00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: is and it's kind of awesome. I know you're awesome.

10
00:00:48,320 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: We tucked you into it during the course of the week. Yeah,

11
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 1: early in the week Steve was like free food, free food.

12
00:00:53,720 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: Got a shirt out of there. And the most important thing,

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 1: Steve has not one, not too but three new pairs

14
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,480
Speaker 1: of sunk glasses that he bought along the throwaway on

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: there's one of them five dollars a piece. Those are sweet. Yeah,

16
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:11,400
Speaker 1: it's worth five dollars worth every penny. Absolutely absolutely got

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 1: to stand out on the sideline. What I do need

18
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 1: is a folding chair so I can watch practice and

19
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: comfort out there on the side. Steve made me pull

20
00:01:18,959 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 1: over on the side of the road and stop at

21
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:25,200
Speaker 1: one of those through way. I did because I'd driven

22
00:01:25,240 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: down this road once before, early in the summer, and

23
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: I didn't have five bucks on me so and they

24
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: only took cash, right, so I listen. I took a

25
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 1: picture of the three models I wanted. And then it's

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:37,959
Speaker 1: been like a month later. I still got. You know,

27
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,400
Speaker 1: you go back and think this one, this one, so

28
00:01:40,440 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: I got. Steve gets in the car at eight this

29
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: Moe and says, hey, we gotta gotta stop, and I

30
00:01:44,319 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 1: know where to stop it. I won, and he's right.

31
00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,480
Speaker 1: He stopped. He stopped for coffee for you. Yeah, and

32
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: then this for sunglasses for me. We're glad to be here.

33
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: It's great. The bills are here as well. Meetings, last night, meetings,

Speaker 1: day and only nighttime practice at training camp on the nighttime.

44
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,919
Speaker 1: I understand why you may want to limit that. It

45
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 1: the nighttime practice at camp screws up the schedule for

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: a couple of days. Really, right, you can't jump on

47
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,440
Speaker 1: the field first thing the next day, that's right, that's

48
00:02:34,480 --> 00:02:36,720

Speaker 1: available at our website Buffalo bills dot com. Tell them

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,639
Speaker 1: about this. Came to Murph and a dream this Twitter

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 1: question today and it was it was awesome and we're

61
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,880

62
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:15,240
Speaker 1: feedback we get on the Twitter. Question is how because

63
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 1: we put it out about eleven thirty, about a half

64
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,720
Speaker 1: hour before the show comes on, and and uh, it

65
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:22,160
Speaker 1: was a really good question, and it's really debatable, and

66
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: we're getting a lot of feedback. And I'm glad we're

67
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: getting feedback because we've had complaints about the app. People

68
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: are having trouble listening to the show. We appreciate all

69
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: the effort you're putting into to listening to it because

70
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,320
Speaker 1: people are struggling to get it. If you're if you're

71
00:03:33,320 --> 00:03:36,600
Speaker 1: not listening to it on the airwaves, live audio, the radio,

72
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: dot com apps. We've had a couple of complaints, a

73
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:44,440
Speaker 1: couple couple this is your issue, Yeah, a couple hundred places,

74
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: but it we appreciate it, and and we've also yeah,

75
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:48,840
Speaker 1: we've also there are other ways you can do it.

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: You can get us and it was we appreciate the

77
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,120
Speaker 1: there's a ton of people that have that have really

78
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 1: reached out to us and said they've had some problem.

79
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:57,160
Speaker 1: But we know there are a lot of people trying

80
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: to listen. We appreciate kind of hanging there with us.

81
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 1: They're gonna work the bugs out of it. We're gonna

82
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 1: be if you just hang in there. We're on every

83
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: day from New to three, so find a way if

84
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,360
Speaker 1: you can. But they get your life's mission. But the

85
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: reason I bring that up is because we're getting a

86
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: ton of feedback, so there's a lot of people watching

87
00:04:11,960 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: us on Twitter. And since this came to you in

88
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: a dream, if I'm gonna let you either one. It

89
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: was a sleepless period a couple of nights ago, and

90
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,720
Speaker 1: actually once they signed Josh Allen yesterday before we went

91
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: out of the air, we had a better we had

92
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,640
Speaker 1: a much better Tribua or Tribua Twitter question yesterday and

93
00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 1: today we have a question that it was the middle

94
00:04:31,800 --> 00:04:33,479
Speaker 1: of the night question which usually when I do my

95
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 1: best thought, and it deals with Sean McDermott. Look, his

96
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: second year, second year is head coach. A lot accomplished

97
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,120
Speaker 1: last year, most importantly the end of the seven Junior

98
00:04:42,200 --> 00:04:45,400
Speaker 1: playoff drout. It maybe even more important to laying the

99
00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: groundwork for the type of team he wants, the type

100
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,039
Speaker 1: of player he wants. Here and here it is a

101
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: whole new season starting essentially today with a start of

102
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: training camp twenty eighteen season. So the question is what

103
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 1: kind of challenge is Bill's head coach Sean McDermott facing

104
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,040
Speaker 1: for the twenty eighteen season. And think about it, Oh,

105
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 1: you'd like I can make an argument, and I did

106
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: when I was tossing and turning the other night, for

107
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: both sides of it. What kind of a challenge? Is

108
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 1: it a bigger challenge? Is it a lesser challenge? Is

109
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: it pretty much the same? Let us know what you think.

110
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 1: Give us a call. The phone line's open eight oh

114
00:05:21,800 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 1: and let us know what you think. Kind of a

115
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,919
Speaker 1: challenge is Sean McDermott have this year? Sixty four percent,

116
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 1: almost two thirds of you in the early balloting here

117
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: say you think it's a bigger challenge. Only eleven percent

118
00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:34,320
Speaker 1: of you think the challenge is less than it was

119
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: a year ago. For Sean, twenty five percent think it's

120
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:40,200
Speaker 1: the same. In order to think about this, I think correctly,

121
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:43,040
Speaker 1: and to give us a good thoughtful answer, you got

122
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: to think about where we were a year ago at

123
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,040
Speaker 1: this time, See where were a year ago, first year

124
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:49,920
Speaker 1: head coach coming in here trying, you know, with a

125
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: different offensive coordinator that he has now, trying to lay

126
00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 1: the groundwork, trying to set the foundation for the type

127
00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:58,479
Speaker 1: of team he wants. Things changed quickly, right with Trades

128
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks into camp watch and Darby and

129
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: and Anquan Bolden shows up for a couple of weeks

130
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: and it was, um, it was a challenge last year,

131
00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: I think for Sean mcdermots, particularly in the early going.

132
00:06:07,960 --> 00:06:09,719
Speaker 1: And you think now about where where they went and

133
00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: the and the odyssey that that season became and how

134
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:15,320
Speaker 1: it ultimately ended up. You can talk and I was

135
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: gonna I was gonna laugh. We could you and I

136
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: we could make a deal for one part of the show.

137
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: I'll take the bigger challenge. You take the lesson. We

138
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: can flip it because I can. I can see both

139
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:28,479
Speaker 1: of them. Because you think last year, first year head

140
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,799
Speaker 1: coach trying to instill, uh, you know, a new culture,

141
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 1: new offense, a new defense, trying to shape the personnel

142
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: from a three four to a four three on the

143
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:43,880
Speaker 1: defensive side of completely new secondary that we had know

144
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:50,520
Speaker 1: nothing about. Uh, you had a quarterback that was an

145
00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: incumbent but still running in a brand new offense, and

146
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: yet you know, question marks about how well they're gonna

147
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: be able to throw the football and all that plus

148
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 1: a new coaching. All that stuff was going on. Then

149
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: you see them come out make the trades they did.

150
00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:05,680
Speaker 1: They get accused of tanking earding this season. They've traded

151
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,080
Speaker 1: some talented players. Then they begin to overachieve as the

152
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: season starts to roll. And then things change for this team,

153
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, and the culture took root and things change.

154
00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: And now this year rookie quarterback or first year starting quarterback,

155
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 1: whoever it is, they're going to be a first year

156
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: starting quarterback, new coordinator, a new coordinator, brand new offense.

157
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:28,440
Speaker 1: Three different spots that the offensive line have been changed

158
00:07:28,480 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: or will be, well two of them will be new

159
00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 1: and different. Uh, a brand new first training camp for

160
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:40,040
Speaker 1: Kelvin Benjamin wide receiver has been completely is a completely

161
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: new crew. A distraction from your top player really may

162
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: or may not miss some time. Your best player on

163
00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the football is LaShaun McCoy, who's

164
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 1: been nothing but distracted for the last two and a

165
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: half three weeks. Uh, that issue hanging over him. Uh.

166
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 1: And and then on the other side, you've got a

167
00:07:57,320 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: bunch of new faces on the front seven of the defense.

168
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:06,680
Speaker 1: Um and raised expectations, I think. And it's hard. Look,

169
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: I think most Bills fans, most of our viewers and

170
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 1: listeners know the deal with this team. But it's hard

171
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: after making the playoffs, after enjoying that little run last year,

172
00:08:14,840 --> 00:08:17,560
Speaker 1: voluntarily take a step back. Yeahbody's doing now? Or to

173
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 1: think we're okay. You know, I'm okay if we don't

174
00:08:19,960 --> 00:08:21,680
Speaker 1: make the playoffs, Well, none of us are, right. None

175
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: of us have lowered expectations. I don't think, and certainly

176
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and his crew doesn't have lower expectations. And yet, um,

177
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:32,000
Speaker 1: you know, the expectations are there. He's got to deal

178
00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 1: with that. We were a playoff team last year. Why

179
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:34,880
Speaker 1: aren't you the player? And I'll tell you what for

180
00:08:34,920 --> 00:08:38,439
Speaker 1: Whatever the expectations are externally, they're higher inter Internally. They

181
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: have got they got hopes and dreams for this season.

182
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,120
Speaker 1: They're they're thinking believe me and you can you can

183
00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 1: shrug it off as coach. They are thinking championship. They're

184
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 1: thinking taking a step further and I'm not thinking Super

185
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:52,079
Speaker 1: Bowl winning season right this minute, but they are thinking

186
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,079
Speaker 1: division title, they are thinking a double digit win season.

187
00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:57,920
Speaker 1: They are thinking every week when they walk into it,

188
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 1: they're gonna win, and they're gonna win, and they're gonna

189
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: and convincingly you're gonna play well. Those are the expectations

190
00:09:03,040 --> 00:09:05,200
Speaker 1: they have internally. That's the way it is for every

191
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: NFL team, So internally the expectations are always higher than

192
00:09:08,360 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: they are externally. So whatever you have for them coming

193
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: into this year, despite the changes, they expect more of themselves.

194
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: And I think that's the thing that people forget, and

195
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: that's you know, we talk about bigger, lesser challenge. Wow,

196
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: you know it's it's a tough call. It's aching argument

228
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:49,599
Speaker 1: They're both veterans right now, the only two players that

229
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:52,160

Speaker 1: pretty amazing performance. So that's where we're at. That's what

237
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:15,160
Speaker 1: the show looks like, a lot of talk with you

238
00:11:15,280 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: and a couple of interviews with some of our favorites

239
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 1: from the Buffalo locker room. As training camp begins, you

240
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 1: could not ask for better weather, although there are some

241
00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: clouds off there, but it's gonna be perfect today and

242
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 1: perfect for this evenings of practice, and I'm looking forward

243
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 1: to seeing it. You know, you have all these and

244
00:11:29,480 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: you talked about the off season. We're talking on the

245
00:11:31,559 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: drive down here about the off season. We do three

246
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: hours a day, you fill with content, you discuss things.

247
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 1: Today we begin to get some answers, which makes the

248
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 1: day fun. I think we begin. Not all the answers

249
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: come today, but some of them could. But here's the thing,

250
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:46,480
Speaker 1: you and I, because we sit here and watch and

251
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: and you get a feeling, you get a perception. And

252
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 1: now it's funny too, because just one rep on a problem.

253
00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:55,120
Speaker 1: I mean I was standing here at the railing watching

254
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: him walk through, and I was watching the D line

255
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: walk through all their stunts and maneuvers, and and you

256
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: can start to make assertions and assumptions about what the

257
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,280
Speaker 1: team's gonna look like just from watching one part of

258
00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: one drill, watching all those guys walk in and out,

259
00:12:10,800 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 1: who the number ones are, who the number two's are,

260
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 1: how they're working, m the communication between them. The answers

261
00:12:17,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: start to come out. They can start to flow out quickly.

262
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: But then as soon as you get those answers, I

263
00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: got different questions now. And that's the That's the thing

264
00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 1: that that just is so fun about training camp. It's

265
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,800
Speaker 1: I want to see whether the questions that I have

266
00:12:33,880 --> 00:12:38,239
Speaker 1: answered now, uh or you know how those are gonna

267
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:40,600
Speaker 1: evolve over the course of this training camp. Who's gonna

268
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: be better, who's gonna be worse. It's just it's just

269
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: so fun and what an interesting to watch here. This

270
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:46,600
Speaker 1: is just me and this is a reporter in me.

271
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: But leaving work yesterday, I deliberately brought a brand new

272
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: one of these nice uh yeah spok with a hard

273
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: back to take it out and watch practice. And I

274
00:12:56,880 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: know that by the time we get out of here

275
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: August fifteenth, this will be filled with observations, with stuff

276
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: that I've seen, with questions that I have. That to

277
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: me is part of the fun of it, you know,

278
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,680
Speaker 1: seeing what you've thought about for a couple of months,

279
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: seeing how things play out. And because we're just like

280
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:12,760
Speaker 1: the fans too, because everything you write down, whether it's

281
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,240
Speaker 1: off the wall or what it's valid because you saw it.

282
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,720
Speaker 1: You were standing there and something told you and gave

283
00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: you your opinion. And that's totally value. You've already that things.

284
00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: We're not gonna make it. It's not gonna make it

285
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:28,560
Speaker 1: till August fifteenth. I'll get something that'll crowbar in your

286
00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:31,080
Speaker 1: wallet and get a nice one that's slim like you know,

287
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: I like that one I'll get something like that. Let's

288
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: hear from your eight h three oh five fifty and

289
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:37,880
Speaker 1: toll free one eight eight eight five fifty two five

290
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: fifty Sean McDermott expectations for him this year, the challenge

291
00:13:42,679 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: for him more importantly, is it larger than last year?

292
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: Similar to last year? What do you think? Give us

293
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: a call. Let's go to the tweet sheets some of

294
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,280
Speaker 1: the folks who have responded by a twitter. Nick says

295
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,079
Speaker 1: this offense will have a lot to prove. Shady will

296
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 1: be swallowed alive on the field with no passing attack

297
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:59,640
Speaker 1: and no proven wide receivers. A patchwork O line will

298
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:05,199
Speaker 1: miss Nasty Ritchie for sure. Is it a patchwork offensive line? Uh, well,

299
00:14:05,200 --> 00:14:08,079
Speaker 1: it's different. I don't think it's patchwork because I think

300
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna have I think they're gonna have five quality

301
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:13,760
Speaker 1: starting guys and and maybe maybe six or seven. You

302
00:14:13,760 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: always want to have like seven or eight of those guys.

303
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: That's the hard thing to do getting good depth on

304
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,360
Speaker 1: your offensive line. But I don't think any question the

305
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: guys that they're gonna they've got five, got they've got

306
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,000
Speaker 1: more than that. They've got six or seven guys right

307
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,080
Speaker 1: now who have started a number of games in the NFL,

308
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:29,880
Speaker 1: and there's no doubt that this is gonna be a

309
00:14:29,920 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 1: new offense. And to be very honest with you, and

310
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: I know it's I know it's kool aid sipping right now,

311
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: but these offensive liner that are stepping up to the

312
00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: plate this year are gonna be in a different offense

313
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 1: than they were last year. And if you remember it,

314
00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: and Bill's fans, I know they will. Uh Rick Dennison

315
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 1: was the offensive coordinator to begin last year. They struggled

316
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 1: that offensive line that everybody's looking back to. The You

317
00:14:50,880 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 1: look back at that offensive line, say wow, with Eric

318
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:56,119
Speaker 1: Wood and Richie Incognito, they were still good. They struggled

319
00:14:56,200 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: in a new offensive system last year. So flip the

320
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,920
Speaker 1: one on that and think about this. A new offense

321
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: may be exactly what some of these guys need to thrive.

322
00:15:06,520 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: Guy like John Miller may come up and say, wow,

323
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: he has really taken a step forward. Ryan Groy Russell Bodine,

324
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: who had probably last year for the Cincinnati Bengals, probably

325
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:19,320
Speaker 1: had his worst year as a Bengal last year, even

326
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: though he started all sixteen games. He's one of those

327
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,920
Speaker 1: guys that you never see out of the lineup. This

328
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: is a kind of place where you come in and

329
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,800
Speaker 1: all of a sudden he gets back to the point

330
00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: where he was. All of that is very much in

331
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: play in my opinion, that's exactly what the coaching staff's

332
00:15:32,800 --> 00:15:34,840
Speaker 1: counting on. You're going to give them a new chance

333
00:15:34,880 --> 00:15:38,000
Speaker 1: to be refurbished in the offensive line may jump out

334
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 1: and be and without much effort, we'll have a better

335
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:43,240
Speaker 1: first start to the season up to the bye week

336
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: last year of week six to seven eight last year,

337
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,960
Speaker 1: I don't win the by was what last year? But

338
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:49,440
Speaker 1: remember they went back and switched back to the old

339
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: poll and trap and all that power stuff they did

340
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:54,560
Speaker 1: two years ago, and they got better from then on.

341
00:15:54,960 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 1: And as much as they struggled early, they may not

342
00:15:57,840 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 1: do that this year and may come out and thrive off.

343
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,080
Speaker 1: I had a really good conversation a couple of days

344
00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:05,720
Speaker 1: ago with one Castillo, the Bill's offensive line coach, just informal,

345
00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 1: not an interview, but we got talking about his group.

346
00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: He likes his group. He likes his group a lot.

347
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 1: He went right down the line. He said, Dawkins is

348
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: a stud. His word left guard. He says, lad Ducos

349
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,160
Speaker 1: played some left tackle in his NFL career, and he

350
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: thinks he'll be comfortable at left guard. He doesn't know

351
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,600
Speaker 1: how it's going to break out at center, Groy or Bodine. Groy,

352
00:16:26,680 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: of course, had the successful what nine game stint in

353
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 1: place of Eric Wood a couple of seasons ago. Bodine,

354
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:36,400
Speaker 1: he says, we've corrected some some mechanical some technique issues,

355
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: and they think he has a lot to offer after

356
00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: as you point out, a long stint as a starter

357
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,320
Speaker 1: in Cincinnati, John Miller, we've talked about this maybe the

358
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:46,240
Speaker 1: comeback story of the year. We'll see how it plays

359
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: out at right guard, and then of course Jordan Mills,

360
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: who they happened to think as a pretty decent player

361
00:16:51,560 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 1: and coming off a pretty decent second half of last year.

362
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: Castillo likes his group a lot. He sees some depth

363
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: too coming up. You know, that's why I would objectively

364
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:03,920
Speaker 1: calling that group mentioned. I don't think it's patchwork. I

365
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:06,800
Speaker 1: think it's new. There's a new faces. But patchwork can

366
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:09,760
Speaker 1: me indicates just grabbing people and throwing him in. Did

367
00:17:09,760 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 1: you mention whyatt teller I asked him about right. That's

368
00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:16,720
Speaker 1: the thing and here's the thing with John Miller. You

369
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: think about his career. I think this is gonna be

370
00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:21,520
Speaker 1: his fourth year in the league, correct, John Miller. So

371
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,119
Speaker 1: he came out first year. He kind of struggled a

372
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:25,399
Speaker 1: little bit his first year, and then remember even the

373
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: websites were all saying John Miller was the most improved

374
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: right guard in the National Football League one year to two,

375
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 1: and then last year of course he had So he's

376
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,840
Speaker 1: been riding a little bit of a roller coaster. But

377
00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:36,760
Speaker 1: the good play is in there. It's not like he's

378
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 1: not capable of it, because you saw two years ago

379
00:17:39,560 --> 00:17:41,879
Speaker 1: the huge leap he took forward, and you got to

380
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 1: think with a new offense and new and I think

381
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: he's one of those guys that looks himself saying, man,

382
00:17:46,840 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: I gotta you know, I don't like people talking about

383
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,919
Speaker 1: me like they talked about me my rookie season. So

384
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,720
Speaker 1: he came out his second year and did it. He's

385
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 1: having trouble main you know, he does. He can't stand success,

386
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, So maybe the roller coaster comes back this year,

387
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 1: but there's no question and John Miller has been a

388
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: little bit of a roller coaster year to year in

389
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:04,880
Speaker 1: his career so far, and this coming into his fourth

390
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 1: year We'll see how he turns out. But the good

391
00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 1: play and the good level of ability are in there somewhere,

392
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:12,120
Speaker 1: and it's a one cast you to get it out.

393
00:18:12,240 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 1: What do you think bigger challenge less your challenge for

394
00:18:14,600 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: Bill's head coach Sean McDermott this year than last. Give

395
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,199
Speaker 1: us a call. We got lines open eight oh three

396
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: oh five fifty and toll free one eight eight eight

397
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,760
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty or a company alive from

398
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:28,159
Speaker 1: Buffalovill's training camp nineteenth year here at Saint John Fisher

399
00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:31,720
Speaker 1: College in Rochester. From the tweet sheet Wandering Jack. It

400
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:34,760
Speaker 1: is a bigger challenge, at least on offense. Last year

401
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 1: he had an experienced quarterback and venter in O line.

402
00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,719
Speaker 1: Those positions and wide receiver are in flux, and there

403
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,359
Speaker 1: will be growing pains with a new system no matter

404
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 1: who is the quarterback. But the silver lining in his

405
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:47,359
Speaker 1: defense will be stronger second year in the system, Plus

406
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 1: there's new talent. The quarterback question is interesting, and we've

407
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:53,359
Speaker 1: talked about, you know, we've talked about this thirty first

408
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: ranked passing attack last year, and yet the Bills make

409
00:18:56,840 --> 00:19:00,280
Speaker 1: a move with Tyrod Taylor bringing in a seven pick

410
00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,720
Speaker 1: overall and a couple of guys where they had Peterman

411
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: here in an effort to get better in a passing game,

412
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,760
Speaker 1: we'll see. I'd be extremely encouraged that if they could

413
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,560
Speaker 1: get better, I think they will be better than thirty

414
00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:16,440
Speaker 1: first passing attack this year. There may be more turnovers

415
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: in the passing game this year. I think you could

416
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: expect that that was Tyrode's strength and it was a

417
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,720
Speaker 1: huge strength for him. He wouldn't turn the ball over here,

418
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:26,280
Speaker 1: but he also wouldn't do some other things. So it's

419
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:29,399
Speaker 1: an interesting question the change at quarterback this year, tyrod gone.

420
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 1: Are they better in the passing game? Is that a

421
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: bigger challenge for Sean McDermott. I don't know. I can't

422
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: wait to start getting some results on it, and that

423
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,560
Speaker 1: you're getting that from the tweet sheet as well. Team

424
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 1: Many twenty two says that, no question, it's a bigger challenge.

425
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:42,840
Speaker 1: Quarterback is by far the most important position on the field,

426
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: and we have three potential options. Just a competition at

427
00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,040
Speaker 1: that position with a splitting of reps, evaluating while installing

428
00:19:50,040 --> 00:19:52,399
Speaker 1: a new offense, that is a serious challenge. And that's

429
00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: a good tweet from Team any twenty two. And that's

430
00:19:54,080 --> 00:19:57,600
Speaker 1: kind of the consensus around you know, the Bill's fan

431
00:19:57,680 --> 00:20:01,640
Speaker 1: base and here one one Bills drive. You you've got

432
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: this competition with three different guys, and you know what

433
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,399
Speaker 1: you had last year in Tyrod there you were limited.

434
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 1: There's no doubt that. And I feel confident say that

435
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: the Bills are not going to be thirty first in

436
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,399
Speaker 1: passing in twenty eighteen. They're going to be better than that,

437
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 1: but they're gonna turn it over more. Yeah, Tyrod. And

438
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:21,919
Speaker 1: that's one of the true gifts that the defense was

439
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: turning and getting turnovers. It's such a high rate. Earlier

440
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: in this season, Tyrod never turned it over. That's a

441
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: hard combination for anybody to beat, no matter how poorly

442
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,480
Speaker 1: you stop the run or how poorly your pass rush

443
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: is the Bills getting turnovers like they did superseded everything

444
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,119
Speaker 1: because they never turned it over and they were getting

445
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,840
Speaker 1: a plus two plus three turnover ratio once in a while.

446
00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: Man oh man, you talk about a tough combination to beat.

447
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,960
Speaker 1: That was it. And then when they rode that to

448
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,159
Speaker 1: the playoffs, and when you think about the challenge for

449
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott if they don't get that rate of plus

450
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, plus minus plus minus, it's a bigger challenge, right,

451
00:20:59,359 --> 00:21:01,679
Speaker 1: Not that that was not an accident last year, and

452
00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 1: we'll talk with Lorenzo and Kyle about this. That did

453
00:21:04,240 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 1: not happen by accident. But if they're not turning the

454
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,800
Speaker 1: ball over the way they did, you know, if they're

455
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,320
Speaker 1: not getting the takeaways on defense and turning it over

456
00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,639
Speaker 1: more offensively, the challenge increases for Sean McDermot. That was

457
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 1: a big factor for the Bills last year. Yeah, and

458
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: after and from Tiffany you might have read the one

459
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:25,360
Speaker 1: from Tiffany Daniels after breaking the drought, the expectations are

460
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,520
Speaker 1: even higher moving forward. Now it's time to be a

461
00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: force in the AFC and eventually winning playoff games has

462
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:34,040
Speaker 1: to be the result of hard work, the hard work

463
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 1: coach puts in on a daily basis. And you're right,

464
00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,800
Speaker 1: the expectations go high. If not. Now you don't want

465
00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:40,919
Speaker 1: to just go to the playoffs. You want to win

466
00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: a playoff game. You want to get deeper into the playoffs.

467
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,320
Speaker 1: You want to make a run into the playoffs. Maybe

468
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:48,720
Speaker 1: get a bye week in the opening weekend of the

469
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: playoffs and get a home playoff game. And I thought,

470
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: that's one thing that I think the franchise and the

471
00:21:56,359 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: Bills fan base in Buffalo has missed throughout all, forget

472
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,440
Speaker 1: the drought and all, not just going to the playoffs, Murph,

473
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:08,639
Speaker 1: but you're a home playoff game. What's that? What is

474
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 1: that is? Is an unbelievable gift. It is unbelievable. It's amazing,

475
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,879
Speaker 1: it is it is It's one of the all times

476
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 1: super things that happened to an NFL franchise. And and

477
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: it'll be awesome if the Bills can get to a

478
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,920
Speaker 1: level where this year where they can actually make that happen.

479
00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:28,879
Speaker 1: I'd be something. Oh my gosh, um that gives you

480
00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: goose bumps. Even as far as news here, most of

481
00:22:32,800 --> 00:22:35,200
Speaker 1: the news came yesterday. As we mentioned, the Bills were

482
00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:36,760
Speaker 1: out for a walk through this morning and will be

483
00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 1: on the field at five thirty this afternoon. The news

484
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:44,440
Speaker 1: from yesterday, Zay Jones goes on the UM non football

485
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,240
Speaker 1: injury List, which means he has not been medically cleared

486
00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:50,119
Speaker 1: to practice. UM you would call back in the spring.

