to torch him easily, be able

907
00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,680
Speaker 1: to get some yards and Gold definitely score on them,

908
00:42:01,800 --> 00:42:04,480
Speaker 1: especially because Andrew Luxe injured too, so that's a defect

909
00:42:04,560 --> 00:42:07,640
Speaker 1: for the Cold. Good point, Jordan, Stephen. Jordan makes a

910
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: good point, And look, if they're out there, which they

911
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 1: will be, it'll probably be a quarter or less for

912
00:42:13,160 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: those two, Josh Allen and Cole Beasley. But they are

913
00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,239
Speaker 1: in the trust the process, right, They are in the

914
00:42:19,320 --> 00:42:21,920
Speaker 1: process of building the kind of chemistry that they're going

915
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: to need this season. Now it's a it's not a

916
00:42:25,160 --> 00:42:28,239
Speaker 1: completed project yet and Cold missed most, if not all,

917
00:42:28,280 --> 00:42:31,000
Speaker 1: of the spring workouts. But I think Jordan is onto

918
00:42:31,040 --> 00:42:33,440
Speaker 1: something here, a chance to go against an opponent and

919
00:42:33,560 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: see what they can do chemistry wise, those two and

920
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:38,480
Speaker 1: the kind of adjustments that they're going to have to

921
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:41,279
Speaker 1: make to each other, the kind of non verbal communication,

922
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,400
Speaker 1: you know, Cole Beasley letting Josh know where he's going

923
00:42:44,440 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: to be, what kind of route he's gonna run tonight,

924
00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: is a step forward in that direction. I think. Yeah.

925
00:42:48,360 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: I think of it like this. The last two ten

926
00:42:50,680 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 1: practices or twelve practices they had in training camp where

927
00:42:53,840 --> 00:42:55,560
Speaker 1: they were on the field together a lot, and they

928
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: started throwing the football regularly to each other with some

929
00:42:58,360 --> 00:43:02,600
Speaker 1: deep defenders in the facinity and running hard routes, Josh

930
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:04,399
Speaker 1: dropping back and getting the rid of the ball on time.

931
00:43:04,480 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 1: That's for me, and put it in these terms. That's

932
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,640
Speaker 1: where now they know what the assignments are. They know

933
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,880
Speaker 1: where Cole's supposed to line up, where he's supposed to go,

934
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:15,040
Speaker 1: what route he's gonna run. All of this stuff. Now

935
00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: in this game and in next week in Carolina, they're

936
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,080
Speaker 1: gonna do it. See if they can do all that

937
00:43:21,239 --> 00:43:25,840
Speaker 1: stuff when the heat's on, when there's guys rushing the passer,

938
00:43:25,920 --> 00:43:28,279
Speaker 1: when they're when Colby's is gonna get tackled at the

939
00:43:28,360 --> 00:43:30,360
Speaker 1: end of this catch, when there's a guy trying to

940
00:43:30,440 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 1: defend him hard, when his job's on the line. Now

941
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna do it when maybe they have to improvise

942
00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:38,640
Speaker 1: a round a guy who can really play some defense,

943
00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:40,840
Speaker 1: or who jumps a route. How are they going to

944
00:43:40,920 --> 00:43:43,120
Speaker 1: react to that? And when they see each other do

945
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:47,279
Speaker 1: some things that are unrehearsed and they can make it work,

946
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:50,600
Speaker 1: that's when you take another step forward. When they start

947
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:54,399
Speaker 1: to anticipate each other when something when the defense gets

948
00:43:54,400 --> 00:43:56,560
Speaker 1: them a little bit. Yeah, that's the kind of next

949
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,160
Speaker 1: step they're gonna take in games like tonight and next

950
00:43:59,200 --> 00:44:01,799
Speaker 1: week in Carolina, and in Caroline on the next game

951
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,320
Speaker 1: and on through the preseason. That's the next step for

952
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: these guys. It'll be interesting to watch and you can't

953
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 1: tell what they're saying, but I would imagine that when

954
00:44:09,520 --> 00:44:12,120
Speaker 1: they're playing Josh Allen and Cole Beasley tonight and through

955
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,880
Speaker 1: the games you talked about coming off the field, in

956
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,839
Speaker 1: between plays on the sidelines, they're gonna be talking. They're

957
00:44:17,880 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 1: gonna be saying, hey, did you see this? Yes, when

958
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 1: I say that, I'm gonna do this, Okay, I'll look

959
00:44:21,640 --> 00:44:24,160
Speaker 1: for that, right. I mean, the dialogue is critical for

960
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:26,680
Speaker 1: those two in particular. Absolutely. Here's the thing too. You

961
00:44:26,760 --> 00:44:29,719
Speaker 1: gotta remember, Josh gonna have a ton on his plate.

962
00:44:30,480 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 1: Not only they gonna have that play with Cole, and

963
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:36,319
Speaker 1: they'll talk about that. They may say something, right then, Josh,

964
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:38,200
Speaker 1: he come out of that harder, or come out of

965
00:44:38,239 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: that sharp, or come out of he may say something

966
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: like that. But if between the series, when they come

967
00:44:44,560 --> 00:44:46,480
Speaker 1: off the field after that series or whatever, they may

968
00:44:46,560 --> 00:44:49,680
Speaker 1: say something else or whatever. But there's also gonna be

969
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:51,600
Speaker 1: three other guys that need to talk to Josh too

970
00:44:51,600 --> 00:44:53,239
Speaker 1: about the route they run, that kind of thing. So,

971
00:44:53,800 --> 00:44:56,759
Speaker 1: and I remember this specifically with Jim Kelly when we're

972
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:59,240
Speaker 1: in they're in the midst of it, and I played

973
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:01,960
Speaker 1: for a minute late in my career. You'll have a

974
00:45:02,040 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: conversation with him, But there are sometimes you can't get

975
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,479
Speaker 1: back to it until Monday, you know. Then you watch

976
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: it on film and then you talk about it and say,

977
00:45:10,000 --> 00:45:11,759
Speaker 1: here's what I was saying, and here's where I got

978
00:45:11,800 --> 00:45:13,320
Speaker 1: to where I was going, and you have an extended

979
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: conversation about it. Now you will talk about it on

980
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 1: the field and it'll help. But as a receiver, you

981
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,200
Speaker 1: have to know the court list and the quarterbacks. Got

982
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:26,320
Speaker 1: eight other guys that he's got to talk to, including

983
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator, the quarterbacks coach, and his backup quarterback.

984
00:45:29,520 --> 00:45:31,919
Speaker 1: They got, and they got they're thinking forward. They can't

985
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:33,480
Speaker 1: go back and talk about a play that you want

986
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,600
Speaker 1: to get off your chest. You know a problem you

987
00:45:35,719 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 1: had in one of the plays you had. He's got

988
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,759
Speaker 1: he's got stuff on his plate right now. We'll get

989
00:45:39,800 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: to it later, you know. Let's go. So there's that

990
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: kind of urgency in a game where the quarterback can't

991
00:45:44,239 --> 00:45:47,000
Speaker 1: take time to talk to a you know, to a

992
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,200
Speaker 1: slum dog like me. You know, he's got he's got

993
00:45:49,239 --> 00:45:51,839
Speaker 1: important things to do, right, So there's a little bit

994
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,320
Speaker 1: of that going on. But there's always time in the

995
00:45:55,480 --> 00:45:57,560
Speaker 1: in the film study afterwards where they'll get into a

996
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:00,879
Speaker 1: deep conversation and the coordinator will be there, Tony. He'll say, well, yeah,

997
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:03,000
Speaker 1: here and if we're going to do that, then what

998
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,080
Speaker 1: we'll do is and we're gonna put this play in.

999
00:46:06,120 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna put a different route, and we want you

1000
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:09,200
Speaker 1: to run this, and we're gonna put that. You know,

1001
00:46:09,280 --> 00:46:12,439
Speaker 1: they'll they'll start to evolve the offense around the way

1002
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:17,000
Speaker 1: the two of these guys think, and they'll install little

1003
00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,960
Speaker 1: rules of thumb so that all the rest of them

1004
00:46:20,040 --> 00:46:22,800
Speaker 1: come us guys like me, like I would learn what

1005
00:46:22,960 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 1: Andre adjusted and Jim adjusted to do, so when I

1006
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 1: get in there, I do it like Andre did it. Yeah,

1007
00:46:27,520 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 1: you know, all that goes into this um it's it's

1008
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,080
Speaker 1: I know, it's a lot of a lot of verbiage

1009
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:35,480
Speaker 1: just to talk about a little conversation might happen between

1010
00:46:35,520 --> 00:46:37,320
Speaker 1: a quarterback and a player. But that's the kind of

1011
00:46:37,320 --> 00:46:40,759
Speaker 1: community when they guys talk about communication, that's that's one

1012
00:46:40,920 --> 00:46:44,600
Speaker 1: part of a football team's communication that never gets really

1013
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 1: thought about. One last question. We're almost at the break here,

1014
00:46:48,040 --> 00:46:51,360
Speaker 1: because because of the nature of the slot receiver, is

1015
00:46:51,480 --> 00:46:53,759
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley the most critical one that needs to have

1016
00:46:53,880 --> 00:46:56,840
Speaker 1: that sort of communication with the quarterback or to the

1017
00:46:56,920 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 1: others count too? I think so, But that was my

1018
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:03,280
Speaker 1: experience because the slot guy tends to have more choices

1019
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,200
Speaker 1: when he takes off. There's more things that are going

1020
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,480
Speaker 1: to change his route after the ball is snapped, so

1021
00:47:08,640 --> 00:47:11,520
Speaker 1: they really have to do it without talk, and they

1022
00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,719
Speaker 1: got to see the defense. And when Cole Beasley breaks

1023
00:47:14,760 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 1: away from the defender, Josh knows what angle he's coming

1024
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:18,920
Speaker 1: at it, if he's gonna come out hard or is

1025
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:20,759
Speaker 1: he just gonna turn around, is he gonna is he

1026
00:47:20,800 --> 00:47:23,439
Speaker 1: gonna break to the sideline or is he gonna fake

1027
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:26,200
Speaker 1: to the sideline and go down the seam. So all

1028
00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:28,680
Speaker 1: these adjustments happen after the ball is snapped, depending on

1029
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:31,360
Speaker 1: what the defense does or the defender does, and the

1030
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 1: quarterback and receiver have to do it and see it

1031
00:47:33,600 --> 00:47:36,560
Speaker 1: the same way. So yeah, and the slot receiver tends

1032
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: to have those choices more than anybody else because he

1033
00:47:39,400 --> 00:47:43,840
Speaker 1: has more inside and outside options. You know, outside receivers

1034
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,839
Speaker 1: can't go out that far because it's the sidelines there, right.

1035
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:50,520
Speaker 1: The interior guy, the slot guy can go right, he

1036
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:53,120
Speaker 1: can go left, and he can go deep, or he

1037
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:54,640
Speaker 1: can turn around and come right back to the line

1038
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:57,040
Speaker 1: of scrimmage, that kind of thing. So, yeah, because there's

1039
00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 1: so many more options for the interior guy, they get

1040
00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,759
Speaker 1: to choose and you know, yeah, they've got to talk

1041
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 1: to the quarterback more because there's more things going on

1042
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 1: in there, so there's more space to move. Yeah. Hey,

1043
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about the Colts when we return. We

1044
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,560
Speaker 1: will pick up this conversation as well. Who you're watching

1045
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,719
Speaker 1: the closest on the Bills as they get set to

1046
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:18,720
Speaker 1: play the Colts and the Indianapolis Colts playoff team playoff

1047
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:21,279
Speaker 1: they want a playoff game last year. We'll talk with

1048
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 1: Matt Taylor. They're played by play Man. When we come

1049
00:48:23,480 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: back on the show next hour. Why don't you join

Speaker 1: they played last year in Week seven, where the Colts

1057
00:48:58,360 --> 00:49:00,759
Speaker 1: buried the Bills thirty seven to five. Tonight won't be

1058
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:03,600
Speaker 1: anything like that. You would not think Bill's starters you

1059
00:49:03,680 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: expected to go into the first quarter. Head coach Sean

1098
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 1: about training camp, doing all those shows. What do we

1099
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:57,960
Speaker 1: do eight You're outdoors, You're working outdoors in the summer.

1100
00:50:58,040 --> 00:51:00,120
Speaker 1: Come on, man, It's true. Great, it was true. It

1101
00:51:00,160 --> 00:51:03,000
Speaker 1: was great. Atmosphere. It's fun too, because even though we

1102
00:51:03,160 --> 00:51:06,400
Speaker 1: our show started about I don't know twenty fifteen, twenty

1103
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,279
Speaker 1: twenty five minutes after practice was over, there's still people

1104
00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:11,880
Speaker 1: buzzing around and there were still autographs going on. A

1105
00:51:11,920 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: lot of people just you know, excited about the you know,

1106
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:18,160
Speaker 1: watching the practice. And it's kind of a nice buzz

1107
00:51:18,480 --> 00:51:21,600
Speaker 1: going on, not like you know, our little man cave

1108
00:51:21,680 --> 00:51:24,399
Speaker 1: we've got here, right, we are all isolated here. I'll

1109
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:26,160
Speaker 1: tell you what. The one thing I picked up on

1110
00:51:26,320 --> 00:51:29,200
Speaker 1: from even the eight days we were there nine and

1111
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,919
Speaker 1: all was the enthusiasm of the fans. It's a little

1112
00:51:32,080 --> 00:51:34,320
Speaker 1: it's it's on an upticks even it's because of i

1113
00:51:34,400 --> 00:51:37,239
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen, because of the offseason moves they've made,

1114
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 1: because of the fact there were only what nine open

1115
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:43,520
Speaker 1: practices for fans, nine or ten open practices for fans.

1116
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,560
Speaker 1: All the practices were crowded, There were big crowds. We've

1117
00:51:46,760 --> 00:51:48,040
Speaker 1: there have been days out there when there were in

1118
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:49,480
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people out there over the years.

1119
00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:52,040
Speaker 1: Not this year. It was packed. The stands were packed

1120
00:51:52,120 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: virtually every workout on both side the home field, the

1121
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:57,040
Speaker 1: home side and the little speechers they had on the

1122
00:51:57,080 --> 00:51:59,840
Speaker 1: little visitings that they practiced mostly on the track and

1123
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,239
Speaker 1: field facility there at Saint John Fisher's a natural grass

1124
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,680
Speaker 1: The football team at Saint John Fisher plays on turf,

1125
00:52:06,160 --> 00:52:08,520
Speaker 1: which is on the other side. There's two fields side

1126
00:52:08,560 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 1: by side. They didn't practice on that very much at all,

1127
00:52:10,680 --> 00:52:14,640
Speaker 1: if if at all, this preseason this man, this training camp,

1128
00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: they did it all in the grass field and it's

1129
00:52:16,680 --> 00:52:19,000
Speaker 1: got the track there and they had a little the

1130
00:52:19,160 --> 00:52:22,560
Speaker 1: stand at portable stands on the far side packed all

1131
00:52:22,560 --> 00:52:24,560
Speaker 1: the way across the field, the ones and the home

1132
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,520
Speaker 1: side packed, I mean, and then there were people around

1133
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,239
Speaker 1: the fences all the way around the ends of the

1134
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:35,719
Speaker 1: field every day, every practice. It was something, And you're right.

1135
00:52:36,400 --> 00:52:40,560
Speaker 1: I detected a higher level of enthusiasm than in years past.

1136
00:52:40,680 --> 00:52:42,719
Speaker 1: And maybe it was because there's more people. I don't know,

1137
00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:45,200
Speaker 1: but certainly there's more interest and I think more optimism.

1138
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:47,959
Speaker 1: Who are you looking the closest at on the Bills?

1139
00:52:48,000 --> 00:52:50,439
Speaker 1: Who are you watching the closest on the Bills roster

1140
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 1: as they played this preseason game number one? Give us

1141
00:52:53,160 --> 00:52:54,759
Speaker 1: a call. We'd love to discuss with the eight oh

1142
00:52:54,840 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 1: three five fifty and toll free one eight eight five

1143
00:52:58,120 --> 00:53:01,239
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty lines open right now, we have

1144
00:53:01,320 --> 00:53:03,560
Speaker 1: tweets to read from the tweet sheet brought to you

1145
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,399
Speaker 1: by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the Buffalo Bills.

1146
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,280
Speaker 1: From the tweet sheet from Matt, Who you're watching the closest?

1147
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 1: Matt says, looking forward to watching to see who can

1148
00:53:12,120 --> 00:53:14,399
Speaker 1: force the team to keep them on the fifty three

1149
00:53:14,440 --> 00:53:18,360
Speaker 1: because they can't risk putting them on practice squad. In particular,

1150
00:53:18,440 --> 00:53:21,239
Speaker 1: he says he's watching Darryl Johnson, Buffalo seventh round pick

1151
00:53:21,480 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 1: from North Carolina A and T. I was watching Darrell

1152
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,040
Speaker 1: Johnson a couple of times over the last week or

1153
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:29,960
Speaker 1: two at camp. He's a physical specimen in this way, Steve.

1154
00:53:30,040 --> 00:53:32,920
Speaker 1: He's so long, right, I'm looking at his he's six

1155
00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:36,360
Speaker 1: six two fifty three and he looks thin quite frankly.

1156
00:53:36,480 --> 00:53:39,319
Speaker 1: But he's playing defensive and he's sort of the new

1157
00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:43,680
Speaker 1: prototype of defensive end. He's long, extremely long legs, extremely

1158
00:53:43,840 --> 00:53:46,520
Speaker 1: long arms. A guy who can drop, you know, back

1159
00:53:46,560 --> 00:53:49,040
Speaker 1: into coverage a little bit and just be, you know,

1160
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,719
Speaker 1: be a terror in passes the defense. A guy who

1161
00:53:52,760 --> 00:53:54,480
Speaker 1: can probably rush the pass where he did a lot

1162
00:53:54,520 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: of that at North Carolina. At I don't know if

1163
00:53:56,520 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 1: he's gonna make the fifty three. He's a seventh round pick,

1164
00:53:58,920 --> 00:54:01,320
Speaker 1: but I think on Twitter, Matt is right. He's a

1165
00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,359
Speaker 1: guy to keep an eye on as this game goes along.

1166
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,640
Speaker 1: Look for number ninety two, seventh round draft pick, Darryl Johnson.

1167
00:54:06,680 --> 00:54:09,800
Speaker 1: There are people ahead of him, obviously, Shack Lawson, Trent Murphy,

1168
00:54:09,920 --> 00:54:13,680
Speaker 1: Jerry Hughes, Mike Love, Eddie yarbro Um. You know, I

1169
00:54:13,719 --> 00:54:16,040
Speaker 1: would say each one of those names I just mentioned

1170
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,879
Speaker 1: mentioned is ahead of Daryl Johnson on the depth chard.

1171
00:54:19,960 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: But you know, stuff happens in games. If you show

1172
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:25,759
Speaker 1: out any game, stuff happened, right. Yeah, he's he's built

1173
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:28,680
Speaker 1: like an NBA power for Yeah, is long and lean.

1174
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:35,680
Speaker 1: I'll say this though, Murph, the guy can cover kicks. Really,

1175
00:54:35,680 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 1: I didn't see him. Yeah, I was watching him play

1176
00:54:37,719 --> 00:54:40,800
Speaker 1: and I was talking. I was talking to Heath Farwell.

1177
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:42,840
Speaker 1: I was watching him and I was watching him in

1178
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,480
Speaker 1: the Beyond Blue and Red scrimmage where they had some

1179
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: live competition trying to go down and cover kicks and stuff.

1180
00:54:49,840 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: Uh my guy, Daryl Johnson. Johnson can can run. He

1181
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:55,120
Speaker 1: can run and he can cover some ground. He's long,

1182
00:54:55,680 --> 00:55:03,080
Speaker 1: as you said, and he seemed enthusiastic trying to getting

1183
00:55:03,120 --> 00:55:05,279
Speaker 1: ready to cover kicks and stuff like that. So that

1184
00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 1: to me was well. In the drill I saw he

1185
00:55:08,239 --> 00:55:12,680
Speaker 1: was doing punts. That's big and a guy, a young

1186
00:55:12,800 --> 00:55:14,560
Speaker 1: kid who like that, who can give him something, a

1187
00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:17,000
Speaker 1: little something on the rotation of the D line, plus

1188
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,880
Speaker 1: give him some length, and who's willing to play special

1189
00:55:19,960 --> 00:55:22,040
Speaker 1: teams with what I saw, the enthusiasm I saw in

1190
00:55:22,120 --> 00:55:23,719
Speaker 1: the effort he was putting forth in the drills that

1191
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:26,640
Speaker 1: I saw and have watched during training camp. That's a

1192
00:55:26,719 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 1: leg up for him. That's a leg up for him

1193
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,239
Speaker 1: because he's physically as gifted as any of the guys

1194
00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 1: you mentioned at back up line back or you know,

1195
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:37,000
Speaker 1: the Eddie Yarbros and all those guys. Shack Lawson. I

1196
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:40,000
Speaker 1: don't know if he's not covering any kicks my love

1197
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:42,520
Speaker 1: those special teams my glove does he does it pretty well.

