Speaker 2: You're all ready for the TV set. So thanks for

13
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:10,880
Speaker 2: joining us. I guess first and foremost, we've got to

14
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 2: kind of ask you because we haven't a chance to

15
00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 2: talk to you, let alone meet you.

16
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 3: We're like meeting you like ten seconds ago.

17
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:20,160
Speaker 2: How how has this whole preseason process gone for you

18
00:01:20,240 --> 00:01:22,679
Speaker 2: as you've gotten acclimated to Buffalo and your teammates here.

19
00:01:23,319 --> 00:01:25,800
Speaker 4: It's definitely it's been exciting, you know, up and down

20
00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 4: at times, but you know that's just what it is.

21
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:29,840
Speaker 4: And it's a lot different from college as a lot

22
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 4: of people always ask me what's the difference and understanding

23
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 4: the meetings, understanding you know, you want to be perfect

24
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,440
Speaker 4: on the field a lot, and just trying to get

25
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,280
Speaker 4: through the motions of trying to be around the vets

26
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 4: and understanding the routine. And I think that's something I've

27
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,959
Speaker 4: really been trying to do, is build that routine, find

28
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: myself as an individual, as a player and as a

29
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,120
Speaker 4: person and just going in there and having fun.

30
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:49,280
Speaker 5: Give us the style and you know, the coaching staff

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 5: it's a little different, a little higher level. You know,

32
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 5: communication is a thing. Now, give us a little idea

33
00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 5: of what the room's like with you know, cooking there

34
00:01:57,440 --> 00:02:00,280
Speaker 5: you in there with Ty Johnson in there, you know

35
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:01,120
Speaker 5: all those.

36
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,800
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, no, we got some really good guys.

37
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 4: I mean, like you said, Tye, we got James, we

38
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,520
Speaker 4: got Frank, we got DF So it's a really good guy,

39
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 4: good group of guys, and we all bring difference at

40
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:11,640
Speaker 4: the skill. You know, when you get to watch James

41
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,079
Speaker 4: just go to work each and every day, you pick

42
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,240
Speaker 4: a lot of stuff out of his game, and same

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:17,880
Speaker 4: thing with Ty. But it's a very communicative room where

44
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 4: those guys are giving us young guys feedback and we're

45
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,639
Speaker 4: just learning and adapting and you know, taking it day

46
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:23,040
Speaker 4: by day.

47
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 2: Player interview appearances on One Bill's Live are presented by

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:27,840

Speaker 3: Tim Hortons the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills. Ray.

50
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 2: I don't know how many Bills fans know your inspiring

51
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 2: story of perseverance all through your upbringing a huge family.

52
00:02:41,720 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 3: Ton of siblings.

53
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,239
Speaker 2: But you kind of came through the foster care system

54
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:49,679
Speaker 2: and then kind of created your own opportunity to come

55
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,960
Speaker 2: east in high school.

56
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 3: But that was a process, right, because you had to

57
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 3: get clearance from the state of California. Might right, California.

58
00:02:57,720 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: You had to get clearance from the state of California

59
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 2: just to come eat us, to come to play you know,

60
00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:04,440
Speaker 2: high school football. Yeah, right, Like maybe just walk us

61
00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:06,399
Speaker 2: through how that all transpired.

62
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, being in the false care system,

63
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:11,239
Speaker 4: you can't really leave the state without the permission of

64
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 4: the state. And you know, while you're wire a miner,

65
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 4: and I was awarded the state at that time. So

66
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 4: just having the opportunity to go visit the school that

67
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,480
Speaker 4: I eventually ended up going to, we actually did it,

68
00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:24,360
Speaker 4: like we weren't allowed to. My foster parent at that time, Laura,

69
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,280
Speaker 4: she wasn't allowed to, but you know, we wanted to

70
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 4: really see what the opportunity was given. So when we

71
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:30,440
Speaker 4: did it, we win and I fell in love with it.

72
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: And it was about really just understand getting the rest

73
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:36,080
Speaker 4: of the system and the foster con system, understand that

74
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 4: now a lot of kids in my position to have

75
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 4: this opportunity to go to boarding school and just change

76
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:41,160
Speaker 4: their whole life.

77
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 6: So it was a lot of fighting.

78
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 4: It was a lot of battling, but you know, with

79
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 4: the support that I had from the people that were

80
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 4: around me, we really we were able to persevere and

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 4: make it through, and my dad got full custody in me,

82
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 4: and I think within like the next week, I ended

83
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 4: up flying out and going there.

84
00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 5: That's it had to be kind of a for you

85
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 5: transition because of going there and having to do the

86
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:06,880
Speaker 5: transition to the NFL might be a little bit smoother

87
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 5: for you the other guys for a lot of reasons.

88
00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:10,720
Speaker 6: For sure.

89
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, for me personally, just about just

90
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 4: persevering and getting through all that adversary that I've been

91
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 4: through in life and coming into a business like the

92
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 4: NFL where it's going to be a lot of ups

93
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 4: and downs and highs and lows and how do one

94
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,039
Speaker 4: you know, react and handle those situations. So for me,

95
00:04:25,080 --> 00:04:27,440
Speaker 4: I try to look at life as again, never too big,

96
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,040
Speaker 4: never too small, and to try to take it day

97
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:30,160
Speaker 4: by day because you know.

98
00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:31,440
Speaker 6: Truthfully, I'm blessed to be here.

99
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 4: I'm blessed to have this opportunity to just be playing

100
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 4: this game and to see where I came from being

101
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 4: a kid who was you know, in these shelters and

102
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:41,560
Speaker 4: living with different families and having to really pave away

103
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,040
Speaker 4: from myself to now being part of a one percent

104
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,479
Speaker 4: that not a lot of people get to make it.

105
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,920
Speaker 2: So I'm proud, yeah, And I think the best part

106
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:51,080
Speaker 2: is I just saw it on Twitter today that you're

107
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 2: joining Big Brothers and Big Sisters of America's Game Changers program.

108
00:04:56,240 --> 00:05:00,919
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, you are a shining example of

109
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 2: perseverance coming through that system. I imagine this is your

110
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 2: willingness and want to to give back here right.

111
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: A thousand percent, you know, being able to be a

112
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,480
Speaker 4: part of the Game Changers we staying now today has

113
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 4: been just want a blessing, but too just a great

114
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 4: opportunity to give back to the community, a great opportunity

115
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 4: to be a big in the future, to be able

116
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 4: to mentor you know, a big a little brother or

117
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,680
Speaker 4: little sister, just to show them that this is this

118
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 4: there is an opportunity to make something of yourself and

119
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Speaker 4: also at the same time, there is an opportunity to

120
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 4: achieve your dreams and to be able to have somebody

121
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,080
Speaker 4: look up to me, not just like my siblings, but

122
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:32,720
Speaker 4: someone else.

123
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 6: You know. It's it's great.

124
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 4: It's a great feeling to have, but it's also a

125
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 4: lot of pressure because you want to put you want

126
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 4: to be able to show them that there is a

127
00:05:40,680 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 4: way and you can achieve if you really put your

128
00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 4: mind through it.

129
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,400
Speaker 1: So I know what it is a young player coming

130
00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,240
Speaker 1: into the league. It is there. You do feel a

131
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of pressure.

132
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:50,880
Speaker 5: You know, a lot of people for the journey you've

133
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 5: been on, the sacrifice you made, and you don't want

134
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:54,120
Speaker 5: to see it end.

135
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 1: But it also looks like it's a lot of fun.

136
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, it is. It's fun.

137
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 4: Like I always tell people, and I got the weight

138
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 4: of the world on my shoulders, and I've been having

139
00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,680
Speaker 4: that feeling since I was eight and since I was twelve,

140
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 4: you know, when being at the age I am now

141
00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,520
Speaker 4: understand that having all that weight sometimes add a lot

142
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 4: of motivation.

143
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 6: And that's the fun part about it, is you strong.

144
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,080
Speaker 6: It makes you strong.

145
00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: But you get to go out there and just play

146
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 4: your game and play something you played your whole life.

147
00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 4: And I think that's the fun part about it, is

148
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 4: like I'm doing what I was doing as a kid

149
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:23,680
Speaker 4: to escape.

150
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 6: From the reality of what I was going through. Now

151
00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 6: I get to do it as a job.

152
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:27,960
Speaker 4: I get to come in here each and every morning

153
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:30,359
Speaker 4: and live out a dream that I've recently kind of

154
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 4: just had in my college days. I mean, you really

155
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 4: can't complain, you can't get upset, and like I said,

156
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,800
Speaker 4: when the days are hard, you just got to look

157
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 4: at yourself, smile on the mirror and say, this is

158
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 4: truly where you want it to be, be where your

159
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 4: feet are, and be glad.

160
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:46,280
Speaker 2: You're the only person in FBS history to accumulate a

161
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 2: thousand rushing yards at three different schools. Did it at Temple, Vanderbilt,

162
00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,640
Speaker 2: last year at Kentucky. Only guy to ever do that.

163
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 2: My question, though, is having moved from system to system,

164
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 2: how much easier has it made you picking up this

165
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: system here with the bills you had to do it

166
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: two other times before you even got here.

167
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, Kentucky was a lot easy, just because my offensive

168
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: coordinator wasn't NFL coordinator. You know, he came from the

169
00:07:11,720 --> 00:07:13,239
Speaker 4: Rams and he did a sting at Kentucky.

170
00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 6: Yeah, Cohen. So that was a huge motivation factor for.

171
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: Me to go to Kentucky just so I can learn

172
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,520
Speaker 4: an NFL type of offense and understand that the IQ

173
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: of the game. But the other two my freshman year,

174
00:07:26,040 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 4: it was, it was it was a lot different. I

175
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: came from a triple option offense where it was just

176
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 4: hit the ball and run, So you had.

177
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:32,840
Speaker 6: To learn the front. You had to learn a lot

178
00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 6: of things.

179
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 4: And I would say I truly learned football at Vanderbilt though,

180
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 4: just being in at a program like that where we

181
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 4: had to persevere and we you know, we had to

182
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 4: fight for just the respect for guys to nobody respected

183
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:45,960
Speaker 4: us at that time. So it was about just going

184
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 4: in and having to understand that you have to be

185
00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,160
Speaker 4: physically and mentally tougher than a lot of your opponents.

186
00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:51,520
Speaker 6: And it was about learning the game.

187
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:52,360
Speaker 1: So what do you think.

188
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 5: You look around the locker room now and this is

189
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520
Speaker 5: you know, this is a good football team. You're on now,

190
00:07:56,680 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 5: you give us an idea of your thoughts about the

191
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,960
Speaker 5: guys you're playing with and than what they're saying about

192
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 5: this year and where they're headed.

193
00:08:02,440 --> 00:08:04,360
Speaker 6: H I love the guys I'm playing with.

194
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,800
Speaker 4: You know, when you walk into a locker room, you

195
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 4: get to go to battle and go to war with

196
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 4: it with another guy who's trying to prove themselves and

197
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,160
Speaker 4: make a name for themselves. I mean, you always love

198
00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 4: that because they pull a type of aggression and energy

199
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,600
Speaker 4: out of you. I think being around the guys, like

200
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 4: I said, my running back room, Tye and James and

201
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:23,680
Speaker 4: DV and Frank, like I want to compete with them

202
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,320
Speaker 4: each and every day to get better myself, but I

203
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:27,440
Speaker 4: want to push them, those guys to get better and

204
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: then understand that when you have a great quarterback like

205
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 4: Josh who's going to push you to succeed and know

206
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:33,920
Speaker 4: the things you need to know, I think that also

207
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 4: makes me want to go out there and just grind

208
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,560
Speaker 4: even hard for him and just the rest of the

209
00:08:38,600 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: guys we got just to earn their respect. That was

210
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 4: something that was very big for me to come in

211
00:08:42,520 --> 00:08:44,720
Speaker 4: and just aron that respect and prove to them that,

212
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 4: you know, I belong here and I can't play ball.

213
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:49,240
Speaker 2: So I know you're not gonna want to get too

214
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,319
Speaker 2: far ahead of yourself because you've got a preseason game,

215
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,320
Speaker 2: you know, coming up this weekend. But come week one

216
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:57,760
Speaker 2: or the regular season, how much family is going to

217
00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:01,080
Speaker 2: be coming in to watch a pro debut here? I

218
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:04,440
Speaker 2: mean your dad, maybe, maybe your foster parents, you know,

219
00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:07,160
Speaker 2: before your dad got reawarded custody and all that stuff.

220
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,600
Speaker 2: Like what kind of family might be coming in come

221
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: regular season time?

222
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:13,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of family came in college, so this

223
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:15,640
Speaker 4: time around, I actually told the family that it was

224
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,560
Speaker 4: going to be a short list that I just want

225
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 4: to focus on just playing and just having fun and

226
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 4: process and not getting distracted. And like I said, thank

227
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 4: god we got TVs because those flights from California all

228
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 4: the way.

229
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:27,840
Speaker 6: To Buffalo, New York is Yeah.

230
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: It ain't cheap.

231
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 6: It ain't cheap, I know.

232
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah right, that's kind of cool too, though. You

233
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 5: got to get because one of the transitions you have

234
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 5: to make is you kind of on your own. Now

235
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 5: you don't have a dorm to go live in a college.

236
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,160
Speaker 5: You got to you kind of got to get your

237
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 5: own place. You got to find your own way of

238
00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 5: doing it, a support system off the field. How's it?

239
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,880
Speaker 5: What's your thoughts about? You know, where you're headed. You

240
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:50,360
Speaker 5: could be a you could be here in Buffalo for

241
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 5: a decade, you don't know.

242
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, right, it's I think, you know, walking into practice

243
00:09:56,920 --> 00:09:58,679
Speaker 4: each and every day, I have that mindset that you know,

244
00:09:58,679 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 4: I think the day, I got to just go out

245
00:09:59,880 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: there and play like I'm going to be here for

246
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,520
Speaker 4: the rest of my life. You know, if I start

247
00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 4: to have any type of doubts or any type of uncertainty,

248
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: then that creeps into just a confident level that you have.

249
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 4: So you got to be able to walk into a

250
00:10:10,160 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 4: building or any place, whether you have a job and

251
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 4: you've been there for two weeks, you got to walk

252
00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 4: in there like you've been there for five years. You

253
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 4: got to be able to have that comfort level. So

254
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 4: that's something I've been able to do, is just walk

255
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 4: in and be confident that, you know, I hope that

256
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 4: I'm here for the next couple of years. I'm hoping

257
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 4: here for the year, whatever the case may be. It's

258
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: about just being where my feet is and enjoying the process.

259
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,760

272
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 4: And you know, that's just somebody I've always looked up

273
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:19,400
Speaker 4: to growing up. He was able to come back to

274
00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:21,360
Speaker 4: the Raiders and you saw what he did for that

275
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 4: and and obviously he was here in Buffalo for a

276
00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:23,800

280
00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,920

Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, just a little bit.

282
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 4: I always I try to mix it up but uh,

283
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: it's crazy during the draft process to be able to

284
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 4: be compared to one of the all time great to

285
00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 4: my opinion, and to be able to play with his

286
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 4: son is even more crazy. But Frank, you know, Frank Gore,

287
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 4: I've heard some comparisons there, and you can't you can't

288
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 4: compare it to a legendary guy like that.

289
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,040
Speaker 6: But you know, I was. I was happy to hear

290
00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:56,439

299
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 2: August twenty fourth, the Buffalo Bills will welcome the Carolina

300
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:21,080
Speaker 2: Panthers for their last home preseason matchup at one pm.

301
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,199
Speaker 2: Kid's Day is presented by Fisher Price. Is the perfect

302
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 2: time to enjoy a Bills game with the whole family,

303
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: starting at nine am in the bus and limo lot

304
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 2: at high Mark Stadium. Festivities kickoff with a Junior tailgate

305
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:40,439
Speaker 2: at nine am, which we'll have games, activities, and giveaways

306
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 2: along with a dance party hosted by DJ Milk. It

307
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: is a must see experience this year, and there will

308
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 2: be an expanded power wheels track and photo opportunity with

309
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 2: Bill's mascot, Billy Buffalo, as well as fun games and

310
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,080
Speaker 2: activities for all ages, and you'll probably see Ray Davis

311
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,360
Speaker 2: running around out there on I would think he would

312
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 2: get some time, maybe not a lot, because I think

313
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 2: he's firmly in their regular season plans. So you know, yeah,

314
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 2: maybe guys like Frank Orr and Darrenton Evans get a

315
00:13:11,200 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 2: little more time than he does.

316
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:17,080
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think in this game, the less time

317
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 5: you get, the more positive it reflects on you. Right,

318
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 5: That's I think that's where I'm at. So, yeah, he

319
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:27,920
Speaker 5: may get some time in there, not much, but there's

320
00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:29,480
Speaker 5: not that many guys to throw in there.

321
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 2: You know.

322
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 1: It's running back, So.

323
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, they don't want the starters playing much at all.

324
00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:34,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I think most of the starters are not

325
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: going to play. Ray is kind of right behind that.

326
00:13:38,200 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 2: He's right underneath that on the depth chart, and you

327
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: certainly need more than one healthy running back to go

328
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 2: into a season, So I wonder if they have him

329
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Speaker 2: out there maybe for a series and then say, okay,

330
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 2: go put your ball cap on. But I mean, he

331
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,400
Speaker 2: is a fascinating story. We really didn't get into the

332
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: nuts and bolts of it. But he had fourteen siblings.