487
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,800
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott said there are no guarantee that Zay Jones

488
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,640
Speaker 1: would be ready for the start of camp. They were

489
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:57,439
Speaker 1: hopeful underwent knee surgery in mid May, which is not

490
00:22:57,560 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: have them ready yet. Once day Jones is medically cleared,

491
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 1: he'll be able to participate in practice with the team. Uh.

492
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:06,400
Speaker 1: And the other issue from yesterday, there is an open

493
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:10,600
Speaker 1: roster spot now. Defensive tackle Tenny Palapoy was released by

494
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 1: the team yesterday. Signed this past April as a potential

495
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: backup defensive lineman. UM six defensive tackles on the roster.

496
00:23:18,119 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: Keep an eye on that. They may look to fill

497
00:23:19,720 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 1: that out on the roster, maybe even with some workouts

498
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:25,320
Speaker 1: later today or tomorrow here in Rochester. Uh. It's it's

499
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,119
Speaker 1: it's not good that day Jones isn't ready, but they

500
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: can afford to be patient this first week or two. Steve, Yeah,

501
00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: I agree, it's it's it's concerning because he is a

502
00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: young player. U. It's the guy there leaning up and

503
00:23:35,840 --> 00:23:38,639
Speaker 1: he and he and rewachieved last year. Let's face it.

504
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:41,159
Speaker 1: He wasn't happy with Wade played either, and Uh he

505
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,560
Speaker 1: started this season with too many drops. He was actually

506
00:23:43,600 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 1: moved into a more prominent role with the departure of

507
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: Sammy Watkins Um and then the the inclusion of U.

508
00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 1: The receiver from Philly that Robert Wood note Jordan Jordan Matthews.

509
00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: When George Matthews came over, that kind of saved the

510
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:06,000
Speaker 1: Bills a little bit. But nevertheless, Zay Jones was given

511
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,400
Speaker 1: a pretty prominent role last year, a little bit by

512
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:12,439
Speaker 1: default of the way things fell last year. And you know,

513
00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: I think he needs a training camp to get his

514
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:20,800
Speaker 1: feet under him, to catch the ball, start to see

515
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 1: a whole lap in the NFL and say, oh, you know,

516
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 1: world come out here this year in his training camp

517
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: and he'll say, wow, I've seen this before. Okay, Now

518
00:24:26,600 --> 00:24:28,240
Speaker 1: I feel like I'm got a little more confident. He

519
00:24:28,280 --> 00:24:31,240
Speaker 1: needs a confidence boost, absolutely, and he needs and he's

520
00:24:31,280 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 1: done it in the spring, but he needs to really

521
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,640
Speaker 1: plug into what Terry Robiski can provide him. I played,

522
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: I played for a long time and practiced wide receiver

523
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: for six days a week before I covered kicks on Sundays.

524
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: And young receivers, the biggest thing for them is confidence

525
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 1: in my opinion, because they all get drafted and get

526
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,400
Speaker 1: signed to contracts because they have physical ability. They have

527
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,919
Speaker 1: they bring that to the table. That's and we'll talk

528
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,360
Speaker 1: to Lorenzo Alexander about young guys getting in and how

529
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:03,760
Speaker 1: talent isn't everything. Talent gets your it's your ticket, you know,

530
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: that just gets you in the door. What what gives

531
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,880
Speaker 1: it to you? What gives you your career is your

532
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,360
Speaker 1: hard work, your work ethic, and the confidence you bring

533
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,040
Speaker 1: to the table is saying, you know what, I belong

534
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 1: here and you're not stopping me from earning my spot here.

535
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,160
Speaker 1: And that's kind of the attitude you have to embrace

536
00:25:18,200 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 1: the challenge day, I'm gonna beat this is me, this

537
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: is what this is what I prepared to do. And

538
00:25:22,920 --> 00:25:25,760
Speaker 1: sometimes young receivers, you know, when you step up to

539
00:25:25,800 --> 00:25:28,120
Speaker 1: the line and you've got a guy like Tredavious White

540
00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:31,840
Speaker 1: across from you, it's hard to feel that confidence, you know,

541
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:35,560
Speaker 1: And that's that's hard to do. And when you've done

542
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,000
Speaker 1: it for a year and you come out and you

543
00:25:37,040 --> 00:25:39,200
Speaker 1: start to have some success, that's when you say, Okay,

544
00:25:39,240 --> 00:25:40,760
Speaker 1: you know what, I am good enough to be out here,

545
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna watch me now. And that's the attitude

546
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,280
Speaker 1: of receiver has to have bigger challenge For Sean McDermott

547
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 1: lesser challenge, let's hear from you. Phone line's open eight

Speaker 1: to me. We're sitting out here on a porch in

Speaker 1: one of your first year, your first training camp. I've

581
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 1: been hitting the head so much since then. You know,

582
00:27:50,040 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 1: I remember being excited. You know, you're getting your opportunity to,

583
00:27:54,440 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: you know, do what you've always wanted to do or

584
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: you're dreamt about doing it, you know, at least since

585
00:27:57,560 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 1: high school and college when I really got into football,

586
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:02,399
Speaker 1: and just being excited for an opportunity and saying, hey,

587
00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm not gonna let it slip through

588
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:07,280
Speaker 1: my fingers. Yeah, you talked your you've had how many

589
00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 1: defensive line coach you ever counted him? I've tried not

590
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,600
Speaker 1: to count him. I've had quite a few. Your first

591
00:28:11,600 --> 00:28:13,840
Speaker 1: one was what Bill Kohler? Bill Collar. So Bill Collar

592
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,280
Speaker 1: comes in and I talked to him after the first

593
00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: couple of days. It was you and the first round

594
00:28:18,080 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: draft pick. And I can't he's named John John mccarto Macargo.

595
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: And Bill Kohler comes to me and he goes, He goes,

596
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: because I can tell you right now which one of

597
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:28,040
Speaker 1: those guys can play. He was talking about you, your

598
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:30,080
Speaker 1: fifth round draft pick. He goes, the fifth rounder can

599
00:28:30,119 --> 00:28:32,000
Speaker 1: really go? You know what? First rounder? Not only to

600
00:28:32,040 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: cut you off, this is your show, but I was

601
00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: the first overall pick. Yeah, there you go. So and

602
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 1: he and he said, twenty minutes into practice, he knew

603
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 1: which one of you guys was going to have a career.

604
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: What do you think that was? I don't know, you'd

605
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 1: have to ask Bill. Bill's actually told me that before.

606
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,320
Speaker 1: And you know, I just took it as a compliment

607
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,880
Speaker 1: and moved on because Bill doesn't pass him any other out. Yeah,

608
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:54,560
Speaker 1: So I I didn't want to dare make him elaborate.

609
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: I just took it and ran with it. So yeah,

610
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean maybe it was technique, maybe

611
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,320
Speaker 1: it was effort, maybe it was attitude. I don't know.

612
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: Those are all things that I really really have kind

613
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 1: of hung my hat on. Right, you came into a

614
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 1: pretty good group, right, Shobel was here, Chris Kelsey was here.

615
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,400
Speaker 1: You have kind of a veteran group guys who knew

616
00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:10,719
Speaker 1: what they were doing when you got Yeah, I came

617
00:29:10,760 --> 00:29:13,040
Speaker 1: into a really good group. I talked to those guys

618
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,960
Speaker 1: all the time, Shobel, more than I would like to now. Yeah, yeah, still,

619
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,480
Speaker 1: do you know? So I came into a really really

620
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 1: good situation a man that I truly revere in Dick drawn.

621
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,160
Speaker 1: I mean, you want to talk about just an all

622
00:29:26,400 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: world man. I couldn't have come into a into a

623
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,440
Speaker 1: better place. Yeah, those guys don't get enough credit. I mean,

624
00:29:31,480 --> 00:29:33,680
Speaker 1: he wasn't as successful a head coaches who'd all like

625
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 1: him to bend. But that aside, there's been a lot

626
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: of great guys come through this organization in your time here. Yeah, absolutely,

627
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, And I'm not singling him out to leave

628
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 1: anyone else out. I'm just talking about from the opportunity

629
00:29:44,840 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: to come in here and to be under him, the

630
00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:49,520
Speaker 1: type of person he was, a type of man. He

631
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,000
Speaker 1: was such a privilege and you know, obviously to have

632
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 1: a coach like Bill that demanded only the best of

633
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,000
Speaker 1: you and the best of you all the time. Yeah,

634
00:29:57,320 --> 00:29:59,640
Speaker 1: talk about this crew. Now you've got this is Sean

635
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: se training Camp, brand new culture. It really took root

636
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,760
Speaker 1: last year, which it really became a group that was

637
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,920
Speaker 1: fun to watch. And I could tell by looking at

638
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,640
Speaker 1: you guys, and I'll say this, I remember you said

639
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:14,960
Speaker 1: this since I played. Last year was the first year

640
00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: I hung around I've been around that it's a team.

641
00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,080
Speaker 1: I was like, wow, that looks like fun. Yeah. Yeah,

642
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 1: I think we I think number one, we all enjoy

643
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:25,840
Speaker 1: what we're blast and privileged to do. Right. You know,

644
00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: this is you know a lot of guys get paid

645
00:30:27,920 --> 00:30:30,080
Speaker 1: to King's Ransom to play a kids game. You know,

646
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: the opportunity. Yeah, it's hard, and it's tough, and sometimes

647
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,239
Speaker 1: it's you know, it can be mentally draining, but at

648
00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 1: the end of the day, we play a game and

649
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,720
Speaker 1: it's fun to play. So we enjoyed doing that. Beyond that,

650
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 1: we enjoyed each other. We actually talked about it just now,

651
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: you know, we broke the team, and they were like, hey,

652
00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, toughness an effort will be our calling card,

653
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:51,640
Speaker 1: but beyond that, our commitment and undying love and accountability

654
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: for one another is what the calling card of this

655
00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:55,960
Speaker 1: team is. And if you don't believe it, just look around,

656
00:30:56,040 --> 00:31:00,400
Speaker 1: ask somebody, and you know, whether that's a Friday or Thursday,

657
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 1: whatever today is in July, or that's a Sunday in December,

658
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,960
Speaker 1: that's gonna hold true all year. So I think that's

659
00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: a lot of what people have seen or continue to see.

660
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: And I really think that's how good football teams are built.

661
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: And that's I think that's the way that Sean and

662
00:31:12,320 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 1: Brandon their vision is kind of playing out in front

663
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: of everyone and for us all to see. How the

664
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen Bill's NFL Films highlight film just came out

665
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: the other day last week, was it? And I was

666
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 1: looking at it and thinking about you in the prominent

667
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:26,680
Speaker 1: role you played in that, but also thinking about how

668
00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 1: your role as a leader has sort of evolved. I mean,

669
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: you're you seem like you're a different leader now than

670
00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:33,480
Speaker 1: you were even ten years ago with this team in

671
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 1: terms of I mean, I see Coach McDermot almost leaning

672
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: on you to show the way. Sometimes. You know, I

673
00:31:39,080 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: may disagree with you a bit there. I would think

674
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 1: that it's more prominent with the cameras and the access

675
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,200
Speaker 1: that we have, maybe we have more at Yeah, I

676
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: think that the access has grown. I haven't really I

677
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: haven't really changed what I what I do, or who

678
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: I am, or the way I've interacted with my teammates

679
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: or with our team. You know, maybe a little bit

680
00:31:55,800 --> 00:31:57,720
Speaker 1: with the head coach as you've gotten older and seen

681
00:31:57,800 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 1: more things and done things like that. But you know,

682
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,200
Speaker 1: I've kind of always tried to be me, you know,

683
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,120
Speaker 1: no matter what you know, given all I've got um

684
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: caring about my teammates. UM, I don't think that that's changed.

685
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 1: I do think it has a lot to do with

686
00:32:11,480 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 1: the access that it's gained with cameras in the locker

687
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: room and just a lot of the things that are

688
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,520
Speaker 1: going on in the media world. There's a lot of

689
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,920
Speaker 1: new faces on your front seven this year. You guys

690
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: didn't get you know, for good reason. Last year statistically

691
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:26,640
Speaker 1: wasn't everything we'd hope you'd hoped to be, although the

692
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,840
Speaker 1: result of the team was much better than it's ever

693
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: been for a long time. So talk about the new faces,

694
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,920
Speaker 1: the new attitude. What's what we're gonna What are we

695
00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,920
Speaker 1: gonna notice about the Bills front seven this year? Well,

696
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 1: I think you bring in two guys that have a

697
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: track record of being in good players with Star and Trent,

698
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: guys that I've seen play on film that I've noticed that, Hey,

699
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 1: these guys are good players. I enjoy watching them play,

700
00:32:48,160 --> 00:32:50,880
Speaker 1: and now the opportunity to play with them, it's fun.

701
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:53,320
Speaker 1: I've been here where we've had really good you know,

702
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 1: defenses and defensive lines. The more good players you can add, yeah,

703
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: you know, it makes everybody happen. Not right now, Yeah,

704
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 1: it's It's amazing how a good player can just be

705
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,120
Speaker 1: an average player if he doesn't have help around him.

706
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 1: And when you have a lot of good players out

707
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: there together, it's amazing how things can grow and explode

708
00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 1: and kind of take fire and breed success for everybody.

709
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:14,800
Speaker 1: So bringing those guys in is going to be a

710
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 1: big help for us. You know, the things that we're

711
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,719
Speaker 1: going to talk about are limiting points and takeaways. If

712
00:33:19,800 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: we can do that, you know, whatever the yardage may

713
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,560
Speaker 1: be no matter what happens. If we can end up

714
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 1: in the plus side on the turnover ratio and we

715
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: can hold him down in points, we're gonna have an

716
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:30,000
Speaker 1: opportunity to win a lot of games. I'm looking forward

717
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 1: to seeing Tren Murphy. I'm told he should be ready

718
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,400
Speaker 1: to go tonight. We didn't see him in the spring.

719
00:33:34,440 --> 00:33:37,640
Speaker 1: He's an interesting character. With his offseason in the workout regiment,

720
00:33:37,840 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: you probably identified with some of his approach. I was

721
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: serious minded he is about getting ready to play. Yeah, yeah,

722
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 1: we've we've talked about a few different things, and you

723
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:47,720
Speaker 1: know what he likes to do, what I like to do.

724
00:33:49,080 --> 00:33:53,440
Speaker 1: He's he's got some extreme things that more power to him.

725
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: I just kind of like, yeah, I'm kind of out

726
00:33:55,040 --> 00:33:58,760
Speaker 1: on that. But no, he's he's fun to be around.

727
00:33:58,920 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 1: Like I said, Guys that enjoy what they do, Guys

728
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:04,240
Speaker 1: that take it seriously, Guys that want to be on

729
00:34:04,280 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 1: the cutting edge. Kind of what you're talking about. How

730
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 1: can I better prepare? How can I better prepare to

731
00:34:08,600 --> 00:34:10,279
Speaker 1: be best at my job so I can be a

732
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: good player and help my football team. Those are kind

733
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 1: of guys I want to play. We should you know,

734
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:15,799
Speaker 1: talk about extremes, getting prepared. You know, you should see

735
00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:19,040
Speaker 1: Murph get ready for the show. Some of the stuff,

736
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,040
Speaker 1: like some of the lots of golf round I did

737
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: not sign up for that. You're mailing water all of them.

738
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,879
Speaker 1: You mentioned turnovers, they're big for your defense, which makes sense.

739
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,000
Speaker 1: They were big last year. Sure, some people wonder if

740
00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,839
Speaker 1: you can match what you did last year in terms

741
00:34:34,880 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: of taking the ball away that was that was a

742
00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:40,200
Speaker 1: little bit unusual last year, especially early in the year. Well,

743
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,279
Speaker 1: I think the reason people may think it's unusual because

744
00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:46,239
Speaker 1: they don't understand how much we coach it and how

745
00:34:46,320 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: much we talk about it and how much we drill it. Uh,

746
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: will we get the same amount. I don't know. Maybe

747
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: we get less, maybe we get more. You know, we're

748
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: we're always going to get the ball. We're securing the tackle,

749
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,320
Speaker 1: we're getting the ball out. We're coached to do that,

750
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: We're are taught to do that, and it really kind

751
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,000
Speaker 1: of becomes a second nature thing for so we have

752
00:35:05,080 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of guys that have that

753
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 1: on their mind when they're attacking the football or they're

754
00:35:08,719 --> 00:35:11,279
Speaker 1: attacking the ball carrier. We're gonna go get that ball

755
00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,000
Speaker 1: and make it ours because it can swing a game,

756
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,719
Speaker 1: it can totally turn it around. What do you hear

757
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 1: coming from the other side of the football. Offensively, it

758
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:19,640
Speaker 1: means brand new offense, new coordinator, You got three new

759
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,880
Speaker 1: guys that are gonna take snaps. Whoever it's gonna end

760
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 1: up being Calvin Benjamin was this is his first training

761
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,800
Speaker 1: camp as a Buffalo. Build a lot and and for you,

762
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 1: with your hand in the dirt, you're looking up and

763
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: there's some unfamiliar faces, maybe for the first time in

764
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,319
Speaker 1: your career. I think from talking to the guys, really

765
00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: excited about Dabble and what he's doing, uh, you know,

766
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:41,240
Speaker 1: coming in really kind of giving them a clear focus.

767
00:35:41,840 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: You know, this is the direction we're gonna go, this

768
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: is what we're gonna run, this is what we're gonna

769
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: run off of it. Everything's gonna compliment each other, and

770
00:35:47,880 --> 00:35:51,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna be very technically sound and do what we do.

771
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:53,839
Speaker 1: And I think the guys are excited about that. They

772
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:57,239
Speaker 1: see they see how the offense has been productive, and

773
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: they're excited about the opportunity to go out and cut

774
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:02,239
Speaker 1: it loose it kind of it was. It was not

775
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:05,560
Speaker 1: an offseason without some distractions. For the bills, you know,

776
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:09,640
Speaker 1: some retirements, some departures, some people getting in trouble. When

777
00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: you get the camp, is any of that matter? Is

778
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:13,799
Speaker 1: it in the back of anybody's mind you think that's

779
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,080
Speaker 1: you know, it's kind of like welcome to the NFL.

780
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:19,759
Speaker 1: But you hit on it. Literally you walk here and

781
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 1: everything kind of falls away, for better or for worse,

782
00:36:22,840 --> 00:36:25,200
Speaker 1: it just kind of falls away. And when you hit here,

783
00:36:25,320 --> 00:36:28,320
Speaker 1: it's football. It's eating and it's sleeping in its meetings,

784
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:29,960
Speaker 1: and that's what you do for a month, you know.

785
00:36:30,040 --> 00:36:34,840
Speaker 1: So we're here to obviously get in uh physical shape

786
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:37,800
Speaker 1: better than we already are football shape, which is different,

787
00:36:38,680 --> 00:36:41,520
Speaker 1: get some reps in clear up some technical things that

788
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: are going to carry us through the year fundamentals, and

789
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 1: really kind of to grow as a football team, to

790
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 1: come together, to learn each other even better than we

791
00:36:49,360 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: already do, and really be a team, not just a

792
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: you know, not just a group of guys that goes

793
00:36:53,760 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: out there in place, but to become a team. That's

794
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 1: one of the assets I think of coming to a

795
00:36:56,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: place like Saint John Fisher, where you know, forget the

796
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:02,239
Speaker 1: problems that you leave, it's also your you and your

797
00:37:02,280 --> 00:37:04,640
Speaker 1: wife and family, and you kind of your responsibilities as

798
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:06,440
Speaker 1: a parent and husband and all that kind of can

799
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 1: be set aside for while you're here, because you have

800
00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,680
Speaker 1: things to do in the here and now. And when

801
00:37:10,719 --> 00:37:14,640
Speaker 1: everybody's on that same mind frame, uh, its progress happens

802
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:17,719
Speaker 1: a lot faster when you're When they're distractions, even if

803
00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:21,320
Speaker 1: they're good distractions, yea, and and you know, appropriate distractions,

804
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:23,759
Speaker 1: it's still nice to be able to set it aside. Yeah.

805
00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 1: I think for for guys coming here, if you come

806
00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:28,080
Speaker 1: here with the right frame of mind and the right attitude,

807
00:37:28,800 --> 00:37:30,960
Speaker 1: you you know, you leave that stuff no matter where

808
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:32,360
Speaker 1: you are in your career, what you have going on

809
00:37:32,480 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: family wise, you come here with objective too. Hey, I

810
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: want to go get ready to wins and football games.

811
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:40,239
Speaker 1: I want to make myself the best that can be

812
00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,319
Speaker 1: and our team the best we can be. That's when

813
00:37:42,360 --> 00:37:44,120
Speaker 1: you see growth, and that's when you see you know,

814
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: good football teams kind of take hold. Gus deep into

815
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 1: your career with your family, five kids, Um, what what

816
00:37:50,920 --> 00:37:52,400
Speaker 1: do you do? Do you bring them to camp? Do

817
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:54,279
Speaker 1: they come here? Eventually? They have you know, you have

818
00:37:54,360 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 1: kids school age kids now? Yeah? Yeah, so they're all

819
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:59,839
Speaker 1: actually flying up today today yeah, um, and I hope

820
00:37:59,880 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 1: my wife didn't hear what you said about you know,

821
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 1: my parenting stuff up. She is neck deep at it

822
00:38:07,160 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 1: right now. And we had five I know, I know

823
00:38:10,480 --> 00:38:12,839
Speaker 1: we had four while I was playing. Then the last

824
00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:15,600
Speaker 1: one came two months after every time. So they're all

825
00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,720
Speaker 1: coming up today. Uh, they may be out at practice Saturday, Sunday.

826
00:38:19,320 --> 00:38:22,440
Speaker 1: My wife is going to go visit some family, um

827
00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,440
Speaker 1: for a couple of weeks and then come back and

828
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 1: then we'll be almost done with camp at almost home.

829
00:38:27,239 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 1: So we kind of use it for both of us

830
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,719
Speaker 1: to get some things done, some uh, some good time

831
00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:36,680
Speaker 1: for her if she can manage our wild bunch, and

832
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:38,440
Speaker 1: for me to get here and do anything easy. I

833
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 1: know we we used to. I told this and some

834
00:38:40,800 --> 00:38:43,520
Speaker 1: of the camp best camp memories I had was the

835
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,560
Speaker 1: night before camp. I'd always get them to let us

836
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,760
Speaker 1: into the dorm a day early, and before camp started,

837
00:38:48,760 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: we would spend one night all the kids and everybody

838
00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:52,400
Speaker 1: in the room with me, and then and then they

839
00:38:52,640 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: you know, they'd pull the ejector seat and they see

840
00:38:55,239 --> 00:38:57,160
Speaker 1: you know, I actually used that night to come in

841
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,120
Speaker 1: here and go bed about eight thirty and sleep for well.

842
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,759
Speaker 1: Varris because I know nobody's gonna punch me in the

843
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:05,320
Speaker 1: nose and tell me they want juice or or anything

844
00:39:05,440 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: like that, so I we don't get to do that.

845
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,719
Speaker 1: But I enjoy the fact of when they get here

846
00:39:11,239 --> 00:39:13,279
Speaker 1: and I go out on the field and play with them,

847
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,880
Speaker 1: because we're not I'm not of the mind that this

848
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: last forever, even though it's lasted a really long time.

849
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 1: I've been, you know, extremely blast to be here this long.

850
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:22,759
Speaker 1: But go out there and take them out there, let

851
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,000
Speaker 1: them experience it, because it doesn't last forever. Play with

852
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 1: the boys, play with the girls, let them soak it

853
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,000
Speaker 1: all in so one day hopefully they'll remember it. It

854
00:39:29,080 --> 00:39:31,400
Speaker 1: has lasted a long time. And the last question for you,

855
00:39:32,160 --> 00:39:34,480
Speaker 1: when you came here here in two thousand and six,

856
00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 1: did you ever envisioned, you know, five kids, thirteen fourteen

857
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:41,399
Speaker 1: years in the league, accomplishing what you've done in the league,

858
00:39:41,440 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 1: all the Pro Bowls and everything. Did it was at

859
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:44,640
Speaker 1: all in the back of your mind? Well, I knew

860
00:39:44,680 --> 00:39:46,480
Speaker 1: the five kids came along with my wife when we

861
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,000
Speaker 1: got married. I think our first date, she goes, I

862
00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:50,200
Speaker 1: want to be a mom and I want to have

863
00:39:50,239 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 1: a bunch of kids. So I knew. She made it

864
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:54,600
Speaker 1: very clear what I was getting into if I continued

865
00:39:54,600 --> 00:39:57,040
Speaker 1: down that ru Yeah, so I knew that's what I

866
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:58,880
Speaker 1: was getting into, and I said, well, I better, I

867
00:39:58,960 --> 00:40:00,760
Speaker 1: better stick this out if I'm gonna do that without

868
00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: many kids. But no, you know, I never really thought

869
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:05,680
Speaker 1: about it. I never had any I never had any

870
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 1: great expectations outside of what I was gonna do today.

871
00:40:09,080 --> 00:40:11,319
Speaker 1: And I try to tell everybody that, and it's such

872
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,320
Speaker 1: a coach speak kind of thing, but it is. It

873
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 1: is one percent true for me that I said, you

874
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 1: know what, today, I'm gonna get my all today. I'm

875
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: gonna go do my absolute best today, and then if

876
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:23,880
Speaker 1: I can get up tomorrow, I'm gonna do it again.

877
00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:27,080
Speaker 1: And that's really what I've done for, you know, for

878
00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:29,640
Speaker 1: this long. And then I look up and I've got,

879
00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:31,919
Speaker 1: you know, eleven year old, a ten year old, to seven,

880
00:40:31,960 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 1: to five and to three. We've been in this place

881
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 1: for so long that we love so much, and you

882
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:38,440
Speaker 1: get to experience with them. It's it's just a lot

883
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,360
Speaker 1: of fun. And I think, you know, being that process

884
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:43,640

917
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 1: So we're getting some people complaining and I'm just trying

918
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:27,719
Speaker 1: to help him out and help them out. I appreciate

919
00:42:27,840 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 1: that because it's the Internet's big and scary and confusing,

920
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:33,759
Speaker 1: and what we want to do is to interact with you.

921
00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:35,560
Speaker 1: And we've got a pretty good Twitter poll. We think

922
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 1: up what kind of challenge does Bill's head coach Sean

923
00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:41,359
Speaker 1: McDermott face this season? How does it compare to last year?

924
00:42:41,600 --> 00:42:43,400
Speaker 1: Give us a call. The lines are open eight oh

925
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:45,880
Speaker 1: three oh five fifty or toll free one eight eight

926
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:49,640
Speaker 1: eight five fifty two five fifty, or you can interact

927
00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 1: with us on Twitter at one bills five. What kind

928
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: of challenges Sean McDermott face. Is it bigger than last year?

929
00:42:55,520 --> 00:42:57,919
Speaker 1: Sixty eight percent of you Two thirds of you say yeah,

930
00:42:57,960 --> 00:43:00,440
Speaker 1: it is bigger than last year. Ten percent sense say

931
00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:03,239
Speaker 1: it's a lesser challenge to think about that. I don't

932
00:43:03,239 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 1: know how much lesser it is. Twenty two percent say

933
00:43:05,600 --> 00:43:08,000
Speaker 1: it's about the same. I think it's a bigger challenge,

934
00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:11,279
Speaker 1: but I think there's also some elements of things being

935
00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 1: in place, of a culture being established, maybe not totally

936
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:17,279
Speaker 1: in place, but being established. That will make it a

937
00:43:17,320 --> 00:43:19,400
Speaker 1: little bit easier for Sean McDermot. But in general, I

938
00:43:19,480 --> 00:43:21,560
Speaker 1: do think it's a it's a bigger job for Sean

939
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:24,200
Speaker 1: mcdermoty this year than he had a year ago. Yeah,

940
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,520
Speaker 1: and there are different challenges, and I think the one

941
00:43:26,560 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 1: thing that is overwriting everybody knows it's going to be

942
00:43:28,200 --> 00:43:30,960
Speaker 1: different this year. Everything's gonna be a little bit different.

