1
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,160
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live, presented by Calllida Health.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,240
Speaker 2: Ah. We're writing the meta game week now, Chris Brown,

3
00:00:39,360 --> 00:00:42,120
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker. One Bill's Live is your show of choice.

4
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,840
Speaker 2: Thank you for choosing us. As the players are on

5
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 2: the practice field as we speak on a sun splashed

6
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,520
Speaker 2: afternoon here in western New York.

7
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:54,920
Speaker 1: How about it, man, We walked out to watch a

8
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,120
Speaker 1: little bit of practice of stretch and stuff like that,

9
00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 1: and it was bright, sunshiny day.

10
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:03,640
Speaker 2: It was a bright, sunshiny day. A lot for us

11
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:06,680
Speaker 2: to get to today. We have a jam packed show

12
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:12,840
Speaker 2: for you. First, we'll give you our rundown of guests

13
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 2: because in number one here in about fifteen minutes, we'll

14
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 2: play you some of coach McDermott's comments from his press

15
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: conference an hour ago, as he addressed a number of

16
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 2: things including injuries and non participants in practice, among other things.

17
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: So we'll turn to him in about fifteen minutes. Second

18
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 2: hour of the show. It's the twenty twenty five debut

19
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 2: of ESPN NFL analyst dan Orlowski, back again for another

20
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 2: season here on our show each and every week. So

21
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 2: he will join us to start the second hour of

22
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 2: the show, and then with a half hour left in

23
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:52,080
Speaker 2: the show. Once practice has concluded Number fourteen good one

24
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,080
Speaker 2: in your playbook, Tyrrell Shavers will be joining us in

25
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: studio here as we discuss with him making the fifty

26
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: three man roster the third time around. The third time

27
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,360
Speaker 2: was the charm for Tyrrel Shavers, who is on the

28
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 2: active fifty three man roster, so we'll catch up with

29
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: him in the final half hour of the program. But

30
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 2: we do have to get you the practice updates which

31
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 2: are presented by leecom your Lake Erie College of Osteopathic

32
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 2: Medicine head coach Sean McDermott said. Not practicing today will

33
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 2: be Trudavious White, though he hasn't been ruled out for Sunday,

34
00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:36,919
Speaker 2: he has not practiced in two weeks. It was described

35
00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,120
Speaker 2: by GM Brandon Bean as a lower leg injury. There

36
00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:44,720
Speaker 2: is nothing else on that concerning the injury. Christian Benford

37
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 2: and Tyler Bass will be limited practice participants. Benford also

38
00:02:50,560 --> 00:02:54,800
Speaker 2: has a lower leg injury. Tyler Bass has an injury

39
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:59,440
Speaker 2: that is not identical to the previous pelvic soreness, but

40
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 2: it is said to be in the same area. So

41
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:08,280
Speaker 2: those are your injury notes. Coach McDermott also confirmed that

42
00:03:08,360 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 2: wide receiver Gabe Davis will be joining the team, but

43
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 2: not quite yet. He said. When he does, he'll be

44
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 2: added with a practice squad injured designation, and they'll see

45
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 2: how long it takes him to get back to full

46
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 2: health from that badly torn meniscus that cost him half

47
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 2: the season last year in his one year in Jacksonville.

48
00:03:29,720 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: So we'll see that go how that goes. ESPN's Field

49
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: Yates reported that the Bills restructured the contract of Dion

50
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:41,600
Speaker 2: Dawkins to create eight million dollars in cap space. Buffalo

51
00:03:41,680 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 2: has had a handful of players waived injured, some took

52
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 2: injury settlements, or have just gone to IR Those players

53
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 2: still count toward Buffalo's cap. So this move to restructure

54
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 2: Dion's contract, like you, likely provide some necessary space to

55
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:03,880
Speaker 2: sign potential replacement. I mean because we also learned because

56
00:04:03,880 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 2: coach McDermott confirmed it that defensive tackle Dwayne Carter will

57
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 2: be out for the foreseeable future after Carter posted on

58
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 2: social media that he underwent achilles tendon surgery. So that's

59
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: the nuts and bolts with the roster.

60
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:21,640
Speaker 1: It's not ideal for Week one.

61
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 2: No, here we are because Benford is limited. White is

62
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: not practicing today.

63
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 1: Both your starting corners are not practicing.

64
00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,680
Speaker 2: And you're playing a quarterback that threw forty one touchdowns

65
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,640
Speaker 2: last year. Now, on the raven side of the ledger,

66
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:41,920
Speaker 2: looks like they are going to be without tight end

67
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: Isaiah Likely. He's not ready to return from a broken

68
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,239
Speaker 2: bone in his foot that required surgery in late July,

69
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 2: so he is expected to return later this season, but

70
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: he he's all but been ruled out for the Week

71
00:04:55,839 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: one game against the Bills. Meanwhile, the other Ravens note

72
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:05,039
Speaker 2: is Baltimore is signing three time All Pro special teamer J. T. Gray.

73
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 2: He was a surprise release by New Orleans and drew

74
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 2: interest from a number of teams. He ultimately decides to

75
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 2: sign with the Ravens. The Bills also picked up a

76
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 2: special veteran special teamer after final cuts last week. They

77
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: put Sam Franklin on the practice squad. He's a guy

78
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:26,200
Speaker 2: that has prior working relationship with special teams coordinator Chris Taber.

79
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,480
Speaker 2: So we'll see. Because the Bills are going to presumably

80
00:05:30,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: have an open roster spot when Dwayne Carter goes on

81
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 2: IR how do they use that roster spot? Do they

82
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: call up a special teams guy or do they just

83
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:39,480
Speaker 2: fill the position again.

84
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,159
Speaker 1: Sam Franklin's a defensive back by trade when he's not

85
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: playing special teams, but.

86
00:05:45,320 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 2: He's largely carved out a career playing on teams primarily.

87
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 2: Just so everybody's up to speed on that elsewhere around

88
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,160
Speaker 2: the NFL, which is presented by Kalida Healthy, official healthcare

89
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,279
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills. Jets guard a Vera Tucker

90
00:06:01,440 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: has again suffered a potentially serious injury and could miss

91
00:06:07,279 --> 00:06:11,559
Speaker 2: significant time. New York's offensive line takes a hit before

92
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: the season even starts against the Steelers in Week one.

93
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 2: It's reported by some to be an arm injury. Vera

94
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:23,360
Speaker 2: Tucker was just named captain by Aaron Glent, So tough

95
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 2: break for the Jets who have really worked hard to

96
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,520
Speaker 2: revamp their offensive line. It looks like he's going to

97
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 2: be out for the foreseeable future, So tough break there.

98
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 2: Fullbacks are people too. Steve Dallas Cowboys have signed fullback

99
00:06:39,160 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: Hunter Lipke to a two year extension worth up to

100
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 2: seven and a half million. Deal includes a little more

101
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,240
Speaker 2: than five million guaranteed. Something tells me Jerry had some

102
00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 2: money to spend. Yeah, that's some extra change.

103
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: Money, a hole in his pocket, right, gotta get rid

104
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 1: of it.

105
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: Couldn't pay Micah, so it's handing it out to everybody else.

106
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:01,600
Speaker 2: Speaking of handing out money, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers did

107
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: that with their right tackle Luke Getticky. They reached an

108
00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: agreement on a four year, ninety million dollar extension with

109
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 2: fifty million guaranteed. It's for a right tackle second round

110
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:15,080
Speaker 2: pick of the Bucks in twenty twenty two. He was

111
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:16,560
Speaker 2: going to be He was in the last year of

112
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 2: his contract, so playing forty one games in his three

113
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: seasons with the Bucks, making thirty one starts and then

114
00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 2: finally Steve. With tons of rumors swirling, swirling, could Taylor

115
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:34,920
Speaker 2: Swift be the Super Bowl sixty halftime show? Entertainment Commissioner

116
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:37,880
Speaker 2: Roger Goodell said during a Wednesday interview on NBC's Today's

117
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 2: Show that Swift is quote welcome to perform at the

118
00:07:42,840 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 2: Super Bowl halftime show, and teased that a show for

119
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:51,600
Speaker 2: next year's game is maybe in the works.

120
00:07:52,080 --> 00:07:53,160
Speaker 1: Quote.

121
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 2: We would always love to have Taylor play. She has

122
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,559
Speaker 2: a special, special talent, and obviously she would be welcome

123
00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:00,680
Speaker 2: at any time. Super Bowl sixty. You know, set for

124
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 2: February eighth at Levi Stadium in Santa Clara, California. Roger's

125
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:09,680
Speaker 2: not a dummy. He knows she moves the needle. Why

126
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,280
Speaker 2: wouldn't you have her in the halftime show?

127
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:18,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, why wouldn't you? Seriously? Oh, I get it. It draws,

128
00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,240
Speaker 1: draws eyeball. It's like, that's like Jerry Jones stringing out

129
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,520
Speaker 1: to Michael Parsons negotiations. Whether you love it or hate it.

130
00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: The fact that she's been a part of the NFL

131
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: since she started dating Travis Kelsey.

132
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 2: And has a jillion followers.

133
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 1: And it's polarizing. You know how much the broadcast industry

134
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,480
Speaker 1: has focused on her and during games another thing, the

135
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: whole conversation. Yeah, that'll draw more eyeballs, there's no question

136
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: about it.

137
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: Or people might watch the halftime show.

138
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, well there's always a ton of people that do

139
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: that anyway, Yes.

140
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,479
Speaker 2: And this would I think this would augment that exponentially, exponentially.

141
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 2: She is a draw.

142
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,079
Speaker 1: There's exponentials left for all the people who watch the

143
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 1: stinking thing. And I say stinking thing maybe in it

144
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:00,959
Speaker 1: this year.

145
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: I Actually it's funny you mentioned that because I actually

146
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 2: saw a report that said Nielsen Ratings have grossly underestimated

147
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,319
Speaker 2: the television viewing audience for NFL games. So think about

148
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 2: that for a second. The NFL routinely every year has

149
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 2: like ninety of the top one hundred watch programs in

150
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:25,160
Speaker 2: the calendar year on all networks, and now there's a

151
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 2: report that the Nielsen ratings system flawed, may have underestimated

152
00:09:30,160 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 2: said audiences.

153
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:35,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's you can't really It's funny because you can't

154
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 1: really think about it. I was on a couple of

155
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: those broadcasts, right one famously, when the lights went out.

156
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,480
Speaker 1: You can't think about it. You know, you're sitting there talking,

157
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: You're doing the broadcast like you do every other game.

158
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:48,920
Speaker 1: And yeah, you know, you never really think about how

159
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,240
Speaker 1: many people you're talking to. There's like back then, even

160
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: it was like ninety million live viewers. That's and that

161
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: if that's an underestimate, which it probably.

162
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 2: Is, it's probably over one hundred right.

163
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,319
Speaker 1: Oh easily, maybe it might be double that for all

164
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 1: we know, because everybody's together. It's like a national holiday.

165
00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:12,720
Speaker 1: Nobody watching the Super Bowl alone. I mean maybe there's

166
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:17,079
Speaker 1: some poor soul who does, but goodness gracious, you know, Yeah,

167
00:10:17,120 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 1: the whole country's watching this the game.

168
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 2: The uh final episode of the Bill's Hard Knocks series

169
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 2: aired last night. I know you were happy to see

170
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,760
Speaker 2: a little Marv retrospective there at the end. It was nice,

171
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: little Marv remix.

172
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: Little Marv remix, really cool. I thought they did a

173
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: nice job. It was fun, it was a little bit inspiring.

174
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:46,480
Speaker 1: You saw a little bit more Josh practice squad got formulated.

175
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 1: You got to see say goodbye. You look like you're

176
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna say goodbye to some guys they brought them back.

177
00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 1: Was nice. Absolutely no drama in any of the five

178
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,560
Speaker 1: episodes for the Bills.

179
00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:01,679
Speaker 2: And that was one hundred percent by design.

180
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,040
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, there's absolutely no drama, which is just the

181
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 1: way they like it, just the way the Bills wanted it.

182
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the the four to one to

183
00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 2: one on what's going on with the Bills, what's going

184
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 2: on around the league. And obviously we said one day

185
00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:27,880
Speaker 2: away from the kickoff game Eagles Cowboys in Philadelphia, So

186
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:33,600
Speaker 2: I don't know what to expect in that game, Like

187
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,200
Speaker 2: do the Cowboys have a hangover from Eagles or no,

188
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 2: do the Cowboys have a hangover from the whole Micah

189
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,000
Speaker 2: Parsons saga and soap opera that had turned into.

190
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,400
Speaker 1: Well, apparently not everybody was sad to see him go, right.

191
00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: We know there's a little bit of a diva, and

192
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:50,000
Speaker 1: you know, if you're going to go to work every day,

193
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: you'd rather do it with people you love and respect

194
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: instead of just tolerate. So there's that they might get

195
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:03,400
Speaker 1: a boost. Who knows, because that certainly professional athletes are

196
00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: masters at conjuring up Yeah, motivation, and if the Cowboys

197
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: are looking at the conversation surrounding their prospects, now even

198
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: from their own fans, it's incredibly easy for them to

199
00:12:20,920 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: stand there and look at look at each other in

200
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: the locker room and go, you know, let's show them. Yeah,

201
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: you know, let's show them. So there's going to be

202
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 1: some of that. The Eagles, speaking of hangovers, this is

203
00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:36,680
Speaker 1: where I thought you were going. They're they're the world champions.

204
00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:37,560
Speaker 1: What do they have to prove?

205
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 3: You know?

206
00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 1: And there's been a there's been a long fat off season.

207
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 2: And their defense incurred some losses personnel wise. So yeah, that,

208
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,080
Speaker 2: as coach McDermott says all the time, every year, every

209
00:12:51,080 --> 00:12:54,160
Speaker 2: team is different, and the Eagles are no exception to that.

210
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:58,280
Speaker 2: So yeah, we'll see what they look like, although a

211
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: lot of the principal pieces are still in place on

212
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: offense and on defense.

213
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,240
Speaker 1: Let's just now the Eagles that will probably be pretty

214
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 1: good this year.

215
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, the bill c in week seventeen. We do want

216
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 2: to pivot though, Now to head coach Sean McDermott, who

217
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 2: addressed the media just an hour ago, right before he

218
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: headed out to the practice field with his team for

219
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 2: the big install day here on Wednesday. So let's hear

220
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: what head coach Sean McDermott had to say.

221
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 4: Now, responsibilities and off field things that Josh Allen has

222
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,120
Speaker 4: to deal with being you know, he's investing in the companies,

223
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 4: he's doing all these promotional skills out of things.

224
00:13:38,280 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 3: The deals, even getting married.

225
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:42,959
Speaker 5: But how does he compart How do you see him

226
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:50,559
Speaker 5: comp compartmentalize all that stuff and places focus on football

227
00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 5: once the season begins.

228
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 6: I think, what's that?

229
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:54,800
Speaker 5: Even before that?

230
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 4: But just down week one?

231
00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I think that's part of the the

232
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 6: uniqueness of Josh and how he is able to He's

233
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 6: always been able to and and now what he's been

234
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 6: able to balance lately and compartmentalized to your point is

235
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:18,000
Speaker 6: nothing short of impressive, just because you know, life continues

236
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 6: to you know, get more and more complicated for all

237
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:26,560
Speaker 6: of us the order we get right, but also for

238
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 6: Josh in particular in some ways, but maybe gets easier

239
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 6: in some ways too. So he's got great support I

240
00:14:33,400 --> 00:14:37,360
Speaker 6: know at home and with his extended family and mom

241
00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 6: and dad and you know, just I had a chance

242
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 6: to witness that firsthand, and what type of support he

243
00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:45,680
Speaker 6: has and and they have together as a couple. So

244
00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 6: but Josh's ability has been apparent from day one, with

245
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 6: not only his ability to process information quickly but also

246
00:14:56,840 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 6: compartmentalize things rather effectively. So I'm not not surprised by it.

247
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 7: Ready, do you believe someone like JaMarcus or even Dorian

248
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 7: Strong would be should there number be called Sunday Night?

249
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, they'll be ready.

