00:00:30,640 --> 00:00:36,360
Speaker 1: This is One Bill's Live, presented by called Lida Health.

2
00:00:37,080 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 2: Welcome into a Thursday edition of One Bill's Live. Maddie

3
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 2: Glab alongside Steve Tasker today filling in for Chris Brown.

4
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 2: Today is a fast Friday at One Bill's Drive. That

5
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,879
Speaker 2: means in earlier practice, not as much time so the

6
00:00:50,920 --> 00:00:53,159
Speaker 2: guys can get out of the building because they'll be

7
00:00:53,240 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 2: traveling to Chicago tomorrow for the final preseason game. It

8
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:02,160
Speaker 2: is upon us next week Tuesday afternoon is when final

9
00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:06,040
Speaker 2: cuts will be made or will be official, officially official.

10
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:10,959
Speaker 2: So we're starting to turn the page to what in

11
00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:13,440
Speaker 2: season week weeks look like.

12
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 3: Here in Buffalo.

13
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,360
Speaker 1: Five days away, they're gonna have their fifty three men,

14
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see some of the things

15
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,000
Speaker 1: we don't know. How they're gonna handle Von Miller and

16
00:01:24,080 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: his status and how close that mean, and how they

17
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: handle it. How close will that mean or far away

18
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:30,400
Speaker 1: that that means that he's gonna be back in the fold.

19
00:01:31,480 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: How they're gonna shake out the middle linebacker, how they're

20
00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: gonna shake out the offensive line, how many defensive line

21
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: are they're gonna keep. Are there gonna be any personnel

22
00:01:38,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: moves before that Tuesday deadline. You know, there's gonna be

23
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk, always still a lot of

24
00:01:45,880 --> 00:01:47,400
Speaker 1: talk this time of year, where there's gonna.

25
00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 4: Be a trade, Like we need a guy here.

26
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: You guys have a bunch of them, and we got

27
00:01:51,480 --> 00:01:53,200
Speaker 1: a bunch of them here that we don't need any more.

28
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 4: How about let's trade that kind of thing.

29
00:01:55,960 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: Maybe it doesn't happen all that often, but we'll see.

30
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: Plus think about this. This is usually the time of

31
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 1: year when Brandon Bean extends some guy. You know, there's

32
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: usually a guy that has been on the radar for Bills,

33
00:02:10,880 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: fans or whatever, and they say, okay, here you go,

34
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,639
Speaker 1: and they give him a new extension of some guy.

35
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:16,400
Speaker 1: One guy.

36
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,359
Speaker 4: Doesn't mean it's gotta happen, but it has in the past.

37
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:24,480
Speaker 2: About this time, we will see what happens. Several questions

38
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: that need to be answered ahead of that final cut

39
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 2: to fifty three, not really final cut, the only cut

40
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 2: to fifty three because this year there were no cuts

41
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,280
Speaker 2: that were made after each preseason game.

42
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 3: It's new thing this year. You like it better?

43
00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: How come it gives those guys all the reps they

44
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,920
Speaker 1: need they can stay hang around. That gets them to

45
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 1: this last preseason game where they.

46
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:47,680
Speaker 4: Can all play.

47
00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: And I think, why bring a guy in, give him

48
00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: a two weeks of camp, and then cut him before

49
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,760
Speaker 1: the first preseason game. That's one of the usual first

50
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: cuts where they go from well and the way back.

51
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: It was like from one hundred and fifteen down to nineties,

52
00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: you know. But you get these guys and sign them

53
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 1: to a contract, you think they've got a chance to

54
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:09,720
Speaker 1: on a team that they think they've got a chance

55
00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 1: to make. Give them a chance to play and hang

56
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: around for an entire training camp.

57
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:17,080
Speaker 4: Guys will get a lot out of this.

58
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: And it's good for the league too, because that last

59
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: preseason game becomes something better. Not that it's anything more valuable.

60
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:31,119
Speaker 1: It's just better for the coaches, for the players, and

61
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: I just like it better just that one last cut,

62
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,720
Speaker 1: and here's the day, guys. And it's kind of a.

63
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,560
Speaker 2: Roadblock for some speaking of guys getting an opportunity to,

64
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: you know, put some tape together, put some film together,

65
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 2: being on this same team for your training camp instead

66
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: of making several cuts after preseason games. The other thing

67
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 2: is these players also get more time within an offense

68
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 2: or defense, so you're gonna get to learn the system

69
00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 2: a little bit better rather than being cut after a

70
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: first preseason game, than going to a new team and

71
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,080
Speaker 2: having to pick up that offense, and then the fate

72
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 2: of your career is decided on partially how quickly you

73
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 2: can pick up an NFL offense or defense a new one,

74
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: implement that, and showcase the skills that you have on

75
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,440
Speaker 2: the field. So I kind of like it for that

76
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:24,320
Speaker 2: reason as well. These guys get a full couple of

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 2: months here in this system to be able to show

78
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: the coaches, all right, this is how I learned it,

79
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:31,919
Speaker 2: This is how it looks on the field for me.

80
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:35,200
Speaker 2: This is how and why I think I believe that

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:39,520
Speaker 2: I should play a part on this team. Sean McDermott

82
00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 2: met with the media on Thursday, early afternoon. I almost

83
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: said Friday, because today is a Friday in this building.

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 2: Spoke to the media at eleven o'clock and he did

85
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: announce that Josh Allen and the starters will see the

86
00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:58,040
Speaker 2: field against the Chicago Bears on Saturday at one o'clock.

87
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:01,080
Speaker 2: How much time will they play, we do not know.

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:04,120
Speaker 2: He didn't have an answer on if they would play

89
00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:06,880
Speaker 2: a quarter and a half, a quarter a series, what

90
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 2: that'll look like. But we will see the starters again

91
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 2: on Saturday. What do you think about that, Steve throwing

92
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 2: Josh Allen and the starters out there.

93
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,120
Speaker 1: A little surprised? Yea, certainly. I don't know that it's

94
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,760
Speaker 1: sending a message, although I don't think they have. They

95
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:25,599
Speaker 1: have played and maybe they have played like this in

96
00:05:25,640 --> 00:05:26,520
Speaker 1: the last in a few.

97
00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 2: Last year, Josh Allen played in one game. It was

98
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:33,799
Speaker 2: the second preseason game. The starters as well. Josh Allen

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 2: did not play in the final preseason game. I don't

100
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,839
Speaker 2: think the other starters did as well. Maybe a couple

101
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 2: were out there, but I believe your your Stefan Diggs,

102
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:46,200
Speaker 2: kind of those type of players also sat in that final.

103
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,479
Speaker 1: Preseason so I think it is a little different, and

104
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: I think it has to do with the way they

105
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,360
Speaker 1: played in Pittsburgh. Re least started the game in Pittsburgh,

106
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:54,760
Speaker 1: and you know they've.

107
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:56,760
Speaker 5: This.

108
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's making a statement. I don't think he's any

109
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,320
Speaker 1: question about it.

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,360
Speaker 4: And I don't know that Josh went out and played bad.

111
00:06:02,760 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 5: I don't.

112
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: In fact, I know he didn't play badly. But if

113
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,360
Speaker 1: you're going to make an example and set an example

114
00:06:08,360 --> 00:06:11,320
Speaker 1: for the team, started at the with the best players,

115
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 1: because the guys who are not the best players get

116
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 1: the message loud and clear. If Josh has to play,

117
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,440
Speaker 1: I know they're not going to cut him. They may

118
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 1: cut me if I jump off sides, or if I

119
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: make another penalty, if I drop another pass, or if

120
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 1: I miss another tackle. It becomes apparent that nobody is

121
00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,640
Speaker 1: safe from being held accountable. And when you start with

122
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,840
Speaker 1: your best players like Sean mcdermoy's doing, it does send

123
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: the message loud and clear. I'm sure they're going to

124
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,039
Speaker 1: get it.

125
00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:41,800
Speaker 4: It'll be it'll yeah.

126
00:06:41,839 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: But as with all this stuff, it's like, oh my gosh,

127
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:45,479
Speaker 1: don't let anything bad happen.

128
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 3: Yeah.

129
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 2: Josh Allen played the entire first quarter against the Steelers.

130
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 2: He was seven of ten for sixty four passing yards,

131
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 2: had an eighty seven point one passer rating, wasn't able

132
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: to score any touchdowns of Steelers defensive line. They were

133
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: putting the pressure on the offensive line. So we'll see

134
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: what that looks like against the Chicago Bears. And speaking

135
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 2: of the offensive line, the depth has kind of been

136
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:12,840
Speaker 2: The depth has taken a hit at the offensive line,

137
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:16,240
Speaker 2: with Brandon Shell announcing that he would retire last week

138
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 2: and then news coming out of the Steelers game that

139
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,960
Speaker 2: Tommy Doyle is going to be out for the season,

140
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:25,880
Speaker 2: and when Sean McDermott also spoke to the media on

141
00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:30,400
Speaker 2: Friday morning, he said that Connor McGovern was not going

142
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,560
Speaker 2: to be practicing today. He was not out on the

143
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: practice field. Did not give us a timeline for when

144
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 2: he expects Connor McGovern to be back. He said, well,

145
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 2: we'll see how it goes for him. I'm not putting

146
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:48,120
Speaker 2: a label on that. Dorian Williams also missing practice on Friday.

147
00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to bring up the list of the other

148
00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:52,280
Speaker 2: guys here because there were quite a few ones. He

149
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,360
Speaker 2: said that von Miller does remain on the pup list,

150
00:07:56,800 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 2: so no movement there. A new thing this week, I

151
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 2: would say is that von Miller was working off to

152
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:06,880
Speaker 2: the side, which he has been doing.

153
00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,200
Speaker 3: But the new addition.

154
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 2: With that was he did have pants and pads on

155
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 2: in the lower half of his body, and he did

156
00:08:15,800 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 2: have a helmet on that he was working off to

157
00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 2: the side with. So that's kind of been the case

158
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: the last few days. Khalil Shakir was not at practice either,

159
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 2: not practicing, I should say he was working off to

160
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 2: the side. Terrell Bernard also not practicing. Uh so a

161
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 2: few guys that are still out with injuries. Uh Terrell

162
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 2: Bernard has been out for the last two weeks.

163
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 4: I want to say ham string injuries.

164
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:49,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they're they've got some guys that are

165
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 1: nicked up. Connor mcgovernor's the most is the most concerning.

166
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,400
Speaker 2: Matt Barklay and Jordan Mims, where the other two guys

167
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:56,400
Speaker 2: that were not practicing.

168
00:08:56,640 --> 00:09:01,360
Speaker 1: Mcgovernment got tweaked yesterday and and there's no question they're

169
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,640
Speaker 1: going to be extremely cautious with him to make sure

170
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,679
Speaker 1: he gets back as fast as possible because he's their

171
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: left guard and starting left garden has I mean they

172
00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,800
Speaker 1: signed him and plugged him in right away and he's

173
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:14,520
Speaker 1: been great, So no reason to think that there's at

174
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: this point is going to be anything serious. But they

175
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, all those names you listed, Connor

176
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,200
Speaker 1: McGovern being the most of which, and then you know,

177
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:25,280
Speaker 1: Brandon Shell's gone, Tommy Doyle's gone. All of a sudden,

178
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: three guys that actually we're going to be in the

179
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 1: mix aren't available.

180
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a big and who knows, So I mean,

181
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 2: hopefully Connor McGovern is back soon and this injury is

182
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 2: not a big deal or anything like that, you could

183
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,040
Speaker 2: look at look at it as a positive that Sean

184
00:09:42,080 --> 00:09:44,840
Speaker 2: didn't want to put a timeline on it, because it

185
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 2: must not be entirely serious to the point where it's

186
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: a Tommy Doyle type injury where it's hey, he's out

187
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 2: for the entire season. So hopefully this is something where

188
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 2: Connor McGovern can work on it this week and come

189
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,840
Speaker 2: back and be ready for the season, be ready for

190
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 2: that first week of in season practices leading up to

191
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:04,680
Speaker 2: that Monday night game against.

192
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 3: The Jets in Week one.

193
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 2: But you look at this offensive line, you look at

194
00:10:09,080 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: the injuries that this team went through last season, The

195
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 2: depth in almost every position group took a hit, and

196
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 2: you don't want to see that heading into your first

197
00:10:21,960 --> 00:10:26,760
Speaker 2: game against an AFC East opponent, against a Jets team

198
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 2: that was really good on defense last year. They will

199
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: be good on defense again this season, a top five,

200
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 2: top ten type of defense.

201
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:37,440
Speaker 3: You want that depth to be there.

202
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,080
Speaker 2: You want your starters to be healthy, and a guy

203
00:10:41,160 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 2: like Connor McGovern, who is a new player on this

204
00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: offensive line, who is going to provide some life to

205
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 2: the offensive line, who is a good athlete who is

206
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: a younger player who has a lot of starting experience

207
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,559
Speaker 2: under his belt at the Dallas Cowboys. You want him

208
00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 2: to be there for that first game.

209
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 3: So hopefully this is no big deal. Hopefully next week.

210
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:06,959
Speaker 2: We're talking about him being back on the practice field,

211
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,719
Speaker 2: so we will pay attention to that and keep you

212
00:11:09,760 --> 00:11:14,000
Speaker 2: guys updated on his status his health. Matt Barkley also

213
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:18,160
Speaker 2: not practicing with that elbow injury that he suffered in

214
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 2: the game against the Steelers that second preseason game. Well,

215
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 2: I was wondering, are we going to see him at

216
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,360
Speaker 2: practice at all this week? How does that change your

217
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 2: game plan for going up against the Bears. Yesterday was

218
00:11:32,480 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 2: kind of talking through it with people, like, hey, if

219
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: Josh isn't going to play and Matt Barkley isn't going

220
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 2: to play, we didn't have news on Josh Allen playing yet,

221
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,040
Speaker 2: so this is now updated news. But is Kyle Allen

222
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: going to have to go out there for the entire game?

223
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 2: We know Josh Allen will play a portion of this game.

224
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,920
Speaker 2: I'm not sure if Matt Barkley will play because he

225
00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:55,960
Speaker 2: has not been yet this week.

226
00:11:57,120 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 1: I would say he won't play because he's not practicing

227
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: at all even today and walk in a light practice.

228
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:06,040
Speaker 1: So it looks like Kyle Allen's going to go the distance.

229
00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:09,440
Speaker 2: And then you wonder about that. So Kyle Allen's going

230
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: to go the distance. Kyle Allen could play a full

231
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:17,160
Speaker 2: three quarters. Yeah, let's hope this guy doesn't come out

232
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:19,640
Speaker 2: of the game for any reason, because if Matt Barkley

233
00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:21,719
Speaker 2: is hurt and Kyle Allen has to come out of

234
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:23,839
Speaker 2: the game, then who are you putting back in there?

235
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 3: Josh Allen.

236
00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:26,839
Speaker 4: Yeah, well that's that's the thing.

237
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 1: And if you do, if it comes to that, you

238
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: can bet Josh Allen will be handing the ball off

239
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: a lot.

240
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:36,200
Speaker 4: Yeah that's I don't know.

241
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, you always worry about this stuff. But let's let's say,

242
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 1: I know the game doesn't mean anything, so it's you

243
00:12:42,080 --> 00:12:43,040
Speaker 1: think it might not be worth it.

244
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 4: But if.

245
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,800
Speaker 1: They all, if they practical play the first game against

246
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:51,320
Speaker 1: the Jets on Monday night, somebody gets hurt just because

247
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: the game meant something doesn't mean you get him back.

248
00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: You know, the game's a risk. It takes.

249
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,680
Speaker 1: You just got to live with it. It's something we all, yes,

250
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 1: have to get used to. It does sound incredibly risky,

251
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 1: to play them in a preseason game.

