Speaker 1: Kelso and Sal Capacho on the sidelines for the Bills

155
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:02,960
Speaker 1: in Carolina. We got talking the other day in Rochester

156
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:06,200
Speaker 1: about preparing for the broadcast and we'll get through our

157
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: Twitter poll in a second. It's a good one, I

158
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:10,600
Speaker 1: might add. We got talking the other day about preparing

159
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: for the broadcast and the mechanics of it, and over

160
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,640
Speaker 1: the last few days, I think, well, I finished it

161
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday night, right, today's Thursday, did spotting boards. I did

162
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: the Bills on Monday night and the Carolina Panthers on

163
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,240
Speaker 1: Tuesday and Steve is asking what my spotting board looks like.

164
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:27,960
Speaker 1: And here it is. It's clean because I haven't marked

165
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: anything on it yet because we haven't played a game yet.

166
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:33,160
Speaker 1: This is the Buffalo Bills spotting board. What I tell you,

167
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,559
Speaker 1: it's twenty two by fourteen is pretty big. The older

168
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: I get, the more I need, the bigger you write. Yeah,

169
00:07:38,600 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: but it's basically and you asked the kind of the

170
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: way I did it, I put you know, you're laid

171
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,120
Speaker 1: by position, lay it out like the way they'll line it.

172
00:07:46,360 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: That's the offensive this side that you're looking at as

173
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,560
Speaker 1: the offensive side and the defense though, and you can

174
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,680
Speaker 1: sell it. It's in a different configure. And we got

175
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: talking about this and we actually had the conversation with

176
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,680
Speaker 1: markelso to the fact that you and I both I

177
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: think you do it too right, like to write it

178
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: down yourself. And I looked at Rob, your boy, Robs, yeah,

179
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,120
Speaker 1: he's printed, he's printed out. I don't know if he

180
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: did it himself, the actual and it took a couple

181
00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 1: hours Monday Monday night to do this. That helps me

182
00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: learn these guys who they are. And I know the

183
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:16,920
Speaker 1: bill's pretty well where camp every day, but printing it

184
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: out every day, or printing it out for a couple

185
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 1: hours on Monday night helps you learn, Like remind you

186
00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 1: who's playing, where where do they come from? I got

187
00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 1: my color code. Mine red are the this year's draft picks. Blue,

188
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:33,800
Speaker 1: The heavier blue is this year's unrestricted free agents. The

189
00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 1: lighter blue is just street free agents. Green is I

190
00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 1: don't know if there's any greens on the offense. Green

191
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: to me indicates a undrafted rookie free agent. Boat girl,

192
00:08:43,920 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: there you go, yeah to beer, undrafted sand foster. Yeah. Yeah,

193
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: So that's the way I do it. And offense on

194
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,440
Speaker 1: one side, defense on the other. I got another card

195
00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: just like this for the Carolina Panthers. This it's pretty

196
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: low tax. I'm a little embarrassing if it's pretty low tax.

197
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 1: Well it is, but you know what, but it works.

198
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,840
Speaker 1: After a week or two, you start making notes on

199
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 1: that thing of stuff you want to get into the broadcast, mean,

200
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,400
Speaker 1: you start to get it covered up with notes and

201
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: all of that. In fact, that's mine. I make one

202
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 1: for the bills and then I just get I just

203
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: get it going to the print shop there at the stadium. Yeah,

204
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 1: and I get them to get an oversized list of

205
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 1: the Carolina roster. That's all I use for Carolina. Yeah,

206
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: pretty for these preseason games, because it's all Bills all

207
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,440
Speaker 1: the time for us, and you just kind of note

208
00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:26,319
Speaker 1: that who made the tackle, who made the catch, who

209
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: threw it, and then for the rest of it, it's

210
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,480
Speaker 1: all the Bills, either both on offense and defense. So

211
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,280
Speaker 1: I really don't spend too much time on the Carolina

212
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: PA loses. I need it well. And I was thinking

213
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 1: about that last night when I sat down and did

214
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,080
Speaker 1: some more work, looked at both depth charts, how the

215
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: stories for our audience, your audience too, the Bills TV

216
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:44,160
Speaker 1: audience and Bills radio audience. They're you know, they want

217
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: to know who they playing against. They want to know

218
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: a little bit about Carolina, but they're really interested in

219
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: the Bills, the battles for positions, the battle for the

220
00:09:50,920 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 1: starting quarterback job, and so the focus for all of us,

221
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 1: I think, and these broadcasts ours and yours tonight is

222
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 1: the Bills. Who's playing, who's playing with whom, how are

223
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,680
Speaker 1: they playing? Right? That's what Carolina is a good team

224
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: and some interesting We're not here to tell you that

225
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: Carolina story, all right, It's been interesting for me too,

226
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,199
Speaker 1: because this year, obviously, because we're doing the show from

227
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:11,280
Speaker 1: there every day. I mean, I've I've watched every practice.

228
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,720
Speaker 1: Usually i'll go over and spend maybe one day before

229
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: that preseason watching practice, and I'll and I'll read everything

230
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,320
Speaker 1: on the website and all that. But now just going

231
00:10:18,360 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: over there and watching every single practice, talking to everybody

232
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:25,319
Speaker 1: or involved, talking to players and having guests on the show, man,

233
00:10:25,760 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: you know, it just seems like there's so much to

234
00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,400
Speaker 1: talk about in this game leading up to tonight about

235
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: you know, everybody. We're talking to Ray Crockett today on

236
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,839
Speaker 1: the show because we just traded for Corey Coleman, and

237
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,560
Speaker 1: Ray Crockett pulled him literally pulled him off the streets

238
00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 1: in Dallas, probably saved him, probably saved the kid's life

239
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: or at least made it, gave him a future. Stuff

240
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: like that going on, and all that's all over the roster.

241
00:10:50,559 --> 00:10:54,319
Speaker 1: So it's uh, let alone the actual evaluation process that

242
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: coaches are going through. I told you this the other day,

243
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:58,080
Speaker 1: I really you are gonna have a You're gonna have

244
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: as good a broadcast tonight and all these preseason games,

245
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,439
Speaker 1: the three you're doing as you've ever had in preseason

246
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:06,120
Speaker 1: just because you've been a camp, because you've seen these guys,

247
00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,120
Speaker 1: you don't have to look at your roster to see

248
00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 1: who guys are. That takes a lot of it, a

249
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,079
Speaker 1: lot out of it, and you'll have story stuff you saw.

250
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because you get to the point where

251
00:11:14,960 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 1: it's almost it was this way when we played. You'd

252
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: see somebody walking in their uniform, you knew who they

253
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: were without looking at the jersey. You could just recognize them. Forget.

254
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: You didn't even care. There are some guys on the team,

255
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 1: and there's I'd go back and I would recognize them

256
00:11:28,040 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: walking in their uniform more than I would recognize their

257
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: jersey number because you knew them so well, you know,

258
00:11:33,559 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 1: And it was that's the way it's getting a training camp.

259
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,719
Speaker 1: Now you've seen these guys every day, practice in and

260
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 1: run around their pat you get you know them by

261
00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 1: the by their body shape, by their body language, by

262
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: what they look like in their uniform, and forget about

263
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: the jersey number. Right, Well, that's just our job, and

264
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,559
Speaker 1: Steve and I each have different jobs tonight, and it's

265
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: just part of the big picture. The big picture, the

266
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: most important picture, obviously is the team. The Buffalo Bills,

267
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: and that's what everyone's gonna focus on tonight. I expect

268
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:00,959
Speaker 1: a big crowd and I didn't know there are fifty

269
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: thousand season tickets sold. I hope it's a big crowd.

270
00:12:03,440 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: It's going to be a beautiful night, and I hope

271
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 1: you get a chance to come here. If not, listen

Speaker 1: three h five fifty is the number to call in

283
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: the Buffalo area. Outside the area code, it's eight eight

284
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:44,080
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty. What's the best thing

285
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: we can get out of Tonight's Bills preseason game against Carolina?

286
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: It's a close vote, which the Steve Tasker rule. If

287
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:52,200
Speaker 1: you got a close vote, it's a good Twitter poll.

288
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: Thirty four percent of you say the best thing to

289
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,600
Speaker 1: come out of tonight's game would be that Josh Allen

290
00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,120
Speaker 1: could be a starter. Now we're gonna put you know,

291
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen lights it up. Maybe that'll happen. But just

292
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:05,439
Speaker 1: if you come out of this game and your takeaway is, hey,

293
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, maybe he's the guy for September night, that

294
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 1: might be in your mind the best thing that could happen.

295
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 1: Thirty two percent of you say the next best thing

296
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: would be that the offensive line's gonna be okay. Steve

297
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,760
Speaker 1: and I've been talking about that four months since Incognito left,

298
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,600
Speaker 1: since Eric would have left, I think, and Steve I

299
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 1: think it feels the same way. I think. We believe

300
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: that they have adequate replacements there veterans. They're not plugging

301
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 1: guys who'd never played. So maybe that's your best takeaway.

302
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: The offensive line will be okay. Thirty percent of you

303
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,480
Speaker 1: look at that. It's like a three way split perfect.

304
00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: Thirty percent of you say the best thing that could

305
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: come out of tonight's game Bills Carolina is that Tremaine

306
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: Edmonds shows that he's a stunt. All indications are he

307
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,160
Speaker 1: is going to be a stunt. He's doing the heavy

308
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: lifting mentally on the Buffalo defense right, getting the singles

309
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,439
Speaker 1: from the sidelines, relay in the place to his teammates,

310
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,719
Speaker 1: and lining people up. He's working hard at it. Even

311
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:57,679
Speaker 1: when he came back after the six weeks off, we

312
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 1: talked him, right, what you do in your six weeks off? Oh,

313
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:02,480
Speaker 1: I'd pretty much dug into the playbook a right when

314
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:04,320
Speaker 1: he was all right, right, right. When he's not vacation,

315
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:06,960
Speaker 1: he's doing the same at training camp. And he's a

316
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: big physical specimen too. By the way, I can't wait

317
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: to see him play some real life football tonight for

318
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:15,199
Speaker 1: me and Edmondston. By the way, everything that we've talked about,

319
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: he has exceeded expectations and been impressive in every aspect

320
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:22,880
Speaker 1: of what he's been asked to do, and particularly and

321
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 1: the stuff he's not been asked to do, like studying

322
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: when he's been away, Like like digging into the playbook

323
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 1: when it hasn't been you know, he hasn't been asked

324
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:35,400
Speaker 1: to do that. He has far exceeded expectations. Not forget

325
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 1: about the code about his teammates. His teammates have been

326
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 1: impressed with his maturity. His teammates have been impressed with

327
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 1: his work ethic and his ability to handle everything, not

328
00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:48,920
Speaker 1: just handle it, but thrive in it. I mean, there

329
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 1: just hasn't been a single criticism of anything about what

330
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: he has done in training camp or in the mini

331
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 1: camps or OTAs. I mean, he has just hit it

332
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 1: out of the park every day when he's been out there,

333
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 1: and it's been fun. So yeah, you'd look at this

334
00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: Twitter polls. Could be Josh Allen, could be Termaine Edmonds,

335
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 1: could be the offensive line. It is one of the

336
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 1: top three Twitter polls of all time. We got about

337
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 1: five hundred votes in in the hour that it's been up.

338
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: We take your votes on Twitter. We'd love to hear

339
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 1: your voice. Eight oh three five fifty toll free one

340
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:19,200
Speaker 1: eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. What is

341
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: the best case scenario for tonight's preseason opener? What's the

342
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 1: best thing we can get out of the bills in

343
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,480
Speaker 1: Carolina tonight? Give us a call and we will discuss.

344
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:28,080

00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: three o'clock today as we get set for preseason game

346
00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: number one. The Bills and the Carolina Panthers gave you

347
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: the rundown. The chefs are going to join us at

348
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 1: twelve thirty. Ray Krocket, former NFL defensive back at one

349
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 1: and Thed Brown, sideline reporter on the Bills television network,

350
00:15:41,800 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 1: going to join us at two o'clock tonight. A lot

351
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: of room for your thoughts on tonight's game as we

352
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:48,880
Speaker 1: get set for this first preseason game again. Lines open

353
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 1: eight O three five fifty and toll free one eight

354
00:15:51,680 --> 00:15:54,600
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. News today not

355
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,960
Speaker 1: much pretty quiet around here. Players will begin showing up

356
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: in the next couple of hours or so to get

357
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:01,720
Speaker 1: into their pregame will so I'm trying to think, you know, obviously,

358
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 1: the quarterback battle is something to watch tonight, the battle

359
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 1: for the starting center spot Ryan Groy against Russell Bodine,

360
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 1: Nickel corner Tarren Johnson, Phillip Games, tons of backup spots

361
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:13,960
Speaker 1: that are in play not likely. A couple of players

362
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: not likely to play, you would think. Wide receivers Zay

363
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: Jones still has not practice full in camp, so don't

364
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:21,160
Speaker 1: look for him tonight. Defensive en Trent Murphy has been

365
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:22,360
Speaker 1: out a little bit more than a week now with

366
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: a growing injury. Do not look for him tonight. And

367
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 1: wide receiver Corey Coleman, he just got here one day

368
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 1: of practice on Tuesday. I do not look for him

369
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: to play tonight. But there'll be enough players to watch. Well,

370
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 1: there's plenty to go around. There's plenty of go around.

371
00:16:34,400 --> 00:16:36,560
Speaker 1: And we're you know, we're getting feedback from this this

372
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,680
Speaker 1: Twitter poll as well. Now, you know a lot of

373
00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:41,840
Speaker 1: people say listen, and this goes without saying that people

374
00:16:41,880 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: did no injuries. That's one of the other answers. You know,

375
00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't want anybody get injured. I just want to

376
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:49,720
Speaker 1: look crisp, you know. And some people's expectations are extremely low.

377
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,720
Speaker 1: I think some of the veteran football fans who've been

378
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 1: out there, you know, the guys who remember the rock

379
00:16:54,840 --> 00:16:57,040
Speaker 1: pile and that kind of thing, they're saying, listen, just

380
00:16:57,080 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 1: look crisp, you know, just look like a football team.

381
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 1: It's hard for people who have been watching this team

382
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: for decades upon decades to get all too excited about

383
00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: the first preseason game of another year. But I'm kind

384
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 1: of excited. I'm excited. People are excited. There's a lot

385
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:18,760
Speaker 1: of newness about this year that is very, very interesting

386
00:17:18,760 --> 00:17:21,359
Speaker 1: to me. I think it's as interesting a preseason as

387
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: the Bills have had in a long time. I mean,

388
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 1: they had a three way quarterback competition a couple of

389
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 1: years ago when Tyrod Taylor won it, But this one's

390
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,080
Speaker 1: different and I think a little bit more interesting because

391
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: you've got a premium draft pick, a premium blue chip

392
00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,399
Speaker 1: seventh overall pick in the mix for starting quarterback. That

393
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:39,160
Speaker 1: to me makes it even more compelling than a couple

394
00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,639
Speaker 1: of years ago when Tyrod Taylor won a three way competition.

395
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: Right on the tweet sheet on our question, on our

396
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 1: question about what's the best thing to come out of

397
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: tonight's game, Nick tweets in the best thing would be

398
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: to see Josh Allen lighted up and do things we

399
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: haven't seen in years. Three hundred yards passing, three touchdowns,

400
00:17:55,800 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 1: fifty on the ground, wide receiver catches over the middle,

401
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:02,120
Speaker 1: hashtag Let's go Buffalo, a display of a real quarterback

402
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:06,440
Speaker 1: with his arm. He's getting Nick is getting all excited

403
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: about it. But you're right, yeah, I mean, yeah, we Tyrode,

404
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,199
Speaker 1: you know, got into the playoffs last year. But we

405
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: knew his limitations say, we're not gonna scare you with

406
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 1: the passing game. Right, They didn't scare anybody with the

407
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:20,159
Speaker 1: thirty first rank passing game. There's an opportunity, maybe not tonight,

408
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,239
Speaker 1: maybe not even at the start of the season, at

409
00:18:23,240 --> 00:18:26,200
Speaker 1: the start anyway, there's an opportunity though, for Josh Ellen

410
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 1: to rewrite that script, to change that script, and if

411
00:18:28,800 --> 00:18:30,879
Speaker 1: he could get off to a good start tonight, I

412
00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:33,600
Speaker 1: think that'd be fantastic and a tremendous shot in the

413
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:35,399
Speaker 1: arm for Bills fans. Yeah, and you can tell it's

414
00:18:35,440 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: really true because people start to reply to us on

415
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: these Twitter and the longer the Twitter goes, the more

416
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:45,520
Speaker 1: excited they get in their risk. So from Tiffany Daniels,

417
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: a regular contributor, we need the old line to be

418
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,600
Speaker 1: a cohesive unit. If they're not in sync, all three

419
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: quarterbacks will struggle this year. Hopefully the scheme fits the

420
00:18:53,040 --> 00:18:57,120
Speaker 1: ability the players. Unlike last season's blocking, his zone blocking disaster.

421
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: Let's go Bills. And that's true. There's a lot of

422
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 1: things that people and I would caution, although not completely,

423
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,320
Speaker 1: this is a different team. This isn't last year's team

424
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: that overachieved got them to the playoffs. There's a lot

425
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,200
Speaker 1: of new faces. There's going to be a new quarterback,

426
00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be a lot of new identity. The

427
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,639
Speaker 1: front seven's fully revamped, so it's not gonna be like

428
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: last years. So I would say, listen, don't look for

429
00:19:18,160 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: them to fix problems from last year just as a

430
00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 1: reaction to say, hey, we had this problem last year,

431
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,080
Speaker 1: let's hope we don't have it this year. This team

432
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,399
Speaker 1: will have its own problems and its own identity. The

433
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,760
Speaker 1: stuff that you're looking for them to fix from last year,

434
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: that's it's not like the focus of this team. They're

435
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,240
Speaker 1: just trying to make this team as good as it

436
00:19:35,280 --> 00:19:37,879
Speaker 1: can be and play as good as it can on

437
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 1: both sides of the football. So, you know, reacting to

438
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: fixing problems last year. They're trying to get as good

439
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 1: as players on the field as they can and let

440
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,680
Speaker 1: this team decide who it's going to be by its play,

441
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,720
Speaker 1: and then we'll be able to evaluate as the season

442
00:19:50,760 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 1: goes on. The coaching staff and the players kind of

443
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 1: address those things as they come up. And Murph and

444
00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:58,440
Speaker 1: I have said this, they're not going to be thirty

445
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: first in the league in passing this year, they just aren't.

446
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: Things are gonna be This offense is gonna look different

447
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:07,640
Speaker 1: this year, and they're gonna turn it over, probably more

448
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,280
Speaker 1: than they did a year ago because of the fact

449
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,920
Speaker 1: that they're throwing it better. That sounds crazy, but it's

450
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: it's true. So I think, you know, don't get caught

451
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:18,480
Speaker 1: up in what you saw last year and having the

452
00:20:18,480 --> 00:20:21,600
Speaker 1: team react to that. They're not reacting to last year's problems.

453
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:23,640
Speaker 1: What they're doing is getting the best players they can

454
00:20:23,880 --> 00:20:25,640
Speaker 1: and make a team for this year. It's gonna look different,

455
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna feel different. A couple of fun tweets on

456
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,400
Speaker 1: this best case scenario tweet from who is it here?

457
00:20:31,600 --> 00:20:34,520
Speaker 1: Chris Clark tweets in best case scenario, best thing that

458
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: could happen to the Bills tonight, Alan goes off, Josh

459
00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 1: Allen goes off, and McDermott names him start around the spot.

460
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: That would be great. Post game, mc dermott goes to

461
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: the podium postgame and says, well, pretty obvious, Josh Allen's

462
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:48,639
Speaker 1: gonna start September night. Come on, wouldn't that be a

463
00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:51,840
Speaker 1: great I'll come tonight. Not like that's not That's not

464
00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,159
Speaker 1: how mc Dermott works. By way, No, it isn't, and

465
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: I don't know you. You and I would probably maybe

466
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: talk about that the next day on Friday. That might

467
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,000
Speaker 1: have showed tomorrow. By the way, we have a show tomorrow.

468
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: That would that might dominate the show tomorrow if he

469
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:06,879
Speaker 1: has that best thing to come out of to night

470
00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: wandering jack tweets and all great choices. I voted on

471
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:14,280
Speaker 1: line it's a foregune conclusion. Edmonds is a stud I'm

472
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,280
Speaker 1: excited to watch him that there was a little doubt there.

473
00:21:16,359 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: Alan is likely to show both pros and cons. I

474
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 1: think they'll need some time. But if the O line

475
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,000
Speaker 1: shows it hasn't skipped a beat, we'll be in great shape.

476
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: That would be a positive development. See if there are

477
00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:28,080
Speaker 1: a lot of questions that people have in their mind

478
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 1: about that offensive line, you and I have downplayed that

479
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,479
Speaker 1: simply because I mean, John Miller was a starter up

480
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:37,600
Speaker 1: until last year, right, Vlad Ducats started last year. Ryan

481
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 1: Groy did a heck of a job a couple of

482
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,080
Speaker 1: years ago. What nine games played is a start. He

483
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,359
Speaker 1: started too. I just it's not as if they're throwing

484
00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: rookies in there. I'll tell you what I was more

485
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:49,360
Speaker 1: worried about Dion Dawkins and how he would play last

486
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:51,040
Speaker 1: year as a rookie at left tackle than I am

487
00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 1: about the offensive line this year. I really want. I agree. Yeah,

488
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:56,000
Speaker 1: Well they had Cordy Glenn last year, although he was injured,

489
00:21:56,320 --> 00:21:58,200
Speaker 1: but once he was hurt, but once he was hurt. Yeah,

490
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: he has some real down there. I got a quite

491
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: here's a future Twitter poll, Murphy, think about this. How

492
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:05,959
Speaker 1: good could this team be if they haven if this

493
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: offensive line turns out to be improved and better than

494
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:10,360
Speaker 1: it was a year ago. Well, you got a great

495
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 1: running back and you got a team that wants to

496
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:15,000
Speaker 1: think about it. Yeah, how could Because that's the that's

497
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:16,960
Speaker 1: their aim. I mean, they want to get better than

498
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:18,719
Speaker 1: they were a year ago. They want to improve from

499
00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: where they were a year ago. They're gonna work to

500
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:24,280
Speaker 1: do that. What if they get it done, How good

501
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: could the team be? Yeah? All of a sudden that

502
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: changes things, does it not? Yeah? I mean I think

503
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna win seven to nine games if what you

504
00:22:31,880 --> 00:22:34,880
Speaker 1: say comes through. I'm gonna sick and say nine games probably,

505
00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,919
Speaker 1: But you know we're a long way from that, right,

506
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:38,600
Speaker 1: But that's but let's face it. That's what they strive

507
00:22:38,680 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: they're striving to do. They don't think they're gonna be

508
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: worse than they were a year ago. They think they're

509
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,119
Speaker 1: gonna get better. They think they're gonna be um a

510
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: quality offensive line. But let's face we got to see

511
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,120
Speaker 1: it before we believe it. YEP. Thoughts on the offensive

512
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,560
Speaker 1: line from Pete in Alden, New York. Go ahead, Pete,

513
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,439
Speaker 1: welcome to the show. Thanks guys. Yeah, even before you

514
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:58,840
Speaker 1: put the graphic up, I was thinking that a lot

515
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: of them would really go with the old line and

516
00:23:01,720 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: how well they play together and how malls are you

517
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 1: know jelling yea, they play well, that the quarterback play

518
00:23:09,200 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 1: a running play. Everything down the rest of the wale

519
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: follow along the line, I would say, yeah, look, and

520
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: let's let's look. We all know how this game is

521
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:20,560
Speaker 1: gonna play out tonight, right, first preseason game. Starter is

522
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 1: probably gonna go a couple of series, maybe into the

523
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: first quarter. There are other guys to watch and other

524
00:23:25,160 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: questions to be answered when you move down the depth

525
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: chart a little bit. And if I can call your

526
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:32,000
Speaker 1: attention to a couple of guys that have caught my attention.

527
00:23:32,720 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: A left tackle he's been moving at left and right

528
00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: tackle Connor McDermott, former New England Patriots, second year player

529
00:23:38,440 --> 00:23:41,760
Speaker 1: out of UCLA. He's massive, six eight, three hundred five

530
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,159
Speaker 1: pounds massive, and I think he's got He's got a

531
00:23:44,160 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: lot to offer, and I think the Bill's coaching staff

532
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 1: I've seen that number seventy four. DeAndre Wesley, third year

533
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: player out of BYU, showed up on the scene late

534
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 1: last year. They kept him around, brought him back. DeAndre

535
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: Wesley's had good moments at tackle primarily, but I think

536
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,359
Speaker 1: he can play some guard. These are some of the

537
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 1: backups to Obviously, you know about Whyat Teller, the fifth

538
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:05,600
Speaker 1: round pick from Virginia Tech. You've heard probably about Adam Redman,

539
00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:08,160
Speaker 1: the Harvard product in his first year, another guy who

540
00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,040
Speaker 1: came on board last year and they kept him around.