1198
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,360
Speaker 1: But if you've got another guy like that, uh in

1199
00:55:45,560 --> 00:55:48,759
Speaker 1: Daryl Johnson, that's a huge plus for him, I think,

1200
00:55:48,840 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: And I saw it with my own eyes, and I

1201
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:51,919
Speaker 1: don't know if that's going to be the difference maker

1202
00:55:52,000 --> 00:55:54,440
Speaker 1: for him, but certainly it's in his favor. Another tweet,

1203
00:55:54,440 --> 00:55:56,200
Speaker 1: and this one is about special teams, and we've got

1204
00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:58,560
Speaker 1: the special teams expert here to talk about it. From

1205
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 1: the tweet, cheat from James, who are you watching closely

1206
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:03,919
Speaker 1: tonight for the Bills against Indy? James says, I'm gonna

1207
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: be watching the special teams hoping one of these punters shines.

1208
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 1: Its gonna be watching to see if someone really starts

1209
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 1: to shine on special teams. We all know that's where

1210
00:56:12,239 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: some guys are gonna be able to stick around. Super

1211
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,600
Speaker 1: Pump for football, Go Buffalo. The punters are gonna alternate,

1212
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,960
Speaker 1: right according to a Sean McDermott with Well, Harkez and Carter,

1213
00:56:21,080 --> 00:56:24,000
Speaker 1: the two quarries alternate punts tonight, So keep an eye

1214
00:56:24,040 --> 00:56:26,799
Speaker 1: on that. Yep, They're gonna every other punt, no matter

1215
00:56:26,880 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 1: what it is. So it could be that by Orchas

1216
00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:32,400
Speaker 1: gets every punt that you got to let loose. You know,

1217
00:56:32,480 --> 00:56:34,160
Speaker 1: he may may be punting out of his own end

1218
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:35,880
Speaker 1: all night and the other guy may be punting, you know,

1219
00:56:36,080 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: the Ausie kicks inside the tent every all night. But

1220
00:56:39,120 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna alternate everyone. I think that's it's an interesting

1221
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:44,120
Speaker 1: because that we've gotten a lot of this, particularly from

1222
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, where the special teams that they've been doing.

1223
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:48,960
Speaker 1: I think this is a little bit of Heath Farwell's

1224
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:52,040
Speaker 1: philosophy and I like it a lot. They're gonna get

1225
00:56:52,840 --> 00:56:56,680
Speaker 1: special teams sprinkled throughout practice and it has forced the

1226
00:56:56,800 --> 00:57:01,800
Speaker 1: young punters and the kickers with Houshka and McLoughlin that

1227
00:57:01,960 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 1: it's forced them to stay ready all the time. So

1228
00:57:05,600 --> 00:57:07,319
Speaker 1: they got to stay warm, They got to spend their

1229
00:57:07,320 --> 00:57:09,279
Speaker 1: time on the sidelines kicking into the net. They gotta

1230
00:57:09,280 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 1: get some punts off down the sidelines. They gotta stay warm,

1231
00:57:11,680 --> 00:57:13,600
Speaker 1: stay loose, so that at any moment they blow the

1232
00:57:13,680 --> 00:57:16,400
Speaker 1: whistle and say, okay, punt team, let's go. Those guys

1233
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:18,960
Speaker 1: got to get out there and be ready to perform,

1234
00:57:19,240 --> 00:57:20,920
Speaker 1: just like they do in a game. You never know

1235
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: when that's going to happen, particularly place kickers. Uh, you know,

1236
00:57:24,120 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 1: you never know when you're gonna be asked to perform

1237
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 1: on the field. So they sprinkled it inside the practices

1238
00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:34,080
Speaker 1: throughout camp so that these guys had to be engaged

1239
00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:36,560
Speaker 1: with what was going on all the time during practice.

1240
00:57:36,960 --> 00:57:39,440
Speaker 1: And that's something that I have never seen a team do.

1241
00:57:40,400 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 1: I credit Heath Farwell with it, and also with Sean McDermott,

1242
00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:46,600
Speaker 1: who mentioned it to us yesterday in our production meeting,

1243
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:49,040
Speaker 1: that they've had they've kind of kept these guys on

1244
00:57:49,120 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: their toes during practices. You know, we've all seen it.

1245
00:57:51,840 --> 00:57:55,120
Speaker 1: We've all seen it. You know, years passed. Your punters

1246
00:57:55,160 --> 00:57:56,280
Speaker 1: are over there. You know, it could be in a

1247
00:57:56,360 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 1: lawn chair. You know they're not they don't have anything

1248
00:57:58,120 --> 00:58:00,600
Speaker 1: to do until the special teams period at the into practice.

1249
00:58:00,640 --> 00:58:02,240
Speaker 1: But not not so these days. I got a punter's

1250
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: question for you Bill's punter's question. The Bills asked their

1251
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:08,000
Speaker 1: punter to be the holder too for replacement kicks and

1252
00:58:08,160 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: more teams do that now, right, I mean Frank Rake

1253
00:58:10,320 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 1: was a Bills holder when you played, and there were

1254
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 1: more backup quarterbacks. First of all, why do punters get

1255
00:58:15,600 --> 00:58:19,440
Speaker 1: that job now? Is just availability or some of it's availability,

1256
00:58:19,560 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: some of its most of it probably is availability to

1257
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 1: practice during the time the team's on the field. Those

1258
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:27,600
Speaker 1: guys can go off on their own, and they can

1259
00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 1: with a punter, snapper and holder or the kicker, snapper

1260
00:58:31,160 --> 00:58:33,240
Speaker 1: and punter then go over there and just do that

1261
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,640
Speaker 1: rep after rep after rep after rep. And you know

1262
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: this this, you know this revelation for all of us.

1263
00:58:40,320 --> 00:58:42,680
Speaker 1: The more you practice, the better you get. You know,

1264
00:58:42,760 --> 00:58:45,200
Speaker 1: if you got I held for a while as well, Yep,

1265
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 1: we had to schedule a time for me to practice,

1266
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:51,200
Speaker 1: either before or after practice or what you know, the

1267
00:58:51,320 --> 00:58:53,920
Speaker 1: punter and kicker, the punter, kick, the snapper and the

1268
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,240
Speaker 1: kicker had to come over and get me. And I

1269
00:58:57,320 --> 00:59:00,240
Speaker 1: wasn't available because I was running scout team wide receiver.

1270
00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:04,160
Speaker 1: I was running starting wide receiver whatever. So you know,

1271
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: we had to schedule it. These guys don't have to

1272
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: do that. They can go off any time they want

1273
00:59:08,400 --> 00:59:11,360
Speaker 1: during practice and get you know, fifteen or twenty reps

1274
00:59:11,400 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: in if they want. So we all know you need

1275
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,640
Speaker 1: a good punter. And the Bills have this battle that

1276
00:59:15,760 --> 00:59:18,800
Speaker 1: the guy on Twitter pointed out the quarries. But Jrkez

1277
00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:24,240
Speaker 1: and Carter? How much of a factor is holding in

1278
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:27,160
Speaker 1: that decision that roster you're gonna keep one? So I

1279
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,400
Speaker 1: was holding twenty five percent of the decision, fifty percent

1280
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:32,920
Speaker 1: of the decision maybe more, I mean points at stake

1281
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 1: for the holder. What do you think if you're if

1282
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:38,120
Speaker 1: you were a special team's coordinator, how much for your

1283
00:59:38,280 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: decision on a punter? How much would you consider his

1284
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: ability to hold? Or? Is it or and maybe this

1285
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:45,920
Speaker 1: is it? You won't like you may not like this.

1286
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:47,400
Speaker 1: It's not that hard. I was gonna say, is it's

1287
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,520
Speaker 1: so easy that what are we talking about here? It is?

1288
00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:52,080
Speaker 1: It's not easy. It's the pressure is a hard part

1289
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:55,760
Speaker 1: about it. You you mess it up, it's you, you know,

1290
00:59:56,040 --> 00:59:58,600
Speaker 1: and the whole team can put it get themselves in

1291
00:59:58,640 --> 01:00:01,000
Speaker 1: a position to win the game with a little simple

1292
01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 1: small field goal chip shot field goal and here you

1293
01:00:03,760 --> 01:00:06,439
Speaker 1: are bumbling around with a snap, having a fire call,

1294
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 1: throwing it to an offensive guard, right, you idiot? Right,

1295
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:11,800
Speaker 1: So you don't want to be that guy. Right. So

1296
01:00:12,000 --> 01:00:14,000
Speaker 1: if you do get that job, if you are the punter,

1297
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,480
Speaker 1: and you know that's going to be part of your deal,

1298
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 1: you make sure you're on it. And it's not hard.

1299
01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,120
Speaker 1: There's things you can you can learn to get better.

1300
01:00:20,200 --> 01:00:22,200
Speaker 1: You can learn techniques where to put your hands, how

1301
01:00:22,240 --> 01:00:25,880
Speaker 1: to catch the ball, what you're thinking about, and you

1302
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:29,080
Speaker 1: just gotta wrap it. And either one, anyone can, any

1303
01:00:29,200 --> 01:00:31,680
Speaker 1: reasonable punter can learn to be an effective holder. I

1304
01:00:31,720 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 1: would say so, yeah, because I don't give you. Gotta

1305
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:38,080
Speaker 1: give Heath Farwell some credit to he can coach him up. Yeah,

1306
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,520
Speaker 1: and the kicker and the punter will coach him up too.

1307
01:00:40,760 --> 01:00:43,720
Speaker 1: You know, he'll say, listen, O, this not the kitcher.

1308
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,240
Speaker 1: This not that you know the snap and the snappers.

1309
01:00:47,360 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, obviously it's more important snapper or holder. They're both.

1310
01:00:54,160 --> 01:00:56,160
Speaker 1: They're both pretty I mean, I don't know, flip a coin.

1311
01:00:56,240 --> 01:00:58,920
Speaker 1: They can both screw it up. Are these stupid questions? No?

1312
01:00:59,240 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, because that's gonna be a factor

1313
01:01:01,960 --> 01:01:04,640
Speaker 1: in this punch. Decision they have to make, right. Yeah,

1314
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, we saw by Coz it's gonna come

1315
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: down to them doing their job on the field, punting

1316
01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,080
Speaker 1: first of all, because if push comes to shove, you're

1317
01:01:14,080 --> 01:01:16,920
Speaker 1: gonna have your backup quarterback doing it or a receiver

1318
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: doing it. They'll find somebody who can do it and

1319
01:01:18,800 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: do it well, and they'll just live with it until

1320
01:01:21,840 --> 01:01:29,960
Speaker 1: something changes. But there's probably yeah, no joke, five guys

1321
01:01:30,080 --> 01:01:33,160
Speaker 1: on your team who've done it at some point in

1322
01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 1: the lower levels and probably got two or three guys

1323
01:01:35,760 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: who were also kickers, you know, Yeah, because that's the way.

1324
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:40,080
Speaker 1: That's the way, the lower level. And when you got

1325
01:01:40,080 --> 01:01:41,560
Speaker 1: a guy who's a real athlete and could do all that,

1326
01:01:41,680 --> 01:01:46,200
Speaker 1: they do it. So yeah, holding his secondary. They'd like

1327
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,919
Speaker 1: to have the guy do it in a perfect world,

1328
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: but if he can't do it or they don't feel confident,

1329
01:01:49,880 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 1: if they're gonna find somebody on the roster like Cole

1330
01:01:51,760 --> 01:01:54,560
Speaker 1: Beasley to do it. Yeah, you know, got a breakcare.

1331
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 1: We're coming back with more. One Bill Side presented by

Speaker 1: So we do about forty fields a year. We're I

1348
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,000
Speaker 1: kind of liken us to being like a boutique hotel

1349
01:02:53,080 --> 01:02:55,440
Speaker 1: that's always full of rooms, you know. I mean, we

1350
01:02:55,840 --> 01:02:57,560
Speaker 1: we do very well, but we don't want to be

1351
01:02:57,640 --> 01:02:59,640
Speaker 1: the biggest. We want to be the best. You had

1352
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 1: had some questions for you when he first came in

1353
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:03,680
Speaker 1: and is sorry if I ask you about the ends, Okay,

1355
01:03:06,360 --> 01:03:08,560
Speaker 1: gonna see tonight. And you know when whenever they put

1356
01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 1: stuff like this in home crowd sees it every week,

1357
01:03:12,520 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 1: they got opinions about it. You know, there's blue end

1358
01:03:14,920 --> 01:03:17,400
Speaker 1: zones in this field, and it's it's the same as

1359
01:03:17,440 --> 01:03:20,000
Speaker 1: it replaced. It took out blue zones as you put

1360
01:03:20,040 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 1: blue en zones down. Who chooses all that? And what

1361
01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 1: and how much choice do they have when they pick

1362
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,320
Speaker 1: a field? I know the stripes. They don't get to

1363
01:03:27,360 --> 01:03:30,680
Speaker 1: pick d good questions. See, they have a lot of choice.

1364
01:03:30,760 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: It's a decision that's made by the Buffalo Bill's authorities.

1365
01:03:34,240 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 1: We show them different renditions and they pick and choose.

1366
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:39,880
Speaker 1: So they wanted the blue end zones. I know there

1367
01:03:39,960 --> 01:03:41,919
Speaker 1: was a lot of sentiment out there are people wanting

1368
01:03:41,960 --> 01:03:44,720
Speaker 1: red end zones. I don't know. My personal opinion is

1369
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:47,000
Speaker 1: a long time Bills fan, is that we won a

1370
01:03:47,040 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 1: lot with red end zones and not a whole bunch

1371
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 1: with blue. But other than that, the blue looks really,

1372
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,680
Speaker 1: really nice and that's what they chose to go with.

1373
01:03:56,200 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: So we have a newer version of what was out there.

1374
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 1: And you know this Jim Party consider is a TV

1375
01:04:01,040 --> 01:04:03,040
Speaker 1: right and the league has kind of requirements of what

1376
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,880
Speaker 1: it has to look like on TV. Absolutely. Yeah, So

1377
01:04:06,040 --> 01:04:10,120
Speaker 1: the league has definitely has rules and regulations, and the

1378
01:04:10,280 --> 01:04:13,120
Speaker 1: bill's authorities knows what you know, what they are. We

1379
01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:16,240
Speaker 1: follow in line. And I asked you a question as

1380
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: well when you come out the field and we walked

1381
01:04:18,800 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 1: on it for the Blue and Red return of the

1382
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:22,560
Speaker 1: Blue and Red practice the first time they used it,

1383
01:04:22,960 --> 01:04:27,800
Speaker 1: and we've seen it on our show up there. I

1384
01:04:27,920 --> 01:04:30,240
Speaker 1: was surprised at how many choices they have when you

1385
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:33,000
Speaker 1: buy a field like this. Now I've noticed and you

1386
01:04:33,080 --> 01:04:35,320
Speaker 1: know when natural grass, when they mow it, it leaves

1387
01:04:35,360 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: stripes on the field, and they mow it in such

1388
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,000
Speaker 1: a way, so there's a design and you your turf

1389
01:04:40,120 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: that you installed. There are strips where it looks green

1390
01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,080
Speaker 1: and then it looks like they mowed the grass the

1391
01:04:46,200 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 1: other direction in the next ten yards. That kind of

1392
01:04:48,520 --> 01:04:50,640
Speaker 1: that's all choice, that's all choice, that's all part of

1393
01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 1: the design that those are the things that you can

1394
01:04:52,320 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: do to make it look special. Jim dot Meyer, our guests,

1395
01:04:55,160 --> 01:04:57,640
Speaker 1: founder president of eight Turf, Western Yard company that has

1396
01:04:57,640 --> 01:05:00,000
Speaker 1: put in the new field. How old was the old field?

1397
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:02,440
Speaker 1: It was right? The old field was John it was,

1398
01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:05,360
Speaker 1: it was eight years old. Our typical fields last fourteen

1399
01:05:05,440 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 1: years in the high school and collegiate market. The NFL

1400
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:11,280
Speaker 1: has some different standards. It was actually the oldest of

1401
01:05:11,360 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: the twelve synthetic fields that are at NFL stadiums across

1402
01:05:14,600 --> 01:05:16,520
Speaker 1: the country. And what happens to a field that's wearing

1403
01:05:16,600 --> 01:05:19,040
Speaker 1: out a little bit, eight, ten, twelve years? How would

1404
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:21,080
Speaker 1: you notice? Well, you didn't see it on the one

1405
01:05:21,080 --> 01:05:22,760
Speaker 1: that we just replaced, because really it was still in

1406
01:05:22,800 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: great condition. But you'll see it through fiber, were some

1407
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:29,280
Speaker 1: fiber loss, maybe some some seams that need attention, and

1408
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,320
Speaker 1: you know, it just gets that older. Look if you will.

1409
01:05:32,440 --> 01:05:35,480
Speaker 1: Interesting to me, you said that there are ten fields

1410
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:39,040
Speaker 1: in the NFL level twelve fields in the NFL that

1411
01:05:39,120 --> 01:05:40,960
Speaker 1: are synthetic. The rest of them are all grass. That's

1412
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,840
Speaker 1: that's surprising team yea, how many of those are turf?

1413
01:05:43,960 --> 01:05:45,920
Speaker 1: I mean not? No, I'm sorry. How many of those

1414
01:05:46,120 --> 01:05:50,760
Speaker 1: twelve are domed stadiums? Um off the top of my head, Steve,

1415
01:05:50,840 --> 01:05:53,440
Speaker 1: I would say probably three or four, but I didn't

1416
01:05:53,440 --> 01:05:57,080
Speaker 1: memorize that quite honestly. Question about I want to get

1417
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: back to our field in a second year gym, But

1418
01:05:59,640 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: I see what Arizona. Does they grow the grass outside

1419
01:06:02,880 --> 01:06:04,600
Speaker 1: and bringing in at somebody. I think he's Vegas going

1420
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 1: to do that that I read maybe you know, I

1421
01:06:06,360 --> 01:06:08,320
Speaker 1: read something about that. I don't know if they've decided

1422
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,600
Speaker 1: that yet. That's it works, It works in Arizona. It

1423
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:15,640
Speaker 1: just seems to me incredibly elaborate and probably very expensive

1424
01:06:15,720 --> 01:06:18,840
Speaker 1: to do that, right, I agree, very expensive for sure,

1425
01:06:19,560 --> 01:06:24,120
Speaker 1: only can be done in certain climates. Obviously, and from

1426
01:06:24,160 --> 01:06:26,439
Speaker 1: our perspective, maybe a little bit more work than it's worth.

1427
01:06:26,880 --> 01:06:28,840
Speaker 1: Is this year only NFL field out here? This is

1428
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: our only NFL field. Thanks Following in the are you

1429
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:33,640
Speaker 1: said how important it is to you to have this field? Is?

1430
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:36,400
Speaker 1: It really is? It's a showcase field for us. We

1431
01:06:36,600 --> 01:06:40,240
Speaker 1: have the luxury of being locally based and being able

1432
01:06:40,280 --> 01:06:42,840
Speaker 1: to show clients, whether they're from the western New York area,

1433
01:06:42,920 --> 01:06:45,360
Speaker 1: which has been very good to us, or anywhere around

1434
01:06:45,360 --> 01:06:48,360
Speaker 1: the country. We will fly people in. Haven't go to

1435
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,760
Speaker 1: a game. The Bills people have been very kind to

1436
01:06:51,880 --> 01:06:53,760
Speaker 1: us along us. They have people walk the field and

1437
01:06:54,400 --> 01:06:56,120
Speaker 1: we try to close the deal, and we do pretty

1438
01:06:56,120 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: well when we get to show in this field. Right,

1439
01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: And some of the things that like tonight you're going

1440
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:01,000
Speaker 1: to be at the game, you're gonna be like, you know,

1441
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure you're gonna have like a close eye on it. Yeah,

1442
01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:07,920
Speaker 1: it's kind of like, you know, unveiling a really important

1443
01:07:07,920 --> 01:07:10,160
Speaker 1: project for your for your company. It is Steve, It's

1444
01:07:10,200 --> 01:07:12,640
Speaker 1: it's it's very important. One thing we pay attention to,

1445
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 1: h you know, very very closely, especially us that obviously

1446
01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:19,480
Speaker 1: at a much different level. We're all most of us

1447
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:23,200
Speaker 1: are athletes. We pay attention to the surface footing. That

1448
01:07:23,400 --> 01:07:25,040
Speaker 1: is huge. That's the most important thing. You don't want

1449
01:07:25,040 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 1: to see guys slipping in front. Absolutely, you want them

1450
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 1: to go down for the right reasons. Right, we can

1451
01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:32,600
Speaker 1: see the field, everybody will see it tonight. Tell me

1452
01:07:32,680 --> 01:07:35,320
Speaker 1: what's under the field and what work went into what

1453
01:07:35,560 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: goes underneath the field. We kind of fottled it from afar.

