15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,320

16
00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:57,760
Speaker 1: other stuff we had to do here to wind up.

Speaker 1: So I skid it into a stop at like six

18
00:01:00,800 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: or four. I missed the first series, but it was

19
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,400
Speaker 1: it was good though. Got in uh my favorite player.

20
00:01:08,520 --> 00:01:12,119
Speaker 1: It's fifty six yard touchdown in the h opening drives.

21
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: I think it's a second drive that of course would

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 1: be Luke task or how many touchdowns for him this year? Now, dude,

23
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,200

Speaker 1: forty three last night and a touchdown. They won forty

26
00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 1: two twenty eight over the Toronto organized did the tiber

27
00:01:29,959 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: Tiger Cats. Now they got a home and home. It's

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 1: like a hockey thing up there. They played at home.

29
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 1: The Hamilton Tiger Cats were at home against the Argos

30
00:01:36,520 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 1: last night. Now they go on the road Saturday against

31
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: the Argos over in BMO Field. Yeah. Yeah, it's like

32
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: a home like hockey. Yeah, that's crazy. Yeah, So they

33
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:51,080
Speaker 1: play him again and little listen, the tie Cats played

34
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 1: good last night. The Toronto was really struggling offensively. If

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: the tie Cats didn't have one series where they had

36
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: literally had five penalties in a road gave him first

37
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: downs and then they had a fumble recovery for one

38
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: hundred and five yard touchdown return against him, and they

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 1: turned it over on an interception inside their fifteen yard line.

40
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:13,840
Speaker 1: Those three plays or that series and those two plays

41
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 1: two turnovers, I mean they would they would have beaten

42
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,679
Speaker 1: him by four touchdowns. Maybe, so they were tight. Cats

43
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,280
Speaker 1: are playing good when they can get out of their

44
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,280
Speaker 1: own way and when the Argos took advantage of some

45
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 1: things actually to take a twenty eight twenty one lead

46
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:28,320

114
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: the streets up there. I just know what the stating

115
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:39,119

116
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:41,360

00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,280
Speaker 1: guy the money and it wasn't the same. It was

123
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: like the same he described it to me. And I

124
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 1: parked in the wrong spot, so we both had to

125
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: bate twenty bucks for one spot. So you know, but

126
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: the tickets were free. No, the tickets are not free.

127
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 1: What about the tailgating? Is there a tailgate party seeing

128
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: up there? I've never been there early enough to know,

129
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,040
Speaker 1: but there is a lot of pregame activities outside of

130
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: this big pavilion, outside of the Tim Hortons fields. It

131
00:06:16,880 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: is pretty nice. It's a nice little atmosphere. They got

132
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,040
Speaker 1: a nice game day feel to it, it really does.

133
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:24,480
Speaker 1: And the Tikat's record pretty good, winning five and five

134
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 1: right now and there. This was the first game of

135
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,120
Speaker 1: the second half of the season. They played eighteen games.

136
00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: It was the tenth game, so they're in the second half. Now,

137
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:33,800
Speaker 1: what a great start to your week. And you got

138
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:34,960
Speaker 1: a game coming up at the end of the week

139
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: too that we'll get your attention, right, Bills and Ravens do. Yeah,

140
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,599
Speaker 1: it'll be fun. And that's this game. I just started

141
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: getting all my emails and all your notifications from CBS

142
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:47,000
Speaker 1: about the Ravens and the Bills and the scouting reports

143
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: and you know, the Pro Football Focus package they put out.

144
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 1: And I dove into some Ravens background last night as well,

145
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: and came away and pressed, you know, I really did

146
00:06:57,160 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: steve nine wins last year. As we know, they just

147
00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:03,360
Speaker 1: barely the playoffs and that Andy Dalton pass um. You

148
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 1: know Flacco. It's it's interesting. Flacco had a rough first

149
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:08,840
Speaker 1: half of the season. He came around in the second half, right,

150
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: He was seven and two down the stretch final nine

151
00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 1: games of the season. He played much better second half

152
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,280
Speaker 1: of the season. So as much as were I was

153
00:07:16,320 --> 00:07:18,240
Speaker 1: at least going into this week thinking, well, Joe Flacco

154
00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:21,280
Speaker 1: is not the Joe Flacco super Bowl super Bowl Joe Flacco.

155
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: You know what, by the second half of a half

156
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,560
Speaker 1: season he was. He was back kind of. They went

157
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: out and got a ton of wide receivers, three of them. Anyway,

158
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:33,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna play strong defense. Thirty four takeaways a year ago,

159
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:35,040
Speaker 1: more than anybody in the NFL led the league, and

160
00:07:35,640 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 1: takeaway differential, turnover differential last year. Um, look, I'm not

161
00:07:39,480 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: saying they're not super Bowl quality, but they're good. You

162
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: never won in their home an opening day. Yeah, you

163
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: never want to turn it over, but you can't turn

164
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: it over against the Ravens. They win game. They're much

165
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:52,640
Speaker 1: like the Buffalo Bills in the first half of last season.

166
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: When they get turnovers, they're gonna win the game. You

167
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,840
Speaker 1: look at you know, the guys. They drafted the Ravens.

168
00:07:57,520 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: They and here's their draft. A ton of draft picks.

169
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: That a quarter that, a quarterback, two offensive tackles, two

170
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 1: tight ends, two wide receivers, and then there were two corners,

171
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 1: a defensive end in a safety. I mean they picked

172
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: a lot of offensive players, two tackles, two wide receivers,

173
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,600
Speaker 1: and two tight ends. And the two tight ends we're

174
00:08:19,600 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 1: in the top four picks of the draft. One tight

175
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,280
Speaker 1: end is hurt right, not gonna play, but first rounder.

176
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 1: But here's the thing too, they shut out three opponents

177
00:08:27,400 --> 00:08:30,280
Speaker 1: last year. Three. Yeah, more than anybody else in the

178
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,760
Speaker 1: NFL last year. Look, I'm not saying again, I'm not

179
00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,920
Speaker 1: saying they're super Bowl caliber team, but they're a pretty

180
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:36,959
Speaker 1: good team and it's a pretty tough test. And I

181
00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,520
Speaker 1: guess I knew that going into the year, but it

182
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,880
Speaker 1: was kind of reinforced last night when I started diving

183
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: into some homework about the Baltimore I've always been intrigued

184
00:08:43,240 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: by Baltimore because they got Joe Flacco and he won

185
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:47,920
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl for him and he's he can really

186
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,400
Speaker 1: throw the football. I've always been impressed with his ability

187
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:53,199
Speaker 1: to throw the ball accurately, and get rid of it.

188
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: And he's always been criticized in Baltimore for not being

189
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't know, good enough, for not throwing it well. Uh,

190
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: and I've seen him makes throws that are just unbelievable throws.

191
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 1: I think he's really good and he's he's really been criticizing.

192
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,000
Speaker 1: Of course, last year he was really crushed. But this

193
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 1: is a team it's been twenty one years since they

194
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:18,320
Speaker 1: sent any quarterback to the Pro Bowl from Baltimore. Vinny

195
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 1: Testaverity was their last quarterback to go to the Pro Bowl.

196
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: And then in the streak is the Dolphins. It's been

197
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: twenty two years since they sent a quarterback and that

198
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:29,600
Speaker 1: was Marino and the Bears. Jim McMahon was their last

199
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:33,600
Speaker 1: quarterback in the Pro Bowl. And now the you got

200
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: a quarterback that won a Super Bowl. He didn't go

201
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,719
Speaker 1: to the Pro Bowl that year. That's crazy. He was

202
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: MVP in the Super Bowl. Yeah, they're they're good, They're Yeah,

203
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: they've got some and uh, Terrell Suggs still playing at

204
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:48,520
Speaker 1: a high level for them. Uh, at least he was

205
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: at the end of last year and looks to have him,

206
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: you know, be coming back this year for his fourteenth

207
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,319
Speaker 1: year and playing really well. So yeah, they're they're a team.

208
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,160
Speaker 1: And I've got a lot of respect for John Harbaugh

209
00:09:57,200 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: too as a head coach. I've dealt with a lot

210
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 1: of guys and I told you this the other day,

211
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,559
Speaker 1: got a casual but but really buttoned up attitude over there.

212
00:10:06,480 --> 00:10:08,679
Speaker 1: The expectations in the bar are really set high in

213
00:10:08,760 --> 00:10:11,440
Speaker 1: their culture, and it's served him well. I think they're looking,

214
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're looking to get back to the playoffs

215
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: at least this year, looking to you know, probably challenge

216
00:10:15,800 --> 00:10:18,240
Speaker 1: the Steelers in that division. And I'm sure they're looking

217
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: at this game and saying, Okay, we can get Baltimore

218
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,920
Speaker 1: week one and they might be able. We can get

219
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,720
Speaker 1: Buffalo in week one, and we'll see if it happens

220
00:10:24,760 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 1: that way. On our show today, we'll talk about this game,

221
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: get you set up for this game, and talk about

222
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: what's going on around the NFL. We have Nathan Peterman

223
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 1: coming in the studio at two o'clock today, just named

224
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,880
Speaker 1: as the starting quarterback for the Bills. He'll join us

225
00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:38,000
Speaker 1: here today. Now that the hubbub has died down a

226
00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: little bit. Nathan Peterman gonna be in studio with us

227
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: at two on his day off. We appreciate that. Although

228
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,480
Speaker 1: I see a lot of players in on their days

229
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:47,280
Speaker 1: off today, on their day off today, we're getting workouts in.

230
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: But Nathan Peterman a lot to talk about, and we

231
00:10:49,360 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: got we gotta talk to him a little bit about that.

232
00:10:51,679 --> 00:10:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to talking to Nathan. I love talking

233
00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: to this kid, and I love his approach. I remember

234
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: thinking last year he is mature beyond his years. You know,

235
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: he's twenty four years old, but you're talking. We'll talk

236
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,760
Speaker 1: to him today and you'll think, Wow, that's like a

237
00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,400
Speaker 1: thirty year old man. I appreciate that about him, and

238
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to getting his sense of this game,

239
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: what it means to be the opening day starter for

240
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: the Bills. Right. We went through the names yesterday of

241
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 1: who started off kickoff Sunday for the Bills since Jim

242
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 1: Kelly left. There's a lot of them. Would I say

243
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: ten of them? He's number ten. But really looking forward

244
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: to talking to Nathan. At two o'clock today, coming up

245
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the sour twelve thirty Peter King

246
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:30,000
Speaker 1: from NBC Sports. He's got this new Football Morning in

247
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: America website up there now, and we'll talk with Peter

248
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: King about his observation on the Bills and the rest

249
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: of the NFL, and coming up at one o'clock, we

250
00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: kind of have to backtrack. We never got to it

251
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:41,199
Speaker 1: yesterday because of the Peterman news, but it was huge

252
00:11:41,240 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 1: over the weekend, the trade of Khalil Mack from the

253
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: Raiders to the Bears. And we'll talk with Vic Tafer,

254
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: who covers the Oakland Raiders for the athletic website out

255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: in Oakland. We'll talk with him about that trade. We

256
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,160
Speaker 1: never even mentioned it yesterday, did We were all we're

257
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: all Peterman down here? Were we were? Yeah? Huge trade

258
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,480
Speaker 1: with implications, I think, And this why we went to

259
00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: Vic of Tayfer, because it's look, the Bears are like

260
00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty other teams in the NFL. You want Khalil Mack, Yes,

261
00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:10,719
Speaker 1: what will the cost right? Yes? And some teams that

262
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 1: weren't ready to pay that cost. But the intriguing part

263
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: of the deal, I believe is the Raiders standpoint right,

264
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,800
Speaker 1: why would you give up Khalil Mack a premium player?

265
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:22,960
Speaker 1: I mean, he is a blue ribbon, blue chip want

266
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 1: top three or four or five players in the game.

267
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 1: Why would you trade him away? And at the peak

268
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:30,439
Speaker 1: of his career. I mean, he might not even have

269
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 1: hit the peak of his career yet. We'll talk with

270
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,360
Speaker 1: Vic about that. I understand there's money involved and the

271
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Raiders saying we were never prepared to pay him that

272
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: amount of money. Why not. He's that good. You're not

273
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,760
Speaker 1: going to find a better defensive player. You may not

274
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: ever get a better defensive player than Khalil Mack if

275
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: you're the Oakland Raiders. So Peter to talk about that

276
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,439
Speaker 1: with Vic Tafer. Yeah, and Peter King will have on

277
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:52,280
Speaker 1: the show as well. He's he had some things to

278
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: say about it. Obviously, everybody in the league had to

279
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:57,120
Speaker 1: chime in on the Khalil Mack trade. It's it's pretty massive,

280
00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,319
Speaker 1: and you know that you're talking about percentage is the

281
00:13:00,480 --> 00:13:02,959
Speaker 1: salary cap and and it's gonna be less than He's

282
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 1: gonna be making less than eleven percent of the salary

283
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 1: cap at the end of this deal. Is if if

284
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 1: the projections are correct, and that's for a guy of

285
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 1: his caliber, I don't know how you don't make it.

286
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:16,160
Speaker 1: I know people who have been with the Raiders in

287
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: the past, and the lady, a great lady who works

288
00:13:20,080 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 1: with me at CBS Amy Trask. She said, there's no

289
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: way al Davis would have let that happen. He would

290
00:13:25,520 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 1: have paid him the money to keep him. And you know,

291
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: al Davis famously said, hey, listen, the opposing quarterbacks gotta

292
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 1: go down, and he's got to go down hard. And

293
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: Khalil Mac does that. The guy goes down, he gets

294
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,720
Speaker 1: the guy on the ground. He is an amazing pass rusher.

295
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: And they're gonna miss him, sure they will. I mean,

296
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,520
Speaker 1: and I'll tell you what, the Kansas City Chiefs got

297
00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 1: better with that trade because they won't have to face

298
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,200
Speaker 1: him Chargers. The Chargers got better and Philip Rivers got better.

299
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 1: You know, that's huge trade. It is an enormous trade.

300
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,880
Speaker 1: And and that's we didn't touch on it yesterday because

301
00:13:57,880 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: there was so much going on around here. We talked

302
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 1: about yesterday how busy it was around here and how

303
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: cool it was that, you know, you could tell something

304
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: was going on. We didn't even have time to touch

305
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: on it. And yet the Bears all of a sudden

306
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: become they're a little bit more than an afterthought in

307
00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:15,599
Speaker 1: that division now, even with the Minnesota Vikings and the

308
00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers in it. So it's an interesting trade.

309
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:20,280
Speaker 1: We'll get into it when we when we talk to

310
00:14:20,360 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 1: these guys on the phone and later in the show.

311
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,640
Speaker 1: But I think that I think it's the most massive

312
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: trade particularly it's certainly of this year, maybe for the

313
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 1: last handful of year. Huge straight all right, it's all

314
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 1: of that coming up on the show today and more

315
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 1: lots of Bills talk where we want to involve. You

316
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: got a Twitter poll up today and it deals with

317
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: the Bills quarterback move out. We see Nathan Peterman named

318
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: yesterday as a starter. Simple question with an option of

319
00:14:45,920 --> 00:14:48,320
Speaker 1: answers for you on Twitter and on the telephone. Nine

320
00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,040
Speaker 1: simple here it is, how many games will Nathan Peterman

321
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: start for the Bills in twenty eighteen? You think it's

322
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:58,880
Speaker 1: just he's a placeholder until Josh Allen is ready? Do

323
00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: you think it depends on it? Formans? You think they're

324
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:03,720
Speaker 1: ready to keep Josh Allen on the sidelines for a

325
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 1: little while. Look, we don't know that any of us

326
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,640
Speaker 1: have the answer to this, but we can certainly speculate,

327
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,400
Speaker 1: and that's what we're looking for you to do. You

328
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: can give us a call at eight oh three oh

329
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,680
Speaker 1: five fifty or from outside Buffalo Toll three at one eight, eight, eight,

330
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:17,560
Speaker 1: five fifty two, five fifty or tweeting in that one

331
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,840
Speaker 1: Bills Live how many games will Nathan Peterman start this

332
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: year for the Buffalo Bills. We've been up on Twitter

333
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: for about forty minutes or so, more than five hundred

334
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,560
Speaker 1: votes in the early going here, and more than half

335
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,600
Speaker 1: of you, fifty one percent say you think that Nathan

336
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:34,120
Speaker 1: Peterman will start five to eight games, less than half

337
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:36,440
Speaker 1: a season. Twenty eight percent of you think it'll be

338
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 1: four or fewer games, and twenty one percent of you

339
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: think it'll be nine or more games. That's a decent split.

340
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: We'd like to hear from you. You can vote on Twitter,

341
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: but let's hear from you as well, either on Twitter

342
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: or on the telephone lines, how you think it'll play out?

343
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: How many games will Nathan Peterman start in twenty eighteen? D'

344
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 1: want my critique of how good our Twitter player is.

345
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:57,200
Speaker 1: It's not too bad. I mean twenty eight twenty one

346
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: percent on two and then fifty percent for the other's.

347
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: That's a pretty good Twitter pole. It's not all it's

348
00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: not one of the top five in our history, but

349
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 1: that's a pretty good pole. And I just doing this

350
00:16:07,600 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: because this was my Twitter pole idea. I'm just saying

351
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,640
Speaker 1: it was like, it's a good Twitter poll, not a

352
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 1: phenomenal great Twitter pole, but it is good right off

353
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 1: the top of your head. And Jay, I know it

354
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:20,560
Speaker 1: was good the moment, the moment you suggested the Twitter pole,

355
00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: our producer was trying to take credit for it. I

356
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:25,520
Speaker 1: knew it was a good one. From the tweet sheet

357
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: from tick Nagger, probably nine or more games? Will Nathan

358
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: Peterman start once? Or if the Bills are mathematically out

359
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, Allen has two and we'll get to

360
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,000
Speaker 1: play And just like Peterman took a jump from year

361
00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 1: one to year two, Allen will do the same in

362
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen once or if the Bills are mathematically out

363
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,040
Speaker 1: of the playoffs, or what if they never get What

364
00:16:45,160 --> 00:16:47,200
Speaker 1: if that's fourteen weeks in? Do you still you stay

365
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:48,640
Speaker 1: with that? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know. What

366
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:50,560
Speaker 1: if And here's the thing, I'm not saying this well happen,

367
00:16:50,640 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: but what if things are going along and you realize

368
00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 1: that maybe you got a better chance to avoid elimination

369
00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:59,440
Speaker 1: from the playoffs with Josh Allen? Could happen from sipping

370
00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: the kool a this tweet how many games will Nathan

371
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: Peterman start this year? Seven? The kool Ai says, I

372
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:08,400
Speaker 1: voted nine plus Peterman doubters. Maybe in for a big surprise.

373
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:10,919
Speaker 1: Keeping four tight ends tells me we'll see a lot

374
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:14,160
Speaker 1: of twelve personnel. With Kelvin Benjamin and big athletic tight

375
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,800
Speaker 1: ends and twelve personnel, it'll be tough to defend, and

376
00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: we'll cover some of the offensive line flaws and open

377
00:17:19,080 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 1: up the running game. Peterman will thrive. That's an interesting take.

378
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:26,920
Speaker 1: Peterman will thrive. I listen, I haven't you know. We've

379
00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: talked going into the show. We were talking off air

380
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: about all. You know, there's a lot of national negativity

381
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 1: about the Bills right now, really negative. Yeah, and it

382
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: wears on you a little bit. But I have not

383
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:38,720
Speaker 1: shut the door on the fact that Nathan Peterman could thrive.

384
00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: He could thrive in this offense. He could. We saw

385
00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: some evidence of that right in preseason eighty percent completion

386
00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:50,040
Speaker 1: percentage and you know, one twenty four point seven quarterback rating.

387
00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: We saw evidence that Nathan Peterman has improved from a

388
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 1: year ago. He's obviously going to be more confident than

389
00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 1: a year ago, and I think he's getting better coaching

390
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,560
Speaker 1: than he or any of the quarterbacks got year. He

391
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: could thrive. As Sipping the kool Aid points out in

392
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:05,760
Speaker 1: his tweet, that could happen. I'm not ruling that out.

393
00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 1: Yeah could, and I agree with you. There's a lot

394
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,920
Speaker 1: of questions about how good he can play, no question

395
00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:16,879
Speaker 1: about it, and they haven't seen him very much. Defense

396
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,639
Speaker 1: is it's a brand new offense. They've got a new realm,

397
00:18:20,720 --> 00:18:24,800
Speaker 1: of new roster of offensive personnel around him. It'll be

398
00:18:24,880 --> 00:18:27,760
Speaker 1: interesting to see Brian Dable and what he does to

399
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,640
Speaker 1: make this offense more effective. There's a lot of things

400
00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 1: that the answer to those questions might be, Yeah, that's

401
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: you know what they did the right thing. I don't

402
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:39,240
Speaker 1: think there's any question this is an offense. It's going

403
00:18:39,280 --> 00:18:41,399
Speaker 1: to be very versatile. I think Peterman is in a

404
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:43,800
Speaker 1: spot where any and I think his strength is his

405
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: ability to process and his ability to get the ball

406
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:50,399
Speaker 1: out on time, and I think this is I think

407
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,439
Speaker 1: that'll help the offensive line. I think there's a lot

408
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,200
Speaker 1: of things this coaching staff is going to do that

409
00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: was that we're not on the table a year ago.

410
00:18:57,480 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see Brian Dable unfur a game plan

411
00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 1: against even a good defense like Baltimore. I think there's

412
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: a lot of fun stuff to look forward to in

413
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: this game. Nathan Peterman and his play is only one

414
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 1: of them. I'm like sipping the kool aid. I'm kind

415
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 1: of excited to see how they use those tight ends

416
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:20,400
Speaker 1: because with Charles Clay, Logan, Thomas Croom, Carr league, they've

417
00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:24,040
Speaker 1: got some athletes at tight end and that's a problem

418
00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams. And we'll see if if

419
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 1: it turns out that way for the Bills in this

420
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 1: opening game. I wanted to get to one more from

421
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet team any twenty two. I think Alan

422
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,679
Speaker 1: goes in Week five. Bills will struggle with a very

423
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 1: first tough quarter schedule. I think it's very plausible even

424
00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: for an O and four one and three start, they'll

425
00:19:41,680 --> 00:19:43,800
Speaker 1: be home week five and a good time to start allan. See,

426
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 1: that's the kind of negative, that's kind of projections. A

427
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,920
Speaker 1: lot of people around the country got for this team.

428
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: And here's the thing. It's easy to forget when you

429
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: get further away from it, and I'm not don't forget

430
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: how much the culture meant to this team last year

431
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: and how many games it kind of carried them too

432
00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:09,119
Speaker 1: through last year. How many victories. Don't forget what happened

433
00:20:09,119 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: to him a week less than a week ago in Chicago.

434
00:20:12,880 --> 00:20:15,639
Speaker 1: It was the character in the chemistry and the culture

435
00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,880
Speaker 1: of the team that won that game in Chicago, even

436
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: though it was a preseason game and a lot of

437
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: the guys that were playing into aren't on the team anymore.

438
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: It was palpable. What a difference the culture made. I

439
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: think it's going to be even more so. We haven't

440
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 1: seen Lashawn McCoy this season. We haven't seen Trent Edwards

441
00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,920
Speaker 1: this season. We haven't seen what the defensive front seven

442
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: is going to be able to do against an offensive

443
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,440
Speaker 1: line Trent Murphy Starlow to lelay. Their run defense is

444
00:20:41,480 --> 00:20:44,359
Speaker 1: going to be upgraded. I'm excited about all the things

445
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:46,679
Speaker 1: we've been talking about through the offseason and has been

446
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,200
Speaker 1: kept from us during the preseason. So you know, there's

447
00:20:51,200 --> 00:20:53,399
Speaker 1: a lot of reasons for me to be optimistic about

448
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: how good this team could be. And I hear the

449
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: negativity around the I hear because of all the moving

450
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: parts they had this offseason, because of all the dead

451
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: money on the cap they've got, with all the things

452
00:21:04,400 --> 00:21:07,440
Speaker 1: that are looming over it and the other. When you

453
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,200
Speaker 1: see these things on other teams, they spell disaster. I'm

454
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: not so sure about it with this one. I really

455
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,800
Speaker 1: am not. Let's take a few phone calls on this question.

456
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: How many games do you see for Nathan Peterman? How

457
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: many will you start this year? We'll start with Charlie

458
00:21:21,320 --> 00:21:24,200
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. Hello, Charlie, welcome, you're on the air with this. Hey,

459
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 1: how are you today? Good? Good? I think Nathan Peterman,

460
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:31,600
Speaker 1: if they can keep them upright, will start twelve games.

461
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: Why twelve? I believe he'll start twelve games, and I

462
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: don't believe the builds are going to be any better

463
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: than five and eleven. This offensive line looks terrible, Charlie.

464
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,440
Speaker 1: The question would be, why would he start that many

465
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: games if if they're not going to play well at

466
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,479
Speaker 1: what point? At some point don't you think let's take

467
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: a look at the rookie. I'm gonna throw Josh Allen

468
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: to the rolls with this offensive line. That's that's the

469
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,359
Speaker 1: bottom line. They're not going to get this kid kills

470
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:01,160
Speaker 1: You almost got a concussion in the preseason game. Well,

471
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,399
Speaker 1: what makes you think Nathan Peterman will last longer than

472
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:05,800
Speaker 1: Josh Allen? Would if he gets in there, because he

473
00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,280
Speaker 1: gets rid of the ball real quick, and he's two games,

474
00:22:09,600 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: he's out of a year behind us behind him, and

475
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: he can play a little longer. I think, Okay, all right,

476
00:22:15,040 --> 00:22:20,159
Speaker 1: all right, thanks Charlie. That's a valid that's a valid opinion.

477
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:22,560
Speaker 1: Let's go to Adam in Virginia. Hello, Adam, you're on

478
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: the air. Hey, Murph, Hi, I think he starts. I

479
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: think the kids starts the week four. I think we're

480
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: easily going to start owing three because all we have

481
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:37,479
Speaker 1: an off kinds of shit basically, and then what then

482
00:22:37,520 --> 00:22:41,560
Speaker 1: you start him in week four against the Packers Bay. Yeah,

483
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 1: because Nathan doesn't have another ziper on his ball. Okay,

484
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: sows ducks out there. I don't know if he throws ducks,

485
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,800
Speaker 1: but yeah, I get. I mean, Josh Allen throws a

486
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: lot hotter ball, no question about it. That's why he

487
00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: was drafted number seven overall because the guy's got a

488
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 1: huge arm. But you don't think Brian day Ball or

489
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,920
Speaker 1: the coaching staff understands what Nathan Peterman can do and

490
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,040
Speaker 1: won't ask him to throw those passes and give him

491
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: stuff he can do. I think our offense is going

492
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: to be just like last year, run a couple of

493
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:17,760
Speaker 1: signs and get enough. Uh are in trouble. Yeah see,

494
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:19,280
Speaker 1: I don't think the office is going to be anything

495
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,560
Speaker 1: at all like last year's time. It's I really don't

496
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 1: and I think there's evidence of that from preseason game

497
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: number one against Carolina, first couple of series, when the

498
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: Bills had multiple personnel packages, a lot of different formations,

499
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: and not the no huddle pace, with an up tempo pace.

500
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: They were at the line of scrimmage ready to go

501
00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:37,480
Speaker 1: much quicker than they were the rest of the preseason.

502
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:39,720
Speaker 1: I don't think it looked there was there was motion,

503
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,600
Speaker 1: there was pre snap motion. There were routes run over

504
00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 1: the middle, which we didn't see for the last several years.

505
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:46,760
Speaker 1: I don't think this offense. I'm not saying it'll be

506
00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: better necessarily, but I don't think it's gonna look anything

507
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,560
Speaker 1: like the offense the builds are put on the field

508
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: the last year or two. Yeah, I don't think. I

509
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 1: agree with h Murph. I don't think it's gonna look

510
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 1: anything like it. I think it's gonna be much more efficient.

511
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:02,920
Speaker 1: I think, um, yeah, I there's too many new things,

512
00:24:02,960 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: and I think one of the things we saw in

513
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:07,199
Speaker 1: the first preseason game was and you mentioned it right

514
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: after the game, the Bills every play were running in

515
00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,280
Speaker 1: a different personnel combination. They were running in a ton

516
00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: of guys every single play, and they were still going

517
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:18,480
Speaker 1: with great pace in and out of the huddle with

518
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:21,520
Speaker 1: some time on the play clock. I think that's kind

519
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 1: of what we're looking at. And I think it's a

520
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:26,639
Speaker 1: great way to go. I think it's it makes you

521
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: look crisp sharp, It gives your quarterback a chance to

522
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:32,720
Speaker 1: get into rhythm, It keeps the defense very, very uncomfortable,

523
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,480
Speaker 1: and I think it gives you a chance to be successful.

524
00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: And I think one of the things, like Adam just

525
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: called in from Virginia's you know, he says, I he

526
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,800
Speaker 1: Peterman doesn't have the arm, But listen, this is a

527
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: this is a club. This is an offensive staff that

528
00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 1: should be able to win with the skill set that

529
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,840
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman gives them. And they understand better than all

530
00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:56,440
Speaker 1: of us what his limitations are. They're not going to

531
00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 1: ask him to do things that he's not capable of doing.