252
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,319
Speaker 4: It's not. It's probably less risky than a regular season game.

253
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 4: I don't know. It feels like that, although there's nothing that.

254
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: Says that that's true. It's a risk. Playing football is

255
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,679
Speaker 1: a risk. You can't get caught up in it. Man,

256
00:13:19,679 --> 00:13:21,640
Speaker 1: If you got if your team says the guy's gotta

257
00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: play because you're you're shallow at that position, you don't

258
00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 1: have enough guys, that's it. Strap it up, let's go.

259
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: Doesn't mean you have to be happy about it, or

260
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: any of the fans have to be happy about it.

261
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 1: But those players aren't gonna bother with it. They're gonna

262
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: be They're gonna be fine with it. Everybody would rather

263
00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 1: play than stand and watch. So just let them play.

264
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 1: And I'm you know, I'm I know everybody's you're gonna

265
00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,960
Speaker 1: be throwing their hands up, wondering, worrying about Josh, you know,

266
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:55,000
Speaker 1: you know, getting a hang nail. But whatever. They got

267
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,200
Speaker 1: to get ready to what they're this is all focusing on,

268
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,160
Speaker 1: is getting ready for the Jets on opening night on

269
00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:03,880
Speaker 1: Monday Night football Week one in MetLife against the Rogers

270
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: and the Jets.

271
00:14:04,559 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 2: So and it's it's hard to balance us seeing guys

272
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: go down in practices and us seeing guys go down

273
00:14:11,320 --> 00:14:15,360
Speaker 2: during preseason games, and then you put guys out there

274
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 2: for the last preseason.

275
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: Game and you're hoping how in their favor.

276
00:14:19,240 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: But yeah, you know, we've already seen this team take

277
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 2: a hit with injuries in the preseason and we don't

278
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 2: want that to happen anymore leading up to this week

279
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: one game against the Jets. Hopefully that is not the case.

280
00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 2: We've got a question for you guys today because there

281
00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:41,040
Speaker 2: are still ongoing position battles as we approach this game

282
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:44,840
Speaker 2: against the Jets on Monday night. So since Saturday marks

283
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 2: the final preseason game, we want to know what position

284
00:14:48,800 --> 00:14:51,760
Speaker 2: battle that you want to see decided in that game

285
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 2: against the Bears. One o'clock kick is your time for that,

286
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 2: So tweet us or give us a call at eighth three,

287
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:00,160
Speaker 2: five point fifty. Do you want to see that cornerback

288
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:02,720
Speaker 2: position battle settled? Do you want to see the linebacker

289
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: position battle settled? Do you want to see the battle

290
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 2: at right guard settled between Osiris Torrance and Ryan Bates?

291
00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:11,440
Speaker 3: What do you want to see?

292
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 2: Figure it out on the field On Saturday afternoon in Chicago,

293
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,040
Speaker 2: let us know your answers. Will be taking phone calls

294
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 2: and we'll be reading off your answers to the questions

295
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:25,840
Speaker 2: on our tweetsheet later in the show. But plenty of

296
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,880
Speaker 2: NFL news and notes, So let's go around the NFL

297
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,800
Speaker 2: presented by Kalida Health. Clida Health is the official healthcare

298
00:15:32,880 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: system of the Buffalo Bills. And first we'll talk about

299
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 2: the Indianapolis Colts. So they're fielding inquiries trade offers about

300
00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 2: running back Jonathan Taylor. They did give a deadline of

301
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:55,520
Speaker 2: belief that was Tuesday for Jonathan Taylor to field those calls,

302
00:15:57,320 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 2: you know where he could be traded to. The Dolphins

303
00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:04,840
Speaker 2: are a team that they're looking for a running back.

304
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:09,600
Speaker 2: They kind of wanted to see if Josh Jacobs is available.

305
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 2: They made a call to the Raiders, to the Raiders

306
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: to see if Josh Jacobs would be somebody that they

307
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 2: could go after. Doesn't look like that's going to happen.

308
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 2: So is Jonathan Taylor? Could that be something that the

309
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 2: Dolphins are interested in? What do you think about Jonathan

310
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:34,400
Speaker 2: Taylor looking elsewhere granting him permission to do so.

311
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 1: I mean, we talked about this a little bit yesterday

312
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:40,800
Speaker 1: and I just don't think the market's going to be anything,

313
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: and particularly the player. He's going to go out and

314
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: find his trade and he may come back. He may

315
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: come back to the Colts and say, don't trade me

316
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:50,760
Speaker 1: for that, you know, don't trade me to those guys.

317
00:16:51,640 --> 00:16:53,360
Speaker 1: I don't think he's going to get a warm welcome

318
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: on the trade market. He's coming off an injury, he's

319
00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:01,960
Speaker 1: a running back, and he wants big money, and all

320
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 1: three of those things are not good for him. Unfortunately

321
00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor, the Colts hold all the cards, I

322
00:17:11,880 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: mean whatever, for whatever reason that you know, they're the one.

323
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:18,600
Speaker 1: If he wants to play this year and extend his

324
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 1: career and make himself more valuable, he better play. He

325
00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,640
Speaker 1: better get on the field and play somehow, some way.

326
00:17:29,600 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 2: So the Colts have given Taylor until Tuesday to find

327
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 2: a suitable trade, after authorizing that he could go ahead

328
00:17:37,320 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 2: and do that. This week, six teams have inquired about

329
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 2: Taylor's availability. Two of them have engaged with the Colts

330
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:50,399
Speaker 2: and talking offers, including the Miami Dolphins. That's according to

331
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 2: a source telling ESPN. It's unclear at least right now,

332
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,720
Speaker 2: whether a team is willing to meet the Colts's trade demands,

333
00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 2: which have been described by Or as being a first

334
00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: round pick or a package of picks worth a similar

335
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 2: value first round pick running backs.

336
00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 3: It's tough with with that.

337
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:13,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, nobody's gonna nobody. Nobody's gonna trade a first

338
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: round pick for Saquon Barkley, let alone one of these

339
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: other guys, Josh Jacobs, Jonathan Taylor. They won't do it.

340
00:18:23,400 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah.

341
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 2: Another piece of news in the NFL, the Cardinals are

342
00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 2: trading Isaiah Simmons to the Giants for a twenty twenty

343
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:38,120
Speaker 2: four to seventh round draft pick. Isaiah Simmons, you're thinking, oh,

344
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,280
Speaker 2: that sounds like a familiar name. That's because he was

345
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: a former first round pick, is the eighth pick of

346
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty NFL draft, not fitting with the fourty.

347
00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: Nine ers, so he's a little bit of a tweener or.

348
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:56,800
Speaker 2: The Cardinals, so they're gonna go ahead and trade him.

349
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:01,720
Speaker 2: He's a tweener linebacker, you know, a type of guy

350
00:19:01,920 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 2: who could play safety, who could play linebacker, and the

351
00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 2: Cardinals not really finding a fit for him, so he

352
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: will go ahead to the Giants, and people out of

353
00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 2: Giants Country are saying watch out because our defensive coordinator

354
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:21,800
Speaker 2: is going to find a place for him, figure out

355
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 2: how he fits within defense and make it work. So

356
00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:29,080
Speaker 2: that'll be interesting to see how they peg him as

357
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,040
Speaker 2: a defensive player, see what they have in store for him.

358
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:38,119
Speaker 2: But a seventh round pick for somebody who was drafted

359
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,880
Speaker 2: in the first round eighth overall of the twenty twenty

360
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 2: NFL Draft. Played first three seasons with the Cardinals. Started

361
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 2: in seven games his rookie year, then started in seventeen

362
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,640
Speaker 2: and twenty twenty one and thirteen and twenty twenty two.

363
00:19:56,680 --> 00:20:02,119
Speaker 2: Had four interceptions in his career, had two hundred and

364
00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,199
Speaker 2: fifty eight combined tackles.

365
00:20:05,760 --> 00:20:07,600
Speaker 1: Well, it took him a long time his rookie year

366
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:09,840
Speaker 1: to get on the field as a number eight overall pick,

367
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: which is a little bit disconcerting for a guy who's

368
00:20:15,880 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: just that kind of player, kind of a read and react,

369
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:20,199
Speaker 1: go get him kind of player. Took him forever to

370
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,480
Speaker 1: get on the field, and then when he did, they

371
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,560
Speaker 1: had they had a hard time finding a spot where

372
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: he could really excel. And the Giants must feel like

373
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 1: he gives them something. Certainly, he's an athlete, and that's

374
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,639
Speaker 1: the one thing about him. He's he's a tremendous athlete,

375
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,159
Speaker 1: but he's not quite fast enough or shifty enough to

376
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:45,920
Speaker 1: play safety, and he's not quite big enough to play linebacker.

377
00:20:47,440 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: But he is fast.

378
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 4: He's a little bit like a Micah Parsons type of guy.

379
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 3: He's six four to two thirty eight, right, so.

380
00:20:54,600 --> 00:20:59,399
Speaker 1: He's tall, but just I don't know why he's not

381
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:06,479
Speaker 1: fit or can't play inside linebacker, but he had a

382
00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: hard time fitting into the defense.

383
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: He ran a four to three nine at the combine.

384
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:15,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so that you know it's they had a hard

385
00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:18,800
Speaker 1: time find a spot for him. He's one of those athletes.

386
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,760
Speaker 1: So we'll see what the Giants can do. Martindale the

387
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: guy at the New York Giants with Brian Dable, he'll

388
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,640
Speaker 1: figure it out and give him a shot at it.

389
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:28,600
Speaker 4: It'll be interesting to see.

390
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: I I tend to worry about guys who had a

391
00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: hard time getting on the field for a bad team.

392
00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:38,640
Speaker 2: He was a twenty nineteen ACC Defensive Player of the Year.

393
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 2: Has a rare blend of size, speed and athleticism. But

394
00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 2: Arizona just couldn't find a fit for him. So that's

395
00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 2: why they decided. You know, we're going to go ahead

396
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,160
Speaker 2: and trade a player like this. It's interesting though, because

397
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 2: within the NFL, in today's NFL and how teams play defense,

398
00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,639
Speaker 2: you always hear about a positionless player. That's a big

399
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,119
Speaker 2: That's something that we hear quite a bit in the

400
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 2: NFL today. And I think if he goes to the

401
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: right team, the right defensive coordinator, positionless player can be

402
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 2: used in a positive way.

403
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 3: It seems like with the Cardinals.

404
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 2: It was not a positive thing because they couldn't find

405
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 2: a true fit for somebody like him who is a

406
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:21,240
Speaker 2: tweener linebacker. Will the answer be for the New York Giants,

407
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:25,080
Speaker 2: can Brian Daboll and wing Martin Dale figure out? Okay,

408
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:26,840
Speaker 2: this is how we're going to get the best out

409
00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,479
Speaker 2: of a player like this, a tweener type player. When

410
00:22:29,520 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 2: you're putting different packages out there on the field.

411
00:22:33,200 --> 00:22:38,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be interesting. I get it.

412
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 5: Though.

413
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:42,040
Speaker 1: The Giants, on their part, they're trying to get better

414
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,879
Speaker 1: and better athletes. Better play seem to will make you better.

415
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:49,480
Speaker 1: They need guys who can make things happen. Simmons is

416
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,720
Speaker 1: one of those guys who, Gosh, he has all the

417
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:54,960
Speaker 1: things you want. He's got these these six ' four

418
00:22:55,440 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: almost two hundred and forty pounds and can really run.

419
00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:01,960
Speaker 1: But there's something in that kept him from being a

420
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,159
Speaker 1: dominant player for the Cardinals, even actually getting on the

421
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,639
Speaker 1: field early on in his career. Maybe the game's too

422
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: intellectual form at this level.

423
00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:11,080
Speaker 4: I don't know.

424
00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: Maybe he doesn't have the work ethics. Maybe he's a

425
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:16,199
Speaker 1: bad guy. I have no idea, but there is a

426
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:20,080
Speaker 1: reason he doesn't fit in Arizona, and that, to me is.

427
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 4: Unbelievable.

428
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: The Giants are obviously thinking what I'm thinking, thinking that

429
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 1: seventh round draft pick for this guy. He's got a

430
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:32,960
Speaker 1: first round talent. Physical you get a guy like Brian

431
00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,399
Speaker 1: Dabele and wing Martin Dale, they'll say, listen, we got him.

432
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,680
Speaker 1: That's this way. NFL coaches are, I can fix this guy.

433
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: Give us a chance, and certainly I don't care who

434
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: it is on the Giants roster. Isaiah sim is going

435
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:48,360
Speaker 1: to be a better athlete than the guy, so we'll

436
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 1: So the Giants got to feel like, hey, I of

437
00:23:50,440 --> 00:23:51,760
Speaker 1: course comes to the wors. At least a guy can

438
00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 1: cover kicks.

439
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:53,760
Speaker 3: Upside up right.

440
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 2: Corey Davis, former New York Jets wide receiver, announced he's

441
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 2: retiring yesterday. He was a fifth or overall pick in

442
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,840
Speaker 2: the first round of the twenty seventeen NFL Draft. He

443
00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,520
Speaker 2: played for the Titans for a few seasons before playing

444
00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 2: for the Jets for a season. Announced that he was

445
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,959
Speaker 2: stepping away from football, and in his post that he

446
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 2: put on Twitter and on Instagram, he said that he's

447
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 2: been doing some soul searching for some time. Man a

448
00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 2: few words, but feels that it's best to step away

449
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,240
Speaker 2: from the game, thanking his family and friends and the

450
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:32,600
Speaker 2: Jets organization for supporting him through this process.

451
00:24:32,800 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's top ten pick in.

452
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 2: The draft, twenty eight years old.

453
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: I got to tell you this, Brownie, and I have

454
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 1: been talking about this a lot lately, with Brandon Shell retiring,

455
00:24:46,640 --> 00:24:49,400
Speaker 1: a couple other guys around the league retiring, and now

456
00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:51,919
Speaker 1: you know, you've got Corey Davis stepping away. And he

457
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,280
Speaker 1: was he was a high draft pick, so he signed

458
00:24:55,280 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 1: an extremely lucrative deal even as a rookie. And you

459
00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,199
Speaker 1: just are reminded how difficult this game is. And you

460
00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: get a young guy twenty eight years old and he's saying, Man,

461
00:25:08,320 --> 00:25:09,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do it anymore.

462
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: I got you look at your bank account. You've made

463
00:25:11,560 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: a lot of money through doing it. The game just

464
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:18,080
Speaker 1: asks so much of these young guys, and some of

465
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: them are just done giving it and call it quits.

466
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: I'll never I'll never criticize a guy for retiring, that's

467
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:27,320
Speaker 1: for sure.

Speaker 2: with the New York Jets for thirty seven and a

470
00:25:32,400 --> 00:25:35,400
Speaker 2: half million dollars. His best season with the Titans came

471
00:25:35,480 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 2: in twenty twenty, when he had nine hundred and eighty

472

Speaker 2: the forty nine Ers in San Francisco is that they

481
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 2: will try to seek some trade options for a guy

482
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,200
Speaker 2: like Trey Lance, who I want to say they they

483
00:26:16,320 --> 00:26:18,919
Speaker 2: traded a few picks to move up for him in

484
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:21,560
Speaker 2: the NFL Draft when they drafted and moved up to the.

485
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 1: Third pick in the twenty twenty one draft and took

486
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 1: Trey Lance and he was supposed to replace Jimmy.

487
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 3: Garoppolo, which he did.

488
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 2: He had a few games and then he got hurt

489
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: and then Brock Party came in and Brock Party did

490
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:42,119
Speaker 2: what Rock Party did, won the job.

491
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's a that's a big swing and a miss.

