1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: Oh a good time of my Steve Caspers Dome to

2
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: Dome to do text time, Good afternoon, good afternoon, Welcome,

3
00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 1: Welcome geography, Steve Casker here in newer a Field art

4
00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: your park. Cloudy, rainy day with the forecast calling for

5
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,080
Speaker 1: more rain, Steve. I got the distinct feeling this morning

6
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:33,640
Speaker 1: on my way to work and actually put seven thirty eight.

7
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:36,479
Speaker 1: The summer is over. You know what I'm saying. I

8
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:38,080
Speaker 1: hate to be the one to say that, but what

9
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,800
Speaker 1: just feels like summer is over, doesn't it? I gotta

10
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: tell you that it's funny you say that. I was

11
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 1: sitting on a on a porch today drinking coffee. When

12
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: I got up early, I smelled the same thing in

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: the air. Yeah, I thought, you know what, the Bills

14
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: have named a starting quarterback for the third preseason game.

15
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,560
Speaker 1: Ser so the traditional signal of the end of something. No,

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:01,800
Speaker 1: actually I did. I smelled something. You know. However, you

17
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:04,240
Speaker 1: get what you know, You get out there and you think,

18
00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 1: oh yeah, you kind of start to foreshadow what the

19
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,080
Speaker 1: season's going to look like. That's the exact that's the

20
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 1: first time was this morning, when I was sitting there

21
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:13,000
Speaker 1: drinking a cup of coffee. I looked out and I

22
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: saw just you know that, you know, everything's still lush

23
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,440
Speaker 1: and green and thick. It was like the greatest growing

24
00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: summer of all time. Man, that was like a jungle

25
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 1: at my place. But I did sense a break in

26
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,880
Speaker 1: the area, chink in the armor of summer. This morning.

27
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 1: I was just this morning and a great summer. It

28
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:31,480
Speaker 1: was right, I mean about it. You'd starting here, you

29
00:01:31,520 --> 00:01:33,120
Speaker 1: went here once in a while during the summer, and

30
00:01:33,120 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: that was we did had a great vacation filled summer. Well,

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: we all did. I had a great summer, id weddings

32
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,960
Speaker 1: and good family gatherings, and it was in nice weather.

33
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,680
Speaker 1: And I played enough golf, and you've played not enough

34
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: but great golf. I mean virtually no golf, but you

35
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 1: played great. I don't want to know, you said a

36
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: sixty nine. I don't want to I'm not here to

37
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: pronounce the end of summer. And I know there's good

38
00:01:56,520 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 1: weather to come, maybe sooner rather than later. But today,

39
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 1: all I'm saying is today feels like the end of summer.

40
00:02:02,360 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: And because the rain anything, because of the rain, because

41
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,120
Speaker 1: camps coming in here to go to work. No, No,

42
00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: you know you're not looking forward to player's got a

43
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 1: day off on a Tuesday traditionally. Well, there's a lot

44
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,359
Speaker 1: of players here. Listen, man, they got their nose on

45
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,120
Speaker 1: the grindstone. Yeah, that nobody's made the team yet. I

46
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 1: was impressed that the number of players. Even just now,

47
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: walking through the field house, I saw Murphy doing his stuff,

48
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: anxious see him play. I wonder if he's gonna play

49
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:28,400
Speaker 1: this week. Hope So yeah, me too. But that's not

50
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,080
Speaker 1: the news. It's not Trent Murphy's not the news. No. Um.

51
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: The news actually came out last night actually, and I

52
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: was busy doing stuff. I drove up the lockports for

53
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: some family stuff. You were busy with your son, and

54
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: your phone starts buzzing, right, whoa, all of a sudden,

55
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's going to start this Sunday. And then later

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 1: I'm tuned in a little bit too, the pregame show

57
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: for Monday Night football, and whoa. AJ McCarron is gonna

58
00:02:50,160 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: be Okay does not have a fracture collar bone. So

59
00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 1: the quarterback picture, which has been in a constant state

60
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,679
Speaker 1: of flux for the Bills, took another turn yesterday, a

61
00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: very interesting turn. I thought, what did you make it? Well?

62
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,800
Speaker 1: It puts it in the perspective, and I had thought

63
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:05,079
Speaker 1: in my own mind and we'd talk, you know, we've

64
00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: been talking about this forever, but I really didn't think

65
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: they wanted Josh Allen to start at the beginning of

66
00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,560
Speaker 1: the season on September ninth. They just didn't think it

67
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 1: was going to happen. And I think he has exceeded

68
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 1: expectations thus far. And it's gotten to the point now

69
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 1: not only with the AJ injury, but the fact that

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 1: he's exceeded expectations. He's shown him something whatever that may

71
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: be on and off the field, and he's now I

72
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: think in the mix. I think he's got a chance

73
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 1: at it. I never really thought they wanted that to

74
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 1: happen or thought it would happen. He was behind at

75
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,280
Speaker 1: the beginning. He didn't wasn't there for OTAs because of

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 1: the draft. He finally got drafted. Now he's in. It

77
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,920
Speaker 1: was kind of a month behind installation. They were taking

78
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: reps with ones and twos, and he's playing well when

79
00:03:51,160 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 1: he got the chance, but he was with three. You know,

80
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:55,360
Speaker 1: the whole nine yards and all the things we've been

81
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,200
Speaker 1: watching and develop and all of a sudden they're thinking

82
00:04:00,040 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: we can't hold him back, you know. I mean, I

83
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: think his physical abilities are just that good, are just

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: that good, and I think he's got the mentality. It's

85
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,840
Speaker 1: so far it's shown that he can match it. But

86
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,640
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so much he doesn't know. But I

87
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:17,960
Speaker 1: think his physical abilities have outweighed his inexperience. All of us,

88
00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 1: Steve and I you Bill's fan in the audience, probably

89
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: looked at yesterday's news about Josh Chandling starting against the

90
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:27,000
Speaker 1: Bengals and immediately began to think, what does this mean

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: for the Ravens game? What does this mean for the

92
00:04:28,760 --> 00:04:31,680
Speaker 1: regular season opener September night? That's really the question we

93
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 1: put on the table today. Look, when Josh starts Sunday

94
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 1: against the Bengals, all three quarterbacks on the roster will

95
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: have started at least one game with a fourth game

96
00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 1: to come. And we all know how the fourth game

97
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,919
Speaker 1: usually plays out. Although it may be more important for

98
00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,680
Speaker 1: this quarterback battle than we think right now, but all

99
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: three quarterbacks will have one preseason start coming up to Sunday.

100
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: So what do you predict? Not who you hopen for,

101
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,640
Speaker 1: not who you wish for? This is our Twitter poll today.

102
00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 1: Who do you predict will be the bill starting quarterback

103
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 1: September to Baltimore. It's a tough one. Look, we all

104
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: have favorites. I've said for months, I hope that it's

105
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,440
Speaker 1: Josh Shallen. I'm not, you know, I wasn't wedded to

106
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 1: that idea, but just because it would indicate that he

107
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 1: has progressed that much and played that while in preseason

108
00:05:12,440 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: that he could start the season opener. So we'll see

109
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 1: if that happens. But the question we're asking folks on Twitter,

110
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:19,800
Speaker 1: who do you predict will be the bill starting quarterback

111
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 1: September ninth to Baltimore. You can tweet in a response,

112
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,200
Speaker 1: you can vote on our Twitter poll. To poll is

113
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,920
Speaker 1: up and running, and it's pretty significantly in favor of

114
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,239
Speaker 1: Josh Allen so far predicted though. Yeah, but this is prediction,

115
00:05:30,279 --> 00:05:32,159
Speaker 1: not who you're voting for, not who you're rooting for.

116
00:05:32,200 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 1: Sixty percent of respondent say they think John Shallen will

117
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:38,080
Speaker 1: be the September ninth starter. Thirty six percent say they

118
00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:40,839
Speaker 1: think it'll be Nathan Peterman, four percent say. Only four

119
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,400
Speaker 1: percent say AJ McCarron. We'll take your phone calls on

120
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: this too, Not who are you pushing for? Who you'd

121
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: like to see, But who do you predict will be

122
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 1: the bill starting quarterback September nineth Give us a call

123
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 1: eight h three oh five fifty or toll free from

124
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,920
Speaker 1: outside Buffalo one eight eight eight five. So it's interesting

125
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 1: to me, and I think you're correcting if I'm assuming

126
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: about this. You think you were hoping Josh Allen started

127
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: because you trusted that the coaching staff wouldn't put him

128
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 1: in there unless he was ready. Yeah, that's your that's

129
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,400
Speaker 1: your thing. I mean that I don't know that he's

130
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 1: gonna start September right right, we no nobody knows. I mean,

131
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: that's it's and I think a lot of feedback we're

132
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,400
Speaker 1: getting on Twitter even now, people are thinking the same

133
00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: thing that they know it all comes down to this game,

134
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:28,000
Speaker 1: and he hasn't said how long he's gonna play. Traditionally

135
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 1: it's like three quarters, you know, the starter in this game.

136
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 1: I don't know that the Josh Allen's gonna get that much,

137
00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:34,760
Speaker 1: whether it's still a race. Maybe they'll give half to

138
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, half to Nathan Peter. Maybe they'll give all

139
00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:41,919
Speaker 1: three guys a quarter and then let aj mccaren do

140
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: the second half. Like that it would be his turn

141
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 1: to do that, right, it would be Josh Allen starting

142
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: the first quarter, Nathan Peterman the second, and AJ McCarron

143
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: the entire second half, if they did this game exactly

144
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:55,560
Speaker 1: like they did the other game. But McCarron has the

145
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 1: health issue. Well, yeah, that's the thing. McCarron doesn't seem

146
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 1: to be too hurt at all. Mean, and I told

147
00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: you yesterday when he when he got his shoulder hurt

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: in the game, he played three plays past that and

149
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 1: through the football was gonna throw it twice and Gott

150
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: actually delivered the ball once. So I kind of figured

151
00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: his collar bone was in one piece, but it was

152
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: reported that it wasn't. But you know that's well, here's

153
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: what I say about mccaren. The Bills haven't said anything

154
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,440
Speaker 1: formal or official about mccaren stead of hitt and I'm

155
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,080
Speaker 1: gonna wait, I mean, especially based on the report that

156
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:31,360
Speaker 1: came out over the weekend that he had a hairline fracture,

157
00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: and then it turns out he doesn't. I think I

158
00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: see the reports that it's it's not a fracture, and

159
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: we're going to talk about that, and I know that's

160
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: good news, but I'm not. I'm waiting until I hear

161
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: for sure whether he's ready. I don't know. My point is,

162
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:46,440
Speaker 1: because mccaren played this Sunday, I don't know that he

163
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:48,559
Speaker 1: might be banged up enough not to play this Sunday

164
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,000
Speaker 1: against it. I don't think he's out of the mix

165
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:52,760
Speaker 1: to start on September night. I don't either. I don't

166
00:07:52,800 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 1: not at all. I mean, he didn't look good in

167
00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 1: the game against Cleveland, no question. That doesn't mean everybody

168
00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: else gets promoted though, that's you know, that's what's happened.

169
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 1: This is also we don't even know that this is

170
00:08:03,960 --> 00:08:06,400
Speaker 1: out of the realm of the plan that they laid

171
00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:09,720
Speaker 1: out before training camp started. This may be exactly what

172
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 1: they were planning to do from day one with these quarterbacks.

173
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: It might have been Listen, Josh Allen's starting the third

174
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 1: preseason game, that's it they were gonna you know, we

175
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: still don't even know that. We haven't had a chance

176
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,880
Speaker 1: to ask McDermott that even so, I think when McDermott

177
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,800
Speaker 1: comes out he's going to speak to the media Tomorrowrow

178
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,240
Speaker 1: ten out, somebody asks him about quarterbacks. Yeah, I hope

179
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: they asked him that this was if this was part

180
00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: of the plan from the beginning. If this rotation is

181
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 1: still what they laid out weeks ago, because if it is,

182
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 1: then what we were looking at and trying to read

183
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,520
Speaker 1: into how good these are, how bad these guys are playing,

184
00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: is irrelevant. They were gonna make it this these changes anyway.

185
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what coach McDermot would say about that.

186
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's That's why I want somebody

187
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,280
Speaker 1: ask him. I don't know if he'll answer you, because

188
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 1: he doesn't have to number one number. You know, what's

189
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,400
Speaker 1: what's the to the benefit of the team. That's what

190
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: they'll look at. There's a benefit of the team. If

191
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,680
Speaker 1: he admits that they are impressed with the Josh Allen's play,

192
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,240
Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, then he might just say no,

193
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:07,120
Speaker 1: this was part of the plan. We'll know. This is

194
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:08,560
Speaker 1: part of the plan from the beginning. He was going

195
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 1: to start preseason game number three right, And I don't

196
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,080
Speaker 1: know that we're going to be telling to me if

197
00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: you can get an answer on the I don't think

198
00:09:15,360 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: you'll get Ask him. If you ask him, he'll answer,

199
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: if you can come he won't answer, Mike, he won't.

200
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: I'm just some guy it's just intriguing. It remains intriguing

201
00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: the quarterback question for the Bills, with all sorts of opinions,

202
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 1: both locally and out of town. We've got a couple

203
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: of guests today to talk about this and other things too.

204
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,080
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn, former first round draft pick quarterback of the

205
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:40,679
Speaker 1: Cleveland Brown's going to join us at the bottom of

206
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,560
Speaker 1: the hour twelve thirty Big Josh Allen fan. He's now

207
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: a a analyst for Serious X NFL Radio. Brady Quinn

208
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:50,599
Speaker 1: think said, Josh Allen's done. All right. We'll take a

209
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:54,280
Speaker 1: little turn off the quarterback path at one o'clock with

210
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 1: Clint Oldenberg, a former NFL lineman who is now a

211
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 1: game designer for Madden nineteen NFL med in NFL nineteen.

212
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: I should say Clinton Oldenberg will join us to talk

213
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: about the game, about the Bills rankings in the game

214
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,680
Speaker 1: that's coming up. At one Peter Schreeger from NFL dot

215
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: Com is going to join us NFL Network, I should

216
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,199
Speaker 1: say Peter Schreeger, also a sideline reporter for the Los

Speaker 1: Angeles Rams preseason games, and Lorenzo Alexander in the two

218
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 1: o'clock hour, I forgetting anyone, I think that's it. Right,

219
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:20,719
Speaker 1: we have a good show, but a good show. I

220
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 1: think that's it. That's a lot of stuff packing in.

221
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:25,560
Speaker 1: There's not much time. Room for you and me, Murphy,

222
00:10:25,720 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: room for you. What are we gonna do? Plenty of room,

223
00:10:28,520 --> 00:10:30,800
Speaker 1: lots to talk about quarterback switches and who do you

224
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: predict will be the bill starting quarterback September ninth. You

225
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: can tweet it in or give us a call eight

226
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,079
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty or two three one eight

227
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,959
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty. Plenty of time.

228
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 1: We're here until three. Let's let's talk. Let's talk to

229
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: us people about quarterbacks. Kevin in Forestville, New York. Kevin,

230
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. Yes, I think they

231
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: should hold Ellen back. Look what Green Bay did They

232
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:57,880
Speaker 1: held Aaron Rodgers back? Look what New England did they

233
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:03,680
Speaker 1: held back Tom Brady. I think they should start Nathan Peterman,

234
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: White Peterman, because I don't know, and nobody really knows,

235
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: and they're not talking about it about A. J. McCarron's injury. Well,

236
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:18,800
Speaker 1: and the Bills would hold back Josh Allen because the

237
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,680
Speaker 1: um the Patriots did it twenty years ago, and the

238
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:25,160
Speaker 1: Packers did it fifteen years ago. No good cook coaches

239
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 1: do that. That's not necessarily right. I mean, Kevin, you

240
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: gotta remember Aaron Rodgers was on the bench because he

241
00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:34,440
Speaker 1: had a Hall of Famer in Brett Farve in front

242
00:11:34,480 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 1: of him. And Tom Brady was on the bench because

243
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,560
Speaker 1: he had Drew Brees ahead of him, and two days

244
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 1: before Drew Brees got hurt, he had just signed one

245
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: hundred and ten million dollar contract. You don't have Drew

246
00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: Brees or Brett Farve ahead of Josh Allen. You don't

247
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:51,280
Speaker 1: have um, you don't have Tom Brady ahead of Jimmy Garoppolo.

248
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: You don't have Joe Montana ahead of Steve Young. I mean,

249
00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: those are all guys that sat the bench in the

250
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,960
Speaker 1: NFL and got in and who had great careers afterwards.

251
00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: But they weren't sitting on the bench because because they

252
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,319
Speaker 1: had Nathan Peterman ahead of them. They weren't sitting on

253
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:07,880
Speaker 1: the bench because they had a J. McCarron ahead him.

254
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: They were sitting on the bench because they had some

255
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 1: pretty good guys ahead of him, and threw at two

256
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: of those guys were Hall of famers sitting there. So

257
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 1: I mean, you think you know who's Ben Roethlisberger is

258
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 1: gonna sit down because now they've got Mason Rudolph that

259
00:12:23,760 --> 00:12:25,439
Speaker 1: they they're gonna hold back. I mean, that's not the

260
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:27,360
Speaker 1: way it works. I mean, Mason Rudolph's sitting on the

261
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,240
Speaker 1: bench because Ben Roethlisberger's on the field. You don't. You

262
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 1: don't set these young quarterbacks down just because it's safe.

263
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,360
Speaker 1: You set them down because you got a better option.

264
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: That's why you set them down. If they're the best option,

265
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: they're on the field. Period. Andrew Luck, he didn't wait,

266
00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:46,560
Speaker 1: he didn't wait. I mean, that's the way it is.

267
00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: These guys are human beings. It's not that. It's not

268
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,040
Speaker 1: that simple. Everything that works for one team doesn't work

269
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: for another. And I'll tell you another I'll give you

270
00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:56,280
Speaker 1: another example. I don't want to get off on this, murk,

271
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:58,480
Speaker 1: but you're already getting off, all right. Sorry. San Diego

272
00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: Chargers drafted Drew Brees number one overall. Not overall, they

273
00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:04,439
Speaker 1: were he was a first round draft pick as a

274
00:13:04,520 --> 00:13:09,200
Speaker 1: quarterback back in the day. He played right away for

275
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,839
Speaker 1: two years. In his third year, they were pretty sure

276
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: Drew Brees could not play, and they drafted Philip Rivers

277
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 1: and when they drafted Philip Rivers. Drew Brees became a

278
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:19,599
Speaker 1: really good quarterback because he didn't want to give the

279
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: job up, and he became the Drew Brees we know today.

280
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: And he went and he got his shoulder hurt. At

281
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: the end of that year, they said, we're gonna put

282
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers in anyway, Jo, We're not gonna let that

283
00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:32,440
Speaker 1: one good year off Drew Brees color or thinking about

284
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: what we knew about him. So he goes to New

285
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: Orleans and wins a super Bowl, and Philip Rivers has

286
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:39,360
Speaker 1: yet to win the Super Bowl and doesn't even get

287
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,600
Speaker 1: to the playoffs usually, so you can take that. I mean,

288
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,560
Speaker 1: these guys are human beings. There's no pat answer for

289
00:13:45,640 --> 00:13:48,440
Speaker 1: any of this. There's no pat answer. You can't say

290
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: by sitting him down it's gonna be good, or by

291
00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:53,760
Speaker 1: playing him he's gonna be good. Either one could could

292
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 1: be the right call, and either one could fail miserably.

293
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: Sometime in the next week or two in this discussion

294
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: is going to be ongoing. I think for a couple

295
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,960
Speaker 1: of weeks we should make a list on the show

296
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: and solicit input from folks and what the considerations are

297
00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: for the bills, not for NFL in general, because I

298
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 1: think if you have effectively pointed out, there is no

299
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:15,959
Speaker 1: book on how to do this. But for the Bills,

300
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: what are the considerations? How's the rookie playing? How how

301
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: good are the veterans? Who who are with him? And

302
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 1: the depth chart? Who are the opponents? Are you home

303
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,760
Speaker 1: or away? We All of these are considerations. All of

304
00:14:25,800 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: these are considerations and what you decide to do, and

305
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: most maybe the most important consideration is what do you

306
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: think your season is going to look like? You know,

307
00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:37,240
Speaker 1: are you looking to contend for a playoff spot? Again,

308
00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: of course you are, But are you willing to sacrifice

309
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:41,880
Speaker 1: some of that in order to get development time from

310
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,160
Speaker 1: from a rookie quarterback? Maybe you are? You know what

311
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 1: I mean? I think we should almost rank the considerations

312
00:14:46,920 --> 00:14:49,560
Speaker 1: that are going It's an extremely it's a very interesting

313
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: decision that Sean McDermott has us. It's not a it's

314
00:14:52,960 --> 00:14:55,920
Speaker 1: it's difficult, but the fact that the quarterbacks are playing well,

315
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 1: and I agree with you you said yesterday Nathan Peterman

316
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: probably can't play much better. The fact that all three

317
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: of them are playing pretty well doesn't make it more difficult.

318
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: I think it makes it interesting, more intriguing, but makes

319
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,600
Speaker 1: it almost fun. It's a big decision, though, and there's

320
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: a lot of factors involved, and we should rank those

321
00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 1: factors at some point on the show in the next week.

322
00:15:12,840 --> 00:15:16,120
Speaker 1: Or do you think that the Tyrod Taylor trade cleared

323
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:20,160
Speaker 1: the deck so that they could start him, start Josh

324
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: whoever it was they were going to draft, whether it's

325
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,320
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Baker, Mayfield, Sam Darnold, Josh Rose, and you

326
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,720
Speaker 1: name it, if they were going to get one of

327
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: those four guys which their hearts were set on and

328
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: they needed to get one for their future. Do you

329
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,960
Speaker 1: think the Tyrod Taylor trade and the fact they brought

330
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: in a j. McCarron after he set on the market

331
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: for two weeks and Captain Nathan Peterman, do you think

332
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,440
Speaker 1: that cleared the decks knowing that this guy was going

333
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: to be the guy? Yes, but I think there was

334
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: more to it than that, including moving getting something in

335
00:15:47,160 --> 00:15:49,360
Speaker 1: returning to get up there, to get us to move

336
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: up right. I think it was also a sense that

337
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 1: you know, three years into Tyrode as a starter, we

338
00:15:54,520 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: see who he is, even even though this group only

339
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,440
Speaker 1: had him for one year. We want to be better

340
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: than that. I think that was kind of the motive force.

341
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,160
Speaker 1: I mean, they benched him nine games in last year.

342
00:16:02,200 --> 00:16:04,880
Speaker 1: They benched him, which was a clear signal of what

343
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: they thought about how good he could be, how good

344
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: he was going to be last year, and this coming

345
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: year only through for fifty six yards in a game. Yeah,

346
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: I'm not finding him for that. I understood why they

347
00:16:14,080 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: get it. I mean, they got crushed in the media

348
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:18,320
Speaker 1: for doing it, but but they were a sign of

349
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,080
Speaker 1: what they thought of Tyrode, how good they could be

350
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,200
Speaker 1: with him last year and nine games in. Yeah, and

351
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 1: I think also the fact that they kept it Nathan Peterman.

352
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 1: They liked him, no question. They drafted him. They thought

353
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: they liked what he brings to the table. They did

354
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 1: not make a play for any of the free agent

355
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: quarterbacks or not that they big money, Yeah, Kirk Cousins,

356
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Case Keenham, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford. You go down the

357
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 1: list of guys, there's a lot of veteran quarterbacks out

358
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,280
Speaker 1: there that it would be really hard for any rookie

359
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: coming in the league to beat any of those guys

360
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: out given the year they had a year ago. So

361
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: they did not make a play for one of those guys.

362
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,720
Speaker 1: Do you think that kind of throwing forward now, has

363
00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,640
Speaker 1: this been kind of the culmination of what they thought

364
00:17:03,640 --> 00:17:06,360
Speaker 1: was going to happen from the very beginning, Yes, but

365
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 1: I do think well, I don't think, but I do

366
00:17:08,920 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: think part of their plan was to leave it open

367
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 1: and not make snap judgments and see whether McCarron or

368
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 1: Peterman for that matter, could be the guy. And I

369
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:18,400
Speaker 1: still think that is open. That's still an open question. Yeah,

370
00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,480
Speaker 1: I don't think they actually had made the decision to

371
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: start him. I think they're gonna bring him in here

372
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:24,080
Speaker 1: and say, Okay, you got to play better than these guys.

373
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: I don't want you to have to play better than

374
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 1: Sam Bradford or somebody like that, or Case Keenum or

375
00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:30,840
Speaker 1: one of those guys that's been lightened it up, or

376
00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins for that matter. We're gonna you know, now,

377
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,160
Speaker 1: the Kana City Chiefs did that. They let him sit

378
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,920
Speaker 1: for an entire year behind Alex Smith, and now then

379
00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: they jettisoned Alex Smith. I don't think the Bills wanted

380
00:17:43,600 --> 00:17:45,199
Speaker 1: to have to go through that. I think they like

381
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,199
Speaker 1: the two guys they got. I think AJ mcc they

382
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: think AJ McCarron and Nathan Peterman is more than serviceable.

383
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,160
Speaker 1: I think they can win. They believe they can win

384
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:55,240
Speaker 1: games with those guys, but they want to know if

385
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,879
Speaker 1: this guy's physical ability can overcome the inexperience. We might

386
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,040
Speaker 1: get some of those answers. So when he plays four o'clock,

387
00:18:01,880 --> 00:18:06,679
Speaker 1: it really is a really it's a great decision because

388
00:18:06,680 --> 00:18:08,920
Speaker 1: you've got guys that are You've got these two guys,

389
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: and you would think a number one pick of there,

390
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:13,800
Speaker 1: and and we've all seen it. Josh Allen can sling it, man,

391
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: you can. You can look and even the most novice

392
00:18:18,480 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: football fan sees his arm strength in comparison to the

393
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: other guys. I mean, you don't have to be a genius. Now,

394
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: we all know that. Football fans know there's more to

395
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 1: it than that, right Yeah, I mean you got to

396
00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: you gotta read defense, you gotta look at the safeties.

397
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:34,639
Speaker 1: You gotta call out the man, you gotta call it

398
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: the protection. You gotta make checks, you gotta you gotta

399
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:38,919
Speaker 1: spit the play out, and you gotta do it in

400
00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,520
Speaker 1: such a way that the guys in the huddle with

401
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:42,479
Speaker 1: you love you. You know they're gonna do it for you.

402
00:18:44,480 --> 00:18:47,880
Speaker 1: That's not easy, No, but there is. I think there's

403
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:51,680
Speaker 1: some evidence already two preseason appearances that Josh Allen can

404
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: handle that. And again, the touchdown passed the street or

405
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,760
Speaker 1: last week was great, a thing of beauty. What really

406
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,400
Speaker 1: impressed me was the two minute drill that fottled late

407
00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: first half, because those are moments when rookie quarterback sometimes

408
00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,120
Speaker 1: gonna be like, what are we doing? No, Josh Allen

409
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 1: was right there, knew how to use the clock, knew

410
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: how to run plays, knew how to get him in

411
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 1: position for a field goal. That impressed me more than

412
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: the to this morning, Jack Carney tweets in Josh Allen

413
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:18,000
Speaker 1: won the starting job on the one yard TD pass

414
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: against Cleveland. Josh Allen will be the start in week one.

415
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: And as you are saying that he is not up

416
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: against a great veteran, so he's not. He's not up

417
00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: against a great veteran who was standing there like like

418
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 1: Joe Montana held the job in front of Steve Young,

419
00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: like Drew Brees held it in front of Tom Brady,

420
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: like Brett Farve held it in front of Aaron Rodgers.

421
00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,920
Speaker 1: There's none of those guys on this roster and that's

422
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: the reason why he's gonna be able to shine and

423
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: come through. Maybe maybe, but I want to see him play.

424
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:49,679
Speaker 1: I guess because we were watching since I was watching

425
00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:52,080
Speaker 1: kind of getting ready for the game this weekend, Cincinnati

426
00:19:52,080 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 1: and Dallas the preseason, and those teams were in atrocity

427
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: in that game. Oh my gosh, Cincinnati was horrible and

428
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: Dallas wasn't much worse. Zach Zach No, Dak Prescott made

429
00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: a couple of plays, he was good, but man, everybody

430
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:11,359
Speaker 1: who came in the game after their number ones. It

431
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:14,560
Speaker 1: was an awful preseas. It was everything that the preseason

432
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 1: has been. Everything we love, everything you stereotypically think about

433
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 1: the NFL preseason penalties, fumbles, bad routes, pre snap penalties,

434
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:33,280
Speaker 1: just bad tackling, drop passes, huge wild overthrows. I was like,

435
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: I was calling you, I like, have you seen that?

