1
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,760
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tesker who has been all over the fields.

2
00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:12,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: player for you, Steve a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:28,080
Speaker 1: the strato pere of normalcy here, all right, here we are.

5
00:00:28,520 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 1: It's Thursday. Don't tell Tracy I did that. Don't worry. Um,

6
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: We're here at Bill's training camp as usual, and we'll

7
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: get into the nuggets from practice today here on Thursday,

8
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:45,720
Speaker 1: the day prior to the return of the Blue and

9
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 1: Red at high Mark Stadium on Friday. All those tickets

10
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,680
Speaker 1: required for entry have been distributed at this point, so

11
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: if you've got a ticket, we'll look forward to seeing

12
00:00:55,720 --> 00:00:57,480
Speaker 1: you out there tomorrow. It's gonna be a lot of fun,

13
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: and we'll talk more about that a little bit later

14
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: on in the show. Well, yeah, it won't be chilly either,

15
00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,600
Speaker 1: but after a essentially yeah, all right, we're with you essentially.

16
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: Why do you not think we're quick on the uptake?

17
00:01:11,520 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: We're it's all registered, okay. Um, So, after what essentially

18
00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:20,399
Speaker 1: was a day off yesterday, all they had was a

19
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: walk a closed walk through. They go back in pads today.

20
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: Fourth straight practice in pads with the day off in between,

21
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 1: and um. The intensity had gotten ratcheted up pretty quickly.

22
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:37,039
Speaker 1: In the team setting, Stefon Diggs catches a short pass

23
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: Greg Russo, who dropped into it looked like he dropped

24
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: into coverage. He dropped off the line went to rake

25
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,200
Speaker 1: the ball out pretty much after the play was over.

26
00:01:48,680 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: Stefan did not take kindly to that. Greg. Greg Russo

27
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,600
Speaker 1: winds up and uses his eighty eight in to reach

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: to try to connect and somehow missus Diggs. And then

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 1: Diggs comes back and throws a punch at him. I

30
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 1: think he glanced his helmet, and then everybody piled in

31
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: after that. So I saw our friend Mike Catalana describe

32
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:11,799
Speaker 1: it as a skirmish. I would would I would label

33
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:15,280
Speaker 1: it that. Yeah, yeah, it's one of the It fell

34
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:17,520
Speaker 1: into those three categories. I said. It happened after the

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 1: play was completely over and one guy was done. The

36
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 1: other guy just did one last thing that got under

37
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:26,519
Speaker 1: the skin. And we've seen it a couple of times,

38
00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:28,839
Speaker 1: the guys who actually start to fight, like in this case,

39
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: Diggs and Rousseau, they were kind of done with it

40
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,800
Speaker 1: and then it kind of lingered for everybody else, right,

41
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:36,520
Speaker 1: I mean, Ed Oliver had it was like they were

42
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: like restraining at Oliver after it was all over. You know,

43
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,040
Speaker 1: I think they need to fight more so they get

44
00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 1: used to turn in and on and off. Speaking of

45
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:48,679
Speaker 1: Ed Oliver, he and his cohorts on the defensive interior,

46
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 1: another strong day from that group. And I know you

47
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: and I were talking about this on the sideline. I'm

48
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: just gonna say it. This defense is gonna be better

49
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,840
Speaker 1: than last year. You're not gonna be able to run

50
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,760
Speaker 1: on this team, and in long down and distance. If

51
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,239
Speaker 1: you can't run on them, you're probably not gonna be

52
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 1: able to pass very effectively on this team. This team look,

53
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:10,959
Speaker 1: and I know I started getting ahead of myself a

54
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 1: little bit because we haven't even played a preseason game yet,

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,240
Speaker 1: but we know the schedule. At the beginning of the year,

56
00:03:18,240 --> 00:03:21,880
Speaker 1: they're playing the Rams, the Titans, and the Dolphins out

57
00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 1: of the gate first three weeks. Those are I'm going

58
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,440
Speaker 1: to tell you three of the top five defenses they

59
00:03:28,440 --> 00:03:33,080
Speaker 1: will face the entire season, all in the first three weeks. Yeah,

60
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 1: it's if they're gonna win those games, it's gonna be

61
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: because the defense is the lights out. Everybody's talking about.

62
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, MVP candidate, high scoring offense. That's great. The

63
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,840
Speaker 1: defense is gonna win. Help this team win. If they're

64
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: gonna win all of these first three games, or even

65
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 1: two of the first three, I think would be a

66
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 1: victory with the caliber of opponents you're going against. Because

67
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: you've got three very good defenses there in the Rams, Titans,

68
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 1: and Dolphins. I think the Bills defense is gonna be

69
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: even better than those three, and I could see them

70
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: winning games these first three weeks, like twenty to ten,

71
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: sixteen to eight, you know, stuff like that's fun. It's

72
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 1: fun to think about the Bills picking up offensively where

73
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,960
Speaker 1: they left off last year. But they are playing the

74
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,520
Speaker 1: world champions with Aaron Donald and Jayden Ramsey and that

75
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,120
Speaker 1: crew and playing defense. It could be very well. That

76
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 1: opening night Thursday Night could be you know, a thirteen

77
00:04:22,920 --> 00:04:28,240
Speaker 1: ten game because of you know how these defense defenses play. Certainly,

78
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you. We've been watching these guys intently every day.

79
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: I am convinced his defense gonna be better, and certainly

80
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 1: up front they are going to be better. They are

81
00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 1: going to be better. We'll see what that translates into

82
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,599
Speaker 1: and what it looks like and how it's gonna force

83
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:52,040
Speaker 1: offenses and other their opponents to play them differently than

84
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 1: they did in twenty twenty one, and how that manifests

85
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,320
Speaker 1: itself in twenty twenty two, because you know, team, you're

86
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,880
Speaker 1: not playing in a vacuum. There's gonna be some teams

87
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: to score some points on you. What that's gonna look

88
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: like to me is gonna be the interesting thing about

89
00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,039
Speaker 1: this season because this is a different defense and they're

90
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,960
Speaker 1: gonna be stout up front, and their pass rush is

91
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: gonna be upgraded significantly. So I'm I'm really interesting. I'm

92
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 1: with you, Brownie. You and I have been watching these guys,

93
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: and you know, once again, they're playing against an offensive

94
00:05:22,440 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 1: line that has had some injuries and all of that,

95
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:28,679
Speaker 1: and you know, I get all of that, but it's different.

96
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 1: It's different, and it's gonna be fun to watch. Yeah,

97
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 1: And as you was stutely pointed out, that may not

98
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: be reflected in the league rankings that the defense is better,

99
00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: because hell, they were number one in about six different

100
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: categories last year. They may not be number one in

101
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,360
Speaker 1: all of a lot of those categories. I'm gonna tell

102
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:45,400
Speaker 1: you right now, they're gonna be top five and almost

103
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: all of them if this group stays healthy, I'm telling you, man,

104
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,520
Speaker 1: this defense is going to destroy people. Yeah, let's not forget.

105
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,040
Speaker 1: They've still got really good They got the same They've

106
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,760
Speaker 1: got the same coordinator over there. They didn't switch coordinators

107
00:05:57,760 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 1: over there, they got the same cast. You know, coaching

108
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 1: staff that has coordinated this defense extremely well over the

109
00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 1: past five years. Leslie Fraser is dialing it in. So um,

110
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:12,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to watch, you know this. Yeah,

111
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: they're gonna be a wrecking crew. Yeah, I agree. Matthew

112
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:17,800
Speaker 1: Stafford is not gonna know what hit him. Well, he's

113
00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:21,520
Speaker 1: gonna have people all in his lap. I just wait

114
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,120
Speaker 1: and see. I mean, I'm not gonna start defense. I'm

115
00:06:24,120 --> 00:06:26,560
Speaker 1: not going, but I think they're really gonna be good.

116
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 1: Speak speaking of the defense, we'll talk more about it

117
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,599
Speaker 1: with Bill's linebacker Matt Milano in about twenty minutes time.

118
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: We'll have him on the show fresh off the practice

119
00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: field from camp practice today. So we look forward to

120
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: that conversation. And we also got some news regarding some

121
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:48,839
Speaker 1: of the injured players on Buffalo's roster. First the good news,

122
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: Ryan Bates, back in the practice setting today, did not

123
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: get team reps, but was back practicing an individual position

124
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:58,279
Speaker 1: work and stuff like that. So he's working his way

125
00:06:58,279 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 1: back from an undisclosed injury. We don't even know what

126
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,880
Speaker 1: was ailing him. Tim Settle worked his way back into

127
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:08,320
Speaker 1: practice today too. He coming back from a slight groin ailment,

128
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 1: so good to see him back on the field. Jordan

129
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: Poyer gonna miss a couple of weeks according to head

130
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: coach Sean McDermott this morning, should be ready for Week

131
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,720
Speaker 1: one against the Rams. As has been previously reported, you

132
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: and I actually got a chance to talk briefly with

133
00:07:23,280 --> 00:07:25,960
Speaker 1: Jordan who was watching practice from the sidelines. It's got

134
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: a big old immobilizer cast on his left arm to

135
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: keep his hyper extended elbow in the proper place at

136
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: all times, twenty four hours a day. And remember when

137
00:07:38,440 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: we were saying the other day when we watched the

138
00:07:40,600 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 1: injury happen, that the pain did not seem to subside

139
00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: for him. That was shooting through his arm after he

140
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 1: took that shot, and as he was trying to go

141
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: walk to the locker room, he had to take a knee.

142
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:55,640
Speaker 1: And he said the reason why was the pain was

143
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:58,920
Speaker 1: so excruciating he almost passed out. He said he got lightheaded,

144
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: got lightheaded, Yeah, had to take a knee for a

145
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: second to get his bearings. We we knew because I

146
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: don't know if I've ever explained experienced pain. Yeah, but

147
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: you played, you played soccers. So even on the field,

148
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: you know, you get kicked or saying something else, you

149
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:15,000
Speaker 1: walk it off, even a bad injury, like you can

150
00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:16,680
Speaker 1: you can kind of like, okay, take a couple of

151
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: deep breaths, and it's gonna it's gonna be okay. It

152
00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: never have you could just tell it just kept hurting

153
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,120
Speaker 1: and hurting on Poilar and he couldn't get on top

154
00:08:24,160 --> 00:08:27,720
Speaker 1: of the pain. And uh, they actually he walked out

155
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:29,960
Speaker 1: of the after he took a knee, got up, gathered himself,

156
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:31,760
Speaker 1: they walked out and then he got into a cart

157
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: and they drove him over to the to the locker room.

158
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:37,520
Speaker 1: But you can tell even on in game day, if

159
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 1: you've ever been to a Bills game or any other game,

160
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 1: you see guys walk it off and that could even

161
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: that could be anything. Um, and it just wasn't happening

162
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: for Poil yesterday or day was it yesterday or day before?

163
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: And uh yeah, day before yesterday, we had a chance

164
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:55,000
Speaker 1: to just like you said, chit chat with him just

165
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: for a minute, and he he's standing around. I mean, yeah,

166
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,439
Speaker 1: it's okay. Now, yeah, well that's what he's Yet even

167
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,160
Speaker 1: after all that, he said, I'll be all right. Yeah,

168
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean it's a hyper extension. You let the thing

169
00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: calm down, and you know it should be good. Um.

170
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: The news not as good for Marquez Stevenson, who suffered

171
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the foot injury on Tuesday, and coach revealed to us

172
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,840
Speaker 1: this morning that he is going to be out multiple weeks.

173
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: And if you remember last year Steve, he also suffered

174
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,840
Speaker 1: a foot injury in a preseason game and then got

175
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:28,440
Speaker 1: ird by the team. Was either I R a pup,

176
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,920
Speaker 1: I can't remember either way he was. He was put

177
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: on a you know, non playing list after suffering the

178
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: foot injury. I don't know. We'll have to check if

179
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: we can find out if it's the same foot. You'll hope,

180
00:09:41,960 --> 00:09:44,120
Speaker 1: you'll almost hope it isn't, because you don't want a

181
00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: recurring thing previously, especially for a receiver, right like, because

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,120
Speaker 1: theater probably the last thing you want to hurt if

183
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 1: you If you injure the same foot again, it always

184
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: speaks to the fact that the next step you think

185
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: they're gonna say as well, he's gonna have to have

186
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: some surgery on or is he going to put a

187
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:00,800
Speaker 1: penance on that kind of thing. That not to say

188
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: that we're like predicting that or anything like that, but yeah,

189
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 1: when it's chronic, it's a problem. And but yeah, even

190
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,440
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott didn't know that if it was the same

191
00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 1: foot or not from a year ago. So we'll just

192
00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: wait and see on him. But he McDermott did say

193
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,319
Speaker 1: we're looking at weeks for him, so that that was

194
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:22,160
Speaker 1: an unfortunate intellation, no pun intended, but kind of a

195
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: tough break for him. Other non participant in practice was

196
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Greg Manns. I asked coach this morning, hey, did he

197
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: miss Tuesday's practice? Was that a VET day like a

198
00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:32,840
Speaker 1: rest day? And he said, no, he's dealing with something.

199
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: We did not get the specifics on exactly what that was,

200
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 1: but he set out a second straight practice with an

201
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 1: undisclosed injury as well. So the revolving door on the

202
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 1: offensive line unfortunately continues, although coach McDermott did say Steve

203
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:51,560
Speaker 1: that he anticipates Spencer Brown will be reinserted into the

204
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: team segments of practice here soon. My best guest would

205
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:59,719
Speaker 1: be maybe tomorrow, hopefully Monday by the latest, because we're

206
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: creep up on that first preseason game. You gotta get

207
00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,600
Speaker 1: some of these ones back into practice setting. Yeah, I mean,

208
00:11:05,640 --> 00:11:07,000
Speaker 1: not that they're gonna play a lot in the first

209
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 1: preseason game anyway, but yeah, well we'll see. I don't

210
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,160
Speaker 1: think it's a panic mode yet, and I don't even

211
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: think it's a concern yet, particularly given the lack of severity,

212
00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 1: or at least the good handle and history of seeing

213
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:23,960
Speaker 1: these before goes that. I mean, these athletic trainers and

214
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 1: even the players and stuff you get you know, some

215
00:11:25,800 --> 00:11:27,440
Speaker 1: ribs and stuff, you kind of have a really good

216
00:11:27,440 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: hand on how long it's going to take before the

217
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: guy can sleep, well take deep breaths without worrying about it,

218
00:11:33,520 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 1: you know, flex his core to you know, you know,

219
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,040
Speaker 1: contact all that stuff, and uh so they'll know exactly

220
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:42,440
Speaker 1: when they're gonna get them back, and once they get

221
00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: their minds around that, you know, they can set their

222
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: schedule accordingly. But like we said, this whole early part

223
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: of training camp has been one big opportunity because you've

224
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,319
Speaker 1: got so many guys that are top flight players. This

225
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 1: team sitting down or taking half reps or you know,

226
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: half their roadation of reps and just watching. Um, there's

227
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: been a lot of guys and including this entire draft

228
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: class that we spoke about yesterday, that have taken advantage

229
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: of it. And speaking of that draft class, Balin's Specter,

230
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: the last pick in the draft this year for the Bills,

231
00:12:17,080 --> 00:12:20,080
Speaker 1: comes up with a big interception to end a two

232
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:24,719
Speaker 1: minute drill drive by the third team offense and uh

233
00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 1: basically ends it right then and there with an interception

234
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:32,000
Speaker 1: over the middle. Nice grab by him away from it, right,

235
00:12:32,040 --> 00:12:35,359
Speaker 1: but it illustrates again here is the draft class flashing.