250
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,480
Speaker 6: Those guys, they take a lot of pride in the

251
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,520
Speaker 6: preparation piece of things. Doran obviously being new to us,

252
00:15:16,720 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 6: but we've got great leadership on this team that can

253
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 6: set a good example for him.

254
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:24,440
Speaker 8: All the while, what goes into this week with Trey,

255
00:15:24,520 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 8: because obviously a couple of weeks here without practicing, how

256
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 8: do you ramp him up the further.

257
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,600
Speaker 7: You get through the week and maybe he's not practicing.

258
00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, he's a pro, right so when you

259
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 6: just you know, Trey White, and he's always going to

260
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,960
Speaker 6: be studying and whether he's in the training room watching

261
00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,280
Speaker 6: you know, his iPad, or at home or here, you know,

262
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 6: getting his rehab in at the same time. So he

263
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 6: really wants to be out there and and you know,

264
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 6: we want him out there.

265
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 2: So, yeah, there was a report that day Davis was

266
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 2: rejoining the team.

267
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 9: I don't if you'd like to confirm that or not, but.

268
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,160
Speaker 2: If so, what would be what would be able to

269
00:15:58,200 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 2: bring it back to the organization.

270
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 6: Yes, sure, Gabe will will rejoin us, and just not

271
00:16:04,280 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 6: quite yet, but he will rejoin us and more than

272
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:10,720
Speaker 6: likely be at some point on the practice squad injured

273
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 6: in that injured category. You know, he's still dealing with

274
00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 6: the injury and coming back from the injury. And so

275
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 6: you know, I think the vision here is at some

276
00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 6: point down the road when that is you know, I

277
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,880
Speaker 6: don't know, and I don't know that anybody knows at

278
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,840
Speaker 6: this point when that will be that he can maybe

279
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 6: help us on the field.

280
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 7: So that's you know, down the road.

281
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 6: And right now, again we're just focused on our practice today.

282
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:38,920
Speaker 2: So in the.

283
00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:41,800
Speaker 8: Last couple of years, last four years exactly two and

284
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,960
Speaker 8: two in season openers, Rams was pretty good, maybe the

285
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 8: Jets and the Steelers not as much. I know you

286
00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 8: analyze everything when you've gone back and looked at your

287
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 8: performance in week one, because it can be it's a

288
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,160
Speaker 8: different week, right, there's no tape on any other teams.

289
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 8: What has stood out to you about maybe some of

290
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 8: the uneven performances of your team, particularly in week one.

291
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:03,400
Speaker 6: Well, I think they're all different.

292
00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: I know this.

293
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:08,359
Speaker 6: Uh, the season isn't decided in week one, So whether

294
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 6: you win those or you come out on the short end,

295
00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:14,400
Speaker 6: I think it's you know, how you handle that week

296
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 6: one performance, good or bad, and and what what you

297
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:19,720
Speaker 6: do as a team going forward, and how the team

298
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,080
Speaker 6: comes together. That's to me a sign of a good

299
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:24,920
Speaker 6: team is a team that gets better through the year,

300
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 6: whether you win week one or you don't.

301
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,880
Speaker 8: I like to prepare for this, for this game because

302
00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 8: you've had months and months and months knowing that it's coming.

303
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,040
Speaker 8: Is it unusual in that.

304
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 6: Sense, having months and months and months knowing that's coming. Yeah,

305
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,440
Speaker 6: I would say it's someone unusual that you know they

306
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:48,159
Speaker 6: their last game was us for us are you know

307
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:50,679
Speaker 6: they were are second to last game And so the

308
00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 6: data how much data, it really hasn't changed much, right,

309
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 6: and you don't know every year when you open the unknowns,

310
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,119
Speaker 6: you know what you know, plays they may have put in,

311
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 6: what plays maybe we put in. And uh, personnel has

312
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 6: changed a little bit, although I would say they're you.

313
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:08,000
Speaker 2: Know, they're a strong team.

314
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,040
Speaker 6: They've seemed to add every year to to their core,

315
00:18:11,119 --> 00:18:15,439
Speaker 6: which has been very talented and you know, full of

316
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 6: playmakers and guys that create issues. Right, So you know

317
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 6: they've done a good job with their draft I think

318
00:18:22,040 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 6: year to year and added some free agency, some help

319
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:30,119
Speaker 6: from a veteran standpoint, and so you know they're talented

320
00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 6: on both sides of the ball. And then they've you

321
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 6: know it certainly added a young kicker that apparently has

322
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 6: a strong leg. So they do a really good job

323
00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:40,440
Speaker 6: as far as building the roster. They're well coached and

324
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 6: you know, be a big challenge for.

325
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 3: US is that you draw from what what can you

326
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,640
Speaker 3: draw from the last the last two games you had

327
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,840
Speaker 3: against the last year, and how Derek Henry, what Derek

328
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 3: can did the first regular season game, and then how

329
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 3: you were able to almost contain him in that playoff game.

330
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:02,159
Speaker 6: Yeah, he's a tough, tough person to contain, tough runner.

331
00:19:04,080 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 6: You know, there's there's very few who have been able

332
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:09,360
Speaker 6: to do that, and you know, you try and put

333
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:11,600
Speaker 6: a plan in place to to do that. There's a

334
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 6: lot of people that have tried and haven't been able

335
00:19:13,320 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 6: to do it. So saying it is one thing, doing

336
00:19:16,359 --> 00:19:18,919
Speaker 6: it is another. And it takes all eleven guys on

337
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 6: the field to be able to do it.

338
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 7: How difficult is that?

339
00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,360
Speaker 10: You mentioned Henry. They're very good at running the ball obviously,

340
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 10: but they also throw it really well. Last year they

341
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 10: were very very balanced offense. How difficult for a defense

342
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,439
Speaker 10: to run up to against an offense that can do

343
00:19:32,480 --> 00:19:33,400
Speaker 10: both things so well?

344
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, when you've got running backs, I should say,

345
00:19:37,400 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 6: you know, Derek not not the only one back there.

346
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:42,720
Speaker 6: They do a really good job of the two to

347
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:45,280
Speaker 6: three backs that they use complimenting one another, and then

348
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 6: with certainly Lamar's running ability and then the ability to

349
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 6: go and use the use the pass when you commit

350
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,479
Speaker 6: to the run. So it's a it's a tough balance

351
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 6: to strike as a defense in terms of how you

352
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 6: want to allocate your resources going through the.

353
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 7: Hard Knock experience though its hold on.

354
00:20:02,640 --> 00:20:07,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I thought they were very professional in

355
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 6: their approach. I'd be lying if I said I watched

356
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 6: the episodes. I do get text from people saying, hey

357
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,919
Speaker 6: I saw this, I saw that, so you know, but

358
00:20:17,320 --> 00:20:22,919
Speaker 6: it was I guess the experience overall was was professional

359
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,720
Speaker 6: in nature and their approach and met some good people.

360
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 6: I would say, through the through the process here you

361
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,000
Speaker 6: had mentioned to us that you were looking to see

362
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:31,480
Speaker 6: who was going to.

363
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 11: Play alongside t Rap. You guys, release your depth chart.

364
00:20:34,080 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 11: Cole is there. I know what the sample size is small,

365
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:38,359
Speaker 11: but in the last couple of weeks, what have you

366
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,479
Speaker 11: seen from him that makes you, guys confident kind of

367
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:43,159
Speaker 11: with that as you're duo moving.

368
00:20:42,920 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 6: Forward from Cole and then and then Trap. Yeah, you know, Cole,

369
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,960
Speaker 6: like I mentioned before, is continuing to grow, and you

370
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:53,800
Speaker 6: know we see growth every day he go through, he

371
00:20:54,200 --> 00:20:58,080
Speaker 6: goes through new experiences and then playing with t Rap

372
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 6: back there in the tandem that that you have to

373
00:20:59,880 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 6: be and become is important and you learn from each

374
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 6: other obviously, you know, Uh, Cole learning probably a little

375
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:09,600
Speaker 6: bit more from from t Rep than the other way around.

376
00:21:09,640 --> 00:21:13,920
Speaker 6: But that's an important duo and they have to form

377
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 6: their own identity and uh, and that'll be new new

378
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:17,399
Speaker 6: this year for the most part.

379
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:18,560
Speaker 7: As an organization.

380
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:20,520
Speaker 9: You guys made a lot of moves on defense. But

381
00:21:20,600 --> 00:21:22,840
Speaker 9: here we are coming into week one and you've got

382
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,560
Speaker 9: combination of injuries, You've got the guys on suspension. How

383
00:21:26,600 --> 00:21:29,520
Speaker 9: difficult is it to have the urgency of opening week

384
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 9: but also the patience to know, Like you said before,

385
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 9: it's a it's a work in progress as the year

386
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 9: goes on.

387
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 6: Well, I think, you know, you always have to know,

388
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,119
Speaker 6: and I think I know it's a journey, right, So

389
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 6: I think you know, I know just overall the you

390
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,080
Speaker 6: can never get too high and never get too low.

391
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 6: And you know, it's about how how you started a

392
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 6: season and then how that team over the course of

393
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,679
Speaker 6: time comes together through the highs and lows of the

394
00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 6: journey that are going to happen. You just don't know

395
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 6: and what form or fashion. And I think that's one

396
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:07,600
Speaker 6: of the really neat parts about looking back at prior

397
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:10,399
Speaker 6: years where you're saying, hey, yes, we went through that

398
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,919
Speaker 6: and we actually survived it. We actually figured it, figured

399
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,800
Speaker 6: it out and were able to overcome it, whatever it was.

400
00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 6: I think that's part of the the cool experience of

401
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,399
Speaker 6: being part of a team, if you will, that you

402
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 6: can look back on the season and say, hey, man,

403
00:22:27,119 --> 00:22:29,480
Speaker 6: we came out all right, we figured that piece out.

404
00:22:30,880 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 6: That's that's what it some of the kind of the

405
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:37,560
Speaker 6: creative part of the season. I guess you would call

406
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 6: it right to just be able to figure things out.

407
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,280
Speaker 6: You're playing you guys play golf, many of you, and

408
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 6: just how do I figure out this hole or whatever.

409
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 6: So I think that's a neat part of a season,

410
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 6: and and that's some of what you look forward to

411
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 6: because it's not You could start great and then but

412
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,240
Speaker 6: nothing's ever perfect, and then kind of go down this way,

413
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 6: and you know, I think we've done a good job

414
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 6: of kind of just figuring things out during the course

415
00:23:07,800 --> 00:23:11,919
Speaker 6: of the season through injuries and different things, and then

416
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 6: our team getting better as the season goes on. And

417
00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:18,840
Speaker 6: every year, every year is a little bit different. But

418
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 6: but going through the challenges and experiencing that journey I

419
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:27,200
Speaker 6: think is part of the part of the the fun

420
00:23:27,240 --> 00:23:28,800
Speaker 6: of the season, if you will, even though it's not

421
00:23:28,840 --> 00:23:31,480
Speaker 6: fun sometimes when you're going through it, but being able

422
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: to have that resilient nature and figure things out is important.

423
00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:40,639
Speaker 2: So you heard him there. I mean he was asked

424
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:45,000
Speaker 2: if Dorian's strong and or Jamarkus Ingram have to start

425
00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: on Sunday night, do you feel confident? And he said, yeah,

426
00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:53,359
Speaker 2: because I believe they'll be ready. You never want to

427
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:56,160
Speaker 2: go into a game with a team that is that,

428
00:23:56,160 --> 00:24:00,199
Speaker 2: that is that prolific on offense with your thre and

429
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,600
Speaker 2: fourth outside corners, but four, fourth and fifth really, if

430
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,800
Speaker 2: you count Hairston on I are, which I probably would,

431
00:24:07,720 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 2: that's not ideal. But when you don't have a choice,

432
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 2: you got to make the best of it. And mc

433
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 2: dermin already seems prepared to do that if it comes

434
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:17,760
Speaker 2: to pass.

435
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: One of the things in there in his comments as well,

436
00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:26,719
Speaker 1: you you're going to We've talked about how many unknowns

437
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:29,680
Speaker 1: there are for the Bills and the Ravens. They don't

438
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: even know exactly who they're gonna be this year, who

439
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: they're going to depend on, who's gonna have a better

440
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:35,000
Speaker 1: year than last year or worse year than last year,

441
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 1: what their offense is gonna look like, who's gonna play

442
00:24:38,119 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: well defensively? I think last year the Ravens shuffled their

443
00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,320
Speaker 1: secondary by they benched a guy, stuck a guy in there,

444
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:47,159
Speaker 1: and moved a guy, and all of a sudden, and

445
00:24:47,200 --> 00:24:49,119
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, they're a different defense. And they

446
00:24:49,240 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: you know, they got all the way to the playoffs

447
00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,320
Speaker 1: and and played well after that. They've got some things

448
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna have to figure out, and so do the Bills.

449
00:24:56,480 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: The problem is you don't know what you don't know yet.

450
00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: You're going into this game with some ideas, uh, but

451
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 1: they don't know what's gonna happen and what this is

452
00:25:07,880 --> 00:25:11,280
Speaker 1: gonna look like. Neither team, neither neither coaching staff. There's

453
00:25:11,320 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: gonna be some things that Sean McDermott alluded to. You know,

454
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to get the creative some at some

455
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: point during the season to figure out how we're gonna

456
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 1: win this game. Where's our best matchup, How we're gonna

457
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 1: get creative with covering these problems or accentuating these assets,

458
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 1: you know, these strong points. Nobody knows any of that yet,

459
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 1: and particularly with given the nature of the injury bug

460
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:40,200
Speaker 1: right now in the locker room that it's there walking

461
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: it's like walking in blindfolded.

462
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:42,320
Speaker 4: M h.

463
00:25:43,520 --> 00:25:47,679
Speaker 2: We'll see if Khalil shak Here is even listed on

464
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 2: the injury report. I think by rule he may have

465
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 2: to be coming off the high ankle sprain even if

466
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 2: he is one hundred percent healthy and fully participating, because he,

467
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,000
Speaker 2: as we know, suffered the high ankle sprain in the

468
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 2: Return of the Blue and Red practice August first, and

469
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:10,119
Speaker 2: started practicing last week, was out there going today, So

470
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:11,919
Speaker 2: that'll be something to keep an eye on. And the

471
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:15,840
Speaker 2: other good news concerning the receiver position is Curtis Samuel

472
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 2: is finally good to go. So he was sick and

473
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,400
Speaker 2: missed the Tampa game. He had a hamstring injury, miss

474
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,399
Speaker 2: most of camp, and then coach McDermott revealed that he

475
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 2: also was dealing with a personal matter that has all

476
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,639
Speaker 2: been resolved, and so he's going to be good to

477
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,560
Speaker 2: go coming into week one, which you talked about it

478
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:40,560
Speaker 2: when we were in the office before he came on

479
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:43,000
Speaker 2: the air. You think he could be a big help here.

480
00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's going to be a big boost.

481
00:26:45,960 --> 00:26:47,520
Speaker 1: He you know, last year at the end of the

482
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:49,840
Speaker 1: season when he was finally one hundred percent or at

483
00:26:49,880 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 1: least almost one hundred percent, caught a touchdown in every

484
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: playoff game, they like his skill set and he's and

485
00:26:58,240 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: Josh throws it to him. I mean that's you know.

486
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 1: Bottom line is that there you have it. We'll see

487
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,280
Speaker 1: if that continues into the beginning of this season the

488
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: way he ended with a flurry last season.

489
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:10,440
Speaker 2: Gotta take a break here. When we come back, we're

490
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:13,800
Speaker 2: gonna see if Steve can tell us what it is

491
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:19,280
Speaker 2: like to be a rookie in your first NFL game

492
00:27:19,320 --> 00:27:25,840
Speaker 2: in primetime against a quality playoff caliber opponent. How do

493
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: you keep everything in check without losing your mind and

494
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:31,000
Speaker 2: ripping your hair out of your head. We'll discuss that

495
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 2: next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida Health.

496
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:50,000
Speaker 2: It's Buffalo Bill's Rady. Back here on One Bill's Live,

497
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,639
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker on Wednesday, players on the practice field.

498
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 2: We'll have one of them here in studio in the

499
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:57,080
Speaker 2: second hour the show. Be sure to stay tuned for that.