436
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:39,359
Speaker 1: It was horrible? The Dallas Cincinnati preseason game was awful.

437
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 1: So I'm like, listen, let's see what Josh Allen can

438
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 1: do against that. Jump from the tweet cheet Darryl f

439
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:46,159
Speaker 1: twenty nine. When we put up the question who do

440
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:49,240
Speaker 1: you predict will be the bill starting quarterback on Sunday,

441
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: September nine, Darryl F twenty nine says, I'm going to Allen.

442
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:55,200
Speaker 1: Even though Nate has played well, verified by statue or

443
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,399
Speaker 1: I still tell you that Josh is better. I know

444
00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:00,879
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned yesterday about Nate being able to make reads,

445
00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 1: but his arm still concerns me. Honestly, not much zip

446
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: at all. Quite Frankly, um can't argue with any It's

447
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 1: a different I mean you can see it. I mean

448
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: it's like like like he says. Darryl says, you're right,

449
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:15,719
Speaker 1: you can see it, man. And that's even And everybody

450
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 1: knew it, now everybody. Here's the thing leading up to

451
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,159
Speaker 1: the draft. I mean, you heard it coming from experts

452
00:21:21,200 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 1: like well, Josh Allen's most physically gifted, and they kind

453
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,720
Speaker 1: of all consent. It was a consensus. And that with

454
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:29,879
Speaker 1: all the draft pre draft stuff. All the scouts said it,

455
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,080
Speaker 1: and they all tried to you know, they we were

456
00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,119
Speaker 1: picking their strengths and weaknesses. They all said it for

457
00:21:35,119 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: a reason. He just man, O, Man, it's a big arm. Yeah,

458
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,199
Speaker 1: it's a big arm. And listen, and I've talked to

459
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: this dude. The Wonderlick scores where they test intelligence m

460
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 1: Josh Allen was significantly higher, had significantly higher test scores

461
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,120
Speaker 1: than any of those other quarterbacks. And he's an intelligent kid.

462
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,080
Speaker 1: To that point, I think of what you know. We

463
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 1: had Greg Cosella on the show yesterday from NFL Matchup,

464
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:05,640
Speaker 1: long time producer NFL Films, who breaks some video when

465
00:22:05,680 --> 00:22:07,680
Speaker 1: he got talking about Josh Allen yesterday and he talked

466
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,639
Speaker 1: about how the things that you wondered about Josh Allen,

467
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:14,679
Speaker 1: you know, foot placement, right, his footwork, his platform, some

468
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,240
Speaker 1: of those appear to be fixed or in the process

469
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: of being fixed. And Greg O Sell said he's either

470
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,919
Speaker 1: he's coach, been coached well and clearly is responding to coaching.

471
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 1: That's what a smart guy does. It's harbor we to

472
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: say that, listen, smart guys will change. Smart guys get better. Yeah,

473
00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 1: dumb guys are the same guy that the last day

474
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: in the careers they were the first day and they

475
00:22:33,080 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 1: never changed. Because you can coach smart, coach smart guys,

476
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:38,399
Speaker 1: they get better. Yeah, and we might be witnessing that

477
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:40,919
Speaker 1: with Josh from Wandering Jack this tweet. Would love to

478
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 1: say Allen would be the starter on September ninth, and

479
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,840
Speaker 1: hope he does. But this staff has maintained all along

480
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,880
Speaker 1: they won't rush, and I bet time against the Ones

481
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: this week will show here is a ways to go.

482
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: Peterman has played well and he could take a beating

483
00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: early in the year. All considerations, You're right, wandering Jack,

484
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean. We need a list of

485
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: what considerations are going into the decision. The opponents for

486
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: the first several weeks of the year, the road games,

487
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: you know, hostile environments. What five at the first seven games?

488
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: Do you want to start a rookie there. That's a consideration.

489
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:11,720
Speaker 1: I get that. I get that, that's a consideration. It's

490
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,440
Speaker 1: a gauntlet. Yeah, if Josh Allen starts a Week one

491
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,479
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills and hangs in there and plays,

492
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: he's in for it because because then Baltimore Ravens can

493
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: play some defense, and so can the LA Chargers, and

494
00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: so you know, the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bank Boom

495
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: boom boom. I mean that is that's a gauntlet. And

496
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: three of them are on the road. It's rough. They're

497
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 1: they're gonna turn him over to you know, a dent

498
00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: of lions. I mean, that's tough. That is a tough

499
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,959
Speaker 1: road in that first month of the seedlings of the season,

500
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:47,360
Speaker 1: who can predict will be the bill starting quarterback when

501
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,520
Speaker 1: the season opens? Rich in Buffalo on the line with

502
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: his answer, Rich, go ahead, you're on the air with us, gentlemen.

503
00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: Good after new him right, Let me first say back

504
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: in April, Josh Allen was the one quarterback I did

505
00:23:59,160 --> 00:24:03,360
Speaker 1: not want for various reasons. But now I have done

506
00:24:03,400 --> 00:24:09,360
Speaker 1: a three to sixty after the Cleveland game and I'm sorry.

507
00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 1: Right after after the Rod Street or play when he

508
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:15,640
Speaker 1: shifted left and right and avoided three guy or three

509
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: for the defenders. That's a Brady type shift where you

510
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: avoid the rush and then you throw a beautiful strike. Steve,

511
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,160
Speaker 1: you made a great point on the two minute drive

512
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 1: before halftime when he just gets the ball down a

513
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 1: field goal. Yes it was only a field goal, but

514
00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: most rookies would have probably went the bed and panic.

515
00:24:35,080 --> 00:24:38,919
Speaker 1: I do too much. The thing I'd like is he

516
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 1: deserves the right to start this week against since he

517
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: and he's gonna go against a number one pretty good,

518
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 1: since he defense. I want to see what this kid

519
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: can do against the number one and unless he lays

520
00:24:51,640 --> 00:24:55,000
Speaker 1: an egg on his face, rows two picks gets sacked, bumbles,

521
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Then if he has an adequate or

522
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:00,440
Speaker 1: the same kind of route he's had the first two

523
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,200
Speaker 1: preseason games, if he just shows that he can play

524
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,240
Speaker 1: in the NFL, then I believe he earns and deserves

525
00:25:06,280 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: the right to start against Baltimore just because of his

526
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: overall talent is escapability and the Rod Streeter play and

527
00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: his arms straight, and I believe the future is now.

528
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:20,400
Speaker 1: Don't keep this kid on the bench if he can

529
00:25:20,400 --> 00:25:22,439
Speaker 1: show that he can handle himself as a man and

530
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: as an athlete. All right, all right, most would agree

531
00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: with by the way, that was Murph's point on the

532
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:30,600
Speaker 1: two minute drill about Josh Allen, although I agreed with it,

533
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,560
Speaker 1: and all that stuff is true, and you got to

534
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:38,119
Speaker 1: agree with Rich it's it's very thoughtful and logical approach

535
00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,960
Speaker 1: he's got. I don't know how good. You know, there's

536
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 1: a lot of gray area. How good is good? How

537
00:25:41,880 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 1: adequate is adequate? When he looks at plays against the

538
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati defense. I think one thing that you just spoke about,

539
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: when Greg cos We spoke to him yesterday, he said,

540
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 1: he looks like he's Josh Allen's getting coached. And it's

541
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: the coaching is taking and responding to the coach. He's

542
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:58,480
Speaker 1: responding to the coaching and I and I think it's

543
00:25:58,520 --> 00:26:01,359
Speaker 1: easy to see and I've seen it at levels where

544
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: a guy comes from a well, he came from Wyoming,

545
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 1: and I know there's a lot of great people out

546
00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: in Wyoming. It's a great prince, a nice program. He

547
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 1: went there and he had a lot of success there.

548
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,679
Speaker 1: And those coaches are probably great guys and good coaches

549
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,920
Speaker 1: and career guys doing it. But I'll tell you what,

550
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:21,400
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott, Brian day Ball and Cully and the rest

551
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,199
Speaker 1: of those guys, they're really good coaches. And when you

552
00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:26,560
Speaker 1: step up a level, you start getting coached in a

553
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,080
Speaker 1: way that is like you've never experienced before. You're gonna

554
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 1: get some improvement. And I think that's you got to

555
00:26:32,359 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: tip your hat to the job day Ball and to

556
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:39,000
Speaker 1: the opportunity they have with a young kid, a smart,

557
00:26:39,520 --> 00:26:42,000
Speaker 1: gifted young guy like Josh Allen. They're gonna make the

558
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:45,159
Speaker 1: most of it. I think day Ball and Sean McDermott

559
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: are gonna get the most out of this guy. And

560
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:49,640
Speaker 1: you can see and you would expect that a guy

561
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:54,119
Speaker 1: coming from a program like Wyoming into the NFL. That

562
00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:56,800
Speaker 1: he's going to improve pretty quickly with guys like that

563
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,399
Speaker 1: in his corner helping him. Steven Bill's non quarterback news

564
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,159
Speaker 1: uh NFL Network reporting that the Bills are expected to

565
00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 1: sign former Seahawks punner John Ryan. Later today, they reported

566
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: that Ryan was on his way here. Um, he would compete,

567
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:14,119
Speaker 1: you would think, with Colton Schmidt once he has signed

568
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 1: Colt Spence went around here since twenty fourteen. Any thoughts

569
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 1: on that, just competition, trying to get better at every position, Well,

570
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:23,280
Speaker 1: he ain't gotta get better. And Ryan was a guy

571
00:27:23,359 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 1: who was the holder for Houshka when he was in Seattle. Um,

572
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:29,679
Speaker 1: if you'd follow him a little bit on Twitter and

573
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: hear about what stuff coming out of he's pretty got

574
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 1: a great sense of humor. But let's face it, he's

575
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:36,719
Speaker 1: a guy who's kicked in some big nit games for

576
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: the for the Seahawks, kicked in weather up there in Seattle. Yeah,

577
00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:44,760
Speaker 1: whether in an outdoor stadium in Seattle, just like Houshke's

578
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,200
Speaker 1: had some experience in that kind of stuff. So that's yeah,

579
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:49,000
Speaker 1: I don't think there's anything wrong. That's a it's a

580
00:27:49,040 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: good signing. It's a smart signing. Um, I'm sure they're

581
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: not giving up draft picks and a bunch of money

582
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 1: and a lot of assets. I mean the guy was cut. Yeah,

583
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:02,400
Speaker 1: so I think great. You gotta see you're gonna compete everywhere.

584
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: Plus the Bills got a guy hurt. Carter got hurt,

585
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,360
Speaker 1: the punter, so they if they need a boy, even

586
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: if they need a body, that's the guy you want.

587
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: We're still September first is the cutdown dates. So what

588
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,960
Speaker 1: have we got here about? Today's the twenty first. We

589
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:17,879
Speaker 1: got about ten days until cutdown, so a chance a

590
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:19,440
Speaker 1: couple of games for the Bills to get a look

591
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 1: at possibly another punter. All right, we're gonna talk more

592
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: about quarterbacks and we return. We're gonna talk to our

593
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,520

Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks currently trying to win jobs in the NFL.

Speaker 1: Brady Quinn, no dere damer, is going to join us

00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 1: see two Like I'm really getting over too, because they

610
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: got it all fenced off. So they got this aisle

611
00:29:23,560 --> 00:29:25,560
Speaker 1: and they said, are you supposed to parking a lot too?

612
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:27,000
Speaker 1: And I look over and there's all these car farm

613
00:29:27,440 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: that are way closer to the front door. So I'm

614
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:34,080
Speaker 1: parking over there with those guys. I know donebody John

615
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: told me told me I could park here. I mean

616
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: it's right by our front door. If I get in

617
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,560
Speaker 1: trouble on that point, I am throwing you under the bus.

618
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,160
Speaker 1: Join in the conversation. What do you think Bill's quarterback?

619
00:29:44,200 --> 00:29:46,680
Speaker 1: There's an awful lot to talk about. A J. McCarron

620
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: does not have a fracture of the collar bone and

621
00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:52,640
Speaker 1: may even return to practice this week. That was the report.

622
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: Nothing confirmed yet from the Bills um and of course,

623
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,160
Speaker 1: the big news was Josh Allen starts on Sunday, the

624
00:29:58,280 --> 00:30:01,480
Speaker 1: third different quarterback to start preseason game for the Bills

625
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: this year. Peterman started the first game. A Karen started

626
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 1: last Friday night. Now, Josh Allen starts against the Bengals.

627
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on what that means for the opener September ninth.

628
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 1: Give us a call. The lines open eight oh three

629
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 1: five fifty two three one eight eight eight five fifty

630
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:18,959
Speaker 1: two five fifty. We are particularly interested in your thoughts

631
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:22,840
Speaker 1: on not who you want to start against the Ravens,

632
00:30:22,880 --> 00:30:25,920
Speaker 1: but who you predict we'll start against the Ravens. Give

633
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 1: us a call and we'll discuss them. We'll get more

634
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 1: some tweets as well. On this tom calling from Leakview.

635
00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: High time. Go ahead, you're on the air. Yeah, how

636
00:30:34,280 --> 00:30:38,720
Speaker 1: you guys doing good, very good. So I think Josh

637
00:30:38,760 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 1: Allen is the guy that should be starting there. You know,

638
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,520
Speaker 1: if you have do you have ten kids, and you

639
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: know you're raising these kids the same way, giving them

640
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 1: the same elove, giving them the same information. And the

641
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:53,160
Speaker 1: first four of them can't ride a bike till they're five. Well,

642
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 1: the fifth one can ride a bike at three. Do

643
00:30:54,880 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 1: you wait till he's five to let him ride the bike?

644
00:30:57,160 --> 00:30:59,000
Speaker 1: Or do you let him ride the bike? So I

645
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 1: think Josh Allen is pretty much ready to go. I mean,

646
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 1: he showed me a couple of different things. We'll see

647
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: what the ones when he plays, you know, this weekend.

648
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: But you know, I predict he should be and I

649
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 1: believe he's ready to Tom what about the other five kids?

650
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:15,720
Speaker 1: You went, you had ten kids, you only talked about

651
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: the first five. Well, you know everyone well, Aaron Rodgers

652
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: and the tom Brady's and the guys who sat and

653
00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 1: stuff like that. You know, that's all well and good.

654
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,560
Speaker 1: Some kids they need to take time, you know, you

655
00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: need to take time with them. Other kids are going

656
00:31:29,520 --> 00:31:31,400
Speaker 1: to be ahead of the curve. I just think Josh

657
00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: Hallen's ahead of the curve. Yeah, I think he could

658
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: be ahead of the curve. I really do he might be.

659
00:31:35,960 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 1: And listen, if you got a kid that ride your

660
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 1: bike right to ride his bike two years before everybody

661
00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 1: else rides there, and your family's worth one point four billion,

662
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 1: you buying the bike and you let him ride it.

663
00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: There you go. Thanks very much for your goal. That's

664
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: an interesting take though. Ten kids he got to this family.

665
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:54,360
Speaker 1: This family's got fifty, got ninety kids right now. If

666
00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: you got one that can ride his bike before the

667
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,320
Speaker 1: others give him the bike, let him go right Hey,

668
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,480
Speaker 1: I'm the line with us right now. Former first round

669
00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,479
Speaker 1: draft pick of the Cleveland Browns, Brady Quinn as in

670
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,959
Speaker 1: his new career now as a Fox Sports analyst and

671
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: he's also on series Sex m NFL Radio. Brady Quinn

672
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 1: joins us on the Subway Fresh Take Hindline. Hi, Brady,

673
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker here in Buffalo. Thanks very

674
00:32:15,440 --> 00:32:18,760
Speaker 1: much for joining us, John, Steve, thanks for having me today.

675
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,320
Speaker 1: We're doing okay. We're caught up in quarterbacks as we

676
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,520
Speaker 1: have been for months actually, and thinking about what this means.

677
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: What do you think it means for Brady Quinn or

678
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 1: first for Josh Ellen to get to start on Sunday

679
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,800
Speaker 1: against the Cincinnati Bengals. What do you think the Bills

680
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:36,240
Speaker 1: are signaling to us? It's big, look, I think if

681
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:38,920
Speaker 1: you're looking at the preseason and Steve, Joe kind of

682
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: know this. This is the week that teams take more

683
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: seriously than others. It's because most teams actually have a

684
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:49,360
Speaker 1: normal week schedule. They go through you know what that

685
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 1: week's gonna be like once they get to the regular season,

686
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:54,719
Speaker 1: and their preparation as far as their game planning, how

687
00:32:54,720 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: they're going to break things down. So this is that

688
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,440
Speaker 1: week that I think if you're going to circle in

689
00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,600
Speaker 1: the preseas where you'd like to get a win, it's

690
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: probably this one because your starter is going to play

691
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 1: the order of the game, or at least you're projected starters,

692
00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: and because of that preparation going into it, So this

693
00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,000
Speaker 1: is the one that's always most fun to watch for me,

694
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,440
Speaker 1: at least I think it and really to play it

695
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: if you were that started, because you've got a better

696
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 1: sense of where the team was at, more so than

697
00:33:18,800 --> 00:33:20,720
Speaker 1: some of the other preseason games that you had. Brady

698
00:33:20,720 --> 00:33:22,400
Speaker 1: talked a little bit of you. Have you seen Josh

699
00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 1: Allen playing some of the in the Carolina game, in

700
00:33:24,960 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: the Cleveland preseason game, also with Nathan Peterman and AJ

701
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 1: up until since the Cleveland game, Nathan Peterman's played extremely

702
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 1: well too. What are your thoughts on Josh Allen His progression,

703
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,800
Speaker 1: what you saw coming from him coming out of the draft,

704
00:33:39,800 --> 00:33:42,480
Speaker 1: and how he's played so far in the preseason. I'll

705
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,680
Speaker 1: put it this way. I was breaking down some Iowa film.

706
00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 1: He had played against Iola last year, and I was

707
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: breaking down some film watching that game, and I turned

708
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: it on, probably watched the first half, and I just said,

709
00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:57,320
Speaker 1: I get it. I understand why everyone's so excited about

710
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,320
Speaker 1: this young man because he whoses with talent. The arm

711
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 1: strength is there. It's probably the strongest that Salce drafted

712
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,360
Speaker 1: with JaMarcus Russell. JaMarcus had one of the strongest songs

713
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: I've ever seen. So he's got that. He's got the

714
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,920
Speaker 1: athletic ability, which combined with his size, is so rare. Now,

715
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: the issue was you're trying to discern, wasn't the talent

716
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: out around him? Was it some fundamental things? What was

717
00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: it that he dealt with? Why he was as accurate

718
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: or wasn't as successful? You know, none of that necessarily matters.

719
00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,759
Speaker 1: You're really just trying to get it, you know, some

720
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:28,360
Speaker 1: sort of gauge on where he's going to be at

721
00:34:28,400 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: when he gets to the NFL. You know, I think

722
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,600
Speaker 1: with this preparation to get from what he looked like

723
00:34:32,640 --> 00:34:34,239
Speaker 1: on the film at Wyoming to what he looks like

724
00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:38,000
Speaker 1: like looks like now. He's made tremendous strides and his

725
00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:40,759
Speaker 1: for work and being more consistent with his base, not

726
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 1: overstriding on throws, and that's why you see more accurate

727
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,879
Speaker 1: footballs and a better completion percentage. So you know, going

728
00:34:46,880 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 1: for the first game to the second game, I think

729
00:34:48,760 --> 00:34:50,880
Speaker 1: you continue to watch him make strides. I think that

730
00:34:51,160 --> 00:34:52,880
Speaker 1: you know, the nine for nineteen numbers a little bit

731
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:55,399
Speaker 1: misleading because you know, a couple of players he threw

732
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: away some football as a couple of players, I thought,

733
00:34:57,400 --> 00:35:01,320
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna be competitive receptions in the first place.

734
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: But the thing that always stands out to me is

735
00:35:04,040 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 1: each game he's run to pick up some first downs,

736
00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 1: which is gonna have to do and you have to

737
00:35:07,920 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 1: do nowadays a quarterback in the NFL. And then he's

738
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,640
Speaker 1: got to house their firnt arm. I mean, it's everyone's

739
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: making a big deal about Patrick Mahollans throwing the sixth

740
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 1: knock yard, you know, ball in the air to Tyree

741
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:19,759
Speaker 1: Hill for the touchdown. Josh Allcon will do the same thing.

742
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:21,759
Speaker 1: They just need to find someone who's as fast as

743
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,920
Speaker 1: Tyree Hill, and I don't know if they have that.

744
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,160
Speaker 1: Maybe it's Corey Coleman or maybe someone else, but it's

745
00:35:27,200 --> 00:35:29,799
Speaker 1: gonna be fun to watch this year. So to me,

746
00:35:29,960 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 1: I think he's he's right where you wanted to be,

747
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,080
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit ahead of the curve. The other

748
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:35,719
Speaker 1: guys have played well, too, I just I think the

749
00:35:35,760 --> 00:35:38,239
Speaker 1: difference is this guy's stealing is so much higher than

750
00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,000
Speaker 1: everyone else. Brady, did I read where you believe that

751
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,560
Speaker 1: Josh Ellen and it's only two preseason games, but you

752
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:46,200
Speaker 1: believe he's outperformed the other rookie quarterbacks coming out in

753
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:49,600
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. Yeah, I six Son, And it's because you know,

754
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:52,120
Speaker 1: if he hones in the traits that he has with

755
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 1: that arm strength and again with his athleticism, you know

756
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna be able to have a chance to be

757
00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:00,399
Speaker 1: maybe the best of all of them. Now, a lot

758
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:03,600
Speaker 1: of that's more contingent upon, you know, the coaching staff,

759
00:36:03,640 --> 00:36:06,200
Speaker 1: the system they put him in, how willing is Brian

760
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:08,759
Speaker 1: dable to let him when he's ready, And this is

761
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 1: obviously a year or two down the road. You know,

762
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 1: have full control over what they're doing and how they're

763
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,200
Speaker 1: running things, and the talent they put out around them.

764
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 1: You know. I mean, you could have a great quarterback

765
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: like Dan Marino, but the guy might not win a

766
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,439
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. So, you know, I think he's got all

767
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 1: the tools the ability to be one of the best

768
00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:28,800
Speaker 1: in the league, maybe ever, but he's got to continually

769
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:30,200
Speaker 1: hone in on the skills. I think the other thing

770
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:32,960
Speaker 1: you're looking for is a great or sample size. You know,

771
00:36:33,080 --> 00:36:35,400
Speaker 1: right now, he can look great in a vacuum, but

772
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,399
Speaker 1: we need to see bull reps. We need to see

773
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 1: him when defenses are actually preparing for him and not

774
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 1: just worried about the guys on there side of the football,

775
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:44,479
Speaker 1: because that's what the preseason is. No one's game planning

776
00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:46,600
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Yet they will be at He's the

777
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 1: start of Week one. Brady, you did? You am I

778
00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:50,880
Speaker 1: reading this right? You spent one year at least with

779
00:36:50,920 --> 00:36:54,960
Speaker 1: Brian Dabole. Is is your coordinator in Cleveland? Is that right? Yeah?

780
00:36:54,960 --> 00:36:58,600
Speaker 1: One year in Cleveland for a full season, and obviously

781
00:36:58,719 --> 00:37:02,120
Speaker 1: Kansas City as well. He had Actually we've actually kind

782
00:37:02,120 --> 00:37:04,360
Speaker 1: of made the full circle there. He went from Cleveland,

783
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:06,600
Speaker 1: he was there for a couple of years, went to

784
00:37:06,760 --> 00:37:09,439
Speaker 1: Miami after that, and then went to out to Kansas City,

785
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: so I got to be with them and played about

786
00:37:11,360 --> 00:37:13,480
Speaker 1: half a season from in Kansas City as well. Now,

787
00:37:13,480 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 1: how is he with quarterbacks? How was he with you

788
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:19,480
Speaker 1: in the other quarterbacks? He's extremely detailed. Those guys are

789
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:21,120
Speaker 1: gonna be prepared a week in, a week out. But

790
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,640
Speaker 1: what the defense is going to face them? You know,

791
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: he's gonna put together a bunch of different cups and things,

792
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 1: so you're never gonna be surprised and you're always gonna

793
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: have answers. You know. He talks about your toolbox that

794
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:33,240
Speaker 1: every quarterback has, and he provides that within his system,

795
00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:36,080
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks to be able to have at their disposal

796
00:37:36,160 --> 00:37:38,359
Speaker 1: different things they could get to, whether it's plays, whether

797
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,160
Speaker 1: it's you know, route adjustments or changing protection to think

798
00:37:41,239 --> 00:37:43,439
Speaker 1: of that nature. He's going to provide you with those.

799
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 1: So you know, whether it's you know, Josh Allen or

800
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: a Peterman or Ajie McCarron, you know, sounding like you

801
00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 1: know he's maybe still gonna have a chance to play

802
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,280
Speaker 1: Week one, whoever ends up being, they're gonna be prepared

803
00:37:53,320 --> 00:37:56,640
Speaker 1: for that game. Brady. One of the things is stories

804
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:59,160
Speaker 1: has been bounced around now for over a year is

805
00:37:59,360 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 1: Andrew Luck and his injury in Indianapolis. Now he's been rehabbing,

806
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:06,359
Speaker 1: he's coming back, played in a game the other night

807
00:38:06,400 --> 00:38:09,319
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Talk a little bit about what you see

808
00:38:09,320 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: with his rehab. What do you look for. I mean,

809
00:38:11,560 --> 00:38:14,319
Speaker 1: you've seen these quarterbacks come back from arm injuries. What

810
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 1: do you think about Andrew Luck and his rehab and

811
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:18,920
Speaker 1: how that's progressing. Well, I think the biggest thing you

812
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 1: look for is is, you know, confidence, is his confidence

813
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: back in his arm and his ability to make the

814
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:27,480
Speaker 1: throws that he was making before the surgery. And you know,

815
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,360
Speaker 1: watching him versus Seattle, I was a little bit concerned.

816
00:38:30,440 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: I think, you know, they I don't want to say

817
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 1: they used to be into it, but there's a lot

818
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,120
Speaker 1: of short passes early. There's only a couple where they

819
00:38:37,120 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 1: really tried to press the football down the field. And

820
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: I didn't seem like he's bought a lot of sip

821
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:46,240
Speaker 1: on it, you know, last night versus the Baltimore Ravens.

822
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 1: You know, there's times where I thought it can I

823
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 1: don't know if the arm is quite packed maybe where

824
00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 1: he wanted to be, and I don't know if that's

825
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:54,880
Speaker 1: the product of just where he's at in his rehab

826
00:38:55,000 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: as he's still building right now. That could be the case.

827
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 1: I remember talking to a story but Danny Cannell, because

828
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:04,400
Speaker 1: his father was the orthopedic for the Biabie dolphin that

829
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, didn't necessarily have a bad grade of Drew

830
00:39:07,520 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 1: Brees coming off his sholder surgery, but said it may

831
00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,399
Speaker 1: be a year before you're you're gonna get the Drew

832
00:39:12,440 --> 00:39:15,480
Speaker 1: Breese that we remember from from the then San Diego Chargers,

833
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: And obviously he ended up in New Orleans and the

834
00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 1: rest is kind of history. But that could be the

835
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,399
Speaker 1: case of Andrew Luck. This could be a scenario where

836
00:39:22,400 --> 00:39:24,960
Speaker 1: we see him not look like Andrew Luck we recall

837
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:27,200
Speaker 1: seeing in the first three years, but a year down

838
00:39:27,239 --> 00:39:29,200
Speaker 1: the road then he looks more back to normal around

839
00:39:29,239 --> 00:39:32,120
Speaker 1: the line with Brady Quinn, former NFL quarterback, now he

840
00:39:32,280 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 1: is a NFL on Fox analyst and on Serious Sex

841
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:38,239
Speaker 1: NFL Radio with opinion his opinions about quarterbacks. Brady, you

842
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:42,360
Speaker 1: know who else has opinions on quarterbacks Jaguars quarterback Jalen Ramsey,

843
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: and he won public last week with his including referring

844
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,000
Speaker 1: to Josh Allen as trash. What did you think of

845
00:39:48,040 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: his list of critiques of NFL QUARTERBACKSOK, I personally love it.

