00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,240

00:00:35,760 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 2: Hey, how's everybody doing on this wet and Saggi Friday,

Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you. One Bills Live is

4
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 2: the show. Thank you for joining us on the day

5
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 2: before twenty four hours until the preseason opener Bills Bears

6
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:56,200
Speaker 2: at high Mark Stadium. And thankfully the horrendous wet weather

7
00:00:56,440 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 2: is happening today and is not supposed to have and

8
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: tomorrow it's supposed to be seventy one and Sonny sign

9
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: me up.

10
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:10,399
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not. I'm kind of discombobulate. We had, yes,

11
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 3: we had meetings. We had production meeting today. We talked

12
00:01:13,480 --> 00:01:16,040
Speaker 3: to Sean McDermott about the game, Brandon being about the game.

13
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 3: Andrew Catalan's in town, the producers are there. It was

14
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 3: a big meeting, big fat meeting. And now we can't.

15
00:01:21,560 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: Now my technology sometimes is not worth it. So now

16
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 3: I got to turn. My computers are all now discombobulated.

17
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 2: I tell you, yes, I tell you all the time.

18
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 2: My wife often says it'd be nice to go back

19
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: to the eighties every once in a while where you

20
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about this stuff, and you know,

21
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,759
Speaker 2: who's following you online, who's stalking you, you know, who's

22
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,399
Speaker 2: trying to scam you somehow or steal your proprietary information.

23
00:01:47,440 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 2: That that really wasn't a thing unless someone quite literally

24
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 2: stole mail out of your mailbox. You know, that's right,

25
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 2: and you had some sensitive mailing or something going out.

26
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 3: To the post office. There's nothing, Oh my gosh different now,

27
00:02:00,800 --> 00:02:02,680
Speaker 3: So absolutely mass.

28
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: You, we'll we'll get you through it.

29
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,960
Speaker 3: Steve, It's fine, Well you say that, and then here we.

30
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 2: Sit, he's trying to get back into his email with

31
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:15,079
Speaker 2: his new password, and there's all the new passwords. There's

32
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,840
Speaker 2: all these authentication hurdles that you have to clear because

33
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: we've got we got more firewalls here than you would

34
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 2: find in probably the most ardent communist country you could find.

35
00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 2: I mean, the layers of security are multifaceted for the

36
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: very reason I just mentioned, Because you've got hackers and

37
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 2: scammers out there trying to do the nefarious stuff online

38
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 2: that you hear about all the time. So I mean,

39
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 2: we're like Fort Knox here, So you got to you

40
00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: got some hurdles to clear just to log in off

41
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 2: and in the mornings, which we totally understand and we

42
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 2: love our I T department.

43
00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 3: We do.

44
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 2: We're not complaining.

45
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,560
Speaker 3: I think we love them. They make us love them

46
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 3: because now I get the little thing that says, more

47
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 3: you have to contact your IT department.

48
00:02:54,960 --> 00:02:56,960
Speaker 2: Oh, they'll be so happy to hear from you again.

49
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 3: Two words of the English language. I hate user error.

50
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 3: It's got to be me. It can't be it's it's got.

51
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: When the phone rings up in the IT department, just

52
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,720
Speaker 2: because it's more than a fifty percent of the time

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,359
Speaker 2: they pick up the phone and say, what do you need, Steve?

54
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:15,800
Speaker 3: They have they have. I'm like the focus of a

55
00:03:15,960 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 3: I think an ongoing bet I got ten bucks says

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 3: it's tasker.

57
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: But you know, as long as they straighten it out,

58
00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:26,079
Speaker 2: that's that's all that matters.

59
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,240
Speaker 3: And I did have one last time I had him

60
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 3: come down. They did say, no, it was not your fault.

61
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,680
Speaker 2: It was It's like, oh no, it's usually not your fault.

62
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 2: It's just there's some updated thing that I don't know.

63
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 2: It's usually not your fault.

64
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 3: It's just yeah, I'm just done with it. I'm I'm

65
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:44,000
Speaker 3: it's one of those days. And so you know it's

66
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,400
Speaker 3: the day before games, so the place is absolutely abuve

67
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: camp's over, they're moving back. Players are in the house,

68
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:53,760
Speaker 3: coaches are in the house, staffs in the house, everybody

69
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 3: else is in the house. Go time. It's it's go time.

70
00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 2: It's exciting.

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 3: I don't need my little thing.

72
00:04:01,160 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, you don't need interruptions, things getting in the way

73
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 2: of you try and do your job around here.

74
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 3: When I move my mouse and click it, I need

75
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: to do it what I wanted doing what I wanted

76
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:09,680
Speaker 3: to do.

77
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,400
Speaker 2: We've all been there. We've all been there. Yeah, the

78
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 2: the players and the coaches. They're kind of tying up

79
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 2: loose ends and yeah, you know it was closed today,

80
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: but usually the day before a preseason game, it's a

81
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: lot of walk through stuff, So I would imagine they

82
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: did a lot of that today, making sure that everybody

83
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,400
Speaker 2: knows what units they're on, chiefly on special teams. Right Steve, preseason,

84
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 2: he got all these extra players and everybody's got to

85
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,559
Speaker 2: know what unit they're on, so the substitution's run smooth

86
00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: because you're dealing with twice as many players on the

87
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,080
Speaker 2: sideline in the preseason.

88
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 3: Then in the regular rookie goes out on defense or

89
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:48,159
Speaker 3: offense on a down and distance play makes a great plays,

90
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,000
Speaker 3: like a sweet goes over and sits on the bench,

91
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 3: and then the head coaches over there going time class,

92
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 3: called time out. He goes the same kid who just

93
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 3: made the great play is all proud of himself. He's

94
00:04:56,760 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 3: supposed to be on the field for spread dope you're doing? Yeah,

95
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 3: and the kid like everything is shattered, is over so

96
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 3: sweating before it really is. There's you know, there's all

97
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 3: kinds plus with a new kickoff rule coming in, everybody's

98
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 3: on pins and needles. Anyway. They want eleven guys on

99
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 3: the field, and they want the right eleven guys on

100
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,280
Speaker 3: the field. That's all there is to it. And and

101
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: that's basically what they do today. Let's go through their

102
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,000
Speaker 3: pregame ritual. You know, you know how the team's gonna

103
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,320
Speaker 3: look smart and organized warming up before the game, right,

104
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:31,680
Speaker 3: and when somebody gets hurt, who's in form and when

105
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 3: when this personnel groupings on the field, that's good, Okay,

106
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 3: Now that person group is on the field. Now that

107
00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 3: guy got hurt, Now who's in And it's like, oh,

108
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 3: let's see wait is that yeah? Well I think that's me.

109
00:05:45,160 --> 00:05:48,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, contingency exactly, That's what it's complicated.

110
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 3: Its sounds. It's the most it's the thing that the

111
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 3: fans take most for granted, and it's sometimes the most

112
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 3: difficult thing to keep track of.

113
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it's hard, it's just tedious.

114
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 3: It's well, it's also it's hard to keep track of

115
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:05,479
Speaker 3: because here's the thing. In the first quarter, you're not

116
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 3: even involved, but then Josh Allen sitting down, the number

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,560
Speaker 3: one offensive line sitting down, You got all these other

118
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 3: guys in, and then one of them gets hurt, and

119
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,720
Speaker 3: then it's like, oh, now what, Yeah, you know.

120
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:17,720
Speaker 2: I went in earlier than I was supposed to, am

121
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: I staying in right, that kind of thing.

122
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 3: That's right. Yeah, So that's what helps is a little

123
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 3: bit of a juggling act for seeing so much in

124
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 3: the preseason.

125
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:28,800
Speaker 2: But we are looking forward to this game because starters,

126
00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 2: as we mentioned on yesterday's show, we're going to play

127
00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 2: about a quarter or so. And I think Sean McDermott

128
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:40,880
Speaker 2: traditionally has an idea in mind. But you know, if

129
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,120
Speaker 2: let's just say hypothetically, the offense goes on a fourteen

130
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: play scoring drive, that might be enough, and it might

131
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 2: only be halfway through the first quarter, right, But if

132
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: you go you know, if the offense goes four and

133
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 2: out twice, they'll probably get a third series. You know.

134
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: So there there's varying degrees of how that playing time

135
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,400
Speaker 2: is gonna unfold, and it's largely going to be based

136
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:06,840
Speaker 2: on flow of the game. We know Caleb Williams, the

137
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 2: number one pick in the draft, will be making his

138
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 2: NFL debut here at high Mark Stadium tomorrow for the Bears,

139
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: along with his fellow top ten pick Rome Adunze. So

140
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,400
Speaker 2: some exciting young talent for the Bears. I mean, some

141
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 2: people argue that the Bears have not had a franchise

142
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:28,080
Speaker 2: signal caller since Sid Gilman. I mean, what do we

143
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 2: I mean Jim McMahon was the closest thing.

144
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 3: Probably Jim McMahon is the guy that said the Chicago's

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 3: where quarterbacks go to die.

146
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and he played for Chicago.

147
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 3: You want to World championship with Chicago. So yeah, there's that.

148
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 3: It has not been conducive to quarterback success that franchise

149
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:51,360
Speaker 3: they drafted. I remember they drafted Jim Harbaugh number one,

150
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 3: number one last year, not number one. He was a

151
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:56,400
Speaker 3: number one pick in eighty seven. Right in the eight

152
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 3: seven draft, he was the first round pick of the

153
00:07:58,880 --> 00:07:59,880
Speaker 3: Bears in eighty seven.

154
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 2: I don't know why I remember that, but it sticks

155
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 2: in my head.

156
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 3: And he, you know, did not stick around long. They

157
00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:08,600
Speaker 3: had Doug Flutie drafted. Did they draft fluted?

158
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 2: No, he was he was the Patriots.

159
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:17,080
Speaker 3: Yes, and then he was They had oh gosh, Jeff George.

160
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 3: They had Steve Walsh, Steve Walsh.

161
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:22,320
Speaker 4: Wow.

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 3: It was like, yeah, it was like the clan.

163
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 2: Did they have Vince Evans when he was young?

164
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 5: Yes?

165
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:37,079
Speaker 3: Right, he backed up Bobby Douglas Kramer, Uh, Tommy, Tommy Kramer.

166
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: He backed up Tommy Kramer. And let me tell you something.

167
00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 3: Vince Evans could play.

168
00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 2: So Tommy Kramer didn't he play most of his career

169
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: for the Vikings and something like that, and then went

170
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 2: to the mayor Kramer. Bobby Douglas was there, right, Yeah,

171
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 2: but that was.

172
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: Way before Vince. Vince Evans. Vince had a really big arm,

173
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,319
Speaker 3: was a good athlete. Who else and Vince I think

174
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 3: Vince was on that eight five Bears.

175
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 2: Mike tom Zach, Mike Tomas the Polish missile.

176
00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: There you go, Mike tom Mike tom Zach was, Yeah, there's.

177
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 2: It's been some gems. It is yes, Rex Grossman went

178
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: to a Super Bowl, did not win.

179
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:18,000
Speaker 3: And tell you something that may be the biggest feat

180
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,360
Speaker 3: It was love Smith. Lovey Smith get.

181
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 2: Into a super Bowl with Rex Grossman.

182
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 3: With the Chicago Bears, and on top of it, Rex

183
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:28,560
Speaker 3: Grossman almost pulled it off. That is a Hall of

184
00:09:28,559 --> 00:09:33,120
Speaker 3: Fame season right there. Just rubber stamp that unbelievable accomplishment

185

Speaker 2: she's gonna get that opportunity down on the sideline. She'll

200
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: be doing those interviews with the players and telling you

201
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,599
Speaker 2: what's going on down there, and Eric Wood and I

202
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 2: along with Salby on the radio side of the broadcast

203
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: spectrum tomorrow as well.

204
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 3: I didn't know this, but I found out last night.

205
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:40,800
Speaker 3: The Bills game is going to be shown nationwide on interview.

206
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be on NFL Network. So if you are

207
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 2: out of the Western New York viewing area, you should

208
00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: be able to get it on NFL Network. If you're

209
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 2: in the viewing area, you'll have to go to your

210
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: local TV affiliate to see that. Which is it's WIVB,

211
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 2: I believe right.

212
00:10:58,320 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 3: It's channel four.

213
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:02,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, here in Buffalo, so that'll be where the

214
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:03,080
Speaker 2: game is located.

215
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,480
Speaker 3: And yeah, so that's I didn't realize that, but there

216
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:09,840
Speaker 3: you go. And the NFL network I think is taking

217
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 3: at least one half of the home broadcast and one

218
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,120
Speaker 3: half of the away broadcast. I don't know which one

219
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:15,720
Speaker 3: will be which, but.

220
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll have to see in any event, that's what's

221
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:27,360
Speaker 2: on tap for tomorrow, and then we'll kind of see

222
00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:30,079
Speaker 2: where things go. I mean, there are We've talked about

223
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: players that probably want to carry what they did in

224
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,880
Speaker 2: camp right on into the preseason. Kyrie Elam comes to mind,

225
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: Tyrrel Shavers comes to mind, as players that have put

226
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 2: together pretty solid training camps and obviously want to carry

227
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,680
Speaker 2: that into the preseason to make the decision for the

228
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:51,080
Speaker 2: coaching staff even harder.

229
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and this will be an interesting This will be

230
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 3: different than next week's Pittsburgh game in Pittsburgh. First of all,

231
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,880
Speaker 3: it's a night game next week and Pittsburgh, but also

232
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:04,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna have a full practice two days before the game,

233
00:12:04,480 --> 00:12:06,439
Speaker 3: two days before the game, so they're gonna Thursday, They're

234
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: gonna practice against those guys on Thursday, have a day

235
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 3: off Friday, and get ready for the game. That does

236
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:18,239
Speaker 3: I don't know how much it changes the dynamic, but tomorrow,

237
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 3: both teams are walking in cold to a team they've

238
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:22,200
Speaker 3: never even laid eyes on.

239
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:25,320
Speaker 2: Well, like you've said all the time, though, a lot

240
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:29,520
Speaker 2: of coaches in the league feel they get more evaluation

241
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 2: wise out of the joint practices because you can really

242
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 2: kind of tailor it to what you need to see

243
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:40,720
Speaker 2: to evaluate the players. You're not reliant on the flow

244
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,840
Speaker 2: of a game, you can say, hey, we're gonna go

245
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,079
Speaker 2: one on ones receivers dbs here, let's go. And it's

246
00:12:46,080 --> 00:12:48,240
Speaker 2: a one on one with a guy they've never seen before,

247
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 2: don't know his tendencies, don't know his abilities, and he's

248
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,719
Speaker 2: playing him straight up, man on man. And you can

249
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:56,640
Speaker 2: learn a lot about a player after two or three reps.

250
00:12:56,360 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 3: Like that, right, because you think about it. In a game,

251
00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 3: each receipt, you know what's the guy gonna get two

252
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 3: targets in a preseason game, and in one on ones

253
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: you get every single or every single every single rep.

254
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 3: You're going right at the guy so and you get

255
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 3: and even if they get a good rep, you know

256
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 3: there the ball goes the other direction. You never really

257
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 3: know how you know if they'd been successful on the

258
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:24,040
Speaker 3: on the rep. SO practices because they film all the

259
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 3: reps in practice, even the little tiny one on one

260
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:29,679
Speaker 3: drills and stuff. They film absolutely everything in an NFL practice,

261
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:33,719
Speaker 3: so they get some real down and dirty evaluation of

262
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,559
Speaker 3: how it how they compete.

263
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:41,479
Speaker 2: I kind of wonder if the joint practice will impact

264
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: how much playing time, say starting players, frontline players would

265
00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 2: get in the preseason game two days later. I think

266
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: with a day in between, almost two days in between,

267
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: because it's a night game, going from Thursday to Saturday night.

268
00:13:56,400 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 2: Maybe it doesn't really impact much because I think we

269
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 2: know that joint practice will be pretty intense. So I

270
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 2: wonder if they back off on the amount of time

271
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 2: starters get in the second preseason game. I'm gonna be

272
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: interested to see how that impas playing time.

