1
00:00:02,000 --> 00:00:05,720
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:05,840 --> 00:00:07,440
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:07,520 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: player for you see a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:14,040 --> 00:00:24,280
Speaker 1: the stragedyer of normalcy. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Saint John

5
00:00:24,440 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 1: Fisher University. Chris Brown here with you. Steve Tasker will

6
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: be here effective tomorrow. If you're wondering about his whereabouts.

7
00:00:33,520 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: He is marooned in Denver. Is a family reunion and

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 1: getting back from it proved to be difficult as the

9
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,800
Speaker 1: airline industry, as we all know, cancels fights at their

10
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,000
Speaker 1: every whim, sometimes for no reason, and that was the

11
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,519
Speaker 1: case for Steve and his whole family yesterday as they

12
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 1: were trying to get out of Denver and get back

13
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,960
Speaker 1: here to Western New York. So he is delayed, but

14
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: he is supposed to be on a flight home today,

15
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,400
Speaker 1: so we'll have him out here at camp tomorrow. So

16
00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 1: it's you and me at least for the first hour.

17
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:06,520
Speaker 1: Mattie Glab will be joining me a little bit later

18
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: on in the show to kind of go over our

19
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,040
Speaker 1: on field observations from day two and just to bring

20
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: you up to speed because day one, as we know,

21
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: on the practice field was Sunday right off the bat

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: and Sean McDermott has done this in years past. Day

23
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 1: one of camp bang right in the red zone for

24
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: team segments of practice, and then today the focus was

25
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:35,560
Speaker 1: third down in the team segments, third and short in particular,

26
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: third and medium, right around like third and two, third

27
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: and three, third and four, all of those kinds of

28
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: downs and distances for the entire team segments of practice today.

29
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: So the early focus read zone and third down, I

30
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: think we all know why those are critical moments in

31
00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 1: every football game, and so coach McDermott made it a

32
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: point to make that a focus here on the first

33
00:01:56,200 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: two days of camp. Bill's had a transaction today. They

34
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: signed free agent guard Jordan Simmons, so veteran player has

35
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:08,080
Speaker 1: been largely a backup in the league, mostly at the

36
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,480
Speaker 1: guard position. So he is in the fold now and

37
00:02:12,960 --> 00:02:14,880
Speaker 1: was out on the practice field today. I'll be wearing

38
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 1: jersey number sixty one for anyone who's interested and wants

39
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: to get a peek at him. So he got his

40
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: first day of work in today. Jamison Crowder did not

41
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,840
Speaker 1: participate in practice today. He was on the stationary bike

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: alongside Tredavious White, who remains on the active pup list

43
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:36,639
Speaker 1: along with two other players, Mike Butcker and Roger Saffold,

44
00:02:36,680 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: the veteran guard who was the first free agent signee

45
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:45,520
Speaker 1: back in the spring. Saffold unfortunately had a car accident

46
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,760
Speaker 1: a few weeks ago and had some rib injuries as

47
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,240
Speaker 1: a result of that accident, so he is not yet

48
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,920
Speaker 1: fully cleared to practice. Same for Trdavious White and Mike Butcker,

49
00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: who's coming off the Achilles injury last year in week sixteen,

50
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:03,160
Speaker 1: still has some time to go for that to be

51
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,200
Speaker 1: in the right place. We haven't even seen him out

52
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:08,520
Speaker 1: here really through the first two days of training camp.

53
00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,160
Speaker 1: Got a chock full of nuts show for you today.

54
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: Coming up at the bottom of the hour, we are

55
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: scheduled to have Brandon being joined us, so we're looking

56
00:03:17,360 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: forward to that conversation as he sits down with us

57
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:23,079
Speaker 1: here on set at training camp. Second hour the show,

58
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 1: right around one thirty ish Eastern time, we're gonna have

59
00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:29,919
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Mike Giardi joining us. He spends a lot

60
00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: of time covering the AFC East for the NFL Network.

61
00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: He was here at practice today, so he'll join us

62
00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:37,760
Speaker 1: not only give us his thoughts on the Bills, but

63
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: on the AFC East as large at large. I'm not

64
00:03:41,480 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: sure this might be his first camp that he's gotten to.

65
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: I'll try to check with him before we bring him

66
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 1: on the air. I believe this might be the first

67
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: camp that he's getting to, so he may not have

68
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 1: seen the other AFCAS clubs just yet. But he's got

69
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,280
Speaker 1: his ear to the ground on all the offseason happenings

70
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: with all the teams in the division. So we look

71
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: forward to that conversation and as I said, Maddie will

72
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 1: be joining us a little bit later on in the

73
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,080
Speaker 1: show and we'll kind of just kind of share our

74
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: thoughts from the first two days of camp to this point.

75
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: As we know, Josh Allen spoke to the media yesterday

76
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: and I thought the most interesting comment from him was

77
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: the one about the new mindset that he believes the

78
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:27,400
Speaker 1: team has to have. So he essentially said, we can't

79
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: think of ourselves the way we did last year because

80
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:33,799
Speaker 1: we're a new team. We feel we're a better team,

81
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: so our mindset has to be we have to be

82
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:39,039
Speaker 1: better on the field each and every week. So last

83
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:41,360
Speaker 1: year they were an eleven six football team. I think

84
00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 1: we would all agree they had some down performances through

85
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: the course of that year. Some people feel they may

86
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: have or should have had an even better record than

87
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: eleven and six, and I would say at least one

88
00:04:53,279 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 1: more victory for sure. The Indianapolis and Jacksonville games stand out,

89
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,680
Speaker 1: as does the season opener against Pittsburgh in terms of

90
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 1: that eleven and six record. When all was said and done,

91
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:07,600
Speaker 1: and what Josh intimated was, we expect to be better,

92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:12,039
Speaker 1: and we're practicing that way. We're taking film sessions and

93
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:16,719
Speaker 1: every moment they're doing football, they are focused on being

94
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: better than they were last year. And I think the

95
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 1: main reason why because Josh addressed this at the end

96
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,920
Speaker 1: of last season in a locker clean out press conference

97
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: at the close of the twenty twenty one campaign, where

98
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: he basically said, we need to get home field advantage

99
00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:34,120
Speaker 1: throughout the playoffs. To do that, you have to be

100
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,240
Speaker 1: better than eleven and six, And so I think they

101
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: know they got to stack some more stuff in the

102
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: win column in order to get that number one seed

103
00:05:41,480 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 1: at home, not only at home for the duration of

104
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:45,960
Speaker 1: the playoffs, but the buy as well. So you're playing

105
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: one less game just to get to the Super Bowl.

106
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 1: So that was some of Josh's thoughts, in addition to

107
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: his clear affinity for turkey burghers here at Saint John

108
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,440
Speaker 1: Fishing University. I will say, I did you know all

109
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,359
Speaker 1: the hype between him and Jordan Porio was talking up

110
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:02,919
Speaker 1: the turkey borkers. I did have one yesterday and it

111
00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: is probably one of the best turkey burgers I had.

112
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:08,760
Speaker 1: So the hype meets the results. I will say thumbs

113
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: up on the Saint John Fisher University turkey burgers. I

114
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: don't think I had him quite the same as some

115
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: of the players do. I'm I was standing in line

116
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 1: by Tremaine Edmonds. I said, oh, you're getting a turkey

117
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 1: burger too. He goes, yeah, but I might stack mine

118
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,160
Speaker 1: a little differently than yours. He put two patties is

119
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: but my yeah, I only need a single here. I'm good.

120
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 1: So Tremaine was loading it up and he's apparently a

121
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 1: fan of the turkey burger as well. Von Miller also

122
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: addressed the media yesterday, and I wrote this in our

123
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: three things that we learned from Day one a training

124
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,880
Speaker 1: camp on Buffalo bills dot com. But I think the

125
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: biggest thing for me that stood out was Von Miller said,

126
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: I need snaps his entire career. He is not used

127
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,640
Speaker 1: to taking snaps off, being rotated out of the lineup.

128
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 1: He's been on the field for sixty seventy seventy five

129
00:07:00,040 --> 00:07:04,359
Speaker 1: snaps a game for his entire career. He knows coming

130
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 1: in the door here that it's a rotational system. Leslie

131
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 1: Frasier and Sean McDermott subscribe to rotating defensive lineman through

132
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: sometimes eight in a game with varying degrees of playing time.

133
00:07:17,320 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 1: Of course, the starters tend to play a little bit more,

134
00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: but not tremendously more, and so von Miller was asked

135
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 1: about that dynamic and how he feels about it, and

136
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 1: he essentially said, I'll do whatever they ask me too,

137
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: but I expect to play. He said. When I'm not

138
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 1: on the field and the other team gets a big

139
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,800
Speaker 1: play on us, that bothers me because I feel like

140
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:42,559
Speaker 1: I could have affected things somehow. So I think there's

141
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: going to be a balance that has to be struck there.

142
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,680
Speaker 1: I think the Bills are also respecting the fact that

143
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,720
Speaker 1: von Miller is thirty three years old, and while he

144
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 1: hasn't shown any signs of slowing down, I think they're

145
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: going to want to keep the rotational system in play,

146
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 1: and we'll hear from defensive coordinator Leslie Frasier a little

147
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:02,440
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show. He will address this

148
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:06,480
Speaker 1: very subject on von Miller and the snap count that

149
00:08:06,520 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 1: he's looking for and how they'll try to balance that

150
00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 1: with what their rotational system is through the course of

151
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 1: what will be a seventeen game season. So we'll get

152
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,800
Speaker 1: to that in short order. A couple other things though,

153
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:24,400
Speaker 1: that I wanted to get to people that have impressed

154
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,240
Speaker 1: early through the first two days. James Cook stands out

155
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: you don't even have to have a trained eye for

156
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:38,199
Speaker 1: football talent, smooth route runner, very fluid athlete. He stands

157
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: out on a field that has a very, very very

158
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,320
Speaker 1: good roster. I think Khalil Shakir, the other rookie, has

159
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: done a nice job in making plays here the first

160
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:52,160
Speaker 1: two days. The pads aren't on yet, which could change

161
00:08:52,200 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 1: the dynamics a little bit, but I think through the

162
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:59,360
Speaker 1: first two days he's made a good first impression, I

163
00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: would say, is a safe way to put it. Today,

164
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,160
Speaker 1: the defense probably had the better of the offense. Four

165
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: interceptions in today's practice two by Josh Allen the others

166
00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 1: by case Keenum. One was a questionable in my mind

167
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference. Nick McLeod kind of bumped the intended

168
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:25,800
Speaker 1: receiver on the play before the ball got there and

169
00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:27,880
Speaker 1: kind of bumped him out of position and then made

170
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:30,200
Speaker 1: the play on the ball. But McLeod had two of

171
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,960
Speaker 1: the interceptions today, one while lined up at corner and

172
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: the other while lined up at safety. So I'll be

173
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:41,200
Speaker 1: eager to ask Brandon Bean about Nick McLeod and how

174
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,320
Speaker 1: he's coming along, especially in a position flex situation. So

175
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,559
Speaker 1: that's a guy that I'll be asking him about when

176
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:50,440
Speaker 1: we get a chance to sit down with Brandon in

177
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 1: just a little bit. Well we want to do now, though,

178
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,960
Speaker 1: is go over to the podium across the way from

179
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: where I sit Stefan Diggs addressing the media. So let's

180
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:02,360
Speaker 1: hear from five. What do you think of it? You know,

181
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: getting away as a team and that sort of thing,

182
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:05,719
Speaker 1: because it does kind of go against the friend of

183
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,920
Speaker 1: the National Football League whatever. What does it mean to

184
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 1: you into this team? Uh, it's my first year here,

185
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: so uh, definitely something heavily I anticipated when they said

186
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: we were going to be here. Uh, I look forward

187
00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 1: to it. It's definitely a team bonding kind of thing.

188
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:20,800
Speaker 1: Getting away from your home. You know, the only thing

189
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,200
Speaker 1: I miss is my bed, But other than that, I

190
00:10:23,280 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: enjoyed being around the guys and getting back to football.

191
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 1: What have you seen going up against the guy like Erlone,

192
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:34,160
Speaker 1: a young rookie first trump Peck. I mean it's only

193
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,679
Speaker 1: day two, so uh so that we got a lot

194
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,640
Speaker 1: to build off of, just as far as like as

195
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: a team and as a unit, as far as the individual.

196
00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: You know, he's a good player. You know, he was

197
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,080
Speaker 1: drafting in the first round. Um, of course they're gonna

198
00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: expect a lot out of them immediately. But I feel

199
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,080
Speaker 1: like he's up to the task, and I hope, I

200
00:10:49,080 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: hope we can build off us team taking over officio

201
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: did now something's in my notes Ken taking overs off

202
00:10:57,960 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 1: as a board meter. What have you noticed terms of

203
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:02,280
Speaker 1: the difference in how much you can adjusted with you big,

204
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: I think it's I think it's a lot of things

205
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 1: actually similar more than the difference, because they were kind

206
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: of underneath. You know, he was a QB coach. He

207
00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: kind of kept DA predominantly the same as far as

208
00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,680
Speaker 1: terminology and language, just so we didn't have to relearn

209
00:11:15,720 --> 00:11:17,839
Speaker 1: a lot of this stuff, but I don't really know.

210
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,599
Speaker 1: I'm not in the quarterback Oh see room, I'm just

211
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: doing what I'm told. So I just feel like he's

212
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 1: doing a great job. We've just taken like I said,

213
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:27,160
Speaker 1: we're just built it off Briggins only day two and

214
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying around like day seventeen, day sixteen. I'll let

215
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: you know, they've always moved you around pretty well in

216
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: the offense with Cole being gone. I mean, Cole you

217
00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:38,000
Speaker 1: could count out. Wasn't endless lot all the time, and

218
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:42,280
Speaker 1: rightfully so. But I mean you see moving around maybe

219
00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: even more different. Well, no, I think they're just gonna

220
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:54,280
Speaker 1: keep me in one spot the whole time. How much

221
00:11:54,360 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: do you think Dave davis Is performance did not playoff

222
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:04,199
Speaker 1: game was a launching point and prepared him for what

223
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:07,640
Speaker 1: should be a bigger role this year. I don't think

224
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: it was necessarily that game, because as we all knew,

225
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:14,560
Speaker 1: especially his first year, we knew he was he carried

226
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:17,439
Speaker 1: himself as a professional. He stacked every day and everybody

227
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:18,959
Speaker 1: on this team. But I don't even respect the game,

228
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: but knew he was a talented receiver. It wasn't more

229
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,079
Speaker 1: so that game because he had the ability before that.

230
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: You know, you saw a weekend and week out, especially

231
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: as a receiver, you get to see a guy every day.

232
00:12:28,160 --> 00:12:30,080
Speaker 1: So it was more so everybody else saw it rather

233
00:12:30,160 --> 00:12:33,080
Speaker 1: than then we saw because I wasn't. I wasn't surprised

234
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,079
Speaker 1: of anything that he did that game. He had a

235
00:12:35,080 --> 00:12:37,160
Speaker 1: head of a game. But right now, Dave is having

236
00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: a hell of a career if you considered for a

237
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:40,800
Speaker 1: young guy, I'm saying he stepped in as a as

238
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: younger I was playing early and that second year all

239
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: he did was make ticket second year a jump to

240
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 1: me at least. Uh, And I don't I wasn't surprised

241
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,719
Speaker 1: by it at all. I just felt like he was

242
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: just doing what he had been doing. Because everybody got

243
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,559
Speaker 1: to see it at a high level set him step

244
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 1: up perhaps even more this offseason coming into this camp.

245
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I mean kind of like when you when

246
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 1: I say, like it's day two. But as far as like, uh,

247
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: my personal relationship gave I watching put a lot of

248
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,960
Speaker 1: time in the off season. I watched him, uh honing

249
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,559
Speaker 1: on the things he you know, I feel like he

250
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,199
Speaker 1: felt like was weaknesses and uh, he kind of took

251
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,320
Speaker 1: a day by day and I'm saying it translates. Now.

252
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:16,800
Speaker 1: You know, we are just trying to get on the

253
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,920
Speaker 1: same page right now. It's more so every league your

254
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: starts starts different. It's a brand new team, a lot

255
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: of new pieces. You know, some pieces are gone, so

256
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,200
Speaker 1: it's probably like starting over again and building that clay.

257
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: So as far as an individual gave as a hell

258
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: of a player, he's talented, I'm sorry. And you know

259
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:32,839
Speaker 1: we got a hell of a quarterback, we got some

260
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: running backs, we got some receivers. But it all goes

261
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 1: into um, not putting a carriage before the horse. You

262
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 1: had different coordinators, so stop your career. What is the

263
00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:46,679
Speaker 1: key to making sure when you have a new coordinator

264
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 1: to get everybody i'm the same page as quick as possible.

265
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,360
Speaker 1: What has been like I'm in the nouninator to do that? Uh?

266
00:13:54,920 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: I guess communication. I would say communication is everything, especially

267
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:00,360
Speaker 1: from an OC standpoint, just trying to convey to message

268
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,760
Speaker 1: on what kind of offense you want to have, what

269
00:14:01,880 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: kind of identity you want to have, And that's something

270
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: that I only uh course McDermot does, but everybody's echoing

271
00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 1: and what kind of identity you want to have, what

272
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:09,760
Speaker 1: kind of team you want to have, and you just

273
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: take it day by day because you don't come out

274
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 1: and figure out who you are day one and day two,

275
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,559
Speaker 1: but you can kind of start a landing foundation on

276
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 1: what kind of team you want people want to be,

277
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:19,520
Speaker 1: and they have it. They do a great job of

278
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 1: bringing in the right kind of players with the right

279
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 1: mindset of you know, not putting the carg before the horse,

280
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: putting a lot of time in and uh, that's what

281
00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 1: you got to do in order to be a good team.

282
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,800
Speaker 1: You gotta stack those days, you know what I'm saying,

283
00:14:30,080 --> 00:14:32,640
Speaker 1: and build that identity. So you just take it one

284
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: day at a time. Strut seem to stop all together,

285
00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: the lot of guys and asking how have you seen

286
00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 1: yourself not that row into that leadershift role? I got

287
00:14:47,360 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 1: to sit you got here? I mean I feel like

288
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 1: I kind of um, I've been that guy as far

289
00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:55,320
Speaker 1: as like since of urgency. Uh, one play at a time.

290
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: You know I'm saying, I echo it to my quarterback

291
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,480
Speaker 1: to echo it to everybody. I never want to have

292
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: a low. I never want to ride that roller coaster

293
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,640
Speaker 1: because you know, throughout games and throughout practice, you're gonna

294
00:15:03,640 --> 00:15:05,680
Speaker 1: have those adds and flows of good players, bad plays,

295
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:07,760
Speaker 1: good players bad plays. So I kind of try to

296
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 1: stay even kill and keep the energy positive, you know,

297
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: brief confidence in the gods to the left and to

298
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 1: the right of me. So when you're making plays, you know,

299
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:15,920
Speaker 1: feel excited about it, be happy about it. You know,

300
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: you kind of get caught up at just doing your

301
00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,720
Speaker 1: job right, and you know, especially the twos and the

302
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: three table like this, I'm just trying not to mess up.

303
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:23,400
Speaker 1: So when you do something where you need to be happy,

304
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: when need to celebrate, and when you score a touchdown,

305
00:15:25,880 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: you need to need to you need to give me

306
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: some energy. So as far as like those laws and practice,

307
00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: that's that's that's my job. That's part of my job.

308
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,000
Speaker 1: I feel like as an individual and part of this team,

309
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 1: I can't let nobody be dry. In a sense, I

310
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:40,760
Speaker 1: understanding the sample size is small and obviously a relationship

311
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: with his brother. What have you seen from James and

312
00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: this skill set and how King could have made me

313
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,960
Speaker 1: potentially helpless. A lot of similarities, a lot of similarities

314
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: they as we know for the other four is a

315
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,720
Speaker 1: hell of a running back in this league, one of

316
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: the best running backs in my opinion. I used to

317
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: argue all the time was the top three or top two,

318
00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: And I used to be like, well, I feel like

319
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: he's wanting the best run. He can do everything, and

320
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: it's uh the little that I will say. You know,

321
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:06,720
Speaker 1: I've seen a little bit over the past couple of day.

322
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,080
Speaker 1: I saw something in the spring when they say the

323
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 1: apple on far far from the tree. So I think

324
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: we got a good one. Hopefully you know, it pans out.

325
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: But he's done some great things. He's a professional, he

326
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: looks smooth, he's a real he's smooth running back, and

327
00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,480
Speaker 1: hopefully he can add to this offense that we got

328
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,240
Speaker 1: year down with Josh certainly have a good chemistry or apport.

329
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,120
Speaker 1: What is the next step though, in the evolution of

330
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:31,120
Speaker 1: your relationship and the chemistry out the field. Yeah, I

331
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: mean I felt like even then when the first year

332
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,040
Speaker 1: people would say, you got a comment. You know, you

333
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:38,560
Speaker 1: need a lot of remps and you need a lot

334
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,840
Speaker 1: of time. But it's more so you just gotta be

335
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: on the same page with a guy when it comes

336
00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:44,840
Speaker 1: down to playing ball. Oh, y'all know, Josh Allen is

337
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: a gamer. I'm saying he's a he's a football player.

338
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,360
Speaker 1: So far as like being a football player out there,

339
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: being on the same page. It's all communication and going

340
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: into the third year, it's about dominating. That's that's my mindset.

341
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: I don't want to lose. I never want to lose.

342
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:58,560
Speaker 1: I heard your coach. I never want to lose. But

343
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: with him staying where we need to be. As far

344
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 1: as like you know, Josh is super harder than stuff

345
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,800
Speaker 1: is as well. You know, good play, bad play, not

346
00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: riding that roller coaster. You know your next play is

347
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,120
Speaker 1: your best play. And I believe that. You know that's

348
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: my quarterback saying I'm rocking with him regardless. I just

349
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,240
Speaker 1: want to dominate it. I don't want to lose. He's

350
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:19,639
Speaker 1: become a celebrity guy in some way, but he's really grown.

351
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:26,560
Speaker 1: How how have you seen him? Main team still be

352
00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: Josh Well, dealing with the experience, the whole Josh experience.

353
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: That's that that's surround her. I feel like he's the

354
00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: same person. I mean, kind of similar to the game situation.

355
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: Everybody else get to see. Everybody knows you. Um, But

356
00:17:40,080 --> 00:17:41,920
Speaker 1: as far as I being that same person, you don't change.

357
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: He's still the same person I know that loves the golf,

358
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,879
Speaker 1: loves to do everything he loves to do. When more

359
00:17:45,880 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: people know you, you just got more eyes on you.

360
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 1: And he's the same. He's the same guy. He's some

361
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: people you know that you know, they say money doesn't

362
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:55,440
Speaker 1: change your money makes you more of the person that

363
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 1: you already are. So he's the same person. It wasn't

364
00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: It wasn't the money it was and people know him.

365
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 1: He's a good guy. He's a goof off. I know,

366
00:18:03,560 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: he big ship though when we first tund Khalili said

367
00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna pretend to be cool because he's the

368
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,000
Speaker 1: same team and once again, understanding the sample size as small,

369
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,320
Speaker 1: what have you seen from him and how he could

370
00:18:16,320 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: potentially He's a professional. You know, he's a young guy,

371
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,240
Speaker 1: so he's trying to not to f up. So I'm

372
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,680
Speaker 1: I'm super hard on those guys just because I see

373
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,840
Speaker 1: some potential. When I see some potential in those young guys,

374
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,399
Speaker 1: I just want the best out of him, you know,

375
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,719
Speaker 1: And you never know how this thing is gonna shake out.

376
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:34,159
Speaker 1: You know, guys get injured or guys get tired. You know,

377
00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 1: you never know where you need those guys to step up.

378
00:18:35,920 --> 00:18:37,880
Speaker 1: Like earlier, he had to go in after I caught

379
00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:40,280
Speaker 1: a pass and having that having that confidence in those

380
00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 1: young guys that I can send him in there and

381
00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:43,679
Speaker 1: he's not gonna mess up. I'm saying. So he's been

382
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: doing a good job so far, you know, a knock

383
00:18:45,800 --> 00:18:49,040
Speaker 1: on wood. So I hope this is what but I

384
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,600
Speaker 1: hope he continues to continue to grow and stack those bricks.

385
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:53,920
Speaker 1: Young guys gonna be young guys. But you know what

386
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:58,439
Speaker 1: I'm saying, I'm pulling from always good. It was awesome,

387
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,439
Speaker 1: you know, I'm I'm trying to build off it. Actually,

388
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: I had seventy plus black vendors, you know, entrepreneurs promoting

389
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:08,080
Speaker 1: an entrepreneurship. You know this endage. Everybody want to works

390
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:10,520
Speaker 1: for themselves, So trying to give them an avenue to uh,

391
00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:12,439
Speaker 1: you know, not only make a difference on my end,

392
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 1: but I believe in making the differences, you know, putting

393
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: money in people pockets. Similar you also had a chance

394
00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:22,160
Speaker 1: to have a camp for yeah, for young kids back

395
00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: your homesown. Yeah. You know how personally rewarding is that

396
00:19:25,400 --> 00:19:27,879
Speaker 1: for you to be able to find ways to contribute

397
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,840
Speaker 1: to your community that way and in that other event

398
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: as well. I think it's part of my responsibility as far,

399
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:36,320
Speaker 1: like having a platform is one and using it effectively

400
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,080
Speaker 1: to make it make a difference or making change is another.

401
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,520
Speaker 1: So a lot of a lot of my initiatives are

402
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 1: get to women and kids, you know, I try to.

403
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 1: I feel like those are the most you know impact.

404
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:47,480
Speaker 1: You know, as men, we got to stand on our

405
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:49,280
Speaker 1: home team kind of got to figure it out. And

406
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:51,159
Speaker 1: I always try to be there for the people who

407
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:53,919
Speaker 1: you know, uh might might be less fortunate or might

408
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 1: just need an opportunity. So using my platform effectively and

409
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:58,920
Speaker 1: those kids, you don't never know those kids being close

410
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:01,800
Speaker 1: to you, Michael, you might see the next Asian Peters

411
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:04,119
Speaker 1: on the next start, and those kids and giving them

412
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 1: something to do outside of being outside. You know it

413
00:20:06,080 --> 00:20:07,520
Speaker 1: might be having a little from or might be getting

414
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: in trouble as well. So for me, it's you know,

415
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:12,280
Speaker 1: creating another avenue, creating another you know, vantage point for

416
00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 1: for people to just to better themselves. Goals, you know

417
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,160
Speaker 1: the stats if you have the greatest season season since

418
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 1: to me two years ago, it was all right. I

419
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,560
Speaker 1: mean I had that conversation with coach Davis when he

420
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: was there for my first year. In my second year,

421
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,040
Speaker 1: I don't set individual goals because I put a lot

422
00:20:33,119 --> 00:20:35,560
Speaker 1: of working, a lot of work into my craft, so um,

423
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,440
Speaker 1: and you never know how it's going to shake out

424
00:20:37,560 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: as far as like, uh, it all comes down the

425
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 1: opportunity and being ready for the opportunity and the place

426
00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 1: coming your way. Just make them. You know. Seting goals

427
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 1: is kind of feel like if you fall under anything

428
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,040
Speaker 1: underneath those goals, you didn't do good enough. And I

429
00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:50,600
Speaker 1: don't live in that world. I live in the world

430
00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,199
Speaker 1: of my preparation gonna create me over, you know. That's

431
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,879
Speaker 1: why I get my confidence from. It's from my preparations.

432
00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: So I wonder who's right there where they streaming, hopefully

433
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 1: it's where we go. I said, yeah, I don't. I

434
00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: don't live in the world of setting goals. I got

435
00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: some team goals, that's for damn sure we all know.

436
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: But individual no, I'll be all right. You guys around

437
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: your better like you're talking about a point guard basketball

438
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:19,080
Speaker 1: and other guys to play putting. You. Uh, I try

439
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: to live in that world either. I tell a little

440
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:22,159
Speaker 1: dirty all the time. The only reason you're getting the

441
00:21:22,160 --> 00:21:24,440
Speaker 1: bars because I'm getting you open. But I'm only kidding.

