40
00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: we sit here and we talk for three hours, and

41
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:05,640
Speaker 1: it's a little you got to concentrate on what's going on.

42
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: We got you know, things going on here. We're talking

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:09,519
Speaker 1: to Jay, communicating with each other, and we got guests

44
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 1: and all this stuff. So it's a little you know,

45
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:13,000
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of a mental gymnastics. But we're

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 1: just we're sitting in chairs. Right, yeah, tonight, same thing.

47
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: You're kind of do you stand and do the games? Right,

48
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:20,520
Speaker 1: So you stand up and I'm in the same way.

49
00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: You kind of stand up and do the game. And

50
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: you're on your feet for three and a half four hours, uh,

51
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 1: doing you know, pregame stuff and on the game stuff.

52
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: You go down, you where you're in the stadium, you're

53
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,440
Speaker 1: doing some postgame interviews. You don't go down. You climb

54
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:33,680
Speaker 1: on the bus. We don't, you know, they're all showering

55
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 1: and stuff. We're just kind of gathering our stuff and

56
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 1: getting down there and kind of piling on the bus.

57
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: We get in at like two am tonight. It's a

58
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:43,720
Speaker 1: long day, but it's mostly just mental gymnastics. And I've

59
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:46,519
Speaker 1: always been shocked at how exhausted I am. You get

60
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: on that bus to go to the airport with it.

61
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:53,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna fly back on the team charter tonight. I'm done. Yeah,

62
00:02:53,080 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: I mean I am done. Even the home game last week.

63
00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,399
Speaker 1: I was surprised. I kind you kind of forget after

64
00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 1: an entire offseason. I'm surprised how tired I was Friday

65
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: and a little bit into Saturday last weekend, just because

66
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: you know it's a game. I'll be dropping you off

67
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: at your car at the airport like three am. We're

68
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:09,600
Speaker 1: trying to make the case if we really, Stephen, I

69
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 1: really don't need to do this show on game day,

70
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,160
Speaker 1: do we? Who else is gonna do it? Though? It's

71
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,480
Speaker 1: it's you and me and nobody else. Let's go of

72
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: those fifteen hockey announcers not to do it or something.

73
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: Jay's We're out. We're off the rails already. It's like

74
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,000
Speaker 1: two minutes now. It's going to be a good show.

75
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,280
Speaker 1: These these days are the ones we wait for. Made

76
00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: you today right game day, and it's it's been fun

77
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: being here because I think even more so than in

78
00:03:38,080 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: training camp because of the schedule of our show and

79
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:43,280
Speaker 1: when the when Ron Revere and Sean McDermott had practiced

80
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 1: this week, we got a chance to stand right there

81
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 1: and watch it. And it is training camps. We did

82
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 1: that a little bit at Saint John Fisher, but we

83
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:52,520
Speaker 1: were on the field and with two teams going, man,

84
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: there was a lot going on, a lot to take in,

85
00:03:54,320 --> 00:03:56,040
Speaker 1: and I thought, it's been a really nice week. We've

86
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 1: been totally immersed in the Bills all week. When your

87
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: man Andrew Candeline was here, yes today, one point off air,

88
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,880
Speaker 1: I said to him, Andrew, tell me something going on

89
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,360
Speaker 1: in the world that doesn't have anything to do with

90
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills, right, because I mean, that's what we've

91
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: been dealing with. And it's great. And four seven, Yeah,

92
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: twenty four seven, and we're ready to do three more

93

100
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,839
Speaker 1: us at one o'clock. We'll getna. I think they're a

101
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:33,840
Speaker 1: very interesting team and we'll talk about this. I think

102
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 1: Carolina is a very interesting team. Now I'm not saying

103
00:04:35,720 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 1: they're a really good team, but pretty interesting set up there.

104
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: And Chris Brown with his game day thoughts, pregame thoughts,

105
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:43,640
Speaker 1: he's going to join us at too. I think this

106
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 1: because of this trip, we've set a personal record for Brownie.

107
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 1: I was adding Brownie, it's two appearances on the show.

108
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: This is only two this week. I think he was

109
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: only three times last week. Wasn't he know he was

110
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:56,760
Speaker 1: on both days in Carolina, wasn't he No? I mean

00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 1: today this is three and he was three last week. Yeah,

113
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: this is Are we over Brownie? Are we too brown No?

114
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 1: I think we're I think we're just right. Yeah, there's

115
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: you can never have enough brownies, Brownie's and Yeah, and

116
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,680
Speaker 1: like we always say, he's a great guest to have

117
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:20,599
Speaker 1: on because he is the one guy that is not

118
00:05:20,680 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: a coach or a player who is eyeballs deep in

119
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 1: the you know the roster, who's taking this rip, who's

120
00:05:29,320 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: taking that rip? How they who they substituted for? I

121
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: don't know how he did. I go out there and

122
00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:36,440
Speaker 1: I'm kind of watching big picture stuff like you know,

127
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,159
Speaker 1: on the field with his team. Like today, can make

128
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,040
Speaker 1: good cons about where I'm at. Really looking forward to

129
00:05:56,040 --> 00:05:58,320
Speaker 1: Tonight's game, I am. I like preseason football. I like

130
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,600
Speaker 1: these stories. I'd like to see how they d really

131
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:03,160
Speaker 1: looking forward to Tonight's game, but I'm really looking forward

132
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: to next Friday's game at to Troy, when we see

133
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,479
Speaker 1: the starters, when we get a sense of who the

134
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen Buffalo Bills will look like. Um, I really

135
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:12,600
Speaker 1: looked at Next Friday is gonna be fun at de Tray.

136
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:14,600
Speaker 1: This game will be fun. We'll have fun with it,

137
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and there are stories to tell and people to watch.

138
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,240
Speaker 1: But I'm already getting excited about next Friday's game. It's

139
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,599
Speaker 1: interesting too, because we these two teams practice together twice

140
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:25,680
Speaker 1: this week and there's a little John going. I just

141
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: said Cam Phillips never, Cam Newton didn't shut up. Yeah,

142
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton didn't shut up for a minute,

143
00:06:34,680 --> 00:06:37,400
Speaker 1: and he was talking and calling guys out in the

144
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,720
Speaker 1: videos all over Twitter about what he said to Ed

145
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: Oliver about he's gonna need a an asthma mask, you know,

146
00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,080
Speaker 1: asthma dank and all that stuff. He's you know, you're

147
00:06:46,080 --> 00:06:50,000
Speaker 1: gonna wear him out. And how bad do you think

148
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,440
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver wants to get into their backfield tonight? You know,

149
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:54,400
Speaker 1: there's a little bit of that going on. And so

150
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 1: because both teams were really disciplined, really mature in the

151
00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: way they hand told these two practices. They were really hard,

152
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:08,040
Speaker 1: really competitive, but really professional, really respectful of everybody's career,

153
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: what they were doing, what the role their war role

154
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: was in every team. I was really two mature teams

155
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: out there this week. And now that's having said that,

156
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:22,600
Speaker 1: that goes away in this game. I mean that's gonna

157
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna both teams turn it all the way up

158
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: and the well, I think I think the level of

159
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: comportment goes away. Yeah, I think they're gonna go out

160
00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 1: there and say, Okay, you saw what we were at

161
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,160
Speaker 1: when we were at our best behavior, Watch how nasty

162
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 1: we can get tonight and there's that kind of mentality,

163
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: you know, And I think both those teams will click

164
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,800
Speaker 1: and something will click in them and say, Okay, they

165
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 1: thought they were getting the most of us. And there

166
00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 1: were all these times when I let up as a defender.

167
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 1: There is times when I had him covered, he thought

168
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:49,880
Speaker 1: he got me watch me tonight. And there's gonna be

169
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: a lot of that on individual basis, and certainly as

170
00:07:51,920 --> 00:07:54,320
Speaker 1: a collective group. I find and maybe it's because we're

171
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 1: here all week, but I find the Panther's kind of

172
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: a very interesting, almost fascinating team, just a couple of

173
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: years removed from the NFC championship they had last year.

174
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: They start out six and two, they're rolling, and then

175
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:09,040
Speaker 1: Cam hurts his shoulder and then they start losing seven

176
00:08:09,080 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: in a row. They finished seven to nine after starting

177
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: the season six and two. So they went one and

178
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,239
Speaker 1: seven in the second half of the year, some horrible losses,

179
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:19,080
Speaker 1: and you know they've they've added some pieces here, right.

180
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:23,440
Speaker 1: They got great weapons already, Newton obviously, former MVP McCaffrey

181
00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,760
Speaker 1: is outstanding, the young wide receiver, second year rode receiver

182
00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: DJ Moore, solid player, and good weapons. Offensively, they got

183
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:33,560
Speaker 1: Luke Keikley on the defensive side of the ball. They

184
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,079
Speaker 1: added to Gerald McCoy and on the front end, and

185
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:38,319
Speaker 1: they got a great draft. I don't know if he's

186
00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,040
Speaker 1: gonna play. I'm bummed about that. But their first round

187
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: draft pick, Brian Burns, the pass ross specialist from FSU,

188
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 1: I don't know if he's gonna play. Hurt his shoulder

189
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: in practice on Tuesday and took it easy on Wednesday,

190
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,560
Speaker 1: and I'd be disappointed if he doesn't play. I think

191
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:54,040
Speaker 1: the Panthers are really talented and I think they have

192
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: potentially be really good. They're in a competitive NFC South,

193
00:08:58,040 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 1: with the Saints obviously being the top dogs there the

194
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,920
Speaker 1: Falcons another team just a year or two remove from

195
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl appearance. I think the Panthers are a

196
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,680
Speaker 1: really fascinating team, and we might get a clue as

197
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 1: to which way their season goes by the way they play.

198
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: I think they're one of those teams a little bit

199
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: like Buffalo. They've got there under the radar, with sneaky

200
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 1: high expectations for themselves. I think with Cam Newton getting healthy,

201
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:22,320
Speaker 1: certainly a lot of it depends on Cam and how

202
00:09:22,360 --> 00:09:24,840
Speaker 1: he plays, no question about it, and this team offense.

203
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,640
Speaker 1: I mean, he's the engine that runs it. Even though

204
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: they do have Greg Olsen, they have Christian McCaffrey, who

205
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:33,280
Speaker 1: are two really potent weapons, it all runs around Cam

206
00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: and I think you can look at their you know,

207
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: one and eight record, one and seven record to finish

208
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: the season last year. End point right to Cam Newton's

209
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:43,160
Speaker 1: shoulder is the issue. I mean, you watch those guys play.

210
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: He couldn't throw it. So coming back rehab and taking

211
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,240
Speaker 1: his time doing all the right things. You saw some

212
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,040
Speaker 1: videos of him working out in the off season. The

213
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: guy put in his time to rehab and he wants

214
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 1: to splash this year. You can bet that Cam Newton

215
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,160
Speaker 1: and from what you've seen of him, what we know

216
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: about him from the outside looking in, he's a guy

217
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,679
Speaker 1: who wants to make sure everybody knows he's he can play.

218
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,400
Speaker 1: So he's going to be highly motivated to bounce back.

219
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,880
Speaker 1: And I think if he's able to do that with

220
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,480
Speaker 1: his shoulder and his arm and his abilities, yeah, this

221
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: Panthers team is gonna gonna be right back in the mix.

222
00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 1: They start their season with the home game against the

223
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: Rams on Sunday, September eighth, one o'clock kickoff at Bank

224
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:24,760
Speaker 1: of America Stadium, so they get a tough schedule a

225
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:26,960
Speaker 1: to start to their schedule. As a matter of fact,

226
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 1: we'll talk about the We'll talk with Mick Mixon about

227
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers coming up at one o'clock and about

228
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Cam Newton, who did not play in Chicago last Thursday night,

229
00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: eight days ago, that we expect to see some of

230
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,559
Speaker 1: their other quarterback, well their other quarterbacks, but especially their

231
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: third round pick, Will Greer from West Virginia, who was

232
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: a native of Charlotte, North Carolina, back home to play

233
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,640
Speaker 1: in his first game for the Panthers for his hometown team.

234
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,120
Speaker 1: Highly regarded quarterback, pretty good passer in his collegiate career

235
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: in West Virginia. I don't think they anticipate he'll be

236
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: ready to start soon, but I know we'll see a

237
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 1: lot of him. He'll be to watch. Again. I'm ruining

238
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: the fact that we may not see Brian Burns today

239
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 1: because look, when we were in our draft prep, he's

240
00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: a guy and the Bills set a need for pass rushing, right,

241
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 1: he was a guy that you thought about for the Bills. Right.

242
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,080
Speaker 1: He was in the mix pas, he was in he

243
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,880
Speaker 1: was in the mix, no question about it. Like people

244
00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,560
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, Carolina, fans got a lot of gotten new

245
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:23,480
Speaker 1: guys they're trying to evaluate and look at. They want

246
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: to see what Gerald McCoy can do in a Panther's

247
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: uniform rather than a Bucks uniform. Moving over in the division.

248
00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 1: I think that's a big move, and I think it's

249
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,360
Speaker 1: it's a little under rated, a little under the radar.

250
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: How to make a bigger difference he can make playing

251
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 1: and he's playing defensive end in a three to four

252
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: not really. I mean, there's only been one guy that

253
00:11:41,280 --> 00:11:43,760
Speaker 1: I can think of ever that's had a great career

254
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,880
Speaker 1: doing that, and that's Bruce Um. It's hard to make

255
00:11:46,920 --> 00:11:48,800
Speaker 1: your mark is a defensive end in a three four

256
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: because a lot of times what you do is you

257
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 1: kind of allow yourself to get blocked by two guys,

258
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 1: so everybody kind of balls and it's hard to rush

259
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 1: the passer from inside like that. So but Gerald McCoy

260
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 1: is a is a guy that can really go U

261
00:12:01,559 --> 00:12:04,120
Speaker 1: Don Tari Poe is their nose tackle, and all those

262
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 1: guys on the nose guard in a three four defense.

263
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 1: The great ones are different because they're just massive human beings.

264
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: They're they're they're athletic sumo wrestlers. I mean, these guys

265
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: are really unbelievable. The best guy ever in the history

266
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 1: of the game was a guy I played with and

267
00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: Ted Washington. He was unbelievable athlete, weighing three mid three

268
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: bills plus and he would he could, you know, move

269
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,199
Speaker 1: everybody on the line. So it'll be interesting to see them.

270
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,360
Speaker 1: And this is new for the Panthers. Bills fans may

271
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 1: not know this, and we've heard it, probably heard about

272
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: it all week. The Panthers are switching to a three

273
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 1: four alignment. It's all new to them, so it's it's

274
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,600
Speaker 1: interesting for Panther fans to see their team in this

275
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: new alignment to see if they can get more pressure

276
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:54,440
Speaker 1: on the quarterback and manufacture it. And basically speaking for

277
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: those who don't know, a three four has two outside

278
00:12:57,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: linebackers who stand up, three guys with their hands on

279
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 1: the ground, and a guy right on the center, and

280
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:07,440
Speaker 1: then two middle inside linebackers a salmon a will And

281
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,400
Speaker 1: because of the alignment, you know four guys are going

282
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,400
Speaker 1: to rush the passers. Three of them are probably the

283
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: guys with their hands on the ground, but the fourth

284
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 1: could be any one of those four linebackers. Usually the

285
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:21,719
Speaker 1: outside linebackers are really good pass rushers, so you kind

286
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: of know get an idea of who their good guys are.

287
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,719
Speaker 1: But because of the flexibility of this alignment and these

288
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: linebackers who have their hands off the ground, they could

289
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:32,280
Speaker 1: move very easily before the snap, and that you know,

290
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: that's an adjustment in schematics, and also in pass coverage.

291
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 1: Who drops two drops back, who's in coverage. All this

292
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: stuff is brand new to the Panthers, and they're kind

293
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: of getting their feet on the ground, and I think

294
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:44,960
Speaker 1: their fans are anxious to see them have some success

295
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: so they can feel good about how the season's going

296
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 1: to go. So yeah, Panthers Bills, seven o'clock tonight, We're

297
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 1: coming to you Alive from the fourth day of our

298

Speaker 1: four broadcasts on this show from Carolina Or in North Carolina,

299
00:13:57,040 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 1: Charlotte at the beautiful Western Hotel downtown. Enjoyed it here.

300
00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 1: I had a great dinner with my cousin, Chuck Murphy

301
00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,200
Speaker 1: lives here, lived here for fifteen twenty years. Now. You

302
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 1: took me to a place that specializes in buffalo pizza.

303
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: Bisante pizza. It's good. What's Buffalo pizza. That's what's Bizante

304
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: is the name of the place. Okay, Buffalo Pizza is pizza.

305
00:14:16,240 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 1: That's like, if you know everything here is Buffalo, right,

327
00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 1: moved down to Charlotte thinking it's the best. This town

328
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: is completely under construction. You gotta feel good for him.

329
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:23,080
Speaker 1: I mean we walked down to a place like you.

330
00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:25,680

00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:40,680
Speaker 1: like that, like Old Town Nashville where the place is

336
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:43,360
Speaker 1: like an ant hill. But it was nice, as you know.

337
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,440
Speaker 1: Of course, the weather was pleasant and stuff. By that

338
00:15:45,480 --> 00:15:48,360

357
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: rip this place, which is not fine. But we're going

358
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,800

Speaker 1: and go to Charlotte. And wait, you can't go to

362
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 1: the beach. You're not going to write what do you

363
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 1: do in Charlotte? I mean I can't. I guess I

364
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: could play some golf if I brought my clubs or something,

365
00:16:54,800 --> 00:16:56,240

00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,119
Speaker 1: Charlotte now and I'm not. It's foue. But I'll tell you.

392
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: I'm like you. I like home better. Oh, I can't wait.

393
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,600
Speaker 1: I'm gone all week all right? Preseason football. Three games tonight,

394
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:14,240
Speaker 1: the Bills game obviously at seven, Bears and Giants at

395
00:18:14,240 --> 00:18:17,560
Speaker 1: seven thirty, Dolphins and the Bucks at seven thirty. Last night,

396
00:18:17,560 --> 00:18:21,960
Speaker 1: there were five games, including the Bengals Washington Redskins game. Steve,

397
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
Speaker 1: you saw the Savelli Bengals won a little bit, twenty

398
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 1: three to thirteen, But did you see Look I believe this.

399
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 1: And we had a production meeting with John McDermott yesterday

400
00:18:30,040 --> 00:18:32,480
Speaker 1: and we can't reveal everything that went on in there,

401
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:35,959
Speaker 1: but it's it's becoming very clear to me that the

402
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 1: NFL's i hate to say it, but they're gonna have

403
00:18:38,840 --> 00:18:42,520
Speaker 1: a problem with the replay call on pass interference. And

404
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,040
Speaker 1: it happened last night in the game, the Washington game.

405
00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: I wonder if most of our viewers saw it offensive

406
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 1: passion interference call on Washington wide receiver Calvin Harmon. It

407
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: was an offensive pass interference. Did you see the play?

408
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 1: He went bad? Did and it probably was offensive pass interference,

409
00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 1: But the problem was so early in the play they

410
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,320
Speaker 1: didn't pick it up on the ISO camera. What happened

411
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: was the guy got really opened. The ball was severely

412
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:12,360
Speaker 1: under threw. Everybody thought the penalty was at the point

413
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:14,439
Speaker 1: where the ball got there. The penalty was on the

414
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: offensive player at the top of the stem. He pushed

415
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,720
Speaker 1: off and when the ball came out, you'll see he

416
00:19:19,800 --> 00:19:22,240
Speaker 1: was like three yards behind the defender. That's when the

417
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,480
Speaker 1: interference happened. But it didn't come up. It didn't come

418
00:19:25,560 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 1: up on the replay, and that you know, so the

419
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: crowd it's a pr nightmare because the call was probably

420
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 1: made correct because where did you see that? Because I

421
00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: saw it on the if you look on the old

422
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 1: twenty two or if you look on the if you

423
00:19:39,320 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 1: look on the broadcast replay and you're and a little

424
00:19:42,359 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: bit of this. There is no question I was infer

425
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,600
Speaker 1: and what happened because I've done it a thousand times.

426
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: But I think that's what happened on the play. The

427
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 1: receiver gets to the top of the route and and

428
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 1: what you see in the clips is right when the

429
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: ball gets there, and that was off the No, not

430
00:19:57,600 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: at all. It wasn't even closed. It was a joke.

431
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:06,760
Speaker 1: That difference is that the uh, the interference happened early

432
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,800
Speaker 1: in the play, so it wasn't picked up on the replay,

433
00:20:10,880 --> 00:20:15,320
Speaker 1: So what are you gonna do? You know? And well,

434
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 1: Washington challenged it using the replay challenge, saying, we think

435
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: I'm sure they thought that's defensive past interference or that's

436
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: not you know, getting them to pick up the flag

437
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: was really what they were looking at. And they didn't

438
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,320
Speaker 1: do it. They upheld it. And you're telling me they

439
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,879
Speaker 1: upheld it because before the ball contact there there was

440
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 1: a push off. I didn't see that right, right, it

441
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 1: was as I got to go back and see it.

442
00:20:36,240 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: But you'll see, and you'll you'll see the receiver releases

443
00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,960
Speaker 1: gets up the field and the guy's ride on him

444
00:20:42,880 --> 00:20:45,239
Speaker 1: and then and the ball gets out there and he's

445
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: got like a three yard separation on the guy, meaning

446
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,399
Speaker 1: like right away and the guy you just the body

447
00:20:50,440 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: language told me that, yeah, that was that could have

448
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: been a push off and the ball was severely underthrown.

449
00:20:56,640 --> 00:20:58,720
Speaker 1: So the receiver, their offensive guy comes back to try

450
00:20:58,720 --> 00:20:59,960
Speaker 1: and catch it and they go up for a fifth

451
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 1: fifty ball and that's what everybody sees, and it's like,

452
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,920
Speaker 1: there's no passage, there's no pass interference there. That's crazy talk.

453
00:21:05,240 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 1: That was a great that was a you know, it's

454
00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 1: just an incomplete past. Two guys knocking it down from

455
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,919
Speaker 1: each other. I think the and I think when the

456
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: when the official got on the headsets the guy in

457
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: the in the back end and said, hey, listen, it

458
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,439
Speaker 1: happened early in the route, back at the top of

459
00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 1: the stem. That's when the interference was. Where does catchability

460
00:21:22,920 --> 00:21:26,240
Speaker 1: fall into play for offensive pass interference? So if it's

461
00:21:26,280 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: severely underthrown, probably not catchable. No, that ball was catchable.

462
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 1: The one that we're talking about now that was very

463
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:35,840
Speaker 1: catchable by both guys, and the only reason it wasn't

464
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:37,920
Speaker 1: was because they were fighting with each other. It was

465
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,080
Speaker 1: a fifty fifty ball that turned into a into a

466
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:44,200
Speaker 1: non incompletion that go and look at it now, because

467
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,680
Speaker 1: I was. Look I just think I get the sense

468
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: that the league is all there. It's there's a dark

469
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,680
Speaker 1: scratch in their head. What are we doing? And and

470
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: I have no, absolutely no sympathy for the coaches who

471
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,239
Speaker 1: are complaining about this because they forced this through. This

472
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:02,560
Speaker 1: was not a competition issue committee rule change. This was coaches.

473
00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 1: We've talked about this, meeting at the owners meetings last spring,

474
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,479
Speaker 1: calling their own separate meeting and voting. I think it

475
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: was thirty one to one to thirty two to nothing,

476
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 1: voting to allow the use of replay. I'm pass interference

477
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: offense and defense on a one year trial basis. The

478
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:19,280
Speaker 1: coaches wanted this, well, now fellas figure it out. How

479
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: are you going to use it? Don't you get the

480
00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,639
Speaker 1: sense that coaches are a little bit confused as to

481
00:22:23,720 --> 00:22:25,520
Speaker 1: how it's going to be called and how they know

482
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:28,200
Speaker 1: what the rule is, but they're getting kind of mixed

483
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 1: messages from the league and don't know exactly how to

484
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,840
Speaker 1: how to handle this. This has been a problem, Yes,

485
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: it has been a problem the administration not only of

486
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: this rule. It's what you and I both think is

487
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem this season, and we've seen it be.

488
00:22:44,080 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 1: You know, the waters are very muddy right now. Is

489
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,080
Speaker 1: to what's going to be what's gonna happen with this

490
00:22:49,119 --> 00:22:52,160
Speaker 1: three weeks away from and it's and it's very reminiscent

491
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,880
Speaker 1: of two years ago in the catch rule and how

492
00:22:55,920 --> 00:23:01,000
Speaker 1: that was administered and how you know, it's it's inconsistently

493
00:23:01,080 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: administered from New York. That's been a real issue and

494
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: I think continue and now they're getting signs that that's

495
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 1: going to continue that way with this rule. The New

496
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:14,480
Speaker 1: York has not gotten it together yet and until they do,

497
00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna have some issues, of some big issues. And

498
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: I think I I since, yeah, I just since there's

499
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 1: a lot of frustration with the coaches at this point.

500
00:23:23,440 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: Now you know, we're one gamer now, one and a

501
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 1: half games. You know, with some teams playing last night,

502
00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:31,200
Speaker 1: they're almost two weeks in to a preseason where they're

503
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:33,360
Speaker 1: trying to iron this out. So you'd think they think

504
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, it's going to take some time, but man,

505
00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:40,160
Speaker 1: oh man, they are not getting closer right now, right

506
00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 1: and coaches are frustrated with the inconsistency and plus they're

507
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:51,960
Speaker 1: getting told one thing from New York during the week,

508
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: they relay that on the field, and the official on

509
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: the field has got a different message in game. So

510
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:03,600
Speaker 1: it's it is. It's a mess right now. It's a mess,

511
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:05,800
Speaker 1: I think it is and that and they're there, They're

512
00:24:05,800 --> 00:24:07,960
Speaker 1: gonna they got some they got some problems to fight through.