273
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 3: It also impacts what happens after. I mean, because the

274
00:14:17,040 --> 00:14:21,280
Speaker 3: Bills have another home game here against Carolina, Yeah, twenty four,

275
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 3: and I don't know that, you know, how do you

276
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 3: play it? Do you play it so that that's the

277
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 3: game that you go take your starters through halftime? Yeah?

278
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 2: Because your next game isn't until September.

279
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 3: Eighth, right, it's about two weeks. Yeah, you got some time, so.

280
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: Maybe you want to get as close to that. I

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 2: want to get as close to that season opener as

282
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:44,800
Speaker 2: possible with the final quote unquote dress rehearsal, because if

283
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:47,400
Speaker 2: you're if you do that in the Pittsburgh game, and

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 2: that's the last time the starters really see any appreciable action,

285
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 2: You're talking about three week layoff before you get back

286
00:14:53,280 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 2: to that kind of speed again. So I'm kind of

287
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 2: wondering if the Pittsburgh game is to sit him down

288
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:01,000
Speaker 2: game go hard in the joint practice, but sit him

289
00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:03,840
Speaker 2: down for Saturday or play him sparingly.

290
00:15:03,480 --> 00:15:10,320
Speaker 3: And not for nothing. I'm just saying, you know, it

291
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:15,440
Speaker 3: is a preseason games. It's largely meaningless. But Mitch Trubisky

292
00:15:15,720 --> 00:15:19,120
Speaker 3: did play for those guys last year. So do you

293
00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,000
Speaker 3: send him in there, let him play a three quarters

294
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 3: of that game and light him up, attempt to have

295
00:15:26,400 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 3: him right? Right? Yeah, interesting thought.

296
00:15:34,080 --> 00:15:37,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you're always about gamesman ship anything. I just saw

297
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: the gleam in your eye as soon as you thought

298
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,360
Speaker 2: of it, and I was like, oh boy, here we go.

299
00:15:41,440 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 3: Well, you know you're going to get their best. Yeah,

300
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:48,720
Speaker 3: Claypool certainly has something to prove to the Steelers after

301
00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 3: they drafted him in the second round. And then you

302
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,360
Speaker 3: know Mitch Trubisky, you know they kicked him to the

303
00:15:55,360 --> 00:16:01,000
Speaker 3: curb for Russ Wilson and Justin Justin Fields. So yeah,

304
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 3: turn them loose a little bit. Okay, Right, we'll give

305
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 3: them a little something something to play with.

306
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:10,240
Speaker 2: Whatever works, man, Let's go around the NFL Presented by

307
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:13,360
Speaker 2: Kalida Health, the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills,

308
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,800
Speaker 2: and we begin with preseason action last night. Steve yes

309
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 2: two preseason games. For the most part, they were a

310
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:28,480
Speaker 2: little snoozy, not gonna lie a little. Patriots beat the

311
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,440
Speaker 2: Panthers seventeen to three, Giants over the Lions fourteen to three. Yeah,

312
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 2: we did see those. Steve in the Giants Lions game,

313
00:16:39,720 --> 00:16:43,920
Speaker 2: the debut of the Hawkeye technology.

314
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 3: I didn't see this. I saw like I saw it

315
00:16:48,960 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 3: on social but.

316
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 2: It took him a while, right, a little bit working

317
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 2: out the KINKSA told you.

318
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,680
Speaker 3: I did tell you, I told you so that is, yeah,

319
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 3: I don't And then when they showed it, it was like

320
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,320
Speaker 3: some funky graphic of.

321
00:17:02,560 --> 00:17:04,480
Speaker 2: Come on, man, it'll get better.

322
00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 3: It's like it's like they I don't know how short

323
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:10,960
Speaker 3: it was supposed to be. Yeah, but when they showed

324
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 3: it on the graphic, it looked like it was a

325
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: yard and a half short. I'm like, and you measured

326
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 3: that and it took you five minutes to do it?

327
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: Oh, it takes like ten seconds, I know.

328
00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 3: Is that all it took?

329
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: It took about ten seconds, yeah, Because.

330
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:25,679
Speaker 3: All I could see here was the common it was

331
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,000
Speaker 3: Phil Simms. Sims goes, if it's gonna take them this long.

332
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,320
Speaker 3: Are they really gonna use it.

333
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: It's the first time they're using it. Give them a break,

334
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 2: you know, I should have I should have known you'd

335
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 2: come out with a vendetta against this after the logging

336
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 2: issues you had.

337
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,560
Speaker 3: Right, I am against all technology today.

338
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. So they used it in the Giants game. As

339
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: we told you last week, this Hawkeye technology, which is

340
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,760
Speaker 2: going to digitally determine the spotting of the football and

341
00:17:53,760 --> 00:17:55,959
Speaker 2: whether it's reached the yard to get the line to

342
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 2: gain or not. Uh, they were gonna use it in

343
00:17:59,359 --> 00:18:04,000
Speaker 2: select preseason games, just kind of as a test balloon,

344
00:18:04,520 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 2: and they used it in the Giants Lions game last night.

345
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 2: I mean, as for headlines coming out of those two games,

346
00:18:12,600 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 2: I would say, you know, you'd look at the top

347
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 2: rookie draft picks. Drake May, quarterback for the Patriots, played

348
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:26,359
Speaker 2: seven snaps on Thursday against the Giants, or sorry, against

349
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,800
Speaker 2: the Panthers, so didn't see a whole lot of action.

350
00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett in before him, and so I don't know

351
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:40,200
Speaker 2: what that means, but in my eyes, Brissett's starting the season,

352
00:18:40,280 --> 00:18:43,639
Speaker 2: because if May was gonna have any chance of starting

353
00:18:43,680 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 2: the season, he would be getting a whole lot more

354
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,960
Speaker 2: time right now than seven snaps.

355
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,960
Speaker 3: I don't know if he would or not, but because

356
00:18:52,400 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 3: you know, Brissette only got six or seven snaps. Yeah,

357
00:18:57,560 --> 00:18:59,919
Speaker 3: I mean, we're looking. I think this is the only

358
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 3: completion he had his little screen pass, and then he

359
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 3: got this one knocked down on a little high on

360
00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:06,440
Speaker 3: a coral route and that was I think that was

361
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 3: it for him. I don't think he attempted another pass.

362
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 2: But ugly weather in New England. Yeah, and it got

363
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 2: the remnants because it was a rained tropical storm, Debbie. Yeah,

364
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:17,920
Speaker 2: they were getting soaked over there.

365
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: Yeah. There.

366
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:22,880
Speaker 2: And then the Giants game their top draft choice, Malik Neighbors,

367
00:19:23,640 --> 00:19:26,360
Speaker 2: who is probably going to be a very frequent target

368
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: of Daniel Jones. He plays twelve snaps in Thursday's preseason

369
00:19:31,520 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 2: game against the Lions. No targets in any of his

370
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 2: twelve snaps.

371
00:19:37,480 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 3: I wonder if he's gonna tweet something out about only

372
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 3: no targets.

373
00:19:43,040 --> 00:19:44,920
Speaker 2: I think it's a I would like to think it's

374
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:48,239
Speaker 2: a little premature for that, because probably by the end

375
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 2: of the season he's gonna have one hundred and twenty.

376
00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 3: It is premature for that, which is why I would

377
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 3: raise some eyebrows if indeed he did tweet something out. Yeah,

378
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,800
Speaker 3: I'm totally with you.

379
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:04,439
Speaker 2: And bad enough. The Panthers lose to the Patriots. Granted

380
00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,440
Speaker 2: it's a preseason game. Take it for what it's worth.

381
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 2: But then they fly home to Charlotte and the plane

382
00:20:14,960 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 2: cuts the turn a little tight on the tarmac and

383
00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,159
Speaker 2: runs aground on the grass and sinks in the mud,

384
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,200
Speaker 2: and so they had to deplane out on the runway

385
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 2: because they they need all the weight off the plane

386
00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: to get to lift the plane out of the dirt,

387
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,320
Speaker 2: per the mud, tow it out anywhere. Yeah they do. Yes,

388
00:20:35,359 --> 00:20:38,040
Speaker 2: you're right, and I can say I have experienced this before.

389
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:39,400
Speaker 3: Oh my gosh, it's so bad.

390
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: So Bill's at Brown's the Blizzard game. I want to

391
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,480
Speaker 2: say it was two thousand and eight, the eight nothing game.

392
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,320
Speaker 2: We get stuck in Cleveland an extra night because of

393
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,600
Speaker 2: the snowstorm. Can't travel home after the game, So extra

394
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: night in Cleveland after the game. Get up the next morning,

395
00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 2: eyes are clear. We're good to go. We're gonna fly

396
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,439
Speaker 2: back to Buffalo. It's a half hour flight. So we

397
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 2: go to the airport, get on the plane. We're taxing

398
00:21:09,359 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: for takeoff and the pilot. I don't know if the

399
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: snow wasn't cleared properly enough on the runway to clearly

400
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 2: mark it, cut the turn too tight and did the

401
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:26,280
Speaker 2: same exact thing up onto the grass and sinks right

402
00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 2: into the mud and basically beached the airplane. We all

403
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 2: had the d plane and then found out.

404
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,639
Speaker 3: In the snow.

405
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:36,520
Speaker 2: You know what, guys, We're just gonna bust it back.

406
00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 2: We'll be back in three and a half hour. I

407
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 2: hate that, so I can relate that that's happened before.

408
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,679
Speaker 3: When you know, it gets some snow down and they

409
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:47,159
Speaker 3: go ahead and you're the last flight or whatever. They land

410
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 3: it and they can't see the lines, yeah, of the

411
00:21:50,080 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 3: markings of the runway, and they run aground and drop

412
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,840
Speaker 3: off into the into the dirt, into the grass field,

413
00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:59,879
Speaker 3: and it's always just not good as a quagmire.

414
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: Ye, your plane's too heavy.

415
00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 3: You're done.

416
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones made some headlines. He was asked

417
00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:13,280
Speaker 2: in a media interview Scrum about progress on a CD

418
00:22:13,520 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: LAMB contract extension, and Jerry Jones responded by saying, well,

419
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:23,200
Speaker 2: I've got no urgency to get it done, yeah, which

420
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,399
Speaker 2: is kind of a peculiar response.

421
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 3: Well, they asked him if if he felt a sense

422
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 3: of urgency to get CD Lamb done.

423
00:22:29,119 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 2: He said no, yeah, that's and then cede Lamb. I

424
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 2: believe it was his verified Twitter account. He retweeted the

425
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 2: comment and wrote lol in lower case letters.

426
00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:44,679
Speaker 3: Yeah.

427
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:49,280
Speaker 2: I mean, it's only your number one receiver, so.

428
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 3: He's very and he's considered one of the top guys

429
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:51,960
Speaker 3: in the league.

430
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:55,320
Speaker 2: Now, we do have to remember Jerry Jones was once

431
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 2: a car salesman, so could be posturing.

432
00:22:59,680 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 3: Well, and it could be the fact that he knows

433
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,920
Speaker 3: it's almost done anyway. I mean, we don't know, perhaps

434
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 3: sign a deal tomorrow or today even you know, but

435
00:23:09,680 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 3: that's yeah, you know, we don't know what that means

436
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:18,360
Speaker 3: from Jerry except he likes to toy with the media sometimes.

437
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 2: Well, that is true. What I what I can tell

438
00:23:21,640 --> 00:23:25,760
Speaker 2: you is the market value is not changing, yeah, anytime soon.

439
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,680
Speaker 3: If you're gonna wait, especially at receiver, you're gonna pay more.

440
00:23:28,800 --> 00:23:32,159
Speaker 2: I mean I heard Brandon Bean earlier this week in

441
00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:33,880
Speaker 2: an interview I believe it was with the morning show

442
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 2: Guys on gr He said that quarterback and receiver, the

443
00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:44,439
Speaker 2: costs and the market value of those players has risen

444
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:49,359
Speaker 2: exponentially faster than other positions. And I hadn't thought of this,

445
00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 2: but Brandon was one hundred percent right because he obviously

446
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 2: researches this stuff. It's part of his job. Cornerback used

447
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 2: to be far and away a more expensive position then

448
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:03,959
Speaker 2: wide receiver. I mean, remember they were getting like eighteen

449
00:24:03,960 --> 00:24:07,040
Speaker 2: million a year, seventeen millionaire Tredevie's got sixteen a year.

450
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,879
Speaker 2: Receivers are making almost double that now per year average

451
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,640
Speaker 2: annual value, and the cornerback value has not gone up

452
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 2: nearly as much. It's kind of shocking to see.

453
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,240
Speaker 3: Those, particularly since we've seen so many really good receivers

454
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 3: pop out of the draft every year. Yes, think about

455
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 3: Poka Nakoula last year.

456
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:29,080
Speaker 2: Well, right, fifth round pick, and if you.

457
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:30,639
Speaker 3: Get and if you get and I get it to

458
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 3: Pooka's a little bit different because he's the right guy

459
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 3: in the right system at that time and a little

460
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 3: bit of a perfect fit. But I mean, you got

461
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,720
Speaker 3: Roma Dunze, you got the three guys that came out

462
00:24:40,760 --> 00:24:43,040
Speaker 3: of the Arab plus you got Marvin Harrison Junior, plus

463
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 3: you got Keon who all of us have been really

464
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: impressed with. And he was like the fifth guy taken,

465
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:53,920
Speaker 3: so and the you go go cross the way corners,

466
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:55,760
Speaker 3: well not so much.

467
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:58,199
Speaker 2: Well that's what That's what's confusing to me because it

468
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 2: doesn't make me seem has clearly taken a off. It

469
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 2: is the mo of most offenses in the NFL and

470
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 2: the way to be amongst the league leaders in points

471
00:25:07,240 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: per game. You throw the ball to score points, and

472
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 2: just about everybody's doing it. So why the value of

473
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: the cornerback, who is literally one of the more important

474
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: positions next to pass rushier to stop that from happening,

475
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:28,600
Speaker 2: hasn't seen their average annual value in contracts increase almost

476
00:25:28,600 --> 00:25:31,679
Speaker 2: in a parallel fashion. Is a little peculiar.

477
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:32,320
Speaker 3: Peculiar.

478
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't know why that is, but I.

479
00:25:33,960 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 3: Think corners, good corners are harder to find than wide receivers.

480
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 2: I would agree market. So you would think supply and

481
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:43,160
Speaker 2: demand alone would actually the value. But we haven't seen that.

482
00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 3: We have not.

483
00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,480
Speaker 2: And think about this, You still got people like Stefan

484
00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,800
Speaker 2: Gilmour sitting out there in free agency unsigned. I mean,

485
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 2: if they're sitting shut such short supply, what the heck's

486
00:25:52,400 --> 00:25:52,920
Speaker 2: going on there?

487
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 3: I wonder? All right, let's all right, let's just look

488
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:57,000
Speaker 3: at a big picture.

489
00:25:56,680 --> 00:25:58,880
Speaker 2: Here, and they're going to put on our tinfoil hats here.

490
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:02,920
Speaker 3: That's exactly right. Consider he's abound. Here we go. Scoring

491
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: was down last year and it has been for two years.

492
00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:08,560
Speaker 3: So the league is sitting there going, I don't know,

493
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 3: we need to pump it up. So here's the and

494
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,600
Speaker 3: coaches would know this, GMS would know this. They would

495
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 3: talk about this behind closed doors and say, listen, we're

496
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,320
Speaker 3: gonna score. He's gonna be back up, We're gonna do

497
00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:18,800
Speaker 3: some stuff.

498
00:26:20,840 --> 00:26:23,000
Speaker 2: You're gonna have this new kickoff for better drive start.

499
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 3: Yes, and also we're gonna we're gonna button button up

500
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:28,680
Speaker 3: the DBS this year. They're not gonna be grabbing and

501
00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 3: holding like that. We're like soast gardeners. Sauce gardener is

502
00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:33,480
Speaker 3: gonna be puking in his sink. He's not gonna be

503
00:26:33,520 --> 00:26:36,280
Speaker 3: able to play because he's getting clagged off. He grabs

504
00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 3: all the time, all right, guys like that. So that's

505
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 3: gonna happen. So they're going, well, if that's gonna happen,

506
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:43,360
Speaker 3: I don't need Steph Gilmore. Let's just leave him out

507
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:45,640
Speaker 3: there out of I'm not gonna I'm not gonna draft

508
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:48,480
Speaker 3: this corner. If we're doing that, you know, uh, maybe

509
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 3: there's a little bit of that going on. That's my

510
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 3: tenfoil hat theory because I know the league would love

511
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 3: it if I mean, everybody wants to see these games

512
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:59,720
Speaker 3: thirty five, thirty four every week. Uh.