236
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:38,839
Speaker 1: Every single day one of those guys from the draft

237
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: class is doing something. Shakier had another ninety day today. Um.

238
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: The only guy that hasn't really flashed probably is Tanuda,

239
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: the tackle fas hard to flash, although he's been on

240
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,560
Speaker 1: the field a bunch. Yes, so we'll see. But yeah,

241
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 1: every that's you're right, Specter was the one that he

242
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 1: hadn't seen too much from yet. And you know, Boon,

243
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 1: no sooner do we say it than he up an

244
00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 1: end zone and a co a two minute drive with

245
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: a pick. Yeah, it's good. Ed Oliver just keeps racking

246
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 1: up the sacks here in training camp practice. I think

247
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,959
Speaker 1: he's had at least one every day. There's been two

248
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: or three days where he's had multiples. Shack Lawson had

249
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: a sack today, Jordan Phillips had a sack today. The

250
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:22,120
Speaker 1: sacks are coming fast and furious here, which is why

251
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Steve and I are so giddy about what we think

252
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,319
Speaker 1: this defense is going to be able to do this year.

253
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: They're just going to flat out shut people down. And

254
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:33,679
Speaker 1: it reminds me a little bit, Steve, of what we

255
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:37,120
Speaker 1: saw from the ninety nine Bills defense that finished number

256
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: one in the league. That's with Ted Washington, Phil Hanson

257
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Speaker 1: and Bruce upfront, John hollisc Sam Coward, Sam Rogers, Gabe Northern.

258
00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400
Speaker 1: I mean that's your front seven right there. Henry Jones

259
00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: was still in the secondary with Kurt Schultz, and then

260
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:53,959
Speaker 1: I think you had Thomas Smith still here. I believe

261
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: he was gone already to Chicago. Yeah, but command man.

262
00:14:02,160 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: That was a group, and Antoine Winfield was a rookie

263
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,080
Speaker 1: nickel Um heck of a group. Heck of a group,

264
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 1: and the big thing that stood out about them was

265
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: and obviously it was a different brand of football you

266
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:15,880
Speaker 1: were trying to run the ball a lot more back

267
00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,560
Speaker 1: you could not run the football on that team. They

268
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: finished third in the league and run defense first in

269
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:25,640
Speaker 1: the league in total defense. They're gonna be They're gonna

270
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: be hard to move the ball on on the ground

271
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: with these big fellas in the middle. And then you

272
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: get down to bad down and distance on second or

273
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:39,280
Speaker 1: third down. Von Miller's getting home, Dude, Like, yeah, he's

274
00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:41,400
Speaker 1: gonna be getting home. I mean, they do seem like

275
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: they've got Um, the ability in every facet of the

276
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 1: game could be really, really good. Um, you said it

277
00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: did start even with that ninety nine defense. It was

278
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,000
Speaker 1: number one. Nobody could run the ball on Ted Washington

279
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 1: when when he was in the game, he just it

280
00:14:57,800 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: was just he could just move to the point of

281
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: a town acts slide down and he'd never lost ground.

282
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: And he was I think in his seventeen year career

283
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:09,280
Speaker 1: he was never outside the top five in run defense.

284
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: His defense he was in the middle of He's just

285
00:15:11,720 --> 00:15:14,160
Speaker 1: a phenomenal athlete. Um. The only reason he's not in

286
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:16,040
Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame is because he didn't rush the

287
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:19,400
Speaker 1: passer well, which is it's too bad because he had

288
00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,880
Speaker 1: a Hall of Fame kind of career. And that's the

289
00:15:22,920 --> 00:15:25,000
Speaker 1: same way you look at this defense. There's gonna be

290
00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: some big bodies down inside, and it's gonna be hard

291
00:15:28,360 --> 00:15:31,160
Speaker 1: for the offense to push them out of the way

292
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: and make any room for these running backs. And you know,

293
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 1: so a lot of intriguing stuff going on with his defense.

294
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: You and I noticed it. Although, and having said that,

295
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: and how good they've been playing. The offense had a nice,

296
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: a nice short yardage day today out in the field

297
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:51,120
Speaker 1: where they were doing third and two somethings and they

298
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: were converting. The offense was doing really well third and two.

299
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,320
Speaker 1: You think, okay, it's an advantage offense. You kind of

300
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:01,920
Speaker 1: two yards is okay. But they did well. They executed

301
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 1: extremely well. There was also a live goal line period.

302
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 1: You know, the starters were in there early and then

303
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 1: they rotated some of the other units through and I

304
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: thought Duke Johnson ran really hard in between the tackles

305
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 1: at the goal line. I thought he ran real tough,

306
00:16:19,320 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 1: low to the ground. Liked what I saw from him.

307
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: And there was some good misdirection and trickery by the

308
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,200
Speaker 1: offense at times that was encouraging to see. They really

309
00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 1: had the defense fooled on a couple of plays, So

310
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,920
Speaker 1: that was encouraging knowing, you know, the guy that's making

311
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: the calls is gonna be doing this for the first

312
00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:42,640
Speaker 1: time on Sundays for real. So yeah, it was a

313
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: spirited goal line segment and you only see those once

314
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,880
Speaker 1: or twice a training camp. Always fun to see because

315
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,000
Speaker 1: that took me really start to hear pads popping and

316
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: guys digging in and really grinding that's right, that's right,

317
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,480
Speaker 1: And it's it's really kind of the first day too,

318
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 1: you where you know they were off for a day,

319
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: they came back and it really felt like a long, physical,

320
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 1: demanding practice. This was a big time the depths of

321
00:17:13,880 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 1: training camp kind of practice for me. I don't know

322
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:19,800
Speaker 1: if you noticed that. It just the guys were subdued

323
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 1: on the sidelines. Not much conversation going on, none of

324
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:26,040
Speaker 1: the helmet to helmet energetic like yeah I got you

325
00:17:26,080 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: on that play that none of that stuff going on.

326
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: As soon as the play was over, guys they were

327
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,439
Speaker 1: just walking back to the I mean a lot of

328
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,000
Speaker 1: body language that said yeah, okay, I'm enough of this.

329
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 1: It was it was a long practice and you can

330
00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:42,440
Speaker 1: really tell that at this point of training camp. They've

331
00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:44,560
Speaker 1: done a lot of work to this point. Yeah, some

332
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: quick news and notes before we get to Josh Allen,

333
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 1: who addressed the media after practice today. Don't know if

334
00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: you saw this. Steve Matthew Stafford Rams QB is not

335
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: going to be participating in team segments of practice for

336
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: now to a lingering elbow problem. That is a concern. Yeah,

337
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,920
Speaker 1: maybe not yet, but it will be pretty quickly. Yeah.

338
00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: I mean, first of all, he did not just so

339
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: everybody has it straight, he did not play a single

340
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:17,880
Speaker 1: snap in the preseason last year. That's a McVeigh thing.

341
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 1: How'd their season go last year? They did pretty well,

342
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: so I would anticipate much of the same, especially in

343
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: light of this ailment that he's dealing with. I don't

344
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:28,400
Speaker 1: know what it is, Steve, but it seems like those

345
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: older quarterbacks, you know, the elbow or the shoulder. I

346
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,720
Speaker 1: know when Jim got older, he used to like skip

347
00:18:34,720 --> 00:18:37,040
Speaker 1: practices late in the week to save himself up for

348
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,320
Speaker 1: game day, right his shoulder. Like that was when he

349
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 1: was pretty advanced in his career. He'd throw once a week,

350
00:18:42,880 --> 00:18:45,240
Speaker 1: you know, throw on Thursdays it's seven on seven or

351
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,520
Speaker 1: you know, on third down day and that was it.

352
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,920
Speaker 1: The hand off the rest of the week. And so

353
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,240
Speaker 1: Stafford is thirty. I think he turns thirty four this year.

354
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: So he's not a spring chicken. No, but he's had

355
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: some work done. Yeah, he had his shoulder worked on

356
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,800
Speaker 1: all of that. And we remember what happened to Roethlisberger.

357
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: He's just throwing a football and the elbow goes on him.

358
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,720
Speaker 1: Remember that a few years ago. That's right. So it's you.

359
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 1: You know, their antenna is up on this because they

360
00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: don't want to repeat what Roethlisberger did about three or

361
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: four years ago early in the season I think it

362
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: was the first week of the season he did, I

363
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:19,840
Speaker 1: think it was, and then he missed the rest of

364
00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:22,040
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, and he didn't want, in fact, and

365
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,200
Speaker 1: that's why he gave him one more year. He didn't

366
00:19:24,400 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: feel like he could quit going out like that. It's

367
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 1: always a concern the older you get, not only that

368
00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 1: you're more susceptible the injury. I don't know if that's

369
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 1: the case, but you you don't bounce back like that

370
00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: twenty two year old guy does. And the mileage you've

371
00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:42,800
Speaker 1: already got on you, and like I've I've said a

372
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: lot of times. Once you get into your thirties, and

373
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,920
Speaker 1: I can't speak to the quarterback position, although you've already

374
00:19:48,920 --> 00:19:53,560
Speaker 1: spoken about Jim being there. You training is important. I

375
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 1: mean this just in it's really important to be ready

376
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,800
Speaker 1: physically to play a long nflc That's why Brady is

377
00:20:00,840 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: still doing it because of all his training. Right. And

378
00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: if yes, but if you're nicked up and you're beat up,

379
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: and you've got sore shoulder, sore elbow, sore ankle, sore hip,

380
00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: your back's bad. You have to train in such a

381
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: way that you have to train around all those ailments

382
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 1: to get ready to play, and it becomes tedious plus

383
00:20:18,560 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: not as effective. Yeah, and so you spend you know,

384
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: you can't do this exercise anymore because it bothers your shoulder,

385
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 1: and you can't do that exercise because your knees hurt,

386
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: and you can't do that exercise because you know you're elbow.

387
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: You can't train they stay healthy. Now, you can't train

388
00:20:35,080 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 1: to stay healthy and to play your best. So it's

389
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 1: it's a you know, cascading effect because of the inability

390
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: to to push yourself to be better and stay strong

391
00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 1: and healthy. Uh. Some more news out of Cardinals camp,

392
00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: and I gotta tell you, when it rains, it pours.

393
00:20:54,840 --> 00:20:57,960
Speaker 1: I mean, you've had all the Kyler Murray stuff already. Mark,

394
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:03,000
Speaker 1: He's Hollywood. Brown was arrested in charge for criminal speeding. Um,

395
00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:07,560
Speaker 1: so that happened. And I saw this a couple of

396
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:10,760
Speaker 1: days ago. You know, everybody doesn't mind when a guy

397
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,680
Speaker 1: gets fired up, blows his stack and has a little

398
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: scrap with a teammate. Rookie offensive tackle Trevor Penning for

399
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,400
Speaker 1: the Saints, Steve he did it for a third consecutive

400
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 1: day yesterday and got kicked out of practice or tuesday.

401
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. Um, Dennis Allen, the head coach, is like, what, bro,

402
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: third day in a row? What are you doing? He's

403
00:21:33,480 --> 00:21:36,840
Speaker 1: just fighting everybody like there's a there's a law of

404
00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:40,360
Speaker 1: diminishing returns there, Like it happens once. Okay, your emotions

405
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,760
Speaker 1: got the best of you, and you know we're all good. Okay,

406
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: let's keep going with practice. Second day in a row,

407
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,520
Speaker 1: it's like second day, it's like, listen, learned something from

408
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: you. You You know you gotta start. And he's like, didn't

409
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:50,720
Speaker 1: the third but the third day in a row, Like

410
00:21:50,760 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 1: you're an idiot. Get the hell out of here. Exactly. Yeah,

411
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: so that's where exactly you're Trevor Penning, former college teammate

412
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: by the way of Spencer Brown. So yeah, we ever

413
00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 1: get Spencer and I'll have to ask him Trevor got

414
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: a screw loose or something? What's going on? But I'll

415
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,399
Speaker 1: say this too. Um, we we've been talking about it,

416
00:22:07,480 --> 00:22:09,280
Speaker 1: particularly here as they build a roster, you need some

417
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,600
Speaker 1: grit and your roster you need guys who are willing

418
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: to fight for the team. I mean literally on the

419
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: field if there's a scrap and like these, like these

420
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:17,959
Speaker 1: fights were seen in practice and all that, you need

421
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 1: a guy who is not afraid of that and who's

422
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,439
Speaker 1: up for that. And some of these guys get it

423
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: in their head that if they can be that guy,

424
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,560
Speaker 1: they they're going to prolong their chant time in camp,

425
00:22:26,600 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: even if they're not playing that well, if they can

426
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,560
Speaker 1: be that guy that was a first round pick like

427
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,359
Speaker 1: you're doing. Um, I get you. But that's that's the

428
00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: kind of the mentality. You get what I'm saying. Yes,

429
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,000
Speaker 1: quick quiz for you, what do you think the speed

430
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: of Marquis Goodwin's car was? I'll give I'll let you

431
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:44,400
Speaker 1: know it was in triple digits a sixty five mile

432
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:47,640
Speaker 1: per hour zone. Okay, sixty five, Okay, I would say

433
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:52,440
Speaker 1: one ten. He was doing one twenty six. Obviously he's

434
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:56,280
Speaker 1: not driving them. That falls under the heading criminal speeding.

435
00:22:57,359 --> 00:23:02,000
Speaker 1: Your speeding is criminal. Well, yeah, they're probably and I'll

436
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: say this too, the league at this current point in

437
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: time is probably very sensitive to those kind of things

438
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: because we have, you know, a player, the Las Vegas

439
00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,400
Speaker 1: player who Henry Russ, Henry Ruggs, who you know, kill

440
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:18,800
Speaker 1: a girl's dead because of it. So, um, yeah, the

441
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:22,640
Speaker 1: league and his career is over. Yeah, so that's it's

442
00:23:22,640 --> 00:23:25,359
Speaker 1: not smart. All right. We want to turn now to

443
00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: one Josh Allen, who addressed the media after practice today.

444
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: So here is the quarterback the ball going a little

445
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:36,040
Speaker 1: bit today? Um, last one I should care you talk

446
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 1: a little bit about Khalil and getting to know him

447
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: over the first job, Mark Hender. Yeah, I mean he's

448
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 1: done a pretty good job in terms of learn the offense.