846
00:39:53,120 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 1: You know, the NFL needs these types of characters and

847
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 1: brands of people who understand that when you're in a

848
00:39:58,120 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: small market like Jacksonville, you've got how to find a

849
00:40:00,600 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: way of grabbing everyone's attention. And he's he's found a

850
00:40:03,120 --> 00:40:05,640
Speaker 1: way of doing it. So regardless of his opinion, I

851
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: think the biggest thing is he put his name on it,

852
00:40:07,400 --> 00:40:08,920
Speaker 1: he owned up to it, and they're gonna have a

853
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,200
Speaker 1: chance to square off. So I never have a problem

854
00:40:11,239 --> 00:40:13,239
Speaker 1: with people saying this sort of thing. I'm not going

855
00:40:13,280 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 1: to go into, you know, as far as his opinion

856
00:40:16,480 --> 00:40:18,440
Speaker 1: or his view of quarterbacks with what he thinks, that's

857
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 1: his own opinion. I don't have to speak on that.

858
00:40:20,239 --> 00:40:23,600
Speaker 1: I just it's refreshing to see players who are able

859
00:40:23,640 --> 00:40:26,000
Speaker 1: to want to say things like that but also put

860
00:40:26,080 --> 00:40:27,600
Speaker 1: their name on and them back it up with the play.

861
00:40:27,719 --> 00:40:31,319
Speaker 1: So look, maybe maybe now too. It's some of those

862
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,680
Speaker 1: guys mind, especially some of the older guys who played

863
00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: more in the NFL, they're more apt to throw his

864
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: way with before they might just sleep alone. They might

865
00:40:38,600 --> 00:40:40,200
Speaker 1: just you know, let him kind of be over there

866
00:40:40,320 --> 00:40:42,600
Speaker 1: on an island covering a guy and never throw his

867
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,799
Speaker 1: way once. Now, maybe they'll test them, maybe they'll try

868
00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,000
Speaker 1: to actually, you know, throw some balls his way. So

869
00:40:47,040 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: maybe he's trying to entype some guys. Give it a

870
00:40:49,040 --> 00:40:50,920
Speaker 1: little more action. There you go. Yeah, Brady, I know

871
00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,400
Speaker 1: you're you're with the Fox, You're a Fox analyst on

872
00:40:53,400 --> 00:40:55,320
Speaker 1: the NFL. You're also with serious sex him. One of

873
00:40:55,360 --> 00:40:57,960
Speaker 1: the other things you're doing is a Third and Goal foundation.

874
00:40:58,040 --> 00:40:59,360
Speaker 1: Talk to us a little bit about what that is

875
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: and what it's all about. Yeah, So my dad and

876
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:03,719
Speaker 1: I started this back in two thousand and ten, and

877
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:05,719
Speaker 1: what we do is make home tan to Ga accessible

878
00:41:05,719 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 1: for winded veterans. My dad was a marine in Vietnam,

879
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: so it's something that is near to his heart mine

880
00:41:11,160 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 1: as well. So we teamed up together and just started

881
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,920
Speaker 1: with one project in two thousand and ten and kind

882
00:41:16,920 --> 00:41:18,520
Speaker 1: of self funded it for a while and then started

883
00:41:18,560 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: to put together an annual golf event that's grown. We

884
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,359
Speaker 1: just had our eighth one this past year and now

885
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 1: we're doing multiple projects a year, and we've added an

886
00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:29,080
Speaker 1: educational component where we're helping veterans who are transitioning out

887
00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: of their active duty back to continger that continue their

888
00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,080
Speaker 1: education or start their education with a program called the

889
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,640
Speaker 1: Warrior Scholar Project at University of Notre Dame. We've also

890
00:41:37,640 --> 00:41:41,080
Speaker 1: provided a scholarship for one of those veterans to attend

891
00:41:41,120 --> 00:41:43,760
Speaker 1: the University of Notre Dame. So we're really excited about

892
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: the different ways we're trying to help veterans. At this point,

893
00:41:46,160 --> 00:41:49,440
Speaker 1: we can't think of a more just cause that's great work. Hey, Brady,

894

898
00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,720
Speaker 1: Thank Hi, Brady, Brady Quinn, former NFL QUARTERMA eight seasons

899
00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:02,959
Speaker 1: in the league, former first round pack of the Brown

900
00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,279
Speaker 1: Pick of the Browns, working on Fox and Serious and

901
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,080
Speaker 1: he joined us on the Subway Fresh Tank Comeline, Subway

902
00:42:08,080 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: Eat Fresh, Steve and I back with more in a

903
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,680
Speaker 1: moment One Bills Live from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo

904
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:28,399
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. Welcome back, One Bill's Live, John Murphy, Steve

905
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:31,520
Speaker 1: Chasker here until three talking quarterbacks. That's what we do

906
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,719
Speaker 1: here at One Bill's Driving. Not just us They talk

907
00:42:34,760 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: about it in the coaching suits as well. Brady Quinn

908
00:42:37,280 --> 00:42:40,920
Speaker 1: was interesting, likes what he sees from Josh Allen. I

909
00:42:41,000 --> 00:42:43,480
Speaker 1: think I thought that was a ringing endorsement from Brady Quinn,

910
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 1: who I consider a good observer of what's going on

911
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,439
Speaker 1: around the league. You do consider a good observer because

912
00:42:48,440 --> 00:42:51,880
Speaker 1: he agrees with everything you say. Well, you gotta stop that,

913
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 1: because I'm not look any newt observer would look at

914
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:57,920
Speaker 1: the way the preseason gone and say Josh Allen is

915
00:42:57,920 --> 00:43:00,200
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying. I'm

916
00:43:00,239 --> 00:43:02,319
Speaker 1: not I don't know how to vote for predicting the

917
00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 1: starter September ninth. I'm glad he's starting this week. I'm

918
00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:06,879
Speaker 1: really glad he's starting this week. Now he gets ones,

919
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:10,600
Speaker 1: plays with ones against ones, and gets an extended shot

920
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 1: at it. That's what I'm saying. I gotta say, I'm

921
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:15,400
Speaker 1: not like I am. I'm not the campaign manager for

922
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I told you yesterday. If they come out

923
00:43:18,200 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: and say Nathan Peterman starting in September nine, you know

924
00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: what I'm gonna be like, good, good for Nathan. I'm

925
00:43:22,160 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 1: happy from grime, but we want to see Josh play

926
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:25,960
Speaker 1: this week. I want to see him playing this week.

927
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:29,799
Speaker 1: I'm with you. I want to know what we will

928
00:43:29,840 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 1: never know. I want to know what the difference is

929
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 1: in these guys when they're sitting in the meeting rooms,

930
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: when they're when you, when the coaches know what they're

931
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,279
Speaker 1: supposed to be doing and how well they're doing it.

932
00:43:37,760 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 1: Why Nate Peterman has limitations that don't coincide with Josh

933
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 1: Allens in the meeting rooms. I know they are what

934
00:43:44,680 --> 00:43:48,080
Speaker 1: they are physically. I want to know what Nate Peterman

935
00:43:48,160 --> 00:43:50,680
Speaker 1: does better than AJ mccaren, What AJ mccaren does better

936
00:43:50,719 --> 00:43:52,600
Speaker 1: than Nate Peterman and Josh Allen. I want to know

937
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:55,719
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen has made great strides from the first

938
00:43:55,800 --> 00:43:58,319
Speaker 1: day of training camp until now. Why is he looking better?

939
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:01,480
Speaker 1: Why or is his foot work really that much better?

940
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:05,400
Speaker 1: You'll never know. All we can do is watch. I

941
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:06,680
Speaker 1: want to know what. I want to know what Brian

942
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,200
Speaker 1: day Bole and Sean McDermott think about That's what I

943
00:44:09,239 --> 00:44:12,920
Speaker 1: want to know. Well, the rest of just details what

944
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:14,799
Speaker 1: they think about it is going to be demonstrated about

945
00:44:14,800 --> 00:44:16,520
Speaker 1: who they play, you know what I mean. They don't

946
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,560
Speaker 1: have to say anything. Yeah, but I know but within

947
00:44:18,600 --> 00:44:22,400
Speaker 1: that there's Murph. Within that, there's like fifteen stories. They

948
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 1: may they may start Nathan Peterman a week one, but

949
00:44:25,920 --> 00:44:28,480
Speaker 1: I want to know how close the call was. Well,

950
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:31,440
Speaker 1: they'll never tell you that. I know. That's why I

951
00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,320
Speaker 1: want to know why, because that that helps me formulate

952
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:39,759
Speaker 1: my opinion about all the considerations that go into it.

953
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: You don't think that that's gonna be our We were

954
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:43,520
Speaker 1: talking about this for you listeners out there. Murph and

955
00:44:43,560 --> 00:44:45,920
Speaker 1: I are just sitting here talking and excluding you. But

956
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:48,480
Speaker 1: we want to we have we want to know, and

957
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,800
Speaker 1: not today, don't call today. We're gonna do this Twitter

958
00:44:51,800 --> 00:44:53,880
Speaker 1: poll and we're gonna find out what you consider the

959
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:56,920
Speaker 1: most important attributes for picking the guy. What's the criteria?

960
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 1: Is it gonna be experienced, physical ability, statistics, opponents, opponents? Right,

961
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:07,359
Speaker 1: I mean, what's gonna Yeah. And here's the thing too,

962
00:45:07,360 --> 00:45:08,920
Speaker 1: with the three headed it will be close with a

963
00:45:08,960 --> 00:45:12,880
Speaker 1: three headed horse race, like we've got. Peterman and mccaron

964
00:45:12,920 --> 00:45:15,319
Speaker 1: are very close in the style of quarterback they are,

965
00:45:15,600 --> 00:45:17,719
Speaker 1: and they were both drafted in the fifth round. The

966
00:45:17,760 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: Bills have about the same amount of whatever assets invested

967
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,600
Speaker 1: in both of these guys. Neither one of them is

968
00:45:25,640 --> 00:45:30,200
Speaker 1: breaking the bank. So they're pretty similar. Josh Allen is

969
00:45:30,200 --> 00:45:32,680
Speaker 1: the one who is the rookie draft pick, inexperience but

970
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: physically talented, kind of the future star this, you know,

971
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:40,880
Speaker 1: this shining bright light of hope for this franchise. I

972
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,200
Speaker 1: want to know how that, you know, how that's coming

973
00:45:43,239 --> 00:45:46,200
Speaker 1: together and all the stuff that I can't see. I mean,

974
00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:49,120
Speaker 1: I see Josh Allen's arm, I can see him run,

975
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:51,880
Speaker 1: and I see all these other two and what they

976
00:45:51,880 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 1: can do. Their statistics are you know, Nate Peterman's statistics

977
00:45:55,120 --> 00:45:57,160
Speaker 1: in the preseason are eye popping, but they were a

978
00:45:57,239 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: year ago. He stepped on the field and stunted that

979
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 1: first game. Now, what's gonna happen? I want to know

980
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: what the coaches seeing, what they think. That's what's driving

981
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,600
Speaker 1: me crazy. Don't get crazy about it. We're gonna have

982
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,839
Speaker 1: an answers. We're gonna have an answer by September nine.

983
00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:13,719
Speaker 1: I know, I cannot wait for this game. I mean this,

984
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 1: I said last week the Browns game was really an

985
00:46:16,760 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 1: interesting How interesting? How interesting is this one another one?

986
00:46:21,600 --> 00:46:23,600
Speaker 1: I know? Yeah, it's gonna be fun. It's like the

987
00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:26,319
Speaker 1: preseason of all preseasons that we're gonna break. We're coming back.

988
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,960
Speaker 1: We're gonna talk about Madden NFL nineteen with Clint Oldenberg,

989
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:32,719
Speaker 1: one of the game designers, former NFL lineman. He'll join

990
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:34,600
Speaker 1: us when we return. Steve and I here until three.

991
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 1: One Bill's Life presented by Kalid to Health, Where One

992
00:46:37,440 --> 00:46:52,520
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive and this is Buffalo Bills Radiofalo Bills Radio

993
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:56,839
Speaker 1: Network Stories date the update from One Bill's Drive where

994
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 1: the Bills keep it interesting. On the quarterback battle Lake,

995
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,839
Speaker 1: Yesterday the team announced at rookie Josh Allen, we'll start

996
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:05,479
Speaker 1: a quarterback this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals, the third

997
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:09,160
Speaker 1: preseason game, the one usually considered the dress rehearsal for

998
00:47:09,200 --> 00:47:11,680
Speaker 1: the regular season opener. Allan got reps were the first

999
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:14,239
Speaker 1: team yesterday in practice. Nathan Peterman took the first team

1000
00:47:14,239 --> 00:47:17,160
Speaker 1: snaps on Sunday. Now, with Allen starting Sunday, it means

1001
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 1: each of the three quarterback candidates get a chance to

1002
00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:22,400
Speaker 1: start a preseason game. Peterman started the first one against

1003
00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:25,280
Speaker 1: the Panthers. McCarron got to start last Friday in Cleveland.

1004
00:47:25,320 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 1: AJ McCarron not finished in the quarterback derby. By the

1005
00:47:27,880 --> 00:47:30,719
Speaker 1: way it appears, the ESPN reports that McCarron did not

1006
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,320
Speaker 1: suffer a fracture of his collarbone against the Browns. That

1007
00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,080
Speaker 1: finding came from additional testing. McCarron may return to practice soon,

1008
00:47:37,120 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: according to the report. Head coach Sean McDermott expected to

1009
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: update the McCarron status and talk about the decision to

1010
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,840
Speaker 1: start Josh Allen this week when he meets with the

1011
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:49,600
Speaker 1: media tomorrow morning. The Bills expected to sign former Seattle

1012
00:47:49,600 --> 00:47:52,759
Speaker 1: punder John Ryan later today. According to NFL Network, the

1013
00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:56,480
Speaker 1: move would create a late preseason battle between John Ryan

1014
00:47:56,520 --> 00:48:00,239
Speaker 1: and Colton Schmidt for the Bills hunting duties. Ryan was

1015
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,040
Speaker 1: just released by the Seattle Seahawks, they traded up in

1016
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,560
Speaker 1: the fifth round in April Draft. Seattle did the select

1017
00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 1: upunter Ryan, thirty six years old, holds the Seahawks franchise

1018
00:48:08,680 --> 00:48:12,240
Speaker 1: record for most punts, most punting yardage, most punts inside

1019
00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:15,800
Speaker 1: the twenty, and longest punts. John Ryan expected to sound

1020
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 1: signed with the Bills. Baltimore Ravens spoiled Andrew lux Indianapolis

1021
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:22,840
Speaker 1: homecoming last night, picked him off before he allowed a completion.

1022
00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,000
Speaker 1: Ravens beat the Colts twenty to nineteen by stopping a

1023
00:48:26,080 --> 00:48:29,239
Speaker 1: late two point conversion attempt. Wide receiver Victor Cruz has

1024
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 1: officially announced his retirement from the NFL. He's joining ESPN

1025
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:36,000

1028
00:48:41,680 --> 00:48:44,480
Speaker 1: Matt Khalil, left tackle for the Carolina Panthers, had Arthur's

1029
00:48:44,480 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 1: copic surgery on his right knee yesterday, meaning the Panthers

1030
00:48:47,760 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: could be without three linemen who began training campus starters

1031
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:53,120
Speaker 1: when they opened the season September night. That is the

Speaker 1: to do this year is give our players more control.

1049
00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,480
Speaker 1: We want a player control across the field and across

1051
00:49:48,480 --> 00:49:51,640

1053

00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,560
Speaker 1: Is that correct? Am I reading that one? Yeah? So

1065
00:50:33,600 --> 00:50:35,200
Speaker 1: there's two ways to do that. The one that you're

1066
00:50:35,200 --> 00:50:37,480
Speaker 1: referring to is inside of our Franchise mode, and that's

1067
00:50:37,480 --> 00:50:41,439
Speaker 1: a new feature that we have called Archetypes. So rather

1068
00:50:41,480 --> 00:50:43,640
Speaker 1: than what we've had in the past, is you having

1069
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,279
Speaker 1: to go in and use your XP that you earn

1070
00:50:45,320 --> 00:50:48,359
Speaker 1: while you play to upgrade each player's individual rating, you're

1071
00:50:48,400 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 1: now choosing an overall archetype you want to upgrade him

1072
00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:55,160
Speaker 1: towards that will hopefully match the scheme that you're employing

1073
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,560
Speaker 1: as the coach of that team. And each player has

1074
00:50:57,560 --> 00:51:00,160
Speaker 1: four to five different archetypes that you can choose from

1075
00:51:00,200 --> 00:51:03,480
Speaker 1: that will increase his overall rating one full point to

1076
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: match that archetype. And then on the front end side

1077
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:09,239
Speaker 1: that you mentioned online head to head and play now,

1078
00:51:09,560 --> 00:51:11,839
Speaker 1: we still do our roster updates every week to keep

1079
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,680
Speaker 1: the ratings up to speed with what's going on in

1080
00:51:14,680 --> 00:51:17,640
Speaker 1: the NFL. On the line with Clinton Oldamer, game designer

1081
00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:22,560
Speaker 1: for NFL nineteen eight, Clint, I'm curious in your research

1082
00:51:22,600 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: of your customers, and you talked about the real player motion.

1083
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 1: You also talked about some of the draft. You know,

1084
00:51:28,480 --> 00:51:30,799
Speaker 1: the differences in the drafting you put in. What are

1085
00:51:30,840 --> 00:51:34,640
Speaker 1: most Maden nineteen players interested in? I mean, are the

1086
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,280
Speaker 1: percentages to most people want to see the real player

1087
00:51:37,320 --> 00:51:39,000
Speaker 1: motion and make it look like a football gamer or

1088
00:51:39,040 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: most people more kind of data, you know freaks, and

1089
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 1: they want to analyze what you got there and analyze

1090
00:51:45,320 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 1: other draft players. It's a little bit of everything. We

1091
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,439
Speaker 1: have a large cohort of our players love to play

1092
00:51:52,440 --> 00:51:55,680
Speaker 1: Franchise Mode and live their fantasy of building their favorite

1093
00:51:55,719 --> 00:51:57,480
Speaker 1: team the way that they want to, whether to see

1094
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 1: the draft or trades of free agency. There's also a

1095
00:52:00,480 --> 00:52:03,160
Speaker 1: number of people who like more of a fantasy football aspect,

1096
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:06,160
Speaker 1: and those those people play our Ultimate Team mode, which

1097
00:52:06,239 --> 00:52:10,840
Speaker 1: is basically collecting players from legendary players, current players all across,

1098
00:52:10,960 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 1: you know, the whole gamut and building whatever team they

1099
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,480
Speaker 1: want to go online and compete against others, as well

1100
00:52:15,520 --> 00:52:18,359
Speaker 1: as played through our Solo Battles mode. And then there

1101
00:52:18,360 --> 00:52:20,800
Speaker 1: are some people who are really interested in the player

1102
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: ratings and looking at that data. And NFL players are

1103
00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:25,799
Speaker 1: you know, definitely part of that group. They give us

1104
00:52:25,800 --> 00:52:28,280
Speaker 1: feedback all the time about wanting their speed rating higher,

1105
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,560
Speaker 1: you know whatnot one of the things I want to

1106
00:52:30,560 --> 00:52:32,719
Speaker 1: ask you about Clinton. You guys have got to hear

1107
00:52:32,800 --> 00:52:36,080
Speaker 1: from current players about their ratings, about what they look like,

1108
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,240
Speaker 1: about what they're and I know that one of the players,

1109
00:52:40,840 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: I think, Tyrone Crawford, he was really unhappy with the

1110
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:45,960
Speaker 1: way he looked on the game. And do you get

1111
00:52:45,960 --> 00:52:49,160
Speaker 1: a lot of that from players? Yes, yes, it's very common.

1112
00:52:49,200 --> 00:52:52,759
Speaker 1: They want to debate everything in Fortunately, in Tyrone's case,

1113
00:52:53,360 --> 00:52:55,799
Speaker 1: the image that he had saw of himself was of

1114
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,120
Speaker 1: a pre launch build, so it wasn't quite done yet.

1115
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:01,800
Speaker 1: And are marketing team has had a good time playing

1116
00:53:01,800 --> 00:53:06,040
Speaker 1: with these guys and having this Twitter approval process. They

1117
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 1: can submit a form of feedback that they want to

1118
00:53:09,280 --> 00:53:11,720
Speaker 1: get approved. And that one was really easy to approve

1119
00:53:12,320 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: because we already had him fixed up ready to go

1120
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:16,960
Speaker 1: for launch, So that one was easily approved and I

1121
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:18,799
Speaker 1: think everyone's having a good time with it. Yeah, he

1122
00:53:18,840 --> 00:53:21,640
Speaker 1: said he looked like Humpty dumpty on the first one. Hey,

1123
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:25,480
Speaker 1: what about you changed like the celebration mode like for touchdowns?

1124
00:53:25,480 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: Talk about that if you would. Yeah, So that's one

1125
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,560
Speaker 1: of the trends going on the NFL. Obviously, the NFL

1126
00:53:31,640 --> 00:53:35,960
Speaker 1: loosened up their restrictions on touchdown celebrations, and you know,

1127
00:53:36,040 --> 00:53:37,600
Speaker 1: that was something we were chomping at the bit to

1128
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:39,160
Speaker 1: do because people have a lot of fun with that.

1129
00:53:39,239 --> 00:53:41,479
Speaker 1: So in Madden nineteen, you can now choose the type

1130
00:53:41,480 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 1: of celebration you want to do after you score a

1131
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,239
Speaker 1: touchdown or get a sack, and there's a couple of

1132
00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:46,960
Speaker 1: different things you can do there. You can do the

1133
00:53:46,960 --> 00:53:49,520
Speaker 1: signature animation, so if you have a guy like Gronkowski,

1134
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:52,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna do his signature Gronk spike. You can do

1135
00:53:52,719 --> 00:53:54,640
Speaker 1: a team celebration, so you see a lot of cool

1136
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,080
Speaker 1: things there, like the Bob sled that the Vikings did

1137
00:53:57,160 --> 00:54:00,279
Speaker 1: and the Oakland dance that Marshawn Lynch did last You

1138
00:54:00,280 --> 00:54:04,600
Speaker 1: can also do spikes, and there's even a swagger option

1139
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,719
Speaker 1: where you can steal a signature celebration from the opponents team.

1140
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:10,480
Speaker 1: So if you're playing against the Panthers and you score

1141
00:54:10,480 --> 00:54:12,240
Speaker 1: a touchdown, you can go ahead and steal Cam Newton

1142
00:54:12,400 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 1: Superman celebration if you want. So it adds a lot

1143
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:16,880
Speaker 1: of fun and gives our players some agency about how

1144
00:54:16,880 --> 00:54:19,799
Speaker 1: they want to peacock on the field, and you always

1145
00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: it is kind of fun because the game does when

1146
00:54:22,480 --> 00:54:24,799
Speaker 1: you're playing it look a lot like a regular NFL game.

1147
00:54:24,840 --> 00:54:26,640
Speaker 1: You use the same TV angles and that kind of thing.

1148
00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,080
Speaker 1: One of the things you're looking at, explain to me

1149
00:54:29,160 --> 00:54:33,960
Speaker 1: what long Shot is and the characters involved in that. Yeah, absolutely,

1150
00:54:34,000 --> 00:54:36,239
Speaker 1: long Shot is a story mode, and it was our

1151
00:54:36,320 --> 00:54:39,080
Speaker 1: first attempt last season, the first installment of long Shot

1152
00:54:39,480 --> 00:54:42,200
Speaker 1: to go into this narrative space and tell an emotional

1153
00:54:42,239 --> 00:54:45,520
Speaker 1: story inside the world of football. And so season one

1154
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:48,160
Speaker 1: was really focused on teaching our players about the game

1155
00:54:48,160 --> 00:54:51,800
Speaker 1: of football and about Madden and taking him through Devin

1156
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:55,920
Speaker 1: Wade's journey through a game show actually that would get

1157
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:59,640
Speaker 1: him onto an NFL roster. Season two continues that journey,

1158
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 1: and now you're playing with Devin Wade and his buddy

1159
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,160
Speaker 1: Coult Cruise, and Devin Wade is in pursuit of a

1160
00:55:05,239 --> 00:55:08,000
Speaker 1: Super Bowl with the teams that he plays on. There's

1161
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,560
Speaker 1: a lot of cool cameos with current NFL stars in there,

1162
00:55:10,719 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: and then you can also take Colt Cruise through his

1163
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:15,320
Speaker 1: journey on deciding whether he wants to continue to pursue

1164
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:17,879
Speaker 1: a career as an NFL wide receiver or go back

1165
00:55:17,920 --> 00:55:19,840
Speaker 1: to his hometown High school and be the head coach.

1166
00:55:20,200 --> 00:55:24,360
Speaker 1: It's like reality Hard Knocks kind of thing or Bills

1167
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:28,279
Speaker 1: embedded kind of programs where you get behind the scenes. Correct. Yeah, yeah,

1168
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,759
Speaker 1: very similar. And what we've come to learn over the

1169
00:55:31,760 --> 00:55:35,000
Speaker 1: course of our thirty year history is players want to

1170
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,160
Speaker 1: engage with Madden in a number of different ways. We

1171
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,040
Speaker 1: already talked about the guys an Ultimate Team and the

1172
00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,480
Speaker 1: guys in Franchise. There's a group of people out there

1173
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:44,239
Speaker 1: who wanted to use Madden to learn about football, and

1174
00:55:44,239 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 1: they wanted to have an emotional connection to characters, and

1175
00:55:46,560 --> 00:55:49,080
Speaker 1: so long shot is the way that we've come to

1176
00:55:49,280 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 1: know those people. We're on the line with Gin Older Murgh.

1177
00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,520
Speaker 1: He is a game designer met in NFL nineteen. When

1178
00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:57,120
Speaker 1: I hear you describe the various aspects of the game, Clinton,

1179
00:55:57,160 --> 00:55:59,880
Speaker 1: it makes me wonder, I guess who the target dem

1180
00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,919
Speaker 1: graphic is. I'm assuming young males, but like what age group?

1181
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,600
Speaker 1: Who's who are the best customers for these Madden games

1182
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,359
Speaker 1: over the years, and how do you get them coming

1183
00:56:07,400 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: back every year for the update. Typically it's been the

1184
00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 1: same as the NFL young people, and we are scaling

1185
00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 1: a little bit on the older side. So we're actually

1186
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,120
Speaker 1: actively targeting to get a bit younger, just like the

1187
00:56:21,239 --> 00:56:23,680
Speaker 1: NFL as we're also targeting to get more diverse. We

1188
00:56:23,719 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: want to get more women into Madden and into football.

1189
00:56:27,920 --> 00:56:30,560
Speaker 1: So we're really are Our target audience right now is

1190
00:56:30,600 --> 00:56:34,319
Speaker 1: avid NFL fans who have played Madden before or who

1191
00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,680
Speaker 1: want to play Madden in the future, and we're looking

1192
00:56:36,719 --> 00:56:39,040
Speaker 1: to attract those people in a number of different ways. Yeah,

1193
00:56:39,080 --> 00:56:42,200
Speaker 1: Antonio Brown as the cover athlete this year, tell me

1194
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:45,839
Speaker 1: what goes into that decision, how important that is. It's

1195
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:48,560
Speaker 1: very important for our game, obviously, because that's our brand

1196
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:51,279
Speaker 1: ambassador for the year. What we used to do was

1197
00:56:51,440 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: a crowdsource vote that would end up on ESPN, and

1198
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 1: we stopped doing that a couple of years ago, just

1199
00:56:55,760 --> 00:56:58,800
Speaker 1: to go in a different direction. At the time, coming

1200
00:56:58,840 --> 00:57:00,760
Speaker 1: off of that great Super Bowl when that Tom Brady

1201
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:03,000
Speaker 1: and the Patriots had over the Falcons that year, it

1202
00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: just made sense because that was the first installment of

1203
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,920
Speaker 1: long Shot. Tom Brady is the ultimate long Shot, and

1204
00:57:07,960 --> 00:57:09,680
Speaker 1: we just it is a no brainer to get him

1205
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:12,200
Speaker 1: on the cover that year. Yeah, and then following up

1206
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:15,320
Speaker 1: this year, Antonio Brown has just taken the league by storm.