943
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:36,600
Speaker 1: Different established players, different new players, revamped front seven on

944
00:43:36,640 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 1: the defense, a whole new offensive system, a whole new

945
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:41,719
Speaker 1: set of offensive skill players than they had a year ago.

946
00:43:42,800 --> 00:43:45,560
Speaker 1: A lot has changed in one year. The drought is over.

947
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:47,640
Speaker 1: They've made it to the playoffs in a year where

948
00:43:47,680 --> 00:43:51,920
Speaker 1: they overachieved and instilled a culture that was completely different

949
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,839
Speaker 1: than what they'd had in the past, and obviously successful.

950
00:43:55,560 --> 00:44:00,959
Speaker 1: Everything's changed, and especially we've talked about this Tom expectations, Yeah,

951
00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,120
Speaker 1: and anticipation. This is a pretty exciting training camp to

952
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:09,160
Speaker 1: hang around right now because of the possibilities. I think

953
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 1: that people see, maybe for the first time, and I

954
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: think that's that's the most exciting. I think people saw

955
00:44:14,200 --> 00:44:18,439
Speaker 1: that the playoffs was not an impossibility for the Buffalo Bills.

956
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: I mean, after seventeen years, you can't blame fans for thinking, well,

957
00:44:21,440 --> 00:44:23,120
Speaker 1: that's not us, We're not a playoff team. Well, you

958
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,880
Speaker 1: know what they were last year. They got in the

959
00:44:24,960 --> 00:44:27,719
Speaker 1: way many teams get into the playoffs by winning nine

960
00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:30,040
Speaker 1: games and getting things to break their way. You can't

961
00:44:30,080 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 1: count on that every year, but certainly things did work

962
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:35,040
Speaker 1: in their favor last year that way. So that's one

963
00:44:35,080 --> 00:44:37,440
Speaker 1: of the reasons why it could be a little bit different,

964
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,719
Speaker 1: a little bit more difficult for Sean McDermot this year.

965
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 1: Let's take a phone call on this ivan on the

966
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 1: line from Buffalo Ivan, Are you there, go ahead? Please? Yes, guys,

967
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:50,719
Speaker 1: How are you guys going today? Okay, good. Great. So

968
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:53,120
Speaker 1: one of the things that I wanted to say is

969
00:44:53,200 --> 00:44:56,000
Speaker 1: going to be a great challenge for Coose McDonald this

970
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,560
Speaker 1: year is the wide receiver position. The reason why I

971
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,960
Speaker 1: say that because we have yet to replace, uh, you know,

972
00:45:03,000 --> 00:45:05,200
Speaker 1: the receivers that we lost. We lost a lot of

973
00:45:05,239 --> 00:45:08,080
Speaker 1: good talent and the team didn't seem to do too

974
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: much in the off season and trying to replace that talent.

975
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 1: And I think if we're talking about getting back to

976
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:15,200
Speaker 1: the playoffs again, I think a lot of it's going

977
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:18,359
Speaker 1: to determine, you know, how our receivers step up and play.

978
00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:21,719
Speaker 1: Besides Calvin Benjamin, we really don't know what we have.

979
00:45:22,280 --> 00:45:23,960
Speaker 1: And I think that's at that end, and of its

980
00:45:24,280 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 1: just trying to get those guys to play up to

981
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,600
Speaker 1: the talent that we lost. Uh, it's going to quit

982
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 1: the challenge for McDermot and and Rohisky and and and

983
00:45:33,320 --> 00:45:36,880
Speaker 1: I'm wondering what is the team doing to uh to

984
00:45:37,040 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: try to identify other receivers that's out there right now available.

985
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:43,080
Speaker 1: If there anyone out there right now that's available, that's good,

986
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: but we can probably bring on the team. Besides des Bryant,

987
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,120
Speaker 1: who said that he really wants to play for a contender.

988
00:45:48,239 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 1: So I don't think that's us right now. So is

989
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:52,920
Speaker 1: there anyone else that the team should be looking at

990
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:55,560
Speaker 1: that we could bring on to the team. Uh, maybe

991
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:57,200
Speaker 1: some guys that they had on the team that they

992
00:45:57,360 --> 00:46:00,800
Speaker 1: had released before that might stuff be developed. Um. So

993
00:46:00,960 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 1: those are some of the things I think that uh,

994
00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:05,239
Speaker 1: you know, should should be looking at. Israeli the wide

995
00:46:05,280 --> 00:46:07,680
Speaker 1: receiver position, because I think that is the weakest. I mean,

996
00:46:07,719 --> 00:46:11,160
Speaker 1: I just have Ivan may ask you a question, Um,

997
00:46:11,560 --> 00:46:14,320
Speaker 1: the talent the Bills lost at wide receiver? When do

998
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 1: you that was a year ago, right, I mean that

999
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:18,680
Speaker 1: was Sammy Watkins you're talking about it, and Robert Woods

1000
00:46:18,719 --> 00:46:21,400
Speaker 1: even before that, who left by a free agency? Um,

1001
00:46:21,680 --> 00:46:23,680
Speaker 1: who are you talking about? I guess my question the

1002
00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,359
Speaker 1: talent the Bills lost at wide receiver about? Yeah, I'm

1003
00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: talking about those guys. We haven't we have yet to

1004
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 1: really replaced those guys. We haven't. Uh, we haven't done

1005
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 1: any family we make When they brought in the guys

1006
00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,200
Speaker 1: from from Philly, I mean you know that was that

1007
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:39,239
Speaker 1: was through a trade and he was supposed to sort

1008
00:46:39,239 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 1: of like step in the place of Sammy what she

1009
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,200
Speaker 1: never did? Uh? And then you know, we ended hurt.

1010
00:46:44,880 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 1: Jordan Matthews was hurt. Jordan Matthews stayed hurt. Um, and

1011
00:46:49,600 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 1: and and so and then and then brought the Kelvin

1012
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:55,719
Speaker 1: Benjamin Uh through a trade and he didn't quite uh

1013
00:46:56,560 --> 00:46:59,600
Speaker 1: meet the expectations either because he also got hurt hurt

1014
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,560
Speaker 1: part of the year, and then and then and then

1015
00:47:02,680 --> 00:47:04,320
Speaker 1: the quarter that I couldn't you know, couldn't go to

1016
00:47:04,440 --> 00:47:08,640
Speaker 1: sign him when he was open. So yeah, different issue

1017
00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:10,360
Speaker 1: I got you. I mean, let me just say they

1018
00:47:10,440 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 1: did draft two wide receivers in the draft, both of

1019
00:47:13,320 --> 00:47:15,960
Speaker 1: them late six and seventh round. I get that. Um,

1020
00:47:16,239 --> 00:47:20,800
Speaker 1: they did bring on Jeremy Curley. Um, there are not

1021
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:23,000
Speaker 1: a whole lot of good names out there. You mentioned

1022
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:25,359
Speaker 1: Dez Bryant. That's not going to work here. Um. Yeah,

1023
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:27,759
Speaker 1: They're a little bit thin there as far as dependable,

1024
00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:30,759
Speaker 1: proven wide receivers. I'm not arguing that I agree with you,

1025
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:33,239
Speaker 1: but I to say that they haven't done anything or

1026
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 1: tried anything. A couple of draft picks, a couple of

1027
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 1: free agent signings. They get Rod Streeter back Uh and

1028
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,239
Speaker 1: Steve Here's where you sound good when you make your

1029
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:43,480
Speaker 1: point about the quarterback makes the receivers not vice versa. Absolutely,

1030
00:47:43,560 --> 00:47:47,279
Speaker 1: and I'll continue to say that because it's one of

1031
00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 1: my I believe it. Um, I lived it for a

1032
00:47:49,560 --> 00:47:52,280
Speaker 1: long time in the NFL. I've seen it happen around

1033
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,759
Speaker 1: the National Football League. Um, Tom Brady doesn't send too

1034
00:47:55,800 --> 00:47:58,080
Speaker 1: many guys to the Pro Bowl, but they win a

1035
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,359
Speaker 1: lot of games. And he throws. He led the league

1036
00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:03,759
Speaker 1: in passing last year. But certainly they lost Brandon Cooks,

1037
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:07,399
Speaker 1: but they well they let Brandon Cooks go at New England. Uh.

1038
00:48:07,640 --> 00:48:11,000
Speaker 1: The guy pulling the trigger is the key components of

1039
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,600
Speaker 1: the passing game. Uh. You look at the guys that

1040
00:48:13,800 --> 00:48:16,000
Speaker 1: led the league last year in passing, it was it

1041
00:48:16,120 --> 00:48:20,759
Speaker 1: was Tom Brady, it was Drew Brees, Um, Ben Roethlisberger

1042
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 1: was up there. Uh, you know all those and they

1043
00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,520
Speaker 1: didn't they didn't throw for all those many yards. I

1044
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:28,880
Speaker 1: think Brady led the league with forty three hundred year

1045
00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:32,600
Speaker 1: and change passing. And if you didn't throw for four

1046
00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: thousand yards last year, you weren't in the top ten,

1047
00:48:35,960 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 1: or actually you were top eight. And uh, there's just

1048
00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:40,839
Speaker 1: not that many guys who do it. And the guys

1049
00:48:40,880 --> 00:48:43,880
Speaker 1: who do it, it's not the receivers that make the

1050
00:48:44,080 --> 00:48:47,440
Speaker 1: offense it's the quarterback pulling the trigger. And I'm and

1051
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: I'll you can say, and I've I've heard it, and

1052
00:48:50,200 --> 00:48:52,720
Speaker 1: I've had discussions with a lot of Pean murph included

1053
00:48:52,760 --> 00:48:55,160
Speaker 1: where we've talked about, you know, a little bit of

1054
00:48:55,200 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: the chicken of the egg, chicken in the egg conversation

1055
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,800
Speaker 1: about is the receivers that make the quarterback or a

1056
00:49:00,880 --> 00:49:03,279
Speaker 1: vice versus the quarterback to make the receivers. It's the

1057
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:05,719
Speaker 1: quarterback in my opinion, and it always has been and

1058
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:08,480
Speaker 1: it always will be. So I don't care who they

1059
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,640
Speaker 1: put out there this group of there's enough talent physical

1060
00:49:11,719 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 1: talent in this group of wide receivers for this offense

1061
00:49:15,840 --> 00:49:20,400
Speaker 1: to take a big leap forward in the passing game. Now,

1062
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 1: I'm not saying they're gonna be elite and lead the

1063
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,839
Speaker 1: league or anything like that, but there's enough physical talent

1064
00:49:25,920 --> 00:49:28,520
Speaker 1: here to be markedly better than they were a year

1065
00:49:28,560 --> 00:49:30,800
Speaker 1: ago because of the guys they have who have a

1066
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,200
Speaker 1: chance to pull the trigger for this offense. So that's

1067
00:49:34,280 --> 00:49:37,040
Speaker 1: my take on at this early stage. There's no question

1068
00:49:37,080 --> 00:49:39,319
Speaker 1: we got a lot of football to play, But I'm

1069
00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 1: not hanging my hat on on the receivers. There's enough

1070
00:49:45,040 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 1: of them there. I'm hanging my hat on how which

1071
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:50,480
Speaker 1: quarterback is the guy that's taken the snaps? All right, Hey,

1072
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: we got a lot of show left, a couple hours left.

1073
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:54,880
Speaker 1: It is eighty degrees and mostly sunny, a little bit

1074

1098
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:16,279

Speaker 1: Jones would be ready for trainee camp after he underwent

1100

1113
00:51:55,480 --> 00:51:58,800
Speaker 1: sources say both sides were working to resolve the contract

1114
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 1: differences that had Jones planning to hold out of camp.

1115
00:52:01,360 --> 00:52:03,919
Speaker 1: He has three years remaining on his contract. Both sides

1116
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:07,440
Speaker 1: have had dialogue to creatively increase his potential to earn

1117
00:52:07,560 --> 00:52:09,919
Speaker 1: more than the schedule ten and a half million dollars

1118
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,320
Speaker 1: he would earn this year. Cincinnati Bengals Titan Tyler Effort

1119
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:15,240
Speaker 1: will not be on the field when the team opens

1120
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:18,480
Speaker 1: it to practice of this afternoon. Normal linebacker Bontes Perfect

1121
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:21,920
Speaker 1: Effort will begin training camp on the physically unable to

1122
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:26,120
Speaker 1: perform list after sending out mini camp with an undisclosed injury.

00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,399
Speaker 1: Perfect has been put on the non football injury list

1124
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:31,840

1125
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 1: training camp with his Los Angeles Rams teammates. Donald might

1126
00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:37,920
Speaker 1: be forced to report the camp by August seventh. According

1127
00:52:37,960 --> 00:52:40,960
Speaker 1: to early assessments because of his whold out last year.

1128
00:52:41,239 --> 00:52:43,000
Speaker 1: If he does not report at least a month before

1129
00:52:43,000 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 1: the opening of the regular season, he would not get

1130
00:52:44,719 --> 00:52:47,840
Speaker 1: an accrude season. That still maybe in doubt as Aaron

1131

1158
00:54:26,160 --> 00:54:28,960
Speaker 1: colors and dark. It doesn't take long, man. Once it goes,

1159
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:31,719
Speaker 1: it goes fast. But yeah, you're right. I I go

1164
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:47,600
Speaker 1: west where you have a home and home together. It

1165
00:54:47,840 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: was hot, right, I mean the last probably averaged one

1166
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:54,680
Speaker 1: ten highs one. It is thirty degrees colder here it's

1167
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:57,040
Speaker 1: eighty and it's thirty degrees colder. Yeah, but I'm not

1168
00:54:57,080 --> 00:55:00,799
Speaker 1: really just hang out outside either you don't no from

1169
00:55:01,680 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 1: you normally in'sire, probably between twelve and six or at

1170
00:55:04,320 --> 00:55:05,520
Speaker 1: least out of the heat. You may go where you

1171
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:07,160
Speaker 1: need to go, but you're not just sitting out there

1172
00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,320
Speaker 1: hanging out. And then we worked out at ass you

1173
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 1: to have a nice bubble, nice facility. So it worked

1174
00:55:12,719 --> 00:55:14,279
Speaker 1: out for him, it didn't. It didn't get me too bad.

1175
00:55:15,440 --> 00:55:18,359
Speaker 1: It's almost like winter here, isn't it. People in Buffalo, Yeah,

1176
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:20,320
Speaker 1: the winter, say, I don't spend a whole lot of

1177
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,839
Speaker 1: time outside, right. A lot of people tend to either

1178
00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:25,359
Speaker 1: go to San Diego if they can, or they get

1179
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:27,439
Speaker 1: up earlier, a lot earlier, and get their stuff done

1180
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,000
Speaker 1: before you know, high noon, when it really gets hot.

1181
00:55:30,280 --> 00:55:32,040
Speaker 1: But I'm much rather have it that way because you

1182
00:55:32,080 --> 00:55:34,160
Speaker 1: can get out at least move around. When it's snowing here,

1183
00:55:34,560 --> 00:55:36,799
Speaker 1: you kind of stuck in the house. It's going out,

1184
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:40,880
Speaker 1: so you gotta take a shovel with you, exact an

1185
00:55:40,920 --> 00:55:43,839
Speaker 1: umbrella or something. Yeah. Yeah, now that's another thing too.

Speaker 1: right in Tempe, wherever that area is, it stays hot

1188
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:53,560
Speaker 1: twenty four seven. Mean it doesn't get down like in Tucson.

1189
00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:55,839
Speaker 1: It gets down into the sixties at night, right See,

1190
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,120
Speaker 1: it gets cool off the summer during the winter, it'll

1191
00:55:58,200 --> 00:56:00,759
Speaker 1: drop down like that in Phoenix right now. I mean

1192
00:56:00,800 --> 00:56:02,719
Speaker 1: me and my wife date night though, was still like

00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:10,880
Speaker 1: not that bad. It just feels like you're in like

00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:59,120
Speaker 1: of Buffalo, so it was great relationships, you know, much

1216
00:56:59,160 --> 00:57:00,719
Speaker 1: of the same which I have with you guys here.

1217
00:57:00,760 --> 00:57:02,480
Speaker 1: So anytime I go back, I try to link up

1218
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:04,959
Speaker 1: with those guys and get on. And there's another local

1219
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: TV station, Channel ten that I do some stuff with

1220
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:10,920
Speaker 1: j Lacava where Wolfe is a former Special Teams guys. Yeah,

1221
00:57:11,239 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 1: with him a lot. Yeah, he's good. He's a friend

1222
00:57:13,000 --> 00:57:15,439
Speaker 1: of mine too, so I'm yeah, they're great guys, great guys.

1223
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,280
Speaker 1: So I really enjoy that. And like you know, I

1224
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:18,680
Speaker 1: used to talk to wolf he used to come to

1225
00:57:18,720 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 1: the training camp a lot, so I'm just picking his

1226
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,560
Speaker 1: brain and trying to help myself get better as well.

1227
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:31,960
Speaker 1: He's a great radio guy too. Yeah, great voice on

1228
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:35,240
Speaker 1: these one of the time. So to talk this second

1229
00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott's second training camp. You went through that first one. Yeah, Uh,

1230
00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:42,240
Speaker 1: what's different about this one? Anything significant? No, I'm think

1231
00:57:42,240 --> 00:57:44,600
Speaker 1: anything significantly is different. It's just now you're in more

1232
00:57:44,600 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 1: of than know. You know what to expect. You know

1233
00:57:46,320 --> 00:57:48,560
Speaker 1: how he likes to run camp. You know his expectations

1234
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:50,680
Speaker 1: for the Office of Defensive Special Team is really as

1235
00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:54,040
Speaker 1: as a unit. Uh So there's a lot more clarity

1236
00:57:54,120 --> 00:57:56,320
Speaker 1: going in and for me when anytime you understand that,

1237
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:59,040
Speaker 1: it's easier to kind of go through the process instead

1238
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: of trying to figure out and adjust and there's less communication.

1239
00:58:03,320 --> 00:58:05,800
Speaker 1: It's just a it's an understood fact as far as

1240
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 1: what is expected. Let when we talk about in a

1241
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,360
Speaker 1: second year, let's run by you our question of the

1242
00:58:09,400 --> 00:58:12,040
Speaker 1: day where we're talking to Bills fans about this, Does

1243
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 1: Sean mcdermoy have a more difficult job this year than

1244
00:58:14,920 --> 00:58:17,000
Speaker 1: they had last year? Is he? Is it a bigger

1245
00:58:17,120 --> 00:58:19,200
Speaker 1: challenge this year than it was a year ago? And

1246
00:58:19,440 --> 00:58:21,240
Speaker 1: there are some reasons why you can argue either way.

1247
00:58:21,400 --> 00:58:23,080
Speaker 1: You can look at it in a lot of different ways.

1248
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,600
Speaker 1: But I think for from our perspective of Sean's perspective,

1249
00:58:26,680 --> 00:58:28,560
Speaker 1: it's definitely going to be harder because we want to

1250
00:58:28,560 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: surpass what we did last year and it's hard to

1251
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:33,919
Speaker 1: win the NFL no matter if you have thirteen wins

1252
00:58:34,040 --> 00:58:36,160
Speaker 1: last year, four wins last year. You have to come

1253
00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:39,280
Speaker 1: in with the mindset of setting a great foundation because

1254
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:42,000
Speaker 1: players and people just in general have a sense when

1255
00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:45,040
Speaker 1: they have success, there's a little bit of ease up,

1256
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:48,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of rest I've arrived or you know,

1257
00:58:48,920 --> 00:58:51,680
Speaker 1: especially as an individual player while bought out last year,

1258
00:58:52,200 --> 00:58:54,480
Speaker 1: and sometimes you may not train as hard. But I

1259
00:58:54,600 --> 00:58:56,560
Speaker 1: think he's done a great job of dressing that early

1260
00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,880
Speaker 1: on in the in the spring, continues to do it,

1261
00:58:59,280 --> 00:59:01,720
Speaker 1: and then guys like Kyle Wills, myself and the rest

1262
00:59:01,760 --> 00:59:03,360
Speaker 1: of the leaders are trying to make sure that we

1263
00:59:03,520 --> 00:59:05,800
Speaker 1: lead by example, but also talking to the young guys

1264
00:59:05,800 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 1: as a as much as possible to let them know, hey, man,

1265
00:59:08,600 --> 00:59:12,000
Speaker 1: nothing that is promised. So whether it's easier or more difficult,

1266
00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,920
Speaker 1: certainly this year is much different than last year as

1267
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:18,440
Speaker 1: far as the team mentality and expectations are concerned. I mean,

1268
00:59:18,520 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 1: that's that's a big change from last year. But the

1269
00:59:20,720 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 1: culture in the foundation has been said, yeah, so now

1270
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:24,920
Speaker 1: you just have guys coming in getting actually made it

1271
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,120
Speaker 1: and guys can help them. Versus last year. You know

1272
00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,320
Speaker 1: that everybody was trying to figure out who we were,

1273
00:59:30,520 --> 00:59:32,400
Speaker 1: what we're going to be as a team, you know,

1274
00:59:32,480 --> 00:59:34,880
Speaker 1: speaking defensively, I think there's a there's a little bit

1275
00:59:34,960 --> 00:59:37,560
Speaker 1: more of a swagging confidence coming in this year that

1276
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,400
Speaker 1: obviously we have to work and back up and show

1277
00:59:39,440 --> 00:59:41,560
Speaker 1: in the field, but we know that we can play

1278
00:59:41,600 --> 00:59:43,960
Speaker 1: at a high level. Now it's about being consistent throughout

1279
00:59:43,960 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 1: a sixth and week season and then be able to

1280
00:59:46,440 --> 00:59:48,240
Speaker 1: carry that onto the playoffs if we reach it there.

1281
00:59:48,640 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 1: With Lorenzo Alexander, Bills linebacker joining the son day one

1282
00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:55,080
Speaker 1: of Bills training camp at Saint John Fisher College, Steve

1283
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:57,200
Speaker 1: and I have gone back and forth about this a

1284
00:59:57,320 --> 00:59:59,720
Speaker 1: lot over the last few months. How much improvement to

1285
00:59:59,800 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 1: it spect from the Buffalo defense this year, And you

1286
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:03,960
Speaker 1: talked to us about it two a couple of months ago,

1287
01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 1: and your example of the three game stretch in the

1288
01:00:06,640 --> 01:00:09,240
Speaker 1: middle of the twenty seventeen it kind of resonates the morning. Yeah,

1289
01:00:09,240 --> 01:00:13,240
Speaker 1: I mean huge, especially when you look at statistics statistically defensively,

1290
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:14,760
Speaker 1: when you give up the thing we gave up six

1291
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: hundred and fifteen rushing yards, that's gonna throw you to

1292
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,920
Speaker 1: the bottom of the league, regardless of what you do

1293
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 1: the rest of those thirteen games. So we want to

1294
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:25,800
Speaker 1: be consistently planned at a high level, obviously stopping to run,

1295
01:00:26,560 --> 01:00:28,840
Speaker 1: affecting the quarterback. And the biggest thing for us is

1296
01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,640
Speaker 1: taking the ball away because that can really transcend every

1297
01:00:31,680 --> 01:00:33,320
Speaker 1: other stat in the book. If you can take the

1298
01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:36,040
Speaker 1: ball away, keep the opponent off the board, and give

1299
01:00:36,080 --> 01:00:38,479
Speaker 1: your offense multiple opportunities to put points on the boards,

1300
01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,600
Speaker 1: you're gonna find yourself winning majority of those football games. Yeah,

1301
01:00:41,600 --> 01:00:43,480
Speaker 1: there's no question of the team overall. I mean, this

1302
01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 1: is a team last year where people outside the organization,

1303
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 1: outside the walls, were saying, you know, this is a

1304
01:00:48,960 --> 01:00:50,800
Speaker 1: team that is tanking, and they traded those guys in,

1305
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 1: and then you came out and overachieved at every turn

1306
01:00:53,360 --> 01:00:56,280
Speaker 1: and every step of the way through throughout the regular season,

1307
01:00:56,400 --> 01:00:59,320
Speaker 1: got to the playoffs, and that had to It was

1308
01:00:59,560 --> 01:01:02,160
Speaker 1: such a good feeling around not just inside the locker room,

1309
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:06,840
Speaker 1: but also around the fan base and all that is there,

1310
01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:10,840
Speaker 1: the mentality that you know, that's the way this team operates.

1311
01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:12,920
Speaker 1: We're gonna overachieve at every turn. I mean that, and

1312
01:01:13,160 --> 01:01:16,360
Speaker 1: certainly that's hard to duplicate, right, And it's hard to duplicate,

1313
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:19,360
Speaker 1: And I think you overachieved based on external expectations of

1314
01:01:19,440 --> 01:01:21,400
Speaker 1: the team. I think you know, and you know there's

1315
01:01:21,440 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 1: being in the locker room every year. You feel like

1316
01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,000
Speaker 1: you have a chance to go out there every and

1317
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:27,960
Speaker 1: go to the playoffs and win every game. But you

1318
01:01:28,080 --> 01:01:29,520
Speaker 1: have to put the work in and I think that's

1319
01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,840
Speaker 1: what our coaching staff does so well. I mean we

1320
01:01:32,960 --> 01:01:36,160
Speaker 1: emphasize the mundane you running to the ball, stripping at

1321
01:01:36,160 --> 01:01:38,600
Speaker 1: the football, making sure we catch the ball, fundamentals are you,

1322
01:01:38,680 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 1: are you lined up properly, and all those things you know,

1323
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 1: big and small. Really the small things add up to wins.

1324
01:01:45,440 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 1: And I think people oftentimes overlooked at and want to

1325
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,840
Speaker 1: go straight to talent. But talent is just a starting point.

1326
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:51,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of great teams that have had great

1327
01:01:51,680 --> 01:01:53,800
Speaker 1: talent but never can win a Super Bowl because there's

1328
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:57,040
Speaker 1: no cohesive nest there, there's no accountability. All those little

1329
01:01:57,080 --> 01:01:59,320
Speaker 1: things that allow you to transcend talent take you to

1330
01:01:59,400 --> 01:02:01,920
Speaker 1: the next level, um aren't there. So those are the

1331
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 1: things that we like to focus on, and we can

1332
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:05,520
Speaker 1: tee to focus on them, whether it's in the spring

1333
01:02:05,760 --> 01:02:09,120
Speaker 1: or as week sixteen, especially with Bob Babbage, we are

1334
01:02:09,480 --> 01:02:11,800
Speaker 1: detail oriented and those are the things that take you

1335
01:02:11,880 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 1: over the hum Lorenzo. The Bills made a roster move

1336
01:02:14,880 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, bringing on a guy that

1337
01:02:16,240 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: you're familiar with, Kenny Robinson. You Suest said, all right,

1338
01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:21,640
Speaker 1: tell us about him. What do you know about I

1339
01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,880
Speaker 1: had him as a rookie back in Washington and in

1340
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,600
Speaker 1: twenty and twelve we played one year together. But great guy,

1341
01:02:26,840 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 1: very athletic, long, can run, can cover, a great special

1342
01:02:30,640 --> 01:02:33,560
Speaker 1: teams player when asks to be out there. UM, and

1343
01:02:33,600 --> 01:02:35,000
Speaker 1: as a guy that has ability to start in this

1344
01:02:35,080 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 1: league and has shown it with I think over thirty

1345
01:02:37,040 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 1: starts in his career. So he's a great asset to

1346
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 1: bring in. Is gonna add versatility and depth to our

1347
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:45,240
Speaker 1: to our roster and UM obviously as we compete and

1348
01:02:45,600 --> 01:02:49,320
Speaker 1: through the preseason, we'll see how everything kind of falls

1349
01:02:49,320 --> 01:02:51,600
Speaker 1: out on how people's rolls start to get defined as

1350
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 1: we begin the season. What are you guys thinking about.