492
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 3: And Trey Lance was going to be Yeah, that's a.

493
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 1: Big swing and a miss. Uh for the for the

494
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,439
Speaker 1: Niners on a quarterback, but I get it. Yeah, the

495
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 1: Bills franchise, we went through it for a couple of

496
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: decades looking for the right guy, trying to kind a

497
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,359
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. And you think, for sure, you've got this

498
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: guy pegged and he's gonna be the guy, and he

499
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 1: looks good and it's gonna be great, and it doesn't.

500
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 1: It just doesn't work out for any one of a

501
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 1: million reasons. And now that now it happens to other

502
00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:17,639
Speaker 1: teams as well, not just the Bills. Trey Lance a

503
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: number third overall pick in the draft and they're moving

504
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,359
Speaker 1: on and he got beat out by Sam Darnold and

505
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: Brock Purdy, who is close to being a guy named

506
00:27:27,960 --> 00:27:30,160
Speaker 1: mister Irrelevant, I mean, he was drafted so loow.

507
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 5: So.

508
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: It's it's unbelievable how badly teams can miss on these guys.

509
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: They traded three first round picks in one third rounder

510
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,119
Speaker 2: to move up in the NFL Draft in the twenty

511
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 2: twenty one draft to acquire the number three pick, which

512
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:51,919
Speaker 2: they used on Trey Lance. The thing is is, with

513
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,439
Speaker 2: a guy like this, do you think he got the

514
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:56,399
Speaker 2: shot that he deserved.

515
00:27:58,560 --> 00:28:01,920
Speaker 1: Trey Lance? Yeah, absolutely, more so. He got more than

516
00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,119
Speaker 1: his He got more so than he deserved because of

517
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:07,920
Speaker 1: the investment they had in him. He might have been

518
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,320
Speaker 1: out of there two years ago had he not, had

519
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,120
Speaker 1: they not traded up, if they would have waited their

520
00:28:13,119 --> 00:28:15,639
Speaker 1: turn and drafted him in the second or third round

521
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: or fourth round or wherever he was available at their

522
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: regular pick, he would be out of there already. But

523
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:24,320
Speaker 1: there's three first round picks and a third in there.

524
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:27,479
Speaker 1: They had to give him every possible chance, and they

525
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,640
Speaker 1: brought him along slowly as well. I mean, they gave

526
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:32,680
Speaker 1: him every chance to apply himself, to get better in

527
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:36,120
Speaker 1: the off season, to make his way and get good

528
00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 1: enough practice. Watch film, learn the offense, watch other guys

529
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:44,400
Speaker 1: run the offense while He's sitting there in this incubation

530
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: process and he couldn't get it done. So he got

531
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: more than enough chance. He got the kind of chances

532
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:55,160
Speaker 1: that you get when you cost what he cost them.

533
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 2: But he had a season ending ankle injury last year.

534
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 2: He really just had one year. You're gonna move up

535
00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:07,160
Speaker 2: in the draft and trade three first round picks, give

536
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: your guy one year, then you have a season ending injury,

537
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 2: and then Brock Party comes in, and then your next

538
00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:18,920
Speaker 2: season he's not even gonna be your quarterback two.

539
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:21,320
Speaker 3: That's crazy.

540
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:25,200
Speaker 1: He couldn't beat out Brock Party or Sam Donald.

541
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,240
Speaker 3: Well, brock Purty caused Sam Donald.

542
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: Bottle, Sam Donald, I mean, listen, you gotta play. You

543
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:37,280
Speaker 1: can't just you gotta play. And they're these guys are

544
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:41,040
Speaker 1: watching these guys all the time. They're watching them all

545
00:29:41,120 --> 00:29:45,200
Speaker 1: the time, and all of a sudden, I just you

546
00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: get to the point where every guy that you've brought in,

547
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo, Brock Purty, Sam Donald, all the other guys

548
00:29:54,160 --> 00:29:59,040
Speaker 1: that they've had over the years, Trey Lance couldn't beat a.

549
00:29:58,920 --> 00:29:59,719
Speaker 4: Single one of them out.

550
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: Reason he got the job last year because everybody felt

551
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: it was gone. They got rid of everybody who could

552
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,760
Speaker 1: possibly beat him out, and then the guy they brought

553
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,240
Speaker 1: in off the Brock Purdy, who is just a Charlie

554
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:15,680
Speaker 1: bag of donuts, has now stolen the job from him.

555
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: I would just think if you spent that much on him,

556
00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,320
Speaker 2: you would maybe want to keep him around for just

557
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: a little bit longer, even if he's not going to

558
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 2: be the starting quarterback. But hey, if you can trade

559
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 2: and you can find something for him, then maybe you're

560
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: doing the right job.

561
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 4: I get it.

562
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:39,040
Speaker 3: But to trade three first round picks, third year and

563
00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 3: he's off your team.

564
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:43,640
Speaker 2: In his third NFL season, dude didn't even get through

565
00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:47,120
Speaker 2: his rookie contract with his original team and he's out

566
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:47,560
Speaker 2: of the door.

567
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:48,200
Speaker 5: You might be.

568
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 1: You might say, and I'll say this too.

569
00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 3: Whose fault is his fault or the coaches?

570
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,000
Speaker 1: Well, it's or both. It's a good question. It's fair

571
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 1: question because I think in San Francisco with Kyle Shanahan this,

572
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 1: they've got a roster that is ready to win. Now,

573
00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: they ain't gonna They're not there about developing some young

574
00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: guy and wait until wait until he's fifth year, is

575
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:18,480
Speaker 1: third year, in the third year, even coming off an injury. Mentally,

576
00:31:18,520 --> 00:31:22,200
Speaker 1: you should be way out ahead of everything, and he's

577
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: just he doesn't seem like he is. I don't know.

578
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 2: I think year three, even if you're not gonna be

579
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: a starter, you've moved all your chips to the middle,

580
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,920
Speaker 2: and you said we're all in on this guy. I

581
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Speaker 2: understand they've got the pieces. I understand they're they're in

582
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:45,240
Speaker 2: win now mode, but I think it's it's crazy for

583
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 2: them to now move on with the guy that you

584
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 2: traded so much for, to move up in the draft for,

585
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 2: and now are like, you know what, we're gonna see

586
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 2: if other teams want him because we don't want him.

587
00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: Ugh uh, why did you do it in the first place?

588
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: There's the question. All right, we've got a lot more

589
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:07,400
Speaker 2: left in our show today. We're just getting started. Remember

590
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 2: a question for the day is what position battle do

591
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:13,240
Speaker 2: you want to see decided in Saturday's pre season finale.

592
00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,800
Speaker 2: Give us a call eighth, three, five fifty or tweet

593
00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:18,160
Speaker 2: at us. We're come back next on One Bill's Live

594
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 2: or presented by Clydeahealth on Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

595
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 2: we're back on One Bill's Live.

596
00:32:39,240 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 3: We're still talking.

597
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: We talk about Brock Party and Trey Lance is unexplainable.

598
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: Yes, because I think as a quarterback, there are some

599
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 2: quarterbacks who just come out of the woodworks who got

600
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: drafted way lower than how they're playing on the field,

601
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:59,320
Speaker 2: cousins like Kirk Cousins, and you really can't explain it.

602
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 4: Brady sixth rounder.

603
00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,160
Speaker 2: The scouts just missed out on what they what they

604
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: saw in the field was not how this guy is

605
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 2: playing in the NFL today. Who knows how long brock

606
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:16,880
Speaker 2: Purty is going to look incredible in a forty the.

607
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 3: Starter of this team.

608
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:19,840
Speaker 1: Let me just point out what you're saying here. You're

609
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:23,200
Speaker 1: saying brock Purty with all of like at the time

610
00:33:23,240 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 1: of this these games, with all of eight months with

611
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, he is being I don't know,

612
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: what do you say, coddle. I mean, he just got promoted.

613
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: Just let him play. As opposed to Trey Lance, who

614
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: they invested three first round picks into and three years

615
00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: of his career. And now because brock Purty came in

616
00:33:46,480 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 1: and eight months did what Trey Lance has never been

617
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,040
Speaker 1: able to do, you think Trey Lance is being mistreated?

618
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 3: Okay, Trey Lance has played in.

619
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:04,040
Speaker 2: Eight NFL games, He's started in four in his career.

620
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 2: He also had an injury in the first season that

621
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,200
Speaker 2: he played in the NFL in twenty twenty one. He

622
00:34:10,280 --> 00:34:13,120
Speaker 2: was coming in coming out of games. He was coming

623
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 2: in for Jimmy G when Jimmy G would come off

624
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 2: the field. There was that first game that he played

625
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 2: in significant time, which was Week five, Week four of

626
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,080
Speaker 2: the twenty twenty one season, he relieved Jimmy G who

627
00:34:24,120 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: came off the field and was hurt. They lost that game,

628
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 2: so then he kept playing, but then he was injured

629
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,719
Speaker 2: in Week seven. So this guy didn't really even see

630
00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:37,440
Speaker 2: consistency in his first NFL season. Then in the twenty

631
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:40,840
Speaker 2: twenty two season, he played in two games before suffering

632
00:34:40,880 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 2: a season ending ankle injury, so there's also no consistency

633
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:45,640
Speaker 2: with that.

634
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 3: And then he.

635
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:51,480
Speaker 2: Comes back in twenty twenty three to compete, does not

636
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,720
Speaker 2: win quarterback two job. According to reports, Sam Darnold beats

637
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,240
Speaker 2: him out. Brock Party is going to be the starter

638
00:34:58,360 --> 00:35:00,239
Speaker 2: for the forty nine ers. Brock Purty is all also

639
00:35:00,520 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 2: played in only nine NFL games, has started in five,

640
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 2: so he's made more starts than Trey Lance. Do you

641
00:35:07,280 --> 00:35:10,520
Speaker 2: know exactly what you have in brock Purty yet you don't.

642
00:35:10,920 --> 00:35:11,319
Speaker 3: You don't.

643
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:15,120
Speaker 2: He's played one NFL season, not even one. He's played

644
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 2: part of an NFL season. I think sure you could

645
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: see the riding on the walls and training camp like this,

646
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:22,959
Speaker 2: this guy is gonna be our guy.

647
00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:24,600
Speaker 3: But he's only played.

648
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,080
Speaker 2: One NFL season. I'm not saying that Trey Lance is

649
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:29,800
Speaker 2: the answer for the forty nine ers. I'm just saying,

650
00:35:30,080 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 2: how can you bail How can you bail on him

651
00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:37,919
Speaker 2: when you invested so much in him from the from

652
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:40,839
Speaker 2: the start, from the jump. Your scouts believed in him,

653
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:44,440
Speaker 2: your coaching staff believed in him. Your owner probably believed

654
00:35:44,440 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 2: in him as well. And now you're just you're done

655
00:35:47,320 --> 00:35:50,919
Speaker 2: with it. And brock Purty has had about the same

656
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,279
Speaker 2: amount of experience. Sure, he's played better when he's been

657
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: on the field. It was really fun to watch him

658
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,040
Speaker 2: in those first TV games when he came out. It

659
00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 2: was like, who is this guy that is wheeling and

660
00:36:02,320 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 2: dealing for the forty nine ers. But let's go back

661
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 2: to Josh Allen and what Josh Allen did in his

662
00:36:08,280 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 2: first few seasons.

663
00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,200
Speaker 3: As a Buffalo Bill.

664
00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,760
Speaker 2: After year one, it was like, this guy is raw.

665
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:17,879
Speaker 2: Things need to things need to get better for him.

666
00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 2: Completion percentage was a big deal for Josh in his

667
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:23,880
Speaker 2: first year. Need to get that number up, need to

668
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: get the consistency up, need to get the chemistry up

669
00:36:27,200 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 2: with his wide receivers. The Bills didn't know after year

670
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:35,000
Speaker 2: one with Josh Allen, is this gonna be our guy

671
00:36:35,200 --> 00:36:35,920
Speaker 2: for the future.

672
00:36:36,120 --> 00:36:36,560
Speaker 1: I don't know.

673
00:36:36,640 --> 00:36:39,440
Speaker 2: See, here's the thing, it takes a couple seasons to

674
00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:39,880
Speaker 2: know that.

675
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: I get eighteen his rookie season. They didn't want him

676
00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 1: to play. He was forced to play because of the

677
00:36:45,960 --> 00:36:52,160
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman debacle. And so then he goes in at eighteen.

678
00:36:52,239 --> 00:36:55,960
Speaker 1: By the end of and you could see even casual fan,

679
00:36:56,080 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 1: let's guy, let's go back to Joe.

680
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:59,799
Speaker 4: I mean, you could see that even casual.

681
00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,439
Speaker 1: Fans could see Josh Allen play better from one week

682
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: to the next week, to the next week, to the

683
00:37:03,920 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 1: next week to the next week. By the end of eighteen, Remember,

684
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 1: he single handedly almost beat the Miami Dolphins, and it

685
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:15,759
Speaker 1: was it was a drop touchdown at the last play

686
00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:16,240
Speaker 1: of the game.

687
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 4: Off the guy's face mass. The tight end for.

688
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:22,440
Speaker 1: The Bills, I can't remember his name, The tight end

689
00:37:22,480 --> 00:37:24,640
Speaker 1: for the Bills off his face mass or the Bills

690
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,360
Speaker 1: win that game. That's the one where Josh ran circles

691
00:37:27,360 --> 00:37:31,240
Speaker 1: around Keiko Alonso all day. He almost did that single handly.

692
00:37:31,320 --> 00:37:32,799
Speaker 1: So at the end of that season is the rookie

693
00:37:32,800 --> 00:37:36,919
Speaker 1: season that you know what, that's the guy. Forget about

694
00:37:37,000 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 1: erictt that's the guy. You knew it at the end

695
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:41,920
Speaker 1: of his rookie season. Now, twenty nineteen they came in

696
00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: and they had some work to do. But in nineteen

697
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 1: they got to the playoffs too behind Josh and that

698
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 1: Remember they had a sixteen point lead at halftime of

699
00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: the Texans game right in that playoff. So all that

700
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: stuff going on, Josh was the guy, and you could

701
00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: tell he was getting better and better and better. There

702
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:04,399
Speaker 1: was a top end that he was going to reach.

703
00:38:04,440 --> 00:38:06,920
Speaker 1: You could tell that early on. So you and I

704
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 1: are sitting here in Buffalo. We don't watch Trey Lance practice,

705
00:38:09,360 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 1: we ain't watched all his starts, we didn't watch him

706
00:38:11,080 --> 00:38:12,840
Speaker 1: in the preseason all that, so we can't say we

707
00:38:13,000 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 1: know about Trey Lance what we knew about Josh at

708
00:38:15,040 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: the time. But somebody out there is watching him and

709
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: they don't think. They don't think he can outplay and

710
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 1: I'd hate to chuck. Yes, I'd hate to chuckle when

711
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 1: I say Sam dram and Sam Darnald. So I get

712
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: it that Trey Lance has got some athletic ability. He's

713
00:38:31,920 --> 00:38:35,919
Speaker 1: got a live arm, no question. And he might even

714
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:38,600
Speaker 1: be kind of a cooler, kind of slick back up

715
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:42,960
Speaker 1: to Josh because he's more like Josh right. But I

716
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,760
Speaker 1: don't know that I can say the Niners have mucked

717
00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:51,279
Speaker 1: it up with him. You know, if Jimmy Garoppolo can

718
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: keep you on the bench, bro, you gotta do some

719
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,840
Speaker 1: soul searching. You know, if Sam Darnald beat you out

720
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,280
Speaker 1: of an offense you've been running this being your third

721
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,359
Speaker 1: year and Sam Darnold comes in and beats you out,

722
00:39:07,960 --> 00:39:10,960
Speaker 1: that you got some his third year.

