00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: This One Bill's Live presented by Calida Health. All Right,

2
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,120
Speaker 1: I hope you're doing well here on this Thursday. Chris Brown,

3
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,520
Speaker 1: Maddy lab here with you on One Bill's Live. Thanks

4
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: for making us part of your afternoon. As we have

5
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:50,519
Speaker 1: what's called getaway Day. This is our last show until

6
00:00:51,080 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: pretty much July seventh. The show, as is the case

7
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:00,080
Speaker 1: every year, goes dark during July fourth week, and and

8
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:04,559
Speaker 1: that begins early, in other words, tomorrow, so we're getting

9
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,919
Speaker 1: an early start. And you know, as we've discussed before

10
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: on the show, this time of year is probably the

11
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: most inactive of NFL weeks for the most part, coming

12
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 1: up next week, and so we try to follow suit

13
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,400
Speaker 1: ourselves and take a break. So we're going to do that,

14
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 1: but then be back July seventh, which is Monday, obviously

15
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: after the fourth of July weekend. I had an interesting

16
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:39,039
Speaker 1: interaction this morning, Matty. I had a medical appointment and

17
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 1: the doctor who I just met was just through conversation

18
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,080
Speaker 1: I found out he was an accomplished soccer player in

19
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 1: his younger days. He's you know, he's from overseas and

20
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: he played in like the first division over there.

21
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:56,360
Speaker 2: Cool.

22
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: Then I find he comes to the States, played college

23
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 1: soccer here on a full scholarship, and then actually got

24
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,120
Speaker 1: an opportunity to try out for the New York Cosmos,

25
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 1: which was a team that I was just a little

26
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: too young to fully understand, Like I was just getting

27
00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 1: into sports as a young kid in the late seventies,

28
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:29,919
Speaker 1: and the Cosmos in New York were huge because they

29
00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: had not only Pele on the team, but they had

30
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: one of the best attacking players in the world, Giorgiocanalia

31
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 1: from Italy. They had Franz Beckenbauer, who was the best

32
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: defender in the world, and they also had Johann Kroi

33
00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 1: for a little while, who is known as the best

34
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:51,519
Speaker 1: player that Holland has ever produced and is largely credited

35
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: with the style of the modern game because of the

36
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: way he and his team played. And this guy was

37
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:58,079
Speaker 1: running around on a field.

38
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 3: With all four of them, and doctor.

39
00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,840
Speaker 1: I almost fell out of my chair, Like it's it's

40
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: one thing to have like stepped on a field and

41
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: like knocked the ball around with Peley.

42
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 3: That's wild.

43
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: And I realized people who were not familiar with like

44
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 1: the professional soccer world and all that stuff and World

45
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Cups back in the seventies and everything, well not know

46
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,160
Speaker 1: those other names, but I almost fell out of my chair,

47
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: Like I was just like, are you serious? But then

48
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: he got accepted to medical school and he just decided

49
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 1: to moved away from all of that.

50
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:34,240
Speaker 3: Whoa.

51
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said why I

52
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:37,000
Speaker 1: looked at him.

53
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,000
Speaker 4: I said, I don't know.

54
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: If I would have been able to do that, if

55
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: I was good enough, you know what I mean, like,

56
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:47,120
Speaker 1: I want to do this now medical school can wait. Like,

57
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 1: I don't know, man, I don't think I could have

58
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: done it. So I was I was a little giddy,

59
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: I like, because I had I had a poster of

60
00:03:57,120 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: Pele on my wall in a Cosmo's uniform, and I

61
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:04,119
Speaker 1: don't know, like it was wild. I was not expecting

62
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: that this morning, and like you just it was like

63
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:07,960
Speaker 1: I got hit over the head with an anvil.

64
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 3: Throws off your day, car.

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:12,920
Speaker 1: I was just like, and he just kept he said Pele.

66
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: So I immediately now I have stopped dead in my tracks.

67
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: Then it just starts rattling off.

68
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: All these names, you know.

69
00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: World famous names, like he was basically on a field

Speaker 1: best soccer players in the world at that time, and

72
00:04:30,440 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: I'm just like, I was speechless.

00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,440

00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: three and then.

97
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 3: Four if the story keeps going.

98
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: I can't. I'm trying to rack my brain to think

99
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 1: of a time where I either came across somebody that

100
00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,239
Speaker 1: famous and then all of a sudden, somebody else shows

101
00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,600
Speaker 1: up and then another person, Like, I can't it is

102
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:06,520
Speaker 1: wrap my head around.

103
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 3: Yeah, it is cool when you run into people through life,

104
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:13,600
Speaker 3: whether it's you know, appointments here, doing something here, and

105
00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,479
Speaker 3: they may work a completely different job, but at a

106
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 3: different point in their lives, they did touch sports in

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:22,239
Speaker 3: some way, and it's it's always cool to uh find

108
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 3: a connection like that and know that there's a million

109
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: people out there who have kind of walked the walk

110
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,560
Speaker 3: that we get to walk with covering a team or

111
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 3: being involved with a team. It's always fun to make

112
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 3: those types of connections.

113
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:38,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a next level interaction. I

114
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:40,800
Speaker 1: was just I walked out of that place. I was

115
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,920
Speaker 1: just like, did that did that just happen? Did he just.

116
00:06:44,160 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 3: Rattle off all the like you wentto the receptionist and

117
00:06:46,720 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 3: you said, can I can I book another appointment for

118
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:51,920
Speaker 3: a month from now, yeah, and then pocket off for

119
00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:52,560
Speaker 3: an hour.

120
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,400
Speaker 1: Plase and then on a much on a much lower level.

121
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 1: I also found out that his college soccer coach ran

122
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:05,960
Speaker 1: a youth soccer camp that I attended when I was

123
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:08,800
Speaker 1: like six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven and twelve.

124
00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 3: That's crazy. So it was just worlds colliding.

125
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,840
Speaker 1: Yeah, like we always talk about, Buffalo is never six

126
00:07:14,880 --> 00:07:18,320
Speaker 1: degrees of separation. It's more like two. But that was

127
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: like a that was like an end around to a connection.

128
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know, it was just I thought I

129
00:07:24,440 --> 00:07:26,240
Speaker 1: was in the twilight zone for a while. I was

130
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:29,720
Speaker 1: I needed to sit in my car after I left

131
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,680
Speaker 1: and just say did that? Did that?

132
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:31,960
Speaker 5: Just?

133
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,760
Speaker 1: I was. I was stupefied. I could not believe it.

134
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,240
Speaker 1: Just a really really cool thing. And I didn't meet

135
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: any of those people, but just hearing about them, Yeah,

136
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: just because it's it's my like I was right back

00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,320
Speaker 1: your most pressing bills and NFL questions. So if you

161
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,160
Speaker 1: have any fire away at eight h three oh five

162
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:56,439
Speaker 1: fifty one, eight of eight five fifty two, five fifty

163
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: those are the numbers to join us, and we do

164
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 1: have open lines for you right now. If you don't

165
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: have time to do that, you can always send your

166
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: question in on the tweetsheet or x whatever you call

167
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 1: the app. Now at one bills live, and I know

168
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,199
Speaker 1: we were getting hit with some earlier today when we

169
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: put the tweet out to encourage those questions. So we'll

170
00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: get to those in due time. As is usual this

171
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 1: time in the show, though, we are going to go

172
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: around the NFL, and there is news out of Cincinnati.

173
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: The Hamilton County Commissioners have announced an agreement on a

174
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: new stadium lease with the Cincinnati Bengals that happened this morning.

175
00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 1: The deal ends months of negotiations and some not so

176
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: nice comments and fingers being pointed between the two sides,

177
00:09:43,400 --> 00:09:45,680
Speaker 1: but it will keep the Bengals playing at pay Court

178
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: Stadium through at least twenty thirty six, so the Hamilton

179
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 1: County Commissioner Administrator Jeff Aluado said, to be clear, it's

180
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 1: not perfect, but as often as the case in tough negotiations,

181
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: no one leaves the table thinking they got the perfect deal.

182
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:03,600
Speaker 1: I did think it's a better deal, a smarter deal

183
00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 1: than what was done under the previous lease. So the

184
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:10,959
Speaker 1: agreement comes just four days before the old deadline was

185
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: going to expire on June thirtieth. That one was signed

186
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,720
Speaker 1: back in ninety seven, and although the Bengals could have

187
00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,360
Speaker 1: opted into a two year extension of that old lease.

188
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: They decided to sign this new one. Now, the new

189
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 1: lease apparently reduces the amount of renovations to the stadium.

190
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:33,080
Speaker 1: It was going to be eight hundred and thirty million

191
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,160
Speaker 1: dollars in renovations to pay course stadium. That's been pretty

192
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: much cut in half down to four hundred and seventy million.

193
00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 1: The county foots the bill for three hundred and fifty

194
00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: of that four hundred and seventy and then the Bengals

195
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 1: are on the hook for one hundred and twenty. So

196
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: that's where it all came out in the wash. And look,

197
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: we know the Bengals were like posturing. Do you remember

198
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:58,000
Speaker 1: when they were accusing the Hamilton County and the state

199
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: of Ohio with colluding with the Browns ahead an attorney

200
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 1: that was working both sides day Oh my gosh. But really,

201
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,960
Speaker 1: like if you if you read into the story, you

202
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: know the Bengals are threatening to move to a neighboring

203
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:19,360
Speaker 1: county or somewhere else, and they don't have the financial

204
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,439
Speaker 1: coffers to put the money towards because you'd have to

205
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: build a new stadium if you go to.

206
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 3: The owner's gonna pay a lot more if you do

207
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:26,719
Speaker 3: something like that.

208
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:29,199
Speaker 1: And I mean, they can't even pay a pass rusher

209
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:29,840
Speaker 1: right now, So I.

210
00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 3: Don't see problems.

211
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, and Trey Hendrickson problems, So I didn't see any.

212
00:11:36,040 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 1: Those seemed like hollow threats to me that the Bengals

213
00:11:39,280 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 1: were trying to posture and publicly negotiated. Yeah, that, but

214
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 1: it's done. So that's where they'll be until twenty thirty six,

215
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:51,360
Speaker 1: probably for all intents and purposes. And I wouldn't characterize

216
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:57,319
Speaker 1: it as an old stadium per se. It's a decent stadium.

217
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,160
Speaker 3: How many times have you been.

218
00:12:00,800 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: I have probably been there, Oh, probably half a dozen

219
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: times because it's you know, since we're going since the

220
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 1: late nineties, and that's kind of when I started covering

221
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: the team and they played the Bengals a fair amount. Yeah,

222
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,800
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think of my favorite Bills game there.

223
00:12:16,880 --> 00:12:21,480
Speaker 1: It's probably I think it was. Yeah, it was two

224
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:27,439
Speaker 1: thousand and four, the Christmas Eve game. Terence McGhee had

225
00:12:27,440 --> 00:12:30,720
Speaker 1: a kick return for a touchdown and an interception return

226
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: for a touchdown in the same game. And it was

227
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,679
Speaker 1: a lost season. They weren't going anywhere. I think they

228
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:39,080
Speaker 1: were already had a playoff contention. He had a big game.

229
00:12:39,320 --> 00:12:41,959
Speaker 1: And Jason Peters, who everybody knows as a left tackle

230
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: at that time, was a rookie and he was still

231
00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:50,079
Speaker 1: playing tight end, and they had him on special teams,

232
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: and they lined him up over the long snapper on

233
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: a punt, and back then you could line head up

234
00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: on the long snapper. You can't do that anymore. He

235
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 1: totally obliterates the long step because he's three hundred pounds

236
00:13:04,760 --> 00:13:08,400
Speaker 1: and the long snappers maybe two fifty. So he obliterates

237
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:13,520
Speaker 1: him and gets to the punter, blocks the punt from

238
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,439
Speaker 1: like the twenty yard line. It goes into the end zone,

239
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: and he is the first one that gets to the football,

240
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: so runs and like blows up the long snapper, blocks

241
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,839
Speaker 1: the punt and then is the first guy to get

242
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: the ball. It was a ridiculous play for a human

243
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: that size, and it's one of the main reasons he

244
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:33,800
Speaker 1: played for twenty years in the league and is on

245
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:37,480
Speaker 1: a rocket ship to the Hall of Fame because he

246
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:41,160
Speaker 1: his athletic ability for a man his size is what

247
00:13:41,200 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: we now see big guys do. Like you know, who

248
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,200
Speaker 1: is who is thee what is it? Jordan Davis who

249
00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 1: still ran a sub five forty at like three hundred

250
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: and sixty pounds or something. He was doing that stuff,

251
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 1: you know, twenty five years ago, because I think at

252
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: the combine he was I think it was about two

253
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: eighty five, two ninety and he ran four to eight five,

254
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: which twenty five years ago people are.

255
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: Like never heard of it?

256
00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: What so, yeah that was I would probably, yeah, that

257
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:11,920
Speaker 1: was a good game. And then the Stevie Johnson breakout game,

258
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: why so serious, pulling up the shirt with fits throwing

259
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,320
Speaker 1: him touchdowns and they came from behind and won that game.

260
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 1: Those are probably the two most memorable games for the

261
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 1: Bills in Cincinnati in recent history, I would say, at

262
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:27,200
Speaker 1: least in that stadium, and there'll be a lot more

263
00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: probably in the years to come. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers

264
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: have signed coach Todd Bowles and general manager Jason Light

265
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: to multi year contract extensions. Bucks co chairman Joel Glazer

266
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: said in a statement, Jason and Todd's leadership has been

267
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 1: critical to our organization's success. The winning culture they've established

268
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 1: has us well positioned for the future. The continuity and

269
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,720
Speaker 1: the stability they provide will play a large role in

270
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 1: our ability to compete for additional championships, three season extension

271
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: for Bowls that now runs through twenty twenty eight, fourth

272
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,040
Speaker 1: year as head coach, twenty seven and twenty four record,

273
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,040
Speaker 1: but he has won three straight division titles from twenty

274
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 1: two to twenty four, and that's not nothing. It's funny

275
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:17,720
Speaker 1: because you still get people who criticize coach McDermott sometimes

276
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: and this guy's getting an extension for three straight division titles.

277
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Mcdermot's got five. So I think people kind of lose

278
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,680
Speaker 1: sight of how hard it is to win in the NFL,

279
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,120
Speaker 1: and when you've enjoyed as much success as we have here,

280
00:15:34,120 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: it's it's hard to come by. Yeah, it's hard to

281
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:36,960
Speaker 1: come by.

282
00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:40,120
Speaker 3: The Bucks have drafted some really great players, oh yes,

283
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,680
Speaker 3: last ten years. I mean you think about Mike Evins

284
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 3: and Tristan Wurf's and then there's Antoine Winfield junior, and

285
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:49,120
Speaker 3: then you've got one of the latest Bucky Irving.

286
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:49,640
Speaker 5: Like.

287
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:51,640
Speaker 3: They've hit some home runs on.

288
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,160
Speaker 1: Some of those are draft. Some of their high picks.

289
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: They've done well in the later rounds two and I

290
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,200
Speaker 1: really like their draft. This year. They got Abuca from

291
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 1: Ohio State, who already looks like a stud I know

292
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: our people in the personnel department liked him as well,

293
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: you know, but the draft took them in a different direction,

294
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:13,040
Speaker 1: and the Bucks needed a young receiver because you know,

295
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Godwin's not getting any younger. Evans is like in his

296
00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 1: eleventh season. I want to say, yep, So that was

297
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:21,120
Speaker 1: a nice pick for them and the Bills. We'll see

298
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,160
Speaker 1: them in week eleven, I think it is, or maybe

299
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 1: it's a little bit later than that. What did I

300
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,120
Speaker 1: have week eleven? No, I was right week eleven, So

301
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 1: home game. That'll be an interesting team to see. And

302
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,280
Speaker 1: I remember when Steve and I did a show about

303
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: a month or so ago, or closer to when the

304
00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:40,440
Speaker 1: schedule came out, that was my pick for a game

305
00:16:40,520 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: that's sneaky difficult. Yeah, it's a sneaky harder game than

306
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,480
Speaker 1: I think people realize. And you know, they're three straight

307
00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:50,720
Speaker 1: division titles. Even in what I think we would all

308
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: agree is a watered down NFC South still carries weight.