442
00:21:24,520 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 1: I'm only kidding because you know those guys spending a

443
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:28,919
Speaker 1: lot of time as well, But that's part of being

444
00:21:28,960 --> 00:21:31,400
Speaker 1: a leader in my eyes, How good are you making

445
00:21:31,440 --> 00:21:33,720
Speaker 1: the guys around you? I'm saying, not only individually, but

446
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: can you can you can you get more out of

447
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: a young guy? Can you get more out of an

448
00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:40,560
Speaker 1: old older guy? And saying parts like pushing him like

449
00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: a guy like Taman Austin. You know, Taman Austin in

450
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: my city is a legend, I'm saying, and back at

451
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,120
Speaker 1: them back at home. At least he's from bottom moment

452
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: or it's how but he's a legend, I'm saying, and

453
00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: having the time, having a chance, the opportunity to play

454
00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,959
Speaker 1: with him. How can you derive or bring some motivation

455
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 1: to the table. How can you continue to push him?

456
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: And how can you push me? So for me, I

457
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: try how to live in that world. But I'll damn

458
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 1: sure gonna die behind I get a little dirty open.

459
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: We definitely you know last you don't have individual goals, yeah,

460
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:10,359
Speaker 1: but there are obviously team boards with the experience that

461
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 1: you've been able to amass with this group, with the

462
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: steps of this franchise is taken. How ready I realized it, really,

463
00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:19,240
Speaker 1: But do you feel this, we've to take that picture

464
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,080
Speaker 1: of Um, I would say we got some experience. What

465
00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,320
Speaker 1: I'm saying, we got to experience getting to kind of

466
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: where we want to go. H. Do we have the

467
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 1: team one hundred percent? Do we have the people? Yes,

468
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: we got the coaches. Yes, I mean, but it's wholeness

469
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,520
Speaker 1: is on us in the preparation and kind of building

470
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,640
Speaker 1: the day by day. UM. I don't have any individual

471
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: goals for a reason because I said a standard for

472
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,880
Speaker 1: myself that I'm supposed to do well. I'm saying, I'm

473
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,840
Speaker 1: I expect I expect to do well. I don't expect

474
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: to do anything but cast the ball, get open and

475
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:48,639
Speaker 1: that kind of thing. But for the team, that's why

476
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,919
Speaker 1: I'm saying, pushing it got next to you. We've been,

477
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: we've been places. Have we been where we wanted to go? No?

478
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,679
Speaker 1: So you know where we're trying to go. Thanks boy?

479
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,880
Speaker 1: All right? That is Stefan Diggs addressing the media out

480
00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:06,920
Speaker 1: here at training camp on day two, and among the

481
00:23:07,040 --> 00:23:11,399
Speaker 1: things that he discussed was which I like to hear?

482
00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: Of course, I mean, he's been an ultra productive receiver

483
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:17,480
Speaker 1: his first two years in a Bill's uniform, and the

484
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 1: prospect has been raised to him that with other viable

485
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,440
Speaker 1: targets in the passing game, for Josh Allen to spread

486
00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: the ball around to his numbers may see a dip

487
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: this year because Gabe Davis is, you know, becoming a

488
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,919
Speaker 1: rock solid number two receiver, Jamison Crowder is a proven

489
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:41,240
Speaker 1: veteran slot receiver, Isaiah McKenzie looks like he's going to

490
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,200
Speaker 1: have a larger role in this offense. And then James Cook,

491
00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:48,240
Speaker 1: as we've already discussed, looks like he is on the

492
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: fast track to make contributions in this offense in the

493
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:55,879
Speaker 1: passing game as well, somewhere along the way here this season,

494
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,760
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later. It would almost seem not they

495
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:00,399
Speaker 1: were wanting to get to ahead of ourselves. After just

496
00:24:00,480 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: two days of practice, he say, I don't care about

497
00:24:04,359 --> 00:24:07,600
Speaker 1: personal stats. It sounds like the only thing that Stefan

498
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,840
Speaker 1: Diggs and a lot of other veteran players have as

499
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:11,800
Speaker 1: number one on their listeners to win the whole dang

500
00:24:11,880 --> 00:24:16,720
Speaker 1: thing this year, and anything else is considered gravy. And

501
00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,119
Speaker 1: I have to say there is a laser focus that

502
00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 1: you kind of sense in a lot of these players,

503
00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:26,040
Speaker 1: particularly the veteran ones who have been on this roster

504
00:24:26,119 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and experienced coming up short

505
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:33,359
Speaker 1: in Kansas City each of the last two years. Diggs

506
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: also said when asked about James Cook specifically, what he

507
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,959
Speaker 1: was asked about was does he remind him at all

508
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,200
Speaker 1: of his older brother, Dalvin Cook, who, as we know,

509
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:45,760
Speaker 1: Stefon Diggs played with and was a teammate with in Minnesota.

510
00:24:46,200 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: And you heard Stefan speak glowingly about james older brother,

511
00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: Dalvin saying he thought he was the best all around

512
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,560
Speaker 1: running back in the league. He said he likes what

513
00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,800
Speaker 1: he sees from James Cook early and he said quote,

514
00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,720
Speaker 1: I think we've got a good one, but he said

515
00:25:04,760 --> 00:25:07,560
Speaker 1: he wants to see more. But he is not the

516
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 1: only veteran player on this roster that has been excited

517
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:14,880
Speaker 1: by what he's seen from James Cook in the early going.

518
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 1: All the way back in the spring, Center Mitch Morse,

519
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: just in reviewing practice film from the OTAs said he's

520
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: a stud and he got a lot of work today

521
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,440
Speaker 1: on day two when they were working a lot of

522
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:33,160
Speaker 1: third down plays. So I think there's a good chance

523
00:25:33,240 --> 00:25:35,359
Speaker 1: that he's going to be on a fast track to

524
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 1: contribute to this offense pretty early. Particularly in the passing game.

525
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:44,399
Speaker 1: He stands out he just does on the practice field,

526
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: so that is an interesting thing to keep an eye on.

527
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,800
Speaker 1: The other thing that happened and Josh Allen at the

528
00:25:51,840 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 1: center of this again we already heard about his affinity

529
00:25:55,000 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 1: for Turkey burghers. Apparently today during autograph signings, he snuck

530
00:26:00,600 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: up behind Dawson Knox and signed the back of his neck,

531
00:26:05,200 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 1: to which Dawson Knox apparently said, I could probably sell

532
00:26:08,119 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: my neck for a lot right now. We hope to

533
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: hear from Dawson Knox a little bit later on in

534
00:26:13,080 --> 00:26:15,280
Speaker 1: the show, as he scheduled to address the media as

535
00:26:15,359 --> 00:26:19,760
Speaker 1: well today. But for now, the other issue I wanted

536
00:26:19,800 --> 00:26:21,879
Speaker 1: to get to because I did mention James Cook, I

537
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: mentioned the other rookie, Khalil Shaker, shifty route runner is

538
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: making some plays here through the first two days. For

539
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 1: top draft choice kaye Elam, it's been a little bit

540
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:36,160
Speaker 1: of a baptism by fire facing some of the better

541
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: receivers on the roster like Stefon Diggs and others. Josh

542
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,280
Speaker 1: Allen and Stefon Diggs went right at him early in

543
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 1: the team segments today and while kayre Elam isn't giving

544
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:49,200
Speaker 1: up big plays or anything. He is having trouble staying

545
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:53,159
Speaker 1: plastered to a receiver like Stefon Diggs. A rookie against

546
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 1: an all pro receiver, you're gonna expect that somewhat. But

547
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,600
Speaker 1: I think that's the fastest way for kaye Elam to

548
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: get better. Play the best of the best and know

549
00:27:02,320 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 1: what you're gonna be up against each and every sunday

550
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 1: in this league as a rookie. So I also believe this.

551
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: The pads have not gone on yet, and I think

552
00:27:12,280 --> 00:27:16,119
Speaker 1: the strength of kaye Elam's game right now is his

553
00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: physical press style, and you really can't employ that in

554
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:26,120
Speaker 1: its purest sense when you don't have pads on yet.

555
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,680
Speaker 1: So I think when the pads go on later this week,

556
00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:35,960
Speaker 1: we will see a difference in kayre Elam's down to

557
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:39,760
Speaker 1: down performance. I'm not saying he's struggling by any means,

558
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,639
Speaker 1: but I think there are some things that he's learning

559
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: on the fly that are allowing some plays here and

560
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,879
Speaker 1: there to be made against him. So something to keep

561
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: an eye on in the coming days to see if

562
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,359
Speaker 1: he kind of gets it and is quicker on the

563
00:27:54,480 --> 00:28:00,760
Speaker 1: uptake with each passing day. Rotating people through at the

564
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: left guard position right now with Roger staffold sideline with

565
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:07,080
Speaker 1: the rib injury, so they continue to roll people through

566
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: over there among the names Cody Ford, David Kessenberry. So

567
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:16,359
Speaker 1: that's just I would tend to think a stopgap maneuver

568
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,120
Speaker 1: at this point, but we'll have to wait and see

569
00:28:18,520 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: where that goes. And another player who has impressed me.

570
00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: Two defensive players in particularly Von Miller, who looks regular

571
00:28:28,080 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 1: season ready right now, just in you know, you don't

572
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,880
Speaker 1: really get an appreciation for a player until you're right

573
00:28:35,040 --> 00:28:37,640
Speaker 1: up on them. And I kind of learned this from

574
00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 1: bill scouts over the years. They say, well, why do

575
00:28:40,840 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: they have to know what their body type is? It's

576
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: pretty important in assessing or projecting how good a player

577
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: is going to be. So I try to be mindful

578
00:28:49,280 --> 00:28:51,520
Speaker 1: of these things when I'm finally up close on the

579
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:55,000
Speaker 1: sidelines near a player. And the thing that stands out

580
00:28:55,040 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 1: about Von Miller his levers are muscle up to the hilt,

581
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:06,680
Speaker 1: his arms are all dieseled up, and then his thighs.

582
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: There is so much muscle tissue through his quads and

583
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: his hamstrings. It explains why this guy is as explosive

584
00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,720
Speaker 1: as he is and is the best pass rusher of

585
00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:25,720
Speaker 1: his generation. His explosion today was readily noticeable off the snap.

586
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: You know, it's like he's shot out of a cannon,

587
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:33,560
Speaker 1: and so seeing that, and believe me, in team segments

588
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,239
Speaker 1: today he won more than his share. He actually had

589
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: to pull up so fast that he had to fall

590
00:29:39,560 --> 00:29:42,360
Speaker 1: on the ground to avoid hitting Josh Allen in the

591
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 1: pocket because as we know, they're all wearing red. Jersey's

592
00:29:45,160 --> 00:29:50,200
Speaker 1: quarterbacks are untouchables, and Vaughan was basically getting there just

593
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,600
Speaker 1: as Josh was stepping up in the pocket, and he

594
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 1: wisely avoided a collision. So really impressed with what we've

595
00:29:57,600 --> 00:30:00,800
Speaker 1: seen early from von Miller, that's no surprise. The most

596
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 1: encouraging one is Jordan Phillips. Jordan Phillips, who had a

597
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: nine and a half sack season the last time he

598
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: was here in twenty nineteen. Leslie Frasier said today he

599
00:30:10,920 --> 00:30:13,880
Speaker 1: believes he's capable of a ten sacks season this year

600
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:16,600
Speaker 1: because of the shape in which he has reported to

601
00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:19,440
Speaker 1: in training camp. First guy in the weight room this morning,

602
00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:22,640
Speaker 1: Leslie Frasier was also saying how he is in fantastic

603
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,520
Speaker 1: physical shape and you can see it on the field.

604
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,200
Speaker 1: There is a spring in his step. There is an

605
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: explosion that I don't even know if we always saw

606
00:30:29,280 --> 00:30:32,800
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen, it is there. He is regular season

607
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:36,120
Speaker 1: ready right now, So really encourage about what Jordan Phillips

608
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:37,840
Speaker 1: is going to be able to bring to the table

609
00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,280
Speaker 1: on the defensive line for this team. We are going

610
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: to take a break here because when we come back,

611
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 1: we hope to have Bills General Manager Brandon Bean joining

612
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,360
Speaker 1: us right here on set on the campus of Saint

613
00:30:48,440 --> 00:30:51,440
Speaker 1: John Fisher University at Bills training camp. It's One Bills Live,

614
00:30:51,520 --> 00:31:12,720
Speaker 1: presented by Colloida Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right,

615
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 1: welcome back to One Bill's Live. Chris Ground here with you.

616
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:17,520
Speaker 1: Steve Tasker will be out here at training camp tomorrow.

617
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: He's stuck in Denver. Flight I canceled yesterday. He's supposed

618
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: to be on a plane today, so hopefully he'll be

619
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: back here and joining us out at training camp tomorrow.

620
00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:31,000
Speaker 1: We were we're waiting on the arrival of GM Brandon Bean,

621
00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: So while we do that, we are gonna show you

622
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox addressing the media today. We'll get his comments

623
00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 1: on how it feels to have the back of his

624
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: neck signed by Josh Allen. Here is Dawson Knox. I

625
00:31:44,320 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 1: just thought someone writing something on my neck because I

626
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,120
Speaker 1: was signing stuff I tie around Josh and just getting

627
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,200
Speaker 1: after it. So probably something neck for a lot now,

628
00:31:51,360 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: huh said you're going to a destination wedding in the summer.

629
00:31:57,200 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: Y did you do that? Yeah? Yeah, I had a

630
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:02,520
Speaker 1: wedding and Mexico for my buddy jj R. Sega Whiteside

631
00:32:02,560 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: plays for the Eagles. It's a great time. Mexico is

632
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,840
Speaker 1: always fun, good weather, so it was. It was fun.

633
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 1: This is your first time here though, right second time

634
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 1: it was nineteen. Why do you if you do? I

635
00:32:17,120 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 1: think it's important to be in a setting like this

636
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:21,560
Speaker 1: versus back at Buffalo for UM. I think it just

637
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 1: helps the team come together a little bit better, especially

638
00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: with guys that have families and kids, Like you know,

639
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 1: I don't have a wife for kids or anything, so

640
00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:31,720
Speaker 1: I'm by myself anyway. But when you can kind of

641
00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: get away and get more alone time with the guys,

642
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:37,960
Speaker 1: whether it's during the off time in the dorms, playing

643
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,760
Speaker 1: card games and board games, or really just being away

644
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,640
Speaker 1: from everything and focusing on football, I think it kind

645
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:47,320
Speaker 1: of helps that chemistry build a little quicker talked a

646
00:32:47,400 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 1: lot of members of the offense aton about you know,

647
00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:52,480
Speaker 1: can taking over or whatever for your perspective, Well, we

648
00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,360
Speaker 1: know there's a lot of carry over when you promote

649
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:58,840
Speaker 1: them within like that. UM talk about God, I guess,

650
00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,480
Speaker 1: and maybe what's different what you guys are adjusting to do. Yeah,

651
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:05,320
Speaker 1: a whole lot of carryover. Um. He knows exactly what

652
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: Josh likes because he's been his quarterback coach for the

653
00:33:08,200 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: last few years. UM, I don't want to give away

654
00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:12,720
Speaker 1: any trade secrets right now. I know you guys don't

655
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 1: want me to do that either. UM. So I'm going

656
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:15,480
Speaker 1: to keep a lot of the stuff in the house.

657
00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 1: But there's definitely some cool twists that we're working on. Um.

658
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,800
Speaker 1: It's fun having guys like oj in the room. Um,

659
00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:22,520
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a lot of diversity, a lot of

660
00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: versatility with the with the position now. So, UM, there's

661
00:33:27,080 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: gonna be a lot of cool stuff that's added. But

662
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: he's keeping a lot of the stuff the same too.

663
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:34,440
Speaker 1: What kind of diversity does Okay bring you? What do

664
00:33:34,480 --> 00:33:36,960
Speaker 1: you see there? I mean, he's a freak athlete. First

665
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: of all. He makes me feel small. I mean, the

666
00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:42,520
Speaker 1: dude's like, you know, six six, his arms are massive. Um,

667
00:33:43,200 --> 00:33:45,080
Speaker 1: just having another weapon like that, it's just gonna make

668
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 1: us that much harder to stop. So I think he's

669
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: just gonna push me to be better too. I think

670
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,320
Speaker 1: the better the room is as a whole, the better

671
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: each individual is gonna be as well. But it's gonna

672
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:57,600
Speaker 1: be fun to bring us in, run the ball some

673
00:33:57,840 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: then spread us out, get us good matchups on linebackers.

674
00:34:01,560 --> 00:34:03,640
Speaker 1: So it's just an extra piece that you know, it's

675
00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,640
Speaker 1: gonna be a nightmare to defend for a defense. It

676
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,719
Speaker 1: is a matchup issue for defense, right when you vote,

677
00:34:08,880 --> 00:34:10,840
Speaker 1: oh yeah, we can't wait. It's gonna be a nightmare

678
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,880
Speaker 1: for a lot of defenses. Is there an acclamation period

679
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,520
Speaker 1: that it goes with all this new, as you say,

680
00:34:16,600 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: fun stuff that you're doing to learn it? And yeah,

681
00:34:20,200 --> 00:34:22,480
Speaker 1: And a lot of that acclamation period was during OTAs,

682
00:34:22,600 --> 00:34:25,640
Speaker 1: which we already knocked out with Mini Campum. We already

683
00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:28,560
Speaker 1: started in solid stuff back in April. Um, so a

684
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,319
Speaker 1: lot of this stuff is stuff we've already been going

685
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:32,080
Speaker 1: over for a few months now, and now we just

686
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: get to kind of run around and do a full

687
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,440
Speaker 1: speed which I've always been the type of learner where

688
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 1: I need to go out and actually do it to

689
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: kind of get it to click in my head. So, um,

690
00:34:40,960 --> 00:34:42,320
Speaker 1: you know, over the next few weeks, it's gonna be

691
00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:45,719
Speaker 1: huge for us to start developing that playbook now that

692
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:48,160
Speaker 1: you've kind of become the veteran in the tight end room.

693
00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 1: I know, we were just talking to Dakes and he

694
00:34:49,719 --> 00:34:51,800
Speaker 1: was like, I only push people who I think you know,

695
00:34:51,960 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: I couldn't get something out of it, how do you. Um,

696
00:34:55,480 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 1: I think it's important to take guys kind of one

697
00:34:57,280 --> 00:35:00,200
Speaker 1: on one, whether it's in the locker room or kind

698
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:03,600
Speaker 1: of to the side during practice. I've never been like

699
00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:06,440
Speaker 1: the raw ra guy in the huddle, but I think

700
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:09,080
Speaker 1: it's important just to make sure guys are doing well

701
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: mentally too, because I know when I was a rookie,

702
00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: my head was spinning. I just didn't want to go

703
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,080
Speaker 1: mess up. I wasn't thinking about going and making plays

704
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,239
Speaker 1: or doing something good for the offense. I was thinking about, oh,

705
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:19,840
Speaker 1: just make sure you're in the right position at the

706
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,719
Speaker 1: right time. So I think just making sure guys are

707
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:24,759
Speaker 1: kind of bought into what we have going here and

708
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,520
Speaker 1: just making sure they're doing good in the mental aspect

709
00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:31,200
Speaker 1: of their game is huge. All right, that's Jouston Knox

710
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 1: addressing the media here today. We will take a break

711
00:35:33,760 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: here because when we come back, we'll have general manager

712
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,480
Speaker 1: Brandon being here on One Bill's Line, presented by Kalid

713
00:35:38,480 --> 00:36:03,040
Speaker 1: to Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back

714
00:36:03,080 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 1: to One Bill's Live here at Saint John Fisher University

715
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,279
Speaker 1: training Camp, day two, and joining us here on the

716
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:12,080
Speaker 1: show is Bills general manager Brandon Bean. Brandon, thanks for

717
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:16,960
Speaker 1: giving us some time. Day two, much like day one,

718
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:20,120
Speaker 1: I want to say, I can remember this from twenty nineteen.

719
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 1: So day one a camp, Sean gets him jumping right

720
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 1: into red zone. Day one a camp in like twenty nineteen.

721
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:27,399
Speaker 1: I want to say, I don't know why that's sticking

722
00:36:27,440 --> 00:36:29,839
Speaker 1: in my head. And sure enough here again Day one

723
00:36:29,960 --> 00:36:32,400
Speaker 1: right into red zone. Today was heavy third down stuff?

724
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:34,719
Speaker 1: Is there? I mean, I know there's a reason why

725
00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:37,319
Speaker 1: Sean does everything. There is nothing that is not thought through.

726
00:36:38,239 --> 00:36:41,360
Speaker 1: Knowing the methodical guy. He is why red zone and

727
00:36:41,760 --> 00:36:44,480
Speaker 1: third down early on, particularly third and short. Is that

728
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: just to keep the routes shorter so they're not doing

729
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:49,040
Speaker 1: so much running right out of the gator or there

730
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:51,520
Speaker 1: other reasons, Well, I think it's there's multiple it is.

731
00:36:51,600 --> 00:36:54,000
Speaker 1: You do want to monitor the reps and we're trying

732
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: to ramp these guys up. But third down and red

733
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:59,000
Speaker 1: zone a lot of games are one and lost on

734
00:36:59,080 --> 00:37:03,000
Speaker 1: those twenty day so uh, it's a quick uh you know,

735
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: you can Shaun can stand up there all day and stress, hey,

736
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,080
Speaker 1: we've got to be good here. We got to be

737
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:08,840
Speaker 1: good here, and the guys are like, oh, we got it,

738
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: we we got it, well do you? And so let's

739
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:13,800
Speaker 1: go out here early. So it's a it can be

740
00:37:13,840 --> 00:37:15,880
Speaker 1: a good wake up call for one side of the

741
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 1: ball or you know, and yesterday I think you know,

742
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 1: the defense for sure, but red zones hard, you know,

743
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 1: it is more advantageous. There's just less territory for those

744
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, receivers to move around. But um, it was

745
00:37:26,680 --> 00:37:29,120
Speaker 1: a good wake up caller. One's thought at our offense

746
00:37:29,160 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 1: of hey, it's it's not gonna be easy when you

747
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 1: get down here, and it's gotta be we gotta be

748
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,839
Speaker 1: efficient down there. We've when we've been good down there,

749
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: we've been really hard to stop. It broke the ice

750
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:40,879
Speaker 1: on the transactions, which are inevitable this time of year.

751
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: Jordan Simmons mostly a guard So what what what was

752
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 1: the appeal there? And is this in kind of relation

753
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:51,880
Speaker 1: to the Roger staffold situation. Ye. You know, we always

754
00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:55,239
Speaker 1: line up some workouts leading up to camp or uh

755
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,600
Speaker 1: right when we get here, and this year with just

756
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 1: the early start and when we wanted to ring our

757
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,520
Speaker 1: people back, we decided to do it after the first practice,

758
00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,399
Speaker 1: So a lot of these were lined up before then.

759
00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,960
Speaker 1: And you kind of you know, Murphy's law, something's going

760
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:12,520
Speaker 1: to happen with h and we'd love to sign more.

761
00:38:12,560 --> 00:38:14,880
Speaker 1: You know, we lost and Ku, but we only had

762
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: one spot right now. We'll see how he's It's a

763
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,280
Speaker 1: balancing act because when you now that we're at ninety,

764
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, you get more people hurt got you gotta

765
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:26,399
Speaker 1: thin a position to fill that and now that gets thin.

766
00:38:26,560 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 1: So we try and weigh that and make the best decisions.

767
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,000
Speaker 1: There is an interesting give and take. So Von talks

768
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 1: to the media yesterday and says, I'll do whatever this

769
00:38:37,560 --> 00:38:39,480
Speaker 1: team asked me, but I want snatch. I want to

770
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,439
Speaker 1: be on the field. He's used to being on the field. Yeah,

771
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 1: And then Leslie spoke today and was asked about that

772
00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 1: very subject and he said, Look, we've got a rotational system.

773
00:38:48,200 --> 00:38:50,719
Speaker 1: We've had our conversations with Von, we know where we

774
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:53,360
Speaker 1: need to be with that. My take from it is

775
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:57,120
Speaker 1: it's a whole lot of nothing like. Yeah, I think

776
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:59,080
Speaker 1: they're going to be able to figure out when Von

777
00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 1: needs to be on. Yeah, Leslie Fraser has been doing

778
00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 1: this a while. Yeah, that'll take care of itself. Every

779
00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:06,319
Speaker 1: game is its own game. I mean you may think

780
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,560
Speaker 1: you think going in the game it's gonna play out

781
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: like this. How many times does it play out differently?

782
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:15,000
Speaker 1: And so you know, we want Vaughan to definitely be

783
00:39:15,080 --> 00:39:17,560
Speaker 1: in there when we need him, and ultimately we're gonna

784
00:39:17,600 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: need him down the stretch too, so it'll be that balance.

785
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:21,960
Speaker 1: But he'll be involved. I mean, he's a vet. He

786
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 1: knows his body, he knows what he needs from practice

787
00:39:24,760 --> 00:39:28,440
Speaker 1: reps to game reps, and you can guarantee if if

788
00:39:28,520 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: he's up and healthy, that you know he's gonna be

789
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: in the game when we need stops, you know, two minute,

790
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:37,160
Speaker 1: last minute, you know, of a game half whatever it is,

791
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 1: you can expect number forty to be out there. And

792
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:42,200
Speaker 1: I know I don't have the train guy like you

793
00:39:42,280 --> 00:39:46,520
Speaker 1: and your scouting department due, but he looks regular season ready. Now. Yeah. Yeah,

794
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: he loves ball and he trains and this is this

795
00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:55,000
Speaker 1: is you know, it's a profession, but he enjoys the

796
00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 1: heck out of it. He enjoys the process. He works out.

797
00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,239
Speaker 1: You could see, you know, he was in and out

798
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,560
Speaker 1: of the offseason program. But when he was there, it's

799
00:40:02,600 --> 00:40:04,520
Speaker 1: not like we had to ramp him up. He was

800
00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,680
Speaker 1: working where he was, whether it was La or whether

801
00:40:06,680 --> 00:40:09,239
Speaker 1: it was Texas. So he looks, he looks good and

802
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 1: ready to roll. And it's been fun to see him.

803
00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:14,839
Speaker 1: I know you and the coaching staff have been big

804
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:18,279
Speaker 1: on position flexibility. We understand the obvious value in that,

805
00:40:18,440 --> 00:40:22,680
Speaker 1: whether it's offensive line or elsewhere. And we see Tommy

806
00:40:22,760 --> 00:40:26,040
Speaker 1: Doyle moving around a little bit and Nick McLeod, we

807
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,360
Speaker 1: see him moving around a little bit. Can you just

808
00:40:28,560 --> 00:40:34,040
Speaker 1: maybe I guess the question here is how do you decide, Hey,

809
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:38,120
Speaker 1: like Nick mcleoud, for example, let's try him here because

810
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,040
Speaker 1: of this reason? Is there, Like I'm curious the decision

811
00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: making proce ins and saying let's try him here and

812
00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:46,799
Speaker 1: see how it goes. Yeah, we talked about Nick back

813
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:50,440
Speaker 1: in the spring of you know, with his ball skills,

814
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:54,600
Speaker 1: his instincts that his final resting spot at some point

815
00:40:54,640 --> 00:40:57,479
Speaker 1: in this league may be safety, and so we moved

816
00:40:57,560 --> 00:41:00,919
Speaker 1: him there. Now he's a really strong press or off

817
00:41:01,280 --> 00:41:04,160
Speaker 1: is not gonna be um his strength right now, he's

818
00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:06,440
Speaker 1: working on it, and uh, same as some of the

819
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:09,440
Speaker 1: other guys. But so he in the next thing. You

820
00:41:09,480 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 1: got to ask them are they smart enough to be

821
00:41:11,920 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 1: able to transition in the same practice, And um, he's

822
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,839
Speaker 1: got really good instincts, really good ball skills. We've seen

823
00:41:17,920 --> 00:41:19,799
Speaker 1: that for two years, you know, back to last year

824
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,560
Speaker 1: we had him before Cincinnati claimed him, and um, he's

825
00:41:22,560 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: done a great job. He's a he's just a humble, great,

826
00:41:24,719 --> 00:41:27,280
Speaker 1: hard working kid. You you could put him at linebacker

827
00:41:27,440 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 1: and uh, he's gonna find him way to make a play.

828
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,120
Speaker 1: And you know, it's just he's just one of those kids.

829
00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: He knows he's got a knack for being around the ball.

830
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: Had two picks today. One kind of fell into his lap,

831
00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,120
Speaker 1: but the other one, well, there was a little there

832
00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: was a little disagreement as to whether there was a

833
00:41:40,880 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 1: little dpi there. Remember where the ball got Number seventeen

834
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 1: came over arguing we need we need officials here. That

835
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:48,120
Speaker 1: was and I said it was a bang bang play.