513
00:26:59,760 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 2: There is receiver news out of New England. The Patriots

514
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:07,399
Speaker 2: are releasing Juju smith Shuster. That according to NFL Networks

515
00:27:07,400 --> 00:27:10,879
Speaker 2: Ian Rappaport. So, I know that Schuster has had a

516
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 2: chronic knee that kind of compromises his ability to play

517
00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 2: at peak performance, and looks like they've reached the end

518
00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 2: of the road there. They did draft a couple of

519
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: young receivers, so maybe trying to get more time on

520
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 2: the field for the younger players. And let's not forget

521
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: they also have Kendrick Bourne who's coming back from a

522
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: major knee injury towards ACL last year. So they already

523
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:40,840
Speaker 2: got one guy trying to come back from major injury

524
00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800
Speaker 2: who's been far more productive than Juju has in a

525
00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:48,080
Speaker 2: Patriots uniform. So that's the report, Patriots going to release

526
00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:52,160
Speaker 2: Juju Smith Shuster. And I'm not expecting a tremendous amount

527
00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,760
Speaker 2: of interest there because really over the last few seasons.

528
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:58,400
Speaker 2: In the one season with Kansas City and then last

529
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 2: season with New England, his production has kind of dropped

530
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,640
Speaker 2: off a cliff so and part of it is due

531
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 2: to the lack of availability. So unfortunate. And I mean,

532
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 2: he's not the first guy to see his career goal

533
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,600
Speaker 2: like that, and he probably won't be the last. It's

534
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:16,440
Speaker 2: just the way the league is. It can be cruel sometimes.

535
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers head coach Kyle Shanahan was asked about

536
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 2: what's the deal with Ayuk because last we heard Niners

537
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 2: still talking to the brown still talking to the Steelers.

538
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 2: Nothing's done yet, And the only thing Shanahan would say

539
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 2: was that the forty nine Ers are looking at every

540
00:28:34,240 --> 00:28:37,960
Speaker 2: possibility with wide receiver Brandon Ayuk, which I would assume

541
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 2: would include a contract extension.

542
00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:43,240
Speaker 3: Oh sure, they yeah, they Because if.

543
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 2: You're not going to get the right value in a trade,

544
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 2: why are you gonna Why are you gonna move him

545
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 2: for less than what you think you deserve in return?

546
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 3: The problem is fitting him in the cap yep and

547
00:28:52,400 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 3: living with it after you do. How good can you

548
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 3: be without him? What can you do with the money

549
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 3: that you don't spend? Can you can you help yourself

550
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 3: win games with that money that's left over? And and

551
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: here's the thing, like I said yesterday, say say Pittsburgh

552
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 3: wants Ayuk. Okay, we get they got them. They're gonna

553
00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 3: have to give them the money. So they give Ayuk

554
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: the money, which is a pile we're talking, you know,

555
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: like you said, there near top of the market wall

556
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 3: thirty or thirty plus a year, even if it's twenty

557
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,280
Speaker 3: eight a year. I mean, good grief, right, So they

558
00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 3: do that, and they got to give him the money,

559
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,680
Speaker 3: the contract, and they got to give San Francisco compensation.

560
00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:40,160
Speaker 3: What a two, one, a three, A one and a three,

561
00:29:40,200 --> 00:29:41,960
Speaker 3: A one and a four, A two and a five?

562
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 2: What what are you.

563
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 3: Gonna give them?

564
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,640
Speaker 2: Stefan was a one, four, five and a six.

565
00:29:45,840 --> 00:29:48,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, one, four, five and six. Are they gonna do that?

566
00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,600
Speaker 2: I mean, the bill's got a late pick back in

567
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 2: a future year. But yeah, that's what they gave up.

568
00:29:54,760 --> 00:29:57,719
Speaker 3: That's an enormous price to pay for your for Pittsburgh,

569
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:06,760
Speaker 3: for and listen for Justin Fields and Russ Wilson. I

570
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,440
Speaker 3: don't know if that.

571
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:11,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if it's gonna happen. Yeah, because

572
00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 2: you remember Deebo Samuel wanted out of there not too

573
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 2: long ago either, and that never came to fruition either.

574
00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, think about this too. If you're the Steelers, he's wait.

575
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:25,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, unless you're worried about getting out bid

576
00:30:25,280 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 2: by your I mean you have to believe Sanfran was

577
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 2: trying to pit two dicision opponents against one another, Cleveland

578
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,960
Speaker 2: and Pittsburgh, and neither team was buying it, right, like, man,

579
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,560
Speaker 2: that's too rich for my blood. We're out. But hold

580
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: on a second. Wait, what do you mean you're out?

581
00:30:39,040 --> 00:30:39,560
Speaker 2: Like you know what I mean.

582
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.

583
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's what san Fran was trying to do,

584
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: and it did not work.

585
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: And both clubs said, yeah, we're not doing We're not

586
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 3: doing that. Thanks for think about it, because they know,

587
00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,680
Speaker 3: I mean, they can say just what I said. Why

588
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 3: am I giving up four draft picks and twenty eight

589
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 3: million a year at least maybe thirty three million a

590
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: year for one guy.

591
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's I'm really curious to see how it turns out.

592
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,280
Speaker 2: And I'm almost thinking that it's more likely he's just

593
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 2: there this year, or you know, whether they placate him

594
00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 2: by putting some more incentives in his contract this year

595
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,320
Speaker 2: and say, hey, just take one more run with us

596
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,680
Speaker 2: this year, go to free agency next year, we'll let

597
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 2: you go. I don't know. I don't know how they're

598
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 2: gonna play that, But seeing how they did it with

599
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 2: Deebo Samuel just a few years ago, I would be

600
00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,000
Speaker 2: inclined to think they're probably gonna try to go down

601
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 2: that road again somehow, some way rather than trade him,

602
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 2: because it's clear they haven't felt of getting proper compensation back.

603
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 2: So they're not people. They're not an organization that sells short,

604
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:42,360
Speaker 2: if you know what I mean. So I don't know,

605
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: if I don't know if he's gonna.

606
00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,720
Speaker 3: Move now, I wonder Steelers, I mean, they're not gonna

607
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,040

625
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: us off today is Ron in Buffalo. What you got first, Ron,

626
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 2: You're on one Bill's Live.

627
00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:56,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, I wouldn't mind kicking the tires on Shuster h

628
00:32:56,760 --> 00:33:02,840
Speaker 5: with Clay Pool being hurt all or Hunter Renfro, I'd

629
00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 5: bring them in. I mean, what do we got to

630
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 5: lose if they don't work out. They don't work out,

631
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 5: we've drawn back to the curb. I mean, you know,

632
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 5: that's all I have to say. I'll let's these guys.

633
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: All right, thanks Ron.

634
00:33:16,520 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know that Hunter Renfro is the right answer,

635
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:25,120
Speaker 3: because I think Khalil shakeres better. I think well, I mean,

636
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 3: i think they've got like five guys that are better

637
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 3: and for Juju Smith Schuster.

638
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:35,040
Speaker 2: There's a knee issue there that I think we have

639
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 2: to remember.

640
00:33:36,480 --> 00:33:39,000
Speaker 3: I like, I think there's more potential in the room

641
00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:41,120
Speaker 3: right now. I'm with you, though, I mean, you're not

642
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: risking anything except you got to say goodbye to one

643
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 3: of the guys you brought in who's been practicing, who

644
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: you may have some hope for who you and somebody

645
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 3: like whoever keys who may be able to come in

646
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: and live on the practice squad and become a really

647
00:33:55,520 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 3: good player. Juju Smith Schuster. I have a hard time

648
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: seeing him improve.

649
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 2: Right, and he's got a chronic knee problem. I mean

650
00:34:04,680 --> 00:34:06,680
Speaker 2: he might not even pass a physical for some teams.

651
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:10,879
Speaker 2: You don't know, so I know it's a recognizable name

652
00:34:10,920 --> 00:34:12,960
Speaker 2: and you say, oh, bring him in. Maybe he helps you.

653
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:17,880
Speaker 2: But just trust in the fact that these pro scouts

654
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 2: do a lot of recon on a lot of players

655
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,320
Speaker 2: across the league, all players across the league as a

656
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 2: matter of fact, so they already know and have a

657
00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: book on you know, not only what Shuster has done

658
00:34:29,800 --> 00:34:32,959
Speaker 2: while with the Patriots, but how he's done in training camp.

659
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Speaker 2: I mean, there's ears on the ground everywhere. So if

660
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,439
Speaker 2: he's worth bringing in, someone will do that I don't

661
00:34:39,440 --> 00:34:41,399
Speaker 2: see the Bills in that kind of position right now.

662
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 2: Uh eight oh three oh five point fifty one eighty

663
00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:46,799
Speaker 2: eight five fifty two five fifty the number to get

664
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:49,520
Speaker 2: on board. We're gonna check some of the mail bag

665
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:54,840
Speaker 2: entries on Twitter. Alex chimes in with heard your interview

666
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 2: with Andy Major regarding this season's new parking system. My

667
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,120
Speaker 2: wife and I are flying in for the Chiefs game,

668
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 2: her first ever time in Buffalo. Are we still able

669
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 2: to get the true tailgate experience if we uber to

670
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 2: high Mark? I would say yes, provided you can find

671
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,560
Speaker 2: an inviting tailgate.

672
00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,960
Speaker 3: Right these tailgate are you gonna go to?

673
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,319
Speaker 2: You you got any friends, If you have any friends here,

674
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 2: or you know other Bills fans that you happen to

675
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:29,120
Speaker 2: know who live locally, or you know we'll be setting

676
00:35:29,200 --> 00:35:32,040
Speaker 2: up a tailgate at the game, I would encourage you

677
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:36,160
Speaker 2: to kind of coordinate those plans. Now, I mean it's

678
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 2: always like it's like we used to answer all those

679
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 2: questions on the relationship online, the football relationship online, Steve,

680
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:46,560
Speaker 2: you got to have a plan, So don't just show

681
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,040
Speaker 2: up and hope you can get invited to a tailgate.

682
00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 2: Try to see if you have some friends that you

683
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,320
Speaker 2: know that are Bills fans that maybe live locally or

684
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:56,520
Speaker 2: something like that. And I mean, look, most Bills fans

685
00:35:56,520 --> 00:35:59,279
Speaker 2: are pretty inviting if you're interested, if you're root for

686
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 2: the Bills and you're in interested in having a good

687
00:36:00,960 --> 00:36:02,799
Speaker 2: time and throwing a few back, there are a lot

688
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,840
Speaker 2: of tailgates out here in these lots that'll be happy

689
00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:05,600
Speaker 2: to invite you over.

690
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,279
Speaker 3: The simple fact, too, is think about this. Don't come

691
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:09,040
Speaker 3: empty handed.

692
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the other thing. If you want to try

693
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,640
Speaker 2: to find your way into a tailgate, bring provisions.

694
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:17,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, a case of beer is always a nice opener.

695
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:20,799
Speaker 2: It's a nice ice breaker, you know. Bring a case

696
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: of enjoyed your tailgate. I have a case of beer.

697
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,160
Speaker 3: I have a case of I come on down. Yes,

698
00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:31,040
Speaker 3: old friend, what's your name? That's right? Uh, that's always

699
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 3: a plus too. So bring something to buy your way

700
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 3: into a Bill's tailgate and make new friends doing it.

701
00:36:38,280 --> 00:36:40,040
Speaker 3: So that's that's my advice.

702
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 2: Tom Asks. Has James cook pass catching improved or stayed

703
00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 2: the same? Have you seen a change in training camp

704
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:50,840
Speaker 2: with his pass catching skills? He dropped a couple of

705
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:54,279
Speaker 2: touchdown passes last year. We definitely have no room for

706
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,799
Speaker 2: error this season, I would say he's done a good

707
00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:01,640
Speaker 2: job of catching the ball, it's holding on to it.

708
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,919
Speaker 2: He had one punched out in camp this past week,

709
00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: and you know, we know that ball security was a

710
00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,000
Speaker 2: bit of an issue for him last year, so I

711
00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 2: think he's got to remain mindful of it, especially knowing

712
00:37:16,160 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: the premium that Sean McDermott places on ball security. So

713
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:23,760
Speaker 2: I've always been a big fan of his receiving skills,

714
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 2: and it wouldn't surprise me if his role in the

715
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 2: passing game has expanded this year by Joe Brady, it's

716
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 2: what happens after he has the ball that I think

717
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:35,240
Speaker 2: is a bigger issue than his receiving skills.

718
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 3: I would agree with that. I would agree with that wholeheartedly.

719
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 3: I know he has he has caught the ball well

720
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 3: during training camp, but like you said, it's it's what

721
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:48,280
Speaker 3: happens after he catches it. Yeah, I'm with you. He dropped.

722
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 3: It wasn't a couple. It was three touchdowns that were

723
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,400
Speaker 3: dead stone cold touchdowns if he hangs on to it,

724
00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 3: and they all three went right through his hands.

725
00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 2: The wheel round against the Eagles, and there was another

726
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:01,720
Speaker 2: one in the end zone.

727
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 3: There was three of them. One of them the Eagles,

728
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,160
Speaker 3: he was going into the end zone, nobody around him,

729
00:38:07,400 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 3: and then there were two there where he was right

730
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,120
Speaker 3: in the end zone he couldn't hang on. So and

731
00:38:11,160 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 3: then he he does make a nice catch in another

732
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 3: game and the Cowboys.

733
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 2: Cowboys, I mean he he makes that on the run

734
00:38:18,600 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 2: down below his waist knee.

735
00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:20,359
Speaker 5: Yeah.

736
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hard catch that he made look easy.

737
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,719
Speaker 3: So it's a little frustrating to see him make great

738
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 3: catches like that and then you know, blow some easy ones.

739
00:38:27,719 --> 00:38:32,640
Speaker 3: But as Al McGuire, the great basketball analysts, you say,

740
00:38:32,680 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: he blew the bunny. You know, he little bunny shot

741
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,560
Speaker 3: the layup shot, and that's what that's what Cook did

742
00:38:38,760 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: at least three times last year.

743
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 2: So here's the one that he did make that was

744
00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:46,640
Speaker 2: so difficult. Our MSG viewers are seeing the touchdown against Dallas.

745
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,879
Speaker 2: I mean, this ball is coming in hot and he's

746
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: running sideways across the field and reaches out below his

747
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:54,720
Speaker 2: waist in front of his body to make the catch

748
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 2: and comfortably get two feet in bounds.

749
00:38:57,200 --> 00:38:59,279
Speaker 3: And then you go to the you know, the Philly game,

750
00:38:59,320 --> 00:39:01,399
Speaker 3: and it's like, dude, you know.

751
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,520
Speaker 2: So that wasn't a rainstorm, not that you know, that's

752
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:05,359
Speaker 2: an excuse, but.

753
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, he runs this wheel route right here, and this

754
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,520
Speaker 3: is you know, that's yeah, he's going in.

755
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:11,640
Speaker 2: He's going to catch that.

756
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:17,160
Speaker 3: He's going in. That's a crusher. Yeah, we're watching. We're

757
00:39:17,239 --> 00:39:20,000
Speaker 3: quiet because we're watching this. And then he just misjudged it.

758
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 3: He got it off the tip of his fingers.

759
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 2: Almost didn't extend his arms far enough.

760
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, he short armed it. And there was nobody there

761
00:39:25,760 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 3: at a short arm about and you know, as al

762
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 3: and I know this too, nobody feels worse about it

763
00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,040
Speaker 3: than he does. And I think part of his demeanor

764
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,919
Speaker 3: is one of the things that people kind of don't get.

765
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:43,000
Speaker 3: He is a he is no, he's a zero body

766
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 3: language guy, right he is. I don't say it's bad

767
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 3: body language. I mean, you don't know if he's ecstatic

768
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,439
Speaker 3: or or depressed. He is the same all the time.