1351
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:55,120
Speaker 1: What's the little vibe in the locker room about first

1352
01:02:55,160 --> 01:02:59,880
Speaker 1: practice coming up? You know at what is? Yeah, we're excited.

1353
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,360
Speaker 1: Still shorts and T shirts so we're still soccer. We

1354
01:03:02,440 --> 01:03:05,640
Speaker 1: don't have to show on yet. So guys I think

1355
01:03:05,680 --> 01:03:07,160
Speaker 1: are still anxious to get out there and just start

1356
01:03:07,280 --> 01:03:09,320
Speaker 1: running around and get back into the into doing what

1357
01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 1: they love to do. Yeah, you're gonna work on your

1358
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:15,600
Speaker 1: name or move here to go down in that class. No,

1359
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna work. I know guys that do that though,

1360
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 1: and miss all training camp and then come out week

1361
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,840
Speaker 1: one day ready to go. I'm seeing a lot of

1362
01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:24,760
Speaker 1: vest through that over the years and all your years

1363
01:03:24,840 --> 01:03:26,720
Speaker 1: in the league. Do you have like a veteran approach

1364
01:03:26,840 --> 01:03:29,960
Speaker 1: to especially early training camp and you kind of transmitted

1365
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:31,959
Speaker 1: to some of the younger guys like, look, we're gonna

1366
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:33,840
Speaker 1: be here three weeks, that's not Yeah, I'm mistake it

1367
01:03:33,960 --> 01:03:36,920
Speaker 1: day by day, you know, a slow approach really just

1368
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:39,640
Speaker 1: trying to get a great grasp of the defense, what

1369
01:03:39,760 --> 01:03:42,080
Speaker 1: other people's roles are, and where I can improve my

1370
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:44,960
Speaker 1: game and make more plays. So when somebody else makes

1371
01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:47,080
Speaker 1: a mistake, if I make a mistake, I'm writing it down,

1372
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:48,960
Speaker 1: dropping it down so when it comes again, I'm not

1373
01:03:49,040 --> 01:03:51,160
Speaker 1: making the same thing. Just so I could rise my

1374
01:03:51,280 --> 01:03:54,880
Speaker 1: game up and just be a leader obviously vocally, but

1375
01:03:54,960 --> 01:03:56,800
Speaker 1: I really want to be in production and everything that

1376
01:03:56,840 --> 01:03:58,200
Speaker 1: I'm doing when I'm out on the field to help

1377
01:03:58,280 --> 01:04:00,160
Speaker 1: us win games. Steve and I were talking about any

1378
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:01,520
Speaker 1: camp the other day. And I think one thing that

1379
01:04:01,720 --> 01:04:04,560
Speaker 1: maybe underrated, and maybe it's not, is the meeting time

1380
01:04:04,640 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 1: you spend out here, you guys, when you're not in

1381
01:04:06,560 --> 01:04:08,880
Speaker 1: the field, you're typically in meetings, right yeah, And that's

1382
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,560
Speaker 1: what I'm talking about right there. I think you get

1383
01:04:10,600 --> 01:04:12,240
Speaker 1: so much better in the film room when you take

1384
01:04:12,320 --> 01:04:14,760
Speaker 1: it seriously. I mean, oftentimes you can kind of, you know,

1385
01:04:15,600 --> 01:04:18,040
Speaker 1: fall asleep or be drained, but if you go in

1386
01:04:18,120 --> 01:04:21,480
Speaker 1: there really being critical of yourself and then watching everybody

1387
01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:23,960
Speaker 1: around you, you can become a better football player. And

1388
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:27,120
Speaker 1: that's why guys like Kyle Williams or Tom Brady, these

1389
01:04:27,160 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 1: guys trans in the game because they're students of the game.

1390
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: And that's really where you make a lot of games,

1391
01:04:31,520 --> 01:04:33,960
Speaker 1: especially later in your career when your body may not

1392
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 1: be able to react as well mentally. You have it,

1393
01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:38,600
Speaker 1: and so I try to instill that with a lot

1394
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,120
Speaker 1: of the young guys. You know, make every part of

1395
01:04:41,200 --> 01:04:45,160
Speaker 1: this game be professional, win taking great notes, watching film,

1396
01:04:45,280 --> 01:04:48,440
Speaker 1: studying your opponent. And then obviously the physical part takes

1397
01:04:48,480 --> 01:04:51,080
Speaker 1: care of itself because most people enjoy doing that, competing,

1398
01:04:51,240 --> 01:04:54,680
Speaker 1: lifting weights, going out there and playing football. And we've

1399
01:04:54,720 --> 01:04:56,720
Speaker 1: talked a little bit about you know, there's a lot

1400
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:58,560
Speaker 1: of new faces on your side of the ball, particularly

1401
01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:00,080
Speaker 1: in that front seven. Talk to us a little but

1402
01:05:00,160 --> 01:05:02,800
Speaker 1: about what that means for you, what you guys, how

1403
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,840
Speaker 1: that affects your expectations, how it's affected you know, you're

1404
01:05:06,240 --> 01:05:08,800
Speaker 1: not your second. You gotta teach some guys, some more guys,

1405
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: some new things, you know, that kind of thing to

1406
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: talk to us about that transition. Well, the two biggest

1407
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,560
Speaker 1: names that I think about is Trent Murphy and Star

1408
01:05:15,960 --> 01:05:19,440
Speaker 1: lu to Leleum. And those guys are veterans, pros. Obviously

1409
01:05:19,520 --> 01:05:22,520
Speaker 1: stars played in his defense. Trent is very smart and

1410
01:05:22,560 --> 01:05:25,360
Speaker 1: instinctive football players. So those guys stepping in the D

1411
01:05:25,480 --> 01:05:29,120
Speaker 1: line role, Um, it's it's an easier transition that may

1412
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:31,080
Speaker 1: be coming to play linebacker. And those guys are gonna

1413
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 1: be instrumental in setting a new line of scrimmage, putting

1414
01:05:33,240 --> 01:05:36,080
Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. And what I saw and um

1415
01:05:36,240 --> 01:05:40,000
Speaker 1: ochs from Star Uh, he's gonna be very disruptive. And

1416
01:05:40,080 --> 01:05:42,280
Speaker 1: we didn't have pads on. He's still throwing guys around

1417
01:05:42,360 --> 01:05:44,360
Speaker 1: using his speed and quickness. And that I made sure

1418
01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,560
Speaker 1: to see. What Trent does. He's a very good football player,

1419
01:05:46,680 --> 01:05:49,760
Speaker 1: very smart, tough, physical, is gonna see how he responds,

1420
01:05:50,360 --> 01:05:52,360
Speaker 1: you know, with back to back practices, But I think

1421
01:05:52,400 --> 01:05:54,800
Speaker 1: he's gonna be good. He's been doing a great job recovering,

1422
01:05:54,880 --> 01:05:57,040
Speaker 1: and I'm that's really gonna help us take it to

1423
01:05:57,120 --> 01:05:58,720
Speaker 1: the to the next level, because I think that's where

1424
01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,439
Speaker 1: we may have, you know, fred a little bit last

1425
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 1: year was upfront, maybe not having the depth that we wanted.

1426
01:06:04,200 --> 01:06:05,960
Speaker 1: But adding those two guys along with the guys that

1427
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:07,400
Speaker 1: we bring back, I think it's going to be real

1428
01:06:07,480 --> 01:06:10,040
Speaker 1: solid up front. I read a quote from Leslie Frazier

1429
01:06:10,080 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 1: about Trent Murphy and he mentioned how a guy like

1430
01:06:12,720 --> 01:06:15,560
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy could be big for Jerry Hughes really and

1431
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,000
Speaker 1: maybe get hused back up to double jigit sacks. Do

1432
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:20,120
Speaker 1: you see that? Maybe it's well, yeah, well, anytime you

1433
01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,560
Speaker 1: have a dominant guy on one side, you want to

1434
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:25,840
Speaker 1: you want somebody to be able to be his counterpart

1435
01:06:26,160 --> 01:06:28,680
Speaker 1: or compliment him on the opposite side. So guys can't

1436
01:06:28,760 --> 01:06:30,960
Speaker 1: necessarily chip every time. And we're talking about on first

1437
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,480
Speaker 1: and second down, where you can you know, play action

1438
01:06:33,600 --> 01:06:35,200
Speaker 1: running back chips Jerry. Now, if you have a guy

1439
01:06:35,240 --> 01:06:37,160
Speaker 1: on the other side that's balling out kind of like

1440
01:06:37,280 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 1: what the Chargers have in Boza and Melvin Ingram. Who

1441
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 1: do you pick because now you have two guys that

1442
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:45,040
Speaker 1: are going to be able to put pressure, whether it's

1443
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 1: you know, play action first and second down, run and

1444
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 1: really get after even on third downs. You know, Trent

1445
01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:51,960
Speaker 1: is very first. How I can still play that end

1446
01:06:52,040 --> 01:06:54,480
Speaker 1: three technique and get after the quarterback. It makes it

1447
01:06:54,600 --> 01:06:57,480
Speaker 1: hard for coordinators to pick on a certain guy. Well,

1448
01:06:57,480 --> 01:06:59,360
Speaker 1: the biggest difference for me and when I when I

1449
01:06:59,480 --> 01:07:01,800
Speaker 1: go out and over the NFL, the best defenses and

1450
01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,720
Speaker 1: the really ones are the ones that can get pressure

1451
01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:06,560
Speaker 1: with four guys right and get it on time fast

1452
01:07:06,600 --> 01:07:09,480
Speaker 1: and once in a while now and then, but always

1453
01:07:09,520 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 1: the ball's got to come out on time even with

1454
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 1: just four guys press. So when you send extra guys,

1455
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,920
Speaker 1: it's that much faster. So the guys you've got now

1456
01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,040
Speaker 1: you're talking about, all of them are capable of you know,

1457
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,520
Speaker 1: getting You're able to get pressure and get the ball

1458
01:07:22,560 --> 01:07:24,520
Speaker 1: out on time with just four guys rushing. So the

1459
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,560
Speaker 1: dbs on the back end may reap some benefits for

1460
01:07:26,640 --> 01:07:28,680
Speaker 1: right and that's our mentality and we're able to do

1461
01:07:28,760 --> 01:07:30,680
Speaker 1: that a lot last. I think our DBS, you know,

1462
01:07:30,800 --> 01:07:33,320
Speaker 1: with Jerry and Kyle and other guys putting pressure on them,

1463
01:07:33,360 --> 01:07:36,440
Speaker 1: I mean they probably probably top five I would imagine

1464
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:40,840
Speaker 1: in interceptions between Poyer, Micah and Tredavious. Those guys really

1465
01:07:40,880 --> 01:07:42,160
Speaker 1: took advantage of that. And that's what we want to

1466
01:07:42,200 --> 01:07:44,000
Speaker 1: continue to do. And obviously this year we want to

1467
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,800
Speaker 1: be able to get the quarterback down, more forced fumbles

1468
01:07:46,800 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 1: and strip sacks and just raise our game. And adding

1469
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:51,360
Speaker 1: those two guys, I think it's going to definitely allow

1470
01:07:51,440 --> 01:07:53,120
Speaker 1: us to do that. Last thing. For Lorenzer, when we

1471
01:07:53,280 --> 01:07:55,200
Speaker 1: last talk to you mid June or so, you talked

1472
01:07:55,200 --> 01:07:57,960
Speaker 1: about how you really kind of ramp up your nutrition program.

1473
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:00,520
Speaker 1: You're you're hearing street clothes, but you look lean. Have

1474
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:03,080
Speaker 1: you leaned up? Lade up? I followed off about five

1475
01:08:03,160 --> 01:08:06,160
Speaker 1: pounds and a hazy summer and late really tightened up

1476
01:08:06,200 --> 01:08:09,240
Speaker 1: my diet and just continue on that and as week

1477
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:10,960
Speaker 1: one gets here, getting ready to peek. As we ended

1478
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:13,360
Speaker 1: the season, gratulations to you, good luck on another camp.

1479

Speaker 1: It's great to have you here. I appreciate it. Thank you.

1480
01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:20,599
Speaker 1: Idn't know the other direction I gotta say thanks, Lorenzo.

1496
01:09:10,520 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 1: to people are listening to the show and getting to

1497
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:19,519
Speaker 1: some feedback. But the tweet sheets full, people are, everybody's

1498
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:24,560
Speaker 1: excited about it. Everybody knows Camp stars today and you know,

1499
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:28,240
Speaker 1: it's just it's awesome. I'm kind of searching for something

1500
01:09:28,240 --> 01:09:31,640
Speaker 1: to say because we're getting we're getting so many complaints

1501
01:09:31,680 --> 01:09:34,840
Speaker 1: that people are trying to listen online and they can't.

1502
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,439
Speaker 1: We have listeners. Good that we have a lot of

1503
01:09:38,479 --> 01:09:41,320
Speaker 1: people listening to us and and it's frustrating when they

1504
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 1: can't get enough of their bills stuff. So it's good

1505
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:45,559
Speaker 1: if you are listening, if you can respond to respond

1506
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:47,599
Speaker 1: to our question, well, I like our question. What kind

1507
01:09:47,600 --> 01:09:50,360
Speaker 1: of challenge do Sean McDermott face this year? Is it

1508
01:09:50,800 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 1: a bigger challenge than a year ago? Less of a challenge?

1509
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,719
Speaker 1: You're pretty much the same. That's our Twitter polling on Twitter,

1510
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 1: most of you, seventy percent of you say he's looking

1511
01:09:58,240 --> 01:09:59,920
Speaker 1: at a bigger challenge than he had a year ago

1512
01:10:00,439 --> 01:10:03,120
Speaker 1: nine percent. Only nine percent say he's looking to at

1513
01:10:03,160 --> 01:10:04,840
Speaker 1: a little bit less of a challenge than he had

1514
01:10:04,840 --> 01:10:06,760
Speaker 1: a year ago. Taking over first year in the league.

1515
01:10:06,920 --> 01:10:09,599
Speaker 1: Twenty one percent say Sean mcdermot's challenge is about the same.

1516
01:10:09,880 --> 01:10:11,560
Speaker 1: Give us a call. We'd love to discuss that with you.

1517
01:10:11,720 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty toll free from outside Buffalo

1518
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,160
Speaker 1: one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty. The

1519
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,360
Speaker 1: phone line's wide open right now. Or maybe you'd like

1520
01:10:20,439 --> 01:10:21,840
Speaker 1: to check in. Buy a Twitter and you've got some

1521
01:10:21,960 --> 01:10:24,280
Speaker 1: on the tweet sheet there right. See, Yeah, that's right,

1522
01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:28,160
Speaker 1: We've got from Chris Rolick. The biggest challenge in my

1523
01:10:28,240 --> 01:10:30,120
Speaker 1: opinion this year will be the fans in the media,

1524
01:10:30,200 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: no matter who he starts at quarterback, talking about Sean McDermott.

1525
01:10:33,640 --> 01:10:37,840
Speaker 1: That will never be There will be never ending controversy

1526
01:10:37,960 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 1: over who should have started. Yeah, and everybody's gonna have that.

1527
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:44,559
Speaker 1: I disagree with that. It depends on the outcomes as well. Yeah,

1528
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 1: I's gonna complain if they win games. And I think

1529
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,040
Speaker 1: another thing is it's gonna be a little bit like

1530
01:10:48,160 --> 01:10:50,960
Speaker 1: the draft. And I see I see Chris's point in

1531
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:54,800
Speaker 1: the tweet. Remember after the draft, you know, everybody had

1532
01:10:54,840 --> 01:10:57,120
Speaker 1: a different one of these young quarterbacks they wanted to draft,

1533
01:10:57,479 --> 01:11:00,080
Speaker 1: you know. And I think the proof is gonna be

1534
01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: in the pudding. If if if Josh Alley comes out,

1535
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 1: wins the starting job, starts playing well, starts you know,

1536
01:11:06,840 --> 01:11:09,280
Speaker 1: if he pans out to be the guy, everybody will

1537
01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:10,680
Speaker 1: be on board with it. And it's the same thing

1538
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:14,640
Speaker 1: with this with the with the team. Yeah, there's a

1539
01:11:14,760 --> 01:11:17,320
Speaker 1: lot of quarterbacks with an option to three quarterbacks with

1540
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:20,040
Speaker 1: an option to start. But if the team plays well,

1541
01:11:20,120 --> 01:11:23,000
Speaker 1: nobody's gonna complain. The other thing about Chris Rolex tweeting.

1542
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:24,519
Speaker 1: I'm glad he tweeted in and thank you Chris for

1543
01:11:24,600 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 1: doing that. But when you say that you assumed it'll

1544
01:11:26,720 --> 01:11:28,599
Speaker 1: be a close race. What if we get through training

1545
01:11:28,680 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 1: camp and preseason games and it is clear who the

1546
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:34,760
Speaker 1: starter should be, that's I would think that's more likely

1547
01:11:34,840 --> 01:11:37,280
Speaker 1: to happen than the other way. You know, we just

1548
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:39,479
Speaker 1: went through this a couple of years ago, three years ago,

1549
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,160
Speaker 1: right Tyrod Taylor's first year. Here was Tyrode, it was

1550
01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,160
Speaker 1: Matt Castle, and it was z jam Manuel and it

1551
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 1: was a Now that was I think an anomaly. It

1552
01:11:47,680 --> 01:11:50,600
Speaker 1: was a pretty close race. Tyrode eventually pulled ahead in

1553
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:53,479
Speaker 1: preseason games, but the other two played well in preseason

1554
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:58,240
Speaker 1: Manuel played well and and Matt Castle played okay too, Okay,

1555
01:11:58,560 --> 01:12:00,680
Speaker 1: But even then, with the three man race, it was

1556
01:12:00,720 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 1: pretty clear that Tyrode was the choice, and the coach

1557
01:12:03,160 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 1: at the time, Rex Ryan went with it. So I

1558
01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:07,280
Speaker 1: think you assume that it's going to be a close call,

1559
01:12:07,439 --> 01:12:09,439
Speaker 1: might not be a close call, And if it's not,

1560
01:12:09,560 --> 01:12:11,800
Speaker 1: then I don't think Sean McDermott will face any second

1561
01:12:11,840 --> 01:12:14,400
Speaker 1: guessing at all. You skipped over this one from the

1562
01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:18,920
Speaker 1: tweet sheet Steve from John Sengebush. Steve has been growing

1563
01:12:19,040 --> 01:12:21,960
Speaker 1: that beard for six weeks. That's the same number of

1564
01:12:21,960 --> 01:12:24,720
Speaker 1: weeks he's been on vacation. He just started the show

1565
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:28,320
Speaker 1: seven seven and a half weeks ago. Hashtag are you hiring?

1566
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:32,920
Speaker 1: All good questions? Valid questions, John, extremely validable. We are hiring,

1567
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: and we're hiring I people to fix radio dot Com. No, yeah,

1568
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:40,160
Speaker 1: that I have been growing the beard for a while

1569
01:12:40,560 --> 01:12:44,439
Speaker 1: and it it came in gray for some reason. I

1570
01:12:44,479 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 1: don't know why that hits why. I cannot understand why

1571
01:12:47,600 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 1: it came in gray. It didn't used to come in

1572
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,560
Speaker 1: It doesn't really come in that great anyway. But we

1573
01:12:52,640 --> 01:12:54,439
Speaker 1: were just talking about it with Lorenzo. When you go

1574
01:12:54,560 --> 01:12:56,400
Speaker 1: back to work on the CBS side, you can probably

1575
01:12:56,400 --> 01:12:58,760
Speaker 1: get away with that on Bill's preseason games? Is that

1576
01:12:58,800 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 1: what you're counting down when you do these three preseason

1577
01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,720
Speaker 1: well last two weeks away. So no, I don't know

1578
01:13:04,760 --> 01:13:06,519
Speaker 1: if I'll do the preseason game. Maybe that'll be a

1579
01:13:06,600 --> 01:13:11,240
Speaker 1: Twitter question should be when you get the CBS sideline

1580
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:13,880
Speaker 1: work with the number two crew, Um, you know what

1581
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:17,639
Speaker 1: are they gonna say? Uh, Steve, we don't we appreciate, uh,

1582
01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:21,800
Speaker 1: closely shaved him. No, Tracy Wolfson, So she's not gonna

1583
01:13:21,800 --> 01:13:23,920
Speaker 1: sport a grade, but you could be Dan Fouts. Fouts

1584
01:13:23,960 --> 01:13:27,280
Speaker 1: has a wonderful beard. Yeah, but Dan Foults man, No,

1585
01:13:27,520 --> 01:13:30,400
Speaker 1: you're there. You've been a CBS twenty five years, twenty

1586
01:13:30,600 --> 01:13:32,799
Speaker 1: twenty one. This will be twenty one years or two decades.

1587
01:13:32,840 --> 01:13:35,000
Speaker 1: You may have Sideline earned the right to have a

1588
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:39,639
Speaker 1: little facial hair foultism in their twenty one years. Fouts

1589
01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,200
Speaker 1: has been in the in the Hall of Fame for

1590
01:13:41,240 --> 01:13:43,720
Speaker 1: a few years though, I mean he's yeah, no, he's

1591
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:47,120
Speaker 1: if Dan Fouts was in the booth. See, I'm working

1592
01:13:47,160 --> 01:13:49,639
Speaker 1: with Kevin Harland and rich Gannon. Rich doesn't wear a beard.

1593
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:51,360
Speaker 1: So if my analysts I can get rich Gannon to

1594
01:13:51,400 --> 01:13:53,640
Speaker 1: wear a beard, maybe I'll wear a beard too. All right,

1595
01:13:53,680 --> 01:13:57,000
Speaker 1: what else you got one? She's also from John Rutledge.

1596
01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,680
Speaker 1: It's definitely a bigger, well, bigger chat and just does

1597
01:14:00,800 --> 01:14:03,320
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot have well. Key pieces have been added on

1598
01:14:03,479 --> 01:14:05,519
Speaker 1: both sides of the ball. The offense now has a

1599
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,639
Speaker 1: diminished offensive line from the retirement of Incognito and Wood,

1600
01:14:10,640 --> 01:14:14,040
Speaker 1: plus a new quarterback and a new offensive coordinator. Will

1601
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 1: make the offense interesting yet exciting. It's an exciting time

1602
01:14:17,520 --> 01:14:19,720
Speaker 1: to be a Bills fan. I gotta I gotta agree

1603
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:22,800
Speaker 1: with that last part for sure. And the offensive line

1604
01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:26,760
Speaker 1: has been retooled, no question about it. Richie Incognito was

1605
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:30,240
Speaker 1: a favorite, and so and Eric Woods was as it

1606
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:33,040
Speaker 1: was a tremendous center and would still be playing if

1607
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 1: it weren't for the injury he suffered uh last year.

1608
01:14:37,040 --> 01:14:41,800
Speaker 1: So there are some new pieces, a lot of new

1609
01:14:41,880 --> 01:14:43,600
Speaker 1: question marks, a lot of intrigue, and a lot of

1610
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 1: pieces added to the team. Murph. For me, you gotta

1611
01:14:48,200 --> 01:14:51,720
Speaker 1: consider them upgrades, particularly on the defensive, particularly on the

1612
01:14:51,800 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball. They're they're deeper and better

1613
01:14:54,200 --> 01:14:57,840
Speaker 1: on the front line and deeper behind those guys. A

1614
01:14:57,920 --> 01:14:59,840
Speaker 1: lot of reasons to be optimistic, at least on that

1615
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:01,880
Speaker 1: side of the ball. I think there's all obviously more

1616
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,000
Speaker 1: questions on the offensive side. What do you think give

1617
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:07,120
Speaker 1: us a call? Bigger challenge for Sean McDermott, This year

1618
01:15:07,240 --> 01:15:09,160
Speaker 1: less of a challenge than a year ago. Is going

1619
01:15:09,240 --> 01:15:11,240
Speaker 1: to be more difficult, less difficult, let's hear from you,

1620
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Frank and Williamsville is on the line with a hello Frank,

1621
01:15:14,120 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 1: go ahead, giants a bigger challenge these are these are

1622
01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:21,640
Speaker 1: there guys? Right? They pick these guys, especially most of them,

1623
01:15:21,760 --> 01:15:24,600
Speaker 1: many of them a huge pressure for that guy that

1624
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:27,559
Speaker 1: to performance. That's the guy they wanted. The other ones

1625
01:15:27,600 --> 01:15:30,040
Speaker 1: they could have had another pick of the top four guys.

1626
01:15:30,760 --> 01:15:33,439
Speaker 1: I asked you a question about judging his ability. Now,

1627
01:15:33,520 --> 01:15:36,080
Speaker 1: let's say he's the third quarterback in in the fourth

1628
01:15:36,200 --> 01:15:38,960
Speaker 1: quarter of the game. Um, like, Steve, how many those

1629
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 1: guys in the fourth quarter with five minutes out there?

1630
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,760
Speaker 1: Percentage those guys are gonna make this make up the

1631
01:15:43,880 --> 01:15:46,920
Speaker 1: fifty three man rosters? Does that make it harder for

1632
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:50,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Allen? Does make it easier? Yeah, it

1633
01:15:50,840 --> 01:15:53,200
Speaker 1: does make it harder. It's harder to play well when

1634
01:15:53,400 --> 01:15:56,920
Speaker 1: but then again, you gotta remember this too, Uh, he's

1635
01:15:56,960 --> 01:15:58,640
Speaker 1: going to be playing against guys who are in the

1636
01:15:58,760 --> 01:16:00,519
Speaker 1: last four minutes for the other team team as well,

1637
01:16:00,640 --> 01:16:02,680
Speaker 1: you know, I mean the guys they're playing against are

1638
01:16:02,680 --> 01:16:06,000
Speaker 1: gonna be kind of cleaning up the game as well.

1639
01:16:06,040 --> 01:16:08,920
Speaker 1: So yeah, he should he should be. Okay, they're not.

1640
01:16:09,200 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: They're not gonna be playing against the front line of

1641
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:15,120
Speaker 1: the defense of the Carolina Panthers. When when Josh Allen

1642
01:16:15,160 --> 01:16:17,200
Speaker 1: gets in there in the fourth quarter, I would anticipate

1643
01:16:17,280 --> 01:16:20,200
Speaker 1: Alan probably looking pretty good in the in the last

1644
01:16:20,400 --> 01:16:23,040
Speaker 1: if he's the third quarterback in playing the last playing

1645
01:16:23,080 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 1: the fourth quarter of a preseason game, he should look

1646
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 1: pretty good because he'll be playing against the bottom echelon

1647
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 1: of the other team's roster. But that's not not likely

1648
01:16:30,960 --> 01:16:32,720
Speaker 1: to be the case every each one of the fourth

1649
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:34,560
Speaker 1: preseason games, right when you get all of them. But

1650
01:16:34,600 --> 01:16:37,200
Speaker 1: that's the Cleveland weeks two, right, Yeah, Cleveland's Week two.