500
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,840
Speaker 2: Tyrrel Shaver is going to join us. But we pause

501
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 2: now to discuss with you game day mentality, which is

502
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:11,959
Speaker 2: presented by Best Self, Best Self Behavioral Health, official mental

503
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 2: health partner of the Buffalo Bills. So we know this

504
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 2: is a titanic matchup for Week one, Steve. But we

505
00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 2: know these two teams to a great degree are largely

506
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 2: familiar with one another. That is not the case for

507
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 2: Buffalo's draft class, and you know for Baltimore's draft class

508
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:34,000
Speaker 2: for that matter. How as a rookie, if you know

509
00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:36,959
Speaker 2: you're playing, say like a TJ. Sanders, a Tan Walker,

510
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,680
Speaker 2: how as a rookie that wants to make the best

511
00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 2: impression possible on his veteran teammates like you can count

512
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:48,840
Speaker 2: on me, how do you enter a game that is

513
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 2: so big in prime time it's your first ever? How

514
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:57,920
Speaker 2: do you summon up the control to not literally have

515
00:28:58,000 --> 00:28:59,960
Speaker 2: your eyes pop out of your head with excitement or

516
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: rentaling and everything else.

517
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,280
Speaker 1: It's hard, and every guy handles it a little differently, right,

518
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,560
Speaker 1: Some handle it really well. Some of them realize that,

519
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:11,800
Speaker 1: hey man, it's time to cut it loose and just

520
00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:14,479
Speaker 1: play and have fun. That's what you've been working for.

521
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,280
Speaker 1: You deserve to be here, You earned it. You know

522
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:18,719
Speaker 1: what you're doing. That's why you're there, right, You're That's

523
00:29:19,080 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: what you're You're what it's all about. You got to

524
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,720
Speaker 1: play with that kind of mentality. But it's hard to

525
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: think about that when it's all you've ever hoped and

526
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,560
Speaker 1: dream is to be a part of a game like this,

527
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:30,880
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, you look over there and it's

528
00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: not just you know, it's it's not Vanderbilt over there.

529
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,880
Speaker 1: You know, it's the Baltimore running back. It's Derrick Henry

530
00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: and Lamar Jackson on a three D full back. So

531
00:29:43,920 --> 00:29:49,680
Speaker 1: that does go through your mind. And of course, even

532
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,720
Speaker 1: though it's a home game for guys like you know,

533
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: TJ and Dion Walker and you know and Jordan Hancock

534
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 1: and the rest of these guys, even though it's a

535
00:29:57,000 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: home game, this first home game, they're gonna be winning.

536
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:01,400
Speaker 1: And let me tell you, we all know, those of

537
00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: us of a certain age, you know what it's like

538
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: in that joint on an opener. It's gonna be off.

539
00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 1: It's gonna be off the chain, the chain, it's the

540
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: roof is off the place literally right. So, yeah, they're

541
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: gonna have a lot to deal with. The veterans will

542
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:20,360
Speaker 1: help them. They'll be ready. It's not like they've never

543
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 1: played football before, but they've never experienced it like this,

544
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 1: and it's it's different. I'm sure they're gonna handle it fine.

545
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: And well, you have to ask him after the fact.

546
00:30:31,400 --> 00:30:36,360
Speaker 1: How they think it went. But remember it's not too

547
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: many of them are gonna be out there first snap,

548
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: first play, let's go. Yeah, they'll get rotated in. They'll

549
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,560
Speaker 1: get a chance to kind of like get the flow

550
00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: of it. Watch like if, for instance, if you're a

551
00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 1: rookie de tackle, you're you're out there and you're you know,

552
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: Dion Walker is gonna be watching Daikwon Jones like a hawk.

553
00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:56,720
Speaker 1: What's he doing, how's it going, what's the call? All

554
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: the whole thing, so that when he gets in there,

555
00:30:59,280 --> 00:31:02,160
Speaker 1: it's not all you know, fresh.

556
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:04,840
Speaker 2: And we heard coach McDermott just say in the last

557
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,160
Speaker 2: segment when we played his comments from his press conference

558
00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:12,200
Speaker 2: today that young guys Dorian Strong was the example and

559
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,160
Speaker 2: the answer that he gave. He's got a trust in

560
00:31:15,240 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: his preparation. You have to trust that you've prepared yourself

561
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 2: with the assistance of the coaching staff and teammates properly

562
00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:28,080
Speaker 2: to play if needed, whether you have zero NFL games

563
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 2: on your resume or one hundred. So that's how they've

564
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 2: always approached it here and it will be no different

565
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:38,240
Speaker 2: for you know, the rookies on Buffalo's roster on Sunday night,

566
00:31:38,320 --> 00:31:41,720
Speaker 2: So that is game day mentality presented by Best Self

567
00:31:41,760 --> 00:31:47,400
Speaker 2: Behavioral Health, official mental health partner of the Buffalo Bills.

568
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 2: I am I am trying to get a handle on what,

569
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 2: besides turnovers, could ultimately sway this game. Because the two

570
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 2: teams are pretty evenly matched. You could practically call the

571
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 2: quarterbacks a wash, right, Isaiah likely down for the Ravens

572
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: in all likelihood, no pun intended. That's a plus for

573
00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,120
Speaker 2: the Bill's defense. Some would argue that the Ravens offense

574
00:32:22,400 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 2: top to bottom is more talented. I think it's closer

575
00:32:25,920 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 2: than people think because I think, as we've discussed many

576
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,960
Speaker 2: times Steve through the course of the offseason, that Josh

577
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 2: Palmer and Elijah Moore raised the talent level of the

578
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,400
Speaker 2: Bills receiving corps from what it was a year ago.

579
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:43,400
Speaker 2: So I'm trying to find where the edge sits, and

580
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: it might be, you know, which defense is more effective

581
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,640
Speaker 2: in neutralizing these high power The.

582
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,720
Speaker 1: Bills scored a ton of points. They have ever since

583
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:55,520
Speaker 1: Josh has come, you know, since twenty twenty. They scored

584
00:32:55,560 --> 00:32:59,400
Speaker 1: a ton of points. That's always been the case. They

585
00:32:59,440 --> 00:33:02,320
Speaker 1: didn't last last year. In the first game, in Game

586
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,880
Speaker 1: Week four against Baltimore. But I'll say this, I went

587
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,880
Speaker 1: back and watched it, and they were about to climb

588
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: back into that game big time, just in the early

589
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,080
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. And there's about three or four

590
00:33:14,080 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: plays that happened what I think maybe one of them

591
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,520
Speaker 1: was a turnover. I'm not sure. Three or four plays

592
00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:21,479
Speaker 1: happened that all went against the Bills and it took

593
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: them out of it, and then they were back down

594
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: double digit and it was never behad, but they were

595
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:28,560
Speaker 1: climbing back into that and gonna get it close. Yeah,

596
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:30,680
Speaker 1: and they were about to score and I think something happened.

597
00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,920
Speaker 2: I think they the plus side of the fifty and

598
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 2: then they called that trick play and got stripped.

599
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: There you go, So all that, you know, all and

600
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,840
Speaker 1: all went down the tubes from there. But so they're

601
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: hard to put away, and there'll be even more difficult

602
00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: in their own building. We saw last year in the

603
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 1: opener the Bills were down seventeen to three to the

604
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:55,320
Speaker 1: Arizona Cardinals and Josh stepped into a phone booth and

605
00:33:55,320 --> 00:33:57,120
Speaker 1: stepped down. He had a cape on and all. When

606
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,720
Speaker 1: you know when they scored four touchdowns, right, they're hard

607
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 1: to beat. Josh is hard to beat, and this with

608
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: an up raised level of talent around him, he won't

609
00:34:07,120 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: have to put the cape on. Theoretically, that would be

610
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:14,200
Speaker 1: the hope. That would be the hope. So we'll see this.

611
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:21,080
Speaker 1: This Ravens offense was spectacular a year ago. Spectacular. They

612
00:34:21,080 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 1: didn't score as many points as the Bills did, but

613
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 1: they were unbelievably productive. I think it may come down

614
00:34:27,480 --> 00:34:30,320
Speaker 1: if you're gonna look at stats and data points and

615
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,279
Speaker 1: all the minutia that you look at. Certainly you're right,

616
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: turnover is gonna be a big deal, But I think

617
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:39,239
Speaker 1: it's gonna be which team is more efficient offensively. You

618
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 1: gotta find a way to stay on the field. And

619
00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:45,720
Speaker 1: with the Bills struggling at corner with their top two corners,

620
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 1: and you can, like we said, you can argue their

621
00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:52,719
Speaker 1: top three corners not even practicing, that tilts it in

622
00:34:52,760 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: favor of the Ravens. To me, Isaiah likely or not.

623
00:34:56,320 --> 00:35:00,960
Speaker 1: For the Ravens offense, that's that gives them a big

624
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:04,160
Speaker 1: boost in their matchup capabilities. They'll be able to match

625
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:08,080
Speaker 1: up deeper into the lineup than they would have if

626
00:35:08,560 --> 00:35:11,640
Speaker 1: Christian Benford and Trey White and Max Harriston were.

627
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 2: On the field to give you an idea on just

628
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:18,719
Speaker 2: how evenly matched the offensive units are. The Bills and

629
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,320
Speaker 2: Ravens had the top two point differentials in the AFC

630
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 2: last year. They were both one fifty seven. Both of

631
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 2: them were plus one fifty seven, So over seventeen games

632
00:35:31,719 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 2: they had the exact same point differential. Now we touchdowns

633
00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:39,719
Speaker 2: that Week four game had gone differently, the Bills presumably

634
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:43,239
Speaker 2: would have been ahead because they were minus twenty five

635
00:35:43,280 --> 00:35:46,399
Speaker 2: against the Ravens in the regular season, and they still

636
00:35:46,520 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 2: ended up plus one fifty seven and tied with Baltimore.

637
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:53,360
Speaker 1: Neither one of these teams get beat by double digits.

638
00:35:53,360 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: The last team to do it to Buffalo was Baltimore

639
00:35:55,719 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 1: last year, and in games the Lamar starts has been

640
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:03,359
Speaker 1: like an NFL record fifty plus games since anybody's beaten

641
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 1: them by more than one possession. That's the most since

642
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:11,360
Speaker 1: nineteen fifty nobody beats the Ravens by double digits. So

643
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,839
Speaker 1: it's going to be that kind of game. Yeah, it's

644
00:36:15,880 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 1: got to be that kind of game.

645
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:20,080
Speaker 2: Uh, let's go to the phones at eight O three

646
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:22,120

Speaker 12: me your email? I gotta email you something that's pretty important.

657
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't, we'll see, we'll see.

658
00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:54,120
Speaker 12: Just all right, No, I'm serious.

659
00:36:54,239 --> 00:36:57,239
Speaker 2: I think you can. Why don't you here's a better idea, Mike.

660
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 2: Why don't you direct message one Bill's live Twitter handle?

661
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:04,200
Speaker 12: I don't. I'm not on Twitter.

662
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,759
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, maybe maybe we'll just have.

663
00:37:10,480 --> 00:37:12,759
Speaker 2: The board up take your information, and Steve will get

664
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 2: in touching.

665
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:16,720
Speaker 12: This isn't This is important because my daughter has cancer

666
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 12: and she's not doing real well, and I wanted to

667
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 12: see if he could help me with a few, uh

668
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 12: with a few like helmet signatures, so that I could

669
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 12: use that to uh.

670
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:34,359
Speaker 2: Ye, So give your information to the boardop before they

671
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,200
Speaker 2: hang up on you, and we'll figure something.

672
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 12: Okay, tell them tell them that then, please? Yeah, okay,

673
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 12: uh my, here's my take on the game. Uh. The

674
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 12: Ravens have been talking for about two months now, Uh

675
00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:54,359
Speaker 12: because they're you know, they think that this is going

676
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:59,880
Speaker 12: to be a revenge game against the Bills because uh,

677
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,120
Speaker 12: obviously they're talking about the Bills. They shouldn't have won

678
00:38:03,200 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 12: the game. The only reason that they won the game

679
00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,600
Speaker 12: is because of Andrews dropping the ball. That is not

680
00:38:09,960 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 12: the only reason they won the game, because they still

681
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 12: could have got the ball back. But I got a feeling,

682
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:21,279
Speaker 12: and it's in Buffalo. It's the opening game, and it's

683
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:26,560
Speaker 12: the last opening game that the stadium is going to

684
00:38:26,600 --> 00:38:29,160
Speaker 12: put the game into, you know, have a game. Yeah,

685
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 12: I think I think that they are going to absolutely

686
00:38:34,200 --> 00:38:41,120
Speaker 12: crush the Ravens. Okay, well my prediction it's forty one

687
00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 12: to seventeen.

688
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 2: Well, there'd be a lot of happy Bills fans on Monday.

689
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 2: Thanks for that, Mike. I'll put you on hold so

690
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 2: the board op can get your information. So stay where

691
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: you are and when as soon as he has a

692
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 2: chance to take down your information, he will forty one

693
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 2: to seventeen. R Jackson break a leg in that game

694
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:05,040
Speaker 2: or what. I don't know about forty one to seventeen.

695
00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,880
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I'll be happy to see it. But

696
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,840
Speaker 2: as Steve was just saying, nobody runs and leaves. Nobody

697
00:39:11,920 --> 00:39:13,920
Speaker 2: runs off and leaves the Bills, and nobody runs off

698
00:39:13,920 --> 00:39:17,280
Speaker 2: and leaves the Ravens. Either. It doesn't happen very often,

699
00:39:17,320 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 2: and with two teams of this caliber, I wouldn't expect

700
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 2: it to happen again.

701
00:39:20,280 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's going to be a very close game.

702
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:27,040
Speaker 2: So and just about everybody that I have seen pick

703
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:29,879
Speaker 2: this game, whether they pick the Ravens or they picked

704
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,000
Speaker 2: the Bills, it's by no more than three points, and

705
00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:34,719
Speaker 2: about half of them. NFL dot Com had about twelve

706
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 2: people pick the game. You know, there are various writers

707
00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,759
Speaker 2: and whatever. Everyone had it as a three point game,

708
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,279
Speaker 2: or less half of them had it as a one

709
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 2: point game, like twenty eight twenty seven or thirty to

710
00:39:46,640 --> 00:39:50,479
Speaker 2: twenty nine or something like that. Everybody under the sun

711
00:39:51,239 --> 00:39:54,399
Speaker 2: thinks this is going to be a very tightly fought game,

712
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,400
Speaker 2: and I'm I would say I side with the majority.

713
00:39:57,600 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: Yeah, I do too, obviously, I'm with you. Forty one seventeen. Well,

714
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,240
Speaker 1: there you go. There's our first one, our first prediction.

715
00:40:06,360 --> 00:40:09,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, eighth three five point fifty one eight eight eight

716
00:40:09,400 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 2: five fifty two five fifty. If you want to jump

717

732
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,960
Speaker 2: we go back to the phones and to Dave in Buffalo.

733
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:20,759
Speaker 2: What's up, Dave, Hey, good to hear you.

734
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:24,040
Speaker 13: Chris. I'm in Buffalo visiting my son, but I'm really

735
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 13: from Arizona and come every year for a Bills game.

736
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:32,600
Speaker 13: And I understand this son, He's going to be tough

737
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:36,839
Speaker 13: with the cornerback situation. But here here's my input, if

738
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 13: you will, is I'm concerned long haul against the better

739
00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:47,359
Speaker 13: teams that our defensive cord coordinator Bobby Vavage isn't up

740
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,720
Speaker 13: to snuff, as say Steve's Bagnola. If you go around

741
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:54,400
Speaker 13: curious what your thoughts are, If you go around NFL

742
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:57,560
Speaker 13: coaching and ask who is who you think is a

743
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,879
Speaker 13: great de coordinator, Babbage's name come up much anyway, That's

744
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,400
Speaker 13: what I'm curious about, and go Bills.

745
00:42:06,560 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 2: Thanks Dave. He's only got one year on the job.

746
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:12,920
Speaker 2: I mean, when you were at your job for a year,

747
00:42:12,960 --> 00:42:14,799
Speaker 2: did everybody think you were awesome at your job?