769
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 3: And that's a that's an asset as long as it

770
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:02,080
Speaker 3: doesn't you know, it's an asset, I think because he

771
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 3: never you know, loses you know, that concentration he is.

772
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 3: He is there all the time with his body language.

773
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:12,200
Speaker 3: So I think it's more of an asset than it is.

774
00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:13,399
Speaker 3: But it does kind of bother.

775
00:40:14,040 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 2: You know, well, they don't see somebody outwardly expressing their

776
00:40:16,680 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 2: frustration and they think he doesn't care.

777
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,880
Speaker 3: That's right, and he is. He just does not do that.

778
00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:25,560
Speaker 3: So that's I think that's one thing people might hold

779
00:40:25,600 --> 00:40:28,000
Speaker 3: against him a little bit. If he doesn't bang his

780
00:40:28,080 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: head and you know, slap his own leg, you know,

781
00:40:32,520 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 3: you know Geisha Darnet, you know that kind of stuff.

782
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 3: It's like, no, he's he just does not give you anything.

783
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,200
Speaker 3: And I think that's more of a plus than a

784
00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 3: minus when you really think about it.

785
00:40:40,560 --> 00:40:42,160
Speaker 2: I think he's have a big hear this season.

786
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 3: Uh.

787
00:40:44,719 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 2: Mike asks, what are your thoughts on Tyler Bass's performance

788
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 2: during camp and do you feel there is an there

789
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:54,359
Speaker 2: is additional pressure on him this season. I think if

790
00:40:54,360 --> 00:40:56,839
Speaker 2: there's any pressure on him, it's because Tyler has put

791
00:40:56,880 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 2: it on himself. I think he would agree that last

792
00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: season was probably not up to his own standards in

793
00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:09,160
Speaker 2: terms of his performance. There were some crazy weather games

794
00:41:09,160 --> 00:41:10,840
Speaker 2: he had to deal with. I don't think that should

795
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:17,000
Speaker 2: be just summarily dismissed. And I think if there's pressure

796
00:41:17,080 --> 00:41:22,000
Speaker 2: on him, it's self imposed because I believe this organization

797
00:41:22,040 --> 00:41:25,360
Speaker 2: and this coaching staff has the utmost common confidence that

798
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,600
Speaker 2: Tyler Bass is going to bounce back this season and

799
00:41:27,960 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 2: look more like he did his first three or four

800
00:41:29,719 --> 00:41:31,160
Speaker 2: years in the league, not last year.

801
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think there's a lot of faith in him

802
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:39,239
Speaker 3: in the front office and the coaching staff. I know

803
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:42,560
Speaker 3: he's a real pro, and at this point in his

804
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 3: career he's turning. He's a real pro now. He knows

805
00:41:44,480 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 3: how to work it, he knows how to practice, he

806
00:41:46,440 --> 00:41:49,320
Speaker 3: knows how to prepare. That doesn't mean every kicks going through.

807
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 3: But I also know I think he feels it himself

808
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 3: that he's putting the pressure on himself to be better

809
00:41:56,120 --> 00:41:59,319
Speaker 3: this year. And it's a hard thing. I Listen, I've

810
00:41:59,320 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 3: been in an around this franchise for almost forty years.

811
00:42:04,600 --> 00:42:06,680
Speaker 3: It's hard to go to the Pro Bowl as a

812
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:08,879
Speaker 3: kicker in Buffalo. It's hard to go to the Pro

813
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:10,839
Speaker 3: Bowl as a punter in Buffalo. It's only when one

814
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:13,520
Speaker 3: got two guys that have done it. Norwood went as

815
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,040
Speaker 3: a kick place kicker one year and that was a

816
00:42:16,080 --> 00:42:20,600
Speaker 3: little bit of anomaly and anomaly because in that particular

817
00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,719
Speaker 3: year he had like eighty percent of his few goal

818
00:42:24,719 --> 00:42:26,799
Speaker 3: attempts were under thirty yard. He had a ton of

819
00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 3: small attempts, so even in the bad weather, they were

820
00:42:29,400 --> 00:42:32,319
Speaker 3: more likely. And then the other guy to go as

821
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,760
Speaker 3: a punter kicker was Brian Mormon, went twice, went twice.

822
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 3: So it's hard to outshine other kickers when they're kicking

823
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:44,799
Speaker 3: in San Diego or Miami, or Houston or Tampa or

824
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:50,640
Speaker 3: all these places Jacksonville, Carolina, they just they don't even

825
00:42:50,719 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 3: think about the stuff that Buffalo kickers.

826
00:42:52,760 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 2: And here's a perfect example. The Detroit Lions on their

827
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:02,920
Speaker 2: seventeen game schedule this season, fourteen of their games are inside.

828
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: Fourteen out of seventeen games indoors like Hyler, Baz doesn't

829
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:10,400
Speaker 2: have that.

830
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:12,080
Speaker 3: I'll say this, if you're a front office guy, if

831
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,040
Speaker 3: your guy doesn't go to the Pro Bowl, you're like that,

832
00:43:14,360 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 3: You're like going, I don't know if he's good enough,

833
00:43:17,680 --> 00:43:18,640
Speaker 3: unlike the other way.

834
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that's pretty crazy though. It is three

835
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:25,919
Speaker 2: outdoor games. That's bananas. We have to take a break here,

Speaker 3: Sure good.

875
00:45:42,960 --> 00:45:45,600
Speaker 1: I want to go on what you said about Jeames

876
00:45:45,600 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 1: Cook's having trouble in training cam catching passes and dropping balls.

877
00:45:49,480 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: You remember Joe Washington who played for the Redskins, who

878
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,479
Speaker 1: war goggles in the early eighties for the Red Kinds,

879
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,239
Speaker 1: right when they were getting hot with the d SO

880
00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:01,600
Speaker 1: and all that. Yes, uh yeah, and I remember how

881
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:05,040
Speaker 1: good he was as a pass catcher, he never dropped anything.

882
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,759
Speaker 1: Of course, obviously John Riggans did all the muscle work

883
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: running because he was the DEESO. But as a pass catcher,

884
00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,280
Speaker 1: if James Cooks could even get close to what seeing

885
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:17,800
Speaker 1: Joe Washington was, he was deadly those two years. He

886
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,840
Speaker 1: won the Super Bowl against the Dolphins, the year the

887
00:46:20,880 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 1: strike year cut down the nine games, but even the

888
00:46:23,560 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: year after the one led to him getting murdered by

889
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:28,759
Speaker 1: Oakland the Raiders in Super Bowl eighteen, he was like,

890
00:46:29,440 --> 00:46:31,480
Speaker 1: you couldn't stop him. Even if you thought you could

891
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:33,680
Speaker 1: stop them. He was just like all over the field,

892
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 1: little N runs around and okay N runs. Yeah. I

893
00:46:37,920 --> 00:46:41,320
Speaker 1: wish he could get him going to even be close

894
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:45,359
Speaker 1: to what Joe Washington was those two Redskins years. So

895
00:46:45,400 --> 00:46:48,040
Speaker 1: I'll hang up and let you oka. Yeah, thing, I.

896
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: Mean, I think it's in him. I mean I think

897
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,520
Speaker 2: he's certainly capable to be a dynamic pass catching back.

898
00:46:54,040 --> 00:46:57,320
Speaker 2: And I think that's what you're relying upon with Joe Brady,

899
00:46:57,360 --> 00:47:01,160
Speaker 2: because I will say this, the opportunities that he had

900
00:47:01,160 --> 00:47:03,719
Speaker 2: to make big plays in the passing game didn't really

901
00:47:03,719 --> 00:47:06,000
Speaker 2: develop until Joe Brady took over as the play caller.

902
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 2: I mean, even the instances where he didn't cash in,

903
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 2: those were when Joe Brady was calling the plays. So

904
00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:15,560
Speaker 2: I'm optimistic about his opportunities this season.

905
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 3: In the passing game, I would agree. I think there's

906
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:21,880
Speaker 3: no question. I mean, we haven't seen anything to refute

907
00:47:21,880 --> 00:47:23,600
Speaker 3: the fact that he's the number one guy back there.

908
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean, when they start out, James Coast is going

909
00:47:25,600 --> 00:47:28,560
Speaker 3: to be the first running back on the field. It's

910
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:30,360
Speaker 3: not going to be Ty Johnson, it's not going to

911
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:36,279
Speaker 3: be Ray Davis. But I just think, yeah, there's room

912
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,640
Speaker 3: for improvement, no question. We all saw and we've been

913
00:47:38,680 --> 00:47:43,440
Speaker 3: talking about it. But there's also I mean, he was

914
00:47:43,480 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 3: also if he had caught the balls we're talking about again,

915
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,080
Speaker 3: we'd be talking about him in a whole nother light.

916
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 2: He would also had almost seventeen hundred total yards from

917
00:47:51,960 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 2: scrimmage instead of fifteen hundred and eighty five.

918
00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,799
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, the guy is the guy would be

919
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,040
Speaker 3: people around the country would be talk about him, and

920
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:02,319
Speaker 3: that's how close he has been. He is, I mean,

921
00:48:03,239 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 3: to be an elite. So we'll just see. I'm I'm

922
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:13,400
Speaker 3: very I'm I'm just really sure he's going to be

923
00:48:13,400 --> 00:48:15,400
Speaker 3: a really good player this year, and he's going to

924
00:48:15,440 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 3: have all the opportunity he needs to prove it.

925
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:21,440
Speaker 2: Let's go to Nick in Georgian Nex. What's up, Nick? Hi?

926
00:48:21,719 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 6: Thanks, I've got a couple of questions for you. Yeah,

927
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,719
Speaker 6: one is how is tra Davius doing in Los Angeles?

928
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:33,200
Speaker 6: You may not know anything, but you know. And the

929
00:48:33,239 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 6: other the other two is what was Steve's forty time?

930
00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,600
Speaker 6: And how did Steve block so many punts?

931
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 2: Okay, thanks for the questions. We'll try to answer those

932
00:48:44,280 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 2: all in succession. Why don't we start with your start, Steve.

933
00:48:46,960 --> 00:48:50,279
Speaker 3: My forty time? Well, it's a little different back then

934
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 3: because they were all hand timed. There was no electronic timing.

935
00:48:53,560 --> 00:48:57,239
Speaker 3: So when I was a I don't know when I

936
00:48:57,239 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 3: was a freshman or sophomore in college. When I was

937
00:48:59,360 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 3: a in a community college, I got hand timed in

938
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:06,560
Speaker 3: a four to three three, And then after that I

939
00:49:06,600 --> 00:49:09,279
Speaker 3: never really got told what my forty times were. They

940
00:49:09,360 --> 00:49:12,719
Speaker 3: kept it to themselves. But when I ran the four

941
00:49:12,840 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 3: three three, I weighed all of one hundred and sixty

942
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:19,040
Speaker 3: pounds too, So there's that. And how did I block

943
00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:23,320
Speaker 3: so many punts? When I got to Buffalo on a Saturday,

944
00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 3: played against Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. We won that game,

945
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:30,040
Speaker 3: came out on Monday, I had a walk through. Tuesday

946
00:49:30,080 --> 00:49:33,040
Speaker 3: was a day off. Wednesday, Marve Leeve, he took me

947
00:49:33,080 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 3: out on the practice field. It was snow and a

948
00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 3: good friend of mine, John Kidd, was the punter. He

949
00:49:38,680 --> 00:49:40,360
Speaker 3: kept us both out with a long snapper and the

950
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:43,880
Speaker 3: whole thing, and Marv went through step by step, element

951
00:49:43,960 --> 00:49:46,799
Speaker 3: by element of how to block a punt and what

952
00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:48,200
Speaker 3: he wanted me to do, and what he wanted to

953
00:49:48,239 --> 00:49:50,399
Speaker 3: think about my landmarks, the way I wanted to place

954
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,239
Speaker 3: my hands where my eyes were going to be, the

955
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:56,080
Speaker 3: whole thing. He walked me through it. You know. Five

956
00:49:56,160 --> 00:50:00,760
Speaker 3: days later Sunday in New England, a block punt, doing

957
00:50:00,800 --> 00:50:03,520
Speaker 3: exactly what he told me to do. And from that

958
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:07,160
Speaker 3: moment on, I was his guy and I had he.

959
00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:10,560
Speaker 3: They gave me opportunity after opportunity to try and block punts,

960
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:13,400
Speaker 3: and once in a while I did. It's not easy,

961
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:16,319
Speaker 3: but uh, that's that's the story. And I don't know how.

962
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 3: You know, everyone every punt blocks got its own story,

963
00:50:19,440 --> 00:50:21,319
Speaker 3: and most times people just don't want to hear it.

964
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:24,240
Speaker 3: But that's it. That's the truth, everyone of them's different,

965
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 3: and that's how I got started.

966
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:30,920
Speaker 2: As for Trudevious White didn't do a lot in the spring,

967
00:50:31,360 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 2: was slowly getting worked back in in RAMS camp. Uh.

968
00:50:35,920 --> 00:50:39,279
Speaker 2: I don't know what his level of playing time is

969
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 2: going to be in the preseason, knowing he's still less

970
00:50:41,560 --> 00:50:44,400
Speaker 2: than a year removed from the achilles injury which he

971
00:50:44,440 --> 00:50:47,719
Speaker 2: suffered in Week four last year on October first, So

972
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 2: I think that's a kind of a TVD situation. But

973
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,200
Speaker 2: the Bills will see the Rams later this season, and

974
00:50:55,760 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 2: knowing it's a little bit later in the year, I

975
00:50:57,840 --> 00:51:01,440
Speaker 2: would anticipate that Trudavius could be back by then, and

976
00:51:01,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: we'll obviously kind of keep tabs on that as we

977
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:07,839
Speaker 2: get closer to that matchup later this season. So sorry,

978
00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:10,040
Speaker 2: we don't have more for you on that. I just

979
00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:12,600
Speaker 2: know they were kind of bringing him along slowly. And

980
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:13,840
Speaker 2: that's about the only update.

981
00:51:13,880 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 3: I have.

982
00:51:15,080 --> 00:51:17,040
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here because when we come back,

983
00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:22,480

Speaker 2: as it is in the very tight radio booth. You

999
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,239
Speaker 2: TV people have a lot more space than we do.

1000
00:52:55,160 --> 00:52:57,839
Speaker 3: If you didn't have a former offensive center in there with.

1001
00:52:57,760 --> 00:52:59,719
Speaker 2: You, well yeah, well that doesn't help. That's right, I

1002
00:52:59,719 --> 00:53:02,880
Speaker 2: got a in there with me. But yeah, you guys

1003
00:53:02,880 --> 00:53:03,439
Speaker 2: ready to roll?

00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:04,240
Speaker 3: Ready?

1005
00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:05,840

00:53:08,160 --> 00:53:10,399
Speaker 7: job of Maddie. Congrats to you. Excited to work together this.

1008
00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 5: Thank you so much.

1009
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:14,200
Speaker 4: I'm excited to work with you. Andrew and Tasker. Tasker

1010
00:53:14,200 --> 00:53:15,399
Speaker 4: and I get to work together all year.

1011
00:53:15,520 --> 00:53:18,080
Speaker 2: We expect, I think we expect Maddy to get any

1012
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,359
Speaker 2: and all interviews down there because she is a very

1013
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:23,719
Speaker 2: familiar face to the balance of the roster. So I mean,

1014
00:53:23,760 --> 00:53:25,800
Speaker 2: who can say no to Maddie when you know she's

1015
00:53:26,160 --> 00:53:28,400
Speaker 2: as friendly and engaging as she is with the players,

1016
00:53:28,400 --> 00:53:30,320
Speaker 2: So you'll know you'll be able to get anybody and

1017
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:33,080
Speaker 2: everybody down there for part of the family, they'll come

1018
00:53:33,080 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: over and talk.

1019
00:53:33,760 --> 00:53:36,799
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm excited to report on the team that I

1020
00:53:36,840 --> 00:53:39,919
Speaker 4: get to cover every single day, so it'll be fun

1021
00:53:40,200 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 4: to share things from my vantage point, things that we've

1022
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:44,880
Speaker 4: seen throughout training camp play out and that we're going

1023
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:48,240
Speaker 4: to see translate over to preseason games. And then excited

1024
00:53:48,239 --> 00:53:50,440
Speaker 4: to get to talk to so many of our players

1025
00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:52,080
Speaker 4: throughout the three preseason games as well.

