1
00:00:07,160 --> 00:00:10,879
Speaker 1: At a Steve Tasker who has been all over the field.

2
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:12,600
Speaker 1: Kind of unique. He was kind of a dual role

3
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:19,159
Speaker 1: player for you save a blimp. We're not even in

4
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:28,440
Speaker 1: the stragedyer of normalcy. Oh that's rounded up here. On

5
00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 1: a Wednesday at Bill's training camp, Chris Brown, Steve tafter

6
00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,879
Speaker 1: with you as always. Day four of training camp was

7
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: a good one for the offense down the stretch. There

8
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,400
Speaker 1: some big plays late in the practice turned in by

9
00:00:42,479 --> 00:00:47,360
Speaker 1: Josh Allen Dawson Knox. And the guy that had a

10
00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 1: day today was one Gabriel Davis who prefers Gabe Davis.

11
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:55,639
Speaker 1: In case you didn't hear that Steve memo went out,

12
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: so I already violated that memo. Got them Gabe Davis

13
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: big day today, particularly in the red area. And I

14
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: know you and I were talking to Brandon being on

15
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 1: the sidelines during practice today and he was commenting on

16
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: how much stronger Gabe is from all of the weight

17
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: training he did this past offseason. I saw him on

18
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: social media. He's squatting four hundred pounds. There aren't many

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 1: receivers squatting four hundred pounds these days, especially guys that

20
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,839
Speaker 1: are over six foot right and he's up around two

21
00:01:24,840 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: twenty now. You wouldn't know it looking at him, but

22
00:01:28,959 --> 00:01:32,560
Speaker 1: it's very evident on the field. Steve, he pulls DB's

23
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:36,640
Speaker 1: through and they're they're all they're gone, Like he obliterates.

24
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 1: He's bigger his legs and thighs and his power plant

25
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:44,839
Speaker 1: is bigger. This year. He's stronger from the waist down.

26
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: His legs are biggers, bigger, and you can tell his

27
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: strength is there. And it's interesting because Josh throwing him

28
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,200
Speaker 1: the ball. He's not one of those guys like Isaiah

29
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:01,440
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie or you know, Cole Beasley, those you know

30
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: guys like that. He's kind of a he's a bigger

31
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,840
Speaker 1: dude man. Josh ball, He's like, oh my gosh, he's open. Yeah,

32
00:02:06,880 --> 00:02:08,799
Speaker 1: you know, he's like, wow, that's must have run a

33
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: good route. And it just it's looking easier for him

34
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 1: than I think I've seen in years past. I mean,

35
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: it's just you can tell he's at a different level

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 1: than he has been. And physically, I mean he looks

37
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:25,360
Speaker 1: the part. Yeah, he's next level right now in terms

38
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: of physical presence on the field. There really isn't a

39
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,360
Speaker 1: corner on this roster. And maybe and we're talking about

40
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: a number one pass defense here. Let's not forget that

41
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: number one pass defense in the league last year, top five,

42
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: probably four of the last five years. There isn't a

43
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 1: dB on this squad in my estimation, that's strong enough

44
00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,639
Speaker 1: right now to muscle him at the line of scrimmage

45
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 1: in a press situation or knock him off his route.

46
00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: That's how strong Gabe Davis looks out here. So you're

47
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: going against some of those strong press man corners like

48
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:01,880
Speaker 1: Marlon Humphrey when they play the Ravens. Maybe some other

49
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,640
Speaker 1: guys like that Jalen Ramsey. If he winds up on

50
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:06,440
Speaker 1: his side of the field and not on digs in

51
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: week one, Gabe Davis ain't gonna have a problem running

52
00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 1: through people muscle in him, and we've seen evidence of

53
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: that here early in camp. Today Steve the final team

54
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,720
Speaker 1: segment impressive one for the offense. It is one of

55
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 1: those call it segments that we talked about yesterday on

56
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: the show. Ken Dorsey, Leslie Frasier we talked to yesterday.

57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,639
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey addressed it today and we'll hear from Ken

58
00:03:31,680 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 1: Dorsey a little later on in the show. He talked

59
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: to the media today. There are these segments that coach

60
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: McDermott has in the scope of practice. We're in a

61
00:03:39,880 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 1: team segment. Ken Dorsey's on the clock and he's calling

62
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: plays with a play clock running down and everything, so

63
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:50,800
Speaker 1: it's very organic, it's very gamelike. And last segment of

64
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: practice he was doing some of that and man did

65
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,600
Speaker 1: he catch the defense and some bad calls. Yeah, I

66
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 1: mean he had guys running the back of the end zone.

67
00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: He was hitting Gabe Davis, seated a couple of times

68
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: right in McKenzie, McKenzie, Dawson, Knox. It was a really

69
00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,440
Speaker 1: good day and Duke Johnson ran one in and we're

70
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna talk to Josh as well. We'll

71
00:04:12,200 --> 00:04:15,080
Speaker 1: ask him about it. But a little bit different field

72
00:04:15,280 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 1: today as the offense started to get a little handle

73
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 1: on what the defense was doing. Certainly, nothing is as

74
00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 1: it is it as it's going to be in the

75
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 1: future because nobody's wearing pads. It's still jim shorts and

76
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 1: helmets out there. But um, it's interesting because you do

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 1: get these days where everything seems to go one way

78
00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: or the other, offense or defense, and today was offense, right,

79
00:04:38,120 --> 00:04:40,480
Speaker 1: and I think it was a good bounce back day

80
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: for them, because yesterday, in the early parts of practice

81
00:04:43,600 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 1: they were frustrated. There was a point where Josh had

82
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,640
Speaker 1: to take his helmet off, walked to the sideline, take

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 1: a deep breath, collect himself. He was that frustrated, and

84
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: they made some plays at the very tail end of

85
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:58,120
Speaker 1: practice yesterday. I think that carried over into today for them,

86
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:02,200
Speaker 1: as they made the majority of the plays out there today.

87
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,479
Speaker 1: There were some plays turned in defensively. A guy that's

88
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: kind of made a play or two almost every day

89
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 1: on defense, Cam Lewis in the slot. He's technically, you know,

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 1: behind Tarren Johnson, who's, as we know, is the number

91
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 1: one nickel but fourth year player, and he's around the ball.

92
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
Speaker 1: He's been around the ball through the first four days.

93
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: I think he's had a nice first few days of camp.

94
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:29,039
Speaker 1: And there were some other guys that made some plays

95
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 1: on defense, but the vast majority of plays made on offense,

96
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: and the top unit did really well today. I mean,

97
00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox and Josh Allen were in sync. Allen was

98
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: in sync with Mackenzie and with Davis as well, so

99
00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,040
Speaker 1: those I mean, Stefon Diggs made a few plays too,

100
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:48,719
Speaker 1: but it just seemed like the synchronization of the passing

101
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:53,880
Speaker 1: game was there in every iteration today and it showed.

102
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 1: It showed they were they got the defense and some

103
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: bad calls. Credit to coach Dorsey on that, but then

104
00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 1: those eyes also executed, so credit to the players were

105
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 1: coming through on that end. So it was it was

106
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: good to see after I think what the what the

107
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 1: offensive players probably would have even called yesterday a subpar

108
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:11,919
Speaker 1: day for them. It's interesting too, I like to I'm

109
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:13,359
Speaker 1: not gonna get at the chance, but I'd like to

110
00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:17,239
Speaker 1: see how today affects a guy like Ken Dorsey where

111
00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:18,720
Speaker 1: he's calling the play and all of a sudden things

112
00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: are starting to click and all of them, oh yeah,

113
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:21,720
Speaker 1: that was a pretty good play out and there's another one,

114
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: and you know whether you can bottle that, you know,

115
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:29,560
Speaker 1: so you repeat the process. So because you're right, I mean,

116
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,680
Speaker 1: it comes down to die if when there's what it

117
00:06:32,760 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 1: used to be like before these call it periods used

118
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:36,719
Speaker 1: to come up, is you'd go out and you would

119
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: have a set, You'd have fifteen plays. You're gonna run

120
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,480
Speaker 1: this one after the other, and that's what you do.

121
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: So whatever defense you're gonna see, whatever the coverage, it's

122
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 1: gonna be you're gonna run that play against whatever there

123
00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: is and there and they're synchronized a little bit of

124
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 1: offense and defense where you know, these three players are

125
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: going to be for the offense, the next three you're

126
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: running formations for the defense. That kind of stuff. Then

127
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:04,040
Speaker 1: this is it's a little more organic and it's as

128
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,599
Speaker 1: game like as you're gonna get right in a practice setting. Yeah,

129
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: So I think for a guy like Ken Dorse, i'd

130
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,720
Speaker 1: love to see does that give him just a little

131
00:07:10,720 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: bit of a Okay, yeah, I'm gonna this is gonna

132
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:15,440
Speaker 1: be all right, you know. Yeah, Well, we'll hear for

133
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,600
Speaker 1: fans it does. We'll hear from Ken Dorsey. A little

134
00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:19,440
Speaker 1: bit later on in the show, he addressed the media

135
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: today and it was a very interesting conversation that we

136
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 1: as the media kind of had with him today. I

137
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:30,320
Speaker 1: asked him how to call it segments. We're going through

138
00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: the first three days of practice. This was prior to today,

139
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: which was probably one of the better days for the

140
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: offense thus far. And he also talked about how he

141
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: uses the other members of the offensive staff as a

142
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: sounding board because Aaron Cromer has called plays as a coordinator.

143
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 1: Rob Boris has called Plays as a coordinator the tight ends.

144
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:56,440
Speaker 1: Coach Joe Brady has called plays as an offensive coordinator

145
00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 1: Carolina just last year and at LSU as well. And

146
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:03,000
Speaker 1: there are others on the staff, Mike Shula, the senior

147
00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: offensive assistant, who's even worked with him in Carolina. I mean, right,

148
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: Mike the Super Bowl. Yeah, So that's it's a there's

149
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: a bunch of guys that I've got a wealth of experience.

150
00:08:16,120 --> 00:08:17,920
Speaker 1: I think one of the things that was interesting and

151
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: what we've heard time and time again throughout this offseason

152
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 1: about Ken Dorsey through the OTAs and when Sean McDermott

153
00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: was asked about him at the very beginning, say he's

154
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: really been impressed with Dorsey's ability to listen to these

155
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: guys that happened. You know, he's very secure in what

156
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:37,400
Speaker 1: he's doing. He knows how valuable the guys are around him,

157
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:42,000
Speaker 1: Joe Brady and and Shula and the rest. Cromer, and

158
00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 1: he's listening to him. Uh, very non ego in his

159
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 1: approach to the whole thing, very collaborative, and I think

160
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 1: it's served him well. I think it will serve him

161
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: well as you as you go forward as if the

162
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:58,760
Speaker 1: team goes forward. And you know, we're talking about it

163
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:02,439
Speaker 1: today because this is where this is the first day

164
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,320
Speaker 1: where we've had a lot to talk about where you know,

165
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 1: Josh was throwing it well, they were catching it well,

166
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: guys were running open, and they were scoring touchdowns even

167
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,720
Speaker 1: in in the red zone area. It wasn't in the

168
00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 1: red zone. It was I guess technically was in the

169
00:09:14,240 --> 00:09:17,199
Speaker 1: red zones more like it wasn't necessarily a red zone period. Yeah,

170
00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 1: it was a plus area period where they were like

171
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:22,600
Speaker 1: on the fifteen or twenty yard line, but they were

172
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: throwing it to the end zone quite a bit. So yeah,

173
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: all the experience that is on this staff, it has

174
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: been interesting and I think comforting for me to know that.

175
00:09:32,800 --> 00:09:34,800
Speaker 1: You know, Dorsey's like, yeah, what do you guys? You know,

176
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 1: what do you think, Joe, what do you think? Hula?

177
00:09:38,080 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: What do you think of these guys? Yeah, he gave

178
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 1: us a specific example. It's good he's not threatened by

179
00:09:43,679 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: all these guys that have done it before. He's tapping

180
00:09:46,040 --> 00:09:49,320
Speaker 1: into it, which I think any young coordinator would be

181
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:52,320
Speaker 1: wise to do so. For example, when they're back in

182
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: the film room reviewing practice and the plays that were called.

183
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: You know, he's looking and Mike Schulo or he's looking

184
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:03,840
Speaker 1: at Joe Bray. Hey, that player worked really well. Do

185
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:05,480
Speaker 1: you have any other thoughts on what else might have

186
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 1: worked there? Or if something didn't work, what might have

187
00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,160
Speaker 1: been better to call in that particular down and distance

188
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: or location on the field, or based on a couple

189
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 1: of matchups or the personnel that the defense had out there.

190
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, he's tapping into all of those resources that

191
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 1: coach McDermott has surrounded him with to ensure that he's successful.

192
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: So it's a wise approach by coach McDermott to do that.

193
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: Number one. I mean, he's insulated Ken Dorsey as a

194
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: first time prey caller and it's wise that he's done

195
00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: that because of what's at Stakemas year. I mean, let's

196
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: be real new coordinator. Oh, by the way, we expect

197
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl, you know, and no pressure,

198
00:10:41,280 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 1: but that's what we expect to do. So let's just

199
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:45,079
Speaker 1: make sure the offense doesn't miss it beat. Yeah, it's right.

200
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,839
Speaker 1: It's it's been really fun to watch and hear about

201
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 1: the interactions and how smooth this transition seems to have gone.

202
00:10:52,720 --> 00:10:55,719
Speaker 1: I was watching during today's team period. When they were

203
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,559
Speaker 1: doing that, Dorsey was walking and I you see other

204
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:01,760
Speaker 1: coordinates do this as well, and he was what had

205
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 1: his back to the field or to the play. He

206
00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 1: was at one end of the bench. Are the wrong

207
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: end of the bench? Are right? You know? You see

208
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,560
Speaker 1: some fifty yards away? Yeah? You stand. You see some

209
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,400
Speaker 1: of these guys they stand on the down marker if

210
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: they can. I mean, they're standing right there watching and

211
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: they're just and Dorsey is kind of and smartly so

212
00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:20,280
Speaker 1: I think turned his back on it was far away

213
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 1: thinking about analytically what he's looking. He doesn't have to

214
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: look at what's going on the field. He knows, you know,

215
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: down in distance, Okay, we just did this. He's thinking

216
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: about what's on his sheet and what his offense needs

217
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,120
Speaker 1: to do right in that moment. He's not looking at

218
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,920
Speaker 1: the big picture. He's not saying, you know what, He's

219
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:41,480
Speaker 1: just thinking and analytically calling this play. I think that's

220
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 1: indicative of probably the kind of guy he's gonna be

221
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,840
Speaker 1: on game day. Probably he'll be probably upstairs, which is

222
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,080
Speaker 1: going to be a change for him from where he was,

223
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:54,200
Speaker 1: and he's you know, I just think it's really fascinating

224
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,199
Speaker 1: to see these guys grow into these roles and take

225
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,440
Speaker 1: on these new responsibilities, particularly with the new members of

226
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 1: the staff. A lot of new guys on all offensive staff,

227
00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:05,200
Speaker 1: and everybody, almost every guy is except for maybe what

228
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: Chad Hall is the exact same that is called plays no,

229
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 1: that is coaching the exact same spot that he moves

230
00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 1: a year ago. They got all these you know, Cromer's new,

231
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,600
Speaker 1: Shula's new role, Brady's new they got it's a new

232
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,559
Speaker 1: crys the special team's coordinator, although he has been here,

233
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 1: right but that's the thing moved to linebacker. On the

234
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: offensive side of it, there's a ton It's just a

235
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:32,560
Speaker 1: whole new coaching staff on that side. So it's gonna

236
00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: be fascinating to watch these guys work into it. Yeah,

237
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: I just I think after four years of it being

238
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:41,160
Speaker 1: largely the same, you know, if you make these subtle changes,

239
00:12:41,200 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 1: I think sometimes they can be good for a team,

240
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 1: just to freshen it up just a little bit, just enough,

241
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: not to the point where you feel like you have

242
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: ground to make up, but where you can still move

243
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 1: forward even though there are some things that are a

244
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 1: little bit different. It kind of freshens things up a

245
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 1: little bit. I think a couple of notes that we

246
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,800
Speaker 1: wanted to pass along to you regarding practice today. Jamison

247
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 1: Crowder still sidelined with muscle tightness, working on the side

248
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: again today. Jake Kumerou misses a second straight day, So

249
00:13:08,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: they're down a little bit at the receiver position because

250
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: of those two guys being sidelined. Ryan Bates a new

251
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 1: non participant today, but he was out here watching practice.

252
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 1: But right now the Bills offensive line is down two guards,

253
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,679
Speaker 1: Roger Saffold and Ryan Bates, who many project to be

254
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: among the top five and start at those two positions.

255
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: Both of them have been out today because Saffold is

256
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: still not back from the rib injury suffered in the

257
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: car accident a few weeks probably to camp opening, and

258
00:13:37,840 --> 00:13:40,840
Speaker 1: Spencer Brown is still not yet cleared for the team

259
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:45,599
Speaker 1: segments of practice. So essentially you have two projected starters

260
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: on the Bills offensive line right now in Dawkins and Morse.