513
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:10,439
Speaker 1: We're not going to talk about replay all day. Somebody

514
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 1: on Twitter accused me yesterday of kind of just locking

515
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:15,679
Speaker 1: under replay. Look, I'm against it. I've been against it

516
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: from the start. I like to see it repealed, this

517
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:19,800
Speaker 1: replay and all replay. But we're not going to focus

518
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:21,199
Speaker 1: on that all day because we've got a game to

519
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,600
Speaker 1: talk about Game day here in Carolina, and we want

520
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,239

Speaker 1: the first game go? How the first game go? Would

551
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: you think? You tell me? No, No, you don't wanted

552
00:25:55,080 --> 00:25:57,440
Speaker 1: to do your feelings. No, Honestly, I felt pretty comfortable

553
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:03,480
Speaker 1: up there. I really enjoyed being back at the stadium

554
00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: in that environment. Um, just a lot of fun being

555
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: back in Buffalo and being involved with the team in

556
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 1: some capacity. I thought the broadcast went really well. I

557
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:15,720
Speaker 1: thought it went smooth. I got some great feedback and

558
00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: some stuff to work on for this week and in

559
00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:20,920
Speaker 1: the future. Um, but a lot of the reviews I got, uh,

560
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:24,240
Speaker 1: we're great and positive, which is a good sign moving

561
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: forward because you know, then I can just kind of

562
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: be me on the broadcast. And people took it pretty

563
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,000
Speaker 1: easy on me on Twitter last week, so you know,

564
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,480
Speaker 1: which it's all good. Don't get used to it exactly.

565
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,119
Speaker 1: But yeah, and that's the best piece of advice I

566
00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,199
Speaker 1: ever got about being a broadcaster. It happened when I

567
00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:42,399
Speaker 1: was like eighteen years old. The guys just said, listen,

568
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: just be you, right, don't try and be like anybody else.

569
00:26:45,720 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 1: You'd be you, and if you're if you're a likable guy,

570
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 1: if you're interesting, you work hard at it, people know

571
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 1: and then don't understand it because you can't be somebody else, right, Yeah,

572
00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: it makes them uncomforta makes people uncomfortable to listen to you.

573
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm with you. I heard a lot of

574
00:26:58,280 --> 00:27:00,879
Speaker 1: great things about the broadcast the game last week. You know,

575
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: you and I did a couple of practice games and

576
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:05,200
Speaker 1: it's different. And even in a preseason game there's kind

577
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: of a little bit of intensity and stuff's happening quickly.

578
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:09,679
Speaker 1: But when you get to the regular season, yeah, I mean,

579
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,439
Speaker 1: and the crowd is a big part of it, especially

580
00:27:11,480 --> 00:27:13,400
Speaker 1: at home, you feel it. And I always tell people

581
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:16,400
Speaker 1: there is a level of engagement in the game. Obviously,

582
00:27:16,440 --> 00:27:19,040
Speaker 1: players have most of it, coaches have a big junk

583
00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: of it. After that, I think as broadcasters were probably

584
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: you know, the next concentric circle of engagement in the game.

585
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,720
Speaker 1: You have to you have to be involved, you have

586
00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:29,320
Speaker 1: to pay attention. You'll you'll love it. You'll love regulars absolutely. Yeah.

587
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to a regular season game where it

588
00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,639
Speaker 1: gets more climactic as the game goes on, as opposed

589
00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,760
Speaker 1: to whenever you take the starters out, you know it's

590
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: it's not anti climactic for those guys that are trying

591
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:39,879
Speaker 1: to make the fifty three man roster. I don't want

592
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:42,520
Speaker 1: to diminish that in one bit. But for us in

593
00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: the booth, you know, we're looking for storylines and we're

594
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 1: looking for some stuff because there's there's only so much

595
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,040
Speaker 1: time we can spend talking about Tyree Jackson who came

596
00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:53,359
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, and Chad Kelly last week, who is back

597
00:27:53,359 --> 00:27:56,439
Speaker 1: in front of his uncle Jim and all of his family.

598
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 1: You know, you can only go on that for so long.

599
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: But you know, with the way games pan out, most

600
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: of them are one score or less. I'm really looking

601
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,800
Speaker 1: forward to an intense fourth quarter that we're really into

602
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,000
Speaker 1: the call, and I think that'll be a ton of fun.

603
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 1: It's interesting too, because you're right, it is a game

604
00:28:10,840 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: in reverse, so you know, the interesting part of it

605
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 1: is in the beginning and with the result being so nonconsequential,

606
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 1: it does start start strong and then fade away as

607
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: the night goes on, and we've all experienced it. Murph

608
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,680
Speaker 1: and I were talking about when we went on there

609
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,560
Speaker 1: were seven preseason games last night around the NFL. Murphy,

610
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,439
Speaker 1: we could not be less interested, right, we could not

611
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: possibly care lest I mean I watched I watched Kyler Murie. Okay,

612
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:39,160
Speaker 1: at every night. That's all I need to know. And

613
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,520
Speaker 1: Haskins had a nice moment. He struggled a little bit too,

614
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,880
Speaker 1: is a little up and down for Haskins. And okay,

615
00:28:43,880 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: the rest of I didn't even know it was Raiders one. Okay, fine,

616
00:28:46,760 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: but tonight's game. I'm like, let's go, man, I can't.

617
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 1: This is the one game I want to see because

618
00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's what all fans are. I

619
00:28:54,280 --> 00:28:56,239
Speaker 1: think it could care less about it around like they

620
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 1: want to see their team play in the preseason. It's

621
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,440
Speaker 1: unlike any of their weekend and weekends in football, these

622
00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: preseason games because the league at large is off the radar.

623
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:12,760
Speaker 1: I mean, you're totally focused on the team you're cheering for. Absolutely,

624
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 1: and Bills fans are so intense and they're so into

625
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 1: it that they get behind the team. There was a

626
00:29:18,080 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: bunch of them in attendance last week in Orchard Park.

627
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 1: I was not shocked, but still fired me up. How

628
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: many Bills fans I could see through feeds that were

629
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 1: out at Wofford College watching practice. Bills fans always show

630
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: up for us in Charlotte. I remember my rookie year

631
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: in OH nine being blown away Charlotte was one of

632
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: our earlier road trips and being blown away that when

633
00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:44,720
Speaker 1: we ended up taking the lead in the fourth quarter,

634
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 1: are winning the game, and it sounded like a Bill's

635
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: home game, and we were coming off the field to

636
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 1: shout song cheers, and it felt it did not feel

637
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: like a road game. Charlotte, Miami, Nashville. You know there's

638
00:29:58,160 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 1: there's at least one or two a year when we

639
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: play it out in LA a few years ago. Man,

640
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: the table base like that. Bills fans show up really

641
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: really well. Yeah, Eric, what is with us getting set

642
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,960
Speaker 1: for a second preseason broadcast with us on the Bills

643
00:30:10,040 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: Radio network. Bills come off a week where they spent,

644
00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:14,600
Speaker 1: you know, a couple of days on the field with

645
00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,520
Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. You did that. I know during your career,

646
00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,040
Speaker 1: what is that like to practice against team and then

647
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: go play him at the end of the week. You know,

648
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 1: it's really good work. You know, you spend so much

649
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: time in training camp going up against the same guys

650
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:29,480
Speaker 1: and when you do one on one pass rush, you know,

651
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:31,320
Speaker 1: for me, a lot of times I'm going up against.

652
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:34,160
Speaker 1: When I was here, it was Marcel Darius almost every

653
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:37,160
Speaker 1: single day, two reps to start the drill every single time. Well,

654
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: we end up playing each other's tendencies as opposed to

655
00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: really developing as a blocker. So now you come down

656
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: here and I talked to a couple of the guys

657
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,400
Speaker 1: and how valuable is it for a guy like Cody

658
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,520
Speaker 1: Ford that's transitioning some to guard, playing some tackle. Well,

659
00:30:50,560 --> 00:30:54,280
Speaker 1: now he gets to go against Kawan Short, Gerald McCoy don,

660
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: Terry Poe, guys that have been in this league for

661
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:58,800
Speaker 1: a long time, and he can work it in a

662
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: practice setting where he can try some different things and

663
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: not get roasted for something that happens in a preseason game.

664
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:09,120
Speaker 1: Because shooting nowadays, every clip is dissected, especially these high

665
00:31:09,160 --> 00:31:11,760
Speaker 1: round rookie draft picks. Every player they have on the

666
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: preseason tape is dissected so heavily. A lot has been

667
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,200
Speaker 1: said that it was a kind of a good week

668
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:19,880
Speaker 1: for the Bills because of the scheme that the line

669
00:31:19,880 --> 00:31:22,960
Speaker 1: of Panthers run. We had three four defense. Your offensive

670
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,680
Speaker 1: lineman tell us about how valuable that was and is

671
00:31:25,720 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: that really something that people can hang their hats on.

672
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 1: Is how important this joint practice was because of the

673
00:31:31,560 --> 00:31:34,800
Speaker 1: defensive scheme to the Panthers run. Yes, absolutely, you know,

674
00:31:34,920 --> 00:31:37,800
Speaker 1: going against a different scheme is extremely valuable. Going against

675
00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:42,080
Speaker 1: different players is valuable. You know, come down here practicing

676
00:31:42,120 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 1: the heats valuable. I think there's a ton of value

677
00:31:44,600 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: to it. Now. It makes the game a little less

678
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: climactic because you know, I remember playing against the Browns

679
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: and the first couple. The first day was super heated.

680
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,640
Speaker 1: When we were practicing against the Browns, there were some scuffles.

681
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 1: Well the second day, you know, you grabbed dinner that night.

682
00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 1: You see guys around, you know, get friendlier as the

683
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,320
Speaker 1: week goes, and then by the time the game comes around,

684
00:32:03,640 --> 00:32:06,440
Speaker 1: it's almost like you're scrimmaging against It's almost like when

685
00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: the Bills did their mock game in the stadium. It's

686
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: back there, it's back to it's back to familiar faces.

687
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:14,520
Speaker 1: But there's so much on the line for so many

688
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 1: guys in this game tonight that it won't be it

689
00:32:17,840 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 1: won't be brother in law, and it won't be you know, hey,

690
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,440
Speaker 1: don't cut me, no, I'm trying to make the team.

691
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 1: There's too much money on the line, there's too much

692
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: pride on the line, and so that won't be the case.

693
00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: But it's a little tougher to get up for when

694
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,479
Speaker 1: the practices are so intense for two days, take one

695
00:32:34,520 --> 00:32:35,960
Speaker 1: day off and then you come back for the preseason.

696
00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: There anything about this, like there's certain guys, Like we

697
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: saw a clip where Cam Newton and Cam didn't shut

698
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 1: up the whole week. We've been talking about that a

699
00:32:42,160 --> 00:32:44,440
Speaker 1: little bit in the first segment of the show. You know,

700
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,080
Speaker 1: he when guys talk like that, there's always that subliminal

701
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: and maybe not so maybe it's overt desire to you know,

702
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: turn him upside down and use them like a tents

703
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:57,880
Speaker 1: take right, absolutely, how bad you think it. Oliver wants

704
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: to get in the backfield tomorrow after you know the

705
00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 1: little exchange we saw with Captain Munterlan and Cam Newton

706
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: and you know, calling at Oliver out. Ed's just standing

707
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: there and he's looking at him. Yeah, there's a little

708
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,760
Speaker 1: bit of that personal going on, right right, Yeah, And

709
00:33:10,800 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 1: you got to be careful doing that in practice too,

710
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:14,520
Speaker 1: because you don't know, you don't know if one of

711
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: these defensive lineman has a screw loose and he's gonna

712
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,960
Speaker 1: take your head off, because you know what you you push,

713
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:23,680
Speaker 1: You push a grown man hard enough verbally he might

714
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:27,760
Speaker 1: come at you. But from my understanding, nobody got too

715
00:33:27,800 --> 00:33:29,760
Speaker 1: close to the quarterbacks this week, which you need on

716
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 1: both sides. But that's my point. Yeah, but tonight in yes,

717
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 1: and that may be a reason to get Cam out early,

718
00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:41,720
Speaker 1: to get Josh out early, just because you don't want

719
00:33:41,760 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 1: anything that lingered through the week to come to a

720
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: head tonight. But guys that talk, they do it for

721
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: a reason, and they want to get in your head.

722
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: And in Cam Newton's mind, he's probably thinking good. If

723
00:33:51,440 --> 00:33:53,520
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver is worried about taking my head off, he's

724
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 1: probably not worried about his technique, where he's probably gonna

725
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: be a little bit easier to block because he's not

726
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,360
Speaker 1: worried about his technique as much. You know, he may

727
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: be going hard at me. But there goes Christian McCafferty

728
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,880
Speaker 1: on a run play because he's worried about Russia the

729
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:07,640
Speaker 1: passer when he should be and generalizing. But guys that

730
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:09,520
Speaker 1: trash talk, they like to get you out of their game,

731
00:34:10,120 --> 00:34:13,960
Speaker 1: out of your game. And I think he knows what

732
00:34:14,040 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 1: he's doing. But anytime you talk to that talk, you

733
00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: better be ready to back it up. And when you

734
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,839
Speaker 1: play quarterback and you talk the talk, your old line

735
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 1: better be better. You better be ready to back you up.

736
00:34:23,200 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 1: With Deeric Wood, who's got the call of the game

737
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: on the radio sign today, we were talking before we

738
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:30,239
Speaker 1: came on, Steve and I observation of practice with the

739
00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,800
Speaker 1: Bills and the the Panthers, and how impressed I was anyway,

740
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:34,640
Speaker 1: with Luke Keakley. You must have played against him, what

741
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,400
Speaker 1: two or three times in your career. Yeah, he's a

742
00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:40,000
Speaker 1: Cincinnati kid, so we went the rival high schools. I've

743
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,879
Speaker 1: known of Luke for a really long time. We didn't

744
00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 1: play against each other in high school. I'm a little

745
00:34:43,560 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 1: bit older than him. I remember Luke's rookie year. We're

746
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:50,200
Speaker 1: getting ready to play the Panthers, and I was talking

747
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 1: to Jeff hand Gardner, who was back in Carolina at

748
00:34:53,160 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: the time, and I said, Jeff, what's Luke like? I

749
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,440
Speaker 1: know he's a really good ball player, he said, however

750
00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: fast he looks on film, he's faster in person. And

751
00:35:01,880 --> 00:35:04,680
Speaker 1: for as fast as he is, he's also just as instinctive.

752
00:35:05,000 --> 00:35:07,960
Speaker 1: So if he gets a beat on a play, your

753
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:12,480
Speaker 1: angle to your linebacker better be extremely wide because you're

754
00:35:12,520 --> 00:35:14,680
Speaker 1: not going to get to him. And I've always been

755
00:35:14,719 --> 00:35:18,280
Speaker 1: so impressed by him. Shoot, I was impressed. I tweeted

756
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: about it this week. I was impressed. He broke down

757
00:35:20,280 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: Josh Allen after a practice. He could be sitting doing

758
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:26,640
Speaker 1: what we're doing right now too. He's so bright and

759
00:35:26,640 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 1: and it meant a lot to me because I know

760
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 1: Luke's not just gonna sit there and blow smoke. For

761
00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:34,359
Speaker 1: him to compliment Josh the way he did after those

762
00:35:34,360 --> 00:35:37,839
Speaker 1: practices was a great sign because Luke Luke has nothing

763
00:35:37,880 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: to gain by building up a Bill's fan base talking

764
00:35:40,800 --> 00:35:45,000
Speaker 1: about their quarterback. Really good, really smarted right. Okay, it's amazing.

765
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,080
Speaker 1: He watched We watched him practice a couple of times,

766
00:35:47,080 --> 00:35:53,080
Speaker 1: and there's absolutely zero hesitation on any play he plays in.

767
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:57,040
Speaker 1: When the ball is snapped, he's going and he's never wrong,

768
00:35:57,080 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: he's almost he's never wrong right. And unless the offense

769
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,200
Speaker 1: is really clicking and is on it and the balls

770
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 1: out now and the guy's looking forward and it's right there,

771
00:36:05,280 --> 00:36:07,880
Speaker 1: that's the only chance you've gotten because he's going to

772
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,120
Speaker 1: be in the middle of the play. And he's been

773
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,719
Speaker 1: that way since early in his career. I think he's

774
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,160
Speaker 1: I don't want to kind of get all crazy on him,

775
00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,960
Speaker 1: but the guy plays at a Hall of Fame level. Absolutely, Yeah,

776
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,319
Speaker 1: he really does. And he's playing I don't know if

777
00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:23,560
Speaker 1: he's you know, he's struggled with some concussion stuff, and

778
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 1: now he's deep into his career, he's still he is

779
00:36:27,960 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 1: still hitting on all cylinders in every way. Yeah, he

780
00:36:30,719 --> 00:36:34,399
Speaker 1: trains extremely well. When we played them two years ago,

781
00:36:34,440 --> 00:36:37,759
Speaker 1: maybe three down here two years ago. We played down

782
00:36:37,800 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: here two years ago. Their linebacking corps of Thomas Davis, Luke, Keekley,

783
00:36:41,880 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: and Shack Thompson were extremely fast, and Thomas Davis is

784
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,680
Speaker 1: about as instinctive as him and about as fast and

785
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 1: more physical. Luke's in a good way. He's he's a

786
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: new age linebacker. He's fanesse. He's not looking to blow up. No,

787
00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,400
Speaker 1: he's not looking to blow up a lineman. Why do that?

788
00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:01,960
Speaker 1: Why Why bang my head into an offensive linement when

789
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,960
Speaker 1: I don't need to and I can avoid him and

790
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: make a play. It doesn't do any good for the

791
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: defense or for my body longevity wise for me to

792
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,319
Speaker 1: bang into these offensive line until he avoids a lot. Well,

793
00:37:11,320 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 1: if you take a wide angle on Thomas Davis. He

794
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: was going to knock your block off. So and then

795
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:20,040
Speaker 1: Shack Thompson is so talented. Those guys gave us fits

796
00:37:20,080 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: that game in our run game, just because they were

797
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: hitting everything so downhill and so fast. With Eric Quid.

798
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,640
Speaker 1: Got a couple of minutes left on tonight's game, we

799
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:31,320
Speaker 1: know the starters will go about a quarter for the Bills,

800
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,719
Speaker 1: and Lashawan McCoy will get to start. Didn't not play

801
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:36,320
Speaker 1: last week against Indy. You've tweeted out you expect to

802
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: see some good things from Shady tonight. Huh more this year.

803
00:37:40,120 --> 00:37:42,399
Speaker 1: You know, I don't know how much work. Yeah, well,

804
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,960
Speaker 1: hopefully tonight, but you know, this year, I think Shady

805
00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:47,880
Speaker 1: can have a big year. I think he could be

806
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,080
Speaker 1: utilized so well on the pass game because he's multidimensional

807
00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:53,560
Speaker 1: as a running back. But year two with the offense,

808
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,480
Speaker 1: it improved old line, likely an improved passing game, a

809
00:37:57,600 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 1: deep threat over the top in John Brown, guys like

810
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley that are going to pull backers out of

811
00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:05,919
Speaker 1: the box and force their cards to get out there.

812
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:08,480
Speaker 1: I just think that this could be a really big

813
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 1: bounce back. You're for Shady and with all the you know,

814
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,040
Speaker 1: with one year left on his deal, you know he's

815
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 1: playing for a lot, and then with all the doubt

816
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,640
Speaker 1: that's on him. I mean, you're talking about one of

817
00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: the best running backs in the league for a long

818
00:38:20,600 --> 00:38:23,040
Speaker 1: long time and a guy who himself takes care of

819
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,640
Speaker 1: his body, takes care of his body with his training,

820
00:38:26,000 --> 00:38:28,120
Speaker 1: and that guy doesn't take a lot of shots. So

821
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 1: he's got some left in the tank. And I would

822
00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:33,080
Speaker 1: assume he'll be running and playing in a way this

823
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:35,759
Speaker 1: year like he's got something to prove, and those guys

824
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: are dangerous. Well, they're still trying to find those guys

825
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:40,600
Speaker 1: in front of him, the best five. They continue to

826
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:44,919
Speaker 1: shuffle around Mitch Morse concussion protocol, and I don't think

827
00:38:44,960 --> 00:38:47,200
Speaker 1: they're in any real hurry to get him back until

828
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:49,640
Speaker 1: he's one hundred percent. But they're starting to find a

829
00:38:49,680 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: lot of guys who can really play down inside with

830
00:38:51,920 --> 00:38:57,959
Speaker 1: Spencer Long, John Feliciano, Quentin Spain. And so they've got

831
00:38:58,680 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: some guys I think between inside the tackles that are

832
00:39:01,719 --> 00:39:04,560
Speaker 1: they're pretty deep there the tackle. I think the top

833
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,320
Speaker 1: three tackles are Cody Ford, who's probably as good a

834
00:39:07,400 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 1: guard as they have Insecki and Dawkins, Right, they're a

835
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 1: little light there, so how do you how do they

836
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: manage that in these games and find some guys. Yeah,

837
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,120
Speaker 1: and I know they were really high on what Connor

838
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,200
Speaker 1: Connor McDermott was doing at the starter camp. Hopefully he

839
00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 1: can get back from this injury quickly, because you know,

840
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:28,520
Speaker 1: I had talked to some guys within the building that

841
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 1: we're really encouraged by his play. But you know, what

842
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: these injuries have done is gave them some fluidity upfront,

843
00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:40,040
Speaker 1: gave them some versatility. They've realized where guys can play,

844
00:39:40,120 --> 00:39:43,320
Speaker 1: where they fit in. They're probably prepared for injuries throughout

845
00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,759
Speaker 1: the season better than they could. Hopefully none of these

846
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,520
Speaker 1: injuries linger into the regular season. Look, they know what

847
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse can do. They've seen it on film a

848
00:39:50,480 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 1: lot now. I'm sure they'd like to see it next

849
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,120
Speaker 1: week in Detroit. You know, get him one good warm

850
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:57,279
Speaker 1: up game. I know in years that I missed a

851
00:39:57,280 --> 00:39:59,960
Speaker 1: lot of the preseason through injuries from the previous year.

852
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,359
Speaker 1: It took a little longer to get your feet wet

853
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:03,920
Speaker 1: at the start of the season. Now I was earlier

854
00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: in my career, but regardless, you know, when you don't

855
00:40:07,200 --> 00:40:09,880
Speaker 1: get all that preseason works. It's valuable, and when everyone

856
00:40:09,920 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 1: else is getting it, they're starting just a little bit,

857
00:40:14,239 --> 00:40:16,600
Speaker 1: a little bit further ahead. How does the fact that

858
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:18,640
Speaker 1: these are all new guys around him to him? I mean,

859
00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,640
Speaker 1: it's all new for everybody. Think I have four brand

860
00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:24,759
Speaker 1: new starters who weren't teammates a year ago. How's that

861
00:40:24,800 --> 00:40:27,160
Speaker 1: going to affect their development? Right? And they're all in

862
00:40:27,239 --> 00:40:31,080
Speaker 1: a new offense, right, you know, so it could affect things, honestly,

863
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:34,600
Speaker 1: you know, I hope it doesn't. But continuity upfront is

864
00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 1: so big. Now. The one thing that helps continuity and

865
00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,480
Speaker 1: what can speed it up tremendously is when you have

866
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:45,640
Speaker 1: five intelligent offensive linemen. And from my understanding, a lot

867
00:40:45,719 --> 00:40:49,319
Speaker 1: of these guys were brought in because of their football intelligence.

868
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:52,680
Speaker 1: Those guys can mesh quicker. You know, We've brought guys

869
00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:54,759
Speaker 1: in on one week and played them and had no

870
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,640
Speaker 1: issues with them because they were so smart. We knew

871
00:40:57,680 --> 00:41:00,759
Speaker 1: exactly where they were going to be. And so, you know,

872
00:41:00,760 --> 00:41:03,760
Speaker 1: a lot's made of the continuity, and it is valuable.

873
00:41:04,120 --> 00:41:05,839
Speaker 1: But if you bring in guys that are smart, like

874
00:41:05,880 --> 00:41:08,839
Speaker 1: a guy like John Feliciano, a guy who's bouncing back

875
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,760
Speaker 1: before between Garden Center Spencer Long. You know, these guys,

876
00:41:14,200 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: you could kind of plug and play him and they're

877
00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:18,479
Speaker 1: not gonna be stepping on their center when Mitch comes

878
00:41:18,480 --> 00:41:21,360
Speaker 1: back and all that. You know, a guy like Cody Ford,

879
00:41:22,360 --> 00:41:24,959
Speaker 1: a rookie, you know you might want him playing next

880
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:26,720
Speaker 1: to Bors if he's going to be at right guard.

881
00:41:26,960 --> 00:41:29,399
Speaker 1: You know, when I watched the film last week, it

882
00:41:29,440 --> 00:41:31,360
Speaker 1: looked to me, now he was going against the twos,

883
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 1: it looked to me like Cody Ford still a little

884
00:41:33,080 --> 00:41:35,319
Speaker 1: bit more comfortable at tackle. A couple of his one

885
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:38,160
Speaker 1: on one sets, he set a little shallow on the

886
00:41:38,160 --> 00:41:41,000
Speaker 1: guy and he got edged around the on his outside.

887
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 1: That's a rookie being a touched him and in his

888
00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:46,680
Speaker 1: first action. The Colts also have the smallest defensive line

889
00:41:46,680 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: in the league, so it's easy to get edged by

890
00:41:49,040 --> 00:41:51,839
Speaker 1: those quick guys, especially in your first game action. Even

891
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,239
Speaker 1: though it is a preseason game, that intensity ramps up

892
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,799
Speaker 1: a little bit. I think he'll bounce back this week

893
00:41:56,800 --> 00:41:58,400
Speaker 1: and have a little bit better showing at guard if

894
00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,600
Speaker 1: he does play guard, if he's back out of tackle

895
00:42:00,680 --> 00:42:03,759
Speaker 1: because of injuries, he seems really comfortable out there. When

896
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:06,439
Speaker 1: I watched the film, would be on our broadcast tonight.

897
00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:08,240
Speaker 1: You got a big weekend, you got this game tonight,

898
00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:10,160
Speaker 1: and you got a baseball game to go to tomorrow.

899
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,200
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I'm throwing out the first pitch of the

900
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: Reds game tomorrow. Have you ever done anything like that?

901
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,239
Speaker 1: I have not. And uh, you know, the Reds of

902
00:42:16,320 --> 00:42:18,839
Speaker 1: my hometown team. I've always been a big fan. They

903
00:42:18,880 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: are slipping a touch right now, but they're still relevant.