541
00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,520
Speaker 1: Some of the backups to watch. Now. The cohesion won't

542
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: be there with second and thirteen offensive lineman right, because

543
00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,440
Speaker 1: they're all different guys. That's when you get into audition time.

544
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,040
Speaker 1: But just if you're into watching offensive line, those would

545
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,960
Speaker 1: be the ones i'd watched. McDermott, Teller, Redman, and DeAndre Wesley,

546
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,879
Speaker 1: because guys all four of those have a really good

547
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:28,720
Speaker 1: chance to be backups here. And you got guys like

548
00:24:28,760 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 1: I Boatker from Ioways, who's you know, there's another massive

549
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: guy six six three thirteen, Josh James six five three

550
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:39,040
Speaker 1: fourteen from Carol, And you got Wesley and McDermott. Who

551
00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,840
Speaker 1: these guys are. They're all just massive guys and they

552
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 1: all are here for a reason. They all and some

553
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: of them came from really like mcdermot's from UCLA. They

554
00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: came from top notch stuff at top notch programs in college.

555
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,560
Speaker 1: But you get to that point where you really want

556
00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:56,640
Speaker 1: to see him do it. Now there's another thing too,

557
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 1: And I was just as you mentioned this that you

558
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:00,680
Speaker 1: want to see him get cohesion. It's going to be

559
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: hard to do that when they've been, you know, shuffling

560
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: in and out, even during training camp and rep to

561
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: rep guys will come in and out. It might be

562
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:11,240
Speaker 1: one of those times too, where the defense kind of

563
00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,240
Speaker 1: has an edge on the offense because they don't really

564
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,320
Speaker 1: have to be as cohesive as the offense. As I

565
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: said this earlier before, it's easy. The reason defenses usually

566
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 1: developed really quickly in training camp is because all you

567
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:24,439
Speaker 1: really need is one guy to make a play. And

568
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 1: the defense looks okay, offense not the that's not the case.

569
00:25:28,480 --> 00:25:30,680
Speaker 1: You've got to have everybody working and doing things the

570
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: right way or it's going to look pretty bad. So

571
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: tonight it may be that both defenses look a little

572
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,720
Speaker 1: better than the offenses doing. And we've seen it before

573
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: in the preseason, but you do want that being said,

574
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 1: you do want your offense to get in and out

575
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 1: of the huddle. Don't take off sides penalties, don't take

576
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 1: delay a game penalties. Look Crisp, and a couple of

577
00:25:48,480 --> 00:25:50,400
Speaker 1: people have tweeted in that's what they're looking for. Stay

578
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 1: injury free, and look Crisp at the line, look like

579
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: you know what you're doing. Look like a football team.

580
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,280
Speaker 1: And there is a lot to be said for that.

581
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: There is a lot to be said for that, because

582
00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:00,399
Speaker 1: these guys are thinking about a lot. Take it from

583
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: a guy who's been there. I remember, man, you are

584
00:26:03,119 --> 00:26:06,639
Speaker 1: your mind is swimming with everything you're trying to think

585
00:26:06,680 --> 00:26:10,200
Speaker 1: about in that game now, let alone competing. So there's

586
00:26:10,240 --> 00:26:12,800
Speaker 1: bound to be some rough spots in the games, not

587
00:26:12,840 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 1: on both sides, both for the Panthers and for the Bills,

588
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,199
Speaker 1: And you kind of got to live with that. If

589
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 1: you're a fan in this preseason you know what, see

590
00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 1: if you said a couple of times when we talk

591
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 1: about training camp, how as a young player in camp

592
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: you overreact to almost every snap or every consequential snap.

593
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,119
Speaker 1: You know, if you make a pretty good play, you're like,

594
00:26:28,119 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 1: oh my goodness, I'm gonna make the team. If you don't,

595
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,560
Speaker 1: you're like, oh my goodness, I'm gonna be cut tomorrow morning. Right.

596
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 1: What's it like in a preseason game? Is it even

597
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:36,200
Speaker 1: heightened when you're out there on the field, Like if

598
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 1: you're a bubble guy you're worried about being released. What's

599
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 1: it like to be out there and making plays play?

600
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 1: It's the same thing you tend to as a as

601
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 1: a particularly young player, you tend to see these games

602
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: as past fail. Huh. You know either either yeah, good stuff,

603
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: it was great, they're gonna you know, this one's gonna

604
00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: get me the next you know, this one's gonna do

605
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,440
Speaker 1: it for me, or that you don't really see gray area.

606
00:26:58,480 --> 00:26:59,760
Speaker 1: You don't see, hey, you had a couple of really

607
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,800
Speaker 1: nice things here. They could have done better here, made

608
00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: a mistake there, over made a good play over here.

609
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 1: You don't really see it as a mixed bag. You

610
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:11,119
Speaker 1: always see it as a pass fail, and you know

611
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 1: it's obviously not the case. But I can bet you

612
00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: when these guys walk off the field tonight, every last

613
00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: one of them will either have a positive or negative

614
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: feeling about how they did. All right, let's take another

615
00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:22,679
Speaker 1: phone call. What are you looking for? What is the

616
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 1: best thing you can get out of tonight's preseason game?

617
00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:27,480
Speaker 1: Steve in Ohio? Go ahead, Steve, Welcome to the show.

618
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: Hey John, Hey Steve, how are you guys doing? Good? Good? Good?

619
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 1: I just want a first day. I'm sorry, John, I

620
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: haven't been out there since the draft day and you

621
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:44,399
Speaker 1: were busy, adrenaline was going on, and you stopped to

622
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: take a picture outside of the studio. And I just

623
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,840
Speaker 1: want everybody on the radio and on the on the

624
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: TV to realize that, Murphy, you were a gem man.

625
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:56,760
Speaker 1: It was your plastic buffalo. Love love, love what you do.

626
00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,600
Speaker 1: That's nice. Thank you, Steve. You're welcome. It looks like

627
00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:03,200
Speaker 1: you and Seever having a lot of fun. I'm old school, Steve,

628
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:05,120
Speaker 1: used to go to see you guys play all the time.

629
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:09,719
Speaker 1: But my question is, my comment is you know the

630
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:14,960
Speaker 1: first game you want to see the game comes slow.

631
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: So what I'm looking for, I think Edmonds, I'd like

632
00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,040
Speaker 1: to see, just like in the first two or three plays,

633
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,679
Speaker 1: like you said, it is just just see if the

634
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,919
Speaker 1: game's working slow to them and if they're making the

635
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:28,080
Speaker 1: right reads. And I'm looking at the defense because that's

636
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,720
Speaker 1: what the hype is. We know that if we have

637
00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,639
Speaker 1: a good D that the offense hopefully will come along.

638
00:28:34,680 --> 00:28:37,719
Speaker 1: And I'm very excited about it. So I'm looking at

639
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: Edmonds and how he goes And my second and last

640
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: comments today it will be maybe what you just said, John,

641
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 1: about those four or five players I'm looking for when

642
00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: your conversation that on the next TV show will be about, wow,

643
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 1: this one guy did something that he came up, maybe

644
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,840
Speaker 1: the undrafted rookie or something like that. What's going to

645
00:28:56,920 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: be the surprise of the game. And I think maybe

646
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: down game two or game three, and then he gets

647
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 1: more to than nitty gritty. But I'm looking for Edmonds.

648
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking to see how the D handles it. And uh,

649
00:29:08,720 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: and that's it, and I'll hang up and I'll listen

650
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,440
Speaker 1: to your response. Good questions, really good questions, Steve. Thanks

651
00:29:15,440 --> 00:29:18,600
Speaker 1: for your calling, and he's right there. We're naming off names,

652
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: talking about guys and what are you looking for tonight?

653
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 1: There's at least one, maybe a couple of guys on

654
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: this roster, on this ninety man roster, who are gonna

655
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: surprise and that you're gonna jump out and we're gonna

656
00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,120
Speaker 1: be talking about tomorrow, like, hey, what about him? Did

657
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,840
Speaker 1: you see him? That's like like Eddie Yarborough last year,

658
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 1: Like Grant Brandon Riley last year, Rod Streeter who's having

659
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:39,920
Speaker 1: a great camp last year up until at the point

660
00:29:39,960 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 1: where he got injured. There'll be guys like that this year.

661
00:29:43,480 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: And the fact is on this first one, you'll see

662
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: him make a plan and say, oh, that's great, and

663
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 1: then they'll make another one. In the next game's like wow,

664
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: he did it again. And then the third game is

665
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: like wow, this guy's you know yeah, And that's what happens.

666
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 1: I think. Also the one telling thing he said, this

667
00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,360
Speaker 1: is a team that at the outset and out ear

668
00:30:00,480 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 1: the earliest of early going, looks like they're going to

669
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: depend on their defense. They need their defensive front seven

670
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 1: to be good. Their secondary is a proven commodity. They're

671
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna be good if they you know, they get out

672
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,480
Speaker 1: there and stay healthy. They're gonna be you know, it's

673
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: gonna be the anchor the team. How good do you

674
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:19,280
Speaker 1: really need your defense to look against the Carolina Panthers tonight?

675
00:30:19,320 --> 00:30:22,240
Speaker 1: You kind of need them to be pretty crisp, right.

676
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,120
Speaker 1: You need them if you're gonna depend on them the

677
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 1: whole season, they need to show it early on. I

678
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:28,480
Speaker 1: think a lot of people are thinking that I want

679
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:31,280
Speaker 1: my defense, I want it dependable, and I want to

680
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,960
Speaker 1: see that tonight. Yeah, best seeing you can get out

681
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:35,600
Speaker 1: tonight's preseason game. What do you think it is? We

682
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: got a pretty good Twitter proll going on pretty even votes.

00:30:38,320 --> 00:30:40,120
Speaker 1: We're gonna take more phone calls on this and get

712
00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:16,800
Speaker 1: the team out, running out on the field, but I

713
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: guess we were going to be standing on the platform.

714
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 1: I guess it will believe take it from it. It's

715
00:32:20,400 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 1: better to stand on the platform. Oh really are to

716
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:27,040

969
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,600
Speaker 1: access series that the Bills are putting together. The crew

970
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,960
Speaker 1: from PSCO, Google Sports and Entertainment and Buffalo Bills dot

971
00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,520
Speaker 1: Com Digital Media. So they're releasing gradually little clips from it,

972
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 1: and an interesting one came out last night with Sean

973
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:40,799
Speaker 1: McDermott at a team meeting instructing his players how to

974
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 1: move their feet. Here it is who in here. It

975
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: does not know who mc hammer is, Davis, you don't

976
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 1: know who mc hammer is. So when you played defense,

977
00:44:50,320 --> 00:44:52,560
Speaker 1: when you're attacking that near hip, you gotta have feet

978
00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: like mc hammer. I'm serious. That's how we played. You

979
00:44:58,200 --> 00:45:01,840
Speaker 1: gotta have feet like whether it's specially teams or offense,

980
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 1: you're taking the new hip, it's got to be mc

981
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 1: hammer all right. Watch his feet right here, one of

982
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:16,080
Speaker 1: the best dancers of all time. Look at him. You

983
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,280
Speaker 1: gotta have mc hammer feet, man, That's how the game's played.

984
00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:23,280
Speaker 1: Got this off of Kyle's playlist and the Wayward Yesterday

985
00:45:23,480 --> 00:45:26,880
Speaker 1: John McDermott part of Embedded, which starts the next Wednesday.

986
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:29,400
Speaker 1: But that's not the end of the story, because the

987
00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,960
Speaker 1: actual mc hammer responded he saw the clip online on

988
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 1: Twitter as well. Mc hammer responded with a salute to

989
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:40,280
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bill's tweet about mc hammer. August fifteen, Facebook

990
00:45:40,320 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 1: dot com bills embedded. Mc hammer tweets out salute with

991
00:45:43,640 --> 00:45:47,880
Speaker 1: I think those those are images of himself dancing. Yeah, yeah,

992
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: how about it. That's kind of cool. Yeah, and it's

993
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 1: funny too because this embedded I gotta watch this, I mean,

994
00:45:52,680 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 1: because it's uh, it does give some insight into the

995
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:58,279
Speaker 1: back of how the team works, and you'll see, like

996
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 1: you did right there, you see Sean McDermott talking to

997
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,600
Speaker 1: the team, because we see him every morning in the

998
00:46:04,600 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: press conference at Saint John Fisher. That's not the eye.

999
00:46:07,760 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: That's not really the Sean McDermott. We get a chance

1000
00:46:09,880 --> 00:46:12,479
Speaker 1: to see right when where he's kind of having fun

1001
00:46:12,560 --> 00:46:15,040
Speaker 1: and stuff, and you get a chance to see his

1002
00:46:15,120 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 1: preparedness and his seriousness, but you don't get a chance

1003
00:46:17,600 --> 00:46:20,560
Speaker 1: to really see his leadership skills when he stands in

1004
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: front of that team. You get that in full force,

1005
00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: and it's it's pretty cool to see the team respond

1006
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,879
Speaker 1: to him and have fun and see how he gets

1007
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: his guy's motivated. It's gonna I I can't wait for this.

1008
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 1: It's gonna they got access that nobody else gets and

1009
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,880

1011
00:46:39,560 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk to Ray Crockett, longtime veteran cornerback in

1012
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,160
Speaker 1: the NFL. Won a Super Bowl with the Denver Broncos.

1013
00:46:45,480 --> 00:46:48,720
Speaker 1: Very close connection Ray Crockett and builds new receiver Corey Coleman.

1014
00:46:49,040 --> 00:46:51,040
Speaker 1: That's coming up in the next hour plus, we'll revisit

1015
00:46:51,080 --> 00:46:53,279
Speaker 1: our Twitter poll, talk more about tonight's game. Come on

1016
00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:55,520
Speaker 1: back for more. One Bill's Live presented by a Lot

1017
00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:58,520
Speaker 1: of Health from One Bill's Drive. This is Buffalo Bill's

1018
00:46:58,600 --> 00:47:14,919
Speaker 1: Radio Hills Radio Networks Stories update. The update from One

1019
00:47:14,960 --> 00:47:17,640
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive where the Buffalo Bills are getting set to

1020
00:47:17,640 --> 00:47:20,439
Speaker 1: take the field tonight seven o'clock to their first preseason game.

1021
00:47:20,480 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 1: Head coach Sean McDermott offering no clues as to who

1022
00:47:23,560 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 1: his starting quarterback will be or how he will use

1023
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:29,080
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks in this first preseason game. He can choose

1024
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 1: between johsh Allen, his first round draft pick, A J.

1025
00:47:31,960 --> 00:47:35,960
Speaker 1: McCarron or last year's returner Nathan Peterman. Other battles to

1026
00:47:35,960 --> 00:47:39,520
Speaker 1: watch starting center Ryan Groy against Russell Bowdie Nicol corner

1027
00:47:39,600 --> 00:47:42,760
Speaker 1: Terren Johnson against Philip Gaines. All kinds of backup spots

1028
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:45,239
Speaker 1: up for grabs. Not likely that Zay Jones will be

1029
00:47:45,239 --> 00:47:47,400
Speaker 1: in the lineup tonight. He still is not practice fully

1030
00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,840
Speaker 1: yet in camp. Defensive end Trent Murphy not likely to

1031
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:53,839
Speaker 1: play with his growing injury wide receiver Corey Coleman, which

1032
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: just one day of practice. He is not likely to

1033
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:59,200
Speaker 1: play either. Bill's Carolina seven o'clock newer Afield got the

1034

Speaker 1: Television network, along with Rob Stone and Dad Brown. Seven

1039
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Panthers Tonight's opponent made a move to shore

1040
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: up their offensive line depth. They signed center guard Tyler

1041
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: Larson to a two year extension last night as new

1042
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,800
Speaker 1: deal with four point three million dollars. The Bills Carolina

1043
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:33,280
Speaker 1: game one of twelve preseason games on the schedule tonight,

1044

Speaker 1: the Bears and Bengals, also starting at seven o'clock tonight.

1046
00:48:39,680 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: Rams general manager Less Sneeds gave an update on contract

1047
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,880
Speaker 1: talks with holdout Aaron Donald. Yesterday said the team and

1048
00:48:45,920 --> 00:48:48,760
Speaker 1: a star defensive tackle are in the same zip code

1049
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: now in negotiations. Ask for clarification, Sneet said, I think

1050
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: we all know what that means. Means you're close, but

1051
00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: you still have not agreed. The Oakland Raiders want Pro

1052
00:48:57,320 --> 00:48:59,440
Speaker 1: Bowl left tackle Donald Penn to take a pay cut

1053
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,439
Speaker 1: a year after he helped out and got a raise

1054
00:49:01,480 --> 00:49:05,240
Speaker 1: in a contract extension last year. Mike Zimmer not afraid

1055
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: to make examples of his best player. He held the

1056
00:49:07,719 --> 00:49:11,720
Speaker 1: corner to Savior Roads and receiver Stefan Diggs out of practice.

1057
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:14,400
Speaker 1: They've been chirbuting at each other. Bison's open a homestand

1058
00:49:14,400 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 1: tonight home at seven or five against Quinetta Coca Cola

1059

1088
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:44,920
Speaker 1: Corey Coleman builds a new wide receiver. He told his

1089
00:50:45,040 --> 00:50:47,080
Speaker 1: version of the story. Tell us your version how you

1090
00:50:47,080 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 1: met up with Corey Coleman and how you two became

1091
00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:52,840
Speaker 1: so close? Oh, man, I shot met Corey when he

1092
00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: was I think what eleven years old something like that,

1093
00:50:56,440 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: a long time ago. My son actually, my son played football,

1094
00:51:00,440 --> 00:51:04,719
Speaker 1: track basketball, and and uh Corey actually uh, I met

1095
00:51:04,800 --> 00:51:07,880
Speaker 1: Corey through a friend on the track team, and he

1096
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,440
Speaker 1: came and ran track for me. I coached track, football, basketball,

1097
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:15,960
Speaker 1: and actually that's about that's about it. After that, he

1098
00:51:16,080 --> 00:51:19,080
Speaker 1: basically became a second son, a third son. Actually I

1099
00:51:19,080 --> 00:51:21,960
Speaker 1: got two sons, so he became a third son. H

1100
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:24,520
Speaker 1: He stayed at my house a lot, and man, I

1101
00:51:24,600 --> 00:51:28,319
Speaker 1: just you know, his dad was not around, his mom

1102
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,480
Speaker 1: was working a lot, trying to take care of the family,

1103
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 1: as they do when you're single parenting of mom especially,

1104
00:51:34,080 --> 00:51:37,279
Speaker 1: so um, it was one of those things. Man I

1105
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:39,399
Speaker 1: saw a lot of a lot of myself in him.

1106
00:51:39,480 --> 00:51:41,800
Speaker 1: He grew up in the same neighborhood, the same projects

1107
00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,040
Speaker 1: I grew up in, you know, back in the day.

1108
00:51:44,080 --> 00:51:46,920
Speaker 1: And it was one of those things you know, you

1109
00:51:47,000 --> 00:51:49,239
Speaker 1: can you can always tell when you coach and train

1110
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 1: a lot of young kids and your mentor a lot

1111
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 1: of kids, you know, the ones that that are looking

1112
00:51:53,600 --> 00:51:56,840
Speaker 1: for help and looking form your mentorship and ones that

1113
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: really really want to want to do well with themselves

1114
00:51:59,280 --> 00:52:01,360
Speaker 1: and want to be something. And that was Corey. The

1115
00:52:01,440 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 1: core is a guy that always wanted to It didn't

1116
00:52:04,760 --> 00:52:07,800
Speaker 1: matter if he could couldn't, or or if he do it,

1117
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,000
Speaker 1: or if he thought he could couldn't, it didn't matter.

1118
00:52:10,040 --> 00:52:11,680
Speaker 1: He wanted to try to be the best and do

1119
00:52:11,719 --> 00:52:14,200
Speaker 1: the best and go against the best. So that's what

1120
00:52:14,239 --> 00:52:16,600
Speaker 1: I liked. I mean that was That was really what

1121
00:52:16,600 --> 00:52:19,160
Speaker 1: withdrew me to him, and I knew the kid wanted

1122
00:52:19,200 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 1: to be successful and so then that's kind of how

1123
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 1: it took off. Yeah, he got drafted by the Cleveland

1124
00:52:24,680 --> 00:52:26,840
Speaker 1: Browns and had a couple of hand injuries. I know,

1125
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,200
Speaker 1: you guys have continued to keep track of each other.

1126
00:52:29,560 --> 00:52:31,719
Speaker 1: Give us a little insight as to what he's been

1127
00:52:31,719 --> 00:52:33,640
Speaker 1: going through the last year and a half or two years.

1128
00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:36,000
Speaker 1: And they went through the incredibly rough season in Cleveland

1129
00:52:36,080 --> 00:52:38,960
Speaker 1: last year. Talk about where his mind was at and

1130
00:52:39,000 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: then how it has happened, how maybe that's changed since

1131
00:52:42,120 --> 00:52:45,440
Speaker 1: he'd become a Buffalo Bill. Yeah, it was difficult, man,

1132
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:48,319
Speaker 1: You got to think about it. Corey has always been

1133
00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:50,880
Speaker 1: one of those guys for whatever reason. Even when he

1134
00:52:50,920 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: went to Baylor. You know, he called me and wanted

1135
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:54,920
Speaker 1: to go to my college, my alma mater, and he

1136
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 1: went to bad and got red shirted. So it started

1137
00:52:57,239 --> 00:52:59,560
Speaker 1: off a little Rockies area as well. He called me

1138
00:52:59,600 --> 00:53:02,520
Speaker 1: back as a transfer you know. You know it is

1139
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:04,400
Speaker 1: when things get roughed, you don't know, you don't know

1140
00:53:04,440 --> 00:53:07,440
Speaker 1: what's going on, and sometimes you want to get yourself

1141
00:53:07,480 --> 00:53:10,359
Speaker 1: out of that situation instead of fighting through it. And

1142
00:53:10,840 --> 00:53:12,680
Speaker 1: he falls through that and ended up being a first

1143
00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: round and then Cleveland. You know, I knew Cleveland was

1144
00:53:16,160 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 1: going to be a difficult fit for him because of

1145
00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, because of where they were. I knew they

1146
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 1: weren't going to be good well first and foremost, and

1147
00:53:23,320 --> 00:53:25,960
Speaker 1: and Coreys is a guy who wants to win. He's

1148
00:53:25,960 --> 00:53:28,360
Speaker 1: a guy who wants to play, you know, with winners,

1149
00:53:28,360 --> 00:53:32,120
Speaker 1: a guy that that that's accustomed to winning. So I

1150
00:53:32,200 --> 00:53:34,480
Speaker 1: knew it was going to be difficult just in that alone.

1151
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,239
Speaker 1: But then once he broke his hand, then it really

1152
00:53:37,280 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 1: became tough because he hadn't be He's not an injury guy.

1153
00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 1: You know, when he was in college, he wasn't injured much,

1154
00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: and when he was in high school wasn't injured much.

1155
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,560
Speaker 1: And when played for me and literally he wasn't injured much.

1156
00:53:47,560 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: So the injury is you know how it is man,

1157
00:53:49,680 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 1: when you when you get to a point to where

1158
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:55,160
Speaker 1: you're used to having success and used to being very successful,

1159
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:57,600
Speaker 1: then you get injured. Sometimes you don't know how to

1160
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:58,800
Speaker 1: deal with it. You don't know how it's going to

1161
00:53:58,880 --> 00:54:02,480
Speaker 1: affect your mental minds and in effects of everybody, everybody differently.

1162
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: So he called me in and you know, he was

1163
00:54:04,600 --> 00:54:07,319
Speaker 1: really down about the injury. And uh then when he

1164
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: finally started playing his fut soundly felt like he got

1165
00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:12,360
Speaker 1: back in the groove. And off season, you know, we

1166
00:54:12,440 --> 00:54:14,680
Speaker 1: worked out and then he finally thought he was getting

1167
00:54:14,719 --> 00:54:17,440
Speaker 1: back and then he gets hurt again. So so it's

1168
00:54:17,480 --> 00:54:21,000
Speaker 1: a very difficult situation for him. So this year he

1169
00:54:21,040 --> 00:54:23,000
Speaker 1: thought he was going to have a chance to make amends.