1026
00:53:52,120 --> 00:53:54,279
Speaker 2: We just got to make sure that she stays out

1027
00:53:54,280 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: of harm's way down there. Give her a couple of

1028
00:53:56,120 --> 00:53:58,680
Speaker 2: listen tips about you seriously.

1029
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:02,560
Speaker 3: Like Maddie is very she's sure, she's slight. You can't

1030
00:54:02,560 --> 00:54:04,400
Speaker 3: get caught in the You don't get caught in the

1031
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:06,840
Speaker 3: vortex of that violence down there, and it's like a

1032
00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,360
Speaker 3: tornado when it's coming out. You run sideways, don't or

1033
00:54:09,440 --> 00:54:11,480
Speaker 3: have don't try and out run it the same way

1034
00:54:11,480 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: it's going. When it comes out, you gotta go.

1035
00:54:13,880 --> 00:54:15,719
Speaker 2: Now there you go. See these are the tips that

1036
00:54:16,200 --> 00:54:17,960
Speaker 2: we got to get. Maddie's so she's had a harm

1037
00:54:18,040 --> 00:54:21,520
Speaker 2: I need to get well, yeah exactly, and you need

1038
00:54:21,760 --> 00:54:24,319
Speaker 2: you need she needs to spot her as much as anything, right, Steve,

1039
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:26,160
Speaker 2: because she's gonna have a back turn off into the

1040
00:54:26,200 --> 00:54:28,640
Speaker 2: field to do a report, So you need a spotter.

1041
00:54:28,960 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 3: Not only that there's stuff she's watching. You'll be on

1042
00:54:31,719 --> 00:54:34,200
Speaker 3: the Bills sidelines, right, I mean you're probably not going

1043
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:36,279
Speaker 3: to go over to the to the Bear sidelines. You'll

1044
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:38,960
Speaker 3: be on our sideline. And the thing is, you're you

1045
00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:41,320
Speaker 3: know what you do as a sideline reporters. You're standing

1046
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:42,759
Speaker 3: right there in the bench or so you're watching the

1047
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,960
Speaker 3: guys behind the bench. You're standing at the right at

1048
00:54:45,000 --> 00:54:46,560
Speaker 3: the edge of the bench area. You're looking at him,

1049
00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:51,759
Speaker 3: and you're not watching the game. Sometimes, and man, when

1050
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,240
Speaker 3: it spills over the sidelines, it spills hard and fast.

1051
00:54:55,760 --> 00:54:58,359
Speaker 7: You guys have officially scared Maddie before the game.

1052
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:01,840
Speaker 3: Geez, I don't know about this.

1053
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:07,800
Speaker 2: Just play somebody to spot for you, sick Andrews. Since

1054
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: you are usually operating from a little less of a

1055
00:55:11,120 --> 00:55:15,520
Speaker 2: Bill's myopius standpoint than we are, can you safely say

1056
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:20,640
Speaker 2: there has been significantly less national chatter about the Bills

1057
00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,000
Speaker 2: than you've seen in the last couple of preseasons. Seems

1058
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:25,040
Speaker 2: pretty quiet. Tell us if that's accurate.

1059
00:55:25,160 --> 00:55:27,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, I would say that that. I agree with that statement.

1060
00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:30,160
Speaker 7: I don't think that takes away from how good of

1061
00:55:30,200 --> 00:55:32,719
Speaker 7: a team I think they are and can be. But

1062
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 7: I think you're right there. There's not as much talk

1063
00:55:35,239 --> 00:55:37,560
Speaker 7: about them as the past couple of years, which I

1064
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 7: think may may actually help this team. I think they

1065
00:55:39,760 --> 00:55:41,120
Speaker 7: play with a chip on their shoulder.

1066
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 2: They like being under the radar.

1067
00:55:42,920 --> 00:55:45,439
Speaker 4: Oh, they surely do. We know they do. They've talked

1068
00:55:45,440 --> 00:55:47,479
Speaker 4: about it before. They like being doubted. They like when

1069
00:55:47,840 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 4: people don't include them in some of the conversations of

1070
00:55:51,080 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 4: top dogs or teams who have dropped off a little bit.

1071
00:55:53,719 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 4: Hey bring it, bring it and bring.

1072
00:55:55,400 --> 00:55:58,400
Speaker 3: It on over. Yeah, it's always fuel. You know, it's

1073
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:01,080
Speaker 3: more fun and easier to get motivated to prove somebody wrong.

1074
00:56:01,480 --> 00:56:04,279
Speaker 2: I know. We had the production meeting today to kind

1075
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,200
Speaker 2: of get you guys set on the TV side. US

1076
00:56:06,200 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 2: set on the radio side, What did you take in

1077
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,360
Speaker 2: terms of what can be discussed publicly, What did you

1078
00:56:12,440 --> 00:56:15,960
Speaker 2: kind of take from coach McDermott and Brandon Bean with

1079
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 2: respect to the new kickoff and their approach. What do

1080
00:56:18,640 --> 00:56:21,600
Speaker 2: you think is kind of their general feelings about this

1081
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,799
Speaker 2: going going into the season, now that real bullets are

1082
00:56:24,840 --> 00:56:26,680
Speaker 2: going to be flying here really soon on a very

1083
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 2: very new and revolutionary play.

1084
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,880
Speaker 7: Well, I think that their approach is kind of what

1085
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 7: I assumed it would be, And I think what most

1086
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,319
Speaker 7: of the league is going to do in the preseason,

1087
00:56:36,360 --> 00:56:39,239
Speaker 7: and that's nothing. I mean, no one's going to show

1088
00:56:39,280 --> 00:56:42,440
Speaker 7: their cards. Everyone's kind of feeling it out. They're going

1089
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 7: to watch a ton of film of other preseason games

1090
00:56:45,040 --> 00:56:47,359
Speaker 7: to see how people do things, which I don't think

1091
00:56:47,400 --> 00:56:48,839
Speaker 7: is going to be much because I think most teams

1092
00:56:48,840 --> 00:56:51,799
Speaker 7: will be rather vanilla. And I think that Week one

1093
00:56:51,880 --> 00:56:54,560
Speaker 7: we're going to have a whole different look of what

1094
00:56:54,600 --> 00:56:57,320
Speaker 7: the kickoff rule is compared to Week one of the preseason.

1095
00:56:57,320 --> 00:56:58,880
Speaker 7: I think it'll be drastically different.

1096
00:56:59,239 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think they're doing what you would expect coaches

1097
00:57:02,600 --> 00:57:05,040
Speaker 3: at this level to do. They're looking at it really intelligently.

1098
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:07,799
Speaker 3: They're starting out with the very basics. All right, let's

1099
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,080
Speaker 3: just get it this under our belt. This is what

1100
00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:12,359
Speaker 3: it looks like when the kicks in the middle, Our

1101
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,800
Speaker 3: guys take off, their guys take off, and there's nuances

1102
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:19,640
Speaker 3: among that, like you know which way the guys are

1103
00:57:19,680 --> 00:57:22,280
Speaker 3: facing that are lined up. All of that stuff goes

1104
00:57:22,280 --> 00:57:24,000
Speaker 3: into the mix and they'll watch, you know where the

1105
00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,320
Speaker 3: kicker lines up. Are some of the kickers go ahead

1106
00:57:27,320 --> 00:57:29,960
Speaker 3: and kicking it high, which is kind of irrelevant these days,

1107
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 3: or are they trying to get it there fast by

1108
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 3: making it a little harder to field and get underneath

1109
00:57:36,120 --> 00:57:38,720
Speaker 3: the landing area hasn't really been explored to any of

1110
00:57:38,760 --> 00:57:41,000
Speaker 3: the kicks I've seen, Like they haven't tried to squib

1111
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 3: it down there and just land it just inside the

1112
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:45,760
Speaker 3: landing zone. So there's none of that going on, which

1113
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,200
Speaker 3: has got to be on the menu.

1114
00:57:48,320 --> 00:57:50,040
Speaker 2: I would think you want to do that. Yeah, I

1115
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,040
Speaker 2: want to force them to field it and have to

1116
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:54,240
Speaker 2: run up and go get it because it's a live ball.

1117
00:57:54,360 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. When the ball hits the ground,

1118
00:57:56,400 --> 00:57:58,479
Speaker 3: that's when the coverage team can release too. It doesn't

1119
00:57:58,480 --> 00:57:59,600
Speaker 3: have to be when the guy touches it.

1120
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:00,760
Speaker 2: A race to the ball.

1121
00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,600
Speaker 3: Then it becomes a race to the ball. And I

1122
00:58:03,600 --> 00:58:05,439
Speaker 3: mean you've seen it, the ball. You don't know where

1123
00:58:05,440 --> 00:58:07,600
Speaker 3: that thing's gonna bounce. I mean, the thing's got ed

1124
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,040
Speaker 3: ends on it, right. So when the ball, if you

1125
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 3: can get it airborne and get it to the twenty

1126
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:17,080
Speaker 3: and get it bouncing around, that's an enormous I mean

1127
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,240
Speaker 3: you're panicing if you were the return.

1128
00:58:19,120 --> 00:58:22,240
Speaker 2: And the other thing that's new this year, Maddie is

1129
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,040
Speaker 2: every ball in the end zone is live. You can't

1130
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,200
Speaker 2: just let it fall in there as the return team

1131
00:58:27,720 --> 00:58:29,360
Speaker 2: and say, oh, yeah, we're just gonna take it on,

1132
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:33,000
Speaker 2: you know, the thirty. You have to down it physically.

1133
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,240
Speaker 2: You have to go get it and down it. So

1134
00:58:35,800 --> 00:58:39,160
Speaker 2: it's gonna be interesting to see that everyone's been schooled

1135
00:58:39,200 --> 00:58:40,080
Speaker 2: up properly on this.

1136
00:58:40,240 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, there could be a little bit of chaos when

1137
00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,760
Speaker 4: it comes to something like that happening. And Sean McDermott said, hey,

1138
00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:49,080
Speaker 4: in the spring, we introduce this to our team. We

1139
00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:52,439
Speaker 4: taught them the rules. I think it's fascinating as we're

1140
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,440
Speaker 4: all watching history play out here that you have an

1141
00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:58,720
Speaker 4: entire team just a couple months ago that is learning

1142
00:58:58,760 --> 00:59:01,360
Speaker 4: the nuts and bolts of how how they think this

1143
00:59:01,440 --> 00:59:04,000
Speaker 4: is going to play out, how they think they should

1144
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:08,080
Speaker 4: go through everything with technique, what they think their strengths

1145
00:59:08,120 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 4: can be, and how they think they can fool other teams.

1146
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,840
Speaker 4: But it's a wait and see. We truly don't know

1147
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:18,080
Speaker 4: what this is really going to look like until week one.

1148
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:21,400
Speaker 4: I talked to some of our players too, just about

1149
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 4: the importance of what this could be in the first

1150
00:59:24,040 --> 00:59:27,040
Speaker 4: few weeks of the season, how this could play a

1151
00:59:27,120 --> 00:59:31,640
Speaker 4: pretty big deal into a score possibly, and Daikwon Hardy,

1152
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:33,800
Speaker 4: one of the rookies on this team who's a cornerback

1153
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 4: and a returner, said, Hey, I'm trying to play this

1154
00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,040
Speaker 4: like I would as a punt returner, because there are

1155
00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:42,200
Speaker 4: a lot of similarities here. But it is fun and

1156
00:59:42,280 --> 00:59:45,760
Speaker 4: exciting to work something different and new. But with that,

1157
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 4: there's also a little bit of anxiety out there.

1158
00:59:48,320 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 3: Little Yeah. You think about the amount of preparation these

1159
00:59:52,600 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: teams put into the minute details of what they're going

1160
00:59:55,720 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 3: to do, and then to walk into a game with

1161
00:59:59,120 --> 01:00:01,120
Speaker 3: this lack of knowledge about what.

1162
01:00:01,120 --> 01:00:02,840
Speaker 2: Could or there are no details on this.

1163
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,480
Speaker 3: There are no details, There are no really nuances that

1164
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:09,760
Speaker 3: they know of yet. It's just someplace they don't like

1165
01:00:09,840 --> 01:00:10,040
Speaker 3: to be.

1166
01:00:10,200 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 7: And we got into this a little bit with Brandon

1167
01:00:12,400 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 7: Bean earlier. But I think it's going to be interesting

1168
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 7: when you're composing the back end of your roster and

1169
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:19,280
Speaker 7: you really narrow down who's going to help us on

1170
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 7: special teams, you're almost looking for a different skill set

1171
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 7: or body type than you did in years past. Once

1172
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:28,640
Speaker 7: you get a feel for how this kickoff is going

1173
01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:32,200
Speaker 7: to play out, that could change some of the position dynamics,

1174
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:34,760
Speaker 7: how many players they keep it at a certain position.

1175
01:00:34,520 --> 01:00:37,000
Speaker 3: Compared to you, whether you want and it may be

1176
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 3: two different things. You may want big bodies for your

1177
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,320
Speaker 3: kickoff return team that can wall guys off and make

1178
01:00:42,400 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 3: lanes for your return or and you may want athletes

1179
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:49,439
Speaker 3: to cover it, explosive athletes to get up on those

1180
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:53,200
Speaker 3: guys too fast, right or vice versa. You may want

1181
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:56,440
Speaker 3: bigger dudes on either side so that they can gauge

1182
01:00:56,440 --> 01:01:01,520
Speaker 3: and collapse the return pocket. There's all kinds of things

1183
01:01:01,600 --> 01:01:03,280
Speaker 3: we don't know and that we haven't really seen any

1184
01:01:03,360 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 3: experimentation on, right. We're seeing it now, Yeah, as we watch.

1185
01:01:07,480 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 2: The other thing is, you guys are gonna be broadcasting

1186
01:01:11,160 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 2: the debut of Caleb Williams, first pick in the draft,

1187
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:16,040
Speaker 2: didn't play in the Hall of Fame game, but is

1188
01:01:16,120 --> 01:01:18,640
Speaker 2: going to play in this game. According to Matty Ebraflus,

1189
01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,920
Speaker 2: head coach of the Bears, kind of a cool little

1190
01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:25,040
Speaker 2: extra side story there. I mean, it's less so for

1191
01:01:25,080 --> 01:01:26,960
Speaker 2: Bills fans, and I'm sure it is for Bears fans,

1192
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:29,320
Speaker 2: which Maddie can speak to because their apparently dad's a

1193
01:01:29,360 --> 01:01:32,600
Speaker 2: huge Bears fan being from Chicago. But that's kind of

1194
01:01:32,600 --> 01:01:35,160
Speaker 2: a cool extra side note. You know you're gonna have Josh,

1195
01:01:35,200 --> 01:01:36,400
Speaker 2: and you know you're gonna have the number one pick

1196
01:01:36,400 --> 01:01:38,040
Speaker 2: in the drafted quarterback to start this thing.

1197
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,920
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think it's great. I mean, to have the

1198
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 7: starters go. Anytime that happens in a preseason game you

1199
01:01:43,800 --> 01:01:44,240
Speaker 7: sign up for.

1200
01:01:44,840 --> 01:01:45,040
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1201
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, And so Alan against Williams, I think is a

1202
01:01:47,200 --> 01:01:50,040
Speaker 7: lot of fun. I watched the Bears hard knocks last week.

1203
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:52,800
Speaker 7: Certainly they've got a lot to work with on paper,

1204
01:01:52,880 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 7: but you have a rookie quarterback and how is he

1205
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:55,680
Speaker 7: gonna sort.

1206
01:01:55,520 --> 01:01:56,000
Speaker 2: It all out?

1207
01:01:56,040 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 7: So I think it'll be I think it'd be a

1208
01:01:57,480 --> 01:01:59,000
Speaker 7: really fun day at the stadium tomorrow.

1209
01:01:59,280 --> 01:02:02,720
Speaker 3: Yeah. The number one pick of the draft also they've

1210
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:04,880
Speaker 3: got Mike Evans, they've got Roma Dunza, they got some

1211
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,720
Speaker 3: weapons around him. I've said this before. I think the

1212
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 3: Bears are doing it like the Cincinnati Bengals tried to

1213
01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:13,200
Speaker 3: do it. Give him the weapons, then plug your young

1214
01:02:13,280 --> 01:02:15,400
Speaker 3: quarterback in with guys who can really get open and

1215
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:18,040
Speaker 3: make some catches that maybe he's thrown under the rest.