904
00:42:21,520 --> 00:42:24,200
Speaker 1: In mid August, which is a big step for them.

905
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,319
Speaker 1: They played the Cardinals division rival day game, night game,

906
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:31,240
Speaker 1: night game, six forty pm, and they it is Johnny

907
00:42:31,280 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: Bench Bobblehead Night, and nothing brings the fans out in

908
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,279
Speaker 1: Cincinnati like a Bobblehead night. Now will he be there?

909
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,840
Speaker 1: He will be, and I am hoping I can maybe

910
00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 1: he catch. I know that would be super special. I mean,

911
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: he's a touch before my era. But but what a

912
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:53,479
Speaker 1: phenomenal baseball player, something like ten gold gloves, ten time

913
00:42:53,560 --> 00:42:56,319
Speaker 1: All Star. I mean he played in Buffalo. Did you

914
00:42:56,320 --> 00:42:58,560
Speaker 1: know he played minor league baseball Buffalo? But I actually

915
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:00,439
Speaker 1: saw a bio on him this week and he played

916
00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,040
Speaker 1: like ninety six games or something in Buffaloteen sixty eight.

917
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,480
Speaker 1: Let me tell you something, even at his age, if

918
00:43:05,520 --> 00:43:08,320
Speaker 1: your first pitch isn't that good, he'll field it. Yeah,

919
00:43:08,840 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: well the biggest I might need it. Are you gonna

920
00:43:11,239 --> 00:43:12,960
Speaker 1: stand down the rubber or do you kind of sneak up?

921
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:15,520
Speaker 1: I'm going off the rubber. I've been throwing a few

922
00:43:15,560 --> 00:43:18,520
Speaker 1: pitches this week at sixty feet six inches, which would

923
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:20,680
Speaker 1: be the rubber. The other day we kind of finagled

924
00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:22,799
Speaker 1: a deal in our gym where I was on a

925
00:43:22,880 --> 00:43:27,000
Speaker 1: twelve inch block and then through and stepped down to

926
00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,920
Speaker 1: a six inch block, so I got kind of the

927
00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:32,920
Speaker 1: bail of the mound. This first pitch phenomenon that you know,

928
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:35,480
Speaker 1: everybody kind of gets that. You see it now, If

929
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 1: you don't, you don't want to stink right right, So

930
00:43:38,160 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: it's good. It's good especially with get some social media now.

931
00:43:41,200 --> 00:43:44,440
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, it'll kill you. I know, if you

932
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,920
Speaker 1: go out there and throw one in the dirt, kill me.

933
00:43:47,120 --> 00:43:50,440
Speaker 1: Thanks for using such a colorful language. Oh yeah yeah,

934
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,360
Speaker 1: get that out of here. Will not be kind no,

935

966
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:32,239
Speaker 1: game number two? Dan on the line in Pennsylvania. Hello, Dan,

967
00:45:32,320 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. How are you doing? Okay? Great? Yes,

968
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: mister task. First of all, i'd like to say you

969
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:42,760
Speaker 1: should be in the Hall of Fame. I love watching

970
00:45:42,840 --> 00:45:45,879
Speaker 1: you play. But how do you think the running back

971
00:45:46,040 --> 00:45:50,360
Speaker 1: depth charts gonna shake out and the last receiver to

972
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:53,840
Speaker 1: make the roster? That's a good question. I'll tell you

973
00:45:53,840 --> 00:45:56,920
Speaker 1: what I think that the running backs are gonna be.

974
00:45:58,480 --> 00:46:00,880
Speaker 1: This is me from ten thousand feet, not knowing anything.

975
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:05,280
Speaker 1: It's gonna be Lashawn McCoy, Frank Gore, Devin Singletary, Sonoras Perry,

976
00:46:05,960 --> 00:46:10,600
Speaker 1: and either Marcus and probably Marcus Murphy. That's who I

977
00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:13,920
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be well. And then Patrick DeMarco, if

978
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:15,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna throw him in his fullback, he'll be this.

979
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 1: He'll be active every week as well in a thing.

980
00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:21,399
Speaker 1: So if they have that, it'll be McCoy, Gore, Singletary

981
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,160
Speaker 1: and probably Sonris Perry is a special teams guy for

982
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,240
Speaker 1: the four running backs, and Patrick DeMarco will be active

983
00:46:28,239 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 1: on game it there'll be five running backs there, and

984
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,359
Speaker 1: I think as a wide receiver, the fifth or six guy,

985
00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:37,719
Speaker 1: I think that is throw five right at this point.

986
00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:39,960
Speaker 1: I think there's like six guys or seven guys you

987
00:46:40,040 --> 00:46:41,799
Speaker 1: throw into a hat, and you could pick any one

988
00:46:41,800 --> 00:46:43,759
Speaker 1: of them and they could all do the exact same job,

989
00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:46,239
Speaker 1: and I think that you'll get a different, little bit

990
00:46:46,239 --> 00:46:48,120
Speaker 1: of different look in all of them. So if you say,

991
00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 1: if you think it's gonna be Duke Williams or Robert Foster,

992
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,680
Speaker 1: those guys are a little bit different, those that kind

993
00:46:54,680 --> 00:46:58,680
Speaker 1: of distinction you might make, But I think it's the

994
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,359
Speaker 1: top guys are cold easily, Zay Jones, John Brown, and

995
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,120
Speaker 1: I think then you get into a thing where it's

996
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,440
Speaker 1: gonna be Andre Roberts that's the fourth guy, and then

997
00:47:06,440 --> 00:47:09,600
Speaker 1: it's Robert Foster or Ray Ray, Ray McLeod, Isaiah McKenzie,

998
00:47:09,680 --> 00:47:14,440
Speaker 1: David Sills, Duke Williams, Nick Easily, Victor Bolden. We don't know.

999
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:16,920
Speaker 1: I don't think there's any way to call a horse

1000
00:47:16,920 --> 00:47:19,239
Speaker 1: in that race. I think that is up in the air.

1001
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:21,520
Speaker 1: You didn't ask me, But I think Robert Foster is

1002
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:28,280
Speaker 1: probably on the fifty three. So I got Brown, Foster, Jones, Beasley,

1003
00:47:28,719 --> 00:47:32,920
Speaker 1: Roberts is five and either Ray, Ray McLeod or Isaiah McKenzie.

1004
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 1: Maybe Cam Phillips says something to say about it. I

1005
00:47:35,719 --> 00:47:37,400
Speaker 1: think all those guys have something to say about it.

1006
00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:39,279
Speaker 1: I think we'll get a look at some of those

1007
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 1: guys tonight and it'll be interesting. But to see who

1008
00:47:41,520 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: plays well and who played well last week, and if

1009
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:46,759
Speaker 1: they can do it consistently, who's confim gamer, that's what

1010
00:47:46,760 --> 00:47:49,439
Speaker 1: we want to find out. Ryan and Lackawanna on the line. Hello, Ryan,

1011
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:56,160
Speaker 1: you're on the air with us it Ron. Okay, let's

1012
00:47:56,239 --> 00:47:59,040
Speaker 1: all right, goodly show guys. I watch it pretty much

1013
00:47:59,080 --> 00:48:03,120
Speaker 1: every day. My question, is the guy really interested? Is

1014
00:48:03,719 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 1: Generald Jackson of Summers All Picks. I've got a question.

1015
00:48:08,200 --> 00:48:12,600
Speaker 1: You say he's very athletic. If I if he can

1016
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,400
Speaker 1: play that special teams. I'm curious to though, if he's

1017
00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:20,480
Speaker 1: athletical to play right backers. I mean, he's got the lakes.

1018
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,919
Speaker 1: Maybe he want to put a little bit more weird

1019
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:25,319
Speaker 1: and then he can put both of these. Let's back,

1020
00:48:25,600 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 1: let's hear what you guys think. Yeah, I don't think

1021
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:31,040
Speaker 1: he can play all linebacker. Will be a whole new

1022
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:33,719
Speaker 1: world playing with his hand off the ground. You're right, though,

1023
00:48:33,760 --> 00:48:35,799
Speaker 1: he's a big long athlete. But when you talk about

1024
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,160
Speaker 1: big long athletes, who are you know, defensive ends, It's

1025
00:48:39,200 --> 00:48:41,080
Speaker 1: not just that easy to stand up with your hand

1026
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,000
Speaker 1: off the ground. I don't know that he can drop

1027
00:48:43,560 --> 00:48:45,920
Speaker 1: because I don't think I've never seen him run backwards,

1028
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:48,920
Speaker 1: you know, So I don't know if the guy's athletic

1029
00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:51,440
Speaker 1: enough to drop into coverage and swing his hips around

1030
00:48:51,520 --> 00:48:54,560
Speaker 1: and turn his shoulders and run. I don't know if

1031
00:48:54,560 --> 00:48:57,200
Speaker 1: he can do that. But I will say this about

1032
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:59,920
Speaker 1: your earlier point about him Europe. He can play special team.

1033
00:49:00,120 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 1: I've said it on the show a couple of times.

1034
00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,120
Speaker 1: I've seen him play special teams drills, and the guy

1035
00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 1: put in a full effort. He wanted to do it.

1036
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 1: He was enthusiastic about taking part in special teams. He

1037
00:49:10,040 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: was on the field and some special teams reps the

1038
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: other last week and against the Colts, and I think

1039
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,680
Speaker 1: Heath Farwell, special teams coordinator, has some high hopes for

1040
00:49:19,760 --> 00:49:23,960
Speaker 1: the kid. So he's hitting. I mean right now. For me,

1041
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,520
Speaker 1: there's been one game and some practice drills that I've seen,

1042
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:29,600
Speaker 1: and you know that, although it was a good game,

1043
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:32,600
Speaker 1: he checks a lot of boxes for a guy who

1044
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: needs to be on the roster. I don't know if

1045
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:37,839
Speaker 1: the coaches see it that way, but from where I'm

1046
00:49:37,880 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: sitting in the broadcast, boothing on the sidelines, not being

1047
00:49:40,480 --> 00:49:43,359
Speaker 1: any meetings and stuff. Like I said, the guy checks

1048
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:45,439
Speaker 1: a lot of boxes. Thanks for your call. We're gonna break.

1049

1085
00:51:44,600 --> 00:51:47,400
Speaker 1: struggled last night. Struggled with a snap. He was twice

1086
00:51:47,440 --> 00:51:49,560
Speaker 1: flaning for false starts during the first quarter of the

1087
00:51:49,600 --> 00:51:52,839
Speaker 1: preseason game against Oakland because of his cadence in which

1088
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,799
Speaker 1: he claps for the snap. Officials said he was too

1089
00:51:55,880 --> 00:51:58,400
Speaker 1: abrupt in his clap, not smooth enough as far as

1090
00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:01,279

Speaker 1: and Steve Tasker here in Charlotte. Good to talk with you. Well,

1115
00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:28,239
Speaker 1: you need no introduction, of course. It's an honor to

1116
00:53:28,320 --> 00:53:32,040
Speaker 1: be on with two legends. And watched your show on

1117
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:35,040
Speaker 1: the website. I saw Andrew on and just to be

1118
00:53:35,120 --> 00:53:38,080
Speaker 1: a small part of such a high quality broadcast product

1119
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:41,920
Speaker 1: is humbling, and I appreciate your offer to send the

1120
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 1: limo down to get me. But I'm just here at

1121
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 1: my modest flat in South Charlotte, preparing to win my

1122
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:56,840
Speaker 1: individual battle against you. Murph and Andrew on the air tonight. Wow,

1123
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 1: I didn't know we were going to a war. Mick,

1124
00:53:59,080 --> 00:54:01,279
Speaker 1: You're our new favorite. Just let me put it that way.

1125
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,040
Speaker 1: It's great hearing from you. Guid. We got to ask

1126
00:54:04,120 --> 00:54:05,839
Speaker 1: you what you think of the two days of joint

1127
00:54:05,920 --> 00:54:09,680
Speaker 1: practices between these two clubs. I was nervous about it.

1128
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:11,400
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just one guy. I don't try to

1129
00:54:11,440 --> 00:54:14,399
Speaker 1: coach the team from the press box, although some days

1130
00:54:14,440 --> 00:54:18,400
Speaker 1: that's not the worst idea I ever heard. But I

1131
00:54:18,560 --> 00:54:20,920
Speaker 1: just thought, you know, the human nature, you know, all

1132
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:22,799
Speaker 1: of us exist in it. And none of us are

1133
00:54:22,880 --> 00:54:27,000
Speaker 1: completely immune from it, and just the the intensity level

1134
00:54:27,080 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 1: Stephen and Murph, you know, people getting cowboyed up and

1135
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,440
Speaker 1: wanting to show out. And I think the veterans can

1136
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:36,040
Speaker 1: handle it. But I worried about a younger player free

1137
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,200
Speaker 1: agent signing from one or both teams trying to make

1138
00:54:39,239 --> 00:54:43,160
Speaker 1: a mark and somebody getting dinged unnecessarily. But you know

1139
00:54:43,239 --> 00:54:45,600
Speaker 1: then I thought about it for a few seconds and thought,

1140
00:54:46,360 --> 00:54:49,240
Speaker 1: the trust factor here is immense. I mean, Coach Rivera

1141
00:54:49,320 --> 00:54:51,920
Speaker 1: and his staff have an incredible amount of respect for

1142
00:54:52,200 --> 00:54:54,640
Speaker 1: our Buffalo brothers to the north that this would be

1143
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:58,279
Speaker 1: handled in a classy, productive, well organized way. So I'm

1144
00:54:58,719 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: kind of agreeing with what I you guys saying yesterday

1145
00:55:01,320 --> 00:55:04,200
Speaker 1: that some football people believe you can get more out

1146
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:07,440
Speaker 1: of work like this in a controlled environment than than

1147
00:55:07,520 --> 00:55:12,440
Speaker 1: even in a preseason game setting like tonight. I'll tell him, Mick,

1148
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:16,640
Speaker 1: watching the practices and obviously you do prep work on

1149
00:55:16,760 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: Bill's opponents, but to see the Panthers and to see

1150
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,800
Speaker 1: that collection of talent really impressed me. There's there's a

1151
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 1: ton of talent on the Carolina Panthers team, isn't there?

1152
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,920
Speaker 1: And it got it got increased during this past offseason.

1153
00:55:28,480 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 1: I think I think so. And you know, I'm not

1154
00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,960
Speaker 1: just saying this because of Brandon and Sean and Heath

1155
00:55:35,080 --> 00:55:38,680
Speaker 1: and and the organizational DNA that we share. I just

1156
00:55:38,840 --> 00:55:43,240
Speaker 1: think that that from a cultural standpoint, from a value

1157
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:47,840
Speaker 1: work ethic morals, get be good in the community. You know,

1158
00:55:47,880 --> 00:55:50,800
Speaker 1: the Panthers are just getting going. Buffalo has a great history.

1159
00:55:50,880 --> 00:55:54,600
Speaker 1: The Bills are ingrained in the psyche, the minds of souls,

1160
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,320
Speaker 1: the hearts of of people all over the Southeast and

1161
00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 1: the North and the nation. And that's what the Panthers

1162
00:56:00,960 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 1: aspired to. To get that, you gotta win something, you know,

1163
00:56:04,200 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 1: you gotta be splashy, you gotta bring absolute victory or

1164
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:10,680
Speaker 1: get close anyway to your fan base. And I think

1165
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:12,920
Speaker 1: these two teams are so similar. I can't wait to

1166
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: follow the Bills all year. I think you guys have

1167
00:56:15,080 --> 00:56:18,600
Speaker 1: an intriguing schedule, and Murph like you were saying, why

1168
00:56:18,680 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 1: you know, why not get off When you look at

1169
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,840
Speaker 1: buffalo schedule, why not get off to a five and

1170
00:56:22,960 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 1: one at least a four and two? Start with how

1171
00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 1: it falls early in the season. How do you guys

1172
00:56:27,200 --> 00:56:32,480
Speaker 1: read it? Well, it certainly would be nice to experience that.

1173
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,279
Speaker 1: But with all the question marks on the offensive side

1174
00:56:35,320 --> 00:56:37,640
Speaker 1: of the ball, you know, everybody's kind of saying, let's

1175
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:39,360
Speaker 1: wait and see, and you know we're gonna get a

1176
00:56:39,480 --> 00:56:41,600
Speaker 1: chance to see this team come together offensively over the

1177
00:56:41,680 --> 00:56:43,920
Speaker 1: next three weeks. Here in the preseason tonight against the

1178
00:56:43,960 --> 00:56:46,279
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers, we want to ask you a little bit

1179
00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,840
Speaker 1: about your team last year. Off to the rocket start,

1180
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:50,759
Speaker 1: get off to the five and one start or six

1181
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 1: and one start, and then you know it kind of

1182
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:55,440
Speaker 1: went downhill from there, and a lot of that from

1183
00:56:55,440 --> 00:56:58,000
Speaker 1: the outside looking in, it's almost one hundred percent from

1184
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:01,239
Speaker 1: us saying, well, your quarterback had a bum shoulder and

1185
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 1: couldn't throw the football and it kind of sabotaged your season.

1186
00:57:03,920 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 1: Is that the way that Carolina fancy it? Indeed, But

1187
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:10,439
Speaker 1: there's a little more to it than that. This defense, Leaman,

1188
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:12,840
Speaker 1: we're all adults. Let's just call it for what it is.

1189
00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:15,160
Speaker 1: And I wasn't trying to dodge Murf's question earlier. He's

1190
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: right on it that the Panthers are talented a lot

1191
00:57:17,400 --> 00:57:21,400
Speaker 1: like the Bills and have playoff and deep aspirations to

1192
00:57:21,480 --> 00:57:24,200
Speaker 1: double digit wins in a great year. Winning the Gerald

1193
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:28,080
Speaker 1: McCoy sweepstakes in the offseason. Bringing Bruce Irving in Audrey

1194
00:57:28,200 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 1: Robinson at a receiver Matt partis centered in addition to

1195
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: what's already there, I think gives Panther fans hope and

1196
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: and you know, to your point, Steve, I think that

1197
00:57:37,960 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 1: the Panthers had a defense last year that was just

1198
00:57:40,760 --> 00:57:43,920
Speaker 1: not Panther like it was. Carolina got gashed in the

1199
00:57:44,000 --> 00:57:47,600
Speaker 1: run game. It was not as much affecting the pocket

1200
00:57:47,760 --> 00:57:51,560
Speaker 1: as Carolina Panther defense is aspired to. So I think

1201
00:57:51,640 --> 00:57:54,200
Speaker 1: that Carolina has addressed that you'll see the Panthers in

1202
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:57,080
Speaker 1: a three four alignment a lot tonight. You will see

1203
00:57:57,400 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 1: and I don't think there's gonna be a lot of

1204
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,120
Speaker 1: exotic blitz package is dialed up, but therein they've been installed.

1205
00:58:02,160 --> 00:58:06,200
Speaker 1: And so the stated goal of this team be disruptive,

1206
00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:10,520
Speaker 1: get to the quarterback, force more turnovers, give the offense

1207
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:13,440
Speaker 1: some shorter fields, and let's try to be a complete team.

1208
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:17,440
Speaker 1: In twenty nineteen, I was telling you the other day

1209
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:20,520
Speaker 1: watching practice, Miccowan, presste was, I'm sure you were two.

1210
00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:24,680
Speaker 1: With Brian Burns, Carolina's first round draft pick from FSU.

1211
00:58:24,840 --> 00:58:26,760
Speaker 1: He may not play tonight. Huh. He banged up his

1212
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,760
Speaker 1: shoulder in practice the other day and an ankle, but

1213
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: other than that, he's healthy. Other than upper body and

1214
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:37,600
Speaker 1: lower body. He could go. But yeah, don't you like

1215
00:58:37,840 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 1: this this kind of twitchy, long willowy athlete that that's

1216
00:58:43,400 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: not afraid to set an edge and target a hip

1217
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: and support the run game in a robust way. And

1218
00:58:49,560 --> 00:58:52,680
Speaker 1: Eric Washington are de coordinator guys? He said, um, he

1219
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:55,120
Speaker 1: said that Burns is a good listener and he's a

1220
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:59,520
Speaker 1: good asker of questions. So those qualities, combined with his

1221
00:58:59,600 --> 00:59:03,960
Speaker 1: obvious physical tools make the best I think yet to

1222
00:59:04,040 --> 00:59:08,360
Speaker 1: be for the Panthers first round draft pick. Let's talk

1223
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:10,320
Speaker 1: a little bit about Cam Newton. How has he looked

1224
00:59:10,360 --> 00:59:13,080
Speaker 1: to you? I mean you've observed him for his entire

1225
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:16,520
Speaker 1: career and probably saw the drop off in his ability

1226
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,120
Speaker 1: to throw the football last year. How has this offseason

1227
00:59:19,240 --> 00:59:22,400
Speaker 1: progressed and what's he looked like now compared to the

1228
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:26,960
Speaker 1: MVP candidate we've seen. It was hard to watch last

1229
00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,760
Speaker 1: year Steve when his shoulder got heard and there was

1230
00:59:30,840 --> 00:59:33,440
Speaker 1: one hit he took in the Pittsburgh game. The Panthers

1231
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:37,800
Speaker 1: went to Pittsburgh on short rest, and just didn't pee

1232
00:59:37,840 --> 00:59:40,640
Speaker 1: a drip. I mean, it was just very tough sledding

1233
00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:43,440
Speaker 1: up there. And Newton got tattooed on the shoulder early on,

1234
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:46,919
Speaker 1: and from that point on he just was not the same.

1235
00:59:47,120 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: Defense is quickly vibed into the fact that the mid

1236
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 1: range game did not have the snap and rhythm to it,

1237
00:59:53,160 --> 00:59:55,680
Speaker 1: and then Newton could not throw the deep ball, and

1238
00:59:55,920 --> 00:59:58,640
Speaker 1: so they started crowding. The Panthers started trying to bracket

1239
00:59:58,800 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 1: McCaffrey br that eight, sometimes even a ninth defender down

1240
01:00:03,560 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 1: and and it was it was very very hard. Newton

1241
01:00:07,240 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: gamily soldiered on, but he was he wasn't right. He

1242
01:00:11,480 --> 01:00:15,600
Speaker 1: had surgery in the offseason, and he's made every single

1243
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:19,040
Speaker 1: throw from the second the green light dropped at training

1244
01:00:19,080 --> 01:00:21,920
Speaker 1: camp on July the twenty fourth. Newton has thrown the

1245
01:00:21,960 --> 01:00:25,120
Speaker 1: ball at walkthroughs, He's thrown it on the sideline, he's

1246
01:00:25,160 --> 01:00:27,120
Speaker 1: thrown it in the game. Now he's not chucking at

1247
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:30,360
Speaker 1: eighty yards, but he has thrown some forty and fifty

1248
01:00:30,440 --> 01:00:34,640
Speaker 1: yards passes downfield that looked like they were shot out

1249
01:00:34,640 --> 01:00:38,360
Speaker 1: of a cannon. So if he's not right, then why

1250
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:40,840
Speaker 1: is he making all these throws? I think I think

1251
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,320
Speaker 1: he feels terrific, I really do. And we'll see him tonight, right,

1252
01:00:45,400 --> 01:00:49,200
Speaker 1: mec elits a little bit, We'll see Cam Newton. That's

1253
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,440
Speaker 1: the rumor going around, Yeah, Murph. I think that's what

1254
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: the coaches wanted to do, and I think that's what

1255
01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,200
Speaker 1: Cam wants to do. Earlier in the week, there was

1256
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 1: a thought that if he got a lot of good

1257
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 1: work in against your defense, that maybe he might sit

1258
01:01:01,360 --> 01:01:04,840
Speaker 1: out tonight. And I'm not a gambler, but I'd probably

1259
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,760
Speaker 1: say it's eighty twenty in favor of tonight that he

1260
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:11,880
Speaker 1: plays a little bit to start the game. Yeah, And

1261
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,600
Speaker 1: that's been a key And what was your assessment of

1262
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:17,760
Speaker 1: you know, how important these two practice days where we've

1263
01:01:17,800 --> 01:01:20,120
Speaker 1: been going over and over all week about the benefits

1264
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 1: of it, you know, going against new faces, seeing different techniques,

1265
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,480
Speaker 1: seeing a different defensive scheme from Carolina, getting down in

1266
01:01:26,520 --> 01:01:28,880
Speaker 1: the heat. And that's all on Buffalo's side of it.

1267
01:01:29,240 --> 01:01:31,560
Speaker 1: What about for the Panthers? What did they get out

1268
01:01:31,600 --> 01:01:37,680
Speaker 1: of it? Well? I think as Proverbs twenty seven seventeen

1269
01:01:37,800 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: that says that as iron sharpens iron, so man sharpens

1270
01:01:40,960 --> 01:01:44,320
Speaker 1: one another. And I think both of these teams grinding

1271
01:01:44,400 --> 01:01:47,360
Speaker 1: on each other for two days, trying to hone the

1272
01:01:47,480 --> 01:01:50,560
Speaker 1: razor sharp edge of a champion. You could you could

1273
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 1: argue that it's not only valuable, but it's necessary to

1274
01:01:54,800 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 1: get that work in to see to see what you

1275
01:01:57,800 --> 01:02:03,240
Speaker 1: look like against someone else whose quality a different scheme.

1276
01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 1: I think that for the Panthers, one of the huge

1277
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:10,040
Speaker 1: things was to see how this offense could look against

1278
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:13,240
Speaker 1: two of the best high employer are two of my

1279
01:02:13,360 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 1: favorite safeties in the free world. I just I love

1280
01:02:16,600 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 1: watching Buffalo play pass defense, and I love watching that

1281
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,360
Speaker 1: front four and that the linebackers. Just you guys last

1282
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 1: year were a handful. I know the season didn't unfold

1283
01:02:25,800 --> 01:02:28,320
Speaker 1: for either of us like we wanted, but that defense

1284
01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,040
Speaker 1: against the past was something else. And to be that

1285
01:02:32,240 --> 01:02:35,160
Speaker 1: sound in the back. It's hard to complete passes again,

1286
01:02:35,160 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: it's hard to get into a rhythm again, it's hard

1287
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,040
Speaker 1: to get first down and drive the ball again. So

1288
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:42,320
Speaker 1: I think the Panther offense got a lot of really

1289
01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:47,720
Speaker 1: good diagnostic work in that peatree dish on Tuesday and Wednesday. Hey,

1290
01:02:48,240 --> 01:02:50,520
Speaker 1: a lot made this week about the connections and the

1291
01:02:51,200 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: people back and forth bills in Carolina. You know, we

1292
01:02:53,560 --> 01:02:55,160
Speaker 1: have not talked much about, at least on our show.