1170
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:24,440
Speaker 1: You know, but you know how it is when the

1171
00:54:24,440 --> 00:54:26,920
Speaker 1: team gets down on you, regardless if they're if they

1172
00:54:26,960 --> 00:54:28,840
Speaker 1: kill you, they're down on you or not. You know,

1173
00:54:28,840 --> 00:54:30,640
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But when the team gets down on

1174
00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:33,120
Speaker 1: you and then they fign, they signed gods on you know,

1175
00:54:33,120 --> 00:54:36,319
Speaker 1: they signed him, which is basically Corey's position. Like I

1176
00:54:36,360 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: told Corey, I said, that slot position is really in

1177
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: the league, in my opinion, where I feel he should

1178
00:54:43,200 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 1: make his you know, his hey, you know, where he

1179
00:54:44,640 --> 00:54:47,400
Speaker 1: should be very really really good because he's super explosive,

1180
00:54:47,800 --> 00:54:51,040
Speaker 1: super quick latterly, so being in the slot would be

1181
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:53,640
Speaker 1: perfect for him. And then when they signed you know,

1182
00:54:53,880 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: the manjury, I knew the time was you know, the

1183
00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,640
Speaker 1: time wasn't there. I told him, myseln don't be surprised

1184
00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:00,879
Speaker 1: if they shop you. So I'd already kind of put

1185
00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:02,960
Speaker 1: that bug in his ear, And when it happened, he

1186
00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:06,160
Speaker 1: was disappointed, of course, because he felt he didn't really

1187
00:55:06,160 --> 00:55:09,440
Speaker 1: get an opportunity to kind of make amends for the

1188
00:55:09,480 --> 00:55:13,000
Speaker 1: two injury played years which he had no control over. Hey, Gray,

1189
00:55:13,080 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: what you know, the Brown choose the fifteenth overall pick

1190
00:55:16,200 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 1: on him. The Bills just traded for him. What are

1191
00:55:18,320 --> 00:55:21,360
Speaker 1: his attributes that make teams like Corey Coleman? Why? What

1192
00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:23,319
Speaker 1: are the best value he can bring you a team?

1193
00:55:23,320 --> 00:55:26,080
Speaker 1: Do you think? Once again, like I said, he's he's

1194
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,680
Speaker 1: super explosive. One thing you cannot teach in this league.

1195
00:55:29,960 --> 00:55:32,480
Speaker 1: The first thing your size, you know when you and

1196
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 1: that's what the league is going to a lot of bigger, taller,

1197
00:55:36,520 --> 00:55:39,760
Speaker 1: faster receivers like Cortland Southern, the guy we got in Denver.

1198
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 1: You can't teach that. And the other thing you can't

1199
00:55:42,239 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 1: teach just speeding explosions, you know. But but the one thing,

1200
00:55:45,880 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm a firm believer and take this any way you want,

1201
00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:52,520
Speaker 1: and I told Cory this as well. Work don't have

1202
00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 1: those size, save strength, the good looks, none of that work.

1203
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 1: Just want to get done, and it doesn't care who

1204
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:01,239
Speaker 1: does it, you know. And I told Corey, I said

1205
00:56:01,280 --> 00:56:03,640
Speaker 1: the thing for you, man, you gotta you gotta put

1206
00:56:03,680 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 1: all that aside. You gotta put the fifteen pick away

1207
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,920
Speaker 1: because that that doesn't matter anymore. You gotta put you know,

1208
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,240
Speaker 1: four three forty you gotta put that in the trash.

1209
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 1: That doesn't matter anymore. You gotta put two broken hands

1210
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 1: away that doesn't matter anymore, and go to work because

1211
00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:20,200
Speaker 1: that's that's right now, that's all that you need. You

1212
00:56:20,239 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: need to get back to basics. Same thing I told

1213
00:56:23,120 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 1: you to do do it, Baylor when you got red shirt,

1214
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:27,799
Speaker 1: I worried about who's playing and who's not playing and

1215
00:56:27,880 --> 00:56:31,080
Speaker 1: all that, And get your but to work and get ready. Now.

1216
00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: The one thing he does do is when he makes

1217
00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:37,279
Speaker 1: his mind up and he really puts tunnel vision and

1218
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,480
Speaker 1: puts his head down to the grind and don't look up,

1219
00:56:40,719 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 1: and don't look left or don't look right. He's very

1220
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,719
Speaker 1: very productive, and he has something that, like I said,

1221
00:56:46,760 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 1: that you can't give to anyone, or you can't you know,

1222
00:56:50,280 --> 00:56:53,560
Speaker 1: you can't find a way to give four three forty

1223
00:56:53,760 --> 00:56:57,560
Speaker 1: and and four one old lateral movement is a gift

1224
00:56:58,280 --> 00:57:00,400
Speaker 1: but that's what he has to offer for flow and

1225
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:03,960
Speaker 1: if you use correctly, you know, I'm a firm believer

1226
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:07,080
Speaker 1: in just as I told my show last year with

1227
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:11,400
Speaker 1: McCoy who was in Denver offensive coordinator. Your job as

1228
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:13,799
Speaker 1: a coordinator, your job is to look at what you

1229
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:18,360
Speaker 1: have and make sure you divided the scheme in a

1230
00:57:18,400 --> 00:57:22,040
Speaker 1: formation set for those guys to be successful and gives

1231
00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:25,800
Speaker 1: them the opportunity to either win or lose, you know,

1232
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,840
Speaker 1: to either flash or fail. That's what their job is.

1233
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:32,720
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of what Cleveland didn't do

1234
00:57:32,760 --> 00:57:34,800
Speaker 1: that last year. I think Cleveland kind of got down

1235
00:57:34,840 --> 00:57:36,400
Speaker 1: on him and they just stuck him out there and

1236
00:57:36,400 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: just told him to go run route, and that's not

1237
00:57:38,480 --> 00:57:40,920
Speaker 1: what you do. We're talking to Ray Crockett, fourteen year

1238
00:57:41,040 --> 00:57:43,440
Speaker 1: veteran in the National Football League out in Denver, covers

1239
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,360
Speaker 1: the Broncos in their broadcast, also talking about his kid

1240
00:57:46,440 --> 00:57:48,400
Speaker 1: that he mentored in Corey Coleman, who has just come

1241
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,240
Speaker 1: to the Buffalo Bills. Ray, Let's talk a little bit

1242
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:53,880
Speaker 1: about your team, Denver Broncos out there. Yeah, case keenam.

1243
00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:57,880
Speaker 1: You guys play Saturday against the Minnesota Vikings, the team

1244
00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 1: he took on a great run last year. How does

1245
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: Case Keenum looked? Who's got another quarterback on your roster?

1246
00:58:03,200 --> 00:58:06,760
Speaker 1: The Buffalo fans, knowing very well Chad Kelly, a guy

1247
00:58:06,760 --> 00:58:08,560
Speaker 1: who's on their roster, talk a little bit about the

1248
00:58:08,800 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: Denver Broncos their preseason they brought Case Keenum in and

1249
00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:13,960
Speaker 1: as a team that for all of us at back

1250
00:58:13,960 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo, we feel like the Broncos felt like

1251
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,880
Speaker 1: they've got a super Bowl team maybe if they can

1252
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: just find the right guy to pull the trigger. Yeah, man,

1253
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 1: And you're exactly right on that, and so far, so

1254
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 1: good with Case Keenum. I mean, I know Case keenom

1255
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,360
Speaker 1: from Houston and his day's playing in Houston because you know,

1256
00:58:32,000 --> 00:58:35,040
Speaker 1: I live in Dallas and my son was at SMU

1257
00:58:35,560 --> 00:58:38,080
Speaker 1: during the time he was at Houston, so I've been

1258
00:58:38,160 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 1: knowing him. He's a great quarterback man. He's one of

1259
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:44,000
Speaker 1: those guys and I'm very surprised didn't get drafted to

1260
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:46,680
Speaker 1: begin with. I mean, if you go look at the NCAA,

1261
00:58:46,960 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 1: Case Keenum name is all over it as far as

1262
00:58:49,320 --> 00:58:51,960
Speaker 1: records and things of that nature. So now he has

1263
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:55,840
Speaker 1: a team. Man, he has a chant that someone gave

1264
00:58:55,960 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 1: him the keys, like they did in Houston, where he

1265
00:58:58,120 --> 00:59:01,280
Speaker 1: was the most successful. He's very cessor in Minnesota, but

1266
00:59:01,320 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 1: they still never gave him the keys to the car

1267
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:06,800
Speaker 1: he was renting a car. This time he has the

1268
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,280
Speaker 1: keys again, and he looks like it. Man. He walks

1269
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:14,080
Speaker 1: out to practice and he's all over the huddle. He's

1270
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:16,240
Speaker 1: a leader on the field, he's a leader off the

1271
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,760
Speaker 1: field the way he talks to the guys. And so far,

1272
00:59:19,880 --> 00:59:21,600
Speaker 1: so good man. We couldn't be you know, and we

1273
00:59:21,640 --> 00:59:25,360
Speaker 1: couldn't be happier. And I'll be honest, I have nothing

1274
00:59:25,400 --> 00:59:27,640
Speaker 1: against Kirk Cousins, but I'm glad we didn't pay that

1275
00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:30,800
Speaker 1: extra ten fifteen million or whatever it was a year

1276
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,840
Speaker 1: to get it, I said, because to me, they're similar quarterbacks.

1277
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 1: I mean, if I look, if you go back and

1278
00:59:35,880 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: you really really break their film down as I do

1279
00:59:38,600 --> 00:59:41,880
Speaker 1: as a cornerback when I'm studying quarterbacks, there's so many

1280
00:59:41,880 --> 00:59:46,000
Speaker 1: similarities in those two guys. So I'm happy we got Case,

1281
00:59:46,080 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 1: a guy who has a lot to prove and has

1282
00:59:48,680 --> 00:59:51,120
Speaker 1: a chip on the shoulder. And right now, man, you

1283
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:54,160
Speaker 1: can see the eagerness in him and the happiness in

1284
00:59:54,280 --> 00:59:59,320
Speaker 1: him about somebody saying Case from day one you're my starter.

1285
00:59:59,680 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 1: This is your team, and he's acting like it. And man,

1286
01:00:02,640 --> 01:00:05,680
Speaker 1: he took off with camp. He went five days and

1287
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,880
Speaker 1: all honesty, and we have a pretty good defense. You know,

1288
01:00:07,880 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: I may say something myself as far as a secondary.

1289
01:00:11,200 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 1: He went five days without throwing a pick. You know,

1290
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 1: his first pick was a pick six. You didn't want that, look,

1291
01:00:17,280 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: you didn't want that. But he went five days without

1292
01:00:19,760 --> 01:00:21,800
Speaker 1: throwing a pick. So he was very you know, delivered

1293
01:00:21,840 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 1: with the ball. And every man I've had damned danger

1294
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:28,480
Speaker 1: every guy on my defense, on Denver's defense, on my show,

1295
01:00:28,840 --> 01:00:31,000
Speaker 1: and every last one, I'm to say, Man, this guy

1296
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: is decisive with the ball. He knows how to get

1297
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 1: the ball out, he knows where to go with the ball,

1298
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:38,680
Speaker 1: and and the biggest compliment can be paid to it

1299
01:00:38,800 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 1: to the guy is from Joe Woods, the defensive coordinator.

1300
01:00:42,360 --> 01:00:44,680
Speaker 1: Joe Woods told me on my show that every time

1301
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,440
Speaker 1: I call a defense, he throws to the weakness of

1302
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 1: the defense. And that's enough said, because that's all you want.

1303
01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:53,440
Speaker 1: You know, if you can get a quarterback to do that,

1304
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,800
Speaker 1: then you should be pretty successful down the road on

1305
01:00:56,840 --> 01:00:59,480
Speaker 1: the line with Ray Crockhead on the Subway, Fresh Jake Hotline. Ray,

1306
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,080
Speaker 1: fourteen year NFL veteran who covers the Denver Broncos, does

1307
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 1: a radio show out there in Denver. Is the formula

1308
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:08,240
Speaker 1: the same for Denver? This year? Raiser was in the

1309
01:01:08,360 --> 01:01:11,960
Speaker 1: Super Bowl year, you know, great defense and adequate offense,

1310
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 1: because case Keenum might be capable of being at least adequate,

1311
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: sounds like even better than adequate according to your description.

1312
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:21,080
Speaker 1: But they really are reliant primarily on their defense, aren't they?

1313
01:01:21,800 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: You know, no, man, I mean it's different. And then

1314
01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:27,400
Speaker 1: no knock, Don't get me wrong, because I know how

1315
01:01:27,600 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 1: this sounds because we had the guy, you know, we

1316
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:33,439
Speaker 1: had that man at quarterback back then doing Super Bowl

1317
01:01:33,480 --> 01:01:37,160
Speaker 1: fift yet paid manny, And to even mention adequate with

1318
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: a paid man his offense is almost a sap in

1319
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:41,680
Speaker 1: his face. But it was the reality as to where

1320
01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:44,440
Speaker 1: he was with his skill set at that point. But

1321
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: case is different, man. Right now we're not We're not

1322
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:50,920
Speaker 1: depending on the defense in that manner. Now we're depending

1323
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,919
Speaker 1: on them to go hand in hand. Don't get me wrong,

1324
01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 1: you always want that. I mean, you can't win a

1325
01:01:55,320 --> 01:01:58,480
Speaker 1: championship without a good defense. But in this case, we're

1326
01:01:58,520 --> 01:02:01,000
Speaker 1: expecting to put twenty eight points on the board. I mean,

1327
01:02:01,080 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 1: and that sounds you know from where differ was the

1328
01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 1: last two years, that may sound far fast, but no,

1329
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:09,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking at what cases doing with who we picked

1330
01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:12,120
Speaker 1: up as far as Corland, Sutland and other receivers we

1331
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:14,800
Speaker 1: picked up with Bud being at you know that big

1332
01:02:14,840 --> 01:02:17,360
Speaker 1: target over the middle from hash to hash. You know

1333
01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:20,240
Speaker 1: already if you're the rules of chains, that in favor

1334
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:22,960
Speaker 1: of the tight end in the hashes. So with that,

1335
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,200
Speaker 1: and then we got a little kid down there, man

1336
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,000
Speaker 1: Philip Lindsay, who has a skill set for third down matchups,

1337
01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:33,240
Speaker 1: which he will be a mismatch nightmare for lineback because

1338
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,760
Speaker 1: he will remind you of some of the New England

1339
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,120
Speaker 1: pages running backs. You know when it's third, two thirds

1340
01:02:38,120 --> 01:02:40,600
Speaker 1: and three, if you're the thing, okay going to the receiver,

1341
01:02:40,680 --> 01:02:42,880
Speaker 1: well not in New England they go to the running back.

1342
01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:45,480
Speaker 1: Well we have that capability as well. So when you

1343
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:48,920
Speaker 1: have the ability to really make a defense, declare what

1344
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:51,360
Speaker 1: they're going to do to you, buy your formations and

1345
01:02:51,440 --> 01:02:54,919
Speaker 1: buy your matchup. Man, you got an opportunity to score point.

1346
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:57,680
Speaker 1: So no, I mean, I know it scenes that way,

1347
01:02:57,800 --> 01:03:00,480
Speaker 1: but no, we we are not looking for Case to

1348
01:03:00,560 --> 01:03:03,479
Speaker 1: be poort On Quarte a game manager. Now we're looking

1349
01:03:03,520 --> 01:03:06,080
Speaker 1: for him to manage a game. All quarterbacks should manage

1350
01:03:06,080 --> 01:03:08,360
Speaker 1: the game, but we're also looking for him to score

1351
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 1: port Yeah, I mean that's that's on our you know,

1352
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:13,240
Speaker 1: on our repertoire on a day to day basis, from

1353
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:15,400
Speaker 1: when I talked to Coup, when I talked to Musgrave,

1354
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,080
Speaker 1: the new coordinator, and you got to give Musgrave a

1355
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:20,400
Speaker 1: lot of credits so far. Now, you know, I know

1356
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:23,600
Speaker 1: it's only training camp in preseason that he is about

1357
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,040
Speaker 1: to start. But me being a defensive player and being

1358
01:03:27,080 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 1: a defensive casting other Super Bowl teams and had to

1359
01:03:29,600 --> 01:03:32,280
Speaker 1: make a lot of calls. He's making it difficult for

1360
01:03:32,320 --> 01:03:35,320
Speaker 1: our defense right now. He's putting a tight end outside,

1361
01:03:35,360 --> 01:03:37,240
Speaker 1: he's putting the running back to the inside. He's doing

1362
01:03:37,240 --> 01:03:39,240
Speaker 1: a lot of motion, a lot of formation and stuff

1363
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 1: trips for where I tight end split left. I mean,

1364
01:03:42,240 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 1: he's doing a lot of stuff that will make a

1365
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:48,880
Speaker 1: defense declare and determine to you what they're trying to do.

1366
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:50,840
Speaker 1: And if you can get that done, then you can

1367
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 1: score some points. Every She mentioned ched Kelly a couple

1368
01:03:54,840 --> 01:03:57,040
Speaker 1: of minutes ago, a couple of weeks into camp, is

1369
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 1: Kelly making any kind of move or any kind of

1370
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,440
Speaker 1: threat of a move up the depth chart their quarterback

1371
01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 1: for the broncos Man. You know, I like the kid.

1372
01:04:03,920 --> 01:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be honest. I like the kid every time

1373
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: he stepped out there, ain't you know? I know his

1374
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: uncle very very well gym, So I'm not I'm not,

1375
01:04:11,240 --> 01:04:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, being you know, I don't have him a

1376
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,880
Speaker 1: gym color the eyes on. I like the kid for

1377
01:04:15,960 --> 01:04:19,320
Speaker 1: one thing. He knows how to make plays. Now. Doesn't

1378
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:24,000
Speaker 1: look right all the time. No, sometimes sometimes you look

1379
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:26,200
Speaker 1: out there, you say, what the hell is he doing?

1380
01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 1: And all of a sudden he makes the play. But

1381
01:04:28,200 --> 01:04:30,280
Speaker 1: one thing I will say about the kid, he got

1382
01:04:30,320 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 1: done flinger in him, you know, Yeah, I mean he

1383
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: probably got there from his uncle. He got some gunslinger

1384
01:04:35,440 --> 01:04:37,760
Speaker 1: in him. But the one thing he has to do,

1385
01:04:37,880 --> 01:04:40,640
Speaker 1: he has to settle down, and he has to really

1386
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:45,680
Speaker 1: get control of an NFL offense, control of an NFL huddle,

1387
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 1: and really understand that everything doesn't have to be dramatic,

1388
01:04:51,200 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 1: you know. And so so far he has a dramatic

1389
01:04:53,920 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 1: flair for making plays, and it's gonna be difficult for

1390
01:04:56,960 --> 01:04:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna be honest when she got Man's not

1391
01:04:59,240 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: a first round there in front of you got a

1392
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: phrase round and that John don't want to give up

1393
01:05:02,920 --> 01:05:06,840
Speaker 1: all for whatever reason. And Paxton Lynch and it's gonna

1394
01:05:06,840 --> 01:05:09,320
Speaker 1: be a difficult role for him to just jump over

1395
01:05:09,400 --> 01:05:12,080
Speaker 1: Packton Lynch and be that second quarterback. Well, one thing

1396
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:13,800
Speaker 1: I will tell you is this, on a day to

1397
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,760
Speaker 1: day basis, on a play to play basis, he's making

1398
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 1: just as many plays as as as paston is and

1399
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:23,360
Speaker 1: at sometimes he's making just as many mistakes. So they're

1400
01:05:23,360 --> 01:05:26,200
Speaker 1: battling right now. They're battling right now for that second spot.

1401
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:28,840
Speaker 1: But he definitely does look like he has a place

1402
01:05:28,880 --> 01:05:31,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Talk a little bit about the division,

1403
01:05:31,680 --> 01:05:33,880
Speaker 1: and you're in the schedule that the Broncos are facing.

1404
01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,600
Speaker 1: I mean, this is a team and let's face it,

1405
01:05:36,680 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 1: they really do have designs on going someplace. I mean,

1406
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,760
Speaker 1: this is a tough division. They're in the Chargers who

1407
01:05:43,840 --> 01:05:45,760
Speaker 1: came on so strong last year and they're kind of

1408
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:49,600
Speaker 1: the kind of dark horse team a lot of people

1409
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:51,080
Speaker 1: have or maybe being one of those teams that we're

1410
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:52,440
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs a year ago that are going

1411
01:05:52,520 --> 01:05:57,000
Speaker 1: to jump back into him this year, we talk a

1412
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,919
Speaker 1: little bit about that and what the Bronchos are doing

1413
01:05:59,160 --> 01:06:02,760
Speaker 1: looking to do earlier year in their in their schedule. Well,

1414
01:06:02,800 --> 01:06:06,200
Speaker 1: the thing about that, man, it is this in the past.

1415
01:06:07,320 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 1: You know, Kansas City had a hold on the on

1416
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,920
Speaker 1: the front on the AFC because of who they were,

1417
01:06:13,040 --> 01:06:15,320
Speaker 1: what they had, the coach they had, quarterback they had,

1418
01:06:15,320 --> 01:06:17,480
Speaker 1: and all that. But if you look at the AFC

1419
01:06:17,680 --> 01:06:22,920
Speaker 1: West today, everyone had a question mark that can either

1420
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:26,640
Speaker 1: calipuld you to the top of the AFC or to

1421
01:06:26,800 --> 01:06:29,480
Speaker 1: calipulate you to the bottom of the AFC. If you

1422
01:06:29,520 --> 01:06:31,960
Speaker 1: look at Kansas City, you look at Mahrnis. We don't

1423
01:06:31,960 --> 01:06:33,680
Speaker 1: know what he's gonna be. He don't know what he's

1424
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:35,760
Speaker 1: gonna be. They don't know what he's gonna be. If

1425
01:06:35,760 --> 01:06:38,520
Speaker 1: he's really really good, they could be really really good.

1426
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:40,520
Speaker 1: But they got question marks on defense. You know, they

1427
01:06:40,560 --> 01:06:42,800
Speaker 1: lost some of the big guns on defense from Johnson

1428
01:06:42,800 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 1: and some of these guys and safety that was hurt.

1429
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 1: They've lost some guys on defense. Then you go to

1430
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:52,560
Speaker 1: the Racers. The Raiders, Derek Carr two years ago looked

1431
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: like he was an up and coming. He was a

1432
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:58,880
Speaker 1: new thing. Last year, very average so Gruten, you bring

1433
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 1: Gruden that can rutens. You know, coming from nineteen ninety eight,

1434
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: we don't know if he can bring nineteen ninety eight

1435
01:07:04,440 --> 01:07:07,760
Speaker 1: to two and eighteen. You know, that's the question mark there.

1436
01:07:07,800 --> 01:07:11,400
Speaker 1: And then Carr, he's a quarterbacks guy. Can he make

1437
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,120
Speaker 1: car that guy that Carr was two years ago and

1438
01:07:14,200 --> 01:07:16,880
Speaker 1: even better? If he does that and they get Khalil

1439
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:21,040
Speaker 1: Max into camp, then you know the Raiders could be

1440
01:07:21,120 --> 01:07:24,400
Speaker 1: very formidable. But once again there's question mark there. You

1441
01:07:24,480 --> 01:07:27,160
Speaker 1: go to the Charger. The Chargers, like you said, I

1442
01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 1: even picked the Charges to win the AFC West. They

1443
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:31,720
Speaker 1: got a good friend of mine and Anthony land Coasting.

1444
01:07:32,040 --> 01:07:34,760
Speaker 1: I knew him from high school, college in the pros.

1445
01:07:34,800 --> 01:07:38,400
Speaker 1: But they've had injuries already. I mean, for whatever reason,

1446
01:07:38,440 --> 01:07:40,720
Speaker 1: their snakes didn't with their injuries already, you know, from

1447
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,360
Speaker 1: Hunter to the cornerback to the lineman. I mean, they

1448
01:07:43,440 --> 01:07:45,880
Speaker 1: got so many guys that's getting hurt right now that

1449
01:07:46,080 --> 01:07:48,480
Speaker 1: you just stay gang, what are they going to be

1450
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: or who are they gonna be? So that's another question

1451
01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:53,440
Speaker 1: mark for those guys. And then ask the line being

1452
01:07:53,480 --> 01:07:56,800
Speaker 1: attacking your guy. Everything looked really good. They're settled, they're

1453
01:07:56,840 --> 01:07:58,960
Speaker 1: moved into La. I think last year, a lot of

1454
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,280
Speaker 1: last year, the first four games had to do with

1455
01:08:01,760 --> 01:08:05,080
Speaker 1: moving to La, everybody trying to get settled in, people

1456
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,120
Speaker 1: living out of hotels. I mean, you know that is

1457
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:09,840
Speaker 1: tasking you. You don't want your home to you know,

1458
01:08:09,880 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 1: if you can't come home and look at mama and

1459
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 1: mama saying I don't really want to be here. You know,

1460
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,080
Speaker 1: that's a simplicul thing to take that to work on

1461
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:21,120
Speaker 1: a day to day base, no, not at all. I

1462
01:08:21,160 --> 01:08:23,680
Speaker 1: think they're all settled with that going on, so they

1463
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,599
Speaker 1: to me was the forefront. Now for us, of course,

1464
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,080
Speaker 1: we got case Kingdom. We got to find out this

1465
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 1: case is gonna be that case that's new and improved

1466
01:08:33,040 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: from Minnesota, or his case is gonna be those that guys,

1467
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:38,479
Speaker 1: you know, the journeyman that was back there. So far,

1468
01:08:38,600 --> 01:08:42,040
Speaker 1: so good, so far, he's proven that. To me, he

1469
01:08:42,080 --> 01:08:46,200
Speaker 1: hasn't even an opportunity to be better than he was

1470
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:49,040
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. And yes, I said that here at first.