723
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:13,320
Speaker 2: If he was out like all of last.

724
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 1: Season, doesn't mean he was on Mars. I mean he's

725
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:18,200
Speaker 1: in the building watching film. He's with these guys. I

726
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:20,399
Speaker 1: mean he knows this stuff. You've got to be able

727
00:39:20,400 --> 00:39:23,120
Speaker 1: to execute something you've been in and around for three years.

728
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying he's a total loss. And I

729
00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 1: We'll see how Jimmy Garoppolo plays in Vegas. But Jimmy's

730
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:42,720
Speaker 1: not setting the world on fire, hasn't yet his greatest

731
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,239
Speaker 1: claim to fame was that Bill Belichick was going to

732
00:39:45,360 --> 00:39:51,960
Speaker 1: trade Tom Brady and keep him or so so we've heard. Yeah, yeah,

733
00:39:52,520 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I I'm not. I have a

734
00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: hard time like and I I get it too being

735
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,239
Speaker 1: Trey Lances and I want to laugh, make a joke,

736
00:40:03,280 --> 00:40:05,440
Speaker 1: but being him is tough. You get traded to the

737
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,680
Speaker 1: San Francisco forty nine, traded up for by the San

738
00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: Francisco forty nine ers. They give up three ones and

739
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: a three. How are you gonna live up to that?

740
00:40:14,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 2: Right?

741
00:40:15,400 --> 00:40:18,160
Speaker 1: How are you gonna Unless you are a Josh Allen

742
00:40:18,680 --> 00:40:22,760
Speaker 1: or Lamar Jackson, or a Pat Mahomes or Joe Burrow

743
00:40:23,320 --> 00:40:27,040
Speaker 1: or even a Justin Herbert, you can't. You don't live

744
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,720
Speaker 1: up to it anything less than getting your team wins

745
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 1: by your own two hands without any help from your teammates,

746
00:40:34,440 --> 00:40:38,160
Speaker 1: like Josh is done, like Mahomes done. You know you're

747
00:40:38,160 --> 00:40:40,520
Speaker 1: not gonna live up to three firsts and a third.

748
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:45,520
Speaker 1: So there's that. Man, oh man, three years is a

749
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:46,319
Speaker 1: long time, though.

750
00:40:47,160 --> 00:40:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's a bigger question on the fort Well.

751
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:53,320
Speaker 4: The thing is gonna be. I think this is gonna

752
00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:54,520
Speaker 4: be his fourth year, right.

753
00:40:54,520 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 3: This will be no, this is this is year three

754
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:57,560
Speaker 3: for him.

755
00:40:58,760 --> 00:41:01,399
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, that does make it.

756
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 4: I get it. So it's two full.

757
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 2: Seasons, yeah, where he's played in eight games and started

758
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 2: in four across two seasons. Brock has started in five

759
00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:13,520
Speaker 2: and played in.

760
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,399
Speaker 3: Nine in his first season last year.

761
00:41:17,160 --> 00:41:19,480
Speaker 2: And the point that I make about Josh and early

762
00:41:19,560 --> 00:41:23,840
Speaker 2: on in his career isn't to say that we didn't

763
00:41:23,920 --> 00:41:26,799
Speaker 2: know if Josh was gonna be the guy. It's how

764
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:31,480
Speaker 2: does this improve from year to year? And the Bills

765
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:33,440
Speaker 2: were able to see that in Josh from year one

766
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:36,840
Speaker 2: to year two to year three. Rock Perty is entering

767
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,359
Speaker 2: year two in his NFL career. What we saw in

768
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:46,319
Speaker 2: nine games from him was insane. Can he do that

769
00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:46,959
Speaker 2: in year two?

770
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 4: I mean, well, here's the thing.

771
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,240
Speaker 2: Hope, So for the forty nine ers sake, the forty.

772
00:41:51,120 --> 00:41:53,040
Speaker 1: Nine ers thinking, But here's the thing, man, he can't

773
00:41:53,040 --> 00:41:53,560
Speaker 1: just do that.

774
00:41:53,680 --> 00:41:55,359
Speaker 3: He's gonna have you gotta take it to the next time.

775
00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 4: Yet you gotta go, you gotta keep He did.

776
00:41:57,440 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 2: Sixty seven percent of his passes.

777
00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:05,600
Speaker 1: Keep going. Because I think even with Kyle Shanahan, who's

778
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: a brilliant play caller and offensive mind, even with him

779
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,080
Speaker 1: pulling the strings. You got to be able to give

780
00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:17,799
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan more at his disposal because of your skill set.

781
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 1: You got to expand so that the offense can go

782
00:42:20,239 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 1: new places.

783
00:42:21,120 --> 00:42:23,439
Speaker 2: There's also a lot of pressure on him this year,

784
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,080
Speaker 2: on a young guy in year two in your NFL career,

785
00:42:26,360 --> 00:42:28,840
Speaker 2: when you didn't know you'd be the starter.

786
00:42:28,960 --> 00:42:30,840
Speaker 3: When you when you came.

787
00:42:30,680 --> 00:42:34,160
Speaker 2: On to the team, you were you were backing people up,

788
00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 2: and then the guy you were backing up got hurt.

789
00:42:37,440 --> 00:42:39,319
Speaker 2: So it was your time to go in because there

790
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:42,279
Speaker 2: was nobody else who could play at that position. And

791
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:45,560
Speaker 2: now you're entering your second NFL season and you're a

792
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:48,239
Speaker 2: part of a team, which is awesome to be a

793
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:50,120
Speaker 2: part of a team who is in win now mode.

794
00:42:50,320 --> 00:42:52,320
Speaker 4: Let's just there's pressure.

795
00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:56,120
Speaker 3: Its pressure, see what you can do. Seventh round pick.

796
00:42:56,239 --> 00:42:59,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's where the pressure comes from. There they

797
00:42:59,160 --> 00:43:02,000
Speaker 1: got there go to win the Super Bowl. You got

798
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,520
Speaker 1: people pick Aaron Shatz picking the Bills and the Niners

799
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl. I mean, you got some guys,

800
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:10,959
Speaker 1: people who are you know, looking at that roster saying

801
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:13,239
Speaker 1: you're the p If there's a problem, it's you.

802
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,640
Speaker 2: I mean, he was the final pick in the twenty

803
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:20,360
Speaker 2: twenty two NFL Draft and have all this riding on

804
00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:21,160
Speaker 2: his coat tails.

805
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:23,439
Speaker 3: That's a lot.

806
00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:25,040
Speaker 2: Good for him, good for him.

807
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right, though, he does gain a little something

808
00:43:31,400 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 1: by taking the Niners where they went last year in

809
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:40,680
Speaker 1: those nine games, because he was really good. And I

810
00:43:40,960 --> 00:43:44,799
Speaker 1: guess the here and now always outweighs the what you

811
00:43:44,840 --> 00:43:46,799
Speaker 1: did for me back then and the Trey Lance and

812
00:43:46,840 --> 00:43:48,839
Speaker 1: the investment they put in Trey Lance. I mean, they're

813
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:54,520
Speaker 1: still paying that price and to have him be the

814
00:43:54,560 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 1: third guy, and they're saying like, we'll listen to offers

815
00:43:57,480 --> 00:44:00,600
Speaker 1: on him. Man, oh man, things change a lot in.

816
00:44:00,560 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 2: Twenty four months. What's gonna happen? What's his future going

817
00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:04,919
Speaker 2: to be? I hope that he goes to a team

818
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:08,640
Speaker 2: where where you are around the right coaching staff who

819
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,879
Speaker 2: can mold you into the player that is the best

820
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 2: version of yourself.

821
00:44:12,960 --> 00:44:15,760
Speaker 1: Well, how come that coaching staff can mold brock Purty

822
00:44:16,120 --> 00:44:19,759
Speaker 1: and not Trey Lance. That's the question. Yeah, that's it's all.

823
00:44:19,800 --> 00:44:23,799
Speaker 1: It's it's him. It's not brock Purty, it's not Kyles,

824
00:44:23,960 --> 00:44:27,520
Speaker 1: it's him. That's the That's where it's at. If you're

825
00:44:27,560 --> 00:44:30,240
Speaker 1: in a place for two full years and you can't

826
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: hold off the last guy drafted and a guy who's

827
00:44:34,120 --> 00:44:38,680
Speaker 1: been a bust at two different stops. It's you.

828
00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:42,640
Speaker 4: It's not Kyle Shanahan, It's not the Niners. It's you.

829
00:44:43,880 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: That's and that's where. That's why he is on the

830
00:44:47,239 --> 00:44:49,400
Speaker 1: trading block. In my opinion, it doesn't make him a

831
00:44:49,440 --> 00:44:52,719
Speaker 1: bad guy, but it ain't working in San Francisco, and

832
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,560
Speaker 1: it works for other guys in San Francisco.

833
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,720
Speaker 2: Maybe he can go somewhere else and find the right people,

834
00:44:57,920 --> 00:45:00,560
Speaker 2: because it's not it wasn't whether it's him or whether

835
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:02,879
Speaker 2: it's the forty nine ers, or whether it's both of them.

836
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:05,359
Speaker 2: There may be a better match out there for you.

837
00:45:05,640 --> 00:45:07,120
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying about this.

838
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:11,080
Speaker 1: Who do we know who's now a head coach who

839
00:45:11,200 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 1: had great success molding a young quarterback Brian Dabole and

840
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,000
Speaker 1: the New York Giants.

841
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:19,560
Speaker 2: Yeah.

842
00:45:20,440 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 1: That that that throws a little pebble into the calm

843
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: waters of my mind.

844
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:29,439
Speaker 4: There's a little ripples going on that I could see.

845
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: Now. I don't know that the Niners would love him

846
00:45:31,080 --> 00:45:33,320
Speaker 1: in the but the NFC East better than the NFC West.

847
00:45:33,360 --> 00:45:37,319
Speaker 1: Wherever else, If the IF and the the Giants just

848
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,160
Speaker 1: traded for Isaiah Simmons, the guy we were talking about

849
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:40,960
Speaker 1: in the opening.

850
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 2: Segment, which I'm excited to see how he works in

851
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:45,680
Speaker 2: that defense too.

852
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:48,800
Speaker 4: We'll see that's cool. Trey Lance would be really intriguing

853
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:49,719
Speaker 4: trip and.

854
00:45:49,760 --> 00:45:51,720
Speaker 3: It'll be intriguing to see wherever he goes.

855
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,920
Speaker 1: Yeah will Yeah that And.

856
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,480
Speaker 2: Maybe he's just a bust and that's that's that's his

857
00:45:58,280 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: NFL story.

858
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:06,120
Speaker 1: Maybe, but another chance to fix guys, So we'll see interesting.

859
00:46:06,239 --> 00:46:09,040
Speaker 2: All right, I'm done talking about this, I promise, I promise.

Speaker 3: Come out of that.

882
00:47:38,400 --> 00:47:41,439
Speaker 2: So many people have a story to tell about RJ.

883
00:47:41,840 --> 00:47:43,759
Speaker 2: I didn't really get to know RJ that well.

884
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,680
Speaker 3: I came in in twenty nineteen.

885
00:47:45,400 --> 00:47:47,759
Speaker 2: So I think I got to meet him maybe in

886
00:47:47,880 --> 00:47:51,719
Speaker 2: passing once or twice. But if you talk to anybody

887
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:55,239
Speaker 2: who is from this area who was born here, a

888
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:59,080
Speaker 2: lot of people will say I used to do RJ

889
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:03,240
Speaker 2: calls in my driveway. He's the reason why love the Sabers.

890
00:48:03,280 --> 00:48:06,040
Speaker 2: He's the reasons reason why I love sports. He's the

891
00:48:06,080 --> 00:48:08,400
Speaker 2: reason why I love hockey and I think when you

892
00:48:08,480 --> 00:48:12,319
Speaker 2: hear multiple people say something that says something like that

893
00:48:12,560 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: about one person, it means that they were an incredible

894
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,319
Speaker 2: human and they did a really good job at their job.

895
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:25,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, and it's rare, I think in these days for

896
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:27,840
Speaker 1: a play by play guy to become a part of

897
00:48:27,840 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 1: the team's identity when they come on the air, and

898
00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: so many it was an era where not every Sabers

899
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:38,520
Speaker 1: game was on TV, so you had to listen to

900
00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:44,240
Speaker 1: had to listen, and he was the personality of the team.

901
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,560
Speaker 1: He was he gave you an insight as to what

902
00:48:46,600 --> 00:48:50,560
Speaker 1: they were like, and his interest and his enthusiasm was

903
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:54,520
Speaker 1: your enthusiasm. And I think that's a lost art for

904
00:48:54,600 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: the most part, because you know, there's so many you know, well,

905
00:49:00,360 --> 00:49:02,600
Speaker 1: there's too many people telling them play by play guys.

906
00:49:02,640 --> 00:49:04,560
Speaker 1: They can't be like that anymore, right, you gotta be

907
00:49:04,680 --> 00:49:09,359
Speaker 1: you gotta be objective. And I'm I love a homer call.

908
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,520
Speaker 1: I mean I I when we do the games on TV,

909
00:49:12,600 --> 00:49:17,200
Speaker 1: Andrew Catalan and I I'm on, I am unapologetic homer

910
00:49:17,440 --> 00:49:19,360
Speaker 1: for the Bills. I you know, it's our team. I

911
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:22,000
Speaker 1: love these guys and that other team stinks. I'm not

912
00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna mention them, right, So, uh, I get that from

913
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,440
Speaker 1: guys like Rich Jennerett, who gives you license to do that.

914
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,319
Speaker 1: He did it, I liked it, and that's why I

915
00:49:31,360 --> 00:49:35,080
Speaker 1: love it. I'm going to do it too. So, yeah,

916
00:49:35,239 --> 00:49:38,160
Speaker 1: it's part of the heritage of people in buff I've

917
00:49:38,160 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 1: been in Buffalo pushing between thirty five and forty years.

918
00:49:40,920 --> 00:49:45,520
Speaker 1: I can't remember exactly, but yeah, it's Yeah, it's part

919
00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:47,359
Speaker 1: of my heritage with as a hockey fan too.

920
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:47,680
Speaker 6: Yeah.

921
00:49:47,719 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 2: He had been a big impact on this community and

922
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,160
Speaker 2: played a big role I think in a lot of

923
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 2: people and their fandom around the Sabers and and why

924
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:59,280
Speaker 2: they love this team. A lot of exciting things ahead

925
00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:01,919
Speaker 2: for the Sabers. I'm pumped about the season that they're

926
00:50:01,920 --> 00:50:04,760
Speaker 2: going to have. All right, let's get into our tweet

927
00:50:04,800 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 2: sheet here. It's brought to you by the Corgan Moving Systems,

928
00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills, and

929
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,799
Speaker 2: our question today, what position battle do you want to

930
00:50:13,840 --> 00:50:18,879
Speaker 2: see decided in Saturday's preseason finale. We'll go first from Jake.

931
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:21,839
Speaker 2: He says, I really wish the middle linebacker position battle

932
00:50:21,840 --> 00:50:24,120
Speaker 2: would get figured out. If I were being I would

933
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,200
Speaker 2: have pulled the trigger on a seventh for Isaiah Simmons.