836
00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 1: You could see it going either way. Um, James Cook

837
00:41:52,040 --> 00:41:56,480
Speaker 1: has impressed early and and not just fans that are watching,

838
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,799
Speaker 1: but it's veteran players on this roster Brandon that are

839
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: I mean, Mitch Morris was talking about him all the

840
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:04,440
Speaker 1: way back in the spring. He called him a stud.

841
00:42:04,760 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 1: I mean that's that's a big compliment coming from a

842
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 1: six seven year guy that's seen a lot of football.

843
00:42:10,120 --> 00:42:11,800
Speaker 1: And he's seen him for all the two weeks and

844
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:14,720
Speaker 1: he's like, this guy's gonna help us. And then Stefan

845
00:42:14,880 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: was just asked today because he knows his older brother Dalvin,

846
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:19,360
Speaker 1: he was a teammate of his. He said, hey, do

847
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:21,319
Speaker 1: you see a little of Dalvin and James And he goes,

848
00:42:22,120 --> 00:42:25,880
Speaker 1: they look similar and he believes that James is on

849
00:42:25,960 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 1: a fast track to help this team. I know we're

850
00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:30,880
Speaker 1: only two days in. I don't want to get ahead

851
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:35,720
Speaker 1: of ourselves here, but he stands out. Yeah, he's he's

852
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 1: got he's very smooth, he's got really good ball skills

853
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 1: and he's just I talked about instincts with McCloud. You

854
00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:43,640
Speaker 1: either got it or you don't. You played ball, you

855
00:42:43,680 --> 00:42:45,840
Speaker 1: grew up James has been around ball. Obviously, he's had

856
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 1: an older brother and others in his family. You can

857
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:51,720
Speaker 1: tell this kid played a lot of backyard football before

858
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:54,920
Speaker 1: he ever played for teams growing up and obviously on

859
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:58,200
Speaker 1: to Georgia. He's just, uh, he loves ball, he loves

860
00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:01,279
Speaker 1: the process, and he's a cookie. So you know, we

861
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:03,279
Speaker 1: don't want to blow it up too big. He's gonna

862
00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:05,879
Speaker 1: have to earn it. But um, it's not too big

863
00:43:05,960 --> 00:43:07,880
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, you can. You can sometimes tell when

864
00:43:07,920 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 1: guys get out of here, well, we're gonna slow down

865
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 1: here a little bit. This is this is a lot much.

866
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:14,200
Speaker 1: It's it's natural for him. He's fitting right in, whether

867
00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,760
Speaker 1: he's running with the ones or the twos. You mentioned

868
00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: some of the younger guys adjusting in the defensive backgroup

869
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:23,720
Speaker 1: to playing off coverage and stuff. Would you put Kier

870
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,600
Speaker 1: in that category knowing that when you were scouting him.

871
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 1: Is I think you even said it after you draft him.

872
00:43:29,520 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: His strength is press man, yep, So he's gonna have

873
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,680
Speaker 1: to learn the other stuff. So this is we're seeing

874
00:43:34,760 --> 00:43:37,000
Speaker 1: some of that now because you saw Josh and Stefan

875
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,080
Speaker 1: going right at him early in team today. Yeah, no

876
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,160
Speaker 1: doubt he's gonna have to learn all the uh these

877
00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 1: guys have at this level, great releases, especially when you're

878
00:43:46,000 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 1: going against Stefan Dick. I mean, his releases are elite.

879
00:43:50,560 --> 00:43:52,799
Speaker 1: It's what makes him. I mean, he's got a lot

880
00:43:52,840 --> 00:43:56,040
Speaker 1: of their skills. But getting off press is huge, especially

881
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:57,520
Speaker 1: when you play some of these teams that do so

882
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: much press man. So yeah, that's you know we talked

883
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:03,080
Speaker 1: about in the off season with the rules, you know,

884
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:05,480
Speaker 1: the way they were, he got a lot of work

885
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 1: in off coverage and I think it's getting better. That's

886
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,880
Speaker 1: just something time reps. Something he wasn't asked to do

887
00:44:10,960 --> 00:44:14,239
Speaker 1: as much at Florida that you know. Again, we'll try

888
00:44:14,239 --> 00:44:15,719
Speaker 1: to put him in his strengths too. We're not going

889
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: to have him in off coverage eighty percent of the

890
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:21,120
Speaker 1: time if he's best in press, and so it'll be

891
00:44:21,120 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 1: a little mixed. But you don't want to always tell

892
00:44:23,200 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 1: the offense, you know, anytime Kier's out there, he's always

893
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:28,040
Speaker 1: in press. So he'll continue to work. But I think

894
00:44:28,080 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 1: he's done a nice job. Something tells me he's gonna

895
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,680
Speaker 1: show up a little bit more too. When you guys

896
00:44:31,719 --> 00:44:33,719
Speaker 1: put the pants on. Yeah, yeah, I mean all this

897
00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:35,719
Speaker 1: is this is the thing we have to all this

898
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:40,000
Speaker 1: is still in T shirt shorts right. The other thing

899
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 1: Jamison Crowder, Okay, just minor stuff here, like he missed today.

900
00:44:45,360 --> 00:44:47,520
Speaker 1: I saw him on the bike. He's good or yeah,

901
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:51,200
Speaker 1: he's just got some some tightness soreness. So hopefully we

902
00:44:51,320 --> 00:44:53,160
Speaker 1: can get him back out here in the next few days.

903
00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:56,160
Speaker 1: And then how people keep asking how far away is

904
00:44:56,239 --> 00:44:58,960
Speaker 1: Spencer from full practice? We see him out there. He's

905
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,880
Speaker 1: doing individual position and drills. He's even doing some walkthrough

906
00:45:01,920 --> 00:45:05,080
Speaker 1: with team. Is he closer? Yeah, I mean we're just

907
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:07,080
Speaker 1: trying to ramp him up the right way. He you know,

908
00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:09,760
Speaker 1: he had a limited spring. Um, he didn't do anything

909
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,640
Speaker 1: on the field in the spring because of his back,

910
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,560
Speaker 1: you know, a procedure done there. So uh, he's he's progressing.

911
00:45:16,760 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 1: He's just under kind of a build up since he

912
00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,400
Speaker 1: you know, he was more rehabbing than going through a

913
00:45:22,480 --> 00:45:24,759
Speaker 1: full off season program like so many of these guys went.

914
00:45:25,080 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 1: And so we're just trying to be smart and it's

915
00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,040
Speaker 1: not that you're worried about the injury had, it's just

916
00:45:29,120 --> 00:45:30,800
Speaker 1: building the rest of his body up. So it's a

917
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:34,440
Speaker 1: strengthened endurance thing. It's a strengthened endurance. Just build him up, stairstep.

918
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:36,560
Speaker 1: You don't want to rush him out there. But he's

919
00:45:36,600 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 1: doing great. Uh. You know you always want to know,

920
00:45:38,960 --> 00:45:40,520
Speaker 1: how did you do that first practice? I saw him

921
00:45:40,600 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 1: last nine, he said it felt good. I was ready

922
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 1: to do more. You know they're holding back a little bit.

923
00:45:44,600 --> 00:45:46,440
Speaker 1: I mean he looks, I mean he looks felt him

924
00:45:46,480 --> 00:45:50,640
Speaker 1: and Tommy Doyle like. It's amazing when you see once

925
00:45:51,239 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: a young player has had a full off season in

926
00:45:53,400 --> 00:45:56,279
Speaker 1: an NFL program, especially like the one we have here

927
00:45:56,320 --> 00:45:59,960
Speaker 1: with Siano and company, like the transfer me like, boogie

928
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 1: bash him. It looks like a different person. Bogie, I

929
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,919
Speaker 1: mean Rousseau's filling out, but I mean Tommy looks trim

930
00:46:06,360 --> 00:46:09,839
Speaker 1: um so dispelling. It's amazing. The tramp, the body composition

931
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: changes that you can make if you're a professional. You know,

932
00:46:13,480 --> 00:46:15,319
Speaker 1: you know they're not having to do classes. It's it's

933
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,759
Speaker 1: there that our staff is there. And I'm sure other

934
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:20,399
Speaker 1: NFL clubs would say the same. It's what you want

935
00:46:20,440 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: to do. How much do you want to invest in

936
00:46:22,160 --> 00:46:24,600
Speaker 1: in your in your body and get it, you know,

937
00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:27,919
Speaker 1: as prime as you can, whether it's losing weight, whether

938
00:46:27,960 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 1: it's gaining strength. Whatever you need, wherever you come in,

939
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: we can put you on a program. In a year,

940
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:35,680
Speaker 1: you can see a lot of growth. Last guy I

941
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:38,120
Speaker 1: wanted to ask you about, and and Leslie did talk

942
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,120
Speaker 1: about him today too, is Jordan Phillips. I mean, we

943
00:46:41,640 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 1: remember the nine and a half sat guy that was

944
00:46:43,640 --> 00:46:48,520
Speaker 1: here in twenty nineteen, and it's probably hard to readily

945
00:46:48,640 --> 00:46:52,560
Speaker 1: recognize it on a frame that large, but he looks

946
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:57,520
Speaker 1: fit too, and there seems to be an explosion um

947
00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,319
Speaker 1: here in camp to his game that might be even

948
00:47:01,400 --> 00:47:03,000
Speaker 1: better than the last time we saw him in a

949
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:06,080
Speaker 1: Bill's uniform. And Leslie was singing his praises this morning.

950
00:47:06,200 --> 00:47:09,800
Speaker 1: First guy in the weight room this morning. Um. Siano

951
00:47:09,840 --> 00:47:12,200
Speaker 1: gave him a glowing report when he got back when

952
00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:13,960
Speaker 1: he was away for five weeks, which I know with

953
00:47:14,080 --> 00:47:17,560
Speaker 1: bigger guys sometimes you say, hey, you know, don't because

954
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,879
Speaker 1: those guys can get game fifteen pounds in a day

955
00:47:19,920 --> 00:47:22,399
Speaker 1: and it's like nothing. I feel like I can too. Well,

956
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:26,960
Speaker 1: I'm not that far off myself. He's done. He's done

957
00:47:26,960 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 1: a great job though, to your to your point, Jordan, Um,

958
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 1: he came back with this calm confidence that um, you

959
00:47:35,120 --> 00:47:38,280
Speaker 1: know He's always been confident, but he just the maturity

960
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:40,680
Speaker 1: level has risen and he's just been such a pro.

961
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 1: And you know you saw in the spring like he

962
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,600
Speaker 1: picked up like he had never left and just encouraging

963
00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:48,160
Speaker 1: the young guys and hustling to the ball. I mean today,

964
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,239
Speaker 1: makes a great play, h Josh gets uh. You know,

965
00:47:51,400 --> 00:47:54,360
Speaker 1: Vaughan comes up high, Josh Gipps under goes out to

966
00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:58,960
Speaker 1: his left and Jordan loops around behind Vaughan and is

967
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 1: right there and you know Josh wuad have got it away,

968
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:02,920
Speaker 1: but he probably would have been a hit on the

969
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:05,880
Speaker 1: quarterback and that that goes to his hustle and in

970
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:08,200
Speaker 1: his effort. When you have we have a little more

971
00:48:08,239 --> 00:48:11,880
Speaker 1: time when we have veteran players who if you've scouted

972
00:48:11,960 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 1: on film and then you say, Okay, this is a

973
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 1: guy we wouldn't mind acquiring, and then you get them

974
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:19,560
Speaker 1: here and obviously you want to see how they fit here.

975
00:48:20,040 --> 00:48:22,400
Speaker 1: But there are parts, I think, to a guy like O. J.

976
00:48:22,560 --> 00:48:27,239
Speaker 1: Howard's game where you're waiting to see because he's been

977
00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 1: off the field so much with previous injuries. So if

978
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:33,600
Speaker 1: there is if there is a short list of what

979
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:37,319
Speaker 1: he needs to demonstrate due to the time that he's

980
00:48:37,400 --> 00:48:41,520
Speaker 1: missed here. What would you say those elements of his

981
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:45,000
Speaker 1: game are, Yeah, I think just um, first off, you know,

982
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,480
Speaker 1: tight ends or they got two rolls, they got a

983
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 1: block and they've got to you know, he's got really

984
00:48:50,800 --> 00:48:53,719
Speaker 1: good hands. He's a build up speed guy. He can

985
00:48:53,880 --> 00:48:55,320
Speaker 1: he can get up and roll, and he's just a

986
00:48:55,440 --> 00:48:58,520
Speaker 1: huge target in the middle of the field. He's got that. Um.

987
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,160
Speaker 1: I would say, prove his point of attack blocking like

988
00:49:02,480 --> 00:49:05,120
Speaker 1: just and it's not terrible, I've you know, it's it's

989
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 1: it's just he can take another step there. And then

990
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,120
Speaker 1: I mean, if you look where Dawson's come as a

991
00:49:10,160 --> 00:49:12,840
Speaker 1: point of attack blocker in his time here, he's really

992
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:15,520
Speaker 1: improved to be a three down player. You're not just

993
00:49:15,560 --> 00:49:17,960
Speaker 1: putting him out there passing downs. I would say continue

994
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:20,680
Speaker 1: to do that. And then just the feel of our offense,

995
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:24,280
Speaker 1: that feel of when Josh you know, or Case whoever's

996
00:49:24,280 --> 00:49:27,360
Speaker 1: in there wants you to sit down. Just that that

997
00:49:27,560 --> 00:49:30,080
Speaker 1: feel of the zone, you know, finding those holes in

998
00:49:30,160 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 1: those creases in how the route combinations are, which just

999
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:36,880
Speaker 1: takes time and takes reps. And then explosion thing is

1000
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:38,600
Speaker 1: that something you got to keep an eye on like,

1001
00:49:38,719 --> 00:49:41,480
Speaker 1: I mean, I know he's over a year removed from

1002
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,839
Speaker 1: the Achilles, but that's always something you're looking for after

1003
00:49:44,960 --> 00:49:47,120
Speaker 1: an injury like that, right, like can it come back?

1004
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:49,239
Speaker 1: Is it the same? That kind of thing, No doubt

1005
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:53,000
Speaker 1: he's he's always been a built When he's at top end,

1006
00:49:53,040 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: he's really rolling, I'm seeing that, Like, I don't know

1007
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 1: if he's always had that first step just because he's

1008
00:49:57,760 --> 00:49:59,839
Speaker 1: such a big so he's a build up. See, he's

1009
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:03,160
Speaker 1: of a build up speed than that instant. But when

1010
00:50:03,239 --> 00:50:06,960
Speaker 1: he's up in rolling. I mean, you know Rob Gronkowski

1011
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:09,080
Speaker 1: didn't have that, but right when he's up in rolling.

1012
00:50:09,400 --> 00:50:11,680
Speaker 1: And I'm not comparing those two guys. I'm just saying,

1013
00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,400
Speaker 1: you can. You can be a force even if you

1014
00:50:14,440 --> 00:50:18,319
Speaker 1: don't have that instant. He's just such a big body, tall, long.

1015
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:20,680
Speaker 1: It just sometimes it takes those guys that aren't as

1016
00:50:20,719 --> 00:50:23,000
Speaker 1: load of the ground. You know, they don't have that

1017
00:50:23,080 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 1: initial burst. Now, well, when Josh calls him a big guy,

1018
00:50:25,719 --> 00:50:27,440
Speaker 1: you know he must be big. So he's a big

1019
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:29,839
Speaker 1: he's a big man. You know. Being around him, you know, man,

1020
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,160
Speaker 1: I knew oj was big and we scouted him in

1021
00:50:32,200 --> 00:50:35,279
Speaker 1: the process, but he feels even bigger. Now. All right,

1022
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,400
Speaker 1: well listen, we appreciate the time as always, thanks for

1023

Speaker 1: stopping by and joining us here. We look forward to

1024

Speaker 1: the line. But enjoy the rest of training camp and

1026
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:45,799
Speaker 1: uh we'll hear from you soon. Tell Tasker we're finding

1027
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 1: him for a no show. That well yeah, well yeah,

1028
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:52,040
Speaker 1: he gets its fifty thousand for players. Since he's an

1029
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,320
Speaker 1: ex player, we're gonna give him a third of that,

1030
00:50:54,560 --> 00:50:58,640
Speaker 1: So start doing the math. Tali Josis. Yeah we were hey,

1031
00:50:58,719 --> 00:51:00,760
Speaker 1: we were just happy with a freelo punch, But okay,

1032
00:51:01,719 --> 00:51:03,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be a bargain. He's gonna be in the

1033
00:51:03,600 --> 00:51:05,880
Speaker 1: kitchen working off his meals since he didn't well have

1034
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 1: him flipping turkey burgers. That's thanks, bred appreciate you got

1035
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:11,200
Speaker 1: it all right. We gotta take a break here. Our

1036
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 1: number two though coming your way next here on one

1037
00:51:13,200 --> 00:51:15,560
Speaker 1: Bill's Live, presented by Collid to Health, It's Buffalo Bills

1038
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:37,880
Speaker 1: Radio at a Steve Taster who has been all over

1039
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:39,640
Speaker 1: the fields. Kind of unique. He was kind of a

1040
00:51:39,719 --> 00:51:46,279
Speaker 1: dual role of lender, Fort Steed, a blimp. We're not

1041
00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 1: even in the strategyre of normalcy all right, here we

1042
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,960
Speaker 1: are our number two, day two of training camp here

1043
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,920
Speaker 1: at Saint John Fisher University. Chris Brown here with you

1044
00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:03,960
Speaker 1: as day two is now in the books. From the

1045
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:08,240
Speaker 1: practice field, big day for the defense. Four interceptions in total,

1046
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,240
Speaker 1: two of them by Nick McLeod, one while playing corner,

1047
00:52:11,360 --> 00:52:15,600
Speaker 1: the other while playing safety. Jordan Poyer had an overthrow

1048
00:52:15,719 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 1: that he was the beneficiary of for another interception, and

1049
00:52:18,280 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 1: Dane Jackson had the other I nt for the Bill's

1050
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: defense today. There were also some good pass breakups made,

1051
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 1: and let me get to my notes and I can

1052
00:52:27,719 --> 00:52:32,520
Speaker 1: tell you exactly who had those. Cam Lewis with a

1053
00:52:32,600 --> 00:52:36,600
Speaker 1: pass breakup and that was followed. But oh cam Lewis

1054
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:39,160
Speaker 1: had two of the three that I noted here, and

1055
00:52:39,480 --> 00:52:43,480
Speaker 1: the other one was turned in by Damar Hamlet, So

1056
00:52:44,200 --> 00:52:48,480
Speaker 1: some good stuff there. And Poyer's interception was on a

1057
00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 1: throw from Josh Allen intended for Stefon Diggs, but he

1058
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 1: overshot the mark there over the deep middle. So interesting

1059
00:52:56,320 --> 00:52:58,840
Speaker 1: day there. And Von Miller had a would be sack

1060
00:52:59,280 --> 00:53:00,960
Speaker 1: as I mentioned earlier in the show. He had to

1061
00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:03,520
Speaker 1: literally fall on the ground to avoid hitting Josh Allen,

1062
00:53:04,320 --> 00:53:06,319
Speaker 1: but he would have had a Sack for sure, as

1063
00:53:06,360 --> 00:53:08,800
Speaker 1: he would have nailed him as he stepped up into

1064
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:12,000
Speaker 1: the Pocket Twitter poll today, which we did not get

1065
00:53:12,040 --> 00:53:13,719
Speaker 1: to in the first hour. We're going to get to

1066
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:16,600
Speaker 1: it here. What should be the main focus of the

1067
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:21,000
Speaker 1: Bills during this year's training camp. We know that this

1068
00:53:21,160 --> 00:53:24,040
Speaker 1: is a Super Bowl favorite type team. We know the

1069
00:53:24,160 --> 00:53:26,960
Speaker 1: expectations are through the roof, but there are things on

1070
00:53:27,080 --> 00:53:29,880
Speaker 1: there to do list as they make their final preparations

1071
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:33,640
Speaker 1: here for the twenty twenty two regular season. What should

1072
00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:36,040
Speaker 1: those be or what should be at the top of

1073
00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:39,040
Speaker 1: the list in your mind? Eight oh three oh five

1074
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:41,759
Speaker 1: fifty seven to sixty area code there to get on

1075
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 1: board or one eight eight eight five fifty two five

1076
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 1: fifty the toll free number to join us on the

1077
00:53:47,080 --> 00:53:49,640
Speaker 1: show and you can hit us up there, or you

1078
00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:52,239
Speaker 1: can leave your comment on the tweet sheet at one

1079
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,440
Speaker 1: Bills Live. And we go to the tweet sheet now,

1080
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:56,520
Speaker 1: which is brought to you by Coring and Moving Systems,

1081
00:53:56,560 --> 00:54:00,479
Speaker 1: the official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Jack

1082
00:54:00,640 --> 00:54:04,960
Speaker 1: leads us off and he says, perfecting and fine tuning

1083
00:54:05,040 --> 00:54:10,040
Speaker 1: the offense under Dorsey. Make sure he's ready and they're

1084
00:54:10,080 --> 00:54:12,920
Speaker 1: ready for the season. We cannot afford to take a

1085
00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,520
Speaker 1: step back. I don't know what kind of Wrinkleshill add,

1086
00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:17,200
Speaker 1: but they need to get the most out of their

1087
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:21,320
Speaker 1: wealth of talent. And the offensive play calls, Yeah, I

1088
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 1: mean to me, that's an obvious one, and Jack, you know,

1089
00:54:26,320 --> 00:54:29,400
Speaker 1: I think that is one that is of great focus

1090
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:32,160
Speaker 1: in terms of the fan base at large. They want

1091
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 1: to see what this offense is going to look like,

1092
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Speaker 1: if it's different in any way, shape or form under

1093
00:54:38,120 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey. I think we've learned through the course of

1094
00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:44,239
Speaker 1: the spring and hearing from Dorsey himself, that a lot

1095
00:54:44,360 --> 00:54:48,640
Speaker 1: of the terminology, the protection schemes, and the plays are

1096
00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 1: going to remain the same. I think Dorsey will put

1097
00:54:51,560 --> 00:54:54,000
Speaker 1: his own tweak on it, and then I think it

1098
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:57,640
Speaker 1: will also be inherently different in how it is executed

1099
00:54:58,080 --> 00:55:01,200
Speaker 1: on game days by virtue the fact that Ken Dorsey

1100
00:55:01,760 --> 00:55:06,439
Speaker 1: is not Brian Dable. Now, how you whittle things down

1101
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,640
Speaker 1: to determine this is our best stuff, this is what

1102
00:55:10,800 --> 00:55:12,800
Speaker 1: we want to use every week if it works against

1103
00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 1: the opponent, and this is our bread and butter. I

1104
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:19,759
Speaker 1: think that is what they're funneling the list down to now.

1105
00:55:20,080 --> 00:55:23,480
Speaker 1: In terms of play calls that they like a lot

1106
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,319
Speaker 1: and plays that they would want to weave into each

1107
00:55:26,360 --> 00:55:29,200
Speaker 1: and every game plan over the course of the seventeen

1108
00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:34,400
Speaker 1: game season. And as jack said, the wrinkles that Dorsey

1109
00:55:34,480 --> 00:55:38,160
Speaker 1: inserts into this offense are what is going to make

1110
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:41,439
Speaker 1: it look ever so slightly different from what we've seen

1111
00:55:41,560 --> 00:55:44,720
Speaker 1: for the better part of the past three or four seasons.

1112
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:47,960
Speaker 1: Seth on the tweet sheet says, I think it's got

1113
00:55:48,080 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 1: to be making sure Elam and Jackson are ready to

1114
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: play together at a high level right away. Don't think

1115
00:55:54,040 --> 00:55:55,959
Speaker 1: we'll see twenty seven on the field and the first

1116
00:55:56,000 --> 00:55:59,440
Speaker 1: month of the season. Wow. D line will be improved,

1117
00:56:00,160 --> 00:56:02,360
Speaker 1: offense will do its thing, but we need those guys

1118
00:56:02,719 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 1: to make splash plays, all right. A lot to unpack

1119
00:56:05,200 --> 00:56:10,239
Speaker 1: here from Seth First, Elam and Jackson ready to play

1120
00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,320
Speaker 1: together at a high level right away. I am not

1121
00:56:13,440 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 1: worried about Dane Jackson. This is year three for him,

1122
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:19,440
Speaker 1: and I think we can all agree that when Tredevius

1123
00:56:19,760 --> 00:56:22,719
Speaker 1: left the lineup late last season after he tore his

1124
00:56:22,800 --> 00:56:27,480
Speaker 1: ACL at Thanksgiving, the defense pass defense wise, did not

1125
00:56:27,600 --> 00:56:29,400
Speaker 1: miss a beat. Proof of that is the fact that

1126
00:56:29,800 --> 00:56:32,719
Speaker 1: the Bills were number one in the league in pass

1127
00:56:32,800 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 1: defense when Trus White got hurt. They finished the season

1128
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:39,520
Speaker 1: number one in past defense. It was virtually unchanged, and

1129
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:43,440
Speaker 1: I think we could all agree that last year the

1130
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 1: bulk of the work by that defense was put in

1131
00:56:47,239 --> 00:56:49,479
Speaker 1: by the guys on the back end because the pass

1132
00:56:49,600 --> 00:56:52,160
Speaker 1: rush was not where it needed to beat, which is

1133
00:56:52,200 --> 00:56:55,000
Speaker 1: a big reason why this team went after Von Miller

1134
00:56:55,400 --> 00:56:58,879
Speaker 1: in free agency to improve the pass rush and take

1135
00:56:58,960 --> 00:57:00,759
Speaker 1: some of the pressure off off the guys on the

1136
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:02,680
Speaker 1: back end, who more often than not had to cover

1137
00:57:02,880 --> 00:57:07,640
Speaker 1: longer down to down and series to series. So Jackson

1138
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:10,120
Speaker 1: and the baptism by fire that he had last year

1139
00:57:10,160 --> 00:57:13,320
Speaker 1: as a second year player leaves me confident that he

1140
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,080
Speaker 1: is ready to play at a high level right away

1141
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:20,080
Speaker 1: right now, Elam as we just heard from Brandon, Bean

1142
00:57:20,320 --> 00:57:24,040
Speaker 1: could be a different story. There's a learning curve at

1143
00:57:24,160 --> 00:57:28,480
Speaker 1: play there, particularly when it comes to playing off coverage.

1144
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:30,960
Speaker 1: He was largely a press man corner at Florida, and

1145
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:32,800
Speaker 1: I think when the pads go on, we'll see that

1146
00:57:32,920 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 1: strength of his game show up on the practice field.

1147
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:38,400
Speaker 1: But as far as playing off coverage, that's something he's

1148
00:57:38,440 --> 00:57:40,320
Speaker 1: got to pick up on the fly as we go here.

1149
00:57:40,360 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 1: So I think to your point, seth it goes more

1150
00:57:43,680 --> 00:57:45,960
Speaker 1: towards Elam in that equation in my mind than it

1151
00:57:46,040 --> 00:57:50,600
Speaker 1: does Jackson. I really hope you're wrong in predicting that

1152
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:52,640
Speaker 1: you don't see Tredavious White on the field in the

1153
00:57:52,680 --> 00:57:55,160
Speaker 1: first month in the season. As we heard from Leslie

1154
00:57:55,200 --> 00:57:59,120
Speaker 1: Frasier earlier today, he was asked a similar question, saying, Hey,

1155
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 1: is it at least a blessing in disguise that you're

1156
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,080
Speaker 1: getting all these snaps for Elon and Jackson without White

1157
00:58:05,160 --> 00:58:07,520
Speaker 1: on the field, knowing that if you have to play

1158
00:58:07,600 --> 00:58:09,880
Speaker 1: those guys at the beginning of the year, they've gotten

1159
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 1: more reps that kind of thing, And Leslie said, well,

1160
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,160
Speaker 1: I guess you could look at it that way. He said,

1161
00:58:15,240 --> 00:58:16,640
Speaker 1: but in the grand scheme of things, I'd rather have

1162
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:18,800
Speaker 1: Dredavious White on the field. And I think any defensive

1163
00:58:18,800 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: coordinator would say the same thing. So hopefully he's on

1164
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 1: a faster track than showing up in October. And the

1165
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 1: reason I believe he will be is because if you

1166
00:58:29,800 --> 00:58:34,080
Speaker 1: do the timetable, he got injured on Thanksgiving last year,

1167
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:37,760
Speaker 1: that's the third Well it's the last full week in November,

1168
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:43,000
Speaker 1: so you come all the way back around December plus

1169
00:58:43,240 --> 00:58:46,440
Speaker 1: the first seven months of this year, that's eight months.