333
00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: He was born in the San Francisco Bay area, as

334
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: he mentioned, but both of his biological parents spent stretches

335
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:09,400
Speaker 2: in prison when he was a young kid, so he

336
00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:13,160
Speaker 2: lived in homes of extended family and friends, homeless shelters,

337
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:16,600
Speaker 2: and then entered the foster care system, became a orless

338
00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 2: state at age eight, and you know, he finally became

339
00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:27,920
Speaker 2: he had two parents. His first set of parents, besides

340
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 2: his biological parents, were parents of one of his teammates

341
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,840
Speaker 2: in school, and they took him in and became his

342
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 2: foster parents. And then when his dad got out of prison,

343
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 2: he rebuilt his life and rebuilt his relationship with his son.

344
00:14:43,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 2: When Ray was about sixteen, and that's what we were

345
00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: talking to him about, he had an athletic opportunity at

346
00:14:49,560 --> 00:14:53,240
Speaker 2: a prep school out east in New Jersey, but he

347
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 2: was still a ward of the state. So then his

348
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 2: dad fought to gain custody, and once he did, they

349
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 2: put in the paperwork necessary and got approved to send

350
00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,320
Speaker 2: him east. You know, when that translated into a college

351
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 2: opportunity at Temple to play college football. So really an

352
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 2: amazing story of perseverance. I mean, he is that's the

353
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,280
Speaker 2: photo you should look at.

354
00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:22,040
Speaker 5: It's Dictionary. It's unbelievable. The winding path that got him here.

355
00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:24,120
Speaker 5: And to have him, you know, to be the kind

356
00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 5: of guy that you sit here and have a conversation

357
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:28,200
Speaker 5: we had with him, to watch his teammates interact with him.

358
00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,119
Speaker 1: Does either kind of football player became.

359
00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 5: To see the odyssey he and even his trip through college,

360
00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 5: as we outlined this on the interview, getting through weaving

361
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 5: that through that NCAA Mayze, of transferring to two different

362
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 5: schools and playing and now being on an NFL roster,

363
00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 5: it is an odyssey what his life has been, even

364
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: since he was a freshman in college.

365
00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 2: And I mean, with all he's got on his plate now,

366
00:15:54,640 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 2: he still signs up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of America.

367
00:15:57,560 --> 00:15:59,440
Speaker 2: Is going to be part of the Game Changers program,

368
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 2: which often recruits NFL players, and I think we can

369
00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 2: all understand why.

370
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 3: I mean, he.

371
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,160
Speaker 2: Wants to be a mentor to some kid that needs it,

372
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:11,560
Speaker 2: knowing that was something he didn't have for a long

373
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 2: time and as he knows the.

374
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:15,520
Speaker 1: Difference it can make. Yeah, I seen firsthand. That's awesome.

375
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 2: So he's just a fantastic story all the way around.

376
00:16:18,520 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 2: I mean, you want to talk about an easy guy

377
00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:23,800
Speaker 2: to root for, I mean, holy cow, And how about that,

378
00:16:23,880 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 2: like the only guy in FBS college football history to

379
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 2: run for one thousand yards for three different college programs,

380
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 2: And I mean that's just I mean, it's one thing

381
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,840
Speaker 2: to get to transfer and go to a new school,

382
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:39,080
Speaker 2: but then to have the same level of production and

383
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:41,440
Speaker 2: success as soon as you get there. Because it's only

384
00:16:41,480 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 2: one year at Vanderbilt and he's on to Kentucky. He's

385
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 2: got me rooting for him.

386
00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 3: I know.

387
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 2: That So really cool that he was able to stop in.

388
00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 2: And thanks to Tim Hortons for making that interview possible.

389
00:16:53,720 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 2: Tim Hortons the official coffee of the Buffalo Bills. We

390
00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 2: should bring you up to speed on some Bill's news

391
00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,480
Speaker 2: and notes, and unfortunately, there are some new additions to

392
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: the injury list. Will Clap, the offensive lineman who left

393
00:17:06,760 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 2: practice early yesterday is in concussion protocol according to head

394
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 2: coach Sean McDermott, so that pretty much is going to

395
00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,879
Speaker 2: take him out of the mix for Saturday's preseason finale.

396
00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 2: Tarren Johnson has some soreness in his quad and it's

397
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: not really an injury. They're being they're being cautious here

398
00:17:26,720 --> 00:17:29,760
Speaker 2: and taking preventative measures, so he is resting today and

399
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: not practicing and being a starter. He's not going to

400
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,920
Speaker 2: play on Saturday anyway, so he'll have plenty of time

401
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,119
Speaker 2: to let that soreness dissipate out of his quad. And

402
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 2: then Terrell Burgess, one of the safeties that was signed

403
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 2: when Mike Edwards and Cole Bishop initially went down, He

404
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 2: left practice early yesterday with a hamstring injury and coach

405
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 2: McDermott does not see him being able to play.

406
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 3: On Saturday at all.

407
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:55,160
Speaker 2: So the safety position takes yet another hit, just as

408
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 2: Mike Edwards and Cole Bishop are working their way back

409
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,560
Speaker 2: into the practice rotation. Safety is it's like it's cursed

410
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,440
Speaker 2: or something. It can't keep them healthy.

411
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: It's crazier.

412
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: So that's kind of the scenario there. The only other

413
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 2: bit of news that was interesting was coach McDermott was

414
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,120
Speaker 2: asked a series of questions about the other injured players

415
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 2: that he termed out for multiple weeks, those being Mitch Trubisky,

416
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:25,119
Speaker 2: Quinton Morris, Marquez Valdez Scantling, and then Curtis Samuel was

417
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,680
Speaker 2: a week to week toe injury, so they were asked

418
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 2: about He was asked about those players and he said

419
00:18:30,560 --> 00:18:33,840
Speaker 2: he has not yet ruled any of them out for

420
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,480
Speaker 2: a week one of the regular season, which is pretty

421
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,800
Speaker 2: noteworthy because I thought for sure Trubisky might be on

422
00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 2: ir to start the season and they might have to

423
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 2: carry somebody else to be the number two quarterback, you know,

424
00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:47,000
Speaker 2: the other positions, you can kind of get around it

425
00:18:47,040 --> 00:18:50,719
Speaker 2: because you have multiple players, although receiver might be an

426
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: interesting scenario two if you know you're not gonna have Valdez,

427
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:57,199
Speaker 2: Scantling or Samuel for the start of the regular season.

428
00:18:57,320 --> 00:19:00,679
Speaker 2: So I guess it's a wait and see at this point.

429
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: But final cuts are Tuesday, like they kind of have

430
00:19:03,359 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 2: to know and have an idea what their prognoses are, Like, Hey,

431
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:10,800
Speaker 2: are we gonna have Quinton Morris for Week one regular

432
00:19:10,840 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 2: season opener? No, Okay, Davidson's on the roster. Do we

433
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:14,760
Speaker 2: need a fourth tight end?

434
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:15,240
Speaker 7: Like?

435
00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 2: Those are the kinds of conversations that they're gonna need

436
00:19:18,320 --> 00:19:21,960
Speaker 2: clarity on coming into Tuesday for final cuts at four PM.

437
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:23,879
Speaker 5: One of the things that does give you, particularly for

438
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,919
Speaker 5: the opening day roster, is the freedom to kind of

439
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,920
Speaker 5: load up for a specific game plan against a team

440
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:33,840
Speaker 5: that you're gonna play, like the Arizona Cardinals. You can

441
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,719
Speaker 5: kind of load up your roster knowing that you can

442
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 5: put this guy on IR but you can do it

443
00:19:38,560 --> 00:19:40,440
Speaker 5: later and you can activate this guy and then you

444
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:42,159
Speaker 5: can cut him after this week or put him on

445
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,879
Speaker 5: the practice squad. You got ninety guys to work with

446
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:47,639
Speaker 5: right now to get your roster ready, and all of

447
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:50,919
Speaker 5: whom are incorporated into your offense and defense. So for

448
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,160
Speaker 5: the reason I say this is because if you cut

449
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:55,280
Speaker 5: down to fifty three and you bring in your practice

450
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 5: squad and all of them are maybe better players from

451
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,119
Speaker 5: other teams, but you can't play that first week because

452
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 5: they don't know they don't know the words. So you

453
00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 5: do have a wider margin of error for this week

454
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:11,159
Speaker 5: one opponent that you probably don't have the rest of

455
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,359
Speaker 5: the way because your roster can be set just a

456
00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:14,119
Speaker 5: few days before.

457
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: I just wonder if any of these guys eventually fall

458
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,680
Speaker 2: into a category where it's time to reduce the roster

459
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: to fifty three on Tuesday, have any of these guys

460
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,560
Speaker 2: not made enough progress where you say, you know what,

461
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,840
Speaker 2: it's better for us to ir them here at the

462
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 2: start because they're going to miss at least two games,

463
00:20:37,600 --> 00:20:39,840
Speaker 2: and let's just ir them for the first four weeks

464
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 2: of the season and carry carry a player at the

465
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,480
Speaker 2: position that we can utilize.

466
00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:49,840
Speaker 5: Yeah, and like I said, if you can, if you

467
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:52,680
Speaker 5: can get those guys and you know it's going to

468
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 5: be a month before you set your fifty three, you

469
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,879
Speaker 5: can cover that skill set that one guy bring, that

470
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:01,560
Speaker 5: special guy brings. You can cover it with three guys

471
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 5: for a couple of weeks and then bring him back

472
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 5: after a month. And you say, okay, now we can

473
00:21:06,119 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 5: release these or put these guys on the practice squad

474
00:21:08,280 --> 00:21:10,679
Speaker 5: and do that so you can cover form easier from

475
00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 5: the bigger roster at least early in the season. But

476
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:16,480
Speaker 5: if it's gonna be you know, a month, yeah, what

477
00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 5: are you gonna do? There's it starts to get dicey.

478
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, So you got to believe they're hoping to get

479
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 2: clarity on those injuries. The only other update was Damar Hamlin.

480
00:21:30,840 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: His hamstring injury was considered weak to week, so we'll

481
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,880
Speaker 2: have to get some clarity on that come next week

482
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: as well, once the preparations begin for Week one. It's

483
00:21:41,119 --> 00:21:44,160
Speaker 2: still gonna be two weeks away. But safety position has

484
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 2: taken its share of hits. Man, it is just bizarre

485
00:21:47,840 --> 00:21:51,800
Speaker 2: how one specific position. Of course, Bills fans are probably like,

486
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 2: why does this always happen to us? As I mentioned

487
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:59,560
Speaker 2: on yesterday's show, the Carolina Panthers lost three cornerbacks in

488
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:02,320
Speaker 2: one season game against the Jets and had to sign

489
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,000
Speaker 2: three new ones because it wasn't just a temporary injury,

490
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: all long term injuries.

491
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 3: One guy got ird.

492
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 2: Dane Jackson, the former Bill is supposed to be out

493
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:14,000
Speaker 2: six weeks. So they got hit and hit hard at

494
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,160
Speaker 2: one position as well.

495
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 5: That's the Yeah, that's the scary part. That's why you

496
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 5: always you know, it's a real thing. All these guys

497
00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,960
Speaker 5: holding these guys out, and yeah, they need to get ready,

498
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:25,560
Speaker 5: got to get them ready for the rig But man,

499
00:22:25,560 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 5: ol Man, you know, yeah, it's like it's like three

500
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 5: guys right to the stadium together.

501
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 1: And they're all in the car wreck and they were lost,

502
00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:35,320
Speaker 1: you know, and now.

503
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 5: You your whole team's compromise, right, we got to go

504
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,760
Speaker 5: around the NFL now with is presented by Kalida Health,

505
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 5: the official healthcare system of the Buffalo Bills.

506
00:22:45,480 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 2: And Dovetailing off that cornerback shortage for the Panthers, they

507
00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:51,439
Speaker 2: had to swing a trade. They swung a trade with

508
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:56,919
Speaker 2: the Seattle Seahawks, acquiring cornerback Michael Jackson in exchange for

509
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 2: linebacker Michael Barrett. So, you know, they already had a

510
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 2: couple of players that they added, but they're off the street.

511
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 3: Pickens are slim.

512
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 2: They're looking at their dearth of corners and saying, we

513
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 2: need somebody that can suit up and play in the

514
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:16,399
Speaker 2: regular season. So they needed a higher caliber corner so

515
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 2: they acquired Michael Jackson in a trade with the Seahawks

516
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 2: in exchange for their linebacker, Michael Barrett. So and that

517
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 2: was just one of several trades that have gone down

518
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 2: a team that's been especially busy, the Washington Commanders. The

519
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,400
Speaker 2: big deal that they made involves wide receiver Jahan Dotson,

520
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 2: a former first round pick of the Commanders. They send

521
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:43,600
Speaker 2: him to intra division rival Philadelphia along with a fifth

522
00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:46,720
Speaker 2: round pick in exchange for a third round pick and

523
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,160
Speaker 2: two sevens back.

524
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:48,760
Speaker 3: From the Eagles.

525
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 2: So you want to talk about the Eagles, loading up

526
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 2: for bear at the skill positions. I mean, right now

527
00:23:55,080 --> 00:24:01,639
Speaker 2: you've got Jalen Hurtz, Saquon Barkley, DeVante Smith, aj Brown,

528
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 2: Dallas got her a tight end, and now Johan Dotson.

529
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: I mean that is a loaded crew.

530
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 5: I read an article after that trade happened that Dotson

531
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,159
Speaker 5: there in Washington had, for lack of a better way

532
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 5: to say it, just stagnated.

533
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:18,399
Speaker 1: He needed a fresh start.

534
00:24:18,800 --> 00:24:22,160
Speaker 5: He wasn't happy, he wasn't playing well, he was inconsistent.

535
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:26,200
Speaker 5: And even the front office, and obviously the front office

536
00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:29,159
Speaker 5: of Washington knew it, and de said, well, let's you know,

537
00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:31,840
Speaker 5: let's do it. Let's get somebody in here who's you know,

538
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 5: Let's replace him. And so they got three draft picks

539
00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 5: in an exchange for Dotson. In a five, they get

540
00:24:39,920 --> 00:24:40,800
Speaker 5: a three and two sevens.

541
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: Let's go. And yeah, that.

542
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,880
Speaker 5: It's really becoming more and more and more common. If

543
00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 5: a guy doesn't want to be on your team, find

544
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:53,600
Speaker 5: a way to get rid of him. You got to

545
00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:56,920
Speaker 5: that's how important the motion is in this game. You

546
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:58,480
Speaker 5: can't have a guy there that's unhappy.

547
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: The Commanders also augmented their kicking situation. They executed a

548
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:08,760
Speaker 2: trade with the Cleveland Browns to acquire their backup kicker

549
00:25:08,880 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 2: Cade York and release their kicker Riley Patterson, who struggled

550
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:19,120
Speaker 2: this preseason. And I guess the Commanders are like, all right,

551
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 2: we'll we'll do this instead of waiting for Kad York

552
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 2: to possibly get released on Tuesday, we.

553
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,239
Speaker 3: Want the only opportunity to get him.

554
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:31,800
Speaker 2: We'll give something up to get him rather than wait

555
00:25:31,840 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: for final cuts and then compete with thirty other teams

556
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: to try to well, probably not thirty other teams, but

557
00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:39,399
Speaker 2: a handful of other teams that might be after him.

558
00:25:39,960 --> 00:25:42,840
Speaker 2: It was just for a conditional seventh round pick that

559
00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:45,440
Speaker 2: they got him, So for that they figured, okay, we'll

560
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 2: take him, and off they go. So they have a

561
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 2: new kicker, and they are down a former first round

562
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 2: draft choice in Johan Dotson. And look it's a former

563
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 2: first round draft choice, but not of this current regime,

564
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:01,520
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Yew owned new GM, new

565
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: head coach, so they're not beholden to some of these

566
00:26:05,960 --> 00:26:08,399
Speaker 2: guys that were picks of the previous regime.

567
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,080
Speaker 3: And this is evidence of that.

568
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,360
Speaker 5: Yeah, Johan Dodson was a guy with some measurables. He's

569
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 5: a fast He's not a big guy.

570
00:26:14,280 --> 00:26:15,159
Speaker 1: No, he was.

571
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 5: He was highly sought after in that draft and he's

572
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 5: just has never And he's not alone. I mean, there

573
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:23,720
Speaker 5: have been a lot of players who have not seen

574
00:26:23,760 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 5: their full potential in Washington over the last decade.

575
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,880
Speaker 2: So Russell Wilson is going to play in the Steelers

576
00:26:29,960 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 2: preseason finale as the quarterback battle continues between him and

577
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 2: Justin Fields, which would be an indication at least that

578
00:26:38,680 --> 00:26:42,360
Speaker 2: this competition is still very much open. And we got

579
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:44,360
Speaker 2: an up close and personal look at it last week.

580
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 2: It did not look good. Neither of those guys really

581
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,960
Speaker 2: look comfortable in any way, shape or form in the

582
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 2: Steelers offense. And I don't know if it's the guys

583
00:26:53,920 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 2: around him as much as it is those two guys themselves.

584
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 5: Yeah, Russe Wilson looks it looks a little bewildered.

585
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:02,560
Speaker 1: He doesn't.