748
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:16,439
Speaker 1: Yeah?

749
00:42:16,440 --> 00:42:17,879
Speaker 2: What I mean like you kind of got to cut

750
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,759
Speaker 2: your teeth doing what you're doing first, and it's done

751
00:42:20,760 --> 00:42:21,279
Speaker 2: it for a year.

752
00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:25,200
Speaker 1: I'll say that. You can say what you want about Babbage.

753
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:28,640
Speaker 1: One of the reasons they win a lot of games

754
00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,280
Speaker 1: in this building is because they bring good quality people

755
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,000
Speaker 1: in the door. They watch them and they let them train,

756
00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:39,960
Speaker 1: and they give them what they earn. Babbage earned the

757
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,960
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator. Remember it was between him and a couple

758
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: other guys that were on the statler h and he's

759
00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,200
Speaker 1: the one they gave it. He earned it. So and

760
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,439
Speaker 1: whether you like it or not.

761
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 2: There were three other teams looking to pluck them away

762
00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 2: from the Bills to be a DC.

763
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 1: Whether or not you like it or not, that's and

764
00:42:59,080 --> 00:43:01,960
Speaker 1: I'm say, it's just done deal. He earned it. So

765
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,720
Speaker 1: it's his job and he's and he earned it because

766
00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:06,239
Speaker 1: a couple of reasons. One, he's good at it, and he

767
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:09,600
Speaker 1: knows this defense, he knows the players, and he's paid

768
00:43:09,600 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 1: his dues uh and earned a promotion in his work.

769
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,000
Speaker 1: And the other is he's he's committed to getting better

770
00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,880
Speaker 1: at it. So you know, you might you may not

771
00:43:20,080 --> 00:43:23,359
Speaker 1: like the results of last year, and I get that,

772
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:28,400
Speaker 1: but from a guy like me who played for a minute,

773
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:31,520
Speaker 1: even the guys in the locker room tell you it's

774
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:34,000
Speaker 1: more about the players than it is the guy with

775
00:43:34,080 --> 00:43:34,759
Speaker 1: the headset on.

776
00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 2: So yeah, and he's done a great job of developing

777
00:43:40,719 --> 00:43:41,359
Speaker 2: players too.

778
00:43:41,719 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: That yeah, I'm I get it. Until until they win

779
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:47,560
Speaker 1: everything or whatever, until all that happened, until they got

780
00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: the number one defense, and you know they've got all

781
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:52,399
Speaker 1: these stars. If they had all these defensive stars, Bob

782
00:43:52,440 --> 00:43:55,759
Speaker 1: Babbage would be a much better coordinator. So maybe that

783
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 1: will happen when Christian Benford. Now you got Milano, you

784
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:02,279
Speaker 1: got Bernard healthy, both those guys on the field for

785
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 1: a change, Tarren Johnson, and you got Joey Bose out there, who,

786
00:44:06,600 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: if he stays healthy, could be the kind of catalyst

787
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: that turns some of this up. But I was when

788
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:17,320
Speaker 1: I was sitting in a room. There were five former

789
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: head coaches sitting around a table, all of them who

790
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 1: you would recognize, and they all agreed they became really

791
00:44:23,120 --> 00:44:25,680
Speaker 1: good coaches when they got really good players.

792
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,880
Speaker 2: And that's where it usually starts and ends for the

793
00:44:29,880 --> 00:44:32,400
Speaker 2: most part. I mean, there are some coaches that are

794
00:44:32,440 --> 00:44:37,360
Speaker 2: excellent at fitting their scheme and calls to the talent

795
00:44:37,400 --> 00:44:39,479
Speaker 2: of the players they have at their disposal. Andy Reid

796
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:42,359
Speaker 2: is often trumpeted as one of the best to ever

797
00:44:42,440 --> 00:44:46,000
Speaker 2: do that when it comes to offensive scheme fitting player

798
00:44:46,080 --> 00:44:46,760
Speaker 2: skill sets.

799
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: Aaron Glenn was accepted as a really good defensive coordinator.

800
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 1: He was in Detroit last year. Their defense reeked wasn't

801
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 1: his problem because they weren't that nineteen guys.

802
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,480
Speaker 2: Hur decimated by injuries.

803
00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: But he's still the same coordinator.

804
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,640
Speaker 2: So and he didn't get a head coaching job until

805
00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:09,040
Speaker 2: he had already served as a coordinator for probably about

806
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:09,880
Speaker 2: five or six years.

807
00:45:10,040 --> 00:45:11,920
Speaker 1: Well, he got the head coaching job because he was

808
00:45:11,920 --> 00:45:15,080
Speaker 1: a really accepted and known as a really good defensive coordinator.

809
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:18,760
Speaker 1: But his defense stunk because he didn't have really good players.

810
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:20,200
Speaker 2: But my point is he had done it for a

811
00:45:20,200 --> 00:45:22,720
Speaker 2: half a dozen years before he got on head coaching

812
00:45:22,800 --> 00:45:25,520
Speaker 2: radar or became a national name that would come up, right,

813
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:27,799
Speaker 2: My point is Babbage has done it for a year,

814
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: Like give it.

815
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:31,319
Speaker 1: Some time, right he or yeah, they got both. These

816
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,879
Speaker 1: guys got, you know, Aaron Glenn in Detroit, even though

817
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:36,520
Speaker 1: he had a down years defensive coordinator and his defense

818
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:42,279
Speaker 1: wasn't very good, he still earned a you know, a

819
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,760
Speaker 1: promotion to speak to speak And that's and Bob Babbage

820
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:47,960
Speaker 1: did too. You can imagine too that he's working to

821
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:51,439
Speaker 1: earn a yet another one. It would be nice if

822
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,680
Speaker 1: we had to worry about Bob Babbage getting plucked away

823
00:45:54,719 --> 00:45:57,719
Speaker 1: as a head coaching candidate. That would be a nice

824
00:45:57,719 --> 00:45:59,440
Speaker 1: problem to have from this point.

825
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:00,920
Speaker 2: Well, because that means he's sending it out of the

826
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:04,000
Speaker 2: park as a defensive play call. We have to take

827
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 2: a break here. When we come back, our number two

828
00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:10,920
Speaker 2: will begin with our good friend Dan Orlovski, NFL analyst

829
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:14,680
Speaker 2: for ESPN, back for another season with us. We catch

830
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 2: up with Dan and get his thoughts on Bill's Ravens

831
00:46:17,320 --> 00:46:19,480
Speaker 2: next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Colid of Health.

832
00:46:19,480 --> 00:46:57,200
Speaker 14: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

833
00:46:58,040 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calllida Health.

834
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,480
Speaker 2: All right, welcome into our number two here on Wednesday.

835
00:47:05,560 --> 00:47:07,879
Speaker 2: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here on one Bill's Live.

836
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:12,680
Speaker 2: And please to welcome back ESPN NFL Analyst. Is that

837
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 2: special music for Dan?

838
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: It's time for Dan. That's okay, that's you're seriously my timer.

839
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,360
Speaker 2: Welcome in ESPN and Valentine Time, Dan Orlowski. Dan Orlovski's

840
00:47:23,400 --> 00:47:26,600
Speaker 2: appearances on One Bill's Live are presented by Caesars Sportsbook,

841
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 2: an official mobile sports betting partner of the Buffalo Bills.

842
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:32,719
Speaker 2: How's that for an intro? Dan, Welcome back, Glad to

843
00:47:32,719 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 2: have you with us for another season. And I want

844
00:47:36,200 --> 00:47:40,399
Speaker 2: to begin with the off season work of Brandon Bean

845
00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 2: here because clearly he saw their defensive front as a

846
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:49,680
Speaker 2: major deficiency for their entire operation. He adds three free agents,

847
00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:54,240
Speaker 2: he adds three draft choices for the defensive line alone.

848
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 2: And we know Michael Hoyt and Ogunjobi you're not a

849
00:47:56,160 --> 00:47:58,680
Speaker 2: part of the equation. They're out on suspension until week seven.

850
00:47:59,440 --> 00:48:04,880
Speaker 2: But what did you gather from maybe some of the

851
00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:08,560
Speaker 2: preseason tape from some of the new additions that are

852
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:10,840
Speaker 2: gonna probably be lining up to a great degree on

853
00:48:10,880 --> 00:48:11,480
Speaker 2: Sunday night.

854
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:14,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, good to be with you, guys, Steve. Don't worry.

855
00:48:14,760 --> 00:48:17,360
Speaker 7: I have like three timers set throughout my day just

856
00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:20,600
Speaker 7: randomly to remove me. I don't even know what sometimes,

857
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:21,600
Speaker 7: so at.

858
00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,880
Speaker 1: Least you right, at least you rate one of my timers.

859
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 1: Let me just say that, right, yeah, awesome.

860
00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,759
Speaker 7: You know, I think it's attached to this and I

861
00:48:30,760 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 7: would say, and we've talked about that. I think Brandon

862
00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:40,000
Speaker 7: kind of vantage point or the way he looked at

863
00:48:40,040 --> 00:48:43,600
Speaker 7: the defense was it's it's good enough for so long.

864
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 7: And you know, kind of what I'm referencing is they

865
00:48:47,600 --> 00:48:50,359
Speaker 7: rode the turnover wave, like we talked about last year,

866
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:52,719
Speaker 7: and I think one of the things that they had

867
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:56,799
Speaker 7: to honestly look at was they were so dominant in

868
00:48:56,840 --> 00:48:59,520
Speaker 7: many ways on the offensive side of the line of scrimmage.

869
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,360
Speaker 7: Defensive line really became a strength and allowed them to

870
00:49:04,080 --> 00:49:08,520
Speaker 7: in many ways do whatever they wanted to offensively, defensively

871
00:49:08,600 --> 00:49:12,400
Speaker 7: and defensive line wise, that still wasn't the case. And

872
00:49:12,480 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 7: I think his just desire to get that defensive line

873
00:49:16,840 --> 00:49:20,560
Speaker 7: on the same level of the offensive line and maybe

874
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:23,799
Speaker 7: not be so reliant on takeaways. If you get them,

875
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,600
Speaker 7: creat they're awesome, but more so like having the ability

876
00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 7: to play a dominant brand of football where it doesn't

877
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 7: have to be if we get two turnovers, will win

878
00:49:33,719 --> 00:49:35,319
Speaker 7: the game, and if we don't, we won't. And so

879
00:49:35,920 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 7: you know, there the preseason tape is always tough, just

880
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:42,839
Speaker 7: because who are they, who are they going against, what's

881
00:49:42,880 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 7: the game plan? All that stuff were they playing with?

882
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,520
Speaker 7: And so, you know, I think that the pieces that

883
00:49:47,560 --> 00:49:51,560
Speaker 7: were added were added strategically and specifically, but I do

884
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 7: think it's through the prism of just trying to play

885
00:49:54,760 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 7: more dominant football at the line of scrimmage on the

886
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,040
Speaker 7: defensive side.

887
00:49:58,480 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, you talk about it, we'll get we'll talk more

888
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:02,359
Speaker 1: about the defense a minute. I want to ask you this.

889
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:04,080
Speaker 1: I mean, you got the you know, so you got

890
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:07,520
Speaker 1: Josh of the MVP and by all accounts, the level

891
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,120
Speaker 1: of across the board of playmakers around him, as particularly

892
00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:15,240
Speaker 1: the wide receiver position, with with Joshua Palmer, with Shakir

893
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,160
Speaker 1: coming back, with Keon Coleman really taking a step forward,

894
00:50:18,160 --> 00:50:20,120
Speaker 1: at least in training camp, looks to be a different

895
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,040
Speaker 1: kind of player. They look much better and more talented

896
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 1: and more complete on the outside. After having an offensive

897
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:30,360
Speaker 1: season that was pretty good and as you said, this

898
00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,279
Speaker 1: is the team that was forty nine to fifty one

899
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: percent run past pass run. You've been a part of

900
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,319
Speaker 1: offense in the NFL. Where do you go from there?

901
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 1: You can run it when you want, you can throw

902
00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:45,359
Speaker 1: it when you want. Like, what is another step that

903
00:50:45,400 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 1: they could take offensively that would be discernible to an

904
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:48,919
Speaker 1: average fan.

905
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's the question. So Palmer has been a guy

906
00:50:52,600 --> 00:50:56,520
Speaker 7: and maybe fans don't know Palmer as a household name.

907
00:50:56,600 --> 00:51:00,279
Speaker 7: He's a guy that has been just crazy talented. He

908
00:51:00,320 --> 00:51:02,239
Speaker 7: came out of the University of Tennessee a couple years

909
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:05,280
Speaker 7: ago with the Chargers. It was a little bit health

910
00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:08,000
Speaker 7: and a little bit just a lack of quarterback play

911
00:51:08,000 --> 00:51:11,120
Speaker 7: out there until Herbert got there and got healthy. He

912
00:51:11,239 --> 00:51:14,080
Speaker 7: is very talented, and I also like the fact that

913
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:17,279
Speaker 7: I like the big framed guys on the outside for

914
00:51:17,320 --> 00:51:20,319
Speaker 7: this offense. You know, he is not a small guy.

915
00:51:20,360 --> 00:51:24,040
Speaker 7: Shakir is a little bit of the slighter height, more

916
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:28,600
Speaker 7: shifty guy. Josh is a big framed, really smooth, really

917
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:32,160
Speaker 7: good route running receiver. So you take those two perimeter

918
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:36,440
Speaker 7: players with their size on the outside, that changes anything

919
00:51:36,480 --> 00:51:38,960
Speaker 7: that that offense was capable of last year, just because

920
00:51:39,280 --> 00:51:42,479
Speaker 7: you have more winners, whether they're matchup winners or whether

921
00:51:42,560 --> 00:51:45,600
Speaker 7: they're just hey, we're gonna give you a chance winner.

922
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,439
Speaker 7: So those two guys, if they're really able to one

923
00:51:48,520 --> 00:51:51,239
Speaker 7: take a step forward in Keon and two Palmer just

924
00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:55,399
Speaker 7: solidify himself, that's a big elevation in your past game.

925
00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:59,400
Speaker 7: I think the second thing is the two things that

926
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:02,560
Speaker 7: stood out under Joe Brady last year from an evolution

927
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:05,560
Speaker 7: when it comes to the scheme was and again we

928
00:52:05,640 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 7: talked about it was the six offensive line stuff that

929
00:52:08,280 --> 00:52:10,480
Speaker 7: they did and then the four by one stuff that

930
00:52:10,520 --> 00:52:13,040
Speaker 7: they did, and it kind of you know, they were

931
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:15,440
Speaker 7: the few teams that was one of the few teams

932
00:52:15,440 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 7: that were doing it, doing it as much and doing

933
00:52:17,360 --> 00:52:20,280
Speaker 7: it as well. And I've sat here and asked myself,

934
00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:22,400
Speaker 7: is that what they're going to live in again this

935
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:26,520
Speaker 7: year or is there another thing that they're gonna add schematically?

936
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,760
Speaker 7: Are they going to do more out of it? Because

937
00:52:28,880 --> 00:52:31,960
Speaker 7: I thought the beauty of it was they did simple

938
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:37,000
Speaker 7: stuff out of that, I guess window dressing or creative

939
00:52:37,120 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 7: pre snap stuff. And so where do they go from there?

940
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:42,840
Speaker 7: Is you you can continue to become better on the

941
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 7: perimeter with those two players, and I just want to

942
00:52:45,600 --> 00:52:48,279
Speaker 7: be shocked if there's either more out of those two

943
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 7: sets or another schematic staple that Brady has that can

944
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:54,880
Speaker 7: be a calling card for the offense.

945
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,600
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean we even saw more of Reggie Hillingham

946
00:52:58,640 --> 00:53:00,360
Speaker 2: at the end of the season last year. There was

947
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:04,120
Speaker 2: more traditional eye formation and offset I and I'm wondering

948
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: if we're going to see more of that. Then you

949
00:53:06,040 --> 00:53:09,359
Speaker 2: couple that with fifth round draft pick Jackson Hawes out

950
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 2: of Georgia Tech, widely considered the best blocking tight end

951
00:53:12,000 --> 00:53:14,640
Speaker 2: in the entire draft class and has been getting nothing

952
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:18,600
Speaker 2: but accolades from veteran teammates here about his blocking exploits,

953
00:53:18,920 --> 00:53:23,000
Speaker 2: and that's from offensive alignment applauding him, not other tight ends.