1454
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,120
Speaker 1: We got those stationary cameras inside the stadium, and I

1455
01:07:42,120 --> 01:07:43,880
Speaker 1: don't know if you watch the show, but all through

1456
01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,920
Speaker 1: the installation period we're like, oh, they're appeeling this part up,

1457
01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:48,920
Speaker 1: Oh they're taking this out. Oh now they're putting something in.

1458
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,440
Speaker 1: What's underneath that? Yeah, exactly, I'll give you kind of

1459
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:54,320
Speaker 1: from the bottoms up perspective to other there's an asphalt

1460
01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 1: that's been there a long time. Some of that was

1461
01:07:56,360 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: in need of repair. That was one of the reasons

1462
01:07:58,160 --> 01:08:01,760
Speaker 1: why they recently replaced it. On top of the asphalt

1463
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 1: is called an elastic rubber layer. So it's paved in

1464
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:08,920
Speaker 1: sight with a specialized uh paver that you would use

1465
01:08:08,960 --> 01:08:11,360
Speaker 1: on a running track. Okay, so it's maybe an inch

1466
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 1: and a half, sorry, a little little thinner than that,

1467
01:08:14,040 --> 01:08:16,599
Speaker 1: about an inch deck. So the rubber material, and then

1468
01:08:16,640 --> 01:08:18,519
Speaker 1: you have the carpet, and then the carpet is like

1469
01:08:18,880 --> 01:08:22,720
Speaker 1: a tartan track rice track. Yeah, underneath on top of

1470
01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:25,559
Speaker 1: the top of the asphalt, below the turf, but more

1471
01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 1: resilient than that steam. And I gotta ask you too,

1472
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:31,720
Speaker 1: that rubber is it waterproof or water seeps through? It

1473
01:08:32,120 --> 01:08:34,080
Speaker 1: seeps through, it goes through it, because I know when

1474
01:08:34,120 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: they put the ashphalt down, the water goes right through

1475
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,080
Speaker 1: that stuff, which would surprise me, but that's the way

1476
01:08:40,080 --> 01:08:43,479
Speaker 1: it's built exactly. So you got that the asphalt, then

1477
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,920
Speaker 1: your rubber surface, and then what and then the turf

1478
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:49,200
Speaker 1: and the turf system, if you will, starts out as

1479
01:08:49,240 --> 01:08:52,559
Speaker 1: a carpet. You unroll the carpet it has long fibers,

1480
01:08:52,600 --> 01:08:55,519
Speaker 1: and the fibers lean in a particular direction, and then

1481
01:08:55,640 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 1: you in fill it with rubber and sand, which gives

1482
01:08:58,880 --> 01:09:01,000
Speaker 1: it the body, if you well, so when the athletes

1483
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:03,880
Speaker 1: are playing on it, their spikes are actually going into

1484
01:09:03,880 --> 01:09:06,720
Speaker 1: the rubber and sand, which serves as the soil, if

1485
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:09,759
Speaker 1: you will. And then you have obviously the synthetic fiber

1486
01:09:09,840 --> 01:09:13,560
Speaker 1: that replicates natural grass blades. It seems like people have

1487
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:17,040
Speaker 1: been making fields with the crumb rubber for what ten

1488
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:19,760
Speaker 1: or fifteen years maybe, and it's almost like it revolutionized

1489
01:09:19,800 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 1: the whole thing. Once somebody figure out, let's cut off

1490
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:24,519
Speaker 1: tires real small and put it in the field. It

1491
01:09:24,640 --> 01:09:26,720
Speaker 1: really it really did. It was a great innovation, and

1492
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:31,200
Speaker 1: it's a great use for recycling. Yeah, and uh, and

1493
01:09:31,560 --> 01:09:35,280
Speaker 1: it's really very economical and it's also very uh. It

1494
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:37,280
Speaker 1: has a lot of longevity. The rubbers will wear down

1495
01:09:37,360 --> 01:09:39,439
Speaker 1: over the course of time and it'll it'll last as

1496
01:09:39,439 --> 01:09:42,280
Speaker 1: long as the field. It's replaceable too, right if it is, Yeah,

1497
01:09:42,320 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 1: it is. You can add to it. You can take

1498
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,000
Speaker 1: some out if you feel it's overfilled. Yes, And so

1499
01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:51,920
Speaker 1: how we were sitting here watching it, what's the time

1500
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:54,439
Speaker 1: frame of start to finish when you tear the old

1501
01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: one app put the new one in. I know they

1502
01:09:56,240 --> 01:09:59,400
Speaker 1: put in. They had to cut trenches in the corners

1503
01:09:59,439 --> 01:10:03,200
Speaker 1: of the end zone to install the wiring for pylon cams. Yes,

1504
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,200
Speaker 1: all that stuff, so you had is that part of

1505
01:10:05,240 --> 01:10:07,320
Speaker 1: your project or do you had outsourced that? That was

1506
01:10:07,360 --> 01:10:10,200
Speaker 1: part of a different contract, Steve, But you know, to

1507
01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:12,280
Speaker 1: give you the synopsis of timelines, if you will, we

1508
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:15,080
Speaker 1: come in. Took about five days for us to remove

1509
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:17,880
Speaker 1: the old field. Then some of that other work was done,

1510
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:23,559
Speaker 1: the asphalt repair, the electrical setup for the pylon cameras, etcetera.

1511
01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,960
Speaker 1: Then when they were doing with their part, then we command.

1512
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:28,439
Speaker 1: It took us about five days to pave the new

1513
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:31,360
Speaker 1: rubber system, and then about ten days to install the

1514
01:10:31,400 --> 01:10:34,920
Speaker 1: new turf system. We heard too, because we get interoffice memos. Right,

1515
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:38,200
Speaker 1: so we get this same email that says, hey, don't

1516
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:41,599
Speaker 1: go on the field today or for the next couple

1517
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 1: of days because it has to cure. Yes, right, that

1518
01:10:44,280 --> 01:10:46,240
Speaker 1: was the rubber. That's the rubber part. Yes, And so

1519
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:48,680
Speaker 1: what does that pour out like a liquid or it's

1520
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:51,040
Speaker 1: you know, it's not that fin where it's like a liquid,

1521
01:10:51,080 --> 01:10:52,680
Speaker 1: but there's a liquid it's part of it. So you

1522
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 1: have maybe eighty five percent solids, rubber particles, a little

1523
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,439
Speaker 1: bit of stone mixed in there, fifteen percent your thing.

1524
01:11:00,439 --> 01:11:02,360
Speaker 1: It all gets mixed and then it gets paved out.

1525
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,080
Speaker 1: Jim Dameier is the founder president of a Turf. They

1526
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:08,040
Speaker 1: just finish up the new field that you'll see tonight

1527
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:10,720
Speaker 1: when the Bills play the Colts. I know this is

1528
01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:13,840
Speaker 1: not your decision, but why does Newer field, why does

1529
01:11:13,920 --> 01:11:16,880
Speaker 1: Orcher Park need synthetic as opposed to a grass field.

1530
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 1: Is it strictly a weather thing or well, again, that's

1531
01:11:19,479 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 1: a decision made by the Bills, which by the way,

1532
01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: we were very happy with. Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot

1533
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,559
Speaker 1: of work and these climates. I mean, certainly there are

1534
01:11:27,600 --> 01:11:30,719
Speaker 1: people with the technology and know how to grow wonderful

1535
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:33,720
Speaker 1: grass fields. But being very frank, it's a whole lot

1536
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: of work for ten games a year if you will,

1537
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:40,040
Speaker 1: and you put the synthetic in, it's extremely durable. You're

1538
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:43,320
Speaker 1: getting the same thing in all kinds of weather, very consistent,

1539
01:11:43,560 --> 01:11:45,840
Speaker 1: and it'll last year. You know, it lasts a long. Yeah,

1540
01:11:45,880 --> 01:11:47,800
Speaker 1: there's a lot of consideration. You think about, Okay, what

1541
01:11:47,880 --> 01:11:49,680
Speaker 1: happens if all right, they got this grass field and

1542
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:51,799
Speaker 1: then they want to have a concert or an alternate

1543
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: event there. They got to treat it like a game.

1544
01:11:54,880 --> 01:11:56,679
Speaker 1: I mean, you got your whole crew out there fixing

1545
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,840
Speaker 1: it up and ten and then going in after the

1546
01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: event to fix it and repair it and this stuff.

1547
01:12:02,160 --> 01:12:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean what they roll a tarp over it or

1548
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,080
Speaker 1: well they have they have some tile systems that protect it,

1549
01:12:07,120 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: but it's the same idea Steve. They certainly cover up

1550
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: the turf so that's not getting damaged by the crowds

1551
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: and all that goes on and stages, et cetera. So

1552
01:12:14,920 --> 01:12:17,040
Speaker 1: Jim Steve said, we saw it last Friday night for

1553
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:18,719
Speaker 1: the Return of the Blue and the Wren and folks

1554
01:12:18,760 --> 01:12:21,559
Speaker 1: who come to the game tonight, hopefully tens of thousands

1555
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,479
Speaker 1: of them are going to walk through the tunnel, come

1556
01:12:23,479 --> 01:12:24,920
Speaker 1: out and look at the field. And I imagine the

1557
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:26,760
Speaker 1: first thing you're gonna say is, look at the sides

1558
01:12:26,800 --> 01:12:29,680
Speaker 1: of that logo in midfield. Right, it's much bigger than

1559
01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,960
Speaker 1: it was. It is. It's about it's about a third bigger,

1560
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:34,120
Speaker 1: and to me it seems like even more than that.

1561
01:12:34,560 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 1: But the actual numbers are thirty thirty three percent larger

1562
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:40,920
Speaker 1: than the old one. The NFL shields are a little larger,

1563
01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: but the midfield logo was maybe a little too small

1564
01:12:43,640 --> 01:12:46,439
Speaker 1: last time around. So the Bills agree with that. Yeah,

1565
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: they made the right decision and in larger fame from

1566
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:51,720
Speaker 1: if you're flying into this Buffalo Airport and you need

1567
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:53,639
Speaker 1: to see that logo in the middle of the field

1568
01:12:53,800 --> 01:12:56,600
Speaker 1: and it jumps, Yeah, I haven't flown in yet. I

1569
01:12:56,640 --> 01:12:59,160
Speaker 1: haven't seen it. I'm just thinking. I like it TV.

1570
01:12:59,439 --> 01:13:01,519
Speaker 1: I mean, let's and I think, and I watched. Once

1571
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 1: the season starts, I'll watch three or four or five

1572
01:13:03,840 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 1: games a week, and there's a certain look to this place.

1573
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:09,080
Speaker 1: And to have that logo that big will enhance that look,

1574
01:13:09,320 --> 01:13:11,760
Speaker 1: you know, when you're and especially because it's outdoors, because

1575
01:13:11,800 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: the weather kind of gets a little funny here sometimes,

1576
01:13:14,400 --> 01:13:16,599
Speaker 1: you know, when you're watching a game from Orchard Park.

1577
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 1: I think, and I like that. It's a distinctive look,

1578
01:13:18,640 --> 01:13:22,680
Speaker 1: don't you agree, Totally agree, Very vibrant. Yeah, it's a

1579
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:24,839
Speaker 1: nice looking field. And I'm not just saying that because

1580
01:13:25,520 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: I have reason to say that. I'm saying that because

1581
01:13:27,439 --> 01:13:29,720
Speaker 1: it really presents very well on television. It looks very

1582
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: different than a lot of the other synthetic fields out

1583
01:13:32,360 --> 01:13:36,120
Speaker 1: there richer. Yeah, I agree. So this this feels gonna

1584
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:38,920
Speaker 1: be good. You're saying fourteen years on average, but the

1585
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,640
Speaker 1: standards of the NFL, they'll probably switch it out before that.

1586
01:13:41,760 --> 01:13:44,080
Speaker 1: I would say that, I would say eight years. Yeah,

1587
01:13:44,240 --> 01:13:48,920
Speaker 1: that's interesting because I don't It seems like a long time,

1588
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,960
Speaker 1: but I guess not. I'm I didn't remember the last

1589
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:54,600
Speaker 1: one going well you I was just gonna get to

1590
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:56,840
Speaker 1: this and you recall the field you played on in

1591
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,720
Speaker 1: the nineties. Boy, totally different than what most fields are,

1592
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,240
Speaker 1: most synthetic fields are now. I played it. Yeah, it

1593
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:05,800
Speaker 1: was a carpet. Yeah, it wasn't even a carpet. You

1594
01:14:05,840 --> 01:14:07,439
Speaker 1: would you'd have ripped it up if it was on

1595
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 1: your patio, But the technology was different. I started my

1596
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,360
Speaker 1: career with the Houston Oilers and in the Astrodome where

1597
01:14:15,360 --> 01:14:17,800
Speaker 1: astro where it was invented. Because they didn't couldn't grow

1598
01:14:17,840 --> 01:14:21,960
Speaker 1: grass indoors. There were so many issues and so many

1599
01:14:22,040 --> 01:14:25,479
Speaker 1: things they learned from the rudimentary thing they did. All

1600
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:31,000
Speaker 1: they did was rolled, They flattened the floor, rolled rollers

1601
01:14:31,120 --> 01:14:33,320
Speaker 1: over it and it was dirt, and they put the

1602
01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,960
Speaker 1: turf right on the dirt. Did they really and yeah,

1603
01:14:37,080 --> 01:14:39,680
Speaker 1: and then once they did that, then they decided they

1604
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,840
Speaker 1: needed to get wired the wiring from one side of

1605
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,519
Speaker 1: the field to the other. So they just dug a

1606
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 1: trench down the forty five yard line. They it was

1607
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: it was, it was. It was four inches wide or

1608
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,880
Speaker 1: three and a half inches wide, all the way across

1609
01:14:52,960 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: the forty five yard line, and then the yard line

1610
01:14:57,200 --> 01:15:01,240
Speaker 1: was white. They wrapped they rapped two by fours with

1611
01:15:01,720 --> 01:15:05,120
Speaker 1: AstroTurf and just pounded them into the top of the things,

1612
01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:07,439
Speaker 1: so it was like a street curb running through. They

1613
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,560
Speaker 1: tried to get as level as they could, but it was,

1614
01:15:10,160 --> 01:15:13,559
Speaker 1: you know, the yard line the white stripe was two

1615
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:15,960
Speaker 1: by fours with astroturp wrapped around. I mean, that's how

1616
01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 1: far would they've come with this stuff. So there was

1617
01:15:18,720 --> 01:15:21,720
Speaker 1: a point before the development of this recent family of

1618
01:15:21,800 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: synthetics where the synthetic market was basically just going away

1619
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 1: until the development and the invention, if you will, of

1620
01:15:28,840 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 1: the use of crumb rubber John as you reference, and

1621
01:15:32,040 --> 01:15:34,960
Speaker 1: you know, it's changed things. So now it's growing, even

1622
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:37,759
Speaker 1: though it's somewhat leveled off. Let's say in the NFL

1623
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:40,439
Speaker 1: and in the Major League Baseball at the high school

1624
01:15:40,560 --> 01:15:43,559
Speaker 1: and the collegiate level. Synthetic is where it's at, which

1625
01:15:43,600 --> 01:15:45,880
Speaker 1: is where your company is in right now, right, tell

1626
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 1: us where you have some of your fields, right, Yeah. So,

1627
01:15:49,560 --> 01:15:53,120
Speaker 1: so this is primarily a Western New York listening audience.

1628
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,519
Speaker 1: I'll start there without getting into too much detail. Western

1629
01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,599
Speaker 1: New York has been very good to us. We're blessed.

1630
01:15:58,600 --> 01:16:00,720
Speaker 1: We have about eighty percent markets of all the high

1631
01:16:00,720 --> 01:16:04,799
Speaker 1: schools and colleges you know, in Western New York. For example,

1632
01:16:04,880 --> 01:16:08,000
Speaker 1: Tyree Jackson will be very familiar with that field because

1633
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:10,960
Speaker 1: he played out in at Uba. Yeah. So, and we

1634
01:16:11,040 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 1: do it all over the country, but we do really

1635
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,320
Speaker 1: well in New York State. In Pennsylvania. The bulk of

1636
01:16:15,400 --> 01:16:17,080
Speaker 1: the markets you can well image you know, all the

1637
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:20,560
Speaker 1: high schools that are out there, small colleges that are landlocked.

1638
01:16:20,720 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Example Canisius where you have one field and you play

1639
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 1: multi use. Yeah, that's it. So, yeah, exactly, lacrosse, football, soccer,

1640
01:16:28,800 --> 01:16:31,320
Speaker 1: all of that field, hockey, yeah, the whole nine yards. Yeah,

1641
01:16:31,360 --> 01:16:34,040
Speaker 1: I get you. Yeah. So, So, while the the NFL

1642
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,240
Speaker 1: stadiums get the notoriety for obvious reasons, the beauty of

1643
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:39,800
Speaker 1: these systems are being at a high school or a

1644
01:16:39,880 --> 01:16:43,400
Speaker 1: small college where they're being used five hundred events a year,

1645
01:16:43,640 --> 01:16:46,920
Speaker 1: right for you know, from fizzad classes up to varsity

1646
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:50,479
Speaker 1: level girls boys, every sport you can imagine, Jim, you

1647
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: know what the old field that Steve played down, the

1648
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: one we were talking about, was here in what then

1649
01:16:56,160 --> 01:16:59,639
Speaker 1: rich Stadium was known for having a high crown for drainage.

1650
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:03,639
Speaker 1: There is no crown. There is a minimal crown. John.

1651
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 1: But but unlike the old days where the water shed

1652
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 1: to the side, here it is a poorous system as

1653
01:17:09,800 --> 01:17:13,080
Speaker 1: Steve alluded to before. So you so the water percolates

1654
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:16,840
Speaker 1: through the through the carpeting and perforations, and then through

1655
01:17:16,920 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 1: the rubber layer and then into the poorous asphalt into

1656
01:17:19,920 --> 01:17:22,120
Speaker 1: a draining system below. So unless you get in a

1657
01:17:22,320 --> 01:17:25,640
Speaker 1: really super heavy rain, you know, the overwhelming majority of

1658
01:17:25,680 --> 01:17:28,400
Speaker 1: water is percolating down, so you don't get the puddles

1659
01:17:28,479 --> 01:17:30,840
Speaker 1: and you don't need the crown. And not just here,

1660
01:17:30,880 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: but the other Western New York venues. You you have

1661
01:17:33,479 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 1: a field, how much you have to account for snow?

1662
01:17:35,560 --> 01:17:37,400
Speaker 1: I mean there can be four feet of snow here

1663
01:17:37,720 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: on game day some days. You know, what do you do?

1664
01:17:40,640 --> 01:17:44,120
Speaker 1: I'm laughing because the key thing about snow is properly

1665
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:48,640
Speaker 1: training the people on site how to remove the snow, right,

1666
01:17:48,720 --> 01:17:50,519
Speaker 1: But you can't pull a plow out right, I mean,

1667
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:53,080
Speaker 1: well you do, but you have to be very you

1668
01:17:53,200 --> 01:17:55,400
Speaker 1: have to be very particular with how high it is,

1669
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,560
Speaker 1: how high it is. And I see it when the

1670
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:00,200
Speaker 1: snow game two years ago, the Indianapolis culture here in

1671
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:02,719
Speaker 1: town today, they were in two years ago the field

1672
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:06,080
Speaker 1: head snow. They had leaf blowers, yes, out going down.

1673
01:18:06,120 --> 01:18:09,760
Speaker 1: The design is that recommended, that's part of the process. Yeah, yeah,

1674
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:11,840
Speaker 1: so so blowing it is not an issue at all.