309
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: The Browns announced eight new hires and seven promotions to

310
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: their front office on Thursday, including Adam al Kayale's promotion

311
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to Director of Player Personnel. The Browns also released pass

312
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: rusher agbo Okoronquo say that five times fast. He signed

313
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 1: a three year, nineteen million dollar deal two years ago.

314
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: He's not going to see the last year of that deal.

315
00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 1: Only seven and a half sacks in thirty games for Cleveland.

316
00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: He's a former fifth round pick of the Raiders, and

317
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 1: he is suddenly a free agent. I can't imagine that

318
00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: agents are thrilled when clubs do this, you know, like

319
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 1: in late June, like you're really strapping, not that the

320
00:17:42,440 --> 00:17:45,280
Speaker 1: organization cares. They have to do their business, and they

321
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:50,560
Speaker 1: just signed a kicker, so maybe they needed some cap

322
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,120
Speaker 1: space and that's why they tossed him overboard. I don't know,

323
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:56,640
Speaker 1: but man, like, if I'm an agent and my guy

324
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: gets clipped at the end of June, it's like, oh, man,

325
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:01,200
Speaker 1: I got to work extra hard in the now take

326
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 1: place to land him for a training.

327
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 3: Camp, and it might be hard to get people on

328
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,400
Speaker 3: the phone over the next few weeks when people are

329
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,400
Speaker 3: taking time off and when the NFL calendar is kind

330
00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:15,520
Speaker 3: of dead. You might not hear much until training camp

331
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:18,080
Speaker 3: actually starts and guys start getting hurts, and your.

332
00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:19,960
Speaker 1: Client's probably in your ear going anything you get to

333
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 1: hold anybody and You're like, no, because nobody's in the office.

334
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: That's just I kind of think about that. Sometimes reports

335
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: continue to be made concerning who is the odds on

336
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,080
Speaker 1: favorite to man the starting quarterback job for the Cleveland Browns.

337
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,479
Speaker 1: NFL Networks Cameron Wolt was going to be on our

338
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: show here in the second hour today reports that it's

339
00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco's job to lose, but did say Kenny Pickett

340
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: will have a chance to steal it from him. Head

341
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 1: coach Kevin Stefanski did say the offense has a high

342
00:18:50,600 --> 00:18:53,800
Speaker 1: floor with Flacco under center, and many believe that's where

343
00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 1: they will start. They will have Flacco get the season

344
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:01,640
Speaker 1: underway and then take it from there and see how

345
00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: it goes. I will say, like Amari Cooper and David

346
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,639
Speaker 1: and Joku were racking up huge numbers when Flacco was

347
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 1: playing for them two years ago. Yeah, now Cooper isn't

348
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:16,280
Speaker 1: there anymore, and you know they have other people. I'm

349
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,840
Speaker 1: going to be interested to see how the Flacco connection

350
00:19:18,920 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 1: with Deontay Johnson goes, since earlier this week, Deontay Johnson said, Yeah,

351
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be Picket. I think that's

352
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:25,200
Speaker 1: who they're going to go with.

353
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:29,480
Speaker 3: So, and what what does Pickett have to do to

354
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:32,720
Speaker 3: show no, this is my job over Joe Flacco. I

355
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,920
Speaker 3: think if it was going to be Kenny Pickett's job

356
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 3: from week one, he would have to have a stellar, stellar, camp,

357
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,880
Speaker 3: because you are taking that job from a veteran who

358
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 3: they have relied on in the past.

359
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,520
Speaker 1: Any one comeback player of the year in the process

360
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: and led them to the playoffs when he had to

361
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,080
Speaker 1: come in for an injured to Shaun Watson. And at

362
00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: tight End University this week, where the league's tight ends

363
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:01,639
Speaker 1: gather for on field work, clinics and some fun, clearly

364
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,920
Speaker 1: they were treated to a performance by a certain tight

365
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: end's girlfriend. Taylor Swift, performed for the tight ends on

366
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: hand Tuesday night. No word if Travis Kelsey invoked the

367
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:15,200
Speaker 1: barter system for all the free games she has attended

368
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,320
Speaker 1: the last couple of years and was he able to

369
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 1: barter a free concert out of her. I don't know.

370
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:20,960
Speaker 1: I don't even know how many songs she played. Do

371
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:21,800
Speaker 1: you have any idea how much?

372
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 3: I have no idea, but I did.

373
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,359
Speaker 1: Guess she went for like a half an hour, probably

374
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:26,520
Speaker 1: maybe forty five minutes.

375
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 3: I did see a tweet that they had another musical

376
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,639
Speaker 3: performer there. I think it was Kane Brown. I'm not

377
00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,960
Speaker 3: a country person, so I'm sorry if that's the wrong name,

378
00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:38,600
Speaker 3: but I believe it was him. And he thought, oh,

379
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 3: I am going to be the special guest for tight

380
00:20:41,440 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: End you weekend, And then Taylor Swift comes out. He's like,

381
00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 3: I am no longer the special's.

382
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:50,120
Speaker 1: Officially been upstaged. Yeah, that's a tough one to beat. Yeah,

383
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: I'm I'm gonna take a backseat to one of the

384
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: most successful musical artists in the last half century, who

385
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 1: off of that last tour loan became a billionaire, which

386
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 1: is just crazy to me. But then, you know, you

387
00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:10,040
Speaker 1: think about the tens of thousands of people at every

388
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: single show and tickets going you know, at a premium

389
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 1: and that's premium with a capital pr e m i um.

390
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,959
Speaker 1: And then the movie on top of it, that is

391
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,520
Speaker 1: the concert. Oh my gosh, whoever her marketing people are

392
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 1: not that they have to work super hard, but you know,

393
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:30,439
Speaker 1: thinking about doing the movie thing for people that couldn't

394
00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 1: go to the concert, that was a really that was

395
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,480
Speaker 1: a stroke of genius, I thought. And then she re

396
00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,440
Speaker 1: recorded all of her music right after it got taken

397
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: away by the music label and she just sold it

398
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 1: on a new label. Very very good business woman for sure,

399
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,320
Speaker 1: and to be super super.

400
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 3: Smart in the crowd at that concert where she played

401
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 3: a couple of songs a couple nights ago. Man, you

402
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 3: gotta feel lucky if you're a Taylor Swift fan. You're

403
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 3: just there for fun and you think you're going to

404
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:00,880
Speaker 3: hear from some other country artists or whoever, and we'll

405
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 3: have cops Taylor Swift.

406
00:22:02,320 --> 00:22:03,960
Speaker 1: We'll have to talk to Dalton and Kate about that,

407
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 1: because he's a I think he called himself a Swifty

408
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: at one point.

409
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 3: Yes, he does like Taylor Swift. Early on in his career,

410
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,119
Speaker 3: I was doing an interview with him. I think it

411
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 3: was his first day in the building when he was

412
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 3: a rookie. I don't know what question it was, maybe

413
00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 3: what's something what's something about you that most people don't know?

414
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,960
Speaker 3: I think he studied he's a Taylor Swift fan.

415
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: So because I'm assuming he's there, because because Dawson lives

416
00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: down there, because they do tight End University in Nashville

417
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:35,479
Speaker 1: every year, So I would presume Dalton's down there and

418
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:37,760
Speaker 1: he for all he's probably you know, in the guest

419
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 1: bedroom at Dawson's house for the week, so I would

420
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 1: assume they're both down there. So we'll have to catch

421
00:22:43,840 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 1: up with Dalton to see what he thought of the

422
00:22:47,200 --> 00:22:52,240
Speaker 1: impromptu performance. Very very lucky for sure, Although if you

423
00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: were gonna think you would happen to catch Taylor Swift somewhere,

424
00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,760
Speaker 1: Nashville is probably a good place, yes to increase your

425
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: odds of that happening, And sure enough there was. So

426
00:23:02,680 --> 00:23:05,399
Speaker 1: that is around the NFL, presented by Kaleida Health, the

427
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,760

434
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,919
Speaker 1: from the obl fan mail bag. Any question you've got

435
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 1: on the Bills, the NFL, what's left in free agency,

436
00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,440
Speaker 1: what we think about draft picks, whatever it is that's

437

Speaker 1: on your mind. Fire away at eight h three zero

440
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,600

Speaker 1: Bills Live and we'll we'll crack that open now, just

442
00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:53,919
Speaker 1: to get the ball rolling.

443
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 6: Here.

444
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:57,199
Speaker 1: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

445
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,679
Speaker 1: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills. Where Connor

446
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: asks who do you think will be the most improved

447
00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 1: player this season? Now, a name immediately popped into my head.

448
00:24:09,480 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see if it's the same one that

449
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:14,400
Speaker 1: popped into your head first, So I will I will

450
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:16,320
Speaker 1: yield the floor to you, Maddy, to see if it

451
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 1: matched up with the answer in my head.

452
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:19,360
Speaker 3: Cold Bishop.

453
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: You went cold Bishop. Okay, that's not where I went.

454
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 3: I think I go col Bishop. Off the top of

455
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,560
Speaker 3: my head. I don't know if I would put him

456
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,560
Speaker 3: in the category of most improved, but that is a

457
00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,640
Speaker 3: player that I think will be improved from last season

458
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,800
Speaker 3: to this season. We all know Cole Bishop's story last

459
00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,880
Speaker 3: year as a rookie who had some hopes for him,

460
00:24:41,880 --> 00:24:45,639
Speaker 3: but suffered an injury throughout the offseason training period and

461
00:24:45,680 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 3: we didn't see much out of him during training camp.

462
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,520
Speaker 3: That kind of sets time back for you as a rookie,

463
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 3: and he only started and I believe it was three games.

464
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 3: Last year, DeMar Hamlin obviously won that safety spot off

465
00:24:58,320 --> 00:25:02,920
Speaker 3: of opposite of Taylor Rapp. But this camp OTA's mandatory

466
00:25:02,960 --> 00:25:07,240
Speaker 3: mini camp, Cole Bishop looks more comfortable in the system.

467
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 3: Bobby Babbage has talked about it. Sean mcdermt has talked

468
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,560
Speaker 3: about it, being proud of the time that he's spent

469
00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: in the building this offseason in the weight room, having

470
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:19,280
Speaker 3: a better understanding for the defense, and feeling like with

471
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,720
Speaker 3: that he can be more of himself as a player.

472
00:25:23,040 --> 00:25:26,960
Speaker 3: So that's somebody I look to that will improve this season.

473
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,199
Speaker 3: I need to think on most improved. Who was that

474
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 3: name for you?

475
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:32,960
Speaker 1: Same draft class, Keon.

476
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 3: Ooh, that's a good one.

477
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just everything we've seen from him through the spring,

478
00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: the comments from his teammates, not the least of which

479
00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:49,119
Speaker 1: came from Josh Allen, there seems to be an extra

480
00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:53,080
Speaker 1: layer of maturity from him with his approach to the game.

481
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:55,480
Speaker 1: I don't think he was an immature player last year

482
00:25:55,520 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: by any stretch of the imagination, but I just feel

483
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 1: like there is a more or serious approach to how

484
00:26:04,359 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: he is doing everything. I think we remember last year,

485
00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: you know, he was a personality and there were times

486
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:15,160
Speaker 1: where you know, and it's okay for players to have

487
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,000
Speaker 1: fun out there on the field. But I think because

488
00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 1: he is so disappointed in how his rookie season went

489
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: and we heard him characterize it as trash, I think

490
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:33,479
Speaker 1: he is all business this year. That's the demeanor that

491
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,440
Speaker 1: he has displayed on the field, and to me, that's

492
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:38,160
Speaker 1: the biggest difference I've seen. There are others he looks

493
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 1: bigger and stronger, especially through the chest and the shoulders.

494
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 1: He's clearly added lean muscle mass there. But I just

495
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: sense this he is all business all the time, Like

496
00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: there is no laughing something off or cracking a joke.

497
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,359
Speaker 1: When he's not in on a play, he is just

498
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,439
Speaker 1: locked in. When it is practice time, he is locked

499
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,240
Speaker 1: in from start to finish, and he is all business.

500
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,680
Speaker 1: So I just think that's going to benefit him and

501
00:27:05,760 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 1: hopefully the passing.

502
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: I think with that, a part of it being all

503
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 3: business and being through one season in the NFL is

504
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 3: he knows what it takes to be a pro. He

505
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,280
Speaker 3: understands what is needed, what is expected out of him,

506
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,360
Speaker 3: and with that, there's a different demeanor about how you

507
00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:27,800
Speaker 3: go about a practice day, how you go about an

508
00:27:27,920 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 3: NFL off season. You're going through it for the second time.

509
00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 3: I go back to something that I talked about before,

510
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:39,119
Speaker 3: is the off season that these rookies have going into

511
00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 3: the NFL. It's like the longest off season ever. It's

512
00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:48,359
Speaker 3: anything but an off season. These guys are training for

513
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,679
Speaker 3: the scouting combine, then they get drafted. Then you go

514
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 3: right into training with your new team and you hit

515
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 3: sure a couple weeks before training camp begins. But you

516
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: even back that up into the bowl season and the

517
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 3: season that you just had. You're on for like almost

518
00:28:05,520 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 3: a year. And I think just rushing into being an

519
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:12,760
Speaker 3: NFL player as a rookie, it takes a certain type

520
00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 3: of rookie to be able to take all of that

521
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 3: on and then go into learning a new playbook, a

522
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:19,879
Speaker 3: new offense, a new defense, whatever that is, and have

523
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 3: success in doing so. I do see more mature Keon Coleman,

524
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,640
Speaker 3: but you don't want to completely go away from who

525
00:28:26,680 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 3: you are as a person. And it's nice to know

526
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,159
Speaker 3: off of the football field, Keon Coleman likes to come

527
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,320
Speaker 3: down to our office and put a lot and that's

528
00:28:34,359 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 3: in between meetings. So he he comes through an office,

529
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 3: hits a couple of balls and makes jokes and it's

530
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 3: still nice to see. Okay, the key on that we

531
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,440
Speaker 3: all fell in love with is still there, but on

532
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 3: the football field, he is a businessman. A couple other

533
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,240
Speaker 3: players who could fall into that category. Off the top

534
00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:54,840
Speaker 3: of my head. Dalton Kincaid could be somebody who is

535
00:28:55,080 --> 00:28:58,040
Speaker 3: very improved this season. I know he showed it his

536
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:01,640
Speaker 3: rookie season, but took a step back in year two.

537
00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:06,000
Speaker 3: We hear Brandon Bean talk about a lot of the times.

538
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:09,800
Speaker 3: Year three is a big year for players to make

539
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:13,800
Speaker 3: a true transition into who you are as an NFL player.

540
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 3: Matt Mulano, somebody who is coming off of an injury. Yes,

541
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 3: he played in the final few games of the season,

542
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:23,280
Speaker 3: but that's not a lot of time to get back

543
00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:26,240
Speaker 3: to feeling like your true self on the field.