954
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:25,600
Speaker 2: I think he's gonna be doing a lot of that

955
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:28,279
Speaker 2: dirty work that Alec Anderson did last year. And oh,

956
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:29,680
Speaker 2: by the way, that guy can go out and run

957
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,520
Speaker 2: and catch passes.

958
00:53:31,320 --> 00:53:34,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, and that's a big I think. You know, we're

959
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:36,759
Speaker 7: in a time in the NFL right now. It's just

960
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:39,400
Speaker 7: it's very different than it was five years ago with

961
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 7: the way teams are playing offenses, at least the ones

962
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:45,120
Speaker 7: that have the really explosive quarterbacks. And so I think

963
00:53:45,160 --> 00:53:51,759
Speaker 7: the more that you can create personnel matchups personnel dictation

964
00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:55,040
Speaker 7: to a defense, and you're really I mean, tight end

965
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:57,400
Speaker 7: is one of those positions that I would say is

966
00:53:57,440 --> 00:54:01,160
Speaker 7: the only one you can dictate personnel to defensively. When

967
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:02,840
Speaker 7: you put receivers on the field, teams are going to

968
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:06,520
Speaker 7: match with corners and nickels. When you put tight ends

969
00:54:06,520 --> 00:54:08,840
Speaker 7: on the field, it's like, Okay, how are defense is

970
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:12,080
Speaker 7: going to treat him? And you can only you can't

971
00:54:12,120 --> 00:54:14,960
Speaker 7: have of good players at that position. I think the

972
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:17,279
Speaker 7: other thing that I'll have my eye on, not only

973
00:54:17,320 --> 00:54:19,880
Speaker 7: in the Sunday Night football game, but just as the

974
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:25,200
Speaker 7: season goes is those two receivers that I just kind

975
00:54:25,200 --> 00:54:29,799
Speaker 7: of talked about in Keon and Josh Palmer, how committed

976
00:54:30,040 --> 00:54:33,719
Speaker 7: and how capable are they to blocking in the run game.

977
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,360
Speaker 7: It's a big deal. In Buffalo, Mac Collins was absolutely

978
00:54:37,440 --> 00:54:40,400
Speaker 7: fantastic at it. He was incredibly selfless at it, and

979
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:42,880
Speaker 7: he was very good at it, and it helped create

980
00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:47,959
Speaker 7: explosive runs for James Cook. How committed are those two

981
00:54:48,040 --> 00:54:52,799
Speaker 7: guys to doing that seventeen plus weeks this season and

982
00:54:52,840 --> 00:54:55,239
Speaker 7: doing it at a high level, I do believe is

983
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:57,760
Speaker 7: a very very big deal for that offense.

984
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:00,560
Speaker 1: Well, we and we got we were a namored and

985
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:03,480
Speaker 1: rightfully so with Josh and his MVP performance last year

986
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 1: in this offense, and they scored more points than any

987
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 1: team in franchise history, which is saying something. But so

988
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:17,239
Speaker 1: was Baltimore. Right they were. They had a phenomenal year

989
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:22,000
Speaker 1: offensively as well. Lamar threw for forty plus touchdowns. Derrick

990
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:26,440
Speaker 1: Henry was an absolute game wrecker. What do you see

991
00:55:26,480 --> 00:55:29,560
Speaker 1: from them this year? As you know, it's just it's

992
00:55:29,640 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: kind of the same question I just posed about the

993
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:32,000
Speaker 1: Bills offense.

994
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:36,040
Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, I mean, there's the reality that both these

995
00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,359
Speaker 7: places are very much in the same place. They are

996
00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:40,440
Speaker 7: two of the best teams in football. They got two

997
00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 7: of the best quarterbacks in football, and that question still

998
00:55:43,560 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 7: looms is which one of them is going to be

999
00:55:45,120 --> 00:55:46,840
Speaker 7: the one that gets over the humps, so to speak.

1000
00:55:46,840 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 7: And so, you know, I think that with Baltimore last

1001
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:53,319
Speaker 7: year was the first year, in the second year with

1002
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:55,520
Speaker 7: Lamar and Todd Monkin now in their third year where

1003
00:55:55,520 --> 00:55:57,800
Speaker 7: you saw at all they had to figure out Derek

1004
00:55:57,840 --> 00:55:59,560
Speaker 7: as the season one on how are they going to

1005
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:01,120
Speaker 7: use him? How are they going to put Lamar on

1006
00:56:01,160 --> 00:56:05,279
Speaker 7: the gun? Lamar and center one. Zay Flowers didn't play

1007
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,480
Speaker 7: in the playoff game last year and that mattered, and

1008
00:56:07,520 --> 00:56:11,080
Speaker 7: so just his vertical juice and ability to stretch a

1009
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,359
Speaker 7: field is a big deal. There's not much that I

1010
00:56:14,440 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 7: expect to change. This is a wildly versatile offense. They

1011
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:21,239
Speaker 7: got so many different pieces with a player like a

1012
00:56:21,320 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 7: Patrick Riccard or Aaiah Likely or Mark Andrews. They have

1013
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:26,759
Speaker 7: one of the best quarterbacks in football on offensive line

1014
00:56:26,800 --> 00:56:29,160
Speaker 7: that's settled into being one of the best in football

1015
00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:32,279
Speaker 7: this past season, and so you know, there's not much

1016
00:56:32,440 --> 00:56:35,200
Speaker 7: different about this team. I do think it's a little

1017
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,200
Speaker 7: bit more on the other side of the ball. Steve

1018
00:56:37,320 --> 00:56:41,160
Speaker 7: is and I would say this is in the conversation

1019
00:56:41,320 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 7: for the best secondary and football Baltimore has now that

1020
00:56:44,080 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 7: they've added Jaire Alexander, and it's the second year of

1021
00:56:48,239 --> 00:56:52,080
Speaker 7: Nate Wiggins. I mean, you have Jai Air, you have Wiggins,

1022
00:56:52,160 --> 00:56:56,280
Speaker 7: you have Humphrey, you have Kyle Hamilton. This is an elite, elite,

1023
00:56:56,400 --> 00:57:01,400
Speaker 7: elite Ballhawking can do whatever they want. Second. So that's

1024
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:04,399
Speaker 7: really the I think where you might see them even

1025
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:08,279
Speaker 7: grow more Baltimore than they were last year is defensively.

1026
00:57:08,320 --> 00:57:11,080
Speaker 7: They started very rocky and then settled in. But adding

1027
00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:13,200
Speaker 7: a piece like Jai Air is a big deal.

1028
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, you had Malachi Starks in there. Who is going

1029
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,080
Speaker 2: to start next to Hamilton. They're all first round picks,

1030
00:57:19,120 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 2: every last one of them, all first round former first

1031
00:57:22,040 --> 00:57:25,760
Speaker 2: round picks, so they should be elite. It was interesting

1032
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 2: we listened to coach McDermott and his press conference today

1033
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:31,880
Speaker 2: and he was throwing bouquets at Todd Monkin because he

1034
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 2: you know, this is a guy that obviously cut his

1035
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,200
Speaker 2: teeth on the defensive side of the ball in the NFL,

1036
00:57:36,200 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 2: and he said he doesn't feel Todd Monkin gets enough

1037
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:44,280
Speaker 2: credit for his ability to keep opposing defenses off balance.

1038
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:47,800
Speaker 2: What is the most what would you say is the

1039
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:52,880
Speaker 2: greatest attribute of Todd Monkins scheming and play calling.

1040
00:57:54,800 --> 00:57:58,080
Speaker 7: Well, I think one Monkin does a great job of

1041
00:57:58,160 --> 00:58:01,400
Speaker 7: utilizing all their different pieces to their strengths. You know,

1042
00:58:01,600 --> 00:58:05,720
Speaker 7: I mentioned Ricard and likely he never really asks those

1043
00:58:05,720 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 7: guys to do something that they're not And there's also

1044
00:58:08,040 --> 00:58:10,320
Speaker 7: reality guys where those two are very difficult to match

1045
00:58:10,400 --> 00:58:12,320
Speaker 7: up against. We have talked about that for a couple

1046
00:58:12,360 --> 00:58:16,720
Speaker 7: of years now. So I think that figuring out the

1047
00:58:16,760 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 7: fine line of when to place Lamar under center and

1048
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 7: not run from the simple stuff of like we're better

1049
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:29,800
Speaker 7: than you, but then also utilize defenses keying on that

1050
00:58:29,880 --> 00:58:32,600
Speaker 7: to your advantage, When to place Lamar in the gun

1051
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,000
Speaker 7: and not overthink some of the potential quarterback run stuff.

1052
00:58:36,440 --> 00:58:38,720
Speaker 7: The motion use that they got to last year. That

1053
00:58:38,840 --> 00:58:41,320
Speaker 7: was probably the biggest step for them scheme wise last

1054
00:58:41,360 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 7: year is their ability to run with motion that that

1055
00:58:45,360 --> 00:58:47,840
Speaker 7: became a calling card of theirs and that necessarily wasn't

1056
00:58:47,880 --> 00:58:50,640
Speaker 7: the year before. And so I think he's got this

1057
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,520
Speaker 7: very it's it's not not all different than Joe Brady. Like,

1058
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 7: he's got this very creative mindset and they're staple staple

1059
00:58:57,960 --> 00:59:01,240
Speaker 7: staple offensive plays that I think allow players to execute

1060
00:59:01,280 --> 00:59:05,360
Speaker 7: at a high level and play fast with complicating the

1061
00:59:05,440 --> 00:59:08,000
Speaker 7: things that you have to look at or think about

1062
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:11,320
Speaker 7: pre snap. And so he's getting his guys to play

1063
00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 7: fast while you defensively are playing slow with a lot

1064
00:59:14,400 --> 00:59:17,320
Speaker 7: that he presents. And so he's won. He's become one

1065
00:59:17,360 --> 00:59:18,680
Speaker 7: of the best play calls in the league.

1066
00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,080
Speaker 1: So you've got this game coming up, and you got

1067
00:59:21,120 --> 00:59:23,480
Speaker 1: all these new players or you know for the Bills,

1068
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:26,840
Speaker 1: particularly defensively, you've got some young guys. They're gonna have

1069
00:59:26,880 --> 00:59:30,680
Speaker 1: to contribute, and some of them even on the defensive lines.

1070
00:59:30,720 --> 00:59:32,680
Speaker 1: Some rookies are gonna rotate in. I mean, it's gonna

1071
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 1: be their first NFL game that's played for keeps and

1072
00:59:36,040 --> 00:59:40,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on a Sunday night football against the

1073
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:44,120
Speaker 1: Baltimore Ravens in the last home opener of the entire

1074
00:59:44,160 --> 00:59:48,960
Speaker 1: stadium's history. It's a lot in this right, all your

1075
00:59:48,960 --> 00:59:51,280
Speaker 1: hopes and dreams, you're you're seeing them all come true

1076
00:59:51,320 --> 00:59:54,760
Speaker 1: as you take the field. What's your advice? And Brownie

1077
00:59:54,800 --> 00:59:57,840
Speaker 1: just asked me before we got had you on, what's

1078
00:59:57,880 --> 01:00:00,760
Speaker 1: your advice for a young player, rookie player handle big

1079
01:00:00,800 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: moment like this where you know it's not the end

1080
01:00:02,920 --> 01:00:05,320
Speaker 1: of the world. It's only game one, but man, oh man,

1081
01:00:05,360 --> 01:00:05,960
Speaker 1: what a moment.

1082
01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you got to embrace the moment and

1083
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 7: realize that it's very real.

1084
01:00:10,960 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: You know.

1085
01:00:11,160 --> 01:00:13,040
Speaker 7: I had a coach one time when I was playing,

1086
01:00:13,360 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 7: you know, and this is obviously not on the same

1087
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 7: scale at all, but when I was at Yukon, we

1088
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 7: were transferring from one stadium to another stadium and it

1089
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:23,920
Speaker 7: was the opening game of the new stadium and he

1090
01:00:23,960 --> 01:00:26,080
Speaker 7: grabbed me before I was kind of walking out of

1091
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:28,760
Speaker 7: the tunnel, and he said, like, you need to walk

1092
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 7: out there and feel all of this, all of the energy,

1093
01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,200
Speaker 7: all of the excitement, all the juice, Like you have

1094
01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 7: to take a walk and look all around and embrace

1095
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 7: it and appreciate it and just be in it. And

1096
01:00:41,200 --> 01:00:43,880
Speaker 7: then you have to lock into the football game. And

1097
01:00:44,360 --> 01:00:46,560
Speaker 7: I wasn't thinking about it in that moment, and it

1098
01:00:46,600 --> 01:00:50,360
Speaker 7: was great for me to kind of okay, like enjoy

1099
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,880
Speaker 7: it and experience it is awesome, Like it's awesome. You've

1100
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 7: earned the right to kind of play in these types

1101
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:57,280
Speaker 7: of games, even though it's Game one, but there's a

1102
01:00:57,320 --> 01:00:59,160
Speaker 7: lot of history attached to it. To your point, Steve,

1103
01:00:59,480 --> 01:01:02,040
Speaker 7: but then you have to lock into going and playing

1104
01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:05,280
Speaker 7: the game and doing your job and doing what you're

1105
01:01:05,320 --> 01:01:08,680
Speaker 7: kind of paid to do. And so that's the message

1106
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,439
Speaker 7: to the young kids is go take it all in

1107
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 7: and then when it's time to put the ball down

1108
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,240
Speaker 7: and we got to go kick off, like we got

1109
01:01:15,240 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 7: to go play a football game that we're prepared to

1110
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 7: go play, and so it'll be an awesome environment. You

1111
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 7: guys know how I feel about that place. And obviously

1112
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:25,560
Speaker 7: it's a tremendous opponent, and I know it's a long season.

1113
01:01:25,600 --> 01:01:25,919
Speaker 1: I do.

1114
01:01:26,320 --> 01:01:28,360
Speaker 7: I think you guys probably share the same thought though,

1115
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:30,360
Speaker 7: as these two teams are going to be there at

1116
01:01:30,360 --> 01:01:33,320
Speaker 7: the end. This game could be the determining factor on

1117
01:01:33,800 --> 01:01:36,120
Speaker 7: where it's played at some point if it's a divisional

1118
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:39,919
Speaker 7: and or a championship round. And so I know there's

1119
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:43,720
Speaker 7: a lot a lot left obviously, but I do think

1120
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:46,720
Speaker 7: it's a very big game because neither of these teams

1121
01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:47,560
Speaker 7: are going to lose a ton.

1122
01:01:47,920 --> 01:01:49,920
Speaker 2: Last one I've got for you, Dan, I realize you

1123
01:01:49,960 --> 01:01:52,680
Speaker 2: probably watched mostly offensive and defensive tape, but I'm just

1124
01:01:52,720 --> 01:01:56,480
Speaker 2: curious for your thoughts on the kickoff. Moving out to

1125
01:01:56,480 --> 01:01:58,880
Speaker 2: the thirty five on a touchback, we're all expecting a

1126
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:02,680
Speaker 2: lot more balls to be in play. And if you're

1127
01:02:02,720 --> 01:02:05,760
Speaker 2: a defense that's kind of middle of the pack and

1128
01:02:05,800 --> 01:02:10,120
Speaker 2: you're playing a high profile offense like a Cincinnati for example, yeah,

1129
01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:12,320
Speaker 2: you better have a lot of faith in your coverage unit.

1130
01:02:13,680 --> 01:02:15,240
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you don't want to give

1131
01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow a drive started his own thirty five. I mean,

1132
01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:20,520
Speaker 2: he gets twenty five yards and McPherson's on to at

1133
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,520
Speaker 2: least get him three points. So I guess first question

1134
01:02:24,640 --> 01:02:26,840
Speaker 2: is how are you expecting most teams to handle that?