449
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:48,639
Speaker 1: He's been switching up from Z to F. Um. Smart

450
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,160
Speaker 1: kid runs some really good routes. So it's it's good

451
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 1: to see him, you know, getting some reps with us

452
00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 1: and you know producing you know he's Uh, I'm excited

453
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:03,359
Speaker 1: about him. I really am sorry. Have you seen him

454
00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: handle getting switched around and to do that, well, stupid

455
00:24:07,280 --> 00:24:10,399
Speaker 1: rookie's got no choice, all right. All rookies are stupid

456
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:14,360
Speaker 1: rookies until proven otherwise. UM. I called Kaire two four

457
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: yesterday and he said some stuff about it, and he

458
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,800
Speaker 1: went right back to stupid rookie. He's not too happy

459
00:24:18,840 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 1: with that. But um no, he's again. He isn't complaining.

460
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:25,119
Speaker 1: He's just again trying to be on the field whatever

461
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 1: way he can. And again, we've got so many different

462
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:31,320
Speaker 1: um options right now in terms of guys that can

463
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:34,600
Speaker 1: play at a very high level. So he's just trying

464
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: to find a role right now. And he's done a,

465
00:24:36,520 --> 00:24:39,240
Speaker 1: like I said, a really good job of knowing what

466
00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:42,120
Speaker 1: he's doing, being able to be switched around. Someone needs

467
00:24:42,119 --> 00:24:44,920
Speaker 1: a gas, you know, a break, um, because they're gas

468
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 1: from running something. He's the first one in and he's

469
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,960
Speaker 1: been on top of his stuff in the meetings. He

470
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:53,639
Speaker 1: pays attention. UM. I can go on and on, I

471
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,760
Speaker 1: really can. Um, but he's gonna he's gonna help this team.

472
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,479
Speaker 1: First time we taught you since would happen last Saturday,

473
00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: pretty rare to see a quarterback mix it up like

474
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: you did with Jordan. He has kind of walked us

475
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 1: through what happened there, and you know what you're thinking,

476
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, talking about no again, tempers fives, first

477
00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:14,119
Speaker 1: day of pads, Camps Long. You know, Um, I was

478
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:17,159
Speaker 1: probably in the wrong there, but again, just trying to

479
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:19,160
Speaker 1: get some guys juiced up ready to go. It's football.

480
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:23,119
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so that's that's all it was. There's nothing

481
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 1: and um I got them a box of propy ones

482
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 1: for for pushing them. I felt bad, but you know,

483
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:29,800
Speaker 1: it's all in love. We're just out here trying to

484
00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 1: push each other, trying to be great. I'm not even

485
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,640
Speaker 1: out of that specifics. If you get the sense maybe

486
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:41,960
Speaker 1: intensity down or whatever. For sure, there's ways you got

487
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,640
Speaker 1: to find um to do that. Sometimes, like I said,

488
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,199
Speaker 1: Camps Long, sometimes it's a drag. Sometimes guys want to

489
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: be anywhere but the football field. Um, And that's just

490
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 1: the nature of the business. You know, it's a long days,

491
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,800
Speaker 1: short years, and knowing that that this goes by so quick,

492
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: we gotta find waste to you know, put our focus

493
00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: back into what we're doing and focus on the here

494
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,199
Speaker 1: and now. And um, you know sometimes it's necessary. You know,

495
00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:12,200
Speaker 1: good good teams sometimes fight. You know, guys want want

496
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,320
Speaker 1: it so bad. Guys are very competitive, guys push each other.

497
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: So Uh, you saw a little little tempers flare again

498
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,800
Speaker 1: today and again that's all because we want to win.

499
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: We want to work really hard. We want to beat

500
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 1: the guys across from us. And that doesn't matter who

501
00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: it is, um. But it's good to see the intensity

502
00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: right now coming out from you know, both sides of

503
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: the football and the whole team, because again, we just

504
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,920
Speaker 1: want to win football games. This gamp seems one of

505
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:42,200
Speaker 1: the most shippiest ones. And my memory of Bill's camp ship,

506
00:26:42,520 --> 00:26:45,960
Speaker 1: what is that? Is it just because you talked about

507
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,560
Speaker 1: a new identity? Is this about? Is this the identity

508
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:53,200
Speaker 1: that you guys, to a degree, are trying to form. Um.

509
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:57,480
Speaker 1: I can't say that is the reason why, um, But

510
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: when you bring in the guys that we've brought in,

511
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,399
Speaker 1: there's competition all over the place. There's a competition on

512
00:27:03,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 1: their side of the ball, on our side of the ball.

513
00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,960
Speaker 1: And then when we play against each other, Uh, you know,

514
00:27:08,240 --> 00:27:10,480
Speaker 1: guys are trying to fight for a spot on this team,

515
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:14,480
Speaker 1: and you know, things get chippy when when guys are

516
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,760
Speaker 1: working hard and trying to beat the other guy across

517
00:27:17,800 --> 00:27:21,200
Speaker 1: from him. And like I said, I saw coach say

518
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,439
Speaker 1: in the media he'd rather tell us to tone it

519
00:27:23,480 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 1: down than pick it up. And I think that's kind

520
00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: of just the spot where we're at. Guys want to win,

521
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: Guys want to beat each other. You know. It's uh,

522
00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: got a lot of talkers on this team too, So, um,

523
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:35,119
Speaker 1: it's been a fun camp. It really has been. And

524
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: I appreciate the intensity from you know, both sides of

525
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:40,040
Speaker 1: the ball. Did I see you trying to get him

526
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: away a bet Oliver who's kind of charging at somebody today?

527
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: Is that? I mean that? No different regards the movie

528
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:53,640
Speaker 1: talkers say Mackenzie, who, Um, it looks like he's kicking

529
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 1: camp because he knows that that job is right there

530
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: for him to win. Starting Did you just gonna call

531
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 1: you await what you're seeing from him? And all that? Yeah,

532
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: I mean again, he's he's working his tailoff, and that's

533
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,800
Speaker 1: kind of what Isaiah's known for. He's, uh, he's gonna

534
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: work hard, he's gonna find a way. Um. But again,

535
00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,080
Speaker 1: learning the nuances of the slot position and taking the

536
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 1: coaching and the leadership and um, the knowledge that you

537
00:28:19,560 --> 00:28:21,320
Speaker 1: know he's had over the past years of guys in

538
00:28:21,320 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 1: that position, you know, being naming Cole Um trying to

539
00:28:25,359 --> 00:28:27,200
Speaker 1: take what he was doing on the field and plight

540
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:30,320
Speaker 1: to his game. Bringing a guy like Jamison and having

541
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,359
Speaker 1: his knowledge and Isaiah kind of taken that. And Um,

542
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: there's no denying his physical attributes, his speed, He's extremely

543
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: tough for a little guy. Um. You know, he's a

544
00:28:41,120 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: little muscle hamster. Um. But he again, he's determined to

545
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: to help this team win football games. That whether that's

546
00:28:49,200 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: at punt return or kick return or slot. The gadget

547
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: guy that he's kind of been in the role in

548
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 1: this offense over the last couple of years. Um. But

549
00:28:56,240 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 1: like you said, that positions up there and he's he's

550
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: taken advantage of it. Early in camp, Um had some

551
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: really really nice plays. His intensities up, his focus is up.

552
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,640
Speaker 1: Um again, he's going out there and he just continues

553
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: to make plays. How do you expect to pick up

554
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: what you left off with familiar faces with bigger rows

555
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: to fresh faces to deal with him. Yeah. Again, going

556
00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:21,720
Speaker 1: into year three with DIGGI, Um, you know, Gabe developing

557
00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:24,800
Speaker 1: more into this offense. Now, you know, Isaiah is my

558
00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: longest ten year receiver, so again I think that kind

559
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: of plays into what he's going on. But you got

560
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,920
Speaker 1: you bring in some some new guys. Um, so guys

561
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 1: are on the practice squad last year that are that

562
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 1: are playing really well in camp right now. And new

563
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. I can go on and on about that.

564
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: It's it's new, but he's not new, you know. Um,

565
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: I trust him and he's gonna have a hard job

566
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 1: of piece and guys on the field and trying to

567
00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,800
Speaker 1: get guys different looks. But I think we're at our

568
00:29:49,840 --> 00:29:52,160
Speaker 1: best as an offense when we're spreading the ball around

569
00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: and um, you know, you don't know where the ball

570
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 1: could be going. So fortunately we've got the options and

571
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: the pieces to do it. Now is to go out

572
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,160
Speaker 1: there and execue. That's a different story and that's what

573
00:30:02,160 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 1: we're just trying to do. And that's Josh Allen addressing

574
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: the media and a new nickname for Isaiah McKenzie. It

575
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,120
Speaker 1: was little Dirty, It might be little muscle Hamster now

576
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 1: who knows. That's what Josh called him today in the

577
00:30:13,840 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: press conference. So there's that. Do with it what you will,

578
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: if you want to put it on a sign for

579
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,680
Speaker 1: the return of the Blue and Red tomorrow. Knock yourself out.

580
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 1: But we have to take a break here because when

581
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:24,840
Speaker 1: we come back, Matt Milano will be joining us here

582
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,520
Speaker 1: on the set. We'll catch up with him about what

583
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:31,040
Speaker 1: he thinks his defense is capable of in twenty twenty two.

584
00:30:31,080 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: Next here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kalida to help,

585
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:51,840
Speaker 1: it's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, welcome back to One

586

Speaker 1: Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you here at

587
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:57,080
Speaker 1: Bill's training camp Saint John Fisher University, and happy to

588
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,800
Speaker 1: be joined now by the man who wears number fifty

589
00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 1: eight in your program, linebacker Matt Milano Macca to have

590
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:05,840
Speaker 1: you appreciate having me on. Yeah, we're where What are

591
00:31:05,880 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 1: we around? Day nine? Day ten? I know you had

592
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: a day off yesterday, but are we getting to the

593
00:31:10,520 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 1: to the heavy leg period of camp? We're in the

594
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,280
Speaker 1: right now. I don't know where we're at, but I'm

595
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:18,120
Speaker 1: just coming every day. Does it once you start counting

596
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:20,800
Speaker 1: the days, you get lost in the sauce? Do you?

597
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:24,320
Speaker 1: So we've been watching it? Does your defense feel as

598
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,480
Speaker 1: good as it looks? It does? In the player, you

599
00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Yep, it does, especially with those

600
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: guys up front. I mean you can just feel them

601
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,560
Speaker 1: getting off the ball creating havoc and that helps everybody out,

602
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:38,080
Speaker 1: the defenders, linebackers, dbs, everybody. So so tell me, tell me,

603
00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:41,400
Speaker 1: with those big guys up there, how does it help

604
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:44,320
Speaker 1: you and Tremaine the most. Is it all about just

605
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: keeping you guys clean so you can run and hit

606
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,800
Speaker 1: or is there another benefit also too, I mean, because

607
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: they're just holding stuff up. Yeah, I mean I think

608
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: it's a little bit of both. You know, they're getting

609
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:56,440
Speaker 1: off the ball creating havoc. I mean, once you snap

610
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: of the ball and the guys in your face, it

611
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: creates a little bit of a not who do I

612
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 1: got but the lineman essentially you don't know who they're

613
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 1: blocking at that point. So once they get off the

614
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 1: ball and they're just big dudes up there Jordan Phillips,

615
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,440
Speaker 1: big dude and coming off the ball, falling outside everybody.

616
00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:12,480
Speaker 1: So it's been it's been fun to play with so far.

617
00:32:12,600 --> 00:32:15,840
Speaker 1: So basically nobody's coming into your kitchen, so you got

618
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: full view of where your landmarks are and where you

619
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: gotta be right and if they are. Then it creates

620
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: a one on one from them upfront, which helps us

621
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,959
Speaker 1: out as well. Yeah, you guys coming into your year

622
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:29,560
Speaker 1: fifth year now, I think, right, sixth year, and you

623
00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: and Tremaine, you must be like an old married couple

624
00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:38,000
Speaker 1: by this, right, I mean right, yeah, no, but we've

625
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,240
Speaker 1: we've been been around each other so much. You know,

626
00:32:40,280 --> 00:32:42,000
Speaker 1: once you're with anybody, I'm sure you guys have the

627
00:32:42,040 --> 00:32:44,840
Speaker 1: same chemistry. You can just tell we don't like each other. Yeah,

628
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: it's a little different now, I got you guys, But

629
00:32:46,760 --> 00:32:49,400
Speaker 1: yet it's been it's been fun and we you can

630
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 1: kind of tell what he's gonna do, you know, what

631
00:32:50,640 --> 00:32:52,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna call, where he's gonna be at, just that

632
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:54,800
Speaker 1: feeling of where he is at times. Slot. How has

633
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,680
Speaker 1: the film sessions changed between the two and the you

634
00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 1: know with the linebackers saved. I know, you guys go in,

635
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:02,040
Speaker 1: he watched some film and how you know breaking it down.

636
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:04,280
Speaker 1: How has that changed over the course for not just

637
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:06,280
Speaker 1: from last year and the year before, but even this

638
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:09,120
Speaker 1: year with the new guys upfront, and how the conversation

639
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,360
Speaker 1: changes because all the new guys. Yeah, I mean we've

640
00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:13,560
Speaker 1: been together. I think this is our sixth year. I

641
00:33:13,560 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: want to say most of us have been together for

642
00:33:15,640 --> 00:33:18,080
Speaker 1: six years, so we kind of have grown from the

643
00:33:18,080 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: basics of where we're aligned at and what the scheme

644
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 1: is to now thinking about what the offense is doing

645
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 1: and how they're attacking us. So that's kind of been

646
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: our focus, is where are we getting attacked and how

647
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: are they attacking us? I know I already addressed the

648
00:33:29,800 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 1: big guys in the middle, but with Vaughan added to

649
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: the pass rush, I mean, your eyes are going to

650
00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:38,000
Speaker 1: be getting big on third and nine sometimes because you know,

651
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 1: if he's not getting a guy on the ground, he's

652
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,320
Speaker 1: probably forcing a bad throw somewhere at some point in time,

653
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,160
Speaker 1: and that means opportunities for you, right exactly. Yeah, I

654
00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: mean you know that the edge defender changes the whole

655
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:52,800
Speaker 1: entire game in one snap. So it's a blessing to

656
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: have him, and I'm sure we'll see some some great things.

657
00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:56,960
Speaker 1: Why do you guys are smiling in a back seven?

658
00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: And with good reason? Yeah, you guys, You guys should

659
00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,440
Speaker 1: walk into this training camp and expectations are sky high.

660
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 1: I mean it could not be higher. Ye, and you

661
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,800
Speaker 1: kind of went through that last year. You had a

662
00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:09,600
Speaker 1: tremendous twenty twenty season, got out of the AFC Championship game.