1675
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes the snow was so deep that you need more

1676
01:18:14,160 --> 01:18:15,920
Speaker 1: than that. You gotta plow some of it, but you

1677
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:19,200
Speaker 1: gotta have the right equipment. The crumbs out of it

1678
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:22,120
Speaker 1: or the sand minimal, Steve minimal. But there's so much.

1679
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:24,120
Speaker 1: I mean, just to give you guys a feel each

1680
01:18:24,600 --> 01:18:27,400
Speaker 1: or not not each, I'm sorry. Uh, the field has

1681
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: two hundred and sixty thousand pounds of rubber and two

1682
01:18:30,920 --> 01:18:34,360
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty thousand pounds of sand in it. So yeah,

1683
01:18:34,560 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 1: fifty fifty fifty fifty mix by weight, yes, and so

1684
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:39,760
Speaker 1: so you can imagine if there's like twenty pounds at

1685
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:41,599
Speaker 1: the end of the day, because you blew some rubber out.

1686
01:18:41,840 --> 01:18:44,640
Speaker 1: It's not really a big deal what this is, I

1687
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:47,759
Speaker 1: would think, And tonight maybe marks like you're crowning achievement

1688
01:18:47,800 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: at least right now for for eight Right you got

1689
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,439
Speaker 1: an NFL stadium first game. Yeah, you gotta be pretty

1690
01:18:53,439 --> 01:18:55,600
Speaker 1: excited about it. Is. It's a it's a blessing to

1691
01:18:55,720 --> 01:18:59,240
Speaker 1: be able to mix business and UH in fandom. Okay,

1692
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,080
Speaker 1: we're all Bills fans. Okay, I've been a Bills fans

1693
01:19:02,280 --> 01:19:05,719
Speaker 1: long before I started a turf and my wife, her parents,

1694
01:19:05,760 --> 01:19:08,840
Speaker 1: who are original Bills boosters. You know, our kids had

1695
01:19:08,880 --> 01:19:10,400
Speaker 1: no choice but to be a Bills fans, and on

1696
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:12,920
Speaker 1: and on it goes our extended family. So we love

1697
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,240
Speaker 1: the Bills. So to be able to mix that and

1698
01:19:15,320 --> 01:19:17,400
Speaker 1: then be in a business where you're making money at it,

1699
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: and it's it's it's wonderful watch the game differently than

1700
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,559
Speaker 1: everybody else today. Um No, I'll watch the football aspect

1701

1702
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,840
Speaker 1: everyone is good footing. Yeah, I don't start it in

1725
01:20:34,160 --> 01:20:37,120
Speaker 1: a Twitter poll up right now with tons of responses.

1726
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,720
Speaker 1: Who are you watching the closest tonight? In the preseason

1727
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:43,000

1729

1735
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:05,240
Speaker 1: you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the official movers of the

1736
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:07,040
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. What he got there in the tweet sheet?

1737
01:21:07,120 --> 01:21:09,719
Speaker 1: Yeah from Dane. He says it might be an unpopular choice,

1738
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:12,719
Speaker 1: but curious to see rugby player running back Christian Wade.

1739
01:21:12,760 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 1: I've seen his highlights and the guy can fly. He

1740
01:21:15,120 --> 01:21:18,320
Speaker 1: hasn't been mentioned much with the bills crowded backfield this year,

1741
01:21:18,320 --> 01:21:20,360
Speaker 1: and I think he has an NFL potential to be

1742
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: a contributor. It'll be fun to see Christian Wade get

1743
01:21:22,400 --> 01:21:24,759
Speaker 1: on the field. Know your partner tonight Andrew Catalan obviously

1744
01:21:24,800 --> 01:21:26,599
Speaker 1: on our show yesterday, and we were sitting there talking

1745
01:21:26,640 --> 01:21:29,519
Speaker 1: about the game, and he mentioned what a gift that is.

1746
01:21:29,600 --> 01:21:32,719
Speaker 1: In the fourth quarter of season, fourth quarter of preseason

1747
01:21:32,760 --> 01:21:35,719
Speaker 1: game number one, typically you're looking at guys who played

1748
01:21:35,760 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: at Slippery Rock or someplace, and maybe he's got a

1749
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,200
Speaker 1: chance to make the roster. Here's a guy playing in

1750
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:43,479
Speaker 1: his first NFL game, right, Christian Wade, running back who

1751
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, as Steve said, you know, he's a tremendous

1752
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:50,959
Speaker 1: performer in rugby internationally number forty five tonight the International

1753
01:21:51,000 --> 01:21:53,560
Speaker 1: Pathway program for the NFL. That's a great story and

1754
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:56,760
Speaker 1: a great thing to watch. Can you will we be

1755
01:21:56,800 --> 01:21:59,679
Speaker 1: able to see his instincts kick in, maybe as rugby

1756
01:22:00,000 --> 01:22:02,680
Speaker 1: sinks in tonight's game. Here's what I think. So I'm

1757
01:22:02,720 --> 01:22:05,320
Speaker 1: like a toss sweep to Christian Wade where it's him

1758
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:07,800
Speaker 1: and maybe a defender or two, and all of a sudden,

1759
01:22:07,800 --> 01:22:09,679
Speaker 1: he's saying, well, this is this kind of looks like rugby.

1760
01:22:09,720 --> 01:22:11,479
Speaker 1: I'm used to this, right, wouldn't it be cool? List

1761
01:22:11,800 --> 01:22:14,000
Speaker 1: that's what rugby is. He's going to have the instincts

1762
01:22:14,040 --> 01:22:15,600
Speaker 1: if he can get the ball in his hands. I

1763
01:22:15,680 --> 01:22:19,040
Speaker 1: think the thing that he's never seen or had any

1764
01:22:20,560 --> 01:22:24,679
Speaker 1: any exposure to is blocking. You don't block in rugby,

1765
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:27,840
Speaker 1: and you don't have blockers in rugby. You don't get

1766
01:22:27,880 --> 01:22:31,920
Speaker 1: to use your teammates as as weapons. So it'll be

1767
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:35,120
Speaker 1: interesting to see him get used to that. But certainly

1768
01:22:35,520 --> 01:22:37,800
Speaker 1: he doesn't when we've seen him in training camp. I've

1769
01:22:38,040 --> 01:22:40,000
Speaker 1: kind of watched him a little bit. He doesn't look

1770
01:22:40,040 --> 01:22:42,960
Speaker 1: out of place. He looks like a young football player

1771
01:22:43,400 --> 01:22:46,040
Speaker 1: who's going through the drills, just like everybody else. He

1772
01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:47,800
Speaker 1: knows how to move. He seems to have the right

1773
01:22:48,600 --> 01:22:51,120
Speaker 1: instincts to when to throw a fake, when to turn

1774
01:22:51,160 --> 01:22:53,120
Speaker 1: around and catch the ball and turn up the field.

1775
01:22:53,120 --> 01:22:55,439
Speaker 1: He does it really naturally. It'll be fun to see

1776
01:22:55,439 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 1: and I agree with him, it'll be fun to watch him.

1777
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:00,439
Speaker 1: It's a great story and it will be deep into

1778
01:23:00,439 --> 01:23:02,360
Speaker 1: the game. Let's face it, you know, look at the

1779
01:23:02,680 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 1: running back depth chart. Here's who's ahead of a Christian

1780
01:23:05,640 --> 01:23:09,040
Speaker 1: Wade mcquoie won't play tonight. Frank Gord, Devin Singletary, t

1781
01:23:09,240 --> 01:23:13,200
Speaker 1: J Yelden, Sonora's Ferry Marcus Murphy. Five of them ahead

1782
01:23:13,200 --> 01:23:15,360
Speaker 1: of Christian Wade tonight so, and I would think all

1783
01:23:15,400 --> 01:23:17,880
Speaker 1: of those five will get snaps tonight before Christian Wade

1784
01:23:17,960 --> 01:23:20,840
Speaker 1: right when you think probably, yeah, But when he gets

1785
01:23:20,880 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: in there, it'll be fun to watch him. Different to

1786
01:23:22,560 --> 01:23:25,120
Speaker 1: watch a guy who's never who's never played that, not

1787
01:23:25,240 --> 01:23:27,080
Speaker 1: only the position, but played the game. I don't think

1788
01:23:27,120 --> 01:23:29,080
Speaker 1: he's ever played in a game. Yeah, it'll be fun.

1789
01:23:29,400 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 1: Got a call on the line from Sam and Clarence. Sam,

1790
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:34,400
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us, Hi, guys, Alli,

1791
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,519
Speaker 1: just about what you're talking about. The running backs, especially

1792
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:42,240
Speaker 1: t J Yeldon then Singletary. I think you know that's

1793
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,560
Speaker 1: a key for the season the running game goes. I

1794
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,000
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen's job is gonna be a lot easier.

1795
01:23:49,200 --> 01:23:52,000
Speaker 1: Of course that depends on a lot of things, but boy,

1796
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:54,640
Speaker 1: I just think that these young running backs can step up.

1797
01:23:55,040 --> 01:23:57,000
Speaker 1: I don't have a lot of faith in the gray Beards.

1798
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:59,920
Speaker 1: I don't know how long there's gonna be the gray Beards,

1799
01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: Gore and Shady. I'm afraid I do Yeah, sorry, sorry,

1800
01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 1: you can do. Yeah, you don't have to apologize for

1801
01:24:06,960 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 1: the way you feel. I get it, and I agree

1802
01:24:10,520 --> 01:24:12,400
Speaker 1: with you really at the basis of your premise that

1803
01:24:13,600 --> 01:24:16,400
Speaker 1: they went out and got all this help for Josh Allen. Well,

1804
01:24:17,479 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: you hope it helps, right, I mean, that's the whole idea.

1805
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:22,519
Speaker 1: That's why you got the new offensive lineman, That's why

1806
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,599
Speaker 1: you brought in Frank Gore, you held on to Shady,

1807
01:24:25,040 --> 01:24:28,560
Speaker 1: you drafted Devin Singletary, you'd signed t j Yelden. That

1808
01:24:28,840 --> 01:24:31,120
Speaker 1: there is much a part of helping Josh Allen as

1809
01:24:31,160 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: the fifteen offensive lineman they've got in training camp. So yeah,

1810
01:24:34,439 --> 01:24:38,040
Speaker 1: you hope it all comes together. Helps a young franchise

1811
01:24:38,160 --> 01:24:41,000
Speaker 1: quarterback become an elite franchise quarterback that he's going to

1812
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,200
Speaker 1: need all the help he can get. And it starts

1813
01:24:43,240 --> 01:24:45,920
Speaker 1: with a good running game and good running backs and

1814
01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 1: a good offensive line. It's all got to work together.

1815
01:24:48,040 --> 01:24:50,960
Speaker 1: But yeah, the whole mantra of the offseason has been

1816
01:24:51,000 --> 01:24:54,760
Speaker 1: we got to get weapons and help for Josh Allen. Yeah,

1817
01:24:55,000 --> 01:24:56,680

1820
01:25:01,040 --> 01:25:03,000
Speaker 1: for your call, Sam. One more from the tweet sheet

1821
01:25:03,080 --> 01:25:05,439
Speaker 1: from Brad. We asked the question, who are you watching

1822
01:25:05,479 --> 01:25:07,960
Speaker 1: the closest on the Bills tonight against the Colts. Brad says,

1823
01:25:08,200 --> 01:25:10,600
Speaker 1: I want to see how Josh Allen does against a

1824
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,080
Speaker 1: secondary that's not one of the best in the league.

1825
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:15,880
Speaker 1: I gotta think about that. I don't know if the

1826
01:25:15,960 --> 01:25:17,800
Speaker 1: Colts were last year one of the best in the league.

1827
01:25:17,800 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: I think they're okay. I think they were a tenth

1828
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,400
Speaker 1: ranked defense in the league last year. I got great

1829
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:25,360
Speaker 1: work from the linebacker Darius Leonard last year, and they've

1830
01:25:25,400 --> 01:25:27,800
Speaker 1: added a good pass rusher and Justin Houston. Don't know

1831
01:25:27,840 --> 01:25:30,719
Speaker 1: how long he'll play tonight, but you know the Colts

1832
01:25:30,760 --> 01:25:33,639
Speaker 1: had ten draft picks this year, Steve no first round

1833
01:25:33,720 --> 01:25:36,160
Speaker 1: or ten draft picks, seven of them on the defensive

1834
01:25:36,200 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: side of the ball, three of them in the defensive backfield,

1835
01:25:39,080 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 1: so they'll learn. And their top pick second round was

1836
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:44,639
Speaker 1: a guy that I saw at the Senior Bowl. Caught

1837
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:47,519
Speaker 1: my at the Senior Bowl. Rockyest Scene, the Temple player

1838
01:25:47,760 --> 01:25:51,360
Speaker 1: who started out his college career at Presbyterian College. He's

1839
01:25:51,400 --> 01:25:55,719
Speaker 1: kind of a prototypical New age NFL corner, six foot,

1840
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:57,680
Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety pounds. He can run all day.

1841
01:25:58,000 --> 01:25:59,960
Speaker 1: I think he'll play a lot tonight. His first NFL

1842
01:26:00,160 --> 01:26:02,519
Speaker 1: game I don't know if the Colts secondary is not

1843
01:26:02,600 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 1: one of the best in the league. It might not

1844
01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:05,960
Speaker 1: have been last year, but it's pretty good this year.

1845
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:08,120
Speaker 1: I think they're getting better. I think three draft picks

1846
01:26:08,160 --> 01:26:10,320
Speaker 1: and rock yest scene is the real deal, right, they

1847
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: think they're They've put some work into their secondary. Now,

1848
01:26:12,840 --> 01:26:17,599
Speaker 1: certainly they're gonna be young, but they're gonna be athletic yep.

1849
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,000
Speaker 1: And that's you know, that's what you ask for first

1850
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 1: in a secondary. You gotta have guys that can run,

1851
01:26:22,080 --> 01:26:24,519
Speaker 1: like you said, run all day and change direction and

1852
01:26:24,840 --> 01:26:27,599
Speaker 1: be a little bit big and nasty. I think they've

1853
01:26:27,680 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: got designs on this secondary being much better than it

1854
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 1: was a year ago. But it's you know, good observation

1855
01:26:31,880 --> 01:26:33,559
Speaker 1: by you from a year ago. There, you know their

1856
01:26:33,600 --> 01:26:37,160
Speaker 1: secondary wasn't all of that. We'll see if that, you know,

1857
01:26:37,439 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: let's not project last year onto this year a little

1858
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:41,320
Speaker 1: too quickly for the Colts. That's the best new name

1859
01:26:41,360 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 1: in the NFL. By the way, Rocky Scenes scene love it.

1860
01:26:44,600 --> 01:26:48,479

Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermot told us yesterday that Frank Gore

1872

Speaker 1: gets to start at running back in tonight's game, with

1873
01:27:34,560 --> 01:27:37,000
Speaker 1: the shady McCoy getting the night off. We'll talk more

1874
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,240
Speaker 1: about that in a moment. Colts come in without their

1875
01:27:39,320 --> 01:27:43,280
Speaker 1: top quarterback, Andrew Luck. Jacobe Brissette expected to start. By

1876

1877
01:27:45,280 --> 01:27:48,559
Speaker 1: quarterbacks playing. The Bills expect to use Tyree Jackson as

1878
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:50,840
Speaker 1: their quarterback lad in the game, and the Colts are

1879
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,280
Speaker 1: expected to go with Western New York native Chad Kelly,

1880
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 1: former Denver bronco at quarterback. A lot of storylines tonight

1881
01:27:56,680 --> 01:27:59,519
Speaker 1: seven o'clock kick off. The radio pregame show starts at five.

1882
01:28:00,040 --> 01:28:02,559
Speaker 1: Radio coverage on our flagship here in Buffalo, w GR

1883
01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,880
Speaker 1: Sports Radio by fifty forty nine. Ers. Defensive end Nick

1884
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Bosa has a significant ankle sprain and he will not

1885
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:11,280
Speaker 1: play at all in the preseason. That's according to San

1886
01:28:11,320 --> 01:28:14,439
Speaker 1: Francisco general manager John Lynch. He told a radio station

1887
01:28:14,520 --> 01:28:17,000
Speaker 1: in San Francisco that Bosa does not have a full

1888
01:28:17,040 --> 01:28:20,519
Speaker 1: blown high ankle sprain, but there are components of that injury.

1889
01:28:20,680 --> 01:28:23,080
Speaker 1: Bosa was the number two overall pick in the twenty

1890
01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,320
Speaker 1: nineteen draft. The hope is for Bosa to be ready

1891
01:28:25,320 --> 01:28:27,680
Speaker 1: for the start of the regular season September eighth, when

1892
01:28:27,680 --> 01:28:30,880
Speaker 1: the Niners played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Cleveland Browns traded

1893
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,360
Speaker 1: running back to Duke Johnson to the Houston Texans today.

1894
01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,920
Speaker 1: The Texans agreed to send a conditional fourth round pick

1895
01:28:35,960 --> 01:28:38,200
Speaker 1: in the draft. In the deals to the Browns can

1896
01:28:38,280 --> 01:28:41,479
Speaker 1: become a third round selection depending on production when the

1897
01:28:41,560 --> 01:28:45,080
Speaker 1: move comes. After the Texans wave running back Dante Foreman

1898
01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:47,680
Speaker 1: earlier this week, Foreman is on the Colts roster now

1899
01:28:47,760 --> 01:28:50,439
Speaker 1: claimed off waivers. Duke Johnson had been seeking to trade

1900
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:53,000
Speaker 1: this offseason and said there was nothing the team could

1901
01:28:53,040 --> 01:28:57,320
Speaker 1: do to change his mind. Dolphins signed defensive end Robert

1902
01:28:57,400 --> 01:29:00,720
Speaker 1: Kendici today added into their physically able performed list. He

1903
01:29:00,840 --> 01:29:02,920
Speaker 1: was a former first round draft pick of the Arizona

1904
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:06,040
Speaker 1: Cardinals in twenty sixteen, and the Bison's playing at Toledo

1905
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 1: tonight seven O five first pick. That's the update from

1914
01:29:28,840 --> 01:29:32,840
Speaker 1: a keen observer of Buffalo Bill's football, so going into

1915
01:29:32,920 --> 01:29:35,280
Speaker 1: this game, let me show you the Twitter poll. First,

1916
01:29:35,760 --> 01:29:37,799
Speaker 1: we asked the fans who are they watching the closest

1917
01:29:37,840 --> 01:29:40,719
Speaker 1: tonight when the Bills take on the Indianapolis Colts. On Twitter,

1918
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:44,280
Speaker 1: forty percent say Josh Island, thirty five percent say offensive line,

1919
01:29:44,560 --> 01:29:48,280

1920
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:50,200
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, who do you got tonight? Who are you

1921
01:29:50,200 --> 01:29:52,080
Speaker 1: watching the closest I'll give you a one player on

1922
01:29:52,160 --> 01:29:55,519
Speaker 1: offense and one player on defense. Okay, I want to

1923
01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 1: watch Devin Singletary on offense and Siran Neil on defense

1924
01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:03,639
Speaker 1: in the Nicols spot. Well. I'm encouraged by what I've

1925
01:30:03,680 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: seen in practice from Devin Singletary. Obviously, it's hard not

1926
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:09,280
Speaker 1: to love his college tape, and I think his decision

1927
01:30:09,360 --> 01:30:11,400
Speaker 1: making has been very good in tight areas, which is

1928
01:30:11,439 --> 01:30:13,160
Speaker 1: what made him a draft pick in the first place.

1929
01:30:13,720 --> 01:30:15,719
Speaker 1: But I want to see it against a different defense,

1930
01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:17,560
Speaker 1: you know, I want to see how he does in

1931
01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:20,960
Speaker 1: blitz pick up, which I know coach has complimented him

1932
01:30:21,000 --> 01:30:23,600
Speaker 1: on knowing his assignments. I gotta say, you look at

1933
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:28,240
Speaker 1: this draft class on the surface at first blush. I mean,

1934
01:30:28,320 --> 01:30:30,560
Speaker 1: not only is it a talented draft class, it's a

1935
01:30:30,600 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 1: pretty intelligent high football IQ draft class. You can go

1936
01:30:35,800 --> 01:30:38,120
Speaker 1: from Ed Oliver all the way down to Tommy Sweeney.