586
00:27:02,640 --> 00:27:06,240
Speaker 5: It doesn't look like he sees it still shows some poise.

587
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:08,959
Speaker 5: His arm is not what it once was, you know,

588
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 5: but he still throws a great deep ball. Fields looks

589
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 5: like a real athlete at the quarterback spot. And if

590
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:22,160
Speaker 5: I'm the Steelers, to me, Fields gives you a better

591
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 5: chance to win because he's off script. He's way better

592
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 5: than Russ Wilson. He can run when all is lost,

593
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:32,199
Speaker 5: the play is not over. Yes, now he's he doesn't

594
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:34,840
Speaker 5: look as poised, and nobody looks as poised as Russ.

595
00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 5: Russ is cool as a cucumber back there, and he

596
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,880
Speaker 5: always has been. He's still got that quality. So Fields

597
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,320
Speaker 5: doesn't look poised in the pocket like Russ does. But

598
00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:45,000
Speaker 5: I don't know that he's an't less productive at this point.

599
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 5: Neither one of them looked very good at all. In

600
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 5: the preseason game against Buffalo. The passing game was not

601
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: to be found. It was there was nothing, it was

602
00:27:57,840 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 5: non existent.

603
00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: So if you're.

604
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:05,040
Speaker 5: Gonna do that, I think Steelers right now, you cut bait,

605
00:28:05,760 --> 00:28:09,240
Speaker 5: you throw in the Lamar Jackson Baltimore Ravens, run first

606
00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 5: offense with Justin Fields in there, and just get what

607
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 5: you can out of the passing game. I mean, I

608
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,080
Speaker 5: I think you got a that's from one game in

609
00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 5: the preseason. What I've seen, That's what I do, but

610
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 5: I haven't you know, that's a snapshot of.

611
00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 3: I know, but it didn't go much better the week before. Now.

612
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,280
Speaker 2: Wilson didn't play in the first one because he was

613
00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:31,119
Speaker 2: still nursing that calf injury. But it did not go

614
00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,920
Speaker 2: much better the week before. I mean, Fields was five

615
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 2: to six for sixty five yards, had a couple of

616
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:42,840
Speaker 2: nice throws. You know, nothing super special against Houston, But

617
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 2: I think I think they're kind of up a creek.

618
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:47,680
Speaker 3: They're up a creek.

619
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 2: I don't know how they're gonna keep up with teams

620
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 2: on the scoreboard with with that level of quarterbacking. I mean,

621
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 2: since Roethlisberger has called it a career, they have really

622
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 2: been out in the abyss of quarterback.

623
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: No man's lass where he goes.

624
00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 5: And plus here's the thing too, you got to really

625
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,160
Speaker 5: I think Mike Tom's a really good coach. He makes

626
00:29:11,240 --> 00:29:14,240
Speaker 5: chicken salad out of chicken poop. I mean, the guy's unbelievable.

627
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 5: He's never had a losing season. He ain't gonna get

628
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 5: a quarterback. And in the draft with that record that

629
00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:22,880
Speaker 5: you're just not and that's where they're at.

630
00:29:22,920 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 2: Well, they drafted one, though it didn't work. Can he

631
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: Pickett two years ago? Well yeah it was the first

632
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:31,280
Speaker 2: round pick. Yeah, but what number he was like seventeen

633
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 2: or eighteen somewhere. You're not getting the guy.

634
00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 5: There's seventeen sixteen other teams that need a quarterback too

635
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:40,200
Speaker 5: that didn't take him.

636
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 3: Correct.

637
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:42,840

Speaker 3: Somebody wants to win.

654
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,120
Speaker 5: Bad And yeah, the Falcons are putting in a week division,

655
00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:42,120
Speaker 5: so it's there to be had and loaded for bear Man.

656
00:30:42,320 --> 00:30:46,200
Speaker 5: Kirk Cousins is gonna give him everything. Well, he gives

657
00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 5: him stability.

658
00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: He's not he's not gonna be Matt Ryan in his

659
00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:50,640
Speaker 1: MVP year.

660
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 2: No, and he's coming off in Achilles too. Let's not

661
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 2: forget that.

662
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:56,760
Speaker 1: So let's just pump the brakes a little bit.

663
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 5: But he is gonna be steady and he's not gonna

664
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:04,000
Speaker 5: austin games. Whether he wins games remains to be seen.

665
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,000
Speaker 5: But they've got enough guys around him who.

666
00:31:05,840 --> 00:31:07,560
Speaker 1: Can do that for him. If he can just get

667
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: him the ball, that's it.

668
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 5: So the Falcons to me have to be considered in

669
00:31:14,720 --> 00:31:16,160
Speaker 5: the top one or two of that division.

670
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,000
Speaker 1: Caroline is not.

671
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:25,320
Speaker 5: In New Orleans. No, Yeah, Tampa Bay. I mean maybe they,

672
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:27,720
Speaker 5: But Baker Mayfix Baker Mayfield.

673
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, come on, man, I get it.

674
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:31,280

688
00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:15,400
Speaker 2: One Bill's Live, presented by Colida Health. It's Buffalo Bills Radio.

689
00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 2: All right back here on one Bill's Live, Chris Brown

690
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,600
Speaker 2: Steve Tasker with you to have a good discussion today.

691
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:36,800
Speaker 2: Which player on offense and defense can make a case

692
00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 2: for a roster spot with their performance against the Panthers

693
00:32:40,840 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 2: on Saturday.

694
00:32:42,120 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 3: I mean, it's happened before. It's not out of the

695
00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,160
Speaker 3: realm of possibility. Somebody has a lights out performance that's

696
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 3: on the bubble in the final preseason game, and they

697
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 3: crawl onto the fifty three man roster a few days later.

698
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 5: You got to be close to being in the conversation

699
00:32:57,400 --> 00:33:01,800
Speaker 5: already and right. And it used to be and it

700
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 5: hasn't been this way for a minute.

701
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: I don't think.

702
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 5: But back in the day, there was always every team,

703
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,400
Speaker 5: you'd get to the end of the cutdowns and one

704
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 5: guy who you didn't believe was gonna ever get cut

705
00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 5: would be gone, you know, and another guy made the team,

706
00:33:16,560 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 5: and it was just it was the surprise roster move

707
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:24,040
Speaker 5: at the end. You always got one a beloved veteran

708
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 5: or a good player or somebody who's like, wow, I

709
00:33:26,360 --> 00:33:29,000
Speaker 5: thought for sure he was, you know, And it happened

710
00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,480
Speaker 5: literally every year on just about every team.

711
00:33:31,880 --> 00:33:32,880
Speaker 1: Not so much anymore.

712
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 5: You kind of because of the I think it's because

713
00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 5: of the access all of us get to training camp,

714
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 5: like us, I say, us fans, all of that, you

715
00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:44,560
Speaker 5: kind of got an idea like, well, I don't know,

716
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:48,320
Speaker 5: you can you kind of see it coming more so

717
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 5: than we ever did.

718
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:52,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, to develop a trained guy for who's got a shot.

719
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 5: At this and we've been down this well, I mean,

720
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 5: like like I was saying, this is my thirty eighth

721
00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,520
Speaker 5: NFL training camp, So you kind of see the movie

722
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 5: before you know. The ending is not a surprise, even

723
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 5: if it's even if it does have a plot twist.

724
00:34:05,440 --> 00:34:07,200
Speaker 2: I think that I don't know if I want to

725
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 2: single out any specific players, will let our callers do

726
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,399
Speaker 2: that at eight O three zero five fifty one eight

727
00:34:12,400 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 2: eight eighty five fifty two five fifty. But what I

728
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 2: will say is I think it's pretty easy to identify

729
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 2: some positions that are still very much in a state

730
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:24,440
Speaker 2: of flux that could be impacted by a breakout performance

731
00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:27,520
Speaker 2: in this preseason game on Saturday. That's probably linebacker right

732
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 2: at the back end of that depth chart.

733
00:34:29,520 --> 00:34:34,279
Speaker 3: And safety. I mean, somebody shows up at safety and says, hey,

734
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,000
Speaker 3: I know I've been down for a little bit, but

735
00:34:36,600 --> 00:34:37,160
Speaker 3: look at this.

736
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, and it could be too. There's a lot of

737
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 5: things that go into that stew particularly at the safety spot.

738
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,480
Speaker 5: You know, it's it's what the guy says as much

739
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:51,120
Speaker 5: as anything we you know, you watch practice, you see Bobby,

740
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 5: you know, see a nondescript play happen.

741
00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:54,800
Speaker 1: Bob badget Babbage.

742
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 5: Goes, hey, awesome job, and he's talking about what they

743
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 5: were saying to get it the adjustment package right, and

744
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:04,239
Speaker 5: that's all that's that has nothing to do with how

745
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:06,959
Speaker 5: fast you run or whatever. It's just saying, hey, check

746
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:08,880
Speaker 5: to this, check to this, now, check back to that.

747
00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 5: Because of the formation and the personnel out there, and

748
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you got a hat on a

749
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:16,759
Speaker 5: hat and you're all covered up and your sound defensively

750
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 5: just because the safety knows what's going on out there,

751
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:21,720
Speaker 5: and Bob Babbage is going crazy. It is like cool,

752
00:35:22,080 --> 00:35:25,359
Speaker 5: you know that it has. Don't expect a guy to

753
00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:28,200
Speaker 5: come out and make three interceptions and be that guy.

754
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,000
Speaker 5: It could be a guy who just makes the right

755
00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 5: call at the right time that turns some in somebody

756
00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 5: else getting an interception. So there's so much that goes

757
00:35:36,239 --> 00:35:39,440
Speaker 5: into the stew that that makes your safeties good. I

758
00:35:39,480 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 5: mean when they signed Poyer and Hide and all, everybody's like, eh,

759
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 5: you know, And so don't be fooled by what it

760
00:35:49,560 --> 00:35:50,359
Speaker 5: takes to be a good one.

761
00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:54,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, A three five point fifty the number to jump

762
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:56,680
Speaker 2: on board. Which player on offense, which player on defense

763
00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:58,800
Speaker 2: can make a case for a roster spot on Saturday?

764
00:35:59,239 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 2: Leading us off today is David and Rochester. What do

765
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,000
Speaker 2: you got for his David?

766
00:36:05,080 --> 00:36:09,799
Speaker 9: Hi, guys, First off, I have I'll give you my

767
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 9: two players, and then I just had a quick question.

768
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:18,480
Speaker 9: If that's okay my player on defense? I think it's

769
00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 9: Damar Hamlin. I think he's got to step up a

770
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 9: little bit and assert himself to I mean, he doesn't

771
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 9: do anything wrong, but he doesn't impress me as somebody

772
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:40,759
Speaker 9: who's a playmaker. And on offense, I think it's I

773
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 9: think it's gonna be Zach Davidson's okay, and my question

774
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:53,239
Speaker 9: for you is about practices. I mean, I know that

775
00:36:53,960 --> 00:37:00,279
Speaker 9: practice time is valuable, and you know the coaches want

776
00:37:00,320 --> 00:37:04,160
Speaker 9: things to run smooth. I just was wondering what happens

777
00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:10,360
Speaker 9: when a player makes a mistake, like a receiver runs

778
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:16,200
Speaker 9: a wrong route or defensive guy isn't in the right spot.

779
00:37:16,880 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 9: How did the coaches handle that? Do they yell at him?

780
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,520
Speaker 9: Do they pull them out immediately? You know how much

781
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 9: feedback they do they and what kind of feedback do

782
00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:34,759
Speaker 9: they give to the player. And because it seems like

783
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 9: now it's going to be a lot of pressure, it's

784
00:37:37,600 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 9: getting close to the cut time, then okay, guys might

785
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:42,759
Speaker 9: make more mistakes.

786
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:45,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, understood, David Good questions, Steve, you want to take that.

787
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,040
Speaker 5: There's a ton of bit different kinds of mistakes. A

788
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:50,280
Speaker 5: mental mistake where you just run the wrong route because

789
00:37:51,239 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 5: there's no excuse to run the wrong route and play.

790
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 5: You know, or you should know if you've got a

791
00:37:55,520 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 5: miscommunication you thought it was one thing in another, or

792
00:37:57,960 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 5: if you ran the wrong route because you read a

793
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 5: d defensive back playing you at a certain alignment and

794
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,880
Speaker 5: you're supposed to break your route off in a different

795
00:38:03,920 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 5: direction because of that that's all in the mix. So

796
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,000
Speaker 5: there's a lot of different types and different layers to

797
00:38:09,040 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 5: the mistakes players make. If it's a mental mistake, is

798
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:16,800
Speaker 5: it indicative or is it is it an aberration?

799
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 1: I mean that's is all that.

800
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,160
Speaker 5: But the coaches will absolutely right then correct the guy

801
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:22,759
Speaker 5: say hey, wait, wait, wait, you should you should have

802
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 5: done this, not that, And every coach is different in

803
00:38:25,719 --> 00:38:27,759
Speaker 5: the way they communicate that. You'd be surprised there's none

804
00:38:27,800 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 5: of that. There's no yelling or screaming or berating guys.

805
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:34,960
Speaker 5: They're treated like adults and professionals. They're saying, hey, we

806
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 5: need you to do this and this, not that becauctually.

807
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,440
Speaker 3: So watched that at practice today.

808
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: You know, Bobby Babbage asked for a half a second

809
00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:44,680
Speaker 2: before the next play call, went in to make a

810
00:38:44,719 --> 00:38:47,799
Speaker 2: correction on the field with one of his linebackers, And

811
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 2: it was just a simple little coaching point, but it

812
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:52,040
Speaker 2: was something that he noticed. He wanted to address it

813
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 2: in the moment, and then he said, okay, let's go,

814
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: and then they were right back on schedule again. Now,

815
00:38:56,719 --> 00:38:59,880
Speaker 2: sometimes there isn't time in practice to make that correction,

816
00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:01,520
Speaker 2: but a coach will make a note of it. On

817
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 2: his card and then they'll review it in film with

818
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,759
Speaker 2: that player afterwards, and that's when the coaching point out.

819
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:08,120
Speaker 1: Right now, they watch practice.

820
00:39:08,200 --> 00:39:10,480
Speaker 5: After they practice, they go back in, they watch the

821
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,560
Speaker 5: film or the practice they just finished, and they say, hey, listen,

822
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:14,360
Speaker 5: you watch it and you'll say, hey, right here, you

823
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,680
Speaker 5: see this, this, when you see this, do this, do that.

824
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:17,760
Speaker 1: So they they.

825
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:22,040
Speaker 5: Reinforce what happens in the moment of the mistake with

826
00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:27,680
Speaker 5: film study and conversation about it as well in coaching points. So, yeah,

827
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 5: that practice time is valuable, you're right, And there is

828
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 5: usually a you know, half a second, half a minute

829
00:39:36,160 --> 00:39:38,520
Speaker 5: between plays for the guy to coaching, for the coaching

830
00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:39,719
Speaker 5: staff to correct the guy.

831
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 1: Now.

832
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,799
Speaker 5: Also, if they're rotating out, they'll just have the guy

833
00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:44,440
Speaker 5: come to him and they'll correct him right then and

834
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:47,319
Speaker 5: the rest of practice keeps going that kind of thing.

835
00:39:47,400 --> 00:39:49,040
Speaker 5: But if he's gonna but if he's gonna stay in,

836
00:39:49,120 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 5: he'll correct him real quick and then step out. Like

837
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 5: he said, you know, the coaches say, hey, wait anute,

838
00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,800
Speaker 5: wait a minute, and coach him up for a second

839
00:39:56,880 --> 00:40:02,160
Speaker 5: and then back out. But yeah, it's it's ongoing, it's ongoing.

840
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,879
Speaker 5: It's a free wheeling kind of atmosphere.

841
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:08,080
Speaker 3: Let's go to Cindy and Niagara Falls next. What's up, Cindy.

842
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:12,279
Speaker 10: Hi, guys, I have a comment and a question. My

843
00:40:12,520 --> 00:40:17,760
Speaker 10: comment is that I think Buffalo Joe did a fantastic

844
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 10: showing on the last game and I'm hoping that we

845
00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 10: keep them. My question is the conditioning of the players.

846
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,319
Speaker 10: Has something changed because.

847
00:40:33,960 --> 00:40:37,240
Speaker 11: It seems like a lot of the players are getting

848
00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:43,120
Speaker 11: hurt with injuries that I think some conditioning and I've

849
00:40:43,120 --> 00:40:47,160
Speaker 11: been there, done it can actually.

850
00:40:48,880 --> 00:40:50,759
Speaker 10: Help them through it. Thank you.

851
00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:52,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, no problem, Cindy.

852
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: I will say there seems to be more soft tissue

853
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:59,920
Speaker 2: injuries this training camp than we've seen in previous years.

854
00:41:00,320 --> 00:41:04,320
Speaker 2: A lot of times the injuries we've seen of late,

855
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: you know, going back to last year and the year

856
00:41:07,440 --> 00:41:11,839
Speaker 2: before that, Milano broken leg like that. It doesn't matter

857
00:41:11,880 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: what kind of training you do, right you break your leg.

858
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 3: You break your leg.

859
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,360
Speaker 2: You can run eighteen miles a day to be as

860
00:41:17,400 --> 00:41:20,360
Speaker 2: fit as possible. You break your leg, that's completely different.