1207
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:17,760
Speaker 1: One of the greatest players in the history of game,

1208
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,040
Speaker 1: I think it's safe to say already and really has

1209
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,960
Speaker 1: been a great ambassador for us, and we're really happy

1210
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:24,520
Speaker 1: to have him on the cover. One of the things,

1211
00:57:24,560 --> 00:57:27,680
Speaker 1: you're always tweaking and you're always changing, as we've come

1212
00:57:27,720 --> 00:57:30,440
Speaker 1: to know through just talking to you these past few minutes,

1213
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 1: that you're always changing things and giving people more of

1214
00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: what they want. Have you what was the latest tweak

1215
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: you've done. With the new players coming into the NFL

1216
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:40,240
Speaker 1: that nobody knows about. We've got a quarterback in Buffalo,

1217
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:42,840
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, who is a high draft pick. How do

1218
00:57:42,880 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: you evaluate these guys put them in the game without

1219
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:49,000
Speaker 1: ever having seen them play at the NFL level. That's

1220
00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:52,000
Speaker 1: a great question. So in order to get those guys nailed,

1221
00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:55,280
Speaker 1: we do a few things. First, we read all the

1222
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:57,520
Speaker 1: scouting reports, and we watch as much college film as

1223
00:57:57,560 --> 00:58:00,440
Speaker 1: we can get our hands on. We also go interface

1224
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,480
Speaker 1: with these guys at events like the Combine and the

1225
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:05,400
Speaker 1: Rookie Premiere. That's where we scan their face so that

1226
00:58:05,400 --> 00:58:07,640
Speaker 1: we can have their likeness as as close to possible,

1227
00:58:07,760 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: and we ask them what touchdown dances they are hoping

1228
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:13,680
Speaker 1: to do when they score touchdowns and then all of

1229
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 1: this coalesces into getting them out and those are the

1230
00:58:15,880 --> 00:58:18,120
Speaker 1: guys that people are most excited about. And I had

1231
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: a feeling you guys might ask about Josh Allen, so

1232
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,000
Speaker 1: I have his ratings in front of me. He is

1233
00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:25,840
Speaker 1: launching as a seventy four overall player, which is pretty

1234
00:58:25,880 --> 00:58:28,720
Speaker 1: decent for a rookie quarterback, and his thorough power is

1235
00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,240
Speaker 1: actually ninety nine, which is the highest rating we have

1236
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,160
Speaker 1: in the game. He's a ninety nine throw power as

1237
00:58:33,160 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: a rookie, which is really good. And I'm personally looking

1238
00:58:36,360 --> 00:58:38,440
Speaker 1: forward to watching Josh Allen play this year because I

1239
00:58:38,480 --> 00:58:41,040
Speaker 1: grew up in Wyoming. Not very frequent that we have

1240
00:58:41,080 --> 00:58:44,400
Speaker 1: a Wyoming cowboy starting a quarterback in the NFL. So

1241
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,240
Speaker 1: really looking forward to see what he has in store,

1242
00:58:46,240 --> 00:58:48,360
Speaker 1: and hopefully we can upgrade his ratings over the course

1243
00:58:48,360 --> 00:58:51,640
Speaker 1: of the year as he has a successful campaign. There

1244
00:58:51,680 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: were some Wyoming fans in the stands at the Cleveland

1245
00:58:55,200 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: Browns game, the preseason game this last week. You know,

1246
00:58:57,880 --> 00:59:00,480
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if you've heard Allen is

1247
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 1: going to start against the Bengals on Sunday. Did you

1248
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:05,200
Speaker 1: know that? Yeah? I actually just heard you on the

1249
00:59:05,200 --> 00:59:08,320
Speaker 1: commercial break mentioned that, and that has me very excited

1250
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 1: to watch him play. I really like watching him throw

1251
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,800
Speaker 1: the ball. He's got a very strong arm. And one

1252
00:59:14,800 --> 00:59:17,240
Speaker 1: of my former teammates, Lorenzo Alexander, who you guys are

1253
00:59:17,240 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 1: really familiar with, has had a lot of really positive

1254
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:21,960
Speaker 1: things to say about him, So I'm looking forward to

1255
00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:24,080
Speaker 1: watching him play. Lorenzo's on the show with us about

1256
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 1: an hour from now, we'll mention it. And you did

1257
00:59:25,880 --> 00:59:28,920
Speaker 1: play five years, six different teams, right, Clint. How did

1258
00:59:28,920 --> 00:59:31,920
Speaker 1: you make that transition and how did that playing experience

1259
00:59:31,960 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 1: help you when you came to work for EA Sports

1260
00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:39,280
Speaker 1: and getting designing med and NFL games. Yeah, another great question.

1261
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:43,640
Speaker 1: I was a guy who was constantly fighting over that

1262
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,040
Speaker 1: roster bubble, and then two or three times over the

1263
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 1: course of the five years, I'd finally find myself getting

1264
00:59:49,720 --> 00:59:51,640
Speaker 1: over that roster bubble, and then I'd get hurt and

1265
00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:53,960
Speaker 1: I'd have to start over again. So I knew my

1266
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:56,720
Speaker 1: opportunities were starting to run short. I was a journeyman

1267
00:59:57,280 --> 01:00:00,080
Speaker 1: and just never made it over that hump. And I

1268
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,920
Speaker 1: came across the great opportunity here in form of an

1269
01:00:02,960 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 1: internship at Electronic Arts and halfway through the internship, I

1270
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: was offered a full time job and I had to

1271
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 1: make the decision if I wanted to continue my football

1272
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:13,360
Speaker 1: career or jump on here, and I just couldn't pass

1273
01:00:13,400 --> 01:00:15,720
Speaker 1: up the opportunity. I just love football. I want to

1274
01:00:15,720 --> 01:00:18,000
Speaker 1: be part of it, and this gives me a great

1275
01:00:18,040 --> 01:00:20,640
Speaker 1: opportunity to stay involved. In terms of how it helps me.

1276
01:00:22,680 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: I can interpret things that we watch on Sundays through

1277
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,040
Speaker 1: a players sets of eyes, so I can figure out

1278
01:00:29,080 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 1: what players are thinking and what they're trying to do,

1279
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,520
Speaker 1: and that helps me make our game more authentic. Twelve

1280
01:00:34,600 --> 01:00:37,280
Speaker 1: or thirteen years ago, when Mike Monarkey was the head

1281
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:38,920
Speaker 1: coach here in Buffalo, he and I would talk and

1282
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:42,080
Speaker 1: he used to make an annual pilgrimage to EA Sports

1283
01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:45,040
Speaker 1: in Florida for several weeks, I think, where people would

1284
01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,320
Speaker 1: pick his brain about what's going on with the NFL offenses,

1285
01:00:48,360 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: how to design certain places that still go on. Do

1286
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:52,640
Speaker 1: you bring active coaches and or players down for that

1287
01:00:52,720 --> 01:00:56,760
Speaker 1: sort of input? Oh, yeah, absolutely. We have a couple

1288
01:00:56,800 --> 01:00:59,760
Speaker 1: of coaches come visit us every year, a few players

1289
01:01:00,040 --> 01:01:02,760
Speaker 1: come in every now and then. We try to get

1290
01:01:02,760 --> 01:01:04,880
Speaker 1: as much information as we can about like I said,

1291
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:06,600
Speaker 1: the trends going on in the NFL, anything that we

1292
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:08,360
Speaker 1: may not know about that we want to know about.

1293
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:11,560
Speaker 1: And then when we're focusing on a specific feature. Over

1294
01:01:11,560 --> 01:01:13,560
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, we've really been going hard

1295
01:01:13,600 --> 01:01:16,280
Speaker 1: on pass coverage, so we've been bringing a lot of

1296
01:01:16,320 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 1: defensive backs coaches in to teach us the techniques and

1297
01:01:18,640 --> 01:01:21,640
Speaker 1: fundamentals to make sure that we're representing it correctly in

1298
01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:25,120
Speaker 1: our game. And also offensive line coaches have been very

1299
01:01:25,200 --> 01:01:28,080
Speaker 1: critical for us. Bob Wiley with the Cleveland Browns a

1300
01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:30,840
Speaker 1: very close friend of the Madden team, and we speak

1301
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:33,520
Speaker 1: to him quite often as well. Well, what you're in

1302
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,440
Speaker 1: the sweet spot for your career right when you think

1303
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 1: of your path there to EA Sports and what you're

1304
01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:41,000
Speaker 1: doing now, you you probably feel like you belong there.

1305
01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,520
Speaker 1: This is where you were supposed to be. Huh. Yeah, absolutely,

1306
01:01:44,640 --> 01:01:48,240
Speaker 1: I've I've really evolved from when I first got here

1307
01:01:48,240 --> 01:01:50,320
Speaker 1: as an intern. I was the football player who is

1308
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 1: as a cameo as a developer and now you know,

1309
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: I'm just known as as the game play guy now.

1310
01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,200
Speaker 1: And I was really very very fortunate. I only had

1311
01:01:59,200 --> 01:02:02,000
Speaker 1: about three months between the end of my NFL career

1312
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,240
Speaker 1: and when I caught on here, very fortunate and really

1313
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: really excited to be a part of the team. Still welcome.

1314
01:02:07,440 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 1: Congratulations to Clinton. Thanks for spending a few minutes with

Speaker 1: to the EA Madden NFL Twitter right. Thank you, perfect, Thanks,

1321
01:02:24,520 --> 01:02:27,840
Speaker 1: clin appreciate Clint Oldenburg, game designer for Madden NFL nineteen,

1322
01:02:27,880 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 1: which is out now available on Xbox one, PS four

1323
01:02:30,760 --> 01:02:34,400
Speaker 1: and PC platforms. Former NFL lineman five seasons in the league,

1324
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:37,040
Speaker 1: former draft pick of the Patriots in two thousand and seven.

1325
01:02:37,280 --> 01:02:41,280
Speaker 1: Clint Oldenburg, It's amazing. Look, I don't play Steve. I

1326
01:02:41,280 --> 01:02:43,240
Speaker 1: don't know if you. I mean, I've looked at him

1327
01:02:43,240 --> 01:02:45,600
Speaker 1: and played a little bit years ago. But I know

1328
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:49,160
Speaker 1: how important it is to many fans to play Madden games,

1329
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:52,200
Speaker 1: Meden NFL games, and how important the release is a

1330
01:02:52,240 --> 01:02:54,280
Speaker 1: couple of weeks ago. It's big. People wait all year

1331
01:02:54,320 --> 01:02:56,960
Speaker 1: for that. Yeah, I spent a little time in the

1332
01:02:57,040 --> 01:02:59,360
Speaker 1: EA building and to see them what they do and

1333
01:02:59,400 --> 01:03:02,760
Speaker 1: how they attack the game with all of their I mean,

1334
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 1: they on all fronts. And the amazing part is it's

1335
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:09,680
Speaker 1: not they just put this game together. They actively change

1336
01:03:09,720 --> 01:03:13,120
Speaker 1: it constantly. H And I think as the technology gets

1337
01:03:13,120 --> 01:03:16,360
Speaker 1: better as what gamers want to see them attack and

1338
01:03:16,400 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 1: try and give them what they want. It's pretty pretty

1339
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:20,640
Speaker 1: cool to see it. I mean, they're they're good at it,

1340
01:03:20,720 --> 01:03:23,400
Speaker 1: and they know a lot about football, and they know

1341
01:03:23,480 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 1: what fans want to see and they take their cue

1342
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 1: from what people how people see football, and that is

1343
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:30,600
Speaker 1: on TV. So it's pretty cool. That's why I got

1344
01:03:30,640 --> 01:03:33,160
Speaker 1: asking questions about who are you targeting, who's the audience,

1345
01:03:33,160 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 1: what's the target demographic? He said, they're looking to actually

1346
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:38,920
Speaker 1: get younger. I would I was surprised by that. I thought,

1347
01:03:39,320 --> 01:03:41,800
Speaker 1: you know, and again it's all stereotype. But the typical

1348
01:03:41,880 --> 01:03:44,920
Speaker 1: gamer is what a fourteen fifteen year old kid and

1349
01:03:45,280 --> 01:03:48,520
Speaker 1: his parents, you know, basement, you know, playing games. And

1350
01:03:48,640 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: I guess I assume that was kind of the maddened audience.

1351
01:03:51,400 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 1: It appears that's not the case. Maybe the mad and

1352
01:03:53,320 --> 01:03:54,960
Speaker 1: audience has grown up a little bit and they got

1353
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 1: to get younger. Yeah, very interesting. It is interesting, and

1354
01:03:57,480 --> 01:03:59,480
Speaker 1: they and it it'll continue to be huge. I mean,

1355
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:04,480
Speaker 1: you think it's Madden eighteen. It's been around a long

1356
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:06,920
Speaker 1: long time. Yeah, a long time. Thanks to Clint for

1357
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,040
Speaker 1: joining us that. That was a lot of fun. We

1358
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:12,040
Speaker 1: come back more reality football. We're gonna talk about the Bills.

1359
01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:14,720
Speaker 1: Their quarterback decision got a little bit of interesting yesterday

1360
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:17,400
Speaker 1: when the Bills announced that Josh Allen's going to start

1361
01:04:17,440 --> 01:04:20,160
Speaker 1: on Sunday. And our Twitter poll today deals with that.

1362
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,200
Speaker 1: Your prediction, not your hope, not who who rooting for,

1363
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 1: but your prediction on who will start September ninth against

1364
01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 1: the Baltimore Ravens. Let's talk about that when we come back.

1365
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:31,400

1402
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:24,720
Speaker 1: football guest. But like one year was Rax you know,

01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 1: could be like from it could be from Carson Wentz

1408
01:06:41,520 --> 01:06:44,160

1410
01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: fifteen shots of Bob Kraft. He couldably do it. It

1411
01:06:48,680 --> 01:06:53,400
Speaker 1: could be Bob Kraft. You laugh like sarcastic. Games is

1412
01:06:53,400 --> 01:06:56,080
Speaker 1: there's one camera just devoted to Bob Kraft right for

1413
01:06:56,400 --> 01:07:00,440
Speaker 1: Patriots on CBS usually too. But yeah, I've seen it.

1414
01:07:00,480 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 1: Now I have a let me just tell you something.

1415

Speaker 1: we you know, Bills fans are kind of afflicted with

1417
01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 1: Bob Kraft because he's the owner of their division rivals.

1418
01:07:13,200 --> 01:07:16,240
Speaker 1: He's one of the all time great human beings. He's unbeliever.

1419
01:07:17,160 --> 01:07:18,680
Speaker 1: Did you have you ever heard some of the stuff

1420

Speaker 1: the CBS know what the promo murder road sales and

1452
01:09:02,400 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Hey, our Twitter poll today deals with

1453
01:09:05,360 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: the topic of the Day. That really the top of

1454
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 1: the offseason is hasn't it been for the Bills quarterbacks?

1455
01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: All three of them? Now? With the Josh Allen starting

1456
01:09:12,240 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 1: Sunday against the Bengals, all three of them get a

1457
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:16,720
Speaker 1: chance to start a preseason game. So who do you

1458
01:09:16,840 --> 01:09:19,160
Speaker 1: predict now? Who are you're rooting for? Now? Who you

1459
01:09:19,160 --> 01:09:21,080
Speaker 1: hope for? Who do you predict will be the Bills

1460
01:09:21,120 --> 01:09:24,240
Speaker 1: starting quarterback when they play the Raven September ninth in Baltimore.

1461
01:09:24,400 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Give us a call. We got phone lines open eight

1462
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,200
Speaker 1: oh three oh five fifty or toll free one eight

1463
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:32,360
Speaker 1: eight eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can vote,

1464
01:09:32,360 --> 01:09:35,120
Speaker 1: and our Twitter poll is it's pretty active right now.

1465
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,120
Speaker 1: With the thirteen fourteen hundred votes on Twitter, fifty eight

1466
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,320
Speaker 1: percent of you predict that Josh Allen will get the

1467
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: start and the season opens in Baltimore. Thirty eight percent

1468
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:46,800
Speaker 1: of you predict Nathan Peterman. Only four percent say AJ McCarron. Look,

1469
01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:50,919
Speaker 1: I know there's an injury factor here, not a fractured collarbone,

1470
01:09:50,960 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: but an injury to AJ McCarron. But if we had

1471
01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:56,280
Speaker 1: done this poll last week before mccaren got hurt, I

1472
01:09:56,400 --> 01:09:58,840
Speaker 1: bet he might be the leader in this poll. Now

1473
01:09:58,840 --> 01:10:00,759
Speaker 1: he's getting four percent of the vote, and it's something's

1474
01:10:00,760 --> 01:10:03,800
Speaker 1: got to explain that. Yeah, it's hard. It's amazing how

1475
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,160
Speaker 1: fast he dropped out of the consciousness of the possibility

1476
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:10,040
Speaker 1: that it's gonna be him. He didn't not certainly, they

1477
01:10:10,040 --> 01:10:12,559
Speaker 1: didn't look good against Cleveland's first fourth series. They were

1478
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,200
Speaker 1: at four to three and out, so they couldn't get

1479
01:10:14,200 --> 01:10:16,439
Speaker 1: a first down. He looked bad, and we at that

1480
01:10:16,479 --> 01:10:19,240
Speaker 1: point coming into the Cleveland game, everybody's looking for That

1481
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:22,639
Speaker 1: was the key phrase in our show on Friday. We

1482
01:10:22,640 --> 01:10:27,879
Speaker 1: were looking for separation and and unfortunately for AJ McCarn

1483
01:10:27,920 --> 01:10:29,639
Speaker 1: he provided it, and that he couldn't get a first

1484
01:10:29,680 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 1: down when he was in there, and he came out

1485
01:10:31,120 --> 01:10:34,880
Speaker 1: hurt and and I mean, it's amazing how fast it

1486
01:10:34,960 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 1: seems everybody in in Twitterland and Twitterland and social media

1487
01:10:40,320 --> 01:10:43,800
Speaker 1: and in Bill's Bill's fan base have just kicked him

1488
01:10:43,840 --> 01:10:47,000
Speaker 1: to the curb in this quarterback race. Yeah, it's amazing.

1489
01:10:47,439 --> 01:10:49,559
Speaker 1: I think it is. He could still start September night.

1490
01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,720
Speaker 1: That's my point. I agree he could still be the guy.

1491
01:10:51,920 --> 01:10:54,040
Speaker 1: I'm not saying it's gonna happen, I mean either, but

1492
01:10:54,320 --> 01:10:57,080
Speaker 1: he's not going anywhere. Yeah, he's not going anywhere, and

1493
01:10:57,080 --> 01:11:02,720
Speaker 1: he's still uh except for that game. You know, that's well,

1494
01:11:02,760 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 1: I mean that's what that's what they gotta go buy.

1495
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:06,840
Speaker 1: He didn't play well and he didn't get much help either.

1496
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:09,240
Speaker 1: If you know, there was his offensive on the offensive

1497
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:11,840
Speaker 1: line didn't play that well in front of him. The

1498
01:11:11,920 --> 01:11:16,200
Speaker 1: running game wasn't there. Uh, and the defense showed. Uh.

1499
01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:20,639
Speaker 1: They were pretty exotic, no question. They confused him up front,

1500
01:11:21,080 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 1: but Ajo wasn't ready for it. I didn't play well,

1501
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:25,800
Speaker 1: and I think it's gonna cost him in the In

1502
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:30,000
Speaker 1: what people's perception about this quarterback race. A few callsign this.

1503
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:32,160
Speaker 1: Let's go to Bob and Lewiston. Bob, go ahead, you're

1504
01:11:32,160 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 1: on the air with us. Hi, Hey, lurk hi. I

1505
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: was thinking about this quarterback thing with Peterman and Alan. Yeah,

1506
01:11:40,840 --> 01:11:45,640
Speaker 1: go ahead to me. Peterman's essensively, lookie, he's playing uh

1507
01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 1: maybe a quarter two quarters of football and that was

1508
01:11:50,680 --> 01:11:53,800
Speaker 1: that was last season. So essentially he's a rookie. So

1509
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:56,839
Speaker 1: if you get to compare the two, lookie, the rookie

1510
01:11:57,080 --> 01:12:01,679
Speaker 1: Alan's gotta beat by a mile that well, okay, Bob,

1511
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna let see respond to this because I

1512
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,320
Speaker 1: believe he feels differently. You know, Uh, Peterman has two

1513
01:12:07,520 --> 01:12:10,600
Speaker 1: NFL starts last year and a couple of relief appearances,

1514
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,040
Speaker 1: had mixed success. I think would be the best way

1515
01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,360
Speaker 1: to put it. He had some success. He had a

1516
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:17,400
Speaker 1: real good preseason. Um, does he haven't beat by a mile?

1517
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:20,160
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that, would you, Steve. I mean, there's

1518
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,759
Speaker 1: a lot to like about Nathan Peterman experienced wise, He's

1519
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:25,840
Speaker 1: he's he's quite a bit ahead of Josh Allen. I

1520
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:29,160
Speaker 1: mean he's been in a he's been on a he's

1521
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:31,400
Speaker 1: been on a game planned session, he's been in a

1522
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:33,800
Speaker 1: in a playoff run as a quarterback, He's been a

1523
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:37,080
Speaker 1: full season around the block in the NFL. UM, It's

1524
01:12:38,840 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: there's a lot to be said. Don't underestimate what that

1525
01:12:41,720 --> 01:12:45,920
Speaker 1: means to a guy's ability to feel comfortable and with

1526
01:12:45,960 --> 01:12:49,160
Speaker 1: what he's doing. Peterman. Now, there's no question, Uh, Nathan

1527
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 1: Peterman's got limitations as well. Josh Allen dwarfs dwarfs him

1528
01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:58,639
Speaker 1: in his physical attributes. But Nate Peter Peterman has been

1529
01:12:59,800 --> 01:13:02,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL for an entire year, and I'm not

1530
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:04,439
Speaker 1: saying that puts him miles ahead. But I still think

1531
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:08,360
Speaker 1: he's significantly ahead in that regard than to Josh Allen.

1532
01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:09,920
Speaker 1: But Josh Allen's got a lot of things that put

1533
01:13:10,000 --> 01:13:12,719
Speaker 1: him ahead of Peterman as well. And that's the gray

1534
01:13:12,720 --> 01:13:15,080
Speaker 1: area we're looking at. But you know, I get it, Bob.

1535
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Nathan Peterman is not like a ten year

1536
01:13:18,240 --> 01:13:20,679
Speaker 1: of A. It's not like Josh McCowan in New York.

1537
01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:23,439
Speaker 1: He's not even like Teddy Bridgewater in New York. He's

1538
01:13:23,479 --> 01:13:25,840
Speaker 1: not like some of these other guys that are vying

1539
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:29,040
Speaker 1: for positions or even vying for backup roles. He's not

1540
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:32,320
Speaker 1: that experienced. But he has played good in the two

1541
01:13:32,320 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: preseasons where he's got extensive action, he's played very well.

1542
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,759
Speaker 1: Let's go to Lou and Erie, Pennsylvania. Hello Lou, welcome

1543
01:13:37,800 --> 01:13:40,719
Speaker 1: to the show. You're on the air with us eye there.

1544
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,760
Speaker 1: So you know, it's easy to see a scenario now

1545
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: where Josh Allen would actually win the job. But if

1546
01:13:46,840 --> 01:13:49,000
Speaker 1: there's going to be a tapping of the brakes within

1547
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:52,080
Speaker 1: the organization, you would assume it would mostly come from

1548
01:13:52,080 --> 01:13:55,360
Speaker 1: the GM who. You know, it's supposed to see the

1549
01:13:55,600 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 1: big picture of things, A and B has had some

1550
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 1: curveball stone at him as far as the old line

1551
01:14:01,479 --> 01:14:04,519
Speaker 1: he was able to put together this year. Do you

1552
01:14:04,640 --> 01:14:07,519
Speaker 1: think he has that ability the way this team is

1553
01:14:07,520 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 1: structured right now, does Brandon Being have the ability to say,

1554
01:14:09,720 --> 01:14:11,519
Speaker 1: you know what, a a hold lot of second guys. I

1555
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:14,280
Speaker 1: can see some scenarios where this is a really bad matchup.

1556
01:14:14,880 --> 01:14:17,400
Speaker 1: And you know, we saw what happened when an offensive

1557
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:20,000
Speaker 1: coordinator got into the year of the head coach last

1558
01:14:20,080 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 1: year and said, hey, this guy gives us the best

1559
01:14:22,479 --> 01:14:25,720
Speaker 1: chance to win, and then what happened. And you know,

1560
01:14:25,800 --> 01:14:28,640
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman hopefully he's got the psyche to recover from that.

1561
01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:31,439
Speaker 1: He's showing that, but still it wasn't a great scenario

1562
01:14:31,560 --> 01:14:34,000
Speaker 1: for him. So, yeah, do you think that the GM

1563
01:14:34,080 --> 01:14:36,400
Speaker 1: has a say here? Well, yeah, question let me. I

1564
01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 1: don't know that the offensive coordinator pushed for Nathan Peterman

1565
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:41,639
Speaker 1: last year. I just want to clear that. But yeah,

1566
01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 1: it's a good question, and I anticipate that, Yeah, he

1567
01:14:44,160 --> 01:14:46,120
Speaker 1: has some input, right Brandon Being Shore, Oh he's got

1568
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: a voice. Yeah, absolutely, he's got a voice. But I'll

1569
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:50,800
Speaker 1: tell you this, the coaches guy, the guys in the room,

1570
01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot and his crew have the final say. That's

1571
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,559
Speaker 1: the way it works. The GM picks the players, and

1572
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:58,960
Speaker 1: the head coach kind of says who plays. And I

1573
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:02,040
Speaker 1: think the relationship that Brandon and Sean have, they'll both

1574
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:03,920
Speaker 1: listen to each other the pros and consent, they'll come

1575
01:15:03,920 --> 01:15:07,000
Speaker 1: to a mutual decision. So, yeah, Brandon Bean does have

1576
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:09,519
Speaker 1: a voice in that room, no question about it. I

1577
01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:13,719
Speaker 1: mean and Sean, and the reason and the relationship between

1578
01:15:13,720 --> 01:15:15,639
Speaker 1: the two is to how big a voice that is.

1579
01:15:17,240 --> 01:15:21,479
Speaker 1: But make no mistake, Sean McDermott has a pretty good

1580
01:15:21,560 --> 01:15:23,479
Speaker 1: voice as well. And I would think that they're gonna

1581
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:26,679
Speaker 1: be that They're going to agree on whether Josh Allen

1582
01:15:26,720 --> 01:15:28,679
Speaker 1: should play or when he where he whether he shouldn't.

1583
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,559
Speaker 1: And I think Brandon Bean probably trusts Sean McDermott his

1584
01:15:32,680 --> 01:15:35,320
Speaker 1: voice and Brian Dable's voice more than he trusts his own.

1585
01:15:35,439 --> 01:15:37,439
Speaker 1: He's got to know those guys, see these guys and

1586
01:15:37,520 --> 01:15:40,280
Speaker 1: know what they're worth, know what they're capable of doing.

1587
01:15:40,320 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 1: So I think Brandon Bean will defer to Sean McDermott

1588
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 1: and Brian Dable in the fact about who should be

1589
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:48,680
Speaker 1: planning and when I don't think, but I'm sure he

1590
01:15:48,720 --> 01:15:50,720
Speaker 1: does have some input. Yeah, it's a good question. Thanks Luke.

1591
01:15:50,760 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: Thanks for Colin. From the tweet sheet to our question,

1592
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,000
Speaker 1: whom do you predict will be the bill starting quarterback

1593
01:15:56,040 --> 01:15:58,719
Speaker 1: against the Ravens when the regular season opens, Robbie Perry

1594
01:15:58,720 --> 01:16:01,880
Speaker 1: tweets in if Josh Allen plays well, it's his job

1595
01:16:02,200 --> 01:16:04,680
Speaker 1: currently his job to lose. I don't know if I

1596
01:16:04,680 --> 01:16:07,360
Speaker 1: agree with that. It's getting close to being his job

1597
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:09,880
Speaker 1: to lose, but I don't think he's quite there yet. Steve,

1598
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:12,040
Speaker 1: what do you think, Yeah, his job to lose? You

1599
01:16:12,080 --> 01:16:14,600
Speaker 1: agree with that? I don't know that's I know. I

1600
01:16:14,600 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 1: don't think that's true at all. I don't think that's

1601
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:18,400
Speaker 1: true at all. I don't think it's anybody's job to lose.