1651
01:16:37,360 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 1: But if that's the scenario you're looking at, that's what

1652
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,760
Speaker 1: you're thinking, and he should, you know, you're you're there's

1653
01:16:42,760 --> 01:16:46,160
Speaker 1: gonna be times when all these quarterbacks, and let's face it,

1654
01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:49,320
Speaker 1: Nate Peterman looked very good in the preseason last year. Hey,

1655
01:16:49,360 --> 01:16:51,680
Speaker 1: that's why he's on the team. That's you know, how

1656
01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:53,680
Speaker 1: much I want to see Josh Allen play. How much

1657
01:16:53,680 --> 01:16:55,240
Speaker 1: you want to see Josh Hanlon play. How much the

1658
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:56,680
Speaker 1: fans want to you know, who really wants to see

1659
01:16:56,720 --> 01:16:59,200
Speaker 1: how we play? Sean mc John McDermott and his coaching staff.

1660
01:16:59,520 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 1: So they're not gonna just you know, they want a

1661
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:03,880
Speaker 1: true evaluation of where he's at they'll get it from

1662
01:17:03,920 --> 01:17:05,439
Speaker 1: some of the practices here, but they're gonna want to

1663
01:17:05,439 --> 01:17:08,479
Speaker 1: see him against quality competent. He'll probably, I'm guessing I

1664
01:17:08,560 --> 01:17:11,240
Speaker 1: have no inside information here, he'll probably start at least

1665
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,759
Speaker 1: one preseason game. He's gonna start the night game against Cincinnati.

1666
01:17:13,840 --> 01:17:16,360
Speaker 1: Third preseason game. You know that, you believe now, I

1667
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 1: think that's gonna happen. Well, wait, wait, that's not true.

1668
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 1: I think he's gonna start the fourth preseason game because

1669
01:17:21,160 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: the third one is the is the one where the

1670
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:26,240
Speaker 1: starts kind of go past half time and they give

1671
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 1: him a lot of long The number ones are gonna

1672
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:30,160
Speaker 1: go a long time in the third, the fourth one,

1673
01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:34,000
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be surprised if Josh Allen plays three quarters

1674
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 1: of that game. Yeah, he's gonna get at least one start.

1675
01:17:36,000 --> 01:17:38,519
Speaker 1: That's if that's if the depth chart doesn't change before then, right,

1676
01:17:38,560 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 1: and if things are going well and he needs to

1677
01:17:40,240 --> 01:17:43,040
Speaker 1: go well starting tonight in practice tonight A call here

1678
01:17:43,160 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: from Corey and Tonawanda to Corey, welcome to the show.

1679
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:49,360
Speaker 1: You're on the air with us, guys. I have a

1680
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:52,760
Speaker 1: question about the challenge for SA mcdermots. They said the

1681
01:17:52,800 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 1: twenty team season I actually think it's probably be much

1682
01:17:55,880 --> 01:18:00,120
Speaker 1: easier for him because Sha McDermot has his people. Like

1683
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:02,680
Speaker 1: everybody that he had a couple of years ago, it

1684
01:18:02,840 --> 01:18:06,519
Speaker 1: wasn't his Everybody thought Sean mcdonner was crazy when they

1685
01:18:06,680 --> 01:18:12,320
Speaker 1: gave Saby Walker's a Way, m Marcel Darius, Jack Wars

1686
01:18:12,760 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 1: and so on. Everybody kept going judging them and judging them. Now,

1687
01:18:16,880 --> 01:18:18,880
Speaker 1: for a guy that's only been with the Bills for

1688
01:18:19,280 --> 01:18:22,360
Speaker 1: the first year, I think he's doing a heck of

1689
01:18:22,439 --> 01:18:25,559
Speaker 1: a great job. And the people that he has right now,

1690
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 1: it's Dermot guys. It's like, if you don't agree with

1691
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:34,000
Speaker 1: his methods to everything, by all means, go somewhere else.

1692
01:18:34,439 --> 01:18:36,479
Speaker 1: And you gotta realize the why receivers that we have.

1693
01:18:37,520 --> 01:18:40,640
Speaker 1: Remember a few years ago, we had this guy, Sabatha Pick.

1694
01:18:40,680 --> 01:18:42,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if they'll remember. His name was I

1695
01:18:42,280 --> 01:18:48,120
Speaker 1: don't know, number thirteen by Stevie j He Righte Fitzpatrick.

1696
01:18:48,200 --> 01:18:51,080
Speaker 1: For few years of the first three years he had

1697
01:18:51,160 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 1: thousand yards receive it. You know, Yeah, you make a

1698
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,200
Speaker 1: good point there, Corey, you make a good point. I

1699
01:18:57,240 --> 01:18:59,360
Speaker 1: mean it is his second year. He's got many of

1700
01:18:59,439 --> 01:19:01,559
Speaker 1: his people here. Uh, he's got a couple of new

1701
01:19:01,720 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 1: edition to the coaching staff. And you know what Elsie

1702
01:19:03,840 --> 01:19:07,200
Speaker 1: has Steve, he's got um, He's he made the playoffs.

1703
01:19:07,200 --> 01:19:10,040
Speaker 1: He got nine wins last year. He's got you know,

1704
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:12,680
Speaker 1: the Cory's point is that'd be easier. Sean McDermott has

1705
01:19:12,800 --> 01:19:16,240
Speaker 1: a little bit more. I don't know, cashing the bank now.

1706
01:19:16,280 --> 01:19:19,000
Speaker 1: Now I don't mean cash, I mean stock in people

1707
01:19:19,040 --> 01:19:21,080
Speaker 1: believing in him. After getting nine wins out of that

1708
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 1: group last year and getting into the playoff, he's got.

1709
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:25,040
Speaker 1: He's got a great level of credibility, particular with a

1710
01:19:25,120 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 1: fan base. I mean that this is a team that

1711
01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:29,960
Speaker 1: was We've said at a kazillion times this offseason, they

1712
01:19:29,960 --> 01:19:32,680
Speaker 1: were accused of tanking after they traded Sammy Watkins, after

1713
01:19:32,720 --> 01:19:36,559
Speaker 1: they traded Ron Darby. They thought people thought they were

1714
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,800
Speaker 1: going bare cupboards. So they get a high draft pick

1715
01:19:41,439 --> 01:19:43,240
Speaker 1: and get one of these quarterbacks that were coming out. Well,

1716
01:19:43,320 --> 01:19:47,200
Speaker 1: it ends up they go to the playoffs. That gives

1717
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,400
Speaker 1: him and his staff, and we've said it this as well.

1718
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:53,480
Speaker 1: They got that roster who was less talented to overachieve

1719
01:19:53,600 --> 01:19:57,000
Speaker 1: and played better than the organization had played in ten years.

1720
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,400
Speaker 1: You know what he gives him if you're if you

1721
01:19:59,560 --> 01:20:01,400
Speaker 1: let any people do like to look at it like this,

1722
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 1: like who's on the hot seat right? Those stories out? Hey,

1723
01:20:03,560 --> 01:20:05,599
Speaker 1: you know get that making the playoffs last year give

1724
01:20:05,640 --> 01:20:08,519
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott a cold seat, a cold seat, but one

1725
01:20:08,600 --> 01:20:10,479
Speaker 1: extra year. Oh yeah, you know what I mean. So

1726
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,360
Speaker 1: if he was gonna be in trouble, and I hate

1727
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,560
Speaker 1: when people analyze it like this, but if he was,

1728
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: if they had had a bad season last year, another

1729
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: one this year, they'd be like, oh, is you go

1730
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:22,360
Speaker 1: into year three with McDermott this this year? Now, good season,

1731
01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:25,439
Speaker 1: nine wins and a playoff Berth in his first year

1732
01:20:25,800 --> 01:20:27,760
Speaker 1: buys him an extra year, at least one extra year

1733
01:20:27,760 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: down the road. Think about mcdermot's mindset coming into this year.

1734
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:34,280
Speaker 1: He last year proved as much to him about himself

1735
01:20:34,400 --> 01:20:36,240
Speaker 1: as it did anybody else. Has never been a head

1736
01:20:36,240 --> 01:20:39,400
Speaker 1: coach anywhere he's got. He's got to even believe even

1737
01:20:39,600 --> 01:20:42,600
Speaker 1: more in his system and his process than he did

1738
01:20:42,760 --> 01:20:45,920
Speaker 1: last year. It's been proven to him with lesser players

1739
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,040
Speaker 1: that his system is the way it's gonna work. So

1740
01:20:49,240 --> 01:20:52,600
Speaker 1: I think for him, he's to keep on keeping on.

1741
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:54,519
Speaker 1: He's gonna have faith that it's gonna work. Now, that

1742
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:56,519
Speaker 1: doesn't mean they're gonna win more games or Lesking, but

1743
01:20:56,640 --> 01:20:58,400
Speaker 1: this is the way to do it in the National

1744
01:20:58,439 --> 01:21:00,960
Speaker 1: Football League, and I think now or than ever, that's

1745
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,400
Speaker 1: instilled in him. I think that kind of makes it

1746
01:21:03,520 --> 01:21:06,080
Speaker 1: easier on him because now he has an added degree

1747
01:21:06,160 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: of self confidence and the listen, this is how we

1748
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,040
Speaker 1: do it, and it's going to work. So let's go.

1749
01:21:10,479 --> 01:21:12,760
Speaker 1: This is why this is I think it's a good question.

1750
01:21:12,840 --> 01:21:15,920
Speaker 1: There are arguments why it's easier and arguments why it's

1751
01:21:15,960 --> 01:21:18,040
Speaker 1: more difficult this year for Sean McDermott. What do you

1752
01:21:18,160 --> 01:21:20,920
Speaker 1: think Phone lines open eight oh three fifty and toll

1753
01:21:21,000 --> 01:21:23,960
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty.

1754
01:21:24,040 --> 01:21:26,519
Speaker 1: Fred on the line from gates right around the corner

1755
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:30,240
Speaker 1: here in Rochester. Hi, Fred, Welcome to the show. Well, thanks, guys,

1756
01:21:30,439 --> 01:21:35,040
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. I just wanted to comment and what

1757
01:21:35,320 --> 01:21:37,840
Speaker 1: mcdermot's going to be facing, and I think he's going

1758
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,360
Speaker 1: to be facing a little bit more of a challenge

1759
01:21:40,400 --> 01:21:44,280
Speaker 1: in last year because of all the changes. Still have

1760
01:21:44,520 --> 01:21:50,080
Speaker 1: faith in him and the staff, the players. I've been

1761
01:21:50,120 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: a Bills fan for way back and loved having season

1762
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:01,360
Speaker 1: tickets for all those years, and my favorite, of course,

1763
01:22:01,600 --> 01:22:04,679
Speaker 1: was always the little guy next to you. He played

1764
01:22:04,760 --> 01:22:11,120
Speaker 1: like a giant and uh, I'm watching him, and especially

1765
01:22:11,240 --> 01:22:14,639
Speaker 1: when Jim Kelly had faith in him for as a receiver.

1766
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:20,000
Speaker 1: Oh man, oh man, the audience what nuts. We loved it,

1767
01:22:20,160 --> 01:22:23,280
Speaker 1: We screamed it. Yeah, I love him. He's the people's choice.

1768
01:22:23,320 --> 01:22:26,000
Speaker 1: He still is. That's why he's sitting here. That's right.

1769
01:22:26,200 --> 01:22:28,320
Speaker 1: You can call in anytime. Now it gets away having

1770
01:22:28,360 --> 01:22:34,920
Speaker 1: that beard, that great beard. People love him. Frank, Frank,

1771

01:22:39,120 --> 01:22:41,559

01:22:42,280 --> 01:22:46,080

01:22:46,120 --> 01:22:48,720
Speaker 1: he didn't say was hang out, Jack. The only thing

1775
01:22:48,800 --> 01:22:51,680
Speaker 1: he missed was why aren't you in the Hall of Fame? Right?

1776
01:22:52,320 --> 01:22:54,040
Speaker 1: They keep a scoreboard, you know, back in the control

1777
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,360
Speaker 1: room in Archard Park. Oh yeah. Every time somebody says

1778

Speaker 1: that it goes up, there's another one. King. Why isn't

1779
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:02,599
Speaker 1: even twice you've Yeah, go ahead, I'm sorry, Jack, you're

1780
01:23:02,640 --> 01:23:05,040
Speaker 1: on the air. Oh you ain't gonna apologize. No, I

1781
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:07,040
Speaker 1: was just I've kind of just listening to the segments

1782
01:23:07,400 --> 01:23:09,400
Speaker 1: as I do every day, and now I'm glad I

1783
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:13,880
Speaker 1: gotta say football seasons back, um, but just kind of

1784
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:15,400
Speaker 1: throw it started it out there. I mean, we had

1785
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:17,519
Speaker 1: we overachieved last year. I was hearing you guys talk

1786
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:19,519
Speaker 1: about overachieving with the team we had in the talent

1787
01:23:19,560 --> 01:23:22,479
Speaker 1: pool that we had, and you know, we've had a

1788
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:25,000
Speaker 1: way better talent pool than we had last year over

1789
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,280
Speaker 1: the drought years and did nothing. McDermott comes in his

1790
01:23:28,360 --> 01:23:30,960
Speaker 1: first year, takes a group of guys, a young group

1791
01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:34,120
Speaker 1: of guys, and they overachieved for them, and they get

1792
01:23:34,200 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 1: us to the playoffs. Now I understand that this year,

1793
01:23:36,560 --> 01:23:38,479
Speaker 1: you know, people all you know, we've I've heard twoling

1794
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,120
Speaker 1: for you know, I've heard we were going to go

1795
01:23:40,160 --> 01:23:42,160
Speaker 1: two and fourteen. I've heard you know, we're gonna bottom

1796
01:23:42,200 --> 01:23:45,559
Speaker 1: out this year. Realistically, I don't see it happening. Yeah,

1797
01:23:45,600 --> 01:23:47,960
Speaker 1: we lost some big players, but you look at the

1798
01:23:48,040 --> 01:23:50,040
Speaker 1: draft pools that we pulled out of and what we

1799
01:23:50,160 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 1: pulled out of that draft for what we did. I mean,

1800
01:23:52,520 --> 01:23:56,000
Speaker 1: I think McDermott has us on the perfect, perfect path

1801
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,719
Speaker 1: to getting us to you know, to a super Bowl

1802
01:23:58,760 --> 01:24:01,200
Speaker 1: sooner than later. And you know what, I'd be willing

1803
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,800
Speaker 1: to take us seven and nine season this year because

1804
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:06,519
Speaker 1: a seven and ninth season doesn't show that we deploy,

1805
01:24:06,680 --> 01:24:08,760
Speaker 1: that we dropped any in our talent pool. It just

1806
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:11,200
Speaker 1: shows that kie rookies that we're putting on the field

1807
01:24:11,240 --> 01:24:13,559
Speaker 1: this year in the draft pool and the guys we lost,

1808
01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:18,840
Speaker 1: we are still competitive. But we will continue to be competitive. Um, hey, Jack,

1809
01:24:18,920 --> 01:24:20,920
Speaker 1: let's cut right to it. If they win seven games

1810
01:24:20,960 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 1: with the rookie at quarterback, that's a and I'm not

1811
01:24:23,479 --> 01:24:25,519
Speaker 1: going to settle for that, but that's a good year

1812
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 1: for the Buffalo Bills. Right. If they're starting a rookie

1813
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:30,360
Speaker 1: and win seven games, that is really good for the

1814
01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 1: Bills this year. I don't want that. I want more

1815
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,760
Speaker 1: than seven wins. But I don't know. I'm saying, what

1816
01:24:34,760 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: are you laughing about something? I agree? Listen, if you

1817
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:41,599
Speaker 1: can win seven games with a rookie quarterback, you're doing

1818
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:44,519
Speaker 1: something that nobody's I don't I can't remember anybody being

1819
01:24:44,560 --> 01:24:46,599
Speaker 1: able to do with a guy who's starting. Well. Yeah,

1820
01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:49,360
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers did it with Ben Roethlisberger. He won

1821
01:24:49,439 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 1: his first fifteen games as a rookie starter. So that's

1822
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:55,760
Speaker 1: pretty good. That's that's not bad. But that was a

1823
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 1: different team that he parachuted Onto and he wasn't he

1824
01:24:58,160 --> 01:25:02,280
Speaker 1: was supposed to play that year, right, Yeah, we'll see,

1826
01:25:05,320 --> 01:25:07,879
Speaker 1: easier this year from last year? Did it get more difficult?

1855
01:26:36,000 --> 01:26:40,519

Speaker 1: first throw. There there. People do that. People do that well,

1857
01:26:46,680 --> 01:26:50,680
Speaker 1: he's an important figure in franchise. I got drafted a

1858
01:26:50,760 --> 01:26:52,600
Speaker 1: quarterback sooner. I got a story I could tell you

1859
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,479
Speaker 1: about that is unbelievable. It's about Tim Tebow. You remember

1860
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,840
Speaker 1: the run he had? Yeah, I don't know, we might

1861
01:26:58,920 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: have time for that. I go ahead, all right, so

1862
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm doing the Remember everybody remembers the run Tim Tebow

1863
01:27:04,040 --> 01:27:08,680
Speaker 1: had with the Denver Broncos after with Josh McDaniels. No,

1864
01:27:08,840 --> 01:27:10,559
Speaker 1: Josh McDaniels as their head coach. No, it was John

1865
01:27:10,600 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 1: Fox as their head coach, and he took them to

1866
01:27:13,960 --> 01:27:17,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs, Tim Tebow at quarterback, and they go They're

1867
01:27:17,840 --> 01:27:21,479
Speaker 1: going to play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Denver for the

1868
01:27:21,520 --> 01:27:24,720
Speaker 1: playoff game. It was that game, that overtime game that

1869
01:27:24,840 --> 01:27:28,240
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow actually won, beat the Pittsburgh Steelers, a huge game.

1870
01:27:28,320 --> 01:27:30,720
Speaker 1: I was the sideline reporter for the radio broadcast of that.

1871
01:27:32,600 --> 01:27:35,479
Speaker 1: My lovely bride, Sarah, accompanied me to Denver, who we

1872
01:27:35,560 --> 01:27:37,280
Speaker 1: have family out there, so she visited them, and then

1873
01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:39,680
Speaker 1: at the game day she had a pregame pass. So

1874
01:27:39,760 --> 01:27:43,920
Speaker 1: we were walking around and the big swirl surrounding that

1875
01:27:44,120 --> 01:27:47,439
Speaker 1: was the quarterback Tim Tebow. He can't play. You know.

1876
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:50,680
Speaker 1: The critics were extremely loud, they were vocal, and so

1877
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:53,000
Speaker 1: were his supporters, right, so there was like this whole

1878
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:55,679
Speaker 1: polarizing figure. It was like our president, you know, it's

1879
01:27:55,720 --> 01:27:59,479
Speaker 1: like completely polarizing, like why and and we're walking around

1882
01:28:05,920 --> 01:28:07,479
Speaker 1: What's going on? You know. And I'm like, well, honey

1886
01:28:14,560 --> 01:28:16,479
Speaker 1: in the back of the end zone. The Broncos come out.

1887
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:18,880
Speaker 1: Tim Tebow comes out and they're throwing routes and the

1888

1912
01:29:24,080 --> 01:29:27,360

1933
01:30:48,160 --> 01:30:50,880
Speaker 1: Don't look for Zay Jones in the lineup today. Yesterday,

1934
01:30:50,920 --> 01:30:53,840
Speaker 1: the Bills made a move after Jones underwent knee surgery

1935
01:30:53,880 --> 01:30:56,599
Speaker 1: in mid May. They put Zay Jones, second year wide receiver,

1936
01:30:56,720 --> 01:30:59,080
Speaker 1: on the non football injury list. He will not be

1937
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:01,800
Speaker 1: on the field when practics opens tonight. That means Jones

1938
01:31:01,840 --> 01:31:04,320
Speaker 1: has not been medically cleared to practice yet. Once he

1939
01:31:04,479 --> 01:31:07,479
Speaker 1: is medically cleared, he can participate in practice with his teammates.

1940
01:31:07,760 --> 01:31:10,600
Speaker 1: The Bills expecting Jones to take a bigger role in

1941
01:31:10,640 --> 01:31:13,200
Speaker 1: the offense after twenty seven catches, two of them for

1942
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:15,640
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year, and the Bills made a roster move

1943
01:31:15,720 --> 01:31:19,720
Speaker 1: late yesterday as well, releasing defensive tackle Tenny Palapoy. He

1944
01:31:19,920 --> 01:31:22,439
Speaker 1: was signed back in April looking the Bill look for

1945
01:31:22,600 --> 01:31:24,640
Speaker 1: the Bills look for depth on the defensive line, but

1946
01:31:25,400 --> 01:31:28,280
Speaker 1: Palapoy was let go. Now the Bills was six defensive

1947
01:31:28,280 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 1: tackles on the roster that he may look to add

1948
01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,760
Speaker 1: some numbers there. Falcons star receiver Julio Jones scheduled to

1949
01:31:33,920 --> 01:31:36,960
Speaker 1: report now to training camp in Atlanta, according to GM

1950
01:31:37,040 --> 01:31:40,000
Speaker 1: Thomas Demetrop. Team and league sources say that both sides

1951
01:31:40,040 --> 01:31:43,080
Speaker 1: were working to resolve the contract differences that had Jones

1952
01:31:43,160 --> 01:31:46,160
Speaker 1: planning to hold out a camp. But Julio Jones now

1953
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:49,000
Speaker 1: ready to return to the Atlanta Falcons. That's the word

1954
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:53,080
Speaker 1: from Falcons camp. In Seattle's safety camp, Chandler Chancellor has

1955
01:31:53,120 --> 01:31:55,599
Speaker 1: not officially retired as he recovers from a neck injury,

1956
01:31:55,800 --> 01:31:58,320
Speaker 1: but he will not be available this season. The Seahawks

1957
01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:02,320
Speaker 1: could chancel around the physical unable to perform list today

1958
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:04,600

1983
01:33:34,479 --> 01:33:37,400
Speaker 1: When they come out? Where were your eyes gonna go? Agins?

1984
01:33:38,720 --> 01:33:42,400
Speaker 1: I want to. I mean, quarterback is the natural place

1985
01:33:42,439 --> 01:33:45,000
Speaker 1: where you're gonna look um. But you know there's some

1986
01:33:45,040 --> 01:33:47,759
Speaker 1: stuff that you want to see unfolding on the offensive line.

1987
01:33:48,280 --> 01:33:50,479
Speaker 1: I want to see how Tremaine Edmunds kind of handles

1988
01:33:51,040 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: the next stage of his leadership in the defense. So

1989
01:33:54,640 --> 01:33:57,920
Speaker 1: I want to see that too. You're gonna watch quarterbacks,

1990
01:33:59,240 --> 01:34:00,920
Speaker 1: come on, I told him. I told him I was

1991
01:34:00,960 --> 01:34:02,720
Speaker 1: going to be standing right next to Josh Allen while

1992
01:34:02,720 --> 01:34:04,559
Speaker 1: he threw his first bat. I mean, see, like, who's

1993
01:34:04,600 --> 01:34:09,160
Speaker 1: this guy? He'll be looking up exactly. He is big.

1994
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:13,960
Speaker 1: That's a yeah, that is the overriding question everybody wants

1995
01:34:13,960 --> 01:34:16,240
Speaker 1: to see. But they're for guys like us, so we

1996
01:34:16,360 --> 01:34:18,760
Speaker 1: we you know, watch everything. Yeah, the offensive line is

1997
01:34:18,760 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: gonna be something. I was watching that. I was telling

1998
01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:22,000
Speaker 1: Murphing earlier in the show. I was mentioning that I

1999
01:34:22,080 --> 01:34:24,280
Speaker 1: was during the walkthrough they had, you know, they broke

2000
01:34:24,360 --> 01:34:26,360
Speaker 1: down a position groups. I was watching the d line

2001
01:34:26,439 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: right here in the railing and they got some guys. Yeah,

2002
01:34:31,720 --> 01:34:33,960
Speaker 1: they got some guys. It's gonna be really think Roy

2003
01:34:34,080 --> 01:34:37,160
Speaker 1: is a really underrated player even now. I mean, I'm right,

2004
01:34:37,560 --> 01:34:39,680
Speaker 1: I was watching the D line. D line. Sorry, yeah,

2005
01:34:39,720 --> 01:34:41,599
Speaker 1: but you're right. I see. I like Groy too. I've

2006
01:34:41,680 --> 01:34:44,760
Speaker 1: liked him ever since. It's funny, I've liked him ever

2007
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:46,400
Speaker 1: since I saw him walk out of the tunnel for

2008
01:34:46,439 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 1: the first time. I mean, guys, for guy that's three

2009
01:34:48,720 --> 01:34:52,080
Speaker 1: twenty five, he moves pretty well. I mean it's we're

2010
01:34:52,160 --> 01:34:54,360
Speaker 1: not that far removed from them using him as an

2011
01:34:54,400 --> 01:34:56,920
Speaker 1: extra tackle, right, so a couple of years ago, you know,

2012
01:34:57,080 --> 01:34:59,760
Speaker 1: and so as a center that and we don't really

2013
01:34:59,880 --> 01:35:01,920
Speaker 1: know to what degree they're gonna ask him to move

2014
01:35:02,080 --> 01:35:04,120
Speaker 1: or pull or anything like that. In Table's offense. They

2015
01:35:04,160 --> 01:35:05,800
Speaker 1: may just ask him to stand in there and drive

2016
01:35:05,840 --> 01:35:08,840
Speaker 1: it all forward. But you know, I just still think

2017
01:35:09,040 --> 01:35:12,519
Speaker 1: I was of the opinion that, you know, fans would

2018
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:14,679
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of respect for him and expect

2019
01:35:14,800 --> 01:35:17,120
Speaker 1: him to really kind of take off now that he's

2020
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,559
Speaker 1: gonna have a full time starting opportunity here in front

2021
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:22,920
Speaker 1: of him. And I just don't get the sense that

2022
01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,479
Speaker 1: there's that kind of traction. Yeah, I agree, I think

2023
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:29,479
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe they're just kind of playing the

2024
01:35:29,520 --> 01:35:32,880
Speaker 1: wait and see game a little bit, but they're not convinced.

2025
01:35:32,920 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 1: And and I'm not trying to knock bow Dine either,

2026
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:37,640
Speaker 1: because I think he's a legitimate kennidate for that job too.

2027
01:35:37,720 --> 01:35:40,519
Speaker 1: But I think whether Groy wins or loses the starting

2028
01:35:40,560 --> 01:35:42,679
Speaker 1: center job, he's probably gonna get plugged into a guard

2029
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:48,120
Speaker 1: starting guard job for those nine games, seven starts in

2030
01:35:48,160 --> 01:35:49,559
Speaker 1: a row there at the end. One of the reasons

2031
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:51,280
Speaker 1: I think the fans don't get traction because there's a

2032
01:35:51,320 --> 01:35:53,559
Speaker 1: lot of names there and they haven't even seen where

2033
01:35:53,600 --> 01:35:55,840
Speaker 1: they're gonna throw these guys out there, even us. I mean,

2034
01:35:55,960 --> 01:35:57,640
Speaker 1: it's hard to even say where they gonna, Like you,

2035
01:35:57,880 --> 01:35:59,640
Speaker 1: they're gonna have him play center, They're gonna have him

2036
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:01,719
Speaker 1: played guard, They're gonna have him have these guys pulling

2037
01:36:01,800 --> 01:36:03,479
Speaker 1: and trapping, or are they gonna have him, you know,

2038
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:05,680
Speaker 1: zone blocking, are gonna move in latterly than before? Are

2039
01:36:05,680 --> 01:36:08,280
Speaker 1: they gonna be drive blocking? So just like we don't

2040
01:36:08,280 --> 01:36:10,040
Speaker 1: know the philosophy of the offense, we don't know where

2041
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:12,519
Speaker 1: they're gonna line these guys up. But like you, you

2042
01:36:12,640 --> 01:36:15,559
Speaker 1: see Groy walk out of that you know, you see

2043
01:36:15,640 --> 01:36:18,080
Speaker 1: him walk out of the time he is and he's not.