1471
01:08:49,120 --> 01:08:52,400
Speaker 1: I think he will be better similar because I think

1472
01:08:52,439 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: he understands what's going on. And even in Minnesota, even

1473
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,800
Speaker 1: though they did do some things to help him, you know,

1474
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:02,639
Speaker 1: but they had two course started, you know, starting quarterbacks

1475
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: before him that by the time he got this, you

1476
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,559
Speaker 1: know the rains, he was really running Bridgewater's offense and

1477
01:09:08,600 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: those other guys offense, Well, he's been running Case Kennon's

1478
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:16,639
Speaker 1: offense here from day one. Everything Musgrave has done has

1479
01:09:16,680 --> 01:09:19,679
Speaker 1: went back to Houston and went back to Minnesota and

1480
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:22,639
Speaker 1: picked everything in Case was really good at and that's

1481
01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:25,280
Speaker 1: what we're doing and then we're improved on that. So

1482
01:09:25,400 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 1: to me, I feel Denver this is a ripe opportunity

1483
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 1: for Denver to get right back in the top of

1484
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,479
Speaker 1: the AFC West and definitely compete. But like I said,

1485
01:09:35,680 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 1: the FC West is going to be very tough. Those

1486
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:41,719
Speaker 1: first six games is really gonna tell a big time

1487
01:09:41,880 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 1: story as for who's gonna do what in the AFC West.

1488
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,320
Speaker 1: But as far as being if I would have bet

1489
01:09:50,479 --> 01:09:52,559
Speaker 1: my money on it, I'm not a bad man, you know,

1490
01:09:52,680 --> 01:09:56,800
Speaker 1: not right now on TV oh Man Radio, but I

1491
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,160
Speaker 1: would say the charges in the Broncos that last as

1492
01:10:00,200 --> 01:10:03,040
Speaker 1: the game of the year could come down to who

1493
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:05,960
Speaker 1: wins this division. Wow, it's gonna be fun. Hey, Ray,

1494
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:08,080
Speaker 1: thanks for your insight on Corey Coleman and your insight

1495
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,439
Speaker 1: on the Broncos. We appreciate it. Apreciated man. Thank you guys.

1496
01:10:11,560 --> 01:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Ray Crockett fourteen year NFL veteran defensive back now doing

1497
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 1: radio work for the Denver Broncos, and Corey Coleman builds rechiever,

1498
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,400
Speaker 1: calls him as godfather. That's how close they are. Good

1499
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:23,959
Speaker 1: insight from Ray Crockett on that preseason is great. Everybody's

1500
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:27,120
Speaker 1: so optimistic, you know what I mean, we are. Everybody's

1501
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:30,720
Speaker 1: going on. Everybody's thinking best case scenario, right, Oh yeah,

1502
01:10:30,840 --> 01:10:34,840
Speaker 1: yeah that everybody's got questions. Everybody's got problems they're working through,

1503
01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,320
Speaker 1: things they're trying to fix, or players they don't quite

1504
01:10:37,400 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 1: know about, players they have good feelings about, and players

1505
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:42,920
Speaker 1: that really are question marks. But in the preseason, all

1506
01:10:42,960 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: the questions are answered, yes, and all the question marks,

Speaker 1: votes in so far. Thirty six percent of you say

1549
01:13:04,200 --> 01:13:08,280
Speaker 1: the best thing would be the realization that, Hey, Josh Allen,

1550
01:13:08,360 --> 01:13:11,080
Speaker 1: maybe he's a starter, Maybe he's the guy. For September ninth,

1551
01:13:11,479 --> 01:13:14,120
Speaker 1: thirty two percent of you say the best thing would be, Hey,

1552
01:13:14,560 --> 01:13:17,840
Speaker 1: the offensive line, even without incognito or Eric would could

1553
01:13:17,880 --> 01:13:20,479
Speaker 1: be Okay, twenty eight percent of you pretty close say

1554
01:13:20,479 --> 01:13:22,400

1555
01:13:22,439 --> 01:13:26,040
Speaker 1: be Hey, tremay and Edmonds is really a stud you

1558
01:13:32,120 --> 01:13:35,360
Speaker 1: three five fifty toll free one eight eight fifty two.

1559
01:13:35,920 --> 01:13:38,320
Speaker 1: I'm trying to mimic the voice of the people. I'm

1560
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:41,080
Speaker 1: trying to envision what people are thinking. They are the

1561
01:13:41,200 --> 01:13:44,360
Speaker 1: voice of the people. It'd be great if if if

1562
01:13:44,560 --> 01:13:47,439
Speaker 1: there was a consensus. It's not likely, but it'd be

1563
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:49,599
Speaker 1: great if you come out of this game and everybody's like, Wow,

1564
01:13:50,080 --> 01:13:52,400
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, he's got it. He's the guy we've been

1565
01:13:52,439 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: looking for. Right. That would be almost a dream scenario,

1566
01:13:55,520 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: best thing. Yeah, almost a dream scenario. Yeah almost, yeah, yeah, Hey, hey, Hey,

1567
01:14:03,439 --> 01:14:05,439
Speaker 1: and I get it. A lot of you know, I

1568
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:09,040
Speaker 1: you want to my my expectations are, you know, ultra

1569
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,240
Speaker 1: low for this game. I mean, I'm excited about it,

1570
01:14:11,280 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: and I'd love to see all the stuff we dream about.

1571
01:14:13,720 --> 01:14:15,800
Speaker 1: But man, oh man, I've seen too many of these too.

1572
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:19,760
Speaker 1: To jump up and down, I'm doing jumping Jacks because

1573
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: it's been a long time since we've seen it. But uh,

1574
01:14:24,200 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 1: we're everybody's chiming in on this. From Josh McKinney on Twitter,

1575
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:29,320
Speaker 1: Alan needs more time And we all know Edmund. We

1576
01:14:29,360 --> 01:14:30,960
Speaker 1: all know Edmonds as a beast, and that's kind of

1577
01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: been a consistus too. I'd vote for mccaren versus Peterman

1578
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,600
Speaker 1: to starting q QB and who can add depth to

1579
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:39,400
Speaker 1: wide receiver? What does that mean, I'd vote for mccaren

1580
01:14:39,520 --> 01:14:41,280
Speaker 1: versus Peterman that you wouldn't want one of those two.

1581
01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,240
Speaker 1: That's what he wants to see. He wants to see that.

1582
01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:47,120
Speaker 1: I mean, that's that's who can add depth to wide receiver.

1583
01:14:47,400 --> 01:14:50,559
Speaker 1: Is is important and some of those answers might come tonight.

1584
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:52,920
Speaker 1: You agree, Yeah, I mean you see a guy tonight.

1585
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000
Speaker 1: Let me grab my let me grab my brand new

1586
01:14:55,600 --> 01:15:01,120
Speaker 1: let's see your to the to the look. Robert Foster

1587
01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 1: had a chance tonight to show you Bill's fan what

1588
01:15:03,960 --> 01:15:06,120
Speaker 1: many of us at camp have seen. He's been one

1589
01:15:06,120 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 1: of the better receivers at camp so far. Robert Foster,

1590
01:15:08,880 --> 01:15:11,960
Speaker 1: un drafting rookie free agent from Alabama, big performance tonight.

1591
01:15:12,720 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: He you know, he would have something to say about

1592
01:15:14,640 --> 01:15:17,320
Speaker 1: that Brandon Riley can kind of pick up where he

1593
01:15:17,439 --> 01:15:20,599
Speaker 1: left off last summer in training camp. Rod Streeter can

1594
01:15:20,640 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 1: do the same. He only played two preseason games last summer.

1595
01:15:23,760 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: He's a guy who might have something to say about that. Yeah,

1596
01:15:28,320 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 1: all these and you know the thing about it, it

1597
01:15:29,880 --> 01:15:32,040
Speaker 1: surprises me that you get a guy like Robert Foster,

1598
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: who's been in I've seen him take a lot of reps. Yeah,

1599
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:40,360
Speaker 1: for whatever reason, he's on the field taking reps and

1600
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,920
Speaker 1: he's getting the ball thrown at him a ton. And

1601
01:15:43,040 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 1: I don't know why that is, because there's there's thirteen

1602
01:15:45,479 --> 01:15:47,479
Speaker 1: guys on the roster, and it seems like all I

1603
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,200
Speaker 1: see is Robert Foster taking and Klin Clay I see

1604
01:15:50,240 --> 01:15:53,000
Speaker 1: a lot of and of course Benjamin's out there. You

1605
01:15:53,040 --> 01:15:56,600
Speaker 1: see him. He's nine feet tall, so you see that

1606
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,479
Speaker 1: a lot. But it's it's interesting because you know, these

1607
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:02,679
Speaker 1: guys are all out there, I mean, the all thirteen

1608
01:16:02,760 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 1: guys are taking reps and they're all you know, you know,

1609
01:16:05,000 --> 01:16:08,880
Speaker 1: and it's all about, you know, getting more reps, getting

1610
01:16:08,880 --> 01:16:11,800
Speaker 1: more reps. But goodness gracious, you see these guys out there,

1611
01:16:11,880 --> 01:16:15,719
Speaker 1: and for whatever reason, you just notice guys and Foster's

1612
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,439
Speaker 1: a guy that's out there constantly and it's not like

1613
01:16:18,560 --> 01:16:20,519
Speaker 1: he's making huge plays or whatever, but he does get

1614
01:16:20,520 --> 01:16:24,639
Speaker 1: the ball thrown at him a lot. And Jeremy Curley,

1615
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,720
Speaker 1: I haven't seen that much. Cam Phillips, I see once

1616
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: in a while. He's made a couple of actually big plays.

1617
01:16:29,320 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: But Robert Foster, Kaylin Clay, Rod Streeter, these guys, Brandon Riley,

1618
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:35,880
Speaker 1: Andre Holmes, and of course Za Jones has been an

1619
01:16:36,120 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 1: you know, non participant up until this last couple of

1620
01:16:38,439 --> 01:16:41,200
Speaker 1: days when he's actually got a got a jersey on,

1621
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:45,160
Speaker 1: but not likely to plead tonight. I'm I think, you know,

1622
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:47,280
Speaker 1: you look at guys like last year when Brandon Roddy

1623
01:16:47,320 --> 01:16:49,560
Speaker 1: burst onto the consciousness of Bills fans, they think, you know,

1624
01:16:49,600 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 1: they thought he was gonna make the team. He didn't.

1625
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:53,840
Speaker 1: Robert Foster could be that guy this year where he

1626
01:16:53,920 --> 01:16:56,840
Speaker 1: comes out and surprises a lot of people. But the

1627
01:16:56,960 --> 01:16:59,599
Speaker 1: wide receiver battle is a huge one for me because

1628
01:16:59,640 --> 01:17:02,240
Speaker 1: there's so many question marks at that spot. You know,

1629
01:17:02,400 --> 01:17:05,559
Speaker 1: Jeremy Curly is a is the only other proven guy

1630
01:17:05,680 --> 01:17:09,400
Speaker 1: that is out there aside from Benjamin and there's a

1631
01:17:09,439 --> 01:17:10,880
Speaker 1: lot of room for a lot of other guys. To

1632
01:17:10,920 --> 01:17:13,160
Speaker 1: be looked at. From the tweet sheet our question best

1633
01:17:13,200 --> 01:17:15,400
Speaker 1: saying the Bills can get out of tonight's preseason game,

1634
01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 1: Danielle says, we need to see a solid showing from

1635
01:17:18,240 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: the offensive line. AJ has taken a lot of sax

1636
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,600
Speaker 1: and training camp so far. Is our defense just that

1637
01:17:23,760 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: good offensive line that bad or something in between? I

1638
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:30,360
Speaker 1: think it's something in between. Yeah, there's some of that. Yeah,

1639
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:33,400
Speaker 1: defense is good. And let me say this, the sacks

1640
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:37,160
Speaker 1: on McCarron and the other quarterbacks the first four days

1641
01:17:37,160 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 1: of camp, I would have agreed with you. Last week

1642
01:17:39,320 --> 01:17:41,120
Speaker 1: or so, I don't see it as much. I think

1643
01:17:41,360 --> 01:17:43,160
Speaker 1: I think the offense has come around in the last week.

1644
01:17:43,200 --> 01:17:45,519
Speaker 1: Steve that training camp now, yeah, it's been more start tonight.

1645
01:17:45,560 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 1: With a team to go against, you always expect them

1646
01:17:47,560 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: to give up a sack or two here and there.

1647
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,760
Speaker 1: But yeah, early on there's no question they were. They

1648
01:17:51,800 --> 01:17:54,200
Speaker 1: were giving up some sacks. But this last week or

1649
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,840
Speaker 1: like you say, it's been normal. Once in a while

1650
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 1: they'll seem like they'll guy, I'll get in. But the

1651
01:17:59,640 --> 01:18:02,000
Speaker 1: quarterbacks haven't had to like wait for a defender to

1652
01:18:02,160 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: walk by him after sack him to deliver the football.

1653
01:18:05,000 --> 01:18:06,720
Speaker 1: You know, like they always do. They don't sack the

1654
01:18:06,840 --> 01:18:10,880
Speaker 1: quarterbacks in training camp. Uh so so they can get

1655
01:18:10,920 --> 01:18:12,680
Speaker 1: the ball off. I haven't seen too much of that

1656
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:14,760
Speaker 1: in the last week, but early on. Yeah, no question

1657
01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,599
Speaker 1: about it. And the defense is better by all accounts.

1658
01:18:17,600 --> 01:18:20,479
Speaker 1: You'd better than the gonna better in the offense. Um,

1659
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,519
Speaker 1: what's the best thing the Bills can take from tonight's

1660
01:18:22,560 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: preseason game. We're asking you to let us know. Mark

1661
01:18:25,240 --> 01:18:27,360
Speaker 1: on the line, Mark on the phone line from Buffalo,

1662
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:31,920
Speaker 1: Marco ahead, welcome, Hey guys, take my car. Sure, sure,

1663
01:18:32,520 --> 01:18:37,360
Speaker 1: it's this time slipping. I say the most important thing

1664
01:18:37,439 --> 01:18:40,679
Speaker 1: to come out of this game is still injuries, because

1665
01:18:40,760 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: that is a key to a successful season. Yeah, and

1666
01:18:45,200 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 1: also have a question for you, if I may, You may,

1667
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: hoses are sit all the time that they doesn't matter

1668
01:18:54,040 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 1: who who was a gim what the score is. And

1669
01:18:57,479 --> 01:19:01,360
Speaker 1: if that's really the case, then hark Sean McDermot or

1670
01:19:01,400 --> 01:19:06,439
Speaker 1: other colts. Don't put in the third teams drugs and

1671
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:09,760
Speaker 1: gays the first teamers on the other team to see

1672
01:19:09,880 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 1: holiday can suit up against the first teamors because I mean,

1673
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,800
Speaker 1: you third teamer grown up against the first team wide

1674
01:19:18,840 --> 01:19:22,280
Speaker 1: receiver and he shuts them down. You're gonna hopen up

1675
01:19:22,320 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: some eyes yet a third teamor grown up against another

1676
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:29,680
Speaker 1: third teamer, and it's like, well, so how can they

1677
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:33,519
Speaker 1: do that that happen? Yeah, that's a good question. I

1678
01:19:33,560 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: mean you could, You could certainly do that. Um. I

1679
01:19:36,960 --> 01:19:40,000
Speaker 1: think some of it is the fact that there is

1680
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 1: something to be said for starting the game and earning

1681
01:19:42,600 --> 01:19:46,240
Speaker 1: that right, and I think teams kind of still do

1682
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:49,360
Speaker 1: that traditionally. Maybe that is just a tradition. I get it.

1683
01:19:49,439 --> 01:19:51,840
Speaker 1: If you want to see a kid really perform, throw

1684
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:54,120
Speaker 1: them in there in the first quarter of a preseason

1685
01:19:54,200 --> 01:19:58,880
Speaker 1: game against you know, guys like well, like like Darrell

1686
01:19:58,960 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: Reevas or Champ Bailey or somebody like that. Throw these

1687
01:20:01,479 --> 01:20:03,439
Speaker 1: little wide receivers in there. Yeah, there's something to be

1688
01:20:03,479 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: said for that. Don't don't and I don't mean to

1689
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:08,040
Speaker 1: interrupt here, go ahead. I think to his point, you

1690
01:20:08,080 --> 01:20:09,840
Speaker 1: don't want to put your whole third team out there

1691
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:12,160
Speaker 1: just to get, you know, run over by the other

1692
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,479
Speaker 1: team's first team. But as you just pointed out, if

1693
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,920
Speaker 1: you can kind of measure in, kind of sprinkle in

1694
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 1: a couple of guys that you think might be able

1695
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:21,479
Speaker 1: to play a little bit and they're surrounded by talented

1696
01:20:21,520 --> 01:20:24,080
Speaker 1: people too, so that they're not overwhelmed. I think that's

1697
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,559
Speaker 1: probably the way to do it, right. They evaluation, yeah,

1698
01:20:26,560 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 1: they and they try to do that just to a

1699
01:20:28,320 --> 01:20:30,680
Speaker 1: certain extent. But there's so many moving parts. I mean,

1700
01:20:30,880 --> 01:20:32,639
Speaker 1: now you got to call to play with those guys

1701
01:20:32,680 --> 01:20:34,560
Speaker 1: in there, and you're right. If you put in the

1702
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:39,080
Speaker 1: entire third team against you know, Carolina, you're not gonna

1703
01:20:39,080 --> 01:20:41,800
Speaker 1: look very good. You know that you got a lot

1704
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: of bunch of rookie free agents and guys who some

1705
01:20:45,360 --> 01:20:47,000
Speaker 1: of whom will not be on the team, some of

1706
01:20:47,080 --> 01:20:49,840
Speaker 1: whom will trying to run through this in their first

1707
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:52,679
Speaker 1: NFL action. You're not giving them much of a chance

1708
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,360
Speaker 1: to be successful. And I think coaches like to see

1709
01:20:56,400 --> 01:20:59,040
Speaker 1: their players be successful because they'll play better down the

1710
01:20:59,120 --> 01:21:01,280
Speaker 1: line if they a little bit more confident that they

1711
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:02,640
Speaker 1: can get it done. If you get a guy out

1712
01:21:02,680 --> 01:21:06,240
Speaker 1: there and they fail miserably, you might ruin them. And

1713
01:21:06,320 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: that's that's one of the problems they have with starting

1714
01:21:08,400 --> 01:21:11,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen on September ninth against Baltimore. You don't want

1715
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:13,960
Speaker 1: to have the guy fail right away against a really

1716
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:15,720
Speaker 1: good team. You want to make sure that he's ready

1717
01:21:15,760 --> 01:21:18,120
Speaker 1: for it when he gets in there and there's there now. Granted,

1718
01:21:18,120 --> 01:21:19,840
Speaker 1: there's only so much you can do, sooner later he's

1719
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:23,240
Speaker 1: got to play. But put that on a larger scale,

1720
01:21:23,280 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: where you got eight guys who may or may not

1721
01:21:25,439 --> 01:21:27,880
Speaker 1: be on the football team when September ninth comes around

1722
01:21:28,120 --> 01:21:30,200
Speaker 1: and you're throwing them out there against a team of

1723
01:21:30,400 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: starters who won eleven games last year, that's that's a big,

1724
01:21:34,280 --> 01:21:37,280
Speaker 1: big challenge. Plus the fact that you're just trying to

1725
01:21:37,320 --> 01:21:38,920
Speaker 1: get him to run through the plays the right way.

1726
01:21:39,280 --> 01:21:42,040
Speaker 1: So there's a lot. There's a lot in that question,

1727
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,720
Speaker 1: and it's a good question, Mark, I get that, why

1728
01:21:44,840 --> 01:21:47,120
Speaker 1: you don't, but I think they versed right. They do

1729
01:21:47,320 --> 01:21:51,000
Speaker 1: that on an individual basis, not on Moss you know,

1730
01:21:51,040 --> 01:21:53,120
Speaker 1: where they throw the whole third string out there. They'll

1731
01:21:53,160 --> 01:21:55,720
Speaker 1: do it for some guys, but not for everybody. From

1732
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:57,800
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, Answering our question what's the best thing

1733
01:21:57,880 --> 01:21:59,880
Speaker 1: the Bills might get out of to Night's preseason game,

1734
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:03,160
Speaker 1: Nick Spodani says it's quarterback drive in the league, and

1735
01:22:03,320 --> 01:22:07,040
Speaker 1: among all else, having Josh Allen succeed tonight could be

1736
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:09,799
Speaker 1: a nice launching off point. Yeah, at least a launching

1737
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:12,920
Speaker 1: off point depending on how much he succeeds. Similar thought

1738
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:15,200
Speaker 1: on the phone line from Adam and Buffalo. Adam, go ahead,

1739
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:17,800
Speaker 1: and you're onund the air with us. Boy, Thanks luck guys.

1740
01:22:17,920 --> 01:22:22,920
Speaker 1: Sure well, Mark stole my first one. Definitely walking out

1741
01:22:22,960 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 1: of this game with no injuries would be key, sure

1742
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:27,920
Speaker 1: week one. And that's kind of the last thing we

1743
01:22:28,000 --> 01:22:29,719
Speaker 1: need is for anybody to get her, you know, especially

1744
01:22:29,760 --> 01:22:33,040
Speaker 1: a contributor. But I would say the other great thing

1745
01:22:33,080 --> 01:22:34,639
Speaker 1: we could get out of this if we're so lucky,

1746
01:22:34,840 --> 01:22:38,600
Speaker 1: is whether it's Josh Allen or Peterman or McCarron. You know,

1747
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,240
Speaker 1: if one of these guys could play well enough tonight

1748
01:22:41,360 --> 01:22:45,080
Speaker 1: in comparison to create enough separation that, you know, moving

1749
01:22:45,120 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 1: forward in training camp, they're they're taking the lions, share

1750
01:22:47,680 --> 01:22:50,599
Speaker 1: those number one reps. I think that's probably the best

1751
01:22:50,680 --> 01:22:52,640
Speaker 1: thing we could see right now. And yeah, we all

1752
01:22:52,960 --> 01:22:55,000
Speaker 1: allow of the eventual number one guy to really start

1753
01:22:55,080 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 1: settling in. Stop repeating. That's a good point, a really

1754
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:00,400
Speaker 1: good point, Adam. And it gets to an interesting that

1755
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, Steve and I and Mark Kelso and several

1756
01:23:03,240 --> 01:23:06,960
Speaker 1: others met with Sean McDermott yesterday right production meeting kind

1757
01:23:07,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Speaker 1: of background on what you know, what he anticipates tonight,

1758
01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: what he planned, and his plan is tonight. And the

1759
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,320
Speaker 1: one thing that I think a couple of us asked

1760
01:23:14,400 --> 01:23:16,160
Speaker 1: and you can't quite get to it, but I got

1761
01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:17,800
Speaker 1: the sense, Steve, see if you agree, you may not.

1762
01:23:18,439 --> 01:23:21,000
Speaker 1: I got the sense that in his mind Sean McDermott

1763
01:23:21,439 --> 01:23:24,360
Speaker 1: has a time when he's going to be ready to

1764
01:23:24,600 --> 01:23:26,439
Speaker 1: decide on a quarterback. He's not going to tell us.

1765
01:23:26,920 --> 01:23:29,280
Speaker 1: He hasn't told anybody. He doesn't even hasn't even said

1766
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:31,800
Speaker 1: it were starting tonight. But I do think that they

1767
01:23:31,880 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: have a plan he's talked about that they're following the plan.

1768
01:23:34,240 --> 01:23:36,840
Speaker 1: The plan includes his decision for tonight's game. And I

1769
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:38,840
Speaker 1: think that we are maybe a week, a week and

1770
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:41,040
Speaker 1: a half, two weeks away from the time in his

1771
01:23:41,160 --> 01:23:44,599
Speaker 1: mind when Sean McDermott says we gotta go with this guy,

1772
01:23:44,680 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 1: whoever it is, whichever the three You know what I'm saying,

1773
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:48,360
Speaker 1: we're getting close to that a week, week and a half.

1774
01:23:48,439 --> 01:23:50,360
Speaker 1: Maybe we asked him, you know, as obviously that was

1775
01:23:50,360 --> 01:23:52,439
Speaker 1: a bigger thing on our question. He goes, we haven't

1776
01:23:52,479 --> 01:23:54,720
Speaker 1: made a decision, But he goes he also said the thing,

1777
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:56,400
Speaker 1: and I was telling him, I think I agree with you.