1293
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:58,480
Speaker 1: Is Ken Darcy, who is now Josh Allen's quarterbacks coach

1294
01:02:58,800 --> 01:03:01,000
Speaker 1: and was quarterbacks coach here for a couple of years,

1295
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 1: just a couple of years ago. What do you what

1296
01:03:03,160 --> 01:03:05,720
Speaker 1: impact do you think the Bills can expect from Ken

1297
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:09,880
Speaker 1: Dorsey for Josh Allen. I think Ken Dorsey's a natural

1298
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: born teacher and coach. I think he's young enough and

1299
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: he's gotten the pedigree that he's been there. Five minutes ago,

1300
01:03:16,920 --> 01:03:19,880
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey was slinging it around and and it's not

1301
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,760
Speaker 1: like he's some old, gray, gray headed, old curmudgeonly old

1302
01:03:22,800 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 1: ball coach that's trying to tell you how it was

1303
01:03:25,200 --> 01:03:28,080
Speaker 1: back in the day before the day. So I'm guessing

1304
01:03:28,600 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 1: that in that quarterback room, Ken Dorsey trades with a

1305
01:03:31,480 --> 01:03:34,080
Speaker 1: lot of currency and a lot of respect. Would you

1306
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:38,280
Speaker 1: say that that's accurate? I would guess, yeah, not being

1307
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:39,760
Speaker 1: in that room, but I would say he does. I

1308
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:43,360
Speaker 1: think his playing career and his ability to relate to

1309
01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 1: the young guys probably goes a long way, wouldn't you say? See? Yeah?

1310
01:03:46,200 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 1: I think so. I think players respond to a guy

1311
01:03:48,080 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: whose mindset is that of a player rather than a coach,

1312
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:53,120
Speaker 1: and I think it it puts them in a different

1313
01:03:53,160 --> 01:03:55,160
Speaker 1: perspective as well. I want to also ask you about

1314
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,680
Speaker 1: a couple of guys who were former Buffalo Bills as well,

1315
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 1: Keevan Seymour, Chris mann Hurts, the Canisius basketball player. Who's

1316
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:05,439
Speaker 1: really When when I saw man Hurts, I was like, Wow,

1317
01:04:05,520 --> 01:04:07,760
Speaker 1: that he's a different guy. He has really worked on

1318
01:04:07,840 --> 01:04:11,120
Speaker 1: his game in the Panthers organization. Whatever Chris man Hurts

1319
01:04:11,160 --> 01:04:13,600
Speaker 1: gives him a tight end the Panthers can take credit

1320
01:04:13,640 --> 01:04:15,800
Speaker 1: for because he's developed over the last couple of years.

1321
01:04:15,800 --> 01:04:17,640
Speaker 1: And Man Hurt himself, I know it's worked very hard

1322
01:04:17,680 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 1: on it. He has worked hard. I'm not the big

1323
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,160
Speaker 1: metaphysical guy. I don't try to decode the universe and

1324
01:04:25,320 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 1: how it unfolds. But I had a dream during training

1325
01:04:28,240 --> 01:04:31,120
Speaker 1: camp that the Panthers won the Super Bowl and Chris

1326
01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 1: Manhurts was not the MVP. But in my dream, he

1327
01:04:33,840 --> 01:04:36,760
Speaker 1: made two huge plays to help the Panthers win the

1328
01:04:36,800 --> 01:04:40,600
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. I haven't shared that with man Hurts, but

1329
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 1: I would appreciate it if you guys would keep it private.

1330
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:47,760
Speaker 1: But Man Hurts, you could see that happening. I mean,

1331
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 1: he's he's got one career touchdown passed, and Christian McCaffrey

1332
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,160
Speaker 1: was the one that threw that to him. So I

1333
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,200
Speaker 1: think Man Hurts needs to go over in the quarterback

1334
01:04:56,320 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: room and say, you know, don't forget about the eighty

1335
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,680
Speaker 1: two guys. You know, just a open so get it

1336
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:04,480
Speaker 1: to me. Yeah, you know, I have dreams like that too, Mick,

1337
01:05:04,560 --> 01:05:06,400
Speaker 1: Now that you mentioned it, isn't it weird. It's it's

1338
01:05:06,400 --> 01:05:11,000
Speaker 1: a weird thing. I'm staring Mick. I'm staring at mursh

1339
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 1: Now it is kind of weird. I think you should

1340
01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:16,440
Speaker 1: go in. Hey, we gotta thank you for being on

1341
01:05:16,560 --> 01:05:19,200
Speaker 1: the show with us here today. But yeah, we want

1342
01:05:19,200 --> 01:05:20,720
Speaker 1: to thank you for being on the show with us today.

1343
01:05:20,760 --> 01:05:23,800
Speaker 1: Steve wants to thank you. You're basically providing us a

1344
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: free pass. As long as we were about your side

1345
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:28,680
Speaker 1: at practice in Spartanburg, we can go anywhere we want it.

1346
01:05:28,720 --> 01:05:30,560
Speaker 1: We got a chance to go down between the fields

1347
01:05:30,560 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: because we saw Mick standing there. We thought, well, no,

1348
01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:34,720
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna touch Mick. We'll go down stand with him.

1349
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:36,680
Speaker 1: Then you are our meal ticket to get close up,

1350
01:05:36,800 --> 01:05:39,160
Speaker 1: up close in person with the team. Periods when both

1351
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,520
Speaker 1: offenses and defense were working against and one another. We

1352
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:43,880
Speaker 1: knew we were safe standing next to you, even though

1353
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,760
Speaker 1: we were probably egregiously outside our boundaries. So thanks for that.

1354
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,080
Speaker 1: To no, I will tell you as we hang up,

1355
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,560
Speaker 1: I'll exactly how it happened. It was embarrassing for me

1356
01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 1: personally and professionally to have Panther fans under their breath

1357
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:58,640
Speaker 1: on the sideline saying, who's that skinny guy out there

1358
01:05:58,680 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 1: standing with John Murphy and Steve Tasker. That didn't happen

1359
01:06:05,120 --> 01:06:07,440
Speaker 1: any Hey, mc thanks, we'll see you tonight. Have a

1360
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:12,440
Speaker 1: great broadcast. Thank you, sounds good. Appreciate. Phillis mcmixon is

1361
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,120
Speaker 1: the play by play voice of the Carolina Panthers. He's

1362
01:06:15,120 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: a funny guy. He cracked me up three or four times.

1363
01:06:17,920 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 1: He's really great, got a great mentality, a great, great person,

1364
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:24,160
Speaker 1: and he could tell from his from his from his

1365
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:26,400
Speaker 1: interview that we just had. He's just he didn't take

1366
01:06:26,480 --> 01:06:28,520
Speaker 1: himself too seriously, but he knows what he's talking about.

1367
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,640
Speaker 1: That's a great place to be. It's a nice, nice broadcast.

1368
01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:32,640
Speaker 1: I'm sure you know what he said that I've never

1369
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:35,720
Speaker 1: heard anybody acknowledge before. Right early on in his segment

1370
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:38,160
Speaker 1: with us year and he's talking about the Panthers, and yeah,

1371
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:40,760
Speaker 1: all right, the Panthers, what ninety five was their first season,

1372
01:06:40,800 --> 01:06:43,840
Speaker 1: So what's at twenty four years now? And the Bills

1373
01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 1: have been around sixty probably twenty fifth year. Yeah. But

1374
01:06:46,560 --> 01:06:50,440
Speaker 1: when he said the Bills, uh, you know, the Bills

1375
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 1: he said kind of have this national consciousness that the

1376
01:06:53,640 --> 01:06:57,280
Speaker 1: Carolina Panthers don't have. And I thought he's kind of right, right.

1377
01:06:57,400 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 1: I mean, yes, there's Bill Bills fans here, Bills fans

1378
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 1: all over the country, but an awareness of the Buffalo

1379
01:07:02,680 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 1: Bills that I think we kind of take for granted.

1380
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:07,200
Speaker 1: It's it's interesting to hear the outside of Buffalo perspective

1381
01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:09,440
Speaker 1: from a guy who follows the league and knows a

1382
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,480
Speaker 1: little bit about NFL history and knows that this is

1383
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: a sixty year old franchise that that is its own brand.

1384
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,320
Speaker 1: It really is. Yeah, it's it's fun to think about that.

1385
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:22,040
Speaker 1: Other people think about the Buffalo Bills franchise like that

1386
01:07:22,120 --> 01:07:24,680
Speaker 1: as an old time kind of franchise, right, I never

1387
01:07:24,800 --> 01:07:26,800
Speaker 1: established like that. Plus, I think the one thing about

1388
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo the dynamic, and there's a lot of things that

1389
01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:31,120
Speaker 1: make our town in our city unique and our team unique.

1390
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,040
Speaker 1: That we kind of take for granted. One thing is this,

1391
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,640
Speaker 1: and whether we like it or not, people move away

1392
01:07:36,680 --> 01:07:38,880
Speaker 1: from Buffalo, they don't retire to Buffalo. So you've got

1393
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 1: people coming to the South, and they spread out all

1394
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:44,120
Speaker 1: over the southeastern United States and something even some on

1395
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:46,400
Speaker 1: the West coast there. There are Bills backers bars out

1396
01:07:46,440 --> 01:07:49,440
Speaker 1: there and and a lot of franchises have that, but

1397
01:07:49,800 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 1: Buffalo fans seem to and I said this on the

1398
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 1: radio today here in Carolina, this franchise is part of

1399
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:01,840
Speaker 1: the identity of being from Western New York. It's not that,

1400
01:08:01,920 --> 01:08:03,920
Speaker 1: Yeah'm from Pittsburgh, and yeah, I am all. I am

1401
01:08:04,320 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 1: a Pittsburgh fan, you know, I am. Yeah. But when

1402
01:08:06,520 --> 01:08:09,880
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills fans are out and about that, the team

1403
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:14,120
Speaker 1: is a rallying point and a touch and a touchstone

1404
01:08:14,320 --> 01:08:16,720
Speaker 1: for everybody who is from Western New York to touch

1405
01:08:16,760 --> 01:08:20,000
Speaker 1: base in the other city. They reach out to each other. Uh,

1406
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:24,200
Speaker 1: it's what binds them together when they're away from Buffalo,

1407
01:08:24,320 --> 01:08:26,280
Speaker 1: even in their later lives, when they retire or where

1408
01:08:26,280 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 1: they move, you know, early in life. This team is

1409
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:33,599
Speaker 1: the kind of uniting factor as you think it would.

1410
01:08:33,600 --> 01:08:37,200
Speaker 1: And I think it's more of the a touchstone for

1411
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:39,360
Speaker 1: people from the region of western New York than than

1412
01:08:39,439 --> 01:08:41,840
Speaker 1: for other franchises. And I think that's something that we

1413
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 1: witnessed the other night in the Spartanburger in Greenville, South Carolina.

1414
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,479
Speaker 1: Total strangers who were good friends because of they're a

1415
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 1: shared fanship of the of the Bills. It's I think

1416
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,600
Speaker 1: there is something unique about it in Buffalo that that

1417
01:08:56,880 --> 01:09:00,639
Speaker 1: other places, other fans. While there are fans of other

1418
01:09:01,160 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: franchises around everywhere, Bills fans seem to have a different

1419
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 1: kind of personality about it, and I think it is unique. Yeah.

1420
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:10,679
Speaker 1: Interesting to hear Mick articulate that, and he's very articulate.

1421
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:12,439
Speaker 1: I'd love talking to him. A good guy. Thanks to

1422
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,439
Speaker 1: him for joining us on the show. We're still continue on.

01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,400

01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 1: the official movers of the Buffalo Bills. The tweet sheet.

1465
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 1: What are you most looking forward to in tonight's preseason game?

1466
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:31,200
Speaker 1: James tweets in I want to see the defense continue

1467
01:11:31,280 --> 01:11:33,840
Speaker 1: it's strong preseason. I want to see the offense start

1468
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:37,160
Speaker 1: catching up to the defense. Some solidification on the offensive

1469
01:11:37,200 --> 01:11:40,479
Speaker 1: line will be a plus. Consistency in all phases. Can't

1470
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:42,639
Speaker 1: get a very strong read in this offense until guys

1471
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:45,120
Speaker 1: are healthy, Go Bills. You're right, James, Right, Until the

1472
01:11:45,160 --> 01:11:47,040
Speaker 1: offensive line is set, it's hard to get a read

1473
01:11:47,080 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 1: on how good they're going to be in the whole

1474
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 1: offense is going to be. I have a feeling that

1475
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:53,600
Speaker 1: by this time next week you will probably have a

1476
01:11:53,680 --> 01:11:56,000
Speaker 1: pretty good sense of what the offensive line's gonna look

1477
01:11:56,040 --> 01:11:58,519
Speaker 1: like because people are getting healthier. Right, Mitch Hordson is

1478
01:11:58,520 --> 01:12:01,800
Speaker 1: progressing through a concussion product. Yeah, and he's the lynch

1479
01:12:01,880 --> 01:12:03,880
Speaker 1: pin that everybody wants to see play and how things

1480
01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,840
Speaker 1: are gonna shake out. You know, when he's released to

1481
01:12:06,880 --> 01:12:10,920
Speaker 1: go full, when he goes to center, I want to

1482
01:12:10,920 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: see who's around him because and what that's gonna look like,

1483
01:12:13,520 --> 01:12:16,200
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be the moment when we're gonna say, Okay,

1484
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,120
Speaker 1: now I see what they see and we have guesses.

1485
01:12:18,479 --> 01:12:20,240
Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, I mean that's just it, we're guessing.

1486
01:12:20,840 --> 01:12:22,960
Speaker 1: I think Spain is going to be the left guard,

1487
01:12:23,080 --> 01:12:26,599
Speaker 1: Dawkins the left tackle. Right guard I guess is up

1488
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 1: in the air. I would I would hope that it

1489
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:30,200
Speaker 1: might be Cody Ford and then Secki at right tackle.

1490
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:33,559
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about tonight because more will not play right,

1491
01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:36,400
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure about the Chasecki who got a

1492
01:12:36,439 --> 01:12:39,400
Speaker 1: little banged up in practice two days ago. Right, But

1493
01:12:40,160 --> 01:12:41,599
Speaker 1: I think we'll have a pretty good sense. I think

1494
01:12:41,760 --> 01:12:43,320
Speaker 1: so too. I think so too. We've also got some

1495
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:45,360
Speaker 1: more people From the tweet sheet from Jack, he says,

01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,200
Speaker 1: Josh Allen's gonna get in for about what he did

1508
01:13:18,280 --> 01:13:20,200
Speaker 1: last is somewhere around where he did last week, maybe

1509
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,920
Speaker 1: a little more, maybe a little less. But Josh Allen's

1510
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:25,439
Speaker 1: not gonna be in enough to get five or six efficient.

1511
01:13:25,720 --> 01:13:27,400
Speaker 1: If he's doing five drives, they're all gonna be three

1512
01:13:27,400 --> 01:13:30,320
Speaker 1: and ounce, which is what you don't right boom, he

1513
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:34,880
Speaker 1: won't even be in for that. So yeah, that's uh yeah,

1514
01:13:34,960 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 1: you want to see Josh du Well not of course,

1515
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:39,719
Speaker 1: but I can feel for you. With the wide receivers,

1516
01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:42,120
Speaker 1: you'll probably get a better chance instead of seeing more

1517
01:13:42,120 --> 01:13:44,760
Speaker 1: of Brown, Beasley, Jones and Foster, you are gonna get

1518
01:13:44,800 --> 01:13:46,519
Speaker 1: a chance to grab a hold of the six wide

1519
01:13:46,560 --> 01:13:50,599
Speaker 1: receiver spot with some of those guys McLeod, McKenzie, Phillips, uh,

1520
01:13:51,680 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 1: Duke Williams, all the rest of those guys. Uh you

1521
01:13:55,520 --> 01:13:58,519
Speaker 1: know Bolden, Victor Bolden, all of those guys. So you're

1522
01:13:58,520 --> 01:14:00,360
Speaker 1: gonna get a chance to see a lot of backup

1523
01:14:00,439 --> 01:14:03,280
Speaker 1: wide receivers to get out there, and you're gonna see

1524
01:14:03,360 --> 01:14:06,320
Speaker 1: probably they're gonna be catching passes from Tyree Jackson and

1525
01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,320
Speaker 1: Matt Barkley. And look, I want to say and I

1526
01:14:08,360 --> 01:14:10,439
Speaker 1: want I'm trying to set this up for next hour

1527
01:14:10,479 --> 01:14:13,360
Speaker 1: when Chris Brown is here, just like last week when

1528
01:14:13,439 --> 01:14:16,840
Speaker 1: they were unexpected contributors and performers, we were not looking

1529
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:20,360
Speaker 1: for thinking much about I'm thinking of you, Daryl Johnson.

1530
01:14:20,439 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of several other guys, a couple of other

1531
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:25,599
Speaker 1: guys tonight. They'll be guys that we haven't even mentioned.

1532
01:14:25,680 --> 01:14:28,000
Speaker 1: We're gonna make a play or two and we're gonna say, whoa,

1533
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:31,519
Speaker 1: maybe he's got a chance. So don't answer now, all right,

1534
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,560
Speaker 1: next hour with Brownie, we'll get that. What are we

1535
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:37,479
Speaker 1: talking about? The the unexpected uh playmaker from tonight? We'll

1536
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,840
Speaker 1: do that with Brownie, right, Yeah, it's good. I just

1537
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,599
Speaker 1: we'll get a sponsor. Yeah. The flavor of the week

1538
01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:45,400
Speaker 1: has been Daryl Johnson, right, because he kind of flew

1539
01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:47,200
Speaker 1: into our consciousness with a couple of sacks and a

1540
01:14:47,240 --> 01:14:49,680
Speaker 1: bad being all this bad ball Force final I can

1541
01:14:49,760 --> 01:14:53,120
Speaker 1: remember barely mentioned Darryl Johnson before last week's game. He

1542
01:14:53,200 --> 01:14:55,479
Speaker 1: wasn't even on a radar, right, And there'll be somebody

1543
01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,920
Speaker 1: like that tonight for the Bills. You're sure, you're sure.

1544
01:14:58,120 --> 01:15:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure. You're pretty sure. Somebody that's not really

1545
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:02,559
Speaker 1: on the rain era that we haven't talked about all week,

1546
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 1: who's gonna make play close to a prediction, as John

1547
01:15:04,680 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: Murphy will ever get. Somebody will be like that. From

1548
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:09,559
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet from Rob. When we asked the question

1549
01:15:09,640 --> 01:15:11,160
Speaker 1: what are you looking for tonight? Who are you gonna

1550
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,680
Speaker 1: be watching? Rob says, without hesitation, I'm looking for Ed

1551
01:15:14,720 --> 01:15:19,360
Speaker 1: Oliver to sat Cam Newton five times, hopefully have the

1552
01:15:19,400 --> 01:15:22,600
Speaker 1: same look on his face when Yeah, for those of

1553
01:15:22,640 --> 01:15:25,479
Speaker 1: you who haven't seen it on social media, they caught

1554
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,160
Speaker 1: it on a phone where Cam Newton is taught, and

1555
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: he talked all week. I mean the players said it.

1556
01:15:30,160 --> 01:15:32,960
Speaker 1: Cam just does that right, He's talking, He's talking chunk

1557
01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:36,519
Speaker 1: all day. And Captain Munderland, who's a new Buffalo Bill

1558
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:39,560
Speaker 1: is very acquainted with Cam Newton. Their teammates for a

1559
01:15:39,640 --> 01:15:43,439
Speaker 1: while for a long time. So Captain Munderland is talking

1560
01:15:43,520 --> 01:15:45,840
Speaker 1: right back at him there, back and forth, and Cam

1561
01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,640
Speaker 1: Newton starts talking about Ed Oliver. He didn't call him

1562
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:50,600
Speaker 1: at Aliver. He calls him ninety one, doesn't even know

1563
01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 1: his name right, and tell him how they're gonna wear

1564
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:56,240
Speaker 1: him out, wear him out. He's gonna need a gas mask,

1565
01:15:56,240 --> 01:15:58,479
Speaker 1: he's gonna need an oxygen ten whatever. He says, you know,

1566
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,240
Speaker 1: an asthma pump or something, and Ed Oliver did not

1567
01:16:02,320 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 1: answer him, but he did give him a look, oh yeah,

1568
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:10,479
Speaker 1: like yeah, I look like we all would want him

1569
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:14,960
Speaker 1: to give him a look, right. So to me as

1570
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:22,000
Speaker 1: a former player, Ed Oliver's gonna be have the throttle

1571
01:16:22,120 --> 01:16:24,240
Speaker 1: all the way up when he gets in there, if

1572
01:16:24,280 --> 01:16:26,280
Speaker 1: he's in there when Cam Newton's taking snaps, if Cam

1573
01:16:26,360 --> 01:16:30,000
Speaker 1: Newton takes any snaps, that is gonna be I want

1574
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:32,360
Speaker 1: to see it too. Yeah, five times to be nice.

1575
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 1: The next tweet is about that too, I think. Yeah.

1576
01:16:34,280 --> 01:16:37,920
Speaker 1: And from seth he says, oh, from sipping the kool aid,

1577
01:16:37,960 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 1: he says, I'm looking to see how aggressively at Oliver

1578
01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,559
Speaker 1: goes after Cam Newton after Cam's comments to number ninety

1579
01:16:43,600 --> 01:16:46,320
Speaker 1: one in his conversation with Captain Munerman. That's exactly what

1580
01:16:46,400 --> 01:16:49,000
Speaker 1: we're talking about. I think that. I think that's set

1581
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: up for a little statement on at Oliver's part. A

1582
01:16:53,800 --> 01:16:55,760
Speaker 1: couple of phone calls as we asked the question what

1583
01:16:55,920 --> 01:16:58,400
Speaker 1: are you looking for tonight? From the Bills preseason game

1584
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:02,080
Speaker 1: number two? Dave on the line from Florida. Hello, Dave,

1585
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:04,479
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hey doing nothing,

1586
01:17:04,479 --> 01:17:08,640
Speaker 1: that guys, great? Good Listen. What I'm looking forward is,

1587
01:17:08,680 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking to see who we're going to settle on

1588
01:17:10,360 --> 01:17:13,439
Speaker 1: this offensive line. And I want to see who matches

1589
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: up because I want to see the running game and

1590
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:18,519
Speaker 1: I want to see Shady good his takes. That's what

1591
01:17:18,640 --> 01:17:20,800
Speaker 1: I'm looking for, just a little bit of taste. I

1592
01:17:20,880 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: want to see what he can do, and I want

1593
01:17:22,160 --> 01:17:26,120
Speaker 1: to see the off his line can do. Yeah, I

1594
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:29,080
Speaker 1: think that's a great place to be, uh, Dave, that's

1595
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,760
Speaker 1: we need to see something from Shady. We all kind

1596
01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:34,439
Speaker 1: of think, and even us you and me, mur if

1597
01:17:34,479 --> 01:17:36,320
Speaker 1: we've watched him when I think Lashawn's got a lot

1598
01:17:36,360 --> 01:17:39,400
Speaker 1: in the tank. He's also been that guy who's making

1599
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:42,439
Speaker 1: a lot of money as he's an elite wide I'm

1600
01:17:42,880 --> 01:17:45,120
Speaker 1: running back and has been for a while. He had

1601
01:17:45,120 --> 01:17:47,760
Speaker 1: a big contract because you know he deserved it when

1602
01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:51,040
Speaker 1: he signed it. But now he's thirty thirty one and

1603
01:17:51,520 --> 01:17:53,800
Speaker 1: there are some doubts there, particularly given the way the

1604
01:17:53,880 --> 01:17:57,240
Speaker 1: offense played last year. Most of us, you and me

1605
01:17:57,720 --> 01:17:59,160
Speaker 1: and a lot of fans think, you know, it was

1606
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 1: the offensive line that struggle. They're gonna have four new starters.

1607
01:18:01,720 --> 01:18:03,640
Speaker 1: That says everything you need to know about how the

1608
01:18:03,720 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 1: offensive played a year. Offensive line played a year ago.

1609
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:10,040
Speaker 1: Let's see this offensive line settle in and give Lashawn

1610
01:18:10,160 --> 01:18:13,840
Speaker 1: a chance to prove the doubters wrong, all those people

1611
01:18:13,840 --> 01:18:15,720
Speaker 1: who've been calling for him to be traded, all those

1612
01:18:15,760 --> 01:18:17,880
Speaker 1: people who are saying he won't be on the team,

1613
01:18:17,920 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 1: all those people who say he's too old, all those

1614
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:23,040
Speaker 1: people who have been critical of him and his year

1615
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:25,680
Speaker 1: last year. You know, he wants to prove him wrong.

1616
01:18:25,800 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 1: I want to see that too, and I think he's

1617
01:18:27,680 --> 01:18:29,160
Speaker 1: got a chance to do it. I think he does

1618
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:30,840
Speaker 1: have something left in the tank. I think he is

1619
01:18:30,880 --> 01:18:33,400
Speaker 1: still a good back. I think Brian Dable has a

1620
01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:35,680
Speaker 1: plan for him in this offense, and I think he's

1621
01:18:35,680 --> 01:18:37,559
Speaker 1: gonna have a good year. All of that proving wrong

1622
01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:41,120
Speaker 1: not likely to happen tonight. You're not suggesting that, No,

1623
01:18:41,360 --> 01:18:42,640
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that's one of the things we'd like

1624
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:47,280
Speaker 1: Tonight's saw something when he's in there. Let's see it. Yeah,

1625
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,519
Speaker 1: let's see it again. How any carries will he get tonight?

1626
01:18:49,640 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: No more than four or five? Right? Oh? I think

1627
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:55,240
Speaker 1: that's a pipe dream. I ain't get two three, but

1628
01:18:55,400 --> 01:18:58,759
Speaker 1: a flash would be. And you and I have two carries,

1629
01:18:58,800 --> 01:19:01,519
Speaker 1: and the over under is two point five carries and

1630
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:04,639
Speaker 1: one point five receptions. You and I have the benefit

1631
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:06,720
Speaker 1: of being a camp every day and seeing him in

1632
01:19:06,800 --> 01:19:10,080
Speaker 1: practice and knowing that the burst is still there, the flash.