1170
00:58:46,880 --> 00:58:49,440
Speaker 1: You get to the end of August, that's nine months,

1171
00:58:49,920 --> 00:58:53,600
Speaker 1: and that's usually they usually say seven to nine months

1172
00:58:53,720 --> 00:58:58,000
Speaker 1: is the time frame for most people with ACL injuries. Now,

1173
00:58:58,520 --> 00:59:02,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bean, when he addressed media two days ago, did

1174
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:06,000
Speaker 1: say that every case is different, and he's one hundred

1175
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:09,400
Speaker 1: percent right, because some guys just have a clean ACL tear.

1176
00:59:09,440 --> 00:59:13,280
Speaker 1: It's a simple procedure, it's a great successful procedure, and

1177
00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:15,320
Speaker 1: the rehab is shorter as a result. Then you have

1178
00:59:15,440 --> 00:59:17,760
Speaker 1: other guys that have other damage in addition to the

1179
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,960
Speaker 1: ACL taar and the rehab is longer. We don't know

1180
00:59:21,160 --> 00:59:25,200
Speaker 1: the nature of Tradevius White's injury, but I would be

1181
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 1: inclined to believe I don't know this. I would be

1182
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:32,560
Speaker 1: inclined to believe that we see trudevious before October. So

1183
00:59:32,680 --> 00:59:35,000
Speaker 1: hopefully he does not miss the first month of the season.

1184
00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,040
Speaker 1: As you predicted, Seth d line will be improved. Yes,

1185
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 1: I agree with that offense will do its thing, but

1186
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,680
Speaker 1: we need those two guys to make splash plays. He's

1187
00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:47,920
Speaker 1: referring again to Elam and Jackson, So splash plays. I'd

1188
00:59:47,960 --> 00:59:51,240
Speaker 1: just be happy with good, solid consistent coverage. To be

1189
00:59:51,360 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 1: quite honest with you, one more here and then we

1190
00:59:54,640 --> 00:59:58,440
Speaker 1: will go to Leslie Frazier, who we've got ready to

1191
00:59:58,520 --> 01:00:01,600
Speaker 1: bring to you, who spoke to media earlier today from

1192
01:00:01,640 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 1: the Violet Wanderers, Rushing the passer should be the focus.

1193
01:00:05,600 --> 01:00:07,960
Speaker 1: The Bills haven't been able to get to Mahomes and

1194
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,080
Speaker 1: get him on the ground, and that has cost the team.

1195
01:00:10,360 --> 01:00:12,640
Speaker 1: The Bills need their pass rush tuned up, and they

1196
01:00:12,720 --> 01:00:15,840
Speaker 1: have a perfect tutor in von Miller. Yeah, see, everybody,

1197
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:19,120
Speaker 1: I understand why the focus naturally goes to Von Miller,

1198
01:00:19,400 --> 01:00:22,680
Speaker 1: guys the best pass rusher of a generation. But you

1199
01:00:22,840 --> 01:00:25,920
Speaker 1: also have Greg Russo, j Finesse and Boogie Basham. I

1200
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 1: mentioned how Boogie Basham has completely reshaped his body composition

1201
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:33,200
Speaker 1: and looks like a different player. This year could be

1202
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:37,120
Speaker 1: a big second year from him. Then you've got Greg

1203
01:00:37,240 --> 01:00:40,480
Speaker 1: Russau entering his second year. Does he take a leap?

1204
01:00:40,840 --> 01:00:43,680
Speaker 1: He's probably going to see more single up situations with

1205
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,160
Speaker 1: Vaughan on the other side drawing a lot of double teams.

1206
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,120
Speaker 1: And then I think the guys on the inside are

1207
01:00:49,160 --> 01:00:53,480
Speaker 1: being forgotten about, players like Ed Oliver and Jordan Phillips.

1208
01:00:53,760 --> 01:00:55,680
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillips, as we mentioned at nine and a half

1209
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,880
Speaker 1: sacks the last season he played in the Bill's uniform,

1210
01:00:58,120 --> 01:01:00,240
Speaker 1: and as you'll hear from Leslie Fraser and just couple

1211
01:01:00,280 --> 01:01:03,560
Speaker 1: of minutes, he has high hopes for Jordan Phillips and

1212
01:01:03,720 --> 01:01:06,320
Speaker 1: what he'll be able to do for Buffalo's pass rush

1213
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,840
Speaker 1: from the interior. So, without any further ado, let's turn

1214
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:13,040
Speaker 1: to Bill's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier now, who addressed the

1215
01:01:13,120 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 1: media earlier today. It was really excited to be back

1216
01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,320
Speaker 1: at Saint John's Fisher. You know, last year at this

1217
01:01:19,400 --> 01:01:23,000
Speaker 1: time we were fighting to COVID and and really going

1218
01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:24,960
Speaker 1: through the protocol and doing all the things that were

1219
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:30,120
Speaker 1: necessary to prepare to have camp in Archer Park. So

1220
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:33,479
Speaker 1: this is just so different and just so wide open,

1221
01:01:34,280 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 1: really good dorms. The food's been great. U seems like

1222
01:01:37,840 --> 01:01:40,280
Speaker 1: the guys are really coming together, even though we're very

1223
01:01:40,360 --> 01:01:43,120
Speaker 1: early in the process, but it feels good to be here.

1224
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:46,040
Speaker 1: So we're excited about training camp and looking forward to

1225
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:52,120
Speaker 1: the days ahead. For sure. Well, with Jordan's situation, how

1226
01:01:52,200 --> 01:01:55,120
Speaker 1: do you make sure that he is focused on Not

1227
01:01:55,200 --> 01:01:56,800
Speaker 1: do you worried that he wouldn't be, but just to

1228
01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,400
Speaker 1: make sure that you know his head's always in the

1229
01:01:58,480 --> 01:02:01,120
Speaker 1: right spot with everything going on. Yeah, you know, Jordan's

1230
01:02:01,600 --> 01:02:03,760
Speaker 1: is such a pro as you know, he's one of

1231
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:05,400
Speaker 1: those guys you don't really have to worry about a

1232
01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:08,480
Speaker 1: whole lot. You know, in our conversations in the off season,

1233
01:02:08,640 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: it was just words of encouragement because you know, I

1234
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:13,040
Speaker 1: knew that he would be working out, he'd be preparing

1235
01:02:13,160 --> 01:02:15,920
Speaker 1: himself and staying on top of the installed and things

1236
01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:19,360
Speaker 1: that we were doing at Archer Park, So you never

1237
01:02:19,400 --> 01:02:21,720
Speaker 1: really worried about him. And even now in training camp,

1238
01:02:22,320 --> 01:02:26,920
Speaker 1: even though obviously some conversations going on regarding this contract,

1239
01:02:27,320 --> 01:02:29,560
Speaker 1: he's able to stay focused on the task at hand

1240
01:02:29,600 --> 01:02:31,600
Speaker 1: and continue to lead us the way he has. So

1241
01:02:32,360 --> 01:02:35,560
Speaker 1: never really concerned a word about Jordan. Such a professional.

1242
01:02:36,080 --> 01:02:37,840
Speaker 1: So you would referenced this, I think it was back

1243
01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,280
Speaker 1: the last time we talked to you, maybe during OTAs

1244
01:02:40,360 --> 01:02:44,440
Speaker 1: or whatever. But you've got some new pieces. The talent

1245
01:02:44,920 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 1: speaks for itself, but you had said it could be,

1246
01:02:48,400 --> 01:02:50,680
Speaker 1: particularly in this defense, maybe a little bit complex in

1247
01:02:50,880 --> 01:02:54,360
Speaker 1: terms of getting all the moving parts working, you know,

1248
01:02:54,440 --> 01:02:57,240
Speaker 1: and synchronizing all that. So in light of that house

1249
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,520
Speaker 1: bital of these training camp sessions. These training camp sessions

1250
01:03:01,560 --> 01:03:05,560
Speaker 1: are extremely vital. This is where this is just an

1251
01:03:05,600 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 1: extension of what we did in all season and we

1252
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:09,960
Speaker 1: had you know, pretty good attendants in the off season.

1253
01:03:10,640 --> 01:03:13,080
Speaker 1: But here you're really building on that foundation that we

1254
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:17,960
Speaker 1: laid back in April, May and June. So for the

1255
01:03:18,080 --> 01:03:21,160
Speaker 1: fact that we are bringing everybody together now, it's important

1256
01:03:21,200 --> 01:03:23,080
Speaker 1: that a lot of things we talked about back in

1257
01:03:23,160 --> 01:03:25,840
Speaker 1: the spring that now we're getting a chance to reinforce

1258
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:29,040
Speaker 1: those with different rules. The rules and the all season

1259
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,920
Speaker 1: program are kind of prohibitive in some ways when it

1260
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,160
Speaker 1: comes to what you're trying to get accomplished. But in

1261
01:03:36,320 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 1: training camp the rains are kind of taken off and

1262
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:41,400
Speaker 1: you can really get after a little bit, you know,

1263
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:45,080
Speaker 1: being able to wear pads, being able to tackle some

1264
01:03:45,200 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 1: of the things that we have to be able to

1265
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:50,120
Speaker 1: do when we start playing games. So training camp is

1266
01:03:50,200 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 1: extremely important to any success we expect to have in

1267
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 1: two and twenty two as we're trying to put everything together. However,

1268
01:03:57,760 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 1: six months removed from the thirteen seconds, I know you're

1269
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 1: reflected on it, but as you sit here now, have

1270
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 1: you officially filed it in the ways basket it and

1271
01:04:08,680 --> 01:04:11,640
Speaker 1: moved on from it. Yeah, say, I think you have to, Man,

1272
01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 1: I think you have to move on. It's so important

1273
01:04:16,200 --> 01:04:18,640
Speaker 1: this season and what we're trying to get accomplished that

1274
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 1: you're locked in and focused on what we're doing in

1275
01:04:20,760 --> 01:04:24,800
Speaker 1: two twenty two. This season, there are so many variables

1276
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 1: that will come up along the way that if you're

1277
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,720
Speaker 1: distracted in any form of fashion, it's going to distract

1278
01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:32,600
Speaker 1: from what you're trying to get accomplished now. So it's

1279
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,360
Speaker 1: in my review mirror. As I said back in the spring,

1280
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,960
Speaker 1: you learn and you move on, and that's where we are.

1281
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,480
Speaker 1: You know, we're really focused on the task at hand

1282
01:04:40,560 --> 01:04:43,400
Speaker 1: and we've got a great opportunity in front of us,

1283
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 1: but we just got to make sure we take care

1284
01:04:45,320 --> 01:04:47,640
Speaker 1: of training camp and do it the right way. Font

1285
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:50,360
Speaker 1: Mill has always played a lot of sacks and you've

1286
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,560
Speaker 1: been in a heavy rotation on your D line. How

1287
01:04:53,600 --> 01:04:56,440
Speaker 1: do you weigh those two things. Have you had conversations

1288
01:04:56,480 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 1: with Adam about what the plan would be or is

1289
01:04:58,680 --> 01:05:01,000
Speaker 1: that going to revolve over time? Yeah, that's a really

1290
01:05:01,040 --> 01:05:04,080
Speaker 1: good question. That's something we talked about early on when

1291
01:05:04,880 --> 01:05:08,720
Speaker 1: he decided to sign with our organization. That, uh, he's

1292
01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,240
Speaker 1: a guy who's had a lot of heavy staffs in

1293
01:05:11,320 --> 01:05:13,080
Speaker 1: ball games and doesn't come off to feel a whole

1294
01:05:13,120 --> 01:05:15,240
Speaker 1: lot where it's like you mentioned, you know, we are

1295
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:19,600
Speaker 1: a rotational system defensive line, and Eric Washington has done

1296
01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:21,360
Speaker 1: a great job with our d line and now with

1297
01:05:21,440 --> 01:05:24,160
Speaker 1: his assistant Marcus West, they'll continue to do a great

1298
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:26,920
Speaker 1: job of keeping guys fresh so that when we get

1299
01:05:26,960 --> 01:05:29,320
Speaker 1: to the fourth quarter they can rush, you know, when

1300
01:05:29,360 --> 01:05:32,240
Speaker 1: we have a lead. So you know, we we had

1301
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:35,080
Speaker 1: some discussions with behind about that. I think he understands

1302
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,280
Speaker 1: our philosophy and we just will come to a happy

1303
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:40,160
Speaker 1: medium of what's best for him, what's best for our

1304
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:45,520
Speaker 1: defense as well. How in the offseason, spend some time

1305
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 1: maybe after free agency and the dust personnel dust has

1306
01:05:48,480 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 1: settled where you're like, but some defensive system out of project. Okay,

1307
01:05:53,240 --> 01:05:55,360
Speaker 1: these couple of days and this week you study the

1308
01:05:55,480 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 1: McVeigh offense. You you know, take a look at Mike

1309
01:05:58,920 --> 01:06:04,800
Speaker 1: McGan yelling Francisco UH to I don't know, get a

1310
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,440
Speaker 1: get a baseline, uh, trapping for the early part of

1311
01:06:08,480 --> 01:06:11,640
Speaker 1: the season. Yeah, we'll we'll we'll have some projects Mark

1312
01:06:11,720 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 1: four Uh that different coaches will take uh in the

1313
01:06:14,800 --> 01:06:18,400
Speaker 1: off season for us. You know, each position coach has

1314
01:06:18,600 --> 01:06:23,160
Speaker 1: an area with an expert in For example, our defensive

1315
01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 1: back coach John Butler, his area is third down in

1316
01:06:26,200 --> 01:06:28,960
Speaker 1: two minutes. He will put something together in the off

1317
01:06:29,000 --> 01:06:31,520
Speaker 1: season where he studied maybe other teams third down in

1318
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:37,040
Speaker 1: two minute. Um, Jimmy Sagato, who's now working with our safeties. Uh,

1319
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,280
Speaker 1: he's our red zone expert. He'll put something together regarding

1320
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:44,600
Speaker 1: red zone and own and owned. So upon it, you're

1321
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:48,040
Speaker 1: gonna say, maybe some some we'll do some some something

1322
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:51,000
Speaker 1: specific to our opponents, but also with the league as well,

1323
01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,280
Speaker 1: just to see what trends are or current as well.

1324
01:06:54,440 --> 01:06:57,680
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, we'll we'll do some projects in that way. Lea.

1325
01:06:57,840 --> 01:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Going back to the line, you know, we can look

1326
01:07:00,040 --> 01:07:02,160
Speaker 1: his resume and we can see all of the accolades

1327
01:07:02,200 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 1: that he's had, and he's sad, and you know, we've

1328
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:07,160
Speaker 1: heard from others that he's a great leader. But is

1329
01:07:07,200 --> 01:07:09,320
Speaker 1: there anything that we don't know about him that he

1330
01:07:09,400 --> 01:07:11,440
Speaker 1: brings your team? Are there any attributes that he has

1331
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 1: that maybe we can't see on the fields the you know,

1332
01:07:14,920 --> 01:07:16,960
Speaker 1: we've only been together a short period of time, but

1333
01:07:17,080 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: one or the intangibles that I've observed back in the

1334
01:07:20,200 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 1: spring was just how he interacted with our guys from

1335
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:26,880
Speaker 1: a leadership standpoint, around the locker room, on the field. Uh.

1336
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes when you are so much better than everybody else,

1337
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 1: things come easier to you. So you may have some

1338
01:07:33,720 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 1: disdain for guys who may not get it as quickly

1339
01:07:36,400 --> 01:07:41,479
Speaker 1: as you do. But Vaughan he's so open to helping

1340
01:07:41,520 --> 01:07:44,400
Speaker 1: the young guys and give him back and really trying

1341
01:07:44,440 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 1: to bring guys along. And that's that's what you want

1342
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:49,360
Speaker 1: out of your your top players. And so that was

1343
01:07:49,440 --> 01:07:52,000
Speaker 1: really encouraging to see. And that's an intangible that I

1344
01:07:52,080 --> 01:07:55,959
Speaker 1: think will help us. For example, he has a rush

1345
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:59,680
Speaker 1: clinic with defensive lineman in the offseason, the top guys

1346
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 1: from top round the league, and he invited uh Greg Russo,

1347
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 1: Aju ed Oliver invited those guys up there and they

1348
01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:10,959
Speaker 1: had a chance to be around some of the great

1349
01:08:11,400 --> 01:08:14,160
Speaker 1: UH defensive ends and defensive tackles in our league. And

1350
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:18,040
Speaker 1: that may not have occurred if he were not a

1351
01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,720
Speaker 1: part of our team. So moments like that, you know,

1352
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:23,720
Speaker 1: just giving back to our players. Uh, those are the

1353
01:08:23,800 --> 01:08:26,320
Speaker 1: intangibles I think that will will help us be a

1354
01:08:26,479 --> 01:08:32,080
Speaker 1: better group. You were somewhat uncomfortable with committing to trade

1355
01:08:32,200 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: in his rookie season, and I know there's a hesitancy

1356
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:40,880
Speaker 1: to throw rookies into the starting lineup early. What this

1357
01:08:41,080 --> 01:08:43,280
Speaker 1: k year in this sense and to a lesser to

1358
01:08:43,360 --> 01:08:45,759
Speaker 1: gree Dane have to show you in the event of trade,

1359
01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:48,840
Speaker 1: is ready for the season. And John, that's going back

1360
01:08:48,920 --> 01:08:51,880
Speaker 1: some years to Davis as a rookie. Uh. He did

1361
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,800
Speaker 1: a great job of as as a rookie, and you know,

1362
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,080
Speaker 1: I think Caro will as well. But there, you know,

1363
01:08:58,160 --> 01:09:01,040
Speaker 1: always just in trepidation when you are rookie and potentially

1364
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,280
Speaker 1: having to start's best at the corner position where you

1365
01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:06,840
Speaker 1: know early on people are gonna target you and you

1366
01:09:06,960 --> 01:09:09,639
Speaker 1: have to be able to stand up early on otherwise

1367
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:14,040
Speaker 1: they continue. So uh, you know, we're confident that he's

1368
01:09:14,040 --> 01:09:16,439
Speaker 1: gonna play well for us. We're confident he's gonna come

1369
01:09:16,479 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 1: along and grow. You know, we need to see how

1370
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:24,120
Speaker 1: he progresses throughout training camp, and he's excited for this opportunity.

1371
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,000
Speaker 1: He's looking forward to it, but so are we. You know,

1372
01:09:27,040 --> 01:09:29,639
Speaker 1: we're looking forward to watching his matturation over over time,

1373
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:33,800
Speaker 1: but we're looking forward to his progress. Is sideline and

1374
01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,719
Speaker 1: all those forces extra rather, you know, for Nyeri and Dane,

1375
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: is that maybe a little blessing in disguise In the

1376
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,680
Speaker 1: long run, it could be h you know, you'd love

1377
01:09:43,720 --> 01:09:45,880
Speaker 1: to have a health at Tredavis for sure and out

1378
01:09:45,920 --> 01:09:50,000
Speaker 1: there getting his reps. But shorter that you're right, that

1379
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,080
Speaker 1: means there'll be more opportunities for Care to be more

1380
01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,479
Speaker 1: opportunities for Dane as well. And even some of the

1381
01:09:54,560 --> 01:09:56,639
Speaker 1: guys that are in backup rows, like a Tim Harris

1382
01:09:56,720 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 1: for example, law so they'll get more reps. So we'll

1383
01:09:59,520 --> 01:10:01,120
Speaker 1: get a chance has to take a look at some guys,

1384
01:10:01,160 --> 01:10:04,280
Speaker 1: and the preseason be good for that. The challenge of prepary,

1385
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,800
Speaker 1: especially for a team like the Rams going into the

1386
01:10:06,960 --> 01:10:10,320
Speaker 1: regular season, not knowing if Tredavius at this point we'll

1387
01:10:10,320 --> 01:10:13,400
Speaker 1: be ready or not, trying to formulate to build this

1388
01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:16,320
Speaker 1: defense in the next month or so, not knowing if

1389
01:10:16,360 --> 01:10:19,639
Speaker 1: you'll have your number one corner or not. Yeah, it's

1390
01:10:20,520 --> 01:10:24,720
Speaker 1: fus John, You really have to operate. You like to

1391
01:10:24,800 --> 01:10:27,200
Speaker 1: bleed that Tredavis is gonna make it, but you have

1392
01:10:27,280 --> 01:10:30,920
Speaker 1: to prepare in case he doesn't. So we're getting Care ready,

1393
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:33,519
Speaker 1: We're getting Dane ready, We're trying to get Tim ready.

1394
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:35,120
Speaker 1: We're trying to get the other guys that are going

1395
01:10:35,160 --> 01:10:37,560
Speaker 1: to be playing a position ready just in case. You know,

1396
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:40,280
Speaker 1: ideally we want tore Davis to be ready to go,

1397
01:10:41,080 --> 01:10:42,799
Speaker 1: but at the same time, we got to be prepared

1398
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:45,400
Speaker 1: if for some reason he's not there, lest pally with

1399
01:10:45,600 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 1: with Tremaine adamants. He's going into you know, his free

1400
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:50,120
Speaker 1: agent year here, he has not been excited for signed

1401
01:10:50,160 --> 01:10:52,800
Speaker 1: to an extension. Don't know where that's gonna go. But

1402
01:10:53,360 --> 01:10:55,160
Speaker 1: I know you guys have loved him since day one.

1403
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:59,040
Speaker 1: What does he have to do to solidify a future

1404
01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:03,439
Speaker 1: with the Bills beyond twenty twenty two. Well, I think

1405
01:11:03,479 --> 01:11:06,439
Speaker 1: on the football field, he's done an exceptional job for us.

1406
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,120
Speaker 1: And I mean he's a high character go off to

1407
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:12,880
Speaker 1: field um, tremendous leader, tremendous player, pro bowler um. You know,

1408
01:11:13,040 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 1: Brandon is probably the better guy for that question from

1409
01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:19,320
Speaker 1: a football standpoint. You know, as as a coach, you

1410
01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 1: couldn't ask for a whole lot more. He's continued to,

1411
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:23,840
Speaker 1: you know, grow and get better, and that's what you

1412
01:11:23,880 --> 01:11:25,840
Speaker 1: want to see out of your players, especially such a

1413
01:11:25,920 --> 01:11:29,839
Speaker 1: young players as Tremaine. I mean, he's he's still maturing,

1414
01:11:29,920 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: still growing into what he's going to become. So his

1415
01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:35,320
Speaker 1: best football is still ahead of him by you know,

1416
01:11:35,800 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: and he's he has not reached his peak at any

1417
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,720
Speaker 1: by any means. He's getting better, you know, every single year,

1418
01:11:41,920 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 1: every single day. So just looking forward to him continuing

1419
01:11:45,040 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 1: to grow and Brandon and Sean they'll handle the contract

1420
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 1: part of it. I think the increase of like two

1421
01:11:51,800 --> 01:11:54,840
Speaker 1: high coverages a cat. He was like Kansas City, you know,

1422
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:59,280
Speaker 1: and saw it a lot more superstar quarterbacks. You know,

1423
01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:03,960
Speaker 1: I packed the tremain's role, you know, giving the factor

1424
01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:08,000
Speaker 1: one last person in the box some of the times. Yeah,

1425
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:12,280
Speaker 1: you know, it seems there are some teams that are

1426
01:12:12,960 --> 01:12:16,240
Speaker 1: playing more split safety will your right to certain quarterbacks

1427
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:17,760
Speaker 1: and you almost have to do that with the way

1428
01:12:18,160 --> 01:12:21,680
Speaker 1: the game is, uh, you know, really changed when it

1429
01:12:21,720 --> 01:12:24,519
Speaker 1: comes to the passing game. But how it affects you

1430
01:12:24,680 --> 01:12:29,040
Speaker 1: your middle linebacker probably the coverage aspect. You know, it

1431
01:12:29,120 --> 01:12:31,240
Speaker 1: puts a little bit more on that guy from a

1432
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 1: cover standpoint, but it also stresses him a little bit

1433
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:36,880
Speaker 1: more in the run game because now you don't have

1434
01:12:37,479 --> 01:12:40,720
Speaker 1: one of those safeties in the box as much, so

1435
01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 1: you kind of look for a little bit different linebacker

1436
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:45,680
Speaker 1: than you did ten or fifteen years ago because of

1437
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 1: the way the game has evolved. So I don't think

1438
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,960
Speaker 1: that's necessarily a bad thing if you have the right

1439
01:12:51,360 --> 01:12:54,040
Speaker 1: middle linebacker, and I think we do. Going back to

1440
01:12:54,080 --> 01:12:56,680
Speaker 1: thee of the last two years, it's about you need

1441
01:12:56,720 --> 01:13:00,439
Speaker 1: to improve this big place, those splash places. It's something

1442
01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 1: you can teach. Is there a drill for that? Is

1443
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,320
Speaker 1: that something you can work on or is that just

1444
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 1: something kind of like a clutch sheet like he just

1445
01:13:06,840 --> 01:13:08,720
Speaker 1: either have it or you don't. Can that be talk?

1446
01:13:09,960 --> 01:13:13,600
Speaker 1: I think you can. I think the more confidence you

1447
01:13:13,760 --> 01:13:17,600
Speaker 1: gain and the more opportunities that are presented, then you

1448
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: make those plays and those opportunities are presented and you

1449
01:13:19,960 --> 01:13:23,000
Speaker 1: really have to visualize yourself being in those positions to

1450
01:13:23,080 --> 01:13:26,080
Speaker 1: make those plays. Tremaine is capable, uh, and he's gonna

1451
01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:28,519
Speaker 1: make those big plays for us this season, which will help,

1452
01:13:28,760 --> 01:13:32,559
Speaker 1: you know, propel us to another level. Um. So yeah,

1453
01:13:32,600 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 1: I think you can grow into that, mature into that,

1454
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:40,479
Speaker 1: and become that type of player for sure. Had some

1455
01:13:40,600 --> 01:13:44,719
Speaker 1: injuries in Arizona. What did you see from him there?

1456
01:13:45,120 --> 01:13:48,120
Speaker 1: And tape as you h we're scouting out for free

1457
01:13:48,160 --> 01:13:51,800
Speaker 1: agency and whatever you talk to him about about how

1458
01:13:51,920 --> 01:13:56,760
Speaker 1: he can, you know, be the what he was when

1459
01:13:56,920 --> 01:14:00,400
Speaker 1: the last time you had him, you hit the for

1460
01:14:00,560 --> 01:14:03,400
Speaker 1: us mark when he was here, he was such a

1461
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:07,040
Speaker 1: dominant player for us. I mean he was running the

1462
01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:09,839
Speaker 1: verge of being a double digit SAT guy in the interior,

1463
01:14:09,920 --> 01:14:12,240
Speaker 1: which is hard to do, and so we want to

1464
01:14:12,280 --> 01:14:14,599
Speaker 1: capture that. We want to recapture that and get him

1465
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 1: back to that place. And he had a great spring

1466
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,599
Speaker 1: for us. He did a terrific job this offseason away

1467
01:14:20,680 --> 01:14:23,200
Speaker 1: from the building. He came back in great shape. Talked

1468
01:14:23,240 --> 01:14:25,560
Speaker 1: to Eric Shanno, a strength coach, when we did a

1469
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:30,040
Speaker 1: conditioning test, Jordan was off the charts, and saw him

1470
01:14:30,080 --> 01:14:31,840
Speaker 1: this morning in the weight room. He's the first guy

1471
01:14:31,920 --> 01:14:34,400
Speaker 1: in the weight room this morning on our team. So

1472
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 1: his mindset and his focus is where it needs to be.

1473
01:14:38,120 --> 01:14:41,920
Speaker 1: So we expect someone similar to what we had a

1474
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: couple of years ago when he was here, or even

1475
01:14:43,760 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: better with his focus in his attention to detail. So

1476
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:47,880
Speaker 1: I don't think there's a whole lot that we have

1477
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:50,040
Speaker 1: to say. It's just amount of him going out and

1478
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:53,160
Speaker 1: doing what he does. He's more than capable of dominating games,

1479
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:57,080
Speaker 1: all right, That's defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier addressing the media

1480
01:14:57,200 --> 01:14:59,720
Speaker 1: earlier today and as you heard him say there, Jordan

1481
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:03,040
Speaker 1: ellips Is conditioning was off the charts according to the

1482
01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,719
Speaker 1: strength and conditioning staff after they have the conditioning test

1483
01:15:05,800 --> 01:15:10,280
Speaker 1: here as soon as players reported on Saturday. We will

1484
01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:12,639
Speaker 1: break here, but when we come back, we'll be joined

1485
01:15:12,680 --> 01:15:15,840
Speaker 1: by NFL network analyst Mike Giardi, who spends it off

1486
01:15:15,880 --> 01:15:19,760
Speaker 1: a lot of time covering the afcast. Mike joins us

1487
01:15:19,840 --> 01:15:22,080
Speaker 1: next here on One Bills Live presented by Kalida Help.