2044
01:36:18,320 --> 01:36:21,160
Speaker 1: You know, remember Richie Incognito, We all remember how how

2045
01:36:21,200 --> 01:36:23,840
Speaker 1: he was shaped, you know, and he had that Groy

2046
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,080
Speaker 1: is not like that. Groy's thick from the top of

2047
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:27,640
Speaker 1: his head to the bottom of his feet. I mean

2048
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:30,960
Speaker 1: he's big. It's like an ice box. Yeah, He's like

2049
01:36:31,040 --> 01:36:33,200
Speaker 1: an ice box. Not the michelin man, you know. I

2050
01:36:33,240 --> 01:36:35,840
Speaker 1: mean he's just call him thick headed. No, from the

2051
01:36:35,920 --> 01:36:38,040
Speaker 1: top of his head, he's all the way down to

2052
01:36:38,080 --> 01:36:42,599
Speaker 1: the bottom of his feet is like not. Yeah, today

2053
01:36:42,960 --> 01:36:46,000
Speaker 1: he's he's he's got one of those bodies that, um,

2054
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:47,960
Speaker 1: you know, you walk out of. It's one of those

2055
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:50,080
Speaker 1: guys you want to you know. Yeah. But I mean

2056
01:36:50,120 --> 01:36:51,920
Speaker 1: you were you were talking about the d line and

2057
01:36:52,439 --> 01:36:54,320
Speaker 1: you know, guys that we're gonna be looking at here,

2058
01:36:54,320 --> 01:36:56,439
Speaker 1: at least through these first stages of camp. Are gonna

2059
01:36:56,439 --> 01:36:58,960
Speaker 1: be people coming off major injury like Trent Murphy and

2060
01:36:59,120 --> 01:37:03,479
Speaker 1: Vante Davis Corner. What's their level of reps going to be?

2061
01:37:04,120 --> 01:37:06,200
Speaker 1: You know, we already heard Lorenzo on the show here

2062
01:37:06,240 --> 01:37:08,639
Speaker 1: earlier kind of hint that Murphy's not gonna be doing

2063
01:37:08,680 --> 01:37:11,560
Speaker 1: back to back days of practice. That's fine, probably and

2064
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: most definitely we probably shouldn't expect him on the field

2065
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:18,040
Speaker 1: tomorrow morning after a night practice tonight, So you know,

2066
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:20,439
Speaker 1: it's it's that doesn't really bother me. Yeah, and I'm

2067
01:37:20,439 --> 01:37:22,639
Speaker 1: not terribly worried about it either, but I do want

2068
01:37:22,680 --> 01:37:25,799
Speaker 1: to see how they're moving, Like, is everything fine physically

2069
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:27,840
Speaker 1: where they don't have to worry about that. You know,

2070
01:37:27,960 --> 01:37:30,479
Speaker 1: he's got his motor memory all back and he's firing

2071
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:33,040
Speaker 1: off the ball. And for Vante Davis, you know, coming

2072
01:37:33,040 --> 01:37:35,599
Speaker 1: off a growing surgery, is he not tentative at all?

2073
01:37:35,640 --> 01:37:37,920
Speaker 1: Flipping his hips and things like that. So these are

2074
01:37:37,960 --> 01:37:39,400
Speaker 1: the things we got to kind of keep an eye

2075
01:37:39,439 --> 01:37:41,439
Speaker 1: on here as we go through these. Fonte Davis is

2076
01:37:41,439 --> 01:37:43,320
Speaker 1: a guy that I worry about more because those guys,

2077
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,559
Speaker 1: I mean, he's you're doing that every play He's Yeah,

2078
01:37:46,920 --> 01:37:49,080
Speaker 1: he's further along in his career, and it's hard to

2079
01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:51,000
Speaker 1: stay healthy in the end. Nobody stays healthy in the

2080
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:55,160
Speaker 1: NFL for sixteen games, and Vante started to struggle with that.

2081
01:37:55,200 --> 01:37:57,080
Speaker 1: At this stage of his career. They need him on

2082
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,639
Speaker 1: the field, and that's one of the things I really

2083
01:37:59,680 --> 01:38:03,559
Speaker 1: worry about, is how, you know, how durable. He's gonna

2084
01:38:03,560 --> 01:38:05,720
Speaker 1: be for a sixteen game season. Now. I know they're

2085
01:38:05,760 --> 01:38:07,479
Speaker 1: gonna be playing zone and stuff off and he's not

2086
01:38:07,520 --> 01:38:09,840
Speaker 1: gonna be after bumping and running and he'll he'll be

2087
01:38:09,880 --> 01:38:13,280
Speaker 1: able to break on things that defense right exactly, But

2088
01:38:13,520 --> 01:38:15,840
Speaker 1: by the same token, you know that's what you're looking at.

2089
01:38:15,880 --> 01:38:18,040
Speaker 1: You're looking at a guy who has had trouble staying

2090
01:38:18,080 --> 01:38:19,720
Speaker 1: on the field for the last couple of years, and

2091
01:38:19,800 --> 01:38:22,360
Speaker 1: they need him to do that. Let's get Chris involved

2092
01:38:22,400 --> 01:38:24,280
Speaker 1: in our Twitter Pole question of the Dame. We'll get

2093
01:38:24,320 --> 01:38:25,960
Speaker 1: back to your phone calls while Chris is with us

2094
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:28,840
Speaker 1: for the next few minutes. Chris, I'm proud of this question.

2095
01:38:29,160 --> 01:38:32,000
Speaker 1: What kind of let us know how you feel. What

2096
01:38:32,200 --> 01:38:35,240
Speaker 1: kind of challenge does head coach Sean McDermott face this season?

2097
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 1: Is it a bigger challenging last year, less of a challenge,

2098
01:38:38,800 --> 01:38:41,200
Speaker 1: more or less the same? On the Twitter Pole, seventy

2099
01:38:41,240 --> 01:38:44,080
Speaker 1: percent of respondent say McDermott has a bigger challenge this

2100
01:38:44,200 --> 01:38:45,760
Speaker 1: year than he faced a year ago. At this time,

2101
01:38:46,040 --> 01:38:49,120
Speaker 1: only nine percent say a lesser challenge. Twenty one percent

2102
01:38:49,240 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 1: say the same. And we've been arguments on both sides.

2103
01:38:52,200 --> 01:38:54,759
Speaker 1: That's why I think, yeah, fine, question can it depends

2104
01:38:54,800 --> 01:38:58,160
Speaker 1: on what your definition of challenge is. Is it pressure,

2105
01:38:59,160 --> 01:39:02,360
Speaker 1: is it task at hand? Is a task at hand

2106
01:39:03,720 --> 01:39:05,880
Speaker 1: doing your job? Yeah, I mean I think it. I

2107
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,680
Speaker 1: think it's tougher because the expectations are raised. Number one.

2108
01:39:10,479 --> 01:39:13,600
Speaker 1: I think it's also tougher because your quarterback position is

2109
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:18,000
Speaker 1: not answered and you're you have fewer answers on your

2110
01:39:18,040 --> 01:39:23,479
Speaker 1: offensive line right now today. So obviously the hope is

2111
01:39:23,479 --> 01:39:25,679
Speaker 1: you find all those answers by the time camp comes

2112
01:39:25,720 --> 01:39:27,599
Speaker 1: to a close, or at least by the time preseason

2113
01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:31,360
Speaker 1: comes to a close, And I think they're pretty confident

2114
01:39:31,400 --> 01:39:35,240
Speaker 1: they'll find those answers. But it just adds to the

2115
01:39:35,360 --> 01:39:36,920
Speaker 1: list of all you've got to do to get a

2116
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:40,720
Speaker 1: team ready to play the advantages in comparison to last year.

2117
01:39:40,800 --> 01:39:42,320
Speaker 1: I'm always kind of doing like a pro and con

2118
01:39:42,400 --> 01:39:44,120
Speaker 1: thing in my head, So just let me kind of

2119
01:39:44,400 --> 01:39:46,639
Speaker 1: make my way through this. But you know, you don't

2120
01:39:46,680 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 1: have to set the foundation every single day and every

2121
01:39:49,560 --> 01:39:51,920
Speaker 1: meeting room and everything. You know, I think we for

2122
01:39:52,040 --> 01:39:54,240
Speaker 1: those of us that got the opportunity to watch practices

2123
01:39:54,280 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 1: in the spring, the tempo of practice, the expectation of

2124
01:40:00,360 --> 01:40:02,320
Speaker 1: how much effort you're going to put into practice. The

2125
01:40:02,439 --> 01:40:05,479
Speaker 1: expectation is spending an extra twenty minutes after practice on

2126
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:08,720
Speaker 1: your craft. It was automatic in the spring. It did

2127
01:40:08,800 --> 01:40:10,400
Speaker 1: not have to be taught, it did not have to

2128
01:40:10,479 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: be preached. It's there already, It manifested itself in its

2129
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:16,560
Speaker 1: first year here. You know that whole culture thing. So

2130
01:40:16,760 --> 01:40:18,679
Speaker 1: from that standpoint, I think it's going to be easier

2131
01:40:18,720 --> 01:40:21,040
Speaker 1: for Sean to focus on other things. Assistance are not

2132
01:40:21,200 --> 01:40:23,640
Speaker 1: that right. You're right that myth plays a big role,

2133
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:25,320
Speaker 1: but there's a lot that goes into We've gone back

2134
01:40:25,360 --> 01:40:29,559
Speaker 1: and forth whether it's easier more difficult. Expectations are interesting. Um,

2135
01:40:30,080 --> 01:40:32,439
Speaker 1: they made the playoffs the one games. Well, I think

2136
01:40:32,479 --> 01:40:34,880
Speaker 1: that's what makes it harder. The expectations are raised now

2137
01:40:34,920 --> 01:40:37,320
Speaker 1: because I think everybody expects them to go from a

2138
01:40:37,400 --> 01:40:39,479
Speaker 1: nine win team to an eleven win team. Do they

2139
01:40:39,560 --> 01:40:42,920
Speaker 1: really listen, I listen, that's fun, or go at the

2140
01:40:42,960 --> 01:40:44,720
Speaker 1: very least go back to the playoffs. That's for us

2141
01:40:44,760 --> 01:40:46,160
Speaker 1: how to I don't know if I believe that, but

2142
01:40:46,240 --> 01:40:47,600
Speaker 1: that's for us out here. Though the fans are all

2143
01:40:48,120 --> 01:40:50,800
Speaker 1: the expectations are high through the roof. They're always like

2144
01:40:50,920 --> 01:40:52,640
Speaker 1: that in the locker room They're always like that in

2145
01:40:52,720 --> 01:40:57,000
Speaker 1: the coaching stuff. They know their expectations are always there.

2146
01:40:57,360 --> 01:40:59,880
Speaker 1: They always accept that challenge more quickly than the fans.

2147
01:41:00,200 --> 01:41:02,280
Speaker 1: They expect to win. And when they line up every

2148
01:41:02,320 --> 01:41:04,040
Speaker 1: week now, they're they're not gonna sit here and say, hey,

2149
01:41:04,040 --> 01:41:07,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna win sixteen games, but they're gonna win this game.

2150
01:41:07,880 --> 01:41:11,960
Speaker 1: And that's that's where their expectations always are. So I

2151
01:41:12,080 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 1: think for the players and the coaches and the guys

2152
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:20,320
Speaker 1: inside the locker room, those expectations are the same no

2153
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:22,240
Speaker 1: matter what, and no matter what they did last year,

2154
01:41:22,240 --> 01:41:23,760
Speaker 1: and I think two they've done a nice job. And

2155
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:26,040
Speaker 1: part of the culture here is that last year's a

2156
01:41:26,080 --> 01:41:29,519
Speaker 1: different team. It's a different years different this You might

2157
01:41:29,560 --> 01:41:32,040
Speaker 1: be able to make a three way argument Murph that

2158
01:41:32,080 --> 01:41:34,360
Speaker 1: it's much the same. The pressure is much the same

2159
01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,880
Speaker 1: as it was well a year ago. I'll say, I'll

2160
01:41:36,920 --> 01:41:38,920
Speaker 1: give you I'll give you another reason why it's tougher too.

2161
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,200
Speaker 1: I mean, the NFL didn't do any favors with that schedule.

2162
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,040
Speaker 1: Five of the first seven on the road. I mean,

2163
01:41:43,200 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 1: the schedule is the schedule, and you know, the coaching

2164
01:41:45,280 --> 01:41:46,960
Speaker 1: staff and the players are gonna say, we gotta play.

2165
01:41:47,040 --> 01:41:49,240
Speaker 1: We gotta play. Doesn't matter when or where, but the

2166
01:41:49,360 --> 01:41:51,240
Speaker 1: order in which you have to play them sometimes does

2167
01:41:51,320 --> 01:41:53,880
Speaker 1: play a factor. And to have five of your first

2168
01:41:53,920 --> 01:41:56,120
Speaker 1: seven on the road, that's a tough road at home, man,

2169
01:41:56,160 --> 01:41:58,559
Speaker 1: I mean that is I don't care what team you are.

2170
01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:01,200
Speaker 1: I don't care if you're an NFC defending NFC champion,

2171
01:42:01,240 --> 01:42:03,320
Speaker 1: I don't care. If you're a borderline playoff team. That

2172
01:42:03,520 --> 01:42:05,880
Speaker 1: is you can. That is tough. And this is a

2173
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:09,000
Speaker 1: team that has to make some strides in how they

2174
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:11,439
Speaker 1: perform on the road. They scored five fewer points per

2175
01:42:11,520 --> 01:42:14,960
Speaker 1: game on the road. They had half the turnover takeaways

2176
01:42:15,000 --> 01:42:17,760
Speaker 1: they had at home as opposed to the road. There

2177
01:42:17,800 --> 01:42:21,120
Speaker 1: were a lot of statistics that dropped off precipitously from

2178
01:42:21,200 --> 01:42:25,280
Speaker 1: home performance to road performance. That's got to change, and

2179
01:42:25,400 --> 01:42:27,439
Speaker 1: it's got to change right at the beginning of the season,

2180
01:42:27,479 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 1: because if it doesn't, they're gonna be looking up at

2181
01:42:29,840 --> 01:42:31,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people in their division at the

2182
01:42:31,320 --> 01:42:32,960
Speaker 1: start of the season. Get some of our listeners in

2183
01:42:33,080 --> 01:42:35,519
Speaker 1: on this. Take a few phone calls. Emmanuel on the

2184
01:42:35,600 --> 01:42:39,000
Speaker 1: line from Hawaii, Emanuel, thanks for joining us. Before you

2185
01:42:39,080 --> 01:42:40,600
Speaker 1: ask your question, let me ask you, how are you

2186
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,280
Speaker 1: listening to the show today? How do you find this?

2187
01:42:43,360 --> 01:42:45,559
Speaker 1: I just wake up early and I know what time

2188
01:42:45,640 --> 01:42:47,960
Speaker 1: y'all start, so on that works. So what I do

2189
01:42:48,280 --> 01:42:51,559
Speaker 1: is seven am, say eight am, y'all easily on the air.

2190
01:42:51,680 --> 01:42:53,800
Speaker 1: So I'll just check the Twitter and see which our

2191
01:42:53,840 --> 01:42:56,160
Speaker 1: poll is and I'm just call in and then the

2192
01:42:56,360 --> 01:43:00,320
Speaker 1: APT I got you. Okay, So you're not listening live,

2193
01:43:00,479 --> 01:43:03,080
Speaker 1: is what you're saying. I'm listening a lot because I'm

2194
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:07,200
Speaker 1: on the phone right now. Yeah, okay, I got you.

2195
01:43:07,720 --> 01:43:10,360
Speaker 1: He's just ready to weigh in on your your Twitter

2196
01:43:10,439 --> 01:43:12,280
Speaker 1: poll that you have enormous pride in today. I do

2197
01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:16,560
Speaker 1: it Sean mcdermot's challenge bigger than last year less? What

2198
01:43:16,640 --> 01:43:19,679
Speaker 1: do you think I annual? I think it's much bigger.

2199
01:43:19,760 --> 01:43:22,519
Speaker 1: I just think that because of the offense and because

2200
01:43:22,640 --> 01:43:24,880
Speaker 1: of just the inc you know, the questions we have

2201
01:43:25,040 --> 01:43:28,320
Speaker 1: at quarterback, it's just much bigger. I do. I don't

2202
01:43:28,360 --> 01:43:31,840
Speaker 1: think expectations are higher from my standpoint, I don't expect

2203
01:43:31,880 --> 01:43:34,240
Speaker 1: the builds to do much. I'm a realist in terms

2204
01:43:34,280 --> 01:43:36,840
Speaker 1: of I'm a great fan, but a reality of the

2205
01:43:36,920 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 1: situation and when you look, as Chris said, at the schedule,

2206
01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,439
Speaker 1: it just doesn't appear that they're, you know, going to

2207
01:43:42,520 --> 01:43:44,960
Speaker 1: have advantageous go of it. I mean, I wish the

2208
01:43:45,040 --> 01:43:48,280
Speaker 1: best for the Bills, and I'm out advantageous, but I

2209
01:43:48,400 --> 01:43:50,400
Speaker 1: think it's a bigger challenge. I do have a question

2210
01:43:50,520 --> 01:43:53,479
Speaker 1: for you, Johns and Chris and Steve. My question is

2211
01:43:53,680 --> 01:43:56,000
Speaker 1: yesterday when I was listening to the radio show, and

2212
01:43:56,400 --> 01:43:58,679
Speaker 1: you know, that Twitter poll is interesting and most people

2213
01:43:58,760 --> 01:44:02,320
Speaker 1: predicted that A J. McCarroll would be the quarterback, and

2214
01:44:02,520 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 1: that kind of like burns me up on inside because

2215
01:44:05,200 --> 01:44:07,639
Speaker 1: I don't get that logic. I don't get the logic

2216
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:12,120
Speaker 1: of be a starter. What is the logic behind I

2217
01:44:12,320 --> 01:44:16,519
Speaker 1: understanding a little bit more experience than Peterman, but I

2218
01:44:16,600 --> 01:44:20,720
Speaker 1: don't see any indication from me from a logical reasonal standpoint,

2219
01:44:20,760 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 1: I said, AJ McCarron has a foot above making the

2220
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:26,559
Speaker 1: Peterman and a lot of predicting to be the starter,

2221
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:29,960
Speaker 1: and it burns me out. I don't understand who's saying this. Well, Yeah,

2222
01:44:30,000 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 1: I mean that was thanks Emanuel. It's yesterday, So Christen,

2223
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,040
Speaker 1: we'll ask you this too. Yesterday. Our poll is not

2224
01:44:35,160 --> 01:44:36,920
Speaker 1: who do you predict will start an opening day? But

2225
01:44:37,040 --> 01:44:38,560
Speaker 1: who do you want to start? Yeah? I remember, I

2226
01:44:38,560 --> 01:44:40,439
Speaker 1: think it was like half of the respondent. Steve on

2227
01:44:40,520 --> 01:44:43,479
Speaker 1: Twitter anyway said they wanted Josh Allen, but many people,

2228
01:44:43,560 --> 01:44:46,160
Speaker 1: and this goes to Emmanuel's point, said, look, I figure

2229
01:44:46,200 --> 01:44:47,840
Speaker 1: it's going to be a J. McCarroll and they're just

2230
01:44:47,920 --> 01:44:50,360
Speaker 1: banking on his four years of NFL experience, I'm guessing

2231
01:44:50,439 --> 01:44:52,559
Speaker 1: more than anything else. So that's not how it came

2232
01:44:52,560 --> 01:44:56,000
Speaker 1: out yesterday. Our Twitter poll came out with everybody wanted

2233
01:44:56,120 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 1: Josh Allen to start, and only thirty percent of him

2234
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: wanted a J. McCarron to starting. There was a poll

2235
01:45:01,360 --> 01:45:03,400
Speaker 1: earlier in the day where they said who do you

2236
01:45:03,600 --> 01:45:07,120
Speaker 1: think will start? Yeah, that's that's when AJ McCarron. That

2237
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:10,080
Speaker 1: when people were predicting a J McCarron. But that's uh, yeah,

2238
01:45:10,200 --> 01:45:13,200
Speaker 1: our ours got everybody wants Josh to start because they

2239
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:16,560
Speaker 1: want him to the right. Yeah, they want him to

2240
01:45:16,600 --> 01:45:18,840
Speaker 1: win the job and be the guy and take off

2241
01:45:18,960 --> 01:45:21,400
Speaker 1: right from the word go um. But you know it's

2242
01:45:21,400 --> 01:45:23,439
Speaker 1: hard to expect that to happen. I just you know,

2243
01:45:23,560 --> 01:45:26,559
Speaker 1: I know that coach mcdermot's going to be splitting Peterman

2244
01:45:26,640 --> 01:45:28,600
Speaker 1: and McCarron with the ones and twos here in the

2245
01:45:28,680 --> 01:45:32,240
Speaker 1: early stages of camp, which you know he hasn't wavered from.

2246
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:35,160
Speaker 1: We'll see if anything changes today at his press conference,

2247
01:45:35,200 --> 01:45:39,400
Speaker 1: but I'm not anticipating it. Will Um and I I

2248
01:45:39,439 --> 01:45:42,040
Speaker 1: don't think I was alone in the opinion that Peterman

2249
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:45,760
Speaker 1: was the most consistent quarterback in the spring. I don't.

2250
01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,400
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was by a wide margin,

2251
01:45:47,479 --> 01:45:50,519
Speaker 1: but a noticeable margin. I mean, most consistent day in

2252
01:45:50,680 --> 01:45:52,920
Speaker 1: day out from OTAs to the end of any camp.

2253
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,040
Speaker 1: That's why he's here. That's what he did last year. Yeah,

2254
01:45:55,160 --> 01:45:57,720
Speaker 1: that's why he's He was the backup quarterback last year

2255
01:45:57,760 --> 01:46:01,679
Speaker 1: behind Tyrod. The guy plays consistent football. He's a great

2256
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:04,840
Speaker 1: influence on the guys around him, whether he's behind him

2257
01:46:04,880 --> 01:46:08,200
Speaker 1: or ahead of him. He brings a lot to the table.

2258
01:46:08,360 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 1: And there's no doubt. I mean, and we've seen. Listen.

2259
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:15,519
Speaker 1: If they're willing to pull Tyrod Taylor and put him

2260
01:46:15,600 --> 01:46:18,160
Speaker 1: in to get a spark or whatever they they're willing

2261
01:46:18,240 --> 01:46:20,320
Speaker 1: to do, well, they're willing to start it if he

2262
01:46:20,400 --> 01:46:22,360
Speaker 1: wins the job. I don't want to. I don't want

2263
01:46:22,360 --> 01:46:25,200
Speaker 1: to necessarily put this on him, but just in an

2264
01:46:25,240 --> 01:46:27,280
Speaker 1: effort to give fans a perspective, do you know who

2265
01:46:27,320 --> 01:46:29,680
Speaker 1: I think of when I watch Nate Peterman play, I

2266
01:46:29,840 --> 01:46:32,840
Speaker 1: think of Frank Reich. I just I don't know. There's

2267
01:46:32,840 --> 01:46:35,719
Speaker 1: some things about Nathan and the way he interacts with people,

2268
01:46:36,040 --> 01:46:38,920
Speaker 1: the way he leads, and I you know, Steve, maybe

2269
01:46:38,960 --> 01:46:41,280
Speaker 1: you can formulate a much better opinion on this after

2270
01:46:41,360 --> 01:46:43,559
Speaker 1: watching Nathan and being around these guys for a little bit,

2271
01:46:43,640 --> 01:46:45,880
Speaker 1: knowing Frank like you do. But I don't know. There's

2272
01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:49,080
Speaker 1: just something about the way he carries himself with teammates,

2273
01:46:49,160 --> 01:46:52,320
Speaker 1: the way he interacts with people, coaches, the way he

2274
01:46:52,439 --> 01:46:55,080
Speaker 1: dedicates himself to his craft. I don't know. It's just

2275
01:46:55,120 --> 01:46:57,599
Speaker 1: how about his ability to throw it? I think he's

2276
01:46:57,640 --> 01:46:59,439
Speaker 1: got an ability to throw it. He doesn't have a gun.

2277
01:47:00,000 --> 01:47:02,679
Speaker 1: I know Frank had had above average arm for sure,

2278
01:47:02,920 --> 01:47:06,320
Speaker 1: Rum teammate, you tell us, Yeah, Frank have a pretty

2279
01:47:06,360 --> 01:47:08,960
Speaker 1: decent arm. Yeah, Frank had a good arm, and so

2280
01:47:09,280 --> 01:47:11,360
Speaker 1: does Peterman. I mean, you don't get to this point

2281
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:14,400
Speaker 1: without having being able to make those throws. But um,

2282
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:17,839
Speaker 1: it's an interesting thought. I'm gonna watch. I'll watch for that, Brownie,

2283
01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:19,920
Speaker 1: see what I think. I just think it's leaderships great.

2284
01:47:20,000 --> 01:47:23,120
Speaker 1: He's certainly got that kind of demeanor were, Um, he's

2285
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:26,760
Speaker 1: a you know, he's a tremendous teammate, tremendous leader. He's

2286
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:29,800
Speaker 1: got a presence about him. He's for the guys around him,

2287
01:47:29,800 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 1: and the guys seem to play well for him. So

2288
01:47:31,479 --> 01:47:33,000
Speaker 1: here's I'll give you an example, and you tell me

2289
01:47:33,080 --> 01:47:35,160
Speaker 1: this part. Tell me if this sounds like Frank Okay,

2290
01:47:35,280 --> 01:47:37,320
Speaker 1: so I'm taught. I've talked to all three quarterbacks at

2291
01:47:37,360 --> 01:47:38,960
Speaker 1: the end of minicamp just to kind of ask him

2292
01:47:38,960 --> 01:47:42,080
Speaker 1: about the upcoming competition and everything, you know, and all

2293
01:47:42,120 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 1: of them are being diplomatic, you know, in which you

2294
01:47:44,360 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: would expect to a certain degree. But Nathan Peterman says

2295
01:47:47,680 --> 01:47:49,920
Speaker 1: to me when I asked him about the competition, he said,

2296
01:47:51,280 --> 01:47:54,639
Speaker 1: I don't view us, He said, I view us as

2297
01:47:54,760 --> 01:47:59,080
Speaker 1: competing with each other, not against each other. Yeah, and

2298
01:47:59,479 --> 01:48:01,200
Speaker 1: that sounds like a Frank Wright kind of comment, do

2299
01:48:01,200 --> 01:48:02,960
Speaker 1: you know what I mean? Like, that's true, that's a

2300
01:48:03,040 --> 01:48:05,280
Speaker 1: good point, and it makes a lot of sense. And

2301
01:48:05,280 --> 01:48:07,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what that's why. Yeah, I mean, there's

2302
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,720
Speaker 1: people listening. You can take it. There's a nugget in

2303
01:48:10,800 --> 01:48:13,920
Speaker 1: there that you can take away from football. That's you know,

2304
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:16,439
Speaker 1: you got to be with the people who you're working with.