861
00:41:21,320 --> 00:41:24,200
Speaker 3: But there are a lot of calf injuries, half muscle injury.

862
00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,480
Speaker 2: Camp had some hamstring injuries, So those are the soft

863
00:41:26,520 --> 00:41:29,919
Speaker 2: tissue muscular injuries we've seen more of those. I don't

864
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 2: know if it's just a freak thing or maybe something

865
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: did change in the regimen.

866
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,759
Speaker 3: I don't know that, but there have been more. The

867
00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,680
Speaker 3: fact is there are more soft tissue injuries that we've seen.

868
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,680
Speaker 5: And I think that's that's the only generalization you can make.

869
00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:47,480
Speaker 5: And certainly you can point to whatever you want. When

870
00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:51,680
Speaker 5: you have ninety guys and they start training camp, and

871
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 5: they start training and doing exercises at the same time

872
00:41:55,160 --> 00:41:59,879
Speaker 5: every day in the same way every day, the same exercises,

873
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 5: same time, insimultaneously us outside of playing football, whatever different

874
00:42:05,200 --> 00:42:07,719
Speaker 5: position they play, that's the only difference they have. So

875
00:42:08,239 --> 00:42:10,240
Speaker 5: you can kind of see how once in a while,

876
00:42:10,719 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 5: all of a sudden, you got three or four guys

877
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,120
Speaker 5: with popcash. They're stretching the same every day, They're doing

878
00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,320
Speaker 5: the same strength and conditioning every day, they're doing you

879
00:42:18,360 --> 00:42:21,600
Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, So they have a similar reaction

880
00:42:21,760 --> 00:42:24,000
Speaker 5: to the exertion of their positions. Some of that you

881
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 5: can make a case for. But still, you know, somebody

882
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:31,839
Speaker 5: has a bad piece of pizza and you know.

883
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,200
Speaker 2: Well, and the athletic training staff and the sports science

884
00:42:34,239 --> 00:42:36,400
Speaker 2: department are on that. Like white on rice if they

885
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,759
Speaker 2: see some kind of pattern, they are on it, yes,

886
00:42:38,800 --> 00:42:42,000
Speaker 2: and investigating it and researching it and seeing what has

887
00:42:42,040 --> 00:42:45,160
Speaker 2: to change to rectify that. So just because the injuries

888
00:42:45,160 --> 00:42:48,480
Speaker 2: are happening, it's not like the athletic training staff or

889
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:51,200
Speaker 2: the sports science department are going, oh, well, another injury.

890
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,319
Speaker 3: They're on that because that's that's their job.

891
00:42:54,440 --> 00:42:56,600
Speaker 5: Even today in a practice it was not full go.

892
00:43:00,719 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 5: Everybody out there's got these heart and respiratory monitors on

893
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:10,720
Speaker 5: GPS stuff, so they've got electronic data and feedback exactly

894
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,799
Speaker 5: what the where the guy's heart rate was.

895
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 1: All that stuff it's got.

896
00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 2: It's basically measures total distance covered. It has high intensity measures.

897
00:43:21,719 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 2: So when were they pushing it at one hundred percent

898
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,960
Speaker 2: in practice of their exertion rate? When were they at

899
00:43:27,040 --> 00:43:29,480
Speaker 2: ninety percent? When when they're at eighty percent, And if

900
00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 2: there's a little too much in the red, they'll be

901
00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,319
Speaker 2: alerting the coach like, hey, we got to take him

902
00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:38,080
Speaker 2: out for the next series here because he's risking injurdlining.

903
00:43:38,200 --> 00:43:40,319
Speaker 2: He's had a greater rate for injury risk. We got

904
00:43:40,360 --> 00:43:43,000
Speaker 2: to get him out. So there are preventative measures that

905
00:43:43,000 --> 00:43:45,320
Speaker 2: they try to take. But despite all of those efforts,

906
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:48,879
Speaker 2: I think we all know football injuries still happen. Yeah,

907
00:43:48,960 --> 00:43:50,840
Speaker 2: we got to take a break here. We'll get to

908
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:53,680
Speaker 2: Kevin and Williamsville when we come back. Which player on offense,

909
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 2: which player on defense can make a case for a

Speaker 2: Good?

928
00:44:58,760 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 7: Good great. I'm sorry I can't answer your question. I'm

929
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 7: just not that intelligent and up to what we're up

930
00:45:05,719 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 7: against here for your offensive defensive player. But I do

931
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 7: have a question, if I may, I've always been curious

932
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,200
Speaker 7: with ninety players, as you put it, are on our roster,

933
00:45:16,840 --> 00:45:21,399
Speaker 7: all with playbooks and cutter upon us. Are there any

934
00:45:21,480 --> 00:45:25,720
Speaker 7: confidentiality agreements that players need to sign where they can't

935
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:29,200
Speaker 7: make copies or share our plays with other teams or

936
00:45:29,640 --> 00:45:33,360
Speaker 7: take anything with them. And this would also go towards

937
00:45:33,600 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 7: any players being traded in mid season where they go

938
00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 7: to from Buffalo to Miami and know our schemes and plays.

939
00:45:45,280 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 7: How is that handled, because you really don't hear about

940
00:45:48,360 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 7: players doing that. If it was prevalent, I'm sure it

941
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 7: would be newsworthy, But just curious to know how that's handled.

942
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:00,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll tell you that. The truth.

943
00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:02,520
Speaker 5: It used to be you'd had to you know, you'd

944
00:46:02,680 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 5: obviously have to turn your playbook in when you were released,

945
00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,920
Speaker 5: and certainly when you were traded. Everything's electronic Now it's

946
00:46:08,920 --> 00:46:11,399
Speaker 5: all on the surf, it's all on iPads. I don't

947
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,040
Speaker 5: know how they handle that, whether they can.

948
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 1: Wipe the iPad or whatever, but.

949
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 5: Certainly if you go, for instance, if the Bills cut

950
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:23,839
Speaker 5: a guy and he gets picked up by the New

951
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:27,640
Speaker 5: England Patriots or the New York Jets or any other team.

952
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 5: They bring him in and and yeah, they'll ask him,

953
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:33,239
Speaker 5: say what about are they doing this or that or

954
00:46:33,280 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 5: the other? And he works for them, so it'll say, yeah,

955
00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:40,080
Speaker 5: here's what they're doing. Whatever he can remember now, you know,

956
00:46:40,480 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 5: giving him playbooks and that kind of thing. I think

957
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:45,520
Speaker 5: it's a little bit. I think that's a step further

958
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:47,720
Speaker 5: than what most teams will allow you to do because

959
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,040
Speaker 5: you have to give it back when you leave.

960
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:53,440
Speaker 3: So also, wouldn't shock me if the IT department.

961
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:57,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, or has it encrypted so it can't

962
00:46:57,239 --> 00:47:00,520
Speaker 2: be shared from the device that it's on. Right, So

963
00:47:01,200 --> 00:47:02,960
Speaker 2: you want to learn your playbook, you got to bring

964
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: your surface tablet with you wherever you go, and then

965
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:10,520
Speaker 2: if you're moved off the roster, you hand in your tablet.

966
00:47:10,800 --> 00:47:13,239
Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if the IT department has it

967
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:15,879
Speaker 2: encrypted where it can't be sent.

968
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:18,399
Speaker 3: It's secure, you know, and.

969
00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 1: Can't be shared. Yeah, that's all.

970
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 2: Of course, you could have some some Yahoo taking a

971
00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:28,720
Speaker 2: picture of a play on his tablet with his phone

972
00:47:28,760 --> 00:47:30,920
Speaker 2: and then sending that out somewhere, but that would get

973
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 2: uncovered quite.

974
00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:35,200
Speaker 1: Quickly, you would think. But yeah, that's and.

975
00:47:35,080 --> 00:47:36,839
Speaker 2: Then you might not work for that team or any

976
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 2: other team. It is not trustworthy. Yeah, it is a

977
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:44,759
Speaker 2: new It is a real thing. Corporate espionage is a thing,

978
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,959
Speaker 2: particularly when you're talking about game plans. So uh, there,

979
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 2: they do take as many precautions as they can, and

980
00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,600
Speaker 2: they do confiscate everything they can when a guy is

981
00:47:54,640 --> 00:47:55,520
Speaker 2: no longer with the team.

982
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:59,160
Speaker 3: Let's go to Jack in Rochester next. What's up Jack?

983
00:48:00,360 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 12: I think that kid from Oregon, the linebacker is Alio

984
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,160
Speaker 12: or U.

985
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,560
Speaker 3: He's from Washington, Washington.

986
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 12: Do you think he has a shot?

987
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:14,880
Speaker 3: I think he does.

988
00:48:15,320 --> 00:48:17,719
Speaker 2: Uh, he missed him time with the rib injury, so

989
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,239
Speaker 2: he missed a preseason game. But uh, he's gonna get

990
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:24,160
Speaker 2: a lot of time in this one, so I think

991
00:48:24,160 --> 00:48:26,160
Speaker 2: he's I think he's right there. I mean he's a

992
00:48:26,160 --> 00:48:29,040
Speaker 2: fifth round draft choice. I think they'd like to keep him.

993
00:48:29,040 --> 00:48:31,600
Speaker 2: He's got special teams experience where if he makes the roster,

994
00:48:31,719 --> 00:48:34,760
Speaker 2: that's probably where he's going to be spending his game days.

995
00:48:35,080 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 12: So yeah, he's the kid who said that he set

996
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,640
Speaker 12: a record for cackles. Is he the kid linebacker?

997
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:46,320
Speaker 5: I'd have to check I'd have to check that doesn't

998
00:48:46,480 --> 00:48:48,640
Speaker 5: that doesn't jump out to me, but maybe.

999
00:48:49,200 --> 00:48:52,000
Speaker 12: Maybe Okay, I'd like to see him make it. I

1000
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:55,560
Speaker 12: think be a real real shot for him.

1001
00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,399
Speaker 3: All Right, sounds good. Sounds good to us, Jack, thanks

1002
00:48:58,400 --> 00:48:58,800
Speaker 3: for calling.

1003
00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:02,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the rib injury kept him out of

1004
00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:07,520
Speaker 2: a preseason game. He's healthy now, he's practicing. I think

1005
00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 2: he's a pretty sharp attack having spoken to him a

1006
00:49:09,480 --> 00:49:12,680
Speaker 2: couple of times, so you know, this is one of

1007
00:49:12,680 --> 00:49:16,920
Speaker 2: those guys that needs a big time performance on Saturday.

1008
00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:18,040
Speaker 3: He needs that.

1009
00:49:18,239 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1010
00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,200
Speaker 5: Yeah, and at least to sneak onto the practice squad

1011
00:49:23,280 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 5: something somehow, stay in the building and start getting continue

1012
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:26,800
Speaker 5: to get better.

1013
00:49:27,160 --> 00:49:27,359
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1014
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:30,960
Speaker 5: The injuries, I mean, there's no way to quantify it,

1015
00:49:31,080 --> 00:49:34,759
Speaker 5: but there's no doubt that they severely curtailed some of

1016
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:36,840
Speaker 5: these guys' ability to make the team and contribute and

1017
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:40,560
Speaker 5: be where they would otherwise be. We'll never know the

1018
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:43,560
Speaker 5: consequences of it fully, but you know, a guy like

1019
00:49:43,600 --> 00:49:53,160
Speaker 5: Cole Bishop, Mike Edwards, certainly, Milano, Ulafohio Specter, I mean,

1020
00:49:53,280 --> 00:49:59,080
Speaker 5: go down the list all these guys. Yeah, this is

1021
00:49:59,080 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 5: a real it's a really good football team here in Buffalo.

1022
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:05,640
Speaker 5: If if they had one hundred percent health. Nobody ever does.

1023
00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 5: And it's how you mitigate it that's gonna say how

1024
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,279
Speaker 5: many games you win or lose. But looking at this

1025
00:50:12,320 --> 00:50:14,279
Speaker 5: training camp, it's been a minute since we've had a

1026
00:50:14,280 --> 00:50:18,359
Speaker 5: training camp littered with this many minor injury that just

1027
00:50:18,600 --> 00:50:22,279
Speaker 5: kept kept the team from hitting on all cylinders. I'll

1028
00:50:22,280 --> 00:50:24,200
Speaker 5: say this though, Brown and I were out of practice

1029
00:50:24,239 --> 00:50:30,319
Speaker 5: today in the stadium, and it was a really spirited.

1030
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:32,560
Speaker 1: They They looked.

1031
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 5: Like they were playing the game with a lot of

1032
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:37,000
Speaker 5: lot of joy. They were they love. You know, you

1033
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,919
Speaker 5: could just tell there's a there's a happy football team

1034
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 5: out there.

1035
00:50:40,360 --> 00:50:40,759
Speaker 1: They were.

1036
00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,120
Speaker 5: They were they were springing their step, they were running hard,

1037
00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:47,520
Speaker 5: they were moving fast, talking to each other, and you

1038
00:50:47,560 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 5: know how it is when when the offense makes a play,

1039
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 5: they're yelling at the defense, and when the defense makes

1040
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,400
Speaker 5: it play, they're yelling back at the offense. Really spirited.

1041
00:50:54,480 --> 00:50:57,279
Speaker 5: I just it was a really good atmosphere at that

1042
00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,920
Speaker 5: practice today is what I noticed. And they were crisp.

1043
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 5: They were crisp as a potato chip man. They were Wow.

1044
00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,520
Speaker 5: I was really impressed with the practice they put together.

1045
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,719
Speaker 5: So that seems to be in the midst of all

1046
00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:11,960
Speaker 5: these guys being you know, kind of herky jerky being

1047
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:13,520
Speaker 5: in and out of the lineup. But man, oh man,

1048
00:51:13,560 --> 00:51:16,759
Speaker 5: there's a lot of chatter going on at that practice today.

1049
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:18,560
Speaker 5: They were way into it. I thought it was an

1050
00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,200
Speaker 5: excellent practice. Yeah, I was really impressed.

1051
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:27,400
Speaker 2: Yuleifohio's claim to fame was he had a ACL injury

1052
00:51:28,200 --> 00:51:32,239
Speaker 2: in his senior year and came back as a fifty

1053
00:51:32,320 --> 00:51:36,279
Speaker 2: year senior, served as a team captain and had his

1054
00:51:36,280 --> 00:51:39,239
Speaker 2: best season of his career and finished first team All

1055
00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:44,400
Speaker 2: Pack twelve and at Washington was named the Guy Flaherty

1056
00:51:44,440 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 2: Award winner, which goes to the most inspirational Huskies player

1057
00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: as voted on by the players. But as I told you,

1058
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: he was also a regular on kick return, punt coverage,

1059
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,920
Speaker 2: punt return, and he even had a block punt in

1060
00:51:56,960 --> 00:52:00,080
Speaker 2: his college career, which is that's that's not easy to

1061
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,200
Speaker 2: do for a lineback. It's usually you know, DB's and

1062
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,200
Speaker 2: receivers come hard.

1063
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,520
Speaker 1: It's hard to do any It's hard to do for anybody.

1064
00:52:07,520 --> 00:52:09,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that's his claim to fame.

1065
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:10,600
Speaker 2: But yeah, that's a good pick because I think he's

1066
00:52:10,600 --> 00:52:13,400
Speaker 2: gonna be He's gonna have to have a really good performance,

1067
00:52:13,480 --> 00:52:16,280
Speaker 2: especially if they go low with the numbers at linebacker,

1068
00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:18,439
Speaker 2: knowing they only dress. You know, they only play too

1069
00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,759
Speaker 2: in their defense, so if they got to rob from

1070
00:52:21,800 --> 00:52:24,920
Speaker 2: one position to fill out another that has more talent,

1071
00:52:25,400 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 2: linebacker could fall victim to that. So hopefully he doesn't

1072
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:30,799
Speaker 2: get caught up in a numbers game and makes the roster.

1073
00:52:30,840 --> 00:52:32,279
Speaker 3: But we'll have to wait and see. Gotta take a

1074
00:52:32,280 --> 00:52:34,600
Speaker 3: break here hour number two. More of your phone calls.

1075
00:52:34,880 --> 00:52:36,760
Speaker 2: Give us a player on offense, Give us a player

1076
00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,320
Speaker 2: on defense that can make a case for a roster

1077
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,440
Speaker 2: spot with an inspiring performance on Saturday against the Pathers.

1078
00:52:42,440 --> 00:52:44,719
Speaker 2: Eight h three oh five fifty one eighty eight five

Speaker 2: tasking with you. One Bills Live is the show, and

1085
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,840
Speaker 2: we do have some additional news concerning Saturday's preseason finale

1086
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 2: against the Panthers. We already know the Bills are not

1087
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:54,680
Speaker 2: dress playing starters in this game, maybe with a few exceptions.

1088
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 2: The Panthers, however, are going to play their starters on Saturday.

1089
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,239
Speaker 2: That according to first year head coach Dave Canalis, he

1090
00:54:02,320 --> 00:54:04,720
Speaker 2: basically said, quote, my hope is to get the starters

1091
00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: out there early in the game, get them some exposure.