1135
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,760
Speaker 2: Second question, are you expecting scoring to go up in

1136
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:34,320
Speaker 2: light of where these rules have changed on the dynamic kickoff?

1137
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1138
01:02:35,760 --> 01:02:38,000
Speaker 7: I think so. So I think scoring is going to

1139
01:02:38,040 --> 01:02:42,120
Speaker 7: go up in relation to the dynamic kickoff. One. You

1140
01:02:42,120 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 7: can now put three people back in the return area.

1141
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 7: That's a new change as well, so you can utilize

1142
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:50,800
Speaker 7: I think there's gonna be a little bit more creative

1143
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:54,240
Speaker 7: creativity on some of the returns because you can, you know,

1144
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 7: throwbacks and reverses and fake reverses and two man stuff like.

1145
01:02:58,360 --> 01:03:01,280
Speaker 7: I think special teams coaches will be very creative in

1146
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 7: that regard. The second thing is we see kickers kicking

1147
01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:07,880
Speaker 7: field goals so much more consistently, some from further out

1148
01:03:07,880 --> 01:03:10,960
Speaker 7: than we ever had before. I mean, when Steve played,

1149
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,880
Speaker 7: it was like if you made a thirty five forty

1150
01:03:12,920 --> 01:03:14,840
Speaker 7: yard er, it was a like big deal. If you

1151
01:03:14,880 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 7: were attempting a fifty yarder, it was like wow. Now

1152
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 7: fifty yarders go in like their extra points, it feels like,

1153
01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:22,960
Speaker 7: so you know, the amount of yards of the offense

1154
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 7: has to gain to feel good about even trying for

1155
01:03:26,200 --> 01:03:29,720
Speaker 7: three points is a big deal. And so I think

1156
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:31,640
Speaker 7: what you'll see is, and we were meeting with the

1157
01:03:31,760 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 7: NFL a couple of weeks ago, and we were going

1158
01:03:33,480 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 7: over some of the new rules. Is and while dans

1159
01:03:36,600 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 7: and Anderson, who oversees the officiating, was saying that a

1160
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 7: lot of teams, they were expecting more teams to just

1161
01:03:42,960 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 7: hit almost like stingers from tiger Woods, like stinging line

1162
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 7: drive kicks, to try to just kick the ball into

1163
01:03:49,720 --> 01:03:52,760
Speaker 7: that landing zone, take a couple hops and see if

1164
01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,600
Speaker 7: that can they can steal a little bit of time

1165
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 7: on the coverage while also minimizing return that is, I

1166
01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,560
Speaker 7: guess way and explosives. So that's something I would pay

1167
01:04:01,600 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 7: attention to. I will as an analyst it's just how

1168
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:07,560
Speaker 7: teams are the kickoff team, the kicker is actually kicking

1169
01:04:07,600 --> 01:04:11,000
Speaker 7: the ball now, and then you know what teams and

1170
01:04:11,080 --> 01:04:12,560
Speaker 7: how are they using three returners?

1171
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there is a lot in that the

1172
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:20,360
Speaker 1: three returners back opens the door for gamesmanship. And the

1173
01:04:20,800 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 1: fact two that I've seen even in warm ups and

1174
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 1: in practices not here in Buffalo, but also the stuff

1175
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:31,800
Speaker 1: I've seen from other teams is that everybody's got to

1176
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,040
Speaker 1: have that line drive kick to get it into the

1177
01:04:34,120 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 1: landing zone. It's not it's not an easy kick to

1178
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,120
Speaker 1: get it all the way to the landing zone, but

1179
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:41,600
Speaker 1: still have it bounce because as soon as it bounces,

1180
01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:46,120
Speaker 1: the coverage team is released. They can run, so's you

1181
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:47,400
Speaker 1: don't have to wait for the guy to catch it

1182
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 1: and start running before you before you take off. So

1183
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,960
Speaker 1: that gives them a couple of bounces. And in a

1184
01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:57,720
Speaker 1: play that's gonna take a few seconds, that half second

1185
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 1: you get while the ball hits is an extra five

1186
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,040
Speaker 1: yards of coverage. The whole you know, the whole data

1187
01:05:03,080 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 1: point thing of how fast these guys run. I think

1188
01:05:06,120 --> 01:05:08,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be fascinating, and I wouldn't. I'm with you.

1189
01:05:08,440 --> 01:05:12,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised to see throwbacks, reverses, some ball

1190
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:16,600
Speaker 1: high you know, hidden ball tricks coming out of the

1191
01:05:16,760 --> 01:05:18,920
Speaker 1: coming out of the return game. There's just no reason

1192
01:05:19,040 --> 01:05:22,400
Speaker 1: not to because I do believe teams will put it

1193
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: in play this time this year instead of you know,

1194
01:05:25,120 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 1: ninety percent of them trying to kick it out of

1195
01:05:26,720 --> 01:05:27,320
Speaker 1: the end zone.

1196
01:05:27,960 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 7: Yeah, I totally agree. I just giving a team the

1197
01:05:31,160 --> 01:05:34,200
Speaker 7: ball at the thirty depending on who the returner is

1198
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:36,480
Speaker 7: and who you're coveraging all that, but like giving a

1199
01:05:36,520 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 7: team the ball at the thirty five makes it feel

1200
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,600
Speaker 7: like if you give up three first downs, you know

1201
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 7: you're you're giving up three points already, and obviously that's

1202
01:05:45,560 --> 01:05:46,080
Speaker 7: a big deal.

1203
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, just one quick thing, Dan, just about everybody we've

1204
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:54,080
Speaker 2: seen online that has picked this game is expecting it

1205
01:05:54,120 --> 01:05:57,240
Speaker 2: to be a three points or less game. I mean,

1206
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:59,640
Speaker 2: even Steve and I here can admit that top to

1207
01:05:59,680 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 2: bottom Baltimore probably has the better roster just in pure talent.

1208
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:08,840
Speaker 2: But this playing here is not easy. Bills went undefeated

1209
01:06:08,920 --> 01:06:12,680
Speaker 2: last year ten and oher do you see that as

1210
01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:16,080
Speaker 2: a potential equalizer? Number one and number two? Do you

1211
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 2: expect the game to be as close as everybody else

1212
01:06:18,800 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 2: seems to think.

1213
01:06:20,440 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 7: I would be shocked if it's not final possession game.

1214
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:26,360
Speaker 7: One quarterback makes a play, one quarterback doesn't type of thing. Yeah,

1215
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,760
Speaker 7: I would imagine this as a three point or less

1216
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:33,720
Speaker 7: football game. Absolutely that home field will help. And also

1217
01:06:34,080 --> 01:06:37,600
Speaker 7: it's not like the Bills have nothing like the Ravens.

1218
01:06:37,640 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 7: I believe at the best roster in the AFC es

1219
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:44,200
Speaker 7: top to bottom, just talent wise. Obviously the Bills have

1220
01:06:44,240 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 7: a very good roster. We'll see how healthy specifically the

1221
01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 7: back end is. But yeah, I think it's a great

1222
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,600
Speaker 7: football game. I think both quarterbacks played an incredibly high

1223
01:06:51,680 --> 01:06:55,560
Speaker 7: level and hopefully we get one of those and classic

1224
01:06:55,720 --> 01:06:59,560
Speaker 7: ending ones to start the season, and unsurprisingly both of

1225
01:06:59,560 --> 01:07:01,400
Speaker 7: them should they're very much so at the end.

1226
01:07:01,680 --> 01:07:03,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're kind of right there with you, Dan, I

1227
01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: can't wait to see it kick off. Well, last one

1228
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: real quick, what's your thought about the opening game of

1229
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:13,320
Speaker 1: the entire season? Dallas at Philly is Dallas?

1230
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:15,480
Speaker 7: I think Dallas could keep it close. I really do

1231
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 7: you know Philly, Like listen, Philly's obviously ridiculous, but losing

1232
01:07:19,440 --> 01:07:22,920
Speaker 7: sleigh matters, you know, and and outside of really like

1233
01:07:23,000 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 7: Red Blankenship and Quenyon Mitchell, you know who's one of

1234
01:07:26,400 --> 01:07:28,200
Speaker 7: their their second year at corner of Mitchell is a

1235
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:30,520
Speaker 7: great player, and then Blanket Ship, who's been a good safety.

1236
01:07:30,760 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 7: Their secondaries at least in Philly has not played a

1237
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:37,760
Speaker 7: lot together. And so Dallas with those two premier perimeter players,

1238
01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:40,440
Speaker 7: a wide receiver in for a get tight end, like,

1239
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:43,080
Speaker 7: I think they can have some success offensively. I would

1240
01:07:43,120 --> 01:07:46,520
Speaker 7: throw a ton of shots opposite Quenon Mitchell down the field.

1241
01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 2: You know.

1242
01:07:48,360 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 7: I think they'll be a little bit better versus the run,

1243
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:54,440
Speaker 7: massive challenge if they get into the passing situation, and

1244
01:07:54,480 --> 01:07:56,280
Speaker 7: do they have anybody that can go get hurts now?

1245
01:07:56,320 --> 01:07:59,080
Speaker 7: And so I think it'll be closer than you know,

1246
01:07:59,120 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 7: a blowout, which a lot of people anticipate. But Philly

1247
01:08:02,040 --> 01:08:04,080
Speaker 7: is the better football team. Philly should win, all right.

1248
01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 2: Dan, thanks is always appreciate the time. We'll catch up

1249
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:07,160
Speaker 2: with you next week.

1250
01:08:07,840 --> 01:08:08,400
Speaker 7: Thanks guys.

1251
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 2: All right, that's Dan Orlofsky, whose appearances on One Bills

1252
01:08:11,120 --> 01:08:15,160
Speaker 2: Live are presented by Caesar's Sportsbook, an official mobile sports

1253
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:18,120
Speaker 2: betting partner of the Buffalo Bills. Well, I'm glad he

1254
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 2: thinks it's going to be close. Yeah, because I've just

1255
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:25,240
Speaker 2: seen some of his appearances on you know, the network

1256
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:28,800
Speaker 2: that he works for, ESPN, and he has mentioned what

1257
01:08:28,880 --> 01:08:32,760
Speaker 2: he echoed here that he thinks, top to bottom, the

1258
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 2: Ravens have the most talented roster in the AFC. And

1259
01:08:35,880 --> 01:08:38,919
Speaker 2: I would tend to agree, like it's just a beautiful

1260
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:42,840
Speaker 2: mix of veteran and young talent up and down at

1261
01:08:42,840 --> 01:08:46,000
Speaker 2: every position. And that's that's no knock on the Bills.

1262
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:48,160
Speaker 2: I think the Bills have a very strong roster too,

1263
01:08:49,160 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 2: But with the injury situation that they're dealing with on

1264
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 2: the back end in the defensive secondary, it gives you

1265
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:00,920
Speaker 2: cause for concerned.

1266
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:02,679
Speaker 1: That it's too many question marks for you to say

1267
01:09:02,680 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 1: that about the Bills right now. I mean, certainly, if

1268
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: they were completely healthy in Benford and Trey White and

1269
01:09:07,600 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: Max Harriston and TJ not A, Dwayne Carter and the

1270
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:17,720
Speaker 1: whole crew of Trey White. Yeah, Ben, if all those

1271
01:09:17,720 --> 01:09:19,720
Speaker 1: guys were one hundred percent, let's go, then it's like

1272
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:23,280
Speaker 1: it's a different story. It's a really different story. But

1273
01:09:23,400 --> 01:09:30,160
Speaker 1: here going into week one where you're hobbled already, Yeah,

1274
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:30,920
Speaker 1: it's not the same.

1275
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 2: It's just not the same, right, And you know, as

1276
01:09:34,120 --> 01:09:36,120
Speaker 2: we've already said, we already know that it doesn't look

1277
01:09:36,160 --> 01:09:38,000
Speaker 2: like Isaiah likely is going to play for the Ravens.

1278
01:09:38,040 --> 01:09:40,519
Speaker 2: That is a loss for them. That's that's not nothing,

1279
01:09:40,960 --> 01:09:44,759
Speaker 2: and it's one less weapon for Buffalo's defense to worry about.

1280
01:09:46,600 --> 01:09:49,680
Speaker 2: But you'd almost kind of prefer that. Jay Flowers or

1281
01:09:49,680 --> 01:09:51,599
Speaker 2: shod Bateman and Mark Andrews also.

1282
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Say this one out to their bus stalls on the

1283
01:09:54,240 --> 01:09:56,000
Speaker 1: way to the stadium. Yeah, something like that.

1284
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:56,959
Speaker 2: That would be nice.

1285
01:09:56,720 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 1: Because they really, yeah, they're they were really talent, unted

1286
01:10:00,479 --> 01:10:06,560
Speaker 1: and elite roster. As we know, Buffalo would love to

1287
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,800
Speaker 1: take him on fully healthy. It doesn't look like that's

1288
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:10,360
Speaker 1: gonna happen.

1289
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,680
Speaker 2: No, So yeah, this is gonna be a tooth and

1290
01:10:15,760 --> 01:10:18,439
Speaker 2: nail one. I mean, you're kind of And that's the

1291
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,120
Speaker 2: other thing too, because we mentioned this, Steve. When the

1292
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:25,559
Speaker 2: schedule came out, I was very pleased to see what

1293
01:10:26,439 --> 01:10:29,240
Speaker 2: many of us believe will be the most difficult games

1294
01:10:29,280 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 2: on Buffalo's schedule spread out throughout the schedule. Ravens like

1295
01:10:35,120 --> 01:10:37,479
Speaker 2: when people looked at the schedule first blush, they thought

1296
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:39,439
Speaker 2: the three toughest games were going to be Ravens, Chiefs

1297
01:10:39,479 --> 01:10:43,360
Speaker 2: and Eagles, which is reasonable to suspect Ravens week one,

1298
01:10:43,600 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 2: Chiefs Week nine, Eagles Week seventeen. You could not have

1299
01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,400
Speaker 2: spread them out any better. And I was encouraged by

1300
01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:54,280
Speaker 2: that because this game on Sunday night, you're gonna need

1301
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,480
Speaker 2: to recover from. I mean, it is going to be intense,

1302
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 2: supremely physical, and you're gonna have to leave it all

1303
01:11:01,600 --> 01:11:03,640
Speaker 2: out there if you want to come out out of

1304
01:11:03,680 --> 01:11:05,439
Speaker 2: the game of the victory, because I think it is

1305
01:11:05,479 --> 01:11:07,360
Speaker 2: going to be tightly contested and hard. Fuck.

1306
01:11:07,479 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 1: It was one of those things where it used to

1307
01:11:10,120 --> 01:11:12,200
Speaker 1: be a stat they kept, and I guess they probably

1308
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:15,360
Speaker 1: still do. But you know, what were team's record after

1309
01:11:15,400 --> 01:11:17,720
Speaker 1: they played you, you know your team, or what was

1310
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 1: team's record after they played that team, And you know,

1311
01:11:22,040 --> 01:11:24,120
Speaker 1: teams were you know, it was hard to win the

1312
01:11:24,160 --> 01:11:26,800
Speaker 1: next week after playing a really hard game the week

1313
01:11:26,840 --> 01:11:29,200
Speaker 1: before because you get guys heard, guys were injured, couldn't

1314
01:11:29,200 --> 01:11:32,120
Speaker 1: practice the full week because and so they couldn't prepare

1315
01:11:32,120 --> 01:11:35,280
Speaker 1: to play well against their next opponent. And teams dropped

1316
01:11:35,280 --> 01:11:37,559
Speaker 1: a game even if they won that tough game against you,

1317
01:11:38,400 --> 01:11:40,599
Speaker 1: they dropped the next game because they were beat up, right,

1318
01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,599
Speaker 1: So it used to be a stat people would keep

1319
01:11:43,640 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: track of. But you're right, this is you know. It's

1320
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,640
Speaker 1: one of those where you goin after the game, you

1321
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:52,519
Speaker 1: look in the mirror, it's like, man, you look awful.

1322
01:11:53,800 --> 01:11:56,200
Speaker 2: You're hanging. You're like, man, we're only one game in.