1488
01:15:22,120 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to Bill's

1489
01:15:42,439 --> 01:15:44,920
Speaker 1: training camp. Chris Brown here with you on One Bills Live.

1490
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:48,880
Speaker 1: Second half of the show under way, and we want

1491
01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:50,680
Speaker 1: to get to the phones here really quick at eight

1492
01:15:50,880 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 1: three five fifty two five fifty asking you what you

1493
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:58,080
Speaker 1: think the focus of the Bills should be here at

1494
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:02,320
Speaker 1: training camp and leading us off here is Judy in

1495
01:16:02,600 --> 01:16:06,760
Speaker 1: Buffalo and let me see, did I get her? I

1496
01:16:06,880 --> 01:16:09,559
Speaker 1: can't pull her up here? Hold on a second, there

1497
01:16:09,640 --> 01:16:13,200
Speaker 1: she is, Judy. Are you with us? Yeah, I'm here. Okay,

1498
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,559
Speaker 1: I've said it before, I'll say it again. The Bills

1499
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,160
Speaker 1: need to develop a pass rush. The lack of a

1500
01:16:20,240 --> 01:16:24,679
Speaker 1: pass rush costs in the Super Bowl last year. I'm

1501
01:16:24,720 --> 01:16:27,519
Speaker 1: not sure von Miller's the answer. Somebody's got a coach

1502
01:16:27,600 --> 01:16:34,559
Speaker 1: up Russo, Basham, Epanessa and it's the answer to fast

1503
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:37,080
Speaker 1: for the year. The Bills have to go five and

1504
01:16:37,160 --> 01:16:39,519
Speaker 1: two in the first seven games, and without a pass rush,

1505
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:45,080
Speaker 1: that's not going to happen. All right, I appreciate it, Judy,

1506
01:16:45,160 --> 01:16:48,320
Speaker 1: thanks very much. Appreciate the call as always. Yeah, I

1507
01:16:48,360 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 1: mean pass rush is pretty obvious. And yeah, I don't

1508
01:16:51,640 --> 01:16:53,760
Speaker 1: think they can put all the all the eggs in

1509
01:16:53,840 --> 01:16:56,519
Speaker 1: von Miller's basket. They got to get improvements from Russou

1510
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 1: and Basham as well as Epinessa. But I think Jordan

1511
01:16:59,320 --> 01:17:02,200
Speaker 1: Phillips could be a pleasant surprise on the interior as

1512
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,280
Speaker 1: far as the pass rush goes. Watching that guy today,

1513
01:17:04,280 --> 01:17:07,519
Speaker 1: he looks regular season ready. Right now, we want to

1514
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:10,320
Speaker 1: uh not make our next guest down the air wait

1515
01:17:10,400 --> 01:17:13,639
Speaker 1: any longer. From NFL Network, it's Mike Gari. Mike, thanks

1516
01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:18,800
Speaker 1: for you're doing the Chris Collins smooth. Well, this chair

1517
01:17:18,880 --> 01:17:21,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have wheels, so that's not really fair to you,

1518
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:24,080
Speaker 1: but thanks for stopping by. We appreciate it. Did you

1519
01:17:24,320 --> 01:17:27,599
Speaker 1: is this your first camp this summer that you're getting

1520
01:17:27,960 --> 01:17:31,160
Speaker 1: first team because great environment, right, I mean yeah, and

1521
01:17:31,280 --> 01:17:34,840
Speaker 1: the weather was awesome today. Yeah, that's that's what I've

1522
01:17:35,040 --> 01:17:37,040
Speaker 1: been looking for for the last couple of weeks here

1523
01:17:37,080 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 1: with the weather has been crazy. So why don't you

1524
01:17:39,200 --> 01:17:41,439
Speaker 1: just tell me because I know you're it's hard, because

1525
01:17:41,520 --> 01:17:44,040
Speaker 1: you guys, you gotta it's like a fly by night thing.

1526
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:46,559
Speaker 1: You swoop in, you're out, you go to the next one.

1527
01:17:46,840 --> 01:17:50,599
Speaker 1: Rin wash rintz repeat. Maybe something that just caught your

1528
01:17:50,640 --> 01:17:54,400
Speaker 1: eye today just watching practice. I just like to see

1529
01:17:54,760 --> 01:17:57,559
Speaker 1: players grow over time, right, And and we look at

1530
01:17:57,680 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 1: Josh the player, and you say, Josh is really grown

1531
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:04,000
Speaker 1: into be a superstar, right. But I also it's his personality.

1532
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:06,479
Speaker 1: It's the way he leads, and you can see his

1533
01:18:06,640 --> 01:18:09,519
Speaker 1: stature sort of grow within the organization, within the huddle.

1534
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,600
Speaker 1: Guys respect him. He says something, they do it. And

1535
01:18:12,680 --> 01:18:14,680
Speaker 1: then you see someone like Stefan Diggs, who I was

1536
01:18:14,760 --> 01:18:17,800
Speaker 1: just mentioning this on the air on NFL network. You know,

1537
01:18:18,600 --> 01:18:21,320
Speaker 1: when he got traded here, people wondered, is this gonna work.

1538
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:25,120
Speaker 1: Stefan Digg's gonna embrace being in Buffalo and Josh Allen

1539
01:18:25,160 --> 01:18:27,280
Speaker 1: guy is a fifty nine percent passer in the year two.

1540
01:18:27,439 --> 01:18:29,400
Speaker 1: Is that gonna work? Right? And then they have this

1541
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:32,280
Speaker 1: great chemistry, They have this great relationship. But now to

1542
01:18:32,360 --> 01:18:35,360
Speaker 1: see Stefan sort of take on that role of leading

1543
01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 1: that wide receiver room and being a vocal guy. And

1544
01:18:38,720 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 1: I mean he's always had that in him. Obviously we've

1545
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,560
Speaker 1: seen it at various times, but again to sort of

1546
01:18:42,720 --> 01:18:45,760
Speaker 1: just grow into being a leader and be comfortable with that,

1547
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:48,839
Speaker 1: knowing that not everyone's gonna love what I say sometimes,

1548
01:18:48,920 --> 01:18:51,800
Speaker 1: but I've been through it and this is how I

1549
01:18:51,880 --> 01:18:53,679
Speaker 1: think it should be done. I don't know if ironic

1550
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:56,639
Speaker 1: is the word, but I think the anticipation was, well,

1551
01:18:56,800 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 1: is this gonna work. Receivers like him can be divas

1552
01:18:59,240 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 1: and wants at him Minnesota because they run the ball

1553
01:19:01,439 --> 01:19:03,640
Speaker 1: too much and he wants the ball more. And so

1554
01:19:03,800 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 1: he comes here and I think there's this trepidation like

1555
01:19:07,640 --> 01:19:11,360
Speaker 1: there could be a diva coming to Buffalo. And today

1556
01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 1: he's talking to the media after practice and he's saying,

1557
01:19:13,600 --> 01:19:16,000
Speaker 1: I don't care about my numbers. I want, you know,

1558
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:17,479
Speaker 1: if we got to spread the ball around because I'm

1559
01:19:17,520 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 1: giving opportunities to other guys because I'm drawing attention. That's fine,

1560
01:19:20,360 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 1: I only got one goal in mind. It's just like

1561
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:25,280
Speaker 1: that's kind of the antithesis of a diva receiver. Right.

1562
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:27,400
Speaker 1: You love to hear it, and then you're gonna love

1563
01:19:27,479 --> 01:19:29,640
Speaker 1: to see if it plays out that way, right, And

1564
01:19:29,760 --> 01:19:32,240
Speaker 1: I think to this point in Buffalo it has played

1565
01:19:32,240 --> 01:19:34,280
Speaker 1: out that way. I mean, he's a smart guy. He

1566
01:19:34,320 --> 01:19:36,600
Speaker 1: looks at his room and he says, Gabe Davis is

1567
01:19:36,680 --> 01:19:40,679
Speaker 1: blossoming right before our eyes and everybody saw a national

1568
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:42,720
Speaker 1: TV in the playoffs and he scores four touchdowns, but

1569
01:19:43,040 --> 01:19:46,200
Speaker 1: he's carrying himself differently. Gabe is like, there's a confident

1570
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:49,639
Speaker 1: player there, Dawson Knox after all the injuries and sort

1571
01:19:49,640 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 1: of the inconsistency he developed last year, and so there's

1572
01:19:52,280 --> 01:19:55,920
Speaker 1: all these different pieces. He knows like, if we're gonna

1573
01:19:55,960 --> 01:19:58,800
Speaker 1: be great, yeah, it's because this guy's gonna have a

1574
01:19:58,840 --> 01:20:00,599
Speaker 1: good season. And this guy can't just be me. If

1575
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm catching one hundred and thirty passes. But Dawson has

1576
01:20:02,720 --> 01:20:05,320
Speaker 1: a down year and Gabe doesn't develop into what he thinks,

1577
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 1: then we're probably not going to be the team that

1578
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 1: we think we are. James Coach stands out to me,

1579
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:13,960
Speaker 1: does he stand out to you. I mean it's only

1580
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:16,599
Speaker 1: two days, but I'm like, this guy looks different. He does.

1581
01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,680
Speaker 1: He just moves differently than I guess in the last

1582
01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: few years any back that Buffalo's had years looks efforts. Yea,

1583
01:20:23,880 --> 01:20:26,200
Speaker 1: it really doesn't look smooth. I know. Diggs was asked

1584
01:20:26,240 --> 01:20:28,040
Speaker 1: at the podium like, does he remind you of Dalvin

1585
01:20:28,080 --> 01:20:30,760
Speaker 1: at all? And yeah, there are some similarities, and if

1586
01:20:30,840 --> 01:20:33,200
Speaker 1: you there are some similarities out at that way. I

1587
01:20:33,240 --> 01:20:34,760
Speaker 1: don't want to put too much on the kid, because,

1588
01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,080
Speaker 1: as you said, stay two, they're not even in full pads.

1589
01:20:37,320 --> 01:20:40,080
Speaker 1: He's had some injury history in college, hasn't had to

1590
01:20:40,120 --> 01:20:42,320
Speaker 1: be the guy all the time. But the way he

1591
01:20:42,439 --> 01:20:44,519
Speaker 1: moves and the things that you think about it, he

1592
01:20:44,560 --> 01:20:46,240
Speaker 1: could do in this offense and then maybe the thing

1593
01:20:46,320 --> 01:20:49,360
Speaker 1: that they've been lacking in this offense, he seems to

1594
01:20:49,439 --> 01:20:51,720
Speaker 1: fit perfectly. Yeah. I was just talking about it with

1595
01:20:51,840 --> 01:20:54,840
Speaker 1: one of our callers on the show. The pass Rush,

1596
01:20:55,040 --> 01:20:58,360
Speaker 1: And while von Miller draws all the headlines and all

1597
01:20:58,360 --> 01:21:01,439
Speaker 1: the and presumably all the attention from opposing offensive lines,

1598
01:21:02,600 --> 01:21:04,479
Speaker 1: they can't put all their eggs in that basket. They

1599
01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:09,960
Speaker 1: have to get, you know, upward trends in their play consistency,

1600
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:13,280
Speaker 1: chiefly from Rousseau and bash him and Epanessa on the

1601
01:21:13,400 --> 01:21:16,200
Speaker 1: other side. And then I think a wild card in

1602
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,240
Speaker 1: this is Jordan Phillips, who the last time it was

1603
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:20,080
Speaker 1: in a Bill's uniform, had a nine and a half

1604
01:21:20,120 --> 01:21:23,680
Speaker 1: stack season and was instrumental in some key wins down

1605
01:21:23,760 --> 01:21:26,719
Speaker 1: the stretch, like at Pittsburgh on Sunday Night in twenty

1606
01:21:26,840 --> 01:21:30,880
Speaker 1: nineteen that helped them clinch a playoff. Berth, what do

1607
01:21:30,960 --> 01:21:34,120
Speaker 1: you think about maybe some of those interior guys, because

1608
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,519
Speaker 1: I think they're a more athletic defensive interior than they've

1609
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:39,280
Speaker 1: been in recent years where they've had more of the

1610
01:21:39,360 --> 01:21:42,000
Speaker 1: plugger types. I haven't talked to Brandon about that, but

1611
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:43,760
Speaker 1: there's a very good point and something I would like

1612
01:21:43,840 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 1: to ask him because it does seem like maybe that

1613
01:21:46,120 --> 01:21:48,679
Speaker 1: was part of the focus here in the last twelve

1614
01:21:48,720 --> 01:21:50,680
Speaker 1: months or so, to get a little bit more athletic there.

1615
01:21:51,120 --> 01:21:53,640
Speaker 1: And then you mentioned Vaughan to me, one of the

1616
01:21:53,680 --> 01:21:55,200
Speaker 1: big things of Vaughan is going to be can you

1617
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:57,559
Speaker 1: convince him that he doesn't need to be out there

1618
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:00,400
Speaker 1: for eighty percent of this? Yeah, I was talking to

1619
01:22:00,439 --> 01:22:03,040
Speaker 1: Brandon about it earlier, because Leslie addressed it this morning,

1620
01:22:03,080 --> 01:22:05,360
Speaker 1: as you know, and he said, look, we've talked about it,

1621
01:22:05,439 --> 01:22:08,200
Speaker 1: we'll figure it out. My thinking is, and I think

1622
01:22:08,240 --> 01:22:10,639
Speaker 1: even Peter King wrote about this in his Football Morning

1623
01:22:10,680 --> 01:22:13,800
Speaker 1: in America, colum My thinking is similar. When they're up

1624
01:22:14,439 --> 01:22:17,880
Speaker 1: fifteen or seventeen on a team, you're done for this week.

1625
01:22:18,080 --> 01:22:21,280
Speaker 1: Come sit down, play forty snaps this week, because when

1626
01:22:21,320 --> 01:22:23,080
Speaker 1: we play the Ravens and we're in a tight one,

1627
01:22:23,200 --> 01:22:25,479
Speaker 1: we're gonna need you for sixty five or seventy. And

1628
01:22:25,800 --> 01:22:28,559
Speaker 1: I think they're hoping that they can kind of pace

1629
01:22:28,680 --> 01:22:31,320
Speaker 1: him through the season. This team invests a lot in

1630
01:22:31,439 --> 01:22:36,120
Speaker 1: sports science, and they actually paced Digs through the season

1631
01:22:36,320 --> 01:22:39,320
Speaker 1: last year. Josh kind of revealed it after a game

1632
01:22:39,760 --> 01:22:41,800
Speaker 1: because he didn't he was trying to get him one

1633
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,439
Speaker 1: hundred catches at the end of the season for that

1634
01:22:43,880 --> 01:22:46,800
Speaker 1: bonus in his contract, and he was just force feeding

1635
01:22:46,880 --> 01:22:49,200
Speaker 1: him like crazy in that game, and he said, yeah,

1636
01:22:49,320 --> 01:22:51,720
Speaker 1: he goes. Stefan probably would have been here sooner, but

1637
01:22:51,800 --> 01:22:53,800
Speaker 1: we were kind of pacing him through the season. It

1638
01:22:53,880 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 1: was very eye opening to me. I was like, oh, okay,

1639
01:22:55,600 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: that's interesting because in twenty twenty he had the ABB

1640
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: in the oblique in jury and it slowed him down

1641
01:23:01,200 --> 01:23:04,240
Speaker 1: and he was overworked and basily the same thing. So

1642
01:23:04,400 --> 01:23:07,200
Speaker 1: I think I'm wondering if there's a sports science element

1643
01:23:07,840 --> 01:23:10,800
Speaker 1: to pacing Vaughan through the years. So they have a

1644
01:23:10,880 --> 01:23:13,879
Speaker 1: thirty three year old that's still primo in the playoffs,

1645
01:23:13,960 --> 01:23:15,519
Speaker 1: you put that on the spreadsheet, you throw it in

1646
01:23:15,560 --> 01:23:16,840
Speaker 1: front of him, you put it on the big screen

1647
01:23:16,920 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: if you will, like, hey, look this will have us.

1648
01:23:19,479 --> 01:23:22,600
Speaker 1: I think maybe last year they can lean on that

1649
01:23:22,720 --> 01:23:26,519
Speaker 1: experience too, like, hey, it wasn't going great in Denver

1650
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:28,479
Speaker 1: at the end, and there was a little bit of

1651
01:23:28,520 --> 01:23:32,360
Speaker 1: a slow transition with the Rams, but then as the

1652
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,320
Speaker 1: season went on, you played some less snaps that you

1653
01:23:34,400 --> 01:23:36,599
Speaker 1: were a little bit more explosive in January and February.

1654
01:23:36,640 --> 01:23:39,720
Speaker 1: And I think that's Look, they brought him here to

1655
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:41,760
Speaker 1: be the closer. Yeah, I mean, not that he's still

1656
01:23:41,800 --> 01:23:43,160
Speaker 1: not an every down player, but they brought him to

1657
01:23:43,200 --> 01:23:44,559
Speaker 1: be the closer. They brought him to be the guy

1658
01:23:44,600 --> 01:23:47,320
Speaker 1: they can get Pat Mahomes off the field, and you

1659
01:23:47,479 --> 01:23:50,080
Speaker 1: need him to be as fresh and explosive as possible

1660
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:53,080
Speaker 1: in January in February, And I mean that's part of

1661
01:23:53,120 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: the selling point to them that they're just gonna have

1662
01:23:54,760 --> 01:23:58,160
Speaker 1: to keep preaching with him and look the attention, as

1663
01:23:58,200 --> 01:24:00,320
Speaker 1: you mentioned, he's going to get all this attention. Then

1664
01:24:00,400 --> 01:24:04,120
Speaker 1: it really is incumbent upon Russo or Basham, Epinesso or

1665
01:24:04,200 --> 01:24:07,920
Speaker 1: all three of them, whoever to emerge. You're gonna get singled.

1666
01:24:08,439 --> 01:24:10,320
Speaker 1: You gotta beat the single with regularity. And if you

1667
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:12,719
Speaker 1: beat the single with regularity, guess what, then Vaughan's gonna

1668
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:14,400
Speaker 1: start to get some singles, or maybe they're not going

1669
01:24:14,439 --> 01:24:16,920
Speaker 1: to work concentrate so much on the interior guys, and

1670
01:24:17,080 --> 01:24:19,320
Speaker 1: Jordan breaks free for a play here or play there,

1671
01:24:19,360 --> 01:24:22,040
Speaker 1: And I think that's that's critical as you're building that group,

1672
01:24:22,400 --> 01:24:25,080
Speaker 1: and we know they like to rotate, so it's all

1673
01:24:25,120 --> 01:24:26,439
Speaker 1: part of the plan. I think they just got to

1674
01:24:26,439 --> 01:24:28,519
Speaker 1: convince the big dog that that's the right thing to

1675
01:24:28,560 --> 01:24:31,880
Speaker 1: do right quick or whip around through the AFCs because

1676
01:24:32,080 --> 01:24:33,479
Speaker 1: you kind of have to keep your ear to the

1677
01:24:33,560 --> 01:24:35,760
Speaker 1: ground on all that stuff. While we can deal with

1678
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 1: Bill's myopia, here go when you go to New England,

1679
01:24:40,400 --> 01:24:42,519
Speaker 1: what is going to be kind of the thing at

1680
01:24:42,520 --> 01:24:46,560
Speaker 1: the top of your list to drill down on twofold

1681
01:24:46,920 --> 01:24:49,600
Speaker 1: The coaching element, the offense. For people that don't know

1682
01:24:49,720 --> 01:24:51,880
Speaker 1: jo or Daniel's thread is in Vegas. He's the head

1683
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,640
Speaker 1: coach now and there is no coordinator, and that's not

1684
01:24:54,840 --> 01:24:56,880
Speaker 1: uncommon for Belichick. He's done this before. He did it

1685
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:59,880
Speaker 1: with Josh. When Josh transition from a regular coach into

1686
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:01,880
Speaker 1: being the coordinated they just didn't give him the title

1687
01:25:02,080 --> 01:25:04,160
Speaker 1: Bill O'Brien when he took over for Josh when Josh

1688
01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:08,639
Speaker 1: went to Denver's head coach. Same thing, but the people

1689
01:25:08,720 --> 01:25:11,880
Speaker 1: that they're using in that position Joe Judge, who's coached

1690
01:25:12,000 --> 01:25:14,519
Speaker 1: wide receivers for a single year and was a special

1691
01:25:14,560 --> 01:25:16,280
Speaker 1: team's coach for the Patriots before you come the head

1692
01:25:16,320 --> 01:25:19,080
Speaker 1: coach of the Giants. And Matt Patricia, who I believe

1693
01:25:19,160 --> 01:25:21,679
Speaker 1: coach the offensive line as an assistant in two thousand

1694
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,479
Speaker 1: and five and then has been defense ever since. Those

1695
01:25:24,520 --> 01:25:26,439
Speaker 1: are the guys that were eyeballing right now with the

1696
01:25:26,479 --> 01:25:29,240
Speaker 1: guys that are going to be calling the plays. We

1697
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,519
Speaker 1: even saw Belichick at times and the OTAs relaying the

1698
01:25:32,600 --> 01:25:35,200
Speaker 1: play to Mac Jones. So that is I think critical

1699
01:25:35,280 --> 01:25:38,880
Speaker 1: because we can all agree you want consistency with your

1700
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:41,680
Speaker 1: young quarterback. The Bills were able to do that with

1701
01:25:41,840 --> 01:25:44,439
Speaker 1: Brian Dabel for four years with Josh, and they had

1702
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:47,360
Speaker 1: a plan for Josh and it developed. I'm really curious

1703
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:48,840
Speaker 1: to see how that plays out. I think the other

1704
01:25:48,920 --> 01:25:52,040
Speaker 1: thing for me is just JC Jackson walks out the door.

1705
01:25:52,760 --> 01:25:55,559
Speaker 1: They didn't go get another big time corner. They didn't

1706
01:25:55,560 --> 01:25:57,840
Speaker 1: even go get a medium sized corner. They went sort

1707
01:25:57,880 --> 01:26:01,160
Speaker 1: of bargain basement. Malcolm Butler didn't play year. We know

1708
01:26:01,280 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 1: his history with New England, but I mean, he missed

1709
01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 1: a full season. He's there, he could make the team

1710
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,200
Speaker 1: and be their number one corner. He could get caught.

1711
01:26:07,439 --> 01:26:09,360
Speaker 1: I don't I really, I don't know how that's gonna

1712
01:26:09,360 --> 01:26:11,519
Speaker 1: play out. He's he's been away for a while. Terrence Mitchell.

1713
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:13,960
Speaker 1: They signed from Houston. They drafted a couple of kids,

1714
01:26:14,120 --> 01:26:17,360
Speaker 1: Marcus Jones out of Houston and Jack Jones from Arizona State.

1715
01:26:17,800 --> 01:26:20,600
Speaker 1: Same thing like Jack Jones has caught my eye a

1716
01:26:20,640 --> 01:26:22,760
Speaker 1: little bit that maybe he might be he's a fourth

1717
01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:26,080
Speaker 1: round pick, maybe he got undervalued there, and maybe he's

1718
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,479
Speaker 1: a better player. But again, that's you turned it over.

1719
01:26:29,520 --> 01:26:31,400
Speaker 1: You want to play man to man. Bill's always want

1720
01:26:31,400 --> 01:26:33,400
Speaker 1: to play man to man. Right now, I don't know

1721
01:26:33,479 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 1: that he has the corners to do it. That's one

1722
01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:37,880
Speaker 1: of these young guys developing. Malcolm or Mitchell can play

1723
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:43,120
Speaker 1: in Miami. After two of what what's the next one?

1724
01:26:43,200 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 1: Two and three? We've talked that to death. Yeah, I

1725
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:49,519
Speaker 1: was figuring, well what comes after that? Anything? To me,

1726
01:26:49,600 --> 01:26:52,080
Speaker 1: it's it's Mike McDaniel. What kind of coaches he It's

1727
01:26:52,080 --> 01:26:54,599
Speaker 1: all great now and he's different and people are feeding

1728
01:26:54,680 --> 01:26:57,559
Speaker 1: into that, and he's got a unique personality. That's fine,

1729
01:26:57,600 --> 01:27:01,280
Speaker 1: but can he command the room, especially when, as you

1730
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 1: know in the NFL season, even teams like the Bills

1731
01:27:03,560 --> 01:27:06,080
Speaker 1: are paid, you go through a lull, they hit a lull,

1732
01:27:06,120 --> 01:27:08,320
Speaker 1: they lose a couple of games. The guys look at

1733
01:27:08,360 --> 01:27:10,920
Speaker 1: him and go, who's this? Who's this guy? Like, Okay,

1734
01:27:10,960 --> 01:27:12,640
Speaker 1: it was funny and cute when we were winning, but now, like,

1735
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:16,080
Speaker 1: do I respect that guy? You even hurd? Still the

1736
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:19,640
Speaker 1: rumors about Peyton, right, Sean Payton considering and you know,

1737
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,360
Speaker 1: so as this guy placeholder, who knows? But I'm really

1738
01:27:23,439 --> 01:27:26,160
Speaker 1: curious to see what he does there because I like,

1739
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:28,479
Speaker 1: obviously I like the personality. It's different. We're not used

1740
01:27:28,479 --> 01:27:30,559
Speaker 1: to it from a head coach. But I'm I'm curious

1741
01:27:30,560 --> 01:27:31,760
Speaker 1: to see how that plays. And a heck of a

1742
01:27:31,880 --> 01:27:34,880
Speaker 1: draft in New York for the Jets. But are all

1743
01:27:34,920 --> 01:27:37,600
Speaker 1: those guys gonna reach critical mass in year one? Probably not?

1744
01:27:37,800 --> 01:27:40,439
Speaker 1: But what do we have to look for there? I mean,

1745
01:27:40,560 --> 01:27:42,880
Speaker 1: we're back to the quarterback. I'm guessing again, like Zach

1746
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:45,040
Speaker 1: Wilson's got to take a step here. Yeah, he definitely

1747
01:27:45,080 --> 01:27:46,599
Speaker 1: has to take a step. I think they were pleased

1748
01:27:46,680 --> 01:27:49,000
Speaker 1: with the way he played down the stretch, albeit not

1749
01:27:49,160 --> 01:27:51,759
Speaker 1: in Buffalo, but I think there was better decision making

1750
01:27:52,080 --> 01:27:54,000
Speaker 1: and a little bit better accuracy over those final five

1751
01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:55,840
Speaker 1: or six games. I think they'd like him to roly

1752
01:27:55,920 --> 01:27:58,280
Speaker 1: on as love us a little bit more. I think

1753
01:27:58,320 --> 01:28:01,200
Speaker 1: he was after he hurt against the Patriots. I think

1754
01:28:01,479 --> 01:28:03,479
Speaker 1: when he came back he was trying to convince himself

1755
01:28:03,479 --> 01:28:05,360
Speaker 1: to stay in the pocket, which led to more sacks

1756
01:28:05,400 --> 01:28:08,080
Speaker 1: and actually more hits. I think he's someone who, because

1757
01:28:08,120 --> 01:28:10,040
Speaker 1: of the his ability to kind of throw off platform

1758
01:28:10,280 --> 01:28:12,360
Speaker 1: and his athleticism, that could probably be a little bit

1759
01:28:12,400 --> 01:28:14,320
Speaker 1: more dynamic if you get out of the pocket. And

1760
01:28:14,360 --> 01:28:16,240
Speaker 1: I think Robert Sali is an interesting one for me

1761
01:28:16,360 --> 01:28:19,640
Speaker 1: because defensive guy. I thought his defense wasn't very good

1762
01:28:19,760 --> 01:28:22,759
Speaker 1: last year. Some of that is personnel, and they've addressed

1763
01:28:22,800 --> 01:28:25,160
Speaker 1: some of that, but they had some pieces and I'm

1764
01:28:25,200 --> 01:28:27,560
Speaker 1: just you know, if if that's what you came in

1765
01:28:28,040 --> 01:28:31,160
Speaker 1: known for and that doesn't perform well, if it starts

1766
01:28:31,200 --> 01:28:34,680
Speaker 1: off slowly there again, I wonder. Yeah, it's gonna be

1767
01:28:34,720 --> 01:28:37,519
Speaker 1: an interesting division, to say the least, be interesting to

1768
01:28:37,560 --> 01:28:40,760
Speaker 1: see how it stacks up. Hopefully behind the Bills, every

1769
01:28:40,920 --> 01:28:42,560
Speaker 1: Bills and everybody else would be a nice way for

1770
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:45,920
Speaker 1: it would be. But I would be surprised if it's not.