1602
01:16:18,439 --> 01:16:20,639
Speaker 1: I think three of those guys got to compete with

1603
01:16:20,680 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: each other and see who plays best. I think it

1604
01:16:23,280 --> 01:16:25,160
Speaker 1: comes down to who the coaches think can win. It

1605
01:16:25,200 --> 01:16:28,840
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. No, I don't think Josh Allen it's his

1606
01:16:28,920 --> 01:16:32,120
Speaker 1: job to lose. I do think he has exceeded expectations.

1607
01:16:32,920 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I do think that, but those expectations I don't think

1608
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:41,160
Speaker 1: included to begin with. I don't think they included playing

1609
01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:43,560
Speaker 1: on opening Day. I don't think they expected him to

1610
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:48,000
Speaker 1: get there with Peterman and McCarron and Camp. From Tom

1611
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,519
Speaker 1: Spence on the tweet sheet, the question whom do you

1612
01:16:50,560 --> 01:16:52,599
Speaker 1: predict will be the bill starting quarterback when the regular

1613
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: season opens, He says Alan, Josh Allen. The talent is there,

1614
01:16:56,120 --> 01:16:59,320
Speaker 1: he looks comfortable, especially for a rookie from a small conference.

1615
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 1: He's the most more and the arm expands what can

1616
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,360
Speaker 1: be done, what teams have to respect? True, I agree

1617
01:17:05,400 --> 01:17:07,880
Speaker 1: with that. And finally from Brian Cook on the tweet sheet,

1618
01:17:08,160 --> 01:17:10,599
Speaker 1: if Alan doesn't bomb this week he starts week one,

1619
01:17:10,680 --> 01:17:13,719
Speaker 1: we are at a point where Nathan's edge and football

1620
01:17:13,720 --> 01:17:18,520
Speaker 1: IQ no letter no longer outweighs Josh's massive physical advantages

1621
01:17:18,600 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 1: and Josh's football IQ is only going to improve. Aj

1622
01:17:21,720 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 1: may have an outside chance, but hard to say with

1623
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:27,960
Speaker 1: him being hurt. Yeah, that's pretty that's only pretty spot on. Yeah,

1624
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:29,640
Speaker 1: and that's true. I mean, that's and that's where we

1625
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: were looking for Peterman's ability to lead and his football

1626
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:37,800
Speaker 1: IQ and his experience, which we just were reminded from

1627
01:17:37,840 --> 01:17:42,240
Speaker 1: an earlier caller, Bob that you know Peterman did have

1628
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: an edge over a year of being in the National

1629
01:17:45,320 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: Football League that Josh Allen didn't. But sooner or later,

1630
01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:52,599
Speaker 1: Alan's physical abilities we're going to trump that experience. And

1631
01:17:52,840 --> 01:17:55,160
Speaker 1: for some of you that's already happened. You want to

1632
01:17:55,160 --> 01:17:58,639
Speaker 1: see Josh Allen and what you think that his physical

1633
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: abilities Bill need to throw the ball all over the

1634
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:05,000
Speaker 1: football field with a lot of velocity is going to

1635
01:18:05,120 --> 01:18:08,920
Speaker 1: outweigh any end experience he has. In regards to Nathan

1636
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: Peterman or a J. McCarron, maybe maybe they're at that

1637
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:13,200
Speaker 1: some of you are at that point right now. I

1638
01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,120
Speaker 1: don't know if I am yet. I'd love to see

1639
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:17,840
Speaker 1: this game, that's for sure. Let's get to call from

1640
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,880
Speaker 1: Jim in Tonawanda. Hello, Jim, go ahead with us. Are

1641
01:18:20,880 --> 01:18:25,040
Speaker 1: you doing? My point is? My point is this. I

1642
01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:28,280
Speaker 1: think everybody's got to calm down. You know, you get

1643
01:18:28,320 --> 01:18:30,800
Speaker 1: this kid in the middle of a regular season game

1644
01:18:30,840 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 1: in November, and when they game plan firm, you play

1645
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 1: against Belichick, it's gonna be a different story. Here's my point.

1646
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:40,880
Speaker 1: You start Peterman. It makes sense. You start Peterman. You

1647
01:18:40,920 --> 01:18:43,360
Speaker 1: see what you got with Peterman. Look look at the upset.

1648
01:18:43,400 --> 01:18:45,880
Speaker 1: Where's he rolls the tenant six or ninety seven season?

1649
01:18:46,240 --> 01:18:50,000
Speaker 1: Then you've got collateral, but at least you're eliminated one

1650
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:52,880
Speaker 1: part of the puzzle to start Peterman. The final point

1651
01:18:52,960 --> 01:18:56,360
Speaker 1: is it takes time to be an NFL quarterback. You know,

1652
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:58,800
Speaker 1: you give this kid a break. You can't just throw

1653
01:18:58,880 --> 01:19:01,639
Speaker 1: him in there because it takes you gotta heat, right,

1654
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 1: you gotta do all these things. And I don't think

1655
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 1: he's got Peterman's already going through that to one year.

1656
01:19:06,160 --> 01:19:09,320
Speaker 1: So I really think it's the upside is you know

1657
01:19:09,360 --> 01:19:12,320
Speaker 1: you're risking it, But the upside is is a Peterman

1658
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,840
Speaker 1: turns out to be a good quarterback, You got it,

1659
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:18,559
Speaker 1: you got some collateral. Yeah, there's a risk. I agree

1660
01:19:18,560 --> 01:19:20,040
Speaker 1: with you on that. There's a risk of starting a

1661
01:19:20,120 --> 01:19:22,240
Speaker 1: rookie at quarterback. I would agree with that. And what

1662
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:25,080
Speaker 1: is going to be the signing fact you're here, I believe,

1663
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:29,360
Speaker 1: is outweighing that risk versus the potential that Josh Allen

1664
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:32,400
Speaker 1: provides with his superior physical skills, his ability to throw

1665
01:19:32,400 --> 01:19:34,880
Speaker 1: the football. Um, it's a close one. I think it's

1666
01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,280
Speaker 1: a close one, which is why it's valid discussion. It's

1667
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 1: hard for me to say, yeah, let's think about how

1668
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,519
Speaker 1: good Nathan Peterman could be because we'll get more back

1669
01:19:45,560 --> 01:19:47,120
Speaker 1: for him, and to try I guess that's what That's

1670
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 1: what Jim was saying, and we'll have collateral. I don't

1671
01:19:51,520 --> 01:19:54,320
Speaker 1: I think it's a bad idea to start a season

1672
01:19:55,200 --> 01:20:00,559
Speaker 1: thinking about future years. You start to see and thinking

1673
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna win win games with the guys you've got,

1674
01:20:03,360 --> 01:20:06,120
Speaker 1: the guys you have and invested in, They're gonna come

1675
01:20:06,160 --> 01:20:08,880
Speaker 1: through for you. They're gonna play like you hope they

1676
01:20:08,880 --> 01:20:11,360
Speaker 1: can play, You're not. I don't think I want to

1677
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:13,800
Speaker 1: go into a season as a head coach like Sean

1678
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,519
Speaker 1: McDermott or GM like Brandon Bean or even and certainly

1679
01:20:16,560 --> 01:20:19,240
Speaker 1: not as a player thinking well, I hope, you know,

1680
01:20:19,320 --> 01:20:21,640
Speaker 1: we can kind of learn something about our players this

1681
01:20:21,760 --> 01:20:23,800
Speaker 1: year so that next year we can come back and

1682
01:20:23,840 --> 01:20:27,280
Speaker 1: really get No. They want to win, and they want

1683
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:30,920
Speaker 1: to win today, tomorrow and whenever they want to win

1684
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: every single game they take the field up there. I

1685
01:20:33,439 --> 01:20:40,439
Speaker 1: don't think anybody is interested in the future like down

1686
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:42,760
Speaker 1: the road two years, four years, five years. They want

1687
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,160
Speaker 1: to win right now and one they want. They're gonna

1688
01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:47,439
Speaker 1: play the quarterback that gives them the best chance to

1689
01:20:47,479 --> 01:20:51,439
Speaker 1: do that. On September ninth, they're gonna find out who

1690
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:53,599
Speaker 1: that is, and they're gonna play him, and they're gonna

1691
01:20:53,680 --> 01:20:55,599
Speaker 1: expect everybody to be on board that. I don't think

1692
01:20:55,640 --> 01:20:59,840
Speaker 1: there's any benefit. In fact, I think I think it

1693
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:03,479
Speaker 1: hurt you if you go into the season not thinking

1694
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:08,320
Speaker 1: about this season, this team, this record, that they're going

1695
01:21:08,360 --> 01:21:10,720
Speaker 1: to earn who they are right now and who you've

1696
01:21:10,720 --> 01:21:12,800
Speaker 1: got to play every week to help you win. I

1697
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:16,120
Speaker 1: think it's a bad idea to put something other than

1698
01:21:16,160 --> 01:21:22,400
Speaker 1: that on the front burner. Sam on the line from Williamsville, Hello, Sam, Hey,

1699
01:21:22,479 --> 01:21:27,040
Speaker 1: how are you doing? Okay? I don't know. I've changed

1700
01:21:27,080 --> 01:21:29,680
Speaker 1: my mind one hundred percent and three weeks ago, I,

1701
01:21:31,840 --> 01:21:34,680
Speaker 1: like a lot of people, I was really impressed with

1702
01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:37,960
Speaker 1: Josh Allen and he looks like you know, he certainly

1703
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,759
Speaker 1: looks like he's got all the tools, like everybody said,

1704
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:43,759
Speaker 1: and out of the three of them, he just looks

1705
01:21:44,160 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: so much more like a natural quarterback. And I just wanted,

1706
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:51,519
Speaker 1: my gut feel is if that quarterback coach and that

1707
01:21:51,600 --> 01:21:57,479
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator can get inside this kid's head and giving

1708
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:02,080
Speaker 1: the I know he's he's not it's not proving yet,

1709
01:22:02,479 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 1: but just giving getting that poise I just think are

1710
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:10,000
Speaker 1: a shot now is so much better. Uh, you know,

1711
01:22:10,080 --> 01:22:14,800
Speaker 1: with with with this kid. Um, I just think there's

1712
01:22:14,920 --> 01:22:20,680
Speaker 1: there's more positive things there than the other two. And

1713
01:22:20,760 --> 01:22:23,679
Speaker 1: I you know, I slip my opinion, but I think

1714
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:26,400
Speaker 1: mainly it's this mental toughness that I'm a little bit

1715
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 1: concerned about. But if they can bring him along, it's

1716
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,200
Speaker 1: sort of trial by erra. I still think we're better off. Yeah,

1717
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,200
Speaker 1: it's interesting too because I know this, if if Josh

1718
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:40,759
Speaker 1: Allen starts on September ninth, there's gonna be a lot

1719
01:22:41,080 --> 01:22:43,600
Speaker 1: that Brian day Ball and Sean McDermott can do to

1720
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,719
Speaker 1: help him be successful early. They'll they'll give him plays,

1721
01:22:46,760 --> 01:22:48,880
Speaker 1: they'll talk to him, they'll and in fact, I've thought

1722
01:22:48,880 --> 01:22:50,559
Speaker 1: about this a lot. A lot of teams will do this.

1723
01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: They don't huddle. They may just go no huddle, because

1724
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:55,720
Speaker 1: that way the coordinator can talk him up to the

1725
01:22:55,720 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage that the radio won't turn off until

1726
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,519
Speaker 1: fifteen seconds left in the place they're gonna hello, He

1727
01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:04,439
Speaker 1: can talk him through what he's reading right away and say, hey, listen,

1728
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:06,640
Speaker 1: look at look at this number, that number, look at

1729
01:23:06,680 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: the safeties here, think about this, here's your play. Prevent

1730
01:23:09,560 --> 01:23:12,280
Speaker 1: some substitutions right, Prevent some substitutions, you get it and

1731
01:23:12,360 --> 01:23:14,920
Speaker 1: you go faster, And that way, Brian Dabole can help

1732
01:23:15,000 --> 01:23:17,240
Speaker 1: him mentally see what he's looking at because he can

1733
01:23:17,320 --> 01:23:20,800
Speaker 1: talk to him in his head in the radio while

1734
01:23:20,840 --> 01:23:23,080
Speaker 1: the playclock is winding down. If they're already at the line,

1735
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 1: the defense has to get lined up. That gives the

1736
01:23:25,880 --> 01:23:29,639
Speaker 1: coaching staff a chance to get him ahead start mentally

1737
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,000
Speaker 1: and what he's looking at and help him like anticipate.

1738
01:23:32,080 --> 01:23:35,120
Speaker 1: So they could help him a lot if they if

1739
01:23:35,160 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 1: he does get the chance to start, and they'll help

1740
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:38,560
Speaker 1: him with game plans, they'll give him stuff that he

1741
01:23:38,600 --> 01:23:41,360
Speaker 1: can do, they'll help him LaShaun McCoy will be going

1742
01:23:41,439 --> 01:23:42,800
Speaker 1: full speed. I mean, he's gonna have a lot of

1743
01:23:42,840 --> 01:23:44,600
Speaker 1: guys in his in his corner helping him do it.

1744
01:23:45,120 --> 01:23:48,040
Speaker 1: I think the question is this, and the only thing

1745
01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:51,760
Speaker 1: that's that wouldn't make that happen, that he wouldn't start

1746
01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:56,840
Speaker 1: on September nineth is that Nathan Peterman gives him a

1747
01:23:56,880 --> 01:24:02,320
Speaker 1: better chance. That's the only thing. And yeah, that's the

1748
01:24:02,439 --> 01:24:04,479
Speaker 1: question that we have to get answered between now in

1749
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,720
Speaker 1: September ninth and then we still we're still not there.

1750
01:24:06,760 --> 01:24:09,479
Speaker 1: I think A J. McCarron is gonna is gonna fall

1751
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,360
Speaker 1: away because he's not gonna be able to practice. And

1752
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,800
Speaker 1: if Josh Allen continues to get better with every rep,

1753
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:16,320
Speaker 1: he's gonna get a lot more reps to get a

1754
01:24:16,360 --> 01:24:20,200
Speaker 1: lot better with without three guys taking them. So, um,

1755
01:24:20,760 --> 01:24:22,479
Speaker 1: there's a lot going into this, and there's a lot

1756
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:24,400
Speaker 1: of question marks that are happening just at the right

1757
01:24:24,479 --> 01:24:26,880
Speaker 1: time of this where and this is getting heated and

1758
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,719
Speaker 1: now they're yeah, I mean, you know what else happens

1759
01:24:29,760 --> 01:24:33,920
Speaker 1: next week? Next week before the final preseason game at Chicago,

1760
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:36,519
Speaker 1: they'll start to work on Baltimore next week right that

1761
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:39,000
Speaker 1: we'll start to look at balmore. They're probably already, are

1762
01:24:39,080 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 1: they They're probably already get looking at because they've got

1763
01:24:41,040 --> 01:24:43,840
Speaker 1: now Baltimore has got a couple of games under its belt.

1764
01:24:43,920 --> 01:24:50,200
Speaker 1: Baltimore hasn't been beaten in the Yeah, yeah, absolutely, listen,

1765
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:52,200
Speaker 1: they'll start talking about it. It'll be it'll be all

1766
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:54,280
Speaker 1: part of it. Yeah, all right, a break, We got more.

1767
01:24:54,360 --> 01:24:56,760
Speaker 1: Want you want to hear what what some of the

1768
01:24:56,840 --> 01:24:59,400
Speaker 1: Bills teammates say about Josh Allen. We got a couple

1769
01:24:59,439 --> 01:25:01,960
Speaker 1: of sound bites him the last few days. That's coming

1770
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,840
Speaker 1: up when we return come on back One Bill's Live

1771
01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,120
Speaker 1: presented by Kalaida Health. Steve and I come in here

1772
01:25:06,160 --> 01:25:25,240
Speaker 1: from One Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio holding a charter. Steve,

1773
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:29,000
Speaker 1: you're all right. Here we go, Welcome back to the show.

1774
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,040
Speaker 1: Don Murphy and Steve Champion. Steve helped me through that. Steve,

1775
01:25:32,120 --> 01:25:35,519
Speaker 1: this is a troubling note that passed across our desks

1776
01:25:35,840 --> 01:25:39,400
Speaker 1: this afternoon for Bill's guard. Richie Incognito arrested in Arizona

1777
01:25:39,479 --> 01:25:43,200
Speaker 1: yesterday and the report says that he had a problem

1778
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,200
Speaker 1: in a funeral home following the death of his father.

1779
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:48,240
Speaker 1: The report is he was talking at staffords at the

1780
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 1: funeral home. He suddenly exploded and began yelling at various people.

1781
01:25:51,840 --> 01:25:53,720
Speaker 1: Police called to the scene to respond to an out

1782
01:25:53,760 --> 01:25:57,600
Speaker 1: of control Richie Incognito arrested for disorderly conduct. Taken to

1783
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:00,719
Speaker 1: a nearby police station book post for a mug shot.

1784
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:03,519
Speaker 1: Incanguito had tweeted that his father passed away over the weekend.

1785
01:26:03,920 --> 01:26:05,439
Speaker 1: He'd been in Arizona to move him out of his

1786
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,320
Speaker 1: long time home. I believe he was moving to Florida.

1787
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:10,760
Speaker 1: He had the issue at the Florida Jim in May.

1788
01:26:12,360 --> 01:26:16,880
Speaker 1: It's it's said, I know he's got avenues to go

1789
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,960
Speaker 1: to to get help, because Richie obviously is in some

1790
01:26:20,080 --> 01:26:21,640
Speaker 1: distress right now. And I hope he does. And I

1791
01:26:21,720 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 1: hope friends of his. I like Richie a lot. I

1792
01:26:24,160 --> 01:26:26,160
Speaker 1: hope friends of his reach out and say, hey, you

1793
01:26:26,320 --> 01:26:29,080
Speaker 1: need help right now, like he needs an intervention. Don't

1794
01:26:29,120 --> 01:26:32,360
Speaker 1: you think this is just disturbing because we had him

1795
01:26:32,400 --> 01:26:34,320
Speaker 1: at his best. I think those three years here we

1796
01:26:34,360 --> 01:26:36,840
Speaker 1: saw him at his best well, I think, one productive player,

1797
01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,439
Speaker 1: a good teammate, and he was delighted to be around

1798
01:26:39,479 --> 01:26:41,640
Speaker 1: for a couple of years. One of the reasons, one

1799
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:43,559
Speaker 1: of the reasons he did so well here in Buffalo

1800
01:26:43,680 --> 01:26:46,160
Speaker 1: is because he did have the people around him. He

1801
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 1: had teammates who were sitting with him every day. He

1802
01:26:48,479 --> 01:26:51,120
Speaker 1: was somewhere he needed to be and had some structure.

1803
01:26:51,200 --> 01:26:52,640
Speaker 1: Right now, I don't know that he has any of that,

1804
01:26:52,840 --> 01:26:58,240
Speaker 1: And it's obvious that there he doesn't have a reputation

1805
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,600
Speaker 1: for being able to handle emotional things, and you know,

1806
01:27:01,720 --> 01:27:05,120
Speaker 1: losing his father I think here was one of those

1807
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:07,519
Speaker 1: things that he had a hard time handling, and um

1808
01:27:07,760 --> 01:27:10,240
Speaker 1: he set him off. I he there's no question he

1809
01:27:10,320 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: was at his best when he was hearing Buffalo. His

1810
01:27:12,280 --> 01:27:15,000
Speaker 1: teammates seemed to really like him. That goes all of them.

1811
01:27:16,040 --> 01:27:18,000
Speaker 1: They were really they were bummed when he when he

1812
01:27:18,120 --> 01:27:21,600
Speaker 1: wasn't gonna be wasn't going to be back. And but

1813
01:27:21,720 --> 01:27:25,360
Speaker 1: there's no question that Richie, you know, he needs needs

1814
01:27:25,400 --> 01:27:26,960
Speaker 1: somebody in his life to help take care of him,

1815
01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:28,880
Speaker 1: you know, to get him on the straight and narrow.

1816
01:27:29,080 --> 01:27:32,160
Speaker 1: We wish him well. We do not another another bad

1817
01:27:32,200 --> 01:27:34,040
Speaker 1: thing though for Richie and Kanto. I hate to read

1818
01:27:34,120 --> 01:27:37,559
Speaker 1: that we're talking about the Bills and their quarterback an issue.

1819
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,679
Speaker 1: And when you know they've got Josh Allen starting this Sunday,

1820
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,400
Speaker 1: what about the regular season opener? Who do you think

1821
01:27:44,439 --> 01:27:47,120
Speaker 1: they'll start in the regular season opener? Manny and Hamburg

1822
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:49,240
Speaker 1: thoughts on the quarterbacks many go ahead and welcome to

1823
01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,240
Speaker 1: the show. A definitely, and gentlemen, um here's my take

1824
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:55,240
Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks for what it's worth. Peterman I think

1825
01:27:55,439 --> 01:27:59,080
Speaker 1: is more methodical. I think he's more capable of marching

1826
01:27:59,120 --> 01:28:02,680
Speaker 1: down the field with boring passes if you want to

1827
01:28:02,720 --> 01:28:04,840
Speaker 1: call him at eight yard, isn't it, Whereas I think

1828
01:28:04,960 --> 01:28:07,880
Speaker 1: Josh Allen is more we have to go three and out,

1829
01:28:07,960 --> 01:28:10,280
Speaker 1: three and out and then hit a thirty five couple

1830
01:28:10,320 --> 01:28:12,959
Speaker 1: of thirty five yard passes, so I think he flashes

1831
01:28:13,040 --> 01:28:15,439
Speaker 1: more than Peterman. So what I'd like to see is

1832
01:28:15,479 --> 01:28:19,400
Speaker 1: the coaching staff in practice for first string defenses, blissing

1833
01:28:19,479 --> 01:28:21,679
Speaker 1: and all that, each one of those guys and see

1834
01:28:21,720 --> 01:28:24,400
Speaker 1: which one handles it better. And then as far as McCarron,

1835
01:28:24,439 --> 01:28:26,800
Speaker 1: I thought he was ill prepared last week, it looked

1836
01:28:26,800 --> 01:28:28,680
Speaker 1: like it took forever for the ball to go from

1837
01:28:28,720 --> 01:28:31,360
Speaker 1: the center to him, and I'm yelling it if he's

1838
01:28:31,400 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 1: centered the ball center. And then finally the ball got centered,

1839
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,120
Speaker 1: he held it on too long and got killed. So

1840
01:28:37,280 --> 01:28:39,280
Speaker 1: I think he's out of the picture all together, unless

1841
01:28:39,280 --> 01:28:41,160
Speaker 1: he had a really bad bad day. Yeah, I don't

1842
01:28:41,200 --> 01:28:42,960
Speaker 1: think he's out of the picture all together. And obviously

1843
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:45,840
Speaker 1: his health will be a big consideration here. Um, Look,

1844
01:28:45,880 --> 01:28:47,960
Speaker 1: the offensive line did not play well the first unit

1845
01:28:48,400 --> 01:28:51,559
Speaker 1: last week at all. Yeah, no, they didn't. They struggled,

1846
01:28:51,560 --> 01:28:53,519
Speaker 1: and they got some exotic looks from Cleveland, but they

1847
01:28:53,560 --> 01:28:57,240
Speaker 1: weren't ready for him. And and they were even on

1848
01:28:57,360 --> 01:29:01,360
Speaker 1: the one yard touchdown pass that Josh Allen through Marcus

1849
01:29:01,439 --> 01:29:03,160
Speaker 1: Murphy Whift on the block, and that's the guy he

1850
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:05,680
Speaker 1: had to adjust to and get around, run around, So

1851
01:29:07,520 --> 01:29:09,240
Speaker 1: they had some issues up front. Now they got him

1852
01:29:09,240 --> 01:29:11,920
Speaker 1: straightened out. Defensively, the Bills defense looked pretty bad on

1853
01:29:11,960 --> 01:29:14,000
Speaker 1: the first series and then they shored it up and

1854
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:15,920
Speaker 1: made some adjustments and looked pretty good from there on.

1855
01:29:16,120 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 1: But the offensive line did. They struggled a little bit,

1856
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:22,160
Speaker 1: and some of it was with a physical matchup like

1857
01:29:22,280 --> 01:29:26,080
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett, but other of it it was communication. So

1858
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:28,960
Speaker 1: it was and I don't know how much of that

1859
01:29:29,080 --> 01:29:31,880
Speaker 1: falls on the shoulders of Verry J McCarron, but certainly

1860
01:29:31,960 --> 01:29:33,720
Speaker 1: the result of it was he didn't play very well.

1861
01:29:34,040 --> 01:29:36,200
Speaker 1: Players do not get a vote on who the starting

1862
01:29:36,280 --> 01:29:38,600
Speaker 1: quarterback should be for the opener against the Ravens, but

1863
01:29:38,640 --> 01:29:40,680
Speaker 1: they talked about it yesterday, and it's important to note

1864
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: the comments we hear hurt were made by a couple

1865
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:47,519
Speaker 1: of Bills players before they announced that Josh Allen starting

1866
01:29:47,600 --> 01:29:50,439
Speaker 1: this Sunday. But veteran safety Micah Hyde has some thoughts

1867
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:52,960
Speaker 1: on what are he's seen so far from rookie quarterback

1868
01:29:53,040 --> 01:29:58,759
Speaker 1: Josh Allen. I think his consistency is what's mind blogging

1869
01:29:58,840 --> 01:30:01,719
Speaker 1: to me right now, just because um I think early

1870
01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:05,760
Speaker 1: on OTA he'sn't even into a training camp. The ball

1871
01:30:05,960 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 1: was you know, he throws a hard ball, and so

1872
01:30:08,240 --> 01:30:10,519
Speaker 1: when it's not accurate, it's all over the place. You know,

1873
01:30:10,640 --> 01:30:14,320
Speaker 1: tips overthrows gives the defense a better chance to pick

1874
01:30:14,400 --> 01:30:18,040
Speaker 1: it off. But as of late, he's he's been he's

1875
01:30:18,080 --> 01:30:20,560
Speaker 1: been accurate. He's been hitting guys in their chest and

1876
01:30:20,600 --> 01:30:23,400
Speaker 1: they have no they have no reason not to catch

1877
01:30:23,439 --> 01:30:24,920
Speaker 1: the ball. You know, it's kind of being thrown out

1878
01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,080
Speaker 1: their stomach and the kind of just you know, kind

1879
01:30:27,120 --> 01:30:29,040
Speaker 1: of reacting to it. But um, he's been a lot

1880
01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:32,040
Speaker 1: more accurate and just his his mindset going in every day.

1881
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:35,280
Speaker 1: He's getting better. He's working against the working with the ones,

1882
01:30:35,320 --> 01:30:38,400
Speaker 1: going against the ones, and um seeing him you know,

1883
01:30:38,840 --> 01:30:40,320
Speaker 1: kind of listening to the defense. I think that's the

1884
01:30:40,840 --> 01:30:43,320
Speaker 1: big thing about the elite quarterbacks in this league. Um,

1885
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,200
Speaker 1: you know, I got to play against Aaron Rodgers, you know,

1886
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:49,759
Speaker 1: for for multiple years, and um, he kind of dissects

1887
01:30:49,760 --> 01:30:51,880
Speaker 1: the defense before the play. He looks at the uh,

1888
01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:56,160
Speaker 1: the rotation of the secondary, losing the linebackers. He listens.

1889
01:30:56,320 --> 01:30:57,840
Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest thing. He listens to the

1890
01:30:57,880 --> 01:30:59,640
Speaker 1: down left, down right calls. He listens to all the

1891
01:30:59,680 --> 01:31:02,360
Speaker 1: calls the defense is making and Josh actually did that today,

1892
01:31:02,439 --> 01:31:05,200
Speaker 1: which was it was just pretty impressive. Hear the downright

1893
01:31:05,240 --> 01:31:07,880
Speaker 1: down call, down left callum, and then from there he

1894
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:10,000
Speaker 1: was able to, um, know exactly we were in and

1895
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: make a make a good throw. So that's just a

1896
01:31:12,040 --> 01:31:14,880
Speaker 1: little things. He's maturing quick and I think that's a

1897
01:31:15,080 --> 01:31:17,320
Speaker 1: that's a big friend. It's pretty good, pretty good. Michael

1898
01:31:17,360 --> 01:31:19,559
Speaker 1: Hi talking about what he has noticed in practice from

1899
01:31:19,680 --> 01:31:22,920
Speaker 1: Josh Allen listening to the defensive calls making adjustments. That

1900
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,120
Speaker 1: goes to your point about how smart Josh Allen is.