1092
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,719
Speaker 2: The importance of it to me is how valuable the

1093
00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:12,040
Speaker 2: night before prep is, waking up in the morning. We

1094
00:54:12,080 --> 00:54:13,759
Speaker 2: have a one o'clock kick. We've got a lot of

1095
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:16,719
Speaker 2: those this year, so just the body readiness. This is

1096
00:54:16,760 --> 00:54:19,120
Speaker 2: a great opportunity to go through their pregame routines with

1097
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,400
Speaker 2: each other, to have communication on the sideline. So I

1098
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:24,080
Speaker 2: love this opportunity for the guys, and they're excited about it.

1099
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,000
Speaker 2: When he was asked specifically, is that just the plan

1100
00:54:28,160 --> 00:54:32,600
Speaker 2: for one group or all starters, Canalis said, I hope

1101
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: all starters are playing now. We should note that to

1102
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:41,360
Speaker 2: this point, starters have not played at all in the

1103
00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:44,959
Speaker 2: preseason for the Carolina Panthers in either of the first

1104
00:54:44,960 --> 00:54:49,359
Speaker 2: two preseason games, so it makes sense that he wants

1105
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:51,440
Speaker 2: to get at least some time for them on the field,

1106
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:55,799
Speaker 2: you know, before the opener for them. As we know,

1107
00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:58,799
Speaker 2: bill starters have played. They played a quarter in the

1108
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:00,239
Speaker 2: first one and a quarter and a half up in

1109
00:55:00,280 --> 00:55:06,400
Speaker 2: the second one. So they're sitting there, starters Panthers playing theirs. Yeah, okay,

1110
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:09,319
Speaker 2: I think it helps the Bills with evaluation for some

1111
00:55:09,400 --> 00:55:11,080
Speaker 2: of those back in the roster guys. They're going against

1112
00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,759
Speaker 2: starting caliber players. That's a good thing I think for

1113
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:14,399
Speaker 2: the Bills.

1114
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:17,959
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't.

1115
00:55:18,560 --> 00:55:23,239
Speaker 5: We're not paying much attention to Carolina Panthers, but I

1116
00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:27,239
Speaker 5: it is notable that they waited until the third preseason

1117
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,400
Speaker 5: game to give their starters time on the field.

1118
00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:34,319
Speaker 1: I don't know why. Why third? Why not? Why not

1119
00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:35,160
Speaker 1: the first or second?

1120
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,840
Speaker 2: It was It was a little cryptic because Canalis was asked,

1121
00:55:39,000 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 2: you know, why not sooner? And then he told the reporters, well,

1122
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,680
Speaker 2: I was never opposed to playing those guys in the

1123
00:55:43,680 --> 00:55:44,400
Speaker 2: first two weeks.

1124
00:55:44,600 --> 00:55:47,160
Speaker 1: Well who was, Well, then, why didn't you who was

1125
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 1: opposed to? Well, I mean that's okay.

1126
00:55:53,160 --> 00:55:56,279
Speaker 2: He said, Okay, So here he explained that. Here's what

1127
00:55:56,320 --> 00:55:59,360
Speaker 2: he said. Honestly, it was really just about the grasp

1128
00:55:59,600 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 2: of the system. Going back to that talking about the

1129
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,440
Speaker 2: confident play. I was open to playing them in the

1130
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,520
Speaker 2: first one. I was open to playing them in the

1131
00:56:06,520 --> 00:56:09,280
Speaker 2: second one. We had that great week of work against

1132
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 2: the Jets, and we had a couple of guys. We

1133
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:13,600
Speaker 2: knew we were going to get back this week, so

1134
00:56:13,920 --> 00:56:16,160
Speaker 2: we thought, why don't we wait another week to get

1135
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:18,000
Speaker 2: a stronger group to put out there.

1136
00:56:18,840 --> 00:56:19,880
Speaker 3: Okay, that's his logic.

1137
00:56:20,000 --> 00:56:22,640
Speaker 1: I can live with that. Then that makes some sense.

1138
00:56:23,200 --> 00:56:23,480
Speaker 13: But I.

1139
00:56:25,320 --> 00:56:28,960
Speaker 5: How many two, a couple three, How many guys were

1140
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:29,640
Speaker 5: they getting back?

1141
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, and I so, yeah, okay, they did sit.

1142
00:56:36,520 --> 00:56:42,279
Speaker 2: Thirty players in each of the first two games, So yeah,

1143
00:56:42,360 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean everybody's doing it differently, I guessed, and Panthers

1144
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,960
Speaker 2: are clearly the exception to the rule in terms of

1145
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:52,759
Speaker 2: when your players are doing it.

1146
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:53,439
Speaker 3: In the last one.

1147
00:56:53,719 --> 00:56:58,120
Speaker 2: Now, that could work too, because let's not forget even

1148
00:56:58,160 --> 00:57:02,040
Speaker 2: if you play start in the last preseason game, it's

1149
00:57:02,040 --> 00:57:04,680
Speaker 2: still two weeks before you get to the opener. That's

1150
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,440
Speaker 2: still a stretch of time that you're not seeing live bullets.

1151
00:57:08,200 --> 00:57:10,840
Speaker 2: And if you don't dress your or player starters in

1152
00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,000
Speaker 2: that last preseason game, now you're going on three weeks

1153
00:57:13,960 --> 00:57:16,360
Speaker 2: before they've last seen live action.

1154
00:57:17,120 --> 00:57:19,240
Speaker 3: So I think there's something to be said. Go when

1155
00:57:19,280 --> 00:57:20,440
Speaker 3: you got that two week after.

1156
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 5: The game's happening this week, then everybody's off Labor Day

1157
00:57:22,840 --> 00:57:24,680
Speaker 5: week and then the game the season kicks off the

1158
00:57:24,680 --> 00:57:29,080
Speaker 5: weekend after. Yeah, so you're right, it is seventeen days

1159
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:32,680
Speaker 5: or whatever. Yeah, so all right, that's and that's nice,

1160
00:57:33,000 --> 00:57:42,400
Speaker 5: but just whatever, you're flummoxed whatever. Yeah, I don't. You don't.

1161
00:57:43,280 --> 00:57:45,439
Speaker 5: Maybe it's because I'm not used to having a team

1162
00:57:45,560 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 5: admit or say or or do what they said they did.

1163
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:51,680
Speaker 1: You're waiting on two guys to get healthy.

1164
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know how many. What we know there's

1165
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,760
Speaker 3: they're decimated at the cornerback position, but they're not getting

1166
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,200
Speaker 3: any of those guys back this week.

1167
00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:03,520
Speaker 1: So who Yeah, I don't know who are you getting back?

1168
00:58:03,560 --> 00:58:05,440
Speaker 1: I mean what both left? Both tackles.

1169
00:58:05,480 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 3: Maybe, So I'm perplexed.

1170
00:58:09,560 --> 00:58:12,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, why you're waiting on guys like what happens if

1171
00:58:12,560 --> 00:58:14,360
Speaker 5: they get hurt the regular season? You're gonna take take

1172
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,280
Speaker 5: a week off, then say, listen, we're gonna wait, We're

1173
00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:17,760
Speaker 5: gonna play this game next week because we want to

1174
00:58:17,760 --> 00:58:18,680
Speaker 5: get a couple of guys back.

1175
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:22,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you just it's that makes no sense

1176
00:58:22,120 --> 00:58:22,320
Speaker 1: to me.

1177
00:58:23,440 --> 00:58:25,200
Speaker 5: Well, we thought we'd get a couple of guys back

1178
00:58:25,240 --> 00:58:26,919
Speaker 5: healthy and then you know, we so we just thought

1179
00:58:26,960 --> 00:58:28,600
Speaker 5: we'd get dude.

1180
00:58:30,040 --> 00:58:32,000
Speaker 3: Is that a bad omen for the Carolina Panthers.

1181
00:58:32,480 --> 00:58:34,320
Speaker 5: Well, they're gonna they gonna fold up their tent if

1182
00:58:34,320 --> 00:58:35,720
Speaker 5: they lose three guys to injury.

1183
00:58:36,280 --> 00:58:36,800
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1184
00:58:37,640 --> 00:58:40,160
Speaker 2: Uh, we are asking you to give us one player

1185
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:42,640
Speaker 2: on offense, one player on defense for the Bills that

1186
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,440
Speaker 2: can make a case for a roster spot with a

1187
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:49,000
Speaker 2: big time performance on Saturday against the Panthers. So you

1188
00:58:49,000 --> 00:58:50,680
Speaker 2: can let us know at eight oh three oh five

1189
00:58:50,840 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 2: fifty one eight eight eight five fifty two five fifty

1190
00:58:53,760 --> 00:58:55,000
Speaker 2: that's the number to get on board.

1191
00:58:55,480 --> 00:58:58,080
Speaker 3: And we are going to crack open the tweet sheet

1192
00:58:58,320 --> 00:58:58,919
Speaker 3: at this time.

1193
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 2: Tweet sheet brought to you by Corrigan Moving Systems, the

1194
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 2: official equipment moving company of the Buffalo Bills and face

1195
00:59:05,560 --> 00:59:10,440
Speaker 2: of Bear says Andreasen for obvious reasons. Shavers for his

1196
00:59:10,480 --> 00:59:14,880
Speaker 2: special team's ability and improved blocking.

1197
00:59:15,800 --> 00:59:17,920
Speaker 3: So Andresen on defense, Shavers on offense.

1198
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I think both of them are gonna have

1199
00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:21,800
Speaker 2: a really good look at the fifteenth.

1200
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:22,560
Speaker 1: They've got a shot.

1201
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:30,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, We've talked about Shavers a lot. He's been of

1202
00:59:30,240 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 5: him and Shorter he's been the one that's been most

1203
00:59:33,960 --> 00:59:37,240
Speaker 5: effective and so and when I was going through our

1204
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,400
Speaker 5: list of which guys we thought was gonna make the team.

1205
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,160
Speaker 1: How many numbers and stuff. That guy is at the cusp.

1206
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,240
Speaker 5: You're right, he's the guy that may be first guy

1207
00:59:47,240 --> 00:59:49,919
Speaker 5: out that doesn't make it. If they keep like six

1208
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Speaker 5: or if they keep seven, we'll see.

1209
00:59:58,360 --> 00:59:59,400
Speaker 1: Yeah. I liked him.

1210
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:02,880
Speaker 5: He's a good player. He's he's elevated, he's got the

1211
01:00:02,880 --> 01:00:05,400
Speaker 5: size you want. He has gotten better with each day

1212
01:00:05,400 --> 01:00:11,360
Speaker 5: at camp. I think that may be the quintessential example

1213
01:00:11,400 --> 01:00:12,480
Speaker 5: of a guy who could do it.

1214
01:00:12,600 --> 01:00:19,000
Speaker 2: This weekend, Tom on the tweet sheet says Javon Solomon.

1215
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 3: We're gonna need him down the stretch for his pass

1216
01:00:21,240 --> 01:00:23,400
Speaker 3: rushing ability. Gore Junior.

1217
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 2: I would like him to impress everyone, but I still

1218
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,200
Speaker 2: feel he'll be a practice squad guy that's called.

1219
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:31,400
Speaker 3: Up for injury. Frank Gore runs like a running back.

1220
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:31,959
Speaker 3: I mean it looks.

1221
01:00:32,040 --> 01:00:33,360
Speaker 2: What I mean by that is he looks like a

1222
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:38,200
Speaker 2: football player. Like he's undersized, he's not the fastest, but

1223
01:00:38,320 --> 01:00:42,600
Speaker 2: he just looks like a football player. And if the

1224
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:46,480
Speaker 2: coaching staff feels there's enough there that maybe they can

1225
01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:50,680
Speaker 2: develop him. Yeah, maybe he does get an opportunity on.

1226
01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:51,480
Speaker 3: The practice squad.

1227
01:00:51,520 --> 01:00:53,640
Speaker 2: We'll have to wait and see, because I think the

1228
01:00:53,720 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 2: running back position, barring an injury.

1229
01:00:55,720 --> 01:00:57,080
Speaker 3: Is is pretty cut and dry.

1230
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,160
Speaker 2: You know, it's it's James Cook, it's Johnson, and it's

1231
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,320
Speaker 2: Ray Davis, and then your fullback is Reggie Gilliam. So

1232
01:01:04,520 --> 01:01:06,960
Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough roster to crack at that

1233
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:09,440
Speaker 2: position because I don't see them going with any more

1234
01:01:09,480 --> 01:01:11,280
Speaker 2: backs than that, but they will carry one or two

1235
01:01:11,280 --> 01:01:13,640
Speaker 2: on the practice squad. And I think Gore is gonna

1236
01:01:13,680 --> 01:01:16,400
Speaker 2: get a sniff of that. He played well last week

1237
01:01:16,400 --> 01:01:17,080
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh.

1238
01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,960
Speaker 5: He did, he ran well, and in this phase of

1239
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:26,240
Speaker 5: two this we've we've conjectured that running back and offensive

1240
01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,480
Speaker 5: line are gonna be a little bit bigger engine on

1241
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:31,640
Speaker 5: this offense than they've been asked to be in the past,

1242
01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:33,880
Speaker 5: like they were in the second half of last year

1243
01:01:33,920 --> 01:01:35,320
Speaker 5: when Joe Brady took over. And I don't know if

1244
01:01:35,360 --> 01:01:38,160
Speaker 5: that's gonna be the case continue into this year, but

1245
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:40,520
Speaker 5: I know this this offense is gonna hum and they've

1246
01:01:40,560 --> 01:01:42,919
Speaker 5: got that guy at quarterback, and they've got some guys

1247
01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:45,120
Speaker 5: a wide receiver and tight end that are that have

1248
01:01:45,160 --> 01:01:47,000
Speaker 5: a chance to light it up, particularly behind a really

1249
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:49,200
Speaker 5: good offensive line. And if they get into the second

1250
01:01:49,240 --> 01:01:51,720
Speaker 5: half of games and they're up a couple of touchdowns,

1251
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:54,480
Speaker 5: They're not gonna throw it. They're gonna run the ball

1252
01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:56,280
Speaker 5: short in the game, and it's gonna make it impossible

1253
01:01:56,320 --> 01:01:57,720
Speaker 5: to get back in the game with it. This team

1254
01:01:57,760 --> 01:02:03,120
Speaker 5: has always been under Sean McDermott, possible, virtually impossible to

1255
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:05,560
Speaker 5: blow out, get out ahead of them, run off and leave.

1256
01:02:05,600 --> 01:02:07,640
Speaker 5: It's happened like less than a handful of times in

1257
01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,880
Speaker 5: their entire career here entire tenure.

1258
01:02:10,640 --> 01:02:12,040
Speaker 1: It's gonna continue to be the case.

1259
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:14,880
Speaker 5: If they get beat, it's gonna be a tight game,

1260
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 5: and if they get out in front of people, they

1261
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,560
Speaker 5: are gonna be really hard to catch up to because

1262
01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 5: you're not gonna have enough possessions because of this running game.

1263
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:29,160
Speaker 1: So yeah, I think they may.

1264
01:02:29,040 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 5: Put a premium on that position this year like they

1265
01:02:31,400 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 5: haven't in the past, and Frank Gore is a guy

1266
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:37,000
Speaker 5: that may just hang around the building and get a chance.

1267
01:02:37,600 --> 01:02:40,480
Speaker 2: Solomon on defense, I think he's on the roster already.

1268
01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 2: I think he's flashed enough, done enough to convince them

1269
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:46,960
Speaker 2: that we can't sneak that guy through waivers and put

1270
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:49,200
Speaker 2: him on the bractic squad. Or we're gonna lose him.

1271
01:02:49,440 --> 01:02:51,840
Speaker 2: He's gonna have to be on the active roster. So

1272
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,440
Speaker 2: take that for what you will. Tim on the tweets

1273
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:59,520
Speaker 2: sheet says, Zach Davidson and Joe Andreeson both have shown

1274
01:02:59,520 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 2: they belong to the nfl A. Zach is a huge

1275
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:04,240
Speaker 2: target for Josh and someone needs to explain how a

1276
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,760
Speaker 2: player with the athleticism Joe has somehow fallen between the

1277
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:12,200
Speaker 2: cracks of thirty one teams. Yeah, I don't know that

1278
01:03:12,240 --> 01:03:14,560
Speaker 2: we can speak to that. All we can speak to

1279
01:03:14,680 --> 01:03:17,600
Speaker 2: is how he has performed through the course of the preseason. Now,

1280
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:22,000
Speaker 2: I will say this, I think you know what his

1281
01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:26,560
Speaker 2: skill set is regarding run stopping ability. What you did

1282
01:03:26,560 --> 01:03:30,160
Speaker 2: not see a whole lot of was pass coverage. Like

1283
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 2: everybody wanted to see how Dorian Williams was going to

1284
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:36,680
Speaker 2: do in pass coverage because that's his perceived weakness to

1285
01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,520
Speaker 2: his game, And you played the Steelers who couldn't throw

1286
01:03:39,520 --> 01:03:43,000
Speaker 2: the ball in the ocean, let alone to a receiver

1287
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:44,160
Speaker 2: with any regularity.

1288
01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 3: So you really didn't get a good read on that.

1289
01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: Nor did you see that part of Andresen's game all

1290
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,440
Speaker 2: that much. He made a couple of open field tackles

1291
01:03:52,440 --> 01:03:54,840
Speaker 2: after some throws to the flat. But I'm talking like

1292
01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:57,560
Speaker 2: dropping in the hook zone and you know, making those

1293
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 2: kinds of reads.

1294
01:03:58,240 --> 01:04:01,600
Speaker 1: And coverage, getting some PBu some pass breakups.