544
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think there's a number of candidates you could

545
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: choose from. I think you're looking at year two year

546
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: three players mostly to kind of fit you know most

547
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: and prove where you kind of take that big step

548
00:29:40,520 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 1: and now you're like a major contributor like Shakir last year,

549
00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: for example, in his third year, and there have been

550
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:48,560
Speaker 1: a lot of others. We have to take a break though,

551
00:29:48,600 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 1: because we're up against the clock. But your phone calls

552
00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,920
Speaker 1: will lead us off when we return, Jack and Cheek

553
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 1: to Waga Bett and lead off here in the next

554
00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: segment on One Bill's Live, presented by Cold of Health,

555
00:29:58,760 --> 00:30:15,880

561
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,200
Speaker 1: to Jack in Cheek Towaga. What's up Jack?

562
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,520
Speaker 5: H good afternoon, guys. Uh, my season tickets go back

563
00:30:33,560 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 5: to nineteen sixty and my sons and I just went

564
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:43,240
Speaker 5: through the process of committing to PSLs and new tickets

565
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:47,880
Speaker 5: in the new stadium, and uh, I'm just wondering, and

566
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:51,080
Speaker 5: maybe you guys can use your considerable influence, you know,

567
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 5: tell them that your viewers and your listeners would like

568
00:30:54,720 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 5: to see the bills come out on their website with

569
00:30:58,720 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 5: the virtual views that they supply for the current stadium.

570
00:31:04,440 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 5: For the new stadium. You know, we were able to

571
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:10,000
Speaker 5: see that at the Walker Center during the experience and

572
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 5: they actually gave us the view from our seats there.

573
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,920
Speaker 5: But now that we're signed on the dotted line and

574
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 5: we're going forward with this, you know, we'd like to

575
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 5: be able to go in and take a look and

576
00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 5: have the same facility in the new stadium as we

577
00:31:28,840 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 5: do with the old stadium. We want to see what

578
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:33,920
Speaker 5: the view is like, you know, from our new tickets.

579
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 5: And they don't have that up and running yet, and

580
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,959
Speaker 5: I don't know why, because they've had that mock up

581
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:43,080
Speaker 5: out at the Walker Center for probably a couple of

582
00:31:43,160 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 5: years now and they were able to do that exactly

583
00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:52,720
Speaker 5: show us what our view was while we were still buyers,

584
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 5: and now that we are buyers, you know, I'd just

585
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:59,160
Speaker 5: like to see that carry through to the online bill

586
00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 5: sites of the clicked on new stadium. You clicked on

587
00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:06,200
Speaker 5: your seat location, and they you're able to look at

588
00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 5: it online the way you're able to look at it

589
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 5: during the sales process vacation.

590
00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, thanks, Jack. I don't think that's an unreasonable request,

591
00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,959
Speaker 1: and it's been done by the bills before. I'm just

592
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,480
Speaker 1: gonna throw out a wild guess here as to why

593
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: that is not in place now. It's because you still

594
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:30,480
Speaker 1: have an old the older stadium as the existing stadium

595
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: that they're using.

596
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 3: Now, peoples.

597
00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: And for what's up and online now and active on

598
00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,040
Speaker 1: the site pertains to the stadium we are actually using

599
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:43,120
Speaker 1: this season, which is old Heimark Stadium. And I would

600
00:32:43,160 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 1: imagine in pretty short order that that web page will

601
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: get flipped as soon as our time in this building

602
00:32:55,880 --> 00:32:59,600
Speaker 1: comes to an end, hopefully after an AFC title game

603
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,240
Speaker 1: where we advance to the Super Bowl. Yeah, but I

604
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:07,040
Speaker 1: would anticipate that happening in very short order. And I

605
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:09,640
Speaker 1: and look, I get it. We're all excited about the

606
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 1: new place, and you know, you've got your tickets and

607
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,239
Speaker 1: maybe you want to show your friends. Oh yeah, look

608
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:17,280
Speaker 1: at this. Can you just go online here? This is

609
00:33:17,320 --> 00:33:18,480
Speaker 1: what my view is going to be like in the

610
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 1: new place. And I get the excitement. I totally do.

611
00:33:22,760 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 1: I just think it's a logistical thing as to why

612
00:33:25,560 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 1: it's probably not in place right now. I think it

613
00:33:29,840 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 1: will all come and due time. And you know, far

614
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,520
Speaker 1: be it from me to tell you to be patient.

615
00:33:35,560 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: But that's my guess as to why it's not functional

616
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: and ready for you to utilize.

617
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 3: At this moment, and it's good feedback to maybe something

618
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,000
Speaker 3: that we can bring to our people to see, Hey,

619
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:50,080
Speaker 3: this is something that fans would like. Is are you

620
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 3: able to get it out there? Speaking of the new stadium,

621
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 3: it just made me think of this. It should be

622
00:33:55,560 --> 00:33:58,719
Speaker 3: online by now, because I believe we posted it today.

623
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 3: But Dion Dawkins and Osiris Torrance did a tour of

624
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: the new stadium. Okay, it's like a nine minute YouTube video.

625
00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 3: It is hilarious. Dion Dawkins was in his tip top

626
00:34:12,520 --> 00:34:17,279
Speaker 3: shape form of being himself of the noises that he

627
00:34:17,520 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 3: likes to make. He was hugging every other construction worker

628
00:34:21,400 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 3: telling them thank you for your service, so excited about

629
00:34:26,600 --> 00:34:29,319
Speaker 3: the views and the stadium, saying it's it was the

630
00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 3: coolest thing ever. And they staged it as like hey guys,

631
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 3: Dion Dawkins and Osiris Torrents and we're gonna sneak into

632
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:38,719
Speaker 3: the new stadium. So it's like they're doing this like

633
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 3: sneak in operation where they like run across They're like

634
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:44,160
Speaker 3: nobody's looking, let's get in, and then they get a

635
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: tour of the new stadium. It's so so so so funny.

636
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:49,879
Speaker 1: All right, well, we'll definitely have to check that out,

637
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: but yeah, we can certainly pass the word along and

638
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,480
Speaker 1: we'll try to find out if that's a heavy lift

639
00:34:56,640 --> 00:35:00,399
Speaker 1: or whether that's a lightlift, you know, based on how

640
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:03,880
Speaker 1: the system functions now with the current stadium as opposed

641
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:06,399
Speaker 1: to flipping it over to the new one. Let's get

642
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 1: back to the phones and we go to Butcher on

643
00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:09,239
Speaker 1: the east side. What do you got for us?

644
00:35:09,280 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 6: Butch?

645
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 7: First of all, First of all, it's so good to

646
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 7: talk to my sister from another mister and my brother

647
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,720
Speaker 7: from another mother. The Queen of WGM is Mattie Gapp

648
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,520
Speaker 7: and the voice of the Buffalo Bills Chris Brownie. So

649
00:35:23,600 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 7: all the people out there, I love WG, I love MSG,

650
00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:29,000
Speaker 7: and I love all of you guys, and thanks picking

651
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,120
Speaker 7: my call. I have a couple of things that I

652
00:35:31,160 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 7: really want to tap into, but I think I'm gonna

653
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:36,040
Speaker 7: start off first with something that you guys did was

654
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,520
Speaker 7: very important, not just to me, but it was important

655
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 7: to my community. And I'm gonna piggyback off that with this.

656
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 7: But you guys went over on Walden Avenue when he

657
00:35:46,200 --> 00:35:48,239
Speaker 7: went to Saint Looks Church, and the lady who used

658
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,439
Speaker 7: to run it and passed away was a good friend

659
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,400
Speaker 7: of mine who's a very sweet lady who created the

660
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 7: whole idea a long time ago. And on top of that,

661
00:35:55,960 --> 00:35:58,919
Speaker 7: you had a person that I consider a friend who

662
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:00,680
Speaker 7: used to I used to watch come in her little

663
00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:04,040
Speaker 7: Chevy cruise, her and her and mister Wilson, Miss Mary

664
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,239
Speaker 7: Wilson was with you. I used to watch them come

665
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:08,600
Speaker 7: on twenty eight and two nineteen every day every game.

666
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,880
Speaker 7: They used to pull over and whole conversations with me

667
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:12,880
Speaker 7: all the time, and it was an honor that she

668
00:36:13,040 --> 00:36:14,919
Speaker 7: was there with you. And I just want to flaw

669
00:36:15,040 --> 00:36:18,080
Speaker 7: both of you, and along with the United Organization, everybody

670
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 7: who you work for, along with my good friend who

671
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:24,640
Speaker 7: does marketing there at the Buffalo bills and different resources

672
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,080
Speaker 7: for the players and things to come out. I appreciate

673
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,160
Speaker 7: you for coming on the east side on Walden Avenue

674
00:36:29,200 --> 00:36:30,960
Speaker 7: in Saint Louis Church. I just want to get that

675
00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:33,360
Speaker 7: out the way first. So now I really want to

676
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 7: piggyback off this. I was sitting into my chair, Brownie,

677
00:36:37,200 --> 00:36:38,920
Speaker 7: and I remember you and Chris always talking about your

678
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 7: little guy and work and stuff that you got to

679
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:44,520
Speaker 7: do and you'll sit back figure it out. This is true.

680
00:36:44,560 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 7: This is a true story. Yesterday afternoon, about like about

681
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,040
Speaker 7: five o'clock, I'm sitting in my air reading and I

682
00:36:50,080 --> 00:36:54,400
Speaker 7: hear this big explosion and one of the power lines

683
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,880
Speaker 7: where I was on here on Bailey Avenue just blew up,

684
00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:01,320
Speaker 7: and you know, fire was breaking. You know people are panicking.

685
00:37:01,400 --> 00:37:03,319
Speaker 7: But anyway, the point I want to make to this

686
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:06,319
Speaker 7: is I would like the same charity that you guys do.

687
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 7: Maybe you guys can rally around and get all of

688
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,840
Speaker 7: the workers like the National Grid and the gas company

689
00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 7: and have them on the probably a big nice tailgate

690
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,839
Speaker 7: cookout or whatever they want to do, because a lot

691
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:22,319
Speaker 7: of people really don't know the work that they do,

692
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 7: hands on that they really have to. I actually watched

693
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:28,240
Speaker 7: this from five thirty yesterday at three o'clock this morning

694
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,640
Speaker 7: as they put up two poles in front of my

695
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:33,400
Speaker 7: house and it was just amazing. So I want to

696
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 7: give a shout out to the National Grid and came

697
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 7: yesterday and we appreciate on Bailly app each side for

698
00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:40,839
Speaker 7: what you guys do. But now let me just say

699
00:37:40,880 --> 00:37:42,840
Speaker 7: this and I'm going thanks for taking my call. We

700
00:37:42,960 --> 00:37:45,359
Speaker 7: got two exciting players that is going to be superstars

701
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:48,200
Speaker 7: here along with Terreal Bernard. But the two cats you

702
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 7: guys had on maybe a few weeks ago. I tried

703
00:37:50,120 --> 00:37:52,320
Speaker 7: to get in but I couldn't and that was Duran

704
00:37:52,360 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 7: Winims and that's Javon's album. I'm gonna let you guys know,

705
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,000
Speaker 7: these are going to be two special players that looking

706
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,680
Speaker 7: at a training camp that I'm expecting big things. I'm

707
00:38:00,719 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 7: expecting big things for the season. But anyway, I bush

708
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 7: the east Side. Loved you guys, man, thanks for taking

709
00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:08,440
Speaker 7: my call. Maddy Chris, I love you guys, and you

710
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 7: just take care yourself, enjoy your little time off and

711
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 7: get ready for a training camp.

712
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:16,319
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Buch Yeah, I'll I'll say those are

713
00:38:16,360 --> 00:38:22,920
Speaker 1: two interesting choices. Dorian Williams, is you know in a

714
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't want to say a glass ceiling situation because

715
00:38:25,600 --> 00:38:28,920
Speaker 1: I think it's going to be supremely difficult to unseat

716
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: Matt Mulano. But I've said this a number of times, Maddie.

717
00:38:33,760 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 1: Dorian Williams last year started nine games. I believe it

718
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,640
Speaker 1: was nine starts because Milano, as we know, got the

719
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 1: injury right before the season started with the bicep tear

720
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:48,680
Speaker 1: and you had to start in his place. So I

721
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 1: think it was either nine or eleven starts last year.

722
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,239
Speaker 1: And at the end of the season, even though he

723
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,320
Speaker 1: only made eleven starts, he was still the leading tackler

724
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 1: on the football team. Yes, I mean that speaks volumes

725
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,000
Speaker 1: to me to his playmaking ability and ability to find

726
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:07,279
Speaker 1: the football. And this is behind a defensive line that

727
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:10,080
Speaker 1: is not going to be nearly as good as I

728
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: think the one they have assembled now. And maybe that

729
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:17,880
Speaker 1: makes all the linebackers better, but you could do a

730
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:23,239
Speaker 1: lot worse than Dorian Williams. And look, I'm wondering, is

731
00:39:23,320 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 1: he so good because we hear the coaches say all

732
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 1: the time you want to put your best eleven on

733
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,080
Speaker 1: the field. Is he so good that you decide to

734
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,640
Speaker 1: play a little more base defense and he is your

735
00:39:33,680 --> 00:39:36,840
Speaker 1: third linebacker on the field. I'm not saying that will happen,

736
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 1: but you can't tell me that those coaches haven't sat

737
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 1: in that room and thought, yes, maybe there are situations

738
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:45,560
Speaker 1: where we can get him on the field down in

739
00:39:45,640 --> 00:39:48,399
Speaker 1: distance wise, against a given opponent in a given week,

740
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 1: because he is a ball seeker and a ballfinder, and

741
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: he makes plays and that's difficult, I think to ignore

742
00:39:58,600 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 1: when he makes as many as he does when he

743
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:02,640
Speaker 1: does get a chance to play for you, You want

744
00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:04,759
Speaker 1: to talk about the other guy he mentioned, Solomon. Yeah,

745
00:40:04,760 --> 00:40:06,320
Speaker 1: that's a much different situation.

746
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:10,480
Speaker 3: It is a different situation. But I think with bringing

747
00:40:10,560 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 3: in as many defensive linemen as the Bills brought in

748
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,800
Speaker 3: this offseason through free agency as well as the draft,

749
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:22,279
Speaker 3: you have two younger defensive linemen who are working as

750
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: hard as possible in Javon Solomon and Dwayne Carter. These

751
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:30,160
Speaker 3: are two guys who are entering their second NFL seasons

752
00:40:30,480 --> 00:40:34,080
Speaker 3: and they see, oh, they just added a bunch of

753
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:39,040
Speaker 3: other players to to my position group. I better step

754
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: it up and figure out what I need to do,

755
00:40:43,960 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 3: what the coaches want for me, and do that to

756
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 3: the best of my ability. I think Javon Solomon at

757
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:54,320
Speaker 3: times he had flashes last year, but then at times

758
00:40:54,600 --> 00:40:58,520
Speaker 3: he also showed his youth and how much growing he

759
00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:03,120
Speaker 3: still has left to do. It'll be interesting to see

760
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: what that growing was this offseason leading into training camp.

761
00:41:08,440 --> 00:41:11,840
Speaker 3: Like we talked about yesterday, it is kind of hard

762
00:41:10,680 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: to have a true opinion on the defensive players, especially

763
00:41:16,560 --> 00:41:21,200
Speaker 3: when you're not in pads. So I'm looking forward to

764
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:24,120
Speaker 3: seeing the defense get into pads because then I think

765
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 3: you can really start to see where these guys are

766
00:41:27,120 --> 00:41:29,040
Speaker 3: at in the development.