934
00:50:27,239 --> 00:50:29,200
Speaker 2: I don't think we have the talent on the team

935
00:50:29,280 --> 00:50:32,440
Speaker 2: right now for middle linebacker to not be a target

936
00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 2: for opposing offenses. Isaiah Simmons and Buffalo that would be

937
00:50:37,719 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 2: interesting because I believe they could they could find a

938
00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 2: role for him. I think Sean McDermott's going to be

939
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 2: a great defensive coordinator. I think, you know, positionless football,

940
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:51,279
Speaker 2: positionless players with what offenses are throwing out there too,

941
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,920
Speaker 2: tight end sets, slot receivers that don't look like slot receivers,

942
00:50:55,960 --> 00:50:57,799
Speaker 2: things like that, you could find a role for a

943
00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:00,759
Speaker 2: guy like Isaiah Simmons. But focusing on this team, on

944
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:03,359
Speaker 2: the middle linebacker position, the guys that they have in it,

945
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,200
Speaker 2: We've seen a lot from Tyrell Dodson and AJ Klein

946
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:10,760
Speaker 2: because Terrell Bernard really hasn't been in the mix. Baylin

947
00:51:10,760 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 2: Inspector still getting some time there a little bit, but

948
00:51:13,760 --> 00:51:17,880
Speaker 2: not as much as Tyrell Dodson and AJ Klein. So

949
00:51:18,440 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 2: still a big question there with who is going to

950
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:24,720
Speaker 2: start at that position. Dorian Williams was getting some reps

951
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: in the beginning, but they kind of said, you know,

952
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:29,000
Speaker 2: we're gonna move him to the weak side, have him

953
00:51:29,080 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: learn that, and then in the future maybe he will

954
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 2: move over to that middle linebacker spot. But right now

955
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,919
Speaker 2: we just want him to learn the defense because that's

956
00:51:37,239 --> 00:51:39,120
Speaker 2: a big enough task as it is.

957
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, this middle linebacker thing is is I think Terrell

958
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:48,200
Speaker 1: Bernard really threw a wrench intil he got hurt because

959
00:51:48,239 --> 00:51:50,760
Speaker 1: they needed to see what he could do, and nobody

960
00:51:50,760 --> 00:51:52,880
Speaker 1: has really gripped it and taken it away from the others.

961
00:51:53,239 --> 00:51:55,279
Speaker 1: And I don't think But even having said that, I

962
00:51:55,320 --> 00:51:58,919
Speaker 1: don't think there's any I don't think anybody feels any

963
00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:02,879
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a clutching pearl clutching over having

964
00:52:02,880 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 1: a guy to play there that can really get it done,

965
00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:10,160
Speaker 1: because those guys played when Tremaine didn't play when he

966
00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 1: was here, and they've been in this system, so I

967
00:52:13,400 --> 00:52:16,520
Speaker 1: think they have a certain level of trust in these guys,

968
00:52:16,960 --> 00:52:20,879
Speaker 1: whoever it is, Bernard, Dodson or Klein. I don't think

969
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,440
Speaker 1: there's any hesitancy about using any of those guys. But

970
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:28,680
Speaker 1: like I said, none of them is significant at this point,

971
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: significantly better than the other two. So I'm I don't

972
00:52:32,560 --> 00:52:34,719
Speaker 1: think that's a reason for concern. I just think it's

973
00:52:35,760 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: here's a question. Yeah, I just think it's something they

974
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 1: got to deal with.

975
00:52:38,800 --> 00:52:41,799
Speaker 2: Do you think that there's a world where they could

976
00:52:41,920 --> 00:52:45,600
Speaker 2: rotate at that position? That's what they did last year

977
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,840
Speaker 2: with the cornerbacks. We saw Dame Jackson, we saw Christian Benford,

978
00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,200
Speaker 2: and we saw kyer Elam all play at that position.

979
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,200
Speaker 1: It's a fair question they could and give them situations.

980
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:56,839
Speaker 1: It's play to their strengths.

981
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:57,240
Speaker 3: Strengths.

982
00:52:57,920 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: If Dodson's better in coverage, put him in on third

983
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:06,160
Speaker 1: and long. If the reverse is true of Terrell Bernard

984
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:08,520
Speaker 1: is better at coverage, put him in third and long,

985
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:10,680
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. At first down you put Dodson in,

986
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,160
Speaker 1: or first down he put Bernard in, or put Kleine

987
00:53:13,200 --> 00:53:16,160
Speaker 1: in and whatever. So yeah, you could see see him

988
00:53:16,200 --> 00:53:18,640
Speaker 1: doing that. Or it could be more like the cornerback

989
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:21,520
Speaker 1: rotation you said, where it'd be a series here, a

990
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:24,480
Speaker 1: series there. You take every down and distance for a

991
00:53:24,520 --> 00:53:25,239
Speaker 1: stretch of the game.

992
00:53:25,320 --> 00:53:27,760
Speaker 2: I don't think you can do that with every defense.

993
00:53:27,840 --> 00:53:30,080
Speaker 2: I think you can do that with defenses that have

994
00:53:30,200 --> 00:53:33,520
Speaker 2: veteran players in it. I think this defense has a

995
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:35,120
Speaker 2: lot of veteran players in it, and I think you

996
00:53:35,160 --> 00:53:37,960
Speaker 2: can get away with something like that, rotating guys in

997
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: depending on their strengths, depending on the type of team

998
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 2: that we're going to be playing against, which those offenses

999
00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:46,400
Speaker 2: they look different from week to week. So maybe you

1000
00:53:46,400 --> 00:53:48,000
Speaker 2: want to go with one guy this week, maybe you

1001
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,200
Speaker 2: want to go with another guy the next week.

1002
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:51,839
Speaker 3: We're going to take a break here.

1003
00:53:51,880 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 2: When we come back, coming up to thirtieth, we're going

1004
00:53:54,560 --> 00:53:56,800
Speaker 2: to hear from Quinton Morris. He spoke to the media

1005
00:53:56,840 --> 00:53:59,480
Speaker 2: today after practice, So don't go anywhere. On One Bill's

1006
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:00,839
Speaker 2: Live of My Clyda Health.

1007
00:54:01,160 --> 00:54:39,000
Speaker 7: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1008
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:49,719
Speaker 1: It's One Bill's Live, presented by Calledlida Health.

1009
00:54:51,040 --> 00:54:54,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back into One Bill's Live, Dy Glad alongside Steve Taskar,

1010
00:54:54,840 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 2: as we take you through the final hour of today's show.

1011
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 3: We've got a question for you.

1012
00:54:59,239 --> 00:55:02,480
Speaker 2: What position do you want to see decided in Saturday's

1013
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:05,839
Speaker 2: pre season finale. Who do you want to see win

1014
00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,680
Speaker 2: the job? What do you want to see settled? Ahead

1015
00:55:08,760 --> 00:55:12,920
Speaker 2: of the cuts to the final fifty three on Tuesday afternoon,

1016
00:55:12,960 --> 00:55:16,799
Speaker 2: that's August twenty ninth, Jack says he'd like to see

1017
00:55:16,800 --> 00:55:20,400
Speaker 2: the middle linebacker battle settled, but he says with Bernard

1018
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 2: and Williams likely out. I expect it to not be resolved.

1019
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 2: That's Terrell Bernard and Dorian Williams, he says. Salkpaccio has

1020
00:55:29,480 --> 00:55:33,000
Speaker 2: wondered on air if the starting MIC linebacker may currently

1021
00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,439
Speaker 2: not be on the roster. He also says I would

1022
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,080
Speaker 2: like to see the bottom two wide receiver wide receiver

1023
00:55:39,200 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 2: settled on Saturday, Andy Isabella, Justin Shorter, and Tyrol Shavers.

1024
00:55:44,680 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 2: Sounds like Shakir may not go. Yes, Kalo Shakir has

1025
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 2: not been practicing this week, so his status for Saturday's

1026
00:55:52,880 --> 00:55:57,360
Speaker 2: game is up in the air at this point. What

1027
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,919
Speaker 2: do you think about the potential of the MYC linebacker

1028
00:56:01,080 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 2: not being on the roster yet?

1029
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 3: That a little too.

1030
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 4: Late, It's too late, Yeah, I think that's now.

1031
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:09,480
Speaker 1: That doesn't say they won't bring a guy in, but

1032
00:56:09,520 --> 00:56:12,280
Speaker 1: he ain't starting on an opening day. Yeah, there's no way.

1033
00:56:12,480 --> 00:56:13,319
Speaker 4: There's no way.

1034
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,880
Speaker 2: Opening day is September eleventh, Today is August twelve.

1035
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:20,520
Speaker 1: After everything we've seen about what that is, all these

1036
00:56:20,600 --> 00:56:25,320
Speaker 1: guys coming in, and these guys have some have some pedigree.

1037
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,399
Speaker 1: Aj Klein's been in the league for a long time,

1038
00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:30,960
Speaker 1: knows this defense really well. Dodson has been here for

1039
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:33,440
Speaker 1: his for like three or four years in this system,

1040
00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:37,760
Speaker 1: playing behind Tremaine Edmonds. Madi Kevitch has been in there playing,

1041
00:56:38,600 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 1: and now Terrell Bernard is going into his second full

1042
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,160
Speaker 1: finishing up his second full training camp and having played

1043
00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,000
Speaker 1: on the team for an entire year. So you're not

1044
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,480
Speaker 1: going to have somebody come in and get the depth

1045
00:56:48,520 --> 00:56:50,719
Speaker 1: of knowledge they need. Bail and Specter is still in

1046
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:54,000
Speaker 1: the building. You're not going to have anybody come in

1047
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 1: and know what they need to know about this defense

1048
00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:01,120
Speaker 1: to any stretch the way any of these guys do.

1049
00:57:03,239 --> 00:57:10,759
Speaker 1: Plus in the intangibles defensive coordinators everywhere. We specifically asked

1050
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:15,799
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott about this, but you want a guy at

1051
00:57:15,840 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 1: middle linebacker.

1052
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:18,800
Speaker 4: Who is.

1053
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:25,040
Speaker 1: Known and respected by his teammates. He's telling them what

1054
00:57:25,120 --> 00:57:28,320
Speaker 1: to do, and there's a lot in that. There's a lot.

1055
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: It means. It means something more than just getting the

1056
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: play call. I had a defensive coordinator said, listen, he

1057
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,120
Speaker 1: was a good dude. I like this, But why is

1058
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,800
Speaker 1: my like, why is my leader, this guy, this alpha

1059
00:57:41,840 --> 00:57:43,880
Speaker 1: dog on my defense? Why is he standing next to

1060
00:57:43,920 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: me on the sidelines on third down? You know that's

1061
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 1: not the guy. If he's doing that. They want a

1062
00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:53,160
Speaker 1: guy who is like just what the name saying? They

1063
00:57:53,200 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 1: want to lead dog that he's got to be a

1064
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,720
Speaker 1: dog and he's got to lead all that stuff. Forget

1065
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 1: about the radio and the hell. He's got to have

1066
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: a voice that cuts through eighty thousand people. You know

1067
00:58:05,120 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 1: what he's talking about, or you, or when he looks

1068
00:58:07,920 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 1: at you without saying anything, you get the message. It's

1069
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,280
Speaker 1: gotta be one of those kind of guys, you know.

1070
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:16,960
Speaker 1: So there's a lot in that spot. And to say

1071
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:22,560
Speaker 1: the guy's not on the roster right now, yeah, and

1072
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:25,520
Speaker 1: there's just no there's no possible way you can convince

1073
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:31,000
Speaker 1: me unless there's some blockbuster trade that they're gonna have

1074
00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:36,720
Speaker 1: there's a guy out there who could do that. And

1075
00:58:36,800 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 1: it may change as the weeks go on, but for

1076
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: opening night for Monday Night Football and MetLife Stadium nine

1077
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:44,640
Speaker 1: to eleven against the Jets and Aaron Rodgers, the think, no,

1078
00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:47,240
Speaker 1: it's gonna be somebody that's in the room right this minute.

1079
00:58:47,800 --> 00:58:52,960
Speaker 2: Another good point that Jack brings up is the competition

1080
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:57,880
Speaker 2: between the guys fighting it out for the final couple

1081
00:58:58,080 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: wide receiver spots on this raws. You got some guys

1082
00:59:01,480 --> 00:59:04,760
Speaker 2: that you know are locks at the position. The question

1083
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 2: of the wide receiver group, one of the big questions

1084
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:10,920
Speaker 2: for the group is how many wide receivers are you

1085
00:59:10,960 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 2: going to keep on this roster this year? And who

1086
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:18,360
Speaker 2: are the guys that are your last two in Are

1087
00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,240
Speaker 2: you keeping six? Are you keeping more? Are you keeping less?

1088
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:28,360
Speaker 2: He points out Andy Isabella, Justin Shorter, Tyrell Shavers. Justin

1089
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,840
Speaker 2: Shorter was draft picked by the Bills this year. Andy

1090
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 2: Isabella came in pretty late, two weeks ago to the team.

1091
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:39,240
Speaker 2: I want to say he's got some speed. Tyrell Shavers

1092
00:59:39,280 --> 00:59:42,960
Speaker 2: has been a guy who's made some good plays throughout camp.

1093
00:59:43,040 --> 00:59:46,360
Speaker 2: I want to say he's been pretty consistent in what

1094
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 2: I can see. Justin Shorter, as of late, I think

1095
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:51,760
Speaker 2: has been a little bit more consistent. Had a nice

1096
00:59:51,800 --> 00:59:56,240
Speaker 2: game against Pittsburgh Steelers. What do you think about fighting

1097
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:00,320
Speaker 2: it out for those final couple spots on the roster

1098
01:00:00,880 --> 01:00:03,640
Speaker 2: for the wide receiver position group, There's a lot of guys.

1099
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:07,400
Speaker 1: Yes, there's a lot of guys, and they've all flashed

1100
01:00:07,480 --> 01:00:10,440
Speaker 1: yeah to me. With the thirteen guys on the roster,

1101
01:00:10,480 --> 01:00:12,600
Speaker 1: I can maybe think of one or two maybe that

1102
01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:14,440
Speaker 1: I can't remember saying, wow, look at that guy.

1103
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:17,720
Speaker 4: You know all of them, And.

1104
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:21,240
Speaker 1: So you think the only three guys they brought back

1105
01:00:21,720 --> 01:00:23,360
Speaker 1: were Diggs, Davis and Shakir.

1106
01:00:24,200 --> 01:00:25,560
Speaker 4: Everybody else is brand new.

1107
01:00:25,720 --> 01:00:29,240
Speaker 1: There's no there's no John Brown, there's no Cole Beasley,

1108
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:31,240
Speaker 1: there's you know, those guys.

1109
01:00:31,080 --> 01:00:31,560
Speaker 4: Are all gone.

1110
01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: There's no uh Isaiah McKenzie. Those guys are all gone.

1111
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:41,400
Speaker 1: So they only have three guys that are incumbents. And

1112
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:46,240
Speaker 1: and Justin Shorter is the exact same draft status as

1113
01:00:46,320 --> 01:00:50,240
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir. So which one of those outweighs the other

1114
01:00:50,320 --> 01:00:54,880
Speaker 1: if they're equal, you know what I mean. Then you've

1115
01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:57,320
Speaker 1: got Andy Isabella, who was a higher round draft pick

1116
01:00:57,320 --> 01:01:01,880
Speaker 1: by another team and he got uh he was off Arizona,

1117
01:01:02,000 --> 01:01:04,919
Speaker 1: went to Baltimore and was with them for a cup

1118
01:01:04,920 --> 01:01:07,920
Speaker 1: of coffee like this lot he was. He was there

1119
01:01:07,960 --> 01:01:14,040
Speaker 1: this lost offseason. It seemed like the moment he left

1120
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:17,640
Speaker 1: Baltimore he was on the Bills, so that I think

1121
01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:21,200
Speaker 1: they were eager to grab him. And when he showed up,

1122
01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:23,480
Speaker 1: I mean obviously they they knew what they were getting.

1123
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:27,000
Speaker 1: He's fast, he's got he's he's flashed big time. I

1124
01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:30,320
Speaker 1: think he's almost assured a roster spot. But I you know,

1125
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: what do I know?