663
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:12,440
Speaker 1: Some people knew about your last year when you come

664
00:34:12,440 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 1: in now and you walk into the locker room. You

665
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:17,759
Speaker 1: had the number one defense last year, and I was

666
00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,960
Speaker 1: talking to somebody this year, there's a chance, because of

667
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 1: the quarterbacks you kind of by happenstance had to play

668
00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,600
Speaker 1: last year, there's a chance you could be a much

669
00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,160
Speaker 1: better defense this year, even though you were number one

670
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,000
Speaker 1: last year and not be ranked as highly just because

671
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: of the way the chips fall during the regular season,

672
00:34:33,200 --> 00:34:35,120
Speaker 1: if you guys, So, how do you guys handle that,

673
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,879
Speaker 1: the expectation of being a better defense already being ranked

674
00:34:37,960 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: number one? Yeah, I mean we're not so much as

675
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:42,719
Speaker 1: looking at numbers and statistics and where we're at in

676
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 1: the realm to everybody else. We're just focusing on us

677
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: coming out each and every day, getting after the quarterback,

678
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: making plays on defense. I think that's what it comes

679
00:34:49,880 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: down to. You know, once you start worrying about what

680
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,440
Speaker 1: number you are, where where you're placed at, you kind

681
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:56,279
Speaker 1: of fall on that whole thing of chining to do

682
00:34:56,400 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: too much or do too less. So I think just

683
00:34:57,920 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: coming out every day working and building, working on your

684
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:02,759
Speaker 1: craft and building yourself. I think that's where I think

685
00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,200
Speaker 1: that's where it's gonna shine up. You've got a new

686
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: coach in the room, not new to the staff, and

687
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,439
Speaker 1: the guy's got the same name as the previous guy,

688
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: but it's Bob Babbage's son, Bobby yep. Um. I'm curious

689
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:19,040
Speaker 1: because he's coming from that secondary level. Is he bringing

690
00:35:19,080 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 1: anything new to the table. I mean, his defense, you

691
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 1: guys know it like the back of your hand. Is

692
00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:26,840
Speaker 1: he bringing anything new to the table from a linebacker perspective?

693
00:35:26,840 --> 00:35:29,560
Speaker 1: Because I've got to believe there are some coverage things

694
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: that he can kind of lend to you guys, you

695
00:35:32,680 --> 00:35:35,200
Speaker 1: know in that way. Yeah, Bobby's been great, Um, from

696
00:35:35,239 --> 00:35:37,640
Speaker 1: day one. He's brought in some new energy, some new juice.

697
00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,400
Speaker 1: I love Bob as well. Bob has been great as well.

698
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,840
Speaker 1: So it's been blessed to be coached by both the Babbages,

699
00:35:41,880 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 1: two generations, two generations of Babbage's. Can't beat that. But

700
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:48,920
Speaker 1: now Bobby's been great, Um, you know, just little technique stuff,

701
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:51,799
Speaker 1: working on our craft. Just every every day he's on it.

702
00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:54,000
Speaker 1: You know, younger guy, Um coming in there with some

703
00:35:54,080 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: juice so it's been fun to be around him. And

704
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:58,560
Speaker 1: then he almost tackled Tremaine after he made the interception

705
00:35:58,600 --> 00:36:01,120
Speaker 1: the other day. He was Yeah, he was like pumped up.

706
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:03,279
Speaker 1: I think he was more excited to get in there

707
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,759
Speaker 1: sometimes before we are. So you're also one of the

708
00:36:05,800 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 1: guys who's been around long enough to remember being here,

709
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: leaving for training camp, getting Orchard Park, not coming back.

710
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 1: Give us your idea about what it's like to be

711
00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,839
Speaker 1: back in Rochester now. It's been fun be in front

712
00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:17,880
Speaker 1: of the fans. I don't think a lot of these

713
00:36:17,920 --> 00:36:20,320
Speaker 1: fans can get to Buffalo or the practices are closed

714
00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: when we are there, so it's been fun to get

715
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 1: back in front of the fans, signed some autographs you know,

716
00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 1: relates to them, being the round with them. So it's

717
00:36:27,280 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: been fun. I've enjoyed it so far. Yeah, you're as

718
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:32,680
Speaker 1: Steve mentioned, this is year six for you, and it's

719
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 1: almost at a point now where you may have to

720
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:37,640
Speaker 1: fill a little bit of a mentor role, especially with

721
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,839
Speaker 1: a guy like Terrell Bernard. You know, the rook coming

722
00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:44,680
Speaker 1: in ye who kind of runs around and covers ground

723
00:36:44,719 --> 00:36:47,200
Speaker 1: like you do. I'm not saying he's you, but in

724
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 1: that same kind of body type, mold to a certain extent,

725
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:53,520
Speaker 1: guy that can move around, can cover like you, What

726
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:56,000
Speaker 1: can you lend to him in terms of, you know,

727
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:58,399
Speaker 1: helping him be quick on the uptake with this defense. Yeah,

728
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,640
Speaker 1: I mean he's been great. He's captured of the defense

729
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:03,879
Speaker 1: since day one. Um, so I don't think that's an

730
00:37:03,880 --> 00:37:07,319
Speaker 1: issue to worry about him. Yeah, he's running. I'm sure

731
00:37:07,320 --> 00:37:09,000
Speaker 1: you've seen him out there. An they can play. He

732
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,520
Speaker 1: had a interception the other day, so he's good to go.

733
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:13,360
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'm just doing everything I can. Any questions

734
00:37:13,360 --> 00:37:15,719
Speaker 1: I can answer, Um, just giving him little tips here

735
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,680
Speaker 1: and there, watching film, film study, weight room stuff, taking

736
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 1: care of your body, just trying to trying to get

737
00:37:20,600 --> 00:37:22,120
Speaker 1: him with the speed with everybody he is. He is

738
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: more of a linebacker if you're like you and Tremaine

739
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: are a little different. Tremaine, there's this big con type

740
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:29,719
Speaker 1: guy and he also has just he's a He's an

741
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:32,440
Speaker 1: A equals B B, equill see and you're out there

742
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:33,840
Speaker 1: going if I see the ball, I'm gonna, you know,

743
00:37:33,920 --> 00:37:35,799
Speaker 1: kind of a more reactive kind of player. That's that

744
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:39,280
Speaker 1: strikes me as more what Bernard is, even if he's

745
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,640
Speaker 1: gonna be playing both Mike and Will or both you

746
00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:44,000
Speaker 1: guys are backing him up or whatever? Can he still

747
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,720
Speaker 1: can he play Tremaine spot like you play your spot

748
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,200
Speaker 1: like with that kind of attitude and style. Yeah, he's

749
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,760
Speaker 1: all over the field. He's doing his thing. Um, Bobby

750
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: has done a great job of having him learn both positions. So,

751
00:37:55,480 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I've he's impressed me so far out here.

752
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: Is there is there anything left for I mean, you're

753
00:38:02,040 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 1: always trying to get better every single day. We hear

754
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:06,839
Speaker 1: Josh all the time because people are asking him all

755
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,759
Speaker 1: the time, hey what are you working on this offseason?

756
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: And he's always got a list. I'm sure you do too.

757
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,920
Speaker 1: Is there anything with your personal game that after watching

758
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: film from last year, he said, when I come back

759
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:19,799
Speaker 1: in August, I am going to be better at that. Yep.

820
00:40:59,239 --> 00:41:01,560
Speaker 1: in my training, just go hard and then the rest

821
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:04,239

Speaker 1: what the schedule is gonna be. First half of the schedule,

830
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:29,520
Speaker 1: you're playing against a ton of playoff teams, a lot

831
00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: of marquee players, the world champions to kick off the

832
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: whole season. There's a lot of things that speak to

833
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:38,919
Speaker 1: how high the expectations are. A lot of prime time

834
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 1: games and like that. How does it play for you

835
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,920
Speaker 1: personally to be part of the group that came from

836
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: a team that was couldn't get to the playoffs for

837
00:41:48,120 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: seventeen years and now are considered to be the front runner.

838
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,240
Speaker 1: What what it means when people all over the country

839
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:56,759
Speaker 1: are like going, yeah, that Bill's teams a problem. Yeah.

840
00:41:56,960 --> 00:41:58,640
Speaker 1: For me, it feels good. I want to go out

841
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:00,319
Speaker 1: there and show everybody what we can do, you know,

842
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 1: take that, take that high expectation, to show them why

843
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 1: we're there, why they think we're the best. So that's

844

883
00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:26,839
Speaker 1: I was yeah, bothered me. Okay. The appeal by the

884
00:44:26,960 --> 00:44:31,200
Speaker 1: NFL on Deshaun Watson's case. Steve led to a flurry

885
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:34,080
Speaker 1: of tweets from some of the national reporters, as you

886
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 1: might expect, and I think the most interesting one, at

887
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:44,520
Speaker 1: least in terms of information, was provided by ESPN's Adam Schefter,

888
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:52,080
Speaker 1: who essentially pointed out that based on the new CBA

889
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,399
Speaker 1: and how things are adjudicated, if in fact there is

890
00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:03,759
Speaker 1: an appeal is based basically if wrongdoing was determined to

891
00:45:03,840 --> 00:45:11,120
Speaker 1: have happened in some way, shape or form, that Roger

892
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 1: Goodell steps in, determines what he feels the appropriate punishment

893
00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:21,359
Speaker 1: would be, and then levies it, and there is there

894
00:45:21,440 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: is no recourse after that. You can't appeal the appeal,

895
00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:27,960
Speaker 1: and then we step in and so spend. It's interesting

896
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:31,560
Speaker 1: because what this really says is nothing has changed except

897
00:45:32,400 --> 00:45:38,520
Speaker 1: when they agreed to the new CBA. The players Union said,

898
00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:41,760
Speaker 1: once they go to an arbitrator that's paid by both sides,

899
00:45:41,800 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: and it goes and either side refutes it or appeals it,

900
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 1: like we're seeing now, it goes right back to where

901
00:45:50,600 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 1: it was before they redid the deal, and Roger Goodell

902
00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: picks somebody he wants and they decided, and it could

903
00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:59,080
Speaker 1: be up down. It could be more punishment, less punishment,

904
00:45:59,280 --> 00:46:02,719
Speaker 1: or the same puny, and then after that nobody can

905
00:46:02,719 --> 00:46:06,280
Speaker 1: say nothing. Yeah, So the Personal Conduct Policy now states

906
00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 1: that the appeal will be processed on an expedited basis,

907
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:14,360
Speaker 1: so we should expect a quick turnaround and the Commissioner

908
00:46:14,800 --> 00:46:22,799
Speaker 1: or his designee may overturn, reduce, modify, or increase the

909
00:46:22,920 --> 00:46:27,200
Speaker 1: discipline previously issued by the independent arbitrator and it will

910
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:32,680
Speaker 1: be final and binding on all parties. So whatever Goodell

911
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:36,640
Speaker 1: decides here, and the vast majority of reports is indefinite

912
00:46:36,680 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 1: suspension and a ten million dollar finds coming. There is

913
00:46:40,960 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: no way to appeal the appeal, right, they can't even

914
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,040
Speaker 1: take an a federal court. It's over and done with

915
00:46:46,880 --> 00:46:51,719
Speaker 1: after this appeal. So exactly right, it looked like the league,

916
00:46:51,760 --> 00:46:55,600
Speaker 1: even though there's an independent arbitrator now and they rule

917
00:46:55,719 --> 00:46:59,440
Speaker 1: on it and make a ruling, the NFL still has

918
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: the magic pull it. That's right. One of the reasons

919
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:05,440
Speaker 1: the league feels like this is not what it should

920
00:47:05,480 --> 00:47:07,759
Speaker 1: be is because they look back in time and look

921
00:47:07,760 --> 00:47:09,879
Speaker 1: at precedent, so like this guy was suspended for that,

922
00:47:09,880 --> 00:47:12,480
Speaker 1: that guy was suspended for that. The problem is all

923
00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: these cases that we're talking about are so different in

924
00:47:15,800 --> 00:47:19,279
Speaker 1: their scope and the number of people involved that they

925
00:47:19,280 --> 00:47:23,920
Speaker 1: feel it should be commensurate with that. Hence, and in

926
00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:27,879
Speaker 1: this enormous suspension of a year plus indefinite whatever, plus

927
00:47:27,920 --> 00:47:35,360
Speaker 1: a huge fine, the arbitrator, Sue L. Robinson, did not

928
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 1: do that. She just went went back before this new

929
00:47:38,280 --> 00:47:40,040
Speaker 1: CBA say well, this is what it used to be,

930
00:47:40,120 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 1: so this is kind of where I'm at. The league

931
00:47:42,680 --> 00:47:45,799
Speaker 1: didn't like that, particularly in this Deshaun Watson case, and

932
00:47:46,200 --> 00:47:49,359
Speaker 1: you know, public opinion says they kind of in this

933
00:47:49,400 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 1: case that most people agree with the league it should

934
00:47:52,200 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 1: have been more stringent than it was. The other interesting

935
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 1: component of this is, as we know, the two sides

936
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:02,400
Speaker 1: engaged in some settlement talks. So what you have there is,

937
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 1: at least from reports, the league was offering Watson twelve

938
00:48:07,239 --> 00:48:10,080
Speaker 1: games and a ten million dollars suspension, right he turned

939
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:13,520
Speaker 1: it down ten million dollars five He turned it down

940
00:48:15,040 --> 00:48:18,440
Speaker 1: believing that the arbitrator would rule more in his favor,

941
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 1: which it did, which they did. The problem is his

942
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,279
Speaker 1: attorneys did not look at the letter of the law

943
00:48:24,320 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: with respect to the Personal Conduct Policy, which still gives

944
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,080
Speaker 1: the league the power to say, well, you know what,

945
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:32,400
Speaker 1: that's not good enough. We're going to do this. And now,

946
00:48:32,480 --> 00:48:35,600
Speaker 1: after refusing the offer of twelve games and ten millions,

947
00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:38,799
Speaker 1: here comes thors freaking hammer right on top of your

948
00:48:38,880 --> 00:48:40,840
Speaker 1: So we gave you a chance to take your medicine,

949
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,560
Speaker 1: you decided not to do it. Now it's up to

950
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,799
Speaker 1: Roger back in the old days, with no president. It's

951
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:47,600
Speaker 1: a brand new CBA. So I'm not gonna look at

952
00:48:47,640 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: the six games again. I'm not gonna look at this,

953
00:48:49,360 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 1: you know, Calvin Ridley getting a year for fifteen dollar bet.

954
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:55,080
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at you and your thirty cases or

955
00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:57,319
Speaker 1: the thirty people that the Texans had to pay off,

956
00:48:57,360 --> 00:48:59,000
Speaker 1: the twenty four that you've paid off, and the one

957
00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:02,040
Speaker 1: who you haven't it's still pending. We're gonna look at

958
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:06,120
Speaker 1: that as in this bright in this new enlightened you know,

959
00:49:06,200 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 1: purview where we have and we're gonna and by the way,

960
00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 1: since you said no to us the last time, you're

961
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:13,879
Speaker 1: not gonna get a chance to say no to this one.

962
00:49:14,120 --> 00:49:16,080
Speaker 1: And it's gonna be and this one's gonna hurt you

963
00:49:16,160 --> 00:49:18,360
Speaker 1: any more when anybody else has something like this happened

964
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:20,359
Speaker 1: to him, and we offer them something, they're gonna jump

965
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 1: at it because of what we do to you. Now

966
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:26,239
Speaker 1: he says that not the way it feels. Oh it's

967
00:49:26,600 --> 00:49:28,640
Speaker 1: And here's the thing, it's gonna be hard to find

968
00:49:28,719 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 1: anybody sympathizing with Shaun Watson after this is over. I

969
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 1: don't care if they indefinitely two year in suspension, indefinite.