767
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, because when we had him in studio here on

768
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,759
Speaker 1: the show, Solomon, the number one question I had for

769
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:40,040
Speaker 1: him was, there were about a half a dozen almost

770
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 1: sacks for you last year. What have you pulled off

771
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:47,319
Speaker 1: of that film to make sure this year when you

772
00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:51,080
Speaker 1: get those opportunities, those are sacks and not just a

773
00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 1: quarterback hit or a pressure you you finish the play,

774
00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,560
Speaker 1: so to speak. And it was clear to me and

775
00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:03,400
Speaker 1: his answer that he had done like the own self

776
00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:07,799
Speaker 1: reflection and research on his own game, to have a

777
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:11,600
Speaker 1: plan for how to be better at finishing those plays

778
00:42:11,640 --> 00:42:14,120
Speaker 1: and those opportunities when he got them. Now, I want

779
00:42:14,160 --> 00:42:17,120
Speaker 1: to see him make it happen and put it into practice.

780
00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,680
Speaker 1: So that's what I'm going to be looking for from him,

781
00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:23,000
Speaker 1: maybe more than anything else. We are up against the clock.

802
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:40,839

805
00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:45,520
Speaker 1: do you got for his?

806
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:45,799
Speaker 4: Mark?

807
00:43:46,360 --> 00:43:46,600
Speaker 5: Hey?

808
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 2: Guys, how good afternoon? How are you today?

809
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 1: Good?

810
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:53,799
Speaker 2: Hey? Uh My answer to your question is I looked

811
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,400
Speaker 2: at it as a team thing, especially the way this

812
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:01,040
Speaker 2: team's been built in recent years. Stars but a lot

813
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,960
Speaker 2: of really good players. But I think the most improvement

814
00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,800
Speaker 2: as a whole is going to be on the defense.

815
00:44:07,280 --> 00:44:09,480
Speaker 2: I think this is for me, it's an obvious answer

816
00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:14,879
Speaker 2: because of the youth and the athleticism that Brandon has

817
00:44:14,920 --> 00:44:18,120
Speaker 2: brought in both on the defensive line and in the

818
00:44:18,160 --> 00:44:21,759
Speaker 2: defensive backfield, so as a group, which leads me to

819
00:44:21,800 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 2: my biggest concern of the whole season, which is Game one.

820
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 2: Like I'm sure for a lot of people, we're gonna

821
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:30,799
Speaker 2: be going up against a veteran team with a really

822
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:34,640
Speaker 2: good coaching staff, some really good star players that have

823
00:44:34,719 --> 00:44:37,759
Speaker 2: a huge chip on their shoulder against our team, and

824
00:44:37,800 --> 00:44:40,719
Speaker 2: we're going to have probably a good amount of youth

825
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:43,960
Speaker 2: playing in the defensive side of the ball that hasn't

826
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 2: played together before, and I'm worried a little bit about

827
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 2: the cohesiveness.

828
00:44:48,920 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 7: Now.

829
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: I know Brandon's going to have them ready, but the

830
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:55,359
Speaker 2: youth tends to make mistakes, and I hope that the youth,

831
00:44:55,480 --> 00:44:58,759
Speaker 2: even though they make mistakes, you know, they overcome it

832
00:44:59,040 --> 00:45:02,560
Speaker 2: because of their and we're able to hang in there

833
00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:05,640
Speaker 2: with them defensively, but I expect the defense to be

834
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: a lot better at the end of the year than

835
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,319
Speaker 2: they will be at the beginning of the year. And

836
00:45:11,640 --> 00:45:14,480
Speaker 2: as far as the Solomon thing being, you know, the

837
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,320
Speaker 2: most improved, I think he's going to be in a

838
00:45:16,360 --> 00:45:21,000
Speaker 2: real dog fight with Landon Jackson for playing time. I

839
00:45:21,080 --> 00:45:24,160
Speaker 2: see those two guys going up against each other, especially

840
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,000
Speaker 2: for those early downs for playing time, because you know,

841
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:29,879
Speaker 2: Bosa is going to be there on the passing downs

842
00:45:30,080 --> 00:45:33,160
Speaker 2: probably more often than not. But that's where I see that.

843
00:45:33,480 --> 00:45:35,120
Speaker 2: And lastly, I just want to bring up a little

844
00:45:35,160 --> 00:45:37,839
Speaker 2: selfish thing. Me and my wife figured out a way

845
00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 2: how to kill these dead days in the middle of

846
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:43,320
Speaker 2: summer when there's not a lot of football going on.

847
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:46,120
Speaker 2: On Saturday, me and my wife are leaving for two

848
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:51,200
Speaker 2: weeks for our thirtieth anniversary on a cruise through Iceland,

849
00:45:51,320 --> 00:45:55,880
Speaker 2: Greenland and down the coast of Nova Scotia and Canada

850
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:59,040
Speaker 2: and that, and we're really excited about it. But I'm

851
00:45:59,080 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 2: really down because they say those Wi Fi up there,

852
00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,279
Speaker 2: and I'm going to try and get you guys on

853
00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:07,080
Speaker 2: Wi Fi up there, but if I can't, I'm gonna

854
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 2: have some real problems.

855
00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:13,239
Speaker 1: Well, spend more time with your wife and do and

856
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:18,120
Speaker 1: if you do anything in Iceland. I've heard fantastic things

857
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:22,000
Speaker 1: about their geothermal kind of things that they got there

858
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:26,080
Speaker 1: because they're like a geothermal area of the world. And yeah,

859
00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,120
Speaker 1: like I remember I was watching a Gordon Ramsay show

860
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,759
Speaker 1: and they were showing how they basically put doe in

861
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 1: a metal pot and bury it on the beach like

862
00:46:38,200 --> 00:46:40,200
Speaker 1: three feet down. They take it out an hour and

863
00:46:40,239 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 1: a half later, and they got a loaf of breads

864
00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:44,560
Speaker 1: just putting it in the ground. They don't have to

865
00:46:44,600 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 1: put in the oven or anything. It's it's like an

866
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,440
Speaker 1: oven at the beach. And I think they have like

867
00:46:49,480 --> 00:46:53,359
Speaker 1: geothermal baths there, like you know, bubbling kind of It's

868
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,000
Speaker 1: really cool some of the you know, terrestrial things that

869
00:46:58,040 --> 00:46:59,959
Speaker 1: go on there in Iceland that you really don't find

870
00:47:00,040 --> 00:47:02,200
Speaker 1: in too many other places in the world. So have

871
00:47:02,239 --> 00:47:06,319
Speaker 1: a fantastic trip, Mark and if you can't catch us,

872
00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: we'll live. We'll still be here when you get back.

873
00:47:08,239 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 3: Hopefully there's not too much going on in Bill's news

874
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:12,160
Speaker 3: while you're gone.

875
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:15,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't anticipate him missing too much for that

876
00:47:15,280 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 1: stretch of time that he said, that's a fantastic Yeah. True,

877
00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:22,879
Speaker 1: I enjoy that to the hilt and happy anniversary. Yeah,

878
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: we have to take a break here. When we come back.

Speaker 1: This this One Bill's Live presented by Calllida Health. Back

890
00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,480
Speaker 1: Wolf in just a little bit. But we want to

891
00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,600
Speaker 1: knock out some more questions from the obl fan mail

892
00:48:48,600 --> 00:48:52,879
Speaker 1: bag before we catch up with Cameron and large Tim

893
00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,959
Speaker 1: Horton's asks, who is working? I know, I like that

894
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good handle for social media. Who is

895
00:48:59,640 --> 00:49:03,200
Speaker 1: working on the Bill's uniform look upgrades, combos and helmets?

896
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: We all miss the standing red Buffalo. Can we hear

897
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:09,040
Speaker 1: what's in store? For the on the field look for

898
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 1: the twenty five, twenty six World champions. We do know

899
00:49:13,760 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 1: that the rivalry's uniforms are going to be issued not

900
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:23,080
Speaker 1: only for Buffalo, but a number of other teams to

901
00:49:23,120 --> 00:49:28,400
Speaker 1: be debuted in rivalry games. So it's the AFC East

902
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 1: and then it's I want to say, the NFC West

903
00:49:30,880 --> 00:49:34,439
Speaker 1: that's doing the rivalry uniforms. So yeah, so there's two

904
00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:40,640
Speaker 1: divisions that are being debuted with rivalries uniforms and they'll

905
00:49:40,680 --> 00:49:46,880
Speaker 1: be worn in at least one game, maybe two. And

906
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:52,600
Speaker 1: so those two divisions will have like alternate uniform head

907
00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:55,279
Speaker 1: to toe like it's going to be. Everything's going to

908
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:58,799
Speaker 1: be different. They have not been unveiled yet. I don't

909
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,680
Speaker 1: think have they.

910
00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:02,879
Speaker 3: Not been unveiled yet. It's with the NFC West. I'm

911
00:50:02,880 --> 00:50:05,319
Speaker 3: pulling up an old email about it. Yeah, and I

912
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,320
Speaker 3: remember we learned the uniforms are all going to model

913
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 3: the hometown that the team is from.

914
00:50:13,600 --> 00:50:15,200
Speaker 1: So there'll be a theme to that.

915
00:50:15,360 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 3: Yes, there's going to be a theme to why these

916
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:22,040
Speaker 3: uniforms represent Buffalo in what Buffalo is about.

917
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:26,920
Speaker 1: So that'll be worn presumably in a division game at

918
00:50:26,920 --> 00:50:30,200
Speaker 1: some point in time, to be announced at a later date.

919
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,799
Speaker 1: So I would say stay tuned for that. As for

920
00:50:33,840 --> 00:50:36,920
Speaker 1: you know, some of the throwback stuff that people like

921
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:40,439
Speaker 1: so much, I would I would say, wait until we're

922
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:43,279
Speaker 1: in the new stadium, and then it wouldn't shock me

923
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:47,400
Speaker 1: if in year one in the new stadium there's something

924
00:50:47,440 --> 00:50:50,360
Speaker 1: in store there. I don't know that for a fact,

925
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:53,560
Speaker 1: but I think if we're kind of putting our heads together,

926
00:50:53,640 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: it wouldn't shock me if we find some kind of

927
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:01,520
Speaker 1: element with the uniform in you know, a throwback week

928
00:51:01,600 --> 00:51:05,719
Speaker 1: scenario or something like that. That's when I would anticipate

929
00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,360
Speaker 1: something of that nature coming down the pike. But we

930
00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:15,120
Speaker 1: do know the Rivalry's uniform ensemble will be happening for

931
00:51:15,360 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 1: one game this season at the very least, So hopefully

932
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:22,200
Speaker 1: that's enough to chew on until we get to something more. Yeah,

933
00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:25,640
Speaker 1: and I'm really curious to see how they incorporate, you know,

934
00:51:25,680 --> 00:51:31,200
Speaker 1: what Buffalo is into the uniform design. Tim on the

935
00:51:31,360 --> 00:51:34,720
Speaker 1: mail Bag asks what player would surprise you the most

936
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:38,760
Speaker 1: if they made the team and what player would surprise

937
00:51:38,760 --> 00:51:41,879
Speaker 1: you the most if they were cut from the team. Wow,

938
00:51:41,920 --> 00:51:42,680
Speaker 1: that's a tough.

939
00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:45,279
Speaker 3: One projecting before training camp.

940
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:47,799
Speaker 1: And with a lot of I mean ninety players on

941
00:51:47,880 --> 00:51:54,360
Speaker 1: the roster, I would say a surprise, a non surprising,

942
00:51:55,200 --> 00:51:57,200
Speaker 1: or what would surprise you the most if they made

943
00:51:57,239 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 1: the team. It would probably be a guy that's deep

944
00:52:00,320 --> 00:52:04,760
Speaker 1: on the depth chart at a loaded position. So whether

945
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:08,840
Speaker 1: that's you know, like tight end, like a Zach Davidson

946
00:52:08,920 --> 00:52:11,960
Speaker 1: or a Kaliki Latu, who's you know, an undrafted rookie

947
00:52:12,560 --> 00:52:15,239
Speaker 1: you know, or Frank or Junior or Darrenton Evans at

948
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:21,240
Speaker 1: running back. I mean, good players certainly capable of playing

949
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:26,240
Speaker 1: in this league. But you know, you got James Cook,

950
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:30,200
Speaker 1: Ray Davis, you know, and Ty Johnson in front of you.

951
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:34,279
Speaker 1: It's hard to crack the roster, yea. So those are

952
00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,200
Speaker 1: some names you could probably put out there. You can

953
00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:39,600
Speaker 1: put a Caden Prather out there, you know, nice looking,

954
00:52:39,719 --> 00:52:43,440
Speaker 1: young rookie wide receiver, but a guy that, in all likelihood,

955
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:45,360
Speaker 1: unless there's a rash of injuries there at the beginning

956
00:52:45,360 --> 00:52:48,760
Speaker 1: of the season, is probably going to have to toil

957
00:52:48,800 --> 00:52:49,760
Speaker 1: on the practice squad.

958
00:52:50,160 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 3: One that I thought about was day Kwon Hardy. Brandon

959
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:57,280
Speaker 3: Codrington kind of took over that role as the primary

960
00:52:57,280 --> 00:53:01,359
Speaker 3: returner in during the season, and Hardy as somebody who

961
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 3: has contended for that role and continues to do so

962
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:06,759
Speaker 3: through OTAs and mandatory mini camp. But the fact is

963
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:11,319
Speaker 3: you also have a wide receiver now taking part in

964
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:15,800
Speaker 3: that competition in Leaviscous Chanolt, who has had success doing

965
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 3: so before and who could be a good addition to

966
00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:24,359
Speaker 3: the wide receiver room. Joe Brady talked about knowing what

967
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:28,919
Speaker 3: Leaviscous Channault was about during college football and how big

968
00:53:28,960 --> 00:53:31,640
Speaker 3: of a name he was coming into the NFL and

969
00:53:31,719 --> 00:53:35,480
Speaker 3: trying to get that out of him. In Buffalo, Dekon

970
00:53:35,560 --> 00:53:38,040
Speaker 3: Hardy is somebody who is kind of down on the

971
00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:42,399
Speaker 3: pecking order in the cornerbacks room. You have a packed secondary.

972
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,279
Speaker 3: You think about fighting it out for the returner role,

973
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:49,359
Speaker 3: but then can you add to the cornerbacks room? And

974
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,560
Speaker 3: if not, are you adding to the special teams anywhere else?

975
00:53:52,600 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 3: And it's hard to make a roster if you're not

976
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:57,680
Speaker 3: checking the box. Yes, in those categories.

977
00:53:57,800 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I mean even thinking about some Buffalo's draft

978
00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:04,840
Speaker 1: choices like Chase Lunt, for example, at the offensive tackle position,

979
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,160
Speaker 1: I mean in front of him are obviously the two

980
00:54:08,239 --> 00:54:11,600
Speaker 1: starters Spencer Brown and Dion Dawkins. But then you have

981
00:54:11,680 --> 00:54:14,759
Speaker 1: Tyland Grable, who won the swing tackle position as a

982
00:54:14,840 --> 00:54:18,080
Speaker 1: rookie last year, and then you still have Ryan Vandermark.

983
00:54:18,280 --> 00:54:20,120
Speaker 1: I mean there's four guys in front of him before

984
00:54:20,160 --> 00:54:22,719
Speaker 1: he even steps on the field, and even then he's

985
00:54:22,719 --> 00:54:25,920
Speaker 1: competing with like a Richard Garage and other guys. So

986
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:31,400
Speaker 1: that's that's a tough ladder to climb, especially as a rookie.