532
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:01,280
Speaker 1: So whatever the asking him to do, he's gonna do

533
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: and he's gonna be able to do it. Physically, so

534
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: the things we've seen him not be able to do,

535
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,119
Speaker 1: you can bet they won't ask him to do that.

536
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,920
Speaker 1: The question is is there enough left over in this

537
00:25:11,160 --> 00:25:14,040
Speaker 1: offense for him to use his skill set? And will

538
00:25:14,080 --> 00:25:16,040
Speaker 1: it be enough to beat the Ravens on Sunday? And

539
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty sure when they go into that game,

540
00:25:17,840 --> 00:25:20,600
Speaker 1: the coaching stat's gonna think it it's enough. We're gonna

541
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: find out, aren't we on Sunday. And it's gonna be fun.

542
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fun the rest of the weeks gonna

543
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 1: be fun. The rest of him today. Coming up after

544
00:25:25,960 --> 00:25:28,560

Speaker 1: looked it up today. You were with us at training camp.

567
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 1: It was July thirty first. Since then, I believe you

568
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 1: have launched Football Morning in America. Right, you're back here

Speaker 1: Monday Morning posts every Monday, kind of resetting the scene

570
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. Talk about that, Peter and why that's

571
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:54,000
Speaker 1: so important to do that every week. Right. I went

572
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,200
Speaker 1: to NBC started on July first, The column started on

573
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 1: July sixteenth, and you know it's just it's something that

574
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 1: now going on twenty two years, I've I've just really

575
00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: enjoyed it. I try to take the temperature of the

576
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: league every week and do it almost in a novella form.

577
00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:19,520
Speaker 1: And it's not for everybody, but hopefully we can reach

578
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,600
Speaker 1: quite a few people with it. And I'll be doing

579
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: a lot more video also with the column this year

580
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: to try to bring it, try to bring it into

581
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen. So for those who don't like words, I

582
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: am going to give you some pictures. It's up on

583
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:38,520
Speaker 1: the website pro Football Talk dot NBC Sports dot com

584
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,040
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America. What times I go up on

585
00:27:41,080 --> 00:27:44,680
Speaker 1: Monday mornings? Pretty early on Mondays? Right, Peter, Well, it's

586
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: so far to this offseason, it's been going up at

587
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:50,879
Speaker 1: about three o'clock in the morning Eastern Time on Monday.

588
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 1: But mostly during the season it'll be up. It won't

589
00:27:54,920 --> 00:27:58,120
Speaker 1: be up any later than five am every Monday during

590
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:00,840
Speaker 1: the season. Wow. Wow, Tuesday must be a rough day

591
00:28:00,920 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: for you. That's all I can say. Day because I'm

592
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 1: doing I'm trying to recover during the during the morning

593
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:10,760
Speaker 1: and afternoon on Monday, so I don't have a lot

594
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: of Jews left when when when Monday Night football comes on,

595
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,040
Speaker 1: Peter know you cover the whole league and we'll get

596
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:19,200
Speaker 1: to us here locally in Buffalo and a mint. I

597
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: want to talk to you about the Khalil Mack trade.

598
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 1: It's it's kind of a massive deal when you think

599
00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: about it. About a guy who is truly a star

600
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 1: in the league and an effective player and a productive player,

601
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: right on the cusp of really turning into what could

602
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 1: be a superstar career, and he gets traded from a

603
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,080
Speaker 1: club that ostensibly was trying to get better. But I

604
00:28:41,080 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: don't know how you think you're going to be better

605
00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:45,880
Speaker 1: if you're the Oakland Raiders without Khalil Mack. Yeah, I mean,

606
00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: here's the deal with Khalil Mack. In my opinion, all right,

607
00:28:50,680 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: you know, look everybody has seen, Oh I got twenty

608
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 1: two million dollars a year for for a guy who's

609
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: had two really good years in the NFL. He got

610
00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 1: paid way too much money. I think people need to

611
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:06,200
Speaker 1: stop this my opinion, I think people need to stop

612
00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 1: thinking of it in terms of the dollar figures and

613
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:12,640
Speaker 1: think of it in terms of percentage of the salary cap.

614
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: And if you were to tell me that over the

615
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:19,360
Speaker 1: next seven years on average, Khalil max contract for one

616
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:22,120
Speaker 1: of the three best defensive players in football in his

617
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: prime at age twenty seven. Right now, if you were

618
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: to tell me that he would take up ten to

619
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,360
Speaker 1: eleven percent of your cap every year, to me, that's

620
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: not excessive. And you know, the Oakland Raiders get two

621
00:29:36,680 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: first round picks, and I ran a list of their

622
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:43,440
Speaker 1: last ten first round picks, excluding the last two years,

623
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,480
Speaker 1: because he can't judge them yet, Gary and Conley and

624
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:49,840
Speaker 1: Colton Miller. I ran a list of these players and

625
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: they're all I'm not saying they're bums, but they're all

626
00:29:52,520 --> 00:29:54,440
Speaker 1: just run of the mill guys, with the exception of

627
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:58,320
Speaker 1: Amari Cooper. And so you know, what is the goal here?

628
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 1: Is the goal here to collect a lot of draft

629
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:05,479
Speaker 1: choices or to develop stars, your own stars and then

630
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:09,040
Speaker 1: let them walk. I don't I don't understand the Oakland

631
00:30:09,160 --> 00:30:13,120
Speaker 1: Raiders should be saying to their fans, we're doing everything

632
00:30:13,240 --> 00:30:15,720
Speaker 1: we can to win, and instead they're saying to their

633
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: play to their fans, we're doing everything we can to

634
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: be solvent and to build for the future. I mean,

635
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 1: that's that's a bad way of doing business. Yeah, and

636
00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,640
Speaker 1: I'll tell you. Let me get run down the quick

637
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: list of the guys you're talking about that the Raiders

638
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,400
Speaker 1: have drafted. It was Robert Gallery, Fabian Washington, Michael Huff,

639
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 1: JaMarcus Russell, Darren McFadden, Darius Hayward Bay, Rolando McClain, DJ Hayden.

640
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,800
Speaker 1: Then of course there's Amari Cooper and Karl Joseph. Now

641
00:30:40,880 --> 00:30:43,040
Speaker 1: seven of those guys that I just mentioned along with

642
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: we're top ten picks and I and you're right you

643
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 1: mentioned your article you wouldn't trade any one of them,

644
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,760
Speaker 1: or any two of them for any for Khalil Mack.

645
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't trade three of them for Khalil Mack at

646
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: this point in his career and with the career that

647
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: those guys have had, even with Amari Cooper thrown in there.

648
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: I mean, you're talking about a league that is built

649
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 1: around two things defensively, getting turnovers and getting to the quarterback.

650
00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 1: It used to be run and stop the run. It's

651
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,040
Speaker 1: not about that anymore. It's about getting after the quarterback

652
00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:17,560
Speaker 1: and getting turnovers. And Khalil Mack is one of the

653
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,480
Speaker 1: top two, for sure, the top three guys in the

654
00:31:20,560 --> 00:31:23,000
Speaker 1: league at doing that. And I don't know that. I

655
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: don't know how they think they're going to draft two

656
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,040
Speaker 1: guys in the next over the next two years that

657
00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 1: gives them a better outcome than Khalil Mack would if

658
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: they sign him. I think the one other point about

659
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 1: this Steve is everybody's saying, well, jeez, is he really

660
00:31:36,520 --> 00:31:43,160
Speaker 1: that good? Well? Pro Football Focus charts obviously sacks, quarterback hurries,

661
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 1: quarterback hits. And you know, under the umbrella term that

662
00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 1: I've given this is quarterback disruptions. Okay, and in the

663
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,560
Speaker 1: last two years, Khalil Mack has one hundred and seventy

664
00:31:56,600 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: five quarterback disruptions. Number two on that list is Von

665
00:32:01,800 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 1: Miller with one hundred and sixty two. And so this guy,

666
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: even though people don't maybe view him right now in

667
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: the Von Miller class, I certainly do. And in the

668
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: last two years he's outperformed any edge rusher in the league.

669
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: Now think of him doing that without a lot of

670
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,840
Speaker 1: help on that defensive front in Oakland. And now he

671
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: goes to Chicago, where you know a team Hicks very

672
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:30,120
Speaker 1: quietly has become a top fifteen disruptor in the NFL.

673
00:32:31,440 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: You know. And Leonard Floyd was drafted to be a

674
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:36,760
Speaker 1: really good edge rusher. He's done that in Spurts so far.

675
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,200
Speaker 1: I think Chicago's defensive front, their front seven is going

676
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: to be scary good with the addition of Khalil Mack Peters.

677
00:32:43,760 --> 00:32:45,800
Speaker 1: There any way to look at that trade is anything

678
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: but John Gruden's move. And what does that say about

679
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:51,959
Speaker 1: Gruden and forecast? What kind of forecast does that give

680
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,920
Speaker 1: you for his tenure in Oakland? I mean to me,

681
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,239
Speaker 1: I think what it says about Gruden is that if

682
00:32:57,280 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: you're a quarterback, I'm going to pay you. If not,

683
00:33:00,160 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 1: if you play any other position, we're going to scotch

684
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:06,720
Speaker 1: tape it together. In the last twenty four hours since

685
00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 1: I've been very vociferous about this, John, one of the

686
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:12,840
Speaker 1: things that's really interesting to me is everybody has said, well,

687
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:16,800
Speaker 1: what about the Patriots. The Patriots don't ever pay somebody

688
00:33:16,920 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: like that. I said, okay, the Patriots are one of

689
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: the NFL's all time outliers. And you tell me anywhere

690
00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:28,520
Speaker 1: else that a team has basically said, we're not on

691
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: this team, We're not even paying the quarterback market value.

692
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,680
Speaker 1: And it works. It's just the Patriots are the all

693
00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: time outlier when it comes to team construction in part

694
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: because Tom Brady has always said, I'm not going to

695
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: take every last dollar, and so with Brady being eminently

696
00:33:47,640 --> 00:33:50,200
Speaker 1: fair to the team, more than fair to the team,

697
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 1: in my opinion, all this says is the Raiders for

698
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: some reason, are intent on doing things a certain way

699
00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,440
Speaker 1: that I think right now is going to be destructive

700
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 1: to their team. On the line with Peter King, NBC

701
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:07,560
Speaker 1: Sports column is talking about his Football Morning in America column,

702
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 1: I don't I don't want to go over in line

703
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:11,520
Speaker 1: by line, but I did find it interesting your poll

704
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,440
Speaker 1: about Roger Goodell. What is it? Seventy nine percent of

705
00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 1: respondence to your poll give him a disapproval rating do

706
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,160
Speaker 1: not approve of his performance in office. I thought that

707
00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,000
Speaker 1: was high. Peter, I confess I know people have issues

708
00:34:24,040 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: with Goodell, but I thought that was really high. Well,

709
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: I think I wasn't that surprised by it, but I

710
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,320
Speaker 1: thought it would come out maybe three quarters or seventy percent.

711
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: The amazing thing is as divided as our country is,

712
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: they're still whatever thirty five percent. I don't even know

713
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: what the number is who support Donald Trump, and it's

714
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 1: almost like double the amount who support Roger Goodell. It's

715
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,680
Speaker 1: just it's amazing really when you think about it. Mike

716
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: Florio had a real interesting seri on Pro Football Talk

717
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,719
Speaker 1: that the NFL shouldn't want to do anything about that

718
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: number because Roger Goodell is making the big money for

719
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:07,560
Speaker 1: one reason, He's taking these bullets for the owners, So

720
00:35:07,880 --> 00:35:10,200
Speaker 1: the owners don't want to get rid of them. They

721
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:14,160
Speaker 1: want somebody who will take the bullets. I understand what

722
00:35:14,440 --> 00:35:17,839
Speaker 1: Mike is saying, but I also disagree from this standpoint.

723
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:23,200
Speaker 1: Do you think any owner, any owner, would like to

724
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:27,920
Speaker 1: listen to Roger Goodell get the absolute living crap boot

725
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,720
Speaker 1: out of him year after year in any public venue,

726
00:35:31,960 --> 00:35:35,680
Speaker 1: especially at the draft. It's embarrassing for the league. So

727
00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:38,759
Speaker 1: I don't I understand why people might think, hey, he's

728
00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: just he's doing the owner's bidding and all that stuff.

729
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: But this is more than that. It's more than that.

730
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's I've written about this many times

731
00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:53,040
Speaker 1: in recent the last couple of years. Particularly Paul Tagliabu

732
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:54,880
Speaker 1: used to have a saying when he was in office

733
00:35:55,280 --> 00:35:59,880
Speaker 1: about controversies, all's well that ends, you know, just forget

734
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,319
Speaker 1: it ended. And Roger Goodell is like the bulldog who

735
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 1: clamps his teeth onto Tom Brady's ankle and is not

736
00:36:09,640 --> 00:36:13,720
Speaker 1: going to let go until he gets what he considers justice,

737
00:36:14,360 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 1: and even if it takes two years, which that did

738
00:36:17,239 --> 00:36:22,120
Speaker 1: and was a huge, huge distraction over two years for

739
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 1: something that we could argue about it all day, I'm sure,

740
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 1: for something that had very very little to do with

741
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: whether the Patriots ever lost or won a football game.

742
00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:34,680
Speaker 1: But be that as it may, I don't see any

743
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: way that Goodell turns this around. Now, Peter, let's talk

744
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: to you a little bit about the Bills. There. Big

745
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:43,879
Speaker 1: quarterback decision came out yesterday. You were at camp back

746
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:45,880
Speaker 1: at the end of July. You could not have been

747
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:50,000
Speaker 1: surprised that the Bills chose Nathan Peterman to start the opener. Huh. Well,

748
00:36:50,200 --> 00:36:53,440
Speaker 1: I thought after the Cincinnati preseason game, I thought that

749
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: was a startling first half to watch. And what I

750
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 1: saw in that, well I had halftime. I said, the

751
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 1: Bills can't start Josh Allen. You know, they got to

752
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: start either mccaren or Peterman because you can't put your

753
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:14,480
Speaker 1: rookie quarterback behind an offensive line that either had a

754
00:37:14,560 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 1: bad day or stinx. I mean, you just can't do it.

755
00:37:18,640 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: So I looked at it in that on that day

756
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,840
Speaker 1: and said, you know, josh Allen needs not only to

757
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,759
Speaker 1: learn a little bit more to learn to especially to

758
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 1: get the ball out quicker, but I also think you

759
00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: don't want to put him in harm's way like that.

760
00:37:33,760 --> 00:37:35,840
Speaker 1: I think the Bills make the right call. Yeah, And

761
00:37:35,880 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: it was kind of obviously even in behind that same

762
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: offensive line, Peterman seemed to play consistently. I mean, we

763
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,840
Speaker 1: saw aj roller coaster his way through a statistical preseason,

764
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: and of course Josh Allen's a rookie quarterback. You know

765
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:51,160
Speaker 1: he was going to be a roller coaster Peterman. I

766
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 1: give this to Peterman, Okay, he really had a good

767
00:37:55,840 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 1: preseason with all the pressure in the world on him.

768
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:01,880
Speaker 1: I think we all felt on July first that if

769
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 1: you looked at the Bills, well, Peterman's number three. I

770
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,879
Speaker 1: mean everybody had to have felt that way. McCarron won

771
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:12,560
Speaker 1: Alan two and Peterman three or something like that, whether

772
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:16,359
Speaker 1: you had Alan or McCarron first. And you know, every

773
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,600
Speaker 1: day it's just like Sean McDermott said, you know, every day,

774
00:38:21,760 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman show that he belonged. And so I looked

775
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:27,200
Speaker 1: at it as I thought it was the right call

776
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 1: by the Bills. Peter, just your overall aiment of what

777
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:32,880
Speaker 1: the Bills might look like this year. What kind of

778
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:36,440
Speaker 1: a season should Bills fans anticipate. Well, in my opinion,

779
00:38:36,600 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: I think it has to be a season where they

780
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,920
Speaker 1: control the ball and they try to play some keepaway

781
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,960
Speaker 1: and try to have long drives. I think it'll be

782
00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:49,719
Speaker 1: a good year, a really good year, assuming he can

783
00:38:49,800 --> 00:38:54,160
Speaker 1: play sixteen games for Lashawn McCoy. On the other side

784
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:57,319
Speaker 1: of the ball, I still want to know who's going

785
00:38:57,360 --> 00:39:01,440
Speaker 1: to be the quarterback disruptor, who's going to be the

786
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:05,959
Speaker 1: guy who keeps offensive coordinators up at night. That would

787
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: be probably the thing that would worry me the most,

788
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:11,080
Speaker 1: the fact that I don't think the Bills are in

789
00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,920
Speaker 1: position to play many scoring contests. And I love the

790
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:18,759
Speaker 1: addition of Starlow to Leiley, but I still think that

791
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: they've got to answer this question. Who's going to be

792
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: their multi sack guy, Who's going to be the guy

793
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:29,360
Speaker 1: who scares quarterbacks? That's still very much a TBA A

794
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of good questions. We're surrounded by questions about this team. Peter.

795
00:39:32,760 --> 00:39:34,360
Speaker 1: Thank you. We look forward to talk to you every Tuesday.

796
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 1: You're on the show. Thanks very much. Sounds good, guys,

797
00:39:36,480 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 1: See thank you. King, NBC Sports columnists, the author of

798
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:43,319
Speaker 1: Football Morning in America on Monday Mornings Pro Football Pro

799
00:39:43,400 --> 00:39:45,920
Speaker 1: Football Talk Dot NBC Sports. That's where you find it.

800
00:39:46,160 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: Pretty good incisive analysis of the NFL. Yeah, and you

801
00:39:49,239 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: talk about a guy who I like it because you

802
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 1: can get inside about every team in the league and

803
00:39:55,560 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 1: issues and topics. As you can imagine having written that article,

804
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,200
Speaker 1: and it started out as Monday Morning Quarterback Announce, moved

805
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: over to NBC and now it's a Football Morning in America.

806
00:40:07,680 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 1: It is a very long article, so you got to

807
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,239
Speaker 1: take some time to read the entire thing. But having

808
00:40:12,320 --> 00:40:16,239
Speaker 1: written that type of article for so long, there's not

809
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 1: too many executives in the NFL that are afraid to

810
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,440
Speaker 1: talk to him. To pears, he's been a Hall of

811
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:24,440
Speaker 1: Fame voter for years and years. He's been trusted by

812
00:40:24,560 --> 00:40:30,800
Speaker 1: players for years and years, and he has his like

813
00:40:30,960 --> 00:40:32,640
Speaker 1: he says he likes to take the pulse of the

814
00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:35,520
Speaker 1: league every single week during the season, and and it's

815
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:39,000
Speaker 1: nice to let us to read about what he thinks

816
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,400
Speaker 1: of it. It's a he's an interesting guys. He's been

817
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: a good acquaintance of mine, almost a friend of mine

818
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:48,200
Speaker 1: for a long long time. And I'm glad we got

819
00:40:48,320 --> 00:40:50,279
Speaker 1: him on on Tuesdays. I mean, I feel bad though

820
00:40:50,320 --> 00:40:52,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be catching up on sleep. So always the

821
00:40:52,520 --> 00:40:54,960
Speaker 1: day after the day after, when you stay up all night,

822
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,200
Speaker 1: you can usually gut it out that next day. But

823
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 1: Tuesday is a rough one. Yeah, up all morning in

824
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,000
Speaker 1: America Monday mornings. Peter King will be with us on Tuesdays.

825

Speaker 1: o'clock today. We got Greg Coseell later in the week.

832

Speaker 1: Eric Wood's going to join us up. I believe on

833
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 1: Friday this week. You believe that Eric would? We haven't

834
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:43,200
Speaker 1: talking to him since his I believe it. I do too,

835
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,879
Speaker 1: believe it. I do. It's gonna happen it, Murph is real.

836
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 1: If you say it, I believe it. Good all right? Um,

837
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:51,239
Speaker 1: what else are a couple other guests. Oh, Lorenzo will

838
00:41:51,239 --> 00:41:53,760
Speaker 1: be with us on Friday. Um, we got practice tomorrow.

839
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: Brownie will be out of practice. We are in a

840
00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:59,080
Speaker 1: regular season mode now with the Bills. Things have changed,

841
00:41:59,520 --> 00:42:04,279
Speaker 1: right from April May June? April May and June or right, Yeah,

842
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,400
Speaker 1: that's before training camp. It's like this place is a ghost. Yes,

843
00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:10,320
Speaker 1: we're not there now. We got plenty of stuff to

844
00:42:10,360 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: talk about, including uh, Nathan Peterman Sunday started a quarterback.

845
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:16,799
Speaker 1: How many starts for Nathan Peterman this year? That's our

846
00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:18,759
Speaker 1: topic of the day. That's our Twitter poll. We're talking

847
00:42:18,760 --> 00:42:21,480
Speaker 1: to you about it. Eight three fifteen, the number two

848
00:42:21,560 --> 00:42:24,279
Speaker 1: three one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

849
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: got a call on the line from Charlie and Buffalo. Charlie,

850
00:42:27,040 --> 00:42:30,480
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air. This isn't Charlie. Oh

851
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,640
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Who's this Tom from the West Side? Oh sorry,

852
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:36,680
Speaker 1: Tom ahead, board, says Charlie. Sorry about that. Hey, I

853
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: miss I, miss Eric and Richie already get that out there. Okay, Yeah,

854
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: but anyway, I saw the Power rankings this morning and

855
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,200
Speaker 1: they had us west of thirty first, and I think

856
00:42:48,239 --> 00:42:54,719
Speaker 1: that's awful. Well, who's thirty two Indianapolis. Okay, now, I

857
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:56,880
Speaker 1: think that's kind of low. I think they're basing it

858
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,759
Speaker 1: on the offensive line, but they got the Jets ahead

859
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 1: of them, and I mean they're starting a rookie quarterback. Now,

860
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:05,800
Speaker 1: I think our one percentage is gonna go down because

861
00:43:05,920 --> 00:43:09,400
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman is starting. I don't see us beating Baltimore,

862
00:43:10,080 --> 00:43:13,359
Speaker 1: and we might be lucky with our defense pull out

863
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:16,040
Speaker 1: one or two wins out of the first handful of games.

864
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: But I honestly believe if you're asking this question, Peterman

865
00:43:22,840 --> 00:43:25,359
Speaker 1: is not gonna last more than four games. Well, we're

866
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 1: asking how many will he start? So how many think

867
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:32,520
Speaker 1: he'll start? Four? Three, four? Probably four? Okay, all right,

868
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,560
Speaker 1: we'll see why. Now why not? Is that just because

869
00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 1: of the offensive line or do you think it's because

870
00:43:37,360 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 1: of the way he's gonna play. He's done what you've

871
00:43:40,280 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: done with me? Forget it. I'm always all business. Get lost. Okay.

872
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,400
Speaker 1: I don't know where power rankings. I mean, that's the thing.

873
00:43:49,480 --> 00:43:51,239
Speaker 1: I don't know where power rankings come from or how

874
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:52,839
Speaker 1: they come up with that. I don't. I think they

875
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:56,239
Speaker 1: are absolutely meaningless. We have standings, we have a way

876
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:58,839
Speaker 1: to determine who's ahead of whom and I'm pretty good

877
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:04,000
Speaker 1: with that. Well, listen, I think most football fans know.

878
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:08,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't predict what the Bills we're gonna do last year.

879
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:11,480
Speaker 1: It was it's so unpredictable, particularly at this point in

880
00:44:11,520 --> 00:44:12,880
Speaker 1: the year. You don't know who these teams are going

881
00:44:12,920 --> 00:44:14,600
Speaker 1: to be. That's why you go through and they say hey,

882
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:17,719
Speaker 1: and we even do it here yesterday we said, you know,

883
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:20,040
Speaker 1: the first three opponents of the Buffalo Bills or that

884
00:44:20,160 --> 00:44:23,319
Speaker 1: had the best past defense in the National Football League

885
00:44:23,320 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: a year ago, and it means nothing because as soon

886
00:44:27,320 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: as they tee it up this year, they're gonna have

887
00:44:30,160 --> 00:44:33,120
Speaker 1: different rankings. Those three teams won't be the top ranked

888
00:44:33,160 --> 00:44:36,000
Speaker 1: pass defenses in the NFL. They may be in the

889
00:44:36,080 --> 00:44:38,160
Speaker 1: top ten or top five even, but they're not gonna

890
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,839
Speaker 1: be the top three. It's just the way things are.

891
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,440
Speaker 1: Things change year to year. It's fun to think about

892
00:44:43,480 --> 00:44:46,239
Speaker 1: because we here in Buffalo, and I've said this before

893
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,680
Speaker 1: in the show we hear in Buffalo tend to project

894
00:44:48,840 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 1: last year onto this year for all the other teams

895
00:44:51,719 --> 00:44:55,480
Speaker 1: except ours, and that's just the way football fandom is.

896
00:44:55,880 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: It's our job to do that. Yeah, you take what

897
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,799
Speaker 1: you know, and you projected onto what's going on now

898
00:45:01,840 --> 00:45:04,040
Speaker 1: and how the thing And you take problems you had

899
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,480
Speaker 1: a year ago, and you project all those things you've

900
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:08,720
Speaker 1: done to try and solve those problems onto this season,

901
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 1: and you hope that most of them are writing if

902
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:14,799
Speaker 1: they are, the only thing you haven't done is anticipate

903
00:45:14,840 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 1: the problems you now have. You haven't anticipated the oncoming problem,

904
00:45:18,760 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 1: right or the right and so. And things get better, yea,

905
00:45:22,320 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: And things get better, and things are always different than

906
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:28,800
Speaker 1: what we think they're gonna be before the season begins.

907
00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,279
Speaker 1: If I probably said this more on this show over

908
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 1: the last few years in any other statement, it's a

909
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:35,480
Speaker 1: week to week league. It's not just year to year

910
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,880
Speaker 1: it is. It's going to look different next week at

911
00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:40,680
Speaker 1: this time, going into the home opening against the Chargers

912
00:45:40,680 --> 00:45:42,600
Speaker 1: than it does this week. It's just the way it is.

913
00:45:42,640 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: It's a week to week league. So your power rankings,

914
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:47,800
Speaker 1: I don't know what they mean. You're exactly right, Murphy.

915
00:45:47,800 --> 00:45:50,440
Speaker 1: It is a week to week league. And by the

916
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:54,279
Speaker 1: end of the NFL this season in twenty eighteen is

917
00:45:54,360 --> 00:45:57,640
Speaker 1: going to look two hundred percent different in a month

918
00:45:58,360 --> 00:46:01,680
Speaker 1: than it does now. Hey, this was interesting. Last night

919
00:46:01,719 --> 00:46:04,680
Speaker 1: to US Open tennis. Roger Federer, the second seed, just

920
00:46:04,760 --> 00:46:07,000
Speaker 1: had a terrible night. It was hot in New York.

921
00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: It was sweltering in New York, and he played a

922
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:13,120
Speaker 1: match against a fifty fifth seed, John Milman in the

923
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:17,240
Speaker 1: US Open. Any loss. Roger Federer played poorly, double faulted

924
00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:21,120
Speaker 1: ten times, lost in four sets in the fourth round

925
00:46:21,120 --> 00:46:23,920
Speaker 1: of John Milman. The match began Monday, concluded at one

926
00:46:23,960 --> 00:46:26,320
Speaker 1: am today at the US Open in New York. So

927
00:46:26,719 --> 00:46:29,400
Speaker 1: the funny part was, so Milman knocks off Roger Federer,

928
00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,360
Speaker 1: You think, right, this is a big highlight of his

929
00:46:31,520 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 1: earlier big moment, never done anything like this before. His

930
00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:37,120
Speaker 1: quote after was hilarious. One o'clock in the morning, John

931
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: mil Milman just knocked off Roger Federer, he says his quote.

932
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:43,160
Speaker 1: It's one o'clock now, I probably probably should try and

933
00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:45,560
Speaker 1: get a recovery. I've got a seven o'clock in the

934
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,279
Speaker 1: morning fantasy draft, so I'm gonna get up for that

935
00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:50,719
Speaker 1: and hopefully I have a good draft. I'm second pick.

936
00:46:50,760 --> 00:46:52,920
Speaker 1: I don't know whether I'm gonna go Todd Gurley or

937
00:46:53,000 --> 00:46:56,480
Speaker 1: living on Bell. That's time his mind. After he beats

938
00:46:56,760 --> 00:47:00,479
Speaker 1: Roger Federer, that's great. The NFL is an eight hundred

939
00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,360
Speaker 1: pound guerrilla, is it not? Itelievable, that's what he's thinking of.

940
00:47:04,520 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 1: It really is not. It's really unbelievable. Um, fantasy drafts.