1126
01:01:31,720 --> 01:01:34,800
Speaker 2: He was a second round pick by Arizona Cardinals.

1127
01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:38,520
Speaker 1: Yeah. That and he's got the abilities the athleticism to

1128
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:40,160
Speaker 1: warrant a second round pick.

1129
01:01:40,240 --> 01:01:42,479
Speaker 2: Yep, he's got speed, that's for sure.

1130
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1131
01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:45,959
Speaker 2: Kolo Shakir was drafted by the Bills in the fifth round.

1132
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:50,080
Speaker 2: So was Justin Shorter. Justin Shorter was drafted in this

1133
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:53,880
Speaker 2: year's NFL draft. Colol Shakir was last year. He put

1134
01:01:53,960 --> 01:01:57,320
Speaker 2: some tape together last year for the Bills. I want

1135
01:01:57,320 --> 01:02:00,560
Speaker 2: to say he had like ten catches. It wasn't too much,

1136
01:02:00,600 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 2: but you've started to see that uptick toward the end

1137
01:02:03,800 --> 01:02:05,360
Speaker 2: of the year when you really started to see a

1138
01:02:05,400 --> 01:02:07,760
Speaker 2: little bit more out of all the rookies when they hit.

1139
01:02:07,640 --> 01:02:09,160
Speaker 3: The field for the Bills.

1140
01:02:09,240 --> 01:02:12,360
Speaker 2: James Cook is included in that as well as Kyer

1141
01:02:12,440 --> 01:02:15,840
Speaker 2: Elam and Christian Benford. Christian Benford kind of came out strong,

1142
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,160
Speaker 2: but Kyer Elam flash a little, but at the end

1143
01:02:18,200 --> 01:02:21,480
Speaker 2: of the year, so did James Cook. Bummer that we're

1144
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:24,320
Speaker 2: not going to see Khlol Shakir on the field on Saturday.

1145
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:26,000
Speaker 2: We don't know that for sure.

1146
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:26,960
Speaker 3: Bummer.

1147
01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,800
Speaker 2: If we do not see him he hasn't been practicing

1148
01:02:29,880 --> 01:02:34,120
Speaker 2: this week, so we'll see maybe if she happens tomorrow

1149
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:36,920
Speaker 2: and he's getting yards.

1150
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:38,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, So.

1151
01:02:39,600 --> 01:02:42,600
Speaker 2: The last couple of spots of that wide receiver group,

1152
01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:45,960
Speaker 2: that's going to be interesting because it's the question of

1153
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,360
Speaker 2: how many guys do you keep and who do you

1154
01:02:48,560 --> 01:02:51,000
Speaker 2: like based on what you already have on the roster.

1155
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:57,000
Speaker 2: Another guy Bill's News Consolidated says o Cyrus Torrance will

1156
01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,360
Speaker 2: get his third test against a week bears from that

1157
01:03:00,400 --> 01:03:04,400
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bill's dominated with a run pass option last year.

1158
01:03:04,760 --> 01:03:07,400
Speaker 2: He will also get his second taste of starting with

1159
01:03:07,560 --> 01:03:11,640
Speaker 2: a Josh Allen led offense. Football is one in the trenches.

1160
01:03:12,040 --> 01:03:14,800
Speaker 2: So this is in regard to that right guard battle

1161
01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:19,320
Speaker 2: going on between Osiris Torrance and Ryan Bates. When asked

1162
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 2: about Ryan Bates, I think it was Sean McDermott or

1163
01:03:22,080 --> 01:03:25,080
Speaker 2: Ken Dorsey might have said, this is even if Ryan

1164
01:03:25,120 --> 01:03:28,680
Speaker 2: Bates does not win that right guard battle, they still

1165
01:03:28,840 --> 01:03:31,960
Speaker 2: envision that he will play a role on this team

1166
01:03:32,040 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 2: for years to come, and I think that means that

1167
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: they really look up to him with the depth that

1168
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,040
Speaker 2: he can offer on this team. There's a very few

1169
01:03:42,040 --> 01:03:45,160
Speaker 2: guys that can rotate along the offensive line like Ryan

1170
01:03:45,240 --> 01:03:45,800
Speaker 2: Bates can.

1171
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think it's a question of who's going

1172
01:03:48,280 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: to make the team. I think it's a question of

1173
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:51,240
Speaker 1: who's going to play.

1174
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:52,120
Speaker 3: It's going to be that guy.

1175
01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:57,320
Speaker 1: I think Torrance has greater physical abilities and has played

1176
01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 1: well enough to warrant more snacky.

1177
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:00,120
Speaker 3: They were happy with what they say.

1178
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,080
Speaker 1: I think think Osiris seems to me a guy who

1179
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:09,840
Speaker 1: with his physical abilities is just better set up to

1180
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:13,000
Speaker 1: handle those inside rushers and the big weight that those

1181
01:04:13,040 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 1: guys are down inside. And I think Baits is a

1182
01:04:17,200 --> 01:04:20,919
Speaker 1: guy they want, they would rather have as first guy

1183
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:24,080
Speaker 1: in because it doesn't matter what position gets hurt, and

1184
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:26,919
Speaker 1: he gives them some flexibility at others. They know they've

1185
01:04:26,920 --> 01:04:29,080
Speaker 1: got a sixth guy no matter where he needs to go.

1186
01:04:29,840 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: And if if say, for instance, Dion Dawkins goes down,

1187
01:04:32,680 --> 01:04:35,200
Speaker 1: you can have a swing tackle with kessen Berry or

1188
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:38,760
Speaker 1: Vandermark or whoever it may be, to move from side

1189
01:04:38,800 --> 01:04:43,600
Speaker 1: to side. But an inside Baits could play center guard

1190
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:46,160
Speaker 1: or whatever. And then you know, David Edwards could be

1191
01:04:47,240 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 1: a guy that you could hanger on to as well.

1192
01:04:49,400 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 1: He could be either guard as well. So they I

1193
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,640
Speaker 1: think they've got their neck deep and really good players,

1194
01:04:57,680 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 1: and Osiris Torrens is physical gifts put him at the

1195
01:05:02,120 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 1: top of it. Let's just because he can stand up

1196
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:06,920
Speaker 1: to big time defensive tackles and and the Bills are

1197
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 1: going to see a ton of those.

1198
01:05:08,040 --> 01:05:13,000
Speaker 2: And I love to see the Bills see and realize

1199
01:05:13,040 --> 01:05:17,840
Speaker 2: that they're they're getting what they wanted out of Osiris Torrents.

1200
01:05:18,560 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 2: They're they're seeing what they saw on tape when they

1201
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,280
Speaker 2: started to scout him and start think about, Okay, this

1202
01:05:25,320 --> 01:05:27,880
Speaker 2: is a guy that maybe can can work on our roster.

1203
01:05:28,360 --> 01:05:31,840
Speaker 2: We like we like the traits, we like his size,

1204
01:05:31,880 --> 01:05:34,080
Speaker 2: we like that he can, he can he can still

1205
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,200
Speaker 2: be quick with the stature that he has, with the

1206
01:05:37,240 --> 01:05:40,400
Speaker 2: type of body type that he plays with. And I

1207
01:05:40,440 --> 01:05:43,440
Speaker 2: love that they've been able that they've seen that translate already.

1208
01:05:43,440 --> 01:05:46,280
Speaker 2: Sometimes for rookies, it takes a little bit longer for

1209
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:49,040
Speaker 2: an offensive lineman to come into the NFL and play

1210
01:05:49,040 --> 01:05:52,080
Speaker 2: with these big, bad guys up on the defensive line

1211
01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:54,600
Speaker 2: and and get it get a taste of what it's

1212
01:05:54,680 --> 01:05:58,440
Speaker 2: like to go up against some of the best NFL players.

1213
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:01,480
Speaker 3: Steelers are no joke on the defensive line. They've got TJ.

1214
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:04,640
Speaker 2: Watt On their team. You're going up against some guys

1215
01:06:05,320 --> 01:06:07,600
Speaker 2: and for them to be happy with with what he

1216
01:06:07,680 --> 01:06:11,160
Speaker 2: did against the Steelers on Saturday. Unfortunately that was a

1217
01:06:11,200 --> 01:06:14,760
Speaker 2: loss for the Bills, But just like with some of

1218
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,240
Speaker 2: the other rookies, for Dalton co and Kaid to be

1219
01:06:17,480 --> 01:06:19,880
Speaker 2: playing the way that he's played in training camp, for

1220
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:23,600
Speaker 2: Osirus Torrance to still be in this battle with with

1221
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:27,880
Speaker 2: a veteran on this team, I think says you're doing

1222
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 2: You're doing the right job scouting staff. You're bringing in

1223
01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,600
Speaker 2: these guys who it's translating on the field and training camp,

1224
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:37,800
Speaker 2: they're playing with some of the best players in the NFL.

1225
01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:43,000
Speaker 2: They're rotating and in battles against some veteran players and

1226
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: you're seeing at work out and hopefully we cantinue to

1227
01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:49,720
Speaker 2: see that once the NFL season begins, but kind of

1228
01:06:49,760 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 2: already to be able to see like, yeah, we made

1229
01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,120
Speaker 2: the right pick with this guy. I love that that's

1230
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 2: happening for this team.

1231
01:06:55,440 --> 01:07:00,479
Speaker 4: Forget he's he's big, I mean he's really big.

1232
01:07:01,080 --> 01:07:04,360
Speaker 1: And Brownie has said in the other days, he said,

1233
01:07:04,400 --> 01:07:06,480
Speaker 1: you know, this is the year of the defensive tackle.

1234
01:07:06,520 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 1: He had like four or five guys signed brand new

1235
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,120
Speaker 1: deals and they're all like twenty million dollar players. They're

1236
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,479
Speaker 1: big and athletic, and you've got to have a guy

1237
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:16,640
Speaker 1: like that inside you're on your offense who can stand

1238
01:07:16,720 --> 01:07:19,240
Speaker 1: up to it. Mitch Morris is sixty five three Bills

1239
01:07:19,920 --> 01:07:22,200
Speaker 1: and on the other side, Connor McGovern is the same thing.

1240
01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:25,920
Speaker 1: Connor McGovern is a big dude. He's six ' five

1241
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 1: three eighteen. The Bills got bigger and more athletic down

1242
01:07:31,080 --> 01:07:36,200
Speaker 1: inside this offseason, and younger, and that's a big help

1243
01:07:36,240 --> 01:07:39,520
Speaker 1: to a guy like Morse who's not young, and with

1244
01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:41,760
Speaker 1: Baits in there that to back him up, with David

1245
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:44,320
Speaker 1: Edwards standing at the ready to come in, they they

1246
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:47,160
Speaker 1: stay big even when they go to their second line players.

1247
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,560
Speaker 1: So I think Osiris Torrance has been a really it's

1248
01:07:51,600 --> 01:07:53,560
Speaker 1: been everything they thought he would be, and hopefully a

1249
01:07:53,560 --> 01:07:57,000
Speaker 1: little bit more. I've been impressed with his athleticism. You

1250
01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 1: watch his highlights.

1251
01:07:58,080 --> 01:07:59,200
Speaker 3: He's got strong hands.

1252
01:07:59,200 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 1: He's got strong hands, stand up points, bull rushes. But

1253
01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,360
Speaker 1: also when the guy starts to go side to side

1254
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,480
Speaker 1: and try and fake him out, his feet are quick

1255
01:08:08,560 --> 01:08:09,680
Speaker 1: enough to keep him in front.

1256
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 4: Like he can go side to side quick for three

1257
01:08:11,560 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 4: hundred fifty pound dude.

1258
01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:14,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's dirty two.

1259
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:16,160
Speaker 1: That's been that's been the most impressive thing for me,

1260
01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,479
Speaker 1: because while you play guard, there's not that much room

1261
01:08:19,479 --> 01:08:21,000
Speaker 1: in there because you've got to tackle on the outside

1262
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:23,600
Speaker 1: and a center on the inside. There's when once that

1263
01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:27,799
Speaker 1: ball snapped, they start to Yeah, his athleticism and lateral

1264
01:08:27,840 --> 01:08:29,880
Speaker 1: movement have been really impressive to me in his ability

1265
01:08:29,920 --> 01:08:30,360
Speaker 1: to recover.

1266
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,160
Speaker 4: So he's I think he's exactly.

1267
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,559
Speaker 1: The guy they thought he would be and and I

1268
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,200
Speaker 1: think he's he's going to be the guy going in.

1269
01:08:38,800 --> 01:08:41,320
Speaker 1: Just the fact now that he's taking all those snaps

1270
01:08:41,360 --> 01:08:43,120
Speaker 1: with the number ones and he's not he's not giving

1271
01:08:43,160 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 1: him up.

1272
01:08:43,520 --> 01:08:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, we'll see what that looks like on Saturday

1273
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:48,760
Speaker 2: against the Bears, if that changes at all. In the

1274
01:08:48,840 --> 01:08:50,840
Speaker 2: rotation that we see up there with Josh in the

1275
01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 2: offensive line, it.

1276
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:55,600
Speaker 1: Almost seems now too, Maddy that you know, McGovern's not

1277
01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:58,240
Speaker 1: rotating out, mitchmore s ain't rotating.

1278
01:08:57,960 --> 01:09:00,840
Speaker 3: Out, Dion and May to see what the group looks.

1279
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,559
Speaker 1: Cyrus is not rotating out. I mean, they don't rotate. God,

1280
01:09:03,640 --> 01:09:07,160
Speaker 1: they've kind of stopped to me, at least in the games.

1281
01:09:07,880 --> 01:09:12,519
Speaker 1: They've stopped throwing different now once Josh, everybody starts to

1282
01:09:12,600 --> 01:09:14,920
Speaker 1: rotating in this and you'll have the same guys in

1283
01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: playing different spots and all that. But while while the

1284
01:09:18,280 --> 01:09:21,840
Speaker 1: Josh was in there, you're not rotating any of those

1285
01:09:21,880 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: guys up front, and that's that tells a lot to me.

1286
01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 2: Here's a sneaky battle that is really could just be

1287
01:09:28,360 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 2: going on. Because Connor McGovern got hurt, we don't know

1288
01:09:32,320 --> 01:09:35,720
Speaker 2: what his status is for the game. Sean McDermott said

1289
01:09:35,720 --> 01:09:38,679
Speaker 2: that he was not gonna be practicing today. We didn't

1290
01:09:38,720 --> 01:09:42,320
Speaker 2: see him at practice, at least on the field practicing.

1291
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:46,360
Speaker 2: Sean McDermott also said, you know, we're not sure what

1292
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:48,400
Speaker 2: the timetable is here. We're just gonna.

1293
01:09:48,120 --> 01:09:50,160
Speaker 3: See how it goes. So let's go.

1294
01:09:50,240 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 2: Buffalo says, now that Connor McGovern is hurt, I'd like

1295
01:09:53,200 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 2: to see both David Edwards and Alec Anderson get to

1296
01:09:56,840 --> 01:10:00,840
Speaker 2: work at guard. Also, i'd like to see Richard work

1297
01:10:00,880 --> 01:10:04,880
Speaker 2: at right tackle. I think CB two is decided. Let's

1298
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:08,040
Speaker 2: talk about that left guard spot with the absence of

1299
01:10:08,160 --> 01:10:12,080
Speaker 2: Connor McGovern. If you're on the depth chart on Buffalo

1300
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:16,759
Speaker 2: bills dot com, Connor McGovern is a first teamer. David

1301
01:10:16,880 --> 01:10:20,320
Speaker 2: Edwards is a second teamer, Ike Bucker is a third teamer.

1302
01:10:20,920 --> 01:10:24,160
Speaker 2: Alec Anderson is listed as a third teamer on center.