1771
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:48,880
Speaker 1: I mean, look, there would some things would have to

1772
01:28:48,920 --> 01:28:50,760
Speaker 1: go wrong. Yeah, I think, But I think a lot

1773
01:28:50,800 --> 01:28:53,200
Speaker 1: of people not only because they want to see it,

1774
01:28:53,320 --> 01:28:56,040
Speaker 1: but I think it may happen because of what has

1775
01:28:56,080 --> 01:28:57,840
Speaker 1: failed to happen in New England. I think they're looking

1776
01:28:57,880 --> 01:29:00,360
Speaker 1: for a slide from from the Patriots a little not

1777
01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,719
Speaker 1: to the basement of the division, but maybe behind Miami,

1778
01:29:03,840 --> 01:29:06,360
Speaker 1: if Miami can put some things together. If you ask

1779
01:29:06,439 --> 01:29:08,600
Speaker 1: me right now, I'd say they're in eight win team Patriots. Now,

1780
01:29:09,040 --> 01:29:11,080
Speaker 1: if Mac elevates and some of these guys that I'm

1781
01:29:11,160 --> 01:29:13,680
Speaker 1: not sure I can play or still have anything left

1782
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:15,280
Speaker 1: in the tank, if those guys can play, maybe it's

1783
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:19,880
Speaker 1: a nine or ten but right now, yeah, exactly not

1784
01:29:20,000 --> 01:29:23,080
Speaker 1: what you want going into the regular season. Mike, thanks

1785
01:29:23,120 --> 01:29:25,080
Speaker 1: for joining us. Good to see out here at Bills camp.

1786
01:29:25,240 --> 01:29:26,680
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with you down the line in the

1787
01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:30,040
Speaker 1: regular season. That's Mike Giardi from NFL Network. We take

1788
01:29:30,080 --> 01:29:31,960
Speaker 1: a break. We're back with more Here on one Bills

1789
01:29:32,000 --> 01:29:51,680
Speaker 1: Live presented by Kalida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio. All right,

1790
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:54,800
Speaker 1: we're back here at training camp breaking it down for

1791
01:29:54,920 --> 01:29:58,360
Speaker 1: you Here on one Bills Live. On A two or

1792
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:01,600
Speaker 1: what is it? It's Monday. I was working yesterday on

1793
01:30:01,680 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 1: a Sunday. I am all screwed up already. I don't

1794
01:30:04,560 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 1: even know what day it is. That usually doesn't happen

1795
01:30:06,479 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 1: until I'm four or five days into training camp. I'm

1796
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,280
Speaker 1: already out of sorts. It is Monday here at training camp.

1797
01:30:12,400 --> 01:30:15,679
Speaker 1: It is day two with day one happening on Sunday.

1798
01:30:16,040 --> 01:30:18,360
Speaker 1: Wanted to get back to some of your thoughts on

1799
01:30:18,479 --> 01:30:22,920
Speaker 1: the tweeteat today as we were asking you what should

1800
01:30:23,120 --> 01:30:25,960
Speaker 1: be the main focus for the Bills during this year's

1801
01:30:26,000 --> 01:30:29,599
Speaker 1: training camp. We've heard pass rush, We've heard getting Kayer

1802
01:30:29,720 --> 01:30:32,519
Speaker 1: Elam ready to start because there are some of you

1803
01:30:32,640 --> 01:30:35,479
Speaker 1: out there that are not expecting tradevious White to be

1804
01:30:35,600 --> 01:30:38,600
Speaker 1: ready for a week one. I hope you're wrong, but

1805
01:30:38,920 --> 01:30:40,800
Speaker 1: let's go back to the tweet, cheat and get some

1806
01:30:40,880 --> 01:30:45,719
Speaker 1: of your thoughts there. Gabe says, like Dig said this morning,

1807
01:30:46,240 --> 01:30:49,200
Speaker 1: stacking good days and building the foundation of the team's

1808
01:30:49,600 --> 01:30:52,840
Speaker 1: identity because like Josh said, it's a new group with

1809
01:30:52,960 --> 01:30:55,840
Speaker 1: new challenges and nothing is set from last year or

1810
01:30:56,479 --> 01:31:00,519
Speaker 1: four next year. Yeah, that's right. I mean is kind

1811
01:31:00,520 --> 01:31:02,439
Speaker 1: of stating the obvious a little bit. Every year the

1812
01:31:02,479 --> 01:31:04,760
Speaker 1: team is different. You get about a twenty five to

1813
01:31:04,880 --> 01:31:08,120
Speaker 1: thirty percent turnover in this league on rosters, so yeah,

1814
01:31:08,160 --> 01:31:10,960
Speaker 1: it is very much a new team. I heard Brandon

1815
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:14,720
Speaker 1: Bean say the first day of camp twenty or maybe

1816
01:31:14,800 --> 01:31:18,240
Speaker 1: with Sean, he said, only twenty five percent of the

1817
01:31:18,360 --> 01:31:21,519
Speaker 1: roster has been to Bill's training camp here at Saint

1818
01:31:21,600 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 1: John Fisher from the twenty nineteen training camp. That just

1819
01:31:25,160 --> 01:31:27,160
Speaker 1: gives you an idea on how much the roster does

1820
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:32,320
Speaker 1: turn over. So yeah, I would say, yeah, there will

1821
01:31:32,360 --> 01:31:35,040
Speaker 1: be new challenges. We know that every NFL season has

1822
01:31:35,080 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 1: peaks and valleys, So when they hit the valley, can

1823
01:31:38,640 --> 01:31:42,680
Speaker 1: they minimize the damage and pull themselves out of it

1824
01:31:43,080 --> 01:31:45,839
Speaker 1: sooner rather than later? They had some one week hiccups

1825
01:31:45,920 --> 01:31:50,040
Speaker 1: last year against Jacksonville and against Indianapolis. They righted the

1826
01:31:50,120 --> 01:31:52,720
Speaker 1: ships soon thereafter. They're going to have to do the

1827
01:31:52,800 --> 01:31:56,000
Speaker 1: same when maybe they come out and don't perform at

1828
01:31:56,040 --> 01:32:00,360
Speaker 1: their level best. So, yes, that requires a new kind

1829
01:32:00,479 --> 01:32:02,800
Speaker 1: of identity each and every year because the team is new.

1830
01:32:03,479 --> 01:32:08,679
Speaker 1: Josh on the tweet sheet says, focus on being patiently urgent.

1831
01:32:09,360 --> 01:32:11,639
Speaker 1: Take one session at a time, one snap at a time,

1832
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:13,720
Speaker 1: one meeting at a time, Take it seriously, take it

1833
01:32:13,800 --> 01:32:17,280
Speaker 1: to heart, attack the challenges presented each day. Be present,

1834
01:32:17,360 --> 01:32:20,559
Speaker 1: be focused, be ready. I think this is a lot

1835
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:23,120
Speaker 1: of what Sean McDermott has preached from the day that

1836
01:32:23,200 --> 01:32:27,080
Speaker 1: he got here, and fortunately for him now entering year six,

1837
01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:32,719
Speaker 1: it's almost automatic. There is so much of this roster

1838
01:32:32,880 --> 01:32:37,680
Speaker 1: that knows how trusting the process works that putting it

1839
01:32:37,800 --> 01:32:44,080
Speaker 1: into action is almost reflexive. It's a reflex not something

1840
01:32:44,200 --> 01:32:47,960
Speaker 1: they have to ardently work at. Certainly, the new guys

1841
01:32:48,080 --> 01:32:51,840
Speaker 1: are getting adjusted to the way the daily operation goes

1842
01:32:52,360 --> 01:32:55,280
Speaker 1: with this club, but for the vast majority of this

1843
01:32:55,479 --> 01:32:59,280
Speaker 1: roster it is wash Rinton repeat. It is just old hat.

1844
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,600
Speaker 1: They do it every single day, and it's not a

1845
01:33:02,640 --> 01:33:05,200
Speaker 1: heavy lift by any means, and that's why this team

1846
01:33:05,240 --> 01:33:08,679
Speaker 1: has been more often than not so consistently good over

1847
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:11,760
Speaker 1: the last five years. All Right, we'll get to back

1848
01:33:11,800 --> 01:33:13,320
Speaker 1: to more of your thoughts on the tweet sheet a

1849
01:33:13,320 --> 01:33:14,880
Speaker 1: little bit later in the show. We have to take

1850
01:33:14,920 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 1: a break here, but when we returned, my colleague Bills

1851
01:33:18,040 --> 01:33:19,960
Speaker 1: reporter Maddi Glab will join us. We'll get some of

1852
01:33:20,040 --> 01:33:23,760
Speaker 1: her thoughts on her Day two observations and Day one

1853
01:33:23,840 --> 01:33:27,400
Speaker 1: for that matter, from here at Saint John Fisher University

1854
01:33:27,479 --> 01:33:31,040
Speaker 1: Bills training Camp, among some other subjects, including some of

1855
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,120
Speaker 1: the comments we did not have time to bring you

1856
01:33:33,520 --> 01:33:37,160
Speaker 1: on Dawson Knox about his future as a Buffalo Bill.

1857
01:33:37,280 --> 01:33:40,400
Speaker 1: He is entering the final year of his rookie contract

1858
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,439
Speaker 1: this season. All of that coming your way next with

1859
01:33:43,560 --> 01:33:46,040
Speaker 1: Maddie Glab here on One Bill's Live, presented by Kaloid

1860
01:33:46,040 --> 01:34:08,960
Speaker 1: of Health. It's Buffalo Bill's Radio at a Steve Tasker

1861
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:11,759
Speaker 1: who has been all all over the field. Kind of unique.

1862
01:34:11,760 --> 01:34:14,040
Speaker 1: He was kind of a dual role player for you, Steve,

1863
01:34:15,360 --> 01:34:20,320
Speaker 1: Steve a blimp. We're not even in the credit fear

1864
01:34:20,680 --> 01:34:28,519
Speaker 1: of normalcy. All right, Welcome to our number three of

1865
01:34:28,560 --> 01:34:31,559
Speaker 1: a special three hour edition of One Bill's Live. Chris

1866
01:34:31,680 --> 01:34:35,280
Speaker 1: Brown joined by Bill's reporter Maddie glab As. We've been

1867
01:34:35,680 --> 01:34:37,680
Speaker 1: kind of shouldered his shoulder on the sidelines here the

1868
01:34:37,800 --> 01:34:40,200
Speaker 1: last or the first two days of training camp, and

1869
01:34:41,800 --> 01:34:45,400
Speaker 1: it's been fun. We got some got some guys dancing

1870
01:34:45,439 --> 01:34:50,599
Speaker 1: out there and it was the defensive linemen. We're feeling it. Um.

1871
01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:55,040
Speaker 1: You can go to the Bills social media site and

1872
01:34:55,400 --> 01:34:58,240
Speaker 1: catch some of their moves. Von Miller was kind of

1873
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:02,479
Speaker 1: leading the charge there, but Ed Oliver was getting into it.

1874
01:35:03,080 --> 01:35:05,479
Speaker 1: Jordan Phillis was moving around a bit, there was some others.

1875
01:35:08,120 --> 01:35:10,000
Speaker 1: Was there a little electric slide in there, and there

1876
01:35:10,240 --> 01:35:13,880
Speaker 1: was Ed's always been a dancer during practice at Oliver

1877
01:35:14,240 --> 01:35:17,040
Speaker 1: and I think he finally has his mate to dance

1878
01:35:17,160 --> 01:35:20,519
Speaker 1: next too, and it's Von Miller, So I'm glad those

1879
01:35:20,600 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 1: two already have some chemistry a bruin and building during

1880
01:35:24,880 --> 01:35:28,040
Speaker 1: training camp. It's been fun to watch Von get in

1881
01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 1: the fold with the defensive line. It's been cool to

1882
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:33,160
Speaker 1: listen to a lot of the players and Leslie Fraser

1883
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:36,240
Speaker 1: spoke about it this morning. You know, some guys when

1884
01:35:36,280 --> 01:35:38,519
Speaker 1: they're coming on to a new team, they want to

1885
01:35:38,560 --> 01:35:40,760
Speaker 1: get their own stuff down first. They want to learn

1886
01:35:40,800 --> 01:35:44,120
Speaker 1: a new defense, a defense that isn't the easiest to

1887
01:35:44,200 --> 01:35:47,479
Speaker 1: pick up here before, kind of helping other people along,

1888
01:35:47,560 --> 01:35:50,519
Speaker 1: and Leslie said that Von's been arms wide open to

1889
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:53,160
Speaker 1: helping all of these young guys who are eager to

1890
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:56,120
Speaker 1: learn from a star like Von Miller. Maybe some dance

1891
01:35:56,200 --> 01:35:59,040
Speaker 1: moves too, right right. And I think we also know

1892
01:35:59,320 --> 01:36:02,799
Speaker 1: that Jordan Billips and Shack Lawson are two quote unquote

1893
01:36:02,920 --> 01:36:07,000
Speaker 1: energy guys, so they're not shy. I still remember them

1894
01:36:07,439 --> 01:36:10,360
Speaker 1: mugging to the camera on the Thanksgiving game and Dallas,

1895
01:36:10,840 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 1: you know, doing the Zeke Elliott, you know, feed me,

1896
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:16,360
Speaker 1: feed Me move. And you mentioned the last time we

1897
01:36:16,479 --> 01:36:18,840
Speaker 1: saw like the entire D line. It wasn't the entire

1898
01:36:18,960 --> 01:36:21,680
Speaker 1: D line today, but there was a camp practice in

1899
01:36:21,760 --> 01:36:24,639
Speaker 1: twenty nineteen where the entire D line was. I don't

1900
01:36:24,640 --> 01:36:26,760
Speaker 1: know if it was an electric slider, if they were

1901
01:36:26,840 --> 01:36:30,920
Speaker 1: just dancing around, freestyling, whatever, but you were brought back

1902
01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:33,040
Speaker 1: to that moment today at camp when you saw us

1903
01:36:33,040 --> 01:36:34,840
Speaker 1: on the dlex. The first thing I thought of, yeah,

1904
01:36:34,880 --> 01:36:37,040
Speaker 1: because we've seen that on social media a couple of times.

1905
01:36:37,080 --> 01:36:39,439
Speaker 1: Somebody even revived at saying I'm ready for camp and

1906
01:36:39,520 --> 01:36:41,640
Speaker 1: they put that clip up. That's a great clue when

1907
01:36:41,680 --> 01:36:46,479
Speaker 1: everybody dancing around. We played a portion of Dawson Knox's

1908
01:36:46,600 --> 01:36:48,880
Speaker 1: interview here earlier in the show. We ran out of

1909
01:36:48,920 --> 01:36:52,680
Speaker 1: time because Brandon Bean showed up, but the part that

1910
01:36:52,800 --> 01:36:56,080
Speaker 1: we missed was pretty important. It was concerning the future

1911
01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:58,760
Speaker 1: of Dawson Knox because he is entering the final year

1912
01:36:58,840 --> 01:37:01,439
Speaker 1: of his rookie deal year in twenty twenty two. So

1913
01:37:01,560 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 1: why don't you share with us what he said concerning

1914
01:37:05,080 --> 01:37:08,200
Speaker 1: his future as a Buffalo Bill. Yeah. Well, first of all,

1915
01:37:08,360 --> 01:37:11,160
Speaker 1: I think you blink and it's Dawson Knox's fourth year.

1916
01:37:11,560 --> 01:37:14,519
Speaker 1: Someone said, Dawson, you're going into year four before they

1917
01:37:14,560 --> 01:37:17,960
Speaker 1: asked their question, and I was like, oh my gosh, Like,

1918
01:37:18,200 --> 01:37:20,800
Speaker 1: of course I knew it, but in that moment I

1919
01:37:20,880 --> 01:37:23,040
Speaker 1: had forgotten it for a second. Can't believe that he's

1920
01:37:23,080 --> 01:37:26,120
Speaker 1: going into the final year of his rookie deal. But

1921
01:37:26,280 --> 01:37:30,120
Speaker 1: he was asked about okay, extension, it's time to talk

1922
01:37:30,200 --> 01:37:33,240
Speaker 1: about those things. I'm sure you've thought about those things already,

1923
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:35,880
Speaker 1: and he quickly said, you know, I'll let Brandon Bean

1924
01:37:36,200 --> 01:37:40,720
Speaker 1: handle that. That's not my deal to do. But he

1925
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:42,759
Speaker 1: was asked about it later on in the press conference

1926
01:37:42,800 --> 01:37:44,800
Speaker 1: and opened up a little bit and said, look, I

1927
01:37:44,880 --> 01:37:47,040
Speaker 1: would love to be here. I want to be here.

1928
01:37:47,160 --> 01:37:49,880
Speaker 1: I've verbalized that my agent knows that I would like

1929
01:37:50,040 --> 01:37:52,920
Speaker 1: an extension here. And hey, I just bought a house

1930
01:37:53,360 --> 01:37:56,120
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park a couple months ago or a couple

1931
01:37:56,120 --> 01:37:58,559
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, can't remember what he said, but he said,

1932
01:37:58,840 --> 01:38:01,360
Speaker 1: I didn't buy a house just to you know, buy

1933
01:38:01,400 --> 01:38:03,880
Speaker 1: a house for a year, right, especially going into the

1934
01:38:03,960 --> 01:38:06,080
Speaker 1: last year of a contract. He wants to be here

1935
01:38:06,160 --> 01:38:09,800
Speaker 1: for multiple years. I think he and you get the

1936
01:38:09,960 --> 01:38:13,120
Speaker 1: sense of like of that when you talk to him,

1937
01:38:13,120 --> 01:38:15,680
Speaker 1: when you have a conversation with him. I got to

1938
01:38:15,800 --> 01:38:18,439
Speaker 1: follow him around at Media Day this year and I

1939
01:38:18,560 --> 01:38:20,920
Speaker 1: was together with him for like an hour and a half,

1940
01:38:21,520 --> 01:38:23,720
Speaker 1: and he was talking about getting that house and and

1941
01:38:23,920 --> 01:38:26,120
Speaker 1: just really wanting to be here. I don't think that's

1942
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,920
Speaker 1: a shock to anybody that's a fan of this team,

1943
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:32,320
Speaker 1: that covers this team, that's on this team. I think

1944
01:38:32,439 --> 01:38:35,519
Speaker 1: he's he's ready to put down roots here in Buffalo,

1945
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:40,240
Speaker 1: in Orchard Park. He enjoys the community, he enjoys his teammates,

1946
01:38:40,280 --> 01:38:42,880
Speaker 1: he enjoys this team, and he kind of strikes you

1947
01:38:42,960 --> 01:38:46,439
Speaker 1: as the guy that if he likes somewhere, he's he's

1948
01:38:46,760 --> 01:38:48,920
Speaker 1: good to be there for as long as he can be.

1949
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:53,200
Speaker 1: The reason that fans get concerned is because they see

1950
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:55,519
Speaker 1: the contracts that other tight end sign, the most recent

1951
01:38:55,600 --> 01:38:58,080
Speaker 1: of which is the Brown's tight end David and Joku,

1952
01:38:58,680 --> 01:39:01,559
Speaker 1: who earlier this offseason signed a four year deal worth

1953
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:05,200
Speaker 1: fifty four and three quarter million dollars with almost an

1954
01:39:05,200 --> 01:39:08,040
Speaker 1: eleven and a half million dollars signing bonus. And so

1955
01:39:08,320 --> 01:39:11,920
Speaker 1: they say, oh my gosh, because we know how contracts work, Maddie.

1956
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:14,160
Speaker 1: For premiere tight ends, they don't go down, they go up,

1957
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:17,840
Speaker 1: just like everything else. So I think they know that

1958
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:22,759
Speaker 1: with Josh's contract starting to balloon next year, Tremaine Edmonds,

1959
01:39:22,840 --> 01:39:26,920
Speaker 1: at Oliver, Devin Singletary, all these other young core type

1960
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:31,120
Speaker 1: players in the pipeline for new deals, they see bigger

1961
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:33,400
Speaker 1: deals elsewhere and they work. I think I'll be able

1962
01:39:33,439 --> 01:39:36,080
Speaker 1: to fit all these guys in. But there's a sense

1963
01:39:36,200 --> 01:39:37,960
Speaker 1: that I have that Knox is going to be a

1964
01:39:38,200 --> 01:39:42,519
Speaker 1: major priority amongst that group of players that we're talking about.

1965
01:39:42,560 --> 01:39:46,000
Speaker 1: I think it's Oliver and Knox first and then everybody

1966
01:39:46,040 --> 01:39:49,439
Speaker 1: else after that. In all likelihood, at least that's how

1967
01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,720
Speaker 1: I see it. I don't I would agree with that.

1968
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,679
Speaker 1: And Knox is going to get what he deserves because

1969
01:39:54,800 --> 01:39:57,560
Speaker 1: he's a great tight end and he proved that this

1970
01:39:57,720 --> 01:40:00,439
Speaker 1: past season and is going to continue to prove that

1971
01:40:00,560 --> 01:40:04,080
Speaker 1: this season. But when you look at money and salary

1972
01:40:04,240 --> 01:40:06,679
Speaker 1: cap and you start to you know, crunch the numbers,

1973
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,720
Speaker 1: Knox also strikes me as a type of player that

1974
01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:13,360
Speaker 1: is going to be okay with taking a team friendly deal. Okay,

1975
01:40:13,640 --> 01:40:16,080
Speaker 1: I don't think he's gonna you want to get what

1976
01:40:16,200 --> 01:40:18,280
Speaker 1: you can get, of course in your in your second

1977
01:40:18,400 --> 01:40:23,560
Speaker 1: contract as an NFL player, and deservingly so because of

1978
01:40:23,640 --> 01:40:26,679
Speaker 1: what he's been able to put on paper put on film.

1979
01:40:27,479 --> 01:40:31,080
Speaker 1: But I think when you're looking at numbers and maybe

1980
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:32,800
Speaker 1: how much he wants to be here, I think he

1981
01:40:32,920 --> 01:40:35,360
Speaker 1: really wants to be here. So so maybe a Matt

1982
01:40:35,400 --> 01:40:39,519
Speaker 1: Milano type of contract is friendly type deal, whether it's

1983
01:40:39,600 --> 01:40:42,600
Speaker 1: the money kicks him later, or however Brandon Bean wants to,

1984
01:40:43,080 --> 01:40:45,439
Speaker 1: you know, organize something like that. Yeah, I think his

1985
01:40:45,560 --> 01:40:49,680
Speaker 1: agent will fight for appropriate money for his production. And

1986
01:40:49,840 --> 01:40:52,240
Speaker 1: you know, he is coming off a nine touchdown season

1987
01:40:52,360 --> 01:40:55,200
Speaker 1: last year, which was one off the team lead. So

1988
01:40:56,000 --> 01:40:59,240
Speaker 1: I think it was digs with ten and yeah, but

1989
01:40:59,600 --> 01:41:02,559
Speaker 1: I think there's a good chance we could be looking

1990
01:41:02,600 --> 01:41:06,960
Speaker 1: at top ten at his position type money, which can

1991
01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,479
Speaker 1: get expensive, but as we know, you can structure things

1992
01:41:09,560 --> 01:41:13,080
Speaker 1: creatively and make it work, so hopefully that is in

1993
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:19,040
Speaker 1: fact the case. What about through two days, what if

1994
01:41:19,080 --> 01:41:22,120
Speaker 1: you had to give the top things that have stood

1995
01:41:22,160 --> 01:41:25,120
Speaker 1: out to you on the field specifically, maybe not anything

1996
01:41:25,160 --> 01:41:28,360
Speaker 1: anybody said, but strictly from the field, knowing that a

1997
01:41:28,439 --> 01:41:31,800
Speaker 1: lot of our listeners can't get here and view it themselves,

1998
01:41:31,960 --> 01:41:34,960
Speaker 1: what might be a couple of things that have caught

1999
01:41:35,080 --> 01:41:38,000
Speaker 1: your eye over the first two days. I think defense

2000
01:41:38,040 --> 01:41:41,479
Speaker 1: has had a really strong two days. They definitely pop today.

2001
01:41:41,920 --> 01:41:44,600
Speaker 1: I know you tweeted out so that I had four interceptions.

2002
01:41:44,720 --> 01:41:48,960
Speaker 1: Nick McCleod had two of those four. Dane Jackson had

2003
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:51,800
Speaker 1: a really nice pass breakup, so did Taryn Johnson. So

2004
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:55,280
Speaker 1: it's been nice to see the defense shine, and usually

2005
01:41:55,360 --> 01:41:58,240
Speaker 1: they do early on in training camp. But with as

2006
01:41:58,360 --> 01:42:01,160
Speaker 1: good as with as good of an offense that we

2007
01:42:01,360 --> 01:42:04,960
Speaker 1: have here, you look back to practices last year and

2008
01:42:05,600 --> 01:42:08,880
Speaker 1: it's the offense would normally dominate practices. Not saying that

2009
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:11,960
Speaker 1: the defense isn't good because the defense was number one

2010
01:42:12,080 --> 01:42:14,080
Speaker 1: in the league last year, but the offense is a

2011
01:42:14,120 --> 01:42:16,679
Speaker 1: really good offense, and so it's it's nice to see

2012
01:42:16,680 --> 01:42:18,479
Speaker 1: the defense get off to a little bit of a

2013
01:42:18,520 --> 01:42:21,599
Speaker 1: hot start in training camp here with some new faces

2014
01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,080
Speaker 1: on the defense as well. But when you look at

2015
01:42:24,120 --> 01:42:26,200
Speaker 1: the offense, it's been fun to see some of the

2016
01:42:26,320 --> 01:42:29,000
Speaker 1: new players get involved right away. And I'm talking about

2017
01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:32,439
Speaker 1: James Cook and Khalil Shakier. They've been handed the ball

2018
01:42:32,600 --> 01:42:36,080
Speaker 1: quite a bit. It's been nice to see James Cook

2019
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:40,960
Speaker 1: involved in the passing game end of things. He when

2020
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,519
Speaker 1: he has the ball in his hand, he looks like

2021
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:45,640
Speaker 1: he's floating out there. I don't know if that's the

2022
01:42:45,760 --> 01:42:49,240
Speaker 1: perfect terminology, but he's just very smooth with the ball

2023
01:42:49,280 --> 01:42:51,120
Speaker 1: in his hands. With the rouse that he can run,

2024
01:42:52,080 --> 01:42:54,599
Speaker 1: you know, you label him as a running back. He's

2025
01:42:54,640 --> 01:42:57,519
Speaker 1: got some great skill sets as a great skill sets

2026
01:42:57,560 --> 01:43:00,200
Speaker 1: as a receiver, and you can see that already in

2027
01:43:00,320 --> 01:43:03,599
Speaker 1: day one, day two of training camp. He learned at

2028
01:43:03,680 --> 01:43:06,360
Speaker 1: Georgia and he was he was involved in the mix

2029
01:43:06,439 --> 01:43:08,320
Speaker 1: a lot there. Had to wait his turn, like we've

2030
01:43:08,360 --> 01:43:11,519
Speaker 1: talked about before. But I think he's going to be

2031
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:16,160
Speaker 1: an important piece to the offense this year. No matter

2032
01:43:16,240 --> 01:43:18,320
Speaker 1: how much they use him, when he's on the field,

2033
01:43:18,320 --> 01:43:20,400
Speaker 1: you're going to have to account for him. And then

2034
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:23,880
Speaker 1: Khalil shaker a guy who Brandon Bean has kind of

2035
01:43:23,880 --> 01:43:26,200
Speaker 1: talked about as being a steel in the draft for him,

2036
01:43:26,240 --> 01:43:28,760
Speaker 1: somebody that was sticking out on the draft board when

2037
01:43:28,760 --> 01:43:31,240
Speaker 1: they were able to draft him. They might have a

2038
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 1: thing for wide receivers. Gave Davis Khalil Shakier. Yeah, is

2039
01:43:37,280 --> 01:43:40,120
Speaker 1: this going to be another player? Maybe doesn't turn out

2040
01:43:40,120 --> 01:43:42,559
Speaker 1: to be exactly like Gabe Davis, but somebody who who

2041
01:43:42,680 --> 01:43:45,519
Speaker 1: they think the great value for for where they got

2042
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:49,120
Speaker 1: him in the NFL draft. He had some great routes

2043
01:43:49,120 --> 01:43:53,120
Speaker 1: that he ran. Today ended practice with an awesome catch.