970
00:49:37,719 --> 00:49:40,800
Speaker 1: I mean, nobody cares. They want it to go away,

971
00:49:40,840 --> 00:49:43,120
Speaker 1: The league wants it to go away. Nobody's got any

972
00:49:43,160 --> 00:49:46,600
Speaker 1: sympathy for what this guy did. You know, give him

973
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:49,359
Speaker 1: as much as you can possibly give him. There's people

974
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,480
Speaker 1: and since the beginning, people have said, you know, I

975
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:58,879
Speaker 1: guess shouldn't be playing anymore. And so there's that out there,

976
00:49:59,239 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 1: whether you agree with it or not. And then there's

977
00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:04,360
Speaker 1: some that says, hey, no, you know, no criminal charges,

978
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:06,920
Speaker 1: no foul, let's let him play. So, you know, so

979
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:09,320
Speaker 1: the bandwidth and I said this the other day, the

980
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,279
Speaker 1: width of opinions in the public previews like what you

981
00:50:13,320 --> 00:50:15,360
Speaker 1: would expect, goes from one extreme to the other and

982
00:50:15,400 --> 00:50:21,480
Speaker 1: everything in between. But the backlash and the public sentiment

983
00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:27,640
Speaker 1: for the arbitrator's ruling has been almost you know, four

984
00:50:27,680 --> 00:50:33,640
Speaker 1: to one against it being too harsh. They need they

985
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:36,960
Speaker 1: needed more games. We need to take a break here.

986
00:50:37,040 --> 00:50:38,879
Speaker 1: When we come back for the second hour of the show,

987
00:50:38,920 --> 00:50:42,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna be joined by NFL network analyst Brian Baldinger,

988
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:45,080
Speaker 1: good friend of the show, going to hop on with

989
00:50:45,160 --> 00:50:47,600
Speaker 1: us as he took in Bill's training camp practice today

990
00:50:47,600 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 1: and was doing a little work of his own over

991
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:51,600
Speaker 1: on the NFL and network side. We'll catch up with

992
00:50:51,640 --> 00:50:54,000
Speaker 1: Baldy next here on one Bill's Live presented by Allied

993
00:50:54,000 --> 00:51:13,760
Speaker 1: to Health, It's Buffalo Bill's Radio down at a Steve

994
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:17,280
Speaker 1: Tasker who has been all over the fields. Kind of unique.

995
00:51:17,280 --> 00:51:19,560
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you. Steve,

996
00:51:20,880 --> 00:51:25,840
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the straded beer

997
00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: of normalcy. All right. There we go our number two

998
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:37,000
Speaker 1: on a Thursday at Bill's training camp Saint John Fisher University,

999
00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:39,600
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve's tasker with you. Please to be joined

1000
00:51:39,600 --> 00:51:43,000
Speaker 1: by the man you know from Baldy's breakdowns and the

1001
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:45,839
Speaker 1: NFL Network going to film network analyist Brian Baldinger here

1002
00:51:45,840 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 1: on the show, taken in training camp today, Baldi, what'd

1003
00:51:49,320 --> 00:51:51,560
Speaker 1: you like today? What appealed to you? What caught your

1004
00:51:51,560 --> 00:51:53,560
Speaker 1: eye here? I know you're you're kind of a fly

1005
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:56,040
Speaker 1: by night operation, kind of swooping in and out of

1006
00:51:56,040 --> 00:51:59,280
Speaker 1: the well. I did you know, I took Josh Allen's advice.

1007
00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:01,799
Speaker 1: I had a turn key burger at the end. That

1008
00:52:01,880 --> 00:52:04,560
Speaker 1: was awesome. I'm not a turkey burger guy, but I

1009
00:52:04,600 --> 00:52:08,560
Speaker 1: think Josh convinced me, like these burgers, Saint John's Fisher

1010
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,520
Speaker 1: was solid, was it. See we had Matt Milano on

1011
00:52:10,560 --> 00:52:13,279
Speaker 1: he said they're solid. He didn't go off on it, no,

1012
00:52:13,360 --> 00:52:15,280
Speaker 1: but I like, you know, but I have like probably

1013
00:52:15,360 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 1: better taste buds than Matt, you know, like so like

1014
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:22,200
Speaker 1: I felt the flavor in everybody. Yeah, so, uh no,

1015
00:52:22,200 --> 00:52:23,759
Speaker 1: that was really good. But you know, this was a

1016
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: good practice. I mean they you know, I just talked

1017
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,520
Speaker 1: in some of the coaches and players beforehand, and you

1018
00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 1: know they were they were kind of they knew it

1019
00:52:30,200 --> 00:52:32,000
Speaker 1: was gonna be get amped up. You know, short yards,

1020
00:52:32,040 --> 00:52:34,520
Speaker 1: goal line, great goal line scrimmage, right, we could see

1021
00:52:34,560 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: it right there, and then coming out of the end zone,

1022
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,400
Speaker 1: like those important situations you gotta really maxim I was

1023
00:52:40,400 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 1: actually telling Josh, like I remember the play at the

1024
00:52:42,719 --> 00:52:45,520
Speaker 1: end of the Tennessee game, you know, and you slipped

1025
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:47,799
Speaker 1: there at the goal line, and that's a game to win,

1026
00:52:48,239 --> 00:52:50,239
Speaker 1: and win that game and like you just don't want

1027
00:52:50,239 --> 00:52:51,839
Speaker 1: to lose a game on the one yard line. So

1028
00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,440
Speaker 1: they had they run a ton of plays there at

1029
00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:55,640
Speaker 1: the one today. Yeah, and it was it was a

1030
00:52:55,680 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 1: physical practice. It was one that I was telling you

1031
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:00,279
Speaker 1: before we came on from what we knew. It is

1032
00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:02,760
Speaker 1: certainly hard, physical and they were competing hard and everything,

1033
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 1: but they were very little. There was very little extra conversation.

1034
00:53:05,560 --> 00:53:08,120
Speaker 1: We had the one little scuffle there that was really well,

1035
00:53:08,120 --> 00:53:09,560
Speaker 1: you know, you remember back in the day when the

1036
00:53:09,560 --> 00:53:11,359
Speaker 1: fights used to have and they were death matches. I mean,

1037
00:53:11,400 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 1: it was like it was like might not get back

1038
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 1: into it. It was like mad Max out there when

1039
00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:18,480
Speaker 1: you got fight. Now it's now it's like a pushing

1040
00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:20,120
Speaker 1: and shoving and the guy's game and they break it up.

1041
00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: But it was a practice that was very efficient and

1042
00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:26,520
Speaker 1: that there was no guy you could tell they were

1043
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:30,439
Speaker 1: deep into training camp, no extra stuff. Guys just go out,

1044
00:53:30,600 --> 00:53:33,319
Speaker 1: come off, go out, come off. They competed hard, but

1045
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:37,680
Speaker 1: I could tell it's starting to get But I did see, like,

1046
00:53:37,719 --> 00:53:39,360
Speaker 1: I mean, it was the best hitting I saw in

1047
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:42,440
Speaker 1: any I've been to five camps, like the hitting over

1048
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:44,759
Speaker 1: the middle was crisp. I saw Von Miller blow up

1049
00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:47,399
Speaker 1: a play on a third and short yard situation like

1050
00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,480
Speaker 1: his Like you just see the flash of quickness from

1051
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:52,440
Speaker 1: him to get in the backfield and just blow up

1052
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:54,839
Speaker 1: motor singletary, you know, whoever was carrying a ball at

1053
00:53:54,840 --> 00:53:57,320
Speaker 1: that time. So I saw like there was a physical

1054
00:53:57,320 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 1: component to it, right, which you know you have to

1055
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:01,880
Speaker 1: got to do it, you have to get conditioned to it,

1056
00:54:02,280 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 1: and you know you just can't wait till a week one.

1057
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,279
Speaker 1: It's interesting that you say, because you've been to five

1058
00:54:07,320 --> 00:54:09,920
Speaker 1: camps and you like the physicality of this camp, You're

1059
00:54:09,960 --> 00:54:12,480
Speaker 1: not the first person that has kind of come in

1060
00:54:12,800 --> 00:54:15,960
Speaker 1: from a national level and said that. I would imagine

1061
00:54:15,960 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: that Mike Tomlin runs his camp very similar to this.

1062
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:19,960
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if they kind of match the

1063
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,560
Speaker 1: intensity level we see out here. There are a certain

1064
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:26,000
Speaker 1: number of coaches, even at this day and age with

1065
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,839
Speaker 1: player safety and everything else, that's still mandate. Hey, by

1066
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:31,960
Speaker 1: the time we're coming out of camp, we're gonna know

1067
00:54:32,000 --> 00:54:33,880
Speaker 1: who we are. We're going to have an identity, and

1068
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 1: it's going to be rooted in knowing and callousing ourselves

1069
00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:40,440
Speaker 1: up for physical play. No, I mean any reads always

1070
00:54:40,480 --> 00:54:42,799
Speaker 1: subscribe to that. As first week a camp is about

1071
00:54:42,840 --> 00:54:45,360
Speaker 1: as tough as any place you go to. Some guys

1072
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:48,359
Speaker 1: still believe in that old school mentality as much as

1073
00:54:48,440 --> 00:54:50,600
Speaker 1: much as you can. You're limited by how many days

1074
00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 1: and paths in two days, all that stuff, but you know,

1075
00:54:52,960 --> 00:54:56,440
Speaker 1: to really maximize that. John Harball's always believe that in Baltimore,

1076
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:59,000
Speaker 1: and I think their teams reflect that. Now it's a

1077
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:02,440
Speaker 1: long season. How you start the season doesn't necessarily indicate

1078
00:55:02,520 --> 00:55:04,680
Speaker 1: how you're going to finish the season. All those kind

1079
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:06,960
Speaker 1: of things, but you know, everybody wants to get off

1080
00:55:06,960 --> 00:55:09,439
Speaker 1: to a good start. But more importantly, I believe that

1081
00:55:09,560 --> 00:55:12,120
Speaker 1: if you condition a body here in a good way

1082
00:55:12,160 --> 00:55:14,600
Speaker 1: that you mentioned Steve, where there's not fights and shippiness

1083
00:55:14,600 --> 00:55:17,040
Speaker 1: and all that, like, I think you cut down on

1084
00:55:17,080 --> 00:55:19,600
Speaker 1: a number of different type of injuries. It's interesting because

1085
00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,200
Speaker 1: you and I, I mean I started going to NFL

1086
00:55:22,239 --> 00:55:25,799
Speaker 1: to camps in nineteen eighty five. Yeah, and it's very

1087
00:55:25,840 --> 00:55:28,399
Speaker 1: different than it was one hundred and ten guys in camp.

1088
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,439
Speaker 1: That kind of thing um actually ours was. I think

1089
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 1: my rookie season was the first year where they limited

1090
00:55:34,280 --> 00:55:36,160
Speaker 1: how many guys you could have in camp. It used

1091
00:55:36,200 --> 00:55:39,200
Speaker 1: to be limitless. But I was telling him today, think

1092
00:55:39,239 --> 00:55:41,440
Speaker 1: about this. We watched that and we we talked about

1093
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,480
Speaker 1: how physical this practice was and how long it was.

1094
00:55:43,600 --> 00:55:47,400
Speaker 1: It was. It was a grueling Imagine that it was

1095
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,439
Speaker 1: practice number one and like in an hour they're gonna

1096
00:55:50,440 --> 00:55:53,279
Speaker 1: be back out there to do it again. I'd be

1097
00:55:53,320 --> 00:55:55,200
Speaker 1: in my nap right now. Yeah, it's almost mind boggle.

1098
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,360
Speaker 1: It's almost mind boggling what it used to be. Like,

1099
00:55:58,440 --> 00:56:02,640
Speaker 1: can you wonder why? You know it's changed? You know,

1100
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,319
Speaker 1: but but you know it's changed, and I think you

1101
00:56:05,400 --> 00:56:08,040
Speaker 1: have to adjust the game. I mean nobody you know

1102
00:56:08,400 --> 00:56:10,920
Speaker 1: CTE and some of the issues that players have had.

1103
00:56:10,920 --> 00:56:14,480
Speaker 1: It's real. But uh, but also Steve, like I'm just

1104
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,680
Speaker 1: thinking about your defensive line with Bruce Smith and the

1105
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 1: guys you know, Jeff Pike or whatever like Mark Mike,

1106
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:23,000
Speaker 1: Mark Pike. You just didn't see the size of the

1107
00:56:23,040 --> 00:56:25,480
Speaker 1: people you see now. You know, you go some hamps

1108
00:56:25,480 --> 00:56:27,080
Speaker 1: and there was like, you know, there's three hundred and

1109
00:56:27,080 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: fifty pound defensive tackles in this league. Now, Like you

1110
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,720
Speaker 1: can't spend three hours twice a day running into people

1111
00:56:32,719 --> 00:56:34,880
Speaker 1: that size you know you just like it's just not

1112
00:56:34,960 --> 00:56:37,440
Speaker 1: a good idea. And so like the size and the

1113
00:56:37,520 --> 00:56:40,360
Speaker 1: speed of the game has improved. You know when you

1114
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,480
Speaker 1: when you when people meet Tremaine Edmunds and they see

1115
00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 1: him for the first time, Like there was no no

1116
00:56:45,680 --> 00:56:48,720
Speaker 1: a linebacker that looked like Tremaine Edmunds when I played.