1323
01:11:56,479 --> 01:12:00,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's a long tough season. We'll see how

1324
01:12:00,320 --> 01:12:02,080
Speaker 1: the Bills fare in this one. This is going to

1325
01:12:02,120 --> 01:12:03,200
Speaker 1: be a fantastic day.

1326
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:07,439
Speaker 2: We are going to step aside and take a break

1327
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:11,480
Speaker 2: here as we get set for the end of practice

1328
01:12:11,720 --> 01:12:14,639
Speaker 2: because practice is supposed to be wrapping up right about now,

1329
01:12:14,720 --> 01:12:17,919
Speaker 2: and that means that our visit with one Tyrel Shavers

1330
01:12:17,920 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 2: will be happening soon thereafter. So we take a break here.

1331
01:12:22,200 --> 01:12:25,040
Speaker 2: Stay tuned because when we come back, we'll have one

1332
01:12:25,120 --> 01:12:27,880
Speaker 2: Tyrell Shavers joining us in studio as he has made

1333
01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:30,360
Speaker 2: the fifty three man roster that's coming away next year

1334
01:12:30,400 --> 01:12:34,880
Speaker 2: on One Bill's Live. All right, back here on One

1335
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:38,120
Speaker 2: Bill's Live, Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and we'll

1336
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:40,559
Speaker 2: have Tyrel Shavers in studio in just a little bit.

1337
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:48,200
Speaker 2: But practice has completed for Wednesday, and post practice podium

1338
01:12:48,240 --> 01:12:52,120
Speaker 2: commentary is happening as we speak, so we are going

1339
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:55,040
Speaker 2: to go to the post practice podium now where one

1340
01:12:55,120 --> 01:13:01,160
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard, defensive captain of the Bills, is addressing the media.

1341
01:13:00,040 --> 01:13:00,599
Speaker 7: Lst year as well.

1342
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:01,680
Speaker 11: But what does it mean to you to be a

1343
01:13:01,680 --> 01:13:02,559
Speaker 11: captain on the statement?

1344
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:06,200
Speaker 15: Yeah, it's an honor, you know, anytime you're appointed into

1345
01:13:06,200 --> 01:13:10,080
Speaker 15: a leadership role. I think you know, it's it's an

1346
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:13,000
Speaker 15: honor to to you know, be in that in that spot.

1347
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 15: I don't take it lightly. I know it's a it's

1348
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 15: a responsibility and you know, I'm at the end of

1349
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:21,200
Speaker 15: the day, I'm grateful for you know, my my teammates

1350
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:21,600
Speaker 15: voting me.

1351
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:22,080
Speaker 1: As a captain.

1352
01:13:23,240 --> 01:13:25,920
Speaker 15: I think it puts responsibility on myself to to hold

1353
01:13:25,960 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 15: myself to a standard, but you know, to also speak

1354
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 15: up when you know, I see the standard not being

1355
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 15: met and uh, you know hold all others to that

1356
01:13:33,600 --> 01:13:34,280
Speaker 15: to that standard too.

1357
01:13:35,520 --> 01:13:38,240
Speaker 11: More immediately comfortable like last year when you became a captain,

1358
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,920
Speaker 11: because I know that can be at times uncomfortable off.

1359
01:13:40,880 --> 01:13:42,559
Speaker 1: Or you know, can do have to speak up.

1360
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 15: Yeah, I mean I feel like it's a it's a

1361
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:48,439
Speaker 15: learning process. I wouldn't say I was comfortable from from

1362
01:13:48,479 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 15: the beginning, honestly, you know, it's it's it's tough you know,

1363
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:54,120
Speaker 15: you're friends with a lot of guys, and at the

1364
01:13:54,200 --> 01:13:57,800
Speaker 15: end of the day, that's what makes it, you know effective.

1365
01:13:57,840 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 15: I think in my opinion, you know, I've got relationships

1366
01:13:59,680 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 15: with these guys outside of football, So if I have

1367
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:03,920
Speaker 15: to say something or if they say something to me,

1368
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 15: you know, it's never it's never personal. It's always you know,

1369
01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:08,280
Speaker 15: trying to get the best out of them and you know,

1370
01:14:08,320 --> 01:14:09,080
Speaker 15: get the best out of me.

1371
01:14:09,760 --> 01:14:10,200
Speaker 1: Thanks Roll.

1372
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 8: Shawn has talked about how the defense's iner reliance you

1373
01:14:13,040 --> 01:14:14,439
Speaker 8: know guys at times this year.

1374
01:14:15,280 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: Let's see what happens with the guys ahead of them.

1375
01:14:16,880 --> 01:14:20,040
Speaker 1: With Durian Strong, who's potentially one of them this week,

1376
01:14:20,479 --> 01:14:21,240
Speaker 1: how have you.

1377
01:14:21,200 --> 01:14:23,360
Speaker 8: Seen him sort of develop throughout camp here?

1378
01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: And you know, how could we want?

1379
01:14:25,880 --> 01:14:27,720
Speaker 15: Yeah, I think the first thing that jumps off is

1380
01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:30,800
Speaker 15: just his his mindset and you know how intentional he

1381
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:33,439
Speaker 15: is with every day. Uh he comes in and goes

1382
01:14:33,479 --> 01:14:35,720
Speaker 15: to work, and that's something that I really respect. I

1383
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 15: know how hard it is, you know, for a young

1384
01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:40,679
Speaker 15: guy to come in here and play and contribute, and

1385
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:42,760
Speaker 15: you know, to to to rise to the to the

1386
01:14:42,800 --> 01:14:45,640
Speaker 15: standard that that's been set here. So you know, I

1387
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:47,760
Speaker 15: can't say enough good things about him. We all have,

1388
01:14:47,960 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 15: you know, confidence and faith in him, and he's shown

1389
01:14:50,920 --> 01:14:52,519
Speaker 15: that he can come out here and be a really

1390
01:14:52,520 --> 01:14:55,800
Speaker 15: good player. And it's just consistency day in and day

1391
01:14:55,800 --> 01:14:58,040
Speaker 15: out of doing, you know, doing your job, doing what

1392
01:14:58,080 --> 01:15:00,360
Speaker 15: you're supposed to do, being in the right spot every

1393
01:15:00,400 --> 01:15:03,240
Speaker 15: single snap, every single play, every single day. And he's

1394
01:15:03,240 --> 01:15:06,000
Speaker 15: shown that. So you know, I'm excited to you know,

1395
01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:08,439
Speaker 15: watch him and you know, see him grow throughout throughout

1396
01:15:08,439 --> 01:15:08,760
Speaker 15: this year.

1397
01:15:09,720 --> 01:15:12,519
Speaker 2: All right. So that's Bill's middle linebacker Terrell Bernard addressing

1398
01:15:12,520 --> 01:15:16,400
Speaker 2: the media after practice today, and we have another fresh

1399
01:15:16,439 --> 01:15:19,160
Speaker 2: off the practice field set to talk to us now.

1400
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:22,400
Speaker 2: Player Interview appearances on One Bill's Live are presented by

1401
01:15:22,520 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 2: Tim Hortons. Tim Hortons the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills.

1402
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:29,120
Speaker 2: As we welcome in one tie Reil Shavers, who made

1403
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:32,360
Speaker 2: a number switch in the eleventh hour. He is no

1404
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,760
Speaker 2: longer eighty in your program, he is fourteen. And we'll

1405
01:15:35,800 --> 01:15:37,760
Speaker 2: get to that in a second. But first of all,

1406
01:15:37,800 --> 01:15:41,760
Speaker 2: congratulations man, super happy for you. We hear all the

1407
01:15:41,800 --> 01:15:43,920
Speaker 2: time from coach McDermott, how you got to earn this

1408
01:15:43,960 --> 01:15:46,639
Speaker 2: thing and you earn the right you know, whether it's

1409
01:15:46,640 --> 01:15:48,080
Speaker 2: to be on the fifty three, to be on the

1410
01:15:48,120 --> 01:15:51,360
Speaker 2: field on Sundays, whatever the case might be. And holy cow,

1411
01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,120
Speaker 2: did you earn it? Man? Like, I mean, the preseason

1412
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,320
Speaker 2: was not pretty for everybody on this roster. And I'm

1413
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,080
Speaker 2: not even gonna talk about Chicago, but you're one of

1414
01:15:59,080 --> 01:16:00,839
Speaker 2: the few guys that was still making plays in Chicago

1415
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,920
Speaker 2: wire to wire in the preseason. You were putting it

1416
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 2: on display. How did you would you call that the

1417
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:12,360
Speaker 2: best preseason you've ever put together in your career?

1418
01:16:13,439 --> 01:16:15,679
Speaker 16: Just being consistent that was my number one goal coming

1419
01:16:15,720 --> 01:16:18,639
Speaker 16: in just making plays, but make them consistently every day,

1420
01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:20,800
Speaker 16: doing something, putting some good things on tape. So I

1421
01:16:20,840 --> 01:16:24,200
Speaker 16: think from end to end, that was one hundred percent

1422
01:16:24,320 --> 01:16:25,720
Speaker 16: my best, my best preseason.

1423
01:16:25,840 --> 01:16:28,720
Speaker 1: That's really the hardest part about the whole shooting match, right,

1424
01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,280
Speaker 1: it's doing a day in day out. You got to

1425
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:34,080
Speaker 1: certainly your athleticism, your size all like get you in

1426
01:16:34,120 --> 01:16:37,840
Speaker 1: the door. But it like every day it's a very

1427
01:16:37,880 --> 01:16:40,120
Speaker 1: high floor. You know, you take a bad rep, but

1428
01:16:40,160 --> 01:16:42,400
Speaker 1: you can't take another and another and another right and

1429
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:46,200
Speaker 1: that is that you think, that's what they tell you about,

1430
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:47,880
Speaker 1: you know, the in the three years and this is

1431
01:16:47,920 --> 01:16:50,640
Speaker 1: your third year leading up to this, you've been You

1432
01:16:50,720 --> 01:16:52,280
Speaker 1: never took a day off. I mean you were out

1433
01:16:52,280 --> 01:16:54,760
Speaker 1: there all the time. Yeah, What do you think was

1434
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:55,640
Speaker 1: the key to all of that?

1435
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:59,479
Speaker 16: Just stay ahead of the stand ahead of the game,

1436
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:02,400
Speaker 16: stand ahead of the curveball. Making sure I'm knowing what

1437
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:04,240
Speaker 16: I'm doing. Taking care of my body is number one,

1438
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:08,160
Speaker 16: because we out there every single day. Of course, the

1439
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,000
Speaker 16: obvious injury that that was the ankle injury. When I

1440
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:13,360
Speaker 16: went down, I was my number one goal was to

1441
01:17:13,400 --> 01:17:15,519
Speaker 16: get back out there as fast as possible, regardless if

1442
01:17:15,560 --> 01:17:17,320
Speaker 16: I was one hundred percent or not. I just wanted

1443
01:17:17,360 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 16: to get out there so I can put some more

1444
01:17:18,680 --> 01:17:23,400
Speaker 16: things on tape. So just being being ready, be staying ready,

1445
01:17:23,439 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 16: don't got to get ready.

1446
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 1: Right.

1447
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 2: If there's one area of your game that seemed to

1448
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:32,320
Speaker 2: take a big leap for the better this year, just

1449
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 2: from watching you over the years, I thought it was

1450
01:17:34,680 --> 01:17:36,840
Speaker 2: your releases off the line of scrimmage. I thought you

1451
01:17:36,880 --> 01:17:42,040
Speaker 2: were tons more effective off the line and getting separation

1452
01:17:42,560 --> 01:17:44,479
Speaker 2: much earlier than in the year's past. Not that it

1453
01:17:44,520 --> 01:17:47,320
Speaker 2: was a weakness, but I think you made something better

1454
01:17:47,640 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 2: in your game. Were you Was that a conscious focus

1455
01:17:51,080 --> 01:17:53,719
Speaker 2: of yours in the offseason to improve your release game.

1456
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:54,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure.

1457
01:17:55,000 --> 01:17:57,920
Speaker 16: I've always been like big big on the details, So

1458
01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,720
Speaker 16: released with something not necessarily that I struggle with, but

1459
01:18:01,840 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 16: I want it to be better with because in this league,

1460
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 16: if you can't get off the line, you can't win.

1461
01:18:05,400 --> 01:18:07,680
Speaker 16: So just being that's something I definitely focus on my

1462
01:18:07,680 --> 01:18:10,400
Speaker 16: trainer in the offseason and just kept working at it.

1463
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 16: And also my speed too because it helps with the

1464
01:18:13,080 --> 01:18:14,240
Speaker 16: releases getting off the ball.

1465
01:18:15,000 --> 01:18:18,800
Speaker 1: Yet, so this year, last year, great offensive year for

1466
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: the team. You guys, they scored all kinds of points.

1467
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:23,960
Speaker 1: Now a new face isn't including yourself on the active roster.

1468
01:18:24,160 --> 01:18:26,599
Speaker 1: Give us an idea of the personality of last year's

1469
01:18:26,600 --> 01:18:29,560
Speaker 1: group compared to this year's group. And obviously the expectations

1470
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:30,720
Speaker 1: are still high.

1471
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,320
Speaker 16: Yeah, like you said, expectations are still high, but the

1472
01:18:33,320 --> 01:18:35,960
Speaker 16: standards the same. We want to do the same things.

1473
01:18:35,960 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 16: On the offense, everybody eats is obviously the mantra, So

1474
01:18:39,800 --> 01:18:41,400
Speaker 16: everybody just has to go in and do their job

1475
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:43,439
Speaker 16: whenever their numbers called, and I think the rest of

1476
01:18:43,520 --> 01:18:44,560
Speaker 16: that it'll play out for it.

1477
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:49,360
Speaker 2: So special teams is another area where I think you've

1478
01:18:49,439 --> 01:18:53,080
Speaker 2: kind of raised your game, and it was funny. We're

1479
01:18:53,080 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 2: doing the broadcast of the Tampa game and you make

1480
01:18:55,800 --> 01:18:58,479
Speaker 2: the ridiculous one handed catch in the end zone, which

1481
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:00,519
Speaker 2: I'm still mad at the ref by the way, he ruined.

1482
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:04,040
Speaker 2: He ruined our touchdown. Touchdown, our touchdown, say this, he's

1483
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,639
Speaker 2: waving it off and you even looked at him, and you're.

1484
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,120
Speaker 1: Like, oh, come on, rued it. I love how you got.

1485
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:11,080
Speaker 1: You pointed at him because you had it, you knew

1486
01:19:11,080 --> 01:19:12,519
Speaker 1: it was a catch, and you point at him like,

1487
01:19:12,560 --> 01:19:14,200
Speaker 1: give me the sign he didn't do it. It's like,

1488
01:19:14,439 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: come on, man, he totally messed the whole moment.

1489
01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 2: So you make that. He'll play. So you make that play,

1490
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:24,000
Speaker 2: and then I think it's on the ensuing kickoff, you

1491
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:28,240
Speaker 2: guys lose contained and you come forty yards clean across

1492
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:30,160
Speaker 2: the field and knocked the guy out of bounds. Otherwise

1493
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,639
Speaker 2: he's out the gate probably and maybe in the end zone.

1494
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 2: To me, that was a microcosm of your summer and

1495
01:19:38,560 --> 01:19:41,600
Speaker 2: preseason because it's like they want him to do a

1496
01:19:41,600 --> 01:19:43,120
Speaker 2: little bit more on offense. Well, here he is in

1497
01:19:43,120 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 2: the last preseason game making a stupid catch and making

1498
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,360
Speaker 2: a play that isn't even there to be made, really,

1499
01:19:47,840 --> 01:19:50,040
Speaker 2: and then oh, they want him to play more on specialty.

1500
01:19:50,120 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 2: But there he is making it, running forty yards across

1501
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,719
Speaker 2: the field from the backside of the formation to knock

1502
01:19:54,760 --> 01:19:57,439
Speaker 2: a guy out of bounds and touchdown saving play. Like,

1503
01:19:58,320 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 2: there isn't anything you could have I don't think there

1504
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,840
Speaker 2: was anything else you could have really done. And I

1505
01:20:02,880 --> 01:20:05,400
Speaker 2: know in interviews you even said like, hey, I'm not

1506
01:20:05,479 --> 01:20:07,680
Speaker 2: taking it for granted. I'm not counting my chickens. Like

1507
01:20:07,800 --> 01:20:10,040
Speaker 2: last year, I thought I did enough to make the

1508
01:20:10,080 --> 01:20:13,639
Speaker 2: fifty three. But how how much on pins and needles

1509
01:20:13,680 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 2: were you? You know, when your knew roster cutdowns were

1510
01:20:17,520 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 2: coming last Tuesday? Were you're still on pins and needles

1511
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 2: or were you breathing a little easier with you never know?