1295
01:04:01,240 --> 01:04:03,280
Speaker 2: Right, And we didn't really get to see any of

1296
01:04:03,280 --> 01:04:05,120
Speaker 2: that for the linebackers.

1297
01:04:04,880 --> 01:04:08,200
Speaker 1: Right, it was and you know, credit the front.

1298
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:10,960
Speaker 5: They did a lot of good things, which you know,

1299
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:14,560
Speaker 5: took the Steelers' ability to throw the football away. I

1300
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:16,800
Speaker 5: mean they were all over the screen pass that the Steelers.

1301
01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:18,880
Speaker 5: The only way they could complete stuff was short and

1302
01:04:18,960 --> 01:04:22,840
Speaker 5: quick screen passes and flat routes.

1303
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,440
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw it all night.

1304
01:04:24,880 --> 01:04:27,360
Speaker 3: And we were you know, we had a chance to

1305
01:04:27,800 --> 01:04:31,040
Speaker 3: just talk to Bobby Babbage in passing today and he said, yeah,

1306
01:04:31,080 --> 01:04:32,800
Speaker 3: it's almost like a party. You wanted to tell your

1307
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 3: defensive line to pack off so they had time to throw.

1308
01:04:35,320 --> 01:04:38,959
Speaker 2: The balls, you could get a better evaluation of your linebackers, take.

1309
01:04:38,880 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 5: A knee so he could get a pass coverage. And

1310
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 5: so yeah, I mean that's we'll see. But it's going

1311
01:04:45,000 --> 01:04:47,240
Speaker 5: to continue to be the case. I wouldn't be surprised

1312
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,360
Speaker 5: if Andresen is a guy who plays a lot this week.

1313
01:04:51,160 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 1: Go do it again, Go do it again. Back it up.

1314
01:04:54,160 --> 01:04:56,120
Speaker 5: And that's and it's and that is as big an

1315
01:04:56,160 --> 01:05:00,360
Speaker 5: opportunity as last week against Pittsburgh was. So Yet that

1316
01:05:01,840 --> 01:05:03,960
Speaker 5: because also, I mean, they're not gonna put Terrell Bernard

1317
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,720
Speaker 5: and Dorian Williams out there. It doesn't look like this game. Yeah,

1318
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,400
Speaker 5: you know, they're not gonna put in the like Deon

1319
01:05:11,560 --> 01:05:13,959
Speaker 5: Jones and Nick Morrow out there.

1320
01:05:15,160 --> 01:05:16,320
Speaker 3: Oh, I think they'll be out there.

1321
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 1: They might, they might.

1322
01:05:18,400 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 2: Moro hasn't played in the preseason yet. He kind of

1323
01:05:20,560 --> 01:05:22,240
Speaker 2: needs to show something that's true.

1324
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:23,760
Speaker 3: I think I think he'll be out there.

1325
01:05:23,800 --> 01:05:25,200
Speaker 5: But I think that you know, you're down to this.

1326
01:05:26,520 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure that the coaching staff, as good as

1327
01:05:29,040 --> 01:05:33,360
Speaker 5: Andresen has been in this preseason, they're not counting on

1328
01:05:33,440 --> 01:05:36,960
Speaker 5: him to be the guy on opening day that those

1329
01:05:37,200 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 5: even though if even if he's gonna make it the roster,

1330
01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,160
Speaker 5: they're gonna give him a chance to play so that

1331
01:05:41,200 --> 01:05:43,200
Speaker 5: those guys who are going to be out there on

1332
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:46,440
Speaker 5: snap one of the twenty twenty four regular season don't

1333
01:05:46,480 --> 01:05:48,800
Speaker 5: get risked in this game against Carolina.

1334
01:05:48,880 --> 01:05:54,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it'll be interesting to see who's out there

1335
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:56,960
Speaker 2: at the start of the game on Saturday. Steve on

1336
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:00,760
Speaker 2: the tweets she says Kingsley Jonathan for defense, Keeping six

1337
01:06:00,800 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 2: at defensive end will be tough, but his special team's

1338
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:05,040
Speaker 2: importance and how he has shined will make him tougher

1339
01:06:05,040 --> 01:06:07,919
Speaker 2: to cut Hamler on offense. He's been dealt some rough

1340
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:09,800
Speaker 2: cards in his career. He adds a dimension that we

1341
01:06:09,840 --> 01:06:12,640
Speaker 2: do not have with speed and returnability.

1342
01:06:13,240 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 3: I think Jonathan's gonna make it.

1343
01:06:14,760 --> 01:06:17,040
Speaker 2: I think they are going to keep six defensive ends

1344
01:06:17,800 --> 01:06:20,080
Speaker 2: due primarily to the fact that von Miller, I think

1345
01:06:20,160 --> 01:06:21,880
Speaker 2: is just going to be a passer, a specialist and

1346
01:06:21,920 --> 01:06:25,560
Speaker 2: play maybe thirty snaps a game. And you've also got

1347
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:29,200
Speaker 2: Jonathan showed on special teams last week, helped him a lot.

1348
01:06:29,360 --> 01:06:32,919
Speaker 3: At big hit he had on coverage. He's a guy

1349
01:06:32,960 --> 01:06:35,080
Speaker 3: that can run and serve on special teams even though

1350
01:06:35,080 --> 01:06:35,880
Speaker 3: he's an end right.

1351
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:38,880
Speaker 5: And there's also a guy like Dwayne Smoot who can

1352
01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:39,760
Speaker 5: move down inside.

1353
01:06:39,800 --> 01:06:40,560
Speaker 1: He can play both.

1354
01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:42,200
Speaker 5: So you got a swing guy, so you can keep

1355
01:06:42,280 --> 01:06:45,920
Speaker 5: him and count him towards both positions, so you can

1356
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:48,320
Speaker 5: keep an extra guy at one or the other, knowing

1357
01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:49,200
Speaker 5: you've got it backed up.

1358
01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:50,760
Speaker 1: So I'm I'm with you, Brownie.

1359
01:06:50,800 --> 01:06:53,880
Speaker 5: I they may keep six guys out there at end

1360
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 5: at end.

1361
01:06:55,400 --> 01:07:00,240
Speaker 1: But that does put a burden the four guys or four, But.

1362
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:02,760
Speaker 3: You can put somebody like Ilianko on the practice squad

1363
01:07:02,800 --> 01:07:03,600
Speaker 3: at defensive tea.

1364
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:07,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, that you can get through a game with four

1365
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:08,160
Speaker 5: defensive tackles.

1366
01:07:08,280 --> 01:07:08,480
Speaker 1: Yeah.

1367
01:07:09,720 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 2: Jack on the tweets, she says On offense, I think

1368
01:07:11,880 --> 01:07:15,000
Speaker 2: Ty Johnson is battling Darrnton Evans at running back. Both

1369
01:07:15,040 --> 01:07:17,200
Speaker 2: should play in this game. Evans is fast and can

1370
01:07:17,240 --> 01:07:19,720
Speaker 2: be a kick returner. Ty has power and burst but

1371
01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:20,360
Speaker 2: has been hurt.

1372
01:07:20,760 --> 01:07:22,440
Speaker 3: Both have to show up on defense.

1373
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 2: JaMarcus Ingram has a shot to force his way onto

1374
01:07:24,600 --> 01:07:27,320
Speaker 2: the fifty three as the fifth corner. Nice size will

1375
01:07:27,400 --> 01:07:31,520
Speaker 2: run hit and support has looked good. I think Ingram's

1376
01:07:31,520 --> 01:07:34,360
Speaker 2: a lock on the roster. I think he's right behind Elim.

1377
01:07:34,400 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: I think he's the fourth corner. I mean, if you're

1378
01:07:36,920 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 2: counting Tarran, because he's your nickel and he starts, okay,

1379
01:07:40,120 --> 01:07:41,120
Speaker 2: you call him the fifth corner.

1380
01:07:41,160 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 3: I think Ingram's on this roster.

1381
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:44,760
Speaker 2: I think they might even keep six corners because I

1382
01:07:44,760 --> 01:07:46,160
Speaker 2: think day Kwon Hardy's.

1383
01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:46,600
Speaker 3: On this roster too.

1384
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,240
Speaker 2: So so now you got the three starters Tarn along

1385
01:07:51,280 --> 01:07:53,880
Speaker 2: with Benford and Douglas, and then you have elim and

1386
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:55,360
Speaker 2: Ingram that's five.

1387
01:07:56,600 --> 01:07:58,600
Speaker 3: I think Hardy makes a team too. I think they

1388
01:07:58,640 --> 01:08:01,520
Speaker 3: keep six corners, right, because he's returning.

1389
01:08:01,200 --> 01:08:04,040
Speaker 1: For safeties and yeah, and Hardy as well.

1390
01:08:03,800 --> 01:08:05,440
Speaker 3: In the return game last week, don't you think.

1391
01:08:05,640 --> 01:08:08,440
Speaker 5: Yes, I don't know if kJ Hamler and Deakwon Hardy

1392
01:08:08,440 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 5: both make the club.

1393
01:08:09,280 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 2: No, I yeah, I think that's a one or the

1394
01:08:11,040 --> 01:08:14,960
Speaker 2: other situation. And I think Hardy has played corner back

1395
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:19,520
Speaker 2: better than Hammler has played receiver, right in my opinion.

1396
01:08:19,360 --> 01:08:20,839
Speaker 1: Yes, I would agree, made more plays.

1397
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:25,639
Speaker 2: So that's why I think six is a distinct possibility there,

1398
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 2: carl On the tweet, she says, Richard Garage or Tyland

1399
01:08:30,200 --> 01:08:33,760
Speaker 2: Grable on offense and Joe Andriesen on defense. We've had

1400
01:08:33,760 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 2: this discussion already, Steve, who's going to be the fourth

1401
01:08:36,080 --> 01:08:40,400
Speaker 2: tackle that they keep? Because Ryan Vandermark is your swing tackle, who's.

1402
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,480
Speaker 5: Your fourth tailand Grabils played really well. I like his athleticism. Yeah,

1403
01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:49,760
Speaker 5: And I'm not going to sit here and say I'm

1404
01:08:49,760 --> 01:08:52,200
Speaker 5: an offensive line specialist, but I think the more athletic

1405
01:08:52,280 --> 01:08:55,479
Speaker 5: you are, the better it is. And Grabil is big

1406
01:08:55,520 --> 01:08:59,280
Speaker 5: and athletic, and that's the prerequisite for being good.

1407
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:02,240
Speaker 2: And he's probably another guy former, you know, a draft

1408
01:09:02,320 --> 01:09:03,840
Speaker 2: choice that you're not gonna be able to sneak through

1409
01:09:03,840 --> 01:09:06,360
Speaker 2: waivers just because of what he's put on preseason tape.

1410
01:09:06,439 --> 01:09:10,320
Speaker 2: So I think he's your fourth tackle and I believe

1411
01:09:10,360 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 2: he's on the roster garage. Would be a strong practice

1412
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 2: squad candidate. And I think you know, he's a guy

1413
01:09:16,240 --> 01:09:19,839
Speaker 2: that they've tried to work at guard and tackle and would.

1414
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 3: Be a valuable depth piece.

1415
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:23,439
Speaker 2: But I think he gets caught up in the numbers

1416
01:09:23,479 --> 01:09:27,120
Speaker 2: game here and winds up on the practice squad. Ultimately,

1417
01:09:27,560 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: let's get back to the phones at eight oh three

1418
01:09:29,720 --> 01:09:32,479
Speaker 2: five point fifty one, eight eight five fifty two, five

1419
01:09:32,600 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 2: fifty give us a player on offense, a player on

1420
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,600
Speaker 2: defense that you think can make a case for a

1421
01:09:36,720 --> 01:09:37,680
Speaker 2: roster spot.

1422
01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,160
Speaker 3: This Saturday, we go to William in Buffalo.

1423
01:09:40,240 --> 01:09:40,439
Speaker 1: Next.

1424
01:09:40,439 --> 01:09:46,880
Speaker 8: What's up, William, Hey, good afternoon. I know I like

1425
01:09:47,080 --> 01:09:51,759
Speaker 8: Davidson Cook at running back, but really, Frank Gord Junior

1426
01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:58,200
Speaker 8: looks like a force to be recking with, and I'd

1427
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:02,880
Speaker 8: like to see him making and of course on de

1428
01:10:03,080 --> 01:10:06,960
Speaker 8: front side, like to see Von Miller make it back

1429
01:10:07,439 --> 01:10:10,719
Speaker 8: and become a force again.

1430
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:16,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I get that William The signs have been encouraging

1431
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 2: in training camp. He's not going to touch the preseason field,

1432
01:10:20,160 --> 01:10:23,000
Speaker 2: so don't look for Von Miller on Saturday, and they're

1433
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:25,599
Speaker 2: just trying to get him to the regular season with

1434
01:10:25,640 --> 01:10:26,759
Speaker 2: what he's got under the hood.

1435
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:29,400
Speaker 3: But you've seen the quick twitch. We've kind of seen

1436
01:10:29,400 --> 01:10:32,400
Speaker 3: it at practice, so that's good.

1437
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:35,880
Speaker 2: And for those of our team that have been down,

1438
01:10:35,960 --> 01:10:38,439
Speaker 2: that were down at the joint practices last week against Pittsburgh,

1439
01:10:38,439 --> 01:10:40,600
Speaker 2: they said he had a couple of nice rushes for

1440
01:10:40,640 --> 01:10:44,320
Speaker 2: a would be sack as well. So it sounds like

1441
01:10:44,360 --> 01:10:46,680
Speaker 2: the burst and the twitches back in Von's game and

1442
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:49,280
Speaker 2: that's a good thing. And then as for Frank Gore,

1443
01:10:49,320 --> 01:10:51,320
Speaker 2: I mean we kind of covered it. He's gonna play

1444
01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:55,000
Speaker 2: a ton in this game. And I think he's a

1445
01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,479
Speaker 2: strong practice squad candidate. I just think he's caught up

1446
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:00,840
Speaker 2: in a numbers game at running back, where you know

1447
01:11:00,880 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 2: they have a draft choice there, they have a former

1448
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:06,160
Speaker 2: draft choice there at a fifteen hundred yard season, and

1449
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 2: they have a power guy in Ty Johnson who they

1450
01:11:08,960 --> 01:11:12,000
Speaker 2: like a lot. So I think it's gonna be hard

1451
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,800
Speaker 2: for Frank Gore Junior to crack this rosterism.

1452
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:17,360
Speaker 5: Well, that doesn't mean they don't find a way to

1453
01:11:17,439 --> 01:11:19,800
Speaker 5: keep him in the building. Yeah, but yeah, that's I

1454
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,720
Speaker 5: don't know that he can make the fifty three. You're right,

1455
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:26,320
Speaker 5: that's a dark horse. If Frank Gore makes it, it'll

1456
01:11:26,439 --> 01:11:30,400
Speaker 5: be because the coaching staff or Brandon Bean sees something

1457
01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,760
Speaker 5: that we haven't seen, or know something that we don't know.

1458
01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 2: We are gonna take a break here because when we

1459
01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 2: come back, we'll get some commentary from a guy we

1460
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,840
Speaker 2: haven't heard from in a while. Cole Bishop addressed some

1461
01:11:42,960 --> 01:11:46,280
Speaker 2: media members after practice today. We're gonna hear from him

1462
01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:49,360
Speaker 2: to see how his return to the practice field is going.

1463
01:11:49,680 --> 01:11:52,599
Speaker 2: Still wearing that red non contact jersey. We'll catch up

1464
01:11:52,600 --> 01:11:54,559

1468
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:20,200
Speaker 2: comments post practice from Bill's rookie safety Cole Bishop had

1469
01:12:20,320 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 2: just worked himself back onto the practice field this week,

1470
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,400
Speaker 2: coming back from his shoulder injury in a red non

1471
01:12:26,479 --> 01:12:30,000
Speaker 2: contact jersey for the most part this week, So here

1472
01:12:30,080 --> 01:12:32,439
Speaker 2: is an update from Cole himself on how things are

1473

Speaker 14: Yeah, cold, just in general, how you.

1475
01:12:37,200 --> 01:12:42,040
Speaker 15: Feel good it's gonna be back out there. Third day

1476
01:12:42,040 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 15: back today, it was kind of a light to day,

1477
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:44,880
Speaker 15: but hoshcho days felt really good.

1478
01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,599
Speaker 14: Does it feel like catching up or does it feel

1479
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,840
Speaker 14: like now just kind of doing the things you've been

1480
01:12:48,880 --> 01:12:50,439
Speaker 14: watching everybody else too for the last.

1481
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 15: Couple of weeks, say, Dune, you know the things you've

1482
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:55,519
Speaker 15: been watching because I'm still in the contact, I'm just

1483
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 15: doing the individual stuff right now, and all that's going

1484
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 15: going good for you.

1485
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,559
Speaker 14: What do you need to do to try and get

1486
01:13:00,600 --> 01:13:02,840
Speaker 14: back to that point understanding though you have to go

1487
01:13:02,880 --> 01:13:04,080
Speaker 14: to pace that you can actually go.

1488
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:07,519
Speaker 15: At get healthy, I mean, got a heal. That's really

1489
01:13:07,560 --> 01:13:09,719
Speaker 15: it hard it's.