1901
01:31:25,120 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 1: Steve Well, that was one of the attributes coming out.

1902
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:30,560
Speaker 1: The only attribute that he had coming out that was

1903
01:31:30,760 --> 01:31:35,920
Speaker 1: unflattering was his completion percentage UM. And we had Phil

1904
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,479
Speaker 1: Sims on the show pre draft and he said, listen,

1905
01:31:38,560 --> 01:31:41,439
Speaker 1: don't worry about the completion percentage. They're asking him to

1906
01:31:41,479 --> 01:31:43,840
Speaker 1: make throws in Wyoming, then you don't ask anybody to

1907
01:31:43,920 --> 01:31:46,360
Speaker 1: make I mean, that's how good he was. And um,

1908
01:31:46,479 --> 01:31:49,560
Speaker 1: so his completion percentage should have been poor given the

1909
01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:53,760
Speaker 1: offense that he was running, but not everybody thought that, um,

1910
01:31:55,120 --> 01:32:00,200
Speaker 1: and even he has exceeded expectations to the point, and

1911
01:32:00,280 --> 01:32:02,080
Speaker 1: that's why I want to know. Was this part of

1912
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:03,840
Speaker 1: the plan the whole time to give him the start

1913
01:32:03,960 --> 01:32:06,000
Speaker 1: or did he earn this? I mean, is this something

1914
01:32:06,080 --> 01:32:09,080
Speaker 1: that they're like, Wow, this guy really is exceeding our expectations.

1915
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:12,040
Speaker 1: I forget about not starting him on September night. We're

1916
01:32:12,040 --> 01:32:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna give him a chance because if he continues to

1917
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:17,440
Speaker 1: improve like he has steadily throughout the training camp and OTAs,

1918
01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: we ain't waiting. That's big. Ask John tomorrow ten am. Sure.

1919
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,360
Speaker 1: I was kind of I don't know, I might be busy.

1920
01:32:25,520 --> 01:32:27,439
Speaker 1: We're gonna ask him. You gotta ask. I'm not gonna do.

1921
01:32:28,479 --> 01:32:31,639
Speaker 1: I feel bad in there. All these big time reporters

1922
01:32:31,680 --> 01:32:35,720
Speaker 1: are in there. Yeah you and South Oh yeah big time.

1923
01:32:36,160 --> 01:32:40,120
Speaker 1: You heard what Mike I thought thinks about Josh Allen

1924
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:43,400
Speaker 1: playing against him in practice on defense, Jeremy Curley catches

1925
01:32:43,439 --> 01:32:46,160
Speaker 1: passes from him doing games in then on the practice field,

1926
01:32:46,479 --> 01:32:49,519
Speaker 1: Jerry cur Jeremy Curley had some thoughts on Josh Allen

1927
01:32:49,560 --> 01:32:52,360
Speaker 1: and how much he has progressed since training camp began.

1928
01:32:54,880 --> 01:32:57,320
Speaker 1: Guess this is this is the thankful any young guy.

1929
01:32:57,360 --> 01:33:00,479
Speaker 1: It's not just receivables, but for quarterbacks as well. When

1930
01:33:00,520 --> 01:33:02,200
Speaker 1: you got the ability to try to slow the game

1931
01:33:02,240 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 1: down in your head and you know, kind of see

1932
01:33:04,960 --> 01:33:09,360
Speaker 1: stuff at different perspectives and it helps you. And you

1933
01:33:09,479 --> 01:33:14,200
Speaker 1: know this, he knows offense now, you know the terminal

1934
01:33:14,240 --> 01:33:17,240
Speaker 1: hours and stuff is not it's not new. So he starts.

1935
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:19,360
Speaker 1: He's being able to sew the stuff down. And when

1936
01:33:19,400 --> 01:33:20,720
Speaker 1: you can do that, you know, that's when you get

1937
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:22,960
Speaker 1: to play with the natural really and yeah, that's a

1938
01:33:23,040 --> 01:33:28,200
Speaker 1: natural ability. Yeah, everybody just, oh, he's got a natural ability.

1939
01:33:28,200 --> 01:33:29,880
Speaker 1: You don't worry about that. All right, We're gonna take

1940
01:33:29,880 --> 01:33:32,400
Speaker 1: a break. Lorenzo Alexander gonna join this next hour. Peter

1962
01:34:45,200 --> 01:34:48,000

1963

Speaker 1: preseason competition between Ryan and Bill's veteran Colton Schmith, who's

1964

1990
01:36:08,240 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: glad to have you here. Yeah, I appreciate it. You know,

1991
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:11,360
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I was gonna get a chance

1992
01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:12,720
Speaker 1: to come on the show today. And you're having a

1993
01:36:12,800 --> 01:36:14,920
Speaker 1: lot of national gas. That's kind of bucked me around.

1994
01:36:14,920 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 1: I thought we were a family, you know. I thought

1995
01:36:16,160 --> 01:36:20,360
Speaker 1: I had my spot kind of solidified. But producer, is

1996
01:36:20,400 --> 01:36:23,160
Speaker 1: that what it is? So Jay okay, oh, JAF, Steve

1997

1998
01:36:25,680 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: no saying who's on the show. I can't I listen.

1999
01:36:27,560 --> 01:36:30,400
Speaker 1: I feel like that's on every Monday, Like I come in. No,

2000
01:36:30,600 --> 01:36:33,840
Speaker 1: I'm teething. You feel like everyone good to see Lorenzo.

2001
01:36:33,880 --> 01:36:35,360
Speaker 1: A lot of stuff to talk about. I want to

2002
01:36:35,360 --> 01:36:36,920
Speaker 1: talk about the bills, but first I want to ask

2003
01:36:36,960 --> 01:36:39,880
Speaker 1: you about the helmet hits, which have been a big issue.

2004
01:36:40,120 --> 01:36:43,240
Speaker 1: We had the Dean Glandino, former vice president officiating on

2005
01:36:43,320 --> 01:36:45,880
Speaker 1: the show yesterday. M give me your thoughts on how

2006
01:36:45,920 --> 01:36:48,120
Speaker 1: it's worked. There have been too many egregious issues in

2007
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:50,160
Speaker 1: Bills games so far, but you see around the league,

2008
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:51,880
Speaker 1: what do you think, how is it working? The helmet

2009
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:54,479
Speaker 1: is Well, we've had a couple. I mean we had

2010
01:36:54,600 --> 01:36:56,560
Speaker 1: Julian Stafford, I think in the first game when he

2011
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:58,320
Speaker 1: goes out to go to tackle a guy hitting with

2012
01:36:58,400 --> 01:37:01,000
Speaker 1: his face mask, the running back actually getting hit and

2013
01:37:01,040 --> 01:37:03,439
Speaker 1: he drops his head and hits Julian and Julian gets

2014
01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:06,240
Speaker 1: called for the penalty. And obviously we've seen countless penalties

2015
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:10,040
Speaker 1: across the league that look like good, clean hits getting called. Um,

2016
01:37:10,400 --> 01:37:12,920
Speaker 1: this is something that I kind of knew that was

2017
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:17,799
Speaker 1: gonna happen. There was gonna be a lot of good calls,

2018
01:37:17,880 --> 01:37:20,360
Speaker 1: bad calls kind of all over the place and steal people,

2019
01:37:20,520 --> 01:37:23,680
Speaker 1: leaving people confused about what is the actual rule. UM.

2020
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:25,599
Speaker 1: I think personally, I think it needs to be walked

2021
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:28,320
Speaker 1: back quite a bit and maybe just talk about the

2022
01:37:28,479 --> 01:37:31,360
Speaker 1: top of the helmet, the crown of the helmet, because

2023
01:37:31,360 --> 01:37:35,200
Speaker 1: as a defender, I'm never gonna go and tackle a

2024
01:37:35,240 --> 01:37:37,519
Speaker 1: guy and put my head back and hit a guy

2025
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:41,280
Speaker 1: with my chin. I mean, you're gonna have some some

2026
01:37:41,520 --> 01:37:43,800
Speaker 1: lean and some tilt to your helmet and now having

2027
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:46,799
Speaker 1: your head completely down is where you have the increase

2028
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:50,679
Speaker 1: of injuries concussions. Obviously, the Ryan Shay's here type style

2029
01:37:50,800 --> 01:37:53,599
Speaker 1: plays so um and and then it makes it easier

2030
01:37:53,680 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 1: for officials to call because it's all about angles for them.

2031
01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:58,400
Speaker 1: You can have somebody have a good clean hit get

2032
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:01,320
Speaker 1: called a penalty or had one that should get called,

2033
01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:04,080
Speaker 1: but if the officials in position and can't quite see it,

2034
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: will miss it. But the risky ones, the no ones

2035
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:10,960
Speaker 1: you can catch. Yeah, we just had on the MSG broadcast.

2036
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:13,320
Speaker 1: You had the one between the Jaguars and the Vikings

2037
01:38:13,439 --> 01:38:16,080
Speaker 1: and the defensive back breaks down to make the tackle

2038
01:38:16,160 --> 01:38:19,160
Speaker 1: the running back, but just he's not even the DB's

2039
01:38:19,160 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: breaking and he's not even going forward. Now he does

2040
01:38:21,040 --> 01:38:24,920
Speaker 1: duck his head, but he's standing still at the point

2041
01:38:24,960 --> 01:38:27,000
Speaker 1: where that and the running back bowls over him and

2042
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:29,640
Speaker 1: they call the dB for the helmet hit. And I

2043
01:38:29,760 --> 01:38:32,520
Speaker 1: saw in the first quarter or so of the Cincinnati

2044
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:36,960
Speaker 1: Dallas game. You know, running back comes through, he looks out,

2045
01:38:37,080 --> 01:38:39,240
Speaker 1: he looks for a dB, puts his head down, runs

2046
01:38:39,320 --> 01:38:41,360
Speaker 1: right at him, and he doesn't get called for it.

2047
01:38:42,280 --> 01:38:43,840
Speaker 1: It's got to be both sides of it. But we

2048
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:46,640
Speaker 1: all know it's not. And we were actually at the

2049
01:38:46,680 --> 01:38:50,160
Speaker 1: Competition Committee this past year and we had I think

2050
01:38:50,200 --> 01:38:52,560
Speaker 1: Thomas Davis was in there talking and actually on the

2051
01:38:52,640 --> 01:38:55,799
Speaker 1: way out he was talking to one of the officials

2052
01:38:55,800 --> 01:38:57,519
Speaker 1: and the ffsicals said, I'm never going to call that

2053
01:38:57,600 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 1: on a guy that's running the ball trying to protect himself.

2054
01:39:00,520 --> 01:39:02,640
Speaker 1: So that's just the mindset that they already have that

2055
01:39:03,040 --> 01:39:05,360
Speaker 1: he's bracing for a hit and try to protect himself,

2056
01:39:05,880 --> 01:39:07,880
Speaker 1: and he can lure his head and hit me, but

2057
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:11,560
Speaker 1: I can't protect myself or reciprocate like they expect you

2058
01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:13,600
Speaker 1: to get out of the way pretty much. Did you

2059
01:39:13,680 --> 01:39:16,040
Speaker 1: know they want to see the what is that the

2060
01:39:16,120 --> 01:39:19,160
Speaker 1: New Orleans Saints Vikings type of play? I mean, you know,

2061
01:39:19,840 --> 01:39:23,400
Speaker 1: just at the way, so I know that you care

2062
01:39:23,439 --> 01:39:27,000
Speaker 1: about player's safety. It's really it's important everybody would acknowledge it,

2063
01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:30,400
Speaker 1: correct m some of us. I think I'm in this

2064
01:39:30,520 --> 01:39:33,360
Speaker 1: camp believe that I'm willing to give the officials and

2065
01:39:33,479 --> 01:39:36,759
Speaker 1: the league a little bit of room here to figure

2066
01:39:36,800 --> 01:39:38,639
Speaker 1: out the best way to enforce this in the interest

2067
01:39:38,680 --> 01:39:41,240
Speaker 1: of player's safety. Maybe there's gonna be some bad calls

2068
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:44,080
Speaker 1: early on to change habits, to change what they want

2069
01:39:44,080 --> 01:39:46,280
Speaker 1: to do is prevent players from always being in the

2070
01:39:46,360 --> 01:39:49,280
Speaker 1: habit of luwering your head and initiating contact. Both of

2071
01:39:49,320 --> 01:39:51,519
Speaker 1: those points are important to the to the penalty call.

2072
01:39:51,640 --> 01:39:53,880
Speaker 1: You can call it on every single play. Then what

2073
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,400
Speaker 1: about offensive alignment of defensive linement hitting each other when

2074
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:59,240
Speaker 1: they when they initiate contact with their head. Yes, your helmet,

2075
01:39:59,280 --> 01:40:01,160
Speaker 1: your head at the top your body, you're gonna hit

2076
01:40:01,200 --> 01:40:04,880
Speaker 1: the helmet to helmet. What about goal line plays? How

2077
01:40:04,880 --> 01:40:06,479
Speaker 1: are you going to call that? It's definitely on that

2078
01:40:06,520 --> 01:40:08,960
Speaker 1: because they actually taught to cut and dive out forward.

2079
01:40:08,960 --> 01:40:10,640
Speaker 1: You don't think their helmet is not hitting it the

2080
01:40:10,680 --> 01:40:15,080
Speaker 1: bodies first. So there are several calls that are going

2081
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 1: to be hard to cause it to no cause a

2082
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,759
Speaker 1: part of the game is he trying to initiate contact

2083
01:40:19,920 --> 01:40:22,080
Speaker 1: is just so hard, and it's for defenders. It's hard

2084
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:25,800
Speaker 1: to tackle. I understand player safety. I just think the

2085
01:40:25,920 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 1: rule needs to be a little bit more black and

2086
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:31,519
Speaker 1: white and drawn black a little bit because of the

2087
01:40:31,640 --> 01:40:35,040
Speaker 1: way this is football too. I mean, so this has

2088
01:40:35,080 --> 01:40:36,720
Speaker 1: been going on for a long time and I know

2089
01:40:36,800 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: they're trying to clean up the game, but they're walking

2090
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:43,360
Speaker 1: up against the line that's making the game extremely hard

2091
01:40:43,400 --> 01:40:46,320
Speaker 1: to play defensively. I mean, I'm running out there trying

2092
01:40:46,320 --> 01:40:48,680
Speaker 1: to tackle somebody. I'm thinking about, Okay, now where am

2093
01:40:48,720 --> 01:40:50,240
Speaker 1: I going to place my head? I don't want to

2094
01:40:50,320 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: hit in. I want to make sure. I mean, I

2095
01:40:52,439 --> 01:40:54,479
Speaker 1: shouldn't be playing. Should just be able to play freely

2096
01:40:54,520 --> 01:40:56,760
Speaker 1: without dropping my eyes. I get that part. But if

2097
01:40:56,760 --> 01:40:58,800
Speaker 1: I hit I got with my face mask and I

2098
01:40:58,880 --> 01:41:02,000
Speaker 1: happen to grazeest Helm or I hit him in it

2099
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,280
Speaker 1: in his shoulder pads, that shouldn't be a penalty. A

2100
01:41:04,320 --> 01:41:08,080
Speaker 1: couple of years ago, they successfully change that forced players

2101
01:41:08,120 --> 01:41:11,360
Speaker 1: to change their aiming point. Uh. And I guess I'm thinking,

2102
01:41:11,360 --> 01:41:14,040
Speaker 1: why wouldn't that work here time? I get it, but

2103
01:41:14,240 --> 01:41:16,120
Speaker 1: that that that penalty can get caught a lot too.

2104
01:41:16,200 --> 01:41:18,360
Speaker 1: It still gets called I mean, on good clean hits,

2105
01:41:18,400 --> 01:41:21,559
Speaker 1: it's still that's that's hard too. I don't necessarily like it, obviously,

2106
01:41:21,680 --> 01:41:25,760
Speaker 1: guys sometimes got to pull off it. Just you just

2107
01:41:25,880 --> 01:41:28,200
Speaker 1: continue to slow us down. I don't see any rules.

2108
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:30,720
Speaker 1: And I guess my frustration is too, is that it's

2109
01:41:30,720 --> 01:41:33,599
Speaker 1: all defensive things. I was just watching some film today

2110
01:41:33,760 --> 01:41:37,680
Speaker 1: and um, the Cincinnati game, and the Cincinnati lineman comes

2111
01:41:37,760 --> 01:41:39,760
Speaker 1: up climbed to the second level. They was playing Dallas,

2112
01:41:39,800 --> 01:41:42,120
Speaker 1: it might even been last year. The guy beats him.

2113
01:41:42,360 --> 01:41:46,479
Speaker 1: The guard turns around the goals to cutting and dives

2114
01:41:46,520 --> 01:41:48,200
Speaker 1: at him with his helmet and hits his ankle. The

2115
01:41:48,280 --> 01:41:52,960
Speaker 1: guy stays up. But should that be a penalty? They should? Right,

2116
01:41:53,120 --> 01:41:57,880
Speaker 1: They don't call it though all the time. You know

2117
01:41:57,920 --> 01:42:00,800
Speaker 1: what I mean, it's it's about the head and neck

2118
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,599
Speaker 1: area as well. When you initiate contact on the head

2119
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:06,400
Speaker 1: and neck area, it's not just about the post. Well,

2120
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:08,320
Speaker 1: it is about you can hit him anywhere. As long

2121
01:42:08,320 --> 01:42:09,600
Speaker 1: as your head is down. I can hit you in

2122
01:42:09,680 --> 01:42:12,960
Speaker 1: your stomach and it should the ability, right, Yeah, it

2123
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:17,000
Speaker 1: doesn't matter about it at all. Right, you can't tell

2124
01:42:17,080 --> 01:42:20,080
Speaker 1: me that running back play when they duck and they

2125
01:42:20,200 --> 01:42:23,040
Speaker 1: run through my stomach because I'm staying up high. He's

2126
01:42:23,080 --> 01:42:24,920
Speaker 1: brace it for a hit. But they're never going to

2127
01:42:25,000 --> 01:42:27,120
Speaker 1: call that play. The thing the problem seems to me

2128
01:42:27,560 --> 01:42:30,439
Speaker 1: is that we all know that when you watch a

2129
01:42:30,479 --> 01:42:33,200
Speaker 1: lot of football, it's there's gonna be situations where you've

2130
01:42:33,280 --> 01:42:37,559
Speaker 1: got to give the defender something he can he can

2131
01:42:37,720 --> 01:42:40,640
Speaker 1: do to get the guy down. You've got if if

2132
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,800
Speaker 1: it's a short yardage play. There's got to be something

2133
01:42:42,880 --> 01:42:47,360
Speaker 1: he can do to stop in short the guy short

2134
01:42:47,400 --> 01:42:49,599
Speaker 1: without you know, because here's what it is. It's all

2135
01:42:49,640 --> 01:42:51,720
Speaker 1: the all the tackles are starting to get to be

2136
01:42:51,800 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 1: drag downs or you know wrestling matches where the guy

2137
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:58,560
Speaker 1: turns and the receiver or the running back whoever, he

2138
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:00,519
Speaker 1: hits the guy and they wrap up and then they

2139
01:43:00,600 --> 01:43:02,400
Speaker 1: fall forward. You know, they give the guy the extra

2140
01:43:02,560 --> 01:43:04,680
Speaker 1: yard and a half on after contact because you're not

2141
01:43:04,720 --> 01:43:07,840
Speaker 1: allowed to come up and stone him because you can't

2142
01:43:07,880 --> 01:43:10,559
Speaker 1: take the posture to do that right right, So they're

2143
01:43:10,560 --> 01:43:12,640
Speaker 1: gonna have to give find a way to give the

2144
01:43:12,760 --> 01:43:18,120
Speaker 1: defenders some tool or technique they can use to stop

2145
01:43:18,200 --> 01:43:19,720
Speaker 1: a guy. And I think the easiest way is just

2146
01:43:19,840 --> 01:43:22,479
Speaker 1: walking that back. Is talking about the top and crown

2147
01:43:22,560 --> 01:43:24,640
Speaker 1: of the helmet versus if I hit you with my

2148
01:43:24,720 --> 01:43:27,200
Speaker 1: face mask. That shouldn't be It shouldn't be a penalty

2149
01:43:27,240 --> 01:43:30,080
Speaker 1: at all. Lord Joe Alexander Bills landbacker in studio with

2150
01:43:30,200 --> 01:43:32,080
Speaker 1: us for several more minutes as we talk about the

2151
01:43:32,160 --> 01:43:35,320
Speaker 1: Bills and the NFL. It's on the opposite side of

2152
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: the ball. But we were talking on when you walked

2153
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:39,360
Speaker 1: in here and I said, it's been fun to have

2154
01:43:39,520 --> 01:43:42,479
Speaker 1: this quarterback competition. I would even call it a controversy,

2155
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 1: a competition going on. It's giving us a lot of

2156
01:43:44,680 --> 01:43:48,639
Speaker 1: content months. Just to your take on you know, Josh

2157
01:43:48,680 --> 01:43:51,160
Speaker 1: starts this Sunday, What do you think that means? Um?

2158
01:43:51,479 --> 01:43:53,040
Speaker 1: You know what, I don't. I don't think it means

2159
01:43:53,120 --> 01:43:56,559
Speaker 1: anything um different than outside of him getting his opportunity

2160
01:43:56,560 --> 01:43:59,040
Speaker 1: to run with the ones. You know, just being around

2161
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,559
Speaker 1: this organization in this new regime for the last couple

2162
01:44:01,600 --> 01:44:04,680
Speaker 1: of years, they're real calculated and regimented out as far

2163
01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 1: as how they planned it out and planning things out,

2164
01:44:07,640 --> 01:44:09,360
Speaker 1: and I think this is another part of the process.

2165
01:44:10,200 --> 01:44:12,600
Speaker 1: I think they wanted every quarterback to have an opportunity,

2166
01:44:12,840 --> 01:44:15,320
Speaker 1: and now it's just Josh's turn. Obviously he's been playing

2167
01:44:15,400 --> 01:44:18,400
Speaker 1: really well, so people are even more excited about it.

2168
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:23,320
Speaker 1: But this organization normally doesn't operate out of emotion because

2169
01:44:23,320 --> 01:44:25,599
Speaker 1: that can be dangerous at times too, So I'm looking

2170
01:44:25,640 --> 01:44:28,560
Speaker 1: forward to it. Josh is definitely starting to earn my

2171
01:44:28,720 --> 01:44:31,479
Speaker 1: trust as how he plays on game days. I think

2172
01:44:31,520 --> 01:44:35,599
Speaker 1: he's gotten a lot better, has a lot of poise, passion, juice,

2173
01:44:35,720 --> 01:44:37,439
Speaker 1: you know as we call it, and it's really been

2174
01:44:37,800 --> 01:44:40,360
Speaker 1: doing some really good things for a young guy, just

2175
01:44:40,479 --> 01:44:42,560
Speaker 1: showing his poise and his arm strength and all the

2176
01:44:42,640 --> 01:44:45,280
Speaker 1: talents has really been shining, right, But you think you're

2177
01:44:45,320 --> 01:44:47,800
Speaker 1: like me, I suspected it, But you think this was

2178
01:44:48,240 --> 01:44:50,000
Speaker 1: decided that he was going to get his chance to

2179
01:44:50,040 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 1: start with the Ones on the like week three of

2180
01:44:52,400 --> 01:44:55,920
Speaker 1: the preseason. You thought this was setting in place weeks ago,

2181
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 1: and it's not really a reaction to how that's been going. Yeah,

2182
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:00,720
Speaker 1: not at all. I mean, I think it's something that

2183
01:45:00,800 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: they wanted to set up to where everybody got their

2184
01:45:03,439 --> 01:45:06,639
Speaker 1: opportunity to work with the Ones because obviously your supporting

2185
01:45:06,760 --> 01:45:09,200
Speaker 1: cast helps you, and I think they want to give

2186
01:45:09,200 --> 01:45:11,320
Speaker 1: everybody a fair shake out of it, and everybody's been

2187
01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:13,120
Speaker 1: doing a great job and he's actually, you know, he's

2188
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:16,000
Speaker 1: earned it too. So um, it's it's going to be

2189
01:45:16,080 --> 01:45:17,920
Speaker 1: fun to see him go out there and obviously being

2190
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:21,840
Speaker 1: our the game and the press. That's most like a

2191
01:45:22,120 --> 01:45:24,439
Speaker 1: regular season game, a home game in front of the crowd.

2192
01:45:24,520 --> 01:45:26,519
Speaker 1: Be able to come out the tunnel as a starter,

2193
01:45:26,880 --> 01:45:28,680
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of special tool. So what this

2194
01:45:28,920 --> 01:45:32,040
Speaker 1: is is Nathan Peterman Week one of the preseason. Nathan

2195
01:45:32,080 --> 01:45:36,719
Speaker 1: Peterman first quarter, AJ the second quarter, and Josh Allen

2196
01:45:36,800 --> 01:45:39,879
Speaker 1: the second half. Gate week two, it was AJ mccaren

2197
01:45:39,960 --> 01:45:45,040
Speaker 1: first quarter, Josh Allen second quarter, Nathan Peterman the second half,

2198
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,360
Speaker 1: and this one's gonna be Josh Allen the first quarter.

2199
01:45:47,840 --> 01:45:51,280
Speaker 1: Probably it would have been a J. Mccaren second and

2200
01:45:51,479 --> 01:45:56,240
Speaker 1: Nathan or no, no, the opposite h this j Robin.

2201
01:45:56,560 --> 01:46:00,200
Speaker 1: It works out. Everybody's getting there with every dude been

2202
01:46:00,320 --> 01:46:02,479
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman in the second quarter, and then AJ would

2203
01:46:02,479 --> 01:46:04,719
Speaker 1: have taken the entire second half. Now, this, this injury

2204
01:46:04,800 --> 01:46:07,240
Speaker 1: has nothing to do with the fact that this has

2205
01:46:07,320 --> 01:46:09,439
Speaker 1: happening for Josh at this point, because this was a plan.