987
00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:34,520
Speaker 1: And you know, you look at Buffalo's draft class and

988
00:54:34,560 --> 00:54:36,800
Speaker 1: it's like, man, it's gonna be hard for Caden Prather,

989
00:54:37,080 --> 00:54:39,520
Speaker 1: it's gonna be hard for Chase Lunt and probably a

990
00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:45,320
Speaker 1: few others. But it's a hard roster to make. So yeah,

991
00:54:45,440 --> 00:54:48,120
Speaker 1: I mean that's I mean, who's gonna shock me if

992
00:54:48,120 --> 00:54:50,839
Speaker 1: they're cut? I don't know, like you can name any

993
00:54:50,840 --> 00:54:54,080
Speaker 1: guy you're expecting to make the lineup or make the

994
00:54:54,080 --> 00:54:55,960
Speaker 1: starting lineup, I should say on either side of the

995
00:54:56,000 --> 00:55:00,440
Speaker 1: ball and come up with somebody pretty quickly. Ed asks

996
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,480
Speaker 1: which position groups are the ones to closely watch in

997
00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 1: training camp?

998
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 3: Well, there's the obvious in the true position battles that

999
00:55:12,760 --> 00:55:17,080
Speaker 3: are happening. That's cornerback two, opposite of Christian Benford. How

1000
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 3: is that looking with a rookie in Maxwell Harriston and

1001
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 3: Tredevious White coming back to the roster as well as

1002
00:55:24,160 --> 00:55:27,520
Speaker 3: Dan Jackson, who have both spent time in Buffalo before.

1003
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,200
Speaker 3: There's the safety position, it's Damar Hamlin and Cole Bishop

1004
00:55:31,880 --> 00:55:34,200
Speaker 3: fighting it out for a starting spot. And then there's

1005
00:55:34,239 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 3: the defensive line position group where there's so many new

1006
00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,800
Speaker 3: players a part of that group that you're just watching.

1007
00:55:42,320 --> 00:55:46,120
Speaker 3: How are these guys gelling and how are they mixing

1008
00:55:46,160 --> 00:55:50,280
Speaker 3: and matching on certain down and distances as we see

1009
00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:54,680
Speaker 3: training camp practices take place and even eleven drills happen.

1010
00:55:54,800 --> 00:55:57,279
Speaker 1: Yeah, Like, is Joey Bosa only coming on and long

1011
00:55:57,360 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 1: down in distant situations to indicate he might only be

1012
00:55:59,800 --> 00:56:06,080
Speaker 1: used as a pass rush specialist. Is someone challenging aj

1013
00:56:06,239 --> 00:56:11,960
Speaker 1: Epenessa for his base defense, you know, rundown role on

1014
00:56:12,080 --> 00:56:15,040
Speaker 1: maybe first and second down? You know, is Landon Jackson

1015
00:56:15,160 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 1: entering the equation there at all to challenge him for

1016
00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: that role? And I don't think it's really you know,

1017
00:56:23,160 --> 00:56:25,640
Speaker 1: is somebody challenging day Kwon Jones, you know in the

1018
00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 1: one technique spot next to at Oliver, you know now

1019
00:56:29,560 --> 00:56:32,000
Speaker 1: being thirty four years of old, thirty four years old

1020
00:56:32,040 --> 00:56:34,600
Speaker 1: and the last year of his contract. So I think

1021
00:56:34,640 --> 00:56:40,080
Speaker 1: there are more positions up for grabs, so to say,

1022
00:56:40,120 --> 00:56:42,480
Speaker 1: on the defensive side of the ball than on the

1023
00:56:42,480 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 1: offensive side, where I think we largely expect the offensive

1024
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:50,120
Speaker 1: line to remain the same. And you know, outside of

1025
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 1: maybe one wide receiver role, I mean, if they keep

1026
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:57,680
Speaker 1: six wide receivers, you're arguably going to be having five

1027
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,799
Speaker 1: or six receivers fighting for that once. Because I think

1028
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 1: the pecking order, at least in terms of contract sizes

1029
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:09,160
Speaker 1: awarded to free agents, is pretty clearly defined. Now. It's

1030
00:57:09,200 --> 00:57:11,359
Speaker 1: not the end all be all, and we wouldn't put

1031
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:15,000
Speaker 1: it in ink, but we kind of have a firm sense

1032
00:57:15,080 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 1: for how the one through five is going to look.

1033
00:57:19,160 --> 00:57:21,120
Speaker 1: We might not know who's one, two, three, four, five,

1034
00:57:21,200 --> 00:57:23,880
Speaker 1: but we know the five. I guess if that makes sense. Yeah,

1035
00:57:23,920 --> 00:57:28,000
Speaker 1: we know who the five are likely to be, and

1036
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:32,120
Speaker 1: keeping six is not a sure thing either. So yeah,

1037
00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:35,560
Speaker 1: I would say those are probably the position groups to

1038
00:57:35,640 --> 00:57:39,160
Speaker 1: keep an eye on because I don't expect a lot

1039
00:57:39,200 --> 00:57:43,840
Speaker 1: to change in many of the other places. So and yes,

1040
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 1: if there's an injury in training camp, things could get

1041
00:57:46,520 --> 00:57:47,440
Speaker 1: changed pretty quickly.

1042
00:57:47,480 --> 00:57:50,880
Speaker 3: Here's another one punter competition. Everybody, that's one I didn't talk.

1043
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 1: It's going to be somebody new We know that, Yeah,

1044
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,640
Speaker 1: is it Brad Robbins, Is it Jay Camarda or is

1045
00:57:56,680 --> 00:58:00,640
Speaker 1: it somebody else? Oh, can't rule that out either. We

1046
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,880
Speaker 1: do want to pivot now, though, to a conversation with

1047
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:07,320
Speaker 1: NFL Network national reporter Cameron Wolf, who joins us to

1048
00:58:07,320 --> 00:58:10,160
Speaker 1: discuss not only a couple of Bills topics in anticipation

1049
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:13,080
Speaker 1: of the twenty twenty five season, but some AFC East

1050
00:58:13,120 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 1: topics as well, and some of the other opponents on

1051
00:58:16,360 --> 00:58:21,440
Speaker 1: Buffalo's schedule. So let's now check in with Cameron Wolf. Cam.

1052
00:58:21,520 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 1: I know that we're kind of hitting a dead period

1053
00:58:24,120 --> 00:58:26,800
Speaker 1: in the off season for the NFL, which is brief

1054
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 1: as we all know, but still there are questions out

1055
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 1: there because people are wondering what certain things are going

1056
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:38,000
Speaker 1: to look like for various teams across the league and

1057
00:58:38,280 --> 00:58:41,439
Speaker 1: the one for me. Obviously we suffer from Bill's myopia here,

1058
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:45,680
Speaker 1: but we know the overhaul that the Buffalo defensive line

1059
00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:49,360
Speaker 1: underwent this offseason. They had an influx of free agent

1060
00:58:49,440 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: talent Ogunjobi and Hoyt, who are both going to be

1061
00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:54,760
Speaker 1: out of commission for the first six weeks on suspension,

1062
00:58:55,240 --> 00:58:59,000
Speaker 1: then the influx of youth in the draft, so a

1063
00:58:59,000 --> 00:59:03,440
Speaker 1: lot of new faces upfront. The talent is tantalizing. Weaving

1064
00:59:03,480 --> 00:59:07,160
Speaker 1: it all together is the big question. Where would you

1065
00:59:07,240 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 1: rank that in questions for the Bills going into this season,

1066
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,439
Speaker 1: because they have a lot of roster positions solidified, this

1067
00:59:14,480 --> 00:59:17,080
Speaker 1: is one where knowing their rotation, there's gonna be a

1068
00:59:17,080 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 1: lot of churn there. How do you think it fits together?

1069
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:23,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, Chris's number one to me, that's number one question

1070
00:59:23,240 --> 00:59:26,480
Speaker 4: mark for this team. Do they have enough on the

1071
00:59:26,520 --> 00:59:28,720
Speaker 4: defensive front? Do they have enough pass rush? It's really

1072
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,320
Speaker 4: been the question we've had the last few years of

1073
00:59:31,360 --> 00:59:33,919
Speaker 4: the defense just needing a little bit more, a little

1074
00:59:33,920 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 4: bit more of a closer coming in. And you mentioned

1075
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 4: the two defensive linemen that you know are suspended early

1076
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 4: in the year. You also got Joey Bozo you brought

1077
00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:43,880
Speaker 4: in to be a finisher who's already dealing with a

1078
00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:46,560
Speaker 4: little bit of a minor injury. You know, the hope

1079
00:59:46,640 --> 00:59:48,920
Speaker 4: is he's back by camp. But I would be lying

1080
00:59:48,920 --> 00:59:50,800
Speaker 4: to you to say, if it's not a concern that

1081
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:52,800
Speaker 4: you know, a lot of the eggs that you have

1082
00:59:52,960 --> 00:59:55,360
Speaker 4: kind of put in this basket right now are dealing

1083
00:59:55,360 --> 00:59:57,160
Speaker 4: with a little bit of a question mark early in

1084
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 4: the season. And then obviously you have Landon and jack

1085
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:02,360
Speaker 4: Landon Jackson and TJ. Saunders that you want to be

1086
01:00:02,360 --> 01:00:04,800
Speaker 4: able to contribute early to. But I'll tell you this,

1087
01:00:04,880 --> 01:00:07,360
Speaker 4: if we can get past September in October and some

1088
01:00:07,440 --> 01:00:09,560
Speaker 4: of those guys come back and Bosa's healthy and the

1089
01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:12,880
Speaker 4: rookies catch up, I do think they have enough talent

1090
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:13,520
Speaker 4: in that room.

1091
01:00:13,600 --> 01:00:13,800
Speaker 7: You know.

1092
01:00:13,880 --> 01:00:16,680
Speaker 4: I'll talk to Brandon Bean about this. Early in the

1093
01:00:16,720 --> 01:00:18,919
Speaker 4: draft period, they went in with the vision of, hey,

1094
01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,400
Speaker 4: we need some young guys to compliment and build a

1095
01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 4: long term pass rush bunch, and they think that Ed

1096
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,840
Speaker 4: Oliver and TJ. Sanders can run inside together as double

1097
01:00:30,920 --> 01:00:33,840
Speaker 4: edge rushers. I love the idea of that. You obviously

1098
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 4: paid Greg Russeau this offseason, and if you can get

1099
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:39,360
Speaker 4: a healthy Joey Bosa, the potential is there. But right now,

1100
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 4: the unknowns certainly make it number one on question marks.

1101
01:00:43,480 --> 01:00:46,520
Speaker 3: You talked about getting through those first six weeks with

1102
01:00:46,640 --> 01:00:50,000
Speaker 3: Larry Ogunjobi and Michael Hoyt out of the picture. The

1103
01:00:50,040 --> 01:00:52,760
Speaker 3: Bills have their bye week seven, they don't face the

1104
01:00:52,840 --> 01:00:55,440
Speaker 3: Chiefs till week nine. The first eight weeks of the

1105
01:00:55,480 --> 01:00:58,680
Speaker 3: season for Buffalo are looking like a nice tune up

1106
01:00:58,760 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 3: in terms of the teams that they're playing. Yes, they

1107
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 3: have the Ravens week one, but beyond that, it's looking

1108
01:01:04,760 --> 01:01:06,360
Speaker 3: like the Bills will be able to figure out who

1109
01:01:06,400 --> 01:01:10,120
Speaker 3: they are before facing the Chiefs. You couple their schedule

1110
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 3: with some of the newness on the defense. What are

1111
01:01:13,720 --> 01:01:18,040
Speaker 3: your expectations early expectations for Buffalo's season.

1112
01:01:18,880 --> 01:01:20,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think you hit it on the nose in

1113
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:22,120
Speaker 4: the fact that you get a little bit of a

1114
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:25,240
Speaker 4: benefit with the schedule because you want to have some

1115
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:28,840
Speaker 4: freedom to start off slow for lack of a better word,

1116
01:01:28,880 --> 01:01:31,600
Speaker 4: if it needs to be. You mentioned a defense of

1117
01:01:31,880 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 4: new faces. We haven't even got to the cornerback room

1118
01:01:34,040 --> 01:01:36,800
Speaker 4: where you have a first round pick and Maxwell Harriston

1119
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:39,320
Speaker 4: that you ideally want to eventually be a starter. You're

1120
01:01:39,360 --> 01:01:43,160
Speaker 4: bringing back Trey White, you know, you're still shuffling around

1121
01:01:43,160 --> 01:01:44,840
Speaker 4: in the safety room who's going to be the starter.

1122
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:48,120
Speaker 4: So there's definitely a lot of uncertainty. So it wouldn't

1123
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,480
Speaker 4: shock me if, hey, the first month of the season,

1124
01:01:50,760 --> 01:01:55,240
Speaker 4: the Bills weren't the AFC contender looking like on defense

1125
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,520
Speaker 4: that we'd hope they'd be. But if you can get

1126
01:01:57,520 --> 01:01:59,280
Speaker 4: past that. By you can get past some of the

1127
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 4: early schedule that looks a bit favorable, then you're on

1128
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:05,840
Speaker 4: the ground running. And so I think, at least in

1129
01:02:05,880 --> 01:02:08,720
Speaker 4: my view, you know, maybe you lose a game or

1130
01:02:08,760 --> 01:02:11,160
Speaker 4: two that people don't expect you to do earlier, but

1131
01:02:11,560 --> 01:02:14,360
Speaker 4: we know this Bill's team now and going forward will

1132
01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,600
Speaker 4: be judged on what they do in January, and so

1133
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 4: if they have to trade a September loss for a

1134
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
Speaker 4: January win, I think they do that anytime.

1135
01:02:21,160 --> 01:02:24,120
Speaker 1: James Cook kind of quelled concerns when he showed up

1136
01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,800
Speaker 1: to mandatory mini camp and then Brandon being in a

1137
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:31,919
Speaker 1: mini camp press conference basically said he expects James Cook

1138
01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:34,880
Speaker 1: to be a training camp on time and said he

1139
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,360
Speaker 1: expects him on time whether he has a contract or not.

1140
01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: That perked up all of our ears because we're saying, oh,

1141
01:02:40,920 --> 01:02:43,840
Speaker 1: is there still some dialogue going on there? So I

1142
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:46,520
Speaker 1: don't know if it'll happen before training camp, but maybe

1143
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:48,960
Speaker 1: started the regular season. It seems that there is at

1144
01:02:49,040 --> 01:02:53,280
Speaker 1: least a crack in the door opening there to maybe

1145
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:55,720
Speaker 1: finding their way to some common ground on an extension.

1146
01:02:56,440 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, a crack is probably the right word. The doors

1147
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,960
Speaker 4: cracked as not completely closed. Look, James Cook showing up

1148
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,600
Speaker 4: for mini camp was a good sign towards progress and

1149
01:03:06,640 --> 01:03:10,959
Speaker 4: making it through this season without that potential deal. Both

1150
01:03:10,960 --> 01:03:14,320
Speaker 4: sides still want to figure something out. They're just different

1151
01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:17,840
Speaker 4: in the numbers. There's been no significant progress from what

1152
01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,520
Speaker 4: I understand since the last time we've talked about this,

1153
01:03:20,640 --> 01:03:24,240
Speaker 4: So nothing imminent. James Cook wants to be paid like

1154
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:25,960
Speaker 4: one of the best running backs in the league, and

1155
01:03:26,320 --> 01:03:28,880
Speaker 4: you know, the Bills have a different number in mind,

1156
01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:32,640
Speaker 4: and obviously another year may convince them otherwise. And so

1157
01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:35,000
Speaker 4: I think right now we're probably going to enter the

1158
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:38,320
Speaker 4: year with James Cook on the same contract, but you know,

1159
01:03:38,720 --> 01:03:43,320
Speaker 4: never say never, and deals can be done through deadlines. Otherwise,

1160
01:03:44,080 --> 01:03:47,360
Speaker 4: I certainly know the Bills need James Cook, and James

1161
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,880
Speaker 4: Cook knows how valuable he is to the Bills, and

1162
01:03:49,920 --> 01:03:53,680
Speaker 4: so I anticipate this being a relatively non issue once

1163
01:03:53,720 --> 01:03:55,280
Speaker 4: we get towards the season.