1633
01:19:10,160 --> 01:19:12,360
Speaker 1: We've seen him. We've seen those flashes, and I get

1634
01:19:12,400 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 1: it people want to see. I don't think he's washed

1635
01:19:14,360 --> 01:19:17,360
Speaker 1: up either. Offensive line. Question on the line from Tom

1636
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:19,200
Speaker 1: in the lake You Tom, go ahead, you're on the

1637
01:19:19,240 --> 01:19:21,920
Speaker 1: air with us. Yeah, how you guys doing. I'm just

1638
01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:25,599
Speaker 1: wondering about John Feliciano and when Mitch Morris comes back,

1639
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:28,840
Speaker 1: is he going to be kind of relegated to a

1640
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,080
Speaker 1: backup center role or is he somebody we could put

1641
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: in that guard With the thought process of the more

1642
01:19:33,960 --> 01:19:36,240
Speaker 1: minds we have on the field that do play center

1643
01:19:36,280 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 1: and Ken play center, maybe we could see the field

1644
01:19:38,400 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: a little bit different, communicate a little bit better, and

1645
01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:44,519
Speaker 1: just be a better over offensive line. I think that's

1646
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 1: really your question, Tom, and not so much for the

1647
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,800
Speaker 1: mind aspect of it. That's part of it, I think.

1648
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:52,120
Speaker 1: But you know you and I and we noted it

1649
01:19:52,240 --> 01:19:54,639
Speaker 1: in Spartanburg and we talked about it and talked about

1650
01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:57,040
Speaker 1: it again. I did a pregame entry with coach McDermott

1651
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,439
Speaker 1: last night and I said, you and Davill, every time

1652
01:19:59,439 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: you talk about Feliciano, you say tough, tough. He has

1653
01:20:02,760 --> 01:20:05,200
Speaker 1: made his mark in three weeks of training camp. John

1654
01:20:05,200 --> 01:20:08,439
Speaker 1: Feliciano has It would not surprise me if when Morse

1655
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:10,400
Speaker 1: comes back, if they want to find a way to

1656
01:20:10,479 --> 01:20:13,080
Speaker 1: get him on the field at guard, I mean maybe

1657
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,240
Speaker 1: at left guard. Right now, they're they're sitting in a

1658
01:20:16,320 --> 01:20:18,800
Speaker 1: great place right now with their guards because they've got

1659
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:22,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Long who can play guards center. They've got Quentin

1660
01:20:22,920 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 1: Spain who plays guard. They've got John Feliciano who plays

1661
01:20:26,400 --> 01:20:29,160
Speaker 1: guard center and has played both spots. They also have

1662
01:20:30,320 --> 01:20:33,919
Speaker 1: Cody Ford playing guard, who maybe, you know, the offensive

1663
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 1: lineman with the biggest upside on the team probably is

1664
01:20:36,680 --> 01:20:40,160
Speaker 1: they've got guys down inside that not only are they're

1665
01:20:40,160 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 1: all big dudes, they can they can all play both guards,

1666
01:20:44,280 --> 01:20:47,280
Speaker 1: and two of them can play center pretty well. Uh

1667
01:20:47,400 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: and Mitch Morse may be the best center. He's the

1668
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,519
Speaker 1: highest paid center in the league. He's you got high

1669
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:56,759
Speaker 1: expectations for him. So they're they're hip deep in really

1670
01:20:56,840 --> 01:21:01,760
Speaker 1: good interior offensive lineman. The question is, when we've been

1671
01:21:01,800 --> 01:21:04,840
Speaker 1: asking what's the best combination, who are the best three together?

1672
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Mitch Morse is probably gonna be in there when he

1673
01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,719
Speaker 1: comes back, but Feliciano has played extremely well at center,

1674
01:21:11,080 --> 01:21:14,160
Speaker 1: Spencer Long has played very well at guard. Quentin Spain

1675
01:21:14,280 --> 01:21:17,240
Speaker 1: has been a fixture at left guard all camp through

1676
01:21:17,280 --> 01:21:20,400
Speaker 1: the number one. He's the guy, So everybody else has

1677
01:21:20,439 --> 01:21:22,720
Speaker 1: to rotate into those other two spots or back up

1678
01:21:22,960 --> 01:21:26,320
Speaker 1: Spain as well. Wyatt tellers in that mix as a guard.

1679
01:21:27,280 --> 01:21:29,200
Speaker 1: There's a lot going on up there that we don't

1680
01:21:29,240 --> 01:21:32,320
Speaker 1: know about that. Morse does not play center when he's

1681
01:21:32,560 --> 01:21:34,559
Speaker 1: not at all? Okay, he's no, he is the center

1682
01:21:34,600 --> 01:21:36,040
Speaker 1: and he's not going in. Did I say something that

1683
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,880
Speaker 1: made you think that at all? That's not that, That's

1684
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:39,640
Speaker 1: not where I was going with. I'm just saying that

1685
01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:42,800
Speaker 1: because of his presence on there. Now, Feliciano has to

1686
01:21:42,800 --> 01:21:45,200
Speaker 1: if he's gonna play center, it's a backup center and

1687
01:21:45,320 --> 01:21:47,760
Speaker 1: he goes to guard. Now Feliciano, is he a better

1688
01:21:47,800 --> 01:21:50,360
Speaker 1: guard than Spain? Is he a better guard than Spencer Long?

1689
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:53,519
Speaker 1: Or is better you know or Cody for Cody Ford?

1690
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:57,519
Speaker 1: Or is code or is he better guard than Cody Ford?

1691
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,000
Speaker 1: Or a better guard? Here's the big question this, because

1692
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,280
Speaker 1: this is all confusing. If you don't walk through it,

1693
01:22:04,439 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: is John Felicion or Spencer Long better at playing right

1694
01:22:08,320 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: guard opposite Quentin Spain. Are they better at guards? Then

1695
01:22:12,960 --> 01:22:17,720
Speaker 1: tie and Secki is at right tackle, And because if

1696
01:22:17,800 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: they are, you put one of those guys at guard,

1697
01:22:20,360 --> 01:22:24,080
Speaker 1: and you move Cody forward to right tackle, and then

1698
01:22:24,479 --> 01:22:26,880
Speaker 1: Inseci is the swing guy behind both of the guys

1699
01:22:27,040 --> 01:22:28,519
Speaker 1: both the left tackle on the right tackle, and you

1700
01:22:28,560 --> 01:22:32,880
Speaker 1: don't rely on Inseci to start. So that's depth. But

1701
01:22:33,040 --> 01:22:35,280
Speaker 1: that's the combination you're looking at. Do those guys play

1702
01:22:35,360 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: guard better than Inseci plays tackle, because if they do,

1703
01:22:38,760 --> 01:22:40,519
Speaker 1: you get gives you the ford. At a ford, you

1704
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:42,760
Speaker 1: the ability to put Cody forward at tackle, a lot

1705
01:22:42,840 --> 01:22:44,720
Speaker 1: of moving parts. I have a feeling I think you

1706
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:46,680
Speaker 1: might agree that a week from now, we'll probably have

1707
01:22:46,720 --> 01:22:48,680
Speaker 1: a pretty good sense of who's playing were right. It's

1708
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: like a scrabble board. You know what's what's the best

1709
01:22:51,840 --> 01:22:53,720
Speaker 1: word with the highest score you can get right with

1710
01:22:53,800 --> 01:22:56,760
Speaker 1: those five tiles or seven tiles. Right, that's what you're

1711
01:22:56,800 --> 01:22:59,320
Speaker 1: looking for. We're gonna trade analogy right that. Then we're

1726
01:23:55,880 --> 01:23:58,560
Speaker 1: I watched. I saw some highlights. You know, you know

1727
01:23:58,560 --> 01:24:00,439
Speaker 1: what he did? I heard he had good night eight

1728
01:24:00,560 --> 01:24:05,080
Speaker 1: for eight, forty one yards eight for eight. Nate Peterman. Wow,

1729
01:24:06,160 --> 01:24:09,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna? Are you among those who ridicule the

1730
01:24:09,160 --> 01:24:12,080
Speaker 1: guy like he's a joke. He's not a joke. I

1731
01:24:12,200 --> 01:24:14,559
Speaker 1: just think I think it is one of the singular

1732
01:24:14,960 --> 01:24:18,240
Speaker 1: phenomenon that you can never Football brings this stuff out

1733
01:24:18,320 --> 01:24:20,360
Speaker 1: once in a while. You got a guy like Peterman,

1734
01:24:20,920 --> 01:24:27,400
Speaker 1: who I don't know, he called what you want just um. Look,

1735
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,920
Speaker 1: think about how he played in the Bills preseason exactly, exactly,

1736
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,040
Speaker 1: That's what I'm talking about. In certain aspects of his game.

1737
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:37,960
Speaker 1: The guy's money right preseason. I want Nate Peterman on

1738
01:24:38,040 --> 01:24:41,960
Speaker 1: my team playing. I want him. But man, oh man,

1739
01:24:42,600 --> 01:24:44,360
Speaker 1: you talk about a guy that goes off the air

1740
01:24:44,520 --> 01:24:48,360
Speaker 1: when the when the real games start. Nate Peterman, his

1741
01:24:48,520 --> 01:24:52,400
Speaker 1: antenna's broken, right, I mean, he can't broadcast. I don't

1742
01:24:52,400 --> 01:24:53,680
Speaker 1: know what it is. I don't know what happened. I

1743
01:24:53,720 --> 01:24:56,920
Speaker 1: don't know either, but it is the most amazing phenomenon ever.

1744
01:24:57,080 --> 01:25:00,280
Speaker 1: I cannot get over the fact that Peterman goes out

1745
01:25:00,320 --> 01:25:03,360
Speaker 1: and goes eight for eight and John, you know, and

1746
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:05,840
Speaker 1: minimal yardage. I mean, Neo, he didn't light it up

1747
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:09,560
Speaker 1: right right, Yeah, he's not forty one yards. I get it.

1748
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: But still it's Yeah, we here in Buffalo have a

1749
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,559
Speaker 1: different perspective, obviously on it than probably the Oakland Raider

1750
01:25:16,600 --> 01:25:18,800
Speaker 1: fans do on Nate Peterman. They're thinking he is an

1751
01:25:18,840 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: absolute lock. And maybe he is. Maybe he is, but

1752
01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 1: I'm telling you this that you just gotta sit back

1753
01:25:25,240 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: and say, we were there twelve months ago. We were there,

1754
01:25:29,400 --> 01:25:31,400
Speaker 1: that's right where we were and eleven months ago we

1755
01:25:31,479 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 1: were in a different spot or someplace else. Yeah, um,

1756
01:25:34,720 --> 01:25:36,360
Speaker 1: what do you think about tonight's game? Will you keeping

1757
01:25:36,360 --> 01:25:38,040
Speaker 1: an eye on? Let us know? Eight oh three five

1758
01:25:38,120 --> 01:25:41,519
Speaker 1: fifty two three one eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1759
01:25:41,680 --> 01:25:44,800
Speaker 1: John on the line from Jamestown, New York. Hello, John,

1760
01:25:44,880 --> 01:25:47,800
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. Hey, Murph, Steve, how are you

1761
01:25:47,880 --> 01:25:52,599
Speaker 1: doing down there in beautiful downtown Charlotte. We're doing okay,

1762
01:25:52,720 --> 01:25:56,679
Speaker 1: doing good, good, Well. I'm looking forward to the game,

1763
01:25:56,720 --> 01:26:00,559
Speaker 1: and of course Charlotte. It's a halfway house fruit Buffalo.

1764
01:26:00,800 --> 01:26:02,760
Speaker 1: You know, all the faint of heart when they move

1765
01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:06,799
Speaker 1: out of Western New York they go. If they go halfway,

1766
01:26:06,880 --> 01:26:08,640
Speaker 1: they go to Charlotte. If they go all the way,

1767
01:26:08,680 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 1: they go to Florida. What are they faint of heart about?

1768
01:26:12,160 --> 01:26:14,560
Speaker 1: Whether what are you talking about? Oh yeah, all the

1769
01:26:14,680 --> 01:26:19,280
Speaker 1: weather gets them. But they'll sneaking back in May and

1770
01:26:19,439 --> 01:26:22,920
Speaker 1: pretend like they never left. But we all know that.

1771
01:26:24,240 --> 01:26:27,240
Speaker 1: But it's gonna be a great game. Like to see

1772
01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:31,760
Speaker 1: Oliver tea off on Cam Newton in the backfield, and

1773
01:26:32,439 --> 01:26:35,160
Speaker 1: all I want is one of those where I'd say

1774
01:26:35,280 --> 01:26:40,040
Speaker 1: meet him head to head, but you can't do that. Anymore, right, Steve, Right,

1775
01:26:40,160 --> 01:26:42,519
Speaker 1: that's correct. You can't. You can't. You can't hit him

1776
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: in the head. All right, that's what you're looking for.

1777
01:26:45,160 --> 01:26:48,280
Speaker 1: Sean and Fort Myers. Sean, are you a trance because

1778
01:26:48,280 --> 01:26:50,639
Speaker 1: our last caller was down on people who left Buffalo

1779
01:26:50,720 --> 01:26:54,439
Speaker 1: to go to Florida? Is that you, Sean? Yeah, I'm here.

1780
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:58,479
Speaker 1: How are you guys doing good? I know you're there. Yeah, good,

1781
01:26:58,560 --> 01:27:01,519
Speaker 1: Thanks for coming on with us. I'm just excited to

1782
01:27:01,560 --> 01:27:04,000
Speaker 1: get on the air. I had a couple of things. Uh,

1783
01:27:04,520 --> 01:27:07,280
Speaker 1: I know you were talking about who you're getting excited

1784
01:27:07,320 --> 01:27:09,519
Speaker 1: to see possibly tonight. I'd love to see a little

1785
01:27:09,560 --> 01:27:12,439
Speaker 1: more Christian way, to be honest with you. He didn't

1786
01:27:12,439 --> 01:27:14,559
Speaker 1: have the long area for sixty five yards. It touched

1787
01:27:14,600 --> 01:27:18,439
Speaker 1: out and all hack of a drive. But let's see

1788
01:27:18,439 --> 01:27:20,679
Speaker 1: a little bit more out of him. And then I'm

1789
01:27:20,680 --> 01:27:23,240
Speaker 1: a little concerned about Haska. He missed that short one.

1790
01:27:23,360 --> 01:27:25,519
Speaker 1: Do we have to deal with that for the rest

1791
01:27:25,560 --> 01:27:28,080
Speaker 1: of the year or is he gonna make some changes

1792
01:27:28,280 --> 01:27:32,960
Speaker 1: possibly and the movements or yeah, let's not Sean, don't don't,

1793
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:34,840
Speaker 1: don't get too I don't want to erupt you. You

1794
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:36,160
Speaker 1: hang on the line up and you can get to

1795
01:27:36,200 --> 01:27:38,519
Speaker 1: your other point, but don't get too down on Stephen

1796
01:27:38,560 --> 01:27:42,599
Speaker 1: Haushka because he it's been eight years since he missed

1797
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,639
Speaker 1: a kick of that length in a regular season game.

1798
01:27:46,280 --> 01:27:49,760
Speaker 1: Eight years. So I don't don't think in the preseason game,

1799
01:27:49,800 --> 01:27:51,840
Speaker 1: when he's got a different punter holding for him and

1800
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:54,760
Speaker 1: he's and he's switching back and forth, that that's any

1801
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:57,639
Speaker 1: indicative of where he is in his career. So just yeah,

1802
01:27:57,880 --> 01:28:00,280
Speaker 1: Houski is fine, go ahead. What's your other point, Sean,

1803
01:28:01,640 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: um No, that was that was pretty much just a too.

1804
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: I just looking forward to possibly seeing uh Christian get

1805
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:11,920
Speaker 1: a couple of couple more carries. Uh, obviously he won't.

1806
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't see him being active. He'll he'll definitely make

1807
01:28:16,680 --> 01:28:22,599
Speaker 1: uh practice practice spot. Yeah. You know, I asked Sean

1808
01:28:22,960 --> 01:28:26,439
Speaker 1: McDermott last night's even It's in our pregame interview coming

1809
01:28:26,520 --> 01:28:28,760
Speaker 1: up with the radio, basically, what does Christian Wade do

1810
01:28:28,840 --> 01:28:31,800
Speaker 1: for an encore? You know, if I'm Christian Wade, I'm thinking,

1811
01:28:31,800 --> 01:28:33,680
Speaker 1: I don't want another touch. I want that, I want

1812
01:28:33,720 --> 01:28:36,240
Speaker 1: to stand. That's my preseason. There's my body of work.

1813
01:28:36,680 --> 01:28:38,800
Speaker 1: One carry sixty five yards in a touch. He hasn't

1814
01:28:38,800 --> 01:28:42,040
Speaker 1: even been tackled yet, right, right, he hasn't been touched

1815
01:28:44,000 --> 01:28:45,880
Speaker 1: then us. You know, but I think I get that,

1816
01:28:46,000 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 1: and you know, again, we kind of know what the

1817
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,920
Speaker 1: future holds for Christian Wade. So in that sense, to me,

1818
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,040
Speaker 1: there's not a real strong desire to see what else

1819
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:57,200
Speaker 1: he has. But look, he's he's a work in progress

1820
01:28:57,240 --> 01:29:00,640
Speaker 1: and a long term project for this team. So the

1821
01:29:00,760 --> 01:29:03,200
Speaker 1: sell the touchdown celebration was the most physical part of

1822
01:29:03,240 --> 01:29:06,000
Speaker 1: the run. You know, it was. I mean, it was fun,

1823
01:29:06,160 --> 01:29:07,479
Speaker 1: it was great, it was a great moment. It was

1824
01:29:08,000 --> 01:29:11,240
Speaker 1: You're right. We talked about that on the Monday, I

1825
01:29:11,320 --> 01:29:14,040
Speaker 1: think after the game about how what a special moment

1826
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,160
Speaker 1: that was, what a great story he is. You can

1827
01:29:16,280 --> 01:29:19,120
Speaker 1: count on Christian Wade being in Buffalo throughout this season.

1828
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:21,320
Speaker 1: I don't think he'll be on the active roster. He

1829
01:29:21,400 --> 01:29:23,280
Speaker 1: will be part of the practice squad because he's a

1830
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:29,800
Speaker 1: free roster spot for h player pathways, uh program guy,

1831
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:33,000
Speaker 1: they get an extra roster spot for him. They're gonna

1832
01:29:33,040 --> 01:29:35,479
Speaker 1: tuck him away at and worst case scenary, They're gonna

1833
01:29:35,479 --> 01:29:36,880
Speaker 1: tuck him away and let him learn the game and

1834
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: be a part of the franchise, be a part of

1835
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,439
Speaker 1: the team. All during the year, he'll practice with the team,

1836
01:29:41,479 --> 01:29:43,280
Speaker 1: he'll work out with the team, he'll learn the game.

1837
01:29:44,160 --> 01:29:46,280
Speaker 1: So you can bet that Christian Wade's gonna be um

1838
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,439
Speaker 1: in Buffalo for the foreseeable future. Thanks for your calling.

1839
01:29:49,479 --> 01:29:52,479
Speaker 1: One more call in this segment, Brian in Amhurst. Go ahead, Brian,

1840
01:29:52,520 --> 01:29:56,599
Speaker 1: Welcome to the show. How are you doing, guys? Um good?

1841
01:29:57,120 --> 01:30:02,040
Speaker 1: You know I was I was gonna ask about the

1842
01:30:02,200 --> 01:30:09,040
Speaker 1: tight competition at wide receiver and and the possibility with

1843
01:30:09,160 --> 01:30:12,200
Speaker 1: all the injuries at tight end. Do you think that

1844
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:16,559
Speaker 1: if they're not going to keep Duke Williams a receiver,

1845
01:30:17,280 --> 01:30:20,040
Speaker 1: could he make the switch to tight end and be

1846
01:30:20,160 --> 01:30:26,000
Speaker 1: a receiving tight end type of player for the Bills.

1847
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:30,479
Speaker 1: I don't see it. I don't think he could do

1848
01:30:30,520 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 1: it and make the team this year. You know, like,

1849
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:37,479
Speaker 1: for instance, Jason Krum is a receiving tight end. It's

1850
01:30:37,520 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 1: not like the hill play tonight, but he eventually will.

1851
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:42,640
Speaker 1: But Jason Crum is a receiving tight end and they

1852
01:30:42,680 --> 01:30:44,640
Speaker 1: spend a lot of time working on his blocking. I mean,

1853
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:47,280
Speaker 1: they don't want just a one trick pony there at

1854
01:30:47,320 --> 01:30:48,800
Speaker 1: tight end. If you're going to be a tight end,

1855
01:30:48,800 --> 01:30:50,680
Speaker 1: they want you to be an important part of what

1856
01:30:50,840 --> 01:30:53,639
Speaker 1: they consider an important part of their offense, the run game,

1857
01:30:53,720 --> 01:30:56,760
Speaker 1: the blocking game in particular, So that's unlikely. I would

1858
01:30:56,760 --> 01:31:00,479
Speaker 1: think that's pretty unlikely. Thanks Brian, Thank you a call. Now,

1859
01:31:01,760 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: Duke Williams might have something to say again, I'm back

1860
01:31:04,360 --> 01:31:06,679
Speaker 1: to my theory, Steve. If somebody's gonna jump up today,

1861
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,560
Speaker 1: that's not on our radar. We haven't thought about it.

1862
01:31:08,960 --> 01:31:11,880
Speaker 1: Duke Williams could be that guy, right, goodn't He absolutely

1863
01:31:11,960 --> 01:31:13,840
Speaker 1: could be. He may get a chance to get some

1864
01:31:13,920 --> 01:31:16,400
Speaker 1: reps tonight. I mean that you talk about guys they

1865
01:31:16,439 --> 01:31:18,720
Speaker 1: haven't seen or we haven't seen too much of in

1866
01:31:18,760 --> 01:31:21,360
Speaker 1: the preseason. Duke Williams is one of those guys. Easily

1867
01:31:21,400 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: I think is another reliever. David Msills, Mackenzie we've seen

1868
01:31:25,080 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: a little bit of. He's flashed a little bit. Nick

1869
01:31:27,200 --> 01:31:29,920
Speaker 1: Easley has practiced these last two days in training. Camp

1870
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:32,240
Speaker 1: Camp Phillips has made some really nice plays as well.

1871
01:31:32,560 --> 01:31:34,439
Speaker 1: Camp Phillips a little bit bigger guy at six foot

1872
01:31:34,479 --> 01:31:37,599
Speaker 1: two hundred pounds. And you know, we haven't even seen

1873
01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:40,800
Speaker 1: much of Robert Foster. And you know, you ask the

1874
01:31:40,880 --> 01:31:42,439
Speaker 1: coaches about it and they say, well, we kind of

1875
01:31:42,479 --> 01:31:44,280
Speaker 1: know who Robert is. You know these other guys that

1876
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: we don't know about. So and to me, if I'm

1877
01:31:50,160 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 1: Robert Foster, I don't really don't like the sound of that,

1878
01:31:54,080 --> 01:31:56,479
Speaker 1: because what do they know who he is? Yeah, that

1879
01:31:56,560 --> 01:31:59,120
Speaker 1: they know what he's doing, because that doesn't that means

1880
01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,120
Speaker 1: they're looking in him and they know what he is.

1881
01:32:02,600 --> 01:32:04,559
Speaker 1: That means he's the same guy he was last year

1882
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:06,920
Speaker 1: because he hasn't done much of anything. So if he's

1883
01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:09,519
Speaker 1: not getting better, he hasn't done much in this camp.

1884
01:32:09,720 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're I'm reluctant to say that.

1885
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,280
Speaker 1: I think what they mean when they say we know

1886
01:32:13,360 --> 01:32:16,240
Speaker 1: who he is is they're familiar with him, had him

1887
01:32:16,320 --> 01:32:18,920
Speaker 1: last year, caught him last year, brought him back, and look,

1888
01:32:19,040 --> 01:32:21,040
Speaker 1: Robert Foster spends a lot, spent a lot of time

1889
01:32:21,040 --> 01:32:24,240
Speaker 1: in the offseason around one Bill's Drive, working out, practicing,

1890
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:26,920
Speaker 1: and at least, you know, catching. I think that's what

1891
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,439
Speaker 1: they mean. I wouldn't read into it like you're saying

1892
01:32:29,520 --> 01:32:32,200
Speaker 1: Robert Foster is like hit his ceiling. I don't think.

1893
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:34,320
Speaker 1: I don't get that sense with the coaching staff. No,

1894
01:32:34,479 --> 01:32:36,559
Speaker 1: I think we all know he's got he's got more

1895
01:32:36,600 --> 01:32:38,519
Speaker 1: work to do as a wide receiver. I know that,

1896
01:32:38,600 --> 01:32:39,920
Speaker 1: and I think I know that a lot of people

1897
01:32:40,160 --> 01:32:42,479
Speaker 1: were enamored with what he did last year because you know,

1898
01:32:42,560 --> 01:32:44,880
Speaker 1: the story was great. As you say, he got cut released,

1899
01:32:44,920 --> 01:32:47,519
Speaker 1: he didn't know what was going on, kind of didn't

1900
01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:49,200
Speaker 1: know how to act as a pro, and then they

1901
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:51,040
Speaker 1: cut him to kind of shake him out of it.

1902
01:32:51,560 --> 01:32:53,559
Speaker 1: And luckily there was a spot for him where they

1903
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,360
Speaker 1: needed him. They brought him back, activated him, and he

1904
01:32:56,520 --> 01:32:59,479
Speaker 1: developed into you know, Josh Allen's a favorite guy and

1905
01:32:59,600 --> 01:33:01,840
Speaker 1: the deep I don't know that he's going to be

1906
01:33:01,920 --> 01:33:04,479
Speaker 1: as effective this year in that role because I don't

1907
01:33:04,520 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 1: think the offense is going to look like that this year. Um,

1908
01:33:07,400 --> 01:33:10,240
Speaker 1: if he doesn't fit into this offense this year in

1909
01:33:10,360 --> 01:33:13,360
Speaker 1: the way that an Isaiah McKenzie or ray Ray McCleod

1910
01:33:13,439 --> 01:33:16,240
Speaker 1: fits in, or John Brown is certainly Cole Beasley fit in.