261
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: So aside from that, they've been shuffling guys through and

262
00:13:54,960 --> 00:13:57,480
Speaker 1: I think that's part of the reason the offense was

263
00:13:57,520 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: a little bit compromised in terms of its chronicity, because yeah,

264
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: they've adjusted now here in day four and now they're

265
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:07,560
Speaker 1: back to making plays. Yeah. I mean even with those

266
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,640
Speaker 1: guys in there, I mean, nobody's blocking anybody because they

267
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: don't have pads on true, and it's so it's a

268
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: little bit artificial in that regard anyway. But you're right,

269
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 1: it's it's not a concern yet. I mean, goodness, Graces

270
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,960
Speaker 1: were four days into this thing, and you know, they

271
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 1: got a long way to go. But and you would

272
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: anticipate guys rotating through at different positions, even you know

273
00:14:29,160 --> 00:14:31,320
Speaker 1: Bates is out, but if Bates was in there, or

274
00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:32,720
Speaker 1: any of these other guys are in there, they're playing

275
00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: left guard, and they're playing right guard, then they're playing

276
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: right tackle. Uh, somebody's you know, taking reps at a

277
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 1: left tackle when Dion Dawkins needs a break. So you

278
00:14:41,360 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: expect all of that because they've got, you know, nine

279
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: thousand guys. I'm exaddering nine thout they got. They do

280
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: have fifteen sixteen guys on the offensive line, eighteen guys

281
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:54,640
Speaker 1: on the offensive line signed that are taking reps in camp.

282
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: There's gonna be a lot of rotation. And and they're

283
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,880
Speaker 1: still they still some of these coaches and particularly even

284
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: the players themselves amongst themselves. They don't even know these guys,

285
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,400
Speaker 1: they don't even know each other, right, so what's the

286
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 1: best combination. Well, you start with two test tubes. You

287
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: pour one into the other, and then you'd pour that

288
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,600
Speaker 1: one into a third and you find out, you know,

289
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: you just experiment. The only other player note, de Quan

290
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: Jones got a veteran rest day today, so that bumped

291
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: guy's up on the depth chart at defensive tackle through

292
00:15:26,920 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: the team portions of practice. I don't know if there

293
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:34,040
Speaker 1: was I wasn't standing next to you when it happened.

294
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:36,680
Speaker 1: But did you see the touchdown pass from Josh to

295
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah McKenzie that he threaded between two closing defenders in

296
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:42,640
Speaker 1: the end zone? Yeah? I thought that was his best

297
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,280
Speaker 1: throw today. And he muscled it in there too. Yeah

298
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: it was a dart and that's the kind of throw

299
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 1: he can make. And yeah, you're right, I think you're right.

300
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:54,080
Speaker 1: I didn't see every throw Josh made, but that was

301
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: certainly a good one. I think that was his best

302
00:15:55,680 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: throw today. He had others, but that was his best

303
00:15:58,240 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 1: throw because he just he had to put it on

304
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: a rope because I think he saw it like a

305
00:16:02,680 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: quarter of a second late, and he said, all right,

306
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: I gotta put a little extra on if I'm gonna

307
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,440
Speaker 1: get it there now, because the windows already closing, and

308
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 1: he's he got it through there. Because I was standing

309
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,800
Speaker 1: in the end zone about ten yards away from where

310
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:17,680
Speaker 1: the ball was caught, and I'm watching these two defenders,

311
00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:19,280
Speaker 1: I'm like, whoa is he gonna get there? But he

312
00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 1: fitted in there and Mackenzie, I gotta tell you, for

313
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: a for a diminutive, small statured guy who does not

314
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: have big hands, he's pretty secure ball catcher. I mean

315
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: sometimes those smaller guys because they have smaller hands, you know,

316
00:16:39,480 --> 00:16:42,320
Speaker 1: you have a past that's a little outside the body frame.

317
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: It's hard for them to come up with that because

318
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: they just don't have the grip strength with smaller hands

319
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 1: and fingers. I think in the past he's done a

320
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: great yet. Yeah, in the past, I don't know how

321
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: many games, but sure handed, man, he really does come

322
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,680
Speaker 1: across as a guy who's got really good hands. We've

323
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 1: seen him make a bunch of catching in the opportunities.

324
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:02,480
Speaker 1: We speak about Isaiah all the time because he is

325
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 1: a part of the offense and has been in for

326
00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: the past five years, So I didn't know he could

327
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: catch like that. I gotta be honest with you. That's

328
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:16,000
Speaker 1: that's him. It's been impressive. He does not drop footballs

329
00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 1: and even in games when he gets a chance, he

330
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,040
Speaker 1: has come through. And I you know that as much

331
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: as anything, is one of the reasons why we've heard

332
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:24,959
Speaker 1: and have seen that he's going to have an expanded

333
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,320
Speaker 1: role this year. Yeah, and I'll say this, with Crowder out,

334
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:33,840
Speaker 1: Mackenzie has gotten even a greater opportunity, you know, working inside.

335
00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:37,880
Speaker 1: And he has gotten the best of Tarn Johnson at

336
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:41,919
Speaker 1: times in the team segments of practice because he's built

337
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:44,720
Speaker 1: so low to the ground and he's so quick, even

338
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,800
Speaker 1: a guy like Tarn Johnson, who I would argue was

339
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: one of the top five nickel corners in the league. Right,

340
00:17:50,359 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: he turns. He's turned him around a couple of times. Yeah,

341
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,560
Speaker 1: it's and here's two. They're throwing it a lot. I've

342
00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 1: note they are handing it off. They do have a

343
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: couple of working some stuff. But you know, the run

344
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: game with no pads on, are you kidding me? So

345
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,560
Speaker 1: it's more about you know, direction and whatever and technique

346
00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,720
Speaker 1: and hand placement and all that for the offensive Lineman.

347
00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:14,480
Speaker 1: Nobody else gets anything out of it, but they've they've

348
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,640
Speaker 1: been throwing it a lot, a ton and Isah McKinsey

349
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,320
Speaker 1: shows up all the time. He shows up all the time.

350
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: At today it was you know, obviously Gabe Davis who

351
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:30,440
Speaker 1: did but it's just you're right. And when with Crowder out,

352
00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:35,400
Speaker 1: Isam McKinsey's getting a lot more reps, and like we've

353
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:38,720
Speaker 1: seen him do even in games last year, he takes

354
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:42,120
Speaker 1: advantage of it. He really takes advantage of it. Uh.

355
00:18:42,560 --> 00:18:45,359
Speaker 1: Some high jinks on the field today. I don't know

356
00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,560
Speaker 1: if you saw some of this. We saw Von Miller

357
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: leading a dance parade on the sidelines when he wasn't

358
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 1: in for team segments of practice, bop into the music

359
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:58,160
Speaker 1: and whatnot. Shack usually participates, as there's Jordan Phillips and others,

360
00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:03,719
Speaker 1: but today one of the reporters had their camera hijacked

361
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: by Ed Oliver. Did you see that? I did not

362
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:09,359
Speaker 1: see that, so it is out there on social media. Jennakatrell,

363
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: who's a Rochester area reporter, captured it on film, but

364
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 1: Ed in between segments of practice, hijacked one of the

365
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 1: media members cameras and started walking around with it like

366
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:27,440
Speaker 1: he was shooting and interviewing his teammates. Guys are cut up, man.

367
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: You need guys like that to keep the room loose, right,

368
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 1: Oh absolutely. I mean football is a serious business. It's

369
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:37,400
Speaker 1: cutthroat at times. You gotta make it light right, like, Yeah,

370
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:41,159
Speaker 1: guys are like that fun and it particularly you know

371
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,720
Speaker 1: Ed with who's now at this point really secure in

372
00:19:44,760 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 1: his role on this team and feels good about it

373
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: and can and can loosen up and do it. You

374
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:51,359
Speaker 1: don't do that if you're a rookie. Oh no, not

375
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: to mention that. I wonder if he'd be surprised to

376
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,399
Speaker 1: know he's carrying around a fifty thousand dollar camera. He

377
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,600
Speaker 1: might think twice about walking around with that thing. Yeah

378
00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:01,199
Speaker 1: you grep, Yeah, that he couldn't afford paying for a

379
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:06,359
Speaker 1: new right. But yeah, still though, Um, camp is great.

380
00:20:06,359 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: I mean you get to the point where you're having

381
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:10,320
Speaker 1: such fun with your boys and and you're playing well

382
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:11,880
Speaker 1: and things are going good and you've got so much

383
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,360
Speaker 1: to look forward to in the season. Um, a lot

384
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,600
Speaker 1: of fun stuff goes on, and uh, it's it's the

385
00:20:17,640 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: way of it. And you know, at Oliver grabbing somebody

386
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:24,160
Speaker 1: who's the cameraman to lift that thing laying around well

387
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: that is yeah, that person could be in some hot waters.

388
00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: And then again, if Ed Oliver comes up to you says, hey,

389
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: let me see your camera for a minute so I

390
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 1: can tell hand it over, you know, say hey, we'll

391
00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: shoot you on a horse sometime. How about that? And

392
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,640
Speaker 1: just do that. Um. We are going to break here

393
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: because when we come back, we want to bring Ken

394
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:46,880
Speaker 1: Dorsey's comments to you in full. I had a long

395
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,439
Speaker 1: and extended conversation with the media this morning and it

396
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: was pretty good front to back, So we want to

397
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 1: try to bring as much of that to you as

398
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 1: possible so you can get a feel for what's running

399
00:20:57,480 --> 00:20:59,520
Speaker 1: through Ken Dorsey's head through the first three days of

400
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:03,040
Speaker 1: camp and day four, which wound up being among his

401
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,040
Speaker 1: best as an offensive play caller in the practice setting.

402
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey, Buffalo's new offensive coordinator, coming your way next

403
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:12,280
Speaker 1: here on One Bill's Live, presented by Klatta Health, It's

404
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:32,160
Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills Radio. All right, welcome back to One Bills Live.

405
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:35,240
Speaker 1: Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you, and as promised, we

406
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,680
Speaker 1: want to bring you the comments made by Bill's offensive

407
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 1: coordinator Ken Dorsey, who met the media today for the

408
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,639
Speaker 1: first time here at camp and had a lot of

409
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: interesting things to say, not only about the offense at large,

410
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: but his role in it now that he is the

411
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: offensive coordinator here is Ken Dorsey? Is there any personnel wise,

412
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 1: all the guys in your offense in the Web and Jet,

413
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 1: any surprises, you know? Again, I think it's it's early,

414
00:22:02,600 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 1: you know, and as you go in camp, you kind

415
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: of want to have this trajectory and you kind of

416
00:22:08,080 --> 00:22:10,600
Speaker 1: want to continue to grow and expand roles, and you're

417
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: really still trying to figure out guys and figuring out

418
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:16,040
Speaker 1: kind of the pieces and what they're going to do

419
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:18,920
Speaker 1: best and where they're gonna fit. And right now we're

420
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 1: we're installing and we're installing our offense. We're not scheming anything.

421
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,080
Speaker 1: We're just trying to install and put pressure on guys

422
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 1: a little bit mentally by moving them around and doing

423
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,480
Speaker 1: some different things. As much as you're evaluating and critating,

424
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 1: you know, your players, and we're viewing practice taking and whatnot,

425
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,360
Speaker 1: are you carving out time to kind of self critique

426
00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: a little bit, especially in those call it segments of

427
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: practice for you, I think you're always trying to do

428
00:22:43,600 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: that you know as um, especially where I'm at in

429
00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,320
Speaker 1: my career, I think I think that's very important. And

430
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: I think that's why I love the staff that we

431
00:22:53,359 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 1: have because we've got a lot of veteran guys on staff.

432
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,360
Speaker 1: We've got a lot of guys who have been offensive coordinators,

433
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:01,920
Speaker 1: a lot of guys who played in Super Bowls that

434
00:23:02,040 --> 00:23:04,760
Speaker 1: I could pull from and ask questions too and say

435
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 1: what do you think what you see there? So I

436
00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:09,200
Speaker 1: think that's a constant effort and I've been really pleased

437
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:13,520
Speaker 1: kind of with how guys have answered in those call

438
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:15,959
Speaker 1: up periods and move the ball periods. I think yesterday

439
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,480
Speaker 1: was a great example of you know, we're playing against

440
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 1: a great defense every day and it's not always going

441
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:25,639
Speaker 1: to be perfect, and that's good in training camp. You know,

442
00:23:25,720 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: you don't want one side of the ball dominating. You

443
00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:29,960
Speaker 1: want to back and forth in great competition. I think

444
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,280
Speaker 1: that's important. So you know, it wasn't always perfect. Then

445
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:34,680
Speaker 1: we got into the call up period, I think guys

446
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: really answered the call and we were able to move

447
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 1: the ball and do some really good things. So I

448
00:23:39,080 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: think that's all part of it, and I think it's

449
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:45,760
Speaker 1: great the way Sean has made a concervative effort to

450
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,560
Speaker 1: kind of include those into practice as much a CCM. Obviously,

451
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: you guys signed or J Howard, So I think logic

452
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,639
Speaker 1: would take take that you are considerating using some more

453
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: two tight end this year than you guys had in

454
00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:58,679
Speaker 1: the past. But what do you need to see from OJA?

455
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: I mean, if that's going to be reality, I think

456
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: it's pretty happy. What passion does. What do you need

457
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,640
Speaker 1: to see from from OJ Howard? Well, I think our

458
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,080
Speaker 1: right now kind of how we're handling everything is we're

459
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: trying to maximize all of our personnel groupings. So um,

460
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000
Speaker 1: we're not Our goal is to not say, hey, we're

461
00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:20,880
Speaker 1: relying on one guy or um within the offense. We're

462
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: trying to maximize everything that we do. And and right

463
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,440
Speaker 1: now again we're trying to install an offense and not

464
00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 1: uh not scheme anything up. We're we're trying to figure

465
00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:32,880
Speaker 1: out what guys do best and and then that's where

466
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: we're going to try to maximize them and use them

467
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,400
Speaker 1: as much as possible. Yeah, what do you might do best? Well,

468
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 1: we're still yeah, we're still we're still working through it.

469
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:44,199
Speaker 1: It's early, you know, it's it's day four of training

470
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,840
Speaker 1: camp and we haven't been in pads yet, so I

471
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,040
Speaker 1: think there's still a long way to go, and we're

472
00:24:50,040 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: not going to jump to conclusions on anything. I love OJ.

473
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,239
Speaker 1: I'm glad he's here, and uh, I think he's going

474
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 1: to continue to grow in our offense, and the more

475
00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 1: comfortable he gets, the faster he's gonna play, the more

476
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 1: physical he's gonna play. And I'm excited with the direction

477
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,440
Speaker 1: where he's going. We've seen a lot of movement on

478
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:08,959
Speaker 1: the offensive line early hearing camp. How much of that

479
00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: is because the guys a Bengal and how much of

480
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: that is because you're legitimately searching for the best five? Yeah?

481
00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: I think uh. I think there's a combination of both,

482
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: you know. Um So obviously when when there's guys getting

483
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,280
Speaker 1: nicked up, you're plugging guys in and then that creates

484
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,560
Speaker 1: some of that natural competition as well. UM. I think

485
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: there's some spots you feel really good about, and I

486
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,520
Speaker 1: really feel good about all the guys we got up there.

487
00:25:34,560 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: To be honest with you, UM, I think the biggest

488
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:43,400
Speaker 1: thing is for us is trying to get those five

489
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 1: guys together to create coninuity as quickly as possible. Because

490
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: your impressions of Dave Davis when he when he got here,

491
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: and what have you learned about getting out with here

492
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:55,880
Speaker 1: in this volition? Yeah, I think ye're one. Obviously, Um,

493
00:25:57,480 --> 00:26:00,360
Speaker 1: you know there was talent, but you didn't know kind

494
00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:02,320
Speaker 1: of where that was going to go just based off

495
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,360
Speaker 1: of the college film and the things he did. You know,

496
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 1: I think he did a lot of good things in college,

497
00:26:10,359 --> 00:26:13,439
Speaker 1: but you didn't know. You never really know, especially at

498
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 1: any position, but a receiver position, kind of where that's

499
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,920
Speaker 1: gonna blossom and how that's gonna develop, And a lot

500
00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:22,760
Speaker 1: of times that's up to the player of the mental

501
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: and then how hard they work at it. I don't

502
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,719
Speaker 1: think not many guys you draft a receiver don't have

503
00:26:27,760 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: the physical tools. At the end of the day, it's

504
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 1: going to come up to one the mental. Can he

505
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,400
Speaker 1: handle the mental workload? And then too, how hard does

506
00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: he work at it? And for Gabe, he's got both

507
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: those qualities at an extremely high level. Gray mentally as

508
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 1: smart as as any receiver I've been around, and works

509
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: his tailoff and so I think that's why you can't

510
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: you see that trajectory with him to continue to get

511
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,000
Speaker 1: better and better and better each year because he's never

512
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: complacent when you see I mean you give the comfort

513
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 1: level j Edward. Going back to the indie game, you

514
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 1: know all those sideline catches. Do what happened in the

515
00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:08,720
Speaker 1: Kansas City game, I mean help help you help steep

516
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,639
Speaker 1: business projective Dabe, No, I mean you never know, and uh,

517
00:27:13,720 --> 00:27:16,320
Speaker 1: you know you never want to kind of project honestly,

518
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 1: you just want to You just want to focus on

519
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 1: continue to grow and continue to prove, you know. And

520
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:25,399
Speaker 1: I think the stress that we have or well we

521
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 1: try to stress on offense, especially with Josh, is trust

522
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,000
Speaker 1: your eyes, trust what you see, trust your progressions. Don't

523
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,160
Speaker 1: get locked in on anything, you know. And so when

524
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,159
Speaker 1: you've got the personnel that we got, I think it

525
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: helps Josh to do that because he doesn't feel like

526
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: he's got to get locked into one specific player. Seen

527
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: from James Cook lusine him. You know you've been involved

528
00:27:47,040 --> 00:27:50,119
Speaker 1: in passing eighty as that still set that dynamic that

529
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,080
Speaker 1: brings to that money back room. But what are your

530
00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:55,480
Speaker 1: early impressions of him and you know, maybe where do

531
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:59,439
Speaker 1: you see him kind of fitting? Yeah, James is you know,

532
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:04,360
Speaker 1: James is working and James is doing a very good job.