1778
01:23:57,040 --> 01:23:58,920
Speaker 1: He says, he doesn't want this to linger. I'm we're

1779
01:23:58,920 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna talk about He'll talk about it on

1780
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:02,479
Speaker 1: the radio side as well, because Kelso was in the

1781
01:24:02,560 --> 01:24:06,120
Speaker 1: room with us, and I was there and Rob Stone

1782
01:24:06,200 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: was there. We're going to talk about it on our broadcast.

1783
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott does not want this quarterback thing to go

1784
01:24:10,720 --> 01:24:14,000
Speaker 1: all the way to a last preseason game. He does

1785
01:24:14,040 --> 01:24:15,640
Speaker 1: not want the decision to linger. Now. I mean he

1786
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:17,880
Speaker 1: may have to keep the try to keep the decision

1787
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:20,040
Speaker 1: is secret as long as he wants, or as long

1788
01:24:20,120 --> 01:24:22,960
Speaker 1: as they can for whatever competitive advantage they could get

1789
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,320
Speaker 1: out of it. But they're going to answer that question

1790
01:24:25,400 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: as fast as they can. They don't want that to linger.

1791
01:24:28,240 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 1: And tonight's the beginning of it. Yeah, there's a competitive advantage.

1792
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:34,439
Speaker 1: There's also a practical advantage to say, and as the

1793
01:24:34,520 --> 01:24:37,240
Speaker 1: caller I think just pointed out, as Adam just pointed out,

1794
01:24:37,479 --> 01:24:39,720
Speaker 1: a practical advantage to getting to the point where it's like,

1795
01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,639
Speaker 1: all right, there's our guy. He's getting the first team

1796
01:24:42,680 --> 01:24:45,600
Speaker 1: reps in every practice, for the most part, getting the

1797
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,200
Speaker 1: majority of the reps because up until now, even though

1798
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,759
Speaker 1: they're playing. You know, Alan plays mostly with the threes

1799
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:54,160
Speaker 1: and Peterman mccaren with the ones and twos. But if

1800
01:24:54,280 --> 01:24:56,320
Speaker 1: I haven't charted them every play, but if you added

1801
01:24:56,360 --> 01:24:58,680
Speaker 1: them up, they're getting a pretty much equivalent number of

1802
01:24:58,720 --> 01:25:01,320
Speaker 1: snaps each one of them. Yeah, in the first two weeks. Listen,

1803
01:25:01,360 --> 01:25:04,640
Speaker 1: here's the thing. When right, you can't continue because and

1804
01:25:05,240 --> 01:25:09,080
Speaker 1: my old coach, whom I had a ton of respect for,

1805
01:25:09,240 --> 01:25:12,240
Speaker 1: loved him to death, Nick Nikolau. He said, you know,

1806
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:13,960
Speaker 1: you don't want to split those up because then you're

1807
01:25:13,960 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 1: getting two guys half ready to play. Yeah, you gotta

1808
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:20,200
Speaker 1: get one guy ready to play, really ready, So you

1809
01:25:20,320 --> 01:25:22,559
Speaker 1: gotta give him reps. You gotta start throwing in game

1810
01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,679
Speaker 1: plan stuff. You gotta sprinkle in stuff that you're gonna

1811
01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:27,479
Speaker 1: use in your offense weekend, week out. You gotta get

1812
01:25:27,640 --> 01:25:31,120
Speaker 1: him ready. And that's why you know Sean McDermott doesn't

1813
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:32,840
Speaker 1: want to delay this. You don't want to get three

1814
01:25:32,920 --> 01:25:36,519
Speaker 1: guys thirty three percent ready to play an NFL start,

1815
01:25:36,640 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 1: start an NFL game. You gotta get one guy one

1816
01:25:38,640 --> 01:25:40,760
Speaker 1: hundred percent ready, and you gotta give him reps. So

1817
01:25:40,800 --> 01:25:42,680
Speaker 1: that's why they don't want this to linger, and he's

1818
01:25:43,200 --> 01:25:46,960
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermot's right. You gotta get a guy ready right now,

1819
01:25:47,040 --> 01:25:49,960
Speaker 1: here's the good news, all right. So camp is two

1820
01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:53,519
Speaker 1: weeks old and just a week left. Next Wednesday's the

1821
01:25:53,560 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: final day at Fisher But there's one, two, three, four

1822
01:25:56,600 --> 01:25:59,720
Speaker 1: weeks plus until the regular season opener, so there is

1823
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:01,840
Speaker 1: time to get a guy ready. But I do, as

1824
01:26:01,880 --> 01:26:04,400
Speaker 1: I said, the next week and a half, which would

1825
01:26:04,400 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 1: make it three and a half weeks until they're you know,

1826
01:26:06,400 --> 01:26:08,960
Speaker 1: three three weeks until the season opens. I look for

1827
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Speaker 1: a decision and a move in that direction. Right, if

1828
01:26:12,040 --> 01:26:15,160
Speaker 1: you get your starter three weeks, look, campbell end, they'll

1829
01:26:15,200 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 1: practice here for a couple of weeks. And if you

1830
01:26:17,600 --> 01:26:19,519
Speaker 1: give your starter three weeks to go with the ones

1831
01:26:19,560 --> 01:26:20,960
Speaker 1: and to get up the majority of the reps that

1832
01:26:20,960 --> 01:26:23,760
Speaker 1: you're doing okay. But yeah, and I think too. I

1833
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:27,400
Speaker 1: think McDermott will probably announce it at one of his

1834
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:29,800
Speaker 1: morning pressers, say Hey, we're gonna start. We're gonna go

1835
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:32,840
Speaker 1: with a B or C is gonna be our guy,

1836
01:26:32,880 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: and we're gonna give him more reps today with the ones,

1837
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: And that'll be the signal that it happens, because we're

1838
01:26:36,840 --> 01:26:39,760
Speaker 1: gonna go with that. I don't think they'll just go

1839
01:26:39,880 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 1: out there and start playing one of these quarterbacks a

1840
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: lion share the snaps without you know, because then they'll

1841
01:26:45,040 --> 01:26:47,280
Speaker 1: have to deal with it anyway, because everybody out there watching,

1842
01:26:47,320 --> 01:26:49,960
Speaker 1: it's gonna know who the guy is, so it's gonna

1843
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:54,880
Speaker 1: become clear. I think it may become obvious to all

1844
01:26:54,960 --> 01:26:56,559
Speaker 1: of us. And I think that's one of the things

1845
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: that people want to see tonight when and it's in

1846
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:03,120
Speaker 1: this you want to see who's gonna separate themselves. And

1847
01:27:03,360 --> 01:27:05,880
Speaker 1: he told us and he has said, these games mean

1848
01:27:05,960 --> 01:27:08,559
Speaker 1: a lot in the evaluation process. Let's see you play.

1849
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,639
Speaker 1: So we'll probably all get an idea of who's separating

1850
01:27:12,720 --> 01:27:15,680
Speaker 1: themselves after tonight, I hope. So we'll see what's the

1851
01:27:15,720 --> 01:27:17,559
Speaker 1: best thing the Bills and their fans can get out

1852
01:27:17,600 --> 01:27:20,519
Speaker 1: of tonight's preseason game the opener against the Panthers. Talk

1853
01:27:20,600 --> 01:27:23,120
Speaker 1: more about that. The interesting thing I just thought about,

1854
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:25,040
Speaker 1: it's gonna be interesting to see if if the coaches

1855
01:27:25,080 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: see it the same way all of us do, because

1856
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:29,200
Speaker 1: they see everything, I mean, and they know things we

1857
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:32,760
Speaker 1: don't know, so their evaluation could be very different from ours.

1858
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:36,960
Speaker 1: We go with hey, wow, nice throw, you know, nice path. Hey,

1859
01:27:36,960 --> 01:27:38,800
Speaker 1: it was a great kid. Yeah, they don't it'd be

1860
01:27:38,880 --> 01:27:41,439
Speaker 1: great radio, right, Yeah, I mean they're gonna what are

1861
01:27:41,479 --> 01:27:43,719
Speaker 1: they doing? Will they see it the same way? Because

1862
01:27:43,720 --> 01:27:45,519
Speaker 1: there's a big there's a pretty good chance they'll see

1863
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:47,479
Speaker 1: it just a hair different than we do. Yeah, or

1864
01:27:47,560 --> 01:27:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe not as exaggerated as we do. You're right, all right.

1865
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:52,400
Speaker 1: When we come back, we're gonna talk about some of

1866
01:27:52,439 --> 01:27:55,600
Speaker 1: the other storylines. You're eleven other preseason games going on

1867
01:27:55,760 --> 01:27:57,920
Speaker 1: around the NFL tonight. Steve and I have some thoughts

1868
01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,880
Speaker 1: on some of those games, and we want to continue

1869
01:27:59,880 --> 01:28:02,040
Speaker 1: this discussion. Give us a call. The best thing the

1870
01:28:02,120 --> 01:28:04,760
Speaker 1: Bills can get out tonight's preseason opener eight oh three

1871
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: five fifty and toll Free one eight eight eight by

1872
01:28:07,520 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: fifty two five fifty. John Murphy Steve Tasker back with

1873

1876
01:28:32,720 --> 01:28:35,679
Speaker 1: Beautiful day with new airfield. They get the field ready

1877
01:28:36,479 --> 01:28:39,040
Speaker 1: for the Bills in the Carolina Panthers Tonight, one of

1878
01:28:39,120 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: twelve preseason games on the schedule. You know, if you

1879
01:28:42,120 --> 01:28:44,960
Speaker 1: look at this thing, these things this way, Steve, it's

1880
01:28:44,960 --> 01:28:47,519
Speaker 1: got to be one of the better preseason game schedule tonight.

1881
01:28:47,560 --> 01:28:49,320
Speaker 1: You got a nine win Bills team from last year

1882
01:28:49,360 --> 01:28:52,000
Speaker 1: and eleven win Carolina team from last year. You got

1883
01:28:52,840 --> 01:28:54,760
Speaker 1: issues in questions. I mean, the Bills have the big

1884
01:28:54,840 --> 01:28:57,679
Speaker 1: quarterback question to solve. For my money, this is both

1885
01:28:57,720 --> 01:28:59,439
Speaker 1: of us tonight have a chance to broadcast one of

1886
01:28:59,479 --> 01:29:02,280
Speaker 1: the most helling preseason games of the whole weekend, one

1887
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:06,720
Speaker 1: of twelve games tonight. Yeah. Yeah, New Orleans is playing Jacksonville.

1888
01:29:06,840 --> 01:29:08,200
Speaker 1: It's a lot of people think that could be a

1889
01:29:08,240 --> 01:29:12,560
Speaker 1: super Bowl matchup. Who thinks that. I'm not. I'm just

1890
01:29:12,680 --> 01:29:15,840
Speaker 1: saying that there's two pretty good football teams, Steelers and

1891
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:18,639
Speaker 1: Eagles tonight at seven o'clock in Philly. That's a good game. Yeah,

1892
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:21,240
Speaker 1: that's a that's a kind of a grudge match there

1893
01:29:21,760 --> 01:29:24,960
Speaker 1: for the Battle of Pennsylvania. Yeah. You know what's not

1894
01:29:25,040 --> 01:29:28,000
Speaker 1: a good game tonight is any game involving in Cleveland

1895
01:29:28,080 --> 01:29:32,400
Speaker 1: Browns and they got the Giants tonight because there are

1896
01:29:32,560 --> 01:29:35,320
Speaker 1: horrible team last year and there's so much attention focused

1897
01:29:35,360 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 1: on them with the number one pick with hard knocks

1898
01:29:37,960 --> 01:29:40,360
Speaker 1: with all of the storylines coming out of there. I

1899
01:29:40,439 --> 01:29:44,160
Speaker 1: just I don't get the top two picks of the draft. Yeah,

1900
01:29:45,400 --> 01:29:47,680
Speaker 1: and Baker Mayfield. I just don't think they're any good

1901
01:29:47,800 --> 01:29:49,280
Speaker 1: and I don't think they'll be good this year. And

1902
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:50,920
Speaker 1: I think I would not go out of my way

1903
01:29:50,920 --> 01:29:52,519
Speaker 1: to watch them improve. I think the Browns are going

1904
01:29:52,600 --> 01:29:56,200
Speaker 1: to be markedly improved. Yeah, I do. I do. I

1905
01:29:56,320 --> 01:29:58,320
Speaker 1: think they're going to be markedly improved. I got they

1906
01:29:58,360 --> 01:30:00,240
Speaker 1: got a lot of talent there. They've gotten some really

1907
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,320
Speaker 1: good free agents. I like Greg Williams as a defensive coordinator.

1908
01:30:03,360 --> 01:30:06,920
Speaker 1: Todd Haley's gonna bring some spice to their offense. Um,

1909
01:30:08,320 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 1: we'll see. I think they're, like we spoke about yesterday briefly.

1910
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:17,000
Speaker 1: Their coordinators are our oil and vinegar, you know, I

1911
01:30:17,080 --> 01:30:20,800
Speaker 1: mean they're what do you mean they don't mix? You know.

1912
01:30:21,400 --> 01:30:25,880
Speaker 1: Todd Haley is you know, short, short, fused, volatile, combative

1913
01:30:26,800 --> 01:30:32,760
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, and Greg Williams is once in a while, right,

1914
01:30:33,040 --> 01:30:35,960
Speaker 1: you gotta love the guy. I know I do too,

1915
01:30:36,080 --> 01:30:41,599
Speaker 1: But you know, they Hugh Jackson is you know, trying

1916
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:43,680
Speaker 1: to keep a lid on those two guys, you know, right,

1917
01:30:43,920 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: and and uh, yeah, I think Cleveland Browns are interesting

1918
01:30:48,280 --> 01:30:50,120
Speaker 1: for forget how they do on the field. I'd love

1919
01:30:50,160 --> 01:30:52,040
Speaker 1: to be in their staff meetings just to fly on

1920
01:30:52,120 --> 01:30:57,679
Speaker 1: the wall because there's some there's some expletives deleted flying

1921
01:30:57,720 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 1: around that room. So I will make a point because

1922
01:31:00,479 --> 01:31:02,880
Speaker 1: we talked about it yesterday and I didn't watch the

1923
01:31:02,960 --> 01:31:05,160
Speaker 1: first installment of Hard Knocks, but I'll watch it over

1924
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,679
Speaker 1: the weekend probably and look forward to it. But again,

1925
01:31:08,040 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 1: not because of any affection or real interest in the Browns,

1926
01:31:11,280 --> 01:31:13,679
Speaker 1: just because it's Hard Knocks and they're playing the Giants tonight.

1927
01:31:13,840 --> 01:31:16,559
Speaker 1: Yeah in Cleveland, in New York, in New York, Okay,

1928

Speaker 1: go ahead, that right, Yeah, in New York seven o'clock tonight. Yeah,

1930
01:31:23,160 --> 01:31:24,760
Speaker 1: we're going to talk more about that in the third

1931
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:26,640
Speaker 1: and final hour of the show. Want to get you

01:31:30,479 --> 01:31:32,800
Speaker 1: best case scenario for the Bills tonight. What's the best

1934
01:31:32,880 --> 01:31:34,680
Speaker 1: thing to Bills or their fans could get out of

Speaker 1: as to who he will start a quarterback tonight or

1952
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,880
Speaker 1: how he will use this quarterbacks. In the first preseason game,

1953
01:32:40,040 --> 01:32:42,679
Speaker 1: it would be johsh Allen, A J McCarron, or Nathan Peterman,

1954
01:32:42,840 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: but there are other battles to watch as well. Starting

1955
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:48,160
Speaker 1: center Ryan Groy Russell Bonain locked into a battle there

1956
01:32:48,280 --> 01:32:51,759
Speaker 1: nickel corner Karen Johnson, the fourth round pick, and Philip Gaines,

1957
01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:54,960
Speaker 1: the veteran. A number of backup spots up for Grahams too.

1958
01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,880
Speaker 1: It is not likely that wide receivers Zay Jones will

1959
01:32:57,960 --> 01:33:00,200
Speaker 1: play tonight. He still has not had a full to

1960
01:33:00,360 --> 01:33:04,160
Speaker 1: d and training camp. Not likely that unrestricted freege and

1961
01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,600
Speaker 1: defensive end Trent Murphy will play tonight, he said a

1962
01:33:06,640 --> 01:33:08,200
Speaker 1: growing that's kept him out a little bit more than

1963
01:33:08,240 --> 01:33:10,560
Speaker 1: a week now, and the wide receiver Cory Coleman not

1964
01:33:10,680 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: expected to play after just one day of practice this week.

1965
01:33:13,400 --> 01:33:16,480
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, Bill's Carolina at seven o'clock in a new airfield,

1970
01:33:29,080 --> 01:33:32,080
Speaker 1: o'clock tonight. Panthers made a move to beef up their

1971
01:33:32,160 --> 01:33:35,240
Speaker 1: depth on the offensive line late yesterday, signing center guard

1972
01:33:35,320 --> 01:33:38,080
Speaker 1: Tyler Larson to a two year extension. He was set

1973
01:33:38,120 --> 01:33:40,960
Speaker 1: to enter the final year of his contract. His extension

1974
01:33:41,040 --> 01:33:43,800
Speaker 1: comes in the wake of tackled Darryl Williams knee injury

1975
01:33:44,200 --> 01:33:47,080
Speaker 1: and surgery coming up for a mini silatolo or a

1976
01:33:47,160 --> 01:33:51,120

1981
01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:05,760
Speaker 1: get credit for an a crude season, meaning he will

1982
01:34:05,800 --> 01:34:08,439
Speaker 1: not be an unrestricted free agent if he plays out

1983
01:34:08,479 --> 01:34:11,320
Speaker 1: the season without a new deal. Raiders want Pro Bowl

1984

2011
01:35:30,040 --> 01:35:32,120
Speaker 1: best And the question is this, what's the best thing

2012
01:35:32,200 --> 01:35:34,639
Speaker 1: we can get out of tonight's Buffalo Bill's preseason game

2013
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:37,800
Speaker 1: versus the Panthers. Is it is it that Josh Allen

2014
01:35:37,880 --> 01:35:40,360
Speaker 1: could be a starter. Is it the Tremaine Edmonds shows

2015
01:35:40,400 --> 01:35:42,800
Speaker 1: that he's a stud, Is that the offensive line will

2016
01:35:42,840 --> 01:35:44,600
Speaker 1: be okay? Or is it something else? Do you have

2017
01:35:44,640 --> 01:35:47,519
Speaker 1: an answer for that top notch Twitter poll that we

2018
01:35:47,640 --> 01:35:51,360
Speaker 1: put on, Well, I'll think along and heard about it.

2019
01:35:51,400 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 1: I'll go with the tried and true preseason answer, which

2020
01:35:53,520 --> 01:35:55,080
Speaker 1: is come out of this uninjured. You know, so I'll

2021
01:35:55,120 --> 01:36:01,320
Speaker 1: take other you know, the answer that question. You know,

2022
01:36:01,520 --> 01:36:04,519
Speaker 1: if you want me to play along, I think Chremaine Edmunds,

2023
01:36:04,560 --> 01:36:06,519
Speaker 1: you know, looking good, and you know, I mean there's

2024
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: there's no reason that he can't go out there and

2025
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:11,240
Speaker 1: you know, uh, get after Cam Newton a little bit

2026
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: and make some explosive plays. I you know, everyone I'm

2027
01:36:14,520 --> 01:36:17,360
Speaker 1: sure is excited to see Josh Allen play. But um,

2028
01:36:17,479 --> 01:36:19,719
Speaker 1: you know, considering all the things that go into a quarterback,

2029
01:36:19,840 --> 01:36:22,759
Speaker 1: maturing and learning and figuring things out, you know, Chremaine Edmonds,

2030
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:24,120
Speaker 1: they can just turn them loose tonight and I'm really

2031
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:26,679
Speaker 1: looking forward to seeing how that goes. Yeah, you're picking others.

2032
01:36:26,760 --> 01:36:28,840
Speaker 1: A total rookie mistake. So I'm going to keep it,

2033
01:36:30,560 --> 01:36:32,320
Speaker 1: but we are looking forward to having it, so I

2034
01:36:32,360 --> 01:36:35,880
Speaker 1: wouldn't your impressions. I mean, you've been you've seen these

2035
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 1: the bills, you've been covering them for nineteen years. What

2036
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:40,680
Speaker 1: are your impressions been thus foreign training camp. You've been

2037
01:36:40,720 --> 01:36:43,439
Speaker 1: over there every day, We've been having conversations and and

2038
01:36:44,080 --> 01:36:46,240
Speaker 1: one of the things I've noticed about this training camp,

2039
01:36:46,280 --> 01:36:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't really notice it from last year, but they

2040
01:36:49,160 --> 01:36:50,960
Speaker 1: do see and I said this to Murph early on,

2041
01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:53,560
Speaker 1: they're buttoned up. I mean this is a a as

2042
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:58,720
Speaker 1: a very together and very close knit training camp with

2043
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:00,800
Speaker 1: the coaches, with the players. I mean they are on

2044
01:37:00,960 --> 01:37:04,000
Speaker 1: it from step one to step twenty five. They all

2045
01:37:04,040 --> 01:37:06,920
Speaker 1: seem to be going in the same direction. And this

2046
01:37:07,080 --> 01:37:08,920
Speaker 1: goes back to last year. I mean you saw this

2047
01:37:09,040 --> 01:37:11,200
Speaker 1: in training camp. You know last year. This is not

2048
01:37:11,320 --> 01:37:14,360
Speaker 1: the organization that that leaves loose ends. Um. This is

2049
01:37:14,400 --> 01:37:16,519
Speaker 1: not the team that you know there's trouble figuring out

2050
01:37:16,520 --> 01:37:18,240
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be on the field. They have things

2051
01:37:18,320 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: taken care of. But you know, you brought up the

2052
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,360
Speaker 1: word close knit, and that's always been the thing that's

2053
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:25,720
Speaker 1: impressed me about this group and this organization. These are

2054
01:37:25,760 --> 01:37:27,800
Speaker 1: guys that really get along. I mean, the defensive backs

2055
01:37:27,840 --> 01:37:29,479
Speaker 1: have been hanging out with each other since day one.

2056
01:37:32,600 --> 01:37:37,080
Speaker 1: We lost them, Dad, we lost Are you there, guys, Yeah?

2057
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:42,120
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Yeah. So you know that this this organization

2058
01:37:42,160 --> 01:37:44,920
Speaker 1: has done a good job of building not just a

2059
01:37:45,080 --> 01:37:47,599
Speaker 1: buttoned up, we're not going to make mistakes type of culture.

2060
01:37:47,800 --> 01:37:50,120
Speaker 1: But they get along. They're together, you know, they the

2061
01:37:50,280 --> 01:37:53,519
Speaker 1: defensive backs hang out together. They they do things together.

2062
01:37:53,640 --> 01:37:55,880
Speaker 1: They like each other, They push for each other, you know,

2063
01:37:55,920 --> 01:37:57,800
Speaker 1: and not just hey, he's on my team. I think

2064
01:37:57,840 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: these guys are more emotionally invested than any Bill team

2065
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:02,120
Speaker 1: have ever covered. You know. Whether that leads to wins

2066
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:04,599
Speaker 1: the losses, I don't know, but I think that's definitely

2067
01:38:04,640 --> 01:38:07,080
Speaker 1: a positive. You know, let me say this and bounce

2068
01:38:07,120 --> 01:38:10,320
Speaker 1: this off both Youth and you, Steve, and to your

2069
01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:16,439
Speaker 1: point that the experience of last year, sustaining their focus

2070
01:38:16,560 --> 01:38:20,519
Speaker 1: during a horrible three game losing streak in November, having

2071
01:38:20,560 --> 01:38:22,639
Speaker 1: a good season despite the fact that many people thought

2072
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,640
Speaker 1: they go into the year and tank. I think that

2073
01:38:24,800 --> 01:38:28,640
Speaker 1: experience serves this year's team well because number one, they

2074
01:38:28,720 --> 01:38:30,760
Speaker 1: buy to what McDermott is telling them. Number Two, they

2075
01:38:30,800 --> 01:38:33,719
Speaker 1: know how to kind of choke the negativity is, as

2076
01:38:33,800 --> 01:38:35,360
Speaker 1: it's been said, you know, just kind of press on

2077
01:38:35,479 --> 01:38:37,200
Speaker 1: no matter what's being said about them. Do you guys

2078
01:38:37,200 --> 01:38:41,000
Speaker 1: agree with that? Yeah? I think so, And I talked

2079
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:42,840
Speaker 1: to Brandon being a little earlier in camp about it.

2080
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:44,880
Speaker 1: You know, that three game losing streak is something that

2081
01:38:44,960 --> 01:38:47,000
Speaker 1: the Bills are going to use this year to point to,

2082
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 1: not only to do the things you talked about, but

2083
01:38:49,479 --> 01:38:52,480
Speaker 1: also as an example of how they can overcome adversity.