1490
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:12,439
Speaker 16: Been for you during the days and weeks where you

1491
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:14,320
Speaker 16: weren't able to practice and you're kind of having to

1492
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:17,760
Speaker 16: watch and maybe mentally prepare yourself in a different way

1493
01:13:17,800 --> 01:13:19,240
Speaker 16: other than gang sort of live reps.

1494
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:21,559
Speaker 15: Yeah, obviously I'd rather be out there playing, but it's

1495
01:13:21,560 --> 01:13:23,880
Speaker 15: a good opportunity to get more mental reps. It's kind

1496
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:26,360
Speaker 15: of different, different perspective when you're staying on the siling,

1497
01:13:26,360 --> 01:13:28,840
Speaker 15: you're able to see more, so you start anticipating and

1498
01:13:28,880 --> 01:13:31,080
Speaker 15: you know, being able to see what we're gonna check

1499
01:13:31,080 --> 01:13:31,680
Speaker 15: to and things like.

1500
01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,439
Speaker 16: That during that time when you were gain mental reps.

1501
01:13:34,479 --> 01:13:36,599
Speaker 16: Then where did you feel like you grew the most

1502
01:13:37,080 --> 01:13:37,719
Speaker 16: during that time?

1503
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 15: Just with my knowledge of the playbook, A lot more

1504
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,840
Speaker 15: confident now than I was, you know, during OTA's and

1505
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,280
Speaker 15: I was really confident when I got, you know, hurt

1506
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,479
Speaker 15: and everything. So trying to just keep that momentum.

1507
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:50,639
Speaker 14: And nobody would want to be hurt. But you almost

1508
01:13:50,640 --> 01:13:52,719
Speaker 14: feel like you learned it back to front and maybe

1509
01:13:52,720 --> 01:13:55,719
Speaker 14: that could one day be a benefit for you.

1510
01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:58,639
Speaker 15: Yes and no, Like I said, I was confident before

1511
01:13:58,680 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 15: the injury. I was starting to feel really good. So

1512
01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,719
Speaker 15: just kind of trying to keep that and learn more

1513
01:14:03,880 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 15: from there. So to me, So, I guess how much.

1514
01:14:07,200 --> 01:14:08,800
Speaker 16: Of a help as Taylor rat Ben just as a

1515
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,000
Speaker 16: guy that's already been in this defense for a year

1516
01:14:11,040 --> 01:14:13,040
Speaker 16: and just being able to pick his brain about this

1517
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,519
Speaker 16: defense and kind of aspects of playing safety, Yeah.

1518
01:14:15,400 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 1: Super helpful.

1519
01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,280
Speaker 15: Whether that's with the playbook, He's the guy texted the

1520
01:14:18,360 --> 01:14:21,560
Speaker 15: questions and stuff. Just being a professional. He's got to

1521
01:14:21,560 --> 01:14:23,479
Speaker 15: get routine six to and everything, so kind of just

1522
01:14:23,479 --> 01:14:25,960
Speaker 15: trying to learn everything from you know, try to absorb

1523
01:14:26,000 --> 01:14:27,320
Speaker 15: as much knowledge from him as you can.

1524
01:14:27,960 --> 01:14:28,679
Speaker 1: Can you more relate?

1525
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,640
Speaker 13: Sorry, if you were asked, it's already has it been

1526
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,080
Speaker 13: difficult for you?

1527
01:14:32,080 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 2: You're raring to go your rookie year and then to

1528
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:36,920
Speaker 2: have an injury setback, It's been difficult dealing with that.

1529
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 15: You Uh, I mean not ideal. Nobody wants to get hurt,

1530
01:14:40,120 --> 01:14:42,160
Speaker 15: but uh, just learn from it and you know, try

1531
01:14:42,160 --> 01:14:43,000
Speaker 15: to capitalize off of it.

1532
01:14:43,880 --> 01:14:45,120
Speaker 10: Call This is a simple.

1533
01:14:44,880 --> 01:14:47,000
Speaker 17: Question, but how do you get a mental rep? What

1534
01:14:47,040 --> 01:14:48,400
Speaker 17: does that look like for you?

1535
01:14:48,479 --> 01:14:50,400
Speaker 15: Yeah, so you get the call on the sideline, you know,

1536
01:14:50,400 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 15: whether that's the coach, you get into your hear one

1537
01:14:52,320 --> 01:14:56,639
Speaker 15: of the other players with the microphone, get the call, start,

1538
01:14:56,760 --> 01:14:58,000
Speaker 15: you know, trying to think about what you're gonna do

1539
01:14:58,040 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 15: once they come out in your head or even if

1540
01:15:00,320 --> 01:15:02,439
Speaker 15: you're just kind of whispering it or whatever, given the

1541
01:15:02,439 --> 01:15:03,800
Speaker 15: call that you would be given, looking at what the

1542
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,400
Speaker 15: offense is going to do, and then just kind of

1543
01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:06,800
Speaker 15: imagine yourself out there doing the play.

1544
01:15:07,200 --> 01:15:10,080
Speaker 17: Hard to be that focused through every single practice, because

1545
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,720
Speaker 17: it's one thing to go out there and physically do it,

1546
01:15:11,760 --> 01:15:13,439
Speaker 17: but to do it in your mind you have to

1547
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,200
Speaker 17: have another level focused to you.

1548
01:15:15,680 --> 01:15:17,519
Speaker 15: I wouldn't say it's hard. I mean it's definitely different,

1549
01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:19,720
Speaker 15: you know, because that's the same thing in meetings is

1550
01:15:20,560 --> 01:15:22,280
Speaker 15: you're not watching yourself. You know, you're watching the stuff

1551
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,120
Speaker 15: you already watched. So just being able to keep focused

1552
01:15:25,240 --> 01:15:26,320
Speaker 15: is the biggest thing.

1553
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,040
Speaker 1: Well, how hard is it?

1554
01:15:28,280 --> 01:15:30,280
Speaker 16: You know, as you're ramping back up not to do

1555
01:15:30,439 --> 01:15:31,280
Speaker 16: too much too soon.

1556
01:15:33,720 --> 01:15:35,439
Speaker 15: I'm just kind of trusting the trainers, you know, what

1557
01:15:35,479 --> 01:15:39,000
Speaker 15: they tell me to do, I'm gonna do. I'm eager

1558
01:15:39,080 --> 01:15:40,479
Speaker 15: to get back to see that I can. So as

1559
01:15:40,520 --> 01:15:42,160
Speaker 15: soon as I'm clear to do certain things, I'm ready

1560
01:15:42,200 --> 01:15:42,640
Speaker 15: to go with it.

1561
01:15:42,800 --> 01:15:44,600
Speaker 4: How do you feel, you know, today compared to the

1562
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,840
Speaker 4: first day that you're kind of out there doing an individual.

1563
01:15:46,760 --> 01:15:47,880
Speaker 15: Today, I don't know how long?

1564
01:15:47,960 --> 01:15:48,519
Speaker 1: Y'all right here?

1565
01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:52,200
Speaker 15: Not as much individual stuff as normal, So it felt good.

1566
01:15:52,200 --> 01:15:53,519
Speaker 15: But the pastoral days saw really good.

1567
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:55,760
Speaker 3: All right, So that's cool.

1568
01:15:55,760 --> 01:15:58,160
Speaker 2: Bishop who as you saw, they are still wearing a

1569
01:15:58,200 --> 01:16:01,920
Speaker 2: red non contact I don't think we anticipate seeing him

1570
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:06,280
Speaker 2: in Saturday's game if he's still a non contact player.

1571
01:16:06,320 --> 01:16:07,479
Speaker 3: I think that would be very.

1572
01:16:07,400 --> 01:16:11,400
Speaker 2: Unusual, so I would deem that highly unlikely. We have

1573
01:16:11,560 --> 01:16:15,040
Speaker 2: seen Mike Edwards return to the practice fold as well.

1574
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,840
Speaker 2: The other safety. Again, I don't think we're going to

1575
01:16:18,880 --> 01:16:22,160
Speaker 2: see him in the game on Saturday either, which would

1576
01:16:22,160 --> 01:16:25,200
Speaker 2: mean he, much like Torel Bernard last year, is going

1577
01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:28,080
Speaker 2: to go through the entire preseason without seeing any game action.

1578
01:16:29,160 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 5: I think there's a chance you could see the two

1579
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,000
Speaker 5: starting safeties well, I don't know. I think Rap is

1580
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:38,679
Speaker 5: going to be a starter for sure, but who's out

1581
01:16:38,680 --> 01:16:40,519
Speaker 5: there with him I think still remains to be seen.

1582
01:16:40,560 --> 01:16:42,679
Speaker 5: I think it could be either Cole Bishop or Mike Edwards.

1583
01:16:42,680 --> 01:16:45,200
Speaker 5: I think either one of them could be the guy

1584
01:16:45,240 --> 01:16:48,040
Speaker 5: that goes in there. But there's a chance of one

1585
01:16:48,040 --> 01:16:50,120
Speaker 5: of the two starting safeties, maybe both of the starting

1586
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,960
Speaker 5: safeties going to the preseason to gain the regular season

1587
01:16:53,000 --> 01:16:57,559
Speaker 5: opener without a snap of preseason, both of them. If

1588
01:16:58,200 --> 01:16:59,960
Speaker 5: if Rap something happens to wrap and he can't go,

1589
01:17:01,400 --> 01:17:03,559
Speaker 5: I don't think there's aint question. Mike Edwards, Cole Bishop,

1590
01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:04,920
Speaker 5: we're going to be on the team. They're gonna make

1591
01:17:04,960 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 5: the fifty three, even though we haven't seen them for

1592
01:17:06,960 --> 01:17:09,840
Speaker 5: two weeks. But think about this, they've got more than

1593
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:11,720
Speaker 5: two weeks to get ready for the home opener. They're

1594
01:17:11,720 --> 01:17:14,040
Speaker 5: gonna have go practices and meetings. It's like the first

1595
01:17:14,080 --> 01:17:16,640
Speaker 5: two weeks of training camp all over again. Yeah, and

1596
01:17:16,760 --> 01:17:19,880
Speaker 5: this time they're going to be able to specifically hone

1597
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:23,120
Speaker 5: in on a game plan and that will help immensely

1598
01:17:23,400 --> 01:17:25,799
Speaker 5: in their ment in their preparation. They won't be learning

1599
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,880
Speaker 5: a VOLUMEUS playbook. They're just going to be honing in

1600
01:17:28,920 --> 01:17:32,080
Speaker 5: on some certain things and that'll help them get better

1601
01:17:32,400 --> 01:17:33,599
Speaker 5: and get ready even faster.

1602
01:17:34,520 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 2: Another player that a lot of fans are wondering about

1603
01:17:37,280 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 2: is von Miller, primarily because he is not going to

1604
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:42,840
Speaker 2: set foot on a preseason game practice a preseason game

1605
01:17:42,840 --> 01:17:47,200
Speaker 2: field either. And so where is he at as we

1606
01:17:47,240 --> 01:17:49,720
Speaker 2: sit a little over two weeks away from the season opener. Well,

1607
01:17:49,800 --> 01:17:53,120
Speaker 2: von Miller answered some questions after practice today. So here

1608
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:55,960
Speaker 2: is the future Hall of Famer not allow It.

1609
01:17:55,880 --> 01:17:58,680
Speaker 13: Was made of the leadership that you guys lost this

1610
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:01,519
Speaker 13: this offseason. Six of the eight captains from last year.

1611
01:18:01,520 --> 01:18:04,040
Speaker 13: How do you feel like, you know, this new wave

1612
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:06,880
Speaker 13: of leaders on this team has emerged this summer.

1613
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 18: I think to be a great football player, you have

1614
01:18:10,040 --> 01:18:13,439
Speaker 18: to have some element of leadership, you know, especially to

1615
01:18:13,479 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 18: make it all the way up to this level. And

1616
01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,080
Speaker 18: all of these guys are capable of leading, whether it's verbal,

1617
01:18:18,120 --> 01:18:22,479
Speaker 18: whether it's by actions, where there's you know, mental stuff

1618
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:24,280
Speaker 18: that they can bring to the table. But everybody on

1619
01:18:24,280 --> 01:18:26,719
Speaker 18: this team is a leader in some form of fashion,

1620
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 18: and the young guys. It creates an opportunity for these

1621
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 18: young guys to step up and be leaders as well.

1622
01:18:31,880 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 18: You know, TV has been a leader for a while

1623
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:34,920
Speaker 18: on this team. He's gonna be one for.

1624
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:35,439
Speaker 1: Us this year.

1625
01:18:35,479 --> 01:18:37,519
Speaker 18: He's a great leader, and it just creates space for

1626
01:18:37,560 --> 01:18:39,040
Speaker 18: all the new young leaders to come up.

1627
01:18:39,160 --> 01:18:39,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned TV.

1628
01:18:39,960 --> 01:18:42,280
Speaker 13: I was gonna ask it if anyone in particular in

1629
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,559
Speaker 13: your mind has has sort of emerged in that role.

1630
01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 18: Yeah, TV for sure. And yeah, I'll just be a

1631
01:18:47,840 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 18: vice president. I'm the vice president that has been there

1632
01:18:50,880 --> 01:18:53,040
Speaker 18: before and I support him on whatever decision that he make.

1633
01:18:53,560 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 18: And I told him the other day, you know, it's

1634
01:18:56,240 --> 01:18:59,559
Speaker 18: not about always, you know, waiting for the right time

1635
01:18:59,600 --> 01:19:01,320
Speaker 18: to say. I'm waiting for the right thing. You just

1636
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 18: gotta say it and then I'll back you up on that.

1637
01:19:03,760 --> 01:19:06,880
Speaker 18: So leadership is UH in good hands here and UH

1638
01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:08,400
Speaker 18: with the Buffalo Bill.

1639
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:13,120
Speaker 16: So type of leadership as anyone else's play on the field.

1640
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:14,880
Speaker 16: It stood out to you just with what they've done

1641
01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:16,200
Speaker 16: in training camp in preseason.

1642
01:19:16,840 --> 01:19:20,720
Speaker 18: Christian Benford, Christian Benford is taking a huge step. He's

1643
01:19:20,760 --> 01:19:25,440
Speaker 18: ready for that leadership well as well. Dalton King K DAWSONX.

1644
01:19:25,479 --> 01:19:28,120
Speaker 18: All of these guys are are great players. Dalton daln

1645
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:31,640
Speaker 18: Kin kid Is, He's incredible. I've been a fan of

1646
01:19:31,880 --> 01:19:34,519
Speaker 18: him since he got here and year two being in

1647
01:19:34,520 --> 01:19:36,280
Speaker 18: the league for a whole other year to be great

1648
01:19:37,000 --> 01:19:39,080
Speaker 18: to go out there and see him put it out there.

1649
01:19:40,160 --> 01:19:42,200
Speaker 1: How do you feel where you're at.

1650
01:19:42,040 --> 01:19:45,800
Speaker 18: With the regular season now just around I feel good.

1651
01:19:47,160 --> 01:19:48,760
Speaker 18: Small fourteenth year in the league.

1652
01:19:50,040 --> 01:19:51,240
Speaker 1: You know, I practice hard.

1653
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,759
Speaker 18: I pushed myself in practice, so whenever game time comes,

1654
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:56,880
Speaker 18: you know I'll be I'll be.

1655
01:19:56,880 --> 01:19:57,280
Speaker 1: Ready for that.

1656
01:19:58,360 --> 01:19:59,960
Speaker 6: As a team, how do you feel like this group

1657
01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:00,759
Speaker 6: kind of evolved?

1658
01:20:00,800 --> 01:20:02,479
Speaker 1: And you know we're a couple of weeks away from

1659
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:03,440
Speaker 1: the regular season.

1660
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:07,320
Speaker 18: Now, Yeah, the team is in a great spot. We

1661
01:20:07,439 --> 01:20:09,920
Speaker 18: got a standard here in Buffalo. Standard has been here

1662
01:20:09,960 --> 01:20:11,760
Speaker 18: way before I got here, way before any of these

1663
01:20:11,800 --> 01:20:13,840
Speaker 18: guys were on the team. And you know, we're just

1664
01:20:13,880 --> 01:20:16,479
Speaker 18: trying to uphold their standard of of Buffalo Bills football.

1665
01:20:17,800 --> 01:20:19,760
Speaker 2: All Right, So that's von Miller kind of telling you

1666
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:23,400
Speaker 2: where he's at. And I think he's he's in a

1667
01:20:23,479 --> 01:20:26,360
Speaker 2: much healthier place going into this season than he was

1668
01:20:26,439 --> 01:20:29,680
Speaker 2: last year at this time, because when you're older, it

1669
01:20:29,680 --> 01:20:31,920
Speaker 2: takes a little longer to recover from those major injuries

1670
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:32,559
Speaker 2: like in ACL.

1671
01:20:33,800 --> 01:20:36,559
Speaker 1: Yeah, and he's he still has a lot to offer.

1672
01:20:36,640 --> 01:20:38,040
Speaker 5: I think that's one of the reasons. One of the

1673
01:20:38,040 --> 01:20:40,680
Speaker 5: big benefits we saw early on in his tenure here

1674
01:20:40,680 --> 01:20:42,880
Speaker 5: in Buffalo was his ability to mentor the young guys.