533
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,680
Speaker 1: For what we're asking him to do. Again, it's it's

534
00:28:07,720 --> 00:28:10,119
Speaker 1: hard for a rookie at any spot to kind of

535
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 1: come in and make a make that huge impact in

536
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,000
Speaker 1: year one, So we just want to make sure we

537
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:19,000
Speaker 1: continue to bring him along and and continue to again

538
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,800
Speaker 1: just grow and go in the right direction as a player,

539
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,760
Speaker 1: one from the mental side, and two learning what he

540
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 1: can do physically. So again, I think right now it's

541
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:30,000
Speaker 1: so early to kind of tell where he's going to

542
00:28:30,080 --> 00:28:34,440
Speaker 1: fit in and everything. But I love I love James.

543
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 1: I love his personality, I love kind of what he

544
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: brings to the table athletically and physically. And he's working

545
00:28:41,600 --> 00:28:43,480
Speaker 1: his tail off mentally, which is great because there's a

546
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 1: lot to learn at that position in terms of everything

547
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,280
Speaker 1: from the run game to the pass games of protection

548
00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: and all that, and he's continuing to work hard with it.

549
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 1: But again it's it's early. He's got to continue to

550
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,120
Speaker 1: work out and continue to grow and continue to progress

551
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: the way he is. Okay, you're not scheming, you know,

552
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: you're just installing what out of benefits of just throwing

553
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 1: everything at him early on. Well, I think it's huge

554
00:29:07,960 --> 00:29:11,200
Speaker 1: because you're trying to build a fan foundation of your offense.

555
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 1: You're trying to build a foundation of what you do,

556
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 1: your core principles of playing fast, physical, and disciplined, and

557
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 1: your core UM concepts. You know that that you want

558
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:23,400
Speaker 1: to kind of hang your hat on throughout the year.

559
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:25,760
Speaker 1: So you know, once you get those in, then you

560
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:28,320
Speaker 1: just keep working. You keep working and you keep refining

561
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:32,120
Speaker 1: those things. So you're gonna put plays in that might

562
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:36,080
Speaker 1: not necessarily be great against the defense as you're playing, UM,

563
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: but big Pitcher moving forward, you want to get those

564
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,680
Speaker 1: things in and you want to work them. UM. So

565
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:44,080
Speaker 1: it's not again, it's not it's not always going to

566
00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 1: be perfect because that but then it's not always going

567
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: to be perfect because you're playing a dark, good defense

568
00:29:47,560 --> 00:29:50,239
Speaker 1: on the other side of the ball. UM. So you know,

569
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:53,520
Speaker 1: it's it's it's that constant progression and it's that it

570
00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,120
Speaker 1: helps us because it helps push us to, you know,

571
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: continue to compete and get better every single day. Good

572
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,800
Speaker 1: Josh even the other day, and we've heard him say

573
00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:04,640
Speaker 1: this before, but he's like, I'm getting used to having

574
00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:08,000
Speaker 1: a new voice, you know, in my year as opposed

575
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,400
Speaker 1: to I. Despite the relationship you've built up in your

576
00:30:10,440 --> 00:30:13,800
Speaker 1: previous role as quarterbacks, coaching on your end of things.

577
00:30:14,160 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 1: How has the dynamic in that relationship changed in your

578
00:30:17,480 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 1: new role. What's your take on that as you're working

579
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,280
Speaker 1: through this. I think it's been great and a lot

580
00:30:22,280 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 1: of that is a credit to Josh obviously working with Davis.

581
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:28,640
Speaker 1: Davis has done a great job here over the years

582
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: and had a great relationship with Josh, and I think

583
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 1: it helps me kind of being here and seeing that

584
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:36,720
Speaker 1: relationship and being part of that relationship to kind of

585
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 1: continue that. But I think the most important thing is,

586
00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not gonna try to be anybody I'm not,

587
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: and I think he respects that I'm gonna be me,

588
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: whether it's good, bad, or in different in comparison to

589
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,600
Speaker 1: what it's been here in the past, And I think

590
00:30:53,600 --> 00:30:57,040
Speaker 1: he respects that. I think the communication is critical and

591
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,560
Speaker 1: the constant back and forth of what'd you see? Why

592
00:31:01,560 --> 00:31:04,120
Speaker 1: do you see it? Here's what I'm thinking, So we're

593
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 1: we're always on the same page in that relationship with Josh.

594
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 1: You mentioned a few times the defense is really good

595
00:31:11,200 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: yesterday when he is frustrated you has that change now?

596
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: How you go back and forth with him when you're

597
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: also tending to the rest of the team or is

598
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:22,800
Speaker 1: there anything. I mean again, you're you're you're just going

599
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 1: over You're just working with the whole offense, you know,

600
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,680
Speaker 1: So Josh is an integral part of that. So yeah,

601
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 1: you're you're constantly kind of talking with everybody and going

602
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 1: through practice with everybody and and um, you know, and

603
00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 1: again I think that's that's the Uh, that's the mindset

604
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,680
Speaker 1: you want to take on offense. Then no matter how

605
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: things are going, just through the course of the game, practice, season,

606
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 1: there's ebbs and flows to a game and everything just

607
00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 1: like in practice, just like in a season. So we

608
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 1: want to try to do our best to be steady

609
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: and and be you know, as consistent as possible with

610
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 1: our our approach and our attitude. He does compartmentalize. It's great.

611
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: I mean he's competitive and uh I love that. No, no,

612
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: and I love that about him, and I think, uh,

613
00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:10,840
Speaker 1: it's a benefit. You want a guy who cares and

614
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 1: wants to compete and wants to you know, go out

615
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: and put his best foot forward. So that's always going

616
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:20,240
Speaker 1: to give you a chance. Okay, how has the symmetry

617
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: worked with you know, Cromer being the new offensive link,

618
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: which he has different ideas how to do things, and

619
00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,400
Speaker 1: then Bobby Johnson did how has that worked? Skill players

620
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,400
Speaker 1: working with the offensive line of what chromers trying to do?

621
00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:35,280
Speaker 1: How's that symmetry? Is it working right now? How's it

622
00:32:35,360 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: coming together? It's been great. I mean we we did

623
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: a lot in the off season, obviously communicating kind of

624
00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,000
Speaker 1: back and forth and here's how I see it. How

625
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:45,160
Speaker 1: do you see it? Um to really kind of work,

626
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 1: work through a lot of things to get it to

627
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:50,000
Speaker 1: where we wanted to. Um, you know, so again it

628
00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 1: the biggest thing was making sure to keep it as

629
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:56,400
Speaker 1: consistent for our guys as possible, to keep that coninuity

630
00:32:56,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: for them, and I think we've managed to do that

631
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: was super productive for you. Obviously the last three years

632
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: he was pretty much a slot receiver. Do you envision

633
00:33:06,680 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 1: maybe more diversity in the slot, you know, without without him? Yeah,

634
00:33:16,800 --> 00:33:19,600
Speaker 1: I think again that's a It's it's a little early

635
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:22,320
Speaker 1: to tell right now. We're looking at some different things,

636
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 1: but UM, kind of as we continue to move on

637
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 1: and grow and develop, UM, it might be a primary guy,

638
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:32,720
Speaker 1: it might be some different guys. But obviously we're really

639
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 1: excited about Isaiah and Jamison in the slot. You know

640
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: doing doing those things, and UM, we feel very comfortable

641
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,960
Speaker 1: with who we have and and excited about kind of

642
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 1: what they're bringing to the table. After Stefan and Gabe,

643
00:33:47,400 --> 00:33:50,240
Speaker 1: how do you feel about your options at Outward Site

644
00:33:50,280 --> 00:33:54,000
Speaker 1: Receiver after those two? Yeah, I think, UM, again, it's

645
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: so it is early in the process, but I love

646
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 1: the way those guys are working. It's a great battle.

647
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,800
Speaker 1: It's a great competition between those guys and UM, They're

648
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:06,200
Speaker 1: they're working extremely hard and doing They're doing the right

649
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,000
Speaker 1: things in terms of coming out every day prepared, playing fast,

650
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,040
Speaker 1: playing physical, UM and being disciplined in in their approach

651
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,400
Speaker 1: that I think he just needs to continue to do

652
00:34:24,440 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: what he's doing. To be honest with you, I think

653
00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: he's he's been doing a great job just UM running

654
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: running routes, being where he needs to be for Josh,

655
00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:39,440
Speaker 1: creating separation and UM and doing things that takes to

656
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: kind within our within our system. UH, to gain that

657
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:46,279
Speaker 1: comfort level with Josh, I think both UH and he

658
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 1: showed that in previous times. He's he's been able to

659
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,920
Speaker 1: be out there. UM. I think he's always had a

660
00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:56,439
Speaker 1: niche on our team and it's just continues to grow

661
00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: each year. From where he came from his rookie or

662
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,080
Speaker 1: to where he's at now. Again, he just continues to

663
00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: get better each and every year, and that's all you

664
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:08,759
Speaker 1: can ask for from a player. Unfairly, there's been a

665
00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: lot of notes here about um, partly because where he

666
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: was drafted and in circumstances, But how do you get

667
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:18,960
Speaker 1: the most out of a player who was trying to

668
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:23,280
Speaker 1: find his way again? Some ways? Yeah, I think again

669
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:28,600
Speaker 1: it's a learning process of what he does well and um,

670
00:35:28,760 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 1: what he's most comfortable with, and then what what he

671
00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 1: can handle. Mentally, he came in so late in the process,

672
00:35:34,719 --> 00:35:37,600
Speaker 1: he's still you know, he's still getting the feel for

673
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 1: the offense, the nuances of it, and then just the

674
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:44,080
Speaker 1: overall scheme of it. So there's still a lot of

675
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:46,759
Speaker 1: progression there. But I mean, you talk about a guy

676
00:35:46,840 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: with unbelievable leadership ability, unbelievable just passion for the game,

677
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: tremendous in the room. But then also he's got a

678
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: great physical still skill set. So I'm excited for him

679
00:35:59,920 --> 00:36:02,040
Speaker 1: to continue to get comfortable with the offense, to see

680
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,879
Speaker 1: what you can do all that experience in the room

681
00:36:04,920 --> 00:36:07,239
Speaker 1: of the coaching staff with you do for you to

682
00:36:07,320 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 1: help you as a first time play caller, and you

683
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,600
Speaker 1: look over Mike Schulz, there are and Eric Rohmer's there,

684
00:36:11,640 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: and how can you lean on them give us maybe

685
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 1: an example of what could happen to that. No, I

686
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:18,560
Speaker 1: think part of that is with Chrome, you know, is

687
00:36:19,040 --> 00:36:23,600
Speaker 1: the run game stuff, the protection stuff, kind of bringing

688
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,239
Speaker 1: in some some maybe new ideas which always kind of

689
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:29,520
Speaker 1: infuse a little bit of something into the offense um

690
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,560
Speaker 1: maybe that we haven't done here in the past. So

691
00:36:32,719 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: that's been that's been very exciting for him with schools.

692
00:36:35,360 --> 00:36:38,040
Speaker 1: It's been great having him because you know, when you

693
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,719
Speaker 1: talk about especially situational football and being good in situational football,

694
00:36:43,200 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 1: just he's been able to do it so many so

695
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:48,359
Speaker 1: much in the past. Uh. And he's been in a

696
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:51,400
Speaker 1: lot of different situations, whether calling a game in a

697
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,520
Speaker 1: Super Bowl or calling a two minute with a down

698
00:36:55,560 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: by six a minute twenty left in the game, you

699
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:01,160
Speaker 1: got two timeouts, you know, and and he's done those things.

700
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:03,680
Speaker 1: So to be able to lead on that experience us

701
00:37:03,840 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 1: and ask Schul's like, hey, what do you think here

702
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,560
Speaker 1: or in this situation, what are some different things that

703
00:37:09,600 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 1: we could potentially do within our scheme. Uh, that might

704
00:37:13,800 --> 00:37:15,839
Speaker 1: have been different than what I just called right there.

705
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,719
Speaker 1: And I think that communication is great. And then the

706
00:37:18,760 --> 00:37:24,120
Speaker 1: same thing with Joe, Brady and hum all those guys

707
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:27,160
Speaker 1: you know, Rob Boris, all those guys who have great experience.

708
00:37:28,560 --> 00:37:30,680
Speaker 1: What's the most important aspect of your mind of the

709
00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 1: relationship between the quarterback coach the offensive coordinator, especially because

710
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:37,640
Speaker 1: you have the perspective now with both of those. Yeah,

711
00:37:37,719 --> 00:37:41,400
Speaker 1: I mean you want to consistent message with Josh and

712
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: all the quarterbacks, and I think that's key. I think

713
00:37:44,040 --> 00:37:46,120
Speaker 1: the biggest thing is to make sure there's there's a

714
00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:49,160
Speaker 1: consistent message for me to Joe, to those guys in

715
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:53,080
Speaker 1: that room. And I trust Joe tremendously, you know. And

716
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 1: again I think it was important to bring in guys

717
00:37:55,320 --> 00:37:57,840
Speaker 1: who maybe not necessarily have been in this system in

718
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 1: the past to infuse some new thoughts, new ideas. And

719
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 1: he's come in done a great job just learning how

720
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: we've done things in the past and then putting his

721
00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,520
Speaker 1: spin on it, which is what you want because you

722
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: want him to you want him to control that room

723
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:13,640
Speaker 1: and and be the guy in that room. I don't

724
00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 1: want him to think that I'm kind of hovering over

725
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:18,319
Speaker 1: him because I trust him tremendously to do the job

726
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,319
Speaker 1: and to be the guy in that room. And I

727
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:24,200
Speaker 1: think he's done a great job with that. Between Joe,

728
00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 1: it's been great. I mean, um, you know, I think

729
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:33,680
Speaker 1: Joe's got a great feel for personalities, you know, because

730
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:36,839
Speaker 1: because Josh is different than Matt Barkley, than he's different

731
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:39,040
Speaker 1: than case Keenum and and he's got a great way

732
00:38:39,080 --> 00:38:44,160
Speaker 1: of relating with those guys um demanding you know, things

733
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,120
Speaker 1: from them at the same time understanding kind of the

734
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:51,560
Speaker 1: communication of what you see here. And okay, I understand that,

735
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: you know, think about this maybe. So I think he's

736
00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 1: got a great way about him, a great uh, great

737
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:59,440
Speaker 1: feel kind of how to how to how to handle

738
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: handle the room here. Get a little bit more opportunity

739
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 1: because to the guys missing time you guys drafted him,

740
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:09,240
Speaker 1: he was kind of slotted into this slot receiver only

741
00:39:09,920 --> 00:39:12,480
Speaker 1: thinking about him because of his size. Do you think

742
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:15,440
Speaker 1: he's capable a bit more than that or experimenting with that?

743
00:39:15,560 --> 00:39:18,040
Speaker 1: What's what's your vision for him? You know? Again, it's

744
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:21,120
Speaker 1: especially because he was kind of nicked up in the

745
00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:23,839
Speaker 1: otis and mini camps and and things. So we're still

746
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:26,960
Speaker 1: learning him a little bit too. Um, So he's gonna

747
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,439
Speaker 1: he's gonna continue to grow in his role and we're

748
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: going to continue to find out what he can do,

749
00:39:31,200 --> 00:39:35,239
Speaker 1: whether it's inside, outside or anything like that. So I

750
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:37,800
Speaker 1: don't I don't ever want to handcuff any of our guys.

751
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:41,480
Speaker 1: I want to be able to kind of see all,

752
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:44,160
Speaker 1: you know, what they can do. I mean, not just him,

753
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 1: but it's like, hey, I'm still learning what Gabe can do.

754
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 1: I can still learning what Steph can do, maybe differently

755
00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:50,640
Speaker 1: than what we've done with him in the past. So

756
00:39:51,080 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 1: all these guys, we're still trying to kind of, uh

757
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,439
Speaker 1: figure it out. And that's what train camps for train

758
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:01,160
Speaker 1: camps and otis and mini camps and all those for Hey,

759
00:40:01,320 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: just trying to figure out exactly, you know what what

760
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:09,399
Speaker 1: we can push them to do, uh, and then kind

761
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:14,120
Speaker 1: of fit that into the offense. Did like Clinton Morris

762
00:40:14,160 --> 00:40:15,840
Speaker 1: And where do you see his potential kind of continuing

763
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,240
Speaker 1: to grow? Yeah? I think again for a young player,

764
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 1: he's really come in and done some good things and

765
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: I'm excited to see him when the pads come on

766
00:40:24,160 --> 00:40:28,400
Speaker 1: and uh and just see see if that continue to

767
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 1: translate and watch him continue to grow and uh in

768
00:40:32,360 --> 00:40:35,319
Speaker 1: what he's doing. All right, that's Ken Dorsey. It's Ken

769
00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:38,480
Speaker 1: Dorsey here, the offensive coordinator for the Bills, addressing the

770
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:41,640
Speaker 1: media this morning. And you and I sat there for

771
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,480
Speaker 1: the duration of it. Our listeners just heard all of it.