941
00:47:09,120 --> 00:47:10,640
Speaker 1: I mean, you listen to the guys that come on

942
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 1: after us Choping the bullog and that's man, they talk

943
00:47:13,280 --> 00:47:16,239
Speaker 1: about fantasy drafts. They're in dozen, they're in a couple

944
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 1: of dozen leagues. It sounds like they're I mean there,

945
00:47:18,520 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: that's all they do. And for me, I'm kind of

946
00:47:20,840 --> 00:47:24,239
Speaker 1: more old school. I tried fantasy once back in the

947
00:47:24,320 --> 00:47:26,000
Speaker 1: day with the CBS had us doing it. You know

948
00:47:26,040 --> 00:47:28,279
Speaker 1: all that. Man, I don't have I do not have

949
00:47:28,440 --> 00:47:31,920
Speaker 1: the time to do it because it can it can

950
00:47:32,040 --> 00:47:36,200
Speaker 1: consume you. I mean you spend time reading injury reports

951
00:47:36,280 --> 00:47:38,160
Speaker 1: and then you know, and I was doing it anyway

952
00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: for my job, and then to go out and research

953
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:44,319
Speaker 1: all this other stuff about who you got to pick

954
00:47:44,360 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 1: and try and trade guys, and you're on the phone

955
00:47:46,360 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 1: about everything except the game that I'm doing for. I mean,

956
00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:51,200
Speaker 1: I couldn't do it. I lasted like one year and

957
00:47:51,680 --> 00:47:55,480
Speaker 1: I made it. Let me two lineup changes and I

958
00:47:55,520 --> 00:47:57,520
Speaker 1: don't even and I can't even remember what they were.

959
00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,279
Speaker 1: I just do not have the time to do it.

960
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:02,360
Speaker 1: I know it's very popular, and I get what it's

961
00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: really popular. I don't. I could never get around the

962
00:48:05,160 --> 00:48:07,600
Speaker 1: fact that I'd be rooting for weird things to happen

963
00:48:07,920 --> 00:48:11,560
Speaker 1: with the outcome kind of secondary, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

964
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:13,960
Speaker 1: it's rooting for weird things. I don't really care who

965
00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:15,360
Speaker 1: wins the game, but I need him to run for

966
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:18,480
Speaker 1: one hundred yards. The proponents of fantasy will tell you

967
00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:22,000
Speaker 1: that it makes fans out of more people on a

968
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:24,960
Speaker 1: league wide scale. They have they'll they'll be interested in

969
00:48:25,120 --> 00:48:27,520
Speaker 1: this game and that game because they have players in

970
00:48:27,600 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 1: it that are on their team. They won't It won't

971
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:31,440
Speaker 1: be just be for Bills fans. It won't be just

972
00:48:31,520 --> 00:48:33,640
Speaker 1: about the Bills. It'll be about the Bills, but it

973
00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 1: will be also about the four or five other teams

974
00:48:35,800 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 1: that you have players on, so you'll be your interest

975
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:41,720
Speaker 1: will widen across the league, and you know, the league

976
00:48:41,800 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 1: likes that. Plus the fact that it is wildly popular,

977
00:48:45,080 --> 00:48:48,400
Speaker 1: particularly and now it's gonna listen with the new gambling

978
00:48:48,480 --> 00:48:52,440
Speaker 1: laws or the lack thereof. Uh, it's gonna I think

979
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:56,000
Speaker 1: it's gonna mushroom. Don't you think gambling is Yeah, And

980
00:48:56,080 --> 00:49:01,160
Speaker 1: I think when draft came and fan duel came out,

981
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,040
Speaker 1: they explode, And I mean they exploded fast, fast, And

982
00:49:06,160 --> 00:49:08,320
Speaker 1: that's why that's why they had to make rulings on

983
00:49:08,400 --> 00:49:11,880
Speaker 1: the gambling laws, because of the fact people want to

984
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 1: do that. They played so much. Sure, all right, we

985
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,960
Speaker 1: gotta break care. We're gonna talk more about Khalil Mack

986
00:49:16,000 --> 00:49:17,719
Speaker 1: in the next hour, and at two o'clock we got

Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman coming into the studio, so it's make sure

Speaker 1: of them in for treatments and conditioning work, however, and

994
00:49:49,960 --> 00:49:52,400
Speaker 1: the Bills reportedly have a couple of players veterans in

995
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 1: for workouts veteran free agents. Reportedly, quarterback Paxton Lynch, just

1002

Speaker 1: the opener in Baltimore Sunday at one pm. The Steelers

1007
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:28,040
Speaker 1: officially want Lebon Bell to get back to work. That's

1008
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: what his teammates said. That was a no show with

1009
00:50:30,239 --> 00:50:32,719
Speaker 1: the team's facility yesterday. He is a fourteen and a

1010
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 1: half million dollar franchise tender waiting for him. He is

1011
00:50:35,520 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: yet to sign it. Steelers center Marquise Pouncey told ESPN

1012
00:50:39,120 --> 00:50:41,560
Speaker 1: he'll be here on Wednesday. Count On It said teammates

1013
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:43,920
Speaker 1: are not concerned about Bell's absence because they know he

1014
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,880
Speaker 1: will show up ready to play. One day after naming

1015
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:49,719
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold as their starting quarterback, to New York Jets

1016
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,319
Speaker 1: added one of his former Pac twelve rivals to their

1017
00:50:52,360 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 1: practice squad. Davis Webb, third round pick of the Giants

1018
00:50:55,200 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 1: last year, released Sunday by the Giants, went unclaimed on

1019
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:00,360
Speaker 1: waivers and became a free agent. He was signed by

1020
00:51:00,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. The Jets carrying only Donald and

1021
00:51:02,800 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 1: Josh McCown on their fifty three man roster. Eagles have

1022
00:51:06,080 --> 00:51:09,200
Speaker 1: resigned wide receiver Marcus Wheaton and put ten on Richard

1023
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:12,360
Speaker 1: Rodgers on injured reserve. Wheaton originally signed by the Eagles

1024
00:51:12,440 --> 00:51:14,920
Speaker 1: back in May. Hockey comes back to Buffalo this week.

1025
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,680
Speaker 1: The Prospects Challenge kicks off Friday, with the prospects from

1026
00:51:18,680 --> 00:51:21,239
Speaker 1: the Sabers, Bruins, Penguins, and Devils going head to head

1027
00:51:21,480 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 1: at Harbor Center. Buffalo plays New Jersey seven o'clock on

1028
00:51:24,800 --> 00:51:27,600
Speaker 1: Friday night. Roger Federer was upset last night at the

1029
00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:31,040
Speaker 1: US Open. Fifty fifth seed John Millman took advantage of

1030
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:33,640
Speaker 1: Federer's fatigue as a match went to one o'clock, knocked

1031
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,040
Speaker 1: him off in four sets. And Rick Pettino says it

1032
00:51:36,200 --> 00:51:38,839
Speaker 1: is unlikely her return to coaching at the college level.

1033
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:43,120
Speaker 1: He released the book yesterday entitled Patino My Story, and

1034
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:45,200
Speaker 1: he says his story includes the fact that he would

1035
00:51:45,239 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 1: probably not coach again. All right, John Murphy, Steve Tasker

1036
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:50,400
Speaker 1: here at one Bill's driver as we get ready to

1037
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,080
Speaker 1: start hour two. We are starting hour two. We didn't

1038
00:51:53,080 --> 00:51:54,680
Speaker 1: get it. We talked about this last hour. We didn't

1039
00:51:54,680 --> 00:51:56,640
Speaker 1: spend a whole lot of time, if at all, talking

1040
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:59,080
Speaker 1: about Khalil Mack yesterday. We decided to do so today

1041
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:01,960
Speaker 1: to catch up the monumental trade over the weekend. Khalil

1042
00:52:02,040 --> 00:52:04,320
Speaker 1: Mack goes to the Chicago Bears, joining us on the

1043
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:06,840
Speaker 1: subway Fresh Tank hotline. The guy who covers the Oakland

1044
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:10,960
Speaker 1: Raiders and the NFL for the athletic Bay Area. It's

1045
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:13,600
Speaker 1: been twelve years with the San Francisco Chronicle before that.

1046
00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:15,719
Speaker 1: Happy to have Vic Tafer round the line with this, Vic,

1047
00:52:15,800 --> 00:52:17,680
Speaker 1: John Murphy and Seam Tasker here in Buffalo, Thank you

1048
00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,600
Speaker 1: very much. Yeah, no problem. How are you guys doing good?

1049
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: I got a little soreness on my head from scratching

1050
00:52:25,560 --> 00:52:27,120
Speaker 1: my head trying to figure out what it was that

1051
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:29,480
Speaker 1: led the Raiders to think that they should trade away

1052
00:52:29,520 --> 00:52:32,560
Speaker 1: Khalil Mac despite their contract issue. What do you think

1053
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:35,480
Speaker 1: they were thinking there? Vic? Yeah, I mean I talked

1054
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,120
Speaker 1: to Regie McKenzie and John Gordon the last few days. Nice.

1055
00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:39,920
Speaker 1: Still I'm scratching my head too. I don't know I

1056
00:52:40,160 --> 00:52:43,160
Speaker 1: understand it. I think my take is it panicked. I

1057
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:46,080
Speaker 1: think they didn't really have a plan, you know, to

1058
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:49,000
Speaker 1: match it or to get him the money he wanted

1059
00:52:49,040 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 1: to get. I think they didn't weren't proactive enough over

1060
00:52:52,040 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 1: the last couple of years, and they kind of started

1061
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:56,160
Speaker 1: taking trade offers and they reached the point, I think

1062
00:52:56,200 --> 00:52:58,320
Speaker 1: on Friday night, but they kind of said, you know what,

1063
00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 1: if we get offered two first round pick, we're gonna

1064
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,840
Speaker 1: do it, and the Bears. The Bears jumped into you know,

1065
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,399
Speaker 1: which is a smart move, and you gotta I think,

1066
00:53:06,640 --> 00:53:09,000
Speaker 1: a future Hall of Fame player in his prime, which

1067
00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 1: is uh, I can't. I can't recall many teams trading

1068
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: guys like that. So yeah, I'm also still confused as

1069
00:53:15,000 --> 00:53:17,600
Speaker 1: to why it was done. How far do you think

1070
00:53:17,680 --> 00:53:20,520
Speaker 1: this pushes back their timeline for success. I don't know

1071
00:53:20,600 --> 00:53:23,440
Speaker 1: that their roster was ready to win a Super Bowl,

1072
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:26,560
Speaker 1: but certainly last year they went to the league into

1073
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:28,920
Speaker 1: the year thinking they've had every reason to think they

1074
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,040
Speaker 1: were going to get deep into the playoffs. Do you

1075
00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:35,799
Speaker 1: think this pushes their timeline back significantly, maybe a year

1076
00:53:35,880 --> 00:53:38,200
Speaker 1: or two. I do think I do like Paul Gunther

1077
00:53:38,320 --> 00:53:40,160
Speaker 1: a lot in the defensive coordinator. He's part of the

1078
00:53:41,000 --> 00:53:43,640
Speaker 1: probably is the best coordinat they've had here in probably

1079
00:53:43,719 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 1: nine or ten years. So I think he's a really

1080
00:53:45,320 --> 00:53:47,640
Speaker 1: good job. I think that's probably what I'm sure it wasn't.

1081
00:53:47,640 --> 00:53:49,279
Speaker 1: The back of John Gooden's mind was like, you know what,

1082
00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:52,200
Speaker 1: guns is so good, you can make mores less. We can.

1083
00:53:52,320 --> 00:53:54,600
Speaker 1: We can get by and add some picks and some

1084
00:53:54,719 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 1: stilar cap space for next year. So I think they

1085
00:53:57,680 --> 00:54:00,480
Speaker 1: won't totally fall off the cliff. But obviously saying lose

1086
00:54:00,520 --> 00:54:03,200
Speaker 1: a guy like Kurle Mack and get nothing back this year,

1087
00:54:03,239 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: they got me all that gout his future pick, so

1088
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,719
Speaker 1: it's it's a huge hit to take a week before

1089
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:11,239
Speaker 1: the season starts. It gets money, But we've learned over

1090
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,200
Speaker 1: the NFL in recent years that teams can afford whatever

1091
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,680
Speaker 1: they want to afford, right, I mean, even with whatever

1092
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 1: amount of money they would have maybe made a deal

1093
00:54:19,560 --> 00:54:22,440
Speaker 1: with to keep Khalil Mack. You construct your cap so

1094
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:25,880
Speaker 1: that you make it work, right, It's not impossible. No, definitely,

1095
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:27,640
Speaker 1: I think like good teams do that, And I think

1096
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:29,719
Speaker 1: everyone was freaking out over the super price, you know

1097
00:54:30,320 --> 00:54:32,799
Speaker 1: when I got ninety million guaranteed. But if you look

1098
00:54:32,840 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 1: at if you project, you know, what he's making Derek Cars,

1099
00:54:35,160 --> 00:54:36,480
Speaker 1: and I know that that's what I'm saying. You can't

1100
00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:38,520
Speaker 1: afford to keep both Car and Mac. But if you

1101
00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 1: project their stalary cap what they're going to make over

1102
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,960
Speaker 1: the next five years, and the factor in the ten

1103
00:54:43,040 --> 00:54:46,040
Speaker 1: million dollars increases in the cap every year, you're looking

1104
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:48,920
Speaker 1: at about twenty percent of your cap on two guys,

1105
00:54:48,960 --> 00:54:50,960
Speaker 1: which I think if you look at history, I think

1106
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:53,839
Speaker 1: that's pretty much not too far out of out of whack.

1107
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 1: I think that's you know, if you have two star

1108
00:54:56,440 --> 00:54:59,239
Speaker 1: foundation type pieces, and that's that's what it takes. What

1109
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:01,839
Speaker 1: give us a little thumbnail where the Raiders are as

1110
00:55:01,840 --> 00:55:03,839
Speaker 1: they begin the season and off the top I had.

1111
00:55:03,840 --> 00:55:05,640
Speaker 1: I can't remember who they're gonna open up with, but

1112
00:55:05,960 --> 00:55:07,920
Speaker 1: you know what's the vibe coming out of there? Now

1113
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 1: that Gruden has done this, is he running the risk of,

1114
00:55:11,480 --> 00:55:13,840
Speaker 1: you know, having his players look sideways at him a

1115
00:55:13,840 --> 00:55:16,440
Speaker 1: little bit? Does this change the attitude or the reception

1116
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:19,120
Speaker 1: John Gruden's gonna get? Maybe in the locker room is

1117
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:22,400
Speaker 1: one thing, and the fan base is another. Yeah. I

1118
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,600
Speaker 1: think short term, the players definitely were a little upset.

1119
00:55:24,719 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 1: Man definite more shocked and upset. But I act schedule

1120
00:55:27,920 --> 00:55:29,600
Speaker 1: is good in that sense. They opened up on Monday

1121
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 1: and night football against the Rams at home with a

1122
00:55:32,160 --> 00:55:34,800
Speaker 1: crazy crowd. So I think Gruden will get them. Anybody

1123
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:36,759
Speaker 1: can get them fired up for that, and Gooden definitely will.

1124
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,960
Speaker 1: So I think after huge game, as far as if

1125
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 1: they get off in the right foot, and if they don't,

1126
00:55:41,719 --> 00:55:43,560
Speaker 1: I think the players probably will think back to their

1127
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:45,600
Speaker 1: initial reaction. You know, I'm Saturday like, what what the

1128
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: hell just happened here? So I think you need that,

1129
00:55:47,960 --> 00:55:49,399
Speaker 1: you need to win that to kind of get things

1130
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:51,000
Speaker 1: to turn around a little bit, and I feel like

1131
00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,799
Speaker 1: you hadn't done the wrong path. Hey. An easy analysis

1132
00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 1: of Gruden's motivation might be that well, as an offensive guy,

1133
00:55:58,080 --> 00:56:00,200
Speaker 1: he puts no value in defensive stand up. It's like

1134
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:02,800
Speaker 1: Kalil Mack? Is that is that accurate? Is that in

1135
00:56:02,920 --> 00:56:05,840
Speaker 1: play at all? Here? Do you think? I don't think so.

1136
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,040
Speaker 1: I mean, all along he said that Komack was our

1137
00:56:09,080 --> 00:56:11,480
Speaker 1: best player, not one of our best players, he was

1138
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:14,040
Speaker 1: our best player, and talking to him, gone through back

1139
00:56:14,160 --> 00:56:16,200
Speaker 1: here four or five months ago. I know they were

1140
00:56:16,320 --> 00:56:19,920
Speaker 1: excited that Khalil had not reached his potential. They thought

1141
00:56:19,960 --> 00:56:22,000
Speaker 1: he wasn't getting a lot better because if you look

1142
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 1: at the coaching scheamship had been bias free years here.

1143
00:56:24,440 --> 00:56:26,080
Speaker 1: It wasn't a lot of moving around and didn't really

1144
00:56:26,120 --> 00:56:29,880
Speaker 1: take advantage his versatilities because teammates weren't that great as

1145
00:56:29,920 --> 00:56:32,160
Speaker 1: far as not getting a lot of push up the middle.

1146
00:56:32,200 --> 00:56:33,960
Speaker 1: So I think they were excited that he wasn't even

1147
00:56:34,040 --> 00:56:36,800
Speaker 1: better than it had been. So I think I just

1148
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,480
Speaker 1: think they didn't have a good plan. I think they

1149
00:56:39,600 --> 00:56:42,280
Speaker 1: kind of panics. Talk a little bit about the relationship

1150
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:45,040
Speaker 1: between John Gruden and Reggie McKenzie. Does it seem to

1151
00:56:45,080 --> 00:56:48,200
Speaker 1: be Are they of one mind in their philosophy about

1152
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:51,239
Speaker 1: putting the team together. Yeah, it's tough. I think they

1153
00:56:51,560 --> 00:56:54,279
Speaker 1: get along. I think personality wise, they're both pretty easy

1154
00:56:54,320 --> 00:56:56,320
Speaker 1: going guys at times. But if you listen to what

1155
00:56:56,440 --> 00:56:58,960
Speaker 1: we're going on, and Gruden's been cutting all of Reggie's

1156
00:56:59,000 --> 00:57:01,040
Speaker 1: draft picks the last few year years and even in

1157
00:57:01,160 --> 00:57:03,840
Speaker 1: the press conference Sunday night, he tried to convey but

1158
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 1: there was a George decision to trade Mac and then

1159
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,719
Speaker 1: when we asked him why would you why, why would

1160
00:57:08,719 --> 00:57:11,000
Speaker 1: you ever throw in the second round pick? He's like,

1161
00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:14,880
Speaker 1: as REGI you know, Reggie's call. So that was that

1162
00:57:15,040 --> 00:57:17,880
Speaker 1: wasn't great. I just think that it's probably a one

1163
00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:20,720
Speaker 1: year a one year in marriage and the regial move on,

1164
00:57:20,840 --> 00:57:23,919
Speaker 1: to my take, but it could be worse. And there's

1165
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:25,480
Speaker 1: no like, I think they're not younging each other in

1166
00:57:25,520 --> 00:57:27,720
Speaker 1: the hallways. I think they both yeah, but they understand

1167
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 1: what's going on. There was Reggie's it was Reggie's call,

1168
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:33,360
Speaker 1: and then that a scrudent's call. That's always tough to

1169
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:36,800
Speaker 1: h to manage your way through that. There in transition

1170
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 1: a VIC glooming over it. It would seem everything with

1171
00:57:39,520 --> 00:57:42,360
Speaker 1: the Raiders is the Impendi moved to Las Vegas in

1172
00:57:42,400 --> 00:57:45,040
Speaker 1: a couple of years. I guess many of us thought, well,

1173
00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,640
Speaker 1: the Raiders are gonna do what they have to do

1174
00:57:46,720 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 1: to get a good team together so that they can

1175
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,720
Speaker 1: go and succeed run away in Las Vegas. But this

1176
00:57:50,840 --> 00:57:53,480
Speaker 1: would seem to short circuit that approach, doesn't it? This move,

1177
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:56,680
Speaker 1: this trade, it sure does. I mean Mark Davis said

1178
00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,560
Speaker 1: his goals went through the bowl for the fans in

1179
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:01,320
Speaker 1: Oakland and Rudin for the same thing. Ridden had a

1180
00:58:01,360 --> 00:58:04,120
Speaker 1: party for fans at Rickie Sports Bar here and at

1181
00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:06,360
Speaker 1: one point it says we're gonna Ben clear back back

1182
00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,560
Speaker 1: and fans had a huge roar. So, yeah, this does

1183
00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:11,760
Speaker 1: not seem to drive with that message. I think you're

1184
00:58:11,800 --> 00:58:13,439
Speaker 1: looking at it, and they probably are, and you're looking

1185
00:58:13,480 --> 00:58:16,160
Speaker 1: towards Vegas and getting you know, those draft picks in

1186
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: the next couple of years and more center kept space,

1187
00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:21,520
Speaker 1: brings more free agents, so I'm not sure you can

1188
00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,920
Speaker 1: say they're trying to win, you know, this year. You know.

1189
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,959
Speaker 1: One of the things also talk a little bit about

1190
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: their draft class and what they've done through training camp

1191
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:32,040
Speaker 1: that a lot of people were a little scratching their

1192
00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,520
Speaker 1: heads over their draft class and some of the picks

1193
00:58:34,600 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 1: they made and trying to find an overall plan. What's

1194
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:40,040
Speaker 1: the vibe been about the draft pack, draft picks and

1195
00:58:40,120 --> 00:58:44,120
Speaker 1: how they performed. It's really positive. Over the three guys

1196
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:47,439
Speaker 1: in defense, they got PJ. Hall in second round, Arden

1197
00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:50,160
Speaker 1: Key pass rusher in the third round, the more Hurst

1198
00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,000
Speaker 1: saw all the way down to the fifth round. Because

1199
00:58:52,040 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 1: it is heart condition, these in fine health wise, and

1200
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: all three of those guys have shown the guy on

1201
00:58:56,720 --> 00:58:59,760
Speaker 1: something extra the little juice there, and Peter Hall got

1202
00:58:59,800 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 1: some inside none Key looks like he has the moves,

1203
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:04,400
Speaker 1: are ready to least get to the quarterback. You know,

1204
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,600
Speaker 1: three downs if you have a chance. So I had

1205
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:08,800
Speaker 1: those three guys. Everyone's pretty high in those three guys

1206
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: as far as the rest of it. And Colton Miller

1207
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: they're gonna play him with left tackle. I'm as how

1208
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,760
Speaker 1: its gonna go. As they're saying all the right things,

1209
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: they're trying to build them up, but I'm not sure

1210
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,680
Speaker 1: if Colton Mill hasn't be good ensta the shoe really

1211
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:23,240
Speaker 1: to keep their card of trouble. So that's that's a

1212
00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:25,600
Speaker 1: big one. It's not a big question mark for the season.

1213
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:28,080
Speaker 1: I think where does AJ mccern right now on the

1214
00:59:28,360 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 1: Raiders depth chart? And what did you make of that

1215
00:59:30,560 --> 00:59:34,920
Speaker 1: kind of swap out EJ. Manual for AJ mccern. Yeah,

1216
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:38,160
Speaker 1: he's the only guy. He's only got they had. They

1217
00:59:38,200 --> 00:59:40,840
Speaker 1: cut both kind of Cook and EJ. Manual, which wasn't

1218
00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:42,800
Speaker 1: too big a shock as you could in trying and

1219
00:59:43,080 --> 00:59:45,040
Speaker 1: look at good and buy language, and they both were

1220
00:59:45,240 --> 00:59:48,200
Speaker 1: very good pre season. A. G. Manual had a nice

1221
00:59:48,240 --> 00:59:50,400
Speaker 1: game in the finale, but it doesn't mean much a

1222
00:59:50,440 --> 00:59:52,720
Speaker 1: plan against guys who got coming to the league. So

1223
00:59:52,800 --> 00:59:54,840
Speaker 1: I think I'm good and didn't buy into that performance

1224
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,640
Speaker 1: obviously him. I just think mccaren is a guy who's

1225
00:59:57,640 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 1: succuessing samiliarity with comp in Cincinnati Cooper from Alabama, and

1226
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 1: I guess if he was better than the two guys

1227
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,000
Speaker 1: I had, which this Matt saying a lot, So I

1228
01:00:06,040 --> 01:00:09,000
Speaker 1: don't really have this problem with with that one. Okay, Hey, Vic,

1229
01:00:09,080 --> 01:00:10,720
Speaker 1: thanks for this, Thanks for joining us spending a few

1230
01:00:10,720 --> 01:00:13,160
Speaker 1: minutes with us. Good luck to have a great season yourself.

1231
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:16,880
Speaker 1: Thank you very much. Vic Tayfer covers the Raiders in

1232
01:00:16,960 --> 01:00:19,960
Speaker 1: the NFL for the Athletic Bay Area website. He joined

1233
01:00:20,040 --> 01:00:22,840
Speaker 1: us on the subway Fresh sank Highline Subway Eat Fresh.

1234
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,680
Speaker 1: That's a tough one, Steve, and I was reading Vic's

1235
01:00:26,720 --> 01:00:29,760
Speaker 1: article in the Athletic about the Gruden's Sunday night news

1236
01:00:29,840 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: conference after you know, the transactions had all been made,

1237
01:00:33,240 --> 01:00:35,920
Speaker 1: including the trade he brought. He reminded me about the

1238
01:00:35,960 --> 01:00:40,680
Speaker 1: second rounder going along the reporter that John Gruden apparently

1239
01:00:40,720 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 1: didn't know they had done that. Yeah, I don't know

1240
01:00:42,800 --> 01:00:45,000
Speaker 1: if that's the case. He didn't make vic didn't make

1241
01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,120
Speaker 1: it sound like that, but certainly well he said, Gruden said,

1242
01:00:48,120 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 1: what do you say? Gruden said, go ask Reggie about that. Yeah.

1243
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't sound healthy out there, does it. And here's

1244
01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,480
Speaker 1: the thing, and you alluded to this a couple of

1245
01:00:55,600 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: years ago. I thought the Raiders were right on the

1246
01:00:57,960 --> 01:01:00,160
Speaker 1: cusp of Super Bowl contention, right. They go to the

1247
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:02,000
Speaker 1: playoffs to get into the playoffs, and the Jack del

1248
01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 1: Rio was their head coach, car gets hurt and that

1249
01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,320
Speaker 1: the kind of short circuited their ability to keep winning

1250
01:01:07,320 --> 01:01:09,080
Speaker 1: in the playoffs. But I thought the next year, meaning

1251
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:10,880
Speaker 1: last year, they were going to be really good. That

1252
01:01:11,040 --> 01:01:13,880
Speaker 1: didn't happen. And now one of the you would think

1253
01:01:13,920 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 1: one of the building blocks of the enfranchise traded away

1254
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:18,720
Speaker 1: for draft picks. It just doesn't. It doesn't add up.

1255
01:01:18,760 --> 01:01:21,720
Speaker 1: I don't get it. I think a lot of stuff

1256
01:01:21,760 --> 01:01:24,720
Speaker 1: that goes on in Oakland on the football field has

1257
01:01:24,760 --> 01:01:26,040
Speaker 1: a lot to do with the stuff that goes on

1258
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 1: off the football field. Like what I think the relationship

1259
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:32,320
Speaker 1: between Reggie Mackenzie and John Gruden isn't everything it should be.

1260
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,560
Speaker 1: I think John Ruden Gruden coming in on a ten

1261
01:01:34,640 --> 01:01:36,680
Speaker 1: year contract for one hundred million dollars out of the

1262
01:01:36,720 --> 01:01:39,600
Speaker 1: booth for ten years. I think that's a difficult transition

1263
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:45,760
Speaker 1: for him to make. His success was measured in Tampa Bay. Yes,

1264
01:01:45,800 --> 01:01:47,600
Speaker 1: he did win a world championship. That was in his

1265
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:51,400
Speaker 1: first year there with somebody else's players, And the longer

1266
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:54,960
Speaker 1: he stayed there, the worse it got. He did not

1267
01:01:55,200 --> 01:02:00,200
Speaker 1: know how to put together a team for now because

1268
01:02:00,240 --> 01:02:02,080
Speaker 1: he you know, and he's been criticized for it. He

1269
01:02:02,160 --> 01:02:04,760
Speaker 1: brought you know, Jordy Nelson is out there. Jordy Nelson

1270
01:02:05,120 --> 01:02:08,160
Speaker 1: was used up in Green Bay and left an elite

1271
01:02:08,240 --> 01:02:11,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and that club didn't you know, they're trying to

1272
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 1: support Aaron Rodgers is the best they can in Green Bay,

1273
01:02:15,400 --> 01:02:17,200
Speaker 1: better than a quarterback in the league. I mean, Aaron

1274
01:02:17,280 --> 01:02:20,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers is going to get supported by that organization. And

1275
01:02:20,320 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 1: Jordy Nelson wasn't good enough to support that guy. So

1276
01:02:23,080 --> 01:02:25,680
Speaker 1: I don't know how they think he's gonna be able

1277
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,160
Speaker 1: to support a guy like Derek Carr out in Oakland.