1937
01:30:38,120 --> 01:30:40,640
Speaker 1: You've got a lot of smart kids that they have

1938
01:30:40,760 --> 01:30:42,840
Speaker 1: brought in on this roster who are handling a lot

1939
01:30:42,880 --> 01:30:45,720
Speaker 1: of responsibilities. When you think about what Singletary has to do,

1940
01:30:45,760 --> 01:30:47,800
Speaker 1: I mean they've got him out there in third down packages.

1941
01:30:48,000 --> 01:30:50,320
Speaker 1: I mean they run that practice third down Singletary got

1942
01:30:50,360 --> 01:30:52,559
Speaker 1: a lot of time. I mean they're kind of pacing

1943
01:30:52,640 --> 01:30:55,519
Speaker 1: McCoy and Gore. Singletary's out there picking up blitz is

1944
01:30:55,960 --> 01:30:58,080
Speaker 1: he's out there swinging out, you know, kind of like

1945
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:01,120
Speaker 1: in for blocking nobody there. I'm out for a route

1946
01:31:01,160 --> 01:31:03,040
Speaker 1: kind of thing, Like a lot of those decision making

1947
01:31:03,120 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: things that sometimes it takes running backs a year or

1948
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,760
Speaker 1: two to really kind of master. They're throwing it all

1949
01:31:07,840 --> 01:31:10,320
Speaker 1: at him, and Coach has been pretty complimentary as to

1950
01:31:10,400 --> 01:31:11,840
Speaker 1: what he can handle. I want to see it against

1951
01:31:11,880 --> 01:31:14,000
Speaker 1: live bullets, against the defense he's not used to seeing

1952
01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:16,679
Speaker 1: every day. See how he meant See how he manages

1953
01:31:16,720 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: all of that. Tonight, I get you, and we've seen

1954
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:20,479
Speaker 1: two that he's the thing that he's gonna have to

1955
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:23,120
Speaker 1: do that he didn't have to do in college as

1956
01:31:23,200 --> 01:31:26,439
Speaker 1: much as pick blitz pick up and yeah, and Sean

1957
01:31:26,479 --> 01:31:29,000
Speaker 1: alluded to it in his press conference. Knowing what you're

1958
01:31:29,040 --> 01:31:31,599
Speaker 1: gonna do and knowing who just stepped to his job. One,

1959
01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:35,200
Speaker 1: he's certainly eager enough to step in there. But at

1960
01:31:35,240 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 1: five eight two hundred, he's gonna get physically overpowered. Well,

1961
01:31:38,520 --> 01:31:40,559
Speaker 1: that's the other element too. It's not only the decision

1962
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:44,479
Speaker 1: making can he stand in there and hold up That

1963
01:31:44,960 --> 01:31:46,559
Speaker 1: is the other half of it for sure. And then

1964
01:31:46,600 --> 01:31:50,439
Speaker 1: for Saran Neil, you know, nickel is what he's been handed.

1965
01:31:51,160 --> 01:31:53,000
Speaker 1: There's been times where he's kind of almost looked more

1966
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 1: like a linebacker in some of their defensive sets in practice,

1967
01:31:56,240 --> 01:31:59,720
Speaker 1: and so he's kind of this hybrid type player. But

1968
01:32:00,240 --> 01:32:02,960
Speaker 1: at his core he is trying to learn nickel and

1969
01:32:03,120 --> 01:32:05,200
Speaker 1: I think he's taken a step. I thought he took

1970
01:32:05,240 --> 01:32:08,400
Speaker 1: a step this last week of training camp practice. And

1971
01:32:08,920 --> 01:32:11,000
Speaker 1: now with EJ. Gaines currently out of the mix with

1972
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,800
Speaker 1: the injury, I mean he's out indefinitely with a growing

1973
01:32:12,840 --> 01:32:14,880
Speaker 1: in a hip injury, there's gonna be more reps for

1974
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:17,680
Speaker 1: sirran Neil to really get a hold of what this

1975
01:32:17,880 --> 01:32:20,600
Speaker 1: positions about and all the responsibilities that go into it

1976
01:32:20,680 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: in the scope of this defense, which is a lot.

1977
01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: You gotta do a lot of stuff as the nickel

1978
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:28,440
Speaker 1: in this defensive scheme, whether it's run support, blitzing coverage,

1979
01:32:29,200 --> 01:32:33,080
Speaker 1: passing guys off defensively. So I want to see how

1980
01:32:33,160 --> 01:32:35,280
Speaker 1: he's coming along when the bullets are flying a little

1981
01:32:35,280 --> 01:32:37,519
Speaker 1: bit faster here tonight. You gotta ask Greg Cosal this

1982
01:32:37,720 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 1: question tomorrow when he's on the show this, but what's

1983
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:43,519
Speaker 1: the most recent stat Like team's defenses play nickel sixty

1984
01:32:43,600 --> 01:32:46,479
Speaker 1: cents percent? It's between sixty five and seventy percent, and

1985
01:32:46,600 --> 01:32:49,120
Speaker 1: that's largely based on the opponents you're facing. But the

1986
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:51,160
Speaker 1: bottom line is this, guys, and I don't you guys

1987
01:32:51,200 --> 01:32:54,160
Speaker 1: are probably aware of this too, but eleven personnel, you know,

1988
01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,320
Speaker 1: one bag, one tight end, three wide is the most

1989
01:32:56,360 --> 01:32:58,960
Speaker 1: popular formation in the NFL. I mean, the Rams run

1990
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,400
Speaker 1: at about eighty percent of the time, and the Saints

1991
01:33:01,720 --> 01:33:04,040
Speaker 1: and a lot of these high flying passing offenses they

1992
01:33:04,160 --> 01:33:06,519
Speaker 1: run three wide all the time. That's gonna put your

1993
01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:08,840
Speaker 1: nickel package on the field. So it's almost become the

1994
01:33:08,920 --> 01:33:11,360
Speaker 1: base defense of the NFL because if you're running that

1995
01:33:11,400 --> 01:33:13,200
Speaker 1: sixty five to seventy percent of the time, you're in

1996
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:16,680
Speaker 1: base maybe twenty percent of the time, maybe twenty five,

1997
01:33:16,760 --> 01:33:18,360
Speaker 1: and then you're maybe in a dying kind of look

1998
01:33:18,479 --> 01:33:20,840
Speaker 1: or something or some kind of hybrid look the other

1999
01:33:20,920 --> 01:33:23,200
Speaker 1: five to ten percent of the time. So it really

2000
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,840
Speaker 1: is the base defense of the NFL. Now, And for

2001
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:28,639
Speaker 1: the Bells who comes out Milano Lorenzo is a little

2002
01:33:28,640 --> 01:33:31,439
Speaker 1: bit of both, right, Um, well, no, it's it's mainly

2003
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:34,320
Speaker 1: Lorenzo that would come out as the third linebacker because

2004
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,519
Speaker 1: they keep Milano and Edmonds on the field for coverage.

2005
01:33:36,520 --> 01:33:38,519
Speaker 1: They're the better coverage players. I don't think anybody would

2006
01:33:38,520 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 1: debate that. But there are turbo packages, which is like

2007
01:33:42,600 --> 01:33:45,760
Speaker 1: their pass rush package, where Lorenzo's up on the line right,

2008
01:33:45,960 --> 01:33:48,280
Speaker 1: so he may not be a linebacker per se, but

2009
01:33:48,360 --> 01:33:50,679
Speaker 1: they may pull a defensive tackle out and now he's

2010
01:33:50,720 --> 01:33:55,719
Speaker 1: up on the line yet right, So Lorenzo's not playing

2011
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:57,240
Speaker 1: a linebacker, but he's still on the field in a

2012
01:33:57,240 --> 01:33:59,200
Speaker 1: pass rush package. So that's kind of how it's worked,

2013
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:01,479
Speaker 1: at least from what I've So, siran Neil's got your

2014
01:34:01,479 --> 01:34:05,639
Speaker 1: attention tonight. Anybody else the potential nickel candidates there, well,

2015
01:34:05,840 --> 01:34:09,840
Speaker 1: I mean EJ was technically running second nickel. He's out

2016
01:34:09,880 --> 01:34:11,479
Speaker 1: of the mix, so Sir and Neil moves up and

2017
01:34:11,560 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 1: now cam Lewis has an opportunity. So the UB kids

2018
01:34:14,320 --> 01:34:16,599
Speaker 1: going to play a ton tonight, if not just at

2019
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:18,840
Speaker 1: outside corner, he's going to play inside at nickel two.

2020
01:34:18,960 --> 01:34:24,440
Speaker 1: Because even before EJ. Gaines got hurt, they were sprinkling

2021
01:34:24,960 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 1: cam Lewis in there in the nickel role and I

2022
01:34:27,479 --> 01:34:30,760
Speaker 1: think it's due in part to the fact that he's

2023
01:34:30,800 --> 01:34:33,759
Speaker 1: got a body type that's just more suited to play inside,

2024
01:34:34,280 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 1: low to the ground, low center of gravity five nine

2025
01:34:37,400 --> 01:34:40,439
Speaker 1: eighty three. It's tough to play at that size on

2026
01:34:40,560 --> 01:34:43,680
Speaker 1: the outside with the giants they got out there. And

2027
01:34:44,000 --> 01:34:46,040
Speaker 1: not to say he can't do it, but I think

2028
01:34:46,120 --> 01:34:49,439
Speaker 1: we saw a similar transition with another undrafted guy that

2029
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:53,080
Speaker 1: was here, Nikel Robie Coleman. Here is a guy started outside.

2030
01:34:53,120 --> 01:34:55,880
Speaker 1: They moved him inside rather quickly, and he took to

2031
01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,040
Speaker 1: that role quite well and ended up being the starting

2032
01:34:58,080 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: nickel here for two or three seasons. I'm not saying

2033
01:35:01,160 --> 01:35:04,080
Speaker 1: cam Lewis can be that yet, but it looks like

2034
01:35:04,360 --> 01:35:06,880
Speaker 1: his career path might be on a similar trajectory. So

2035
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:12,880
Speaker 1: the importance of him understanding implementing this his skills to

2036
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:16,920
Speaker 1: the requirements of that position could be pretty instrumental in

2037
01:35:17,080 --> 01:35:19,479
Speaker 1: where his career goes. Yeah, because you've got some some

2038
01:35:19,720 --> 01:35:23,160
Speaker 1: corners on the field, like Kevin Johnson, and there's there's

2039
01:35:23,160 --> 01:35:25,120
Speaker 1: a couple I'll go down the list, but they're all

2040
01:35:25,200 --> 01:35:28,280
Speaker 1: six foot buck eighty five buck ninety Yeah, and they're

2041
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:29,960
Speaker 1: all standing out there at corner. This is and for

2042
01:35:30,080 --> 01:35:33,320
Speaker 1: Sir rand Neil cam Lewis. This is a tough secondary

2043
01:35:33,320 --> 01:35:35,960
Speaker 1: to get on the field with, right. I know. I

2044
01:35:36,120 --> 01:35:37,720
Speaker 1: know that sirrand Neil is going to be a major

2045
01:35:37,800 --> 01:35:41,120
Speaker 1: player on special team, so that's obviously helping him. And

2046
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:44,439
Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, like this past week, he impressed

2047
01:35:44,479 --> 01:35:46,439
Speaker 1: me with what he was doing out on the field.

2048
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: He read a jet sweep in the blue and red practice.

2049
01:35:49,560 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 1: Do you remember that play? He read the jet sweep,

2050
01:35:51,880 --> 01:35:55,040
Speaker 1: beat McLeod to the spot carrying the football and absolutely

2051
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:58,320
Speaker 1: flattened him. Now Sir rand Neil can run, I don't

2052
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:00,200
Speaker 1: know if he can run like Ray Ray McLeod. That's

2053
01:36:00,200 --> 01:36:03,800
Speaker 1: an indication of how he is anticipating and getting too

2054
01:36:03,840 --> 01:36:07,200
Speaker 1: spots based on his brain more than his legs, because

2055
01:36:07,240 --> 01:36:09,160
Speaker 1: he is not as fast as Ray Ray McLeod. And

2056
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:11,920
Speaker 1: there he is beating him to the spot on a

2057
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:14,280
Speaker 1: play on the flank. I mean that's not easy to do.

2058
01:36:14,479 --> 01:36:16,600
Speaker 1: You got to have a proper entry angle, as we

2059
01:36:16,720 --> 01:36:18,920
Speaker 1: used to hear Mark Kelso say all the time, proper

2060
01:36:19,000 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 1: angle entry if you're gonna make that play, and you

2061
01:36:21,240 --> 01:36:23,360
Speaker 1: better get there first. If you're not the faster guy. Yeah,

2062
01:36:23,400 --> 01:36:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, I'll read you this. It's Kevin Johnson, Denzel Rice,

2063
01:36:26,640 --> 01:36:29,760
Speaker 1: Ryan Lewis, Levi Wallace. All of them are six foot tall,

2064
01:36:30,080 --> 01:36:32,679
Speaker 1: between one hundred and eighty and one hundred and eighty five.

2065
01:36:33,200 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: Ninety five is the heaviest, Denzel Rice, And they're all

2066
01:36:35,880 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 1: the same size. They're the same guy. And I've heard

2067
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,400
Speaker 1: multiple gms in this league say this is a big

2068
01:36:41,479 --> 01:36:46,120
Speaker 1: man's game. When you ask the question, are there exceptions? Yes,

2069
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: but you don't want more than about two or three

2070
01:36:48,400 --> 01:36:50,920
Speaker 1: on your roster. Those are exceptions, right, you don't want

2071
01:36:50,960 --> 01:36:53,000
Speaker 1: more than two or three exceptions on your roster. You

2072
01:36:53,080 --> 01:36:54,960
Speaker 1: can't have a team of small guys and winning this league.

2073
01:36:54,960 --> 01:36:57,160
Speaker 1: It's just not going to happen. And that's well, you

2074
01:36:57,160 --> 01:36:58,519
Speaker 1: can go back in the history and site that's what

2075
01:36:58,600 --> 01:37:01,800
Speaker 1: happened to dig Gern that roster. They were always the

2076
01:37:01,920 --> 01:37:04,479
Speaker 1: most injured team in the NFL because they had a

2077
01:37:04,520 --> 01:37:08,120
Speaker 1: lot of light, fast guys defensively, yep, and they Keith Ellison,

2078
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:10,720
Speaker 1: I mean Keith ellen Remember Keith Ellison's sixth round pick

2079
01:37:10,760 --> 01:37:13,639
Speaker 1: played linebacker at two twenty five. I mean people thought

2080
01:37:13,680 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: it was nuts. Fast forward fifteen years, he'd be pretty

2081
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:19,400
Speaker 1: good now, he'd be a good fit because he could

2082
01:37:19,439 --> 01:37:22,720
Speaker 1: cover ye Chris Brown bills his window bills outside of

2086
01:37:31,120 --> 01:37:32,680
Speaker 1: I talk about one of my favorite players. I know

2087
01:37:32,760 --> 01:37:34,720
Speaker 1: you know a lot about him, Brownie, Corey Thompson. I

2088
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:35,920
Speaker 1: think we're going to see a lot of him with

2089
01:37:36,000 --> 01:37:38,600
Speaker 1: the ones tonight and with the twos. He is a

2090
01:37:39,120 --> 01:37:41,320
Speaker 1: one of the standout special teamers on the roster, and

2091
01:37:41,400 --> 01:37:43,559
Speaker 1: I think I saw him running with the first team

2092
01:37:43,600 --> 01:37:45,040
Speaker 1: the other day and I thought he kind of fits

2093
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:46,960
Speaker 1: in with that group. That's how That's how much of

2094
01:37:47,040 --> 01:37:49,320
Speaker 1: a move I think he has made over the Latin right,

2095
01:37:49,360 --> 01:37:51,320
Speaker 1: not just training camp, but over the last several months here.

2096
01:37:51,360 --> 01:37:53,160
Speaker 1: And I don't want to take any credit away from

2097
01:37:53,200 --> 01:37:55,439
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson and the efforts that he has put in to,

2098
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:58,920
Speaker 1: you know, be a bigger part of this roster. But again,

2099
01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back to that, and I've said it before,

2100
01:38:01,600 --> 01:38:06,000
Speaker 1: player development. This is an undrafted guy granted out of

2101
01:38:06,040 --> 01:38:08,800
Speaker 1: a Power five school LSU, so you know he's got

2102
01:38:08,840 --> 01:38:12,000
Speaker 1: the physical capabilities, but This is an example of this

2103
01:38:12,200 --> 01:38:16,000
Speaker 1: franchise taking a player that has the physical tools and

2104
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: grooming him to a point where this guy is now

2105
01:38:19,280 --> 01:38:21,400
Speaker 1: going to be the first linebacker off the bench in

2106
01:38:21,439 --> 01:38:23,240
Speaker 1: the event of an injury to either of the two

2107
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:26,799
Speaker 1: outside starters. This guy can play technically all three positions,

2108
01:38:26,880 --> 01:38:31,200
Speaker 1: but primarily strong and weak side. And you know, God

2109
01:38:31,240 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 1: forbids something happens to Lorenzo or to Milano, this guy's

2110
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:36,680
Speaker 1: gonna be on the field playing big time snaps. And

2111
01:38:36,760 --> 01:38:39,360
Speaker 1: I think he I think he sold this coaching staff

2112
01:38:40,000 --> 01:38:41,760
Speaker 1: when he was active for the last six games of

2113
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,519
Speaker 1: the year last year and then got a couple of starts.

2114
01:38:43,560 --> 01:38:46,880
Speaker 1: You know, when Milano broke his legos out, he was unbelievable.

2115
01:38:46,880 --> 01:38:48,640
Speaker 1: I think he had like twelve fourteen tackles. There's the

2116
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:53,360
Speaker 1: same guy as Milan. Covers ground, can run sideline to

2117
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:59,240
Speaker 1: sideline and Milano the thing that sets him apart is instincts. Yeah,

2118
01:38:59,320 --> 01:39:01,600
Speaker 1: when the balls and he's there. He's always around the

2119
01:39:01,680 --> 01:39:03,640
Speaker 1: football at the end of the play, he's either in

2120
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:06,320
Speaker 1: the play or he's picking up a tip pat whatever

2121
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:10,439
Speaker 1: it is. And Corey Thompson, I don't know, he's a

2122
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,040
Speaker 1: special teams guy. Too, so he brings that to the

2123
01:39:13,120 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: table as well. So both those guys are I think

2124
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:18,200
Speaker 1: valuable asset. But I got a lot of fans on

2125
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 1: Twitter are asking me, you know, are you're worried about

2126
01:39:20,120 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 1: the linebacker depth? Worried about the linebacker depth? You got depth? Now, yeah,

2127
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,040
Speaker 1: you've got a debt. You've got a depth player. And

2128
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,360
Speaker 1: Corey Thompson who can play. I mean, that's a guy

2129
01:39:27,360 --> 01:39:29,200
Speaker 1: who could probably start on four or five teams in

2130
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:32,280
Speaker 1: this league. And then Stanford, he's been in this defense

2131
01:39:32,360 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: for another year. He knows it backwards and forwards. And

2132
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:36,840
Speaker 1: that was a guy that impressed me on the field

2133
01:39:36,840 --> 01:39:38,720
Speaker 1: in the Blue and Red scrimmage last year. I think

2134
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:41,600
Speaker 1: Stanford Stanford bigger than he was when he got here

2135
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:43,280
Speaker 1: a couple of years ago. He's always kind of had

2136
01:39:43,280 --> 01:39:45,640
Speaker 1: an Adonna's kind of frame. He looks bigger now, he

2137
01:39:45,720 --> 01:39:47,800
Speaker 1: looks bigger than me, bigger in just in terms of

2138
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: Edmon Lean Mussell. Yes, yeah, he's a player. And by

2139
01:39:51,560 --> 01:39:53,840
Speaker 1: the way, they're both really good special teamers. Yes, Yet

2140
01:39:56,040 --> 01:39:58,720
Speaker 1: can you easily go five deep at linebacker? Now? Like

2141
01:39:59,040 --> 01:40:01,479
Speaker 1: where you're not lying? I really wish I wouldn't have

2142
01:40:01,479 --> 01:40:03,280
Speaker 1: to play this guy four games. You know we're gonna

2143
01:40:03,320 --> 01:40:05,280
Speaker 1: not have this guy for four man, I really I

2144
01:40:05,400 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: hope we win to it. No, I mean these guys

2145
01:40:07,800 --> 01:40:09,800
Speaker 1: can line up and they can play. Yeah, and I

2146
01:40:09,880 --> 01:40:14,400
Speaker 1: think two Stanford and Thompson both playing both outside spots

2147
01:40:14,479 --> 01:40:17,440
Speaker 1: and maybe Sprinklin and inside. It gives you a flexibility

2148
01:40:17,439 --> 01:40:20,080
Speaker 1: at the sixth linebacker spot to get a core guy

2149
01:40:20,160 --> 01:40:24,200
Speaker 1: on special teams um, and and have some flexibility at

2150
01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:27,280
Speaker 1: the back end of the roster to well you're an

2151
01:40:27,360 --> 01:40:29,280
Speaker 1: upgrade again when the cuts come along. And that guy

2152
01:40:29,400 --> 01:40:31,680
Speaker 1: the last couple of years has been Dion Lacey. You know,

2153
01:40:31,760 --> 01:40:34,760
Speaker 1: a guy who is probably more special teams player than

2154
01:40:34,840 --> 01:40:39,120
Speaker 1: he is linebacker. But you know he can play linebacker, right,

2155
01:40:39,280 --> 01:40:41,280
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be tough because those are the two

2156
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:43,120
Speaker 1: guys ahead of him. There's space. Well, no, not only

2157
01:40:43,160 --> 01:40:45,000
Speaker 1: because of that, but because you got you got a

2158
01:40:45,080 --> 01:40:48,560
Speaker 1: draft choice and Vashon Joseph who has done okay. You know,

2159
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:50,880
Speaker 1: hasn't litt it, hasn't lit it up, but he's done okay.