772
00:40:45,040 --> 00:40:47,640
Speaker 1: What did you take away from it? It's early, so

773
00:40:47,680 --> 00:40:50,600
Speaker 1: he's not ready to pin guys down in specific roles,

774
00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:55,400
Speaker 1: but they're certainly looking at everything. Um, it's hard to

775
00:40:55,480 --> 00:40:59,080
Speaker 1: ignore shakier and the time that he's getting with Jamison

776
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:04,319
Speaker 1: Crowder currently not getting reps and Jay Kumero also not participating. Yeah,

777
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:08,520
Speaker 1: that that's all big, um. And I think it's important

778
00:41:08,520 --> 00:41:12,839
Speaker 1: somebody asking me today you know how m how much

779
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:16,680
Speaker 1: you know pads and no pads and stuff make a difference,

780
00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:20,000
Speaker 1: And it is big, Um, it's really big. Because some

781
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 1: guys play better in pads and some guys play worse

782
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 1: than pads. You gotta find that out about all of

783
00:41:24,400 --> 00:41:28,120
Speaker 1: them as well. But this is but these practices here

784
00:41:28,160 --> 00:41:32,000
Speaker 1: early on are really great. It's a really good thing

785
00:41:32,040 --> 00:41:33,719
Speaker 1: to build up to the point where you're known, you're

786
00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:35,520
Speaker 1: gonna put on helmets and pads on, You're gonna start

787
00:41:35,520 --> 00:41:37,440
Speaker 1: going a little bit more full, go and play physical

788
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:40,799
Speaker 1: like they do on game day because it gives these

789
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 1: guys a chance that wants the pass do go on.

790
00:41:42,600 --> 00:41:44,239
Speaker 1: You don't have You're not out there thinking about gosh,

791
00:41:44,239 --> 00:41:45,640
Speaker 1: I wonder where I line up, and wonder what I

792
00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,840
Speaker 1: do and what are my keys and those kind of things. Um,

793
00:41:47,920 --> 00:41:49,960
Speaker 1: they can play faster. And the first thing out of

794
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:53,800
Speaker 1: Ken Dorsey's mouth and this entire recording, I don't know

795
00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:55,560
Speaker 1: if we actually cut it on this recording that we

796
00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:57,319
Speaker 1: showed you, but at the beginning says I want my

797
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:59,800
Speaker 1: guys to be able to play fast, play with speed

798
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,600
Speaker 1: on the field. And that doesn't mean they're going to

799
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,279
Speaker 1: go out and get track guys. It means they play

800
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:07,239
Speaker 1: unfettered by mental hesitation. It means they play as fast

801
00:42:07,239 --> 00:42:09,040
Speaker 1: as they can with a lot of confidence. And that's

802
00:42:09,040 --> 00:42:10,719
Speaker 1: what it really means. I know we've talked a lot

803
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:14,000
Speaker 1: about James Cook and how smooth and effortless he makes

804
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,319
Speaker 1: things look. Shaqire has looked pretty smooth out here through

805
00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,520
Speaker 1: the first few days. It has not looked too big

806
00:42:19,520 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: for him, soft hands, He's made plays. Let's see if

807
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:27,120
Speaker 1: he can continue that once the pads go on later

808
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:29,400
Speaker 1: this week. We have to take a break here, but

809
00:42:29,440 --> 00:42:32,720
Speaker 1: when we come back, we will tell you in around

810
00:42:32,719 --> 00:42:37,240
Speaker 1: the NFL, which offensive tackles days as a left tackle

811
00:42:37,600 --> 00:42:41,319
Speaker 1: are officially over, and what player who has been out

812
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 1: for more than a season now is finally fully cleared

813
00:42:45,239 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 1: and back on the practice field at training camp. He'll

814
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:50,600
Speaker 1: tell you who those two folks are when we return

815
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,080
Speaker 1: here on one Bill's Live, presented by a Lot of Health,

816
00:42:53,120 --> 00:43:11,919
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. It is summer, and Bill's head coach,

817
00:43:11,920 --> 00:43:15,720
Speaker 1: Sean McDermott wants us all thinking about sun defense. Coach

818
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 1: is passionate about skin cancer prevention as it runs in

819
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:22,600
Speaker 1: his family, and he takes sun protection very seriously. You'll

820
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 1: see him out here in long sleeves and long pants.

821
00:43:25,360 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 1: Most importantly, of course, is wearing sunscreen. Right now, you

822
00:43:29,000 --> 00:43:31,719
Speaker 1: can stop by your local Wagmans for all of your

823
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:35,600
Speaker 1: sun protection needs. Wegmans will donate one dollar for every

824
00:43:35,719 --> 00:43:40,600
Speaker 1: Wegman sunscreen product sold through August thirty first in their Buffalo,

825
00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:43,840
Speaker 1: Rochester and Syracuse area stores. It's a great way to

826
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:47,760
Speaker 1: protect your family and help the fight against skin cancer

827
00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,120
Speaker 1: and think sun defense like Bill's head coach, Sean McDermott.

828
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 1: If you are attending camp and you're coming through and

829
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: for some reason, maybe you forgot to put some sunscreen

830
00:43:58,160 --> 00:44:00,759
Speaker 1: on before you left the house. There will be a

831
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 1: sunscreen booth to get completely completely covered and protected with

832
00:44:04,239 --> 00:44:07,840
Speaker 1: products like these, the spray tan m the spray sunscreen

833
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:12,160
Speaker 1: bottles that we have, although although that is a way

834
00:44:12,160 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: to protect yourself from the sun too. Instead of sitting

835
00:44:14,120 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 1: out in the sun and getting a tan, just spray

836
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 1: one on like they do in La. You know the

837
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:23,759
Speaker 1: thing that bothers me about the spray tan. Somebody's got

838
00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:27,319
Speaker 1: to do that for you. So you gotta get in,

839
00:44:28,320 --> 00:44:30,640
Speaker 1: you know, I mean, I know the ladies do this

840
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 1: more than the man. You gotta get in a bikini,

841
00:44:32,400 --> 00:44:34,680
Speaker 1: and then it's a matter of how tight do you

842
00:44:34,680 --> 00:44:36,279
Speaker 1: want to go with the tan lines here, and then

843
00:44:36,280 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 1: you know there's a there. I don't know, I don't

844
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,080
Speaker 1: know if i'd feel comfortable doing that. You just have

845
00:44:40,200 --> 00:44:43,080
Speaker 1: some dude come in and spray up and down, or

846
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 1: they have those boots with the rotating things. Now without

847
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,920
Speaker 1: a person spraying yet, I'll admit, my bikini doesn't fit

848
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,160
Speaker 1: like it once did, so I kind of stay away.

849
00:44:52,320 --> 00:44:56,799
Speaker 1: I don't own one on purpose. Well it yeah, it's

850
00:44:56,800 --> 00:44:58,200
Speaker 1: a better way to go if you really want to.

851
00:44:58,680 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 1: Don't look, you know, like of course you could also

852
00:45:01,040 --> 00:45:04,359
Speaker 1: look orange, not fluorescent, but what is it? Translucent? Like

853
00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:08,200
Speaker 1: translucent some of us do, and he got to get

854
00:45:08,239 --> 00:45:09,960
Speaker 1: some color. I'd like to see where they do those

855
00:45:10,719 --> 00:45:14,800
Speaker 1: translucent Yeah, it almost looks like you can see through

856
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 1: you know. It's, oh my gosh, it's so bad. Uh.

857
00:45:17,680 --> 00:45:20,800
Speaker 1: We said that we would tell you the left tackle

858
00:45:20,920 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 1: who is a left tackle no more? He plays in

859
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:26,720
Speaker 1: the AFC East Steve and his name is mackay Beckton.

860
00:45:27,040 --> 00:45:30,719
Speaker 1: Ye Robert Sala, head coach of the Jets, said today

861
00:45:31,239 --> 00:45:36,280
Speaker 1: McKay Beckton's days at left tackle are over. George Fant

862
00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:38,680
Speaker 1: will be lined up as the starting left tackle for

863
00:45:38,719 --> 00:45:42,160
Speaker 1: the Jets. McKay Beckton will flip over to right tackle

864
00:45:42,520 --> 00:45:44,600
Speaker 1: and apparently is never going to see the left tackle

865
00:45:44,680 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: spot in his career with the Jets ever. Again, not

866
00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:49,759
Speaker 1: with the Jets, and they've been talking about it for

867
00:45:49,800 --> 00:45:52,600
Speaker 1: a while. McKay Beckton is he's the guy that's like,

868
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: I don't know, he's like eight feet tall and nine

869
00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,000
Speaker 1: thousand pounds or something. He's really huge. He did come

870
00:45:57,040 --> 00:45:59,719
Speaker 1: in in shape. According to all reports, on the way in.

871
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:04,719
Speaker 1: He came in in a shape. Um. But yeah, he

872
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,560
Speaker 1: has been a disappointment for the Jets that he did

873
00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,640
Speaker 1: play left tackle for two years. I think of his

874
00:46:09,680 --> 00:46:13,880
Speaker 1: career right this is third year and he just he

875
00:46:13,920 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: can't hold the spot down he was. Um, he's just

876
00:46:18,120 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 1: not good enough. He had the knee injury too last

877
00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 1: year and only played in one game and so for that,

878
00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 1: that's the way it is. He's not playing left tackles.

879
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: They're gonna give a shot at right tackle and let

880
00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: him go from there. Yeah. So that's the news out

881
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,760
Speaker 1: of Jets camp. The news out of Saints camp. Michael

882
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 1: Thomas is finally back on the field. I know this

883
00:46:38,800 --> 00:46:40,520
Speaker 1: is a what have you done for me lately? League?

884
00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:42,920
Speaker 1: But when that guy was last on the field and

885
00:46:42,960 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 1: playing football, he was the best receiver in the game.

886
00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:49,560
Speaker 1: He was. Will he get back to that is the question.

887
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 1: But if he can get anywhere close, that is seismic

888
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:56,200
Speaker 1: news for the Saints offense. Yeah, it'll be interesting because

889
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:59,080
Speaker 1: Drew Brees is long gone and he's the guy that

890
00:46:59,320 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 1: helped him get to that level. And you're right, he

891
00:47:04,719 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: was a force, a force, but as we've seen other play,

892
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:14,040
Speaker 1: he had some obstacles with injuries to overcome and now

893
00:47:14,040 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 1: getting back on the It's got to feel great for

894
00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,360
Speaker 1: him to come out and do that. And far be

895
00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:23,040
Speaker 1: it from me to compliment anything related to the New

896
00:47:23,080 --> 00:47:26,879
Speaker 1: England Patriots, but I am going to compliment their media.

897
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:30,000
Speaker 1: The big mystery this offseason is who is going to

898
00:47:30,040 --> 00:47:33,080
Speaker 1: be calling the plays for the New England Patriots. Day

899
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,640
Speaker 1: one of camp, the New England media is on it

900
00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:39,920
Speaker 1: like White on Rice Steve. They're out there at the

901
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:45,200
Speaker 1: practice field and they report the following Matt Patricia has

902
00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:48,480
Speaker 1: a wakie talkie and is calling offensive plays here at

903
00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:53,040
Speaker 1: practice during the full team period. Now watch Belichick do

904
00:47:53,160 --> 00:47:57,120
Speaker 1: this tomorrow. He's gonna have Joe Judge the place in

905
00:47:57,120 --> 00:48:00,560
Speaker 1: Milwaukee talkie. You know it's coming. He's He's got to

906
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,560
Speaker 1: have an answer to the opening salvo from the New

907
00:48:03,560 --> 00:48:07,080
Speaker 1: England media, who are basically revealing that Patricia, at least

908
00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,680
Speaker 1: in its first iteration, is going to be the offensive

909
00:48:09,719 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: coordinator here. Yeah, it's interesting too. One year as an

910
00:48:14,400 --> 00:48:17,160
Speaker 1: offensive line coach, that is his only experience on the

911
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:19,719
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball. Right, And I'll say this,

912
00:48:20,600 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: when they came Matt Patricia was head coach of the

913
00:48:22,920 --> 00:48:26,799
Speaker 1: Detroit Lions and then spent last year as a finger

914
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,799
Speaker 1: quotes offensive or football consultant for the Patriots. He's still

915
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,239
Speaker 1: making money from the Detroit Lions after they fired him.

916
00:48:33,840 --> 00:48:36,680
Speaker 1: And I think one of the reasons guys like Matt

917
00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:40,360
Speaker 1: Patricia come back and go back to work for the

918
00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:42,319
Speaker 1: New England Patriots, a team that they left to go

919
00:48:42,400 --> 00:48:45,560
Speaker 1: be a head coach, is that Bill Belichick understands these

920
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:49,520
Speaker 1: guys they want to be a head coach. Like Josh McDaniel,

921
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:53,200
Speaker 1: who was the head coach of the Denver Broncos for

922
00:48:53,239 --> 00:48:56,400
Speaker 1: a hot minute, drafted Tim Tebow and then was promptly

923
00:48:56,480 --> 00:49:00,680
Speaker 1: fired when that didn't go well. Matt patric the same thing.

924
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,680
Speaker 1: These guys come back to New England because they want

925
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:05,160
Speaker 1: to advance their career. He wants to get from the

926
00:49:05,239 --> 00:49:08,120
Speaker 1: defensive coordinator for those Super Bowl team, the latest Super

927
00:49:08,120 --> 00:49:10,239
Speaker 1: Bowl teams that the Patriots have had over you know,

928
00:49:10,320 --> 00:49:12,160
Speaker 1: now it's been a few years, but they want a

929
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,160
Speaker 1: couple three of them in a cluster there. And with

930
00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:18,120
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia's the defensive coordina and I don't know how

931
00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,200
Speaker 1: many rings he's got, probably a ton because he's been

932
00:49:21,239 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: there for a long time, but he was an offensive

933
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:24,799
Speaker 1: coordinate and now he wants to come back, and I'm

934
00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:28,319
Speaker 1: sure Belichick said, if you want, we'll let you get

935
00:49:28,360 --> 00:49:32,160
Speaker 1: some expertise on the offensive side of the ball, flex

936
00:49:32,239 --> 00:49:34,960
Speaker 1: your muscles there, and then get a head coaching job

937
00:49:35,000 --> 00:49:36,719
Speaker 1: somewhere else. That's how you get good guys back in

938
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:39,359
Speaker 1: your building, right. And I'm not saying, man Patricia isn't

939
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:44,959
Speaker 1: a good coach in this league, but I mean, Ken

940
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:47,279
Speaker 1: Dorsey has been a quarterbacks coach here for three years.

941
00:49:47,360 --> 00:49:51,279
Speaker 1: He was a quarterbacks coach in Carolina, dealta on the

942
00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:53,960
Speaker 1: offensive side of the ball with two very athletic quarterbacks.

943
00:49:54,239 --> 00:49:56,480
Speaker 1: I feel good about him being promoted into a job

944
00:49:56,520 --> 00:49:59,480
Speaker 1: where he's calling the place here in Buffalo. It just

945
00:49:59,520 --> 00:50:05,520
Speaker 1: seems a little I don't know if uniques the word

946
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:09,279
Speaker 1: or unusual to promote the people that he has promoted

947
00:50:09,880 --> 00:50:13,920
Speaker 1: and believing that it's going to work without any hiccups.

948
00:50:13,960 --> 00:50:16,759
Speaker 1: That's That's that's where I come down on that. It's

949
00:50:16,760 --> 00:50:18,840
Speaker 1: just it struck me as strange that those were the

950
00:50:18,920 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 1: choices he came up with. Yeah, Patricia and Joe Judge.

951
00:50:22,320 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 1: Joe and Joe Judge was special teams. He had a

952
00:50:25,080 --> 00:50:27,000
Speaker 1: year on offense, and then it was largely a special

953
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:32,080
Speaker 1: teams coach. Look, hey, I hope it doesn't work blows

954
00:50:32,120 --> 00:50:34,360
Speaker 1: up in their face. Yeah right, but that would be glorious.

955
00:50:34,520 --> 00:50:37,200
Speaker 1: I think you're right. I think there probably is. I

956
00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 1: don't think it's going to be a defenitive answer from

957
00:50:39,080 --> 00:50:41,360
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick, and I think they'll You're right. He probably

958
00:50:41,360 --> 00:50:44,320
Speaker 1: will give the headset to a Joe Judge next and

959
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 1: and he but I'll say this too, and I think

960
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,799
Speaker 1: it's really true. The only thing he cares about with

961
00:50:49,880 --> 00:50:52,200
Speaker 1: the media in being genuine with him or telling them

962
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 1: the truth, is he doesn't want to talk to them

963
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:00,200
Speaker 1: at all because it's nothing but a competitive disadvantage. He's

964
00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:03,759
Speaker 1: always been that way. His remarks in front of the

965
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:08,480
Speaker 1: microphone have always been guarded at best. And you know,

966
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:12,520
Speaker 1: the guy just he treats the media, and he treats

967
00:51:12,560 --> 00:51:16,120
Speaker 1: us in the media like what we are. We're an

968
00:51:16,120 --> 00:51:19,360
Speaker 1: information gatherer and he wants no information to go outside

969
00:51:19,400 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 1: the walls of their building. And he always has. He's

970
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,680
Speaker 1: always been that way. So it wouldn't surprise me if

971
00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:28,040
Speaker 1: there was some gamesmanship with this walkie talkie thing. Okay, right, sure,

972
00:51:28,760 --> 00:51:31,120
Speaker 1: that's not gonna surprise you right now. They won't surprise man.