1303
01:10:24,200 --> 01:10:26,800
Speaker 2: But yes, we have seen a lot of shifting, a

1304
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:29,800
Speaker 2: lot of rotating, Like you said, Steve, once Josh Allen

1305
01:10:29,880 --> 01:10:32,679
Speaker 2: came out of the game against the Steelers and Matt

1306
01:10:32,720 --> 01:10:35,040
Speaker 2: Barkley and Kyle Allen came in, we did see a

1307
01:10:35,080 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 2: lot of shifting, a lot of rotating. What does that

1308
01:10:37,200 --> 01:10:39,960
Speaker 2: look like at left guard if Connor McGovern is not

1309
01:10:40,080 --> 01:10:41,600
Speaker 2: able to go on Saturday, Yeah, I.

1310
01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 1: Would say David Edwards gets plugged right in to left

1311
01:10:45,560 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 1: guard and he's every bit as big as those guys

1312
01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I was talking about. He's another He started for the

1313
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:56,519
Speaker 1: World Champion Rams two years ago at guard, so he's

1314
01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,840
Speaker 1: he's a big dude and he's got some experience. That's

1315
01:10:59,880 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 1: what I would expect, I think. Alec Anderson, you said it.

1316
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:07,519
Speaker 1: Alec Anderson played tackle at UCLA as a college senior,

1317
01:11:08,080 --> 01:11:11,559
Speaker 1: came to the Bills and last year was his first year.

1318
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 1: He's a rookie last year and they you know, they

1319
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:15,680
Speaker 1: worked him at tackle. They gave a right tackle, a

1320
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 1: few reps, a left tackle, some guard. You and know

1321
01:11:17,360 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: all that this year he's been guarded and what he

1322
01:11:20,240 --> 01:11:23,200
Speaker 1: looks like to me, and it looks like they're trying

1323
01:11:23,240 --> 01:11:25,519
Speaker 1: to get Alec Anderson to be the exact kind of

1324
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 1: player Ryan Bates is where he could because he's a

1325
01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:32,960
Speaker 1: smart kid and tough. You can put him at guard,

1326
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:34,320
Speaker 1: you can put him at tackle, you can put him

1327
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 1: at center. He's gonna compete hard and he's got some

1328
01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:41,559
Speaker 1: He's got big enough physical abilities to do that. He

1329
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:44,000
Speaker 1: strikes me as the kind of guy with the mentality

1330
01:11:44,040 --> 01:11:45,519
Speaker 1: of a Ryan Bates that he's gonna be a guy

1331
01:11:45,560 --> 01:11:47,160
Speaker 1: that you can plug and play and he's gonna have

1332
01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:52,280
Speaker 1: that's gonna be his call calling card. He'll be smart, tough,

1333
01:11:52,360 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 1: and able to play five different positions on the offensive line.

1334
01:11:56,200 --> 01:11:59,760
Speaker 1: So uh, And I think having said that, I think

1335
01:11:59,800 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 1: that's that's what goes on behind the scenes. If a

1336
01:12:02,280 --> 01:12:05,759
Speaker 1: lot of people don't put thought into this. Aaron Kromer

1337
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,040
Speaker 1: is trying to get all ten or however, well, how

1338
01:12:09,040 --> 01:12:09,760
Speaker 1: many guys are there.

1339
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,719
Speaker 4: There's offensive line, there's eighteen, sixteen guys.

1340
01:12:13,800 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: He's trying to get all sixteen of those guys to

1341
01:12:16,320 --> 01:12:19,000
Speaker 1: play their best at whatever position they have or whatever

1342
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,720
Speaker 1: combination of positions. They have, and he's given them the

1343
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,120
Speaker 1: reps that will allow him to do that. And I'm

1344
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:28,599
Speaker 1: noticing Alec Anderson, you know, playing different slots. That's his

1345
01:12:28,720 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 1: best ticket to be in. The best pro he can

1346
01:12:31,040 --> 01:12:34,040
Speaker 1: be is maybe not having one position where he gets

1347
01:12:34,080 --> 01:12:38,760
Speaker 1: slotted in like an Osiris Torrance, but letting him use

1348
01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:43,280
Speaker 1: his intelligence and his toughness to be able to play

1349
01:12:43,320 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 1: five spots so that he'll get a roster spot. And

1350
01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:48,640
Speaker 1: that's and start there with a roster spot, and then

1351
01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,400
Speaker 1: when you get a chance to start because of injury

1352
01:12:50,439 --> 01:12:53,120
Speaker 1: or whatever, then you stake your claim and you stay

1353
01:12:53,160 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 1: there like an Ike Butker did before his Achilles injury.

1354
01:12:56,080 --> 01:12:59,120
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff. That's those are kind of the

1355
01:12:59,160 --> 01:13:01,040
Speaker 1: stories that go on by behind the scenes when they're

1356
01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,200
Speaker 1: trying to formulate this roster, because it's not just about

1357
01:13:03,240 --> 01:13:06,640
Speaker 1: formulating the roster. It's about developing your players. And you know,

1358
01:13:06,680 --> 01:13:08,960
Speaker 1: guys like calc Anderson and the tweet that we just

1359
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,639
Speaker 1: read is one of those guys that could benefit from

1360
01:13:12,080 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 1: a minor injury ahead of them.

1361
01:13:14,040 --> 01:13:16,240
Speaker 2: You may need some guys to step up and add

1362
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:20,680
Speaker 2: in the absence of Connor McGovern and Brandon Shell retiring

1363
01:13:20,720 --> 01:13:24,200
Speaker 2: and Tommy Doyle out for the season. This gives opportunities

1364
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:29,360
Speaker 2: for younger guys to get some important and valuable reps

1365
01:13:29,360 --> 01:13:34,000
Speaker 2: in live tape, live game action against a team like

1366
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:37,320
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears. These are opportunities where you can step

1367
01:13:37,439 --> 01:13:39,519
Speaker 2: up and you can shine, you can you can show

1368
01:13:39,560 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: your worth, your value. Every NFL team values depth at

1369
01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:47,160
Speaker 2: that offensive line position because that's a place where you're

1370
01:13:47,200 --> 01:13:50,200
Speaker 2: gonna need more than five guys in a season. I

1371
01:13:50,200 --> 01:13:53,080
Speaker 2: think we've talked about it before. You need almost seven,

1372
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,080
Speaker 2: sure guys at that position because of the wear and

1373
01:13:56,120 --> 01:13:59,599
Speaker 2: tear that happens on offensive lineman through an entire NFL season,

1374
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:02,640
Speaker 2: through an eighteen week season, it's not easy to do

1375
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 2: with just five. You're lucky if you get through the

1376
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:10,000
Speaker 2: NFL season with a true five. We've seen a six

1377
01:14:10,240 --> 01:14:14,880
Speaker 2: and a seventh rotat in multiple times for this team.

1378
01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:17,479
Speaker 2: So we'll see where Alec Anderson gets to line up

1379
01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:18,160
Speaker 2: on Saturday.

1380
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:22,960
Speaker 1: See, Well, we've seen Tommy Doua catch touchdown passes. Yeah,

1381
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:25,880
Speaker 1: I mean so Dalkins.

1382
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:27,280
Speaker 4: So that's yeah.

1383
01:14:27,400 --> 01:14:30,120
Speaker 1: The you're trying to find a way to get the

1384
01:14:30,120 --> 01:14:31,800
Speaker 1: guys to play as well as they can play the

1385
01:14:31,800 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 1: best that they can play. Fill all the spots you

1386
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,080
Speaker 1: have to fill. That means a backup for all five

1387
01:14:36,160 --> 01:14:39,160
Speaker 1: offensive linemen and maybe two backups for all of them

1388
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:40,880
Speaker 1: if you can get a guy to play swing tackle,

1389
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:42,360
Speaker 1: and if you can get a guy to play swing

1390
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:45,240
Speaker 1: guard and guard center as well. So if you get

1391
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:47,320
Speaker 1: you know, you gotta have a backup for all those

1392
01:14:47,600 --> 01:14:50,840
Speaker 1: So if you do that, you know, then you can

1393
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:54,160
Speaker 1: work on just getting everybody to play their best. And

1394
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:56,160
Speaker 1: that's kind of where they're at right now. I would think.

1395
01:14:56,200 --> 01:14:58,719
Speaker 1: I think most of these guys have fallen into where

1396
01:14:58,720 --> 01:15:01,719
Speaker 1: they the club sees them fitting the best, and it's

1397
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,479
Speaker 1: up to them to maximize that spot in this last game,

1398
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 1: in these last practices before they make the cut.

1399
01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:08,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right.

1400
01:15:08,320 --> 01:15:11,639
Speaker 2: Coming up next, we'll have sound from tight end Quintin Morris.

1401
01:15:11,680 --> 01:15:14,479
Speaker 2: He met with the media after practice today, so we'll

1402
01:15:14,479 --> 01:15:16,680
Speaker 2: get to him after this break where One Bill's Live

1403
01:15:16,720 --> 01:15:17,800
Speaker 2: presented by Colida Health.

1404
01:15:18,040 --> 01:15:19,679
Speaker 3: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio.

1405
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:36,680
Speaker 2: Welcome back to One Bill's Live. We were telling you

1406
01:15:36,840 --> 01:15:39,640
Speaker 2: we had some Quintin Morris sound. He spoke with the

1407
01:15:39,680 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 2: media today after practice, so let's get over to Quentin

1408
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,120
Speaker 2: Morris and hear what he had to say after Thursday's practice.

1409
01:15:48,439 --> 01:15:51,960
Speaker 5: Cancels been great. Now every year is a new year.

1410
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:55,040
Speaker 5: You know, we got new guys coming in and ultimately

1411
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:57,639
Speaker 5: it's been fine starting with you know, getting back and

1412
01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 5: going to Rochester and again working towards the season, building

1413
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 5: that bond, getting another guys and you know, ultimately it's

1414
01:16:06,800 --> 01:16:09,320
Speaker 5: been exciting and you know, I'm excited for another year.

1415
01:16:09,960 --> 01:16:12,160
Speaker 5: Taking a step back. You feel this has been your

1416
01:16:12,200 --> 01:16:16,320
Speaker 5: best camp. I personally feel it's been my best camp.

1417
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:19,639
Speaker 5: Just uh, I feel like I've been more locked in mentally,

1418
01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,400
Speaker 5: you know, after having this going on my third year,

1419
01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,120
Speaker 5: just you know, having some time in the offense, I'm

1420
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,080
Speaker 5: able to go out there and it's less thinking and

1421
01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 5: more playing fast. But I like to believe that I've

1422
01:16:32,479 --> 01:16:37,160
Speaker 5: taken a step from like you know, developing my game

1423
01:16:37,200 --> 01:16:39,559
Speaker 5: and the route route running and catching the ball and

1424
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,960
Speaker 5: also uh run blocking. I thought control was last year,

1425
01:16:44,040 --> 01:16:46,679
Speaker 5: getting of the extended playing time and you know during

1426
01:16:46,680 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 5: the VAGA the seasons hop out.

1427
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,040
Speaker 6: Is that into your confidence?

1428
01:16:50,760 --> 01:16:53,799
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, it was definitely great. I mean again, practice

1429
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,640
Speaker 5: is what it is, but nothing's like the game, you know,

1430
01:16:56,680 --> 01:17:00,200
Speaker 5: getting those live full speed reps, getting in the live know,

1431
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:03,640
Speaker 5: you know, the bullets, you know, flying and stuff. So

1432
01:17:03,680 --> 01:17:05,720
Speaker 5: being able to think on the fly and you know,

1433
01:17:05,800 --> 01:17:08,200
Speaker 5: being out there with a guy like Josh and you

1434
01:17:08,240 --> 01:17:11,800
Speaker 5: know with Dawson and those two tight end sets, and

1435
01:17:12,280 --> 01:17:14,960
Speaker 5: I mean it's been definitely helpful. I've you know, seen

1436
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:17,679
Speaker 5: a lot, learned a lot, and you know, continuing to learn,

1437
01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:29,599
Speaker 5: you know, big. We always talked about stuff. How that one.

1438
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:35,479
Speaker 5: I mean again, I think it's something about you know,

1439
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,200
Speaker 5: bringing in guys that you know fit the room. So

1440
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:42,519
Speaker 5: obviously in our room, so we got these bracelets, we

1441
01:17:42,600 --> 01:17:45,479
Speaker 5: got unselfish and family. Uh, just a couple of words

1442
01:17:45,479 --> 01:17:48,280
Speaker 5: that guys in our room used to describe our tight

1443
01:17:48,360 --> 01:17:51,880
Speaker 5: end position. And I feel like that's just one as

1444
01:17:51,880 --> 01:17:54,160
Speaker 5: far as like scouting recruitings, just finding a guy that

1445
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:57,679
Speaker 5: fits that and just him being here, Uh of course

1446
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,760
Speaker 5: first rounder. You know, he's a great player baller, but

1447
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:03,920
Speaker 5: he's never came in here and you know, just walked

1448
01:18:03,920 --> 01:18:06,000
Speaker 5: over anybody. He's you know, willing to learn. I mean,

1449
01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:08,000
Speaker 5: he's just a great guy. We hang out a lot,

1450
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,519
Speaker 5: you know, we tease each other a lot. So it's

1451
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,839
Speaker 5: been real fun having him around into.

1452
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:17,200
Speaker 8: Your third seio, playing with Dawson all these years.

1453
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:18,400
Speaker 4: How long. Have you seen him grow?

1454
01:18:19,360 --> 01:18:24,519
Speaker 5: Uh, you said Dawson. Yeah, Dawson, I mean I love

1455
01:18:24,560 --> 01:18:26,800
Speaker 5: watching I think he's probably the best. And when it

1456
01:18:26,840 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 5: comes to like the full tight end position, from run

1457
01:18:29,160 --> 01:18:32,800
Speaker 5: blocking to you know, catching balls and running routes, I

1458
01:18:32,800 --> 01:18:35,880
Speaker 5: think he's just the best overall. Just I mean just

1459
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:37,920
Speaker 5: seeing from I know, watching some film we watched him

1460
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 5: at when he was young and kind of developed me.

1461
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:43,080
Speaker 5: I mean, his technique is just so good. I mean

1462
01:18:43,160 --> 01:18:46,160
Speaker 5: I try my best to, you know, simulate that same thing.

1463
01:18:46,320 --> 01:18:48,960
Speaker 5: But he's definitely been the standard in our room, and

1464
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:50,360
Speaker 5: it's been a guy that all of us can look

1465
01:18:50,439 --> 01:18:54,280
Speaker 5: up to. Look at what you bring to the group,

1466
01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:58,599
Speaker 5: catch the bad you maybe bring a different skills set

1467
01:18:58,680 --> 01:19:03,960
Speaker 5: to completed. I think we're all similar in some ways

1468
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:07,120
Speaker 5: and different in ways. Uh. You know, I pride myself on,

1469
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,240
Speaker 5: you know, coming from a receiver background, I pride myself

1470
01:19:10,280 --> 01:19:12,280
Speaker 5: in you know, running routes and you know, making sure

1471
01:19:12,320 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 5: I catch anything that's thrown my way. Something that I've

1472
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,720
Speaker 5: been developing, uh, you know, moving a tight end, like

1473
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:21,880
Speaker 5: my junior year and in college at Bowling Green and

1474
01:19:22,840 --> 01:19:24,479
Speaker 5: maybe playing a year and a half because of that

1475
01:19:24,560 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 5: COVID year under that position and just having to come

1476
01:19:27,320 --> 01:19:30,120
Speaker 5: in and learn from the guys. And uh Rob's been

1477
01:19:30,240 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 5: very great just as far as helping me technique wise,

1478
01:19:33,240 --> 01:19:34,920
Speaker 5: and that's something that I've been trying to improve, is

1479
01:19:35,560 --> 01:19:38,680
Speaker 5: my run game, footwork and stuff. So I definitely think

1480
01:19:38,680 --> 01:19:42,160
Speaker 5: I've been developing there. And overall, I mean my job

1481
01:19:42,280 --> 01:19:44,559
Speaker 5: is to you know, be ready for what my numbers called,

1482
01:19:44,600 --> 01:19:47,679
Speaker 5: and ultimately special teams is you know where I plan

1483
01:19:47,760 --> 01:19:56,479
Speaker 5: out helping says. I mean, obviously, I think everybody wants

1484
01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:58,679
Speaker 5: to come in and everybody wants to be a starter.