1278
01:02:28,800 --> 01:02:31,480
Speaker 1: It's this type of veteran player that John Gruden brings

1279
01:02:31,520 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 1: in that Justin doesn't seem to always have enough in

1280
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,880
Speaker 1: the tank to contribute in the way the Gruden needs

1281
01:02:36,920 --> 01:02:38,400
Speaker 1: him to. And I think if you look at his

1282
01:02:38,480 --> 01:02:40,760
Speaker 1: history in Tampa Bay after he won that World championship,

1283
01:02:42,640 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 1: it disintegrated on him. And I think it was the

1284
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:47,400
Speaker 1: way he handled his roster that was a large measure

1285
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:49,760
Speaker 1: to it. To see a large reason for it. Look,

1286
01:02:49,760 --> 01:02:51,280
Speaker 1: I'm not a Raiders fan, but yeah, heat to see

1287
01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,920
Speaker 1: a team get close and then back up, and that's

1288
01:02:53,960 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 1: a big back up move to trade away Khalil Mack. Listen,

1289
01:02:58,120 --> 01:02:59,800
Speaker 1: Bill's fans know how hard it is to sit and

1290
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,320
Speaker 1: watch all that stuff happen year after year after year.

1291
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:04,760
Speaker 1: And the Raiders looked like they were, like you said,

1292
01:03:04,800 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 1: they're on the cusp of being good for a while

1293
01:03:08,080 --> 01:03:11,840
Speaker 1: with Khalil Mack and Derek Carr, and all of a

1294
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: sudden and once see it evaporated and that and they

1295
01:03:15,800 --> 01:03:17,560
Speaker 1: can't get it back. It just doesn't seem to be

1296
01:03:17,600 --> 01:03:19,720
Speaker 1: able to get it back. Hey, Hey, we're gonna get

1297
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,440
Speaker 1: back to the Bills here. As we move along to

1298

1312
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:02,360
Speaker 1: five fifty From the tweet sheet. Thomas Derlac says my

1313
01:04:02,480 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: vote is five to eight, not because of performance, but

1314
01:04:05,680 --> 01:04:08,800
Speaker 1: due to injury concerns. O line play in the preseason

1315
01:04:08,960 --> 01:04:10,920
Speaker 1: is a great concern and would make it difficult for

1316
01:04:10,960 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 1: any quarterback to be effective. Let's hope day ball has

1317
01:04:13,600 --> 01:04:16,040
Speaker 1: a way to minimize the exposure of our quarterbacks. Yeah,

1318
01:04:16,120 --> 01:04:18,160
Speaker 1: we need to hope for that. I need to say

1319
01:04:18,240 --> 01:04:21,520
Speaker 1: this too, Steve. I think and look, I'm watched all

1320
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,480
Speaker 1: four preseason games, so all the issues on the offensive

1321
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:28,440
Speaker 1: line not overly impressive, particularly in the Cincinnati game. But

1322
01:04:28,600 --> 01:04:30,960
Speaker 1: I do think, you know, there's like a there's a

1323
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:33,680
Speaker 1: little bit of an overreaction going on to how the

1324
01:04:33,720 --> 01:04:36,320
Speaker 1: Bills offensive line played in preseason. I see it. I

1325
01:04:36,440 --> 01:04:39,560
Speaker 1: see why, but I think, look, I also part of

1326
01:04:39,600 --> 01:04:43,080
Speaker 1: preseason where was the first half against Carolina. Offensive line

1327
01:04:43,120 --> 01:04:46,000
Speaker 1: looked really solid in that game with a variety of

1328
01:04:46,040 --> 01:04:51,320
Speaker 1: personnel packages, with up a quicker tempo to the offense.

1329
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:53,520
Speaker 1: I do think they have answers to make that to

1330
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,960
Speaker 1: not let that offensive line to stand out there and

1331
01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:58,280
Speaker 1: look as poorly as they played. I expect we'll see

1332
01:04:58,320 --> 01:05:00,960
Speaker 1: some of those some of those answers this Sunday against Baltimore.

1333
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:03,280
Speaker 1: So I do think there's overreaction. I think it's like

1334
01:05:03,320 --> 01:05:05,440
Speaker 1: the house is burning down when people and it's always

1335
01:05:05,480 --> 01:05:07,520
Speaker 1: that way for fans when you watch the film and

1336
01:05:07,560 --> 01:05:09,960
Speaker 1: you get into it. You know, particularly as a team,

1337
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 1: when you know the ins and outs of what you're

1338
01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,760
Speaker 1: being asked to do. It's never as bad as it looks,

1339
01:05:14,920 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: you know on game day, and it's never as good

1340
01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:19,000
Speaker 1: as it looks. So as good as it looked against

1341
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,280
Speaker 1: Carolina probably wasn't perfect, and as bad as it looked

1342
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,040
Speaker 1: again even against Cleveland and the early going and against Cincinnati.

1343
01:05:24,600 --> 01:05:27,160
Speaker 1: It's not as bad as it looked there either. Certainly

1344
01:05:27,240 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: they were shuffling guys around on the interior the offensive

1345
01:05:29,680 --> 01:05:32,680
Speaker 1: line trying to find the right combination, and and Cincinnati

1346
01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:36,280
Speaker 1: game they played three different guys exactly. So it's never

1347
01:05:36,360 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: gonna be as bad as it seems. But let's face

1348
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:41,080
Speaker 1: it too, it's it's for real, and they're gonna be

1349
01:05:41,120 --> 01:05:43,360
Speaker 1: playing against the very best that the Baltimore Ravens have

1350
01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,560
Speaker 1: to offer, So they're gonna have to play better than

1351
01:05:45,600 --> 01:05:48,560
Speaker 1: they did to be successful. And I think, and I

1352
01:05:48,680 --> 01:05:51,280
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be a little bit of a roller coaster.

1353
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:53,680
Speaker 1: They will play well for stretches during the game, and

1354
01:05:53,680 --> 01:05:56,200
Speaker 1: they'll probably get beat for stretches during the game. I

1355
01:05:56,280 --> 01:05:59,240
Speaker 1: just think based on preseason. Look, if they played the

1356
01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,400
Speaker 1: way they played in preseason the first few games, then

1357
01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,480
Speaker 1: you're concerns about offensive line are spot on. But I

1358
01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:06,560
Speaker 1: think it's a little early, a little bit early right

1359
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:09,160
Speaker 1: now to be that concerned. Let's see how it plays

1360
01:06:09,200 --> 01:06:11,760
Speaker 1: out when the plays are real, when the players are real,

1361
01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,000
Speaker 1: when the schemes are in place, when their game planet

1362
01:06:14,040 --> 01:06:17,320
Speaker 1: against each other, when the personnel is set. Let's see

1363
01:06:17,360 --> 01:06:19,520
Speaker 1: how the offensive line looks in I'm not so concerned

1364
01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,600
Speaker 1: about how it looked against the Bengals or the Browns

1365
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 1: for that matter. A phone call here, Dennis on the

1366
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 1: line from Rochester, Dennis, Hello, you're on the air. I

1367
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:31,720
Speaker 1: feel the same way there, because it does take time,

1368
01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:35,439
Speaker 1: and they've they've got a lot of replacements and they've

1369
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,360
Speaker 1: got a lot of guys that they've got to try there,

1370
01:06:38,160 --> 01:06:41,040
Speaker 1: and so it's going to take a little time. And

1371
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:44,640
Speaker 1: I think that I think that the quarterback of the

1372
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: future though, is the big thrower there. I think I

1373
01:06:48,760 --> 01:06:52,920
Speaker 1: think he's the guy that's going to be their quarterback eventually. Yeaah,

1374
01:06:53,000 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 1: I do too well. I think that's yeah. I think

1375
01:06:55,320 --> 01:06:59,959
Speaker 1: everybody agrees with you there. Yeah. I like Peter Mandy

1376
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:03,280
Speaker 1: so the smart guy. He's a nice guy. I think

1377
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:07,560
Speaker 1: he can do well and on most occasions, but they're

1378
01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:09,400
Speaker 1: definitely going to need a guy that can throw the

1379
01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:11,800
Speaker 1: wall down field because they've got to got to open

1380
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,240
Speaker 1: up that secondary a little bit. And with a guy

1381
01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:19,000
Speaker 1: that can fire the wall that far and accurate, very accurate,

1382
01:07:19,040 --> 01:07:21,800
Speaker 1: with that's going to make a big difference in that offense.

1383
01:07:21,960 --> 01:07:24,280
Speaker 1: And before we get to Josh Allen and the difference

1384
01:07:24,280 --> 01:07:26,680
Speaker 1: he can provide. Thanks you for your call, Dennis. Before

1385
01:07:26,680 --> 01:07:29,600
Speaker 1: we get to that, what about how Nathan Peterman will

1386
01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:31,439
Speaker 1: help this offensive line look better? This is a question

1387
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: for him next hour. But when he joins us right,

1388
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 1: his quick release, his quick decision making more than his release,

1389
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 1: I think we'll go a long way towards helping the

1390
01:07:40,480 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 1: offensive line look more competent. I really do. I think

1391
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,280
Speaker 1: he'll make a difference with it. I don't know what

1392
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:46,480
Speaker 1: will happen. I don't know how much we'll get into it.

1393
01:07:46,600 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 1: But obviously, during a regular week, this is the day

1394
01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 1: when the coaching staff installs a game plan and formulates

1395
01:07:51,240 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 1: what they're going to do against their opponent. And Peterman

1396
01:07:53,960 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: is in today presumably to be a part of that,

1397
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,360
Speaker 1: and so Josh Allen will be in as well today.

1398
01:07:59,440 --> 01:08:03,200
Speaker 1: So don't know exactly what that's going to entail, but

1399
01:08:03,280 --> 01:08:05,919
Speaker 1: certainly they've got some ideas about what Nathan Peterman likes

1400
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:07,400
Speaker 1: to do and what he's gonna want to do in

1401
01:08:07,440 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 1: this game plan. And I think Brian day Ball, Sean McDermott, Tully,

1402
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:17,160
Speaker 1: you know, Castile, all these guys are gonna have a

1403
01:08:17,200 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 1: hand in what should be done against this Baltimore Raven

1404
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,839
Speaker 1: defense that was really formidable last year, and the Buffalo

1405
01:08:23,960 --> 01:08:27,120
Speaker 1: Bills are They've more so than you or me or

1406
01:08:27,160 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 1: any of our fans know, they've got a handle on

1407
01:08:28,960 --> 01:08:30,680
Speaker 1: what their offensive line is gonna be able to do,

1408
01:08:30,720 --> 01:08:33,439
Speaker 1: and they're gonna have a confidence level as to what

1409
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:36,760
Speaker 1: they can accomplish. And there's no doubt that they're gonna

1410
01:08:36,800 --> 01:08:39,080
Speaker 1: feel like their offensive line is skilled enough to give

1411
01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,200
Speaker 1: them enough time and enough pressure enough in the run

1412
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:42,600
Speaker 1: game that they're gonna be able to put together a

1413
01:08:42,600 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 1: game plan that can win. It's not gonna be like, listen,

1414
01:08:45,720 --> 01:08:47,439
Speaker 1: we have no shot here. No, you know, it's not

1415
01:08:47,520 --> 01:08:49,479
Speaker 1: gonna be that Peterman. This is not who he is.

1416
01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,240
Speaker 1: He's not gonna, you know, seven step drops sit in

1417
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:54,240
Speaker 1: the pocket wait for somebody to come open. That ball's

1418
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: coming out right with Nathan Peterman, more so than even

1419
01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:59,439
Speaker 1: would with Josh who's got a tremendous arm. The ball

1420
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:02,640
Speaker 1: is coming out out on time with Nathan Peterman. That

1421
01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 1: might be if you're you know, Sean was asked several

1422
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,560
Speaker 1: times yesterday McDermott about the factors that went into the

1423
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,200
Speaker 1: decision to start Nathan Peterman. You know, as you think

1424
01:09:12,200 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 1: about As I think about it today, I'm thinking maybe

1425
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:16,040
Speaker 1: that's the reason number one, because we know the ball

1426
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:18,120
Speaker 1: is coming out on time. He's not going to sit

1427
01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:20,879
Speaker 1: back there and and let our offensive line get exposed

1428
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,400
Speaker 1: or let our offensive line look bad. The ball's coming

1429
01:09:23,439 --> 01:09:26,120
Speaker 1: out with Nathan. Yeah, And I like, I remember how

1430
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 1: optimistic we were after that first preseason game. The ball

1431
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:32,519
Speaker 1: came out crisp. There was there was good cadence in

1432
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,200
Speaker 1: and out of the huddle the ball. The ball was

1433
01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:37,320
Speaker 1: being snapped early in the play clock. They were running

1434
01:09:37,560 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 1: offensive substitutions on and off the field, and they got

1435
01:09:41,080 --> 01:09:45,360
Speaker 1: it done without making any mistakes. That's and I was

1436
01:09:45,439 --> 01:09:48,679
Speaker 1: surprised at how far along they were at that point

1437
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:50,800
Speaker 1: of the preseason. It was really optimistic. And of course

1438
01:09:50,840 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: then they ran into some problems on the first couple

1439
01:09:53,040 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: of three or four series with Cincinnati. When when Cincinnati

1440
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 1: not Cincinnati, Cleveland, when Cleveland was rushing, you know they

1441
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:03,640
Speaker 1: had Yeah, there was a bunch of exotic rushes in

1442
01:10:03,760 --> 01:10:07,640
Speaker 1: that Cleveland game right off, Yeah, Like right off the

1443
01:10:07,840 --> 01:10:10,479
Speaker 1: get go, they were rushing five guys. They were dropping

1444
01:10:10,560 --> 01:10:13,799
Speaker 1: defensive linemen out into coverage and bringing linebackers on x stunts,

1445
01:10:13,800 --> 01:10:16,160
Speaker 1: and they were bringing guys off the the two inside

1446
01:10:16,200 --> 01:10:18,760
Speaker 1: linebackers off the one side of the you know, they

1447
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: were looping all the way around outside the left tackle

1448
01:10:21,160 --> 01:10:24,080
Speaker 1: and dropping guys up. It was exotic, and you know

1449
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,639
Speaker 1: they team just wasn't ready for and didn't certainly didn't

1450
01:10:26,640 --> 01:10:28,639
Speaker 1: have a game plan for it. Yeah, so you're gonna

1451
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,160
Speaker 1: look bad. Plus the fact that Myles garrett Is is

1452
01:10:32,240 --> 01:10:34,720
Speaker 1: a really good pass rusher. He is really gifted. They

1453
01:10:34,800 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 1: do have some players that are talented at Cleveland, and

1454
01:10:38,160 --> 01:10:40,760
Speaker 1: you know, you put that coupled with the fact that

1455
01:10:41,880 --> 01:10:46,559
Speaker 1: Greg Williams wanted to reright you run. It looked good. Uh,

1456
01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:48,720
Speaker 1: you know, and you have a bad game. It's a

1457
01:10:48,880 --> 01:10:51,000
Speaker 1: recipe for disaster. All Right, we're gonna break. We got

1458
01:10:51,040 --> 01:10:52,560
Speaker 1: more to come. We lana here more from you to

1459
01:10:52,960 --> 01:10:55,040

Speaker 1: the players who are in for free agent workouts today

1467
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:15,479

Speaker 1: Bills Live from One Bill's Drive, and this is Buffalo

01:11:17,880 --> 01:11:32,759
Speaker 1: Bills Radio. Welcome back to One Bill's five time verfee

Speaker 1: Steve Casker, coming to you live from our One Buffalo studio.

1472
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:40,800
Speaker 1: beautiful day. Every day is nice. And Ope, I haven't begun.

1473
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,519
Speaker 1: I was going to check Baltimore weather today, but to

1474
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:47,240
Speaker 1: figure I'd wait until Wednesday because it's too early. I'm

1475
01:11:47,280 --> 01:11:51,400
Speaker 1: slowly transitioning out of a preseason into a regular season mode.

1476
01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,599
Speaker 1: I am. But I told you today I was reading,

1477
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,160
Speaker 1: you know, the ESPN had the Bills last ranked team.

1478
01:11:58,400 --> 01:12:01,519
Speaker 1: Had the caller earlier about power rankings are thirty first,

1479
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:03,400
Speaker 1: and that kind of wears you down. And then I

1480
01:12:03,720 --> 01:12:05,840
Speaker 1: said to you, by Friday, I'll be like, we're going

1481
01:12:05,880 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 1: to because that's the way. That's the way I approach

1482
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:13,240
Speaker 1: these things. Yeah, I'm the same way. I mean, I'm I'm,

1483
01:12:13,479 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 1: you know, polly positive when it comes to that kind

1484
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:17,639
Speaker 1: of stuff. And I got more positive as the week

1485
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,479
Speaker 1: rows along. Yeah, I'm I'm a little bit like the

1486
01:12:21,560 --> 01:12:24,479
Speaker 1: player I used to be, and that after the game

1487
01:12:24,640 --> 01:12:27,360
Speaker 1: is over, I tend not to fret over the bad

1488
01:12:27,400 --> 01:12:30,160
Speaker 1: stuff that happened because I know that, you know, you

1489
01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:32,800
Speaker 1: got another game, and as a player, you're always thinking, Okay,

1490
01:12:32,960 --> 01:12:34,960
Speaker 1: I get that, I know what happened to us there,

1491
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,160
Speaker 1: and I know why it happened. We're gonna get better

1492
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,200
Speaker 1: because of it. So here we go, We're gonna you know,

1493
01:12:40,240 --> 01:12:41,960
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let that happen to us again. We're

1494
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,519
Speaker 1: gonna get better, that kind of thing. So you start

1495
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:45,559
Speaker 1: thinking about the next one and you think more positive

1496
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:47,680
Speaker 1: because of all the things you learned about the bad

1497
01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 1: things that happened to you. So I'm I always project

1498
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:55,200
Speaker 1: that onto the team and know that the players in

1499
01:12:55,280 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 1: the locker room believe they're gonna be good and they're

1500
01:12:57,280 --> 01:12:59,680
Speaker 1: gonna play well and they're gonna win. I think the

1501
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:03,439
Speaker 1: bill roster is for the most part set. But reports

1502
01:13:03,439 --> 01:13:07,479
Speaker 1: about three visitors today free agents, three name visitors. Really,

1503
01:13:07,479 --> 01:13:11,280
Speaker 1: you got to say Paxton Lynch, Bschard, Perriman, and Nate

1504
01:13:11,400 --> 01:13:15,200
Speaker 1: Orchard the quarterback Packiston Lynch, former first rounder right released

1505
01:13:15,200 --> 01:13:17,280
Speaker 1: by Denver over the weekend Chad Kelly beat him out

1506
01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:20,080
Speaker 1: for a roster spot, reportedly in here today for a workout.

1507
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:22,840
Speaker 1: The Bills don't really confirm workouts like that, and we

1508
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:25,559
Speaker 1: won't know anything until they or if they sign one

1509
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 1: of these. I don't know what Paxton Lynch. Look, they

1510
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:32,000
Speaker 1: only have two quarterbacks on the roster. Paston Lynch is

1511
01:13:32,080 --> 01:13:35,320
Speaker 1: not a you know, a veteran. Really, he's in his

1512
01:13:35,439 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 1: what third year in the league. I don't know what

1513
01:13:38,320 --> 01:13:40,120
Speaker 1: he could bring him, but they're taking a look. See you,

1514
01:13:40,120 --> 01:13:43,760
Speaker 1: I guess you give him credit for exhausting every past possibility. Huh. Well,

1515
01:13:44,080 --> 01:13:47,080
Speaker 1: Paxston Lynch is a you know, he's six seven, two

1516
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:52,120
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pounds. And if there's one guy who

1517
01:13:54,680 --> 01:13:59,479
Speaker 1: maybe makes John Elway look like he's not he doesn't

1518
01:13:59,520 --> 01:14:02,400
Speaker 1: know what he's doing, his Packson Lynch because John always

1519
01:14:02,439 --> 01:14:04,840
Speaker 1: the guy who picked him, traded him away, remember, and

1520
01:14:04,960 --> 01:14:07,160
Speaker 1: then got him back in another trade the next year.

1521
01:14:07,320 --> 01:14:11,160
Speaker 1: Paxson Lynch the guy who cannot find his way. And

1522
01:14:12,680 --> 01:14:15,040
Speaker 1: you know, I just I don't I don't really buy it.

1523
01:14:15,120 --> 01:14:18,120
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are doing their due diligence. I

1524
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:23,040
Speaker 1: don't really anticipate him being signed. It would take. There's

1525
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:25,200
Speaker 1: no way he can get acclimated enough to contribute. I

1526
01:14:25,240 --> 01:14:27,439
Speaker 1: think he's just building a file on him now. The

1527
01:14:27,520 --> 01:14:30,280
Speaker 1: other two guys, Nate Orchard, Yeah, maybe I could see that.

1528
01:14:30,520 --> 01:14:32,679
Speaker 1: I like Nate Orchard. Watched him at He's the second

1529
01:14:32,760 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 1: round pick of the Browns a few years ago. He

1530
01:14:35,439 --> 01:14:37,439
Speaker 1: caught my attention to the Senior Bowl. The year he

1531
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:39,720
Speaker 1: came out. I've always I've always thought he was good.

1532
01:14:39,800 --> 01:14:43,559
Speaker 1: Now he's a he's a type. He's a long armed,

1533
01:14:43,600 --> 01:14:46,360
Speaker 1: long leg type of guy, defensive man who could be

1534
01:14:46,400 --> 01:14:48,719
Speaker 1: an edge guy. And I thought he had some pretty

1535
01:14:48,720 --> 01:14:50,439
Speaker 1: good moments against the Bills a couple of weeks ago

1536
01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,840
Speaker 1: in preseason. As a matter of fact, he could be

1537
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:55,120
Speaker 1: a good edge guy. Where does he fit into the

1538
01:14:55,160 --> 01:14:57,479
Speaker 1: bills roster plans? I don't know. I mean, I don't

1539
01:14:57,520 --> 01:15:00,120
Speaker 1: think there's anybody right now that you'd be looking to

1540
01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:04,080
Speaker 1: replace at that position anyway. I know they like Eddie Yarbrough.

1541
01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:07,400
Speaker 1: I think they want to keep Shack Lawson around, but

1542
01:15:07,560 --> 01:15:09,240
Speaker 1: I do think he's worth looking at them the three,

1543
01:15:09,280 --> 01:15:11,040
Speaker 1: he'd be the one that I think they might wind

1544
01:15:11,160 --> 01:15:14,599
Speaker 1: up being most interested. Even more so. See Breshad Perriman

1545
01:15:14,800 --> 01:15:16,240
Speaker 1: is the other guy that they're going to bring in.

1546
01:15:16,280 --> 01:15:18,400
Speaker 1: He's a wide receiver and given the Bills, you know,

1547
01:15:19,520 --> 01:15:22,120
Speaker 1: lack of proven guys at that spot, and you think

1548
01:15:22,160 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 1: Breshad Perriman might be a guy that they'd sign and

1549
01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,840
Speaker 1: has he proven though thirty three catches two years ago,

1550
01:15:28,960 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 1: three touchdowns and then eleven ten catches and eleven games

1551
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:35,960
Speaker 1: last year, former first rounder. The Ravens needed wide receivers too,

1552
01:15:36,360 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 1: and they went out and signed three of them in

1553
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,200
Speaker 1: free agency this year. That's what they thought of Brashad.

1554
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,360
Speaker 1: They sat him down last year. He only had ten

1555
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 1: receptions and he didn't get a lot of opper opportunity.

1556
01:15:45,680 --> 01:15:48,000
Speaker 1: It'll be it would be interesting to see why that

1557
01:15:48,240 --> 01:15:51,760
Speaker 1: happened and what was happening in Baltimore is the reason

1558
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:55,400
Speaker 1: why he wasn't more successful. So we'll keep an eye

1559
01:15:55,439 --> 01:15:57,040
Speaker 1: on this. If there are moves, we'll let you know

1560
01:15:57,080 --> 01:16:00,320
Speaker 1: as soon as we know. Um we anticipate that. This

1561
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,719
Speaker 1: week we're gonna get Brandon Bean, the Bills general manager,

1562
01:16:02,800 --> 01:16:05,759
Speaker 1: on the show, and he'll if we have any developments

1563
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:07,519
Speaker 1: along that front, we'll talk with him about that. But

1564
01:16:07,640 --> 01:16:12,560
Speaker 1: the reports are those three Rashon Perrimanum Paxton, Lynch and

1565
01:16:13,560 --> 01:16:16,040
Speaker 1: Nate Orchard. Those three in four visits and workouts with

1566
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:19,200
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills today. Perriman at least worked out for

1567
01:16:19,240 --> 01:16:20,960
Speaker 1: the Jets as well, and I think Paxton Lynch worked

1568
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,240
Speaker 1: out for somebody else too. Yeah. I don't know that

1569
01:16:23,320 --> 01:16:25,960
Speaker 1: we're the first people Paxton Lynch worked out for, but yeah.

1570
01:16:26,680 --> 01:16:30,519
Speaker 1: Our Twitter pull today deals with Nathan Peterman. How many

1571
01:16:30,600 --> 01:16:32,400
Speaker 1: games will they start? What do you think? Give us

1572
01:16:32,400 --> 01:16:34,599
Speaker 1: a call eight oh three, five fifty and toll free

1573
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,960
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight by fifty two five fifty. John

1574
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,439
Speaker 1: on the line from Tanawana. Hi, John, go ahead, Yeah, Murth,

1575
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:45,040
Speaker 1: thanks for having me on. Sure if you're remember back

1576
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:48,120
Speaker 1: in me when you had Donald Jones with you, I

1577
01:16:48,280 --> 01:16:50,679
Speaker 1: told you that I thought Peterman would be the starter.

1578
01:16:50,920 --> 01:16:52,479
Speaker 1: I've taken a lot of heat in the last six

1579
01:16:52,520 --> 01:16:56,320
Speaker 1: months from my friends and so associates, and uh, what

1580
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:59,439
Speaker 1: I think is uh for that for saying that name.

1581
01:16:59,479 --> 01:17:02,000
Speaker 1: It had five interception so that Peterman we went on

1582
01:17:02,080 --> 01:17:05,479
Speaker 1: and talked about that. So my prediction with your question

1583
01:17:05,560 --> 01:17:10,000
Speaker 1: today is I believe Nate Peterson Peterman will be the

1584
01:17:10,120 --> 01:17:13,040
Speaker 1: starter for all sixteen games, and I believe he's going

1585
01:17:13,080 --> 01:17:16,040
Speaker 1: to develop into a franchise quarterback. Why do you say that?

1586
01:17:16,120 --> 01:17:18,920
Speaker 1: What do you see? I see that he's worked very hard,

1587
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: he's diligent. The coach last year showed, without a doubt

1588
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:25,080
Speaker 1: he was for Peterman. He wanted Peterman all out, I think,

1589
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:27,880
Speaker 1: and I think he showed it this year that he

1590
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:29,800
Speaker 1: was in Peterman's corner, and I think he's on it

1591
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:33,160
Speaker 1: even from his work ethic. All right, Yeah, it's a

1592
01:17:33,240 --> 01:17:36,439
Speaker 1: big statement, John, Yeah, it's a big statement. And I

1593
01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 1: get it though, and I was with you. I could

1594
01:17:38,320 --> 01:17:41,759
Speaker 1: see that this coaching staff warmed up to Nathan Peterman

1595
01:17:41,840 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: last year in the preseason. They gave him that shot

1596
01:17:43,800 --> 01:17:45,639
Speaker 1: and it did not go well. They'd put him back

1597
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:47,880
Speaker 1: on the bench and they let him incubate. But they

1598
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:49,800
Speaker 1: knew what they had. They knew the kind of person

1599
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: he was. And when you get a guy like Nathan Peterman,

1600
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,439
Speaker 1: you know one thing. He's always going to try and

1601
01:17:54,560 --> 01:17:56,880
Speaker 1: get better. He's always gonna work harder to get better.

1602
01:17:56,960 --> 01:17:58,840
Speaker 1: He's gonna do what it takes. And I think one

1603
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,439
Speaker 1: of the things that gets lost in some players don't

1604
01:18:01,479 --> 01:18:03,240
Speaker 1: have the ability to look at themselves and say I

1605
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:06,160
Speaker 1: need to get better at A and B and C

1606
01:18:06,400 --> 01:18:08,640
Speaker 1: and d the great ones can look at themselves and

1607
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:11,320
Speaker 1: see their own flaws and they work hard to correct him.

1608
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:12,880
Speaker 1: I think that's the kind of guy Nate Peterman is,

1609
01:18:12,920 --> 01:18:14,840
Speaker 1: and I think that's why the coaching staff has warmed

1610
01:18:14,880 --> 01:18:18,599
Speaker 1: to him. And let's face and I said this yesterday,

1611
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:23,120
Speaker 1: how hard do you think it was for Nathan Peterman

1612
01:18:23,160 --> 01:18:27,600
Speaker 1: to win back the respect and admiration and the responsibility

1613
01:18:27,640 --> 01:18:30,559
Speaker 1: and the opportunity to get back on the field after

1614
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:32,600
Speaker 1: what happened to him in his first start. And he

1615
01:18:32,720 --> 01:18:34,760
Speaker 1: did it. He did it. I think it says a

1616
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 1: lot about him. Thanks for your call. From the tweet

1617
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,880
Speaker 1: sheet from Tiffany Daniels, we asked the question how many

1618
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:43,000
Speaker 1: games will Nathan Peterman start in twenty eighteen, She responds,

1619
01:18:43,040 --> 01:18:44,880
Speaker 1: it depends on how the team looks after the Monday

1620
01:18:44,960 --> 01:18:47,720
Speaker 1: night game, which is mid season. If they're in the

1621
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 1: hunt and Nate is playing silent football, he gets the season.