973
00:51:31,200 --> 00:51:33,719
Speaker 1: Come on, they spend I threw something more important, you

974
00:51:33,760 --> 00:51:35,840
Speaker 1: know what I mean. All Right, we gotta take a

975
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:39,160
Speaker 1: break here because when we come back, the man himself

976
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:42,480
Speaker 1: will be here. QB one for your Buffalo Bills. Josh

Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bills Radio. Had a Steve Tasker who has

980
00:52:08,040 --> 00:52:10,360
Speaker 1: been all over the fields, kind of unique. He was

981
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:16,200
Speaker 1: kind of a dual role player for you. Steve a blimp.

982
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:25,520
Speaker 1: We're not even in the straded here of normalcy. Welcome

Speaker 1: back to One Bill's Live. Chris Brown, Steve Tasker with you,

984
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:29,840
Speaker 1: and we're joined by that guy that plays quarterback for

985
00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:31,400
Speaker 1: the Buffalo Bills you may have heard from. His name

986
00:52:31,440 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 1: is Josh Allen. Josh, thanks for joining us, so thanks

987
00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:36,480
Speaker 1: for having me. Um. I want to start here because

988
00:52:36,640 --> 00:52:40,000
Speaker 1: we talked to coach Dorsey today and we were talking

989
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:42,120
Speaker 1: to him about the call it segments of practice when

990
00:52:42,400 --> 00:52:44,120
Speaker 1: he gets called some of the plays. For you guys,

991
00:52:44,440 --> 00:52:47,720
Speaker 1: through the first three or four days, how has he done?

992
00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:50,040
Speaker 1: What's your what's your assessment of your new OC. I

993
00:52:50,080 --> 00:52:52,400
Speaker 1: think he's done a great job. I think today especially

994
00:52:52,600 --> 00:52:55,520
Speaker 1: just he's doing a great job of feeling the flow

995
00:52:55,520 --> 00:52:57,600
Speaker 1: of how practice is going, trying to end on a

996
00:52:57,640 --> 00:52:59,880
Speaker 1: strong note. Yep. Um. I think from start to finish,

997
00:53:00,239 --> 00:53:02,080
Speaker 1: offense had a at a really good day. We were

998
00:53:02,200 --> 00:53:05,000
Speaker 1: tuned in, we were locked in, guys were executing at

999
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,400
Speaker 1: a very high level. Um. And you love to have

1000
00:53:07,400 --> 00:53:09,799
Speaker 1: those days. Obviously, the first couple of days, uh, it's

1001
00:53:09,800 --> 00:53:12,439
Speaker 1: a little mixed back sometimes communication, a couple of things

1002
00:53:12,440 --> 00:53:14,880
Speaker 1: here or there, a couple of bad throws. But I

1003
00:53:14,920 --> 00:53:17,040
Speaker 1: think in the quarterback room we've met, we've been making

1004
00:53:17,200 --> 00:53:19,719
Speaker 1: good decisions. Sometimes the ball can get away from us

1005
00:53:19,719 --> 00:53:21,360
Speaker 1: here there and something we got to tighten up. But

1006
00:53:21,400 --> 00:53:23,480
Speaker 1: in terms of good decision making, we've done a good

1007
00:53:23,560 --> 00:53:25,000
Speaker 1: job with us down there. At the end, it looked

1008
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:27,680
Speaker 1: like he he caught the defense and some good he's

1009
00:53:27,719 --> 00:53:29,600
Speaker 1: dialing up some winners. He really was, He really was.

1010
00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,320
Speaker 1: And again you get you get more, you know, longer

1011
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,640
Speaker 1: into training camp, you get so much more plays that

1012
00:53:34,680 --> 00:53:37,480
Speaker 1: are being installed, so you got more at your repertoire.

1013
00:53:37,520 --> 00:53:40,000
Speaker 1: And he's he's been doing a good job. Give us

1014
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:42,000
Speaker 1: a little all right, here's what all the weapons you

1015
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:44,160
Speaker 1: have on offense? Give us a rundown each each and

1016
00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:48,959
Speaker 1: everyone plus his line. No, it's it's fun to watch

1017
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:51,280
Speaker 1: these guys take take part in this. You're you're getting

1018
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,200
Speaker 1: to know all these new guys. Crowders has has not

1019
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,520
Speaker 1: played because he you know, I had the one prag.

1020
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:56,160
Speaker 1: Now he's kind of tight. But you're getting a chance

1021
00:53:56,160 --> 00:53:58,600
Speaker 1: to look with you know, Khalil Shakers a new guy.

1022
00:53:59,160 --> 00:54:01,560
Speaker 1: Isaam McKenzie's getting more reps than we've ever seen him

1023
00:54:01,600 --> 00:54:04,000
Speaker 1: get in practice. And of course Gabe Is is on

1024
00:54:04,040 --> 00:54:05,560
Speaker 1: the field with you all the time. Give us an

1025
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,120
Speaker 1: idea how this might be feel a little different. Every

1026
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 1: team's different. Yeah, every year is a it's a different

1027
00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 1: puzzle and you got to figure out a way to

1028
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:15,280
Speaker 1: piece it together. So, you know, adding guys like Jamison

1029
00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:17,320
Speaker 1: crowd or O. J. Howard drafting a couple of different

1030
00:54:17,360 --> 00:54:20,560
Speaker 1: guys and Khalil and Um Jimbo he call him Jimbo

1031
00:54:20,640 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 1: James Cook Um. He loves it, by the way. He's

1032
00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:27,960
Speaker 1: a funny guy. He talks, He talks a lot, you know.

1033
00:54:28,080 --> 00:54:32,719
Speaker 1: Hem No, but again, everybody's kind of got their own

1034
00:54:32,719 --> 00:54:34,400
Speaker 1: little different skill set and we gotta find ways to

1035
00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:36,640
Speaker 1: get them on the field, because again, when you have

1036
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:39,959
Speaker 1: so many different weapons, if some guys on you know, something,

1037
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:42,600
Speaker 1: not only there's only one ball first of all, and

1038
00:54:42,600 --> 00:54:44,720
Speaker 1: you can only have five skill players on the field

1039
00:54:44,719 --> 00:54:47,720
Speaker 1: at one time. So figuring out who's on the field,

1040
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 1: what they're good at, trying to find ways to hide

1041
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:51,719
Speaker 1: what they're good out because you don't want, you know,

1042
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:53,320
Speaker 1: like kind of like Isaiah last year's kind of a

1043
00:54:53,320 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: gadget guy, jet sweeps and stuff like that. Now he's

1044
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,040
Speaker 1: been incorporated into our real offense and he's running some

1045
00:54:58,040 --> 00:55:00,360
Speaker 1: different routes for us and jukes and options and overs.

1046
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,960
Speaker 1: So just adding those things, you know, and allowing us

1047
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,719
Speaker 1: to be multiple and keeping the you know, defense on

1048
00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: their feet, you gotta you have a little bit of

1049
00:55:09,320 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 1: a of a pleasant it's a little bit unusual. Um,

1050
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,879
Speaker 1: you know, Daves was great. We all love Brian Dave

1051
00:55:14,920 --> 00:55:16,200
Speaker 1: all and we wish him the best in New York

1052
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:18,920
Speaker 1: when you were close with him and I was buddies

1053
00:55:18,960 --> 00:55:21,799
Speaker 1: with us, still am, But it's different now Ken Dorsey's here,

1054
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:26,040
Speaker 1: and it's it's the question of training camp because the

1055
00:55:26,080 --> 00:55:28,840
Speaker 1: players are the players, but coaches are They live in

1056
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,279
Speaker 1: their own world up there in the box. Um, tell

1057
00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:34,480
Speaker 1: us how that transition has gone for you personally and

1058
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:37,480
Speaker 1: how how much of a difference it could make. The

1059
00:55:37,520 --> 00:55:39,799
Speaker 1: fact that you have a big history with Ken Dorsey. Yeah,

1060
00:55:39,880 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: I think that's what you just said, the history that

1061
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:44,120
Speaker 1: we have. We've been in the same quarterback room for

1062
00:55:44,160 --> 00:55:47,800
Speaker 1: the last three years, and you know, relationships with quarterback

1063
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:50,040
Speaker 1: coaches and offensive quordinator are just a little bit different.

1064
00:55:50,080 --> 00:55:51,800
Speaker 1: I think you get a little bit more in depth

1065
00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 1: with your quarterback coach because you spend so much more time.

1066
00:55:54,400 --> 00:55:56,040
Speaker 1: You know, we're we're in the room right now with

1067
00:55:56,400 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: Joe and you know, we finished our film. It's just like,

1068
00:55:59,080 --> 00:56:01,600
Speaker 1: all right, we're just talking about life. We're talking about

1069
00:56:01,640 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 1: literally anything and everything that can go on. So that

1070
00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,919
Speaker 1: relationship is there, and it's just it's it's a very

1071
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,160
Speaker 1: tight bond that you know, me and coach Dorsey have

1072
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,600
Speaker 1: so and that's gonna pay dividends on the field. You

1073
00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,520
Speaker 1: mentioned the first couple of days there was a little frustration.

1074
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:16,360
Speaker 1: You know, maybe you guys didn't have it all buttoned

1075
00:56:16,440 --> 00:56:18,240
Speaker 1: up like you wanted to, which is to be expected

1076
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:20,359
Speaker 1: early in camp. But there was a moment you say, Yeah,

1077
00:56:20,360 --> 00:56:22,279
Speaker 1: to take your helmet off and take a breath. How

1078
00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:27,239
Speaker 1: do you best compartmentalize frustration? Knowing the role that you

1079
00:56:27,280 --> 00:56:29,600
Speaker 1: have on this team? Because body language has been through you,

1080
00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,200
Speaker 1: you know that. I mean, I'm not telling you anything

1081
00:56:31,200 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 1: you don't know, But how do you compartmentalize frustration? Well,

1082
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,719
Speaker 1: I probably don't do it the right way. I'm a

1083
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:39,600
Speaker 1: big negative self talker. I've got a light of fire

1084
00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:42,640
Speaker 1: under myself to get going, and you know, it works

1085
00:56:42,680 --> 00:56:45,520
Speaker 1: for some people. Sometimes it doesn't. But I've got so much,

1086
00:56:45,920 --> 00:56:49,080
Speaker 1: you know, such high expectations for myself. I hold myself

1087
00:56:49,120 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 1: to such a high standard. When things aren't going how

1088
00:56:51,760 --> 00:56:54,080
Speaker 1: I expect them to go, that's what I have to do.

1089
00:56:54,080 --> 00:56:56,000
Speaker 1: I take a breath and kind of sit back, collect

1090
00:56:56,040 --> 00:56:57,840
Speaker 1: my thoughts, and then go try to execute. But you

1091
00:56:57,920 --> 00:57:00,520
Speaker 1: have to have a short attention span as quarterback. You

1092
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,280
Speaker 1: can't focus on what just happen. You got to focus

1093
00:57:02,280 --> 00:57:05,319
Speaker 1: on what can happen next. So, um, just finding a

1094
00:57:05,320 --> 00:57:06,920
Speaker 1: way to reset, lock in and try to be the

1095
00:57:06,920 --> 00:57:08,520
Speaker 1: best leader that I can be. So you're going in

1096
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:13,319
Speaker 1: year five and you've been here taking snaps a ton.

1097
00:57:14,360 --> 00:57:16,919
Speaker 1: You're looking across now to defense. How's the defense. Look

1098
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 1: to you now that you've got different guys up front

1099
00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,640
Speaker 1: for them, you got Vaughan on the outside, same cast

1100
00:57:22,680 --> 00:57:24,440
Speaker 1: of characters in the safeties and stuff. Give us an

1101
00:57:24,440 --> 00:57:26,160
Speaker 1: idea of what you're playing against them. And you know

1102
00:57:26,280 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 1: you said yesterday they're frustrating. There's a little different cat

1103
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 1: this year. Yeah, I mean, I think if you look

1104
00:57:30,560 --> 00:57:33,920
Speaker 1: especially at our defensive ends, um a lot of length.

1105
00:57:34,360 --> 00:57:37,640
Speaker 1: You know, yes, it's it's hard to get these screens

1106
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:39,680
Speaker 1: out there. It's hard to do some of these RPOs

1107
00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:41,560
Speaker 1: and read options. But your side arm and a lot

1108
00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: of stuff. Yeah, again, they're playing it so well right now,

1109
00:57:43,840 --> 00:57:46,160
Speaker 1: and again it's that's to be expected early on in camp.

1110
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:49,520
Speaker 1: But you know, no pads, d line going going pretty hard.

1111
00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:51,720
Speaker 1: That pocket closes pretty quick. But you know, when we

1112
00:57:51,800 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 1: put pads on, hopefully that'll slow down a little bit.

1113
00:57:53,640 --> 00:57:57,760
Speaker 1: But you know, our our secondary with with Poe and

1114
00:57:57,840 --> 00:58:00,360
Speaker 1: Micah and Terren Johnson. I know we don't have Trey

1115
00:58:00,400 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 1: back out there yet, but you know, Dane's doing a

1116
00:58:02,360 --> 00:58:05,040
Speaker 1: good job. Cam's doing a good job. And then you

1117
00:58:05,080 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 1: know the rook you know, I call him stupid rookie.

1118
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:09,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's that's what I call it rookies, but

1119
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 1: he's doing a good job about this. He's he's especially

1120
00:58:11,920 --> 00:58:15,080
Speaker 1: that guy right he is. He is long, he is fast,

1121
00:58:15,160 --> 00:58:17,400
Speaker 1: he's physical. It's good to see some of the things

1122
00:58:17,400 --> 00:58:20,280
Speaker 1: that he's doing. What I really respect out of him.

1123
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:23,520
Speaker 1: I'm I'm his lockroomte He's got an extreme self belief

1124
00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,520
Speaker 1: in himself, so it is good to have it. He

1125
00:58:26,560 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 1: absolutely does, and um, you know he's got it. He

1126
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:31,280
Speaker 1: really does. So I know there's gonna be some bumps

1127
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:33,640
Speaker 1: and bruises along the way, you know, as expected, but

1128
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 1: he's got it. You mentioned Isaiah already, and Mackenzie has

1129
00:58:38,400 --> 00:58:39,920
Speaker 1: even said, you know, I'm gonna have a larger role

1130
00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:41,600
Speaker 1: in this offense. It looks like it's fine. His role

1131
00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 1: in the offense has finally reached critical mass. Um. He

1132
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:47,320
Speaker 1: mentioned the on field chemistry that you and him have.

1133
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 1: When did that get to a place where not that

1134
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:52,800
Speaker 1: you don't have confidence in the guys you're throwing to,

1135
00:58:52,960 --> 00:58:54,560
Speaker 1: but you know what I mean, There's there's a point

1136
00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:58,560
Speaker 1: that a relationship on the field reaches where the symmetry

1137
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:00,960
Speaker 1: is effortless, and it looks like you guys have reached

1138
00:59:01,040 --> 00:59:04,880
Speaker 1: that point together. When did you feel that really happened.

1139
00:59:04,960 --> 00:59:06,840
Speaker 1: Was it last year? Was it that New England game

1140
00:59:06,880 --> 00:59:09,240
Speaker 1: when him did that reach critical mask for you too?

1141
00:59:09,400 --> 00:59:11,600
Speaker 1: I mean, if you break it down, he's actually the

1142
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:14,120
Speaker 1: longest tenured receiver that we have on our roster myself,

1143
00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:17,000
Speaker 1: So we've known each other for a very long time.

1144
00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:20,200
Speaker 1: I remember him getting here, um rookie year, having him

1145
00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:22,120
Speaker 1: over for Thanksgiving. You'd only been with us for maybe

1146
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,720
Speaker 1: maybe a week, and had him over for Thanksgiving and

1147
00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:28,160
Speaker 1: he just fit right in, you know, and didn't hold

1148
00:59:28,200 --> 00:59:29,880
Speaker 1: back from what he thought, what he was gonna say,

1149
00:59:30,080 --> 00:59:31,760
Speaker 1: you know, at the dinner table, what he's gonna do.

1150
00:59:31,880 --> 00:59:35,360
Speaker 1: But um, he is a he's a great person. You know.