1216
01:02:18,320 --> 01:02:21,080
Speaker 2: And Maddie, you gotta believe that in such a big

1217
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:27,200
Speaker 2: class of receivers, fans just naturally watching this game are

1218
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:29,440
Speaker 2: going to compare a Dunze to Keon Coleman.

1219
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:33,120
Speaker 4: I know it's the battle of the rookie wide receivers.

1220
01:02:33,160 --> 01:02:36,240
Speaker 4: You're gonna have some fun names to watch in this one,

1221
01:02:36,560 --> 01:02:39,280
Speaker 4: and we're gonna see a bunch of our receivers go

1222
01:02:39,400 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 4: out there. Keon Coleman in his first game, for his

1223
01:02:42,480 --> 01:02:45,880
Speaker 4: first NFL game, first preseason game, is going to be

1224
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:48,440
Speaker 4: fun to watch as well as Romo Dunze. I mean,

1225
01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:52,680
Speaker 4: you look back to the draft and the combine and

1226
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 4: Rome was in that conversation of top few guys who

1227
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 4: are going to get drafted among receivers, and Keon Coleman

1228
01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 4: wasn't far off of that conversation as well. Rome goes

1229
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:06,280
Speaker 4: to the Bears with the ninth overall pick, and the

1230
01:03:06,320 --> 01:03:08,960
Speaker 4: Bills pick up Keon with their first pick in the

1231
01:03:09,040 --> 01:03:12,400
Speaker 4: draft in the first round. So it'll be exciting to

1232
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:16,040
Speaker 4: see how these rookies act in this first game, the

1233
01:03:16,160 --> 01:03:18,919
Speaker 4: rep count that they get if they flash.

1234
01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 2: It all as well. Yeah, I mean, we're talking about

1235
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:23,040
Speaker 2: two guys that were twenty four picks apart, because the

1236
01:03:23,040 --> 01:03:26,840
Speaker 2: Bills traded down twice before they took Keon, who I think,

1237
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:29,440
Speaker 2: what was he the sixth receiver off the board? I

1238
01:03:29,480 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 2: want to say, or no, maybe six to win in

1239
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:34,240
Speaker 2: round one, because I think the record was six and

1240
01:03:34,280 --> 01:03:36,560
Speaker 2: I think they matched that or maybe they exceeded that.

1241
01:03:36,720 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: Memory gets a little foggy on the total number there,

1242
01:03:39,560 --> 01:03:42,240
Speaker 2: but it went receiver heavy right there at the end,

1243
01:03:42,840 --> 01:03:44,520
Speaker 2: and just when we thought that they were going to

1244
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:47,680
Speaker 2: pick him thirty second, they flip flop one more time

1245
01:03:47,720 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: with Carolina and they take Xavier Legett, and then the

1246
01:03:50,720 --> 01:03:53,240
Speaker 2: Bills take Coleman right at the top of round two.

1247
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,480
Speaker 2: And I think what's interesting is people might feel this

1248
01:03:57,560 --> 01:04:00,840
Speaker 2: is a fair comparison because body type wise there pretty similar.

1249
01:04:00,840 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 2: They're both six ' three plus and two ten plus.

1250
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,479
Speaker 2: I mean they have very similar body types and both

1251
01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,919
Speaker 2: play a physical brand of outside wide out. I'm really

1252
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,720
Speaker 2: kind of curious to see who is quicker on the uptake.

1253
01:04:13,800 --> 01:04:17,480
Speaker 2: I'm hoping it's Colman because he's playing with a veteran

1254
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:19,280
Speaker 2: quarterback who knows what he's doing. You would hope that

1255
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:21,640
Speaker 2: would translate into bigger production for him as opposed to

1256
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: do And.

1257
01:04:22,560 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 7: I think that's a big part of the game tomorrow

1258
01:04:24,800 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 7: for the Bills and also the entire preseason is how

1259
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,800
Speaker 7: that wide receiver room shakes out. This is not a

1260
01:04:30,840 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 7: typical year for the Bills in terms of the number

1261
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:35,919
Speaker 7: of changes they've had compared to the last couple of years,

1262
01:04:36,000 --> 01:04:38,560
Speaker 7: and that whole room is different. I mean, we sit

1263
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,480
Speaker 7: in our meeting today, the longest tenured receiver right now

1264
01:04:41,560 --> 01:04:47,480
Speaker 7: is Shakir. To me, that's I mean. So I think

1265
01:04:47,560 --> 01:04:49,520
Speaker 7: that that is going to be fascinating to see how

1266
01:04:49,560 --> 01:04:52,240
Speaker 7: it all plays out this summer and who's going to

1267
01:04:52,280 --> 01:04:53,800
Speaker 7: make the team and who's going to be a big

1268
01:04:53,840 --> 01:04:54,919
Speaker 7: part of the of the team.

1269
01:04:55,040 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 3: Yeah. The one thing about it though, and this this

1270
01:04:57,120 --> 01:05:01,240
Speaker 3: turmoil or turnover, not turmoil, but turnover that has happened

1271
01:05:01,400 --> 01:05:04,000
Speaker 3: to the roster at that in that room. The one

1272
01:05:04,040 --> 01:05:08,200
Speaker 3: thing that seems to have been changed that everybody's talking

1273
01:05:08,240 --> 01:05:12,400
Speaker 3: about is that that it seems like a really fun, together,

1274
01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,800
Speaker 3: selfless group of guys who are you know, they want

1275
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 3: everybody to be successful. You know, they're they're hoping the

1276
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 3: best for each other. That is a really nice environment

1277
01:05:24,400 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 3: for all these guys to play their best. So whoever

1278
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:27,600
Speaker 3: you get out of that room is going to be

1279
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,920
Speaker 3: playing their absolute best. And when you have guys like

1280
01:05:29,960 --> 01:05:31,880
Speaker 3: at this level, if you can get any of these

1281
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:35,200
Speaker 3: guys to play their best, it's very good, even if

1282
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:37,840
Speaker 3: by NFL standards, even if they're If it's key On Coleman,

1283
01:05:37,840 --> 01:05:40,720
Speaker 3: who's never played it down, you get his best, people

1284
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:42,880
Speaker 3: are going to be impressed with it. Same thing with Shakir,

1285
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,960
Speaker 3: with mac Hollands, all of them. So it seems to

1286
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 3: be because of the chemistry and the personalities in the

1287
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:53,400
Speaker 3: room and kind of the vibe of we're all new here.

1288
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 3: I think it's really going to pay dividends.

1289
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 2: The you mentioned, Maddie, you mentioned anxiety on kick. I

1290
01:06:00,560 --> 01:06:03,880
Speaker 2: think for fans there's already anxiety about the safety position.

1291
01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 2: Maybe less so because of who might be manning the position,

1292
01:06:08,320 --> 01:06:12,360
Speaker 2: but more about who's not available right now, as it's

1293
01:06:12,400 --> 01:06:15,080
Speaker 2: a position that's been compromised by injury here in training camp.

1294
01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, no Mike Edwards right now. No Cole Bishops. So

1295
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,600
Speaker 4: two safeties that you picked up this offseason, one via

1296
01:06:21,680 --> 01:06:25,000
Speaker 4: free agency, the other via the draft. Guys who you

1297
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 4: thought would be in a good place within this defense

1298
01:06:28,320 --> 01:06:30,720
Speaker 4: already are not. I mean, you've got a rookie who's

1299
01:06:30,720 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 4: coming into the NFL trying to learn what an NFL

1300
01:06:34,600 --> 01:06:36,960
Speaker 4: defense is like, and then you've got Mike Edwards who

1301
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,880
Speaker 4: unfortunately missed the entire offseason with an injury. So these

1302
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,400
Speaker 4: guys are going to be playing catch up once they're available,

1303
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,439
Speaker 4: and they're getting as many mental reps as they can

1304
01:06:46,520 --> 01:06:49,160
Speaker 4: out there right now. But what you're left with, at

1305
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,200
Speaker 4: least guys who we've seen a lot of from practice

1306
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:55,160
Speaker 4: is Taylor Rapp, who thankfully was on this team last

1307
01:06:55,200 --> 01:06:58,000
Speaker 4: season and has a good handle on this defense. And

1308
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,920
Speaker 4: DeMar Hamlin as well, who is coming back this season

1309
01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:02,080
Speaker 4: with a vengeance.

1310
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:03,120
Speaker 3: He wants to.

1311
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:07,360
Speaker 4: Prove that he is a viable option for that starting

1312
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,680
Speaker 4: safety spot. And we've learned a lot during this training

1313
01:07:10,680 --> 01:07:13,600
Speaker 4: camp just hearing from the defensive backs and the defensive

1314
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:17,320
Speaker 4: coaches is how much they put on this safety position.

1315
01:07:18,160 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 3: And things could have.

1316
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:22,360
Speaker 4: Changed after Jordan Poyer and Micah Hyde left this team

1317
01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,200
Speaker 4: no longer a part of the defense. You wonder is

1318
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:27,960
Speaker 4: the safety position going to be switched over in terms

1319
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:30,280
Speaker 4: of what is put on them, But no, it is

1320
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,680
Speaker 4: very clear that the safeties are the quarterbacks of this

1321
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 4: defense and they are in charge with doing a lot

1322
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:39,360
Speaker 4: of the communication, making sure guys are lined up and

1323
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 4: in the right place before that ball snapped.

1324
01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:44,200
Speaker 2: And then there's a little bit of a old home

1325
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:48,600
Speaker 2: days field to this game. A handful of former Bills

1326
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:52,120
Speaker 2: Andrew on this Bears roster. Everybody knows Tremaine Edmonds is there,

1327
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,840
Speaker 2: but Ryan Bates got traded. He's in the mix to

1328
01:07:54,880 --> 01:07:57,800
Speaker 2: be the starting center. And there's you got Tommy Sweeney

1329
01:07:58,200 --> 01:07:59,960
Speaker 2: tight end. I think there's one more that I'm free

1330
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 2: getting on the roster.

1331
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:06,240
Speaker 3: Bates, Tremaine edmunds Sweeney And is there another.

1332
01:08:06,040 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 7: One to get Eric Washer? Oh yes, so you're absolutely right.

1333
01:08:11,160 --> 01:08:13,200
Speaker 7: And Tommy Sweeney was always a fan favorite here.

1334
01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:14,800
Speaker 2: Ye his number.

1335
01:08:14,560 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 7: Selection if we remember he wore eighty nine while.

1336
01:08:18,760 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 3: He was here. Yeah, kind of sabotage his ability.

1337
01:08:23,520 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 7: But he did score a touchdown in the Hall of

1338
01:08:25,200 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 7: Fame game, and I'm sure he'll be a lot of

1339
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 7: the Bills players that were here with Tommy, You'll be

1340
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,160
Speaker 7: happy to see him.

1341
01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:31,519
Speaker 3: Out of the game.

1342
01:08:31,560 --> 01:08:33,639
Speaker 2: He was really tired with Dawson Knox, as you might

1343
01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,680
Speaker 2: expect in the same room there with the tight end.

1344
01:08:35,760 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 2: So yeah, it's just just kind of crazy to see

1345
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:41,600
Speaker 2: that there is one former Bear as well. Kendall Williamson

1346
01:08:42,400 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 2: was in camp last year with the Bears and he

1347
01:08:45,479 --> 01:08:49,000
Speaker 2: is here at the safety position and he since the

1348
01:08:49,040 --> 01:08:52,920
Speaker 2: injuries to Edwards and Cole Bishop, has been kind of

1349
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:54,080
Speaker 2: running with the second team.

1350
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:57,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, and he said, you know this, I'm I'm learning

1351
01:08:57,720 --> 01:09:00,320
Speaker 4: right now because the last season I was was with

1352
01:09:00,400 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 4: the Chicago Bears. So this offseason for me has been

1353
01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 4: all about trying to understand this defense and get as

1354
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:11,320
Speaker 4: many reps out there during practices as possible. I spoke

1355
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 4: with him after practice a couple of days ago, and

1356
01:09:14,160 --> 01:09:17,320
Speaker 4: he also played against Caleb Williams in college because he

1357
01:09:17,360 --> 01:09:20,920
Speaker 4: went to Stanford. Caleb spent a couple of seasons at USC,

1358
01:09:21,320 --> 01:09:25,240
Speaker 4: so USC ran up the scoreboard against Stanford that game

1359
01:09:25,280 --> 01:09:28,360
Speaker 4: and Kendall said, you know, Caleb is a is a

1360
01:09:28,400 --> 01:09:31,080
Speaker 4: gun slinger. He's gonna it's gonna be really fun to

1361
01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 4: watch him on the NFL stage. But when it comes

1362
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 4: to defending a quarterback like that, it's got to be

1363
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,080
Speaker 4: about team football. I asked him, what is what is

1364
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:44,000
Speaker 4: the art to stopping Caleb Williams, and Kendall said, We've

1365
01:09:44,040 --> 01:09:46,280
Speaker 4: got to do our one to eleventh. We have to

1366
01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,360
Speaker 4: be sound, we have to be communicating as a team,

1367
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:52,719
Speaker 4: because he knows how to how to get throws into

1368
01:09:52,720 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 4: tight windows and he knows how to move the ball

1369
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 4: down the field.

1370
01:09:57,240 --> 01:10:00,720
Speaker 2: Offensive line, Andrew, there are a couple of you up there,

1371
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,280
Speaker 2: but I think a lot of people are. I don't

1372
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:05,519
Speaker 2: think they're given this offensive line enough credit. If there

1373
01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:09,120
Speaker 2: is continuity on the offensive side of the ball, it's

1374
01:10:09,240 --> 01:10:11,920
Speaker 2: unquestionably upfront. Because even though David Edwards wasn't in the

1375
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,880
Speaker 2: starting lineup last year, he was there, heavy personnel guy.

1376
01:10:14,920 --> 01:10:16,800
Speaker 2: There's sixth offensive line and it's not like he doesn't

1377
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 2: know these guys.

1378
01:10:17,479 --> 01:10:19,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that anytime you go through a training

1379
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,439
Speaker 7: camp and there's not a lot of talk about the

1380
01:10:21,479 --> 01:10:24,320
Speaker 7: offensive line, that's a good thing. I haven't really heard

1381
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 7: too much about them this summer, which again I think

1382
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:29,960
Speaker 7: is a positive. I have a lot of confidence in

1383
01:10:29,960 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 7: that line from a Bill's perspective, and I think Edwards

1384
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:33,480
Speaker 7: will step in admirably.

1385
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:36,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, those guys last year it was unprecedented. I mean,

1386
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:40,439
Speaker 3: five guys took virtually all the snaps at offensive line.

1387
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:44,800
Speaker 3: Nobody missed any significant time. And you know, you kind

1388
01:10:44,800 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: of we were talking. We had Connor McGovern sitting in

1389
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 3: between us at training camp and he's a probably, you know,

1390
01:10:49,200 --> 01:10:52,960
Speaker 3: it probably won't happen this year because just the fact

1391
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:56,439
Speaker 3: of we'll come back to the meme. But it did

1392
01:10:56,479 --> 01:11:00,200
Speaker 3: give those guys a chance to get really tuned in form.

1393
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 3: Four to five are coming back, and the fifth one

1394
01:11:03,439 --> 01:11:05,920
Speaker 3: who's been plugged in was there every week too, and

1395
01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,160
Speaker 3: he played in every single game as the heavy guy.

1396
01:11:08,240 --> 01:11:13,599
Speaker 3: So there's some continuity there. And with with Mitch Morse gone,

1397
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,639
Speaker 3: Connor McGovern moving down, and David Edwards moving in, they

1398
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:22,920
Speaker 3: got bigger and younger. It's a it's quite a group

1399
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 3: offensive lineman they've got, and I think that's going to

1400
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,879
Speaker 3: be going to be one of the most difficult position

1401
01:11:28,080 --> 01:11:31,479
Speaker 3: groups to hone in on. A little many they can

1402
01:11:31,600 --> 01:11:33,360
Speaker 3: how many they can keep I think they would love

1403
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:36,080
Speaker 3: would speak the.