2206
01:46:09,720 --> 01:46:13,360
Speaker 1: You're saying, well, I don't know. I think we're on

2207
01:46:13,439 --> 01:46:16,200
Speaker 1: the same page. We both three around. This is the

2208
01:46:16,280 --> 01:46:20,080
Speaker 1: plan of weeks ago. Sure, yeah, I'm gonna I'm gonna

2209
01:46:20,080 --> 01:46:24,240
Speaker 1: find out. I'm gonna ask. I ain't gonna find out,

2210
01:46:24,280 --> 01:46:26,519
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna ask. He might tell you that that's

2211
01:46:26,600 --> 01:46:31,720
Speaker 1: not like secret. Yeah, we've planned this. I suggest that

2212
01:46:31,840 --> 01:46:35,000
Speaker 1: it and it looks that way to me. Okay, if

2213
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,360
Speaker 1: you had moments in practice where Josh Allen passed well

2214
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:40,559
Speaker 1: whiz by you or around you, and you're like, whoa well, yeah,

2215
01:46:40,840 --> 01:46:42,680
Speaker 1: I wasn't standing next to it, but I could hear it,

2216
01:46:42,760 --> 01:46:45,880
Speaker 1: you know, across the field. Yeah, across the field, right, Yeah,

2217
01:46:45,920 --> 01:46:48,160
Speaker 1: I mean you get, especially the first couple of days

2218
01:46:48,400 --> 01:46:50,320
Speaker 1: when you're not used to seeing the ball come out

2219
01:46:50,360 --> 01:46:52,360
Speaker 1: of somebody's hand, that that hard. But that type of

2220
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,599
Speaker 1: velocity is whoo. And he said, why guys jumping out

2221
01:46:55,640 --> 01:46:57,360
Speaker 1: of the way of the ball. You know, have a

2222
01:46:57,479 --> 01:46:59,519
Speaker 1: chance to pick it, but getting out the way. So, yeah,

2223
01:46:59,520 --> 01:47:01,760
Speaker 1: you saw that first couple of times. But obviously we've

2224
01:47:01,800 --> 01:47:04,040
Speaker 1: been around it for the entire training camp and if

2225
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,640
Speaker 1: got acclimated to it a little bit, but when he

2226
01:47:07,800 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 1: when he let that thing go, when he really wants

2227
01:47:09,520 --> 01:47:13,000
Speaker 1: to fit it in somewhere, it's impressive. Yeah. To give

2228
01:47:13,080 --> 01:47:15,320
Speaker 1: us your impressions, we haven't talked here, said since the

2229
01:47:15,360 --> 01:47:17,400
Speaker 1: first day a camp. You've had two preseason games and

2230
01:47:17,880 --> 01:47:20,280
Speaker 1: four weeks worth of practice. How's the Buffalo defense look

2231
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:21,640
Speaker 1: to you? What are you guys doing? Well? What do

2232
01:47:21,720 --> 01:47:24,559
Speaker 1: you think we are coming along steady pace? I mean,

2233
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:28,519
Speaker 1: obviously last week we let the running game get out

2234
01:47:28,560 --> 01:47:30,320
Speaker 1: of control earlier on that game, but we're able to

2235
01:47:30,360 --> 01:47:32,840
Speaker 1: stop the bleeding. Come to the sidelines, make some adjustments,

2236
01:47:33,640 --> 01:47:36,240
Speaker 1: which was which was good for us, you know, to

2237
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:37,880
Speaker 1: be able to kind of stop that and a lot

2238
01:47:37,920 --> 01:47:40,280
Speaker 1: of us. Just when you don't game plan for people

2239
01:47:40,400 --> 01:47:42,280
Speaker 1: and then they do something a little bit different than

2240
01:47:42,320 --> 01:47:46,240
Speaker 1: what you're expecting, you're gonna have some misfits. But obviously

2241
01:47:46,280 --> 01:47:48,080
Speaker 1: we battled back. I thought the second team did a

2242
01:47:48,160 --> 01:47:52,280
Speaker 1: great job and end up winning that game. Tremaine has

2243
01:47:52,280 --> 01:47:55,080
Speaker 1: done a great job, still learning, still growing, trying to

2244
01:47:55,120 --> 01:47:58,519
Speaker 1: get more comfortable just being the leader and making the

2245
01:47:58,600 --> 01:48:00,200
Speaker 1: calls and all the checks and then being to go

2246
01:48:00,320 --> 01:48:02,400
Speaker 1: do his job at a high level. So that's still

2247
01:48:02,439 --> 01:48:04,519
Speaker 1: going to be a growing process. I don't think anybody

2248
01:48:04,520 --> 01:48:06,320
Speaker 1: should panic because the guy is going to be one

2249
01:48:06,360 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 1: of the good ones in this league. It just takes

2250
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:09,880
Speaker 1: a little bit more time when you have all these checks.

2251
01:48:10,400 --> 01:48:12,120
Speaker 1: Then I got to worry about my technique. Oh no,

2252
01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: that guy's out of place. I gotta go tell him

2253
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:15,680
Speaker 1: to get over. And then then I got to worry

2254
01:48:15,680 --> 01:48:17,840
Speaker 1: about what the offense is doing. So that takes a

2255
01:48:17,880 --> 01:48:20,120
Speaker 1: little bit of a learning curve. And he and in

2256
01:48:20,160 --> 01:48:21,479
Speaker 1: college they didn't ask him to do it at all.

2257
01:48:21,520 --> 01:48:24,439
Speaker 1: It's ask him to play week side will be an athlete.

2258
01:48:25,000 --> 01:48:27,280
Speaker 1: Sea ball, get ball, and so but I think he's

2259
01:48:27,320 --> 01:48:32,960
Speaker 1: handled it with a great level professionalism and humility because

2260
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:35,639
Speaker 1: he's grown through this whole process and understands that it's

2261
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:37,400
Speaker 1: going to take a little bit of a time. When

2262
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:40,280
Speaker 1: Kyle went down last Friday in Cleveland that we're way

2263
01:48:40,360 --> 01:48:42,960
Speaker 1: up seriously, radioble, but you seemed affective by that. You

2264
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:45,320
Speaker 1: hated to see him down flantom his back there, Huh yeah,

2265
01:48:45,360 --> 01:48:47,880
Speaker 1: I mean obviously mean you know, being an older guy,

2266
01:48:48,160 --> 01:48:50,080
Speaker 1: I know what this means to Kyle. You know your

2267
01:48:50,160 --> 01:48:52,200
Speaker 1: time is limited. And when you see that, the first

2268
01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:54,240
Speaker 1: thing that goes to your mill, that's that's an acl

2269
01:48:54,439 --> 01:48:58,240
Speaker 1: you know. So thank god it wasn't that um And

2270
01:48:58,360 --> 01:49:00,680
Speaker 1: then my second response was making with the guys and

2271
01:49:00,840 --> 01:49:03,760
Speaker 1: allow that to affect them moving forward, you know. And

2272
01:49:04,120 --> 01:49:06,040
Speaker 1: Kyle is the same way. He doesn't want anybody feeling

2273
01:49:06,080 --> 01:49:09,960
Speaker 1: sorry for him in the situation. But thank god, it's

2274
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:11,680
Speaker 1: something that he'll be able to finish the season with.

2275
01:49:12,720 --> 01:49:14,760
Speaker 1: You know, heal up and whenever he comes back, he

2276
01:49:14,840 --> 01:49:16,439
Speaker 1: comes back. But I think it's also a bussing in

2277
01:49:16,479 --> 01:49:18,360
Speaker 1: disguise to give Harrison and some of the other younger

2278
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:23,040
Speaker 1: dtackles just some more opportunity some more reps, because when

2279
01:49:23,120 --> 01:49:25,360
Speaker 1: Kyle goes out of the game right now, there is

2280
01:49:25,400 --> 01:49:28,320
Speaker 1: a void just because with all that experience that he carries,

2281
01:49:29,160 --> 01:49:32,320
Speaker 1: dialing up games, making some checks, be able to communicate

2282
01:49:32,360 --> 01:49:33,720
Speaker 1: to the coaches and the rest of the guys on

2283
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:37,559
Speaker 1: the sideline, that's something that we miss. And obviously when

2284
01:49:37,600 --> 01:49:39,920
Speaker 1: he goes down, guys like myself, Mica and some other

2285
01:49:39,960 --> 01:49:41,840
Speaker 1: guys have to step up from a leadership role and

2286
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,560
Speaker 1: be able to move vocal as well. How much of

2287
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:48,840
Speaker 1: the routine for the preseason is going to change this week?

2288
01:49:49,120 --> 01:49:51,960
Speaker 1: You obviously get normal Tuesday off, it's a Sunday game.

2289
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:54,760
Speaker 1: You don't really get too many of those turning into

2290
01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:57,200
Speaker 1: a regular routine week. Yeah, and that's actually what it is.

2291
01:49:57,280 --> 01:50:00,479
Speaker 1: It's kind of a dry run at what a regular

2292
01:50:00,600 --> 01:50:02,920
Speaker 1: week would look like, especially for a lot of the rookies.

2293
01:50:03,200 --> 01:50:05,000
Speaker 1: You know, me personally, I'm just trying to dial in

2294
01:50:05,840 --> 01:50:08,559
Speaker 1: what I want my Tuesdays to look like Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

2295
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:11,120
Speaker 1: So when that comes when we're getting ready for Baltimore,

2296
01:50:11,120 --> 01:50:13,000
Speaker 1: you kind of already have it greased up and have

2297
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 1: a good idea, so you just e fishing because it's

2298
01:50:14,920 --> 01:50:16,839
Speaker 1: kind of going through it. Would you change your routine

2299
01:50:16,920 --> 01:50:19,519
Speaker 1: like on a yearly basis, I do. I tweak it

2300
01:50:19,560 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 1: every year, you know, I try to figure out something.

2301
01:50:21,280 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 1: All this makes me feel better. This doesn't even like

2302
01:50:25,680 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 1: you might even saw me working out the other day

2303
01:50:27,479 --> 01:50:30,000
Speaker 1: the day before the game, doing some stuff out in

2304
01:50:30,040 --> 01:50:31,760
Speaker 1: the field house. And that's kind of like some new

2305
01:50:31,840 --> 01:50:33,920
Speaker 1: signs they're talking about as far as it's activating your

2306
01:50:33,920 --> 01:50:37,479
Speaker 1: body the day before. I've been working with Will who's

2307
01:50:37,479 --> 01:50:40,040
Speaker 1: one of our strength coaches, on that and that's something

2308
01:50:40,120 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 1: that I actually like and have added to my pre

2309
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:45,360
Speaker 1: game you know, routine now and that I'll do throughout

2310
01:50:45,400 --> 01:50:48,400
Speaker 1: this entire season. One more leftover, Lorenzo for you from

2311
01:50:48,439 --> 01:50:50,599
Speaker 1: the Cleveland game, and that was the Jarvis Landry hit

2312
01:50:51,080 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 1: on Terren Johnson. You were upset about that, talked about that,

2313
01:50:54,720 --> 01:50:59,120
Speaker 1: I guess here Sunday. Yeah, you know, I thought it

2314
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,599
Speaker 1: was a dirty play. I mean, and he plays physical,

2315
01:51:01,760 --> 01:51:04,160
Speaker 1: he plays like that. I mean obviously the Aaron Williams head,

2316
01:51:04,160 --> 01:51:06,479
Speaker 1: I think all that come pounded up just makes it

2317
01:51:06,600 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 1: like man, and you see Aaron Williams loses his career.

2318
01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,720
Speaker 1: Tarrant hasn't even started his career yet and that could

2319
01:51:11,720 --> 01:51:14,479
Speaker 1: have easily. You just never know. And then it wasn't

2320
01:51:14,520 --> 01:51:17,000
Speaker 1: a penalty. I guess he's considered out of the box.

2321
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,000
Speaker 1: But I know, see I thought he was in the box.

2322
01:51:19,120 --> 01:51:21,800
Speaker 1: But I thought Landry unlike the hit on Aaron, right,

2323
01:51:22,000 --> 01:51:24,280
Speaker 1: he turned his body and hit him with his shoulder.

2324
01:51:24,600 --> 01:51:27,720
Speaker 1: But I and if they're gonna call a penalty, it

2325
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,000
Speaker 1: would have been for him going too high and going

2326
01:51:30,080 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 1: back into the box right now if he's not in

2327
01:51:32,600 --> 01:51:35,160
Speaker 1: the box. Okay, well, I mean the safeties he's down

2328
01:51:35,200 --> 01:51:38,200
Speaker 1: the box right, But yeah, but I didn't think. I

2329
01:51:38,240 --> 01:51:40,200
Speaker 1: didn't think it was dirty, but I did. I mean

2330
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:43,200
Speaker 1: immediately I was like, that's the same guy that got Aaron. Yeah,

2331
01:51:43,240 --> 01:51:45,640
Speaker 1: And I thought and I thought, and I thought, well,

2332
01:51:45,640 --> 01:51:48,439
Speaker 1: I wonder how they coach him up to do that.

2333
01:51:48,560 --> 01:51:50,280
Speaker 1: Do they took coach him up to go down there

2334
01:51:50,320 --> 01:51:53,000
Speaker 1: and clean that guy up like that, or or do

2335
01:51:53,080 --> 01:51:55,280
Speaker 1: you just go in. I mean, for me, I think

2336
01:51:55,280 --> 01:51:57,280
Speaker 1: it's more so if I was to block somebody like

2337
01:51:57,360 --> 01:51:59,719
Speaker 1: that on special teams or whatever, I'm getting you're getting

2338
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:01,320
Speaker 1: a penalt. If I go and hit somebody like that

2339
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:03,360
Speaker 1: and they don't see me, I'm getting I'm getting the

2340
01:52:03,400 --> 01:52:08,599
Speaker 1: pen because I'm a defender. What did you mean? Really? Really?

2341
01:52:08,800 --> 01:52:11,679
Speaker 1: You you don't think that we get called on special teams.

2342
01:52:11,720 --> 01:52:14,280
Speaker 1: I hate that called. I hate that that move by Landry.

2343
01:52:14,360 --> 01:52:17,000
Speaker 1: But you think they'll get called as a penalty if

2344
01:52:17,040 --> 01:52:23,800
Speaker 1: I did it? Y? Yes, Okay, I don't know, right, No,

2345
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:25,920
Speaker 1: I do. He's a little first of all, and he's

2346
01:52:25,960 --> 01:52:28,720
Speaker 1: a little smaller guy, and so he's hitting a guy.

2347
01:52:28,760 --> 01:52:30,479
Speaker 1: But if I come in there and destroying somebody that's

2348
01:52:30,520 --> 01:52:32,960
Speaker 1: smaller like that and it's a good, clean hit, they're

2349
01:52:32,960 --> 01:52:35,519
Speaker 1: gonna they're gonna call it. Here's a question you may

2350
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:38,040
Speaker 1: not like. What about the concept of frontier justice? So

2351
01:52:38,320 --> 01:52:40,400
Speaker 1: now you've got well, he did get penalized for the

2352
01:52:40,439 --> 01:52:42,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Williams hit a couple of years ago. Yeah, but

2353
01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:45,800
Speaker 1: there are other ways to maybe deter him from doing

2354
01:52:45,880 --> 01:52:48,639
Speaker 1: you retalent. Yeah, I'm not about if I can catch

2355
01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 1: him clean within the in the confines, but I'm not

2356
01:52:51,080 --> 01:52:53,479
Speaker 1: gonna go out my way to try to catch somebody

2357
01:52:53,479 --> 01:52:55,280
Speaker 1: and hurt him. That's the way it was for us too.

2358
01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:58,160
Speaker 1: It's always been I don't you never go out there

2359
01:52:58,360 --> 01:53:01,280
Speaker 1: and like go low on it. But if you catch

2360
01:53:01,400 --> 01:53:05,000
Speaker 1: him napping, he defended. If you catch him napping. Let's

2361
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:07,400
Speaker 1: see to me. Yeah, I'm not going to compromise who

2362
01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:09,439
Speaker 1: I am now as a football player to go retaliate

2363
01:53:09,479 --> 01:53:12,080
Speaker 1: it against somebody nap. I catch you, you catch a pass,

2364
01:53:12,120 --> 01:53:14,559
Speaker 1: and I can go and legally blow you up. I'm

2365
01:53:14,560 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna give it to you, but I'm not gonna Oh

2366
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:18,000
Speaker 1: he's not looking, let me go dive at his knees

2367
01:53:18,080 --> 01:53:20,400
Speaker 1: or somebody cutting somebody try to twist his ankle. This

2368
01:53:20,560 --> 01:53:22,439
Speaker 1: is not how how I play the game now. And

2369
01:53:22,560 --> 01:53:24,280
Speaker 1: that's most guys. I mean there. If you if they

2370
01:53:24,360 --> 01:53:26,800
Speaker 1: get a clean shot at you and it's free, they're

2371
01:53:26,840 --> 01:53:30,439
Speaker 1: gonna take it. Right. It's free, doesn't It may be

2372
01:53:30,520 --> 01:53:33,160
Speaker 1: even cheap, but it's not dirty. There's a difference between

2373
01:53:33,280 --> 01:53:36,439
Speaker 1: free and dirty. Yeah, and it maybe that's the distinction.

2374
01:53:36,560 --> 01:53:38,920
Speaker 1: That's the distinction. And even even a cheap if a

2375
01:53:38,960 --> 01:53:40,880
Speaker 1: guy's running down they're looking up at the ball and

2376
01:53:41,040 --> 01:53:43,280
Speaker 1: he's and he's not paying attention, well, he's giving you

2377
01:53:43,320 --> 01:53:45,960
Speaker 1: a free shot. And you can call it cheap if

2378
01:53:45,960 --> 01:53:51,800
Speaker 1: you want. Well, free is cheap, it's inexpensive. Hey, we

2379
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:54,160
Speaker 1: had it's not dirty. That's the difference. We had. Your

2380
01:53:54,200 --> 01:53:56,479
Speaker 1: former teammate that Clint Oldenberg on the show Last Hour.

2381
01:53:56,560 --> 01:53:59,519
Speaker 1: He is a game designer for matt in NFL nineteen

2382
01:54:00,080 --> 01:54:03,599
Speaker 1: um he said, he said, and you had a question

2383
01:54:03,600 --> 01:54:05,720
Speaker 1: about your rating. You're a seventy nine and madness, yeah,

2384
01:54:05,760 --> 01:54:07,200
Speaker 1: I many he could have done done his boy a

2385
01:54:07,240 --> 01:54:09,640
Speaker 1: little bit better than that seventy nine. Man playing the

2386
01:54:09,680 --> 01:54:11,439
Speaker 1: way I'm playing at thirty five, I should at least

2393
01:54:31,120 --> 01:54:32,720
Speaker 1: I mean I don't. I don't understand it. Why why

2394
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:34,640
Speaker 1: shouldn't I be in eighties. I'm looking at some of

2395
01:54:34,720 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 1: these guys and just where I fit in and what

2396
01:54:36,760 --> 01:54:42,720
Speaker 1: I've done. It should be in eighties? Okay? Right yourself?

2397
01:54:42,880 --> 01:54:44,280
Speaker 1: The way you look on the game, no I have

2398
01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,320
Speaker 1: I have I played the game yet? See that you

2399
01:54:46,400 --> 01:54:49,600
Speaker 1: gotta that's also part of the thing. You gotta kind

2400
01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:52,240
Speaker 1: of like like her, dislike too, how you how you

2401
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:54,640
Speaker 1: look yet? I don't know, but but I will say this.

2402
01:54:55,040 --> 01:54:57,160
Speaker 1: One of the guys that works up in the kitchen said, man,

2403
01:54:57,240 --> 01:54:59,880
Speaker 1: you you balling on the game. So I'm making play.

2404
01:55:00,200 --> 01:55:02,760
Speaker 1: So I guess you know, that's all that mattered at

2405
01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:04,520
Speaker 1: the end of the day. Right. They can think about you,

01:56:02,520 --> 01:56:04,560

2422
01:56:04,640 --> 01:56:06,640
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Steve Tasker here in Buffalo. Thank you

2423
01:56:06,680 --> 01:56:09,360
Speaker 1: for joining us. Wow's awesome to be on with you guys.

2424
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:12,280
Speaker 1: Is it overstatement to say the Bills are one of

2425
01:56:12,280 --> 01:56:15,040
Speaker 1: the most interesting teams in preseason this year because of

2426
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:18,160
Speaker 1: their quarterback situation. I think their quarterbacks room right now

2427
01:56:18,240 --> 01:56:20,240
Speaker 1: might be the most intriguing in the league, if not

2428
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:22,640
Speaker 1: the Jets. It's one of those two. And you know

2429
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:25,120
Speaker 1: the McCarron roller coaster we just went through over the

2430
01:56:25,280 --> 01:56:27,400
Speaker 1: last forty eight hours from thinking that this guy might

2431
01:56:27,480 --> 01:56:29,600
Speaker 1: be out six day, eight weeks and saying, hey, maybe

2432
01:56:29,640 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 1: that's not the medical prognosis that was originally reported, but

2433
01:56:32,720 --> 01:56:35,240
Speaker 1: thinking maybe he's gonna be back to her than rather

2434
01:56:35,280 --> 01:56:38,800
Speaker 1: than later. So it's interesting. It certainly is something that

2435
01:56:38,880 --> 01:56:40,800
Speaker 1: I think a Bills fan is keeping in a close

2436
01:56:40,840 --> 01:56:43,200
Speaker 1: eye on. But you have to be encouraged with the

2437
01:56:43,280 --> 01:56:47,480
Speaker 1: way both Peterman and Alan f play at this summer. Yeah, Peter,

2438
01:56:47,680 --> 01:56:49,720
Speaker 1: just talk a little bit about do you think that

2439
01:56:50,760 --> 01:56:53,320
Speaker 1: just just next it's just Josh Allen's turn to start

2440
01:56:53,360 --> 01:56:55,960
Speaker 1: a game. I mean they started Nathan Peterman, then they

2441
01:56:56,000 --> 01:57:00,440
Speaker 1: started AJ now they're starting Josh Allen. Do you think

2442
01:57:00,480 --> 01:57:01,960
Speaker 1: that's just part of the rotation or do you think

2443
01:57:02,040 --> 01:57:04,680
Speaker 1: this is a result of the way they've played. I

2444
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:06,760
Speaker 1: think it's I think a combination of both. Steve, I

2445
01:57:06,800 --> 01:57:08,200
Speaker 1: think it's one of those deals where you want to

2446
01:57:08,200 --> 01:57:09,560
Speaker 1: see him with the ones. You want to see Hi

2447
01:57:09,560 --> 01:57:11,680
Speaker 1: an extended period. And if we're really going to hand

2448
01:57:11,720 --> 01:57:13,960
Speaker 1: the keys to a rookie, let's see how he handles

2449
01:57:14,640 --> 01:57:16,880
Speaker 1: first team reps in an actual game with the bright lights.

2450
01:57:16,920 --> 01:57:18,720
Speaker 1: And you know, we've heard it a million times since

2451
01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:20,840
Speaker 1: when you were playing. It's a dress rehearsal game what

2452
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:23,080
Speaker 1: it is. So I think it's let's do what we got.

2453
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,200
Speaker 1: I think they know what they've got with Peterman. And

2454
01:57:25,680 --> 01:57:27,840
Speaker 1: I wouldn't count out Nathan Peterman. I know he's well

2455
01:57:27,920 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: liked around the building and they might not be nationally

2456
01:57:31,240 --> 01:57:33,880
Speaker 1: considered more than a punchline for his performance last year.

2457
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:35,840
Speaker 1: So that guy could sling the ball. You guys see

2458
01:57:35,840 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 1: it every day. That guy could play. So I think

2459
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:41,120
Speaker 1: there is a better quarterback situation in Buffalo than maybe

2460
01:57:41,160 --> 01:57:43,840
Speaker 1: others think outside the league, and Peter, you have done

2461
01:57:44,040 --> 01:57:47,480
Speaker 1: rankings of the rookie quarterbacks. Power Ranking the rookie quarterbacks.

2462
01:57:47,560 --> 01:57:50,160
Speaker 1: Two weeks into preseason. Where do you put Josh Allen?

2463
01:57:50,200 --> 01:57:52,480
Speaker 1: And how do you have these guys stacked up? Yeah?

2464
01:57:52,480 --> 01:57:54,440
Speaker 1: I put the number one. I know everyone was doing

2465
01:57:54,520 --> 01:57:57,680
Speaker 1: flips over Baker Mayfield. I saw Baker Mayfield played very well,

2466
01:57:57,760 --> 01:58:00,480
Speaker 1: making smart decisions with a bunch of number two against

2467
01:58:00,560 --> 01:58:03,080
Speaker 1: number two defense. You know, Sam Darnold when the bright

2468
01:58:03,440 --> 01:58:05,800
Speaker 1: bright lights came on Money Night Football last Thursday, was

2469
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:08,080
Speaker 1: went in and Tessa Tour and everyone watching on the

2470
01:58:08,160 --> 01:58:10,480
Speaker 1: national stage. He didn't play as well as he did

2471
01:58:10,520 --> 01:58:12,960
Speaker 1: the first game. Josh Allen stepped up when he was

2472
01:58:13,000 --> 01:58:16,160
Speaker 1: thrown in there last week, similar situation Friday night. Everyone

2473
01:58:16,160 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL network was able to watch it as

2474
01:58:17,680 --> 01:58:20,800
Speaker 1: a nationally televised game. Josh Allen looked great and I

2475
01:58:20,880 --> 01:58:23,560
Speaker 1: think although he made that weird fumble play and was

2476
01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:25,280
Speaker 1: put the ball over his head in the first game,

2477
01:58:25,440 --> 01:58:28,000
Speaker 1: he also had a few ropes and a great scramble.

2478
01:58:28,360 --> 01:58:30,040
Speaker 1: If you're just saying two weeks in, I don't know

2479
01:58:30,080 --> 01:58:32,720
Speaker 1: if there's a quarterback who's played better and made better

2480
01:58:32,760 --> 01:58:35,480
Speaker 1: passes and maybe been a better decision makers. Then Josh

2481
01:58:35,560 --> 01:58:37,400
Speaker 1: Allen and the fact that he was thrown into the

2482
01:58:37,480 --> 01:58:40,240
Speaker 1: fire like he was after the mccaren injury, and I

2483
01:58:40,280 --> 01:58:42,800
Speaker 1: thought he played really well week two. So we'll see

2484
01:58:42,800 --> 01:58:45,080
Speaker 1: week three. But you know, I had to rank the five,

2485
01:58:45,280 --> 01:58:47,600
Speaker 1: and people were going nuts on Twitter that I put

2486
01:58:47,680 --> 01:58:50,160
Speaker 1: him over Baker mayfid how I'd like to see Mayfield

2487
01:58:50,240 --> 01:58:51,920
Speaker 1: go up against the number one defense. I'd like to

2488
01:58:51,960 --> 01:58:54,480
Speaker 1: see Mayfield make a couple of plays with his number

2489
01:58:54,480 --> 01:58:56,040
Speaker 1: one starting line. I'd like to see Mayfield do it

2490
01:58:56,040 --> 01:58:58,720
Speaker 1: against adversity. And it's the preseason, but I think Josh

2491
01:58:58,760 --> 01:59:00,520
Speaker 1: Allen was the best of all you look at when

2492
01:59:00,520 --> 01:59:02,400
Speaker 1: you look at all these rookie quarterbacks that were drafted

2493
01:59:02,440 --> 01:59:04,560
Speaker 1: this last year, which one do you think is most

2494
01:59:04,640 --> 01:59:06,840
Speaker 1: likely to play first? Is it gonna be Sam Darnald

2495
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:09,200
Speaker 1: because of the situation at quarterback into Jets. Do you

2496
01:59:09,280 --> 01:59:12,480
Speaker 1: think he's the one that's gonna get the first chance

2497
01:59:12,520 --> 01:59:15,080
Speaker 1: to take snaps in a real game. Yeah, I think

2498
01:59:15,240 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 1: Arnold has the inside track there right now. That's what

2499
01:59:18,480 --> 01:59:21,120
Speaker 1: I would say. But Bridgewater has looked really good in mccounts.

2500
01:59:21,480 --> 01:59:23,520
Speaker 1: Was the guy that I thought all along would be

2501
01:59:23,600 --> 01:59:25,720
Speaker 1: the starter. I don't necessarily think it's gonna be his

2502
01:59:25,840 --> 01:59:28,320
Speaker 1: job week one. I think Josh Allen might be the

2503
01:59:28,360 --> 01:59:30,720
Speaker 1: guy with the inside track of the five start week one.

2504
01:59:30,800 --> 01:59:33,320
Speaker 1: Josh Rosen will not as long as Bradford selfy Radford's

2505
01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 1: most underrated story of preseasons and Sam Bradford looked amazing

2506
01:59:37,000 --> 01:59:39,080
Speaker 1: and you know we've seen that before. But he's not

2507
01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:41,880
Speaker 1: gonna lose that job, and obviously Slacko is not gonna

2508
01:59:41,920 --> 01:59:45,440
Speaker 1: lose his. I do believe though, that it's gonna be

2509
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:48,320
Speaker 1: a Darnold or Josh Allen starting week one. I think

2510
01:59:48,320 --> 01:59:50,360
Speaker 1: one of those two guys will on the line With

2511
01:59:50,440 --> 01:59:52,879
Speaker 1: Peter Schrager, the host co host of Good Morning Football

2512
01:59:52,880 --> 01:59:55,800
Speaker 1: on NFL Network, talking about NFL matters, I like, you

2513
01:59:56,320 --> 01:59:59,360
Speaker 1: have a countdown going out of the most intriguing players,

2514
01:59:59,440 --> 02:00:03,280
Speaker 1: most in people in the upcoming twenty eighteen NFL season.

2515
02:00:03,480 --> 02:00:05,600
Speaker 1: How's that countdown going? How many left? How many spots

2516
02:00:05,680 --> 02:00:08,800
Speaker 1: left open? There? Peter, Well, they proposed that and I said, okay,

2517
02:00:08,880 --> 02:00:10,840
Speaker 1: let's go fifteen to one. We'll do one every day.

2518
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:14,160
Speaker 1: And the response has been phenomenal and a lot of

2519
02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:16,640
Speaker 1: people have different thoughts than I do. I kind of,

2520
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:20,720
Speaker 1: you know, everyone from Al Riverons on my list, Patrick Mahomes.