1151
00:59:35,400 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: He brings a lot of energy and juice to the sideline,

1152
00:59:38,720 --> 00:59:40,240
Speaker 1: to the field. You can see it. He's a little

1153
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:42,640
Speaker 1: he's a little jitterbug out there. So um and good

1154
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,600
Speaker 1: things happen with the balls in his hands. How how

1155
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:46,960
Speaker 1: you handling this camp? I mean, I you know, everywhere

1156
00:59:46,960 --> 00:59:49,400
Speaker 1: you go, it's like you know, you're the Pope. I mean,

1157
00:59:49,440 --> 00:59:51,720
Speaker 1: they're your presence kind of goes out. We knew you

1158
00:59:51,720 --> 00:59:53,760
Speaker 1: were coming, like thirty seconds before you showed up because

1159
00:59:53,760 --> 00:59:56,439
Speaker 1: of this huge there's a concofidy of no, you're looking

1160
00:59:56,440 --> 00:59:57,960
Speaker 1: forward to Is it a day or do you take

1161
00:59:57,960 --> 00:59:59,439
Speaker 1: this like you just go to the next thing, next

1162
00:59:59,440 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: thing that order you have. Are you standing up and

1163
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:02,720
Speaker 1: looking down the road and saying this and I can't

1164
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,120
Speaker 1: wait to get on the field against Denver and Buffalo

1165
01:00:05,160 --> 01:00:07,200
Speaker 1: in in a couple of weeks for preseason? Now, I

1166
01:00:07,280 --> 01:00:09,040
Speaker 1: believe you want to say this. I have no idea

1167
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:11,320
Speaker 1: what's on our schedule next. Yeah, I don't look at

1168
01:00:11,360 --> 01:00:13,320
Speaker 1: what's next as soon as like I wake up and

1169
01:00:13,320 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 1: I'm like, all right, I know we have team meet

1170
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:17,360
Speaker 1: at eight thirty and practice right after. But it's just

1171
01:00:17,400 --> 01:00:19,240
Speaker 1: like all right, I'm following guys and figuring it out,

1172
01:00:19,320 --> 01:00:21,560
Speaker 1: you know, So go, I gotta get something to eat,

1173
01:00:21,880 --> 01:00:24,000
Speaker 1: and then we got a bunch of meetings and meetings

1174
01:00:24,040 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 1: after meetings and then walk through. But again, like in

1175
01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:29,600
Speaker 1: terms of like time wise, I don't today's Wednesday or

1176
01:00:29,600 --> 01:00:32,680
Speaker 1: Thursday to Wednesday Wednesday? Okay. It's like I'm with you.

1177
01:00:32,800 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 1: Just can't happen that you kind of forget what day

1178
01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,919
Speaker 1: it is, what time it is? Do I Mean, it's

1179
01:00:38,080 --> 01:00:39,880
Speaker 1: it's a grind, but it's something that I love to do.

1180
01:00:40,000 --> 01:00:42,840
Speaker 1: You talked about yards after catching the spring and how

1181
01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,480
Speaker 1: was that an area you'd like to improve. That's a

1182
01:00:45,840 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 1: that's a double sided thing though. It's you, but it's

1183
01:00:48,280 --> 01:00:51,960
Speaker 1: also Ken creating the route concepts to give those guys

1184
01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,040
Speaker 1: space after the catch, right, I mean he's got to

1185
01:00:54,360 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 1: distribute people out on the field in such a way

1186
01:00:56,320 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 1: where there is space for them to exploit after they

1187
01:00:58,400 --> 01:01:01,000
Speaker 1: get the ball from you. Right. For sure. Again, I

1188
01:01:01,040 --> 01:01:03,680
Speaker 1: think you play off the strengths of what you can do,

1189
01:01:03,800 --> 01:01:05,960
Speaker 1: and I think that we're very good outside the numbers,

1190
01:01:06,520 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 1: you know, running some obviously goes, comebacks, outs, things of

1191
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:14,360
Speaker 1: that nature where guys are using their speed and then

1192
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:18,000
Speaker 1: shutting it down or they're gonna keep going. And usually

1193
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,160
Speaker 1: when you're throwing the ball to the sideline, it's catching

1194
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:22,800
Speaker 1: probably get out of bounds and we understand that. So

1195
01:01:22,840 --> 01:01:26,520
Speaker 1: incorporating some more insight stuff obviously something that you know

1196
01:01:26,600 --> 01:01:28,400
Speaker 1: we want to do to allow us to have some

1197
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,080
Speaker 1: more rack. Your vibe is this How much do you

1198
01:01:31,080 --> 01:01:33,480
Speaker 1: guys talk about it, if at all? How close are

1199
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:35,480
Speaker 1: you now with Ken Dorsey and all the changes and

1200
01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:37,560
Speaker 1: the new guys. How close are you do you feel

1201
01:01:37,560 --> 01:01:39,840
Speaker 1: confidence you can step up and the way the season

1202
01:01:39,960 --> 01:01:41,919
Speaker 1: ended last year with all the game of perfection against

1203
01:01:41,960 --> 01:01:43,680
Speaker 1: New England in the playoffs. You go to Chiefs and

1204
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:47,480
Speaker 1: you and you're lighting up the scoreboard. How confident are you?

1205
01:01:47,600 --> 01:01:49,800
Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on being able to hit the

1206
01:01:49,800 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 1: ground running? That's where we're gonna be right when we

1207
01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,760
Speaker 1: take off, you know, I mean it's unlikely, yeah, because

1208
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:55,000
Speaker 1: of all this, you know, the water run of the

1209
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:57,280
Speaker 1: bridge again, you would hope that would happen. But at

1210
01:01:57,280 --> 01:01:59,479
Speaker 1: the same time, that's pretty under to have that feel.

1211
01:01:59,560 --> 01:02:01,720
Speaker 1: So we've got to we've got to use that that

1212
01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,439
Speaker 1: game to kind of fuel us and kind of get

1213
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 1: back going. We know it's not gonna be perfect, um,

1214
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:08,560
Speaker 1: you know, going back to two years ago, you know,

1215
01:02:08,800 --> 01:02:11,040
Speaker 1: ending on a pretty good note too, and then kind

1216
01:02:11,040 --> 01:02:12,560
Speaker 1: of hill low in the middle of the season last

1217
01:02:12,600 --> 01:02:13,960
Speaker 1: year and then found a way to kind of climb

1218
01:02:13,960 --> 01:02:17,280
Speaker 1: back into things. But we we're just gonna take it

1219
01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,320
Speaker 1: one week at a time. I know it's as cliche

1220
01:02:19,360 --> 01:02:21,800
Speaker 1: as I can get, but that's that's the God's honest truth.

1221
01:02:21,880 --> 01:02:24,560
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if we're throwing the ball fifty times or

1222
01:02:24,600 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 1: run the ball fifty times, be if we're ending, you know,

1223
01:02:26,680 --> 01:02:28,640
Speaker 1: ending the first game in a w and then moving

1224
01:02:28,680 --> 01:02:31,320
Speaker 1: on to the next, and that's the mindset is just

1225
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,280
Speaker 1: let's just figure out a way to win a football game.

1226
01:02:34,120 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 1: Jimbo Cook and um Shaquire, for two rookies, are getting

1227
01:02:38,880 --> 01:02:42,240
Speaker 1: some pretty quality reps here in the early going, so

1228
01:02:42,280 --> 01:02:45,000
Speaker 1: it would seem that they're on a fast track at

1229
01:02:45,080 --> 01:02:46,880
Speaker 1: least right now. I know the pads aren't even on yet,

1230
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:49,640
Speaker 1: we haven't gotten to the first preseason game. When they

1231
01:02:49,680 --> 01:02:52,320
Speaker 1: go into those roles, what is your feedback for them,

1232
01:02:52,360 --> 01:02:54,400
Speaker 1: because you gotta believe they're thinking, all right, I gotta

1233
01:02:54,520 --> 01:02:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, I gotta be on point here. I'm you know,

1234
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:58,720
Speaker 1: I'm up here with some of the starters, like, I

1235
01:02:58,760 --> 01:03:02,160
Speaker 1: gotta do right by these guys. Do you find that

1236
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:03,800
Speaker 1: you have to calm them down or as a Cook

1237
01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 1: seems as cool as a Q comper all the time.

1238
01:03:05,560 --> 01:03:07,240
Speaker 1: But I don't know about you here, but maybe you

1239
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,080
Speaker 1: can shed some light up now. I would be back

1240
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:11,360
Speaker 1: here giving that. I would say it's pretty similar for

1241
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:13,880
Speaker 1: both guys. They're demeanor of how they're attacking, you know,

1242
01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:19,520
Speaker 1: each and every day. Obviously with James and Clil, those

1243
01:03:19,520 --> 01:03:21,840
Speaker 1: are going to be some prominent pass catchers for US.

1244
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:24,360
Speaker 1: You know, Jimbo out of the backfield's gonna he's really good,

1245
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 1: you know, catching the ball. So making sure that they

1246
01:03:27,960 --> 01:03:31,120
Speaker 1: understand what I expect from them in certain routes. But

1247
01:03:31,160 --> 01:03:33,720
Speaker 1: at the same time, we want them to be themselves. Right,

1248
01:03:33,760 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 1: We drafted them and we wanted them to be here

1249
01:03:36,440 --> 01:03:39,160
Speaker 1: because of who they are and what they've done and

1250
01:03:39,240 --> 01:03:41,000
Speaker 1: what they can do for us. So we don't want

1251
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 1: them to change. We want them to be themselves, to

1252
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:46,000
Speaker 1: be the best versions of themselves as they can, you know,

1253
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:47,600
Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and it's just it

1254
01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 1: comes back to the team. You know, what can you

1255
01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:51,040
Speaker 1: do to help this team win football games? Last one

1256
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:54,120
Speaker 1: for me? You know, it's always happens. You get to

1257
01:03:54,200 --> 01:03:55,960
Speaker 1: training camp and things happen again. They go, oh yeah,

1258
01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,120
Speaker 1: it's supposed to happen. We hear a lot about you know,

1259
01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,040
Speaker 1: some of these guys are flashing, playing well as go

1260
01:04:00,760 --> 01:04:04,040
Speaker 1: pads come on Saturday. Give us an idea of what

1261
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:08,120
Speaker 1: you expect to change when that happens. Well, our old

1262
01:04:08,120 --> 01:04:09,720
Speaker 1: line's going to be able to get their hands on

1263
01:04:09,760 --> 01:04:13,320
Speaker 1: these defensive guys and that's always a plus for us.

1264
01:04:13,400 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's going to slow them down a little bit.

1265
01:04:16,520 --> 01:04:18,760
Speaker 1: But in terms of body language, I think that's when

1266
01:04:18,760 --> 01:04:21,000
Speaker 1: you got to really get a fuel for your receivers.

1267
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 1: And some of these options and these jukes and these

1268
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:27,000
Speaker 1: different route combinations that we have. I think guys move

1269
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:29,160
Speaker 1: a little bit different. Some guys move faster, believe it

1270
01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:31,400
Speaker 1: or not, some guys move a little slower. So about

1271
01:04:31,400 --> 01:04:34,000
Speaker 1: finding that timing and that rhythm and then just kind

1272
01:04:34,040 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 1: of going with what you trust. There is a rumor

1273
01:04:37,960 --> 01:04:40,760
Speaker 1: going around because after your Turkey Burder comment, people are

1274
01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:42,760
Speaker 1: trying to get to the bottom of what makes them

1275
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:46,280
Speaker 1: so special. Now, this is only a rumor, but it was.

1276
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:48,720
Speaker 1: It was pretty blasphemous one, and it may affect some

1277
01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:51,280
Speaker 1: of the dbs who are worried about body fat percentage.

1278
01:04:51,800 --> 01:04:53,959
Speaker 1: There is a rumor that what makes them so good

1279
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:58,760
Speaker 1: is they brush on melted butter. Now I don't know

1280
01:04:58,800 --> 01:05:00,720
Speaker 1: if that's true. I don't know if it's not true,

1281
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,880
Speaker 1: But even if it is, I don't think it would

1282
01:05:02,880 --> 01:05:05,520
Speaker 1: stop you. We do not care. Yeah, some of those

1283
01:05:05,560 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 1: body fat percentage guys may want to think twice about

1284
01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,320
Speaker 1: doubling up on the patties. Though I don't know they're good.

1285
01:05:10,680 --> 01:05:12,800
Speaker 1: I think I had one convinced me, so I had one.

1286
01:05:12,840 --> 01:05:15,320
Speaker 1: I think part of it, part of the reason that

1287
01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: they're so good, as we know, we can't get them

1288
01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:19,760
Speaker 1: anywhere else but camp. So we're trying to stop. Yeah,

1289
01:05:19,760 --> 01:05:22,640
Speaker 1: we're trying to stock up. It's it's like going into hibernation, right,

1290
01:05:22,680 --> 01:05:24,960
Speaker 1: we're just trying to stock up as much turkey turkey

1291
01:05:24,960 --> 01:05:26,960

Speaker 1: Here on day four of training camp. Gabe Davis was

1316
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:58,840

1317
01:06:58,920 --> 01:07:01,120
Speaker 1: had two touchdowns later and practice, made a few other

1318
01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:05,439
Speaker 1: plays as well, and showed off his strength in one

1319
01:07:05,480 --> 01:07:08,840
Speaker 1: on one wide receiver and defensive back drill Steve. Gabe

1320
01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:13,000
Speaker 1: Davis addressed the media after practice. Here are his comments

1321
01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:15,800
Speaker 1: on how today went and how camp has gone in general.

1322
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:20,080
Speaker 1: Gabriel officially Gabe, yeah, I guess I don't know. My

1323
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 1: Brandon people said, oh, it'd be easier to be gave Mike, whatever,

1324
01:07:24,320 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 1: just do whatever you want. I don't care. Yeah, No,

1325
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't care. It's whatever. Gabe, Gabriel. I'd rather have

1326
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:33,240
Speaker 1: most people call me Gabe. My mom calls me Gabriel.

1327
01:07:33,280 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 1: But that's like he needs something bad. We called Gabriel. Yeah, exactly, Gabe,

1328
01:07:39,400 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 1: exactly exactly. I mean it seems like change in preferring

1329
01:07:44,800 --> 01:07:47,600
Speaker 1: you by a different game, suously just part of this

1330
01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 1: transition for you that it seems like even people outside

1331
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 1: of who covered the bills who to be elevating you

1332
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,480
Speaker 1: into this, this next level after what happened in Kansas City,

1333
01:07:56,920 --> 01:07:59,280
Speaker 1: how where are you of that? And then how has

1334
01:07:59,280 --> 01:08:02,040
Speaker 1: it been handled? Um? Ever since I came to lead.

1335
01:08:02,080 --> 01:08:04,520
Speaker 1: That's the mindset I always had, is um, just no

1336
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,280
Speaker 1: matter what position, I'm gonna be able to execute at

1337
01:08:06,280 --> 01:08:07,920
Speaker 1: a high level. And now I'll have a little bit

1338
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:10,200
Speaker 1: more opportunity to do that. And I feel like it's

1339
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:13,000
Speaker 1: gonna be a fun and good year for all of us. UM.

1340
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:14,920
Speaker 1: I feel we got the right pieces of the puzzle

1341
01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 1: to do what we want to do this year, and

1342
01:08:17,720 --> 01:08:19,760
Speaker 1: UM when it comes to just us as a team

1343
01:08:19,800 --> 01:08:22,600
Speaker 1: as a whole, it's gonna be real special. Braded to

1344
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 1: say in the radio, he doesn't think you took any

1345
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:26,880
Speaker 1: days off in the off season, is that true? And

1346
01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: then what was the thinking behind however much weight, how

1347
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:33,560
Speaker 1: much weight you can put on and having one last Yeah, no,

1348
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:36,439
Speaker 1: I mean um again when it yeah, I mean when

1349
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:39,640
Speaker 1: it came to the work wise, no vacations, nothing like that,

1350
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:41,800
Speaker 1: just straight work. You know, it's a big season this year.

1351
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:43,679
Speaker 1: I know how important it is to everybody in the room,

1352
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:45,280
Speaker 1: and I want to be able to have those guys

1353
01:08:45,320 --> 01:08:46,519
Speaker 1: to be able to trust me. So I know I

1354
01:08:46,560 --> 01:08:48,320
Speaker 1: have to be confident and to get my confidence up

1355
01:08:48,360 --> 01:08:52,120
Speaker 1: as being able to train ut you know, at the

1356
01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,120
Speaker 1: best that I can and as many times as I can,

1357
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:58,360
Speaker 1: you know, being smart obviously. Um. And what was the

1358
01:08:58,400 --> 01:09:01,760
Speaker 1: other question? Oh no, yeah, he last I played around

1359
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,800
Speaker 1: like two twenty three, twenty five. I waited into like

1360
01:09:04,800 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 1: two twenty eight, So people, I think people, yeah, because

1361
01:09:07,920 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 1: they had stuff. Yeah, they had stuff that I was

1362
01:09:11,400 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 1: like two ten, but I was like two ten, like

1363
01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:15,920
Speaker 1: you know, way back. So it's like it was just

1364
01:09:16,560 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 1: they just had the numbers wrong with all the positions

1365
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:23,240
Speaker 1: that they had. They had. You played in a rookie season,

1366
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,760
Speaker 1: and then the report that you built with Josh. You know,

1367
01:09:26,800 --> 01:09:28,479
Speaker 1: we saw it in the indie game and of course

1368
01:09:28,520 --> 01:09:30,760
Speaker 1: in the case he game. How much do you think

1369
01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:34,519
Speaker 1: that has helped you prepare for this moment where they've

1370
01:09:34,560 --> 01:09:38,240
Speaker 1: got you spotted? You know that that spot? Yeah, it

1371
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:40,479
Speaker 1: definitely helps me know everything that's going on around the

1372
01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,840
Speaker 1: field and know what everybody has going on, so I

1373
01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 1: can know what best I can do to get open

1374
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:47,040
Speaker 1: as well. Um, so I feel like that really helped

1375
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,400
Speaker 1: me out just knowing the whole scheme and what's going

1376
01:09:49,400 --> 01:09:52,040
Speaker 1: on around me. The report that you built with Josh

1377
01:09:52,120 --> 01:09:56,160
Speaker 1: should really be comfortable with you get go on. Yeah, again,

1378
01:09:56,160 --> 01:09:58,080
Speaker 1: we're happy being able to play all those different positions

1379
01:09:58,080 --> 01:10:01,360
Speaker 1: and being different situations U him being able to me

1380
01:10:01,400 --> 01:10:03,720
Speaker 1: and him be able to make plays in those different situations.