1404
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:40,320
Speaker 2: Depth because I was just looking at a couple of

1405
01:11:40,360 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 2: other teams camps and how they're going, and I saw

1406
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 2: it in three of the five other teams that I

1407
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:50,240
Speaker 2: looked at. They're they're looking already towards cuts to try

1408
01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:53,200
Speaker 2: to pick up a guard or you know, a backup tackle.

1409
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,920
Speaker 2: People are on the lookout for talent already, and the

1410
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,559
Speaker 2: Bears have or the Bills have boatloads of it right now.

1411
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 2: And the second team, maybe even the three.

1412
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,720
Speaker 4: I mean, you've got Lyle Collins that they picked up

1413
01:12:03,760 --> 01:12:04,799
Speaker 4: in the off season.

1414
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 2: He's the name you have.

1415
01:12:06,960 --> 01:12:09,479
Speaker 4: Yeah, you have Alec Anderson and Ryan Vandermark who have

1416
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 4: been on this team for a few seasons now. And

1417
01:12:12,320 --> 01:12:15,280
Speaker 4: Vanda Mark got his opportunity last season and did a

1418
01:12:15,320 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 4: good job with it and has been in the mix

1419
01:12:17,800 --> 01:12:21,640
Speaker 4: as well during training camp, shifting through, you know with

1420
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:23,960
Speaker 4: the ones and the twos when the ones get a break.

1421
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 4: And then you have you have guys that we just

1422
01:12:26,720 --> 01:12:29,200
Speaker 4: drafted that I think will provide great depth to this

1423
01:12:29,280 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 4: offensive line. And Cedric van prand Granger and then also

1424
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:37,000
Speaker 4: Tyland Grabil who has been you know, switching around both

1425
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:37,879
Speaker 4: tackle spots.

1426
01:12:38,160 --> 01:12:39,120
Speaker 3: And you ask.

1427
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,080
Speaker 4: Joe Brady, our offensive coordinator, what he thinks about the group.

1428
01:12:42,360 --> 01:12:45,639
Speaker 4: You ask veteran offensive lineman what they think about the group,

1429
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 4: and you just hear how good this depth is and

1430
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:50,719
Speaker 4: how hard it's going to be to pare it down.

1431
01:12:50,960 --> 01:12:57,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got guys that you know, Tyland Graham, grabel I.

1432
01:12:57,479 --> 01:12:59,720
Speaker 3: I was impressed with him. It didn't look for inn

1433
01:12:59,720 --> 01:13:03,760
Speaker 3: to him him. He's a guy from you know, great Britainers.

1434
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:04,960
Speaker 2: No, no, that's tracking.

1435
01:13:06,720 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, he comes in from UCF and I didn't know

1436
01:13:08,760 --> 01:13:11,120
Speaker 3: who he was. And I saw him start taking I

1437
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,120
Speaker 3: thought his feet were light. I thought he moved well.

1438
01:13:13,200 --> 01:13:16,120
Speaker 3: It wasn't too big for him. He took on bull rushes,

1439
01:13:16,200 --> 01:13:18,240
Speaker 3: he got guys off the edge. He was really playing

1440
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:21,120
Speaker 3: extremely well. And then the other guy that I was

1441
01:13:21,120 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 3: looking at was the other Mike Edwards. I was tall.

1442
01:13:25,080 --> 01:13:28,880
Speaker 3: I was telling Brownie. I was telling Brownie for three days.

1443
01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 3: Look how big that dude is. And certainly he's he's

1444
01:13:33,560 --> 01:13:35,400
Speaker 3: three fifty plus, but.

1445
01:13:35,320 --> 01:13:39,320
Speaker 2: He's listed for three. Steve's convinced he's bigger.

1446
01:13:39,080 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 3: And he is tall. He's tall, he carries it. He

1447
01:13:42,600 --> 01:13:44,400
Speaker 3: looks like an offensive line. He looks like a big

1448
01:13:44,439 --> 01:13:46,640
Speaker 3: everywhere He's big at from his from the soles of

1449
01:13:46,680 --> 01:13:48,880
Speaker 3: his feet to the top of his head, and he

1450
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:51,479
Speaker 3: moves well, and he's he's got a chance to play

1451
01:13:51,479 --> 01:13:55,519
Speaker 3: really well. I was I'm really struck by the size

1452
01:13:55,560 --> 01:13:58,400
Speaker 3: of this O line up front, and certainly the front

1453
01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,000
Speaker 3: five are also young. I mean, Dion's the oldest guy

1454
01:14:02,040 --> 01:14:05,400
Speaker 3: up there by a significant amount. Everybody else is in

1455
01:14:05,439 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 3: like twenty six, twenty four, twenty five. It's a it's

1456
01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:09,559
Speaker 3: a young group.

1457
01:14:09,680 --> 01:14:12,800
Speaker 2: And Andrew, I know you've probably researched this, but when

1458
01:14:12,840 --> 01:14:15,439
Speaker 2: Joe Brady took over last year, over the last seven games,

1459
01:14:15,479 --> 01:14:17,759
Speaker 2: they ran the ball fifty two percent of the time.

1460
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 2: We're waiting to see now if we're going to see

1461
01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:23,800
Speaker 2: evidence of that continuing here through the course of the preseason.

1462
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,679
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think that's an interesting part of this new offense.

1463
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,400
Speaker 7: In talking to Sean McDermott today, like we did, he's

1464
01:14:29,439 --> 01:14:31,920
Speaker 7: been really impressed with Joe Brady in his process of

1465
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:35,479
Speaker 7: getting this offense ready to go for Week one. You know,

1466
01:14:36,200 --> 01:14:38,679
Speaker 7: Ray Davis is a guy that I'm looking at tomorrow.

1467
01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:41,120
Speaker 7: I want to see how he looks out there. But

1468
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 7: you're right, they're gonna need some parts to get this

1469
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:45,960
Speaker 7: run game going to where it was towards the end

1470
01:14:45,960 --> 01:14:46,519
Speaker 7: of last year.

1471
01:14:46,600 --> 01:14:48,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think everybody's just curious. Are they going to

1472
01:14:48,760 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 2: really run it that much again?

1473
01:14:50,560 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 7: And that's kind of the big one hundred million dollar question.

1474
01:14:53,240 --> 01:14:55,920
Speaker 2: We don't know, but maybe we get some evidence of

1475
01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:57,360
Speaker 2: it beginning tomorrow.

1476
01:14:57,400 --> 01:15:00,519
Speaker 3: Josh is more efficient, particularly with this receiving care corps

1477
01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:03,679
Speaker 3: and this tight end group, and they can grind out

1478
01:15:03,720 --> 01:15:05,880
Speaker 3: some first downs and kind of pull do it that

1479
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,519
Speaker 3: way and be more free to have more throwaway downs

1480
01:15:08,520 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 3: where they can hand it off, uh, and they can

1481
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,800
Speaker 3: be efficient. Their red zone offense, I think, is gonna

1482
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:17,439
Speaker 3: be a boatload of trouble for defenses because of their

1483
01:15:17,479 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 3: height to their size and their catch radius and Josh's

1484
01:15:20,360 --> 01:15:23,200
Speaker 3: ability to run. I mean, their red zone offense is

1485
01:15:23,200 --> 01:15:27,400
Speaker 3: gonna be a really it's been really good. If that's

1486
01:15:27,479 --> 01:15:31,400
Speaker 3: the case, was it should be. Teams are really gonna

1487
01:15:31,439 --> 01:15:33,960
Speaker 3: have a hard time getting enough possessions to keep up

1488
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:37,080
Speaker 3: with this group, you know what I mean. It's gonna

1489
01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:39,519
Speaker 3: turn into one of those things where they might feel

1490
01:15:39,520 --> 01:15:41,880
Speaker 3: like they could have beaten the Bills, but they just

1491
01:15:41,920 --> 01:15:47,080
Speaker 3: don't get the ball enough. Time of possession is gonna

1492
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:49,519
Speaker 3: be a more of a key factor for the Bills.

1493
01:15:49,640 --> 01:15:53,040
Speaker 3: And when you've got Josh the way he is, you're

1494
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:54,800
Speaker 3: not gonna feel like you're put the game. If you

1495
01:15:54,800 --> 01:15:57,160
Speaker 3: get up on this score this team by two scorers

1496
01:15:57,360 --> 01:16:00,240
Speaker 3: by the Bills, you're still gonna they still got Josh,

1497
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,519
Speaker 3: you know. And if they start dropping back and going

1498
01:16:02,520 --> 01:16:06,840
Speaker 3: shotgun every play, I just think this offense has got

1499
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,599
Speaker 3: so many ways they can really be good. And if

1500
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 3: they go this way where they can run the ball effectively,

1501
01:16:13,479 --> 01:16:15,759
Speaker 3: they're going to strangle a lot of teams just because

1502
01:16:15,800 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 3: they won't have enough opportunity to win.

1503
01:16:18,600 --> 01:16:21,439
Speaker 2: Well, we get our first look at it tomorrow, So

1504
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:25,439
Speaker 2: good luck team and calling it on WIVB TV Channel

Speaker 2: Bill's Live, presented by Cold of Health, It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1513
01:17:00,520 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 6: All right back here.

1514
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:03,679
Speaker 2: On one of Bill's Live on a Friday OBL fan

1515
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 2: Mailbag Friday. Good conversation there with the TV broadcast team.

1516
01:17:07,880 --> 01:17:10,200
Speaker 2: Guys will kill it tomorrow. We'll do the same on

1517
01:17:10,240 --> 01:17:14,240
Speaker 2: the radio side. So looking forward to calling some game action.

1518
01:17:14,360 --> 01:17:17,519
Speaker 2: We are back, man, it's gonna be great. We do

1519
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:21,400
Speaker 2: have to get back to the OBL mail bag here

1520
01:17:21,479 --> 01:17:26,720
Speaker 2: on Friday fan Mailbag. So we left off with Jonathan

1521
01:17:26,760 --> 01:17:29,920
Speaker 2: who asks, what is the main thing you'd like to

1522
01:17:29,960 --> 01:17:34,400
Speaker 2: see in the first preseason game. I don't know about you, Steve,

1523
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,880
Speaker 2: but I think we all have our favorite players that

1524
01:17:36,920 --> 01:17:41,040
Speaker 2: we'd like to see come through and execute. But I

1525
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:44,680
Speaker 2: want to just see this team in their first preseason

1526
01:17:44,720 --> 01:17:48,320
Speaker 2: game kind of just function operationally, getting out of the

1527
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,120
Speaker 2: huddle consistently with twenty to eighteen seconds left on the

1528
01:17:51,160 --> 01:17:56,240
Speaker 2: play clock, getting lined up right like. It sounds simple

1529
01:17:56,560 --> 01:18:02,880
Speaker 2: and elementary, but coach McDermott pounds the fundamentals all the time,

1530
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 2: and he does it all throughout the regular season, and

1531
01:18:05,840 --> 01:18:09,040
Speaker 2: I gotta imagine he kind of wants the same sound

1532
01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:13,800
Speaker 2: fundamental elements of the game buttoned up here in the

1533
01:18:13,800 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 2: first time.

1534
01:18:14,479 --> 01:18:17,120
Speaker 3: I'll say this, there's no excuse for the offense not

1535
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 3: having that together, well, right, they got five returning offensive

1536
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:25,880
Speaker 3: line quarter and a veteran quarterback, veteran running back, your

1537
01:18:26,240 --> 01:18:30,360
Speaker 3: tight end group as veteran, so there's really no excuse

1538
01:18:30,439 --> 01:18:33,760
Speaker 3: for that. On the offensive side of the ball, now,

1539
01:18:33,840 --> 01:18:36,519
Speaker 3: you might be able to get me on they struggle

1540
01:18:36,560 --> 01:18:38,360
Speaker 3: with the play clock a little bit getting the play

1541
01:18:38,400 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 3: calls in right because you know, the offensive you know,

1542
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:43,800
Speaker 3: staff's got to get all their info to the coordinator

1543
01:18:43,840 --> 01:18:45,479
Speaker 3: so we can call the play so they can get

1544
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,120
Speaker 3: out ahead. There might be some of that going on

1545
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:48,680
Speaker 3: because it's the first time they've done it in ten

1546
01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:53,840
Speaker 3: months or eight months, so I get that. But on

1547
01:18:53,880 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 3: the defensive side, you might see a little bit of

1548
01:18:57,600 --> 01:19:02,200
Speaker 3: some helter skelter nature of substitutions running on late guys

1549
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:06,599
Speaker 3: coming off. You'll see you know, Bernard or whoever's got

1550
01:19:06,600 --> 01:19:08,439
Speaker 3: the green dot. The linebacker in the middle of the

1551
01:19:08,479 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 3: defense got the green dot. You'll see him, you know,

1552
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 3: looking at the sidelines going you know, I can't hear

1553
01:19:13,439 --> 01:19:16,040
Speaker 3: or let's go. You know, the offense is breaking the

1554
01:19:16,120 --> 01:19:18,679
Speaker 3: huddle and the defense still hasn't got the play call yet.

1555
01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 3: A little bit of that going on. I would be

1556
01:19:21,360 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 3: more comfortable knowing that that was on the defensive side

1557
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:27,840
Speaker 3: of the offensive side, because the defense has got a

1558
01:19:27,880 --> 01:19:30,640
Speaker 3: lot going on and I don't know how much of

1559
01:19:30,680 --> 01:19:34,320
Speaker 3: this they've gone through, particularly with Bob Babbage calling the plays.

1560
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:39,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I I mean, I'd like to see guys that

1561
01:19:39,280 --> 01:19:41,840
Speaker 2: had a good camp, you know, you kind of root

1562
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:45,320
Speaker 2: for him carry it individually into the preseason games because

1563
01:19:45,360 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 2: that's where it counts. I mean, that's where you're gonna

1564
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 2: make your money or make your best case right to

1565
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: be on this fifty three man roster. If you're one

1566
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 2: of those guys that's scraping and clawing to earn a

1567
01:19:54,880 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 2: spot right, you know, like a Tyrrel Shavers for example.

1568
01:19:58,800 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 2: You know, someone of that ill you know, or a

1569
01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:05,479
Speaker 2: JaMarcus Ingram who has been given an enormous opportunity to

1570
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,840
Speaker 2: be the fourth corner on this team, you know, behind

1571
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:12,439
Speaker 2: the top three cement that nail that down. Don't let

1572
01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,680
Speaker 2: anybody sneak up behind you and take it, right. You

1573
01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 2: kind of root for those guys.

1574
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, And that's it's hard because you don't know what's

1575
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:21,360
Speaker 3: gonna happen. We've seen it too many times where a

1576
01:20:21,360 --> 01:20:22,880
Speaker 3: player will have a pretty good camp, and then all

1577
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:25,479
Speaker 3: of a sudden, as the regular season gets closer and

1578
01:20:25,520 --> 01:20:27,679
Speaker 3: closer and days passing, in a couple of weeks pass,

1579
01:20:27,720 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 3: they've all of a sudden, you realize you haven't even

1580
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,639
Speaker 3: seen him or talked about him for two weeks because

1581
01:20:31,680 --> 01:20:36,320
Speaker 3: they just have stopped making plays. It happens for whatever reason.

1582
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:40,200
Speaker 3: And then other guys, like what we saw with Christian

1583
01:20:40,200 --> 01:20:42,720
Speaker 3: Benford two years ago, all of a sudden, the guys

1584
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:44,000
Speaker 3: he's taking some rep and then all of a sudden

1585
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,679
Speaker 3: you see him and it's like, oh, okay, there's that guy.

1586
01:20:45,680 --> 01:20:47,240
Speaker 3: And then you see him again it's like, wait a minute,

1587
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:49,559
Speaker 3: he's he's rotating in with the twos, you know, and

1588
01:20:49,560 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 3: then you see him a little morning, and all of

1589
01:20:50,680 --> 01:20:53,800
Speaker 3: a sudden, next thing, you know, nobody gets injured and

1590
01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:58,760
Speaker 3: he's with the ones. That kind of thing happens, and

1591
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:00,280
Speaker 3: those are the kind of guys that you think, wow,

1592
01:21:00,320 --> 01:21:02,759
Speaker 3: this is pretty cool, and we're gonna start seeing it tomorrow.