2044
01:43:53,200 --> 01:43:56,400
Speaker 1: It came from Matt Barkley. I believe he was pretty

2045
01:43:56,439 --> 01:43:59,320
Speaker 1: tightly covered there. I can't remember who was guarding him

2046
01:43:59,400 --> 01:44:01,720
Speaker 1: on that last play, but had a great catch and

2047
01:44:01,760 --> 01:44:04,960
Speaker 1: had a couple really nice catches today. So I've enjoyed

2048
01:44:05,080 --> 01:44:07,960
Speaker 1: seeing some of the younger players get involved right away.

2049
01:44:08,520 --> 01:44:11,519
Speaker 1: Of course, you've had your Stefan Diggs catches and your

2050
01:44:11,560 --> 01:44:14,800
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis catches, and Isaiah McKenzie has been involved, and

2051
01:44:14,880 --> 01:44:18,160
Speaker 1: so is James and Crowder names that you would expect

2052
01:44:18,240 --> 01:44:20,439
Speaker 1: to see in training camp on the first couple of days.

2053
01:44:20,880 --> 01:44:23,439
Speaker 1: But those are just a couple other names that stood

2054
01:44:23,479 --> 01:44:26,360
Speaker 1: out in my opinion. Yeah, and I think the word

2055
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:29,200
Speaker 1: you used for Cook when you tweeted was smooth. I

2056
01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:31,960
Speaker 1: used fluid, And that's kind of what. I don't know.

2057
01:44:32,160 --> 01:44:36,040
Speaker 1: He just kind of he just kind of glides around. Yeah,

2058
01:44:36,160 --> 01:44:39,799
Speaker 1: it's effortless for him, and it's just extraordinary athletic ability

2059
01:44:39,800 --> 01:44:41,920
Speaker 1: that allows him to do that. You mentioned Shaqire, I

2060
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:45,640
Speaker 1: know I did too. I think what it is with

2061
01:44:45,920 --> 01:44:49,920
Speaker 1: him is there's just this I don't want to say.

2062
01:44:50,000 --> 01:44:53,200
Speaker 1: He rounds off routes, which you know, receivers they almost

2063
01:44:53,240 --> 01:44:55,240
Speaker 1: tell you never to do that. I just think he's

2064
01:44:55,479 --> 01:45:00,200
Speaker 1: he's another fluid guy in space, and he had as

2065
01:45:00,200 --> 01:45:02,680
Speaker 1: a feel for coverage, it seems, even though he's a

2066
01:45:02,760 --> 01:45:06,160
Speaker 1: very young player, so he knows where to sit. He

2067
01:45:06,320 --> 01:45:08,920
Speaker 1: recognizes his zone quickly and says, all right, here's the

2068
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 1: void in the defense. I'm going to sit here. And

2069
01:45:11,680 --> 01:45:15,160
Speaker 1: for a rookie, and I know it's not totally real

2070
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,840
Speaker 1: football yet, and maybe when it gets more physical, maybe

2071
01:45:17,880 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 1: those releases don't come as easily because he's not a

2072
01:45:20,800 --> 01:45:24,519
Speaker 1: big guy, but right now he gets off the line,

2073
01:45:24,680 --> 01:45:26,560
Speaker 1: he gets into his route quickly, and he makes a

2074
01:45:26,680 --> 01:45:29,000
Speaker 1: decision in the snap of a finger. And not all

2075
01:45:29,120 --> 01:45:32,200
Speaker 1: young receivers are able to do that this early in

2076
01:45:32,320 --> 01:45:36,280
Speaker 1: their career against a defense with this kind of athleticism.

2077
01:45:36,400 --> 01:45:38,760
Speaker 1: So to see that in the early going, I think

2078
01:45:38,880 --> 01:45:45,880
Speaker 1: is definitely an encouraging sign. We see, Maddie, there's still

2079
01:45:45,960 --> 01:45:48,960
Speaker 1: some moving parts going on right now on the offensive

2080
01:45:49,040 --> 01:45:52,840
Speaker 1: line with Roger Saffold out. They actually add a guard today.

2081
01:45:53,439 --> 01:45:55,400
Speaker 1: We had been on earlier today. He said, yeah, it's

2082
01:45:55,479 --> 01:45:59,960
Speaker 1: it's due mainly to Saffold's absence to get Jordan Simmons

2083
01:46:00,160 --> 01:46:02,160
Speaker 1: in here at the guard position to kind of help

2084
01:46:02,720 --> 01:46:05,439
Speaker 1: keep the numbers up so people don't get overtaxed and

2085
01:46:05,520 --> 01:46:10,120
Speaker 1: then you can be susceptible to injuries. But we see

2086
01:46:10,160 --> 01:46:13,400
Speaker 1: them moving people through like Cody Ford, you know, it

2087
01:46:13,520 --> 01:46:15,840
Speaker 1: was kind of getting some reps early. Then we saw

2088
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:19,320
Speaker 1: David Kessenberry, who was playing tackle now playing some guards,

2089
01:46:19,360 --> 01:46:22,920
Speaker 1: so he's shown some position flexibility and Tommy Doyle's that

2090
01:46:23,040 --> 01:46:26,280
Speaker 1: moved him there too. Yeah, this is the time to

2091
01:46:26,720 --> 01:46:30,600
Speaker 1: rotate guys to see who fits in a position, to

2092
01:46:30,680 --> 01:46:34,080
Speaker 1: see who's comfortable where to start to get down your

2093
01:46:34,200 --> 01:46:36,360
Speaker 1: your final five if you want to call it that.

2094
01:46:37,439 --> 01:46:41,400
Speaker 1: But going back to something that Leslie Frazier said today,

2095
01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:44,519
Speaker 1: he was asked about some of the younger safeties and

2096
01:46:44,920 --> 01:46:49,200
Speaker 1: how he feels about their comfortability of being rolled into

2097
01:46:49,320 --> 01:46:53,719
Speaker 1: things if need be, and basically asking I can't remember

2098
01:46:53,760 --> 01:46:56,519
Speaker 1: who asked it, but you know guys like Jaquan Johnson,

2099
01:46:56,920 --> 01:46:58,800
Speaker 1: is it even tough for him because he really doesn't

2100
01:46:58,840 --> 01:47:01,200
Speaker 1: get the reps and Leslie like, well, he got the

2101
01:47:01,280 --> 01:47:04,960
Speaker 1: reps during OTAs and mandatory mini camp because Jordan Poyer

2102
01:47:05,120 --> 01:47:08,160
Speaker 1: and Mike hiber were in and out of things. Same

2103
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:10,519
Speaker 1: case could be said for Roger Staffield. Of course we

2104
01:47:10,680 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 1: want him on the field right now. He's a new player,

2105
01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:15,920
Speaker 1: so he needs to learn blocking schemes and things like that.

2106
01:47:16,560 --> 01:47:18,760
Speaker 1: But it gives an opportunity to a younger guy to

2107
01:47:18,840 --> 01:47:22,040
Speaker 1: be able to step up and maybe find a depth

2108
01:47:22,160 --> 01:47:26,439
Speaker 1: position in that offensive line room. It's gonna be like

2109
01:47:26,640 --> 01:47:29,320
Speaker 1: the defensive line, a lot of competition there. Those are

2110
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:32,559
Speaker 1: two position groups that Brandon being talked about yesterday when

2111
01:47:32,600 --> 01:47:35,479
Speaker 1: he was asked about where his eyes would be when

2112
01:47:35,520 --> 01:47:38,040
Speaker 1: he's watching practice, and he said the offensive line and

2113
01:47:38,120 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 1: defensive line because of the competition that's going to be there.

2114
01:47:41,080 --> 01:47:44,360
Speaker 1: So for guys like Tommy Doyle, for guys like Cody

2115
01:47:44,439 --> 01:47:47,639
Speaker 1: Ford who's trying to work back into something, I think

2116
01:47:47,720 --> 01:47:50,799
Speaker 1: these are very very valuable reps early on in training

2117
01:47:50,880 --> 01:47:53,800
Speaker 1: camp that who knows if they're gonna be there once

2118
01:47:53,960 --> 01:47:57,000
Speaker 1: Roger Staffold or be there as much once Roger Staffeld

2119
01:47:57,200 --> 01:48:00,080
Speaker 1: gets back into the mix, which Brandon Bean said he

2120
01:48:00,160 --> 01:48:03,519
Speaker 1: believes that Saffold will be back in the mix before

2121
01:48:03,640 --> 01:48:08,560
Speaker 1: the season begins. Yeah, and you know, Tommy Doyle, the

2122
01:48:08,680 --> 01:48:11,520
Speaker 1: guy had his hands full. I mean, based on the rotations.

2123
01:48:11,680 --> 01:48:15,639
Speaker 1: Sometimes he saw Greg Russo, sometimes he saw Von Miller

2124
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 1: and Dion Dawkins much the same. And in the team

2125
01:48:20,400 --> 01:48:24,120
Speaker 1: setting second day of camp, those guys are flying off

2126
01:48:24,200 --> 01:48:27,000
Speaker 1: the ball and Dion had his hands full with Von

2127
01:48:27,120 --> 01:48:29,760
Speaker 1: as you would express, a pretty good day to day. Yeah.

2128
01:48:30,840 --> 01:48:32,880
Speaker 1: We were actually talking earlier on the show on how

2129
01:48:32,960 --> 01:48:36,439
Speaker 1: he actually had to fall down. He purposely fell down

2130
01:48:36,520 --> 01:48:38,640
Speaker 1: to avoid hitting Josh as he was stepping up in

2131
01:48:38,680 --> 01:48:41,320
Speaker 1: the pocket because it would have been a blistering hit

2132
01:48:41,400 --> 01:48:44,080
Speaker 1: and a sack and he had to pull up, you know,

2133
01:48:44,120 --> 01:48:45,920
Speaker 1: because as you know, he can't hit the quarterback, so

2134
01:48:46,600 --> 01:48:49,760
Speaker 1: he actually purposely fell on the ground, but he had

2135
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:52,840
Speaker 1: moved that. He had beaten um Dion Dawkins with an

2136
01:48:52,880 --> 01:48:57,360
Speaker 1: inside move, which was impressive. I can say I have

2137
01:48:57,600 --> 01:49:00,200
Speaker 1: not seen that from the Bill's pass rush. You're in

2138
01:49:00,240 --> 01:49:03,599
Speaker 1: a long time. Uh, just just the sheer speed off

2139
01:49:03,640 --> 01:49:06,519
Speaker 1: the snap and then the force of the inside stab

2140
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:10,200
Speaker 1: move to just kind of rock Dion back. And Dion,

2141
01:49:10,280 --> 01:49:12,040
Speaker 1: as we know, is a big guy who was wrecking

2142
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 1: people late in the season last year, like knocking him

2143
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:19,240
Speaker 1: out of camera shots. UM. Von Von got him on

2144
01:49:19,320 --> 01:49:22,000
Speaker 1: that particular play. And you know you're gonna expect that.

2145
01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,639
Speaker 1: I'm not expecting Dion Dawkins to win every snap against

2146
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:27,559
Speaker 1: Von Miller at all, UM, So he kind of got

2147
01:49:27,640 --> 01:49:29,840
Speaker 1: him on that one. And then Tommy Doyle, you want

2148
01:49:29,840 --> 01:49:32,000
Speaker 1: to talk about dumping jumping into the deep end of

2149
01:49:32,040 --> 01:49:35,400
Speaker 1: the pool. It's like, yeah, Tommy, UM, wake up, Tommy.

2150
01:49:35,479 --> 01:49:37,719
Speaker 1: You got about half a dozen snaps against Von today,

2151
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:46,040
Speaker 1: Go get him. It's like, what conference, what's going on about? UM?

2152
01:49:46,200 --> 01:49:50,000
Speaker 1: So that was interesting too. Nick McCleod is an interesting case,

2153
01:49:50,280 --> 01:49:54,280
Speaker 1: Maddie UM, not just because he got two interceptions today,

2154
01:49:54,320 --> 01:49:56,320
Speaker 1: but he got one while playing corner and one while

2155
01:49:56,400 --> 01:49:59,920
Speaker 1: playing safety. And and you know, we had Brandon on

2156
01:50:00,040 --> 01:50:01,720
Speaker 1: earlier in the show and he was saying, yeah, we

2157
01:50:01,840 --> 01:50:05,080
Speaker 1: made that decision. We think his long range position for

2158
01:50:05,200 --> 01:50:09,040
Speaker 1: his career could be safety, and so they're trying him there.

2159
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 1: Some of the early returns have been very positive, so

2160
01:50:12,600 --> 01:50:15,560
Speaker 1: it's going to be interesting to see what is he

2161
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:18,280
Speaker 1: And here's the other thing too, Maddie, for him, in

2162
01:50:18,479 --> 01:50:21,920
Speaker 1: terms of keeping a job on this roster, they're deep

2163
01:50:21,960 --> 01:50:25,400
Speaker 1: at corner and they're deep at safety. So I guess

2164
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:28,040
Speaker 1: the more you can do, the better chance you have

2165
01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:32,679
Speaker 1: a sticking. But we'll see. And that's exactly what Bean said,

2166
01:50:32,840 --> 01:50:35,439
Speaker 1: is this roster, when you whittle it down and when

2167
01:50:35,479 --> 01:50:38,280
Speaker 1: you start to get to okay, we have X amount

2168
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:42,400
Speaker 1: of spots left after these guys are definitely on, it's

2169
01:50:42,439 --> 01:50:44,720
Speaker 1: going to be about what can you do for us

2170
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,680
Speaker 1: at multiple positions? And he said, if you're looking at

2171
01:50:47,720 --> 01:50:50,519
Speaker 1: the bottom of the roster, these guys better be players

2172
01:50:50,600 --> 01:50:53,439
Speaker 1: that can play at multiple positions and offer us a

2173
01:50:53,520 --> 01:50:57,320
Speaker 1: lot of versatility. Maybe Nick McCleod fits that description for

2174
01:50:57,400 --> 01:51:00,800
Speaker 1: a defensive player. He's listed as a corner on the

2175
01:51:00,920 --> 01:51:03,960
Speaker 1: roster right now, he's a taller corner at six feet tall.

2176
01:51:04,000 --> 01:51:06,880
Speaker 1: We were talking about that today at practice. So it's

2177
01:51:06,920 --> 01:51:09,640
Speaker 1: what do you want at that position? What do you

2178
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:12,000
Speaker 1: need out of that group? When you're looking at depth,

2179
01:51:13,560 --> 01:51:17,479
Speaker 1: even now starting to look at how the roster picture

2180
01:51:17,680 --> 01:51:21,960
Speaker 1: is going to unfold, you can like play mind games

2181
01:51:22,040 --> 01:51:24,320
Speaker 1: with yourself trying to figure out who's going to make

2182
01:51:24,840 --> 01:51:27,760
Speaker 1: the final fifty three because it is. It's that good

2183
01:51:27,800 --> 01:51:30,560
Speaker 1: of a roster right now. And we've joked about it,

2184
01:51:30,680 --> 01:51:33,040
Speaker 1: and it's not it's not really a joke. It's for real.

2185
01:51:33,160 --> 01:51:36,160
Speaker 1: Whoever doesn't make it, who whoever is going to be

2186
01:51:36,240 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, those guys might get scooped up

2187
01:51:39,160 --> 01:51:42,760
Speaker 1: in a quick second by other teams. It's it's gonna

2188
01:51:42,760 --> 01:51:45,120
Speaker 1: be a lot of difficult decisions, for sure, because I

2189
01:51:45,160 --> 01:51:47,200
Speaker 1: think the roster is as deep as it's ever been,

2190
01:51:47,680 --> 01:51:49,720
Speaker 1: and they are going to cut people that are going

2191
01:51:49,760 --> 01:51:52,320
Speaker 1: to play on other rosters this season. There will be

2192
01:51:52,400 --> 01:51:55,160
Speaker 1: players on this training camp roster for the Bills who

2193
01:51:55,200 --> 01:51:57,960
Speaker 1: will be on a regular season roster somewhere else because

2194
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,800
Speaker 1: you can't keep all all of them. So it's a

2195
01:52:00,920 --> 01:52:04,439
Speaker 1: quality roster. It's deep. A lot of people nationally consider

2196
01:52:04,479 --> 01:52:07,519
Speaker 1: it one of the deepest rosters in football, and I

2197
01:52:07,640 --> 01:52:10,200
Speaker 1: don't think they're wrong. I don't think they're wrong. Let's

2198
01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:12,120
Speaker 1: go to the phones at eight oh three oh five

2199
01:52:12,240 --> 01:52:15,400
Speaker 1: fifty one eight eight five fifty two five fifty as

2200
01:52:15,439 --> 01:52:18,599
Speaker 1: we are asking you today what should be the Bills

2201
01:52:18,640 --> 01:52:22,560
Speaker 1: focus in this training camp to properly prepare for the

2202
01:52:22,640 --> 01:52:25,320
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season. We go to Clarence and Buffalo

2203
01:52:25,439 --> 01:52:27,400
Speaker 1: next Clarence. What do you got for us? You're on

2204
01:52:27,439 --> 01:52:34,880
Speaker 1: one Bill's Live, Good Afternoon. I'm listening to the anything

2205
01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:37,599
Speaker 1: about what some Bills need to do in train camp,

2206
01:52:37,680 --> 01:52:40,599
Speaker 1: And as far as I'm concerned, I don't think there's

2207
01:52:40,640 --> 01:52:43,920
Speaker 1: going to be too much of a problem offensively, a

2208
01:52:44,080 --> 01:52:49,519
Speaker 1: deepnessancy as far as them messing together. The thing that

2209
01:52:49,680 --> 01:52:54,720
Speaker 1: I've more concerned about them is mentally. What are they

2210
01:52:54,840 --> 01:52:58,200
Speaker 1: doing to prepare themselves mentally to get over the humpy

2211
01:52:59,520 --> 01:53:01,760
Speaker 1: end up. That's one of the things that has been

2212
01:53:01,800 --> 01:53:04,120
Speaker 1: holding them back, and I'd like to see them have

2213
01:53:04,280 --> 01:53:09,120
Speaker 1: a little more physicality both offensively in deepensive us especially

2214
01:53:09,240 --> 01:53:14,000
Speaker 1: in the offensive line and the deepensive lines. So that's

2215
01:53:14,040 --> 01:53:17,320
Speaker 1: where I stand now. The mentality to get the mentality

2216
01:53:17,360 --> 01:53:19,640
Speaker 1: they straightened out the way. I think that they can

2217
01:53:19,760 --> 01:53:23,040
Speaker 1: go and say, you know, nobody can beat us, and

2218
01:53:23,160 --> 01:53:25,680
Speaker 1: we're not gonna let anybody beat us. We're not know

2219
01:53:25,800 --> 01:53:29,479
Speaker 1: anybody push us around. And that's that's where I stand

2220
01:53:29,600 --> 01:53:32,080
Speaker 1: with that. So I like to just hang up, listen

2221
01:53:32,120 --> 01:53:35,840
Speaker 1: to what you have to say. All right, thanks for

2222
01:53:35,880 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 1: the call, Clarence, appreciate it. Yeah, I mean, I think

2223
01:53:38,320 --> 01:53:41,960
Speaker 1: coach McDermott has always tried to preach that you need

2224
01:53:42,040 --> 01:53:47,360
Speaker 1: to have an edge at last year physical at the

2225
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:49,680
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage, in particular, when the battle at the

2226
01:53:49,720 --> 01:53:52,880
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage was a common refrain that we heard

2227
01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:56,760
Speaker 1: from coach McDermott an awful lot last season. And I

2228
01:53:56,920 --> 01:54:00,639
Speaker 1: still remember from way back in twenty eight team twenty

2229
01:54:00,760 --> 01:54:04,320
Speaker 1: nineteen where coach McDermott said, look, we have enough guys

2230
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:06,760
Speaker 1: here that know how to play this defense. I want

2231
01:54:06,800 --> 01:54:10,920
Speaker 1: to see a little nastiness in the attitude of this defense.

2232
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:15,360
Speaker 1: And I think when you have energy players like Jordan Phillips,

2233
01:54:15,520 --> 01:54:19,679
Speaker 1: like Ed Oliver, I think there is a better chance

2234
01:54:19,800 --> 01:54:22,840
Speaker 1: of seeing more of that surface through the course of

2235
01:54:22,920 --> 01:54:27,000
Speaker 1: the season. I have to be cocky, but you know,

2236
01:54:27,080 --> 01:54:30,360
Speaker 1: you can be confident, and you know puff your chest

2237
01:54:30,400 --> 01:54:32,960
Speaker 1: out a little bit sometimes and maybe be a little intimidating,

2238
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:36,720
Speaker 1: maybe point a finger in a face mask. You know, yeah,

2239
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:38,680
Speaker 1: we're damn good and we know it, So what are

2240
01:54:38,680 --> 01:54:40,720
Speaker 1: you gonna do about it? You know that kind of attitude.

2241
01:54:40,760 --> 01:54:42,560
Speaker 1: I think there's got to be some of that sometimes.

2242
01:54:44,160 --> 01:54:47,720
Speaker 1: We know, Maddie, the margins are very thin in this

2243
01:54:47,920 --> 01:54:50,280
Speaker 1: league from one team to the next. Even for some

2244
01:54:50,400 --> 01:54:54,520
Speaker 1: of the best teams in football, you can see a

2245
01:54:54,640 --> 01:54:57,920
Speaker 1: middle of the road team play their best and beat

2246
01:54:57,960 --> 01:54:59,560
Speaker 1: one of the best teams in the league when they're

2247
01:54:59,560 --> 01:55:02,480
Speaker 1: not having a great day. Indianapolis Colts as a prime

2248
01:55:02,520 --> 01:55:07,920
Speaker 1: example last year, Jacksonville Jaguars as an unfortunate example from

2249
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:11,720
Speaker 1: last year. It can happen. So yeah, I agree with you, Clarence.

2250
01:55:11,720 --> 01:55:14,080
Speaker 1: You gotta have an edge if you're going to make

2251
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:16,800
Speaker 1: a difference and have the record you need to have

2252
01:55:17,600 --> 01:55:19,920
Speaker 1: come the end of the season to be the number

2253
01:55:19,960 --> 01:55:22,480
Speaker 1: one seed in the AFC. And I think the mentality

2254
01:55:22,640 --> 01:55:25,520
Speaker 1: part for this team, I think that's I think that's there.

2255
01:55:25,800 --> 01:55:29,280
Speaker 1: I think this team is mature enough as a group

2256
01:55:29,800 --> 01:55:31,840
Speaker 1: to know what they need to do, to know how

2257
01:55:31,920 --> 01:55:35,160
Speaker 1: they need to prepare for an opportunity for a season

2258
01:55:35,280 --> 01:55:38,600
Speaker 1: like this with as many expectations as there are on

2259
01:55:38,720 --> 01:55:41,440
Speaker 1: this team. I think they are fired up and pissed

2260
01:55:41,480 --> 01:55:44,360
Speaker 1: off enough based on how last year finished. I know

2261
01:55:44,480 --> 01:55:46,240
Speaker 1: they all say, you know, it's time to turn the

2262
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:48,600
Speaker 1: page on a new season, but there's still a lot

2263
01:55:48,640 --> 01:55:51,720
Speaker 1: of things that motivate you. Whether it's how last season finished,

2264
01:55:52,000 --> 01:55:54,600
Speaker 1: or whether it's you know, not making your high school

2265
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:57,920
Speaker 1: football team, whatever it may be. You let those things

2266
01:55:58,760 --> 01:56:02,240
Speaker 1: stay with you in order to give you motivation. So

2267
01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the mentality of this team at all,

2268
01:56:05,320 --> 01:56:07,040
Speaker 1: and I think you're really going to see that once

2269
01:56:07,160 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: the season starts. I think the mentality right now is

2270
01:56:10,680 --> 01:56:13,320
Speaker 1: how can we get better every single day? How can

2271
01:56:13,480 --> 01:56:17,480
Speaker 1: I motivate the guys next to me to really create

2272
01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:20,440
Speaker 1: an environment of competition as they have these two and

2273
01:56:20,440 --> 01:56:22,760
Speaker 1: a half weeks of camp and they're going up against

2274
01:56:22,800 --> 01:56:25,440
Speaker 1: each other, because at some point in time this is

2275
01:56:25,480 --> 01:56:27,320
Speaker 1: gonna get They're gonna get a little bit tired of

2276
01:56:27,440 --> 01:56:30,280
Speaker 1: playing against each other. Well, yeah, and you'll you know,

2277
01:56:30,720 --> 01:56:32,480
Speaker 1: after about the first week of camp, you get the

2278
01:56:32,560 --> 01:56:35,640
Speaker 1: heavy legs and then yeah, you're tired of going against

2279
01:56:35,680 --> 01:56:37,480
Speaker 1: each other. You can't wait to get to the preseason

2280
01:56:37,520 --> 01:56:39,720
Speaker 1: to see somebody in a different jersey and a different helmet,

2281
01:56:40,160 --> 01:56:43,680
Speaker 1: for sure. But you gotta keep on keeping on. Speaking

2282
01:56:43,720 --> 01:56:45,840
Speaker 1: of keeping on, we're gonna keep on using the phone

2283
01:56:45,880 --> 01:56:48,960
Speaker 1: lines here and we go to Marie in Amherst next

2284
01:56:49,520 --> 01:56:51,720
Speaker 1: and let me see you make sure I'm punching this upright?

2285
01:56:52,920 --> 01:56:55,640
Speaker 1: Do we have Marie there? Help me out guys if

2286
01:56:55,680 --> 01:57:00,720
Speaker 1: I'm failing on my end? Hello, Hey Marie, how are

2287
01:57:00,720 --> 01:57:03,600
Speaker 1: you doing? Sorry about that? Oh it's fine. Good? How

2288
01:57:03,680 --> 01:57:10,040
Speaker 1: are you good? You hear me? Yes, we can hear you.

2289
01:57:10,320 --> 01:57:12,840
Speaker 1: What do you have for us? Okay? Yeah, So I

2290
01:57:12,960 --> 01:57:17,000
Speaker 1: think the main focus for the Bills during this training camp.

2291
01:57:17,800 --> 01:57:19,760
Speaker 1: I think the main focus for the Bills during this

2292
01:57:19,840 --> 01:57:26,040
Speaker 1: training camp should be jelling of the offensive line, developing

2293
01:57:26,640 --> 01:57:29,520
Speaker 1: so more. And I think it really hurt us to

2294
01:57:29,640 --> 01:57:33,320
Speaker 1: lose Wild Goose Hot Wild Goose to the Jets. I

2295
01:57:33,440 --> 01:57:36,400
Speaker 1: think that really hurt us. So, you know, to develop

2296
01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:39,800
Speaker 1: young players like that and then to lose him especially,

2297
01:57:39,880 --> 01:57:43,040
Speaker 1: we could use them right now. I think that we're

2298
01:57:43,160 --> 01:57:47,440
Speaker 1: developing a Elijah Griffin, the cornerback. He seemed like he's

2299
01:57:47,480 --> 01:57:49,400
Speaker 1: a tough kid, but he seemed like he's a little

2300
01:57:49,440 --> 01:57:51,680
Speaker 1: rough around Edges, so I think he's going to meet

2301
01:57:51,760 --> 01:57:54,640
Speaker 1: some molding. But if we could get that offensive line

2302
01:57:54,680 --> 01:57:57,120
Speaker 1: to jail, because I'm pretty sure we're going to run

2303
01:57:57,200 --> 01:57:59,560
Speaker 1: the same offense from last year with just a little

2304
01:57:59,560 --> 01:58:02,920
Speaker 1: bit of two weeks, so I think they can catch

2305
01:58:03,040 --> 01:58:05,680
Speaker 1: up with that. But we could get that line going

2306
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 1: the offensive mind, great, We're so going and developed more

2307
01:58:10,200 --> 01:58:13,200
Speaker 1: of the young corner to step in and help when

2308
01:58:13,240 --> 01:58:16,520
Speaker 1: they can and get ready because that wild law did hurt.