2521
02:00:20,800 --> 02:00:23,160
Speaker 1: But we're down to the final three right now, and

2522
02:00:23,200 --> 02:00:26,080
Speaker 1: I'll give you guys just a page ten through ten

2523
02:00:26,160 --> 02:00:29,480
Speaker 1: through four right now. I said, you know, I think Rogers,

2524
02:00:29,560 --> 02:00:32,440
Speaker 1: Garoppolo McVeigh. These are the kind of names John Gruden

2525
02:00:32,520 --> 02:00:34,800
Speaker 1: I thought his fascinating this year. But we're down to

2526
02:00:34,880 --> 02:00:36,760
Speaker 1: the final three. I'm not going to reveal it yet.

2527
02:00:36,800 --> 02:00:39,800
Speaker 1: Today was for I said, Dak Prescott's the fourth most

2528
02:00:39,840 --> 02:00:43,440
Speaker 1: interesting person. His contract is up the year after this.

2529
02:00:43,600 --> 02:00:45,680
Speaker 1: They can obviously negotiate him with it after the season,

2530
02:00:45,760 --> 02:00:48,320
Speaker 1: and I think he's a crux. The very important part

2531
02:00:48,360 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 1: of his career took a step back in year two,

2532
02:00:51,000 --> 02:00:52,640
Speaker 1: and I think all the Cowboys nations looking at it.

2533
02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:54,240
Speaker 1: But I would ask you, guys, who do you think

2534
02:00:54,280 --> 02:00:57,520
Speaker 1: are the three most intriguing people going into twenty eighteen?

2535
02:00:57,840 --> 02:00:59,520
Speaker 1: This NFL season? Had to put you on the spot,

2536
02:00:59,560 --> 02:01:01,600
Speaker 1: Steve to vote for Bob Kraft and an owner of

2537
02:01:01,600 --> 02:01:07,600
Speaker 1: the Patriots, Bob Craft earlier he's an honorable mention here. Yeah, yeah,

2538
02:01:07,640 --> 02:01:10,200
Speaker 1: that perfect. Well, that's a tough one. We get sold

2539
02:01:10,280 --> 02:01:13,040
Speaker 1: laser focused on Bill stuff. But yeah, I like what

2540
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:16,000
Speaker 1: you're saying about Dak Prescott. I don't know, I'd say,

2541
02:01:16,120 --> 02:01:18,920
Speaker 1: I'd say Andrew Luck maybe, yeah, Okay, I'm back it

2542
02:01:19,000 --> 02:01:20,840
Speaker 1: on the lift, but he's not there. I'll give you,

2543
02:01:21,280 --> 02:01:24,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you a hint here. It's two quarterbacks and

2544
02:01:24,960 --> 02:01:26,680
Speaker 1: it's a wide receiver and we'll leave it at that.

2545
02:01:26,880 --> 02:01:29,680
Speaker 1: But one quarterbacks coming off a serious injury. His name

2546
02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:32,200
Speaker 1: is not Luck and it's not Watson. And the other

2547
02:01:32,320 --> 02:01:34,240
Speaker 1: quarterback might be the greatest of all time, depends on

2548
02:01:34,360 --> 02:01:38,280
Speaker 1: the gas, right, we'll watch for that, Tom so Tom

2549
02:01:38,360 --> 02:01:40,800
Speaker 1: Brady here, and it's not it's not Aaron Rodgers already

2550
02:01:40,800 --> 02:01:43,560
Speaker 1: said you had Aaron Rodgers, correct, Yeah, yeah, And that's

2551
02:01:43,600 --> 02:01:46,120
Speaker 1: the thing. And Brady to me, is fascinating this year.

2552
02:01:46,400 --> 02:01:48,560
Speaker 1: I think it's one of these deals where he spent

2553
02:01:48,680 --> 02:01:51,680
Speaker 1: the off season and cut her on a camel and

2554
02:01:51,800 --> 02:01:54,160
Speaker 1: he was, you know, he missed voluntary mini camp for

2555
02:01:54,240 --> 02:01:56,600
Speaker 1: the first time ever, and he started talking about life

2556
02:01:56,640 --> 02:01:59,320
Speaker 1: after football. He got the stuff going on with Alex

2557
02:02:00,000 --> 02:02:02,200
Speaker 1: personal trainer, and I don't know, it just feels like

2558
02:02:02,240 --> 02:02:04,320
Speaker 1: they did not help him out this offseason when they

2559
02:02:04,360 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: took his left tackle and his starting wide receiver and

2560
02:02:07,640 --> 02:02:09,400
Speaker 1: aim and Doola and of course he is running back

2561
02:02:09,400 --> 02:02:11,240
Speaker 1: and Bean Lewis, and they didn't offer those guys the

2562
02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: same money other places that. I think Brady has got

2563
02:02:13,600 --> 02:02:16,120
Speaker 1: a very interesting twenty eighteen ahead. And I think if

2564
02:02:16,200 --> 02:02:18,280
Speaker 1: ever there was a time and I know you guys

2565
02:02:18,320 --> 02:02:20,320
Speaker 1: have heard this the twenty straight years, but whatever, there

2566
02:02:20,440 --> 02:02:22,880
Speaker 1: was a time for a team in that division to pounce.

2567
02:02:22,920 --> 02:02:25,960
Speaker 1: This is a year. Yeah, I hope the Bills are capable.

2568
02:02:26,120 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 1: I know you like Pat Mahomes a lot, You consider

2569
02:02:28,760 --> 02:02:31,880
Speaker 1: him intriguing, interesting, and you loved his deep pass the

2570
02:02:31,960 --> 02:02:34,440
Speaker 1: other night. Why why where'd you get this infatuation with

2571
02:02:34,520 --> 02:02:36,920
Speaker 1: Patrick Mahomes or the Chiefs, Peter. It's the same thing.

2572
02:02:37,160 --> 02:02:39,080
Speaker 1: It's the same thing when I saw Josh Allen throwing

2573
02:02:39,120 --> 02:02:42,160
Speaker 1: on one leg in the college games, when he did

2574
02:02:42,200 --> 02:02:44,080
Speaker 1: that pass that we saw forty times during the free

2575
02:02:44,160 --> 02:02:47,120
Speaker 1: draft process into the end zone. I love the deep ball.

2576
02:02:47,200 --> 02:02:49,640
Speaker 1: I'm a sucker for it. I really love a guy

2577
02:02:49,680 --> 02:02:51,320
Speaker 1: who can throw. I feel like Andy Read to be

2578
02:02:51,440 --> 02:02:54,520
Speaker 1: perfect head coach for a young quarterback. And I feel

2579
02:02:54,560 --> 02:02:56,680
Speaker 1: like the Chiefs are primed and ready with all the

2580
02:02:57,360 --> 02:02:59,800
Speaker 1: great offensive weapons they have, and Mahomes, to me, is

2581
02:03:00,000 --> 02:03:02,440
Speaker 1: one of these great storylines where you don't talk about

2582
02:03:02,480 --> 02:03:04,960
Speaker 1: it nationally enough we think about this. They did not

2583
02:03:05,600 --> 02:03:08,480
Speaker 1: lose Alex Smith to some free agency situation. They actively

2584
02:03:08,560 --> 02:03:11,040
Speaker 1: traded away a guy who went to the playoffs four

2585
02:03:11,120 --> 02:03:13,880
Speaker 1: to five years. It was the third most efficient quarterback

2586
02:03:13,920 --> 02:03:15,880
Speaker 1: in the league last year because they thought they had

2587
02:03:15,920 --> 02:03:18,640
Speaker 1: someone better in house. That's a crazy thing. That's a

2588
02:03:18,720 --> 02:03:20,960
Speaker 1: really big decision, and I think Mahomes is up to

2589
02:03:21,000 --> 02:03:22,680
Speaker 1: the challenge. I'm excited for him. I think the NFL

2590
02:03:22,840 --> 02:03:26,560
Speaker 1: needs more stars, they need more faces, and especially in

2591
02:03:26,600 --> 02:03:28,800
Speaker 1: the AFC when you're looking around the league and it

2592
02:03:28,920 --> 02:03:30,600
Speaker 1: was Brady and Manning for so long, who's going to

2593
02:03:30,640 --> 02:03:33,360
Speaker 1: be the next crop? I think Mahomes is a good guy,

2594
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:34,880
Speaker 1: and I think he's a great guy to carry that

2595
02:03:34,960 --> 02:03:36,640
Speaker 1: torch and Peter. One of the other things you do

2596
02:03:36,800 --> 02:03:39,360
Speaker 1: is the preseason games for the La Rams and they've

2597
02:03:39,440 --> 02:03:42,560
Speaker 1: got maybe the best defensive player in the land who

2598
02:03:43,000 --> 02:03:44,920
Speaker 1: is not on their team at the moment. What do

2599
02:03:44,960 --> 02:03:46,880
Speaker 1: you think's going to happen with Aaron Donald And how's

2600
02:03:46,920 --> 02:03:49,400
Speaker 1: it going to affect Sean McVay and their ability to

2601
02:03:49,440 --> 02:03:53,839
Speaker 1: get to the playoffs. They're optimistic. I spoke with Kevin Demoff,

2602
02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:57,520
Speaker 1: the team's president, last week and he said, we're talking.

2603
02:03:57,760 --> 02:04:01,520
Speaker 1: And McVay has spoken with Donald, the Rams PR team.

2604
02:04:01,520 --> 02:04:03,600
Speaker 1: Whether you think this is like the early your eyes

2605
02:04:03,720 --> 02:04:05,640
Speaker 1: or not, but they went out to Pittsburgh and filmed

2606
02:04:05,680 --> 02:04:08,879
Speaker 1: the feature offseason with Aaron Donald while he trained in Pittsburgh.

2607
02:04:08,920 --> 02:04:11,760
Speaker 1: So like if this was some you know, cold war

2608
02:04:11,880 --> 02:04:14,240
Speaker 1: or some situation where these two teams can the two

2609
02:04:14,240 --> 02:04:16,360
Speaker 1: sides couldn't even come to a term. They would not

2610
02:04:16,440 --> 02:04:18,600
Speaker 1: be opening their doors to the team PR staff to

2611
02:04:18,680 --> 02:04:21,560
Speaker 1: be doing features on them and for the team website.

2612
02:04:21,920 --> 02:04:24,040
Speaker 1: They believe that they can get a deal done. They're

2613
02:04:24,040 --> 02:04:26,960
Speaker 1: hoping they can, but as you know, these things can

2614
02:04:27,000 --> 02:04:29,240
Speaker 1: get ugly in the press. Their hope is that before

2615
02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: a week one, Aaron Donald in a Ram's uniform, Peter.

2616
02:04:32,080 --> 02:04:35,120
Speaker 1: The expectations are high, sky high, really for the Los

2617
02:04:35,160 --> 02:04:37,840
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. Are they up to that? Can they produced?

2618
02:04:37,840 --> 02:04:40,160
Speaker 1: Do you think when everybody's watching them now, we'll see

2619
02:04:40,200 --> 02:04:42,800
Speaker 1: They hope so. And this is the thing mcavey, I've

2620
02:04:43,120 --> 02:04:47,200
Speaker 1: grown awfully. I guess you'd say not friendly, but we've

2621
02:04:47,240 --> 02:04:49,640
Speaker 1: had a good working relationship over the past few months

2622
02:04:49,680 --> 02:04:52,560
Speaker 1: because I'm doing these preseason games and mcvass. Whole thing

2623
02:04:52,680 --> 02:04:54,440
Speaker 1: is what might not have worked for some of these

2624
02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:57,280
Speaker 1: guys elsewhere. Just trust me, I know how to coach

2625
02:04:57,360 --> 02:04:59,080
Speaker 1: these guys, and I know my locker room. And that

2626
02:04:59,200 --> 02:05:01,440
Speaker 1: might sound like hoop a sun, might sound a little arrogant.

2627
02:05:01,800 --> 02:05:04,120
Speaker 1: The truth is he thinks he can handle Marcus Peters

2628
02:05:04,200 --> 02:05:05,840
Speaker 1: and in a keep to leave and and Dominican sue,

2629
02:05:06,120 --> 02:05:08,200
Speaker 1: where other head coaches and other locker rooms maybe didn't.

2630
02:05:08,440 --> 02:05:10,440
Speaker 1: They're very confident that if all those guys are on

2631
02:05:10,480 --> 02:05:12,000
Speaker 1: the field, they're going to be as good as anybody

2632
02:05:12,200 --> 02:05:14,120
Speaker 1: not a talent out there. One more thing before we

2633
02:05:14,240 --> 02:05:16,080
Speaker 1: let you go, remember we had you on the show.

2634
02:05:16,200 --> 02:05:18,160
Speaker 1: Might have been your last appearance on the show a

2635
02:05:18,240 --> 02:05:20,520
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when the morning show was a

2636
02:05:20,680 --> 02:05:23,520
Speaker 1: good morning Football was just getting launched. I believe what

2637
02:05:23,680 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 1: a success that's been. We want you know, it's on

2638
02:05:25,880 --> 02:05:27,720
Speaker 1: our TV every day and we come into work in

2639
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:30,400
Speaker 1: the morning. You gotta feel pretty good about that show's direction,

2640
02:05:30,480 --> 02:05:32,640
Speaker 1: where you're headed and the way you guys have sort

2641
02:05:32,680 --> 02:05:35,640
Speaker 1: of captivated the NFL audience. It's a it's a really

2642
02:05:35,720 --> 02:05:38,800
Speaker 1: cool deal. And don't get any twists. Let's not get

2643
02:05:38,840 --> 02:05:41,280
Speaker 1: a twist. And this isn't Seinfeld or Friends or not

2644
02:05:41,360 --> 02:05:44,120
Speaker 1: breaking any record trading wise, but I love Lucy or

2645
02:05:44,120 --> 02:05:45,880
Speaker 1: anything like that. It's not I love Lucy. It's not

2646
02:05:45,920 --> 02:05:48,560
Speaker 1: the final mash. But I'll tell you we uh, we

2647
02:05:48,720 --> 02:05:50,960
Speaker 1: really enjoy coming to work. We do the show. It's

2648
02:05:51,000 --> 02:05:53,080
Speaker 1: exhausting because it's every day and it's three hours every

2649
02:05:53,160 --> 02:05:55,840
Speaker 1: day at at crazy hours. But people seem to like it.

2650
02:05:55,920 --> 02:05:58,600
Speaker 1: And you made a great point. It's it's not so

2651
02:05:58,760 --> 02:06:01,120
Speaker 1: much the guy on the street in New York City,

2652
02:06:01,240 --> 02:06:04,160
Speaker 1: or it's not so much you know, the person in LA.

2653
02:06:04,320 --> 02:06:07,000
Speaker 1: It's people within the NFL. It's on in the facilities

2654
02:06:07,360 --> 02:06:09,680
Speaker 1: and for us to hear feedback from teams and people

2655
02:06:09,680 --> 02:06:12,720
Speaker 1: who work at teams and different buildings around the league saying, hey,

2656
02:06:12,960 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 1: that's a good product, it's not an embarrassing product, and

2657
02:06:15,120 --> 02:06:17,080
Speaker 1: you guys actually sounding form that, it goes a long way.

2658
02:06:17,120 --> 02:06:18,840
Speaker 1: I think if you're looking to start your day with

2659
02:06:18,960 --> 02:06:21,200
Speaker 1: just football and not all the stuff outside of football,

2660
02:06:21,440 --> 02:06:23,080
Speaker 1: and you're looking to start your day with actual we'll

Speaker 1: than our show. Yeah, we got him out every day.

2679

Speaker 1: imagine what it's like for those guys. Well, I mean,

2680
02:07:11,600 --> 02:07:14,640
Speaker 1: they get thirty we're kind of Bill centric here obviously,

2681
02:07:15,320 --> 02:07:17,760
Speaker 1: but and they've got thirty two. They can kind of

2682
02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:19,880
Speaker 1: pluck from around the league when you get into April

2683
02:07:19,920 --> 02:07:22,120
Speaker 1: and May. But man, oh man, I feel for him

2699
02:08:19,400 --> 02:08:22,280
Speaker 1: they were all pretty good guests, including Brady Quinn, quarterback,

02:08:22,520 --> 02:08:24,840
Speaker 1: former first round pick of the Browns, now doing work

2702
02:08:28,120 --> 02:08:30,440
Speaker 1: Brady Quinn says Josh Allen of the Bills is the

2703
02:08:30,520 --> 02:08:35,560
Speaker 1: most impressive rookie quarterback so far this preseason. I think

2704
02:08:35,600 --> 02:08:37,600
Speaker 1: he's got all the tools the ability to be one

2705
02:08:37,600 --> 02:08:40,880
Speaker 1: of the best in the league, maybe ever, but he's

2706
02:08:40,920 --> 02:08:42,640
Speaker 1: got to continually hone in on the skills. I think

2707
02:08:42,640 --> 02:08:45,360
Speaker 1: the other thing you're looking for is a gritter stample size.

2708
02:08:45,560 --> 02:08:47,720
Speaker 1: You know, right now, he can look great in a vacuum,

2709
02:08:48,120 --> 02:08:50,000
Speaker 1: but we need to see Moore reps. We need to

2710
02:08:50,040 --> 02:08:53,320
Speaker 1: Stamplin defenses are actually preparing for him and not just

2711
02:08:53,440 --> 02:08:55,080
Speaker 1: worried about the guys on other side of the football,

2712
02:08:55,080 --> 02:08:57,280
Speaker 1: because that's the preseous gage. Know what's the game planning

2713
02:08:57,280 --> 02:08:59,560
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. Yet they will be if you start

2714
02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:02,360
Speaker 1: a week one. Rady Quinn was some interesting class. We

2715
02:09:02,440 --> 02:09:05,120
Speaker 1: also had Clint oldenbergne long time while five years as

2716
02:09:05,120 --> 02:09:08,560
Speaker 1: an NFL offensive lineman and now he's a game designer

2717
02:09:08,640 --> 02:09:12,040
Speaker 1: for EA Sports mad in NFL nineteen. He's the game

2718
02:09:12,080 --> 02:09:14,480
Speaker 1: designer for that. He talked to us about the changes

2719
02:09:14,720 --> 02:09:19,120
Speaker 1: in Madden nineteen compared to last year's game. What we

2720
02:09:19,280 --> 02:09:21,000
Speaker 1: really set out to do this year is give our

2721
02:09:21,040 --> 02:09:23,440
Speaker 1: players more control. We want a player control across the

2722
02:09:23,520 --> 02:09:25,720
Speaker 1: field and across all of our modes. So just to

2723
02:09:25,840 --> 02:09:28,800
Speaker 1: give you a quick rundown in gameplay. Specifically, we introduced

2724
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:32,320
Speaker 1: a new feature called Real Player Motion that completely redesigns

2725
02:09:32,320 --> 02:09:34,880
Speaker 1: how our players move and interact with each other. We

2726
02:09:35,040 --> 02:09:37,520
Speaker 1: also gave some new ways to build your roster and

2727
02:09:37,600 --> 02:09:41,520
Speaker 1: our roster building modes MAD and Ultimate Team Enfranchise. Players

2728
02:09:41,560 --> 02:09:44,160
Speaker 1: are really excited about our Draft Class editor that we

2729
02:09:44,280 --> 02:09:47,400
Speaker 1: added this year. And then in Long Shot, we added

2730
02:09:47,480 --> 02:09:50,080
Speaker 1: more NFL gameplay, which was the thing that our fans

2731
02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:53,080
Speaker 1: told us they wanted most of all. In the second

2732
02:09:53,120 --> 02:09:56,160
Speaker 1: installment of our Long Shot mode, Men in NFL nineteen

2733
02:09:56,160 --> 02:09:57,920
Speaker 1: available now. It's been now for a couple of weeks.

2734
02:09:58,240 --> 02:10:02,480
Speaker 1: Our discussion today pretty much every day focused on Bill's quarterbacks.

2735
02:10:02,520 --> 02:10:06,000
Speaker 1: And now that we know that Game three of the preseason,

2736
02:10:06,080 --> 02:10:08,280
Speaker 1: they're gonna put Josh Allen in there the rookie to start.

2737
02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:11,360
Speaker 1: I want to ask the question, all three quarterbacks have

2738
02:10:11,440 --> 02:10:13,200
Speaker 1: a chance to start a preseason game, So who do

2739
02:10:13,280 --> 02:10:15,440
Speaker 1: you predict? Now, who are you hoping for? But who

2740
02:10:15,480 --> 02:10:17,560
Speaker 1: do you predict will be the bill starting quarterback when

2741
02:10:17,600 --> 02:10:21,800
Speaker 1: they opened the season against Baltimore on September ninth. It's

2742
02:10:21,840 --> 02:10:24,160
Speaker 1: been pretty consistent all day. Fifty eight percent of you

2743
02:10:24,360 --> 02:10:27,200
Speaker 1: say you predict it will be Josh Allen. Now, thirty

2744
02:10:27,240 --> 02:10:28,920
Speaker 1: eight percent of you say you predict it will be

2745
02:10:29,040 --> 02:10:31,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman to start the opener. Just four percent say

2746
02:10:31,880 --> 02:10:35,000
Speaker 1: you predict it'll be a J. McCarron. I'm just surprised.

2747
02:10:35,240 --> 02:10:37,480
Speaker 1: A week ago, I bet mccarroen would have won this poll.

2748
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: I haven't look he's going to be healthy. I think

2749
02:10:40,600 --> 02:10:42,800
Speaker 1: maybe we'll find out more about to be healthy tomorrow.

2750
02:10:42,880 --> 02:10:45,120
Speaker 1: For all we know. I mean this is a day

2751
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:49,080
Speaker 1: to day. Yeah, he's probably gonna try and get a

2752
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:52,040
Speaker 1: couple of calls on this issue. Emmanuel from Hawaii, Emanuel,

2753
02:10:52,080 --> 02:10:55,040
Speaker 1: go ahead, we're on the air. Hey, First, I want

2754
02:10:55,080 --> 02:10:57,360
Speaker 1: to say stude you all. You are Hall of Famer

2755
02:10:57,640 --> 02:10:59,840
Speaker 1: and book and I think we should get in out

2756
02:10:59,880 --> 02:11:02,160
Speaker 1: of hope to get too old before they put you in.

2757
02:11:02,320 --> 02:11:04,920
Speaker 1: I think is un eventually open. Even Steve reaches for

2758
02:11:05,000 --> 02:11:07,280
Speaker 1: the drinking. There go thirty five Hall of Fame fan

2759
02:11:07,360 --> 02:11:11,720
Speaker 1: vot for Steve. Go ahead and Manuel second, I predict

2760
02:11:11,960 --> 02:11:14,520
Speaker 1: it will be Josh Allen. I feel that I really

2761
02:11:14,680 --> 02:11:17,200
Speaker 1: think like they just need to let the kids just

2762
02:11:17,320 --> 02:11:20,840
Speaker 1: get a chance to learn the game. I think it

2763
02:11:21,160 --> 02:11:23,680
Speaker 1: like y'all had a little argument yesterday and I was

2764
02:11:23,760 --> 02:11:27,320
Speaker 1: a claiming with Steve in the fact that uh nobody's

2765
02:11:27,320 --> 02:11:31,920
Speaker 1: out played Nathan Peterman. Um, Josh Allen was more entertaining

2766
02:11:31,960 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 1: and fat but um, you know, and and that's and

2767
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:37,440
Speaker 1: that's smart prediction. I think. Also, I just wanted to

2768
02:11:37,480 --> 02:11:40,640
Speaker 1: say things that's been on my mind real quick. Um,

2769
02:11:40,720 --> 02:11:45,920
Speaker 1: I hope that uh Sean McDermott and Brandon being hard judge,

2770
02:11:46,600 --> 02:11:50,720
Speaker 1: uh nutchely exclusive, you know, because a coach can only

2771
02:11:50,800 --> 02:11:52,680
Speaker 1: be as good as the talent that you put on

2772
02:11:52,760 --> 02:11:55,840
Speaker 1: the field. Um, And I don't from what I see,

2773
02:11:55,880 --> 02:11:59,360
Speaker 1: we're just losing talent, not gaining it. If John Shallen

2774
02:11:59,480 --> 02:12:02,280
Speaker 1: turns out, we might be boat champions of five years.

2775
02:12:02,400 --> 02:12:04,920
Speaker 1: But if he doesn't with all the trees in order

2776
02:12:04,960 --> 02:12:08,120
Speaker 1: to get him, you know, I hope they don't Brandon

2777
02:12:08,440 --> 02:12:11,840
Speaker 1: Sean mcdonmot doesn't sell her to repercussions of lack of talent.

2778
02:12:12,400 --> 02:12:15,040
Speaker 1: It's interesting, that's Emmanuel. But some of the things that

2779
02:12:15,400 --> 02:12:17,360
Speaker 1: the talent that they have brought in I don't think

2780
02:12:17,400 --> 02:12:20,160
Speaker 1: we've even gotten a chance to appreciate yet. Obviously Sean

2781
02:12:20,560 --> 02:12:25,160
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, but also Tremaine at Edmonds talent, they haven't

2782
02:12:25,200 --> 02:12:28,040
Speaker 1: brought it. And also they did bring in Micah Hie,

2783
02:12:28,160 --> 02:12:31,480
Speaker 1: Jordan Poyerdavious White. Those guys brought They brought in that

2784
02:12:31,560 --> 02:12:33,800
Speaker 1: talent that was pretty good talent on the offense. On

2785
02:12:33,840 --> 02:12:35,880
Speaker 1: the defensive side is too in the front. You haven't

2786
02:12:35,880 --> 02:12:37,840
Speaker 1: seen Trent Murphy yet. I haven't got a chance to

2787
02:12:37,880 --> 02:12:40,720
Speaker 1: evaluate him. Starloto Lele has played very limited so far.

2788
02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:42,680
Speaker 1: So a lot of the talent that they've brought in

2789
02:12:42,800 --> 02:12:44,280
Speaker 1: that they think is going to get them to that

2790
02:12:44,440 --> 02:12:46,600
Speaker 1: next level we haven't even had a chance to appreciate

2791
02:12:46,760 --> 02:12:49,720
Speaker 1: yet and really hasn't been unfurled in a game type situation.

2792
02:12:49,840 --> 02:12:53,160
Speaker 1: So my advice for that would be to stay patient,

2793
02:12:53,600 --> 02:12:55,560
Speaker 1: give this group that they've got in the building now

2794
02:12:55,720 --> 02:12:59,040
Speaker 1: a chance to just see its full potential, and then

2795
02:12:59,160 --> 02:13:02,600
Speaker 1: make your make your a decision on whether they don't

2796
02:13:02,640 --> 02:13:04,320
Speaker 1: have the talent or have not brought in in town,

2797
02:13:04,440 --> 02:13:06,440
Speaker 1: or replace the talent they let go. Got time for

2798
02:13:06,640 --> 02:13:08,800
Speaker 1: one quick call, Mike in Easter. We have about thirty

2799
02:13:08,800 --> 02:13:13,000
Speaker 1: seconds for you, Mike, about thirty seconds. I'll just say

2800
02:13:13,040 --> 02:13:15,840
Speaker 1: that I was very skeptical that Josh Allen pick. At first,

2801
02:13:15,880 --> 02:13:17,600
Speaker 1: I thought the arm strength strength thing was going to

2802
02:13:17,640 --> 02:13:20,440
Speaker 1: be really overblown, But watching him is compared to like

2803
02:13:20,880 --> 02:13:23,920
Speaker 1: Flackle on television last night, or walk every other quarterback

2804
02:13:24,000 --> 02:13:26,360
Speaker 1: throwing the ball looks slow now because he doesn't. The

2805
02:13:26,480 --> 02:13:29,720
Speaker 1: velocity coming out the release is so impressive. It's making

2806
02:13:29,720 --> 02:13:31,520
Speaker 1: all these other guys just look like they're throwing ducks

2807
02:13:31,560 --> 02:13:34,440
Speaker 1: out there. It's impressive. It's there's more to it than

2808
02:13:34,520 --> 02:13:36,400
Speaker 1: arm strength, right, we know that there's more to it,

2809
02:13:36,520 --> 02:13:39,840
Speaker 1: but man, oh man, it sure makes you good, look

2810
02:13:39,920 --> 02:13:41,720
Speaker 1: look good. Get him off the bus, that's for sure.

2811
02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,440
Speaker 1: Tomorrow more on the quarterbacks. We will hear from Josh Allen,

2812
02:13:44,440 --> 02:13:46,839
Speaker 1: We'll hear from Sean McDermot, who's got a morning news conference,

2813
02:13:46,880 --> 02:13:48,640
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from you or your thoughts on the

2814
02:13:48,720 --> 02:13:51,440
Speaker 1: latest development from Bill's Land. Hope you tune in. We're