1381
01:10:03,720 --> 01:10:05,599
Speaker 1: He knows that I can play all across the field,

1382
01:10:05,720 --> 01:10:07,680
Speaker 1: so no matter where I'm at, he's comfortable wherever I

1383
01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,160
Speaker 1: am able to you know, make the most of the

1384
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:12,760
Speaker 1: opportunities that you've been given. But you know it might

1385
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 1: be slightly different this year where week in week out

1386
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 1: you're going to be relied upon and called upon. So

1387
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: how do you how do you view that challenge? Do

1388
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 1: you view it any differently than maybe your previous roles. Um,

1389
01:10:24,400 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 1: obviously it will be different. I'll begin a lot more

1390
01:10:26,360 --> 01:10:30,599
Speaker 1: snaps than I I'm used to. UM, But again, I've

1391
01:10:30,600 --> 01:10:33,559
Speaker 1: trained for it. I've been working really hard for this

1392
01:10:33,600 --> 01:10:35,680
Speaker 1: moment and excited to be able to go out there

1393
01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:38,560
Speaker 1: and have the opportunity to do well. Also set on

1394
01:10:38,600 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 1: the radio that in addition to saying you didn't take

1395
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: any days off, if that might quite be his only

1396
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 1: criticism of you. So how do you guard against that?

1397
01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:49,880
Speaker 1: Over exerting yourself, overworking yourself, maybe doing too much because

1398
01:10:50,280 --> 01:10:51,960
Speaker 1: you know there there does need to be a break

1399
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Speaker 1: in there somewhere too. So how do you how do

1400
01:10:54,080 --> 01:10:55,640
Speaker 1: you how do you view that? I guess if you

1401
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:59,080
Speaker 1: want to call it criticism over here, Um, I mean,

1402
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:01,559
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just feel like when it came

1403
01:11:01,560 --> 01:11:03,360
Speaker 1: to me, I feel like there was always more work

1404
01:11:03,400 --> 01:11:06,000
Speaker 1: that needed to be put in. Obviously, I wasn't in

1405
01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,000
Speaker 1: the best position for myself that I wanted to be

1406
01:11:09,040 --> 01:11:12,280
Speaker 1: in when I first got into the NFL, and I

1407
01:11:12,320 --> 01:11:13,880
Speaker 1: mean even when I got into college, I feel like

1408
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:15,400
Speaker 1: it kind of was slow for me as well. So

1409
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:17,599
Speaker 1: being able to make sure I'm prepared to be able

1410
01:11:17,600 --> 01:11:19,680
Speaker 1: to take on this role and be the number two

1411
01:11:19,720 --> 01:11:22,240
Speaker 1: guy that people are expecting me to be. What way

1412
01:11:22,320 --> 01:11:24,479
Speaker 1: do you feel you were working in the best position

1413
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:27,880
Speaker 1: when you've got in it just where you were drafting

1414
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of No, No, I mean I feel like, yeah,

1415
01:11:30,800 --> 01:11:32,840
Speaker 1: I know when it came to the guys who were

1416
01:11:32,840 --> 01:11:35,000
Speaker 1: around the team that I'm on and what we had

1417
01:11:35,080 --> 01:11:37,960
Speaker 1: going on. I mean, I was one of the lucky

1418
01:11:38,040 --> 01:11:40,000
Speaker 1: rookies to be able to be on such a great

1419
01:11:40,000 --> 01:11:42,880
Speaker 1: team with great people, great coaches and everybody around me.

1420
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 1: But I know that at the end of the day,

1421
01:11:45,360 --> 01:11:47,920
Speaker 1: all of us as men want to be at the

1422
01:11:47,960 --> 01:11:50,720
Speaker 1: top of this game, and when we're hit with the

1423
01:11:50,760 --> 01:11:54,200
Speaker 1: obsacle to not be playing as much as we would want,

1424
01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:56,400
Speaker 1: you know, everybody has felt that out there on that field.

1425
01:11:56,680 --> 01:11:58,439
Speaker 1: And so what I was what I mean by that

1426
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:01,160
Speaker 1: was just having more of the opportunity and then now

1427
01:12:01,360 --> 01:12:02,640
Speaker 1: having the opportunity to be be able to do and be

1428
01:12:02,640 --> 01:12:06,120
Speaker 1: able to execute at a high levels. That could have

1429
01:12:06,200 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 1: been different, that could have been easier. UM. I feel

1430
01:12:08,880 --> 01:12:10,800
Speaker 1: like patients the key in this game. UM. It taught

1431
01:12:10,840 --> 01:12:12,400
Speaker 1: me a lot these past two years. I've learned how

1432
01:12:12,439 --> 01:12:15,920
Speaker 1: to have it. UM. The time that I had to

1433
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,519
Speaker 1: you know, sit back and watch. I learned from a

1434
01:12:17,560 --> 01:12:19,960
Speaker 1: lot of great players. Um. We got a track record

1435
01:12:19,960 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 1: here at the Bills for the past two years of

1436
01:12:21,200 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 1: how many guys I've had to watch in front of

1437
01:12:22,760 --> 01:12:24,680
Speaker 1: me that's been doing it for you know, years and

1438
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 1: years and years. So being able to learn from them

1439
01:12:27,479 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 1: and now being able to tack I'm much more prepared

1440
01:12:29,800 --> 01:12:33,080
Speaker 1: I am now than I was two years ago. Vial

1441
01:12:33,160 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 1: expectations for this season just to win, just be able

1442
01:12:37,400 --> 01:12:39,519
Speaker 1: to have my team when they depend on me to

1443
01:12:39,560 --> 01:12:41,559
Speaker 1: make a play that I can make it. Um, and

1444
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:43,400
Speaker 1: be able to be a team player and be there

1445
01:12:43,439 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 1: for my guys and whatever they need me to do,

1446
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:50,599
Speaker 1: I can do it. Pressure talk about having the patience

1447
01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:55,479
Speaker 1: almost ter knowing this year they're being put more in

1448
01:12:55,520 --> 01:13:01,080
Speaker 1: the focus of starting the top receiver. Yeah, it feels

1449
01:13:01,080 --> 01:13:02,960
Speaker 1: good to know that the work that I put in

1450
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:05,719
Speaker 1: is finally coming to light and I get the opportunity

1451
01:13:05,720 --> 01:13:08,800
Speaker 1: to showcase everything I've been doing. Now. Don't feel like

1452
01:13:08,800 --> 01:13:10,920
Speaker 1: you're on the flip side about patience where you'll talk

1453
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:14,679
Speaker 1: to rookies about it of you know, you're not obviously

1454
01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,080
Speaker 1: a little bit you're a little bit older. Do you

1455
01:13:16,080 --> 01:13:17,720
Speaker 1: start to take them under your wing a bit more

1456
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 1: than in the past. Yeah. Again, you try to chease

1457
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:21,320
Speaker 1: the guys that are just coming in the things that

1458
01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:23,360
Speaker 1: you've been through and what you struggle with, and let

1459
01:13:23,360 --> 01:13:25,960
Speaker 1: them know that if there's similar situations that they're in

1460
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,040
Speaker 1: to know that, you know, they just have to be patient,

1461
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,040
Speaker 1: keep working, and ultimately, you know, just wait for the

1462
01:13:31,120 --> 01:13:37,040
Speaker 1: opportunity to come. Um, it's been good. We got a

1463
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:38,960
Speaker 1: lot of great guys that we brought in. UM, A

1475
01:14:07,280 --> 01:14:11,080
Speaker 1: opportunities for yourself in so many different situations and different positions.

Speaker 1: I mean a receiver. Receiver connots for more than that. Um.

1477
01:14:14,320 --> 01:14:17,280
Speaker 1: There can be games where UM, one way isn't working

1478
01:14:17,320 --> 01:14:18,760
Speaker 1: for you might have to switch it up and find

1479
01:14:18,800 --> 01:14:21,200
Speaker 1: something else to do. And you know with a guy

1480
01:14:21,240 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 1: like Doors, so put us in those situations to make

1481
01:14:23,080 --> 01:14:27,599

01:14:33,840 --> 01:14:36,240
Speaker 1: We know important this year is to us and when

1486
01:14:36,240 --> 01:14:38,120
Speaker 1: it comes to competing and going out there and winning,

1487
01:14:38,360 --> 01:14:40,320
Speaker 1: both sides want to do it. And we got to

1488
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,280
Speaker 1: go out there and um compete with the chair every

1489
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 1: single day and it's been a lot of fun. We

1490
01:14:44,080 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 1: can't get anybody, I'm sorry. We can't get anybody to

1491
01:14:48,320 --> 01:14:51,120
Speaker 1: tell us anything you're not doing well. Even Chad Hall

1492
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,920
Speaker 1: we talk to them. So if you're critiquing yourself like

1493
01:14:54,080 --> 01:14:58,479
Speaker 1: he's saying a lot of positive things, Derman, everybody Dorsy,

1494
01:14:59,040 --> 01:15:04,800
Speaker 1: So what don't you do well? UM, I mean I'm

1495
01:15:04,840 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: not I'm not the you know, best receiver in the NFL.

1496
01:15:07,600 --> 01:15:09,960
Speaker 1: So again, I mean you can talk about everything. I

1497
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 1: mean I gotta work on route running, getting out press coverage,

1498
01:15:12,280 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 1: working on off coverage. Learning coverage is knowing where to be,

1499
01:15:15,160 --> 01:15:17,120
Speaker 1: being a different positions, knowing the playbook better. I mean,

1500
01:15:17,120 --> 01:15:18,519
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things that I can do better,

1501
01:15:18,920 --> 01:15:20,720
Speaker 1: um in this game to you know, be the best

1502
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:24,720
Speaker 1: that I can be. My name hasn't really you know,

1503
01:15:24,840 --> 01:15:26,800
Speaker 1: ring any bells or anything yet, so I have to

1504
01:15:26,800 --> 01:15:29,000
Speaker 1: still get keep pushing and keep working to get to

1505
01:15:29,040 --> 01:15:32,519
Speaker 1: that point when they're encouraging about your progress. Does that

1506
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 1: drive come to work from you in terms of saying

1507
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:39,280
Speaker 1: coaches are happy with what you're doing, but you're looking

1508
01:15:39,320 --> 01:15:42,800
Speaker 1: for more, right of course? Yeah, being relentless and never

1509
01:15:42,840 --> 01:15:45,920
Speaker 1: being satisfied with what you have. UM, knowing that there's

1510
01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:47,960
Speaker 1: always more to come and there's an opportunity to make

1511
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,320
Speaker 1: it happen. And just know your best players your last

1512
01:15:50,320 --> 01:15:53,240
Speaker 1: play So just have to keep that in mind. The

1513
01:15:53,320 --> 01:15:55,800
Speaker 1: game really got going today. What did you see out

1514
01:15:55,840 --> 01:15:57,840
Speaker 1: there that allow you guys to drive the way you

1515
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:01,600
Speaker 1: do today? Um? Just working together, communicating and knowing what

1516
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:03,880
Speaker 1: needs to be done. We had a bad day, yet

1517
01:16:03,960 --> 01:16:05,960
Speaker 1: not a bad day. We were just kind of off yesterday.

1518
01:16:06,640 --> 01:16:08,160
Speaker 1: So being able to come out here and compete, make

1519
01:16:08,200 --> 01:16:10,080
Speaker 1: a lot of big plays, as you guys saw, Um,

1520
01:16:10,200 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 1: that's what we need. Whenever we're down. We got to

1521
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 1: be able to come back and push forward. And that's

1522
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:16,960
Speaker 1: what we did here. Anything in particular that you guys

1523
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,280
Speaker 1: felt like was off yesterday, you know when you went

1524
01:16:19,320 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 1: back after practice with anything specific, was just kind of

1525
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:25,280
Speaker 1: a combination nothing really. I mean, that's football. You're not

1526
01:16:25,320 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 1: gonna have perfect days every day. So we just go

1527
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,040
Speaker 1: out there ready to compete. You know, mistakes will happen,

1528
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,479
Speaker 1: and you got to be able to push those aside

1529
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:36,200
Speaker 1: and move on. Learn more on those days. Stuff. The

1530
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:38,880
Speaker 1: days when everything isn't clicking like yesterday, may they compared

1531
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:43,920
Speaker 1: to today. Um, I feel like you learn from both.

1532
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 1: So I feel like once you have the mistakes, that

1533
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,080
Speaker 1: you come back and you correct them and show them

1534
01:16:47,080 --> 01:16:49,280
Speaker 1: how good you can be and how you're able to

1535
01:16:49,720 --> 01:16:52,000
Speaker 1: push those aside and keep pushing. I feel like that

1536
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:53,240
Speaker 1: shows you what kind of team you can be, and

1537
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:56,040
Speaker 1: you gotta remember that's the standard every day. A function

1538
01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,640
Speaker 1: on them. I mean, you are dealing with a new coordinator,

1539
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,240
Speaker 1: right and it's large to the same offense, but there's

1540
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 1: some new twist. Maybe some of what fans are seeing

1541
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,080
Speaker 1: is the lack of a better from growing pains associated

1542
01:17:07,120 --> 01:17:08,960
Speaker 1: with that is that at least part of it. I mean,

1543
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,840
Speaker 1: we haven't been together. I mean we really haven't been

1544
01:17:10,880 --> 01:17:13,280
Speaker 1: doing stuff like this for a couple of months now, right,

1545
01:17:13,360 --> 01:17:15,280
Speaker 1: So I feel like it's just us getting back in

1546
01:17:15,320 --> 01:17:17,360
Speaker 1: the group of things and getting together, And this is

1547
01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,160
Speaker 1: what camp's about for Trial and Aaron. Then when the

1548
01:17:19,200 --> 01:17:24,240
Speaker 1: season starts, you're policing, ready to go, see up playing

1549
01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:27,160
Speaker 1: in those high pressure games that help keep your foundation

1550
01:17:27,200 --> 01:17:29,840
Speaker 1: for for this next level. Oh of course, Yeah. I

1551
01:17:29,880 --> 01:17:33,040
Speaker 1: feel like, um, you seef, really, you know, kind of

1552
01:17:33,040 --> 01:17:34,760
Speaker 1: showed me what what receiver I wanted to be and

1553
01:17:34,760 --> 01:17:37,840
Speaker 1: who I wanted to be and what I could do. Um.

1554
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:39,800
Speaker 1: And I love the people that I was around, you said,

1555
01:17:39,800 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 1: if again, I was surrounded by a lot of great men,

1556
01:17:41,400 --> 01:17:42,760
Speaker 1: a lot of great players that put me in the

1557
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:45,320
Speaker 1: right position. Um. And I feel like that kind of

1558
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:49,000
Speaker 1: again showed me, um and transition me to be able

1559
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:51,599
Speaker 1: to play in the NFL and do so well the

1560
01:17:51,600 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 1: next watch party again. Oh of course, you know, we

1561
01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:57,479
Speaker 1: got to support him. He needs he needs all sport

1562
01:17:57,479 --> 01:18:12,240
Speaker 1: you can get. Yeah, having guys like that to know

1563
01:18:12,280 --> 01:18:15,599
Speaker 1: how the league operates, knows what's expected every single day.

1564
01:18:15,720 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 1: And to be in a situation where he's just now

1565
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:20,080
Speaker 1: coming into a team that with a guy with guys

1566
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,040
Speaker 1: that have been together for a couple of years, and

1567
01:18:22,120 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 1: him being able to fit right in and learn the

1568
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:26,080
Speaker 1: system well and come out here and compete every day

1569
01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:29,120
Speaker 1: shows him what shows you what a true VET receiver

1570
01:18:29,240 --> 01:18:30,680
Speaker 1: is and why he's been in the league as long

1571
01:18:30,680 --> 01:18:38,920
Speaker 1: as he has been. It's been great. Um. I love

1572
01:18:38,960 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 1: when fourteen's on the other side. It gives me a

1573
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:43,320
Speaker 1: gives me confidence when he's out there on the field

1574
01:18:43,360 --> 01:18:45,519
Speaker 1: with me. I can trust him with everything. Uh. He's

1575
01:18:45,520 --> 01:18:47,479
Speaker 1: an alpha and he wants to make plays and wants

1576
01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:48,920
Speaker 1: to win. And that's who you want on the other

1577
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:54,719
Speaker 1: side of you. All right. That's that's Gabe Davis addressing

1578
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:59,800
Speaker 1: the media after practice today. And Steve two twenty eight

1579
01:19:00,360 --> 01:19:02,799
Speaker 1: is what he checked in at when he reported to camp.

1580
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 1: And it doesn't look like there's an ounce of fat

1581
01:19:05,120 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 1: on him. No, he looks he is muscled, box fit. Yeah,

1582
01:19:08,240 --> 01:19:11,599
Speaker 1: he looks he's moving good. Um. You know, every every

1583
01:19:11,600 --> 01:19:14,439
Speaker 1: time a player changes their body composition a little bit

1584
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,760
Speaker 1: um or a significant but you wonder if how it's

1585
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 1: gonna fit, you know, affect their play. Um, he's not

1586
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:22,880
Speaker 1: that different than where he was a year. He say

1587
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:26,360
Speaker 1: he played at what two two twenty three um last year?