1911
01:33:17,720 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 1: He's not a special teams guy, Robert Foster. Um, then

1912
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,720
Speaker 1: it's then you have to start raising your eyebrows and thinking,

1913
01:33:24,360 --> 01:33:26,600
Speaker 1: you know, what are they thinking with him? And we

1914
01:33:26,720 --> 01:33:28,439
Speaker 1: don't know that because we don't even see him on

1915
01:33:28,439 --> 01:33:31,479
Speaker 1: the field very much. You you're down the road farther

1916
01:33:31,560 --> 01:33:33,720
Speaker 1: than I am on Robert Foster. I think they hold

1917
01:33:33,800 --> 01:33:36,080
Speaker 1: him in semi high regard. Want to see more, want

1918
01:33:36,080 --> 01:33:38,599
Speaker 1: to see development. But I think, um, I think they

1919
01:33:38,640 --> 01:33:41,960
Speaker 1: hold him in semi high regard. I do. I agree

1920
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:46,439
Speaker 1: with you. But how is his high regard higher than

1921
01:33:47,240 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: McCloud or a higher than as AA McKenzie, higher than

1922
01:33:51,439 --> 01:33:53,400
Speaker 1: you know? You name all these guys right well, other

1923
01:33:53,479 --> 01:33:57,120
Speaker 1: than Beasley and Zay Jones and and um, you think

1924
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:02,479
Speaker 1: Robert Foster is ahead of uh Andre Roberts. Nope, So

1925
01:34:02,800 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 1: but that's he's the next guy behind in front of

1926
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:10,160
Speaker 1: Ray Cloud Robert and they all had Jamillus differently. Yeah,

1927
01:34:10,160 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 1: and certainly there's a lot of guys on that roster

1928
01:34:12,200 --> 01:34:14,960
Speaker 1: you'd have to put Robert Foster ahead of no question. Um.

1929
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,479
Speaker 1: I think when you don't get reps as a former

1930
01:34:19,560 --> 01:34:25,120
Speaker 1: player and you're healthy, that's not a good thing. Seehom

1931
01:34:25,120 --> 01:34:27,479
Speaker 1: any reps he gets today. Yeah, it'll be interesting. Chris

1932
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:30,200
Speaker 1: Brown coming up Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills

1933

1935
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:37,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna ask Chris to name a guy who's gonna

1936
01:34:37,439 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: jump up that we haven't talked about under the radar guy,

Speaker 1: false starts in the first quarter of last night's preseason

1966
01:36:13,960 --> 01:36:16,760
Speaker 1: game against Oakland. Because of his cadence, he clapps for

1967
01:36:16,840 --> 01:36:19,360
Speaker 1: the snap. The official told him he was too abrupt

1968
01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:22,639
Speaker 1: and signaled him for a false start. His coach, Cliff Kingsbury,

1969
01:36:22,640 --> 01:36:25,040
Speaker 1: he said he's got an ongoing conversation with the NFL

1970
01:36:25,360 --> 01:36:28,439
Speaker 1: about what constitutes a false start in that case. Eagles

1988
01:37:38,439 --> 01:37:40,760
Speaker 1: third appearance of this week, three last week. Are you

1989
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:42,920
Speaker 1: sick of one Bills Live yet? You'd mind coming on

1990
01:37:43,040 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 1: the show mildly sick? Yeah, I'm just kidding. Good. Thanks

1991
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:49,680
Speaker 1: you for putting up. I know, I know, it's it's

1992
01:37:49,720 --> 01:37:51,720
Speaker 1: just been it's been a long week on the road here. Yeah,

1993
01:37:51,800 --> 01:37:53,400
Speaker 1: it's been fun. Though it's wear and tear on the

1994
01:37:53,439 --> 01:37:55,360
Speaker 1: people on the home front too. You know, they got

1995
01:37:55,400 --> 01:37:57,960
Speaker 1: a little more to juggle. So yeah, you know, you hate,

1996
01:37:58,280 --> 01:38:00,280
Speaker 1: you hate that you're away that long, but we'll all

1997
01:38:00,320 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: be home in the right. There's no way she's listening.

1998
01:38:05,080 --> 01:38:08,280
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, that's right. Hey, Um, let me get

1999
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,800
Speaker 1: your writing on. You know what I proposed to Steve,

2000
01:38:10,880 --> 01:38:13,040
Speaker 1: We talked to you about. Look, last week there were

2001
01:38:13,080 --> 01:38:17,719
Speaker 1: players who kind of jumped off the screen, made big impressions. Johns,

2002
01:38:17,760 --> 01:38:21,120
Speaker 1: Harold Johnson, you got it. Yeah, obviously Christian Waite, who

2003
01:38:21,280 --> 01:38:24,559
Speaker 1: is the unknown superstar of tonight's game. The unknown hero

2004
01:38:24,720 --> 01:38:26,760
Speaker 1: will say of tonight's game, if you had to guess,

2005
01:38:26,800 --> 01:38:28,880
Speaker 1: who would you put the star, I'm gonna go with

2006
01:38:28,960 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 1: a guy who had a who very quietly had a

2007
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 1: very good week this week. Matt Barkley. Oh Barkley had

2008
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:38,320
Speaker 1: a great week this week. Um, just putting passes on

2009
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,840
Speaker 1: the money, good anticipation throws. And I know, you know,

2010
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:44,400
Speaker 1: it's hard to get excited about the backup quarterback, but

2011
01:38:44,840 --> 01:38:47,880
Speaker 1: I thought he had a great week this week. In

2012
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,080
Speaker 1: these joint practices, Uh and I think he's gonna play

2013
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:53,400
Speaker 1: a lot tonight because it doesn't sound like the starters

2014
01:38:53,439 --> 01:38:56,240
Speaker 1: are gonna get all that much more time than they

2015
01:38:56,320 --> 01:38:58,880
Speaker 1: did in the first game. So that says to me

2016
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:01,599
Speaker 1: that Barkley's gonna probably play a good deal. So I'm

2017
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:04,080
Speaker 1: excited to see him, you know, against a different kind

2018
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: of defensive front that granted he's seen the last couple

2019
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:08,360
Speaker 1: of days, but I want to see him put the

2020
01:39:08,400 --> 01:39:10,240
Speaker 1: ball on the money and kind of help us get

2021
01:39:10,280 --> 01:39:12,880
Speaker 1: a better look at some of these receivers on the

2022
01:39:12,960 --> 01:39:15,599
Speaker 1: back end to the depth chart like that. That's good.

2023
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:19,559
Speaker 1: That's a good one. I think it's gonna be Kevin Johnson.

2024
01:39:20,320 --> 01:39:22,680
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna get some reps tonight. And I

2025
01:39:22,800 --> 01:39:26,439
Speaker 1: think the success that this Bill's defense had during the

2026
01:39:26,520 --> 01:39:29,920
Speaker 1: week against Cam Newton and these quarterbacks, I think they're

2027
01:39:29,920 --> 01:39:31,479
Speaker 1: gonna their lights are gonna be on or they're gonna

2028
01:39:31,479 --> 01:39:33,439
Speaker 1: be looking for it, I think, and Kevin Johnson is

2029
01:39:33,520 --> 01:39:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna be the guy and maybe a pick, maybe some

2030
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:38,479
Speaker 1: passes defense, I think he's gonna get some time out

2031
01:39:38,520 --> 01:39:40,160
Speaker 1: there to get a chance to make a play. I

2032
01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:42,000
Speaker 1: think he's gonna make a play defensively. I got one

2033
01:39:42,160 --> 01:39:48,280
Speaker 1: Captain mun Yeah, that's an easy one to go. Why

2034
01:39:48,479 --> 01:39:50,720
Speaker 1: is that easy? Because he's been on the roster for

2035
01:39:50,840 --> 01:39:53,120
Speaker 1: five that's why. That's why. And we got to see

2036
01:39:53,120 --> 01:39:54,559
Speaker 1: if are you gonna be able to help this team

2037
01:39:54,600 --> 01:39:56,240
Speaker 1: in the nickel? Are you gonna be able to help?

2038
01:39:56,439 --> 01:39:58,760
Speaker 1: I think he can, and he's up against his old team.

2039
01:39:58,760 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 1: I was reading the did you read the Charlotte newspaper

2040
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:02,479
Speaker 1: today or maybe he was an article the other day.

2041
01:40:02,720 --> 01:40:05,320
Speaker 1: Munderland expected and wanted to come back here. He wanted

2042
01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:07,559
Speaker 1: to play for the Panthers, right, it's his hometown now

2043
01:40:07,600 --> 01:40:09,920
Speaker 1: and played here for seven or eight years before. But

2044
01:40:10,000 --> 01:40:11,439
Speaker 1: I think for that reason and the fact that he's

2045
01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:13,080
Speaker 1: a pretty good player, and I think the Bills are

2046
01:40:13,120 --> 01:40:15,439
Speaker 1: gonna give him a good look as a nickel corner,

2047
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:18,080
Speaker 1: probably starting tonight. I look for Captain Munlin to make

2048
01:40:18,160 --> 01:40:21,599
Speaker 1: some play. I mean, Arren Johnson is should dress tonight,

2049
01:40:21,960 --> 01:40:23,479
Speaker 1: but I don't know that he's gonna play a whole lot.

2050
01:40:23,560 --> 01:40:28,719
Speaker 1: So Munderlin, well, I think he's maybe maybe I should

2051
01:40:28,720 --> 01:40:30,599
Speaker 1: restate it he a little. He's kind of obvious because

2052
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: he's new on the block. They got to see what

2053
01:40:32,520 --> 01:40:34,080
Speaker 1: he can do, so you know, he's gonna play a

2054
01:40:34,160 --> 01:40:36,599
Speaker 1: lot because they got to know at thirty one years

2055
01:40:36,640 --> 01:40:38,640
Speaker 1: of age, can he still do the job at a

2056
01:40:38,760 --> 01:40:42,080
Speaker 1: level that they expect. We know that Terren Johnson is

2057
01:40:42,439 --> 01:40:45,960
Speaker 1: a lockstock and barrel starting nickel corner for them, But

2058
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:49,080
Speaker 1: even though he's added seven eight pounds a lean muscle mass,

2059
01:40:50,160 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 1: he's not a huge guy. He could get nicked up,

2060
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:54,599
Speaker 1: he could get dinged, and you're gonna need somebody else

2061
01:40:54,640 --> 01:40:57,439
Speaker 1: that you trust to go in there. I'm not shooting this.

2062
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: If Tarn is lock stock and old nickel corner, why

2063
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,080
Speaker 1: did they go out and get Captain Munerland Because they

2064
01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:05,439
Speaker 1: don't have anybody behind him that they trust. Okay, I

2065
01:41:05,840 --> 01:41:09,200
Speaker 1: think sirrand neil Is Believe me, Sirrand Neil is putting

2066
01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:11,759
Speaker 1: in an extra study time. They gave him a long

2067
01:41:12,400 --> 01:41:14,720
Speaker 1: the game, almost the whole game last week because Teren

2068
01:41:14,880 --> 01:41:18,200
Speaker 1: wasn't playing, you know when he j Gaines got hurt

2069
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:21,160
Speaker 1: and went on ir, so he played almost the whole game.

2070
01:41:21,200 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 1: I think they have a good feel as to where

2071
01:41:22,880 --> 01:41:26,200
Speaker 1: Saran is at. I think Suran probably still makes this roster,

2072
01:41:26,520 --> 01:41:27,920
Speaker 1: but I don't think they're ready to throw him out

2073
01:41:27,960 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 1: on the field and be a nickel corner playing seventy

2074
01:41:30,160 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: five snaps a week if Tarn Johnson goes down. So again,

2075
01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,200
Speaker 1: we've got veteran insurance here. Now they got to find

2076
01:41:37,240 --> 01:41:39,880
Speaker 1: out tonight, are we okay? If we have to go

2077
01:41:39,960 --> 01:41:42,320
Speaker 1: with Captain Munerland for two or three weeks, if Terron

2078
01:41:42,400 --> 01:41:45,559
Speaker 1: goes down to injury, I would submit this. A guy

2079
01:41:45,680 --> 01:41:48,799
Speaker 1: like Captain Munnerland is a little bit like Kurt Coleman.

2080
01:41:49,080 --> 01:41:51,439
Speaker 1: I've said this to Murph a couple of times. Think

2081
01:41:51,439 --> 01:41:54,240
Speaker 1: about this, even if Captain Munroland doesn't make the final roster,

2082
01:41:55,200 --> 01:41:57,040
Speaker 1: or if he could have made the final roster, and

2083
01:41:57,080 --> 01:41:59,240
Speaker 1: they decide that the upside of sirran Neil is going

2084
01:41:59,280 --> 01:42:01,000
Speaker 1: to be bigger than want to develop him and give

2085
01:42:01,040 --> 01:42:04,120
Speaker 1: him reps in practice and stuff. Same thing with Kurt Coleman.

2086
01:42:04,200 --> 01:42:07,439
Speaker 1: They are very well versed in this defense the club.

2087
01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:10,000
Speaker 1: They may not make the final roster. I'm talking about

2088
01:42:10,040 --> 01:42:13,320
Speaker 1: Manlin and Coleman because there's such late rivals to training camp,

2089
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:15,559
Speaker 1: but you know that these are two guys and when

2090
01:42:15,560 --> 01:42:18,400
Speaker 1: you cut him, you say, listen, stay ready. Kurt Coleman's

2091
01:42:18,439 --> 01:42:20,519
Speaker 1: making the roster. He's gonna be the third safety, right

2092
01:42:20,840 --> 01:42:23,519
Speaker 1: He's not even a question, right, But you get my point.

2093
01:42:23,520 --> 01:42:25,599
Speaker 1: You bring up a veteran who's well versed in the defense,

2094
01:42:25,760 --> 01:42:28,360
Speaker 1: and at some point in the regular season, if you

2095
01:42:28,479 --> 01:42:31,960
Speaker 1: do get thin, the guy has been sitting here ready,

2096
01:42:31,960 --> 01:42:34,240
Speaker 1: you know he's yeah, in three days of practice and

2097
01:42:34,280 --> 01:42:36,000
Speaker 1: he can play. I think if they like Monoline, he's

2098
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:38,040
Speaker 1: on the roster because he just gained an extra spot

2099
01:42:38,120 --> 01:42:41,000
Speaker 1: by E. J. Gaines going on IR that's a subtraction.

2100
01:42:41,400 --> 01:42:44,120
Speaker 1: So and the and the question with Manoline isn't does

2101
01:42:44,160 --> 01:42:46,080
Speaker 1: he know the defense? He knows the defense walking in

2102
01:42:46,120 --> 01:42:48,960
Speaker 1: the door. The question is at age thirty one, can

2103
01:42:49,040 --> 01:42:53,080
Speaker 1: he still play capably against some of the better slot

2104
01:42:53,120 --> 01:42:55,759
Speaker 1: receivers in the NFL. And we're gonna find out tonight

2105
01:42:55,800 --> 01:42:59,240
Speaker 1: if the answer is yes, no, or maybe we need

2106
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:01,080
Speaker 1: to see a little bit kind of thirty one year

2107
01:43:01,120 --> 01:43:05,719
Speaker 1: old backup safety or cornerback play special teams and contribute

2108
01:43:05,760 --> 01:43:08,000
Speaker 1: on game day. That's the thing too. If he's if

2109
01:43:08,040 --> 01:43:10,280
Speaker 1: he's on the squad, he's gonna need to do something else.

2110
01:43:11,200 --> 01:43:13,800
Speaker 1: I don't think it's catastrophic. I don't think it's catastrophic.

2111
01:43:13,880 --> 01:43:17,000
Speaker 1: If you have him as an inactive that's good veteran insurance.

2112
01:43:17,120 --> 01:43:19,880
Speaker 1: That's good veteran insurance to have you know who you're

2113
01:43:19,880 --> 01:43:23,240
Speaker 1: starting Nickel is. Mundolin's a great guy to have in

2114
01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: your back pocket, and I think the Bills recognize that

2115
01:43:26,320 --> 01:43:28,280
Speaker 1: from the word go when they had to start looking

2116
01:43:28,320 --> 01:43:32,960
Speaker 1: for somebody. It's just this is a physical ability question

2117
01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:35,840
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with with Mundolin. Does he look slow,

2118
01:43:36,240 --> 01:43:38,240
Speaker 1: can he keep up? Does he still have the foot

2119
01:43:38,320 --> 01:43:40,880
Speaker 1: quickness to handle two way goes in the slot? These

2120
01:43:40,920 --> 01:43:43,360
Speaker 1: are the things that they have to answer tonight in

2121
01:43:43,439 --> 01:43:46,000
Speaker 1: a game setting, and Munolin's got to answer the bell

2122
01:43:46,040 --> 01:43:48,680
Speaker 1: and if he can't, well, then they may have to

2123
01:43:48,760 --> 01:43:51,320
Speaker 1: look at other options. And that would be a little

2124
01:43:51,320 --> 01:43:56,360
Speaker 1: bit of a concern because Neil, even though he's shown

2125
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:59,400
Speaker 1: the athletic ability to play there, brings a physical edge

2126
01:43:59,720 --> 01:44:03,720
Speaker 1: to the nickel corner position that is intriguing. It's it's

2127
01:44:03,760 --> 01:44:07,439
Speaker 1: the knowledge of the position that is inhibiting him and

2128
01:44:07,600 --> 01:44:09,960
Speaker 1: what he can do for this defense. Munrolin is the

2129
01:44:10,040 --> 01:44:13,439
Speaker 1: exact opposite. If he can check the box physically, still

2130
01:44:13,520 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 1: can do it. Conversation over, he's your backup nickel corner

2131
01:44:17,120 --> 01:44:19,360
Speaker 1: with Chris Brown Bills Inside or Buffalo Bills dot Com.

2132
01:44:19,400 --> 01:44:21,200
Speaker 1: We're going to talk about what Chris is looking for,

2133
01:44:21,439 --> 01:44:22,680
Speaker 1: and we want to know what you're looking for in

2134
01:44:22,720 --> 01:44:24,400
Speaker 1: tonight's game. Who are you looking at? What are you

2135
01:44:24,479 --> 01:44:26,320
Speaker 1: looking for? Give us a call eight O three five

2136
01:44:26,439 --> 01:44:29,919
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two fifty.

2137
01:44:29,960 --> 01:44:32,400
Speaker 1: Can I bring up one more new addition to the roster, Chris,

2138
01:44:32,479 --> 01:44:35,360
Speaker 1: and just get your take after watching a couple of practices.

2139
01:44:35,439 --> 01:44:37,640
Speaker 1: What can sam Acho do for this defense? What do

2140
01:44:37,680 --> 01:44:39,560
Speaker 1: you expect they're looking to get from him? Yeah, I

2141
01:44:39,600 --> 01:44:43,920
Speaker 1: think he's got a flash. Unlike Munrolin and Coleman. You know,

2142
01:44:44,040 --> 01:44:47,559
Speaker 1: this is a guy that might not have as as

2143
01:44:47,640 --> 01:44:49,479
Speaker 1: great a depth of knowledge of this scheme, even though

2144
01:44:49,520 --> 01:44:52,519
Speaker 1: he's been around the league. Awhile, you know, coming from

2145
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:57,360
Speaker 1: that Vic Fangio defense, which isn't terribly different, you know,

2146
01:44:57,439 --> 01:44:59,960
Speaker 1: from the McDermott scheme, but there are there are different

2147
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:06,439
Speaker 1: Uh played some outside linebacker. Uh yeah, Now he's now

2148
01:45:06,520 --> 01:45:09,680
Speaker 1: he's up at defensive end. That's an adjustment. I think

2149
01:45:09,720 --> 01:45:13,760
Speaker 1: he's kind of fighting an uphill battle here. Um and

2150
01:45:13,840 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: the shame of it. He's such a great guy guy,

2151
01:45:18,160 --> 01:45:22,680
Speaker 1: great personality fits the locker room culture that coach McDermott

2152
01:45:22,760 --> 01:45:25,200
Speaker 1: likes I just think he's kind of caught up in

2153
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,519
Speaker 1: a numbers game here, So I think he's really got

2154
01:45:27,640 --> 01:45:31,400
Speaker 1: a flash tonight and and get noticed uh in the

2155
01:45:31,520 --> 01:45:34,720
Speaker 1: game on game tape when they're reviewing this thing. He's

2156
01:45:34,760 --> 01:45:37,240
Speaker 1: really got to make a splash tonight, I think to

2157
01:45:37,400 --> 01:45:40,760
Speaker 1: lengthen the look that they give him going forward. What

2158
01:45:40,840 --> 01:45:44,840
Speaker 1: are your expectations for tonight? Well, I mean, if we

2159
01:45:44,960 --> 01:45:47,240
Speaker 1: want to base it off what we saw in the

2160
01:45:47,320 --> 01:45:49,400
Speaker 1: two joint practices, I think we're going to get a

2161
01:45:49,439 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: pretty uh invigorating matchup. I think the energy level is

2162
01:45:53,880 --> 01:45:57,080
Speaker 1: going to be high on both sides, especially when those

2163
01:45:57,120 --> 01:46:00,120
Speaker 1: second teamers get in. You got guys fighting and on

2164
01:46:00,240 --> 01:46:04,320
Speaker 1: to make rosters and justify that they belong on the

2165
01:46:04,400 --> 01:46:08,760
Speaker 1: fifty three. And so I think it's gonna really kind

2166
01:46:08,800 --> 01:46:10,960
Speaker 1: of show itself tonight, maybe even more so than that

2167
01:46:11,040 --> 01:46:14,560
Speaker 1: first preseason game. Guys are gonna be laying it on

2168
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:16,840
Speaker 1: the line out there when we get to the second

2169
01:46:16,880 --> 01:46:20,120
Speaker 1: quarter and then the second half. So I'm expecting an

2170
01:46:20,160 --> 01:46:24,200
Speaker 1: intense style of play tonight, maybe more than you'd normally

2171
01:46:24,320 --> 01:46:26,800
Speaker 1: get in a preseason game based on some of those

2172
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:30,000
Speaker 1: circumstances at certain positions. Yeah, they're gonna there's a level

2173
01:46:30,040 --> 01:46:32,320
Speaker 1: of urgency where guys are looking at the calendar and

2174
01:46:32,600 --> 01:46:34,960
Speaker 1: all of a suddenly, I got this game. Time's getting

2175
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,439
Speaker 1: short next week, probably not in that fourth game, is

2176
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:39,640
Speaker 1: gonna be it? So well, yeah, And if you're one

2177
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:41,880
Speaker 1: of those guys that are second or third teamers, you

2178
01:46:41,960 --> 01:46:43,240
Speaker 1: know you're not gonna get a lot of reps in

2179
01:46:43,280 --> 01:46:45,360
Speaker 1: this next game coming up because the starters. That's the

2180
01:46:45,439 --> 01:46:47,320
Speaker 1: dress rehearsal for the starters. So you're gonna make some

2181
01:46:47,439 --> 01:46:49,360
Speaker 1: hey tonight. And it's not only just the game, the

2182
01:46:49,439 --> 01:46:52,800
Speaker 1: practice leading up to it. You're gonna be you know,

2183
01:46:53,040 --> 01:46:55,000
Speaker 1: kind of sitting there watching those guys get ready to play,

2184
01:46:55,400 --> 01:46:57,840
Speaker 1: and you know that you're gonna feel left out a

2185
01:46:57,840 --> 01:46:59,679
Speaker 1: little bit because we're getting to a point in time

2186
01:47:00,040 --> 01:47:03,840
Speaker 1: where the focus really shifts here because after this week,

2187
01:47:03,920 --> 01:47:07,360
Speaker 1: the focus begins to shift towards who are my starters

2188
01:47:07,760 --> 01:47:09,400
Speaker 1: and I need to get him ready for the first

2189
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,920
Speaker 1: week of the regular season. This is when they start scout,

2190
01:47:12,040 --> 01:47:15,200
Speaker 1: you know, putting in scout team stuff for the Jets.

2191
01:47:15,400 --> 01:47:19,040
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're already looking at week one and saying,

2192
01:47:19,040 --> 01:47:21,479
Speaker 1: all right, let's get some scouting reps in. You know,

2193
01:47:21,640 --> 01:47:24,360
Speaker 1: for looks against the Jets. Let's start doing that now.

2194
01:47:24,680 --> 01:47:27,880
Speaker 1: They're getting, you know, the priority shifts. We're done evaluating

2195
01:47:27,920 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: over here. We kind of know what we have and

2196
01:47:29,439 --> 01:47:31,960
Speaker 1: don't have time to start getting the starters ready for

2197
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:33,680
Speaker 1: the regular Yeah, they're starting to get the ones some

2198
01:47:34,040 --> 01:47:36,280
Speaker 1: reps and starting to be serious about it, and that

2199
01:47:36,320 --> 01:47:38,680
Speaker 1: will that will be even turned up more next week.

2200
01:47:38,840 --> 01:47:41,200
Speaker 1: You'll get the feeling by watching them, and you'll get

2201
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:43,120
Speaker 1: the feel of being a guy on the practice field

2202
01:47:43,120 --> 01:47:48,439
Speaker 1: that that was your last chance you're running scout. Yeah. Hey, um,

2203
01:47:49,240 --> 01:47:51,720
Speaker 1: so I get the sense from Sean McDermott that yes,

2204
01:47:51,840 --> 01:47:53,880
Speaker 1: he wishes he would have had his offensive line set

2205
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:56,439
Speaker 1: by now, but he's they're not panicking yet. Dable. You

2206
01:47:56,479 --> 01:47:59,920
Speaker 1: asked the question to Dabole the other day Wednesday in Spartanburg.

2207
01:48:00,000 --> 01:48:01,160
Speaker 1: I think it was, but you know what I mean.