1117
00:56:48,800 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 1: That's right, you know. I mean Brian or Lacker was

1118
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:53,000
Speaker 1: the first really big, long guy like that coming into

1119
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,400
Speaker 1: the league when he came in. But like when I played,

1120
00:56:55,880 --> 00:56:58,439
Speaker 1: you know, linebackers worn't six five, two hundred and fifty

1121
00:56:58,440 --> 00:57:01,200
Speaker 1: five pounds and run like that, right, right that, And

1122
00:57:01,280 --> 00:57:04,360
Speaker 1: you're right, and I the evolution of the game, I mean,

1123
00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 1: it's what allowed me to play. Some of the guys

1124
00:57:07,360 --> 00:57:10,880
Speaker 1: that coached me in the eighties were former corners. You know,

1125
00:57:10,920 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 1: Kenny Houston was on that staff and right, Kenny Houston

1126
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:18,240
Speaker 1: six four way two twenty five and he played cornerback. Yeah, right, yeah,

1127
00:57:18,360 --> 00:57:22,080
Speaker 1: it's because you had to be that big to absorb

1128
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:25,200
Speaker 1: the physicality. Now, when they took all the physicality at

1129
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,160
Speaker 1: the line of scrimmage and the receivers are running three

1130
00:57:27,160 --> 00:57:28,640
Speaker 1: down there and stuff, then you could have smaller and

1131
00:57:28,680 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: smaller and faster guys, and it became a thing to

1132
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,200
Speaker 1: get in space. But the big guys down inside have

1133
00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,760
Speaker 1: gotten bigger, bigger, bigger and bigger bigger. No. But but

1134
00:57:37,800 --> 00:57:39,880
Speaker 1: even like the evolution, I was telling Aaron Cromer before

1135
00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,680
Speaker 1: the game, like you go up like I was just

1136
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:44,000
Speaker 1: in with the New York Giants and you know, you

1137
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:46,080
Speaker 1: see Dexter Lawrence and you see some of these guys

1138
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:48,640
Speaker 1: inside for the Giants like you literally, I don't care

1139
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:51,480
Speaker 1: what the play call is, what the past play is,

1140
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 1: Like you have to run block a guy like that

1141
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,560
Speaker 1: every play, right, Like if you sit back and you

1142
00:57:55,680 --> 00:57:58,600
Speaker 1: set and you wait for Dexter Lawrence, like you're gonna

1143
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:01,560
Speaker 1: end up in the quarterbacks lap. You know, momentum. You

1144
00:58:01,560 --> 00:58:04,320
Speaker 1: can't let these guys get started. So Fletcher Cox, you know,

1145
00:58:04,360 --> 00:58:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean like this this kid, Jordan Davis down Philadelphia,

1146
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,200
Speaker 1: Like you can't set on a three fifty pound defensive

1147
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: tackle that can run like that. He'll run you right over. Yeah. So,

1148
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:17,240
Speaker 1: like the techniques even up front just continue to evolve.

1149
00:58:17,560 --> 00:58:21,600
Speaker 1: Speaking a defensive lineman, you identified one on this Bill's

1150
00:58:21,680 --> 00:58:24,520
Speaker 1: roster as one of your players in the trench and

1151
00:58:24,600 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 1: his poise for a breakout year. It's Greg Rousseau, who's

1152
00:58:28,880 --> 00:58:31,480
Speaker 1: a tall freakazoid in his own right, you know, at

1153
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,520
Speaker 1: six to seven plus thing, his wingspans like seven and

1154
00:58:33,520 --> 00:58:36,600
Speaker 1: a half feet or something. What appeals to you most

1155
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: that you feel he's suited for a breakout season here

1156
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 1: and year two? Yeah, you know, first of all, he

1157
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 1: only played one year at Miami. You know, he's a

1158
00:58:43,720 --> 00:58:45,520
Speaker 1: one year guy, so he didn't play a lot of football.

1159
00:58:45,840 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 1: And then he got on the field a little over

1160
00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:52,160
Speaker 1: half the plays last year, but he flashed. But it's

1161
00:58:52,240 --> 00:58:56,520
Speaker 1: usually a second year before anybody really understands and learns

1162
00:58:56,520 --> 00:58:58,680
Speaker 1: the game, you know. And so then I was talking

1163
00:58:58,680 --> 00:59:01,880
Speaker 1: to Von Miller, you know, after practice about him, and

1164
00:59:01,920 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 1: he said, you know, Baldi, it's it's not so much

1165
00:59:04,280 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 1: like technique that I'm working with him in which I

1166
00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:08,160
Speaker 1: would have figured he would be working with him on

1167
00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:12,080
Speaker 1: whether it's you know, learning counter moves to what's your

1168
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:15,000
Speaker 1: what's your fastball, what's your counter to the fast That's

1169
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:16,440
Speaker 1: what I thought he was gonna say. He goes Baldi.

1170
00:59:16,520 --> 00:59:19,439
Speaker 1: What's more important is really the mental part of the game,

1171
00:59:19,680 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 1: Like like Steve played with Bruce Smith, who was the

1172
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:25,080
Speaker 1: best at understanding when the game was in the balance

1173
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:27,960
Speaker 1: and taking over the game like it's it's it's about moments,

1174
00:59:28,040 --> 00:59:31,360
Speaker 1: whether it's third down, whether it's red zone, whether it's

1175
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,440
Speaker 1: the end of the game, make the play to finish

1176
00:59:34,440 --> 00:59:36,240
Speaker 1: the game, to get off the field with the win.

1177
00:59:36,680 --> 00:59:37,920
Speaker 1: And that's what Von did at the end of the

1178
00:59:37,960 --> 00:59:40,200
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. That's what Aaron Donald did. And it's like

1179
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,800
Speaker 1: understanding that mentality that yes, it's important to go hard

1180
00:59:43,840 --> 00:59:45,600
Speaker 1: every play, it's important to try to win your one

1181
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:49,000
Speaker 1: on ones, but it's also important to understand it's third

1182
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:52,160
Speaker 1: and two and they have to score a touchdown, like

1183
00:59:52,360 --> 00:59:55,200
Speaker 1: understanding the moment in a game. And so I think

1184
00:59:55,400 --> 00:59:58,560
Speaker 1: the mental aspect for Greg I think is there and

1185
00:59:58,640 --> 00:59:59,800
Speaker 1: one of the reason why I put him on the

1186
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,400
Speaker 1: list because I know the talent's there. Yeah, and now

1187
01:00:02,400 --> 01:00:04,959
Speaker 1: it's a question of you have every day you're around

1188
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,160
Speaker 1: Von Miller, like he should literally follow him everywhere he

1189
01:00:08,200 --> 01:00:11,120
Speaker 1: goes and just pick his brain because not everybody gets

1190
01:00:11,120 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 1: that luxury. Yeah, he's been good about that, and your

1191
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: hunch was right because he is also teaching him technique.

1192
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:20,480
Speaker 1: I watched him for ten minutes on the side over here.

1193
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:22,720
Speaker 1: They got the side field where the defense often goes

1194
01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:26,760
Speaker 1: and he's teaching him how to reduce the effect of

1195
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,480
Speaker 1: a hand punch from alignment by pulling your shoulder off

1196
01:00:29,520 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 1: and you know, twisting your body to reduce the impact

1197
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:33,960
Speaker 1: of a punch and stuff like, because he's you know,

1198
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:35,720
Speaker 1: he gets his chest up. There's a lot to hit

1199
01:00:35,760 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 1: there for Greg Ruso. If he can get himself skinny

1200
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:41,120
Speaker 1: or reduce a punch. He never knew that before. Well,

1201
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,360
Speaker 1: it's it's the entire play on the edge in this

1202
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:46,959
Speaker 1: league right now is the game of hands and where

1203
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:50,200
Speaker 1: does the fight start? And so, like I talked offensive

1204
01:00:50,200 --> 01:00:53,080
Speaker 1: line coaches across the league and often I was at

1205
01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 1: the offensive line Masterminds down in Dallas a couple weeks ago,

1206
01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,800
Speaker 1: and you know, we have Steve Hutchinson there, Willie Rofan guys.

1207
01:00:58,800 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 1: And really it used to be like, if you're an

1208
01:01:01,080 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 1: offensive lineman, you just punched. Well, now if you give

1209
01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:07,000
Speaker 1: von Miller a punch like this on your set, like

1210
01:01:07,120 --> 01:01:09,480
Speaker 1: that thing's gonna get pinned or he's gonna rip that.

1211
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: So now it's really like you have a guide hand,

1212
01:01:13,360 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 1: you have a kill hand. Like there's all these things

1213
01:01:15,480 --> 01:01:18,920
Speaker 1: going on in the chess match. Now between Greg Rousseau

1214
01:01:19,040 --> 01:01:22,400
Speaker 1: and the right tackle wherever you may be. And so

1215
01:01:22,760 --> 01:01:26,560
Speaker 1: you know, you have to understand, like really understand watching

1216
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,480
Speaker 1: the film, what you're gonna get this week, what they

1217
01:01:28,560 --> 01:01:31,160
Speaker 1: like to do, and then what's the best method to

1218
01:01:31,160 --> 01:01:33,640
Speaker 1: beat that. We've got to We've always had this conversation

1219
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:35,960
Speaker 1: about offensive lineman around the national football They got to

1220
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:37,960
Speaker 1: talk of years ago to one of the executives with

1221
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,880
Speaker 1: the Bills, one of the higher up guys, and he said, really,

1222
01:01:40,920 --> 01:01:43,080
Speaker 1: the problem with the league is if you expand, you

1223
01:01:43,200 --> 01:01:48,040
Speaker 1: run out of players pretty quick. There's not enough offensive

1224
01:01:48,080 --> 01:01:50,960
Speaker 1: linemen that are good enough to play five deep and

1225
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:53,240
Speaker 1: then have three or four guys behind him five you

1226
01:01:53,280 --> 01:01:56,360
Speaker 1: know deep. Thirty two teams. Yeah, if we go thirty

1227
01:01:56,360 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 1: three teams or thirty six teams, there are not enough

1228
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,200
Speaker 1: big guys out there in the world who play football

1229
01:02:02,240 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 1: who are good enough to play at this level. So

1230
01:02:04,280 --> 01:02:07,120
Speaker 1: you're gonna have these teams that are non competitive because

1231
01:02:07,160 --> 01:02:09,200
Speaker 1: they're an enough big guys. You still see that? Is

1232
01:02:09,200 --> 01:02:11,560
Speaker 1: that still true thing? He's looking for those guys, right,

1233
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:13,560
Speaker 1: They're hard to make because you know, even like in

1234
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,840
Speaker 1: Rousseau's you know place like one year of college football

1235
01:02:16,960 --> 01:02:19,080
Speaker 1: used to be you know, like Von came out of

1236
01:02:19,080 --> 01:02:21,840
Speaker 1: Texas A and M. It was three years straight. You know,

1237
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:24,640
Speaker 1: every single Saturday he played. Like you get these guys now,

1238
01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:28,000
Speaker 1: the one year guy boogie Bashing played five years in college,

1239
01:02:28,040 --> 01:02:30,080
Speaker 1: you know, like you know, he played a lot more games.

1240
01:02:30,080 --> 01:02:31,840
Speaker 1: So a lot of these guys just haven't played a lot.

1241
01:02:32,120 --> 01:02:33,960
Speaker 1: You know, a lot of guys have position changes and

1242
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:35,720
Speaker 1: things like that. But when you get a guy like

1243
01:02:35,840 --> 01:02:38,640
Speaker 1: right to your point here, Steve Is, you just don't

1244
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:41,040
Speaker 1: see you go around these camps, you don't see six

1245
01:02:41,080 --> 01:02:45,040
Speaker 1: foot five, six foot six defensive ends with long arms, lean,

1246
01:02:45,480 --> 01:02:48,240
Speaker 1: fast twitch. You know in the movement that he has.

1247
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:50,240
Speaker 1: You know, you always study the movement when you study

1248
01:02:50,280 --> 01:02:54,000
Speaker 1: the player at any position, and his movement is very,

1249
01:02:54,120 --> 01:02:56,360
Speaker 1: very good. And now you're just looking for the suddenness.

1250
01:02:56,600 --> 01:03:00,440
Speaker 1: You're looking for a plan. You're looking for you know what,

1251
01:03:00,640 --> 01:03:02,680
Speaker 1: what's my plan to beat this guy? It can't just

1252
01:03:02,760 --> 01:03:06,000
Speaker 1: always just be effort. You know, the effort's important, and

1253
01:03:06,040 --> 01:03:07,920
Speaker 1: you can make a lot of place because of effort.

1254
01:03:08,160 --> 01:03:09,920
Speaker 1: But you want to win quickly. You know, the way

1255
01:03:09,920 --> 01:03:12,480
Speaker 1: the ball comes out. Now as quickly as it comes out,

1256
01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,680
Speaker 1: you want to see how you can win quickly, and

1257
01:03:14,720 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 1: so that's that's something that because of his length, whether

1258
01:03:17,640 --> 01:03:19,800
Speaker 1: it's given the body taking the body away on the

1259
01:03:19,840 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: swim move or something, or a ghost move where you're

1260
01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 1: not even getting touched but you're still turning the corner

1261
01:03:25,320 --> 01:03:27,920
Speaker 1: to the quarterback. We know that the Bills won't be

1262
01:03:27,920 --> 01:03:30,440
Speaker 1: playing the Jets until after mid season. They playing pretty

1263
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,960
Speaker 1: late in the year both games this year. But I

1264
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,000
Speaker 1: know you were at Jets camp earlier this week. You

1265
01:03:36,120 --> 01:03:38,680
Speaker 1: like Bruce Hall. Huh? Like you like Bruese Hall. I

1266
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,240
Speaker 1: like the whole running back room. Okay, yeah, yeah, Michael

1267
01:03:41,240 --> 01:03:43,600
Speaker 1: Carter from last year. Yeah, Michael's all banged up right now.

1268
01:03:43,600 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 1: But Tevin Coleman, they got a good room. But when

1269
01:03:45,920 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 1: you watch Bruce, first of all, you know he's two

1270
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,560
Speaker 1: twenty pounds, like he's an NFL size running back. He's

1271
01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:53,959
Speaker 1: a he's not a short guy that's squatty, like he's

1272
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:57,520
Speaker 1: he's six foot you know, he's two twenty pounds, so

1273
01:03:57,600 --> 01:04:01,160
Speaker 1: he's an NFL size, But he's got is smooth. I

1274
01:04:01,200 --> 01:04:03,560
Speaker 1: was talking to Ladanian Thompson about the other day. Now,

1275
01:04:03,600 --> 01:04:07,040
Speaker 1: he's got this smooth breakaway speed that a lot of

1276
01:04:07,080 --> 01:04:10,000
Speaker 1: people misjudge because he is so smooth. It doesn't look

1277
01:04:10,000 --> 01:04:13,800
Speaker 1: like he's going He glides, you know. And so the Jets,

1278
01:04:13,840 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 1: you know, they're gonna be one of these teams that

1279
01:04:15,320 --> 01:04:17,600
Speaker 1: wide zone and everything's gonna come off the run. But

1280
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 1: you know, if this McKay Beckton, he's getting himself in

1281
01:04:21,480 --> 01:04:25,120
Speaker 1: shape through camp, he might be the most talented offensive

1282
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:27,959
Speaker 1: lineman of football. Like his power is just rare. What's

1283
01:04:27,960 --> 01:04:30,720
Speaker 1: his problem? You know, he's already came in overweight and

1284
01:04:30,760 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 1: he's had weight issues. He's he has what he gets

1285
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:35,440
Speaker 1: nicked up, Steve, he hasn't learned how to play through it,

1286
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,880
Speaker 1: you know, and so there's there's is that a toughness issue?