1622
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 1: Hopefully that's the case. I think we're going to sneak

1623
01:18:52,720 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 1: up on the league this year. The organization as a plan,

1624
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:58,120
Speaker 1: and we should trust the process. Somebody about trademark that

1625
01:18:58,200 --> 01:19:02,759
Speaker 1: trust the process. Process, Trust the process. And from Wandering

1626
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,920
Speaker 1: Jack when in answer to the question how many games

1627
01:19:04,960 --> 01:19:07,400
Speaker 1: will Peterman start this year? He tweets in it really

1628
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,680
Speaker 1: depends on how it goes early. If he keeps them

1629
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: at or near five hundred, he will continue to play

1630
01:19:13,320 --> 01:19:17,240
Speaker 1: until they are eliminated. If the team flounders and starts

1631
01:19:17,600 --> 01:19:19,400
Speaker 1: one and four, the coaches will be forced to make

1632
01:19:19,400 --> 01:19:22,560
Speaker 1: a change. My guess is Peterman is solid but unspectacular,

1633
01:19:22,600 --> 01:19:24,880
Speaker 1: and plays through the Pats game. That's mid season. Again,

1634
01:19:24,960 --> 01:19:28,040
Speaker 1: as Tiffany Daniel, I believe that's week nine. It's after

1635
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: a buy or before the buy one, two, three, four

1636
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,240
Speaker 1: or five six, that is week eight. Week ate, Yep, yep,

1637
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,840
Speaker 1: that's and that's that's all. This is conjecture, But you

1638
01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 1: know you can. It's easy to jump through those mental

1639
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,720
Speaker 1: hoops and put yourself in a spot where you can

1640
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:43,320
Speaker 1: see all this stuff happening just the way you envision it.

1641
01:19:43,439 --> 01:19:47,799
Speaker 1: And I don't think Nate Peterman is going to embarrass

1642
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,320
Speaker 1: himself at all. I think he'll have quit himself very well.

1643
01:19:50,560 --> 01:19:53,439
Speaker 1: I do think I see, like everybody else, he's limited physically.

1644
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,719
Speaker 1: You know, he doesn't have Josh Allen arm, he doesn't

1645
01:19:55,760 --> 01:19:59,880
Speaker 1: have Aaron Rodgers arm. And let's face it, the often

1646
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:01,640
Speaker 1: of line is going to force them to get rid

1647
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: of the ball quickly. They're gonna be limited and it's

1648
01:20:03,520 --> 01:20:05,880
Speaker 1: gonna be a question also if they're better, If the

1649
01:20:05,960 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 1: offensive line is better in the run game with Lashawn

1650
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,559
Speaker 1: McCoy behind them, that's gonna make it easier on Nate

1651
01:20:11,640 --> 01:20:15,360
Speaker 1: Peterman to be successful throwing it, because defenses will obviously

1652
01:20:15,439 --> 01:20:18,080
Speaker 1: have to play them differently knowing they can run the football.

1653
01:20:18,120 --> 01:20:21,879
Speaker 1: So all this stuff remains to be seen. Kelvin Benjamin

1654
01:20:21,960 --> 01:20:23,720
Speaker 1: is They're still their go to guy. He's the only

1655
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:26,000
Speaker 1: guy the Bills have who you can kind of make

1656
01:20:26,040 --> 01:20:29,479
Speaker 1: the case for he's open even if he's not open,

1657
01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,160
Speaker 1: because he's that type of receiver. He's big, he can

1658
01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,559
Speaker 1: body guys off the ball, and Nate Peterman can put

1659
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:38,160
Speaker 1: it in a spot where only Benjamin can catch, and

1660
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:40,040
Speaker 1: he can do it easier than he can with a

1661
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:45,280
Speaker 1: guy that's five ten instead of six five. So Benjamin

1662
01:20:45,479 --> 01:20:47,360
Speaker 1: is the right kind of receiver for a guy like

1663
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:51,160
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman to throw too. You don't need a four

1664
01:20:51,240 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: two speed demon with Nate Peterman because he's gonna outrun

1665
01:20:54,479 --> 01:20:59,240
Speaker 1: his arm. So if you've got a good scheme, if

1666
01:20:59,280 --> 01:21:02,240
Speaker 1: they're running game, and can work well. Nathan Peterman is

1667
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:04,880
Speaker 1: going to be all the quarterback this team needs to

1668
01:21:04,960 --> 01:21:07,080
Speaker 1: win games, but all those things have to be in place,

1669
01:21:07,280 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: and that says nothing about the other side of the

1670
01:21:09,040 --> 01:21:11,600
Speaker 1: ball in defense. This is an interesting Twitter response to

1671
01:21:11,680 --> 01:21:13,840
Speaker 1: our question how many games will Peterman start this year?

1672
01:21:14,200 --> 01:21:17,800
Speaker 1: From Mets? From Bills and Mets Fan. Peterman has a

1673
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:19,800
Speaker 1: great attitude, but he just does not have the talent

1674
01:21:19,840 --> 01:21:22,040
Speaker 1: to match. He writes, before too long, It's going to

1675
01:21:22,080 --> 01:21:25,280
Speaker 1: be Josh's team to run anything after Game four is

1676
01:21:25,520 --> 01:21:28,400
Speaker 1: a bonus with Nathan Peterman. I gotta think about that.

1677
01:21:28,479 --> 01:21:30,160
Speaker 1: I don't know about that, but it leads me to

1678
01:21:30,240 --> 01:21:32,439
Speaker 1: this question, Steve, for you and for us to bounce around.

1679
01:21:32,840 --> 01:21:35,599
Speaker 1: So Sean McDermott has a plan, had a plan all

1680
01:21:35,640 --> 01:21:38,120
Speaker 1: preseason for quarterbacks and who to play and how to

1681
01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:40,640
Speaker 1: play him, and wound up with Peterman as his I

1682
01:21:40,680 --> 01:21:42,759
Speaker 1: guess logical choice to be the start of the Sunday

1683
01:21:43,080 --> 01:21:47,200
Speaker 1: Does Sean mcdermot's plan for quarterbacks extend into the regular season?

1684
01:21:47,240 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 1: In other words, and Bill's Mets Fan got me thinking

1685
01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 1: about this. Did the Bills does McDermott does being does

1686
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:55,160
Speaker 1: a dable? Do they have a number of games in

1687
01:21:55,240 --> 01:21:57,920
Speaker 1: mind when they say, Okay, now we're ready to make

1688
01:21:57,960 --> 01:22:00,080
Speaker 1: the transition. I don't know about that. I don't know

1689
01:22:00,160 --> 01:22:03,240
Speaker 1: that they do. I think the plan is flexible enough

1690
01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,760
Speaker 1: to adapt that. If Peterman's going well, the team's going well,

1691
01:22:06,800 --> 01:22:09,240
Speaker 1: we're staying there, or if it's not going well, we'll

1692
01:22:09,280 --> 01:22:12,320
Speaker 1: make the switch to three games. I just my question

1693
01:22:12,400 --> 01:22:14,320
Speaker 1: for you is just as a discussion point. I don't

1694
01:22:14,360 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: need a definitive answer here, But do you think the

1695
01:22:16,520 --> 01:22:18,599
Speaker 1: quarterback plan that's been in place here for the last

1696
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:21,240
Speaker 1: several months extends into the regular season. Do they have

1697
01:22:21,280 --> 01:22:24,000
Speaker 1: a number of games in mind that they want Peterman

1698
01:22:24,040 --> 01:22:28,880
Speaker 1: to start before they even consider Josh Owen. No, no, no,

1699
01:22:29,080 --> 01:22:31,720
Speaker 1: they don't have a plan like that. What's the plan.

1700
01:22:31,920 --> 01:22:33,760
Speaker 1: The plan is to play the guy that gives them

1701
01:22:33,760 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 1: the best chance to win until it makes sense not to. Okay,

1702
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: I believe Peter Peterman is going to play even if

1703
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:42,360
Speaker 1: they're oh and four. If Peterman's throwing for respectable yards,

1704
01:22:42,400 --> 01:22:44,160
Speaker 1: he's not turning it over, He's doing everything they need

1705
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:47,240
Speaker 1: him to do. They're not gonna take him out unless

1706
01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:49,400
Speaker 1: he deserves to be benched. I mean this is they

1707
01:22:49,520 --> 01:22:51,800
Speaker 1: didn't take Tyrod Taylor out of the game last year

1708
01:22:51,880 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 1: until he threw for fifty six yards in a game.

1709
01:22:54,400 --> 01:22:56,400
Speaker 1: I mean, that's they're gonna play the guy that gives

1710
01:22:56,439 --> 01:22:58,120
Speaker 1: them the best chance to win until it makes sense

1711
01:22:58,240 --> 01:23:01,400
Speaker 1: not to. And if that comes Josh Allen and Nate

1712
01:23:01,439 --> 01:23:06,880
Speaker 1: Peterman is has played, well, why would they take that

1713
01:23:07,040 --> 01:23:09,320
Speaker 1: guy out? I mean, unless Nate Peterman is the guy

1714
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,479
Speaker 1: that consistently is the reason they're getting beat, He's not

1715
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:14,960
Speaker 1: coming out. He's not coming out. And I was I

1716
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 1: was reminded too when we were talking about, uh, Packison

1717
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,360
Speaker 1: Lynch the quarterback I was saying that got traded to

1718
01:23:21,560 --> 01:23:25,040
Speaker 1: and from and Alway brought was brock Osweiler, and somebody correct,

1719
01:23:25,120 --> 01:23:27,640
Speaker 1: may I appreciate it, it was brock Oswyler. I did

1720
01:23:27,720 --> 01:23:31,360
Speaker 1: read an article though that somebody said Packison Lynch was

1721
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:37,760
Speaker 1: the was the Bellweather as to whether John Elway knew

1722
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: what he was doing with quarterbacks after all, because he,

1723
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:41,560
Speaker 1: you know, because of Chad Kelly and all of that.

1724
01:23:41,680 --> 01:23:44,439
Speaker 1: So it depends on who you read. But uh, yeah,

1725
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:47,360
Speaker 1: I got that wrong between brock Osweiler and Packison Lynch.

1726
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:52,880
Speaker 1: But that's you talk about these quarterbacks. You and Sean

1727
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:54,680
Speaker 1: McDermott said it in the lead up when they were

1728
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:56,479
Speaker 1: still trying to decide who their starter was going to be,

1729
01:23:56,560 --> 01:23:58,680
Speaker 1: when AJ McCarron was here, and when Josh Allen was

1730
01:23:58,680 --> 01:23:59,880
Speaker 1: in the mix, he said, listen, we all know what

1731
01:23:59,920 --> 01:24:02,080
Speaker 1: it looks like, we all know what it feels like.

1732
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:04,639
Speaker 1: If the quarterback is not the reason you're getting beat,

1733
01:24:04,680 --> 01:24:08,320
Speaker 1: you don't change that guy out until the circumstances changed

1734
01:24:08,360 --> 01:24:10,960
Speaker 1: to such a degree that it makes it impossible to

1735
01:24:11,120 --> 01:24:14,160
Speaker 1: keep him in. And let's face it, Josh Allens and

1736
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 1: his draft position and his physical abilities are a big

1737
01:24:17,360 --> 01:24:20,000
Speaker 1: factor in that decision. All right, Hey, before we go

1738
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:23,559
Speaker 1: to break, time to recognize the AD Pro Sports High

Speaker 1: In Section five, Steve and I back with Moore. One

1763
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:33,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Live presented by Kalata Hell from One Bill's Drive.

1764
01:25:33,320 --> 01:25:49,120
Speaker 1: This is Buffalo Bill's Radio. Arks you very question for you,

1765
01:25:49,400 --> 01:25:51,479
Speaker 1: Let's hear it. I wrote a piece. I think it's

1766
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:53,640
Speaker 1: up on the website now top storylines. It's sort of

1767
01:25:53,680 --> 01:25:56,680
Speaker 1: a preview of the week. What's coming up this week

1768
01:25:56,720 --> 01:25:58,200
Speaker 1: what to look at, and I went to Nathan peterm

1769
01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,360
Speaker 1: is going to join this a minute or two. Obviously

1770
01:26:00,439 --> 01:26:03,800
Speaker 1: that's number one storyline Joe Flacco. But I want to

1771
01:26:03,800 --> 01:26:06,840
Speaker 1: ask you about Shady. We never think about Lashawn McCoy, right.

1772
01:26:07,080 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: He played thirteen snaps in preseason, which is why we

1773
01:26:10,720 --> 01:26:13,320
Speaker 1: don't think about it much. Played as it sounds like

1774
01:26:13,360 --> 01:26:16,240
Speaker 1: a lot to me too much. Here's the question, sound

1775
01:26:16,280 --> 01:26:17,800
Speaker 1: like I didn't think I think he was in there

1776
01:26:17,840 --> 01:26:20,600
Speaker 1: for thirteen snaps, age thirty. We know that he is

1777
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:23,519
Speaker 1: one thousand, nine hundred eight yards away from twelve thousand

1778
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:27,880
Speaker 1: career rushing yards. Thirteen of sixteen running backs in Pro

1779
01:26:28,000 --> 01:26:30,599
Speaker 1: football history of the sixth let me put it this way.

1780
01:26:30,600 --> 01:26:32,599
Speaker 1: If the sixteen running backs in pro football history, you'll

1781
01:26:32,600 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 1: get to twelve thousand or more yards. Thirteen of them

1782
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: are in the Pro Football of Fame. We know that's

1783
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 1: big for McCoy. He's talked about that a little bit.

1784
01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: By the way, some of the other thirteen they're still active.

1785
01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,040
Speaker 1: But here's the question. Is he gonna make it nineteen

1786
01:26:44,160 --> 01:26:46,720
Speaker 1: hundred eight yards away from twelve thousand yards. He's thirty

1787
01:26:46,800 --> 01:26:49,639
Speaker 1: years old. He got like eleven hundred yards Shady didn't

1788
01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,920
Speaker 1: last year, and about a thousand yards a year before that.

1789
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,519
Speaker 1: So he's averaging over the last three years, averaging just

1790
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:58,439
Speaker 1: under a thousand yards per season. Nineteen hundred eight yards

1791
01:26:58,479 --> 01:27:01,320
Speaker 1: away thirty years old, he would need to play two

1792
01:27:01,479 --> 01:27:03,679
Speaker 1: or three Do you think he'll make twelve thousand yards?

1793
01:27:03,720 --> 01:27:05,960
Speaker 1: What do you think? I do you do? I do

1794
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,200
Speaker 1: think he'll make it. It's gonna be clouds though, right, Yeah,

1795
01:27:08,320 --> 01:27:10,120
Speaker 1: it'll be close. I mean it's gonna be one of

1796
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:12,400
Speaker 1: those he's gonna make. He's gonna get twelve thousand and

1797
01:27:12,520 --> 01:27:17,120
Speaker 1: one yard. I do think he will. I think he's

1798
01:27:17,160 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: in the right spot to do it. Yeah, he's at

1799
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:22,160
Speaker 1: a place where he's still their best offensive player, most

1800
01:27:22,240 --> 01:27:24,920
Speaker 1: reliable guy. He's still gonna get to touch the ball

1801
01:27:25,000 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 1: twenty to twenty five times a game. And I think

1802
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:31,960
Speaker 1: he is gonna get enough touches and he you know,

1803
01:27:32,040 --> 01:27:33,960
Speaker 1: the thing about him is and the thing that makes him,

1804
01:27:35,640 --> 01:27:38,200
Speaker 1: the thing that overwriting factor that makes me say yes

1805
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:40,320
Speaker 1: to the fact that he's gonna get enough touches to

1806
01:27:40,360 --> 01:27:43,760
Speaker 1: get twelve thousand, is that his ability to dodge the

1807
01:27:43,800 --> 01:27:46,080
Speaker 1: big hit. Yeah. I don't want to be you know

1808
01:27:46,160 --> 01:27:48,880
Speaker 1: knock on Wood. I mean, the guy just doesn't seem

1809
01:27:48,920 --> 01:27:53,160
Speaker 1: to ever get hit hard. He's got such vision, such balance,

1810
01:27:53,320 --> 01:27:56,920
Speaker 1: and he does avoid hits. And he's not those guys,

1811
01:27:57,000 --> 01:27:59,120
Speaker 1: one of those macho guys is gonna take on guy

1812
01:27:59,160 --> 01:28:02,479
Speaker 1: he goes down on when he's himmed in. He We've

1813
01:28:02,479 --> 01:28:05,479
Speaker 1: all seen it. He ducks down, kind of lunges forward,

1814
01:28:05,520 --> 01:28:07,360
Speaker 1: gets that last little bit and then tucks up and

1815
01:28:07,600 --> 01:28:11,040
Speaker 1: you know, gets touched for the tackle. He has the

1816
01:28:11,120 --> 01:28:15,600
Speaker 1: ability to stay available as a running back, and that,

1817
01:28:15,800 --> 01:28:18,639
Speaker 1: to me, has been his best attribute as a Buffalo Bill,

1818
01:28:18,840 --> 01:28:22,360
Speaker 1: let alone the fact that he's he's the real deal

1819
01:28:22,400 --> 01:28:23,920
Speaker 1: when he's got the ball in his head. Going into

1820
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:27,400
Speaker 1: his fourth season with the Bills. The first three were good.

1821
01:28:28,200 --> 01:28:31,719
Speaker 1: Eight hundred ninety five yards in twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen,

1822
01:28:31,720 --> 01:28:35,200
Speaker 1: I misspoke, twelve hundred yards rushing. Last year, eleven hundred

1823
01:28:35,280 --> 01:28:38,840
Speaker 1: yards rushing. So he's averaging, oh, he's averaging about eleven

1824
01:28:38,960 --> 01:28:41,599
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty yards per season over the last two

1825
01:28:41,720 --> 01:28:44,479
Speaker 1: years with the Bills. He needs nineteen hundred yards to

1826
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,880
Speaker 1: get to twelve thousand yards. Gotta stay healthy, but you

1827
01:28:47,960 --> 01:28:50,400
Speaker 1: know what he has. He missed one game two years ago.

1828
01:28:50,520 --> 01:28:54,799
Speaker 1: He missed six games in two fifteen. I mean, something's

1829
01:28:54,800 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: gonna have to Look. What we're looking for is more

1830
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:58,680
Speaker 1: of the same for McCoy, both the bills from the

1831
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:01,400
Speaker 1: standpoint of production to start winning games and for his

1832
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:04,760
Speaker 1: own personal goals, right, twelve thousand yards, more of the same.

1833
01:29:04,960 --> 01:29:07,080
Speaker 1: Just do another year like he did last year, Maybe

1834
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:08,560
Speaker 1: get a year and a half, two years like he

1835
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:10,720
Speaker 1: has had the last couple of years. Absolutely that can

1836
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:13,000
Speaker 1: be done. Thing as possible. I think he, Like I said,

1837
01:29:13,080 --> 01:29:16,840
Speaker 1: the fact is it's his availability that's going to be

1838
01:29:16,920 --> 01:29:19,840
Speaker 1: the difference. If he's available, they're going to give him

1839
01:29:19,840 --> 01:29:22,559
Speaker 1: the football enough to get there, and that's that's going

1840
01:29:22,600 --> 01:29:25,360
Speaker 1: to be the big question mark. And as of now,

1841
01:29:25,439 --> 01:29:27,120
Speaker 1: there's no reason to think he's not going to get there.

1842
01:29:27,360 --> 01:29:29,559
Speaker 1: And I know it seems like a thirty years old.

1843
01:29:29,680 --> 01:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Two years seems like a long way out, but you know,

1844
01:29:34,479 --> 01:29:36,479
Speaker 1: he's been lucky here and I think he's with the

1845
01:29:36,560 --> 01:29:39,000
Speaker 1: right coaching staff now because every year they give him

1846
01:29:39,040 --> 01:29:41,599
Speaker 1: a new fresh body behind him. To this year, it's

1847
01:29:41,640 --> 01:29:44,680
Speaker 1: Chris Ivory and Marcus Murphy last and two years ago

1848
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,000
Speaker 1: it was gillis Lee. Before that was Carlos Williams. And

1849
01:29:48,560 --> 01:29:53,719
Speaker 1: you know last year, who was the cadet traverse cadet

1850
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: last year. I mean, he's always had guys to share

1851
01:29:56,000 --> 01:29:57,920
Speaker 1: the load, but he's been the guy that carries it

1852
01:29:58,000 --> 01:30:00,040
Speaker 1: the most. And that's what you want to do. And

1853
01:30:01,080 --> 01:30:03,920
Speaker 1: I think he's in the exact right spot he needs

1854
01:30:03,960 --> 01:30:08,519
Speaker 1: to be at this point in time to spending another

1855
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:10,800
Speaker 1: couple of years on this roster carrying the football and

1856
01:30:10,880 --> 01:30:13,960
Speaker 1: getting getting another two thousand plus yards. Talk about that.

1857
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 1: We talk about it. I talked about it. I wrote

1858
01:30:15,680 --> 01:30:18,200
Speaker 1: about it on our website, Buffalo bills dot com. Top

1859
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,880
Speaker 1: storylines for the Bills opener at Baltimore. It is up

1860
01:30:20,960 --> 01:30:23,000
Speaker 1: right now. Let's squeeze in a quick call here, guys,

1861
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,120
Speaker 1: been waiting for a half hour. Sean on the line

1862
01:30:25,160 --> 01:30:27,599
Speaker 1: from Dallas, Texas. Hi, Sean, Welcome to the show. How

1863
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:31,960
Speaker 1: are you hey, guys, Thanks for taking my call. Steve.

1864
01:30:32,439 --> 01:30:35,360
Speaker 1: I met you in nineteen ninety seven at training camp.

1865
01:30:36,439 --> 01:30:39,160
Speaker 1: It was after you practice. You were one of the

1866
01:30:39,280 --> 01:30:41,719
Speaker 1: nicest guys. You took a picture with me and my friend.

1867
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:45,200
Speaker 1: I never did get to share that with the best

1868
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:48,160
Speaker 1: training camp memory was meeting you in person. You took

1869
01:30:48,240 --> 01:30:53,120
Speaker 1: time to take photo happening to you. I wanted to

1870
01:30:53,160 --> 01:30:56,720
Speaker 1: ask you about when the how much fly did you

1871
01:30:56,880 --> 01:31:02,600
Speaker 1: have in being a special team ace, what point of

1872
01:31:02,640 --> 01:31:06,200
Speaker 1: your career you know that that was your fame. And

1873
01:31:07,160 --> 01:31:09,559
Speaker 1: question was about the putter. No one's mentioned the putter

1874
01:31:09,680 --> 01:31:12,040
Speaker 1: that we signed. What do we know about this guy?

1875
01:31:13,520 --> 01:31:16,920
Speaker 1: Corey but Horkez Yeah, signed to the rosters Sunday. He

1876
01:31:17,040 --> 01:31:20,000
Speaker 1: spent the training camp with the Patriots, an undrafted rookie

1877
01:31:20,080 --> 01:31:23,000
Speaker 1: with the Patriots. Didn't kick in preseason. It's pretty obvious

1878
01:31:23,040 --> 01:31:25,559
Speaker 1: the Patriots did not want him to be noticed by

1879
01:31:25,600 --> 01:31:27,920
Speaker 1: anybody else. I haven't seen him yet. I hope to

1880
01:31:27,960 --> 01:31:29,760
Speaker 1: see him a little bit of practice as the week

1881
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,439
Speaker 1: moves along. They must feel pretty good about Stephen. We

1882
01:31:32,520 --> 01:31:35,800
Speaker 1: talked yesterday about how he replaced Colton Schmidt on the roster.

1883
01:31:36,200 --> 01:31:38,160
Speaker 1: Best the best I want to get your take on this.

1884
01:31:38,280 --> 01:31:39,920
Speaker 1: The best I can guess is that they were looking

1885
01:31:39,960 --> 01:31:42,720
Speaker 1: for consistency from the punting spot that maybe they didn't

1886
01:31:42,720 --> 01:31:45,000
Speaker 1: feel like they were getting from Colton Schmidt. Yeah, and

1887
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 1: by Orkez is a guy whose reputation has him as

1888
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,960
Speaker 1: a very big leg. He kicks it a long way.

1889
01:31:53,160 --> 01:31:55,360
Speaker 1: The thought is that the Patriots were trying to hide

1890
01:31:55,439 --> 01:31:57,840
Speaker 1: him on their practice squad because they've got a punter

1891
01:31:57,960 --> 01:32:00,000
Speaker 1: who's coming into a contract year now and they don't

1892
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:01,960
Speaker 1: they want to overpay him, and they want to have

1893
01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:04,200
Speaker 1: a guy on the on the burner, on the back

1894
01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:07,240
Speaker 1: burner who they can bring in next year after the

1895
01:32:07,320 --> 01:32:10,880
Speaker 1: punters finished for them and uh not pay him a lot.

1896
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:15,240
Speaker 1: And he's been acclimated for a year and uh they liked,

1897
01:32:15,439 --> 01:32:17,480
Speaker 1: you know, the strength of his leg and his consistency.

1898
01:32:17,600 --> 01:32:20,760
Speaker 1: So that alone told the Buffalo Bills that that may

1899
01:32:20,800 --> 01:32:22,400
Speaker 1: be a guy we want to look at, and certainly

1900
01:32:22,479 --> 01:32:24,880
Speaker 1: they did. They consistency, I think is the thing that

1901
01:32:24,960 --> 01:32:27,240
Speaker 1: they were looking to change here in Buffalo. And because

1902
01:32:27,320 --> 01:32:30,120
Speaker 1: Colton Schmidt had a big leg, but he had begun

1903
01:32:30,640 --> 01:32:32,080
Speaker 1: to be a little bit of a roller coaster and

1904
01:32:32,160 --> 01:32:34,040
Speaker 1: they didn't want to live with that. But bai Orca

1905
01:32:34,120 --> 01:32:36,479
Speaker 1: is supposed to be that guy. And your question Sean

1906
01:32:36,560 --> 01:32:39,400
Speaker 1: about you know, did I take pride and when did

1907
01:32:39,439 --> 01:32:41,360
Speaker 1: I finally realize that special team is going to be

1908
01:32:41,439 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 1: my thing? It was very early in my career here

1909
01:32:44,360 --> 01:32:47,320
Speaker 1: in Buffalo. They picked me up two cover kicks. Marv

1910
01:32:47,479 --> 01:32:49,559
Speaker 1: Levy took me out of my first or second week here,

1911
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:52,160
Speaker 1: taught me out to block a punt. The very next game,

1912
01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:54,080
Speaker 1: I blocked my first punt as a Buffalo Bill, and

1913
01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,960
Speaker 1: I knew running off the field when when Marv gave

1914
01:32:57,040 --> 01:32:59,880
Speaker 1: me the eyes said, I knew I was this guy

1915
01:33:00,200 --> 01:33:02,120
Speaker 1: special teams. I was not going anywhere. I took great

1916
01:33:02,160 --> 01:33:05,320
Speaker 1: pride in being a Buffalo Bill. I took great pride

1917
01:33:05,360 --> 01:33:06,760
Speaker 1: and being a part of that team. It didn't matter

1918
01:33:06,840 --> 01:33:08,600
Speaker 1: what role I was in. I think I speak for

1919
01:33:08,640 --> 01:33:10,760
Speaker 1: a lot of the guys on those teams. It was

1920
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,680
Speaker 1: great just to be on that team. Forget about what

1921
01:33:12,840 --> 01:33:15,240
Speaker 1: role you had. It wasn't about being a taking pride

1922
01:33:15,280 --> 01:33:17,439
Speaker 1: and being a great receiver, or taking pride and being

1923
01:33:17,479 --> 01:33:21,519
Speaker 1: a great special teams player or you know, linebacker, what

1924
01:33:21,600 --> 01:33:23,560
Speaker 1: have you. Was about being a great teammate and a

1925
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:25,800
Speaker 1: great member of a great team. That that was what

1926
01:33:25,920 --> 01:33:27,800
Speaker 1: you took pride in. All right, Thanks for Sean, I

1927
01:33:27,840 --> 01:33:29,920
Speaker 1: appreciate it. I'm glad that you had a nice memory

1928
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:33,639
Speaker 1: of me back in twenty one years ago. I remember

1929
01:33:33,680 --> 01:33:36,479
Speaker 1: twenty one years ago. Yeah, thanks for calling. We got

1930
01:33:36,560 --> 01:33:38,600
Speaker 1: more calls to come. We got Nathan Peterman going to

1931
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:40,519
Speaker 1: join us. We believe in the next hour, so come

1932
01:33:40,560 --> 01:33:42,840

1936
01:34:04,479 --> 01:34:06,519

Speaker 1: off today, returned to practice tomorrow. They are reportedly the

1939
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,479
Speaker 1: Bills aren't working out three veterans today who were released

1940
01:34:15,520 --> 01:34:18,040
Speaker 1: over the weekend. One of them quarterback Paxton Lynch, former

1944
01:34:27,720 --> 01:34:30,880
Speaker 1: by Cleveland. No further updates on that. Pittsburgh Steelers want

1945
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:33,000
Speaker 1: leamy On Bell to get back to work, and many

1946
01:34:33,080 --> 01:34:36,160
Speaker 1: of his teammates expect that he will. Bell has been

1947
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:38,360
Speaker 1: a no show. Was a no show yesterday at the

1948
01:34:38,560 --> 01:34:41,280
Speaker 1: Steelers facility, even with a fourteen and a half million

1949
01:34:41,320 --> 01:34:46,519
Speaker 1: dollar franchise tender waiting for him. General manager Kevin Colbert

1950
01:34:46,560 --> 01:34:49,080
Speaker 1: said yesterday we're disappointed Bell has not signed this franchise

1951
01:34:49,160 --> 01:34:52,360
Speaker 1: tender Steelers center Marquise Pounce. He says he'll be here Wednesday.