2160
01:40:51,320 --> 01:40:54,280
Speaker 1: And that Tyrrell Dodson kid, the undrafted kid I think

2161
01:40:54,400 --> 01:40:58,000
Speaker 1: it was a and m Um, he's gotten some significant reps.

2162
01:40:58,240 --> 01:41:00,439
Speaker 1: Dion Lacey's running with the third team right now. He's

2163
01:41:00,439 --> 01:41:02,200
Speaker 1: got he's on the bubble. He's got to watch a

2164
01:41:02,280 --> 01:41:05,240
Speaker 1: step here that these two young Bucks don't overtake him

2165
01:41:05,280 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: for probably the sixth and final linebacker spot. Talking with

2166
01:41:08,840 --> 01:41:11,280
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Bills Insider Buffalo Bills dot com, who are

2167
01:41:11,280 --> 01:41:13,280
Speaker 1: you're watching the closest against the Colt Tonite. You can

2168
01:41:13,360 --> 01:41:15,880
Speaker 1: join the conversation, give us a call eight oh three

2169
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:19,880
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

2170
01:41:19,880 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: Steve asked me this question a couple hours ago on

2171
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:25,320
Speaker 1: the show. Here Chris, best case scenario for the starting

2172
01:41:25,520 --> 01:41:28,559
Speaker 1: Buffalo offense. Most of our Twitter respondents say they're keeping

2173
01:41:28,560 --> 01:41:31,280
Speaker 1: an eye on Josh Allen, which that makes sense. You

2174
01:41:31,320 --> 01:41:33,439
Speaker 1: want to see, but what would you look for from

2175
01:41:33,520 --> 01:41:36,840
Speaker 1: that first unit offense, in particular Josh Allen tonight? What

2176
01:41:36,880 --> 01:41:39,479
Speaker 1: would make you feel good? Rhythm? I want to see

2177
01:41:39,640 --> 01:41:41,560
Speaker 1: rhythm from the group. I don't want to see the

2178
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:44,439
Speaker 1: offense make a good play and then have two crummy

2179
01:41:44,479 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 1: plays or more because of mental errors than anything else.

2180
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,240
Speaker 1: I understand perfect execution in the first preseason game is

2181
01:41:52,240 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 1: a little unrealistic, but what I do want to see

2182
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:57,439
Speaker 1: is some measure of rhythm where you know they can

2183
01:41:57,560 --> 01:42:01,120
Speaker 1: effectively mix run and pass. The line can hold up,

2184
01:42:01,640 --> 01:42:04,799
Speaker 1: plays can get completed, and they can move the football.

2185
01:42:05,000 --> 01:42:07,080
Speaker 1: I don't even really care if they get points. I

2186
01:42:07,200 --> 01:42:10,360
Speaker 1: just want to see some sustained drives seven eight, nine

2187
01:42:10,439 --> 01:42:12,720
Speaker 1: plays they have to kick a field goal because they

2188
01:42:12,720 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: can't get it into the end zone. I'm not going

2189
01:42:14,160 --> 01:42:16,480
Speaker 1: to sweat it, but I just want to see some consistency.

2190
01:42:16,520 --> 01:42:18,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to see these three three and out,

2191
01:42:18,240 --> 01:42:19,760
Speaker 1: three and out, four and out, three and out, four

2192
01:42:19,760 --> 01:42:21,240
Speaker 1: and out. I want to see if they can get

2193
01:42:21,240 --> 01:42:23,240
Speaker 1: into a bit of a rhythm here tonight. And I'll

2194
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:25,200
Speaker 1: be happy with that. You know, in the first own

2195
01:42:25,240 --> 01:42:28,040
Speaker 1: it because we have to take into account. I mean,

2196
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:32,120
Speaker 1: if you let's just hypothetically talk not even hypothetically, let's

2197
01:42:32,160 --> 01:42:36,400
Speaker 1: realistically talk about who's gonna probably start on offense. Frank Gore,

2198
01:42:36,680 --> 01:42:39,360
Speaker 1: coach said, is already starting a running back, okay, and

2199
01:42:39,479 --> 01:42:42,120
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have John Brown, Cole Beasley, and Zay

2200
01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:46,400
Speaker 1: Jones are probably your starting receivers tonight. Sweeney, your tight

2201
01:42:46,520 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: end is Sweeney or Lee Smith, doesn't matter, new guy okay.

2202
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:54,040
Speaker 1: And your offensive line is gonna have one at least

2203
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:56,360
Speaker 1: three new people, probably in Secy and Ford on the

2204
01:42:56,439 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 1: right side in Spain at left guard. So that's one, two, three, four,

2205
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:02,880
Speaker 1: five six. You're gonna have seven new players lining up

2206
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:05,679
Speaker 1: and you're starting eleven seven out of eleven from when

2207
01:43:06,600 --> 01:43:09,000
Speaker 1: from last year to this year? Yeah, but that's they've

2208
01:43:09,040 --> 01:43:11,240
Speaker 1: been practicing for two weeks and they've had OTAs. They're

2209
01:43:11,280 --> 01:43:14,240
Speaker 1: not strangers anymore. I mean, I'm not saying they're strangers,

2210
01:43:14,320 --> 01:43:16,519
Speaker 1: but this is the first time with live bullets where

2211
01:43:16,560 --> 01:43:18,240
Speaker 1: the pace is going to pick up. You're going against

2212
01:43:18,280 --> 01:43:20,280
Speaker 1: the defense that you don't know. Granted it'll be vanilla,

2213
01:43:20,560 --> 01:43:23,040
Speaker 1: but still at all you know, I think you got

2214
01:43:23,160 --> 01:43:25,120
Speaker 1: pieces to put together here. I hear what you're saying.

2215
01:43:25,680 --> 01:43:29,639
Speaker 1: But unlike other years, those seven guys they've all played.

2216
01:43:30,240 --> 01:43:34,320
Speaker 1: This ain't This isn't well, Kase, I have Cody Ford, right,

2217
01:43:34,479 --> 01:43:38,080
Speaker 1: So you're not going in there with you know, six

2218
01:43:38,200 --> 01:43:40,760
Speaker 1: rookie free agents who were undrafted Rye. I mean, these guys,

2219
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: these this is a group that you gotta feel it's

2220
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:47,200
Speaker 1: not gonna be too big for him a preseason game

2221
01:43:47,240 --> 01:43:49,400
Speaker 1: for freezing. But I get what you're saying, I think,

2222
01:43:49,760 --> 01:43:51,920
Speaker 1: and that's the thing that it's the same thing that

2223
01:43:52,080 --> 01:43:54,599
Speaker 1: McDermott has said, he told us and when we had

2224
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:58,280
Speaker 1: him on the show. Our biggest thing is continuity. Right,

2225
01:43:58,360 --> 01:44:01,000
Speaker 1: we don't know each other, but for me, that's more

2226
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: about that doesn't affect these guys when they're on the

2227
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:06,960
Speaker 1: They're gonna get to know each other pretty quickly. But

2228
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:08,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna out there playing ar and they're gonna be competing.

2229
01:44:08,880 --> 01:44:10,879
Speaker 1: And I think these guys are gonna hold up physically

2230
01:44:11,160 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 1: to what the Colts bring out. I think, you know,

2231
01:44:13,680 --> 01:44:15,479
Speaker 1: and the stuff that you're talking about, you're I think

2232
01:44:15,520 --> 01:44:17,439
Speaker 1: we're gonna see that in the second half of this game.

2233
01:44:17,640 --> 01:44:20,120
Speaker 1: You're gonna see some guys that it might be too

2234
01:44:20,200 --> 01:44:22,559
Speaker 1: big for him and they might not know what they're doing. Right.

2235
01:44:22,760 --> 01:44:24,640
Speaker 1: These guys are just they're doing I'm just trying to

2236
01:44:24,720 --> 01:44:28,080
Speaker 1: take into account because I'm I'm fully expecting it to

2237
01:44:28,160 --> 01:44:30,000
Speaker 1: be Cody Ford and Tie and Secy on the right

2238
01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,360
Speaker 1: side of the line today. They made that switch on Tuesday,

2239
01:44:32,680 --> 01:44:35,400
Speaker 1: do you know what I mean? And I mean more Monday,

2240
01:44:36,200 --> 01:44:38,160
Speaker 1: and you know what I mean. Here we are, here,

2241
01:44:38,240 --> 01:44:41,360
Speaker 1: we are Thursday, and we're playing a game. So I'm

2242
01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:45,480
Speaker 1: trying to take that into consideration when I'm watching execution

2243
01:44:45,560 --> 01:44:48,160
Speaker 1: by this offense tonight. Yeah, phone call on the line.

2244
01:44:48,200 --> 01:44:51,000
Speaker 1: Chris Brown joined us, Louis and Hamilton on the line. Hello, Louie,

2245
01:44:51,040 --> 01:44:56,240
Speaker 1: go ahead. I enjoy your topic, guys. I like I've

2246
01:44:56,320 --> 01:44:58,439
Speaker 1: lived from Canada and I watched the CFL. I love

2247
01:44:58,479 --> 01:45:02,960
Speaker 1: the NFL. By the way, I'm interested in seeing Duke Williams.

2248
01:45:03,080 --> 01:45:04,760
Speaker 1: I know he's behind the eight ball right now a

2249
01:45:04,880 --> 01:45:08,160
Speaker 1: little bit. He's come on as of late. But I

2250
01:45:08,360 --> 01:45:11,639
Speaker 1: just think that this is kind of like towards Steve Tasker.

2251
01:45:11,960 --> 01:45:14,519
Speaker 1: It's there's sometimes guys that are like better in games

2252
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:17,639
Speaker 1: and there are in practice, and him being a veteran evil,

2253
01:45:17,680 --> 01:45:19,600
Speaker 1: he's a veteran to see a fell you think he

2254
01:45:19,680 --> 01:45:21,800
Speaker 1: cons a chance to still turn it up when it

2255
01:45:21,880 --> 01:45:23,840
Speaker 1: comes time for game time. And I'd like to see

2256
01:45:23,840 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: on the phone and hear your answer, Louis. I think

2257
01:45:26,520 --> 01:45:28,599
Speaker 1: it's a great observation by you. You're right, there are

2258
01:45:28,760 --> 01:45:31,920
Speaker 1: a ton of guys out there who are gamers. They

2259
01:45:32,040 --> 01:45:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of go along in practice, and let's face it

2260
01:45:34,000 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: that they're a little bit limited in practice. That guys

2261
01:45:36,320 --> 01:45:39,120
Speaker 1: don't go full out. They're not tackling, they're not competing.

2262
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:40,880
Speaker 1: They're not doing the same things you would do in

2263
01:45:40,960 --> 01:45:43,280
Speaker 1: a game. The results of the players aren't the same.

2264
01:45:43,520 --> 01:45:46,240
Speaker 1: And when you get in games and when you turn

2265
01:45:46,320 --> 01:45:48,600
Speaker 1: it up all the way, some guys thrive in that.

2266
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:52,600
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you this, Duke Williams is going to

2267
01:45:52,680 --> 01:45:55,160
Speaker 1: have to do that. He's got to catch some people's

2268
01:45:55,240 --> 01:45:57,320
Speaker 1: eye to move up a depth chart that's starting to

2269
01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,840
Speaker 1: get really deep at the top and really solidified at

2270
01:45:59,840 --> 01:46:02,599
Speaker 1: the top. If Duke Williams wants to do something, he's

2271
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:04,800
Speaker 1: gonna have to do a couple of things. One is

2272
01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 1: really show up when he gets in these games. He's

2273
01:46:08,160 --> 01:46:09,760
Speaker 1: got to make some plays. He's got to be in

2274
01:46:09,840 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 1: the right spot, do the right things, make the plays

2275
01:46:12,880 --> 01:46:16,000
Speaker 1: when his opportunity comes. And if he gets called on

2276
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:18,840
Speaker 1: to cover kicks or return kicks or whatever it is,

2277
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,080
Speaker 1: he's got to do that really well. He's got to

2278
01:46:22,080 --> 01:46:24,320
Speaker 1: do it really way. He's got to show some enthusiasm

2279
01:46:24,400 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 1: and a ton of effort. Whether he makes a tackle

2280
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 1: on punt coverage or on kickoff coverage or not, he's

2281
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:32,000
Speaker 1: got to give a full hundred percent effort and do

2282
01:46:32,120 --> 01:46:34,880
Speaker 1: it the right way. He can't just come out run

2283
01:46:34,920 --> 01:46:36,639
Speaker 1: the wrong route, go out there and have the quarterback

2284
01:46:36,680 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: throw it up and have him win a fifty fifty ball.

2285
01:46:39,120 --> 01:46:41,760
Speaker 1: He's got to run the route the right way, be

2286
01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,640
Speaker 1: in the right spot, and compete when it comes his

2287
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:47,120
Speaker 1: chance to compete. And he's got to win in these

2288
01:46:47,240 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 1: games because I think at this point, and Brownie you

2289
01:46:50,200 --> 01:46:53,080
Speaker 1: can speak to this too, he's up against it. There's

2290
01:46:53,080 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: it's a numbers game at that wide receiver spot. He's

2291
01:46:55,720 --> 01:46:57,920
Speaker 1: got to do it in these games because these games

2292
01:46:57,960 --> 01:47:00,760
Speaker 1: are weighted more heavily and his opportunities are a little

2293
01:47:00,760 --> 01:47:04,479
Speaker 1: bit fewer and far between. He's he is. He offers

2294
01:47:04,560 --> 01:47:08,080
Speaker 1: something that this receiving core needs, which is size. Guys,

2295
01:47:08,120 --> 01:47:10,840
Speaker 1: the guy that can win the contested catch battles, jump

2296
01:47:10,920 --> 01:47:13,040
Speaker 1: all battles in the back of the end zone. But

2297
01:47:13,160 --> 01:47:16,400
Speaker 1: he's got to demonstrate that he can capably do that

2298
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 1: and be an asset in that fashion for this passing offense.

2299
01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:22,559
Speaker 1: Short of that, he's not going to be on the roster.

2300
01:47:22,760 --> 01:47:25,360
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's got to have a big preseason from

2301
01:47:25,439 --> 01:47:27,680
Speaker 1: start to finish, Like it's got a it's got to

2302
01:47:27,720 --> 01:47:30,479
Speaker 1: start tonight. And you know, there's a part of me

2303
01:47:30,560 --> 01:47:32,519
Speaker 1: that always wonders, and I agree with Louis. I think

2304
01:47:32,520 --> 01:47:35,640
Speaker 1: there are players who are quote unquote gamers. You know,

2305
01:47:35,960 --> 01:47:38,439
Speaker 1: they're not really that impressive in the practice setting. You know,

2306
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,360
Speaker 1: they kind of make a play here. Then the games

2307
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:42,120
Speaker 1: and the lights come on, it's like, whoa where did

2308
01:47:42,160 --> 01:47:44,519
Speaker 1: this guy come from? And I thought Robert Foster was

2309
01:47:44,520 --> 01:47:47,760
Speaker 1: a little bit that way last year, slow starting camp,

2310
01:47:48,320 --> 01:47:50,160
Speaker 1: really didn't do a whole lot, and then the first

2311
01:47:50,200 --> 01:47:53,719
Speaker 1: couple of preseason games, comedy flashes like, Oh that looks good.

2312
01:47:53,880 --> 01:47:55,559
Speaker 1: I like that. I'm just about to ask you about

2313
01:47:55,640 --> 01:47:57,880
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. Where is he now? I saw what happened

2314
01:47:57,960 --> 01:48:01,439
Speaker 1: last year? Where does he now? As far as I

2315
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:03,559
Speaker 1: think he's fine, I mean I think he's okay, he's

2316
01:48:03,600 --> 01:48:06,599
Speaker 1: probably your four, the same spot he was last year.

2317
01:48:06,720 --> 01:48:09,240
Speaker 1: Well yeah, he was like he was way on the

2318
01:48:09,280 --> 01:48:13,479
Speaker 1: bubble last year, and I think he's I think he's

2319
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 1: probably your four right now. And then you know your

2320
01:48:16,800 --> 01:48:19,280
Speaker 1: five is Andre Roberts. And if you're keeping six, you're

2321
01:48:19,320 --> 01:48:22,880
Speaker 1: talking like Ray Ray McLeod that group in there. Um.

2322
01:48:23,720 --> 01:48:27,519
Speaker 1: But I think Roberts your four. Uh, he's too physically talented.

2323
01:48:27,560 --> 01:48:30,720
Speaker 1: The reason he's the four is because he's essentially John

2324
01:48:30,800 --> 01:48:33,799
Speaker 1: Brown's backup he does a lot of the same things.

2325
01:48:34,200 --> 01:48:37,560
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say this, a lot of people unfairly

2326
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,720
Speaker 1: tabbed John Brown as a deep threat, and we saw

2327
01:48:40,760 --> 01:48:43,800
Speaker 1: on training camp he is far more than that. People

2328
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 1: forget last four weeks of the season last year, Robert

2329
01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 1: Foster wasn't just running go routes. I mean he was

2330
01:48:49,280 --> 01:48:52,320
Speaker 1: running deep crossers, he was running curls, comebacks. I mean,

2331
01:48:52,400 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 1: he was diversifying his route tree late last season. And

2332
01:48:56,360 --> 01:48:58,680
Speaker 1: I think that is in him. I just don't think

2333
01:48:58,720 --> 01:49:01,439
Speaker 1: we've seen it enough in but I'm trying to. I

2334
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: was trying to remind myself, you know, he really didn't

2335
01:49:03,600 --> 01:49:05,800
Speaker 1: show up until the preseason cames last year. That's only

2336
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:08,559
Speaker 1: that's the first time I really started noticing him, because

2337
01:49:08,600 --> 01:49:10,360
Speaker 1: he did have a nice spring as a rookie here

2338
01:49:10,479 --> 01:49:14,160
Speaker 1: last year, made some plays, got behind the defense with regularity.

2339
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,240
Speaker 1: Then training camp came, I'm like, oh, is this a

2340
01:49:16,280 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: guy that can't play with the pads on? And then

2341
01:49:18,200 --> 01:49:19,880
Speaker 1: we got to the preseason and all of a sudden,

2342
01:49:19,880 --> 01:49:22,120
Speaker 1: he started flashing atop not a lot, but just one

2343
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:24,680
Speaker 1: or two plays here. They were like, ooh, that looks good.

2344
01:49:24,920 --> 01:49:27,519
Speaker 1: Let's see even him build on that and he turned

2345
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: it into a roster spot. I'm wondering if he's on

2346
01:49:30,040 --> 01:49:32,840
Speaker 1: kind of the same path here again this year in

2347
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:35,320
Speaker 1: terms of when we see more of what he is capable,

2348
01:49:35,600 --> 01:49:37,519
Speaker 1: except that he does have the cachet of what he

2349
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:40,160
Speaker 1: did last year at the end of the season to

2350
01:49:40,320 --> 01:49:42,200
Speaker 1: build on this. You know, they know it's in there

2351
01:49:42,240 --> 01:49:44,240
Speaker 1: somewhere and if if it shows up, they'll you know,

2352
01:49:44,600 --> 01:49:46,479
Speaker 1: he gets the benefit of the doubt because of it.