2208
01:48:01,640 --> 01:48:03,200
Speaker 1: But I do think they want to get moving on

2209
01:48:03,720 --> 01:48:05,639
Speaker 1: setting the five and it might I said to Steve

2210
01:48:05,720 --> 01:48:08,040
Speaker 1: my guesses by this time next week we almost know

2211
01:48:08,200 --> 01:48:10,640
Speaker 1: who the five are. But I don't think they're in

2212
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,519
Speaker 1: panic mode on that yet. Yeah. Yeah, I think the

2213
01:48:13,640 --> 01:48:16,719
Speaker 1: problem again is the same problem we've had since the spring,

2214
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:20,200
Speaker 1: and its injuries. Injuries have really compromised and corrupted the

2215
01:48:20,280 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: process of finding your true starting five, and I think

2216
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:27,240
Speaker 1: it's made it more difficult for Bobby Johnson and the

2217
01:48:27,360 --> 01:48:32,800
Speaker 1: offensive staff to truly ascertain what are our best line combinations,

2218
01:48:32,840 --> 01:48:35,120
Speaker 1: Who's our best right guard right tackle combination, Who's our

2219
01:48:35,160 --> 01:48:37,439
Speaker 1: best right guard center combination, who's our best left guards?

2220
01:48:37,479 --> 01:48:39,360
Speaker 1: You know what I mean. So I mean, outside of

2221
01:48:39,439 --> 01:48:41,840
Speaker 1: Dion Dawkins, Quentin Spain and Mitch Moore's, the right side

2222
01:48:41,840 --> 01:48:44,120
Speaker 1: of that line is still a little bit of a jumble.

2223
01:48:45,800 --> 01:48:48,160
Speaker 1: You know. Hopefully Morris can be back next week and

2224
01:48:48,479 --> 01:48:51,040
Speaker 1: be ready for that long dress rehearsal for the starters

2225
01:48:51,360 --> 01:48:53,280
Speaker 1: and really kind of get that whole thing in sync.

2226
01:48:53,600 --> 01:48:55,920
Speaker 1: But again, we may have another injury that kind of

2227
01:48:55,960 --> 01:48:59,160
Speaker 1: compromises maybe what they had in mind going into tonight,

2228
01:48:59,200 --> 01:49:00,920
Speaker 1: because Tie and set he did not take any team

2229
01:49:00,960 --> 01:49:03,920
Speaker 1: reps in practice on Wednesday, might be dealing with some

2230
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:06,000
Speaker 1: kind of minor injury. We'll have to see if he

2231
01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:09,240
Speaker 1: dresses tonight. If he doesn't, I think we should expect,

2232
01:49:09,560 --> 01:49:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, Feliciano at center, Spencer Along at right guard,

2233
01:49:12,200 --> 01:49:14,400
Speaker 1: and Cody Ford at right tackle, and that'll be the

2234
01:49:14,400 --> 01:49:16,000
Speaker 1: way they go into tonight because that's what they did

2235
01:49:16,040 --> 01:49:19,599
Speaker 1: all day practice on Wednesday. You know. Interesting, He's become

2236
01:49:19,640 --> 01:49:21,880
Speaker 1: more interesting as camp has gone along, and as we've

2237
01:49:21,920 --> 01:49:26,280
Speaker 1: played preseason games number two tonight, John Feliciano, he is

2238
01:49:26,360 --> 01:49:29,080
Speaker 1: held in high regard. They rave about his toughness and

2239
01:49:29,960 --> 01:49:32,560
Speaker 1: his backstory. Sean mc durmer talking about his backstory the

2240
01:49:32,640 --> 01:49:35,800
Speaker 1: other day. When Morse comes back, where does Feliciano go?

2241
01:49:35,960 --> 01:49:38,840
Speaker 1: Could he play guard? Left or right? Could be right guard?

2242
01:49:39,720 --> 01:49:41,880
Speaker 1: It looks like Spain has a stranglehold on the left

2243
01:49:41,880 --> 01:49:44,439
Speaker 1: guard spot. I mean that's really been virtually unchanged from

2244
01:49:44,479 --> 01:49:47,880
Speaker 1: the very start of training camp. I think, in talking

2245
01:49:47,920 --> 01:49:51,599
Speaker 1: to Bobby Johnson, I think he really likes the mass

2246
01:49:52,439 --> 01:49:56,519
Speaker 1: that quinnin Spain brings to that position. And believe it

2247
01:49:56,640 --> 01:49:58,960
Speaker 1: or not, he's got better feat than he gets credit for.

2248
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:02,880
Speaker 1: I think he looks kind of like this potato with

2249
01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:06,920
Speaker 1: arms and legs, but really, the guy's got decent feet.

2250
01:50:07,120 --> 01:50:09,680
Speaker 1: He can move. You know, I'm not putting him out

2251
01:50:09,720 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: of tackle anytime soon. But I guess what I mean

2252
01:50:11,680 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 1: is he can do a little bit more than maybe

2253
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,040
Speaker 1: meets the eye. So to me, I think Spain is

2254
01:50:17,080 --> 01:50:19,559
Speaker 1: a lock there Dawkins is a lock at left tackle.

2255
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:22,120
Speaker 1: Morrise will be the center when he comes back. What

2256
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,160
Speaker 1: Feliciano offers you is the same thing that Long offers

2257
01:50:25,200 --> 01:50:27,920
Speaker 1: your two guard center options, who I think are in

2258
01:50:28,000 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 1: the top seven for this line, and maybe even the

2259
01:50:32,400 --> 01:50:34,920
Speaker 1: top six those two guys. I think it's going to

2260
01:50:35,000 --> 01:50:39,360
Speaker 1: come down to what's Insecki's situation and what is Cody

2261
01:50:39,400 --> 01:50:42,759
Speaker 1: Ford's best position for this line, Not for Cody Ford

2262
01:50:43,120 --> 01:50:45,960
Speaker 1: for the benefit of the line. If they determine right

2263
01:50:46,040 --> 01:50:48,080
Speaker 1: guard is his spot, well then you know in Secy's

2264
01:50:48,080 --> 01:50:49,880
Speaker 1: going to be the right tackle. If they determine it's

2265
01:50:49,960 --> 01:50:53,200
Speaker 1: right tackle, then it's Longer Feliciano at right guard with

2266
01:50:53,360 --> 01:50:55,560
Speaker 1: Mitch Morris as your center. Man, it's a bit of

2267
01:50:55,600 --> 01:50:59,720
Speaker 1: a rose colored glasses take. But I've heard McDermott and

2268
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:03,840
Speaker 1: Dable talk about how, yeah, this is not what we anticipated,

2269
01:51:03,920 --> 01:51:07,160
Speaker 1: but we have developed flexibility upfront. I mean they're looking

2270
01:51:07,200 --> 01:51:11,000
Speaker 1: at the you know, yeah, there's something to be said

2271
01:51:11,040 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 1: for that. No, I get it, I mean I get it,

2272
01:51:13,080 --> 01:51:15,760
Speaker 1: and yeah, there's value in that. It's interesting because I

2273
01:51:15,880 --> 01:51:18,719
Speaker 1: talked to Feliciano about that way back in the spring

2274
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:20,760
Speaker 1: when they were doing all the switching, the same kind

2275
01:51:20,800 --> 01:51:22,920
Speaker 1: of switching they're doing now. And he said, look, when

2276
01:51:22,920 --> 01:51:25,400
Speaker 1: I was in Oakland, he said, we had three of

2277
01:51:25,479 --> 01:51:28,880
Speaker 1: our starters miss time due to injury in the first

2278
01:51:28,960 --> 01:51:31,840
Speaker 1: eight weeks of the season. I think he said two

2279
01:51:31,960 --> 01:51:34,720
Speaker 1: years ago or three years twenty sixteen, three years ago now,

2280
01:51:35,120 --> 01:51:37,120
Speaker 1: he said, in that year, we had a bunch of

2281
01:51:37,200 --> 01:51:40,320
Speaker 1: starters out. Gabe Jackson missed some games, our center missed

2282
01:51:40,320 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 1: some games, and one of our tackles missed some games.

2283
01:51:42,200 --> 01:51:44,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember all the names any In any event,

2284
01:51:44,400 --> 01:51:48,840
Speaker 1: he said, it actually made us a better line come

2285
01:51:48,920 --> 01:51:51,200
Speaker 1: the second half of the season, because even though we

2286
01:51:51,280 --> 01:51:55,720
Speaker 1: had some interchangeable parts, the drop off was nothing noticeable,

2287
01:51:55,840 --> 01:51:57,680
Speaker 1: if at all. And he said at the end of

2288
01:51:57,720 --> 01:51:59,240
Speaker 1: the season, we gave up the few of sacks in

2289
01:51:59,280 --> 01:52:03,920
Speaker 1: the league eighteen. So there are instances and examples of

2290
01:52:04,080 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 1: where despite some turnover in churn, there are lines in

2291
01:52:08,320 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 1: this league that have still managed to get the job done.

2292
01:52:10,880 --> 01:52:13,640
Speaker 1: These guys believe they can be that. We'll have to

2293
01:52:13,680 --> 01:52:15,840
Speaker 1: wait and see. Yeah, it's interesting too, because you're talking

2294
01:52:15,880 --> 01:52:18,400
Speaker 1: about the top six guys, and if it talks top

2295
01:52:18,479 --> 01:52:21,639
Speaker 1: six guys, maybe seven guys you've got, you know, Mitch Morris,

2296
01:52:21,800 --> 01:52:24,800
Speaker 1: who's you know, six six three oh five. He's the

2297
01:52:24,920 --> 01:52:27,519
Speaker 1: lightest guy. We're talking about ut ExHAM. He's a monster.

2298
01:52:28,040 --> 01:52:31,400
Speaker 1: You've got you know, Dawkins at three twenty, Spain is

2299
01:52:31,479 --> 01:52:36,559
Speaker 1: three thirty, Ford Cody Fords three twenty five and seconds

2300
01:52:36,720 --> 01:52:39,799
Speaker 1: a three thirty. You've got Spencer Long is three eighteen.

2301
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:44,560
Speaker 1: I mean there there, I sense a pattern. Well, we

2302
01:52:44,680 --> 01:52:46,640
Speaker 1: are big offensive line. We talked about this in the

2303
01:52:46,680 --> 01:52:49,599
Speaker 1: spring too. Who they go with as their front five

2304
01:52:49,760 --> 01:52:52,800
Speaker 1: is going to largely determine what kind of running game

2305
01:52:52,840 --> 01:52:55,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna see here, Bro if you have I mean,

2306
01:52:55,600 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: Morris is a mobile guy. He's not a road greater guy.

2307
01:52:58,600 --> 01:53:01,680
Speaker 1: But you've got Spain on the left. If Feliciano is

2308
01:53:01,680 --> 01:53:04,599
Speaker 1: your right guard to start, and Cody Forward's your right

2309
01:53:04,640 --> 01:53:07,000
Speaker 1: tackle and Darkins is your left tackle, that's a road

2310
01:53:07,040 --> 01:53:09,160
Speaker 1: grading group right there. You're not doing a heck of

2311
01:53:09,200 --> 01:53:11,439
Speaker 1: a lot of pulling with those guys outside of maybe

2312
01:53:11,560 --> 01:53:13,840
Speaker 1: Morse and Ford, who can do it. Your guards aren't

2313
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:16,120
Speaker 1: pulling a whole lot because those guys are straight ahead people.

2314
01:53:16,360 --> 01:53:19,960
Speaker 1: If it's Feliciano and Spain right now, Spencer Long is it.

2315
01:53:20,640 --> 01:53:22,120
Speaker 1: He's a guy that can pull. So if you got

2316
01:53:22,200 --> 01:53:23,760
Speaker 1: more and ford and if you got forward and long

2317
01:53:23,880 --> 01:53:25,640
Speaker 1: on the field, then you you're open to that. But

2318
01:53:25,840 --> 01:53:28,599
Speaker 1: you know, Spencer Long at three eight, I mean he's

2319
01:53:28,600 --> 01:53:30,599
Speaker 1: not a little dude. So you've got the ability, it'll

2320
01:53:30,600 --> 01:53:34,040
Speaker 1: be the ability to do both. Now, certainly some of

2321
01:53:34,080 --> 01:53:35,720
Speaker 1: these guys, even if they've got the ability, they maybe

2322
01:53:35,720 --> 01:53:37,680
Speaker 1: they don't do it very well. It doesn't matter, you know,

2323
01:53:37,960 --> 01:53:40,080
Speaker 1: once you get in start talking about technique and pulling

2324
01:53:40,160 --> 01:53:42,599
Speaker 1: with you know, how to lead step with your outside

2325
01:53:42,680 --> 01:53:45,000
Speaker 1: leg and all that stuff, and turning your shoulders and

2326
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:47,720
Speaker 1: running with your shoulders towards the line of scrimmage, all

2327
01:53:47,760 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 1: of that stuff. Just because they're big enough to do

2328
01:53:50,120 --> 01:53:51,720
Speaker 1: it or have the ability to do it, doesn't mean

2329
01:53:51,760 --> 01:53:54,320
Speaker 1: they're going to do it well. But by the same token,

2330
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 1: you're right, they gotta to me, they're gonna find guys

2331
01:53:56,840 --> 01:53:59,240
Speaker 1: they can do as much of both of those things

2332
01:53:59,320 --> 01:54:01,040
Speaker 1: as they can be because each game is going to

2333
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:03,479
Speaker 1: be a different game. Biggest problem last year was controlling

2334
01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:05,400
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage. They want guys that can come

2335
01:54:05,439 --> 01:54:07,720
Speaker 1: off the play, got beat and knock that d line back.

2336
01:54:07,880 --> 01:54:10,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna be playing that Jets defensive front in week one.

2337
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:13,080
Speaker 1: Anybody look at that last night, right who They didn't

2338
01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:15,639
Speaker 1: even have Leonard Williams on the field, and they were

2339
01:54:15,880 --> 01:54:18,960
Speaker 1: all over those guys last night. Who the heck are

2340
01:54:18,960 --> 01:54:22,360
Speaker 1: they playing? I already forgotten now Jets were playing Atlanta.

2341
01:54:23,320 --> 01:54:26,920
Speaker 1: Atlanta's line was they had it in reverse. Forget about neutral. Yeah,

2342
01:54:26,960 --> 01:54:29,680
Speaker 1: I mean Quinn Williams was the real deal. I mean

2343
01:54:29,760 --> 01:54:32,600
Speaker 1: he put he put that guard on roller skates all

2344
01:54:32,760 --> 01:54:35,760
Speaker 1: night long. Matt Ryan was yelling at his line because

2345
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:38,520
Speaker 1: he was mad that he wasn't getting any time to throw.

2346
01:54:40,320 --> 01:54:43,240
Speaker 1: I mean that's week one, guys, that is week one.

2347
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:45,760
Speaker 1: So you better have people that can hold up and

2348
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:48,040
Speaker 1: knock people off the ball or it's gonna be a

2349
01:54:48,080 --> 01:54:50,480
Speaker 1: long day for this offense. You gotta get it in line,

2350
01:54:50,520 --> 01:54:52,280
Speaker 1: and you gotta get them ready to fire off the

2351
01:54:52,320 --> 01:54:54,720
Speaker 1: ball and you know, punch some people in the mouth. Chris,

2352
01:54:54,800 --> 01:54:57,040
Speaker 1: we get our first look at Shady McCoy tomorrow night.

2353
01:54:57,120 --> 01:54:59,200
Speaker 1: He will start it running back for the night. Tonight

2354
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 1: we get enough of a look to um to decide,

2355
01:55:03,040 --> 01:55:06,280
Speaker 1: and people whose minds are divided on whether he's got

2356
01:55:06,320 --> 01:55:08,960
Speaker 1: anything left do we get enough to see tonight. I

2357
01:55:09,040 --> 01:55:10,560
Speaker 1: said to Steve a couple of flash I don't not

2358
01:55:10,680 --> 01:55:12,880
Speaker 1: be helpful. I don't know if we'll see enough. It

2359
01:55:13,240 --> 01:55:15,280
Speaker 1: kind of depends on how the play calling goes. You'd

2360
01:55:15,320 --> 01:55:16,640
Speaker 1: like to think that they're going to try to get

2361
01:55:16,680 --> 01:55:20,800
Speaker 1: him some good reps tonight. Um, maybe not. Maybe he

2362
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,880
Speaker 1: only gets a couple and they save him for the

2363
01:55:23,960 --> 01:55:26,200
Speaker 1: third game when you know the starters are gonna play more.

2364
01:55:26,760 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 1: How much work did Gore get in the first game?

2365
01:55:28,880 --> 01:55:31,520
Speaker 1: They get four carries? Yeah, three, I'll tell him my

2366
01:55:31,600 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 1: over under Murph, I think and under two and a

2367
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:37,560
Speaker 1: half carries and one point five receptions. Yeah that's you know,

2368
01:55:37,880 --> 01:55:42,040
Speaker 1: he's probably playing twelve plays. Yeah, maybe yeah. And listen,

2369
01:55:42,480 --> 01:55:44,240
Speaker 1: I don't they know what they've got in shady or

2370
01:55:44,280 --> 01:55:46,400
Speaker 1: at least they think they do. Last week, they threw

2371
01:55:46,440 --> 01:55:48,440
Speaker 1: the ball, you know, they threw the ball eleven times

2372
01:55:48,440 --> 01:55:50,240
Speaker 1: with Josh he was in for fourteen to the first

2373
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:52,960
Speaker 1: fifteen plays where passes they threw. He was in for

2374
01:55:53,040 --> 01:55:57,960
Speaker 1: eleven plays or something like that, and through eleven times

2375
01:55:58,440 --> 01:56:00,200
Speaker 1: or he's in for eighteen plays in the first eleven

2376
01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:03,280
Speaker 1: I'm more throws. So it was you know they had

2377
01:56:03,280 --> 01:56:05,800
Speaker 1: a plan, right, do they go the other way tonight,

2378
01:56:05,880 --> 01:56:07,960
Speaker 1: right is it gonna be? So that's another front that's

2379
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: pretty darn good. I mean, Gerald McCoy, Doantry, Poe Kawan

2380
01:56:11,280 --> 01:56:14,240
Speaker 1: short hello. I think this team is good. And just

2381
01:56:14,320 --> 01:56:15,920
Speaker 1: to wrap things up with you, Chris, I said this

2382
01:56:16,040 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: to Steve and we talked with mc mixon, the voice

2383
01:56:18,520 --> 01:56:21,120
Speaker 1: of the Panthers. This is an intriguing team for me.

2384
01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:24,600
Speaker 1: The Carolina Panthers there, and I'm not unlike the Buffalo Bills,

2385
01:56:24,640 --> 01:56:27,560
Speaker 1: are in a division that as obvious candidates, you know,

2386
01:56:27,800 --> 01:56:29,680
Speaker 1: in this case the Saints to win the division. But

2387
01:56:30,000 --> 01:56:32,000
Speaker 1: they're good. They're just a couple of years removed from

2388
01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,000
Speaker 1: the super Bowl, and we know what happened with their

2389
01:56:34,080 --> 01:56:36,400
Speaker 1: quarterback last year. But I think they're talented. They're good. Yeah.

2390
01:56:36,440 --> 01:56:38,240
Speaker 1: The only part of their team that I'm not overly

2391
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:40,920
Speaker 1: impressed with is the back end. It's okay. You know,

2392
01:56:41,080 --> 01:56:43,880
Speaker 1: Dante Jackson was a high pick, so is Bradberry. I'm

2393
01:56:43,920 --> 01:56:46,440
Speaker 1: not super impressed by Bradberry. More of a physical corner

2394
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:48,440
Speaker 1: than an athletic run with your turn with you to

2395
01:56:48,480 --> 01:56:50,960
Speaker 1: cut with your corner, you gotta beat a few times

2396
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:53,200
Speaker 1: in practice this week, So I think there should be

2397
01:56:53,280 --> 01:56:58,000
Speaker 1: opportunities in the passing game if they want to run

2398
01:56:58,040 --> 01:57:00,680
Speaker 1: the ball. This is a good test to night. Yeah,

2399
01:57:00,800 --> 01:57:03,360
Speaker 1: especially knowing you're facing the Jets in Week one. This

2400
01:57:03,480 --> 01:57:04,920
Speaker 1: is a good test to see where your line is

2401
01:57:04,920 --> 01:57:07,320
Speaker 1: at as a measuring stick, because if you can move

2402
01:57:07,400 --> 01:57:09,960
Speaker 1: that group off the ball, you've got a good shape.

2403
01:57:10,040 --> 01:57:12,160
Speaker 1: You're in good shape to be a balanced offense. Did

2404
01:57:12,240 --> 01:57:14,920
Speaker 1: Jets run a for three? Well, they said they were

2405
01:57:14,960 --> 01:57:17,080
Speaker 1: going to run a three four and Greg william said

2406
01:57:17,080 --> 01:57:19,560
Speaker 1: he would change his defense to accommodate his personnel. But

2407
01:57:20,720 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: it's going to be kind of a hybrid kind of look.

2408
01:57:22,600 --> 01:57:26,240
Speaker 1: And you know who knows really what's safe with one

2409
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,320
Speaker 1: Caroline is running the three fourth the Jets are doing

2410
01:57:28,360 --> 01:57:30,600
Speaker 1: the same, that'll be it will be well yea, And

2411
01:57:30,680 --> 01:57:32,680
Speaker 1: they will play three four teams. I mean Pittsburgh's on

2412
01:57:32,680 --> 01:57:34,120
Speaker 1: the schedule. You have a bunch of other teams that

2413
01:57:34,200 --> 01:57:36,360
Speaker 1: play the three four that are on the Bill schedule

2414
01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:38,680
Speaker 1: this year. But this is a good test for you

2415
01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:40,880
Speaker 1: want to try to see where your your offensive line

2416
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,800
Speaker 1: is at with running the football. Is a good front

2417
01:57:43,840 --> 01:57:46,080
Speaker 1: to do it against. On the website Buffalo Bills dot com,

2418
01:57:46,200 --> 01:57:48,880
Speaker 1: What will folks get from you and your your team

2419
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:51,320
Speaker 1: tonight from this game pre and post game. Yeah up

2420
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:53,640
Speaker 1: now is five players to watch. We kind of pick

2421
01:57:53,720 --> 01:57:56,280
Speaker 1: five players for fans to kind of keep their eye on,

2422
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:58,720
Speaker 1: whether they're in a position battle, whether they need to

2423
01:57:58,840 --> 01:58:03,280
Speaker 1: show more, or whether there is some outstanding question about

2424
01:58:03,360 --> 01:58:06,000
Speaker 1: some area of a player's game. We try to present

2425
01:58:06,200 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 1: like a cornucopia of the roster there to kind of

2426
01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:11,120
Speaker 1: give you an idea of maybe what you might want

2427
01:58:11,160 --> 01:58:13,520
Speaker 1: to pay a little bit closer attention to, which granted

2428
01:58:13,880 --> 01:58:15,600
Speaker 1: is harder on TV than if you're sitting there at

2429
01:58:15,640 --> 01:58:17,640
Speaker 1: the stadium because you're at the mercy of the camera people,

2430
01:58:17,720 --> 01:58:20,000
Speaker 1: But we do our best with that. And then you know,

2431
01:58:20,080 --> 01:58:23,280
Speaker 1: I'll have my live tweeting going on during the game,

2432
01:58:23,360 --> 01:58:25,520
Speaker 1: and then we'll have top three things that we learned

2433
01:58:26,080 --> 01:58:28,560
Speaker 1: after tonight. Maybe we learned something about the run game,

2434
01:58:28,600 --> 01:58:31,720
Speaker 1: Maybe we learned something about maybe how far Matt Barkley's

2435
01:58:31,760 --> 01:58:34,000
Speaker 1: coming after a strong week and you know, being a

2436
01:58:34,080 --> 01:58:36,680
Speaker 1: solid number two. So you know, there's a whole bunch

2437
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,080
Speaker 1: of things that could come out of this. You know,

2438
01:58:38,200 --> 01:58:40,560
Speaker 1: a review on McCoy and where his game is at.

2439
01:58:40,600 --> 01:58:44,280
Speaker 1: All of that stuff is is up for issue and

2440
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:50,000
Speaker 1: debate and reporting on so we'll have it all covered cornucopia. Yeah, yes,

2441
01:58:50,160 --> 01:58:52,880
Speaker 1: I might have overstepped. That's a good radio right there.

2442
01:58:53,760 --> 01:58:55,960
Speaker 1: I think he did use the word correctly. We will check.

2443
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:59,080
Speaker 1: Thank Chris. Yeah, you got Chris Brown. Bills Insider, Buffalo

Speaker 1: the Carolina Panthers. We're asking you today today on the show,

2452
01:59:41,280 --> 01:59:43,920
Speaker 1: what are you looking forward to in tonight's game? From

2453
01:59:43,960 --> 01:59:49,160
Speaker 1: the bill standpoint, a player scheme, an emphasis, a point

2454
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:53,080
Speaker 1: of emphasis, whatever. We'll talk about anything. Yeah, eight three

2455
01:59:55,480 --> 01:59:58,520
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight five fifty two five after

2456
01:59:58,600 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 1: the last four months or three of which were empty. Yeah,

2457
02:00:03,240 --> 02:00:05,560
Speaker 1: it's nice to have these open practices, these these uh

2458
02:00:06,080 --> 02:00:08,480
Speaker 1: joint workouts to talk about get a chance to look

2459
02:00:08,520 --> 02:00:11,280
Speaker 1: at another football team up up close and personal. See

2460
02:00:11,360 --> 02:00:16,240
Speaker 1: your guys compete against their guys one on one across

2461
02:00:16,320 --> 02:00:20,800
Speaker 1: the board. It was it was fun. I mean, it

2462
02:00:20,880 --> 02:00:22,920
Speaker 1: was a fun trip and it was really entertaining, and

2463
02:00:23,000 --> 02:00:25,360
Speaker 1: it was also really informative, and it was gave us

2464
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,440
Speaker 1: a chance to I think more so than even the

2465
02:00:27,480 --> 02:00:31,960
Speaker 1: training camp days and Saint John Fisher. You could really

2466
02:00:32,080 --> 02:00:34,480
Speaker 1: discern a lot of information from the from the reps

2467
02:00:34,520 --> 02:00:36,920
Speaker 1: that we saw on team and the team activities, the

2468
02:00:37,040 --> 02:00:39,360
Speaker 1: one on ones. We saw both the running backs picking

2469
02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:43,400
Speaker 1: up blocks on blitzes, linebackers to the wide receivers going

2470
02:00:43,480 --> 02:00:45,280
Speaker 1: one on one. It was a lot of stuff going on.