2084
01:38:52,680 --> 01:38:54,800
Speaker 1: We've heard it from McDermot and Brandon being a lot.

2085
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:57,160
Speaker 1: You know, in a football season, bad things are going

2086
01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:58,519
Speaker 1: to happen. You know, you're not gonna be able to

2087
01:38:58,560 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: plan for everything. But year the Bills had that three

2088
01:39:01,600 --> 01:39:04,240
Speaker 1: game losing streak, they bounced back one four the last

2089
01:39:04,280 --> 01:39:06,519
Speaker 1: five or four the last six and made the playoffs.

2090
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:08,960
Speaker 1: And they're going to go back to that this year

2091
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:10,559
Speaker 1: and say this is how we did it last year,

2092
01:39:10,760 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 1: we can still do it again this year. Yeah. And

2093
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:14,040
Speaker 1: one of the things about this team is that, and

2094
01:39:14,120 --> 01:39:16,320
Speaker 1: they said it early on in the in the offseason.

2095
01:39:16,360 --> 01:39:17,960
Speaker 1: They had a lot of guys last year on one

2096
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:20,400
Speaker 1: year deals. A lot of guys proved themselves and played

2097
01:39:20,439 --> 01:39:22,200
Speaker 1: well during that and a lot of them are not here,

2098
01:39:22,560 --> 01:39:26,080
Speaker 1: Guys who they kind of wish, guys that they lost

2099
01:39:26,160 --> 01:39:28,720
Speaker 1: in free agency, and good players that are no longer here.

2100
01:39:29,000 --> 01:39:32,719
Speaker 1: But one of the things about it is it's gonna

2101
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:36,320
Speaker 1: be a team built from scratch. Certainly there are pieces

2102
01:39:36,360 --> 01:39:39,759
Speaker 1: in place from last year's team, but there's a new sense,

2103
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:42,840
Speaker 1: a new roster, a new field, a new identity. And

2104
01:39:42,920 --> 01:39:47,559
Speaker 1: I think this is unlike other years. They're perfectly willing

2105
01:39:48,120 --> 01:39:50,599
Speaker 1: to change the entire look of this football team from

2106
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:52,680
Speaker 1: one year to the next based on who they can

2107
01:39:52,760 --> 01:39:54,880
Speaker 1: get to play for him, and they don't have problems

2108
01:39:54,960 --> 01:39:58,200
Speaker 1: switching teams, switching players out, and changing the identity of

2109
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:00,679
Speaker 1: the team. We're gonna get our first look at that tonight.

2110
01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:04,519
Speaker 1: What do you expect? But I think we're gonna see

2111
01:40:04,520 --> 01:40:06,439
Speaker 1: a team. I think your point is, you know, is

2112
01:40:06,439 --> 01:40:08,080
Speaker 1: well made. We're gonna see a team kind of feeling

2113
01:40:08,080 --> 01:40:10,719
Speaker 1: themselves out a little bit, especially up front on both lines.

2114
01:40:10,840 --> 01:40:14,800
Speaker 1: You know you've got defensively Kyle Williams and and Jerry

2115
01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:17,360
Speaker 1: Hughes back, but you know Star Latoula next to Kyle

2116
01:40:17,400 --> 01:40:18,760
Speaker 1: in the middle is going to be a big factor

2117
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:21,600
Speaker 1: for that defense, and especially on the offensive side. You know,

2118
01:40:21,680 --> 01:40:24,479
Speaker 1: only Dion Dawkins is the only returning starter in the

2119
01:40:24,600 --> 01:40:27,639
Speaker 1: same position Jordan Mills probably at right tackle. So there's

2120
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:29,840
Speaker 1: gonna be a bit of a feeling out process, I

2121
01:40:29,920 --> 01:40:33,400
Speaker 1: think for both lines up front. But um, you know,

2122
01:40:33,760 --> 01:40:36,040
Speaker 1: like like we started this interview, the Bills are not

2123
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: an organization that's going to look um like they don't

2124
01:40:39,520 --> 01:40:41,479
Speaker 1: have their their junk together. You know, they're gonna look

2125
01:40:41,600 --> 01:40:44,200
Speaker 1: polished even for preseason game number one, and you know,

2126
01:40:44,200 --> 01:40:45,720
Speaker 1: I think a team ready to go for the most

2127
01:40:45,760 --> 01:40:48,320
Speaker 1: part on the line with Dan Brownie is a sports

2128
01:40:48,360 --> 01:40:51,719
Speaker 1: director at w ro OCTV and Rochester cover the Bills

2129
01:40:51,760 --> 01:40:53,679
Speaker 1: for almost twenty years of me in the sidelines tonight

2130
01:40:53,760 --> 01:40:56,240
Speaker 1: on the telecast of the Bills and the Carolina Panthers,

2131
01:40:56,280 --> 01:40:59,760
Speaker 1: a new sideline reporter as a football fan over the years,

2132
01:41:00,320 --> 01:41:03,719
Speaker 1: who is your favorite sideline reporter other than Steve Tasker?

2133
01:41:03,760 --> 01:41:07,479
Speaker 1: Who is your favorite sideline reporter in the NFL? Oh,

2134
01:41:07,520 --> 01:41:09,760
Speaker 1: I can't say. Steve's askers at the rules, Well, it's

2135
01:41:09,760 --> 01:41:12,680
Speaker 1: anticipated you would, so I figured, okay, we just get

2136
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:15,960
Speaker 1: past that. I mean, listen, he already made one rookie mistake.

2137
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:22,160
Speaker 1: You can't the uh, the NBA, Holly row is it.

2138
01:41:22,360 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 1: I think that the NBA reporter, if she's fantastic. She

2139
01:41:25,400 --> 01:41:29,000
Speaker 1: does a great job of not only just managing the sideline,

2140
01:41:29,040 --> 01:41:31,959
Speaker 1: but having good, you know, questions and you know, insightful

2141
01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,040
Speaker 1: things to say to someone on the sideline. And I

2142
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,519
Speaker 1: respect all those NBA reporters because they've got to interview

2143
01:41:36,600 --> 01:41:38,680
Speaker 1: Greg Popovitch like five times a year, and I don't

2144
01:41:38,720 --> 01:41:41,000
Speaker 1: know how the heck they do all that, um, you know,

2145
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,439
Speaker 1: football wise. I don't know if this counts NFL, but

2146
01:41:43,479 --> 01:41:45,599
Speaker 1: ha been Washburn, you know. And then Steve knows him

2147
01:41:45,640 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 1: well from CBS. I've been very impressed with his work.

2148
01:41:47,920 --> 01:41:49,680
Speaker 1: He does a lot of college stuff, but I think

2149
01:41:49,720 --> 01:41:52,559
Speaker 1: he does Ravens preseason games too. So you know, there's

2150
01:41:52,560 --> 01:41:54,920
Speaker 1: another guy that not only does he do a good

2151
01:41:54,960 --> 01:41:57,280
Speaker 1: job in terms of reporting and question asking, but he

2152
01:41:57,360 --> 01:41:59,280
Speaker 1: keeps it light on the sideline, he keeps it fun

2153
01:41:59,320 --> 01:42:01,320
Speaker 1: and you know for preseason game that's kind of part

2154
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:03,200
Speaker 1: of the deal. I think, Yeah, you know who my

2155
01:42:03,240 --> 01:42:06,439
Speaker 1: favorite is, Michelle Tafoya Sunday Night football. You know why

2156
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:08,080
Speaker 1: there was a game I can't remember who it was

2157
01:42:08,120 --> 01:42:10,559
Speaker 1: for the Baltimore Ravens, a wide receiver whose brother had

2158
01:42:10,600 --> 01:42:13,360
Speaker 1: been killed like that week before. You guys, remember who

2159
01:42:13,439 --> 01:42:15,679
Speaker 1: that was, Dad, I don't know who it was. Anyway,

2160
01:42:16,439 --> 01:42:19,040
Speaker 1: they're doing the Ravens game. Michelle Tafoya talked to the

2161
01:42:19,120 --> 01:42:22,280
Speaker 1: guy about it and and she was great, and she

2162
01:42:22,439 --> 01:42:26,000
Speaker 1: talked about it after she talked to him, and I thought, Wow,

2163
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:28,719
Speaker 1: she handled that perfectly. And I thought it's a very delicate,

2164
01:42:28,840 --> 01:42:32,080
Speaker 1: very tricky emotional situation, and she just nailed it. I

2165
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:34,560
Speaker 1: actually banged out an email to her and got a

2166
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:36,320
Speaker 1: nice response. I said, that was as good as it

2167
01:42:36,400 --> 01:42:40,599
Speaker 1: ever gets for very talent. He got Tracy Woolsem's CBS

2168
01:42:40,720 --> 01:42:44,240
Speaker 1: Lisa Salters for Monday Night Football. Yeah, you don't have

2169
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 1: to give him that little dismission. And they're all good.

2170
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,439
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what. In every and they're all

2171
01:42:49,960 --> 01:42:52,400
Speaker 1: in the same job, they're all unique because every game

2172
01:42:52,520 --> 01:42:56,200
Speaker 1: is unique, and you're dealing with two head coaches and uh,

2173
01:42:57,200 --> 01:42:59,920
Speaker 1: you know, Dad, you said, we asked, always asked this

2174
01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:01,920
Speaker 1: in the production mean people ask what goes on there.

2175
01:43:01,960 --> 01:43:05,720
Speaker 1: We asked Sean McDermott, if if you could conduct an

2176
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:07,080
Speaker 1: interview with him, you could talk to him on the

2177
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,080
Speaker 1: way in or out, and he actually gave his permission

2178
01:43:09,120 --> 01:43:11,320
Speaker 1: to do that. Am I right? Yep, Yeah, we are

2179
01:43:11,360 --> 01:43:13,200
Speaker 1: going to talk to Sean McDermott at the end of

2180
01:43:13,240 --> 01:43:14,840
Speaker 1: the second quarter going at a half time tonight. So

2181
01:43:14,920 --> 01:43:16,760
Speaker 1: you got about eight or nine questions for him then, no,

2182
01:43:17,960 --> 01:43:23,599
Speaker 1: I'm unlikely to get all eight in. Yeah, yeah, interesting too.

2183
01:43:23,760 --> 01:43:25,320
Speaker 1: We asked him if we could do you know, as

2184
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:27,880
Speaker 1: in the preseason, everything's different, you know, the rules are relaxed.

2185
01:43:27,920 --> 01:43:30,400
Speaker 1: And we asked him if we could do player interviews

2186
01:43:31,479 --> 01:43:33,519
Speaker 1: on the sidelines during the game, the players that are

2187
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 1: out of the game, and he said, in not this No,

2188
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:39,040
Speaker 1: he said no, And then am I right? And he

2189
01:43:39,240 --> 01:43:42,720
Speaker 1: saying that he has reconsidered that. Yeah, that was I

2190
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:45,280
Speaker 1: don't I'm not privy to the details of the discussion.

2191
01:43:45,360 --> 01:43:48,599
Speaker 1: After the Sean has changed his mind, and we will

2192
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,200
Speaker 1: have expecting to have at least interviews with players in

2193
01:43:51,240 --> 01:43:52,920
Speaker 1: the second half. So you know what you said, it's

2194
01:43:52,960 --> 01:43:55,200
Speaker 1: it's more relaxed, I think Sean. You know, initially he

2195
01:43:55,280 --> 01:43:57,720
Speaker 1: thought interview my players during the game. Heck, no, there's

2196
01:43:57,720 --> 01:43:59,600
Speaker 1: not a chance of that happening. But then you know,

2197
01:44:00,240 --> 01:44:01,920
Speaker 1: coaches have so many other things to worry about. It

2198
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:03,680
Speaker 1: than you know who we're going to interview on his

2199
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:05,720
Speaker 1: teams during the game that I'm sure once he was

2200
01:44:05,720 --> 01:44:07,680
Speaker 1: talked about to him. He's a sensible guy and we

2201
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:10,200
Speaker 1: certainly appreciate the leniency there. Of course, now that Steve

2202
01:44:10,240 --> 01:44:12,080
Speaker 1: has brought it up, he might change his mind again

2203
01:44:12,120 --> 01:44:14,960
Speaker 1: and say, no way, Steve, just don't don't chance anything. Murph,

2204
01:44:15,000 --> 01:44:18,240
Speaker 1: come on, now you're glaring at me. Yeah, you know,

2205
01:44:18,360 --> 01:44:21,479
Speaker 1: he might, But now that I think about it, that's

2206
01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:24,360
Speaker 1: probably a bad idea. Yeah, but it is kind of

2207
01:44:24,560 --> 01:44:26,719
Speaker 1: because we do have conversations about None of this stuff

2208
01:44:26,800 --> 01:44:28,519
Speaker 1: is set in stone, and the head coach can say

2209
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,800
Speaker 1: a lot he has a lot of sway over not

2210
01:44:30,920 --> 01:44:33,639
Speaker 1: only this broadcast with the preseason because it's a bill's broadcast,

2211
01:44:33,680 --> 01:44:37,799
Speaker 1: but also during the regular season. Our networks, we're always asking,

2212
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:39,920
Speaker 1: you know, you kind of always go in asking for

2213
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:43,160
Speaker 1: more than you think you're gonna get, and he and

2214
01:44:43,439 --> 01:44:45,960
Speaker 1: it's rare that they kind of change their mind. Is

2215
01:44:46,040 --> 01:44:48,600
Speaker 1: the sideline reporter tonight, see if you agree with this,

2216
01:44:48,680 --> 01:44:51,799
Speaker 1: and Steve if you can as well. The sideline reporters

2217
01:44:51,880 --> 01:44:53,880
Speaker 1: had much more value in preseason, I think than in

2218
01:44:53,920 --> 01:44:57,519
Speaker 1: the regular season. The plays each individual play not quite

2219
01:44:57,600 --> 01:45:01,160
Speaker 1: as fraught with importance. You know, I mean that it's preseason.

2220
01:45:01,240 --> 01:45:03,800
Speaker 1: We all know that there's time to expand on thoughts

2221
01:45:03,840 --> 01:45:05,679
Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe do is we were just talking

2222
01:45:05,720 --> 01:45:09,120
Speaker 1: about interviews with players. It's a much more relaxed atmosphere.

2223
01:45:09,160 --> 01:45:10,760
Speaker 1: You know, it's almost like doing a baseball game. You

2224
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:12,960
Speaker 1: can you can tell stories, you don't have to worry

2225
01:45:12,960 --> 01:45:15,920
Speaker 1: about can't miss his next play, Well you could miss

2226
01:45:15,960 --> 01:45:18,080
Speaker 1: the next play. Maybe nothing will happen in a preseason game.

2227
01:45:18,080 --> 01:45:20,800
Speaker 1: What do you think? Yeah? Absolutely, I mean this is

2228
01:45:21,080 --> 01:45:23,160
Speaker 1: a situation where the win and the loss doesn't matter.

2229
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:24,720
Speaker 1: You know. This is the other part of it, too,

2230
01:45:24,880 --> 01:45:27,200
Speaker 1: is a preseason game is kind of like a practice.

2231
01:45:27,320 --> 01:45:30,200
Speaker 1: There's no scoreboard, but how did the team look? And

2232
01:45:30,400 --> 01:45:32,920
Speaker 1: to answer that you need to ask multiple questions and

2233
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:35,519
Speaker 1: have discussions. It's not just looking up at the scoreboard,

2234
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,680
Speaker 1: looking at the stat sheet. So you know that's that's

2235
01:45:37,720 --> 01:45:39,280
Speaker 1: part of the reason why there's you know a lot

2236
01:45:39,360 --> 01:45:42,920
Speaker 1: more discussion and stuff like that, because that's the important

2237
01:45:42,960 --> 01:45:45,679
Speaker 1: thing that comes out of these games, not who won alas. Yeah,

2238
01:45:45,680 --> 01:45:48,040
Speaker 1: I always make you know, you always say, we listen,

2239
01:45:48,120 --> 01:45:50,479
Speaker 1: we're here, we talk football and talk sports. You know,

2240
01:45:50,600 --> 01:45:52,080
Speaker 1: for a living, all of us, and we cover it.

2241
01:45:52,400 --> 01:45:54,760
Speaker 1: It's not like we're breaking rocks with a hammer until

2242
01:45:54,800 --> 01:45:57,680
Speaker 1: you get to the fourth quarter of a preseason football game,

2243
01:45:57,720 --> 01:45:59,599
Speaker 1: and then you wish you were on a chain gang

2244
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:03,400
Speaker 1: because it's rough. I got you to night, Steve. But

2245
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:05,360
Speaker 1: we're gonna take care of this. We got this come

2246
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:06,960
Speaker 1: good because I'm gonna be I'm gonna be eating a

2247
01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,320
Speaker 1: hot dog up there midway through the fourth Every year,

2248
01:46:10,400 --> 01:46:13,040
Speaker 1: in the fourth preseason game, typically there comes a point

2249
01:46:13,080 --> 01:46:15,160
Speaker 1: in the second half when on the radio side, we'll

2250
01:46:15,200 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 1: be in commercial break and I look at Kelso and

2251
01:46:17,520 --> 01:46:19,840
Speaker 1: talk to Sal and I'll say, this is why they

2252
01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,840
Speaker 1: pay us to do where I'm good on September nine,

2253
01:46:22,880 --> 01:46:25,000
Speaker 1: September sixteenth foot right now is why they pay us

2254
01:46:25,040 --> 01:46:26,880
Speaker 1: to do these games. It gets a little brutal. Well

2255
01:46:27,000 --> 01:46:30,120
Speaker 1: enough about inside baseball, inside broadcasting stuff. That give me

2256
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:34,000
Speaker 1: a player or two that you think could explode onto

2257
01:46:34,080 --> 01:46:36,080
Speaker 1: the scene tonight from the Bill's roster. You've been at

2258
01:46:36,120 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: the camp virtually every day. Who's caught your eye? And

2259
01:46:38,880 --> 01:46:41,559
Speaker 1: who do you think is h is ready to shine

2260
01:46:41,600 --> 01:46:45,120
Speaker 1: in the in the spotlight, the preseason spotlight tonight. I

2261
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:46,880
Speaker 1: think I think tremade. Emmond is a guy and we've

2262
01:46:46,880 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 1: talked about him already, but I've watched him in practice

2263
01:46:49,400 --> 01:46:52,000
Speaker 1: and although he's made place, he's looked just a touch tentative,

2264
01:46:52,120 --> 01:46:54,080
Speaker 1: not a bad way, just look a guy who's feeling

2265
01:46:54,160 --> 01:46:56,120
Speaker 1: things out. And I want to see him, you know,

2266
01:46:56,240 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 1: be able to let loose a little bit and see

2267
01:46:57,880 --> 01:47:01,080
Speaker 1: what he can do. Um. You know, I receiver wise,

2268
01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,240
Speaker 1: you know, I'm one of the few that's kind of

2269
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:05,800
Speaker 1: like what Robert Foster has done. You know, he hasn't

2270
01:47:05,880 --> 01:47:07,560
Speaker 1: made a whole lot of place, but I like what

2271
01:47:07,680 --> 01:47:09,720
Speaker 1: he does get in separation down the field, and I

2272
01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:11,560
Speaker 1: want to see if maybe when the lights come on,

2273
01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,800
Speaker 1: maybe he can turn that on a little bit. So

2274
01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:15,599
Speaker 1: those are two of the guys I'll be looking at.

2275
01:47:15,680 --> 01:47:17,759
Speaker 1: But one of the things that that we've discussed the practice,

2276
01:47:17,800 --> 01:47:19,639
Speaker 1: or at least I've discussed it with a bunch of media.

2277
01:47:19,920 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: You know, this Bill's team for the most part has

2278
01:47:22,080 --> 01:47:24,519
Speaker 1: been what you would expect. Players that we thought would

2279
01:47:24,560 --> 01:47:26,559
Speaker 1: be good have been good. You know, Josh Allen's been

2280
01:47:26,560 --> 01:47:29,080
Speaker 1: a little bit better than expected, but there hasn't been

2281
01:47:29,240 --> 01:47:32,599
Speaker 1: really a blow you away surprise player in this camp.

2282
01:47:32,720 --> 01:47:35,320
Speaker 1: So far and maybe it'll take you know, a preseason

2283
01:47:35,360 --> 01:47:37,240
Speaker 1: game tonight or next Friday to get that going. Well.

2284
01:47:37,240 --> 01:47:39,120
Speaker 1: We said it earlier in the show, Sean McDermott told

2285
01:47:39,200 --> 01:47:41,400
Speaker 1: us that these games matter a lot. They want to

2286
01:47:41,400 --> 01:47:44,080
Speaker 1: see these guys because and we've all seen it. It's

2287
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:47,360
Speaker 1: hard to explain, you know, it's hard to articulate. Sometimes

2288
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:49,080
Speaker 1: you really do have to see it to understand it.

2289
01:47:49,160 --> 01:47:51,559
Speaker 1: But when the lights come on and it's a real

2290
01:47:51,680 --> 01:47:54,920
Speaker 1: live game action, some of these players thrive in that

2291
01:47:55,400 --> 01:47:58,320
Speaker 1: they play differently than they practice. They're better in the

2292
01:47:58,439 --> 01:48:00,439
Speaker 1: huddle and on the field in a game than they

2293
01:48:00,479 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: are in practice. And it's not only just the guys

2294
01:48:03,240 --> 01:48:05,320
Speaker 1: that you see, like the wide receivers and running backs

2295
01:48:05,360 --> 01:48:08,800
Speaker 1: and all these guys. Sometimes it's guards and tackles who

2296
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:11,040
Speaker 1: rise up and play better and they turn it up

2297
01:48:11,040 --> 01:48:12,840
Speaker 1: a notch. And you know, for a lot of those

2298
01:48:12,920 --> 01:48:15,760
Speaker 1: guys down to the inside on defensive line, offensive line,

2299
01:48:15,800 --> 01:48:18,479
Speaker 1: even linebackers. Sometimes you know, you really kind of have

2300
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:21,000
Speaker 1: to be a coach and have a have an All

2301
01:48:21,080 --> 01:48:23,960
Speaker 1: twenty two video clicker where you can go back and

2302
01:48:24,040 --> 01:48:26,040
Speaker 1: rewind and you know what the guy's supposed to be doing,

2303
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:28,120
Speaker 1: and you see him every day and all of a

2304
01:48:28,120 --> 01:48:30,479
Speaker 1: sudden like wow, I've never seen this guy play like this.

2305
01:48:31,040 --> 01:48:35,040
Speaker 1: That happens all over the rosters and tonight fans a

2306
01:48:35,080 --> 01:48:36,920
Speaker 1: lot of times can see it as well as as

2307
01:48:37,040 --> 01:48:40,439
Speaker 1: the coaches can. Not always but sometimes, and it's fun

2308
01:48:40,479 --> 01:48:42,840
Speaker 1: to get a look at those guys who surprise you.

2309
01:48:42,960 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: And I think that's the fun of the preseason. I

2310
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:47,400
Speaker 1: think to play out of that too. You look at

2311
01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:49,519
Speaker 1: two guys from last year, you know, Brandon Riley and

2312
01:48:49,600 --> 01:48:52,080
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman were two guys that I really think didn't

2313
01:48:52,160 --> 01:48:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, turn any heads in practice, But once you

2314
01:48:54,479 --> 01:48:56,880
Speaker 1: got to those preseason games, everybody was talking about him,

2315
01:48:56,920 --> 01:48:59,000
Speaker 1: and you know that happens every year. You get a

2316
01:48:59,040 --> 01:49:01,479
Speaker 1: guy that, just like you said, Steve, when the lights

2317
01:49:01,560 --> 01:49:03,959
Speaker 1: go on and then there's a huddle and referees and uniforms,

2318
01:49:04,200 --> 01:49:07,720
Speaker 1: it's different and you can win jobs that way. He said,

2319
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,160
Speaker 1: As you came up through the ranks at WROC, in

2320
01:49:11,280 --> 01:49:14,280
Speaker 1: my memory served you were a sideline photographer for a

2321
01:49:14,320 --> 01:49:16,200
Speaker 1: lot of Buffalo Bills games. Right, You've been down there,

2322
01:49:16,240 --> 01:49:18,800
Speaker 1: You've watched games from that angle. It's it's a different look,

2323
01:49:18,880 --> 01:49:21,400
Speaker 1: as you know, but it's um first of all, you

2324
01:49:21,439 --> 01:49:23,080
Speaker 1: gotta be on your toes and not to get run over.

2325
01:49:23,160 --> 01:49:25,160
Speaker 1: But it's a great way to watch a game and

2326
01:49:25,280 --> 01:49:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe a perspective that a lot of people don't get.