1593
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:05,880
Speaker 3: And the question is we don't know who's gonna be right.

1594
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:10,320
Speaker 2: But that's one of the few allures of the preseason.

1595
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:12,720
Speaker 2: There aren't many, but that's one of them.

1596
01:21:12,800 --> 01:21:15,120
Speaker 3: Let me just say the fourth quarter of these preseason games.

1597
01:21:15,160 --> 01:21:19,439
Speaker 3: You forget how just grinding they are.

1598
01:21:19,880 --> 01:21:23,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, unless you're a nutjob about third string

1599
01:21:24,240 --> 01:21:28,520
Speaker 2: depth charts, Yeah, it can get a little TAXI Gosh

1600
01:21:28,720 --> 01:21:31,800
Speaker 2: Gerald from the Mailbag asked, Chris, what do you plan

1601
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,800
Speaker 2: to work on during the first preseason game? Thank you,

1602
01:21:33,880 --> 01:21:36,160
Speaker 2: Jerry and North Carolina. I have my own checklist, I'll

1603
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 2: admit it. I've got some things that I jotted down

1604
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:43,600
Speaker 2: in the offseason. Here I'll share a couple. I do

1605
01:21:43,680 --> 01:21:47,560
Speaker 2: want to try to work more live stats into the broadcast.

1606
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 2: Sometimes that is a challenge because there is not a

1607
01:21:50,080 --> 01:21:53,840
Speaker 2: lot of time between plays. But in this era of

1608
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 2: fantasy football and just Bill's fans in general, I think

1609
01:21:57,720 --> 01:22:00,679
Speaker 2: want to know, you know, if we hear James Cook

1610
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:02,400
Speaker 2: is killing it like he did against the Cowboys, how

1611
01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:04,840
Speaker 2: many hours does he have a right try to? So

1612
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:08,080
Speaker 2: I do want to try to work more live stats

1613
01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,120
Speaker 2: into the broadcast between plays.

1614
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 3: Do you have a stuff these days?

1615
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:15,320
Speaker 2: Well, I mean we have we have a spotterer and

1616
01:22:15,520 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 2: they help with stats, but if they're trying to spot people,

1617
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:22,679
Speaker 2: you need a stat Doing stats at the same time

1618
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 2: can be a challenge.

1619
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,240
Speaker 3: That's all the guys who do it if you can

1620
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,200
Speaker 3: do it, you get a guy in there who does

1621
01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:29,600
Speaker 3: that kind of thing, and it sounds like, what's the

1622
01:22:29,640 --> 01:22:35,639
Speaker 3: stat guy, There's there's a lot in it. Yeah, that's

1623
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: that'll help with that. That it's it's hard to it's

1624
01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:45,040
Speaker 3: hard to find those guys. But if if you've got

1625
01:22:45,040 --> 01:22:47,400
Speaker 3: a guy who can look at this, there's a screen

1626
01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:49,759
Speaker 3: right now, you've got a screen statscreen, Oh my gosh.

1627
01:22:49,760 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 2: Those are Sometimes it doesn't populate quickly enough before the

1628
01:22:54,040 --> 01:22:57,120
Speaker 2: next play because somebody's got to do that data entry

1629
01:22:57,680 --> 01:23:00,799
Speaker 2: and it doesn't populate in time before the next play,

1630
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:03,599
Speaker 2: and you want to be accurate obviously first and foremost,

1631
01:23:03,600 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 2: so sometimes that can be a challenge. But I'm gonna

1632
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,880
Speaker 2: see what I can do to work that in more.

1633
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:11,240
Speaker 2: I do want to mention the overall score more because

1634
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 2: there are times where I think about all the times

1635
01:23:13,520 --> 01:23:15,640
Speaker 2: when I was a kid listening to a game on

1636
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,080
Speaker 2: the radio where you're jumping the car, you catch the radio,

1637
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 2: turn the radio on, you catch the game in progress,

1638
01:23:21,240 --> 01:23:24,240
Speaker 2: and you're waiting for like ten minutes and the score

1639
01:23:24,280 --> 01:23:25,920
Speaker 2: has not been mentioned. So I do want to kind

1640
01:23:25,920 --> 01:23:27,479
Speaker 2: of mention that a little bit more as well.

1641
01:23:27,600 --> 01:23:29,679
Speaker 3: That's something that gets forgotten in radio because on TV

1642
01:23:29,720 --> 01:23:32,400
Speaker 3: has become happens to you don't even ask. It's so

1643
01:23:32,479 --> 01:23:32,920
Speaker 3: it's got that.

1644
01:23:32,880 --> 01:23:34,200
Speaker 2: Score, Bite up, you got the bug.

1645
01:23:35,040 --> 01:23:38,880
Speaker 3: The radio sometimes you forget to do that just because

1646
01:23:38,920 --> 01:23:41,880
Speaker 3: you're used to looking at the score butt right, you know.

1647
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 2: And you know you always have a habit to mention

1648
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,599
Speaker 2: it coming back from breaking on the way to break.

1649
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,840
Speaker 2: But it's those long stretches in between where you owe

1650
01:23:49,880 --> 01:23:52,320
Speaker 2: it to the listening audience to mention it a little

1651
01:23:52,360 --> 01:23:55,479
Speaker 2: bit more often, knowing that people sometimes are coming in

1652
01:23:55,560 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 2: and out of the broadcast getting it. You know, they're

1653
01:23:57,840 --> 01:24:00,280
Speaker 2: running errands, they're in and out of their car. You know,

1654
01:24:00,320 --> 01:24:02,160
Speaker 2: they're in the store for ten minutes. They come back,

1655
01:24:02,200 --> 01:24:04,040
Speaker 2: Hey did anything change, Well, let's give a score, you

1656
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:05,320
Speaker 2: know what I mean. So those are the kinds of

1657
01:24:05,360 --> 01:24:09,040
Speaker 2: people you're trying to accommodate in those kinds of situations.

1658
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:13,200
Speaker 2: Justin in the mail bag asks Josh is starting Saturday,

1659
01:24:13,360 --> 01:24:15,479
Speaker 2: So does he play the first half to get game

1660
01:24:15,520 --> 01:24:17,840
Speaker 2: action with the new receivers or do you spread that

1661
01:24:17,920 --> 01:24:21,559
Speaker 2: out over all the preseason games. I think his playing

1662
01:24:21,560 --> 01:24:23,480
Speaker 2: time is predicated on his playing.

1663
01:24:23,200 --> 01:24:27,479
Speaker 3: Time, yes, his how it'll be a feel thing. There's

1664
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:29,639
Speaker 3: no set here's the thing. You don't want to give

1665
01:24:29,680 --> 01:24:31,599
Speaker 3: him a set number of plays, like I'm gonna give

1666
01:24:31,600 --> 01:24:35,599
Speaker 3: you twelve plays, because then it's it's third and goal

1667
01:24:36,200 --> 01:24:39,760
Speaker 3: on the two yard line in your twelve and you're

1668
01:24:39,840 --> 01:24:42,000
Speaker 3: about to go your thirteenth play. You're gonna pull him

1669
01:24:42,000 --> 01:24:46,840
Speaker 3: out and then set him down. He's it's bad for

1670
01:24:46,880 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 3: the player, and all you's got to go feel you're

1671
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:50,920
Speaker 3: gonna get through a series. We're gonna give you another

1672
01:24:50,960 --> 01:24:54,599
Speaker 3: series and then you see how it goes. I'm pretty

1673
01:24:54,640 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 3: sure Sean McDermot will just go by the feel of

1674
01:24:57,360 --> 01:24:58,920
Speaker 3: it and he'll talk to Josh and'll say, how do

1675
01:24:58,960 --> 01:25:00,880
Speaker 3: you feel He says, I feel great. If they go

1676
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,479
Speaker 3: down on a fourteen play drive to start the game

1677
01:25:03,800 --> 01:25:06,280
Speaker 3: and score touchdown, I'm pretty sure Josh Allen's gonna sit

1678
01:25:06,320 --> 01:25:07,640
Speaker 3: down for the rest of to day. But if he

1679
01:25:07,720 --> 01:25:10,519
Speaker 3: goes three and out, he'll be back out.

1680
01:25:10,720 --> 01:25:13,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that's the feel, that's the stage.

1681
01:25:14,080 --> 01:25:16,479
Speaker 3: Somewhere in between those is what it's gonna be.

1682
01:25:16,760 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 2: Yeah. I don't think it's largely predicated on time with

1683
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,120
Speaker 2: those receivers. I think they feel they get enough of

1684
01:25:22,160 --> 01:25:24,439
Speaker 2: those looks in practice Obviously you'd like to see if

1685
01:25:24,439 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 2: you can carry it through into a game as well.

1686
01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,519
Speaker 2: But I don't think they're gonna keep Josh on the

1687
01:25:29,560 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 2: field or put them on at different times in a

1688
01:25:32,160 --> 01:25:34,360
Speaker 2: game just to get reps with certain receivers. They can

1689
01:25:34,360 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 2: accomplish that in practice. They can probably accomplish that in

1690
01:25:37,080 --> 01:25:39,960
Speaker 2: the joint practice next week in Pittsburgh if they're really

1691
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 2: hard up to get specific guys on the field with Josh.

1692
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,200
Speaker 2: Jack asks. I'm curious about the travel accommodations. When the

1693
01:25:47,240 --> 01:25:49,760
Speaker 2: Bills go away for road games. How does it work?

1694
01:25:49,800 --> 01:25:52,880
Speaker 2: How many players go, how many coaches, trainers, docs, equipment people,

1695
01:25:53,240 --> 01:25:55,679
Speaker 2: and broadcast travel. Do you all stay in the same hotel?

1696
01:25:55,720 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: Does everyone have a roommate? Must be a big undertaking.

1697
01:25:58,680 --> 01:26:01,200
Speaker 2: It is a big undertaking. Actually in the preseason when

1698
01:26:01,200 --> 01:26:05,320
Speaker 2: the roster is ninety and the coaching staff has summer interns,

1699
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:12,200
Speaker 2: so the plane is packed. Suffice it to say, yes,

1700
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,559
Speaker 2: everyone stays at the same hotel because you're all one

1701
01:26:14,560 --> 01:26:20,760
Speaker 2: big travel party. Players typically have roommates, but staff employees

1702
01:26:20,800 --> 01:26:21,120
Speaker 2: do not.

1703
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:26,320
Speaker 3: It is an enormous undertaking. Yes, that they do every week.

1704
01:26:27,160 --> 01:26:29,679
Speaker 3: Now it becomes less so obviously when there's not ninety

1705
01:26:29,680 --> 01:26:32,680
Speaker 3: guys when there's only fifty three guys and maybe a

1706
01:26:32,720 --> 01:26:39,360
Speaker 3: couple extra. Yeah, the the entire coaching staff, A large

1707
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:44,280
Speaker 3: number of the media and content staff go in house.

1708
01:26:44,439 --> 01:26:47,639
Speaker 3: In the house media in house media contents Buffalo Bills

1709
01:26:47,640 --> 01:26:52,720
Speaker 3: dot Com. The radiocast goes this one next. The next

1710
01:26:52,720 --> 01:26:55,120
Speaker 3: week in Pittsburgh is a little bit different because it

1711
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 3: is a preseason and they're going a day or two early.

1712
01:26:59,320 --> 01:27:02,439
Speaker 3: We probably won't don't go on Thursday for the practice,

1713
01:27:02,720 --> 01:27:06,040
Speaker 3: but we have to be there Friday for production meetings

1714
01:27:06,040 --> 01:27:09,920
Speaker 3: and day before game meetings. We'll probably go in Thursday

1715
01:27:09,960 --> 01:27:15,479
Speaker 3: night and we'll you know, hang out, get up the

1716
01:27:15,479 --> 01:27:18,840
Speaker 3: next morning, do the meetings we're talking about, actually the

1717
01:27:18,880 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 3: ones we did today, and then we'll do the show.

1718
01:27:23,320 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 3: Next week's show on Friday today, a week from today,

1719
01:27:26,680 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 3: will be from Pittsburgh.

1720
01:27:29,960 --> 01:27:33,519
Speaker 2: Yeah, break time for us here. Some final questions from

1721
01:27:33,520 --> 01:27:35,639
Speaker 2: the mailbag when we return here on one Bill's Live,

1722
01:27:35,680 --> 01:27:53,080
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

1723
01:27:53,160 --> 01:27:56,200
Speaker 2: Some final questions from the obl Friday fan mail bag.

1724
01:27:57,280 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 2: Connor asks, as preseason football begins, who do you think

1725
01:28:00,720 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 2: of the following players as a chance to make the

1726
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:09,760
Speaker 2: final fifty three Shavers, Gor Junior, Hamler, MVS Garage, Jonathan

1727
01:28:09,960 --> 01:28:14,040
Speaker 2: or andreasen Well. Of that list, the only guy that

1728
01:28:14,080 --> 01:28:18,800
Speaker 2: made the roster last year was Kingsley Jonathan. I think

1729
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:20,599
Speaker 2: Shavers is gonna have a good look at it.

1730
01:28:20,920 --> 01:28:22,600
Speaker 3: I think Hamler's gonna have a good look at it.

1731
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:25,680
Speaker 2: Hamler because of his return capabilities in addition.

1732
01:28:25,439 --> 01:28:27,880
Speaker 3: And Jonathan. Again, now that doesn't mean any of these

1733
01:28:27,920 --> 01:28:34,519
Speaker 3: other guys, MVS, Garage andreason they've all got all these

1734
01:28:34,520 --> 01:28:36,400
Speaker 3: guys have a shot at it still because it's.

1735
01:28:36,320 --> 01:28:39,360
Speaker 2: Really early, and yeah, we haven't played a preseason yet, right.

1736
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:43,040
Speaker 3: So I'm but Hamler, Shavers, and Jonathan probably the guys

1737
01:28:43,040 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 3: who you think first of Gor Junior strikes me right

1738
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:48,840
Speaker 3: now as a practice squad candidate.

1739
01:28:48,880 --> 01:28:50,080
Speaker 2: He's a little buried on the depth.

1740
01:28:50,479 --> 01:28:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's got a bunch of really good guys ahead

1741
01:28:52,320 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 3: of him.

1742
01:28:52,680 --> 01:28:56,920
Speaker 2: MVS has an interesting part of this in terms of

1743
01:28:56,920 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 2: the equation his his contract fully guaranteed. It's only a

1744
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,920
Speaker 2: one year deal, but it is fully guaranteed. Whether that

1745
01:29:04,439 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 2: tips the scales in his favor, I guess I'm not

1746
01:29:07,560 --> 01:29:09,200
Speaker 2: going to speak to whether or not it does or

1747
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 2: it doesn't. Because I think he's only signed for two

1748
01:29:11,360 --> 01:29:13,960
Speaker 2: and a quarter million, so he's not crushing the bank.

1749
01:29:14,720 --> 01:29:17,040
Speaker 2: And I think they put avoidable year in there so

1750
01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,040
Speaker 2: you could spread that money out over this year end

1751
01:29:19,080 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 2: next year, which would lessen the blow, knowing they don't

1752
01:29:22,160 --> 01:29:24,439
Speaker 2: have a lot of rooms. So we'll see. That's how

1753
01:29:24,479 --> 01:29:26,120
Speaker 2: I see it, and ask how much time do you

1754
01:29:26,120 --> 01:29:28,519
Speaker 2: see the possible starting secondary players playing in the first

1755
01:29:28,560 --> 01:29:30,920
Speaker 2: preseason game. Seems like they're still sorting out to do

1756
01:29:31,000 --> 01:29:35,080
Speaker 2: with everyone except Douglas. I think they'll play about a quarter.

1757
01:29:35,560 --> 01:29:38,040
Speaker 2: That's what coach McDermott said. So that's how it is.

1758
01:29:38,520 --> 01:29:42,280
Speaker 2: Enjoy the game tomorrow. Preseason football is here. Beautiful weather too,

1759
01:29:42,560 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 2: should be beautiful weather seventy one and Sonny. Enjoy the

1760
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:46,960
Speaker 2: game tomorrow. Steve and I will be back on Monday

1761
01:29:46,960 --> 01:29:58,200
Speaker 2: to wrap it all up for you.