2471
02:00:45,440 --> 02:00:50,440
Speaker 1: It was all I can see why coaches like these

2472
02:00:50,600 --> 02:00:53,480
Speaker 1: joint practices, particularly under these circumstances. As I said earlier

2473
02:00:53,520 --> 02:00:55,160
Speaker 1: in the week here and when I came here Monday

2474
02:00:55,240 --> 02:00:56,760
Speaker 1: night Tuesday, I'm thinking, why do we do this? Why

2475
02:00:56,800 --> 02:00:59,320
Speaker 1: do teams do this? By Tuesday afternoon, when I saw

2476
02:00:59,400 --> 02:01:02,680
Speaker 1: the way practice, what was the way the practice was

2477
02:01:02,800 --> 02:01:04,760
Speaker 1: run by each team? I got it. I said, look

2478
02:01:04,760 --> 02:01:07,040
Speaker 1: at the intensity is picked up, right, It's a little

2479
02:01:07,040 --> 02:01:10,080
Speaker 1: bit more intense. It's a different look. Players approach it

2480
02:01:10,120 --> 02:01:12,680
Speaker 1: a little bit differently. It's not quite game tempo. It's

2481
02:01:12,800 --> 02:01:15,800
Speaker 1: it's not certainly not regular season game tempo, but the

2482
02:01:16,240 --> 02:01:18,320
Speaker 1: intensity is kicked up a notch here, half a notch

2483
02:01:18,360 --> 02:01:20,280
Speaker 1: at least, and at some level. I don't want to

2484
02:01:20,400 --> 02:01:22,920
Speaker 1: I don't want to get all philosophical on it, but

2485
02:01:23,400 --> 02:01:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, the culture is really important to Sean McDermott

2486
02:01:26,120 --> 02:01:28,360
Speaker 1: and one of the aspects of going against another team

2487
02:01:28,480 --> 02:01:31,240
Speaker 1: is and particularly even in this environment where every guy's

2488
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:33,880
Speaker 1: kind of making his own way about his own career,

2489
02:01:34,000 --> 02:01:36,040
Speaker 1: you know, he's trying to make the team with you know,

2490
02:01:36,120 --> 02:01:38,360
Speaker 1: with his own skill set and compete one on one.

2491
02:01:40,000 --> 02:01:42,480
Speaker 1: Particularly in the culture we're talking about here in Buffalo,

2492
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:45,360
Speaker 1: there's way more into it than that, because now all

2493
02:01:45,360 --> 02:01:50,200
Speaker 1: of a sudden, they're in different helmets and it's not

2494
02:01:50,360 --> 02:01:52,760
Speaker 1: just it's about you. Yes, certainly you want to play well,

2495
02:01:52,800 --> 02:01:54,400
Speaker 1: you want to compete, you're one on one, but it's

2496
02:01:54,400 --> 02:01:57,320
Speaker 1: also you representing the other guys that are standing back,

2497
02:01:57,320 --> 02:02:00,160
Speaker 1: they're ready to take their rep. It's us against them,

2498
02:02:00,880 --> 02:02:03,960
Speaker 1: and you're for this one rep. You're the representation of

2499
02:02:04,040 --> 02:02:06,320
Speaker 1: all ninety guys on the team. And there's a little

2500
02:02:06,320 --> 02:02:08,640
Speaker 1: bit of weight to that emotional weight, and you know

2501
02:02:09,560 --> 02:02:12,960
Speaker 1: it means something extra, and that's the reason that the

2502
02:02:13,080 --> 02:02:16,720
Speaker 1: intensity that we talk about, Murph, it goes up significantly.

2503
02:02:17,440 --> 02:02:21,360
Speaker 1: You don't want to It's about your status in the

2504
02:02:21,440 --> 02:02:24,240
Speaker 1: locker room as a competitor on behalf of the guys

2505
02:02:24,280 --> 02:02:27,320
Speaker 1: that you're in the same helmet with. That's not a

2506
02:02:27,400 --> 02:02:29,840
Speaker 1: small thing, and that when you want to talk about

2507
02:02:30,000 --> 02:02:32,240
Speaker 1: how the intensity and why the intensity is ramped up,

2508
02:02:32,320 --> 02:02:34,320
Speaker 1: that's a big part of it. That's a big part

2509
02:02:34,360 --> 02:02:36,400
Speaker 1: of it. It's you. It's not just you against this guy.

2510
02:02:36,600 --> 02:02:41,280
Speaker 1: It's all of the guys behind you watching you compete

2511
02:02:41,320 --> 02:02:44,800
Speaker 1: on their behalf against that guy. That is a lot

2512
02:02:44,840 --> 02:02:48,520
Speaker 1: of extra added intensity into that equation that you can

2513
02:02:48,600 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 1: see all over the field. Chris Brown mentioned something that

2514
02:02:51,120 --> 02:02:53,120
Speaker 1: I just want to touch on briefly here, Steve Well.

2515
02:02:53,160 --> 02:02:56,520
Speaker 1: I got you the Jets how impressive they were in

2516
02:02:56,560 --> 02:02:59,960
Speaker 1: their victory over the Falcons twenty two to ten last night.

2517
02:03:00,280 --> 02:03:03,240
Speaker 1: We talked about in the update Sam Donald. He's had

2518
02:03:03,280 --> 02:03:05,880
Speaker 1: two pretty good games. Opening drive last night, Donald leads

2519
02:03:05,880 --> 02:03:09,919
Speaker 1: the Jets sixty six yards down field for a touchdown,

2520
02:03:10,160 --> 02:03:12,480
Speaker 1: five of seven in the game for forty seven yards

2521
02:03:12,480 --> 02:03:14,440
Speaker 1: of a big twenty one yard passed to Robbie Anderson.

2522
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:16,840
Speaker 1: Two games now, Darnald is nine to twelve or one

2523
02:03:16,920 --> 02:03:19,680
Speaker 1: under fourteen yards a couple of scoring drives. So Donald

2524
02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:22,360
Speaker 1: has looked good and according to Chris Brown, and they

2525
02:03:22,400 --> 02:03:24,960
Speaker 1: only gave up ten to Atlanta, the Jets defense has

2526
02:03:25,000 --> 02:03:26,280
Speaker 1: look good. Can I just I said this to you

2527
02:03:26,320 --> 02:03:29,440
Speaker 1: a minute ago. I'm not worried about the jet Jet Maybe,

2528
02:03:29,560 --> 02:03:31,560
Speaker 1: you know, we get to the week before September eighth,

2529
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:33,760
Speaker 1: that's a different story, and I'll watch video and see

2530
02:03:33,760 --> 02:03:36,200
Speaker 1: how they're playing. But you know, the Bills right now,

2531
02:03:36,280 --> 02:03:38,720
Speaker 1: I think the focus is on the Bills and the

2532
02:03:38,840 --> 02:03:41,280
Speaker 1: problems they have to solve, the decisions they have to make.

2533
02:03:41,560 --> 02:03:43,160
Speaker 1: So the Jets have had a couple of good moments

2534
02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:46,240
Speaker 1: in their preseason games so far. Okay, right, I'm not

2535
02:03:46,280 --> 02:03:48,720
Speaker 1: worried yet. It's not time for that yet. No, it's

2536
02:03:48,720 --> 02:03:50,960
Speaker 1: not time for particularly for you and me. Now. Certainly

2537
02:03:51,000 --> 02:03:52,680
Speaker 1: there are guys in the Bills staff and guys that

2538
02:03:52,760 --> 02:03:56,360
Speaker 1: are poring over that film today, watching Sam Darnold, looking

2539
02:03:56,360 --> 02:03:58,440
Speaker 1: at the guys, seeing who might be a good matchup

2540
02:03:58,520 --> 02:04:00,520
Speaker 1: or a bad matchup, watching their defense in front. The

2541
02:04:00,640 --> 02:04:04,040
Speaker 1: Jets have got a formidable defensive front. They're talented up front,

2542
02:04:04,840 --> 02:04:08,240
Speaker 1: and they've got a really good quality coordinator in Greig Williams.

2543
02:04:08,280 --> 02:04:11,200
Speaker 1: They're gonna be handful defensively, But you know we got

2544
02:04:11,640 --> 02:04:15,360
Speaker 1: we got the Panthers tonight, you got the Lions next week,

2545
02:04:15,560 --> 02:04:18,320
Speaker 1: you got the Vikings after that. The Jets will come

2546
02:04:18,360 --> 02:04:20,560
Speaker 1: around when they come around, right, And there's a lot

2547
02:04:20,560 --> 02:04:22,640
Speaker 1: of things that could change between now and then. Let's

2548
02:04:22,680 --> 02:04:24,720
Speaker 1: get to a couple of tweets from the tweet sheet.

2549
02:04:24,760 --> 02:04:27,000
Speaker 1: It is brought to you by Cargan Moving Systems, the

2550
02:04:27,120 --> 02:04:29,800
Speaker 1: official movers of the Buffalo Bills. The question is a

2551
02:04:29,880 --> 02:04:32,080
Speaker 1: simple one. What are you looking for tonight? What exactly

2552
02:04:32,160 --> 02:04:34,360
Speaker 1: are you hoping to see when the Bills hit the

2553
02:04:34,440 --> 02:04:37,960
Speaker 1: field and take on the Carolina Panthers tonight? From David

2554
02:04:38,360 --> 02:04:40,400
Speaker 1: David said, I would like to see Trey White against

2555
02:04:40,440 --> 02:04:43,480
Speaker 1: the Panthers receivers. After being burnt a couple of times

2556
02:04:43,600 --> 02:04:46,160
Speaker 1: by Curtis Samuel, I feel White would be ready for tonight.

2557
02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:47,880
Speaker 1: They have a bit of a chip on the shoulder.

2558
02:04:47,880 --> 02:04:50,240
Speaker 1: What do you think? What are we talking about a

2559
02:04:50,280 --> 02:04:52,320
Speaker 1: game two years ago? Curtis Samuel? Is that what David's

2560
02:04:52,360 --> 02:04:54,240
Speaker 1: referring to? Did he have a big I don't remember too,

2561
02:04:54,720 --> 02:04:56,320
Speaker 1: and you might be right, I do not remember that.

2562
02:04:56,760 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: I think Trey White's had a good camp and a

2563
02:04:58,920 --> 02:05:02,000
Speaker 1: good work of a week of work this week against Carolina.

2564
02:05:02,000 --> 02:05:03,800
Speaker 1: I always like to watch the Tray White play, but

2565
02:05:03,840 --> 02:05:05,800
Speaker 1: it's not at or near the top of my list.

2566
02:05:05,880 --> 02:05:09,280
Speaker 1: He's a starter and he used the potential Pro Bowl candidate.

2567
02:05:10,040 --> 02:05:11,600
Speaker 1: I don't worry about Trey White, and I don't know

2568
02:05:11,600 --> 02:05:13,120
Speaker 1: if I'll be locked down to him tonight for the

2569
02:05:13,240 --> 02:05:16,800
Speaker 1: one quarter or so that he plays. Yeah, I'm I

2570
02:05:16,920 --> 02:05:20,120
Speaker 1: want to watch him play. You notice these I kind

2571
02:05:20,160 --> 02:05:22,680
Speaker 1: of watch, like during the broadcast, I kind of watch

2572
02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:25,000
Speaker 1: up front a little for when the ball snapped. I

2573
02:05:25,040 --> 02:05:27,840
Speaker 1: watched from the inside out. As any watch film and stuff,

2574
02:05:27,880 --> 02:05:30,320
Speaker 1: you watch what happens when the ball is snapped right

2575
02:05:30,360 --> 02:05:32,120
Speaker 1: around the ball, and then you go out from there.

2576
02:05:32,160 --> 02:05:35,800
Speaker 1: As the quarterback drops back, your scope expands and you

2577
02:05:35,960 --> 02:05:38,360
Speaker 1: and you start seeing the whole field, so you know,

2578
02:05:38,480 --> 02:05:40,120
Speaker 1: it's a long time before you get to the corners.

2579
02:05:40,200 --> 02:05:42,920
Speaker 1: Usually only it's at the end of the play and

2580
02:05:43,440 --> 02:05:45,760
Speaker 1: because that's the critical moment when the ball kind of arrives.

2581
02:05:45,800 --> 02:05:47,600
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm not going to spend my time focused

2582
02:05:47,640 --> 02:05:50,840
Speaker 1: on Davious White or any of the defensive backs, even

2583
02:05:50,880 --> 02:05:54,240
Speaker 1: if even if I have picked Kevin Johnson as my

2584
02:05:54,440 --> 02:05:59,320
Speaker 1: surprise contributor in the game. I just want to see

2585
02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:03,360
Speaker 1: defense is about everybody. It's not about one guy and

2586
02:06:03,520 --> 02:06:05,280
Speaker 1: I And that's kind of the way I view it.

2587
02:06:06,400 --> 02:06:08,840
Speaker 1: They got to have eleven guys going and you want

2588
02:06:08,880 --> 02:06:11,520
Speaker 1: to see it that way. But one guy can make

2589
02:06:11,560 --> 02:06:13,480
Speaker 1: the defense look pretty good, even if it's a bad

2590
02:06:13,560 --> 02:06:15,000
Speaker 1: play for them, if he can come up big at

2591
02:06:15,040 --> 02:06:16,800
Speaker 1: the end of it. So yes, and that's where Trey

2592
02:06:16,840 --> 02:06:18,760
Speaker 1: White comes in for me. Bills will get their first

2593
02:06:18,800 --> 02:06:20,920
Speaker 1: preseason game. Look at Micah Hyde to night. He did

2594
02:06:21,000 --> 02:06:25,120
Speaker 1: not play last Thursday, eight days ago against the Indianapolis Colts,

2595
02:06:25,360 --> 02:06:26,920
Speaker 1: had that neck issue of about two and a half

2596
02:06:26,920 --> 02:06:29,240
Speaker 1: three weeks ago, and ready to go tonight. Another tweet

2597
02:06:29,320 --> 02:06:31,800
Speaker 1: from Max was he looking for him today? Max says,

2598
02:06:31,840 --> 02:06:35,520
Speaker 1: I'd really this plays right into your hand, Steve Max says,

2599
02:06:35,520 --> 02:06:37,760
Speaker 1: I'd really like to see Robert Foster put together a

2600
02:06:37,840 --> 02:06:40,680
Speaker 1: nice game, really hoping he continues to develop as he

2601
02:06:40,800 --> 02:06:43,160
Speaker 1: has all the physical traits to be special. I want

2602
02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:45,000
Speaker 1: to see him go out and take it, not sit

2603
02:06:45,120 --> 02:06:47,120
Speaker 1: back and hope. Who doesn't root for that? I would

2604
02:06:47,160 --> 02:06:49,680
Speaker 1: love to see that. Seriously. I agree with you in

2605
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:53,640
Speaker 1: this Robert Foster has not blown anybody away from his

2606
02:06:53,760 --> 02:06:56,520
Speaker 1: first three weeks of training camp. Right, Yes, he's been okay,

2607
02:06:56,600 --> 02:06:58,560
Speaker 1: and he hasn't had much opportunity either anyway. You know,

2608
02:06:58,560 --> 02:07:01,520
Speaker 1: you don't see him taking many reps out there, which

2609
02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:04,600
Speaker 1: is strange to me, which is a contributing factory. The

2610
02:07:04,680 --> 02:07:08,000
Speaker 1: fact he hasn't flashed. We'll see he's I'm with you,

2611
02:07:08,160 --> 02:07:09,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people want to see him just take

2612
02:07:09,840 --> 02:07:11,800
Speaker 1: pick up right where he left off a year ago

2613
02:07:11,880 --> 02:07:13,360
Speaker 1: at the end of the last season when he was

2614
02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:15,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, was it the top three in the

2615
02:07:15,640 --> 02:07:18,040
Speaker 1: league in yards per catch and stuff? You know, the

2616
02:07:18,200 --> 02:07:21,200
Speaker 1: rest of the receiving group has is even out. It's

2617
02:07:21,240 --> 02:07:23,080
Speaker 1: not just Foster and a bunch of guys now, it's

2618
02:07:23,240 --> 02:07:25,800
Speaker 1: Cole Beasley and John Brown, you know what I'm saying.

2619
02:07:25,880 --> 02:07:29,200
Speaker 1: So Foster doesn't have the advantage as a target in

2620
02:07:29,320 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: one sense, then maybe he had a year ago at

2621
02:07:31,040 --> 02:07:32,360
Speaker 1: this day. We're gonna have to wait and see on

2622
02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:35,560
Speaker 1: Robert Foster. Even Sean McDermott didn't seem all that urgent

2623
02:07:36,040 --> 02:07:37,560
Speaker 1: to get a look at him. They think they know

2624
02:07:37,560 --> 02:07:39,320
Speaker 1: what they've gotten him, So we'll see what that means,

2625
02:07:39,400 --> 02:07:42,400
Speaker 1: I think from Nick on the tweet sheet. Also, he says,

2626
02:07:42,400 --> 02:07:44,280
Speaker 1: I don't want to see a ton of Singletary. I

2627
02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:46,640
Speaker 1: want to see him work against starters to see if

2628
02:07:46,680 --> 02:07:52,800
Speaker 1: the hype is real or not. I don't I don't

2629
02:07:52,800 --> 02:07:55,000
Speaker 1: want to expose him to injury. I think he's good.

2630
02:07:55,280 --> 02:07:58,000
Speaker 1: I think Singletary is really good. I'd rather see people

2631
02:07:58,080 --> 02:08:01,920
Speaker 1: like Marcus Murphy, years, Norris Perry, or even DJ Yelling

2632
02:08:02,000 --> 02:08:04,520
Speaker 1: get the snaps tonight. Yeah, I mean, you and I

2633
02:08:04,640 --> 02:08:07,120
Speaker 1: have seen the hype coming out. He was not a

2634
02:08:07,640 --> 02:08:10,640
Speaker 1: hype hype. It's real. He's yeah, exactly, it's real. We've

2635
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,280
Speaker 1: seen it. They know what he can do. The first

2636
02:08:13,320 --> 02:08:15,040
Speaker 1: game last week he showed a couple of things that

2637
02:08:15,080 --> 02:08:17,880
Speaker 1: they know he can do. The hype is real, it's

2638
02:08:17,960 --> 02:08:20,160
Speaker 1: not hype. So I'm with you Murphy. You know, listen,

2639
02:08:21,000 --> 02:08:22,960
Speaker 1: somebody's got to play running back, and he's as good

2640
02:08:22,960 --> 02:08:26,360
Speaker 1: as candidate as anybody. But he's gonna be a good

2641
02:08:26,440 --> 02:08:28,520
Speaker 1: pro player. I think I don't know how good. I don't,

2642
02:08:28,600 --> 02:08:29,720
Speaker 1: you know. I don't know if he's gonna be a

2643
02:08:29,800 --> 02:08:32,400
Speaker 1: Frank Gore La Sean McCoy good, but he's gonna have

2644
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:34,480
Speaker 1: some flashing I think they're gonna happen this season. They're

2645
02:08:34,520 --> 02:08:36,400
Speaker 1: gonna make people really sit up and take notice of it.

2646
02:08:36,920 --> 02:08:39,080
Speaker 1: Would you be stunned if next week going to Detroit,

2647
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:42,320
Speaker 1: when the starters normally play. If if Sean McDermot said

2648
02:08:42,320 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 1: we're starting Devin Singletary running him with the one not

2649
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:46,760
Speaker 1: at all right with the ones, why would you start

2650
02:08:46,840 --> 02:08:48,480
Speaker 1: the other two? Right? You know? I mean, it makes

2651
02:08:48,480 --> 02:08:50,680
Speaker 1: a good sense to start Devin Singletary. Let's take a

2652
02:08:50,760 --> 02:08:55,680
Speaker 1: call here, Jake and Pittsburgh ahead. Jake are on the air. Hey, guys,

2653
02:08:55,920 --> 02:09:01,240
Speaker 1: doing to there? Real good? Great? Hey, so I got

2654
02:09:01,280 --> 02:09:04,920
Speaker 1: a couple of things. Uh, Steve, I was I'm only thirties,

2655
02:09:05,000 --> 02:09:07,920
Speaker 1: so I was a little too young to watch you play.

2656
02:09:08,000 --> 02:09:11,240
Speaker 1: But based on when all these colors say, I really

2657
02:09:11,320 --> 02:09:13,600
Speaker 1: regret not being able to see you, So I got

2658
02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:17,360
Speaker 1: a vote. And then yeah, well that's all right, you

2659
02:09:17,360 --> 02:09:19,520
Speaker 1: don't have to apologize. I never saw you play, but

2660
02:09:19,560 --> 02:09:23,640
Speaker 1: you got my vote for the whole day. That's right.

2661
02:09:23,720 --> 02:09:25,800
Speaker 1: And John, I just love how much you hate the

2662
02:09:25,880 --> 02:09:28,720
Speaker 1: Jet because I'm righting the same vote with you. I

2663
02:09:28,800 --> 02:09:31,720
Speaker 1: think that's great. I hate him worse than any other team, right,

2664
02:09:33,200 --> 02:09:36,800
Speaker 1: that's right. That's right, um. And then so I mean

2665
02:09:37,160 --> 02:09:41,200
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh this last year, and you guys are my

2666
02:09:41,280 --> 02:09:45,040
Speaker 1: saving grace. I listened on the ESPN or the radio

2667
02:09:45,120 --> 02:09:47,480
Speaker 1: dot com app every day that the stuff they put

2668
02:09:47,520 --> 02:09:52,240
Speaker 1: out here is garbage. So um, you're really saving during

2669
02:09:52,280 --> 02:09:55,680
Speaker 1: the day. So thank you for that. Also, I want

2670
02:09:55,760 --> 02:09:59,800
Speaker 1: to see Marcus Murphy make this team. I really think,

2671
02:10:00,600 --> 02:10:03,440
Speaker 1: I really think he's a great running back and he's

2672
02:10:03,480 --> 02:10:06,520
Speaker 1: gonna he didn't do good for us. But also what

2673
02:10:06,640 --> 02:10:09,320
Speaker 1: I really called for was that you've got some great

2674
02:10:09,400 --> 02:10:12,400
Speaker 1: producers on this show. The reason I listen is because

2675
02:10:12,440 --> 02:10:16,560
Speaker 1: you always have guests to have great insight and are

2676
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:23,440
Speaker 1: very uh intriguing to listen to other other sports shows

2677
02:10:24,240 --> 02:10:26,720
Speaker 1: in my opinion that I've listened to don't really have that.

2678
02:10:26,920 --> 02:10:31,600
Speaker 1: So I really appreciate that. And also, if one of

2679
02:10:31,600 --> 02:10:34,240
Speaker 1: you guys could get Brownie a real firm handshake for

2680
02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:36,360
Speaker 1: me because I love when he comes out on the show.

2681
02:10:36,440 --> 02:10:39,400
Speaker 1: He's I'm a big fan of Brownie. That's all I got,

2682
02:10:39,440 --> 02:10:42,720
Speaker 1: guys too, have a good weekend. Thank great, Thanks Jake,

2683
02:10:42,960 --> 02:10:45,080
Speaker 1: thank you. Yeah, we do have great producers and we

2684
02:10:45,160 --> 02:10:47,839
Speaker 1: tease the heck out of Jay Harris, right you especially

2685
02:10:47,920 --> 02:10:50,960
Speaker 1: you you go way over the line, which you do. Yeah,

2686
02:10:50,960 --> 02:10:54,640
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say that's why I'm his favorite, because he

2687
02:10:54,720 --> 02:10:56,800
Speaker 1: knows I love him. But Jay does a great job.

2688
02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:59,280
Speaker 1: All of our crew does, and this week in particular,

2689
02:10:59,360 --> 02:11:01,040
Speaker 1: to set us up down there in Spartanburg in the

2690
02:11:01,120 --> 02:11:03,680
Speaker 1: ninety five degree heat out of patio, I mean, we've

2691
02:11:03,720 --> 02:11:05,120
Speaker 1: never been at this, none of us have never been

2692
02:11:05,160 --> 02:11:07,520
Speaker 1: to Spartanburg, South Carolina. We didn't know what we're getting into.

2693
02:11:08,160 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 1: And then to set us up here in the hotel

2694
02:11:09,880 --> 02:11:12,600
Speaker 1: in Charlotte with a great looking set, looks like the studio.

2695

2722
02:12:48,400 --> 02:12:50,800
Speaker 1: they'll be Bills fans there. Tonight Wood says, there's Bills

2723

Speaker 1: fans all over Charlotte. Every time he has played here.

2724
02:12:55,240 --> 02:12:57,680
Speaker 1: Bills fans are so intense and they're so into it.

2725
02:12:58,080 --> 02:12:59,840
Speaker 1: That they get behind the team. There was a bunch

2726
02:12:59,840 --> 02:13:02,720
Speaker 1: of him in attendance last week in Orchard Park. I

2727
02:13:02,960 --> 02:13:07,840
Speaker 1: was not shocked, but still fired me up. How many

2728
02:13:07,960 --> 02:13:12,160
Speaker 1: Bills fans I could see through feeds that were out

2729
02:13:12,200 --> 02:13:16,080
Speaker 1: at Wofford College watching practice. Bills fans always show up

2730
02:13:16,160 --> 02:13:18,800
Speaker 1: for us in Charlotte. I remember my rookie year in

2731
02:13:18,880 --> 02:13:21,400
Speaker 1: O nine being blown away Charlotte was one of our

2732
02:13:21,440 --> 02:13:25,000
Speaker 1: earlier road trips. Being blown away that when we ended

2733
02:13:25,040 --> 02:13:26,840
Speaker 1: up taking the lead in the fourth quarter and winning

2734
02:13:26,920 --> 02:13:28,880
Speaker 1: the game, and it sounded like a Bill's home game

2735
02:13:29,120 --> 02:13:35,960
Speaker 1: and we were coming off the field to shout song, cheers. Yep,

2736
02:13:36,120 --> 02:13:37,720

2738
02:13:40,040 --> 02:13:41,760
Speaker 1: of work, but it's been good. It's been a really

2739
02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:45,400
Speaker 1: I think, maybe the most important week of the preseason.

2740
02:13:46,760 --> 02:13:49,400
Speaker 1: You say that real quickly. I think I think the