2327
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:30,479
Speaker 1: You'll get that tonight, Yeah, And it'll be nice tonight

2328
01:49:30,479 --> 01:49:31,880
Speaker 1: to be able to watch it with both eye and

2329
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:33,840
Speaker 1: not one through a camera lensine. Yeah, you know, it's

2330
01:49:33,840 --> 01:49:36,040
Speaker 1: a little different, but yeah, I've done probably I don't know,

2331
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:38,360
Speaker 1: a one hundred hundred or so between home and away games,

2332
01:49:38,400 --> 01:49:41,800
Speaker 1: and the only time I've ever counter with a player,

2333
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:45,240
Speaker 1: Peerless Price kind of tap me on a touchdown knocked

2334
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:47,519
Speaker 1: me over. And so I've been pretty fortunate in nineteen

2335
01:49:47,560 --> 01:49:51,479
Speaker 1: eighteen years to not have anything serious happened. But it's

2336
01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:53,920
Speaker 1: one of those things that even my first year of

2337
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,920
Speaker 1: doing it, during every game, I'll take a moment during

2338
01:49:56,920 --> 01:49:59,679
Speaker 1: a time out and look around at the sixty seventy

2339
01:49:59,720 --> 01:50:02,519
Speaker 1: eighties of people in the stands and realize how fortunate

2340
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:04,040
Speaker 1: I am to be down there, because every one of

2341
01:50:04,040 --> 01:50:06,639
Speaker 1: those people will probably give their left arm to exchange

2342
01:50:06,680 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: perspectives with me. And it's, just like you said, a

2343
01:50:09,479 --> 01:50:12,439
Speaker 1: unique view, of special view. And I appreciate it every night,

2344
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:14,599
Speaker 1: and I'm sure at some point tonight. I mean between

2345
01:50:14,640 --> 01:50:16,360
Speaker 1: me picking up for Steve and the fourth quarter, I'll

2346
01:50:16,360 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: be doing that again. Yeah, you're right, and I tell

2347
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:21,040
Speaker 1: people that as well. I do the sideline game. I've

2348
01:50:21,040 --> 01:50:22,640
Speaker 1: been in the booth, which is a great seat, and

2349
01:50:22,680 --> 01:50:24,920
Speaker 1: people think, wow, being in the broadcast booth is awesome,

2350
01:50:24,960 --> 01:50:26,840
Speaker 1: and it is. It's great. It's a great view of

2351
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:29,000
Speaker 1: the stadium. But I'll tell you what I tell people,

2352
01:50:29,720 --> 01:50:31,479
Speaker 1: if you ever get a chance to watch an NFL

2353
01:50:31,560 --> 01:50:34,639
Speaker 1: game on the sidelines, don't take it because you'll you'll

2354
01:50:34,760 --> 01:50:37,200
Speaker 1: never want to watch a game anywhere else. Everything is

2355
01:50:37,200 --> 01:50:39,760
Speaker 1: a step back from being right there on the sidelines.

2356
01:50:39,960 --> 01:50:44,840
Speaker 1: It is. It is like it's like watching it's like

2357
01:50:45,000 --> 01:50:47,519
Speaker 1: being inside the car wreck. Man. I mean, it's you

2358
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:50,479
Speaker 1: can't take your eyes off it, and it changes you

2359
01:50:51,360 --> 01:50:53,880
Speaker 1: your perspective on how big and how fast those guys are.

2360
01:50:53,960 --> 01:50:56,680
Speaker 1: It's it's pretty startling. I'd see, how many games have

2361
01:50:56,760 --> 01:51:02,120
Speaker 1: you been the sideline reporter? Several? Well, I'm more than that.

2362
01:51:02,160 --> 01:51:04,120
Speaker 1: I guess a couple of dozen. Oh more than that,

2363
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,880
Speaker 1: I guess. Well, I'm doing seventeen of them this year,

2364
01:51:07,960 --> 01:51:10,320
Speaker 1: so there you go. Yeah, but I've been in the

2365
01:51:10,360 --> 01:51:11,800
Speaker 1: booth a lot for a lot more. I've been in

2366
01:51:11,800 --> 01:51:14,080
Speaker 1: the booth for a couple of hundred. Yeah, uh and yeah,

2367
01:51:14,160 --> 01:51:18,040
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's different. It's it's it's more exciting and

2368
01:51:18,120 --> 01:51:21,120
Speaker 1: more startling down on the sidelines. Fan had fun with

2369
01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:24,439
Speaker 1: it tonight. We're excited for you. Can't can't wait to

2370
01:51:24,520 --> 01:51:26,439
Speaker 1: watch the broadcast. I'll watch it on tayl I'll probably

2371
01:51:26,479 --> 01:51:28,320
Speaker 1: come home tonight and start watching the first half tonight

2372
01:51:28,360 --> 01:51:31,880
Speaker 1: before I fall asleep. I appreciate it. We're looking forward

2373
01:51:31,920 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 1: to myself a lot, that's for sure. Thanks for joining us,

2374
01:51:34,760 --> 01:51:36,600
Speaker 1: no problem, I pleasure guys see a little bit Ed

2375
01:51:36,640 --> 01:51:39,880
Speaker 1: Brown is the sidelined reporter for tonight's preseason telecast on

2376
01:51:39,920 --> 01:51:43,320
Speaker 1: the Bills Radio Network. Sports director at w ro OCTV

2377
01:51:43,479 --> 01:51:46,360
Speaker 1: and Rochester nineteen years covering the Bills. He's got to

2378
01:51:46,360 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: be excited. I'm excited. I've done this for years and

2379
01:51:48,520 --> 01:51:50,760
Speaker 1: I'm excited. It's alway, if starting a new season is

2380
01:51:50,760 --> 01:51:52,720
Speaker 1: always great, I mean it's you know, you kind of

2381
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,000
Speaker 1: you're kind of thirsty for it. You know that there's that,

2382
01:51:56,160 --> 01:51:58,840
Speaker 1: and then there's you know then this year, I mean

2383
01:51:58,920 --> 01:52:02,920
Speaker 1: it's it's been a really exciting offseason. Yeah, and there's

2384
01:52:02,920 --> 01:52:04,600
Speaker 1: a million question. Despite the fact that we had this

2385
01:52:04,720 --> 01:52:08,400
Speaker 1: radio show, we're looking for things to talk about. The draft,

2386
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:11,920
Speaker 1: the combine, the free agency moves, the fact that they

2387
01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 1: overachieved last year and sweeping that momentum into this year. Wow,

2388
01:52:16,160 --> 01:52:17,920
Speaker 1: it's you know, there's a lot to talk about, a

2389
01:52:17,960 --> 01:52:20,120
Speaker 1: lot to look forward to, and a lot to evaluate.

2390
01:52:20,360 --> 01:52:24,040
Speaker 1: I spent some time last night getting ready for tonight's broadcast,

2391
01:52:24,120 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 1: and there's Kelso and I do about fifteen twenty minutes

2392
01:52:27,160 --> 01:52:31,280
Speaker 1: of pre kickoff discussion. And usually it's about the issues

2393
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:33,559
Speaker 1: around the team. Regular season, that's easy, you know, win

2394
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 1: or lose. Preseason, you know, a lot of it's about

2395
01:52:36,400 --> 01:52:39,080
Speaker 1: roster moves. But so I sat down to night to

2396
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,080
Speaker 1: make some notes and it just flowed. I mean there

2397
01:52:41,200 --> 01:52:43,240
Speaker 1: was I have no problem coming up with issues and

2398
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:45,560
Speaker 1: stuff to talk about, because this team is in a

2399
01:52:45,720 --> 01:52:48,200
Speaker 1: very interesting spot. Not saying they're a great team, but

2400
01:52:48,280 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 1: they're in a very interesting spot. Playoff birth last year

2401
01:52:51,479 --> 01:52:53,600
Speaker 1: and nine wins last year. Can they get close to

2402
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: that again or do that again? Oh, by the way,

2403
01:52:55,520 --> 01:52:58,040
Speaker 1: they've changed quarterbacks, they bolsted their defense, and they got

2404
01:52:58,080 --> 01:53:01,200
Speaker 1: a brand new offensive coordinator. Start with that. That's twenty

2405
01:53:01,240 --> 01:53:03,040
Speaker 1: minutes of conversation right there. You know what I mean,

2406
01:53:03,160 --> 01:53:05,599
Speaker 1: there's a ton there's a ton to that will tell

2407
01:53:05,640 --> 01:53:07,519
Speaker 1: you that there's every reason to believe that this team

2408
01:53:07,640 --> 01:53:09,560
Speaker 1: is gonna be awesome. I mean, they may take a

2409
01:53:09,760 --> 01:53:12,640
Speaker 1: huge leap forward, and there's every reason to believe that

2410
01:53:12,760 --> 01:53:15,479
Speaker 1: it's gonna be probably not. You know, they're gonna take

2411
01:53:15,479 --> 01:53:18,439
Speaker 1: a step back. You talk of people around the country, nobody,

2412
01:53:18,680 --> 01:53:21,040
Speaker 1: nobody believes this team is gonna be a ten win season,

2413
01:53:21,200 --> 01:53:23,680
Speaker 1: a ten win team. In fact, a lot of them

2414
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:27,200
Speaker 1: things are gonna be less than six worse than yeah,

2415
01:53:27,360 --> 01:53:30,080
Speaker 1: three wins. So there's both sides of that coin. And

2416
01:53:30,200 --> 01:53:33,599
Speaker 1: you and I walk and certainly, you know, our job

2417
01:53:33,640 --> 01:53:35,479
Speaker 1: has become a lot easier when the team wins and

2418
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,760
Speaker 1: wins and wins. But you know, I see a lot

2419
01:53:38,840 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: of things that are much brighter than we did a

2420
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:44,639
Speaker 1: year ago when they went to the playoffs. And that's

2421
01:53:44,720 --> 01:53:48,360
Speaker 1: why it's so easy to jump on board, uh and say, Wow,

2422
01:53:48,400 --> 01:53:50,200
Speaker 1: this is gonna be a pretty fun year. Let's hear

2423

Speaker 1: Bills tonight. When the game is over, what would you

2427
01:53:58,160 --> 01:54:00,400

01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:31,280
Speaker 1: could see in Tonight's game? That's been our Twitter poll today.

2457
01:55:31,320 --> 01:55:33,400
Speaker 1: We get good response from this, with a ton of

2458
01:55:33,520 --> 01:55:37,280
Speaker 1: responses um the best case scenario for the Buffalo Bills

2459
01:55:37,600 --> 01:55:40,960
Speaker 1: in tonight's game. Responder was on the phone lines right

2460
01:55:41,000 --> 01:55:43,280
Speaker 1: now on Twitter. We've got eleven hundred votes in what's

2461
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:45,640
Speaker 1: the best thing we can get out of tonight's Bills

2462
01:55:45,680 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: preseason game against the Panthers? Close race, as close as

2463
01:55:49,560 --> 01:55:51,840
Speaker 1: it comes. Thirty four percent of you say the best

2464
01:55:51,880 --> 01:55:54,480
Speaker 1: thing that could happen would be Josh Allen to establish

2465
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:57,840
Speaker 1: himself as a starter. Thirty three percent say the best

2466
01:55:57,880 --> 01:56:00,920
Speaker 1: thing that could happen would be that the offensive line

2467
01:56:01,280 --> 01:56:03,800
Speaker 1: will be okay, you come away with that oppression. Twenty

2468
01:56:03,880 --> 01:56:05,680
Speaker 1: eight percent say the best thing that you're gonna happen

2469
01:56:05,720 --> 01:56:09,280
Speaker 1: tonight is Tremaine Edmonds demonstrating why he is a stunt.

2470
01:56:11,440 --> 01:56:14,800
Speaker 1: That's our producer, Jay Harris, not an effective linebacker, but

2471
01:56:14,920 --> 01:56:17,840
Speaker 1: a stunt. And five percent have something else in mind.

2472
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:20,040
Speaker 1: Give us a call to discuss eight oh three five

2473
01:56:20,120 --> 01:56:23,600
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight by fifty two

2474
01:56:23,720 --> 01:56:26,720
Speaker 1: five fifty a call from brand or Brent rather in

2475
01:56:26,840 --> 01:56:30,200
Speaker 1: cheek Dowager. Go ahead, Brent, you're on the air. Yeah, Hi,

2476
01:56:30,400 --> 01:56:34,440
Speaker 1: I was just wondering, uh, based on the schedule that

2477
01:56:34,560 --> 01:56:37,520
Speaker 1: they have and they play some difficult teams, if that's

2478
01:56:37,560 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 1: where some of the projections are for the Bills not

2479
01:56:39,880 --> 01:56:42,600
Speaker 1: to have such a good season in terms of wins

2480
01:56:42,640 --> 01:56:46,640
Speaker 1: and losses, not necessarily performing. I'm sure that's part of it. Yeah,

2481
01:56:46,880 --> 01:56:49,600
Speaker 1: you know what happens to the other part? Interrupt you're

2482
01:56:49,600 --> 01:56:51,240
Speaker 1: not listening to me. Go ahead, I am your point.

2483
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:53,680
Speaker 1: Go ahead. It's all the changes that have been made

2484
01:56:53,720 --> 01:56:56,560
Speaker 1: on this roster, and they I think a lot of

2485
01:56:56,600 --> 01:57:00,120
Speaker 1: people take it for granted that those changes are for

2486
01:57:00,200 --> 01:57:02,960
Speaker 1: the worst instead of the better and or for push

2487
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:06,160
Speaker 1: plus the quarterback question is an enormous issue for a

2488
01:57:06,240 --> 01:57:10,240
Speaker 1: lot of people outside having known that this was a

2489
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:14,120
Speaker 1: playoff team a year ago. They give the quarterback position

2490
01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,240
Speaker 1: of that team last year a lot of credit, and

2491
01:57:16,320 --> 01:57:18,880
Speaker 1: you do, he does, and Tyrod Taylor did deserve some

2492
01:57:18,960 --> 01:57:21,200
Speaker 1: of the credit for that. But they were thirty first

2493
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:23,840
Speaker 1: in passing for a reason. And the thing that they

2494
01:57:23,920 --> 01:57:26,280
Speaker 1: did was they ran the ball pretty well and they

2495
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:29,080
Speaker 1: didn't turn it over and they played good defense. And

2496
01:57:29,200 --> 01:57:31,360
Speaker 1: that'll go a long way toward proving what they should

2497
01:57:31,400 --> 01:57:34,920
Speaker 1: do this year with the quarterbacks they have that and

2498
01:57:35,080 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: I think all three of the guys they have will

2499
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: be able to throw the football better than they did

2500
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:42,600
Speaker 1: a year ago. But it's gonna mean they're gonna turn

2501
01:57:42,640 --> 01:57:44,360
Speaker 1: it over a little bit more too. So we're gonna

2502
01:57:44,400 --> 01:57:47,280
Speaker 1: see how where that shakes out, how that's gonna translate

2503
01:57:47,320 --> 01:57:49,440
Speaker 1: into wins and losses. But that's that you're right. The

2504
01:57:49,600 --> 01:57:52,640
Speaker 1: schedule and plus all the changes to the roster at

2505
01:57:52,720 --> 01:57:55,200
Speaker 1: key positions, is going to be a big reason why

2506
01:57:55,240 --> 01:57:58,040
Speaker 1: they don't give the Bills more credit for future wins.

2507
01:57:58,480 --> 01:58:00,920
Speaker 1: The last several let me ask you this Steve Tasks

2508
01:58:01,400 --> 01:58:03,800
Speaker 1: and the caller. If you're still on the line, if

2509
01:58:03,840 --> 01:58:06,160
Speaker 1: I were to ask you how tough is the Bill's

2510
01:58:06,160 --> 01:58:08,400
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen schedule, what would you say? If you were

2511
01:58:08,520 --> 01:58:11,640
Speaker 1: ranking strength of schedule based on last year's records, what

2512
01:58:11,720 --> 01:58:16,160
Speaker 1: would you say. I'd say this top five, top five toughest.

2513
01:58:16,680 --> 01:58:19,680
Speaker 1: I would say, you know what it is? What eighteenth? Really?

2514
01:58:19,720 --> 01:58:22,520
Speaker 1: Eighteenth toughest from this year for the six years schedule

2515
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:25,480
Speaker 1: to this year, eighteenth toughest their opponents one hundred twenty

2516
01:58:25,520 --> 01:58:29,440
Speaker 1: seven wins, one hundred twenty nine losses. That's this year's schedule.

2517
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:31,920
Speaker 1: This year's schedule. Okay, see eighteenth. So they're in the

2518
01:58:32,000 --> 01:58:34,760
Speaker 1: bottom half of the league. Here's my point, though, strength

2519
01:58:34,800 --> 01:58:39,160
Speaker 1: of schedule based on last year's numbers, it's meaningless. It's so.

2520
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:41,320
Speaker 1: And I've said this over the last few years hundreds

2521
01:58:41,320 --> 01:58:43,160
Speaker 1: of times on this show, so I don't like to

2522
01:58:43,240 --> 01:58:45,680
Speaker 1: repeat it, but I will. It's a week to week league.

2523
01:58:46,200 --> 01:58:48,720
Speaker 1: Each week, your opponent is different than they were the

2524
01:58:48,800 --> 01:58:52,200
Speaker 1: week before, two weeks earlier, much different than they were

2525
01:58:52,240 --> 01:58:54,240
Speaker 1: a year ago. So to look at the schedule now

2526
01:58:54,560 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 1: and we'll look at it. To look at the bill

2527
01:58:56,280 --> 01:59:00,560
Speaker 1: schedule now in August and say what a brutal schedule

2528
01:59:00,800 --> 01:59:02,840
Speaker 1: looking out tough to bill schedule is. How are they

2529
01:59:02,880 --> 01:59:05,080
Speaker 1: going to handle this? That's why teams people think they

2530
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 1: might only win three games. To look at the Buffalo

2531
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:09,960
Speaker 1: Bill schedule now and try to project what it's going

2532
01:59:10,000 --> 01:59:14,000
Speaker 1: to look like in December is a fool's errand it's

2533
01:59:14,080 --> 01:59:17,040
Speaker 1: it's it's foolish. It doesn't mean anything. You don't know

2534
01:59:17,160 --> 01:59:18,760
Speaker 1: how your team's gonna be playing. You don't know how

2535
01:59:18,760 --> 01:59:20,800
Speaker 1: your opponents are gonna be playing. How do we know

2536
01:59:20,920 --> 01:59:22,520
Speaker 1: what the Detroit Lions are going to be all about

2537
01:59:22,520 --> 01:59:25,320
Speaker 1: when they come here on December sixteenth? You know what

2538
01:59:25,400 --> 01:59:28,920
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I exact Jacksonville, good good record last year,

2539
01:59:28,960 --> 01:59:30,840
Speaker 1: a good team. How do we know what their team's

2540
01:59:30,840 --> 01:59:35,240
Speaker 1: gonna be like November twenty fifth, Thanksgiving time, Chicago, November fourth,

2541
01:59:35,960 --> 01:59:37,680
Speaker 1: just a little bit past midway. They're gonna be a

2542
01:59:37,720 --> 01:59:39,920
Speaker 1: lot different than they were last year. So I think

2543
01:59:40,200 --> 01:59:43,000
Speaker 1: you know, to get caught up in strength of schedule.

2544
01:59:43,080 --> 01:59:45,880
Speaker 1: While that's a tough schedule, it's week to week. It

2545
01:59:46,080 --> 01:59:49,560
Speaker 1: is essentially week to week. It's it's all about how

2546
01:59:49,640 --> 01:59:51,840
Speaker 1: you're playing, how are your opponent's playing who's hurt, who's

2547
01:59:51,840 --> 01:59:54,160
Speaker 1: not hurt. That's what makes a schedule tough. Thank you

2548
01:59:54,240 --> 01:59:56,240
Speaker 1: for letting me say that, Steve. I'm glad you're looking

2549
01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:57,960
Speaker 1: at me like you know. I can tell you feel

2550
01:59:57,960 --> 02:00:00,560
Speaker 1: a lot better after getting that offer. I'm past about

2551
02:00:00,560 --> 02:00:03,000
Speaker 1: that because you're right. Eight People think, oh, the Bills

2552
02:00:03,000 --> 02:00:06,720
Speaker 1: got a tough schedule, Well, eighteenth toughest. Yeah, you go

2553
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,840
Speaker 1: down the easiest in the league. You know what's tough

2554
02:00:10,280 --> 02:00:12,720
Speaker 1: on paper the home and away set up. You know,

2555
02:00:12,840 --> 02:00:14,480
Speaker 1: five of the first seven away from home, three the

2556
02:00:14,520 --> 02:00:16,880
Speaker 1: first four away from home. That's the toughest part of

2557
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:18,640
Speaker 1: the schedule, and that because you don't know how these

2558
02:00:18,880 --> 02:00:21,120
Speaker 1: teams are going to be playing. Yeah, and here's the thing.

2559
02:00:21,240 --> 02:00:24,160
Speaker 1: Anytime you go down that rabbit hole, anytime you start

2560
02:00:24,200 --> 02:00:28,120
Speaker 1: trying to predict what's going to happen, and it's impossible

2561
02:00:28,160 --> 02:00:30,520
Speaker 1: to do that. But when you go down there, you

2562
02:00:30,600 --> 02:00:32,280
Speaker 1: could go down that rabbit hole all of a sudden,

2563
02:00:32,280 --> 02:00:34,120
Speaker 1: you end up trying to predict how good these teams

2564
02:00:34,160 --> 02:00:37,280
Speaker 1: based on past performance. And it's just it's an ever

2565
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:39,680
Speaker 1: changing league. And you're right, Murph's it is a week

2566
02:00:39,720 --> 02:00:43,320
Speaker 1: to week league, and that's why they make movies about

2567
02:00:43,320 --> 02:00:45,920
Speaker 1: any given Sunday, because anybody can get beat on any

2568
02:00:45,960 --> 02:00:48,320
Speaker 1: given Sunday, and it's you got to play it. That's

2569
02:00:48,680 --> 02:00:51,240
Speaker 1: there wasn't There wasn't three people on the planet outside

2570
02:00:51,240 --> 02:00:52,600
Speaker 1: the locker room of the Bills that gave them a

2571
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:56,000
Speaker 1: chance of beating Tampa Bay, Atlanta and Kansas City, particularly

2572
02:00:56,080 --> 02:00:57,880
Speaker 1: Kansas City on the road. I was one of them.

2573
02:00:58,440 --> 02:01:00,360
Speaker 1: Nobody goes in there and wins, and the Bill winning

2574
02:01:00,360 --> 02:01:02,720
Speaker 1: there and win sixteen to ten after a three game

2575
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:06,600
Speaker 1: losing streak. They looked horrible for three weeks before that,

2576
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:09,680
Speaker 1: and they go in there and win. You can't predict

2577
02:01:10,200 --> 02:01:11,760
Speaker 1: what's the best thing to be. We can get out

2578
02:01:11,800 --> 02:01:14,720
Speaker 1: of tonight's preseason game for the Bills against Carolina. From

2579
02:01:14,800 --> 02:01:17,520
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Greg Butt of Oshan tonight, looking

2580
02:01:17,600 --> 02:01:20,520
Speaker 1: for several things. He writes On offense, do the ends

2581
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:24,680
Speaker 1: get separation? Do they incorporate quick slants? Pass protection and

2582
02:01:24,800 --> 02:01:28,520
Speaker 1: pocket stability? On defense? Sure tackling pressure the quarterback on

2583
02:01:28,640 --> 02:01:31,960
Speaker 1: both sides? Penalties? Are they playing discipline? That's a laundry

2584
02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:34,120
Speaker 1: list of stuff they got to do. For Greg, that's okay,

2585
02:01:34,480 --> 02:01:37,280
Speaker 1: you're a very demanding fan. That's a good, good list

2586
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:39,640
Speaker 1: of things that would be nice to see tonight pulling

2587
02:01:39,720 --> 02:01:42,160
Speaker 1: no punches there, laundry list, I get it. I picture

2588
02:01:42,240 --> 02:01:45,920
Speaker 1: him with a little little visor on, little sunglass visor

2589
02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:49,520
Speaker 1: and arm guards and his sleeves rolled up, with a

2590
02:01:49,560 --> 02:01:55,120
Speaker 1: little notepad taking notes. Hey, I bet Greg, I'll bet

2591
02:01:55,200 --> 02:01:59,000
Speaker 1: he'd plays fantasy football. Oh, yeah, you're probably right. You know,

2592
02:01:59,320 --> 02:02:03,160
Speaker 1: it's one of those detail guys. Yeah, he's right. I

2593
02:02:03,200 --> 02:02:04,960
Speaker 1: mean there's a lot. We're gonna get a look at

2594
02:02:05,000 --> 02:02:06,800
Speaker 1: all of it. We're gonna look at all of it.

2595
02:02:06,920 --> 02:02:09,080
Speaker 1: Or hey, by the way, are they wearing blue jerseys

2596
02:02:09,120 --> 02:02:12,560
Speaker 1: and white helmets tonight? Oh? I don't know why. I

2597
02:02:12,600 --> 02:02:14,520
Speaker 1: don't know. I just I'm just asking. I just I was.