1512
01:20:23,600 --> 01:20:25,320
Speaker 16: Right, Yeah, I was. I was on pins and needles

1513
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:29,639
Speaker 16: one hundred percent. I'm undrafted. Nothing's ever guaranteed, nothing's promised.

1514
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,320
Speaker 16: I think that Tuesday. I woke up at like around

1515
01:20:32,320 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 16: like four or five am, just sitting there and every

1516
01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:37,000
Speaker 16: time a notification on my phone went off.

1517
01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:39,360
Speaker 1: Looking at the here we got your phone to.

1518
01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:41,200
Speaker 16: Be quiet, it's a chick fil A notification.

1519
01:20:41,320 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: I'm like, so, did you did you get a call

1520
01:20:47,240 --> 01:20:51,200
Speaker 1: saying hey, you made it or just not getting no, don't.

1521
01:20:50,160 --> 01:20:53,040
Speaker 16: Get yeah, no, no phone call. I looked at my

1522
01:20:53,080 --> 01:20:54,280
Speaker 16: phone clock.

1523
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:57,080
Speaker 1: You gotta wait till four o'clock, till it's finalist, Like

1524
01:20:57,080 --> 01:20:58,639
Speaker 1: you're waiting like watching the clock.

1525
01:20:59,000 --> 01:20:59,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1526
01:20:59,479 --> 01:21:02,200
Speaker 16: I had a little idea around like noon or one,

1527
01:21:02,240 --> 01:21:04,120
Speaker 16: because that's the time we started meetings for the day

1528
01:21:04,200 --> 01:21:06,720
Speaker 16: that day. Okay, So around that time, it was like, okay,

1529
01:21:06,760 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 16: I still haven't got anything. I guess it's time to

1530
01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:10,519
Speaker 16: go in like a normal day for me, right, But

1531
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,120
Speaker 16: it was my first time making this, so I kind

1532
01:21:12,120 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 16: of like felt a little like different coming in almost

1533
01:21:15,680 --> 01:21:18,080
Speaker 16: like all right, So I guess we just keep moving.

1534
01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:25,679
Speaker 2: So what should we expect in terms of the family

1535
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:30,000
Speaker 2: contingent at this game on Sunday night? Because they may

1536
01:21:30,040 --> 01:21:32,479
Speaker 2: not have even had enough time in that game. You

1537
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:34,600
Speaker 2: got called up against the Jets last year and lo

1538
01:21:34,720 --> 01:21:36,880
Speaker 2: and behold, you score a sixty nine yard touchdown. If

1539
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:38,960
Speaker 2: your family wasn't here, they were probably ticked about it.

1540
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,120
Speaker 2: But now there's at least a ramp up for them

1541
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 2: to prepare and get here. So what should we expect

1542
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:47,479
Speaker 2: from the Shaver's family contingent this weekend?

1543
01:21:48,000 --> 01:21:51,160
Speaker 16: This weekend, my sister would be here, but she's not

1544
01:21:51,240 --> 01:21:53,439
Speaker 16: going to the game. She's coming to I just had

1545
01:21:53,479 --> 01:21:55,719
Speaker 16: a beautiful baby girl, just two and a half months.

1546
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,240
Speaker 16: She's coming to spend time with her at the house

1547
01:21:58,280 --> 01:21:59,040
Speaker 16: and watch over her.

1548
01:21:59,120 --> 01:22:01,640
Speaker 2: Okay, then built in babysitters.

1549
01:22:02,000 --> 01:22:05,479
Speaker 16: Yeah, it's not about She's not coming from me at all.

1550
01:22:07,680 --> 01:22:09,880
Speaker 16: But I'm sure over the next couple weeks it'll be

1551
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:11,080
Speaker 16: flowing for sure.

1552
01:22:11,160 --> 01:22:12,439
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, that's awesome.

1553
01:22:12,479 --> 01:22:13,040
Speaker 1: That's awesome.

1554
01:22:13,240 --> 01:22:15,000
Speaker 2: Avory Carter Shavers.

1555
01:22:14,680 --> 01:22:17,760
Speaker 16: Right, yeah, Vory Capri. We changed it after after the birth.

1556
01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 16: We actually to change the middle name Capri.

1557
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:23,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, congratulations, you know you could do that.

1558
01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 16: Yeah, we we had to go ask for the papers back.

1559
01:22:26,080 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 16: My fiance was like, let's change it. I was like,

1560
01:22:29,520 --> 01:22:30,880
Speaker 16: all right, we got to call her nurse back in.

1561
01:22:30,960 --> 01:22:31,960
Speaker 16: We got to get that paper back.

1562
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,960
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, that is wild. That's wild all right.

1563
01:22:35,040 --> 01:22:37,479
Speaker 2: Time now for this week's tim Bits time Out, presented

1564
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:40,080
Speaker 2: by of course, Tim Horton's where we solicit the fans

1565
01:22:40,120 --> 01:22:43,880
Speaker 2: to ask Bill's players a unique question. So this one

1566
01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,200
Speaker 2: comes from Nate this week, and he asks, do you

1567
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,960
Speaker 2: have any pregame routines that help you ease out the

1568
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:54,479
Speaker 2: nerves the nerves or even just feel more ready for

1569
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:54,880
Speaker 2: the game.

1570
01:22:56,680 --> 01:22:59,800
Speaker 16: Honestly, I'm really big in my faith. It's my number

1571
01:22:59,840 --> 01:23:03,400
Speaker 16: one thing, my number one support system. So my I

1572
01:23:03,439 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 16: listened to my music whatever it is like, it could

1573
01:23:06,200 --> 01:23:09,120
Speaker 16: be slow jams, rap, what anything. But right before the game,

1574
01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:11,280
Speaker 16: when we come in from warm ups and we go

1575
01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,000
Speaker 16: back out, I put on gospel music.

1576
01:23:13,080 --> 01:23:14,280
Speaker 1: Oh okay, and it's.

1577
01:23:14,080 --> 01:23:16,280
Speaker 16: Just it calms me, like we're getting ready to go

1578
01:23:16,320 --> 01:23:19,360
Speaker 16: to war. Yeah, so going out there, we're all nervous

1579
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:21,519
Speaker 16: and anxious. It's like it doesn't really work for me.

1580
01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:24,040
Speaker 16: So the gospel music is something that calms me, calls

1581
01:23:24,080 --> 01:23:25,640
Speaker 16: my nerves and gets me locked in ready to go.

1582
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:26,120
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1583
01:23:26,160 --> 01:23:28,040
Speaker 2: And I know you've been around for three years, so

1584
01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:31,240
Speaker 2: you know you've you've seen the atmosphere here on a

1585
01:23:31,240 --> 01:23:34,880
Speaker 2: prime time opener at home. What are you going to

1586
01:23:34,920 --> 01:23:37,360
Speaker 2: be telling the rookies so that you know their eyes

1587
01:23:37,360 --> 01:23:39,320
Speaker 2: aren't popping out of their head and the freaking out

1588
01:23:39,360 --> 01:23:39,960
Speaker 2: before the game.

1589
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,080
Speaker 16: Yeah, I'll just make sure I tell them you're playing

1590
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:44,479
Speaker 16: the same game you've been playing. And that's something somebody

1591
01:23:44,479 --> 01:23:47,840
Speaker 16: told me last year before my first call up. He's like,

1592
01:23:47,960 --> 01:23:50,680
Speaker 16: you're nervous, and I was like, Eh, yeah, he was like,

1593
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:53,120
Speaker 16: for what, you're playing the same game, even playing since

1594
01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:54,200
Speaker 16: you were a kid, And they kind of put it

1595
01:23:54,200 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 16: in perspective for me, like it's literally the same game.

1596
01:23:56,320 --> 01:23:57,439
Speaker 16: There's just more people watch it.

1597
01:23:57,520 --> 01:24:01,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, and certainly too. We've watched you go from undrafted

1598
01:24:01,400 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: to earning a roster spot over the last couple of years,

1599
01:24:04,479 --> 01:24:06,679
Speaker 1: and you one of the things about we talk about

1600
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 1: it all the time on our show about guys get

1601
01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: what they earn in this building, and they don't give

1602
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:13,760
Speaker 1: a guy this, even if he's drafted high whatever. He

1603
01:24:13,800 --> 01:24:15,599
Speaker 1: has to earn his spot and hear in his reps.

1604
01:24:15,800 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: And you've earned every bit of it. So you kind

1605
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:19,120
Speaker 1: of kind of remember that, right. I Mean, it's just like, hey,

1606
01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 1: I got here because I deserve to be.

1607
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:23,719
Speaker 16: Here for sure, one hundred percent. It's something that's always

1608
01:24:23,760 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 16: on my mind too, is like I've been I went

1609
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:31,439
Speaker 16: to three different schools, I've been through the gutter. I

1610
01:24:31,479 --> 01:24:33,360
Speaker 16: deserved this moment and I'm gonna show why I got

1611
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 16: it right.

1612
01:24:34,080 --> 01:24:37,519

Speaker 2: congrats and get very happy for you luck good luck

1616
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:47,040
Speaker 2: against the Ravens. Get that big dub to kick the

1617
01:24:47,080 --> 01:24:47,960
Speaker 2: season off right.

1618
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:48,680
Speaker 16: Yes, sir, thank you.

1619
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:52,160
Speaker 2: That's Tyrrel Shavers, Bill's wide receiver joining us here in studio.

1620
01:24:52,240 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 2: Player Appearances presented by Tim Hortons. Will take a break

1621
01:24:54,880 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 2: and be back to wrap things up next here on

1622
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,040
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Collide hellth It's Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1623
01:25:08,360 --> 01:25:10,200
Speaker 2: All right back here on One Bill's Live. Really good

1624
01:25:10,200 --> 01:25:14,400
Speaker 2: conversation there with Tyrrel Shavers. I wanted to ask him

1625
01:25:14,439 --> 01:25:17,320
Speaker 2: about cutdown Day because he's been on the wrong side

1626
01:25:17,320 --> 01:25:18,200
Speaker 2: of that day before.

1627
01:25:18,240 --> 01:25:19,800
Speaker 1: So again, and.

1628
01:25:19,760 --> 01:25:25,639
Speaker 2: When you're undrafted, as he said himself, nobody owes you anything.

1629
01:25:26,160 --> 01:25:31,160
Speaker 2: So but I thought he put together the most complete

1630
01:25:31,200 --> 01:25:35,240
Speaker 2: preseason of anybody on the offensive side of the ball,

1631
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:40,880
Speaker 2: maybe with the possible exception of Frank or Junior. Defensively,

1632
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:43,160
Speaker 2: I thought Michael Hoyt was probably one of the best

1633
01:25:43,160 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 2: players on defense. He was a menace for most of

1634
01:25:46,479 --> 01:25:51,719
Speaker 2: the preseason. But man, I mean Shavers from start to finish.

1635
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:55,200
Speaker 2: I mean from the giant play he made in the

1636
01:25:55,240 --> 01:25:58,160
Speaker 2: Giants game at the end of the first half. You know,

1637
01:25:58,240 --> 01:26:02,400
Speaker 2: to that ridiculous one handed grace up against Tampa Bay. Yeah,

1638
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,280
Speaker 2: talk about earning the right like he literally could not

1639
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:07,400
Speaker 2: have done anything else.

1640
01:26:07,479 --> 01:26:10,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, he took advantage of every opportunity, even came up

1641
01:26:10,560 --> 01:26:12,800
Speaker 1: big on some opportunities that didn't look all that great,

1642
01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:15,000
Speaker 1: like this catching in Tampa Bay that we're watching now,

1643
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,680
Speaker 1: the touchdown catch was absolutely phenomenal. But he was consistent.

1644
01:26:18,720 --> 01:26:22,759
Speaker 1: He was You're right, he was. It's hard to imagine

1645
01:26:22,800 --> 01:26:25,360
Speaker 1: him doing anything more. But like we always say, we were,

1646
01:26:26,040 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: I mean, we were at practice over at Saint John

1647
01:26:27,880 --> 01:26:30,759
Speaker 1: Fisher and all that, But you know, we're not in meetings.

1648
01:26:30,760 --> 01:26:32,880
Speaker 1: We don't, you know, know all the ins and outs

1649
01:26:32,920 --> 01:26:34,960
Speaker 1: of what he's being asked, what his feedback is from

1650
01:26:35,000 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 1: the coaching staff, how he was being coached, what he

1651
01:26:37,280 --> 01:26:40,000
Speaker 1: was being told. So there's a lot in the relationship

1652
01:26:40,000 --> 01:26:42,320
Speaker 1: between the coaching staff and the players and their evaluation

1653
01:26:42,439 --> 01:26:47,200
Speaker 1: thereof that we don't know about. So, but what you

1654
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: said is completely true. Offensively, he may have been the

1655
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:54,080
Speaker 1: best player on the team throughout the games of the preseason.

1656
01:26:54,400 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: The three games of the preseason, he was the most

1657
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: consistent in all three. He made the biggest plays of

1658
01:26:59,800 --> 01:27:04,479
Speaker 1: any Buddy so from from that perspective, yeah, we figured

1659
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:06,720
Speaker 1: he was absolutely on, but then again, you never know.

1660
01:27:06,800 --> 01:27:07,600
Speaker 1: Even he didn't know.

1661
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,040
Speaker 2: And look, we don't know if he's gonna be up

1662
01:27:10,080 --> 01:27:13,080
Speaker 2: in active Sunday night, but I would tend to think

1663
01:27:13,120 --> 01:27:15,519
Speaker 2: he's doing enough on special teams to get a jersey

1664
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:19,719
Speaker 2: on Sunday night. And maybe he's not one of the

1665
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:21,880
Speaker 2: top four guys that are on the field at receiver

1666
01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:24,280
Speaker 2: for them, but if they're in the red zone, I

1667
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:28,040
Speaker 2: really like the idea of having Dawson Knox on the field,

1668
01:27:28,160 --> 01:27:30,080
Speaker 2: Keon Coleman on the field, and a six foot four

1669
01:27:30,120 --> 01:27:32,360
Speaker 2: Tyreel Shavers on the field in the red zone. Sign

1670
01:27:32,400 --> 01:27:34,360
Speaker 2: me up for more of that. You know how physical

1671
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 2: the Ravens corners play, They dare officials to throw flags, Yeah,

1672
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:41,920
Speaker 2: they do. So small separator guys are gonna get hung

1673
01:27:41,960 --> 01:27:44,639
Speaker 2: on to by these dbs and not.

1674
01:27:44,560 --> 01:27:46,120
Speaker 1: Gonna let him go, That's right.

1675
01:27:46,320 --> 01:27:48,760
Speaker 2: So who do you need down there? Guys that are

1676
01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,000
Speaker 2: open even when they're not, and a six foot four

1677
01:27:51,000 --> 01:27:53,360
Speaker 2: tyreel Shavers is open even when he's not. As evidenced

1678
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:54,360
Speaker 2: by that Tampa Bay touch.

1679
01:27:54,400 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 1: We've been talking about it all week and even Josh

1680
01:27:58,240 --> 01:28:01,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has set it in his host practice remarks.

1681
01:28:01,560 --> 01:28:04,040
Speaker 1: They've got a bunch of first rounders in the back

1682
01:28:04,120 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 1: end of their defense, all athletic, so you need some

1683
01:28:08,000 --> 01:28:12,439
Speaker 1: physical gifts to out athleticize somebody for a jump ball

1684
01:28:12,479 --> 01:28:16,120
Speaker 1: back there, and Shavers and Keon are perfect for that.

1685
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:18,160
Speaker 2: And then just put Dawson Knox out there at six',

1686
01:28:18,280 --> 01:28:21,439