2353
01:49:46,720 --> 01:49:50,720
Speaker 1: You think McDermott. McDermott reminded you were there, me and

2354
01:49:50,760 --> 01:49:53,439
Speaker 1: you yesterday about something about Robert Foster that wasn't here

2355
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:56,840
Speaker 1: last year. Competition. Yeah, they have a better receiving corps

2356
01:49:57,000 --> 01:49:59,040
Speaker 1: and Robert Foster is feeling that a little bit. That

2357
01:49:59,080 --> 01:50:01,599
Speaker 1: thing I would agree with that. Yeah. And you either

2358
01:50:01,760 --> 01:50:05,360
Speaker 1: rise above it and compete with it, or you shrink.

2359
01:50:05,960 --> 01:50:08,519
Speaker 1: You know, you either you either push yourself harder and

2360
01:50:08,600 --> 01:50:10,960
Speaker 1: make it happen, or you shrink from it. And you

2361
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:14,120
Speaker 1: learn a lot about people when competition comes. And you know,

2362
01:50:14,280 --> 01:50:18,200
Speaker 1: some you hear coaches say competition makes everybody better. Some

2363
01:50:18,360 --> 01:50:20,760
Speaker 1: people shrink from it and can't handle it, and those

2364
01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:22,360
Speaker 1: are the guys that don't last. In this line, you're

2365
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:25,400
Speaker 1: not saying no, I'm not saying that's Robert Foster. But

2366
01:50:26,479 --> 01:50:28,200
Speaker 1: they got to find out to make sure he's got

2367
01:50:28,760 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 1: he's got to make sure that he locks down his

2368
01:50:30,840 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 1: spot by performing here in preseason. Yeah, it's different. It's

2369
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:35,800
Speaker 1: a different atmosphere in that wide receiver room than it

2370
01:50:35,840 --> 01:50:39,160
Speaker 1: was a year ago. There was less competition. There was

2371
01:50:39,240 --> 01:50:41,160
Speaker 1: more room at particularly at the bottom of the roster

2372
01:50:41,280 --> 01:50:45,280
Speaker 1: for these guys. And to impress, you have to do

2373
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:47,800
Speaker 1: more this year. All these guys have to play better

2374
01:50:47,920 --> 01:50:50,160
Speaker 1: this year to stand apart from the guys like Cole

2375
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:54,160
Speaker 1: Beasley and John Brown who are playing pretty well. You know,

2376
01:50:54,240 --> 01:50:57,360
Speaker 1: So if you're gonna jump up into the mix, you

2377
01:50:57,479 --> 01:50:59,639
Speaker 1: got to do it in practice as well as the game.

2378
01:50:59,680 --> 01:51:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got to play better all around. And

2379
01:51:01,800 --> 01:51:04,720
Speaker 1: I think you know, you can't have guys who, you know,

2380
01:51:04,760 --> 01:51:06,840
Speaker 1: there's young guys last year like Zay, like a Ray,

2381
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:09,760
Speaker 1: Ray McLeod and Robert Foster. They can't ride that roller

2382
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:11,679
Speaker 1: coaster of being good one day and bad the next,

2383
01:51:11,880 --> 01:51:14,040
Speaker 1: or being bad in practice and playing pretty well in

2384
01:51:14,080 --> 01:51:16,439
Speaker 1: the games. They got to start to do it all

2385
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: the time to make this team rather than last year's team.

2386
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: Taking on the phone call while Chris Brown is with us,

2387
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:23,640
Speaker 1: it is Brandon and Tanawana. Go ahead, Brandon, welcome to

2388
01:51:23,680 --> 01:51:26,320
Speaker 1: the show. Thank you very much for smurky. I have

2389
01:51:26,400 --> 01:51:29,600
Speaker 1: a question now. I know Shady McCoy is going to

2390
01:51:29,680 --> 01:51:32,680
Speaker 1: be starting running backs for the Bills, but is it

2391
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:36,519
Speaker 1: possible that they could start the preseason with Devin's Siggle

2392
01:51:36,600 --> 01:51:40,920
Speaker 1: Cherry and Frank Gore to see different packages for the

2393
01:51:41,200 --> 01:51:44,960
Speaker 1: offensive Fluren, Well, we're gonna start tonight's game with Frank.

2394
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: Gordon McDermott told us said yesterday Shady's not going to play. Um. Well,

2395
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:51,439
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's about the different packages for

2396
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:53,479
Speaker 1: the offensive line. I think they have decisions to make.

2397
01:51:53,520 --> 01:51:55,000
Speaker 1: What do you guys think at running back? They want

2398
01:51:55,040 --> 01:51:56,760
Speaker 1: to get a look at people, right, Yeah, they know

2399
01:51:57,080 --> 01:51:59,519
Speaker 1: they know who Sean Lashawn McCoy is. They don't need

2400
01:51:59,560 --> 01:52:01,120
Speaker 1: to watch think they have a pretty good handle on

2401
01:52:01,160 --> 01:52:02,800
Speaker 1: who Frank Gore is. But they want to see more

2402
01:52:02,840 --> 01:52:06,000
Speaker 1: tonight obviously. Yeah, and you know Devin Singletary, You're gonna

2403
01:52:06,000 --> 01:52:07,559
Speaker 1: get a belly full of him, I think, or during

2404
01:52:07,600 --> 01:52:09,760
Speaker 1: this preseason, so we'll see a ton of him for sure.

2405
01:52:10,800 --> 01:52:15,120
Speaker 1: What was right? Brandon? Still there? Is he anything else?

2406
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,160
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I have a question. Do you think of

2407
01:52:18,439 --> 01:52:22,720
Speaker 1: Tom Sweeney? Is long? Probably have other tightens from the

2408
01:52:22,800 --> 01:52:28,120
Speaker 1: bills not have a starting um position, because I think

2409
01:52:28,200 --> 01:52:31,040
Speaker 1: Tom sweeney is actually a good tight end. He is

2410
01:52:31,120 --> 01:52:33,640
Speaker 1: a good tight end. We'll see how good tonight and

2411
01:52:33,920 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 1: through the thing. But here's the thing. Tommy Sweeney's the

2412
01:52:36,200 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: last guy standing. I mean, that's the way it is

2413
01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:41,599
Speaker 1: right now. There are three guys ahead of him who

2414
01:52:42,040 --> 01:52:46,400
Speaker 1: aren't playing, and Sweeney, to his credit, has not fumbled

2415
01:52:46,439 --> 01:52:48,680
Speaker 1: it away. He's making the most of it. And we'll

2416
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:50,479
Speaker 1: see how long he can hang on to it when

2417
01:52:50,520 --> 01:52:52,479
Speaker 1: these guys start to come back off injury. But that's

2418
01:52:52,479 --> 01:52:54,760
Speaker 1: a big question. It's it's gonna be very interesting to

2419
01:52:54,800 --> 01:52:56,639
Speaker 1: see what the numbers wind up being at the tight

2420
01:52:56,760 --> 01:52:58,880
Speaker 1: end position. And I think a lot of it is

2421
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:03,280
Speaker 1: Tommy Sweeney's fewer could potentially hinge on Tyler Croft's availability.

2422
01:53:03,400 --> 01:53:05,280
Speaker 1: You don't think they're going to keep eight tight ends

2423
01:53:05,320 --> 01:53:07,160
Speaker 1: like they have on the Rostering. I don't know if

2424
01:53:07,200 --> 01:53:09,479
Speaker 1: they're going to keep more than four. And so you say, well,

2425
01:53:09,520 --> 01:53:11,720
Speaker 1: where are you where are you clipping? You know, I

2426
01:53:11,840 --> 01:53:14,080
Speaker 1: think they feel like they've invested a lot of time

2427
01:53:14,120 --> 01:53:16,360
Speaker 1: and energy in Jason Croom, and even though his hamstring

2428
01:53:16,479 --> 01:53:19,120
Speaker 1: has not been very good. You know, you wonder, you

2429
01:53:19,200 --> 01:53:22,400
Speaker 1: know we do we keep going here with Jason Croom.

2430
01:53:23,439 --> 01:53:25,439
Speaker 1: He was flashing in the spring, and then he yanks

2431
01:53:25,520 --> 01:53:27,680
Speaker 1: his hamstring, and then he does it again. You know,

2432
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:29,880
Speaker 1: we're early in training camp and we haven't seen him

2433
01:53:29,920 --> 01:53:33,360
Speaker 1: since Dawson Knox now sideline with a hamstring and Tyler

2434
01:53:33,400 --> 01:53:38,479
Speaker 1: Croft needed a foot surgery. I'm I'm really, I'm really

2435
01:53:38,560 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 1: eager to see what's gonna unfold there because someone is

2436
01:53:42,000 --> 01:53:43,559
Speaker 1: not going to be on this roster that I think

2437
01:53:43,640 --> 01:53:47,600
Speaker 1: some people may have anticipated. If Tyler Croft is not

2438
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:50,760
Speaker 1: ready to play at the start of the season, you

2439
01:53:50,920 --> 01:53:53,600
Speaker 1: have an easy move to make there, and that's to

2440
01:53:53,680 --> 01:53:56,800
Speaker 1: put him on reserve pup and you keep the other

2441
01:53:56,880 --> 01:54:01,559
Speaker 1: four Croom, Lee Smith, Dawson knock Tommy Sweeney. Those are

2442
01:54:01,600 --> 01:54:04,960
Speaker 1: the four you keep. I think, regardless of whatever happens

2443
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:08,600
Speaker 1: with the injured people, I think they're keeping four. I

2444
01:54:08,720 --> 01:54:11,120
Speaker 1: really do think they're gonna keep four. So now that

2445
01:54:11,240 --> 01:54:13,000
Speaker 1: means you gotta you know, you gotta rob from Peter

2446
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:14,720
Speaker 1: to pay Paul on the offensive side of the ball,

2447
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:16,240
Speaker 1: and we'll get into that as we get closer to

2448
01:54:16,680 --> 01:54:19,559
Speaker 1: roster cutdown day. But it's not gonna be easy. May

2449
01:54:19,640 --> 01:54:21,439
Speaker 1: before lets you go, Step brought this up, and I

2450
01:54:21,520 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 1: think it's a good point because you fast forward. Do

2451
01:54:23,960 --> 01:54:27,280
Speaker 1: this for me, Chris, fast forward fourth quarter. Let's say, um,

2452
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:31,200
Speaker 1: Tyre tonight, Yes, Tyree Jackson for the Bills, Chad Kelly

2453
01:54:31,640 --> 01:54:34,360
Speaker 1: for the Colts. What do you think that'll be kind

2454
01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:38,120
Speaker 1: of fun? It'll be like a college game. Yeah, um,

2455
01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:41,680
Speaker 1: that'll be kind of fun. No, a couple of local guys, sure, yeah,

2456
01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:44,680
Speaker 1: two guys who are well I know Chad Kelly's played

2457
01:54:44,680 --> 01:54:47,640
Speaker 1: in that stadium, so yeah, um as Tyree Jackson. No,

2458
01:54:47,800 --> 01:54:51,280
Speaker 1: yesn't I know? So this will be his first Okay,

2459
01:54:51,400 --> 01:54:53,960
Speaker 1: well you know it's gonna happen. It is gonna happen. Yeah, Oh,

2460
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,160
Speaker 1: it'll have Oh it might happen for a quarter and

2461
01:54:56,200 --> 01:54:58,120
Speaker 1: a half, you know there maybe more. Yeah, there's some

2462
01:54:58,160 --> 01:55:00,200
Speaker 1: stuff going on in this game tonight, because is the

2463
01:55:00,240 --> 01:55:02,240
Speaker 1: first game we haven't seen anybody. And I want to

2464
01:55:02,280 --> 01:55:04,640
Speaker 1: see Devin Singletary in a game live. I want to

2465
01:55:04,720 --> 01:55:06,920
Speaker 1: see Tyree Jackson. I want to I want to see

2466
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:11,160
Speaker 1: Chad Kelly too, And I want to see Uh, Tommy Sweeney,

2467
01:55:11,160 --> 01:55:13,480
Speaker 1: I want to see some of these guys play in

2468
01:55:13,560 --> 01:55:15,560
Speaker 1: a game where they're gonna get tackled to the ground

2469
01:55:15,680 --> 01:55:17,600
Speaker 1: or have to tackle somebody to the ground. I want

2470
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:19,680
Speaker 1: to see, like you said, I want to see Siran

2471
01:55:19,800 --> 01:55:22,680
Speaker 1: Neil in the slot against t Y Hilton. Let's see

2472
01:55:22,720 --> 01:55:27,240
Speaker 1: what you got, you know, because that's a hard cover. Um.

2473
01:55:28,680 --> 01:55:30,200
Speaker 1: There's so much going on in this and even the

2474
01:55:30,280 --> 01:55:32,400
Speaker 1: guys down the roster, we've been watching this. You know,

2475
01:55:32,640 --> 01:55:35,240
Speaker 1: Christian Wade, how about Christian Wade. You know Christian Wade

2476
01:55:35,240 --> 01:55:37,520
Speaker 1: probably going to get on the field right right, Yeah,

2477
01:55:37,560 --> 01:55:39,880
Speaker 1: you probably get a little run at the end. That's awesome, man,

2478
01:55:40,480 --> 01:55:42,720
Speaker 1: because I think, and I don't know if this I

2479
01:55:42,880 --> 01:55:46,000
Speaker 1: just I'm just talking, Christian Wade is a free exemption

2480
01:55:46,080 --> 01:55:48,400
Speaker 1: on the practice squad all year. I don't think there's

2481
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:52,680
Speaker 1: any way he makes the fifty three, but I think

2482
01:55:52,720 --> 01:55:54,920
Speaker 1: they kind of want him around. I want to they

2483
01:55:54,960 --> 01:55:56,640
Speaker 1: want to see if he can and give him another

2484
01:55:56,760 --> 01:55:58,800
Speaker 1: chance to do this next year if he wants to

2485
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:01,080
Speaker 1: hang in here with the Bills, and he may just say,

2486
01:56:01,080 --> 01:56:02,400
Speaker 1: you know what, if I'm not making the fifty three,

2487
01:56:02,400 --> 01:56:06,240
Speaker 1: I'm going back and playing rugby. The Bills. Do you know, Chris,

2488
01:56:07,440 --> 01:56:11,000
Speaker 1: he's allocated to the team. He's an extra. I don't

2489
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 1: have to look that up. I don't know. Well, certainly

2490
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:16,480
Speaker 1: the Bills can. If the Bills can release him, I

2491
01:56:16,520 --> 01:56:19,040
Speaker 1: don't think they can't. I mean, yeah, they say thanks,

2492
01:56:19,120 --> 01:56:22,000
Speaker 1: but no thanks. But if he makes a practice squad,

2493
01:56:22,120 --> 01:56:24,560
Speaker 1: the Bills would pay him, right, not the league? Yeah? Yeah,

2494
01:56:24,720 --> 01:56:26,280
Speaker 1: you know what, I don't know. If he doesn't make

2495
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:28,920
Speaker 1: the roster, he automatically goes on their practice squad. He

2496
01:56:28,960 --> 01:56:31,360
Speaker 1: doesn't count towards their ten player total. And then I

2497
01:56:31,480 --> 01:56:33,840
Speaker 1: think once he's designated to the practice squad, they are

2498
01:56:33,920 --> 01:56:36,520
Speaker 1: not allowed to elevate him to the active roster this year.

2499
01:56:36,760 --> 01:56:41,600
Speaker 1: This year, that is right, Yeah, but I want to

2500
01:56:41,680 --> 01:56:44,040
Speaker 1: say he is locked in for the whole season on

2501
01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 1: the practice squad, like they can't just get rid of

2502
01:56:46,720 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: him because he doesn't count towards their roster total. Anyway,

2503
01:56:48,960 --> 01:56:51,760
Speaker 1: because the ultimate goal here is the player development for

2504
01:56:51,840 --> 01:56:54,920
Speaker 1: these international players. So if memory serves when I was

2505
01:56:54,960 --> 01:56:58,280
Speaker 1: reading through the rules for the international player allocations, once

2506
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:00,760
Speaker 1: he is designated to your practice squad, he is locked

2507
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:02,600
Speaker 1: in and on that practice squad til the end of

2508
01:57:02,600 --> 01:57:04,320
Speaker 1: the season. Coming up on the website. What do you

2509
01:57:04,400 --> 01:57:06,040
Speaker 1: have for a game? Game? Right now, We've got five

2510
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:08,640
Speaker 1: players to watch, so I know Singletary is on that list.

2511
01:57:09,840 --> 01:57:11,720
Speaker 1: I'll have to look back. I can't remember all five

2512
01:57:11,760 --> 01:57:14,160
Speaker 1: off the top of my head to people. But you know,

2513
01:57:14,240 --> 01:57:16,520
Speaker 1: we'll have our game coverage. We'll recap the game after.

2514
01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:18,760
Speaker 1: It's kind of a drive through window kind of recap,

2515
01:57:18,920 --> 01:57:20,720
Speaker 1: kind of you can read it on your phone in

2516
01:57:20,760 --> 01:57:23,520
Speaker 1: about two minutes if in case you missed portions of

2517
01:57:23,600 --> 01:57:26,000
Speaker 1: the game. And then we'll have our top three things

2518
01:57:26,040 --> 01:57:29,640
Speaker 1: we learned from tonight's game. It could be Devin Singletary

2519
01:57:29,720 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 1: can handle picking up the blitz, it could be you know,

2520
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:33,040
Speaker 1: it could be any one of those kind of developing

2521
01:57:33,160 --> 01:57:35,760
Speaker 1: things that unfold through the course of the preseason. We'll

2522
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: have those covered for you. Hey you Chris, Yeah, man,

2523

01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,120
Speaker 1: that you guys mentioned that you're you're in too deep

2542
01:58:42,120 --> 01:58:44,440
Speaker 1: because I actually had a question about the roster. Yeah.

2543
01:58:45,360 --> 01:58:48,880
Speaker 1: Chris mentioned that there were some players that the general

2544
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:51,080
Speaker 1: public might assume are going to make the roster and

2545
01:58:51,200 --> 01:58:54,680
Speaker 1: some players, um that might not make the roster that

2546
01:58:54,760 --> 01:58:56,720
Speaker 1: we'd expect to make the roster. So you guys are

2547
01:58:56,760 --> 01:58:59,400
Speaker 1: around the team all the time, so I was just wondering,

2548
01:58:59,480 --> 01:59:01,400
Speaker 1: what is your opinion, what are some of those players

2549
01:59:01,440 --> 01:59:03,880
Speaker 1: that Mike make the roster that we're not expecting some

2550
01:59:03,880 --> 01:59:06,760
Speaker 1: employers that we're expecting to make the rosters that might not. Yeah,

2551
01:59:07,120 --> 01:59:09,080
Speaker 1: that's a good question, really good question. And I don't know.

2552
01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:11,920
Speaker 1: I me to look at my little flip card here. Um,

2553
01:59:12,400 --> 01:59:14,080
Speaker 1: let me start with guys who might make it that

2554
01:59:14,720 --> 01:59:17,120
Speaker 1: maybe people don't know about. I mean, I think I

2555
01:59:17,200 --> 01:59:20,120
Speaker 1: think folks should be aware of Mike Love. You you

2556
01:59:20,280 --> 01:59:23,080
Speaker 1: into that name, Josh and old Mike Love is Yeah.

2557
01:59:23,120 --> 01:59:25,440
Speaker 1: I actually follow the Buffalo fanatics and they're big on

2558
01:59:25,600 --> 01:59:28,200
Speaker 1: his name. He's he's a good player, and he's backing

2559
01:59:28,280 --> 01:59:31,720
Speaker 1: up Jerry Hughes, and I think he kind of looks

2560
01:59:31,760 --> 01:59:35,280
Speaker 1: at himself as a Jerry Hughes acolyte. And um, I

2561
01:59:35,400 --> 01:59:37,440
Speaker 1: think Mike Love is a guy who's probably gonna make

2562
01:59:37,480 --> 01:59:40,520
Speaker 1: the roster. I think, Um, I had another one here

2563
01:59:41,000 --> 01:59:43,480
Speaker 1: coming off. Well, there's a guy that's been on the

2564
01:59:43,600 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 1: team for a couple of years now and was a

2565
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:48,480
Speaker 1: fan favorite when he made it. Um that is going

2566
01:59:48,560 --> 01:59:50,400
Speaker 1: to have a hard time doing it because of the numbers,

2567
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:57,280
Speaker 1: and that's um Eddie yarbro Um. It's getting deep on

2568
01:59:57,360 --> 02:00:00,520
Speaker 1: the defensive line and you know, we shack laws and

2569
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:03,800
Speaker 1: they drafted Daryl Johnson this year who is an who's

2570
02:00:03,800 --> 02:00:06,880
Speaker 1: a real athlete. Um, there's a lot of guys who

2571
02:00:07,000 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Eli Harrold is a really a physical specimen who's got

2572
02:00:09,920 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: some abilities. So that that that maybe ninth defensive lyneman

2573
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:18,880
Speaker 1: who's going to be a special teams guy. I mean,

2574
02:00:18,960 --> 02:00:21,200
Speaker 1: that's that that's up in the air. But Eddie Yarbro's

2575
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:23,880
Speaker 1: put together a nice little career here in Buffalo. UM,

2576
02:00:24,240 --> 02:00:26,680
Speaker 1: and it's getting to be pretty hard over there on

2577
02:00:26,720 --> 02:00:28,920
Speaker 1: the defensive line to make a make a name for yourself.