1287
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,880
Speaker 1: The hard thing? Yeah, you know you have to. We

1288
01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: need you on the field. Like you know, he he's young,

1289
01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,880
Speaker 1: he acts young, but his ability and you know, everybody

1290
01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:49,760
Speaker 1: tells me or you're a building this and I'll do

1291
01:04:49,800 --> 01:04:52,600
Speaker 1: a Baldy breakdown him. Watch him just mow people down,

1292
01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,520
Speaker 1: and he kind of falls in love with that and

1293
01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 1: he doesn't do the work. But if he stays like

1294
01:04:57,960 --> 01:05:01,040
Speaker 1: this with Olive Vera, Tucker or Lake and Thomason, what

1295
01:05:01,120 --> 01:05:03,360
Speaker 1: they have up front and the tight ends that they

1296
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: have right now, they got some good blocking tight ends,

1297
01:05:05,880 --> 01:05:08,600
Speaker 1: like they should be very very good if they all

1298
01:05:08,680 --> 01:05:13,720
Speaker 1: kind of stay on course. Uh what about Zach Wilson

1299
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:16,840
Speaker 1: year two? It's big for him, as we know, it's

1300
01:05:16,840 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 1: got to start to kind of come together. It sounds

1301
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 1: like they're gonna try to support him with a with

1302
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:23,959
Speaker 1: a proven running game and yeah, kind of just have him. Well,

1303
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,120
Speaker 1: you know, you got to start like what you guys

1304
01:05:26,120 --> 01:05:29,680
Speaker 1: have done is here with Brandon and you know, drafting

1305
01:05:29,760 --> 01:05:32,480
Speaker 1: Josh and you know Sean, like you're the blueprint for

1306
01:05:32,520 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 1: how to do it. Yeah, you know, people question whether

1307
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:38,400
Speaker 1: Josh could become what he is and what he's gonna be, um,

1308
01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:40,680
Speaker 1: but the Bill saw it and they never stopped building

1309
01:05:40,680 --> 01:05:42,360
Speaker 1: around him. And that's what the Jets are doing. Like

1310
01:05:42,440 --> 01:05:46,880
Speaker 1: they've identified Zach and the talent that they surrounded him with.

1311
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,480
Speaker 1: That's Garrett Wilson right there and just screening him seventeen.

1312
01:05:49,800 --> 01:05:51,840
Speaker 1: Like that kid is going to be an awesome player.

1313
01:05:52,000 --> 01:05:54,480
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if he Stefon digs good, you know,

1314
01:05:54,600 --> 01:05:56,840
Speaker 1: if he if he's gonna be that good, but he

1315
01:05:56,920 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 1: has that ability to be that good. His body control,

1316
01:06:00,440 --> 01:06:03,640
Speaker 1: his suddenness, the way he explodes off the line, like

1317
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:06,400
Speaker 1: he's he's got the mentality, like he's got the right

1318
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:08,560
Speaker 1: mentality to be a dog, to be a number one

1319
01:06:08,840 --> 01:06:11,920
Speaker 1: the way Stefan does, you know, and so uh and

1320
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,200
Speaker 1: then everything the tight ends, the backs, the line, like

1321
01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:17,760
Speaker 1: it's all better around him. Defensively, they're much better he's

1322
01:06:17,840 --> 01:06:21,640
Speaker 1: But it'd be like Josh coming out of his first year, like,

1323
01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:23,360
Speaker 1: you know, can he make the jump? Yeah, he made

1324
01:06:23,360 --> 01:06:25,320
Speaker 1: the jump, but you don't know, you can't say he's

1325
01:06:25,360 --> 01:06:27,800
Speaker 1: definitely gonna make it. He's got to do it by

1326
01:06:28,200 --> 01:06:29,640
Speaker 1: how he does on the field, and so and so

1327
01:06:29,680 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 1: they are getting better around him. And we were making

1328
01:06:31,760 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 1: We had Armando Salgaro from Miami on and we said,

1329
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:37,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like everybody in the AFC.

1330
01:06:37,160 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 1: He's missed a holiday this year because we didn't get

1331
01:06:39,120 --> 01:06:40,960
Speaker 1: a chance to make fun of the Jets draft. Yeah,

1332
01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,760
Speaker 1: it's a really good draft for them. How how much

1333
01:06:43,760 --> 01:06:46,280
Speaker 1: are those guys gonna be able to contribute? I guess

1334
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:48,480
Speaker 1: from the way they looked last year, you would expect

1335
01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 1: it was like maybe top four guys, certainly Breece Hall,

1336
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,560
Speaker 1: but they contributors right away. They got Joe Douglas as

1337
01:06:54,560 --> 01:06:57,120
Speaker 1: the general manager, they got three of their top eight

1338
01:06:57,160 --> 01:07:00,840
Speaker 1: players in the draft, and then Greese Hall was at

1339
01:07:00,840 --> 01:07:02,520
Speaker 1: the very top of the second round. I mean kind

1340
01:07:02,560 --> 01:07:05,680
Speaker 1: of a first runner. But Jamaine Johnson, Garrett, you know,

1341
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,360
Speaker 1: Sauce Gardner, I think you're gonna get an immediate impact.

1342
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,439
Speaker 1: I don't think Sauce has to start right now. They've

1343
01:07:11,440 --> 01:07:13,959
Speaker 1: got two good corners of Bryce all in DJ Reader,

1344
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:16,320
Speaker 1: they're lining up as the starters right now. But you know,

1345
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I was just at practice on Tuesday. The first player

1346
01:07:19,680 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 1: on the field was Sauce Gardner. So I just asked

1347
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 1: some guys with the jest, is this the one day thing? No,

1348
01:07:25,400 --> 01:07:28,520
Speaker 1: you gotta know he's out here twenty minutes before everybody else.

1349
01:07:28,680 --> 01:07:30,400
Speaker 1: So went down to start talking to him. He goes,

1350
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:33,480
Speaker 1: this is the approach. This is what I did in Cincinnati.

1351
01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:37,000
Speaker 1: I want to be the best. I'm gonna be warmed up,

1352
01:07:37,080 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 1: stretched and ready to go before we get to warm

1353
01:07:39,120 --> 01:07:41,680
Speaker 1: up and stretch. That type of metality. I remember Steve

1354
01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 1: when we were you know, when you guys are all

1355
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:46,960
Speaker 1: you know, Pierre and Buffalo and just watching James Lofton

1356
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:51,000
Speaker 1: and in that whole receiving corps. Just work after practice

1357
01:07:51,040 --> 01:07:55,920
Speaker 1: before practice, like he has that sort of mentality. Yeah, well, listen, Balie,

1358
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,840

1369
01:08:27,880 --> 01:08:30,320
Speaker 1: the regular season. That's Brian Paul Dinger from NFL Network

1370
01:08:30,360 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live. We'll take a break, be

1371
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:50,200
Speaker 1: back with more in a second. It is summertime and

1372
01:08:50,280 --> 01:08:53,519
Speaker 1: Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott wants us all thinking about

1373
01:08:53,800 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 1: sun defense. Coach is passionate about skin cancer prevention as

1374
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,400
Speaker 1: it runs in his family, and he takes sun protection

1375
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:04,760
Speaker 1: very seriously. Most importantly of course is wearing sunscreen right now,

1376
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:06,680
Speaker 1: you can stop by your local Wegmans for all your

1377
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:10,639
Speaker 1: sun protection needs. Wegmans will donate one dollar for every

1378
01:09:10,880 --> 01:09:15,000
Speaker 1: Wegman sunscreen product sold through August thirty first in Buffalo,

1379
01:09:15,120 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 1: Rochester and their Syracuse stores. It's a great way to

1380
01:09:17,880 --> 01:09:20,080
Speaker 1: protect your family and help the fight against skin cancer

1381
01:09:20,400 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: and think sun defense. Like Bill's head coach Sean McDermott,

1382
01:09:25,120 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: if you are attending training camp out here at Saint

1383
01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:30,960
Speaker 1: John Fisher, there will be a sunscreen booth to get

1384
01:09:30,960 --> 01:09:35,080
Speaker 1: completely covered and protected being run by Wegmans over there.

1385
01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,400
Speaker 1: So if you forget your sunscreen when you come out

1386
01:09:37,400 --> 01:09:42,559
Speaker 1: to camp, fear not, they have you covered literally literally.

1387

01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:54,160
Speaker 1: defense getting fight, you want to put your him in

1524
01:15:54,240 --> 01:15:57,439

1525
01:15:57,479 --> 01:15:59,680
Speaker 1: I can't say that that's past me. Today. I tried

1526
01:15:59,680 --> 01:16:02,000
Speaker 1: to break up, like like I tried to stop him

1527
01:16:02,000 --> 01:16:03,400
Speaker 1: from something. He's just pushing me out the way, and

1528
01:16:03,400 --> 01:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I'd like to see you. You see. That's why I

1529
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:07,439
Speaker 1: just need to chill and step back and let these

1530
01:16:07,479 --> 01:16:09,160
Speaker 1: guys do what they're gonna do. Man. But that's just

1531
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:12,280
Speaker 1: part of the the count. Man, It's just part of the brotherhood.

1532
01:16:12,479 --> 01:16:14,200
Speaker 1: You know. When it comes to football, you know, um,

1533
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,360
Speaker 1: it's gonna be some some some high temperate times. And

1534
01:16:17,400 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 1: you see that you see there with all the teams

1535
01:16:18,920 --> 01:16:20,360
Speaker 1: that that I've been on, it doesn't matter if it's

1536
01:16:20,360 --> 01:16:22,519
Speaker 1: training camp, it could be the eighth we could a season,

1537
01:16:22,560 --> 01:16:24,160
Speaker 1: it could be any time. You know, you're around these

1538
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:26,040
Speaker 1: guys every single day, you can meet, you compete at

1539
01:16:26,080 --> 01:16:28,800
Speaker 1: a at a high level every single day, and you know,

1540
01:16:28,840 --> 01:16:31,280
Speaker 1: it's just it just happened sometimes so that's that's a

1541
01:16:31,280 --> 01:16:33,160
Speaker 1: good sign. We don't have anybody coming out here fighting

1542
01:16:33,160 --> 01:16:35,760
Speaker 1: every single day like consistently. It's just you know, here

1543
01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,760
Speaker 1: and there, and you know, we all care about each other,

1544
01:16:37,800 --> 01:16:39,880
Speaker 1: so it's it's really short lived and you know, you

1545
01:16:40,080 --> 01:16:42,800
Speaker 1: move on to the next day, especially kind of being

1546
01:16:42,840 --> 01:16:44,640
Speaker 1: where it needs to be. I think it's I think

1547
01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,160
Speaker 1: it's just uh, I think everybody's just following Josh Allen.

1548
01:16:47,240 --> 01:16:49,800
Speaker 1: You know, like guy he's been taking boxing classes or

1549
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:53,360
Speaker 1: something like and obviously he's a tough guy, man, So

1550
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,600
Speaker 1: everybody's just following. Everybody just following him. Man. You know,

1551
01:16:56,640 --> 01:16:58,680
Speaker 1: we gotta we gotta group full of you know, we

1552
01:16:58,680 --> 01:17:01,040
Speaker 1: got a group full of tough guys here, tough, smart guys.

1553
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,040
Speaker 1: And that's um, that's that's a great foundation of a

1554
01:17:04,040 --> 01:17:08,120
Speaker 1: football team. Now we all know while it is his

1555
01:17:08,200 --> 01:17:11,080
Speaker 1: own man, right, but how does lining up alongside of

1556
01:17:11,200 --> 01:17:14,280
Speaker 1: him give you those ad us? Oh it's great man,

1557
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:17,559
Speaker 1: he Um. I don't really like comparing guys, and you know,

1558
01:17:17,560 --> 01:17:19,640
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna compare you know it to a D.

1559
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:22,160
Speaker 1: You know, a D is the best defensive player that

1560
01:17:22,200 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 1: I've that I've ever played with. Um, So I don't

1561
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:26,160
Speaker 1: like making I don't like making comparances, but I tell

1562
01:17:26,200 --> 01:17:28,960
Speaker 1: you it is it is his own, man. It is

1563
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:30,760
Speaker 1: gonna have a bright future and it will have a

1564
01:17:30,800 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 1: shot to be one of the best defensive players that

1565
01:17:32,920 --> 01:17:35,040
Speaker 1: ever played this game. He'll have his own path and

1566
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:36,960
Speaker 1: he'll be able to do it. Um. I see a

1567
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,760
Speaker 1: lot of similarities. I'm not I'm not gonna compare like

1568
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,080
Speaker 1: you know, a d is his own animal. But I

1569
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,280
Speaker 1: see a lot of similarities. I see some some things

1570
01:17:44,320 --> 01:17:45,880
Speaker 1: that make Ed great. He has a great get off,

1571
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:48,439
Speaker 1: He's able to pass orus, play the run, um, he

1572
01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:50,559
Speaker 1: can get verticlinic guy. He can do pretty much anything.

1573
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:52,040
Speaker 1: And he played, he could play at five, he could

1574
01:17:52,040 --> 01:17:55,880
Speaker 1: play at nine, play one, play three anything, and um,

1575
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,439
Speaker 1: you know, I got Gregg and Ed. Man. It really

1576
01:17:59,439 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 1: just makes mone my job so much easier, man. And

1577
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:04,759
Speaker 1: it's it's comforting, you know, all the things. It's comforting

1578
01:18:04,840 --> 01:18:06,760
Speaker 1: to think about all these things in the offseason and

1579
01:18:06,880 --> 01:18:08,400
Speaker 1: what you could be and come out here on the

1580
01:18:08,400 --> 01:18:10,760
Speaker 1: field and you have some success versus a very good

1581
01:18:10,800 --> 01:18:15,040
Speaker 1: offense that we have. Man. So you know, Ed, Greg, aj, Biggie,

1582

01:18:21,800 --> 01:18:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm having fun. I really don't have any complaints. Um,

1585
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,040
Speaker 1: you know, they did their homework on me and the

1586
01:18:27,080 --> 01:18:29,599
Speaker 1: type of player that I am and what I what

1587
01:18:29,640 --> 01:18:31,559
Speaker 1: I can do on the football field. And you know,

1588
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:34,280
Speaker 1: we are here and they put me in situations to win.

1589
01:18:34,320 --> 01:18:36,120
Speaker 1: They put me around guys, it's gonna help me win.

1590
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:39,519
Speaker 1: I'm really enjoying like just being around the end of guys.

1591
01:18:39,520 --> 01:18:43,760
Speaker 1: You know, they're they're so um, they just uh, they

1592
01:18:43,800 --> 01:18:47,360
Speaker 1: just retain so much information. They're like sponges. Like especially Grig.

1593
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:49,280
Speaker 1: We talk about something on the field, we talk about

1594
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:51,680
Speaker 1: like a long warm or just a simple shit and

1595
01:18:51,760 --> 01:18:53,880
Speaker 1: he'll take that into the team period and he'd just

1596
01:18:54,360 --> 01:18:57,080
Speaker 1: make it his own and and just take that over

1597
01:18:57,120 --> 01:18:59,680
Speaker 1: the top. So it's good to um, it's good to

1598
01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:01,840
Speaker 1: just you know, just to talk to people and they

1599
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:03,599
Speaker 1: take the stuff that you tell them and they make

1600
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:05,960
Speaker 1: it their own and they just become something else. So

1601
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:08,600
Speaker 1: it's uh, it's definitely been enjoyed to be to be

1602
01:19:08,640 --> 01:19:10,439
Speaker 1: around all of these guys all and young guys, everybody

1603
01:19:10,479 --> 01:19:13,040
Speaker 1: in the offense. To see Josh Allen close up close

1604
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:15,320
Speaker 1: and personal, man like we got a great team, and

1605
01:19:15,360 --> 01:19:18,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited about it. I see that at all right

1606
01:19:18,160 --> 01:19:19,720
Speaker 1: today because every time we talked to him is so

1607
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:22,360
Speaker 1: kind of like quiet. Then he got out there was

1608
01:19:22,400 --> 01:19:24,719
Speaker 1: like you just slapped the guy in the health. Gregg's

1609
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:27,120
Speaker 1: a demon, and I'm gonna bringing out of them. You know,

1610
01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:30,200
Speaker 1: I've been feeding them gunpowder and gasoline. I haven't feed

1611
01:19:30,280 --> 01:19:33,040
Speaker 1: him gunpowder and gasoline at lunch and breakfast. And it's

1612
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:37,679
Speaker 1: good to see him come out of here and go crazy.