1675
01:20:42,880 --> 01:20:45,760
Speaker 5: And plus he's he has been around the block once

1676
01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,479
Speaker 5: or twice in the NFL. He's won a World championship twice,

1677
01:20:48,560 --> 01:20:51,240
Speaker 5: two different teams. There's very few people in the league

1678
01:20:51,439 --> 01:20:54,320
Speaker 5: in league history you have done that. So he brings

1679
01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 5: something to the table that can be utilized by the

1680
01:20:57,240 --> 01:21:01,360
Speaker 5: guys around him. You saw how he recognize things. And

1681
01:21:01,520 --> 01:21:03,360
Speaker 5: Christian Benford was the name I was a little surprised

1682
01:21:03,400 --> 01:21:08,679
Speaker 5: to hear as being a bigger voice in the locker room.

1683
01:21:09,880 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 5: You know, stuff like that that Vaughn notices and can

1684
01:21:12,640 --> 01:21:14,800
Speaker 5: help with and also going to those guys. And I

1685
01:21:14,880 --> 01:21:17,760
Speaker 5: think Vaughn's sharp enough to know that leadership needs to

1686
01:21:17,760 --> 01:21:21,200
Speaker 5: come from your best players. And when you recognize that,

1687
01:21:22,560 --> 01:21:26,559
Speaker 5: as as Vaughn who probably is certainly a Hall of Famer,

1688
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,559
Speaker 5: but maybe not on the list of guys who are

1689
01:21:28,600 --> 01:21:31,040
Speaker 5: in the locker, you know, best player on the field

1690
01:21:31,080 --> 01:21:34,080
Speaker 5: all the time. Now he's a specialized pass rusher perhaps,

1691
01:21:35,600 --> 01:21:37,400
Speaker 5: but going to those guys saying hey, it's your time,

1692
01:21:37,479 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 5: let's go, and and kind of supporting them, and you know,

1693
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,240
Speaker 5: saying yeah, it's okay for you to leave. You don't

1694
01:21:42,280 --> 01:21:44,320
Speaker 5: have to, you don't have to ask for you are,

1695
01:21:44,479 --> 01:21:47,920
Speaker 5: let's go. That helps those guys and makes the team

1696
01:21:47,960 --> 01:21:48,800
Speaker 5: better because of it.

1697
01:21:49,760 --> 01:21:51,840
Speaker 2: We have yet to pick a player on offense and

1698
01:21:51,920 --> 01:21:54,320
Speaker 2: defense that we think can make a case for the roster.

1699
01:21:54,439 --> 01:21:58,880
Speaker 2: Steve on defense, I'm kind of gravitating to to Corey Couch,

1700
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:04,120
Speaker 2: the undrafted rookie who's played some nickel and you know,

1701
01:22:04,280 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 2: with Taron Johnson not expected to play in this game

1702
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:11,519
Speaker 2: coming up, and Cam lewis helping out at safety because

1703
01:22:11,560 --> 01:22:14,679
Speaker 2: of the lack of numbers there, I think to Corey

1704
01:22:14,720 --> 01:22:17,200
Speaker 2: Couch is going to see a ton of time in

1705
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:20,080
Speaker 2: that slot corner role. And I've liked what I've seen

1706
01:22:20,080 --> 01:22:22,000
Speaker 2: from him. I don't know if he makes the roster,

1707
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:25,240
Speaker 2: but I think he is certainly a super strong candidate

1708
01:22:25,880 --> 01:22:28,040
Speaker 2: to be on the team's practice squad. You know, when

1709
01:22:28,040 --> 01:22:30,360
Speaker 2: the roster decisions are made, that's a guy on defense.

1710
01:22:30,439 --> 01:22:32,160
Speaker 2: Anybody on defense, that out.

1711
01:22:32,400 --> 01:22:34,000
Speaker 1: Trure guy makes it. Mine probably won't.

1712
01:22:34,120 --> 01:22:38,000
Speaker 5: I think de Kwon Hardy is gonna make it. His

1713
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:40,720
Speaker 5: return ability is going to be his first contribution. But

1714
01:22:40,760 --> 01:22:43,080
Speaker 5: I'm with you, I think that both those guys, Couch

1715
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:46,120
Speaker 5: and Hardy, have just made too many plays, you know,

1716
01:22:46,240 --> 01:22:50,840
Speaker 5: to be ignored. It does put him fat with the

1717
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:53,080
Speaker 5: number of defensive backs they'd keep if they caught both

1718
01:22:53,160 --> 01:22:55,519
Speaker 5: kept both those guys. But I'm with you, I think

1719
01:22:55,520 --> 01:22:58,800
Speaker 5: they they got some guys they can really look to

1720
01:22:58,080 --> 01:23:02,840
Speaker 5: to contribute, both as down in distance guys in the back,

1721
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:05,599
Speaker 5: defensive backfield or special teams guys.

1722
01:23:06,040 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Couch has shown there's stuff to work

1723
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:13,360
Speaker 2: with there, and knowing the player development capabilities of this

1724
01:23:13,439 --> 01:23:15,920
Speaker 2: coaching staff, I could see them looking at him and saying,

1725
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:19,080
Speaker 2: we can make that guy a player here. So I

1726
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:22,480
Speaker 2: could see him on the practice squad provided his performance

1727
01:23:22,479 --> 01:23:25,320
Speaker 2: continues here. In this last preseason game on the offensive side,

1728
01:23:25,320 --> 01:23:29,479
Speaker 2: of the ball. I was struggling to find somebody that

1729
01:23:29,600 --> 01:23:33,040
Speaker 2: I really thought could make a play for the roster

1730
01:23:33,080 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 2: because I think with the injuries combined with what we've

1731
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:37,599
Speaker 2: seen thus far, I think a lot of these decisions

1732
01:23:37,640 --> 01:23:40,160
Speaker 2: are pretty cut and dry. But I thought one guy

1733
01:23:40,200 --> 01:23:42,840
Speaker 2: that had a nice week of practice this week, perhaps

1734
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:46,920
Speaker 2: his best since he got here, was Xavier Johnson, the

1735
01:23:46,960 --> 01:23:50,200
Speaker 2: receiver out of Ohio State. An undrafted rookie, he has

1736
01:23:50,240 --> 01:23:52,200
Speaker 2: been buried on the depth chart, but with the injury

1737
01:23:52,200 --> 01:23:55,960
Speaker 2: to Lawrence Keys, another fellow undrafted rookie free agent, and

1738
01:23:56,040 --> 01:23:58,000
Speaker 2: some of the other injuries that have taken place at

1739
01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 2: the receiver position, he's gotten more reps of late, and

1740
01:24:01,160 --> 01:24:03,400
Speaker 2: I thought he put together a really solid week. Now

1741
01:24:03,439 --> 01:24:07,400
Speaker 2: if he can carry that into the preseason game, you

1742
01:24:07,400 --> 01:24:09,519
Speaker 2: know again, I think this is a guy that makes

1743
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:12,439
Speaker 2: himself a more viable practice squad candidate. I think it's

1744
01:24:12,479 --> 01:24:14,760
Speaker 2: tough to climb up the depth chart at this point

1745
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:17,240
Speaker 2: in time at the receiver position, but I think with

1746
01:24:17,320 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 2: a good performance Saturday, he could have a good look

1747
01:24:20,439 --> 01:24:21,280
Speaker 2: at the practice squad.

1748
01:24:21,320 --> 01:24:21,880
Speaker 3: I really do.

1749
01:24:22,320 --> 01:24:24,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm kind of with you. Because of the injuries,

1750
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:26,240
Speaker 5: I don't think he's say question. I think Zach Davidson

1751
01:24:26,320 --> 01:24:28,439
Speaker 5: is gonna be in. He was a guy I didn't

1752
01:24:29,960 --> 01:24:33,760
Speaker 5: you'd look right past at the beginning of training camp,

1753
01:24:33,760 --> 01:24:36,880
Speaker 5: but not so much anymore. I think he falls into

1754
01:24:37,080 --> 01:24:41,640
Speaker 5: the mold of Dalton Kincaid. He's a pass catching tight end,

1755
01:24:41,680 --> 01:24:45,519
Speaker 5: but he's also a big, big body. His skill set

1756
01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:47,519
Speaker 5: isn't as diverse as you would like it to be.

1757
01:24:48,680 --> 01:24:51,600
Speaker 5: But what he does he does extremely well, and I

1758
01:24:51,640 --> 01:24:53,320
Speaker 5: think he's got a chance to do it. And plus

1759
01:24:53,360 --> 01:24:58,120
Speaker 5: with the injury to Quentin Morris, I almost think I

1760
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:00,519
Speaker 5: don't think it's almost by default he's gonna make it now.

1761
01:25:01,840 --> 01:25:05,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean again, we have to wait and see,

1762
01:25:05,400 --> 01:25:08,840
Speaker 2: because as coach McDermott said earlier today, he's not ruling

1763
01:25:08,880 --> 01:25:11,360
Speaker 2: any of those guys out for week one yet, right

1764
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:15,080
Speaker 2: And Morris was doing some work on the side at

1765
01:25:15,120 --> 01:25:18,280
Speaker 2: practice today, so that was certainly an encouraging sign. He's

1766
01:25:18,280 --> 01:25:20,800
Speaker 2: already working with the strength and conditioning staff to try

1767
01:25:20,800 --> 01:25:26,719
Speaker 2: to get back. But if he's iffy for week one,

1768
01:25:27,160 --> 01:25:30,360
Speaker 2: I mean you got to have a third And I

1769
01:25:30,360 --> 01:25:32,400
Speaker 2: don't know, do they feel like Reggie Gilliam can do

1770
01:25:32,439 --> 01:25:35,479
Speaker 2: all the things that Quintin Morris can execute and they're

1771
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:38,559
Speaker 2: fine there, Well, okay, and then maybe you'll wait on that.

1772
01:25:38,680 --> 01:25:41,479
Speaker 2: But I think Davidson's done enough in the passing game

1773
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:44,760
Speaker 2: to prove a worthy weapon. And if you're going to

1774
01:25:44,800 --> 01:25:47,599
Speaker 2: play a lot of twelve personnel this season, you probably

1775
01:25:47,600 --> 01:25:50,760
Speaker 2: need to carry four on your active roster like the

1776
01:25:50,800 --> 01:25:52,240
Speaker 2: whole season, right.

1777
01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 1: Yeah, the injuries have thrown a level of uncertainty in

1778
01:25:56,560 --> 01:25:58,760
Speaker 1: there because of how ready Quentin Morris will be and

1779
01:25:58,800 --> 01:26:01,880
Speaker 1: how soon he will be ready, because I think, yeah,

1780
01:26:01,960 --> 01:26:04,680
Speaker 1: he's helped. He's on the roster obviously, So.

1781
01:26:06,120 --> 01:26:08,879
Speaker 5: What happens in the meantime or how long that meantime

1782
01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:10,799
Speaker 5: is says a lot about the final cuts.

1783
01:26:11,320 --> 01:26:14,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, so there'll be plenty to keep an eye on.

1784
01:26:14,439 --> 01:26:17,160
Speaker 2: I know some people say, ah, the starters aren't playing.

1785
01:26:17,439 --> 01:26:19,200
Speaker 3: I don't even know if I'm gonna bother.

1786
01:26:19,800 --> 01:26:23,360
Speaker 2: I mean, you got some, you got some bottom of

1787
01:26:23,360 --> 01:26:26,519
Speaker 2: the roster decisions that are pretty compelling for this.

1788
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:27,719
Speaker 3: Game on Saturday.

1789
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,000
Speaker 2: And and you add in the fact that those guys

1790
01:26:31,000 --> 01:26:33,080
Speaker 2: fighting for roster spots are going to be going against

1791
01:26:33,120 --> 01:26:35,280
Speaker 2: starting caliber players. Know, when the Panthers are at least

1792
01:26:35,320 --> 01:26:38,200
Speaker 2: starting the game with their starters, I think it provides

1793
01:26:38,240 --> 01:26:41,679
Speaker 2: a very valuable evaluation opportunity for this coaching staff to say,

1794
01:26:42,400 --> 01:26:44,080
Speaker 2: you know what, this kid's really got something and he's

1795
01:26:44,080 --> 01:26:48,400
Speaker 2: going against you know, another team's ones, right, albeit a

1796
01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:50,640
Speaker 2: team that's still kind of in the lower third of

1797
01:26:50,680 --> 01:26:53,840
Speaker 2: the league in the Carolina Panthers, But nonetheless I think

1798
01:26:53,880 --> 01:26:55,960
Speaker 2: that that has added value as well.

1799
01:26:56,800 --> 01:27:02,479
Speaker 5: Yeah, there's no question, and you get into this thing

1800
01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:06,120
Speaker 5: about making the roster, not making the roster. For most

1801
01:27:06,160 --> 01:27:09,280
Speaker 5: of these guys, the practice squad is a big win

1802
01:27:09,360 --> 01:27:12,920
Speaker 5: as well. Get just getting onto that practice squad to

1803
01:27:13,000 --> 01:27:16,000
Speaker 5: be in the building, be able to be a professional

1804
01:27:16,000 --> 01:27:18,759
Speaker 5: athlete for a year, to learn how just get better

1805
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:20,960
Speaker 5: and better and better, and then you know, make when

1806
01:27:21,000 --> 01:27:22,840
Speaker 5: you do get an opportunity, because if you're on a

1807
01:27:22,840 --> 01:27:26,000
Speaker 5: practice squad, you are going to get an opportunity. When

1808
01:27:26,040 --> 01:27:30,120
Speaker 5: you do get that opportunity, hit a home run. That's

1809
01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:32,320
Speaker 5: what a lot of these guys are on the cusp

1810
01:27:32,360 --> 01:27:37,599
Speaker 5: of that as well. There's only about what twenty one

1811
01:27:37,720 --> 01:27:41,280
Speaker 5: guys who will be completely out the door if they

1812
01:27:41,400 --> 01:27:45,960
Speaker 5: brought only their training camp roster back on the practice squad.

1813
01:27:46,360 --> 01:27:48,240
Speaker 5: It's only twenty one guys that'll be out the door

1814
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:51,920
Speaker 5: for good. So you got to you're trying to get

1815
01:27:51,960 --> 01:27:55,280
Speaker 5: to that point, and being on a practice squad of

1816
01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:58,000
Speaker 5: an NFL team is a pretty good job, and guys

1817
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:00,720
Speaker 5: really want a chance to do that. So that's just

1818
01:28:01,160 --> 01:28:02,760
Speaker 5: big a win for some of these guys at the

1819
01:28:02,760 --> 01:28:04,679
Speaker 5: bottom of the roster is getting on the fifty three.

1820
01:28:05,040 --> 01:28:06,120
Speaker 3: Gotta take a break here.

1821
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:08,160
Speaker 2: A final thought on the tweetcheet when we return here

1822
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:26,600
Speaker 2: on one Bill's Live stay with us, all right, A

1823
01:28:26,680 --> 01:28:28,439
Speaker 2: final thought on the tweet sheet here as well. He

1824
01:28:28,520 --> 01:28:31,439
Speaker 2: asked you today give us a player on offense, player

1825
01:28:31,479 --> 01:28:33,280
Speaker 2: on defense that can make a case for a roster

1826
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:37,360
Speaker 2: spot on Saturday against the Panthers, and Bishop BP says

1827
01:28:37,960 --> 01:28:40,240
Speaker 2: Gilliam on offense because I honestly think he's just a

1828
01:28:40,280 --> 01:28:42,559
Speaker 2: special teams guy at this point since we barely use

1829
01:28:42,600 --> 01:28:44,920
Speaker 2: a fullback, and I think Davidson can help us more

1830
01:28:45,240 --> 01:28:48,479
Speaker 2: with the twelve personnel and play special teams hardy on

1831
01:28:48,560 --> 01:28:49,759
Speaker 2: defense and special teams.

1832
01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,920
Speaker 3: He's looked good in coverage, always around the ball. Yeah.

1833
01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,439
Speaker 2: I just I think Gilliam's on the roster. I think

1834
01:28:55,479 --> 01:28:59,040
Speaker 2: he does too many things well yeah, and there's a

1835
01:28:59,080 --> 01:28:59,479
Speaker 2: lot of the.

1836
01:28:59,439 --> 01:29:03,040
Speaker 5: Dirty work, and he does give them a personnel package

1837
01:29:03,040 --> 01:29:06,080
Speaker 5: as a fullback that they wouldn't have otherwise. You can

1838
01:29:06,080 --> 01:29:09,000
Speaker 5: always put an offensive lineman back there and just plug

1839
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,200
Speaker 5: a body in there. But his skill set is real

1840
01:29:12,600 --> 01:29:14,400
Speaker 5: and you gotta respect it.

1841
01:29:15,320 --> 01:29:17,799
Speaker 3: So I mean, I think he's good to go Hardy.

1842
01:29:18,200 --> 01:29:22,000
Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I think they're keeping six corners.

1843
01:29:22,120 --> 01:29:22,680
Speaker 3: I really do.

1844
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:24,800
Speaker 1: It makes some sense.

1845
01:29:24,840 --> 01:29:26,560
Speaker 5: You have three corners that play, and you got to

1846
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 5: have a backup for each, so I see the logic

1847
01:29:30,040 --> 01:29:30,240
Speaker 5: of it.

1848
01:29:30,280 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: But that's a lot of guys.

1849
01:29:32,640 --> 01:29:34,720
Speaker 3: It is a lot, But I think you can do it.

1850