2598
02:02:15,440 --> 02:02:17,360
Speaker 1: I hadn't thought about it because I always it's always.

2599
02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:21,000
Speaker 1: I love the uniforms. Man, they come out that looks great.

2600
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:23,760
Speaker 1: Are they gonna wear blues with white pants? Are they

2601
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:28,080
Speaker 1: gonna wear blue on blue? Are they gonna wear you know, throwbacks?

2602
02:02:28,440 --> 02:02:30,760
Speaker 1: What are they gonna do? Let me check you out.

2603
02:02:30,920 --> 02:02:34,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes the equipment people will tweet that out and tweet

2604
02:02:34,600 --> 02:02:38,720
Speaker 1: that out. Blue jerseys or I'm being told it's being

2605
02:02:38,760 --> 02:02:40,720
Speaker 1: blue jerseys not don't know what the pants are gonna

2606
02:02:40,720 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 1: be probably the white pants with the with the stripes,

2607
02:02:43,080 --> 02:02:46,360
Speaker 1: the classics. Yeah, it'll be good. It's gonna look great.

2608
02:02:46,360 --> 02:02:48,360
Speaker 1: I can't wait to see him out in the preseason.

2609
02:02:48,360 --> 02:02:50,440
Speaker 1: They'll come out and it'll be sunshiny and they'll, you know,

2610
02:02:50,520 --> 02:02:53,920
Speaker 1: they kind of jump out. Yeah, it'll be great. From

2611
02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:59,520
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet, also from Postman Pilot Postman Postman Pilot

2612
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:01,520
Speaker 1: has to be different, he says, I'd like to see

2613
02:03:01,600 --> 02:03:04,480
Speaker 1: us play smart. With so many rule book changes, I'd

2614
02:03:04,520 --> 02:03:06,440
Speaker 1: love to see that our players did their research, not

2615
02:03:06,520 --> 02:03:09,160
Speaker 1: lose our cool, and not beat ourselves. Nothing worse than

2616
02:03:09,240 --> 02:03:13,440
Speaker 1: seeing that almighty yellow flag fly high. Good point, and

2617
02:03:13,600 --> 02:03:16,920
Speaker 1: that's always been a characteristic of preseason games, all penalties

2618
02:03:17,040 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: early preseason. I do feel like, and again it was

2619
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:23,040
Speaker 1: all of our conversation with Sean McDermott yesterday. I feel

2620
02:03:23,080 --> 02:03:25,040
Speaker 1: as if he's got it under control. They had the

2621
02:03:25,080 --> 02:03:27,440
Speaker 1: officials here, we had him on our show last Friday,

2622
02:03:27,440 --> 02:03:29,920
Speaker 1: I believe it was Thursday from training camp. Good meetings,

2623
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:32,120
Speaker 1: you know, unlike the Eagles. Remember the Eagles came out

2624
02:03:32,160 --> 02:03:34,480
Speaker 1: of their meetings with the officials saying, well, we don't

2625
02:03:34,520 --> 02:03:37,440
Speaker 1: know anything. Now, we're more confused about the helmet hits.

2626
02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott told us yesterday that it was good, good dialogue, right,

2627
02:03:41,280 --> 02:03:43,280
Speaker 1: good back and forth. He was pretty happy with what

2628
02:03:43,440 --> 02:03:46,840
Speaker 1: they got out of that officiating group last week. And yeah,

2629
02:03:46,960 --> 02:03:52,520
Speaker 1: that's another one from James kraw Krawlovitz. Really looking forward

2630
02:03:52,520 --> 02:03:54,280
Speaker 1: to watching the depth on the team tonight. I think

2631
02:03:54,400 --> 02:03:57,240
Speaker 1: Rafael Bush is going to be a big contributor this season.

2632
02:03:57,280 --> 02:04:01,040
Speaker 1: I would agree Rafael He's gonna right, He's gonna have

2633
02:04:01,120 --> 02:04:02,680
Speaker 1: to be a big contributor. They're gonna have to find

2634
02:04:02,720 --> 02:04:04,080
Speaker 1: if they want him to play, They're gonna find a

2635
02:04:04,080 --> 02:04:06,200
Speaker 1: way to get him on. Maybe put three safeties on

2636
02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:08,280
Speaker 1: the field, because you're not taking Jordan Poi or Micah

2637
02:04:08,360 --> 02:04:12,440
Speaker 1: Hide off. But Rafael Bush has had a really good

2638
02:04:12,600 --> 02:04:16,800
Speaker 1: training camp and they are gonna need If you're gonna

2639
02:04:16,800 --> 02:04:20,080
Speaker 1: have three safeties, he's gonna be one of them, you know.

2640
02:04:20,160 --> 02:04:23,360
Speaker 1: And I think Raffiael Bush gonna make this team. I think,

2641
02:04:24,240 --> 02:04:28,440
Speaker 1: and and rightfully so. And also it gives you some

2642
02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:31,720
Speaker 1: idea that even if something, if the worst happens to

2643
02:04:31,840 --> 02:04:35,280
Speaker 1: Jordan or Micah Hide, Rafael Bush can play. He can

2644
02:04:35,400 --> 02:04:37,400
Speaker 1: really play, and there won't be as big a drop

2645
02:04:37,480 --> 02:04:40,080
Speaker 1: off if with some other some somebody else. And I

2646
02:04:40,240 --> 02:04:44,120
Speaker 1: agree with with James there that the depth is going

2647
02:04:44,160 --> 02:04:45,960
Speaker 1: to be crucial because it's gonna get tested at some

2648
02:04:46,040 --> 02:04:48,360
Speaker 1: point during the season. Hey, let's take a couple of

2649
02:04:48,400 --> 02:04:50,520
Speaker 1: minutes here for NFL true and false. It is brought

2650
02:04:50,560 --> 02:04:53,360
Speaker 1: to you by Yancy's Fancy New York's artists and Cheese.

2651
02:04:53,520 --> 02:04:55,280
Speaker 1: We haven't done true or false in a couple of days,

2652
02:04:55,320 --> 02:04:57,680
Speaker 1: and this particular item has been up here for a

2653
02:04:57,760 --> 02:05:00,240
Speaker 1: couple of days. And I don't like this, but we're

2654
02:05:00,240 --> 02:05:02,440
Speaker 1: gonna do it anyway. NFL true and false. I just

2655
02:05:02,480 --> 02:05:05,400
Speaker 1: don't like this. Whole premise is too true false. It's

2656
02:05:05,440 --> 02:05:08,000
Speaker 1: too much of a risk to have Carson Wentz play

2657
02:05:08,160 --> 02:05:12,280
Speaker 1: in the preseason true false. I say false. He's got

2658
02:05:12,400 --> 02:05:14,640
Speaker 1: to play. He's gotta come back. He gotta get him

2659
02:05:14,640 --> 02:05:16,120
Speaker 1: a little a couple of reps. He can play a

2660
02:05:16,160 --> 02:05:18,400
Speaker 1: little bit. That's false. It's not too much of a risk.

2661
02:05:18,800 --> 02:05:22,000
Speaker 1: He was hurt, he's better. I would play him, yeah, exactly.

2662
02:05:22,080 --> 02:05:24,680
Speaker 1: And if the medical people say yeah, he's clear to

2663
02:05:24,760 --> 02:05:26,800
Speaker 1: practice and do all, he's clear to play, it's it's

2664
02:05:26,840 --> 02:05:28,240
Speaker 1: not too much of a risk. You don't have to,

2665
02:05:28,960 --> 02:05:32,520
Speaker 1: you know, like you said, give him some reps. He

2666
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:37,160
Speaker 1: needs it. It's not I say, false. Okay, how about this?

2667
02:05:37,240 --> 02:05:39,920
Speaker 1: This came from a post on The Athletic about the

2668
02:05:40,040 --> 02:05:44,280
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys Dak Prescott is written by Bob Strump. Could

2669
02:05:44,360 --> 02:05:46,520
Speaker 1: there possibly be a player in the NFL with more

2670
02:05:46,560 --> 02:05:48,840
Speaker 1: on the line than Dak Prescott as a quarterback enters

2671
02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:51,760
Speaker 1: his third year. If there is such a player, then

2672
02:05:51,840 --> 02:05:53,880
Speaker 1: his identity is not quickly coming to my mind. The

2673
02:05:53,960 --> 02:05:59,720
Speaker 1: question Dak Prescott has the most at stake in twenty eighteen? True? False?

2674
02:06:00,200 --> 02:06:06,120
Speaker 1: Why does Dak Prescott exactly? Exactly? False? What? What is

2675
02:06:06,160 --> 02:06:08,440
Speaker 1: he got the just because they're the Cowboys? Why is

2676
02:06:08,560 --> 02:06:11,600
Speaker 1: America's team? Why he's a third year quarterback? What Derek

2677
02:06:11,680 --> 02:06:15,760
Speaker 1: Carr doesn't have more at Steak? Right? Russell Wilson, Right,

2678
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:21,320
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, man, it's contract Jamis Winston, He's

2679
02:06:21,360 --> 02:06:27,760
Speaker 1: got stuff at Steak? Yeah, Tom Brady, I mean that's

2680
02:06:27,800 --> 02:06:29,880
Speaker 1: why we haven't done NFL to false for a few days.

2681
02:06:30,280 --> 02:06:32,120
Speaker 1: I kind of like it. It gives a chance to

2682
02:06:32,160 --> 02:06:35,600
Speaker 1: take pot shots to other other media memories. Right, finally,

2683
02:06:36,160 --> 02:06:39,600
Speaker 1: um NFL to false. Todd Haley was right. He was

2684
02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:43,360
Speaker 1: correct to challenge Hugh Jackson. That happened apparently, right, and

2685
02:06:43,680 --> 02:06:47,480
Speaker 1: ye hard knock knocks. Yeah, it's always it's false. He's

2686
02:06:47,480 --> 02:06:49,200
Speaker 1: not right to do that. Todd Haley. What you call

2687
02:06:49,280 --> 02:06:52,800
Speaker 1: him a short fuse, Well, listen, that doesn't mean yeah,

2688
02:06:52,840 --> 02:06:56,480
Speaker 1: short fuse got he and come back. He's confrontational. Yeah

2689
02:06:56,760 --> 02:06:59,760
Speaker 1: that no, he's all right. That's what coordinators do. They

2690
02:06:59,840 --> 02:07:02,280
Speaker 1: go to challenge the head coach publicly on national TV.

2691
02:07:02,800 --> 02:07:05,360
Speaker 1: That's cool. Well, hey, he didn't ask for hard knocks

2692
02:07:05,400 --> 02:07:07,680
Speaker 1: to be there. He knows they're there. Well, listen, that

2693
02:07:07,760 --> 02:07:11,120
Speaker 1: doesn't change his job. The coordinators are there to bring

2694
02:07:11,240 --> 02:07:14,240
Speaker 1: the head coach. Listen, they gotta they can't all agree,

2695
02:07:14,400 --> 02:07:16,240
Speaker 1: and it's a good thing that they don't agree because

2696
02:07:16,320 --> 02:07:18,360
Speaker 1: you got to get different ideas in there, and if

2697
02:07:18,440 --> 02:07:20,680
Speaker 1: somebody's not happy, they gotta let it know. Yeah, that's

2698
02:07:20,720 --> 02:07:23,200
Speaker 1: what a staff meetings for is to challenge the opinion

2699
02:07:23,240 --> 02:07:24,880
Speaker 1: that's going out there, and you do it privately. Now,

2700
02:07:24,920 --> 02:07:27,280
Speaker 1: the fact that they made a public you can say

2701
02:07:27,360 --> 02:07:31,280
Speaker 1: what you want. But yeah, coordinators do that all the time. Yeah,

2702
02:07:31,560 --> 02:07:33,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of there's a lot of arguments in

2703
02:07:34,040 --> 02:07:36,480
Speaker 1: coaching meetings, but you gotta do them. You gotta have

2704
02:07:36,560 --> 02:07:38,000
Speaker 1: the meeting the way it's supposed to be run. If

2705
02:07:38,000 --> 02:07:40,400
Speaker 1: they're going to publicize it, that's not your fault. You

2706
02:07:40,480 --> 02:07:42,600
Speaker 1: got to do your job and if it calls for you,

2707
02:07:42,680 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 1: and if you feel like you need to challenge the

2708
02:07:44,320 --> 02:07:47,040
Speaker 1: head coach, it's not the first time he's ever done it.

2709
02:07:47,400 --> 02:07:49,920
Speaker 1: I'm sure. If you're doing hard all right. You know

2710
02:07:50,000 --> 02:07:52,560
Speaker 1: what if you're if you're the hard knocks team, you

2711
02:07:52,680 --> 02:07:54,600
Speaker 1: got to have two sets of meetings, one for the

2712
02:07:54,720 --> 02:07:56,800
Speaker 1: cameras and the real meeting. Oh no, because then it

2713
02:07:57,080 --> 02:07:59,440
Speaker 1: would be out of control. You don't have time in

2714
02:07:59,520 --> 02:08:03,080
Speaker 1: the day. That's why teams don't want hard Knocks. Yeah,

2715
02:08:03,160 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and I get that, you're right, I get it. But

2716
02:08:05,960 --> 02:08:08,040
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have they're gonna be there. You can't

2717
02:08:08,120 --> 02:08:10,520
Speaker 1: change the way you do your job. That's the whole idea.

2718
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,080
Speaker 1: Are you saying true on this one? Saying true? He's

2719
02:08:13,080 --> 02:08:16,200
Speaker 1: all right? Okay, I think it's a mistake, all right.

2720
02:08:17,360 --> 02:08:19,520
Speaker 1: NFL True or False Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy

2721
02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:21,720
Speaker 1: New York's artist and Cheese got a few minutes left

2722
02:08:21,720 --> 02:08:24,120
Speaker 1: to talk about tonight's game? Do we do predictions on preseason?

2723
02:08:24,160 --> 02:08:27,800
Speaker 1: You want to do that. Your face tells me, no, no,

2724
02:08:28,480 --> 02:08:31,800
Speaker 1: what are you gonna predict the score of? Yeah? No,

2725
02:08:32,240 --> 02:08:35,400
Speaker 1: all right, we'll come back. No, I have no idea.

2726
02:08:35,560 --> 02:08:37,320
Speaker 1: We've been talking all day about what would be the

2727
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:39,480
Speaker 1: best case scenario for the Bills when we come back.

2728
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:42,360
Speaker 1: Let's just just not prediction. Would be one thing that

2729
02:08:42,480 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 1: you're pretty sure will happen tonight. We'll do that after

2730
02:08:45,440 --> 02:08:47,200
Speaker 1: the break. Steve and I back in a moment. One

2737
02:09:17,760 --> 02:09:21,320
Speaker 1: good guests here today, including the chefs who and Norm.

2738
02:09:21,400 --> 02:09:25,000
Speaker 1: They're famous. They're in the end zone, first u of

2739
02:09:25,040 --> 02:09:27,640
Speaker 1: the end zone every game. They have a tremendous tailgate

2740
02:09:27,680 --> 02:09:30,800
Speaker 1: party and they cooked their chefs before the game begins,

2741
02:09:31,040 --> 02:09:33,240
Speaker 1: and tonight they're going to be the leaders of the charge.

2742
02:09:33,360 --> 02:09:35,520
Speaker 1: The chefs Poo and Norm are gonna be down there

2743
02:09:35,640 --> 02:09:37,280
Speaker 1: leading the Bills onto the field. We talked to the

2744
02:09:37,360 --> 02:09:39,880
Speaker 1: chefs today, asked them how they became the chefs, How

2745
02:09:39,920 --> 02:09:44,040
Speaker 1: did this all start? Here's what they said. We had

2746
02:09:44,080 --> 02:09:48,840
Speaker 1: a small tailgate with just me and Norm, and each

2747
02:09:48,880 --> 02:09:50,960
Speaker 1: week it kind of grew and then so one day

2748
02:09:50,960 --> 02:09:53,280
Speaker 1: I just decided I was gonna go get some hats

2749
02:09:53,360 --> 02:09:55,240
Speaker 1: and have some funnel. We didn't get them painted, and

2750
02:09:55,320 --> 02:09:58,200
Speaker 1: we're wearing them for the tailgate, and so we did

2751
02:09:58,280 --> 02:10:03,240
Speaker 1: that and then a crowd. Yeah, small one, but I

2752
02:10:03,400 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: was kind of like, we're hats man to the game.

2753
02:10:05,280 --> 02:10:07,800
Speaker 1: What kind of talking about that? You know what? Some

2754
02:10:07,920 --> 02:10:10,720
Speaker 1: chef hats I said. Chef hats I said, oh man,

2755
02:10:10,720 --> 02:10:13,040
Speaker 1: we're gonna look silly, you know what? He was saying. No, yah,

2756
02:10:13,920 --> 02:10:16,440
Speaker 1: the game. Next thing, you know, everybody want to take

2757
02:10:16,440 --> 02:10:19,080
Speaker 1: our picture? Yeah, oh man. It was like, oh, nice hats.

2758
02:10:19,120 --> 02:10:23,320
Speaker 1: And from there it was just it took off. It

2759
02:10:23,440 --> 02:10:25,839
Speaker 1: took off, and they'll be up there on the platform

2760
02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:28,000
Speaker 1: tonight leading the charge to bring the Bills out out

2761
02:10:28,040 --> 02:10:30,600
Speaker 1: of the field of chefs Boo and Norm. Also today

2762
02:10:30,600 --> 02:10:33,200
Speaker 1: we had Ray Crockett on the show of the spourteen

2763
02:10:33,320 --> 02:10:36,160
Speaker 1: year NFL veteran played defensive back for a couple of

2764
02:10:36,240 --> 02:10:38,800
Speaker 1: different teams. He's on the radio now in Denver. Ray

2765
02:10:38,840 --> 02:10:42,920
Speaker 1: Crockett years ago came across young Corey Coleman, Bills receiver,

2766
02:10:43,680 --> 02:10:46,200
Speaker 1: at their home in the same town in Dallas, Texas.

2767
02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:49,320
Speaker 1: Ray Crockett sort of adopted Corey Coleman, and he talked

2768
02:10:49,360 --> 02:10:52,320
Speaker 1: to us today about why Coleman acquired by the Bills

2769
02:10:52,360 --> 02:10:54,320
Speaker 1: in that trade on Sunday night, why Coleman was just

2770
02:10:54,400 --> 02:10:58,840
Speaker 1: not a good bit for the Cleveland Browns. I knew

2771
02:10:58,880 --> 02:11:01,280
Speaker 1: Cleveland was gonna be just fit for him because of

2772
02:11:01,760 --> 02:11:03,640
Speaker 1: you know, because of where they were. I knew they

2773
02:11:03,680 --> 02:11:06,560
Speaker 1: weren't going to be good worth and foremost and and

2774
02:11:06,720 --> 02:11:09,160
Speaker 1: Corey is is a guy who wants to win. He's

2775
02:11:09,160 --> 02:11:11,440
Speaker 1: a guy who wants to play, you know, with winner,

2776
02:11:11,600 --> 02:11:15,600
Speaker 1: the guy that's that's accustomed to winning. So I knew

2777
02:11:15,600 --> 02:11:17,640
Speaker 1: it was going to be difficult just in that alone.

2778
02:11:17,880 --> 02:11:20,440
Speaker 1: But then once he broke his hand, then it really

2779
02:11:20,480 --> 02:11:23,080
Speaker 1: became tough because he hadn't because he's not an injury guy.

2780
02:11:24,160 --> 02:11:27,000
Speaker 1: Ray Crockhead has high hopes for Corey Coleman for the

2781
02:11:27,040 --> 02:11:30,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Coleman not likely to play in tonight's game

2782
02:11:30,760 --> 02:11:32,600
Speaker 1: because he just got here one practice with the team

2783
02:11:32,640 --> 02:11:35,600
Speaker 1: on Tuesday seven o'clock game tonight, John Murphy's Seve Tasker

2784
02:11:35,680 --> 02:11:37,720
Speaker 1: here and then remaining a few minutes of the show. Um,

2785
02:11:38,640 --> 02:11:40,680
Speaker 1: let's recheck the Twitter poll. Let's put that to bed.

2786
02:11:41,640 --> 02:11:45,160
Speaker 1: We started this at noon today, got a number of responses,

2787
02:11:45,200 --> 02:11:47,880
Speaker 1: and the question was what's the best case scenario for

2788
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:50,840
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills in tonight's game? Really got it was

2789
02:11:50,920 --> 02:11:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of evenly split from what folks think would be

2790
02:11:54,000 --> 02:11:55,600
Speaker 1: great for the Bills. The best thing we can get

2791
02:11:55,640 --> 02:11:59,200
Speaker 1: out of the Bills game tonight against Carolina Panthers. Thirty

2792
02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:02,080
Speaker 1: four percent of you on Twitter thought the best thing

2793
02:12:02,160 --> 02:12:04,440
Speaker 1: would be the realization that, hey, Josh Allen could be

2794
02:12:04,480 --> 02:12:07,280
Speaker 1: the starter. Thirty three percent of you say the best

2795
02:12:07,280 --> 02:12:09,200
Speaker 1: thing you'll be, Hey, the offensive line's gonna be all

2796
02:12:09,280 --> 02:12:12,600
Speaker 1: right even without Wooden incognito. Twenty eight percent of you

2797
02:12:12,800 --> 02:12:15,160
Speaker 1: responded by saying the best thing that we could get

2798
02:12:15,200 --> 02:12:17,800
Speaker 1: would be the realization that Tremine Edmonds first round pick

2799
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 1: shows that he's a stunt. We had twelve hundred votes,

2800
02:12:21,200 --> 02:12:24,560
Speaker 1: pretty evenly split. All Right, that's the best case scenario, Steve,

2801
02:12:25,000 --> 02:12:27,280
Speaker 1: what do you anticipate will happen. Then I give me

2802
02:12:27,360 --> 02:12:30,040
Speaker 1: one thing that you think will happen. I'll give you two. Okay.

2803
02:12:30,160 --> 02:12:32,880
Speaker 1: I think there's gonna be a point in this game

2804
02:12:32,960 --> 02:12:36,080
Speaker 1: where for almost every Bills fan it's gonna be a

2805
02:12:36,120 --> 02:12:40,480
Speaker 1: spot where they think this is our year. And there's

2806
02:12:40,480 --> 02:12:42,320
Speaker 1: also gonna be a point in this game for every

2807
02:12:42,360 --> 02:12:44,720
Speaker 1: Bills fan where they're gonna have doubts about this team

2808
02:12:44,840 --> 02:12:47,640
Speaker 1: being able to win games. Both those things are gonna happen.

2809
02:12:47,680 --> 02:12:49,320
Speaker 1: Are They're gonna be just like a young player trying

2810
02:12:49,360 --> 02:12:50,840
Speaker 1: to make the team. There's gonna be a point in

2811
02:12:50,880 --> 02:12:53,840
Speaker 1: this game where you're gonna think, yeah, baby, this is it.

2812
02:12:54,480 --> 02:12:56,440
Speaker 1: And there's gonna be a time when they think, oh

2813
02:12:56,560 --> 02:12:58,800
Speaker 1: my gosh, are you kidding me? Both those things are

2814
02:12:58,840 --> 02:13:01,840
Speaker 1: gonna happen. I got I guess just one thing, and

2815
02:13:01,960 --> 02:13:05,520
Speaker 1: it deals with officiating. I think we're gonna have a

2816
02:13:05,600 --> 02:13:09,760
Speaker 1: problem with either a kickoff or a helmet hit tonight. Look,

2817
02:13:09,840 --> 02:13:13,120
Speaker 1: and the league is almost admitted that this is a

2818
02:13:13,160 --> 02:13:17,280
Speaker 1: work in progress, right both rules kickoffs and the helmet hit.

2819
02:13:17,680 --> 02:13:20,040
Speaker 1: My anticipation is there'll probably be something on a helmet hit.

2820
02:13:20,240 --> 02:13:21,760
Speaker 1: They look like they're ready to call it. If you

2821
02:13:21,840 --> 02:13:24,240
Speaker 1: watched the Hall of Fame game last week, they were

2822
02:13:24,360 --> 02:13:26,480
Speaker 1: looking it looked like they were looking for opportunities to

2823
02:13:26,960 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 1: enforce this new rule, which they probably won't in regular season,

2824
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:31,920
Speaker 1: but I anticipate we'll have a little problem with that tonight.

2825
02:13:32,600 --> 02:13:36,240
Speaker 1: They'll probably be some penalty issues, either a non call

2826
02:13:36,440 --> 02:13:38,560
Speaker 1: or a should be a called, or a bad call

2827
02:13:38,720 --> 02:13:41,320
Speaker 1: or that kind of over or too many calls. Yeah,

2828
02:13:41,360 --> 02:13:43,640
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it tomorrow. We're on the air noon

2829
02:13:43,680 --> 02:13:45,160