1613
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:47,439
Speaker 1: Iron sharp, iron got the guy. I think it's more

1614
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:50,200
Speaker 1: so like this offense is long. I think, um, going

1615
01:19:50,240 --> 01:19:54,200
Speaker 1: against Dean Dawkins and you know and and and qu

1616

Speaker 1: In Queensberry and you know all these guys. These guys

1617
01:19:57,000 --> 01:19:58,600

01:21:39,479 --> 01:21:42,080
Speaker 1: do a great job. And you, um, you let guys

1656
01:21:42,160 --> 01:21:44,040
Speaker 1: uh that's not here at practice feel like they're here

1657
01:21:44,040 --> 01:21:46,080
Speaker 1: at practice and you know, all the big moments, you

1658
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,320
Speaker 1: guys capture it, you know, and um, yeah, I appreciate

1659
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:50,040
Speaker 1: you girls. Hats off to you guys. You guys are

1660
01:21:50,040 --> 01:21:55,799
Speaker 1: doing a great job. All right. That's von Miller serving

1661
01:21:55,880 --> 01:22:00,640
Speaker 1: up gunpowder and gasoline. Greg Bruso just to get him

1662
01:22:00,680 --> 01:22:04,360
Speaker 1: going out there like a craze dog. We know, you

1663
01:22:04,360 --> 01:22:07,120
Speaker 1: know we've talked to Greg, remember when when he got drafted,

1664
01:22:07,160 --> 01:22:10,160
Speaker 1: we had him on the show, and you know, he's

1665
01:22:10,160 --> 01:22:12,840
Speaker 1: a he's a polite young man. Uh, you know, raised

1666
01:22:13,120 --> 01:22:16,439
Speaker 1: by good parents and stuff, and right, that's all well

1667
01:22:16,479 --> 01:22:20,120
Speaker 1: and good. He's a consummate teammate, does his homework, puts

1668
01:22:20,120 --> 01:22:21,680
Speaker 1: in the work. I mean, he's added ten pounds of

1669
01:22:21,760 --> 01:22:25,360
Speaker 1: lean muscle mask to his frame. Von watches him play

1670
01:22:25,400 --> 01:22:27,800
Speaker 1: and now he wants he wants the guy to be

1671
01:22:28,640 --> 01:22:33,880
Speaker 1: spitting fire out there. Well, it's important. We you know,

1672
01:22:33,920 --> 01:22:35,920
Speaker 1: we had the conversation all the time, who's that guy

1673
01:22:35,920 --> 01:22:38,200
Speaker 1: gonna be? For a couple of years here in Buffalo

1674
01:22:38,320 --> 01:22:40,240
Speaker 1: was a guy like John Feliciana, one of those guys

1675
01:22:40,280 --> 01:22:42,639
Speaker 1: who was a mix it up kind of guy. We've

1676
01:22:42,720 --> 01:22:44,920
Speaker 1: you and I have bandied about what we kind of

1677
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:47,120
Speaker 1: think Spencer Brown has a little bit of that in him,

1678
01:22:48,040 --> 01:22:50,360
Speaker 1: the ability to kind of get under the skin and

1679
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:54,000
Speaker 1: not back down from a scuffle on the field. Uh.

1680
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:58,479
Speaker 1: Certainly if one of the other team, and the Bills

1681
01:22:58,479 --> 01:23:02,160
Speaker 1: are prime candidates for the they got a quarterback who's

1682
01:23:02,160 --> 01:23:05,439
Speaker 1: as good as anybody, like the Chiefs do, like the

1683
01:23:05,520 --> 01:23:08,479
Speaker 1: Rams do, like the Packers do. If somebody wants to

1684
01:23:08,479 --> 01:23:13,720
Speaker 1: go sideways at their quarterback, you want a bunch of

1685
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,759
Speaker 1: guys willing to take a big fine to make sure

1686
01:23:18,920 --> 01:23:20,720
Speaker 1: that the message gets sent that if you're gonna do that,

1687
01:23:20,760 --> 01:23:24,680
Speaker 1: you're gonna regret it, and I mean physically and regret it.

1688
01:23:25,479 --> 01:23:27,920
Speaker 1: That's the attitude. If the officials don't save your life,

1689
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:31,960
Speaker 1: you're gonna lose it. That kind of thing. I don't

1690
01:23:31,960 --> 01:23:35,479
Speaker 1: who's that gonna be for the Bills And Von Miller

1691
01:23:35,600 --> 01:23:38,240
Speaker 1: sounds like he's trying to get Greg Russo to find

1692
01:23:38,320 --> 01:23:41,080
Speaker 1: that nugget of grit in himself and bring it out

1693
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:45,280
Speaker 1: more often. Yeah, because there there is. You've talked about

1694
01:23:45,280 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: it a lot. It's not just a physical investment. There

1695
01:23:47,360 --> 01:23:50,120
Speaker 1: is an emotional investment to this game also to play

1696
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:52,720
Speaker 1: at your best, and you have to summon up that

1697
01:23:52,840 --> 01:23:56,120
Speaker 1: juice inside you, especially when you're going as hard as

1698
01:23:56,120 --> 01:24:00,680
Speaker 1: you can for forty fifty sixty snaps. Again, some of

1699
01:24:00,720 --> 01:24:03,439
Speaker 1: the best the best, and Greg Russeau will be in

1700
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:06,799
Speaker 1: that boat each and every week at his defensive end position.

1701
01:24:06,920 --> 01:24:11,719
Speaker 1: So Von who's got oodles of experience in this league

1702
01:24:12,439 --> 01:24:16,000
Speaker 1: and has done a lot of Sundays and Mondays and Thursdays,

1703
01:24:17,000 --> 01:24:20,240
Speaker 1: he obviously sees something there that can be tapped into

1704
01:24:20,320 --> 01:24:23,120
Speaker 1: in Greg and and he's put it on himself to

1705
01:24:23,160 --> 01:24:25,280
Speaker 1: pull it out of him right, and he knows probably too.

1706
01:24:25,360 --> 01:24:27,320
Speaker 1: Von probably knows himself well enough to know he's not

1707
01:24:27,360 --> 01:24:29,960
Speaker 1: going to be that guy. You know, at this point

1708
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,639
Speaker 1: in his career. He's not that kind of guy Greg

1709
01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 1: might be. Or he sees something in Greg Russeau that says,

1710
01:24:36,560 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: you know what, that that's something that'll help him and

1711
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,880
Speaker 1: help the team. There are other guys there too. I mean,

1712
01:24:42,200 --> 01:24:44,200
Speaker 1: if Greg Russo is not the only guy Von Miller's

1713
01:24:44,240 --> 01:24:48,280
Speaker 1: talking to, there are others AJ Boogie, all those guys.

1714
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:51,160
Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting to see this team take it.

1715
01:24:51,320 --> 01:24:52,840
Speaker 1: You and I have talked a lot about Certainly there's

1716
01:24:52,840 --> 01:24:56,240
Speaker 1: guys down inside. You know, Jordan Phillips is not shying

1717
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:01,040
Speaker 1: away from anything on a football field. When he we

1718
01:25:01,200 --> 01:25:03,800
Speaker 1: laugh because he's such a different guy off the field

1719
01:25:03,840 --> 01:25:05,600
Speaker 1: and on the field. It seems like he feels like

1720
01:25:05,640 --> 01:25:09,160
Speaker 1: a little less inhibited by social norms, you know, you

1721
01:25:09,200 --> 01:25:11,439
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Jordan Phillips is a guy who

1722
01:25:11,479 --> 01:25:13,479
Speaker 1: plays to the crowd. He gets his arm going, He's

1723
01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: get that emotional guy. He's one of those demonstrative on

1724
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:18,320
Speaker 1: the field guys who are down in the middle of it.

1725
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:24,040
Speaker 1: Off the field, he's, you know, the most disappearing three

1726
01:25:24,120 --> 01:25:26,720
Speaker 1: hundred and forty pound man you'll ever come across. So

1727
01:25:27,880 --> 01:25:30,479
Speaker 1: everybody's got away that they do it. And if von

1728
01:25:30,560 --> 01:25:32,719
Speaker 1: Miller thinks he can tap into that with Greg Rousseau,

1729
01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:34,120
Speaker 1: I think it'll be a good thing for the Buffalo

1730
01:25:34,120 --> 01:25:39,000
Speaker 1: Bills and Russo's career as well. I'm wondering, like who

1731
01:25:39,520 --> 01:25:42,439
Speaker 1: who's the biggest beneficiary. I mean, we all believe that

1732
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:44,240
Speaker 1: von Miller is going to be a productive player. I

1733
01:25:44,240 --> 01:25:46,560
Speaker 1: think people are pretty excited about what Ed Oliver is

1734
01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:50,719
Speaker 1: going to do with this defensive line. Is there going

1735
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:55,160
Speaker 1: to be like a surprise performer? Obviously Baldi thinks it's Rousseau.

1736
01:25:55,280 --> 01:25:57,320
Speaker 1: He thinks he's gonna have a breakout season this year.

1737
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,280
Speaker 1: Is he the beneficiary? Is he the mary beneficiary? Because

1738
01:26:01,320 --> 01:26:02,960
Speaker 1: of all the attention that's going to be paid to

1739
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:08,040
Speaker 1: Oliver and Miller, presumably, I don't know. It's really interesting,

1740
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,560
Speaker 1: I do not know, because if he gets out of

1741
01:26:10,600 --> 01:26:13,000
Speaker 1: the out of the gates like a house on fire,

1742
01:26:13,520 --> 01:26:15,920
Speaker 1: that'll all change. By week eight, they'll be, you know,

1743
01:26:15,960 --> 01:26:18,599
Speaker 1: Greg Russeau will be the focal point of the protection calls.

1744
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:22,360
Speaker 1: It's really interesting to see when the whole because you

1745
01:26:22,400 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: got to take the whole season is one package. You

1746
01:26:24,320 --> 01:26:26,120
Speaker 1: can't just go into Week one think this is how

1747
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,360
Speaker 1: it's going to be with every team, because the Rams

1748
01:26:28,360 --> 01:26:30,040
Speaker 1: are a much different team than some of the others

1749
01:26:30,080 --> 01:26:33,840
Speaker 1: got teams on the schedule. Yea, as we've come to

1750
01:26:33,880 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: know and realize that this point in history in the NFL,

1751
01:26:37,520 --> 01:26:41,400
Speaker 1: these teams are vastly different week to week, not only

1752
01:26:41,400 --> 01:26:43,800
Speaker 1: in the game plan and the way they're prepared, but

1753
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: which players are going to be the great players, particularly offensively,

1754
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:52,760
Speaker 1: and I think that makes the NFL at this point

1755
01:26:52,760 --> 01:26:55,360
Speaker 1: in history really intriguing in a way that it hasn't

1756
01:26:55,360 --> 01:26:57,720
Speaker 1: been in Era's pass You've always looked for stars, and

1757
01:26:57,800 --> 01:27:00,800
Speaker 1: certainly Bills fans look for Digs and john They're always

1758
01:27:00,800 --> 01:27:05,240
Speaker 1: in the center of things. But I think defensively, in

1759
01:27:05,360 --> 01:27:07,680
Speaker 1: a team like Buffalo, particularly the way they roll their

1760
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:12,200
Speaker 1: guys through, when they've got a group of defensive linemen

1761
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:15,360
Speaker 1: that are a level like they are, I think you

1762
01:27:15,439 --> 01:27:19,000
Speaker 1: really have a chance to see, like like they do

1763
01:27:19,040 --> 01:27:21,960
Speaker 1: on offense, have a different guy. You know, one week

1764
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:24,880
Speaker 1: Ed gets two Sexs, the next week gets von Miller,

1765
01:27:24,880 --> 01:27:27,719
Speaker 1: the next week, you know, to see guys rotate around

1766
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:31,920
Speaker 1: depending on what the protection says. It's gonna be a

1767
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: lot of fun. I don't know how this team's gonna

1768
01:27:33,880 --> 01:27:35,240
Speaker 1: how it's gonna look at the end of the year.

1769
01:27:35,439 --> 01:27:38,759
Speaker 1: You know who's gonna be beneficiary. I think the production

1770
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:41,680
Speaker 1: may vacillate back and forth because you don't know who

1771
01:27:41,720 --> 01:27:44,960
Speaker 1: to double one week to the next, and you've got

1772
01:27:44,960 --> 01:27:47,640
Speaker 1: guys that are all capable. It's yeah, I don't know.

1773
01:27:47,640 --> 01:27:49,479
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's anything I'm more excited about

1774
01:27:49,479 --> 01:27:51,960
Speaker 1: that it's him line and it's been a consistent thing

1775
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 1: for me and it hasn't changed. We gotta take a break,

1776
01:27:55,040 --> 01:27:56,600
Speaker 1: Steve and I to close things up next year on

1777
01:27:56,600 --> 01:28:12,719
Speaker 1: One Bill's Lives. Stay where you are, all right, Welcome

1784
01:28:32,600 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: Brownie says, it's one of the really good ones. I

1785
01:28:34,680 --> 01:28:37,480
Speaker 1: think it's our best one yet. Really had a fascinating

1786
01:28:37,520 --> 01:28:40,720
Speaker 1: conversation with Chad Hall about the wide receiver room, some

1787
01:28:40,960 --> 01:28:44,240
Speaker 1: really in depth conversation there and how things might look

1788
01:28:44,600 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 1: once we get to the regular season, particularly in the

1789
01:28:47,320 --> 01:28:51,479
Speaker 1: slot and we dive into the slot position, it's recent

1790
01:28:51,600 --> 01:28:54,639
Speaker 1: history and here in Buffalo under Cole Beasley and what

1791
01:28:54,680 --> 01:28:57,040
Speaker 1: it's going to look like now that Cole Beasley is

1792
01:28:57,080 --> 01:29:00,200
Speaker 1: no longer on the roster. Along with some numbers game

1793
01:29:00,240 --> 01:29:02,560
Speaker 1: for Steve, who actually did really well this week on

1794
01:29:02,600 --> 01:29:04,519
Speaker 1: the numbers game. That's why it was our best ever

1795
01:29:04,680 --> 01:29:08,599
Speaker 1: right there. Yeah, I made the difference. You did make

1796
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:11,320
Speaker 1: a difference. It's nice job by you. So Bill's buy

1797