1588
01:19:26,479 --> 01:19:28,880
Speaker 1: That five pounds put you pretty close to two thirty though,

1589
01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:30,080
Speaker 1: And that seems to be a little bit of a

1590
01:19:30,160 --> 01:19:33,880
Speaker 1: blind of demarcation, right, I mean two thirties five pounds

1591
01:19:33,360 --> 01:19:37,760
Speaker 1: of most running backs way about two bills or two ten. Yeah,

1592
01:19:37,800 --> 01:19:39,599
Speaker 1: I mean there are obviously bigger ones and smaller ones,

1593
01:19:39,640 --> 01:19:41,720
Speaker 1: but in the league now today it's right around two

1594
01:19:41,840 --> 01:19:43,719
Speaker 1: two or five. Two hundred to two hundred ten pounds

1595
01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 1: is a running back. And Gabe Davis's look at him

1596
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,679
Speaker 1: out here, he doesn't looks the same. It doesn't look

1597
01:19:50,720 --> 01:19:53,040
Speaker 1: two twenty eight, doesn't That would not be my well,

1598
01:19:53,040 --> 01:19:54,840
Speaker 1: he doesn't until you get walk up next to him.

1599
01:19:54,840 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 1: He's still tall. He's thick. Yeah, but you don't get

1600
01:19:57,680 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 1: the idea because the guys he's running around with out there,

1601
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:02,240
Speaker 1: he looks he fits in, So he kind of you

1602
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 1: downgrade everybody's weight because they look at the same. You think, okay,

1603
01:20:05,240 --> 01:20:07,080
Speaker 1: they're normal guys. Don't you walk in and everybody's like

1604
01:20:07,160 --> 01:20:09,639
Speaker 1: two inches taller than you. Really think normal people are,

1605
01:20:10,200 --> 01:20:12,400
Speaker 1: you know, and that puts weight on you when you're

1606
01:20:12,439 --> 01:20:14,439
Speaker 1: that thick and that tall. I'm just impressed with how

1607
01:20:14,479 --> 01:20:16,840
Speaker 1: strong his upper body is now because we were watching

1608
01:20:16,840 --> 01:20:20,080
Speaker 1: those one on one wide receiver dB drills, and I

1609
01:20:20,120 --> 01:20:23,760
Speaker 1: realized that the defenders at a distinct disadvantage because the

1610
01:20:23,800 --> 01:20:26,760
Speaker 1: receiver essentially as the whole field to play with the

1611
01:20:26,880 --> 01:20:30,280
Speaker 1: fine space, which isn't very realistic when there's eleven defenders

1612
01:20:30,280 --> 01:20:32,120
Speaker 1: on the field. Well, we can talk about that in

1613
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,840
Speaker 1: a minute. It's a little different point. But he makes

1614
01:20:36,720 --> 01:20:39,680
Speaker 1: he makes an outside fake and puts his hand in

1615
01:20:39,720 --> 01:20:42,960
Speaker 1: the DB's chest and pushes off and comes inside. And

1616
01:20:43,040 --> 01:20:46,439
Speaker 1: the guy's like into next week, he's got no chance

1617
01:20:46,439 --> 01:20:49,320
Speaker 1: of recovering in time to even get to him to

1618
01:20:49,360 --> 01:20:51,560
Speaker 1: make a tackle, let alone break up the pass. He

1619
01:20:51,960 --> 01:20:54,400
Speaker 1: did that several times today. He didn't he get called

1620
01:20:54,400 --> 01:20:58,160
Speaker 1: for OPI on that or I'll say this, um, he's

1621
01:20:58,200 --> 01:21:01,759
Speaker 1: man the OPI off it pass interference and defensive DPI

1622
01:21:01,840 --> 01:21:05,679
Speaker 1: defensive pass interference. You know they're you know, you don't

1623
01:21:05,680 --> 01:21:09,479
Speaker 1: know until they the officials start showing up next week

1624
01:21:09,479 --> 01:21:13,040
Speaker 1: with the pads on, right, But I'll say this, I've

1625
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:15,559
Speaker 1: I've done a ton in my life with these one

1626
01:21:15,600 --> 01:21:17,439
Speaker 1: on one drills, just like we're watching these guys now,

1627
01:21:18,040 --> 01:21:20,719
Speaker 1: for those of you on MSG, you watch these guys

1628
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:23,400
Speaker 1: do one on one. It's me against you and we're

1629
01:21:23,439 --> 01:21:25,599
Speaker 1: playing football, and I'm gonna try and catch your passion.

1630
01:21:25,600 --> 01:21:29,320
Speaker 1: You're gonna stop me. And you're right. You can't overestimate

1631
01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,200
Speaker 1: or under under sell how important it is to be

1632
01:21:32,200 --> 01:21:35,360
Speaker 1: bigger and bigger and stronger than the other guy when

1633
01:21:35,400 --> 01:21:38,400
Speaker 1: your football's about pushing guys against their will or tackling

1634
01:21:38,439 --> 01:21:41,360
Speaker 1: them against their will, and bigger and stronger guys tend

1635
01:21:41,400 --> 01:21:45,439
Speaker 1: to do better at that. And when you're you know,

1636
01:21:45,520 --> 01:21:48,360
Speaker 1: those phasic corners, they gotta be athletic, they gotta be cut.

1637
01:21:48,360 --> 01:21:49,840
Speaker 1: And that's why you see these guys. You know they

1638
01:21:49,920 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 1: got no body fat. They're athletic, quick and fast, but

1639
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 1: they still got to be strong because guys like Gabe

1640
01:21:56,920 --> 01:21:58,639
Speaker 1: Davis ragged on them a little bit and it gives

1641
01:21:58,640 --> 01:22:02,439
Speaker 1: them an advantage. It's Gabe Davis is a matchup problem

1642
01:22:02,880 --> 01:22:06,840
Speaker 1: because he's big and physical. That's what you know. They Quintessentially,

1643
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:09,840
Speaker 1: these receivers are the bigger and stronger and faster you are.

1644
01:22:09,840 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: As a wide out, the bigger problem you are. And

1645
01:22:12,360 --> 01:22:15,160
Speaker 1: Gabe Davis has made himself into a little bit of

1646
01:22:15,200 --> 01:22:16,840
Speaker 1: a bigger problem over the last year and a half.

1647
01:22:16,880 --> 01:22:19,800
Speaker 1: And I think he has deceptive speed. He is by

1648
01:22:19,840 --> 01:22:22,720
Speaker 1: no means a burner, But I mean, this is a

1649
01:22:22,760 --> 01:22:25,200
Speaker 1: guy that led this team in receiving average each of

1650
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:28,120
Speaker 1: the last two years over sixteen yards a catch. He's

1651
01:22:28,200 --> 01:22:32,400
Speaker 1: getting behind defenses somehow, some way. I wonder if they

1652
01:22:32,439 --> 01:22:37,080
Speaker 1: look at his size and almost underestimate his escapability. You know,

1653
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:39,280
Speaker 1: at the top of a round, there's no question he

1654
01:22:39,320 --> 01:22:41,360
Speaker 1: gets some benefit for being the number two. And with

1655
01:22:41,439 --> 01:22:44,200
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs on the other side, they're not gonna double

1656
01:22:44,720 --> 01:22:46,679
Speaker 1: six guys. You can only double on one or two.

1657
01:22:47,920 --> 01:22:51,240
Speaker 1: And Josh whose credit, finds the single guy and throws

1658
01:22:51,240 --> 01:22:54,519
Speaker 1: it to him. We've we've been sitting here watching Kayer

1659
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:59,000
Speaker 1: Elam and Steph Diggs jawed each other and the second Yeah,

1660
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:01,920
Speaker 1: and I was gonna do that because if I'm Kayer

1661
01:23:02,000 --> 01:23:03,840
Speaker 1: Elam and I'm and I end up in a one

1662
01:23:03,880 --> 01:23:05,920
Speaker 1: on one or whatever, matched up against Steph Diggs, it

1663
01:23:05,960 --> 01:23:09,439
Speaker 1: just goes for any of the dbs. I'm just you know,

1664
01:23:09,439 --> 01:23:12,600
Speaker 1: you're not catching a pass against me, and I'm you know,

1665
01:23:12,920 --> 01:23:15,679
Speaker 1: grabbing and I'm holding you know, I'm doing all this stuff.

1666
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,000
Speaker 1: You're not gonna catch a pass, and and and Steph

1667
01:23:19,040 --> 01:23:20,559
Speaker 1: will get in your face that you got quit holding

1668
01:23:20,560 --> 01:23:22,280
Speaker 1: me that listen, I'll quit holding you when they start

1669
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:24,200
Speaker 1: calling it. There ain't no officials out here, so you

1670
01:23:24,240 --> 01:23:27,240
Speaker 1: ain't catching a pass. And let's go. That was That

1671
01:23:27,320 --> 01:23:30,800
Speaker 1: was it. That was Steve's interpretation of the face mask

1672
01:23:30,920 --> 01:23:35,639
Speaker 1: to face mask heated conversation between Diggs and Elam near

1673
01:23:35,680 --> 01:23:38,920
Speaker 1: the start of practice during those one on one why

1674
01:23:39,120 --> 01:23:42,200
Speaker 1: later on dB drills, Nick McLeod came over and said, hey,

1675
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:45,000
Speaker 1: let's let's simmer a little bit. Boys, let's simmer, and

1676
01:23:45,000 --> 01:23:47,160
Speaker 1: they were yeah, And then I mean they weren't ready

1677
01:23:47,160 --> 01:23:49,080
Speaker 1: to come to blows. But I'll say this too. Later

1678
01:23:49,080 --> 01:23:52,800
Speaker 1: on it was heated. U Kaier has boxing gloves on. Well,

1679
01:23:52,800 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: that was the thing I was going to literally he

1680
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,080
Speaker 1: literally they put they put boxing gloves on the defensive

1681
01:23:57,080 --> 01:23:58,880
Speaker 1: bass because you know, if you've seen boxing gloves, those

1682
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:01,519
Speaker 1: those viewers can't do anything, You can't grab anything. So

1683
01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,960
Speaker 1: they put those on to play football with as a

1684
01:24:04,040 --> 01:24:08,479
Speaker 1: defensive back. So it teaches them not to depend on

1685
01:24:08,600 --> 01:24:11,559
Speaker 1: grabbing and using that leverage to pull. So kyer Edam's

1686
01:24:11,560 --> 01:24:14,960
Speaker 1: out there with literally some everlast boxing gloves on during

1687
01:24:15,600 --> 01:24:19,040
Speaker 1: some drills so that he doesn't start to depend on

1688
01:24:19,160 --> 01:24:23,080
Speaker 1: having to hold guys to win reps. And and he's

1689
01:24:23,080 --> 01:24:24,640
Speaker 1: not the only other guys will do it too. And

1690
01:24:24,680 --> 01:24:26,679
Speaker 1: I don't know whether they did that as a like

1691
01:24:27,040 --> 01:24:29,400
Speaker 1: Steph Diggs started complaining or what, but he was the

1692
01:24:29,439 --> 01:24:31,280
Speaker 1: only guy I saw that put the gloves on, and

1693
01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,080
Speaker 1: they only did it for about a series, but I

1694
01:24:34,160 --> 01:24:37,400
Speaker 1: have to believe it was in response to Digsy's comments.

1695
01:24:37,400 --> 01:24:39,320
Speaker 1: And it's like, oh, you don't want me to hold

1696
01:24:39,439 --> 01:24:41,120
Speaker 1: Is this good enough for you? Now I got boxing

1697
01:24:41,160 --> 01:24:44,760
Speaker 1: gloves on, you want to go a couple of one upmanship?

1698
01:24:44,920 --> 01:24:46,960
Speaker 1: But I mean, I can't tell you how many defensive

1699
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:50,680
Speaker 1: back coaches I've heard over the years say, you know,

1700
01:24:50,840 --> 01:24:55,040
Speaker 1: defensive coverage starts with moving your feet, not using your hands. Sure,

1701
01:24:56,400 --> 01:24:59,360
Speaker 1: but and that's what they're trying to preach here, especially, No,

1702
01:24:59,400 --> 01:25:01,559
Speaker 1: it doesn't make it, you know, and at some point

1703
01:25:01,600 --> 01:25:03,120
Speaker 1: in time, you are going to have to use your

1704
01:25:03,479 --> 01:25:05,800
Speaker 1: upper body and I'll say, you know, bump a little

1705
01:25:05,800 --> 01:25:08,040
Speaker 1: at the right time, you know, push the envelope in

1706
01:25:08,120 --> 01:25:10,160
Speaker 1: terms of what's allowable under the rules, and we've talked

1707
01:25:10,160 --> 01:25:12,040
Speaker 1: about it a lot, but things are gonna change here.

1708
01:25:12,040 --> 01:25:13,880
Speaker 1: If you've been out here to watch training camp, you've

1709
01:25:13,920 --> 01:25:16,080
Speaker 1: been watching these guys who's winning and who's losing, and

1710
01:25:16,479 --> 01:25:18,240
Speaker 1: good rap and a bad REP and one guy will

1711
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:19,840
Speaker 1: come in and he'll knock it dead and then the

1712
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:22,439
Speaker 1: next he looks like he's never played football before. I mean,

1713
01:25:22,439 --> 01:25:26,559
Speaker 1: it just happens. It's really going to change when shoulder

1714
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:28,840
Speaker 1: pads go on and they start going full go and

1715
01:25:29,360 --> 01:25:32,160
Speaker 1: the zebras show up, meaning the officials. When they start

1716
01:25:32,240 --> 01:25:34,840
Speaker 1: having officials come in watch practice and say, hey, that's

1717
01:25:34,840 --> 01:25:37,559
Speaker 1: a flag, that's a flag. That's a flag, some guys

1718
01:25:37,640 --> 01:25:40,439
Speaker 1: will start to elevate and other guys will diminish in

1719
01:25:40,479 --> 01:25:43,680
Speaker 1: their ability to play. Well, yeah, they'll shrink from it.

1720
01:25:43,800 --> 01:25:47,000
Speaker 1: When they're in pads and playing physical they get out physical,

1721
01:25:48,040 --> 01:25:51,040
Speaker 1: or two, they can't play without grabbing and holding and

1722
01:25:51,080 --> 01:25:54,680
Speaker 1: pulling and cheating that they get away with in instances

1723
01:25:54,720 --> 01:25:56,439
Speaker 1: like we're seeing out here, you know, in the first

1724
01:25:56,479 --> 01:25:59,120
Speaker 1: four or five six days of practice. So it's all

1725
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:02,120
Speaker 1: gonna change when pads go on. And that's why the

1726
01:26:02,200 --> 01:26:04,800
Speaker 1: early reports for guys any any guy you pick. It

1727
01:26:04,840 --> 01:26:07,960
Speaker 1: could be any player on the roster. You gotta watch

1728
01:26:08,080 --> 01:26:10,040
Speaker 1: now in the second week and leading up to the

1729
01:26:10,040 --> 01:26:13,120
Speaker 1: preseason games. If the guy still stays in the picture

1730
01:26:13,120 --> 01:26:14,880
Speaker 1: and he's still saying, wow, he's still playing good, and

1731
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:16,599
Speaker 1: you know the pad's game on and whow, he's still

1732
01:26:16,800 --> 01:26:19,639
Speaker 1: that's the guy who's got a chance. You'll see other

1733
01:26:19,680 --> 01:26:22,160
Speaker 1: guys when the pads come on and you'll stop hearing

1734
01:26:22,160 --> 01:26:25,400
Speaker 1: their name, and then they kind of disappear, and you

1735
01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,160
Speaker 1: know they end up not being able to make the team,

1736
01:26:27,479 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 1: or when the crap squad. Now you're wondering and you're

1737
01:26:30,400 --> 01:26:32,760
Speaker 1: you're left wondering what happened to the guy and he

1738
01:26:32,840 --> 01:26:34,759
Speaker 1: can't make the same plays he was when the pads

1739
01:26:34,760 --> 01:26:36,960
Speaker 1: were not on because the game got physical. I told

1740
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:39,080
Speaker 1: you his game couldn't change with the change of the

1741
01:26:39,160 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: dynamics on the field. I told you yesterday I was

1742
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:44,519
Speaker 1: a world class seven on seventh player. When the pads

1743
01:26:44,560 --> 01:26:46,240
Speaker 1: went on and they started, you know, it was a

1744
01:26:46,240 --> 01:26:48,040
Speaker 1: different story. It's hard to get on the field, hard

1745
01:26:48,040 --> 01:26:51,160
Speaker 1: to get open with guys when when when it starts

1746
01:26:51,160 --> 01:26:53,120
Speaker 1: to get really physical. And even though the offense had

1747
01:26:53,160 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 1: a good day today, we heard Josh say the same thing.

1748
01:26:56,439 --> 01:26:58,799
Speaker 1: He can't wait for his offensive alignment to get pads

1749
01:26:58,800 --> 01:27:01,400
Speaker 1: on so they can start knocking people around instead of

1750
01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,920
Speaker 1: playing some Patti kick up front there too, they'll get

1751
01:27:03,960 --> 01:27:05,800
Speaker 1: a better well yeah, and they'll get a better feel

1752
01:27:05,840 --> 01:27:07,800
Speaker 1: for how the Protections are looking going into the first

1753
01:27:07,800 --> 01:27:10,200
Speaker 1: preseason game and the like. We have to take a

1754
01:27:10,240 --> 01:27:12,599
Speaker 1: break here. When we come back, we have a very

1755