1952
01:34:52,640 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 1: Count on it. Pounce, he said teammates are not concerned

1953
01:34:55,000 --> 01:34:57,519
Speaker 1: by Bell's absence. They know he'll show up ready to play.

1954
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:01,160
Speaker 1: The Jets, one day after naming Sam darn their starting quarterback,

1955
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:04,679
Speaker 1: added another quarterback to the practice squad, Davis Webb, former

1956
01:35:04,760 --> 01:35:07,040
Speaker 1: third round pick on the New York Giants in twenty seventeen,

1957
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:09,720
Speaker 1: released Sunday by the Giants, went unclaimed and signed on

1958
01:35:09,880 --> 01:35:13,479
Speaker 1: with the New York Jets. Savers Prospects Challenge kicks off

1959
01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:17,240
Speaker 1: on Friday. Savers Bruins, Penguins, and Devil's Prospects are going

1960
01:35:17,320 --> 01:35:19,320
Speaker 1: to go head to head. It starts on Friday seven

1961
01:35:19,360 --> 01:35:21,760
Speaker 1: o'clock at Harbor Center, where the Savers up against New

01:35:21,880 --> 01:35:26,040
Speaker 1: Jersey Sabers. Training camp opens next Thursday. Rick Patino says

1963
01:35:26,080 --> 01:35:28,360
Speaker 1: it is unlikely that he will ever return to coaching

1964
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:31,880
Speaker 1: college basketball. He released a book entitled Patino My Story.

1965
01:35:32,080 --> 01:35:35,439
Speaker 1: When asked to expand about his future, Patino admitted he

1966
01:35:35,479 --> 01:35:38,160
Speaker 1: does not believe he will get a coaching job again.

1967
01:35:39,320 --> 01:35:42,160
Speaker 1: Is an FBI investigation in the college basketball led to

1968
01:35:42,240 --> 01:35:45,040
Speaker 1: his termination at Louisville, and Patino says it's unlikely that

1969
01:35:45,080 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: he gets to coach again. He is sixty five years old.

1970
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,240
Speaker 1: He is denied knowledge of most of the transgressions that

1971
01:35:50,320 --> 01:35:52,960
Speaker 1: the FBI found at the University of Louisville. And then

1972
01:35:52,960 --> 01:35:55,599
Speaker 1: it's the update from One Bill's Drive, John Murphy Steve

1973
01:35:55,680 --> 01:35:58,519
Speaker 1: Casker in our One Buffalo studio off day for the players.

1974
01:35:58,560 --> 01:36:00,800
Speaker 1: Many players here, including our neck guest as he gets

1975
01:36:00,840 --> 01:36:03,639
Speaker 1: set to start the season as the Buffalo bill starting quarterback.

1976
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,000
Speaker 1: Happy to have Nathan Peterman and studio with us. Hello, Nathan,

1977
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:07,840
Speaker 1: thanks for coming by problem, Thanks for having I like

1978
01:36:07,840 --> 01:36:11,080
Speaker 1: your pull over. That's nice. It's pretty fair at that

1979
01:36:11,160 --> 01:36:14,479
Speaker 1: first store. Probably didn't get the company discount either, Yeah,

1980
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,120
Speaker 1: something like that retail for that good store. We got

1981
01:36:17,200 --> 01:36:21,120
Speaker 1: over here. So today's usually Tuesday's usually a day off.

1982
01:36:21,160 --> 01:36:23,080
Speaker 1: Do quarterbacks ever take days off? Do you guys? You

1983
01:36:23,120 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 1: guys are in here all the time. Yeah, No, no

1984
01:36:25,200 --> 01:36:27,519
Speaker 1: day off in the NFL, that's for sure. Do you

1985
01:36:27,600 --> 01:36:29,680
Speaker 1: come in We were wondering in this and we're not

1986
01:36:29,680 --> 01:36:31,560
Speaker 1: going to ask for details, but do they have a

1987
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:33,960
Speaker 1: game plan ready for you on Tuesday or by Tuesday

1988
01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,080
Speaker 1: night we do. And obviously this is a little bit

1989
01:36:37,120 --> 01:36:39,080
Speaker 1: different week just in the fact that you know, we've

1990
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:40,720
Speaker 1: had a little bit more time to preparis since that

1991
01:36:40,840 --> 01:36:43,559
Speaker 1: last preseason game. But it's been good, you know, great

1992
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:45,960
Speaker 1: to get a jump start on these guys, um talented

1993
01:36:46,040 --> 01:36:48,360
Speaker 1: defense and um good to get a jump start on

1994
01:36:48,560 --> 01:36:51,719
Speaker 1: what we're doing too, because that's really, you know, pretty important.

1995
01:36:51,880 --> 01:36:53,960
Speaker 1: And you roll into marow, you start with practice and

1996
01:36:55,320 --> 01:36:57,000
Speaker 1: you get this when you get the game print plan

1997
01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:00,200
Speaker 1: presented to you. Is it it's day day? Ball comes

1998
01:37:00,240 --> 01:37:01,920
Speaker 1: in and he says, you're down with you and Josh

1999
01:37:01,960 --> 01:37:05,200
Speaker 1: and anybody else in the room. Uh, nope, you know,

2000
01:37:05,280 --> 01:37:07,680
Speaker 1: we kind of keep it just QBS right now. And um,

2001
01:37:07,880 --> 01:37:09,640
Speaker 1: you know it's good. I mean, he's brainstorming back and

2002
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:12,439
Speaker 1: forth with Hey, do you like this? Do you like that? Um?

2003
01:37:12,800 --> 01:37:15,120
Speaker 1: And it's good communication between both of us because that's

2004
01:37:15,280 --> 01:37:16,960
Speaker 1: you know, I think what's really important is, you know,

2005
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:19,200
Speaker 1: we have to be an extension of him on that field.

2006
01:37:19,240 --> 01:37:21,880
Speaker 1: It's coming on tablet on your tablet, uh now. So

2007
01:37:22,040 --> 01:37:24,320
Speaker 1: we just usually come in, you know, and this has

2008
01:37:24,400 --> 01:37:26,479
Speaker 1: been different. Like I said, we've had some more days

2009
01:37:26,560 --> 01:37:28,640
Speaker 1: that you know, we could kind of talk about, you

2010
01:37:28,720 --> 01:37:30,240
Speaker 1: know what we like before we actually had to go

2011
01:37:30,280 --> 01:37:33,360
Speaker 1: out and practice, so back to Saturday or you know,

2012
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,320
Speaker 1: all the way back. But it's it is it? In

2013
01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,640
Speaker 1: other words, I think it'd be really dramatic if the

2014
01:37:38,720 --> 01:37:40,880
Speaker 1: coach could walk in with the game plan and just

2015
01:37:40,960 --> 01:37:43,680
Speaker 1: go like, there it is. That's how we beat the room, right?

2016
01:37:43,840 --> 01:37:45,680
Speaker 1: Can they do that? Or is it tablet form? We

2017
01:37:45,720 --> 01:37:48,479
Speaker 1: don't quite get the book job like that unfortunately, but

2018
01:37:48,800 --> 01:37:51,519
Speaker 1: um yeah, they push it on tablet dream. We get

2019
01:37:51,560 --> 01:37:53,320
Speaker 1: the you know, the play sheet and then we just

2020
01:37:53,400 --> 01:37:55,280
Speaker 1: talk about it. Like I said, a communication is key.

2021
01:37:56,240 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 1: So you go through this last preseason, it's you and

2022
01:37:58,080 --> 01:38:01,240
Speaker 1: aj and Josh and hard to imagine. And you did

2023
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,320
Speaker 1: this last year too. I mean, people forget you had

2024
01:38:03,320 --> 01:38:05,640
Speaker 1: a really nice preseason last year, which is why you

2025
01:38:05,840 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 1: end up being Tyrod's backup a year ago, had another

2026
01:38:09,080 --> 01:38:12,520
Speaker 1: nice preseason and that first game coming out against Carolina

2027
01:38:13,320 --> 01:38:15,719
Speaker 1: Murphin I've been talking about you guys had like twelve

2028
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,680
Speaker 1: different personnel combinations. You changed it up every play. You

2029
01:38:18,760 --> 01:38:20,240
Speaker 1: came out very you seemed to go with a lot

2030
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:23,960
Speaker 1: of pace, and you know, you ended up at the

2031
01:38:24,040 --> 01:38:26,320
Speaker 1: end of the preseason completing eighty percent of your passes

2032
01:38:26,360 --> 01:38:29,519
Speaker 1: throughout the three four games, and you really had to

2033
01:38:29,560 --> 01:38:31,439
Speaker 1: feel good about the performance you put out there, and

2034
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:35,200
Speaker 1: obviously as a starter on opening day, the coaches agreed. Yeah,

2035
01:38:35,240 --> 01:38:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean it feels great. It's a great opportunity something

2036
01:38:37,840 --> 01:38:41,720
Speaker 1: I'm extremely thankful for a lot of good things I did,

2037
01:38:41,800 --> 01:38:43,400
Speaker 1: I feel, but a lot of things I could have

2038
01:38:43,479 --> 01:38:46,560
Speaker 1: grown from and I will grow from. Especially you know,

2039
01:38:46,600 --> 01:38:48,320
Speaker 1: I'm not much of a stats guy, so you know,

2040
01:38:48,400 --> 01:38:50,880
Speaker 1: I look into every play and you know how it

2041
01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:53,600
Speaker 1: could be better no matter what the stat says. So

2042
01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:55,960
Speaker 1: there's always things to get better at. And that's what

2043
01:38:56,040 --> 01:38:58,040
Speaker 1: I'm focusing on now. Nathan. Let me get you back

2044
01:38:58,040 --> 01:39:00,040
Speaker 1: to the Carolina game and how well that started, not

2045
01:39:00,160 --> 01:39:03,920
Speaker 1: just for you, but for the offense in general. And

2046
01:39:04,040 --> 01:39:06,439
Speaker 1: why did was there a way that you guys played

2047
01:39:06,479 --> 01:39:08,080
Speaker 1: there that you kind of went away from as far

2048
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:10,320
Speaker 1: as the rest of the preseason In other words, the

2049
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:14,439
Speaker 1: pace that Steve mentioned, the different the varying personnel packages.

2050
01:39:14,560 --> 01:39:16,200
Speaker 1: It seemed like we saw that that game and then

2051
01:39:16,240 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 1: we didn't really see much of it after that. Yeah,

2052
01:39:18,520 --> 01:39:21,680
Speaker 1: I'm not sure, to be honest, I guess it's a

2053
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:24,680
Speaker 1: ways back to think about. You know, you know we've

2054
01:39:24,720 --> 01:39:27,200
Speaker 1: had we had success. We were kind of rolling in

2055
01:39:27,280 --> 01:39:29,320
Speaker 1: a pace and that's important. I think we've talked about

2056
01:39:29,360 --> 01:39:32,160
Speaker 1: that of how important it is just to have good

2057
01:39:32,200 --> 01:39:34,080
Speaker 1: pace out of the huddle, you know, have that operation

2058
01:39:35,439 --> 01:39:38,400
Speaker 1: crisp and clean, and that's something we're focused on practice

2059
01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:40,519
Speaker 1: this week, especially going in that opening day. We want

2060
01:39:40,560 --> 01:39:42,439
Speaker 1: to be clean and be able to just go out

2061
01:39:42,439 --> 01:39:44,320
Speaker 1: there and execute. It wasn't simple. I mean you were

2062
01:39:44,360 --> 01:39:47,720
Speaker 1: switching to formations almost every play in that game, Yeah,

2063
01:39:47,880 --> 01:39:49,639
Speaker 1: the first half of it. And I mean I think

2064
01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:51,800
Speaker 1: that's what Davil does a great job too of is

2065
01:39:52,120 --> 01:39:55,280
Speaker 1: you know, maybe to the outside the naked eye, maybe

2066
01:39:55,320 --> 01:39:57,840
Speaker 1: it doesn't it looks super complicated, but you know, he

2067
01:39:57,920 --> 01:39:59,439
Speaker 1: does a good job of just keeping it simple for

2068
01:39:59,560 --> 01:40:02,160
Speaker 1: us where we've you know, repped this so hard, um

2069
01:40:02,240 --> 01:40:04,559
Speaker 1: all the way going back to March Um. So now

2070
01:40:04,640 --> 01:40:07,439
Speaker 1: it's just easy for us. You know, formations might change,

2071
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:09,479
Speaker 1: but um, for the most part, we've got a good

2072
01:40:09,600 --> 01:40:11,800
Speaker 1: understanding of what he wants to do. What about the

2073
01:40:12,000 --> 01:40:13,280
Speaker 1: rest of your day today, I mean you come in

2074
01:40:13,360 --> 01:40:15,680
Speaker 1: getting ready for the game plan. What's what time were

2075
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:17,400
Speaker 1: you in today, What's what's the next thing on your

2076
01:40:17,479 --> 01:40:21,320
Speaker 1: Ginda f you this all important radio Internet. Yeah, so, uh,

2077
01:40:21,439 --> 01:40:23,320
Speaker 1: you know, Tuesdays, I usually like to get in here

2078
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 1: relatively early, just to kind of get it. It is

2079
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:28,960
Speaker 1: our day off technically, so I'd like to get in early,

2080
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:32,040
Speaker 1: and um, try to get things done with um, you know,

2081
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:35,559
Speaker 1: attack the film of what I want to see and um,

2082
01:40:35,800 --> 01:40:37,880
Speaker 1: you know, maybe talk to receivers. And we've had a

2083
01:40:37,920 --> 01:40:41,200
Speaker 1: good you know QB receivers meeting earlier. Um you know

2084
01:40:41,240 --> 01:40:43,479
Speaker 1: about what we're looking for from each other against these

2085
01:40:43,560 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 1: guys especially, so UM, try to get with them. Um.

2086
01:40:46,560 --> 01:40:48,720
Speaker 1: Obviously we're a little ahead right now with the extra

2087
01:40:48,840 --> 01:40:51,479
Speaker 1: days we've had, but um, you know then, uh, you know,

2088
01:40:51,560 --> 01:40:53,360
Speaker 1: I got to have some balance in life, So spend

2089
01:40:53,520 --> 01:40:55,600
Speaker 1: some time with my wife and my dog, and UM

2090
01:40:55,720 --> 01:40:57,600
Speaker 1: get ready for tomorrow because we're going to attack it

2091
01:40:57,680 --> 01:40:59,479
Speaker 1: once we come back. As far as film, Ravens have

2092
01:40:59,560 --> 01:41:02,080
Speaker 1: a new deep defensive coordinator, but he was their linebackers coach.

2093
01:41:02,120 --> 01:41:04,760
Speaker 1: So can you look at last year's Ravens defense and

2094
01:41:04,840 --> 01:41:06,639
Speaker 1: figure that's kind of what you're gonna get a look

2095
01:41:06,640 --> 01:41:08,720
Speaker 1: at this Sunday. Yeah, you know, I think it's from

2096
01:41:08,760 --> 01:41:11,519
Speaker 1: the same tree, but um, Like I've said with Dabo,

2097
01:41:11,520 --> 01:41:13,800
Speaker 1: people asking me about him at being a coordinator, any

2098
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:17,880
Speaker 1: every new coordinator has their unique thumb print, you know, fingerprint,

2099
01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:20,240
Speaker 1: and so I think that's what we're gonna see. UM

2100
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:23,040
Speaker 1: with Don Martin Dale, the same thing is that he's

2101
01:41:23,080 --> 01:41:25,599
Speaker 1: going to have his own fingerprint of how he calls things,

2102
01:41:25,800 --> 01:41:28,000
Speaker 1: you know, the rhythm of the game, and UM, we'll

2103
01:41:28,080 --> 01:41:29,960
Speaker 1: just have to you know, be ready to adjust to that.

2104
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 1: How did they produce all those takeaways last year? Thirty

2105
01:41:32,240 --> 01:41:34,120
Speaker 1: four takeaways? Was it the way they played or just

2106
01:41:34,200 --> 01:41:36,760
Speaker 1: the ball following you know, their way. Yeah, so I've

2107
01:41:36,800 --> 01:41:38,800
Speaker 1: seen you know, they play hard, and I think when

2108
01:41:39,280 --> 01:41:41,280
Speaker 1: defense runs to the ball, you know, that's how we

2109
01:41:41,400 --> 01:41:43,519
Speaker 1: coach our defense, and I'm sure how they coach there

2110
01:41:43,600 --> 01:41:45,760
Speaker 1: is is um, when you're running the ball hard that

2111
01:41:46,400 --> 01:41:48,720
Speaker 1: there's tips, there's things like that. You've seen that. But

2112
01:41:48,960 --> 01:41:50,800
Speaker 1: they've got a lot of talented players that that will

2113
01:41:50,800 --> 01:41:52,760
Speaker 1: go out there and um want to make a play

2114
01:41:52,840 --> 01:41:55,160
Speaker 1: on the ball. So we've got to be great, UM,

2115
01:41:55,280 --> 01:41:59,000
Speaker 1: great details and our routes and our ball placement by us,

2116
01:41:59,080 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 1: and then up front we've got to do a great

2117
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:04,599
Speaker 1: job as well. So you're coming into this season. Now

2118
01:42:04,680 --> 01:42:06,640
Speaker 1: you're the starter on opening day. Last year you were

2119
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:09,160
Speaker 1: a rookie coming in and playing behind Tyrod. A lot

2120
01:42:09,240 --> 01:42:11,600
Speaker 1: of new faces not only in the backfield with you

2121
01:42:12,200 --> 01:42:14,599
Speaker 1: starting in the backfield, but also you know, Calvin Benjamin

2122
01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:19,360
Speaker 1: wasn't here at this point last year, Jeremy Curly wasn't

2123
01:42:19,400 --> 01:42:22,760
Speaker 1: here at this point last year, and vlad Duke cost

2124
01:42:22,840 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 1: was an unknown. You got the offensive line ahead of you.

2125
01:42:25,600 --> 01:42:28,759
Speaker 1: That's a little what's it? Everything really has to feel

2126
01:42:29,920 --> 01:42:32,639
Speaker 1: light years away from where it was twelve months ago. Yeah,

2127
01:42:32,760 --> 01:42:35,360
Speaker 1: there's definitely been a lot of change, but that's what

2128
01:42:35,439 --> 01:42:38,360
Speaker 1: the NFL is. It's it's a league that changes quickly,

2129
01:42:38,520 --> 01:42:40,479
Speaker 1: and um, you know, you've got to be able to adapt.

2130
01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:43,360
Speaker 1: And I think we've done a great job of all

2131
01:42:43,400 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 1: those guys. You know they talked about the new receivers.

2132
01:42:45,600 --> 01:42:48,439
Speaker 1: I mean, you know there we got some great veterans

2133
01:42:48,479 --> 01:42:50,639
Speaker 1: in that room. Um, you know Curly, I know, It's

2134
01:42:50,680 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: just I'm really excited about him. He's He's an awesome guy,

2135
01:42:54,479 --> 01:42:57,720
Speaker 1: a savvy vet too, that has a great communication with me,

2136
01:42:57,920 --> 01:42:59,880
Speaker 1: and um, I can see that you know he knows

2137
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:01,960
Speaker 1: he's doing It's he's a great presence. I think to

2138
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:04,280
Speaker 1: having that room, um, and then you know, just getting

2139
01:43:04,360 --> 01:43:05,880
Speaker 1: used to all the new faces. We've been doing this

2140
01:43:06,080 --> 01:43:08,720
Speaker 1: for you know, a few weeks, a few months now,

2141
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:11,880
Speaker 1: really since March, you know, like I said, so we

2142
01:43:12,000 --> 01:43:15,519
Speaker 1: just got to keep keep coming together. Anything. Did you, um,

2143
01:43:15,760 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 1: I don't know if sweat out is the right word,

2144
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:20,759
Speaker 1: but did you Were you preoccupied with the quarterback decision

2145
01:43:20,880 --> 01:43:23,680
Speaker 1: going into this last weekend? I assume coach told you

2146
01:43:23,720 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 1: guys yesterday morning, right, first thing yesterday? Yeah, the guy,

2147
01:43:26,960 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 1: how was your weekend? Did you worry about that? I

2148
01:43:28,800 --> 01:43:30,559
Speaker 1: think about that or it was good? You know, it's

2149
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:32,639
Speaker 1: it's definitely on your mind, but at the same time,

2150
01:43:32,760 --> 01:43:35,360
Speaker 1: you just kind of by that time, there's nothing else

2151
01:43:35,360 --> 01:43:38,200
Speaker 1: you could do. You know, I'd done everything I could,

2152
01:43:38,400 --> 01:43:41,120
Speaker 1: you know. Um, Obviously, like I said, there's things that

2153
01:43:41,240 --> 01:43:43,240
Speaker 1: you wish you could have had back, but that's always

2154
01:43:43,280 --> 01:43:44,640
Speaker 1: going to be the case in football. You know, you

2155
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:47,599
Speaker 1: never play a perfect game. UM. So you know, now

2156
01:43:47,680 --> 01:43:50,799
Speaker 1: it's just about preparing for the Ravens no matter what position.

2157
01:43:51,040 --> 01:43:53,200
Speaker 1: You know, I was going to be named as um

2158
01:43:53,560 --> 01:43:55,360
Speaker 1: and I think I did that, and you know it

2159
01:43:55,439 --> 01:43:58,040
Speaker 1: was good to have yesterday happened. Can I go ahead.

2160
01:43:58,040 --> 01:44:00,160
Speaker 1: I just want to take you back to last day

2161
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,560
Speaker 1: night in Chicago, and it's only preseason, but I was

2162
01:44:02,600 --> 01:44:06,240
Speaker 1: just so impressed about the way the entire team offensive particular,

2163
01:44:06,720 --> 01:44:09,160
Speaker 1: responded to being in that hole, digging out of that hole.

2164
01:44:09,479 --> 01:44:11,479
Speaker 1: You know you said goodbye to A. J. Mccaren. I'm sure,

2165
01:44:11,520 --> 01:44:13,679
Speaker 1: but I was impressed by him in his demeanor after

2166
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:16,000
Speaker 1: the game. It's a guy who's played in national champion one,

2167
01:44:16,120 --> 01:44:19,720
Speaker 1: national championships, and he's talking about legendary comebacks and most

2168
01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 1: funny he's ever had playing football. I just thought we

2169
01:44:21,960 --> 01:44:23,760
Speaker 1: talked about a lot on our show Friday, how that

2170
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,800
Speaker 1: game as meaningless as a preseason game. Is that game

2171
01:44:26,880 --> 01:44:28,680
Speaker 1: kind of said something about the group of guys that

2172
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:30,960
Speaker 1: you have here. Is that true? What do you think? Absolutely?

2173
01:44:31,080 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 1: You know I was obviously we weren't playing, but we're

2174
01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:38,240
Speaker 1: right right in there with it with him, and I

2175
01:44:38,320 --> 01:44:40,720
Speaker 1: think that says a lot about you know, just our

2176
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 1: whole team. Like you said, in the culture, really that

2177
01:44:43,600 --> 01:44:46,320
Speaker 1: whenever you're out there on that field is an unbelievable

2178
01:44:46,320 --> 01:44:48,680
Speaker 1: opportunity to go out there and play and put your

2179
01:44:48,720 --> 01:44:50,920
Speaker 1: best foot forward. And you know, you saw all the

2180
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,320
Speaker 1: passion on the resiliency that we showed in that game,

2181
01:44:54,320 --> 01:44:55,560
Speaker 1: and I think that's something that we can have some

2182
01:44:55,680 --> 01:44:58,720
Speaker 1: momentum and move forward with. What are you looking most

2183
01:44:58,840 --> 01:45:02,880
Speaker 1: forward to on Sunday? Being a starter man? Hopefully winning

2184
01:45:02,880 --> 01:45:05,800
Speaker 1: the game? I mean that's you know, that's the ultimate goal, UM,

2185
01:45:06,080 --> 01:45:09,519
Speaker 1: no matter completions whatever, UM is just going out there

2186
01:45:09,560 --> 01:45:11,880
Speaker 1: and trying to win a game. So UM. Really that

2187
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:14,479
Speaker 1: locker room after UM, you know, when you come in

2188
01:45:14,600 --> 01:45:17,320
Speaker 1: and get to celebrate with your teammates. That's Uh, that's

2189
01:45:17,400 --> 01:45:20,000
Speaker 1: the goal that we're working hard towards right now. You

2190
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:23,000
Speaker 1: spent some time during the offseason out west right with

2191
01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,960
Speaker 1: Tom House, former major league pitcher. Was that an entirely

2192
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:28,880
Speaker 1: new kind of training than you've ever had before in

2193
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:32,160
Speaker 1: your in your quarterback career? It was, you know, I've

2194
01:45:32,240 --> 01:45:35,439
Speaker 1: I've had some guys UM been around that type. UM,

2195
01:45:35,560 --> 01:45:37,000
Speaker 1: but that was the first time I actually got to

2196
01:45:37,040 --> 01:45:38,400
Speaker 1: go out there and work with him, and I thought

2197
01:45:38,439 --> 01:45:40,679
Speaker 1: it was great. UM. You know, I'm still in contact

2198
01:45:40,720 --> 01:45:42,760
Speaker 1: with him right now and just uh, you know, on

2199
01:45:42,880 --> 01:45:44,960
Speaker 1: what I need to work on and UM again, just

2200
01:45:45,040 --> 01:45:47,040
Speaker 1: trying to keep getting better. I can't remember, I'm sorry.

2201
01:45:47,080 --> 01:45:49,840
Speaker 1: See years ago I was covering spring training and Tom

2202
01:45:49,960 --> 01:45:51,720
Speaker 1: House was there as a pitching coach, I think, and

2203
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:53,880
Speaker 1: he did that right in Major League Baseball. He had

2204
01:45:53,960 --> 01:45:56,400
Speaker 1: his pictures throwing football sometimes during warm ups, right, that's

2205
01:45:56,439 --> 01:45:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of a I don't know if it's what he

2206
01:45:57,680 --> 01:46:00,640
Speaker 1: called cross training or just he has pitchers footballs and

2207
01:46:00,800 --> 01:46:03,360
Speaker 1: and I'm guessing that you guys may even throwing baseballs

2208
01:46:03,439 --> 01:46:05,320
Speaker 1: when you're out there. We do, yes, weight to balls

2209
01:46:05,400 --> 01:46:08,160
Speaker 1: and things, and you know it's good because it's really

2210
01:46:08,240 --> 01:46:09,720
Speaker 1: just the difference in the weight of the balls and

2211
01:46:09,800 --> 01:46:11,960
Speaker 1: your arm speed. And there's a lot of good things

2212
01:46:12,040 --> 01:46:14,440
Speaker 1: though that he does that maybe are a little unconventional,

2213
01:46:14,600 --> 01:46:17,000
Speaker 1: but you realize there's a purpose for it. What is

2214
01:46:17,040 --> 01:46:19,920
Speaker 1: your when you came out and obviously you've been working

2215
01:46:19,960 --> 01:46:21,840
Speaker 1: on this now for over a year and maybe even

2216
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,360
Speaker 1: during college, And what are some of the basic things

2217
01:46:25,439 --> 01:46:28,320
Speaker 1: that you think about now? Is it gotten easier? Some

2218
01:46:28,439 --> 01:46:30,160
Speaker 1: of it's got had to have gotten easier because you

2219
01:46:30,240 --> 01:46:33,040
Speaker 1: have been working on some of this stuff for hard

2220
01:46:33,360 --> 01:46:36,200
Speaker 1: for months and months on end. Absolutely. Yeah. I think

2221
01:46:36,280 --> 01:46:38,840
Speaker 1: one of the main things too, and going against our

2222
01:46:38,920 --> 01:46:41,439
Speaker 1: defense especially is just you know, seeing how defense is

2223
01:46:41,479 --> 01:46:43,840
Speaker 1: move in the NFL, because it is a little bit different.

2224
01:46:43,880 --> 01:46:46,360
Speaker 1: You know, those safeties they're they're pretty crafty, especially the

2225
01:46:46,400 --> 01:46:48,800
Speaker 1: two that we have to go against them. You know,

2226
01:46:48,880 --> 01:46:51,920
Speaker 1: all of OTAs in camp U and see you know,

2227
01:46:52,080 --> 01:46:54,680
Speaker 1: how how they're moving, how they're trying to disguise. Um.