1164
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 3: Moving on to a team that you know very well

1165
01:03:57,480 --> 01:04:00,320
Speaker 3: in the Miami Dolphins. The Bills will see Miami first

1166
01:04:00,440 --> 01:04:03,320
Speaker 3: in Week three for Thursday Night Game. What was your

1167
01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:07,680
Speaker 3: biggest takeaway out of Dolphin's OTAs and mandatory mini camp.

1168
01:04:08,400 --> 01:04:11,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a different team. They are on paper, from

1169
01:04:11,280 --> 01:04:13,920
Speaker 4: what I've seen, less talented than they have been the

1170
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 4: last couple of years, which is interesting, giving you some

1171
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:20,520
Speaker 4: increased pressure on them. They have been undergoing what the

1172
01:04:20,560 --> 01:04:23,760
Speaker 4: players call some sort of culture change, trying to change

1173
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,760
Speaker 4: the leaders they have in the building. Jalen Ramsey is

1174
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:30,880
Speaker 4: about to be exiting via trade sometime in the next month.

1175
01:04:31,320 --> 01:04:33,560
Speaker 4: They've been working on it for a while. They let

1176
01:04:33,640 --> 01:04:37,080
Speaker 4: go of Javon Holland in free agency. You had Jordan

1177
01:04:37,120 --> 01:04:39,680
Speaker 4: Poyer who was here in Buffalo, he's not coming back,

1178
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:43,680
Speaker 4: and you know Kalais Campbell toront Armstead leaving and they

1179
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:45,760
Speaker 4: replaced them with a lot of youth, and so they're

1180
01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,760
Speaker 4: betting on youth and development to help them through this

1181
01:04:48,880 --> 01:04:52,160
Speaker 4: next stage. Still question marks for them in the secondary,

1182
01:04:52,480 --> 01:04:55,480
Speaker 4: on the offensive line, can their quarterbacks stay healthy? But

1183
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:57,280
Speaker 4: their thought is, hey, maybe we can be a little

1184
01:04:57,320 --> 01:04:59,800
Speaker 4: bit closer as a team and that can help us

1185
01:05:00,040 --> 01:05:03,880
Speaker 4: out wilt in those November, December January moments as they've

1186
01:05:03,920 --> 01:05:05,600
Speaker 4: had in previous seasons.

1187
01:05:05,840 --> 01:05:09,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, I found Bradley Chubb's comments pretty interesting, saying we

1188
01:05:09,880 --> 01:05:12,680
Speaker 1: tried to change the culture last year and for lack

1189
01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:17,120
Speaker 1: of a better term. We were halfing it. But to me,

1190
01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:21,600
Speaker 1: this is perplexing, Cam and I know, like you're in

1191
01:05:21,640 --> 01:05:25,440
Speaker 1: that area most of the time anyway. So Mike McDaniel

1192
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 1: trying to enact a culture change like three four years

1193
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:34,120
Speaker 1: in to his you know, regime, just seems perplexing. I

1194
01:05:34,160 --> 01:05:37,080
Speaker 1: would understand if they had and I realized they were

1195
01:05:37,080 --> 01:05:39,400
Speaker 1: a team in transition to some degree to the comments

1196
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 1: you just made, But that's something walking in the door

1197
01:05:42,600 --> 01:05:45,160
Speaker 1: day one you want to try to enact. And I'm

1198
01:05:45,160 --> 01:05:47,960
Speaker 1: not saying he didn't try to do that then, but

1199
01:05:48,160 --> 01:05:50,920
Speaker 1: if he did, it seemed rather ineffective. I mean, we

1200
01:05:50,960 --> 01:05:53,480
Speaker 1: saw the reports last year of players showing up late

1201
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:56,160
Speaker 1: to meetings, getting fined and then still showing up late.

1202
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:02,880
Speaker 1: How big of a potential crisis could this be if

1203
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:08,240
Speaker 1: this new plan of being more responsible, being more accountable

1204
01:06:08,240 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 1: to your teammates, being more accountable to your coaches doesn't

1205
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 1: take root here in the first half of this season.

1206
01:06:15,440 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 4: Yes, it's an interesting question. Look, I've been around the

1207
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 4: building a while. They aren't talking about culture as this

1208
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:24,840
Speaker 4: buzzword inside the building. It's not something Mike's bringing up,

1209
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,560
Speaker 4: but he's you know, it's pretty clear they want a

1210
01:06:27,640 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 4: different type of player based on the offseason, how it's gone,

1211
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 4: the guys who have left, the guys they've brought back in.

1212
01:06:36,160 --> 01:06:39,480
Speaker 4: They've had a lot of those conversations about accountability. I

1213
01:06:39,480 --> 01:06:43,320
Speaker 4: think one thing Mike is has admitted, you know, Mike

1214
01:06:43,360 --> 01:06:46,560
Speaker 4: McDaniel is that early on he maybe gave too much

1215
01:06:46,600 --> 01:06:48,720
Speaker 4: trust to his players and wanted to be a player

1216
01:06:48,840 --> 01:06:53,120
Speaker 4: led organization and how they ran things. And I think

1217
01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:55,880
Speaker 4: he's learned, probably about being burned a little bit the

1218
01:06:55,920 --> 01:06:57,920
Speaker 4: last couple of years, that he's got to have a

1219
01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,960
Speaker 4: little bit more control over discipline, over accountability and can

1220
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,640
Speaker 4: he change and can the team change in a significant

1221
01:07:05,720 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 4: enough way in one off season. I don't know. I

1222
01:07:07,720 --> 01:07:10,400
Speaker 4: think that's going to have to be results, not words.

1223
01:07:11,160 --> 01:07:14,880
Speaker 4: But there certainly is a huge question mark about this

1224
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,760
Speaker 4: team's toughness. Can they play in colder weather? Can they

1225
01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:20,880
Speaker 4: play in the playoffs? And I think there is at

1226
01:07:20,920 --> 01:07:23,680
Speaker 4: least an understanding that we've got to actively do something

1227
01:07:23,680 --> 01:07:26,400
Speaker 4: to change that. So different people in the building doesn't

1228
01:07:26,440 --> 01:07:28,720
Speaker 4: mean it's going to be a better season, but that

1229
01:07:28,880 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 4: is their plan is, Hey, we're gonna go younger, We're

1230
01:07:31,200 --> 01:07:33,600
Speaker 4: going to find new leaders and We're going to uphold

1231
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:35,960
Speaker 4: ourselves in a different way we did before, and if

1232
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:38,800
Speaker 4: we've had to sacrifice some star power, some talent to

1233
01:07:38,840 --> 01:07:41,240
Speaker 4: do that, then that's the risk we're willing to take.

1234
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 4: And so the Buffalo see very early whether or not

1235
01:07:44,480 --> 01:07:47,280
Speaker 4: it's the same Dolphins team they've seen in the last

1236
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:47,840
Speaker 4: few years.

1237
01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:50,280
Speaker 3: When you look at the AFC East as a whole,

1238
01:07:50,400 --> 01:07:54,600
Speaker 3: you know, the Bills have had some retooling on defense,

1239
01:07:54,680 --> 01:07:58,000
Speaker 3: but look to be in a good seat to contend

1240
01:07:58,080 --> 01:08:01,040
Speaker 3: for that AFC East title once again. You've got the

1241
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:03,720
Speaker 3: Jets and the Patriots who have a lot of newness

1242
01:08:03,720 --> 01:08:06,440
Speaker 3: to them. But a lot of people feel confident in

1243
01:08:06,480 --> 01:08:08,960
Speaker 3: what the Patriots have going on. That's because of their

1244
01:08:09,040 --> 01:08:12,400
Speaker 3: quarterback and their head coach and Mike Vrabel. When talking

1245
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:15,920
Speaker 3: to national reporters this offseason, a lot of people have

1246
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,719
Speaker 3: said the Patriots are the team who could maybe push

1247
01:08:19,840 --> 01:08:24,439
Speaker 3: Buffalo a little bit in season. When you hear that

1248
01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,360
Speaker 3: and when the Dolphins may be out of that equation,

1249
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,920
Speaker 3: what is the talk on the inside about the fact

1250
01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:34,360
Speaker 3: that Miami may not be that number two team anymore.

1251
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a good question. Is teams in different trajectories, right,

1252
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,800
Speaker 4: and it's all based off your quarterback, your youth, where

1253
01:08:40,800 --> 01:08:43,439
Speaker 4: you are on the contract. Drake May is the second

1254
01:08:43,560 --> 01:08:45,800
Speaker 4: year of sending quarterback on a rookie contract, and so

1255
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:48,120
Speaker 4: they were able to spend a lot more money in

1256
01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 4: free agency make some splashy moves. I really like Mike

1257
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,000
Speaker 4: Vrabel as the head coach there building that culture. So

1258
01:08:54,320 --> 01:08:56,720
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're ready this year to be

1259
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:58,840
Speaker 4: able to challenge for a division title. That may be

1260
01:08:58,960 --> 01:09:02,080
Speaker 4: too soon, but they are certainly a team heading upward,

1261
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:05,200
Speaker 4: a team that for years to come, Buffalo is eventually

1262
01:09:05,200 --> 01:09:08,160
Speaker 4: going to have to contend with Miami is sort of

1263
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 4: in this you know, this fork in the road spot.

1264
01:09:11,520 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 4: They were the ascending team for the last three years

1265
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 4: and now they've had a plateau. Are they going to

1266
01:09:16,280 --> 01:09:18,960
Speaker 4: fall down to crater or are they going to find

1267
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,439
Speaker 4: a way to research And right now there's a lot

1268
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 4: of concern that they're going to create her And so

1269
01:09:24,240 --> 01:09:27,160
Speaker 4: I think that's what you're hearing of different trajectories of

1270
01:09:27,200 --> 01:09:30,000
Speaker 4: the team. If I was still handicapping it, I'd probably

1271
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,800
Speaker 4: say the Bills are the favorite in the division and

1272
01:09:32,800 --> 01:09:35,840
Speaker 4: the Dolphins are probably second. But it wouldn't surprise me

1273
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:39,360
Speaker 4: if we see the Patriots having upswing and challenge the

1274
01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:41,680
Speaker 4: Dolphins for that second spot in the division, and the

1275
01:09:41,760 --> 01:09:44,200
Speaker 4: Jets for that matter too with a new quarterback and

1276
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:46,719
Speaker 4: Justin Fields and a new head coach in Aaron Glenn.

1277
01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Last one, I've got four of you, Cam, because I

1278
01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 1: know you've been working on this story. But you know

1279
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:55,000
Speaker 1: the Shamar Stewart mess, because there's really no other way

1280
01:09:55,040 --> 01:09:57,960
Speaker 1: to describe it at this point in time. With the Bengals,

1281
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:01,639
Speaker 1: we already know they've I've got one pass rusher they're

1282
01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:04,479
Speaker 1: trying to deal with, and the word is they are

1283
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:08,679
Speaker 1: at least talking with Trey Hendrickson's camp about an extension

1284
01:10:08,680 --> 01:10:11,360
Speaker 1: because he's publicly said he's not playing under his current deal.

1285
01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:14,840
Speaker 1: But the Shamar Stewart thing, like, they got to get

1286
01:10:14,840 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 1: one of these guys figured out and fast so they

1287
01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:19,160
Speaker 1: have somebody to rush off the edge Week one. I

1288
01:10:19,200 --> 01:10:21,240
Speaker 1: realize there's a lot of time between now and then,

1289
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: but still we know that the Bengals are not a

1290
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:29,439
Speaker 1: swiftly acting franchise historically, So how much do you see

1291
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,680
Speaker 1: these two negotiations kind of dragging through the summer and

1292
01:10:33,720 --> 01:10:35,520
Speaker 1: potentially into camp in the preseason.

1293
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's a real issue. You know, you don't have

1294
01:10:38,280 --> 01:10:41,080
Speaker 4: two of your most talented pass rushers on the field

1295
01:10:41,120 --> 01:10:45,800
Speaker 4: offspring and now questions going into July. Let me start

1296
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:49,800
Speaker 4: with Shamar Stewart because holdouts for rookies are rare, but

1297
01:10:49,840 --> 01:10:52,439
Speaker 4: they're not impossible. And for this one, just to make

1298
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,719
Speaker 4: it as simple as is, it's based off a void

1299
01:10:55,120 --> 01:10:58,000
Speaker 4: contract language. Essentially, the Bengals are trying to put a

1300
01:10:58,680 --> 01:11:01,639
Speaker 4: language into the contract that his contract could be voided

1301
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:04,439
Speaker 4: if he has off the field issues or otherwise. It's

1302
01:11:04,479 --> 01:11:07,200
Speaker 4: something they haven't done before. It would be the first

1303
01:11:07,240 --> 01:11:09,720
Speaker 4: time they're doing it with a first round pick, and

1304
01:11:09,800 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 4: so his team doesn't like being the guinea pig for

1305
01:11:12,479 --> 01:11:15,559
Speaker 4: this new trial. They say, hey, let's negotiate. If we're

1306
01:11:15,560 --> 01:11:18,240
Speaker 4: giving you this, give us some more signing bonus money

1307
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,680
Speaker 4: up front, or give us offsets on our deal. And

1308
01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,800
Speaker 4: right now, neither side is budging right now, and they're

1309
01:11:24,800 --> 01:11:27,920
Speaker 4: talking precedent and they're really staring at each other down

1310
01:11:27,920 --> 01:11:31,320
Speaker 4: and obviously got really messy with Shamar Stewart going public

1311
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:34,439
Speaker 4: and calling out them, trying to win a negotiation before

1312
01:11:34,479 --> 01:11:38,759
Speaker 4: he's even stepped on the practice field, and the Chamar's

1313
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,760
Speaker 4: camp from not I understand, is willing to let this

1314
01:11:40,920 --> 01:11:44,639
Speaker 4: linger through training camp if there is no deal right now.

1315
01:11:44,680 --> 01:11:47,559
Speaker 4: Those are just words, but he does not need to

1316
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:50,559
Speaker 4: be fine because he's not under contract. That being said,

1317
01:11:50,600 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 4: the Bengals signed their first round pick last year, a

1318
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:56,439
Speaker 4: Marius mems on July twenty second, right before training camp.

1319
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:59,400
Speaker 4: So that's the next deadline, ideally the two three days

1320
01:11:59,400 --> 01:12:01,680
Speaker 4: before you get deal done. But if not, maybe this

1321
01:12:01,800 --> 01:12:04,400
Speaker 4: thing Lingers Trey Hendrickson is a little different. You know,

1322
01:12:04,439 --> 01:12:08,360
Speaker 4: he wants a renewed contract. He is currently under contract,

1323
01:12:08,400 --> 01:12:11,439
Speaker 4: so he could be fine for missing training camp, you know,

1324
01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,479
Speaker 4: up to millions of dollars, and so eventually there's gonna

1325
01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,680
Speaker 4: have to be some bluff there. They've had conversations, but

1326
01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:21,759
Speaker 4: it's been very minimal from what I understand, and definitely

1327
01:12:21,800 --> 01:12:24,439
Speaker 4: not significant progress to say a deal is imminent. So

1328
01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,320
Speaker 4: you know, you got to think that somebody's got to say, hey,

1329
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:31,200
Speaker 4: we're gonna take the compromise deal, and right now there's

1330
01:12:31,240 --> 01:12:34,559
Speaker 4: just no direction. So the Bengals have historically started off

1331
01:12:34,640 --> 01:12:37,639
Speaker 4: really slow in seasons and this is not something that's

1332
01:12:37,680 --> 01:12:40,479
Speaker 4: helping them in that department. So definitely, in my in

1333
01:12:40,479 --> 01:12:42,679
Speaker 4: my eyes, a big issue for them to'll be worked

1334
01:12:42,680 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 4: out over the next month.