1485
01:20:00,040 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 5: But again, you know, just the nature League, you never

1486
01:20:01,920 --> 01:20:05,800
Speaker 5: know what's gonna happen. Again, I mean, it's a long

1487
01:20:05,840 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 5: season and you know, we work through it, and you know,

1488
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:12,120
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to, you know, fulfilling whatever role it

1489
01:20:12,200 --> 01:20:14,040
Speaker 5: is that you know the team has for me. And

1490
01:20:14,520 --> 01:20:17,200
Speaker 5: if that's strictly special teams, I'm here for it. If

1491
01:20:17,400 --> 01:20:21,200
Speaker 5: it's you know, getting the run maybe some thirteen twelve personnel,

1492
01:20:21,320 --> 01:20:30,439
Speaker 5: you know, I'm here for that as well. Liked it definitely,

1493
01:20:30,800 --> 01:20:36,160
Speaker 5: it's hard. All It's definitely hard because you'll be like

1494
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:38,880
Speaker 5: Dalton Dawson. I know Rob struggles with it as far

1495
01:20:38,920 --> 01:20:41,559
Speaker 5: as like getting guys. In and out of the huddle,

1496
01:20:41,840 --> 01:20:44,559
Speaker 5: he'll be saying Dalton, but on the field Dalton Dawson

1497
01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:48,040
Speaker 5: sounds exactly alike, so that could be hard. And you

1498
01:20:48,080 --> 01:20:51,639
Speaker 5: know I call when Dalton first, Dalton first came in,

1499
01:20:52,160 --> 01:20:56,000
Speaker 5: I called him DK, but it didn't hit me that

1500
01:20:56,000 --> 01:20:58,920
Speaker 5: that we also called Dawson DK. So you know, we

1501
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,040
Speaker 5: try to work around it. You gotta really a NUNTI eate.

1502
01:21:01,200 --> 01:21:03,720
Speaker 5: Sometimes both of them might turn around and eventually one

1503
01:21:03,720 --> 01:21:12,560
Speaker 5: we'll figure out who we're talking to. So so oh yeah,

1504
01:21:12,960 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 5: so I really acquired a lot in camp. So this

1505
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:19,960
Speaker 5: one there was a kid that made a bracelet for me.

1506
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 5: I guess he saw that I always wearing bracelet, so

1507
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,160
Speaker 5: he made one just as uh quinning with my My

1508
01:21:25,240 --> 01:21:28,320
Speaker 5: name's fell wrong, but you know his intentions were pure.

1509
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:32,080
Speaker 5: So it's q U I and t O n uh.

1510
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:36,799
Speaker 5: You guys remember that issue from my second year my locker,

1511
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:41,000
Speaker 5: there was a special Olympics. A lot of the kids

1512
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,599
Speaker 5: were out there for one of the training camps and

1513
01:21:43,640 --> 01:21:45,559
Speaker 5: I took a bracelet from one. Well I didn't take it,

1514
01:21:45,560 --> 01:21:47,320
Speaker 5: he gave it to me, and then everybody wanted to

1515
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:49,760
Speaker 5: give me Once I got three of those I got

1516
01:21:49,800 --> 01:21:54,000
Speaker 5: my unselfish family one for our tight end room, and

1517
01:21:54,560 --> 01:21:57,439
Speaker 5: I think one was tight en you. Dalton gave me

1518
01:21:57,479 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 5: this one friendship race, so that tightened you. And I

1519
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,719
Speaker 5: can't remember what the rest of them are because they've

1520
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:07,200
Speaker 5: you know, had some wear and tear and there's no

1521
01:22:07,200 --> 01:22:15,240
Speaker 5: longer words on them, so so like no, So it

1522
01:22:15,320 --> 01:22:18,360
Speaker 5: was really you know, we came in I believe it

1523
01:22:18,439 --> 01:22:22,519
Speaker 5: was first day of ota or not first day it was.

1524
01:22:22,600 --> 01:22:24,200
Speaker 5: It was some day in OTAs and we kind of

1525
01:22:24,240 --> 01:22:27,760
Speaker 5: went through the whole room and just had guys, you know,

1526
01:22:27,800 --> 01:22:29,519
Speaker 5: speak up about you know, what would you use to

1527
01:22:29,600 --> 01:22:33,160
Speaker 5: describe our room. And there were you know, words like family, respect,

1528
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 5: There's a couple other words, but ultimately we felt like

1529
01:22:36,720 --> 01:22:40,479
Speaker 5: family and respect was I mean, not respect. Family and

1530
01:22:40,600 --> 01:22:44,320
Speaker 5: unselfish was the best way to describe our room. Just

1531
01:22:44,479 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 5: you know, the tight end position. You know, you got

1532
01:22:46,800 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 5: to get in there and block and you know you'll

1533
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,559
Speaker 5: get rewarded when you get rewarded, but really just doing

1534
01:22:51,560 --> 01:22:53,639
Speaker 5: the dirty work that you know some guys aren't willing

1535
01:22:53,680 --> 01:22:53,840
Speaker 5: to do.

1536
01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:58,519
Speaker 6: When when you have on the field, whether it's you

1537
01:22:58,680 --> 01:23:02,120
Speaker 6: and Dawson or adult and Dawson. Uh, you know what

1538
01:23:02,360 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 6: the expectation is defenders are going to stay in nick

1539
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:07,559
Speaker 6: on you you think you guys will be.

1540
01:23:07,560 --> 01:23:13,519
Speaker 5: Able to run the ball and uh defense, Oh yeah,

1541
01:23:13,800 --> 01:23:16,679
Speaker 5: I think we'll be great. You know, running against Nickel,

1542
01:23:16,720 --> 01:23:20,320
Speaker 5: I mean obviously a mismatcher, talking about a guy who's

1543
01:23:20,400 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 5: used to covering you know, slot receivers probably one pounds

1544
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 5: and you've got you know, tight ends looking at two

1545
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:32,639
Speaker 5: forty plus, So you know it's expected that we should

1546
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:34,719
Speaker 5: be at advantage when that's happening. And then of course

1547
01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 5: being able to mix it up, you know, running pass

1548
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:40,799
Speaker 5: out of those positions. And we've all seen what Dawson

1549
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:43,080
Speaker 5: can do, and obviously we know what Dalton can do.

1550
01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,759
Speaker 5: And you know, I feel like I match up pretty

1551
01:23:46,760 --> 01:23:50,559
Speaker 5: good and in those uh and running him passing as well.

1552
01:23:51,000 --> 01:23:55,600
Speaker 5: So I think we'll we'll be great. Breakfast seem like that?

1553
01:23:56,640 --> 01:23:59,360
Speaker 5: What was that like? Like it was everybody wanted to

1554
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:03,040
Speaker 5: picture with m Yeah. So me and Reggie actually picked

1555
01:24:03,120 --> 01:24:04,680
Speaker 5: up on a hunch that he might be coming in,

1556
01:24:04,720 --> 01:24:07,640
Speaker 5: so we didn't see him. We thought he might be

1557
01:24:07,680 --> 01:24:10,400
Speaker 5: in the team meeting this this morning. Uh, didn't get

1558
01:24:10,400 --> 01:24:13,120
Speaker 5: to see him. And then we're at practice and I

1559
01:24:13,160 --> 01:24:15,920
Speaker 5: think Reggie tapped me like, Vic's back there. Vic's back there.

1560
01:24:16,439 --> 01:24:18,160
Speaker 5: So you know, I was trying to stay locked into

1561
01:24:18,160 --> 01:24:19,479
Speaker 5: what I was doing, but I might have hit a

1562
01:24:19,479 --> 01:24:23,200
Speaker 5: little stretch and he looked over my shoulder. So I mean,

1563
01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 5: it was obviously exciting getting to see him and meet him,

1564
01:24:26,920 --> 01:24:28,360
Speaker 5: and I was able to sneak in a picture, so

1565
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:31,800
Speaker 5: I was happy about that. But I mean he came

1566
01:24:31,840 --> 01:24:34,280
Speaker 5: over there and talked to us and uh, you know,

1567
01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 5: gave us a little bit of his story. I mean,

1568
01:24:36,320 --> 01:24:38,400
Speaker 5: it's Mike Vig is not like we don't know too

1569
01:24:38,439 --> 01:24:41,400
Speaker 5: much about him already, but he really just talked to

1570
01:24:41,479 --> 01:24:44,240
Speaker 5: us about, you know, finding whatever it is, is that

1571
01:24:44,400 --> 01:24:46,880
Speaker 5: spark that we need to you know, take that next step.

1572
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,479
Speaker 1: Like when you were in middle school.

1573
01:24:51,760 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 5: I'm guessing he was with the I mean was he

1574
01:24:55,560 --> 01:24:56,400
Speaker 5: when you were a kid.

1575
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,760
Speaker 6: When did you just like pick the falcons on me?

1576
01:25:00,040 --> 01:25:04,519
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm picking falcons or Eagles, and I'm I might

1577
01:25:04,600 --> 01:25:06,880
Speaker 5: do like two step hitch and I'm running. I'm taking

1578
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:08,519
Speaker 5: off with him and trying to get all the yards.

1579
01:25:09,880 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, definitely a big Madden person, so I was

1580
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:17,439
Speaker 5: definitely using Vic and also just like you know, a

1581
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,719
Speaker 5: fan of just kind of how he changed the game.

1582
01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,800
Speaker 5: And I mean it's just one of the greatest players

1583
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:25,200
Speaker 5: you know to ever pick up a football as well.

1584
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:29,120
Speaker 8: So it but Josh Allen is kind of like the

1585
01:25:29,120 --> 01:25:32,080
Speaker 8: modern version of that, Like which playing with him and

1586
01:25:32,200 --> 01:25:34,519
Speaker 8: we did talk about the numbers when when the release

1587
01:25:34,600 --> 01:25:38,080
Speaker 8: came out, like over bill billion rushing yards last year.

1588
01:25:38,439 --> 01:25:39,200
Speaker 4: Is that kind of cool to.

1589
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:39,840
Speaker 1: Be playing with him?

1590
01:25:39,960 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, that's great. I mean, I again, I played

1591
01:25:43,280 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 5: Madden a lot so and I only use the bills,

1592
01:25:46,960 --> 01:25:49,000
Speaker 5: so it only feels right. And plus, you know, we're

1593
01:25:49,040 --> 01:25:53,840
Speaker 5: pretty good on there, so it's definitely exciting getting the

1594
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,840
Speaker 5: you know, play with somebody that's you know, on the

1595
01:25:56,960 --> 01:25:59,639
Speaker 5: you know, I think guys grow up and you know something,

1596
01:25:59,680 --> 01:26:02,080
Speaker 5: I always wanted to be his on a Madden cover

1597
01:26:02,160 --> 01:26:03,960
Speaker 5: and just to you know, be playing with somebody like

1598
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:06,160
Speaker 5: that who's just a great player and general great guy.

1599
01:26:06,720 --> 01:26:09,960
Speaker 5: And he actually also gave a lot of us uh

1600
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:12,439
Speaker 5: copies and he signed it for us. I think that's

1601
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,360
Speaker 5: gonna sit somewhere in a in a case for me.

1602
01:26:19,400 --> 01:26:22,120
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I definitely throw myself in uh, you know,

1603
01:26:22,200 --> 01:26:24,960
Speaker 5: every now and then if I'm really when I'm playing

1604
01:26:24,960 --> 01:26:27,920
Speaker 5: my friends, just to you know, joke around with it. Uh,

1605
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,479
Speaker 5: but I also let you know, Dalton and Dawson get

1606
01:26:30,479 --> 01:26:31,360
Speaker 5: some reps in there too.

1607
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:35,840
Speaker 2: All right, that was tight end Quinton Morris speaking to

1608
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,200
Speaker 2: the media after practice today, He is all nice team,

1609
01:26:40,400 --> 01:26:42,679
Speaker 2: one of the nicest guys on the roster.

1610
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:43,600
Speaker 3: I think.

1611
01:26:44,840 --> 01:26:47,360
Speaker 2: Gonna be part of the tight end room this year.

1612
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:53,360
Speaker 2: Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, Quinton Morris. Is he the third

1613
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:57,920
Speaker 2: tight end in In regard to the final fifty three?

1614
01:26:57,960 --> 01:27:01,200
Speaker 2: How many tight ends do they keep on the active roster?

1615
01:27:01,320 --> 01:27:02,160
Speaker 3: You would think if.

1616
01:27:02,000 --> 01:27:04,600
Speaker 2: This team is going to play more twelve personnel, that

1617
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:07,960
Speaker 2: would mean you need another guy on the fifty.

1618
01:27:07,640 --> 01:27:08,360
Speaker 1: Three at four.

1619
01:27:08,680 --> 01:27:08,920
Speaker 5: Yeah.

1620
01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:13,479
Speaker 1: Yeah, So Quentin Morris is in. That means, you know,

1621
01:27:14,240 --> 01:27:19,880
Speaker 1: Jay Sternberger or Joel Wilson, we're gonna make it with

1622
01:27:20,040 --> 01:27:24,559
Speaker 1: Quentin Morris. That's interesting because they've never done that. I

1623
01:27:24,560 --> 01:27:26,320
Speaker 1: have done that for a minute. Lee Smith was the

1624
01:27:26,400 --> 01:27:28,280
Speaker 1: last guy I think that they kept. Maybe they had

1625
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:33,120
Speaker 1: four guys, So it'll be interesting. All that's gonna come

1626
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:37,400
Speaker 1: out in the wash. One other thing too, is and

1627
01:27:37,439 --> 01:27:39,200
Speaker 1: not just because you know, I used to do it

1628
01:27:39,200 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: a lot, but I don't think covering kicks is going

1629
01:27:42,920 --> 01:27:48,599
Speaker 1: to play as prominent a role in roster formation as

1630
01:27:48,600 --> 01:27:52,320
Speaker 1: it once did. The fair catch is gonna come in and.

1631
01:27:53,840 --> 01:27:56,040
Speaker 4: On kicking, I's gonna change things up.

1632
01:27:56,200 --> 01:28:00,840
Speaker 2: I agree, I agree. Quentin Morris will see what his

1633
01:28:00,880 --> 01:28:04,639
Speaker 2: snap count is on Saturday against the Chicago Bear. He's

1634
01:28:04,680 --> 01:28:07,759
Speaker 2: had a really consistent camp, caught a lot of passes.

1635
01:28:07,880 --> 01:28:10,680
Speaker 2: Excited to see what the future is for him on

1636
01:28:11,040 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bill's team and on this roster. We've got

1637

Speaker 3: I'm pretty excited.

1649
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:14,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, yeah, not for very long and hopefully nobody

1650
01:29:14,200 --> 01:29:17,800
Speaker 1: gets hurt. But I do hope, I do hope they

1651
01:29:17,840 --> 01:29:19,800
Speaker 1: look better than they did. I hope they get out

1652
01:29:19,800 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 1: to a fast start and a little bit show a

1653
01:29:22,040 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 1: little bit of juice.

1654

1655
01:29:25,200 --> 01:29:27,400