2309
01:58:17,840 --> 01:58:20,920
Speaker 1: So that's all the one, all right, Marie, thank yeah,

2310
01:58:21,040 --> 01:58:22,680
Speaker 1: thanks for the call. Sorry, didn't mean to cut you

2311
01:58:22,760 --> 01:58:25,880
Speaker 1: off there. They do have other corners in the pipeline.

2312
01:58:26,320 --> 01:58:28,120
Speaker 1: You know, we already mentioned Nick McLeod, who had a

2313
01:58:28,240 --> 01:58:33,000
Speaker 1: nice day today. You mentioned Elijah Griffin. You got Tim

2314
01:58:33,640 --> 01:58:36,760
Speaker 1: Harris who is a veteran player that's fighting for a

2315
01:58:36,840 --> 01:58:39,280
Speaker 1: backup job who's been in the league, you know, a

2316
01:58:39,360 --> 01:58:41,920
Speaker 1: handful of years. So there are other options there. And

2317
01:58:41,960 --> 01:58:44,920
Speaker 1: then the draft pick Christian Benford aside from Kye Elam.

2318
01:58:45,040 --> 01:58:47,680
Speaker 1: So there are young guys in the pipeline and this

2319
01:58:47,840 --> 01:58:50,760
Speaker 1: is a coaching staff that has been excellent in their

2320
01:58:50,800 --> 01:58:56,360
Speaker 1: player development. So yeah, I'm not I Yeah, losing wild

2321
01:58:56,400 --> 01:58:58,440
Speaker 1: Goose was unfortunate. I don't think it's going to be

2322
01:58:58,560 --> 01:59:01,120
Speaker 1: catastrophic as far as the depth the roster is concerned.

2323
01:59:01,160 --> 01:59:04,200
Speaker 1: What about the offensive and defensive line, there's kind of

2324
01:59:04,520 --> 01:59:06,840
Speaker 1: what a lot of people. Yeah, the offensive line needs

2325
01:59:06,880 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 1: to gel, there's no doubt about that. It's nice that

2326
01:59:10,120 --> 01:59:12,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of familiar faces in that position group.

2327
01:59:12,640 --> 01:59:16,240
Speaker 1: I think the hurdle for them is gonna be really

2328
01:59:16,360 --> 01:59:19,200
Speaker 1: gelling with their new offensive line coach, Aaron Kromer and

2329
01:59:19,400 --> 01:59:21,640
Speaker 1: his blocking schemes, because we know there's going to be

2330
01:59:21,800 --> 01:59:26,160
Speaker 1: some newness in that. They've talked about it already. They

2331
01:59:26,240 --> 01:59:28,920
Speaker 1: like what he's doing, So I think that's going to

2332
01:59:29,000 --> 01:59:31,000
Speaker 1: be the learning curve for that group, and I think

2333
01:59:31,040 --> 01:59:32,920
Speaker 1: they should be able to get that stuff down here

2334
01:59:32,960 --> 01:59:35,800
Speaker 1: in training camp. I mean, they've already had OTAs and

2335
01:59:35,880 --> 01:59:40,560
Speaker 1: mandatory mini camp with Chromer. So I expect that group

2336
01:59:40,600 --> 01:59:43,400
Speaker 1: to take a step forward this season because of the

2337
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:46,440
Speaker 1: guys that we expect to be starting, because of the

2338
01:59:46,520 --> 01:59:49,360
Speaker 1: guys that have been on the roster for multiple seasons together,

2339
01:59:50,240 --> 01:59:53,000
Speaker 1: and because of the offense that they've ran this past

2340
01:59:53,480 --> 01:59:55,800
Speaker 1: past couple of years under Brian Dayball. We know there's

2341
01:59:55,840 --> 01:59:57,400
Speaker 1: going to be some new tweaks, but we know a

2342
01:59:57,440 --> 01:59:59,040
Speaker 1: lot of it will be the same. In terms of

2343
01:59:59,080 --> 02:00:02,440
Speaker 1: the defensive line. I think Greg Russo knows he needs

2344
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:05,200
Speaker 1: to take a step forward this season, and somebody like

2345
02:00:05,360 --> 02:00:08,360
Speaker 1: von Miller could really help him with that. Yeah, no

2346
02:00:08,760 --> 02:00:10,800
Speaker 1: doubt about it. We have to take a break here,

2347
02:00:11,320 --> 02:00:13,200
Speaker 1: but we'll be taking more of your phone calls when

2348
02:00:13,240 --> 02:00:15,720
Speaker 1: we return. What do you think the major focus of

2349
02:00:15,840 --> 02:00:19,080
Speaker 1: the Bill should be here in this year's training camp?

2350
02:00:19,200 --> 02:00:22,160
Speaker 1: Eight oh three five fifty one, eight five fifty two,

2351
02:00:22,240 --> 02:00:24,280
Speaker 1: five fifty The number to get on board or hit

2352
02:00:24,360 --> 02:00:26,440
Speaker 1: us up on the tweet sheet at One Bill's Live.

2353

Speaker 1: Chris Brown Manny glab with you when we return here

2354
02:00:29,280 --> 02:00:47,520
Speaker 1: on One Bill's Live. Stay tuned all right, It's summer

2355
02:00:47,720 --> 02:00:50,720
Speaker 1: and Bill's head coach Sean McDermott wants us all thinking

2356
02:00:50,840 --> 02:00:54,760
Speaker 1: about sun defense. Coach is passionate about skin cancer prevention

2357
02:00:54,800 --> 02:00:56,839
Speaker 1: as it runs in his family. He takes sun protection

2358
02:00:56,960 --> 02:01:01,120
Speaker 1: very seriously. Most importantly, of course, is wearing sunscreen. Right now,

2359
02:01:01,560 --> 02:01:04,200
Speaker 1: you can stop by your local Wegmans for all of

2360
02:01:04,280 --> 02:01:08,160
Speaker 1: your sun protection needs. Wegmans will donate one dollar for

2361
02:01:08,360 --> 02:01:13,080
Speaker 1: every Wegmans sunscreen products sold through August thirty. First in

2362
02:01:13,120 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 1: their Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse area stores. It's a great

2363
02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:19,360
Speaker 1: way to protect your family, help to fight against skin cancer,

2364
02:01:19,440 --> 02:01:23,520
Speaker 1: and thank sun defense. Like Bill's head coach Sean McDermot,

2365
02:01:23,520 --> 02:01:25,760
Speaker 1: We've got a couple of bottles right here and here

2366
02:01:25,800 --> 02:01:30,960
Speaker 1: a training camp. Wegmans has a tent where they're actually

2367
02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:35,480
Speaker 1: offering some sunscreen products and stuff, spraying you up before

2368
02:01:35,520 --> 02:01:38,200
Speaker 1: you come out here for practice, so check that out.

2369
02:01:39,080 --> 02:01:42,440
Speaker 1: They have a sunscreen booth to get you completely covered

2370
02:01:42,920 --> 02:01:46,640
Speaker 1: and protected, so check that out. I usually use thirty

2371
02:01:46,720 --> 02:01:49,360
Speaker 1: at least. This is wow. These are spf fifty got

2372
02:01:49,400 --> 02:01:51,280
Speaker 1: the high test here with us today. Look at that.

2373
02:01:51,560 --> 02:01:53,920
Speaker 1: I'm two for two on putting on sunscreen. Are you

2374
02:01:54,120 --> 02:01:57,400
Speaker 1: thirty or you're kind of fair skin? So you kind

2375
02:01:57,400 --> 02:01:58,920
Speaker 1: of got to do that a little bit right. Yeah,

2376
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:02,160
Speaker 1: I'm I'm enough now to where thirties good. Got a

2377
02:02:02,200 --> 02:02:09,560
Speaker 1: good base from the honeymoon. Yeah. Yeah. I usually forget

2378
02:02:09,760 --> 02:02:12,080
Speaker 1: every single day, but I've been good. I have to

2379
02:02:12,200 --> 02:02:14,680
Speaker 1: use thirty or I'm I'm in trouble. I will turn

2380
02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:17,440
Speaker 1: into a lobster. So yeah, that's what I've got to do.

2381
02:02:17,840 --> 02:02:19,320
Speaker 1: We do want to get back to the phones though,

2382
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:23,680
Speaker 1: where we're talking training camp focus for this team as

2383
02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:25,800
Speaker 1: you see it, the number one focus you think this

2384
02:02:25,880 --> 02:02:28,320
Speaker 1: team has to have to be properly prepared for the

2385
02:02:28,400 --> 02:02:31,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty two season. Eight oh three oh five fifty

2386
02:02:31,320 --> 02:02:32,880
Speaker 1: the number to get on board one eight eight eight

2387
02:02:33,000 --> 02:02:36,640
Speaker 1: five fifty two five fifty. And we go to Dave

2388
02:02:36,800 --> 02:02:39,160
Speaker 1: on a cell next, Dave, what do you have for us?

2389
02:02:39,200 --> 02:02:43,040
Speaker 1: You're on one Bill's Live. Hey, thank you, Brownie. Hi, Maddie. Uh.

2390
02:02:43,480 --> 02:02:45,880
Speaker 1: Look for as much as you know, the defense kind

2391
02:02:45,920 --> 02:02:48,000
Speaker 1: of led us down in thirteen second, I still think

2392
02:02:48,120 --> 02:02:51,040
Speaker 1: that the old line is is U is really what's

2393
02:02:51,040 --> 02:02:53,040
Speaker 1: got to improve. Um. I kind of liked what I

2394
02:02:53,080 --> 02:02:55,800
Speaker 1: saw from all the improvement in Doyle and even backer

2395
02:02:56,760 --> 02:03:00,280
Speaker 1: in Bates last year. I think of our off of

2396
02:03:00,360 --> 02:03:03,440
Speaker 1: line has been sort of a patchwork for the last

2397
02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:06,520
Speaker 1: several years. And you know, Kyle Brant kind of had

2398
02:03:06,560 --> 02:03:08,840
Speaker 1: it wrong at the NFL Draft when he said the

2399
02:03:08,960 --> 02:03:12,480
Speaker 1: only thing that could stop Josh Allen is a flip

2400
02:03:12,600 --> 02:03:15,320
Speaker 1: of a point. Well, I just retired and I got

2401
02:03:15,360 --> 02:03:19,280
Speaker 1: to watch some three runs on the NFL network, and

2402
02:03:19,320 --> 02:03:20,880
Speaker 1: you guess who did stop us when we won the

2403
02:03:20,960 --> 02:03:24,360
Speaker 1: point with last year? Tampa. So you know, if we

2404
02:03:24,480 --> 02:03:27,000
Speaker 1: get a decent running game going when we need to

2405
02:03:27,080 --> 02:03:30,720
Speaker 1: run the ball instead of especially when we have to

2406
02:03:30,800 --> 02:03:33,320
Speaker 1: run the ball and eat up minutes. That way, I

2407
02:03:33,440 --> 02:03:35,440
Speaker 1: think that we protect our quarterback a little bit and

2408
02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:38,120
Speaker 1: maybe keep our defense rested. Anyway, Brownie, I'm gonna hang

2409
02:03:38,240 --> 02:03:43,520
Speaker 1: up and let's talk. Okay, thanks for the call. Appreciate it. Dave,

2410
02:03:44,520 --> 02:03:46,400
Speaker 1: where do you come down on that, Maddie? I like

2411
02:03:46,640 --> 02:03:49,600
Speaker 1: the word that he used, patchwork. I think that is

2412
02:03:50,120 --> 02:03:52,280
Speaker 1: spot on with what the offensive line has looked like

2413
02:03:52,360 --> 02:03:56,200
Speaker 1: the past couple of seasons. Injuries, COVID guys and out

2414
02:03:56,240 --> 02:04:00,480
Speaker 1: of lineup, it hasn't been super consistent with I don't

2415
02:04:00,520 --> 02:04:02,480
Speaker 1: know if that's what you can expect for an offensive

2416
02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,320
Speaker 1: line just because of the position that it is and

2417
02:04:05,800 --> 02:04:09,000
Speaker 1: how guys can get injured in that position group because

2418
02:04:09,120 --> 02:04:14,520
Speaker 1: of what they're doing, what they're carrying. I think it's

2419
02:04:15,000 --> 02:04:17,920
Speaker 1: pretty close to spot on if you look at the

2420
02:04:18,040 --> 02:04:20,280
Speaker 1: roster and you look at position groups that really that

2421
02:04:20,520 --> 02:04:23,680
Speaker 1: need to change, not necessarily need to change, but maybe

2422
02:04:23,720 --> 02:04:26,160
Speaker 1: we need to take the next step. I think the

2423
02:04:26,280 --> 02:04:30,000
Speaker 1: offensive line needs to do what they were doing consistently

2424
02:04:30,160 --> 02:04:32,600
Speaker 1: last season when the run games started to get going

2425
02:04:32,720 --> 02:04:35,840
Speaker 1: and the run date. Game didn't just get going because

2426
02:04:35,880 --> 02:04:38,440
Speaker 1: of Devin Singletary starting to find the holes, or Devin

2427
02:04:38,560 --> 02:04:42,320
Speaker 1: Singletary was starting to be more patient or had better looks.

2428
02:04:42,400 --> 02:04:45,560
Speaker 1: It's because the offensive line was there to help guide

2429
02:04:45,680 --> 02:04:49,560
Speaker 1: him along the way. We hear Brandon Bean and Sean

2430
02:04:49,640 --> 02:04:53,320
Speaker 1: McDermott talk about this time and time again. We build

2431
02:04:53,440 --> 02:04:56,120
Speaker 1: from our lines out. That's where we focus on first.

2432
02:04:56,160 --> 02:04:58,320
Speaker 1: That's what we're focusing on in the NFL draft and

2433
02:04:58,440 --> 02:05:02,240
Speaker 1: free agency is line play. What can we add? That's

2434
02:05:02,280 --> 02:05:05,320
Speaker 1: what we think is very important. And you need an

2435
02:05:05,320 --> 02:05:08,040
Speaker 1: offensive line to be able to do anything on offense.

2436
02:05:08,560 --> 02:05:11,240
Speaker 1: Josh needs it, the running backs need it, the wide

2437
02:05:11,280 --> 02:05:16,280
Speaker 1: receivers need it. So the group that they have, they've

2438
02:05:16,360 --> 02:05:19,320
Speaker 1: brought in a lot of veterans, they have some young guys,

2439
02:05:19,920 --> 02:05:22,760
Speaker 1: they have some players who have been consistent for them

2440
02:05:22,800 --> 02:05:25,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of years. I think it's figuring out

2441
02:05:25,920 --> 02:05:29,000
Speaker 1: what does this group look like when the whistle blows

2442
02:05:29,040 --> 02:05:31,760
Speaker 1: for the first play of that first game. Yeah, and

2443
02:05:31,920 --> 02:05:35,120
Speaker 1: I think the Aaron Cromer edition as the offensive line

2444
02:05:35,160 --> 02:05:37,600
Speaker 1: coach is a big part of this equation here in

2445
02:05:37,800 --> 02:05:40,240
Speaker 1: terms of helping them take the next step. As you

2446
02:05:40,360 --> 02:05:42,880
Speaker 1: pointed out, the running game kind of really gained some

2447
02:05:43,080 --> 02:05:47,200
Speaker 1: traction and some consistency in the last six weeks of

2448
02:05:47,280 --> 02:05:51,080
Speaker 1: the regular season, and it was one of the main

2449
02:05:51,280 --> 02:05:55,080
Speaker 1: reasons why the Bills were not only playing their best

2450
02:05:55,160 --> 02:05:57,240
Speaker 1: football at the end of the year, but they were

2451
02:05:57,320 --> 02:06:00,800
Speaker 1: playing their best balanced football. And I'm not talking fifty

2452
02:06:00,880 --> 02:06:04,320
Speaker 1: fifty balance run passed, but the ability to flip to

2453
02:06:04,520 --> 02:06:08,200
Speaker 1: one side of play calling to the other at the

2454
02:06:08,320 --> 02:06:11,200
Speaker 1: drop of a hat and be just as effective with

2455
02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:13,960
Speaker 1: the run game as they were with the passing game.

2456
02:06:14,080 --> 02:06:16,640
Speaker 1: And you know, they want to get back to that.

2457
02:06:17,560 --> 02:06:23,960
Speaker 1: My curiosity lies in whether or not Aaron Kromer can

2458
02:06:24,120 --> 02:06:29,680
Speaker 1: diversify and expand the running game into something that is

2459
02:06:29,760 --> 02:06:33,280
Speaker 1: even more expansive than what we witnessed down the stretch

2460
02:06:33,440 --> 02:06:36,920
Speaker 1: last season. You know, does the screen game look productive,

2461
02:06:37,200 --> 02:06:39,800
Speaker 1: Can they execute the screen game, which had been a

2462
02:06:39,920 --> 02:06:43,200
Speaker 1: problem for the past two years. Are they going to

2463
02:06:43,240 --> 02:06:45,800
Speaker 1: be more outside zone? Are they gonna run gap or

2464
02:06:45,800 --> 02:06:48,000
Speaker 1: are they gonna run inside zone? Are they gonna run

2465
02:06:48,080 --> 02:06:51,680
Speaker 1: all of the above? That's what I'm curious to see

2466
02:06:51,800 --> 02:06:54,200
Speaker 1: from Aaron Kromer and how he kind of builds this

2467
02:06:54,360 --> 02:06:59,160
Speaker 1: thing out in terms of the run game diversification, You

2468
02:06:59,280 --> 02:07:02,200
Speaker 1: certainly have a bunch of guys that can do several

2469
02:07:02,280 --> 02:07:05,320
Speaker 1: different things out of the backfield. Now do you believe

2470
02:07:05,480 --> 02:07:08,680
Speaker 1: you have a front five and the depth behind them,

2471
02:07:09,160 --> 02:07:12,840
Speaker 1: you know, in the offensive line room to feel comfortable

2472
02:07:13,120 --> 02:07:16,680
Speaker 1: executing anything under the sun with respect to the run game.

2473
02:07:16,720 --> 02:07:18,840
Speaker 1: Chromer certainly has done all of those things in his

2474
02:07:18,920 --> 02:07:22,320
Speaker 1: coaching career. Does he have the horses here to execute

2475
02:07:22,360 --> 02:07:26,240
Speaker 1: those things and be as unpredictable as possible? That's the

2476
02:07:26,320 --> 02:07:28,200
Speaker 1: question that I keep rolling around in my head, And

2477
02:07:28,280 --> 02:07:31,000
Speaker 1: we probably won't know that until we get into the

2478
02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:34,040
Speaker 1: probably like a good month into the season, will be

2479
02:07:34,120 --> 02:07:37,040
Speaker 1: closing in on mid October, I think, before we have

2480
02:07:37,120 --> 02:07:41,560
Speaker 1: a clear picture as to how expansive the run game

2481
02:07:41,560 --> 02:07:43,200
Speaker 1: will be in terms of the things they pick and

2482
02:07:43,320 --> 02:07:46,000
Speaker 1: choose to execute. And people talk about the chemistry of

2483
02:07:46,080 --> 02:07:50,280
Speaker 1: the offensive line and why you need chemistry for that group.

2484
02:07:50,560 --> 02:07:54,200
Speaker 1: I think it's also about, you know, Spencer Brown's been

2485
02:07:54,280 --> 02:08:00,480
Speaker 1: doing things, but hasn't been involved fully. Roger Saffold has

2486
02:08:00,560 --> 02:08:04,640
Speaker 1: been on the sidelines, watching the group, walking with the group,

2487
02:08:04,680 --> 02:08:07,560
Speaker 1: but not practicing. It's how quick can some of these

2488
02:08:07,680 --> 02:08:10,960
Speaker 1: guys who could be important pieces to the offensive line,

2489
02:08:11,200 --> 02:08:14,120
Speaker 1: How quickly. Can you fold them into everything and have

2490
02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:16,680
Speaker 1: them start to get used to each other, because as

2491
02:08:16,840 --> 02:08:20,160
Speaker 1: Rogers first year on this team, we know he's a

2492
02:08:20,240 --> 02:08:22,520
Speaker 1: veteran player, but he still has to get used to

2493
02:08:22,640 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 1: playing in this offense. Spencer's a young player. There's several

2494
02:08:26,360 --> 02:08:28,880
Speaker 1: young guys who could take some reps. Ike Bucker is

2495
02:08:28,960 --> 02:08:32,480
Speaker 1: getting healthier and healthier every day, But is he going

2496
02:08:32,520 --> 02:08:35,040
Speaker 1: to be somebody that they want to fold in as

2497
02:08:35,120 --> 02:08:38,240
Speaker 1: well this season? Yeah, coming off the Achilles, we'll see.

2498
02:08:38,320 --> 02:08:41,080
Speaker 1: We don't really know. That's probably a long term thing,

2499
02:08:41,640 --> 02:08:44,400
Speaker 1: and it'll be interesting to see what happens if he

2500
02:08:44,640 --> 02:08:48,280
Speaker 1: is yet to come even close to, you know, being

2501
02:08:48,360 --> 02:08:51,760
Speaker 1: football ready. Do they go reserve pup with him or

2502
02:08:51,880 --> 02:08:54,240
Speaker 1: do they go ir with him? I don't know. I mean,

2503
02:08:54,280 --> 02:08:56,280
Speaker 1: he had the achilles injury pretty late in the season

2504
02:08:56,400 --> 02:08:58,840
Speaker 1: last year. We'll have to see where that one goes.

2505
02:08:58,880 --> 02:09:00,400
Speaker 1: I mean, but there as you may, and there are

2506
02:09:00,440 --> 02:09:03,440
Speaker 1: several other people to consider. Chief among them the guys

2507
02:09:03,480 --> 02:09:06,000
Speaker 1: that aren't participating right now at least in the team

2508
02:09:06,080 --> 02:09:09,840
Speaker 1: segments of practice, which is Spencer Brown. And then you've

2509
02:09:09,880 --> 02:09:12,560
Speaker 1: also got Roger Saffold, two guys that are going to

2510
02:09:12,600 --> 02:09:15,440
Speaker 1: be in the mix to be among the starting five,

2511
02:09:15,600 --> 02:09:18,120
Speaker 1: so we'll have to see where it goes from there.

2512
02:09:18,160 --> 02:09:20,600
Speaker 1: A couple other thoughts on the tweet sheet left over

2513
02:09:21,120 --> 02:09:23,240
Speaker 1: in terms of what you think the Bill's focus should

2514
02:09:23,240 --> 02:09:26,760
Speaker 1: be in training camp this summer. Steve says, this roster

2515
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:30,000
Speaker 1: is very deep and elite. All players have bad days,

2516
02:09:30,040 --> 02:09:31,640
Speaker 1: but with this level of talent, they need to have

2517
02:09:31,720 --> 02:09:33,600
Speaker 1: the mindset that they can win on a bad day.

2518
02:09:34,000 --> 02:09:37,120
Speaker 1: With this roster, they can't have a Jacksonville or Indie game.

2519
02:09:37,400 --> 02:09:39,240
Speaker 1: We are deep enough and talented enough to win on

2520
02:09:39,280 --> 02:09:42,040
Speaker 1: a bad day. Now that's pretty interesting because Steve is

2521
02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:44,520
Speaker 1: talking along the same lines as our caller Marie from

2522
02:09:44,560 --> 02:09:47,720
Speaker 1: earlier or Clarence. I'm sorry, Clarence thought it was a

2523
02:09:47,840 --> 02:09:51,240
Speaker 1: mental thing that this team has to get right in

2524
02:09:51,480 --> 02:09:54,120
Speaker 1: terms of we're the biggest, baddest dog on the block

2525
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:57,280
Speaker 1: and you can't mess with us. And I've had these

2526
02:09:57,360 --> 02:10:01,400
Speaker 1: conversations with Steve because Steve he was on a Juggernaut

2527
02:10:01,440 --> 02:10:05,560
Speaker 1: team in the early nineties and he said, look, we

2528
02:10:05,720 --> 02:10:07,960
Speaker 1: had talented guys, but we also had guys who had

2529
02:10:07,960 --> 02:10:11,320
Speaker 1: an attitude, and we come walking down that tunnel knowing

2530
02:10:11,800 --> 02:10:15,240
Speaker 1: we were gonna win that day. Not hoping, not confident

2531
02:10:15,280 --> 02:10:17,800
Speaker 1: we were gonna win. We know we're gonna win, and

2532
02:10:17,960 --> 02:10:21,280
Speaker 1: they played like it. And I think that's a little

2533
02:10:21,360 --> 02:10:25,000
Speaker 1: bit of the attitude that this team has to adopt,

2534
02:10:25,120 --> 02:10:29,520
Speaker 1: because yes, they are that good. They are, you know,

2535
02:10:31,080 --> 02:10:34,040
Speaker 1: infinitely gifted in the talent that they have to offer

2536
02:10:34,120 --> 02:10:38,320
Speaker 1: on this roster. So yeah, you got to be that confident,

2537
02:10:38,480 --> 02:10:40,560
Speaker 1: and then you've got to execute like it each and

2538
02:10:40,640 --> 02:10:43,480
Speaker 1: every week. Don't play down to your level of competition

2539
02:10:43,960 --> 02:10:47,240
Speaker 1: like they did against Jacksonville last year. And Josh said

2540
02:10:47,600 --> 02:10:49,800
Speaker 1: when he talked to the media a couple days ago,

2541
02:10:49,960 --> 02:10:52,720
Speaker 1: he said, I hope by the time we leave training camp,

2542
02:10:52,880 --> 02:10:55,440
Speaker 1: we know what type of team we are on offense

2543
02:10:55,520 --> 02:10:57,960
Speaker 1: and defense. And he was speaking to the identity of

2544
02:10:58,080 --> 02:11:01,040
Speaker 1: the team. You know, every year is a new year.

2545
02:11:01,160 --> 02:11:04,240
Speaker 1: You welcome new guys to the roster, you say goodbye

2546
02:11:04,320 --> 02:11:07,240
Speaker 1: to other players, um, and so there is a feel

2547
02:11:07,320 --> 02:11:09,200
Speaker 1: of a new identity. A lot of things could carry

2548
02:11:09,240 --> 02:11:12,080
Speaker 1: over from last season. But you look back to the

2549
02:11:12,160 --> 02:11:15,560
Speaker 1: team last season and then really figuring it out. Um

2550
02:11:15,720 --> 02:11:19,200
Speaker 1: during that Bucks game, coming out of halftime, even though

2551
02:11:19,240 --> 02:11:22,320
Speaker 1: it was a loss, it was really when the Gears

2552
02:11:22,360 --> 02:11:25,480
Speaker 1: started to click or when they really figured out their

2553
02:11:25,520 --> 02:11:28,080
Speaker 1: identity as a team, and hopefully they can do that

2554
02:11:28,200 --> 02:11:32,080
Speaker 1: a lot earlier this season, knowing week one what type

2555
02:11:32,120 --> 02:11:34,920
Speaker 1: of group they have, or early on in the season

2556
02:11:35,000 --> 02:11:38,280
Speaker 1: at some point rather than having to wait halfway into

2557
02:11:38,320 --> 02:11:41,320
Speaker 1: the season to really turn it on. Well, yeah, and

2558
02:11:42,200 --> 02:11:44,440
Speaker 1: you mentioned the start of the season, and that got

2559
02:11:44,480 --> 02:11:47,520
Speaker 1: my wheels turning because the first seven games are a bear. Yeah,

2560
02:11:47,560 --> 02:11:49,760
Speaker 1: you can't wait. The first seven games are a bear.

2561
02:11:50,120 --> 02:11:52,400
Speaker 1: I mean you start with LA and then you got

2562
02:11:52,480 --> 02:11:54,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. The Dolphins are in there, the Ravens are

2563
02:11:54,600 --> 02:11:59,760
Speaker 1: in there, the Chiefs. Those first seven games are a gauntlet,

2564
02:12:00,280 --> 02:12:03,320
Speaker 1: and so you gotta be humming coming into that season

2565
02:12:03,360 --> 02:12:04,760
Speaker 1: if you want to get off to the start you're

2566
02:12:04,800 --> 02:12:07,480
Speaker 1: hoping for break time for Maddie and us. Here, one

2567
02:12:07,560 --> 02:12:09,600
Speaker 1: more segment to go. We'll get some final thoughts on

2568
02:12:09,680 --> 02:12:11,760
Speaker 1: the tweet sheet and tell you what you can look

2569