1335
01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:47,360
Speaker 3: Last one for me, Cam take us anywhere you want.

1336
01:12:47,439 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 3: What's been your favorite storyline this offseason in the NFL, ah.

1337
01:12:52,400 --> 01:12:56,960
Speaker 4: Man, let's take it down to Jacksonville. Travis Hunter being

1338
01:12:57,240 --> 01:13:00,679
Speaker 4: a two way player in college highs and trophy women

1339
01:13:00,800 --> 01:13:05,000
Speaker 4: and now trying to electrify a a franchise in Jacksonville

1340
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:07,240
Speaker 4: that honestly hasn't had a lot to be excited about.

1341
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,840
Speaker 4: I think it's so cool. Every time I've talked with executives,

1342
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:12,840
Speaker 4: they know I touched Jacksonville a lot, and they want

1343
01:13:12,880 --> 01:13:15,519
Speaker 4: to hear about what's going on with Travis. How much

1344
01:13:15,520 --> 01:13:17,439
Speaker 4: offense is he really going to play? How much defense

1345
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:19,880
Speaker 4: is really going to play? You know, the Jags have

1346
01:13:19,920 --> 01:13:22,240
Speaker 4: been switching him off day on and day off with

1347
01:13:22,479 --> 01:13:24,720
Speaker 4: offense defense he does one each day. So there's like

1348
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:27,559
Speaker 4: a cool element of what jersey is he wearing today?

1349
01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 4: And he's been excellent so far, like as advertised, even

1350
01:13:31,479 --> 01:13:34,959
Speaker 4: playing less defense than offense, showing that natural playmaking ability.

1351
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,120
Speaker 4: It makes sense why Jacksonville made that Bowl move to

1352
01:13:38,160 --> 01:13:40,280
Speaker 4: trade up to number two and give up a first

1353
01:13:40,320 --> 01:13:42,920
Speaker 4: round pick to do it. So there's nobody who's done

1354
01:13:42,960 --> 01:13:45,240
Speaker 4: it the way that Travis wants to do it. But

1355
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:47,800
Speaker 4: I think this is a cool thing about our league

1356
01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:51,280
Speaker 4: having something that hasn't been done before trying to be done,

1357
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:52,599
Speaker 4: and I hope he does it. You know, I could

1358
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,400
Speaker 4: see him being a thousand yard receiver as a rookie

1359
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:57,760
Speaker 4: and catching a few picks on the defense side of

1360
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:00,800
Speaker 4: the ball. So I just think the rarity that has

1361
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,439
Speaker 4: made that the most intriguing storyline for me all off season.

1362
01:14:03,800 --> 01:14:06,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, good pick there, Cam. Thanks for the time. Enjoy

1363
01:14:06,560 --> 01:14:09,200
Speaker 1: whatever downtime you've got left, and we'll probably see you

1364
01:14:09,240 --> 01:14:10,960
Speaker 1: making the rounds of training camp. Appreciate it.

1365
01:14:11,680 --> 01:14:13,080
Speaker 4: Yes, indeed, I'll see you on camp.

1366
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:16,400
Speaker 1: All right, that's NFL Network national reporter Cameron Wolf joining us.

1367
01:14:16,439 --> 01:14:17,960
Speaker 1: We will take a break and be back with more

1368
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:20,080
Speaker 1: here on One Bills Live, presented by Collide Help.

1369
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:28,400
Speaker 9: It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

1370
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,160
Speaker 1: All right, back here on One Bill's Live. Good conversation

1371
01:14:33,240 --> 01:14:35,719
Speaker 1: there with Cameron Wolf. Glad he gave us some time.

1372
01:14:36,120 --> 01:14:37,960
Speaker 1: We want to get back to some of your questions

1373
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:39,760
Speaker 1: in the mail bag, and if you have any that

1374
01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:41,200
Speaker 1: you want to chime in on on the phone lines,

1375
01:14:41,200 --> 01:14:42,600
Speaker 1: feel free to do so. At eight h three oh

1376
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:46,320
Speaker 1: five fifty one, eighty eight, five fifty two, five fifty,

1377
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:49,479
Speaker 1: anything about the bills, the NFL, whatever's on your mind,

1378
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:54,599
Speaker 1: fire away, but Ed in the mail bag asks, oh no, sorry,

1379
01:14:54,600 --> 01:14:55,200
Speaker 1: we already did.

1380
01:14:55,280 --> 01:14:55,320
Speaker 7: Ed.

1381
01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:57,040
Speaker 1: We got to go to Joey, who asks of the

1382
01:14:57,080 --> 01:15:00,880
Speaker 1: two punters, as one shown more more talent than the

1383
01:15:00,920 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 1: other as far as holding for extra points and field goals,

1384
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:07,479
Speaker 1: the holding part of this does matter. I think we

1385
01:15:08,040 --> 01:15:13,840
Speaker 1: can agree on that. And I always wonder how much

1386
01:15:13,960 --> 01:15:20,200
Speaker 1: input the kicker has with the coaching staff on that subject,

1387
01:15:20,720 --> 01:15:26,000
Speaker 1: because I would imagine most special teams coordinators can discern

1388
01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:32,120
Speaker 1: from the film how consistent the punters are holding for

1389
01:15:32,200 --> 01:15:34,760
Speaker 1: the kicker, and how they like the ball tilted and

1390
01:15:34,840 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 1: all of that stuff. But I would imagine they check

1391
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:41,800
Speaker 1: in with the kicker too and say, hey, is one

1392
01:15:41,880 --> 01:15:43,400
Speaker 1: guy doing this a little bit better for you than

1393
01:15:43,400 --> 01:15:46,080
Speaker 1: the other? Makes you more comfortable? Because we know how

1394
01:15:46,200 --> 01:15:49,280
Speaker 1: squirrely kickers can go can get when you know things

1395
01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:52,840
Speaker 1: are not ideal. So I gotta believe Tyler bass is

1396
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:55,559
Speaker 1: getting asked by coach Taber like, Hey, what are you

1397
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:57,400
Speaker 1: comfortable with this guy? You're comfortable with that guy?

1398
01:15:57,520 --> 01:15:59,720
Speaker 3: Like he's got to ask that would make a lot

1399
01:15:59,720 --> 01:16:01,839
Speaker 3: of sense. And when Matthew Smiley was in the building

1400
01:16:01,880 --> 01:16:05,280
Speaker 3: as Buffalo's Special teams coordinator, he was asked this question

1401
01:16:05,320 --> 01:16:07,559
Speaker 3: when there was a punder competition going on, and I

1402
01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:11,360
Speaker 3: think Smiley said, you know, we do take that into account.

1403
01:16:11,360 --> 01:16:14,479
Speaker 3: Tyler Bass's opinion does matter. So to have a new

1404
01:16:14,479 --> 01:16:17,719
Speaker 3: special teams coordinator here who has been a special teams

1405
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:20,840
Speaker 3: coordinator for other teams, I would assume it's the same.

1406
01:16:20,920 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 3: And that's kind of how it works around the league,

1407
01:16:24,600 --> 01:16:26,680
Speaker 3: especially having a kicker here as long as you've had

1408
01:16:26,720 --> 01:16:30,120
Speaker 3: Tyler Bass like this is not necessarily a rookie kicker

1409
01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:32,320
Speaker 3: who is finding his way in the league. It's somebody

1410
01:16:32,360 --> 01:16:34,600
Speaker 3: who's been here for a good amount of time and

1411
01:16:34,680 --> 01:16:38,080
Speaker 3: has had success, and you want him to continue to

1412
01:16:38,200 --> 01:16:38,919
Speaker 3: have success.

1413
01:16:39,439 --> 01:16:42,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, But in the grand scheme of things, their number

1414
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 1: one job is punting. And I know you've probably seen

1415
01:16:46,479 --> 01:16:49,840
Speaker 1: more of the punting sessions than I have. From what

1416
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:52,799
Speaker 1: I have seen, it seems, at least on the surface,

1417
01:16:52,840 --> 01:16:56,080
Speaker 1: through the course of the spring that Brad Robbins has

1418
01:16:56,120 --> 01:17:01,440
Speaker 1: been a little bit more consistent with his punting than Jake. Obviously,

1419
01:17:01,479 --> 01:17:04,600
Speaker 1: there is training camp and the preseason, and really I

1420
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:06,880
Speaker 1: think the preseason is what is going to be the

1421
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:10,439
Speaker 1: opportunity for one of those guys to separate themselves from

1422
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:13,240
Speaker 1: the other. So we're a long way from that, but

1423
01:17:13,320 --> 01:17:15,120
Speaker 1: I think in the early going here in the spring,

1424
01:17:15,439 --> 01:17:18,439
Speaker 1: Robbins has been a little bit more consistent than Commarta.

1425
01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:19,200
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that?

1426
01:17:19,240 --> 01:17:21,120
Speaker 3: I would agree with that Robins has been the more

1427
01:17:21,200 --> 01:17:24,960
Speaker 3: consistent option out there. Robbins also personality wise, not that

1428
01:17:25,080 --> 01:17:28,720
Speaker 3: this makes the biggest difference, but he fits in very

1429
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,920
Speaker 3: well with Tyler Bass and read Ferguson Okay.

1430
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:35,679
Speaker 1: So something to note there. So yeah, it will be uh,

1431
01:17:36,200 --> 01:17:39,880
Speaker 1: probably not at the top of everyone's list, but there

1432
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:43,800
Speaker 1: is a competition at that position at training camp. Nonetheless,

1433
01:17:44,080 --> 01:17:45,720
Speaker 1: let's go back to the phones though at eight h

1434
01:17:45,720 --> 01:17:48,040
Speaker 1: three zero, five point fifty one eighty eight five point

1435
01:17:48,000 --> 01:17:50,799
Speaker 1: fifty two, five point fifty and too rich in cheek Towaga.

1436
01:17:50,840 --> 01:17:52,400
Speaker 1: What do you got for us? Richer on One Bill's Live.

1437
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,280
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, thanks for taking my calleure. I know Chris

1438
01:17:57,520 --> 01:18:00,599
Speaker 6: had said many times it's about first, second, or third players,

1439
01:18:00,640 --> 01:18:04,080
Speaker 6: but if Curtis Samuel can have a big year for us,

1440
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,960
Speaker 6: that would make our wide receiver room. Great.

1441
01:18:08,840 --> 01:18:11,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with you on that only because

1442
01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:15,559
Speaker 1: of what we witnessed from Curtis towards the end of

1443
01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:20,200
Speaker 1: the season, when we saw when he was finally healthy,

1444
01:18:21,120 --> 01:18:23,439
Speaker 1: what he could do within the scope of the offense.

1445
01:18:23,479 --> 01:18:25,640
Speaker 1: I think he had two touchdowns against the Chiefs won

1446
01:18:25,680 --> 01:18:27,680
Speaker 1: in the regular season game. I know he had the

1447
01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:31,280
Speaker 1: go ahead touchdown late in the game in the AFC

1448
01:18:31,320 --> 01:18:31,880
Speaker 1: title game.

1449
01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:32,160
Speaker 5: Yep.

1450
01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 1: When the games got bigger and he was healthy, I

1451
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:42,040
Speaker 1: felt he got better. So I'm really optimistic that a

1452
01:18:42,080 --> 01:18:45,800
Speaker 1: healthy Curtis Samuel can give them a lot more than

1453
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:49,479
Speaker 1: we saw from him in year one. And the reason

1454
01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 1: I feel that way is because of what we saw

1455
01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:53,320
Speaker 1: from him down the stretch.

1456
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:57,360
Speaker 3: I talked with him on the final camp, final day

1457
01:18:57,400 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 3: of mandatory mini camp, coming off the field and just said, Hey,

1458
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:02,559
Speaker 3: do you have a second at chat. I just want

1459
01:19:02,600 --> 01:19:04,880
Speaker 3: to talk about how this year has been for you

1460
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:07,519
Speaker 3: compared to your first year here. And he seemed so

1461
01:19:07,680 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 3: much more at ease with everything this time around, saying

1462
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 3: that at this point last year he was just figuring

1463
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:17,519
Speaker 3: out the offense and trying to understand what his role

1464
01:19:17,560 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 3: would be in Joe Brady's offense, and now he knows

1465
01:19:21,840 --> 01:19:24,599
Speaker 3: what that is and he is healthy. He said that's

1466
01:19:24,720 --> 01:19:28,559
Speaker 3: been a huge difference, is just existing as a wide

1467
01:19:28,560 --> 01:19:32,880
Speaker 3: receiver in Buffalo's offense is obviously way better when you're healthy.

1468
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:35,960
Speaker 3: And he said he's able to do more now that

1469
01:19:36,040 --> 01:19:40,360
Speaker 3: he's feeling better, and it's excited for what his role

1470
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 3: will be this year. We heard Joe Brady say so

1471
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:46,000
Speaker 3: many times last year, and probably while Curtis Samuel was

1472
01:19:46,040 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 3: injured and we weren't aware of all of that, but

1473
01:19:48,920 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 3: just protecting Curtis Samuel and saying I have to get

1474
01:19:52,800 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 3: Curtis more involved in this offense. It's not on Curtis Samuel.

1475
01:19:56,320 --> 01:19:59,680
Speaker 3: It's on me, the offensive coordinator to find ways to

1476
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:03,000
Speaker 3: get Samuel involved in the offense. And I believe they

1477
01:20:03,040 --> 01:20:05,679
Speaker 3: want to continue to do that and do it even

1478
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:09,640
Speaker 3: more this season. That's somebody that defenses didn't really have

1479
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 3: to scheme for last season. That's somebody that you can

1480
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:15,960
Speaker 3: use as a weapon where teams are not super prepared

1481
01:20:16,000 --> 01:20:16,400
Speaker 3: for him.

1482
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:18,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I forgot he had a good performance against

1483
01:20:18,880 --> 01:20:21,160
Speaker 1: Denver in the wild card game. Three catches, sixty eight

1484
01:20:21,240 --> 01:20:23,880
Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown there, So I mean the guy

1485
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,000
Speaker 1: I think he if he didn't have the lead. He

1486
01:20:27,080 --> 01:20:29,360
Speaker 1: tied for the team lead and playoff touchdowns in the

1487
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,439
Speaker 1: passing game in the three postseason games with two. So

1488
01:20:34,600 --> 01:20:39,919
Speaker 1: I was encouraged by what he gave this team when healthy,

1489
01:20:39,960 --> 01:20:43,040
Speaker 1: and I think that will only grow. So, you know,

1490
01:20:43,600 --> 01:20:48,400
Speaker 1: to rich his point, I think if he can be healthy,

1491
01:20:49,520 --> 01:20:52,559
Speaker 1: he can be better. It's it's not an it's not

1492
01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a question of if. To me, it's just a matter

1493
01:20:57,120 --> 01:21:00,759
Speaker 1: of is he healthy? Because I think if he's healthy,

1494
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:04,760
Speaker 1: he will be productive. I don't have any question about that.

1495
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:08,400
Speaker 1: The question we have is can he stay healthy, and

1496
01:21:08,439 --> 01:21:11,839
Speaker 1: that's the most important thing for his level of success

1497
01:21:11,880 --> 01:21:16,320
Speaker 1: and level of contribution to this football team this season.