2228
01:46:55,040 --> 01:46:57,479
Speaker 1: It is a lot different than college. But to feel

2229
01:46:57,520 --> 01:46:59,880
Speaker 1: that again and kind of just get used to it

2230
01:47:00,080 --> 01:47:02,960
Speaker 1: of seeing, you know, how the whole picture moves helps

2231
01:47:02,960 --> 01:47:05,000
Speaker 1: as a quarterback kind of speed that process up of

2232
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:07,320
Speaker 1: diagnosing the coverage and then being able to you know,

2233
01:47:07,400 --> 01:47:09,719
Speaker 1: decide where to go with the ball. Your last NFL

2234
01:47:09,800 --> 01:47:13,600
Speaker 1: action was the playoff game against Jacksonville, and that's got

2235
01:47:13,720 --> 01:47:16,320
Speaker 1: to be almost impossible. Would be thrown into the mix

2236
01:47:16,680 --> 01:47:18,680
Speaker 1: in the middle or in that case, late stages of

2237
01:47:18,720 --> 01:47:20,839
Speaker 1: a game. They have a whole week's worth of practice,

2238
01:47:20,880 --> 01:47:22,280
Speaker 1: they have all this prep time. It's got to be

2239
01:47:22,400 --> 01:47:25,640
Speaker 1: like a totally different endeavor for you than it was,

2240
01:47:25,760 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 1: you know, being thrown into a game. You came into

2241
01:47:27,280 --> 01:47:29,240
Speaker 1: a couple of games in relief of time rode last year,

2242
01:47:29,479 --> 01:47:31,840
Speaker 1: for sure, you know, And that was my job, you know,

2243
01:47:31,960 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: last year, and this is my job you know this

2244
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 1: year right now, And that's what I'm gonna you know,

2245
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:39,760
Speaker 1: I approached that, you know, the same way of trying

2246
01:47:39,800 --> 01:47:42,360
Speaker 1: to give my best effort with everything, and this week

2247
01:47:42,439 --> 01:47:45,400
Speaker 1: that's certainly the case. Is whatever, you know, my responsibility

2248
01:47:45,479 --> 01:47:47,200
Speaker 1: is I want to go do that, So helping the

2249
01:47:47,240 --> 01:47:49,360
Speaker 1: team win as my goal. So a lot of the

2250
01:47:49,439 --> 01:47:51,720
Speaker 1: questions surrounding the team is because there are so many

2251
01:47:51,800 --> 01:47:54,080
Speaker 1: new faces on the club and there has been some shoveling,

2252
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:56,320
Speaker 1: particularly right in front of you. What's your relationship and

2253
01:47:56,400 --> 01:47:59,360
Speaker 1: what's your thoughts and the feedback the offensive line is

2254
01:47:59,439 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 1: giving you about you know, how they're coming together and

2255
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:05,160
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do to you know, to actually played

2256
01:48:05,160 --> 01:48:07,439
Speaker 1: better than they did maybe in Cincinnati or in Cleveland,

2257
01:48:07,520 --> 01:48:09,320
Speaker 1: that kind of thing, like they look good. We were

2258
01:48:09,320 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 1: talking with they look good against Carolina and then you know,

2259
01:48:11,960 --> 01:48:14,360
Speaker 1: then they started shuffling guys around and moving some pieces

2260
01:48:14,360 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 1: and they did weren't as performers. Well, what's your interaction

2261
01:48:17,160 --> 01:48:19,960
Speaker 1: with the offensive line? It's great, you know, Um, you know,

2262
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:22,720
Speaker 1: Ryan Groy and I were just together talking about you know,

2263
01:48:22,760 --> 01:48:24,960
Speaker 1: the blitz is that they're going to bring us and um,

2264
01:48:25,160 --> 01:48:26,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm sure we'll continue to have those those

2265
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:30,200
Speaker 1: talks throughout the week. And I think that's important because

2266
01:48:30,479 --> 01:48:33,000
Speaker 1: especially on the offensive line with us. Um, it's all

2267
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: about chemistry, you know, and those guys you know, getting together.

2268
01:48:36,080 --> 01:48:37,880
Speaker 1: I thought it was good. We had kind of just

2269
01:48:38,000 --> 01:48:41,559
Speaker 1: an offensive meeting together, Um, just players yesterday and UM

2270
01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:43,360
Speaker 1: kind of watch some things and you know, to hear

2271
01:48:43,400 --> 01:48:45,640
Speaker 1: the old line talk together of hey, you know, this

2272
01:48:45,760 --> 01:48:47,560
Speaker 1: is how we need to be working together. Um. I

2273
01:48:47,600 --> 01:48:50,479
Speaker 1: thought was great to hear that kind of talk with them. Um.

2274
01:48:50,560 --> 01:48:53,320
Speaker 1: That's just something that we'll have to keep growing with too. Yeah,

2275
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:55,360
Speaker 1: if you got two big brothers, what have they said

2276
01:48:55,400 --> 01:48:58,760
Speaker 1: this week? You about getting the call to start this week? Well,

2277
01:48:58,800 --> 01:49:00,679
Speaker 1: it's been a little bit of I guess at world

2278
01:49:00,680 --> 01:49:03,560
Speaker 1: win since yesterday. Um, you know, I haven't gotten to

2279
01:49:04,600 --> 01:49:06,559
Speaker 1: just sit down and talk with a lot of my family,

2280
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:09,280
Speaker 1: but I know they're so excited. Um. You know they've

2281
01:49:09,320 --> 01:49:11,800
Speaker 1: been rooting for me. Um, always had my back for

2282
01:49:12,000 --> 01:49:14,120
Speaker 1: you know obviously since I was a kid. So I'm

2283
01:49:14,160 --> 01:49:18,160
Speaker 1: just thankful for them, um, and definitely ready for this Sunday.

2284
01:49:18,240 --> 01:49:20,880
Speaker 1: Not a family coming Sunday, Um, no, I don't think.

2285
01:49:20,920 --> 01:49:23,519
Speaker 1: So it's kind of sprung upon us. My dad, you know,

2286
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:26,960
Speaker 1: is working too on Sunday as a creature. So um,

2287
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:28,880
Speaker 1: they'll they'll make it up to a few though this year.

2288
01:49:29,600 --> 01:49:33,240
Speaker 1: The good guy. Good luck with that. That's they everybody.

2289
01:49:33,520 --> 01:49:35,360
Speaker 1: Murphy even too, deludes to it once in a while.

2290
01:49:35,439 --> 01:49:38,720
Speaker 1: How tickets are free. The tickets aren't free. They're not.

2291
01:49:39,080 --> 01:49:42,080
Speaker 1: They're not, unfortunately. But yeah, my other brother's expecting a

2292
01:49:42,200 --> 01:49:45,360
Speaker 1: baby here soon, so he's on baby watch. But I'll

2293
01:49:45,360 --> 01:49:47,280
Speaker 1: be looking forward to when they have that too. If

2294
01:49:47,360 --> 01:49:50,640
Speaker 1: you last question I have see might hit more. This

2295
01:49:50,920 --> 01:49:53,160
Speaker 1: is a step for you, a pretty significant step to

2296
01:49:53,240 --> 01:49:56,280
Speaker 1: be starting opening day in the NFL, and as you said,

2297
01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:59,439
Speaker 1: it's a whirlwind since the announcement yesterday. Do you allow

2298
01:49:59,479 --> 01:50:01,080
Speaker 1: yourself and any time at all to kind of just

2299
01:50:01,240 --> 01:50:04,120
Speaker 1: reflect a little bit like where you came from, transferring

2300
01:50:04,200 --> 01:50:07,240
Speaker 1: in college? Fifth round draft pick? Um? You know, playing

2301
01:50:07,240 --> 01:50:09,400
Speaker 1: a little bit last year. Have you allowed any time

2302
01:50:09,439 --> 01:50:11,479
Speaker 1: for reflection, like, Wow, look where I am, Look what

2303
01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,760
Speaker 1: I'm doing this Sunday. Yeah, you know, I think that

2304
01:50:13,920 --> 01:50:16,960
Speaker 1: that just comes naturally. Um. You know, especially after camp,

2305
01:50:17,040 --> 01:50:18,680
Speaker 1: you got a you know, a couple of days just

2306
01:50:18,800 --> 01:50:21,760
Speaker 1: to kind of catch your breath and really reflect. And

2307
01:50:22,880 --> 01:50:24,360
Speaker 1: you know, my wife and I went off to dinner

2308
01:50:24,439 --> 01:50:26,960
Speaker 1: the other night after everything and just getting to sit

2309
01:50:27,040 --> 01:50:29,840
Speaker 1: there and reflect with her about it. Through it all,

2310
01:50:29,920 --> 01:50:31,880
Speaker 1: it has been a crazy ride, and I know, you know,

2311
01:50:31,960 --> 01:50:33,760
Speaker 1: there's going to be you know, a lot of ups

2312
01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:37,000
Speaker 1: and downs to come still, i mean young in my career,

2313
01:50:37,160 --> 01:50:39,519
Speaker 1: but um, it's pretty amazing to see what God has done,

2314
01:50:39,720 --> 01:50:42,120
Speaker 1: you know, just through my whole life and career, and

2315
01:50:42,560 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 1: I'm excited for for what's to come. So if I

2316
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:47,080
Speaker 1: got to ask you too, you gotta feel like for

2317
01:50:47,200 --> 01:50:49,920
Speaker 1: all that's happened, the transfers in college and the draft

2318
01:50:50,000 --> 01:50:52,280
Speaker 1: and the stuff that happened last year and going through

2319
01:50:52,360 --> 01:50:54,640
Speaker 1: this competition, you got to feel like you might be

2320
01:50:54,840 --> 01:50:58,320
Speaker 1: just in the right spot where you're supposed to be absolutely, um,

2321
01:50:58,520 --> 01:51:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, and that's something and I felt for a

2322
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:03,040
Speaker 1: long time, you know, with this coaching staff and the

2323
01:51:03,120 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 1: people here, Um, I've felt just extremely blessed to be here. Um,

2324
01:51:07,800 --> 01:51:09,680
Speaker 1: you know, from the day I was drafted and got

2325
01:51:09,720 --> 01:51:12,040
Speaker 1: to know coach McDermott and you know all the people,

2326
01:51:12,320 --> 01:51:14,760
Speaker 1: you know, the supporting staff around here. I mean, there's

2327
01:51:14,800 --> 01:51:17,080
Speaker 1: just good people here and I'm so thankful to be

2328
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:19,200
Speaker 1: a part of it. Good Luck, Nay, good luck on Sunday,

2329

01:51:46,200 --> 01:51:49,280
Speaker 1: in our one Buffalo studio on a beautiful Tuesday afternoon.

2335
01:51:49,360 --> 01:51:51,920
Speaker 1: We're really going to be knee deep in Bills Ravens tomorrow.

2336
01:51:51,920 --> 01:51:57,479
Speaker 1: What's the matter? See it's two thirty. Just about I'm

2337
01:51:58,160 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: the game. The shows go fast in the season, don't that. Yes,

2338
01:52:01,479 --> 01:52:05,400
Speaker 1: we're busy, busy, business, busy that. How about how about

2339
01:52:05,400 --> 01:52:09,200
Speaker 1: our guy Nate Peterman, who's what's not to like? Writing?

2340
01:52:09,520 --> 01:52:13,400
Speaker 1: Just a great attitude, great demeanor. Um, you know what

2341
01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:15,639
Speaker 1: I admitted. I said, Hey, did you spend any time

2342
01:52:15,680 --> 01:52:17,599
Speaker 1: this weekend thinking wondering if you're going to be the guy?

2343
01:52:17,920 --> 01:52:19,519
Speaker 1: He said, Yeah, I did. I thought about it a

2344
01:52:19,600 --> 01:52:22,880
Speaker 1: little bit. Yeah, you have to there with my wife

2345
01:52:22,920 --> 01:52:25,280
Speaker 1: and yeah if he and look at how far has come?

2346
01:52:25,360 --> 01:52:29,120
Speaker 1: Really look and he is so far from an you know,

2347
01:52:29,520 --> 01:52:33,160
Speaker 1: a colorful character, right, that's all right though, he's like

2348
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,560
Speaker 1: just down to earth. He's like a mud puddle. He

2349
01:52:36,920 --> 01:52:38,640
Speaker 1: sounded I got a question for you because it came

2350
01:52:38,720 --> 01:52:40,639
Speaker 1: up a lot, a lot of questions for Nathan yesterday.

2351
01:52:40,680 --> 01:52:44,600
Speaker 1: Didn't even Sean McDermott about And it's an easy storyline

2352
01:52:44,840 --> 01:52:48,840
Speaker 1: for any player, but um, the hurdles he's overcome, the

2353
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:51,160
Speaker 1: challenges he's overcome. I don't know if I buy that.

2354
01:52:51,320 --> 01:52:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm not saying that Nathan Peterman hasn't worked hard, but yeah,

2355
01:52:54,520 --> 01:52:56,479
Speaker 1: he had to transfer to Tennessee, got passed over on

2356
01:52:56,520 --> 01:52:58,759
Speaker 1: the depth chart, So that's a hurdle, that's a setback.

2357
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:03,320
Speaker 1: Did Great pit right beat Clemson right? Fifth round pick?

2358
01:53:03,640 --> 01:53:06,040
Speaker 1: Is that? Yeah? He probably got drafted where most people

2359
01:53:06,080 --> 01:53:09,479
Speaker 1: thought he should be rough outing in his first start

2360
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,960
Speaker 1: at the Chargers. Yes, I acknowledge all that, but I

2361
01:53:12,520 --> 01:53:16,680
Speaker 1: don't he's more than just the classic story of overcoming

2362
01:53:16,760 --> 01:53:19,280
Speaker 1: the odds or I think when you get to know

2363
01:53:19,400 --> 01:53:20,559
Speaker 1: him a little bit and talked to him a little

2364
01:53:20,560 --> 01:53:23,559
Speaker 1: bit about his background. He mentioned his father's a preacher

2365
01:53:23,640 --> 01:53:27,639
Speaker 1: down in Jacksonville, Florida area, two older brothers. He's had

2366
01:53:27,720 --> 01:53:30,920
Speaker 1: good things in his background. He's had good support throughout

2367
01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:32,559
Speaker 1: his career. You know, he's married now for a couple

2368
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:35,439
Speaker 1: of years. He's got two older brothers, his family's strong supporter.

2369
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:37,200
Speaker 1: You got a coach that obviously likes him a lot.

2370
01:53:37,479 --> 01:53:39,439
Speaker 1: I don't think he's like a hard luck kid, which

2371
01:53:39,479 --> 01:53:42,240
Speaker 1: I think some may be ready to portray him as much.

2372
01:53:42,320 --> 01:53:44,680
Speaker 1: In fact, I think when he's been given a chance, yeah,

2373
01:53:44,840 --> 01:53:49,160
Speaker 1: he's exceeded expectations. In fact, he got to the point

2374
01:53:49,240 --> 01:53:51,800
Speaker 1: where he exceeded him so point he got in, he

2375
01:53:51,880 --> 01:53:53,760
Speaker 1: got put in someplace where he was in over his

2376
01:53:53,840 --> 01:53:55,800
Speaker 1: head in that Charger game. He played so well in

2377
01:53:55,920 --> 01:53:59,639
Speaker 1: last year's preseason. I mean, who thought he was gonna

2378
01:53:59,680 --> 01:54:01,760
Speaker 1: come in and play as well as he did and

2379
01:54:01,880 --> 01:54:04,599
Speaker 1: earned the backup spot. Because when he earned it, nobody

2380
01:54:04,640 --> 01:54:06,400
Speaker 1: batted an eye, right, I mean it was like, yeah,

2381
01:54:06,439 --> 01:54:07,960
Speaker 1: you're right, you know what, he did play well, they

2382
01:54:07,960 --> 01:54:10,080
Speaker 1: got to keep him, and then they did. Now they

2383
01:54:10,120 --> 01:54:11,840
Speaker 1: didn't get to expect him to get to the point

2384
01:54:11,840 --> 01:54:13,479
Speaker 1: where they were gonna have to bench their starter and

2385
01:54:13,600 --> 01:54:15,360
Speaker 1: stick him in there. I don't think he was ready

2386
01:54:15,360 --> 01:54:17,360
Speaker 1: for that at that point. I think he needed some time.

2387
01:54:17,680 --> 01:54:19,519
Speaker 1: And if that gives you any indication about what they

2388
01:54:19,960 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 1: know their timetable about sticking a rookie in, that was

2389
01:54:24,040 --> 01:54:27,320
Speaker 1: week eight of last season. Correct, There was five and four.

2390
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,760
Speaker 1: So okay, week ten, week ten of last season, and uh,

2391
01:54:31,439 --> 01:54:33,560
Speaker 1: you know, he wasn't quite the same guy. He wasn't

2392
01:54:33,600 --> 01:54:35,920
Speaker 1: ready for that. So I think that may give you

2393
01:54:35,960 --> 01:54:38,840
Speaker 1: an idea into the inside of the timetable for Josh Allen.

2394
01:54:38,880 --> 01:54:40,640
Speaker 1: They may think, you know, maybe it's not time for

2395
01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,520
Speaker 1: him until week twelve, fourteen sixteen. I guess I just

2396
01:54:43,680 --> 01:54:46,800
Speaker 1: reject the storyline maybe developing, maybe it won't that he

2397
01:54:46,920 --> 01:54:50,120
Speaker 1: is some sort of hard luck guy who's really been

2398
01:54:50,200 --> 01:54:52,200
Speaker 1: up against it, and not that he's had it easy,

2399
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:55,200
Speaker 1: but he's sort of to me, he's a plugger, steady guy.

2400
01:54:55,320 --> 01:54:57,840
Speaker 1: You know. Oh, I can't play anymore in Tennessee. Okay,

2401
01:54:57,880 --> 01:55:00,600
Speaker 1: I'll transfer to pit Oh we gotta play. I'm saying, okay,

2402
01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:03,160
Speaker 1: let's let's let's play well and be Clemson. Oh fifth

2403
01:55:03,280 --> 01:55:05,280
Speaker 1: round pick, now a first or second. Okay, I'm gonna

2404
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:07,240
Speaker 1: go make a team. I mean all along. I don't

2405
01:55:07,280 --> 01:55:10,680
Speaker 1: think it's as if he's been challenged by incredible hardships.

2406
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:12,560
Speaker 1: I just think he is a plugger. He is a worker.

2407
01:55:13,120 --> 01:55:15,880
Speaker 1: And I go back to McDermott said it yesterday. What's

2408
01:55:15,920 --> 01:55:18,640
Speaker 1: the quote that he said about Nathan Peterman. I love it.

2409
01:55:18,680 --> 01:55:20,840
Speaker 1: I've been impressed with his mental toughness in his command

2410
01:55:20,920 --> 01:55:23,840
Speaker 1: of the offense. That's why Nathan Peterman is starting the

2411
01:55:23,880 --> 01:55:26,400
Speaker 1: Sunday mental toughness. Yes, I'll give him that. He's tough

2412
01:55:26,520 --> 01:55:28,320
Speaker 1: enough to stay with it in the face of some

2413
01:55:28,440 --> 01:55:32,200
Speaker 1: adversity and his command of the offense. He's smart, you know,

2414
01:55:32,320 --> 01:55:34,080
Speaker 1: he knows what they're trying to do here. He's in here.

2415
01:55:34,120 --> 01:55:36,640
Speaker 1: By the way, on Tuesday, the day off, a meeting

2416
01:55:36,720 --> 01:55:38,720
Speaker 1: with receivers. They met today, you know they don't have

2417
01:55:38,800 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 1: to meet today. Meeting with offensive lineman talking to Ryan

2418
01:55:41,520 --> 01:55:44,040
Speaker 1: Groy about past protection today and the day off. That

2419
01:55:44,160 --> 01:55:46,760
Speaker 1: doesn't always happen. It hasn't always happened in this building

2420
01:55:47,160 --> 01:55:49,520
Speaker 1: over the years. I get it, and I hear you.

2421
01:55:49,840 --> 01:55:54,400
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not like you know, he's you know,

2422
01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: been back from the dead. But right, But let me

2423
01:55:58,080 --> 01:55:59,920
Speaker 1: tell you something, He's always going to be the great

2424
01:56:00,080 --> 01:56:03,960
Speaker 1: redemption story because of his first start. When he comes

2425
01:56:04,040 --> 01:56:06,160
Speaker 1: back and has any kind of success and comes back

2426
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: wins games. If he comes back and gets a team,

2427
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:11,200
Speaker 1: for instance, this is hype. For instance, Nate Peterman comes

2428
01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:12,960
Speaker 1: and gets the Bills back to the playoffs in a year,

2429
01:56:12,960 --> 01:56:15,120
Speaker 1: where they were supposed to be the thirty first worst team.

2430
01:56:15,160 --> 01:56:17,000
Speaker 1: When teams are picking up like they did last year,

2431
01:56:17,000 --> 01:56:19,480
Speaker 1: they were supposed to be tanking last year, and Nate

2432
01:56:19,560 --> 01:56:22,040
Speaker 1: Peterman is the guy that leads him to the playoffs.

2433
01:56:22,360 --> 01:56:24,520
Speaker 1: You don't think that's going to be the enormous redemption

2434
01:56:24,560 --> 01:56:26,440
Speaker 1: story of a guy who came in started one year.

2435
01:56:27,240 --> 01:56:32,080
Speaker 1: It's the absolute lead story, and he's always particularly now

2436
01:56:32,240 --> 01:56:34,400
Speaker 1: in the foreseeable future, it's all going to be about

2437
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:37,040
Speaker 1: his redemption from coming back from where he started as

2438
01:56:37,080 --> 01:56:38,960
Speaker 1: a rookie. I don't think people will go back as

2439
01:56:39,040 --> 01:56:42,000
Speaker 1: far as Tennessee and all that. And there's no doubt

2440
01:56:42,080 --> 01:56:46,120
Speaker 1: that he gets a lot of a lot of strength

2441
01:56:46,480 --> 01:56:49,200
Speaker 1: from his faith and the support that his family gives him,

2442
01:56:49,200 --> 01:56:51,000
Speaker 1: and the kind of well grounded kid that he is,

2443
01:56:51,120 --> 01:56:55,200
Speaker 1: and the and the preparedness his family gave him for

2444
01:56:55,320 --> 01:56:58,040
Speaker 1: being an a pro athlete and all the obstacles he

2445
01:56:58,400 --> 01:57:01,400
Speaker 1: come across every single day. But he's always going to

2446
01:57:01,480 --> 01:57:05,000
Speaker 1: be that redemption story because of the way his career

2447
01:57:05,080 --> 01:57:06,720
Speaker 1: started when he got on the field. I mean, that's

2448
01:57:07,040 --> 01:57:09,760
Speaker 1: and I think it's an awesome story and I can't

2449
01:57:09,800 --> 01:57:12,920
Speaker 1: wait for it to happen. You know you can talk you.

2450
01:57:13,240 --> 01:57:14,480
Speaker 1: We sat here and talked to him. He hear what

2451
01:57:14,520 --> 01:57:16,760
Speaker 1: everybody says about him. He is what he seems to be. Yeah,

2452
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:19,800
Speaker 1: it's a great dude, you know. Yep, we root for him. Hey,

2453
01:57:20,080 --> 01:57:22,520
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman's gonna start on Sunday. How many starts does

2454
01:57:22,560 --> 01:57:24,680
Speaker 1: he get this year? That's our Twitter poll. We should

2455
01:57:24,720 --> 01:57:27,800
Speaker 1: check that because it's always since the day began, it

2456
01:57:27,960 --> 01:57:29,920
Speaker 1: was about at fifty percent, a little bit more than

2457
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:33,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent of respondence to Twitter. I think he's going

2458
01:57:33,480 --> 01:57:36,280
Speaker 1: to start somewhere between what five and eight games? On

2459
01:57:36,400 --> 01:57:39,680
Speaker 1: the Twitter poll fifty one percent the last time I checked,

2460
01:57:40,040 --> 01:57:41,880
Speaker 1: and right now it's at fifty one percent five to

2461
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:44,960
Speaker 1: eight games. Twenty six percent say four or fewer, twenty

2462
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:46,760
Speaker 1: three percent say nine or more. What do you think?

2463
01:57:46,760 --> 01:57:48,680
Speaker 1: Give us a call? Eight oh three oh five fifty

2464
01:57:48,920 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five

2465
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:54,720
Speaker 1: fifty Sam and Niagara Falls has his answer to this, Sam,

2466
01:57:54,800 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 1: what do you think? Firstly, I think that Nathan Peterman

2467
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:00,880
Speaker 1: and how many games he will start will only be

2468
01:58:01,040 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 1: determined off of how well the offensive life protects them.

2469
01:58:05,800 --> 01:58:10,600
Speaker 1: Why is that? Basically because I've been a Bills Fansy's birth.

2470
01:58:10,680 --> 01:58:13,440
Speaker 1: And I've noticed that it's just an ongoing thing year

2471
01:58:13,480 --> 01:58:15,440
Speaker 1: after year that the offensive light, no matter who we

2472
01:58:15,520 --> 01:58:18,200
Speaker 1: have on the line, it just follows apart. And I

2473
01:58:18,240 --> 01:58:22,720
Speaker 1: don't I don't get why. I really don't. Well, did

2474
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:24,920
Speaker 1: you think did you think the offensive line fell apart

2475
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:26,960
Speaker 1: two or three years ago when they led the league

2476
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:31,320
Speaker 1: in rushing. No, I think they did a good job then,

2477
01:58:31,440 --> 01:58:33,800
Speaker 1: but they still didn't get the quarterback really any any

2478
01:58:33,880 --> 01:58:37,520
Speaker 1: time to make a choice to throw the ball. Well, yeah,

2479
01:58:37,880 --> 01:58:40,640
Speaker 1: well yeah, I probably I'll probably take issue with you

2480
01:58:40,720 --> 01:58:42,680
Speaker 1: on that, Sam. I think I think that was as

2481
01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:45,240
Speaker 1: much and I think that's why that quarterback's not here anymore,

2482
01:58:45,520 --> 01:58:48,320
Speaker 1: and that offensive line would have been had they stayed

2483
01:58:48,360 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: healthy and intact. But um, yeah, I don't know. I say,

2484
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:53,920
Speaker 1: I get what you're saying, Sam, And there's no question

2485
01:58:54,000 --> 01:58:56,280
Speaker 1: the offensive The offense is only going to be as

2486
01:58:56,320 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 1: successful as the offensive line can play well, and there's

2487
01:59:00,240 --> 01:59:02,120
Speaker 1: no doubt about it, and the quarterback success is going

2488
01:59:02,200 --> 01:59:04,640
Speaker 1: to be directly a result of that. But I do

2489
01:59:04,840 --> 01:59:07,520
Speaker 1: think that you don't have to have the absolute best

2490
01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:10,840
Speaker 1: offensive line in the National Football League to be successful offensively.

2491
01:59:11,520 --> 01:59:13,920
Speaker 1: Nobody talked about how great the offensive line of the

2492
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:15,520
Speaker 1: Rams was last year and they had the number one

2493
01:59:15,520 --> 01:59:19,640
Speaker 1: offense in the league. It does help. They can't they

2494
01:59:19,720 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: can't be falling all over themselves. We all know that.

2495
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,960
Speaker 1: But I don't think that. And I get the questions

2496
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:28,480
Speaker 1: that are coming from because of the preseason, but I

2497
01:59:28,600 --> 01:59:32,600
Speaker 1: don't think this offensive line is going to fall into

2498
01:59:32,720 --> 01:59:35,760
Speaker 1: that into that category. No question. They struggled in the

2499
01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:40,400
Speaker 1: preseason at times, and there are good reasons for that

2500
01:59:41,240 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 1: because of the shuffling and the things they were trying

2501
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:45,680
Speaker 1: to find out about the players they had. And I

2502
01:59:45,760 --> 01:59:48,360
Speaker 1: don't mean trying to find out how bad they were.

2503
01:59:49,160 --> 01:59:51,080
Speaker 1: They had some guys, they had some roles they needed

2504
01:59:51,120 --> 01:59:52,520
Speaker 1: to fill, and they want to see who could do that.

2505
01:59:52,600 --> 01:59:56,640
Speaker 1: Thanks for your call, Sam. Let's go to Dave and Buffalo. Hello, Dave, welcome. Hey,

2506
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:01,920
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? Okay? Good? First time great? Uh.

2507
02:00:02,240 --> 02:00:04,960
Speaker 1: What I'd like to know is O'Leary what he is?