2305
01:48:16,640 --> 01:48:19,439
Speaker 1: You know, you can't be, you know, in competition with him.

2306
01:48:19,479 --> 01:48:22,160
Speaker 1: And as much as it is like you said, they're

2307
01:48:22,200 --> 01:48:24,600
Speaker 1: they're competing to try and win a job. That's what

2308
01:48:24,680 --> 01:48:26,400
Speaker 1: they're doing. They're trying to win the job. They're not

2309
01:48:26,520 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 1: trying to beat the other guys out. They're trying to

2310
01:48:29,320 --> 01:48:31,280
Speaker 1: win the job. And we know, Frank, you know, as

2311
01:48:31,320 --> 01:48:33,559
Speaker 1: a as a person of deep faith. And I mean

2312
01:48:33,680 --> 01:48:35,600
Speaker 1: Nathan's dad was a minister. I mean, the guy was

2313
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,920
Speaker 1: practically raised in church. Uh, and he's very he's a

2314
01:48:39,000 --> 01:48:40,880
Speaker 1: very spiritual person too. I just think there's a lot

2315
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:44,680
Speaker 1: of parallels there. And yeah, you know, I look at

2316
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:46,920
Speaker 1: Nathan Peterman and do I do I see a twelve

2317
01:48:47,000 --> 01:48:50,240
Speaker 1: year starter in the NFL. I don't know, but I

2318
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 1: can see him being in the NFL for twelve years. Yeah,

2319
01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:56,680
Speaker 1: I just like Frank. Was Chris ron about quarterbacks on

2320
01:48:56,760 --> 01:48:59,360
Speaker 1: our website, Buffalo bills dot com. Bills insider Chris Brown

2321
01:48:59,520 --> 01:49:02,120
Speaker 1: is with us number one county camp countdown to do

2322
01:49:02,240 --> 01:49:06,599
Speaker 1: thirty camp countdown number one, it's the obvious one. Who

2323
01:49:06,640 --> 01:49:08,799
Speaker 1: will be the starting quarterback? And what did you conclude?

2324
01:49:08,880 --> 01:49:11,480
Speaker 1: Did you answer that question? Well, I kind of provided

2325
01:49:11,560 --> 01:49:14,040
Speaker 1: certain things that seem to count in the book of

2326
01:49:14,600 --> 01:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott. Experience counts because and the most telling comment

2327
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:25,000
Speaker 1: he made with respect to experience is recognizing defenses. Sean

2328
01:49:25,080 --> 01:49:28,679
Speaker 1: said that, and he said he believes that it's something

2329
01:49:28,760 --> 01:49:32,280
Speaker 1: that's very often overlooked. And what that said to me was,

2330
01:49:33,080 --> 01:49:36,320
Speaker 1: it's not just about what kind of talent you're bringing

2331
01:49:36,400 --> 01:49:38,240
Speaker 1: to the position. If you don't know how to read

2332
01:49:38,280 --> 01:49:40,360
Speaker 1: a defense, he's not going to feel comfortable putting you

2333
01:49:40,400 --> 01:49:42,840
Speaker 1: out there. And I think we can all agree that

2334
01:49:42,920 --> 01:49:44,680
Speaker 1: the defense is from the college level to the pro

2335
01:49:44,840 --> 01:49:51,600
Speaker 1: level take a noticeable step up in complexity, difficulty to predict, disguising,

2336
01:49:51,840 --> 01:49:54,400
Speaker 1: all of those things, speed of the defense. People get

2337
01:49:54,439 --> 01:49:57,519
Speaker 1: into places um safeties that can cover half the field

2338
01:49:57,680 --> 01:50:00,639
Speaker 1: without a problem. You know, these kinds of things where

2339
01:50:00,680 --> 01:50:03,040
Speaker 1: you think there's a window, and oh boy, there isn't

2340
01:50:03,120 --> 01:50:05,280
Speaker 1: because that safety can run a four four. One of

2341
01:50:05,320 --> 01:50:07,160
Speaker 1: the things that's happening now in the NFL, and you've

2342
01:50:07,160 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 1: seen it coming out of the writings from other teams

2343
01:50:09,040 --> 01:50:13,040
Speaker 1: and everything. They'll and what happened with Lau. We talked

2344
01:50:13,080 --> 01:50:15,120
Speaker 1: to Vincent bonson you or yesterday. One of the things

2345
01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:18,640
Speaker 1: that La did and other teams have done. Patriots have

2346
01:50:18,680 --> 01:50:21,840
Speaker 1: done it. The play clock and the radio system. You

2347
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:23,880
Speaker 1: got to get it up to the line before fifteen seconds.

2348
01:50:23,920 --> 01:50:26,479
Speaker 1: That's why teams have picked up their pace offensively, because

2349
01:50:26,840 --> 01:50:29,519
Speaker 1: the radio shuts off after fifteen seconds, so they've got

2350
01:50:29,640 --> 01:50:31,280
Speaker 1: if they can get their play call and get up

2351
01:50:31,320 --> 01:50:33,439
Speaker 1: to the line of scrimmage and get lined up. Not

2352
01:50:33,640 --> 01:50:35,559
Speaker 1: just the quarterback can look at it, but even while

2353
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:39,040
Speaker 1: you're live on the on the field, the voice of

2354
01:50:39,160 --> 01:50:41,360
Speaker 1: the code, the coach's eyes can say, hey, look they're

2355
01:50:41,400 --> 01:50:43,800
Speaker 1: in it. There looks like a cover two seat, you know,

2356
01:50:43,880 --> 01:50:46,160
Speaker 1: thirty four over here, say He'll start describing what you're

2357
01:50:46,160 --> 01:50:48,920
Speaker 1: looking at. It's just like a film session live and

2358
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,360
Speaker 1: you can do some things like that. So I'm I

2359
01:50:51,479 --> 01:50:55,439
Speaker 1: would be surprised if the Bills aren't talking about doing

2360
01:50:55,479 --> 01:50:58,200
Speaker 1: that exact thing, not only not only with a J. Mccarren,

2361
01:50:58,280 --> 01:51:01,439
Speaker 1: but with Josh Allen and with Nathan Peterman. They should

2362
01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:03,719
Speaker 1: they should be doing that with every quarterback on their roster.

2363
01:51:03,880 --> 01:51:06,120
Speaker 1: Marked On from the Buffalo News asked Sean McDermott that

2364
01:51:06,240 --> 01:51:08,240
Speaker 1: very question, and he did not get a direct answer.

2365
01:51:08,280 --> 01:51:10,920
Speaker 1: So it's gonna that's where you've written about it, and

2366
01:51:10,960 --> 01:51:13,400
Speaker 1: we've talked about day All has a pace in mind. Yeah,

2367
01:51:13,479 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: and he wants to go fast pace, maybe get him

2368
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:16,800
Speaker 1: up to the line scrimmage quickly. And I think it's

2369
01:51:16,800 --> 01:51:19,479
Speaker 1: specifically for that reason. Yeah, And I don't know, it'll

2370
01:51:19,479 --> 01:51:22,559
Speaker 1: be interesting to see because tempo could be a bunch

2371
01:51:22,600 --> 01:51:25,559
Speaker 1: of things. It could be it could mean tempo variation, yeah,

2372
01:51:25,600 --> 01:51:27,240
Speaker 1: where they step on the gas and then they're off

2373
01:51:27,280 --> 01:51:29,640
Speaker 1: of it, I think. Or it could be let's go

2374
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,280
Speaker 1: the whole time that way. It could be situational. Yeah,

2375
01:51:32,280 --> 01:51:34,240
Speaker 1: it could be weak to week changing, you know, based

2376
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:36,439
Speaker 1: on the opponent they've got. So well, what's happens is

2377
01:51:36,760 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's easy to see what happens. You get

2378
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,000
Speaker 1: your guys on the field and they match up or

2379
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:42,920
Speaker 1: they don't match up, or you gonna you get the

2380
01:51:43,040 --> 01:51:45,439
Speaker 1: matchup you want, you go hurry up so they can't

2381
01:51:45,760 --> 01:51:47,679
Speaker 1: pull guys and make a switch, so you can exploit

2382
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:49,360
Speaker 1: that all the way down the field before they can

2383
01:51:49,439 --> 01:51:51,160
Speaker 1: make it, or force them to make a time out.

2384
01:51:51,479 --> 01:51:53,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, all of that stuff's on the table and

2385
01:51:53,400 --> 01:51:56,120
Speaker 1: it'll it'll continue to be. But I think that's something

2386
01:51:56,240 --> 01:52:00,920
Speaker 1: that really helps to accelerate the ability of a quarterback

2387
01:52:01,000 --> 01:52:03,160
Speaker 1: to get ahead of the game mentally, because if you've

2388
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:06,760
Speaker 1: got that voice in your head, just like it's like

2389
01:52:06,880 --> 01:52:09,280
Speaker 1: being able to put your headphones on and sing along

2390
01:52:09,320 --> 01:52:11,240
Speaker 1: to the music when the music's playing in your head.

2391
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:14,360
Speaker 1: You know, that's exactly what it's like. You can sing

2392
01:52:14,479 --> 01:52:16,720
Speaker 1: that thing like a champ when the when you know when,

2393
01:52:17,080 --> 01:52:19,160
Speaker 1: when whatever group you're listening to is on there. But

2394
01:52:19,200 --> 01:52:21,759
Speaker 1: when you're by yourself, it's not so easy. That's exactly

2395
01:52:21,840 --> 01:52:24,120
Speaker 1: what it's like. Get getting back to the to the

2396
01:52:24,160 --> 01:52:26,120
Speaker 1: whole right up on Buffalo bills dot com. You know,

2397
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:28,880
Speaker 1: experience is going to count in coach mcdermot's mind, so

2398
01:52:28,920 --> 01:52:31,360
Speaker 1: you'd say, okay, that should help a j McCarron who's

2399
01:52:31,360 --> 01:52:34,559
Speaker 1: probably seen every NFL defense he's gonna see. Peterman's got

2400
01:52:34,600 --> 01:52:36,280
Speaker 1: a year of experience, but really not a ton of

2401
01:52:36,360 --> 01:52:38,639
Speaker 1: time on the field. You know, when Josh is coming

2402
01:52:38,680 --> 01:52:40,960
Speaker 1: in wet behind the ears, and then you go to

2403
01:52:41,120 --> 01:52:44,160
Speaker 1: you move ahead to leadership, which I think counts huge,

2404
01:52:44,760 --> 01:52:47,479
Speaker 1: especially at that position. But in mcdermot's book, all over

2405
01:52:47,560 --> 01:52:51,040
Speaker 1: the field, he wants guys with leadership qualities, you know,

2406
01:52:51,120 --> 01:52:53,040
Speaker 1: and at that position you have to have it. Just

2407
01:52:53,200 --> 01:52:56,000
Speaker 1: observing those guys in the spring, I was very impressed

2408
01:52:56,000 --> 01:52:59,280
Speaker 1: with how Josh hand Josh Allen deals with people. I

2409
01:52:59,360 --> 01:53:02,720
Speaker 1: like way you hands. Yeah, I mean he is. It

2410
01:53:03,360 --> 01:53:06,600
Speaker 1: comes very naturally to him. And the thing that that

2411
01:53:06,720 --> 01:53:09,080
Speaker 1: didn't surprise me, or that surprised me a little bit

2412
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:11,719
Speaker 1: was the fact that in talking to some of his teammates,

2413
01:53:12,160 --> 01:53:15,160
Speaker 1: they're like, he's pretty funny. Like he's a funny guy.

2414
01:53:16,400 --> 01:53:19,000
Speaker 1: You know, once he's loose and feels comfortable in the

2415
01:53:19,040 --> 01:53:22,000
Speaker 1: setting that he's in, which may still be unfolding here.

2416
01:53:22,040 --> 01:53:23,920
Speaker 1: You know, he's only spent the better part of four

2417
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:26,880
Speaker 1: or five weeks with these guys every day, but you know,

2418
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,160
Speaker 1: there's this constant feedback that he's very comfortable in his

2419
01:53:30,240 --> 01:53:33,920
Speaker 1: own skin as a leader. I thought Ray Ray McLeod

2420
01:53:34,000 --> 01:53:35,559
Speaker 1: gave me a great comment when I talked to him

2421
01:53:35,560 --> 01:53:38,160
Speaker 1: in the spring. He said, he's the kind of guy

2422
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,479
Speaker 1: that lifts you up. That was very telling comment to me,

2423
01:53:41,840 --> 01:53:44,560
Speaker 1: especially rookie to rookie. Okay, maybe you expect that to

2424
01:53:44,600 --> 01:53:46,960
Speaker 1: a certain degree, but that's that's not something you often here.

2425
01:53:47,200 --> 01:53:49,320
Speaker 1: Right away. Because those two guys met back at the

2426
01:53:49,400 --> 01:53:52,280
Speaker 1: combine in February, he goes to tell you the truth,

2427
01:53:52,280 --> 01:53:54,559
Speaker 1: it was a very serious time. You know, we're getting

2428
01:53:54,560 --> 01:53:56,479
Speaker 1: ready for interviews in the evening and we're both waiting

2429
01:53:56,520 --> 01:53:58,680
Speaker 1: there in line and he's talking to me and he's

2430
01:53:58,920 --> 01:54:01,240
Speaker 1: he's cracking jokes with me, trying to keep me loose.

2431
01:54:01,280 --> 01:54:02,640
Speaker 1: He goes, he didn't know me from Adam, but I

2432
01:54:02,720 --> 01:54:04,519
Speaker 1: just met him, like for thirty seconds, and he's you know,

2433
01:54:04,560 --> 01:54:06,080
Speaker 1: he's got me loose. You know, he's helping me out.

2434
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:08,080
Speaker 1: I got one more quarterback question for you. It goes

2435
01:54:08,120 --> 01:54:10,280
Speaker 1: to McCarron. We had a caller yesterday, Chris, who brought

2436
01:54:10,360 --> 01:54:12,760
Speaker 1: up something that I had not thought of. I don't

2437
01:54:12,800 --> 01:54:14,920
Speaker 1: know how much to put into it, but AJ McCarron

2438
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:17,720
Speaker 1: for four years has been in a quarterback meeting room

2439
01:54:18,000 --> 01:54:21,519
Speaker 1: two times a year studying the Baltimore Ravens defense. Does

2440
01:54:21,560 --> 01:54:23,479
Speaker 1: that give him a leg up when it comes to

2441
01:54:23,560 --> 01:54:26,240
Speaker 1: who starts September ninth? I mean he will know what

2442
01:54:26,360 --> 01:54:30,040
Speaker 1: Baltimore's defense look like. Nothing. I mean, he'll have an

2443
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:33,040
Speaker 1: upper hand. But I don't. I guess. I guess that

2444
01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:37,160
Speaker 1: could come into play. If it's a virtual dead here,

2445
01:54:37,160 --> 01:54:39,560
Speaker 1: if it's close, if it's a virtual dead heat, then yes,

2446
01:54:39,680 --> 01:54:41,920
Speaker 1: I think that that could come into play because you're

2447
01:54:41,920 --> 01:54:43,400
Speaker 1: trying to win a football game on the road at

2448
01:54:43,440 --> 01:54:44,840
Speaker 1: the beginning of the year, and why not. I mean,

2449
01:54:45,080 --> 01:54:46,560
Speaker 1: go with the guy that gives you the best chance

2450
01:54:46,600 --> 01:54:49,040
Speaker 1: to win. If you think his familiarity with that defense

2451
01:54:49,760 --> 01:54:51,680
Speaker 1: is going to help him win you a football game,

2452
01:54:51,720 --> 01:54:53,240
Speaker 1: well then put him on the field. I mean, who's

2453
01:54:53,240 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 1: gonna argue with that. Here's the thing too, Any knowledge

2454
01:54:55,480 --> 01:54:58,000
Speaker 1: he has and they're gonna be they're gonna find out

2455
01:54:58,040 --> 01:54:59,520
Speaker 1: what it is. And even if he's a backup to

2456
01:54:59,600 --> 01:55:02,680
Speaker 1: Josh under Nathan Peterman, given the same, tell somebody and

2457
01:55:02,720 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 1: he's gonna be telling them. He's gonna be helping them

2458
01:55:04,480 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 1: as well. Now they haven't experienced it. But I don't

2459
01:55:07,000 --> 01:55:09,080
Speaker 1: know how much. I can't remember who he played as

2460
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:10,720
Speaker 1: a quarterback for those four games he was in. I

2461
01:55:10,720 --> 01:55:14,200
Speaker 1: don't Baltimore was probably one of them. But anything he

2462
01:55:14,280 --> 01:55:16,880
Speaker 1: can tell and help with as a team, and he's

2463
01:55:16,920 --> 01:55:19,600
Speaker 1: gonna give to the quarterback who's actually playing if it's

2464
01:55:19,640 --> 01:55:21,720
Speaker 1: not him, Let's work one more calling while Chris Brown

2465
01:55:21,880 --> 01:55:24,600
Speaker 1: sits with us here today, Rodney and then Golden New York. Hello, Rodney,

2466
01:55:24,600 --> 01:55:26,640
Speaker 1: go ahead, you're on the air with us. Hey, gentlemen,

2467
01:55:26,680 --> 01:55:32,160
Speaker 1: how you guys doing okay? Well, listen, Um, I can't

2468
01:55:32,200 --> 01:55:36,160
Speaker 1: believe that how the Pocoulahs finally you know, the landed

2469
01:55:36,240 --> 01:55:39,640
Speaker 1: being and McDermott and how things are finally taken off

2470
01:55:39,680 --> 01:55:42,600
Speaker 1: in the right direction and God best less the peculas.

2471
01:55:42,640 --> 01:55:47,040
Speaker 1: But I was just wondering, Um, Khalil Mack sitting out

2472
01:55:47,080 --> 01:55:52,000
Speaker 1: there in Oakland and Gruden saving trouble signing them. He

2473
01:55:52,040 --> 01:55:55,840
Speaker 1: ain't talking to him, you think. I think personally that

2474
01:55:56,040 --> 01:56:00,400
Speaker 1: Khalil max Heart was always in Buffalo and he wanted

2475
01:56:00,440 --> 01:56:03,680
Speaker 1: to be drafted, but and Whalley made that stupid trade

2476
01:56:03,720 --> 01:56:06,480
Speaker 1: for Lockins was turned up to bust. Is there any

2477
01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:11,320
Speaker 1: possibility the Bills pity to sway a trade you're in camp,

2478
01:56:11,400 --> 01:56:15,000
Speaker 1: maybe to grab him or next sure he becomes a

2479
01:56:15,080 --> 01:56:17,840
Speaker 1: free agent, I believe. And do you think he would

2480
01:56:17,880 --> 01:56:21,080
Speaker 1: just uh, those would just make a move and grabbed

2481
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:23,760
Speaker 1: this kid and look at the linebacking who we would

2482
01:56:23,800 --> 01:56:26,160
Speaker 1: have a mac to be here next year. I'll let

2483
01:56:26,200 --> 01:56:28,760
Speaker 1: you guys answer my question. To talk about it. Yeah,

2484
01:56:29,840 --> 01:56:33,560
Speaker 1: it's it's not gonna happen. There's absolutely no way the

2485
01:56:34,040 --> 01:56:35,960
Speaker 1: the oplan Raiders is gonna let Khalil Mack get out

2486
01:56:36,000 --> 01:56:39,480
Speaker 1: the door for anything. That's just not going to happen.

2487
01:56:40,120 --> 01:56:43,360
Speaker 1: Definitely not. I would say it's highly unlikely this year.

2488
01:56:43,440 --> 01:56:48,800
Speaker 1: Now if this, if this, you know, um impass that

2489
01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: they're at, you know, rolls into the season, maybe skips

2490
01:56:51,720 --> 01:56:54,880
Speaker 1: a couple of games, he's fed up with them, they're

2491
01:56:54,920 --> 01:56:57,560
Speaker 1: fed up with him. Well, you know, we get around

2492
01:56:57,600 --> 01:57:00,400
Speaker 1: to next offseason, what happens. They probably franchise him and

2493
01:57:00,440 --> 01:57:02,960
Speaker 1: then you know, could you set up a sign and trade.

2494
01:57:03,040 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 1: I suppose that's possible. The good news for the Bills

2495
01:57:05,920 --> 01:57:08,720
Speaker 1: is they're gonna have an enormous amount of cap room

2496
01:57:08,760 --> 01:57:11,840
Speaker 1: with which to work next offseason. So I don't think

2497
01:57:12,120 --> 01:57:16,840
Speaker 1: you can completely write off anything next off season because

2498
01:57:17,040 --> 01:57:19,280
Speaker 1: they'll have a lot of money with which to work

2499
01:57:19,920 --> 01:57:23,000
Speaker 1: and maybe sign a prized player if they feel it's

2500
01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:25,000
Speaker 1: it's a guy that's going to put them over the hump,

2501
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:26,800
Speaker 1: and Khalil Mack is a put you over the hump

2502
01:57:26,880 --> 01:57:29,200
Speaker 1: kind of player. Yeah. I mean, it's probably one of

2503
01:57:29,240 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 1: the three best pass rushers in the league right now.

2504
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:34,040
Speaker 1: If you could get a deal like that done, absolutely,

2505
01:57:34,120 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 1: I mean he's gonna be worth whatever you're gonna give up.

2506
01:57:36,000 --> 01:57:38,040
Speaker 1: To get him. He's gonna be a franchise pass rusher,

2507
01:57:38,080 --> 01:57:40,080
Speaker 1: and he's he's gonna make a difference on any defense

2508
01:57:40,120 --> 01:57:42,200
Speaker 1: he makes it to him. And you're right, the Bills

2509
01:57:42,240 --> 01:57:47,240
Speaker 1: do have cap room next year. But unless he holds

2510
01:57:47,280 --> 01:57:50,240
Speaker 1: out for a significant portion of this season and makes

2511
01:57:50,280 --> 01:57:52,240
Speaker 1: it clear he never wants to play for the Oakland

2512
01:57:52,280 --> 01:57:56,320
Speaker 1: Raiders again, he's not gonna go anywhere. Now. The Raiders

2513
01:57:56,400 --> 01:57:59,640
Speaker 1: could then sign him, could then trade him with whatever's

2514
01:57:59,800 --> 01:58:01,440
Speaker 1: up to his contract during the season or whatever, but

2515
01:58:01,480 --> 01:58:03,240
Speaker 1: it's going to take a point where he's gonna have

2516
01:58:03,320 --> 01:58:05,760
Speaker 1: to convince the Raiders he's not gonna come back in Yeah,

2517
01:58:05,760 --> 01:58:09,280
Speaker 1: I don't know that he's William And to address the caller,

2518
01:58:09,360 --> 01:58:11,520
Speaker 1: I don't know how much his heart is in Buffalo.

2519
01:58:11,680 --> 01:58:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean he certainly he certainly made him made a

2520
01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:16,800
Speaker 1: national name for himself in Buffalo. I don't think there's

2521
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:18,840
Speaker 1: any debating that that's where he kind of burst onto

2522
01:58:18,880 --> 01:58:21,880
Speaker 1: the national scene. I know he appreciates his alma mater

2523
01:58:22,000 --> 01:58:23,840
Speaker 1: to a certain degree. Even though he wasn't thrilled that

2524
01:58:23,880 --> 01:58:26,120
Speaker 1: he wouldn't be he didn't recruit his brother, he wouldn't

2525
01:58:26,120 --> 01:58:27,920
Speaker 1: be averse to come in here. And playing no question

2526
01:58:27,960 --> 01:58:30,600
Speaker 1: about he wouldn't care about coming above. He'd be one

2527
01:58:30,640 --> 01:58:33,520
Speaker 1: of the top free agents who would who could honestly say, yeah,

2528
01:58:33,520 --> 01:58:36,440
Speaker 1: I got no problem playing ago. So there's that. But

2529
01:58:36,680 --> 01:58:38,480
Speaker 1: I think that's about as heart far as the heart.

2530
01:58:38,680 --> 01:58:41,240
Speaker 1: He'd be a draw. I mean, he'd be a gate draw,

2531
01:58:41,360 --> 01:58:44,120
Speaker 1: big time, a difference maker. Chris Brown's with US Bills

2532
01:58:44,160 --> 01:58:46,480
Speaker 1: inside of Buffalo bills dot Com. The rest of today,

2533
01:58:46,560 --> 01:58:48,160
Speaker 1: this first day, four o'clock, about an hour and a

2534
01:58:48,160 --> 01:58:52,040
Speaker 1: half away Sean McDermott Brandon Bean news conferences. How much

2535
01:58:52,080 --> 01:58:55,200
Speaker 1: of that will you think be focused on Sean McCoy

2536
01:58:55,280 --> 01:58:58,000
Speaker 1: and his status. Well, there'll be a line of questioning

2537
01:58:58,080 --> 01:59:00,080
Speaker 1: from the media. Yea. I don't. Well, I mean, and

2538
01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:03,040
Speaker 1: I think I think it's a very easy answer, quite frankly,

2539
01:59:03,160 --> 01:59:07,920
Speaker 1: that the answer is the investigations not complete. No charges

2540
01:59:07,960 --> 01:59:10,720
Speaker 1: have been filed. I mean, it's like we said on

2541
01:59:10,760 --> 01:59:13,160
Speaker 1: the show the other day, Uh murph, you know, innocent

2542
01:59:13,240 --> 01:59:16,440
Speaker 1: until proven guilty. I mean, you know, there are no charges.

2543
01:59:16,440 --> 01:59:19,040
Speaker 1: All we have right now are allegations. And while the

2544
01:59:19,080 --> 01:59:21,800
Speaker 1: allegations are certainly serious in nature, and we don't want to,

2545
01:59:22,400 --> 01:59:25,400
Speaker 1: you know, minimize that. I think at the same time,

2546
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:29,720
Speaker 1: you have to say there's no action that you can

2547
01:59:29,840 --> 01:59:32,720
Speaker 1: take right now, even at a league level, because there

2548
01:59:32,760 --> 01:59:36,880
Speaker 1: are no charges, and so until you get there, it's

2549
01:59:36,960 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 1: business as usual because you don't have a roadmap right now.

2550
01:59:40,520 --> 01:59:43,640
Speaker 1: Without charges, you don't have a roadmap. Um. We mentioned

2551
01:59:43,680 --> 01:59:45,280
Speaker 1: when you first came on here today, we asked you

2552
01:59:45,320 --> 01:59:47,400
Speaker 1: where your eyes are going to go? But um, you

2553
01:59:47,520 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 1: mentioned offensive line. I get that. What else are you

2554
01:59:49,440 --> 01:59:51,440
Speaker 1: going to look at in these early practices? Well, I

2555
01:59:51,680 --> 01:59:54,560
Speaker 1: was saying, I want to see how Vante Davis is moving. Um,

2556
01:59:54,680 --> 01:59:56,680
Speaker 1: I want to see how Trent Murphy is moving. These

2557
01:59:56,760 --> 02:00:00,879
Speaker 1: guys coming off, you know, long term injuries. I understand

2558
02:00:00,920 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 1: why they paced them in the spring. There was no

2559
02:00:02,640 --> 02:00:05,200
Speaker 1: urgency there, but we're getting closer to the time where

2560
02:00:05,240 --> 02:00:07,040
Speaker 1: the urgency has to come. And you need to know

2561
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:09,280
Speaker 1: that Vonte Davis can be one of your top two

2562
02:00:09,320 --> 02:00:12,840
Speaker 1: cornerbacks and you're starting eleven on defense. So is he

2563
02:00:13,000 --> 02:00:16,320
Speaker 1: trending in the right direction? I guess is the question there.