2578
02:00:29,640 --> 02:00:31,440
Speaker 1: So there's other guys like that. And then there's some guy,

2579
02:00:31,480 --> 02:00:33,680
Speaker 1: you know, like Robert Foster. We've talked about it. It's

2580
02:00:34,720 --> 02:00:41,839
Speaker 1: Robert Foster's a guy. There's uh Ray Ray McLeod, cam Phillips,

2581
02:00:42,120 --> 02:00:44,840
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie. These guys are not getting, you know, all

2582
02:00:44,920 --> 02:00:47,240
Speaker 1: that many reps. Uh, And we're gonna have to keep

2583
02:00:47,280 --> 02:00:48,680
Speaker 1: our eye on them in these games and see how

2584
02:00:48,760 --> 02:00:50,880
Speaker 1: they perform and whether they can do other things other

2585
02:00:50,960 --> 02:00:53,280
Speaker 1: than play wide receiver. If they can play wide receivers,

2586
02:00:53,360 --> 02:00:57,160
Speaker 1: so well, they do stick as a wide receiver. So

2587
02:00:57,760 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 1: all of those names you get off that top eleven,

2588
02:01:00,000 --> 02:01:02,280
Speaker 1: in the top twenty two guys on either side of

2589
02:01:02,320 --> 02:01:04,880
Speaker 1: the ball, or maybe top eighteen guys on every side

2590
02:01:04,920 --> 02:01:06,080
Speaker 1: of either side of the ball, and you got like

2591
02:01:06,680 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 1: four to six guys who are going to wash through

2592
02:01:09,800 --> 02:01:13,640
Speaker 1: their year to year and it's it's it's at this point.

2593
02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:16,120
Speaker 1: There's an old saying, and I've told you this too, Murph.

2594
02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:20,040
Speaker 1: There's always surprise guys who make the team as rookie,

2595
02:01:20,160 --> 02:01:23,800
Speaker 1: undrafted or guys off the radar at the beginning of camp.

2596
02:01:23,920 --> 02:01:27,839
Speaker 1: And there's always guys who you think are absolute perennial

2597
02:01:28,680 --> 02:01:31,760
Speaker 1: roster spots who do not make it. Yeah, Josh, who

2598
02:01:31,840 --> 02:01:35,960
Speaker 1: do you have in mind somebody? Is that what you called? Um? No,

2599
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:39,800
Speaker 1: I've fort so for the positions to watch. I was

2600
02:01:39,880 --> 02:01:42,040
Speaker 1: looking at the wide receiver because I think after Zay

2601
02:01:42,560 --> 02:01:45,520
Speaker 1: Cole and John Brown, it's kind of tough because you

2602
02:01:45,600 --> 02:01:47,640
Speaker 1: hear about all these names that are doing very well,

2603
02:01:47,720 --> 02:01:51,520
Speaker 1: you know, Andrey Roberts, Ray Ray McCloud and Cam Phillips,

2604
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:53,600
Speaker 1: guys who we didn't expect to make the roster that

2605
02:01:53,680 --> 02:01:56,040
Speaker 1: are playing well. Then guys that people wanted to make

2606
02:01:56,080 --> 02:01:58,120
Speaker 1: the roster that you haven't heard much of, you know,

2607
02:01:58,240 --> 02:02:02,320
Speaker 1: Duke Williams. Yep, I think we're a couple of guys

2608
02:02:02,360 --> 02:02:04,560
Speaker 1: that people wanted to make the roster, maybe expected it

2609
02:02:04,600 --> 02:02:07,240
Speaker 1: because if he needed that big bide receiver. Yep, let

2610
02:02:07,280 --> 02:02:09,320
Speaker 1: me just add one name to the group of your

2611
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:13,640
Speaker 1: group of receivers who have a better than fifty fifty shot.

2612
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:15,720
Speaker 1: I think Isai McKenzie's had a really good camp. He'll

2613
02:02:15,760 --> 02:02:18,760
Speaker 1: need to do something in these games. And Andre Roberts,

2614
02:02:18,840 --> 02:02:20,560
Speaker 1: I think is not a lock, but I think he's

2615
02:02:20,720 --> 02:02:25,760
Speaker 1: most likely on the roster. So if you go Brown, Roberts, Beasley,

2616
02:02:26,800 --> 02:02:31,080
Speaker 1: and Zay, that's four. I Look, I think I think

2617
02:02:31,360 --> 02:02:33,720
Speaker 1: Robert Foster still has a better than even Shoutow being

2618
02:02:33,800 --> 02:02:36,680
Speaker 1: the roster, that's five. I don't think he's you know,

2619
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 1: played himself off the roster or anything like that, but yeah,

2620
02:02:39,160 --> 02:02:42,320
Speaker 1: there's guy. And look, there's no way that the Bills

2621
02:02:42,360 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 1: don't look at David Sills as a rookie and say,

2622
02:02:45,440 --> 02:02:47,000
Speaker 1: you can get that guy in our practice squad and

2623
02:02:47,000 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: see where we're going with him next year. Right. I

2624
02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:50,720
Speaker 1: mean that part of the equation too, for the decision makers.

2625
02:02:50,720 --> 02:02:54,400
Speaker 1: When you agree Josh, yeah, no, I agree with that.

2626
02:02:54,520 --> 02:02:56,880
Speaker 1: I thought that would be that's what they would do

2627
02:02:56,960 --> 02:02:59,120
Speaker 1: with them. I think the one receiver that I wasn't

2628
02:02:59,160 --> 02:03:03,560
Speaker 1: expecting to get in there was Ray Ray McLeod. Yeah,

2629
02:03:04,160 --> 02:03:05,520
Speaker 1: he's a little bit off the radar at the end

2630
02:03:05,560 --> 02:03:09,200
Speaker 1: of the last year. Not a roster locke, but Steve,

2631
02:03:09,280 --> 02:03:12,120
Speaker 1: I think it was Sean did talk about him on

2632
02:03:12,160 --> 02:03:14,720
Speaker 1: our show yesterday right about how much more mature he

2633
02:03:14,920 --> 02:03:16,960
Speaker 1: is this year, how much more focus he is this

2634
02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:19,080
Speaker 1: year than he was a year ago. And that matters,

2635
02:03:19,200 --> 02:03:22,120
Speaker 1: right in an entire offseason in the program, that matters,

2636
02:03:22,160 --> 02:03:23,560
Speaker 1: and he's made the most of it. I give him

2637
02:03:23,560 --> 02:03:25,160
Speaker 1: a lot of credit. We'll see what he can do tonight.

2638
02:03:25,600 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call, Josh, What do you think? Who

2639
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:29,440
Speaker 1: are you watching the closest tonight? Give us a call.

2640
02:03:29,520 --> 02:03:31,080
Speaker 1: We got time to talk about it. Eight oh three

2641
02:03:31,160 --> 02:03:34,080
Speaker 1: oh five fifty toll Free one eight eight eight five

2642
02:03:34,240 --> 02:03:36,800
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty Bills and Colts at seven o'clock.

2643
02:03:37,120 --> 02:03:40,360
Speaker 1: One of eleven games preseason games in the NFL. One

2644
02:03:40,400 --> 02:03:42,600
Speaker 1: of them that will start at seven as well is

2645
02:03:42,640 --> 02:03:45,960
Speaker 1: the Jets and the Giants in the Meadowlands MetLife Stadium

2646
02:03:46,320 --> 02:03:50,280
Speaker 1: and the debut. You would think anyway that the quarterback,

2647
02:03:50,320 --> 02:03:53,120
Speaker 1: the rookie quarterback, Daniel Jones, gets some playing time for

2648
02:03:53,160 --> 02:03:55,840
Speaker 1: the new York Giants. Right, that'll be interesting to see. Steve. Yeah,

2649
02:03:57,040 --> 02:03:58,640
Speaker 1: we were just talking about in the control room and

2650
02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:00,840
Speaker 1: I was like, you know, watch and you know what,

2651
02:04:00,880 --> 02:04:03,400
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna wait to hear. The Giant fans are

2652
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:05,680
Speaker 1: gonna be either love the guy or they're gonna hate him.

2653
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:07,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be one or the other. There's not gonna

2654
02:04:07,040 --> 02:04:09,280
Speaker 1: be any gray area for this Daniel Jones thing with

2655
02:04:09,440 --> 02:04:12,600
Speaker 1: Dave Gettlman, the general manager who you know, was vilified

2656
02:04:12,680 --> 02:04:17,040
Speaker 1: for picking a quarterback. I'm gonna wait to see how

2657
02:04:17,040 --> 02:04:18,720
Speaker 1: he does, but I think he is. You're right, Murph,

2658
02:04:18,720 --> 02:04:20,240
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna see a lot of him tonight.

2659
02:04:20,640 --> 02:04:24,200
Speaker 1: He's gonna get a chance to throw the football around. Now.

2660
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:25,840
Speaker 1: I don't know who he's gonna throw it too. I

2661
02:04:25,880 --> 02:04:27,440
Speaker 1: don't know how he's gonna be protected, and I don't

2662
02:04:27,440 --> 02:04:28,920
Speaker 1: know how their offense is gonna look as a whole.

2663
02:04:29,960 --> 02:04:33,680
Speaker 1: But Daniel Jones is gonna be very, very scrutinized by

2664
02:04:33,760 --> 02:04:35,680
Speaker 1: the Giant fans and the front office out and I

2665
02:04:35,720 --> 02:04:37,520
Speaker 1: think he's gonna get a chance to either sink or

2666
02:04:37,560 --> 02:04:39,880
Speaker 1: swim tonight. I think Lebyan Bell's playing for the Jets, right,

2667
02:04:39,920 --> 02:04:41,400
Speaker 1: did they ever make up their mind on that. He

2668
02:04:41,480 --> 02:04:43,360
Speaker 1: hasn't played in what a year and a half or

2669
02:04:43,440 --> 02:04:47,960
Speaker 1: more since January of twenty eighteen. But I think Bell

2670
02:04:48,000 --> 02:04:49,760
Speaker 1: will probably get some snaps for the Jets tonight. And

2671
02:04:49,840 --> 02:04:52,960
Speaker 1: let's say miss something overnight. Here's an interesting it'll be

2672
02:04:53,000 --> 02:04:54,760
Speaker 1: a late night game. But the Cardinals are home with

2673
02:04:54,880 --> 02:04:57,720
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray. They're home against the Chargers ten o'clock. Maybe

2674
02:04:57,760 --> 02:04:59,200
Speaker 1: that'll be on TV so you can watch it when

2675
02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:01,320
Speaker 1: you go home tonight. See, but Kyler Murray's gonna be

2676
02:05:01,320 --> 02:05:04,160
Speaker 1: interesting to watch. I mean, the Cardinals have put the

2677
02:05:04,240 --> 02:05:06,560
Speaker 1: fortunes of their franchise in his hands. I don't know

2678
02:05:06,560 --> 02:05:07,680
Speaker 1: if he's up to it. I don't know if you

2679
02:05:07,760 --> 02:05:10,160
Speaker 1: get that answer tonight, you probably won't. But that'll be

2680
02:05:10,280 --> 02:05:12,760
Speaker 1: a game worth watching, I would think, huh, very much.

2681
02:05:12,800 --> 02:05:15,120
Speaker 1: So we talked about it a little bit. I think

2682
02:05:15,120 --> 02:05:16,560
Speaker 1: it was in one of our true falls or maybe

2683
02:05:16,600 --> 02:05:19,640
Speaker 1: what's for lunch menu items over the course of the

2684
02:05:19,720 --> 02:05:23,760
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Is how much pressure is Kyler

2685
02:05:23,840 --> 02:05:27,280
Speaker 1: Murray under. I think he's under enormous pressure. He may

2686
02:05:27,320 --> 02:05:30,920
Speaker 1: not feel it because he's so young and he's just listen,

2687
02:05:31,000 --> 02:05:32,800
Speaker 1: he's the number one draft pick. He's not going to

2688
02:05:32,840 --> 02:05:36,480
Speaker 1: go anywhere until and for a while, and he's gonna

2689
02:05:36,480 --> 02:05:39,160
Speaker 1: get every chance to be successful. But man, oh man,

2690
02:05:39,320 --> 02:05:41,520
Speaker 1: they have hitched their wagon not only to him but

2691
02:05:42,480 --> 02:05:45,320
Speaker 1: as a franchise quarterback. But the head coach has hooked

2692
02:05:45,400 --> 02:05:49,360
Speaker 1: his wagon to this kid. He's plugged in as a

2693
02:05:49,480 --> 02:05:53,480
Speaker 1: rookie opening day one starter. He's been penciled into the

2694
02:05:53,520 --> 02:05:56,720
Speaker 1: starter since the moment he was drafted. And he is

2695
02:05:56,880 --> 02:05:59,960
Speaker 1: a different kind of NFL quarterback than we've ever seen.

2696
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:03,280
Speaker 1: He's short, he's got a lot of athletic ability, he's

2697
02:06:03,320 --> 02:06:05,120
Speaker 1: got a good arm, and he's got a lot of

2698
02:06:05,760 --> 02:06:10,400
Speaker 1: success behind him at Oklahoma. But we haven't seen a

2699
02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: quarterback like him in the NFL. And I don't know

2700
02:06:12,800 --> 02:06:15,160
Speaker 1: that it's gonna work. Nobody does. There's a lot of

2701
02:06:15,240 --> 02:06:19,080
Speaker 1: optimism out there, no question, but I think he's under

2702
02:06:19,120 --> 02:06:21,640
Speaker 1: an enormous amount of pressure to play and play well

2703
02:06:21,720 --> 02:06:24,800
Speaker 1: this season. One of the other eleven games tonight, and

2704
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:27,360
Speaker 1: this one starts at seven thirty kickoff tonight in Miami

2705
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:31,000
Speaker 1: the Dolphins in the Atlanta Falcons, with Ryan Fitzpatrick getting

2706
02:06:31,040 --> 02:06:33,840
Speaker 1: the start for the Miami Dolphins. Josh Rosen likely to play.

2707
02:06:34,600 --> 02:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Fitz gets to start the first preseason game, but I

2708
02:06:36,760 --> 02:06:39,120
Speaker 1: don't know that that quarterback battle is settled yet, So

2709
02:06:39,480 --> 02:06:41,600
Speaker 1: maybe some evidence tonight to which way the Dolphins are going.

2710
02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:45,560
Speaker 1: Huh right? Yeah, we all? I Hey, I love watching

2711
02:06:45,600 --> 02:06:47,680
Speaker 1: Fitz he play. I mean, what are we get kidding?

2712
02:06:47,720 --> 02:06:51,600
Speaker 1: I mean, the guy's great, you know, I don't I

2713
02:06:51,600 --> 02:06:53,120
Speaker 1: don't know whether I want to cheer for him or

2714
02:06:53,120 --> 02:06:55,640
Speaker 1: against him though, right, even in a preseason game. Or

2715
02:06:55,680 --> 02:06:57,080
Speaker 1: do I want him to play well? Do I want

2716
02:06:57,160 --> 02:06:58,880
Speaker 1: him to be the guy that plays against the Bills

2717
02:06:59,400 --> 02:07:03,160
Speaker 1: on some level? I kind of do, right, just for fun, right,

2718
02:07:03,520 --> 02:07:05,840
Speaker 1: because I've seen the guy ride that roller coaster. I

2719
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:07,800
Speaker 1: know he'll throw it to us a couple of times, right,

2720
02:07:07,880 --> 02:07:11,760
Speaker 1: So that's you know? Or is Josh Rosen even worse?

2721
02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:14,000
Speaker 1: You know? Do I want to see that guy? I

2722
02:07:14,000 --> 02:07:16,440
Speaker 1: want to see him struggle to get through a rookie seat.

2723
02:07:16,480 --> 02:07:18,440
Speaker 1: Do I want to get take a chance on Rosen

2724
02:07:18,520 --> 02:07:21,280
Speaker 1: developing into something that may beat us one day? Yeah?

2725
02:07:21,480 --> 02:07:23,920
Speaker 1: I mean the Bills don't see the Dolphins still October twentieth,

2726
02:07:23,960 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: So I'm not too worried about that right now. It's

2727
02:07:25,800 --> 02:07:28,120
Speaker 1: a little early to think about it. I grant you that,

2728
02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:29,920
Speaker 1: but still it's in there, right, I mean not to

2729
02:07:30,080 --> 02:07:31,920
Speaker 1: think about that. Yeah. One of the eleven games the

2730
02:07:31,960 --> 02:07:33,680
Speaker 1: Bills on the Colts one of them too. Steve and

2735
02:07:57,520 --> 02:08:01,400
Speaker 1: today's show? Presented by Advanced Alarm providing New York's homes

2736
02:08:01,480 --> 02:08:05,120
Speaker 1: and businesses with the finess and security and Home Theater,

2737
02:08:05,240 --> 02:08:08,560
Speaker 1: the preferred alarm and home theater provider of the Buffalo Bills.

2738
02:08:08,600 --> 02:08:10,920
Speaker 1: We had a good show today, a little rough patch

2739
02:08:11,000 --> 02:08:13,560
Speaker 1: in the middle, but we survived. At Chris Brown on

2740
02:08:13,680 --> 02:08:16,320
Speaker 1: the show always interesting. The Bills insider from Buffalo Bills

2741
02:08:16,360 --> 02:08:18,640
Speaker 1: dot Com, Chris Brown talked to us. We asked him

2742
02:08:18,680 --> 02:08:20,760
Speaker 1: the question on on Twitter poll, what is he watching

2743
02:08:20,840 --> 02:08:22,680
Speaker 1: closely tonight for the Bills when they go up against

2744
02:08:22,720 --> 02:08:25,600
Speaker 1: the Colts. Here's what he said. I want to watch

2745
02:08:25,720 --> 02:08:29,160
Speaker 1: Devin Singletary on offense. I'm encouraged by what I've seen

2746
02:08:29,240 --> 02:08:31,840
Speaker 1: in practice from Devin Singletary. Obviously it's hard not to

2747
02:08:31,920 --> 02:08:34,920
Speaker 1: love his college tape, and I think his decision making

2748
02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:36,800
Speaker 1: has been very good in tight areas, which is what

2749
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:39,080
Speaker 1: made him a draft pick in the first place. But

2750
02:08:39,200 --> 02:08:41,880
Speaker 1: I want to see it against the different defense, you know.

2751
02:08:41,920 --> 02:08:43,560
Speaker 1: I want to see how he does in blitz pick up,

2752
02:08:43,600 --> 02:08:47,480
Speaker 1: which I know coach has complimented him on knowing his assignments.

2753
02:08:47,680 --> 02:08:49,840
Speaker 1: I gotta say, you look at this draft class on

2754
02:08:49,880 --> 02:08:54,080
Speaker 1: the surface at first blush. I mean, not only is

2755
02:08:54,080 --> 02:08:57,360
Speaker 1: it a talented draft class, it's a pretty intelligent high

2756
02:08:57,440 --> 02:09:01,880
Speaker 1: football IQ draft class. You can go from Ed Oliver

2757
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:03,760
Speaker 1: all the way down to Tommy Sweeney. You've got a

2758
02:09:03,800 --> 02:09:06,600
Speaker 1: lot of smart kids that they have brought in on

2759
02:09:06,720 --> 02:09:09,120
Speaker 1: this roster who are handling a lot of responsibilities. When

2760
02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:11,200
Speaker 1: you think about what Singletary has to do. I mean

2761
02:09:11,240 --> 02:09:15,000
Speaker 1: they've got them out there in third down packages. Yes,

2762
02:09:15,080 --> 02:09:17,440
Speaker 1: they do. And thanks to Chris Brown for joining us.