2508
02:00:05,000 --> 02:00:09,640
Speaker 1: Such a tremendously good camp. I think it's gonna come

2509
02:00:09,680 --> 02:00:11,720
Speaker 1: around and maybe bite him. I'd like to know if

2510
02:00:11,760 --> 02:00:14,360
Speaker 1: you don't have any input on what happened to him. Well,

2511
02:00:14,400 --> 02:00:16,800
Speaker 1: we talked about a little bit yesterday Dave and one

2512
02:00:16,840 --> 02:00:19,160
Speaker 1: of the reasons we came up with the guys that

2513
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:22,400
Speaker 1: they kept over him in Kroome, in Logan Thomas, and

2514
02:00:22,520 --> 02:00:27,920
Speaker 1: in Kyrie Lee. Uh, they're all much more fat, they're faster,

2515
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:31,320
Speaker 1: they're better athletes. Uh, no question that you get. You

2516
02:00:31,440 --> 02:00:35,040
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get with with Nico Leary. And

2517
02:00:35,320 --> 02:00:37,360
Speaker 1: one of the interesting things about it, and you can

2518
02:00:37,400 --> 02:00:41,160
Speaker 1: equate it a little bit to Nathan Peterman and Josh Allen. Uh,

2519
02:00:41,320 --> 02:00:43,600
Speaker 1: they kept the tight ends that all fit the Josh

2520
02:00:43,680 --> 02:00:46,520
Speaker 1: Allen description of being big, physically gifted that can bit

2521
02:00:46,600 --> 02:00:48,520
Speaker 1: with the big arm, you know, and the tight ends

2522
02:00:48,520 --> 02:00:51,240
Speaker 1: that they kept are big, fast athletes who can get

2523
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:54,920
Speaker 1: open and outrun people. Nico O'Leary is the guy like

2524
02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:57,120
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman. He's gonna get the ball out on time,

2525
02:00:57,160 --> 02:00:58,880
Speaker 1: He's gonna be where he's supposed to be. He's gonna

2526
02:00:58,880 --> 02:01:00,400
Speaker 1: try and do all the right things, but you're gonna

2527
02:01:00,400 --> 02:01:02,760
Speaker 1: have to support him with a cast around him to

2528
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:07,640
Speaker 1: make him really good. Nicole Leary is dependable. He's a smart,

2529
02:01:08,160 --> 02:01:11,040
Speaker 1: mistake free player, but he's not going to win games

2530
02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:12,440
Speaker 1: for you, and he's not gonna win a one on

2531
02:01:12,560 --> 02:01:15,000
Speaker 1: one battle. So I think that's the reason the other

2532
02:01:15,160 --> 02:01:18,200
Speaker 1: tight ends made it. They were just much better athletes

2533
02:01:18,280 --> 02:01:20,520
Speaker 1: than Nicole Leary was squeezing one more call here, Mark

2534
02:01:20,600 --> 02:01:24,240
Speaker 1: and Rochester. Go ahead, Mark, Welcome to the show. Yeah, hey, guys,

2535
02:01:24,280 --> 02:01:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm a big fan of both of yours than I thought.

2536
02:01:29,720 --> 02:01:34,240
Speaker 1: It really refreshing, Steve when you mentioned earlier about John Gruden,

2537
02:01:35,120 --> 02:01:37,800
Speaker 1: about how he took somebody else's team and won a

2538
02:01:37,840 --> 02:01:40,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl and how he's been kind of going downhill

2539
02:01:40,200 --> 02:01:43,440
Speaker 1: as a coach ever since. I've been waiting for somebody

2540
02:01:43,520 --> 02:01:46,760
Speaker 1: to say that, because I believe that Bruden and Mike

2541
02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:50,320
Speaker 1: Shanahan are two of the most overrated coaches ever in

2542
02:01:50,400 --> 02:01:54,120
Speaker 1: the NFL. Shanahan took Dad and Reads team in Denver

2543
02:01:54,280 --> 02:01:57,360
Speaker 1: and won a couple of Super Bowls, and Gruden did

2544
02:01:57,440 --> 02:02:00,600
Speaker 1: the same thing in Tampa. I mean, Dungee's right, I

2545
02:02:00,720 --> 02:02:03,960
Speaker 1: want to Super Bowl for crying out loud. Gruden had

2546
02:02:04,000 --> 02:02:07,600
Speaker 1: Dungee's lineup right, right right? Oh yeah? Is that? Yeah?

2547
02:02:08,040 --> 02:02:11,200
Speaker 1: Right right? And Tony Dodge he ended up going to

2548
02:02:11,320 --> 02:02:13,600
Speaker 1: indian and winning a Super Bowl on his own, which

2549
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:17,840
Speaker 1: I was really happy for him. Yeah, right, yeah, I

2550
02:02:18,160 --> 02:02:21,480
Speaker 1: think I think you're right about that. Look Gruden is

2551
02:02:21,520 --> 02:02:24,880
Speaker 1: a good personality and a smart guy and as has

2552
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:27,600
Speaker 1: been great on TV. But he's being tested now and

2553
02:02:28,160 --> 02:02:30,160
Speaker 1: based on the Khalil mac Trede and his role in that,

2554
02:02:30,280 --> 02:02:31,800
Speaker 1: you'd have to say that the test is not going

2555
02:02:31,880 --> 02:02:33,640
Speaker 1: so well for him. And they hired him to coach

2556
02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:35,600
Speaker 1: that team. But one of the things that where his

2557
02:02:35,720 --> 02:02:37,520
Speaker 1: weakness is the last time he was a head coach

2558
02:02:37,600 --> 02:02:39,480
Speaker 1: was the ability to build a team. And he's in

2559
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:41,320
Speaker 1: a place in Oakland right now where he's got to

2560
02:02:41,360 --> 02:02:44,160
Speaker 1: build that roster. Reggie McKenzie had a plan, was going

2561
02:02:44,200 --> 02:02:45,920
Speaker 1: along with and he got that team to the point

2562
02:02:45,960 --> 02:02:47,600
Speaker 1: with Jack del Rio as head coach that they were

2563
02:02:47,640 --> 02:02:49,880
Speaker 1: on the cusp of doing something with the talent they had.

2564
02:02:50,360 --> 02:02:52,920
Speaker 1: And now through a series of events and now John

2565
02:02:52,960 --> 02:02:57,280
Speaker 1: Gruden coming in as a head coach, they're gonna looks

2566
02:02:57,320 --> 02:03:01,600
Speaker 1: like they're starting over. And John Grew is a great

2567
02:03:01,840 --> 02:03:04,200
Speaker 1: x is and oh guy, he's a great offensive mind.

2568
02:03:04,840 --> 02:03:08,760
Speaker 1: I don't think he is a roster builder, and that's

2569
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:10,400
Speaker 1: I think what needs to be done in Oakland. So

2570
02:03:10,480 --> 02:03:12,280
Speaker 1: I think if he gets it done, it will be

2571
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I think to me it'll be a surprising accomplishment for

2572
02:03:15,200 --> 02:03:17,560
Speaker 1: him because I haven't seen him do it before. How

2573
02:03:17,600 --> 02:03:20,040
Speaker 1: many games is Nathan Peterman start this year? We'll take

2574
02:03:20,040 --> 02:03:23,080
Speaker 1: your calls, will entertain your thoughts on that eighth three

2575
02:03:23,280 --> 02:03:26,320
Speaker 1: fifty toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two

2576
02:03:26,400 --> 02:03:30,320
Speaker 1: five fifty changing topics. A little bit just released by

2577
02:03:30,360 --> 02:03:33,280
Speaker 1: the Bills. On the Bills, a Twitter site introducing the

2578
02:03:33,360 --> 02:03:36,840
Speaker 1: twenty eighteen Buffalo Bills captains. They have six of them,

2579
02:03:37,000 --> 02:03:41,240
Speaker 1: two from offense, two from defense too. From special teams.

2580
02:03:42,000 --> 02:03:44,720
Speaker 1: They've got Taiwan Jones, as I would think a special

2581
02:03:44,760 --> 02:03:47,360
Speaker 1: team's captain will be your return man. Kyle Williams is

2582
02:03:47,400 --> 02:03:50,240
Speaker 1: back for another year as a captain. Stephen Haushka was

2583
02:03:50,280 --> 02:03:52,760
Speaker 1: a captain last year, another captain, another time as a

2584
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:55,880
Speaker 1: captain this year on special teams. Lorenzo Alexander, who'll be

2585
02:03:55,920 --> 02:03:58,200
Speaker 1: with us on Friday. He is a Buffalo Bills captain

2586
02:03:58,280 --> 02:04:00,760
Speaker 1: this year. Lashawan McCoy is a I believe it's the

2587
02:04:00,760 --> 02:04:03,760
Speaker 1: first time for him at least in Buffalo. And Patrick DeMarco,

2588
02:04:03,920 --> 02:04:06,960
Speaker 1: fullback is a Buffalo Bills captain. The twenty eighteen Bill's

2589
02:04:07,000 --> 02:04:10,400
Speaker 1: captain's U named today and he thought, Steve, how did

2590
02:04:10,400 --> 02:04:12,720
Speaker 1: you guys do captains? Did you game by game or

2591
02:04:12,760 --> 02:04:14,320
Speaker 1: did you do him for the entire season? Do you

2592
02:04:14,400 --> 02:04:15,880
Speaker 1: remember you look like you got a plank with I

2593
02:04:15,920 --> 02:04:19,400
Speaker 1: can't remember. I was a captain for a while. Um,

2594
02:04:20,320 --> 02:04:23,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, all right, now you've immediately led

2595
02:04:23,640 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 1: to this question. It's not that important too the captains. Well,

2596
02:04:26,200 --> 02:04:29,320
Speaker 1: it's not hockey where the captains to play the parties

2597
02:04:29,360 --> 02:04:31,960
Speaker 1: and yeah you know, oh the captain, But it is,

2598
02:04:32,520 --> 02:04:34,560
Speaker 1: it is important now. I think it says something about

2599
02:04:34,560 --> 02:04:37,240
Speaker 1: the guys the team looks to and respects because of

2600
02:04:37,280 --> 02:04:38,800
Speaker 1: their work ethic and the kind of guy they are,

2601
02:04:38,880 --> 02:04:40,440
Speaker 1: the kind of teammate they are. I think it says

2602
02:04:40,480 --> 02:04:45,240
Speaker 1: something about who has a strong voice and who's respected

2603
02:04:45,280 --> 02:04:47,360
Speaker 1: in the locker room. It does say something about those

2604
02:04:47,400 --> 02:04:49,240
Speaker 1: players who get elected cat and I do you think

2605
02:04:49,600 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 1: maybe more similar to McDermott, I would think, because um,

2606
02:04:52,800 --> 02:04:56,520
Speaker 1: he's always talking about internal leadership and internal veteran leadership

2607
02:04:56,680 --> 02:04:58,840
Speaker 1: with those six kind of represent that Oh yeah, that's

2608
02:04:58,960 --> 02:05:02,760
Speaker 1: and those are the guys he's absolutely absolutely you you

2609
02:05:02,880 --> 02:05:06,840
Speaker 1: could have there may be two or three guys on

2610
02:05:06,960 --> 02:05:10,120
Speaker 1: that roster that you could probably throw into that group

2611
02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,560
Speaker 1: and be okay, But it's coming out those guys are

2612
02:05:12,600 --> 02:05:14,840
Speaker 1: in any group of leaders you pull out of that

2613
02:05:14,920 --> 02:05:17,640
Speaker 1: locker room. Yeah you could. You could Bill's fans here.

2614
02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:21,480
Speaker 1: You could have picked those six guys pretty easily and said, Wow,

2615
02:05:21,520 --> 02:05:24,200
Speaker 1: those are good. And I think I wouldn't. Leshaun McCoy.

2616
02:05:24,240 --> 02:05:25,720
Speaker 1: I think it's maybe a little bit of a surprise

2617
02:05:25,760 --> 02:05:28,840
Speaker 1: on Jones. Not really. Taiwan Jones is a guy who

2618
02:05:29,000 --> 02:05:33,560
Speaker 1: plays as hardcore special Teams, and you know, given the

2619
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:38,000
Speaker 1: changeover that's happened this year, Um, you know Rod Streeter's

2620
02:05:38,040 --> 02:05:41,640
Speaker 1: not around. Um now, I think that doesn't surprise me

2621
02:05:41,680 --> 02:05:45,440
Speaker 1: at all, all right now. NFL True or false brought

2622
02:05:45,480 --> 02:05:48,440
Speaker 1: to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's artists in Cheese

2623
02:05:48,520 --> 02:05:51,320
Speaker 1: True false questions around the league Typically Steve and I

2624
02:05:51,480 --> 02:05:54,000
Speaker 1: kind of talk about him a little bit. Number one

2625
02:05:54,360 --> 02:05:57,280
Speaker 1: true or false. The failure to keep Khalil Mack for

2626
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:00,760
Speaker 1: the Raiders falls on John Gruden. True false. I'm gonna

2627
02:06:00,760 --> 02:06:03,440
Speaker 1: say true based on what our guest Vic Tayfer had

2628
02:06:03,480 --> 02:06:05,800
Speaker 1: to say earlier today, based on everything I've read, based

2629
02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:08,000
Speaker 1: on the way you kind of sense that that Raider's

2630
02:06:08,800 --> 02:06:11,160
Speaker 1: decision making group is made up. Yeah, this is a

2631
02:06:11,240 --> 02:06:14,080
Speaker 1: Gruden thing. I don't get it. I don't understand. I

2632
02:06:14,160 --> 02:06:16,000
Speaker 1: don't think it was his decision along, but I don't

2633
02:06:16,040 --> 02:06:18,880
Speaker 1: get what he missed to think that it'd be okay

2634
02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:22,000
Speaker 1: to keep Khalil Mack. I think they'll pay him. They'll

2635
02:06:22,000 --> 02:06:24,400
Speaker 1: pay dearly for that one. Steve, Absolutely, I think it's

2636
02:06:24,880 --> 02:06:26,960
Speaker 1: all John Gruden's call. If he wanted to pay him,

2637
02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:28,600
Speaker 1: they would have found a way to do it, and

2638
02:06:29,080 --> 02:06:33,080
Speaker 1: he opted not to. There's no way Khalil Mack was

2639
02:06:33,160 --> 02:06:35,720
Speaker 1: in any jeopardy of doing anything other than being a

2640
02:06:35,840 --> 02:06:37,880
Speaker 1: Raider until John Gruden got there, So I think he

2641
02:06:38,000 --> 02:06:39,640
Speaker 1: got to lay this right at the feet of John Gruden.

2642
02:06:39,760 --> 02:06:42,440
Speaker 1: Is a philosophical decision. Doesn't mean John Gruden doesn't know

2643
02:06:42,880 --> 02:06:45,680
Speaker 1: doesn't know that Khalil Mack is a fantastic football player,

2644
02:06:45,960 --> 02:06:48,680
Speaker 1: or even dislikes him. But John Gruden has a way

2645
02:06:48,760 --> 02:06:52,240
Speaker 1: that he wants to do this, and and circumstances have

2646
02:06:52,320 --> 02:06:54,240
Speaker 1: come about where they're gonna they're gonna break away from

2647
02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:56,200
Speaker 1: it and go down a different paths. So I think

2648
02:06:56,240 --> 02:06:58,360
Speaker 1: it's all on the head coach, all right. Number two

2649
02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:02,480
Speaker 1: NFL true or false Steelers should be worried about Laby

2650
02:07:02,520 --> 02:07:05,440
Speaker 1: On Bell's absence. We had the story. In the update,

2651
02:07:06,880 --> 02:07:09,440
Speaker 1: the GM sounded a little worried. The teammates said, he'll

2652
02:07:09,480 --> 02:07:11,400
Speaker 1: be here Wednesday, don't worry about it, he'll be here tomorrow.

2653
02:07:14,280 --> 02:07:15,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say yes. I think they should be a

2654
02:07:16,000 --> 02:07:17,640
Speaker 1: little bit worried. I don't think it's a make or

2655
02:07:17,680 --> 02:07:20,720
Speaker 1: break thing for Pittsburgh season, but look, he is one

2656
02:07:20,800 --> 02:07:22,560
Speaker 1: of their key guys, right, one of their top three

2657
02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:26,040
Speaker 1: guys missing. I know he's done it before. I understand that,

2658
02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:28,040
Speaker 1: but can you keep getting away with that? Laby On

2659
02:07:28,120 --> 02:07:30,280
Speaker 1: Bell doesn't show up yesterday, really, first day of this

2660
02:07:30,720 --> 02:07:33,600
Speaker 1: longer practice week, Steelers should be worried, I would think, yes,

2661
02:07:33,680 --> 02:07:36,280
Speaker 1: a little bit true. I'm gonna go through it. I'm

2662
02:07:36,280 --> 02:07:41,080
Speaker 1: gonna stay false just because not yet tomorrow. If he

2663
02:07:41,080 --> 02:07:43,600
Speaker 1: doesn't show up tomorrow, then yeah, then I'm worried. But

2664
02:07:43,680 --> 02:07:46,320
Speaker 1: today I'm not, and I have no reason. And there's

2665
02:07:46,440 --> 02:07:48,920
Speaker 1: rumblings coming out already that this is what they expect

2666
02:07:48,960 --> 02:07:51,480
Speaker 1: to happen. His teammates expect him to come in on

2667
02:07:51,640 --> 02:07:53,600
Speaker 1: ready for to put in a full game week before

2668
02:07:53,680 --> 02:07:57,000
Speaker 1: Week one. So no, today, I don't worry Tomorrow I

2669
02:07:57,120 --> 02:07:59,840
Speaker 1: do finally, NFL true or false, this is a very

2670
02:08:00,000 --> 02:08:02,720
Speaker 1: interesting one. Ched Kelly, the Western New York native, obviously

2671
02:08:02,840 --> 02:08:05,960
Speaker 1: now in positions at Denver as the second quarterback, went

2672
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:08,480
Speaker 1: from practice squad right a year ago to number two,

2673
02:08:09,040 --> 02:08:12,840
Speaker 1: and the supposition here to her false, only Chad Kelly

2674
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:17,240
Speaker 1: now can save John Elway's reputation as a quarterback evaluator.

2675
02:08:17,440 --> 02:08:21,480
Speaker 1: True false. What do you think? I think that's false?

2676
02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:24,200
Speaker 1: I was talking, we talked about earlier. This is the

2677
02:08:24,280 --> 02:08:27,840
Speaker 1: Paxson Lynch brock Osweiler debate as well. John Elway put

2678
02:08:27,920 --> 02:08:29,840
Speaker 1: both those guys on this roster. Neither one of them

2679
02:08:29,920 --> 02:08:33,600
Speaker 1: worked out. Just because Chad Kelly works out or doesn't

2680
02:08:33,640 --> 02:08:36,040
Speaker 1: work out, John Elway picked up. Remember Chad Kelly was

2681
02:08:36,080 --> 02:08:38,080
Speaker 1: mister irrelevant. He's there the last pick of the draft. Yes,

2682
02:08:39,720 --> 02:08:42,280
Speaker 1: but he's now their backup quarterback. And the fact that

2683
02:08:43,080 --> 02:08:46,240
Speaker 1: John Elway got him with the seventh pick, the last

2684
02:08:46,280 --> 02:08:50,080
Speaker 1: pick of that draft, and he outperformed Paxson Lynch and

2685
02:08:51,760 --> 02:08:55,680
Speaker 1: ostensibly brock Oswyler as well. No, I mean I think

2686
02:08:55,720 --> 02:08:58,160
Speaker 1: the guy that is the key is the guy taking

2687
02:08:58,240 --> 02:09:01,000
Speaker 1: snaps Case Keenum. Yes, that's the guy. He's the guy

2688
02:09:01,080 --> 02:09:03,560
Speaker 1: that is not Chad Kelly. It's it's Case Keenham. Now,

2689
02:09:03,600 --> 02:09:06,840
Speaker 1: if Chad Kelly takes over for Case Keenham, which in

2690
02:09:06,960 --> 02:09:11,680
Speaker 1: this moment today I'm predicting he will really yeah, uh soon.

2691
02:09:13,040 --> 02:09:16,360
Speaker 1: I don't think Case Keenam finishes the season as their starter. Wow,

2692
02:09:16,600 --> 02:09:19,080
Speaker 1: I think I think Chad Kelly is in the game,

2693
02:09:19,120 --> 02:09:20,680
Speaker 1: and I think he's gonna I think he's gonna play

2694
02:09:20,720 --> 02:09:23,840
Speaker 1: well for them. Um so does Alway get a pass? Well,

2695
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:27,000
Speaker 1: you know, no, he doesn't get Lynch. But look at

2696
02:09:27,000 --> 02:09:29,240
Speaker 1: that seventh round pick. Yeah, who's starting now? Is that

2697
02:09:29,440 --> 02:09:32,480
Speaker 1: enough to get Elway off the hook? Off the listen?

2698
02:09:32,560 --> 02:09:35,960
Speaker 1: If they if they're winning, listen, John always the guy

2699
02:09:36,000 --> 02:09:38,280
Speaker 1: that lurd Peyton Manning there and got those guys to

2700
02:09:38,400 --> 02:09:41,640
Speaker 1: a Super Bowl with Peyton Manning who couldn't throw a

2701
02:09:41,800 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: ping pong ball across the room. Yeah, he gets a pass. Okay,

2702
02:09:46,600 --> 02:09:49,360
Speaker 1: he is John Elway after all. If there's a reason

2703
02:09:49,440 --> 02:09:51,920
Speaker 1: he's John Elway, he's John Elway because he was a

2704
02:09:51,960 --> 02:09:54,600
Speaker 1: great player. He is he a good general manager. They

2705
02:09:54,680 --> 02:09:57,920
Speaker 1: won a couple of Super Bowls. Can only Chad Kelly

2706
02:09:57,960 --> 02:10:01,160
Speaker 1: can save Alway's reputation. I think Keenan has a lot

2707
02:10:01,200 --> 02:10:02,640
Speaker 1: more to do with that. False As far as the

2708
02:10:02,680 --> 02:10:05,360
Speaker 1: reputation NFL true or False. Brought to you by Yancey's

2709
02:10:05,400 --> 02:10:07,400
Speaker 1: Fancy New York's artist and Gee Steve and I back

2710
02:10:07,440 --> 02:10:09,480
Speaker 1: with more in a moment One Bills Live from One

2711
02:10:09,520 --> 02:10:28,040
Speaker 1: Bill's Drive on Buffalo Bill's Radio. What can we learn

2712
02:10:28,120 --> 02:10:30,200
Speaker 1: in today's show. It's brought to you by Advanced Alarm,

2713
02:10:30,280 --> 02:10:33,000
Speaker 1: providing Western New York's homes and businesses with the finest

2714
02:10:33,040 --> 02:10:35,600
Speaker 1: and security and home theater. He preferred Alarm and home

2715
02:10:35,640 --> 02:10:37,680
Speaker 1: theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. Peter King joined the

2716
02:10:37,760 --> 02:10:39,280
Speaker 1: City will be with us every Tuesday now for the

2717
02:10:39,320 --> 02:10:41,800
Speaker 1: regular season. He talked about the Bill's decision to go

2718
02:10:41,880 --> 02:10:46,400
Speaker 1: with Nathan Peterman as their starter this Sunday. I thought,

2719
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:49,480
Speaker 1: after the Cincinnati preseason game, I thought that was a

2720
02:10:49,880 --> 02:10:55,640
Speaker 1: startling first half to watch, and what I saw in

2721
02:10:55,800 --> 02:10:58,520
Speaker 1: that I had had halftime. I said, the Bills can't

2722
02:10:58,640 --> 02:11:01,640
Speaker 1: start Josh Allen. You know, they got to start either

2723
02:11:01,720 --> 02:11:06,240
Speaker 1: mccaren or Peterman because you can't put your rookie quarterback

2724
02:11:06,920 --> 02:11:10,760
Speaker 1: behind an offensive line that either had a bad day

2725
02:11:11,080 --> 02:11:14,320
Speaker 1: or stinx. I mean, you just can't do it. So

2726
02:11:14,720 --> 02:11:18,680
Speaker 1: I looked at it in that on that day and said,

2727
02:11:19,320 --> 02:11:21,880
Speaker 1: you know Josh Allen needs not only to learn a

2728
02:11:21,920 --> 02:11:24,720
Speaker 1: little bit more to learn to especially to get the

2729
02:11:24,800 --> 02:11:27,960
Speaker 1: ball out quicker. But I also think you don't want

2730
02:11:27,960 --> 02:11:29,640
Speaker 1: to put him in harm's way like that. I think

2731
02:11:29,680 --> 02:11:32,080
Speaker 1: the Bills make the right call. Peter King talking about

2732
02:11:32,080 --> 02:11:34,360
Speaker 1: the decision to start to Nathan Peterman. Also on the show,

2733
02:11:34,360 --> 02:11:37,520
Speaker 1: we talked about Khalil Mack traded away from Oakland to Chicago.

2734
02:11:37,600 --> 02:11:39,440
Speaker 1: Over the weekend, we talked with Vic Tafer of the

2735
02:11:39,520 --> 02:11:42,760
Speaker 1: Athletic website covering the Raiders, and you talk about the

2736
02:11:42,880 --> 02:11:47,240
Speaker 1: Raiders decision to trade away Kalil Mack. I talked to

2737
02:11:47,360 --> 02:11:50,000
Speaker 1: Relegid McKenzie and John Gordon the last few days. NICETI,

2738
02:11:50,160 --> 02:11:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm scritch Mahad too. I don't know I understand it.

2739
02:11:52,440 --> 02:11:55,280
Speaker 1: I think my take is a panicked I think they

2740
02:11:56,200 --> 02:11:59,040
Speaker 1: didn't really have a plan, you know, to match it

2741
02:11:59,240 --> 02:12:01,520
Speaker 1: or to have the money hum wanted to get. I

2742
02:12:01,640 --> 02:12:04,320
Speaker 1: think they didn't weren't proactive enough over the last couple

2743
02:12:04,360 --> 02:12:06,680
Speaker 1: of years, and they're kind of started taking trade offers

2744
02:12:06,720 --> 02:12:08,640
Speaker 1: and they reached the point I think on Friday night,

2745
02:12:09,040 --> 02:12:10,320
Speaker 1: but they kind of saying, you know what if we

2746
02:12:10,400 --> 02:12:13,080
Speaker 1: could offer two first round picks. We're gonna do it,

2747
02:12:13,240 --> 02:12:15,880
Speaker 1: and the Bears. The Bears jumped into you know, which

2748
02:12:15,960 --> 02:12:18,360
Speaker 1: is a smart move. And you gotta I think a

2749
02:12:18,440 --> 02:12:21,120
Speaker 1: future Hall of Fame player in his prime, which is uh.

2750
02:12:21,400 --> 02:12:24,000
Speaker 1: I can I can recall made teams trading guys like that.

2751
02:12:24,800 --> 02:12:27,960
Speaker 1: You don't get that much, Steve, and we know we're

2752
02:12:28,040 --> 02:12:29,760
Speaker 1: looking at a scratcher, and hey, why would the Raiders

2753
02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:32,200
Speaker 1: do that? Nobody written, very few of you have said

2754
02:12:32,240 --> 02:12:34,480
Speaker 1: the same for Chicago. Gave up. You gave up two

2755
02:12:34,480 --> 02:12:36,120
Speaker 1: first round picks. You're paying him a tons of money.

2756
02:12:36,520 --> 02:12:39,320
Speaker 1: That's what you do for great players, for like lifetime

2757
02:12:39,360 --> 02:12:42,040
Speaker 1: players like Khalil mac That's what you do. I think

2758
02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:46,120
Speaker 1: the most disturbing or concerning thing for Raiders fans is

2759
02:12:46,160 --> 02:12:47,720
Speaker 1: the fact that you got a guy that covers them.

2760
02:12:47,800 --> 02:12:51,200
Speaker 1: And just talk to John Gruden and Reggie McKenzie over

2761
02:12:51,240 --> 02:12:53,600
Speaker 1: the last weekend over this thing, and he said, they

2762
02:12:53,640 --> 02:12:57,120
Speaker 1: had no plan. Yeah, they had no plan. They got

2763
02:12:57,200 --> 02:12:58,720
Speaker 1: they panic, they didn't know what they were gonna do,

2764
02:12:58,840 --> 02:13:01,440
Speaker 1: and they got backed in to a corner by circumstance

2765
02:13:01,760 --> 02:13:04,640
Speaker 1: and time and had to take the best deal they

2766
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:08,120
Speaker 1: could get. And it was, you know, it was It's crazy,

2767
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:10,920
Speaker 1: it's nuts, it doesn't make sense. So I think that's

2768
02:13:11,280 --> 02:13:12,880
Speaker 1: you talk. You can talk about all you want about

2769
02:13:12,920 --> 02:13:16,320
Speaker 1: the coaching staff here in Buffalo having this quote unquote process,

2770
02:13:16,400 --> 02:13:18,880
Speaker 1: and everybody kind of uses it a catch phrase. Listen,

2771
02:13:19,320 --> 02:13:21,560
Speaker 1: a plan is a plan, and it helps when things

2772
02:13:21,680 --> 02:13:24,200
Speaker 1: come down that you don't expect. On Twitter today, we

2773
02:13:24,280 --> 02:13:27,240
Speaker 1: asked you how many starts will Nathan Peterman get. Most

2774
02:13:27,280 --> 02:13:29,280
Speaker 1: of you think he's going to get somewhere between five

2775
02:13:29,400 --> 02:13:33,120
Speaker 1: and eight starts this season for the Buffalo Bills. Eight

2776
02:13:33,200 --> 02:13:35,400
Speaker 1: fifty percent of you say that, twenty seven percent say

2777
02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:38,240
Speaker 1: four or fewer, twenty three percent nine or more. Thanks