2564
02:00:16,640 --> 02:00:18,400
Speaker 1: I know you're still not in pads yet, you won't

2565
02:00:18,400 --> 02:00:21,680
Speaker 1: be till Saturday. And then you know, you look at

2566
02:00:22,040 --> 02:00:25,320
Speaker 1: Trent Murphy, how is he looking and is he allowed

2567
02:00:25,360 --> 02:00:27,280
Speaker 1: to play full go or is he still have a

2568
02:00:27,320 --> 02:00:29,640
Speaker 1: red jersey on as he limited those kinds of things.

2569
02:00:29,680 --> 02:00:31,520
Speaker 1: And I also want to ask coach. You know, we

2570
02:00:31,640 --> 02:00:35,360
Speaker 1: know Zay Jones is on active NFI, which means anytime

2571
02:00:35,440 --> 02:00:38,040
Speaker 1: the medical staff clears him, he's back on the practice field.

2572
02:00:38,360 --> 02:00:41,480
Speaker 1: Is there any sense of a timetable from coach that

2573
02:00:41,560 --> 02:00:44,200
Speaker 1: he can provide? Are we talking three days? Are we

2574
02:00:44,320 --> 02:00:48,200
Speaker 1: talking two weeks? Are we talking into the preseason? Answer? Well,

2575
02:00:48,280 --> 02:00:50,680
Speaker 1: you gotta, I gotta do my job right, we gotta try.

2576
02:00:50,880 --> 02:00:53,080
Speaker 1: Don't expect an answer there. I think that's interesting to

2577
02:00:53,200 --> 02:00:55,280
Speaker 1: Trim Murphy and Vontae Davis. Those are two guys that

2578
02:00:55,400 --> 02:00:59,920
Speaker 1: really are the lynch pins of the of the revamped

2579
02:01:00,080 --> 02:01:02,320
Speaker 1: front seven on defense, and Vante's obviously a corner, but

2580
02:01:02,440 --> 02:01:05,320
Speaker 1: he's replacing EJ. Gaines. They had a great year from

2581
02:01:05,360 --> 02:01:07,720
Speaker 1: the secondary last year and Vonte Davis got that hole

2582
02:01:07,800 --> 02:01:10,840
Speaker 1: to fill. And Trent Murphy was brought in with some

2583
02:01:11,000 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: high expectations. I know he's coming off an injury, but

2584
02:01:13,080 --> 02:01:16,320
Speaker 1: we've seen other guys come back and just go those

2585
02:01:16,440 --> 02:01:19,800
Speaker 1: two guys, if they don't play well, your depth is

2586
02:01:19,840 --> 02:01:22,320
Speaker 1: in trouble. Yeah, all of a sudden you're free agency,

2587
02:01:22,360 --> 02:01:25,040
Speaker 1: and the upgraded defense doesn't look all that upgrade. It

2588
02:01:25,120 --> 02:01:27,040
Speaker 1: doesn't look it looks a lot like it did last year.

2589
02:01:27,080 --> 02:01:30,080
Speaker 1: I do also want to see John Miller and Shaq Lawson,

2590
02:01:30,160 --> 02:01:34,960
Speaker 1: two guys that are on redemption missions this year. Very

2591
02:01:35,040 --> 02:01:36,880
Speaker 1: encouraged by what we saw from them in the spring.

2592
02:01:37,320 --> 02:01:40,040
Speaker 1: Shaq committed to coming back in here in even better shape.

2593
02:01:40,080 --> 02:01:42,040
Speaker 1: He said he wanted to be two sixty when he

2594
02:01:42,160 --> 02:01:44,640
Speaker 1: came in and get his body fat down to seven

2595
02:01:44,880 --> 02:01:48,240
Speaker 1: to fifteen percent it was at seventeen. And John Miller

2596
02:01:48,240 --> 02:01:50,960
Speaker 1: wanted to get down to nineteen from twenty three, which

2597
02:01:51,040 --> 02:01:53,480
Speaker 1: is already very good for an offensive lineman. So I

2598
02:01:53,520 --> 02:01:55,280
Speaker 1: want to see if those guys looked fit as a

2599
02:01:55,320 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: fiddle too, because those guys were working hard. You know,

2600
02:01:59,160 --> 02:02:03,160
Speaker 1: Miller was down Morito's place in Miami, and uh Shack

2601
02:02:03,240 --> 02:02:06,000
Speaker 1: Lawson was working with former NFL defensive end Chuck Smith

2602
02:02:06,040 --> 02:02:08,280
Speaker 1: at his academy down in Atlanta. So I want to

2603
02:02:08,320 --> 02:02:10,880
Speaker 1: see if those guys are are true to their word

2604
02:02:10,960 --> 02:02:13,560
Speaker 1: and that they came in ready for action. Chris, we

2605
02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:15,320
Speaker 1: got all these great Bills fans who will not be

2606
02:02:15,360 --> 02:02:17,200
Speaker 1: able to make it to camp today or at all.

2607
02:02:17,280 --> 02:02:19,240
Speaker 1: Maybe in the next three weeks. What can they get

2608
02:02:19,320 --> 02:02:21,440
Speaker 1: from Buffalo bills dot com. What will what will the

2609
02:02:21,480 --> 02:02:23,560
Speaker 1: website look like? What kind of daily coverage we have

2610
02:02:23,720 --> 02:02:26,800
Speaker 1: of Yeah, well, Bills Today is back on its daily

2611
02:02:26,920 --> 02:02:29,400
Speaker 1: rotation now that the camp is opening, So we were

2612
02:02:29,440 --> 02:02:31,960
Speaker 1: on a little bit of a hiatus there in the summer,

2613
02:02:32,360 --> 02:02:35,640
Speaker 1: but that's back rolling every day every morning, kind of

2614
02:02:35,680 --> 02:02:39,440
Speaker 1: like your morning coffee reading. And then after every practice

2615
02:02:39,520 --> 02:02:41,920
Speaker 1: we'll have three things to know from day one a

2616
02:02:42,000 --> 02:02:45,360
Speaker 1: training camp, So after practice tonight we'll have that pretty

2617
02:02:45,400 --> 02:02:48,120
Speaker 1: much after every press conference, if there are notable news

2618
02:02:48,160 --> 02:02:50,880
Speaker 1: and notes from coach McDermott, we'll provide those and get

2619
02:02:50,920 --> 02:02:53,440
Speaker 1: them up on the website as soon as possible, sometimes

2620
02:02:53,480 --> 02:02:56,560
Speaker 1: even before practice begins if there's enough of a lag

2621
02:02:56,680 --> 02:02:59,680
Speaker 1: time there. So we're trying to stay on top of it,

2622
02:02:59,760 --> 02:03:01,440
Speaker 1: and you know, on the video side, we kind of

2623
02:03:01,520 --> 02:03:04,240
Speaker 1: cover it. We're covering things in a different way now.

2624
02:03:04,320 --> 02:03:08,080
Speaker 1: We're kind of doing the drive through window kind of

2625
02:03:08,400 --> 02:03:11,080
Speaker 1: approach on the video side where we'll just kind of

2626
02:03:11,080 --> 02:03:14,520
Speaker 1: give you a one minute synopsis of everything you probably

2627
02:03:14,680 --> 02:03:18,200
Speaker 1: want to see and needed to see from the practice

2628
02:03:18,240 --> 02:03:20,200
Speaker 1: field each and every day in our video department does

2629
02:03:20,240 --> 02:03:21,920
Speaker 1: a good job of putting that together and turning it

2630
02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:24,680
Speaker 1: around pretty quick. So if you're not out here at camp,

2631
02:03:25,040 --> 02:03:28,400
Speaker 1: you at least have access to see who's performing, who's

2632
02:03:28,440 --> 02:03:30,680
Speaker 1: doing well, and we'll sprinkle in some news and notes

2633
02:03:30,720 --> 02:03:33,520
Speaker 1: in those videos. Should log into Buffalo Bills dot com.

2634
02:03:33,600 --> 02:03:35,760
Speaker 1: What's six or eight times a day? Then keep up well,

2635
02:03:35,760 --> 02:03:38,360
Speaker 1: I mean, you know thinks we know how things can

2664
02:05:03,080 --> 02:05:07,920
Speaker 1: from you your thoughts on the Bills and the pressure.

2665
02:05:08,040 --> 02:05:09,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to say pressure. I don't kind of

2666
02:05:09,800 --> 02:05:12,360
Speaker 1: challenges it, kind of challenges it because pressure, Chris has

2667
02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:14,680
Speaker 1: Are we talking about pressure? No, I'm not talking about pressure.

2668
02:05:14,800 --> 02:05:19,960
Speaker 1: I'm talking about job at hand. Yeah, basically is Sean

2669
02:05:20,040 --> 02:05:22,400
Speaker 1: mcdermot's job harder now this year than it was a

2670
02:05:22,480 --> 02:05:24,280
Speaker 1: year ago at this time? Right, I say it is

2671
02:05:24,840 --> 02:05:27,480
Speaker 1: marginally maybe Do you agree with that, Steve? Yeah, I

2672
02:05:27,800 --> 02:05:30,240
Speaker 1: think it's different, no question whether it's harder or easier.

2673
02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,440
Speaker 1: I ultimately we have to ask him three years down

2674
02:05:32,480 --> 02:05:35,160
Speaker 1: the road about it was a year two harder than

2675
02:05:35,280 --> 02:05:37,760
Speaker 1: year one? But it is going to be different. It

2676
02:05:37,880 --> 02:05:41,240
Speaker 1: is going to be different, and I think I think

2677
02:05:41,240 --> 02:05:43,400
Speaker 1: a lot of it is, you know, the groundwork, they've

2678
02:05:43,400 --> 02:05:45,840
Speaker 1: already been laid. But let's face it, he's already, as

2679
02:05:45,880 --> 02:05:47,640
Speaker 1: he said it time and time again to his players,

2680
02:05:47,680 --> 02:05:50,560
Speaker 1: this is a new team. We're building a team this year,

2681
02:05:50,640 --> 02:05:52,360
Speaker 1: just the way we built a team last year when

2682
02:05:52,360 --> 02:05:54,120
Speaker 1: I were starting with different pieces and stuff. But the

2683
02:05:54,240 --> 02:05:57,400
Speaker 1: challenge ultimately is a lot the same because you're doing

2684
02:05:57,400 --> 02:06:00,640
Speaker 1: the same sports, same team, same division, same a lot.

2685
02:06:01,840 --> 02:06:03,520
Speaker 1: There's just a lot of new pieces. Now. Is that

2686
02:06:03,640 --> 02:06:06,840
Speaker 1: harder or easier or is it just different? And that's

2687
02:06:07,040 --> 02:06:09,400
Speaker 1: it's a good It's a it's a debate that I

2688
02:06:09,440 --> 02:06:11,440
Speaker 1: don't think we settled it. I know not. People think

2689
02:06:11,480 --> 02:06:15,080
Speaker 1: it's it's harder this year or more bigger challenge this year?

2690
02:06:15,080 --> 02:06:16,760
Speaker 1: A lot of people have chimed in and said that,

2691
02:06:16,920 --> 02:06:18,800
Speaker 1: but it is different. But I don't know if it's

2692
02:06:18,840 --> 02:06:21,040
Speaker 1: harder or the same. If you care to weigh in,

2693
02:06:21,160 --> 02:06:23,800
Speaker 1: We've got the Twitter poll up and right now on

2694
02:06:23,840 --> 02:06:25,880
Speaker 1: the Twitter pole, most you say it's a bigger challenge.

2695
02:06:25,960 --> 02:06:28,800
Speaker 1: Seventy percent say Sean McDermott has a bigger challenge this

2696
02:06:28,960 --> 02:06:31,280
Speaker 1: year than they had a year ago. Twenty one percent

2697
02:06:31,320 --> 02:06:33,920
Speaker 1: say it's about the same, nine percent say the challenge

2698
02:06:34,000 --> 02:06:35,920
Speaker 1: is a little bit less. Let's hear from your phone

2699
02:06:35,960 --> 02:06:38,120
Speaker 1: lines open eight oh three oh five fifty and toll

2700
02:06:38,200 --> 02:06:41,360
Speaker 1: free one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty,

2701
02:06:41,640 --> 02:06:46,200
Speaker 1: And we have folks who weigh in on the tweet

2702
02:06:46,240 --> 02:06:48,360
Speaker 1: sheet on this very issue. Let me read one for

2703
02:06:48,440 --> 02:06:51,520
Speaker 1: you here. Christopher Colb I'd have to say it's a

2704
02:06:51,520 --> 02:06:53,920
Speaker 1: bigger challenge. He made the playoffs last year, which is huge,

2705
02:06:53,960 --> 02:06:56,920
Speaker 1: but now he has a responsibility of bringing along a

2706
02:06:57,080 --> 02:07:00,520
Speaker 1: hopeful franchise quarterback the right way. If Alan bals so

2707
02:07:00,680 --> 02:07:04,120
Speaker 1: will he especially if Rosen become successful. Pressure is dialed

2708
02:07:04,200 --> 02:07:06,880
Speaker 1: up this year. For sure. We're not talking about pressure, Christopher,

2709
02:07:07,000 --> 02:07:10,320
Speaker 1: But you make a valid point. He didn't you know,

2710
02:07:11,200 --> 02:07:13,960
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott didn't own Tyrod Taylor. He didn't have to

2711
02:07:14,040 --> 02:07:16,600
Speaker 1: fix Tyrod Taylor. He didn't have to teach Tyrod Taylor.

2712
02:07:16,840 --> 02:07:19,920
Speaker 1: They stayed with him. Tyrod did his job, didn't throw interceptions,

2713
02:07:19,960 --> 02:07:22,640
Speaker 1: didn't put him in bad positions, made plays with his legs.

2714
02:07:23,040 --> 02:07:25,440
Speaker 1: It's a different equation here. He's got a rookie quarterback

2715
02:07:25,480 --> 02:07:27,640
Speaker 1: who has to be brought along, whether it's this year

2716
02:07:27,800 --> 02:07:30,040
Speaker 1: or next, right, And that's why it's so different. It's

2717
02:07:30,400 --> 02:07:32,920
Speaker 1: whether it's harder or easier than that is a good debate,

2718
02:07:33,280 --> 02:07:35,440
Speaker 1: But it is going to be different because the key

2719
02:07:35,560 --> 02:07:37,800
Speaker 1: components of this team are much much different than they

2720
02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:40,040
Speaker 1: were a year ago. Last year, the secondary was an

2721
02:07:40,200 --> 02:07:43,200
Speaker 1: enormous question mark. They were coming with four new starters,

2722
02:07:43,840 --> 02:07:47,160
Speaker 1: and they had an established or a more established wide

2723
02:07:47,240 --> 02:07:51,480
Speaker 1: receiving corps. And that's all changed. That's all changed this year.

2724
02:07:51,720 --> 02:07:53,640
Speaker 1: I mean last year, at this time, at this time,

2725
02:07:53,720 --> 02:07:56,040
Speaker 1: you had Sammy Watkins. That was big, that was a

2726
02:07:57,200 --> 02:07:58,960
Speaker 1: he was the guy at the receiver. He don't he

2727
02:07:59,040 --> 02:08:01,920
Speaker 1: doesn't live here anymore. And we all know they turned out,

2728
02:08:01,960 --> 02:08:05,560
Speaker 1: and we all have thoughts on what Sammy Watkins potential

2729
02:08:05,680 --> 02:08:07,520
Speaker 1: is and where his career might be, but a year ago,

2730
02:08:08,080 --> 02:08:10,600
Speaker 1: Sammy a year ago today, Sammy Watkins was viewed as

2731
02:08:10,680 --> 02:08:13,040
Speaker 1: a as a weapon, a key weapon for this franchise.

2732
02:08:13,360 --> 02:08:15,240
Speaker 1: McDermott had that in his back pocket here ago at

2733
02:08:15,280 --> 02:08:16,720
Speaker 1: this and he had a quarterback he was going into

2734
02:08:16,760 --> 02:08:19,000
Speaker 1: his thirty years as starting quarterback. They had a running

2735
02:08:19,040 --> 02:08:21,760
Speaker 1: game that was established, well established. Although they did revamp

2736
02:08:21,840 --> 02:08:25,120
Speaker 1: the offense, the think the new things last year was

2737
02:08:25,160 --> 02:08:28,879
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott and his staff. Everything was new, the culture

2738
02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:31,920
Speaker 1: was new, the schedule was new, the atmosphere was new,

2739
02:08:32,800 --> 02:08:34,920
Speaker 1: and it was as much up to the veteran players

2740
02:08:34,960 --> 02:08:39,000
Speaker 1: to acclimate to it as anything. So that was as

2741
02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:41,560
Speaker 1: big an issue as anything. But you know, so it's

2742
02:08:41,720 --> 02:08:44,320
Speaker 1: it's completely different this year. All of that is established

2743
02:08:44,360 --> 02:08:47,000
Speaker 1: and it's been proven over the course of a playoff

2744
02:08:47,320 --> 02:08:51,560
Speaker 1: birth to be right, to be to be competitive, to

2745
02:08:51,680 --> 02:08:53,280
Speaker 1: be the way they're going to go with things. It's

2746
02:08:53,480 --> 02:08:57,120
Speaker 1: it's been credible and that's you know, so everything has changed.

2747
02:08:57,160 --> 02:08:59,880
Speaker 1: It is a completely new team, a completely new vibe here,

2748
02:09:00,840 --> 02:09:04,040
Speaker 1: and they've got completely new strengths and weaknesses to a

2749
02:09:04,320 --> 02:09:06,880
Speaker 1: completely different roster, even though there are different guys on it.

2750
02:09:07,000 --> 02:09:08,800
Speaker 1: We've got time some of the same guys on it.

2751
02:09:08,880 --> 02:09:10,600
Speaker 1: You get time to talk about these issues if you'd

2752
02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:12,280
Speaker 1: like on the phone line, So give us a call.

2753
02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:15,360
Speaker 1: Also time for NFL True or False brought to you

2754
02:09:15,440 --> 02:09:19,320
Speaker 1: by Yancey's Fancy New York's artist and Cheese. True or

2755
02:09:19,440 --> 02:09:22,720
Speaker 1: False Steve The NFL should add a one week warm

2756
02:09:22,840 --> 02:09:25,480
Speaker 1: up period before training camp. John Harbaugh said that a

2757
02:09:25,520 --> 02:09:28,280
Speaker 1: week ago. He said teams should have a one week

2758
02:09:28,360 --> 02:09:32,200
Speaker 1: warm up before they go to camp to prevent injuries. True. False.

2759
02:09:33,480 --> 02:09:35,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying false. I mean, what are we talking about

2760
02:09:35,600 --> 02:09:38,640
Speaker 1: another week? No, I think you need the downtime. I'm

2761
02:09:38,640 --> 02:09:40,280
Speaker 1: saying false. You don't need a warm up week. What

2762
02:09:40,360 --> 02:09:43,960
Speaker 1: do you think? I say? True? I think it makes

2763
02:09:44,000 --> 02:09:46,480
Speaker 1: our job easier. They go to camp a week earlier.

2764
02:09:46,920 --> 02:09:48,920
Speaker 1: You know, we don't have to always. Yeah, I think

2765
02:09:49,000 --> 02:09:52,280
Speaker 1: I know. I agree. I think it is good. You

2766
02:09:52,360 --> 02:09:54,520
Speaker 1: see it a lot, not a lot, but you see

2767
02:09:54,560 --> 02:09:56,880
Speaker 1: it every year where there's somebody who is in a

2768
02:09:57,000 --> 02:09:59,400
Speaker 1: non contact thing where they start to ramp up the

2769
02:09:59,560 --> 02:10:02,000
Speaker 1: pace of practice and somebody gets hurt in a non

2770
02:10:02,080 --> 02:10:05,200
Speaker 1: contact injury. It happens even during a regular season. Deshaun

2771
02:10:05,240 --> 02:10:08,160
Speaker 1: Watson from the Houston Texans did that last year non

2772
02:10:08,280 --> 02:10:10,840
Speaker 1: contact injury, just stuff. When they're out there running around,

2773
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:14,320
Speaker 1: they need to ramp up slowly. And these players, the players,

2774
02:10:14,360 --> 02:10:16,520
Speaker 1: when you hit the training camp, your adrenaline kicks in

2775
02:10:16,760 --> 02:10:19,320
Speaker 1: quick because now it's all for real. All the training,

2776
02:10:19,400 --> 02:10:23,840
Speaker 1: all the hype, all the drafting, the contracts, the wait.

2777
02:10:24,040 --> 02:10:26,400
Speaker 1: Your whole dreams and hopes and dreams are tied up

2778
02:10:26,560 --> 02:10:30,080
Speaker 1: in this opportunity. And the especially for young players, that

2779
02:10:30,880 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 1: adrenaline just gets spiked right away, and you need to

2780
02:10:34,160 --> 02:10:35,680
Speaker 1: like say, well, you know, you give him a chance

2781
02:10:35,720 --> 02:10:37,520
Speaker 1: to get up to speed. So I say it's true.

2782
02:10:37,560 --> 02:10:39,520
Speaker 1: It's a good idea, all right, NFL True or false?

2783
02:10:39,560 --> 02:10:42,600
Speaker 1: Brought to you by Yancey's Fancy New York's Artistan Chief

2784
02:10:42,640 --> 02:10:44,880
Speaker 1: Steve and I back with more. One Bill's Live presented

2785
02:10:44,920 --> 02:10:47,640
Speaker 1: by Collada Health, Where live at training camp on Buffalo

2786
02:10:47,720 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 1: Bill's Radio. What do We Learned? Presented by Advanced Alarm

2787
02:11:02,560 --> 02:11:05,200
Speaker 1: Providing Western Arms, homes and businesses with the finance and

2788
02:11:05,280 --> 02:11:07,720
Speaker 1: security in home Theater the he preferred alarm and home

2789
02:11:07,760 --> 02:11:09,760
Speaker 1: theater provider of the Buffalo Bills. We had a good show.

2790
02:11:09,960 --> 02:11:13,240
Speaker 1: Kyle Williams joined this long time Bills veteran defensive tackle

2791
02:11:13,440 --> 02:11:16,400
Speaker 1: and talked about the returning culture of the Buffalo Bills.

2792
02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:21,600
Speaker 1: This training camp, we enjoyed each other. We actually talked

2793
02:11:21,600 --> 02:11:23,240
Speaker 1: about it just now, you know, we broke the team.

2794
02:11:23,280 --> 02:11:24,960
Speaker 1: They were like, hey, you know, toughness and effort will

2795
02:11:25,000 --> 02:11:29,000
Speaker 1: be our calling card, but beyond that, our commitment and

2796
02:11:29,520 --> 02:11:32,720
Speaker 1: undying love and accountability for one another is what the

2797
02:11:32,800 --> 02:11:34,440
Speaker 1: calling card of this team is. And if you don't

2798
02:11:34,480 --> 02:11:37,200
Speaker 1: believe it, just look around, ask somebody, and you know,

2799
02:11:37,280 --> 02:11:40,880
Speaker 1: whether that's a Friday or Thursday, whatever today is in July,

2800
02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:43,040
Speaker 1: or that's a Sunday in December, that's gonna hold true

2801
02:11:43,080 --> 02:11:44,880
Speaker 1: all year. So I think that's a lot of what

2802
02:11:45,040 --> 02:11:47,880
Speaker 1: people have seen or continue to see. And I really

2803
02:11:47,920 --> 02:11:50,560
Speaker 1: think that's how good football teams are built. And that's

2804
02:11:50,600 --> 02:11:52,480
Speaker 1: I think that's the way that Sean and Brandon their

2805
02:11:52,600 --> 02:11:54,520
Speaker 1: vision is kind of playing out in front of everyone

2806
02:11:54,600 --> 02:11:57,800
Speaker 1: and for us all to see. We also at veteran

2807
02:11:57,920 --> 02:11:59,960
Speaker 1: Lorenzo Alexander on the show today and he talked about

2808
02:12:00,240 --> 02:12:03,200
Speaker 1: his approach, his veteran approach the training camp as he

2809
02:12:03,240 --> 02:12:06,840
Speaker 1: goes to his thirteenth in the NFL. I think you

2810
02:12:06,920 --> 02:12:08,520
Speaker 1: get so much better in the film room when you

2811
02:12:08,600 --> 02:12:10,960
Speaker 1: take it seriously. I mean, oftentimes you can kind of,

2812
02:12:11,120 --> 02:12:14,240
Speaker 1: you know, fall asleep or be drained. But if you

2813
02:12:14,360 --> 02:12:17,240
Speaker 1: go in there really being critical of yourself and then

2814
02:12:17,320 --> 02:12:20,160
Speaker 1: watching everybody around you, you can become a better football player.

2815
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:23,200
Speaker 1: And that's why guys like Kyle Williams or Tom Brady,

2816
02:12:23,440 --> 02:12:25,560
Speaker 1: these guys trans in the game because they're students of

2817
02:12:25,640 --> 02:12:27,440
Speaker 1: the game. And that's really where you make a lot

2818
02:12:27,480 --> 02:12:30,200
Speaker 1: of games, especially later in your career when your body

2819
02:12:30,240 --> 02:12:33,040
Speaker 1: may not be able to react as well. Mentally, you

2820
02:12:33,160 --> 02:12:34,760
Speaker 1: have it, and so I try to instill that with

2821
02:12:34,840 --> 02:12:37,240
Speaker 1: a lot of the young guys. You know, make every

2822
02:12:37,320 --> 02:12:40,880
Speaker 1: part of this game. Be professional in taking great notes,

2823
02:12:41,000 --> 02:12:44,320
Speaker 1: watching film, studying your opponent, and then obviously the physical

2824
02:12:44,480 --> 02:12:46,920
Speaker 1: part takes care of itself because most people enjoy doing that,

2825
02:12:47,080 --> 02:12:50,839
Speaker 1: competing lifting weights with going out there and playing football.

2826
02:12:52,240 --> 02:12:54,520
Speaker 1: That's run Joy Alexander. A Twitter poll today, what kind

2827
02:12:54,520 --> 02:12:56,960
Speaker 1: of a challenge to Sean McDermott facing the second year.

2828
02:12:57,440 --> 02:13:00,280
Speaker 1: Seventy percent of you say it's a bigger challenge, twenty

2829
02:13:00,320 --> 02:13:03,680
Speaker 1: percent say it's about the same, ten percent say less.

2830
02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:06,040
Speaker 1: We only have a couple of seconds left to see,

2831
02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:08,320
Speaker 1: but it is a bigger challenge. I think mcdermot's up

2832
02:13:08,360 --> 02:13:09,840
Speaker 1: to it. I gotta say I do too, And I

2833
02:13:09,920 --> 02:13:12,560
Speaker 1: think there's a lot more level of faith that it

2834
02:13:12,720 --> 02:13:14,080
Speaker 1: is the right plan, that he is going to be

2835
02:13:14,120 --> 02:13:15,880
Speaker 1: able to meet that challenge, and I think his players

2836
02:13:15,960 --> 02:13:19,480
Speaker 1: believe it. I think that helps them achieve the next level.

2837
02:13:20,000 --> 02:13:22,120
Speaker 1: But I don't think there's any question the expectations inside

2838
02:13:22,120 --> 02:13:23,720
Speaker 1: that locker rumor to take it a step further than

2839
02:13:23,760 --> 02:13:25,040
Speaker 1: they did a year ago. All Right, we had a

2840
02:13:25,080 --> 02:13:27,200
Speaker 1: great show today, our first day at training camp, and

2841

2848
02:13:46,000 --> 02:13:48,760
Speaker 1: from Bill's Training Camp on Buffalo Bill's Radio