1498
01:21:16,680 --> 01:21:20,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, good person to bring up for sure. So

1499
01:21:20,760 --> 01:21:26,520
Speaker 1: that was a good call there. Joshua on the Mailbag

1500
01:21:26,720 --> 01:21:29,920
Speaker 1: asks do you think Landon Jackson is going to be

1501
01:21:29,960 --> 01:21:33,240
Speaker 1: a three down defensive end starting opposite of Rousseau while

1502
01:21:33,240 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 1: Epanessa and Bosa will be the pass rush specialists as

1503
01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,160
Speaker 1: a rookie, I would be very surprised if he is that.

1504
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:42,960
Speaker 1: I think in two or three years he could be that.

1505
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:47,639
Speaker 1: I kind of similar I see him on a similar

1506
01:21:47,720 --> 01:21:50,800
Speaker 1: trajectory to that of Greg Russo because I think there

1507
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:55,479
Speaker 1: are some similarities to their games, and we see the

1508
01:21:55,520 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 1: growth and maturation in Rousseau, who I think this year

1509
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:04,760
Speaker 1: may finally be a double digit sack defensive end. That

1510
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,840
Speaker 1: was a guy who was a one year starter in

1511
01:22:07,920 --> 01:22:10,360
Speaker 1: college and missed a whole season when he chose to

1512
01:22:10,360 --> 01:22:13,320
Speaker 1: sit out for the COVID year, then comes to the NFL,

1513
01:22:13,920 --> 01:22:18,120
Speaker 1: then doesn't have a real full training camp because they

1514
01:22:18,120 --> 01:22:20,880
Speaker 1: were still under COVID rules when he got here in

1515
01:22:20,960 --> 01:22:26,280
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one. So I think the ramp up to

1516
01:22:26,360 --> 01:22:31,479
Speaker 1: his professional career was very stunted, and so I think

1517
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 1: that's why the progress, though we have seen steady progress

1518
01:22:36,160 --> 01:22:41,000
Speaker 1: from Rousseau, hasn't been like a sharp spike. It's been

1519
01:22:41,040 --> 01:22:45,439
Speaker 1: more of a gradual improvement every year. I think Landon

1520
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:49,720
Speaker 1: Jackson has a better chance to improve quicker on his

1521
01:22:49,840 --> 01:22:52,920
Speaker 1: trajectory because he has more time on the field in college,

1522
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:56,840
Speaker 1: and I think because of that last year, yeah, And

1523
01:22:57,080 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 1: because of that, I think it's going to serve him

1524
01:22:59,160 --> 01:23:02,080
Speaker 1: better as he works his way into the line up

1525
01:23:02,120 --> 01:23:05,360
Speaker 1: here in Buffalo. But a three down player as a rookie,

1526
01:23:05,439 --> 01:23:08,200
Speaker 1: I don't see that because I just think there's too

1527
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:11,960
Speaker 1: much veteran talent here, he's gonna I think he's gonna

1528
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,519
Speaker 1: be competing directly with AJ for time on the field,

1529
01:23:14,960 --> 01:23:18,680
Speaker 1: primarily on base downs like first down, second down, and

1530
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:20,280
Speaker 1: I think Bosa is gonna be on the field with

1531
01:23:20,360 --> 01:23:21,479
Speaker 1: Rousseau on third down.

1532
01:23:21,280 --> 01:23:21,960
Speaker 4: On the edge there.

1533
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:25,160
Speaker 3: I believe they want Landon Jackson to become a third

1534
01:23:25,200 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 3: down player. Listen to this quote from Bobby Babbage about

1535
01:23:28,960 --> 01:23:32,280
Speaker 3: Landon Jackson and why they drafted him. Babbage said, we

1536
01:23:32,439 --> 01:23:34,639
Speaker 3: definitely wanted to make sure that there was a size

1537
01:23:34,720 --> 01:23:36,920
Speaker 3: piece to what we were trying to do. And then

1538
01:23:36,960 --> 01:23:39,439
Speaker 3: it starts with the type of person he is. Landon

1539
01:23:39,560 --> 01:23:42,639
Speaker 3: is a true professional, mature beyond his years. And then really,

1540
01:23:42,680 --> 01:23:45,439
Speaker 3: when it comes down to it, what we were looking

1541
01:23:45,439 --> 01:23:47,080
Speaker 3: for when you talk about the run game in the

1542
01:23:47,080 --> 01:23:50,760
Speaker 3: past game was being a three down defensive end. So

1543
01:23:50,840 --> 01:23:53,960
Speaker 3: that's what they want him to turn into. We're not

1544
01:23:54,000 --> 01:23:57,960
Speaker 3: gonna put those types of expect expectations on a rookie,

1545
01:23:58,320 --> 01:24:00,960
Speaker 3: but in a few years from now, I think that's

1546
01:24:00,960 --> 01:24:01,720
Speaker 3: what they want him to be.

1547
01:24:01,960 --> 01:24:04,559
Speaker 1: And if he's on a fast track, that could happen

1548
01:24:04,560 --> 01:24:06,880
Speaker 1: as soon as next year. Because let's not forget this.

1549
01:24:07,320 --> 01:24:12,480
Speaker 1: You've got AJ Epenessa, and you have Joey Bosa essentially

1550
01:24:12,640 --> 01:24:15,080
Speaker 1: on one year contracts Epinessa in the last year of

1551
01:24:15,080 --> 01:24:17,360
Speaker 1: a two year extension and Bosa here on a one

1552
01:24:17,439 --> 01:24:20,599
Speaker 1: year deal. You get to twenty twenty six, you need somebody.

1553
01:24:20,720 --> 01:24:23,840
Speaker 1: Are those guys even still here anymore? And that could

1554
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:27,120
Speaker 1: open the door if he has a promising rookie season

1555
01:24:27,200 --> 01:24:31,000
Speaker 1: to really step into a major three down roll as

1556
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,320
Speaker 1: soon as next year. Let's squeeze in Dave and Buffalo

1557
01:24:34,360 --> 01:24:35,800
Speaker 1: here before the break. What do you got for us?

1558
01:24:35,880 --> 01:24:38,800
Speaker 10: Dave, thanks for daving my call. Sure m, I've put

1559
01:24:38,840 --> 01:24:43,040
Speaker 10: a mailback question. Last year, everybody Eats was a great

1560
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:45,280
Speaker 10: theme for the offense, and now that we've got a

1561
01:24:45,280 --> 01:24:47,840
Speaker 10: new defense, I wonder what you guys think the new

1562
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,799
Speaker 10: theme is. And maybe when you guys come back from vacation,

1563
01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:52,960
Speaker 10: you can't even have a question of today to get

1564
01:24:53,040 --> 01:24:55,120
Speaker 10: to destinate people. What the new theme is going to be?

1565
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,639
Speaker 1: Something that came to mind for me. It's pretty simple

1566
01:24:58,680 --> 01:25:02,760
Speaker 1: and straightforward and it's just one word, but hunt. That

1567
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:05,559
Speaker 1: to me would be a theme for the defense this

1568
01:25:05,680 --> 01:25:10,000
Speaker 1: year because they want their pass rush to take a

1569
01:25:10,120 --> 01:25:13,680
Speaker 1: giant leap forward from where it was last year. And

1570
01:25:13,720 --> 01:25:16,160
Speaker 1: you do that by hunting down the quarterback. So I

1571
01:25:16,200 --> 01:25:18,600
Speaker 1: would say hunt could be a good theme, especially for

1572
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:23,000
Speaker 1: the front seven. That doesn't necessarily apply to the guys

1573
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:26,480
Speaker 1: on the back end, and hopefully they're not being utilized

1574
01:25:26,560 --> 01:25:29,080
Speaker 1: much in the pass rush. I mean, yes, you have

1575
01:25:29,200 --> 01:25:32,800
Speaker 1: them involved in schemes in a given game plan, so

1576
01:25:32,840 --> 01:25:35,400
Speaker 1: you have a blitz coming from somewhere that the opponent

1577
01:25:35,439 --> 01:25:38,680
Speaker 1: doesn't expect. But I'm hoping the vast majority of their

1578
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:42,040
Speaker 1: pass rush success is coming from their front four and

1579
01:25:42,120 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 1: occasionally other people being deployed in different rush packages. But

1580
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:50,200
Speaker 1: to me, like the theme this year is hunt, Hunt

1581
01:25:50,240 --> 01:25:52,160
Speaker 1: the damn quarterback and get them on the ground.

1582
01:25:52,600 --> 01:25:55,800
Speaker 3: Get after the quarterback, is what I would say. I

1583
01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,240
Speaker 3: spoke with Larry Ogin Joby on the final day of

1584
01:25:58,280 --> 01:26:01,240
Speaker 3: mandatory Mini camp and Oka, and Joby said he feels

1585
01:26:01,240 --> 01:26:04,880
Speaker 3: like this defense fits his play style better because they

1586
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:07,559
Speaker 3: want him to get up the field and make plays

1587
01:26:07,680 --> 01:26:09,520
Speaker 3: that means getting after the quarterback.

1588
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:12,599
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotta take a break here. Some final thoughts from

1589
01:26:12,720 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 1: the mail bag. Final questions from the mailbag. When we

1590
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:17,280
Speaker 1: get back here. On One Bill's Live presented by Colida Health,

1591
01:26:17,320 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 1: It's Buffalo Bill's Radio. All right, one final question out

1592
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:36,519
Speaker 1: of the obl fan mail bag here a day early

1593
01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:38,360
Speaker 1: than we usually do the fan mail bag because this

1594
01:26:38,400 --> 01:26:41,519
Speaker 1: is getaway day for us before some time off here

1595
01:26:41,640 --> 01:26:45,000
Speaker 1: during the July fourth week, and it comes from Jacob.

1596
01:26:45,080 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 1: Since the Bills are not in line for a compic

1597
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: in the twenty sixth draft, do you foresee them trading

1598
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,439
Speaker 1: depth at a position such as offensive line or trading

1599
01:26:53,439 --> 01:26:56,639
Speaker 1: a higher priced veteran for a draft pick next year?

1600
01:26:57,080 --> 01:26:59,760
Speaker 1: I would not rule it out. I think if the

1601
01:26:59,760 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 1: Bill Bills get through training camp and the preseason in

1602
01:27:04,080 --> 01:27:08,040
Speaker 1: a pretty healthy state, I think that enhances the chances

1603
01:27:08,080 --> 01:27:10,840
Speaker 1: of something like that happening. Because what Brandon Bean would

1604
01:27:10,880 --> 01:27:14,160
Speaker 1: hate to do is lop somebody off the roster, be

1605
01:27:14,280 --> 01:27:16,479
Speaker 1: unable to protect them on the practice squad where you

1606
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 1: can only protect up to four players from being poached,

1607
01:27:19,880 --> 01:27:23,000
Speaker 1: and lose a player that's capable of starting on another

1608
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:28,760
Speaker 1: team without getting any compensation. He loathes that. So you know,

1609
01:27:28,760 --> 01:27:30,479
Speaker 1: you say, well, who could that be? That could be

1610
01:27:30,520 --> 01:27:33,800
Speaker 1: a player at a position of uncommon depth, whether that's

1611
01:27:33,960 --> 01:27:38,439
Speaker 1: offensive tackle, defensive end, Like, there are positions where the

1612
01:27:38,479 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 1: Bills have an embarrassment of riches and if one of

1613
01:27:42,640 --> 01:27:45,559
Speaker 1: those players is not going to make the roster because

1614
01:27:45,560 --> 01:27:48,200
Speaker 1: you can't make the numbers work, but you know they're

1615
01:27:48,240 --> 01:27:50,400
Speaker 1: capable of starting in this league or playing on a

1616
01:27:50,400 --> 01:27:53,519
Speaker 1: fifty three man roster in this league, it behooves you

1617
01:27:53,720 --> 01:27:57,280
Speaker 1: to trade that player to get a future asset, namely

1618
01:27:57,320 --> 01:28:02,240
Speaker 1: a draft pick to keep your rock. You're healthy, strong, deep,

1619
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,960
Speaker 1: and you can't you can't do that when you cut

1620
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:06,160
Speaker 1: it to fifty three. It's hard.

1621
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:08,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would look to the offensive line. That's a

1622
01:28:08,880 --> 01:28:12,120
Speaker 3: position group right now that has so much depth. They

1623
01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:14,479
Speaker 3: had good depth last year as well. Thankfully, that was

1624
01:28:14,479 --> 01:28:16,960
Speaker 3: a group that was very healthy last year. That's why

1625
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,000
Speaker 3: they were able to play up to the level that

1626
01:28:20,040 --> 01:28:23,320
Speaker 3: they did, allowing a league low in sacks with fourteen.

1627
01:28:23,800 --> 01:28:26,719
Speaker 3: So maybe that's a position group that Brandon Bean would

1628
01:28:26,720 --> 01:28:29,719
Speaker 3: look at in terms of trying to get draft picks

1629
01:28:29,720 --> 01:28:31,600
Speaker 3: for next year. But we'll have to see as we

1630
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:32,599
Speaker 3: go through training camp.

1631
01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:35,960
Speaker 1: Okay, so now the big question for fourth of July

1632
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:40,320
Speaker 1: holiday m hm or I think I know the answer

1633
01:28:40,360 --> 01:28:44,040
Speaker 1: to this, and it might be neither, because you are

1634
01:28:44,160 --> 01:28:48,280
Speaker 1: one of the healthiest eaders I know. Hamburger or hot

1635
01:28:48,320 --> 01:28:52,559
Speaker 1: Dog on fourth of July do you allow yourself any I.

1636
01:28:52,439 --> 01:28:54,840
Speaker 3: Do like that. I do like burgers. Hot dogs I

1637
01:28:54,880 --> 01:28:57,920
Speaker 3: think are gross. Yeah, well no thanks, I'm gonna stay

1638
01:28:57,920 --> 01:28:58,679
Speaker 3: away from a hot dogs.

1639
01:28:58,680 --> 01:29:02,600
Speaker 1: I mean, Chicagoan's like a good brat every now I

1640
01:29:03,439 --> 01:29:05,559
Speaker 1: will do a So, are brot's known to be healthier

1641
01:29:05,560 --> 01:29:06,280
Speaker 1: than hot dogs?

1642
01:29:07,320 --> 01:29:09,439
Speaker 3: That's a good question, I would think, so, I thought

1643
01:29:09,880 --> 01:29:11,840
Speaker 3: the answer. I would think, so, I don't. I feel

1644
01:29:11,840 --> 01:29:16,200
Speaker 3: like hot dogs are just like jumbled up mush. Yeah, staway, we.

1645
01:29:16,200 --> 01:29:18,280
Speaker 1: Don't want to know how the hot dog is made. Yeah,

1646
01:29:18,280 --> 01:29:20,240
Speaker 1: I'm a burger guy as well all the way. As

1647
01:29:20,240 --> 01:29:22,200
Speaker 1: a matter of fact, Steve and I were doing this

1648
01:29:22,320 --> 01:29:27,519
Speaker 1: exercise like five meats and which goes thrown overboard, and

1649
01:29:27,560 --> 01:29:31,280
Speaker 1: I think it was like ribs and Burger's steak another thing,

1650
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:33,400
Speaker 1: and I was like, I already know what's the only

1651
01:29:33,439 --> 01:29:35,599
Speaker 1: thing I would live with, and that would be a burger. Yes,

1652
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:36,400
Speaker 1: over everything.

1653
01:29:36,479 --> 01:29:36,639
Speaker 5: Yep.

1654
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 1: So enjoy your Fourth of July holiday people, because we're

1655
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,760
Speaker 1: not going to be back for a while. We'll be

1656
01:29:41,840 --> 01:29:44,519
Speaker 1: back July seventh, that's when one Bill's Live. We'll be
